Dawn decides to go to Hearthome City to visit many places there while Paul decides to go there to battle one of the new members of the Frontier Brain, Dahlia. The two of them bumped into each other, what will happen then? Ikarishiping story.

4. Paul's First Frontier Battle

At last, chapter 4 is finally up. It's been weeks since I've last update a chapter, now I'm back and this will be a long chapter, please read and review!

Paul wakes up and gets out of the bed to go outside and train. He summons Froslass to strategies the Pokemon. Froslass uses Hail to hide itself and Paul commands the next attack. "Use Blizzard!" shouts Paul. Froslass then uses Blizzard, causing the whole ground transform to ice. Dawn hears the noise and goes outside.

"Paul, what was that?" asks Dawn.

Paul replies, "Just a little training before I battle Dahlia."

"I'll help out, go Togekiss!" shouts Dawn. "Toge-kiss!" Togekiss makes it introduction to Paul and Froslass. "Togekiss use Aura Sphere!"

Paul then commands Froslass, "Use Hail." Froslass then uses Hail to hide itself again, leaving Togekiss lost. "Now use Blizzard!" Froslass uses Blizzard which directly hits Togekiss and faints.

"Ohh no Togekiss!" shouts Dawn and holds Togekiss, "Your Blizzard directly attacks Togekiss, but how?"

Paul explains to Dawn, "Froslass's ability hides during a hailstorm, which causes a 100% for Blizzard to attack the opponent whether your Pokemon is dodging or not, on top of that Flying-Type is weak against Ice-Type."

Dawn blushes a little and said, "Well, I wasn't that much of a help am I?"

"You are, I just realized that my combination will never miss, I used you as a test and it worked, I should thank you instead," said Paul.

"Togekiss return," said Dawn then continues, "So then do you think that would work on Dahlia?"

Paul starts walking and said, "I have to find out when I battle her."

"Hey wait for me!" shouts Dawn. Dawn runs toward Paul and they both walk together. "So where are you going now?"

"Directly to the Battle Arcade," said Paul.

Dawn then said, "Hold on, you have to eat first, don't be in a rush."

Paul stares at Dawn. He then said, "You're right, can't battle in an empty stomach."

Dawn giggles and said, "That sounds like Ash."

"Mentioning you up your boyfriend again?" asks Paul.

Dawn got irritated and said, "Excuse me mister but Ash isn't-"

Paul interrupted Dawn, "Are you so cranky that you need food, let's hurry then." Paul then smirks at her.

"Ohh you're such a jerk sometimes," said Dawn with an annoyed voice.

Paul then pats her head and said, "I was only kidding."

Dawn looks away blushing and said, "Sure I guess."

"Come on Dawn, let's go," said Paul, continuing to walk. Dawn then hears Paul saying her name again. She happily walks and shouts, "Okay!"

They reach to a desert store, where Dawn orders her strawberry shortcake. "Yum, this is delicious," said Dawn smiling.

Paul stares at Dawn with a priceless face and said, "So that's your breakfast?"

"No need to worry, here's some of mine, try it," said Dawn. Dawn then puts her hand under the spoon to feed Paul. Paul took a bite and blushes a little.

"It's…not bad," said Paul.

Dawn smiles and said, "I'm glad you like it."

Paul then stares at Dawn for a bit and said, "You seem like a very happy person Dawn."

"Of course, no matter what brings me down, there's always a way of happiness," said Dawn.

Paul then saids, "I have a question then," he paused and asks, "Can you make me happy?"

Dawn smiles and holds one of his hands. She then talks in a gentle voice, "I want to see Paul happy, so I'll try my best to make you smile." Paul sees how Dawn cares for him and smiles at him, which makes him smiles back.

"Well let's go now, off to the battle arcade," said Paul.

Dawn shouts, "I'll be cheering for you!" They both leave the restaurant and go to the Battle Arcade.

"Welcome young trainer, you ready for me?" asks Dahlia.

Paul replies, "Let's go Dahlia. Both Paul and Dahlia go to the stadium and the referee stands on the middle.

"This will be a 5-on-5 battle, both trainers are allowed to switch Pokemon during battle, begin!" shouts the referee.

Dahlia chooses her first Pokemon, "Blaziken, show yourself!" Blazikin is summon and cries, "Blaze!"

"Magmortar, stand by for battle!" shouts Paul.

"Now for the Arcade Roulette!" shouts the Referee.

Paul asked, "The Arcade Roulette, what is that?"

"Simple, a roulette that gives either an advantage or disadvantage of yours of mine Pokemon!" shouts Dahlia.

Paul then said, "So part of this is base on luck huh, okay then."

"Go Paul, hope you get a good one!" shouts Dawn.

Dahlia then said, "I'll give you an example, I'll start the Arcade Roulette first." The roulette starts spinning. The roulette then stops on a picture of a lightning sign. "That means my Pokemon is paralyzed, your turn."

It was Paul turn and the roulette starts spinning. The roulette stops and shows an up arrow.

"That means your Pokemon will be a little stronger only on this round," said Dahlia.

Paul then said, "I got your game now, since you're paralyzed I get to first, Magmortar use Flamethrower."

"Dodge and use Thunder punch!" shouts Dahlia. Blaziken jumps and Thunder punches Magmortar, which leave him paralyze. "Now we're even!" shouts Dahlia

Paul commands, "Use Rock Tomb!" Magmortar uses Rock Tomb and Blaziken got paralyzed. It the directly hits Blaziken. "Follow it up with Fire Punch!

"Dodge and show off using Super Power!" shouts Dahlia. Blaziken spins and uses Super Power and directly hits Magmortar. It then falls down and Dahlia is about to command again, "Now Blaziken use Flare Blitz."

Paul shouts, "Dodge, then Rock Tomb!" Magmortar barely dodges and uses Rock Tomb. It hits Blaziken, and eventually gets knocked out.

"Blaziken is unable to battle, the winner is Magmortar!" shouts the Referee.

Dahlia returns Blaziken and said, "Just a warm up my friend, but now the show is starting, Ludicolo, show yourself!" Ludicolo summons and cries, "Ludicolo!" The roulette spins and stops. It was a picture of rain. "Alright, the rain will maximize the beat!" shouts Dahlia. It then starts to rain.

"Magmortar, Fire Spin now!" shouts Paul. Magmortar uses Fire Spin and attacks Ludicolo, but doesn't take a lot of damage due to rain. "Nice try, but the rain reduces your Fire Spin," said Dahlia.

"Ludicolo, speed up Drain Punch!" shouts Dahlia. Ludicolo's speed increases because of the ability swift swim. "What speed, hurry and dodge it!" shouts Paul while he was surprise. It was too late for Electivire and Ludicolo then reaches to Magmortar and uses Drain Punch to get the hits back from Magmortar. Magmortar then collapses and knocks out.

"Magmortar is unable to battle, the winner is Ludicolo," said the Referee. "Darn it, my Pokemon cannot keep up that Pokemon's speed," said Paul angrily.

"Paul you can do it!" shouts Dawn. Paul looks at her and smiles a little bit. "Okay then, Electivire, stand by for battle!" shouts Paul. The Roulette spins and it stops at a picture of poison.

"Ha, your Pokemon will now be poison," said Dahlia.

Paul got irritated and said, "That was a bad one, but I have to deal with it," then continues, "Electivire use Thunder!" Electivire charges it Thunder and strikes at Ludicolo, but its Swift Swim dodges it.

"Use Drain Punch!" shouts Dahlia. Ludicolo then swiftly runs and about to use Drain Punch.

Paul commands, "Hurry and use Light Screen!" Electivire uses Light Screen before Ludicolo reaches to it. Ludicolo then use Drain Punch and continues to do it with a beat, which made the Light Screen weaker.

"I remember she said to get to the beat, so that means while Ludicolo is on its beat, I can attack before the Light Screen ends," said Paul, "Giga Impact now!" Electivire uses Giga Impact on Ludicolo, which breaks the Light Screen and gives Ludicolo a direct hit. Ludicolo falls, but stands up and dances.

"Alright Ludicolo, show off by using Sword Dance!" shouts Dahlia. Ludicolo starts dancing, which raises it attack. "Now perform your Waterfall!" shouts Dahlia. Ludicolo spins around and start a waterfall around him. The rain is still active and Electivire just finished resting.

Paul shouts, "Full power Thunder Punch!" Electivire charges it Thunder Punch, but Dahlia adds another attack for Ludicolo, "Use Razor Leaf to reduce the damage to Thunder Punch!"

Electivire finishes charging his Thunder Punch and strikes at Ludicolo. It then makes an explosion and Ludicolo knocks out, but at the same time, the poison knocks out Electivire.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," shouts the Referee. Paul and Dahlia return their Pokemon.

Dahlia then said, "Looks like I need to show you some more beats," she dances and continues, "Now Medicham, show yourself!" Medicham is summon and starts to meditate.

"Perfect, Honchcrow stand by for battle," said Paul, summoning Honchcrow. They both start the roulette and Dahlia got a down arrow while Paul got a sunny weather.

Dahlia then said, "Our small disadvantage, my Medicham has a higher chance of getting knocked out while your Honchcrow loses accuracy due to sunlight."

"That's fine by me, Honchcrow use Night Slash," said Paul. Honchcrow uses Night slash, but Medicham automatically dodges. "What, you didn't command it to dodge," said Paul.

Dahlia then explains, "Of course, it knows when to dodge, its meditation knows your beat."

Paul was confused, but still continues, "Honchcrow, use Dark Pulse!" Honchcrow fires Dark Pulse but Dahlia commands Medicham, "Use Fake Out!" Medicham dodges and uses Fake Out on Honchcrow. "And now, use Zen Headbutt," said Dahlia. Medicham directly hits Honchcrow, which makes it fall.

Honchcrow then gets up and Paul commands, "Now Honchcrow, fly up in the sky and use Shadow Ball." Honchcrow flies up so Medicham can't see the sunlight. It then fires Shadow Ball around Medicham and the Shadow Ball would not explode, causing Medicham trapped.

"Now Honchcrow, use Sky Attack," said Paul. Honchcrow dives in a Sky Attack to directly hit Medicham. At the same time, the Shadow Ball explodes, which takes damage to Medicham, but before that happens, Dahlia commands, "Endure yourself man." Medicham uses Endure before Honchcrow attacks Medicham.

"Ha, Endure saves my precious Medicham, and now for the finale!" shouts Dahlia, "Use Reversal!" Medicham gets up and uses Reversal to attack Honchcrow directly. Honchcrow was finally knocked out.

"Honchcrow is unable to battle, the winner is Medicham," shouts the Referee. Dahlia explains, "Endure is when a Pokemon is 1% active after taking a big attack, and Reversal receives more damage to the opponent depends on Medicham's active, the lower the stronger."

"You're kidding me right?" asks Paul angrily. Paul returns Honchcrow and clenches his fist. "Paul, don't give up!" shouts Dawn. Paul then notices that Dawn is there to cheer for him. "You still have two Pokemon left, you can turn the tables around!" shouts Dawn. He then calm his mind and continues, "Ursuring, stand by for battle!"

Ursuring roars at Medicham, and then the roulette starts for Paul. The roulette stops and there was no picture. "No event for you, that means your Pokemon will have no effect," Dahlia explain. "Fine by me," said Paul, "Ursuring, use Slash." Medicham is unable to dodge due to its situation, which takes the hit from Ursuring. Medicham then knocks out.

"Medicham is unable to battle, the winner is Ursuring," shouts the referee. "Not a surprise pal, but watch my next Pokemon Dusknoir, show yourself!" shouts Dahlia.

Dusknoir is summoned and the roulette starts. The roulette stops on a picture of a sandstorm. The sandstorm then starts raging, causing a disadvantage to both Ursuring and Dusknoir. "Looks like my kind of fun!" shouts Dahlia, "Trick your opponent using Trick Room." Dusknoir then uses Trick Room and the whole area become transparent, and then disappears.

"I'll explain, it makes slow Pokemon move first, get it?" asks Dahlia. "Too bad you used up your turn, Ursuring use Odor Sleuth." Ursuring begins to use Odor Sleuth. "It allows Normal-Type and Fighting-Type effective to Ghost-Type Pokemon."

Dahlia then said, "In that case I have a trick, use Magic Coat!" Dusknoir then uses Magic Coat which affects Dusknoir but reflects the move back to Ursuring. "Brilliant, but now the show starts, Magic Coat reflects your move like a mirror, now we can both attack!" said Dahlia.

Paul then said, "This would make the battle interesting, Ursuring use Slash." Ursuring runs and about to use Slash on him, but Dahlia commands, "Dusknoir, trap it using Will-O-Wisp." Dusknoir uses Will-O-Wisp to stop Ursuring and causing him a burn. Ursuring then got angry and its ability starts to activate. "You trigger its special ability, Guts, now you're finish," said Paul.

"Not necessary my friend, Shadow Punch on Ursuring!" shouts Dahlia. Dusknoir then uses Shadow Punch and punches Ursuring little by little, causing Ursuring to flinch. "Don't fail me Ursuring, use Hammer Arm!" commands Paul. Ursuring still takes the hit, but at the same time it charges its Hammer Arm. Ursuring then roars and directly hits Dusknoir. The sandstorm then rages and Dusknoir disappear.

"You know what to do Dusknoir," said Dahlia. All of a sudden, Dusknoir is behind Ursuring and launch another Shadow Punch, making him fall. Ursuring was then hurt by sandstorm and burn. "What was that?" asks Paul.

Dahlia explains, "Dusknoir may have a disadvantage in a sandstorm, but I train it using my weather device, so you can't predict the rhythm of Dusknoir!" Paul then thinks to himself, "There's only one way to solve this."

Paul then commands Ursuring, "Ursuring jump up and use Hyper Beam!" Ursuring jumps out and uses Hyper Beam on the whole field and Dusknoir was found partially hit. "Now directly use Hammer Arm," said Paul. Ursuring charges Hammer Arm and attacks Dusknoir, knocking him out.

"Dusknoir is unable to battle, the winner is Ursuring," said the referee. Ursuring is really tired, but still able to fight. "You have one more Pokemon left," said Paul. Dawn then cheers for Paul, "Alright go Paul he's the man if you can't do it no one can!"

"Looks like your girlfriend there seems a little happy," said Dahlia. Paul then got a little irritated, "Again she's not my girlfriend," then smiles and continues, "but she's rooting for me, and I won't let her down."

"Then here goes my last Pokemon, show yourself, Zapdos!" Dahlia throws her Poke ball in the air and it releases Zapdos, the electric legendary Pokemon. The roulette starts and a stop at a picture of a couple "Z" words, which makes Zapdos falling asleep.

"Looks like I get the advantage, Ursuring use Hyper Beam!" commands Paul. Ursuring charges it Hyper Beam and directly hits Zapdos. After the hit, Zapdos wakes up furiously and begins to howl. "Nice, but I won't hold back, Zapdos use Signal Beam," commands Dahlia. Zapdos immediately uses Signal Beam and attacks Ursuring and eventually knocks out.

"Ursuring is unable to battle, the winner is Zapdos," shout the Referee. Paul returns Ursuring and takes out a Poke ball. Paul stares at it, thinking that he isn't going to win, but Dawn cheers for Paul. "Paul, I know this is hard, but you can do it, I believe in you Paul!" shouts Dawn.

Paul's eyes were widen and surprised that she is cheering for him all the way. Paul realizes that Dawn has been cheering for him since the beginning. This makes Paul more confident and happy. Paul then whispers to the Poke Ball, "I'm counting on you," then throws the Poke Ball and shouts, "Froslass, stand by for battle." Froslass is summoned and the roulette starts. Paul stares at the roulette and it stops on a picture of an iceberg. "What a coincidence," said Paul. Froslass is then covered in ice which freezes it, but a few second later it shatters. "Ice-Type Pokemon can never be frozen, it is impossible for Froslass to be frozen."

"Then the finale begins, Zapdos use thunderbolt," commands Dahlia. Zapdos uses Thunderbolt, getting ready to strike Froslass. "Dodge it and use Ice Beam," shouts Paul. Froslass moves away and uses Ice Beam on Zapdos. "Fire it up by using Heat Wave," commands Dahlia. Zapdos uses Heat Wave to melt Ice Beam and attacks Froslass. "Froslass no!" shouts Paul.

Froslass is damage by Heat Wave, but still stands up. "Now use Signal Beam!" commands Dahlia. Zapdos fires Signal Beam but Paul commands Froslass, "Perfect, use Ice Shard." Froslass uses Ice Shard and destroys Signal Beam along with Zapdos. Zapdos then charges at Froslass, "Air Cutter to the max," commands Dahlia. Zapdos fires several Air Cutters and it hits Froslass.

Paul was struggling, but then Dawn shouts, "Remember the battle with Ash and Pikachu, try and use that technique!" Paul then realizes a flash back of the event, and then applies it to the battle. "Fly up and dive down using Thunderbolt!" shouts Dahlia. Zapdos flies up and spins down while using Thunderbolt, but then Paul commands, "Froslass use Hail." Froslass cries and uses Hail, which makes it hide itself while Zapdos charges right down on the ground.

"What, where is that chump?" asks Dahlia. Zapdos was confuse then fires it with Thunderbolt, but it didn't work. "Froslass, Ice Beam, go!" shouts Paul. Froslass fires an Ice Beam which hits Zapdos. "Good now use Ice Shard," Paul commands again. Froslass fires an Ice Shard and it hits Zapdos again.

"I'll stop this madness, Heat Wave!" Dahlia shouts. Zapdos flies up and fires Heat Wave, but it didn't do a lot of damage due to the hailstorm. The Heat Wave took a little damage to Froslass, but it was still able to hide itself. "Heat Wave to the max Zapdos!" shout Dahlia. Zapdos spins around using Heat Wave, but the hail storm still rages.

"You want a finale, I'll give you one, Froslass, full power Blizzard!" commands Paul. Froslass then targets Zapdos and uses Blizzard. "Zapdos use Protect!" commands Dahlia. Zapdos uses protect, but the Blizzard and the hailstorm combination is so overwhelming, it destroys Zapdos's Protect, causing it to take a direct hit.

A whirlwind of Blizzard and the hailstorm surrounds Zapdos ad it eventually falls down to the ground. The hailstorm finally ends and Zapdos is knocked out while frozen. "Zapdos is unable to battle, the winner is Froslass and Paul," shouts the Referee. Dawn runs to Paul and hugs him, "You did it Paul! You defeated Dahlia!"

Paul blushes and said, "Thanks, you cheered me from beginning to end."

"What a fun battle, you got some skills man," said Dahlia.

Paul then said, "You're the very first Frontier Brain I have fought, and now I understand that each of them are unique."

"You're right big man, and for your reward is a Frontier Print," said Dahlia. She then gives Paul the Frontier Print covered in shiny yellow. "This is something we knew Frontier Brain have. There is 4 other Frontier Brain in Sinnoh or Johto that has the same thing."

Paul stares at it and smiles. He then shakes her hand and said, "Thank you, I've learn a lot from this battle."

Dahlia then asks Paul, "Now, come and dance to the beat yeah?" Dahlia then brings out her maracas and starts dancing.

"No thanks," said Paul in a nervous voice. "Okay then, here's a present for your girlfriend, a maraca Claydol maraca made in Hoenn!"

"Again she's not my girlfriend," said Paul.

Dawn takes it and said, "Thanks for the souvenir Dahlia!"

"No problem, you sure you can't dance?" asks Dahlia.

Dawn scratches her cheeks with one of her fingers and said, "Thanks but I think I'll pass."

"Okay I understand, well goodbye young ones!" shouts Dalia.

"Bye!" shouts both Dawn and Paul. They left the Battle Arcade and walk together.

Dawn saids, "You and Froslass were amazing there, and that was a contest move as well."

"I took advantage of Froslass's ability, so I didn't put that much effort," said Paul.

"Yeah but you strategize it, and it's something I need to learn on my next upcoming concert, taking advantage of a Pokemon's ability," said Dawn.

Paul then said, "I guess I did help you a little. You should thank me."

Dawn then hugs Paul and said, "Thanks Paul, I believe that someday, you and I will be on the top, don't you think so?" Paul looks away and said, "You're too optimistic sometimes."

Dawn giggles and said, "Well I still have time before I'm heading back to Twinleaf Town. There's a place where I want to go to, come on follow me!"

"You're dragging me again?" asks Paul.

Dawn replies, "Yes Paul, there's something I want to give you for defeating Dahlia." Dawn then smiles at Paul and starts walking. She thinks to herself, "Paul, I need to confess about you."
