Disclaimer: Even if I go back into time before Pokemon was created, I still can't own Pokemon.
After being threaten with mind powers, Red Wall books, and armies of Teletubbies and Barneys, I, JapanDreamer, decided to update for sake of staying alive. (lol)
I want to let you know that I'm going on vacation next week. SOOOO updates are limited for the next two weeks. That's why I'm posting this up early. (Now I need to find a way to stay alive through this.)
Thank you all for reviewing. Really I think this a new record. Three chapters and 27 reviews. O.O
Okay enjoy!
Time Travel Chapter 2:
"Do be careful, Damion," Dawn warned as they went through the field. Up ahead was the forest that the lake was in. "We don't have Pokemon to defend ourselves if wild Pokemon attack us."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Damion said, rolling his eyes. Dawn could be such a worrywart sometimes. Nevertheless, he walked a little bit slower and more cautious. He stopped when they were just outside the forest's boundary.
"Well Dawn, this is it! We're about to embark on a discovery beyond our wildest dreams! On a journey to the great unknown. Also known as-"
"Could you please just hurry up and get in there Damion Pearl?" Dawn demanded. Without waiting for an answer, Dawn knocked Damion aside and stomped through the forest.
"Hey! Wait up! I'm the leader of this group! Besides, I just wanted to make it more dramatic!" Damion hurried towards Dawn, who was looking at him with annoyance.
"Yeah, well, it's perfect," Dawn said sarcastically, "With your long annoying introduction, you have the chance to become a news reporter." Damion glared at Dawn. Dawn detested television because most of the stuff on television was (supposedly) lies, or just "utter nonsense". Calling Damion a potential news reporter was one of the hugest insults that she had for him.
"Alright, I'm sorry," Damion mumbled. Dawn was about to apologize as well for her rude behavior like she was taught, but she noticed two men walking down the road they were on just up ahead. When she got closer, she froze with mortifying fear when she recognized the faces.
"Daimon!" Dawn hissed, "Get off of the road." Before Damion could even object, Dawn pushed her friend into a bush and she, herself, hid behind it. She put her hand to over Damion's mouth and put her other hand to her lips. As the footsteps got closer, she started to shake with fear.
Please don't let him find me here. Please, please, please...
...
"Professor Rowan? Something the matter?" the younger of the two men asked. The older man, about fifty years old, looked at the side of the road as if he saw something suspicious, hiding. He shook his head after a while.
Professor Rowan, being fifty years old, had white hair and a moustache. He wore a long brown trench coat over his blue vest. He wore a white long sleeve collared shirt under his vest and a long dark brown tie. He had on black pants and brown loafers. He was a loner, who didn't like to talk a lot and always looked very serious no matter what.
"Nothing, Berlitz. It was probably a wild Pokemon," Rowan said dissmissively. He continued down the path, with John Berlitz, Dawn's father.
John Berlitz was the total opposite of Professor Rowan. John was around thirty years old, but he looked like he was twenty. He had on a pair of glasses and his short black hair looked like it hasn't been brushed for days no matter how hard he tried to straighten it. Despite his tired eyes, John smiled as if it naturally came to him. He wore a white lab coat with a sandy coloured long sleeve and brown pants. He wore white tennis shoes, which he preferred more because he spent more time outside researching than inside.
"Berlitz, your daughter will be coming to the lab to get her first Pokemon soon, right?" Rowan asked to be sure. John nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, she and her friend Damion. They'll come by tomorrow first thing in the morning." Rowan nodded. He sighed as he looked up into the sky. It's been a while since he came back from Sinnoh. There were more people living here, so studying in peace like before was limited.
"Have you gotten all of the data into the laptop?" Rowan asked again.
"Yes Professor. I have all of the files in the bag," John patted his briefcase that he was carrying, "But still, it was strange to see such a weird light from the lake today." Rowan nodded in agreement. This morning, Rowan saw through his lab window a bright flash of light that seemed to be where Lake Verity was. Because it was really early in the morning, nobody really noticed it or if they did, they didn't care. Rowan and John decided to investigate at the lake, only to find nothing out of place. The lake was as still as ever and a fine mist from yesterday's night light drizzle covered the lake like a white blanket. Nevertheless, Rowan and John decided to gather some data that might explain the mysterious light.
"Let's get back to the lab. Maybe we can find something." John nodded in agreement and the two men left the forest.
...
"Is he gone yet?" Damion whispered. His hair was now covered with twigs and leaves, thanks went to Dawn. He had a few scratches from the branches of the bush, but he didn't notice it.
He was completely relived that Professor Rowan and Dawn's dad missed them completely although Rowan was looking at the bush they were hiding in with suspicion. Although he didn't want to admit it, Rowan scared him a lot. Maybe it was his distant looking face, but whatever it was, Damion feared the man. Mr. Berlitz was probably even scarier when he got mad. Damion thanked every Pokemon he could think of for letting them get away easily.
"Yeah they left," Dawn whispered. She got out of the bush, pulling out stray leaves from her clothes and hat. "Thank goodness they didn't find us. Father would've grounded me for a month and wouldn't allow me to start on my Pokemon journey tomorrow." Damion nodded as he, unsuccessfully, got out some of the leaves from his hair and clothes. "Should we head back?"
"What are you crazy?" Damion asked like Dawn was insane, "That red Gyarados has got to be in there! We just need to find it!"
"My father," Dawn said, looking at Damion as if he was stupid, "and Professor Rowan just came from the lake."
"So?"
"SO, it means that if there was a red Gyarados, they would've found it before us." Damion frowned immediately. Why did he have to have a smart friend that had to ruin all of his plans?
"Look, pretend to be dumb for me and let's just go and investigate. Who knows?" Damion grinned, "We might find something that they missed."
"Are you insulting me and my intelligence?!" Dawn yelled, but before she could do anything to Damion, he was already running down the path to the lake.
Dawn made a mental note to murder Damien after all of this was through. Muttering slightly, she rushed after her friend.
...
"Whoo! So this is what Lake Verity looked like!" Damion said, as he looked at the enormous lake. This was the first time that Damion and Dawn came to the lake.
The mist had started to lift as the sunlight broke through the large trees. The lake was crystal clear that you can even see the bottom. In the middle of the lake was a small island, but because the lake was so big, Damion couldn't really tell what was on the land. "Alright, let's split up! Dawn you go that way," Damion pointed to the right side, "and I'll go this way." Damion pointed to the left. Before Dawn could say anything, Damion was already off to investigate.
"Don't stray off too far!" Dawn yelled, but Damion acted as though as he didn't hear anything. She sighed as she walked down along the bank. She stared at the shallow water, looking at her reflection.
Then feeling mischievous, she took off her boots and stockings and waded through the shallow water. The cool water felt pleasant to her feet and she considered wading even further down the lake. It would have been so nice to do this, but she would probably get punished by Sebastian, her personal butler, if he knew and probably scolded her saying that she could've caught a cold. Suddenly, she noticed a large brown object on the side of the lake. Feeling curious, she waded out of the water and climbed up the bank. She realized immediately what it was.
It was Rowan's briefcase.
He must've accidentally left it here when he came by, Dawn thought. Her first thought was to return the briefcase back to the professor, but if she did give it back, he would have undoubtedly asked her about how she got it in the first place. That was something that she didn't want to answer. Feeling uneasy, she decided to hold on to the briefcase and secretly leave it somewhere where Professor Rowan can get it back. She put back on her stockings and boots and grabbed the briefcase. Then she continued to explore the lake.
Whooo...
Dawn froze. What was that sound? She turned around, but found nothing behind her. She decided that it must have been the wind and continued on.
Whooo...
There it was again. She looked around again, but still didn't find anything. Then, when she was about to freak out, she saw the creature that was making the noise floating just over the lake. She couldn't see it very well. It was like a shadowy image, but made out of water, distorting what was behind it. It was a very small creature, that had four long strand of hair, two on each side of its head. It had two long thin tails that fluttered around like small fans.
What is that thing? Dawn wondered. The creature came closer to Dawn, not close enough for contact but close enough so that Dawn knew that it was looking at her. The creature made a cooing sound and flew toward along the lake and toward the bank just across from Dawn. Feeling curious, she hurried around the lake, but when she got to where the creature had run off to, it disappeared.
That was strange, Dawn thought as she clutched tightly onto the briefcase. She walked around the bank while looking at the lake in hopes of seeing the creature again.
Thump.
Dawn flailed her arms madly to try and keep balance. When she finally managed to grab a tree to steady herself, she looked down to see what she hit. Dawn almost collapsed in shock.
Lying unconscious on the ground was a boy.
Author's Notes
Another suspense. lol. I'm good at doing that. Okay remember I'm having a vacation next week. So enjoy whatever you guys are doing and I'll see you when I come back. (I'll probably be running from mind powers and armies for the rest of my vacation...)
Okay, thanking reviewers now!
...
the shadow of hell
yeah, the ceremony was BORING. About 300 people, or at least it felt like it, graduated and the whole thing lasted for two hours. And what did I do? sat there and secretly ate snacks since I was hungry.
I agree with you about the red Gyarados. Why even mention it if you can't catch it? (Reason why I made Dawn hate T.V.) Well I'm just going with the game, since it was the only idea I could think of that would convince Dawn and Damion to go over to the lake and make Damion sound like an idiot (to a certain degree).
thanks for the review. Rewritten will be posted probably this Friday.
Jarkes
Thanks for reviewing! I'll have the other chapters ready at least by Friday... If my editor fix it by then.
Lady of the DarkFire
Yeah, I think Lady Berlitz's name is Platinum as well. I saw the new outfits for the two main characters in the Platinum version game. Lucas looks a lot weirder now in my opinion (his outfit at least).
Hope your computer is okay though after reading that I'm not going to update for a while and its a suspense... you're probably going to throw a dictionary at it... lol.
SportyGurl1997
Hey! Thanks for the review! Have fun in the Phillipinesse (that is if you haven't gone yet...) I really want to go there. Well, actually, I really want to see the whole world, but that's probably not going to happen...
Hikari is the Japanese name for Dawn in the anime. They haven't given the "Dawn" in the manga a first name yet, but its probably going to be Platinum. Check serbii for more info.
Beautiful Loner
Hey! you change your name again! I like it! Very original and pretty in my opinion. Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you like it. I'll see ya next time!
Brenediction

grammaguy
haha, mind powers are hard to use. Besides if you kill me, there will be no more updates. XP
take your time in updating but if you don't finish by this week (Friday at the latest please) I won't be able to post it up for others to read. Thanks for editing for me!
Amethyst-chan (I get tired writing long names, sorry!)
Since I don't like Teletubbies and Barneys, I'll update. (I only like Seseme Street) If you haven't noticed yet, I usually update once a week, but for this story only once every two weeks. Check out my other stories if you have time. I would love your feedback. Thanks!
Reita
I'm glad we got things straighten out! thanks for reviewing; it means a lot to me.
fatal whisper

...
Okay thank you all for reviewing, and may the forces be with you (lol sorry I feel like saying that after I heard that Star Wars: The Clones War movie is coming out; I'm not a Star Wars fan but I love saying that line.)
