Me- Hello peoples! I'm so happy cause I got 32 reviews and I'm only on chapter seven! Thanks! :)

Ash- Yay! I'm still happy that I'm finally here.

Me- * rolls eyes * Of course you would be...

Iris- I already know what my first plan will be.

Cilan- Does her plans work?

Me- You'll find out...once you read the chapter! But, first- - -

Dawn- Eyes for Colt only does not own Pokemon!

Me- * sweat drops * Well...that was quick.

Dawn- I just want to get on with the story. Besides, you talk too much.

Me- * vein pops * WHAT?

Ash- ...

Dawn- ...

Iris- ...

Cilan- Um...here are the replies to the reviews, the last two sentences, and the summary of what happened last time?

JuanR.33: I know, won't they be just wacky? Iris will do anything to get Dawn away from Ash. Virtual pie!

PokemonFreak90: Yeah...Dawn will have to choose only one out of the many boys she's fallen for and all. Virtual pie for you! :)

IrresistableAshGirl: How am I being vague?

IrresistableAshGirl: I know, I know, I know. I corrected that already. Well, for the starters...I can't explain. Sorry. :(

IrresistableAshGirl: I'm not really into punk and stuff like that, but they just come into my head when I think of ideas for clothing.

IrresistableAshGirl: Well...the answer to that will come soon. You could be right, you know.

IrresistableAshGirl: Iris will not win in the end, but you'll see. Maybe she will...And, you also get a virtual pie! :D

A-Gallade: Okay. Pie for you!

Numbuh 006: From Coordinator To Trainer? Hm...I'll think about it. Virtual pie for you! :)

Ama Sohma Mashiro Fujisaki: Okay, I'll tell him right now. Virtual pie!

Me- Cilan!

Cilan- What? * pouts *

Me- Ama Sohma Mashiro Fujisaki wanted to tell you that you should stop Iris.

Cilan- ...Huh?

Me- * slaps forehead * Never mind.

Last two sentences:

Dawn's POV

As I continued to rant on about the qualities that stood out about Ash, Iris began to ponder.

" She likes him, as well? Now, what am I going to do to get those two apart?" Iris asked herself as she went back to continuing to half listen to me.

Summary of what happened last time: Dawn and Ryu split ways after Dawn wins her first badge successfully and begins to head on over to Nacrene City. On the way there, a mechanical claw snatches Piplup and Dawn runs after the claw. She then realizes that this work belongs to none other than Team Rocket as they try to capture her. Then, a guy that was about her age swoops in and saves the day. This savior is none other than Ash, the guy that Dawn traveled with in Sinnoh and her crush. Iris gets jealous, however, and plans on getting Ash for herself and putting Dawn on the sidelines. Will Iris' plans succeed? Will they go wrong? Will Cilan stop her? And will this be a safe journey for Dawn?

Me- And enjoy!

Dawn's POV

We arrived at a spot in the forest and Cilan began to make dinner for everyone. Iris said that she was gonna wander around in the forest and Ash was tending to my wounds.

" So, why are you here, Dawn?" Ash asked.

" I'm here to enter the league." I stated.

Ash stopped putting the antidote on my cheek ( I was blushing while he did that ) and looked at me, shocked.

" But...I thought you were- - -" Ash was at a loss for words for the moment, so I took over.

" Barry convinced me. Barry called me weak and then that hit the boiling point for me. So, I deiced to prove to Barry that I'm not as weak as he thought I was and come home as League Champion." I explained.

" And, did you get a badge?" he asked.

I took my badge case from my bag, popped open the case and showed him my Trio Badge.

Ash looked at it in awe.

" Whoa...you won your with ease." Ash breathed.

Iris came back with a few berries and began to nibble on them.

" Guys! Time to eat!" Cilan called out.

Ash put a band aid on my elbow and helped me up.

" Wait until you taste Cilan's cooking. It's so good...!" Ash exclaimed with glee as he led me to the table.

Me and Ash sat on one side and Iris and Cilan sat on the other.

Cilan's Pokemon, a Pansage, brought four plates over to the table and rested it in front of us.

" Wow...! It's spaghetti!" I exclaimed as I stuffed a forkful into my mouth.

Then, I recognized the taste as a flashback played in my head.

~ Flashback ~

Dawn was seated across from Ryu and Sabrina at the Striaton Restaurant.

" What do you want? I'm having ramen." Sabrina asked.

" I think I'll be trying the spaghetti." she said, pointing it out on Sabrina's menu.

" Oh..." she trailed off.

" I'm having stew." Ryu declared.

The waiter came and took their orders.

Forty five minutes later, the food came and everyone dug into the food.

" Mmmm...! This is so good! I like how they used the sage and the chives in it. Yum!" Dawn exclaimed as she swallowed her forkful of spaghetti.

~ End of Flashback ~

" I've tasted this before!" I suddenly exclaimed.

Cilan put down his fork.

" You have...?" he asked.

" Yeah. When I was in Striaton City, me, Ryu, and Sabrina went to this restaurant and they had this delicious spaghetti there. It tastes exactly like it!" I exclaimed.

Ash's ears perked up.

" Who's Ryu and Sabrina?" Ash asked.

" Oh, did Dawn not tell you?" Iris asked in shock.

" They were her old traveling companions." Cilan explained.

Ash pouted.

" How come I just knew that and you guys already know?" Ash whined.

I stuffed a forkful of pasta into his mouth so that he could shut up.

The fork was hanging from his mouth.

" Good thing that the fork was plastic." I thought.

" Cause you were too busy prancing like a Deerling." Iris said sarcastically.

I snorted and continued to eat.

After a few minutes, Cilan was clearing the table while Iris was up in a tree, looking up at the stars.

Me and Ash were putting up the tents and placing the sleeping bags on the ground.

" Dawn?" Ash asked.

" Yeah?" I asked as I laid down my sleeping bag.

" Can we talk?" he asked.

" Um...sure?" I said uncertainly.

Ash took my hand and we walked into the forest.

~ In the forest ~

" So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked.

Ash twiddled with his thumbs.

" Well...you see...what will happen once tomorrow rolls around?" he asked suddenly.

I began to ponder on that.

" Dunno...I haven't even thought of that..." I trailed off.

There was moment of silence before I began to speak again.

" Wait...I think I know what you're trying to say..." I trailed off once again.

" Fine. You got me. I wanted to ask you if you would like to travel with me again." Ash said.

I stared at him, silence filling the atmosphere.

" I knew it! He did want to ask me to travel with him again! But, what should I do? Should I accept?" I asked myself.

I finally broke the silence.

" Sure, Ash. It would be nice to travel with someone that will protect me." I said.

Ash smiled his signature goofy smile.

" Sure! Let's make this journey be the best one we've ever had!" Ash said before raising his hand.

I returned the favor and gave him a high five.

~ Meanwhile ~

Iris scowled at the scene before her.

" Why can't she stay away from my Ash? Just because you love him, doesn't mean I won't sit and watch you two get married and all that blah blah crap." Iris thought to herself. ( A/N: If you're wondering, I don't know why Iris was thinking of plans for the future and all that. You can ask her that, though. )

~ While everyone's asleep ~

Iris got up and wandered off into a path in the forest, the path that the gang will be taking in order to reach Nacrene City.

" Axew! Come on out and use Dig!" Iris called out as she threw her Pokeball into the air.

Axew came out of its Pokeball and began to dig a hole.

Iris was pleased with herself and covered a camouflage blanket over the hole.

She smirked.

" Heh. Dawn won't even know what hit her." Iris said with a devilish smile on her face.

~ The next day ~

" Guys! Let's hit the road!" Cilan declared as he slung a backpack over his shoulder.

We all nodded and began on our trek to Nacrene City.

Me and Ash began to talk about what had happened when we had parted ways and Cilan was whistling a happy tune to himself.

Iris walked behind Cilan.

" Why is Iris so quiet? It's starting to bug me." I groaned as Ash began to talk about food.

Cilan's POV

I whistled my favorite song as I followed Ash and Dawn.

What I didn't know was that there was a hole just waiting for someone to fall into.

I stepped on the ground and the ground gave way, making me tumble down into a deep hole.

" Hey! Who did this?" I yelled.

Iris peeked her head through the hole and had an expression of shock on her face.

" Oh my god! Are you alright?" she asked.

" Yes, but can you please get me out of this hole?" I whined.

Me- How do you like it? I fell sorry for Cilan...

Cilan- Why did I fall into a hole?

Ash- * looks over Eyes for Colt only's notes * What? In chapter 21, Dawn and Paul have a make out session in the Pokemon Center pool?

Dawn- * looks over Ash's shoulder * WHAT?

Iris- Mwahahahaha! This will totally get interesting...!

Cilan- * groans * Not again...

Me- R&R, please! If you do, you get a virtual pie! =)

* P.S.- Since many people said that the title should stay the same, I've decided to keep the title the same.
