Special #1

It was the day after Dawn's Gym battle with Maylene, the Veilstone City Gym Leader, that Dawn decided that she wanted to look around the city.

"This day is all about me. Since the city is right on the water, I can finally surf. There's also a gym with archery and a fighting room. Today is going to be awesome!" Dawn yelled. What a lot of you don't know is that Dawn is a trained archer, fighter, and surfer.

Dawn first headed to the gym for some fighting practice. She put her hair back in a braid with her back yellow at the end of the braid to hold it in place. She wore a white tank top with sweat shorts and sneakers. She of course wore the chocker that P.J. gave her. When she walked into the gym, she noticed that she was the only girl there. When she got to an unused handing punching bag, she wrapped bandage around her knuckles to prevent bleed when she punched the bags.

"What is she doing here?" One guy questioned.

"She doesn't belong here. Girls can't fight." The other guy stated. Dawn ignored all of the comments and started walking towards the bag. She started punching and kicking the bag like there was no tomorrow. After about 10 minutes, Dawn felt an aura come up behind her, so she turned around and threw a punch to their face. Before her fist came in contact with the person's face, they put their hand in front of Dawn's and blocked the punch. The person lowered his and Dawn's hand to reveal their face.

"Oh great. It's you." Paul said as he looked at Dawn.

"Not too excited to see you either. Now if you'll excuse me I have a bag to pulverize." Dawn replied as she turned around and started to punch the bag again.

"She never gives up. It gets annoying." Paul thought

Paul took the hand that Dawn was about to punch with next and stopped it.

"What was that for?!" Dawn yelled as she spun around.

"That's my bag I use it." Paul answered. Dawn then noticed that he hand a bag full of gear and a roll of bandages.

"Really, cause I don't see your name on it." Dawn replied as she looked around the bag. "Whatever I was going to shoot now anyways. Later." Dawn walked out of the room towards the archery range.

"She is just a troublesome as always." Paul said to himself.

"Paul is such a jerk. Alright relax. Today is all about me. I wouldn't let Paul ruin that." Dawn thought

Dawn walked outside to see about 20 targets lined up in a row. The unused targets had a bow and 5 arrows next to it. There were only about 7 other people at the shooting range so it was her pick. She walked to the closest longbow and started to shoot at the targets. Her very first arrow went right in the bull's eye. Everyone was amazed to see Dawn get a bull's eye on her first arrow. Dawn continued to shoot her arrows for about another 30 minutes. On her last arrow of a set, she thought that it would be her best shot yet. Right before the arrow hit the target, another arrow pierced Dawn's and it was shot into the empty target next to hers. Dawn ran over to the empty target. She pulled out both arrows and stared at them in awe. Dawn looked at the arrow that went through Dawn's and looked around to see who could have done it. About 8 targets down Dawn noticed that Paul was also shooting a longbow.

"There's no way he could have done that. I'm the best archer in Twinleaf Town, ever since P.J. left, and I can't even do that!" Dawn thought.

Dawn then noticed how ripped Paul's arms were. He had never looked so calm to Dawn. She watched him shoot a few arrows. She noticed that when he pulled back on the bow he took a big breath and right when he let go he released the air trapped inside of him. For some odd reason Dawn began to blush. She grabbed the both of the arrows and pulled them out of each other. She grabbed the arrow that Paul shot and strung her bow. Dawn was about 15 yards away from were Paul was shooting. A few seconds later, Dawn released her arrow and landed right in the bull's eye range and prevented Paul's arrow to get a bull's eye. Paul looked over at Dawn who was still in a solid stance from her shooting the arrow.

"You're not the only marksman around here." Dawn stated as she walked up to Paul.

"I see that I'm not. However, I am the best archer, surfer, and fighter in this town. I'll beat you in anything." Paul stated.

"Is that a challenge?" Dawn questioned.

"Do you surf?" Paul replied.

"I live right next door to Sandgem Town. Of course I surf." Dawn answered.

"There's a surfing competition in 1 hour at the beach down the block from here. We'll see who's the best." Paul challenged. He walked out of the shooting range and disappeared.

"We'll see who that is indeed." Dawn thought. Dawn continued to shoot for about ½ an hour until she walked down to the beach. She saw a long line of surfers ready to compete. She also saw that all of the competitors were guys.

"Oh great. I'm the only girl here too." Dawn thought. Dawn got in line for the competition and signed up. She then went to get a board for the competition. She picked out a light blue board that faded into a dark midnight blue towards the bottom. At the top was a small Piplup body surfing on the waves. Finally she went into the bathroom to change into her swimsuit. Her swimsuit was a bikini with and orange line on the top of both pieces and the rest was yellow.

"Alright the 42nd annual surf off here in Veilstone City is about to get under way!" The announcer yelled.

"I don't see Paul anywhere. Too chicken to show up! He didn't want to be beaten by a girl like the rest of these guys are." Dawn thought.

"Now let's hear a word from the champion for 5 years in a row, Paul!" The announcer yelled. Paul walked up to the podium and started to speak.

"Everyone, I want to thank you for coming out today. The only thing to say is that this is all about having fun. So get out there and do your best." Paul stated. He walked off the podium and got to the end of the line.

"And I know you're all wondering what the prize is this year. The prize is the board you have in front of you that you rented and this awesome trophy!" The announcer yelled. "So let's get this surf off going! Surfers to your mark!" Everyone got up to the edge of the water and readied their boards. "On your mark, get set, go!" The announcer shot a pistol into the air and everyone ran into the water. The waves came at them hard.

"After the first wave 15 out of the 45 competitors are knocked over. It's not surprising that the 5 year champ is still going strong, but new comer Dawn may give him a run for his money." The announcer stated.

"No she won't." Paul stated as he started to go up a wave. The wave just started to curl and Paul was surfing the wave. He started moving up and down the wave and he started to ride to the top. He lifted off and did a 1080 spin.

"There it is folks! The famous 1080 spin! Only a champ can pull off that move! Let's see how the newbie fairs." The announcer stated.

"I'll give you all a run for your money." Dawn stated. She waited for about 5 minutes until she saw a huge wave come in. The rest of the surfers tried to surf the wave and failed.

"It looks like the only ones left in the competition is Dawn and Paul! And Dawn is going after the biggest wave in the competition! But Paul isn't far behind!" The announcer yelled. Paul managed to get right behind Dawn.

"Get your own wave! This one's mine!" Dawn yelled. She went further and further up the wave. She started to spin over the wave.

"That's impossible! Dawn just pulled off the legendary 1800! This move had never been pulled off in the history of Veilstone City surfing!" The announcer yelled.

"She finally pulled it off." Paul thought.

Dawn surfed down the wave just as it started to tube perfectly.

"This should get me big points!" Dawn thought. Dawn leaned back into the tube and started to calmly ride the wave. "This is amazing." Dawn pushed her hand into the roaring wave that surrounded her. The wave collapsed and Dawn swam back to shore.

"Hey where's Paul?" one of the surfer's questioned.

"I thought he was on the beach." Dawn stated with worry in her voice.

"Did her get pulled under by the wave?" Dawn thought.

"Hey what's that over there!" another surfer yelled as he pointed westward. Dawn ran over to see a surf board being pushed to shore by the currents.

"This is Paul's board." Dawn thought. Dawn looked out at the ocean and didn't see Paul. "This is really bad. I don't see Paul coming up." Dawn ran back out to the water with her board.

"Hey where are you going?!" The announcer yelled.

"To find Paul!" Dawn yelled she went further out to sea.

"Where did he go?" Dawn thought. She kneeled on her board and looked around. She noticed Paul floating unconscious. Dawn swam towards Paul and put him on her board. A shadow then covered Dawn and Paul. "Oh no!" The biggest wave Dawn had ever seen had just started to curl and hit Dawn and Paul and pushed them both under water. "I have to get Paul above water!" Dawn pushed Paul up to the surface just before she ran out of air. She managed to get Paul onto the shore and onto the sand.

"Does anyone know CPR?" Dawn yelled. The surfers all shook their heads no. "You are all surfers and none of you know CPR?" Dawn began to push against Paul's chest which was bare without a swim shirt. After 30 pushes, Paul wasn't waking up.

"I really don't want to do this." Dawn thought. Dawn pressed her lips against Paul's and tried to push air into his lungs. She did this for about 30 seconds. She pulled away. Paul's eyes opened slowly to see Dawn over him. He started to cough up the water he had swallowed and he sat up.

"What happened?" Paul questioned.

"Dude, you were knocked under and you weren't coming up and the newbie chick saved you!" a surfer stated as he handed Paul and Dawn towels. Paul shook the towel over his head to dry his head.

"Well I think I know who the winner should be this year." Paul stated as he stood up. He lowered his hand down to Dawn. Dawn took his hand and Paul pulled her up. "For pulling of what was thought to be the impossible 1800 and saving my life I declare that this year's surf contest winner is Dawn!" Paul held up her hand in victory and everyone started to cheer for Dawn.

"Dawn we would like to congratulate you with your board that you get to keep for free and the trophy." The announcer stated ash he handed Dawn the trophy. The trophy had a small surfer at the top and was held up with 4 small wooden pillars.

"Thank you so much!" Dawn stated. That night the surfers all gathered around a fire and started to sing songs and goof off.

"So it's tradition that the winner of the contest has to sing a solo. And the song is picked by the previous winner." A surfer stated.

"I can't sing. I stink." Dawn confessed.

"Well Paul here thought he stunk until he gave it a shot and now we can't get him to stop." A surfer stated as he threw his arm around Paul's shoulder.

"You sing?" Dawn questioned. Paul tried to hide his blush from the light in the fire.

"So what song is she gonna sing Paul?" the surfer next to Dawn questioned. Paul thought about this for a while

"There's a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me when I was little. Whenever I couldn't sleep my mother would sing it to me to put me to bed. I want her to sing that song." Paul explained.

"What's it called?" Dawn questioned.

"Beautiful Wish." Paul answered. Dawn gasped.

"I used to sing that song to P.J. and the others." Dawn thought.

"Do you know it?" A surfer questioned.

"I surprisingly do." Dawn answered.

"The story about my mother was true, but I wanted to hear Dawn sing it this time." Paul thought. Dawn took in a deep breath and began to sing.

After Dawn's singing, all of the surfers went home and Dawn went back to the pokemon center.

"Hey Dawn. What have you been doing all day?" Brock questioned as he and Ash were sitting on the beds waiting for Dawn to come back.

"Oh nothing much." Dawn replied.
