DIsclaimer: I have now disclaimed.
(Paul's POV)
Everything got kinda awkward after Cyrus spoke up...
Dawn and I were just...glaring at him. I couldn't stop glaring, either. That man had taken a lot from me. My pokemon, the past week or so of my life, training time...
He almost took the life of the blue-haired girl in front of me.
...But, but I mean, it's not like I cared about her! She wasn't one of those things I cared about...right?
Cyrus interrupted my thoughts by speaking again, "Now, Paul. I need you to please come up here with the young lady and just...stand by Ash." He comleted he statement with a wave of his hand.
I clenched my fists by my side and strided to Ash's side, quickly leaving Dawn behind. She reached us much slower.
I spaced out as Cyrus walked by, handing each of us an odd medallion. The were all blank, but were different shapes. Lame shapes, might I mention. Mine was a triangle, Ash's was a square, and Dawn's was...well actually, her's was a star.
Cyrus was mumbling some words when suddenly I heard him yell, "Lords of the Dimensions! Here me now! Dialga and Palkia, I call you! By the power of the great Arceus and the three elements, come to me!"
Three elements? I went over it in my head. Obviously Ash is fire. Dawn must be...uhh, maybe storm, or something. But me? What am I?
Cyrus began walking past us, starting with Ash. He paused and turned to him, still speaking loudly. Ash held up his medallion and Cyrus pointed a pitch-black stone at it and spoke.
"By the power of Fire, I call you, Dialga!" A bright light flashed and a picture of a fireball had been embedded into the gold of the medallion.
Cyrus moved on to Dawn, who stood with her head held high, determined to not be afraid.
"By the power of Storm, I call you, Palkia!" Another bright flash, and a thunderstorm scene had been embedded into Dawn's medallion. She stared at it in awe.
Cyrus moved on to me, and I could see him smile in triumph as he saw my comfusion. He knew I had no idea what 'element' I was. "And now..." he started.
"By the power of the Shadows, Giratina, I CALL YOU!" I stared in complete shock as my medallion turned pitch-black as the stone pointed at it. I could see faint traces of embedding in it, so there was obviously a picture in the darkness of the medal.
Shadows, huh? That's...that's a letdown, actually... I thought slowly.
Clouds began swirling above us. It was all so cliché, I almost puked.
A sudden roar from above brought me out of my thoughts. I snapped my head up to see the clouds begin to swirl faster.
The sky had a blue-ish glow as the clouds parted. I heard Dawn breathe in sharply as a giant Pokémon made its way through the clouds.
Everyone watched in awe, including myself, as the blue and white Pokémon roared feircly and landed gracefully on a platform behind us.
Dialga had been summoned.
Not soon after, I looked back to the sky as the clouds came together and gave off a pink glow. Another roar shattered my ear drums as a pink and white Pokémon dove through the swirl above us and landed quickly on the platform next to Dialga. Although, this Pokémon seemed to stand on two feet instead of four.
Palkia had been summoned.
Briefly, I thought of the people down below that might be looking up and wondering what was happening, until everything suddenly became darker.
Dialga and Palkia roared together, and I was surprised I didn't go deaf. Everything became colder as one final Pokémon made its way down from the clouds above.
I felt my medallion give a small tug upwards, as if it ached to be with the arriving legendary. I gripped it tighter as Giratina hovered above us all.
The ground shook. I felt Dawn grab my arm and almost smirked.
A black hole began forming on the ground. I looked at Dialga and Palkia and saw Palkia staring back at me...or maybe at the girl latched onto my arm. I couldn't tell.
"Paul..." Dawn spoke in my ear so that I could hear her over the screechings of the Pokémon, "Wh-what is that?"
I frowned. "How am I supposed to know!" I snapped at her, immediately regretting it as she looked hurt and let go of my arm. "Dawn..." I sighed.
The black hole soon grew to the size of Giratina, and it swooped quickly into it, changing forms as it went.
Cyrus made a signal to Ash and they both jumped in after Giratina. Dawn ran in after Ash, and I ran in after her.
"ASH!" Dawn screamed.
"DAWN!" I screamed.
Everything happened quickly after that. I mean, the next thing I knew, I was sitting upside down.
(Dawn's POV)
I sat up, head reeling, and looked around.
The first thing I noticed was that my hair was standing horizontally. All of it was to the left of my head, and just standing straight out... Weird.
I turned my head to see if my hair would turn with it, but instead I got a facefull of hair.
I spit my hair out quickly and called out cautiously. "Hello? Anyone...Is anybody here?" It felt like my voice was being muffled before it could get far.
I stood up, and this time my hair went with me. I looked to the side and found that there was a floating rock right beside me. I then realized, I was standing sideways!
Cautiously, I scooted to the edge of the floating rock I was on to reach the other one. I leaped away from mine, turning myself vertical. I landed with an oomph.
I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and whipped my head around, only to see a black fog covering what lie beyond. I squinted, trying to distinguish something.
Nope. Nothing was there. Just the ever-extending black fog.
I huffed in frustration. Why couldn't this be easy? Everything had to be so complicated all the time!
Kyaaaaaaaa!
I let out a screech of my own as a giant pinkish-white thing flew at me.
As I vaulted myself to the side, two things hit me. Not literally! I just realized them.
One, the thing flying at me hade been Palkia.
Two, I had just jumped off the side of the floating rock.
As I fell slowly, oh so slowly into the nothingness of nowhere, I saw Palkia go right by, screeching.
Kyaaaaaaaa!
"Hey! Help me!" I yelled at it. Of course, it didn't listen to me.
"Dawn!" I heard a voice call. Turning my head, my heart lifted to see Paul, standing on a small rock below me. He pushed it out into the void, teetering a little, but looked determined.
Catching me, Paul drew me into his arms. I blushed, but hugged him back. "Dawn..." He mumbled, "You really need to stop getting into trouble like that..."
Pulling away, I laughed nervously, averting my eyes. "Uhh...sorry?" I blushed more as he sighed and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look him in the eye.
"Dawn...I need to tell you something."
(Paul's POV)
There she was. Looking into my eyes, confused. Waiting.
I almost panicked. Why did I tell her that! Why did I say it that way! All I'm trying to do is get this weight off my chest from how I feel about her. I keep denying it to myself, but...
I really do care about Dawn. I care about her a lot more than I think I do. And I need to embrace that.
She was still staring at me, and I was still staring at her. Blue eyes met black.
I don't know what happened, but I was suddenly leaning forward. Her eyes widened, then closed, and she began leaning, too.
Our lips were inches away from eachother, when...
She suddenly lurched forward and pulled me into the kiss.
(Cyrus's POV)
I...I had found it. My New World! It was perfect. No polluting humans, no annoying Pokemon. Except, of course, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. But they didn't matter to me, as long as they stayed out of my way.
I quickly learned how the gravity worked, strolling around with ease. "My world! It's PERFECT!" I yelled, not caring who heard.
A little ways more and I saw something. It...looked like people. I shrugged, heading towards it, thinking it was Ash. What I saw though was two people. Dawn and Paul. And...they were kissing.
I almost wanted to laugh at their petty emotions. They were so below me! Love? That doesn't exist to me. Not anymore, at least.
Smirking and shaking my head, I stood a few feet away from the couple and coughed, smirking wider as they broke apart, faces red.
"Oh! I'm sorry~ Did I interrupt something?"
The purple headed boy scowled at me. "You asshole! How do we get out of here!" Aw, the blush was fading...
I shrugged, "I don't know. Why would I want to? I like it here."
"What! There's nothing here!" The blue headed girl intervened.
"That just how I like it." I grinned, "Nice and quiet. And empty. Just me. Ruling over everything."
"Food, you idiot. And water. And who will you rule over!" Damn plum-boy was defying me.
"Shut up!" I snapped, "It'll all get figured out! Until then, get out of my world!"
The boy scoffed, "And how do we do that? I recall asking you this already."
"..." I turned and almost walked away, to prevent myself from strangling them, but something caught my eye. The other boy. Ash.
Smirking, I called him over. "Oh, Ash! Boy! Come here and see your old friends."
It was quite amusing, the looks on the two kids' faces. They were scared.
(Ash's POV)
I was trapped. In nothing. With no one.
Alone...
There was a pressure building, threatening to crush me.
I kept thinking of those that I loved...I just wish I could have said goodbye.
What? What was that?
I heard something! Everything flashed.
"Oh, Ash! ...here and...friends." Friends? ...Friends...Dawn...Friend. Wait, friend? Why did the term make me feel...sad? No...maybe anger is what I felt...Hm.
I felt movement. I was walking? More flashes. I could...see things around me!
Dawn...Paul...friends...
I didn't know what was happening...but maybe, just maybe, I was breaking free of this trance.
