Me:(singing) I don't care what you think as long as it's abo-

Paul: Shut up. you know you can't sing.

Me: why are you here?

Paul: I don't know (walks off)

Me: Damn he could've done the disclaimer. (sighs) I do not own pokemon and never will

Paul was numb. He had the ability to act all cold and take away anyone's happy emotions with one glance. To him it was a gift. Why should everyone be happy? They could be training their pokemon not having fun. To him fun was pointless. All he cared about was winning the Sinnoh league.

Dawn however wasn't numb. In fact she was the total opposite. She had the ability to make people happy whenever she walked into the room. Well when she was happy she could make people happy.

However when Paul and Dawn were in the same room Dawn felt all her emotions drain away from her whenever she looked at his emotionless face. Until he insulted her and all she felt was anger. Despite all of this she still liked seeing Paul though she didn't show it.

Whenever Paul saw Dawn he actually did feel a spark of happiness. Though he never showed it, he did like seeing the troublesome girl, as he called her.

Paul walked through the streets of Veilstone city. Well he was walking until his fan girls spotted him. Then he was running and he couldn't send out any of his pokemon because they were all in the pokemon centre.

"Hey Paul." Dawn waved at him as he stopped in front of her. She was blocking his way that led to his hiding place. There were so many people that he couldn't go round Dawn. He looked behind him and saw that his fan girls were only yards away.

"move Troublesome." he growled. She didn't budge. He sighed and grabbed her wrist and dragged her along with him.

"Hey! Paul let go of me."

"Not until I get rid of the fan girls." he did a sharp turn and almost yanked Dawn's arm off in the process.

Within minutes they were in the park and Paul sprinted to the huge oak tree that was placed in the of a whole bunch of trees.

He let go of Dawn's wrist and climbed the branches till he reached the top.

"Climb up. The fan girls will recognize you." he said. Dawn nodded her head and slowly climbed up the branches to the top of the tree.

"Hurry up." He snarled. She eventually reached the top as the fan girls ran by. Then, there was a few minutes of awkward silence.

"How come you're so numb?" Paul looked at Dawn.

"I'm what?"

"Numb. You know, emotionless."

"At least I'm not happy all the time."

"Hey! I do feel other emotions as well."

"Like?"

"Anger, mostly towards you."

"Do you feel angry now?"

"Not really." Paul then grabbed her face and kissed her full on the lips for about five seconds.

"What was that for?"

"to see you angry."

"Why?"

"Seeing you angry makes me happy." Paul then jumped out the tree and walked away, leaving Dawn to stare at him, dumbfounded.

Paul smiled as he walked away. He liked that kiss.

Numbness can wear off. He thought.
