Last two sentences:
"Fine...don't come crying to me if she's not the one."
"Dawn is the one! I just know it! She'll be able to awaken Zekrom and Reshiram and then...I'll find out about the past and what my purpose in life is."
Summary of what happened last time: Dawn wakes up the next day to hitting poor Cilan in the head. Her Pokémon tease her and she gets mad at the them for one, teasing her, and two, waking her up. During breakfast, Iris introduces them to a love game quiz in the city and they decide to join, but Iris and Cilan refuse! They walk off angrily and Ash and Dawn decide to split up and talk to them. Ash and Dawn find out that Cilan and Iris had been having a meaningless relationship and the two form a plan: They drag the two of them to the love game quiz! The prize is 500 Pokedollars and they fight to the finish while as for Iris and Cilan, they don't help each other out, but can't help but look at each other from out of the corner of their eyes. The last challenge is a race and the two teams race to the finish! Just as Iris falls down a waterfall, Cilan catches her and the two reach the finish line and share a sweet kiss. This is when she realizes that she's apparently in love with Cilan. After, Ash and Dawn talk for a bit at the Ferris Wheel and when they come off, N sweeps Dawn off her feet and Drew talks to them, as well. They end up going back to the Pokémon Center soon after. What they don't know is that two mysterious people want Dawn for their own purposes! What will happen next? Will there REALLY be a lot of Paul bashing? And will be Dawn be confident enough to kick Elesa's butt?
Me-And read on!
Dawn's POV
"Race ya there!" Ash hollered as he raced out of the Pokémon Center.
I pouted while sticking my lower lip out.
"Ash...!" I complained as I raced after Ash with Piplup and Ash's Pikachu following from behind.
Iris laughed as she finished off her coffee. (A/N: Yes, Iris drinks coffee.)
"They will never stop! No matter how hard they try to mature, they will always remain little kids." Iris pointed out.
"True..." Cilan trailed off as he looked at her.
They stared into each other's eyes for a second before looking away, remembering what went on with them yesterday when they won that love game quiz.
"So..." Cilan trailed off.
"So..." Iris trailed off.
"How about I go clean up this mess and then we can do something. I heard that Ash and Dawn won't be finished with their training until late in the evening, so I was thinking of going to the Ferris Wheel. If you don't want to do that, then we can stop by the Musical place and watch a performance. Or! There is the- - -" Cilan cupped her face in his hands suddenly and crushed his lips to her own.
Her eyes were wide in surprise as she slowly kissed back.
They pulled away two minutes later and they looked away once again.
"I'll head back to my room." Cilan suggested.
"You go do that. I'll be going to see the musical." Iris stated as they both split ways.
"Pikachu! Go and use Thundertbolt!" Ash called out.
"Piplup! Counter that with Peck!" I commanded.
The attacks both collided and the two Pokemon jumped back while panting slightly.
Ash looked over at me and he smirked.
"Man...you're getting better and better as time goes by..." Ash trailed off, which made me laugh.
"Maybe I'm getting too better for your own good." I said teasingly.
That smug smirk disappeared from Ash's face for only a second as he knelt down to Pikachu's height and whispered something in his ear.
Pikachu's ears perked up and his eyes were wide as he listened to every word Ash told him.
"W-what?! You know Dawn will kill you that for later!" Pikachu hissed.
"Relax, buddy. I get my ass kicked by her everyday." Ash noted as he stood up and looked at me.
I arched up an eyebrow in confusion.
"Huh? Is something wrong, Ash?" I questioned.
"Oh, me?" Ash chuckled at this. "No, it's nothing." he continued to eye me.
"Um...Ash?" I questioned, wondering why he was staring at me like that.
"Come here." he said. Me and Piplup simply shrugged before I began to walk over to him.
"What is it now, Ash?" I questioned.
"However," he pulled me towards him so that our foreheads and noses were touching. "You are quite beautiful." he complimented in a husky voice.
My face was as red as ever and I prayed that the moment would last forever. But, it didn't.
Piplup groaned from on the ground and I gasped.
"Piplup!" I exclaimed as I looked down at him.
"Step number one! Never, and I mean never, let your opponent distract you." Ash said as Pikachu hopped onto his shoulder.
I picked up Piplup and looked at Ash, who was whistling without a care in the world.
"You idiot! How could you do such a- - -" Ash shoved a Pokeball into my hands. "Huh...? What is this?" I asked.
"I found this Pokeball all alone in the woods. I don't know what kind of Pokémon it is, but I'm sure that it would be suited for you." Ash explained.
I blushed furiously.
"It's so obvious, Dawn." Piplup pointed out bluntly.
"What's obvious, Piplup?" I questioned.
"He loves you." Piplup jeered, which made me pout.
"Piplup...!" I complained, which made Piplup chuckle, hop out of my arms and begin to roll around on the ground in laughter.
I pouted while crossing my arms over my chest just ash Ash laughed.
"Piplup's funny, isn't he?" Ash asked just as his Pokegear rang. He pulled out of his jeans pocket and answered it.
"Yello? Oh, hey Iris!" he answered, which made me giggle.
"So funny..." I trailed off.
"This is stupid! Why won't they get a fricking move on!?" Oshawott snapped.
"Cuz they're idiots, that's why." Piplup noted.
"Of course..." Pikachu said.
"I agree with all you guys." Meloetta agreed.
"Me-meloetta?!" Oshawott and Piplup both exclaimed in unison, their faces as plump as a tomato.
"Yes, me. I agree, but I honestly think that you all are a ton of idiots. Let them take their time." she explained.
"But...! They are some stupid guys in the way!" Pikachu complained.
"Yeah, and that too. Just give them some time, okay?" Meloetta asked.
"Okay~!" Buneary declared as she glomped Pikachu, which made him groan.
"Oh, brother..." he muttered to himself.
"Give me back mah strawberry!" Ash whined later that night at dinner.
I grinned as I kept the strawberry in between my teeth.
Cilan chuckled.
"Ash, I don't think she's giving up anytime soon." Cilan noted, which made Ash pout.
"But...!" he complained. Ash was wearing a black shirt with yellow and grey striped boxers.
"It's true, though." Cilan spoke up once again as he continued to eat a slice of his homemade blueberry pie. Cilan was wearing a white Ed Hardy shirt with black pajama pants.
"Ash, just give in already! We all know you're a little kid." Iris teased as she ate the last of her slice of blueberry pie. Iris was wearing a red and blue striped cami with white pajama pants.
I giggled.
"Haha, Ash- - -KYA~!" I exclaimed as Ash suddenly tackled me. I was wearing a black tank top with pink pajama shorts.
"Ha, ha, ha. Got you now." he sneered as he pinned my wrists above my head. I blushed furiously, noticing how close he was to me.
Iris whistled.
"Woo-hoo! Go get em' Ash!" she hollered.
Just last night, Iris told me that she realized that she loved Cilan, not Ash. I was nearly brimming with happiness and when I teased her, she had blushed and shook her head multiple times.
"Dawn, just give back the strawberry." Cilan said.
Ash smirked as he pulled the strawberry out of my mouth and popped it in his mouth.
"I win." he stated simply as he sat on me.
"Oh...my...god...ASH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, which made Cilan and Iris laugh.
Iris then noticed the Pokémon Center pool pass right by my finished tiramisu plate and she picked it up.
"Dawn? Were you planning on going to the pool?" Iris asked.
I looked over at Iris and saw the slip in her hands.
"Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me about that." I said. "Ash...get off!" I exclaimed as I shoved him off of me.
"Well, you can go ahead." he said as I got off the ground and went into the bathroom to change into my bikini.
I came out two minutes later wearing an electric blue cover-up with my black and blue striped bikini.
"Well...someone's ready to go to the beach. Doesn't look like you're going to the pool or anything." Cilan commented.
Iris shot a glare in his direction as she nudged him slightly.
"Leave the girl! She can dress up how she wants to dress up." Iris snapped.
I looked around for a specific someone and frowned.
"Guys, where's Ash?" I asked.
"Oh, him? He's getting in some last minute training." Iris repiled.
"Okay. Well, I'm heading to the pool. Cilan, I'll be back at around eleven thirty." I told him.
Cilan nodded.
"Okie dokey, Dawn." he said.
"Well, I'll see Cilan later and you guys tomorrow." I told them as I left the room and headed to the pool.
I took off my cover-up and laid it down on one of the chairs just as someone's head popped up on the surface.
I gasped while blushing, butterflies began fluttering in my stomach once I recognized the person.
"Paul...?" I questioned incredulously.
He looked around and a small smirk crawled onto his lips once he saw me.
"Troublesome." he said, which made me pout.
"Gr...! When will you stop calling me that?! My name is Dawn, not Troublesome!" I complained.
He chuckled as he sat on the edge of the pool.
"I guess it stuck." he glanced over at me. "So, what brings you to the pool?" he asked.
"I won the Musical and I ended up getting a pass to here. I decided to come here tonight so that I could relax before my battle tomorrow." I explained as I sat down next to him.
"If you really wanted to relax so badly, then why didn't you go to the hot tub?" he asked, which made me glare at him.
"You are such an idiot..." I trailed off.
"No, but listen. What are you really doing here?" he asked.
"I'm actually kind of nervous. I've been hearing from people that Elesa is a very tough opponent, even though they had won eight badges. I saw a guy scream as he ran out of the gym and I heard from one girl that the hardest part about her journey was battling her." I explained while watching my hot pink toenails in the water.
"Meh. I guess she is kind of tough..." he trailed off. "Well, I've got advice for you: Do not let your guard down. Elesa has this special ability where she can read your mind and she plans her attack at the last moment once she reads your mind. Make sure that you're not stressed, as well. She will use that against you." he advised.
"Oh wow. Paul actually gave me advice." I noted sarcastically.
"Just take the goddamn advice." he snapped.
"Well...thanks." I thanked him as I stared into his onyx colored eyes.
To me, they were just like Ryu's eyes. Even though they looked cold and icy, they at least showed emotion when they needed it.
We stared at each other for three minutes before he leaned in. I leaned in, as well. As I continued to lean in, my mom's words from in the letter rang through my mind.
"...don't do anything I wouldn't do." her words echoed through my ears.
"I find that this is wrong...But, I guess it couldn't hurt, right?" I asked myself.
"Hahaha! Good job, buddy!" Ash declared as he gave Pikachu a high-five.
"Oh...my...god...that...was...tiring..." Piplup said in between pants as he followed them from behind.
"Relax, Piplup!" Ash said as he unlocked the door to me and Cilan's room and stepped in.
Cilan was reading a book while Iris was in the kitchen, washing the dishes.
However, he didn't see me.
"Guys, where's Dawn?" he asked as he continued to look around for me.
"Oh, she left for the pool." Cilan said, not looking up from his book even once.
"Okay, thanks." He turned to Pikachu, Piplup, Meloetta, and Oshawott. "Come on, guys! Let's go check up on Dawn!" Ash declared as he skipped out of the room with Pikachu, Meloetta, and Oshawott following from behind.
Piplup groaned loudly as he trudged after them.
"Not...again..." he trailed off as he left the room.
Iris laughed as she turned off the sink.
"Those guys are silly, aren't they?" she closed the door and looked over at Cilan. "Ash is still a little kid..." she trailed off.
Cilan put down his book and looked at Iris.
"Come here." he said, patting the spot next to him on the bed.
Iris walked over to him and sat down.
"What's up?" she questioned.
Cilan didn't answer her question as he put his hand over her eyes, leaned in, and pressed his lips to her own softly.
Iris was surprised and you couldn't see due to his hand on her eyes, but her eyes were wide in shock.
He pulled away and whispered three words to her softly.
"I love you..."
Our lips connected and I felt like the world had dissolved around me. I didn't know what to do. Either it was a sin or it felt just right.
He kissed back just as hard and I fought back.
His hand unconsciously landed on my own hand and he gripped it tightly.
We didn't even notice that the pool door busted open and some Pokémon began to make noise.
"The hell?" Pikachu exclaimed.
We pulled away and Ash stared at us in surprise. Meloetta had her hands over her mouth in shock, Oshawott was stunned, Pikachu didn't have anymore words to say, and Piplup had fainted at the sight.
Suddenly, an angry aura rushed over Ash and he gritted his teeth as he raced over to Paul.
"Hey! What are you doing to Dawn?!" Ash yelled as he ran over to Paul and karate kicked him in face.
Paul fell into the water and Ash jumped in after him.
I gasped as I watched the bloody fight unfold before me.
Ash kept swinging punches at Paul's face and Paul smirked as he grabbed ahold of Ash's neck and tried to choke him as they plunged underwater.
"ASH! PAUL!" I screamed as I continued to watch them fight.
Ash kicked Paul in the chest and he swam up to the surface. Once he found Paul, he swung another punch, but Paul blocked it and punched Ash in the jaw.
"Stop it!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
However, they didn't listen to me. Ash kept pummeling Paul and Paul's face became more mashed up as Ash continued to swing more punches at him.
Pikachu whistled at the top of his lungs, but Ash ignored him.
Ash smirked as he watched how bloody Paul looked and shot him a cheesy grin.
"Sayonara, Paul." he said before swinging one more punch at him and getting out of the pool.
I watched the scene before me in horror, my eyes wide in shock and my hands over my mouth in surprise.
"Oh my god..." I trailed off.
Ash then looked over at me with a glare plastered on his face. His eyes flashed a blood red as he grabbed ahold of my wrist roughly.
"You come with me." he growled as he pulled me out of the pool.
Me-Yeeup. I just did this to you.
Dawn-...
Paul-...
Ash-EXCUSEZ-MOI?!
Me-Yup, I know.
Iris-Jesus Christ, help us...
Cilan-What's gonna happen?
Me-Ash's jealousy is what's gonna happen. :3
Ash-...
Dawn-...
Paul-...
Iris-...
Cilan-O...kay then.
Me-R&R please! If you do, you get a virtual N plushie along with a virtual Milotic! :)
