As the sun came up, people were slowly getting their day underway. Since it was a Saturday there was no need to rush things. A lot people didn't had to go to work or school. At least for those at school not invested into sporting events. While a teenage girl was still sleeping away in her bed her mother was up doing her chores around the house. Sure there weren't going to be any visitors that she knows off, but a clean home is a happy home.

Currently dusting off a cabinet filled with awards and pictures she gathered in her life.

The person in question is Johanna. Mother of Dawn and former model. Giving up her career to raise her daughter in peace she couldn't be more content. After living in the spotlights for so long it was nice to go back to her roots in a modest sized house.

Even though she gathered a vast fortune as a model she never went flaunting it. Wanting her daughter to grow up in a normal environment like she did, she put all her money on a bank account outside the country with a lot more lenient taxes. That way she still has a sizeable account to put from whenever she needed it.

Seeing it's turning around 10 am Johanna wanted to go upstairs to wake her girl up. But seeing as it was that time she might've as well listen to the news first.

"Last night a fight broke in the museum. The property damage left behind between the two men ranges into the thousands of dollars. One of them being the vigilante who is still yet without a name."

She sighed. Always trouble in this town.

"The item on display was to be revealed today to the public. Answers on how the thief knew it was placed there remain unclear. No traces of identity of the thief, except for a hole in a wall traced with a bit of blood. Police are still investigating the matter. More on this story on the news at twelve."

Johanna hoping it wasn't as bad as it sounded. The vigilante in blue has done a few good things for this city. Always nice to have people around for things that the police couldn't handle. She wanted to know why he went without a name. Wouldn't it be easier to have an identity so people can't dress like him and confuse him for someone else?

Anyway she had to wake up her treasure. She loved her daughter very much. It was just such a chore waking her up in the weekends. Entering her room the mother saw her still sleeping form on the bed. Slowly stepping through her room, Johanna shook her gently awake.

"Sweetie. Rise and shine." A small groan of protest erupted from the girl. Now knowing she's awake the mother spoke softly so that her groggy mind can understand what's saying.

"Morning dear. I made breakfast. Your favorite."

After that she left the room. This always happened. Even when it just was 10 am and the school's basketball won't start till around 2, Dawn always needed time to do her hair and appearance. Always wanting to look best it must've been a trait she picked up from her. Even if Dawn has no intention of being a model like herself.

"Morning mom." Turning around she saw her treasure all dressed up. Already in the outfit she's going to perform in today. Johanna never understood the appeal of cheerleading but if it made her daughter happy, who's she to lecture her? And it kept her into shape which was an added bonus.

"All ready for today?"

"You bet I am!" The youthful energy of the girl brought out.

"Now eat up your breakfast. You need your energy for today." Like she said she made her favorite pancakes.

"Thanks mom. You're the best!"

Seeing Dawn devouring her breakfast filled her heart. After finishing up they stepped inside the car and Johanna brought Dawn to her school. Normally children wanted to avoid school in the weekends and here she was bringing her only child to hers. It must have really changed since she last graduated.

"Bye sweetie. Have fun." Dawn unbuckled her seatbelt and grabbed her bag.

"No need to worry mom. I will!" Waving her mother goodbye for now she made her way inside the building looking forward to the game.

"And that's when I worry the most." Rolling up her window and driving home. Dawn sure was a piece of work.

"But she's mine piece of work."


"Morning!" Dawn entered the girls locker room in which the rest of the cheer squad was working on preparing themselves. Some of them already starting in her stretching exercises, not wanting to pull a muscle.

"Morning Dawn." Seeing the bluenette enter she's greeted by one of her best friends on the team. Seeing the brunette with two big bangs next to her face and sapphire blue eyes greeted her.

"Hey May. Every thing okay?"

"Except for my little brother being a pest, yes."

Her little brother Max is quite annoying. Quite a bit of a smarty pants to other people including her he did have an idol he always respected. May's father is a police officer and by the department considered one of the best on the force. Having had run-ins with the vigilante in blue her father was surprisingly reluctant to make efforts to lock him up by taking the law in his own hands.

Dawn didn't get why May always complained about her little brother. She went to the Maple house for dinner sometimes and he was always such a dear to her.

"Max is a sweetheart. I don't really see your issue with him."

"You never had a brother who replaced your shampoo with hair dye. Bright blond won't suit you."

"That's why I'm happy to be a only child like Dawn."

"Leona!"

Another one of Dawn's friends on the team. Out of everyone she considered a friend the other brunette has green eyes. Being together since kindergarten they took care of each other and formed quite a friendship. Another perk is that her parents owned their own hot spring.

Leona as an only child is next in line to take over the family business. And if she did well according to her parents, she would be forced to invite her friends over to inspect her work. That way Leona can't do things half handed because her friends will lecture her about it.

"Morning Deedee." A sly grin on the green eyed brunette appeared knowing it triggers her friend.

"Stop calling me that!" You touch an electric orb during a field trip at a science lab once, looking like a shining hedgehog and never live it down.

"Why not? It suits you." A redhead with curls and red eyes taunted the blue haired girl.

"Ursula." Nobody knowing why exactly one of Dawn's so called rivals joined the cheerleading team. All of the other girls not knowing what her deal is just always ignored her.

Now with the welcome out of the way time to talk about today's hottest topic.

"You heard about what happened last night?" Leona talking to her best friends.

"I didn't." The bluenette unaware of what was all over the news. Her friends knew Dawn always slept in whenever she could but even than it's a shock.

"You need to wake up earlier and watch the morning news more often." The redhead with curls in her hair told her. Ignoring her as usual Leona explained in detail.

"There was a fight in the museum. And well, it's unlike anything you've ever seen." May pulling out her phone opened her video player. She downloaded the film wanting to see it a bit few more times. All the cheerleaders huddled up together to watch the small screen.

"That must be where Ash went." Being reminded that her friend went probably looking for the source of it. And found it. Asking where the footage exactly came from Ursula huffed.

"The footage showed up at the news and it's the hottest thing on the web right now. Get with the times Deedee." Ursula again uttering Dawn's nickname.

"No way. It's a movie or some prank. Regular people don't move like that. This is just some trailer for a movie that's coming up." Ursula not believing for one moment the footage is real.

"That must've hurt." May feeling the hurt at seeing the figure in blue being hit in the kneecaps.

"Like I said. Special effects. No way this is real." Ursula not trusting on what she's seeing.

Even when the outcome was already decided Dawn was still full of nerves. Her fears that the figure in blue met his match at seeing the other figure keeping up with his abilities. Seeing them going back and forth, the girls all commented on the fight. Except one.

"Are you okay Dawn?" While everyone on the squad was pretty vocal the bluenette was incredibly quiet.

"I'm fine. No need to worry! It's exciting you know!"

"Oh he send him flying!" With the rest of the team again focused on the footage Dawn went to her bag and pulled out her phone. Scrolling to the messages app she send a new one to one of the people she probably knew in the fight.

"r u okay? I saw the news. Pls text"

Keeping her phone with her in her hand she hoped he would answer soon. While the video of the fight was ending Dawn still didn't get a response. Her worry at the lack of a response didn't do her any good. Did he just sleep in or was he really beat up?

"Aw! I wanted to see more." May disappointed at the footage ending. Dawn meanwhile clutched her phone even more.

"Come on! Answer!" Still no return message.

"Let's go for our warm-up!" The game was going to start soon and as custom the girls went to do their stretching exercises. Not willing to pull a muscle during their fun activity. Dawn still keeping her phone close by just in case.

"Come on. Answer already."


While the sun is already above the horizon for hours one person just started to wake up. After a heavy night he stirred in his bed still not willing to get up. Looking at his alarm clock he noticed he woke up later than he usually did. Now with a bit a bit more consciousness he picked up his phone and opened it up.

Send recently. Two messages.

Seeing the top message coming from the girl he visited last night he read it. Did she think about his question last night and went with it?

"r u okay? I saw the news. Pls text"

"What news?" Checking his phone and going a local website his exploits from last night well documented as front page news.

"Oh. That news."

Of course there were some sightings of him before doing his thing at night but normally they were nothing more but flashes. The footage is a bit blurry and no matter what he did he couldn't make out the identity of the person he was fighting. Or that he's the second one in it.

Going through the rest of the messages another stood out. It was from his mom. Of course she was worried about him. Seeing his outfit neatly folded on his nightstand she at least knew he made it home safely. Still some words might reassure her a bit more.

Taking a selfie he added it to the message. A visual confirmation that he's okay will be a more stronger sign than just a text.

"I'm fine mom. Sorry to worry you." His mother telling him to never use derived text messages when talking to adults. After checking if there were no spelling errors he send it with the picture of himself.

Getting back to the first message he texted back at Dawn.

"No need to worry." Pressing send, only now he noticed the time. The game is starting soon and he's still on his back in his bed. Reluctantly getting up from his bed he wanted to sleep in a bit more still feeling a bit sore from last night.

But he had a game to catch. Grabbing a simple red jacket that stretched over his arms hiding the bruises from his last fight, finishing with some blue jeans and white sneakers he locked the door to the house and set out to meet the girl.

Dawn is the only other in class who knows about his hero business so of course she wanted to get the scoop herself. He only hoped she won't question him too much and he increase her fears over a new potential threat.

"Where is he?"

"The teams are coming up soon. You ready!"

Dawn unwilling to separate from her phone, tried smuggling it in one of her pompoms. Dawn hearing her ringtone quickly pulled out her phone. Reading the message a huge feeling of relied washed over her.

"Oh thank goodness he's okay." Now if only she can see him in person. That will really relief her worries. But as the teams made their way on the field and the cheerleader team were taking their respective spots Dawn quickly joined them.


The game being underway for four quarters already the home team was trailing. One of the home players not agreeing with a recent decision that gave a free throw to the opposing team.

"Come on ref! That's a foul! Fine him!" A blonde haired boy named Barry also known as 'Busy Barry' in his school. People joked that even on relaxation meds he still had enough energy to power a city block if you put him in a hamster wheel. At least he managed to continuously close the defensive gaps and sometimes spectators thought he was everywhere on the field.

"Barry. Shut up." Another boy in the team with purple hair told him to stand down. Named Paul, he was pure business. Employing a win at all cost mentality, you could always count on him to drag the team up whenever they were trailing in the game. But as good as he is, he wasn't exactly Captain material.

There was no denying he was a pretty good player.

"Come on guys calm down. It's only four points." The more level headed boy named Kenny tried calming them down. Another good childhood friend of one of the cheerleaders was a bit more relaxed compared to his teammates.

"Easy for you to say." A guy called Gary frustrated with the deficit in points with only a little time left on the clock. The grandson of the school principle actually aiming to have a professional career as a basketball player. But being the grandson of the principal he usually thought he has special privileges.

"Still not lost. Just keep your heads down and focus on the job. We can still win." The final player on the field called Brock rallied the troops. A boy with dreams of being a physician, he joined the basketball team to keep himself into shape.

"Look, here's we are gonna do it." Brock coming up with a game plan to turn the deficit around all the other players listened.


"GAME WINNER!" The home crowd erupting over the winning shot. Ash at least made it in time for the celebrations. Seeing the team celebrate and ganging up on Kenny means he must have been the one to make the winning shot.

Seeing that his school had won he went looking for the girl he promised he'd be here. Better late than never. Seeing her celebrate with the girls and some of the players he didn't either want to butt in or just talk to them when things calmed.

"Hey there Ashy boy. You made it after all." Gary annoyed that again he showed up at the end of a game just to check if they won.

"Again." Paul didn't care. It wasn't his business to know what the raven haired boy was up to on Saturday mornings. People deserve a private life. He wasn't going to ask questions about Ash since he kept to himself.

"How many times do I have to fine you before you come at the start of the game!?" Barry not as forgiving as his teammates.

"Sorry guys. I just love sleeping in." Rubbing the back of his head in apology.

"What you're doing is more than sleeping in. Do you go clubbing without us every night?" Gary always looking for a nice catch in the female department seeing himself as a real ladies man.

"Something like that."

"And if you do, can I have some numbers?" Brock being a hopeless romantic in his own right. Which strange according to the rest of the school, since he isn't exactly chasing girls in his age of class group.

"Where's Kenny?" Ash wondering where today's game winner went. Seeing him going to the girl he promised to be here the player started to talk to the cheerleader.

"Dawn. Is it okay I walk you home?" The game winner nervously asked her. Wanting to ask her a question on the way to her house since they lived closer together than any of their classmates. But the girl had other plans. Seeing the boy she was nervous about before talking to the team she pretty much wanted to skip over and hug him.

"Actually, I asked Ash if he wanted to do it this time. Next weekend okay?" Dawn promised him. She liked Kenny but it wasn't every day you'd get to walk home with an internet sensation. And really wanting to know what on earth happened last night.

"Oh sure." Trying to hide his disappointment. He really wanted to walk her home today after scoring the winner. Seeing Ash and Dawn he was in half a mind in following them. But being the one that scored the winner the school paper was eager to get his thoughts for the coming paper.

"Next week it is then."

"Hey Ash! Just the one I'm looking for." Dawn coming up to him during his conversation with the team. Seeing her coming to him he feared her a bit.

"Mind walking me home?"

"I never do." Taking her jacket out of her bag Dawn and Ash left the school. Now going through the streets Dawn had tons of questions for him. Wanting to get the biggest one out of the way.

"Just what happened last night?"


Maybe 4000 words a chapter is a bit to much for me. The world building is easy. After that it gets a bit more difficult for me to keep myself falling into repetition. And a new story just gives me motivation to bring more. I grew a bit stale with GS ball unlocked and I needed a new spark.

Between 3000 and 4000 words then. And that way I can post more often and keep the flow going. Still need to figure out a few details of what city this takes place in but I'm leaning to Veilstone or Vermillion City. Also meet a bit more of the gang in this little AU, and there's more to come.

See you around.
