Sorry for the wait, Here's what happens next!

Flash back: "I love you too… even though you did the dirty work for a stranger, and ended up hurting our friend in the process…"

Dawn

"Luvdisc, jump, spin, and use Water Gun at the ground!" Dawn cried after Luvdisc made her entrance of being surrounded by blue hearts. It was a cool thing to see a random pink heart in the middle, and to suddenly realize it was alive!

"Luv-!" Luvdisc propelled out of the water, spinning while facing down. She let out a powerful water gun at the ground, and the force kept Luvdisc spinning in mid-air.

"Now use Icebeam!"

"-disc!" Luvdisc's beam of Water gun turned into a large poll of Ice. The top was slightly curved like a bowl, made on purpose so Luvdisc wouldn't slip off.

"Now use Water Pulse and Charm!"

Facing upwards, Luvdisc shot up Water Pulse. The water hit the ceiling, and it started to fall to the audience. It was then that Luvdisc spun and used Charm. All around, the affect of the charm hit the water, causing it to break and spread farther around. The crowd loved it, and Luvdisc had started shimmering.

The applause nearly made Dawn go deaf. She smiled at the deafening crowd and gave her curtsy. She carefully pinched the red satin on her dress; it was new, and she didn't want to even walk in it, let alone do a contest. It wasn't long enough to touch her knees, and she had a small jacket to cover her shoulders. She had on a pretty necklace- something she had woken up in- yet she didn't have a bracelet to mach it.

"Amazing!" said the announcer lady. "Dawn has really put on a show! We'll have the results in a little while, so stay tuned!"

Dawn held her arms out for Luvdisc to jump down. Luvdisc jumped down and landed in Dawns arms perfectly. They proceeded back stage, where Dawn's new-ish friends waited.

"That was amazing!" Zoey cried as she hugged Dawn as soon as she became visible.

"Thanks," Dawn said, returning Luvdisc to her Pokeball with a 'wonderful job, have a good rest'.

"That really was great," Amber stated. She was hiding behind a fake plant, but she peeked her head out to say that to Dawn.

Dawn laughed at Amber, "What are you doing?"

Amber blushed. "I fell like everyone is staring at my dress…"

"Of course they are," Dawn giggled. "It's the prettiest thing I've ever seen,"

Amber stepped out from behind the plant to reveal her pink sun dress. It was so simple, yet made so elegant by the tall silver high heels, dangling earrings, silver belt and an almost over-diamonded necklace. Her hair was braded, and had a silver bow at the end. She was so pretty, and when she performed on stage, it was as if she completely transformed from a nervous, apologetic girl, to a confident, independent one. But now she was back to her old self again…

"I think they don't like pink and silver together. I knew I shouldn't have chosen these colors, now everyone hates me…"

"Nobody hates you. And what did I tell you about hiding behind that plant?" a boy with Sandy blonde hair to match Amber's walked into the room. His crystal eyes showed his disapproval of her action. He held two cups, a hot dog, and some popcorn in his arms. He was tapping his foot, and Amber was saying her apologies again.

"Hey Jason!" Dawn said in an overly perky tone, felling completely weird to have such a funny feeling around a boy. She took a piece of Popcorn from his bag and popped it into her mouth. Jason didn't seem to mind.

Jason, Amber's little brother of 13, smiled at Dawn, but before he could say anything, the announcer lady's voice was heard.

"We now have the results from the first round!" At that moment, nobody cared about anything but what the lady had to say. "These are the coordinators going to the second round!"

Three pictures went by before it showed Amber's, who nearly fainted at the sight. Luckily, Zoey was there to catch her, and push her back to her feet. Two more after that and Dawn's picture popped up, causing Dawn to start jumping up and down with excitement as she hugged Amber tightly. She heard Jason's voice behind her. "Good job, ladies. How about the one who gets the farthest gets an ice cream, my treat?"

"Yay!" Dawn and Amber cried, high fiving as they cheered.

Zoey giggled as she muttered to Jason "Maybe if Dawn wins, you can give her a kiss," Jason blushed, but made no comment. Dawn giggled, hearing the whole thing, but didn't react the way she thought she would. Her mind traveled back to when she was little, beating up boys with her best friend Fiona, her other best friend, Kenny, always telling others not to get on her nerves. She noticed part of her memory was there, but others weren't. she remembered people teasing her about 'Dee Dee', but she couldn't remember why. Also, on her tenth birthday, she only remembered saying goodbye to her mom. After that, no matter what she did, she couldn't remember anything. She knew that when Zoey said that, she should've gotten a horrible pain in the pit of her stomach…

Why did her fear of love disappear? Why was her hatred of commitment gone? It was like it was never there… but she remembered that part! Why was it that she didn't complain to what Zoey had whispered to Jason…?

"Omg!" Amber cried, throwing Dawn out of her mind rumbling. Dawn stared wide eyed at what she saw.

"We have to battle first? That's not fair; I wanted to battle you in the final round!" Dawn pouted, stomping her foot.

"It's okay," Amber said. Dawn looked at Amber, facing the screen in front of her. She turned around and smiled at Dawn confidently, "I think going against me for the first is a good step for our rivalry,"

Dawn smiled at Amber. With a firm nod, they began to walk down the hallway towards the battle field.


Dawn collapsed on her bed, squealing to the ceiling. She kicked her legs in the air and held up her contest ribbon. "I won! I won!" she chanted as continued squealing. Her pokemon jumped on her bed and began jumping and cheering with her. She sat up and hugged her adorable pokemon quickly, "Thank you guys, time to get some sleep," Pachirisu found a spot at the end of the bed that felt comfortable. Kirlia picked up Luvdisc, and carried her to the bathroom. Dawn giggled when she heard the water running. She when to her stuff, which was her red traveling outfit and a small bag with not much in it. she pulled up the sleves of her new pajama shirt with a cute Pokemon called a Swablu on it. she carefully reatch inside her bag, and was surprised to find a diary in there. She layed back on her bed, flipping through the pages, when the door opened.

"Hey," Jason's voice cooed softly inside her room.

Dawn looked up from her diary and smiled. "Hi Jason, what's up?"

Jason slowly walked into the room, closing the door softly behind him. He sat at the edge of her bed, patting Pachirisu's soft fur before he spoke. "So… you won," He muttered lamely, seemingly in a different world.

"So, I did," Dawn said, her voice wasn't as proud as she felt, but his nonchalant mood was contagious.

Jason smiled slightly, continuing to pet Pachirisu, who rolled over in her sleep. He looked up at dawn, finally meeting her eyes. "You know, I know I'm younger than you, but..." he looked away, a slight blush on his face.

Dawn giggled slightly. "What about our slight age difference?" She retorted jokingly. He was a year younger than her, what was he so shy about?

Jason's gaze met hers again, his eyes had slight hope. Dawn smiled sweetly at him. He gained enough courage to reach out and grab her hand. "So… I…" He blushed again, looking away from her face. "Zoey told me to do this…"

Dawn giggled. "Will that be your excuse?"

Jason's blush engulfed his whole face. "Well- I just-"

Dawn wished for a second that he would do it. She just wanted him to kiss her. So many years have been whipped of her memory. Maybe, just maybe… She found herself leaning forward. Maybe… she wasn't afraid… Jason blushed again, leaning forward as well and…

"Kirlia," Dawn couldn't help but jump at the small yet strong voice next to her. She turned to her side, seeing Kirlia next to her bed, arms crossed, looking more than mad.

"Hey, Kirlia," Dawn's smile felt strange to her. She felt nervous; like she was caught lighting matches behind the school. What was with the look on Kirlia's face?

"Kirlia!" Kirlia suddenly used psychic on Jason. He flew to the other side of the room, hitting the wall sharply. There was a cracking sound, Dawn gasped the same time he did.

Dawn jumped to her feet. "Kirlia! What is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?" Dawn screamed at the Pokemon. Kirlia started ranting back at Dawn, waving his hands around dramatically, pointing at Jason, who struggled to stand up. Dawn, furious beyond believe, decided she didn't care what her Pokemon was saying. She grabbed Kirlia's Pokeball. "Return!" as she called it out, before the red beam engulfed Kirlia completely, she saw his hurt face and sad eyes. It caused her to freeze in that spot, holding the Pokeball out, standing perfectly still. Guilt stabbed her heart. 'Was Kirlia…'

"Dawn…"Jason called from the other side of the room. Dawn gasped and ran to him.

"I'm so sorry, Jason," Dawn said, her hands hovering over him, wondering where she should help him up from.

"It's Okay," He mumbled, holding his hand up to say 'calm down'. He still looked hurt as he stood up and limped to the door, using one hand on the wall to steady him. "I'll just-Ow!- sleep it off," He smiled weakly as he walked out the door, closing it behind him hard, making Dawn's heart almost stop.

Dawn felt like an idiot. 'Not afraid of love? Yeah right! What the heck is wrong with me?' She walked over to her bed and collapsed on it. She stretched out her arms, trying to relax, and felt a hard cold surface. She lifted her head to see the diary, the one she had found in her bag a moment before. She picked it up and turned through the pages once again. She found the first page, but the second and third was ripped off. She tilted her head to the side. "Huh? What the… why would I rip it out…?"

She slowly began to read what was written.

"Day 4 of Hoenn-

Dear diary,

GUESS WHAT! I decided, what the heck! I'm gonna give love a try!"

Dawn gulped. 'Did I really write that?' she continued reading.

"And not with just anyone, no! With -"

Dawn squinted, unable to read what she had written. It bugged her incredibly…

He made me promise! I have a feeling I'm not going to remember in the morning, tho, so I'm writing this know! - feel asleep, he looks so cute sleeping! I am going to sleep next to him. It might make me remember on the spot when I wake up. I really hope that if I don't remember that I'll look at this right away. Since - is asleep, he can't tell me (if I don't remember) to check in here. I hope I don't make him feel bad when I wake up. I wish I could leave a note somewhere but I'm afraid may or Drew will walk in and see it. I'm just gonna rely on you, dairy!"

Dawn tilted her to the side. "May and Drew…"


Paul

Paul looked behind him, seeing Verdanturf Town for the last time. Would Dawn want him to stay there until she mysteriously reappeared, or would she want him to continue on his journey? He knew the answer, and it hurt him, but it didn't mean he would stop looking. He would continue down the road, to the next town, to the next gym…

Whismur walked next to him, hugging his leg. Paul didn't care; he knew the Whismur had made a connection with Dawn. For that reason, Paul took a Pokeball out of his Pocket, and the Whismur retreated into the red light. Yes, He had caught Whismur. Whismur was the last thing that Dawn touched before she went missing…

He continued walking all day. After hours of walking alone, he found a nice oak tree and made camp there. The sun began going down… It was another night without Dawn. He threw out his Pokeballs, and the four Pokemon looked around. Paul knew they were looking for any sign of Dawn, which he was beginning to think there was no sign of her anywhere. They soon huddled together next to Paul for warmth, and fell asleep without a sound. They're sad faces where still there, even after they fell asleep. Paul looked at the one Pokemon that refused to give up. He sat at the top of the tree, looking at the horizon. Paul could tell that he was looking to the future. Or, at least he was trying to. Xatu could only look at the future before so many times because of a type of Pokemon steroid, one that Conway himself had created. Now, Xatu could only look to the sun for answers. He was still going through a withdrawal, and wasn't allowed in any real Pokemon battle for a while. Which was one of the reasons that Paul lost the last battle…

"What a Pokemon…" Muttered a voice to Paul's right. Paul looked in the direction to see an old man staring up at Xatu. He wore simple clothing, and had a dark coat draped over his arms.

"What do you want?" Paul's voice always came out harsher than intended, but it didn't seem to affect the man.

"Who's there?" The man turned slightly to Paul's direction. Paul's eyes got wide when he saw the man's eyes have a glossy coating over them.

"It's my Pokemon up there," Paul muttered without thinking. How could the man see Xatu if he's blind? He must have been talking about Pokemon in general…

"Yes, and a very fine Xatu he is. Strong, intelligent, every psychics dream!"

"A psychic?" Paul muttered. His eyes grew wide and he shot to his feet. "You can tell the future?"

The man nodded solemnly. "Yes, boy, I can. But only the very specific…"

"Sir…" Paul stepped forward but the man cut him off.

"She's fine, boy. Just keep going on your journey, and she'll find you. All you have to do is find the one behind all this, and ask 'how?'" Paul gasped as the man looked back at Xatu. "Such a wonderful Pokemon. With the right training, he could tell the future at just the right moment, when you need it the most…"

Paul looked up at Xatu, holding back his emotions from making him ignore the man in front of him and look for Dawn, and shoved his hands into his pocket. "He's recovering-"

"Yes, yes, that Conway boy has a lot of issues, hm?"

Paul turned back to the man. "How do you know this?"

The man shrugged. I don't know, boy. It doesn't make any since to me. I believe I am one of the rare, true psychics, blessed by a mysterious psychic Pokemon to tell prophesies… only, I can only tell how to fix a problem, not if it will be fixed or not."

Paul couldn't help but smile. He shook his head, causing it to disappear. "How about Xatu's problem?"

"I don't mean to sound greedy but…"

"You want to take him? I thought you would say that."

The Man chuckled. "That's amazing, you're becoming a psychic just like me!" the man joked, wrapping the dark coat over his shoulders. "I'll give this Xatu back to you. He has grown attached to you, I must respect that. He is a very fine specimen,"

Paul shrugged and gave a whistle, and Xatu turned around. He flew down in front of the man, stared at him for a moment and hugged him, causing Paul to become very confused.

"Yes, Yes! You are my missing Xatu!" The man cried, holding Xatu tightly.

"Xatu!" Xatu was crying on the old man. He turned to Paul, and hugged him too.

"Stop that!" Paul shouted. Xatu refused to listen and continued hugging.

The old man chuckled. "TuTu, come now, you must listen to the man that saved you." The old man chuckled. Xatu backed away and bowed to Paul.

Paul sweat-dropped. "So, you were complementing the Pokemon you thought might be your stolen…"

"No, no, I raise Xatu's. This is TuTu, he went missing before his training ended. I'll bring him back to you. Guaranteed. He just looked like TuTu, so I assumed he was,"

Paul shook his head. 'He's not blind at all…' Paul sighed. "Whatever." He looked up at Xatu one more time. "So… TuTu?"

Xatu laughed while he nodded. He nudged Paul's arm, and with the man, he walked away.

Paul sighed and rubbed his face. 'Dawn would've cried and held on to Xatu for an hour… What's wrong with me?'

Paul looked up at the two fading images, walking in the distance. Paul mumbled.

"Goodbye, Xatu,"
