Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon and I dislike them for not putting the counterparts of May and Dawn, only in dumb cameos.
This story is only for my enjoyment and I like reading and writing. It makes me practice writing as well, because out topic in English will about making stories. This is the second day of their journey to Lily of the Valley; I'll end the journey on the third day.
And another thing is that you don't really need to read the disclaimer and my notes.
Dawn's Dream
"Why is this happening again?"
I saw that I was in Twinleaf town, outside a house that wasn't familiar to her; she saw the other house next door and figured that was hers. She spotted a truck that said Poke Movers and three figures which she realized that it was her and Barry; they stand beside the house. The other one was standing beside the truck. What I saw was Barry and I were crying, well mostly me, Barry was only sobbing a bit afraid to lose his manly composure. They actually look older than my last dream, maybe about seven.
"Don't go!" My younger self said.
"Yeah!" Barry shouted.
"Don't worry, we're just moving to Sandgem town." The boy said trying to stop them from crying.
"But our parents would not allow us to visit you because we don't have any Pokémon and we're too young." She said.
"I'm sure we'll meet up again and play." The one who wasn't crying said as he dug in his pocket. "Before that day comes I want you to have this Dawn." He pulled out a something that looks like a band with two beads; he grabbed the crying Dawn's right hand and he puts it on.
"What's this?" she asked trying to hold back her tears.
"It's a friendship bracelet," he said with a smile and raising his right hand showing her an exact copy. "I also have one." He embraced Dawn. "Please don't forget about me Dawn." He whispered in her ear. He then let go of her and patted Barry's shoulder saying to stay strong; he boarded the truck where his parents were waiting. "Bye!" he waved to them.
"I remember this." I tried to remember who the boy was; I remembered when I was young I always had dreams when we saw each other again.
Everything turned black again and I saw one single light flashing.
She opened her eyes and she was now back in the room, she quickly took her right hand and saw the same band given to her in her dream.
'I don't think that was a dream,' She began to ponder. 'I think it was more like a lost memory.'
When she looked around the room she saw empty beds, but when she looked at her side she saw Lucas sitting on a chair. He had a smile on his face when she looked at him.
"Hey Dawn." He said cheery.
"Where are the others?"
"They went down to eat."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
"Well, I said that I would wait till you're awake."
"So you were watching me when I was sleeping!" Dawn started to get angry.
"Yeah," he said calmly. "But it was only about 10 minutes, and don't you worry, you still looked elegant even when asleep." He finished.
The girl blushed, she was speechless.
"We should go down now, I'm starving." He ended with a laugh.
The girl just nodded feeling a little peckish herself. As Lucas stood up from the chair she saw two beads on a band on his hand, her mind flashed the image of the boy in her dreams. She didn't realize that she was staring and wasn't moving.
"Are you coming?" Dawn snapped out of her trance and got up following Lucas.
They made it to the cafeteria of the Inn and met up with Ash, Brock and Barry. They were already eating; they saved them seats and already ordered for them. Lucas and Dawn sat starting to eat; after chatting with each other and eating they went on their way.
"How long till we get to Lily of the Valley?" Ash asked to no one particular.
"We'll be arriving by tomorrow afternoon." Brock answered anyway.
"If I was travelling alone I would've made it there already." Barry said.
"Well you could go alone!" Dawn shouted.
"Well... it's because I wanted to hang out with Lucas." He smiled sheepishly.
Dawn couldn't blame him from wanting to hang out with Lucas, being old friends and not seeing each other for a long time. She also wants to be with Lucas, talking to him makes her happy and it feels like a part of her became alive again when they met.
They travelled some more when they saw a girl that has blonde hair the top was covered by a sun hat and wore a simple dress. Her hair is as long as Dawn's and there was a small red bow tied on the side of her hair; her eyes were a deep shade of green, her skin was the same as Dawn's and her face was radiant. All in all she was very pretty. She looked like she was searching for something.
Ash saw her and wanted to know what she was searching for. "Hey, what are you looking for?"
The blonde finally noticed them and eyed each one till her eyes landed on the beret boy. She almost lost consciousness when she saw him. But she quickly shook her head and answered the question of Ash.
"I'm looking for my Vulpix." She answered. "Some crooks that call them Team Rocket stole her." She said sadly.
"Don't worry we'll help!" Brock offered.
"Yeah!" Ash said.
"No!" Barry crossed his arms. "We can't just sto-mmph!" His mouth was covered by Dawn's hands.
"Of Course we'll help." Dawn said while still holding the struggling Barry.
She immediately became happy that they would help her find Vulpix.
"I'll use Riolu to sense your Pokémon's aura." Lucas said letting out the said Pokémon.
"Good idea." Brock praised.
Lucas told his Pokémon to sense Vulpix's aura. He closed his eyes and began to meditate, he sensed four auras two were humans and two were Pokémon; the other Pokémon was the one they were searching for. He still had his eyes closed when he stood up and began running towards them. He was being followed by his trainer and his friends.
"By the way I didn't catch your names, mine is Bell."
"I'm Ash, that's Brock, Barry, Dawn and Lucas." All of them still trying to catch up with Riolu.
"I think I can say my own name, thank you very much!" Barry sounded annoyed.
They ran into a small forest close to where the road was and where they met Bell. Riolu kept leading them until they saw a clearing; Riolu stopped waiting for further orders from Lucas. They hid behind a bush scanning the area until they spotted the trio of crooks with a Vulpix in a cage. Meowth kept blabbering about how the Boss will love this Vulpix, Jessie and James was also daydreaming about it. They now began to scare Vulpix for no reason and Bell couldn't' stand them anymore.
"Hey you thieves!" she yelled at them obviously furious.
"Yikes! It's the twerps!" Meowth said in shock.
Jessie didn't budge or cower from the sudden surprise. "Yanmega!" she let out her Pokémon.
"Carnivine!" When the light faded we see that Carnivine was chewing on James' head. "Get off me!"
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on Yanmega!"
"Use Silver Wind!"
Yanmega launched her Silver Wind at the exact time the Thunderbolt did. The two attacks collided leaving only the smoke.
"Riolu since you're out use a Quick Attack on Carnivine!"
"Use Bullet Seed to stop him!"
Riolu ran in a zigzag motion to get near Carnivine at the same time dodging the barrage of Bullet Seed. James began to panic as Riolu got closer and before he knew it he was tackled. Carnivine still got up, but showing signs of fatigue.
"Pikachu use Iron Tail!"
"Yanmega counter with Steel Wing!"
The two steel type moves collided with each other knocking both Pokémon back a few yards.
"Quickly use Volt Tackle!"
Jessie was too late to react; her Pokémon got hit by the move and was one attack away from fainting.
"Carnivine use Bite!"
"Dodge then finish this with a Force Palm!"
Carnivine opened its wide mouth ready to gobble the little blue dog. Riolu jumped up when Carnivine came and used his Force Palm aiming it right on the head fainting it. James returned Carnivine to its Pokeball.
"SonicBoom now!" Jessie commanded.
"Thunderbolt!"
SonicBoom and Thunderbolt faced off, but Thunderbolt won the contest of power and hitting the bug Pokémon making it faint also getting returned to her Pokeball.
"Riolu fetch Vulpix."
Meowth was guarding the cage and had his claws out ready to strike anyone who comes to close. Riolu ran passed Jessie and James, but halted when Meowth leaped using Fury Swipes. Riolu blocked all his attacks with his superior fighting skills and countered with normal attacks. After, he broke the cage with a Reversal and carried the Vulpix on his back to return her to Bell.
"Pikachu, launch them with a Thunderbolt!"
He launched the bolt of lightning at them and after the cloud of dust and smoke they we're seen flying up. When Bell got her Pokémon back she hugged Vulpix. She then faced her heroes and thanked them.
"Thank you for your help," she bowed. "And I would all like you to stay at my house for tonight." She said politely.
"Uh... thanks Bell!" Ash said.
"Seems like a good idea," Brock said. "It is getting late." Staring at the sky.
"Whoa, its night time already!" Dawn said in surprise.
"Sure, why not." Lucas smiled.
Bell smiled and grabbed the arm of Lucas and led him to her house. Lucas was pretty shocked as did Dawn. Bell waved to signal them to follow. Vulpix was right beside her when she was running.
"Okay we're here," letting go of Lucas' arm. "This is where I live."
The gang looked up at the house; they all stared at awe when they saw how big it was. They all thought that she thinks this was a house. She opened the gate and led them to the front door; it opened before she could even touch it. The door was opened by a woman that has blonde hair that reached to her back; she was wearing a white dress. She stared at Bell and then quickly hugged her.
"Bell where we're you it's very late." The worried woman said.
"Sorry mom, but some people stole Vulpix and I went out searching for her."
"Who are they?" releasing her daughter.
"They're the one who helped me get Vulpix back." She said cheerfully. "I said that they can stay here for the night, is that okay?"
"Of course! But first let's go eat dinner."
She went inside and left the door open for them to come in. They went in after Bell and was amazed by the size of the inside is. Expensive art as far as the eye can see doors to other rooms were bigger than any of them and giant chandelier hanging in the huge lobby where they were in right now. Then a butler with spectacles that made it impossible to see his eyes and a tux that looks really expensive. He came forward them and asked to follow him using the most polite manner they ever did see.
"Hey, Bell you never told us you were rich!" the astounded Brock said.
Bell was blushing with the lightest pink.
They were led to a room with modern couches, chairs and a big round table at the center. There were paintings of Pokémon on each side of the wall. It was the waiting room explained the butler and he went on his way to the kitchen. They all sat down except for Barry, who jumped on a couch. Dawn almost shrieked at his improper behaviour in someone else's home, she was relieved that Bell's mother was gone.
"So Bell," Bell gave her attention to the former gym leader. "What does your mom do for a living?"
"I don't really know, but she owns a company."
"It must be one big and successful company to afford this mansion." Ash said while his Pikachu nodded.
They chatted with each other for some more; talking about how excited they are about the upcoming conference. They kept sighing whenever Ash and Barry would rant about how they're going to win, but Dawn wasn't paying attention like Brock and Lucas did she was too busy glancing at Bell who always stares at Lucas.
"Just wait until the confer-" Barry stopped talking when he heard his stomach growl with hunger and Ash's stomach wasn't too far behind.
Exactly the right moment the butler came back and announced that dinner was ready and politely asked to follow him to the dining room, immediately Barry and Ash rose from their seats and followed the butler, Dawn and the others followed afterwards. When they were in the dining room they saw the long table filled with food. Barry didn't waste any time, he quickly sat and started munching with the food. They sighed then followed.
"This is great!" Ash was now eating the fancy food.
"I really need to get the recipe of this soup." Brock slurped his soup.
"Thank our chef for this." Bell smiled.
Pikachu took one bite of the well prepared bread. Lucas was quietly eating his food, while Barry was doing the opposite. Dawn stared at the quiet boy, but she was not alone, because Bell was also looking at him. It became very late when they finished eating; they were lead to their own rooms and Bell left them to the hands of her butler. Barry went to his room and fell on the bed, Ash removed his hat and slept with Pikachu beside him, Brock did the same. Dawn's room was across Lucas'. Before she went inside she said good night to Lucas and he returned it with a yawn. Both went inside their respective rooms with a final thought from Lucas.
'See you tomorrow Dawn.' He closed his eyes and slept peacefully.
