Chapter 3: Dawn Likes Ash?
Dawn was practically fuming with rage inside. 'With May here I'll never be able to tell Ash my feelings! Ugh! This is so frustrating!' she thought angrily. As soon as she finished her meal, she stormed off to the lake with her pokéballs, and grumbled something about going to Lake Valor. Reaching her destination, she sat down by the nearest shade, coincidentally the same spot where Ash and May had their picnic.
Letting out a sigh, she released her pokémon. Red flashes came, and her pokémon appeared in an instant, wondering if they were going to train. She briefly told them that it was their break, since they had been training the past day.
The results were immediate. Pachirisu squealed in joy, and started looking for wild pokémon to play with. Buneary started looking for Pikachu with a love struck look in her eyes. Piplup ran into the lake and started splashing around. The rest had walked to another tree and started to converse to one another.
While her partners were busy, Dawn's mind was occupied with the auburn eyed trainer, known as her traveling partner, Ash Ketchum. She had started to take a liking to him when he had saved her life during an adventure involving another mystical legendary. She loved his kindness towards others, his compassionate attitude with his friends, the fiery determination that shone in his eyes during a battle.
'Stop it! This is not the time to start thinking about him!' she scolded herself. 'I need to find a way to get Ash to like me and get May out of the picture!'
And so, the blunette set her mind to work out the most devious plans to try and get her temporary female traveling partner kicked out of the group.

After the 'episode' with Dawn, Brock had cleared the table and was now studying the map, in case they get lost. Again.
The couple wandered off to look for a secluded area to train. Pikachu and Eevee were currently discussing the reaction of Dawn when Ash had suggested to have May accompany them to Veilstone, much to their delight, and their pokémon on the belts they wore.
"You know, when that Dawn girl stormed off, she looked really mad." Eevee stated worriedly.
"Do you think she likes him?" Pikachu wondered.
"She probably does. Poor girl. I hope she won't be too crushed by the fact that Ashy here won't return her feelings." the brown evolution pokémon sympathized.
Pikachu sighed in return. "I hope so too. She's a good person."
While the electric and normal types were talking, their respective trainer's were having a a conversation of their own.
"Ash, why did you ask me to come with you? I mean, I do want to come and all, but I don't wanna be a burden to you guys, having to slow you down and stuff." she said, shuffling her feet nervously.
"I guess I missed you so much, I wanted to stay with you while I can." he said, with a sappy grin on his face. "That and Pikachu here would kill me if I didn't." he added with a slight shudder, thinking of what his starter pokémon would do if he hadn't.
Soft giggling was heard from the coordinator. "So, how long would we be staying at Veilstone? I still need to train for the Johto Grand Festival! Talk about pressure!" the young girl exclaimed, completely changing the subject.
"Around a week or so. You're free to stay as long as you want to. But you wouldn't mind staying longer with your boyfriend, would you?" he asked, with a pouty look on his face.
The brunette sighed."No. I guess I could stay a bit longer. Only if you help me train. You know, that pouty look doesn't look good on you. You would have to be around five years old to pull that off perfectly." she said with a laugh.
"It was worth a shot. Sooo, if you don't mind staying longer, would you mind finishing what we started?" the black haired trainer asked, a little too excited.
His girlfriend got a mischievous smile on her face."Only if you catch me!" she said, before running off with Eevee by her side.
"Let's go get them Pikachu!" Starting to run he thought he heard something by the bushes. Motioning his partner to follow him, he crept up to the plant. Bursting from the leaves came Dawn's Buneary, who had its eyes replaced with hearts at the sighting of Pikachu. A horrified look appeared on the said pokémon's face before he started running away screaming, "Get away from me, you lovesick rabid lunatic!AAAHHH!"
And so, the chase began.
