A 15-year-old Ash was walking down route 1 back to his home in Pallet Town after a crushing defeat in the Unova league. Pikachu was sitting on his shoulder as usual, silent.

When he got home he opened to the door and walked inside "Mom I'm home." He called

"I'm in the living room." She replied back. Ash slowly walked into the living room to find his mother, Brock, Misty, May, and Max sitting around it.

"What's going on?" he asked confused looking around at all of them.

"Ash honey maybe you should sit down." His mother said.

"No."

They all hesitated "We think it's time you gave up on your dream." Brock finally said. Ash stared at him confused, what were they talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"We mean you're week. You haven't won a singly competition since you started your journey and you probably never will." Misty said harshly.

Ash was shocked Misty had never said anything like that to him before. "Is this true?" he asked his mother, and she just nodded. He could feel anger, hurt, and betrayal rising up inside him "Well if that's how you feel then I guess I'll just go, come on Pikachu." He said turning toward the door. He stopped when he realized Pikachu wasn't with him "Pikachu?" he asked confused.

Pikachu shook his head before walking to stand with the traitors. Ash felt like his heart had just broken into a million little pieces. "Well fine say here I never needed you anyway!" he yelled before turning and running out of the house to Professor Oak's Ranch. He quickly collected all of his pokemon said his goodbyes and left on Charizard.

Ash woke up with a start sweat clinging to his body his breath coming in gasps. He closed his eyes tightly and clutched Dawn to him taking comfort in her presence. "Ash?" he heard as Dawn shifted. He opened his eyes slowly to look down at her. He saw worry shining in her eyes as she brought her hand up to caress his face "What's wrong?" she asked him.

He shook his head burying his face in her neck. "Shhh, hey its ok, I'm here, I'm here and I'll never leave you. Shh please talk to me. It kills me seeing you like this." She pleaded with him running her fingers through his hair.

He just shook his head again before leaning back to kiss her passionately, he flipped them over so she was underneath him making her gasp in surprise but it quickly turned into a moan as he kissed her, one of his hands slipping between her legs slowly spreading them apart as he sank down onto her his member brushing at her entrance again.

When he pulled back from their kiss and Dawn saw the look in his eyes she couldn't say no to him, he was pleading with her to let him explain later but he needed this now to feel her against him that she was real and wasn't going to disappear. She nodded before leaning up to kiss him as he pushed into her before starting to thrust into her slowly allowing her to adjust to him before picking up the pace making Dawn moan in pleasure as he pounded into her. It wasn't long before she was yelling his name again as pleasure coursed through her body and Ash was stiffening above her.

When he pulled out of her he collapsed on his back before quickly jumping out of bed grabbing his boxers and throwing them on walking over to the fireplace and staring into the flames. Dawn looked at him sadly for a moment before standing up as well pulling on her underwear and his t-shirt. She slowly walked over to him wrapping her arms around his waist placing her chin on his shoulder.

He placed his hands on hers "Please talk to me, don't shut me out."

Ash sighed before turning in her arms to look down at her wrapping his arms around her waist "It was just a bad dream." He said trying to brush it off as nothing, but Dawn still remembered the hurt in his eyes.

"What about?" she asked not giving in, in the slightest.

Ash sighed again "About the day I left." He finally gave in.

"Oh Ash." She said cupping his face in her hands "They can never hurt you again you have friends that look up to you, your pokemon all love you, and you have me. You don't ever have to think about that ever again."

He leaned his forehead on hers his cold breath hitting her face. "Thank you." He whispered smiling at her.

"Always." She said before leaning up to kiss him lightly. They both smiled at each other before Dawn grabbed his hands "Get dressed, I want to show you my new pokemon." She said pulling him toward their clothes.

They quickly got dressed with Dawn borrowing one of his black hoodies to keep warm before walking outside. "Alright everyone come on out." Dawn called tossing her poke balls into the air. Out of them came a shiny Ponyta with a fiery blue mane and tail as opposed to the normal orange, a Swablu, a Minun, a Milotic, and an Eevee. As soon as the Eevee was released she ran right up to Dawn and hid behind her legs, whimpering slightly.

Dawn smiled at her before leaning down to pick her up laughing as she licked her face. "This is Eevee as you can tell. I hatched her from an egg I won in a competition." Dawn told him.

"Hey Eevee." Ash said soothingly reaching out so she could sniff his hand she licked it lightly after a few seconds making him smile. He then turned to look at the rest of her new pokemon that were looking at them curiously.

"Those are some really beautiful pokemon you have there."

"Thank you Ash. Now let me see yours." Dawn said excitedly.

Ashe smiled before tossing his poke balls releasing all of his new pokemon as well. Out of his came a Flygon, an Absol, a Dragonite, a Luxray, a Lucario, an Amphoras, a Salamance, and shiny Ninetails whose fur was pure white all but the tips of its tail that were a pale blue.

Dawn gasped "Ash their beautiful." She told him making him smile.

"Dawn I need you to recall your pokemon." She looked at him confused for a second before doing as he asked and recalling her pokemon. Ash them took a deep breath before grabbing a master ball off his belt and throwing it in the air releasing a Suicune. As soon as he was released Suicune walked over to Ninetails and nuzzled her.

Dawn was speechless "You have…have…" she couldn't finish her sentence as she looked up at him.

"Yeah I ran into him after I left. He was hurt really badly from some poachers I healed him and he decided he wanted to come with me, and he's been my pokemon ever since." Ash said smiling, grabbing Dawns hand and leading her to him. As they got closer Suicune stared at them wondering who Dawn was. When they were standing in front of him Dawn moved to hide behind Ash.

He smiled gently at her "It's ok he won't hurt you." He told her soothingly pulling her out in front of him wrapping his arms around her waist.

Dawn stared at Suicune for a few seconds before Ninetails nudged him gently and he leaned forward to sniff her face before licking it lightly. Dawn giggled and reached forward to run her hand through his fur. "See that wasn't so bad was it?" Ash asked her. Dawn turned and smiled at him continuing to stroke Suicune's fur.

They spent the rest of the day at Ash's cabin, just catching up on lost time. They talked, made love, and Dawn got to see all of Ash's other pokemon as well. When night fell they both fell asleep in each others arms, taking comfort in the fact that they were there together and would never be separated again.
