Dawn woke up suddenly. What an awful dream! Ash had gotten beat up by Paul. Thank god it was just a dream. Paul is too sweet to do something like that. But still, it seemed so real. Maybe I should go check on Ash just in case.

She started to get up and Paul woke up.

"Hon, where are you going?"

"I need to check on Ash."

"Why?"

"This is gonna sound really retarded, but I had a nightmare involving him. It seemed so real. I'll be quick. I promise."

Paul thought quickly on his feet. It's dark outside. She won't see the bruise. "Okay Dawn. I'll come with you too!"

"Great! Thanks!" Dawn gave him a little kiss on his lips.

Just wait Paul, in a few minutes, you'll have more than just a peck!

They both went outside. To Paul's advantage, there was no moon. The only thing was bright was Dawn's white night dress. His tee-shirt and jeans were barely visible.

Dawn opened Ash's tent and saw him lying there with Pikachu next to him.

"PIKACHU!"

Dawn whispered, "Pikachu be quiet. You don't want to wake Ash up!"'

Pickachu ran up to Paul and started pointing and him and signaling at him.

Dawn didn't understand what was going on. "Pikachu, go back in the tent right now." Pikachu didn't give up, though. He just kept on jumping. Paul didn't want Dawn to figure out what Pikachu was trying to say, so he picked the POKEMON up and threw him into the tent. Dawn quickly zipped it up.

"I wonder what got into Pikachu." Dawn wondered.

"Probably just exhausted from today's long walk. Come on let's go back in the tent."

"Wow, it looked like Ash wasn't breathing. His chest wasn't moving.

"Uh... You were probably just hallucinating.

Dawn nodded and they went back. Something didn't seem right to her.

Both were sitting up in the tent. It's now or never! Paul turned to and sat face to face with Dawn. He took her left hand again and began.

"Dawn, as I was trying to tell you, before Ketchum..."

"His name is Ash."

"Okay sorry, before Ash interrupted. I want to tell you that you are the one for me. I love you so much! I want to always be with you!"

"Really? I feel the same way about you."

She leaned forward to kiss him. Paul did the same. Dawn just wanted a short kiss, so she pulled away after a few seconds. Paul didn't want to stop. After she pulled away, he kissed her again and pushed her down on her back. At first Dawn struggled, but then she got more and more passionate about the kiss.

Paul needed to go further. He started biting her bottom lip begging to open. Dawn did as he asked. Paul's tongue crawled around and pushed around painfully. Now to move on to the next stage.

His hand went under her nightgown and up.

Dawn got up. "Whoa, what do you think you're doing?"

"Come on babe, just a little. Can I just touch a little bit. I'm not saying to go extreme."

"Fine." Dawn's laid back down and Paul started to touch her again. She wasn't wearing a bra. He just kept on touching.

Dawn was confused. It didn't feel right to her. Paul was acting really weird. Paul started to get more violent. It then occurred to Dawn. Ash was right! All Paul wanted to do was rape girls and abuse people. It was true then. Ash wasn't breathing. Was he... Tears started falling down Dawn's eyes.

She jumped up. "GET OFF OF ME!"

"What's wrong?"

"ASH WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU! ALL YOU WANT TO DO IT HURT PEOPLE!"

"No babe, you got it all wrong!"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Dawn shrieked.

"NO! YOU'RE MINE NOW!" Paul bellowed. He kept trying to push her back, but she kept on getting back up. She couldn't take it anymore! She slapped him right across the face.

"You shouldn't have done that! Once I'm done with you, you're gonna join Ash and end up just like him!"

"NO!" Dawn sobbed and tried to pull open the tent. She was able to make it outtise, but Paul grabbed her hand. "NO ASH! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! ASH! ASH! WHAT HAVE I DONE? I'M SORRY ASH! I WAS SO BLIND! NO! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I'M SO SORRY! YOU WERE RIGHT THE WSH! I'M SO SORRY!" Dawn screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Shut up already! You belong to me! You love me!" Paul pulled her back and she fell in the dirt. "This is too annoying. Once I finish you off, this will be so much easier." Just like with Ash, he kicked her in the stomach. Dawn yelled at the top of her lungs. It was cut off by Paul kicking her in the face. Dawn closed her eyes and didn't make another sound.

Brock ran out from his tent. "Paul, what have you done!" he shouted.

"What do you care? Go back and cook!" Paul replied coldly. As he was dragging Dawn back inside his tent, while Brock ran to Ash's tent. When he opened it, Ash wasn't there.

"ASH! WHERE ARE YOU?" Brock bellowed. Paul came back outside.

"He's dead. Along with your little friend Dawn!" Paul laughed. Brock face was red with rage. Suddenly he smiled. Paul looked confused.

"What are you smiling about? You just found out that 2 of your friends are dead!" Paul asked.

"Think again," Brock replied quietly.

"Miss me?" came a familiar voice.

Paul looked behind him. Ash was standing there good as ever.

"Let's finish this Paulie, old school!" Ash punched Paul in the jaw. Paul screamed in pain and fell into the dirt. Ash kicked him in the back. More screams were heard from Paul.

"Now Pikachu, THUNDERBOLT!" Ash yelled.

"PIKA-CHU!" A huge thunderbold came out of Pikachu and shocked Paul. He stopped moving.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Brock questioned.

"He doesn't deserve death. Officer Jenny will deal with him." Ash smiled then it quickly faded. "Where's Dawn?"

"She's in Paul's tent." Ash rushed in. Dawn was lying on her sleeping bag. She wasn't breathing.

"COME ON BROCK, WE NEED TO GET HER TO A POKEMON CENTER FAST!" Ash shouted. He picked her up bridal style.

"There's one a mile from here. We passed it today."

"COME ON! THERE'S NO TIME TO LOSE!" Ash yelled.

"You go. You're much faster than me! I'll just slow you down. I'll see you there in the morning, pal."

Ash nodded and with Dawn in his arms, he ran south.

Please don't be dead!
