I think you guys already figured out who this mystery person is judging from the chapter name. Unfortunantly this is 2nd to the last daily update chapter I'm going to have before I start the weekly basis. :( Hope you guys enjoy the chapter as usual and apologize for the Gym battle. I'm a newbie at writing battle scenes so, yeah. Ok I will stop ranting and give you guys the time to read the chapter. This is short cause it's only focused on Dawn. Also I officially owe Guest 10 bucks! And for disclaimer, I don't own Pokemon.

Dawn Berlitz

Last Chapter

"Hey before we start this match mind telling me your name?" Sabrina asked me curiously.

"My name is..." I said as I released my Pokemon. I knew this was going to be a good day after all.

End of Flashback.

"My name is Dawn Berlitz and I'm from Twinleaf Town." I said as I released my first Pokemon who happens to be Piplup.

"Ok then Dawn, let's get this battle on shall we?" Sabrina said pumped up.

"Make the first move Dawn."

"Ok then, Piplup bubble beam!"

Piplup span up to the ceiling and bubbles started to spring out from it's beak. It hit Sabrina's Kadabra, but showing no serious damage to the Pokemon.

"Kadabra, Psychic!"

Kadabra eyes began to glow blue and that light formed around Piplup trapping him and lifting him high up, when the Kadabra thought the height was worthy enough; he dropped Piplup and Piplup landed with a thud on the Gym floor causing a ditch and a sandy mist.

"Piplup!"

Piplup lifted itself up from the ground showing bruises and cuts all over him. One eye was closed and one hand was down while the other was diagonal as if he was trying to get and balance himself. Kadabra looked with an amused expression seeing Piplup was still not unconscious. Hehe, that little penguin is stronger than you thought big guy. Kadabra waited for us to make our move and we will.

"Piplup use Ice Beam!"

Piplup jumped up high and opened it's beak letting thunder looking lines out but instead it freezes Pokemon. Kadabra was hit critically and Dawn used that time to call Piplup to use Drill Peck and Kadabra was unable to battle.

"Kadabra is unable to battle Piplup wins!"...(A/N I'm very sorry I don't know that rest of Sabrina's Pokemon so I'm going to stop here.)

"Can you believe it Piplup? We Won!" Dawn said excitedly. It was a very close call with Sabrina's last Pokemon and Togekiss. She held the ribbon up in the sun admiring it. She was only a few steps closer until she can finally meet Ash.

"Well off to Cinnabar Island!"

Shockingly we got to Cinnabar Island faster than we thought. I went to the Pokemon Center to ask where the Gym might be and the Nurse Joy told me there was no Gym. What? There's gotta be. Did they move it somewhere.

"Man Piplup I thought we were on a roll here." I said as I sighed. Where might the Gym be? Oh well this Dawn never gives up. Then suddenly I remember something Ash told me about the Gym here.

Flashback

"Whoa Ash, that's a lot of badges!"

"Yeah, did you know in the Kanto ones there, the 7th badge, you have to solve a mystery to find it."

"Really? What kind."

"Well, there is this riddler, if you find him he will tell you the location of the new Gym. He might look like a hippie of some sort, but you'll find out who he truly is."

"Oh."

End of Flashback

That's it! I need to find a hippie looking guy who likes riddles! Well that's easier said than done cause everybody here looks like hippies.

"Excuse me there young lady would you like to hear a riddle of mine?"

"Uh yeah, sure."

"This town used to be peaceful until it became a tourist trap, there lies a building where firefighters can't defeat the fire."

"Oh, isn't that..." I said as I looked up to the volcano. Wait, volcano, that's it! That's where the new Gym is cause obviously Firefighters can't fight the fire in a volcano!

"It's a Volcano sir!"

Very well young lady you are one of the few to solve that mystery quick. For your reward I will challenge you in that volcano tomorrow. I am Blaine the Gym Leader of Cinnabar Island. See you soon." Blaine said as he ran off.

"Can't you believe it Piplup we found the Gym Leader and he offered to battle me!"

"Piplup!"

As I was walking I bumped into someone with a hood covering his. He looked very mysterious and when he saw me he suddenly tensed up.

"I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was walking!" I said apologetically. Who is this guy?

"Me too, I'm sorry." Then suddenly a Pikachu came out of his shoulders and peeked out wondering what was wrong.

"Buneary!"

"Buneary what are you doing out of your poke ball! Get back in there!" I said embarrassed. The guy chuckled at me thinking it was funny, but it only made my face more beet red. As I tried to put Buneary back into it's poke ball she jumped to dodge it and hugged Pikachu like she knew it.

"Buneary!" Phew! finally I got it back into it's poke ball.

"Sorry about that, my Buneary loves to jump over Pikachus. My name is Dawn by the way." I said as I outstretched my hand to the guy. He shook it but when I asked for his name he wouldn't answer. Double mysterious.

"Hey, you know one of my friends also has a Pikachu. I miss him a lot." I said tearing up.

"Oh, really my friends abandoned me. I don't know what it feels like to have friends anymore." The guy said. More tears came out of my eyes.

"Really? That's what my friends did to that friend of mine who has a Pikachu. Obviously I left them saying they were traitors and why would they call themselves his friends. I'm actually been in Kanto for 5 years fighting the Gyms so I can meet him in the League. I really miss him."

"Wow. That friend of yours must be lucky to have a friend like you. You actually came here to challenge the Gyms for him? Wow, I'm speechless." The guy was now in tears also but it was mostly covered by his hood.

"Uh-huh, I'm waiting for tomorrow so I can challenge the Gym here."

"Hey, if you don't mind can I watch?"

"Sure! Why not?"

"Ok, see ya tomorrow."

"See ya!" I said as I waved off. I felt something very familiar with that guy, but oh well.

Satoshi's POV

"We found a friend Pikachu, we found a true one."

"Pikachu."

I couldn't tell her, I just couldn't tell her it was me. I was too moved that she's actually doing all these Gym battles for me. Oh well, maybe tomorrow I will tell her who I am if she wins the Gym Battle with Blaine. I will tell her. Cause out of everyone.

She's the one I loved the most.

Awwww! That's so sweet of you Satoshi! Sorry about the lateness of this chapter. Something's coming up and it's called school. Ughh. I had to go schoool shopping yesterday so I couldn't update. Maybe if you guys are lucky enough I might upload the next chapter tonight or early tomorrow if I actually get typin' on my iPod. You guys know the drill! ~Ri-Ri out!
