Well chapter 1 was awesome. This is an appropriate time to explain some things. One, some of Ash's and one of Dawn's Pokemon will be evolved and stronger. Also, I would like to point out that although this is not a romance story, feel free to consider the relationship between Ash and Dawn to be boyfriend girlfriend. Furthermore, the-

Shaymin: Can we keep going? Enough with the intro lets get on with it.

Me: SHAYMIN! You broke the 4th wall!

Shaymin: Fifth wall. We already broke the first, second, third, and fourth.

Me: I didn't say you could break the fourth-

Shaymin: Fifth!

Me: Whatever. Anyway, you can't get involved like this. The audience didn't ask for your opinion. I'm silencing you.

Ash: Thats kinda rude.

Me: ASH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

Shaymin: We're here because we can be.

Me: Look everyone stop. You guys have to be quiet or I will delete all you say.

Ash: Okay, fine. Can we please continue though?

Me: Yes. Sorry audience, these two really want to talk today. Maybe they won't appear next time. But anyway, lets continue.

Chapter 2 Unexpected Encounter

This is Ash Ketchum. He is a Pokemon trainer from Pallet town. In secret, he is a Pokemon master that has the power of Pokemon league champions. He has stopped crime lords, defeated legends, and saved the world on countless occasions. As he stared out at the harbor, he breathed in cool air of the summer breeze. He was relaxing, which was strangely unusual. He was used to traveling so much that he never thought about stopping somewhere and just being carefree. Now he actually had a chance to do nothing. No gym leaders to get stressed over, no need to go see another city, and maybe no Team Rocket even!

"I need a vacation." Ash sighed. He looked to his right to see his most trusted companion.

This is Pikachu. He is Ash's first Pokemon and one of Ash's greatest friends ever. They have worked side by side and never given up on each other. They fight with courage against any foe; they triumph over all obstacles thrown their way; they don't back down in defeat and work harder and harder; they are unbeatable.

Ash's companion sighed as his trainer patted its head. "What do you think, Pikachu? You think we got a chance at being champions someday."

"Pika." Pikachu nodded and Ash smiled. They stared out at the lake that surrounded the town, Ten'i Village. It was a small village that had surfaced from a valley that was once carved by glaciers. During an ice age, the ice sheets carved down the Sinnoh region and tore through mountains and pressed into the earth. The seas retreated and the ice cooled the entire region. Finally, when they retreated due to climate change, most of the earth became free of glaciers. Here by the Ten'i Village, there was still a glacier formation that peacefully resided here. It had long ago solidified with the mountains and was now harmless and dormant.

Wingull rested on rocks and the occasional Magicarp or Finneon jumped out of the water. It was beautiful here and Ash wouldn't forsake its beauty. He sat down on a bench and hummed softly as Pikachu sat next to him.

"Pikachu, Pika."

"You read my mind, Pikachu. I deserve a vacation. I don't need to become a Pokemon master immediately do I?" Ash laughed.

"Pika."

"Yep." The teen stretched his arms and sat in his bench comfortably. He enjoyed the sea breeze because it reminded him of Pallet town. The thoughts of his past sent him dozing off and he remembered his first few days as a trainer. Getting a disobedient Pikachu that refused to fight for him. Getting attacked by Spearow and stealing Misty's bike. Those were good times. They ended up becoming friends and together they travelled through the Kanto region, the orange archipelago, Johto, Hoenn, and now Sinnoh. After all his adventures, he was confident that he had the qualifications of a Pokemon master. He just needed to prove it someday. Until then, he would continue to travel and embark on new adventures. For all he knew, he was going to embark on one right now! He was interrupted by a tapping on his arm. He looked down and realized that he was dozing off. He got up and Pikachu watched him expectantly.

"Come on bud, lets get back to the others. Dawn and Brock are probably almost done cooking by now."Ash explained. His comrade jumped up and they started to walk at first, taking a peaceful stroll by the railing. A surge of energy sent him running and his comrade jumped down to run beside him. They felt alive and the wind rushed past them. Nobody was around and they were able to run freely down the sidewalk. When they reached the stairs to the central park, they were still filled with power and they charged up. They reached the top and saw their friends waiting for them.

"Made it. Just in time." Ash laughed.

"Not bad Ash, maybe next time you'll be two hours late." Brock chuckled.

"Maybe. Anyway is breakfast ready?" Ash asked.

"Pretty much. We baked Pancakes, that okay for you." Dawn smiled.

"Dawn, I'll eat anything if you guys say its good. But thanks for asking." Ash sighed. He started to walk over when Dawn stopped him.

"Did you wash your hands?" She questioned.

"Oh, yeah. Totally. I have always washed my hands from the moment I met you." Ash began, all the while hiding Pikachu behind him and rubbing his hands all over the mouse. Pikachu groaned as Ash did this and finally let out a thunder shock. Ash yelped from the shock and the hair on his head shot upwards. When the lightning mouse stopped he pulled him in front to give a defeated expression. "Yeah, I deserved that."

"Yes you did." Dawn agreed.

"Pika pi."

"But hey, no dirty hands now, huh. I'm clean." He laughed.

"Not your hair." Dawn laughed. The boy touched his electrocuted hair and began to pat it down. He groaned as he set himself straight and was thankful that Pikachu didn't burn his clothes. Sometimes the thunder shock mildly zapped him, sometimes it hurt him a little bit, and sometimes on rare occasions it practically caused him to lose consciousness. At least this time it only hurt a bit. He ironically had to wash his hands because of habit and he sat on a table. As the food sat on a table they decided to release their Pokemon. Dawn went first and released all of hers, Piplup, Ambipom, Buneary, Pachirisu, and Piloswine. Brock went second with Croagunk, Sudowoodo, and Happiny. Ash went last with his Staravia, Gliscor, Buizel, Torterra and Infernape. They all smiled and began to feed their Pokemon, unaware that a certain Pokemon was watching their food.

Shaymin watched from a distance, unsure how to proceed. He had managed to escape from the river by sliding onto a log and climbing to safety. But before that he had fallen down a waterfall, been chased by a Kingler, and bashed more rocks. He was still freezing and he felt somewhat sick. Still, he was feeling fit enough to travel and he had reached the picnic area. He had picked up the scent from miles away and he felt drawn by hunger. He didn't remember the last time he ate. He had been traveling for hours and found the scent of food irresistible. When he reached it, he realized that he had travelled into human settlement and that he was dangerously close to getting spotted by humans.

The food was sitting there, just tempting Shaymin to go and get it. His instincts told him not to. It was bait trying to lure him out. But at the same time it wasnt. The humans had left, they were gone. He struggled to decide and he weighed both options. He decided that even though it was risky, he might manage to sneak away with a little food, without being detected. He took the gamble and walked into the sunlight. He was only a few meters away and he quickly scurried under the table. He leaped onto the seat and then again onto the tabletop. He snaked behind a metal platter and watched a huge stack of pancakes. He saw the maple syrup dripping into the strawberries below and his mouth watered. He peaked his head out. All clear. He grabbed a pancake and started to munch on it like a Snorlax. He couldn't stop himself and he ate more and more. It was just too good! He was too into the moment to react to a gasp from far away.

Only when he saw them running to him did Shaymin freeze. He dropped whatever he was eating and backed up. A small penguin like creature jumped up and started to squeak at him. As it approached Shaymin bit down on its wing and the bird shrieked. Shaymin dashed over the food and during the chaos he jumped into the portable stove, not even caring if it was on or not.

Unfortunately, it was. Even worse, the moment Shaymin jumped into it, the lid fell down, trapping him. He cried out in pain as the hot grill began to burn his feet. "I can't die like this!" he thought with worry. He acted like he was being cooked alive and he jumped up and down like a panicked cat. He grimaced as he felt the stove shake and start to fall over.

"Oh, not good!" He thought with dread.

The stove collapsed and the entire picnic area was consumed in smoke. Ash, Dawn, and Brock all coughed from the smoke and shielded their eyes. What was happening, and who or what jumped into the portable stove? Ash felt the smoke start to clear and thought that it was disappearing into the sky. Suddenly he realized that it was not going up but rather behind him. Something was sucking it in. He turned around to see a flash of light. Then bang, like a TNT crate the oven blew up and a shockwave sent him spinning along with Dawn, Brock, and all the other Pokemon. "Something had CREATED an explosion!" Ash thought with shock. "What the hell was going on!"

That something started to get up and wanted to run. It didn't want to use Seed Flare but it had no choice. If he didn't he would have suffocated and died. He wondered if perhaps he had somehow blasted them away or worse killed them. When the smoke cleared, it revealed a scene of chaos. Three humans, two males and one female, were groaning from the blast with their assorted Pokemon. The Pokemon had bruises, burns, and other injuries from the explosion and several had swirls in their eyes. Some however were getting back up and they all angrily stared at Shaymin. They began to march in on him and Shaymin backed away, only to find his rear blocked as well by more Pokemon. Then he began to glow green. Magical leaves shot out and began to strike at the Pokemon. The scene became chaotic and Shaymin launched more and more magical leaves to attack. Most of the Pokemon were being sent scurrying away but some continued to advance. Shaymin started to get nervous when he felt his entire body getting zapped by a powerful thunderbolt. He screamed in agony and rolled away from the attack. When the lightning stopped he fell sideways and watched as the other Pokemon charged towards him, ready to retaliate.

Before they could strike Dawn stepped in front of Shaymin with her arms raised. The Pokemon stopped and backed away slowly. "Stop it! All of you, stand down." The Pokemon bowed in submission and Dawn turned around to face Shaymin. The Pokemon expected her to strike him or yell at him or scold him for being so reckless. Instead she stroked him and kindly asked. "Hey there, whats going on? Did they hurt you?" Shaymin nodded and felt somewhat better.

"My names Dawn, whats yours?"

Shaymin didn't know how to proceed but he decided to reply anyway. He didn't know if she was aware he could speak or not, but he didn't want to get into it yet.

"Shaymin." He replied. Somewhere, he heard a Pikachu say something negative and Shaymin landed on his feet and ran forward. He faced the mouse and angrily yelled at him.

"Why did you thunderbolt me? You could've killed me!" Shaymin screamed.

"Pi Pika!"

"Oh, you intended to kill me? Why thanks so much, by all means please continue!" All feelings of hostility returned and Shaymin began to charge more magical leaves. Pikachu charged a thunderbolt and they prepared to fight.

"Both of you stop it. We don't want to have any fighting. Pikachu, don't shock him." Dawn commanded. Pikachu stopped charging thunderbolt but still glared at Shaymin. Finally it backed off and ran towards Ash who watched the whole scene from a distance. He felt pity for the creature but didn't know why it was trying to steal their food. Dawn seemed much more caring and it picked Shaymin up gently and walked over to the sink. She used a towel and washed off the dirt on his body. He was much cleaner and he shook his body side to side when he was put down. He watched as the two men watched him intensely. One seemed older and had darker skin and brown hair. The other was younger, had black hair and was fair skinned. The Pikachu from earlier was on his shoulder and sill gave him strange looks.

"What are you, exactly?"

"Well for your information I'm Shaymin. Your average talking Pokemon." Shaymin smirked. He expected Ash to react with shock or surprise at his telepathic abilities, confident that he had never seen a Pokemon like him before. Instead, Ash stared with little reaction and Shaymin was the one who was surprised.

"What, no, "How are you talking, mysterious unknown creature?" You could've seen me before have you?"

"No, but I have ran into many other talking Pokemon so at this stage its not all that surprising. Sorry to spoil the fun." Ash callously replied. "I suppose I could act surprised for you."

"Dont patronize me." Shaymin silently replied.

"No worries, Shaymin." Ash smiled. "You did give us quite a shock earlier with your explosion."

"Did I hurt anyone?"

"No, at least not seriously."

"I'm not sure if I should be glad I didn't kill someone, or upset that my attack was so ineffective." Shaymin laughed.

"Oh don't worry, I'm sure you could have killed us if you tried." Ash replied.

"Well, nice knowing you, but I gotta go." Shaymin said. He leapt down and started to walk away when Dawn stopped him.

"Why?"

"I have to get to somewhere important." Shaymin coughed. He felt suddenly sick and felt weak. Dawn picked him up and felt his head. He was burning with a fever. "We have to take it to a Pokemon center!" She gasped.

"Yeah, here I'll hold it for you." Ash nodded. As he walked over to the Pokemon a leaf sprung out and sliced his arm. Ash had a stinging sensation in his arm and looked at his arm. His arm was exposed and a red line was running down it. Blood. He was attacked and the pain started to creep up his arm. "Ow!" Three more buzzed out and attacked the bleeding arm. More lines appeared and he screamed in pain. "OWWWWW!"

Brock grabbed a blue towel and tossed it on Shaymin. Ash rubbed his arm and grimaced in pain. The trainers returned their Pokemon and started to run to the Pokemon center, with Shaymin unwillingly being carried off. Dawn still carried Shaymin and Ash rubbed his arm. Now they had two patients. Things certainly got interesting.
