~Dawn's Diary, Chapter Three~

"So that's what it's like being in a Pokémon Contest!" Brock said. "I never knew it could be so emotional! This is the best soap opera ever!"

Ash and Dawn had gone to sleep earlier. Brock had gone into the bathroom of their Pokémon Center room to read without them knowing. Taking the diary out of Dawn's bag was easy, much easier than what he had to do to get it sometimes.

Flipping through his new favorite book, he found a page he had been wondering about - that day back in the Oreburgh Gym.

It was quite the day. First, the trio had arrived in the city, then headed over to the Gym. There, they were informed that the Gym Leader was out. So then, they went to the coal mines to find Roark. Things could not progress, however, due to the fact that there was apparently a queue at the Gym. Paul was up first. The battle was interesting, but what happened afterward was much more so.

Dear Diary,

I am SO conflicted right now! Half of me wants to scream in happiness and the other wants to scream in anger!

So I was really excited because we got to see Paul's Gym battle against the Gym Leader Roark! I was really excited, because I had never seen a Gym battle before this! When Ash and Brock wanted to see Paul battle, it seemed like he was annoyed. But when I said I wanted to watch (because I really did!) he said that it was no problem! I was really happy. I have to say, I'm a bit of a fan of Paul right now - or more like was.

The battle was awesome! Paul won, but I expected that after the way he beat Ash last time they battled.

What made me want to scream was when Ash asked Paul if he was going to stay to watch his own battle against Roark. I don't know why Ash had to start something. He could have just left it alone and everything would have been fine.

But sadly, things did not play out that way.

I'll never forget those words; I know them backwards and forwards. They will probably be in my mind for a while, and I'll feel like punching something every time I think of them.

Pikachu and I jumped right in between them right as Ash was getting all riled up. I said,

"Alright, time out!" Then I turned to Paul. "You've already battled Ash once. Why not stay and watch?"

After telling them to knock it off, I saw Paul staring at me. My heart was beating like crazy hard and I don't know how I kept my cool. Then I said,

"What's wrong?" like a nice caring person! But what did I get? I got,

"What's wrong? Who are you?" I know he did not just forget me! I was ready to explode! So I said angrily,

"Well, excuse me, your rudeness, but we've met once before! The name's Dawn!" And he said,

"Don't remember." And that set me off.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, DON'T YOU?" I screamed. Then I hurled a few insults at him. I really did explode. I said,

"Listen, mister! You nasty, insulting, spoiled brat! Apologize!" I was about to do a Tackle attack myself on the guy! He did NOT forget me! I was so crazy mad! I would have shown him what for if it weren't for Brock holding me back!

And Brock sure was glad he did.

I wanted Paul to say he was sorry for forgetting me. But he didn't even seem fazed by what I did.

I think that's what hurt the most. The fact that after all I said, after all I did, after all the blowing up I did, he hardly acknowledged me.

What would have hurt him the most was what I was planning to do to his face.
