Ugh. It took me forever to get around to writing this (writing it wasn't hard). I'm so incredibly lazy when it comes to this story. I glad for my readers and reviewers. They're the only thing that keeps me from dropping this. =.=
Despite my annoyed little rant there, enjoy the story!

~Dawn's Diary, Chapter Five~
Today we went fishing at a river near Eterna City. We were looking for a Buizel that was rumored to be in the area, and we wanted to see if we could find it. It started out pretty calm.
Ash showed me this lure that looked like a girl, and said he got it from his friend, Misty. According to Brock, she's the Gym Leader in Cerulean City. I wanted to use it, but NO! Ash says I can't. And he couldn't even come up with a good reason either. He wouldn't even let me when I started yanking on his rod! Does he have a crush on this girl or something? Sheesh.
Brock laughed upon reading this. He had always wondered the same thing.
He turned a few more pages until he found another interesting entry.
I saw Paul again today. We were watching a battle between the Elite Four Champion, Cynthia, and Elite Four Member Lucian on a TV in the Pokémon Center. Some people were talking about Cynthia being in Hearthome City's Amity Square, so we headed down there as fast as we could, hoping we could see her. Soon, we saw Paul standing in the crowd. Then he did the craziest thing ever! He challenged Cynthia to a battle! I was pretty shocked. I mean, Paul's a good Trainer and all but there's no possible way he can beat the Champion of the Sinnoh region. Not at this point, at least.
It was a fast battle. Paul backed out after four of his Pokémon got crushed just by Cynthia's Garchomp! I guess that's what it means to be Champion of the Pokémon League. You've got to have serious skill to back up that title.
We all went to the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy had to operate on a Pokémon, so Cynthia decided to treat Paul's Pokémon herself. Brock volunteered to help her.
Cynthia told Paul that all his Pokémon were well trained, especially Torterra. Paul said that was because Torterra was his first Pokémon. I was impressed. It did battle well. Paul then said that he'd traveled all over Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn before coming back to Sinnoh. I think he's more like Ash than he admits. Then, Cynthia said something nice about Chimchar, but Paul just pointed out how badly his Pokémon did in battle. Ash said Paul didn't care how many of his Pokémon got hurt in that match. Paul seemed indifferent and Ash asked why. Paul said his Pokémon would get spoiled and not do well in battle, and Chimchar was an example of this. Ash just got angrier and talked about how we need to support our Pokémon.
Because of Ash and Paul's argument, Cynthia took us all back to a stone tablet in Amity Square, saying that before she read it, she used to train a lot, but then she realized that all Pokémon are different and she wanted to get to know them.
When we were going back to the Center, we saw none other than Team Rocket with Paul's injured Chimchar! We chased them but they began to get in that stupid balloon of theirs. Luckily, Paul thought fast and called out his Ursaring, who used Hyper Beam to send Team Rocket blasting off again!
But then, Paul called Chimchar "useless" for getting caught. I told him that it wasn't Chimchar's fault-the Pokémon was sleeping! But Cynthia said that the only thing that mattered was that Chimchar was okay. And I had to agree.
So that was today. I'm going to go to sleep before Ash or Brock sees me writing. If one of them read this, I'd just about die.
Brock felt a large pang of guilt as he sincerely hoped Dawn wouldn't die.
