PLEASE READ v
Guess what, everyone! I give up!
:D
The plot was getting too hard for me to do and it felt more like work than fun. -.- So I have made an executive decison! There will be a new plot! We're not done with the diary entries; no, those will come in from time to time. But this new plot is a lot sillier, stupider, and way more fun! We're bringing Ash into the story! Whooo! And we're leaving the canon to go to the wackiness my imagination comes up with!
This is going to be all IKARISHIPPING FROM NOW ON. I wanted to do multiple ships, but that's too hard. -.- So it'll be Ikari, with hinted Pokeshipping just because I can. :D Sorry to all the other shippers, but this plot will be way more fun for me. :/
Enjoy the new plot!
-RD :D
Brock scanned the page with great enthusiasm. "Man, I love it when Dawn writes about her Contests! It's so beautiful!" he cried.
"What's so beautiful?"
Brock fell over, flat on his face.
When he got up, he came face-to-face with none other than Ash.
"Brock, is that Dawn's diary? Why are you reading it?"
"IT'S NOTHING!" Brock yelled, holding the pink book safely behind his back. Ash raised an eyebrow, not buying it. At all. "Alright…" The older boy gave a defeated sigh. "Yes, this is Dawn's diary. Yes, I'm reading it. Because it is just about the most interesting thing ever."
"Why?"
Brock looked around, eyes narrow. "…Where's Dawn?"
"Out training with Piplup. Why?"
"Ash, do you solemnly promise that you will not tell any living soul any of the information that I am about to divulge to you?"
"Um, sure?"
"Okay… Dawn likes Paul."
Ash fell over, flat on his face.
"What in the world?"
"I know it's hard to believe," Brock said with a nod. "But it's true. Just look at this!"
I feel like today, that battle, was good for both of them. And as I watched Paul walk away into the sunset, I decided that I really do like him after all.
Yay!
Ash could hardly believe his eyes.
"Dawn wrote that after you and Paul had your six-on-six battle at Lake Acuity. She really likes him."
"I don't get it."
"Don't get what?"
"What's so great about Paul?" Ash asked. "He's mean to me!"
"I think Dawn must have a thing for bad boys."
"But she's a nice girl!"
"Opposites attract?" Brock offered with a shrug. "You know, I kind of wish I had found Misty's diary. Then I could prove that she likes you back."
"W-who said I like her?" Ash stuttered, his face getting redder with every passing second.
"I did. But it doesn't matter, 'cause you just showed that you do. Now, Ash, since you have seen and heard all of this, you are now my accomplice."
"Accomplice in what?"
"Getting Paul and Dawn together, of course."
"I don't want to do that," Ash said, crossing his arms over his chest. "This is Dawn's business, not ours. We really shouldn't be getting involved."
"But…" Brock began, placing a hand under his chin. "This is love!" He suddenly wore that odd expression he wore whenever he saw a beautiful girl.
"Um, Brock, why do you care if it's not your love?"
"Because, Ash. I've been traveling around with you for a while now. In all that time, I still haven't managed to get a girlfriend. If I can't find happiness, someone should be able to!" Ash sighed as his friend rambled on. "Dawn will never be able to confess to Paul on her own. His stone-cold attitude will give her the fear of rejection!"
"Do you know this stuff because you've been rejected so many times?"
"No! I know because I'm experienced in the ways of women."
"You just said you can't get a date."
"ARGH! That's not the point! I know because I just know! She needs help! How happy do you think Dawn would be if she got together with Paul?"
"I don't know," Ash said with a shrug. "Happy, I guess."
"Good! Now, here's the plan."
Uh oh, they have a plan. D: What will Ash and Brock do next to try to hook Dawn up with her crush?
