Hi, guys! Author-san is on the late side again, but I've been very busy! My school did the Wizard of Oz for our school musical, so practices started taking up my Saturdays (the main day I have to write). And then I had finals. But now, school's out, and I present you with not one, but TWO new chapters!

Enjoy~

Dawn's Diary

Chapter Fifteen

.x.x.x.

Barry and Brock had stopped for an Icee break.

Because everyone needs an Icee.

Anyway.

Barry and Brock were enjoying their Icees when they watched a familiar duo go by. One had purple hair. One had blue.

Brock smiled at Barry. "Operation HUD is back on!"

In an attempt to be stealthy, Brock and Barry followed Dawn and Paul to a forest clearing.

"What is this?" Barry whisper-yelled as they settled behind a hopefully inconspicuous bush. "They're ALONE!"

"Go, Pachirisu!" Dawn called out, throwing her Poké ball into the air with much enthusiasm. At the same time, Paul sent out his Electivire.

"Is that even a fair battle?" Brock asked skeptically.

Apparently it wasn't, because in a matter of seconds, Electivire had fired off a Thunder attack that sent Pachirisu blasting off in a Team Rocket-like fashion.

"No!" Dawn called after her Pokémon as it comically flew into the woods. Paul was about to apologize for blowing up her Pokémon when a fuming Dawn turned to face him. "YOU!" she screamed. "This is all your fault! Now Pachirisu's lost!" She stomped a foot down, making the ground shake. Paul briefly wondered how that was possible, but he didn't wonder for too long, because Dawn's accusation had put him on the defensive.

"It's not my fault!" he yelled.

"Yeah, so it's my fault your Pokémon is a giant powerhouse that blew up my Pokémon?" she asked, still fuming.

"Is is my fault your Pokémon is so weak?" he shot back. Normally, he'd brush something like this off. He wasn't sure why he was letting Dawn get to him so much.

"Ooh, tension," Barry whispered in the bushes.

"I can't believe Ash is missing this!" Brock exclaimed.

"UGH!" Dawn cried. "Come on," she said, grabbing Paul by the wrist. "We're going to look for Pachirisu."

Barry and Brock popped out of the bush. "Ooh, this is getting good!" said Brock. "Let's follow them!"

"Yeah!" Barry heartily agreed. "Goin' into the HUD!"
