You're The Reason

by: Season Of Magic

{-}

What exactly had occurred inside the laboratory while everyone else was outside?

It turned out to be that in all that time they spent inside the conference room all the gym leaders, champions and elite four members could not come up with any reason to cause an alarm against team plasma.

Nothing was really resolved and things were left up to fate, or as Drake had put it "Only time will tell what is going to happen. For now it is best we go with our lives as normal as we can"

"So what you are telling me is that Ghatsis and N might be walking around all these different regions and we're not going to do a single thing about it?" Ash said, not believing what everyone had agreed to.

"There's nothing we can do Ash." Cynthia said.

"Look I know you're worried but trust me we're all taking drastic measures to ensure the safety of everyone across the regions. We just don't know what team plasma might or might not do the best to do until then is just wait it out." Alder said via the video phone.

As soon as they had heard what was going on Cilan and Iris rushed to Kanto. While they were gone Iris had no other option but to give Trip the role as the eight gym leader and Alder had gone back to being the champion for a bit.

"But...but..."

Brock stood up and placed a hand on Ash's shoulder. "I know you're worried about what could happen to Dawn if team plasma finds out you're dating her but trust me we're not going to let them hurt her."

Misty smiled and nodded "Her party will go on as normal too just with a few added security measures."

"We're all invited" Wallace said with a grin "We've come to an agreement and that is to keep a lookout for anything suspicious."

Misty glanced towards Ash "See? You have nothing to worry about Ash."

To keep Ash from making any harsh decisions while he was upset Brock dragged him out the room to calm down. Misty, Cilan and Iris quickly followed and that was how they got outside to find the rest arguing and playing cards.

Two days had passed and everyone was currently in the port waiting for their boat to dock.

"Does everyone have their ticket?" Wallace asked as he waved his around.

"Yes!" everyone eagerly responded as they waved their ticket around too.

"Good! The boat should get here in forty five minutes or so. You can walk around but you all better be back at this spot in no less than half an hour there's too many people to keep track of and I'm sure none of you want to get left behind."

Everyone was anxiously awaiting the boat that would come pick them up and leave them in Twinleaf town where they would stay for a few days at Johanna's place and then leave in a ferry to Lake Valor, where Dawn's party was going to be held.

"It's like a mini-vacation." Melody said as she placed her sunglasses on, the sun was bothering her.

"Have you ever even left Shooti island since I last went there?" Ash asked confused.

"Not really which is why I'm enjoying this week to the fullest." Melody stated and everyone laughed.

"There's nothing better than spending time with your friends and family." Delia stated from the bench she was currently sitting in.

"Mom and professor Oak hardly ever leave Pallet Town so I'm guessing they're as excited as Melody." Ash whispered to Dawn.

"I don't understand why you're all making such a big deal about my birthday." Dawn said

"Are you kidding?" Zoey responded "Your birthday will be the talk of the year."

"More like of the century," Kenny retorted back "Dee-Dee's party attracted not only Kanto, Hoeen and Sinnoh gym leaders, champions and elite fours but even some from Unova as well."

"Only the best for my Dawn." Johanna gushed.

"Mom you're embarrassing me."

"Sorry sweetie."

Yes, Johanna had come to Kanto from Sinnoh to join in the festivities with the rest of the crew. "Wouldn´t miss this trip for the world." she had said as she flew in to Pallet a few days prior.

"I'm guessing we're all staying here in the port until the boat comes?" Max said as he waved his ticket in his face trying to cool himself down.

"Yeah little brother it seems we are." May said.

"Good because I don't want to walk around anymore."

"I don't think any of us want to." Zoey said.

"As soon as we get in the boat I'm unpacking and heading straight to the Jacuzzi to relax!" May said

"I second that." Zoey said high fiving May.

"I might as well stay in the room. As the water gym leader I can say I'm tired of water."

"Oh no you don't! We're having girls hang out and that means where one goes the others go as well." Dawn responded.

"Oh come on Dawn all I want is just to relax." Misty complained.

"And what better way to relax than to sit in the beach chairs soaking up the sun?" Melody responded

"Yeah!" May, Dawn and Zoey said.

Daisy shook her head "No sister of mines will stay cooped up in the room like a tuna fish."

"If I hear you stayed locked up in the room I'm giving you double gym leader duties." Violet said.

"No allowance for you either." Lily added.

"You're all so mean!" Misty complained.

"That's the sensational sisters for you." Ash said laughing.

"Everyone the boat arrived pick up your luggage and make sure you have your ticket at hand." Wallace said.

"Wow this is even better than the St. Anne." Ash said gasping as he saw the boat.

It was big, at least four or five stories high. The paint was white with gold lines all around.

"I thought we agreed to never talk about that incident!" Jesse, James, Brock and Misty said together glaring at Ash.

Yes, even Jesse and James were coming along for the trip. Everyone thought it was best to have team rocket in plain sight than to have to keep wondering what they were up to.

"Okay fine I'm sorry." Ash said as he kept gaping at the size of the ship, until he was pushed into the boat by James. "Hurry it up twerp the line isn't going to move by itself!"

"Alright walk in an orderly fashion. Ladies first please." Wallace said as he kept the line moving towards the boat.

{-}

"Is everyone present and accounted for?" Lance said glancing around as everyone gathered by the lobby.

"Whoever is not here say I" Ash said

"Ash! Now isn't the time for your jokes." Dawn said hitting him in the arm lightly.

"Okay, okay."

"So where are we going to be located at anyways?" May asked, she had placed her ticket in her purse already.

"Oh that's easy we all have the top floor to ourselves." Johanna stated.

"What! Mom you're kidding right?" Dawn said surprised

"I don't think she is Dawn" Ash said sheepishly "I have cabin 605 along with James, Paul. Drew, Cilan, Gary and Brock."

"We're cabin 606!" Melody exclaimed happily as she looked at her ticket.

"Who's we?" May said

"Dawn, May, Jesse, Bianca, Misty, Melody, Mitari and Iris." Delia said as she pointed to a paper she had which stated the room orders.

"What? Then where are you staying at Zoey?" Dawn asked as she peeked at Zoey's ticket.

"I wanted my own room. Don't worry you'll see me around sooner or later." Zoey replied back

"Max, where are you located?" May asked his younger brother.

"With professor Oak and Tracey," Max said with a grin on his face and May sighed in relief. "this is going to be awesome!"

"Mom not that I'm glad that we're all going to be bunking together or anything at all but was it really necessary for everyone to stay in the top floor?" Dawn said.

"Sweetie when you can do something, do it."

"Mom..."

"Okay fine I persuaded the personnel to switch our rooms around and put us all together in the same floor."

"Mom..."

"Okay I bribed them happy!"

"That's even worse."

"No time to think about that come on lets go unpack and relax. We are only going to be here for a few days let's make the best of it." May said as she dragged Dawn to the closest elevator she could find.

"We don't even have our keys yet."

Brock laughed and tossed each of them a card "Catch."

"What are these?" May asked curiously

"That is the key to your cabin don't lose them." Johanna yelled out.

"Wait for us!" "Twerps!" Jesse, Bianca, Misty, Melody, Mitari and Iris said as they each grabbed a card Johanna was handing out to them and then ran to the elevator with their luggage as fast as they could.

{-}

Dawn, May, Jesse, Bianca, Misty, Melody, Mitari and Iris could only stare in awe as the elevator stopped in the sixth floor.

As they walked further down they felt as if they had stepped into the waiting room of a rich mansion.

"Our cabin is 606 right? Then that is us right there." May said as she pointed to a door.

Dawn took her card and placed it in the slot near the doorknob. The color turned green and the door slided open, the lights and the ceiling fan turned on as well.

"This is our room?" Jesse could only wonder out loud as she walked in and set her luggage down."It looks more like a penthouse if you ask me."

"If this is a dream no one wake me up!" Melody said and Iris pinched her lightly in the arm. "Ouch! Okay I'm not dreaming." she said as she glared at Iris.

The room which apparently was only the living room was decent sized and is a light peach color. It also had a chandelier in the middle, a white table was set in the farthest corner of the north side facing the balcony along with four chairs and a few more set up around the room.

"There's actually a letter for all of us here." Dawn said as she walked up to the dresser and picked up the paper with their names written in it.

Hey girls, hope you're all enjoying the room so far. There's only a few rules I have to go over with you guys.

If you want to contact anyone's cabin all you have to do is dial their cabin number on the telephone.

Breakfast is served from 7am-11am, lunch is from 12-4 and dinner is at 7pm. If you miss any of these times a snack bar is open 24hours in the main floor but if you are feeling too lazy you can call room service. No they won't charge you for anything, I already paid in advanced for the all-package.

Lights out are at midnight every day and you better be in your rooms by then, someone will check up on you that I can promise.

Well that's it and I hope you enjoy the trip girls.

-Johanna

"Dawn your mom is awesome." Mitari said as she glanced out the window.

"Yeah I guess you can say that." Dawn responded back.

"Come on Dawn we're bunking together." May said as she pushed Dawn towards the master bedroom.

The cabin had four rooms in total and in the end the living arrangements were as follows. May and Dawn in one room, Misty and Bianca in the other, Melody and Jesse, Mitari and Iris.

Melody was a bit unnerved by her room partner and it had taken a lot of coaxing by the rest of the girls for her to come to terms that she had to share a room with Jesse.

"If you try anything, anything at all you're dead! Got it?"

"Okay guys stop arguing and start unpacking we've got a ship to explore." May yelled out

The phone rang and Mitari whom was still in the living room was the one whom picked it up.

Hello? Yes this Cabin 606 Mitari said and she laughed. Oh sure hang on! and she covered the phone "Dawn it's for you."

Dawn walked into the living room confused. "Who could it be?" and she picked up the phone curiously. Hello?

Want to meet me for lunch in half an hour? I'm almost done unpacking.

I haven't even began to unpack yet.

Okay fine I'll give you one hour that'll give you enough time to unpack and get ready.

Dawn laughed. Fine I'll see you in an hour she said and then hanged up.

"Looks like someone has a date." Mitari said pointing knowing fingers at Dawn.

Dawn blushed and threw a pillow at her. "Oh shush." she said laughing.

"What's this about Dawn having a date?" May asked as she peeked her head from out the room.

"Guys did you hear what Mitari said? Dawn is going on a date!" Zoey said.

Everyone walked out their respective rooms and rushed towards Dawn.

"What are you still doing here girl? Go take a shower so you can get ready." Iris said as she ushered her to the bathroom with a towel.

"I'll get your clothes." May said

"I'll get started on makeup." Misty

"I'll do her hair." Melody said

"It's not a date guys!" Dawn said from the bathroom, which went as if it was unheard by the rest of the girls.

Unpacking their luggage went momentarily forgotten to everyone as they were in Dawn and May's room searching for clothes and other stuff for Dawn.

"I think we're all going to be great friends" Misty said as she glanced around the room at the other girls and then stared at Jesse "Why aren't you helping us out?"

Jesse could only stare at all the commotion amusedly. "The twerpette said it wasn't a date."

"Ash invited her to go with him." Mitari said "That sounds like a date to me."

Jesse sighed and went towards the phone and dialed the boys cabin number. James is that you?

Yeah it's me is something the matter Jesse?

Listen the girls here are all making a big deal about the twerp asking the twerpette out. What's all this about?

What are you talking about?

The twerpette and twerp are going on a date.

You have it all wrong they are not going on a date.

Wait what?

We're all going out to eat not just Ash and Dawn.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah we're all getting ready. I thought you all would be too by now.

I see. Thanks James, I'll tell them to get ready now then and then she hanged up "See you're all making a fuzz over nothing." Jesse said as she walked to the master bedroom "Everyone is going out to lunch not just the twerpette and twerp."

Everyone dropped what they were doing and looked at Jesse. "What?"

"They're all getting ready as in every single one of them not just the twerp."

Everyone rushed to their respective rooms yelling things like "Oh no this is bad." "This is going to be a disaster." "I should have paid attention to Dawn!"
