Chapter Two

Dawn looked up at the ceiling as she heard Reggie, getting ready to Leave, better get up she thought to her self. She walked down the Stairs to see Reggie come back in for his Last Bag, he looked at her hen the clock

"Kind of early don't you think," he said to her,

'Kind of early don't YOU think," she mocked

"I guess you are right, but have to be there by Lunch and with the snow and all it's a good idea to leave early,"

"I guess, just be careful, please,"

"I Plan on it, Little one," he said before ruffling up her hair and walking out the door

Dawn felt a furry object rub against her leg, Persion had woke up.

"Are you alright, you look kind of down,"

'Yeah, guess it would have been nice if he would have had breakfast with me, but I guess nothing can be done of it now, so what would you like to do, I'm wide wake now,"

"How about we watch some TV, that's what me and Paul do when he gets up real early and cant sleep,"

"Do you miss Paul,"

"Yes very much, he comes home every once and a while but he doesn't stay long, and by the time her gets here and leaves they was hardly anytime for him to hang out with most of us,"

'Oh, I'm sorry,"

"Its ok, now anyway lets watch some TV, now,"

Dawn flipped threw the channels but soon she felt tired and lonely, she moved away from Persion and walked up to Paul's room, she walked in and Closed the door, she walked over to the desk and looked at the picture in the frame sitting on its own. With it under the dust was a picture of a young Paul, a happy Sneasle and a Turtwig setting out on their adventure. Dawn looked around the walls, then saw sitting on the bed was a photo album, she was egger to look in it but decided against it, and left the room. Once she was outside, she met Electivire, he was staring at her, before looking at the door.

"You miss him don't you,"

"What nonsense me miss Paul,"

"Then why were you in that room, and why did you walk out with a face of sadness on,"

Dawn looked at him funny, only to be met by a "I know you do look"

"Yeah I kind of do, I guess I got use to see him every once and awhile, but now I never see him,"

"Yeah, join the club,"

'So when do they eat breakfast,"

"10, come on you need to eat,'

"Alright, fine,"

As Dawn walked down stairs she begin to do Like she use too and made her breakfast, and got dressed, and then at ten she feed everyone, before training her own pokemon, before going inside and resting inside, when it was time to feed again, she felt like in just one day alone, she done this a thousand times, and felt bored.

"I thought I would enjoy this, but for some reason I feel like I want to go home,"

Dawn watched everyone eat, but decided to leave them out and play around, but in the commotion of it all, she didn't notice Treecko run off.

Treecko was digging in the fridge when he heard the door open, and saw his master standing there. Treecko took to a running start and dog pilled his master, before Paul picked him up, and looked around the house.

'Reggie, I'm home, Reggie,"

"He's not here, Master, he had to go to Snowpoint,"

"WHAT then who's taking care of you guys,"

"He got us a babysitter, she sings you lullabies. Dawn, she out back,"

"WHAT TROUBLESOME, what! Where,"

Treecko Lead Paul to the back yard, where Paul froze solid he looked strait ahead, he felt his breath catch, and he felt heat rush to his cheeks.

"Troublesome," he choked out,

She was standing with her back to them and her arms were wrapped around herself, her hair was flowing in the air, and Persion was sitting beside her, and all his pokemon were playing. He moved slowly towards her. Once he was behind her he felt something get caught in his throat,

'Troublesome, what are you doing here,"

"OMG PAUL," she flung herself at him, and wrapped around him.

"Wha-,"

"I've missed you, how have you been," she asked him

"Fine, I've…Missed u too?,"

"Don't lie, well umm Reggie had work to do and all and I got called to baby-sit and I've only been here a day, so that's why umm, I may not be doing it right, you can go ahead an yell at me,"

"Yell, no reason, too, for once your doing everything ok, so what is for supper,"

She looked at him funny, "Ramon in a cup,"

"Fine, not a meal, but I guess, so how long is my brother suppose to be gone, hmmm,"

"Ugh, a week or two, are you ok, you seam out of it,"

"Nope I'm fine, just glad to be home,"

"Right, well I'm going to sit on the porch,"

"Well I'm going to change, be right back,"

Dawn sat on the porch as Paul left, and returned ten minutes later in a white tank top, and some black knee shorts. Dawn felt her face get hot as she checked him out.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare," she said

"No problem?, now where is my girl," he asked her

"Your Girl,"

"Yeah about knee high, cream colored fur, has a pink bandana on,"

'Ow, Persion, she was just here,"

Just as Paul turned away from Dawn to look for Persion, the cat jumped from the roof, and landed on top of Paul. Dawn Laughed as the cat jumped up in down on her trainer. Before Paul begun to grab and shake her head the cat was nipping and jumping around., Paul was then ran over by a Arcanine, and Two Charizards.

"Be careful you guys," Dawn said as Paul was Caught in the middle of a war zone,

Treecko moved to be in Dawn's lap as Persion moved and sat on the porch railing beside her.

Persion Looked at Dawn as she watched Paul.

"He sure is acting different, I wonder why,"

"He is always like this, this is Paul. Yes he may have a good cold outer shell, but trust me, he is really kind of a goof ball under it all, in a way. You see we all earned our ranks to him, and we had them from the start, only the stubborn ones get the harsh training, the rest of us get a stroll threw easy street, it ok to have the harshness every once in awhile, but you see when Master found me I was weak, and pathetic he worked with me little by little, and I got stronger and before long, I was his girl. Just Like the rest of them, The two Charizards use too sing when they were Chamanders, Treecko never wanted to evolve so master crafted that bracelet out of Leather and a ever stone, Turtwig use to be the BIGGEST chicken, and Sneasle use to be one hyper active pokemon, and had a thing for running off, each one of us have a story, each one more and more different then the Last, yet all us misfits where loved by him,"

"But, why did every time I see him, he look so mad, at his partners and put them threw harshness beyond their limits,"

"Yes, true but you see Paul is from Sihno and he knew everything he did would get back to Reggie, a lot faster, and even thou Reggie had disappointed Paul a few times in Life, one thing Master never wanted was to disappoint his brother, and each time he lost in Sihno it didn't make him mad, it made him upset. But for once I was terrified by my master, he wasn't the same, as he use to be, and the man I looked up too was gone," Persion Looked at Dawn and Smiled

"Then he called one day and told me about you, and how when he saw you he felt better, you had that spark, like all of us have, he said he looked at you and saw everyone who were waiting for him back home, and he felt better, and then he told us about Ash, and how he had the drive to keep going, each time he beat him he called us and told us, detail by detail, it was what we all waited for, Master to call and be happy, I hated it when he said he was finally challenging Sihno it scared me, I knew it would happen and I didn't want it too, Weavile and Torterra knew it too, they saw it too, he changed he was more serious, he snapped more, and he snapped at them, and we all felt helpless, none of us were pleased with our self, each one of us blamed ourselves,"

Persion Looked at Paul, he was loving on Houndoom, and Mightyena, and Zangoose, as everyone else was playing around, Absol was running loops around Paul with a red bandana, and Rapidash was bucking around, Pokemon were jumping up and out of the water, the sky was full of different shapes and sizes. Dawn felt kind of out of place like she was invading, before she knew it, she was crying. She wiped her eyes as Persion continued,

"But after the finals he came home, and he wasn't mad, he was happy, he spend a whole week at home, and did noting but spend time with all of us, he was back to normal. Weavile and Torterra didn't participate in the Finals for the one fact that they wanted him to do it on his own. They had been there from the starts Started and First ever caught, they always caught him when he fell, I thought when they told him they weren't participating he was going to blow-up but he didn't for I believe he knew it was coming, he has a bond with them two I wish he had with me, just takes a look before he knows he messed up, you see Master, knows when we need him the most, he comes running, you see Gengar had gotten really sick, and couldn't open his eyes, Reggie had tried everything, when he finally called Paul, Master was in Sunyshore, he came running he forgot to hang up the phone before he left. Once he was home, he dropped down beside Gengar, and waited he stayed up all night for two nights with Gengar. By the third day Gengar was better, and was able to open his eyes, walk around, yet he still had a cough. Reggie told Paul to go back to Sunyshore and have his gym battle, and all, but Master made a point to Call everyday, he may not seam like much, but he's our master, and he is always there, even when we can not see him. He has all of our respect and each one of us will make sure he succeeds in life, and if push comes to shove we won't mind taking the pain and agony of loosing our lives in the time of darkness form him, but one thing we never have to worry about is that, for Master protects us, do you understand now, he is not as mean as he looks, under it all is Master,"

'Yeah I understand, I just can't believe that Paul is like that, I would have never guessed, but I should have known, just looking at Torterra and Weavile in battle gave it all way,"

Dawn looked at Paul, he was Smiling as he ran from Rapidash, Absol, the Charizards, Arbok, and Feraligatr with the red bandana in his hands. She watched him jump around and get Trampled by Dragonite, before Ursaring Broke it up and picked up Paul and Dust him off.

'I'm Fine Girl, I promise, I'm not hurt," He told her as she spun him around and checked if he was hurt, then she glared at the rest of the pokemon and gave them THE look.

After a few more hours Dawn walked inside with a very dirty, sweaty wet Paul.

"I'm hungry,"

"Well I'm clean, you take a shower and I'll feed you, then tomorrow I'll be out of your hair I guess,"

"What, you mean go home,"

"Yeah, I guess, unless you plan to leave before Reggie gets back then I'll come back when you get ready to leave,"

'Or you can stay here,"

"Huh,"

"I said OR YOU CAN STAY HERE,"

"Fine, I guess I can if you want,"

"then it settled, now I'm hungry,"

"I said shower then food,"

"You know your enjoying the view," He snickered

"Am NOT," She said turning red and closing her eyes,

"Whatever,"

He walked up the stairs before getting in the shower he hollered

"I DON'T WANT RAMON,"

"TOO BAD,"

Dawn smiled as she begun to cook Paul a 'Meal".
