Time-travelers

Chapter 3

A.D 2013 September

Paul headed to school, thinking why his heart pounded last night. True, Dawn looked strangely similar to Ivy. They have same last name, same blue hair, blue eyes, and ivory skin. Ivy was much shorter though.

As he reached the first period he immediately sat next to Dawn and when he was about to ask her something, his ex-girlfriend, Ursula Mierre walked to him and tapped his shoulder. "Hey Paul, how were you?" She asked as she slid her arms around Paul's neck. Paul saw Dawn's glance at him, grossed out one to be exact.

"Go away." Paul said as he pushed her slightly. Ursula pouted, "Come on, it was just one mistake! Why are you so mad at that?" Paul told her once more to go away and as he was about to ask Dawn, the class begun.

Dawn slipped out of the classroom right after the class was over and headed to the Second Period classroom when she felt a hand grab her shoulder. Reflectively, Dawn grabbed the arm and swung the body over her. With loud crash, Paul was on the floor. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! It's just that… Are you okay?" Dawn asked Paul worriedly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Where did you learn that?"

"From my Father." Dawn helped him stand up on his feet. "I wanted to ask something." He said after he dusted himself.

"What is it?" Dawn asked with puzzled look.

"Do you have any relatives here?"

'That's strange. Mrs. Hail asked something like that yesterday.' Dawn shook her head.

"Oh."

She waved Paul 'good-bye' and hurried to the class.

Dawn discussed it with her friends. "Really? That is strange." Hilda said. "Maybe they have your doppelganger here." May guessed. "Maybe. But if she's really here, then I must've seen her too." Dawn said. Hilda thought for a moment. Her expression changed from thinking to 'I got it'. "Did you get something Hilda?" May asked quietly. "Dawn, this is past. That means-" "Hilda!" Hilda's face turned horrified as Hilbert grabbed her shoulder with big smile on his face.

"Hi Hilbert. Um.." Dawn's glance turned to Paul, who was looking at her. "Are you sure you don't have relative here?" he asked. "Seriously? No. I don't." Dawn said. Paul's glance was at somewhere else for a moment but turned toward her quickly. "What were you looking at?" Dawn asked, turning around but nothing that can grab Paul's attention was there.

"Nothing." Paul quickly said and looked at her suspiciously. Dawn turned around once more. Nothing. Still, nothing. "Maybe his girlfriend is there." May whispered to Dawn. Dawn shrugged and looked up at Paul, who was talking to Drew about something, both were glancing at her. "Do you know someone named Ivy?" Drew leaned over to her and asked.

"No." Dawn answered simply. "Do you?" Drew asked May but all she did was to stick her tongue out. "Who is she?" Hilda asked, picking up a salad with her fork. "Don't just ask abruptly, explain how she looks like and tell about her. We don't know anyone with name Ivy." Paul, Drew and Hilbert looked at each other.

"Well, she is short. About this tall," Drew said as he shook his hand near his chest, "She has blue hair, and eyes. Like Dawn, but much darker, close to black." Hilbert described. "And she is extremely cheerful and active. She's also a trainer. And she is Raph's girlfriend." Paul said. "Who's Raph?" Dawn asked.

"My cousin. He is not hard to miss, but I don't think he's here." Paul said, looking around. "Wait, why are you asking Dawn about this 'Ivy' person?" May butted in. "Because they share same last name. Everyone knows that."

May walked around her living room. "Same last name?" Hilda told her to shush while reading over May's homework. "May, you got this one wrong." She said as she checked question number 5. "I don't care. Hilda, don't you think it is weird?" Hilda closed her text book and looked up at May. "Yes, I do. But it's not like we can meet her right now. Besides, we hardly know anything about her. And I don't think Dawn wants to meet her." Hilda said, looking at their bedroom.

Dawn stared out the window. 'Ivy von Viette…. Have I ever heard that name before?' Dawn thought, spacing out. "Dawn, are you there?" May's voice called out. "Yeah, I'm in here." Dawn, breaking out from spacing, responded. "Well, I made some juice for you." May said coming into the room and handed Dawn juice full of orange juice. "Thanks." Dawn thanked and gulped it down.

"Dawn, why were you so surprised at the name 'Ivy von Viette'? Nothing special, right?" Dawn thought for a moment, "I don't know. It feels like I heard that name but I'm not sure." "Where?" May asked quickly. "Grave." Dawn answered and spaced out again. May knew that whenever Dawn was thinking deeply she always space out. "Then I will be at the living room." May silently went out of the room and closed the door behind her.

May picked up her text book and sat next to Hilda, solving the problems again that Hilda checked for her. "I hate math." May said. "You are good with Coordinator class." Hilda said. May turned to Hilda, "Why do you study about Pokemon Contest? You are trainer." Hilda looked down sadly, "Just…. Well…. Umm…." Hilda turned her history book's page over and wrote down on the note. "May, I don't want to talk about that." May looked at Hilda's note and went back to her own homework. The apartment felt in silence.

Dawn was spacing out until the darkness fell and moon was shining brightly outside the window. Dawn shook her head to concentrate again. She noticed that it was dark outside. She checked the clock and realized that she had been spacing out for 2 hours. It was 8 o'clock. Dawn walked out of the room and saw May sleeping on the dining table, textbook beneath her. Hilda was silently reading a book on the sofa.

"Dawn, why were you spacing out? Nothing special about it." Hilda asked. "It's just that… I heard that name before…. I think…. I don't know for sure but…. I think I did." Hilda closed the book. "Dawn, let's look for her tomorrow and ask her about herself. Mission first, remember?" Dawn nodded with smile.

Dawn asked other classmates about Ivy but nobody told her who she was so until Coordinator class, she was worried a little. "Ha…" Dawn sighed. "Aren't you the girl who was sitting with Paul?" Dawn looked up from the bleacher and girl with pink curly hair was there with few other friends. It reminded her of bullies. 'Isn't she the one who was flirting with Paul?' Dawn thought and nodded slightly.

"Well, I have one thing to say." Dawn looked for Drew but he wasn't there at all. "Paul is mine so don't you dare try to hang out with him." She said and other girls snickered. "I'm not interested." Dawn said quietly and went over to May. "Hey!" Dawn turned around. "I'm just warning you." 'She reminds me of someone.' Dawn said and ran to May.

"Hi Dawn, what's up? I thought you were B team." May said. "Don't care. There's this weird girl saying that I can't hang out with Paul. As if I'm interested." Dawn said, dusting her skirt. "Well, it does seem like that Paul's interested in you." May said. "And it seems like that Mr. Paloan is interested in you as well." Dawn teased. May's face turned like a fresh tomato. "No he doesn't!" May frowned and looked down.

Since Mrs. Hail went out, the class was practically free. So May and Dawn talked while practicing for the appeal round. Ursula came once again and started to brag to Dawn not to go near Paul. "Seriously, I'm not interested in him." Dawn said as she patted Pachirius's head. "Well, I know that he is interested because he was talking to you a lot and even Raph knows you." Dawn groaned and closed her eyes while Pachirisu growled at Ursula. "How cute. You want to challenge me?" Dawn's eyes shot open and she stood up, "You're on."

Students crowded around Team C's battlefield. "I will be the referee." May said as she went to the middle. "Pachirisu, you can do it, right?" Pachirisu nodded and went to the battlefield. Ursula smirked, "Flareon, let's go!" Ursula threw her ball into the air and as the ball opened it released the Flame Pokemon onto the field. "Let the battle begin!"

"Flareon, use Flamethrower!" Flareon fired steam of blaze from his mouth. "Pachirisu, dodge!" Pachirisu stepped to the side way, barely dodging the flame. "Discharge!" Pachirisu released enormous amount of electricity, striking around him everywhere. One beam struck Flareon. He screamed in pain. "Pachirisu, now Super Fang!" Dawn commended and Pachirisu ran to its foe with its fang lengthened itself.

"Flareon dodge!" Ursula said with plead. Flareon obeyed its master and rolled to sideway. "Shadow Ball!" Flareon fired a black ball from its mouth and it hit Pachirisu but hardly damaged it. "Pachirisu, finish it with Iron Tail." Pachirisu's tail glowed in silver as it swung its tail, and hit Flareon, making it faint. "Flareon is unable to battle! Pachirisu wins, so the winner is Dawn!"

Ursula couldn't believe that she lost this easily. She silently returned her Pokemon. "Good job, Pachirisu!" Dawn spread her arms and Pachirisu jumped into it. "You were great, Dawn!" May said as she ran over to her best friend. The bell rang and all the students packed their stuff and went out of the Contest field. Ursula was the only one left on the field, vowing to take revenge on Dawn.

Without knowing this, Dawn left school with her friends. May told about the final class to Hilda. "Wow, good job Dawn. But what's with her?" Dawn shrugged. Few steps later, they stopped. All of them sensed something wrong and all stared into one bush. They looked at each other and quietly stared at it. As soon as it moved, they ran to it and followed it to the forest.

They ran. The girls looked at each other and nodded. May went to the right, and Hilda went to the left. Dawn took out her Pokeball and released Zoroark. "Let's go!" Zoroark roared and with it's quick speed it ran forward and grabbed it, and pushed it down to the ground. "Got ya!" Dawn cried out as May and Hilda surrounded it. Zoroark slowly rose from ground and revealed what it head on the ground.

It was small Growlithe with camera on the head. "How cute!" May said as it looked down. Dawn picked the camera up and told Zoroark to smash it. May picked up the Pokemon and it revealed its scar. "Oh my!" May exclaimed as the Pokemon started to squirm. "Must have been from Bellistone." Hilda guessed. Growlithe whimpered and May cooed. "Can we keep him?" She asked. Hilda and Dawn looked at her weirdly. "What if it spies on us? It used to belong to Bellistone. We can't keep it!" Dawn said.

"But, it's helpless and if it returns without the camera, who knows what will happen to him?" May asked. Hilda pursed her lips and Dawn sighed. "Fine." Dawn said and Hilda nodded in agreement. May beamed and hugged the Pokemon tight.

Bellistone

He smashed his hand on the table, cursing under his breathe. "I will kill those girls for sure." He muttered as the screen turned black. He went down to the basement, filled with small Pokemons. "Now, which one of you miserable ones will be my spy…" He said, looking around. They whimpered as he passed by. Some of them even hid from him.

Bellistone walked around and then picked up Pichu by its tail and then walked into the room filled with knife. Bellistone tied the poor thing onto the chair and picked up small blade. Soon Pichu's painful cry filled Bellistone's main quarter, making others shutter.
