One look into that horrible portal and Dawn knew she was not going to enjoy this. Damn Cyrus for being a total jerkface, damn Giratina for going on a rampage and, yes, damn Cynthia for suggesting she go in there and try to stop it. She was only fourteen for Arceus' sake! She had a whole life to live, a League to beat, rivals to crush and places to be... she didn't want to die in some alternate world!
But one look into the woman's eyes and she sighed, knowing she'll do it anyway if Cynthia asked again. She hated disappointing the people around her who contributed so much to her success; Mom, Professor Rowan, Barry, Lucas and Cynthia.
Said woman placed a hand on her shoulder and she pinked, turning her head away to hide it. Cynthia, however, assumed Dawn was upset and frowned, pulling the teen around to face her. The twenty-two year old raised an eyebrow as Dawn backed away, clenching her fists and looking over the portal.
"Well, let's go in, then! No time to lose!" Dawn exclaimed, stepping near the edge of the portal and looking at Cynthia with a grin.
The blonde responded in kind and approached Dawn, wondering what was taking the girl so long.
"Cynthia," Dawn started, glancing away and blushing, "I'll catch you when you fall."
Cynthia's eyes widened and her cheeks pinked. Dawn grinned and fell backwards, spreading her arms out.
"Dawn!" Cynthia shouted, jumping after her.
True to her word, Dawn caught her... with Empoleon's help.
