Paul groaned in pain, how was he going to get out of this one, he had no idea how he was going to get out of this, standing up he looked around he had to get to shelter suddenly he noticed a cave it was quite close and looked easy to get to, limping quickly he managed to make it over to the cave without any trouble. Sitting down he could feel himself getting tired not knowing how much blood he had lost or how far he was from the nearest pokemon centre he rested his eyes exhausted from the wound.
Dawn sighed looking around for shelter it was getting really dark, she was nervous they would not find one in time.
"Bun Bun." Buneary came running up to her.
"What is it Buneary have you found something?" Buneary nodded hopping to the cave it found.
"Ah excellent a cave, hey guys Buneary found something." The pokemon came running to their trainer eagerly. Dawn made sure everyone was there before heading towards the cave.
"Hello anyone there?" Dawn looked into the cave making sure no-one was there before walking in. She noticed a figure lying down on the floor, it was Paul! His leg looked really painful.
"Paul, Paul wake up." She started shaking him trying to get him to wake.
"Huh, annoying girl what are you doing here?" He snapped looking up at her. Dawn glared at the trainer.
"Well excuse me, you shouldn't fall asleep not with a wound like that. It looks really painful." Paul raised an eyebrow.
"And why should you care?" Giving her a stare that she knew well. Dawn sighed looking at Paul.
"I'd wish you learn, I care because no one else would, what would happen if you died out here? Now please just relax but don't fall asleep, I've learned a few things from Brock." Paul looked at her his looks softened a bit. Dawn asked her pokemon to look for a plant that would help Paul's wound. Taking off her scarf she wrapped it around the wound applying pressure.
"It's not a bandage but it should do for the night." She smiled at her handiwork before looking at Paul.
"You must have lost a lot of blood you look really white." Paul sighed looking at her.
"Why are you helping me?" Dawn looked at him a bit confused.
"I've done nothing to make you even think of being nice to me so why are you helping me?" Dawn smiled.
"Well I would never leave anyone injured alone it's just cruel, and I kind of know you so that makes it easier to talk to someone." Paul gave her a stare before looking down to the floor.
"Thank you." He muttered. Dawn looked shocked hearing them words from him, Paul the person no-one could understand this just made him a lot more confusing.
"You're welcome Paul." Smiling she checked on the bandage before lying down using her bag as a pillow.
"Argh." A searing pain woke him up shooting through his leg. He sat straight up gasping for breath. The pain soon subsided he looked to the girl next to him, Dawn, that was her name. She was fast asleep with her pokemon beside her, he gave a small very rare smile. Looking outside he noticed it was morning. Leaning against the wall he tried to stand up but it was no use his leg was in so much pain. Dawn soon woke up and looked at him.
"Paul, are you ok?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at her.
"No of course I'm not." He snapped instantly regretting it. Dawn glared at him angry
"Hey I just helped you, if you're not happy with that fine! I'll just go away then, we only needed shelter anyway." The pokemon woke up with Dawn's shouting Piplup decided to join in with the argument.
"Piplup pip piplup pip." The pokemon pointed a flipper at Paul. Dawn nodded
"Yeah he's a jerk you're right Piplup I shouldn't have decided to help him." She picked up her bag and headed towards the cave entrance. Paul watched her go deciding to himself that he did not really care if she left or not. She walked away with her pokemon following behind.
"Dawn hey Dawn." Ash called searching for his friend.
"Pika Pikachu." The mouse pokemon helped his trainer call on her, they had to give up the search last night due to how quickly it got dark. Brock sighed turning to his friend.
"She shouldn't be far, it's Dawn, we'll find her soon." Ash nodded.
"Just wish she didn't keep wandering off like this she could be lost or badly hurt." He brought out one of his pokeballs and smiled.
"Staraptor I choose you!." The bird pokemon appeared out of its pokeball waiting for an instruction from its trainer.
"Fly up into the air see if you can find Dawn." Staraptor took to the air heading to find her.
"Staraptor will make searching a lot quicker and easier from the skies." Brock nodded smiling
"Good idea Ash we'll keep up the search from the ground.
Second chapter is up. I decided to let Paul and Dawn have a little argument, I mean come on Dawn would never be calm towards Paul like that. Please r and r, I'm ready to put up more chapters if necessary.
