Chapter 5
Paul sat down at the table glancing over to the group of friend over in the other table. They were her already, he must have gone a lot slower than he thought looking back to the menu he ordered some food before looking around.
Outside the Poke centre three figures stood looking in the window.
"This time we're right, look." Meowth pointed to Pikachu and the group of friends.
"Good going Meowth now whip us up a machine." Jessie looked to the cat pokemon who looked to the ground.
"Can't, we spent the last of our money on our last meal." James looked to his friends.
"Well don't you have a backup plan." Meowth glared at him
"Well don't look at me, I'm not the one who has the money, but I do have a little something for a rainy day. Let's get going." Jessie and James nodded.
"Right." They both replied in unison.
Dawn glanced over to Paul's table before lowering her voice to a whisper. "Hey guys, Paul is here shouldn't he still be in hospital?" Brock shook his head.
"Not in hospital but he certainly shouldn't be travelling." Ash shrugged.
"Who cares let him do what he wants if he thinks he's strong enough to carry on let him." Dawn glared at him
"Well he shouldn't do it, he will get seriously hurt one of these days and no-one will help him." Ash sighed
"So?" Dawn gave him another glare
"How can you be so heartless he's still a human being." Dawn snarled looking to her friend
"Well last time I checked he wasn't very nice to me or my pokemon so I don't see why I should care really." Dawn stormed off away from the table not looking back at her friends.
"Now you've done it, she's going to be like this all night now." Brock glared at him. Ash sighed
"So why should I care anyway? He's a jerk even Dawn knows that." Brock sighed taking another glance at Paul
"He looks fine, like nothing happened to him but he should still be in quite a lot of pain that wound was bad."
Paul glanced after the girl, an argument with her friends? Oh please, this is why he did not travel with anyone. Getting up he walked out of the dining hall, he had consumed quite a bit of food, now he needed to do some training. Walking out of the pokemon centre he noticed Dawn on the far end she looked really upset like she had been crying, why had she been crying? Her friends were not very good friends if they left her crying alone. Sticking his hands in his pockets he sighed walking to wards the woods to train.
Dawn wiped the tears from her eyes. Why was she crying? Ash could be annoying sometimes but why had she feelings for Paul. He was unkind to her and her friends and showed no amount of care for his pokemon only for strength. But she still had feelings for him she knew sometimes he could be kind as she had witnessed in the cave he showed some kindness there. Maybe he wasn't that bad she would just have to find it again. She had noticed Paul walk into the woods so she decided to follow him. She noticed he had stopped probably to train.
"Torterra and Elekid stand by for battle." He released his two pokemon from their pokeballs.
"I want you both to give everything you've got no weakness." He trained for a while using all of his pokemon against each other. Dawn thought his training style was strict and not right. Paul finished putting everyone in their pokeballs.
"Hope you enjoyed it." He sneered talking to Dawn
"How did you know I was here?" She came out of her hiding place looking to the ground. Paul grinned
"You're not very quiet are you? What were you wanting to find out, spying on me for your friend?" Dawn glared at him
"No! I'm not like that, I wanted to see how you trained that's all." Paul glared heading back towards the pokemon centre.
"Well there you go then." He smiled before walking back through the woods. Dawn blushed bright red, how did he find out? She must have been too loud, now he'll think I'm a stalker. Sighing she also headed back to the pokemon centre.
Ash groaned, he was starting to regret making Dawn upset now he'd have to make it up to her, were was she anyway? He had looked around the whole Poke centre twice or thrice, he could not find her anywhere. She'll come back later anyway, he headed towards their room. Brock had gone to find out more about this contest so he was alone. Ash headed back to his room with Pikachu. He unlocked the door and opened it.
"Hey what are you doing here." He had noticed Paul almost instantly as soon as he stepped into the room.
"Don't say I'm sharing rooms with you and your friends?" Ash snarled
"I suppose you are." Great the person he would least like to share a room with he was sharing a room with. Dawn headed back to the room opening the door she noticed Ash and Pikachu were already there with Piplup and Paul. Oh great now he's going to say more about the stalker thing. Ash looked to her and smiled.
"Hey there you are Dawn, I'm sorry about before, I shouldn't have said that." Dawn smiled
"Its ok Ash, I'm sorry too." Piplup jumped into her arms happily.
"What's he doing here?" She turned to Paul who was sitting on his bed quite comfortable.
"He has to share a room with us." Ash sat down on his bed before looking to the door.
"I'm going to find Brock, He'll be looking around to see about the contest." Ash hurried out the room before either of them could protest. Paul didn't bother looking at Dawn instead he turned away from her facing the wall beside his bed. Dawn sat down on her bed eyes looking at the floor.
"Paul?" Her voice was trembling slightly
"Hm?" Turning his head to face her
"I'm sorry for spying on you while you were training, it was wrong I know." Paul watched her for a few seconds before turning back to face the wall.
"Its ok I suppose, you did nothing to interrupt me and no harm was done so you're fine." He didn't bother to face her again. Dawn gave a secretive smile before lying down on her bed facing the ceiling. She wasn't sure how long it had been but she soon fell asleep.
"Dawn, Dawn." She was awoken to Ash looking at her with Pikachu on her bed smiling.
"Huh what?" Ash grinned Brock was sitting on his bed and Paul was on his.
"You were asleep when me and Brock came back, its 8:30am we better get some training done, there's a contest tomorrow if you're wanting to compete." Dawn looked at her Poetic watch he was right she slept all through the night not wakening up at all. Dawn yawned stretching up.
"I must have been really tired whew never done that before." Ash smiled.
"Me and Brock will be waiting for you to get ready in the canteen." Dawn nodded standing up and heading towards the bathroom.
I tried to make it a bit longer than my other chapters, probably didn't work. Sorry for the late updates if anyone knows the cure for writers block tell me please. r & r please Paul is getting a bit kinder to Dawn and they share a room -dun dun dun!- not giving away anything ;D
