Task Two: Interact with Dawn's pokemon
Overtime, I've been a lot better with Dawn's pokemon.
Task Four: Win the prize at the Celadon Ball
I won the prize, but I ended up winning it with Naruto instead of Zoey. Maybe if she hadn't have stormed out when I talking to some of the other guys, she could have won with me. To be honest, Zoey is a much better dancer than Naruto, but Naruto just seemed to have put his heart in it. My heart skipped a beat because Naruto gave me such kind compliments.
Task Five: Re-read Dawn's diary
I've grown to be more confident in myself. However, there's a chance. A very big chance that I would lose all the cofidence I worked so hard to obtain once I return to my normal life as Hinata Hyuga. Since the day at the ball where Ash freaked out because he saw my real eyes, I've been trying to be a bit more careful. With Naruto wandering around the pokemon regions I knew I had to take extra care. If I hadn't have read Dawn's diary, I would have never have been able to
Task Six: Enjoy the trip to Unova
I spent a lot of time with Naruto in Unova, and then I met some of Ash's friends called Cilan and Iris. They were really nice and friendly. Naruto was loud and made fun of Cilan, but we all seemed to have got along. We had problems with Jessie and James because they were trying to kidnap Dawn's piplup, but Naruto sorted them out when he knocked them all out. Well he was a ninja and they weren't He had an instant advantage.
Task Seven: Apologize to Zoey
I loved Unova, but it was Zoey who really wanted to go. She was really angry with me because she thought that Dawn was leaving her behind. Dawn and Zoey were in a relationship and I think I just broke them up. Sorry, I didn't mean to.
Task Eight: Defeat Team Rocket
We're always doing this task again and again. I'm sure that I've passed this by now. Jessie, James and Meowth always seem to want to capture Ash's Pikachu along with someone else's pokemon. They always seem to fail stealing other people's friends. I'd like to think that they're actually very nice people, because on the occasions
Task Nine: Meet Dawn's family face to face
Dawn's mum cried happy tears. When Dawn/me won the grand festival, she looked up to me with her eyes glistening in happy tears. She hugged me tightly and said, "I'm so proud of you. You've grown up to be a strong lady."
Task Ten: Tell Dawn's pokemon the truth
Dawn's piplup told me something interesting. He said that I used to be so vain and thought of myself a little bit too much, but now I had become kind and gentle. I decided then it would be the best time to tell him. Piplup didn't speak too me for a couple of weeks and I struggled at contests because of it, but we eventually got to make peace with each other and I promised Piplup I would find Dawn. The other pokemon were the same, they didn't speak to me in a while then forgave me.
Task Eleven: Win the grandfestival for Dawn
I found it hard to believe that I had accomplished Dawn's dream for her. All the high praise and recognition I received, I wasn't used to it.
Task Twelve: Tell Naruto the truth
It's been six months since I took Dawn's life. The more I see Naruto hanging about in the regions, the closer I am to telling him the truth. Today I need to complete my task twelve. I've finished all my other tasks, but I need to tell him the truth, because he's so close to it. He's been around me for months and I have a feeling that he will be leaving for Johto to meet Neji. He was assigned to help Team Guy look for me, and since they handed the flowers to Tsunade, they could dedicate their time to try and find me.
I told Dawn's gang that I wanted to have a walk on my own. They all understood, although Ash in particular seemed to have expressed concern for Dawn by his facial expression. When he finds out that I'm not Dawn, what would they think of me? It wouldn't have been the little miss perfect that they know as Dawn. It was Ash's birthday, so we all decided to trip to Mount Silver, which was located in Kanto, but not so far away from Johto. It was the most convient place for all of Ash's friends to meet up. Most of the people where those who I already met in the ball.
I kept looking behind me to see that no one else was following me. Mount Silver was too steep and fragile for humans to climb up on their own. Luckilly my ninja skills was enough to shoot up the waterfalls and climb the rocks. When I was greeted by the icy wind at the top end of the cave, I knew that I had reached the top. I didn't know why this little walk and ended up being at the top of Mount Silver. Surely Dawn must be cold just wearing a pink shirt and black vest. The hat and scarf can't have been enough.
The wind pulled dragged further away from the cave, until it dropped me on the floor. The cold sensation made me leep to my feet only for me to find the person who I was looking for. It was time to tell the truth. My jaw opened for me to speak, but froze with my words.
He stood there calmly facing my print in the show that was filled up by the blizzard.
"We need to talk," Naruto lifted his head and grinned, "Hinata..."
