Dawn sighed as she stared at the journal. She was outside in the backyard gazebo.
"Dawn, are you alright?" Piplup asked.
"Yes, you have been acting rather strangely lately," Togekiss agreed.
"Do you guys not remember what happened?" Dawn asked.
"What do you mean?" Quilava asked.
"I transformed, and you were absorbed into my body," Dawn answered; not believing her pokémon.
"It's true!" Piplup insisted.
"I do feel like a fought, but I can't remember anything," Buneary muttered.
"Same here," Quilava mumbled.
"Because you did," Dawn told her, picking up the bunny. "Or rather, I used your moves."
"Oh! Why couldn't you have used my moves?" Pachirisu cried, while running around the table. "That would have been super cool!"
"I'm sorry," Dawn smiled. "At the time I didn't notice. I was just so focused on saving Piplup. I used Bounce, and then Dizzy Punch. Later on, I used Ice Beam on accident. I was trying to cool a cup of hot tea."
"That doesn't explain Quilava," Mamoswine muttered.
"I used flamethrower to melt the ice, and the cup. It was a test to see if I really had absorbed you guys," Dawn explained.
"I still wish you could have used one of my moves!" Pachirisu cried, throwing a little tantrum.
"I'm sorry I was more concerned about getting you guys than I was with using your moves," Dawn muttered.
"Dawn, you cannot blame her, she still acts like a little child. She is young at heart," Togekiss whispered.
"I know," Dawn sighed.
"But still, you seem to be beating yourself up over something," Quilava observed.
"My dad…he left a number for me to call," Dawn explained. "I just don't know if I should."
"Do you trust your father?" Mamoswine asked.
"Yes...no. I don't know!" Dawn cried. "He left when I was young. I don't even remember his face!"
"Dawn, he is your father, do you trust him?" Togekiss asked.
"Yeah, I guess I do," Dawn nodded weakly.
"Then go call the number," Togekiss ordered gently.
"We'll be beside you," Mamoswine yawned.
"Thanks guys," Dawn smiled, rushing inside. She ran to the video phone and opened the journal, flipping through the pages. She stopped at the page and dialed the number. A young girl about the same age as her picked up. She had long dark brown hair and bright green eyes. Her bangs were tied into braids, framing her face. There was a beauty mark underneath her right eye.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hi, my name is Dawn," the blunette introduced.
"Nice to meet you Dawn, I'm Emi" The brunette smiled. "How'd you get my number?"
"Um…well…my father left me a journal. He said that if I need any help, I should call the number that was put in the journal," Dawn explained nervously.
"Dawn, how old are you?" Emi asked.
"I'm fifteen," Dawn answered.
"Ah, and tell me, have you ever met any Legendary pokémon?" Emi asked.
"Yeah, I've met several," Dawn nodded.
"You can transform, can't you?" Emi asked.
"Yes," Dawn confessed softly.
"Don't worry, you've called the right person," Emi assured.
"That's good," Dawn smiled.
"Listen, I just got off the phone with a young man just like you. He transformed for the first time yesterday," Emi informed her.
"Just like me," Dawn muttered.
"Yep," Emi nodded. "We're meeting up tomorrow in Hearthome city. We'll be meeting at the restaurant La Petite Maison. Would you like to join us? I'd rather talk to you both at once if you don't mind."
"Sure," Dawn nodded.
"Good, I shall see you tomorrow evening. The reservations are for 6:30, under McCarthy. Don't be late," Emi winked before hanging up. Dawn hung up as well and sighed.
"Dawn? What's wrong?" Johanna asked.
"I'm going to Hearthome tomorrow," Dawn said to her.
"Why?" Johanna asked.
"I called the number dad left for me," the blunette answered.
"I see," her mother hummed.
"Mom, have you ever been to La Petite Maison?" Dawn asked nervously.
