Chapter 2
I don't own Pokémon! *sigh* I wish I did.

Ash looked out from the balcony of his hotel room. The view outside was beautiful. The tall, rugged mountain gave a feeling of carelessness and pride. There air was windy and a little chilly. He wanted to explore the area, so he hired up a motorcycle and after having a decent breakfast, went for sighg seeing. He was enchanted by the beauty of the mountains. The soft, sweet aroma of newly blossomed flowers covered the area. He took some pictures of the landscapes and then decided to head to the Sinow river, the stream which provided water to the main river of Sinnoh.

Dawn was with her parents, taking in all the sights the place had to offer. She noticed a group of men, taking their mareep up a hill, possibly to a new grazing area. The trees were the darkest shade of green she had ever seen. But what caught her attention was a river flowing down.
She, after taking permission from her parents made her way to the stream.
Serena was busy clicking random pictures. The sight of tea plucking and huge plantation really caught her attention. She was standing on the middle of the road, taking the picture of her parents standing sideways.
She turned to take a picture of the beautiful road when her eyes fell upon the approaching motorcycle. What caught her attention was not the cycle, but the man riding it. Though he had his helmet on, she could see his messy black hair sticking out from beneath the helmet. She blushed on seeing him.
The motorcycle passed by her and she felt captivated by the aura of the boy.
The motorcycle stopped after a few metres. The boy had reached his destination. Dismounting from the bike, he placed his helmet on it and then made his way to the stream.
"It's beautiful!" He said to himself.
He found a blue haired girl, sitting along the river bank. The mere sight of her filled his heart with such emotions he never had before. He found himself making his way to her but stopped when he heard her humming to herself.
Though he was quite far away from the girl, Ash could clearly listen to what she was singing.
Dawn on the other hand, was unaware of the presence. She was singing with all her love for music.
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Ash's eyes widened on hearing her voice. It sounded so flawless, so smooth. He sat down where he was standing to listen to her.
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
Dawn got up from her seat and faced the river. Spreading her hands she continued.
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
Ash slowly got up and walked over to where Dawn was. But stopped when she started singing the final part.
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
Dawn paused for a second. Then her tone becoming a little low pitched, she sang.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
He was about to clap when he saw some boys making their way to Dawn. One grabbed her by the wrist and smirked. Dawn winched due to pain and struggled to free herself. A nearby boy commented,"I wonder if you are as sweet as your song was!" Dawn shut her eyes close and let out a loud cry of help. The man holding her was about to hit her when Ash landed a blow on his nose. Hurt, he loosened his grip and Dawn jerked away from him.
The other men were going go launch themselves at Ash when Dawn, taking out her phone, pretended to be talking to someone.
"Yes sir, near the Sinow river, right down the bridge, some boys are robbing a tourist!"
Hearing her voice, the men looked at each other and fled. She sighed in relief and took a deep breath.
"Are the police coming?" Ash asked, curiously.
"I never called them!" She said grinning.
His eyes widened in shock then a smile covered his face. He complimented her,"Great presence of mind!"
"Thanks, umm?"
"Ash and you?"
"Dawn"
They both smiled at each other. Ash broke the stare unwillingly and said,"You saved my butt! They would have toasted me!"
Inspite of the gravity of the situation, they found themselves laughing.
Serena, on seeing Dawn with the same motorcycle boy, was filled with envy. She quickly made her way to them. Daniel and Johanna , seeing their daughter near the stream, went there too.
"Hey little sister, enjoying yourself?" Serena asked in a fake, happy tone.
Dawn couldn't believe her ears. Was she hearing right? She smiled and said," Yes Serena, its so beautiful!"
Serena, looking at Ash, extended her hand and said," I am Serena and you're?"
"Ash," Ash said, giving her a handshake, but not breaking his eye contact with Dawn.
Serena internally scoffed.
Daniel on approaching the girls smiled but gave Ash a curious look.
"Dad, this boy saved my life! He is my saviour!" Dawn said smiling.
Daniel thanked the boy and smiled. Ash was talking to him about the incident occasionally stealing glances at Dawn. However this was not unnoticed by Daniel.
Ash looked at her with relieved eyes when she said again,"Dad, you wont believe he helped me out of nowhere, he is such a sweet guy." It was taking all his will power to not smile like crazy in front of them.
Johanna, sensing Serena's interest in the boy, said," Why don't you accompany us for the rest of the day son, we can never thank you enough."
Ash was glad at the offer but politely said,"It was my duty as a citizen and I dont want to be a pain."
"Come on son! Just for a day," Daniel said while rubbing his hands to warm himself.
"Dad is right, it is the least we can do to thank you for helping my dear sister," Serena said while smiling.
Ash looked at Dawn. She smiled and said,"They are right, moreover we will get to know each other too, join in!"
Ash nodded at her request but said,"It's almost evening, let us meet tomorrow, if you all want, what do you aay uncle?"
Daniel had never seen Dawn so happy before. He noticed how much she smiled when he addressed something to her or cracked any joke. His heart filled with warmth and happiness. He agreed to Ash's request.
Ash told them about a nearby place, a hanging garden which was the main tourist attraction of the sinnoh region. They all agreed to meet there tomorrow. Dawn was smiling, Ash was happy and Serena was day dreaming, for the first time in her life, she was happy that Dawn was her sister.
