TP1

A few days have passed on by ever since the Ghost of Maiden's Peak. Ash and his friends were now in another town, but Ash and a couple of the other guys could tell that something was up. Even though May and Drew were taking a breather, it didn't feel like it was an actual breather. There was something else happening, but he wasn't too worried about it.

Currently his friends were now doing some additional shopping since they stopped off in that town. The girls requested to do some shopping as they had plans for the boys they were with. Each of them grabbed up and outfit, especially since the dance they were going to surprise them with was going on later that evening.

As they looked at different dresses, Serena put a red dress with some dark-grey areas in front of her, then a turquoise one. May and Dawn watched her as it was a hard decision. She even did the same thing with a yellow dress and they giggled.

"Seems like someone needs some help, May." Dawn told her.

"She certainly does look like she needs a hand." May added and they both went over to her.

Serena still wasn't for sure until May and Dawn went up to her. "I don't think you'll want the yellow one." Dawn commented.

"Hmm… I'm thinking either the red or turquoise." May suggested.

"Hey! How about this?" Dawn told them. They looked and saw Dawn with a red dress that matched skirt.

"That dress certainly does feel like her." May complimented.

Serena went over to look at it and felt the fabric - which felt incredibly well. "Huh! I think I'll wear this one." She told them.

"Nice! It's totally you." Dawn complimented as well as she snapped her fingers and gave off a wink.

"Hey, guys. What do you all think about this?" Iris requested as she came out in a cream colored dress with pink on the edges at the bottom, pink sleeves and pink lines that were vertical on the lower section of the dress.

The girls were in awe as that dress looked amazing on her.

"Wow, Iris! You make that dress work." Dawn stated.

"No kidding." Serena added.

"I wonder how the boys are fairing?" May wondered.

"Oh, They'll be fairing soon enough." Zoey told them as she came out in a beautiful green dress that had light, dark and medium green colors on it. "Well, how do I look?" she requested.

They were in awe seeing her in that dress. Zoey giggled a bit as they did.

"Paul is going to be speechless once he sees you in this, this evening." Dawn stated.

Not long after they all came out and the boys saw them as they came out.

"What took you guys?" Paul asked.

"Yeah! We thought you guys weren't going to be long." Kenny added.

"Oh boy. We truly didn't take that long." Dawn retorted as she smiled.

"Besides that. We're getting ready for something." May informed them.

"Getting ready for what?" Calem requested.

"You guys will find out soon." Serena told them.

"As for right now. Where's Ash and Misty? We haven't seen them since we checked into the Pokémon Center." Kenny recalled.

"Awe, they're both fine." Dawn told them.

May then giggled. "Yep. They went out on another date." She informed them.

The two of them were at restaurant as Pikachu was at the Pokémon Center getting checked on. The two of them were pretty much starting to hit it off a bit more. They really enjoyed each other's company a lot more ever since Misty managed to rejoin him.

Ash had another bite of his burger as Misty had a hot dog with fries. Ash swallowed his bite and threw one of his fries in the air to catch it in his mouth until it hit the side of his cheek. He watched it as it fell to the floor. Misty giggled at him and he looked at her.

"Huh? What is it, Mist?" he asked her.

"You're silly, Ash." She told him.

"Oh, boy." He replied as he put some ketchup on his fries and ate a few.

"You know something, Ash. I'm really enjoying these dates with you." She told him.

Ash was a bit stunned at this. "Y-you are?" he asked, stuttering a tad bit.

"Mmhmm. These are feeling incredible." She told him.

Ash did remember the silver ring, but he didn't feel like this was the right time or place for it. As this felt off, even on their next date. He did wonder when he would ask her. But it would be in due time.

"You know something, Mist. I do as well." He told her and they smiled at each other.

Not long after, Ash managed to pay for the food and she took his arm as they started to walk out. He smiled at her as she laid her head on his shoulder. As they walked down the road, they began to see the others.

"Hey, guys!" Misty exclaimed.

"Well now, these two are finally finished with their date." Dawn commented, smiling as she put her hands on her hips.

"No kidding. Are you ready, Misty?" May requested.

"Huh? Ready for what?" Ash questioned.

"That's something we're trying to figure out ourselves." Calem told Ash.

"You mean they didn't tell you guys?" a very familiar voice requested.

They all looked and saw Jimmy with his girlfriend Marina.

"Huh? Jimmy! Marina! What are you guys doing here?" Ash requested.

"The same as, like, us." Another voice stated and they knew who she was as they looked to see Daisy and Tracy as he looked at them.

"What the? Daisy? Tracy?" Ash questioned.

"Not just them." Another voice told them. They looked and saw Giselle with her boyfriend Joe.

"Now I'm really confused." Paul stated as the girls

"We best tell them." Iris told them as she had a big smile.

They looked at them as Zoey walked up to them along with Misty. "There's a dance…today." They said in unison.

(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR HAAANNNND. BE A HEERRROOOOO. BE A HHEERROOO THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON!"

"Awe, man, Mist. Another event you guys kept secret?" Ash questioned as they went with the girls.

"Hey, it's something we've been planning on for a bit of time. Besides that, we each have our own dates." May told him.

"Wait! You guys do?" Ash questioned.

"Yep. I'm May's date. She told me after we got back to Sinnoh." Drew told Ash.

Ash looked to Paul and was about to ask if he knew anything about this. "Don't look at me. Zoey didn't tell me anything about it." He told Ash.

"Likewise with Dawn. She didn't tell me anything about it." Kenny stated.

"That's because we knew to keep it a secret." Dawn retorted, smiling.

"I knew I could tell Drew, especially since I've been dating him for a while now." May told them.

"I take it that this is going to be torture. Like from what we've heard about from the princess festival." Jimmy commented, not wanting to be tortured again.

"I'm just surprised that Daisy didn't tell me anything about it." Tracy commented.

"Much like the princess festival. This is on the downlow." She told him.

The boys were pretty annoyed about this, but they knew the girls wanted to have some extra fun since the summer was ending. As for Drew, however. He wanted to go further in his relationship with May. He knew what he wanted to do, if he would be able to execute it properly.

The remaining girls went to go try on dresses and the boys began to try on their suits. Drew tried on a purple suit that really made him pop out. After he tried that on, Kenny tried on a light blue suit that suited him very well. As for Ash, he tried on a black suit with a white dress up collared shirt. Paul tried on a blue suit that gave him a nice change of pace. As for Calem and those. He had on a blue and white suit that made him stand out incredibly well. Jimmy had on a red and white suit with golden edges on the it. Tracy tried on a light green and red suit, not really being used to putting on these kinds of clothes.

As they were trying on different outfits, Dawn, Misty, Daisy, Marina and Giselle were trying on outfits as well. Dawn decided to try on a purple dress as Misty tried on a sparkling cerulean, green dress with red trimmings as Daisy tried on a pink and white dress with gold trimmings as Marina tried on a light blue and white dress, not really being used to this kind of outfit. As for Giselle she decided to try on two different dresses. A black and white, blue dress along with a red and white dress with blue trimmings.

"So, tell me this, Daisy. How's the gym doing so far and why aren't Violet and Lily here?" Misty requested.

"The gym is doing great. I've managed to keep up with it like you have and I've managed to keep its reputation as strong as possible. As for our two sisters, they're running as best as possible since me and Tracy came out here for the dance." Daisy told her as she put on a stocking.

"I wonder how well they'll do with the gym while you're gone." Misty said out of curiosity.

"I wouldn't worry too much about them. They may keep up with their looks and such, but they're learning to grow up and toughen up." Daisy replied.

"Well that's great to hear. Hopefully they'll really learn what it means to be a gym leader." Misty stated as she put a matching bow in her hair that she let down.

"No kidding. Especially since I'm training them as you trained me." Daisy replied before she looked at her and saw how she was looking and was in awe. "Man, Misty. Ash is totally going to be, like, jaw dropping." She complimented her.

"Huh? Really?" Misty asked.

"Yeah. Almost any guy will be head over heels for you. But once we're at the dance. I'll help you to really pop." Daisy told her encouragingly.

It wasn't long after they each tried on different outfits, they started back for the Pokémon Center and heard two other familiar voices.

"Oh, come on, Gare Bare. It'll be fun." The female voice told him.

"Come on, Green. I really don't want to - " he then stopped and looked to see the other guys looking at him as they had bags. "I take it that you all were tricked into this as well, huh?" Gary requested.

"Pretty much, so." Ash replied with a sweat drop as he looked a tad bit nervous.

"What the…Green. You made it!" Misty exclaimed as she went in.

"Yeah, Misty. Once you guys informed me about the dance, I knew I had to go." Green stated.

The boys looked at Gary and he looked back at them. "Trust me. This wasn't my idea." He stated.

"Wasn't ours either." Kenny replied.

"They certainly know how to keep things a secret from us." Calem commented.

"Not just you guys, but me as well." Another voice told them as they looked to the side and saw Clemont.

"What the…Clemont?" Ash asked.

"Yep, along with my…date." he told them as he gulped a bit slouched over. They saw the girl next to him as she was in what looked like a red and white cheerleader outfit with black leggings, red and white fingerless gloves, a pair of red and white shoes, blonde long hair and light gray eyes.

"Who is she?" Dawn requested.

"This is Korrina." He told them, very nervously as he looked over to her.

"Yep! I'm Korrina. We heard about the dance and I asked Clemont if we could go." She told them.

"From what I can tell. I think she was very eager to come." Dawn commented.

"Also, didn't you have a little sister?" Serena requested.

"I do. She's…" "Will you do me the honor of…" "Bonnie!" he exclaimed as he went over to her. "I already have a date for the dance." He reminded her as he went to go get her.

They watched then they looked to Korrina.

She giggled. "He would've left her home, but his father very busy with quite a few things." She told them.

"I take it that he's on another vacation?" Ash asked.

"Not exactly. He does want to explore around the Kanto region, but we both won't be able to stay due to our duties in our home region." Korrina informed them.

"Not to mention, his duties at keeping his sister in check." Misty added.

"I must say. She certainly does seem as bad as Brock or worse than him." Dawn commented.

As they were at the Pokémon center, the other two people that are also exploring around the Kanto region were also getting ready for the dance as well. The boy was sitting down and trying to wait as patiently as possible.

"Yeesh. It couldn't take this long to try on different outfits." He said to himself.

"I think I found the one." She stated as she came out. He looked over to her and he gawked at her. She was in a pale blue dress with blue bits that went around her shoulders as it glistened. "Well, what do you think?" she requested.

"Man. I'll be surprised if your date doesn't find you this attractive." He replied, shocked at how well she looked.

She giggled at him and stepped back in. "Aren't you going to try out some suits? You never know if you'll find a date." She stated.

"Yeesh. Fine. I'll have a look around for some suits." He told her as he got back up to look around. She smiled at him and went back to where she was to change back.

It was later on that everyone was making sure to be ready for the dance that evening. The girls made sure their dresses were ready and they picked items that would make them pop out. Even though many of them were, Misty wasn't too keen on choosing makeup, even though she did enjoy it at times.

The other girls looked at her, thinking about how to make her really pop out to Ash. Dawn then thought about something.

"Hey, girls. We need to make Misty, really pop out to Ash and I think I know how." Dawn told them.

"I thought of a few things myself." Serena added.

"I'd say that Ash is going to be speechless with our teamwork." May commented.

"This evening, we make Misty pop. Along with Dawn, May, Iris and Serena." Zoey stated.

"You too, you know." Dawn added as she smiled at her, knowing they need to make all the boys drool for them.

Later on that day, when they all went back to the Pokémon Center they went in. When they did Paul began to hear two very familiar voices.

"You sure about this? What about the gym?" a male voice questioned.

"Nothing to worry about. I got it all taken care of." A female voice reassured him.

"Huh? What the!" he questioned before he looked over. There he saw what he couldn't believe. He saw his older brother Reggie with Maylene. "No way! Reggie?" he questioned in a very surprised tone.

When Reggie heard him he looked over and saw his little brother. "Paul!" he exclaimed as he started walking over. "It's good to see you again." He told him.

"I don't get it. You're here?" he questioned.

"Yeah. Odd. Isn't it?" Reggie commented as he rubbed the back of his head with his eyes closed.

"It is and is that…" "Yep. It's me, Paul. Maylene." She confirmed.

"What-what are you both doing here?" Paul questioned.

"W-Well. Maylene heard of the dance and asked if I could come with." He told his brother.

The other boys were watching the whole thing. All but Dawn and Ash knew who they were.

"Who's that?" Serena questioned.

"That's Maylene. She a Gym Leader in Sinnoh." Ash answered her.

"And that's Paul's older brother, Reggie." Dawn added before she looked back to them. "I do wonder what they're doing here, though." She wondered.

"If I'm to guess. It's probably because of the dance." Zoey told them.

"Right on the mark for that one." Maylene confirmed.

"We're not too big into dances, but we thought we'd give this a shot." Reggie told them.

"Sweet. Glad you guys could join us." Dawn told them until poke ball released Buneary. "What the! Buneary?" Dawn questioned. Buneary hopped over to Pikachu and nuzzled her cheek with his, Pikachi looking rather nervous about this. "Awe! How cute." Dawn commented as she bent down. "It seems like Buneary wants Pikachu as her date. Am I right?" she requested sweetly as Buneary said her name repeatedly, nuzzling Pikachu's cheek with her own still.

From there they went to get the rest of their dresses and suits ready. On their way, the tv was turned on as other trainers were watching a Pokémon sport until it hit the commercials, and the host of the dance came on. He had on a blue suit and red tie, with a small beard, green eyes along with a top hat – since he wasn't un full view of the camera.

"Greetings and salutations to all trainers and coordinators out there. I am Jean-Peterson and I am the host for tonight's dance." He informed them as he gave off a small bow. "As you all should know, this dance is to celebrate the end of the summer." He added. "I know there are those of you who had been to Maiden's Peak and celebrated there. Not to mention, you all know about what had occurred out there, but we'll be focusing on the end of the summer." He told everyone as he twirled around on camera, revealing blue suit pants and white tip shoes, along with a cane. "With this end of summer dance, I do hope each of you have a date for this dance and have a splendid time." He told everyone.

"I'd say each of us has a date." Dawn commented as she looked around briefly.

"Not everyone, I'm afraid." Misty told them as she glanced at Iris.

"Oh yeah. She's the only one who doesn't have a date." Zoey acknowledged.

Back on tv, Jean-Peterson looked at the camera. "With how things having been going this year during the Indigo League and Contests. I honestly believe that all of these trainers and coordinators deserve a break from all that they've been going through. So I hope to see you all there, and I'm hoping to have some honored guests there as well." He says to everyone before it cuts to another commercial.

After hearing this they all look at Ash, knowing good and well he would be one of the honored guests.

He looked at them, pretty confused. "Uuhhh…what's going on, guys?" he requested.

"Gee, Ash. Don't be so dense about this one." Dawn told him as she bent over slightly with her hands on her hips.

"With how you've managed to not only gain victories in other Leagues." Zoey added.

"You've also managed to beat Brandon and technically became a Frontier Brain." Paul concluded.

Ash crossed his arms, knowing something as well. "Well, don't forget. May will also be an honored guest as well. Not to mention Zoey and possibly Dawn." Ash retorted.

"What do you mean by that?" Dawn requested, a bit confused.

"Don't you see, Dawn. Think about this." Zoey started. "May is known as the Princess of Hoenn. I'm a Top Coordinator and you're the runner up." Zoey reminded her.

Dawn thought for a second then it clocked in her. "Oh yeah! You're right." Dawn confirmed. "Not to mention, Misty might be as well since she's built a strong reputation for the gym." Dawn pointed out.

"Yet, I've, like, managed to keep that reputation going strong. Thanks to my little sisters strong training." Daisy stated confidently, acting like she's flexing her muscles.

"Heh, heh. Let's not go too overboard." Tracey reminded her.

Hours had passed on by and it was now close to the dance time. Everyone was now arriving, their outfits hidden away. Ash and his friends were now entering the large mansion and they saw how big the place was.

"Oh, gee. Would you look at this place!" he exclaimed softly.

"It's pretty huge." Iris confirmed.

"Let's not waste any time looking at the place. Let's get inside and change into our outfits." Dawn stated.

"Oh yeah! I can't wait for the dance." Marina said excitedly.

Korrina then looked to Clemont. "Are you ready, Clemont?" she requested.

He looked at her as he was blushing rather nervously. "Kind of." He replied.

They all went inside and started to change. The girls began changing out of their outfits and into their dresses. Serena and Korrina decided to assist Bonnie too change into her yellow dress that looked like it would be pretty bright and stand out among other.

"My goodness, Bonnie. This dress seems like it'll stand out a good bit among the others." Serena commented.

"Yeah, no kidding. She certainly chose a good dress to wear." Korrina added.

Once Dawn was done putting on her dress, she looked in the full length mirror and twirled around. "Amazing. Kenny is certainly going to love this." Dawn stated happily.

"How do I look, Dawn?" May requested. Dawn looked and saw May in a pink and red dress.

"Oh wow! If Drew doesn't drool over how you look, I don't know what will." Dawn stated.

"Not to mention, Kenny will be fawning over you in your dress. Plus, you'll need a bit more work." May commented.

"I thought as much." Dawn acknowledged.

"How does this look, guys?" Korrina requested as she came out in her white and red dress.

"Oh, wow! That certainly does speak volumes for you." Serena commented.

"Yeah, No kidding." Dawn added.

Misty had put on her dress and came out with her hair down and the girls saw how lengthy it had gotten. It was a bit past her shoulders and they certainly knew how to handle this for her. Not to mention how they knew they were going to handle Dawn. May, Serena, Iris and Daisy assisted Misty as Zoey, Marina and Giselle assisted with her looks.

Misty and Dawn looked very confused, but the girls took the handles and worked their magic. As they did, the boys were getting themselves ready. Ash put on the black tux with a white dress up shirt underneath as Drew had on a purple suit on as Kenny had his light blue suit on as well.

They each put on their own outfits and managed to get ready for the main event. As they each were coming out, the boys were now in their own suits, waiting downstairs for the girls to come out.

"How well do you all think this will go?" Kenny requested.

"Let's hope we have a great night to remember." Drew told him.

Right after that, they felt a presence and looked up the stairs. There they saw the girls as they were dressed. They were in complete awe as they saw them and they began to walk down the stairs.

It felt like it took them some time as they just gawked at them, seeing how amazing they looked. The girls managed to reach the bottom and they looked up at their own dates. Drew saw amazing May looked and he walked up to her.

Her dress was a light pink in the middle with darker shades of pink going down her sides and white arm gloves. Dawn was in a purple dress with her hair in some twirls. Serena had on the red dress with some white gloves, a red ribbon in her hair and on her waist. The other girls came down in their own outfits as well.

"Speechless, I see." Dawn teased Kenny.

"Uh…Dawn…I – uh." He stammered, feeling very nervous.

She giggled at him before taking his arm. "Come on. We have a dance to attend." She reminded him.

"Uhh…right." He acknowledged as the two of them walked to the dance floor.

Zoey went up to Paul. "You ready?" she requested.

Paul simply nodded a couple of times. "Sure am." He confirmed before she took his arm and laid her head on his shoulder.

The two of them walked to the dance floor and Drew took May's hand.

"Me lady?" he requested as he bowed a bit before kissing her hand.

May giggled as she blushed with her eyes closed and smiled before reopening her eyes. "Such a gentleman." She acknowledged before the two of them too each other's hands.

Each boy greeted their own special girl. Yet Daisy looked like she was about to question Tracy's attire until she let it go and went to the dance floor with him. As they each did, May and Drew were still around Ash and he looked at them.

"Where's Misty at?" he requested.

"Oh, she's on her way." May told him teasingly.

Ash looked a little confused, but at the top of the stairs a figure came out of the hall and went up. Once Ash looked along with May, Drew and Iris, Ash merely gazed at how she looked in that dress and how amazing her hair looked as well. Not only that, but she had on some green nail polish, red lipstick and blush on.

"Oh man." Ash said to himself in a low voice, his mouth hanging open.

May giggled as she went over and closed his mouth. "Careful, Ash. You're drooling." She further teased before going back over to Drew.

"Huh?" Ash wondered as he shook his head to snap out of his trance before looking back to May, seeing her and Drew walk off hand-in-hand. After he watched them, he looked back up and saw Misty walk down and Iris came over, seeing how she looked.

"Oh my, wow! She looks so beautiful." Iris stated.

"Y-yeah. She does." Ash added. As he still stared at her.

Once she came down Iris moved out of the way once Misty went up to Ash and he still gawked at her.

She giggled. "Are you ready to dance?" she requested.

Ash shook his head once again. "Uuhhh…y-yeah." He replied as he offered his arm and she took it. After that they walked to the dance floor.

As they did, Iris watched them with Pikachu on her shoulder and Buneary on the floor as she gave off a sigh. "Seems like they're going to have plenty of fun." She commented. "Hey! Why don't we try some of the food some more." She requested.

"Pika. (You bet.)" he replied.

"Buneary. (But I'd like to have a dance.)" Bunearly said sullenly as the three of them went to get something to eat.

Iris grabbed up a few tooth pics that had cheese blocks on them. Once she did, she ate them one at a time.

"Mmmm. Really good." She commented.

After she did, the lights turned off and there was a spotlight that everyone followed with their eyes up to the top of a different staircase. Up on the staircase was Jean-Peterson, in the same attire that he was wearing on tv.

"Greeting to all of you trainers and coordinators out there. With how everything is going, along with the summer ending. What better way to celebrate it and relax rather than with a dance." He told them cheerfully. "Also, I've decided to give you all a surprise. One other person who has earned the title of Queen a while back: Aria." He told them all. From there and girl began to come out from the top of another set of stairs on the side and she began to walk down.

When they saw her, she had on a white and golden dress, earrings and a tiara. Her hair was a deep pink and her eyes were red.

Everyone looked and watched her come down and Calem recognized her.

"I know her. I've heard about her plenty of times back at home." He told Serena.

"Really?" she requested.

"Yeah. As what he said about her is true. She has earned the title of Queen, but afterwards she left. My guess if that she came here to participate in contests." He told Serena as Aria made it down to Jean-Peterson.

From there she turned and looked at everyone. "Hello, everyone. I'm glad to be here in the Kanto region." She informed all the trainers and coordinators. "Back in my home region, I did earn the Queen title, but not because of royalty; but because of all the hard work I've done in performances. And I came here to the Kanto region to try out contests and become Top Coordinator." She informed everyone there.

"I guess that Serena and I have some extra competition." Dawn commented.

"As for right now everyone…" Aria exclaimed before she looked over to Jean-Peterson.

"Yes! Let's." he concurred. "Let the dance commence." He announced.

From there, music began to play and each person who had a date faced one another. They took hold of each other and started to dance. As they did Iris watched them and smiled at the sight. Even though she didn't have anyone, she was happy the others did. So far, Calem and Serena seemed to be hitting it off very well. Dawn and Kenny seemed happy, but Kenny looked more nervous. Paul and Zoey looked very content with each other.

Ash and Misty were certainly enjoying their own time together and they both stared into one another's eyes. Like as if they were entranced by each other. Drew and May, however. They were dancing like they were already a couple, but May didn't know what would soon be happening with them.

As they all danced, someone approached Iris. When he did Iris looked over to him. He was a bit taller than her. He had white skin, brown hair that looked a bit messy, his suit was light blue and white with some gold trimmings and he had on light blue dress shoes.

Once he made it over, he held out his hand. "Hello. I was wondering if you'd like to dance?" he requested.

Iris seemed very nervous, as wasn't expecting this. Not to mention that the boy she was looking at looked very handsome to her. Een though her heart was pounding in her chest, she nervously took his hand. "S-sure. I'd love to." She answered him.

"Great!" he exclaimed and he escorted her to the dance floor.

She went with him and Pikachu jumped off her shoulder as he watched from the side until Buneary came over to him.

"Bun bun? (Do you want to dance?)" she requested.

Pikachu looked at her as she seemed very happy to be there with him. "Pi. Pikachu. (Sure. Why not.)" he replied. Buneary was very excited and took his paw to go out onto the dance floor.

As they did, the same boy who asked Iris to dance put his hand on her waist as the other held hand and she put her other hand on his chest as they started to dance.

As they did, Misty spotted this and looked over to her side. "Hey, Ash. Look." She told him.

He was a little confused, but he looked over and saw Iris dancing with someone. "What the?" he wondered under his breath.

"She finally has someone to dance with." Misty stated.

"Yeah. No kidding." Ash replied.

But they weren't the only ones who noticed this.

Paul and Zoey saw her dancing with him as well along with May and Drew, Dawn and Kenny and Calem and Serena.

"Wow! I didn't expect for her to have a date." Calem commented.

"Neither did I." Serena added.

"I'm glad she's dancing with someone." Kenny stated.

"I am, too. She certainly deserves someone." Dawn agreed,

"I wonder how well this will pan out." Paul wondered.

"We'll soon find out." Zoey told him as they continued to dance.

As Iris danced with the boy, he twired her around, causing her dress to flutter up slightly.

"I must say. You're a really great dancer." He commented.

"R-really?" she asked.

He smiled with his eyes closed and laughed slightly. "Yes, you are. Also, apologies for not introducing myself. My name is Hilbert." He told her.

"Oh! My name is Iris." She replied.

"Huh! I must say, that sounds like a wonderful name." he complimented her.

"R-really? Wow!" Iris replied bashfully as she continued to blush. "Wh-why am I feeling like this? I just met him and I feel like I'm beginning to fall in love." She thought to herself.

"Also, is there anyone else that you're here with? I thought I saw you with some other trainers?" he requested.

"W-well I came with my friends. They also had dates as well, but I didn't." she informed him.

"Huh? Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But I'll admit, I don't mind being your date." He told her.

Now this made her face blush even more as it began to feel a bit warm. "R-really? Even though we just met?" she requested.

"Ha, ha. Yeah. Or course." He told her before he twirled her.

"Wow! She looks like she's having a great time with him and she seems to be blushing a lot." Marina pointed out.

"No kidding. But I'm glad that she's dancing with someone." Jimmy added.

Iris and Hilbert continued to dance until Iris thought of something. "Did you come with a friend as well?" she requested.

"Yes. Or course. My childhood friend, Hilda." He told her before he looked in a direction and Iris did the same. "She has a date as well and he has traveled from our home region to have a dance with her." He told Iris.

The man that Hilda was dancing with was tall and he had green hair and green eyes. His suit was white with black tip shoes.

"So your childhood friend has a date! I'm surprised you're not dancing with her." Iris stated.

"I know. Plenty of people would think that, but she's more like my sister than anything more. Besides that, she met him a couple of months into our journey in our home region." He told her.

"Huh! What's your home region?" she requested.

"We live in the Unova region." He told her.

"What! Really? That's where I live." She told him as she was completely surprised.

"Really? Well, now. I guess the old saying is true: it's a small world after all." He stated. Iris giggled and continued to dance with him.

As they continued to dance, Drew was beginning to dance May around a bit, wanting to make his move. From his peripheral vision he saw the doors to an outside terrace were open and he danced with her, casually making it to where they slowly stopped dancing and walked outside. May didn't even notice what he was doing as she naturally went with it.

They both walked up to the terrace and saw how beautiful it looked outside, seeing a beautiful garden with not only a lot of flowers, but also a lot of roses.

May took a deep breath through her nose as she closed her eyes, enjoying the fresh air. "Oh, man. Can you smell that fresh air and those flowers?" she requested.

"I certainly can, May." Drew told her.

"It's just so beautiful and peaceful." May said, very content with how things were going.

"Not only is it beautiful out here, but there's someone else who's beautiful." Drew stated, ready to make his move.

She looked over to him, wondering what he meant. "Who's beautiful, Drew?" she requested.

He turned to face her and took her hands into his as she faced him. "You're beautiful, May." He told her as he brought her in, brought his head down as he tilted it slightly, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips on hers.

Her eyes went wide, not expecting this to happen, but with what she was feeling for Drew, she returned the kiss and closed her eyes as she tilted her head slightly as well. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms went around her waist as they shared their first blissful kiss.

As they did, a few of their friends saw this and smiled at the sight as they danced.

"Well now. Seems like those two got together." Misty stated.

"Yeah, no kiddin'." Ash added.

"Seems like they finally did it." Dawn stated.

"Who do you think was more nervous?" Kenny asked as he smiled at them.

"I strongly doubt either one of them have been nervous." Dawn stated as she smiled before laying her head on Kenny's chest. "Much like how I'm not nervous about laying my head right here." She stated, enjoying his embrace on her.

He was blushing a deep red, feeling very nervous about this. "Oh, jeez! Why do I fee so nervous? Primarily because I don't feel worthy enough for her?" he thought to himself.

As Ash and Misty danced, she laid her head on his chest as well and he wrapped his arms around her and she felt his warm embrace. Her eyes glistened as she felt very relaxed to be in his arms.

But even as they danced, Jean-Peterson took Aria down to the floor with him and took her hand, putting his free hand on her waist and she put her hand on his chest and they both danced as well.

Back with May and Drew. They had been sharing their first kiss for a bit of time until they both broke it and May looked at Drew, very much surprised that he made that move and he smiled at her.

"If there's one thing I want to tell you, May, is that…I love you." He told her sincerely.

Now this hit May incredibly well as she felt the same about Drew. After he told her this she jumped up, wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply and he managed to catch her and spun them both around, returning the kiss. She wanted to wrap her legs around his waist, but her dress wasn't made for that. Plus, she knew she didn't want to lift it like that. She only held onto her boyfriend with that deep kiss and broke the kiss.

"I-I want to remain with you. Even if both compete at the same time." She told him, letting her feelings spill out.

He let out a small laugh. "I understand you on that." He replied. Right after, they both walked back into the building, hand-in-hand still as they smiled.

They faced each other once more and continued to dance, but there was something they each noticed. They looked over and saw Iris dancing with someone.

"Is-is Iris?" May questioned.

"She is, And it looks like something's happening between them as she looks very happy." Drew replied.

And Iris was very happy as she danced with a boy who was very charming to her as she couldn't stop staring into his eyes.

As time had passed on at the dance, everyone had some drinks and food there, even as the boys and girls took some small breaks before rejoining their dates on the dance floor. As the night dwindled down, everyone was informed to go outside as they enjoyed fireworks. The girls remained next to their dates, holding onto them.

Iris remained with Hilbert as she laid her head on his shoulder and he had his arm around her waist as they went off their own instincts.

It was once they all headed back, they all had changed into their original clothes and they had returned to the Pokémon Center. Once they did, Iris found out her date was in the same Pokémon Center. He kissed her hand to say goodnight, but she went up and kissed his cheek. She blushed as she went into the girls room, still looking at him as she slowly closed the door. Wanting to take in every detail.

Hilbert sighed with content as he went to the room that he and Hilda shared.

Once Iris was in, she did the same as Misty. Sighing, as she laid against the door until she looked up and saw the girls, now in their pjs. They smiled and grabbed Iris, putting her on one of the beds.

"Okay, spill." Zoey demanded as she was grinning ear to ear.

"You definitely have a boyfriend now. Don't you!" Dawn exclaimed with excitement.

"And don't deny anything either. We all saw you dancing with him." Misty told her.

"So, tell us! What all happened?" Serena requested.

Iris blushed immensely as she poked her finger together. "W-well…he came over and requested a dance." She told them rather nervously and shyly.

"There's more to it than that." May stated. "Much like with me and Drew. You're in love with him." She pointed out.

"Is it that obvious?" Iris questioned.

"Well duh! It's clear as day on your face." Dawn stated.

"You can't deny it either." Zoey told her.

"Not to mention, we have a new couple on our hands." Misty acknowledged as she looked over to May.

May looked at her, a bit puzzled then realized what she meant.

"Oh yeah! Her and Drew are together now." Dawn stated.

"I can't believe this night. We now have a new couple and someone who is in love." Serena stated.

"Unfortunately, Drew and I are leaving in a couple of days." May told them. They all looked at her, not believing this.

"Awe, man. This is a bummer." Dawn piped up.

"Yep. I'm afraid so. We came here to take a breather from the contests in Sinnoh. Primarily since he's close to getting all five ribbons." May told them.

"How long until you both are ready for the Grand Festival?" Zoey requested.

"Well, we're hoping to wrap up in a couple of months. By then we might be able to return to Kanto for some time until the Grand Festival starts." May added.

"By then we can continue to travel together." Iris stated.

"So then, what are the decisions from our leader and her second in command?" Dawn requested and she looked to Misty and Zoey.

"Wait! What?" Zoey questioned.

"She is right you know." Iris confirmed.

"You both, along with Ash and Paul are our main leaders and second in commands." May added.

"Me, a leader?" Misty questioned.

"And me her second in command?" Zoey questioned as well.

"Even I'll admit that that's how you both have been acting for the amount of time we've been traveling together." Serena stated.

Now this wasn't something that Misty and Zoey didn't expect. But with Ash and the others. Even Drew had informed them about what he and May were going to be doing in a couple of days. But then they looked to Ash and Paul as they had acted like leaders during their journey.

"Me and Paul… leaders?" Ash questioned.

"How am I even second in command?" he requested.

"Trust us. We've noticed how you both acted. I might have acted like a leader as well, but not as well as Ash. Especially since Paul has proven to be your second in command." Calem admitted.

"I will say this. I'm going to miss being on this journey until we're finished in Sinnoh." Drew stated.

"No kidding. It feels like it won't be the same without you and May being with us." Ash stated.

"Not to mention her brother. I do miss him at times." Drew added.

"I agree on that as well. Hence is why we'll give you guys a proper send off." Ash stated.

They all agreed before they went to bed.

It was after the next couple of days, they had a farewell party for May and Drew and they were now at the port, saying farewell.

"Well guys. It was great." Drew told them.

"Unfortunately we do have to go. But we do plan on coming back." May told them.

"I'm surprised you both are going to come back." Misty told her.

"Yeah, I thought that you wanted to travel on your own." Ash reminded her.

"Yeah…well. It was very difficult at first. But it was months in when I was traveling on my own, Drew started helping me out as he understands what it's like to be on your own." She told them as she recalled Drew offering his hand when they meet up in the woods. "After that, we began to feel inseparable and he began taking me out on dates." May informed them.

"I honestly thought it was my duty to assist a beautiful girl like her. After I found out you guys went your separate ways, I knew I had to keep an eye on May – for just in case." Drew told them.

"Glad you did. Otherwise, I don't think we would've gotten this close to you and started this relationship." She stated as she went up to him and kissed his cheek. Right after that, they heard the horn on the ship blow, signaling it was ready to depart. "Oh no!" May exclaimed and she went to the others. "I'm so sorry." She told them and gave each of them a hug. "We need to get moving." She stated.

"I agree." Drew added as she bid farewell to them with a hug, or a handshake or clasping hands. But Ash was a bit longer. "Hey, Ash. Take good care of them, and Misty. I know how much you like her." He stated.

"Will do. And you take good care of May." Ash told him as they smiled at each other.

Not long after, the couple boarded the ship for Sinnoh and it launched.

"FAREWELL, GUYS! WE'LL MISS YOU ALL." May called out.

"JUST BECAREFUL ON YOUR JOURNEY'S." Drew added.

The others waved back, saying farewell and such.

"OH! AND IRIS." May called out. Iris paused as she did and looked at her. "YOU BEST NOT LET HILBERT GET AWAY. OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT BE ON THE HUNT AGAIN." May cautioned her as she smiled, teasing her a tad bit.

Iris giggled as she closed her eyes and tiled her head before getting them back into posture. "I'LL DO MY BEST. BUT YOU AND DREW TAKE CARE NOW!" Iris replied as she continued to wave.

It wasn't long until the boat that May and Drew were on vanished in the distance and everyone looked to one another. Ash gripped his backpack and adjusted it a bit.

"Okay, everyone. Are we all ready?" he requested.

"Mosty certainly." Dawn told him and they all started back.

"We'll set up camp real soon." Paul told them.

"I saw a pretty good spot not too far from here." Zoey added.

"Then let's get things done and have something to eat. I know I'm hungry." Ash acknowledged.

Misty giggled. "You're always hungry." She reminded him.

They all had a laugh as they all continued on to the woods, on their journey through Kanto. Not to mention, with May and Drew, they were ready to continue their journey. Not just in Sinnoh, but together as a couple. But even as everyone does continue their journey, something is brewing elsewhere.

May and Drew were leaning up against the railing as the sun was starting to set. But they then noticed something off in the reflection in the water, As they continued to look, May and Drew noticed something as it became clearer. They saw what looked to be two giant metal beings, reminding them of what happened over sometime prior.

"What in the world?" May questioned under her breath.

"Are you even sure this thing is working?" one of them requested.

"It certainly should be. After all, this is our new home now." The other one stated.

"Only because we got blasted here, remember?" the first one stated.

"No thanks to a certain someone." The other one added.

"As of right now…huh? It looks like it's peering into another universe." The first one pointed out.

"So what? Let's go ahead and get it set up." His colleague told him.

"Not right yet. We still have some tests to do. Especially since we need to try and get back to our home planet." The first one stated as the device was deactivated.

May and Drew looked very confused at what all had occurred as this was like DeJa'Vu.
