Chapter 1: Journey to the Past(SilverXLyra)

Lyra and Silver stared at the tiny green legendary Pokemon who in return stared right back at them. It then quickly twirled around Silver leaving a trail of glitter behind it. Silver then stood in a daze and Lyra's heart clenched with worry as she watched Silver collapse onto the hard, rocky ground. She rushed to his side, her small hands gripping his tightly, as she desperately searched for any signs of life. Meanwhile, Celebi stood nearby, its small frame completely still as it surveyed the scene.

"What did you do to him?" Lyra's voice was strained as she turned her gaze to the small green creature. Her eyes were filled with concern as she tried to piece together what had happened to her friend.

Celebi stared at her for a moment, its eyes seeming to hold a deep understanding of the situation. Then it flew over to Silver and placed its tiny hands on his chest. As it did, the cave around them began to spin and blur until everything went black.When Lyra opened her eyes, she found herself in a small, brightly lit room filled with toys. Silver, who had been unconscious just moments before, now rested peacefully on the floor with a smile on his face. Lyra's eyes widened as she looked around and saw two people in the room with them. One was a small toddler version of Silver, and the other was a man wearing a uniform that Lyra recognized all too well.

"Daddy!" Baby Silver exclaimed joyfully as he reached out his chubby arms towards the man.

It was Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, but he looked different somehow. Younger, yes, but there was something else, too. He looked happy, carefree, and unburdened by the weight of the world. As he lifted his son into his arms, Lyra realized that this was Giovanni before he became the corrupt and ruthless leader of Team Rocket.The room began to swirl and Lyra felt a cold wind on her face. When it stopped, she found herself standing in a new room, surrounded by posters of Pokémon and Team Rocket. In the center of the room was a young boy, about six years old, staring expectantly at the door. Suddenly, it opened, and in walked Giovanni, looking tired but still smiling as his son ran to him.

Lyra watched as the room changed once again, this time becoming a dark and foreboding place. Silver, now a teenager, stood facing his father, his back to Lyra. Giovanni's expression had changed, too; no longer happy, he now looked cruel and tired.

"I don't want anything to do with Team Rocket, Father!" Silver's voice was filled with anger and frustration.

"You don't know what you want yet! You're still just a child! Everything I'm doing is for you, Silver. There's no way you can make your way in this world with that stupid kind heart of yours!" Giovanni's voice was harsh, his face twisted with anger.

"I don't need to be strong with your help! I can do it all on my own!" Silver's voice was shaking, his eyes filled with tears. "I don't need you anymore!"

With that, Silver turned and ran, disappearing into the thick, swirling fog. Lyra tried to follow him with her eyes, but the fog obscured everything. She heard a groan next to her and saw that Silver was still sleeping, tears streaming down his face. It finally hit her: she had just witnessed Silver's memories, thanks to Celebi's power.

Lyra looked down at Celebi, who seemed to nod in agreement, then removed its hands from Silver's chest. Suddenly, everything disappeared, and Lyra found herself back in the cave where they had started. She looked down at Silver, relieved to see that he was still breathing, but she knew that she would never forget what she had seen.

Notes:

Hehe so i saw this cute idea where Giovanni had loved his son at some point and Kaboom! A idea popped into mind then I saw a pic and I just knew I had to write it! So here we are! Also decided to open this up for any requests of any one-shots of pokemon ships. So feel free to leave a request! This will probably be updated every other day but I make no promises :)

Chapter 2: Meteor Shower(AshxSerena)

Ash gently nudged Serena who was sound asleep. She slowly opened her eyes to find Ash staring at her intently.

"Serena, wake up," Ash said in an excited tone as he pointed toward the sky, "Stars are falling like crazy! It's so awesome!"

Serena rubbed her eyes and sat up, curious to see what Ash was talking about. As she looked up, she was awestruck by the sight of dozens of stars falling from the sky. It was one of the most magnificent sights she had ever seen. As Ash watched her reaction, he couldn't help but feel pleased that he had woken her up to witness the meteor shower.

"Oo! It's a meteor shower! I've never seen one before!" Serena exclaimed, completely mesmerized by the beauty of the falling stars, "They rarely ever appear in Kalos,"

Ash's eyes shone with excitement as he replied, "Same here, that's why I thought I would wake you up to see it."

"Did you wake Clemont and Bonnie?" Serena asked curiously.

Ash hesitated for a moment before replying sheepishly, "Oh, umm, well, I thought maybe for a few moments, just you and I could enjoy it."

Serena felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, but she was glad it was dark, so Ash couldn't see it. So the two sat in silence, watching as the meteor shower continued, enjoying each other's company under the starry sky.

Notes:

Sorry this isn't long but I honestly wanted this to be a cute simple one-shot.

Chapter 3: Interrupted Day(RosaxHugh)

On a bright and sunny summer day, Rosa found herself accompanying her co-star Ace to the Nimbasa summer festival. The two had just finished filming a successful romance movie together, and Ace wanted to celebrate their achievement by spending some time together at the festival. As they approached the Nimbasa Ferris wheel, Rosa, being the normally oblivious girl she was, didn't notice the nervous expression on Ace's face as he fidgeted with the door to one of the carriages.

"Thank you!" Rosa exclaimed as she hopped into the carriage with him following her in.

"No problem!" he stated, blushing.

"Poor fellow," Rosa thought, though still oblivious to Ace's feelings," He's probably just hot."

"So...the producer...Clara de Belle.... Offered me another spot for another romance film," Ace slowly stated, his face turning redder.

"That's great!" congratulated Rosa," Also you want to open a window? You're getting red"

"UH! That would be great!" Ace quickly stated, fumbling to open the window then turned his attention back at Rosa," As I was saying..."

"Yes?" Rosa questioned, tilting her head.

"She wanted to offer the other lead role to you again!" Ace stuttered as he squeezed his eyes shut," Be-be-because s-she thought we were... C-c-cute together!"

"Hold up!" a random voice declared, surprising Ace and Rosa."

"Who said that?" Rosa exclaimed as she was surprised to hear a voice.

"OUTSIDE!" the voice rang, a hand dangling in front of the window on Ace's side" HELP ME IN!"

Ace glanced outside his window and his eyes widened with surprise.

"Oh gosh! Let me help you!" he exclaimed," Grab my hand!"

Rosa then saw the all too familiar red and white jacket. She watched the two carefully maneuver the person outside, to safety.

"Whew! I was scared out of my mind!" Hugh exclaimed as he wiped his forehead and plopped himself right next to Rosa.

"Why were you even on top of a Ferris Wheel carriage?" Rosa questioned through clenched teeth.

"Uhhh...Maintenance?" Hugh responded while scratching his cheek.

"Do you know him?" Ace asked with wide eyes.

"This is a friend of mine from my hometown," Rosa sighed," and I guess now he is a maintenance guy too,"

Hugh ignored Rosa's glare.

"Oh, I see! I wonder how you were able to get on without me and Rosa noticing," Ace mused.

"I am really good at being quiet," Hugh grinned, flashing his teeth.

"Mmmm intriguing," Ace stated," and why didn't you try to call for help earlier?"

"Well...I did!" Hugh stated," I banged on the carriage but you guys must've not heard,"

Rosa glared at Hugh knowing he was lying.

"I see.." Ace looked down fidgeting with his fingers.

The carriage was filled with silence before Rosa became too uncomfortable with it.

"You were going to ask me something Ace?" Rosa questioned, finally breaking the silence," Before Hugh interrupted."

"Ah yes!" Ace glanced up hurriedly," Would you consider doing another romance film with me?"

"Do you guys kiss?" Hugh interrupted, with wide eyes as he sat up from his slouching position.

"NO!" Ace exclaimed loudly then blushed..." at least not what I know of."

"I'm going to kill Hugh once we make it back down," Rosa thought.

"So would you do it?" Ace asked, turning his attention back to Rosa.

"I would love to!" Rosa responded with the biggest grin she could give.

"Ok! I'll tell Clara!" Ace exclaimed excitedly while Hugh looked stormily down at the floor.

After a moment of that mood. Their ride was over.

"I'll see you next week for the filming, Rosa!" Ace exclaimed excitedly as he hurried away.

Rosa waved goodbye and then looked at Hugh whose face was downcasted.

"Ok...come here mister grumpy!" Rosa stated, reaching her hand out," It's not my fault you want to keep our relationship a secret."

"I just don't like my girlfriend being in romantic films...it's awkward watching you look like you're in love with someone else," Hugh complained," I mean! Have you seen all the pictures in the media saying you and Ace should get together?"

"Then how about you joining me for the opening night? Then we can finally tell everyone that I am taken?" Rosa offered as she grabbed Hugh's hand.

"I might have too..." Hugh groaned," To make sure that Mister Ace stays away."

"Oh, Hugh.." Rosa laughed and smiled," When you join me as my date to the opening night then Ace will know that I am yours."

"I like the sound of that," Hugh grinned, pulling Rosa closer to him.

"I knew you would," Rosa giggled as she kissed him.

Chapter 4: Growth(AshXMisty)

Misty waited impatiently for Ash to return from Hoenn. He had sent word to his mother who then told her of his arrival. Finally, that all too familiar short boy came running down the hill with his faithful Pikachu on his shoulder.

“Hey! Small boy!” Misty exclaimed excitedly, looking down to see him and scornfully thought,” Hehe shortstock!”

“Darn! I am still shorter than you!” Ash groaned with Misty laughing.

Sadly his visit was short lived as he was soon off on another adventure. This time in Sinnoh.

A year passed by after Ash had gone, till again news of his coming home from Sinnoh came to her ears. Misty found herself standing in the same spot as last time, and there again came running a slightly taller version of the boy, but he was still significantly shorter than her. They both stayed where they stood , as Ash recounted the tales about his whole journey through Sinnoh. From seeing Brock, meeting a girl named Dawn, to meeting the champion of Sinnoh, and some random purple-haired rival who sounded like a butt-head. He also made a side comment about his height again.

Misty was sad to see him leave once again, this time to Unova. She was slightly tempted to ask to join him but knew she had her duties as the Cerulean gym leader so she held back.

Another year passed and Misty caught rumors that Ash was returning. So she went to their normal meet up point to await his arrival. Finally, after going to Pallet Town for the fifth time she spotted the boy whose body seemed taller and quite wiry looking.

Misty noticed that he was almost about her height and his voice had begun its cracking phase.

“He’s getting taller and older,” Misty thought but quickly shook the idea out of her head.

Like last time, he talked all about his Unova journey and how he was able to travel with one of the gym leaders from Unova and some crazy wild girl who loved dragon-type. He then teased her about how he was slowly growing taller.

“Man, it was so much fun!” Ash commented as he dusted off his hat.

Misty gave him a grin but felt regret that she didn’t ask to join him for his Unova journey.

This time she was planning to ask to join him but the next time she would see him would be another year due to his abrupt departure for Kalos. She visited Delia once every week to keep tabs on how

Ash was doing and after a year and a half. Ash was finally going to return home. On that fateful day, Misty stood on the all-too-familiar road that led to Pallet town. After waiting for a few hours she spotted the outline coming towards her. It was a raven-haired boy who was returning from one of his many journeys.

“Ash!” she exclaimed running towards him until something hit her.

Instead of looking down at him. She slowly turned her head upward until her eyes reached Ash’s. They were above her head and his voice was much deeper and had lost the crack. His body had filed out to match with the major growth he gained.

“Heyo! Misty!! Ash exclaimed happily as he hugged her.

Misty felt her feet being lifted off the ground.

“No way! He is taller than me!” Misty thought to herself.

“Hehe! You’ve noticed!” Ash exclaimed proudly, grinning,” Now you can’t say you're taller!”

Misty for once was dumbfounded. She had always dreaded the day he would surpass her but for some reason, she was fine with it.

“You ok Mist?” Ash questioned tilting his head, noticing her mood

“I’m fine you giant!” Misty smiled and punched him on the shoulder,” Just can’t believe you're taller than me!”

“Hehe!” Ash smirked.

Misty was caught off guard when Ash slowly put his hands into hers.

“I’ve missed you, Misty,” he murmured as he placed his head slightly on top of her’s

“Me too,” Misty sighed leaning on his shoulder,” Me too, my tall boy.”

Chapter 5: A Loss But Yet a Gain(DawnXPaul)

Dawn sat on the docks, still wearing her night blue swing dress that sparkled as the sunset shined on it. She had lost to May in the Hoenn Festival and was feeling disappointed. She curled up, putting her head on her legs.

“Well look who it is,” a voice sliced through the silence.

“Don’t tell me,” Dawn groaned, looking over to see if her assumption was correct,” What do you need Paul?”

“Mmpf! I came here to tell you that we have to leave early tomorrow. I want to try to make it for a tournament they're having,” he stated in his normal no-nonsense way.

“Give me some space! I just lost the festival!” Dawn snapped, glaring at Paul.

“Whatever,” Paul commented.

Dawn half expected him to leave but to her surprise, he just sat right next to her.

“It stinks losing, doesn’t it?” he stated, staring out at the sea.

“I’ve lost before but this time…I really thought I had it!” Dawn sighed as leaned on her knees, looking over at him.

“Well, they don’t call what’s-her-name, the princess of Hoenn for nothing,” Paul commented,” her Beautifly was incredibly strong and elegant at the same time!”

“Her name is May, and yes! I know how good her Beautifly is,” Dawn groaned, not sure if Paul was making it better or not.

The two of them sat in silence before Paul spoke again.

“Anyways, at least you learn as you fail,” Paul spoke, as he stretched his arms,” I mean failing is what helps you see where you lack,”

Dawn looked at Paul and smiled.

“That is weird hearing you say,” Dawn smirked.

“Which is why I don’t say it often,” Paul stated then slightly blushed,” I mean…we are friends right?”

Dawn blushed at the thought of being friends with Paul but he wasn’t wrong. This was the second region they had been traveling together.

“We would be considered friends…right?” Dawn mused to herself, tightening her grip around her legs.

“Thanks, Paul,” Dawn quietly spoke as she looked over at him.

“No worries,” Paul slightly smiled as he stared back at her then placed his hand on hers.

The two stared at each other and it was as if the whole world froze as the sunset rays reflected off the ocean. They slowly moved closer to each other until their lips touched. Paul tightened his grip on her hand as he held it. After a moment Paul pulled away and abruptly stood up.

"Anyways! Remember! Leaving around 6 in the morning!" he declared, trying to run off.

But alas, he didn’t realize what way he was going and before Dawn could say anything. He walked right off the deck right into the ocean.

“Paul!” she screamed after him but misplaced her hand and came tumbling right after him, into the water.

After gasping for air, the two of them quickly started treading water and could only look at each other and laugh. As they tried staying afloat, the two of them could only feel content as they both watched the sunset slowly disappear on the horizon. Anticipating to see what the future had in store for them.

Chapter 6: Birthday Roses(MayxDrew)

Drew fiddled with the rose he had prepared for May. He and her were meeting up, to coordinate their double team for one of the Special Contests being held where a duo enters and can both win a ribbon.

“Good job June!” Drew practiced speaking but then shook his head,” No…I say that too much! Ah, I got it! I’ll say not bad Autumn! Yea!”

He shook his head as he felt satisfied that he didn’t notice May arriving.

“HEY DREW!” her voice rang out,” I’ve finally arrived!”

“Took you long enough,” Drew scoffed though deep down he was panicking.

“I’ve got something for you!” May grinned mischievously, her hands behind her back.

“Really for me?” Drew asked in shock, hoping he wasn’t blushing.

“Yea!!! A birdie told me it was someone’s birthday! So I got you a bouquet of roses!” she squealed, pulling behind her back dozens of roses,” Happy birthday Drew!”

“Solidad!” Drew growled though he was touched at May’s thoughtfulness,” Oh thank you.”

“You don’t like them, do you?” May questioned, and Drew could’ve sworn her ponytails grew limp.

“No!” he quickly responded, accepting the roses,” I am just surprised you know it's my birthday!”

“Hahaha! I’m your friend! Of course, I had to find out and since you always gave me roses! I’ve counted all the roses you’ve given me over all the years and decided to give you back the same amount!” May giggled.

Drew knew he was blushing so he quickly buried his face in the flowers and muttered a thanks.

"She remembers all the times I gave her roses?" he pondered and his heart raced at that thought.

After a few moments, he regained his composure and slowly brought out the rose he was planning to give to her.

“I was going to give you another one today,” he slowly stuttered, pulling his face out of the roses.

“Oh! Thanks!” May responded by accepting the roses,” I guess I will have to buy another sometime.”

“Or you can pay me by something else…” Drew declared before realizing what he just said,” I mean!!!”

“Oh, so like a date?” May exclaimed.

“Nooo! Not like that bu—” Drew started exclaiming before May cut him off.

“I would love to have a date with you,” May stated, her face becoming red.

“You would want to have a date with me?” Drew stuttered, dropping his roses.

“Mhmm…” May shyly responded,” I’ve been meaning to ask you but I never knew how…”

Drew stood dumbfounded at this revelation.

“You mean you like me?” he screeched.

“Well, isn’t that obvious?” May questioned.

“Oh…true,” Drew laughed nervously,” Well I guess I’ll accept!”

“Great! Let's get lunch and I’ll pay since it's your birthday!” she exclaimed happily, grabbing his arm and running causing him to drop his roses.

“Wait what? I thought we were training for the special competition?” Drew questioned,” Plus my roses!”

“We can train another time! And who cares about roses when you get to hang out with me!” May exclaimed excitedly, still dragging Drew.

She then started laughing as she was holding on to Drew and he couldn’t help but laugh along.

Chapter 7: Mysterious feelings(DawnXPaul)

Notes:

This was a request from Eva!
Hope ya enjoy!

Dawn sniffed the hydrangeas after she poured water into them. It was a cold, bleak day and the day felt even slower as her shop, “ Floral Sunrise” had nobody even though it was almost mid-day.

“Pff…what a busy day!” she said to herself sarcastically as she bent over to check her Tiger lilies.

Then all of a sudden she heard the front bell ring.

“Welcome to Floral Sunrise!” she exclaimed excitedly as she stood up,” How may I help you today?”

Dawn noticed it was a familiar guy. His purple hair was longer than last time and he still had the scary glare from last time.

“Pff… cringey name,” he commented.

Dawn felt herself feel angrier than a bee whose hive had been ruined.

“Hold up, mister! Don’t think you can waltz in here to make fun of my floral shop!” Dawn exclaimed, "Besides! Why would YOU be in a floral shop?”

“I was getting some for Reggie,” Paul rolled his eyes.

“Oh is it his birthday?” Dawn questioned.

“No, for his girlfriend,” Paul stated curtly.

“Aww! Is it for Maylene?” Dawn exclaimed, quickly forgetting Paul's comment” How awesome.”

Dawn ignored the disgusted face Paul was giving her.

“What’s so cool about flowers?” Paul questioned as he fiddled with one of the plant's leaves,” You grow them, cut them, give them, then they die? Why waste all the effort for something so pathetic in life?”

“Because they bring joy to people’s lives!” Dawn exclaimed,” It's so nice!”

“Whatever, just give me a dozen roses,” Paul stated, leaning against the counter.

“Coming right up,” Dawn growled, thinking how satisfying it would be to smack him with them.

“What color?” Dawn questioned.

“Does color even matter?” Paul asked, giving her an I'm-just-ready-to-leave look.

“Well of course!” Dawn exclaimed, clasping her hands together,” You could give red which means romance! Or white means in remembrance, or pink means appreciation, and then there’s my personal favorite! Blue roses mean mystery and illusion!”

Dawn looked over at Paul who looked like he didn't care one bit.

“Just get me red roses,” Paul muttered.

After getting him the flowers, she watched him walk away.

“Have a great day!” she exclaimed.

“Mmpf!” Paul grunted as he hurriedly walked out of the store,” how troublesome,”

During the rest of the week though, Paul had come to the store every day. And his excuse was that he was either getting flowers for Reggie or Maylene. He would also stay and talk with (but mostly listened to) Dawn prattle about flowers.

“What are you doing back here?” Dawn questioned for the hundredth time this month, looking straight at him.

“Reggie sent me for more flowers,” Paul sighed.

“Why doesn’t he just get them himself?” Dawn sharply asked, raising her eyebrow,” Besides! Why do they want so many flowers?”

“Wish I knew,” Paul replied, placing his hand on his head as if getting a headache.

“What will it be this time?” Dawn sighed in resignation grabbing her clippers.

“Just a single rose,” Paul responded.

“What color?”

“Well… um…a blue one,” Paul responded, slightly blushing.

“A blue one? You do remember what the blue one means right? Wouldn’t you want to have Reggie give Maylene a pink or red one?” Dawn questioned.

“No, just give me the blue one!” Paul quickly stated then looked away.

“Fine!” Dawn responded,” And how about asking Reggie or Maylene themselves to come next time?”

“I guess so,” Paul frowned.

“Well anyways…here you go!” Dawn grinned, handing him the rose with a ribbon tied around its stem.

With that, Paul turned around and hurried away like he normally did every time.

The next day Dawn started expectedly at the door but he didn’t come through.

“Wait! Why am I waiting for his return?” she exclaimed, smacking her face before turning the sign open to close.”

The next few days he still didn’t come and Dawn felt kind of lonely without him. When it seemed like he wasn’t coming back, he appeared holding something behind his back.

“Your back!” Dawn exclaimed in shock, almost dropping the clay pots she was holding.

“Yeah,” Paul replied.

Dawn then realized she was way too excited for him returning and tried to calm down.

“What flowers do you wish to get for Reggie?” Dawn asked, placing her pots down and reaching for her gloves.

“I’m not here for Reggie this time,” Paul slowly stated.

“Oh ok! How about Maylene? Let me guess. She wants the honeysuckles for her honey?” Dawn joked.

“Nope,” Paul replied, shifting his feet.

“Then who are you here for?” Dawn exclaimed, feeling rather annoyed.

“Nothing,” Paul responded, turning around abruptly and leaving.

Dawn watched as he walked out of the store but realized there was a notebook left on the ground. It was a brown leather notebook that was quite plain. She walked to it and then picked it up.

“What’s this?” she murmured, opening it.

On the first page was a dried blue rose that had been pressed into the book. Dawn fingered the dried rose in the notebook and then turned to the next page. There she discovered handwriting.

The Blue Rose is a sign of mystery and illusion. Just like these feelings I’ve felt this past month. I’ve been lonely my whole life since my parent's death even though I have had Reggie but he has always been too busy with Maylene. Though recently I have found comfort in the Floral Sunrise and you. Like the flowers Reggie gives to Maylene which brings her joy. I think I have realized what type of flower I find enjoyable. They are one of a kind. Its name is Dawn. Anyways, I’m leaving the region and I’ve left something. So if you could, please reach out. -Paul.

Dawn stared at the numbers that were scribbled underneath the signature.

“Paul…” she muttered as she stared at her phone on the counter.

She reached for it and typed in the number. Then all Dawn could hear was the connection ding as she awaited for Paul’s voice.

“Look behind you,” Paul’s voice declared through the phone.

Dawn looked behind her to discover Paul standing there with his phone near his ear.

Both of their minds were filled with the same thought as if their emotions and feelings had been connected for a brief moment.

“Let’s discover what this wonderful, mysterious feeling is,”

Chapter 8: Beautifly View (AshXMay)

May put her hand in front of her face to block out the sun that was shining down into the green field she, Brock, and Ash had camped out. In the distance, was a field that was adorned with thousands of vibrant flowers.

“Do you know they say Beautifly can be found by a multitude in a huge field of flowers,” Ash exclaimed, as he stood next to her.

“Really?” May exclaimed,” I wonder if this field is?”

“Let’s find out!” Ash declared, running towards the field.

“Hold up!” May exclaimed, grabbing Ash by the collar,” You can’t just run in there to frighten them!”

“Oh… yea,” Ash laughed, scratching his head.

“I got an idea! Let’s send out my Beautifly!” May declared after a moment of them mulling over ideas,” Come on out and steal the spotlight Beautifly!”

With that, May threw her Pokeball and her Beautifly appeared.

“Beeeuuu!” it cried out as it flew next to May.

“Hey, Beautifly! Why not go find out if there are any friends over there in the fields?” May questioned, pointing at the flowery field.

Beautifly glanced from May’s finger to the field and with a shake of its head. It flew straight towards it. After a few moments of flying over the field. May and Ash spotted a few Beautiflys sticking their antennas out of the field as they spotted May’s. Then suddenly dozens of them flew into the air and swirled around May’s Beautifly as if they were checking it out.

“Beauu!” May’s Beautifly squealed as it was talking to them.

“Wow, there are so many!” Ash exclaimed.

“Yea!” May agreed, entranced with the beautiful sight of all the Beautiflys.

“This is awesome!” Ash laughed as he ran towards the field.

“Ash!” May exclaimed as she followed him,” don’t frighten them!”

Ash didn’t heed May’s warning and just ran right into the field which startled all the Beautiflys, causing them to fly away.

"Aw, man!" Ash groaned in disappointment.

“I told you!” May stated as she was trying to catch her breath.

May’s Beautifly flew down on May’s head and squeaked.

“Do you think you can bring them back?” May questioned looking at her Beautifly.

“Beu! Beau!” it exclaimed excitedly and flew off in the direction they all fled.

Ash plopped onto the ground, smashing flowers along the way.

“You think Beautifly can bring them back?” Ash asked.

“Yeah,” May responded, sitting next to Ash,” I know it will! It is the most friendliest Beautifly I know!”

“Pokemon-like trainer,” Ash muttered, slightly blushing as he glanced at May.

"What did you say?" May asked, turning towards him with a curious expression.

“Oh, nothing! Ash quickly responded, laughing nervously.

After a few moments of silence, May spotted her Beautifly and behind it, were the wild ones.

“I knew it could do it!” May exclaimed proudly,” And this time don’t scare them away!”

“Don’t worry! I won’t!” Ash grinned.

May and Ash watched as May’s Beautifly flew around them with the others following the suit. Ash glanced over at May as they swirled around her making her look very pretty as she twirled along with them. Her smile lightened up the field and her eyes sparkled as they reflected the sunset rays.

"This is a beautiful sight," he thought, forever etching the experience in his mind.

Hope you enjoy!

“May!” Dawn squealed happily as she spotted her.

“Dawn! I didn’t know you were in the Hoenn Contests?” May exclaimed in surprise.

“Yea! I decided to come here after I went through Johto,” Dawn explained.

“Hey, troublesome! I’m going to go train,” Paul’s voice declared as he walked towards the door.

“Is that your duo partner?” May asked her hand over her mouth.

“Duo partner?” Dawn questioned with confusion.

“Yea! This contest is a special type! It's where two people can partner up and they can both help each other with their appeals and battles! In the end, the duo who is last standing will both receive a Ribbon!” May explained.

“Really?” Dawn groaned,” I don’t have a partner!”

“But what about the dude you just talked to?” May asked.

“He’s just my traveling partner! I mean seriously? Does he look like a person who would be in the contest ring?” Dawn asked, giggling at the thought of Paul in formal attire and his face with a scowl.

“I guess you're right…but what are you going to do now? Since you don’t have a partner?” May murmured.

“Could I partner up with you?” Dawn asked.

“I’m sorry but I already have one,” May replied, blushing.

“Who?” Dawn asked, tilting her head,” Is it Solidad?”

“Hey, May! I signed us up,” A greenhead exclaimed as he walked to May.

“Drew?” Dawn exclaimed,” You guys are surely going to win!”

“Oh, who is this?” Drew asked as he noticed Dawn.

“My friend, Dawn!” May explained,” She's the one I lost to in the Wallace Cup.”

“I thought she looked familiar,” Drew flashed a grin,” Who would’ve guessed you could defeat a pro like May.”

He then flipped his hair as he stood as if posing.

“Shut up Drew!” May exclaimed as she smacked his head.

“Ouch!” He groaned, rubbing his head.

“Sorry about him!” May apologized,” Anyways! What do you plan to do now about the contest?”

“I guess I won’t enter,” Dawn sighed.

“You should try to coax that sourhead to join ya!” May exclaimed, her face lighting up

“Paul?” Dawn murmured.

“Who’s a sourhead?” a voice spoke, frightening the girls.

“Paul! When did you return!” Dawn exclaimed. “Just a second ago,” Paul replied bluntly.

“Well, Dawn here needs a partner to join this contest!” May quickly exclaimed pushing Dawn towards him.

“No,” Paul replied.

Why not?” May questioned.

“It’s ok May! I can sit out this one,” Dawn tried telling her.

“Mmpf! Of course, you wouldn’t want to sign up,” Drew stated, his voice laced with arrogance.

“What was that?” Paul looked over at him.

“I mean! Imagine if such a sourhead were to participate in a contest. Man, that would give contests a bad name,” Drew commented and then smirked.

Dawn glanced at both Drew and Paul.

“Does Drew want to die!?” Dawn screamed inside.

“Say that again?” Paul stated through clenched teeth.

“I said, you would give contests a bad name and you wouldn’t even stand a chance against me and my Pokemon’s superiority,” Drew stated, placing his hand on his hip.

“Is that a challenge?” Paul asked, glaring at Drew.

“Depends how you look at it,” Drew smirked.

“Mmmpf!” Paul grunted,” And if I were to beat you?”

“You can surely try,” Drew smiled confidently.

“I’ll do it,” Paul bluntly stated then turned around.

“Huh?” May and Dawn both exclaimed at the same time.

(The next day)

Dawn was staring in awe as she saw Paul, who had his hair in a short ponytail. His outfit was a dark plum vest with a white undershirt, with dark plum trousers. It complimented the dark sea blue dress she was wearing.

“You ready?” Paul asked.

“Mhmm…” Dawn shook her head.

“Hey, Dawn and Paul!” May exclaimed, running towards them with Drew tailing behind her. .

May was wearing a rosy pink dress with a flowy knee-length skirt, and her hair was pulled back and pinned with a rose pendant. Drew was wearing a green vest with dark green trousers and a matching pink rose in his vest's pocket.

“Not bad,” Drew commented as he placed his eyes on Dawn and Paul,” I am excited to see what your guys' appeal is.”

You will see,” Paul smirked.

“First up is Dawn Berlitz and Paul Rebeldo!” the voiceover blared.

“Best of luck guys!” May grinned excitedly.

The two walked out to hear a roar of excitement.

“Just like we practiced,” Paul stated to Dawn then exclaimed,” Come on out Sneasel!”

“It’s your time to shine, Cyndaquil!” Dawn declared.

“Use Ice shards towards the sky and make them extra icy!” Paul declared.

“Cyndaquil! You use Sunny Day!” Dawn exclaimed.

People gasped as the ice shards flew in the sky and with the effect of the Sunny day. The sun's rays shone through each one causing them to shine like diamonds.

“Now Cyndaquil use aerial ace!”

“And you use X-scissors!” Paul commanded.

The Pokemon listened and they broke each shard into a million tiny shards making the shimmering effect look even more beautiful.

Paul grasped Dawn's hand as they both bowed, with their Pokemon following suit.

The audience roared with happiness.

“Wow! An amazing appeal from Dawn and Paul! That combination of Ice shard and Sunny day has everyone roaring with excitement! One last round of applause for our starting duo!” the announcer exclaimed.

Dawn and Paul both exited the arena discovering May whose eyes shone and Drew just looking in surprise.

“Mmmpf! How was that?” Paul stated, crossing his arms in satisfaction.

“Impressive, for a beginner,” Drew smirked.

The four stood as they watched other duos complete their appeals till it was finally Drew’s and May’s turn.

“Now watch and learn amateur,” Drew commented as he walked out with May.

“Now we have the Hoenn royals paired up for the Duo contest! What do they have up their sleeves?” The announcer cried out.

“Royals?” Paul asked, looking at Dawn.

“Well you see…,” Dawn explained,” May is known as the Hoenn Princess and Drew is known as the Hoenn Prince. Since they repeatedly keep taking the Contest championship from each other.”

“I see,” Paul stated, then refocused back on the TV.

“Steal the spotlight Beautifly!” May exclaimed.

“Show these people elegance Roselia!” Drew declared,” And use petal dance!”

“Use gust!” May commanded.

As Roselia used the Petal dance, Beautifly used gust in a way where the petals were dispersing throughout the whole stadium.

“Now use Sweet scent!” Drew exclaimed.

“And you use string shot!” May declared.

The smell from Sweet scent filled the room as people enjoyed it and then May’s Beautifly used string shot at each rose petal until all the strings connected.

The whole room was filled with silence until they realized what happened.

“There’s no way,” Paul muttered as he looked closely at the TV.

Though it was plain as day. The string shot had perfectly caught each petal and revealed an outline of a rose.

“What an astounding appeal! The crowds are going wild!” The announcer exclaimed, barely being heard over the noise of the crowd.

“So that’s why Beautifly was using Gust in such an interesting way,” Paul murmured,” because it was getting the petals where they generally needed to be and then it used string shot. It was meticulously trained to create a rose. Impressive.”

“Is that even possible?” Dawn exclaimed, her eyes wide.

“I guess it is but I bet it took a lot of training,” Paul replied.

“How was that for a show?” Drew smirked as he walked in.

“I was so happy it worked,” May laughed.

“How were you able to do that?” Dawn asked.

“Just a lot of training,” May smiled as she looked at Drew,” I wouldn’t have been able to do it with Beautifly until Drew helped me,”

Dawn watched as May shyly blushed towards Drew who was talking to Paul.

The day went on ending with May and Drew ultimately defeating every one of their foes. They had stayed in sync with each other in each battle. Mesmerizing everyone who faced them or even was watching them.

The four of them stood outside the stadium as it had finished.

“So you guys want to get dinner together?” May asked.

“No thanks,” Dawn stated,” Me and Paul need to start our trip to Little Root Town for Paul’s tournament.”

“Mhmm,” Paul nodded in agreement.

“Oh ok! Maybe next time!” May grinned,

“That was a good appeal, Paul. Maybe if you keep practicing you might catch up to me,” Drew smiled.

“I’m never doing that again,” Paul declared, folding his arms together.

“Your choice,” Drew grinned.

“C’mon Drew! Let’s go get dinner! See ya around Dawn and Paul!” May exclaimed, grabbing Drew’s arm and running off.

“Good luck! May!” Dawn exclaimed, waving goodbye.

“Good luck for what?” Paul questioned.

“She’s going to confess,” Dawn grinned widely.

“Confess what?” Paul asked.

"Her feelings!” Dawn declared.

“Weird,” Paul grunted, then started walking towards their destination.

“Whatever!” Dawn huffed, though if she was paying attention she would have seen a blush come over Paul’s face as he remembered Dawn in her dress.

Notes:

Hoped ya'll enjoyed! Drew knew what he was doing by hurting Paul's pride hehe!
Also I tecnically made up how to use the Moves they use for their appeals since this is fanfic hehe! But the moves themselves are part of the Pokemon Francise.
I really hoped this is what you imagined how this would turn out!@KikyoMibu

Chapter 10: Grief + Love (SilverXDawn)

Notes:

Request from -Tiara
I'm sorry this is very long overdue! Also I'm sorry if this isn't what you expected...

Dawn sat in shock as the news of her boyfriend’s death reached her ears.

“No…no…no no…! No!” She screamed as she covered her ears."He can’t be dead!”

“I’m sorry,” the police officer stated sadly.

Dawn fell to the ground crying as she couldn't imagine that she would never see Paul again. His sweet smile he only showed around her and his warmest hugs.

“ God….please no…” she cried.

The officer kneeled as he just sat next to her. *************************************************************************************************************

(Same time, different house)

“You're lying,” Silver sharply stated.

“I’m sorry. You are Lyra Soul’s boyfriend if I am correct,” the officer questioned.

“Yes, she went out to get groceries and will be back probably in an hour.” Silver stated.

“Sir, she is gone…” the officer declared,” there was a car collision. Killing both drivers,”

“Dang it! Just leave!” Silver snapped, slamming the door.

Silver leaned against the door as he slowly felt tears rolling down his eyes.

“Lyra…” he cried,” Lyra….”

He felt as if his heart was being torn out.

“LYRA!!!” he screamed out as he pounded the ground. *************************************************************************************************************

The day was grim as Dawn stood over the headstone of her beloved. She felt as if she could cry rivers but yet there were no more tears to spill over.

“Ms. Berlitz,” an officer spoke,” That man over there was in a relationship with the other person who died.”

Dawn glanced over to see a sullen red-haired guy whose eyes held the same emotions that she had seen in her own eyes through a mirror. As she sighed, she slowly walked over to him.

“Hello,” she stated.

“Mmpf,” the redhead nodded.

“Looks like we both lost someone,” Dawn sighed.

“Isn’t death cruel? It laughs in your face once it devours someone,” the redhead slowly stated as if in a dream.

“Do you mind if I ask for your name?” Dawn questioned.

“Silver,” he replied, not lifting his head from the headstone.

Dawn felt a raindrop fall on her nose and along it began a multitude of raindrops. To the point, she was already becoming drenched.

“I wouldn’t stay out here for too long,” Dawn stated as she started walking away.

But he didn’t budge.

“I don’t care if I die…I would be able to see her again,” he murmured.

“That’s foolish,” Dawn stated, swirling back in his direction.

“It’s my choice what is foolish or not!” Silver yelled glaring back at Dawn.

He looked even more pitiful with his clothes wet and his shoulders were sagging. His eyes were watery and full of misery.

“I could’ve gone with her or asked her to not get groceries that day!” He exclaimed as he sank to the ground.

Dawn felt tears running down her face.

“We both wish we could’ve saved them,” she cried as she hugged him.

The two just sat in the rain as they both grieved their losses. After that day Dawn invited Silver almost every day as they both processed through the grief. Two years passed and Dawn couldn’t help but slowly notice how sweet Silver was.

“He reminds me of Paul,” she smiled to herself, as she was cutting carrots for the soup she was making.

After they ate and talked for a while, Silver left. Dawn felt her face grow warm as she waved goodbye to him.

“I think I like him!” she squealed to herself as she was putting away her dishes, her face turning red as a tomato.

A few more weeks passed and Dawn couldn’t help but acknowledge her feelings for him were growing stronger. Until finally she decided to take a leap of faith.

“I like you!” Dawn exclaimed as they had been on a walk on a beautiful cliffside with the sunset glimmering over the horizon.

She looked up at Silver who looked surprised and his eyes lost their lights.

“I’m sorry Dawn,” he slowly replied after a long moment of silence,” I still love Lyra,”

“I know,” she replied as she pasted a fake smile,” I need to go,”

Before Silver could say anything, Dawn already started running.

“Of course he still loves her… and I think I still love Paul! I’ve betrayed him… by confessing that I love someone else! Even when I had promised Paul I would love him forever,” she cried to herself, running,” I don’t want to live anymore! Paul! I want to see you again!”

She ran towards the end of the cliff as she decided she was done with life.

“Forgive me Silver!” she cried out, leaping off.

“No Dawn!” his voice rang behind her and a hand grabbed her wrist.

A sharp pain came from her arm and she discovered her body was dangling over the cliff as her one lifeline was holding onto her wrist.

“Don’t leave me too! Dawn!” Silver begged, starting to sweat,” Please! The reason why I can’t love you yet! Is it because I haven’t come to terms with Lyra’s death! But if you wait for me! I know I will be! Because you are funny, smart and beautiful! So, please! If you just wait for a bit longer! I will be ready!”

“Silver…” Dawn murmured and started crying.

“Don’t start crying till I get you back up! Now give me your other arm!” Silver declared.

As soon as Silver pulled her back up the cliff, he embraced her and held her tightly.

“I’m so sorry Silver…. I was just lost in my emotions!” she cried,” I will wait! I will wait!”

“I know….I know…” Silver agreed, as he never wanted to let go of her. (Five years later)

Dawn was sitting on a couch as she was holding one of her twins while Silver held the other. Her eyes filled with happy tears as she looked down at her beautiful son and daughter.

“Welcome to the world Pauline and Lyrx,” she muttered, as she leaned against Silver’s shoulder.

They both knew that Paul and Lyra would be proud of the life they had built, and they felt at peace knowing that they both had found happiness once again.

Chapter 11: A Rebeldo Day!(DawnXPaul)

Notes:

Request from MuffinPika!

“Mama! Wake up!” Chris exclaimed as he shook Dawn.

“What’s wrong baby?” Dawn muttered as she sat up to discover her five-year-old boy right in her face. He was the spitting image of Paul except his hair was a dark blue like Dawn’s and his eyes were an ocean blue with hints of purple in them.

“Lia threw her tot’meal again,” Chris frowned. “

“Doesn’t daddy have it under control?” Dawn yawned as she slowly stood up.

“Nope,” Chris stated,” Daddy’s wocked in the ‘attroom”

“What! Daddy's locked in the bathroom!” Dawn exclaimed, fully waking up and heading towards the bathroom.

“Paul, are you in there?” she quickly exclaimed.

“You finally woke up!” Paul exclaimed from inside the bathroom,” Get me out of here!”

Dawn looked down to find that a broom had jammed the door handle, locking it from the outside.

“Chris…” Dawn glanced down at Chris whose eyes looked innocent.

Paul looked down at Chris after he was released.

“Christopher Daniel Rebeldo!” Paul glared down at his son.

“Daddy!” Chris smiled as he hugged Paul’s leg.

Dawn had to look away, trying not to laugh.

“Haizz…” Paul sighed,” What am I going to do with you?”

He picked up Chris and started tickling him.

“Nooo Daddy!” Christ squealed between his little giggles.

“You two,” Dawn laughed as she walked into the kitchen to discover it was a huge mess.

On the floor and walls were oatmeal and blueberry mush. And in the middle of the mess, in her high chair, was her one-year-old, Dahlia, who was also covered in it also. Her purple hair held splotches of dark blue and was on her chubby cheeks also.

She squealed happily as she spotted her mama.

“Paul!” Dawn cried out.

Paul came rushing in with Chris in his arms.

“Dang! Lia made a heck of a mess!” Paul exclaimed.

“You better help me pick it up!” Dawn huffed.

“Oooft! Look at the time! Gotta head to the Gym!” Paul exclaimed, looking at his wrist,” Sorry Sunrise!”

With that, Paul placed Chris on the ground, made a beeline for the door, and yelled out," I love you!"

“You big idiot!” Dawn exclaimed, throwing the roll of paper towels towards him.

“Big idiot!” Chris murmured then started laughing,” Big idiot! Big idiot!”

“Oh no! Chris, we don’t say that!” Dawn exclaimed, smacking herself with regret.

“But mommy said it,” Chris stated, with a completely confused facial expression.

“Yes, Mommy did, but she shouldn’t have said it. It’s not nice,” Dawn explained, kneeling.

“Ok, mommy,” Chris nodded his head.

“Now how about you help me clean this mess up?” Dawn smiled.

“Yay!” he exclaimed happily, his eyes lightening up.

Dawn started her normal day routine after cleaning up Lia’s mess. She let Chris play and placed Lia in her Playpen while she cleaned the kitchen and whatever had to be cleaned. Then once it was eleven, she would prepare lunch and clean whatever mess was created again. After lunch, she would lay them down or at least try to if Lia wasn’t fussy or if Chris didn’t become a prison escapee and give her the famous Rebeldo scowl every time he was placed back on his bed. After rest time, today May, her daughter Autumn and son, Fallon, were going come over to visit. Then by the time they left, it was time to make dinner.

“I should make broccoli soup,” she thought spitefully,” it's Paul's least favorite! Besides, he deserves it after leaving me behind with Lia’s mess!”

The house soon was filled with the smell of broccoli soup and once Paul walked in his nose told him the news.

“Hey, troublesome! What are you cooking?” He questioned to verify.

“Your favorite! Broccoli soup!” Dawn exclaimed, smiling mischievously.

“Oh! Is it my reward for not helping with Lia’s mess?” he asked as he hugged Dawn from behind.

“Daddy!” Chris exclaimed after realizing it was his dad.

“Hello there!” Paul laughed, picking him up.

“Wahh!” Lia voiced out her complaint and jealousy.

“You too?” Paul grinned as walked over to her and grabbed her.

“How was the gym?” Dawn questioned.

“I beat all of the trainers today!” he grinned,” I gotta make sure they are all worthy of making it into the League.”

“Of course,” Dawn laughed.

The smell of something burning then assailed their noses.

“Honey! The soup!” Paul exclaimed.

Dawn quickly turned around to see her soup started boiling too much and quickly took it off the stove. She tried stirring it but when she did. Little black specks floated to the surface of the soup.

“Aw bummer…. You burned it,” Paul sighed sarcastically.

“It’s still editable!” Dawn quickly exclaimed, grabbing a spoon to try it.

Paul watched as Dawn’s face fell as she tasted it.

“It's….amazing,” she slowly stated her face clearly though clearly telling the opposite.

“C’mon, let's go eat out!” Paul laughed, as he started for the door.

Dawn couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ok!” she grinned,” But I get to pick where we go!”

“Sounds good!” Paul smiled.

“Yay! We get to eat bye-bye food!” Chris happily exclaimed, trying to wiggle his way out of his dad’s hold.

After Paul set him down, Chris did a little dance of happiness with Dawn, Paul, and even Lia laughing at his antics.

So the Rebeldo family went out to eat that night and by the time they returned Chris and Lia fell asleep as soon as their heads were placed down.

“What a busy day,”; Dawn yawned as she was pouring out the burnt soup.

“Totally,” Paul smiled,” but I’m only assuming it's just another day in the Rebeldo’s household?”

“Yep,” Dawn nodded in agreement,” but I love it.”

She walked over and kissed him, being joyful that she would be able to do it all over again tomorrow.

Notes:

Hoped ya enjoyed! I also hoped you liked my fanchildren for Dawn and Paul!

Chapter 12: The Heart's Decision (IrisXTripXCilan)

Notes:

The people in this ship may be confusing but I promise just trust the process haha!

Iris sighed as she sat in the tree she always came to when she was in stress.

“Stupid feelings! I am being such a kid right now. For liking two people!” she exclaimed angrily as she punched the tree.

She looked at the two letters she held in her hand. One was a plain envelope with the scent of the outdoors while the other one held the scent of a kitchen and had gold outlining.

She opened the first one.

"Iris, You inquired about training your Axew. It's rather complex to explain in writing. How about we convene on the 2nd in Aspertia Town? It's a serene locale where we can solely focus on honing our training.

-Trip

Iris stared at Trip’s letter. It was one of the many that he had sent her. They had been corresponding since the day when she had sent one of her letters to the wrong address.

“He wants to meet up?” she murmured, her face getting red,” and he has something to tell me?”

She shook her head rapidly as she opened up the other letter.

"Dear Iris, I trust your champion schedule is progressing smoothly. I wanted to express my gratitude for your assistance during my recovery from our adventurous vine swinging. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and was contemplating whether you would be interested in meeting on the 2nd in Aspertia to relish the breathtaking view.

Warm regards, Cilan

P.S. I have something really important to tell you if that helps any.

Iris tightly gripped both letters, feeling torn between the two heartfelt invitations.

"You two big idiots!" she exclaimed, tossing the letters aside. "How am I supposed to choose between you?"

After days of contemplation, she finally composed a response to the individual who held her heart. As she arrived at the designated meeting place, she found him standing there with a small bouquet and a faint blush coloring his cheeks.

"I like you, Iris," he declared, extending the flowers toward her. Iris gazed at him, her heart fluttering frantically.

After a moment of overwhelming emotion, she found her voice. "I like you too," she replied, her head tilting slightly as her eyes shimmered.

They both held hands as they watched the sun setted. Ready for anything to happen.

Notes:

K..I have a bit of writer's block at the moment plus I am piled on hw and I thought that I didn't want to cheat on anyone's prompt but since it's been a while since i've published something..... I decided to write a quick one-shot of Iris and her two choices of men (personally my two favorite hahaha!). And it's reader's choice on who it is. :D
So sorry if this one-shot isn't the best. But I'll get back to writing on people's requests probably after this week.

Chapter 13: Paul's Dusk Flower(PaulxDawn)

Notes:

I lived through the school year! Anywhoo!! After a brief break away from my computer! I finally wrote out another prompt! This one was from @MuffinPika!
So hopefully ya'll enjoy!!

Paul looked happily at Dawn whose stomach was round with their soon-to-be daughter.

“How are we doing Dahlia Dusk Rebeldo?” he whispered as he leaned his head against Dawn’s belly.

“I can’t believe this will be our first child,” Dawn exclaimed, with happiness filling her face.

“Once Dahlia is born, our family will grow!” Paul declared excitedly as he thought to himself,” I mean, what can go wrong?”

A day later

The cries of a baby filled the hospital room as Paul finally saw his new daughter. He couldn’t believe how small it was compared to even Dawn.

“She’s beautiful,” Paul cried as he held onto Dawn’s hand.

“Yes, she is,” Dawn slowly stated, as she breathed heavily.

Suddenly Dawn’s face became ghostly pale and her breathing sounded like she was choking.

Sunrise, what is wrong?” Paul questioned as he grasped her hand which felt clammy,” Doctor! Somethings wrong!”

The doctor rushed in and his face became alarmed as he commanded the nurses who had been dealing with Dawn’s vitals to go grab some items. A nurse swooped down and grabbed Dahlia out of Dawn’s arms.

“What’s going on doctor?” Paul declared in fear.

“I need to ask you to leave the room,” a nurse intercepted.

“No! That’s my wife!” Paul yelled as he tried fighting against them.

“Sir, please! We need you clear of this room!” one of the doctors commanded as he pushed Paul out.

Paul glanced one last time before the doctors shut the door. He looked worriedly as he saw his wife’s beautiful face seem to be in a dreamless sleep. An hour later

“Oh god no!” Paul screamed as he saw a blanket covering his wife’s face,” Please don’t tell me it’s true!”

“I’m so sorry,” a nurse spoke, tears streaming down her face.

Paul fell to the ground in anguish as he pounded it.

“No! No! NO!! This isn’t how it was supposed to go!” Paul shrieked as he shook in tears,” We were supposed to watch our children grow up as we grow old together!”

Paul felt a hand on his shoulder but he didn’t care who it was. All he felt at the moment was as if his heart was torn into a million pieces and nothing could ever piece it back together.

“Paul,” a soft voice spoke.

He looked over his shoulder to discover Johanna standing right next to him. Her face was puffy and her eyes showed signs of tears. Also in her arms, she held Dahlia.

Paul glanced at his daughter. He slowly stood up and took Dahlia.

“You look like her,” Paul weakly smiled.

The baby in his arms had blue fuzzy hair and her nose was the same as Dawn’s.

“What am I going to do?” Paul muttered, through his tears and he carefully hugged his daughter,” What am I going to do?”

A month later

Johanna had moved in for a while to help Paul with the household and the baby. She began to worry as Paul was now spending more time at his gym rather than at home and decided to encounter him on why he was.

“I have business to deal with at the gym,” Paul curtly spoke.

“But you have a child here. Besides, I can’t stay here forever,” Johanna spoke.

“I know that,” Paul replied.

“Then why won’t you take a week off and I can show you on what Dahlia’s needs are,” Johanna offered.

The room was filled with silence before Paul spoke.

“Why won’t you just take Dahlia with you?”

“What?” Johanna exclaimed with alarm,” I am not taking you and Dawn’s baby. You are the father!”

“Well, I can dang well not be! I mean look at me. Do I look like a proper father? No!” Paul declared, slamming his hand against the table.

“What is really going on Paul?” Johanna questioned,” You were once so excited for your future with your baby!”

“That future had included my wife and her mother!” Paul responded,” But now that missing piece is gone and the future is no longer possible! I can’t love my daughter because it reminds me of what was taken away from me!”

“Dahlia didn’t take anything from you! You blame her for just living?” Johanna responded, her temper growing.

“Yes, she did! She took both her mother’s life and her look! I can’t even look at my daughter without being reminded of who she looks like!” Paul declared.

“I am your wife’s mother but yet you can still look at me!” Johanna reasoned.

“That’s different,” Paul responded,” Dahlia was me and Dawn’s child but now Dawn is gone and in exchange, I got a daughter who closely resembles her mom who I loved!”

Johanna could only look down and clenched her fists.

“You just don’t get it! I lost my daughter! And you are making me take care of a baby who reminds me exactly of how Dawn acted when she was just a babe! If anything I should be the one complaining and wanting to run away from my duties! But no! You are just self-pitying yourself and rejecting the daughter who Dawn loved with her whole heart even before Dahlia was born!” Johanna screamed, tears streaming down her face and her body shaking,” My beautiful baby! I loved so much is no longer here! The daughter I watched grow up. I watched her mature into a woman who was full of love and life from being buried in the ground. Life was not supposed to work that way! I was supposed to die before her!”

Paul could only look down to the ground as he listened to Johanna’s sobs.

“My baby….my baby…..” she cried, rocking herself back and forth,” Dawn…why’d you have to go.”

Paul slowly walked over and wrapped Johanna in his arms as he allowed her to finally let go of the grief she had secretly held for his sake.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t the one who stepped up,” Paul muttered as he hugged his mother-in-law,” I will try…. Give me a while and I will try to become the father Dahlia deserves.

Two months later

“Gahh!” Dahlia’s wails filled the room.

“Are you hungry Lia?” Paul asked as he held her in his arms.

It has been about two months after Johanna’s confrontation and Paul slowly managed to get back into routine. With the help of Ash, Misty, Drew, May, and Johanna, he was able to create a schedule where he could fully get back to his gym and still be the father Dahlia needed. He also was seeing a grief counselor who helped him realize ways on how to embrace his grief correctly without letting it get the best of him.

He looked down at his daughter in his arms. Her face was becoming more like Dawn’s but he noticed that whenever Lia was angry or just annoyed. She would make the famous Rebeldo scowl, which made him laugh.

“I promise, Dahlia Dusk Rebeldo… I will do my utmost best to be the father who will always love you until some pathetic man comes and sweeps you off your feet when you're older,” Paul smiled as he held her.

Then the smell of something stinky assailed his nose.

“And this is when I wish your mommy was still alive,” he slowly grinned but didn’t let the sorrow fill his heart.

Chapter 15: Wild Girl (IrisXTrip)

Iris was enjoying a beautiful day outside of Opelucid City. She was taking a break from her duties as Champion. She was getting sick and tired of all the formalities that came with it.

“Even the Champion needs a vacation,” she said as she stretched,” Now what should I do today?”

Then suddenly Iris grew alert as she heard a twig snap behind her.

“Who’s there?” she exclaimed as she reached for one of her Pokeballs.

“Just me,” a voice spoke.

“Trip! You scared me!” she declared angrily.

“Sorry, I just wanted to analyze you before I challenged you,” Trip stated nonchalantly as he shrugged with his camera in one of his hands.

Iris scanned the challenger. He had grown since the last time she saw him. He was now taller and his old shoulder-length hair was now shorter and honestly, Iris thought it looked great on him. He had changed out his orange jacket into a gray one. His baby-shaped face was now almost gone with a more defined face. Though his silver-gray eyes still held a fire in them.

“Well you have to make an official appointment with the Unova league,” Iris stated.

“Really?” Trip commented, with a look of disgust,” When did you become all formal-like? What happened to the crazy girl?”

“I’m not formal-like! It’s just a necessity,” Iris yelled, clenching her hands.

She didn’t know why it irked her so much that he mentioned how formal she was.

“Then how about an unofficial match? One that is not a challenge for the Champion Title?” Trip questioned as he took a picture.

“That’s better,” Iris replied," You better take rid of that photo by the way."

"Naw," he grinned as he grabbed one of his pokeballs.

The two of them went straight into a battle, that was intense but ultimately ended with Trip losing to her.

“Yay! Great job Diono!” Iris praised her Pokemon as she returned it to its ball.

“I see why you became champion. You are far stronger than Alder,” Trip mused.

“Well obviously!” Iris held her head high.

“You're my new target!” Trip exclaimed unexpectedly, pointing his finger at her,” Since my dream is to become the strongest in Unova. I need to beat you!”

“Come for me then. I’ll wait for you!” Iris smirked, crossing her arms.

“See ya later!” Trip spoke as he walked away, then looked over his shoulder with a smirk,” Wild-girl.”

Iris stood in confusion for a second. She for some reason had nothing to say against him.

“Wild girl?” she thought as her face grew warm,” I like that…..I like that very much.”

She watched as he walked away. Her eagerness grew for the next battle they would have.

Notes:

I'm back!!
I wanted to write a little one-shot of my own to kind of get back into writing (so the grammar and whole storyline might be a bit bad tehehe) Also, since I didn't know what ship to do. I decided to write a little one about Iris and Trip! (All thanks to BisharpSpartan's idea!)
Hope you enjoyed!
Feel free to leave comments on what you thought about it! (like if you think her nickname suits her or if he could give her a better one.) ;)

Chapter 16: Stay Or Go(MistyXAsh)

Notes:

O my gosh.....This is totally overdue T_T...... but here is the request of @RileyEscobar! Thanks so much for being patient with me!
Prompt-Ash and Misty at Mirage Kingdom

“Misty…i’ve been thinking….” Ash started speaking.

“The two both found themselves sitting outside in the courtyard of the Mirage Kingdom.

““What’s up Ash?” Misty questioned.

““Would it be selfish of me…..to ask…” Ash paused to gulp,” That you will stay and keep traveling with me?”

“Misty stared at him in surprise.

““Ash… you know fully well I can’t…” Misty sighed,” I need to watch the gym.”

““But why can’t you sisters? You’ve been selfless in all of this… no one has asked for your desire,” Ash quickly responded.

““My desire?” Misty mused,” Nobody has ever asked me that...I only listened to my sisters.”

““Well isn’t it about time that you listen to your own ideas? Instead of bowing to the will of your sisters?” Ash questioned.

““To be honest Ash..” Misty slowly whispered,” My greatest desire was to always keep going on a journey. To discover new things along the way. Mostly I wanted to keep traveling with you. You had brought every simple thing into something life-changing. Which I slowly but happily enjoyed getting into. And now I have another awesome adventure with you and in a kingdom nonetheless. I thank you for helping me gain my Togepi…I mean urrmm... I mean my togetic back.”

““Toogeee!”Togetic chirped.

““We could continue having these adventures together!  Imagine how fun it would be!” Ash implored as he stood up.

“He watched as Misty just turned her head.

““I don’t know yet…” Misty murmured,” I've been doing whatever my sisters want me to do for so long. I never really considered actually rejecting their needs.”

“Misty watched as Ash stood up and huffed in annoyance while placing his hand on his hip.

““Why does it always go back to your dang sisters! They are useless! Minus Daisy but she is starting to be busy so it is ruining your freedom again!” Ash declared angrily as he kicked the ground.

“Misty could only look in shock as this was a new side to Ash.

““Let me sleep on it Ash,” Misty whispered as she stood up and hurried away,” good night.”

“Though there was no sleep for Misty as she laid awake, her mind flooded with many thoughts.

““I want to stay….but I have a responsibility at the gym..”Misty groaned as she slammed the pillow on her face.

“Her mind went to Ash’s declaration of how her sisters’ were using her. She, herself knew that but didn’t care. She never really gave a second thought on what her sisters did. Only on what they wanted from her. She then finally came to her decision though her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Togetic’s squeal.

““Togetic?” Misty quickly exclaimed as she leaped out of bed.

“There in the shadows fled someone who was holding Togetic in a bag.

““Hey, you! Stop!” Misty yelled as she followed the thief,” How did I not see them?”

““Misty, what's wrong?” Brock exclaimed.

““Someone has my Togetic!” she screamed.

““Who dares to try to do that?” Ash yelled as he came out of his room.

“Misty couldn’t but help notice the fury coming out of Ash.

““Pikachu! Use thunderbolt!”

““Pika!” Pikachu pipped,” Chuuu!”

“Lightning then was sent towards the thief. His scream of pain rang through the hallway as he dropped the bag with Togetic.

““What is all the commotion about?” Princess Sara exclaimed with Miranda wrapping a shawl around her.

“May and Max also rushed out of their rooms to see.

““Colonel Hanson was trying to steal Togetic again,” Brock announced as he held him by the scruff of the neck. His head spinning due to the shock.

““This is unacceptable Colonel Hanson! I've tried having mercy on you by just stripping you of your title. But now I see your greed goes deeper. You are here-by announced to be locked up in the dungeons for the rest of your life.” Princess Sara declared with the voice of a true ruler.

““Togetic!” Misty exclaimed, with teary eyes as she embraced it,” Thank you, Ash.”

““It was all Pikachu,” Ash said, feeling embarrassed.”

““Guards take Hanson to the dungeons where he shall have a very long time to reconsider his sins towards my kingdom and my guests!” Princess Sara firmly stated.

“Misty got caught up in the moment and then realized she wanted to tell Ash her decision.

““Ash! I’ve decided!” she quickly exclaimed, causing everyone to look at her.

““You have?” Ash asked excitedly but his face filled with nervousness.

““I can’t join you right now ....but I will tell my sisters once I return to the gym,” Misty said with determination,” You are right. It was their time for their adventures and now it's time for me to go on another one. So as soon as I go back to the gym. I will tell them then I shall come back and join you!”

“Ash could only look at her with relief and happiness,

““Seriously?” Ash exclaimed after he found his voice,” But what if they convince you to stay?”

““They won’t,” Misty declared,” and this is my promise.”

“Misty walked up to him and plucked a kiss on his cheek, causing all the girls to squeal and the boys to look away.

““You better stick to that promise,” Ash smiled, his eyes shining as he grabbed Misty’s hand into his and rested his forehead on hers.
*************************************************************************************************************

“A few weeks later.

“Ash had just finished his video call with his mom. When he heard a voice announce his name. He looked behind him to discover Misty standing. Her hair no longer had its ponytail and was cut into a shorter haircut as if signaling a new beginning. They both stared at each other, eager to see what adventures awaited them.

Notes:

I hope this was good for you, RileyEscobar. If not, feel free to tell me if there was anything you want changed and again thanks so much for your patience. I'm terribly sorry that its been forever since you had requested this! Hoped ya enjoyed!

p.s I actually hadn't watched the Mirage Kingdom one for a long time so I had to rewatch it which was enjoyable!

Chapter 17: Babysitting Surprise(PaulXDawn)

Notes:

Request of KikyoMibu- Dawn X Paul: Prompt: Paul becomes a babysitter!

It was a calm fall day as Paul found himself lying in his hammock while reading a book.

“Man what a boring day,” Paul sighed as he set down his book.

He had already gone low enough to call Ash to see if he was in the region but was in Kanto to visit his mom. He sat up as his X-Transciever rang.

“Paul here,” he spoke, his voice laced with boredom.

“HEYO BROTHER!” Reggie’s voice rang loudly.

“Ugh,” Paul grunted, his face scrunched up then he sighed,” what’s up.”

“Well,  you see…. Maylene and I were last minute invited to a Gym leader’s dinner today and we need a babysitter ASAP!”

“Well good luck,” Paul spoke as he was about to hang up.

“Aw come on brother! Don’t you want to watch your niece and nephews?” Reggie questioned.

Paul’s mind went to Reggie’s rowdy kids. His six-year-old twins Dixon and Darla and their youngest Aaron who was age one. With that thought in his head, he shuddered.

“I don’t know, I am rather busy today,” Paul lied.

“Oh really? With what?” Reggie questioned.

“Well umm…” Paul muttered, trying to figure out a lie.

“That’s what I thought!  See ya in ten!” Reggie exclaimed, hanging up with Paul already drained from his brother’s excitement.

“Guess I’m babysitting…” he grunted,” at least I won’t be bored.” *************************************************************************************************************

Paul arrived at Reggie's house to find Reggie and Maylene about to leave.

“Thanks so much for this brother! We will be back in a few hours! There is a list of things you can do!” Reggie exclaimed while Maylene was talking with the children.

“You will be good for Uncle Paulie!” Maylene spoke sternly to them.

Yes, mama!” Dixon and Darla spoke while Aaron just giggled from his baby chair.

“Oh, and Paul! Here’s a list of things you can do and at the bottom is an emergency number if you need another babysitter,” Maylene smiled,” Bye!”

“Bye-bye, Mommy and Daddy!” the kids screamed as Reggie and Maylene drove away.

“C’mon Uncle Pwalie! Let's play!” Dixon cheerfully exclaimed.

“Ok,” Paul forced a grin.

He quickly looked over the list of things and then couldn’t help but notice the number on the paper seemed vaguely familiar. 

“C'mon!!!” Dixon and Darla wailed.

“I’m coming, you troublesome children,” Paul smiled.

A few moments later….

“I’m swallowing my pride!” Paul exclaimed as he typed in the number.

The children were getting into everything causing a huge mess which was stressing him out. They had first asked for apple juice so he gave some only to discover it all over the floor. While he was cleaning that up, Darla and Dixon got into a fight which caused Aaron to start wailing. As soon as he calmed Aaron, Darla, and Dixon down. He sat down for a moment's peace with Aaron in his arms. Only to hear Dixon tugging Darla’s hair.

As he typed in the number. The contact name showed up on his phone.

“I thought I knew the number,” Paul groaned,” it's Troublesome!”

Swallowing his pride he let the number ring.

“Hello! Dawn here! Oh, it's Paul!” Dawn’s voice rang.

“Are you busy?” Paul questioned.

“No? Why?” Dawn stated.

“I ne…,” Paul paused to fully release his pride,” I need your help to babysit my niece and nephews.

“Aw! Dixon, Darla, and Aaron?!” Dawn squealed,” I gladly can! I’ll be there in a jiffy! See ya soon!”

Paul sat down, questioning what he just did. Then quickly stood up to steal the scissors away from Dixon who was moments away from giving Darla a haircut.   

Ten min. Later.

“I’m here!” Dawn’s voice filled the room. There she discovered Paul who looked haggard and tired,” Oh my! How long have you been here?”

“Half an hour,” Paul replied bluntly. Dawn couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

“I see you're laughing,” Paul spoke curtly.

“I’m sorry! I just can’t believe it's only been thirty minutes. You look like you’ve had them for days,” Dawn burst out laughing.

“Mmmpf!” Paul grunted as he got up, grabbing a cup and apple juice.

“Dixon! It's Auntie Dawn!” Darla squealed with happiness.

“Does that mean she is married to Uncle Paulie?” Dixon questioned, tilting his head and his face full of curiosity.

Paul spat out the drink of apple juice he had just drank while Dawn could only show her shock.

“What makes you say that?” Paul exclaimed in shock.

“Well… mommy and daddy say once Uncle Paulie gets married. We will call his wife, Auntie. And we call Auntie Dawn, Auntie,” Dixon explained in a matter-of-fact voice.

“Oh, they said that didn’t they?” Paul forced a grin and thought,” I’ve got to talk to Reggie.”

“Well sometimes, if you're close friends with an older person. You call them Auntie or Uncle,” Dawn tried explaining it as she picked up a crying Aaron.

Paul looked at Dawn in relief at her answer.

“Oh…” Dixon stated almost in disappointment.

The rest of the day went by smoothly with a few mishaps. Some included a few potty incidents which Paul refused to pick up. A few bumps and bruises but overall was a good babysitting day. Paul also discovered how lively and bubbly Dawn was which surprised him and made him feel a weird sensation inside of him. He also found out Dawn visits Reggie and Maylene at least twice a month if she wasn’t out of the region or in the middle of the Contest league. Paul pondered on how often he visited Reggie. The only reason why Paul was even in Sinnoh at the time was to visit Reggie which had been only once out of the whole month he would be in the region. Making him feel guilty. Finally, Before they knew it. It was bedtime.

“They are finally asleep,” Dawn whispered as was holding a sleeping Aaron in her arms.

Paul glanced into Dixon and Darla’s room. They both were sound asleep from their long day.

“Whew…. What a day,” Paul let out a deep sigh.

“You want to hold Aaron for a little bit? I have to use the restroom,” Dawn asked.

“Oh um sure,” Paul replied.

Dawn placed Aaron in his arms.

“Woah he is light,” Paul thought to himself,” Now that I think about it….I don’t take more time to hang out with the kids…”

He felt a little pang go through his heart. If he had to be honest. He did end up enjoying the day even if some times were hectic and crazy. 

“I'm back,” Dawn spoke,” Aww… he looks so cute! Aaron honestly looks kind of like you,”

“Really?” Paul questioned.

“Why yes!” Dawn exclaimed then whispered after Aaron shifted around,” he has the same hair color as you and Reggie. He looks like you when he scowls.”

Dawn sat next to Paul on the couch.

“I’m so tired…” Dawn yawned.

“You probably can go home,” Paul said,” Reggie and Maylene will be here soon.”

He waited for her response but all he could hear was a soft breathing and something touching his shoulder.

He looked over to discover that Dawn had fallen asleep. He couldn’t help but feel a little fluttery feeling entering his stomach. He looked at her. Her face had a petit nose and her lips were petit like the rest of her. Her blue hair t shined in the sunlight giving it many shades to it.

“I wonder what Dawn’s children will look like?” Paul thought to himself then started blushing,” What am I thinking?!”

“Thanks for helping me, Dawn,” he spoke quietly, as he smiled.

“My kids' names…will be Christopher Paul for a boy and Dahlia for a girl…” Dawn muttered in her sleep as she slowly cuddled up against Paul.

Paul blushed at the boy’s name and couldn’t help but think of a middle name for the girl.

“And Dahlia Dusk….like Dawn and Dusk,” Paul thought to himself then smiled as he looked down at Aaron,” Maybe I should babysit more often.”

Notes:

Okie! I thought it would be fun to have Maylene and Reggie married with three beautiful (yet crazy kids) Their kids are completely my own OC's.
This one I must say wasn't as romantic or fluffy (though ofc I added some) but rather I aimed to be more lighthearted with funny interactions. Hoped you enjoyed KikyoMibu! and feel free to tell me if there was anything you want me to add!

Chapter 18: Troublesome, your Daughter is Just as Crazy(PaulXDaughter) **Family relationship**

Notes:

Request by Tiara- TimeSkip
(sequel to Paul's DuskFlower)

“Daddy! Wake up!” Dahlia’s four-year voice rang as Paul buried himself deeper into his pillow,” remember! You pwomised you would invite Uncle Drew, Auty, and Fallon over!”

“Mhmm…” Paul groaned underneath his pillow.

It had been almost five years since Dawn's death and if Paul had to be honest. There were many days where he missed her but he held on for the sake of his little Duskflower.

“Ok, Daddy’s getting up,” he yawned.

“Yay!” Dahlia squealed with delight as she stood up.

Thus Paul and Dahlia began their day. Paul prepared a breakfast of eggs and toast while Dahlia became entranced in her favorite TV show. After they ate, Paul helped Dahlia pick an outfit for the day, which today’s choice was a cute sunset-colored skirt with a dark blue shirt that complimented her hair.

“Hehe! Am I pwetty Daddy?” Dahlia questioned, with a wide smile on her face.

“You’re just as pretty as your mommy,” Paul assured her with a laugh.

Dahlia noticed Paul’s face lose its smile.

“You miss Mommy don’t you?” Dahlia asked.

“Yes, but your troublesome mommy will always be inside of us,” Paul stated, with a smirk.

Once their mood lightened up again, Paul got dressed himself right as the front door rang. He opened it up to reveal Drew and his two kids, his girl, Autumn who was six and looked exactly like May, and his boy, Fallon who was the a year older than Dahlia and resembled Drew, but instead with brown hair that slightly had green streaks, which impressed Paul. 

“Fallon!!!” Dahlia squealed as she spotted her friend.

Fallon only looked at Dahlia with uninterest.

“Like always,” Paul laughed to himself.

He and Drew then started talking as soon as Autumn, Fallon, and Dahlia started playing. *************************************************************************************************************

9 years passed by quickly. Paul had the ups and downs of parenthood plus Dahlia’s struggle without a mother but luckily Paul pulled through to the very end until he watched his daughter pick her beginner pokemon, which was like her mother, a piplup named Piper at age 10. Now before he knew it she was now 13 years old. *********************************************************************************************************

13-year-old Dalia stared jealously at the girl who was talking to Fallon.  She was officially on her own journey and luckily she had arrived at Veilstone City at the same time Fallon was. She had planned it exactly so that she could both visit her dad and finally meet up with Fallon.

“Duskflower, whatcha thinking?” Paul questioned, waving his hand in front of her face.

She and her dad decided to go out to eat but Dahlia had noticed Fallon was at the same restaurant.

“Daddy!  What made you fall in love with Mom?” Dahlia suddenly exclaimed.

She recognized the flicker of pain that entered his eyes before he would reply.

“Well her bubbliness and joy were what always caught my attention,” Paul replied,” but luckily for me, you have inherited it too,”

“I’ve tried that with Fallon,” Dahlia sighed,” but he is indifferent.”

“Hold on missy,” Paul exclaimed,” you're too young to think about love,”

But you were about my age when you started to meet with mom!” Dahlia complained.

“But we didn’t start traveling together until we were 16,” Paul rebutted.

“Fine,” Dahlia sighed.

Paul looked over to see Fallon completely ignoring the girls that surrounded him. He was a rising star in the Hoenn region as he was growing stronger. So was his sister Autumn who was officially traveling with a few of his friend’s children. Some of them were Ash’s daughter, Dewy , Unova Champion Iris’ twins, Skipper and Trigger, and then some others he didn’t know of.  

He noticed that Fallon had the same nonchalant attitude that he had in his youth though he had to admit he still had some of that inside of him.

“Anyways dear, how long will you be in Veilstone?” Paul asked, taking a bite of his food.

“I plan to stay here for a while,” Dahlia spoke,” I wanted to hang out with you more.”

Paul felt an arrow go through his heart but quickly shook it aside. He couldn't believe how much time flew by and now he was dealing with a daughter who was now thinking about her future.

“How about you invite Fallon to sit with us,” Paul laughed, as soon as he noticed her attention was turned to Fallon again.

“Oh, really Daddy?! I will!” Dahlia squealed with happiness,” I’ll be right back.”

Paul watched as Dahlia ran over to Fallon and he couldn’t help but see himself and Dawn in that scenario in their teens.

“I hope I did well, Troublesome,” he whispered, his thoughts filled with Dawn’s smile as he watched his daughter begin her own story.

Chapter 19: Two Paths(LyraXEthanXSilver)

Notes:

Request from Lili (sorry this is really long overdue......)
p.s This may be really different from what you will expect so feel free to tell me whatcha think.

Lyra stared up at the wide blue skies that held fluffy white clouds that slowly passed by. She was waiting for her friend and rival who both were waiting for her response. Her face slowly grew warm as a distinct memory. *************************************************************************************************************

It was a warm summer day and she, Ethan and Silver were currently hanging out with each other. At that moment, Silver and her were in a heated pokemon match until ultimately it came to a end

“Dang it!” Silver exclaimed as his Sneasel fainted,” take a rest Sneasel.

Lyra could hardly contain her excitement.

“Awesome job Quilava!” she praised her pokemon as it scuttled to her for a pet.

“Well I guess I lost….” Silver stated in almost a nervous way.

“I know right! I haven't won against you for a while!” Lyra giggled.

“I’ll be right back!” Ethan exclaimed with a face that Lyra recognized as his “i-gotta-go face.

“Okie!” Lyra waved.

She didn’t notice that Silver tilted his face away from her, hiding his blushing face.

“So….ummmm….” he started speaking.

“Yea?” Lyra asked questionly.

“Would….you….ummm…” Silver slowly stuttered.

“Would I like to have another battle? Sure!” Lyra exclaimed, bouncing up.

“No…Yes! I mean!!” Silver exclaimed, then shut his eyes and clenched his fists and quickly yelled,” Lyra! Would you want to go to the annual Championship Gala? I got invited and I am allowed to bring a companion and since I have no other friends. I was wondering if you would come with me! But since I wasn’t sure if I would ask you! I told myself if I lost the next time I battled you! Then I would have to ask you!”

He released the breath that he had held in.

Lyra stood in surprise and tried to hide her face that was revealing a laugh. She thought how odd it looked to see the normally no-emotional Silver looking like a little boy with a crush.

“Hey no fair! I was going to ask her!” Ethan exclaimed, who had returned.

Lyra only stood uncomfortably as Silver and Ethan looked at each other with disdain.

“Umm…..what is this Gala?” Lyra nervously spoke.

“It’s a gala held for the anniversary of Lance’s reign as champion,” Silver and Ethan responded, then glared at the other again.

“I didn’t know you got invited,” Silver folded his arm.

“Neither did I for you,” Ethan responded.

“So who are you going with?” They both asked, as they turned their attention to Lyra.

“Ummmm…” Lyra softly groaned. ***********************************************************************************************************

Lyra snapped out of her memory as she heard Silver and Ethan walking towards her.

She looked at Silver, who on the outside seemed cold and mean but actually turned out to be sort of a dork and really cared for what he stood for. Then she looked at Ethan who had been her friend since forever. He had always been there for her. He was sweet, kind, and always stood up against bullies. She loved them both dearly….but if in all honesty, deep down inside knew that one of them fully held her heart and her desire of being his date to a gala. Now it was only the matter of rejecting the other one.

She took a deep breath as she revealed who she was going with. To be continued…..

Notes:

Okie okie, I know this was suppose to be a one-shot but I have no idea who I wanted her to end up with. (yes I am a soulsilvershipper but I didn't want to be so biased againest EthanXLyra hehe) So to make it fair, I'm going to ask my readers who they want her to end up with and whoever is picked most. (The End Date of votes will be Nov. 19 2024) And whoever got voted most is the lucky winner and I will write a "Sequel" to this one-shot on the ship they want most. Feel free to tell me if you like this idea @Lili or if you would prefer me to not do this. I'll gladly do whatever! :).

Chapter 20: Halloween Special!

Notes:

A year past since their last Halloween. Lets see what our friends our up to this year!

It was a dark and spooky Halloween night at Ash Ketchum’s house where we find Ash, Misty, May, Drew, Dawn, and Paul sitting through a horror movie or at least Drew and Paul were. Misty and May were busily chattering in the kitchen whilst Ash and Dawn were currently hiding underneath a blanket.

“You wusses,” Drew laughed at the two,” right Paul?”

He looked over at Paul who looked like he was bored.

“I’m not a wuss!” Ash exclaimed popping out of the blanket.

He took one look at the screen and grew pale.

“I’m just going to get a snack!” he exclaimed, leaving Dawn behind.

“In all honesty, its rather boring,” Paul yawned as screams of agony came from the screen.

“What?” Drew exclaimed,” its so good!”

“I guess but I rather be in bed,” Paul shrugged.

“Whatever,” Drew rolled his eyes as his attention turned back to the tv,” you just don’t like Halloween ever since you lost to me and May at the candy collecting last year and you had to give up all your candy to us.”

“It was rather obvious you guys would win, you are one of the top cutest couples in every region,” Paul pointed out.

Drew was about to say something but then Dawn’s voice interrupted.

“Tell me once the killing is over,” Dawn voice muffled from underneath the blanket.

“Watch this,” Paul mouthed to Drew as he slowly crept over to Dawn.

“No thanks,” Drew spoke, getting up,” I’m getting popcorn.”

After Drew left the room Paul quietly walked to Dawn then took a deep breath.

“Gah!!! Im going to get you! ” Paul exclaimed loudly with such a deep and evil sounding laugh.

Causing Dawn to jump up in fright and scream loudly.

“Don’t kill me please!” she screamed, her eyes teary.

Paul then started laughing as everyone else rushed into the room to see what the commotion was.

“That was such a good scare!” Paul exclaimed happily looking at them.

“Aw ppor Dawn!” May stated as she rushed over to Dawn.

Paul looked down to see Dawn in tears and a unreadable face.

“I hate you Paul!” Dawn screamed, her face,” I hate you! I really thought someone was going to kill me! And that I would never tell you how I feel!”

Dawn stood up and rushed out of the room, leaving it in utter silence.

“I knew that was going to happen,” Drew spoke while flipping his hair.

“Then why would you let him do it!” May yelled at him.

“I wanted him to decide for himself,” Drew responded.

The room then again was filled with silence.

“Well ummm… I guess its getting late,” Ash spoke after a few minutes.

“Yea, and I promised my sisters we would all be back in time for their stupid Halloween Gala, “ Misty sighed,” We should head out.”

“I’ll go get Dawn,” May spoke,” you guys start head out first.”

“I can get her,” Paul bluntly spoke.

“Are you sure?” May timidly asked

“Mhmm..” Paul replied.

The group left only leaving Paul and Dawn who was currently in the bathroom. Paul slide down on the couch as he realized he never has apologized to anyone besides Reggie but he couldn’’t help but feel a twinge of guilt when he saw the after-effect of scaring Dawn. The words surprisingly pricked and irritated his heart.

“Gosh, whats wrong with me,” Paul groaned, smacking his face.

He stood up and walked over to the door.

“Hey Dawn, I am…..” Paul started to say but then quickly switched,” we have to head to the Cerulean Gala.”

“I’ll be out in a moment,” Dawn replied after a long awkward silence.

Paul heard the door click open and there stood Dawn with a sullen facial expression.

“Let’s go,” she spoke, walking stiffly towards the doorway.

Paul for once in his life did not enjoy the silence as they walked the fifteen minute walk to Cerelean.

“So ummm,” Paul spoke but again lost confidence after seeing Dawn’s scowl.

“I still hate you,” Dawn spoke curtly.

Paul’s heart again felt hurt at Dawn’s words. Normally she was upbeat and full of joy, he slowed down his pace making him be behind her the rest of the walk.

It wasn’t until they made it to the Gym when he knew he had to make it right. He reached for her arm.

“Dawn, I’m sorry!” Paul spoke quickly,” I didn’t actually think you’d be too frightened but I was…..wrong…”

Dawn looked to him with slight confusion.

“Sorry what did you say?” Dawn questioned.

Paul again repeated himself more firmly.

He watched her face slowly soften.

“I forgive you,” she replied after what seemed like hours.

“Really?” Paul exclaimed.

“Yea, I guess I was being a little dramatic besides….” Dawn paused for a moment as she inched closer to him,” I wouldn’t be able to do this if I hated you.”

Dawn stood on her tiptoes as she planted her lips on Paul’s cheek.

“Thanks for apologzing!” she giggled as she made a quick getaway towards the lighted up Gym,” hoped you liked your trick and treat!” Leaving Paul in utter surprise and he grew flustered as he just realized what happened but couldnl’t help but wonder what the trick part was.

He rushed into the Gym’s boys bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. There plain as day was a dark black lip stain. He tried rubbing it off but no avail.

“You mean I have to walk around with this on my cheek!” he yelled, though he couldn’t help but let a little chuckle come from him,” Dawn….Your so troublesome.”

Notes:

Happy (late) Halloween! I meant to post this earlier but then I got really busy. But here I am! hehe. All kudos for this one goes to KikyoMibu who gave me this idea and prompt! So hope you all enjoy and I hope your Halloween was awesome!

Chapter 21: A Whole New Flight(HildaXN)

“No, I’m not going to go on Reshiram,” Hilda bluntly replied to N’s offer.

“C’mon! I’m not going to let you fall,” N spoke.

It was a beautiful starry night and N just offered Hilda to take a ride on Reshiram.

“I hate heights,” Hilda stated, crossing her arms, though she was losing some of her resolve to N’s mysterious sharp gray eyes.

“I will make sure your safe,” he spoke in a soft voice.

He reached out his hand to help her up.

“You can trust me,” he assured.

Hilda didn’t know what took held of her but she found herself accepting N’s outstretched hand. As she grabbed it, she couldn’t help but feel how warm and comforting it was.

“You ready?” N questioned as she settled herself in front of him.

She couldn’t help but feel N’s warm breath and the small vibrations she felt as he breathed.

“Yes,” she spoke, squeezing her eyes shut.

She felt as Reshiram took off and could feel a weird feeling she had never felt. Her body felt as if it was floating. She slowly opened one eye and saw she was already in high elevation. Quickly shutting her eyes, she tried to burrow her trembling body next to N.

“Hey it’s ok,” N soft voice rang out,” instead of looking down. Why not look up?”

Hilda begrudgingly tilted her head up and slowly opened her eyes. What she saw amazed her. There was currently the Northern lights shining in the night sky with many stars twinkling.

“Wow,” she murmured in awe,” It’s beautiful,”

“See it’s not so bad up here,” N laughed.

She felt as Reshiram slowly descend where it flew over a body of water that glittered with the reflections of the stars.

“Try feeling,” N spoke, as he carefully stuck his hand out.

Hilda watched N placed his hand slightly in the water. She wanted to do it but she still hesitated.

“Let me help you,” N stated.

He gently grabbed her hand and with his, he stuck both of their hands on top of the water as Reshiram continued slowly flying over the water. Hilda couldn’t explain it, but the water felt amazing as her hand was basically gliding over water. N released his hand as Hilda kept her hand out.

“Now lets go fly over the city,” N spoke to Reshiram who then growled in agreement.

Hilda placed her hand over her face but N grabbed on to them.

“Don’t you dare cover your eyes,” he spoke in a gentle voice,” your going to want to see this.”

Hilda listened to him and found herself grow enchanted to the glowing lights of the city. It was like she was in a whole new world, a world with just her and N and the quietness of the sky.

“Why was I ever afraid?” she questioned herself.

She looked back to see N’s face who was focusing on the beauty of the city.

“I don’t ever want this to end,” she thought to herself though she knew it would end soon. So she let herself enjoy the rest of this precious flight with N by her side.

Notes:

This one-shot was a idea I came up from listening to *Dun dun dun* A Whole New World from Aladdin. haha.
I dunno why ,but it made me think that a plot similar to A Whole New World would suit Hilda and N. Anyways! Hope ya enjoyed and the next one-shot will be EmeraldKarnat's Request: FourthWheelShipping.

Chapter 22: A Kiss for a Hero (BonnieXMax)

Notes:

Request by @EmeraldKarnat
Sorry this is super longer overdo. Hope you enjoy!

“Dedenne!” a fourteen-year-old Bonnie called out for her partner,” Dedenne, come here right now!” 

“Dee,” Dedenne’s squeak came from a bush. 

“There you are! You naughty Pokemon!” Bonnie gently scolded it. 

She discovered her Pokemon’s cheeks were stuffed with as many berries as it could. 

“If you were hungry! You could’ve told me so. Instead of running away,” Bonnie sighed as she pulled out a bag of Pokemon treats,” You had me worried,”

She reached out to grab Dedenne but it evaded her and went deeper into the forest. 

“Dedenne!” Bonnie yelled, not noticing the danger lurking by as she ran after it.

*************************************************************************************************************

“Another day another Pokemon caught!” Max beamed as he retrieved the Pokeball from his Ralts,” What luck that we got to catch a Vesperian! Now the next one on my list is an Ariados,” 

“Raa,” Ralts nodded its head. 

“If I’m correct the townsfolk say that deeper in the woods the more of a chance to find a whole nest of Ariados,” Max mused out loud,” so be wary.” 

He opened his bag and let Ralts hop into it. 

“Let's go!” he declared happily.

************************************************************************************************************

Bonnie felt her head ached as she slowly awoke. She discovered herself not being able to move around. She looked around to see visible white strings dancing from tree to tree and she found herself stuck in one. Her head throbbed as she remembered what had occurred. 

Flashback-

She discovered Dedenne staring at something paralyzed in fright. Looking up was the biggest Ariados she had ever seen. 

“Dedenne! Return!” Bonnie whispered, pulling out its ball. 

She watched as Dedenne accepted the command and whisked into it. 

“What do I do?” Bonnie pondered not lifting her eyes away from the Ariados who started clicking its mouth. 

She slowly started creeping backward but was mortified to see the Ariados start moving also. Without a second thought, she started running but then was hit with something.

“Help….” she tried crying out though she fell into oblivion.

End flashback

“So now I’m stuck here….and I have no sight on the Ariados…” Bonnie thought, quivering with fear,” Should I call for help? But I bet no one comes into this forest…” 

She then heard the dreadful clicking noise again and this time there were two Ariados. 

“HELPPPP!!!” she screamed at the top of her lungs,” I don’t know if no one hears me but if someone is in the forest!!! Please help!!!”

The two Ariados both quizzly looked at each other and then lunged towards her. She shut her eyes, expecting them to land on her but could only hear the sound of a boy. 

“Ralts use Psybeam!” a boy's voice rang out.

She opened her eyes to see a boy with glasses and black hair as he commanded his Ralts who was now in battle. 

**************************************************************************************************

A few moments earlier

Max was ecstatic as he discovered threads of white sticky silk.

“I bet this leads to a nest!” Max exclaimed,” That means we are close!” 

“Raa!” Ralts agreed with joy. 

He followed the trail of silk and there he spotted two huge Ariados.

“Great mother of Pokemon! Those are the biggest Ariados I’ve ever seen!” Max gushed at the sight of them,” but there's no way we will be able to take them both….so we will have to wait until one of them leaves.”

Max took off his backpack to let Ralts hop out to be prepared. He was about to sit down, and then a loud screeching scream came from above. He looked up to discover a blonde girl all caught up in a web. He grew quickly alarmed as both Ariados lunged towards her. 

“Ralts use Psybeam!”  he instantly commanded. 

He watched as Ralts struck one of the Ariados perfectly causing it to run into the other one. Then almost instantly one of them shot a string attack at Ralts. 

“Get out of the way and use Hypnosis!” Max yelled. 

Ralts maneuvered and tried using Hypnosis but was struck by the other Ariados move, which Max recognized as Pin Missile.

“Ralt! Are you ok?” Max questioned in concern. 

“Raaaa!” Ralts screeched then looked at the two ariados challenging. 

“Yes! Let's keep going!” Max declared,” Use Hypnosis once more!” 

This time it was successful and Max watched as one of the Ariados fell asleep, leaving only one more. 

“Great job Ralts!” Max praised it. 

“Watch out!” the girl’s voice cried out.

Max looked over to see a Pin Missile was coming in his direction. He closed his eyes as he embraced for an impact. 

***********************************************************************

Bonnie watched in horror as the remaining Ariados sent a Pin Missile toward her savior.

“Watch out!” she screamed. 

Her eyes grew wide as the Ralts moved at an unbelievable speed while it began glowing. 

“What's happening?” she thought as suddenly a bright light enveloped the forest.  

Once the light faded, there stood no longer a Ralts but a Kirlia who used Teleport in time to get it and the boy out of the missile. 

“It evolved!”  Bonnie exclaimed. 

****************************************************************

Max opened his eyes to see not a Ralts but a Kirlia standing before him.

“You evolved!” Max declared, astonished. 

He could’ve sworn that Kirlia gave him a little smirk as its attention turned back to the last Ariados. 

“You're right! Let’s finish this up!” Max snapped out of his shock,” Ra!! I mean Kirlia!  Use Teleport and then Pysbeam!” 

Max witnessed Kirlia teleported behind the Ariados and struck it with a Pysbeam, giving it a critical hit. The Ariados then quickly retreated. 

“Yay!” the girl exclaimed happily. 

“Kirlia! Teleport the girl with you down here,” Max spoke. 

After a few moments, Max stood face-to-face with the blonde girl. 

“Thank you so much!” she exclaimed,” I thought I was a goner!” 

“No worries! If you hadn’t screamed, I wouldn’t have known you were even here, “ Max laughed nervously. 

“But you still saved me,” the girl grinned,” I’m Bonnie by the way and this stinkin Pokemon is my partner,”

Max watched as she called out a Dedenne. 

“Oh, so you're from the Kalos region?” Max questioned.

“Yep! What's your name?” Bonnie replied

“My name's Max,” Max responded,” I’m from Hoenn,”  

“Well thanks, Max, for saving me!” Bonnie smiled widely, causing Max’s heart to do something. 

She leaned over and kissed his cheek and held it there for a few moments. 

“A prize for the hero,” Bonnie grinned. 

Max could only stand there in surprise as Kirlia elbowed him. 

“Geez…. Thanks,” Max spoke blushing, as he finally found his words.

“Welp….. We better get out of here before another Ariados attacks,” Bonnie spoke as she heard the sleeping Ariados move. 

“Oh yeah, you're right!” Max exclaimed,” Let's get out of here!” 

So the two of them rushed out of the forest as fast as they could. As they were rushing, they discovered that they had traveled with a certain eccentric trainer who owned a Pikachu.

Chapter 24: Haircut (DawnXPaul)

Notes:

Umm hi T_T..... Sorry its been super long. I didn't realize how many vacations I had this summer. I hope you enjoy this little thing I came up with from seeing a pic on pinterest haha. I promise I will get to people's request and Blind Beauty. I just gotta shake off my writers block.
So sorry again for the long delay. I know this isn't the first time I've done this.
-RG

It was a rainy day where Dawn found herself stuck in a abandoned cabin with Paul. She frowned at her luck. She looked over at Paul who held the same distaste. He still wore the same colored jacket that was now all sopping wet. Making it cling to his body. Dawn couldn’t help but stare to realize how much he had filled out since he was a kid. But what was crazy was how long he let his hair grow out. It was now pulled back in a ponytail that reached down his back.

“What are you looking at,” Paul glared.

“Uhh nothing,” Dawn loudly spoke, looking away.

“Whatever,” Paul muttered, rolling his eyes.

What seemed like hours of silence (at least in Dawn’s perspective since it was only a few minutes) Dawn spoke again.

“When was the last time you’ve had a haircut?” she asked.

Paul looked at her with annoyance.

“Probably since three years ago,” Paul replied,” Reggie normally cuts it for me but I haven’t seen him recently.”

“Oh I see,”

Dawn ,being a stylish girl herself, found herself staring at his long hair. The more she stared at it the more it bothered her.

“It doesn’t work with his face type,” she thought,” Plus I can literally see all those split ends. A good-looking guy like him shouldn’t have such long hair.”

Dawn then felt her face grow warm as she realized what she just thought.

“What the heck?!” she internally screamed.

“Are you catching at fever?” Paul asked, noticing her face grow red.

“Ah noo!” Dawn yelled and stood up,” See healthier then ever!”

She nervously laughed as Paul just stared at her.

“Uh ok,” Paul stated, turning his back away.

Something inside Dawn kept screaming at her.

“I really want to just cut his hair,” Dawn murmured to herself.

“If you want to,” Paul spoke, slicing through her thoughts.

“Eeek!” Dawn screeched,” Did I say that out loud?!”

“Yes you did. Now stop freaking out!” Paul yelled.

Dawn felt as if she had just died. She let herself internally freak out for a few more moments before calming herself down.

“Are you sure?” Dawn asked, already reaching inside her bag for scissors.

“Just do it before change my mind,” Paul growled.

“Fine, fine! I’m doing it!” Dawn gleefully spoke.

She went straight for the pony. The room was then only filled with the sound of falling rain and the sounds of scissors. Then filled with Dawn’s complaints.

“Uhh stop moving around so much! Move towards the wall more! Dang when was the last time you brushed?”

Paul, growing increasingly irked by her chatter, fidgeted. His irritation reached a boiling point, and he suddenly jerked his head. The sharp sound of a long snip filled the room, silencing both of them. He looked to the side to see a pair of scissors only a few centimeters away from eyes.

“Oh dear…” Dawn whispered,” he moved when I was cutting.

“Get me a mirror now….” Paul spoke, his voice devoid of emotion.

Dawn quickly handed him a mirror, her heart pounding as she guarded herself behind it. Paul examined his reflection, and his expression shifted from annoyance to shock. One side of his hair had been shorn quite short, while the other remained about chin length.

“You're not touching my hair ever again,” he stated flatly, standing up abruptly.

He put on his jacket, flipping up the hood over his head, and stormed outside into the rain. Leaving Dawn staring after him.

As the rain poured down, she felt a pang of regret for what she had done. But as the image of his uneven haircut flashed in her mind, she couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. The absurdity of the situation was almost too much to bear. When she was sure he was completely gone. She let herself laugh.

Two weeks later

Dawn blinked in disbelief. She was currently in Veilstone to visit Maylene and something had caught her attention.Just a few feet away, Paul stood with a fresh haircut that transformed his appearance entirely. There was no evidence of the uneven mess she had created; instead, he sported a stylish cut that worked perfectly for him.

“Woah…..that hairstyle really suits him,” she gasped in surprise.

She panicked when Paul looked at her direction and as she was about to run away. He made his way to her.

“Why look. Isn’t it Miss Haircuts,” Paul spoke sarcastically.

“How did you get it fixed..” Dawn nervously asked.

“Reggie did it. He said that the hair wasn’t short enough where I would have to lose all my hair. But I haven’t had it this short in a while,” Paul replied with annoyance.

“Oh that’s good,” Dawn forced a smile,” Well I got to get going!”

She was about to make a run for it when Paul grabbed her arm.

“Now wait a moment! I think you should pay for what you did to my hair!” he stated

“What?” Dawn asked furiously,”you’re the one who let me cut your hair!”

“Just buy me that jacket over there,” Paul said, pointing to a plum-colored jacket hanging in a nearby store window. It was strikingly similar to his old one, and she could see the way it would complement his new look.

“Ugh fine!” Dawn glared as she grabbed the money,” There! Happy?”

“Mhm,” Paul smirked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes “

“Whatever!” Dawn huffed, turning on her heel and stomping away, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and irritation.

Paul watched as Dawn stomped away. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Can’t wait to see you around again,” he spoke to himself as he picked up something that fell out of her bag.

It was a sign-up sheet for the Pastoria Contest.
