Shattered [ Pearlshipping Love Story ]

Chapter 26: It's not like you to give up so easily, Ash

Did you guys really think I'd end this story like that? Haha no. I tricked you guys and I'm sorry x) To make up for it I give you this chapter :D

Dawn's POV

It's been 5 years since I've become a top coordinator and a poke stylist. I was in Hearthome City for this year's Hearthome collection because I was asked to be a judge for the collection. I walked around the streets of Hearthome City remembering when I first traveled here with Ash and Brock. 

Ash... I wonder how he's doing.

Ash was now a Pokemon master and Kanto's champion. I was happy for him but, I also missed him. I sometimes regret not following him on his journey to the other regions but.. If I had gone with him I would have never become top coordinator. 

I pushed away any thoughts I had of Ash away and got ready for the Hearthome collection. "Hello Hermione, Paris." I greeted. They both turned around and greeted me with a smile. All three of us then made our way onto the stage and sat down in our seats.

With Ash

"Awwww mister! You're too strong! It's no wonder you're the Kanto Champion!" said a young boy carrying a Butterfree in his arms. I chuckled at him and went over to where he was.

"You wanna know the secret to how I got so strong?" I whispered.

He nodded his head at me anxiously.

"You just gotta train harder and harder and never give up!" I told him.

"Wow! Thanks so much!" He said. We heard his mom calling him and I waved goodbye to him as I began walking towards home. As I walked through the front door I was greeted by my Mom from the kitchen. "Hey, sweetie. How was your day?" She asked me. "It was great mom. Had a few battles here and there." I told her. "Have you met anyone yet?" She asked me. What my mom meant by that is whether I found someone to settle down with and start a family together but no, I haven't.

"Um.. No, mom." I told her.

"Oh Ash, when am I ever going to have grandchildren running around my house?" She whined.

I rolled my eyes at my mom and walked upstairs to my room. Truth is.. There was only one person who I really wanted to be with and that was her. She was the only one who understood me and supported me with everything I did. I missed her.

I turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels to see what was on. I stopped at one channel and noticed it was the Hearthome collection. This sure brings back a lot of memories of when Dawn and I entered.

"Now introducing our judges! Lady Hermione!" The MC announced.

"It's so great to be here today. I can't wait to see the fashion designs from both trainer and Pokemon."

"Next we have Lady Paris!"

"Hello everyone. It's so great to be here again for the annual Hearthome collection."

"And last but not least, our special guest and Top Coordinator, Dawn!"
