Ash and Clemont were going to visit after a few weeks of departure. What Ash did not tell Clemont is that he is going to show Dawn around Lumiose City the day before they meet. Bonnie wanted to see Ash sooner since last time they met, he gave her advice about having confidence and being a better trainer. Ash remembers the kiss Serena gave him and that he had to pass that certain escalator to get the waiting seats. Ash is now at the airport, waiting for her plane to arrive, anxious of what her appearance might be.
He wiped his brow and looked down at Pikachu, and the pokemon instantly knew the situation: Ash likes Dawn and he is nervous about seeing her. Pika knew this since Ash always had the same about his face, but this time, he was different.
A plane landed outside, and Ash instantly stood up, as an instinct. Pikachu looked at with his head sideways in a questioning way. Ash reaziled he was staring at the plane, and looked at Pikachu. He gave a little laugh and sat back down, still thinking about Dawn.

Dawn wonders about Ash, 'Has there been anymore more girls in his life since we parted? Are we going to meet again after today? What if he has a girlfriend?' She is worried about how he is, since Ash told her there is something serious he has to tell her.
Dawn then noticed the a girl, looking to be fourteen or fifteen, walked over to a guy of less age, he stood up, and they hugged. The girls face was over the boy's shoulder so Dawn could see her full face. The girl was crying. When they finished hugging, the girl strode past Dawn, and into the bathroom.
"Piplup, I'm going to help that young woman, so please stay right here." Dawn got up and walked to the bathroom. She knocked on the door softly three times and her answer was a disstressed "Please leave me alone!"
"I just want to help, ma'am. Please."
The girl opened the door, and her eyes were a puffy red and her cheeks were redder than the top of a Pokeball.
"I want you to have this, miss." Dawn handed the gal a tissue from her own supply of her softest tissues.
"Oh, why, thank you! You are very mature of your age!"
Dawn could now notice what she was wearing: a fancy, white dress with a tall, wide and white hat that could blow away in the wind. She was small and skinny with white, long dress socks that went to her knees with cute, little shoes. Her gorgeous, white-blonde hair had two, special braids out the front, then short bangs and the back was long and wide.
"Do you need a hug?"
The two hugged and the girl smiled weakly after their parting.
"My name is Lillie, what's yours?"
"I'm Dawn. Why were you crying?"
"My boyfriend broke up with me. He said it in such a way that I was not mad, just sad."
"How about I talk to him?"
"You can do what you like."
Dawn walked over to the boy, who had golden blonde hair with a blue, lightweight jacket with a yellow collar and cuffs.
"Hey, mister?"
"Don't call me mister. Call me Clemont. What's your name?"
"I'm Dawn, but that is not the point. Why did you break up with Lillie?"
"Oh, that's what this is about." He said it in a nervous tone. Then, "Something about you seems familiar."
"It's not about me! Why did you break her heart!"
"Fine! It is because there is another girl in my life. Even though she kissed my best friend, she did that to get me jealous of her. She and I have a date today and I was coming back to Lumiose City after being on vacation in the Alola region. I also live there with my little sister, Bonnie. She was on me and her case, so she kissed him to draw tension away from us."
"I......I......don't know what to say."
The was a small pause between the two. Then Clemont spoke up.
"Why are you coming to Lumiose City?"
"My boyfriend and I were going to have a date for the day."
"Same with me, but the girl's name is Serena, not Dawn."
"My boyfriend's name is... nevermind."
"Why won't you say?"
"You seem familiar, too. Who do you know most?"
"I hang out with Serena, of course Bonnie, there was someone else, though."
"How about you describe the other for me."
"It is a boy, usual age, he has black hair, a red pokemon cap, a top similar to mine, but it is blue and white with a collar. He also has black, fingerless gloves and has a Pikachu on his shoulder or walking beside him."
"Ohhh no, ohhhh no!" Dawn puts her hands on the side of her head, shaking.
"I'm sorry, what's wrong?"
"That's my boyfriend, Ash Ketchum!"
"That's his name! He has a girlfriennnnnnnnd!"
Dawn blushed like . Then shook it off.
"I don't care about the name! Who kissed Ash!?!"
Dawn threatened to hit Clemont if he didn't say.
"Ahh, it's Serena! It's Serena!"
"WHERE IS SHE!!!!!!"
"Sh-sh- she's waiting fo-for me at the airport!"
* * * * * * * * * * *
As Ash sat back down, he noticed there was someone sitting in the chairs behind him. He started whispering to Pikachu:
"Pikachu, look behind me and tell me who is sitting in that seat."
Pikachu walked away from the chairs Ash was in and circled the chairs that the unknown person with the newspaper was. As the pokemon went around the chairs, he looked at the kid and jumped up really high in surprize, yelling, "Pika!"
Ash decided that they knew who they were and said, "I'm sorry for what I was trying to do! Come back, Pikachu!"
After Pikachu came back, Ash thought he heard very quiet crying. He looked behind him for the first time on purpose and the person's hands holding the newspaper. The berson's hands were shaking and small, like a little girl.
Ash got up and walked over to were the other kid was, but they put the newspaper between them, and Ash said, "No need to cry, I will help you!"
The crying got louder and the person shook more.
"Why are you upset? Please let me help you?"
The girl put the newspaper down and spoke for the first time that day.
"Ash, please leave me alone."
"Umm, uhh, Serena, why were you, uhh, crying?"
"I don't want to talk about about it."
"Why are you back in Lumiose City? Wait, are going to meet someone?" Ash demanded.
"Fine! I'll tell you. Clemont is doing the same as you. He has a date today and did not want to tell you. And the kiss I gave you was not because I like you, it was because I wanted to make Clemont jealous since I already knew he liked me: he just needed to realize how much he loved me."
Ash, with teary eyes and a shocked look upon his face, then suddenly returned to normal, got up and walked to the bathroom without muttering a single word. Pikachu, with a similar expression, decided to stay behind and wait for the approaching Dawn.
Unlike his usual self, Ash cried. On his way to the bathroom, after his face was turned, his eyes started leaking. When he finally looked at himself in the mirror, he said, "Why did she have to do that? Why does every girl I like have to be with someone else? First, Misty had to go off with Brock to some Poke Leader class, then May was swooned by Gary, and of course she had to go with him. Iris had to meet up with Cilan and his brothers for some "pokemon research" at the trio's Gym. And now Serena never liked me and only wanted my best friend!"
At the last word, Ash punched the mirror, and it shattered, going everywhere without a single intention. Most of the fragments went into Ash, but his anger hid his pain. The only thought on his mind was that if he lost Dawn, there would be no one else to turn to.
"Ash, please come outside, your friend has something to say!" Serena yelled through the main, bathroom door.
Ash wiped every last tear from his face, as to not draw attention when out in the open. He shuffled his feet some and walked out the door.
"Hey, Ash. There is something I should admit to you."
Ash could not believe the voice he was hearing, the voice of Clemont.
"Serena told me-"
"Ash, I'm sorry I did not tell you after the kiss. I'm sorry that I tried to hide our relationship from you. I know you did the same. Dawn and I met and... she might not be happy."
Ash looked behind Clemont, and on the other side of the large place, Dawn sat in a waiting chair with Piplup, with her legs crossed and an annoyed look on her face, with a few tears on her face. Piplup was trying his best to perk Dawn up, but she looked the other direction of the pokemon. Serena was also sitting in the same row as Dawn, but on the other side, looking away from her.
"Okay, Clemont, I forgive you. I admit, I did not like Serena that much until the kiss. I am happy that you found someone to take care of you and that Bonnie didn't have to decide for you. I am sorry that I did not want to tell you about the date I scheduled with Dawn. How about you don't tell Dawn that I liked Serena and I won't tell Serena that you were with Lillie."
"Deal."
They both smiled as they shook hands and went to their date.
"Hey, Clemont!"
"What, Ash?"
"Come here, I have a great idea!" They met in the middle so they could whisper to each other. Serena and Dawn leaned in closer as to hear their whispering, but couldn't hear a single word.
"Ash, perfect plan. I will see you later!
"Same here, Clemont."
They both smiled and walked to their lovers.
"Dawn, if anything that you know of happened between Serena and me, I am thoroughly sorry and if there is anything I can do for you, I would do it for my life."
Her anger and expression softened but it lingered some. She was still looking away. "Fine, I forgive you, but promise to tell me before anything else."
"Okay, I promise that I will always tell you anything and everything."
"And you have to show me that you love me so I will know you love me."
Ash sighed and did what he was told. Ash bellowed, "I LOVE YOU, DAWN!!"
Clemont and Serena turned around at the noise ans smiled, and Ash blushed.
"Ash, I love you too!"
Dawn ran up to Ash. Their faces got close, then Dawn's feet went on tiptoes as Ash's right foot stepped back.
"Dawn, I have to admit, that kiss was way better than Serena's could ever be!"
"Glad you liked it, Ashy."
"You know what time I wake up?"
"No, what is it?"
"I like to wake up at Dawn, since it reminds me of you."
They kissed again that night and went to Ash's limo, which took them to an reserved apartment.To find out what happens next, read Part 2!
