(If you followed all things Pokémon 2, you know about this, it's about Dawn and Paul and it's not finished, just...here's what I have)
"I'm glad we decided to enter this tag team thing again, Piplup" Dawn said, looking at her partner in her arms.
"Pip-lup!" Piplup chirped. Piplup held Dawn's number card in his flippers. The tournament was being held during the winter this year, so there was a dome over the area. Why the tournament was during the winter, Dawn had no idea.
Dawn and Piplup stood in the stadium surrouned by dozens of other trainers as the announcer stated the rules. Finally, the numbers were matched on the screen. Dawn found her and her partner's numbers on the screen and began looking around for her partner.
"Number 17..." Dawn mumbled. "Where do you think they are, Piplup?"
"Daaawwwnnn!!" a voice called, Dawn turned just in time to see Barry nearly run into her. His Empoleon trudged along behind him.
"Barry!" Dawn yelled.
"Hehe...sorry. Hey are you number 7?" Barry asked.
Dawn shook her head, "Nope. 20"
Barry grew a look a dissapointment, "Aw you're so lucky!"
"Lucky?"
"Plup?" Piplup cried.
"You're paired up with Paul" Barry said, pointing in the direction of Paul and his Torterra. Neither of them were looking in Dawn's direction.
"Paul?" Dawn asked, shocked.
Barry nodded quickly before saying a quick "See ya!" to Dawn and rushing to find his partner.
Dawn took a deep breath, "Okay. Maybe we aren't actually paired with Paul. Maybe Barry's just being Barry?" she asked her Pokemon. Piplup suddenly jumped out of his trainer's arms, and ran over to Paul. Torterra noticed Piplup first, and alerted Paul of the small penguin running towards them.
"What?" Paul spat when Piplup caught up to him. Piplup held the card up so Paul could see it.
"Piplup!" Dawn called, running to Piplup and picking him up.
"You're my parnter?" Paul asked, seemingly appalled.
"Well I'm not so thrilled either..." Dawn mumbled. "But," she said confidently, "I'm not going to have a repeat of you and Ash. We are going to be a team. Hear that, Paul? A team"
Paul rolled his eyes, "Whatever Twilight"
"The name's Dawn!"
"I don't care"
"Terra..." Torterra growled. Paul looked down at his Pokemon, and they made eye contact for a brief second. Paul then turned his back to Dawn.
"Oh Dawn you're so lucky. Oh Dawn you get to be Paul's partner" Dawn mocked, blowing a raspberry at the end.
"How old are you, again?" Paul asked glaring at Dawn over his shoulder.
"How old are you?" Dawn retaliated.
"Ooo good one" Paul said sarcastically.
Dawn was about to say something, but the announcer cut her off saying that it was time to start the battles.
Dawn and Paul were battling in the B block, and Barry was battling in the A block, so Dawn decided to watch Barry and his partner battle. Dawn also saw on the board that Conway was competing. She hoped that she wouldn't have to see him. Dawn watched as Barry and his partner battled almost flawlessly, and she was sure that by the end of the tournament, they'd battle effortlessly. Dawn's eyes searched for her own partner, and found him leaning against the wall, watching the battles in boredom. After his battle, Barry came and stood next to Dawn.
