All things Pokémon 7

Oh look

(A/N. Wow an unfinished/unedited thing. Also it's really old. So yeah. Here)

"Ash! I miss you! How's Kalos? How's Pikachu?" Dawn asked her friend excitedly, watching his face light up with laughter on the screen.

"I miss you too, Dawn!" Ash chuckled, "Kalos is great! Pikachu is pretty great too!"

Pikachu waved from Ash's shoulder, squeaking excitedly at the Pokémon Coordinator.

"I miss you Pikachu!" Dawn chirped, waving back to the yellow Pokémon.

"Where's Piplup?" Ash asked.

Dawn looked behind her at Nurse Joy's front counter. She turned back to Ash, "Getting checked up. He needs to be in top shape for our contest tomorrow!"

"I'm sure you'll win!" Ash said with certainty, making a fist, "You're the best coordinator I know!"

Dawn smirked, "I'll be sure to tell May that..."

"You wouldn't!" Ash challenged.

"Oh I wouldn't? Try me Ketchup!"

The two friends glared at each other through the screen for a few seconds, but soon burst out laughing.

Ash suddenly began glaring at the screen, Pikachu copying him.

Dawn raised an eyebrow, "What are you looking at?" She turned her head but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"You don't see him?!" Ash hissed.

A switch flipped in Dawn's brain. Paul was talking to Nurse Joy, giving her his Pokémon.

"Oooohhhhh...About him..." Dawn laughed nervously, turning to face the screen once again.

"He's coming this way!" Ash said, his face livid.

Before Dawn could get her explanation out, Paul greeted her with a kiss on her cheek.

Ash and Pikachu's jaws dropped.

Dawn giggled nervously, "Uh yeah see Ash...Paul and I are...well we started traveling together and then-"

Ash interrupted her, "You and Paul? What? How? Why?"

Before Dawn could answer, Paul spoke, "What's it to you?"

Pikachu growled.

"She's my friend. My best friend. I don't know what she'd want with a guy like you."

"Ash! Paul is not a bad guy!" Dawn argued.

"Dawn? Could you and I just talk for a minute?"

"Sure..."

Ash glared at Paul. Paul rolled his eyes and took Dawn's hand. He gave it a squeeze before walking far enough away for Dawn to speak with her friend.

"What do you see in him?" Ash asked.

She knew Ash would react this way. Even though he and Paul had seemed to make peace at the Sinnoh league, Dawn knew that they still hated each other. She knew Ash was going to ask questions, but she knew he would understand eventually. He would, wouldn't he?

"He's really not bad, Ash," Dawn explained, "He's really sweet to me!"

Ash didn't speak for awhile. Finally, he sighed, "Is he safe?"

"Of course...he would never hurt me."

Ash looked at war with himself. He grunted, "Fine. But if he ever hurts you ever-"

"You'll what?"

"I'll kick his ass!"

"Yeah you, kick Paul's ass. Yup. Definitely." Dawn giggled.

Ash frowned, "It could happen!"

Paul scoffed, "Right!"

Dawn giggled. He must have been listening.
