Decided I'd make a new story for all of you again and this time I'll only be c...
Here's a new update for you with a little surprise at the end. Enjoy!
The group bid farewell to Professor Sycamore and Gary, who would be traveling around Kalos as well, so they would be seeing him around soon. They then started making their way towards Shalour City.
"Hey, Dawn, isn't there a Pokémon Showcase in the town after Shalour City?" Clemont asked. "I remember seeing news about it in the dining hall."
"Yeah, there is. But, I won't be performing in that one. I'll be performing at the one in Coumarine City." Dawn smiled.
"I can't wait to see you perform!!" Bonnie said excitedly as the starlight haired girl gave her a smile.
Serena glared at Dawn with her arms crossed, jealous over the fact that her friends were now all fond of her now. It started getting dark and they decided they'd set up camp for the night and make their way to Shalour City in the morning.
Dawn had volunteered to cook for the group since she did learn from the best chef in the world and that was Brock.
"It smells delicious." Clemont said.
"Just like old times, huh Dawn?" Ash smiled.
Dawn chuckled, "definitely." She continued cooking the food as the others waited for her to finish. After awhile, it was finally done and she all put separate portions for each of them. They all sat around the fire and began eating.
"Wow! This is delicious!" Clemont smiled happily.
"It's the best soup I've ever had!!" Bonnie said as she continued eating.
"Aw man, this really brings back memories." Ash smiled.
"It's alright." Serena said, barely touching her food.
"Thanks, everyone. I did learn from the best." Dawn chuckled as she ate her food and noticed Bonnie feeding some to Dedenne. "Wow, Dedenne also loves your food!" Bonnie smiled. "Aw, thank you, Dedenne."
After they were all done eating, they each changed into their pajamas and slept in their own sleeping bags.
~•~•~
The next morning everyone had woken up and got dressed for the new day. Dawn had gone into the woods to fill up her bottle by a stream they found. While the others waited for her back at the campsite.
Just then, Bonnie felt a shock in her bag and looked inside to see Dedenne in bad shape. "Something's wrong with Dedenne." Bonnie said worriedly. Ash went up to Dedenne and felt it's forehead, "whoa, it's got a fever."
Bonnie started panicking as well as Clemont, Serena, and Ash. "We've got to get it to a Pokémon center." Serena said as she took out her map to look for one. "There doesn't seem to be any nearby."
"Oh no, what'll we do? Dedenne's sick and there's no nearby Pokémon center!" Bonnie said worriedly.
"We'll just have to make a run to Shalour City." Serena said.
"But, that's a long way from here. Don't you know how to treat electric type Pokémon Clemont?" Bonnie asked.
"I've never had any Pokémon that were in this condition." Clemont said.
Ash looked down at Dedenne worriedly then remembered, "Dawn!" Everyone looked at him surprised. "This once happened to Dawn's Pachirisu and Pikachu too! Dawn will know exactly what to do." He said.
"Do what?" A voice asked and they all turned around to see Dawn walking towards them confused. Bonnie ran up to Dedenne with her arms, tears in the corner of her eyes. "Dedenne is sick!"
"It's probably because of the food Dawn cooked last night." Serena said as she crossed her arms.
Dawn clenched her fists and glared at her.
"If I recall Serena, everyone ate her food and only Dedenne got sick. You had a second helping yourself and you're still fine." Clemont said. Serena blushed in embarrassment as she turned away from them.
"Oh, what are we gonna do? Dedenne is really sick and it'll get worse because there's no Pokémon center—"
Dawn placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled at the small girl. "Hey, no need to worry."
"But, Dedenne.. I'm so worried." She said sadly.
"When a Pokémon is sick, you've gotta stay calm. It can pick up on a trainer's anxiety and it only makes things a lot worse." Dawn explained — saying the exact same words Brock told her and Ash.
Bonnie took a deep breath and looked down at Dedenne, "what do we do?"
Dawn took Dedenne from her as she placed it on a small blanket. She felt Dedenne's head and noticed sparks coming out of its cheeks. "Dedenne is having an electrical buildup that happens time to time with electric-types." She said as she took out two electrical rods.
"What are those?" Bonnie asked.
"These are used to help take out the extra electricity from Dedenne." Dawn said.
"Will it hurt?" Bonnie asked worriedly.
Dawn shook her head at her, "just a tiny bit."
Bonnie looked over at Dedenne them back at Dawn as she nodded her head to continue while she hugged Clemont for comfort. Dawn placed the two rods on both sides of Dedenne's cheeks as they both sparked up, extracting the extra electricity.
Dawn smiled when she saw that Dedenne looked a bit better after that and gave it medicine to regulate its voltage. "Dedenne's all better." Dawn smiled.
Bonnie pulled away from her brother and looked down at Dedenne who was looking a lot better than it was earlier. "Oh, Dedenne. I'm so sorry." Bonnie said as she hugged the small electric mouse Pokémon.
"That's amazing, Dawn. You think you could teach me all that stuff?" Clemont asked.
Dawn smiled at him, "sure, I'd be happy to."
Serena rolled her eyes at them, "hurry up! The sooner we get to Shalour City the better." She said as she started walking. Clemont and Bonnie sighed at her as they followed behind her. Dawn chuckled lightly at them and looked over at Ash.
"Guess I panicked again." Ash chuckled as he scratched the back of his head.
"It can be uneasy sometimes." Dawn smiled.
"Yeah, but, I guess being with you makes it a whole lot better."
"Huh?" Dawn said confused.
Ash widened his eyes, realizing what he just said and began to blush in embarrassment. "I mean— like, without you, Dedenne would've been in real trouble, right?" He said.
Dawn looked at him confused and chuckled at him, "I guess so. Come on, let's get going." She said as she started walking with the others. Ash smiled as he walked beside her and talked about his next gym battle with her.
