[1st place winner of the 2016 Pokemon Watty Awards Adventure Category] A few months have passed since the events of Pokemon White and Hilbert, a now jaded Hero of Unova is searching for a place in a world that is at peace. He sets off for the Kanto Region for a much needed break but in a twist of fate finds himself shipwrecked on an unfamiliar new land. Thousands of miles away from home, Hilbert is whisked away into a rip-roaring adventure that would test his wit, strength, and relationships with those close to him. Our hero will be plunged into a world of danger and deceit where he will meet new enemies, a possible love interest - and a deadly new plot that threatens to bring the world into an age of destruction.

The story, non-canon characters and the book cover belong to ME.*

Seven years have passed since Dawn parted ways with Ash and Brock, determined to fulfill her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator. After many struggles, she finds herself once again second best and still chasing her dream. Paul has worked hard, creating a team that allowed him to claim victory in several regions' Pokemon Leagues. However, he has yet to fulfill his dream of becoming a Champion. Two people chasing their dreams decide to head to Alola. What will happen when fate decides to allow them to meet? The beautiful cover was created by the super talented @blancxcem So thank you very much for that! Obviously, I do not own Pokemon nor these characters, but the story idea is my own :)

(Note: This story follows a few months after First Light. Spoilers to First Light are in this story) Dawn and Paul have been traveling together for a year and a couple for a few months. Everything in their lives seems to be going smoothly- Contests, training, and even love. That is, until they get stuck staying in Fiducia Town, where Paul is met by ghosts the past and a bothersome little twerp who softly pushes at him to open up and truly let go of the nightmares. Can Paul overcome the memories that have haunted him for the past ten years, or will he be lost in darkness?

Paul, now 17, decides to return to the Hoenn region to capture a Bagon and raise it to be a mighty Salamence. However, he doesn't realize that right after arriving an annoying cretin Coordinator would bump into him right when he's setting off on his new goal. Dawn forcefully worms her way in Paul's plans in her quest to become a better Coordinator and the two struggle to get along. As Paul says, "When one life meets another, something will be born.".... but just what will be born between the two?
