Enjoy!)

The trio completed their journey through Sinnoh region with a lot of fanfare, media attention and being tempted to stab someone. Dawn took her frustration and used it to train with her Pokemon and slayed the Grand Festival while Ash took part and won in the Lily of the Valley conference. Dawn had half a mind to just forfeit the win after being forced to answer questions after questions which had nothing to do with the actual Festival or Conferences. The reporters just wanted *juicy news*, nothing else and tended to ask very invasive questions.

Dawn smiled as she left the press conference, "I am sorry, I need to go."

Ash nodded, "Take a break, Dawn, now what were you saying?"

Gary smiled, "We will deal with this."

Dawn hid inside one of the gardens and let her Pokemon out, "Ugh! I can't take it anymore. I want to quit. So annoying."

Meganium grumbled, -I know, Dawn, I know.-

Piplup, -Just let me peck them.-

Luxio, -You know, you can't.-

Buneary, -They will just use it as ammo.-

Togekiss, -Yes, but it's tempting isn't it?-

Pachirisu, -You feel tempted to attack humans?-

Mamoswine, -Guess Dawn is feeling worse than normal, if Togekiss is tempted.-

Typhlosion, -How did your previous trainer deal with this?-

Ambipom sighed, -Lots of patience though sometimes he let's us run interference by acting sick.-

Piplup, -I wonder how Buizel is handling it.-

Ambipom pointed at the screen opposite of them, -He is following Pikachu's que. Look!"

Buneary blushed, -Pikachu looks really good.-

Luxio snorted, -You mean he is good at distracting the attention. I think we should learn to do that too, when things get too much.-

Pachirisu, -I think Bunneary and I can do that together.-

Buneary nodded, -For Dawn.-

Typhlosion cooed, -It's okay Dawn, we are here for you.-

Dawn who calmed down, "I.. I am okay guys. Sorry for freaking out."

Luxio shook his head, -Do not apologize, you were in your right. Those adults are very rude.-

Meganium scowled, -And very pushy.-

Ash came searching for her after two hours, "Dawn, you okay?"

Dawn muttered, "Yeah, I am just not used to, you know."

Gary sighed sitting next to her, "We get it kiddo. Don't worry."

Ash sat on her other side, "You know what we need, is one last party with no one but our friends and Pokemon before leaving this region."

Dawn, "You are leaving?"

Ash, "I am joining my mom when she goes to Unova to meet up with my mama's twin, Tanni Jenny, my aunt."

Gary, "And I am going to Hoenn, there have been some sighting of Darkrai and Cresselia."

Dawn, "I don't know what to do next."

Gary, "Hmm! How about.. "

Dawn, "What?"

Ash, "You join Gary. I am going with my moms next month but Gary is going alone."
