"Is this... a dream?" Dawn thought aloud.

The world around her was hazy. In every direction there was a different colored light shinning. Each light grew dimmer as Dawn walked through the haze. Only but one light shone brightly as the coordinator approached. The light was pink with blue swirls dancing along the sides.

Hurriedly Dawn made a dash to the pink light.

As the light grew closer Dawn was suddenly engulfed by the aroma of freshly made pokepuffs.

The pink light then made an effort to slam into Dawn, causing the coordinator to fall to her feet.

Putting a hand to her head, Dawn closed her eye's. The strange world was now closing and blurring around her. With a final blink the coordinator had passed out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A blinding bright light shone on Dawn's sleeping eye's.

With a sudden jerk the coordinator awoke from her sleep. To see her surroundings were to be of tree's. Her body was entangled by a fluffy clothe that appeared to be a blanket.

Sitting up, Dawn noticed Piplup had also fallen asleep. Also that Alexa was still awake and now guiding Gogoat from behind.

Alexa gave out a smile at seeing the coordinator was awake.

"Rise and shine sleepy head. Did you have a good dream?"

"Actually Alexa, I don't know what my dream was..."

"Well don't worry about it because we're almost at our destination!"

"Ash! I can't believe your battle! It was incredible!" Cheered Bonnie.

It had been just several moments after Ash's loss at the Kalos League against Tierno. All of Ash's pokemon had battled bravely, but had unfortunately lost in defeat.

Although Ash was saddened by his loss, he smiled. At times like these it was great to have friends like Bonnie, Serena, and Clemont.

***************************

The ravnette and his friends all decided to stay for the rest of the Kalos League. They watched the final battle and congratulated the victor. Deep down Ash felt yet another pang of sadness for losing another league. Fortunately, all feelings of sadness went away as soon as Clemont suggested they should go eat a buffet at the Pokemon Center. This time it was Clemont who put his arm around Ash's shoulder.

"Let's go eat." The inventor said with a wink.

The ravenette couldn't help but let out a laugh as the gang headed out of the Kalos League and to the nearest Pokemon Center.

***************************

"Let's eat!" Ash announced as he shoved a pokepuff in his mouth.

As soon as the trainers had arrived to the Pokemon Center, nurse Joy had a whole buffet waiting for any trainer who participated in the Kalos League. The table was filled with desserts and foods of all kinds. Unfortunately for Nurse Joy, all the trainer's were cleaning the desserts area dry! Especially with Ash, Chespin, and Pikachu there.
Even Bonnie herself was eating a great deal of desserts!

Serena giggled as she watched Ash eat his food. It had never occurred to the performer before, that the ravenette could eat so much sweets without getting full.

Even though the performer knew the ravenette looked okay, she knew he didn't feel okay. What trainer would be happy at a huge loss at a Pokemon League!

Instead of continuing to eat herself, Serena stood from her seat.

"I'm going to be gone for a little bit everyone. I'll met you all back here in a few hours."

Clemont smiled sweetly at Serena while he attempted to restrain Bonnie from going to get more desserts. Serena looked to Ash, who hadn't even heard her speak.

With a sigh, the performer turned on her heels and headed to the kitchen, of the Pokemon Center. Once inside the kitchen, she closed the door. She then brought out her Sylveon from it's pokeball.

"Alright Sylveon, I'm going to need your help. We're going to bake some delicious pokepuffs for our friends."

Sylveon gave out a sylveon in understandment.

With hearing her pokemon's joy, Serena began to put out the ingredients. While doing that, Sylveon got the utensils needed to make a pokepuff.

A light knocking at the door sounded which made Serena slightly nervous. She hoped it wasn't Ash or any other one of her friends just yet.

"Who's there?" Serena questioned.

"It's Alexa. Is that you Serena?"

Serena quickly ran to open the door, throwing a pair of pink oven mits behind her.

"It's so nice to see you again Alexa and...." The performer began, but slowly drifted off as she saw a girl behind her friend.

Noticing this, Alexa moved aside for Serena to get a better view of the girl.

"Serena, I'd like you to meet Dawn. Dawn this is Serena, the girl I was telling you about."

Both Serena and Dawn greeted each other with a smile and hand shake. Serena couldn't help but notice that there was a Piplup who was now wondering over to her side.

"Dawn, are you by chance from the Sinnoh Region?" Serena asked as she bent over to pet the Piplup.

"You bet I am, I'm from Twinleaf Town. As you can see, that's my partner Piplup."

Piplup put both of it's flippers on it's hips. "Lup!"

"Dawn, didn't you want to go meet up with someone?" Alexa asked.

"Your right! Thank's again Alexa! I'll be back in a little bit." Dawn said as she picked up Piplup to leave.

"Bye Dawn. It was sure nice to meet you!" Serena called out.

"It was nice meeting you too Serena!" Dawn waved from behind as she turned a corner.

Looking back to Alexa, Serena motioned for Alexa to come in and close the door.

"So Alexa.... What brings you and Dawn here?"

With a head tilt and crossed arms, Alexa sat on the counter. She watched as Serena and Sylveon began to mix the batter for the base of the pokepuff.

"Well, you see....." Alexa began as she closed her eye's to take in the sweet smell of the pokepuff base batter. "Dawn has come to meet up with an old friend of ours, in hopes of continuing her journey with him."

A blush appeared almost instantly on the performer's face.

"Please don't tell me you mean...."

Nodding, Alexa let out a shrug with her hands.

"It appears so. Dawn wishes to travel with Ash."

With hearing that, Serena let out a loud scream. The scream apparently shook the entire Pokemon Center, causing the power to go out......
