breakingdreamsTitle: Fire & Spirit
Pairing: Volkner/Dawn
Summary: She doesn't understand why he thinks she could do this, why he thinks she's good enough when he has never even seen her battle.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
Notes: Based on the games, obviously. I personally had a Torterra, but I could totally see Flint going crazy over Monferno. And just when you thought that all I could think about was Paul/Dawn. =P This was written back in October. Also, this is Volkner/Dawn, but there's way more Flint in here. What the heck is with that?
Fire & Spirit She steps into Sunyshore, humming cheerfully. Her eyes are shining, there's a spring in her step, and her heart is beating, quickly, with suppressed anticipation. She's here, finally here, and she can't wait to face the last gym.
And then he walks up to her, all fire and spirit. He's grinning at her, and she can’t help but smile back at him, because the world is wonderful and oh she's going to get her last gym badge soon yes!
He's Flint, he says, and she tells him she's Dawn. Then Monferno set his head on hers and gently tugs at her hair, not wanting to be ignored. She laughs, and soothes his pride by introducing him too.
They talk idly for a few moments, with Flint admiring her Monferno, much to his delight. She laughs as he practically preens himself-- who cares if he's not a bird Pokemon that's preening going on right there, she knows it. Then Flint looks more serious, and she blinks, wondering what she said wrong.
"Are you a trainer?" he asks, and she's still confused, because shouldn't it be obvious? Still, she covers this as well as she can and says yes.
He tells her that he needs her help, then. That his friend, Volkner, is the gym leader, and that he's bored. That he lost his love for battling. That he wants her to give him such a battle that he can't help but enjoy himself.
She doesn't understand why he thinks she could do this, why he thinks she's good enough when he has never seen her battle, and tells him so.
He laughs. "You've got the passion for it," he tells her, simply.
But how can you tell? she persists, because it doesn't make sense, and why is he asking this of her anyways? She'll battle this Volkner either way.
"It's in here," he said, tapping his chest, where his heart is. "I can see it. You've got that passion and love for Pokemon and battling that any good trainer needs. Volkner would be blind and deaf if that doesn't wake him up."
She blushes at the praise, but thanks him all the same, assuring him she'll do her best.
A day or two pass before she is able to challenge him-- delays, delays, always delays. But then she's there, and her voice rings out across the arena. I challenge you!
Volkner looks at her for a moment, and it is then her heart goes out to him, when she sees none of her enthusiasm reflected back at her. She recalls Flint's words, and understands, and it is then she vows fiercely to herself that she will not lose. That she'll fight with all her heart. He hauls himself up, lazily, and then he sends out his Pokemon and the battle begins.
She's lost in the blur. Adrenaline rushes through her veins and she's jumping up and down as she calls out her commands. her cheeks are flushed, and she thinks, yes, this is what it means to be alive.
Then the battle's over, and Monferno-- no, he's Infernape now, she firmly reminds herself as he almost knocks her over when he leaps into her arms. She laughs, and her eyes are still sparkling when she looks over to Volkner. And she's grinning now, because he's smiling right back at her.
