Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. If I did, it wouldn't be a kids show anymore, now would it? X3

Well, it's finally here! My newest Ikarishipping. I know I kept you guys waiting. But I really wanted to finish Silver Sorrow before starting on any new stories. Anyways enjoy! Most of the characters might be a little OOC. But I'll try my best to keep them in character. This story has absolutely nothing to do with the actual Pokemon storyline. Just has a bunch of characters that I like… XDXDXDXD

Cyrus: Uh… no idea…

Johanna (Dawn's mom): Erm… not… sure…

Chapter 1: The Target

It was a dark room with barely any light. Three figures were engaging in conversation.

"That mission was so boring!" A teen with spiky brown hair complained in a bored tone. "I can't believe that boss gave me that job and called me back just as I almost had him!"

"…"A purple-haired teenager with cold, black eyes just glared at the brown-haired teenager harshly. "You are absolutely pathetic, Gary! That Hydro Cannon attack was absolutely pitiful. I can't believe that you failed such an easy mission!"

Gary gave a cold glare at the person who had mocked him. He grabbed him by the collar.

"What'd you say? Huh, punk?" Gary growled.

"You heard me loud and clear…" Paul said, remaining cool and collected. This made Gary angrier as he prepared to throw a punch at him. But a boy no older than Gary stopped him from hitting him.

"Come on you two! This isn't the time to be fighting! Our boss won't be very happy seeing us not getting along!" The boy who had stopped Gary said sternly. He had messy black hair and small zig-zags on his cheeks. He also had warm brown eyes. Gary seemed to be close friends with him since he released Paul as soon as he spoke. He shot a venomous glare at the purple haired teen.

"I'll deal with you later!" Gary growled. Paul simply smirked, then turned to the boy who had calmed Gary.

"What is Cyrus up to anyways, Ash?" The purple haired young man asked.

Ash grinned. "I'm glad that you asked!" He said cheerily. "He's at his office right now, looking for our next target!"

"Not finding… found!" An icy voice boomed. A creepy looking blue haired man entered the room. His face was void of any emotions. He appeared to be Cyrus.

"Who is it now?" Paul asked, in a dull tone. "This one had better be good!"

Cyrus threw a folder at the table. A picture of the target was in the folder. Gary whistled in a 'Weet wow' fashion. The purple haired young man just blushed slightly, but hid it to avoid showing emotions. Ash simply studied the picture, taking notes intently.

The target was a young girl about 15 years old. She had beautiful blue eyes and silky blue hair. Two yellow barrettes held her hair. She also wore a pink mini-skirt, a black tank top and a white hat with a Pokeball logo. Even though it was just a picture, her smile was the sweetest thing the purple haired teen had ever seen. It even soothed his cold, bitter heart.

"This one is definitely mine!" Gary said, smirking. "Damn, she's cute!"

Cyrus simply chuckled. "Gary, you've had enough, take a break! I think this time, we should send I someone who hasn't been on a mission in a long time. And that person is you, Paul."

Paul blushed slightly at getting the honor of targeting this girl. Though he hid his emotions quite well and smirked. "Well, better me than a certain someone! When do I leave?"

Gary sneered at Paul and Cyrus chuckled.

"Whenever you like!" Cyrus said, still chuckling calmly. "I want you to bring her to me, alive!"

Paul simply nodded without any further questions. He headed out the building, packed his stuff, extra clothes just in case. And other things he would need for the long journey to Twinleaf. He rode on his Honchkrow and flew off.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

"Dawn? Wake up!" A voice shouted. "It's time to go to school!"

"Mrg…" The 15 year old girl groaned as she slowly woke up. She checked the time on her alarm clock and groaned.

"Mom, I still have 30 minutes 'til school!" She mumbled sleepily as she covered herself in her sheets.

Dawn's mom, Johanna, sighed. Her pet Glameow purred innocently. Johanna gave a weak smile.

"Alright, go ahead…" She replied to her eager pet.

Glameow purred again, and headed to Dawn's room.

Dawn was still fast asleep and didn't expect anything. Glameow cackled with glee and started tickling her with her paws. Dawn thrashed in her bed, laughing as she thrashed in her bed.

"Gah! Glameow stop it! Ok, ok, I'm awake!" Dawn mumbled sleepily. She sat up on her bed and groaned. She then changed into her pink miniskirt, black tank-top, and placed her yellow barrettes into her long, blue hair. Then she headed downstairs with Glameow.

"Good Morning, Dawn!" Johanna said, smiling. Breakfast was already on the table. "I can see that Glameow had done its job well!"

Dawn put on a sleepy smile, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "'Morning, Mom, and yeah, Glameow did its job really well!" She shot a nasty look at Glameow, who just purred cheerfully. She then turned back to her mom. "So why did you wake me up so early anyways?"

Johanna smiled and turned on the TV. She gestured Dawn take a seat.

"Just eat your breakfast and watch." Johanna said softly.

Dawn watched the TV and ate her toast. Her eyes widened.

"Aw great, another attack!" Dawn groaned. "Who is it this time?"

Johanna smiled. "Keep watching!" She simply said.

Dawn had finished her toast and continued to watch intently. Her eyes widened in shock.

There was an infamous group of three criminals and their leader somewhere around Sinnoh that did various crimes such as: kidnapping (their main job), sometimes thefts, and many others. The only one of the group that they really knew was Gary, since he attacked the most.

This time, the person who was attacked, or targeted which was recently the common term used for their victims, was her childhood friend, Kenny. He was attacked by Gary, as usual, but narrowly escaped. This made Dawn sigh with relief.

Johanna looked at Dawn with worry. "Isn't Kenny your boyfriend?"

Dawn smiled. "Was, Mom, was. It just didn't work out between us. We just thought of each other as friends! Besides, he's interested in another girl now, and I can't stop him from liking someone else!"

Johanna narrowed her eyes at Dawn. "Dawn, I want you to be careful when you go to school and back! You never know who will be targeted next! It could probably even be you!"

Dawn blinked, and then began laughing.

"Me? Targeted?" She said, laughing her head off. "Don't be ridiculous, Mom! I'm just an average ordinary high school girl! What would anyone want to do with me?"

Dawn went upstairs to brush her teeth. She smiled at her mom.

"I'm going to brush my teeth. Then I'm going to school." As soon as she finished, she headed downstairs with her backpack and walked out the door.

"Bye, Mom, and no need to worry!" She said cheerily as she waved good-bye.

Johanna gave a weak smile Glameow purred and curled itself into a ball so it could sleep. Johanna stroked her house pet softly.

"When you say no need to worry is when I worry the most!" She said softly as she watched Dawn from afar.

Dawn walked to school cheerfully, unaware of a cloaked, purple haired boy watching her from afar.

Well, that's it! Chapter 1 of Targeted! I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been too into an online game called Lunia. And I've been watching Soul Eater, another anime I've been into.
