Thanks for continuing this story, I love the relationship that Dawn and Paul have. By the way, will you include Togekiss in Dawn's pokemon team? I think it would be interesting.

please don't wait another year to update this

Yay an update! Just what the doctor ordered after my shitty day yesterday lol! Can't wait for more!

Wow, so this is a blast from the past. I'm ecstatic you're still active :D

The Dawn/Paul interactions in this chapter were adorable :3 Ikarishipping isn't my OTP anymore, but it's still got a place in my heart. I really love the imagery of the last paragraph, it got a smile and some warm fuzzies out of me :) I really can't comment on anything but this chapter, because I haven't read the past few and can't remember the first couple I did read xD

The DP love series was what introduced me to fan fiction when I was ten, you see :D Preteen me was just looking for ikarishipping art and this fic popped up on a google search. You could probably find one of my reviews on DP love 1 or 2. I was one of those anonymous reviewers - I didn't have an account, didn't want to make one because I was a stickler for rules and wasn't 13 xD I was one of those cringy, demanding reviewers I'd bet :P please forgive preteen me's rudeness. I genuinely loved your work and really looked forward to reading more, I just didn't know the best way to phrase it xD

Anyway, don't mind me. I was just taking a walk down memory lane and saw you were still active, and I thought it'd be neat if you knew what this series meant to me :) I get to call myself an author now too because of you :D I haven't written much, but I'm getting there!

Thank you :)

I love the chapter 16 and 17 because Paul is like him I mean that Paul is an introvert guy. I hope that you will write new beautiful chapter in future like the last one.

P. S Pokemons don't speak human language

Great fan fiction! Please upload again!

This was a cute chapter, and oh man, I'm glad to see you're still writing this. Can't wait to see Dawn and Paul dealing with being in a relationship in front of some friends, lmao. Hope you update again soon!

And yeah, it's a bit sad to see the Ikari fandom so slow these days. I should really write something for them myself sometime soon. I'm glad to see people are still writing for them, though, even after all these years :')

I seriously hope your not dead. This story is amazing and it has been nearly 4 months since you last updated. Then again it took you nearly 7 years to write 16 chapters.

so is the moms name Reggie or Regina?

I'm excited for another chapter! Keep up the great work!

I'm really enjoying this! I can't wait to see how Ash and Brock react. Out of curiosity, and I'm sorry if you already answered this question, but is Dawn going to get Togikiss and Cyndaquil at some point? Those were two of my favorite pokemon for her and I think it would be sad for her not to get them.

Hey, this story is great. Ignore the person who insulted the story. People who call others "retards" are actually one themselves. Also, it was by an anonymous commenter. So, keep up the great work!

why in the name of God is there another ikari ship? How do you people even like that garbage, it makes no sense at all but since it is fanfiction ill let it slide. But then again...Paul, the most badass rival Ash has ever had, in a relationship with Dawn, Ash's best female travelling companion? Seriously, what is this?! You people are all idiots for reading shit like this and the people who write this stuff are honestly retarded. I seriously hope shitty fanfics like these can be taken down somehow and pathetic authors like you can go die in a hole.

What happened to Ash and Brook after Dawn left them to travel with Paul? (Do they ever meet up? , Will Dawn finally tell Paul the truth about her ditching Ash and Brook?

Hey this is the best Ikari fic I ever seen. By the way when are you updating the next chapter?
