Hm, for some reason I never read the latest update of this story. But I will do so now! I reread the whole thing to get it fresh in my mind again, and now it's time for the new stuff!
Paul and Dawn are getting to know each other! Or well, Dawn is getting to know Paul, Paul is just trying to survive her haha. I have to admit that Dawn is annoying at times, but that might be because we're reading things mostly from Paul's point of view.
I'm not sure why Paul would be in trouble with Cynthia, except maybe because he didn't contact her in a while. Still, I like that Paul somehow got stuck with Dawn on her way to her mother haha. I'm sure Johanna will be pleased her daughter brings a man home :P
It's impressive how much Dawn can talk, and it's also impressive that Paul had the patience to listen without flipping out haha. I liked how Paul let her sleep in his bed, not that he had much of a choice XD
I know this hasn't been updated in a long time, but it would be great if you would continue this! Thank you for updating, I hope you update soon, and keep writing! !

Ow, late review, too busy busy busy, but here it is anyway. Gotta love this chapter, with their interactions, just perfect! Dawn is just amazing, she just keeps on blabbering and nothing ever ruins her mood haha. Not even Paul, with his grumpy grumpiness. Speaking about Paul, he apologized! And Dawn was so nice about it. Oh, and I loved that statement from Dawn [Probably had something to do with last night, eh?] Genius haha.
Well, I'll hope I'll be able to read the next chapter soon, but until then see you :)

looks great so far. keep it up.

Brilliant chapter! Update soon! I loved how hyper Dawn was, and how Paul is slowly - but gradually - warming up to her. It's real cute. OMG! *squeals* I LOVE Ikarishipping! It's totes adorbs! XD Seriously. :D

Kul

First reaction; sudden lollipop appearance? Lol
Liked how the discussion between Dawn and Paul went although I'm sensing one more vigorous coming along (probly cuz Dawn's mom will be included), whelp...good luck Paul.
(I bet he sniffed her scent while he was at it(who knows( I hope)))
Keep doing your best
Continue! :3

I WANNA DAWN-BEARHUG! Anywaaaaays... Paul was being so sweet! And I laughed so much when Dawn started to rattle on about stuff. And I laughed harder when she was getting jealous because of his dimples. :D

Angsty-guy just made my day lol, well I'm glad that got settled out. (Paul had his days of fun but this was torture for him lol)
Continue! :3

PAUL HAS DIMPLES. HE HAS DIMPLES STAR I'M GONNA FUCKING-

A-ny-way. Long-ass review as a not-anon this time! It's your imouto Marichan, ready to review this chappie and hopefully the previous one too! I totally forgot you updated on Saturdays, so when I saw this glory in my inbox I almost cried. It cheered me up from...well, reasons. But on to more important things!

SHE CALLED HIM ANGSTY-GY AND YOU HAD ME HOOKED. I mean, I was already falling for this story, but original nickname. I am like 70000% done with the fandom at this moment, but oHMYGOSH you 're getting promo'd if I have to queue a million posts that say READ MY UNNIE'S STORY. :3

I just. Man, I love the way you write Dawn. She's bubbly and cheerful and quick to jump to conclusions and stubborn and slightly scary if you don't listen to her. It's like you combined Mitsumi and anime!Dawn and Plat all at the same time. GOSH. I wish I could write her like that...my dawn is cheerful and oblivious and a total heartbreaker all at the same time, and I'm not too sure about her (even though I've only written one ikari lmao/)

OH GOOD SO HE WASN'T TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF. Yeah, I was thinking that would have been way too sudden, although you know with all of the purpleeffem jokes I wouldn't be surprised if he tried. X3 But it's still p cool that he tried to apologize, even though it took him HALF AN EFFIN CHAPTER. PAUL U EGG. *glares*

And Paul's long day gets even longer. XD Really, I was surprised just like Dawn was at how quick he was to agree to her arbitrary planmaking; it wouldn't have been nearly as in-character if the events of the night before hadn't affected him, I think. Nice bit of character development there. u w u

You know, I am going to draw that scene and stick it on the blog. Because all I have is this mental image of Dawn sticking a hand out and a little lump of purple hair with eyes glaring at her. That is seriously the only mental image I took away from this chapter. Just think about it. A lump with glare-y Paul eyes. And purple hair. :3

Back to the dimples. You have no idea. My Paul feels have awakened x10000 and I am going to art and nOTHING CAN STOP ME. 'cept chem homework, but you know. That's not important. XD (wait yes it is I'm sorry unnie I'll do my homework ;A;)

In all seriousness though, nice chapter! n v n I'm really looking forward to the next! In the meantime, i'm gonna go around illustrating scenes. XDDD But really, spot-on with grammar and things. And I'm not just saying that. :')

I'M REVIEWING FOR THE PAUL AWKHUG YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

YOU TELL 'IM, DAWN! I was screaming at the screen when she shouted at him, and laughed at Paul and how un-faithful he was to himself. Brilliant chapter!

The atmosphere of the story is just wow. You can feel the difference when it switches between the two and feel a change at the end. Speaking of the end I didn't really understand it, i guess I'm out of touch with my anime

Whoa whoa whoa Paul tried to kill himself! But yay Dawn yay yay yay yay! You saved him! And then Paul saved Dawn! Yay yay yay! I was really scared when those guys went after Dawn, made me all shivery... And gah, Paul is so angsty (purple haired box of angst, lol). Dawn, you better cheer him up soon! xD
Thank you for updating and looking forward to the next one! !

So, am I allowed to declare my undying love for you right now? Because I want to. I really do.

This. Is. Amazing.

Oh my gosh, I don't read pokemon that often anymore, but when I do it is such a bloody treat! Especially if it's yours! I love this fic so much, and I feel bad that I haven't got my butt around to read it earlier, but here it comes. Here comes the big review. (I just wrote reviews per chapter then pasted this all together to form the motherload of reviews)

Prologue:
OH MY GOD WHY! WHY IS PAUL SO SAD AND UNHAPPY! NOOOOO! He's so lovely and he got beaten and he's so unhappy and Torterra I love Torterra so much like so so much and him and Paul have the best relationship ever and waaaah! This chapter is so sad!

It's the first chapter. And it's sad. Seriously I don't wanna know what else is next because if Paul is sad now what is he going to be NEXT. GOD. NO. NOT OKAY.

But Cynthia is adorable! With a capital A! Like seriously, she seems so cute and sweet! Also, took me a while to realise who Alder was (because I don't even keep up with Black and White) but when I realised he was hugging the ICE CREAM pokemon I laughed. Like uncontrollably. And the ice creaminess at the end. I just thought of them eating his pokemon. Because wow, why not.

(Who actually comes up with these pokemon ideas though. Really. An ice cream pokemon.)

Chapter One:
NO. I WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS CHAPTER. I WON'T. PAUL IS NOT SUICIDAL. NO. HE IS NOT KILLING HIMSELF. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS. THIS IS NOT OKAY. NO. I NEED AN ADULT. I NEED A SAFETY BLANKET. I NEED HUGS AND REASSURANCES. BECAUSE NO.

If he's not alive, I will hunt you down.

I'm joking. Or am I?

(Is this an AU? Or is Paul just really retarded? Wouldn't put it past him.)

BUT REALLY. This chapter. And my feels. They just collided and combusted. Sweet everything this was glorious and sad and I had all the moments of tearing up (doesn't help I was listening to sadish music because what else do you listen to when you realise your favourite character wants to DIEEE!) and it was terrible. But the SAND. The SAND is bad, and the DAWN entering his room and talking non-stop was glorious. And she distracted Paul and made him happy for like twelve seconds and it was just FULL OF FEELS.

Seriously. Put a feels warning on this thing. It's making me feel.

(Need to stop saying feel. It's getting weird.)

ALSO REFERENCE TO DREW BOOYAH I HEART THAT MAN.

But this is actually an amazing chapter and I am dying inside with the amount of awesomeness.

My favourite part right now is Paul. But no. Really. The angst is amazing. And HE IS NOT A COWARD! PAUL I LOVE YOU! He is perfect. But seriously. You write him so perfectly, like wow, I know Paul is broody but this is that times a thousand and I am so thrilled for that. \

(Aki, you might just complete me.)

Chapter Two:
THANK THE HEAVENS. DAWN. YOU BABE.

This chapter was just "jaw chattering let me gnaw off all my fingernails and the fingers because DAWN YOU NEED TO RUN RIGHT NOW WHERE IS PAUL" amazing. I'm so happy. The two of them just need to sob it out. In each others arms. Preferably forever.

Yeah. Forever is good.

But this was actually fantastic. I gasped a bit when Dawn just slapped him, but he did need it, like a lot. I mean, I love him dearly but dude. Sort out your man drama. You'll be fine. Dawn will look after him, right? RIGHT? I NEED THE RIGHT.

I'm so glad Dawn didn't get all attacked and all that, because she doesn't need that. At all. She needs Paul. Lots of Paul. All the Paul time.

Favourite part? PAUL ISN'T DEAD. So happy. Like dancing my fat ass around the house screaming in joy happy. That's the happy right now. I'm so glad he didn't jump off. But poor Paul. Poor Dawn. Poor EVERYONE.

(Dawn will look after him. I hope. Paul's to badass to be a wimpy wimp all his life.)

But dude. All up? These three chapters gave me twenty minutes of gut wrenching feelings. Like throwing my face at a wall over and over would've hurt less. Way less. It would've been nothing.

WRITE. MORE. YES. PLEASE.

"The purple haired box of angst!" Lol, way to describe him Dawn. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Continue :3

also I forgot to ask this before but um. may I have the honor of illustrating a cover for this story? ; v;
