Delia was smiling after getting off the phone with Johanna. She knew that Ash was going to be so surprised to see the love of his life after so many years being separated. She knew that she wasn't going to tell him that she was going to be visiting. Dawn's appearance will surprise Ash very much! I can't wait to see that! She thought as she grinned, thinking about the two young adults. She now knew that Ash had feelings for the blue-haired girl and she knew that Dawn had feelings for the raven-haired young man that she had raised. She also knew that their feelings were pure, but she also knew that things could happen as she knew that they haven't seen each other in a long time. She didn't and wouldn't mind if things do happen between them, but she knew that she would just have to advise Ash to be careful. She trusted that Ash will be careful with the love of his life. 

After all, it wasn't everyday that her son found someone that interested him romantically. Ever since he had met Dawn, he had became a lot more energetic and Delia remembered all the times he called her at a Pokemon Center to talk about his and her achievements. It was during one of these video calls that Delia had realized that Ash was starting to fall for Dawn but she didn't want to tell him that; she wanted him to learn about love for himself. She then found Ash laying on his bed, talking to Pikachu. "I miss Dawn," he tells Pikachu and the Electric Mouse Pokemon responded back to his trainer.  

"Pika, Pika," he responded back to Ash and the young man grinned to himself. 

"You're right, buddy. We'll see her again soon," he spoken and his words caused Delia to softly smile at her son. You will see her real soon, Ash. I promise you that. She thought as she left Ash and Pikachu to themselves. Paul and Zoey was using one of the rooms that Delia let them use and she decided to check in on them. When she knocked on the door, the door was answered by a very happy Zoey. 

"Mrs. Ketchum!" Zory greeted happily and Delia smiled at the excited girl as she watched Zoey be held by Paul. 

"Zoey," he spoke softly, not wanting to frighten Zoey but his soft voice made Zoey hug Paul a little more harder but Paul didn't mind. He knew that Zoey was excitable and he loved her in everything she does.  "I know you're excited about the baby but please don't hurt yourself," he begged the girl. Despite his best efforts, Zoey still worried him a lot. 

...

Dawn had just spoken to her Johanna about her decision to go back to Kanto to visit Ash and the woman gave her the courage and the advice she needed before she go back. "I just need to confess my feelings for him. But, I haven't seen Ash in five years. He probably got even more handsome." Dawn slightly whined to herself causing Buneary and Piplup to nuzzle her. Dawn hugged them closely to her. But no need to worry, you two, I will talk to Ash and confess to him. Dawn swore to herself as she got on a boat that was sailing to Kanto. 

It took a couple of days but when Dawn had founded herself on Kanto soil, she was immediately taken in by sights Kanto had to offer. Dawn glanced down at her PokeGear and she smiled. It's still traveling but it's the road to true love. She thought. When Dawn realized what she had thought, she blushed to herself. Stop it, Dawn. Get your head in the game. She thought to herself, walking with both Piplup and Buneary on both of her shoulders. The fought every wild Pokemon together unless they were tired and Dawn would switch them out with her other Pokemon that she had on hand. "Quilava, return," she quickly returned the Fire-type back to it's Pokeball. 

After a while, she had finally found herself in Pallet Town, the town that Ash Ketchum called home. "I'm finally here, Ash," Dawn whispered to herself but her two Pokemon could still hear her and they loved the fact that Dawn was so in love with the young man that had changed her life from the moment she had met him. Dawn knew that her feelings grew as they traveled together and she knew that she wouldn't be able to contain herself if she were to see Ash now. 

"Dawn, is that really you?" However, fate had other plans for the Coordinator as she turned her head to see a tall raven-haired young man. She could already tell it was Ash by his voice but as she looked at him for the very first time in five years, it was like time had seemingly stopped for the two of them. Ash was blushing as he stared at Dawn and Dawn was sure that she was bright fire red from the way Ash was looking at her. 

"Ash," she muttered, walking up closer to him. When Dawn reached him, Ash held Dawn very gently with his hands. 

"Pikachu, is this a dream? She's really here?" Ash asked Pikachu. 

"Pika, pika. Chu!" Pikachu was excited to Buneary and Buneary was excited to see Pikachu. Ash laughed at his deep voice made Dawn look up at Ash in shock. His voice had grown deeper. We've really have changed. Dawn thought as she hugged Ash. Ash hugged Dawn back. 

"Oh Ash, I missed you," she admitted to him and the raven-haired young man smiled to himself. 

"I missed you too," he said as he gently pressed his lips against hers. At first, Dawn stiffened in shock but she relaxed as she melted into the kiss. After a while, they had to stop to get air into their lungs but after a while, they realized what they had done. 

"We kissed!" They both shouted at one another, blushing very heavily.
