[Steven]: Congratulations to Brother Asher on yet another successful romance! Brother Asher has officially reached the Five Blessings milestone. At this rate, a Perfect Ten isn’t far away!

[Raihan]: Steven still hasn’t received any memories, yet somehow he’s even more excited than Asher, who actually has them.

[Steven]: Of course! Five episodes! Five whole episodes! Every single time, I’ve been the first witness to Brother Asher’s romances. Round it up and I’m basically half a family member already.

[Misty]:@Dawn, once you’ve recovered, @ me. I’ll add you to the family group chat.

[Elesa]: New members have to post a photo first. Those are the rules.

[Diantha]: Remember to dress nicely. I’ll even put together a special "meeting-your-husband battle outfit" for you.

[Cynthia]: ...Could the three of you stop bullying her?

[Diantha]: How is this bullying? It’s clearly a welcoming ceremony~

Meanwhile, in the real world—Lilycove City, Hoenn.

Dawn was sitting inside a room at the Pokémon Center.

Piplup stood opposite her, repeatedly patting her arm with its wings, its tiny eyes filled with worry.

Just moments earlier—

An enormous torrent of information had poured into Dawn’s mind without the slightest warning. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

At first, her entire body had frozen.

Then she’d become completely immersed in the memories and stopped responding.

Seeing that Dawn remained motionless for so long, Piplup finally panicked.

It resorted to its ultimate technique... jumping onto Dawn’s head and frantically using Peck!

"Piplup, Piplup, Piplup!"

"AAAAAH!!!"

Dawn abruptly snapped back to reality.

She grabbed Piplup off her head, her entire face flushed bright red.

"Piplup! What are you doing?! That hurts!"

Piplup breathed a sigh of relief.

Then immediately switched to an aggrieved expression.

"Piplup, Piplup!"

Dawn placed Piplup on the cushion beside her.

Then she sat down next to it, braced both hands on her knees, and took a deep breath.

She had now completely absorbed those memories.

From childhood to adulthood.

From the first time she’d stepped onto a Contest stage to getting married.

From becoming pregnant to giving birth to Hina.

And even the sweet life she’d shared with Asher after handing the Day Care over to their daughter...

Dawn covered her face and let out an incredibly complicated groan.

"Aaaaaahhh..."

"I’ve never even had a boyfriend before, and suddenly I have a husband and a daughter!"

"What am I supposed to do with this?!"

Before she’d even finished speaking—Hina’s face appeared in her mind automatically.

Long, light-blue hair.

Golden eyes.

Standing outside the Day Care and waving at her.

Then, in that soft voice—

"Mom."

The instant Dawn remembered that warm scene, the rest of her complaints lodged directly in her throat.

She took another deep breath and tried desperately to force the image out of her mind.

It didn’t work.

Instead another memory appeared.

Asher was wearing an apron covered in Piplup patterns.

He poked his head out of the kitchen and smiled at her.

"Wifey, dinner’s ready."

BOOM!

Dawn’s face practically caught fire.

And only one thought remained inside her head:

See Asher.

Immediately.

Right now.

I can’t wait another second!

She shot to her feet, grabbed her backpack, and charged toward the door.

At the Pokémon Center reception desk—Nurse Joy was carrying a tray of medicine toward a Chansey when a pink blur shot past her.

The tray nearly slipped from her hands.

"Trainer! Please don’t run in the hallway!"

Nurse Joy shouted after her.

"Sorry! It’s an emergency!!"

Dawn didn’t even turn around.

The sweet memories in her head were like a runaway high-speed train repeatedly running her over.

Especially the memories of her married life with Asher.

Every time another one surfaced her legs moved even faster.

"Sorry! Coming through!"

"Sorry! Coming through!"

Dawn sprinted at full speed.

Behind her, Piplup desperately pumped its tiny legs, terrified of being left behind.

"Piplup! Piplup!"

By the time Dawn reached Lilycove City’s harbor—she happened to crash directly into May, who had just arrived.

May was hit head-on.

The two stumbled backward several steps together and nearly fell into the ocean.

"Dawn?"

"What happened to you?"

"Why are you breathing this hard?"

May steadied her.

Her gaze traveled from Dawn’s disheveled hair down to the pink Pokémon Center slippers still on her feet.

"Uh..."

"Are you planning to go find Asher?"

"Mm!"

Dawn nodded furiously.

"May, I need to go back to Kanto!"

"Now! Immediately!"

"Now?"

May checked the time.

"But the last ship left twenty minutes ago."

"The next one isn’t until six tomorrow morning."

"Six tomorrow morning..."

Dawn repeated blankly.

Then her eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Right!"

"Piplup can swim me there!"

Piplup, which had only just exhausted itself catching up to them, instantly widened its eyes.

It hurriedly crossed both wings in front of its chest in an enormous X.

"Great!"

"Piplup says it’s no problem too!"

"IT’S CLEARLY SAYING ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!"

May grabbed Dawn by the strap of her backpack and yanked her away from the edge of the harbor.

"Calm down first!"

"We can ask the group for help!"

"Maybe somebody can give you a ride!"

Dawn stared blankly for two seconds.

Then an imaginary light bulb practically went ding! above her head.

"Right!"

"We can do that!"

"Thank you, May!"

She hurriedly opened the giant screen and began typing at lightning speed.

[Dawn]: Um... everyone, I’m in Lilycove City right now, but there aren’t any more ships going back to Kanto. Can somebody help me? (>_<)

[Steven]: Any time! Any place! Devon Air is ready for immediate departure!

[Wallace]: Normally, getting you to approve a single document takes forever. Yet at times like this, you’re suddenly more enthusiastic than anyone.

[Volkner]: Wait, isn’t Steven suspended? How can he still mobilize the company’s private jet?

[Steven]: Oh crap! I forgot about that!

[Leon]: Hahahaha! When it comes to causing chaos, Steven really is unmatched among Champions!

[Asher]: ...

[Steven]: Ahem. Brother Asher, don’t worry. I’ll call Ruri right now—

[Ruri]: No need. The private jet has already departed. But Dad, why are there so many gemstones in your collection room that don’t exist in the future? You didn’t deliberately hide them after I was born, did you? Hmph. As punishment, I’ll be taking all of these with me.

[Steven]: YAMEROOOO!!!

[Dawn]: Um, thank you, Mr. Steven! Thank you, Ruri!

[Johanna]:[Image: Close-up of the family register]

[Johanna]: Everything’s ready. Departing immediately.

[Dawn]: MOM!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!

[Johanna]: Moving somewhere near Asher’s house, of course. Don’t worry. Mom won’t interfere with your lives. It’s just that when you and Asher get married, it’ll save us the trouble of moving later~

[Tiana]: Hehe, awesome! Mom Dawn is coming too! We’re having a huge feast tonight! (≧?≦)?

...

TL: Phew, it was a nice run, but I’m not a big Dawn fan. I need some MILFs! OLDER WOMEN, YOU HEAR ME? Lorelei, I know you can hear me please come home ?(ˊ?ˋ )?
