The conversation she had with Sylar kept going through her head. Maybe traveling around would be good for her.

Dawn was back in Twinleaf town resting on Torterra's back and trying to decide once and for all if she should go.

Lucas had gone off to Sandgem town to check in with Professor Rowan and left his pokemon with her for some down time, except for Empoleon in case he needed him.

Umbreon leapt onto Torterra's back and crawled onto Dawn's lap.

"Hey cutie." Dawn said.

"Eon. Umbreon." was his reply as he nuzzled his trainer.

"So your trying to steal my girl?" a voice said startling her and Umbreon.

Turning they both saw the voice belonged to Lucas.

"I couldn't help it. He's just such a smooth talker." Dawn teased.

"Eon." Umbreon agreed playing along.

Lucas chuckled and walked to Torterra's head and gave him an apple "may I?" he asked.

Torterra devoured the apple in one bite before nodding.

Lucas climbed onto Torterra's back and crawled over to Dawn and wrapped his arms around her.

Dawn sighed happily as she snuggled against his chest.

They just stayed like that for a while before Dawn said "Lucas?"

Lucas looked down at her "yes?"

Dawn took a breath and said "I've been thinking about what Sylar said, about traveling to get stronger."

Lucas didn't say anything but motioned for her to continue.

"So I'm thinking of going to Kanto and I was hoping you'd come with me." Dawn asked.

Lucas gently squeezed her "I can't." he said sadly.

Dawn paused for a moment before asking "why not?"

"Dawn, Professor Rowan just offered me a job as his official assistant. I can't take off for the Kanto region." he said sadly.

Dawn nuzzled against him and said "don't worry its ok." she said.

Lucas took a deep breath and said "but you should still go."

Dawn looked at him "you should go and see some other regions. Catch some new pokemon and do the best you can." he whispered.

They were both silent for a long time before Dawn whispered "I'll do it."

(Next Day)

"And you promise you'll take good care of them?" Dawn asked.

Professor Rowan chuckled and said "for the hundredth time Dawn I'll treat them as I did my own children."

When Dawn gathered all of her pokemon to tell them the news at first they were happy she was going to a new region.

However then she dropped the bombshell and told them all that she was only taking Torterra.

The one who took it the hardest was Dragonite, hearing that her mama was leaving her made her burst out in tears.

It took her four hours of consoling and snuggles and eventually Dragonite calmed down but still wasn't happy.

"Now guys don't worry, just because I'm not taking you with me doesn't mean I'm just going to abandon you here. I promise I'll switch you guys out so you can come with me." Dawn said.

That at least cheered them up.

"Now Dawn you say your going to Kanto?" Professor Rowan asked.

"Yes." she said.

"Well, if your going there then maybe you should take on the Battle Fronteer. Brandon did encourage it." he said.

"Maybe, but I still want to capture new pokemon in Kanto." Dawn said.

(Three Days Later.)

Dawn was standing at the ramp to the boat in Canalave City.

The first to start crying was her mom.

"Now you be sure to call me every chance you get." she said with tears.

"I promise Mom I will." Dawn said as she hugged her mother tight.

Next was Professor Rowan "now Dawn, I've called my friend in Pallet town, he'll meet you and update your pokedex." Professor Rowan said.

Dawn hugged the Professor and said "and your sure you'll take care of everyone?"

Professor Rowan let out another chuckle and said "yes. Your pokemon will be in safe hands with me." he said.

And finally here was Lucas.

They both embraced each other and held on tight. He whispered in her ear "call me every chance you get too."

She whispered back "I will I promise."

They ignored everyone else around and kissed for one last time before they were forced to release and Dawn had to board.

(In Dawn's Cabbin.)

Dawn entered her room and was beyond surprised. It was huge!

Dawn instantly started giggling, she knew Lucas was responsible for this.

Thinking of him made her think of everyone still back on the docks and she started crying.

Torterra was obviously able to hear her crying and came out and nuzzled her.

"I'm sorry cutie. I know I should be excited that we're going somewhere new but all I feel is sad." she said before continuing her crying.

"Terra." he said softly.

"Torterra? Can I sleep on your back tonight? I just don't want to be alone right now." she said.

"Torterra." he nodded.

Dawn kissed the top of his head and said "thank you."

A/N well I'll state it now. I not only hate endings but I also hate writing them.

Now with this Chapter we are done with Pokemon Platinum.

It's been a hell of a ride and I'm glad I wrote this.

Not to worry, you'll not have to wait long for the next story which I'm calling.

Pokemon Firered.

Also if anyone has a problem with Dawn taking Torterra with her I have one thing to say.

I don't care. If you don't like it then either deal with it or go die.

I don't care which.

Now until we meet again (which will be soon.)

Jaffa3 out.
