Summary: At
Professor Rowan�s funeral, Dawn sees a person she�d hoped to forget.� Not long after this, an elderly woman asks
her for a favour: hatch a 150-year-old Teddiursa egg in the Ruins of Calarai, which is farther
south than she�s ever travelled.� Dawn
eagerly accepts; however, it appears that she is not the only one on the way
south.� Like it or not, this isn�t a journey
she can manage on her own.� And why does
she have the nagging suspicion that they�re being followed?� Yes, title is shamelessly borrowed from �Blue
October�, but titles are my weakness and the story has nothing to do with the
song.� I just like the sound of it.

Prologue

Death was not something that Dawn was used to being
around.� Years ago, she�d witnessed the
death of a Pok�mon, but he�d been restored to life soon after.� Pok�mon could do that.� People could not.� As devastated as she was, Dawn also realised
that people couldn�t live forever, either: Professor Rowan was old, and it was
simply his time to go.� As far as she
knew, he went peacefully in his sleep and was surrounded by this Pok�mon as he
died.� Yet, as comforting as it was, she
couldn�t stop the tears that flowed freely down her cheeks and dripped onto her
shoes.

She didn�t really know what caused her to look to her
right; it might have been intuition, or perhaps coincidence.� Whatever the reason, Dawn looked up and felt
her breath catch in her throat.� Standing
next to Professor Oak was her old mentor, Ash Ketchum, whose face looked blank
as he stared at the casket.� Anger
swelled within Dawn; he had no real connection to Professor Rowan.� He had no reason to be there.� If anything, he was there to just harass her,
to rub all of her failures in her face like he did before�

She snapped her head back as he looked towards her,
staring determinedly at the casket as it lowered into the earth.� She tried to focus on the rest of the funeral
as Rowan�s family said their goodbyes, tossing flowers onto his grave after it
was filled with dirt, but the fury at Ash�s appearance distracted her from all
else.� When they�d parted five years
ago, she had sworn to never see or speak to him again and he had done the
same.� Call her immature, but she could
never forgive him for what he did to her.�

People began to move away, fanning themselves from the
heat, and Dawn took that as her cue to turn and go before Ash tried to get near
her.� Her stupid shoes � her stupid,
expensive heels that she just had to buy because they were on sale � were
awkward and uncomfortable on the grass, making travelling difficult, and her
rising skirt didn�t help much either.�
She hadn�t had any trouble on her way over, but then, it had been cooler
outside and she wasn�t hurrying.� Dawn
made it to the vehicle before her mother did and jiggled the handle, kicking
the tire in frustration when she found it was locked.

�Slow down, Dawn,� her mother scolded, finally catching
up to her daughter.� �I�m not as young as
I used to be.� What�s your rush?�

�No rush,� Dawn lied, wiping the tears away from her
face.� �I just...it�s really hard, saying
goodbye to him, you know?� I mean...he
gave me Piplup.� She instinctively stuck her fingers
inside her purse to touch the Pok�ball containing the Penguin Pok�mon, which
would have come out had Pok�mon been permitted inside the graveyard.

�It�s always hard to say goodbye to someone you cared
about, Dawn, but to rush out...it�s disrespectful.� Imagine what his family is thinking!�

�I�m sorry, all right?�
I mean, I want to...just forget it.� She clenched her jaw, glancing back
at the casket, where Ash was helping Professor Oak walk back to his own
vehicle.� With a jolt, she saw Ash help
the professor into the passenger side and realised that he was indeed old
enough to drive now.� She wondered if he
had his own vehicle (the stickers on the windows indicated that it was a rental
car) but then shook her head.� There was
no way she�d allow herself to be curious about anything in his life.

She and her mother drove back to Twinleaf Town in
silence, and after a few minutes Dawn began to feel despair for Professor
Rowan�s death again.� She sniffled loudly
and wiped her eyes with her palm.� �Oh,�
she said softly, then reached inside her purse and let Piplup
out of its Pok�ball.� The little blue
penguin ruffled its feathers before snuggling against Dawn, tears forming in
its own eyes.� She held it close all the
way home, and carried it up to her room with her when they arrived.� While she shed the last of her tears into her
pillow, Piplup curled up next to her head.� They fell asleep soon after, Dawn dreaming of
the day Professor Rowan first gave her the little penguin.
