Perhaps it's related to her relationships. Maybe she has a falling - out with her friends or feels left out. In fanfictions, authors often explore the emotional side of characters through their interactions with others. If Dawn's friends start to focus more on other things or other people, she could feel sad and lonely.
Another possibility is her unfulfilled dreams. If in the fanfiction, Dawn has a big dream like winning a major Pokemon tournament but keeps facing obstacles that seem insurmountable, this could lead to her sadness. She might start to doubt herself and her abilities, which is a common source of sadness in many stories.
It could also be due to family issues. Maybe in the fanfiction, her family has certain expectations that she finds hard to meet. Or perhaps there's some family secret that burdens her. Like, her family has a long - standing rivalry with another family, and she has to bear the pressure of this enmity, making her sad.
One reason could be unrequited love. In the Pokemon world, Meowth has a soft spot for certain Pokemon, like the Skitty. If in a fanfiction, Skitty rejected Meowth's advances, it would make him sad. Another could be his longing for acceptance. Meowth is a part of Team Rocket, but often they don't fully appreciate his skills. He might feel sad and underappreciated in a fanfiction scenario. Also, memories of his past life on the streets, before joining Team Rocket, might haunt him and bring about sadness.
It might be because of a loss in her life. Maybe she lost a loved one like a parent or a close friend. This kind of loss can bring deep sadness. Or perhaps she has dreams that she can't pursue. For instance, if she wants to study a certain subject but her family or community doesn't support it because of traditional beliefs. That would be really disheartening for her.
One way could be through the support of her friends. If her friends notice she's sad and offer their help, whether it's in training her Pokemon better or just being there for her, it can start to lift her spirits. For instance, they could organize special training sessions for her or simply have a heart - to - heart talk.
One reason could be social rejection. In many places, gay couples still face discrimination. Family members might not accept their relationship, which can cause great sadness. For example, they could be excluded from family events or cut off from family support.
Betrayal could be the root of their sadness. If one of them cheated on the other or broke their trust in some way, it would be a huge blow to their relationship. It could shatter the love they once had and make the whole story turn sad.
One possible reason could be isolation. If the character in the story has no one to play with or interact with in Roblox on Christmas, it would make them sad. Another reason might be the contrast between the festive mood in the game and their own lonely state. Christmas is a time for celebration and togetherness, and if they are alone, it would be quite depressing.
One reason could be jealousy. Maybe her friends get jealous of Hermione's intelligence or achievements and act mean towards her in the fanfiction. For example, they might exclude her from certain activities or make snide remarks about her grades.
One reason could be that he is constantly made fun of, even though it's part of his job as a clown. But it still hurts his feelings.
A possible plot could be that Dawn is kidnapped by a group of rogue Pokemon hunters. They think that by having her, they can gain access to rare Pokemon that she might have befriended. As she is held captive, she tries to figure out a way to escape using her knowledge of Pokemon and her wits. Meanwhile, her friends are on a desperate search to find her, facing various obstacles along the way.
