I love Pokespe Adventures. That is my only excuse.

Something to note: I refer to the girl as Blue and the guy as Green. This is how it's supposed to be, and don't try to convince me otherwise, because the official English translation sucks. They even removed parts of the manga, such as when Blue's shirt ripped. So when I read that part in the manga, I instantly started pitying all those who only read the official English, since because they edited it, it made NO SENSE anymore.

Oh, and I know I really shouldn't start a new fanfic, seeing as only one of my other ones is finished, but I really, really wanted to do this one. Really. I'm sorry!

But I'll stop ranting now. Let's begin!

It would've been a good morning, Crystal thought, if not for the exploding chocolate.

Gold and Emerald had been…let's just call it experimenting. With microwaves. And chocolate. In bowls. Which they'd accidentally left a metal spoon in.

You see where this is going, right?

The resulting explosion had taken out most of Green's room, and the older boy had been extremely close to blowing them up as well. Crystal had thought about letting him, but Yellow and Platinum were already attempting to calm him down, and she felt that she had a duty to her senior and junior to help. So she did. And it was probably the only reason Gold and Rald were still alive.

Blue had filmed the entire thing. It ended up on YouTube.

After all the shouting had faded away, and a late breakfast of cereal and milk was dished out, Red strolled out of his room, yawning. He took one look at Green's room, which had been perfectly intact the night before, and asked, looking bewildered,

"What happened?"

And Crystal wondered for the thousandth time why in the world she had agreed to this arrangement in the first place.

The group of friends, hoping to save some money, were all living in one of Platinum Berlitz's vacation homes for the duration of the school year. Since none of them happened to live near the school, and they'd all really wanted to go to it for different reasons, the heiress had kindly agreed. Pros: they could all spend more time with each other. Cons: they could spend more time driving each other crazy.

Crystal personally thought that the cons outweighed the pros. Not that anyone listened. And it wasn't like she had enough money to do anything about it, anyway.

For obvious reasons, spirits were not high as they took the mile-long walk to school that day.

Red's phone rang, and he picked it up. A smile lit up his face as he exclaimed,

"Hi, Misty!"

Yellow stiffened. Misty was Red's friend from back home, and she had no idea what their relationship was like. To be honest, Crystal didn't know either, but she patted her senior on the back anyway, saying in a quiet voice so that Red couldn't hear,

"Don't worry. They're not that close."

Yellow's cheeks flushed bright red, and Crys instantly felt somewhat guilty.

"Is it really that obvious?" the petite girl asked quietly, not meeting her eyes.

"Well, not really," Crystal lied, causing Blue to suddenly have a mysterious coughing fit. An oblivious Red offered her a cough drop, which she waved away. Gold just rolled his eyes at the scene, letting out an exasperated sigh.

While Red chatted away happily to Misty, leaving Yellow to sink slowly into a pit of despair, Ruby and Sapphire continued the argument they'd been having since breakfast.

"Chameleons are not green, they change color, so they're legitimately rainbow."

"Their default state is green! You can turn red or green or blue, but I don't call you rainbow, now, do I?"

"Uh, hello? I'm a human; chameleons are lizards! It's not the same thing!"

"Of course it is! You're just an idiot!"

"That's the lamest excuse for an argument I ever heard!"

"You're the lamest excuse for an argument I ever heard!"

"What? That doesn't even make sense, you're such a loser!"

"I'm a loser? Ha! I bet I could beat you up in a flash, sissy boy!"

"Oh yeah, well, I could kick your butt in an IQ test!"

"Will you two please shut up?" Emerald finally asked, looking annoyed. "Who cares if the stupid chameleon is green or rainbow?"

"I do!" they both yelled as one. "Hey! Stop copying me!"

And so began a jinx war.

Silver plodded along, immersed in a video game, and Crystal wondered how in the world he didn't trip and fall when he wasn't even looking where he was going. Maybe it was a gift.

Platinum suddenly spoke. "We have almost arrived, everyone."

"Okay!" everyone who was paying attention chorused. Platinum had much better eyesight than the rest of them, after all.

Crys looked warily from the school building in the distance to her friends, and wondered how they were ever going to make it through the school year. But they had to be able to. How bad could it be, anyway?

It turned out that she would come to regret that thought later. Murphy's Law was one sneaky guy…

xXx

Blue stared at her class schedule, looking dumbfounded. "That can't be right."

Green was also studying his schedule, his expression neutral, as usual. "I assume they made a mistake. It's not impossible."

"Yeah, why do I have the exact same schedule as you? This doesn't make any sense."

"No, it's right," Yellow timidly interrupted. "See, they divide the students into regions. All the students in a region have the same schedule. I'm in Kanto too."

"So am I," Red noted, making Yellow's eyes light up. Blue noticed this and made a mental note to start setting something up. They'd never get together without her, seeing as Red was completely clueless and Yellow was way too shy. Green, seeing the look in her eyes, just sighed, used to her insane plans by now.

"Aw, that's too bad. I'm in Johto." Crystal commented. Gold grinned.

"Hey, Super Serious Gal! We're in the same region!"

Crystal's shoulders drooped, but Blue could see her eyes shining. She smirked. Maybe she could help some of her other friends while she was at it…

"What're you in, Silver?" she questioned. Her adoptive brother shrugged, flashing her his schedule. It also read Johto.

Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire ended up in Hoenn, much to Emerald's disappointment (since he didn't have his troublemaking partner, Gold, with him), and Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum were in Sinnoh.

Now that all the regions had been sorted out, Crystal dragged Gold and Silver off to class. Everyone else took this as a signal to leave the area in front of the office as well, splitting up into their respective regions.

Green took off at a brisk pace, making Blue run to catch up with him. Red and Yellow brought up the rear.

"So, it looks like we have Brock for Homeroom. Interesting." Blue commented.

Green didn't reply, as usual. She didn't really mind. It was what made him a good listener. They spent hours like that, with Blue just chattering away or venting, and Green staying silent. Red didn't understand how the arrangement worked, but then again, Red didn't understand lots of things.

They stopped in front of a door labeled with the number 20.

"This is the room," Yellow informed them, nervously staring at the ground. "Um… Should we go in?"

"Well, if we don't, we're going to be late, aren't we?" With this bit of logic, Green pushed past her into the room. Not wanting to be left behind, Red, Blue, and Yellow scrambled to catch up, got stuck in the door, and fell brilliantly into the room.

Everyone stared.

Blue dusted herself off and pulled a bright red Yellow to her feet, leaving Red to pick himself up off the ground. She flashed everyone a smile, skipping to one of the only free seats left in the room, which just so happened to be next to Green. Yellow hurriedly followed, pulling the brim of her straw hat down over her face.

Well, Blue thought, We're here. If Murphy's Law is going to do anything, it might as well do it today.

Murphy's Law did not disappoint, but not to the Kanto group. They were later.

No, it was the Johto group that it started with…
