Disclaimer: Don't own Pokespe. Well, Hannah and Alex are just Team Rocket Grunts I made up, but Team Rocket is not owned by me. It's owned by Giovanni. ANYWAYS…
AN: Here it is, Gold and Yellow! I've always found it cute that all three Johto Dexholders have been surprised with the fact that Yellow's older than them. This story doesn't really play on that, but I thought it was cute. Right. To the story:
"Isn't this fun!" Yellow said happily, grinning at her Rattata. Gold suppressed a groan and nodded weakly back at her. Yellow had asked if either he or Crystal were free to go fishing with her, since Red was away at the Indigo Plateau. Crystal, seeing this as her chance to have a Gold-free afternoon, had fiercely insisted that he go. Gold was never that good under pressure, especially pressure from Crystal, so he hastily agreed. And now, three hours later, he found himself sitting in the grass, half-heartedly holding a fishing pole as absolutely nothing happened.
"Hey, Yellow," he said for conversation, "Did you bring many Pokeballs?"
"Oh, no," she looked taken aback, "I don't want to catch these Pokemon! I just like meeting all new Pokemon!"
"Oh." Well, that's just great.
Gold sighed and stared down at the water. His own sullen face stared back at him. He made a face and his reflection mirrored it. He chuckled, until a Goldeen stuck its head up and made a face at him. "Whoa!" he swerved backwards, startled, as the Goldeen snickered meanly and dove back into the water. He scowled down at the now clear water, his bad mood worsening.
"So, Yellow," Gold said, resigned, "Not to be rude or anything, but this is super boring." Yellow turned to look at him, and he continued, "And the Pokemon are super mean to me!"
"It'll get interesting," Yellow responded with a knowing smile, "I promise." Gold sighed and looked back at the water.
I'd like to see that Goldeen come back, he though spitefully, I'll show it! It'll know that it never should have messed with me!
You realize that this is a GOLDEEN, right? A voice inside his head said, Like it's a Pokemon. Chill.
Shut up, He told it, No one likes you.
"Yellow," he whined, "Nothing interesting is happening!"
Yellow gave him a sideways look, a secretive smile on her face, before turning back to her fishing. About three seconds passed before a loud BOOM came from down the river and Gold, startled, slipped off the precarious cliff over the river they were sitting on and landed in the water. He resurfaced, spluttering, and looked up at Yellow, who was already packing her fishing rod into her bag and returning Ratty to his Pokeball.
"Well, come on," she said brightly, making her way down the river. Gold climbed up behind Yellow and hurried after her, confused.
"Wait, Yellow," he tried as they walked down the banks, "Did you, well, you seemed like you were expecting- I mean, did you know-" Before he could finish, Yellow stuck her hand out and stopped walking, making a shh-ing noise. Gold immediately shut his mouth, something that wasn't too common when it came to him.
The two of them peeked out from behind the tree that was in front of them. With Yellow's petite stature, they looked rather comical, Yellow's head sticking out from behind a tree and Gold's head above her.
"Team Rocket!" Gold hissed immediately, making Yellow shh him again.
And indeed it was Team Rocket.
"Hurry up," one of the Grunts, let's call her Hannah, hissed, "We need to be back at base as soon as possible!"
"What do you think I'm doing," said the other Grunt, let's say Alex, who was knee deep in the water, "Having a freaking tea party?"
"Oh, shut up," Hannah snapped, "Just get going."
As Yellow and Gold watched, Alex grabbed a Magikarp out of the water and tossed it to Hannah, who threw it roughly into a cage and shut the door. The cage was already filled with about ten Magikarp, and Alex and Hannah seemed like they weren't done yet.
"Hey!" Yellow jumped, startled, and looked behind her to see that Gold was no longer standing there. Instead, he was making his way towards the Grunts. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded, "You catch Pokemon with Pokeballs not a cage!" Yellow's eyes widened and she started to make her way over to where Gold was standing, glaring at the two Grunts.
"Get out of here!" Hannah snarled, "You have no idea what we're doing!"
"Yeah!" Alex called, "I mean, if you knew that we were going to force all these Magikarp to evolve into monster Gyarados, then you'd be pretty scared."
"Excuse me?" Gold shrieked, his voice high pitched and cracking like a prepubescent boy's. Yellow almost giggled at the horrified look on Gold's face, but decided that this wasn't the time and adopted a similar expression.
"You idiot!" Hannah moaned, throwing a rock at Alex's head, "I can't believe you just gave away our plan like that!
"You can't do that to Pokemon!" Gold ranted, throwing his hands around in desperation, "Do you know how much that stunts their development? A LOT. A Pokemon should be allowed to grow properly, at its own pace! That's the only way it'll have a proper foundation! Not only that, it traumatizes them! A happy Pokemon is a strong Pokemon, I say. And how the hell would you even force them to evolve? I mean, I'm no evolution expert, but even I say that sounds stupid. And mean. And wrong." Gold glared at them. Yellow clapped enthusiastically.
"As if a little kid would know anything about this," Hannah huffed, and then pulled out a Pokeball, "Let's show them a thing or two about the real world! Zubat!"
"What?" Gold groaned, "You've got to be fucking with me. Zubat? Are you serious? Do all of you Rockets have exactly the same Pokemon?
"Zubat, astonish!" Hannah screeched.
"Go Kitty!" Yellow yelled and Gold jumped out of the way and Yellow's Butterfree sent supersonic towards the Zubat. "Keep it up, Kitty!" Yellow called as she and Gold ran over to the cage to free the Magikarp.
"Get away from there!" Hannah yelled. Alex rolled his eyes, climbed out of the river, and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Gold and Yellow.
"Hands up or I'll shoot," he told them. Gold and Yellow froze, staring at the gun.
"Whoa, man, not cool," Gold said, his hands over his head, "What do you think you're-"
"Silence!" Alex yelled, looking very pleased with himself, "Now, I'll bet we'll get a lot of money holding two kids for ransom, huh, Hannah?"
"Right!" Hannah agreed, dreamy eyed, "We'd get thousands of Pokedollars! And then I can buy jewelry! Lots of jewelry! I'll live like a king!"
"Yeah, and I can get all the burgers I want!" Alex added, "And I can just eat and eat and eat and eat!"
"With gemstones! Shiny gemstones!"
And ketchup and ham and tomatoes!"
"Oh, and necklaces! Fancy necklaces!"
"Except not cucumbers, because those are gross."
"Oh, we'll be rich!"
"And full!"
Gold looked confused, and then turned to Yellow with a worried expression on his face. Yellow looked unperturbed, and even had a small smile on her face.
"Now," Alex said, turning his attention back to the two kids, "Hannah, tie them up."
"Gladly," Hannah smirked evilly.
"What seems to be the problem here?" A booming voice echoed in their skulls. The four of them turned to see a large, man-like Pokemon, hovering a couple of inches over the ground, giving them a disapproving look.
"Mewtwo!" Yellow called happily, beaming, "What brings you here?"
Mewtwo? Gold's eyes widened. The legendary Pokemon? What was it doing here?
"I felt a disturbance in the force," Mewtwo said dramatically before shaking his head and looking down at Yellow, "No, actually, a Magikarp that swam down to Cerulean Cape told me what was going on, and that I had to come help. He was very insistent."
Alex gave Hannah a confused look before turning and firing a couple of shots at Mewtwo. Which, of course, bounced off of his shield.
Mewtwo turned slowly and gave the two Rocket Grunts a withering look. Pretty soon, the two grunts were knocked out and Mewtwo stood exactly where he was, looking very pleased with himself.
"Well, if that was the only problem," Mewtwo said, "I guess I'll be going. Nice to see you, Yellow, strange goggled boy," he inclined his head towards them and sped off, Gold staring open mouthed after him.
"But the- the- Mewtwo- Ye-yellow-" Gold tried, but Yellow just grinned at him.
"Come on," she said brightly, "Let's get the Magikarp back in the water!" She skipped off, leaving him dazed.
Gold didn't say anything as they cleaned up the clearing and dropped the two grunts off at Officer Jenny's place. When they neared Professor's Oak lab, Yellow said, "See, I told you fishing would be fun!"
Gold narrowed his eyes at her. Did she know? No, she couldn't have. There was no way. Right?
Before he could say anything, Silver and Crystal walked out of Professor Oak's lab, smirking when they saw him and Yellow.
"Hey, Gold," Silver teased, "So how was fishing?"
Gold looked at him for a while before breaking out into a grin and saying, "Actually, really exciting."
"Oh, don't lie, Gold," Crystal rolled her eyes, "No offense to fishing, Yellow, but Gold isn't really the 'sit and do work' kind of person."
"No, really," Gold protested, "It was really cool! There was Team Rocket and Pokemon poaching and then Mewtwo showed up and-"
"It's okay Gold," Silver said mockingly, "You don't have to make stuff up. We know you were bored out of your mind."
Gold saw Yellow smile knowingly before walking away in the direction of her little cottage. "Hey, Yellow!" he called, running after her, "Wait up! When are you going fishing again?"
AN: How'd you like that? Well, I wouldn't know unless you REVIEW…! Anyways, you can review with comments on this one, or any suggestions of pairing or situations that you want that pairings to be in, for the future.
The next one is either going to be Silver and Gold, or Green and Yellow. I think. Unless I have a burst of inspiration and write a whole other pairing.
I told myself that I would update this one every SUNDAY, and I tried to get myself to wait until Sunday to post the first chapter. But obviously, I couldn't. I wasn't… strong.. enough.
Regardless, the next one's probably coming next Sunday, cause I really don't know if I can get it done by this Sunday. Exam week peeps. :P
