Hi everyone! I am Rubyspe and this is my first fic.

The story will be written in english, which is not my mother tongue. I am writting this in english because I think that a lot more people will be able to read the story and because it's a way of practising with this langauge, so it's like killing two birds with one stone.

As for the story, I do like the Sinnoh Dexholders a lot, but to include them would be probably very hard to me. As I said it's my first fanfiction attempt so if I have to manage a lot of different characters I think that the story will not benefit. I might put them in the story in the later chapters, but they won't be very important in the storyline.

The main characters will be very similar to the manga, all of them except Ruby and Sapphire. I will try to make them as similar to the manga as my story lets me, but they will be different. The ages will be different from the manga too (a gap of 6 years between the Kanto Dexholders and the Hoenn ones was to much for this fic). Emerald will be the youngest of them all but he will be the same age as Ruby and Sapphire.

The only thing left to say is that Reviews are needed in this story. If you see horrible mystakes... tell me please! As I said English is not my mother tongue. And because amb new in writing, your constructive criticism will improve the quality of this fic.

Having said all this, I won't keep you any longer. Go ahead, and have fun!

5 Years before

Sapphire's POV

-We're here, let's go!- Ruby said to us handing me my pokemon. And we dashed out of our room/jail.

We were 10 people running in a long and not very wide corridor. Who were we? We were 4 girls and 6 boys and the names were Blue, Crystal, Yellow and me, Sapphire, for the girls part and Red, Green, Gold, Silver, Emerald and him… Ruby. The elders were Red, Blue and Green who were 13; Yellow was next being 12; Silver, Gold and Crystal were 11; leaving Ruby, me (tomorrow is the 20th of September, my birthday) and Emerald (he is a couple of moths younger than me) as the younger ones being or nearly being 10.

Why we were running? That's very simple. We were escaping for the people that had kidnapped us 3 months ago. I was in the woods when it happened. When I woke up the next day I was in a plane with 8 more people, all of us except Ruby who had been in our destination for over a month when we arrived. We were put in a kind of prison and there we were made to make some kind of physical and pokemon training and a lot of medical tests, a very weird ones.

When we arrived there we didn't know anyone but as the time passed we became the best friends we could be and started to know everyone better: Red, a red-eyed boy with black hair, was a very great battler, a very cheerful and nice boy. Blue, the blue eyed girl with long brown hair, was very cheerful too and she knew how to enlighten the horrible mood in there. Yellow who was a very shy, blonde girl with amber eyes was very terrified there at the beginning but we after discovered that she could talk to pokemon and even heal them(she called those the Viridian powers). Green, who had spiked brown hair and green eyes, was a great battler too but he was the silent kind, he was very serious but loyal. The same goes to Silver, a red haired boy with grey eyes who didn't know his parents. Gold was quite the opposite, a golden eyed boy who liked to take risks and who liked to seduce girls (he said he could seduce every girl he wanted) and was quite immature, but like everyone was a force of nature at battling. Crystal, the crystal blue eyed girl and who had blue hair tied in two pigtails in each side of the head, was the other opposite of Gold, she was very serious and depressed because she understood the situation more than him but she was very friendly, and very intelligent. Emerald, he was a very short boy with blonde hair and emerald-like eyes, was very immature but at the same time very reliable when it came to battling. Me (Sapphire), a brown haired and sapphire eyed girl, was more like a lady than the others, but in the time I was there I changed from a lady like girl to a more independent one, from a scared puppy to a one that anyone could loose in a pokemon fight or in a willpower ompetition. All thanks to them, all thanks to him…

And, finally, there was Ruby… Ruby, the ruby eyed boy with black hair on which we all relied when we were there… He was the same age as me but he was the most mature of us all. We were quite distant from him at the beginning but then he helped us a lot to feel happier, to have faith in ourselves and to have faith that we could be out of there soon. Although he was all this he was the one who had suffered the most because he was there before us. For that he was quite the leader of the group. He probably knew what was happening there but he never told us, he always kept the worst things for him only to make sure we remain fearless. He never said that but I kind of know. At the beginning I was very weak and he was there to stand up for me and others when the grunts made us battle force me to fight, he was sometimes punished for that but when he entered the jail after the punishment he acted as it was nothing. He was the nicest person I've ever met and I would probably tell that when all had finished.

We also learned about the past of the gang: Blue and Silver were like brother and sister; they didn't know they parents so they lived in an apartment stealing what they need to live, they were quite the best thieves one can met. Yellow lived with her uncle when she discovered her powers being healing, seeing the minds of pokemon, talking with them… Red was the son of a former Kanto league champion. Green was the grandson of PROF. OAK and he didn't remember his parents since they died when he was little. Crystal and Emerald also knew each other, they were both from an orphanage since Emerald never get to k now their parents and Crystal's mother couldn't take care of her. I was Gold was from a normal family who had a lot of pokemon. I am the only child of PROF. BIRCH and I didn't met my mother neither. Ruby on the other hand didn't tell us much of his family or past, he only said that he had a mom and dad and that the last one was going to take the exam to be a Gym leader, probably from him he inherited his tactic ability.

One time, when we were planning the escape of this lab-prison Gold showed a tiny poster which ended to be the announcement of the Pokedex Holder tournament. The tournament was for groups of 10 people that must fight in a tournament and the winner team were given the most wanted reward… the Pokedex an item that works as an encyclopedia of pokemon and also shows that you are one of the bests battlers in the world and put you in the same step as the gym leaders in the time of fighting criminal organizations. We all agreed that if we could go out of that prison alive we would enter the competition and win it.

But before that we had to escape the prison. As we were running we turned left only to see a dead end.

-It's a dead end- Emerald said- we are stuck in here.

-No we're not!- said Blue pointing the wall in front of them.- Now that's the place Green, Red, Gold you know what to do.

Then green sent out his Schyter, Red his Poliwrath, Poli and Gold his Typlhosion, Explotaro.

-Explotaro, flamethrower!- said Gold, and the pokemon threw a lot of fire at the wall. After a minute he stopped seeing a red from the fire steel wall.

-Poli, hidropump!- continued Red, and the wall was rapidly cooled.

- Schyter slash!- finalized Green, and 4 smooth slashes after that a door was drawn in the wall.

At that time something we didn't expect happened… the recently created door was beginning to fall to the insides of the building, and steel vs. the floor would cause a great noise and we would be discovered. I panicked.

-Ruru, Psychic hold the wall while you can- Ruby reacted the first sending out his Kirlia- Crystal sent out your Xatu to help Ruru lift the wall and put on the ground smoothly. Green send your machoke to help us.

-Go Machoke use your muscles to land the steel in the ground- said Green.

- O-Okay, go Tupeon use Psychic- said Crys.

With that they put the wall on the floor without a sound and then they withdrew their tired pokemon.

After that I could sense than the atmosphere was very tense and that we were all recovering from the shock and we were running out of time.

-We should go, now!- whispered Blue, reading my mind and we headed out the building.

There the 3rd part of the plan was started. The first part was thatt Ruby, Blue and Silver stole back our pokeballs from the room they kept them, near their boss office, without being detected. The second was the plan to get out of the building through that hole in the wall. Finally, the third part was the most difficult part… the creation of a distraction and the escape.

-There is absolutely no way to go out unnoticed, the furthest we can go without being noticed is outside the building- explained Ruby.

-Why?-I asked.

-Let's just say that we are very important to them- he said.

-For what reason? Why are we so important to them?- asked Green.

-I don't know- he lied, he knew what was happening there- but the fact is that we must dash out of the building without being spotted by them, then we will have to escape quickly.

-So how do we escape?- I asked worried.

-In case you don't know this prison is a mobile one, it's like a mobile base that you can put wherever you have enough landscape- he explained.

-It is?- me, Emerald and Gold were surprised.

-Yeah probably because you haven't stayed here as long as I did you never experienced changing its location, I said that to Blue, Green and Red the night we were called to pass some kind of strength test, and silver knows it too- continued him.

-So you thing that could work in our benefit?- asked Crystal- For me that means that they can chase us when we go out flying.

-Yeah, but that can work on our favout too-said Ruby- if we break the engines and we burn the fuel they won't be able to chase us.

-And that would cause a commotion and a great distraction for all of us, they will be so busy repairing all of that and extinguishing the fire that they could not notice us escaping- Green concluded.

-Yes and no- Ruby said- they will know we have escaped and come for us but they will have to rely on a pokemon aerial fight. The distraction can cause them to be late and not finding us or in the worst case we would be found by a tiny number of enemies that can make us win.

-So, what I assume is that this plan is the best way to success but that there's not a perfect plan when we will absolutely go out without trouble- ended Silver.

At this point I frightened, why there wasn't a plan that could assure that? We have passed through a lot of things and if this plan didn't success we would probably be stuck in there for ages waiting for another opportunity. Yellow and Crystal seemed to realize that as well but Red and Gold spoke next:

-Nothing bad is going to happen, relax- Red said with a smile towards Yellow.

-Yeah, Crys have some faith- exclaimed Gold.

-It's true that there's never a perfect plan, all of them can fail, but I assure you something- Ruby said confident- it's the best thing we can try, we all are great battlers if needed. We are escaping the night of the 20th of this month okay?

-Okay!-we all whispered in unison, even if I was just as worried as before.

-We will be escaping the day of your birthday so relax, nothing bad can happen in your birthday can it?- Ruby whispered this to me smiling and then he went to sleep.

I felt relieved at the end of his sentence, like I was protected from all harm.

So we were there, outside the building, and separating in two groups. One was comprised by Yellow, Crystal, Blue, Silver and Ruby who were in charge of prepairing the pokemon we were going to use to escape: Red's Aerodactyl, Aero; Green's Charizard; Silver's Murkrow; Crystal's Xatu; Gold's and Emerald's Mantine and my Tropius, Pilo. They were searching for any tracking item and healing every single wound they had. And the other ones were going to make the distraction. The plan was to burn all the fuel they had and to damage all the structure of the lab-prison. The worst part was that we had to do that very quick to have time to escape.

-Now Emerald use your Dusclops to burn the fuel- ordered Green.

-Okay, go Dusclops use Will-o-Whisp- -and the ghost-flame entered to the fuel's deposit- now be prepared this will explode any time.

-Okay now the rest, we have only one blow so please don't fail!- sad Red afer releasing his yarados, Gyara and Lax, his Snorlax.

The rest of us released the only pokemons that could use that attack. Gold released his Aipom, Ataro. Emerald used his Dusclops and his Snorlax. I released my Lairon, Rono, and Dono, my Donphan. And finally Green released his Porygon.

-Okay, Green, your turn-said Gold waving at his senior.

-Porygon, enter the electric system and fry all their systems and connections- said Green and Porygon disapeered in the net- Okay be prepared!

We then fixated our objectives, the first floor where the labs were, the engine's floor just below that and the fuel tanks that didn't exploded earlier. We were hiding of course, the organisation grunts were already trying to extinguish the fire and repair the damage and searching for the cause of that. Then suddenly all the lights were turned down and the electric distribution system was starting to spark and burn. After a short time Porygon returned and Green withdrew his pokemon.

-Hyper beam -we said in unison to our hidden pokemon and then powerful beams of energy were thrown to the building we were trying hard to scape from.

The darkness of the night and the fire prevented the grunts from seeing the beams and to only notice the explosions and the destruction they caused. After that we all returned our pokemon and started to run to the other group who were waiting for us. After a minute we were there only to find a very foggy place. Hiding in there were Ruby and the others.

-Everything okay?- asked a worried Yellow.

-Yeah!-said Gold- they are quite busy now.

-So what arewe waiting for?-asked Crystal.

-Nothing, now everyone ride your pokemon and let's go!- said Green.

-We all know were is the meeting place, the pokemon too. We will go there in 5 groups, Red and Yellow on Aero, Green and Blue on Charizard, Gold and Crystal on Mantaro and Tupeon, Emerald and Silver on Manitne and Murkrow and finally me and Sapphire in Pilo. We all know the routes, now please take care and... See you there- added Ruby with an encouraging smile.

And then we parted, the routes were a bit diferent from each other but not very much. The only reason we divided in groups was that we had more chances to leave unnoticed. Some routes were higher than the others and some were more at the left or at the right from each other. Our route was the highest and in the middle, more or less. We decided those in a random game since this was the least important part in our escape. Just after we parted we heard an alarm ring coming from the base, or our prison. My senses became alert to every movement in the night in front of us. Ruby became alert too, and began saccning our surroundings.

After a while I relaxed, we had been flying for like an hour now and nothing happened. We were flying above a great city and it seemed they had a festival. I felt relieved, we were flying on Pilo, and that was the best feeling in the world. The fresh air, the freedom, the stars, the moon, him by my side... It was like a dream.

-Happy birthday Sapphire- said Ruby still looking for any danger in the darkness.

-What?- I was taken back by his comment.

-Today's your birthday remember? I believe that it is long passed midnight right now, so happy birthday- said Ruby smiling at me and then he went back to scan our surroundings.

-Yeah it's true, thank you!- I said hugging him from behind. That was it I was going to say it- Ru-Ruby I, you know... I would like to tell you something...

-What thing?-he said searching in the dark.

-W-well...- I began.

It was a dream, the best I ever had, I was going back to our family, with a lot of new friends, with him... It was like a dream... and it became the worst of the nightmares.

-WATCHOUT!- Ruby yelled- and pulled me back. I paralised. I didn't know what was happening. I looked around and then I saw it, a huge Salamence just in front of us.

I didn't had time to react as the pokemon flew towards me. Ruby pulled me aside and faced the pokemon. He was going to fight it with one the pokemon he was releasing when the Salamence attacked him with a Dragon Claw. He tried to dodge it but he wasn't quickly enough.

Blood. Blood was falling from the left part of his head." Ruby's hurt!"that was the only thing I could think about but I was so terrified that I couldn't even move a muscle. Ruby tried to stand up muttering something like "Pro-tect her..." but then the Salamence attacked him again and he fell off Pilo, the Salamence rushing after him. Ruby only shouted one thing:

-Pilo, keep going!- yelled the falling boy.

And all became quiet agian. I was there, on top of Pilo unable to move a muscle until it was too late, when we where too far to come back for him. I was crying. What the f*uck had happened? A moment ago I was hugging him, everything was perfect and now he was, dead? No iI couldn't believe that, I just couldn't. But he was, there's no way he or anyine could survive to that fall.

I was crying all the rest of the trip. Nothing happened at the rest of the flight. When we landed I could see them all, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Gold and Emerald. They were talking and laughing very happy, they probably had already phoned all of their families or relatives. The first to notice me was Blue, who waved at me with the biggest smile I had never seen her wear. When she saw my red, and still crying face her smile dissapeared.

-What's the matter Sapphire?- she asked concerned, making all of them to come towards me with the same worried face.

-Ru-Ru...- I couldn't say nothing clearly due to the tears and the spasms I was having.

-Ruby? Yeah where is he?-said a very worried Emerald, making all of them even more worried.

-Sapphire calm down, what happened?-asked a very worried Crystal.

-Ru-Ruby! We were flying... A Salamence attacked us a-and Ruby fell of Pi-ilo. He fell off Pilo and now he-he's dead... H-he died to protect me...-I said crying just before passing out.

Today, 10th of September

Ruby's POV

The term had already started, it started about 10 days ago. And here I am entering a new different college, the Pokemon Academy is called. I was going to my class with the academy's director and the teacher who is going to introduce me and teach me my first lesson in this school. When we arrived there everyone was inside the class talking with each other. Then the teacher entered and everyone sat down. Then the director spoke:

-Well today we have a new student in here. I would like you to be nice to him and make him feel comfortable. Please enter and introduce yourself.

I entered and after a brieve look I saw her, in the middle of the class was that same girl from those years ago... Sapphire.

-H-hi everyone. My na-name's Rub, nice to meet you.

So, well that's all for the first chapter. That was quite long, I don't kow if I will be able to write so long chapters but I will try.

PS: the final sentence is written correctly. (It will be important in the story).

As I said any review is welcome!
