This is my first story on FanFiction, so please enjoy! ^^
Capture the Flag
Chapter 1
Pallet Town; 3:00 PM
"Capture the Flag?" The black-haired boy said with an uneasy tone.
"Yes Red, and it's going to be the ultimate survival game~" The brunette, Blue, immediately pulled out a small list from her leather bag, while the rest of the Dex Holders only stared at her in surprise.
"But how would it be considered a survival game Blue?" Crystal asked meekly. "It's not really a game that lasts long. You just grab the flag, and you win."
"...Crystal, you know Blue." Green muttered, sighing loudly, enough for the energetic brunette to hear him, and she glared upon him.
"I would suggest that she has something up her sleeve in this game." Platinum said politely to her senior.
Blue only grinned brightly, and in her bag, she felt something sharp, like it was spiral-shaped. As she pulled out her yellow padded notebook, she motioned everyone to be silent. Because most of the Dex Holders were somewhat terrified by Blue, especially when she was planning a game, her game, they tended to follow her directions and commands.
"The game is simple, in organization, that is. There will be teams of two. If there's 13 Dex Holders in total..." She rubbed her chin with her fingers, in thought. "Then one person will have to be alone!"
The Dex Holders glared at her.
"I can't help that you know~" Blue giggled. "I guess a lucky person will have to be the Lone Wolf!"
All imagined the life of the Lone Wolf, lost in the forest, without anyone to depend on. That wasn't pretty.
"The team who grabs the flag and returns to their base first wins the game. But of course, it isn't going to be that easy. The other teams can attack you all they want. You need to use strategy, or you wouldn't get far at all."
"I have a question!" The ravage Sapphire hollered. "Can we use our Pokémon?"
"You certainly can! But here's a catch, you can only use one!"
The Dex Holders sighed in annoyance.
"So where's it going to be?" Red asked curiously. "There's a bunch of forests in Kanto. Namely, Viridian Forest."
"Well..." Blue started, "don't you think we should go someplace else? In another region?" She then turned to the Johto Dex Holders: Gold, Silver, and Crystal. "What's the largest forest in Johto?"
Gold rubbed his chin in thought. "Wouldn't it be Llex Forest?" Looking over to Crystal and Silver, they both seemed to approve.
"Eh, too small." The brunette then turned in the direction of the Hoenn Dex Holders: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. "What about the forests in Hoenn?" She asked the trio.
"Mhm, I think the largest forest there is the Petalburg Woods." Ruby answered with his hands in his pockets.
Blue was deep in thought, thinking of which forest to go to. But she had to have some list of choices. "Erm, alright, then how about you guys?" She pointed in the direction of the Sinnoh Dex Holders: Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
"Eterna Forest would be the answer." Platinum answered with a polite tone. "From our perspectives, the forest is quite large, and could be suitable for a game like Capture the Flag."
Blue smirked at Platinum, interested in Eterna Forest. "Then we should go there then!"
"Fufu, I've never been to Sinnoh before..." Sapphire muttered.
"Eh, me neither." Crystal said, nodding along with Sapphire. "Won't the Sinnoh Dex Holders have an advantage? Since they've been there before?"
Platinum quickly waved her hands, trying to reassure the blue-haired Dex Holder. "E-Eh, well, the three of us have not been there recently. If I remember correctly, the last time we went, we got lost!"
Diamond and Pearl quickly nodded along with Platinum to support her. "Mhmm, we haven't been there in a while. I doubt we remember what the forest looks like." Pearl said.
"How can I believe you?" Blue asked suspiciously.
"I-I suggest that you would have to find out for yourself, senior Blue!" Platinum replied nervously.
"Right." The brunette was clearly showing sarcasm in her voice.
"B-But, please believe us! I promise that we will not be subject to lying."
"As you say so."
"Blue, what's the point of playing this game if there's nothing to win for?" The calm Dex Holder, Green, asked suddenly.
"Hehe, so you do want a little challenge, do you?" Blue smirked at the seemingly bored Gym Leader.
"...That's wasn't my point." Green muttered.
"Well then!" Blue hollered cheerfully. "I guess this will be a penalty game! The losing teams will have to..." She smirked. "...CROSSDRESS!"
The Dex Holders shivered in fear.
"There's no way we are going to crossdress!" Gold retaliated in anger.
"It's my rule Gold!" Blue pouted. "I made up the game!"
"At least make the punishment less demeaning..." Crystal mumbled softly.
"Hmph! That takes away the fun of competition!" The brunette crossed her arms across her chest.
Green once again interrupted her. "How are you sure that we're all going to play your stupid game?"
Blue glared at him menacingly, hoping to intimidate him. But, as she would suspect, he glared back at her, his emerald green eyes intimidating her first. She looked away quickly.
"W-Well Green, if I'm correct, most of the Dex Holders are all scared of me, right?"
He stayed silent.
"So mostly, they would follow my orders! And if they don't, then they'll be in a world of pain."
He couldn't find any words to say to the evil Blue.
"...Annoying woman." He managed to mutter under his breath.
Ruby suddenly brought up a question. "Blue, how are the teams going to be picked?"
"Randomly." Blue replied quickly. "It's more fun that way."
The Dex Holders sighed. But for most of them, at least they might be with someone they like or someone that they can tolerate for more than a day. They crossed their fingers, hoping for the best.
"Hm." Blue heard a sound from the usually silent Green. "At least I have a better chance of not being with you."
Blue immediately grew discouraged. Suddenly, a smirk landed upon her face. "Ah Greenie, you know you want me~!" She ran towards Green, and wrapped her arms around him. The Gym Leader pecked her on the forehead with his fingers, and she let go, grimacing in pain. "Owwie..."
"Then, when may we meet up at Eterna Forest?" Platinum raised up the question.
"Hm..." The brunette was deep in thought. "I'll think of a date. For now, you should check your Pokegear and check any of my calls."
The Dex Holders nodded in agreement.
"Then, we'll all keep in touch, kay?"

Pallet Town; 9:38 PM
Blue was quite excited for her devious little game that she proposed out of the blue. Of course, she had to plan out the course of the battlefield first. That was her main priority. Impatience took control of her, and she was desperate for a pen and a few pieces of paper. Unfortunately though, her parents were away on a business trip, and as such, she didn't have enough of a quick wit to realize that she didn't have any paper or a writing utensil. Or maybe, she did, she was just too lazy to walk back to her home. It wasn't until she realized that was in Pallet Town that she thought up of a solution.
Green's house.
She was certain that he was at the Gym in Viridian City, since he said that he had a longer post. Also, since Green was a researcher and all, he was bound to have some paper. When it came to organization and preparedness, Green was always ready.
Right, time to execute the plan. Her mission: break through Green's door.
Blue quickly took out a small hook, most likely obtained by the remains of a door hanger, from her leather bag, and positioned it close to the door. This door was your typical door, so they were easy to bypass. But to her surprise, once she broke through the lock, there was a small device hanged onto the door. A password protected one.
Agh, dang it!
Blue tried to type in as many combinations as she could for the password, yet it was impossible, since Green never told her. That jerk, now how can I get in his house? She thought to herself.
Her best decision was to break open the door completely. Now, that may ruin the door completely, but, she knew Green, and he couldn't care less. He could always buy a new one.
She stretched her legs, getting ready for her stunt, when she felt a hand tap her shoulder.
"Don't break my door." A calm voice muttered.
Completely surprised, she turned around, recognizing those emerald eyes. "...Green?"
"What are you doing?"
"U-Uhm..." Blue said nervously. "I thought you were at the Gym!"
"My post was over. Now, move. I need to type the password."
As Blue closed her eyes and moved away, she was somewhat curious. "Why did you put a password on your lock?"
"So you can't sneak into my house."
As suspected. But Blue wanted to do something really bad, so she had to act all innocent, to try to get on Green's good side.
"You aren't going to let me in?" She pouted.
"No."
"But, I am in need of paper~" She pretended to cry loudly.
"...Hm." He walked into his house, and kept the door open. Blue pondered on what he was doing, but she caught on quickly.
"Thanks Green." She whispered softly.
~.~.~.~
A bit of Oldrival, am I right? ^.^
Note, I'm not really sure where Green's house is. So I decided, screw it, it's in Pallet Town. But if you know where he lives in the manga, then feel free to tell me. It's not that big of a deal.
Oldrival is one of my favorite shippings in the entire world! I'm sorry, but I feel like I needed to include something with Blue preparing for the competition that was coming. But, I promise that I'll include more shippings as the story progresses, but only if it's liked.
Some of the shippings that I'm definitely going to include are: Special, Mangaquest, Frantic, and Commoner. I'll think about whether I will add more shippings.
And also, I'm also thinking about adding Lyra, or otherwise known as Soul, to the story. Then, I could include some Soulsilver stuff, am I right? That would be interesting.
On another note, how exactly does a game of Capture the Flag turn into a survival game? That's for you to find out later on.
Please read and review! I hope to receive some feedback.
