Summary: Lance bumps into Silver, literally! Which leads him to find out Silver's secret…that he is really a girl! Silver wants to make sure Lance won't tell anyone and decides to travel with Lance. What will happen to these two now? Genderbend + Mastershipping

Note: Well, I wanted to try something different about a BL pairing and I've been meaning to do something genderbending...I haven't seen a genderbend for this pairing, so I decided to write one. Please review!

Lance was minding his own business as he was taking a break from being the Pokemon Champion. Ever since the whole Team Rocket business, Lance just wanted some type of relaxation, though he knew he would never find any peace wherever he went. Lance sighed and went over to the small ponds near the back of the city.

He looked into them and saw his own reflection, which was soon disrupted by a Poliwag that seemed to enjoy human company. Lance smiled at it and reached out his hand to pet it. The Poliwag accepted his hand and enjoyed his touch. Eventually, it wanted to back underwater and swim with the other Pokemon in the pond.

Lance stood up, smiling at such a peaceful moment and began to walk towards the route to Goldenrod. Not paying attention to where he was going, he bumped into someone with red hair. The other person fell onto the floor, panting furiously as if he were having trouble breathing.

"I'm sorry…Silver?" Lance said as he looked to see the person he bumped into was none other then Silver, the boy who was slowly learning to love his Pokemon. Lance noticed that the red haired boy seemed to a bit different. Why was he breathing so hard? And why was he so hot when Lance touched him?
"Don't touch me," Silver growled as he tried to stand. He was weak from the fever he had gotten a few days ago. At first he brushed it off as nothing, but as it slowly got worse he knew he would have to go see a doctor.

"Are you ok?" Lance asked, concerned for the young boy. He wanted to help him, even if Silver didn't want his help.

"Of course I'm ok!" Silver said as he slowly got up. He was feeling a bit dizzy, but he wasn't going to accept help from this guy.

"It doesn't seem like it…" Lance muttered as Silver began to wobble away from him. "You sure you're ok?"

"Yes!" Silver shouted at Lance. Now he was seeing two of him. This was not looking good for Silver.

"Just…go…away…" Silver said weakly as he began to fall forward. Lance caught him before he could hit the floor. Silver had fainted from his fever. He put his head to Silver's. It burned at the slightest touch! Lance picked him up and carried him bridal style to the nearest Pokemon Center, which luckily for him was in walking distance.

"Excuse me!" Lance said when he entered the center. "Would you mind looking after my friend? He's really sick."

"Of course, bring him back here," The Nurse Joy said motioning for Lance to follow him. They passed by Pokemon that were currently in need of care, but would recover with Nurse Joy's help.

"Set him down here," She said when she opened a door to reveal a room that looked like it was from a regular hospital. Lance gently set Silver on the bed, making sure not to awaken the boy.

"You can wait outside," Nurse Joy told Lance and he left as a Chansey entered. Why did he worry so much about Silver? Maybe he had a soft spot for this boy since he seemed to be troubled by his past if he didn't love his Pokemon. Lance was really never going to have a day to relax, was he?

Though, he couldn't help but wonder at how Silver managed to get so sick. Didn't he know he was feeling ill? Well, as long as Silver was going to be fine it didn't really matter…

"Sir?" Nurse Joy came out from behind the double doors that led to the back rooms.

"Is he going to be ok?" Lance asked. He was getting to worked up about this…and it was only a fever!

"Yes, you're friend is going to be just fine. She just has a fever, which should go down in a few days. We also gave her medicine to," Nurse Joy told Lance.

"That's a relief…" He said but stopped as he noticed Nurse Joy say Silver was a 'she'.

"What do you mean by she? Silver is a boy," He told her. Nurse Joy looked at Lance confused.

"I assure you, you're friend in there is a female," She said. "I did have to take off her shirt to check her heart beat."

Lance was speechless. All this time, he thought Silver was a boy. He acted like one, sounded like one, and even looked like one! How could Silver be a girl? Did anyone else know? Or was he the only one who found out Silver's secret?
