He was the Seer
And she was the Ghost
That was how they were known
His name was Amber
And her's was Amethyst
Those were their real names.
He carried a coin
Gold on one side, silver on the other
She wore a cloak
As purple as her namesake
Those were their possessions
His eye were purple
And her's were orange
His hair was red
And her's was black
They both stood 5'9
That was what they looked like
He wore an orange shirt, and pants
Flecked with purple stars
She wore a purple robe
Covered in orange moons
Those were their clothes
He saw the possibilities
Reflected in his coin
He would flip it and whichever faced up
Would be the future
That's why they called him the Seer
She could become unseen
Could move through solid objects
Could float around
All with a twirl of her cloak
That's why they called her the Ghost
He had a Xatu
And an Absol
She had a Gengar
And Duscolps
Those were their Pokemon
She lived in Lavender
And he in Saffron
There was secret cave in the road between
One day they ran in from the rain
And that was how they met.
They became friends
And so did their parents
Until one day a Rocket hit a mountain
Only they got away
And with nowhere else to turn
That's how they became family
They were inseparable
They were best friends
Through crisis and calm
Anyone could see
They were meant to be
Everyone except them
Their life was good
They had what they wanted
Of course, all good things
Must come to an end
Even when that day came
They always stuck together
Their loyalty never wavered
Ladies and gentlemen
They were Amber and Amethyst
The Seer and the Ghost
Together until the end
And this is their story.
Amber's POV
I stepped off the boat, and took deep breath of Hoenn air. I'm Amber, of the Traveling Mystics. Right behind me, is my best friend, and partner Amethyst. And we were starting our tour of the Hoenn Region.
"Wow." Amethyst remarked. "For the region's center of trade, this is kinda' sparse."
"Yeah it is." I agreed. Unlike the densely populated cities of the Kanto and Johto regions, Lilycove had very few buildings for a city of it's size. I also noticed that instead of concrete or solid stone roads, Lilycove had paths of pebbles, leading from door to door. Amethyst was examining a tourist map.
"It says here that Lilycove is know all over the region for it's department store, art museum, and it's Master Level contest hall." There was an excited gleam in her eye as she looked up at me. "Where do you wanna' go first?"
"The hotel." I answered. "We need to check in. And anyway all those things cost money, which is exactly why we're here." We were in...financial trouble. After a very unfortunate accident in Celadon City, all of our money had gone toward repairing the department store. Then our manager had quit on us, taking his Spiritomb with him. That had robbed us of our best act.
"Fine." Amethyst said, looking disappointed. I can't stand to see her sad.
"Cheer up, Ame." I said reassuringly. "We need to do our grocery shopping, so we can visit the department store once we've set up."
"Awesome!" Amethyst cheered up immediately. "Let's check in!" In her excitement, she floated off. I chuckled, picked up our bags and walked after her. No one really know where Ame got her ghost-like powers, the only thing I know about it, is that she was born at the top floor of the Pokemon Tower. After checking in and unpacking, Ame, who hadn't given up said.
"I asked the man at the desk, and the Art Museum is only 100 to get in." I sighed.
"Alright, alright. If we have enough left over from shopping, we'll go." I said resignedly.
"Great, thank you!" Ame exclaimed, and she hugged me excitedly. I felt something stir in my heart as we made contact, but I ignored it.
"But first," I continued as we broke apart, "We need to put up posters for our show tomorrow night."
"No problem!" Ame released her Gengar, and I my Xatu. Retrieving the stacks of posters from my suitcase, headed out of our room and down the stairs. Or at least me and Xatu did. Amethyst and her Gengar simply dived through the floor. I chuckled as I heard a surprised yelp from the desk clerk.
As always we split up. Amethyst, and Gengar floated around town, putting up posters on street lights, trees fences, and other such things. Me and Xatu went to the Pokemon center, art museum, contest call, and department store, to ask if I could put up posters on their property. Surprisingly, no one objected. 'Such friendly people.' I thought. With Xatu's Psychic, the job was done in no time. Just then, Ame floated up to me.
"Ok I'm done, you ready?" She asked excitedly.
"Yeah, we are." I answered.
"Great. To the department store!" Amethyst floated off enthusiasticly. I turned around to recall Xatu, but spotted some figures in white robes disappearing into a hole under a large rock, which slid closed behind them. 'Hmm, odd.' I thought, but I put it out of my mind, and ran to catch up with Ame.
Amethyst's POV
"Come on!" I called excitedly as we hurried into the department store. I looked back to see Amber preoccupied by something, but I didn't press on the subject. He's already got a lot on his mind at the moment anyway, "So what floors do what floors should we go to." we examined the layout of the store, and decided we needed to go to the second floor mostly, maybe look around the third for an inexpensive prop.
As were about to get into the elevator, the clerk asked us, "Would you like to draw a Pokemon lotto ticket?" we paused, unsure how to answer, until she added, "You get one free draw every day." well, who could possibly say no to that? We each drew our tickets, then she looked at our trainer IDs, a smile came across her face, "Congratulations, Amber. The last two digits matched, so you get fourth prize." with that she pulled out PP up. I looked and nearly laughed a bit at the shock on Amber's face, then again, a PP up is a pretty valuable item. I didn't win anything, but that was okay. Besides, we still had to stock up for tomorrow's show. So we got into the elevator...
Later on, we came out with our things. Although we didn't have quite enough for the museum, not even after we sold the PP up. Ah well, I guess we'll have to wait until our finance is a bit better..Although I see every now and again these strange people in white robes..Perhaps that's just normal here? No one else seems to mind, but then again, I don't think they see them. No time was available to ask questions, though. Since of course there was a ton of planning to do as we went back to discuss our next show.
After awhile of planning back in the hotel room, I sat there with a bored look on my face. Leaning on the table in front of me with two fingers on my chin, "Well, that puts together our performance." Amber nodded, "Now how should we pass the time?" Now that was a real problem in this hotel. The owner hogged the one television all day, and whenever we tried to watch it with him, he'd make us move. Although that's not very fair..What grown man watches soap operas anyway?!
We were about to loose against boredom, when suddenly something clicked in my mind, "There's no charge just to spectate the contest!" I grinned wide. "Contest it is." he agreed, as I dove once again through the floor.
The clerk screamed again as I came in through the roof, "MA'AM! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!" Truth is, I'm not even sure. Maybe I'm under a ghost's curse or something. I apologized as soon as Amber came down, "Ready?" I nodded, and with that we headed to the contest hall.
We reached the large Master Rank contest as Amber was looking at a brochure, "It appears that trainers can only enter the master rank contest once you complete the others, starting with the beginners contest in Verdanturf Town." I frowned a bit, "Where do you keep getting these brochures?" he pointed to a desk with brochures on the Pokemon contests, and I shrugged, as we entered the spectator area.
Before we took our seats (Actually, we just stood there. They don't keep chairs around since they aren't sure how many people will be there) we were allowed to take a look at each of the contestants Pokemon, then the contest began.
Hi folks, Hog s Head here. Me and UlixesEmotion hope you've enjoyed you're reading. We, would really appreciate a couple of reviews. So be honest please, and give us your opinion. But, I realize that Amber and Amethyst aren't the most original names, I am only trying to follow the tradition of gemstone names. Also if you want to see appearances from the some of the other Dex Holders, please let us know. ALSO, IMPORTANT MESSAGE. Neither of us has actuly read the manga, we do a fair amount of stuff about the Dex Holders, and storylines thanks to a pokemon fansite. Remember, the more reviews we get, the higher the chance of us writing more chapters. Ta-ta!
