P.S. Da Kanto trio are all eighteen, peeps. Yellow's sixteen. But who cares? Red's still typical hero type, Yellow's still shy and gentle, Green's still in his emotionless galore, and Blue still acts giddy and childish when it comes to scheming and plotting. As for the others…calculate yourselves! Don't be lazy!

Friend: Hypocrite much, Tealie?

Me: Shuddup.

P.S.S I hope you know that I'm referring rival-boy as Green and ex-thief-plot-'n'-scheme-girl as Blue… I'll just die if I switch to the English version… DIE!!!


Chapter I – The Cheshire Cat Plots & Attacks!

RRRRING! RRRRING! RRRRING!

Blue groaned. Morning again. She clutched the pillow and buried her head under it, gripping in a death grip as she unsuccessfully tried to cancel the rings from her hearing range. And here they say those who are deaf are poor. She thought twice – maybe they shake deaf people till they wake. Or pour water over their heads? Okay, she decided she was way luckier than the deaf. Well, shit, now she's taking all this for granted, and only after living with her parents in Sevii for two years. She had to admit – this life of hers was fantastic now. She just had to keep in mind not to take anything for granted.

She reached out from under her blue covers. If she was lucky − just maybe − she would hit that stupidly tempting white button with the word "snooze" − and that extra word "snore," which she thought was quite ironic since it came from Gold on her last birthday − imprinted on it. The jackpot will be knocking the alarm of the bedside table thus smashing it to smithereens and ultimately stopping that damn ringing…and probably an excuse for Gold to buy another one of those alarm clocks. No, she was pretty sure that he had a stock of those same white and blue alarm clocks in his house somewhere. The stupid boy bought that same clock for her sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth birthday. What did he buy for her fifteenth? Oh yeah, a little rusty Poke Ball which, miraculously enough, was still working. That gambler boy either was too lazy to buy something, or had not enough money. Stupid idiot.

She stared at the thing in the small badly wrapped up uncovered box − which she noted was one of those that held candies at the store somewhere in Johto. She slid her azure eyes to meet those of Gold's, who was grinning like a mad idiot and showing all his pearly whites.

"…Errr…why did you get me a rusty old PokeBall?"

He made teary eyes. "Don't all the adults say that it's the thoughts that count?"

'Here's a thought – stop fucking give me weird, cheap, old gifts wrapped in candy boxes and newspaper…'

She never said that out loud, of course. Though, it was very tempting to say it right in his face.

She wondered sometimes why she thought Crys and Gold looked cute with each other. The Johto catcher expert was so prim and proper, unlike that stupid boy.

A voice made her stiffen. But her hand was still reaching for the stupid still-ringing clock.

"Dear, it's time to wake up! …And don't even think of smashing the clock again! You know Gold wouldn't like that!" She vaguely heard and recognized the voice as her mother's.

'Wouldn't like that', my ass.

When she was about to slam her finger to the snooze button, her mother's voice rang again…

"I thought you said you're meeting your friends!"

…and she froze. A thought suddenly clashed into her mind. Realization shone in intelligent blue eyes as her drowsy state quickly turned alert. Yes, she did arranged a meet-up with her friends. She remembered from yesterday when she told Green to inform Red and Yellow that they would be meeting up.

"For what reason?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I need a reason to meet up when my pals? Do you always do things for a reason? Tch, that's why you're so predictable, Oak."

"OH SHIT!!!"

With one swift toss, a few clumsy kicks and punches, she was running straight to the bathroom, leaving her fluffy white pillow and blue covers lying on the floor in a messy heap.

"No swearing in the house!" Another voice yelled, and she absentmindedly noted it was her father from downstairs.

She wanted to ignore the voice, but yelled out anyway, "Sorry!"

She grabbed the toothbrush and messily squeezes the toothpaste to meet the brush's end. Realizing that her alarm clock was left on, she chucked the small blue-plastic brush in her mouth and held it there between her teeth. She slammed on the "off" button on the top of the clock, finally relived that the deafening and incessant rings were halted. She then realized she had set the alarm wrong and should've woken nearly forty minutes ago.

Well, damn.

Spitting out the toothpaste and rinsing her mouth by the sink, she moved on to brush her brown locks and get out of her teddy-beared blue pajamas in a near-blur, rushing across the room like a maniac. Straightening out her red mini-skirt, she frantically stashed items in her yellow sling bag. Hanging in over her shoulder, she laid her hand on the cold metal doorknob and yanked it open, snatching a piece of bread from the dining table and yelling a "Good morning" as she made her mad dash towards the door.

"I'll be back by dinner!" Blue called out, slipping her sock-clad feet in her shoes.

"All right, dear!" She heard her mother call out while her father muttered a "goodbye" as she slammed the door shut.

Tossing her Poke Ball, her Abra came out in bright flash. Quickly telling the Psychic Pokemon to Teleport her to Pallet Town, she continued to chew on the bread. Abra nodded, and before she could blink, she was right in front of the Oak Pokemon Lab, finding herself standing among her friends. She grinned sheepishly.

"Uh-heh, sorry, I'm late!"

Yellow smiled back. "It's all right."

Red smiled, though Blue couldn't help but think he was actually smirking. "At least you turned up this time and didn't forget!" He said jokingly.

'Actually, I forgot today too…' She wasn't going to say that of course. She could very well handle the task of not embarrassing herself. So, she didn't trust her voice and simply grinned with a sweat drop.

"So, why did you call us out today?" Red asked, giving her a questioning gaze.

"No reason. I just thought that with our busy schedules, we hardly ever meet up. So I just thought that we might as well hang out sometime." Blue replied, faking a sad smile.

Green raised a brow. He looked back at his best friend and the healer, realizing that they were looking apologetic. Why were his friends so gullible and naïve? There it is…Blue's teary eyes…her chibi face…and her cute façade… Oh, yeah − everyone knows Blue was a big liar and a total faker, but Yellow and Red just had to be gullible… Gullible and naïve were the nice way of saying it. The bad of saying it was that they were plain dumb.

"Oh, but there is this place I want to show you guys!" Green directed his attention back to his fellow brunette. He narrowed his eyes. There it is…her cheery voice…which practically announced to the world she was coming up with a scheme with definitely would not work…

"And where's that?" He pretended to sound nonchalant, failing miserably.

Blue grinned and looked at her Abra. "Abra, would you please?" She asked with wink. In a flash, they disappeared from Pallet Town, reappearing in a somewhat dense forest. A very dense one.

Red and Yellow looked around with shocked expressions. Green glanced around for a moment, before looking back at Blue to find a maniacal grin on her face. He knew right then that she was trying hard to not burst out laughing, for the sake of her freedom since if she were to do so, she was offering Green a reason to throw her into the Pallet Mental Hospital.

"Uh, where are we? …Viridian Forest?" Red snapped the silence in half with a curious tone.

"I…don't think so… Viridian doesn't have a big moss rock like that one." Yellow pointed at a huge rock. Green glanced at it, noticing glowing green moss. As far as he knew, it was the only light source other than the small amount of light seeping through the trees from above. It was almost like a jungle, just not as hot. In fact, it was rather humid. The only indication it was a forest, not a jungle. He glanced around, noticing Pokemon that weren't normally in Kanto's wilderness.

Then, he realized where they were.

"Ta-DA!" The still manically grinning Blue threw her arm over her head, as if announcing the greatest discovery in all of Pokemon history. He briefly wondered if there was a chance the Mental Hospital would accept her if she continued to act like this till they get back. "We're in-"

"Eterna Forest?" Green interrupted.

"What?! But…we're in Sinnoh…?! Is Abra actually capable of teleporting FOUR of us from Kanto to Sinnoh?"

Yellow tried not to scream at the revelation that she was ever-so-far from her beloved Kanto and Viridian Forest. She was too shock to scream, and her voice came out as a barely audible squeak.

Blue frowned at Green, completely ignoring stereotypical hero-boy and the Viridian chosen one. "That was MY line!"

He shrugged. "You were taking too long with your announcement of the greatest discovery ever made in Pokemon history."

"Why, you-"

"Why did you teleport us to Eterna Forest?" Red nearly yelled. He was quite desperate to stop his best friends from fighting. The "rival" title goes to Red, but the "nemesis" title obviously went to Blue. Green is sometimes too cocky for his own good. And he himself knew very well that Green was going to receive a sore eye from Blue if he didn't stop them, Martial Artist or not. Is it one of your scammy scams? He mentally added. He was at least smart enough not to say that out loud. He knew he would be tossed out of the Living-beings' world if he said that to her.

Yellow sweat dropped, but quickly nodded at Blue's questioning gaze. Girl or not, she'll get in trouble with the brunette if she did the wrong thing. She made a mental note to stop Sapphire from teaching Blue how to treat men like "dogs-on-leash." Weren't a violent fourteen-year-old battle-loving brunette, a rough fifteen-year-old capture expert navette and a spoiled rich fourteen-year-old cobaltette enough? She didn't need her schemer-gal-pal to become a second Sapphire; she had witnessed enough violence between Ruby and Sapphire, and was less-than-willing for another round of violence between Green and Blue.

Red and Yellow sweat dropped again when their brunette stared on a more intense level. It was obvious she knew that they didn't want her punching Green or for Green to break a few limbs of hers. Noticing Green's quietness, they peered behind the doubtful girl and the first thing they noticed was Green staring off in a distance.

Red glanced at Yellow. Yellow glanced at Red. He nodded. She nodded. Then, they ran towards him in half-fake curiousness. All they knew was that they had to get away from Blue's unspoken doubtful questions.

"What are you doing?" Red questioned. Green didn't reply nor react, and just stared at something in front of them. Red and Yellow followed his gaze, finally laying eyes on a old, creaky and apparently abandoned manor.

Yellow blinked, "What is that?"

"The Old Chateau!" Red and Yellow turned to find Blue behind them, holding a torch light below her chin. They started. Green glanced at her, raising his brow in question. She grinned at the Pallet and Viridian trainers, completely ignoring the tempting urge to tell Green he was a boring dolt. Red and Yellow were definitely her favorites to scare. "It's the place I wanted to show you guys!"

"E-eh?" Red blinked, uncertainty clear in his eyes. He never liked those grins – he had always agreed with Green about the way she grins like the Cheshire Cat in mischief, glint and all included.

"And I heard there're ghost sightings!" Blue elaborated.

"G-G-Ghosts…?" Yellow stammered.

Ahh, yes, they were definitely her favorites to scare, cute little Yellow…

She punched the air. "Yeah, so let's go exploooore!!"

Red and Yellow sweat dropped at her enthusiasm. Green narrowed his eyes at her, which she also pointedly ignored. She grabbed him by the arm instead, and marched through the white gates. She didn't need to take Red and Yellow, knowing that if she just entered they would come along without question. It was part of the unwritten and unspoken "we're-best-friends" rules.

"This better be good, Blue…" Red muttered to her from behind as they followed the brunette and brunet.

"…Is this really a good idea…?" She heard Yellow mumbling in uncertainty from behind, but ignored the healer.

"You're up to something, aren't you?" Green said quietly, and jerked his arm away from the brunette, shoving his hands in his pockets as he followed her. Blue had always called his habit "Da Pose."

She smirked and whispered quietly, careful to not let her raven-haired and blonde friends overhear. Apparently, from the way Green whispered, she knew that he is very well aware that she would pound him if he said that out loud. "Well, of cooourse. Whaddya think we came here for, Green Oak?" There it is again…that Cheshire Cat grin completed with the glint and all…

"Hn. I knew it, you Cheshire Cat."


It's better than the old version – I know you like this better! Er, I did anyway…
