Guess what ANOTHER STORY! Yeah...I'm never getting Legend of the Clouds done, but hey, at least I can say I've written a Pokémon fanfiction. So my sister and I thought about writing a crossover of all the Pokémon games. So we did. Find beckels89 on deviantART to read it there. I don't own the franchise and never will, but let's get started anyway!

Red stood gazing into white oblivion. The snow had been falling for quite a while but had recently ceased. Red knew this wasn't going to last, but he relished the times when he could see the sky anyway. Mount Silver was indescribably peaceful, and normally Red had it to himself.

Usually around this time of day he was training his Pokémon, starting with Venasaur and ending with Snorlax. This was routine; it was a rare day when he opted to continue staring into the nothingness, but he simply didn't feel like it right now.

"Hi, Red!" a giddy voice called form right behind him. He spun around and nearly slipped off the edge of the mountain. This would not have been a pretty happening, as Mount Silver was one of the tallest mountains in the world. "Sorry about that. I didn't know you couldn't hear me," the girl added.

It was Leaf. Leaf was admittedly small for her age, but she wasn't incredibly old really. She was turning fourteen in three weeks, an event that Red would probably end up forgetting. "H-hi, Leaf," he greeted her. "How are you?"

"Just fine," she replied, pacing about the snowy mountaintop. "What a time I had getting here, though. Charizard didn't want to fly in the snow, so we had to wait until it stopped. And then I dropped my hat, so we had to fly all the way back down and get it because someone could steal it, right?" She looked back at Red as though actually expecting a response.

"I see." Red wasn't often in the mood for conversation, which could only be a side effect of living alone on a mountain, and right now he really wanted to bask in the uncommon sunlight that currently blessed Mount Silver.

"And also we took forever getting up here, because there was a lot of wind," Leaf continued. "Also there was this lady at the park who gave me birdseed to feed some of the Pidgeys, and one of them let me pet it. I really think it liked me!"

"Great," Red sighed.

"Because like it kept nuzzling its beak in my hair when I bent down to feed it. So I picked it up and it fell asleep in my arms!" Leaf gushed. "I named it Flappers. He was so cute, but then I saw a lost Pidgey poster with a Pidgey that looked just like him! I knew it was him because he had a few feathers missing on his wing. So I gave him back to the guy who owned him and he said thank you and gave me candy. Oh and guess what his name really was?"

"I don't know, Bob," Red guessed, clearly not enthused.

"It was actually Flappers!" Leaf told him, probably not having listened to his guess. "I just know Pokémon so well, don't I?" She twirled with a strand of her hair and added, "You know what would be so fun?"

"What's that?" Red asked, almost asleep at this point.

"If they had like a tournament of lots of Pokémon battles," Leaf answered with a wide smile.

"They already do that," Red reminded her. Leaf shook her head.

"No, I mean like if they did it across all the regions," she clarified. "I think that would be so fun, don't you?"

Red shrugged. "I guess so," he replied, "but it would take a long time to set up."

"I think my Cubone would do real great in a tournament," Leaf told him. "I train him every day, and we're such good friends. What about you, Red? Are you and your Pokémon good friends?"

Red stared at her and shrugged again. "Well, it's always good to have a nice healthy friendship with all of your Pokémon," Leaf continued. "That way they work better with you. That's good for me, anyway, because my Cubone and I-it's like we were meant to meet each other. We're just the best friends anyone could ever want.

"You know what, Red? I was wondering if you wanted to come back down off the mountain with me. I think it would be fun, don't you? I know you haven't been down in a while, so I figure you would want to come along to see the world again. What do you say?" she asked.

Red considered her offer. Looking off the edge of Mount Silver he saw nothing but the snow. But he knew it must be nice weather down the other side of the mountain. It was tempting; he had wanted something different for once, and he sure had no qualms about spending more time with Leaf. If he went, it might actually be interesting.

"Sure, I suppose," he replied, walking towards her. She smiled.

"Great. We can take my Charizard back down," she decided. "Pity we have to leave, though. I'd love to have made a few snow angels before we left. I make the best snow angels, my friends say."

Red almost had to laugh at that.

:::::

At the base of the mountain, Leaf hopped off the back of her Charizard and landed in a crouch. "Well, here we are," she announced. "I forget how long you've been up there."

"It hasn't changed a lot since I was last here," Red told her, walking down the street with his hands in his pockets as Leaf returned her Charizard.

"Hasn't it?" Leaf giggled. "You must have a great memory then. Wait, Red…look at that table over there."

Red followed her gaze. She was looking at a brown oak desk with a stack of green papers on it. "I wonder what that is," Leaf said, going over to investigate. Red resigned to follow her. Upon closer inspection, the papers turned out to be flyers, one of which Leaf read aloud, excitement growing in her voice:

"'Special event! Don't miss it! Tournament in Hoenn on the third. Trainers from all regions welcome, bring your strongest Pokémon. Be there!' Do you hear that, Red? They're having a tournament across regions just like I wished! It'll be so great! Don't you want to come with me?"

Red stared at her. In all honesty, he wasn't sure. He didn't like the idea off traveling all the way to Hoenn just for a silly tournament, but Leaf really seemed to. She was also looking at him with wide, pleading eyes, which significantly crushed his ability to refuse. "Yeah, I'd love to," he answered, sighing afterwards. "I guess we should go."

"Oh thanks, Red, I'm so excited!" Leaf cried, hugging him. "I'll have so much fun with you there! Ooh, why don't we take a boat? I've wanted to sail my whole entire life!"

Red scratched the back of his head. "I guess that'll be okay," he agreed. "But where can we find a port from here?"

"Oh, I think there's one real close by. Follow me!" Leaf requested. Red dashed after her until they reached a small house. Inside an elderly man sat in a chair shuffling cards.

"Oh, a couple of customers?" he asked. "Where're you headed?"

"To Hoenn!" Leaf answered. "We're going to participate in that tournament!"

"The tournament?" the man repeated, cutting out two tickets that read "Admit One-Hoenn Region." "Funny. I've had quite a few people buy tickets there, but that was a long time ago. I'd hope I can get a spot in the battles if I were you."

"Oh, we'll be okay," Leaf laughed. "We've got the best Pokémon there are. Oh, and…" She pulled two roses from her pocket and handed them to the man. "Thank you for the tickets."

"You're very kind…" the man mumbled in surprise as the pair boarded the boat through the other door.
