Chapter 1
"Roserade, use Stun Spore!" Pearl commanded. The blond had been battling with Silver ever since the Jhoto Crew had landed on Orre land. Silver, who had taken out three of Pearl's Pokemon, was in the lead. Pearl, however, had only defeated one.
"Smeargle, dodge it and use Shadow Ball!" Silver said calmly. Smearlge easily dodged the barrage of yellows spores and countered by raising its painted tail. A dark ball shot from the tip of the tail and charged towards Roserade.
"Giga Drain!" Pearl shouted. Roserade clapped its two bouquets together and four glowing green vines appeared. The vines overpowered Smeargle's Shadow Ball and quickly devoured Smearlge as well. There was a cry before Smeargle fainted.
"Fine. Houndoom, let's go." Silver said, tossing a Pokeball. He then withdrew his previous Pokemon. Pearl frowned and looked into the sky for a split second.
"Look, that must be Gateon Port!" Ruby said, pointing to a collection of lights on the ground. With a nod, Wally steered his Flygon towards the ground. As soon as the Hoenn crowd landed, they heard the Kanto Crew land behind them.
"Hey, you!" Blue shouted. The cool Orre wind blew threw her brown hair, causing it to soar behind her. The Hoenn Crew turned around.
"Forget it, let's go." Green commanded. Red and Blue looked at him incredulously, as did Ruby, Sapphire, and Wally.
"What?! Are you out of your mind?!" Red roared while reaching to grab a Pokeball. Green's Charizard gave Red an amused glanced and Red slowed down. Green, who was giving Red the same look as his starter, turned to glance at Ruby.
"Come on, our Pokemon are tired, let's find somewhere to rest and we can start this in the morning." Green said in a calm but stern voice. Red and Blue looked at each other in disbelief.
"No way, if we wait until tomorrow, they'll probably be gone!" Blue shouted. Green glanced at her, but then Red turned to him.
"Hey, why don't you guys have a battle, the winner's idea wins." Wally suggested innocently. Ruby and Sapphire fought not to laugh.
"Hey, that's a good idea!" Red said. Blue looked skeptic at first, but then gave Green a challenging look.
"How stupid are you morons?! If we battle each other, they get away and our already tired Pokemon will be wasting time and energy taking each other out!" Green barked. Red and Blue flinched at his authoritative tone. Green then turned to glare at Wally.
"Hey, you had a good idea. If you guys really wanna battle, for no good reason, us tomorrow then we'll stay. But I personally think it's waste of time." Ruby said. Green looked at him and then turned around.
"I don't care what you guys do, I'm out of here." Green said. Red and Blue looked at each other and then at Hoenn before following Green. There was a still silence around the Birch's team before Ruby and Sapphire burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Wally asked. Sapphire wiped a tear from her eye.
"Oh man Wally, that was great. They were actually about to battle each other!" Sapphire cried. Wally cracked a smile before looking around.
"So where are we going to stay for the night?" He asked. Ruby's smile faded as he looked around the Gateon Port area.
"I dunno..." Ruby said.
"Rampardos, let's go!" Pearl shouted. The ancient Pokemon roared in pleasure before glaring at its opponent.
"Houndoom-"
"Finish it off with Earthquake!" Pearl commanded. The ground shook fiercely before Houndoom fell. After returning Houndoom, Silver reared his arm to release another Pokemon before Gold grabbed it.
"Silver, the Pokemon are tired." Gold told his redheaded partner. Silver wrestled his wrist from Gold's grasp.
"From what? This guy's toast anyway, le-"
"Did you learn anything from last year?" Crystal asked stepping in. Silver glared at the two, but put away his Pokeball. Pearl looked at his teammates and then withdrew his Rampardos. As Crystal and Silver walked off, Gold ran back up to the Sinnoh team.
"Man, you guys are lucky we held Silver back." Gold said with a grin. Pearl grinned back.
"I do my best work under pressure." Pearl stated.
"He's right actually. Pearl probably would have thought of some plan to win. But regardless, you might want to go catch up to your team." Dawn said in a sincerely polite voice. Gold looked at her in a startled fashion before running towards his team.
"So where are we gonna chillax at?" Pearl asked, seemingly undeterred by his loss. Diamond smirked.
"We're pretty close to Agate Village, so let's head there. Torterra, come out!" He said as he threw a Pokeball into the air. Torterra groaned loudly before allowing Diamond, Pearl, and Dawn onto his back. With another groan, it was off.
"So where are we gonna go?" Crystal asked her two friends. Silver shrugged, obviously upset about having to cancel his match.
"Well, Agate Village is pretty close but that's probably where those guys are going..." Gold said, taking out a map.
"Well then let's go to Agate." Silver said, itching for a rematch. Gold ignored him.
"Hey look at this, Realgam Tower. It's a Colosseum, hotel, and game corner all in one. And it's not much farther away than Agate." Gold said. Crystal looked at the map.
"Still too far to walk though." She said. With a smile, Cold summoned his Steelix. After climbing on himself, he coaxed his friends to do the same.
"Is this always how you get around?!" Crystal asked, listing all of the dangers and possible accidents that could occur riding on a Steelix.
"No, I use Mantine for short distances, but don't worry, Steelix is plenty safe, isn't that right boy?" Gold replied. Steelix roared in agreement. Reluctantly, Cyrstal climbed onto Steelix, followed by Silver. Gold pointed out the direction to Steelix, who lurched forward.
When Wally's Flygon finally landed in Agate Village, the Hoenn group met up with Rowan's team. There was a standoff between the two.
"Can we do this tomorrow, I'm tired and all dirty, it's really kinda gross." Ruby complained. Sapphire rolled her eyes while the Sinnoh group became slightly disturbed by Ruby's feministic complaint.
"Um, sure..." Dawn said. With that, the two groups went inside.
"Wow, I'm not sure I'd know what to do either." Pearl said after hearing Wally tell the story of how Ruby and Sapphire joined Aqua and Magma (respectively) and tried to persuade him to choose a side.
"I would have gone with Magma. I mean let's face it, it's not like there is a bunch of water around Sinnoh anyway." Diamond said. Dawn nodded.
"I suppose." She said.
"Well, we should probably get some shut-eye. Night." Ruby said to his new friends. The Sinnoh group waved and made their way to their own room while Sapphire and Wally followed Ruby.
"They don't seem so bad." Wally said.
"Yeah." Sapphire answered...
