Not much to say, just mentioning that this story is set in the game universe, not manga universe. That explains why Blue is more talkative than usual, and why Red has a Charizard compared to a Venusaur. Anyway, let's go on with the story! Review if you feel like it.
Silence overtook the room. The three were all seated, with Blue and Green sitting on one couch, and Red on the other.
No one wanted to be the first to speak, especially since Red didn't look too happy. His red eyes looked emotionless as usual, but not to Blue. He had known him for over a decade, and he could read his thoughts. After a couple minutes of silence, Blue spoke up.
"So Red, where have you been the past three years? We heard you just left after what happened."
He shouldn't have even mentioned anything related to the incident, as Red's face twitched for a second. He was obviously still affected by it, but who could blame him? What happened that day would've driven any man off the edge, especially a fifteen-year-old teenager.
"I kept traveling," Red replied quietly. He was staring at the floor now, and he had his hands on his knees.
Blue studied him more. He had certainly grown, being the same height as him now. He remembered back to when he himself was always taller, even if by a little. As much as they fought and had arguments, he had missed him. He was not only his rival, but also his best friend. Red was the one who pushed him to become better.
"Why're you in my house?" Red asked them, finally looking up.
Blue and Green looked at each other nervously and smiled.
"That's for you to answer," Blue said, still looking at Green.
Green gave him a death glare. She knew how upset Red was to find out that his two best friends were in his old house.
"Well, I decided I wanted to move out, but I didn't want to leave Pallet Town just yet, so Oak offered me your place to stay at," she said nervously. She was looking down, avoiding eye contact with Red.
She was expecting him to just kill her right then and there, or at the very least, yell at her, but nothing happened. She looked up and saw his face. She thought she was imagining it, but she saw a small smile appear on his face.
"And Blue?" Red asked, "Why is he here?"
"Oh, he was just spending the night. It gets lonely at times living here by myself," Green replied.
"Yeah, she always asks me to spend the night with her. I've actually been staying over all week," Blue said with a grin.
"Shut up idiot! We both know it's not like that!" she shouted at him while she whacked him in the head.
Upset at his comment, Green got up and took a seat next to Red. She hugged his abdomen and pulled him closer to her.
"I'm really happy you came back, we've missed you so much," she whispered into his ear. He could feel the warmth of her breath, and it sent chills down his spine.
Had she done that to Blue, he probably would've been jumping for joy and smiling like crazy, but not Red. He simply forced a weak smile and nodded.
Blue cleared his throat, obviously upset at what he was seeing. Green quickly released her hold on Red, and turned the same color as his hat.
"But anyway, what exactly have you been doing all these years? And no, I don't want hear 'just traveling' like you said," Blue asked.
The red-eyed trainer sighed. He wasn't sure if he even wanted to come back permanently, much less tell them about what he had been doing the three years after his departure.
"I went to two new regions: Sinnoh and Unova," he continued by saying, "I managed to beat the elite four, and even the champions of both of them."
Blue wasn't surprised. He knew it was just like him to dominate any region he visited. After all, he knew Red managed to go through Kanto at ten, Johto at twelve, and Hoenn at fourteen. He missed all the times they had on their journey when they traveled together.
"I also made some new traveling companions. They might visit us soon," he said with a small smile.
Blue didn't care, but Green was upset. She didn't show it however, not wanting to weird Red out.
Red, Blue, and Green, that was always the way it was. The original group that always traveled together. Sure, they had more people when they went through Johto and Hoenn, but the three of them were never separated.
They were interrupted by a knock on the door, and some shouting outside.
"Come in," said Green.
Inside came in two people, both of whom Red recognized.
One had golden colored eyes, and a black hat with goggles on. A little puff of hair was coming out of it, making his hair seem somewhat spiky. He had a red sweater, alongside some black shorts and white and red shoes.
The other had red hair that reached his collarbone, and silver eyes housing a serious expression. His attire was simple; a long sleeve black shirt, some dark blue pants, and black shoes.
"Hey, what's going on guys?" said the golden eyed one. He scanned the room to see who was there until he met eyes with his former master.
"No way! Is that you Red?" he shouted while running up to him.
Much to Red's surprise however, he didn't tackle him or attempt to hug him, unlike his other two friends.
"Gold, nice to see you again," he said while getting up from his seated position
"It's great knowing you're back! Say, want to have a battle?" Gold asked him.
"Perhaps at another time, let's catch up really quick," Red suggested while motioning towards the door.
Gold, not bothered by being rude, decided to leave with him. Before he left however, he looked at Green with curious eyes.
"Are those real?" he asked while gesturing towards her chest.
"What?" Green asked dumbfounded.
Gold was about to speak up until Red dragged him out the door at lightning speed. Once outside, he called out his Charizard and Red threw him on, eventually boarding the orange dragon as well.
"Go Charizard! Fly!" Red commanded.
The fire type pokemon was confused at first, but did as ordered. It spread its wide wings and with a roar, took off.
Gold sat up, completely baffled by what happened.
"Why'd you do that, man?" he asked confused.
"That's why," Red responded while pointing behind him.
Gold looked back and noticed a pidgeot chasing them. Upon closer inspection, he noticed Blue was on it, and he didn't look too happy. He looked furious with rage actually.
"Why's he mad?" Gold asked with a smile.
"What you said to Green upset him," Red replied quietly.
"Oh, that makes sense."
Gold noticed pidgeot closing in on them, and laughed.
"Wait, what's he going to do anyway? Beat us up?" he said, trying to control his laughter.
"He won't do anything to me, but you'll be in a world of hurt," Red answered.
Gold gulped and shouted, "Why're we going so slow then? Go! Go! Go!"
Red sighed and said, "Speed up a little bit, Charizard."
Charizard obeyed its master's orders and sped up its pace. Despite its efforts however, Blue and his pidgeot were already on their right.
Gold looked down and spotted various buildings. He assumed it was Viridian City, and smiled.
"Forget this, I'm out of here!"
He called out his Togekiss and hopped onto it, eventually disappearing into the city below.
Red sighed, and said, "Charizard, mind going back to Pallet Town?"
The fire type pokemon roared in agreement, and did a U-turn back.
"Wait, where are you going?" shouted Blue, who was still next to him.
"Back to Pallet Town," Red yelled back. It was somewhat hard hearing due to the speed they were going. Not to mention it was a windy as well.
Blue nodded and kept following him. Red assumed he was going to go back to Pallet Town as well. He was about to question why he didn't go after Gold, but decided not to bring it up.
The fly back was a quiet one. Neither trainer said a word, or even had any form of facial expression. Blue's anger diminished as fast as it came once he saw Gold go down into the city.
Red could feel the strong wind on his face, and surprisingly, his hat hadn't come off. He looked as if he was in a trance, deep in thought. A million things were going through his mind, but at the same time, his mind was blank. He shook his head, trying to focus on what lay ahead.
Eventually, the small town came into view over the horizon. The sun was in full blast now, but it was still rather chilly. Red inspected below him and noticed many kids playing in the street now. Blue noticed this too and smiled.
"Land at that house," Red ordered while pointing towards his old house.
Charizard nodded and did as told. He went down at a blinding speed, but stopped smoothly when they were close to the ground. Eventually landing on the ground, Red hopped off the orange dragon, his feet hitting the dirt road in front of his house. He called back his Charizard, and put the pokeball back on his belt.
He stood there, waiting for Blue to do the same. After Blue got off his Pidgeot, they walked up to the door.
The red-eyed trainer motioned for his old traveling companion to go first, as he didn't like entering first.
Blue nodded, opened the door, and walked in. Red did the same.
Upon seeing who was there, Red stopped breathing. Inside, you could see three people seated. Green and Silver were seated on one couch, while another brown haired girl was seated in the other.
She wore a red and white hat, similar to Red's. She adorned an open black vest with a white shirt, and some torn up short shorts. For footwear, she wore red and black boots, which seemed relatively dirty, implying she had been traveling as well.
She met eyes with Red, with her grey-blue, practically white eyes housing a joyful expression.
"Red-sama, it's so good to see you again," she said walking up to him. She was rather short, with Red being about a head taller.
Everyone had confused looks, considering it was rare to call someone that.
"What does sama even mean?" asked Blue.
"It's something you use to address someone of higher status or intellect than you," Silver answered quietly.
Red not bothered by it, smiled and replied, "Nice to see you again White. I haven't seen you in a couple weeks."
"Weeks?" asked Green. Her eyes appeared neutral, but seemed to be concealing other feelings.
"Yeah! We traveled together back in Unova! It sure was a fun time," White explained.
She turned back to Red and said, "Oh, Black said he'd be here tomorrow or so. His flight got delayed apparently. You know how he is."
Red nodded in understanding. Red and White then went to take a seat back on the couch, while Blue was just standing there awkwardly.
"Say, Red?" Blue said.
"Hmm?"
"Why don't you introduce me to your friend?" he asked.
Red sighed and said, "Blue, this is White, my traveling companion from Unova. White, this is Blue, my friend who I traveled with through three regions."
"Best friend," Blue corrected.
Red shot him a death glare, and if looks could kill, Blue would've died a painful death. The air in the room tensed, and to avoid annoying Red even more, Blue spoke up.
"Hey guys, I'm going to go take a shower, I'll be right back," he said, already going up the stairs.
Red's eye twitched, and White could feel his change in expression.
"Green, why exactly is Blue showering in my house, and not his?"
She laughed, and replied, "Well, he's been spending the night here so often, that he actually brought over a lot of his clothes."
White rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. Red kept his usual stoic expression, and sat back against the couch, petting White's head. He eventually closed his eyes as well.
Silver looked as bored as ever, while Green frowned for a split second, before returning to her usual smirk.
She was lost in thought, looking down at the floor. She hoped that when he came back, she would've been able to tell him her feelings. She had hoped that he would've been alone, but those hopes were shattered as soon as White came. She didn't realize it, but tears started forming in her eyes.
She was broken from her trance by Silver, who shook her shoulders.
"Hey, you okay?" he whispered.
Green looked at him. His eyes seemed concerned, which was a big deal considering Silver wasn't the most expressive person.
"Yeah," she lied. She wanted to tell him what was on her mind, but she didn't want to trouble him or annoy him.
After a couple moments of silence, Green spoke up.
"So Red, there's this Halloween carnival in town next week. You should come. Everyone is going; even Ruby and Sapphire are stopping by."
Before Red could answer, White stood up and said, "We should really go, Red-sama! I'm sure it'd be amazing!"
"I thought you wanted to go through Kanto?" Red replied with his eyes still closed.
"We can do that later. Besides, I'm still tired from all that traveling through Unova. Please?" she begged.
Red knew that if he opened his eyes and looked at her, he would give in. She would always make expressions that were impossible to say no to.
Red sighed and said, "Fine."
"Great!" she exclaimed while pulling him into a hug. "Hey Red-sama," she continued, "You should invite Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. I'm sure they'd love to come."
Red nodded tiredly. All he wanted to do was sleep, considering he hadn't slept much lately.
He stood up, albeit with a slouch in his composure, and started making his way upstairs.
"Where are you going, Red-sama?"
"I'm going to take a nap," he replied without looking back.
"Oh, let me come!" she said while running up the stairs to catch up to him.
"Fine," he said.
They eventually disappeared from view, and it was now just Green and Silver in the living room. She couldn't hold back any longer, and started sobbing. She wanted to stop, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing. Silver sighed and pulled her closer to him.
"You should've just told him back then," he whispered.
Green didn't reply, she just kept crying. He hugged her even tighter, trying to comfort her. He didn't have a problem with Red, in fact, he thought he was a good person, but he didn't like that he was the reason for Green's sadness.
She eventually relaxed, but still kept hugging Silver. She looked at him with thankful eyes.
"I'll tell him during the carnival. I'll try to be alone with him, and I'll tell him for sure," she said quietly.
Silver nodded, slowly releasing his hold on her.
Green didn't care anymore. She just saw the love of her life, whom she had spent over a decade being best friends with, just find someone else. She felt like she was useless. She refrained from crying again, however.
"Tomorrow will be better, I promise," Silver said reassuring her.
She hugged him, and with a smile said, "I hope so."
I'm having a poll on my profile to see which pairings you guys want. I'm warning you now though; there'll be a lot of choices to choose from. Also, please don't choose pairings involving the same characters. Example: Choosing Red x White and Red x Green. Don't do that, please? Anyway, thanks for reading!
