Unknown Soldier Chapter 2: Surviving Soldier, a pokémon fanfic

Surviving Soldier

Few days after Red and Green's meet they were on their respective flying types, heading off to... Hoenn. Why?

"Are you sure this is where Blue and Yellow are being held Red?" Green grunted, tapping his Pidgeot as a sign to go faster. Red just nodded, looking over the note again. The handwriting was extremely familiar, and the information on where the two are held was given by a very...generous grunt.

Red gave a small grin remembering what had happened in Saffron City.

FLASHBACK

Red and Green landed in the core of Kanto; Saffron City. After Green gave in and decided to help Red find the two missing girls, he handed Red the note and the crimson eyed dark version of Red skimmed over, trying to analyze the handwriting. The charcoal haired man's eyes widened when recognizing it.

Green raised an eyebrow, a little scared and confused on what his friend was thinking.

"Did you figure it out Red?" Green asked.

Red nodded darkly and answered only with, "Saffron..." And here they were.

Red returned his Charizard and turned to glance at Green, "Alone." he stated loud enough for Green to hear, pointing to himself.

Green raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms, "Why?"

"Take a guess." Was all the crimson eyed man uttered before entering the Saffron building; Silph Co. Upon entering Red's ears rang at the many a loud people in the ground floor. Red tried to slip his way through the large crowds of workers, telegraphers and tourists, all the while trying not to be spotted as a familiar face. Soon he was able to reach one of the few secretaries that are actually willing to work in this hell hole.

"Hello welcome to Silph Co. may I help you?" The tanned skinned female asked, adjusting the uncomfortable headset that was engraving itself in her head. Looking up she noticed she was face-to-face with the savior of this place.

"It's you R-" Before his identity could be given away Red quickly clamped his hand over her mouth and used his free hand to scour his left pocket and pull out the note.

"Stay silent." Red sneered, slamming the note on the table, sliding the note forward. The secretary nodded quietly and looked over the note after Red removed his hand from her mouth. Looking over the secretary nodded, a little shocked at the note.

She switched off her headset, "Fourth floor, and room 1-1-5." Red nodded and snatched up the note before heading quickly and quietly headed for the elevator, clutching Pika's Pokeball tightly. When opening the nearest elevator Red sweat dropped at how crowded it was but realized this would still be easier than taking the stairs or escalators. Red squeezed in, flicking his middle knuckle on the fourth floor icon, setting its preset destination to hit fourth as soon as possible.

As Red laid his back against the back wall railing he heard the sneer of a businessman, "Now children are able to be in Silph Co? What's next, Parents leaving their babies with their pokemon in here? It's stupid I tell you." The businessman sneered quietly. Upon reaching his destination Red squirmed his way out and said one thing to the sarcastic annoyed male.

"I'm hurt to see my fan base treat me so cruelly. I would've expected the people of Kanto to treat their savior with respect. Hypocrite." Red glared madly at the man before heading out towards the registered room.

The people in the elevator stayed silent as they saw Red Ketchum leave their line-of-sight.

Red glanced sharply throughout the floor with discontent as he saw scientists with glares, male employees with confusion and female employees with lustful stares.

Red just ignored the employees, mainly the females, shaking his head, I already have my eyes on someone. My deepest apologies. Not really. He thought with annoyance. He soon saw the room that was instructed for him to visit and knocked lightly, trying not to scare who was inside.

A man with teal hair opened the door, "Yes?" The person asked. All Red did was stare him down and flip the note open, bringing it into the man's line of sight.

The sight of the familiar note scared him, "Shit." As he tried to close the sliding door Red placed his upper arm horizontally in the way, hurting him slightly as the door tried to forcibly crush his fist into his arm.

"No." With all of his strength Red used his left arm to pull the sliding door open again. It worked as Red was able to slide in barely before the door slammed shut, the person moving back in shock, never seeing someone that powerful before. Red shook his right arm, still feeling the pain of his bones bending from the force. Looking forward Red saw the person shuffling backward, his arm shaking as if it was going to hit something. Red rushed forward as the man reached behind his desk to grab his M1911. When the man felt his fingers wrap around the cold handle Red reached the man. The cold-dead crimson eyed man grabbed the teal haired man's head and smashed it into the table, making the man lose his grip on the gun and reality for a moment.

"I am not in the mood Archer. Tell me where the person who is holding Blue and Yellow is!" Red's voice was thick with anger and sadness. Red held Archer by the collar and saw the blood streaming out of Archer's broken nose and bruised forehead.

Archer grinned madly at Red, "Oh, and why would you want to know where they are? Knowing you you'll just break their hearts and leave them for dead again." Archer laughed, effectively fueling Red's anger again. Showing that Red wasn't fooling around Red nailed Archer's stomach with a knee and threw him into a wall, Archer's body flailing like a rag doll. Red went behind Archer's desk and pulled the Colt .45 out, pulling the charge back.

He trained it on Archer's head, "I will not falter." He said venomously. Looking into his eyes Red saw the thing that caused Red to become the lone man that he is today, fear, sympathy and anger. Red felt the tears brimming in his eyes as he loosened his grip on the pistol, letting the sidearm fall to his side.

Archer saw the pain in Red's eyes, "You love those two don't you?" Archer asked, shakily standing up, holding his injured right arm. Red nodded slightly before turning away.

Archer sighed, "He's going to kill me but I don't care by this point," Red turned his head in confusion, and Archer answered, "Our boss has gone too far, taking people's loved ones. The person you are looking for is in Hoenn, on Mt. Pyre. He wants revenge against you for stopping his operations at Sevii. The base is heavily guarded so expect an ambush on top of heavy resistance."

Red took all the information in but still had a question, "Why are you helping me? You work for Giovanni…" He trailed off, holstering the pistol in his pocket.

Archer just laughed, "You're not the only one who had a loved one stolen by a criminal. Promise me this Red," He grabbed the crimson eyed man's arm, "Don't make the same as I did and let her die." Archer opened the door and rushed to the bathroom to prevent anyone from seeing him and alerting the guards. Red just stood there, thinking on what Archer said, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a chained locket, opening the little heart container, inside were two pictures. It was the same picture Green had, but separated into two different ones, Green and Yellow and him and Blue. Red had always known that Green had a crush on Yellow for her cute looks, sweet smile, glowing eyes, and innocence.

Red sighed sadly, placing the necklace back in his pocket, "I failed too many times. Not anymore. I will fight." He turned sharply, walking out the door, shutting the sliding door behind him.

If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anybody care
If my time was up I wanna know
You were happy I was there
If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anyone lose sleep
If I wasn't hard and hollow
Then maybe you would miss me

Outside Green was standing there waiting for Red, leaning against the wall, remembering the good times.

He noticed Red, "Any luck?" Red nodded, a silent smile playing on his lips.

"Hoenn. Mt. Pyre."

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
I can never forget
So don't remind me of it forever

Green watched on his Pidgeot Hoenn come into view, where Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald used to live before Team Rocket came by. Red remembered before the three were executed Sapphire admitting that she had liked Ruby for the longest time, despite his prissy attitude. Ruby wouldn't stop crying after hearing that, and wouldn't stop when Sapphire's blood splat onto his face. Emerald yelling in pain when Team Rocket missed the first shot, it instead holding stock in his abdomen.

What if I just pulled myself together
Would it matter at all
What if I just try not to remember
Would it matter at all
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
Would it matter at all

"If only I wasn't stupid." Red choked out in agony. Green knew what he meant and nodded.

If I wasn't here tomorrow
Would anybody care
Still stuck inside this sorrow
I've got nothing and going nowhere

"It doesn't matter if it was your fault or not Red. This is the lowest Team Rocket has ever been, and Giovanni will pay for it in his own blood. I'm done with battling with Pokemon against these bastards, it's a fight to the death." Green cried out, his fist clenched so hard his own blood was dripping.

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
I can never forget
So don't remind me of it forever

Upon reaching Lilycove City the duo departed their pokemon, returning them before heading to the nearest pokemon for the night.

"It's nice to see you again Red." A feminine voice echoed through the pokemon center. Red was startled and turned around, his eyes widening.

"Blue, is that you?" Red was deathly afraid that it wasn't his old friend. He reached out a hand and tapped her shoulder, wanting to see if it would go straight through.

Blue just giggled when she felt the force, "Of course it's me silly. Who did you expect it to be, Green? Last I checked he was a boy." She said, sticking her tongue out slightly. Red felt his eyes overflowing with tears as he launched himself at Blue, capturing her in a deep, long-awaited hug.

"I've missed you so much Blue." Red choked out, "I'm sorry that you were caught in this mess, Yellow as well! I missed you both!" Red let his tears fly free from their prison, sobbing deeply into Blue's shoulder.

"I've missed you as well Red." She ran a hand through his hair, lightly humming, "Yellow says hi as well. She also told me to tell you to tell Green she sends her best regards." Blue smiled.

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I like better
Can you help me forget
Don't wanna feel like this forever...forever

Red lifted his head from her shoulder, "Where is Yellow anyway?" He hiccupped, trying to slash away the tears.

Blue just pointed up, "In heaven, watching down on us."

What if I just pulled myself together
Would it matter at all
What if I just try not to remember
Would it matter at all
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Red was taken aback, moving backwards, "What?!" He was absolutely shocked by what Blue said, nonchalantly no less.

Blue nodded, giggling, "Yep. I was only barely able to escape after her head was chopped off. She distracted them. I'm also holding Giovanni's baby." She added, patting her stomach happily. Red was gripping his head in agony and pain after hearing what Blue said.

"Did he rape you?" Red was getting mad at Giovanni. Not pissed, not hurt, just mad.

"No, I was willing. Yellow was as well. It was glorious, pretty sure you would've been worse for me. And I want the best possible." She was swooning now, Red not happy at what he was hearing.

"Shut up! I know this isn't you Blue! Just shut up!" Red was yelling, screaming, pleading for blue to stop. This had to be a dream, not better yet a fucking nightmare!

If I live tomorrow
Would anybody care
Stuck in this sorrow
Going nowhere

Red pulled out the M1911 and held it to his temple, pulling the trigger.

Red shot out of his bed, rolling into the floor, holding his chest, coughing madly, tears slamming onto the floor.

"Oh god! Please tell me it was a dream, nightmare whatever!" Red whispered, his breathing labored. He quickly stood up and looked around the dark room, his eyes adjusting. The only thing he heard was Green's light breathing as he slept. Red moved out to the balcony, slamming his elbows on the railing, holding his head down and his hands cupped over his head.

All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
Would it matter at all

"I'm ending this Giovanni… life or death."

Aura: Here's the end of chapter two! I'm enjoying this story so far. What about you guys. By the way, DO NOT forget the conversation between Red and Blue was a DREAM! So I do not want people hating on me for that sequence. Anyway, see you soon and R&R!
