Believe it or not, I had some trouble on the second chapter. I didn't know how I could pick up the story, whether to continue with the main plot, or throw in a filler chapter. So, I added both. Kinda.

Also, thanks for the follows, favorites, and reviews. Some of you guys noted that Green lived in his Gym. And that's right. As I said before, it isn't a big deal, but at least I know now. I'll change the first chapter later. Thanks for the info! ^.^

Please enjoy this chapter!

Celadon City; 10:51 AM

April 7

All of the female Dex Holders gathered at the Celadon Department Store, and it was one of those usual days where they hung out and befriended each other. With the exception of Blue, who was probably kept busy with preparations for the game, every female Dex Holder seemed to be present.

Each of the Dex Holders was quite different in their own way. For example, compare the polite and elegant Platinum to the rude and foul-mouthed barbarian known as Sapphire. They might be completely different from each other, but in the end, they befriended, working together and exhibiting good cooperation.

At the Celadon Department Store, which was basically a large, five stories tall shopping center, the group wanted to shop for new clothes and stock up on necessities, since it had been a while since they had ever done so.

But unfortunately, Sapphire was acting recklessly, running around the floors and annoying the living life out of people in the elevators. She wasn't a fan of clothes shopping; rather, she'd prefer shopping for supplies, such as Full Restores and Max Repels. Adequate clothing was the least of her concerns.

"Yahoo!" Sapphire was creating uproar on the second floor, where there were various cafes and mini restaurants. People often turned to glare at her, but then continued on with their personal activities.

The other female Dex Holders were forced to follow and monitor her.

"Well..." Crystal said quietly. "I really don't think that we could leave her alone." She then pointed to a nearby café, right in front of them. "How about we grab some lunch?"

Platinum nodded and smiled. "That sounds like a very suitable plan, senior Crystal."

The dark blue haired girl then walked over to Sapphire, aiming for her arms.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Sapphire yelled, pouting.

"E-Eh, well senior Sapphire, we are grabbing lunch at the nearby café." She answered nervously. "Would you like to accompany us?"

Sapphire immediately escaped from the clutches of Platinum and ran over to the café. "I'm starved!"

Sometimes, Platinum wondered if she was acting like this on purpose. But in the end, she brushed that thought out of her head, and hurriedly followed her.

Once the female Dex Holders all said their respective orders, they all motioned for one of the small round tables not too far ahead. The table held up to six seats, quite suitable for the moderately large group.

Once they were all seated, Crystal decided to discuss about the game that Blue devised.

"You know, I don't really want to travel to Sinnoh to play one of Blue's dangerous games..." The blue haired girl sighed, with the other Dex Holders agreeing with her.

"M-Maybe it could be really fun if we tried." Yellow said meekly.

"But it's from senior Blue." Platinum replied seriously. "Judging by her previous tricks and plans, this game might get out of control if not kept in observation."

"At least we could use our Pokémon!" Sapphire hollered.

"But it's a simple game of Capture the Flag." Yellow said, with a hint of curiousness in her voice. "How could it get out of control? You just grab the flag, and you win. Or, I might be wrong.."

The other Dex Holders thought about that. A simple game of Capture the Flag couldn't be too hard. The concept of it was quite easy to understand. Even if it was devised by the evil Blue, who often played around with her fellow Dex Holders, the game couldn't have been easier to understand. She didn't toggle around with the rules heavily, surprisingly. What she toggled with the most was the penalties tagged along with it.

"It's the penalties that really get on my nerves!" Sapphire pouted. "I don't want to cross-dress! Not in front of Ruby, he would laugh at me until the day I die!"

"It would be very humiliating to cross-dress in front of my fellow comrades..." Platinum whispered, blushing furiously at the thought of it.

"...Maybe I would want to see Red as a girl..." Yellow muttered very quietly, hoping no one noticed her. But Crystal, who sat next to her, picked up on her sudden words.

"What was that Yellow...?" Crystal turned to Yellow, who immediately burned up. She frantically covered her face with her hands, blushing heavily.

"N-Nothing...!" Yellow pouted, feeling her heart pound loudly in her ears.

Luckily, no one else but Crystal picked up on that.

"At least the teams will be picked at random..." Crystal muttered, sighing in relief. "That means that I'll have a less of a chance to be paired with Gold..."

"You don't like him senior Crystal?" Platinum asked curiously. "I have always thought that you and senior Gold work well together."

"W-Well, it's not like I hate him or anything, I just think that he gets on my nerves a lot. I won't be able to deal with him for long periods of time. I would explode if that were the case."

"I feel that deep down, he really does care for you." She said, hoping to comfort her. Crystal looked down towards the floor, distraught.

"…There's no way he does Platinum." Crystal said gloomly. "He doesn't care about anyone."

"He cares about you!" Platinum said, determined to cheer up the gloomy Crystal.

"Heh. In your dreams." She muttered, managing to curve a smile on her lips.

"But…whatever that evil Blue plans," Sapphire smirked, full of excitement, "I hope it will be fun."

The female Dex Holders reluctantly agreed with her.

After their meals, the group split ways, buying whatever they had needed for the game that was about to come. They just hoped it wouldn't be too bad. But they all knew that this game wouldn't just be a simple game of Capture the Flag. They learned that from none other but Blue herself.

Eterna Forest; 11:42 AM

April 7

While the other female Dex Holders were at the Celadon Department Store, without her knowledge, Blue was touring Eterna Forest. She felt like she had to jot down some information about the area before commencing a competition. Of course, she had to convince Green to let her borrow his Charizard so she could fly to Sinnoh. It took time and persistence, in addition to her excessive annoying behavior, and finally, she succeeded.

It went a little something like this.

~.~.~.~

"Greenie!" Blue lunged towards the Kanto Dex Holder, forcibly embracing him.

"Would you get off of me?!" The Gym Leader yelled angrily, trying to pry her off of him.

"Not if you don't follow my orders!" Her arms tightened around his chest, resting her head onto his shoulders. Annoyed, he desperately wanted her to leave him alone.

"…What do you want?"

"Lemme borrow your Charizard!" Her hand reached for his waist, attempting to grab one of the Poke Balls.

"Why?" He grabbed her wrist, twisting it. She frowned, grimacing in pain as she lightened her embrace.

"So I can go somewhere!" Blue pouted.

"…You want to fly to Sinnoh, right?" The Gym Leader could clearly see through her, quickly realizing her true intentions.

"Please Greenie? I promise I won't annoy you for a month!"

"Don't call me that. And you can't keep that promise; you and I both know that." He sighed loudly.

"U-Uhm!" She wanted to protest, but she couldn't. It was all true. She knew that she wouldn't have been able to ignore Green for a long time, certainly not a month.

"T-Then, if you don't let me borrow your Charizard, then I'll keep annoying you! Until the day you die!" She started laughing quite loudly, purposing trying to draw attention to themselves. The calm Dex Holder was annoyed to death by her, and he knew that she wouldn't stop until she got what she wanted.

"Fine. Here." He handed her a single Poke Ball, containing his Charizard, who was resting in its small shelter, waiting to be summoned out.

The brunette smirked. She was the master when it came to negotiating. Or, actually, the master when it came to annoying the living life out of people.

"…Pesky woman." He muttered.

~.~.~.~

While reminiscing of her success, Blue smiled, holding her hand to her chest. She liked Green the way he was. She couldn't have imagined him as anyone else but an emotionless jerk. A cool, kind-hearted, (only when there's an emergency), emotionless jerk, who was also a good friend.

Now, it was time for research. God, she was acting more like Green every day. Did hanging out with him every day affect her? Could be so.

She surveyed the area that she was in, surrounded by the thick trees and bushes. Just like a typical forest, she thought, quietly walking around the grassland. Lots of trees and bushes. A few trees with berries. Most of the berries found are common. Some Pokémon found are Murkrow, Budew, and Weedle. Most of the Pokémon are Bug and Grass type. Oh, and there's a mossy rock too. I heard it emits a radiation that causes Eevee to evolve into…Leafeon?

She quickly got bored of the area. It was like a typical forest, and it looked awfully similar to Kanto's Viridian Forest. It didn't suit her needs for a competitive game like Capture the Flag.

Turning around to find a clear area for her to summon out Charizard, she stood in awe as she saw a dark purple building, surrounded by the trees, creating a deep shadow. Looking at the map that she stole from Green, it was known as the Old Chateau, and it definitely looked like a haunted house.

She remembered Platinum telling her about the Old Chateau, and how it was full of ghostly figures, and, oddly, that there was a room with a television, rumored to be holding a certain Pokémon at night. She claimed that she, Diamond, and Pearl were to only ones who ever entered the Old Chateau.

Blue smirked, grabbing the red flag from the contents of her bag, and began walking towards the haunted building.

"Oh ho ho…" She muttered to herself, smirking. This was going to be an interesting game. She just knew it.

Well, this chapter contained two parts, so it was quite long. And as I said in the beginning, it wasn't much of an important chapter, but it did include some foreshadowing of what's to come. I'm still thinking of what will happen when the game begins, but, you probably won't find out until later.

NOTE: The game starts on April 13th. In the first chapter, the date was April 6th. I will need to edit that into the chapter later.

As always, thanks for reading, and please review!
