Sup, peeps! I'm so thrilled that you guys are enjoying my strange writing!

In an effort to refrain from boring the crap out of you, I'm cutting the intro short this time.

Disclaimer: Really, I don't own these peeps or the franchise. Why else would I be posting on this site…?

Well, here it is- the next chapter of Camp PokéSpe! (So sorry for such a late update! T_T)


Crystal

"So, Blue, care to tell us why we needed to come so badly?" Crystal asked after she'd finally calmed down, despite her cheeks being quite sore. She wasn't too sure if she should be procrastinating this long by being here with all the Sinnoh documents that needed to be filled out back at the lab, but Professor Oak had insisted for her to go, rambling on about how she works too hard and needed a break. Although, she did remember him mentioning something about Blue being extremely unpredictable nowadays… She snapped out of her thoughts when Blue responded to her cheerfully.

"Why, we're going on a camping trip, of course! It was Emerald's idea~!" Blue winked. Green stiffened.

"No. Just… no. I'm going back to Viridian, and I'm going to look into getting a restraining order." Green started walking off, but Gold reached out, grabbing his arm and keeping him from leaving.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, senior Green! Where do you think you're going? We've got a camping trip to go on!" Gold smirked, but his expression quickly changed to one of surprise as he got a very dark glare from Green. The senior Dex Holder tore his arm away from his junior, and the latter blinked in shock.

"Make that two restraining orders." Ruby corrected, with Yellow standing between him and Sapphire as a sort of peacekeeper. The Healer glanced at the Hoenn pair apprehensively, but Crystal let out a loud snort. Gold slowly turned around, eyes narrowed suspiciously, and his mouth curved into an evil grin.

"Did I just hear Super Serious Gal having some humanity?" The boy leaned toward Crystal on his billiard cue, "You've been quite out of character lately. Has my hotness sparked something in your boring old- oof!" An extremely annoyed Crystal's foot abruptly flew upwards, hitting Gold square in nuts. He dropped to the ground fast as a combusken's kick. The big-mouthed Dex Holder let out a silent scream.

"Er, Miss Crys?" Emerald asked his idol, shoving Gold about five feet away harshly with his foot ("AH-HAH-HOWWW!"), "Can we please stop hurting the bastard until after we're at the campsite?"

"Dammit, why do you people hate me so…?" Gold mumbled, rocking himself as to try to numb his pain. His eyes had welled up with tears.

"Okay everybody, let's go so we don't have Silver waiting too long. I feel bad enough sending him out by himself so much." Blue pulled out her tracking system, watching a little silver dot travel into the depths of Ilex Forest.

"Get me some ice and I'll go wherever you say…" Gold grumbled. He rolled over on the ground, bumping into ChuChu. Pika's cheeks lit up with electricity, and the yellow mouse gave a glare quite similar to Green's, yet somehow much more threatening.

"Piiiikaaa…."

"Ah, shit-!"

[Author side note: I'M SO SORRY, GOLD! T.T]

In a matter of time, Blue had finally gotten them all to start their trek through Ilex Forest, somehow 'convincing' Green to go with them as well. They were quiet for a while, but of course, Gold had to break the silence.

"Been a while since we've been in here, huh, Super Serious Gal? You too, seniors." The golden-eyed boy twirled his cue as they made their way underneath the vibrant green trees.

Crystal silently noted how strange it was to see the place so… peaceful. As she watched several ledyba fly past, she gave a small smile.

"Yeah, it has- I remember our adventure well. Although, I also remember something else happening here, after the battle was won, but I don't quite remember what it was…" Red said, scratching his head. Yellow tripped, and Blue broke into a grin.

"Ah, yes! You got a call from Misty, and then Gold helped you escape before you could choose~." The meddlesome girl laughed.

"Pesky woman…" Green said from where he was tied up against the back of Blasty's shell, paralyzed (from the effects of a mysterious powder found in Blue's bag), while the large turtle Pokémon walked slowly behind the others. Blasty popped his cannons out when he heard Green's comment. The blastoise let out a low growl, and Green sweat dropped.

" Choose what?" Red asked, confused. Crystal face-palmed. Even she could remember what, and she wasn't a contributor to the event back then! Gold raised his eyebrows at Red, unable to believe it, either.

"N-nothing, Blue was saying nothing!" Yellow assured, blushing. She jumped as Sapphire whooshed past her, jumping from tree to tree, with Emerald running competitively below her. Crystal blinked, surprised at both their speeds.

"Sapphire, Emerald, slow down! You don't even know where we're going!" Ruby called, trying to catch up using his high-tech running shoes from Devon CO., making him a blur.

"It's not nothing if you're blushing." Blue grinned as she put them back on subject, and began rummaging through her yellow bag, retrieving a photo that Crystal couldn't see from her position. But Red seemed to recognize it, for his face turned a deeper scarlet than Yellow's did. He averted his eyes away, pretending to turn his attention to Pika and ChuChu, who just so happened to be nuzzling at the moment. It didn't make things any better for him.

"What is that, Blue?" Crystal asked, overcome with curiosity at what could make the Champion so… weak. Blue waggled her finger at her, folding the picture away.

"Tsk tsk, Crys. It's classified." Blue laughed, but just then Pichu took a flying leap and snatched the photo out of the Evolver's hand, bounced around, and then gave it to a smirking Gold.

"Good work, Pichu. Now, let's see what senior Red turned red about…" The boy flipped open the folded photo. Crystal watched as his eyes slowly widened.

"Gold, what is-?"

"Like Blue said, Super Serious Gal," Gold interrupted, folding the picture into a plane and throwing it to Blue, "it's none of your business." The 19-year-old caught it easily, and stashed it away.

"I highly doubt that." Crystal narrowed her eyes.

"By the way, can you get one like that for me? Not the same person as Red, though. Could it be…?" The Breeder looked hopefully at Blue, and the girl understood him at once.

Blue threw her head back and laughed. "Ohohoho~! So it is her? My suspicions were correct!" Gold blushed at this, to their surprise.

Yellow, Red, and Crystal were now all confused, and Blasty was threatening Green to fall backwards.

"Please, can someone tell me what's going on?" Red exclaimed.

"We've found it, we've found it!"

"Look, even Silver is here!"

They all turned to look, and Blasty fell backwards, hitting Green into a tree.


Yellow

"Ah, uh, l-let's get going then." Yellow laughed nervously, and, avoiding eye contact, began to pick up the pace, disappearing through the trees. She kept going, not wanting to continue their uncomfortable conversation that made little sense to her.

Yellow came to an abrupt halt as she came to the side of a massive gorge. Steadying her balance, she looked wide-eyed down into rapid waters forty feet below from where she stood. This was definitely not Viridian Forest. Her hand instinctively reached for Freesk's pokéball, and she released the butterfree. Freesk let out a happy cry, and flew around to Yellow's shoulders. When the Healer was sure that Freesk had a good grip, she took a flying jump, and leaped clear over the gorge.

Landing lightly on her feet, the small Dex holder looked behind her, Freesk's wings making her look like a sort of fairy in the darkness, and watched as her companions reached the edge. She let out a small giggle as she saw Gold nearly fall over, but to be saved by Crystal's xatu, followed by a scolding. Without realizing it, someone sneaked up behind her as she watched the two of her juniors.

"You're fast today!" Red laughed. Yellow jumped, and mistaking it for wanting to fly, Freesk flew her up into the air.

Blushing, she looked down to see Red, Aero, Pika, and ChuChu gazing up at her, and she immediately felt grateful that she was in the air so they couldn't see her face- not that the growing darkness would permit it.

"I'm sorry; did I surprise you, Yellow? I was trying to catch up to you, since I didn't want you to go alone. I mean, after all, we've never been this far into Ilex Forest before, and it's basically nighttime. There might be more than just that gorge around here, too." Red called from the ground, cupping his hands around his mouth.

Aero grasped his shoulders, and he gave a slight motion with his hand. The prehistoric Pokémon let out a loud screech that rang in Yellow's ears, and the 18 year old shot into the air. Aero got him at eye level with Yellow.

"You know, I don't know why we didn't just fly there in the first place. I say we should just stay in the air for the rest of the way to the campsite! What do you say?" Red smiled at the straw hat girl.

"I'll get Pika and ChuChu." Yellow said. She flew down in one swift motion and scooped the two pikachus up, both eagerly jumping into her arms, before flying back to meet Red.

"Pii, pika!" Pika exclaimed.

"Chuchuchu!" ChuChu agreed, tipping her head to side. They both held onto Yellow's arms happily.

"Haha, looks like they want to fly, too! C'mon, let's go- I think I see Gold and Crys getting ahead of us." As Red took off, Pika jumping onto his shoulders.

"OH GREEENIEE~~! How did you get out of my special paralyzing powder so fast~?"

"DAMMIT WOMAN, WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?!"

Red and Yellow watched as Green and Blue ran beneath them on the forest floor, Green going at a fast pace, with Blue skipping behind happily. Both airborne Dex Holders sweat-dropped.

"Uh… let's get going." Yellow suggested.

"I think that would be a good idea…"

When they arrived at the camp, Yellow was amazed. Two large yellow tents and one small red tent were laid out before them, and Pokémon and people alike buzzed around the campsite. Some were by the small stream nearby the red tent, several were walking around the clearing, and others were moving in and out of the large tents.

Yellow saw Silver and his sneasel drop stacks of wood onto the campfire in the center of camp, feeding the hungry, flickering flames. He seemed to be a bit calmer now. But then again, the red-head wasn't the best at showing emotions…

So this is what Blue considers camping to be? Interesting… Yellow turned to Red to see what he had decided to do, and saw that he was releasing his Pokémon from their pokéballs. Lax, Poli, Vee, and Saur appeared- Yellow understood why Blue had the campsite spread out in a large clearing now- and they all four dispersed to different sections of the camp, going to visit with other Pokémon or to sit by themselves, Aero joining them. She gave a moment's thought of how sad it is that some can't be let out, like Sapphire's Walo.

Yellow took the pokéballs from her belt and followed suit, releasing Dodosk, Ratty, Omask, and Golosk. Just as they left, Freesk joining them, a voice sounded from across the camp.

"Senior Red, Senior Yellow! What took you so long? I thought you both had gone ahead of us…?" Gold asked, emerging from the red tent eating a Hoenn lava cookie and spotting them immediately. He walked over to them; Aitaro perched on his right shoulder and Pichu on his left. Both his Pokémon were munching on cookies, too.

"Well, we decided to take the long route…" Red began, but the fabric door to one of the yellow tents flew open, and out stepped Blue and Emerald. Green, who was near the stream with his Pokémon, froze. Blue clapped her hands, and everyone turned to look. With all the attention on her, Blue cleared her throat, and began her speech.

"Ohoho~, welcome all to Camp PokéSpe! From here on out, whatever happens here will affect or scar you for the rest of your life~! We have dinner in an hour, and it will be around the fire that Silver has built. Sleeping arrangements include the guys staying in the yellow tent nearest to the stream, and the girls in the other tent. The red tent is where we keep the food, games, and other stuff."

"What does she mean by, 'PokéSpe'?" Yellow asked, confused by the phrase. No one answered, for the term was new to all of them.

"We will be roastin' weenies for dinner! But we won't roast Gold, don't worry." Emerald added.

"I'm not a weenie, unorthodox kid, but your head looks like a freaking lunatone." Gold responded, sticking his tongue out. Emerald gritted his teeth.

S_T_A_R_E_D_O_W_N… "Rald VS Gold! Who will win this exciting match-?"

"Time for some camping games~," Blue called. "Go get the activities bag, Clefy!" The male clefable disappeared into the red tent, singing random notes.

"It's already seven o'clock," Sapphire groaned from where she sat on the ground. She fell back and laid her head on the grass. "Do we really need to wait longer for food…?"

"Well, we haven't exactly gotten the hot dogs yet, so you'll have to wait until Silver comes back." Blue winked.

"Again, we can't eat Gold, that's why he went to get more edible-"

"LUNATONES, LUNATONES!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Emerald flew at Gold, and they began to have a vicious slap-fight.

"…What the heck…"

"I was thinking the same thing, Ruby." Red said, shaking his head.

Yellow was beginning to think that she, Red, Crys, and Ruby were the only sane ones right about now.

"And about how long are we staying here? A day? Two days?" Crystal asked, raising her hand.

But Blue ignored her, for Clefy had come back with a giant bag full to the rim with things that Yellow probably could never imagine, and Blue instead shouted in a deafening voice:

"GATHER 'ROUND THE CAMPFIRE~~~~!"

"Making us deaf won't help anyone. And what is that, a body bag?" Green growled.

"If you don't come, no hot dogs for you~!" Blue sang. Everyone, including Green and the Pokémon, quickly created a deformed circle around Blue.

"Glad you see it my way! Now, to start the first game…" As Blue rummaged through her bag, Yellow overheard Gold whisper to Crys.

"Hey Crys, how about we play the nervous game?"

"The what?"

"Here, I'll start," Gold placed his hand on Crys' shoulder, grinning. "Are you nervous…?"

"About what…?" Crys eyed him suspiciously.

He moved his hand slowly down her arm. "Are you nervous…?"

"Gold, what are you doing…?" Crys asked, not sure what was going on.

"Are you nervous…?" Farther down went his hand, until it was right next to… SMACK! Yellow saw Gold get a hard slap in the face.

"KEEP YOUR DIRTY, GROPING HANDS AWAY FROM ME!" Heads turned, and the attention was now all focused on Gold and Crystal.

"But that's what the game is! It's about how uncomfortable are you with-"

"For once, just stop talking! I'm moving farther away from you." Crys, feeling extremely violated, went around to the other side of Mega. The meganium gave Gold a glare that Silver would have been proud of. Emerald, who was watching, growled loudly.

"No need to overreact! I wasn't being seriously perverted! It's just a game!" Gold explained, trying to get her and the others to understand.

"A sick, twisted game that only people like you could come up with!"

Farther around the campfire, Yellow could also hear…

"Ruby, since we have a little bit before she finds something in that gigantic bag, do yer think we could talk about our confe-?"

"My, my, Sapphire- I have a new outfit for you, and it is BEAUTIFUL~! I brought it along, in case you wanted to try it on~!" Ruby's eyes sparkled. Yellow crossed Ruby off of her mental 'Sane' list.

"Not another one! Yer know I dun care- and I was saying something important!" Sapphire said, crossing her arms. Ruby ignored the last part, and got very defensive.

"You don't care? And I spent so much effort into making you this! Talk about ungrateful! Those fabrics were not cheap!" Ruby gave dramatic 'devastated' poses. Sapphire's face reddened, and Yellow couldn't tell if it was from anger or blushing.

"Ruby, Aye'm gonna-!"

"Try it on? WONDERFUL~! I'll go get it after we eat, so you don't dirty it!"

"YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE!" She shouted, throwing a nearby pebble with mud on it at him.

"HOW DARE YOU DIRTY ME, YOU NAUGHTY GIRL!" He cried, vigorously wiping the mud off.

"Pfft…That sounded so wrong…"

"Gold, WHAT DID I TELL YOU?"

"AHA! Here we are- the perfect first game- charades!" Blue exclaimed as she revealed a box full of charade cards, which took her a ridiculously long time to find so that the author could add in some random dialogue tidbits.

"…We have to play this, don't we…" Green sighed.

"What did you expect, a choice?" Blue laughed maniacally, throwing her head back.

"No, I expected that you would have paralyzed me and tied me to the back of your blastoise again."

"Why Greenie, that can easily be arranged, just for you~!"

"…Hand me a damn card."


Blue

The game went quite well, according to Blue. She was able to make several of them feel awkward, and Green had cursing fits two or three times. Yes, by her standards, that was success.

She took a time check frequently, however, knowing that they were all hungry, and that they needed to get the food so that phase two of the plan could commence.

It wasn't until after playing 45 minutes of charades that Silver arrived, hot dog packages piled in his arms, as well as the arms of his feraligatr. They both looked very tired and very annoyed. Blue clapped her hands together.

"FINALLY," Sapphire cried, jumping up from her spot and snatching a few packages of hot dogs. "For me and my team!" She tore open a package and threw a few hot dogs at Toro.

With super fast reflexes, the blaziken seized them, then threw them up in the air and lightly roasted them with a small ember attack. Rono caught them all on a spike on his paw, and began passing them out to Sapphire and her team.

Gold jumped up at this.

"Great idea, wild girl! Aitaro, Sutaro, let's grab some packages! Get your flames ready, Explotaro!" Explotaro nodded at Gold, but Blue jumped in front of him and his Pokémon, arms spread wide.

"HOLD IT!"

"AH!" He fell backwards, landing on the ground. Blue glared at down at him, and he sweat-dropped.

"We are roasting them properly, by using wire hangers and the campfire. Otherwise it ruins some of the fun of camping~!" She said, winking.

"But-!"

" Silver, hand out the dogs, please~."

"Sure, big sis. Gold goes last." He gave a glare.

"No fair! Wild girl got to roast weenies with her fire Pokémon!"

"HAHA! Sucks for you, ya weenie!"

"I WILL draw a lunatone eye on your head, unorthodox kid!" Gold said, pulling a marker out from nowhere.

"STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!"

And, while Gold and Emerald had their second slap fight for the day, Silver passed hot dogs out to everyone else, going in the circle. Red, Yellow, Green, Crystal, (skipped Gold), Ruby, Sapphire, (skipped Emerald) and some for himself and Blue.

"Thanks, lil' bro!" Blue winked at Silver, giving him thumbs up. She was happy to see him give a small smile after knowing that he was appreciated.

Crystal was puzzled, however.

"I thought that Gold and Emerald always got along well. What happened? They always had this odd connection through their arrogance." The blue haired girl questioned, preparing her hot dogs on some wires.

Blue looked at the two slap-fighting boys after putting several hot dogs on a wire. She watched as they fought needlessly, and smiled.

Blue knew why.

But with Crystal's indifference for that type of thing, she wouldn't understand.

The oldest of the Dex Holders gazed abound the campfire. All nine of these people meant so much to her… And that's why she had to do this, to give this little nudge. She was certain Green had already figured out her plan, and that Silver knew mostly of what was going to occur, but there were some things that they would never guess until it happened.

And that's how Blue likes to handle things.

Sure, she could just as easily be a normal teenage girl now, like what Green had said, but there were two big things that kept her from that, not including that she just wouldn't be satisfied sipping tea and watching TV, or whatever normal people do.

Firstly, she's a Dex Holder. Once a Dex Holder, one will always be singled out, always have things happen to them, from what they've seen so far. As a matter of fact, Blue can already sense that something big is going to happen in Johto sometime soon- another reason for her frequent visits there, to see what is going on, and make sure that it won't be too big for Silver, Gold, and Crystal to handle themselves. Also, since she's singled out, it's hard for her to do 'normal' teenage girl things, which calls for knowledge on the subject. But wait- didn't Green mention something about sleepovers? Blue highlighted that in her mind, noted to keep it for later.

Secondly, her past certainly plays a large part. Since she was one of the Masked Children, she can never truly heal the scars she'd gotten from serving Pryce, and from living without real parents or guardians for so long. Doing normal things would be too uncomfortable, unfamiliar. She still was visiting her parents often, naturally, but being 19 now, she didn't stay there permanently, constantly traveling and keeping several bases around Kanto and some in Johto (with thoughts on having one in Hoenn, and maybe even Sinnoh). She spoke of the 'normal stuff' issue once to Silver, and the red haired boy shared the same feelings on the subject of doing 'normal' things.

Of course, he has plenty to do still, not including the missions she sends him on. The silver eyed boy still had much about his past that needed to be solved, what with Giovanni being his father. Sometimes Blue merely sent him on missions to keep his mind off of worrying about it, something he does constantly. Yes, but Blue knows that she can't prevent the inevitable, that he will have to face his past, and everything about his father once again.

That brings her to why she was doing this camping trip in the first place. She wanted to help Silver have something in life that didn't relate to his past, to his father. Sure, she decided to kill multiple birds with one stone by helping all of her dear friends at once (well, most of them).

But, basically, this whole thing- all the crazy camping stuff and the insane location- was for Silver.

She had to be extremely secretive about it so that he wouldn't catch on, though. So after talking with Emerald, she gave him the idea of the camping trip out of his concern over Crys' workaholic behavior. Thus, how she created Camp PokéSpe.

From what she can tell so far, Silver is buying her reasons for the trip, but if she let's just one thing slip, she knows he'll become suspicious and start investigating.

And that would ruin all the fun for Blue. It takes a lot to be cheerful after all that's happened to her, but she's gotten the hang of it. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

As Blue hummed happily to herself, eating well-cooked hot dogs with her Pokémon and friends, Gold and Emerald stopped their fight. The two impulsive guys froze when they realized that everybody- including their own Pokémon- were eating hot dogs without them. They angrily shouted in unison:

"HEY! LEAVE SOME WEENIES FOR US!"

Later that night…

They'd all been particularly sleepy tonight, after filling up on hot dogs and exchanging stories of all genres, and all of them fell straight to sleep upon reaching their sleeping bags that Blue had prepared for them.

Except for three.

"Now begins the real fun~!" Blue whispered to herself, rolling silently out of her sleeping bag. Sapphire, Yellow, and Crystal were all fast asleep as she crept out. It made her think of sleepovers. Well, what she'd heard about them.

She made sure that they'd listened to her about placing their Pokémon inside their pokéballs in the specified location- all except for ChuChu, of course- and then disappeared from the tent.

She was greeted outside by the faces of two people, one that was very annoyed, and another that was very proud of himself. Blue sighed, adjusting her woolen blue scarf.

"It was always going to come to this, huh, guys?" She whispered. The Kanto girl had her hands on her hips as she looked at both Emerald and Gold.

"I knew you were up to something, sempai. I'm surprised that Silver isn't here, though. Or in his sleeping bag, for that matter." The black haired boy said, very relaxed despite the 'sneaky' and 'spy-like' atmosphere. Emerald glared at him.

"Of course he's not, he isn't included in the- wait, he's not there? Where is he, then?" The blonde on stilts said, shocked. But Blue wasn't surprised at this fact, either.

"I expected as much from him. But my plan is foolproof- he won't get out of it, no matter where he ran off to." The girl said quietly, scanning the area as she spoke. Suddenly, something flashed past her vision out of the corner of her eye. She turned quickly to Emerald and Gold.

"Before we commence the plan, remember that the new PokéGear have IMing abilities, and that whatever happens. Now, get everybody to come outside by shouting about some kind of nonsense. Rald, if you please." Emerald handed Blue three pokéballs containing pidgeots, and took off for the edge of the clearing. She kneeled down behind a large bush. Watching from the shadows, she witnessed as Emerald and Gold began to have a loud verbal fight.

As the Dex Holders began to stir from the tents, Blue removed her scarf, which transformed into Ditty.

"You know what to do~." She said. Ditty dropped to the ground, and starting transforming once more.

It wasn't like her to be this reckless with the safety of her friends. But, she felt confident that this would work. She signaled silently to Ditty for it to go off on its solo mission.

"Look, now everyone is up! It's your fault, Gold!"

"Showtime~!" Blue sang, recognizing the cue. She jumped up, hurling the pidgeots' pokéballs into the air with a flourish.

"WHIRLWIND!"

The dust picked up as the three powerful bird Pokemon flapped their mighty wings. The strong winds slowly began to lift them up off of the ground, the tents staying in place, however.

"Wah!"

"What's happening?"

"OHOHO!" This is working perfectly! Soon, Ditty as a pidgeot will have found Silver, and he too will- But she stopped as she saw Silver rounding the corner, several noctowls and Ditty following close behind him.

"Run to the campsite!" The red-head cried, his sneasel running wide-eyed beside him. The noctowls screeched loudly, and Blue felt herself being forced over to the clearing.

But that was all she heard and saw before blacking out.

Emerald

It was true- the plan didn't go as planned. The pidgeots had specific orders, and were trained to whirlwind certain people to specific locations.

Emerald could tell it went bad, because he wasn't supposed to be included in the being one of the whirlwind victims… or so he thought. Now that he was hanging upside-down in a tree, he was starting to believe that Blue might've included him in the victims list, too. How could the pidgeots not pick him up in that giant whirlwind?

He grumbled to himself as he tried getting his pants and stilts uncaught from the branches, which were very hard to see at this time of night. As he struggled with it, he felt his Pokédex begin to slip out of his pocket.

"No!" He reached for it, but he wasn't fast enough. The Dex fell from the tree in slow motion, Emerald yelling and shaking his head in slow-mo, too, until it was caught by a figure below. His heart skipped a beat. It was a female figure, from what he could see in his position. His hopes soared. Is it Miss Crys…?

"That was close, wasn't it? You should be more careful about this, Emerald. It's not something that should break." Emerald froze as he recognized the voice- one that he was not hoping for at all.

"Dammit, of all people, why do I have to be stuck with you?" Emerald shouted, struggling in the tree. RRIPP! His pants ripped on the heel, and he crashed through the branches and onto the forest floor. He looked up with utter annoyance at his companion he was stuck with. The person leaned down to look at Emerald.

"Dear me, those clothes need some mending- good thing I sewed an outfit for you the other day~! The Three Conquerors will be matching, now!"

"Keep your girly crap away from me, Ruby!"


Well, here's another chapter- a bit later than I said, sorry… But I've got a ton of stuff to do lately, and it's killing me! Please don't expect another chapter 'till after November ends- I committed myself to NaNoWriMo, and I only have 2,000 words for that story- not even close to half of what I need…

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Coming up- the bonding times begin, but who got stuck with who? And what exactly was Blue's plan? Find out on the next chapter of Camp PokéSpe!
