Of Leaders, Elites, and Champs

Chapter Four: Why Couldn't We, Part Two: The Certain Someone

As Sapphire left Fortree City, Nagi couldn't help thinking about what she had told her earlier.

"Ya know my seniors, right? Well, one of them is super, super good at party planning, pranks, you know, that kind of stuff. I'll tell her your little secret, and before ya know it you and Mikuri-san will be fine!" Sapphire yelled.

"And how should I know that your senior is trustable?" Nagi replied with a skeptical look.

"Because...she's older than me, and she's been through much more than me, Rube, and Emerald combined! Come on, just leave it to me! You know what? I'm gonna delay the whole Battle Frontier thing. I'm taking Ruby to Kanto tomorrow! See ya!" the teen yelled as she began to fly away on Pilo.

Nagi sighed. "That Sapphire..." she muttered. "Oh well. I hope she really means what she says..."


Sapphire reached for her Pokegear after arriving at her father's lab and called Ruby, who picked up after the first ring.

"What? I'm busy training for those Contests in Sinnoh that I'm going to try when we go visit the region." he said angrily.

"Okay, well, Rube, we have a little change of plans." Sapphire spoke into the Pokegear. "Here's the deal: We're still going to Sinnoh, but I'm going to be in Kanto for a few days."

She heard a gasp over the line. "K-Kanto?! Why? I-I thought we were going to spend some time together peacefully without anybody disturbing us. Did something happen?" said Ruby.

"N-no, nothing. I just needa...discuss somethin' with Blue. You remember her, right? One of da seniors that we saved at the Battle Frontier." she continued.

"But why do you need to talk about something with them?"

"I'll explain later when we go, okay?! Now, I needa call them to tell them that I'm coming. So see ya later, Rube!" Sapphire hung up, and began dialing another number...Green's number.

"Hi, this is Green Oak, right? No, no, this is Sapphire. I'm yer senior, remember? Good. Now, listen up. I'm gonna be coming over to visit ya and the others..."


Meanwhile...

Mikuri sat inside a little office-like room in his quarters at the Hoenn League, listening to the news on the TV nearby.

"There has been a sudden attack by a group of people in black suits using a strange purple Pokemon in Unova. The cause is unknown, but a young man no older than twelve seems to have fought the perpetrators. Meanwhile, strange groups of men in bright orange suits have been spotted aroung Kalos..." the newscaster droned on and on. Mikuri then turned his attention away and began work on a gym report, when there was a knock on his office door. He opened it to find a security guard standing outside.

"You have a visitor. Not a challenger. She is waiting outside, in the rest area." the guard said monotonously.

Female visitor? Weird., he thought, as he made his way out of his quarters. He stopped suddenly, when he saw who was waiting.

"Nagi-san?!" he gasped.

The woman stood up, and walked closer.

"I haven't seen you in so long...Mikuri-san." she said furtively.


What the heck is Nagi doing while Mikuri's working? And what will happen during Sapph and Rube's trip to Sinnoh/Kanto? Stay tuned for the next chappie, which will be out along with a new story in Chapter Five and a continuation of Of Emolgas and Leaders in Chapter Six!

I do believe that Sapph was SOOOOO OOC in the first chapter. She had no accent, she was nice, and I really did not like the way I wrote her. Luckily, I made Rube right. And I said that White would be in this story, but I decided not to put her in and keep the Sinnoh trio and Gold (no Crys, sorry!) in the plot.

Preview for the new story:

The bright orange and golden trees lining Bellchime Trail swish in the breeze, as a young woman skips along with her bouncy pink Pokemon, toward the tall Bell Tower. Suddenly...bump! She bumps into a young man, wearing the ugliest blue sweater and pant getup she'd ever seen. And...he's blocking the door to the tower.

What happens next? Coming in a few days!

RMW2 out, and don't forget to R and R! :D
