Chapter Four: Crystal

"I still feel bad about this," Emerald muttered under his breath.

Soul put a hand on his shoulder. "We'll be fine. Ruby and Sapphire need you more right now."

Behind him in the front of the Pokemon Center, Diamond and Pearl were finishing attaching a few saddlebags onto Platinum's Rapidash while the dark-haired girl was making plans with Ruby. Gold and Silver were helping Sapphire make sure she had everything they'd need in the bags hanging from her Tropius. In the meantime, Soul was by my side trying to convince Emerald that everything would be fine.

"But what if someone randomly attacks you again?" He asked with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow. "We never figured out who it was."

I sighed loudly and pushed him over towards Ruby and Sapphire. "It'll be okay! What's important right now is finding Yellow."

The blonde nodded reluctantly. Over on the Tropius, Sapphire and Silver jumped down from the Pokemon's back before the latter turned back to help Gold. The hothead refused his assistance, though, and leapt down himself, stumbling a little as he landed. The redhead glared at him just as Ruby and Platinum nodded their heads.

"So you three will head for Blackthorn City to investigate while Sapphire and Emerald come with me to search Violet City," Ruby went over with her.

She nodded. "We will try to get there as soon as possible."

Diamond and Pearl unfolded a map between them, and Platinum hopped on her Rapidash as the three of them set off. As Gold and I had listened to everyone yesterday, we'd found out that we were residing in the Azalea Town Pokemon Center, so those three were going to head to the outskirts of New Bark Town before turning north to climb up the hills of Route 45. Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were going to travel back the way we'd come to Violet City as well but riding on Pilo through the air instead for a faster trip.

Emerald turned back to me with a frown. "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

I sighed again and pulled out Xatee's Pokeball. "I will be just fine. Here, Xatee will help make it easier for you to get to Violet City. Take good care of her, okay?"

He nodded and took the Pokeball. "You know I will." In exchange for my Pokemon, he handed me one of his Pokeballs. "Snorlax might come in handy later on. I'll take her back when we meet up again."

I smiled in agreement as Ruby and Sapphire started calling for him. He released my Xatu, and Gold and Silver came to my and Soul's side as the Hoenn trio lifted off and set to the skies. We watched them become dots in the far distant blue until Soul let out a sigh and smiled distantly at them.

"With any luck they'll get some leads on Yellow's whereabouts," she said hopefully.

I nodded. All Blue had been able to tell us yesterday evening was that Yellow was in Johto. There were currently three major concentrations of Team Rocket members according to the tracker; one to the north of Blackthorn City, one to the east of Violet, and another in the depths of the Ilex Forest. That one was our responsibility to look into once Gold's knee had healed. Any of them could be the site where they were holding Yellow; it was our job to figure out which one.

I sighed. "So now what?"

Gold smirked and linked arms. "We explore Azalea Town!"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Aren't you supposed to be resting your knee?"

He waved his hand. "Psht! I've been doing that for the past couple of days! It's about time that I started working the kinks out of it!"

I rolled my eyes, glancing over to find that Soul was watching me with a blank face. "What?"

She smirked to herself and pulled on Silver's arm. "Let's go exploring, too!"

The redhead was about to protest, but she latched onto him and ran off, leaving me and Gold with still linked arms. He turned to me with a toothy grin.

"So where are we off to first?" He asked cheerfully.

My lips quirked, and I started dragging him back into the Pokemon Center. "To your bed so you can rest your knee."

He let out a whine. "Come on, Super Serious Gal!" He dug his heels into the ground and forced me to stop. "I've been sitting for way too long! And so have you! Let's just take a walk!"

I scrutinized his pleading eyes before sighing. "You may have a point…"

He grinned and grabbed my wrist. "Let's go!"

A yelp escaped my lips as he copied Soul and started running through Azalea Town. His grip was tight as he sprinted along the streets. The town itself wasn't too big, but there was a main street lined with cute little shops on either side of the road. He pulled me into the nearest one, the bell ringing as we stepped into the store. One look at the glass cases around us told us all we needed to know.

Gold stuck his tongue out. "A jewelry store…"

I rolled my eyes and glanced at the cases. Most of what they had to offer were wedding rings, but being a jewelry store that was expected. Walking along, I observed the various gemstones and metals with light interest while Gold leaned against the wall near the front door. He was making it obvious that he wanted to leave, but I ignored and made him wait.

I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, but after five minutes of looking around, my eyes happened to chance upon something that immediately sparked my interest. Peering closely through the glass, my eyes widened at what I'd found.

It was a single silver star on a matching chain, the five points outlined in a line of gold that twisted in and out from the center of the star. The pendent was nothing fancy, but then again that was probably why it appealed to me so much at first sight.

"Crys…" Gold suddenly whined from behind me.

I quickly turned around to him and sighed. "I know, I know. Let's go to the next store."

He smiled in delight and led the way out. I gave the star one last glance before putting it behind me and following him. Despite how much I liked it, there was no way I could afford it right now. Besides, we were just window shopping today.

Gold proceeded to take us into every store that lined the main street. There was an art shack, a sports store, and a thrift shop which he absolutely loved. He made us stop for a good half hour just to try on random clothes that he found around the store. When he emerged from the dressing room for the twenty-fourth time (yeah, I was counting), he grinned from beneath the gangster hat that was covering half of his face.

"Come on, Super Serious Gal!" He walked over to me with crossed arms. "Don't just sit there like a Snorlax; try something on!"

I sighed. "Gold, there's no point in this. It's not like we're going to buy anything."

He rolled his eyes. "There doesn't have to be a point. We're just having fun!"

I raised an eyebrow. "This is fun?"

He ran over to a rack of clothes that he tore off and dumped into my arms. "Just try it!"

I glanced at the clothes uncertainly, but he pulled me out of my chair and thrust me into a different changing room. I spread the random articles apart from each other and tried to put them together to create something at least decent. In the end, though, it was just a random matchup of things thrown together.

When I opened my door and walked out, the first thing I heard was Gold laughing. Frankly, I didn't blame him. I was wearing a garish Hawaiian-styled shirt with a giant Eskimo hat, combat boots, and cargo shorts.

"See?" He chuckled. "Isn't this fun?"

I glared. "Not particularly."

He waved me on. "Then try a different one!"

I sighed. "Can't I choose my own clothes to try on?"

He grinned cheekily. "Nope!"

Frowning slightly, I went to the rack and held back a laugh as I pulled a few things off and handed them to him. "Fine. Then you have to try on what I pick for you."

He took one look at the clothes and shook his head. "No way. Nope."

I smirked. "But if I can't choose my clothes, then that means you can't either right?"

His jaw dropped. "Don't use my words against me!"

I chuckled lightly as he snatched the clothes, sitting down to wait for him to change. After a few minutes, he poked his head out and frowned. "There. You happy now?"

I shook my head. "No, you have to come out here and show me."

He growled slightly and emerged. And then it was my turn to bust out laughing. He was fitted in one of those old cream colored dresses with the puffy sleeves and frills sewed on everywhere. He had a fur shawl wrapped around his arms and one of those flapper feathers stuck in his hair above his ear.

"Where're the heels?" I managed to ask between laughs.

His eyes narrowed. "I'm a guy. We don't do heels."

I pointed at the hideous gown. "Oh, but you do dresses?"

He cursed under his breath as I continued laughing. I took a picture with the new-versioned Pokegear that I'd bought at one of the previous stores since mine had been ruined during the storm. Gold had gotten one, too, and he used it then to check the time.

"Yeah, yeah, it's about time we got going," he muttered before running back into the stall to change.

I forced myself to stop chuckling and do the same. By the time I was coming out again, Gold had put all the clothes back and was waiting in the chair for me. He was glaring slightly, and I shrugged with a smile before hanging my own clothes back up. Readjusting my bag on my shoulder, I turned to find that he had followed, and we made our way for the front door.

Out on the street, more people were filling the sidewalks as the afternoon grew later and the sun began to sink. We'd been to almost every store now, so Gold turned to me.

"Any idea where to go now?" He asked.

I tilted my head in thought. "We're in Azalea Town?"

"Yeah," he answered curiously.

I checked my bag for Apricorns and nodded. "Let's go see Kurt."

Red

I couldn't stop myself from pacing around the research room of Professor Oak's lab. We'd all traveled to Pallet Town once the professor had gotten back on Friday, and it hadn't taken long for him and Green to figure out how to expand the tracker. Black and White had come back with us as well, and even though her company didn't like it, the girl had requested to take another month off to help us out. Thankfully, she'd been granted permission, and the two were currently at the lab with the rest of us. Including Amber.

The thought of my brother made me pace all the more.

"He's helping us," I muttered lowly, still in disbelief.

I almost thought it was a trick when he'd first suggested it. He tried to kidnap Yellow, so who could blame me for not believing him? But when Professor Oak and Green said that the tracker idea had actually worked, I'd had to rethink this over. So now I was faced with having to decide whether or not my brother was bad along with trying to figure out which Team Rocket site Yellow was at.

I angrily tugged my foot against the chain that was linking it to a steel table. Oh yeah, not to mention they wouldn't let me go help rescue Yellow.

I fumingly leaned against the steel table on my elbows. It was the same one that Green and I had used when we were trying to figure out how to open Amber's TR necklace. Blue and Green were over by the computer we'd used to kill the virus inside the tracker. They heard me struggling against the chain and turned to look at me.

"Red," Green muttered lowly.

"You know you can't go," Blue murmured sadly.

I frowned. "Give me one reason why!"

Blue gestured at my raging aura. "Look at you! You're nothing like yourself! You're letting your anxiety and anger get the best of you! If you can't keep control over your emotions, you won't do any good in getting her back!"

I shut my mouth at that, not wanting to admit that she was right.

"Just calm down," Green said smoothly.

I took a deep breath, laying my head atop my arms on the table. "Okay I'm calm. Can I go now?"

"No," he said flatly.

I bolted up and clenched my teeth. "Why not?!"

He raised an eyebrow and pointed at me. "Look. I just ignited your anger again with one word. You're not calmed down yet."

I sighed heatedly and collapsed onto the floor. Blue tilted her head sympathetically and sat down beside me. "Hey, just hang on. Since when do things not turn out right for us?"

I gave a huff, and she ruffled my hair. My hat was sitting on the table out of the reach of any wringing my hands might do to it. "You'll see. Everything will turn out just fine."

I simply nodded, and she got up to continue watching the movements on the tracker. Green moved aside a little to make room for her before turning to me. "Why don't you go check on Black and White? They've been watching Amber for a while now."

My jaw stiffened a bit. "Hm, but this chain…"

At that moment, Silver walked in as if Green had somehow summoned him. "Ready to go on Amber Watch?"

I nodded hesitantly, not sure whether or not I wanted to see my brother at the moment. Silver undid the chain at my ankle, and Green stared at me hard for a second before turning away with closed eyes. "He doesn't need it anymore. I think he gets the point now."

Silver blinked and nodded. He unwrapped it from the steel table and led the way out of the research room. He stuck the chain in a storage closet to deal with later, and I walked behind him as we headed for one of the back rooms Professor Oak used to store the various Pokeballs in his lab. The redhead opened the door, and the two of us froze at what we found inside.

"Okay, okay," Black chuckled. "You just twist your arm sideways…"

Silver eyes widened along with mine as we found that Black and White had their hands locked with Amber's, their arms twisted together above their heads.

"Like this?" Amber asked. He bent his arm to the right, poking White with his elbow.

"No," she laughed. "The other way!"

Silver frowned uncertainly. "What…are you guys…doing?"

The trio looked at us with wide eyes, and I crossed my arms. "And what is he," I directed at Amber, "doing out of his chair?"

They broke their arms apart from their detangling game, and Black frowned at me. "Red, he's been sitting in it for almost two days now. Sleeping included! Don't you think he should at least be able to stretch every now and then?"

I didn't say anything. Silver finally nodded for me after a minute. "Well, you guys are off duty now. Red and I will take it from here."

Black and White glanced hesitantly between Amber and I but slowly drifted out to see what Green and Blue needed them to do. Silver shut the door behind them, and Amber awkwardly sat back down in his chair. He held the rope that was usually tied around him up to me, and I bit my lip before turning to Silver.

"Would you, uh…" I trailed off.

He stared at me for a second before understanding what I meant. "Oh, sure."

Amber watched with wide eyes as the redhead walked out of the room, and I sat in a chair on the other side of the table he was sitting at.

"So…" He muttered uncertainly. "You're not going to tie me up?"

I gave him a hard look and sighed slightly. "No."

He blinked. "I'm surprised."

My eyes narrowed. "Did you really have nothing to do with Melany kidnapping Yellow?"

Amber nodded. "I've told you, Red. My original mission was to kidnap Yellow. I didn't want to do that anymore, though. When I went to tell Yellow that, I didn't realize that Melany had followed me." He looked down at the table. "I'm sorry."

I stared at him for a long time. Neither of us said anything. Amber glanced up at me, and I watched his golden orange eyes closely. Finally, after what seemed like an era of silence, I finally opened my mouth.

"I believe you."

Both our eyes widened in shock, and he stared harder at me. "B-But I thought…"

I shook my head, surprised at what I'd said. "Yeah, me too. I've believed that you were a liar this whole time." My thoughts drifted away for a second. "But…there are some things you just can't lie about."

Amber tilted his head slightly, and I sat back with a hand on my chin. I couldn't believe I was saying it, but Yellow was right. Sometimes you couldn't help but hear the truth behind someone's words. Maybe the only reason I'd refused to let myself accept it was that he was my rival when it came to her.

My eyes hardened at that thought, and he lifted an eyebrow. "What?"

My hand was covering my mouth, and I pulled it away. "How do you feel about Yellow?"

For a second he just looked blankly at me before chuckling to himself. "Oh yes, there was that."
I bristled. "Well?"

He laughed softly. "You have nothing to worry about."

My frustration was replaced with surprise. "What do you mean?"

"I discovered that I don't actually feel for her the same way you do," he explained gently.

I raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "How do I know that's true?"

His gaze went serious. "Because Yellow told me herself that it's you she cares about."

My eyes widened. "S-She did?"

He nodded. "Besides, I have someone that I held dear like you do her."

I tilted my head. "Held?"

His eyes fell. "Yeah, she, uh…she's…dead…"

For the first time in a while, I felt a pang of sympathy for my twin. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories."

He shook his head and smiled faintly. "It's fine. It's the least I can deal with after what I did to you guys."

After a moment, I smiled back at him. "You got that right."

His small smirk wavered. "What was that?"

I laughed, and he did so with me.

So, what does this mean? I thought silently. Am I friends with him again?

I glanced at his laughter and smiled slightly.

Maybe…just maybe…

Gold

Crystal was checking how many Apricorns she had as we approached Kurt's house. I had to grab her arm and pull the girl back to keep her from running into the front door.

"Try not to knock yourself out," I snickered at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Just ring the doorbell or something."

I racked my knuckles on the door as she zipped her bag up. There was a sound of footsteps from inside, and a second later the door opened up to reveal a small girl with dark hair.

"Can I help you guys?" She asked curiously.

"I'm Crystal," said girl explained with a smile, "and this is Gold. We were wondering if Kurt was here."

She turned to me, her eyes widening in recognition. "Oh yeah! You're the boy who caught me a Teddiursa a couple years ago!"

I grinned. "That's me! Is Kurt home?"

"Yeah, Grandpa's inside working on a Pokeball," she said cheerfully. "Come on in!"

She opened the door wider, and Crystal and I followed her inside where the elderly man was working intently on a strange multi-colored Pokeball. He heard the door close and looked up to find us standing there.

"Crystal," he smiled faintly, "and…Gold."

I frowned. "Good to see you, too, Kurt."

He stood up from his work and walked over to the little girl. "What can I do for you guys?"

Crystal reached into her bag and pulled out the Apricorns inside. "I was wondering if you could make some Pokeballs for me. It's been a while since I've stopped by to get some from you."

Kurt nodded and reached for the Apricorns. "I'd be happy to." The man turned to his granddaughter. "Maisy, would you take these to the back room for me?"

The dark-haired girl nodded and took the Apricorns before scampering off. "Sure, Grandpa!"

Kurt watched her go before turning back to Crystal. "I apologize, but they might not be ready for a couple days."

Crystal's eyes widened. "A couple days? But normally you'd be finished by tomorrow."

He nodded with a sigh. "I know, but I got a rare order from someone the other day, and it's taking me much longer than I thought it would."

"What'd they order?" I asked with a tilted head.

The man turned towards the Pokeball he'd been working on and beckoned to us to follow. "It's a strange request, I might add. I've never had one like it before."

"What makes it so different?" Crystal asked in confusion.

He picked up the partially-done Pokeball and showed it to us. "The person asked me to make it out of all seven Apricorns."

My eyes widened. "All seven? Is that even possible?"

Kurt nodded slowly. "I can do it. It just takes a little bit of creative thinking and careful cutting."

"Why would someone ask for one like that?" Crystal pondered quietly.

"I asked the same thing," Kurt murmured, "but all they said was that it will make the Pokeball more durable." He sighed. "I would have completed it by now, but I realized halfway through that I was missing a Pink and Black Apricorn. Without them, I can't finish this project."

Crystal put a finger to her chin. "If I'm right, there should be a Pink and Black Apricorn tree just outside of Azalea Town on Route 33."

"You're right," Kurt said in thought. "I would go, but I don't have the time. I need to finish making the part of the Pokeball with the Apricorns I have, and Maisy is busy training her Teddiursa." He turned to us. "Would you two mind fetching them for me?"

Crystal smiled. "Of course not!" She looked at me, slightly worried. "Is your knee bothering you?"

I kicked it out. "Nope! It'll be just fine."

She looked at me suspiciously but eventually nodded. "Alright, we'll be back later then, Kurt!"

He waved good-bye to us as we walked back outside and headed for the other side of town. After a while, we made our way onto the route and began searching for the Apricorn trees.

"So, what exactly are we looking for?" I asked uncertainly.

Crystal parted the tall grass in front of her. "A cone-shaped tree. The Apricorns are bright so you should be able to see them easily."

I followed through the field behind her, sighing in annoyance. "Super Serious Gal, this isn't fun at all."

She huffed and glared back at me. "Well, we told Kurt we'd do it so deal with it."

"No, you said that we would do it," I pointed out. "So that means you have to make it fun."

She rolled her eyes. "How am I supposed to make this fun?"

I smirked in thought and ran ahead of her to crouch in front of the tall grass. "Well, for example, we could pretend to be spies," I suggested, parting the grass slowly and sneakily.

Crystal watched me with a sweatdrop. "Gold, that's just silly."

My eyes widened at what I found behind the grass. "I don't think so. Look at what I just found."

I smirked as Crystal came up beside me and watched in surprise as Soul bounced through the meadow of tall grass about fifty feet ahead of us with a reluctant Silver behind her. At one point, she stopped her gait and plopped down in the field.

"Come on," I grinned, grabbing Crystal's hand and sneaking towards them. "Let's play spies!"

She tried to protest, but I shushed her as we got closer. She glared at me but stayed quiet as we crouched down to avoid being seen. I grinned evilly and slightly parted the grass so we could see Soul and Silver ahead of us.

"Why don't you just sit down and relax for once?" Soul asked with puffed cheeks.

The redhead frowned at her. "I don't relax."

She rolled her eyes. "I can tell." When he simply nodded and stuffed his hands in his pockets, she reached a hand out and pulled him to the ground. "Maybe you should try it once in a while."

He glared at her. "Who are you to tell me what I should do?"

She shrugged. "I'm not. All I'm saying is that you look like you could use some time to wind down."

He sighed angrily and crossed his arms and legs. "Why are you even here? Did you really have to follow me all the way from Olivine City?"

The brunette giggled. "I've already told you! I wanted to see Gold! It's been a long time since I last talked to him."

Silver turned to look at her. "You're neighbors, right? Why didn't you just go see if he was at home?"

Soul raised an eyebrow. "You think I haven't already tried that? He hasn't really been home as of lately."

He rubbed the back of his neck. "We've been kind of busy."

She nodded. "I see you guys have made a lot of friends."

I realized that she meant all the juniors that had come to visit, and Silver looked up at the sky. "Yeah, Gold, Crystal, and I met them all at a reunion about a month ago."

Soul looked down at her hands in her lap. "She and Gold are very close aren't they?"

Beside me, Crystal's eyes widened, and Silver turned to the brunette. "Yes."

She tore off a piece of grass and started twisting it in knots. "What's she like?"

"She's smart, athletic, extremely serious, and tends to harp on Gold a lot." He eyed her curiously. "Why do you ask?"

She smiled faintly. "Oh, no reason in particular." Her fingers gently wove the grass together. "I just wanted to know. I like puzzles and watching them fit together."

Silver nodded slowly. "Well, I'm afraid that these certain puzzle pieces might not fit together in the end."

Soul looked at him and smiled. "Guess we'll just have to wait and see, now won't we?"

He didn't respond, and Crystal and I looked at each other with wide eyes. Ever so slowly, we backed away from the two so that they wouldn't notice us. Once we were in the clear, we straightened up and glanced at them in the distance.

"Had your fun now?" Crystal asked with narrowed eyes.

I nodded with a blank face. "Let's go find those Apricorn trees."

She went back to parting the grass, and I went back to following her through it. Again I could feel boredom slowly creeping up on me and was about to sigh when she finally came to a stop.

"Here they are," she said proudly.

In front of her were two trees, one sporting a bright pink Apricorn and the other an Apricorn as dark as night. I dashed around her to the dark one and picked it just as she plucked the other one. I reached back to the tree for more and stopped short when I realized that there wasn't more.

"Where are the rest of them?" I questioned, jerking my head around the tree trying to find the others.

"Gold," Crystal explained, "there's only one per tree. If we were to come back tomorrow, there should be another one."

I nodded, my mind wandering in thought as I handed her the Apricorn. "Hey, what do you think Silver and Soul were talking about back there?"

Crystal paused momentarily. "I…I don't know. It sounded like puzzles."

"Hm," I hummed as we started walking back towards Kurt's house.

She glanced up at me. "What?"

I tapped my chin. "I feel like there was something more to it. You know, premonition so to say."

The blunette watched her feet as we walked. "I guess it's possible."

I gasped. "You don't think they were talking about themselves?!"

Crystal raised her eyebrow. "Eh?"

"They were being all ominous and talking about puzzle pieces fitting together," I said dramatically. "I think there's something going on between them!"

She narrowed her eyes at me. "Where do you come up with these ideas?"

I grinned cheekily, and she listened to my possible theories as we came up to Kurt's cottage. He answered the door upon our knocking and gratefully took the two Apricorns.

"Thank you," he told us. "In exchange, I'll make sure I get your Pokeballs done by tomorrow."

Crystal waved her hand. "It's alright. It may be a while, but I'll be sure to remember to stop by and pick them up."

Kurt shook his head. "It'll be my thanks. Now you two run along; it's starting to get late."

Crystal nodded her thanks, and I checked my new Pokegear for the time as we headed back to the Pokemon Center. "He's right. It's almost six." She nodded, and I put the small device away. "But anyways, back to more important business!" I grinned evilly. "How to poke fun at Soul and Silver."

Crystal gave me a look. "I'd be careful. Silver might not like that."

I laughed. "Oh, Silvy will get over it! Besides, he's the one who decided to just talk about it in the open like that!"

She watched me as I schemed in my head, blushing slightly as she looked away. "It might not have been him and Soul that they were talking about…"
