Important: This chapter originally was going to introduces the main characters teams inside it, but when I wrote them releasing them all, it was boring and didn't really flow well, so I'm going to list them here. Still under rewrite.

"I take it you don't like the media," Cynthia groan as she stood up after the quick teleportation, and looked around to see the quiet town of Pallet.
"They always ruin my traveling," Red said irritated. He had hoped that after three, technically five, years on that Arceus forsaken mountain it would have been something like 'What has he done lately?', but apparently he was wrong. He then looked around to see if anyone was hurt, but noticed somthing on Leaf's finger, a wedding ring. He then looked at Gary hand to see the ring's mate, "You're married?!" He all but shouted.
"Yes, Red and nothing-" Leaf began as Red walked over to Gary.
"Come here brother-in-law!" Red said pulling Gary into a hug. "If you hurt my baby sister in any way, I'm going to come after you with a bat, understand?" He whispered low enough so only his rival could hear him.
"Yeah...but you're twins, dumbass," Gary said quietly.
"I was the first to be born, remember: hurt Leaf and get a bat up your ass," Red muttered as he broke the hug, "I'm going home," he said leaving.
"Wait up, we're coming with you," Brock called as he, Sabrina, and Mewtwo followed after him
Emily looked around around, "This place isn't a very populated place, is it?"
"No, thankfully. Most of the people here works at Professor Oak's lab," Leaf said pointing to a four story building to the south, "That's pretty much why people come here...and to see were Red came from," she said the last part with displeasure clearly in her voice.
"Do you hate that he gets that kind of attention?" Cynthia asked, not knowing that she entered forbidden territory.
"Yes. It is because of those people my brother went up that frozen hell called Mt. Silver. Those motherfuckers ruined our journey. It was never about becoming the best or the fans for Red, it was about seeing the world and the different pokemon it held. But, as a person who doesn't really talk a lot and feels uncomfortable around huge group, all that goes to hell when microphones are shoved in his face, and people start crowding around him," Leaf said with venom in her voice. She then calmed down a little, "Sorry...it just that as his twin sister, I want to see him at his happiest, and that was when we were on the road. Come on, let's go to the house, we can figure out what we're going to do as a group."
Red knocked on the door and heard his mother voice from inside, "Red?! Is that really you?!" The door swung open, and a blue haired woman stepped outside and quickly pulled her son into her arms and held him tight, knocking Chu off Red's head in the process.
"I can't breathe, loosen your grip," Red managed to say.
"If I do that, then I may lose you again," she said as tears of joy started to appear, "Did the pokemon you had with you take care of you up there?"
"Yes. Seriously, you're killing me here. You don't have to let go, but loosen up!"
After a few minutes his mother finally let go, "You're not going back up there again, are you?"
"There is a reason I came down...but it can wait...hopefully," he said kneeling down and placing the small electric mouse back on his head.
"What do you mean by that?" His mother asked, bothered by the "hopefully" he said at the end.
"It really can wait for now, Red is being a little paranoid, Margaret," Brock said.
"I see...I was cooking dinner so I have to get back to it. Oh, and I already put out some clothes for you in your room, Red," She said going back into the house.
"I can help you with that, and mix up some food for the pokemon," Brock said following her.
"That's my mother, don't hit on her..." He said following after him, a dangerous look growing in his crimson eyes.
"I don't hit on my friends' relatives. You know that," Brock said before entering the kitchen.
"Do not worry Red, we will keep an eye on him," Sabrina said, and Mewtwo nodded. Chu jumped off his head and sat on a brown couch looking at the 55" flat screen television with its eyes wide.
"It shouldn't be a problem, I trust him...thanks," Red said going upstairs. Sabrina looked around the living room and saw a clear coffee table surrounded by a brown loveseat, the couch, and a tan recliner. She also saw several pictures hanging on the wall. The door opened and the others walked in.
"Hey Sabrina, Mewtwo, Chu, where is Brock and Red?" Leaf asked sitting by Chu.
"Brock is in the kitchen cooking with your mother, and Red is getting changed," Mewtwo answered telepathically.
"Don't see why the chatterbox gotta get changed. He got the same damned clothes, it like he cloned them off an original set and enlarged them as he got older," Gary scoffed, "No offense Mewtwo."
"None taken," The clone stated, before it turned to see Cynthia looking hard at it, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's just...I've never seen anything like you before," She responded.
"That Mewtwo, he's a clone of Mew, " Red said coming down the stairs wearing newer looking versions of what he had on before. Red then placed Chu on top of his head.
"Pika pi pikachu?" Chu looked down into its master eyes and pointing to the television.
"No, we're not putting a TV that size on the mountain, if we go back," Red answered as he scratched behind Chu's left ear.
"Why do you keep your pikachu out?" Cynthia asked pointing at the small mouse.
"Chu never really liked the ball, and when I did put him in it...let's just say he didn't respond well," Red said as Chu jumped off his head and began sniffing at Cynthia.
They all settled down somewhere on the furniture after a few minutes, Mewtwo on a stool at the kitchen table, Sabrina ,Emily and Cynthia(with Chu sleeping in her lap) on the couch, Gary and Leaf on the loveseat, and Red was asleep in the recliner with the footrest out. After a while there was a knock at the door, Red quickly stood up. Gary stood up and went to the door, "Sit down, it probably gramps," he then peered out the window, Yeah, its gramps."
"Professor, what are you doing here?" Cynthia asked as Gary let him in.
"Well, Margaret invited me to dinner to celebrate Red returning to Pallet Town, and I couldn't refuse her," Oak replied.
Brock then entered the living room, "Dinner is ready outside. Oh, professor it is good to see you again."
"And you too, my boy," Oak said shaking the young man's hand. They all made their way outside, and the trainers released their pokemon to eat.
Cynthia and Emily couldn't help but stare at Red as he quickly cleared several plates, "How can a normal person eat that much so fast?" Emily asked in shock.
"Live on a damned mountain for basically six years, living off of vegetation...with a Snorlax, you'll be pretty hungry too," Red said through bites.
"Cynthia, dear, would you like some of the peas?" Margaret offered nicely.
"Thank you," Cynthia said taking the peas.
Red looked at Brock who was beside him and whispered, "What did you do?!"
"Why are you assuming I did something?" Brock whispered back.
"My family doesn't offer food to anyone at the table. Unless there is going to be a new member, but that only lasts a few months before and after they join the family, it is like an instinct," Red said pointing to Leaf as she stabbed Gary's hand with a fork.
"OUCH! What the hell, Leaf?! I'm your husband, and yet you stab my hand over a roll?!" Gary said as he wrapped his hand with a napkin
"You knew what you were marrying into, stop being a baby," She responded as if nothing had happened.
"I see...Your mother wanted to know why you came down, and I told her Cynthia was part of the reason," Brock said, "I guess your mother assumed that it was a romance type thing..."
"Oh, well you didn't lie..." Red said standing up, "Alright, I think it is time I told you all why I came down, some of you know why, while others have the general gist of it, and others have no clue what so ever," Red took a huge sigh, and began to tell them about the dream, and then the theory of what Team Recreation goals were. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the look of absolute horror in his mother's eyes.
"So you are going to try to stop them by yourselves?" She asked trying to calm down, "Do you know where their base is?"
"No."
"So you eight are going to try to fight them without any idea where their base is at?" Professor Oak asked.
"We are hoping that they are cocky and send out their leaders. Then we take the leaders out of the equation and the rest of the team will fall, too," Sabrina said, "They'll probably slip up eventually. Emily, is Chu still in the house asleep? Because by the looks of thing, he won't have anything to eat."
"I'll go check," Emily said getting up and entering the house.
"She was on Team Recreation before losing her memories, and plan B is basically by the time she gets her them back, she will still be on our side and will give us that information," Sabrina said taking a sip of her tea.
"I see..." Oak said as Emily and Chu came out of the house. The rest of the dinner was in silence. The silence was broken by a loud cawing. Everyone looked at the direction it came from to see the Legendary Bird, Moltres. The bird prepared to attack with Sky Attack.
"Well this is easy...Blastoise, Hydro Can-"
"Wait! Look!" Gary called out before he could finish. Red turned and saw several Electric pokemon surrounding the yard.
'Blastoise or the other water types won't be able to get their attacks off before they are hit by those electric pokemon attacks,' Red thought, he then noticed the others calling out orders to their pokemon and he did the same, "Scizor, use X-Scizor. Garchomp, Draco Meteor. Gardevoir, Confusion. Ninetales, Chu, and Blastoise, use Confuse ray, Thunder, and Hydro Cannon on Moltres."
Due to the amount of ground and rock types in the battle, the electric pokemon didn't stand a chance. The members of Recreation returned the fainted pokemon to their balls and ran, leaving only Moltres. Moltres fell to the ground after being hit by Blastoise's Hydro Cannon and Mewtwo's Psystrike.
"What is this?" Brock said picking up a machine that was on Moltres's head. The bird stood up and flew off after Red applied a Max Revive.
"It looks like what they tried to plant on Mewtwo," Sabrina stated, looking closely at it.
"Hey, gramps, do you mind taking a look at this?" Gary said taking the device and handed it to Professor Oak.
"Hmm, if I had to guess it controls the pokemon somehow...," Oak said as he examined the device, "Moltres actions supports this theory."
"Can we talk about this later? It is getting dark, and I'm pretty tired from sleeping on a pos bed the last six years," Red yawned and picked up Chu.
"Oh, of course," Oak said, "I'll study this tonight and get back to you on in tomorrow."
"Alright," Red said as he and the others returned the pokemon to their balls.
"We'll head home, and get back to you in the morning, too," Leaf said as she and Gary left. Red just nodded and went into the house. Once in his old room, he removed his cap and jacket and laid down with Chu lying down beside him, both going to sleep almost immediately.
There is chapter 4, hoped you enjoyed it.
Originally, next chapter was going to be the Moltres battle, but due to problems ending the chapter, and thanks to Electric beating Water, Water beating Fire, and Rock/Ground Beating Electric, it was the best way to go in my opinion. I must apologize though, most other Legendary battles will actually have...battles.
As for putting the teams at the start, it didn't flow right in the story, seemed better to put it in the author's notes at the beginning.
Realistically, the pokemon would more than likely just stop using a move than forget it all together, so i will probably write more than 4 attacks for a pokemon. That way, i don't have to worry about later on needing an attack for a plot device and the pokemon who learns it not have it.
For those who had read this before the rewrite, I took out the flashback and was going to replace it, but drew a blank every time i tried.
Also, I wrote that Red was not trying to be the best but it just kinda happened and climbed Mt. Silver to get away from the media, it is my take of why he was on Mt. Silver. It didn't mean that he didn't care about the badges and whatnot, just that they weren't as important to him as the actual traveling.
I think that is all for now, See you next time.
