A/N: And here's Chapter 4! So when I wrote this fanficton Pokemon X and Y has already come out and by the time I upload this Sun and Moon has been out as well. Even though this is a story based on Gen 2 characters I want to add the new elements of the future generations. For example Gold's team is gonna have a mixture of Pokemon from different generations. But Red's team will stay the same from the old games. Gotta keep some things old school, right? Anyways, onwards!
Chapter 4
"Are you sure you don't wanna stay in my lab with Silver and Lyra for the night?" Professor Oak asked.
"Nah I'll be fine." I slung my stuffed backpack over my shoulder. "Besides, I want her to trust me if I'm going to be the one retrieving her long lost son."
"Alright then, Gold. Remember, we are all meeting here at eight in the morning, so get some rest, all of you. Goodnight."
"Goodnight!" I waved and Lyra and Silver as I exited out the lab.
Red's mother let me stay the night. She offered Red's room to me. Professor Oak offered for me to stay in his lab with Lyra and Silver, but I declined. He already had Lyra and Silver staying over, and I didn't wanna put extra weight on the old guy.
"Red's room is upstairs, first door on your left. Bathroom is right across." His mother said.
"Alright. Um are you sure it's ok for me to sleep in your son's room?" I hesitated.
"I'm sure he won't mind, and I certainly don't. Now get some rest honey, you'll need it."
"Okay goodnight Ma'am." I walked up the stairs and to the first door to my left. I stopped in front of the door to Red's room. Why am I feeling so nervous? Is it because I'm going to sleep in a legend's room whom I've never met before? I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. The low creak made my heart skip. I felt like I was in a horror movie.
Red's room was pretty much a typical boy's room. There was an old, red oval shaped rug in the middle in front of the TV and playstation system. His laptop was closed and looked like it hasn't been touched in ages. There was an old, fading green Pokémon poster of a smiling Pikachu and surrounded by many different pokeballs. The shelf next to his computer had tons of Pokémon picture and coloring books. His bed was simple with a white pillow and a plain white blanket with white sheets. I dropped my bag on the rug next to the play station.
"This looks ancient," I muttered at the old styled desktop.
I decided to contact my other best friend Calem from Kalos via pokegear. We met through an online game two years back. He lived in the Kalos region which was quite far from Kanto and Johto so we never met in person. Of course, I wanted to visit sometime. I was planning to go after I collected my sixteen badges, but this mission came first. We'd always exchange our stories of our travels since he was a Pokémon trainer too. His friend and rival Serena became the champion of Kalos. Apparently they had a terrorist group similar to Team Rocket called Team Flare who idolized only money and a beautiful world, but would eliminate Pokémon and anyone who disagrees. Calem and his friends managed to defeat Team Flare and they were recognized as heroes, much like me and Lyra. I'm glad to know there are other champions out there for me to challenge. Calem and I promised to battle one day when we finally met. I planned to use my Sylveon, a fairy type Pokémon and eeveelution he sent to me for my birthday. She was one of my best friends now and I hold her dear as a friend and as a gift.
I decided to call Calem and tell him about my most dangerous mission yet.
"Hello? Gold? Hey how are you!" Calem answered. His hologram appeared and he seemed to be in his room on the computer.
"Hey Calem! Sorry I haven't called in a few days, I was hung up on travels to meet Professor Oak since it was urgent." I said.
"Nah don't sweat it, I understand. We trainers have a lot on our plates, don't we?"
"Yeah I concur," I sighed, exhausted from today.
"Hey uh, where are you right now? That sure doesn't look like your room. Are you at a friend's house?"
"Not exactly. The reason I called has to do why I'm here,"
"Oh really? What is it?"
I told him of the whole ordeal of how I met up with Professor Oak and he and his grandson asked for a favor. I told him of the legendary missing champion Red and how I was the only one who is able to retrieve him on the dangerous and freezing Mt. Silver.
"Whoa man! Are you sure you wanna do this?" A worried expression came upon his face. "This sounds pretty scary. Even Serena would hesitate to go there… Not saying you can't do it, but you sure you're up for this? Want me to get a plane ticket so I can come over there and accompany you?"
"What? No, no! I'll be fine. I've got my Pokémon with me including your Sylveon. I trust them and they trust me. Plus it's my duty, as an owner of sixteen badges and whatnot. I wouldn't want to get any of my friends involved. I'd be a wreck if you got hurt." I said waving my hands nervously.
"Well alright then. Good luck finding the guy, you'll need it. Anyways Ima head out now and you need some rest, so g'night Gold." Calem waved.
"Thanks Cal'. Laters." I said and signed off.
Whew. I was really tired. I decided to head to the bathroom first and then call it a night.
I remember being in a deep sleep when I felt a sudden weight jump onto my chest.
"OW! What the hell?" I quickly sat up.
A familiar pink Pokémon was sitting on top of me.
"Errghh, Sylveon…" I groaned. "Good morning girl," I scratched her soft ears and she purred.
I haven't needed to set my alarm on my pokegear ever since I got Sylveon from Calem. Every time I had to wake up early, she pounced on me before my alarm clock rang. In fact, she always worked better since she didn't have a snooze button.
I groaned and sat at the edge of my bed. Only I remembered this wasn't my bed. Or my room.
"Crap!" I said out loud remembering the situation I was in. I checked the time. 7:15. Alright I still got time. I quickly went into the bathroom to get ready. As I stood in the shower questions swarmed in my head. Where would I look? What if I can't find him? What if he doesn't want to come down? Would he even listen to me? And if he isn't there, where else can he be?
I decided to push these thoughts aside. There was no time to waste, the sooner the better. After I was done I dressed myself in the clothes I bought at the Pokemart yesterday and packed my supplies. When I went downstairs, Red's mom wasn't there. She was probably with the others at the lab. I rushed out, making sure I had everything and to lock the door. I wouldn't want to be the one responsible if something happened to a house I didn't even live at.
I met up with the others in front of the lab. Professor Oak, Red's mom, and Blue was already there. Lyra and Silver were already outside since they slept there.
"Good morning, Gold. You sleep well?" Professor Oak said.
"Morning, Sir. And yes I did thanks."
"Make sure you have everything you need. I wouldn't want you to come crying back saying you froze your ass off and ran out of supplies." Blue said crossing his arms.
"You always gotta say somethin' smart, huh? Well I have everything in my bag. And as you can see, I'm all bundled up." I showed him part of my scarf.
"Oh Silver and I made you soup and hot cocoa this morning. It's in these mugs, so it'll stay nice and warm for a bit!" Lyra practically shoved the mugs into my hands.
"Oh thanks," I said and put it away in my bag.
"You better not die on me, you hear? I have yet to beat your ass in a battle," Silver said, with a hint of worry in his voice.
"I'll be fine guys, don't worry."
Red's mother approached me. "Gold, when you find Red, please give this to him."
She handed me an envelope I assumed was a letter.
"Yes of course. I'll remember." I reassured.
"Thank you so much Gold!" She cried out as she squeezed me once again.
"Alright Gold, let's go!" Lyra said.
"We'll fly you to the gate, and then once you're there you're on your own, runt." Blue said. "Just show your trainer ID to the security guard, Professor Oak already contacted them."
"Alright," I said.
"Be careful, Gold. And good luck." Professor Oak said.
I bowed to him and Red's mom before we let out our flying Pokémon.
"Go! Pidgeot!" Blue yelled and threw a pokeball. Out came a humongous bird that squawked loudly and flapped its wings.
"Dragonite!" Lyra shouted and her dragon Pokémon came out. She and Silver hopped on. I guess Silver didn't want to tire his pint sized Murkrow.
"Alright let's do this. Go! Flygon!" I shouted and my dragon Pokémon flew out.
After we hopped onto our Pokémon, we waved at Professor Oak and Red's mom goodbye. Our Pokémon took off, making them look smaller and smaller.
Along the way Blue and I remained silent while Lyra wouldn't shut up about how excited she was. Poor Silver had to put up with her yapping but returned the conversation anyways. We're pretty much used to her by now; she was pretty fun and lively. I swear it's like she was the one who was going on this mission.
I on the other hand, was nervous about this whole ordeal. I kept thinking over and over about how the hell am I going to survive this let alone get Red's ass back to our world.
Fifteen minutes later, we reached our destination. We stopped in front of the gate and returned our Pokémon.
"Alright man, you're on your own. If you don't find him, you may come back and we can come up with a new plan, ok?" Blue said
"Alright," I nodded.
"Be careful! Make sure to eat the stuff we made you!" Lyra hugged me.
"Must you always force your food down our throats?" Silver crossed his arms.
"Hey! I'm only trying to help." Lyra pouted.
"Alright, alright let's say our goodbyes and let him go. The lil' champ can handle himself," Blue patted my shoulder.
"Thanks." I smiled. "Well I guess I'll be going now. Goodbye everyone!" I waved and ran to the front of the gate.
"Goodbye!" Lyra yelled and the rest of the guys waved back before taking off.
"Name please." The security officer said.
"Uh, Gold," I flashed my trainer ID.
"Alright you may pass. Be careful now. Make sure you got repellent." He said and opened the gate.
"I do thanks." I said and headed off into the great unknown of Mount Silver.
A/N: And off he goes! Btw I really loved Gen 6 so I decided I wanted to add the characters like Calem and Serena. Also decided to give Gold a fairy Pokemon, the one and only Sylveon! Sylveon and Umbreon are my favorite eeveelutions! What are yours?
Also what do you guys think of fairy Pokemon? Despite all the negativity it gets because of its strength and immunity to Dragon types, I personally LOVE the addition of fairy types. (and its totally not cuz my nickname is Fairy my friends gave me cuz of my high pitched laugh XD). Fairies are a powerful and unique type and I honestly think people should give them a chance. Dragon types will always be cool too, so don't worry guys :P
