BOAT TIME! So this chapter will be more humorous than action filled, along with some fluff. The dexholders are on their way to Unova finally, but some aren't so thrilled with the transportation. Also, Soul will be introduced in this chapter. And you will be my favorite person in the world if you know where the title of this chapter is from.

On a different note, whenever you see three periods together, that will indicate a page break, since apparently it hasn't been showing up in the previous chapters.

So, I would like to ask you all a favor. I want to try and incorporate some of the readers' ideas into this story. It could be anything from a reference, to a joke, to a little side story. Anything you want, I will find a way to incorporate. I'm even willing to add an OC for a chapter or two, but they most likely won't have a huge impact in the plot. If you have any ideas, just message me and we will figure some things out.

Chapter 4- Sit down, you're rocking the boat!

…

Silver

Why couldn't I have flown to Unova? Okay, maybe Honchkrow would get tired, but I could borrow another flying type, right? Or the Unova gym leader, Skyla, could have flown out to get us. She is in the air constantly anyways.

As you can probably guess, I hate boats. And of course, my roommate for the ride was Gold, who made it ten times worse.

We'd been riding for about two hours so far, and the sea had been extremely rough. The storm from two days ago was still going strong in upper Kanto and now parts of Johto, making the water go wild. Luckily, we weren't traveling in those areas.

At the time, most of us were on the top deck. Red, Sapphire, Emerald, and Yellow were playing cards, with Emerald using his fake hand to cheat. He had gotten back yesterday from researching Zapdos, half fried and with only one of his fake hands working. That kid's a pro with technology though, and fixed everything within a few hours.

Ruby was grooming Zuzu while talking to Platina about contest appeals, or something like that. Diamond was eating donuts like usual while Pearl wrote new comedy acts to show the Unova holders. I was leaning against the railing, green in the face.

Looking over, I saw Crystal talking to a girl that looked extremely like her, that it was actually scary all the similarities they shared. The girl was wearing a puffy white hat, red jacket, and shorts overalls on top. Her hair matched Crystal's, just brown instead of dark blue. She had a habit of yanking on her knee-length white socks, I observed.

Soon, Crys walked over to us, with the look-alike behind her.

"Guys, I want you to meet my cousin, Soul! She's traveling to Unova with us to help out. Soul's a researcher like me and will be taking notes on the legendaries of Unova for Prof. Oak." Everyone greeted Soul, who enthusiastically greeted back. As she was talking about her research, an Ambipom climbed on her shoulder and stole her hat.

From the other side of the boat, you could hear Gold laughing as Ataro, the Ambipom, returned to his owner. Soul just laughed, as she started to chase him around the boat. Soon, all of their pokemon were released and joined the game.

No one except for me was really bothered, but the commotion was making the boat rock harder with each wave. With each wave that hit, I also lost a little more of my lunch over the railing. Finally, I had enough.

"Gold, Soul! Sit the hell down, you're rocking the boat!" I said to them, glaring. "And put your pokemon away too, the boats not big enough for them all!"

Soul looked at me, a little frightened but also intrigued. Gold just snickered.

Flinging an arm around Soul, he walked over to me. "Don't mind Silver, he's a big kill joy. He thinks anything fun is stupid."

Glaring again, I turned away just as another wave hit. Getting extremely sick, I laid my head down on my arms that rested on the boat railing. 'Ugh, I hate boats' I thought to myself. Weavile laughed at my expense from his pokemon ball. In turn, I grabbed it off my belt and threw it as hard as I could at Gold's stomach, knocking him on his back. Revenge on both at the same time.

Smirking, I looked over at Gold to see him trying to catch his breath with Soul laughing beside Crystal, tears rolling down both of their faces. I took in her appearance as she laughed. Her milk chocolate brown eyes were warm and friendly looking. Her cute little nose crinkled as she laughed. At least she thinks it was funny, and not mean. Wait, why to I care? Come on Silver, don't get soft.

Inside his ball, Weavile was shooting daggers at me. They say that pokemon act like their trainers, and Weavile was a perfect example. People even say that we look alike. Whatever.

"Hey Silvy, that was rude. You don't want to give Soul a bad first impression of you, do you?" Gold said as he stood up, clutching his stomach.

" Don't call me Silvy or I'll punch you, and I'm a rude person, you of all people should know that. Also, since when do I care what people think of me?" I asked him as the boat hit another wave. I slid down the railing to sit on the deck.

"Good point. I should introduce you anyways. Silver, obviously this is Crystal's cousin Soul. She was my neighbor until she moved with her family. She is extremely friendly, but also extremely klutzy. And Soul, this redhead is Silver. He tries to act like a badass but he really isn't." Gold said, smirking once again.

"Shut up Gold. And stop smirking, your face will get stuck like that." I sneered back. Looking over at Soul, I saw her looking extremely offended.

Pointing her finger, she stomped over to Gold as she spoke. " I am not klutzy. Why would you every thi - WAH!" Soul slipped on a wet spot of the deck and started to fall down. Reaching out to grab her, I pulled her over to me so she landed on top of me.

Opening her eyes, Soul started to thank me before she realized the position we were in. Her hands were on my chest and legs between mine. I had my hands resting on her sides. Her eyes widened and she scrambled off me with a blush covering her face. Gold was on the ground laughing while everyone else was either doing the same or just staring.

I stood up and stomped to my room, kicking Gold in the head in the process.

…

Soul

Crystal ran over to me, offering her hand. I took it and sat up, still dazed at what just happened. I can't believe that just happened!

By the time I finally got my senses back, Crystal had dragged me to our room.

She sat me on the bed and gave me a relived look. "I'm so glad Silver was there to catch you! I knew you were accident prone as a child, but didn't realize it was so bad. Are you sure you are okay?" Crystal babbled on as she examined me for any injuries.

"I'm fine, honestly I am. A little embarrassed though. Silver must hate me. He stomped of and was furious!" I said frantically.

"Soul, I've known Silver almost as long as I've known Gold. He thinks he can hid his emotions, but Gold, Blue, and I can read him pretty well. Heck, even Yellow can and she's pretty oblivious. He was only embarrassed. And I don't think he was to upset with having you in his lap." She said while chuckling at the end. What does she mean? I asked her and she just gave me a shocked look.

"You seriously can't see that… you know what? I will let you figure it out by yourself." She stated as she walked out of the room. Well, that was out of character for Crystal. Usually she would just flat out tell me whatever she was about to say. Of course, the last time we saw each was a few years ago. Maybe she had changed a lot since then.

You are probably wondering about my story with Gold and Crystal. Well, I grew up with Gold. When I was eight, I had to moved to Hoenn with my family when my dad was relocated for work. He was an astronomer and was sought after by many different companies. Unfortunately, he was murdered because of this during a trip to Sinnoh. My brother and I were never told the details so I'm not quite sure what really happened.

After his death, me and my family moved in with Crystal's family for a year or two. They helped us get a place to stay and my mom got a job. That was when Professor Oak asked Crystal to become his assistant, then later asked me the same. Sixth months later, and here I am on my way to my first major mission.

So yeah, that's my life. Not the greatest life, but not as bad as some.

There you go, my dear readers! Kind off ended on a sad note, but eh, it had to happen. Until next time, read on!
