Chapter 3

June 21 9:30am Over the Phone

"Cameron hmm?" Professor Oak said stroking his chin. The other professors were just as puzzled.

"I can't think of where I heard it." Professor Elm said scratching his head.

"I think I've heard of it before too." Professor Birch said screwing his face in concentration. Professor Rowan closed his eyes before opening them.

"Isn't that often referred to as 'The Crossroad of the Five Regions?'?'" He asked. The other professors looked up in recognition.

"I remember now!" Professor Elm exclaimed. The other professors nodded. The Dexholders waited impatiently.

"Cameron is actually an island very close to Hoenn. You can take a special boat or train from there." Professor Oak said.

"It's the only place in the world that still has rulers." Professor Elm added.

"You mean like Kings and Queens?" Gold asked incredulously.

"No. It's actually an oligarchy. It's ruled over by the Four Ladies of Cameron." Professor Oak elaborated.

"I'm sure you'll want to battle the Four Seasons of Cameron Palace. They're said to be some of the strongest trainers in the world." Professor Birch said smiling.

"Anyway, if you want to go to Cameron, we could arrange boat tickets for-"Professor Rowan started but was interrupted by Professor Juniper who just logged on.

"My Dexholders have finally defeated Team Plasma!" She said gleefully. Everyone blinked.

"Well, since this is a good chance for them to meet their seniors, why don't you send them to Cameron too?" Professor Oak asked.

"Sure! I'm sure they'll go." Professor Juniper said.

"So when do you want to leave?" Professor Oak asked.

"How about two days?" Crystal asked.

"That works. Why don't you go to Hoenn? We'll send you your tickets there." Professor Oak said and the Dexholders signed off.

June 21 10:15am Nuvema Town

"We're going to Hoenn to meet our Seniors?" White asked excitedly. Professor Juniper nodded.

I'm not sure. I have work to do here." Cheren said hesitantly.

"Yeah, I have to train so I can be the best!" Black said nodding.

"But it sounds like fun." Bianca pouted.

"You could profit from this." Professor Juniper added.

"How?" Black asked. "One of your Seniors is the Pokémon League Champion of Kanto and the others aren't that bad either."

"WE MUST GO!"Black yelled. Everybody winced.

"Another one of your Seniors is Professor Oak's lab assistant and another is his grandson." Professor Juniper continued. The three looked pleadingly at Cheren and N who nodded smiling. Cheren sighed.

"Fine."

"Yay!" Bianca cheered and even Cheren had to smile.

June 22 12pm Just Outside Littleroot Town

"Professor Birch's house in Littleroot Town." White read off the directions Professor Juniper had given them.

"We're in Littleroot Town!" Bianca said excitedly pointing at the sign.

"There doesn't seem to be very much here." Cheren observed.

"Where do you think our Seniors are?" Black asked excitedly. N pointed to a large group of 12 people.

"I think that's them." He said quietly.

"Why?" Bianca asked.

"I can see a Pokedex sticking out of one of their pockets." N said. Bianca was already bounding over and the other four hurried to catch up with her.

June 22 12:05 Littleroot Town

"When do you think our Juniors are going to get here?" Pearl asked impatiently.

"They'll be here eventually Pearl." Platina said reading.

"I think they're here." Dia said happily munching on chocolate. Indeed, a blonde in a beret was running over with four others trying to catch up to her. All the Dexholders got up to greet the new juniors.

Introductions were made before Professor Birch came out. "Your tickets are here!" He shouted.

"Tickets to where?" Black asked.

"Cameron." Silver said.

"Why?" Bianca asked.

"One of our Seniors told us to go there." Crystal said.

"Which Senior?" White asked.

"She's not here but she was upset over something when we saw her. She said if we wanted answers to go to Cameron." Platina answered.

"Where is Cameron? I've never heard of it." Cheren said adjusting his glasses.

"Honestly, none of us have heard it until Senior Straw-Hat mentioned it." Gold said skating to hand out the tickets.

"Senior Straw-Hat?" N asked extremely amused.

"I don't have nicknames for you!" Gold said horrified.

"Gold." Chris threatened.

"Calm down Super Serious Gal, you know I love only you." He said holding his hands up. Crystal turned bright red.

"Don't even joke about that!" She yelled and tried to hit Gold who caught her wrists and kissed her. Even Blue was too shocked to take a camera and capture the moment. Gold pulled back and examined Crystal's red face.

"Have I ever told you how cute you are?" He asked nonchalantly. Crystal's face turned even redder. Slap!

"What was that for?" Gold pouted rubbing his sore cheek. Tears were pouring from Crystal's eyes. Taking in the situation, Blue pushed everyone inside before going in herself.

"Chris? What's wrong?" Gold asked very concerned. He tried to wipe her tears but she backed away.

"This isn't a joke!" Crystal yelled from amid her tears.

"Why would you think this is a joke?" Gold asked moving forward to have her move back.

"You always flirt with every girl you see! Why should I believe that you love me?" Chris sobbed collapsing onto the ground. Gold crouched down in front of her. He lifted her chin and stared into her eyes for a moment before kissing her again. They pulled away after a few moments and Gold pulled Crystal into a hug.

"Don't ever doubt me and my feelings again." He whispered as he let her cry into his shoulder. Soon Crystal calmed down. "I'm sorry. I-I love you too." She whispered and saw him smile before pulling her into another kiss.

"How cute." Blue cooed as she took photos.

"Pesky woman." Green muttered. Silver nodded agreeing. Sapphire watched fascinated while Ruby looked away mumbling about wrinkles. Emerald grinned as he watched. Red watched with a far-away look in his eyes as he stopped playing with his button up red jacket and Bianca squealed. White and Platina averted their eyes. N watched very, very confused as Professor Birch smiled knowingly. Pearl was talking to Black and Cheren about battle strategies and Dia watched the couple outside interestedly while eating rice balls.

"Now why can't you ever do that for me, Greenie?" Blue asked pouting and straightening her red miniskirt. Green didn't answer. He only brushed some dust off his black shirt.

June 22 6pm Tree of Life

Yellow observed the setting sun from her place at the top of the Tree of Life. "It's almost time." She whispered to Jolteon.

June 22 12:20pm Littleroot Town

"So are you a couple now?" Blue asked mischievously. Crystal blushed and started fiddling with her pigtails, staring down at her biker shorts and Gold grinned and grabbed Crystal's hand.

"Yep."
