Hey by the way, this story is gonna be in Blue's P.O.V. for the next few chaps. Just to let you know. In case you couldn't tell, the story was in third person, but from Silver's side. So now it's gonna be first person, Blue. Yeaaahhh. Thanks. And remember to review! Oh, and btw, the first few paragraphs is just Blue reflecting on her new life. You might find it boring, I don't know. Bloop! :3
All alone I sit and think of life
How life is filled with tears
Tears of happiness and tears of sadness
Tears of pain and tears of heartache
Why? Why is Silver being so cold? I love him, for Arceus's sake! Ever since that night with Karen and the soup, he's gotten even colder. He's always been a fairly quiet person, every person knows that, but now he's almost ignoring me. Did I do something? I thought he would be happy now that we were free.
Was it a year ago? It was a almost a year ago, yeah. The night that the Masked Man would be at his weakest every month. We narrowly escaped, thanks to my Jigglypuff hiding us from Will and Karen, those jerks. But we did it, we finally escaped.
And now we lived together, on the run from our evil past. We lived wherever we could find, sometimes in forests, sometimes in the oddest places, such as alleys, roofs, in a few people's backyards, and once even in a Growlithe house. We made it work. We didn't have much, hardly anything actually. But, in all irony, what we learned from the Mask is what saved us. He taught us how to live on less than minimum, and with all we've been through already, this is nothing.
I was actually kind of content. Until then, when Silver told me what he'd been thinking.
"Blue, can we talk?"
"Of course. What's on your mind, dear?"
"Well, Blue. I've been thinking for a little bit now; it's been almost a year of this. We're running out of hiding places. I think it'd be for the best if…" he went silent.
"What, Silver? Just tell me!"
"If we went our separate ways." I almost froze out of sheer shock.
"What?"
"Well, if we split up we may be able to accomplish our mission faster. I'll go to Johto, a neighboring region. There are significant traces of large bird Pokémon there. I can try to find a trace of this bird you're talking about."
"Silver, that's great, but I'm only eleven, and I just turned eleven too. You're eight years old, for Arceus's sake! You can't go to a new region by yourself!"
"If it's what needs to be done, I'll do it. I'll be fine, Blue. I can manage by myself."
I couldn't believe how adult he sounded, and at only eight years old, too. He never ceases to amaze me.
"… It's just that I've been the only person to take care of you since you were two years old, and I can't let you go now. It's too dangerous and you'll be lonely and-"
"Blue, it's what's needed to be done. We can write to each other. Make Ditty transform into a Spearow or something. We can do this."
"But… but I'll miss you, Silver."
"I'll miss you too, Blue. We can meet up later. I promise. But for now, I think we should split up. What do you say?"
"Well, I think it'll get us to our goal faster, yes, but the dangers are just too much for you."
I'm not giving up my little brother. No way.
"I can take perfectly good care of myself, thank you." Silver's voice, she could tell, was trying to not sound mean.
"That's not what I mean! I couldn't live with myself if you were hurt or… let's just think nothing worse than you getting hurt will happen."
Then I got an idea.
"Hey, Silver, trade me your Horsea for my Snubull. Just to remember each other by, you know, until we meet back up."
"Okay, if it makes you feel better."
So we quickly traded.
"Are you sure? You know the dangers, and you're still willing? Just for me?" I knew he could manage himself just fine, but there was just something in me that didn't want him to go.
"Positive. I know it'll work. Just trust me, please."
"Okay. I… I love you, Silver." If he was adamant about doing this, I suppose there was no luck trying to convince him not to.
"I love you too, Blue."
With that, they hugged each other tightly as a temporary goodbye.
"I'll be going. I have a long trip to Johto."
"Goodbye, Silver. I'll write to you."
"I'll write back." He didn't seem very sad about leaving me. Maybe I should let him go. Maybe he wants to be away from me. Am I just a burden to him...?
With that, he started walking down the street, like a normal citizen almost, and disappeared.
I thought to myself, Goodbye, little brother. Take care. Be careful. Be sure to-
I stopped myself there. I'm not his mother. He would take care of himself. I know it. And I have my own plans. I have that power plant to see, and a professor to… visit. Yes, professor first. I started constructing my first letter with some stationary I had…borrowed.
Silver,
How are you? How close are you to Johto? I miss you a lot already. I never realized how much I took for granted, considering we haven't been separated in six years…
How was that? Did I do okay? The next few chapters I plan to just follow Blue around, then Silver, while including their letters. I'll also be introducing some new characters, for those of you who don't want to hear of only two characters for a whole story. ;) Bye!
