Enjoy reading Chapter Seven! Also, be on the lookout for unfriendly viewers: St. Elmo's Fire and Farla. One of them screwed with me, and now me and another writer are warning all of you readers about them. Ignore them if they try to give you 'advice' about any Pokemon stories you could potentially write in the future, or ones you're writing now (If you're a member of FanFiction, just like me, please acknowledge to this message). You didn't hear it from just me.
Also, this is mostly a flashback chapter. You'll see what I believe happened in the Generation 1 and 2 Games. You heard that right ladies and gentlemen. Pokemon Red/Blue/Green and Pokemon Silver/Gold/Crystal are in the same universe as the anime series, sort of. They take place almost two decades before the events of this story, which is based on the anime. This is my interpretation on the events that happened in the games. Screw the Red's Death Theory. I've put a new twist on this story that I hope you guys will like. I did as much Pokemon homework as I could, so here it goes. Plus, in case you are wondering, Jordan (a.k.a Gold) is Mikhail's father, and Emily (a.k.a Crystal) is Rane's mom. So... yeah.
Finally, I'm trying not to focus too much on dialogue, because there are a lot of details to include in this story.

Chapter Seven / Rane
Seven yards in front of Rane stood the exit station. Its function was similar to the station she and her friends encountered earlier today. Even though she didn't catch any Pokemon in this forest, Rane was still very happy that she managed to train her Pokemon along the way. Eevee learned Swift and Bite, forgetting Tackle in the process. Miltank knew Defense Curl, Milk Drink, Stomp, and Rollout.
She traversed the whole forest with Ashley, Ash, Gina, and Delia, and she was excited that Ash caught a Caterpie. But now she, Ashley, and Ash had a problem. It was going to be hard, if not impossible for them to beat the Rock Gym in Pewter City. Meanwhile, Ash's father waited inside the station, taking a stroll down memory lane again...

Chapter Seven / David
It was 1999. Blue "David" Oak was sixteen years old when he chose his starter, Squirtle. His fraternal twin brother, Red had chosen Charmander, so Blue wanted to work hard enough to become the very best, like no one ever was. He pushed Red harder and harder into becoming a great trainer himself. But it was on one fateful period that he lost his brother... somewhere...
On the S.S Anne, Blue was chatting with Delia, otherwise known by the name, Green. They had known each other since childhood, and he was asking Green if they could go on a date in Celadon City.
"Oh Blue, you are so sweet!" She said in a jolly tone. "Of course I'll go!"
"It's a date then." Blue promised.
By then, Red spotted them from a few yards away, looking for a fight. Blue noticed his brother, and gestured from Delia to get behind him. Red seemed angrier than usual today...
"Hey Blue." He said grimly.
Before Blue could open his mouth, Red interrupted.
"No small talk. I want to battle you."
Red sent out his Charmeleon, overconfident of his abilities in battle.
"You've got this Raticate!" Blue shouted, releasing his big, brown rat Pokemon from his Poke ball. Raticate only just recently evolved, and quite abruptly too. It needed to be Level 20 to evolve from Rattata to Raticate, but instead it was Level 16.
"Use Hyper Fang!"
"Dodge it and use Dragon Claw!" Red yelled.
Raticate leaped at Charmeleon, but the red lizard dodged and cut him with its glowing claw! Raticate was knocked into a nearby wall.
"Raticate, get out of there with Quick Attack!"
Raticate, at a blinding speed, zipped away from Charmeleon's next Dragon Claw!
"Charmeleon, use Ember!"
Charmeleon shot a bolt of fire out of his mouth, and hit Raticate at the spot it got scratched at. Delia stood where she was, frozen, unable to know how the battle would turn out. Raticate was in deep pain, and hurt real badly.
"Hold on Raticate!" Blue said, pulling out a Potion.
"Not so fast!" Red objected. "Use Ember on Blue's Potion!"
Blue's eyes widened as Charmeleon shot an Ember at Blue's hand. However, Raticate jumped in front of the shot, getting knocked out by the blow. Delia couldn't take it anymore.
"Red, back off! Venusaur, use Petal Blizzard!" she screamed, sending out her starter Pokemon, whom she had vigorously trained the past month. Venusaur called on a hurricane of leaves, which sped their way towards Red and Charmeleon at quick speed! Charmeleon was hurled straight into Red, getting knocked out in spite of the type disadvantage.
Red, scared out of his mind, abandoned Charmeleon and ran off before he was next. Delia was not a trainer to be reckoned with back then. Blue turned his attention towards Raticate, finding a nasty burn on his trusty rat.
"Wartortle, help me!" He panicked, releasing his starter so he could try to help him cool off the wound. Great. Just great. Blue came prepared for situations like this, but the rest of his items were stolen this morning! Delia kneeled over Raticate, pissed off at Red for his terrible behavior.
"What the hell was Red doing?" Delia blurted out. Venusaur gave Blue a worried look.
"That... That could not have been Red."
"What!?" Delia said in disbelief.
"I know him." Blue said. "He barely ever talks, and he has always been the nicest guy around. He couldn't pull a stunt like this! Never! Plus, if it was him, he'd never leave Charmeleon like that!"
Charmeleon laid unconscious; his Poke ball was broken in half by Venusaur's Petal Blizzard. He was no longer owned. As Wartortle kept washing Raticate's wound, Venusaur, not looking, woke Charmeleon up with Vine Whip. The red lizard Pokemon snapped awake, confused as to why he felt so different. Blue was stuck on a cliffhanger. He ended up postponing that date...

Chapter Seven / Delia
Delia remembered that day like it was just yesterday. Professor Oak sent her, Blue, Jordan, and Emily to rescue Red from Team Rocket's base in Viridian City. The Ground Type Gym. Back then, it was located on the northern side of town, always closed. Oak gained info regarding Red, Blue's brother. He was kidnapped by Giovanni and Silver, the father and son leaders of Team Rocket. Silver, using holographic facial makeup from the Kalos region, posed as Red on the S.S Anne. Fortunately, Raticate survived. But in order to protect Raticate, Blue had to release him back into the wild, one of the hardest things he ever had to do as Delia recalled. So now, she and her friends were on a mission. They had a double-agent who worked from the inside. He used to be close to his father, but after seeing the chaos Team Rocket has caused, the agent just had to help. They just needed the spy's help to defeat Team Rocket once and for all, rescue Red, and steal copies of the Earth Badge so they could go to the Viridian City Conference and attempt to become champions.
Gold and Crystal- what Delia called Jordan Camino and Emily Cooper -took out the Team Rocket grunts in the main entrance room, while Blue and Green took the back door. Apparently, there were no grunts at the back door. Blue quietly tip-toed downstairs while Delia stealthily rushed to Giovanni's office to grab five Earth badges, one for the four of them, and the last one for Red. But what confused her was why there were no grunts in the hallway she walked through to get to the office. Suddenly, she heard a yelp. It came from Blue. She swiftly stole five Earth badges, adding one to her collection before leaving to follow Blue downstairs. The brown-haired girl traveled down two flights of staircases, but after that, she reached a secret basement floor. Blue stood in front of Giovanni, Silver, and several male and female grunts. Red was tied to a chair in a corner of the room. No wonder the gym upstairs had such a lack of security where Blue and Delia entered from.
Blue had his Blastoise out against Silver's Feraligatr, the Johto region Water starter. Delia sent out her Venusaur against Giovanni, who clutched a Master Ball in his hand. She could only guess that he carried a little surprise for her.
"Take this foolish girl out!" Giovanni commanded as he threw the Master Ball. A Powerful light filled the room, so bright that Blue and Silver stopped fighting in the middle of their battle. This surprise wasn't little after all.
The purplish-white Pokemon that stood before Delia was a clone of war, a recently created Pokemon who was being used in Giovanni's plan for world domination. Its name was Mewtwo.
"Venusaur, use Petal Blizzard!" Delia shouted.
"Cut through with Psystrike." Giovanni specifically stated.
As Venusaur summoned a storm of flower petals, Mewtwo stopped the attack with a Psychic-type move that just barely missed Venusaur.
Blue nodded to Silver, and he nodded back. Now was their chance.
"Blastoise, douse Mewtwo with Hydro Pump!" He yelled.
"Feraligatr, help Blastoise out!" Silver right after him.
Giovanni turned towards his son and Blue, dumbstruck. This was mutiny. Both Hydro Pumps pushed Mewtwo into the wall behind him, smashing through it! Delia could only watch as Giovanni stomped over towards his son. The Team Rocket grunts began to evacuate the building. Red was struggling to get out of his predicament. Gold and Crystal rushed downstairs to help their friends.
"Unbelievable!" Giovanni screamed. "I raised you better than this you stupid boy!" The man was preparing to smack Silver across the face. But Feraligatr was there, guarding his trainer. He snarled at Giovanni menacingly.
"Grrrrr... Mewtwo, Mega Evolve!"
The five teenagers stared at Giovanni, shocked. Giovanni revealed wore a Mega Evolution Ring on his ring finger! He pushed to button on it, and in a flash, Mewtwo was engulfed in a ray of light...

Chapter Seven / David
Delia and the kids entered the station, where the guard there was too busy reading manga to notice them. David waved at them, relieved. He was beating himself up because he thought that they would've gotten lost in there. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
"Dad!" Ash yelled, running over to hug his father.
"Hey kiddo. How was the forest?"
"Great. I caught a Caterpie!"
David gave his son a high-five, proud. David turned his attention to the others.
"Okay everyone, the bus is outside and ready to roll! Pewter City is only fifteen minutes away."
The whole group exited the building, except for the two adults. They stood next to each other, silent. They knew what they were going to talking about.
"Red was always enthusiastic about battling me and Barry. After all, he wanted to become Champion..."
In case you are wondering who Barry is, its Yellow, Red and Blue's other brother.
"Well, I'm sure he's still alive somewhere." Delia replied. "On the bright side, you married the Champion..."
And it was true. Delia Ketchum was the champion of the Kanto region. Everyone knows. After all these years, she's kept Venusaur and co. in her PC, just for a special occasion. She was a regular back in Pallet Town, but the paparazzi kept surrounding her back at Viridian City, which is why she wasn't around too often.
"I did, didn't I?" David said.
The two leaned in for a kiss, a sweet, soft kiss. Unfortunately, it only lasted for five seconds because of a peeper.
"Do you people mind taking your romance somewhere else?" the unfriendly guard retorted.

I know this is supposed to be in the Anime universe, but I just couldn't help myself. I wanted to make the story more interesting. Also, if you're wondering what happened to Red, you're gonna have to wait a while before I make my big reveal. Also, Yellow, Silver, and Crystal will all appear in this region (Crystal is Rane's mother, and Yellow is both Ash's uncle and Gary's father). Gold doesn't appear until the Johto region rolls around (Gold is Mikhail's father). Gary will appear in this story, but not until Route 3. In the next episode, The gang will explore Pewter City and meet Brock, who is now a part-time gym leader, and also a legitimate doctor.
