A/N:
Well... Hello! I'm back! Yes, yes... It's a shocker alright. I've had a bit of a writer's block, but, now, it's gone now! And hopefully I won't be having it for awhile 'coz I know how much I made you guys wait. Well, here's a bit of a note for you: I revised the other chapters, correcting some grammatical errors I made and added some stuff and shiz, so yeah... And another thing I want to clear is that this whole thing happens around the 3 year gap in the manga before the HGSS arc. So anyway, keep on reading and reviewing! I want my 15th review before the next chapter:) Maybe, next week, or on Friday.

"Ash, are you sure you want to do this?" Dawn asked unsure as she stared at Ash.
"Yes Dawn. I'm sure. I have to do this. If I don't she won't survive." Ash said with a determined look on his face.
"I know that. But... Can't someone else do it for her?" Dawn said furious and annoyed at the blonde-headed girl.
"Dawn, don't worry. Okay?" Ash assured her. He turned back around to see the blonde girl lying still. He took a deep breath, pinched the girl's nose and started giving some of his air into her mouth. Dawn watched anxiously from behind, she was also furious.
They're lips touched as the black haired boy breathe into the blonde's mouth. The blue-haired girl behind him just watched with pure anger burning inside her as she watched the guy she liked, or possibly love, give the unknown blonde the 'Kiss of Life.'
Ash doesn't have to do this!
"Ash, I think she's alright now." She snapped, unable to take in the scene in front of her anymore.
Ash ignored her and continued to breathe air into the mysterious blonde girl's mouth. It wasn't doing anything so he parted their lips and took his hand and pushed out the air out of the girl's chest.
"ASH! She's fine now so stop!" Dawn screamed behind him.
Ash looked up and said "But Dawn I-" but was cut-off when he heard someone coughing. He looked back down at the blonde that was previously unconscious now up and coughing away the sea water.
"See!" Dawn snapped once again.
"Thank God she's fine!" Ash sighed in relief. The blonde still continued to cough as everyone in S.S. Faith expressed their relief.
"Come on Ash! We need to get to our cabin." Dawn said tapping her foot impatiently, arms folded.
"Yeah, I know. Let me just-" He was cut-off again when he felt a tugged in his arm. He looked down once again to see the blonde holding a tight grip on it.
The blonde girl slowly opened here eyes and saw that she was staring directly into eyes which she thought were someone else's.
"Thanks Red." He heard her mutter and something hit Ash.
"Red? I'm not Red. But do you know Red?" He asked her with excitement evident in his voice. Yellow looked up to see Ash staring at her and her eyes twinkled with confusion as she tilted her head cutely, which Ash, unknown to Yellow but very visible to Dawn, blushed at.
"You're not Red? Then who are you? Why do you look exactly like him?" She said still confused. Very confused.
"I'm Ash Ketchum!" He grinned extending his hand towards her. She timidly took it and shook it.
"Ohhh is that so." the little girl said, looking down sadly.
Right behind them, a certain blue-haired girl watched them with fiery jealousy evident in her eyes.
"So uhhh you know Red?" Ash replied smiling widely with curiosity.
"Hai! I do know him, I'm one of his closest friends."
Just his friend.
May && Ruby
"So... Erm... Who do you think we should talk to first?" The brunette with a black bandanna stuck on top of her head asked the boy beside her as they walked through one of the hallways of the massive ship.
"I was thinking Red." The boy answered her with his index finger and thumb rubbing his chin. He stopped for awhile to think.
"Ruby..." The brunette said worriedly.
"But, I'm not sure on how to break the news to him." He sighed deeply.
"The news about Yellow?" She said looking intently at the boy in front of her.
"Yeah. That." He said, taking his gaze off the ground and locking it with her Sapphire orbs.
"Well... There ain't no easy way to tell him... So, we'll just have to break it to him as gentle as we possibly can." She stepped forward and put a feather-light hand onto his shoulder.
Silence followed them as both of them locked their eyes. The only thing that could be heard is the gentle sound of the breeze swaying pass them and the soft sound of the waves of the sea. It was getting late and the colors of the sky have now turned into an orangey, yellowish, purple color.
"The grunts said something about that Atsumi girl." Ruby said silently. The girl nodded indicating him to continue. "He said something to do with the program they've been trying to work out. A program that was created by..." He trailed off.
"Professor Birch." May finished for him. He looked up at her bewildered at the right answer she gave off. "I know." She said turning to look towards the sea.
"But they didn't know which Professor Birch, so they took both Sapphire and Brendan." He continued to look down.
"Yes Ruby. I know. That's why..." She said still gazing intently at the sea. "We need to find out before them."
"I know." He nodded in approval. "But how?"
"That's easy!" May said jumping up and as she grinned mischievously towards him. This surprised the boy who nearly dropped his hat from being startled by her.
"Well then how?" He raised a brow, holding down his hat, making sure it doesn't fly off since the wind had started to pick up.
"Through our dads of course!" She winked.
And Ruby, had now figured it all out now. He knew what to do, all because that simple information his, sort-of-a-sister told him.
Blue && Green && Red
"Great! Just great!" Blue huffed as she climbed up to the second floor of S.S. Tower. "The lights turn on the minute we get up! That's just extremely stupid!"
"Shut up you pesky woman!" Green growled as he pushed Blue up towards the hole she fell from. "Damn you're heavy!"
"Fuck up about my weight!" The brunette girl kicked the spiky-haired boy in the shoulder.
"Ow! I swear if you kick me one more time I'm gonna let go of you!" He said as he tried his best to keep his balance on the box he stood at.
"Nah! It's fine! I can get up myself now!" And with that said, Blue jumped up towards the hole and climbed out of it, arriving on the second floor.
"Pesky woman." Green muttered under his breath before jumping up as well.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaais!" Blue stretched and yawned before speaking once again. "It's good to be- OH MY GOD RED!"
Blue screamed in horror as she saw the black-haired boy unconscious, without his hat and his PokéBalls scattered around the ground. She rushed over towards him quickly as the spiky haired brunette followed after her.
"What the hell happened to him?" Came the strong, worried voice of Green.
"I don't know! Ahhh! My Pokémons!" She screamed in horror searching frantically in his pockets for any sign of her PokéBalls .
"He's unconscious and God knows what the hell happened to him, and you're here trying to steal out of his pockets? Crazy woman, focus!" Green said in annoyance as he grabbed the girl's frail hands, jerking her away and brought up Red to carry him onto his back.
"I was looking for my Pokémons Green! I have no idea what the hell happened to them!" She shouted towards him, voice loud, clear and cracking as tears began to form around her tear ducts.
Green never looked back, but he did stop halfway through the hallway as he heard Blue's silent sobs. He stood there in silence, Red still piggy backed on him. He was like that for what seemed like an eternity until he spoke with so much seriousness and vague emotions deep within his voice.
"I'll find them for you Blue." He said barely above a whisper before walking on.
Blue stopped crying and looked up at him. Her tear-stained face was covered in shock as she watched the boy leave and continue on to his journey to, probably, Red's room. She gaped in awe at him before wiping away the tears and smiling to herself.
He does care.
Gold, Crystal, May && Ruby
"Okay, here goes nothing!" Gold said under his breath.
"1, 2, 3..." Crystal said watching Gold with amusement.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he ran towards the door in hopes of banging the door open.
Just before he hit the door, it suddenly opened revealing Ruby who was about to say something but stopped as he saw Gold who desperately tried to stop before he ran into him. Unfortunately, friction wasn't on their side at all and they ended up banging into each other.
"OW! GOLD!" Ruby shouted as he tried to get off the black haired teen off of him.
"Oooops. Sorry Prissy boy." Gold muttered as he rubbed his head.
"WHAT?" Ruby screamed angrily kicking Gold hard on the stomach.
"OW! What the fucking hell was that for?" Gold screamed as he jumped out pointing an angry finger at the teen wearing that same old white hat.
"For calling me a Prissy Boy you idiot!" Ruby stood up as well, glaring angrily at Gold.
"Why you! How come Sapphire can call you Prissy Boy without having to suffer your wrath then?" Gold retorted, returning the glare back to Ruby.
Just then, May entered the scene with a very suspicious grin planted on her face.
"Sapph!" Crystal said coming out of their dark room and running over to the brunette with the black bandanna.
"Crys? What's up?" She asked worriedly at her smart friend.
"Ah, it's just-" Crystal was cut-off by Gold pointing an accusing finger at May.
"YOU! Jungle Girl! What's up with that suspicious grin you had just a minute ago!" He said narrowing her eyes at her.
"Ah. It's nothing." She grinned again, this time, a hell lot wider.
"There it is again!" He shouted.
"Shut up Gold!" Crystal scolded him, thumping the back of his head.
"The hell? What was the hell was that for?" He shouted at her.
"For being an idiot and damaging all of our ears!" She shouted back at him.
Ruby and May looked at them with sweat drops before they looked at each other and nodded.
"SO!" May shouted giddily and this caught the two fighting teens' attention. "The ship is about to dock soon!"
"Oh yeah." Crystal agreed with her.
"So I was thinking, we should stay in that fancy hotel called..." May struggled a bit trying to remember which hotel it was.
"Soul and Heart." Ruby finished for her.
"WHAAAAAT? That place is fucking expensive men!" Gold shouted earning another smack from Crystal.
"As much as I don't want to, but, I agree with Gold. It's too expensive." Crystal said shaking her head in disagreement.
"Don't worry! Ruby will pay for it!" May grinned mischievously. This caught the mentioned teen off-guard as he looked at her with wide eyes.
"Are you sure?" Crystal said, looking at Ruby who seemed like he was about to explode.
"The food's great!" May mentioned. And now she knows she's got Gold hook, line and sinker.
"I'M IN!" He shouted running off towards the deck. "DOCK ALREADY YOU STUPID SHIP!"
"Are you sure you're alright with it Ruby?" Crystal asked him raising an eye-brow.
"I-" He was cut-off by May covering his mouth and speaking for him.
"Of course he is! We're gonna go make some reservation now! Bye!" And with that, she ran off to the other direction Gold went, dragging the speechless Ruby with her, leaving a very confused Crystal behind.
Once they were far enough, May stopped letting Ruby go, receiving his wrath full blast.
"WHAT THE HELL MAY?" He shouted angrily giving her a hard glare.
"Hey! It's the best I could do! If you want to investigate then we'll have to get in which means we'll have to pay!" She defended herself.
"BUT WITH MY MONEY?" He said, still shouting.
"Look, I'll pay for it as well bro! Don't worry!" She grinned cheekily at him. "Besides," she paused for a while before continuing "do you want to save Sapph and Brendan?"
"Heh. Fine then."
Silver
"Oooof!" The grunt shouted as he was kicked in the shin by a none other than Silver.
He grabbed the grunt's collar and asked him directly in the eyes "What the hell are you planning?"
"I don't know! It was the master's orders!" The grunt said trying to get out of Silver's tight grip.
"Well then who's your master?" He said still keeping that same tight grip on the poor grunt.
"She, she, she's Atsumi!" He screamed in terror as Silver eyes bore on to his and the tight grip Silver kept choked him.
"Where and who the hell is she?" He said, eyes stone cold.
"She's, she's, she's..." He refused to continue.
"SAY IT!" Silver said shaking him hard and the grunt agreed and continued, fearing for his life.
"She's in the ship right now! But once the ship docks, she'll be staying in the hotel Soul and Heart!" He said turning his head away, scared of the look in Silver's eyes.
"What does she look like?" He pressed on.
"She-" The grunt was cut-off when a bunch of other grunts came down and surrounded him.
"Damn!" He muttered under his breath.
"I think he's said enough." A female grunt said stepping out of the darkness.
She wore a black mini-skirt, long black boots that reached up to her knees, a black short-sleeved hoodie with the hood up and a white shirt that was sticking out from under the hoodie with a C in some sort of writing written on it. She took out a PokéBall from the her belt and held it in the palm of her gloved hand. A simple white leather glove with same symbol as the shirt in it.
"Toxeon, out now." She said as she brought out a dark purple Pokémon with three Espeon-like tails.
"Shit." Silver cursed as he took a step back.
"Don't back down now. I haven't showed you my skills yet." She smirked.
Silver was bout to take out one of his Pokémon and prepare them for battle until one of the grunts from behind shouted at her.
"Sorry Miss! But Atsumi-san wants us back in our room now!" he said.
She growled loudly and returned her Pokémon. "You got lucky kid."
Silver sighed in relief as he brought his hand up to his pockets. The mysterious gang disappeared into the darkness. A lot of questions were swirling in Silver's head as he looked at the now empty space in front of him. Questions like 'How'd they disappear' or 'Who were they?'. But one question stood out the most as it kept ringing through his ear.
What the hell did they want from me?
S.S. Faith
"So how'd you end up in the sea?" Asked Ash as he sat on the bed across Dawn's.
"I really can't remember anything after that." Yellow said in shame as she looked down at the floor she was currently sitting crossed-legged on.
"Why?" Dawn asked lying down on her bed looking down at Yellow on the floor.
"I don't know. All I know is that before I left me and Red's room, I heard voices saying 'Come with me Yellow.'" The blonde shuddered.
"Poor thing." Dawn said in sympathy.
"We'll get you back to your friends as soon as we meet up with them in Lotres." Ash said determination clear in his eyes as he stood up.
He went down his bed and walked over to Yellow as he bent down and patted her in the head. She looked up to see his brown eyes staring down at her yellow ones. She blushed a light shade of pink. So did Ash. Their face seemed to get closer and closer. Time stopped for the two of them and… … …
"Yeah! We'll find them for you!"Dawn said as she put the book she was reading earlier in between their faces. The surprised teens backed away in surprise.
"Ah!" Yellow said in astonishment as she fell down on the soft, carpeted floor.
"Ow Dawn." Ash said in irritation as he hit his head on the bed behind him.
"Whoops! Sorry for ruining your lovey-dovey moment." Dawn grunted and huffed as she returned back to her bed.
"We weren't having one!" Ash protested, his face glowing red.
"Really?" Dawn said standing up and walking towards the door. She opened it and went out, but not before saying "'Coz it looked like you were about to kiss."
She slammed the door close and left a confused and surprised Ash and a guilty looking Yellow. Silence engulfed the whole room. Yellow stood up and went up to Dawn's bed and looked at the book that Dawn previously read. She looked at the cover and the title before taking it with her and heading towards the door. Before she left, she looked back and smiled at Ash.
"Don't worry! I'll talk to her!" She grinned and went away leaving Ash with one thought in mind.
What the hell just happened?
S.S. Tower
The seven teens met up at the Pokémon Centre in the ship, in Red's assigned room.
"What happened to him?" Gold asked as he looked at the unconscious leader of the group.
"We really don't know. When we got up the second floor, we just saw him unconscious with his PokéBalls scattered on the ground." Blue said sighing desperately.
"Well, we'll have to figure it out soon 'coz we can't leave this boat with him unconscious." Crystal said as-a-mater-of-factly.
"Yeah." Blue agreed.
They all went out of Red's room and talked outside it as they didn't want to disturb him.
"So how are we gonna solve this dilemma when the only suspect is asleep?" Blue asked.
"That's a good point." Crystal agreed.
"That's easy." Green said as he got off the wall he was leaning on.
"Okay, how then Mr. Smart-ass?" Blue said glaring at him.
"We'll go back to the place where the crime happened." Green said in a 'Duh-isn't-it-obvious' kind of tone.
"We've been there before. We found nothing." Blue said walking up towards Green.
"That's 'coz we didn't check it thoroughly." Green glared at her.
"Well, Green has a point, but, before that..." Crystal trailed off. "Where's Yellow?"
Everyone looked at her and where about to answer when they heard a voice behind them.
"She got kidnapped."
Everyone turned to look at who spoke. They saw him standing there, leaning against the door frame, holding onto it.
Red.
