Did I ever want to grow up?
I am hoping this chapter will be very long. This chapter may contain a little Yellow drama, and for that I am so sorry. It will, as Delighted Slice says, be quite light-hearted.
"Yellow?" asked Red groggily, upon noticing that the bed next to his was empty.
"Yes?" answered a voice from the restroom.
"Uh, nothing…" Red blushed.
"Well…Red, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Um…well, you know how you saw my memories of Hu-Kasa and all…"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering if you would like to hear my take on those memories to reveal info."
"Sure."
Yellow stepped out of the restroom, wearing her new usual, a yellow tee and Blue's black dress. Her hair was very long now, and when she walked up to Red, she was at his eye level. She sat down, looking at her lap.
"Red…she was my first friend there. Many people were going to be my friends, but they were scared when they discovered my power. It's a healing power, but…I have something most people don't. That's why kids where scared…but Hu-Kasa, she was the first kid that ever stuck by me, even when I told her my power."
"Yellow, I-I-I didn't know-"
"No, It's fine," Yellow sighed. "You know…When I got back to my house after the challenge back at the Battle Frontier, I got a letter. It was from my scared friend, Nina. It said: 'Dear Amarillo, or Yellow,
When I found out there was a new pokedex holder, I was so excited. When I saw your face, I thought, 'Is that Amarillo? But he's a guy, she's a girl.' When you were turned into a statue, following many unfortunate events, everyone in the whole wide world knew you were a girl. I can't believe I was so cruel.
I hope you forgive me,
Nina.'"
"Yellow…you must have been…terrified."
"To say the least," Yellow said, somewhat bitterly.
"Yellow, I can't believe I let you go through…all that. You took the risk of a pokedex holder. You shouldn't have. I shouldn't have let you go through those hardships just to rescue me, rescue everyone…" Red started scolding himself.
"Red! Don't say that…I wanted to help you. You helped me, rescuing me from the Dratini, got me Ratty, and you even defeated Giovanni! I had so much to thank you for…"
Yellow started crying. She felt so useless and spoiled. They were going to defeat a horrible man, just because he was tied in with her. She had to wish that she would grow up, when inside, she knew he would never want that. How could she have been so naive and gullible? She got up, then ran, ignoring Red's protests. She ran and ran, not knowing where she was going. She wasn't going to cause her friends harm anymore. She was going to face Hu-Kasa, or Toxin-Wing.
When she stopped running, she found herself at the place Hu-Kasa and she had always went to play. It was old and rusted now, the occasional creak making the scene even more sad. She sat on the swing, swinging back and forth, crying her eyes out. Her once kind and cheerful hazel eyes were so empty, it was like she had depression-which she did have, now. So much had changed because of Blue's plan, but Yellow still didn't blame Blue. She blamed herself for everything now.
Then, a powerful gust of wind blew a paper into Yellow's un-expecting hand. It was a newspaper article from the Kanto Times. (A/N: …New York Times…)
TOXIN-WING AIMS FOR THE POKEDEX HOLDERS!
Toxin-Wing, a much feared criminal, was spotted near Prof Oak's lab. She was trying to break in, as she had her equally feared Zubat slicing at the poor building. We bring you our interview with Prof Oak:
Q: Do you know why she was attempting to break in?
A: No, I am afraid not. Perhaps she has a grudge with one of our pokedex holders.
Q: Are you going to call the pokedex holders to take care of her?
A: And give her what she wants? No. Of course not.
Q: Do you have a guess to whom she might have a grudge with?
A: Red, maybe, or Silver. Possibly even Green or Blue. I can't imagine any of the Hoen or Sinnoh having a grudge with her. I can't imagine Yellow either, she's too nice.
Q: Do you think she will try and go against the pokedex holders, who are currently in the Kanto?
A: Yes. I am not giving you any exact places, but yes, she will strike.
Q: Do you have any info on Toxin-Wing's life before she became a criminal?
A: No, but I will ask my pokedex holders.
Yellow gasped, then ran towards Red's house.
When she reached his house, she yelled, "Hu-Kasa, uh, Toxin-Wing tried into Prof Oak's lab!"
Green immediately came down, followed by Red, Blue, Sapph, Ruby, Chris, and Gold. Silver walked out from the living room; he had just arrived 15 minutes ago.
"What?" Green cried, grabbing the article from Yellow's hands.
"So…he's going to come and question us," Blue aid calmly while reading over Green's shoulder.
"What should we do?" Chris asked worriedly.
"Answer him; truthfully," Blue replied as if it were obvious.
Chris and Blue started to argue; of course they should trust Prof Oak, but how would they explain?
Yellow was silent between their argument until Blue said, "Well, Chris, we need to have Prof Oak see Yellow!"
Yellow exclaimed, "No! I can't!"
"Why not?" asked Blue in surprise.
"Because…because…"
"Jeez, Blue," Red interjected in. "She doesn't want to."
"…Well, then, what do we do?"
"Maybe be truthful," said a voice from the door.
"Grandpa?" Green gasped, shocked.
"Yes," Prof Oak said curtly. "Why were you arguing? I have come to question you."
"Excuse me, could you move?" asked Oak irritably to Yellow, whom he obviously hadn't recognized.
"Um, okay," Yellow squeaked, trying her best to look as un-Yellow as possible.
Apparently, though, Blue had other ideas.
"Prof Oak! That's Yellow you're speaking too!" Blue scolded.
"Don't be silly, Blue, she's just a slut of a fan-girl that is dressing like Yellow!"
Now Red had had it. Oak calling Yellow a slut?
"PROF OAK! THAT IS YELLOW! SHE IS NOT A SLUT!" screamed Red.
Prof Oak finally looked at Yellow properly. His eyes widened, realizing she was Yellow-Had she had her growth spurt?-and muttered a 'sorry'.
"Oh, well…I have come to question you. But first, why is Yellow…er, uh-"
Blue explained everything, and Prof Oak was silent for a bit.
"Well, anyway...all my questions have been answered…Toxin-Wing is working for…Gespaccho, and is after Yellow…"
After some discussion, Prof Oak left.

After Prof Oak left, Blue went to her guest room, proud of her confessions of truth. Uncannily, Gold and Crystal were staying in the living room, Sapph and Ruby in Aunt Meria's unused room, and Green was in the guest room with 1 bed and a cot, sharing with Blue. (A/N: I AM NOT HAVING CHARACTERS IN 1 BED DOING SOMETHING RATED M!)
She thought about how she had met Red and Green. She had basically robbed Red, but from that one robbery, a friendship was formed, which led to her meeting Green. He was her rival since she had stolen a squirtle from his grandpa. But now…she couldn't help but fall for him. He was her opposite sometimes, but he was nice to her, despite their rocky start. He still called her 'pesky' and 'obnoxious', but not recently with what had happened. She somewhat enjoyed the insults, though, knowing he at least was aware of her presence. She, the person that knew of the whole team's crushes, was blind to the fact Green did like her. She thought he hated her…most of the time. She sighed. She knew about everybody-from Red and Yellow (well, it was obvious) to Chris and Gold. She even knew about the very hard-to-notice crush between Silver and Lyria, who she'd met once.
She heard a noise outside her door-oh, it was only Yellow passing by to get to Red's room. Now Blue felt instantly guilty. She had only had done this plan to get Yellow with Red, but she ended up bringing some troubles along with it. Horrible troubles, to be more exact. She had deceived Yellow and tricked her mind. She had unintentionally gave Toxin-Wing-or Hu-Kasa- a way to get to Yellow. Blue sighed, then lied down, sleeping tiredly.
Green came in a few minutes later, glancing at Blue sleeping on the cot. When they had first come to stay, Blue wanted the bed, but when she confessed about what she did, she started sleeping on the cot. She was trying to punish herself, Green realized just then. He watched her sleeping form. He looked at her…watched her face smile in her dream…and thought she looked beautiful…WAIT! He sputtered on his last thought. 'No! I can't think of her that way…' he thought.
Green shook his head, trying to convince himself he was just tired. He tried falling asleep, but a certain brunette blue-eyed girl kept popping up in his head…

The sun slowly rose, and Chris stirred. She opened her eyes, stretched, and got up. She didn't bring any spare clothes, so she was always in her attire. She walked to the kitchen, glad that Red's mom was out helping the police. Crystal got out some bread and ouran berry jelly. She brought out the plates, placing the bread with the jam on them neatly. She poured out cups of milk and set all of them on the didning room table. Then she walked out, ready to do some more check-ups on Yellow.
When she got to Red's room, Red was already up, examining the memory that had been displayed on the computer.
"Chris," he asked, "Do you know why Gespaccho would want Yellow's…blood?"
"Well, I have some theories," Crystal hesitated, but continued. "For one, she is blessed by the Viridian Forest, right? So he might have wanted to get that power or do experiments with it."
"Yeah…I'll be in the living room, ok?"
After Red left, Chris examined Yellow arms. She had been cut when she came home from the forest a few days ago. Chris was relieved to see that they were fine, just a few scars. Next, she examined her pulse. It was relatively normal, but it was still quite fast. Chris sighed in relief, then left. She found Red at the dining table, munching on a piece of toast. (A/N: If any of you have read Zoey and Fin's Adventures in Pokespe!, then you know how it is to eat meat in the pokemon world.)
Chris sat down and took a piece for herself. After chewing in silence for a few minutes, Red broke the silence. "Chris, um, nice cooking."
Crystal couldn't help but smile at Red's feeble attempt at a normal conversation. True, she had been yearning for some talk about something ordinary, everyday. She didn't like how most of their exchanged sentences were about danger and battle. Breaking her trail of thought, a voice said, "Mmmm, looks good!"
CHRIS'S POV
"Then eat," I said to Gold, who was already hungrily tearing at the poor piece of bread.
Watching Gold act rude and immature was easy for me. It was part of everyday life. But when he was serious, it was scary. He was always so care-free, it was hard not to be scared when he was serious. The way his face gets all angry and his voice gets loud-wait, I pay attention to that? Uh…disregard that!

NO ONE!
"Tosin-Ala, I metodi di tempo," said a man with an Italian accent. (A/N: No duh he's speaking Italian. If you have a MAC, then use the 'dashboard', which I used, but if not, it means: Toxin Wing, the time approaches.)
"SA, so, padroneggio." (Yes, I know, master.)
"Quello scelto A effettivamente agitato, Tosin-Ala." (The chosen one is indeed restless, Toxin-Wing.)
"Devons-nous commuter des langages une fois que nous entrons dans une nouvelle tache?" asked Tosin-Ala, uh, Toxin-Wing, in french. (Must we switch languages once we enter anew spot?)
"No," said Gespaccho with a heavy French accent. "But we must pretend to them. You are my daughter and we are from that horrible region, France, where they eat politoads. I am Monseuir (did I spell it right?) Pacch, and you are Elle Ala."
"Yes, Mast-er, papa."

"Yellow, are you feeling ok?" asked Red after finishing his breakfast and bringing up hers.
"Fine," croaked Yellow, who's head only showed up underneath her blankets. "The full moon is in 4 days, Red."
"I know…this is bad."
"Maybe…but you know, your Aunt Meria…"
"Yes, I suspect that too."
Ok, ok! This chapter is 11 pages in Microsoft Word! I hope it looks long in the FF format! I worked on this for like 5 days! I started this before I posted chapter 7, you know. I wish luck for Delighted Slice's 'Courage' and Pokespe-I mean, Eye of Mikhail's (Uh, is this spelled right?) new ZAFA chapter! Just to warn you, I will be gone from the Monday after Xmas to uh, say, the Saturday after Xmas. I will bring my Apple Mac, the computer I am using now, but I will be busy up in vacation! I will tell you how it goes…if you are interested! VOTE!
