AN= It's been a while so here's an update! I'll try to get into the update-asap mode before my holiday ends so I hope you will anticipate better and frequent updates! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon or pokespe only Cyan, as of now.
[Narrator's P.O.V]
After Politoed and Hitmonee were knocked out, Crystal used her Parasect while Gold called out Typlosion.
"Parasee, dodge as you make the bomb!" Crystal said as Typhlosion launched fire wheels at Parasect.
"Typhlosion, move quickly! Wait, use Fire spin!" Gold said. Crystal paused as Parasect was trapped in a vortex of flames.
"Parasee! Don't move!" Crystal said. "but that'll make Typhlosion's aim on Parasee accurate..." Crystal muttered to herself.
Crystal took out her Pokedex and started calculating the statistics. 'She's really something...to be able to think even when her pokemon's trapped and is a major type disadvantage.' Gold thought as he waited for Crystal to make her move.
Now, all the 6 who were watching by the side were anticpating for the next move.
"Gold's really getting back at Crystal.." Ruby said as he started knitting again. Yellow was also now wide awake, ever since the whole place was lit up by the flames.
Crystal bit her lip. She watched the hoops of the fire rings circulating around her Parasect. "Now!" Crystal said as her Parasect shot the mixture that it had been formulating.
At the same time, Gold shouted, "Typhlosion! Flamethrower!"
Parasect's attack went by the bottom while Typholsion's attack directed straight from it's mouth.
Both attacks landed perfectly on the targets, blasting both pokemon backwards.
Typholsion became badly poisoned and was semi-paralyzed while Parasect was burned. It was clear to both Gold and Crystal that their pokemon will faint in a matter of time.
"SLASH!" Gold and Crystal said in unison as both pokemon tried their best to attack and dodge at the same time. However, they crashed into each other, slashing the daylights out of the opponent pokemon.
Both Pokemon fainted and Gold called out his Togetic while Crystal called out her Xatu.
The 6 on the side bench watch with amusement as Crystal and Gold were so focused on the battle that they did not realize that Yellow had knocked out also and was now fast asleep for real.
Red lifted her head from the bench and leaned it on his shoulder. Sapphire and Ruby did not notice this but this never escape the sharp and observant eyes of Blue and Green.
Blue's jaw dropped and Green face-palmed. Blue turned to Green who was just a seat away from her.
"Yellow is probably so tired from class and Passion class that she could even fall asleep watching a battle..." Blue said.
"How long has it been?" Blue said and Green turned to her. After some pondering, he answered, "3 years."
"Has it always been a crush or has it developed into something else?" Blue continued asking Green as Red, who was 3 seats in front of them, smiled at Yellow.
"It had developed really quickly and deep." Green said and closed his book. "Yellow isn't that observant and she is just that oblivious that she can't tell Red has stuff for her." He continued and Blue listened with great interest.
"But I heard that like it is not obvious to the person, which had been showered with love, that the other party likes her or him. That sounds confusing but you get it, right?" Blue said and Green nodded.
"That's...a little sad...for Red right?" Blue continued. Green sighed and nodded. "Yellow thinks that Red is just a mere good friend, am I right?" Blue said and Green nodded again.
Remembering what she was thinking about before she returned to the house, she turned to Green again. "Does Misty like Red?" Blue blurted out bluntly.
Green wasn't caught off guard and looked at Blue without moving his whole face. "Yes."
As Blue came out of Bill's house as a disguised person quietly, she saw an orange head and a boy with jet black hair with a cap.
Blue stood there, watching them as the Orange hair girl looked like she was trying hard to impress the boy who looked just like a mere friend. Nothing more.
Just as Blue was about to sneak away, a girl with pigtails came abruptly, scaring the boy away.
The Orange head looked annoyed and pissed off as she walked towards the girl with pigtails and confronted her.
"Oh!" Blue said as the memory came back to her. Green glanced at her sudden 'Oh!'
"Misty was about to confess then..." Blue carried on concluding out loud to herself, totally forgetting Green could hear her.
"Come again?" Green said as his attention was back on Blue. "Shoots." Blue muttered under her breath. "It's nothing. Woah, Crystal and Gold are at their fourth pokemon already!" Blue said as she changed the topic quickly and turned to Crystal and Gold.
Green didn't bother asking her and just stared at Crystal and Gold's battle.
[Blue's P.O.V]
Misty is never ever ever ever getting Red. I will never let that happen.
Thank God, Red loves Yellow. I didn't even bother saying 'like' because just 10 days here in this school, I could feel that what Red feels for Yellow is love.
It all makes sense now that I remembered that incident. I can't believe that Misty stills like Red. It has been 5 years.
If not for Crystal accidentally interrupting them (and in the process, getting labelled as a 'pest'), Red and Misty probably would be together. (Well, erm, since Red is too too nice to reject anybody I had guessed.)
I looked at Sapphire and Ruby, who were just a seat apart from each other, like Green and I. It looks like they have a complicated relationship...they are neither straight enemies nor straight friends. They seem more than friends...
I looked at Crystal and Gold, who have determined looks on their faces. They refused to give up even though it was past midnight.
Just then, another conclusion struck me.
What if the pairings here are places together intentionally?
Wait, that means...
Shit! Hell no!
I peeked to Green who was still focused on the match and shook my head violently.
Green and I are barely friends. It's like we are friends but it also seems we are just mere desk mates.
Nope, just screw that pairing theory.
[Cyan's P.O.V]
I stared at the sheet Lance had handed me earlier today and the detailed, desk mate pairing sheet that I got from Lorelei.
"Maybe I could ask Gold, the breeder to help me breed the specific eevee eggs for each pair. Oh and the Day-Care man and lady too..." I talked to myself.
Just then, I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders. I turned instinctively but jerked my head backwards when this person's face was too close.
"Hello Cyan." Steven said as he withdrew himself and walked to take another chair. Once he sat down, I opened my mouth.
"What were you trying to do?" I raised my eyebrow. "I was just trying to see what you were doing and give you a surprise!" Steven said and raised both his arms, as if proving his innocence.
I said nothing. "What you working on?" Steven said. "I'm just sorting out some administrative stuff for my class. I'm assigning a practical project work for each desk mate pair and we need eevees and the only way is by breeding and I read that Gold is a really good breeder so maybe I will enlist the help of Gold and the Day Care husband and wife."
"They stay in Johto right?" Steven said and I nodded. "I need to borrow Karen's Umbreon and Will's Espeon too...although I have my Espeon." I said.
"Well why?" Steven asked. "It's because, I'm sort of guessing that Karen and Will have a good relationship and good relationship between owners is likely to produce better eggs." I said and smiled.
"That means Karen and Will are..?" Steven said after realizing what I had hinted. "Shh! I'm just trying to test their relationship! I actually have eevees or different gender. It's just an excuse!" I said, explaining to Steven.
Steven and I stared at each other, before laughing out. This resulted me to knock my head backwards, actually falling off my chair. This is so not me.
I used my quick reflexes but because it was too sudden, my body was actually falling. "Got you!" Steven said as he caught me by the waist.
I froze for a moment, clearly remembering my first encounter with Steven when I was in Hoenn, which was similar. "Thanks Steven." I said and he smiled. Steven's smile had never changed since I met him 7 years ago.
"What else were you going to say before you fell?" Steven continued. "They seem to have a deep and strong oast together." Steven oh-ed and nodded.
"You should have an early night. Go and rest. Good night." Steven said and patted my shoulder before walking off.
I suddenly rushed forward and hugged him from the back and blurted out, "Thanks for being understanding. You are the first to know the whole thing."
"You are my friend, of course I understand." Steven said and turned back and smiled. "Good night to you I guess." I said and he smiled and left the room.
[Narrator's P.O.V]
When Steven left the room, he suddenly felt this weird feeling he never felt before. "Steven, you know it can't happen! Snap out of it!" Steven muttered to himself before walking off.
Unbeknownst to Steven, Cyan heard his mutter.
"What are you saying Steven? What's wrong with you?" Cyan whispered to herself as she walked away from the door.
The battle ended with Gold winning just at the last bit. "I guess we are even now." Gold said to Crystal. "Nope, you ruined my clean record." Crystal said and Gold stopped walking.
The 5 of them (Yellow was being carried by Red, still asleep.), rolled their eyes and stormed off quickly.
"Not that again!" Gold said, annoyed by Crystal. "It's just an effin' record! Can you drop it? That record of yours is clean enough for people to know that you are too good a person. Besides, people don't look at records to judge a person's character!" Crystal was slightly taken aback and quickly pondered on Gold's words before sighing.
"Fine! I'll drop that topic. I'll never bring it up again. Sorry, for being a bitch" Crystal said, and extended her hand.
Gold looked at it for a while before shaking it and smiled. "You are not a bitch, alright?" Crystal laughed.
"By the way, good battle." Crystal said to Gold as they headed off to their rooms.
Red went into Yellow's room and placed her carefully on her bed. He tucked her in and made sure she was covered properly.
Red stared at Yellow and smiled when he saw her sleeping peacefully. He gently touched her cheek and swept her bangs to the side.
Green and Blue, who were walking pass at that time were shocked by Red's action. Green was quick to react; he pushed Blue quietly and quickly out of Red's vision.
"What's wrong?" Blue asked as they climbed the stairs. "Red is my good friend, I don't want to betray him. If he sees you there, he'll probably assume that I told you. Not worth losing a good friend because of you." Green said monotonously.
"Like I'm not worth losing a friend?" Blue said and rolled her eyes storming off slightly ahead of him.
'So he does care about his friends..' Blue thought as they made their way to their rooms. Once they were in front of their room, they exchanged good nights and headed into their room.
[The next morning]
The dex holders gathered at the dining area for breakfast as usual. Just then, A Plusle and Minun came hopping towards them with envelopes.
The Minun hopped to Gold while Plusle hopped to Crystal. Both Gold and Crystal opened the top of the envelope and read the contents. As if they received the same letter, they said, "I need to go back to Johto this Saturday."
All 6 housemates looked at Gold and Crystal, with similar thoughts. They were shocked at their synchronization and they were curious about the letter.
"Did you guys receive the same letter?" Blue broke the awkward tension.
Gold and Crystal shook their heads again in unison. "Definitely not. My letter is from the Day-Care man and lady, who are actually my relatives."
"Mine's from my mother." Crystal said. The rest 'Oh'-ed and carried on with their breakfast. "But, why do you to need to go back at the same time?" Ruby asked.
Gold and Crystal paused. They opened their mouths and stated their reasons at the same time.
"Erm, Gold, Crystal, maybe you wanna take turns talking?" Yellow proposed. They both stopped talking and Gold gestured a 'ladies-first' hand and Crystal rolled her eyes.
"I need to attend my twin sister's graduation at her school." Crystal said. "I need to help my grand-uncle and grand-aunt breed some eggs." Gold continued.
"Have fun, you two!" Blue said. All the housemates turn to Blue and looked at her. Blue ignored their looks and placed a spoonful of fruits into her mouth.
"How was the match yesterday? Sorry, I was kinda tired and fell asleep." Yellow said as she ruffled her hair and smiled at Gold and Crystal.
"I won!" Gold had his smirk on immediately. Crystal said nothing and poked her pancakes with her fork.
"Crystal, why are you stabbing the pancakes?" Sapphire said. A few of them laughed
It was their late day, which allowed them to slowly eat and enjoy their breakfast. "I was thinking about the Legendary bird trio. Who could be that powerful enough to capture all three?" Sapphire voiced out.
Blue looked up sharply before shoving another a spoonful of fruits in her mouth. "From what I know, that person has encounter them before because then, it would make capturing easier because the birds are familiar with the trainer." Green said and the others nodded.
"Well, the only time I've seen them interacting with humans is during the Mask of Ice incident." Red said and the others nodded again. "Enough about the legendary pokemon, what portfolio assignments have you received this semester?" Blue said and changed about the topic.
Green couldn't help but notice that Blue always changes topic randomly, as if the topic they had been speaking has got to do with her.
"We mostly received paper work, paper work and paper work." Ruby said, giving up on counting the amount of work they have received. Sapphire sighed after Ruby said.
"We have a lot of weird assignments. We have fieldwork, paper work, practical work, basically every kind of work." Crystal answered.
"We have lots of pair work,practical and paper work." Yellow said.
"Wait, all of you guys are in pairs?" Blue said, slightly shocked. The rest nodded and Blue widened her eyes slightly. "That's funny." Blue said.
"Are all assignments given in pair works?" Blue continued.
The other 7 looked at each other, shook their heads. "This is the first time this has happened." Red said. Blue said nothing. 'There's definitely something, like a special arrangement...especially after when I arrived here...'
After they were done with breakfast, they left the apartment for school.
"How long has it been when you last attacked?" An unknown voice said.
"It has been 10 days, sir." A man knelt down as he said this to the unknown voice.
"Let's attack again." The first voice said.
"But sir! Blue of Pallet Town is surrounded by good, strong trainers! She is also desk mates with the famous pokemon researcher's grandson, Viridian City Gym Leader, Green Oak! We are likely to taste defeat if we attack again." Another voice emerged.
"What's more, the elite fours, Steven and Cyan are there too, we need to come up with a plan first, not be so reckless." The second voice continued.
"Alright, you two make good points, let's just send people there to spy." The first voice said. "At once."
"Yes Sir!" The two voice said and exited out of the room.
The man turned to the side table which had a photograph of him, Pryce and the mask children. He focused on the girl who was in a black dress.
'We'll all be back together to dominate the world. I'm sure and will make it happen.'
[Blue's P.O.V]
"Is it me, or is Lorelei PMS-ing and moody as hell?" I said as Green and I left homeroom.
Green gave me the what-the-heck face and rolled his eyes. "What?!" I said and rolled my eyes. "Teachers have their bad days. Mind your own business."
Geez, talking to Green is hard! I can't even talk about random topics. If he ever got a girlfriend, I might actually start liking him.
Of all things, why would a person like him and I get paired together? The other pairs are at least on friendly terms.
Green is probably one of the most peculiar person I have ever met.
We walked silently down the hallway to our next class, getting stares from everyone. I sighed. This had been going on since day 1 and I always had the urge to gouge out their eyeballs. They will first look at Green Oak then me.
If I told everyone about my true identity, I believe their eyes will pop out and roll on the floor, I need no Green Oak to become popular. But, no. I came here not to popular.
When we were outside the class, I cut Green's walking lane and walked into class before. I could hear a 'tsk' coming from him.
When Green was behind me, a group of girls huddled around him. I had to stifle a laugh. It looks like he needs me after all. Well, erm to protect him.
Once he managed to fight his way through the girls and drop into his seat beside me, he rolled his eyes.
"One day, your eyeballs are just going to roll out of your eyes." I said. Green merely looked at me with the what-the-f*ck face.
"I guess you need me to protect you from those girls." I commented and shook my head. "Do whatever you want." Green said and started reading his material.
We might not be straight friends but he is definitely a fun person sometimes. The lesson began and it was geography with Steven Stone.
Steven wasn't as lively as he usually was and that is weird. It was as if there was something bugging him so badly. He would constantly throw looks to Green and being Green's table partner, I could tell.
Today is probably a teacher's bad day like what Green said. Once geography was over, Green and I headed out of class. Green pulled me slightly closer to him. Probably getting a little scared over that sudden, traumatizing 'fan-meet' he had a class ago.
This gave me a better chance to talk to him. "Did you realize Steven was constantly looking at you during class?" I said and Green nodded.
"It's creepy." He said as we headed straight for the cafeteria. I suddenly started thinking deeply.
What creeps me is how I am so used to being alone with him and doing daily habits like walking to the cafeteria and to classes with Green Oak.
Even though I was taught to learn to adapt and adjust to new environment since young, I actually feel comfortable and happy now, unlike last time, where I forced myself to remember what I should and should not do and it was uncomfortable.
As usual, Review! See you in next chapter!
