Red's Pov (Route 35, nearing Goldenrod City)

After walking away from those two girls, we now found ourselves close to Goldenrod. However...

"We would like for you three to travel with us!" The bluenette, who I think was called Dawn, said. Yellow's eyes widened, the blonde looking at me and Leaf for an answer. I didn't say anything. Everything I had too say was directed at that rude brunette girl May. Right from the start she hated me and Leaf. I could tell she'd rather leave me and my sister behind.

Yellow seemed to be thinking about it, still looking at us for an answer. I immediately wanted to say no, but at the same time I knew that'd make Yellow upset. I narrowed my eyes at May, who glared in return. I don't hate her. It'd be pretty stupid to hate somebody who I don't even know. I just dislike how she is treating me and my twin. As if we aren't treated bad enough by some people in the messed up world.

"W-Well um, I-I would love to travel with you, but.." Yellow began. May rolled her eyes, "Nothing is stopping you from travelling with us." Dawn smiled softly at Yellow. I looked at Yellow, noticing how nervous she was. 'That May girl hates us, doesn't she?' I looked at Leaf, noticing her hands fidgeting slightly. 'Most likely, Leaf. It seems she hates us.' May's eyes were darting between me and Leaf, as if we would do something to her any second now.

It's so obvious. She doesn't like us at all. She doesn't trust us.

"Hey Red and Leaf, what do you think?" Dawn asked. I could tell how hopeful she was. 'Yellow wants to travel with Dawn and May. I can tell.' Leaf said. I sighed, looking at Yellow, before looking back at my sister. 'Fine. We'll travel with them, but only because Yellow really wants too.' Leaf nodded, "We'll travel with you two." Dawn squealed happily, hugging a shocked Yellow while May rolled her eyes.

"I'm so happy you will travel with us!" Dawn squealed. Yellow smiled happily, "I'm happy to travel with you and May as well! I hope we can all become close friends!" May faked a smile, sending a glare towards me and Leaf. Dawn and Yellow were busy talking, not noticing the glare me and Leaf were receiving. I gladly returned it, while Leaf looked down at the ground.

'I don't like being hated..' I frowned, glaring at May more. Leaf slowly put her hoodie back up, covering most of her hair. I did the same thing, our bangs shadowing our eyes once more. If we were heading to Goldenrod, we might as well hide ourselves once more. We weren't exactly.. liked.

"Alright then! Goldenrod shouldn't be to far now, right?" Dawn exclaimed. Yellow nodded, "It's just a few minutes ahead actually!" Dawn cheered happily, May seeming to have forgotten us. May and Dawn walked ahead while Yellow stood back, waiting for us. We followed the blonde, making sure to stay away from May.

"Yellow! Come join us! As well as you twins!" Dawn called. Yellow walked faster to catch up, but me and Leaf stayed back. We didn't want to be near May at all. The walk towards the city was quiet for me and Leaf, while Dawn chatted away. Yellow seemed to be having fun, which made me smile lightly. Sometimes, I wonder what life would be like if we all stayed in Kanto..

Leaf nudged me, making me look up. I noticed we were now at Goldenrod. Yellow was telling Dawn and May all about the city, while I tried to calm my nerves. Leaf looked at me worriedly, but didn't say anything. We headed into the city, the sound of laughter reaching my ears. I strained to hear certain conversations, sighing when nothing important reached my ears.

"Okay," Dawn said, "I think we should see if we can get a room at the Pokémon Center! Then, we can stock up on supplies at the store. Afterwards, we'll start planning our next location!" She finished. May spoke up, "Why don't we split up? So we won't waste time. The twins," May said, or more like sneered," Can go get supplies for us." Dawn looked surprised, nodding slowly. ""O-Okay then. Red and Leaf, can you get these supplies?" Dawn handed Leaf a list, the three of them leaving.

Leaf sighed, finally speaking after what seemed to be hours, "That was obviously a successful attempt at getting rid of us for a while." Leaf muttered. I nodded, looking at the list. "Let's just get this over with." I growled. Leaf nodded, walking towards the Pokemart. "Dawn never specified which store. She just said to get supplies. How about we go to the Pokemart first, then the department store?" I asked. Leaf nodded.

Cold air hit us as we entered the Pokemart, the sight of people conversing and buying goods greeting me. I sighed, heading towards the counter with Leaf. The cashier looked up, smiling slightly at us. "May I help you two?" I nodded, not daring to show my eyes.

The cashier laughed nervously, "A-Alright then sir, unless.." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him. "We'll have twenty Super Potions please." Leaf mumbled. The cashier nodded, reaching for the potions. He placed them on the counter, smiling as Leaf handed over the money. "You two girls stay safe now!"

My eye twitched as we left the store, Leaf snickering.

"He called you a girl." Leaf giggled. "Yeah, I noticed. Why did I have to have a high voice like you." Leaf giggled more as we headed towards the department store. The doors slid open with a soft hiss as we entered. I looked around, trying to find the floor where they sold Pokémon food. "Red," Leaf whispered, "That guy is glaring at us." I looked up, eyes widening.

Well, this just went downhill, didn't it?

I quickly grabbed Leaf's hand, running out of the store. The guy was right on our heels, but he wasn't alone. A girl and boy were right behind him, catching up in speed. They looked pretty angry. I looked at Leaf, seeing how confused she was as we ran as fast as possible. We were way faster than them, which was great. I saw the Pokémon Center coming into view, and I pushed myself to run faster.

A sharp pang in my head made me stumble, my heart skipping a beat as I looked behind me. The brunette had gotten Leaf, holding her by her head. "You." He snarled, green eyes narrowed in hatred. The Pokémon center doors opened as Yellow, Dawn and May walked out. They were busy talking, though they went quiet when they noticed the new people. "H-Hey! What is going on here?!" Yellow cried, rushing forward.

"Hey! She is that girl who was with those thieves!" The orange hair girl said. The raven haired boy next to her stepped forward, his Pikachu looking slightly confused. "Your friend here stole from us!" Yellow looked shocked, looking at me and Leaf. "You have the wrong people! None of us stole from you at all!" Yellow cried out.

This isn't good..

Leaf biting her lip to keep from crying out in pain, which I could feel as well. I stepped forward, glaring angrily at the green-eyed male, "Well than, your friends must be keeping secrets from you. He stole from us!" The brunette growled, shaking my sister. I glared angrily at him, though he didn't notice it.

"Okay, first off, Leaf is a she. Second, I doubt they stole from you." Dawn said. The guy holding Leaf looked surprised, looking between me and my sister. "Are you sure? I'm positive this is the guy." He shook Leaf once more, my sister trying to break free from his strong grasp. "Will you let go of her already?!" I yelled.

The guy finally dropped her, Leaf yelping as she hit the ground. "So, enough with the stalling. Why did you steal?" I face palmed. I took off my hood, letting my hair and eyes show. Leaf hesitantly did the same thing, letting her hair fall. The guy did a double take, looking between us in shock. "Wait.. what?" I sighed.

"My sister wasn't the one that stole from you. It was me." I growled. Leaf looked away, while Yellow stared in horror. I never told Yellow about my habits. I couldn't stop stealing. "First, why do the both of you look exactly the same? Second, why did you steal?" The raven haired guy asked. Orange haired girl face palmed, "Ash. Have you ever considered that they might be TWINS?!" Ash shook his head.

"Sorry Mist, I didn't consider it." Ash replied nervously. The brunette sighed, "I'm sorry then uh.." He trailed off, shaking his head, "Anyways, why did you steal then?" He asked once more. I shrugged, "Like I said before, I stole because I felt like it." I replied. His eye twitched, "That is a stupid reason." Brunette boy growled. "Okay Gary, calm down." Misty muttered, rolling her eyes.

The brunette, who I now know is named Gary, ignored her. He walked forward, staring me down. "Where is my Trainer ID? Where is my money that you stole?" Ash stepped forward, "Where is our supplies?" I felt cornered as the three of them stepped forward, glaring darkly at me.

Leaf suddenly appeared between us, a frown on her face as she stopped the three people from attacking me. "If there is any money or food he stole from you, it is long gone. I'm sorry for that. However, Gary, Red may have your Trainer ID." Leaf explained. Ash and Misty stomped their feet in anger, while Gary sighed. "Fine, it was just twenty dollars. However, I want my ID back now." Leaf cowered from his glare. I glared back at him.

"O-Okay.." Yellow finally spoke up, everyone looking at her, "I-I'm really s-sorry for what Red did.. Please, forgive him! W-We'll make it up to you! W-What do you want?" Yellow stuttered in fear. Ash frowned, "Gary wants his ID thing back, and I want the food back." I looked between everyone. May was smirking, and I wanted nothing more than to wipe that smirk off her face.

"See Dawn? I told you those twins couldn't be trusted." May sneered.

Everyone looked at her with mixed confusion and anger. 'Red, Yellow is going to be so mad at us..' Leaf whimpered. I frowned, seeing the blonde looking around. Her eyes didn't dare land on us though. 'More like she is disappointed and shocked. She can't be like this forever though, right?' Leaf had no answer for that, looking at the ground.

"Okay then, since obviously your food isn't here, I propose an agreement!" Ash and Misty raised a brow at that, "How about you three travel with us? You'll have food, water, shelter and company!" Dawn cheered. Ash and Misty thought it over.

"However," Dawn said, "In return I want you three to help me get revenge on Rocket, no, revenge on all the organizations holding control over our regions. I'm sure you all have problems with Rocket or Galactic, or even Magma and Aqua." Ash's eyes darkened, while Misty looked at the ground. I could see Gary's fists clench, making Leaf shiver in fear.

"Well then?" Dawn said with a smirk. Misty sighed, "I don't know. I don't think that'd wor-"

"We'll do it."

Misty stared in shock at Ash, who was clenching his fists with an angry look in his eyes. "You'll do it?" Misty was about to object when Ash nodded once more, "Good! Nice to have you three join our group!" Dawn said happily. Gary frowned, "I have no reason to join. So, I think it is time I get my ID back so I can leave." He glared at me. Ash frowned, "Gary, we get a chance to fight back against Rocket and them. I think you should stay." Ash said.

Gary frowned, about to speak when Leaf interrupted him. "I think you should join! It'll be really fun! Plus, you can get a new ID after we destroy Rocket! Free food, water, and more!" Gary sighed, his eyes looking at Leaf. Gary suddenly smiled, a smile that only I seemed to notice. It unnerved both me and Leaf. "You know what? I'll join." Dawn cheered happily, but only one thing ran through my mind.

He joined for another reason, and I would find out why..

Lyra's Pov (Nearing Goldenrod)

I'm surrounded by two anti-social boys and a green-haired idiot.

How lovely.

"Lyra, are we almost there?" Drew asked. Again. Ignore.

Paul and Silver have been quiet throughout this whole walk, though they had about twenty glaring contests during the walk to Goldenrod. I felt as if I was losing my mind. Being stuck with anti-social people and an idiot who had green hair was bad. Speaking of the idiot who had green hair..

Drew was trying to get Silver to talk, and failing miserably as he tried. If there is one thing I noticed, it's that Silver and Paul are extremely similar. They are both mean, they both are quiet, and they both like to ignore Drew. However, they have some differences as well. In terms of emotion, Paul showed more than Silver. Paul also talked more than Silver. Silver was easily annoyed though, while Paul wasn't as easily annoyed.

"Hey! There is Goldenrod City!" Drew yelled, which was completely unnecessary. I sent a glare at him, before I looked at the entrance to Goldenrod. The city was always beautiful, even after the war..

"Okay," I turned to look at the three boys, "Since none of the homes in Goldenrod were destroyed yet, that means we'll be able to stay at the Pokémon Center." Drew sighed in relief, "No more sleeping in towers!" I rolled my eyes. Paul raised a brow, "I'm surprised no Rockets are roaming the streets." Paul grumbled. I nodded. The radio tower is important, yet the organization doesn't seem to be anywhere at all. Oh well!

We walked inside the city, a smile forming on my face as laughter reached my ears. I loved seeing people happy, it always reminded me that there was still hope for the future!

"So, are we just going to stand here all day?" Silver asked. I ignored him, making my way towards the Pokémon Center. Drew walked inside the center, falling onto the seats with a sigh, "Finally, I can relax!" I heard him say.

I watched Paul and Silver walk towards the phones, most likely going to see if Paul's brother has gotten better. I walked up to the nurse, who was busy on some paperwork. "Excuse me Nurse Joy," She looked up with a smile, "I was wondering if you have any rooms available?" Nurse Joy looked at her computer, checking for any available rooms. She smiled, "You're in luck! I have two rooms available!" I sighed in relief. "Okay then, can I have both rooms? One for me, and one for those three idiots over there." Nurse Joy nodded, handing me two keys. "Thank you!" I called to her as I walked back to the Drew.

Drew looked up as I dropped a key in front of him, "There, for you, Paul and Silver. You three are sharing a room." I left before he could rage at me, hearing his angry screams as I walked towards the room where food was located. I didn't need to waste the supplies of food we had, and the Pokémon Center always seemed to have food available. Might as well take advantage of it.

I quickly got dinner for everyone, setting the food down onto the table when I returned. Silver seemed to have the Pokémon food ready, his Feraligatr eating happily. Paul's Torterra was eating as well, while Absol was eating a few feet away from the huge Pokémon. Meganium released herself from her ball, happily sitting next to Feraligatr and starting to eat.

I picked at my food with a sigh, my eyes wandering over to Silver. I didn't know much about him at all. Then again, I didn't know much about Paul or Drew either. Silver interested me the most though. With Paul, it was easy to tell that he wanted revenge for his brother. With Drew, it was easy to tell that something happened to him in Hoenn. I couldn't tell what was wrong with Silver though.

What is he hiding? Is it something sad, or horrifying?

"Please stop staring at me while I eat." Silver snapped. I flinched, but otherwise let it go. "Sorry not sorry." I answered back, smirking when his eye twitched in annoyance. He glared lightly at me, going back to his food after a moment. I sighed, pulling out my Pokegear. Maybe there were some news on the Rocket ordeal. Team Rocket is good at hiding. I always have trouble finding those cowards.

My mind wandered elsewhere after I finished eating.

The money Jasmine had given me would not be enough to take care of all four of us. That thought worried me. I was not going to abandon Drew, Paul or Silver, no matter how boring and annoying they can be. Everyone should help each other out at times like this, especially when the region is slowly dying. Maybe there could be another way for all of us to be able to travel together without having to worry about money and food.

"I'm going to bed, even though it isn't that late." Silver said breaking the silence. I nodded, waving him off with a sigh.

There has to be a way to fix this dilemma..

Dawn's Pov (Pokémon Center)

Currently, there was a huge problem with sleeping arrangements.

I had only ordered rooms for three, in case the twins wanted separate rooms. After inviting Ash, Misty and Gary to join us, I noticed this problem. Where would they sleep? We had already eaten dinner, and all of us were tired from the long day we all had. Now, however, we were all trying to solve this problem.

"Okay," I began, "There are five girls here, and three boys. So, who wants to room with who?" There was silence, before everyone exploded into chatter. I sighed, clapping my hands to silence them. "One at a time!"

Yellow went first, "I-I'd rather room with the twins.." She replied. "I can stay with Ash!" Misty said with a smile. "I'll stay with you Dawn." May immediately said. I sighed. This wasn't going how I hoped it'd go. "Okay, there are only three rooms, and there are eight of us. I know one of the rooms has three beds though, so..?" May sighed, "Okay, this is how it'll go. Me, Dawn, Leaf and Yellow will share a room. Ash and Misty have a room, and lastly, Gary and Red have a room. Got it?" The twins immediately spoke up.

"I'd rather stay with Yellow though Plus, we don't like being separated!" The twins said at once.

I sweat dropped once more, "Okay okay. This is becoming out of hand." I tried thinking of ways to please everyone. May, however, had other ideas. "I don't care about what you want." She sneered. Red glared angrily, while Leaf frowned. Yellow sighed, "How about.." She opened the doors to the rooms, studying each of them. She turned back around with a hopeful smile, "I'll share a room with the twins. Ash and Gary can share a room, and May, Dawn and Misty share a room!"

Gary frowned, "Then one of the twins will have to sleep on the floor." He commented. Leaf and Red looked at each other, "No. I won't let Red/Leaf sleep on the floor." They both said. "Okay then. May, any suggestions?" I don't think that was the right thing to say.

"Gary and Ash, room together." May said with a smirk. Both boys shrugged, "Misty, you'll room with me and Dawn. Yellow, you'll room alone." Leaf and Red stared in shock, and I couldn't help but copy them. "What about us?!" Red and Leaf cried. Yellow opened her mouth to object when May turned and glared. "It'd be wrong for twins to share a bed, and you don't want to sleep on the floor, right? So, sleep somewhere else." May spat.

I stared in shock at my friend. Why was she so cruel to the twins..?

Leaf bit her lip, while Red curled his fists. "Y-You know w-what? I-I'll be fine sleeping o-on the f-floor.." Yellow whispered. May ignored her, continuing on. "Besides, this is a good idea! You stole from them," She pointed at Ash, Gary and Misty, "So we can't trust you two! Therefore, sleep somewhere else!" May said. I tried to object, but no words would form. That was just..

"Fine." Red spat, earning shocked looks from everybody. Leaf's bangs hid her face as Red turned to leave. "We'll sleep somewhere else then." The twins turned to leave, but I quickly grabbed both of their hands. "No! Look, ignore what May said, okay? I-I'm sure there is another solution for all of this!" Red pulled his arm out of my grasp, glaring angrily at us.

"Like your friend said," He sneered, "You obviously can't trust us! We'll just sleep in the lobby." Red turned back around, Leaf following him. I quickly chased after them, "O-Okay look, I-I'm sure you two can stay in the lobby!" I smiled weakly, hoping they would be able to. Nurse Joy looked up as I nearly crashed into the counter, "N-Nurse Joy, is it possible to stay in the lobby for the night?" I asked shakily.

"I'm sorry, but the lobby is off-limits during the night-time. No one is allowed to stay in the lobby anyways. That is part of Rocket's rules." Since when?! I nodded slowly, turning to look at the twins. My eyes softened as I watched them leave the Pokémon Center. "R-Red! Leaf!" They turned once more, red eyes staring back at me. "Y-You two can share a room with Yellow!" I tried once more. Red shook his head, the twins leaving the Pokecenter without another word.

I stared at the doors, Nurse Joy coughing to get my attention.

"Is everything okay..?" She asked worriedly. I nodded, turning around to head back up the stairs. May and them were still in the hall when I returned. Yellow looked hopeful, but her eyes watered slightly when she noticed my downcast look, "They can't stay in the lobby, apparently that is one of the rules Rocket made." It was quiet for a bit, before Ash spoke up, "Going to bed, Goodnight." He entered the room, and we all slowly went to our rooms, except for Gary.

I closed the door behind me, and immediately glared at May.

"Why?" I snarled. She stared in shock, before a confused look overcame her features, "Why what?" She mumbled. Misty stayed quiet. "Why did you shun the twins like that?! Making them feel unwelcome and making them sleep outside!" May rolled her eyes. "I told you we couldn't trust them Dawn. I'm just trying to make sure we'll be safe. Red is corrupted, and so is Leaf."

My eye twitched, and for the first time, I felt angry and disappointed with May. "They wouldn't hurt us at all, May. Everyone deserves a second chance, you of all people should know that." I growled. May sighed, about to speak up when Misty interrupted her.

"Sure, they stole from me, but even they didn't deserve that.."

After that, May was quiet, going to bed without another word.
