Chapter 9.5 — Known All Around The World

Three & a Half Years Ago...

The sun was setting, and the whole sky was orange-pink. A brunette stood on the deck alone, gazing at it and admiring its beauty.

"Man, it's so cold! How is it so chilly out on sea?" Blue complained to herself, rubbing her hands together. She looked down at the sea, leaning over the edge to check if there was any water Pokémon still surviving the winter.

"Stop whining. This is the least trouble we ever had." A ginger appeared behind her, leaning over to the edge next to her.

"Green!" Blue cried, a bit surprised. "What are you doing here? I thought you went to go take a nap."

"I can't. Ruby and Sapphire are in there, arguing again," he replied.

"Wouldn't you yell at them to get out then?" Blue asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I was gonna, but then Yellow yelled at them to get out because she was helping the newbie. Under certain circumstances, she kicked me out too," Green grumbled.

Blue snickered. "Haha. When it's about healing, Yellow is scary sometimes," she commented. "I even saw her make Silver flinch before. Soul was practically making fun of it." She laughed at the memory.

Green shrugged his shoulders. "I guess," he said. "So why aren't you inside if it's so cold? Everyone is."

"It's too crowded when everyone's in the kitchen. Especially after we won that battle. They celebrate with alcohol, and that makes them even more insane than before. I don't feel like dealing with that, and plus, I feel claustrophobic when everyone's in there," Blue stated. "Why aren't you in there?"

"It's too loud, and Red was drooling on my shoulder when I walked in," Green replied. Blue giggled at his answer.

"He really can't handle alcohol," Blue commented. Green nodded, agreeing. They stared at the sea in silence until Blue broke it again, deciding that it was awkward. "Hey Green, how long do you think this moment will last?"

"That's for you to decide," he simply replied, making Blue have a big grin on her face.

"Woo hoo! We infiltrated Team Rocket's base ship, and got unlimited supplies of food! Also, congrats to Emerald joining too!" Red cheered for the millionth time, pumping his fist in the air with a faint red going across his face. Around him, the members cheered, bumping cups with each other and following their captain's action.

"Guys, you're going overboard with the alcohol..." Crystal mumbled, sitting at the back of the room away from the crazy drunk people.

"Crys, you're not gonna drink?" Ruby asked, sitting next to her with his knitting set out.

"No, I'm still under twenty-one, so I'm not going to drink. So is everyone else too, but they irresponsibly drink anyways." She sighed. "Why aren't you drinking, Ruby?"

"Because I'm too busy upgrading everyone's wardrobe," he replied. Seeing that Crystal arched an eyebrow at him, he continued, "Blue asked me if I could design new matching pirate clothes for everyone, and I agreed when she said that she'll give me the material. Apparently, she stole them from a designer company."

Crystal sweat dropped, hearing the stolen part. "I thought this was supposed to be a group of vigilantes," she mumbled. 'The Keyblade Pirates' was actually a name they earned because people mistaken they were pirates since they travel on sea most of the time, and they went against the government before. It was originally a group of vigilantes though, or so Red claimed.

"It is." Red came over to them, and swayed side to side, wobbling. "H-Hey! Ruby, take a drink!" He plopped on the chair, then swung an arm over Ruby's shoulders, laughing in the boy's face.

Ruby grimaced at the smell of alcohol coming from the captain. "Red, I'm good," he said, slowly throwing Red's arm off. Red just kept laughing, then stood up and went to the other side of the room, where the other drunk crewmates wore.

Crystal raised an eyebrow, confused of Red's actions, but remembered that he was drunk and decided to let it go. Her, Yellow, the new crew member; Emerald (Crystal wouldn't let him drink because he's too small), Ruby, Blue and Green were probably the only people who weren't drunk yet. She was a bit surprised that Blue wasn't drunk, but it wasn't her business, so she let it passed by.

"I'm surprised that Silver's drunk..." she muttered, noticing the redhead on the floor, passed out.

"Earlier, Soul started drinking and got drunk. While she was drunk, she shoved a bottle down his throat," Ruby replied. "It was actually kind of funny that he passed out by one sip."

"I guess," she mumbled.

The door burst opened from the outside, surprising the drunk people, and the blonde at the doorway quickly ran into the room. "Uh.. sorry to ruin your party, but is Crys here?" she asked, looking around.

Crystal rose up from her seat, and walked over to the girl. "What's up, Yellow?" she greeted.

"Crys, I need you to help me with something, can you please come wit—" The girl froze and tensed her shoulders when she felt an arm thrown around her shoulders. The two looked up to see Red, laughing like a maniac, his face still red.

"Hahahaha! Yell! You've got to join us!" Red shouted, swaying over her.

A blush crept up Yellow's face as she resisted the urge to turn red. "U-Um... Red..." she muttered. "C-Can you p-please get your arm... off of me, p-please?" She added another please, stuttering the whole sentence. In the inside, she wanted him to stay there, but right now, she was in a hurry.

Instead, Red wrapped two arms around her head, having the opposite effect. "Aw... but we're having so much fun!" He started to laugh and hiccup afterwards.

Crystal sweatdropped, watching the two. She didn't know if this was considered harassment and whether she should stop it or not.

"Err... Yellow, you needed me, remember?" she said, trying to get this scene over. It might've been really romantic and sweet (even though he's drunk), but it was getting quite awkward, and the doctor seemed like she need her urgently.

"Ah! Oh yeah," Yellow remembered. "U-Uh sorry Red, but I have t-to go..." She slowly tried to rip his arms off of herself, but Red kept gripping onto her.

"Ahahaha! Your head is like the sun! You're so warm!" Red commented, nuzzling his cheek against her hair. Crystal didn't think it was possible, but the blonde turned even more red than before, blushing madly.

"Move out of the doorway." The three froze in their tracks when a deep familiar voice appeared at the doorway. They all turned to see Green with a grinning and smirking Blue.

"Ohohoho~! I knew they would've get together, but I didn't expect for it to progress this fast," Blue commented, giggling at the captain and the blonde.

"H-Help!" Yellow cried, urgent to leave despite her inner thoughts about enjoying the moment.

Green walked into the room, then got ripped Red's grip. Getting his arm thrown, the raven haired boy lost his balance then fell onto the floor, earning sweatdrops from Yellow, Crystal, and Blue.

"Ah! Captain! Are you okay?!" Sapphire arrived at the scene, gasping in shock at the body on the floor. Meanwhile, Red was laughing so much that he couldn't get up.

"If he dies by that, then he was never a strong person in the first place," Green stated, ignoring the fact that it was his fault in the first place.

"Greenie~! You totally ruined the moment, and you even threw the captain on the floor! This... is just so disgraceful," Blue commented, facepalmed.

"He was in the way, and he's crazy when he's drunk," Green reminded. Afterwards, Yellow rushed out the door before Red could get up again, with Crystal following her.

"Aw boo~! Too bad the moment was ruined," Blue mumbled, sulking a bit.

"Your shipping sense is unhealthy," Green stated, walking away from her to go get a drink. Unknown to him, Blue secretly meant the scene together outside earlier instead of the crazy drunk Red and Yellow scene, but she let it go. It was better that way.

Blue cringed when she heard a shout, "Red! Stop dying! Stop dying!" It was drunk Sapphire with Red in her arms, crying.

"Wild girl! If ya want to save the captain, you have ta step on him like this!" Drunk Gold walked over to them, and stepped on Red's leg, then burst into random laughter.

"Red~! Don't die!" Sapphire pleaded, shaking him frantically.

Blue giggled. She couldn't help but love her drunk crewmates.

"So Yellow, why did you need me?" she asked immediately.

"I just wanted to know our next location. Since you're the person who's navigating the ship, I wanted to ask you personally," Yellow replied.

"Oh. Where we're heading is the Sinnoh region. Red decided it the other day when Gold coaxed him that there were going to be gourmet cakes and such," Crystal replied. "That idiot... making the ship travel hours for a piece of cake..."

The blonde responded by laughing nervously. Remembering something, Crystal immediately apologized. "Ah! Sorry, Yellow! I know it's kind of awkward to bad mouth your cousin in front of you..." She shamefully rubbed the back of her head, trying to let the situation pass by.

Yellow shook her head. "I'm fine, I'm not offended. Gold's too proud and arrogant to care anyways," she commented, waving it off.

"Wait, so why'd you asked?" Crystal asked. "Was this the important thing...?"

She laughed lightly. "Yeah. It might not seem important, but I just wanted to know because I wanted to get something from the next island."

Crystal blinked. "And what's that?" she asked.

"His medicine."

"My head hurts... what the heck happened last night?" Red asked, rubbing his aching head and pushing the two juniors off of him.

He had just woken up on the kitchen floor, under a drooling Sapphire and Gold. The last thing he remembered before they celebrated was him congratulating Emerald and Wally, a meeting, and something with Yellow. But for some reason, he couldn't remember what he said to her or why he spoke to her. The memories of yesterday was still fuzzy.

CRASH! Just when he said that, a loud crash went throughout the kitchen behind the island table. Suddenly Red stood up, wondering what it was. He was going to check it out until familiar yellow hair poked out behind it, which basically solved the mystery.

"... Yellow?" he called.

"Oh, Yell's here?" Gold mumbled, just waking up at the moment. He rubbed his eyes drowsily, and stood up to walk where Red and Yellow was. Sapphire, on the other hand, was still asleep, surprisingly.

"G-Good morning," Yellow nervously greeted, peeking out from behind the table to get a look at the two raven haired boys. Actually, just Gold. She was too embarrassed of last night to look at Red, even though it happens all the time when he's drunk.

"Sorry for waking you up..."

"Huh? No, it's fine! I woke up before you crashed something. Speaking of which, what was that loud sound?" Red asked.

"Soul wanted to switch places with me, so now she's doing lookout duty while I do kitchen cooking," Yellow replied, smiling sheepishly. "And I accidently dropped the pot."

Gold arched an eyebrow at her. "Wait. Wasn't it Crys's turn for lookout duty today?" he asked.

Yellow nodded. "It is, but it seemed that she overslept, so I filled in for her, then Soul wanted to switch, and here I am."

"Oh, I'll go wake her up then!" And with that, Gold rushed out the door, leaving the bashful Yellow and forgetful Red.

Gold entered the room, only to find Crystal sleeping in a hammock and Emerald working on one of his inventions again at the desk. Quietly tip toeing, he continued with his objective, but when he got closer, the blond haired boy stood in his way.

"Gold. She had a long day yesterday, don't wake her up," he informed.

"But this is a really rare occasion for me! She always wake me up with a bucket and water, and I tried doing a prank on her when she's sleeping, but I never could because she always wake up earlier than everyone else... Well everyone besides Green," Gold said.

"I'm not going to let you pull a prank on Crystal," Emerald said.

Gold laughed quietly, so he wouldn't wake her up. "And you're going to stop me?" he inquired.

Emerald smiled wickedly. "I have a new invention that even Red couldn't beat."

"Lookout duty is so boring!" Soul complained, sighing exasperatedly afterwards.

"Then why'd you switch with Yellow?" Silver inquired.

The two were outside on the deck together with binoculars in front of their eyes because they were on lookout. Green and Blue were talking quietly at the other side of the deck, while Soul and Silver stood at another side.

"Because! As Crystal's sister, I should take responsibility for her actions. Plus, I don't like cooking duty! The other day, I heard Emerald badmouthing my cooking!" Soul said.

"That's because it was still alive," Silver stated.

"Hey, it's bad to be picky," Soul said. "A sign of it being alive is just a sign that it's... full of life."

"I don't think that's a good thing," he contradicted.

"Thanks for the support," she muttered sarcastically.

"Ah!" She spotted something moving. Adjusting the binoculars, she zoomed up on the thing. It was a carrier wingull, a Pokémon who is used to deliver messages and news. "A carrier wingull is coming our way!" Silver turned to see the wingull too.

The wingull hovered over the ship, then dropped a package, which hit Soul on the head. Afterwards, it continued on with its day and left.

"Owwie~! Stupid bird!" Soul shouted at the sky, dropping her binoculars to rub her head.

Silver realized it wasn't going to be a big problem, so he ignored her and picked up the papers the wingull dropped. Seeing the material it was contained in, he could tell that it was the new wanted posters.

"Hey. There's a set of new wanted posters," he told.

"You know what Silvy, I really love how you're so considerate and you care about me so much," Soul said sarcastically and irritably, upset that she got hit. "Hurry up and open them. I want to see if any of the prices raised."

Doing as command, Silver opened it. Immediately seeing the pages, he widened his silver eyes. Soul on the other hand, squealed and screamed at the same time, both happy but terrified. Everyone, but Silver (who was covering his ears) came running out to the deck, thinking there was an enemy attack or something happened. Green and Blue stopped talking, and rushed over to them as well.

"What happened?" Emerald asked.

Soul's eyes started to sparkle, as she held up the beige posters facing towards her. "We're famous!" she shouted.

Red raised an eyebrow. "What?!"

She placed the papers on the floor, then spread them out so they could see each one. Immediately, everyone (besides Silver and Soul who already saw it) widened their eyes. There sat in front of them, was wanted posters with their faces on the cover.

"EH?!" They chorused together.

Gold immediately snatched his, and shoved his face in it, examining it. "Golden-eyed Hunter, eh? That's a cool name which matched the awesome picture of me," he gloated, grinning. He leaned over to Crystal to see hers. He didn't notice her hands shaking, and stared at her picture.

"Aw, that's lame, Super Serious Gal! You and your sis have the same title," he said, reading the title "1/2 of the Bonecrushing Twins".

Crystal snapped her head to him with her eyes filled with rage and worry. "What are you talking about?! That's what you're worried about? Now people are going to come out and kill us!"

"You need to chill and look on the bright side!" Gold said.

"You didn't even look on the bright side," Crystal retorted, groaning afterwards; remembering something. "My mom is going to die from hearing this."

Red scratched his cheek, and stared at the wanted poster of him. "Well... I don't know if this is good, or bad..." he said in an unsure tone. They weren't even pirates...

"It's bad! What happened to the helping people out thing?!" Crystal shouted.

"I told you to chill Super Serious Gal!" Gold said, slinging an arm around her shoulders.

Crystal immediately threw it off. "Don't think I'm not mad about what you did earlier! I will hurt you!" she shouted, remembering what happened in the room. Her cheeks started to heat up, remembering it.

Gold picked his ear with his pinky. "Wah! Stop yelling at me!" he whined, Emerald glaring at him from the sidelines.

She sighed. "We aren't even supposed to be pirates! How do we get wanted?!"

"Maybe it's because of the Hoenn incident when Rald joined," Blue suggested. "Well anyways, I like my picture. Doesn't it look cute?" She flashed the picture to everyone.

"It's nice," Yellow muttered, sweatdropping a bit at her reaction.

"You guys are insane..." Crystal mumbled, sulking.

"Well, it's done already, so we shouldn't be upset about it," Red optimistically said, laughing nervously.

"Hey Ruby! What does this say?!" Sapphire asked, shoving the paper in his face, who in return got hit in the eye.

"Guys..." Red sulked, a bit upset that nobody was listening to him.

"It's fine, Captain. Everyone is just caught up in the moment," Yellow cheered up. "It's nice to see everyone gathered here talking anyways."

"Yeah..." Red said, starting to smile again. He watched everyone: Crystal was sulking, Gold was messing with her, Emerald was about to bite him, Soul was cheering bubbly, Silver was complaining a bit about his price, Blue was showing it off at Green, Green was annoyed and focused on his price, Ruby was trying to read it to Sapphire with his good eye, and Sapphire was listening anxiously. It was a good mood.

It was also then when he noticed something missing.

"Hey, newbie's isn't in here, right?" Red asked Yellow.

The blonde nodded. "It's a good thing too. If he was wanted, his parents would come over here, and murder you," she stated bluntly. "Speaking of which, how did I get wanted? I don't even fight..."

Red laughed. "Well, you're apart of this crew, and that's all that matters, isn't it?"

Yellow smiled back at him, and watched the crew as well. "I wonder how long this'll last..." she muttered to herself.

Red raised an eyebrow. "What'd you say?" he asked.

"U-Uh, nothing," she replied, giving him a nervous smile.

"Oh," he said, shrugging off. "Oh yeah, Yellow, did something happen last night when I was drunk? I don't remember."

"NOTHING HAPPENED!" Yellow quickly shouted, surprising him.
