I'm back! Time for Chapter 11 now!

Third Person's POV

Sapphire stared at the portal. 'My challenge is a black hole?'

Kuro laughed. 'No, silly! Roxanne is through the portal, along with all the other Hoenn leaders.'

'But why?'

'Because,' Clair piped up, 'Many Gym Leaders and Pokémon were teleported to a different universe. Kuro here managed to open up a portal back to the Pokémon world.'

'Are you a Gym Leader too?' Sapphire asked. 'I don't recognise you.'

Clair tossed her hair. 'Yes, I'm a Gym Leader! Morty is, as well.' She jerked a finger to Morty's direction. 'But we're from the Johto region.'

'Cool, Johto! I have a friend–I mean rival from Johto! He moved here a few days ago.'

'Interesting.' Kuro looked around. 'Is he here with you? For the gym badge, I mean.'

'Nope!' Sapphire shook her head. 'He's a coordinator, not a trainer.'

'Oh. Well, we do want to get to Roxanne, don't we?'

'Yup!'

'Then let's go!'

-][-

'Where is Roxanne?' Sapphire inquired immediately.

'Not here.' Kuro pulled out a Pokéball. 'Alakzam! Teleport us to Roxanne!'

The world went black for several seconds, before light flooded into Kuro's eyes.

About ten metres away stood Roxanne, leader of Rustboro, talking to Brawly, the Gym Leader of Dewford Town.

'Roxanne!' Sapphire called out excitedly. 'I challenge you to a gym battle!'

'Hm?' Roxanne turned. 'Who are you?'

'I'm Sapphire Birch–'

'Birch? The professor's daughter?'

Sapphire nodded. 'Yup! Now let's have that gym battle for my first badge!'

'Hmph.' Roxanne folded her arms. 'I'm talking to Brawly.'

'Aw, c'mon!' Brawly, spoke up. 'Let the poor girl battle you. It's your job, after all.'

'Fine,' Roxanne grumbled. 'But I won't go easy on you!'

-][-

'Go, Nosepass!'

'Chic, let's go!'

'You may start first.' Roxanne smirked.

'Alright! Chic, use Peck attack!'

'Nosepass, stand your ground!'

Sapphire's Torchic dashed forward, its beak glowing white, and pecked hard on the top of Nosepass's head, however doing no damage at all.

'Hah, Flying type moves are ineffective against rock types!' Roxanne said smugly. 'And unfortunately for you, so are fire types.'

Amanda's POV

Halfway through Sapphire and Roxanne's battle, I could no longer bear to watch it, and led Morty and Clair away with me.

We walked around the neighbourhood, chatting about general stuff and whatnot. By the time we arrived back at the place Sapphire had her battle, we found her sitting on the ground, exhausted. In her hand was a Stone Badge.

'You did it!' I walked over, congratulating the trainer, patting her on the back. 'Good job!'

Sapphire looked up at me wearily; she looked tired. 'Thanks. It was a tough battle. But I had my Rono.'

'…Rono?'

'My Aron.'

'Oh, cool. Where's Roxanne? And Brawly?'

The brunette sighed. 'Roxanne ran off, and Brawly followed after.'

'Oh, well then…'

'I need to get back to my world!' Sapphire suddenly sat up.

'But the other leaders from Hoenn are here,' Clair pointed out. 'So there's no point going back.'

'That's true…' Sapphire stated, deep in thought. 'But what about Ruby?'

'Who's Ruby?' I asked.

'Uh…' I could swear I saw Sapphire blush, but it faded quickly. 'He's the rival I was talking about earlier. The one from Johto.'

'So he's your friend?'

'Um, I guess…'

'I'll go get him!' I turned to look at Clair and Morty. 'Stay here and wait. Take care of her!'

'Kuro, wait–'

'Absol, make a portal!'

-][-

'Return, Absol. Thanks.'

I recalled my Pokémon to its ball, and took in my surroundings.

'We're in Verdanturf town!' I thought aloud. 'There's a contest hall here…Ruby is here!'

Spotting the building known as the place where contests were held, I sprinted toward it. Looking inside, I realised I had no idea how Ruby looked like. I decided I would risk it.

I took a step into the Verdanturf Contest Hall, and yelled, 'RUBY!'

Third Person's POV

'Finally,' Ruby sighed. He reached Verdanturf Town not too long ago, and had immediately ran toward the contest hall. Two steps into it, and he heard someone shout.

'RUBY!'

With a jolt, Ruby turned around. It appeared that he was the only one who heard the yell, considering the noisy hall. There was a girl about four years his senior standing at the door, looking straight at him. The girl smiled.

'I take it that you're Ruby. Now, follow me!'

She walked out, and Ruby had no choice but to follow.

'Hey, hey! Wait up! Who are you? What do you want with me?' he called out.

The girl stopped, turning around. She grinned. 'Sorry. My name is Kuro. And I'm here for you!'

'But, why me? I need to get my first few ribbons! Maybe…maybe that Sapphire girl already got her first badge!'

'She has. Now go get your ribbons, then come back to me!'

-][-

'Yes! I won all of them!'

Kuro glanced at the contest hall impatiently. Ruby emerged, a victorious smile on his face.

'Let's go! Wait…Where are we going, anyway?' he asked.

'Follow me.'

Ruby obliged, walking behind the trainer.

'Here.'

The young coordinator looked around. 'There's nothing here,' he said, frowning.

'No, there isn't,' Kuro agreed. 'Go, Absol!'

'Why an Absol? Is there a disas–'

'Make your portal!'

'…Portal?'

In front of Kuro and Ruby, a large, gaping hole appeared.

'What…is that?!'

'Sapphire is behind the portal. Let's go!'

Kuro hopped in, and Ruby followed suit.

-][-

'Where is this place?' Ruby looked around once he had stepped out of the portal. 'Is it another region?'

Kuro shook her head, smiling. 'Nope! It's actually another world, actually. The portal brought us here.'

The coordinator looked appalled. 'Why did you bring me here?! Are you kidnapping me?'

'Of course not!' Kuro laughed. 'I'd thought I'd bring you to Sapphire, that's all.'

'O-oh.'

'Alakazam, Teleport!'

Ruby opened his mouth, but before anything came out, the world started spinning. He tried to run, but seemed stuck to where he was standing. Blackness engulfed him, and for the first time in his life he was teleported.

When Ruby opened his eyes, he saw the girl, Kuro, recalling her Alakazam. Looking over, Kuro grinned. 'How'd you like teleporting?'

'I absolutely hate it.' Was the reply.

'Don't worry, Ruby. You'll get used to it!'

Ruby gulped. Did that mean he had to teleport more?

'C'mon, I think Sapphire's nearby.' Kuro started walking away.

Hurriedly, Ruby followed the black haired trainer, which eventually led him face-to-face with a familiar brunette.

'YOU!' Both Ruby and Sapphire yelled at the same time, though they had expected to meet each other soon anyway.

Clair chuckled, whispering to Morty, 'Ah, young love…'

-][-

Morty's POV

'Ah, young love…' Clair whispered into my ear, laughing softly.

It was true. As much as the two kids, Ruby and Sapphire, tried to show hate and rivalry toward each other, it was clear that there would be a future romance not too long later. I stared at them, almost longingly.

'I got my first gym badge!' Sapphire challenged. 'Beat that!'

Ruby sneered in response. 'Ha, I got my first ribbons in Hoenn.'

'All you do is act like a girl!' the trainer spat out, laughing as she imitated Ruby in a contest, twirling around.

'At least I care for my Pokémon's appearance!' Ruby fumed, face red with anger. 'I wouldn't want them to get hurt in battle, and all dirty!'

'That's enough,' I said, walking up to them. 'Kuro didn't bring you two here to quarrel.'

'Alright then, let's go to my house,' Kuro suggested. 'Alakazam, use Teleport!'

A white flash of light indicated that Alakazam had come out from its pokeball. The world twisted, and suddenly I was in Kuro's living room.

'Where are the kids going to stay, though?' I questioned Kuro. 'We're almost out of space, I think.'

'I don't want to stay here!' was Sapphire's immediate reply.

'Neither!' yelled Ruby.

'I need to get all my gym badges before he does!' she complained, jabbing a finger toward Ruby, who hmphed in reply.

'But Sapphire,' Clair pointed out. 'You can't go back to Hoenn for your badges because the leaders aren't there! They're here, remember? It only makes sense for Ruby to go.'

'Good bye, people!' Ruby waved, and walked out of the front door.

Kuro laughed, running after the young boy. 'Ruby, you can't go back without the portal.'

'Oh, right.'

'Absol, go! Make the portal!'
