Good News, I finally ended the possibly final draft of TPP 2 Crystal, so when this ends there will be a sequel (direct, not nominal)


It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end. Hemingway

Chapter 11: A story of plans and failures.

Red arrived to Viridian City, the city hadn't changed anything since the last time he visited it, it was still a very quiet city, Red remembered went to the city with Blue and Oak when he was a child, he remembered see the gym and saying to himself that someday he will get the Ground badge, but it doesn't care how much he tried, he couldn't remember the face of the gym leader, it was a strange man without a doubt, he used to talk with Oak during his visits to the city, sometimes they argue, sometimes they had a friendly talk, but now, Red didn't worry about that, he was going to be defeated, just lke the others.

Red got close to the gym, and he realised something that he didn't remember it was there: a ledge.

"This man is clever, using obstacles before I could even reach the entry."

Red tried to cross the ledge one time and another and another, Red was patient, he will enter eventually.

At last after hours he entered the gym, what he saw impressed him, movement tiles like in the Team Rocket Headquarters formed the puzzle of the gym, the Leader really knew how to make The Mob angry, Red fought all the trainers, completed the puzzle and reached the Gym Leader, he wasn't surprised when he saw that the man behind was Giovanni.

"Finally." said Govanni . "I was beginning to think that I created a trap that The Mob couldn't overcome."

"Do you knew it?" asked Red, he thought that this was a secret in Kanto.

"For a long time boy, I wanted to stop it, more than Kabuto, more that Oak, but even me couldn't do it, if tI make a impossible puzzle, they create democracy if I use their tactics against them, they make them useless for me."

"I obsessed with defeat them to the point that when I wanted to realise what was going on it was too late, this is my last chance Red, if I lost here, then only you will can decide the ending."

They began to combat, Giovanni chose his Rhyhorn and Red chose Omanyte.

With his Omanyte and his water attacks the firsts Giovanni's Pokemons fell without problems.

"I must be lucky, I'm seeing the power of a God with my own eyes, but he isn't in his final form yet."

They continue fightning, Omanyte was defeated by a Rhydon, as all Red's Pokemons, except one, Pidgeot, his first captured Pokemon, the Messiah according to the Mob, Red remembered the beginning of the adventure with him, Jay, Abby, Drowzee, Dig, Dux, xcabagge and *sigh* Eevee, Red knew by Blue what Eevee had done, maybe The Mob hated him, but for Red even as a loyal memeber of the Dome, it was a great companion, if only he could see them again.

Red decided to use one of his best tactics, using sand attack after sand attack, blinding Rhydon completely, finally he knocked him out with quick attacks. Giovanni couldn't believe it. he lost to Red, now there was nothing he could do, when he was going to give him the badge, they saw how Omanyte thanks to the combat finally evolved to his final form, Omastar, the Lord Helix was fully reborn, now Red was sure that the Elite Four won't defeat him.

Red left the gym, Indigo Plateau was near, so he will get there easily, but before he prepared his team.

Omastar, Pidgeot, Zapdos, Venomoth, Nidoking and Lapras, t¡the Lord and The five Helix Warriors, it was his team, a perfect Team.

Red left his Gastly in Daycare, he maybe never will recover it, so he left it in a good place as a new home, also he left Drowzee "The Keeper" and one of the two members of the original team that were still with him and the survivors of Bloody Sunday in the PC, he will take them later.

The guards of the League saw one by one his eight badges, proofs of his tenacity and talent, the allowed him to face the last obstacle: Victory Road.

Red entered Victory Road, defeated enemies, trainers, solve puzzles crossed ledges until in the end he saw the exit, he saw in the building where Indigo League was celebrated.

He didn't care about The Mob, Helix, Dome, Anarchy or Democracy, now it was him, Red not The Mob who arrived here, who lived this adventure, it was his story, maybe it hasn't a happy ending, but it was a good journey, a good adventure, the rest, it simply didn't care.

Red entered, the Elite Four was waiting for him

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
