Summary: It just so happened that since Red and Green have known each other for a long time now, the former gained the tendency to consult the latter before making a decision.


"So whaddya think, Green? Should I go?"

"......... I dunno, Red........"

"But it says; I have heard of your rather amazing prowess in Pokemon battling, particularly demonstrated in your winning of the Pokemon League. I would like to have a Pokemon battle with you to test your abilities. Meet me at xxx......... Bruno. He seems to be a worthy opponent, Green! I've gotta battle him!" said Red to Green over the PC as he finished reading the contents of the Challenge letter mailed to him one day.

"Hmph, how can you even tell?" Green smirked.

"Well...." Red mused, thinking hard. "In this letter he says these sort of things with confidence, unlike the ones I always get from wannabe trainers!" he shouted, flailing his arms wildly.

"Wannabe, huh? Like you're one to talk." Green pointed out, causing the spiky-haired male to glare at him.

"Well, that was before. I'm bigger and better now!" Red declared proudly, flexing his arms in a muscular manner.

"Not to mention more big-headed than before." Green added.

Red glared harder at the brown-haired boy. "All right, this is getting nowhere. So what do you think?" he asked once more, shoving the letter in front of the monitor.

"Look, Red, I have no idea why you're asking me for an opinion of this matter. Usually this kind of problem can be easily resolved by saying Yes or No." Green explained with the patient air of teaching 1 + 1 = 2 to an over-emotional three-year old.

"..........So you're saying I should just simply say Yes or No?" Red finished.

"No, you blockhead, I'm saying it's up to you to figure it out for yourself if you're going or not." Green replied, irritated. "Though this might all be a trap where if you say Yes they'll just get your badges, and upon learning you don't have all eight they'll just encase you in ice, and leave you for dead while they plot to wipe out the entire human race......"

"...."

".......Hey, Red?"

"What?"

".......You're going to accept the challenge, aren't you?"

"Hahaha!" Red laughed as he walked over to retrieve his Pokeballs from the table. "How can you tell?"

"Well," Green smirked. "I've known you long enough."

"See?" replied Red as he straightened his cap. "This is what I like about consulting you."


P.S. This fic does NOT imply yaoi/shounen-ai. It's just simply a friendship between male characters (Red and Green are best friends). On second thought, there might be some....... naw, there isn't.

P.P.S. The contents of the Challenge Letter mentioned above is entirely made up. I only did so because the contents of Bruno's letter in the manga wasn't shown, or if it did, I wouln't bother knowing, considering that I never liked the Yellow Arc.

Did anyone notice Green's prediction on what would happen if Red accepted the challenge? It's really accurate, isn't it? Oh yeah, Red might be a little OOC in here, since he still has his arrogant trait in this chapter, although he lost it already in the manga. Anyway, thanks for reading Chapter 11, and review for it! Also look out for the next chapter!
