Kaith: Chapter 14 in the house! Sorry I didn't get this up earlier. During Spring Break I pretty much did nothing by play FF XIII (I had to keep my Xbox at home because of my little bro so I can only play it when I go home!). I also got a bit side-tracked by my other stories. Love IS War is like yelling at me to get written because ideas for it keep jumping into my head every three seconds. I've got like six pages of one-line ideas I can expand on plus thirteen pages of some of those ideas already written out. I just had to get something written so I wrote a one-shot for the SoulSilver couple that I've had stuck in my head for weeks just so you'd all have something to read during the Double Life drought. XD
I'm gonna admit, the last chapter was more of a filler after I finished the Green vs. Yellow battle. It was just a lot of shipping moments while pushing the plot where it needed to go. And I can say that the plot is gonna soar in this chapter.
The wolfs moon: Thank you for all your reviews and corrections! I hope you keep reading this story cus your reviews stopped at chapter 11. And don't worry, I like longer reviews. They make me smiled, laugh, and feel all giddy inside.
5th Dimension: Hm, that's a good question XD. I'll put it up as a BSN at the end of this chapter to clarify for everyone.
BreadStarz: Don't worry. With all the times I've had the topic of Yellow's parents coming up, it should have been a very big foreshadow that Red will eventually learn of it.
Berry Doyle: Yeah, SoulSilver is really cute! But they aren't really going to be a big shipping couple in this story (focusing mainly on Special and OldRival), but I'll expand on these two in the future.
Obstruction: Yay a new reviewer! And you don't have to hope for a new chapter, because I will finish this story! I'm having so much fun writing it!
Chapter 14: Region Hopping
"…and then Gyara's Ice Beam knocked that Dragonite right out of sky!" Red bragged.
Misty giggled. "I guess that Gyara I traded you a long time ago really helped you out."
Yellow's eyebrow twitched slightly in annoyance. Misty had been hanging onto Red like a leech on the back of one of those water-type Pokémon she loved so much. The couple was leading the walk, followed by a terminator-mode Yellow and the three other members of their exploration group.
After a few minutes of walking along the Nugget Bridge, Blue finally couldn't take it and risked walking up to her best friend. "Um, Yellow? Is everything okay?"
"No." Yellow replied bitterly. She chewed her lips slightly before saying, "Our powers in here let us temporarily change the surroundings, right?"
"I think so."
"Then can you do me a favor?"
Blue nodded and Yellow leaned closer to whisper her plan into Blue's ear. Blue smiled and eyed the midget. "For someone so sweet, that's quite an evil plan."
"I'm going easy on her." Yellow shrugged. "Ready?"
Blue nodded and put up her hand; Yellow did the same. The area around Red and Misty started to flicker slightly and the water started to swell and move on Misty's side of the bridge. Suddenly, the water shot up and splashed onto the bridge, soaking Misty to the bone. By some miracle Red had been saved. Just as the water receded, Misty's footing disappeared and she let out a shriek of terror as she fell into the ocean below.
"Misty, are you okay?" Red asked as he looked over the edge of the broken bridge.
Misty spit some water out of her mouth and started treading water. "Yeah, I'm fine." She responded.
Not for long. Yellow thought evilly. Just as Red reached down to help her back up to the bridge, Misty was pulled underwater. Red yelled out her name frantically but Misty resurfaced a few seconds later. Only now she was about fifty feet out at sea and in the clutches of a seaweed monster (courtesy of Blue).
"What the hell is this thing?" Misty yelled as she dangled by her foot from the monster's hand.
"Hold on, I'll get you down!" Red yelled back at her and reach for his Pokéballs.
"Wait!" Blue yelled, running over to Red and stopping him from releasing his Pokémon. "This might be another one of the hacker's tricks. We don't want you to lose your Pokémon do we?" She asked, turning to Yellow who had just come over.
Yellow shook her head in agreement. "I'll do it." She offered. Turning to face the 'monster' Yellow pulled out Chuchu's ball and materialized her fishing rod. Attaching Chuchu's ball to the rod, Yellow snapped the ball in Misty's direction. Instead of opening up, the ball first smashed into Misty's face before letting Chuchu free.
"Watch where you're aiming!" Misty yelled at Yellow, holding her nose in pain.
"I was." Yellow muttered under her breath. "Chuchu, Discharge!"
Chuchu let out a fierce cry and electricity filled the air, hitting not only the monster but Misty as well. The monster, or now again a pile of seaweed, collapsed into the water along with an evenly toasted Misty.
"Misty, I'll come and get you!" Blue offered, pulling out the Pokéball for her Turtley.
"NO!" Misty shouted back. "I'll swim back myself!"
Blue and Yellow glanced at each other and smiled. Mission, complete.
"Okay, so there are two places that I've found that are still a little glitchy." Misty spoke once the group had finally reached the end of Nugget Bridge. She had a giant map pulled up that exposed northern Cerulean. "The caves pass the water route to the west have been a mess and there's a few major bugs that have been messing up the cottage on the pier."
Green held his chin as he examined the map. "We should split up then. Three of us to the pier and three to the caves."
"Hey," Blue shoved past Green and pointed at the caves. "Aren't these the caves that Mewtwo was once captured in?"
Misty nodded. "I think Blaine found it there."
"I'm gone." Blue said quickly before heading west for the caves. Silver quickly followed in pursuit.
"Well those two seem to be heading for the caves." Misty said. She looped arms with Red. "I'll head up to the pier with Red then."
"I'll go with you." Green said, closing the map. There was no way he could stand being alone with Blue and Silver in the caves like that. Better to be out in the open rather than stuffed in a dark cramped space. He turned to follow Red and Misty, but meet with a short little blond instead.
Yellow stood between him and the pier, something looking like an evil ghost rising out of her body and glaring at him. A chill shot down Green's spine and it felt like the ghost was staring into his soul. "O-on second thought I'll go with Blue and Silver."
"So what time do you think your plane will land?" Anita said into her cell phone. She was wearing dark-red silk pajamas, leaning against the headrest of her large king-sized bed. An open book was in her lap and the bedside lap cast a soothing light over the large bedroom.
"I'm not sure." A rough, male voice replied through the phone's earpiece. "There's some pretty bad storms moving through here right now. Not sure when they're finally going to get the plane off the ground."
Anita sighed. "That's too bad. It's kinda lonely being all alone in this big house."
The voice laughed softly over the phone. "You have all those kids running around the house."
"Yeah, that's true." Anita laughed.
The voice laughed with her for a while. It was like one of those moments you just laugh for no reason in particular, you were just in that giddy sort of mood. When it finally finished a minute later, the man said, "So, how has the search been going?"
"Perfect." Anita smiled to herself. "We finally found the last of the Viridian Forest trainers, and thank's to that little bug we have on her I'm sure that Oak hid part of 'it' with her. After we figure out where that bastard Giovanni hid that last part and we can finally move on with our plan."
"Oh, I love it when you talk angrily." The voice said huskily.
Anita blushed and giggled. "Well then hurry back hunny."
"Don't worry, I will."
Before Anita could giggle again, there came a knock from the door. "Mrs. Anita, are you awake?"
"Excuse me," Anita said quietly into the phone. "I have to go now. Come in." She said, hanging up.
A woman, dressed in a purple nightgown entered. Her long black hair hung around her face like a wet towel, dripping with water. "I'm sorry, but Alexandra woke up and is demanding that you check her closest for monsters. She didn't believe me when I told her, so she threw her water at me."
Anita laughed softly as she slid out of bed. "Alex had always been a little rowdy. You can head back to your room and change. I'll take care of it."
"Thank you mistress." The woman bowed and left the room. Sliding her slippers over her feet and wrapping herself in a fuzzy lavender robe, Anita left the room and closed the door quietly behind herself.
The house was quiet then, not even the mice awake enough to scratch at the walls. But then, the personal phone in Anita's study rang three times before going to voicemail. "Hey ya old bag." Called out an annoying voice that Anita knew too well. "You know that handful of kids you told me to leave alone? Well they're getting kinda bothersome and they're getting pretty close to finding me out so I'm just gonna deal with them now, okay?"
"Come out here Mewtwo!" Blue yelled at the top of her lungs into the cavern that stood before Silver, Green, and herself. Her original intention had been to draw out Mewtwo, but she only succeeded in summoning a hoard of Zubat.
"Great job!" Green yelled sarcastically over the flapping of the hundreds of bat-wings. Silver glared at the older teen but Green ignored him as usual. A few seconds later and the annoying things had finally dispersed into the sky, looking like a blue and purple swarm of insects.
Blue pointed a challenging finger at the entrance and shouted. "Come out and face me like a man Mewtwo!"
"Mewtwo's a Pokémon, not a man." Green pointed out.
"Besides the point." Blue said, waving the teen off. "I just want to kick his butt and then catch him."
"Sorry, but that's not going to happen." A voice snickered.
Blue's eye twitched in annoyance as she whipped around to yell at Green. "And what makes you say that?"
"I didn't say anything." Green huffed, his arms crossed in annoyance. "I assumed Silver –" Green stopped, his eyes widening. "Wait, Silver wouldn't say anything against you."
Both Silver and Blue shot Green 'that look' but at the same time also tensed up, raising their guard. "Then who said that?" Silver asked quietly, reaching for one of his Pokéballs.
"You're not going to be finding out anytime soon." The voice said again. Before anyone could say anything at all, the ground shimmered beneath the teens, giving way to a black hole.
Blue was the only one screaming as the three fell into the hole, her voice only cut off once the hole had resealed itself as if the last thirty seconds had never happened.
"So why did Green decide to go with Blue and Silver?" Red asked Yellow as their little group made the trek up to the pier.
Yellow shrugged. Red just let it go and went ahead of the group. The small blond glanced back at Misty who was a few feet behind Yellow. She had just happened to walk under a very large tree that looked rather old to Yellow. So Yellow helped the aging tree along with a subtle raise of her hand, snapping the lowest branch. The branch landed with a very loud snap and Misty let out a scream of surprise.
"Are you alright?" Yellow asked, reaching Misty first.
"Y-yeah." Misty replied, looked at the branch and then back up to the tree.
"Wow that certainly is a lot of bad things that have been happening." Red said, coming back to Misty and Yellow. "First that seaweed thing, those series of pitfall traps, the group of over aggressive Pidgey, and now this."
"Yeah. What a series of unfortunate events." Yellow smiled at Misty and then turned back to the path ahead. "The pier is just over this hill right? Let's get going."
Misty glared at Yellow's back and stepped around the branch. "Hey Red," She whispered to the champion. "I think Yellow's out to get me."
Red raised an eyebrow. "Yellow? She wouldn't hurt a fly."
"I seriously doubt that." Misty mumbled as she continued to glare at Yellow.
After another minute of walking, Yellow reach the hilltop that marked the beginning of the coast. A gust of wind, powerful enough to send her flying to Johto, blasted up the hillside. Yellow shielded her eyes from the sand and her straw hat flew into the sky. It was taking all her strength to not get blown back down the hill.
"Whoa!" Red exclaimed as he reached the top of the hill. Standing next to Yellow it seemed like the older boy also had to fight to keep his feet planted firmly to the ground. His own hat had also been lost to the wind, tumbling around in the skies with Yellow's. "Hey Misty!" Red yelled back to the bottom of the hill. "Does Cerulean Bay usually look like that?"
"Look like what?" Misty asked, coming up to join Red and Yellow. "Oh my-" She gasped, raising a hand to cover her mouth. It was easy to see that the water level had risen. Countless trees were just barely showing their top branches above the water. The little shack usually sat on the water's edge was now floating about a mile out at sea, bobbing up and down in the trashing water.
"N-No, it does not usually look like this." Misty said, barely heard over the roar of the wind. "But do you see those dark clouds?" Red and Yellow turned their gazes to the sky. Large, dark clouds, rumbling and producing bolts of electricity every few seconds were quickly rolling across the sky, threatening to overtake the sun any second now. "That's a good thing."
Yellow looked at Misty like she had just said the sky was green. "How is this a good thing?" She yelled over the wind.
"Because!" Misty shouted back. Her eyes were dancing happily as she smiled at Red and Yellow. "It means Kyogre is nearby!"
"Owwww." Blue moaned as she brought her hand to her head and sat up. She looked around, but everything was cloaked in darkness so thick Blue couldn't even see her hand in front of her face. "Green? Silver?"
"I'm here." Green responded to her left.
"Why is everything spinning?" Silver moaned.
"So did you enjoy the drop?" The disembodied voice from early snickered.
"What do you want with us?" Green's voice snapped at the darkness.
"Well you're no fun, mister gym leader." The voice said. For some reason Blue was picturing a snot-nosed brat talking to them. "All I wanted was some playmates for my new Pokémon. You see, he was just hatched and has gone a little out of control. Be a pal and calm him down will yah?"
"ARG!" Silver's voice cried out in pain.
"Green, we need some light!" Blue yelled quickly.
Green already had the Pokéball in hand when Blue had yelled at him. Half a second later light flooded into the room as Charizard made his entrance. In the light cast by the Pokémon's tail, Blue saw Silver, pinned against the caves walls. He was clawing at his throat, trying to free himself from an invisible hand. However, that wasn't what was sending chills down Blue's spine right now. Standing in the center of the room, its strange three-fingered hand pointed at Silver, was a Mewtwo.
A shiny Mewtwo.
Blue's hand went straight for her ace. "Skull Bash!" She yelled as Turtley roared at the Mewtwo. The Blastoise charged forward, lowering his head and preparing to strike. The Mewtwo turned its head slightly to face the oncoming attack. Its eyes were snow.
Raising its other hand, Mewtwo waited for the attack to come. Milliseconds before Turtley made contact, a green aura sprung up around the Mewtwo's body. As the attack hit, the barrier flared up, lighting up the entire cave in an eerie green glow. Turtley was thrown backwards, flying at the speed of a bullet into the wall behind Blue. "Turtley!" Blue cried out, running to her defeated Pokémon.
"Blast Burn!" Green ordered at the top of his lungs. The flame on Charizard's tail burst to life, growing to three times its normal size. Fire poured from the lizards mouth, enveloping the shiny Mewtwo in a raging inferno.
Silver's body dropped from where he was hanging on the wall and the boy gasped for air. For a few seconds it seemed as if Charizard had succeeded in defeating Mewtwo. Charizard had finished its attack and Mewtwo's body was still on fire. However, the fireball that was Mewtwo turned from a red and orange inferno to a dark blue color and lobbed itself back at Charizard. Just being near the flame was enough to singe the hairs on the back of Blue's neck. Charizard itself was struck by the blast and Blue couldn't even imagine the pain it felt as it cried out.
Blue watched the raging legendary as it turned its snow eyes on her. This thing was seemingly unstoppable. With hardly any effort at all, the thing had taken out Charizard and Turtley with one hit. Mewtwo raised a hand and Blue felt her throat start to tighten. Her body flew into the air and was thrown against the wall just like Silver's must have been. It felt as if there were iron shackles all over her body, keeping her limbs pressed against the cold stone wall.
"Blue!" Both Silver and Green had yelled at the same time. Both boys reached for a Pokémon, but thanks to their outburst the Mewtwo was ready to take care of them. Its other hand went up and a green aura surround Green and Silver. Seconds later they were both forced to the ground as if a two-ton weight had just been dropped on their shoulders.
The grip seemed to loosen around Blue's throat as Mewtwo turned its attention to Green and Silver. The hold on her right arm released just enough so she could move it towards her bag. Her fingertips brushed the top of one of the Pokéballs sitting at the bottom of the bag. It seemed to dance away from her grasp, slipping out of her butterfingers every time she had just managed to get ahold of it. There was only one Pokémon in her party that had a chance at getting the three of them out of this mess. Even if that chance was only one in five hundred and fifty-nine.
Mewtwo's aura glowed brighter and Green and Silver cried out again. That bit of concentration shift gave Blue just enough wiggle room. Finally her hand managed to get ahold of a Pokéball. She managed to pull the ball out of the bag and drop it to the floor. In a flash of red light, Blue's chosen Pokémon made itself know.
"Clefairy!" The small pink blob known as Cleffo shouted excitedly.
Mewtwo's head snapped to stare at small Pokémon; the three trainers all gave a sigh of relief as the pain on their bodies lessened slightly, Mewtwo's concentration now focused elsewhere. Cleffo gave an 'eep' of terror as Mewtwo stared down the tiny pink blob.
"D-Do…s-something." Blue gasped.
Green balls of fire appeared around Mewtwo and started to lob themselves at Cleffo. The small Pokémon began running around the room, trying to dodge them. It was screaming something in Pokémon, probably 'What the hell do you want me to do against that!'
Cleffo tripped over a small rock, a ball of green fire just barely missing the pink blob. Cleffo rolled over and Mewtwo's eyes stared the Pokémon down, scaring the thing half to death. Cleffo's hands began to wave franticly and the tips of its fingers began to glow. Mewtwo created another glob of fire, bigger than the rest. The green fire flew at Cleffo, who waved its arms even faster.
The fire hit Cleffo, who was now completely white. The fire dispersed and Cleffo was gone. Blue swore mentally. Stupid fairy. How dare he leave his master behind.
Mewtwo turned its attention back to Blue now. Another glob of fire formed next to Mewtwo. Blue could swear the thing was smiling at her. However, just as Blue was in the middle of formulating her next plan, Green, Silver, the two Pokémon, and Blue all became surrounded in a white light and disappeared.
The shiny Mewtwo just stood there in the center of the cave, unsure of what to do next. The fire slowly faded from existence, casting the cave into darkness once again.
Thunder rumbled loudly overhead as Red and Yellow followed Misty. The red-headed tomboy was practically sprinting through the rain soaked grass. Within a minute Misty was standing at the edge of what land hadn't already been submerged in water. "Come on out you beautiful sea creature!" Misty yelled at the sky.
Yellow rolled her eyes as she and Red stopped beneath a tree where the grass wasn't as badly soaked. "Is she always this crazy?" The blond asked.
Red's only response to her question was a quiet laugh. He looked up at the darkened sky for a moment, his red eyes scanning the clouds. "Hey Misty," Red said in-between her shouts of trying to provoke Kyogre. "I don't think it's here anymore."
Misty quickly turned to look at Red, her face a disappointed pout. "What makes you say that?"
"The clouds." Red pointed to the now whiter clouds. "They've been getting white and thinning out ever since we got here. There hasn't been any rain and the lighting is also letting up." Red gestured at sea. "Plus the waterline is staring to recede."
Misty looked at the waterline and also noticed that the shack was starting to float back towards land as well. Her shoulders drooped and Misty sighed. "I knew it would be too good to be true."
Red walked over to the girl and put his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay. With you being the master of the water-type, I'm sure you'll eventually catch it."
Misty smiled sadly at Red. "Thanks."
Yellow bit the inside of her cheek irritably and walked forward, pushing her way between the two. "Ahem." She coughed. "We're supposed to be on the lookout of anything off, remember?"
Misty glared at the blond. "Yeah, we know shorty."
Before the two girls could start a cat-fight, Red spoke up. "Does that count as 'off'?" He said, pointing out at sea.
Misty and Yellow looked to where Red was pointing. The shack had begun spinning around in a whirlpool that was starting to form. Its center was starting to glow a white light. Before anyone could raise a question, the water shot upwards and a Pokémon appeared.
Misty gasped. "Is that a Suicune?"
"A shiny one." Red said, exchanging a look with Yellow. Blue and Green had told them what happened with the shiny Suicune back in the Cerulean Gym. Red was about to tell Misty about it, who's eyes were glued to Pokémon running across the water's surface towards them, when another voice came from across the water.
"Stop running from me already!" Water from the center of the whirlpool shot upwards again and another Pokémon appeared. This time it was a Mantine. Several Remoraid were hanging from the Mantine, two of them holding what looked like a stick from which a person was hanging from. "I will catch you Suicune! You'll be my first Legendary! Bubblebeam!"
The Mantine fired off a stream of blue and purple bubbles at the Suicune. Suicune spun around and skidded to a halt on the water's surface, sending up a spray of water. It's body glowed slightly, using Calm Mind. The Bubblebeam crashed into Suicune harmlessly and the legendary opened its mouth to fire off an Ice Beam.
The Ice Beam collided with the Mantine's right wing. Suicune turned and ran resumed its escape, not bothering to watch the Pokémon and trainer come crashing to the water-soaked ground. Suicune ran past Red, Yellow, and Misty, drawing their attention away from the falling trainer. Misty's hand reached for a Pokéball and brought out her Starmie. "Follow that Suicune!" Misty yelled. With a 'Hiyah!' the Starmie flew through the air, chasing the legendary Pokémon with Misty only a few feet behind.
"Misty wait!" Red yelled after her, "That's not a real –"
"LOOK OUT BELOW!"
Red and Yellow turned the other way to see the Mantine and black-haired trainer heading right for them. Both trainers managed to jump out of the way and the trainer landed with a very mushy sounding thump.
Mantine got up first and started flying around its trainer, prodding the boy with its head every few seconds. A billiard cue pierced the muddy ground next in the boy, wobbling back and forth. He wore a red and white hoodie with yellow shorts. On his back was a white backpack, his black hair covered by a black hat with a yellow strip down the middle.
"Are you alright?" Yellow asked, walking over to the boy and touching his shoulder gently.
The boy jerked his head upwards, the goggles covering his eyes were covered in water and mud. He quickly wiped the mud from his goggles with his sleeve and then pushed the goggles up to his hat. His golden eyes looked Yellow up and down before smiling. "I'm fine. So what's your name cutie?"
Blue's butt met with soft grass as she dropped a foot out of the air. She looked around, finding that she was in a patch of tall grass somewhere on a Route. A row of trees grew to her left. Green, Silver, Charizard, and Turtley all appeared a few seconds later around her. "Green, Silver, are you alright?"
Silver rubbed his head with his hand. "I'm fine."
"Me too." Green replied as he stood up and called his Charizard back.
Blue stood up and called her knocked out Pokemon as well. She half-smiled down at him through the ball. "Have a good rest, alright?"
"What are you doing?" Green asked Silver. The young boy was looking around quickly, pacing the area. He was apparently too busy to answer because Silver merely waved Green off. The brown haired teen crossed his arms in annoyance and also looked around. "Hey Blue, where's your Clefairy?"
"CLEFAIRY!" A very small voice cried out frightfully.
All heads turned to a row of trees where Cleffo flew out of. The Pokémon tripped again, and a Pokéball flew through the air, missing the pink blob. A female voice came from the other side of the trees. "After it Mega!"
A few seconds later, a Meganium burst through the tree line as well. Its sight was set on Cleffo, but it looked startled at the sight of the three other trainers. The Meganium skidded to a halt and moved its front paws slightly as if unsure of what to do before turning back to the tree line. A girl with dark-blue hair stepped out from the trees, also looking slightly surprised at the sight of the trainers. Cleffo took one look at the girl and uttered a cry of fear before jumping into Blue's arms. The girl wore yellow and black biker shorts with a red blouse. On top of the blouse was an unzipped white jacket with a white backpack. Star shaped earring dotted her ears and her outfit was finished with a small yellow hat that topped off her head.
"Oh, is that Clefairy yours?" The blue-haired girl asked.
"Yeah…" Blue said, eyeing the girl. "Cleffo used a Metronome and teleported us. We got separated for a little while."
"Oh, sorry about that. I saw it just running around and I got a little carried away." The girl reached backwards into her backpack and pulled out a Rawst Berry. "Your Pokémon's burned, do you mind?" The last part directed more at Cleffo.
Cleffo glared at the girl for a moment before jumping out of Blue's arms. It landed on Mega's, the Meganium's, head before hoping into the girls hands and snatching the berry away. As a final stunt, Cleffo jumped back at Blue, doing a flip in mid-air before landing on its trainer shoulder.
The girl laughed as Cleffo started eating the berry. "I'm Crystal by the way. Crystal Kostoris."
"Blue Kurukku." Blue smiled at Crystal.
"Silver." Silver said without giving his last name.
Green was staring at the girl. The look on his face was like he was trying to remember something after Crystal introduced herself. "I'm Green…Oak."
Crystal was up in Green's face so fast, even her Mega was startled. "You're Mr. Oak's Grandson!" She exclaimed. "I've been writing him for months, trying to get him to take me on as an apprentice but he keeps saying no. Do you think you can put something in for me? You know, like saying something good about me?"
Green blinked, backing up a little. That's where he knew her from. It was her name that he had seen on his grandpa's letter before he left for the trip. "Um, well I might be able to?"
Blue laughed to herself. Looks like Green had trouble with all women, not just herself. "So Crystal," Blue said, deciding to save Green from the younger girl. "why'd you want to catch Cleffo so badly?"
Crystal turned back to Blue smiled at the Clefairy now sitting on Blue's hat. "I'm trying to get at least one of every single Pokémon ever created, including all the legendary ones. I know anything and everything about them." She boasted slightly. "It's just so rare to see a Clefairy this side of Mt. Silver I knew I wasn't going to let it get away."
"This side of Mt. Silver?" Green asked.
Crystal tilted her head slightly. "Um, yeah. You usually don't see Clefairy in Johto."
"Wait, we're in Johto?" Green said, looking confused.
"You didn't figure that out already?" Silver smirked at him. "Only gym level players are allowed online in Kanto right now. Since you none of us recognized Crystal right away she obviously isn't one." He raised his hand and pointed to behind Green and Blue. "Look, that's Kanto."
Boy and girl looked to where he was pointing. In the sky, a large gray wall rose up into the sky; the wall was crawling with ones and zeros. Crystal was staring at the three. "What, you guys logged in in Kanto?"
"It's a long story." Green sighed and turned to Crystal. "So, where are we right now?"
"Route 38, just north of Olivine City." Crystal said, starting off south. "Which is where I'm heading right now."
"Why?" Blue asked, following the girl.
Crystal smiled. "If you have to know, I've got information that Kyogre sometimes shows up in the bay there." As she spoke, clouds to the south began to darken and rumble. "And that Kyogre is supposed to show up today."
"So you found that Suicune on one of the routes and just started chasing it?" Red asked as he helped the golden-eyed boy to his feet.
"Yeah." The boy grumbled. "I would have caught it too if it hadn't jumped into the water. So where'd I end up anyways?"
"Cerulean cape." Red answered.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The boy exclaimed. "You mean Cerulean, as in Kanto's Cerulean? That's impossible."
Yellow tilted her head. "Why?"
"Cus a few seconds ago I was chasing Suicune through Olivine City, in Johto."
Red looked out to the water where the whirlpool was starting to settle down. "I think…you may have found one of the legendary's travel routes."
"Really?" The boy sounded surprised as he looked out to the water as well. "I just kinda jumped in after it and followed it." The boy continued to stare out at sea as he walked over to his billiard cue, which was still wobbling back and forth.
"I'm gonna try and get in contact with Green." Red said to Yellow quietly. Yellow nodded to acknowledge what he said and Red walked a few feet away before bring up a screen with his hand.
Yellow turned back to the boy and was surprised to find him standing in front of her again. He was easily a foot taller than her, his golden eyes and smile made him seem sorta like a kid. "So, I never got your name before."
Yellow's eyebrow twitched slightly. The way he was looking at her, it was like his eyes were doing something crude and perverted. "It's impolite to ask for someone's name before giving your own."
The boy smirked at her and moved closer, putting his arms around her and trapping her in a little square with his billiard cue and pulling Yellow closer to himself. "Name's Gold Reginato. You can scream it when –"
Yellow had heard enough. She swiftly brought her right knee upwards, rendering the golden eyed playboy speechless. Gold was on the ground, wheezing as he tried to regain his breath. Yellow kneeled down to get closer to him. "I'm Yellow. And if you don't want to have a new one ripped for you, don't try that again." Yellow smiled at him. "Okay?"
Gold nodded quickly, giving the small blond another look up and down as if reassessing if she really was a girl. Red walked back over to them, taking one look at Gold and asked, "What happened to him?"
"Nothing important." Yellow said, casting a look in Gold's direction.
"Y-Yeah. I just slipped." Gold stuttered, wobbling slightly as he stood back up.
Red raised a curious eyebrow but didn't press the issue. "I couldn't get ahold of Green. I tried Blue and Silver too, but all I got was snow." Red said to Yellow. "Do you think we should go and check on them?"
Yellow crossed her arms and thought for a moment. Blue, Green, and Silver could all take care of themselves, but if they couldn't get ahold of a single one of them… Before Yellow could answer, the voice of a red-haired tomboy interrupted her. "Starmie Psyshock!"
The shiny Suicune burst back over the crest of the hill, several purple spears created by Starmie missing the legendary Pokémon by only a few inches. Misty and her Starmie were quick to follow, appearing only a few seconds after the Suicune at the top of the hill. Suicune continued its downwards decent, racing right past the three trainers at the bottom of the hill and straight across the top of the water.
"Get back here!" Misty yelled in desperation, sliding down the wet hillside. She didn't even pause to take notice of Red, or Yellow for that matter. Instead she called her Starmie back and quickly switched Pokémon. "Let's go Lanturn!"
The water Pokémon appeared in a red flash a few feet out in the water. Misty ran out to it quickly, issuing her next order as she splashed into the water. "Thunderbolt!"
The yellow balls on Lanturn's head glowed for a few seconds before the Pokémon gave a cry and discharged a bolt of electricity at Suicune. It flew through the air and connected, causing Suicune to howl in pain. The legendary Pokémon turned its head backwards and fired off an Aurora Beam at the trainers who dodged easily. Ahead of Suicune the whirlpool pick up speed and the Pokémon dove right in.
"You're not getting away!" Misty yelled after it, taking hold of her Lanturn. "You will be mine!" Lanturn grunted in agreement and shot off, carrying its trainer towards the whirlpool.
"Hey, I saw it first!" Gold yelled after her. "Come on Mantaro! Let's beat that crazy chick there first!" Mantine cried happily and several Remoraid burst out of the water, attaching themselves to the bottom of the flying fish. Two of the Remoraid took ahold of Gold's billiard cue and the young trainer gave a quick salute to Red and Yellow. "Smell ya later!" And with that Mantaro took off after Misty.
Red and Yellow exchanged a look. "Well I guess we should go after it too. We already know that the hacker created that thing."
"But I don't have a water type." Yellow said quickly, looking out at the whirlpool where Misty had just disappeared. "I don't think I'll be able to swim to it before it disappears."
"Don't worry." Red smiled, plucking a Pokéball from his waist. "You can hitch a ride with me." Red tossed the ball up and a Gyarados appeared in the water in front of the two.
Yellow frowned at it slightly as the sea serpent gave a happy roar. That's right, Misty traded this Pokémon to Red. Gyara leaned down to let Red climb onto its head. Red offered his hand to Yellow, who took it while blushing slightly. Red pulled her onto Gyara's head and set her down in front of him. "Let's go Gyara!" He exclaimed happily, grabbing hold of the white fin in front of Yellow for support.
Yellow's face exploded with color. He's just holding the fin for support. In no way are we hugging each other! She thought to herself frantically while also grabbing ahold of the fin. She did her best to ignore the fact that their hands keep brushing together on the wet scale.
Ahead, Gold and Mantaro had just dived into the center of the whirlpool. That's when the thought occurred to Yellow. "Um, Red. Nothing bad will happen to us if we're underwater, right?"
"Um, maybe?"
Yellow frowned. "That's not very reassuring."
Red laughed as Gyara reached the edge of the whirlpool. "Well, we're going to find out soon enough."
Yellow gripped the fin slightly tighter and took a breath as Gyara dove headfirst into the swirling waters, Red's arms tightening around her as they disappeared under the surface.
Blue's Special Notes 16: Team X and more about Legendary Pokemon
On the 'Outside' there are teams like Rocket, Magma, Aqua, and those other two, and events that they cause, such as waking up the legendary Pokemon. However they do not exist in 'Inside' to summon the legendary Pokemon for you. We have to do all the work. Plus some of the Legendary Pokemon have certain requirements that you need to fulfill before they even show themselves to you. For example; if you want to catch Dialga or Palkia, you first need to find and catch the three Pokemon, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. Once you do that, you'll get the 'Red Chain' item and then your chances of running into Dialga and Palkia go from 0.00% to 0.01%
Yeah, I know. Lame right? After all that work you still have to go and look for the bloody dragons. But at least now you have a chance to see them. Pretty much half of all Legendary Pokemon require an item for you to obtain before being able to have a chance at seeing it. It just makes it all the harder to get them. My database is pretty limited when it comes to legendary Pokemon but...that Crystal girl seems to know a lot.
Kaith: Pa pa pa la pa! (Sorry I'm listening to an addictive song while I'm writing this =P)
Can any of you guess what's going to happen in the next chapter? Here's a hint, you'll need a bowl of popcorn and Crystal gets to show off her knowledge with Blue.
Sorry, I had originally planed to have this chapter up last Friday morning, for the weekend, however I went going to Anime Detour and woke up 5 minutes before my anime club left for it so I didn't get a chance to upload it from my college. Just a little note, like I put at the top of my profile, I have a ton of term papers to do and tests to now study for since I only have one month of college left so I won't be getting many updates done this month. Please bear with me as I blow my brains out from the sheer overload of information.
Virtual cake for anyone who leaves long reviews! And for those flamers lurking out there… *Puts flamer-hating cat, armed with an AK47, on guard*
