Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or any of the characters

I'm sorry I left Gold behind but they thought he was dead because with all electric explosion in the water and all. At first I wanted to name Gold and Crystal's kid a yellow gem but when I read the meaning of a Moonstone I just thought Mangaquestshipping.

This is the last Chapter before the epilogue! I had more planned but since not many people like this story I'm just going to end it early and start my new one about fairy tail.

"I won't run away again." Yellow huffed and crossed her arms.

"That's what you said the last couple times." Silver snapped, tying her feet to Blue's. This way Yellow couldn't run away, not if she wanted to drag a lifeless Blue with her. "And don't even try to untie yourself; I tied it too hard for you to be able to."

"Yellow we're trying to help you." Lyra argued.

"Then help me get back to Red!"

"I'm more afraid of what he'll do to me than what you'll do to me." Silver said lazily, rubbing the back of his head. They were supposed to be on a train by now but somehow Lyra's pouch of money had gotten lost when she gave it to Yellow to buy the tickets while she went with Silver to buy some more supplies.

"Well…" Lyra hesitated thinking of how she missed Silver during the years he was in Kanto. "I promise when this is over I'll help you find Red. If I ever see Red again I'll tell him where you are. I often come down here for supplies."

"No." Silver said firmly, "Red knows your safe and you know that he's safe in return, that should be enough for you."

"But it's not the same." Yellow said softly.

"Don't worry Yellow," Lyra patted her arm, "You'll see Red again."

"Of course!" Yellow jumped to her feet, "Crystal lives here so she should be able to help me."

When she tried to run, Yellow fell to the round face forward, forgetting she was tied to Blue.

"We have no choice." Silver sigh, "We need money for the train since Honchkrow can't carry us all and the supplies at the same time. We can get a job at the pub by the lighthouse. Between the three of us and tips we can get enough money for the trip before long. Lyra does that guy that owns a hotel still owe you a favour? We can stay there for free for a while. We'll keep Yellow there. Gaged and tied up."

Silver glared at Yellow when he said the last part. "You don't have to be such a scrooge; I can get a job there too."

"Will you run?"

"Let's make a deal," Yellow suggested, "If I can make enough money to buy passage to a ship that will take me to Red, I can at least look for him with your help but if I don't then you get all my money. She the time limit will be the end of the week."

"We out number you three to one, that's not a very smart deal."

"Never underestimate me." Yellow said firmly. "I love Red. I just want to see him again."

"You're becoming more like Blue." Silver gaze slid to the woman in question but it was as if she wasn't there, just a fragment of what was.

"Come on Blue!" Lyra grabbed her arm, pulling her up, "We need your help."

Blue looked up but she didn't really focused on anything. "I'll help."

Crystal slammed the door in her brother's face that held a mix of sorrow and grief. She collapsed on the bed, and began to cry for her supposedly late husband. She dug her face into the pillow that carried his scent. She could still feel him, as if he was laying right there next to her. He was everywhere. She saw him in the kitchen eating them out of house and home. She saw them on the bed they share. She saw holding her in his arms, promising here that everything would be alright. Suddenly angry, she threw the pillow against the wall.

"I hate you Gold! You lied to me, you said you'll come back, you said you'll be there for me, you said that you'll come back in time for our baby, you promised…"

Crystal slumped down the bed. She couldn't think like that, it was bad for the baby. She had to be strong for the new baby and Emerald. Oh Arceus, how was she going to tell Emerald?

She meekly got up and retrieved the pillow from where it rest on the floor. She needed the comfort of his scent. Hiding under the blanket, she hugged the pillow to her body and thought, I'll be strong later, I just need my Gold to hold me right now. She let herself breakdown here no one could see her, and began to cry until sleep took over.

When she woke she felt a wet spot on her shoulder. Groggily, she sat up and saw Emerald curled up beside her.

"Is it true Momma, I'll never get to see Poppa again?" He looked up at her with such desperate eyes she almost lied to her own son. When she nodded, he buried his head in her lap and cried. "It can't be true, momma, please tell me it's not true!"

"I'm sorry Rald but we have to be strong."

Emerald jumped to his feet and smiled through his tears, "Because Poppa isn't here anymore I have to protect you and the baby. I'll teach her about pokemon just like poppa wanted."

Crystal shook his head with a gentle smile, "You still have your childhood ahead of you. Let your uncles be the men, you need to enjoy your childhood while more, while you still have it."

"I miss poppa." He admitted.

Wiping her tears, so Emerald wouldn't see them, she said gently, "I do too."

"Hey, how are you two?" Red walked in with a tray of food. Crystal's favorite foods were arranged just the way she liked it on the tray. "How is he holding up?"

"Better than I am." Crystal admitted with a sad smile. "Are you sure he's gone though, he could be…"

"Don't get your hopes up Crystal, it will only be harder for you to accept the truth, and you need to focus on your delicate condition." Green snapped, "What was Gold thinking leaving you to raise two kids on your own."

"Don't talk about poppa like that!" Emerald looked up at his uncle with angry eyes, "Poppa wouldn't do that to us! It's your entire fault anyway, you left him! You dragged him your stupid revenge thingy! You killed Gold indirectly! You killed my Poppa!"

"Emerald, please wait!" Crystal tried to grab Emerald as he ran out the door but Green stopped her.

"Let him go, he needs to grow up and accept things as they go." Green said in his usual grouchy voice.

"Don't take your anger out on him." Red muttered to Green, "I know you're still angry that you lost Blue but you're not the only one to lose someone important to them. Everyone in this room just lost someone, so you can try to be more sensitive."

"I'm leaving." Green left, slamming the door after him.

"I'm sorry about that little sis," Red ruffled her hair, "You know how Green is."

"Please don't give me that fake smile Red."

He stiffened but his smile only fluttered a little, "How can you tell?"

"I've lived with ever since I was nine; I'm bound to learn some things about you in that time. You like hiding your problems with smiles while Green tried to scare them away with this scary scowl. I learned from you guys that ignoring them won't make them go away, so that's why I always face my problems head on."

"Gold said that what he loved about you. I'm sorry he died to protect me. Here take this, I found it among Gold's things," Red handed her a light blue moonstone, "I was listening to Gold and Green talk and Gold slipped about the baby. He wanted it to be named Moonstone, said something about it reuniting lovers that quarrel."

Tears spilled over the brim of her eyes. "It's a girl, I can feel it. I wanted to tell Gold the good news when he came back but… I want her to have gold eyes, like her father."

"Funny, he said he wanted her to have your eyes and it would be better for the kid to have eyes like her mother."

"I know but this baby may be the last thing I have of him, the most precious thing he ever gave me. I just wish he was here to share this with us."

"I know. He always knew how to brighten the mood. Hey, I'll take you and Green to Olivine Pub to cheer you up but no drinking for you, you're carrying."

"I know, isn't it great?"

"Green doesn't think so." Red laughed, half-heartedly.

"You're going to get fired!" Lyra whispered harshly to Silver who was manning the bar. Silver just glared at the man who had to be carried out by his friend after Silver did a number on him. He didn't like the idea of Lyra waitressing to those drunken bastard. When he said they should find a job at Olivine Pub, he was hoping that she could wash dishes or cook but no they had to give her this job. Already he caught a couple men stare lustily after her. At least he could still watch over her from his position at the bar.

"He got what he deserves." Silver said coldly, "I didn't like the way that bastard was looking at you."

"Just know that I wasn't looking his way," she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush, "I was distracted watching you. But don't think just cause you're cute I'll let you get away with looking at other girls and I don't care if they were the one that flirted with you. I fully expect you to push them away."

He looked over her shoulder, "How's Blue?"

"She got some of her spirit back."

They turned to watch Blue serve a group of girls, "Here's your order."

"Thank you." One of them replayed politely before turning back to her friends, "Did you see Bronze's new Rapidash? He's like a knight in shining armour!"

"Don't raise your hopes girl!" Blue snapped at her, slamming down the tray, "Let me tell you a story, once upon a time a girl was in love then he turned out to be a total jackass that was only using you for some damn revenge plot and he totally threw you aside! I don't know if he lived happily ever after but sure did! I don't need love!"

Silver rolled his eyes as Blue went on with her speech. He didn't really listen since it was his fifth time hearing it. He swore that the next time he see Green again he'll break every bone in his body. "And how's Yellow doing?"

"She's getting some tips but not enough for safe passage on a ship. Let's just hope she doesn't get any more money but still enough to help us pay for the tickets."

"Get to work!" The landlady yelled at Lyra. She was short and her hair was graying but nevertheless she scared Lyra. The lady didn't like Lyra or the others since her own child had died at sea yet they came saying they just came from there. Why had her wonderful daughter had died and they survived?

She slammed a tray onto the counter.

"I'll take that." Yellow said sweetly, taking the tray of soup.

"Take this to the light haired man at the table by the window." She ordered, "And where did that brunette go?"

Yellow had seen Blue leave a while ago but she didn't tell the Landlady that because Yellow sensed that Blue needed some time on her own. "I'm sure she just went to check on the activities in the kitchen."

Yellow saw the man waiting patiently for his food. She putted on a smile and made her way over to him. She loathed this job but she was doing this to be reunited with Red. The air was foul and it was too crowded for Yellow's comfort. Several time today, she had to dodge impious hands that shot out to grab her.

When a random hand reached out a tried to grab her around the waist she gracefully turned her body away from her pursuer.

"Sorry but I'm happily married," She gave him a cheeky smile before turning back but not before she caught sight of who was at the door. Everything stopped for several moments as she was held immobile by a pair of crimson eyes. She didn't notice that she dropped the tray until she felt herself being dragged into the air by the roots of her hair.

"That was my mutton you spilled you…" The light haired man yelled but the rest of what he was going to say was drowned out by Yellow's screams of pain. Silver and Lyra rushed forward to help Yellow but rushed to a stop when they saw a man grabbed onto the light haired man's arm.

"Let her go."

"This will cheer you two up!" Red flung his arm over Green's and Crystal's shoulder, "Don't think about whatever's worrying you. I've got everything straighten out for you."

"Wait, did you remember to get someone to watch over Emerald."

"Of course I did!" Red said hurt that they underestimated him, "I left him with Sapphire and Ruby! I was able to convince them to stay awhile before they left for their trip."

"Them, why them?" Crystal whined, "Have they even taken care of a kid before, someone like Emerald nevertheless!"

"Don't worry!" Red argued.

As he walked in he saw the one thing he thought he'll never see again. His wife.

She was at the pub, laughing and smiling as if their parting hadn't affected her at all. He felt his rage build when he saw a man reach for her and all she did was smile. But his sorrow outweighed his rage.

But her next words filled him with pride, "Sorry but I'm happily married."

Then their eyes met. He smiled at her brazenly. She was safe, that was all that mattered to him, and the fact that she still loved him was another bonus. Tears fell out of her eyes as she dropped the tray and made her way to him. She looked as if she was in a trance and she didn't believe what she saw before her.

Then that bastard touched her. Red's vision was blurred by a red glare, everything faded away except for the man that ignited his rage. He walked slowly towards the two, anger radiated from him. He grabbed the man wrist but didn't do any damage, not yet at least. Red was a fair man so he would give the man a chance.

"Let her go." Red ordered in a dark voice.

Too bad the man didn't take the chance. "The bitch needs to learn her place."

Before Red could do anything Yellow raised her knee and brought it to the man's groin, "Go Nyoro!"

The blue tadpole pokemon appeared from over Red's shoulder and dug his fist into the man's face. The man clutched his broken noise, letting go of Yellow. Red looked at his Poliwrath, who was wearing a black bowtie.

"Hey buddy," Red knelt down and patted his Nyoro on the head. "What's with the get up Yellow?"

She didn't answer; instead she threw herself into his arms and cried. Her wild sobs shock his body. He buried his head in her hair and let her cry. Yellow was glad that he was here, her ground that kept her from falling. He was her guardian angel and fate would bring them back together.

"She never went anywhere without Nyoro and she always have him out of his pokeball. The landlady wouldn't let Nyoro in unless he worked." Silver said behind them.

Red smiled and looked down at Yellow; she rubbed her nose against the wet stain she caused on his shoulder. He smiled and rubbed his noise on her hair, needing her warmth to reassure her that she was real and wouldn't disappear on him.

"Bitch!" Their moment was interrupted by the man's roar. He stood up still clutching his blood nose. When he went to land a punch on Red but he was too fast and easily dodge the blow, causing him to hit another man.

"What was that for?" He cried, throwing his mug at the man but thanks to his drunken state, it missed its target and it would have hit Lyra if Silver didn't pull her out of the way.

"Oh, hell no!" Silver slammed his fist on the table, his clenched hand breaking through the wood, his hard steel eyes flashing. "Who threw that? I swear whoever did it I'll break every bone in your arm! I'll start at your pinky finger and work my way up and when I go to break your neck you'll be thanking me."

No one really wanted to face Silver's wrath since, unlike Red, no one was given a chance to apologize before being beat to their death. So instead they pointed in any random direction. The only problem with their plan was that Silver would beat every one of them until he reach the correct one, if he did confess at all. This is what Silver would call 'the process of elimination'.

"Don't go starting a fight!" Lyra wrapped her arms around his waist. "I don't want the authorities to take you away!"

"I won't kill anyone. I'm just going to teach them a lesson." Silver tried to reason, "no worse than a broken arm."

Frighten by Silver's threat, they called out their Pokemon in defense.

She sighed and let her arms slid from his waist. She reached into her pocket and threw out a pokeball. Her Sandslash appeared, "If you're going to fight than I'm going to by your side."

Silver smirked and called out his Weavile. "Use Ice Shard!"

"Sandslash use Slash!"

Crystal sat down at a table and ignored the riot going on around her. She sighed and wished she had stayed home with Emerald rather than come here tonight.

"Wait!" Green tried to work his way through the crowd to Silver. When he reached him, Green grabbed his shoulder, "Where's Blue!"

"Like hell I'm going to tell you after you hurt her and made her cry like that!" Silver spun around to punch him.

Green didn't even brother dodge it. Silver could have first blood, he reasoned, he deserved it. When Silver grabbed his by the collar instead and saw that he didn't intend to fight back he saw that Green did care for. Resigned, Silver pushed Green to the ground. Knowing Blue like he did, he reasoned that she'll twist his guts before she forgave him.

Silver sighed and whisper, "She always goes to the light house at night to watch the sea when she's sad."

Green nodded without smiling, "Thank you."

"If you ever hurt her like that again I'll break your face in."

"I won't even put up a fight." Green promises

When he was almost out the door Silver called out again, "Hey Green?"

Green turned around to see what Silver wanted but was faced with shards of ice rampaging towards him. Green quickly stepped to the side to dodge it. "What was that for?"

"Who said I was going to let you go to her without a fight."

Green let out a frustrated sigh. He didn't have time for this! He wanted, needed to see Blue and fall to tell him how he felt. He just wanted the chance to beg for her love again but if she still wanted him to leave then he would honour her wishes, even if it killed him.

Crystal, having finally had enough, stood up and everyone went still. She glared at everyone in room and a dark aura appeared around her. "Sit down!"

They all sat where they were, even the pokemon obeyed her! "I have a damn headache and not in the mood to deal with this! I have a ten year old son that acts more mature than you. Silver must you act out whenever…"

"Man I missed a fight!" They all turned to Gold who was leaning heavily on his Aitaro. "Really Super Serious Gal, do you have to ruin it so quickly?"

"Yeah, momma!" Emerald was holding onto Gold's hand as if he expected gold to fade away if he let go. "I wanted to fight too."

Gold had went home first looking for his wife and son only to find him in the forest and told that his wife was at a pub! He was hurt at first but then Emerald told him that the only reason she went was because Red dragged her along and left him in the care of Sapphire and Ruby.

"It's just like you to bring Emrald to a pub." Crystal didn't scream like he expected her to do, even more surprisingly she didn't kick him in the head, but she did sent him to the ground when she tackled him and hugged him. "You never change do you?"

"Why would I? You fell in love with this me! It's no surprise since I'm awesome!" Crystal recognize the grin she fell in love and annoyed her all at the same time.

"Go have the biggest ego I've ever seen!" She rubbed her puffy eyes with her sleeve, trying to give him a stern look but failed when she smiled and buried her head in his chest.

"It's call confidence sweetie." He said smoothly.

Crystal didn't know how it happened but fate had brought her husband back to her and so would always be grateful. The fourth member of their family suddenly made her presence known causing both Crystal and Gold laugh while Emerald watched them confused. Smiling Crystal took his hand and pressed it to her stomach.

"It's my sister!" Emerald cried out.

"Let's celebrate!" Red hugged Yellow to him.

"Oh, no you don't!" Crystal stood, "I'm not finish with you all. Who starts a riot because someone dropped a tray of food?"

"You lost Emerald!" Ruby yelled as he climbed out from under the bed.

It had only been a couple hours since Red had left Emerald in their care and already they were failing their job. First they couldn't decide what to play with Emerald to keep him occupied and ended up deciding to play catch where they broke every glass object in the room. Next Emerald and Sapphire declared they were hungry and demanded for Ruby to make them something to eat. Ruby had no experience with cooking tried but utterly botched it. After tasting the food they ran out to the forest the first moment Ruby back was turned.

When Ruby found them mossing he went out to look for them. He found Sapphire eating some berries but no Emerald.

"Me?" Sapphire snapped as she threw clothes out of the closet. "You were supposed to be helping me look after him but instead you try to kill the boy with that plate of slob you call food!"

"You were the one that got hungry and demanded for me to make you some food!"

"Well I can't cook. Do you think I can just because I'm a woman?"

"No since you blow every female stereotype out of the water, well except for the one that state that women are loud and emotional."

"I am not!" Sapphire insisted with a whine.

"Some people would call what you're doing yelling!"

"Some people would call what you made me and Emerald poisonous!"

"You can't cook yourself!"

"But I'm smart enough not to poison anyone trying!" Sapphire retorted, "I am never letting you cook for me ever again! Anyway Emerald probably ran because he saw the outfit you were making and thought you would try to make him try it on! I don't blame him if he did. That thing had more bows and ribbon than a wedding chapel."

Ruby couldn't help but smile when Sapphire slumped down on Emerald's bed and sigh dramatically, "I'm so hungry!"

Ruby lay down next to her, "Where do you think he is?"

"The Pub!" Sapphire sat up.

"You're probably right; he's been saying how had to be with Crystal and the baby so he's most likely there."

"Well I was going to say that we can get dinner there but you're right. Emerald should be safe since it's only a short distance from here to the Pub."

"We're the worst babysitter ever." Ruby laughed. "I hope we're better with our own kid."

"Kid?" She would've sat up to look at his face but he rolled over, trapping her beneath him.

"You know how you want me to talk to my dad again for me to get you to come along with me on my journey." Feeling a little shy, Sapphire nodded, "Well I want to up the deal. I really don't want to talk to my dad again so you have to do a little more. How about marrying me? I wouldn't mind a few sons as well."

"S-sons?"

"Yes, I want little boys and maybe some girls as well. You do know how they're made, do you?"

Sapphire blushed furiously when Ruby tickled her neck with his nose. "If not, I can show you."

While Crystal was chastising the other men about their horrid behaviour Green had slipped away. He saw the light house. Stuffing his hand into his cloak pocket, he just hope that Silver was right about Blue being at the lighthouse.

Green didn't realize he was running until he reach the lighthouse, panting and out of breath. He saw her, or at least he hoped it was her. If it was her then it would be fate showing him that Blue was his destiny. If not… then this was the world's way of making him pay for his sins. He would live a life of unhappiness as penitence.

Blue stared up at the starry sky. She couldn't stand watching the sea because it made her think of him, but then again she was drawn to it oddly every night. She watched the moon cast a white shadow on the dark blue sea. She would always watch that same shadow on broad the Strom Chaser but now she couldn't do that anymore. She couldn't mess with Gold's food anymore. She couldn't play matchmaker anymore. She couldn't see Green glares anymore. Somehow the last one hurt her more than the rest. Somehow she became a part of their obscured family then kicked rudely out of it by the one person she secretly wanted acceptance from. The only person she opened her heart for and let herself hope that there was a chance for love.

Green Oak, you truly are a jerk, Blue thought to herself.

When she heard someone running up the stairs she instantly thought to hide. She didn't want anyone to see that she was crying again though she had a suspicion that Lyra and Silver already knew about her trips to the lighthouse. After she cry out her sorrow she would come down the steps to find a warm blanket folded under a cup of hot coffee.

It was Silver tradition to do that with Lyra at their time with the Masked Man. When she was about to leave it was too late the person was too close to escape without notice. She could hear his harsh panting and thought he just came from a run.

"Leave, this is my spot." Blue said in a braver voice than she felt than he voice broke. "Just…leave."

"I can't do that." Blue turned sharply when she heard Green's voice.

No, this can't be happening; she thought to herself, she just got over him and here he was just to torment her. Who was she kidding, she never got over him and she's been deluding herself that she was when in reality she missed him more than she was willing to admit, more than she could put into words.

"I'm mistaken, this isn't my spot, you stay. I need to go." Blue turned to run from him but he grabbed her hand.

"Please wait Blue!" It was the plea in Green's voice rather than his hand that kept her in place.

"What do you want?"

"I just need to talk to you. I'm sorry for pushing you away but you scared the hell out of me. You the most meddling woman I've ever known." He started listing her faults and Blue felt herself get angrier, "Despite knowing all that I still love you and that scares me even more. I remember when we first left on our journey. I told Red that we would find a treasure greater than everything else. I was right I found you... I found love."

"You love me?"

"Yes and can you say you love me back so I stop feeling like such an ass."

"You idiot of course I love you!" Blue brushed away her tears and jumped into his arms, "and for our wedding present I want you to give me a girl."

"I don't know if I can take another you." Green sighed, "But sure."

I know I over use Silver's Weavile but all his other pokemon are big and scary looking. If he sent out his Red Gyarados or his Rhyperior they'll probably rick the whole pub since they're three times the size of a regular person.

I made Ruby show his perverted side :P I just couldn't resist!
