Hey everyone...I'm so sorry this chapter took forever. It was the hardest ch. for me to write so far and I'm still not happy with it... Still, I hope you like it. Please read and review! Oh, about last week's ch. Many of you guys reviewed asking about Blue/Green's pasts. Don't worry...all will be revealed to you soon dear readers...

Disclaimer: If Pokemon were mine, there would be quite a few changes, but it's not, so no changes for me...

Green's P.O.V.

"Aaaaaaaaaaagh!!!"

Pushing through one more thick bush, I finally reached the source of the scream. Crouched down on the ground in front of me was Magenta. Her hands were on top of her head and she was shivering slightly.

I stared at her for a moment before walking over and putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Agh!" she screamed, flailing wildly and falling on her bottom. Then she looked up and saw me.

"Green! Thank Latias you're here!" she cried out, jumping to her feet and attaching herself to my arm. Scizor, who had just arrived, rolled his eyes and glared at Magenta.

"What's wrong?" I said, while trying to pull myself away from Magenta. She only hung on harder though, not letting up at all.

Magenta shook her head and sniffed, before speaking. "There was a really scary pokemon…"

"Where was it?" Immediately, Scizor was on the alert, his eyes shifting around. I also scanned the area for any sign of a dangerous pokemon.

"Over there," hiccupped Magenta, pointing at a small clump of bushes to my left.

Suddenly, the bushes started to shake a little. Both Scizor and I tensed up as Magenta gripped my arm even tighter.

"Eek!" screamed Magenta when out of the bushes popped…

…a Weedle. Both Scizor and I stared speechless at the small bug Pokemon. Then I looked at Magenta who was cowering behind me.

"A Weedle?"

She nodded frantically, "Yeah! Bug Pokemon are scary and ugly!!!"

Scizor was now giving Magenta an offended death glare. (Obviously she didn't realize Scizor was a bug Pokemon.) Finally I was able to shake her off. She was still whimpering and whining about the Weedle on the ground. I sighed.

"Scizor, get rid of the Weedle."

Scizor looked at me, before walking over, picking up the Weedle and placing it in a nearby tree. Magenta looked up, hearing the noise, and gasped.

"You got rid of the ugly Pokemon! You're my hero!" Once again, she clung to my arm. I shook her off impatiently and walked away. Scizor followed, leaving Magenta behind. He glanced back at her once then turned to me questioningly.

"She'll be fine," I said to Scizor. He nodded and we continued going through the woods. Suddenly, Scizor tensed up. I looked at him as he cocked his head to one side then dashed off. Once again, I was running, this time after Scizor.

Blue's P.O.V.

"Puriri, no!"

Just as the Gyarados shot out the Hyper Beam, I managed to tackle Puriri to the ground. Both of us tumbled to the floor as one of the trees disintegrated behind us.

Sitting up quickly, I checked over Puriri. Luckily, she seemed unharmed, only slightly muddy. I hugged her tightly in relief.

"Wiggly!" Puriri's sudden cry snapped me back to reality, as the Gyarados roared, opening his mouth to ready another Hyper Beam. I got to my feet, still holding Puriri in my arms. Once again, the Gyarados fired another attack at us and I ducked behind a large boulder for cover.

Mentally, I was cursing the Gyarados with all the cuss words I knew (and a few that I made up) as I tried to come up with a plan. Nothing was coming up. Then as it opened its mouth to recharge, yet again, something clicked in my mind.

"Puriri use Disable!"

"Wigglytuff!"

Puriri stared hard at the Gyarados as she released blue rings at it. The Gyarados froze for a second, confused that nothing had happened. He opened his mouth to fire the Beam he'd been charging. I waited with my fingers crossed…

Nothing came out of Gyarados' mouth. "Yeah! Good job Puriri!"

"Wiggly!" Puriri wiggled happily in my arms as I hugged her before setting her down.

"Gyara-!"

Finding out that he could no longer shoot Hyper Beams at us, the Gyarados seemed extremely mad. He began to thrash his whole body, especially his tail, sending a series of huge waves at us.

"Oh crap…"

Green's P.O.V.

I followed Scizor's fast-moving figure as he moved rapidly through the dense maze of a forest. I didn't question where he was going or what he was looking for; if Scizor was this focused, it was definitely something important.

"Scizor."

I saw Scizor in front of me push through some thick brush and disappear from my sight. I followed, ignoring the small thorns that tore at my sleeves. Looking up, a strange sight met my eyes.

Scizor was just a few feet away from me in a battle stance, while Blue was next to a large boulder with her Wigglytuff by her side. They were facing a large Gyarados that looked enraged. The large serpant pokemon roared furiously at Blue.

"Scizor." Without waiting for a command from me, Scizor began to fly around the Gyrados quickly, confusing him. The Gyrados snapped at Scizor who dodged before coming in close and cutting slashes along the Gyrados' body.

"Gyar…" With one last roar of defiance, the Gyarados crashed into the water, sending a huge wave over Blue, Puriri, Scizor, and me.

"Waagh-!"

Blue was now looking like a pretty sorry sight, light brown hair that was darkened by the water was now plastered to her face, teeth chattering from cold, and as for her uniform…

Blue's P.O.V.

I stared in disbelief as Gyarados fell back into the river after getting beat up by Scizor. Then I realized that the massive weight of the blue Pokemon had caused yet another wave, this time, the largest one of them all.

"Oh crap…"

Gallon after gallon of water washed over me as I scrunched my eyes close and held my breath. After what felt like an eternity, the water stopped coming. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Green who was standing next to the tree that hadn't been blown up. He was slightly less wet than I was since he had been farther away, but most of his clothes were now soaked and his hair was drooping down.

Green was staring at me, eyes rather wider than usual. Seeing me staring back at him seemed to snap him out of his little trance. He walked over to where I was.

"Here." In one smooth motion, Green took off his school blazer. I stared blankly at the dark black dripping jacket.

"Um…thanks, but that's wet too and I'm already wet," I said plainly, not wanting to offend him.

"Just take it." Green sounded a little exasperated and…embarrassed? He held out the blazer, face turned the other way. His face also seemed a little pink as he offered me the jacket.

I was confused by Green's behavior. Why would he offer me his wet blazer when I was already dripping wet? I mean, it was nice of him but his blazer was wet too. Then I realized something. I was wearing a white top as part of my uniform and I was wet. So water plus white clothes…

Blushing, I looked down. It turned out I was right. Showing clearly through my uniform was an outline of my bra. I glanced up at Green who seemed to notice my realization since his blush deepened. I swallowed hard, snatching the jacket from Green's hand.

"Thanks." I nodded stiffly to Green as I slipped on the blazer. The blazer was too big for me and the sleeves dripped water as I stood their foolishly. Green and I stood there in an awkward silence. I chewed on my lip, trying to think of a way to break the silence.

"Yeah…so thanks for the jacket…" Green nodded. "…pervert."

Green's head turned so fast, I thought he might get a whiplash. The expression on his face made me want to laugh, but I kept my own face perfectly smooth and expressionless.

"I'm not a pervert." Green glared at me as he spoke.

I rolled my eyes mockingly as I walked over to something gleaming on the ground. Bending over slowly and deliberately, I picked it up. It was a Gyarados' scale. Turning around, I smirked at Green who had turned even redder from my last action.

"I got the scale. Let's go back." I began walking back toward the school. Green stood there gaping after me. I looked back. "Well? Hurry up…pervert."

Green's blush intensified. "I'm not a pervert," he said stiffly, walking over. I nodded slowly.

"Sure…then why are you blushing so hard?" I looked sideways to see Green's reaction.

He turned even redder at my words. "I'm not blushing…pesky woman."

I smiled to myself as we walked back, Puriri and Scizor following close behind. Blue-1, Green-0.

Crystal's P.O.V.

'Where the heck is that fool?'

I sighed, tapping my foot impatiently on the ground. I was in a pretty bad mood today due to Professor Rowan's English test. I had gotten a 98%! A 98 due to a careless mistake! I groaned at the thought of it again, closing my eyes and rubbing my temples in frustration.

"Boo."

"Ah-!" I jumped backwards in shock, before looking up to glare at the person before me.

Gold stood in front of me, his ever present grin on his face and his backpack hanging on one shoulder loosely.

"Scared you, didn't I?"

I stood up straight, dusting off my skirt before answering. "No. I was just…startled, that's all."

Gold's expression told me he obviously didn't believe me. I glared and said, "Let's just start the lesson. Did you bring your pokemon?" Gold nodded. "Alright, let them out."

"Come on out guys!" Gold tossed out six pokeballs. Out popped Typhlosion, a Politoed, a Sudowoodo, a Pichu, a Sunflora, and of course, Aipom. All of them roared, grunted, or made some type of noise as they came out, happy to be released from their balls temporarily.

I walked up to them to examine Gold's pokemon closer. All of them looked wary, except Aipom who was busy playing in a pile of leaves.

"Guys, this is Crys. She's going to show me how to catch Pokemon; even though I know how to already," Gold said to his team.

I rolled my eyes at his last statement and continued my examination. Surprisingly, all of Gold's pokemon seemed to be in good shape.

"Okay, first thing you have to learn are moves that can help weaken your foe or keep them in place so it's easier to catch them," I explained to Gold. He looked at me with a look of slight confusion. I pointed to Pichu. "For instance, you can use Pichu for his static ability. Or you could use Sunflora's GrassWhistle to make other Pokemon fall asleep."

Gold nodded with his mouth in an 'oh' shape. I nodded slowly turning away and pointing at a Kakuna that was up in a nearby tree. Gold looked up and nodded.

"Aitaro, run up that tree and knock down that Kakuna!"

"Aii?" The little monkey popped out of the pile of leaves he'd been playing in and scurried up the tree, knocking the Kakuna to the ground. It opened its eyes, startled, but not hurt too badly.

"Suntaro use GrassWhistle!"

A beautiful melody began and I quickly cupped my ears with my hands, gesturing to Gold to do the same. Unfortunately, all of Gold's Pokemon (except Aitaro who was up in the tree) also fell asleep as Suntaro finished her song.

"Now Ataro, use Scratch!"

"Aipom!" The monkey leaped down from the tree, landing neatly next to Kakuna before using his sharp claws to scratch it furiously. The Kakuna winced but didn't wake up.

"Now Gold, throw the Pokeball! Aim for the top of its head!"

Gold threw the Pokeball at the Kakuna. It flew through the air, hitting the Kakuna in the center of its body. Immediately the ball sucked in the Kakuna. It shook once…twice…then, the Kakuna popped back out, blinking its eyes sleepily.

"Urgh! Why didn't it work?" Gold yelled.

"Well, you didn't hit its striking point for one thing," I said.

"I can't aim well when I throw the stupid pokeball!"

I stared at Gold, realizing what he said did have a point. I couldn't throw a Pokeball to save my life. I could only kick them when I caught Pokemon.

"I think…I think you need to find your own way of catching a Pokemon," I said slowly.

Gold gave me a look of disbelief. "Isn't that your job to teach me that?"

I shrugged. "What I mean is you have to find your own style of catching. I can't throw Pokeballs either, I have to kick them."

"So you want me to…kick them?" Gold asked dubiously.

I shook my head, opening my mouth to explain. Suddenly an angry buzz interrupted me. I turned and saw a swarm of angry Beedrill staring at us, stingers raised, ready to attack. I realized that the Kakuna must be part of their family and us injuring it must have enraged them very much.

"Oh shit. Run!" Gold quickly returned all his Pokemon to their balls and grabbed my hand, pulling me as he ran. The Beedrill buzzed as they took up the chase.

"Where are we going?" I panted.

"Who cares? Just keep running!"

We kept running as the Beedrill kept chasing us. I could almost feel their stingers at the back of my head as the buzzing got louder. Suddenly Gold stopped. I stopped too realizing we'd hit a dead end. We were facing a large wall of the side of a cliff and were surrounded by trees on both sides with the Beedrill right behind us.

Gold stood protectively in front of me. "Hey Crys, I'll distract them and you run, 'k?"

"What?!? Are you crazy? You'll be killed!" I stared at the back of Gold's head as the buzzing came closer.

Gold turned slightly so I could see the side of his face. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Still, I wouldn't do this for anyone you know."

I blushed and looked down. "Thanks I guess…idiot."

Gold grinned. "Geez, I sacrifice myself for you and you still call me names. You sure are harsh super-serious gal."

I bit my lip, unable to think of anything to say. I spotted the Beedrill coming closer. "I can't even use Arckee or Mega here…it's too small…and Chumee and the others are back at the lab," I muttered.

Suddenly, Gold perked up. "That's it!"

I looked at him in confusion. "What's it?"

Gold smirked. "You'll see." He swung his backpack around and pulled some things out. I glanced nervously from Gold to the fast approaching swarm.

"Bee!"

My head snapped up in surprise as the first Beedrill reached us, with the rest right behind it. I flinched, waiting for it to attack.

"Go Ataro!"

Looking up in shock and surprise, I saw Gold hit something round with a billiard cue. It hit the first Beedrill and ricocheted off it, hitting the other Beedrill like a pinball. As it hit the last Beedrill, a shape in the form of a small purple monkey came out of it. I realized the round thing had been a Pokeball.

"Aipom!"

"Use Screech and then use Swift!"

Ataro cried out in a shrill voice, causing the Beedrill to falter for a second, defense lowered. Then he spun around as he came down, shooting stars everywhere.

"Bee-!" The Beedrill were pelted with stars as they flew off quickly. Ataro landed on his tail, clapping his paws happily. "Ai-aipom!"

I shook my head in amazement at what had just happened. Finally, I spoke. "I guess you've got your own style now."

Gold looked back at me in surprise. Then he grinned. "Guess so."

We watched Ataro for a few seconds before I suddenly realized we were still holding hands. "Ah-!" I shook my hand free and looked away.

"Huh?" Gold looked down to see what I had been so startled about. Then he laughed. "What? Are you afraid I've got germs?"

"N-no! I just don't want to hold hands with such an idiot!"

Gold smirked at me. "Whatever you say Ms. Serious. Let's go back." He returned Ataro and turned to me.

I quickly ran up to him as we walked back slowly towards the school with our hands touching occasionally as we walked.

A/N: Yeah...sorry about the possible OOC (I'm not sure, might have some, but maybe it's just me...) and how there isn't as much shippy-ness. I'll try to do better next time! Also, I apologize for so many battle scenes (I'm not too good with battles, so please excuse the poorly written battles...) Anyways, please be kind and leave a review! (I'll do my best to write a better ch. next time!)
