AN= Hello there my fellow readers. I was reading the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire pokemon adventures manga and I couldn't help but look at the difference between the drawings then and now. (Steven looks so much hotter now haha). For all them Franticshippers, be sure to read it because it's so cute.
And I still hope my shippings get together. Especially Green and Blue. THEY NEED MORE MOMENTS.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon. If I did, Red and Yellow would be together and even engaged now.
[Narrator's P.O.V]
"So when are we getting our examination results?" Blue asked Green as they walked down the hallway. Classes were over for the day.
"2 weeks from now." Green said as he continued to look forward. As he walked, Green extended out his fist and many people bumped it.
By now, Blue knows Green is a popular sports player and a really hot and handsome guy in the eyes of everyone.
As much as Blue hated the attention she received (for being constantly around Green), it was amusing to see the different kind of looks people throw at her when they see her with her popular friends.
Blue and Green caught up with Yellow and Red, who had faces of relief. "You two seem relieved. Any great news?" Blue asked as some fangirls 'melted' at the sight of Green Oak.
"We managed to get a 'B' grade for Agatha's assignment." Yellow said happily. "The best both she and I ever got." Red said proudly. "Great job, friends!" Blue said and gave Red and Yellow a pat on their backs.
The 4 headed down the stairs and were soon joined by the other four junior pokedex holders. "How were classes today?" Blue asked the other 4.
"Bad." came from Crystal
"Crazy." came from Gold.
"Delirious" came from Ruby (sarcastically)
"Extremely F-ed" came from Sapphire, who tried not to curse.
"Were your classes that bad?" Red asked as they noted the 4 juniors choice of words. "Wow, in alphabetical order. Good chemistry." Blue commented as she noted the B, C, D, E and F from the 4 younger dex holders.
"The exams are over and just a week after that, they are piling work on us. Again." Crystal said and Yellow, Blue and Sapphire could tell, Crystal was starting to stretch beyond her work limit.
"And teachers seemed to be more harsh on us." Ruby said and continued, "Wild girl got ticked off because she was shaking her leg."
"Hey! Don't call me 'Wild girl'. I'm not a pokemon. And yes, Elite Drake scolded me because I was shaking my leg." Sapphire refuted and agreed and threw her hands up in disbelief.
"Well, it's the streaming year again for Crystal and Gold, while Ruby and Sapphire have a national exam at the end of the next semester they have to take before they can go on studying next year in this school." Yellow said.
"That explains why the teachers are getting more uptight with you guys." Green said.
"Alright enough about streaming, exams and teachers. Let's get food! I'm famished." Sapphire said. They automatically headed for the school's mall to find a place to eat.
As the days go by, they started becoming closer, friendlier and more empathetic towards each other.
"I really like it when the 8 of them walk together to go for a meal." Karen told Will as they were heading back to the staff room. "Indeed. Blue seems happy and that's what she deserves." The psychic boy nodded in agreement with Karen.
"After all, she suffered the most during our masked children days." Karen continued.
"Honestly speaking, all 6 of us gained a lot when we were there, as ironic as it sounds." Will said. "We actually did. We wouldn't be elites if we weren't trained that harshly by Pryce." Karen said.
'So Blue was an Mask child as well?' Cyan thought as she overheard Karen and Will as Cyan was checking the schedule board. 'That would make Blue even more special.'
After lunch, Crystal excused herself from the other 7 pokedex holders and teleported herself to the apartment to get her resources for Professor Elm's work.
"I'll meet you guys back at the apartment. I've gotta find someone first." Gold took a bicycle and cycled off.
Gold quickly cycled to Professor Elm's lab.
"Ah, nephew Gold, what a pleasant surprise!" Professor Elm said as Gold opened to lab door.
"Hello, uncle Elm... I have a request of you. Can you lighten Crystal's workload and tell Professor Oak to cut her some slack?" Gold asked.
"Why, my boy? Crystal's not complaining at all." Professor Elm cocked his head to the side curiously. "Crystal's too stubborn to acknowledge that she won't be able to handle her workload."
"Gold, it's nice of you to ask me this but how can I do that? It's Crystal's decision and we're almost there to completing a set data!" Professor Elm said, "You'd be doing Crystal a favour by studying hard."
Gold was annoyed at his uncle. "I'll go now." Gold said and walked briskly out. As he opened the lab door, Crystal was there and her face was shocked. "Gold, what are you doing here?"
"Paying my uncle a visit." Gold said, trying to keep his tone of speech in check. "I'll see you later."
Crystal sighed as she once thought of all of the work she had and began working on it immediately. Professor Elm couldn't help but ponder on Gold's request. 'Why didn't I consider about my workers' well being? My other few assistant have been working their butts off too...'
Professor Elm sighed but soon smiled at how thoughtful Gold has become. 'He's definitely growing as a person.'
As soon as Gold returned to the apartment, he flopped himself on the sofa. "What's wrong, Gold?" Ruby said as he looked up from his book. "Nah, it's nothing. The frustration will be gone soon." Gold replied.
"Heads up, Sapphire's coming and your scar is exposed." Gold said lazily and Ruby panicked and pulled his hat down. Sapphire went straight for the kitchen, getting a fruit before joining Gold and Ruby. "Hello there Gold and Ruby. Ruby, you aren't doing knitting or sewing for once."
"Well, a student's main job is to study." Ruby said and shrugged. "And also, being pokedex holders, we have more work to do." Gold said.
"I totally forgot about the pokedex." Sapphire said and face-palmed. "Don't worry, most of us did forget about it." Gold said. Just then, Sapphire's PokeNav beeped. "I wonder what papa wants to see me about." Sapphire said and left the apartment.
"I don't get why you can't tell Sapphire about that scar." Gold said. "I feel there's something about Sapphire that's related to my forehead scar." Ruby said.
"I don't see the link." Gold said.
"I got this scar trying to protect someone. As kids then, I couldn't exactly remember her name and all. But, my gut feeling is hinting to me that I might have protected Sapphire back then." Ruby said.
"Why don't you tell her then?" Gold said. "I can't. Not now." Ruby said. Gold peered at Ruby with a raised eyebrow. "You are one funny guy." Gold said.
- The forest -
Blue carefully walked into the forest and sat down a few feet away from the deadly bush. She stayed there, trying to think hard of it's real location. "Where is it found?" Blue talked to herself as she stared at the bush.
As Blue sat there, her desperation increased as she heard the growing of the roots. "What are you doing here, Blue?" Yellow and Green emerged from the other side of the forest.
"I'm trying to see if the bush triggers anything in my mind about this flower bush." Blue answered and she dusted herself as she got up from her seat. "What brings the two of you here?" Blue asked inquisitively.
"Trying to collect some samples." Green said. "And sketching the flower." Yellow said. Blue immediately jumped towards Green. "No! Don't touch it."Blue said to Green, stopping him.
"Trying to extract something from it releases venom that can cause death." Blue said, her eyes getting desperate. Green could not ignore the concern and worry in Blue's eyes. "What are we going to do about it then?"
"Cut off a leaf. It has to be done quickly." Yellow said and Blue and Green turned to Yellow. "That's probably the only way to do it."
Green called out his Scizor. "Scizor, swiftly cut of the leaf and dropped it in this glass case." Scizor did as he was told.
Blue heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down. "The last time someone tried to extract a sample using a needle died in within minutes. Definitely not a pretty sight to see."
"Blue, what did you see back then?" Yellow asked. "Everything evil organisations or organisations with a wrong cause do." Blue said and sighed. "Can you imagine how traumatizing it can be for kids to watch it?"
"Kids?!" Yellow dropped her pencil. "Yes, kids..." Blue said sadly and shook off the thought. Yellow and Green exchanged glances. "Do you know the Masked Children? Do you remember the catastrophe that took place 13 years ago at Pallet town?" Blue asked without hesitance this time.
Green and Yellow nodded. "I was a Masked Child. I got kidnapped by Ho-oh and underwent training; physical, emotional and academic training, with other children such as Will and Karen of the elites. I managed to escape with my young cousin 4 years ago and found my brother."
"The other masked children left after Pryce got stuck in time. There, that should explain my dark past." Blue said and turned to them who's mouth were hanging. "It does feel good to let it out." Blue said and smiled.
"If that changes your opinion about me, it can't be helped then." Blue said a sad smile appearing on her face.
Green and Yellow looked at Blue and could tell it had been bothering her since day 1 at her school. Yellow stood up and hugged Blue. "Your past doesn't define you. Your present actions do." Yellow said and Blue started to tear up.
"Thank you" Blue said, smiling through the tears that fell.
"You guys now know where I get my knowledge and expertise already." Blue said and laughed. "Now, we need to stop this flower from growing."
Yellow and Green gave small smiles and nodded.
'She's revealing more about herself. She's starting to let go. It's nice to see that.' Green thought as they headed out of the forest.
"We have to tell this to the elites. Not the professors yet." Blue said. "I thought you didn't want to tell the other elites?" Yellow asked.
"Since you guys know that Karen and Will were part of the masked children as well, they might be able to help." Blue offered.
"Green, can you do me a favor?" Blue requested and Green turned to Blue with a raised eyebrow. "Can you help me share my past to the other pokedex holders?" Blue asked with a slight smirk.
"What are trying to do?"
"Nothing. Just help me." Blue winked and walked on. "Do it for her sake." Yellow said and followed behind Blue.
Green rolled his eyes, said 'Pesky girl' before walking on.
- Back at the apartments -
The other 5 dex holders dropped their jaws once Green told what Blue had told him and Yellow in the forest.
"Rest assured, guys. I'm far away from that life." Blue said, now a little worried about their reaction. "It's not that but...it must have been one hectic and chaotic childhood." Red said.
"Yeah, it was. There was another child who got kidnapped by Pryce at the age of barely 2 years old."
"WHAT?! 2 YEARS OLD? THAT'S CRAZY!" Gold said and jumped up. "He grew up with a lot of trauma but he couldn't show it and he learnt to hide it well. It's been a while since I last contacted him." Blue said.
"Enough about my past for now. We need to report this flower bush to the elites soon." Blue said and was about to stand up when Professor Oak's face appeared on their TV screen.
"Hello pokedex holders! Remember about the meeting I told you that we're having after your exams? You guys need not attend the meeting anymore because the meeting will be conducted during your class time and class time is more important than the meeting as of now. The elite trainers will give you info about the meeting. See you soon!" Professor Oak said in one breath and the TV screen went pitch black.
"Your grandfather could be a rapper." Gold joked. "Don't give him hope." Green said at Gold's sentence.
The other 6 laughed.
The elites (Cyan, Steven, Lance, Bruno, Drake, Glacia, Lorelei, Will and Karen) clapped as they were done with the set up of the drones. "That was work man."
"My cardio for the month." Lorelei said. The others laughed. "Maybe Lorelei should join the dex holders training so that she will get more cardio." Karen suggested and Lorelei gave a fake glare at Karen.
"Those dex holders are full of potential. They could be elites one day." Bruno said. "No doubt." Steven said.
"Honestly, I'm quite worried that the foreseen danger that might be related to our past!" Will said. All heads turned sharply to Will. "Are you sure?" Karen said. Will could detect the mild desperation in Karen's voice.
"That's my hunch." Will said. "I can't be fully sure yet."
"I guess that only means they need to have more training." Bruno said. "Another problem is the dex holder's studies. I'm more worried about the 4 younger ones most." Drake said.
"You're so worried that you've become so uptight on them. Can you believe he chided Sapphire because she was just shaking her leg?" Glacia said to the other elites. "Hey! It was distracting." Drake said.
"Who could believe the two are married? For 5 years already!" Steven said with a laugh. "Drake might look old but he can be like a child." Cyan said.
"I heard that Cyan!" Drake said and crossed his arms. "I'm kidding!" Cyan raised her arms in mock defense. "That was a good laugh. Now we have to get serious and try to get the dex holders stronger than they are now." The other elites nodded.
"The next training shall be in a week!" Lance announced. "Yes, Sir!" Cyan said and marched to her computer. "Isn't she cute?" Lance and the other elites whispered to Steven.
"What are you trying to get me to say?" Steven raised his eyebrow to the other elites and the elites grinned at him with raised eyebrows.
It wasn't easy for Blue to fall asleep now that she brought up her past.
Blue tossed and turned on her bed for the hundred time that night. Whenever she closed her eyes, the childhood torture started to creep in to haunt her. Blue sighed and walked to her balcony.
She sat down on the arm chair and gazed at the stars and the moon. It was a full moon and the moon glowed brightly. Even though it was dark, she could see the streams of water calmly flowing along.
Before she knew it, the nature had become her lullaby.
The next morning, when she woke up, she found a blanket covering her. 'Where did this come from?' Blue thought as she stirred from her sleep. She winced in pain as she stretch. "Back ache, neck ache, shoulder ache, butt ache." She said as she tried walking.
As the blanket fell of her, she looked at the connecting door and realized it was left ajar.
'Green, put this?' Blue thought as she tossed the blanket on her bed. She peeked at the connecting door and saw Green asleep. 'Don't jump to conclusions, Blue. You'll ask Green later.'
As she laid on her bed again, she could hear Green waking up. She heard him walking over to the connecting door and all of a sudden, Blue was slightly nervous.
Blue jumped as Green opened the door and Green could clearly see that Blue was awake. "Good morning. Were you up the whole night?" Blue asked as she tried to stand up.
"Of course, because someone wouldn't stop messing with her bed." Blue laughed as soon as she heard Green say that. "Did you put the blanket on me?" Blue asked as Green turned back to his room. Green gave a quick nod and headed back to his room quickly, so that Blue would not see him get red.
"Aww, Greenie, you're so nice. Thanks!" Blue said cheekily. Blue heard no answer from Green. She smiled and as she tried to walk, she winced again.
'Nice idea, Blue. To fall asleep on the armchair.' Blue thought as she went to take a shower.
That's chapter 21! Hope you enjoyed it and as usual, leave a review! (I love reviews.)
P.S I know Drake is supposed to be very very old but let's take it he is old, but not that old and Glacia is not that young. (I'm sorry if you guys don't like me shipping the elites together. Forgive me hoho)
See you soon!
