First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELY ONES!
Secondly, I want to apologise. I feel not in sync with the storyline and I felt that my writing is becoming worse. I am really worried that I have been writing some characters weirdly and I apologise if I do.
This story has been on for almost two years and I really hope to finish it.
I will confess and admit that I've lost some motivation for writing this plot but I will keep going. I promise.
Now, this chapter, (heads up) is going to be quite meh because this is not my usual moment-filled chapter but more like a, chronology chapter (my definition lol). I still hope you'll enjoy this chapter and leave reviews so I know how to improve!
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.
[Narrator's P.O.V]
It was the end of the second week the Fiery 5ever girls have been out to shame Blue.
For the record, they humiliated her 9 times including the weekends.
Blue rubbed her temples as she walked back to the apartment sector after having to face the 5 girls again.
When she entered the apartment living room, she placed her books on the coffee table and threw herself on the sofa.
"Let me guess, another face off with the fan bitches." Green, who was on an armchair, spoke to Blue.
Blue yelped and jumped. She clutched her chest and panted. She did not know Green was there. "Green!" Blue narrowed her eyes at Green, whose presence shocked her.
"All of us are home. Our assignment starts tomorrow, remember?" Green told Blue, as if reading her mind. She sighed in relief. "That's 5 days of not seeing their faces!" Blue said and threw her hands up in the air.
"Why don't you retaliate or argue back?" Green queried. He thought that it was Blue's style to argue on the spot and try to humiliate them back.
"I would argue back and I also want to. But then, I would be stooping down to their level. That's not worth it." Blue said.
"And since you know I'm a Blackthorn, you know I have 'royal' blood, so I ain't nothing like them bitches." Blue said. "You? Royal?" Green raised an eyebrow.
"Oh shut up!" Blue said and leaned back into the sofa.
Green smiled a little before tossing the printed material in his hand to Blue. "Ouch!" Blue cried out as the printed material hit her in the chest.
"Don't you know how painful it can be to be hit in that area?!" Blue half yelled at Green as she got up. "I did not need to know that."
"You do actually, when you and your girlfriend or wife get on a bed together-" Blue absent-mindedly said out loud but Green tossed a pillow in her face, shutting her up.
'How could she say that?' Green thought as he forced himself not to have dirty thoughts.
"Aww...Greenie, are you shy talking about sex?" Blue teased before laughing. "Pesky woman, you aren't even 18 yet." Green reasoned to Blue to cover up.
"Did you forget who I am once again?" Blue said with a smirk. "Shut up." It was Green's turn to tell her to 'Shut up'
'It takes two to play a game.' Blue thought as she continued to lie on the sofa. "Read the material, woman. You're the only one who hasn't read it." Green said to her.
"Really?!" Blue said and sat up. "Thanks for interrupting my short rest." Blue told Green sarcastically and got up and walked up to her room.
As weird as it sounds, Green couldn't help but follow Blue's figure as she walked up to her room.
"Damn it, Green." Green muttered to himself. 'Control you f*cking hormones. You cannot and will not be attracted to her.' Green mentally slapped himself.
As soon Blue was sure she was out of Green's vision, Blue stopped walking and looked back. "Why does he seem so flustered today?" Blue muttered to herself and shrugged.
'Ahh...he was so cute when he told me to 'shut up'. ' Blue fangirled mentally as she made her way to her room with the mission material in hand.
Eevee looked at Blue curiously as she walked in. "Hello, Eevee." Blue placed the mission material on the edge of her bed and picked up Eevee. "Why don't you wanna evolve, little buddy?"Blue asked as she cuddled Eevee.
The Eevee cocked its head to the side in reply. Blue chuckled before putting Eevee down. Eevee snuggled against Blue's leg before running off to find Green.
"Why do I feel like I've changed over the course of 3 months here at Kanto College?" Blue said as realization strucked her. "I wonder what more is going to change." Blue muttered to herself before putting on her glasses to read the mission material.
{Saturday Morning}
The 8 dex holders arrived at Vermilion port early in the morning in comfortable clothing.
"Someone tell me, how is being in that skirt comfortable?" Sapphire raised an eyebrow as she stared at Blue's red skirt.
"It's easy to move around in." Blue teplied Sapphire and laughed. The 8 dex holders were waiting for Karen, Will, Cyan and Steven.
"Why are Cyan and Steven coming again?" Red asked Green for the third time that morning.
"Cyan and Steven are more familiar when it comes to navigating around Hoenn." Green explained after face palming.
"I'm a Cyeven shipper." Sapphire said to the other 7 dex holders. "Didn't know you like shipping, Sapphire." Gold told Sapphire.
"I didn't know too but Steven and Cyan are so adorable together." Sapphire laughed.
When 4 figures approached the 8 dex holders, they bowed slightly. "Board the ship, dex holders!" Steven said and all 12 got onto the ship to Hoenn.
For once, the cabin pairings weren't based on the usual boy-girl pairings. "Oh my, at least I don't have to see Green." Blue said and hopped on the bed.
Yellow laughed. "Do you want to stay with Red?" Blue smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Not so loud!" Yellow waved her hands wildly to Blue. Blue laughed as Yellow's face went slightly red.
"Red and I are comfortable but awkward with each other." Yellow told Blue honestly before asking Blue, "Is that weird?"
"Not really" Blue told Yellow. 'That's because you two like each other.' Blue thought mentally, careful to not say it out loud.
- Cyan's and Steven's Cabin -
"Cyan, have you narrowed down the locations of the flowers?" Karen spoke to Cyan over the phone.
"Steven and I are still currently working on it." Cyan told Karen. "We've found the location for the flower at Mt. Chimney. We'll send the location to you via email. We'll keep you updated." Cyan told Karen before hanging out.
Steven was on an armchair while Cyan sat on the bed with her laptop out. Cyan tried to stretch her legs but only clicks from her bones were heard.
"I'm stiff as a rock." Cyan laugh. "It's okay, I like rocks." Steven said. "Can you not?" Cyan laughed as she stretched the other side.
"I hope we can get the flowers quickly. I have loads of Eevee assignments to grade." Cyan told Steven. "Ditto, I have loads of Geography essays to mark." Steven said.
"We are so young, but yet, We've got so much stuff to do." Steven told Cyan. "Agreed." Cyan laughed.
To Cyan, talking to Steven isn't the easiest thing ever. That because, talking to Steven is second nature.
"You know, to be honest, I feel so attached to you." Steven told Cyan honestly. "Ditto, I don't know what I'll do without you. I would have gone crazy." Cyan laughed.
"Here's to many more years of friendship!" Cyan raised her water bottle. Steven followed along with a smile, but deep inside, he knew that his feeling for Cyan were changing.
Cyan knew that it wasn't long before she started seeing Steven as someone more than just a friend. 'I can't even not talk to Steven for a day.' Cyan thought as she pretended to be absorbed in triangulating the locations of the flowers.
- Karen and Will's Cabin. -
As soon and Karen put down the telephone, she looked at Will before saying, "Is it me, or is Cyan and Steven getting romantically closer to each other?"
"They definitely are, Karen." Will replied, nodding his head, "Come one, Karen, we've been trained to detect relationship statuses and identify the level of closeness people in the relationship are." Will reasoned to Karen.
Karen smacked her head while saying, "Right. Masked Children."
Will suddenly flashed a look of uncertainty, which Karen's eyes did not miss. "Out with it, Will." Karen told Will.
"Remember, there was this dude that wasn't in pairs like us, anpther two, Blue and Silver?" Will started to ask Karen. Karen paused to think and nodded her head.
"I kinda think, he had designs on Blue." Will said to Karen. "Reason why I'm telling this, it's because I have a strong feeling about that." Will told Karen.
Karen looked at Will and she could sense the fear and restlessness Will had about the feeling.
"Boy, I hope you are not right." Karen said, offering a glass of water to Will. "I hope I am not right too." Will said after he drank the water.
'But what are the chances of me not being right? I'm a Psychic after all.' Will thought mentally and sighed.
To Will, the most painful thing about being a Psychic, is to have strange and uncertain feelings that can cause him to not sleep at all.
'If he wasn't a Psychic, he wouldn't have to wear that mask.' Karen thought as she opened her email to see the location.
{ A few hours later }
The S. S. Anne was still quite a distance away from Hoenn.
Most of the dex holders, Cyan, Karen, Will and Steven were taking a nap.
Only Crystal and Gold were awake.
"Eurgh!" Crystal yelled as she made a beeline for the toilet beside her cabin. Gold looked at Crystal again and sighed.
Crystal was the reason Gold could not get any shut eye. Her pukings prevented him from catching a nap.
Gold stood up and followed Crystal to the toilet who was still facing the toilet bowl but nothing came out.
"Chris, you've puked out everything you ate, which is both breakfast and lunch." Gold told Crystal with a 'duh' look to counter Crystal's confused face.
Crystal walked out of the bathroom and was about to slip but Gold caught her and stabilized her.
'Why am I always, always falling when I'm around Gold?!' Crystal thought and she tried to react naturally. "Thanks, Gold." Crystal said and gave a weak smile.
Gold gave his usual smirk-grin and helped Crystal out of the toilet.
"You're like a pregnant woman dealing with morning sickness." Gold cracked a joke, only to be hit in the chest by Crystal (quite gently due to Crystal being so weak).
"It's sea-sickness. My sea-sickness only gets worse the longer I'm away from land." Crystal explains as Gold helped her to her bed.
"You should get some sleep." Gold told Crystal. He heard that sleeping would prevent one from feeling the effects of being sea-sick.
"I tried. But whenever I'm about to sleep, I feel like vomiting." Crystal explained. She felt like a child now, vulnerable and worried. And she had to show to child side of her to Gold.
Gold paused and thought hard. Seconds later, he sat on Crystal's bed, opposite her. Crystal forced herself to not jerk back.
"Let's have a staring competition."
Crystal looked at Gold in disbelief. "Dude, Gold! I'm here trying to not puke but there you are, suggesting a staring competition?!" Crystal inched her face closer to Gold in annoyance.
"If we focus our eyes on each other, you might not feel the sea anymore." Gold explained to Crystal. Crystal raised an eyebrow before thinking 'That might actually work..'
"Fine, let's give it a try." Crystal said and faced directly opposite of him.
"Prepared to be lost in my eyes." Gold teased Crystal and Crystal whacked him lightly, a faint tinge of pink appearing on her face. "You will be the one who will lose." Crystal retorted and the started staring at each other.
Gold's trick work.
Crystal's eyes became tired from the staring and she leaned back on her bed for a nap.
"Thanks Gold." Crystal gave a smile as she drifted off to sleep.
After Gold waited for a few minutes, he gave Crystal's hand a light squeeze before jumping over to his bed to sleep. 'Finally.' Gold thought before going into subconsciousness.
- Hoenn, Lilycove City -
After the dex holders and the 4 Elites alighted the ship, it was already night.
"You eight will stay in that hotel. The four of us," Steven informed the dex holders while gesturing to the four elites there, "Will stay at Mosdeep City, my place."
The Dex holders nodded. "We'll meet here tomorrow morning." Karen told them. The Elites waited for the dex holders to go into the hotel before surfing towards Mosdeep.
The Elites had booked two large rooms for them, one for the girls, one for the guys.
The dex holders turn in quickly, knowing the next few days will be long and hard.
The next morning, the dex holders began the search of the flowers.
"Red, Crystal, Gold, Yellow and Will, you'll follow me to Mt. Chimney." Karen told them the next morning.
"The rest will follow Cyan and Steven to the Seafloor Cavern." Will filled in for Karen.
"The flower at Mt. Chimney should be easier to find so, in the event if the Mt. Chimney team has already found the flower, you can join us." Cyan said to the Mt. Chimney team.
The search for the two rare flowers begin.
- Seafloor Cavern -
Blue, Ruby, Sapphire and Green were looking wildly for the flower.
"There are similar flowers every where!" Sapphire said.
"And wild pokemon attacking makes it harder." Blue said as a few Chinchou started attacking her and Blastoise.
"Rapid spin each of them!" Blue pointed to each Chinchou.
"If we can't find it in 3 hours time, resurface. Staying underwater for too long has weird and quite severe impacts on the body." Steven told them.
The same situation was happening at Mt. Chimney.
- Mt. Chimney -
"Slowking! Protect!" Will cried out to his Slowking, which set up and large barrier.
The lava bounced off the protect layer.
"Why didn't I check the vulcanicity and the plate movements?!" Karen chided herself as her Houndooms went to locate the flower.
This obviously showed that one day wasn't enough to find the flowers.
- 2 days later -
The dex holders were at the hotel room.
"WE MANAGED TO FIND THE FLOWER!" Sapphire cried excited and jumped on her bed.
"Means it's back to reality tomorrow." Blue sighed and buried her head in the pillow.
"Oh guys, the examination results were released today evening." Crystal said as she checked her pokegear for updates.
"The examination results?!" All the other three girls cried out, loud enough for the boys room to hear.
"Examination results?!" Red said as he and the other male dex holders popped their heads into their room.
"Yeah!" Crystal, who was the most calm, told them. None of the dex holders went to Crystal. They were a little worried about their results.
"Only the ranking results are shown." Crystal said.
"Forget it, guys." Gold said. "Let's go for food and some fun now before we face reality." Gold continued.
Blue hopped off her bed and grabbed her day pack. "Great idea! Let's go!" Blue said and pushed the four male dex holders out of the door.
"Crystal, don't read any of it!" Sapphire told Crystal as she pulled Yellow and Crystal out of the door.
- Kanto College, the next day -
The 8 dex holders walked through the hallway amd people were whispering as soon as the dex holders were seen.
They hurriedly went to the notice board.
Blue heaved a sigh before searching for her name. "18th place." Blue had a small smile. 'Not too shabby for someone who just came.' Blue thought as she started scanning for Green's name.
Green Oak | 6th
Blue's jaw dropped. She knew he was good but he's that good?
"Oh look Green, you deproved by 2 places." Red said. "Shut it, Red. Good job in improving." Green said.
Red gave a peace sign. Red was the 48th place in their cohort.
Yellow was 60th second place out of the 200 hundred students in their batch. She heaved a sigh of relief.
The other 4 junior dex holders looked quite relived too. Just then, the bell rang and the dex holders quickly head for their classes.
"You're not bad." Green casually said as they were running for class. "I knew you were good, but I didn't know you were that good." Blue said and laughed.
"I owe it to you. Thanks for your help in Pokemon evolution." Green said. "No problem." Blue said with a smirk.
That's it for today's chapter! I hope I will update soon so stay tuned! Leave a review!
