"GO….AWAY….."
Red shook nervously. "Uh….OZZO? What kind of Pokemon is THAT!?"
OZZO drove forward, scanning the shadow monster. "SCANNING, SCANNING, SCANNING-"
Sydney snorted. "Uh Will? How long is this gonna take?"
"Hey, be patient princess. This is will be worth it."
"SCANNING, SCANNING, SCANNING, SCAN-"
"I….SAID…..BE GONE FROM THIS PLACE!"
A weapon, made from shadow, flung itself from the ghost, striking OZZO and sending him spinning backwards.
"OW."
Finally the shadows formed, creating a ghostly vision of a Marowack, its bone flying back to its hand.
Lucina fluttered ahead of the team, determination set in her gaze. "Lost one. We are sorry for your pain. But we wish to destroy the one's up ahead. The ones who disturbed you."
"YOU MONSTERS WILL BE DESTROYED!"
Red sighed. "All right. Luca and Will, do your best to keep her distracted. I THINK you have type advantage? The rest of us need to continue onwards."
His team nodded. OZZO drove in a circle. "ANALYSIS COMPLETE. GHOST IS REVEALED TO BE A MAROWACK."
Will sighed. "We figured it out already bud. But keep trying."
Red rolled his eyes. "Luca, Will, attack, go!"
The Ivysaur and Wartortle fired attacks at the same time, striking the ghost, who wailed in anger. Red and the rest of his team ran up, desperate to escape the Marowack's wrath…

Ash and Tyrone sat in front of the unconscious light stone members, ready to defend them if they were attacked again. Ash was alert, his eyes flashing anywhere and everywhere. Tyrone was simply slumped over, groaning.
"This sucks!" The Nidoking moaned, bored out of his mind. "Screw this, let's go kick some ass upstairs!"
Ash rolled his eyes. "You'll be fine. We need to protect Misty and the others."
"Whatever. Of course YOU'D say that." Tyrone drawled.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Tyrone smirked at him. "Well, you're the new weak link, aren't you? Concerned about saving your own skin, aren't you?"
Ash rolled his eyes. "You know that's not true. I care about Red more than my own life."
Tyrone was unfazed. "Well maybe that's why you should focus on keeping yourself alive."
"What…?" Ash asked, caught completely off guard.
"You heard what I said. And I mean it. You saw Red after Hawkeye's death. It almost broke him. You are his favorite, and if you kick the bucket it will destroy him. And you aren't exactly the strongest on our team. You've long since reached your max potential. It all goes downhill from here."
Ash glared at him, his eyes had a look of pain in them. "Ash rolled his eyes. "You know that's not true. I care about Red more than my own life."
Tyrone was unfazed. "Well maybe that's why you should focus on keeping yourself alive."
"What…?" Ash asked, caught completely off guard.
"You heard what I said. And I mean it. You saw Red after Hawkeye's death. It almost broke him. You are his favorite, and if you kick the bucket it will destroy him. And you aren't exactly the strongest on our team. You've long since reached your max potential. It all goes downhill from here."
Ash glared at him and his eyes had a look of pain in them. "You don't think I know that!? I've been battling with that thought since the day I met Red. But I'm not going anywhere. I will drag myself out of the depths of the distortion world to protect him, from the enemy and from myself. You're a better battler then me; we both know that. But between the two of us, you're the weak one."
Tyrone barked a laugh. "HA! WEAKER THEN YOU!? I destroyed an ENTIRE army of Team ROCKET on my own!"
"And you've nearly destroyed US in the process! You're self-destructive, and that's not strong. You want to know what real strength is? It's about working THROUGH your weaknesses. It's about loyalty, and humility and love and teamwork! Everything Red strives for! It's about knowing to admit your flaws and weaknesses, and don't let them stop you, but to STRENGTHEN you. I was born a weak Pokemon, but FORCED myself to become a strong one. Strength ISN'T running RECKLESSLY INTO BATTLE, WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU DIED! YOU RUN AWAY, TYRONE, BY RUNNING FORWARD!"
Tyrone raised a fist with a roar. "DON'T YOU CARE CALL ME WEAK AFTER WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH! SAY ANOTHER WORD, AND I SWEAR RED WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER SEEING WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOU!"
Ash shook with fury, but his tone was steely calm. "Go ahead Tyrone. Prove. Me. Right."
Tyrone looked like he was gonna kill the Pikachu right then and there, but instead punched the wall with a shout of anguish. "RRRGH! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK-?"
He was interrupted by cackling, distorted and chaotic chattering that filled the room. The shadowy wisps returned, flying around in circles, spinning towards the two Pokemon.
"Hyah ha ha ha!" One of the Gastly cackled. "Weeeeee're back!"
Ash and Tyrone quickly went into a defensive position, but the ghosts had completely taken them by surprise. The second before the first of the Gastly collided with Tyrone, a pink barrier formed around him and Ash, acting as a bubble shield. The Gastly's that collided with the barrier hissed and turned to smoke.
Ash whirled around to see a Kadabra maintaining the barrier, its eyes glowing pink as it brandished its spoon. Its trainer walked into view behind him. It was Blue.
"Everyone go!"
He threw pokeballs, releasing his entire team. He barked "Eevee, come with me! Everyone else, take on the Gastly. We need to save Red from Team Rocket. Let's get to it."
Ash and Tyrone gaped as Blue ran off with Eevee as his team took on the Gastly, working in perfect synergy. Tyrone suddenly grimaced.
"Wait a minute….The Rockets are up there, then I'm definitely going!"
He immediately began to lumber towards the stairs, but Ash caught his tail, stopping him from moving.
"Ty, we need to stay put to protect Misty and the others! Why do you carry such a grudge against them anyway? What did they even do to you?" Ash asked as he tried to restrain the Nidoking.
Tyrone simply swung his tail to the side, throwing the Pikachu into the wall. Before he left, he muttered something under his breath.
"What they did to you is no concern of yours. But what they did do cannot be undone, and I will only be satisfied when every single one of them is dead."
He stomped up the stairs, leaving Ash alone, groaning in pain.
"Aww crap." Ash muttered as he hesitated, looking back at the unconscious light stone members. Finally, cursing, he sprinted after the Nidoking.
"Dammit, Tyrone, I swear if we die because of this I'll kill you!"
000
"Oh great, it's you again. Haven't you gotten the message that you can't beat us?"
These were the first words that Red spoke when he found Malcom at the top floor.
Jessie and James were there as well, glaring at him and holding a ball ready in their hands. Behind them, Mr. Fuji was tied up with a Cubone, both clearly unconscious. Only Malcolm grinned, an evil and psychotic one.
"Oh hi Red. You're arrogance has raised to new levels since our last meeting."
Red snapped his fingers. Sydney hissed, fire forming in her mouth. Dillan chuckled evilly. Lucina closed her eyes, as if she were concentrating. OZZO made a long beeping noise as he stared at the three team Rocket members.
"THREAT LEVEL 45%"
Red folded his arms. "Huh. That's higher then ususal."
"SARCASM DETECTED."
Malcolm's smile turned into a snarl. "Don't you DARE brush me off as weak! Kill him, now!"
He threw his Poke ball, revealing his Kanghaskhan, who roared in challenge. Jessie and James threw their own Poke balls, revealing the powerful Pokemon that their Ekans and Koffing had evolved into.
One, called Arbok, looked like a powerful cobra twice as large as its pre evolution. Weezing had grown in size and sprouted another, smaller head. It fired a sludge attack at OZZO, sending the Porygon reeling backwards.
"OW. 65% THREAT LEVEL!"
Red tipped his hat. "Sydney and Lucina, take down that Kanghaskhan. Dillan and OZZO you guys have the Weezing and Arbok!"
Dillan, cackling evilly, burrowed into the ground as OZZO drove forwards, shouting statistics. Sydney sprinted forwards towards the Kanghaskhan, but before she closed the distance Lucina's eyes glowed blue, a psychic aura surrounding the Kanghaskhan that made it grimace in pain. She threw it backwards, though she caught herself easily. Sydney was on her in an instant, slashing her claws across her beefy arms, managing to draw blood.
The Kanghaskhan roared in pain, punching the charmeleon in the stomach. Sydney hissed in pain, and the Kanghaskhan swung her tail, catching Sydney and knocking her aside.
Lucina descended, stretching her wings to use sleep powder, but the Kanghaskhan jumped in the air, clubbing the Butterfree over the head. She hit the ground hard and barely managed to roll aside to avoid the Kangaroo's stomp. She landed next to a groaning Sydney.
"Ooh, that's obnoxious."
Lucina's eyes glowed blue. "Hmm, this might be more difficult than I thought."
000
Luca and Will fired a razor leaf and water gun respectively. The Marowack flipped forward, dodging easily and vanishing
Will groaned. "Ooh, that's obnoxious."
Luca nodded in agreement. "Hmm, this might be more difficult than I thought."
Suddenly the Marowack materialized out of nowhere, slamming into Luca, who squealed in pain. It aimed its next strike at Will, who managed to duck. He spun down, tripping the ghost with his tail, before firing a water gun point blank into her face. It hissed in agony, and head-butted Will hard, knocking him off his feet. The Marowack roared.
"GO AWAY!"
"Yeah." Will growled as he rose, turning to face her, his shades now cracked. "Not happening."
He fired a water gun, but the Marowack deflected off with her bone easily. She kicked the Wartortle in the stomach, knocking him down, before swinging her club downwards aiming for Will's head…
The impact never happened. Vines wrapped around the Marowack's arms, restraining her. Luca shuddered with effort as he threw her into the wall in an explosion of dirt.
Will rose unsteadily. "Ugh. Thanks, Luca."
"Don't mention it. But uh, I think it's getting back up!"
Even as he spoke, the Marowack rose, snarling in fury. Luca gulped and fired a razor leaf, but the Marowack spun her bone in front of her, deflecting it easily. She sprung forward, closing the distance in a few short seconds and clubbed the Ivysaur over his head and kicked him to the side. She swung the bone towards Will, who managed to tuck into his shell at the last moment, protecting him from the pain.
He grit his teeth as the impact sent vibrations down his body. He managed to grab the bone, and the two struggled, trying to wrestle it out of the other's grip. Will suddenly let go, and the Marowack stumbled backwards, and Will used the opportunity to punch the ghost in the face.
"That was for the glasses!" He yelled as he shot a water gun, blasting her with water.
The Marowack moaned in pain….but kept coming. She aimed a quick jab at his stomach, causing him to double over and stop firing water. She grabbed him by the neck and held him in the air, slowly choking the Wartortle.
Will felt himself losing breath, and his vision blurring. The Marowack stared into him with its cold dead eyes.
"WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO TORMENT ME…? YOU WILL PAY FOR DEFILING THIS SACRED PLACE."
"Wasn't…us…trying….to….stop…it" Will managed to choke out, before her grip became tighter around his neck and preventing him from speaking.
"Enough!"
A razor leaf, much stronger than the previous ones shot towards the Marowack, who immediately dropped Will and tried to deflect them with her bone. The much more powerful razor leaf sliced through the bone like butter. Before the Marowack could react, 4 vines came out of nowhere, wrapping around her and pinning her to a wall.
The ground type struggled, but the vine's grip were like iron.
Luca walked into view behind Will, who had rolled over, retching.
And he had evolved.
His body was much bigger, and the flower on his back had blossomed. His face looked much fiercer and his fangs had shrunk, but had multiplied. He was now a Venusaur.
"Look, I understand that you are in pain. But we aren't the bad guys. My trainer is fighting them! Just calm down, we'll take care of it."
A Single tear dripped down from the heavily scarred Marowack's face. "My child….they…took him. Please…save…him."
"We will. I swear." Luca said lowly.
"Thank...you. Please….punish the trespassers…only then will I be…at…peace."
Slowly, the Marowack disappeared, its last tears dissolving into thin air.
Will coughed fitfully as he slowly rose, adjusting his cracked sunglasses. "Dang, Luca! You got huge!"
Luca's serious expression vanished instantly. "I know right!"
000
The battle at the top floor of the Pokemon tower raged on fiercely, the four pairs firing attacks at each other. The Arbok hissed as it slithered around, dodging Dillan's dig attacks and aiming vicious bite attacks of its own. The Weezing fired sludge bombs at OZZO, who used his newy learnes Psybeam move to counter them.
Sydney and Lucina weaved around the powerful Kanghaskhan narrowly avoiding his strikes. But they couldn't land a hit in either, and the normal type was slowly forcing them backwards.
Red shouted orders, but quickly faltered as Malcolm, Jessie, and James drew knives from their pockets.
Malcolm chuckled. "I've been waiting for this for a long time, boy."
Red gulped as he slowly stepped backwards, desperately trying to think of a plan as OZZO fired another Psybeam, this time aimed for the Arbok. The Arbok, caught off guard, hissed in pain as it shot through its body. Dillan was on it in an instant, ramming into it and bringing it down. Weezing gulped, aiming a sludge bomb, but Dillan dodged it easily, colliding with the poison type and dragging it down with him, cackling as he headbutted the gas Pokemon while it was as on the ground.
Sydney snarled as she unleahed a jet of fire at the Kanghaskhan, aiming for its head. The Kanghaskhan blocks it easily and swats her aside. Lucina flapped her wings and created a razor wind, but the Kanghaskhan simply barraled through it, slaming into her and knocking her forward. Lucina slowly rose, catching the sight of Red being pursued by the three Rockets.
"Red, no-!" But the Kanghaskhan grabbed her and threw her, sending her flying backward. She slid on the ground as the parent Pokemon loomed over her, prepared for the finishing move.
"Lucina!" Sydney shouted as she lunged forward, striking the Kanghaskhan in the back, who roared in pain. She swung her tail in an attempt to knock her off her feet, but the Charmeleon rolled to the side, standing between Lucina and the other Pokemon.
Sydney sent a fire ball from her tail towards the Kangaskhan, and she roared in pain, clutching her now burnt face, and lunging forwards. Sydney attempted to meet her in combat, but the Knseanghaskhan punched her in the jaw and kicked her in the stomach. She hit the ground hard, twitching. The Kanghaskhan aimed a punch, but Lucina teleported out of nowhere creating an instant barrier that blocked it. The Kanghaskhan grumbled, but continued to bash at it and slowly, it began to weaken.
Lucina's face was drenched with sweat as she struggled to maintain the barrier, Sydney lying face down and unmoving as cracks began to form in the barrier…
Malcolm chuckled coldly as he advanced towards Red, slashing his knife through the air. Jessie and James cracked whips behind them, giggling darkly.
"Malcolm will finally end our humiliation with this boy!" James shouted jovially, as Jessie snickered.
Malcolm, ignoring them, suddenly aimed a quick jab with his knife. Red ducked, and tried to run past him, but the enemy Rocket shoved him to the wall, pinning him. Malcolm's knife slowly descended downwards, aiming for the young boy's chest. Red thought fast, trying to distract the older man.
Dillan was too distracted by beating up the defenseless Weezing, But OZZO shot forward like a rocket. Before he could save his trainer however, Jessie released her last Pokemon, the Meowth, who scratched the Porygon across his face, making a gash in the metal. The two fought back and forth as Malcolm smirked. "No one to save you this time, Ketchum." He crowed.
Red, ignoring his fear, glared at Malcolm. "Why do you even hate me? You've done much worse to me then I have done to you." If he baited Malcolm, he might become recklessly angry and give Red an opportunity to escape. But Malcolm simply chuckled coldly.
a"Well, other than make me the laughing stock of Team Rocket, well I suppose I have a personal vendetta against you family. Your father…" his smile faded into look of pain. "…What he did cannot be forgiven, and I will not rest until all of the Ketchum bloodline is dead!"
"You're gonna have to wait a little longer then."
Malcolm whirled around, Red gasped as he saw Blue, smirking before punching Malcolm hard in the face. He released Red and grabbed his nose, howling in pain. Blue cracked his knuckles as his Eevee sprinted out from behind him. Tyrone and Ash at her heels. Red's eyes wide, tried to keep himself calm.
"I am so confused right now! What-"
Blue gave him a cocky smile. "Your Butterfree gave my Kadabra a psychic message that you were in danger. Don't worry about your unconscious friends; the rest of my team has handled it. Oh and your Ivysaur evolved by the way."
Red gaped at his friend, who simply winked. "Why not let me handle this one? I'm looking forward to a rematch with these guys."
Malcolm growled, but Jessie and James simply chortled. "Okay, twerp, ready for round three?" Jessie said, snapping her whip. "What a shame. I'm sure your Raticate would have enjoyed watching you fail it again."
"Mmmm." Said Blue, his smile twitching. "Yeah you're gonna regret that one. Eevee, you and Pikachu save those other two from the Kanghaskhan. I'll take these morons."
As the two Pokemon sprinted towards the Kanghaskhan, Malcolm roared slashing downwards with his knife. Blue simply caught the dark haired man's hand, and the knife clattered to the floor. He punched Malcolm hard in the stomach, and when he doubled over, kicked him in the face. Malcolm groaned as he hit the ground hard. James swore under his breath.
"Meowth, front and center."
The Meowth back flipped away from OZZO, landing in front of Blue.
James chuckled. "We have a Pokemon. I'm afraid you lose. Again."
Blue folded his arms. "Huh. You're right. You DO have a Pokemon. Unfortunately for you…"
Tyrone jumped down, cracking his knuckles.
"…I have a better one."
000
Ash looked to the Eevee running alongside him. "So uh…it's been a while since we met and we weren' you know, trying to kill each other."
Eevee smiled. "That's true, sugar. And you have gotten so much stronger since then. I'm so proud of you! Now let's shove that Kanghaskhan spine down its throat!"
The two landed their quick attacks perfectly, striking the Kanghaskhan head. The kangaroo roared in pain, and Lucina collapsed, completely drained of psychic power. The Kangashkhan growled, facing her next opponents. Ash flipped backwards and fired a thunderbolt as Eevee sprinted forwards once more.
The Kanghaskhan put up her arms, blocking the thunderbolt and weakening the blow. Eevee flew at the normal type for a bite attack, but the Kanghaskhan simply swatted her aside. As she hit the ground rolling, Ash jumped high in the air, and aimed his tail for a slam attack. The Kanghaskhan caught the tail in her hand, though she hissed and dropped him as an electric current shot through her body. Before he could hit the ground, she punted him, kicking him hard into the wall. Eevee jumped on the Kanghaskhan's head, scratching at the top and biting. She groaned in pain, trying to shake off the annoyance.
Ash groaned in pain as he slowly rose to his feet. "Ugh…honestly, stop throwing me into walls already."
But then he saw it, a golden stone off by itself, inviting him forward.
It was a thunderstone.
000
Jessie and James fearfully stared at the huge Nidoking glaring menacingly, Blue smirking behind him.
"Rrgh! We'll show you, twerp. No one messes with Team Rocket, so prepare for trouble!" Jessie practically screamed.
"And make it double!" James added, cracking his whip. They both snapped it at Gerald, who caught them easily. Chuckling darkly, he yanked them out of the Rocket cohort's grip.
Blue snapped his fingers. "Nidoking, use horn attack. End them quickly."
Gerald grumbled in annoyance at being ordered by someone who wasn't his trainer, but he supposed beating up Team Rocket was worth it. He barreled into the two as Meowth dived away. Jessie and James hit the ground, unconscious, and Tyrone smirked, pawing the ground. The Meowth, realizing he was outmatched, immediately changed course and aimed its sharp claws towards Blue, who stumbled backward and tripped. Seconds before Meowth's claws met Blue's throat, OZZO rammed into it, knocking it aside. As the Meowth fell backwards OZZO jumped in the air, spinning around in a full circle before firing a Psybeam with perfect accuracy, knocking out the Meowth before it hit the ground.
"ACHEIVEMENT! 360 NO-SCOPE PERFECTED!"
Blue shuddered. "Uh…thanks? You saved my bacon, that's for sure."
"I AM NOT PROGRAMMED TO SAVE BACON."
000
Eevee squealed in pain as she was thrown next to Ash, the Kanghaskhan finally succeeding in throwing her off. She groaned, before staring at the thunderstone that Ash had found.
"Whoa! Now one of us can grab it and evolve! We have a chance."
Ash nodded. "That's right. You go, you fought longer."
Eevee shook her head, "No way. You found it, you get to keep it."
"Eevee, I can't-"
"No seriously. You deserve it. I insist."
"Eevee please listen-"
"Come on. I don't even know if I want to be a Jolteon."
"I CAN'T EVOLVE!"
Eevee looked at him, shell-shocked. "What?"
"I don't know, it's a condition I have. I don't really want to talk about it, and we need to hurry. Please just…just take the damn thunder stone."
Eevee sighed. "All right, let's end this."
She tapped the stone, and glowed in a harsh light. Ash flinched and the brightness. When it faded, Eevee had changed the color yellow, growing spikes all over her body. Her body crackled with electricity.
"Let's do this!"
The Kanghaskhaan turned, seeing the newly evolved Jolteon. She snarled and started forwards, but Ash glowed with a bright light and used flash. The Kanghaskhan roared, covering her eyes, and Jolteon was already moving. Her quick attack was so fast she practically d dematerialized, ramming into the Kanghaskhan with enough force to knock her off her feet. While she was still rising, Jolteon fired a thunderbolt at point blank range.
The Kanghaskhan wailed in pain, shaking, before finally falling limp. Blue gaped at his newly evolved Jolteon, before giving Red a cocky smirk.
"Well would you look at that eh, Red'y boy? Looks like my starter evolved first."
Red rolled his eyes, continuing on to a still struggling Malcolm.
"Alright, you're finished. Now hold still while we call the police."
Malcolm coughed, too weak to move. It was then Red noticed something. The man had a birthmark on his neck. One eerily similar to the one his mother had.
Before he could act on it, however, there was a teleporting flash as a Pokemon entered the room. He had yellow skin, and a pendulum in his hand. It's eyes glittered with evil intelligence.
"Good form, Red, and not too shabby Blue as well. It seems you've defeated the former second in command of Team Rocket yet again."
"Wait…" Malcolm muttered, groaning. "What do you mean….former?"
"Well, unfortunately for you, Giovanni has decided to your services are not qualified for your station. You are being demoted. Be thankful your boss is allowing you to live."
"What!? How is that possible, we arrested Giovanni weeks ago?" Red indignantly shouted.
"Mmmmm, well perhaps you have a point. Check out the prison in Celadon, if you truly want answers. But for now, I'm afraid we must bail. Ciao!"
Before Red could even think to battle the psychic type, it had already vanished, alongside Malcolm, Jessie, James, and their Pokemon. Blue sighed.
"Ugh, they got away AGAIN! We need to track them and-"
"BLUE! Blue calm down. You promised not to act recklessly."
Blue rolled his eyes. "I'm not acting recklessly, I'm saying we have to find them before they get back to their headquarters!"
Red shook his head. "They likely are already there. It's pointless to keep looking for them, so for now let's get and the others out of there."
000
Fortunately, no one had received any lasting injuries from Lavender town. After explaining himself and apologizing profusely to the lady at the front desk, she reluctantly agreed Red and Blue should face no charges for defiling the graves.
Soon, Red and Blue decided to start their way to Fuchsia City, where they could defeat Koga for their fifth gym badge. Alberta and the others walked them to the road, where they began to say their goodbyes.
"Be safe, Red. It is a dangerous world to one so young." Said Alberta as she gave him a motherly hug.
Mr. Fuji pressed a small wooden flute into Red's hand. "Thank….you."
Red smiled as he said goodbye to both of them. Off to the right, Misty and Blue were glaring daggers at each other.
"Hey." Red whirled around. It was Green.
"Oh, uh hi…." Said Red, with slight trepidation. Green didn't exactly like him the best out of the members of the light stone.
"Find my sister. Please. And bring her back home." Green pleaded. Red nodded.
"I will." He would be seeing Yellow again, so it wasn't exactly a lie. Green smiled at him, holding out her hand. Red shook it, giving her a nervous smile in return.
Blue steered him away from the others, talking to him alone for a moment. "Red. I just wanted to say I'm….sorry. And thank you."
Red grinned. "Hey I can say the same thing, right? You saved my life. We're even."
Blue nodded, though he still looked troubled.
"Hey….." Said Red, hoping to get more out of him. "What's going on with you and Misty?"
Blue sighed. "I….acted like an asshole. I insulted her throughout the gym battle and…I won. Misty….after that she gave me the badge, but what she said afterword's... really hurt. What she said was true though. I don't deserve Pokemon-"
"OF COURSE you deserve Pokemon!" Red shouted, grabbing Blue's shoulders. "Yes, I understand you have some issues with your anger, but you've changed!"
Blue looked down. Red, changed tactics. "I have an idea. Let's race to Lavender Town, I'll go by Cycling rode, and you can take route 15. Just like old times."
Blue's smirk returned. "Oh you are so going to lose."
000
Whoooo! Finally a new chapter! I took a long break, but finally I'm going back to posting on a weekly basis.
Fun fact: Blue is decent at martial arts because his parents taught him when they were young. Blue's parents are police officers and taught him a few trick. Blue is very physically in good shape, in contrast to Red, who's a bit out of shape and a little bit chubby. Not like overweight, but a baby fat kind of way.
