Pokemon Special High School Edition!

Dear Mother,

I'm finally back Mother, back to the place you called home! Thanks to the help of Professor Oak, I have managed to settle here with great ease. School was really fun for the past few days, I've met many new people and such includes a strange boy who likes to garden whenever he is free. I felt at ease somehow whenever I'm with him. I also took up gardening again and those skills that you imparted to me came in real handy!

I had also met Crystal when I came back to Japan but it does not seemed like I'm welcomed here yet. I really wished the day we reconciled would come real soon...

I miss you Mother...

Yours Truly,

Lyra

Placing the pen gently down on the table, Lyra finishes her last stroke and seals the handwritten letter in a white envelope by the side of the wooden desk. Lyra pulls open a drawer next to her and slot in the envelope before resting back on the arm chair. As her mind almost drifts off into slumber, the roaring sound of a low flying plane jolts her back to reality. Lyra gets off her seat and walks over to the window, in time to see the passenger plane fly off into the horizon. A downhearted feeling surfaces as the memories of the past few weeks happenings flash past her mind along with a silent prayer deep within her heart.

"Please give me a bit more time..."

OOO

On the following day at around noon, with the sun blocked off by numerous huge white clouds, the weather is the most ideal to be enjoying lunch outside. Most of the students have flocked to the rooftop and cafeteria for lunch leaving only a handful of students remaining in the classrooms. The Johto gang happens to be one of the few people left in their classroom since Gold fell asleep and took Crystal nearly five whole minute to try and wake him up, he finally wakes up after having his face smashed into the table though.

"Geez, its your fault we can't find a spot on the rooftop!", Crystal continues to reprimand Gold as the two makes their way downstairs to the flower garden where Silver had gone off ahead.

"Yeah, but you didn't have to smash my entire face into the table right?", Gold points frantically at his bright red swollen face to which Crystal responds with a muffled laughter. They converse for a bit more before Gold stops and glances down at the garden. Since they are on the second level, they have a clear view of the entire garden and couldn't believed the sight presented to them. They notice Silver amongst the small number of students within the vincinity of the garden engaging in a seemingly lively conversation with another female student. With her back facing them, Gold couldn't quite recognize the female student but it still interests him nonetheless since its not often you see Silver engaging in a conversation with the opposite gender for more than one minute.

However, being interested seems to be the last thing on Crystal's mind as she clenches her fist at the sight of the girl. A surge of annoyance immediately fills up her head but before she could react, Gold has already rushed off towards the far end of the level and down the stairways much to Crystal's dismay.

"Gold!", a hint of desperation slips into her tone as she watches him disappear down the corridor, completely ignoring her callings. Numerous students walks pass Crystal but her lone figure seems to be solidified in time with just her hands tightly grasping the ends of her skirt.

"Why are you doing this to me...?"

OOO

Ten minutes ago, under the cooling weather, Silver has just arrived at the flower patch ahead of the others who are still in the classroom. With only a few random students sitting on the benches in front of the garden, Silver decides to get a head start on his daily gardening routine. Slotting his hand into his left breast pocket, Silver takes out the silverish key for the shed. In no time at all, Silver generously delivers the daily dose of fresh water with the watering pail taken from the shed. As he waters the flowers across the garden, Silver reaches the sunflower patch that he set aside from the other flowers.

"It looks like there is some progress, a little more should do," just as Silver stats to tilt the watering pail, the grass patch behind him rustles a little as someone attempts to soften their footsteps but fails miserably.

"You know, walking silently isn't that hard," the rustling sound immediately stops and the visitor lets out a groan of disappointment as she walks over to Silver's side.

"Oh! Silver, the yellow flower petals are starting to grow out!", Lyra squeals and points at the flower with utmost excitement. Silver sighs and begins explaining about how the sunflower bud only takes a week or two to reach a stage where it'll grow its flower as two squat down in front of their flower. After a brief moment into Silver's long lecture, he realizes Lyra is just smiling sheepishly at him since the start.

"What?", Lyra shakes her head and picks up the watering pail by Silver's side.

"So this little flower will bloom fully in a few more weeks huh? I really wished I could see that...", Lyra's words starts to trail off as she continues to water the patches where Silver had left out before. A complicated expression slips out from under her smile as Sliver catches a glimpse of it before Lyra turns to him and reverts back to her gentle smile.

"Okay! Lets make sure this baby gets the nutrients it needs okay Silver?", Lyra grabs Silver's hand and does a fist pump in the air dragging his hands along with her. Just then, thunderous footsteps can be heard rushing towards them from the main building. The figure slowly comes into view and it immediately takes up a kneeling position in front of Lyra just as Silver brings his other free hand onto his face.

"My good lady, would you care for a cup of tea at the cafeteria with me?", Gold stretches out his hand and grasp Lyra's other hand completely ignoring the presence of Silver. Much to Gold's surprise, Lyra grasp his hand and shakes it pretty forcefully with a wide smile plastered on her face.

"Hello! I'm Lyra and you are?", Silver lets out a muffled laughter as Gold freezes at the sudden turn of events. His head thought numerous lines to use if the girl rejects or accepts it but to flat out ignore his advance was out of his expectation as his brain tries to process new lines to counter this new development.

After a bit of explanation on Silver's side, Gold reverts back from his stoned state and they resume their re-introduction. "So you are Gold, I've heard quite a bit about you from Silver," Gold eyes Silver suspiciously only to have recieve a blank look on Silver's face like as though he has no idea what she is saying.

"Before anything else, are the two of you a couple already?" Gold's sudden question startles Silver as he advances foward to grab onto Gold's collar and attempts to choke him for his insensitive question. Gold taps out gasping for air and points at the interlocked hands between them. Once they realize their hands are still interlocked from that fist pump, in a split second both of them retract their hands out of embarassment.

"Ahhaha, my bad," Lyra averts her eyes away from the two blushing while Silver just face his back to them entirely. Gold heaves a sigh as he watches the two shuffle around nervously. Just then, he notices Crystal standing by the door leading out of the building and is about to call out to her when he realizes her glare towards their general direction.

"Crystal...?", Gold murmurs out her name as Lyra widens her eyes at the sight of her sister. Those icy cold stares sends a shiver down her spine, no matter how you look at it, those eyes are filled with hatred and damnation towards her. Just as Lyra attempts to call out to her, Crystal re-enters the building like a fleeting shadow. Lyra immediately takes off after her oblivious to Gold who calls out to her from the garden. The two look at each other for a brief moment before deciding to follow Lyra into the building to find out what the hell is actually going on.

OOO

"Crystal!", Lyra's frantic voice echoes down the corridor as she finally catches sight of her sister walking down the second floor corridor. Lyra stops in her tracks panting with Crystal stopping a few metres in front of her too.

"Didn't I tell you not to appear before me again?", even with her back facing Lyra, Lyra could feel the hostility in Crystal's tone but she is determined to set the facts straight right here and now. Gripping her skirt tight, Lyra attempts to reach out to her long lost sister but is cut off by Crystal who turns around and glares accusingly at Lyra.

"Why did you appear before me again, you murderer?"

Even though Lyra is prepared for this type of confrontation, hearing the words straight out of Crystal's mouth is still heart breaking as Lyra looks over solemnly at her sister without putting up much of a fight. Lyra is not the only one shock by the sudden declaration, the other two guys backed against the wall behind Lyra also managed to catch that very same phrase coming out of Crystal's mouth.

"What the hell is going on...Lyra!", with almost no context at hand, the two guys could only sit back and watch as the drama unfolds before their very eyes between the murderer and victim.

To be continued!
