Silver Moons and Golden Suns

Rose: Nothing to remind you that you have updated in 2 months then a review screaming at me to update. I feel loved uwu Anyways, here's that update!

~ Moon ~

When I came back to school, Ethan was gone. His mother was in tears, blaming herself for something like 'Letting him wander into the forest'? Either way, it didn't make a lot of sense to me. The only thing I really registered was the Ethan was gone. And that made my heart fall. My friend, my savior, my charge was gone. Did he leave because of me? Or was it disdain for this place, because of the way we were raised and taught. It didn't really matter to think about any of that because he was just gone. I can't fix that.

When mother took me home, father was home, and he was furious. Yelling at me for allowing Ethan out of my sight, saying he went to Ilex Forest and met with Celebi and now has traveled through time. And it was my fault. He had found out about the gift I gave, and how it made him go looking around and finding Celebi, making him leave for the shrine to see the time traveling Pokemon. I must have started crying because mother was trying to make him calm down, but in his anger, he smacked her and she fell to the ground, her head shattering on impact.

I ran away. I brought nothing with me. I just went out the front door and kept running, into the wilds around my home, and away from my so-called father, who I had no doubt that he wouldn't do the same to me as he did my mother. My heart fell because I had left Patches behind to the man who didn't want him around anyways. Most likely, Patches had already joined my mother. I kept running, trying my best to go fast, but not fast enough to trip or damage myself some other way. I never realized how far away my home was from Violet City, but now that I'm running, it seems like I'm running across the region. Once I arrived in the city, I was lost. What could I do? The Rockets probably had orders to catch me or shatter me. No one here would help me in fear of punishment. So what could I do?

"You're… Silver right?" I turned to the voice in surprise. There was a man there was long messy blue hair and a dark eyes. Around his neck, he wore the Zeyphr badge. That lead to this man being only one person. However, Falkner was a late teenager before father took power. So now… He's nearing his sixties.

"I…am. What do you want?" I backed away from him slowly, suddenly fearful of the old man. He shook his head and gave me a serious look.

"I know a way you can help Ethan. However, you're going to have to trust me for this to work." He said roughly as if he wasn't used to talking.

"How do you know about Ethan? And how am I supposed to help him if he's back in time?" I asked slowly, trying to be prepared for whatever crazy answers that were going to come out of his mouth.

"Ethan will need help from someone who has inside information. How can he hope to stop Giovanni if he doesn't even know where to start? Celebi has sent me to get you since it knew you would be in danger right now."

"Celebi? The time traveler?"

"You heard me right. Follow me, we won't have to do much more walking." He turned around and walked off, leaving me to follow after him. We walked into the forest and traveled south towards Cherrygrove City. Once we got into the town, I was sad by how fathers tyranny affected here. Forty years ago, this was a city blooming with flowers. Now, everything was gray, and the flower beds were replaced with statues. To go so far as to destroy nature… My father really was a monster. We breezed through the city and headed towards the remains of New Bark Town. The town was destroyed since it was the final stand against fathers revolution. However, when we arrived, there were people bustling around, makeshift homes scattered around, and the Pokemon Lab was back in decent condition. Falkner lead me into the lab, where there was a rather young girl standing there, working on some computers with cracked screens.

"Lyra? I found him." The girl turned towards at the sound of her name and she grinned.

"Good. I just set up the time link. Celebi was nice enough to get us a few computers from where it is. Nice to meet you, I'm Lyra. I'm Professor Elm's former assistant. Now I do the Professor'ing around here." She held out her hand and I took it hesitantly.

"Sow how can I help?" I asked timidly.

"Easy! Giovanni's database is locked out to everyone, except those with his DNA. So that's where you come in! Not to mention Ethan will be less freaked out if it's you helping out. Now, you see this computer? It's hooked up to something called a PokeGear that's with Ethan right now. So whatever data you find, you can message him or call him to tell him about your finds. It works through something called a time link, which is apparently when two very relative objects or people can transcend time if they meet the right circumstances. For you and Ethan, it's the fact that both of you are technically descendants of two powerful Johto trainers, Silver, and Gold, who originally went on to be Champion of Johto. Your related to Silver since you were made in his image, and Ethan's grandfather was Gold. So, both of you have a connection that spreads through time! Isn't that neat?!" Honestly, my head was spinning from the garble that came out of her mouth. But I was able to get some understanding. Through the time link, I can talk to Ethan and help him fix the future.

"I guess… When can I start?"

"Now! Ethan really could use your help with the Radio Tower takeover!" I recognized that event. It was noted as the first true act of Team Rocket's revolt. Lyra showed me to the computer and I sat down. I had very little experience with these, but if I wanted to help, I better get more familiar with it. I had to help my friend after all.

The first thing I realized about that past: Pokemon battles were amazing. I rolled out of the way of a rogue Thunderbolt coming from a pink fluffy Pokemon called Flaaffy. The Typhlosion I was given already was a natural fighter, not even needing me to give him commands. He let out a wicked Flamethrower, scorching the ground where the flames hit, before sending the electric type flying into a tree. The second thing I liked about the past: when you win a battle, you get money called Poke. I guess even Giovanni had to overhaul that too, using a currency called Credits.

Silver and I had just arrived in Goldenrod City, which was a huge and amazing place. Everything was colorful and people were bustling around, laughing with friends, or going around shopping. Silver was just getting annoyed at my mannerisms.

"You can't just stare at everything you see idiot! You're making it too obvious that you aren't from here." He scolded, once again reminding me of the differences between the real and Dollan Silver.

"I can't help it. All this stuff isn't around in the future. Everything's monochrome, everyone wears the same thing, and Pokemon aren't something anyone could have. It's amazing how different things get." I was interrupted by a noise coming from my bag. I dug around inside of it before pulling out a blue device that Silver recognized.

"That's a PokeGear. From what I know, you can call and text people, see a map of where you are, and even listen to the radio. I never bother to get one since it seemed like a waste of time and Poke." He explained. He then reached over and flicked it open and pressing a button to make the ringing stop. An all too familiar voice rang from the device.

"Ethan?" Silver! And not the cranky one from the past, but the one I knew!

"Silver! Oh, how nice it is to see you! Sorry about kind of disappearing…" I said sheepishly. There was a sound of content coming from the device.

"That's alright. You're in the past to stop the Rocket Revolution right? Well, I'll be helping from here. From what Celebi left, in a few hours Team Rocket will seize control of the Radio Tower. After the fall of the Radio Tower, that's when people starting panicking and the Revolution went into overdrive, taking more landmarks every day since everyone was scared. All you have to do is break in, find the Director, then take out the Admin who's in charge of the operation. Apparently, that Admin has a knack for playing a very dangerous game of Dress up." The soft voice rang out, giving me more hope than anything. However, Silver, the one with me, did not agree with me.

"So is that the supposed doll version of me? Arceus he sounds pathetic. Anyways, from what I know, that Admin likes to disguise himself as important figures, and then do bad stuff with their name. He's annoying since he always dresses up as Giovanni. Which is obnoxious." He grumbled. The Dollan on the other end went silent before speaking up.

"Your the real him right? I don't blame you for being upset with me. I could never replace the real deal. Anyways, I'm pulling up the attack plans for the takeover. I'll message them to you once I find them. Please, save the future Ethan. I have faith in you!"

I couldn't disappoint my friend now, could I? Nor Celebi, nor the real Silver. I was here to fix things, and if I was going to do it, I was gonna make sure I did a thorough job. Everyone in my future deserves to live the life that was lived in the past. I turned to Silver with a grin.

"Let's go hijack this takeover then."

"You don't see me complaining. Come on, I have an idea of how to get into the Tower without being found out immediately."

Rose: you get three guesses on Silver's idea. I got this chapter done in an hour, but I can't upload it and properly edit it until I land. But it will not be delayed like the others ones! I started today, and I'm posting it today. Have a happy holiday's everyone! I'm currently on a plane to see family, and five babies surrounding me. YAY ME.

EDIT: SO. MANY. MISTAKES.
