o I was checking my story and was super happy cause I got a fifth review from Roy Arisato (love you). Then I read it and I realized something. I FORGOT SILVER. OH MY GOD. I was so into writing Krystal's mystery that I forgot to include him in the puzzle. I also realized I forgot a couple of other things like Gold's battle vs Red atop Mt. Silver, which is EXTREMELY important. So, I guess I'll leave you a third part to the Legends chapter.
Chapter 4: The Legends (part 3)
(I guess)
"Wait a minute." Lyra frowned, looking at Gold. "You forgot a lot of stuff. Silver? Your battle atop Mt. Silver? Your training with Red?" This made Gold immediately slap himself in the face.
"HOW COULD I FORGET?!"
Nate laughed at this. "Hey old man, I think it's called Alzheimer's." Laughs erupted around the table.
"Shut up." He grinned back.
"I don't really know what Silver was doing at the time of Krystal's disappearance. We didn't know him like Red and Leaf knew Blue. He just kind of appeared at the beginning of our journey, hidden behind the lab. He's more serious than Red and he acts much cooler than actually is. He kept disappearing after every battle and he thought that only thing he needed to win was good Pokémon. Little did he know, I went through Whitney's Miltank and I was not to be underestimated." Gold visibly shuddered, remembering that horrific gym battle.
"Every time we met was like a show. He was the grumpy one and I was the goofy one. Like:
'Humph. I shouldn't even be wasting time with weaklings like you.'
'Really? Let me ask your Pokémon if that's true. Oh wait, I MADE THEM FAINT." Gold laughed.
"He learned his mistakes and left his super serious side behind and finally learned to love his Pokémon around the end of my journey though. That bastard." He chuckled.
"And the battle against Red? Who won?" Calem got closer. Gold grinned at Red, he did the same, knowing how anxious Calem must be to know what truth was.
"Well..." Gold started painfully slow.
"Well?" Serena hurried him up.
"I got to Mt. Silver..."
"Get on with it!"
"Don't rush me." He smiled and actually started.
"I was extremely surprised when I found Red at Mt. Silver. Even back then he had already beat all the Pokémon Leagues, so I recognized him immediately. He was kind of like my idol when I grew up, so I was just shocked when I saw him for the first time. Somehow, he knew that I was there, because he turned around with the hint of a smile, a pokéball already in his hand. I instinctively threw Typhlosion's pokéball, and the battle begun." Gold laughed at Calem, who had practically left his seat.
"So!? Who won!?"
"I won." Gold smiled. "But I later found out he let me win in order to keep me away from the path he took during his journey." Gold crossed his arms as Red explained.
"I looked in his eyes and saw my older self, before Lavender Town and before Lt. Surge. I couldn't crush his dreams like he did. So I let him win with a Quick Attack and 1HP on his last Pokémon. He decided to train with me on Mt. Silver after that, but he didn't complete it because he realized he wasn't spending enough time with Lyra. To remind him that his training would be lost if he left in the middle, we had a battle in which I won. He didn't really care though, he just left anyways. I don't blame him though, I went to Leaf as soon I as I finished my training. We then met with Gold and Lyra to create this place, using Dialga and Palkia's power." Red took a deep breath.
"Just two more things." Calem and Serena asked, which made Red groan.
"First, what exactly is your training?"
"I train at a harsh cold mountain like Mt. Silver or Kyruem's cave so I can walk around and battle freely at extreme conditions, like during weather moves. I also do that so that I can withstand Pokémon's attacks just like my Pokémon do. That way I can take hits for them, or battle with them, like an extra fighting-type Pokémon. It sounds cool, but you need extreme training to withstand a Fire Blast or a Hyper Beam. Black and I are the only ones to complete the training." Calem and Serena just stood there, mouths gaping open in awe. A human fighting with his Pokémon was unheard of (apart from Karate guys, but they suck), and these two trainers managed to do it.
"Amazing. No wonder you're so strong-"
"And no, I'm not training anyone else. At least not for a while. So many people have asked for it, it's starting to annoy me." Red crossed his arms.
"Anyways," Serena started, "To clarify, who here is in a relationship and with whom?"
"Oh. I guess we forgot to tell you that too. Red and Leaf are married and they're both 26. Gold and Lyra are together but not married and they are both 25. Ruby is also together with May but not married, both 22 years old. Diamond and me are both 19 but also not married yet. Black and Hilda aren't marrying anytime soon, and they're both 18. Nate and Rosa are 16, but already have plans for marriage. What about you?" Dawn finished with her chin resting on her knuckles, a curious smile lighting up her face.
"We're both 15. And obviously not married. We already answered how far we were into it during the Question Time, remember?" Serena looked away.
"Whatever." Gold sighed.
"Ok then, now can we start the Game Time? I really want to get that over with so that we can start the tournament and I can beat this guy's team." Nate grinned at Calem, who grinned back. This was the beginning of Nate's rivalry with Calem, just like Red's rivalry with Gold.
Phew. Finally. That was a huge chapter to get over with. So much information was finally revealed and I'm so happy that's over with. Also, I'm probably going to lose some of my readers just because I made Gold lose to Red, but come on. It's not like Gold is bad or anything. On the contrary. He ranked #4 in the World Tournament and #2 in the House of Pokémon Legends Tournament. Anyways, now I have to do the Never Have I Ever game. }:( ugh. I also want to clarify that Nate isn't Diamond's rival, Nate just loves to annoy the living hell out of him. He constantly makes fun of his supposed "hipster" scarf and his "pillow hat". Both terms only used by him. Godamn I love 'im. Anyways, please help me on the next chapter, I have no ideas. pls. help. I am begging you.
P.S: There will probably be a longer time between chapters because of the two biggest enemies of a writer:
School, and sleep. Oh, the stories we would write if we didn't need them. *sigh* welp. Laters.
