Heya. I think I should push back my usual update deadline because the school year is ending and you know what that means. :(

Anyways, I kinda feel sad writing this chapter. If you read the chapter's title, I think you know what's going to happen now. But hey, that means I'm pretty much done with the Krystal arc, which can be both good and bad. Now I get to do what I intended to do from the beginning: Just random stuff with the Legends. Of course, it won't be just that either. You can be sure that they'll leave the House at some point or another, or they'll have a double/triple battle between each other from time to time. Guests might appear, who knows?

But even if HOPL stopped at the end of the Krystal arc, I think I would be happy with what I did. 25 chapters, 25 favorites, 42 reviews, 36 followers, 8,000+ views, it's more than I thought I would do, and get. Thanks to all of you that have sticked with me to this day, and we can only hope that the next chapters will be just as awesome.

Thanks guys, and here's chapter 25 of House of Pokémon Legends.

Chapter 25: Goodbyes

"Hey." Lyra whispered to the man sleeping on her bed.

Silver woke up and smiled. "Hey there."

The Johto Legends (and Rival) decided that the Gold and Silver should switch rooms to accommodate the change in relationships. Silver moved to Lyra and Gold's room, and Gold moved to Krystal's room.

"I've been thinking, do you think it's time?"

Silver's smile turned to concern.

"Today would be my fifth day here. I'm surprised Red hasn't already kicked me out." He sighed and got up. He then looked at Lyra and held her hand.

"I think it's time for me to leave." At this, Lyra sprang up.

"I'm sure I can work something out with Red if I talk to him."

Silver shook his head. "The only reason you are even here is because Gold demanded you join here. Red agreed, but only because he was a Legend and he was missing a companion. Now that Krystal's here, there's no reason for you to be here either. I'm a Rival. You could try to do the same thing Gold did with you, but you don't have that power because you're not even a Legend anymore. The only reason Red hasn't told you to leave yet was becuase he felt sorry for you. You know, being the only one that didn't like battling and losing your boyfriend almost immediately to another girl. There is literally no reason for me to be here. I'm just a guest that's stayed for too long."

"I guess you're right." Lyra looked away.

"But then that means we both leave, right? That we can still be together, but away from here."

Silver suddenly looked up, happiness replacing sadness.

"You're right! Why didn't I realize that before? We only need to tell Red, pack our stuff, and then we can go live in Johto, or travel around for a while!" Silver smiled.

"Red must've known. That's why he didn't tell us to leave yet. He was waiting for us to leave on our own."

"We should tell them during breakfast."

"Right."

(About an hour later)

While the Legends were eating, Silver looked at Red and thought:

Judging by how he's looking at me, I think he already knows what I'll say.

Nevertheless, Silver held Lyra's hand and announced that he had something to say. Once the more..."energetic" Legends (mainly Nate, who was messing with Diamond again) calmed down, Silver cleared his throat and said:

"As most of you know," He darted his eyes at Red and then Gold "I'm just a guest to the House. And as a guest, I have to contend to the House's rules. I'm going to recite one of the rules here, let me know if I get it right." Silver looked at Red again, who nodded. "According to the House Rules, a guest is not allowed to stay for longer than the Founders deem necessary. If a Legend is disagrees, refer to rule 2 of the House. Generally, one whole week is the limit."

"That's right." Red said, expressionless.

"Wait." Calem frowned. "How come I never heard of these House Rules? And what's a 'Founder'?"

"There are a lot of House Rules and we didn't think you were interested." Leaf explained. "And a Founder is one of the four Legends who created the House. A Founder has the majority of the decisions of the House, but his/her decision can be put to a vote because of rule 2. Currently, the Founders are the Kanto and Johto Legends, excluding Lyra."

Calem frowned again. "What do you mean, 'currently'? Do they change?"

Leaf shook her head. "Just read them. I'll give you the book later."

Calem shrugged, but nodded.

"Back on topic." Silver looked at Lyra, then at Red again. "Today is my fifth day here. And as a Guest, I've stayed longer than I should have. That's why I'm going to leave today." He then looked at Lyra and sighed. "I'm also going to address another problem that some of you may have already noticed. Now that Krystal is here, there is no reason for Lyra to be here either. Because Krystal is the true Johto Legend, Lyra has technically stayed here for 10 days as a Guest. You all know that Lyra didn't really fit in with the other Legends to begin with. She was only here because Krystal wasn't. However, now that Krystal is here, there is no reason for her to be here. Also, as you may know, Lyra and I have been together almost since I got here. Because of all this, none of us can stay here anymore."

"Finally." Red got up from his chair. "Pack your things, Guests. Gold and Krystal will move to the original Johto room. Come on, let's get to work." Red beckoned Gold and Krystal to follow him as he jumped up the stairs."

"He can be a little rude sometimes." Leaf told the Guests. "Come on. We have to pack your things before Red and the Johto Legends finish moving their stuff. You can say your goodbyes and leave afterwards.

"Right."

"Wait. What are we supposed to do?" Nate asked, referring to him and the other Legends.

"I don't know. Help if you want, but you don't have to. I think three people is enough for one room."

(After moving and packing)

"Phew." Ruby panted after putting down a heavy cardboard box. "Those Machokes make it look so easy."

"Well now it's done." Silver sighed and looked at Gold.

"I guess this is goodbye. " Silver opened the door.

"Yep. I hope you have a great time back at Johto."

Silver chuckled. "This place ain't half bad either. Maybe we'll visit once in a while."

"In a while." Red muttered.

"Sure." Gold nodded.

"Bye!" Krystal waved. "Sorry for taking your spot, I guess." She scratched her head, talking to Lyra, who shrugged.

"It's alright. I didn't really fit in anyways. Take care of Gold for me." She smiled.

"I will."

The Johto Legends smiled and waved at the Guests that were leaving on the backs of Ho-oh and Lugia, going through the portal.

Welp. There's chapter 25. I'm sorry if it's a little bit too short or it sounds a bit chopped up, I wrote in in the span of two weeks.

Also, I think I'm going to start leaving some House Rules at the end of each chapter. Like a bit of extra info.

Terminology:

Founder: A Founder is one of the four Legends who created the House. A Founder has the majority of the decisions of the House, but his/her decision can be put to a vote (see rule 2). Currently, the Founders are Red, Leaf, Gold and Krystal. After staying for at least four years in the House, a Legend can become a Founder if one of the current Founders decides so. Although a vote between Founders is necessary, a vote including Legends can be done.

Legend: A Pokémon Trainer that has beat his/her region's League (license and badges needed) and is subject to the term "Pokémon Master". Although some important Legendary Pokémon (Mainly Arceus) can sometimes suggest a trainer, a Legend is generally chosen by one of the Founders and then put to a vote between them. The Founders then present their choice to the other Legends so they can decide if they want to do a vote or not. (See rule 2)

Rules:

Rule 1: Most of the House's decisions are made by the Founders because they started the whole thing. If the Legends disagree with one of their choices, they can use rule 2. (See rule 2)

Rule 2: If more than one Legend disagrees with one of the choices made by the Founders, they can start a vote between Legends, excluding Founders. If the majority votes no, then the choice is canceled. If the majority votes yes, the Founders can continue with their choice. If there is somehow a tie, the question is asked to Arceus.

Finally, I don't have time to recheck, so excuse me if I made any stupid errors like I did on chapter one. (I said May was a Unova Legend 0_0)
