Seven years later
A person laid back against the grass next to a lake, their hands behind their head as a pillow; a straw hat blocking the sun from their face, making it unrecognizable.
A Pikachu with a pink flower adorning her right ear slept onto of the person's chest. The two looked as though they had fallen asleep while fishing, which was true, seeing the fishing rod right next to them.
A ripple disturbed the smooth surface of the lake and water suddenly splashed over the Pikachu and the human.
"Ah!" The person exclaimed in surprise, quickly jumping up and leaving the straw hat on the ground. Long golden haired were revealed being tied up in a high ponytail. If the blonde had put the straw hat on herself, she could pass quite well as a boy.
Brown eyes glared at the spot where the water came from as the Pikachu shook itself dry. "Mew! What was that for?"
A giggle bounced from one air particle to another and a mischievous Mew uncloaked herself from invisibility. "I just thought that it's such a sunny day that you two might need some cooling down."
"Pikapi..." The female Pikachu shook her head in fake exasperation.
"Geez," Yellow pouted, wringing out the water from her hair. "Chuchu's right. You didn't have to spray that much water at us."
"It's not my fault that you two didn't seem me coming~" Mew returned blithely.
Yellow resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "You were invisible, how could I tell?"
"Use that superhuman sense of yours?" Mew quipped jokingly.
Yellow frowned, crossing her arms. "Not funny Mew."
"Right, sorry." The pink feline apologized, sobering up immediately.
"YELLOW!" came a voice from a far. "TIME FOR LUNCH!"
"Coming Uncle Wilton!" The blonde hollered back then return her attention to Mew. "Want to join us Mew?"
"Absolutely!" The pink legendary did a flip. "I want to eat uncle Wilton's cooking again!"
Wilton wasn't exactly Yellow's or Mew's uncle per se, but they called him that anyways. The man found Yellow in Viridian Forest seven years ago and decided to take her in - not knowing Mew was with her that time. It was quite the surprise when he found out about Mew and even more shocking when he learned of Yellow's abilities - though on accident. But unlike others, he didn't reject Yellow. Instead, he praised her for having something as amazing as that.
Their house was just on the outskirt of Viridian Forest, which has always been their home. It was a convenient spot since Mew could visit anytime without having to worry about too many human presences, but they were also close to the city where Wilton goes to work. Yellow wasn't much of a city person so she often stays away.
"Uncle, Mew came to visit." Yellow announced upon entering the cozy cabin. She place her fishing rod near the the door but her straw hat stayed on her head - Yellow prefer to have the article on her head at all times.
"The more the merrier is what I always say!" Wilton grinned, getting more bowls from the cabinet.
Next to the table, where they're going to eat, were several Pokémon; Raticate(Ratty), Dodrio(Dody), Golem(Gravvy), Omastar(Omny), and Butterfree(Kitty). They were Yellow's Pokémon friends that she met throughout the years.
Chuchu climbed down Yellow's shoulder to join the others who were chowing down on their food.
"Uncle Wilton, what are we having today?" Mew asked in childish excitement, levitating up and down, left and right.
The man tried to look indignant through his smile. "Stop calling me that, it makes me sound old!" He placed a few plates of food down which include curry rice, biscuits, rice balls, and sandwiches.
"The more reason to keep calling you that Uncle Wilton!" Mew joked, doing a flip in midair again.
Wilton sighed, seeing he will never get them to stop no matter how many times he tried. For Yellow, it became a habit but for Mew, she always enjoyed a tease. "Never mind. Anyways, it's not much of a variety but dig in!"
"This looks delicious!" Mew chirped, grabbing a rice ball and nibbled it in midair. Her long slim tail swishing back and forth in delight as the flavor exploded in her mouth. "It tastes like Oran Berries!"
"That's would be the filling, there are different berry flavors in each one." Wilton supplied as he scoop up a spoonful of curry. "But I won't tell you which is which, you'll just have to find out yourself."
Yellow smiled at the sight of Mew enjoying lunch with them and bit into her triangular sandwich.
...
"Ahem," Wilton cleared his through after a while, catching the attention of Yellow. She tilted her head in question. "Yellow, there's... something I need to tell you."
"What is it Uncle Wilton?" The blonde asked innocently.
The man intertwines his hands together in a business-like manner and places them on the table in front of him. "You're a big girl now and I can't really teach you anymore than I already know."
She was starting to get an idea of where this was going.
"I think..." Wilton said slowly, trying to weave his sentence carefully. "I think it's best if you start going to school."
It was the beginning of a new school year at Dexter Academy, which meant no classes for two days so that new students can adjust to the school environment. But it also meant paper work and preparing for the welcome ceremony, where everyone gathers to be greeted to the new school year. And every year, it has been a pain in the rear thanks to certain pranksters.
Green sat in the council room to finish filing everything that they needed. Food. Decorations. Events. Paintball- What?
The green eyed trainer stopped sorting and reread the piece of paper. It definitely said there was going to be paint balling. Who in the wor -
Gold's signature was on the bottom with a seal of approval.
Of course he would do that... and he probably already prepared the materials. How Green wasn't able to find this sooner was beyond him. Nothing should have been able to get past him.
He sighed in exasperation. There was no way to stop Gold and Emerald from pulling a prank every year so why even bother. Just let them get in trouble with Crystal and his grandfather. He hates to have these kinds of people in the council but they could pull their weight if told to.
"Red." His sharp tone traveled across the room to the raven haired boy sitting in front, signing papers off, a Pikachu dozing off in the upside down red cap next to him.
"Yeah?"
"Tell the others to be aware of paintballs."
Red Crimson blinked in silence before responding with a slow nod. "... Right..." He didn't have to think too much to put the two and two together. Their two favorite troublemakers were going to have a paintball fight against everyone. Just great.
At least he got a heads up this time. Last year they did a prank, the two managed to set up a realistic illusion that led them all off one of the school buildings. If Red and the others weren't there to stop most of the students from falling, then who knows how much casualties they'll have. Of course, there were none since Gold and Emerald were good at heart and had a safety net set up in the form of Snorlax's belly.
In the end, everyone had their fun jumping off of the five story building.
They really earned their first impressions from last year's newcomers. There was another year where they just decorated the entire auditorium with toilet paper coated with honey. Whoever stepped in was trapped in there with the sticky substance. Of course, it also attracted A LOT of bug type Pokémon, swarms upon swarms of Beedrill included.
That was painful.
"At least it isn't something too dangerous this time." Red mused, leaning back on his chair.
"They'll probably make it into one." Green answered flatly.
So true.
"Well," Red stood up to stretch. "I think we're about done here so I'm going to take a breather."
His Pikachu yawned and hopped out having the have hear his trainer. The yellow mouse took the cap in his mouth, leaped onto Red's shoulder, and places the cap dutifully on his head.
"Thanks Pika." Red smiled as both of them left the room.
"Kaa!"
Green sighed as Red disappears out of the room. He might as well get some fresh air in preparation for later as well. He swear to Arceus, he will never have a peaceful day as long as he live.
The green eyed teen rounded a corridor, only to collide with something. Or someone.
They both fall onto the tile floor with an oof with Green on top and the other person on the bottom. He mentally cursed for not paying attention and was about to apologize... that is, until he heard what he considered to be the most annoying voice in the entire planet.
"My my, aren't you pulling a fast one on me?"
Green glared into the cerulean eyes of the brunette underneath him before pushing himself up. He didn't even bothered helping the person that he bumped into up.
"Ahem."
Green looked down to see the brunette sitting and waiting expectantly.
"What do you want pesky woman?"
The 'pesky woman' pouted indignantly while folding her arms. "Geez, you really don't know how to treat a lady do you?"
"You're a big enough girl to get up yourself." Green retorted coldly. "And I'm not your babysitter."
Blue Opal rolled her eyes before picking herself up from the ground and brushing away the invisible dusts particles that might have gotten onto her pleated tartan navy blue and white skirt.
"So you don't care?"
"Took you long enough to get the message." Long story short, Green had been infuriated with the brunette in front him ever since they met which was about few years back. He was doing an errand for his grandfather and she came along and stole the package right under his nose. A mere street thief got the best of him. He got it back after searching throughout Saffron City for the pesky woman but it also ended up in her being recruited into Dexter Academy. The pesky woman showed that she has the power and potential to help them, much to Green's dismay, but he refused to think that they have anything in common.
Ever since then, she has been purposely trying to nettle him to no ends and it never failed to get on his nerve.
"So..." Blue smirked, swiping out a wallet. "you don't care if I have this?"
Green's sight narrowed at the sight on the dark brown wallet that has his name labeled on it. "You damn thief." Keep calm. Do not let her get to you. Do not show her anger. Do not play her game.
Blue feigned hurt as she gasped and placing a hand over her heart. "How could you jump to conclusions like that! It dropped onto the floor when you pinned me down!"
Green's eye twitched at the emphasized verb. He looked anything but convinced. "Your web of lies won't do you any good here pesky woman. Now give it back."
The brunette stuck her tongue out - Green wore a tick mark at that - and then jerked her head to the side haughtily. "Not a chance." She made an attempt to turn around and walk away but to her unexpected surprise, she was spun around with her wrist in a vice grip.
The one holding up the wallet was high in midair with Green's hand clamping shut around the wrist. Blue was tugged forward until she was inches apart from Green's face as saw Green glaring down at her.
He just couldn't do it.
"You really are an infuriating being aren't you, pesky woman." he seethed, not realizing the distance between them.
Blue's eyes wavered slightly as a faint blush crept its way up her face, but it didn't last more than a second before her expression changed to mischievous and flirtatious. She just loved to provoke the boy, seeing how he's always stoic. It wassooo boring to see that face on him every day that she decided to do something about it.
"Wow, two times in the past ten minutes. I never thought you to be so bold... Greenie."
"Tch." Green's anger faded into stoniness once more and pushed Blue out of his personal space whilst snatching back his wallet. His piercing green eyes darted to a corner, catching sight of something.
He can't even get fresh air like he had planned.
Without anymore exchanges, Green trek down the corridor, oblivious to Blue's hidden victory smirk.
"Oh Green, you shouldn't let your guard down like that." She said aloud, counting the cash she just 'found.'
...
He should really be more careful next time. Green can be really hard to deal with when he's in a sour mood. And that usually happens after an exchange with Blue. Sometimes, he really don't get his Seniors. Why can't they just express their feelings and make out already?
Okay, maybe that was little too much but c'mon! The atmosphere around them was so obvious!
"Where do you think you're going?" Green's voice came from in front of him.
What the - Gold didn't have enough of a distance to break and promptly bumped into the solid wall that was Green's body. He stood firm as if he was a steel wall while Gold was on the ground, massaging his rear.
He really hated how swift and solid Green could be.
He looked up to a towering Green; beads of sweat slowly made their way down his face as he flashed a nervous smile and a wave. "H-hey Green. Didn't see cha there."
"What did you see." The green eyed boy pressed in a demanding tone. He wasn't going to allow a loud mouth like Gold to pass around false rumors.
"See what?" Gold feigned innocence.
"What. Did. You. See." Green enunciated each word into the boy's thick skull.
"Err..." Gold averted his amber gaze. "I definitely didn't see you and Blue about to make out." Ah, well at least he was honest in his lies.
A vein popped on Green's forehead. "You and your horribly altered story."
"What?" Gold defended, all fear washed away and replaced with a smirk. Guess he can't put up a facade against him after all. "You two looked happy to see each other so I just assumed. Besides, you were the one who pulled -"
"Not one word. Not. One. Word." Green growled. He was fine with Gold doing pranks, but this. This just wasn't something he could live down with.
"What's going on here?"
Green and Gold looked down the empty corridor that they were in to find a redhead with silver eyes. He then decided that he should let Silver deal with Gold. He may not be as effective as Crystal but it was enough.
"He was also talking about Blue." Green supplied, a smirk form on his face. Silver instantly send death glares at the boy and snatch up his shirt.
"One word out of you about Sis and you're done for." The redhead seethed.
"W-What did I say?!" Shouted struggling Gold.
"Knowing your little perverted mind, anything that comes out of that mouth is bound to be trash!"
Green look at the two in amusement as they break into an argument. Silver can be too protective sometimes. They weren't really on good terms but at least they agree on something, Gold must shut his trap.
He left with satisfaction. That is, until he checked his wallet.
