AN:

How's it going guys, this is Diamondgigas here and today we are playing Fanfiction(my youtube reference :/)

Anyways so yeah. Im still alive. I found some time on the MRT (or subway or train or tube or whatever) to write this out, and finished it recently during my holiday at Thaniland.

I have no other excuse to my absence except for school, Pokemon Y and general laziness. I'm very sorry for not posting often, and this time I shan't make any promises I can't keep.

Even though I too hate how inconsistent I upload, I don't think I will be changing anytime soon. Next year, I will be having my supah important papers that decides the fate of the world. So it'll be even more inconsistent, hooray. I understand if you hate me and stop reading this series just beacause I don't update often (I don't blame you really). And for all my devoted fans out there thank you so much for your long lasting support, it really means a lot to me.

Now I'll answer some of your questions, before I disappear again. Note these are in no particular order:

I can't believe I didn't noticed this chapter was up. Anyway I liked it, too bad for Red that his master died and that his hometown is in complete ruin. But at least he's still in one piece. I was quite surprised that Yellow fights with swords, I thought she'd use someone like a spear or a stave. Anyway too bad that it will take a while for the next chapter, but I'll be waiting patiently for it.
Oh and I wanted to know, do they also use magic in the story?

Diamondgigas

Well its not really magic, and it also kinda is? Its really like most MMORPGs, like Dragon Nest or Maple Story, where you have a bunch of skills. Some aren't really magic like the Warrior class which uses more inner strength to use his skills or the Bowman that just ties a F*cking bomb to his arrow, wheareas some kinda are like for the Magician class for example? I dunno, but hope this answers your question.

Hey! Well, I think I gotta start off by saying I found you through your sister Topaz, whom I must admit I am a huge fan of. And while I love her emotionally depressing style, I don't just look at the genre of the writing...if it's good, then it's good. And this is amazing! I love the amount of detail you put in! And I love Maplestory too! Is Red's hometown based on Perion? That's kinda the impression I got. Anyways...awesome beginning...so much potential with this story.

Diamondgigas

Red's hometown is not based on Perion, it IS Perion. Most of the towns you see soon will be pretty much ripped off from Maple Story (in hindsight I should probably use a disclaimer for this) like Henesys, Perion, Kerning City, that-one-tree-place-for-magicians, etc.

Welcome back to the land of the living! Glad to see the update!
So, we have Yellow under Red's tutelage, a (not-so-) friendly Tyranitar giving Red a cool weapon and a sneak peek into the future! But wait, if the 13 people are who I think they are, Red is seeing an extra person. Or is Red seeing a future of him encountering his future self by traveling to a future?

My brain hurts.

Looking forward to more!

Diamondgigas

WARNING OMEGA SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE A BUTT

xxxDreamingflowerxxx

I love this fanfic. I am a big Final Fantasy fan and Pokemon fan too. So this one is just the fanfic for me to read XD. I am so curious how hte story will go. Why did Lance and Sird attacked Red's hometown and who were those people that were keeping Yellow captive? Where does Yellow come from actually? This chapter reminds me of Sephiroth and Cloud, only that Cloud had it way worse than Red.I hope you'll update this story soon it's so good :3.

Diamondgigas

...That's not Lance. The person you see in Yellow's dream is (sry SPOILERS) Lance. The guy with Sird is an OC of mine... yeah.

Inside Out Musica

Look at me, first review of the new year! Feel special. (Actually, don't. I'm not that special of a person. xD)

Ooh, mystery man... I don't know why, but I get an image that kinda looks like Lance. I guess I'm weird like that...

Another fine job! It may be short, but hey, it's an update! Much better than how I've been faring with my writing... but no time to dwell on my failures. Wonderful work!

Diamondgigas

*flips table* THATS NOT LANCE GODDAMIT

Naw I keed. I can see why you'd mix up Lance with this guy. But btw here's another hint/spoiler (SPOILERRRRRR) for you: if Yellow is Y-01, then who could be L-02? MINDF*CK

The defender of pokespe

OMG OMG OMG PEARL PEARL PEARL I WANNA SEE WHAT YOURE GONNA DO WITH PEARLY PFFFFFTTTRR I SWEAR YOURE SO DEAD FROM HERE ON, IM SO GONNA READ ALLLLLLL YOUR FICS AND SPAN YOU WITH REVEIWS AN STUFF XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I hope you did well with Pearl... I am in love with da dude... *prays hard*

Diamondgigas

errrr...the characters will be coming in the order of the manga. So Kanto, then Johto, followed by Hoenn and finally Sinnoh. So Pearl will be coming very late, I'm sorry :(

However to make it up for you I'll give you a sneak preview to his class (SPOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

Go google: Maplestory Battle Mage

That's my idea for him. He's like that one wizard class that was like "f*ck this long ranged fireball bullshit" and decided thwacking enemies with his staff was more fun. There you go.

Anyways, hope I answered most of your questions, and see you guys hopefully soon but no promises!


Disclaimer: I do not own Nitendo, Pokemon, Maplestory, Asiasoft, Dragon Nest, etc. I mean like I'm still in school how the hell would I get the license for these things whut?


Chronicles 7

When everyone gathered, the sky was still dark red, with yellow streaks flowing across. With Red's help, Yellow had found an extra set of clothes besides her white dress. Although they were somewhat mismatched, they were more suitable for adventuring. Over a black turtle neck she wore a sleeveless yellow tunic, coupled with black tights and lavender boots. She tied her hair into a ponytail with a red band. Her rapier was in a holster attached to her belt.

Red on the other hand wore the same white shirt, now with a red leather vest and damaged jeans. He wore his signature red hat on top of his messy raven hair. Lionheart was strapped to his back by a leather strap.

Pika, Chuchu, Poli, Vee, Kitty, Ratty and Gravvy stood by their respective trainers.

Everyone in the group had no idea where they were headed, nor did they know when they would return. Even Red, who was the one who started this whole expedition, did not really have a true objective. He thought that finding everyone that he had seen in the vision would be a good starting point. Perhaps he could get some answers while helping Brock with the errands at Henesys.

But at the same time, he worried about the risk of it all. For the sake of a mere vision was he willing to put down all he had known and loved? And what with the part of the vision where Perion was reduced to ashes?

He looked at his companions. Yellow seemed willing to follow wherever he went, but she probably didn't know any better since she had just been released into an unknown world a few weeks ago. From what he had gathered Vee and Poli had promised to stay by his side at all costs, so they were not a problem. Pika was his own Pokémon that he had grown up with since birth, and he probably would want to spend some quality time with Chuchu on this trip. Speaking of the female mouse, she faced a similar situation to Yellow, and her decision would probably be that of Yellow's. Caterpie and Ratta- no, Kitty and Ratty seemed to be very attached to Yellow, and would probably follow her wherever. But Graveller. He had left his tribe behind for Yellow. That pretty much proved his allegiance to her, which meant he was willing to follow.

Everyone had put their faith in Red to make the right decision. But was he able to?

A warm feeling in his heart cleared his doubts. Yes... he was confident fate would lead him. Even if they had not a single clue where they were headed, Red just had a feeling they would do just fine.

Brock came moments later, riding on his Onix that did its best to avoid destroying the town any further while tearing through the earth. Vulpix sat obediently by her trainer's side. Behind them, Tyranitar stumbled along, very careful not to crush any building with his new found size.

"I just wanted to see you off." Brock said as he got off Onix. "Also, could you pass this to the village chief of Henesys? I wish to strengthen our bonds with our neighbouring village especially in our current time of need."

Red took the envelope from his friend. It had been sealed with wax with the official Perion Crest. A sword embedded into a rock, with two flaming hammers on either side of the sword clashing at its hilt. It had to be something important, as the crest was only used in extremely important matters.

As Red and Yellow said their last goodbyes to Brock and Tyranitar, Red began to have second thoughts again. This time, Yellow put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be okay. Even though I myself am not very familiar with this new life, I have a strong feeling that fate will lead us the right way."

Her words relieved the weight from his heart. He felt much better. He turned to her and smiled.

Meanwhile Brock was chuckling by the side at the two. He slipped between the two and whispered to Red, while making sure Yellow could hear too "You'd best take care of her, friend. This one's a keeper."

The duo was visibly embarrassed, and before Brock could say anything else, Red grabbed Yellow by the arm and dragged the group away, on their journey.

The trip between Perion and Henesys was a short one, lasting only 2 days. The afternoon portion of the trip went smoothly. But as evening approached, the group met with some hardship.

Red led the group, trudging through the sandy land. Gravvy had little problem manoeuvring through the landscape. Yellow on the other hand had fallen over so many times that Gravvy had allowed her to ride on his back. The rest of the Pokemon were doing well, but were clearly beginning to tire out.

Suddenly, Vee stopped the group.

"What's wrong girl?" Red asked.

Vee's red gem on her forehead shone under the evening sun, her ears alert. After a moment, she began to push Red away, her expression panicky.

Yellow got off Gravvy and used her powers to read Vee's thoughts. Yellow's face turned pale. The reason for her panic became apparent even before she said anything, as a tsunami of sand rushed across the horizon.

"Sandstorm!"

No one had to say anything as everyone scrambled in the opposite direction of the sandstorm.

"In there!" Red yelled to the others, pointing towards a nearby cave. A flurry of paws and feet tumbled to safety. The gang were only exposed to the sandstorm for a few minutes, much to their relief, as they reached safety just as the sun set.

"Is everyone okay?" Red asked after catching his breath. But at one glance he could tell that they had lost a few members.

"Where's Yellow and Gravvy?" Red asked, but everyone was as clueless as he was. Without wasting another second, Red had dropped his bags, and was about to leave to search for them. Vee nudged him in an attempt to stop him from going out in the black of the night in a sandstorm, but she too knew that there was no way she could make him think otherwise.

Kitty hopped onto his shoulder, and let loose a piece of String Shot on the cave wall. Red got her message, and allowed her to tag along, knowing he could follow the string back after finding Yellow and Gravvy to avoid getting lost.

Pika and Chuchu also decided to follow the boy. They had missed plenty of action and wanted to help.

Red adjusted his cap, made sure he had Lionheart with him, before going out into the sandstorm with his Pokémon companions, vanishing from sight in mere seconds.

"Yellow! Gravvy!" Red yelled into the storm, but to no avail as the strong winds howled back at him, laughing at his futile efforts. But he wasn't going to give up so easily. He continued to trudge into the storm.

Pika and Chuchu were regretting their previous decision somewhat, as they struggled to keep up, fighting against the strong winds. Kitty had crawled into the safety of Red's vest, but concentrated on letting out enough string for them to go back to.

A muffled cry was heard not too far away in response to Red's. It was faint, but Red, with his sight almost useless in the sandstorm, had picked it up and immediately rushed towards it.

He reached a small clearing, where he could see slightly better. In the middle of it was Gravvy and Yellow. However Yellow was unconscious, and Gravvy was holding onto her, protecting her. He seemed paralysed, unable to move, and could only grimace.

As Red took a step closer to the duo, he was knocked off his feet by an orb of dark energy. Several Yamask surrounded them, while a Cofagrigus -clearly the leader- stood a distance away, charging up a second Shadow Ball.

"We're invading their territory," Red thought as he dove aside to dodge the incoming Shadow Ball. Pika and Chuchu stood back to back and sent Thunderbolts towards the oncoming Yamask. While some were knocked back, they persisted and pushed forward in greater numbers.

While the Electric mice fought off the goons, Red found him pit against the head boss.

Red drew Lionheart from his back, and got into a battle stance. The blade glowed crimson, sensing Red's determination. The Cofagrigus, sensing Red's strength, pushed Gravvy away, and took the unconscious Yellow hostage. It opened its case and slipped the damsel in, sealing itself tight.

Red gasped. This made things much more complicated, as he couldn't attack freely without hurting her.

Cofagrigus, knowing that he had done something right, launched a flurry of Shadow Balls, coupled with an Ominous Wind to propel them further. Red was like a dancing Aipom, only able to dodge and block, but could not attack. He was being pushed further and further away, and was making no progress.

But while he 'danced', Red had already formed a strategy. He was familiar in fighting in such rugged arenas. Using the field to his advantage was the key. When the time was right and when the Cofagrigus lowered its guard, Red finally went on the offense. He charged forward, narrowly dodging a flurry of Shadow Balls. As the Cofagrigus attempted to stop him with Disable as it had done so with Gravvy, Red jumped out of his field of vision. In a second, he had dodged to the side and bounced off a nearby boulder. In mid-air, he slammed his blade onto the Cofagrigus side using Rock Breaker, being careful to only damage the outer shell.

In that swift movement, the Cofagrigus was knocked out, and its case opened up like a peanut. Its grey arms slid back into its case. Red carried Yellow from the prison bridal style, just as he had done so when they first met.

Upon defeating the leader, the Yamask fled, carrying their unconscious leader with them. Pika and Chuchu supported the wounded Graveller with their tiny bodies, allowing him to wrap his arms around their shoulders for support, as they all trudged back to the cave, exhausted and wounded.

Yellow's POV

I was in the darkness. The coldness, the lonesomeness, it was all too familiar.

A teenage boy with spiky orange hair stood in front of me. He wore a red jacket over a black shirt, green jeans and boots. He wore a giant cloak that floated around him with a mystifying aura.

His eyes showed no emotion, looking down on me. After a few moments of silence he turned and muttered "Pathetic."

The words reverberated in my head. It pained me, for I knew he was right. As he walked away, I crawled after him futilely, losing strength in my limbs. He was moving further and further away, until he was a mere dot in the darkness.

I was grabbed by two strong, slimy arms. I looked down, to see my greatest fear before me. The boy was long gone. I was now in the sea, being held up by a gigantic Electross that dangled me just above his wormhole of a mouth.

I was about to die the way my parents had.

I was dropped and swallowed.

I awoke with a gasp, still shaken by the experience. After I calmed down I began to take in my surroundings. I was no longer in the sandstorm, that's for sure. I was in a cave again.

I turned slightly, to realise that I had been resting my head against Red's shoulder. He sat by my side, nodding off, breathing quietly. I could feel my face reddening.

I looked around to see if anyone else was awake. It didn't seem so. I turned to look at Red again. Maybe...

I rested my head back onto Red's shoulder and shut my eyes, drifting off.

While my past will continue to haunt me, I believe that I will be safe with my new friends.

And my...my prince will protect me...
