Me: Ha-ha! Here it is! Chapter two!

Yellow: Yea!

Gold: Yes! I have arrived!

Me: Yeah, not yet Gold.

Gold: WHAT!?

Me: Yep. You're in two chapters with Terri. This one is focused on Yellow and Kye.

Gold: What! Why?

Me: Because I want it to.

Yellow: You can't argue with her Gold. She's the Author.

Gold: *Grumbles* Fine…

Me: Good. Yellow? Could you please do the disclaimer?

Yellow: Sure. ThePokemonPress does not own Pokemon.

Me: So sad… anyway, here's the story! Enjoy!


Chapter Two: VS Jolteon part I - Small Talk

((Somewhere In Sinnoh… Namely Canalave City's Harbor))

Yellow sat patiently on the bench by the Pokemon Center, waiting for her juniors to show up.

"How long do you think they'll be Yellow Bird?" Kye asked from where she sat, or rather semi-laid on, her Charazard, Scorch. The fire type had her eyes closed in pleaser as she lay under the shade of a tree nearby, her Trainer scratching between her horns as she leaned against the orange creature's back.

Nearby was Sparky, Kye's Pikachu. She was playing with ChuChu and Leafy, the Eevee Kye had given Yellow for her seventeenth birthday (though Kye had missed it for unnamed reasons); Jetstream, Kye's Jolteon; and Lunar, Kye's newest Pokemon that was also an Eevee. Kye had saved Leafy and Lunar from Team Galactic's base after it had been destroyed by the Sinnoh trio, who hadn't known that the two Eevee were being held prisoners there.

Yellow faced her friend. "They said they'd been here by three. Its only two ten Kye, there's no rush." Yellow said calmly. Kye sighed, "No, but sitting out here in the open isn't what I call my cup of tea, if you get my meaning." Yellow did. She could see people eyeing Kye with curiosity that was either poorly masked or not at all. Being a Champion had its perks, but being constantly hounded for a battle wasn't one of them in Kye's opinion.

Kye glanced at the passersby with faint interest. Part of her wanted something to happen, while another part didn't. Personally she was just glad it was a feeling, not her other self. It took almost two years, but Kye finally got her other self to stop trying to take over. Thank goodness. It was getting annoying using half her brain to keep her dark side at bay while battling.

She sighed, could this day get anymore boring? She really hoped not, that would mean she'd resort to turning on Yellow. Something the brunette wanted to avoid. It wasn't the blonde's fault she was bored after all.

Great, I'm starting to sound like Gold Bird, Kye grimaced, thinking about the hotheaded DexHolder. He wasn't one of her favorites, but she could tolerate him.

What time was it? Two something? Dang, time goes by slow when you're bored as heck. Well, time to resort to bothering Yellow.

"Say Yellow Bird?" Kye called out to her shorter friend. Yellow looked up from watching the smaller Pokèmon playing.

"Yes?"

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"You may want to come over here."

Beneath her Scorch huffed with amusement as Yellow frowned, but nonetheless, Kye's oldest friend got to her feet and started toward her.

You shouldn't pry emberling, Scorch scolded Kye quietly so Yellow didn't hear. Ah yes, did she mention she could understand Pokèmon? Not nearly as well as Yellow, and only those that she had a connection with. Her Pokèmon; Yellow's; her flock's… you get the idea.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kye said with a smile that clearly meant she was lying.

Its Yellow's life. You shouldn't bother her with trivial things like this, Scorch lifted her head and turned to look her Trainer in the eye. Kye just smiled, it was just like Scorch to know what she was up to.

"True, but she knew I wouldn't let it go." Kye replied to the Charazard as Yellow came within earshot.

"Wouldn't let what go?" Yellow asked, looking over the two carefully. Kye grinned at her long-time friend. She just knew the blonde had her guard up after hearing that last line.

"Oh nothing… just wondering if you confessed to Red Bird yet," Kye laughed as Yellow blushed a deep red. She highly doubted her friend confessed, she was still the shy girl Kye had left two years ago, but hey, Kye needed something to entertain her. And poor Yellow was the best thing to keep her entertained.

"W-what?" Yellow stammered as she sat beside her friend. Her blush deepened as Kye laughed again.

"Ah Yellow Bird! I was hoping for a 'yes'! Not a 'what'! Surely you aren't going to stay in the dark?" Kye asked with a grin.

"Stay in the dark? Kye, what in the name of Lugia are you talking about?"

"Sweet Yellow Bird, I mean, are you ever going to tell the boy how you fee?"

"Did you spend the last two years with Blue? You're starting to sound like her," Yellow shook her head while Kye grinned. Changing the subject? Oh yeah, this was going to be fun.

"Ohohoho!" Kye imitated the older brunette so well Yellow actually glanced around for the DexHolder. "Sorry Yellow dear, just having some fun." Kye said, still imitating Blue.

"Please don't. It's bad enough having one Blue, we don't need two," Yellow sighed. Kye laughed again, this was much better then just sitting around!

"Yellow Bird! You've been spending too much time around Green Bird! You're starting to sound like that almost-brother of yours!" Kye teased her friend. It was true though, the stoic DexHolder treated Yellow like a sister, keeping a close eye on her when she was around. Then a thought occurred to Kye that made her stop laughing.

What is it Kye? You seem… deflated as they say, Scorch asked, turning and gently touching her snout to Kye's head. The Trainer shook her head, noticing her friends' concerned looks.

"It's nothing… I was just wondering if Green Bird, or anyone else for that matter, knew you were here with me," Kye looked at Yellow. The blonde looked down, a guilty look coming to her eyes.

"…No. They don't know I'm here with you Kye. I just told them I was going to meet our new juniors," Yellow said quietly after a short pause.

Kye sighed, that wasn't good. "Yellow Bird, I know your trying to help me, but, you don't have to keep it secret that you're coming to see me," Kye said in a faintly stern tone. Kye did appreciate her friend's attempts to keep as few people as possible from finding her, but she didn't have to hide it from the rest of the flock.

I agree. What Kye speaks is true emberling. You should not have hidden the truth, Scorch said in a voice that was much sterner then Kye's. Yellow nodded her head in understanding, but didn't speak.

Seeing that the conversation had depressed Yellow, Kye opened her mouth to change the subject, but Jetstream suddenly ran up, looking rather upset.

Kye! A Trainer wishes to battle! the Lightning Pokèmon informed her. A sigh escaped Kye's lips, of course. Well, better not keep whomever it was waiting.

"Alright. Where is he Jetstream?" Kye asked her friend as she dismounted from her Charazard's back.

It is not a male Kye, Jetstream told her. A female Trainer and her friends are waiting back with Sparky and the others. Kye raised a eyebrow at this. Most of her challengers were male for some reason or other Kye didn't know. Though she guessed it was because it was her name that threw them off. After all, Kye did sound like a guy, not a girl.

"Alrighty then. Better not keep her waiting. Challengers are always so impatient," Kye mumbled as she followed her Jolteon, with Yellow and Scorch right behind her.

Kye had to admit she was curious. When she saw the small group, she sensed that they were powerful Trainers, very capable of taking on any other Trainer with ease.

However, Kye wasn't any other Trainer.

With a flick of her wrist, she had Jetstream dashing off, straight at the girl without warning.

Would the challenger be able to handle this battle? Only one way to find out.

((Time: Noon. Place: Sandgem Town))

Platinum Berlitz was waiting very patiently for her two friends and bodyguards, Diamond and Pearl.

Sitting in Professor Rowan's Lab, Platinum recalled receiving a call a few days ago from one of their seniors, a girl named Yellow, that she would like to meet them and she was sure her friend, who she happened to come across, would love to as well.

Well Platinum couldn't say no to her senior. In fact, she had been quite thrilled that she and her friends would finally be meeting one of their seniors. And a personal friend… who could it be?

"Little Miss! We're here!" a cheerful voice called from outside the lab. Platinum smiled to herself as she got to her feet and walked to the door. Opening it revealed two boys, Diamond and Pearl.

"Good evening Diamond, Pearl. It is good to see you again," Platinum smiled as her friends did the same.

"It's good to see you too Little Miss!" Diamond said as he shoved a pastry into his mouth while Pearl just nodded before asking:

"Will we be going now or later to see our senior?"

Platinum nodded, "Now of course. It will take quite some time to get to Canalave City from here and I told our senior that we would meet her at three in front of the Pokèmon Center," Platinum informed him.

Pearl nodded again as Platinum called out her Rapidash before mounting the Fire Horse Pokèmon's back. "Shall we go?" she asked politely. The two boys instantly stood on either side of her Pokèmon, grinning up at her.

"Whenever you're ready Little Miss, we are!" Pearl told her. Platinum held back a giggle as Rapidash trotted off down the road, Pearl and Diamond right with her.

((On The Boat To Canalave- Two Hours Later…))

"What do you think our senior and her friend are like Pearl? Little Miss?" Diamond asked as he reached for another cookie that sat on the table they were at on the deck. A red and blue umbrella stretched over them, blocking the sun's rays.

"I have researched our seniors of course. Amarillo, or Yellow as she prefers, is called the 'Healer' off the group and one of the first Pokèdex Owners, the fourth from the region known as Kanto," Platinum responded as she sipped a cup of tea.

"Really? The 'Healer'…" Pearl murmured. Diamond looked up nervously as Platinum raised a eyebrow slightly.

"Pearl? Is something the matter?" she asked. She spotted Diamond shaking his head ever so slightly…

"Of course Little Miss. Everything is fine. Just thinking," Pearl told her smoothly, his voice betraying nothing. Platinum gave him a odd look before turning to Diamond as he cleared his throat.

Uh, Little Miss… do you happen to know anything else? Maybe her mystery friend?" Diamond asked, casting a nervous glance at Pearl as the blonde turned to face the ocean, his eyes clouding with an emotion Platinum couldn't read.

"Yes and no. I do not know who her friend is, but I am told that it is a she, and a very powerful Trainer. I wish to do battle with her. Of course, if that is okay with her and our senior.

"Though I am sure our senior wont mind, I am told she is quite accepting and kind. They say she has the power to share the hearts and minds with Pokèmon as well as heal their wounds." Platinum stated calmly as she took another sip of tea as if talking about their senior's powers was nothing.

Diamond blinked, nearly dropping his cookie in his shock. Someone who could understand Pokèmon? How was that possible?

"Attention passengers! We will be arriving at Canalave City in five minutes! Please be ready to depart! Thank you for riding with us today!" the announcement rang out of speakers set around the ship.

A waiter came and took the empty cookie tray away as the small group got to their feet and started for the bow of the ship so they could see the city ahead of them.

"There it is. Canalave City. How long as it been since we were here last?" Pearl asked, as a nostalgic feeling settled over him. The group watched as the land grew closer and closer.

"It has been just a year Pearl. Yet it feels like it was only yesterday we flew here from Hearthome to save my father," Platinum said quietly as she gazed out at the city before them.

They had returned, and this time, they weren't alone.

((Thirty Minutes Later…))

Pearl walked just to Platinum's left, just behind her. Diamond was on her right, eating. Again.

The trio walked through the streets of Canalave City, since they had time to kill, they'd decided to visit Byron the Canalave Gym Leader. Unfortunately, he wasn't there. The Gym Trainer said something about him going to try and battle a old friend/rival by the Pokèmon Center…

So that's why the trio was wandering the streets of Canalave, searching for Byron and his friend/rival.

"Who do you think this person that Byron is going to battle is?" Diamond asked Pearl as he took a bite from a pastry. Where the pastry and other goodies came from Pearl didn't know, he wasn't even sure Diamond knew. Both had stopped asking that question and just went with it.

"I don't know Dia. Perhaps another Gym Leader?" Pearl looked up as Platinum suddenly stopped, halting just in time so he didn't crash into her.

"What is it Little Miss? Is something wrong?" Dia asked, trying to find the source of Platinum's sudden stop.

Platinum didn't reply, she was to busy staring at something up the hill…

Pearl glanced up and nearly gasped. A small gang of Pokèmon were playing, two Pikachu; a Jolteon; and two Eevee to be exact. Though that wasn't what caused the group's mouths to drop open. Even Dia had stopped eating when he saw who was on the hill.

"It can't be… I had heard rumors that she returned… but seeing her in the flesh… words cannot describe it!" Platinum whispered, unable to take her eyes off the two Trainers under the shade of a lone tree on the hilltop.

"I know what you mean Little Miss… Kye Everstone, Champion of Pokèmon… and there she is. Here, in Sinnoh," Pearl whispered in awe.

"She has to be the greatest Trainer to ever live! I heard that no one, not even other Champions, can defeat her!" Dia also whispered in awe. None of them were sure why they were whispering, perhaps it was out of respect for the powerful Trainer.

"That she is my friends! Say, what are you three doing here anyway?" a familiar voice asked the Sinnoh DexHolders.

All three jumped, startled by the deep voice that suddenly spoke up. Whipping around, they realized the voice came from Byron, the very man they were looking for.

"Byron! We've been looking for you!" Pearl told the man. Byron raised a eyebrow at this, surprise flashing through his eyes.

"Oh? Why is that? Never mind. You three seem to know a lot about the Champion. But do you know her friend?" he asked. "That, my dear young friends, is none other then Yellow of the Viridian Forest, or Yellow for short. She is one of the oldest Pokèdex Owners and your senior." Byron went on without waiting for them to answer.

Dia's eyes widened at this. "That's our senior? And the friend she said would like to meet us is Kye!?" he gasped, unable to believe what Byron was saying.

"You got it lad! Say, why don't you challenge Kye to a battle? You defeated all the Gym Leaders and the Battle Frontier! Should be a good battle!" Byron suggested with a grin.

"M-me? Battle the Champion… Are you sure?" Platinum asked, her breath catching some. Was he serious? Her, Platinum Berlitz, battle Kye Everstone?

"Sure I'm sure! Here, let me just get her attention…" Byron turned and headed over to the small group of Pokèmon. They all stopped playing once they saw him and stood up, each looking at him intently.

"Ho! You there, the Pikachu without the flower! Sparky correct? Its Byron! I have a girl here for a challenge against Kye! Mind getting her?" Byron looked down at the Pikachu. Pearl looked over the Pikachu, noting its heart shaped tail that told him it was female, and the strange brown eyes when other Pikachu had black.

Said Pikachu tilted her head as if thinking the request over before nodding slowly. She twitched her heart shaped tail and chattered something to the Jolteon who nodded before dashing off towards the Champion and her DexHolder companion.

The Pikachu (Byron called her Sparky right?) turned to Platinum and grinned, her small teeth showing. The other Pikachu padded over, looking over the Trainers with interest, though not with the light of battle like the other.

Seeing the flower-wearing Pikachu, Diamond smiled and kneeled down by her. "Hello there. I'm Diamond, or Dia for short. Do you want some food?" he asked as he pulled a cookie from his pocket (was that where all that food came from? Pearl wondered), stretching out his hand to the Pikachu.

She tilted her head, studying the boy before leaning forward and sniffing the cookie. The smell was enticing and she took a few steps toward him before suddenly darting for the cookie, snatching it from Diamond's hand and back over to the other. She nibbled the cookie for a moment before her black eyes lit up and she ate the whole thing.

"Chu! Pika! Pikachu!" Pikachu chattered happily, dashing over to Dia and climbing onto his shoulder. As if it was a signal, one of the two Eevee ran up, and lounged playfully at Diamond, who laughed as he fell to the ground.

Seeing the Pokèmon playing with her friend, Platinum didn't notice the two Trainers coming towards them. Nor did she see the Jolteon dart toward her…

But Pearl did.

"Little Miss! Look out! That's a Quick Attack!" Pearl called out the warning just in time. Platinum's head snapped up, seeing the rushing Lightning Pokèmon, she called out her Rapidash. The Fire Horse Pokèmon reared, making the Jolteon back off so it didn't get hit with the Stomp attack.

"What the hell?" Pearl swore.

"Hmm. I thought that the girl was battling, not the boy. Though I will take either," a calm voice spoke up.

Everyone froze and looked up at the girl who had spoken. She gazed at them with clear brown eyes, a Charazard just behind her as it rested its head on her shoulder. By her side was a blonde with amber eyes who smiled kindly at them.

"I see my Pokèmon have taken a liking to you," the blonde said in a quiet, gentle voice. Dia blinked, were these her Pokèmon? She bowed slightly to them. "Hello. You must be the Sinnoh Pokèdex Owners. My name is Yellow, from Kanto." Yellow smiled warmly as she walked over and sat by Diamond, who wouldn't stop staring at her.

"Dia, I mean Diamond, stop staring!" Pearl scolded as he walked over. He cast his orange eyes to Yellow, who looked up at him with her amber eyes. For a second Diamond thought he could see a few sparks fly between them before his senior spoke up.

"I don't mind. Do you want to sit? I'm sure your friend will like it if we watched her battle," Yellow smiled. Pearl blinked, was this really…? Maybe Dad was wrong… Pearl thought as he sat beside his senior.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce my friends! This is ChuChu and Leafy," Yellow introduced the two Pokèmon as they climbed into her lap.

"So your Platinum Berlitz, Pokèdex Owner from Sinnoh huh? Pleased to meet you. The name's Kye, this is Scorch, Sparky, Jetstream, and Lunar. I will be using these four Pokèmon. What about you?" the small group looked up as Kye faced Platinum.

"I will use my Rapidash, Lopunny, Empoleon, and Froslass. What are the rules?" Platinum asked politely, masking the inner turmoil she felt inside her.

"Single battle, the winner is whoever defeats all four of their opponents Pokèmon first. You ready?" Kye asked, looking at Platinum carefully.

"I believe I am," Platinum replied, she wasn't sure if she was lying or not. She felt confident in her Pokèmon's power, yet why did she get a sense of despair?

Was she really ready for this?
