No.2: Feelingshipping

Spoken with Words of Honor

Ah, Viridian City. Luscious fields, an everlasting forest, one could compare such a place with perhaps a tranquil Japanese garden. But that wasn't the case. The head honcho of the vile group previously known as Team Rocket was born in Viridian City, and it was there that he had placed his base. But that was a couple years back. There was perhaps no chance of Team Rocket ever forming again. All seemed to be fine.

Yet, a boy, well known in most parts of Kanto, had strangely disappeared recently. People from all around Kanto had challenged him, but no one was as powerful as he. It was then on that fateful day that he received a letter. The letter concealed a challenge by a man named Bruno. When the boy went out to take on that challenge, he was never seen or heard from again. Not one person knew the evil mastermind behind his disappearance, though there was one girl. That girl, and her alone, was the key for finding this boy and learning of the great evil that was behind all this.

Her name was Amarillo de Bosque Verde. Or rather, that was an alias she went by. Her real name was Yellow, or sometimes she was called Yellow of the Viridian Grove. She was born with special powers, which were only given to one born in Viridian every several years. Her powers included reading the minds of Pokemon, as well as healing them and raising their levels in a crisis. But Yellow was still unable to control her powers; she was only 11 at the time. It was then that Green Oak, a friend of the missing boy, came along.

Green met Yellow during the time when she attempted to capture a Caterpie. As she failed at catching it, Green began to wonder how she obtained her other Pokemon. After all, she had a Rattata, a Doduo, and a Pikachu, which somewhat resembled the missing boy's Pikachu. After she successfully captured the Caterpie, her Rattata began a process that many knew as evolution. Yet, Yellow never knew about evolution whatsoever, and was surprised to see her Rattata's form had changed. After crying over the whole situation, Yellow accepted the fact, and it was thus that Green was to teach her how to use her powers.

Green was a great tutor. He began by teaching Yellow the basics, and as they progressed further, he began teaching her to access skills she never thought to have had before. Of course, there were some times that she just took him by surprise. After all, he could never forget when she asked him what "evolution" was when her Rattata had evolved. Her lack of knowledge regarding evolution completely threw Green off, and from then on he didn't know what other surprises Yellow had in store for him.

Overall, Yellow was a good student. She listened to Green's every word, and Green considered her to be a little brother. Although Yellow was a girl, she wore a large straw hat, which concealed a ponytail she wore. This gave her a masculine appearance, and the only one who knew she was a girl at the time was the one who told her to play the role as a boy. And so, Green thought Yellow was a boy, and that was that.

One day, after a bit of training, the two decided to take a break for a bit. Green thought it was best to take Yellow into the forest, so that he could try out his skills on any Pokemon if needed. The only downside to Yellow's amazing skills was that they put him to sleep, as Green noticed overtime. But Yellow was still wondrous beyond words, and Green could never take such a great child for granted. Still, there was something about Yellow that made Green want to hold onto him, as if he himself were a long-lost brother.

Indeed, Yellow was like the younger sibling Green had always wanted. Even if he were only 13, Green was much more mature than most boys his age, and he knew that Yellow would be the one to find the missing friend. But, looking at Yellow, who was serenely gazing at the many peaceful Pokemon playing in the forest, Green couldn't help but smile a bit. This kid is definitely something else, he thought. There's no doubt this kid will find Red for sure! Just then, Green's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden cry of joy. He looked over at Yellow, only to find that Yellow was staring at an enormous Nidoking.

"Yellow! Get away!" Green shouted. Yellow took one look at Green, then cocked his head in confusion, as if asking why he would do such a thing. The Pikachu which faintly reminded Green of Red's Pika glared at the large Pokemon, sparks coming from its cheeks.

"It's alright, Green!" Yellow replied earnestly. "Isn't he cool?" It seemed only Green and the Pikachu knew of Nidoking's power, as well as its rage. But this can't be a wild Nidoking, could it? Green wondered. The only wild Pokemon you see around here are first-stage. And even if some second-stage or third-stage Pokemon were to appear, it would be kind of odd to find a Nidoking, as any Nidorino requires a Moon Stone to evolve. Gaping with fear as the innocent child walked up to the Nidoking bravely, Green's mind began flipping back and forth, full will wonder as to what he would do to get the Nidoking away.

"Come on, big guy. I won't hurt you," Yellow said sweetly, extending a hand to pet the Nidoking. But from its expression, the Nidoking looked as if it were about to bite the boy's hand off. Green knew he couldn't stand around any longer.

"Go, Golduck!" Green commanded. A blue, tall duck-like Pokemon appeared, and at once, the Nidoking turned to it and started to back away. But after examining this Golduck for a few moments, the enraged creature charged at it with full force. Green simply smiled. "Now, Hydro Pump!" he shouted, and the Golduck immediately let out a blast of water, hitting the gargantuan Pokemon on the mark. Fleeing in pain, Green recalled his Golduck and ran over to the confused Yellow.

"Green, why did you make him go away?" Yellow asked, a curious look in his eyes. Green looked away for a second, then back at Yellow. He shook his head, then let out a sigh.

"Yellow, not all Pokemon are good. You should know that," Green began. "It would've been a matter of time before that Nidoking turned you into PokeChow." Still confused, Yellow looked off into where the Nidoking had run off.

"Th-thank you, then," Yellow replied. He looked down at the ground shyly and shuffled his feet. At once, Green hugged the child gently, and Yellow seemed to let out a faint blush.

"You know, Yellow," Green began sheepishly. "You're like the brother I never had, you know?" Yellow seemed to nod. Green lifted his arms from Yellow's body, then looked up at the sky. "You really will be able to find Red, won't you?" he asked. Yellow, nodding his head carefully, looked up to where Green was staring. At long last, Yellow's stomach broke the silence. The two looked at each other with ease, then began laughing.

"Well then," Green responded. "How about we get something to eat?" Yellow took a few moments to think it out, then nodded his head lightly. Smiling, the two headed out towards Viridian, the Pikachu following, prepared for whatever meal was to come.

Creator's Note: So yeah. I had to make some changes to this one-shot, mainly because it had been ages since I read the Yellow saga of the manga, plus I was too lazy to go back and read it. I personally think my OldRival one-shot was better since I knew enough about the characters. And if you notice Green is much sweeter in the Feelingshipping one-shot, just think of it this way: If someone can draw "Princess Red" for Green's birthday, I can humiliate him by making his character different.
