Hiro woke up the next morning with Copper standing over him.

"Am I dead?" Hiro asked. Copper looked at him inquisitively.

"Why would you think you're dead?"

"Because if you're here, this must be the bad place."

"Shut up and give me that Drowzee of yours." Copper went rummaging through Hiro's backpack. Hiro got up and pulled the pokeball out himself.

"Why do you want Sleeper?"

"Crystal says we're gonna leave Gold here for a while. She wants Sleeper to keep him under hypnosis until we get back."

"Where are we going?"

"She wants to map out the forest before we head out of here. She's afraid that Gold's bad mood from yesterday would interfere."

"You guys go on ahead; I'll stay here."

"Whatever floats your boat..."

5 MINUTES LATER

"God damn it; I'm so bored!" Hiro yelled at the top of his lungs.

"SHUT UP!" Gold yelled back. "I'M TRYING TO FREAKIN' SLEEP! COULD YOU MOTHERFUCKIN'- When'd you get a Drowzee?"

"You don't stay focused very long do you?"

"I blame television." He sat next to Hiro by the water's edge. Hiro was fishing for something. Gold flipped out a fishing rod from his backpack and casted out.

"You're not gonna get anything with that, Gold."

"What makes you say that?"

"You don't have pokemon power," he said pulling out his rod. He had tied Highfang's tail to the end of the line.

"Fine, lets have a race for it. Whoever catches a pokemon first wins. In the event of a tie, we'll have a pokemon battle." They must have been for fishing two hours before Crystal and Copper came back.

"Hey guys, are you ready to go?"

"NO!" they said simultaneously.

"Geez, I was just asking..."

The four waited an hour without speaking. They still weren't catching anything.

"My God, this has to be the most boring and useless sport in history. All you do is sit around waiting for a water pokemon and occasional Grimer to be stupid enough to get hooked on to a dead shuckle bait thingy. This is fucking stupid. We could be half way to Goldenrod City by now, but no we're waiting for a pokemon with less brains then a caterpie to get latched on to this-." Copper was cut short by Gold and Hiro. They stood up and pulled in their lines at the same time. Highfang had a struggling Grimer in its arms and Gold caught a slowpoke.

"See! It's exactly like I said. The occasional Grimer and less brains then a Caterpie." Gold and Hiro threw their pokeballs and caught them instantly.

"I told you I'd win Gold."

"Hey jackass, it was a tie. Now we fight to see who's better at fishing. Three on three battle, got it."

Hiro had Highfang go out first and Gold picked Sparks.

"Use water gun!"

"Don't move!" Sparks took the attack head on. Sparks of electricity fluttered around Highfang. It fell to it's knees, fully paralyzed.

"Paralyzed? How'd that happen, you didn't do anything?"

"Water conducts electricity. When you hit Sparks with water, the electricity in it's fleece released onto Highfang. Thundershock!" Highfang couldn't evade the attack and fainted. Hiro wanted to use Sleeper but he had to find it first. He found it in the bushes trying to eat a sleeping ratatta's dream.

"Hypnosis!" Sleeper waved its arms around and chanted something in pokemon language. Sparks fell asleep on the ground. "Good job, now use dream eater!" White puffs of smoke erupted from Sparks' head and into Sleeper's mouth. "Damn you didn't finish it off. Use confusion!" It shot Sparks into a tree and knocked it out. Gold released Kazam.

"Hidden Power Ice!" The bulbs of light combined together when they hit Sleeper and froze it. "Thunderpunch!" Kazam smashed the ice and electrocuted it unconscious. Hiro threw out his last pokemon; Grimer. He pulled out his pokedex to look up it's level. It was only level 9 compared to Kazam's level 18.

"Poison Gas!"

"Return to Sender!"

The gas whizzed back at Grimer who ducked out of the way and let Hiro take the attack.

"CA- Cough- cough- pound-cough-attack- cough- Man this stuff smells like-cough-shit..." Kazam used a confusion before Grimer (Stench is its nickname for obvious reasons) could even get close. It fainted because of the type disadvantage.

"This proves I'm better at fishing. Now let's get the hell out of here. I think I got a rash on my butt from the-."

"Gold! No one needs to know about that!" Crystal pointed out.

"Sorry..." The group left for the exit but Hiro tripped over something behind him.

"What the hell?" A hand came from out of a bush and beckoned Hiro to it.

"Why'd you fall?" Gold asked.

"Uh... my shoelaces aren't tied. Now I got to... take a piss on a disembodied hand- I mean bush."

"Seriously, would it kill you guys to keep stuff like that to yourselves? No one needs to know!" Crystal said. Hiro went behind the bush to find Silver waiting for him.

"That must've been a tough loss to swallow?"

"You're Silver, right? Gold says to stay away from you?"

"Now why would he say that?"

"Because you keep trying to kill us! Gold says you two fought twice."

"Keep it down! Besides you were always asleep when the 'supposed' fights happened. How do you know Gold wasn't lying?"

"How do I know you're not lying? Gold's my best friend; he wouldn't lie to me."

"Gold is also your best rival. You and I are not so different. You and I lust for power. In the long run, you and Gold will fight again and wouldn't you like to be the winner? Me and P.O.O.T can help you."

"P.O.O.T?"

"God damn it why does everybody say that? It stands for Power Obtaining Operative Trainers and I'd like you to join us."

"Hiro! How long does it take to take a piss?" Hiro looked over his options. He could have friends or he could have glorious power and have the world at his feet but lose all individuality at the expense of a secret organization with a funny name.

"Will there be free chips?"

"Yes."

"I'm in."

Story Change: Golden Flames

He's been in there for twenty minutes," Copper said looking at his watch.

"One of you has to check on him," Crystal said.

"As leader of this group-," Gold started.

"Who said you were the leader?" Crystal interrupted.

"Let me finish. As leader of this group I nominate Copper to go check on him."

"WHAT? I'm ten, dude! I'll be traumatized for life! You do it!"

"Don't be such a baby. Because eight years from now, on Prom night you and some girl who's tits are smaller then a walnut are gonna strip naked and rub your pee-pee places together. Hiro's thingy should be the least of your problems!" Gold said while making hand gestures (inappropriate for children under age 13 hand gestures, I might add).

Copper's eyes rolled to the back of his head and fainted right on the spot.

"Damn it! Now I have to go!" He crept up to the bush to find no one there. Crystal was trying to wake up Copper up by smacking him. "Crystal. Hiro's gone. Can we go on without him?"

"Sure. He'll find his way out eventually..." With that, Gold hoisted Copper on to his back and walked behind Crystal out of the forest.

-----------------------------------------------

Chapter 13 up peoples. Hiro officially left the group and two new pokemon added. Speaking of pokemon, I need help figuring out more pokemon to add to the teams. Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing.

Gold- Pokemon balance each other's weaknesses out

Hiro- Mostly pokemon you wouldn't want to see in a dark alley (think scary)

Crystal- Emphasize Defense and HP

Copper- Emphasize Attack

Silver- Wicked/Dark/Evil pokemon. If you can't figure anything out I'll just look to the game for suggestions.
