FOREVERMORE
~Part Three Of The Forever Trilogy~
Chapter 27
Junior Rebel Division
January 9, 5001.
(Goldy's POV)
Now it was time for all of us to leave on our Gym challenge. We flew back to Nuvema Town first, though, to see Professor Willow. Am only wanted the generals and us commanders to go inside with him. Dima wasn't with us—she was back at the castle with Aqua and Hyacinth, which was deemed the safest place for her.
So, we entered the lab. Willow was all the way in the front, working on some sort of paper at her desk. She looked up from whatever she was doing when she heard the door click shut.
"Professor, we'd like you to meet our High Commander," Topaz said, gesturing to my brother.
She smiled, and stood up, walking over to us, but mainly to Am. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you! I'm Elizabeth Willow, the leading researcher here in Unova."
"Amethyst Kimu," my brother said. "Am, preferably."
They shook hands.
Just then, the door to the break room opened, and two people walked out. First was a girl. She was a little thing, though it was apparent she had to be at least thirteen. She had long black hair in pigtails, oddly familiar green eyes, and a headband with fluffy cat ears on it on top of her head. She was cute, in that innocent little kid kind of way, if you know what I mean. Second was...
"Professor Pine!" we all exclaimed in surprise; well, all of us but Am, Grey, Crim, and Indi, and only the latter because they didn't know him.
"Hello, children," he greeted us with a friendly smile. "Thank Arceus you are safe! I was so worried about your well-being."
The girl looked at Professor Pine, and then back at us. She seemed to realize something, because her eyes grew wide.
"Are Big Bro and Mom with you?" she asked eagerly, clasping her hands together. "Oh, I mean Rin and Viola!"
Oh. I was about to say. Heh, this girl was Rinny's little sister? Well, that explained why she was so little. And she called Vio 'Mom'? Priceless.
"Yes," Topaz said after a moment. "Hang on."
She stepped outside for a second. The next thing I knew, the little girl was glomping her brother, acting hyper enough to put both Jade and Perla to shame.
"Big Bro! I missed you so much!" she exclaimed, squeezing him.
"Agh, Rose," Rin said, wincing. "I missed you, too."
Then she released him, and glomped Viola. "Mom! I missed you, too!"
This time, I couldn't help it but snicker. Sapph smacked me on the arm. I winced slightly, but then ruffled her hair, messing it up. She glared at me again, and I just grinned at her, but then she lifted her hand to strike me again.
"Knock it off," Rubin snapped. "Arceus, keep your hands to yourselves."
He really should watch what he says; he could have said that differently. And with me, he should have.
"The ladies prefer it when I don't," I drawled with a smirk on my face.
Rin covered his sister's ears with his hands, and everyone else either gave me a annoyed or startled look. My siblings did not look amused at all. But I was having fun, and I could barely hold in the laughter that wanted to escape.
"Pervert!" Sapph screeched before swinging her fist at my face.
And it landed right on my nose, which made a audible crunch.
I yelped in pain, but, luckily, I didn't sound like a girl. Blood gushed out of my nose as I stumbled back from the impact. All I could feel was the agonizing pain that just exploded from my nose. I groaned, and lifted my hand to my nose, touching it lightly, which was a big mistake.
"What the hell, Sapph?" I yelled, my voice thick, and some blood dripped down into my mouth. "You freaking broke my nose!"
"Good!" she snapped. "Now the 'ladies' won't prefer anything!"
...
A few minutes later, I was sitting down in a chair, holding a towel full of ice delicately to my swollen nose. My whole face was throbbing in pain, and I felt like total crap. The whole front of my shirt was covered in my own blood. And now my girlfriend was apologizing.
I swear she was freaking bipolar.
But I still loved her.
"I can try to heal it," Topaz offered. "But it has to be set first."
I winced. "Do whatever the hell you want, T."
...T? Where'd that come from? I never called her that before. Did a bit of a memory come back or something? Weird...
Rubin had to leave because blood still made him nauseous. He seriously needed to man up already. Arceus. What was he going to do when the war officially started and blood and gore was everywhere? Not to mention dead bodies?
"All right. Move the ice pack and hold still," she told me, pulling up to chair in front of me.
I gently removed the ice pack away from my broken nose. Then I froze in place, closing my eyes. I won't repeat what she did, because it was painful as hell, and made me feel even worse. She took the ice pack from my hand, and put it back against my nose. I groaned, and leaned back in my chair, pressing my hand to my temple.
Why, Sapph? Why did you have to do this to me? Anger issues obviously ran in the Senri family.
"Oh, Gold, I am so so, sorry," she said, continuing to apologize like she had been for the past few minutes since she decked me.
She reached out to touch me, but I swatted her hand away.
"Don't. Touch. Me," I growled. "Just... leave me alone."
I loved her, but I wasn't in the mood for her trying to cover for her idiocy. But I surprised her, and pretty much everyone else. I was never cruel, and never told anyone to go away. But Sapph went on the defensive, stiffening, a scowl forming on her face.
"Fine," she snapped, before stalking away.
Topaz frowned, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Gold-"
"Just heal my freaking nose already," I snapped.
"Okay okay," she said. "Relax."
I really shouldn't have snapped at her like that. Ugh, was Sapph rubbing off on me or something? Anyways, I closed my eyes again, and relaxed as she said, leaning back in my chair once more. A strange sensation overcame my face. All my pain vanished, and I could feel the cartilage mend, along with the bone part of my nose. I gasped with relief once it was over.
"Thanks, man," I said, able to grin again.
She shrugged, and stood back up, going back over to stand with Am and Grey.
"Now no, lil' bro," said Fiori, wagging her finger at me. "Let this be a lesson to watch what you say!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know," I sighed, suddenly feeling awful. Maybe I was the idiot for this one... "I'm sorry, Sapph..."
This caught her by surprise. She didn't think I would apologize, did she? Her expression softened, her posture relaxed, and she bit her bottom lip, chewing on it for a second or two.
"It's okay," she said finally. "Um... I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have overreacted. I should know you by now..."
How long had we known each other now? How many years had it been? Five, more or less. So, yeah. She was just... I don't know.
"Don't worry about," I said.
"That's much better!" Fiori cheered, proceeding to glomp me from behind and ruffle my hair.
"Gah! Not the hair! Arceus!"
...
Once I was cleaned up and in fresh clothes, we updated Professor Pine on everything that had happened since the bombing. Then he asked for Ethan, Evan, and Timothy to come on inside. So I went to go get them. I grinned at my adoptive siblings as I let them inside, and they grinned back. Lil' Tim looked really nervous.
"How would you like to have your own Pokemon?" the professor asked them.
"Heck yeah!" Ethan cheered, pumping his fist into the air.
"That would be awesome!" Evan exclaimed.
"P-Pokemon?" Timmy stammered. "But they're dangerous!"
Oh yeah. Lil' Tim's family was anti-Pokemon. Well, he did have a point. They were pretty dangerous. We of all people knew that. But that didn't mean we were scared of them.
"Everything in the real world is dangerous, Timothy," said Professor Pine. "Pokemon are meant to be our friends, partners, and companions, not our enemies. President Synis has brainwashed countless generations about Pokemon. Besides, don't you have Pokedex owner blood in you?"
Timmy frowned. "Yeah, Red and Yellow, along with Blue."
Crimson spat out his soda, and Indigo got sprayed. Ahahaha, that meant that Lil' Tim was probably descended from those two. Everyone else winced. Me? I grinned. This was too good.
"Professor Pine, Willow, there's something you two need to know about us," Topaz said with a sigh. "You too, Tim. But no one else can know."
The two professors frowned, looking confused.
"What are you talking about, Topaz?" Tim asked.
"We're... not from this time," she replied slowly. "We're... the Pokedex holder's kids."
There was a collective gasp. They all stared at us. Lil' Tim looked the most shocked. I don't know why, but it amused me. Our appearances were too similar to be coincidences; how could they not get it? Especially when it came to Cyan, Crimson, and me. We looked a lot like our fathers.
"Crimson, Cerise, and I are Red and Yellow's kids," Topaz continued, gesturing t each sibling as she said their name. "Crim just came from the past to help us out, so he has to be your ancestor. And since you said Blue, too, that means Indigo here has to be your ancestor as well, since she's Blue's only daughter."
I snickered as Crimson's face turned as red as a Cheri berry, making this even more priceless. Indi was more of a Pecha pink. Lil' Tim was staring at them with horror. I was really holding back laughter now.
"You're lying," he finally said.
"Do I look like the type to make up that much complicated crap?" Topaz retorted. "No. If you really want to be sure, I'm sure we can figure out a DNA test or something."
And then Crimmy started flipping out again. He was doing that a lot lately. Back in the past, I don't think he was like this. I wondered what happened to the poor guy.
Maybe he just needed to get laid. Yeah, I think that would ease his tension.
"He's got to be w-wrong! Indigo's j-just my friend! Tha-at's impossible! I-I don't l-like her tha-at way!"
Indi sighed. She liked the boy and he had no idea. Poor kid.
"You are so in denial," I snickered. "That's not healthy, you know."
"Shut u-up!"
I just laughed. He had it so bad, too. Really bad. I hadn't seen anyone have it so bad since Rubin first started really liking Topaz.
Professor Pine cleared his throat. "Anyways, I have a Cyndaquil, Totodile, and a Bulbasaur with me at the moment."
Ah, man, I remembered the days when Exploso was a lil' Cyndaquil when we first joined the Resistance. I had been a naive little kid back then. Back then, I even knew Am and Grey, along with Sapph. Grey was a pretty fun guy back then, though I was pretty sure I annoyed the hell out of him. Am was... Am. And Sapph was pretty much the same, too.
"Oh, I want Cyndaquil, definitely!" Ethan said.
"I'll take Totodile," said Evan.
"Very well," said Professor Pine. "That leaves you with Bulbasaur, Timothy."
He handed the three boys the Poke Balls. The twins released their new Pokemon. Ethan's Cyndaquil leaped up into his arms, and I noticed it was smaller than Exploso had been. Evan's Totodile snapped at his hand playfully when he tried to pet it.
"Imma name you Quil!" said Ethan, grinning.
"Fang," Evan said after a thought.
"Release your Bulbasaur, Tim," Topaz told her brother, walking over to him.
The little guy grimaced. "Uh... how?"
"Press the white button, dude!" Ethan said.
Tim did so, and a Bulbasaur appeared in a flash of light. He flinched at the sight of the Pokemon. It blinked at him for a moment, before waddling closer to the boy.
"Bulba!" it cried.
"He likes you," Topaz said with a smile. "You should name him, too."
Tim looked down at the Bulbasaur skeptically. "No, I think I'm good..."
She frowned, and then shrugged. "Suit yourself, then."
...
Everything was settled now. Tim and Rosalind—Rin's little sister, that was her full name—would be joining Ethan and Evan, forming their own little sector in the Resistance. It was to be called the Junior Division, though Ethan added in Rebel in the middle because he thought it sounded cooler. Rinny was skeptical about leaving his sister alone with three boys, but she reassured him about it. I think she was just naive about the whole thing and didn't get why he was unsure. Man, innocent kids were refreshing, in a way. It was nice to meet someone without a warped mind, like Jewel.
Viola and Rin decided to stay behind to help Professor Pine, to do their old jobs. As for the rest of us? We split up into a groups, and said our temporary goodbyes. As for my group—Sapph, Topaz, Crim, Indi, and our charge, Navy—we began to trek onward to Accumula.
"Ugh, I can't wait for spring," Sapph complained, stuffing her gloved hands into her winter coat's pockets. "I hate this stupid cold weather!"
"I know, right?" I said. "I hope it gets hot here!"
"It does," Crim said. "Well, when we were here in the past."
"Undella Town is so nice," Indi said with a soft smile. "I love swimming, and the ocean there has the nicest water."
I grinned. "We know. We've been there."
Her eyes grew wide with surprise, as did Crim's.
"Time travel," I said, smirking playfully. "We saw a bunch of Luvdisc, too. Remember that, guys?"
"Don't remind me," Topaz said softly, looking down at her boots as the crunched into the snow.
Oh, shoot. Crap, I made her think about Rubin. I had to cheer her up somehow. Ever since I met the girl, that I could remember, anyways, I always had this urge to make her happy, to see her smile. No, I didn't love her, did I? No, I loved Sapph. But that urge was always there. Maybe it had to do with before we were kidnapped, with how things should be.
"Naw, Topaz," I said. "You gotta think of the good times, not the bad! How else can you stay sane in all this craziness that's our life?"
"And you're sane?" Sapph asked with a snort.
I laughed, rolling my eyes at her. "Saner than I was three years ago!"
And the whole entire time, Navy was watching us, quiet. He was taking everything in. But he was in no way plotting against us.
Dudes, what's with me and early updates? It's because I have everything already written down and I'm bored, so why not update?
And guys, it's official. MY SOUL HAS BEEN TAKEN BY GOLDENSOUL. I'm serious. It's now my official favorite ship. I'm so sorry, Kummern, AmazonMoon... SO SORREH.
A-Anyways, I absolutely ADORE Goldy's POV. I can't wait for FaE for two reasons: Goldy's the main character and it's mainly in his POV, and, of course, GOLDENSOUL.
Meet Rosalind, Rin's little sister! She has her own, er, reverse harem. Ahahahaha...
GUESS WHAT? THE GYM CHALLENGE PART OF THE ARC IS FINALLY HERE, YAY! Expect Cerise's POV next chap, along with Rubin's.
Oh joy, Rubes.
WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MYSELF? Man, I remember when I used to think Kummern was the fluffiest thing in the planet, and then Rubin has to man up, and I decide GoldenSoul (which I've always liked) was officially canon in FaE, and it just FALLS APART. You know what this means, right? If they ever get their memories back... THINGS GET REALLY SCREWY.
GUYS. HELP. ME. PLEASE.
You know what, it's too late for me. Save yourselves while you can. Don't let me corrupt you.
To Evian: Well, you should look at the character files. I made them all fanciful.
Well, here's chapter 27.
KUMMERN'S RETURN IS COMING. SOON. IN, UH, LIKE... 10-11 chapters... Dang, that's far away. Sheesh.
Evermore comes when I want it to come. And thanks for the ship names, though I already got some from Starri, and I've just been too lazy/forgetful to update them on my profile.
Yes, Mica and Opal. IT'S A LONG STORY, OKAY? Haven't you heard of sibling complexes?
REVIEW!
PS. I typed this up last night and I feel better about Kummern, so don't be as scared. Still be scared. Just not terrified.
