"Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal: The Shining Adventure"

Chapter 11 – The Steel-Made Lass, The Cruiser, and the Crimson Eyes:

A new character will be introduced, and I hope you all like it. After all, it might be my favorite. Hope you enjoy ^^

Gold, followed by Quilava and Electabuzz, Aipom on his head and Togetic flying around him, walked through the path. It had been a while since he defeated Morty, meaning that it was about snack time, this is, 4 PM. The sun was already descending, but it maintained the yellow color. After all, being Spring-Summer Season, it was warm yet refreshing, and the days were long.

Gold decided to speed things up and withdrew his friends, with the exception of Aipom. He took out his skateboard and used it, reaching his next destination, Olivine City, easily and quickly.

"Ei!" Aipom complained about how Gold dashed out without warning.

"Gomen, gomen, aniki." Gold apologized. He then entered the city and began searching for the Gym. Crystal had informed him that Olivine City did have a Gym, and a very powerful one, not to mention. It was a challenge Gold was eager to take part in, but he was… lost. "Damn it… Aipom, have you seen anything?" Gold had assigned Aipom for scouting, but the results were negative. Gold then resorted for a second option. He decided to ask someone for help. He found someone who didn't seem busy to help. A boy, who appeared to be around his age, with ruby colored sharp eyes. His hair was hidden under a white knight cap with a bandana like portion, black, with a red Poké Ball like marking. The hair that could be seen was dark. His clothes were simply and fitted him perfectly: a black and red sweater, in a stylish pattern. His trousers were dark, and his shoes were yellow-orange. He had fingerless gloves of the same color. He was sitting on the bench, playing on his Poké Gear. "Excuse me?"

"Yes?" the boy spoke, turning off the Poké Gear he had in his hand, so he could pay attention to Gold. He immediately knew that Gold was someone lost. He smirked. "Need a tour guide?"

"Yeah, more or less." Gold spoke, sweatdropping. "Is it usual?"

"More or less. This is one of the biggest cities of Johto, and unless you live here, you don't get used to it quickly." The boy stood up, and placed his Poké Gear inside his pocket. Then, he extended his hand for a greeting handshake, along with a smile that showed trust. "Welcome to Johto. My name is Ruby. And you?"

Gold grinned and shook Ruby's hand. "My name is Gold. The next champion of the Indigon Plateau!"

"So I guess you're here for the Gym Leader then." Ruby deduced.

"Yeah. Could you take me to the Gym?"

"I could, but that would be useless. She's not there."

"Oh. Then, where is she?"

"I'll take you to her. Follow me."

Ruby guided Gold throughout the city, eventually reaching the Glitter Lighthouse. Ruby guided Gold around, since there was a secret passage leading to the top. Ruby and Gold arrived to the top.

"Good afternoon, Jasmine." Ruby spoke. Gold followed him, and was stunned by the image. A beautiful girl with light brown long hair, light brown eyes, and wearing a white and green-cyan sundress, with a red bow on the thorax area. She was caressing the back of a struggling Ampharos, who looked sick.

"Ruby!" IT appeared that the Gym Leader and Ruby were acquaintances. Actually, they looked good friends. "Who's this?"

"This is Gold, a person I just met. He wanted to challenge you for a Gym battle, but…"

Jasmine proceeded to explain. "This Pokémon always kept the sea lit at night. ...But it suddenly got sick... It's gasping for air..." Jasmine, Gold and Ruby looked all to the Pokémon, feeling sorry. "I understand that there is a wonderful Pharmacy in Cianwood... But that's across the sea... And I can't leave Amphy unattended…"

"That's no problem." Gold informed, making everyone turn to him. Aipom was on Ruby's head, by the way. "I'll go there."

"What?" Ruby and Jasmine looked in confusion.

"I'll go there and bring the medicine tomorrow. Plus, it will be a good chance to practice water battles."

"You would really do that?" Jasmine asked. Gold put his pool cue behind his neck and over his shoulders.

"Of course." He answered. "Aipom, Ruby, let's go."

"W-Wait, I have to come?" Ruby asked, surprised.

"Of course! Aren't you my tour guide? C'mon, pal, let's go." Ruby smiled at Gold's cocky grin and they both left the Lighthouse, saying goodbye to Jasmine. Ruby first had to go to his mother's house and ask for permission to be away for the time being. Of course, he used Gold as an excuse for the problem. His mother accepted, and they were both ready to go to Cianwood. This is, until they came across the beach.

"How are we going to cross it?" Ruby asked the million dollar question. He then heard humming from his left and glanced in that direction. Sweatdropping, he saw Gold using a homemade fishing rod to fish a Pokémon. "Are you serious?"

"Yup."

"You know that that fishing rod won't work. And even if it does work, the best you'll catch will either be a Magikarp or a Tentacool, nothing big enough for both of us to go to Cianwood City at the same time."

Gold stood up, pulling back the fishing line. "I caught one!"

"It's probably a Magikarp, they're everywhere." Ruby pointed out, sighing. But then, when Gold made a strong push, it came out a Mantine out of the water. "WHT THE-?!" Ruby asked, surprised in disbelief to actually see Mantine being fished with a simple fishing rod.

"Electabuzz, go!"

"Erecaru!" Electabuzz came out of the Poké Ball, ready to rumble against the happy-happy opponent.

"Man…!" Mantine released multiple gold seeds surrounded in a light green aura from her mouth at Electabuzz, damaging him a lot. She then flew up into the air.

"Electabuzz, Thunderbolt!"

"Erecaru!" Electabuzz released a thunderbolt from his body, which hit Mantine easily, shocking her. She started breathing heavily and Gold was ready to catch her, using one of the special Poké Balls Kurt had given him. He threw the blue Lure Ball at Mantine, which hit her and absorbed her into it, successfully catching her in a instant.

Gold opened his Poké Ball and said hello to Mantine, weho greeted him back. Electabuzz was withdrawn and Mantine faced the ocean, while Gold withdrew Electabuzz. Gold hopped onto Mantine's bck and then glanced at Ruby.

"So? What are you waiting for? Let's go, Ruby." Gold spoke, making Ruby flinch at first but then approach his new friend. They began swimming towards Cianwood City, and thus, everything began.

"So, where are you from?"

"New Bark Town. How old are you?"

"12, but I'm almost becoming 13."

And the conversation continued on.

Pokémons of the Day:

Ampharos - The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean.

Mantine - Mantine can fly in the air if they build up enough speed, in a similar manner to how real-life manta rays breach the surface, and can soar gracefully out of the water.

With the tests out of the way, I managed towrite yet another chapter ^^ I hope you all enjpoyed. Is Ruby importan?" Either way, don't worry, the next chapter will be very special, because of the introduction of a certain character, so, don't miss it. Well, see you next time. Oh, and please, don't forget to write a review if you don't mind, and also…

Bye, remember, BEAST OUT!
