EDIT: REWRITTEN VERSION!

Hi! This is chapter 4 of WATO? (haha). Like some of you, I'm constantly checking for updates on Pokespe. Hopefully, we'll be able to see some more Johto trio action in HGSS! This isn't my place to say this, but geez…BW is already on its sixth chapter. And we haven't seen ANY HGSS yet! Sigh…I'll just have to keep waiting. I'm also waiting PATIENTLY for a RSE remake. Sapphire was my first game so it'll make me as happy as hell for a remake. (my Sapphire was stolen! On New Year's Eve too…)

Disclaimer: Never ever.

What Are The Odds?

Chapter 3: Take me there (dumb title)

~The next day~

Silver prepared to leave on his Honchkrow. He noted that his father had left to get some fresh air, probably in the forest. The red-haired boy ascended, hoping his father wouldn't do anything rash…again.

~15 min. later~

Silver's P.O.V.

I finally landed in peaceful New Bark town. It's hard to believe that Gold, the loud, energetic, annoying guy, was born and raised here. As I walked over to the guy's house, I passed by the Elm laboratory. The memories hit me hard. Stealing Totodile (now my trusted partner next to Weavile), battling with Gold for the first time…even the newer memories like going there to apologize to them, being so nervous of what they'll…

Anyways, I walked to the guy's house and rung the doorbell. I heard sounds indicating that someone was walking a long way just to get to the door. Finally, a woman with a headband came out.

"Hello."

"Um…hello…is Gold here?"

"Oh, you must be one of Gold's friends!"

Not exactly a friend…

"Sorry, he's not here. He's in Viridian city in Kanto."

What! Of course, I didn't yell. But didn't he say he was going home?

"Why don't you wait for him inside? He'll be back eventually."

Eventually? ! Ohhh no. I am not going in there.

…

"Oh my GOD…Silver, are you invading my house? !" said a paranoid imaginary Gold, "MOM! I THINK SILVER IS INTERESTED IN ME!"

Awkward…

"No thanks…I'll look for him there."

With that said, I took off into the sky once again to look for Gold.

~15 min. later (again)~

Normal P.O.V.

Once again in his hometown, Silver searches for his rival. No avail. "He must have left for home…"

Walking around town, the Trader spotted a woman with long scarlet hair in one of the windows. He stared at the woman for a little while before shaking his head.

'Stop it, Silver…there's no one out there who could be my mother…'

And so, he took off on his Honchkrow, leaving the look-a-like woman behind.

For the second time that day, Silver landed in New Bark town, but fortunately this time…

"Huh? Silver! It's you again!"

Silver didn't exactly know what to say, so he waited for the other boy to say something.

"Well…I actually had a good idea I wanted to share."

That he could respond to.

"Actually, I have something I want to say too." Silver replied.

"Then we should go inside. I just came back from Viridian. I stayed because it was dark."

'Oh.'

The two boys walked inside and found a note stuck to the door.

"It's from mom." Gold started to read the letter aloud:

Hi, Gold!

I just went out with a friend to the town square. I'll be back real soon.

From,

Mom

P.S. I fed the Pokemon.

"Okay then!" Gold exclaimed, carelessly tossing the letter to the side, much to Silver's dismay.

"…In her letter, she wrote 'went out with a friend'…" Silver pointed out half-mindedly.

Gold jerked his head. "What are you trying to say?"

The trader was taken back a little due to the seriousness written all over Gold's face. After all, from the six years Silver had known Gold, Gold was generally NEVER serious-mostly the opposite.

"…Never mind."

Gold stared at him for a while then dismissed the idea. The two went upstairs.

Gold's P.O.V.

"…In her letter, she wrote 'went out with a friend'…"

I froze in spot and turned to him. "What are you trying to say?"

Silver couldn't be implying that my mom went off with some random idiot! When I said that, I had no control. Weird. Silver must've noticed that too since he looked pretty surprised.

"…Never mind." He said. I looked at him. It looks like Silver regrets what he said…I guess I'll think about that later…I started going up the stairs with him following me.

Normal P.O.V.

Gold sat down in his comfy chair, motioning to a chair beside it for Silver to sit in.

"So…what's this about, Silv?"

Silver twitched. He hated it when people called him that- Blue as an exception, of course. He liked it when people called him by his real name. Silver-The name his father, and oddly enough, Blue gave him.

"Well, Gold…I just wanted to…apologize for yesterday."

Gold was quiet. Silver was worried. 'Why isn't he saying anything?'

Just then, Gold started laughing boisterously.

Silver almost jumped in his seat. "What's so funny?" he half-yelled at the outburst.

"Ah…ahaha…it's just that…you never apologize to me! That kinda situation is pretty much normal to me now!"

Silver was once again, left speechless. Gold just had that kind of effect on him. So he decided to say: "What were you going to say, Gold?"

"Huh?...Oh right! I was thinking of planning a vacation for you, me, and Crys."

"Oh. Yeah, the seniors went on vacation…"

~Flashback~

"I'm going on a vacation with Red and Green!" Blue announced in her usual bubbly voice.

"That's great, Blue," Silver replied through the pokegear, "When will you return?"

"In about a week."

"Alright. See you soon?"

"Of course. Bye, Silv!"

"Have a safe trip."

Both hung up.
