This is the first one-shot of the Diamond & Platinum burst. This one-shot is not related to any other one-shot so far.

MISC: Nicknames.

I'll follow Coronis's nicknaming schemes (example: Sapphire's Blaziken as Chaka, Gold's Typhlosion as Explotaro). The hell with the 'official' nicknames (example: Gold's Typhlosion as Exbo?). If there are some… problems with those nicknames, then I'll use the original ones (example: Sapphire's Blaziken as Chamo, Gold's Typhlosion as Bakutarou).

This also means that some characters' names will be in Coronis's translation. Such as… Jagura (the little midget that constantly got his ass kicked) and Courtney (Magma Admin, appears in Ruby version). Once again, if there are problems, then I'll use the original ones (Jagura as Chakura, Courtney as Kagari).

Primary: Diamond & Platinum.

The Wedding:

Dex Holders' emergency meeting, Pallet Town…

Blue sat at a large table, lost in deep thought as the other Dex Holders looked at her. She had been the one to call for this emergency meeting, and several Dex Holders wanted to know why. However, the Sinnoh Dex Holders were not there, as the emergency regarded them.

"As some of you may know," Blue started slowly. "Platinum is getting married in 4 days."

The other Dex Holders remained silent, but Crystal sighed. She had heard the news with Blue, and she also knew of the problem with the marriage.

"She's marrying some rich guy who will inherit a big company," Blue continued. "But yesterday, Platinum came to me and Crys and told us that she really doesn't want to marry him. She already tried to convince her father, but apparently it hasn't worked out. Her father says that it's the best for her, and won't allow her to back out. She wants us to help her, and that's why I called for this meeting."

Crystal closed her eyes and recalled when Platinum came to her. The heiress was crying so much, saying that she loved Diamond and only him and that she wouldn't marry anyone else. But she couldn't disobey her father so she has no choice but to marry someone she doesn't like in any way. But what made her cry the most was Diamond. Ever since he heard of her wedding, he had been ignoring her completely. Platinum felt that she really needed to talk to him, but he never answered her calls or opened the door whenever she tried to visit. The heiress was really afraid of losing him and felt as if her life was falling apart. Crystal sighed once again and focused on the meeting.

"So what are we going to do?" Sapphire asked.

"Simple," Blue replied after a moment of thought. "We secretly intervene. The wedding is in 4 days so we have to hurry. First, Red and Green, go to Hearthome City and find where the wedding will take place, and draw a detailed map with all possible escape routes."

Red and Green looked at each other, wondering why exactly they had to take orders. Red simply shrugged and Green sighed, but they agreed to do as told.

"Next… Yellow, go to Platinum and try to calm her down. Tell her that we'll ensure that she won't be marrying her 'fiancée' but that she needs to pretend that she doesn't know anything. She'll understand and know exactly what to do. And tell her that when the time comes, she needs to slap her fiancée as hard as she can. Next, Silver and Sapphire, go find out where Platinum's fiancée lives, but don't be seen. I'll give you the specific instructions before you leave, but you'll need to complete that task within two days. Gold and Crys, go find Soul and tell her to wait for me in her home tomorrow, and stay with her. Tell her that it's important, and it's related to Platinum. She met her a few times before, so she should be more than willing to help. And last, Ruby and Emerald, once Red and Green return, you'll go to Hearthome City and do exactly as I tell you."

Blue took a deep breath and closed her eyes, going over her plan in her head. Once she was certain that her plan would work, she smiled and continued.

"Gold, you're the best at ruining fancy parties, so you'll get the most important role."

4 days later, 3 hours before the wedding…

Diamond stared through the windows in his home, with a blank expression on his face. Platinum was getting married… She was his girlfriend for so long, and all of a sudden she was marrying someone else. He felt so betrayed… Platinum had called him several times, but he didn't answer or call back. Several times he heard someone knock on the door, and from the gentle knocks, he could tell that it was the heiress trying to reach him. She would knock on his door for a couple of hours before she would go away. And this happened rather frequently.

A few times when Pearl came to visit, he let him in once he was sure that Platinum was not nearby. The hasty Dex Holder understood what his friend was going through, and tried to cheer him up through comedy acts and taking him to comedy festivals (such as the one last night). He made no mention of Platinum or the wedding, as he knew that it would just make things worse.

And now the day had finally come. Though an invitation card did arrive on his doorstep, he tore it apart and threw the remains into the garbage. There was no way in hell that he would go to the wedding. He had absolutely no intention of seeing Platinum in a (no doubt) stunning dress, marrying some jerk that he had never seen before.

Suddenly a door knock snapped him out of his thoughts. From the gentle knocks, he knew it wasn't Pearl (whose knocks sound as if he'd break the door open), so he chose to ignore it. The door knocks continued a few more times before stopping. Diamond sighed. If it was Platinum, then he had just lost the last chance he had of talking to her. He knew that once she got married, he would avoid seeing her forever. But a familiar looking Butterfree appeared outside his windows, carrying Yellow who was waving at him.

'What the…' Diamond looked at his senior curiously. 'What's she doing here?'

Yellow pointed at the door, signaling him to open. Diamond hesitated for a while before he walked downstairs to comply. He guessed that there was a good reason why his senior was here.

Meanwhile, Berlitz Mansion…

Platinum stood nervously as various maids were helping her with the wedding dress. Yellow had come to her a few days ago and told her that everything would be alright because Blue had a plan. The heiress didn't understand what her senior meant by 'slapping the fiancée as hard as possible when the time comes' but remembered it nonetheless. She had absolutely no idea what her seniors intended to do, but she had hoped that the solution would arrive before the marriage ceremony. But apparently that was not the case.

"Please hurry…" she muttered silently.

"We are trying, my lady," one of the maids replied. "But the dress is very delicate."

Platinum almost jumped in surprise, as she wasn't talking to the maids. She was wishing that her seniors would hurry, but spoke it out loud unconsciously. Luckily the maids didn't understand what she actually meant.

With a sigh, she looked at the direction of Twinleaf Town. Last night, she was over there trying to talk to Diamond one last time. She was there for hours, knocking constantly even after her hands hurt. Though she had cried out his name many times, there was no sign of movement inside. She had gone over to Pearl's house, but he was not home as well. The heiress feared that Pearl had dragged Diamond away on a journey so that he may forget about her entirely.

Platinum felt tears falling from her eyes. She didn't bother trying to stop or wipe them away. She couldn't bear the idea of losing Diamond. She just couldn't. The tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto her dress. Without warning, she started to sob. The maids suddenly looked up at her in surprise.

"Are you okay, my lady?"

Platinum shook her head as she buried her face into her hands. The clueless and senseless maids tried to 'comfort' her.

"I understand that this is a big and important moment for you, my lady, but please stop crying. The carriage will arrive in a minute and you will be able to see your loving fiancée before the wedding."

Platinum trembled as anger and frustration erupted. Angry words and insults ran through her mind (language she picked up from Gold, much to Crystal's dismay). 'No, you f*cking dumbass maids! I don't want to marry that ugly, arrogant, stupid son of a bitch of a fiancée! I HATE him, damn it!' Of course, she would never say such things out loud, in the fear that she'll give her father and the old butler Sebastian heart attacks (they were waiting just outside the room). Platinum kept her mouth shut and tried to calm her anger. But she felt more and more despair as time came for her to get on the carriage…

Few hours later…

Platinum stood at the altar, trembling. She was trying her absolute best to not cry, but the disappointment of her seniors not doing anything was too much. Her vision was blurring with tears. It was a good thing that her moron of a fiancée didn't notice.

"Lady Berlitz," said the elderly priest quietly. Platinum looked at him. "Take a deep breath. Everything will be alright."

'Alright? Everything is NOT alright…' Platinum grumbled in her mind. She faked a smile and nodded. But… the priest was grinning, and the way he was grinning felt rather familiar… The heiress looked at the priest from head to toe. Then she noticed something odd. On the priest's robe, to the side, she could see what appeared to be a handle of a billiard cue… 'Senior Gold?' Platinum smiled for real. 'So everything WILL be alright, after all!'

Soon, the wedding process began. The heiress waited nervously for the intervention to begin while her idiot fiancée just grinned.

"If there is anyone who has cause why these two should not wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their tongue," said the priest.

Platinum held her breath, expecting someone to rise and say something. But to her horror, no one rose to intervene. She risked a glance at the seats. She couldn't see a single Dex Holder… She looked at the priest. He smiled and gave her a faint nod.

Much to her joy, the 'intervention' began shortly.

"Do you," started the priest, looking at the fiancée. "Er… whatever your name is, take Platinum Berlitz for your wife?"

The fiancée narrowed his eyes. He was about to speak when the priest interrupted him.

"Of course you don't," the priest said somewhat angrily. "You know, I tried to remain quiet about this, but there's something I need to say."

Platinum desperately tried to appear calm and questioning, while she was overjoyed inside. She was supposed to be upset because the 'best day of her life' was being ruined.

"Yesterday, I saw you doing some… things, and I can't let this young lady marry you without knowing this," the priest started with a disgusted look. "Hey, bring that projector here," he suddenly yelled.

The heiress watched with interest as a servant and a maid pulled what appeared to be a video projector. Though they were in disguise, Platinum had been with them long enough to recognize the two as her seniors, Ruby and Sapphire.

"What is all this?" the fiancée yelled angrily.

"I saw you yesterday. You were doing such a heinous act that I had no choice but to record it on a video. If I didn't recognize you, I wouldn't have, but…"

The video started to play (being displayed by the projector) and Platinum looked with interest. The quality was quite low, but she recognized her moron fiancée, and though disguised (and hair dyed blue), she recognized Soul. In the video, her fiancée was busy trying to seduce her. Soul kept pushing him away but he pulled her by her hair and attempted to kiss her. Though Platinum assumed that the video was fake (if the video was real, then Silver would've snapped the fiancée in half), the voice and appearance of the fiancée were perfect.

"I – I never did that!" the fiancée yelled.

While the fiancée frantically tried to explain himself, Platinum snapped out of her thoughts when the priest gave her a nod. She remembered what she had to do, and tried to get herself as angry as possible.

"You cheated on me before you even married me!" the heiress screamed at her fiancée. Before he could even say a single word, she slapped him as hard as she could. 'That probably hurt quite a bit.' Afterwards, she burst into tears (tears of happiness, but no one else could tell) and ran off through the back door.

"Shame on you, you freak!" the priest yelled into the fiancée's face before he ran after the heiress.

Several people from the fiancée's side rose to their feet, starting to panic. The people on the Berlitz side were stunned speechless. Shortly after the priest exited the room, the fiancée started to chase her.

Once Platinum was out of the wedding room, she ran into Crystal who was waiting for her outside. They waited until the priest came out as well, and the three started to run. On the way, the priest's face started to melt. Platinum looked at him in surprise, and noticed that the face that was melting off was a Ditto (Blue's, obviously), revealing Gold's grinning face. He took off the voice modulator and stuffed it in his pocket.

"Good job, Gold," Crystal said as she led Platinum around a corner.

"Thank you so much, senior Gold," the heiress said happily.

"Don't thank me yet," Gold said.

Before long, they came across a fork in the hallway. Crystal reached into her bag and took out a pair of shoes. She turned to her junior and gave them to her.

"Take your high heels off. You'll run better with these shoes."

Platinum quickly stepped out of her high heels and put the shoes on. Crystal then took the high heels and threw one of them to the left hallway and headed right. The heiress and Gold followed. A few seconds later, the fiancée arrived at the intersection. He looked left and right, wondering where Platinum could have gone. Seeing how one of her high heels was on the left hallway, he assumed that she ran that way and ran after her. But a few seconds into that hall, the ground suddenly broke beneath him and he fell into a hole (a trap made by Ruby and Emerald).

Before long, the fiancée managed to crawl out of the hole. Realizing that he was tricked, he changed directions and ran down the path which Platinum actually took. A minute later, he came across another fork in the hallway. He could see the remaining high heel on the left hallway. Smirking, he headed right, thinking that he wouldn't be fooled twice. But a few steps around the corner and the ground collapsed beneath him once again.

Cursing, he climbed back out and resumed his pursuit. He really wanted Platinum and he was desperate to prove to her that the tape was a fake. A minute later, he stopped running. A huge section of the floor was colored slightly differently. 3 tiles, within jumping distance of each other, were colored regularly.

The fiancée smiled. It was obviously a trap. Since the hallway he was on was the only path, there was no doubt that Platinum came here. The fiancée carefully crept closer and put just a little weight on the differently colored tile. As he expected, the floor started to creak loudly and sank a few centimeters. Laughing, he stepped back. He took aim at the regularly colored tile and leapt forward. As he expected, the tile remained firm. He carefully regained balance and leapt for the second tile.

The tile sank slightly when his foot landed on it, but nothing else happened. The fiancée sighed in relief… Then the tiles on the ceiling fell down on his head. The tiles were quite heavy and they knocked him down to the different colored part of the floor. To his surprise, the floor sank another centimeter but nothing else.

Realizing that he was tricked again, the fiancée crawled away and rose to his feet. Whoever planned these traps were predicting his movements completely… Afraid of what might happen if he were to continue the pursuit, the fiancée gave up and slowly walked away. Then he stopped.

'This is what they expect me to do!' he thought. With a smirk, he turned around and bolted through the trap, continuing the pursuit.

Meanwhile, Platinum tried to regain her breath as her two seniors led her to a stop. She looked around, but it was a dead end.

"What now, senior?" she asked Crystal.

Gold simply knocked on the wall. To the heiress's surprise, the wall started to open. Outside, Red and Green waited for them, using their Snorlax and Machamp to open neatly cut sections of the wall.

Recognizing her seniors, Platinum smiled brightly and ran towards them. Once Gold and Crystal were out as well, Red and Green closed the wall and sealed it shut. A few seconds later, a large carriage turned around a corner and stopped right in front of the heiress. To her surprise, the driver of the carriage was Blue.

"Hey, Platinum! You're looking beautiful today!" her senior said happily.

Blue got off and opened the door, signaling the heiress to get on. She followed her junior shortly after.

"Green, take over," she commanded before shutting the carriage door.

With a sigh, Green tossed the Pokéball containing his Charizard to Red before he got onto the driver's seat of the carriage. He looked at the two Rapidash pulling the carriage and simply told them to run as fast as possible.

Red, Gold and Crystal stayed behind and waited. Before too long, Ruby and Sapphire arrived, having escaped through the front door. Sapphire had her Tropius, so Red tossed Charizard's Pokéball to Ruby. All 5 Dex Holders flew towards the carriage and followed.

Meanwhile, Blue explained to Platinum what happened. Upon hearing of the heiress's wedding, the older girl had sent Silver and Sapphire to spy on the fiancée, recording his appearance on a video and the voice as well. Those two were sent because they were the best at concealing themselves. Next, with the recorded voice and appearance, Blue got her Ditto to Transform into a mask with the fiancée's face, and made a voice modulator to match the voice. With them, she gave Gold the tools to dress up like the fiancée. Blue had already explained to Soul what she intended to do, and with Emerald's help, recorded a small video clip that had Gold (dressed like the fiancée) trying to seduce her.

Afterwards, Blue studied the map of the building in which the wedding would take place, and saw that the rear exit didn't have that many forks in the hallways. She sent Ruby and Emerald over there to make some traps. To ensure that no one else fell into the traps, they had made signs that the rear exit was being closed off for cleaning. During the wedding ceremony, Crystal was told to remove those signs. Blue had also told her where the traps were set, and how she should lure the fiancée into falling into them.

Then she used some Pokémon to cut off a section of the wall near the dead end and cleaned around the area to make it look normal. Then she had Red and Green to stand by the new door and opened it once Gold gave the signal. And Blue had told Ruby and Sapphire to seal off the path back to the wedding room with a big fake wall (essentially a massive cardboard wall that's been painted to look like a piece of the wall, to be adhered to the door) once they heard the fiancée fall into the second hole. Blue had already told Crystal to do the same with the building's rear exit, effectively making it appear that there was no way out.

Platinum thanked her seniors over and over for the rescue. She felt so happy that she didn't have to marry someone that she detested. Blue smiled and nodded, but she didn't tell her the entirety of her plan.

Around 3 hours later, the carriage came to a stop in front of a house. Platinum carefully stepped out and looked around. She recognized the place as Twinleaf Town…

Suddenly, the door of the house opened and Silver appeared on the doorway. He let the 8 Dex Holders (Red, Green, Blue, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Platinum) inside before shutting the door once more.

Platinum thanked each and every one of her seniors for saving her. When she got to Yellow (who was last), she suddenly stopped. Her senior smiled and took a few steps back. The heiress was frozen in place, looking at…

"D – Diamond?"

Diamond too, was frozen in place, looking back at her. Yellow had told him of Blue's plan, but he was skeptical about it. He had suspicions that Yellow was only saying it to make him feel better. But seeing the heiress now in her stunning dress stunned him.

Platinum burst into tears and ran towards him, embracing him tight. Diamond snapped out and hugged her back, apologizing for being so cold to her for the past few days. The heiress apologized to him for not explaining to him what was happening. She kissed him to prove that she loved him, and he kissed her back. The heiress cried onto his chest, with tears of happiness streaming down her cheeks…

Next up, the #2 of the DPt burst, is the 'tomorrow' that was mentioned in Ski Trip. Planned to be titled as "The Horror" (or a variation), but there is nothing horrifying about it.

Post Ending:

5 hours later…

"Where the hell did she go? And where's the exit? I don't get it! HELP!"
