Now… for those who expected the first Black & White… I'm afraid that it may have to be postponed to the next chapter. Things aren't working out as planned, and as such, I made this Green & Blue instead. Perhaps I'm attempting a Black & White a little too early? For the sake of the completed parts, I'll try to successfully finish that one-shot for next time.

MISC: Currency. Assuming the used currency in the Pokémon Special world is in Pokédollars (PKD), for simplicity, I'll say that it's 200 PKD per 1 USD. I feel that this is reasonable since this makes a Pokéball worth $1, Potion worth $1.5, Full Restore $15, and Protein $49 (ouch). So in Your Move, Gold pays Silver $50 for losing 10 games, and Silver claims that it'll cost $200 to take Soul clothes shopping. Again, seems reasonable.

Primary: Green & Blue.

Fake:

April 20th…

Green sat on the couch in his house, reading the news. He wondered what he would do afterwards, as there was nothing to do. The few people who attempt to challenge him for the Earth Badge were (in his perspective), pitifully weak. So instead of being there personally, he let his hologram take over while he did other things with his main force. He spent his time training, doing research for his grandfather, or training the junior Dex Holders. He would've preferred letting Red help the juniors, but he was always missing. He was probably training in some faraway cave, perhaps getting ready for yet another world-threatening event.

Green rose to his feet, tossing the newspaper aside. Maybe he'd start training too. He didn't want his Pokémon to look sloppy compared to Red's. For a week, there had been rumors that Platinum was going to challenge the Gyms in other regions, which meant that someday, the heiress would come to the Viridian Gym; another reason why Green couldn't just sit and rest.

After ensuring that he had his Pokémon with him, he headed towards the door. But right before his hand touched the door knob, someone knocked on the door. Green froze. Instantly, he stepped away from the door and wondered who would come to his house. His grandfather was at Hoenn, Daisy was probably at Bill's, Red was MIA (Green doubted that he was even in Kanto), Crystal was out with Gold somewhere, and seeing how Yellow and Silver wouldn't visit him in Pallet Town, it was obvious who the visitor was.

Green sighed. Though he was bored, he didn't like the idea of having to spend the day with-

"Green, open the door. I can see you right there!" came Blue's voice from the outside.

Well, so much for training quietly. He sighed again and opened the door. As expected, he saw Blue outside, with her modified Silph Scope. That damned thing caused him so many problems… With that thing on, Blue could see through walls (well, at least see heat signatures from the outside) and see in the dark, which allowed her to sneak into other people's houses at night…

"Hi, Green! It's me, the birthday girl!" Blue said cheerfully, putting the Silph Scope away.

"Yeah, hi…" the Gym Leader trailed off. 'The what?'

"Aren't you going to wish me a happy birthday?"

'I thought her birthday was in June… Or was that someone else? I thought only Crystal's birthday was in this month…'

"Hello? Green?"

'There's no way that today is Blue's birthday. She would've bothered me about it for a month. But what if it is her birthday today? She's going to demand a birthday gift. And once she finds out that I don't know when her birthday is, then… things would be problematic.'

"You didn't know that today was my birthday, did you?" Blue asked, snapping Green from his thoughts.

"Of course I knew," Green replied. "But for a second, I thought your birthday was June 1st for some reason."

"Well, I'm glad that you remember that it's my birthday, so… what'd you get me?"

"Nothing," Green replied. "I've been very busy."

"Oh…" Blue said with a disappointed look. "In that case, how about you grant me whatever request?"

"No."

"It's the least you can do. Besides, the request won't be that hard."

"Within reason?"

"Maybe; depends on your definition of reason."

"What do you want me to do? Marry you?" Green asked sarcastically with a smirk.

"Will you?"

"No."

"In that case, why not just buy me lunch and dinner?" Blue asked.

"Again? I thought I bought you lunch and dinner some 10 times so far."

"Well, you could always take me shoes shopping instead," Blue said with a smile.

"Lunch and dinner it is," the Gym Leader said after a sigh. "I'll… get ready," he said, shutting the door. 'I knew something like this would happen… Damn. How much this time?'

While he checked his wallet to see how much money he had, he doubted that Blue's birthday was today. So he took his Pokégear and called Red.

"Red, this is Green," he said once his friend picked up. "Do you know when Blue's birthday is?"

"Uh… I don't know. Isn't it March 3rd?"

"No, that would be Yellow's," Green replied with a sigh.

"Oh… in that case, I have no clue. Uh… don't tell her that I said that." Suddenly, something exploded in the background. "Sapphire, no! Try to control the power of Blast Burn! Anyways, I need to go."

The Gym Leader sighed and hung up soon afterwards. After a moment of thought, he called someone else.

'Come on, Crystal… pick up.'

But unfortunately, the Johto girl didn't pick up, as she was busy shopping with Gold. Green chose to leave her a voice mail.

"Crystal, this is Green. Call back ASAP!"

The Gym Leader put his Pokégear back in his pocket and headed outside. Blue, who was looking up at the sky, looked at him as he approached. The Gym Leader has his hands stuffed in his pockets and simply walked past her, and sent out his Charizard. As always, Blue ran up to him and put her arm around his. Together, they flew towards Viridian City, so that they may find a suitable restaurant.

But in Viridian, much to Green's relief, there was an opportunity to escape. From the distance, he could see Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

"What are you three doing here?" Green asked, approaching them.

"Ah, seniors Green and Blue! It is great to see you again," Platinum said with a polite bow. "I have begun a journey to challenge the Gyms in other regions, and I have chosen to start with Kanto. Therefore, senior Green, would you please accept my challenge? I wish for a chance to battle you and I would highly appreciate it if you would point out my flaws and weaknesses."

Green noticed that on the end of the heiress's scarf, the Thunder Badge was already pinned. It seemed that the Sinnoh girl had arrived on Vermillion City, plowed through the Gym, and took a shortcut towards Viridian through the Diglett's cave.

"Oh, sorry, Platinum. But Green's busy today," Blue said from beside. "You could challenge him tomorrow."

"Oh… in that case, I shall come back tomorrow," Platinum replied, with a slight hint of disappointment.

"Nonsense, if you'd like, we could have a Gym Battle right now," Green said. "After all, you came a long way for this battle."

"Green, you are busy today," Blue said again.

Platinum flinched when her two seniors suddenly turned to look at her. The heiress instantly realized what was happening. She had to pick either Green or Blue… If she agrees to come back tomorrow, while Blue would be happy, Green would not. If the heiress chose to challenge the Viridian Gym today, then Green would be happy (or not angry), but Blue would not. Platinum found both of her seniors to be very intimidating, although in different ways. To her knowledge, no Dex Holder who got on Blue's nerves (or simply defied her) had gotten away without any repercussion. But on the other hand, no one (except maybe Blue) had gotten away unscathed when Green was angry.

The heiress looked back and forth between her two seniors. She wished that she chose to go to Saffron City instead of heading straight to Viridian.

"Um… Diamond, Pearl, what do you think?" Platinum asked quietly, turning around to face her friends. But to her surprise, the two were nowhere near her, as they ran away upon realizing what would happen. 'Why me?' "Um… p – perhaps a coin toss would help decide?" she suggested, trying to avoid defying any of her seniors.

"Just make a decision," Green said slowly.

The heiress swallowed nervously. If the choice involved just Red and Green, then she could have pretended to cry under the intimidating glares or pretend to faint under the 'harsh' sunlight to avoid making a decision. But Blue would see through all of those ploys. It was now impossible to avoid defying both of her seniors. She now had to pick one over the other.

'If I side with senior Green, then I would have to suffer from senior Blue's plans. Senior Green would not be much help in those situations. But if I side with senior Blue, then I could beg for senior Green's forgiveness later, and senior Blue would be able to help me…' Platinum swallowed nervously again. "I – I shall come back at a later date," she replied quickly and quietly.

Green's eyes narrowed to a glare. "So be it," he said quietly. "I will see you tomorrow then. I won't hold anything back, and you shouldn't either."

Platinum avoided eye-contact with him and looked at Blue. The older girl smiled and gave her an approving nod. The two Kanto Dex Holders continued towards a restaurant, and once they disappeared from view, Platinum dropped to her knees. That was one of the most stressful and terrifying experience she ever had.

"Hey Green," Blue said as she put an arm around the Gym Leader's (who squirmed out of her embrace). "Do you really intend to battle Platinum with everything you have?"

"Yes," Green replied quietly. He then smiled. "I want to see exactly what she is capable of doing. Of course, she's talented, but I want to see exactly how much. Sure, she can't compare to Red, but… we'll see."

"Take it easy on her, Green," Blue said with a worried tone. "You don't want to scare her any more, do you? I think you already scared her enough right now."

"Well, seeing how she took your side during that little encounter, it's obvious that you scared her a lot than me."

Blue suddenly stopped walking. "Am I really that scary?"

"Yes, you are. I got Crystal to take a survey of every Dex Holder. 'Who is the scariest? Red, Green, or Blue?'"

"And?"

"7 votes for you, 3 votes for me, and none for Red."

Blue grinned. "So 3 people don't think I'm scary, huh? Who were they?"

"The Hoenn trio."

The Kanto girl started to laugh. "I guess it's time to show them exactly how scary I can be. More they are afraid of me, the easier it is to order them around."

"You know, there are examples from that past that show the horrific end to terror based ruling."

"I'm not mean to them or anything," Blue objected. "I mean… sure, they're afraid of me, but I still take good care of them, don't I?"

"I suppose so," Green said with a sigh. "Anyways, we're here," he said, pointing to the restaurant ahead.

Blue narrowed her eyes. "What? A fast-food restaurant? You're joking, right?"

"Deal with it."

"But… come on! All the other times you took me to high quality restaurants with non-fattening food!"

"Time for a change, don't you think?" Green said. "Besides, I don't have enough money to go to a 4, 5 star restaurant."

"But… Green!"

"It's either this or back home, Blue."

Blue pouted and crossed her arms. "This is no way to treat a birthday girl…"

Suddenly, Green's Pokégear started to vibrate. The Gym Leader looked at it, and answered. It was Crystal; she was calling back because of the voice mail.

"Yes, Crystal?" he said, taking a glance over at Blue. As expected, she seemed to have flinched and was now listening attentively.

"You… um… you called me?" the Johto girl said rather quietly. For some reason, she sounded a little afraid.

"Yes, I wanted to ask you something. Whose birthday is today?"

"Um… no one, I think."

"Really? When's Blue's birthday?"

"June 1st. Why do you ask?" Crystal asked, sounding very confused.

"Just checking," Green replied. "That is all. You can resume whatever you've been doing with Gold."

"Oh, that's a relief… I was afraid that I did something wrong…" Crystal muttered. "… Wait, what do you mean 'whatever you've been doing'? You're not implying I-"

Green hung up and slowly turned to face Blue. The Kanto girl was looking up at the sky, pretending to be innocent.

"So, I was right all along," Green said slowly. "Your birthday is June 1st. Which means that this is just another one of your plans."

Blue didn't reply, as she was thinking of what she could say.

"Blue, this was an underhanded trick to try to get me to buy you lunch and dinner. Underhanded even for you."

"Green, I-"

"I'm going back home," the Gym Leader said as he sent out his Charizard once more. Blue looked down at the ground in disappointment. "However," Green said. Blue quickly looked at him. "You're free to come with me. I won't be buying anything for you, but I will be making lunch. This is what you were aiming for, right? Your ulterior objective is to spend time with me, yes?"

Blue suddenly blushed. Though she was giving hints, she had never actually said anything about it. And now she felt somewhat embarrassed.

"You have half of a second to consider my offer or I leave you in Viridian, Blue."

The Kanto girl snapped out of her thoughts and quickly climbed onto the Charizard with Green.

"You can't really hate me for trying, right?" she said with a smile. "I mean… can you say that you didn't enjoy spending time with me?" as she expected, Green remained silent as his Pokémon steadily flew towards Pallet Town. "Just as I thought."

"But next time, just say it. Don't try to trick me again."

Next up: Black & White (hopefully). If I am unsuccessful once again, then Gold & Crystal.

Now, assuming the next one-shot is Black & White, then the two following one-shots will be Gold & Crystal, then Diamond & Platinum.
