Chapter 8

Silver's POV

Celebi.

Why did this have to happen to me? Seriously. Of all the people the Pokemon could have had Copper stalk, it picked me. Arceus, she must think I'm weak. Or worse, a victim.

I am not a victim. Yes, things have happened, but I'm not suffering anymore, am I? The past is the past.

"Back in Azalea Town, Kurt gave me the GS Ball. I had no idea what it was supposed to be used for, and then I moved on to go through the Ilex Forest," Copper explained, "I came across the shrine, and upon it the words 'Live Now or Die Forever' were enscribed. I thought it was really weird at first, but then that Celebi appeared and took me places. Silver, I get you. I can't fully empathize because I haven't been there, but I understand why you treat people the way you do. I am sorry for your pain. But, going back on what the shrine said, you're dying. All the time, you're dying. Every Arceus-be-damned second, you die a bit more. You need to breathe. You need to live. And you need to live now or else you're gonna keep dying forever!"

I couldn't bring myself to say anything after her little tirade. Wow. What exactly was she trying to do here?

"I get why you need to stop Team Rocket. Your parents, they're evil people that need to pay for their actions," Copper panted out. She was so wound up that she exhausted herself. "At the same time, you need to take a step back and realize what Lance and I have been trying to tell you this entire time, and that is to not treat your Pokemon and the people around you like your parents have treated you! Look at your Golbat. You're wondering why he hasn't evolved? It's because you don't give him the love he needs! Take a break, Silver, and try to patch things up with them."

That girl….was so right. Tears welled up in my eyes. I can't believe I've been repeating the fucking cycle. What the hell is wrong with me? While I was too busy pitying myself, I was leaving my Pokemon in the dust. And I also left her like this. Can't I ever do something right?

"Copper," I choked out, "You're…right. I need to stop. I need to stop doing this. I need to stop doing this now."

"Silver," Copper came closer. I was stunned that she would do that after all that I have done to her. "I'm here for you. But we haven't got a lot of time. We're still in the middle of a crisis."

True, I thought. My mother's grunts were trying to take over the Johto region at the moment. "What about my Pokemon?"

"Take them to a peaceful place," she consoled me, "Get away from this whole Team Rocket mess. Right now, you need to focus on them. I'll handle this."

"You know, I really hate being dependent on someone," I countered, "I always get screwed over."

"Silver, don't worry about it," Copper said, "Just be more concerned about those Pokemon of yours. Mine love me. It's time yours loved you."

Copper started to go further down the underground. "Wait!" I shouted.

She then looked back at me, "What?"

"I can't stand seeing you wear that." I ran to her and pulled up her shirt.

"What the heck are you-?" she exclaimed, but didn't get to finish her sentence due to the kiss I had planted on her lips. It was a very sedate kiss, but then again, it was my first.

I broke away. "Wait,"I said, "we have a task at hand." I then pulled the sleeves off of her body to reveal….a bra. She has enough breasts to wear a bra already?

"Silver, this is embarrassing!" she whispered to me.

"It's ok," I whispered back, "You did bring your normal clothes, right?"

"Ummm….," she blushed, her blonde hair flipping over her face. Oh no she didn't.

"Copper. Why didn't you bring clothes with you."

"I accidentally left them with the man who gave me the uniform," she whispered. I felt like I was ready to smack her. But alas, I can't. I have to learn how to control myself, and now is a good time to start. Sighing, I took off my shirt, and saw how big it was in comparison to her body. I was pretty big in comparison to her. That shirt would be a dress on her. I guess that will do until she gets another outfit.

"Take this," I handed her the long sleeved shirt, "It's pretty long so you can get away without wearing pants. I see you're wearing okay shoes, so I'll let you keep those." She took it without a word. I guess I seriously offended her. "Also, I'm sorry. For everything."

"Silver, if I didn't forgive you, you would know it," Copper smiled as she buttoned up the shirt I gave her, "Just don't be an asshole from now on. Give me my Pokemon and I guess I'll get going."

I handed her the shoulder bag that she always carried. Inside were five regular Poke Balls and of course, the GS Ball. "I guess Celebi went back into its Ball?"

"I guess so," she replied with a big, goofy grin on her face. I couldn't help to smile back. Grinning like two kids who have been going at it…

…until we heard the door at the top of the stairs swing open.

"Okay, I need to go," she hurried towards me and gave me another kiss, shockingly. Did not think she would do that. "I'll see you around."

I only stared as the girl of my dreams disappeared to fight my worst enemy. She made everything I lacked crystal clear to me; I need to treat others better. Letting all of my Pokemon out of their balls, I smiled at them. They all looked horribly confused, like I was about to punish them or something.

"Let's go see that one guy," I said with a smile, "That ginger dragon trainer." I then led them up the stairs to our new life.

END CHAPTER 8

Whew! YAY ALL OF THE SCRIPTED STUFF IS DONE! Finally….now I can get on to the really sexy things. And let AJ have his cake that he never got after Chapter 6. My best friend caught me on that. Anyways, beware, in between this chapter and next is a seven year time gap. Within that time, Copper beats the Johto Elite Four, beats all eight Kanto leaders and Red, and ends up setting up residence with Red on Mt. Silver so that he doesn't feel lonely. Red is more like a brother to Copper than anything. Silver lives with Lance, AJ, Clair, and their grandfather, Jamie, for the next seven years in the Dragon's Den. They later find out that through Ariana's side that Lance and AJ are Silver's third cousins twice removed. Two years ago, they got another boarder at the Dragon's Den: N. He has lived there since his escape from Unova along with his Reshiram. After seven years, the story continues….
