DISCLAMER: I DON'T OWN POKEMON ADVENTURES

CHAPTER 5: Babysitting

It's a rainy day in New Bark Town and it's been like since last Monday. In the Kurama residence or also known as Pokemon mansion of the town, there found a brunette girl lazily watching the rain outside and a quiet red-headed boy at the kitchen making something edible.

"So, your mother still hired you a babysitter for you age?" Silver asked. "And I'm the one she hires."

"Uh huh…it's kind of annoying really, they even let me stay at a friend of my mom's back in Kanto." Lyra pouted staring at the raindrop by the windowsill.

"By the way, what day is it today?" Lyra asked lazily as she walked toward the couch and slouched lazily.

"Wednesday." Silver said, cooking some congee at the kitchen. "Say, where do you put your spices?"

"Who knows…" Lyra pouted, her eyes half-opened and decided to take a look at her friend.

"Nevermind I found it anyway." Silver said and noticed Lyra looking at the pot curiously.

"What are you making?" Lyra asked as her eyes sparkles in sudden excitement, herl aid-back attitude a few minutes ago was replaced by a sudden craving to fill hunger.

"Congee." Silver replied blankly. "You know I'm starting to take back what I said in the first we all met,"

"What's that?" Lyra asked.

"That you're the opposite of Gold, in fact you're Gold in a younger, more innocent and girly state? I don't know." Silver said confused of his words, that he'll remove that for now.

"That's nice thing for you to say!" Lyra said blushing as she startstwirling her pigtails for boredom.

"By the way, I think the reason you've been hired because you can't even do it on your own." Silver said in his cool, emotionless tone, the tone only Gold will get it from him.

"What are you saying? I can't handle myself!" Lyra yelled and pouted at Silver. "F.Y.I. Silver, I KNOW how to cook! I know how to fry an egg and make a salad!"

Silver widened his eyes then smirked as he poked Lyra on the forehead. "I'm not judging you, I'm just testing if my hypothesis is right." He put two bowls full of hot congee and placed it at the table. "And knowing the results I was right, now let's eat Lunch."

Lyra took a seat and eat the congee. "and the result is?" she asked.

"That you are indeed Gold's little sister." Silver said smirking. "Attitudes the same once they got used to the person, the sensitive and rowdy attitude if they're being insulted or criticized.. So like Gold."

"I accept the compliment." Lyra said laughing as well.

2 days ago…

"Gold, Crystal came to see you!" Mrs. Kurama called the boy who's been playing with his laptop upstairs. Gold quickly went down as the name Crystal went to his head.

"Super serious ga—" Gold start to open his arms for a big hug but Crystal beat her and kicked her right in the face.

"Don't call me that, pervert!" Crystal yelled blushing a little. Mrs. Kurama just continued at her chores ignoring her son's pain and Lyra just continue to groom her pokemons in the living room. "Anyway, start packing! We're leaving!"

"Why? Where we going?" Gold asked as he washed his face at the sink to remove the dirt from Crystal's shoe.

"At Sinnoh, You're going to accompany me there for 2 weeks!" Crystal said.

"Why?" Gold asked. "Why should I accompany you?"

"I want someone to be with me at Sinnoh." Crystal said.

"There's Dia, Platina and Pearl to assist you." Gold said.

"They're busy persons, I don't want to be a bother." Crystal said blushing a little. "You're the only person I know who have free time every day."

"You should go with her sweetie," Mrs. Kurama said going down the stairs carrying a large backpack and handed it to Gold. "Do some errands for me as well and bring a lot of rare merchandise and pictures for me will you?"

"Since you already packed and gave me errands, I don't have a choice" Gold said checking the bag if he got enough stuff for two weeks and looked at Crystal. "Guess I'll be your escort for 2 weeks serious gal. I'll try my best to help you and survive the heavy paper works in case you need it." He saluted to the bluenette about to leave.

"I almost forgot I have to go with my friends tomorrow for a mini vacation to Hoenn." Mrs. Kurama said as she giggled and made Gold and Crystal come back.

"What?" Gold yelled. "You're gonna leave Lyra alone?"

"Don't worry, I'll just hired a babysitter for Lyra."Mrs. Kurama said getting her PokeNav.

Mrs. Kurama began to dial someone on the Pokenav, leaving Crystal and Gold watching curiously as she talked and Lyra still continued to groom her pokemons Pan-chan. They never knew who the mother is talking to because of the nicknames she gave to the receiver such as 'sweetie' and 'honey'. Making Gold's heart thump in nervousness and frustration that Crystal patted his back as she noticed her companion's face.

"So, mom who did you hire?" Gold asked .

"Silver." Mrs. Kurama replied smiling.

"What?" the siblings both yelled, Gold had a surprised look and Lyra is blushing red.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Kurama asked curiously.

"From all people, why Silver?" Gold asked furiously.

"Lyra and Silver gets along quite well and we've known him since 6 years ago." Mrs. Kurama said, ignoring her son's attitude.

"That's it! I'm staying here! I'm very sorry Crys…"Gold said furiously and looked at Crystal with a sad look.

"It's fine I understand—"" Crystal stopped as she saw Mrs. Kurama behind Gold.

"Gold! I want those pictures and items from Sinnoh and you're gonna bring it to me whether you like it or not!" Mrs. Kurama yelled in her big voice. Her eyes were on fire and made Gold flinched and nodded terrified. Mrs. Kurama then return to normal and kissed Gold by the cheek. "You behave now okay?" she looked at Crystal. "Crystal, be sure to let him do the errands first before he starts doing something reckless okay?"

"Yes ma'am!" Crystal said terrified as well.

"If you're worried about Silver, don't be! I'm sure he had respect for everyone including your sister." Mrs. Kurama said, guiding Gold and Crystal outside. "Now bring me a lot of stuff darling!"

Gold sighed and waved to his family. He trusted her mom at everything so he just let go and be try to be calm for the rest of his trip. Gold and Crystal let out their flying pokemons and began flying to Olivine city.

…at the Present…

"Say, Silver do you wanna taste my macaroni salad, I made it yesterday. " Lyra said getting a big bowl in fridge. "It's more delicious when it's cold. All my pokemons love it!" She gave a plateful of salad to the red-head. Before eating it, Silver looked at the serving, he just suddenly have a craving looking at it. He took a bite and placed down the spoon and his Weavile approached and tasted it as well. Silver gave a satisfying look and smiled for once. Lyra blushed as she waits for the criticism of her friend.

"Not bad." Silver said. "But you put too much milk so it turns out creamy and too melty but overall not bad and have a nice blend of sweetness." Weavile also nodded happily.

Lyra nodded and hugged Silver quickly causing Silver to almost fall to his seat. Luckily, Weavile was quick enough to catch the chair from behind. "Thank you! I can accept the 'not bad' compliment. I'm so happy it's not delicious!" Silver turned beet red at the hug Lyra just gave. Lyra released her grip and smiled brightly.

"Just of curiousity Lyra, did Gold ever tasted your cooking?" Silver asked.

"Once,he said it was good but he suddenly go to the bathroom and began to puke." Lyra said sadly.

"What did you put on that dish maybe some ingredients that don't go well together?" Silver asked.

"I put vinegar as a flavor." Lyra said innocently and made Silver choked surprisingly. "Teach me how to cook Silver-kun!"

"I can't teach you how to cook because I'm not that great myself but you can ask Diamond." Silver said recovering. His pokenav suddenly ring so he took his device and his message, seeing Gold had texted him another one.

To: Silver

From: Gold

Keep my sister safe at all times! :( If not, you're gonna feel my wrath! Bleh just kidding! :P XD

Silver had an annoying look as he looked at the screen. "This is the 10th time he texted me this message." He said irritably.

"That's just my brother, don't worry about that." Lyra said eating her salad calmly.

"Yeah, it's kind of annoying." Sliver said checking the weather report next. "Tomorrow's sunny,"

"Yeah? So?" Lyra asked distracted at her Marill's blue round tail poking her sleeping Dewgong's face.

"Since I can't teach you cooking lesson, I'm gonna teach you Battle lessons." Silver said, smirking. I'll invite you tomorrow for a friendly battle to exercise your pokemon for new attacks. As your senior, I can't let your pokemons idle and not be stronger now that I just remembered you took gym battles."

Lyra blushed a little at Silver's sudden offer of helping her train her pokemons and without hesitation she agreed to it.
