DISCLAMER: I DON'T OWN POKEMON ADVENTURES.

CHAPTER 6: Training

Silver woke up in the guest room of the Kurama residence. The sun was shining brightly as he got dressed and on making breakfast it's not because he is the babysitter. He is the one making breakfast for himself or sometimes for Blue. As he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Lyra frying some eggs and clearly making breakfast.

"Oh Silver, good morning!" Lyra said happily cooking. "You thought I was still asleep like my brother. Well, you're wrong!" she then hummed happily.

"Yeah, no kidding." Silver said unimpressed. He don't care if he cook or not. He grabbed a glass of water. "I don't see the reason your mother still hires someone to babysit you even you know how to live." He sat down at the chair waiting for the meal.

"I only cook breakfast so that's the problem ehehe…" Lyra said and start to smiled awkwardly.

"Oh…you can just eat outside." Silver suggested.

"I don't like wasting money." Lyra said as she served breakfast. "And I am not a fan of foods hat's not homemade and I don't like eating outside that much." Silver just nodded agreeing to it and started eating. To his surprise, he likes it, the egg's just right and he just continued eating showing no happiness whatsoever.

"By the way, are you curious how eggs come from?" Lyra began and Silver put his attention to her. "I mean, our local milk comes from Miltanks but what about eggs?"

"I don't know, how about ask Gold about it?" Silver said, not caring at all.

"Maybe there's a torchic farm somewhere in a region. Maybe in Hoenn?" Lyra said excitedly pounding her fist at the table that Silver almost spilled his drink.

"You want to be more careful Lyra if you don't want to waste something important like water." Silver said as he glared. "I don't even know why I'm listening to where eggs come from?"

"Sorry…" Lyra said childishly, sticking her tongue out.

Silver stood up and looked at Lyra with his cold silver eyes. "Meet me outside so we'll begin your training, wash the dishes first though." Silver then took off outside and Lyra just pouted and do what he says. Silver received again a text message from Gold and he ignored after reading it was the same content from the last text message.

After a few minutes, Lyra went outside and saw Silver standing talking to Professor Elm. Lyra approached them and waited for Silver to finish.

"So your pokemons are stronger by now especially the Totodile you stole from my lab a few months back." Professor Elm said and Lyra's eyes widened. "And there's the fake wanted poster of yours."

"I'm sorry about before Professor, I just-" Silver said looking down. "Don't even remind me that professor."

"It's fine, Gold told me everything before he trained Mt. Silver back then." Professor Elm said and faced Lyra. "Morning Lyra! Having fun with your babysitter?" he asked and Lyra blushed.

"We're about to train to get her ready for gym battles." Silver said.

"That's good, I recommended that to Gold and Crys but they said they don't want to battle for some badge and it's a waste of time even." Professor Elm smirked awkwardly. "Now, I'll be leaving you two, I need to check what they're doing in Sinnoh. Good luck on the training children!" he then left the two.

Silver nodded and Lyra still blushing. "So let's begin training." He release Honchkrow and since Lyra don't have a flying pokemon, she rode on Honchrow's back and Silver hanging below. They took off going to the pier at the south of Violet City.

"Let's have one on one battle first and after that, you might want to battle Violet City's gym." He said and chooses Honchkrow as his first pokemon to battle. "Your goal is to defeat at least one of my pokemons. We can use many pokemons as we want but only one is out."

"Now, use your strong –" but before he finished his sentence, Lyra's sandshrew, Pan-kun uses Sandstorm and Honchkrow had difficulties flying. Lyra returned Pan-chan and sent her Dewgong, Gon-chan and uses ice beam that lowers the bird's flying.

"Your strongest pokemon first? Is it tactic the most important in battling? huh Silvy?" Lyra asked in a teasing tone smiling mischievously. "Wait, is it this like Dia and Pearl's training where you let the trainer battle the gym leader's type of pokemon?"

"That's just the same. Diamond and Pearl just tell the weak spot but—nevermind ," Silver said and avoided Lyra's gaze blushing a little. "It's all just mere coincidence. Anyway, Drill Peck!"

Honchkrow zoomed at the Dewgong and got damaged critically that made Gon-chan's health go low and fell down to the ground. "Have a little rest Gon-chan and remember to use Sleep talk until he wakes you up." The Dewgong closed her eyes and began sleeping.

"Using Sleep talk can attack but it will sometimes be at random direction that can be missed or dodged and she'll be all defenseless." Silver said smirking, nodding to Honchkrow for another drill peck.

"Who knows, the sandstorm by Pan-kun still be effective and I'm sure Gon-chan is safe because she can attack and can recover while sleeping." Lyra said grinning as well.

Honchkrow went straight and spins for another drill peck but he can't due the fact that he got caught of Dewgong's signal beam. The battle ends very successful that she beat Silver's Honchkrow and put his Weavile at a disadvantage in their battle. It was now past lunch.

"So, you're ready to battle the gym now?" Silver said as they stand up at the entrance of Violet City's gym. He looked at the brunette who obviously is nervous about going in.

"I think I'm not ready for it." Lyra said as she quickly leave Silver's side and about to go home but Silver was quick enough to block her way.

"You're turned to your introverted self from the moment Gold introduced you to us." Silver said, giving her his cold glare that would easily annoy people. "And you're so great of battling recently. I'm sure Falkner would be happy to battle against you."

"I'm not ready okay? I feel I don't have the strength yet." Lyra said then the grumbling sound was heard that made them silent. Silver looked at her with curiousity and give her a grin. Lyra was blushing red.

"You're not nervous or anything you're just hungry." Silver said blankly.

"I am not! I really don't feel like battling just yet!" Lyra lied in frustration and another grumble was heard and made Silver smirked.

"C'mon, let's find some place to eat. I'm starving as well." Silver said leaving Lyra and went straight to the small café.

"Hey wait up!" Lyra yelled as she followed the red-head. "You'll be paying lunch since I don't have money with me."

Silver just nodded but he stopped from walking as soon as Lyra was staring at the Bellsprout tower. He approached the girl and looked at the tower as well. "I wouldn't train there if I were you." he lied. He had experienced training here for his Feraligatr back then.

"Why would you say that?" Lyra asked.

"I trained here myself and they told me if someone train here they will be a monk and force to be bald for the rest of your life." Silver said blankly and Lyra quickly gripped her pigtails.

"Don't lie to me!" Lyra pouted.

"Oh no I'm not lying, if you like go and train while I eat." Silver said leaving her. Lyra pouted and followed choosing food instead.

Meanwhile at Sinnoh, Gold, Crystal and Dia are at the center of Lake Verity resting outside the cavern eating their packed their lunch. They just finished exploring the cavern and the lake because Gold wanted to see Mesprit. Diamond agreed to it while Crystal hesitated but ending up liking and agreeing to the plan.

"Too bad I didn't get to see Mesprit. I want to see a lake guardian so badly." Gold said lazily as he lay down the soft ground.

"Yeah too bad, Mesprit might be resting or don't want to appear on us just yet." Diamond said as he make another sandwich.

"Anyway, I gotta text Silver—" Gold said as he reached his PokeNav but Crystal just glared at him while checking her pokenav as well.

"You're texting since the moment we land. You're way too worried about them, Silver gets the whole message." Crystal said as she uses her Pokenav. "Will you stop it?"

Gold watched how Crystal's annoyed face as she uses her pokenav. He looked at his pokenav and see there's no signal so he got up and took another sandwich from Dia's pile. "Fine, there's no signal anyway what are you doing with your pokenav?"

"I'm trying to contact Professor Elm, He told me I should call to keep him updated of what we're doing." Crystal said as she dialed and it began to ring.

" I already told there's no signal so what you're doing is a waste of time." Gold said.

"Crystal-senpai, after lunch let's go to Sandgem town and ask Professor Rowan to contact Professor Elm so you wouldn't get so tensed." Diamond suggested and Gold just laughed as Crystal got annoyed and pouted.

What are we doing here? You didn't exactly tell me." Gold said frankly, handing Crystal a sandwich.

"I'll tell you later." Crystal said, still checking her device as she took the sandwich using her mouth and chew it slowly to prevent her from choking.

"By the way Dia, you're not off with Pearl and Platina today, is everything fine?" Gold asked his junior who's enjoying his meal with his pokemons.

"Huh? Oh yes we're fine! Pearl is just having daddy time with Mr. Palmer and Missy is just busy." Diamond said eating peacefully.

"What kind of busy?" Gold asked.

"I don't know but I think it's family related stuff that me and Pearl wouldn't dare to know." Diamond shrugged eating his bagel.

"Okay then, I won't force you." Gold said as he sighed and watched Poltaro jumped to the lake and swim.

Crystal agreed and the three of them had a nice picnic, having random conversation about travels, pokemons, people and food. Gold even jumped in the lake to take a short swim while Dia was taking his after lunch nap. Crystal on the other hand is having a short rest watching the magicarps swim at the lake with Gold and Poltaro. A few minutes, she then heard a noise coming from the cavern.

"Did you hear that?" Crystal asked waking Diamond up.

"Yeah, it's a loud boom or something." Gold said as he put on his clothes. "It's coming from the cavern."

I'm not sure if their little battle goes well or not but I hope it is in a way.
