Thanks to Blue Kitten for reviewing! I really appreciate your regular reviews! You're right, it's an organization, but you haven't guessed it yet! Keep trying! The picture isn't a hint, it just has a bunch of dexholders in it and I liked it, so... yeah, it ended up as the picture for this story.

I entered the room to find both Ruby and Emerald hovering over Crystal's bed. Ruby was trying to order Emerald to stay his bed while bandaging Crys's arm, but Emerald insisted on trying to help.

"Hey, Ruby, I'm sorry to interrupt, but could I borrow something from your bag?"

"Yeah, sure, it's over there," he said distractedly.

I knelt on the floor where he had left his bag and rummaged through it before finding what I needed.

"Thanks!" I said as I walked out the door.

"Yeah, sure, no problem. Emerald, could you at least sit over there?!"

I walked downstairs and dropped the berry bag next to Sapphire, smiling at her surprised face. "Use it before he notices I took it."

She laughed, "Ya know, that kinda reminds me of Blue. Do ya know Blue from Kanto?"

"No…" I said, "Sorry."

"Don't apologize! I just thought ya might." She carefully sorted through the berries, picking out the ones she needed.

After we were done healing the Pokemon, I winked at her and went upstairs again. I carefully replaced the berry bag without Ruby noticing and asked him if I could help at all.

"Yeah," he said. "Get that kid to stay on his bed!"

"Any method?"

"Anything! Just keep him out of my way!"

I whistled, and Blissey appeared with my bag. "Thank you, sweetie! Now, let's see..." I pulled out Ninetales and said, "Dearie, make Emerald sit on his bed."

Ninetales's eyes glowed a deeper red and Emerald stiffly walked to the bed and sat down.

"Okay," Ruby said, "how did you do that? I've been trying to get him to sit forever!"

"Ninetales has the power to control people's minds with his eyes. Emerald didn't go voluntarily. But he can still hear us, so now he knows."

He stopped what he was doing and stared at me. "That's just creepy."

"Come on, why'd you want Emerald to sit in the first place? Keep healing Crystal." He shook his head and turned back to his task, and I added, "Besides, you said by any means necessary. This was the easiest."

"I didn't realize you could take over people's minds with your Ninetales."

"Neither did I until just a few moments ago when I remembered it."

"Remember anything else?"

"I wasn't supposed to have this lovely girl!" I said, happily picking up Blissey. "But I got her anyway!"

"What do you mean you weren't supposed to have her? Was she your parents' Pokemon?"

"No, I don't think so," I said, trying to remember my parents. I ran into a mental white wall again and shrugged.

"Oh well," Ruby said. "I'm sure you'll get your memory back soon. You seem to be doing pretty well already."

"Thanks! I'm sure your friend Yellow will help a lot, even if I don't fully recover."

"Yeah, she will."

"I never thanked you for volunteering to do this. I really appreciate it. You too Emerald, because I know that attack on you and Crystal was meant for me."

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked, finishing off a bandage.

I explained my logic to him: they had been the same men who had attacked us before. There had been more of them, sure, but they had all still looked the same and escaped on Mantines.

"Hmmm… And they still figured out that we would land here. I'll call Yellow and the Kanto Pokedex holders to meet us all in Viridian City, assuming that we aren't attacked on the way there again."

"Good plan. This way, Yellow can have some protection because her Pokemon aren't as strong as the others."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I don't know, is it common knowledge?"

"I don't think so. It must be from your past. Maybe you're from Kanto and you know because you've heard about their adventures."

"Maybe! We'll find out after I talk to this Yellow, I guess. Oh, dearie, you can let him go now, you're tiring yourself out!"

The glow in Ninetales's eyes faded and Emerald fell backwards onto the bed. "Don't move from the bed, or Ninetales will put you back there," I warned, taking a few of Ruby's supplies (hey!) and going over to Emerald. "Let's see what I can do for you." Emerald wasn't hurt as badly as Crystal, but he still had a few severe wounds. I had him bandaged up quickly and put him to sleep.

I met Ruby and Sapphire downstairs. They both looked serious and motioned me over.

"We don't know if Crys and Emerald are in good enough condition to travel with us to Viridian City," Ruby whispered.

"But they hafta come with us," Sapphire added, "or else they might be attacked without anyone to protect them."

"But if they come with us, they'll be attacked. It's just a matter of where they'll hurt the least," I argued.

Sapphire nodded. "That's what I've been sayin'. They'll be better protected if we bring them with us and defend them."

Ruby sighed. "I just think it's better to leave them out of this."

"They were already attacked. Those men might think we'll return here and attack them again before we can come to their rescue."

"All right," Ruby said, holding his hands up in defeat. "They'll come with us. But if we're going to take them, let's stop by New Bark Town to see if Gold and Silver are there to come with us. I don't like our odds of three mostly strong people traveling with two who are seriously injured. Hopefully we can meet the others on time."

"I think we'll make it," Sapphire declared. "Well, as long as you don't run!"

"Hey, you guys were just going way too fast!"

Hope you enjoyed it, it's at least a little longer than the last chapter! Please guess and review!
