...What? You know the drill. I don't own anything.

This is probably gonna be the last upload before school starts on the seventh...but we'll see! And uploads here are probably going to be slower since school and some brainstorming on my next series (aka organizing my thoughts so I won't contradict myself). Time to see if I can juggle!

That was a bad analogy. I can't juggle two balls. I can do it with one though! :p

But my uploads these day are pretty quick...if I do say so myself...now...if only I have the will to actually finish outlining and coloring my manga for French Summer HW...oh well...

"So..." Blue said, sounding casual. "...Why can't we go inside?"

"Because this is the starting point." I replied. The dexholders came to the warehouse a bit earlier than usual, but got stopped by me from coming inside.

"Starting point for what?" Gold asked. "The event, what else?" I said. "What is it we're doing?" Crystal asked. I took a deep breath. "Not another long title." Green murmured. "It's the No Gravity Laser Tag in A Mirror Maze in the Dark Event!" I said happily. Everyone sweatdropped at the title. "Sound pretty self explanatory..." Yellow said. "And unnecessarily complicated." Emerald added, folding his arms.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat for no reason. "Since you said that, any questions?" I asked for formality. "And no asking about going home. You guys know the answer already."

"Are we teams?" Red said. "Nope. Everyone is out to catch everyone else." I replied. "Huh. That's new." Blue said. "I thought for sure we're going to be in teams or something..."

"I rather not make this any complicated and have you guys accidentally hit your own teammates, thank you very much." I said. I took out a box. "Here," I showed them the contents inside the box. It was laser guns. "Take one."

When everyone took one, I explained some details. "As you can tell, you'll be doing a laser tag of sorts in the dark while also in a mirror maze. 'Course, there's no exit to the maze since the whole thing is supposed to be tag. The goal is to take out as many people as you can. Once you're hit, you're out. Also, these laser guns run on batteries, so you guys have a time limit of 2 hrs. And since these kind of things usually have prizes, I'll give you a dinner meal as your prize. Last place has the worst/simplest one and first place gets a five stars one with the middle places being in various quality. Get it? Good, because it's pretty cliched. Oh, and they're not going to affect your eyesight or anything if you saw them straight on. Harold will be watching you guys by a night vision monitor screen, and basically be the referee. And those who are going to ask why him, it's because he has a permanently loud voice."

"By the way, here." I handed all of them a badge of sorts. "Attach that to your clothing or something. That's to teleport you out of the game when you're out." I said. "Gee...thanks..." Sapphire said as she fiddled with it on her collar. When everyone attached their badges, Yellow raised her hand. "A question about the dinner...what's the last place dinner like?"

"Last place is literally the leftover from that cooking competition and water." I deadpanned.

That's it, I'm not going to lose now... their thoughts echoed in dread.

...Hold on! That was days ago! Shouldn't they be expired by now?!

I stuck my tongue out. "Guess I should also include a doctor's appointment along with the dinner, huh?"

...That's gotta be against the law.

"Now," I clapped my hands and gestured to the closed doors. "...Just walk in! Welll...actually you guys can't because I'm going to teleport you guys directly in there in random locations so..." I pressed a button on a remote and they all disappeared. "Okay, now I need to find the monitor room." I looked around for the makeshift tent.

Harold, by the way, is in a Inner Dimension separately, just because.

With Yellow

The first thing Yellow thought was 'Where's the floor?'. She moved her legs that mimicked the butterfly kick as she floated in the air, moving slightly from the acceleration. She couldn't even tell if her eyes are closed or open anymore, it was pitch black! She realized that she was still holding the laser gun, and could hear Gold and Sapphire's curses as they hit the walls/mirrors. She caught a flash of light (guess her eyes are open) at the corner of her eye and turned to see Blue from the mirror's reflection.

Okay...maybe I'll use this laser as a flashlight...

With Ruby

Using Sapphire's voice as a locator, he managed to make his way towards Sapphire. After bumping into mirrors several times, he used his hands to inch his way to Sapphire. Of course, like pretty much everyone else, he pressed his fingers and feet on the mirrors so he wouldn't float off. This is hard, considering that one hand is holding the laser gun and he still managed to bump into mirrors anyways. "Ow!' he said when for once he wasn't bumping into a mirror, but to the ceiling (or floor but Ruby prefers the cleaner version). This whole zero gravity and pitch black thing is making him lose his sense of direction. Turns out Sapphire wasn't only across the room, but actually above him.

"Ow!" Ruby said again but this time with another voice. He hit something soft, kind of like flesh. "Ruby? That you?" it was Emerald. Ruby could tell that he was floating away from Emerald. "Yeah..." he answered.

Five seconds passed before both realized that now's their chance. They blindly aimed their gun and fired. Two beams of light shot out and only one hit their target.

In the Monitor Tent

Ignoring the curses of Sapphire and Gold and the 'Shut up!'s of other players, I focused on their location. Turns out, a few are actually close by, but they missed each other because it was dark. Ruby actually did hit the ceiling, and Sapphire really was a few feet away from him but got distracted by Emerald, who came from the other direction.

By the way, the mirror walls go to the ceiling, so no need to worry about them floating out of the maze.

"Seems like their still trying to get used to their sense." Jack said.

"Can someone just go find Gold and shut him up?" Mickey said.

"Lucky~! I want to play too..." Julie said wistfully.

"But you're 21." Annie commented.

I twitched. "Can you guys stop squishing me?" I asked grumpily. The staff members where crowding over the monitor screen, to the point of invading my personal space.

"It's not our fault that the monitor screen is so small." Matt pointed out. "Move over." Rachel said to Allison. "I will if Ani will." Allison said.

"Get. Out. Now." I gritted my teeth.

With Sapphire

"Ruby is out!" Harold voice echoed, followed by extreme feedback. Everyone put their hands to their ears. "Sorry about that!" Harold voice shouted when the feedback ended. Voices echoed sarcastic 'We don't mind (much)'s.

Sapphire already knew Ruby was out because she watched the whole thing (well...the scene that was illuminated by the laser beams) from an opening when Ruby and Emerald shouted 'Ow!'.

And thanks to the laser beams, Sapphire could more or less pinpoint where Emerald is and aimed. She pulled the trigger and fired.

And she completely missed thanks to zero gravity pushing Emerald away.

Emerald, who saw the beam of light, aimed at Sapphire to the best of his ability, and hit Sapphire on the arm. "Dammit!" Sapphire yelled. "Yes!" Emerald cheered, only to be hit in the back by Blue, who grinned. "Couldn't agree more." she replied sweetly. "...Darn it!"

"Sapphire and Emerald is out!" Harold voice said.

With the Monitor Tent and the Invaders

"Hi guys!" Mike greeted the Hoenn Trio. "Here, Ruby. Your dinner." Rachel tossed Ruby a chinese takeout thing. Ruby caught it by reflex and immediately made a face and pushed it to Sapphire, who caught it by reflex and immediately made a face and threw it out of the tent. "What tha heck is that smell?!" Sapphire yelled as Ruby gagged at nothing but the remaining smell. Emerald, who was a good distance away from them (he wanted to avoid the chinese takeout thing), sighed in relief. "My nose will not die today." he commented. "It's just the leftover scramble eggs." Jack said innocently. "We still have more, so you don't need to worry about-"

"NO THANKS!"

"By the way, how's the day off yesterday?" Annie asked the trio. "Tiresome." they replied together.

"Why did we have a day off?" Emerald asked after a moment's thought. "Because we needed extra time to set up." I replied. "And the special chapter." I said like an afterthought. "Speaking of which, why did you want to write about our off-scene life?" Jack asked.

"Actually I just wanted to introduce you guys 'cause it was really confusing writing staff member scenes using just 'the first staff member', 'the other staff member', 'the staff member doing this' or 'the staff member carrying that'. Thought introducing some names would help in one way or the other. Doesn't mean I'm going to have you everywhere though." I said.

I thought for a bit. "Maybe I should just 'erase' you, so to speak. Then I don't need to worry about mentioning you ever."

"Oi!"

With Gold

"Ah, shoot." Gold muttered as he floated around and looked around. From the constant lightbeaming noise from the other side, he knows that someone's there, but the problem lies with actually getting there. He keeps on hitting mirrors and sharp turns.

He turned his head forward and bumped into something soft. "Ow!" he said. "Gold?" Red's voice said. "Hello senior..." Gold mumbled while rubbing his nose. "Hi...you okay?" Red asked. Gold heard another 'Ow!' and a noise when Red bumped into something again. "I'm fine." Gold replied. Now's my chance to get first place... Gold reached for his gun which is in his hoodie pocket, only to find his pocket empty. ...*slurpuff*. The stupid zero gravity thing must've gotten my gun to float away...

Gold gulped when a light beam missed him by an ear. "Darn it." he heard Red muttered under his breath. Gold 'swam' away. "This is an unfair battle!" Gold told Red and bumped into another wall (which is actually the floor, but they can't tell). "What do you mean?" Gold heard a faint screeching sound as if Red pressed his fingers on a mirror to stop him from floating away (upwards). "I mean that I lost my gun." Gold answered the question, only to dodge a light beam by lifting his feet up. ...It's a good thing I know where my body parts are!

"Sorry, Gold." Red said a bit sympathetically. "But survival of the fittest, I guess."

Gold floated away from the third laser beam. "Hah! Missed!" he said. He decided to shut up when a laser beam almost reached him (and would if it weren't for zero gravity continuously pushing him away from the momentum). Seeing as how the light beam bounce back from the mirrors, he looked for a way to bounce a light beam back at Red.

Unfortunately, he kept getting interrupted from the incoming laser beams. Red used nearby mirrors to keep himself in (relative) place and used the light of the laser beams to pinpoint the limited location of where Gold is at.

"*Sylve-(hang on, not gonna use one of my favorite pokemon as a censor)Sewaddle*." Gold muttered. He propelled himself off a wall (mirror) and aimed at another mirror he remembered was at. Red aimed at Gold again. Gold jumped (and floated) up to avoid the laser beam only for the the beam to bounce back to go to Red. Luckily, zero gravity is pretty much everyone's frienemy (hope I typed it right) and Red managed to dodge his beam. "I thought you didn't have a gun!" Red said. "I don't!" Gold replied with a grin on his face.

"Even so, I'm not backing down." Red said and tried to aim again, despite bumping into another wall (mirror). "All for the sake of my stomach!"

Even Red is merciless when it comes to terrible food!

With Green

Green felt something hit the back of hit head and turned. He blindly grabbed the object and after bumping into a mirror, felt around with his hand. After doing this for about ten seconds, he confirmed it to be a laser gun. "Who left this?" he muttered out loud. Then he heard Gold's shouts and Red's voice about ten feet away from him on the right.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that I lost my gun."

Well, that solves the mystery of the extra laser gun.

Green was about to go to Gold and Red but decided to let the two battle it out. The point of the game is to be the last one remaining, so just let the other players defeat each other while he goes to hiding and wait for the last player to be left. It's a good strategy in this environment and saves time as well, not to mention energy.

He was content about this but the thing about this strategy is to be undetected. Green saw a light beam go past him three inches from his left. Green pushed himself out of the way and avoided another light beam that was sure to hit him if he didn't.

Somehow he heard the faint gasp of Crystal from hitting a mirror and Yellow was most likely the one who kept on using the laser gun so by some complicated process of elimination...

"Silver." Green said calmly. "Didn't expect you to find me that quickly."

"Hmph. We were near each other." Silver said grumpily while firing again. Green dodged that as well. He took his gun and fired at Silver. Silver dodged it thanks to zero gravity.

"Hm..." Green said. He fired again and almost had Silver but Silver's own laser beam cancelled his out.

Silver aimed and fired again and Green dodged. However, the light beam knocked the gun out of his hand (somehow). "Heh." Silver knew what happened from the light. "Now you're defenseless."

"There're mirrors."

"Not exactly great counter attacks."

"They are if you're skilled enough." Green continued the conversation as he jumped off from one mirror to another. He couldn't find his gun, so he kept dodging. Some beams reflected at Silver's direction, but still missed.

After a while, Silver got hit by a laser beam on the foot. "That was dumb luck." he told Green. "Silver's out!" Harold's voice said. "To tell you the truth, I used Gold's gun." Green said right before Silver got teleported.

There was no rule about using only your own gun after all.

With Blue

After getting Emerald, she floated around while trying her best to not bump into anything too hard to hurt. She eventually landed on a platform of sorts and pushed herself off to give her some momentum. The others already seemed to be used to the darkness, and she could see lights being fired as voices being heard. "Take that!" Gold's voice shouted. "Missed!" Red said.

"Oof!" Blue crashed into a mirror wall. She could expect a few bruises here and there on everyone.

"Ow!" she heard Crystal and Yellow cry. Apparently Yellow decided to stop using her laser gun so the others might not know where she is anymore.

Blue kept herself silent when she realized that they're about five feet from her. She stopped herself from floating using her hands on some sort of platform (mirror, wall, etc.).

"Is that you, Yellow?" Crystal's voice asked. "Yep." Yellow replied. Crystal's laser missed Yellow by a hair. "Sorry in advance." Crystal said. "No problem." Yellow replied as she fired hers. It fired next to Crystal head. "So close..." Yellow muttered. She's falling to the ground now, seeing as how behind Crystal is the ceiling from the laser's light. Blue aimed at Crystal's illuminated face when Crystal decided to try again. Blue fired as soon as Yellow was hit.

Crystal turned her head in shock from the intruder. "Blue!" she said when she caught a glimpse of her. Blue waved even though the laser faded and Crystal couldn't see it.

"Crystal, Yellow, and Gold is out!" Harold's voice rang out. "Who got Gold?" Crystal asked before she got teleported. Blue could tell because she heard a small noise.

Author's Note: I don't know how to describe the noise of teleporting, so just deal with it.

"When you see Crystal," a voice from behind said calmly. "Tell her Red did it."

Blue gasped and turned around only to be hit by a laser on the chest. From the light, she saw Green. "Oh, not fair." she whined childishly. The light faded, but she could almost sense that Green shrugged.

Her last thought before being teleported was how the laser tickled a bit.

"Blue is now out!"

With Crystal

Crystal immediately shut her eyes tight when the sudden light appeared. "Hello!" a staff member said. After waiting a while, she managed to open her eyes and see that she's now at a tent where the dexholders who are out are. Suddenly Blue appeared next to her. "Ow!" Blue said and shut her eyes tight. "The light!"

"Who took you out?" Emerald asked. "Green." Blue said, rubbing her eyes. "So that means Senior Red and Senior Green is left?" Gold said. "Pretty much." Blue said.

"Cookie?" a staff member handed out a box. "Thanks." Crystal took a chocolate chip and bit into it. "Mm...delicious." she said brightly.

"Where's Ani?" Blue asked, finally getting used to the light. She took a cookie from the staff member while Sapphire told her that Ani is in another tent.

Gold sighed. "And I almost had him too..." he sighed again. "Oh yeah," Blue turned to Crystal. "Green told me to tell you that Red was the one who got Gold."

With Me!

I watched as Red and Green tried to find each other. They're far away from each other. Across the whole room. Red still keeps getting into sudden dead ends and hitting his face with it. Green used his hands as a walking stick of sorts. He kept his gun in his pocket until the time comes, apparently.

"Well...I"m pretty sure they'll be done before lunchtime so..." Jack went out to tell the pizza delivery calling guy to order 10 more servings (they fixed the oven).

I sighed. "Either the dexholders are too smart or the teleportation device isn't so random, but this is much quicker than I thought." I said. "Oh well. You can always have them do another event." Annie said. "Or have them suffer during dinnertime." I said. "Still...IT'S JUST TOO SHORT!"

And This Montage of Red beating Green because of Writer's Block Isn't Going to Help Me at All!

"I guess the champion will always be the champion huh?" a staff member commented as he handed Red a band aid. It seems it cut himself from a jagged mirror.

"Anyways...it's 11:30. Now what?" Crystal asked. I shrugged. "Eat lunch with us. Then free time until dinner." I grinned. "I can't wait."

"I can." Ruby murmured.

"I wanted to see what the next event is...but the Randomizer Hat is still not here yet..." I said sadly. "How about you end it?" Green said. "No way." I said automatically.

"I'm surprised Green got you so quickly though." Blue said to Silver. "It was just dumb luck." Silver repeated.

"I'm telling you, me being out before you did has nothing to do with our strengths." Crystal continued to argue at Gold. He grinned. "Whatever. Continue to console yourself with excuses. I am still stronger than you." he said. "Am not." Crystal retorted.

"Get that thing away from meh!" Sapphire said as she threw the takeout box back towards Ruby, holding her nose. Ruby, who is also holding his nose, slapped it back to Sapphire. "No way! I don't want to smell like rotten eggs for the week!" he said. They have been doing this for quite some time now. Everyone else stayed far away from them.

"But it's your dinner." Sapphire said.

"But I didn't ask for it!" Ruby reasoned.

"It's still yours!" Sapphire argued.

"Then I'm giving it to you!" Ruby said.

"No way!" Sapphire said.

"Ani!" Rachel came into the tent. "The hat's here!"

"Yes!" I went out of the tent and got the new Randomizer Hat. Looks completely the same. And works the same too.

Since the slips of paper is already in there since that's how I programmed it, I reached in and took a piece of paper out.

Be a Pokemon for a Day *in fine print* (or whatever period of time)

"...Okay!" I went back to the tent. "Listen up everyone." I told the dexholders. They looked at me. "Well? What's next?" Silver asked. I smiled. "Time for a little bit more cookie tasting."

"OH COME ON!"

"Don't worry, that's not the main event." I sweatdropped at the reaction. "I thought some of you liked it too..."

"I sure don't." Silver glowered at me. "Yeah...you being the exception." I inched my way away from him. "But the Hoenn Trio has experience, so just call them your temporary senpais!"

To tell you the truth, I inputted Gold and Green's section after when I wanted to prolong this chapter a bit more. And I also forgotten about Silver :p. Good thing I remembered him when I wrote Green's part, otherwise...yeah...

On a random note, I like substitute characters from one universe with character from another universe. For example, substituting Yuki and Kaori from One Week Friends with Gold and Crystal! I want to see them in this plot. Can Shogo be Silver? Ah...I feel a new fanfic coming up...if it's within the rules and if I actually can handle two or three series at the same time...

And now...Review!

Heh...now to brainstorm on who's going to be which pokemon...
