Hello everyone! I'm excited for this chapter! Most of the stuff and notes about this chapter is down below so...
I don't own Pokespe!
Speaking of grammar (change of topic I know), is 'pokemon' supposed to be 'Pokemon' or just 'pokemon'?
Just so you know, I'm having trouble differentiating Green and Silver's personalities so...yeah...and the chapter isn't as funny as I want it to be, but whatevs! :p
Let's move on!
"Hello!" I greeted the Johto trio. Gold blinked and looked around. "...Where's the others?" he asked. "Blue and the others already came." I answered. "We were supposed to be with them..." Crystal glared at Gold. "If someone didn't decide to sleep in."
"Hey, you could have just left me." Gold said. "For what? So you have an excuse to make us feel guilty enough to buy you lunch?" Silver said. "He did that?" I blinked in surprise. Crystal sighed. "Yeah, sorta. I can't believe I fell for it." she muttered the last part under her breath. Gold grinned and was about to comment but I cut him off.
"Well anyways, here." I showed them a handful of pokemon shaped cookies. Silver and Crystal looked at the suspiciously. The last time they ate a shaped cookie, it wasn't a great experience. "Don't worry." I assured them. "Even though they're pokemon shaped, you're not going to become that pokemon."
"That's supposed to make us feel better?"
"Uh...I guess not, judging from your reactions."
"Well, thanks for the food!" Gold said as he greedily grabbed a cookie. He didn't learn anything from the cookie tasting event. I guess that makes sense, he didn't really have a bad experience with them much.
Crystal and Silver cautiously took one too while Gold ate his. I waited for Crystal and Silver to take a bite, then I pressed a button on the remote I had in my other hand. "Have a nice rest of the day!" I said cheerfully. "Wait, what's going-" Crystal never got to finish her sentence.
I'm starting to like these surprise Inner Dimension trips.
With Blue
The Kanto dexholders were the first one to enter the Inner Dimension since the Hoenn Trio dawdled as the bickering duo continued to argue about all things random but 180 degrees different. From what breakfast is good to which Pokemon type is better (water or fire respectively).
Blue sighed at the thought. Now it seems like those two will bicker about anything as long as they well...argue.
People are supposed to grow closer as time pass, not farther away... Blue thought sourly.
Blue got up from under a tree and stretched. She figured the rest should be awake by now (for some reason you wake up being a pokemon). Blue walked aimlessly around the forest. It was nice hearing the other forest pokemon chitter chatter away.
"Hello Rattata!"
"Hello Caterpie!"
"Be careful from the Beedrill family!"
"Oh, be quiet Pidgey. I'm a Butterfree now."
"Hm?" another Pidgey looked at Blue. "You're new. Who are you?" it asked. "I'm Blue!" Blue said cheerfully. She had no idea why all of the sudden the pokemon and tree got bigger, but looking at her paws, she believes that she's now a Teddiursa. "You're a trainer's pokemon? I'm pretty sure you're a Teddiursa." a Caterpie said.
Well, that confirms it.
"No, I just call myself Blue." Blue said sweetly. What's the point of explaining how you used to be a human anyways? She thought.
"Huh..." and with that, the rest of the pokemon started to chatter away again. "I have a question." Blue asked a Weedle. "Hm? What is it?" Weedle asked, stopping from munching on a leaf. "What do you call each other if there's more than one of the same Pokemon?" Blue asked. It's always been on her mind when she thinks about it.
"We just call them their name." Weedle said. "We always know who's talking about who." and with that said the Weedle went back on chewing.
Author's Note: I was tempted to give them names, but I think it'll be weird if the Pokemon doesn't mind trainers giving them nicknames when they already have one. You know what? In this universe, the pokemon can tell. I don't really think of it like that much anyways...
Must be enhanced senses or hearing of different tones... Blue thought. She continued to walk wherever nonetheless. "I wonder where the others are..." she mused to herself.
With Sapphire
Sapphire woke up in a tree branch. The first thing she noticed was that she felt short and her feet felt more...rough. Also, she now has wings. After a second of alarm, she realized it was the cookie's doing and calmed right down.
"Huh. Rare to find a Natu in these parts." a voice said. "Who said that?" Sapphire turned to her right and saw a Pikachu standing on another branch. "Hi!" he greeted cheerfully. "...Oh! Uh...hi." Sapphire said dumbfoundedly. Sure, she expected to sprout wings or antennae, but it never occurred to her that she could understand other pokemon as well.
And it's not like she's hearing 'Pika pika' or anything...well, she is, but it's almost as if it got translated to human language in her head or something.
Must be Ani's doing. Sapphire decided.
Sapphire lifted her short wings and tried to mimic bird pokemon she saw. She hopped off and flapped her wings...
Only to land beak first on the ground.
"You okay?" Pikachu shouted from above in surprise and worry. Sapphire managed to pull her beak out. "Yeah..." she answered.
Apparently, she doesn't know how to fly, despite everything.
With Gold
Gold had fun using his plant stalk as a sword to chop down nearby branches. He had no idea why he woke up in a nest and has wings and is levitated about 10 feet off the ground but he's has no complaint. After all, he got to talk with other nearby pokemon, and gets to use a plant sword.
"Now if only I can play pool with this..." Gold said as he waved his plant stalk around. He remembered something about a Farfetch'd being unable to live without a plant stalk, but couldn't see why. "I know it's a cool knife for a bird but still." Gold said out loud. "Hey you!" a Farfetch'd said, flapping its wing to be at the same level where Gold is. "That's my nest!"
"It is?" Gold said. "Well sor-hey!" Gold got cut off short when the angry Farfetch'd started to hit him on the head with its own stalk. "Get out! Get out! Get out!" it shrieked. It smacked Gold in the face this time and the blow pushed Gold off the nest and he fell down to the ground, his stalk hitting him on the stomach before resting on the ground after.
"Grr...talk about a bad attitude!"
With Emerald
Being a Wooper was terrible. Emerald woke up next to the lake and seeing his reflection, immediately groaned. Not only was he short, he now has no hands and has a permanent idiot face attached.
Not only that, he knows that there's some sort of...membrane around him. He knows that it's supposed to keep him hydrated, but it's just so sticky. He was human, not a Wooper all his life. It's still icky!
Well, at least he could understand the other Wooper, and the occasional Oddish...
And he now has a shield without even trying.
With Crystal
When she woke up, she didn't know what to expect. Everything was taller, larger. From what she could tell, she's a pokemon that's on all fours. A short tail. And buckteeth.
She quickly scurried to a some sort of body of water. No such luck.
"What's the matter?" a voice asked. Crystal jumped in surprise and looked up to see a Kakuna dangling on a branch.
Author's Note: I don't know if they do that, but they're cocoons. Deal with it.
"Oh! Um...hi there." Crystal said awkwardly. Figures a pokemon can understand pokemon. Figures.
"Hi." the Kakuna said. "Now what's wrong?"
"It's just...can you tell me what pokemon I am?" Crystal asked, knowing full well how strange it is.
"I can tell you right now you're a poison type." Kakuna said. If it's surprised about the question, it gave no indication (not like it could I think but still). "But I don't think I've seen your kind before. Sorry. Maybe you should ask a flying type. They've seen more than one would that's hanging around."
"Thanks." Crystal nodded and shifted her weight so she could wave goodbye. She noticed the stubby paws (feet?) and the light blue color.
She continued on her way on the lookout for flying type pokemon or the others (if she could identify them). Meanwhile, she'll be going through the list of small, light blue, poison type pokemon.
Which is short enough.
With Red
Red woke up in a field of white and yellow flowers. He got up to find that he has brown paws. He turned to see he now has a long striped tail. "Okay!" he said, unsure about what to do now. "...I'm now a pokemon...right. What am I anyways?" he said out loud as he twisted and turned in attempt of finding more clues. "You don't know who you are?" a surprised voice said. Red turned to find an Oddish staring up at him. "You talk?!" Red said instinctively in surprise. The Oddish tilted it's head/body in confusion. "Um...duh?" she said.
"Oh well...Red scratched the back of his head. He realized that it made sense to be able to talk and understand other pokemon. "...Anyways...do you know what pokemon I am?" he said.
"A sentret." Oddish replied. Red could almost hear the comment 'duh' from her voice.
"Oh...thanks." he replied awkwardly.
"Actually, I'm surprised you're not shivering like a coward Sentret usually is." Oddish said bluntly. "What?" Red responded at the unrelated topic. Oddish nodded. "Most of the Sentret I see are either with their group or scared stiff when they're alone."
"I see..."
"Oh well," Oddish said, walking away as if never having the conversation in the first place. "You already don't know who you are." she said nonchalantly.
"Um...bye?" Red said, waving hesitantly even though Oddish didn't see.
With Blue
Blue walked around some more, taking in the scenery before you. She stopped when she heard buzzing noise. "Hup! We have another one." a voice said in the midst of the stinging. A beedrill appeared.
Blue instinctively took a step back. "Here for some more pollen?" the beedrill asked. Blue blinked. "Come again?" she said. "Are you here for the pollen?" the beedrilll said, a bit more impatiently.
"No." Blue said. "Oh..." the beedrill stayed silent at the answer. "...Well...why are you here then?" the beedrill finally said.
"I was just walking around and then I came here." Blue answered. "Huh..." the beedrill stayed silent for a moment. Then it shrugged and went away.
Blue remembered vaguely about Teddiursa making their own honey using pollen and berries. Blue then shrugged. It didn't matter to her. She's not that honey crazy...
As soon as she thought about that, her nose picked up on a sweet and alluring scent. Blue's stomach then growled. "Well! Time for a quick snack!" she said happily and followed the scent of honey.
With Crystal
Crystal stopped walking after a while to take a break. Knowing that she's a Nidoran now helped a bit with the situation. She rested under an oak tree for some shade.
"I wonder where the others are..." she said out loud. She then picked up some noise and with curiosity, followed the faint sound that sounded like a voice.
"...got that?!" the voice yelled when Crystal could hear better. "Learn to listen!" a Farfetch'd said. Crystal recognized the voice. "...Gold?" she said in surprise. The Farfetch'd looked at Crystal. "...Crystal? You're a...Nidoran?" he said. "Better than a Farfetch'd, if you ask me." Crystal replied, walked to Gold. "Ha!" Gold scoffed. "At least I don't have to be on all fours."
"Are you a friend of this intruder?" a Farfetch'd from above yelled. Crystal looked up. "Yes! I'm sorry for any inconvenience this idiot (here she lifted a paw towards Gold's direction) brought!" she said. "Hey!" Gold said angrily. "Why do you have to apologize! You don't know who's at fault here!"
"You're always at fault in these situations." Crystal deadpanned. Gold whacked Crystal on the head with his plant stalk. "Ow! What was that for?" Crystal said angrily. "Hmph." Gold smirked. Crystal's eye twitched.
She looked away in anger and started to walk in a random direction. "Hey! Wait for me!" Gold said and flew after her. "What for?" Crystal asked. "Us humans need to stick together!" Gold grinned like it was a reasonable explanation, which Crystal took it as one.
Besides, she was curious what the others are.
With Sapphire
Sapphire continued to hop around the forest. I'm getting good at this Sapphire thought. She expertly hopped onto the trunk of a tree and climbed to the top of a branch. With one wing to partially shield some light, she looked this way and that to find a pokemon that's probably the dexholders. After looking for a while, she decided to go back to hopping around randomly.
When she's nearby a lake of some sort, she heard some sniffling. "Are ya okay?" she asked as she hopped towards the sound. After getting out of the tall grass and into the clearing that surrounds the lake, she saw a Spinda kneeling in front of the water while crying softly. The Spinda looked up and stared at Sapphire.
Somehow, Sapphire knew exactly who it is. Likewise with the Spinda.
"...Ruby!"
"Sapphire!'
"Why are you a Natu/Spinda?!"
"Actually, nevermind."
"Stop copying me!"
"Why are you crying?" Sapphire asked. "Why?!" Ruby reeled back as if insulted. "What are you, blind?! Look at me! This face! I look like an idiot!"
"You are an idiot, you idiot!" Sapphire countered. "And I ain't blind!"
"Ugh...I don't even have normal eyes..." Ruby groaned as he continued to stare at his reflection in horror. "Forever dizzy...this sucks! Almost as much as the Gothorita!"
Sapphire sweatdropped. "I ain't that bad. Least ya ain't a pokemon with wings but can't even fly." she muttered. "But my face!" Ruby wailed. A tick mark formed on Sapphire's head. "Oh, quit whinin' ya crybaby! It ain't permanent!"
"It's for the whole day!"
"So?"
"It's way more than enough! I want my face back!"
Sapphire got the sudden urge to just peck Ruby's so called eyes out and be done with it.
With Yellow
She took a nap in the shade of a tree that's in a clearing of some sort. She felt weird in an unknown body, but she could feel something like leaves on her head and has four stubby paws. She didn't mind, because she always wanted to know how it feels like to be a pokemon. But she decided to explore later after she took a quick nap.
The sun was feeling really nice, and she had the whole day so...
With Emerald
Emerald jumped into a lake because the stickiness was getting to him. Expertly swimming (by instinct), he traveled to the bottom of the lake where another Wooper is.
"Hello! Do I know you?" a Wooper greeted cheerfully. "No." Emerald said. "Thought so!" the Wooper said gleefully. The Wooper did a somersault before landing on a piece of rock again.
"That's a good thing?" Emerald said. "I dunno!" the Wooper said happily. Emerald sweatdropped. "Well, it's nice to meet you." he said. "Likewise!" Wooper answered.
...
"So...now what?" Emerald said. "I dunno!" the Wooper replied, somersaulting again.
With Blue
Blue found the honey and started to eat while the crescent continued to glow. She licked her paws. "Mm...I never knew honey was so good..." she said between licks. "You're a Teddiursa, what did you expect?" a dull voice replied with a hint of grumpiness. Blue looked around for the source, still licking. She walked into the tall grasses and found a frowning Azurill. "...Hiya Green!" she waved with a paw still sticky of honey. "Don't know how I knew it's you, but Pokemon instincts is awesome, huh?"
"Hmph." Green said, springing his tail in frustration. "Aw, come on!" Blue said, reaching out to pet Green's head. "Be cute!"
Green jumped back. "Wash your hands first." he said. "New flash~ I have paws now!" Blue said in a sing song voice. "Heehee. You sure picked a great cookie!"
Green glared at Blue. "What's wrong with being an azurill anyways?" Blue asked. "I hate this tail." Green looked at his attachment with disdain. "Why? It's cute! You can even pogo stick on it!" Blue said. "I still hate it." Green replied. "That sounds like something Silver would say..." Blue mused to herself while licking on her paws that tastes of honey.
With Crystal
Crystal watched Gold as he continued to flap around, looking around for the juniors and seniors. "You know it makes no sense to look around for them!" she called out. "We don't know what pokemon they are!"
"So? We didn't know who each other is but we're still able to identify each other. Same thing!" Gold replied back, a bit muffled since the plant stalk is in his beak.
"Does it still work like that from afar?" Crystal murmured. "Probably." Gold replied. "Probably?" Crystal repeated, then sweatdropped when Gold crashed into a tree. "Don't fly if you can't look where you're flying." she said, watching Gold fall back to the ground, the plant stalk dropping out of his beak.
Gold got back up, rubbing his beak. "Guh...that was just a fluke..." he said. Crystal rolled her eyes. "Come on," she said, walking at a direction. Gold followed, rubbing his beak with one wing, and holding the plant stalk in the other.
With Ruby
"Hey! Ow! OW! Stop it!" Ruby yelled as Sapphire hopped on his head and pecked at him repeatedly. He frantically waved his paws and shook his whole body to get Sapphire off. Sapphire managed to hang in there by using her talons. "What's wrong with you? Ow! Stop it!"
"You're pissin' me off!" Sapphire yes.
"What?! H-OW!" Ruby said. Now he's just crouching down in a vain attempt of defense.
"You and yer stupid complainin'! Fer once jus' quit whinin' 'bout yer stupid face!"
"Ow! OW! Now you're ruining my fur! OW!"
Sapphire then noticed something blue from the corner of her eye. She stopped pecking and looked up. Ruby sighed in relief, muttering to himself about grooming with paws. "...It's Emerald!" Sapphire said after blinking. She recognized his sense. "Oh goodie..." the Wooper said with a frown. Ruby looked at Emerald. "...You look-"
"I don't want you to rub it in." Emerald said with the darkest look a Wooper could ever had. It was a very dark one, too. "What's the matter with bein' a Wooper?" Sapphire chirped, her whole body-head tilted in curiosity. Emerald opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately body slammed down to the floor (and flattened) by another body of blue. "So these are your friends huh, huh?" the Wooper said gleefully as it bounced on Emerald's head repeatedly, completely oblivious to Emerald's face.
"Seems friendly to me. How come you always seem to dread meeting them, huh? Ooh! A Natu! I never seen one before in person! Kinda small for a bird, if you ask me! You have weird friends, you know that? Hiya Spinda! You look different as usual! You know, it's really easy to tell Spinda apart, you know? I mean, have you ever seen two Spinda that looks the same! Are you playing whack a Spinda's head? Ooh, I wanna try it to! Can I play? Huh, can I? Can I?" the Wooper continued to blab quickly about, bouncing on Emerald on every word.
Sapphire blinked. She looked down on Ruby. "...Who's that weirdo?"
"It must be a wild pokemon who lives here." Ruby said, crossing his paws. "Don't ask me why he's with Emerald."
"You have weird friends, you know that?" Sapphire said bluntly at Emerald. Emerald headbutted the Wooper off his tempo and glared at Sapphire. "Be quiet! I have enough listening to that Wooper talking nonstop already!"
"Don't forget Sapph," Ruby added. "You're his friend too." his reply was a sharp peck on the head. "Ow!"
With Blue
Blue grinned happily as she skipped-followed the grumpy Azurill aka Green. Green just continued on with an un-amused look. After a while, Blue started to whistle, which irritated the already irritated Green. Green stopped and hopped around to face Blue, who stopped whistling and smiled at Green. "What?" she asked sweetly. "Can you please stop following me or at least stop whistling?" Green said with a bitter look. "Hee hee...Nope!" Blue replied happily. Green sighed. "Then at least stop licking your paws." he grumbled as he hopped back around.
"I can't help it if they're so tasty!" Blue said, licking her other paw for the fifth time since following Green.
"You can." Green replied. "You're just a Teddiursa, so your pokemon instincts took over."
"See? I can't help it then!"
Suddenly, the ground shook. Blue blinked in surprised and look around. "An Earthquake? Stampede?" she said. Green groaned and hopped off the road. "Wait for me!" Blue said, running after Green.
They hid in nearby bushes. "Well? What's going on?" Blue asked in a whisper. It just seems like the right thing to do.
As if to answer Blue's question, a horde of Rhyhorn stopped in front of them ("Do they even live around here?" Blue commented quietly. "Sh." Green whispered sharply). "Where is that blue idiot?" one of the Rhyhorn said angrily, looking around. Another stomped its foot. "That bastard...when I find him, I'll make sure the other pokemon needs to prepare a burial ground!"
"Now now..." a third Rhyhorn said. "We have to torture 'im first."
"The damn pipsqueak shouldn't have gone far." the Rhyhorn that seems to be like the leader said. "That freaking guy had a permanent grumpy look, a sore thumb on an Azurill's face."
At this comment, Blue reflexively looked at Green, who refused to have eye contact with her.
"Stupid thing...who the hell does he think he is anyways?" the first Rhyhorn huffed. "Come on, no point in staying here." the leader grunted, and the horde ran off into the distance.
When the coast is clear (according to Blue's instinct), Blue walked out of the bushes and back on the road, Green following. Blue looked at the distance the Rhyhorn went. "So~..." Blue looked at Green. "...What did you do this time?" she said in a half sigh, as if she's a exasperated mother. "Just for the record," Green said. "It was those stupid Rhyhorn's fault to begin with."
"Oh Green," Blue sighed, then smirked a bit. "Never thought you'll be the rebel type."
"I don't want to hear that from you when you're licking her paws."
"But it's good!"
With Crystal
"Really Gold!" Crystal scolded the Farfetch'd. "You just had to anger those Beedrill!"
"They started it!" Gold yelled back.
"Oh sure! Says the one who threw the plant stalk at them!"
"They were insulting me and my face!"
"It's not even your real one!"
"But-hey watch it!" Gold yelled at the Beedrill that almost stung him.
Right now, the two are being chased by a horde of Beedrill, thanks to yours truly.
Crystal continued to run and jump over logs and stuff. She still continued running when Gold face planted at a tree (he was flying) when he told off the Beedrill from earlier. Crystal sweatdropped. I told you to don't fly if you can't watch where you're going...
Crystal ran for a little bit more when the Beedrill decided to call the attack off and went back to wherever they came from. Crystal sighed, and collapsed, too tired with the adrenaline drained out.
"Smooth move, SSG." a voice huffed. Crystal lifted her head to see Gold. She immediately stifled a laughter. "Wow Gold...you look..."
Gold rolled his eyes. "Gee, you really like to watch other's suffering, don't you?" he said sarcastically. He's sprouting a few bumps on his head that stacked up to look like those dango on a stick thingy. There are also bumps on his back, so it looked like he was a plate/bowl of takoyaki. Also, his plant stalk's top half is dangling with a small portion still connected. "Speak for yourself." Crystal said, getting up.
Gold grumbled about revenge as he tried to fix his stalk by using some honey he found earlier. He ended up breaking it in half completely, but that was expected so Gold just threw it away. "I'm looking for another, stronger one." he grumbled and flew off. "Make sure to watch where you're going!" Crystal called out. "Yeah yeah! I know! Jeez, I'm not an idi-Ow!"
Crystal sweatdropped. "Okay...that was my fault."
With the Hoenn Trio
After Emerald managed to shoo the Wooper away, he sighed and sat on the ground for a rest. "I'm never gonna like a Wooper again." he said. "It ain't that bad." Sapphire said. "It's like having you two bicker, only it's just a bunch of unrelated blabbering. Much worse, if you ask me." Emerald said. "We don't argue that much." Sapphire and Ruby said defensively. "Yeah, yeah..." Emerald said.
"By the way," Sapphire said to Ruby. "Stop dancin' already!"
"I'm not dancing! I'm trying to stand!" Ruby said.
"You sure are doin' a lousy job of it."
"I'm a Spinda!"
"I'm about ta fall off 'ere!"
"Then don't perch on top of my head!"
*Peck*
"Ow! What was that for!"
Emerald sighed as another argument occured. "...Why am I stuck with them?" he muttered. "This whole middleman stuff is really taking a toll..."
"Oh yeah?" Sapphire challenged Ruby. "Well, I think that face is perfect for you! An idiotic face for an idiotic moron!"
"What did you say?!"
"Ya ain't deaf, squiggly eyes!"
"Flightless pokemon!"
"Dancing maniac!"
"Staring moron!"
*Peck*
"Ow!"
At least this time they have new name callings... Emerald thought with a sigh.
With Red
He continued to walk around, talking to a few pokemon here and there. At one point, he could have sworn he saw a Farfetch'd being pecked the life out of him, but at the time, he was riding on a Ursaring (transportation for a mile or so), so he couldn't be sure.
"That's strange..." Red said out loud. "There's already a mark I made on this tree."
Don't tell me I've been going in one big circle all this time...
"Ahh!" a distant voice screamed out. Red perked up at the call and looked at the direction it came from. He went on all fours and quickly ran towards the source.
When he went out of the forest and into a clearing (still surrounded by forests), he saw a Hoppip waving around frantically. He immediately recognized it as Yellow. "Help me~!" she yelled as she was tossed and turned by the wind. "Yellow?! Hang in there! I'm coming!" Red said in surprise and quickly ran towards Yellow. "And uh...I'm Red by the way!"
With Yellow
Yellow managed to see a Sentret coming to her rescue. "Hang in there! I'm coming! And uh...I"m Red by the way!"
The last bit was unnecessary, since Yellow already recognized him without the introduction anyways.
"Who~a!" Yellow said as the (slight) wind got stronger, and she started to do triple and quadruple flips in the air while being blown into the forest. Red tried to keep up, but only managed to be a few meters away.
Yellow now knows the terror of napping in the open.
And now she's glad she didn't eat anything yet.
With Gold
Gold managed to find another plant stalk and went back to where Crystal was waiting. The bumps faded away, much to Gold's delight. "Okay, now with this settled, now what?" Gold said. "We walk again." Crystal said, already walking down the road. "It's such a waste, walking when we could be doing other stuff. We're pokemon for Arceus' sake!"
"I already have enough with the Beedrill, aren't you?" Crystal replied. "That's a different story." Gold said. "Yeah, sure." Crystal said automatically. Gold frowned. "You don't care, do you..."
"Nope, I do not."
With the Hoenn Trio
Emerald noticed the grass next to him to start shaking. A Teddiursa and a grumpy Azurill came out. The Teddiursa eyes' lit up. "Emerald!" she squealed. "Blue!" Emerald said in surprise. "..." he looked at the Azurill expectantly. "...What?" Green huffed. "In any case," Blue said, licking her paws. "What happened to those two?" she pointed at Sapphire and Ruby.
Ruby's left eye is know a purple bump. A few peck marks and claw marks littered his overall body. He's currently out of commission at the moment, lying on the floor. Sapphire, who's standing next to him stared at Blue proudly despite having two black eyes, a clipped wing, and three bumps stacked up together on her head. "Hiya, Blue!"
"..." Blue blinked with a blank smile, taking in the picture before her. She waved cheerfully as if the pause didn't happened. "Hello, Sapphire!" she said just as cheerfully. "But that Azurill doesn't fit you, Green." Emerald told the said guy. His reply was a whack with the tail on the back of his head. Problem is, the tail is to heavy, and Green got flung a few feet away in response.
"Oh Green. You should know by now that attacking with your tail won't work like that." Blue sighed in (happy) exasperation.
"I-in any case..." Emerald got up slowly, a bruise forming on his head already. "Have you seen the others yet?"
Blue shook her head. "Nope. You're the first ones." she replied. Emerald sighed. "I guess we should just go walk around and find them. Or stay here and wait for them." he muttered. Blue laughed. "But that's too boring! Let's go find them!" she walked over to Green. "Come on Green! Let's go!" she said as she dragged Green by the tail and pumped her other paw in the air.
"Do you think you can drag Ruby too?" Emerald called out after Blue. "You're the only one with some sort of hands!"
With Gold
"One touch on my horns and you'll be badly poisoned, so don't even think about doing that again." Crystal hissed back at Gold with menace. They're now hiding in a cave from a horde of pretty much every single third stage-evolution within ten meters from them.
"Yeah well...why don't you just go poison the others?" Gold muttered back. "Because then I'll be flattened." Crystal said bluntly. "So me being flattened is okay but you isn't? Where's the so called logic in that, huh Super Serious Gal?" Gold said. "You started it." Crystal glared at Gold. "Ya don't have to be that angry..." Gold said, crossing his wings. "It was my plant stalk that got smashed to pieces. For the third time."
The second time was when a wild Swinub decided to have a celery snack.
"And? You can fly away. I'm still stuck running away from them!" Crystal objected.
"I smashed into three trees getting here!"
"I nearly got stomped fifteen times!"
"That's nearly! It doesn't count!"
"When we go back to being humans," Crystal said with a glaring look. "I'll make sure to make you know how it feels like to be dragged into someone else's punishment."
"No need, I already know." Gold replied, referring to the times when he was accused instead of Emerald. Of course, he was the mastermind, but it wasn't like he did it himself so...yeah, Crystal is just being a biased jerk.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Crystal asked skeptically. Gold was about to answer but thought better of it. Might as well just save it until it gives him more of a better deal. "Nothing." Gold replied. "Hmm..." Crystal said, clearly doubting his words. "Aw, come on SSG! I'm not that bad!" Gold said. "Why does everyone think of me like that? What am I, some kind of unwanted pest or something?"
"Yes, Gold, that is exactly what you are."
"...You can at least be not blunt about it..."
After the coast is clear (according to Gold)
"Ow!" Gold said as he covered his new cut with his wing. Crystal, holding a sharp piece of rock in her mouth, frowned. "Hold still!" she ordered. "No idiot is going to comply when someone is trying to hurt him! I told you to find something to help me, not do more damage!" Gold said, backing away when Crystal started to walk towards him. "And an idiot is going to think it's good to go out into the open when on preying grounds. Clearly the sound of a horde of Zangoose who you so clearly angered before means that it's safe to go out!"
"I didn't hear them!"
"As if! Besides, the ground shaking didn't send a signal to your lousy brain?!"
"I thought it was an earthquake!"
"An earthquake?!" Crystal spit the rock out. "Oh, never mind! I'll never understand you and your tactless brain."
"Gee, you're sounding like Wild Gal." Gold commented. "How so?" Crystal asked. "You keep arguing while throwing insults." Gold grinned. "Don't tell me you've fallen for-whoa!" Gold stopped to dodge Crystal who charged at him. "Chill! You're not a Tauros!"
When the coast is clear (according to Gold's "updated" decision)
Crystal looked at Gold disapprovingly. Gold, who is covered in soot, coughed out smoke. "...Stupid smokescreen and flamethrower." Gold muttered.
When the coast is clear (according to Gold because third time's supposed to be the charm)
"Welcome back." Crystal said monotonously as she watched Gold wipe off the slime. "Glad to be back." Gold said in the same voice. "Actually, shouldn't you be more...worried for me?" Gold snapped. "Why should I worry about you when you went straight towards the danger knowing full well that it's dangerous." Crystal said back without much emotion. "I didn't know those bunch of pokemon holds grudges for so long!" Gold said. "Whatever." Crystal said.
When the coast is clear (according to Crystal, finally)
"How come nothing happens when you decide?" Gold grumbled as the walked in the forest. "Because I used my head." Crystal replied. "Yeah? Well, I used my gut!" Gold said. "Well it looks like your gut is terrible at making decisions." Crystal replied looking back to see Gold.
Crystal heard a faint rustle and turned back to the source of the sound. The two dexholders-now-pokemon heard a voice coming closer. "...and then we'll find Silver! I wonder which pokemon his is right now..." a chipper voice said. "Doesn't that sound like..." Crystal started. The bushes rustled and split to reveal a Teddiursa holding an Azurill with a Wooper, a beat up Natu, and a more beat up Spinda following.
The Teddiursa blinked. She licked her paw before saying, "Hello, Crystal and Gold!"
"Blue?!" the said duo said in surprise. They looked at the Azurill. Stare~.
Green grunted. "Hi." he forced. Gold pointed at Green with his wing. "That totally doesn't suit you, senior."
"I know, now shut up."
"So you're a Nidoran, huh." Sapphire said. Crystal blinked. "Sapphire? What happened to you and Ruby?" she looked at the Spinda when she said his name. "It was her/his fault!" Sapphire and Ruby pointed at each other. They glared at each other. "No it's not! Can you stop copying me?!"
"Anyways." Gold looked at Emerald. "...That totally fits you!" Gold laughed after looking at him for a bit. A tick mark formed on Emerald's head. "As if!"
"While it's nice to see your friends turn into random pokemon, we should go find the others! The more the merrier!" Blue said and walked away. "Wonderful logic there." Green muttered sarcastically. "And you can stop dragging me now."
"Why thank you! And it's too fun to stop!"
"Pesky woman."
With Silver
When Silver woke up, he heard a stampede of pokemon from the distance. He picked up a few words like "Azurill" and "Farfetch'd", but it didn't matter to him. Well, besides the fact that he could understand pokemon now.
He was about to walk when he realized that he's on all fours. And something along the lines of a tail attached. He tried to turn his head as much as possible to see what his body looks like. It was a cute pink color, to say the least.
...
After a process of elimination, Silver cursed under his breath. "A Skitty?!" he nearly yelled. A flock of Pidgey flew from the distance due to how loud Silver's voice is. Silver ran to the nearest lake/pond. He stared at his reflection, glaring at the pink fur and the forever happy eyes (well, happy and angry at the same time, seeing as how Silver is angry after all). "Damn you, Ani." he growled.
Silver turned to walk away. He refuses to have any of the other dexholders (especially Gold) see him like this and will go great lengths to find a hole under a rock and stay there until the day's over or die. He didn't go very far, because when he turn his head, he saw a wisp of his tail. And even though it's just a wisp, it still caught his eye and stopped him from his tracks.
The tail swayed back and forth due to the slight breeze Silver picked up from the back of his thoughts. He eyed and followed the tail's trail.
Author's Note:
Can anyone said "Tail's trail" super fast ten times? I gave up on one try :P
The tail continued to sway back and forth, and back and forth...
Back and forth...back and forth...
To Silver, it felt like hours, even though it was just a few seconds. And for some reason, he had the urge to chase the thing. He could have a swore (but will deny if asked) he heard the tail telling him to catch it.
Before he knew it, he started to chase his tail (which he didn't recognize as one) and ran in circles.
He was so engrossed with his tail, that he didn't hear the rustle of the bushes nearby, nor did he hear the voice of a certain Teddiursa. "...or a Teddiursa! We could be twins-" the group looked at the Skitty who's still chasing his tail. "...Or a cute Skitty!" the Teddirusa squealed and lunged at Silver. Silver finally noticed them and stopped when Blue squealed, but didn't have time to dodge. As a result, the two pokemon tumbled across the ground and into the pond.
Blue got out first, hugging the drenched Skitty in her arms. "Nice to meet you again, Silvy!" she said happily. Silver grumbled something inaudibly, but immediately stiffened with hardened anger when he saw the grinning Farfetch'd who has a new plant stalk and leaning on it. "Hiya, Silver!" Gold said. Silver's greeting to Gold was a headbutt to the sky. "Ale~!" Gold cried as he turned into a twinkle.
"That does not suit you." Green commented. "Same thing to you." Silver growled back.
With Yellow and Red
"Excuse me, Mr. Aipom?" Red said from below. A dozing Aipom looked down from the tree. "Me?" it asked, pointing to itself. Red nodded. "Yes. Can you do me a favor and..." Red pointed to the still flying Hoppip. "Catch that Hoppip for me?"
Yellow, who got tired of pointless flailing and got used to it, simply waved sheepishly at the Aipom while tumbling along the wind.
The Aipom widened its eyes and hopped on its feet. "Yikes! A Hoppip astray from it's gang! Not good at all!" the Aipom started to jump from the branches to reach Yello. When it got close, the Aipom leaped and swiped at Yellow but the wind changed direction and it missed. "I'll see you later..." Yellow waved goodbye as she got carried farther and farther away. The Aipom fell down with a "Yikes!" and landed on a sleeping Snorlax, got bounced back up and slam into a tree branch before going back down again and landing next to the Snorlax. "Ow..." the Aipom said, just laying there.
Red, who was running to catch up to Aipom, stopped where Aipom landed. "You okay?" Red said worriedly. "Yeah..." the Aipom managed to say and got up. "Anyways, why did that Hoppip go astray? Normally a Hoppip will be with its gang and stay with its gang, you know?" the Aipom said as it rubbed its head. Red rubbed his own head in his signature way. "Yeah well...my friend's a bit different..."
Ten minutes later when Red found Yellow
"It's a good thing the wind led you to the tree, huh?" Red said, looking up at Yellow who's entangled in the gnarly branches of a tree in an opening. "Desho..." Yellow sweatdropped. "...I'll kinda like it more if it led me to the ground though."
Red laughed at the comment. "Eh, it'll be alright. Wait here, I'm going to go find a pokemon that can get you down." and with that, Red went away into the denser part of the forest. Yellow tried to wave back. "It's not like I can do anything else..." Yellow commented to herself as the wind shook the branches holding her up and down. I hope these branches won't break under the pressure...
In the Forest
Red looked around and stopped running when he saw a Bulbasaur. "Excuse me," Red said as he approached her (judging from the flower tucked behind its ear). "Yeah?" the Bulbasaur said, stopping her harvest of cherries. "Can you use vine whip to get a friend of mine, a Hoppip, down a tree?" Red asked. "Sure." the Bulbasaur said warmly. She motioned Red with her vines. "Lead the way!"
With Yellow
Yellow, who was in a slight doze, perked up when she heard the faint rustle of footsteps. She blinked and saw Red walked with a Bulbasaur. "Hi there!" Bulbasaur waved with her vine. "Hello." Yellow said. "She's pretty tangled up there, isn't she?" the Bulbasaur told Red without taking her eyes off from the tree. "Heh heh...yeah..." Red said.
"Let's see..." the Bulbasaur raised her vines and after hovering around the branches for a bit, began to take out the branches. Some of the weaker and smaller ones broke off completely and Bulbasaur let them drop to the ground. Red dodged one with a raise of his foot. When Bulbasaur is almost finished, she gently wrapped Yellow with one of the vines and used the other vine to break off the remaining branches and free Yellow. "There!" Bulbasaur said happily as she set Yellow done and put her vines away.
"Thank you!" Yellow said happily. "You're welcome!" Bulbasaur chimed. Just then, a slight breeze picked. Yellow's leaves fluttered a bit before being lift off the ground again. "Not again!" Yellow flailed. "Yellow!" Red said as he ran after Yellow. "Oh dear." Bulbasaur said and followed Red. Unfortunately, the breeze picked up even more and Yellow was too high up for Red to catch her. Bulbasaur tried to use Vine Whip but they entered the denser part of the forest and couldn't catch Yellow without being entangled by the branches and leaves.
"Waah..." Yellow cried as she went back to her fate as a pokemon. "Don't worry!" Bulbasaur called out, still running with Red. "With luck, you might end up in another tree again!"
"What's the odds of that?" Red asked to Bulbasaur. "Probably as slim as a Hoppip being alone." Bulbasaur said back. Both sweatdropped.
The breeze/wind changed direction and the trio ran/floated left before going right again. "Our chances..." Red panted a bit. "Better be here soon." Bulbasaur finished.
With the Others
"Oi." Silver growled. "Why the hell do you have to be on top of me?"
"Because I have to cover your eyes." Gold grinned cheekily. "It's not the best method, but we'll have to deal with it." Blue said. "But why does Gold of all people have to cover my eyes while riding on me?" Silver snapped. "I'm too big to ride on, Green and Emerald doesn't have any hands of sorts to cover your eyes, Ruby refused, Sapphire's too small, and Crystal...doesn't exactly have the right body structure." Blue replied. "Why do we have ta cover 'is eyes anyways?" Sapphire asked. "Because if we don't, we'll have to stop every few seconds and watch Silver chase his tail or some random patch of grass for ten minutes." Emerald replied.
"I don't trust this guy." Silver grumbled. "Don't worry! It's not like I'm going to lead you to a tree or anything." Gold laughed. "I'll be hit too."
"You could lead me to a lake and then fly." Silver pointed out. "And stop moving so much, your feathers are tickling my nose."
"Don't worry Silver." Crystal assured next to him. "I'll make sure Gold doesn't do any funny business while he becomes your eyes."
The group stopped walking when they heard a faint yell from behind, some picking up the rustle of the grass.
Sapphire leaned a bit from Ruby's head for a better look. The rest (except Silver) saw a small silhouette and as it got larger, they could make it out as a Hoppip. "What's going on?" Silver asked. "A Hoppip's flyin' about." Sapphire said. "I see two pokemon chasing it!" Emerald said, bouncing up and down. Blue stared at the two pokemon. "I dunno who the Bulbasaur is, but the Sentret's Red. Which means..."
At this point, Yellow flew passed them. "Hi guys..." she said, still crying as she passed by. "...Yellow!" the Hoenn trio and Crystal said. "Excuse us!" the Bulbasaur said as she ran pass between Crystal and Silver. "Yeah, excuse...oh, hey guys!" Red stopped when he recognized his friends. "What happened to Yellow?" Gold said. "Wrong question. Explain!" Silver demanded. "I can't explain if I don't know what's going on!" Gold replied back. "Oh for Arceus' sake." Silver grumbled. "Never mind that," Crystal said. "After her!"
And with that the gang ran after Bulbasaur (Sapphire just yelled at Ruby to run faster and to stop wriggling and Blue dragged Green who was somewhat slow). "Minna..." Yellow said in sad-happiness. The wind changed direction to left. "Left!" Blue said and the gang turned left. "Watch out for the tree root!" Gold said. "When?!" Silver said back. "Now!" Gold yelled. Silver blindly jumped and ended up faceplanting on a tree. When he skidded back down to the ground, Gold hopped off and sheepishly looked at the glaring Skitty. "Gold..." Silver growled. "Alright, before we get into a fight." Blue appeared randomly in between them. "Get Yellow first. The rest is already ahead."
"Can't you fly to her Sapph?" Emerald asked Sapphire. "I can't fly." she snapped back. "Okay, okay..." Emerald backed away from the topic. Blue, Gold, and Silver caught up. Emerald perked up. "But Gold can fly!" he said. "You get Yellow!" he told Gold. "I won't make it." Gold said reluctantly. "Just try!" the rest said exasperatedly. "Fine..." Gold grumbled. He flapped harder to gain speed and tried to get to Yellow. Just when he was about to get one of Yellow's leaves, the wind changed direction again. "Wait!" Gold said and slammed into a tree. "Sayonara..." Yellow said as she swept away.
Crystal sighed when she saw the scene. "Our only flying type pokemon that can fly can't fly properly." she grumbled to herself. "You have...interestingly unique friends..." Bulbasaur sweatdropped as she told Red. "Heh heh..." Red sweatdropped.
Five minutes later
"This is all your fault!" Crystal snapped. "Jeez, SSG. It's not my my fault-" Gold started.
"It's not?" Crystal said forcefully.
"...I mean...It's not...fully my fault..." Gold said sheepishly. "Yes it is." Everyone else replied. They lost Yellow's trail when Gold flew into a hive of pretty pissed off Venemoth. The Venemoth chased them until they've lost track of where they are. Because of Gold's blunder, some of the gang laid on the ground, panting to catch some oxygen. "Damn you Gold." Silver muttered as he sprawled on the ground. "Emerald distracted me!" Gold protested. "As if!" Emerald wheezed out from a protruding tree root.
"Anyways...how are you going to find your friend now?" Bulbasaur asked. "We'll just continue what we've been doing." Blue answered. "Walk around until we find her."
"That's just a waste of time." Emerald said. "Well it's not like we can do anything about it." Blue said. "Why can't we just get Gold to fly properly and scout the forest? It's easier if you ask me." Emerald replied. "Good luck with that. Last time I tried ta teach Gold how ta climb trees and swing from them, he had a red mark on his face for a week." Sapphire said. "So?" Emerald said.
"You don't seriously think Gold will be able to fly properly, do you?" Green said. Emerald looked at Gold. "Well?" he said expectantly. Gold shrugged. Emerald sweatdropped. "By the way," Ruby looked at Gold as if Gold offended him somehow. "Why on earth would you want to learn how to be as barbaric as Sapphire?!"
"I just wanted to know how to escape quickly if the situation asks for it!" Gold said. "And what do ya mean by barbaric?! Climbing trees and swinging from them ain't so!" Sapphire snapped at Ruby.
"What kind of situation calls for swinging?" Bulbasaur asked. "Probably for one of his pranks again."Crystal mumbled. "Can't he just fly away?" Bulbasaur said. "...I guess..." Crystal said hesitantly. She forgot there's an outsider with them.
With Yellow
Approximately five minutes after the gang lost track of Yellow, the wind blew her to another tree where she landed into a pokemon's nest. Since it's inside the tree's trunk, she won't have to worry about flying away again for a while.
"For a hole to be big enough to let me through..." Yellow said to herself as she rolled herself upright (she landed upside down). "This must be one giant tree..."
"Hoot! What are you doing here, hoot!" a startled voice said in the dark. "Huh?" Yellow said, looking for a source. "I said, hoot! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU STRANGER, HOOT!"
"Waah! I'm sorry, but you don't have to shout!" Yellow said, tearing up from the echoed voice. "Ow!" she said when she felt a sharp stab on top of her head. "Hoot! That what you get for breaking in, hoot!" the voice hmphed. "So...who are you?" Yellow said. "Hoot! You don't even know the resident of the place you're breaking in, hoot!" the voice said. Yellow heard a fluttering noise as if wings were rapidly flapping out of anger. "S-sorry...and I didn't really mean to barge into your home-"
"Didn't mean to, hoot?! You definitely mean to, hoot!"
At this point, Yellow's eyes adjusted and she saw an angry Hoothoot to her right. "No I didn't!" she said. "Hoot!" Hoothoot said, crossing its wings. "Um..." Yellow said awkwardly. "...I'll just excuse myself so..." she inched her way to the exit.
"You just wait a minute, hoot!" Hoothoot said, pointing a wing at Yellow. Yellow flinched. "Eek! Yes?!" she said. Hoothoot stared at Yellow intensely with a frown. Yellow cowered a bit from the intense glare.
"Hoot!" Hoothoot said suddenly and pointed at Yellow again. "Yes ma'am!" Yellow stiffened. "I'm a male, hoot! How rude, hoot!" Hoothoot said, flapping angrily again. "S-sorry..." Yellow said.
"HOOT! GET OUT, HOOT!"
"E-excuse me!" Yellow scrambled out of the nest (she got partially stuck during her way out, but she got out with a good headbutt from Hoothoot). Yellow fell to the ground, but before she landed, a breeze came and she went swiftly across to a bush before getting stuck in that too. "Ow..." Yellow mumbled. She tried to get out but after a while, she gave up. Better this way than to float across the whole forest, if not more.
All's that left for Yellow to do is to hope the others can find her.
With the Others
"Ow!" Gold said for the twentieth time. They had found a nearby Pidegeotto that didn't have anything to do, so they asked him to teach Gold how to fly. Pidegeotto agreed...but clearly Gold still had trouble. Still. It's gone to the point where the rest got used to it and decided to play minigames to pass the time.
Pidegeotto sighed and shook his head into his wing. "You're hopeless." he sweatdropped at Gold who was currently trying to get his head out of the tree. He finally got his head out with a 'pluck' and turned to Pidegeotto, angry. "It's your teaching that's hopeless!" he said back. "No Gold." Blue said, playing makeshift chess with Green. "It's you who is hopeless." Blue moved a piece of pecha berry. "Check." she said. Green murmured something to Bulbasaur and Bulbasaur used her vines to move an oran berry. "Checkmate." Green replied. "Tch." Blue pouted.
Gold muttered something under his breath. "Sorry, guys." Pidegeotto said to the rest. He unfolded his wings, preparing to take off. "But I think your friend here is just too hopeless. Later!" and with that, he flew away. "Hey! Take that back!" Gold yelled after him. Crystal sighed. She made an X in the dirt. "Tic tac toe." she said to Emerald, making a line through the three X's. "Fifty rounds, thirty ties, nineteen losses, one win...what is this, some kind of curse?" Emerald muttered to himself.
"Well? What's next?" Silver said, laying down on his belly. "Mr. Grumpy! Mr. Grumpy!" the group of Seedot surrounded him, either jumping around him on jumping on top of him. "Let's play tag! Let's play tag!"
"Get off, you good for nothing acorns." Silver grunted and flicked his tail to flick some Seedot off him. "And stop calling me that!"
"You seem to get along well with them." Red commented happily. "I don't want to hear that coming from someone who has Seedot as his armor." Silver deadpanned at how Red looks like. He's currently buried under a bunch of Seedot, and the only visible part of him is his eyes, nose, and mouth. "Heh heh...well, anyways. Now that our only method of finding Yellow so far is out, what do we do?"
"Checkmate."
"Ugh! Bulbasaur, you're helping him, aren't you?"
"How?! I don't even get the game!"
"Twenty more pushups, ya hear?!"
"Come on! I already did fifty on this filthy ground! Give me a break! Or at least put me in a cleaner environment"
"Everywhere in this forest is filthy accordin' to ya! *Peck* Now continue!"
"OW!"
"Crystal! One more time!"
"Again? It's getting boring..."
Red sweatdropped. "Uh...guys? You listening?"
"'Course we are!" Blue replied without looking away from the makeshift chessboard on the ground. "But the only thing we can do right now is either go scavenger hunting, wait for Yellow to float to us, or wait until Gold finally learns how to not be distracted when flying."
"It's a working progress..." Gold muttered. "Ah! As if!" Crystal retorted.
"Mr. Grumpy! Mr. Grumpy! Let's play hide and seek!"
"Yeah! Hide and Seek!"
"Only if you agree to hide from me forever."
"You meanie, Mr. Grumpy! Hahaha!"
"Stop calling me that!"
With Yellow
After a horde of Rhyhorn passed her, a flock of pidgey flew over, a pair of Aipom looked questioningly at her from above, a line of shroomish passed the bush, and a period of background chitter chatter, Yellow still waited for some sort of rescue.
With the Others
"Okay, we'll split into groups." Blue said a few minutes after Silver managed to scare the Seedot off (and that took quite a while, seeing as how Silver is just a cute little Skitty). "To make things easier, we'll group up by region. After a while, we'll meet up near that place where we found Sapphire and the others. Crystal, Gold, Silver, you guys may not know where it is, but get Gold to fly up. Going straight up in the air shouldn't be hard, even for Gold ("Hey!"). Any questions? No? Good. Now, The Kanto group (plus Bulbasaur) will scout the northern area, Johto western, and Hoenn eastern. As for the southern part...we'll do that later. Okay, let's go!"
Crystal and Gold watched Blue drag a reluctant Green by the tail again with Red following into the long grass before going to their direction (with Gold on top of Silver and covering Silver's eyes). Sapphire pecked Ruby to go while perched on his head again. Ruby grumbled something before complying. Emerald hopped after them, shaking his head when another argument started.
With the Hoenn Trio
"Why don't you hop with Emerald?" Ruby grumbled. "But then it'll be harder to peck at ya!" Sapphire replied. Emerald sighed, still hopping after Ruby. Why is he hopping? 'Cause walking is slower.
"We're trying to find Yellow! Why should you just sit on my head?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"We're going to see the same thing."
"So? Ya might miss something."
"How can you miss a pink Hoppip in greenery?!"
"I should I know?!"
Emerald sighed again. They entered a clearing with a field of flowers. Emerald looked around for a Hoppip stuck in a tree. No such luck. "Just look around!" Ruby finished the argument. "Hmph, same to ya." Sapphire turned her head. Emerald noticed an Oddish walking by. "Excuse me." Emerald said. "Hm? What?" Oddish said, stopping. "Have you seen a Hoppip around?" he asked. "I saw a group of Hoppip, if that's what you mean." Oddish answered. "No, I meant just one Hoppip."
"Why would a Hoppip be alone? They'll float away." Oddish said. "Yeah...there were circumstances..." Emerald said sheepishly. "Whatever." Oddish walked away nonchantly. "A Sentret's by himself, so I guess there are oddballs out there that like to be what they are."
"...What an oddball." Sapphire commented when Oddish left. "She's...definitely direct at things." Ruby said. "Well," Emerald turned to the duo. "Let's go to a different direction. Yellow doesn't seem to be here."
Meanwhile, Oddish was thinking to herself about how weird it was for a Natu, Wooper, and a Spinda that's taken a lot of pecks to be friends, but then again, she had seen a grumpy Azurill and a happy-go-lucky Teddiursa together, so it's not that surprising.
To her, anything that's happened twice is considered reasonable, no matter how strange it is.
With the Kanto Trio (plus Bulbasaur)
"Blue, stop dragging me." Green said. "If I do that, then you'll stay put or run away." Blue said simply, licking on her free paw. "I have to say, how did you guys all meet? It's kinda rare to find a bunch unique friends. Or at least, a diverse group of friends that are very close to each other." Bulbasaur said to Red. "Ahahaha...there were...circumstances..." Red said. "Like? Were you a former team with a trainer or something?" Bulbasaur said. "Ah...you can...say that...yeah, let's just say that's it..." Red sweatdropped. "Hm..." Bulbasaur said out loud but was going through other scenarios that might work in her head.
"Oh! It's you again!" a voice from above said. The group looked up. Red lit up. "It's the Aipom from before!" he waved. The said Aipom waved back. "What happened to the Hoppip?" he asked. "We're trying to find her again." Bulbasaur replied. "Again?!" Aipom said in surprise. "Have you seen her?" Blue asked. Aipom shook his head. "Not since I tried to help with Sentret."
"Oh...well, we'll just get going then! Bye!" Blue waved and continued to drag Green away, Bulbasaur and Red following.
With the Johto Trio (So what if the Kanto part was short :p)
"Left." Gold grinned. "Right." Crystal countered. Silver followed the Nidoran and turned right, avoiding the path of cockleburs. "Almost had it." Gold muttered. Crystal shook her head in exasperation.
"Well? Any sign of Yellow." Silver asked his companions. "Nope." they replied. Crystal noticed a Hoothoot perching on a branch. "Excuse me!" Crystal called out, stopping in her tracks. Silver stopped too. "Hoot?" the Hoothoot, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened one eye and looked down. "What is it, hoot?"
"Have you seen a Hoppip around here?" Gold answered for Crystal. "Hoot? I never seen one, hoot." Hoothoot said, closing his eyes again. "Oh...thanks anyways!" Crystal said. "Let's go." Crystal started to walk again and Silver followed from the sound of her footsteps.
When they left, an Aipom jumped over to where Hoothoot is. The Aipom set down the berries it was carries with his tail. "Here ya go! Two oran berries!" the Aipom said brightly. "Hoot? What for, hoot?" the Hoothoot opened his eye again, a bit agitated now. "Ale?" Aipom frowned. "You asked me to collect some oran berries for you a while ago. Don't you remember?"
"I never did such thing." Hoothoot said and closed his eye again with a small 'hmph'. "Huh?" Aipom scratched his head in confusion. "Don't worry about it." a voice from the next tree said. Aipom turned and a Spinarak came out of the branches on a string. "Hoothoot here is very forgetful. He'll forget about half of the events that happened during the day." the Spinarak explained.
"Eh..." the Aipom said. He then noticed a splash of pink in the bushes and looked down. "Say...was that Hoppip always there?" Aipom pointed at the napping Hoppip stuck in the bushes. "For a while, yeah." the Spinarak said. "Just let her stay there for a while. Heard that she's been flying all over the place, according to the network of Dedenne."
"Being a Hoppip must be tough." Aipom commented. "Don't they hang out in groups? Something about more weight or something?"
"Ah, doesn't matter. There's always that chance of being carried astray." the Spinarak shrugged it off. "Hm..." Aipom continued to start the Hoppip. "By the way, shouldn't we at least put her somewhere where it's easier to find her? The way she is right now, no one passing by will see her, unless they're as tall as a Ursaring or something."
"Don't worry, Hoppip usually float in the wind, so it's not like they won't be able to find her." the Spinarak said.
"I just don't get it." a feminine voice said. "Get what?" Aipom said at the same time when Spinarak said, "Who?"
The two pokemon looked next to the bushes to find a Purrloin looking up to Spinarak, leaning on the tree with one paw and the other on her hip. "If you know this much, then why didn't you say anything about the Hoppip when the little trio up ahead asked?" she said with a small teasing smirk. Spinarak stiffened. "I don't wanna talk to them! They're too scary!" he started to shiver violently. Aipom sweatdropped. "What's wrong with them? Are they Zangoose or something?"
"Just a Farfetch'd, Skitty, and a Nidoran." Purrloin replied. "What's so scary about that?" Aipom said. "Is it the Farfetch'd?"
"No!" the Spinarak said, still shivering. "I'm scared of the Skitty~!" the Spinarak quickly shot back up the tree, prolonging the last syllable on the way up. Aipom sweatdropped while Purrloin chuckled.
They stopped whatever they were doing/thinking when they heard the rumble of thudding footsteps. The two pokemon turned to the direction the Johto group was heading. From the distance, they saw the trio. They were running away from a horde of Ursaring.
"Damn you, Gold!" Silver growled as he blindly ran to whatever Gold was saying frantically (it was only during these times where he could be sure that Gold is saying the right direction). "This is all your fault!" Crystal yelled from behind. "All I did was acidentally swung my stalk to that one Ursaring's head. It didn't even hurt!"
"You stole their fruit!" the other two replied in loud voices.
"They just left them there!" Gold yelled back.
Purrloin jumped to a branch to avoid the incoming stampede. Aipom and Purrloin watched the commotion until they passed them several yards later, sweatdropping. "Uh..." Aipom didn't know what to say about the sudden intrusion. Purrloin chuckled a bit. "What's so funny?" Aipom asked. "That Farfetch'd had no idea that he could just fly above, didn't he?" she said with a smile/smirk before chuckling again. "He really is an idiot."
Aipom looked down. "Huh? What happened to the Hoppip?"
Purrloin stopped laughing and looked down in curiosity. The bush below had small indent where the Hoppip was. "Maybe she floated off from the stampede." Purrloin shrugged. She jumped back down to the ground. "Well anyways, see you later!"
"See you..." Aipom waved out of reflex. The Purrloin went away, jumping over the bushes outlining makeshift roads.
With Yellow
Yellow woke up to the sound of angry Ursaring and an arguing trio. She blinked and yelped in surprise when she realized that the setting has changed quite drastically and she's now riding the wind again. "Wait, that sounded like Yellow." Silver voice said while he's still running. Crystal and Gold turned to confirm it and found Yellow flying over the Ursaring. "Ah! Yellow!" They said. "Ah!" they quickly ran faster when the Ursaring picked up speed.
Yellow watched to the best of her ability (she kept rolling over). When the they reached a fork in the path, Gold said "Left!" while Crystal said "Right!"
"Right it is." Silver said and went right. "Oh, come on!" Gold said. "It's at choices like these where you pick the worst path." Silver replied shortly. Gold mumbled something about how it doesn't matter if the Ursaring is going to chase after them either way. They entered the right path with the Ursaring following. "W-wait! Oof!" Yellow said as she slammed into the tree in the middle of the two paths. She landed on the ground, a red mark in the middle of her face. "Hmm..." she said with squiggly eyes.
When the Johto Trio lost the Ursaring
"Okay, how do we get back to that fork in the road?" Gold asked. "She's probably flown away in another direction." Silver said. By the way, Gold is still being Silver's eyes for him.
"It can't hurt to try." Crystal said. "Besides, we reached the dead end of this road, might as well try the other." the trio continued to walk down the road they suspect is the one the used.
When they reached the fork, they spotted Yellow lying on the ground. She's still out cold. "Yellow!" Gold and Crystal said. Crystal hurried to shake Yellow a bit. Yellow woke up with a few drowsy blinks. "Hm? Crystal?"
"Yo, Straw Hat Gal!" Gold said with a wing. Silver, with one eye now open, waved with his (still hated) tail. Crystal helped Yellow up. "Hello!" Yellow started to tear up. "I thought I'll be flying away forever~!"
"Whoa, hold the tears!" Gold said. Then the wind picked up a bit and then Yellow started to float up. "Not again!" She said. "Yellow!" Crystal and Gold both jumped and tackled Yellow to the ground.
"Oof!"
"Thank goodness." Crystal and Gold said in relief. "You guys can get off of me now." Yellow's meek voice said from below Crystal. "Oops." Gold got off which lets Crystal to move away. Silver watched the scene, refusing to even slightly turn his head and see his tail. When Yellow got her bearings, she looked at Silver. "Um...you look great!...as a Skitty..." she said. "No need to compliment me." Silver said with a frown. "I hate it."
"Just be lucky Blue can't use a camera." Crystal said. "Now that we found you, Yellow," Crystal started walking. "We should go meet up with the others. Where was it again?"
"Some pond or lake or something." Gold replied. "Darn. We need to rely on Gold." Silver. "Hey, it's not that bad. I can fly up. I just can't fly to any places, that's all." Gold defended. "Well? Do your best." Silver said. "Just watch me, I'm a natural." Gold said with arrogance. He spread his wings and took off. Yellow watch him and was blown away from the gust of wind Gold made. Luckily, Silver caught her in time. "Seems tough to be you right now." he commented. "No kidding." Yellow sweatdropped.
Gold flew past the trees and looked around. He did a complete 360 but all he saw was green, green, and more shades of green. "At least let me see pink or yellow..." he muttered. "What ever happened to flowers?"
A different color caught his eye and upon closer look, saw a lake. He could even make out some small figures that if he squinted and told to himself hard enough, was the other dexholders. "I found a lake! I think I see the others too!" Gold called out to the others. "Where?" Crystal said back. "Uh...Northeast from here!" he said and flew back down. Unfortunately, he timed his landing a bit too late and e
nded up tripping on the ground and landing on his face.
The others ignored him (well, Crystal told Yellow to don't worry about it) and walked to the direction Gold said. Gold got up and shook some dust off. "Gee, thanks for you concern." he mumbled to himself sarcastically before running off after them.
When they got to the lake
"You found Yellow!" Blue said happily. "Eh...why is she tied to a stick?" she sweatdropped while pointing at Yellow. Yellow swung from the branch she was dangling on (she was tied with strong blades of grass). Gold, who was holding the said stick, grinned. "This way, she won't fly away without us noticing, right?"
"I'm pretty sure there were other ways to do this." Silver muttered, one eye covered. "Ah, whatever. At least it gave you a reason to see, right?" Gold laughed it off. "It's nice to know that you guys found her, but..." Bulbasaur looked around. "...What happened to Natu and the others?"
"Oh yeah...I forgotten about that..." Blue looked around. "Come to think of it, where's Green?" Red said, looking around the other direction.
"Oh, about that!" Blue laughed hesitantly. Remember that time where we were chased by some Yanmega before we got here? Yeah, I kinda used him as a Substitute Doll..."
"You sacrificed him?!"
"Serves him right." Silver smirked.
"Hmph. I don't see how I look like a doll in any way." a voice said. "Green!" Yellow said when she spotted Green glaring at Blue. Blue turned and immediately jumped back when she saw him. "Oh! Hello, my dear friend~!" she said nervously. "Tch." Silver commented in disappointment when he saw that Green seemed to be in perfect health.
"How did you survive?" Red asked. "I went into a sleeping Loudred's cave." Green replied simply. "Yanmega make an awful lot of noise, and they know what will happen if they wake the Loudred up." Green smirked a bit.
Everyone else sweatdropped. "...I guess that's one...not so dramatic way to stop a rampage..." Bulbasaur said, expecting a more out-of-the-world kind of solution.
Suddenly, the gang heard a type of sound you usually hear in those school announcements. "Etto...everyone! That is to say, everyone who knows me! Er, the dexholders! Um...oh, I give up. Here, you do it." a female voice said. "What? Why me?" a male voice said. "Just do it." the female said impatiently. "How hard is it to say something to a microphone, anyways?" the male voice said. "Hurry up." the female said.
"Where's the voice coming from?" Bulbasaur asked, looking around the sky. "Uh...complicated human technology. Don't worry about it." Red said.
"Um...this is Jack. Yeah, you guys probably don't know me. But anyways, the day's over, at least here anyways, so we'll have you teleport back to the warehouse in about...a minute! Or so the machine thingy says."
"There's too many stuff here!" another female voice said in the background. "Just shut up and work on fixing the pokemon translator thingy." another voice answered. After that, Jack turned off the speaker or something and signed off, because the sound of a sort of phone hitting plastic was heard before the speaker was cut off.
"...Well! You heard them! See ya next time, Bulbasaur!" Blue said after a moment of silence. "Wait, wha?" Bulbasaur blinked in confusion. Before anyone can say anything else, the dexholders teleported in a blink of an eye. The only proof that they were even there was the stick and grass. Bulbasaur blinked. "...Wha?"
In the Outer Dimension
The dexholders appeared in midair before landing on the ground. "Ow!"
"Welcome back, guys!" Emerald waved happily as Sapphire and Ruby helped some of the dexholders up (which allows the other dexholders that were crushed under them to get up as well). "How long have you guys been here?" Yellow asked. "Ah...about a few minutes before you came back." Ruby said. "They got lost." I replied, walking towards the newcomers with some drinks. It got kinda darker in the warehouse since the sun's setting, so the staff set up some lamps to brighten things up.
"How come it's already dusk here but it's like the afternoon in that world?" Blue asked as she took a sip of the drink. Blue's eyes widened and she spit the drink out. "Bleh! What is this?" Blue looked at the drink for a closer look while wiping her mouth with her arm. "It's Sweet Potato and Celery Juice!" The Hoenn Trio replied with grins.
The other dexholders who was about to drink it stopped in time and set the cups back on the tray. "Why would you even make that?" Blue exclaimed. "We had too much vegetables." I replied. "Don't worry, we were forced to drink Carrot and Guacamole Juice." Emerald assured Blue. Everyone else had dark lines over their heads.
"In any case," I took out the Randomizer Hat. "Let's go see what the next event is!" I reached in to take a slip of paper.
Ace Attorney Substitution!
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gold asked. "Um...I think you're supposed to become the characters in the Ace Attorney game...or something..." I said. "You don't even know?" Silver said. "..." I ignored him and lifted the Randomizer hat a bit. "What to do it again?"
"Why? It's like doing a play on some game, right?" Blue said. "I think we can handle it."
"Yeah, but I'm worried for whoever is the defendant." I deadpanned. "I don't see anyone of you to be great lawyers."
Blue shrugged. "We'll get used to it." she said.
"Oh brother." I said.
I hope this isn't against any rules or anything...I hope this doesn't count as a crossover?...
It's not like the characters from the game is going to appear or anything...
I tried to avoid the classics...like Pikachu, the Starters, Aipom...but I tried to have each person be a pokemon that their personality will fit in one way or another...except for Green and Silver. They're fun to mess with :p
I wanted to limit it to Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn and to be unevolved and small (because it's much more fun and cuter)...which is why it took a while to figure out who's going to be which.
Maybe I should do another event like this...but this time with pokemon from other regions...and maybe more random! XD Should I?
I don't know if all the Pokemon live in the forest, but let's just say they do in a forest where there's lakes and clearings and small valleys, ok?
I also tried to incorporate the Pokemon's behavior as well.
At first I wanted Sapphire to be Skitty...then have her chase her tail despite everything and have Ruby watch her.
Oh, and if there are other aspects of a pokemon from the anime or something, I wouldn't know because I based everything off from pokemondb.
And for the long(ish) wait, it's like...13000+ words!
But you know, I somehow managed to finish this chapter before I finished researching for the other...oh well. :/ I'll just...I dunno. The new series will hopefully be soon, but then, there's school...so...yeah...I don't think I'll be doing this series for a while until I actually finish "researching" and start figuring out how to start the freaking story...I just hope I can do justice with it...
Just Review! Everyone should Review! Thisiscomingfromahypocritebutstill-Review!
