Author's Note: Okay, this is probably going to be the shortest chapter for "Road to Becoming a Better Ninja, with my Brother?" because some invention called school got in the way and-

Bertha: I hate to be rude dearie, but aren't you supposed to be doing something with your computer?

…Me: Uh, ITS (Information Technology Services) doesn't run on the weekends. So, no. Anyway, I-

Brawly: Sorry to interrupt, but don't you have two chapters to read?

Me: AUGH, Brawly! Don't remind me. Now, I know I'm supposed to be doing homework, but I thought I'd give you this chapter as an update. Remember how in the last chapter I said that I'd be giving Brock's brothers, wait- am I in the right story? No, no I'm not. It's probably in one of the chapters of "Why Should I?" anyway. Er, right. What I'm saying is that I was going to give Brock's brothers some of his (Brock's) outfits from the games and anime. Brock's attire is based somewhat off of his latest attire for HeartGold and SoulSilver, but more or less, his art from the Stadium series; Stadium 2, I think. Salvadore's attire (told to you by Dwight) is based off of Brock's attire from Pokémon Adventures. For all of Brock's other brothers, my computer started to act up and I made up their outfits as I went along. I actually put a decent bit of time into his sisters' outfits, too. If any of you are reading my other crossovers, you'll notice that my latest pre-chapter author notes have focused on the villainous team name. Originally, I was going to have the villainous team be "Team Distruzione" (which is Italian for destruction), but then I really had trouble designing a mental logo and on top of that, it's hard to pronounce.

So, I came up with Team Magnitude. Magnitude, as in the move and also, because it relates to earthquakes. The artwork for the Team Magnitude logo is on my dA account, the link to which is on my profile. Since FFN is being kind of annoying, I figured out that I probably needed to add spaces to any link (that wasn't FFN) on my profile. I've done that and if I need to, I will do it in the future. So yeah. Scroll through (read if you want) my profile and when you find the dA link, copy and paste it into your browser. Remove the spaces and go from there.

…Phew. Okay, this is probably the longest pre-chapter A/N. I'm out.

Maylene: QUEENSPELLER67 only owns OCs and the storyline.

Ash: To understand where these two OCs are coming from, please read the one-shot "Skeletal Dread?" by QUEENSPELLER67 herself. Without further ado, here's chapter 4!

Chapter 4: Brad's Reunion, part one

(Cole's P.O.V.)

I look up and see a girl with green hair; not Drew's green either. I see two kids that Brad is apparently acquainted with. I see a brunet with crimson eyes that's actually kind of scary-looking. I then see a darker-haired girl and, no. It can't be.

"Well, well. If it isn't Bradley. Gonna introduce us, genius?" the girl asks, folding her arms.

"R-right. May, Drew, Zoey, Paul, Gary, Dawn, Cora, Ritchie, Misty, Ash… this is Jarrett and his sister, Rochelle," Brad says, face turning a slight red.

"Plus, I didn't give myself a proper introduction," the girl dressed like Jack says. "I'm Wendy and we found Rochelle and Sakura at the ranger school."

Sakura.

"What's up?" Jarrett nonchalantly asks before he sets his gaze on me. Awkward.

(Sakura's P.O.V.)

I look at Cole and damn, he looks different.

"S-Sakura?" the one redhead says. "Wait, the Sakura we know has pink-purple hair."*

"That's because Sakura is from our world," Rokkia states as if it's the most obvious thing.

"What's the matter, Colton? Don't recognize me?" I tease. If there's anything he hates more than part of his surname is being called 'Colton' by anyone except family.

"Y-you changed," he says, looking me up and down. "How, how do you look like everyone else except me and Brad?" he finally asks.

I part some of my midnight blue hair out of my eyes. "It's some kind of portal effect. Plus, there's this thing called 'puberty' and it seems I'm not the only one who's changed," I say, going up to him.

"So, are you two dating yet or not?" grasshead says. I admit, I wasn't fully paying attention to the introductions.

"No. Wait, are we?" Cole replies. I pull him closer to my body and a strange light engulfs him.

"Wait, I thought that the change was supposed to happen in later chapters," plumhead says.

YEAH, ABOUT THAT. SORRY I COULDN'T FOREWARN YOU, PAUL.

Grasshead flicks his fringe making May roll her eyes. "Drew, you're so, so," she begins.

"Amazing? Charming? Handsome?" he asks.

May scoffs. "Try annoying, rude and cute," she says, covering her mouth on the last part. Drew blushes.

"Aw, looks like we've got our Christmas coordinators~!" Dawn sings.

Cole looks at me again before I pull him in. "Does that answer your question, Romeo?" I say, flirting a little.

"Great. A female version of Gary. Actually, I take that back because so far, you're not like Gary," Misty says. (1)

"Thanks, I guess," I say, letting Cole continue his stare.

"What just happened?" Jarrett says. His eyes must've left Cole's body for a few seconds. (2)

Brad snickers. "My brother just had his first kiss and is still trying to process," he begins.

"You kissed me. I'm not saying I didn't like it, but why has Jarrett been giving me the evil eye ever since I got here?"

YOU REALIZE THAT JARRETT IS A FEW FEET AWAY, RIGHT?

"Do you have to shout?" May says.

"Anyway, it's because I believe that the score hasn't been settled between Cole and my father," Jarrett says.

"I've met your dad, how?" Cole retorts.

Jarrett rolls his eyes. "Does the name 'Kruncha' ring a bell to you?" he snaps.

"Kruncha?" Cole says, blinking. "Wait a minute, you're," he begins before fainting.

…Yep. I'm leaving you a cliffhanger. Oh and Cole fainted because it's hot outside where they are. Yeah, I wasn't expecting things to turn out this way but they did. The changes weren't supposed to happen until chapter 6. As you can see, this is only part one. Rundown time!

(*) Remember Sakura from "Trouble's Brewing" and "Espeon, Not Included" of the Pokémon anime? I can't tell if her hair is more pink-purple or purple-pink. Plus, I just said that Cole's Sakura has midnight blue hair.

1. Sakura is essentially like Gary in her flirtatiousness. Also, she knew Misty's name because although she wasn't paying full attention, she was paying partial attention.

2. Jarrett stopped looking at Cole because the light was too bright.

So, that's pretty much that. If Gary's not making out with Dawn, I'll let him close.

Gary: Hey! *Grumbles something intangible* I resent that. Not making out with Dawn.

Dawn: Wait, what?

Gary: Queen's statement. *Quickly kisses Dawn to quiet her* Anyway, as always, R and R, F and F, vote and ask. In the words of my father, smell ya later!
