Silence filled the air when the wind blew lightly, the trees swaying with it as all wildlife stood as silent spectators towards the upcoming battle. The tension between the two teens was so thick that not even a Scyther or a Bisharp would not be enough to cut it. On one side was Red, who was trembling in guilt and terror as he looked towards his opponent, who was giving him a glare so menacing that if she had powers, he would be obliterated at this point. After a few moments, the teens resumed their silent stare down before Yellow gritted her teeth as she announced. "Chuchu! Let's go!"

Her Pikachu then leaped towards the field as its cheek started to glow with electricity causing Red to feel more uncomfortable as he eyed the Electric-type before he heard the blonde stated. "This will be a 3 on 3 battle, substitutions can be made. The battle is over once all three Pokemon from one's side is defeated and unable to continue."

Hearing this, Red slowly nodded which Yellow failed to notice as she got angrier before she yelled at him. "YOU GOT THAT?!"

"Y-yes." The scarlet eyed teen whimpered as he tried his best to stop himself from shaking, using the previous experiences with Team Rocket and his gym battle with Brock as encouragement which came to naught as he continued to tremble and his thoughts became incoherent. He then slowly descends to his knees, feeling nausea as he could only look at the ground, anticipating the vomit that might happen. After he closed his eyes, Red felt something nuzzling him when he open his eyes to see Shinx licking away his tears and Clefairy patting him on the head which caused him to hug both of them as he silently uttered. "…thanks you guys… I'm so sorry that you have to be with a trainer like me…"

'It's all right. We're here for you. You helped us. We'll help you.'

'Remember that you have us with you all the way, boss.'

Confused, Red started to look around before he looked at his Pokemon, a smile on his face when he started to stand up again. Feeling determined, he wipe away his tears before he looked forward towards his opponent although he was still slightly shivering. 'C'mon. Red. You can do this. Just breathe in and out.'

As the red jacketed trainer finished his breathing routine, he then hardened his expression before he called out Clefairy who immediately went on the field, slamming its fist into its palm before it started shadow boxing, earning a small laugh from its trainer. Witnessing this caused a scowl to appear on Yellow's face as she yelled an order. "Chuchu! Use Quick Attack."

Chuchu cried before it disappeared, tackling Clefairy which made it slide back a few distance before Red quickly made a command. "Clefairy, Mega Punch!"

The Fairy type clenched its fist as it sends a full force punch only for the Electric type to quickly maneuver dodge the move, thanks to Yellow's clever directions. "Nice job, Chuchu!"

As it retreated to its side of its field, Red immediately took action as he stated for Clefairy to use Copycat allowing it to move so fast that Chuchu was barely able to react as everything went in slow motion in the pink creature's eyes when it knocked the rodent back, much to Yellow's surprise. Before both the blonde and her rodent could prepare a counter, the raven haired teenager quickly stated a command and not losing his momentum. "Copycat again and then Mega Punch."

Clefairy immediately disappeared again before it then punched the rodent in the face hard which threw the rodent back, barely able to stop itself from the force of the punch as it drove its feet into the ground. After it shook itself and made a cry of determination, the blonde trainer made a command that immediately made Red's eyes widened as he quickly planned a rebuttal. "Chuchu, now Thunder Wave."

As she made the order, the yellow rodent's cheeks started to glow as it let out a blast of electricity that immediately hit Clefairy, quickly disappearing as it descended on its knees, lightning coming from its body which made it twitch slightly. Red then glares at his blonde opponent before he witnesses Clefairy glowing as it stand up, seemingly unfazed causing both teens to be confused.

"What the?" Yellow muttered before she barely heard the silent command that the crimson eyed teen gave the Fairy type as it ran towards her Pikachu as it started to charge its kick. She then commands the rodent to dodge the move, it able to nimbly dodge it mostly due to Clefairy's paralysis condition before she continues. "Now Electro Ball."

"Copycat." When the Electric type creates a ball of electricity with its tail before shooting the ball at the pink fairy, its hands start brimming with lightning as it claps them together and parts them, creating its own sphere and launches it causing both attacks to clash with each other. As the collision continued, Yellow made a command to her Pikachu that her red jacketed trainer could barely notice as he muttered for Clefairy to use Copycat, which did not amount to nothing as it started plotting with a menacing look on its face before stopping, looking around with a confused expression. As the attacks dispersed, the blonde commanded her Pokemon to use Thundershock which upon using the move, looked more like a Thunder Bolt as it hit the pink fairy, much to Red's surprise. 'What the- Didn't she say Thunder shock? Is it learning a new move?'

Both teens watched as Clefairy rose from the ground, a look of determination etched on its face as it eyed its opponent, much to its trainer's relief. The raven haired trainer had an idea as he utters an order to his Pokemon. "Stored Power."

Upon hearing the move, Yellow raises a brow before she then sees the pink fairy glowing intensely, not doing anything as it made eye contact with its trainer. Alert and ready to counter, the blonde waited for the attack which did not do anything, much to her confusion. After almost a minute has passed, she lost her patience, making her Pikachu attack use Quick Attack. As Chuchu appeared in front of Clefairy, the pink Pokemon let out a wave of light energy, knocking away its opponent. "No, Chuchu!"

"Alright! Thundershock!" As it gained its balance, it obeyed Yellow's command only to be stopped as its opponent once again use Store Power to cancel out its attack.

"Mega Kick now." Red commanded as Clefairy jumped in the air and descends to Pikachu with it foot glowing before the blonde made a command which made the trainer click his tongue in irritation. "Electro Ball!"

Before the pink fairy could react, it was immediately hit by a ball of lightning, causing it to fall unto the ground, barely able to move.

"Good. Now Quick Attack, Chuchu." The yellow rodent speedily lunges forward before appearing in front of Clefairy. As it was about to tackle it, it was caught off guard the Pokemon vanished, appearing above it before it landed a Mega Kick at the blonde's Pikachu, creating a cloud of dust. As both wait for the dust cloud to disperse, both made one final command to their Pokemon.

"Thunder Shock/Stored Power!"

Both combatants obeyed as they charge their respective moves, releasing them which resulted in a clash. The field was then covered by electricity as the attacks from both Pokemon created a huge shockwave as everyone shielded their eyes. As they both able to open their eyes, they witness their partners standing up in determination before they fall to the ground, resulting in a tie. Seeing the conclusion of the first match, both trainers run to pick up their Pokemon from the field, encouraging them of a job well done before they returned them.

As both trainers return to their respective sides of the battlefield, Shinx lunges forward, its body starts to let off some electricity to show its determination. Seeing the Electric type on the field, Yellow smirked as she took out a Pokeball from her bag and then threw it into the air.

"Go Ivysaur!" She called out when the light from the spherical capsule revealed a Pokemon that looks like a bigger version of Bulbusaur as it made its battle cry before it gazed at Shinx. Seeing the Grass type, Red took out his Pokedex as he made it scanned it which after a couple of seconds, the device started to voice its description.

'Ivysaur, the Seed Pokemon. The bulb on its back grows as it absorbs nutrients. The bulb gives off a pleasant aroma when it blooms.'

As the device finished its explanation, the scarlet eyed teen approached and then kneeled down beside Shinx before he petted it, saying. "Hey Shinx. I understand that you want to battle but not this one. Let's leave this to Beedrill."

Despite being disappointed, the Electric type nodded as it went to back beside the red capped trainer before he released Beedrill who immediately turned around and hugged him which encourage a laugh from him. Being able to calm down the Bug type and getting it ready for battle, Red notices that Yellow was about to return Ivysaur before he mutters one word. "Pursuit."

Before she could react, the yellow bee vanished before appearing in front of the Grass type in the blink of a second. Both Pokemon and trainer witness Beedrill glowing with dark energy before it slams its stingers into Ivysaur, knocking it out of the field and into a tree. The blonde quickly returns the Pokemon, not wanting her starter to be hit by another unsuspecting attack.

'Darn it! I know Red is good at understanding Pokemon behavior and their Pokedex description and using it to his advantage but he was never this good at utilizing Pokemon moves before. What happened? He changed this much in just a few weeks.' The blonde thought before she threw out a Great Ball which revealed a flaming horse. The Pokemon made a battle cry as it gazed at its opponent, causing Shinx to leap out onto the field as it talked with Beedrill, the Bug type nodded before it flew to its trainer's side as the Electric type eyed its foe as it made its battle stance. Red once again took out his Pokedex as the device scanned the Fire type before it made its explanation.

'Ponyta, the Fire Horse. Training by jumping over grass that grows longer every day has made it a world-class jumper.'

As the explanation was finished, the red capped trainer put the device in his pocket as he looked at the Pokemon, thinking of a way to defeat it. 'Those hooves are gonna be a problem. I better play my cards well and try to avoid them as possible.'

As the winds went by which caused some form of silence and tranquility to the battle between the teens, moments passed before Red uttered the first move. "Shinx, let's start with Tackle."

"Stomp, Ponyta." Yellow quickly commanded. As Shinx got close to the Fire type, it started to lift it legs before slamming down its feet as the Electric type who is trying its best to avoid the attacks.

"Bite now." As Ponyta let down another Stomp at the Pokemon, the blue and black cub then leaps towards the foot as it bit on the leg, causing the Fire type to recoil in pain as it started to run around to shake off it before it heard its trainer's command. "Use Flame Charge."

The Fire type then surrounded itself in flames, making Shinx have to let go before it got tackled by the horse who immediately got faster as the fire dispersed from it. Not losing momentum, the blonde made another command, much to her opponents' frustration. "Good. Now use Ember."

"Charge." Red quietly commanded as Shinx started to absorb electricity while Ponyta shot a flurry of fireballs which the Electric type nimbly dodge before it was commanded to use Spark as it used to now empowered move, hitting its fiery opponent. As the Fire type recovered from the attack, Yellow sighed in relief at its recovery before she made a command. "Double Kick."

Before Shinx could react, its opponent turned around before it launched its hind legs, kicking the Electric type onto the ground. Despite taking the full direct force of the move, it quickly recovered, dodging a Stomp from its adversary as Red ordered it to run around and Tackle the Fire type from the side to which it did, much to the blonde's horror. "C'mon, Ponyta! We have 'em where we want 'em. Ember!"

The raven haired teenager clicks his teeth when Shinx gets scorched from to the attack. The Pokemon was sent flying to its side of the field, barely able to get up, its body more exhausted than it is supposed to be as smoke emitted from its body. Before a command was stated, the Electric type started to light ablaze before it disappeared, causing the Pokemon to drop on the floor before it slowly ascends on its feet again. As it did so, Shinx roared before a crimson aura surrounded it along with its fur started to spike up and it started growling ferociously and glaring menacingly at its opponent, much to the teenagers' confusion.

"What's going on? It looks like it's about to rip Ponyta apart… Is that its Guts ability?" Yellow uttered, a bit scared by the development of the battle which did not go unnoticed when her opponent heard her, his mind reminiscing on her words. 'Guts ability, huh?'

'I gotta finish this quick either way before Red notices what's going on.' The blonde thought as she commanded for her Ponyta to use Stomp which it obeyed, sprinting towards the Electric type it raised its legs. Before it could do anything, Shinx leaped forward and let down its fangs on the Fire type who recoiled in pain and shook it off before retreating to its side of the field, much to Yellow's dismay.

"Dang it. Ponyta, Use Flame Charge." She commanded. Seeing no movement from her Pokemon, the blonde was confused until she saw the look of dread on its face as it trembled uncontrollably. Before she could say anything, Red took his chance and uttered a command. "Spark."

Shinx roared before it started to run, electricity coursing through its body as it quickly got enveloped by lightning. As the Electric type continued to run, Red then realized that the move was getting stronger, becoming bigger in mass the closer it got to Ponyta. About to pull out her Pokeball and return her partner, Yellow was too late as she witnessed her Pokemon getting hit by the move, knocking it back in front of her as it laid unconscious which signaled Shinx's victory.

Yellow could only frown as she returned her Ponyta, stating that it did a great job despite the loss before she went and called out her starter, Ivysaur. Red went on the field towards Shinx as he applied some medicine to its burn before he took up the Electric type and cradled it back to his side of the field as he put it in his bag and look beside him at Beedrill who nodded then went to the field, ready for battle.

"Beedrill, Poison Sting." The red capped teen started the third match, his Pokemon nodded as it flew towards Ivysaur. As the Bug type got close, Yellow made a smirk as she stated an order. "Seed Bomb now!"

"Use your stingers to knock away the incoming seeds." Red quickly alerted. Beedrill went on its guard as it started to swat and jab the incoming seeds, not able to get them all as some hit the yellow bee, much to the blonde's agitation as she thought. 'Man, there's one thing I gotta say: he's definitely gotten better than last time. Way better.'

"Poison Sting now." As the barrage of seeds stopped, the Bug type lunges forward as it was able to secure a hit on the Grass type, knocking it back. Yellow commanded her starter to do another Seed Bomb which resulted in the same scenario as the Bug and Poison type deflected the seeds once again, not realizing that the blonde had a plan as she uttered one word. "Growth."

The Pokemon started too glow in a bright green light as its opponent continues to dodge and block the projectile before the yellow bee was finished, flying quickly towards the Grass type before it jabbed it, knocking it back from its initial position. After it finished glowing, Yellow commanded it to use another Seed Bomb, causing Beedrill to dodge and block them again, this time finding more difficulty in doing so more than last time. Despite the move being stronger, the Bug type was still able to outmaneuver every seed as Red commanded it to go forward and hit it with a Twineedle, which seemed to have been a critical hit as it knocked it further back than the first time, much to Yellow's dismay.

"C'mon, Ivysaur. Get up and use Tackle." The blonde ordered, her starter getting up from the ground and shake its head, charging forward at Beedrill who braces itself for the attack as it got a command from its scarlet eyed trainer. "Wait and then Poison Sting when it's close."

As the Grass type got closer, the Bug type thrust its pincer forward, resulting in a clash that was quickly over as Ivysaur overpowered it before colliding into it and knocking it to the ground. As it was struggling to ascend from the ground, Yellow took this chance as she made a command to Ivysaur which made Red worried. "Leech Seed now while it's down."

"Dodge then Pursuit." The raven haired teen thought quickly before his Pokemon took to the air, dodging the Leech Seed and was able to successfully land a strike onto the Ivysaur's side, making it fall to the ground before it was given another command by its silent trainer. "String Shot now."

"Get up, Ivysaur and dodge." As the order was given, Yellow could only watch as Beedrill spew stings of silk as it trapped and entangled its foe into the strings before the Grass and Poison type was unable to move. The blonde made an effort and commanded attacks to her starter out of desperation however it was for not naught as it was immobile and Red's Pokemon ruthlessly and relentlessly attack Ivysaur until it collapsed within the wraps of the String Shot, much to her dismay.

"N-n…no. I can't believe this. I-I lost…" Yellow muttered as she fell to the ground on her knees with a hopeless look on her face as she looked at her starter. Red commanded Beedrill to free the Grass type before he returned his Pokemon and made his way to the starter. 'I know they don't care about me anymore but that does not mean I don't care about them.'

Unable to process anything in her mind, the blonde was unable to realize that the raven haired trainer had applied medication and healed her Ivysaur before he went over to her and held our his hand to help her up. After a few moments, Yellow was knocked out of her stupor as she saw her starter beside her, hugging her as tears started to swell up in its eyes. 'I thought I could help…do something for myself but I can't believe I lost. I'm so sorry, Blue. I thought I could stand up for myself…'

She starts to sob as she wraps her hands around the Pokemon, her mouth stating her thoughts as she rests her head against Ivysaur. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry, Ivy…so…sorry…"

Witnessing this, Red felt bad when he remembered something, his thought making a statement. 'I forgot how much Yellow was always underestimated. Taken lightly in school due to her sweet and kind personality. All she wants is recognition and she will do reckless things for it. Most people don't realize but that is why she is always taken care of by Blue. He wants the best for her although he won't show it or admit it.'

'Can I even help?' As he was about to crouch and comfort the sobbing, the red capped teen was attacked by a blast of fire that knocked him several feet from his initial position, surprising both of the teens. Red was struggling while he tries to ascend off the ground, watching in shock as he sees Blue with a look of anger on his face as his starter, now a Charmeleon, has smoke emitting from its mouth. As the raven haired trainer was about to rise, the spiky haired Oak snapped his fingers as his starter started to breath a blast of flame from its mouth which collided, causing several burns to the teen before knocking him onto the fence, his head colliding with the metal pole which made him dizzy as he tries to find his footing.

"What did you do, Red?!" Blue asked, each word coming from his mouth coated with venom and hatred as he grabbed the collar of Red's jacket and pulled him as he looked at his face before he continued. "Better question: how did you escape jail?"

The raven haired teen could barely register what the young Oak was saying before he was punched several times and then thrown to the ground, knocking the wind out of him upon impact. He was about to get up and go for one of his Pokeballs on his belt before he was slashed by Blue's Charmeleon and then got hit in the chest by a blast of black and blue fire which send him through the fence and into the water. Seeing Red in the water, Blue was going to continue to attack before he heard Yellow's sobbing getting louder, immediately forgetting his rage when he rushed to her and trying to comfort her. Realizing that people are starting to pass by, he picked her up and then went towards the direction of Cerulean City as he clicked his teeth, looking at the place he left before he mouthed the words. "You're lucky, today. Red. Very lucky."

After a few moments, Red was thrown onto the shore, coughing and wheezing as he looked at his Feebas, thanking it before he returned the Pokemon. When he was able to breathe coherently, he struggled to his feet as he limped his way to Cerulean City Pokemon Center, dropping a few times on his path to the red building. After almost an hour of walking, the red capped trainer let out a breath of relief as he is able to see the glass doors of the center, trying his best to increase the speed of his limp until he was able to put his head by the wall of the building near the glass doors. As he tries his best to move again, he heard a voice called out of him.

"Red!"

Red let out a sigh as he braced himself for another beat down when he was tackled to the wall, expecting a flurry of punches but he instead felt shuffling and cuddling. As the teen opened his eyes, he looked in surprised as he saw Leaf hugging him, nuzzling her head under his neck before she spoke. "I'm so glad that you're still alive! After everything that happened on Mt. Moon and what was said on the news from the witnesses, I though-"

She could not finish her statement as she saw the disheveled and bruised state that the teen was in, causing her to gasp as she quickly dragged him into the Pokemon center for healing.

"Red! What happened to you?" She asked, worried. The brunette did not bother hearing an answer as she asked Nurse Joy to help him. Leaf ordered a room for the both of them as she waited for the teen, taking his bag and Pokemon as she had done so. After a few hours of the teen getting patched up, the brunette heard knocking on the door, opening it to Red whose body is almost covered in bandages.

"Hehe… You look like a mummy." Leaf said as she tries her best to hold back her laughter. The boy simply sighed as he went and sat down on the bed before he was given a plate with a slice of pizza, looking at Leaf as she happily ate a slice. "It's good. Try it."

The two trainers started to eat and catch up with each other as they spent all night conversing with each other along with playing with their Pokemon, Leaf glad to meet an old acquaintance and Red just happy to be alive as the moon glows brightly in the night sky.

Another one…finished. She returns once again, people. Leaf is back again. This chapter was like a family reunion as almost every character was shown. Now this chapter was supposed to have Blue and Red duke it out however I think that is better for another time as this chapter is literally named 'Yellow vs Red'. Hope that you guys are enjoying the story and thanks for reading. I'll see you guys later and please stay safe out there. Enigma out!
