Chapter 3 – unconscious by fate.
Life changes, sometime for the better, sometime worse.
So… true…
For example, before the moment Ruby stepped inside the Pokemon Battling Technique Class, he was still an ordinary high school kid. However, after approximately 30 minutes, he was bombarded by streams of endless questions from a long lost friend. Whom he had missed for two years, yet already pissed at after 3 minutes he recently meet her.
"Where were you all these years? Why did you save me…I tried to look for you, but I couldn't find you…"
"Okay… Look," Ruby snapped, ignoring the fact that the Geography of Hoenn teacher has already give them a warning for detention if they don't shut up, "I will only say this one more time: I have no obligations to share what I was doing for the past 2 years to you. What I did was my own **** business. Why I saved a weak trainer like you is also my own **** business. So stop asking."
Despite the hatred can be seen from Sapphire's eyes, she still managed not to kill the silver haired boy and said:
"You are weird…"
"WHAT!! You are calling me weird? You tried to catch a fully-grown Tyranitar with a Pokeball, left without a trace when I saved you from it. You hugged me in front of, like… a hundred people this morning when you were suppose to finish me off, now you are calling me WEIRD? Who do you think you are? My Dad? Do you know what you did to my pride and dignity?" Ruby shouted, not knowing that the whole class was starring at him.
"RUBY! SAPPHIRE! DETENTION AFTERSCHOOL!!! WE WILL DISCUSS YOU AND YOUR PRIDE AND DIGNITY AFTERSCHOOL PRIVATELY." The teacher yelled, finally losing his patience.
Life definitely changes for worse…
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch…
Time for some time with friends… Ruby thought as he sits down with Gold and Red. It appears Red is still crazy for battling…
(Flashback)
"RUBY!!! I never knew you were here… COME ON! Let battle!! I'll wipe your *** like I did last time…" The former Kanto Champion yelled.
"Red… Let's be smart… A battle in middle of… A Potion-making class? Besides… You almost killed my Seadra last time with your stupid Pikachu…"
"Pika…" The yellow electric mouse on Red's shoulder murmured, as sparks can be seeing around its cheek. "CHUUUUUUUUUU!"
BOOOM!!!
After undergoing different treatment for shock, Ruby learned that never mess with Red's Pikachu…
(Flashback ends)
"Wow, detention of the first day of school. And I thought I was desperate for attention…" Gold smirked.
"I am going crazy… I really am…" Ruby confessed, "I am going mad after what happened this morning…"
"And…?" Red mumbled, "So is Gold…"
"Urgghhh..." Ruby sighed, "Do I look like I'm going crazy?"
"No…But you seems like you enjoy talking about Sapphire and the fact that she hugged you in first period every five seconds," Gold nodded, "what's up with that?" He asked, a grin curling up on his lips.
"…what?" Ruby mumbled, blankly. Gold smirked, devilishly, but Ruby found nothing devilish about it. He knew Gold is always thinking about strange thoughts about him and every other girl in the school. Gold also almost always thought about himself and Crystal in bed, a lot. "Gold… You really have a wrong mind… It's like God purposely screwed up yours because he knew that you weren't able to use it anyways…"
"Ah please, nothing is too wrong, for something that is never right." Gold grinned. Ruby never replied, because he didn't quite get it. "Gah… Why don't you go battle Green…?"
Gold said nothing, and left to battle Green, leaving Red and Ruby together.
"So… How's things between you and Yellow?" Ruby smirked. "Gah… not much." Red blushed. "Oh come on, me and you both know that you had crush on her since the beginning. Remember back in Kanto, you said you weren't going to travel anymore, then I told you Yellow was going. The next day you woke up like… 3 in the morning, and wake me up to go…"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Their conversation was interrupted by a shriek of pain from Gold. They looked over to see Gold drop, as he clutched his knee and curled up like a fetus.
"MY knee! Man… This is gonna hurt in the morning!"
Apparently Gold was distracted by a girl walking by and got hit by Green's Charzard.
"God… Suck it in, you are fine…" Green sighed.
"Gold… Are you sure you are not faking?" Ruby chuckled, "You always use this whenever you don't want to battle Red."
"SAYS WHO?" Gold suddenly snapped, showing no hint that he was critically injured a second ago. Ruby wasn't buying it. "OH! I can feel the blood now…"
"Now that you mentioned it, I'm going to give Green a break. How about you try me? It will give you more of a time to think of another lame way to fake an injury." Ruby smirked as Gold get up slowly, trying to make it look like he was really hurt, and then nodded.
"Ready?"
"The question is, are YOU ready for my Typhlosion's mega, supreme Flamewheel?" Gold shouted, very cheesily.
"Urghh… Sounds like the TUG. The Ultimate Gay…" Ruby replied, as he opened a Pokeball that contained the Tyranitar that almost killed him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berry blending lesson for Sapphire was over, and now she has nothing to do. She walked down the stairs and looked at outside. It seems everyone went out during lunch, and she could not find her friends Yellow or Crystal. They probably went somewhere, dreaming about Red and Gold or something… She spotted Ruby, undergoing an intense battle with Gold, using a Tyranitar…
The same one…
Suddenly, a wave of guilt rushed into her heart, as all the memories reappeared in her head. Maybe I should go apologize… She thought, besides, he wouldn't mind a quick talk right? He is smart, funny and … nice… maybe not… Sapphire told herself absently as she yelled :" RUBY!"
****. Ruby thought as he turned his head slowly… Not more *****ing from her… He thought as he turned back facing Gold. However, all he saw was Explotaro's (Gold's Typhlosion) fur, and… BAM…he was unconscious.
"Crap!" Red exclaimed.
"I have so bad timing." Sapphire screeched, as she ran up to Ruby.
"Is he dead? NO! What am I suppose to do without a best friend! Guess I never should made Explotaro use body slam…."
"He cannot die from body slam, Gold," Green reassured, "Well… Unless he is in a coma, he might never wake up, and die in a coma."
"You are great help, Green… Thanks." Red replied.
"No problem."
"God, you guys are pathetic," Sapphire sighed, bending down to feel his pulse, "Oh my God! He is dead!"
"And you care?" Gold asked.
"Shut up, Gold. I feel so bad now…"
"There is no need feeling bad Sapphire," Red assured, "he is not dead, let's just take him to the nurse."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"AHHH!!!" Ruby gasped, sitting up instantly from his sleep. He looked around in a bizarre panic, then finally settled down.
"Lie down," Sapphire said, "the nurse said you shouldn't get up. I think you need to rest a bit longer."
"You do need to rest here a bit longer," the nurse nodded, eyeing both Sapphire and Ruby,
"and it is against the rule to have you both stay at the same room… with a bed…"
"God… I'm not gonna sleep with her, okay?" Ruby snapped.
"Very well, by the way, your parents will be coming soon." Nurse said.
"My parents? Who the hell called them."
"Well… it's mandatory for us to notice the parents if their children is okay." Nurse replied, and then left the room.
"How long I've being here, what happened to the detention? Where is Green, Red, and… Gold?"
"You've being here for 2 hours, the detention got cancelled, Red and them went home." Sapphire replied, as Ruby's eyes grew wide, his best friends went him when he was brutally injured by Gold's fat Typhlosion?
"Don't get the wrong idea, they were here the whole day, they left because they were told to." Sapphire reassured.
There was a long, uncomfortable silence afterward. Ruby turned to Sapphire, who is sitting on the chair beside the bed, humming to herself. Why didn't she leave…Probably needs someone to talk to…? It was either that, or something even less interesting.
Suddenly, Sapphire starts to cry. Talk about mood swing… Ruby thought, as he asked, "what the hell is wrong now?"
"It's just tha, that, I kept ruining your life. First the scar… Now this… It's no wonder that you hate me."
"I don't hate you…"
"You must hate me, after all I have done."
"For the last time, I don't hate you…" Ruby mumbled… "It's ju…"
Their conversation was interrupted by the nurse, who said,
"Your mom couldn't come; she has to travel to Petersburg with your dad. She said you will be alone for 3 days. And she hopes that you are okay, and promised to come back as soon as she can."
"Whatever…" Ruby groaned, and he begins to get out of bed, and walk out the room. Sapphire followed him out.
"What do you want now?" he asked, "wait, you don't think I can drop you off with my Latios, right? We will get struck by lighting."
"Calm down, I just want to walk with you, besides, we can talk about why you hate me."
This is definitely going to be a long walk.
