    Being a new high school student is a dreaded experience. But for ruby, high school will mean precious memories as he overcomes defeat and sorrow, and finds joy and love in Littleroot High (franticshipping, specialshipping, mangaquestshipping).

    Prologue - awaken memories (part 1)
    The clock supposes to, and did, ring at 8:00 a.m. The crimson eyed boy slammed the clock with his fist; however, an impact that strong did not stop the clock from fulfilling its purpose. Cursing, he took the sphere-shaped object beside his bed and pressed the button on the ball. Suddenly, a red beam emerged from the ball as it illumines the dark room, and that beam turn into a huge creature with two piercing eyes and a pair of ridiculous looking wings that somehow helped the blue dragon levitates from the ground.

    "**** it… Latios, luster purge…"

    Suddenly, the whole room was ignited by a wave of energy that seems materialized from the blue dragon's eyes. After a few seconds, the room turned back into its normal state, except a bunch of plastic and wire lying in the space that was previously occupied by a fully functioning clock, as faint beeping sounds coming from its core…

    "Why the hell would mom and dad move to this stupid town…"

    Johto, being the boy's home region, seems far more diverse and open than Littleroot town of Hoenn region. Much to his displeasure, his dad has being offered a job as the gym leader of Petersburg City and his whole family has to move from his "beloved" home region, to this devil's land.

    He hated the smell that the wind carries here, he hated the fact that he is not able to see or hear the sea; he even hated the colour of his bedroom. The wall was painted with red and black paint, even his bed is red and black. Perhaps the designer's original scheme is to make the room looks cozy and welcoming, but in reality, it looked like a dark room covered with blood.

    "****, it's my second day here and I have to go to school... What the hell are my parents thinking…" the silver haired boy moaned. He returned the gigantic dragon to the sphere in his palm, and went to his bathroom. The mirror shows a thin boy. His usually piercing crimson eyes looked dim and do not burn passionately as did a year before, probably caused by the two huge scars on his forehead. "Speaking of bad choices…"

    Prologue - awaken memories (part 2)

    (flashback)
    It is still the silver haired boy, but with not scar on his forehead. He is not the sarcastic Ruby that was known two years after. His voice did not hold the sharp edge it does right now. There was no headband to cover his forehead. The Johto sun sends its ray onto the boy's hair humbly, making it looks like sparkling snow in a middle of summer.
    He was sitting under an oak tree, staring into the blue sky as the wind blew his hair. The wind today, indeed, seems different… As if it was bursting to tell something. Something that is gravely important.

    Suddenly, he saw a girl; a girl with such features that makes it hard for him to forget her. Her brown hair was neatly done so that they become two ponytails, covering both of her ears. She had blue eyes, so blue that it resembles the sky. So blue, that it seemed like the endless ocean. So blue, that it makes the crimson eyed boy blush.

    "You must be Mr. Norman's son." The girl asked.

    Ruby was too mesmerized by the girl's eye that he failed to answer the question, except to nod in response.

    "Your dad said I should battle you. But I think my pokemons are way too weak. Anyways, what's your name?"

    "Perhaps you should try telling me yours first? It's rude to ask someone's name without telling his (her) first." Ruby did not care whether how the girl felt, he was definitely not the friendly type.

    "Sorry," the girl said sheepishly, "my name is Sapphire."

    "Ruby…" Umm, guess she's not like the other annoying girls here. At least she didn't get mad from my comment. He thought.

    After that, there was a long silence, a long and uncomfortable silence.

    "So… you want to battle me?"

    The girl hesitated, and then agreed upon his request.

    "Alright, I choose my Combusken."

    This is gonna be an easy one. Ruby thought "Go… Kingdra." he commanded, lazily.

    "Combusken! Use ember against that kingdra." Sapphire ordered. Fool… My pokemon is water typed and it is way stronger. What makes she think that she can beat me with one weak fire attack. However, the red flame did not flow toward the huge dragon. It went for the tree behind. After a split second, Ruby knew what she was planning. Ummm, burning the trees down by using ember so it would fall on top of kingdra, while I'm dodging the wood, she would use flamethrower or fireblast which takes a long time to prepare. Could have fooled me for a moment, but it takes way more than that too beat me. "All right kingdra, use dragondance." The seahorse like creature starts to move in a mystical pattern, increasing it's agility and power. If I use dragondance, it will boost Kingdra's speed by a lot. It takes 2 second to do dragondance, and it takes 3 second for the tree to burn down, 2 second for it to fall on top of Kingdra. So it gives me 3 seconds to use an attack that will knock it out. Just as he planned, the tree start to fall on the blue dragon. "Ignore that, and use hydro pump on Combusken." Ruby orderd.

    Suddenly, a great stream of water came out from its mouth. The pressure of the water seems so high that it destroyed a bunch of trees in its way. And the devastating effect was shown by the knocked-out Combusken on the ground. Just when the tree was about to hit Kingdra, it dodges it with incredible speed that it only appeared as a blur to human eyes.

    "Guess I win." Ruby said to the shocked girl. "Don't be disappointed. That idea of yours almost fooled me. A trainer is suppose to use the environment to his or her advantage so the victory is assured."

    The girl said nothing, except nods in agreement.

    "So… what do you want to do n…BOOM!" Their conversation was interrupted by a huge explosion caused by a colossal pokemon that had small head, long neck and dorsal fins. A pokemon that is known as a Tyranitar.

    "Wow… What a fearsome looking pokemon," the girl exclaimed stupidly, "maybe I should catch it."

    "RUN! EVEN I CAN'T EVEN CATCH ONE, AND I'M THE JOHTO CHAMPION." Ruby shouted. It's true, Tyranitars are among the fiercest of pokemons and they are even harder to catch and raise. There had being plenty of report of Tyranitars attacking trainers.

    "No, I will prove it to you! I'll prove it to you that I'm not just a weak little girl everyone think I am. I will prove it that I'm stronger than I look!" Sapphire suddenly yelled, as she throw a pokeball at it. However, the Tyranitar destroyed it simply by hitting it with its hard armour. Then it seemed to be provoked and launch itself against Sapphire.

    No! Ruby thought, as he threw an ultraball from his pocket. "Latios, use psychic! Kingdra, use ice beam." Both dragons start to attack the armour pokemon. It appears that it's too weak to continue its rampage.

    "Phew… That was close. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TOO ME?!" Ruby shouted at the girl angrily.

    Suddenly, the Tyranitar sprung back to life as it launched itself to Sapphire.

    "Watch out!!" Ruby cried, as he pushed Sapphire away from the sharp claws of Tyranitar. However, the claw still hit him on the forehead, and it instantly started to bleed.

    Ruby suddenly feels dizzy because of loss of blood, however, he still manages to get a ball from his pocket out. Just the pokeball I need. He thought as he throws the masterball at the gigantic beast. Having lost too much blood, he fainted, and the last thing he saw, was the girl's teary face.

    Ruby woke up in his house, but only finds his anxious mother and angry father. Despite the yelling and complains from his parents. The only thing on his mind was what happened to the girl.

    Apparently, she carried him all the way to his house, and left without saying goodbye.

    That, was the last time he saw her.

    (Flashback ends)

    "RUBY, YOU WILL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

    Ruby moaned at his mom's yelling, and adjust the headband so that it covers his forhead.

    No one knew that the headband, was covered with tears.
     
    You made a lot of Mistakes; spelling Lustr Purge wrong. ( It is Luster!), not capitalizing Ruby's name. ( You put ruby.) You must Show, not Tell. You told us Ruby was having a flashback.
     
    thanks for pointing those mistakes out.
    my editor was sleeping so....
    anyways
    the rest of the fanfic will be better
    i promise
    btw can you post what you think about this fanfic?
     
    Chapter 1
    Standing in front of the magnificent building, Ruby was totally amused and scared at the fact that Littleroot town, a small village that cannot contain more than 100 residents, included this gigantic high school that seemed able to contain at least 1000 Steelix together, who are among the biggest of pokemons.

    "Great, there must be at least 5000 people go to his stupid school. Why the hell do I have to go here when I'm already the champion in Kanto and Joto…" his thoughts were interrupted by the deafening sound of the bell. Ruby quickly adjusted his headband to make sure his scars aren't showing, and then ran into the building.

    He was greeted by the vice-principle, who seems to be an annoying and moronic man.

    "Hi, you must be Ruby, the son of Leader Norman. I am the vice principle of this school, and you need to know that it is necessary to complete this school so you can be successful as a pokemon trainer or co-ordinator. First, let me give you a brief summary of this school's rich history…"

    (Five minutes later)


    "And that's how leader Drake helped us to build the cafeteria by using its Flygon…Now, allow me to give you a tour around this beautiful campus. But first, you must take that headband off. Bandannas, hats and headbands are strictly prohibited in this school."

    "Umm, sir…" Ruby hesitated at the vice principle's suggestion (command), "I am not sure that would be a good suggestion…"

    "I beg your pardon?" The V.P said, clearly displeased.

    "I said that I do not think taking my bandanna off would be a good thing to do." Urgh, why would I wear them when there is a huge sign in front that says no headbands in the campus area. Ruby moaned.

    "Well, young man, it is important for you to listen to your teacher, and apparently, I am a teacher. So…" The V.P yelled, finally losing his patience.

    "Yes sir, I will do whatever you say." Even if it's going to scare the hell out of you. Ruby said the last part to himself, as he begins to take of his headband. Ruby was impressed that the two eyeballs of the V.P are getting bigger and bigger as if they were stunned by a bunch of beedrills.

    "So, may I assume the rest of the tour isn't necessary anymore? Sir?" Ruby smirked, emphasizing the last part playfully.

    The V.P let out a high pitched scream that sounds even higher than those from Explouds, then ran for his life, dropping a piece of paper while doing so.

    "Ahh, let's see," Ruby picked up the piece of paper as he reads the information it contained, "my timetable… Perfect…"

    This day just keeps getting better and better…

    Chapter 2

    Pokemon battling technique class.

    Such an easy class to find, right?

    Wrong….

    "Urgh… History of Pokemon, no… Breeding, no… Potion making, no… Berry blending, no… Great, I'm lost… Again…" The silver haired boy moaned, large beads of sweat can be seen on his face. Much to his surprise, the high school is even bigger in the inside. Nearly all of the halls are painted red and black, Hoenn region's color, making the them look slightly gloomy and dark.

    Perhaps scaring your Vice Principle away with a gruesome scar on the first day of school isn't a bright idea after all. Ruby had at least wondered through 20 different wings. Ofthen attracting shrieks and gasps from girls, and looks of hatred and envy from guys.

    "That stupid Principle ever gave me a map… Only if I actually listened to him…

    (Flashback)

    "That's how Leader Drake fixed our cafeteria with his Flygon. And, did you know Leader Wattson actually used his Manectric to fix our power supply…? Did you know one of the workers was stuck while building the roof and Leader Wionna had to use her Altaria to get him down?"

    (Flashback ends)

    Heh… Maybe not…Ruby thought, as he starts another hopeless attempt trying to find his class, which is suppose to be an easily distinguished one… However, the evidence so far suggests that this statement is optimistic to a point of foolishness.

    "Geography of Hoenn… Emergency treatment of evil status… AHHH!" Ruby's thought was interrupted by two hands, which was strangling his neck, along with poor imitations of a Groudon's battle cry. Those pathetic sounds can only come from one person. One of the strongest trainers in whole Johto region, one that owns a Typhlosion that is able to use Flamewheel, one that was the previous Champion of Johto just before Ruby, and most importantly, one of the most hopelessly pathetic individuals that lived in this world…

    "Hiya, Ruby- kun! I didn't know you moved here too… OUCH!" A boy with dark hair and golden eyes acknowledged him warmly while smiling idiotically, until he received a smack on his forehead.

    "Gold, BAKA! Let go of his neck!" A girl said with a tone that left no room for arguments. A girl with semi-transparent eyes and dark hair that was arranged neatly into two ponytails. A girl that was acknowledged by her skills in catching pokemon. A girl, according to rumours, had caught all the non-legendary pokemon.

    "Hey Gold, Crystal," Ruby nodded, grateful of their presence, "Do you two have any idea where the hell this Pokemon battling technique class is?"

    "Lost, I assume? Don't worry about it, buddy. I couldn't even find the washroom on the first day… Here, let me see your timetable…" Gold laughed, taking Ruby's timetable. "Lets see, Pokemon battling… You have that with me… Evil Status Treatment… I think you are with Red and Yellow… Lunch… Geography of Hoenn…Potion making... Ahh, nice subjects…"

    "Whatever… Now, would you please show me where this class is?"

    "Sure thing… Let's go. See you later Crys!"

    "Bye, Gol, Ruby-Kun, have a great day."

    Ruby did nothing other than nod in response, and then he asked Gold.

    "CRYS? GOL? Oh my… I did not know that you guys are on first-name basis already… So you finally decided to settle down instead of being the sick little pervert I knew for so long…"

    Gold murmured something that sounded like shut up, then ignored him.

    Ruby said nothing, right now, he has to worry about the whole year in this dreaded campus before his adventure.

    He did not know that he was about to encounter an old friend, a girl that would turn the next year of his high school life upside down…


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Whoa… Ruby exclaimed, as he entered the dome. It is a stage that looked like the ones in Indigo Plateaus. It consists of neon lights and three huge stages in the center. There are different posters on the hall of gym leaders and Elite Trainers. Much to his disappointment, one of them shows his Dad, with his fearsome Slaking, engaged in battle.

    The teacher was not bad. He appears to be a reasonable male who did not question Ruby's past or the fact that he wears a headband. At least he's better than that V.P. Ruby chuckled. Perhaps the management of Littleroot High screwed up and hired such brainless teacher. Perhaps all the other teachers are nice and understanding…

    These thoughts remained in his head, until the second that the teacher ordered him to introduce himself to the whole class. Obviously, Ruby disagreed to such a request that might have ruined his dignity, but the teacher ignored all pleads and reasoning from the Johto champion and insisted him to tell his personal hobbies and goals.

    Fine… Ruby grumbled, as he stands awkwardly in front of the class.

    "My name is Ruby… I just moved to here from err… Johto… I assume that you guys do not give a dam about my personal information such as hobbies or pet peeves. And I have no intention of sharing my past or my future ambitions to obnoxious fools like you guys who live in this enclosed turtle shell…Will that do, sir?"

    "Yes… That will do," the teacher said while giving him death glares, "now, as you guys all know, today is the battling evaluation test. Each of you will be battling your classmates, whoever loses will be eliminated and the winner will advance to the next round. I will judge how you react in the battle and how you correspond with the situation."


    The test was much easier than Ruby predicted. He had fought 4 trainers so far, 3 of them are so pathetic that Ruby was able to defeat them without using any offensive moves.

    (Flashback)

    Ruby was standing on one side of the stage; on the other side is a trainer with a weary Makuhita. The match has only begun for 30 seconds, and the Makuhita almost faint of exhaustion because of its thoughtless trainer.

    "All right, let's give end this match right now! Use headbutt!" The trainer said with confidence.

    "Err, Gengar, ignore it…" Ruby ordered, trying really hard to not laugh at the trainer's idiocy.

    The Makuhita rushes into the Gengar and attempts to knock it out by hitting it with its head, but it went right through Gengar's translucent body and crashes right into the wall. Leaving it blurry eyed and lying on the ground.

    (Flashback ends)


    Umm… The students here are indeed… Peculiar…

    "Bored already?" Gold asked.

    Having lost to a girl at first round because he was distracted definitely did not bother him.

    "Yea… Do you actually know anyone who can really battle here, besides Red?"

    Gold did not get a chance to answer his question because the teacher called Ruby for his final battle. Mumbling, Ruby climbed up the stage where he has humiliated many follow students.

    "Alright! This is the final match between Ruby, and Sapphire!"

    SA…Sapphire?

    It is her…The same eyes, same hair. But…how?

    "Guys… BEGIN THE BATTLE!" The teacher yelled.

    Without any warning, Sapphire threw a Pokeball out, and a grand bird with fluffy feather emerged.

    Ruby chuckled, she's still a sucker for birds…

    "Alright, you should know this one. Go, Kingdra! Use mist!"

    "Altaria, use aerial ace!"

    ****, it's fast… I guess I have to use mist…

    The majestic blue bird soared down and scratches the giant seahorse with its sharp claws, knocking Kingdra out with one hit.

    However, it simply appears to be a copy of the original pokemon. As the real Kingdra was behind the Altaria all the time, however, the bird is much faster than the seahorse, and raised its neck, as strands of flames can be seen coming out from its mouth. The crowd gasped at the Altaria's agility.

    Guess she got better, I can end this right now, but not after what I did 2 years ago…Sorry Kingdra…Ruby thought, as he waited silently for Sapphire to deliver the finishing move.

    However, the Altaria did not get a chance to finish its attack, because it was restored to its pokeball by its trainer, as the blue-eyed girl ran up to Ruby, and embraced him…

    "I'm sorry…" The auburn-haired girl whispered, sparkling tears can be seen on her face.

    Ruby said nothing, as he brings his arms around the crying girl and looked at every other person in the room right now, glaring at him.

    This is definitely gonna be a long year…

    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.
     
    Chapter 4 – a walk of memories
    Ruby was definitely correct. This walking idea is probably the second most unwise choice he made in life, apart from saving Sapphire. She'd been mumbling endlessly about nothing, at least to Ruby, nothing. His head still hurts from the impact, perhaps because of all the information Sapphire uploaded into his brain, causing his small mind to crash.

    "Man… I just hate it when I lose, ever since that day…" Sapphire mumbled.

    The weather was perfect; clouds cover the sky as they poured rains, as a few people on the streets trying to cover themselves with newspapers. Ruby took a breath of the fresh air as he letting the rain washes his soul. Sapphire, on the other hand:

    "Oh no… What am I gonna do in the rain? I'm gonna be all wet, and my hair would be… Oh no!" She moaned loudly.

    "Gosh woman. Shut up!" Ruby barked, finally failed to restrain his temper. Sapphire suddenly turned and stared at him with her sky blue eyes, a look Ruby hated because of its attractiveness and the fact that it is almost impossible to ignore.

    He looked back blankly, "…What? Wait, you don't think I can drop you off do you? We will get struck by lighting… I can change the weather with a Castform, but it feels so nice right now… Besides, you have an Altaria yourself…"

    "But how am I going to get home?"

    "Well, you move over a surface by taking steps with the feet at a pace slower than a run, which is… walking." Ruby smirked.

    "But I'm gonna be all wet!"

    "Well… Don't walk then." Ruby said, as he begins to turn to the direction of his house. Sapphire followed.

    "You done talking about yourself and stuff I don't care about?" Ruby asked, with a slightly edge.

    "You weren't even paying attention were you?" Sapphire said, sadly, "you should have told me if you never wanted to listen."

    "I never wanted to listen in the first place," Ruby said, as Sapphire started to turn red god… maybe I am being a little bit annoying, "So don't get so worked up about it."

    "Ruby, you are such a mean and inconsiderate person." Sapphire grunted.

    "Do you think that's news to me anymore?" He answered childishly, stuffing his hand into his pocket as he looked up into the sky.
    Neither of them spoke for a long while, until Ruby realized that it is the forth time they pass the huge pine tree in front of the school. "What the hell? Don't you know where you live?" he muttered.

    "Well," Sapphire answered sheepishly, "I think we should like… take a detour. I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to talk more."

    "Why the hell would you want to do that?" He asked, certainly confused.

    "Umm…you are the only one who actually wants to listen to me talk, besides Yellow and Crystal." Sapphire began.

    "I call it complaining or… b*tching, go on."

    "You know… I think we aren't on… friend terms."

    Ruby stared at Sapphire with fake concern, "What give you that idea?" Sapphire glared at him sharply, he just chuckled.

    "I heard Gold telling Red about how annoying I was to you. And also the fact that I hugged…" Sapphire stopped, blushing.

    "I guess you are right… But, it wasn't suppose to be offensive… Look, I lied."

    "Is that all you cannot stand about me?!"

    "Errr, well… no."

    "THERE IS MORE? I never thought you are so cruel. I always remember you as a brave, good hearted guy who saved me from that huge Tyranitar." Sapphire said, rather loudly.

    "That depends."

    "Depends on what?" Sapphire snapped.

    "God… I want to go home… I am so hungry…" Ruby begged.

    "And I am waiting!" She replied, Ruby flashed an incredibly angered look, but said nothing. "I want to know why you cannot stand me, what you hate about me, and why you don't like me…"

    "Okay… I DON'T hate you… Well, if you call attempting to murder then… maybe…" Sapphire gave him a look of disbelief as she raised her eyebrows. "Look, just because you think you have the worst life out of anyone and everyone, does not give you have reason to complain about it all the time."

    "Hmph," she huffed again, crossing her arms, and looking away from him. She had to admit, he was a really good liar. She almost believed everything he said. …how could she not? His face seemed so innocent, but yet in a way… extremely jaded. She turned her attention to him, directly. She scanned all of his features…

    "What?"

    "Nothing…"

    "What the hell… Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.

    "Oh… Nothing." Sapphire blushed as she looked at the ground, at least it won't mind… "I still cannot come up with a conclusion of why you hate me…"

    "God, Sapphire. I cannot believe you actually care… If I don't like someone, I would leave them alone…" Ruby muttered…

    "Shut up…Anyways, are you sure you are okay? You got hit pretty bad today…" Sapphire asked.

    "I'm fine…You never told me why you stayed, are you sure you didn't suffer any… brain damage?" Ruby smirked.

    "I just wanted to do something nice for you… after all I have done…"

    "By what? Bore me to death? After all, you shouldn't talk to be, I am really boring…"

    "Come on, Ruby, you and your friends are probably the strongest trainers in the school, you cannot be that boring…" She told him.

    "You are right! I and my dear friends are the strongest trainers in this school, I have probably the most interesting history and personality in the whole world!" he nodded, sarcastically.

    "Ruby…"

    "May 5th, I got hit by Gold's fat Typhlosion on the head, you can write that into my autobiography and tell my fan club that."

    "Come on… What about your family?"

    "My mom is over-protective and crazy… ever since that day… My dad… I do not want to talk about it." Ruby muttered, darkly.

    "Interesting…"

    "You are horrible at lying…"

    "Unlike you…"

    "You know…" Ruby said quietly, "I never knew all the shut-up while I complain sessions actually meant something to you…"

    "It did." Sapphire answered, "I do not know about you, but I prefer people listing to me, it makes me think that I actually exist."

    "I don't want anyone to care, that's my problem," Ruby said, "I can talk to myself… and I still won't care." He shrugged. "That's just how I am."

    "Well… Don't you try to listen to people when they talk to you? The only reason you are doing this to yourself is because you think no one cares about you. So you tend not to care about other people. Correct?"

    Ruby just shrugged.

    "Answer me!"

    Ruby still said nothing, however, this time, anger showed up on his face, while the rain started to cover his whole face, making it look especially gloomy.

    "Well, stop it. You act all stuck-up and cold because you think no one cares about you. You act like you are invisible and you also act like you like it. You're like a poor little kid, praying for attention silently, hoping that someone would care about you, but you are too afraid to ask because you don't want to get hurt. I pity you. Ruby." Sapphire concluded arrogantly.

    Finally, Ruby spoke, however, his tone this time held no sarcasm, but anger and disappointment:

    "This is MY LIFE! You probably think you know a lot about people by simply predicting their life. But guess what? You are wrong! Did you know I have a Dad who doesn't give a crap about me? Did you know what happened after I showed up with a scar on my head, he merely shrugged. But, hey! Do you see me complain? No, I do not complain while I have a huge scar on my head and have a dad who treated me like an inanimate object! You pity me? Don't make me laugh, you care about me only because you want to make up for all the things you did to me, so you can continue with your life without burdens. Well, I should judge you because I am not much of a saint myself, but don't telling me about my own life and how should I act toward others."

    With that statement, Ruby walked off without caring about the tears can be seen on Sapphire's face. Right now, he has way too much more important things to worry about than a girl crying because of his attitude.

    He did not know that he will be regretting his choice for a long time.
     
    You do know that Franticshipping and Hoennshipping are two very different shippings right? Hoennshipping is more fan-created.

    I'm going to do this one chapter at a time. Yeah? Yeah. :) Starting with the prologue! Tee hee!
    The clock supposes to, and did, ring at 8:00 a.m
    Er. Let's read that out loud. Did you do it? Good. Did it make sense? Why, not it did not. Now slap your forehead, shout, "Oh my goodness!" and fix it to something like "The clock was suppose to, and did, ring at 8:00 a.m."

    In fact, in just skimming alone, I found a lot of tense errors between the past and present tense.
    The crimson eyed boy
    Now I myself was fond of using pretty descriptive words like crimson and aquamarine and jade and the whole mess like that in order to describe eyes because hey, I like eyes. But crimson is an awfully odd shade of red I might add. You would of been find with writing red.
    "Perhaps you should try telling me yours first? It's rude to ask someone's name without telling his (her) first."
    Oi. You don't have to be politically correct. I hate when authors do that. If you really want to though, say her instead since Ruby is talking to a girl after all.

    So this isn't exactly based off the manga na? You're just using the manga names and some elements of the manga. That's cool... =3

    Brendan and May would of worked fine too...

    =3

    How exactly did he catch Latios. And um, why would he use the masterball on the Tyranitar and not Latios? And um, why is Latios in Johto?

    Um. Confused.

    Anyways, why would Ruby be so rude to Sapphire if he was "so memerized by her eyes?" Wouldn't he want to be nice to her instead of not caring about how she felt? It doesn't seem like has has changed from two years later. He still seems disgruntled and such.

    Anyways, from the first two chapters, there were a few past tense and present tense errors. Like:
    that somehow helpedthe blue dragon levitatesfrom the ground.
    Levitates would just be levitate.

    Yeah. Watch out for those.

    LaTeR dAyZ!
