What are friends for?​

Part 1

Everyday seems to be a busy day for Green. Ever since he married his fianc?, Yellow, things got even busier. Time seems to be short for him nowadays. Green?s life seems to revolve around work and his wife. He always mentioned to her about having a day-off or maybe taking her out for a romantic dinner but his work was always there to delay some things for him. Now that Yellow is eight and a half months pregnant, Green needs to take care of Yellow and go to work at the same time.

Green and Yellow?s home lay near Pallet Town. It was just a little bit off from the city. Green bought their house, thanks to his job. It was pretty odd to see a two-story house near pallet town, which are mainly one-story houses, and some two-story houses. Their home was a walk away from the laboratory. So in case Green was needed, he just takes a stroll there. Everything seems to be a perfect life?well except one thing?

?Green, you?re working too hard,? Yellow said one morning as she cooked breakfast.

Green adjusted his reading glasses. A newspaper was in one hand while a mug of coffee was steaming right in front of him. ?Hm??

?Honey, ever since you?ve been a licensed professor, you?re taking much time in your lab.? Yellow said as she sat in front of her husband and held his hand.

Green placed the newspaper down and held her hand. ?I?m sorry, Yellow. I?m kinda busy these days. I just don?t know if I time or something.?

Yellow remained silent and noticed that he was holding her hand, too. ?It?s been eight months?? She whispered. ?Our baby?s coming out soon??

Green smiled as he stood up and stood behind his wife and hugged her. ?You must be excited, huh?? He whispered to her ear.

Yellow nodded. ?I can?t believe we?re starting a family of our own.? She said as she held Green?s arms.

Green kissed Yellow in the cheek but at the same time, his Pok?Gear rang.

?What? What now?? He muttered as he fumbled through his pockets searching for his Pok?Gear.

Yellow gave him a concerned look as Green answered his Pok?Gear.

?Green here,? He said through the receiver. ?Yeah?can?t you give me at least some time here? Yeah, yeah?what? Okay, bye!?

?It?s from the lab, huh?? Yellow sighed as she felt Green?s hand on her shoulder tighten.

Green nodded. ?Sorry, Yellow. They said that they need me there, quick.?

Yellow sighed again. She felt Green kiss her cheek again.

?Be back soon, Honey.? Green whispered.

~*~*~*~

Green rushed over to the lab. He quickly took out his lab coat from a cabinet and wore it without ease.

?What now?? He yelled as he entered the main room.

Green managed to reach the laboratory in time. His sister still works in the same laboratory ever since her grandfather was still the residing professor. His sister and his aides stared at him as he stormed inside. Files and documents were scattered all over the table. File cabinets filled with lab papers lined the walls.

?Green, we really need you to do some research for us,? Said one of the approaching aides.

?Research? For what?? Green raised his voice since this has been one of the many times that he was disturbed while he was having a conversation with his wife.

?Green, this one will be a short one, we promise. We just need you to travel to Viridian city in order to check the recent Pok?mon outbreaks.? His sister said as he passed through and grabbed research papers. ?Please, brother.?

?Look, May. These days, I don?t have any time with my wife left. We?re going to have a baby pretty much soon and you people are forcing me to do more work?? Green said quickly as he slammed files down the table.

Everyone was silent.

?Brother, I?m sorry. It?s just that there aren?t much of us who can do the research except you,?

Green sighed. ?If this is more quick than what they claim, I better take it.? He thought. ?All right. I?ll take it then.?

A sigh of relief pervaded the room.

?Well now, when do I start?? He asked his sister.

May flipped through pages of documents. ?Since today is Monday, you have to start tomorrow. The research might take about a whole week.?

Green?s heart fell. ?That?s not quick. After that research, I need to go to the Kanto Researcher?s Convention?and that lasts for a whole three weeks!?

?Green, we really need you to confirm about the behavior of the Pok?mon,? May plead.

Green let out a low sigh. ?Fine, I?ll start tomorrow.? He slowly walked out of the room and hung his lab coat. Then, he directly walked towards his home.

~*~*~*~

?You?re starting tomorrow?? Yellow repeated Green?s words. ?But then you have to leave home soon for your convention.?

Green nodded. ?I really wish I could take care of you for at least a day,? He said as Yellow held his hand. ?I guess I won?t be here for a few days.?

?Green, but what about our baby??

?Don?t worry. I promise I?ll be here as soon as possible.? Green reassured her. Yellow?s been worried since she might give birth when Green might not be present. Now that Green promised her, she felt much comfortable.

?You promise?? She said in her sweet voice.

?Yeah, I promise.? Green then gave her a small kiss to her lips. ?I?ll be returning home once in a while, anyway during the week.?

Yellow smiled. She leaned on Green?s shoulder as she drifted off to sleep in the dim lit room. Green held her hand as he gazed his wife.

~*~*~*~

?Be careful, Green.? Yellow said worriedly as Green lifted up his backpack.

?Don?t worry, I will!? He said as he left her a goodbye kiss.

Green waved as he exited from his house then went off to Viridian city up north. Yellow could see him disappear into the horizon. She was alone now. She sighed as she walked over to the living room and stared outside through the window. All these days, she was bored since she couldn?t do anything.

As the hours passed by, she fell asleep. But a knock on the door woke her up. There was another knock on the door. She stood up carefully and noticed that it was already noon.

?Anybody home?? Called a familiar voice.

?That voice?? Yellow thought. ?Could it be?? She quickly opened the door to see two familiar faces. A boy with jet-black hair was standing in front of her. He wore a cap, suggesting that he hasn?t changed his ways even since they met. A smile that went from ear to ear was in his face. Next to him was a girl with dark blue hair. Yellow recognized them immediately?Gold and Crystal.

?Hey Yellow! Came to drop by!? Gold said while grinning.

?Hey! It?s been so long, you guys! Come in!? She said as she led them to the living room.

?So, is Green home?? Crystal asked as they entered the living room.

?Oh, no. He left this morning for research in Viridian city.? Yellow replied as all three sat down. ?So, do you guys want anything to drink or something??

?No, we?re just fine.? Crystal immediately said even before Gold say a word. ?Wow, it?s been eight months already, huh??

Yellow smiled and nodded. ?We?re expecting our baby next month now,?

Gold was in his thinking position. ?Eight months?hmm?so you guys were wed eight months ago, too?so??

?Gold, stop that!? Crys interrupted him before he could say anything more.

Yellow laughed. ?Gold, you haven?t changed.? She said.

?No, he hasn?t?? Crystal sighed. ?So when is Green coming back??

?Oh, he?s doing research work for a whole week. Then he needs to go to a researcher convention in Pewter, Saffron and Celadon.? Yellow sighed.

?Oh, will he be here when??

?He promised me he will?but I don?t know how will he get here in time?? Yellow sighed but then her face brightened up. ?Are you sure you guys aren?t hungry or anything??

?Uh, do you have anything to eat?? Gold muttered before Crystal could say anything.

?Well, let me check,? Yellow said as she stood up.

?Wait, wait!? Crystal hesitated. ?I can do the cooking here. You need rest, Yellow!?

?Oh, okay. If that?s what you guys want?? Yellow smiled as she sat down again.

Crys eyed Gold. A warning that told him not to act funny. Gold smiled then nodded. Before Crystal could reach the kitchen, she heard Gold?s voice. ?Hey Yellow, since Green?s busy and all and you?re having a baby, we might lend you hand here.?

?Huh? What do you mean?? Yellow asked with a puzzled expression.

?We can you here in the house! You know?cooking, cleaning and stuff??

Crys reappeared quickly in the living room. ?Yeah, you might need help!? She exclaimed.

Yellow smiled. ?Okay. But I don?t know if Green would want you guys helping??

?Oh don?t worry about Green. I?m sure he?s glad that he doesn?t have to worry much about you, right?? Gold reassured while winking at her.

?Okay then?I guess??

?Great! So where do we start?? Gold asked.

?Hey Gold! I thought you were hungry!?

?Oh, I?m not hungry anymore.?

Crys muttered something but then turned her attention towards Yellow.

?Well, I guess the kitchen needs some cleaning since I haven?t washed the dishes yet?? She then paused. ?And the lawn needs some mowing since Green doesn?t have time to mow the lawn.?

?I do the lawn!? Gold exclaimed enthusiastically.

?That leaves me the kitchen. Do you need something else, Yellow? Clean sheets or anything??

?Oh, nothing right now.? Yellow smiled at Crys and noticed the enthusiastic Gold going out at the lawn already. Yellow laughed as she noticed that Gold was already having trouble and was yelling at the primitive lawnmower. It was one of those mechanical ones where you have to push them in order for the blades to rotate. ?Don?t cut yourself!? Yellow said from the house.

?Don?t what?? Gold muttered as he examined the lawnmower. He sat down and observed it. It took him a few minutes to realize that the blades rotate when he pushes the mower.

With a smile, he stood up and pushed the mower all across the lawn, which was choked with weeds. He mowed recklessly, occasionally hitting rocks and pebbles, which shot out into the other direction.

On the other hand, Crys doesn?t seem to have any trouble cleaning up the kitchen?except when she realized that Gold was already finished with the lawn and moved on to the backyard. She was worried when she noticed the occasional rock shooting.

?Hey Gold!? She yelled through the window right in front of her.

Gold turned to the window with a worried face but continued on mowing. ?What??

?Don?t hit the rocks they?ll?? It was too late. A rock shot out of the mower and through the window.

?Oh crap?? Gold muttered.

Crystal stood there with a horrified expression. Gold and her just destroyed their friend?s window.

?Oh no?what are we going to do?? Crystal muttered in panicked tone.

?What was that?? Yellow called out from the living room. ?I though something breaking.?

?Oh, it was nothing, nothing really!? Crys said half laughing.

Gold quickly ran into the kitchen through the backdoor.

?Gold, no!? He didn?t notice a bucket of mop water and a mop lying down in front of him. Well, he did trip over it and caused a whole mess on the floor. ?Gold!? Crys yelled.

?Do you guys need anything?? Yellow asked over the living room.

?Oh we?re just fine Yellow!? Crys replied as she yanked the bucket out of Gold?s foot. ?Be careful!?

?I am! Geez, what a mess.? Gold said as he looked around the kitchen. A hole was in the glass window and a rock was sitting on the wet, dirty floor. The mop was just thrown about in the kitchen floor. Gold stood up dusting himself, now very wet.

?Well you go find something to replace that window over there. I?ll clean this mess.? Crystal muttered as she started to mop with clean water.

?Okay,? Gold muttered as he made his way to the tool shed in the garden. He made his way through the half-mowed lawn and into the old, dusty wooden tool shed. He opened the rusted latched and slowly opened the door. It creaked as it opened. Gold entered inside the cobweb-infested shed. Light filtered through the dust filled windows. He could see the dust floating around through the light that came by.

?Man, this thing is needs to get cleaned up,? He thought to himself as he tried to find a glass pane for the window. He looked around the dusty tools, the dirty shelves and the unused machines. Finally, after much effort, he found them, wrapped in brown paper. He took out one and made his way back to the house.

Back in the house, Crystal swept the floor, which was riddled with glass shards. She threw out the trash immediately and started on moping the floor. She started out from the back door and made her way through the wet tiles of the kitchen floor. She wiped sweat from her brow and sighed.

?Hey Crys!? Gold yelled which made her jump. ?I found one!? Gold?s muddy feet touched the tiles immediately and caused huge marks on the floor.

?Gold!? Crys yelled when he noticed the muddy marks. ?Stay back! Stay over there!? Crys yelled pointing to one direction. Gold moved to the right but only made more smears on the floor.

?No! Not there! Go back! Go back!? Before Gold could get the message, he already made the kitchen floor even dirtier and muddier than before. Gold backed out and went outside.

?Stay there until I?m finished!? Crystal muttered. ?And look at you! You?re so messy and your clothes are so dirty!?

?Okay, okay! I?m sorry!? Gold replied. ?I just went into the shed and it was dirty in there!?

Gold finally figured a way to replace the broken pane on the outside. Inside, it took Crys a while to clean up Gold?s previous mess and his current one. After a few hours, it was all done. However, Gold?s work was unfinished outside. He didn?t know how vast Yellow and Green?s lawn was.

?Finally, finished!? Crys sighed as she sat down with Yellow.

?Oh, I?m glad you?re done. I was getting a bit bored?what took you guys so long?? She asked.

?Oh?nothing?nothing really!? Crys smiled sheepishly as Yellow wondered.

?Thanks for helping anyway. Now, do you want something to drink?? Yellow smiled happily. ?I?m sure you?re tired after that!?

?Um, I?ll just get water for myself. You just rest, Yellow!? She exclaimed as she dragged herself back to the kitchen.

It took a while for Gold to finish. After he?s done with his chore, he regretted the fact that he volunteered for Yellow. He slowly slumped on the couch, now that he took a bath and in new clothes. Crystal forced him since he made a mess when he entered the house again. She said that he should take off his clothes on the outside so that they won?t cause much mess on the inside. Well, he disagreed to that fact.

?Man, I?m beat?? Gold mumbled as he relaxed.

?You?re not the only one,? Crys muttered. ?You keep making a mess every time you go in this house.?

?So that?s why it took you guys so long?? Yellow wondered.

?Kinda?? Crys said but soon realized that it was already turning dark. ?Hey, Yellow. Maybe we can stay here and help you until Green comes back!? She exclaimed all of the sudden. She glanced at Gold. Sheer terror was in his face.

?Oh, I don?t know. Are you guys sure?? Yellow asked worriedly. ?I don?t know when Green will come back.?

?Oh that doesn?t matter.? Crys replied heartily. ?It?s going to be fine and Green will be leaving again, we?ll still stay until?well?you give birth and stuff!?

Gold started to hesitate but Crys? glare stopped him.

?Oh, okay. If that?s what you guys say.? Yellow said while looking outside. ?Wow, it?s dark already. I?ll do dinner then.?

Crys nudged Gold. ?Wait Yellow! I can do dinner for you!? Gold exclaimed almost immediately.

?Huh, Gold? Can you cook??

?Yeah?well?sorta?? Gold immediately went to the kitchen and started to cook.

Crys and Yellow chatted happily as Gold started to cook. Gold made a bit of clanging noises down at the kitchen which worried Yellow a bit but Crys reassured her that Gold?s an excellent cook.

Part 2

The next day, Gold was doing the chores once more. Since he doesn?t have nothing much to do, he was forced to do the yard work again. Crys on the other hand took care of Yellow on the inside. Things seem ordinary that day, except a knock on the door.

?Who could it be?? Crys wondered as she opened the door. On the doorstop, she couldn?t believe her eyes. A tall figure with long red hair and sharp silver eyes was standing on the doorstep. His red hair was tied neatly behind him. Besides him was a brunette with long hair and a quick smile on her face. Her eyes twinkled as Crys remembered them before. She was holding a baby with a tuft of red hair, sleeping peacefully in her arms.

?What are you guys doing here?? Crys exclaimed as she smiled, happy to see her old friends.

?Huh? Isn?t Yellow and Green supposed to live here? I knew we got the wrong address?? Silver muttered.

?No, no! This is their home. We just came here and visited them.? Crys said as she let the two in.

?It?s so nice to meet you again, Crystal!? Blue exclaimed happily as she hugged her with one arm.

Crys led them to living room where Yellow was.

?Blue? Silver?? She exclaimed as the two entered the living room. ?Long time no see!?

Blue squealed as she quickly sat next to Yellow. ?Wow, Yellow! It?s been eight months already!?

Yellow nodded happily then noticed the baby on Blue?s arms. ?Is that Steve? Wow, he?s growing up pretty fast!?

Blue nodded. ?He likes to sleep a lot, too.? The three girls laughed happily since all of them were once again together after a long time.

Instinctively, Silver went backyard. ?If Crys is here, then so is Gold,? He muttered as he made his way there. He was right. He let out a low laugh as he saw Gold, slaving at the backyard.

?What? Who?s laughing? Is it one of you kids again?? Gold yelled as he popped out of the yard shed, dusty and exhausted. His disheveled look made him look quite awful especially the gloves in his hand. His eyes transfixed to those of Silver?s.

?Long time no see,? Silver simply said.

?What are you doing here?? Gold exclaimed as the tension between the two tightened.

?Oh nothing. Just seeing you here. What are you doing anyway?? Silver muttered as he looked at Gold sharply. ?I heard you were visiting with Crystal.?

?Oh?yeah?about that.? Gold muttered as he took off his gloves. ?Crys volunteered to help Yellow and all.?

?Oh, clever. Where?s Green??

?Gone of to a research somewhere. That?s why we tried to help her. Get it?? Gold said maintaining a safe distance away from him.

Silver nodded. ?Oh well, I?ll be at the living room with the girls.? He sighed then turned around leaving Gold, who was muttering about doing the yard work.

Inside, the three girls chatted happily. Steve, Blue?s baby, was now already awake and staring the two other strangers in total bewilderment.

?Aw, isn?t he so cute?? Crys squealed as she pinched Steve?s cheek. Steve recoiled and was still eyeing at Crystal and Yellow.

?I just hope that Green comes back soon,? Blue said to Yellow.

Yellow nodded. ?He said that he?s coming back once in a while during the week.?

?Hey, Crystal. Didn?t you say you were helping Yellow, right?? Blue asked.

?Yep,? She responded gleefully.

?How about I let Silver help you guys out??

The moment she said the words, Silver entered the room. ?Were you guys just talking about me?? He said.

?Oh yeah! Just in time! I was thinking if we should help Yellow out.? Blue smiled as he handled her baby.

Silver was in total shock. What he was just doing?making fun of Gold because he was forced to work?is now going to happen to him.

?Wait, I don?t know about this?? Silver muttered but his voice trailed off when his eyes met Blue?s glare. ?Alright, alright!?

?Great! You can start by helping Gold on the backyard.? Crys exclaimed.

~*~*~*~

?I wouldn?t be here if Blue didn?t think of volunteering?how is she helping in the first place?? Silver muttered to Gold as he wiped sweat from his forehead.

?Suits you. That?s what you get for laughing at me in the first place.?

?Shut up and hand me that shovel.? Silver quickly replied.

The two found themselves working in the backyard under the burning sun. They were wearing overalls, and looked silly with huge gardening gloves. Gold handed Silver the shovel as he continued to mutter.

The shed was finally organized and clean, thanks to Gold. However, the trash inside the shed needs to be disposed of. Silver handled the trash inside big black plastic bags then wondered where to put it.

?Oh just put it on the trash bin on the front lawn. Close it though. You don?t want wild Pok?mon clawing through that.? Gold remarked to the struggling Silver.

Silver panted as he dragged the huge trash bag. Inside, he could hear the loud chattering and laughter. ?Girls,? He muttered. He didn?t notice a rip that was on the bottom of the trash bag. As he dragged it, the hole grew bigger and bigger. Soon, piles of trash trailed behind him. ?Strange?why is it getting lighter and lighter?? He turned around and to his horror, the trash was all over the lawn.

?Silver!? Gold yelled and swore out loud. ?What did you do??

?Aw, man?? Silver muttered. ?Didn?t notice that.?

Inside, the girls changed their subject to profanity. They must?ve heard Gold swear.

?You just made a whole bunch of mess!?

Silver swore as he began to pick up the trash. ?Gimme a new bag,? He muttered loudly.

Gold quickly threw him another black plastic bag and they both started to collect the trash.

?Wouldn?t have happened if it wasn?t your fault,? Gold remarked.

?My fault?? Silver exploded as he stood up. ?You?re the one who gave me this bag with a rip!?

?I didn?t notice so just shut up!?

The two continued to fight as they finished the job. By that time, daylight waned as the sky turned into a shade of gold. All are inside, eating happily.

?What took you guys so long?? Crystal said as she started a new conversation. ?And what?s with all the swearing??

Gold and Silver glared at each other.

?Just a bit of problems,? Gold muttered as he stuffed food in his mouth.

?Yeah, problems,? Silver repeated as he ate silently.

?Well, you two get along so well,? Blue said sarcastically as she fed Steve. ?You guys haven?t changed really??

Her voice stopped abruptly when a knock on the door was heard.

?Who could that be?? Yellow said as she started to stand up but was stopped by Crystal.

?I?ll get it! Don?t worry, Yellow.? She said as she ran to the door.

When she reached the door, she quickly opened it.

?Crystal?? Green said, surprised. ?What are you doing here??

?Hey Green!? Crys smiled vibrantly. ?Long time no see! Oh, about that, just come in!?

Green was wearing a coat since the weather outside was pretty cold. He wasn?t wearing his glasses at the moment. He entered and took off his coat and peered inside.

?What are you guys doing here?? He was now really surprised to hear clattering in the kitchen.

?Surprise!? Blue yelled over at the kitchen.

Yellow looked up, happy to see her husband come home. Green entered the kitchen and gave Yellow a quick kiss but was still confused. ?Honey, what?s everyone doing here??

?Welcome home, Green!? She greeted him. ?Oh, they just decided to drop by and help since you?re pretty busy.? Yellow smiled.

?Help, huh? No wonder the trash outside was full,? Green said as he washed his hands.

?Oh, that was Gold and Silver?s work,? Crys quickly exclaimed.

?So, what brings you back here, Green??

?Just finished some research. But I?m going back to the fields again tomorrow,? He said as he sat down beside Yellow and gave her stern.

?Oh, interesting?? Blue said, trying to make up a conversation. It felt pretty awkward to see your old friends again unexpectedly.

Green sighed. ?And I thought I had this week to spare some time with Yellow. Lab work and all just keep me out of track.?

?Green, you don?t have to blame yourself about this,? Yellow said as she held his hand.

He smiled as he held her hand, too.

~*~*~*~

The next day, Green needed to leave already. He gave his wife a goodbye kiss and waved back to his friends. Soon, he was out of sight. The week passed by with the usual chores for Gold and Silver. The first few days, they managed to fully clean the lawn and the backyard. Next was the attic. It only took a few hours and five to ten minutes of arguments.

?Hey, look at this!? Gold said as he pulled out a random picture album.

?You shouldn?t be doing that.? Silver muttered as he swept dust away. ?Those might be private, you know.?

?Nah. Wouldn?t be.? He said as he blew dust away from the cover. The album had a velvet cover with gold lines for borders. He opened it and dusted off the pages. ?Hey, it?s an album when we guys were young.?

Silver immediately went towards Gold. Inside the album, they could see pictures of all of them in their early years as skilled trainers.

?Wow, everything feels like it happened yesterday.?

~*~*~*~

?Hey guys, we found this in the attic a while ago.? Gold said happily as he handed Crys the velvet picture album.

?We? You found it.? Silver corrected. ?I don?t want them to blame me if there?s something personal in there.? He whispered to Gold threateningly.

?Oh, I haven?t seen that in a long time!? Yellow remarked. ?Green and I put it together when we weren?t married yet.?

Crys examined the album with Blue by her side. Each picture contained a memory of their early years.

?Hey look at this!? Crys exclaimed as she took out a photo. ?I still remember this! I?m the one who took it!?

Everyone looked at the picture. It was a pretty bizarre sight. Someone in a Pikachu costume was hugging Yellow and Yellow was hugging bag tightly. On the background, Green looked really angry since he was glaring at the man with the Pikachu costume.

?Oh I remember that!? Yellow giggled. ?Red was in that costume and he hugged me just to make Green jealous! Green actually wanted to throw that one away.?

?Aw, why throw it away? It?s such a great picture!? Crystal laughed.

?Oh how about this one?? Blue said as she stopped Crystal from flipping the pages. ?Aw, how cute!?

In the picture, Yellow was sleeping on Green?s shoulder. Green seems to want some privacy since his hand was about to reach for the camera and his other hand was hugging Yellow.

?Oh, that?? Yellow smiled. ?I didn?t really know who took that picture. Green said it was Red.?

The rest of them laughed as they went through old memories.

~*~*~*~

Viridian forest seems to be the last place someone would want to go now. However, Green has no choice but to go here during the whole week. He looked on the ground and examined track prints and impressions of Pok?mon. Lately, it was heard that Pok?mon outbreaks were being reported in here. However, he never encountered a single outbreak ever since he came.

?Day 6: 12:47 PM. Tracks show normal behavior. Nothing extraordinary.? He wrote down his notebook after he glanced his watch. He then noticed the day. Day six. ?Just one more day.? He thought. But his thoughts were immediately let down when he realized that his convention was next.

Just then, he heard something from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw nothing. And yet, his gut feeling told him that there was something more. He slowly walked towards the bushes. His heart was pounding and his palms were sweaty. Every step he took, he could feel his temples throb.

?Who?s there?? He called. There was reply but the gentle rustling of leaves. He waited for several seconds for a reply. But since there was no reply, he moved forward again. Once he was right in front of the shrubbery, he plunged his hand into it. There was nothing and yet he heard something pass by.

He went to the other side and noticed several tracks. These tracks were from various Pok?mon in the forest. They seem to be heading into one direction. Green looked up into the darkness where the tracks lead.

?Day 6: 12:51. Tracks of various Pok?mon found. Motives unknown.?

~*~*~*~

It was night already. Only darkness was outside. Inside Yellow?s home, Gold and Crystal were sleeping together on the couch. Crystal fell asleep on Gold?s shoulder. His hand was around her and his face was touching hers, giving off a clue that he kissed her when they fell asleep.

Upstairs, Blue was still awake. Silver, on the other hand, tired from all the chores, was already asleep. Steve, their baby, was asleep also. She set him on a crib that Silver found in the attic. After cleaning it, they managed to find a place for they baby to sleep. She looked around and noticed that the light to Yellow?s room was still open.

Blue walked to that room and saw that Yellow was still awake, looking over at the picture album.

?Hey, time to sleep. Especially a mother like you.? Blue teased as she sat next to Yellow.

Yellow smiled. ?I couldn?t sleep.? She whispered. ?All these memories from before. I just wish I could relive them again.?

?Yeah, I missed those days, too.? Blue replied.

Yellow sighed. ?I?m worried about Green. I just don?t know if he?s fine or not.?

?Oh don?t worry about him!? Blue said cheerily. ?He?s gonna be fine!?

?I don?t know?? Yellow whispered as she closed the picture album.

?Let me see that again, please?? Blue asked. Yellow handed her the album. Blue flipped it open and tried to look for a certain picture. When she found it, she took it out of album. ?Remember this??

Yellow looked at the picture. She could see herself and Green under the pink blossoms of the cherry tree. Though, the picture only showed their backs. Green?s arm was around Yellow?s waist.

?I remember?? Yellow smiled. ?That was where he proposed to me.?

?Yep. I took the picture. You guys were so cute under that tree.?

~*~*~*~

Midnight. Green followed the tracks for hours. For now, he meandered around the forest in search of an end to the tracks. He wrote down notes and sketched in his map to where to tracks lead. He began following the tracks at around ten in the night. Now, two hours later, he was still unsure where to go.

?This is strange,? He thought as he saw that the tracks disappeared. He thought he took a wrong turn. But he was wrong. He looked up and noticed that he ended up in a clearing. The dark green trees swayed around the clearing. A small pond was in the center and gleamed as the moonlight shined on it. There was no sound but the rustling of the leaves. Dead leaves littered all over the ground; some on the gleaming pond. As the wind blew, leaves flew astray and all over the place.

?I?ve never noticed this place before,? Green thought to himself.

As he looked up at the sky, which was painted with bright, glittering stars, he noticed how peaceful it was in here. He sighed and noticed several Butterfrees fluttering by. Their bright silver powder trailed behind them. It was a marvelous sight. Hundreds of Butterfrees fluttered making a thick silver curtain.

?So that was what the outbreak was all about,? He thought. ?It?s a migration.?

He glanced at his watch and wrote down in his notebook.

?Day 7: 1:24 AM. Butterfrees sighted. Presumable evolved during journey from other countries. Other pre-evolved Pok?mon must have evolved during the days before. Reasons for migration: Unknown.? He wrote down. The Butterfrees continued to pass by, not noticing Green. As the last Butterfree passed by, Green looked at his notes.

?Day seven,? He thought. ?I?m going home,?

To be continued

Part 3

The next morning in Pallet town was like every other morning. People were busy traveling back and forth around the street. The weather was just fine and everyone seems to be happy. The small houses of the town were like miniature dollhouses in the distance. The sun warmed the cold streets as people walked along the sidewalk and a few cars passed by. People greeted each other and kids ran along to school.

?I hate groceries,? Gold muttered as he walked along the sidewalk with Crystal, passing a few kids who were laughing aloud.

?Well, it?s better than doing chores. And you better be happy I went with you.? Crystal muttered as she examined a list of groceries.

Gold muttered as they continued to walk on. The day was just fine and it was already the seventh day the arrived in Pallet town.

?Well, it?s your fault you ate up all of the food!? Crystal teased.

?I did not.? Gold fought back.

?Sure you didn?t,? Crystal laughed as they reached the grocery store.

After a few minutes, the two came out with grocery bags in each arm.

?Why are we having so much things anyway?? Gold asked as he struggled to look forward.

?Dunno. The list just says so. Must be having a party or something.?

?Oh yeah. Isn?t this the day where Green comes home from his research?? Gold exclaimed.

?Yep,?

They continued to walk on, still struggling with the brown paper grocery bags. Sometimes, they stopped for a while, resting.

?This is just great,? Gold muttered sarcastically. ?And we?re not even halfway to Yellow?s house!?

?Ready, Gold?? Crys asked as she stood up after a few seconds of rest.

?Okay, whenever you are,? Gold stood up and picked up the two groceries. Crystal did the same as she raised her two groceries.

Sweat started to form on Gold?s forehead as they continued the harrowing journey. But then, they heard a car stop next to them and someone come out. They didn?t notice the tall figure that was right in front of them.

? ?Scuse me,? Said the man. ?You guys might want a little help??

?Uh, sorry. We?re just fine here?Red??

Crys was right. Red stood in front of them, with a bright smile. His hair was the same before?messy and untidy. His black shirt was full of wrinkles and his blue jeans were dusty.

?Long time no see, Crys!? He said as he helped her with the two grocery bags. ?Whoa, these things are heavy!? Red said as he lifted the bags.

?Hey Red! What?s the big idea helping my girl and not me?? Gold teased as he followed Red to his car. ?Nice car you got there.?

?Yep,? Red replied as he placed the groceries in the trunk. ?I bet you guys heard that Yellow?s havin? a baby, right??

?Yeah. That?s why we?re here. We decided to help her while Green was gone a few days ago.? Crystal said as she helped Gold with his bags.

?Oh really? How is she??

?Oh she?s fine. Green?s really busy, y?know.? Gold replied.

?That?s nice to know. Now, hop in!?

The three of them went inside as Red started the car.

~*~*~*~

Crystal knocked on the door. Two other people were behind her, holding brown paper grocery bags. She waited for a while until she heard someone turning the knob.

?Hey, Crys! Back already?? Blue answered the door. ?Hey, who?s that?Red??

Red smiled as Blue recognized him.

?Red is that you? How did you get here?? Blue was thrilled as she let them inside.

?Same as always?? Red replied as she went inside the house and looked around. ?I heard Green?s not here, right?? He asked.

?Yeah. But he?s coming home today?I think.? Blue replied as she led Gold and Red to the kitchen.

?More people?? Silver muttered as he passed through the kitchen.

?Hey there Silver?old buddy?old pal?? Red replied but noticed that Silver already left the kitchen. ?So hey, where?s Yellow??

?Oh she?s upstairs. She needs rest you know. Maybe you can help.?

?Me? Help?well?I dunno??

?Come on, Red! There?s only two guys here and we?re having a hard time cleaning stuff up.? Gold said as he placed the grocery bags over the kitchen counter. ?Ow my hands?? He muttered as he rubbed his hands.

?Okay, okay?so what do we do??

~*~*~*~

?Didn?t know you were coming here, Red.? Yellow greeted him. They were sitting in the living room while the others are still doing things in the kitchen.

?Oh, just came here to see how things are going since you?re having a baby and all.? Red replied.

The sun was already about to set and the orange rays streamed down the windows. Red just finished all of Gold and Silver?s chores. They were smart enough to fool Red into doing their chores for them.

?Oh that?s nice of you. Green?s really busy lately.? Yellow sighed. ?He?s leaving again tomorrow for a convention in some cities.?

?So?Green doesn?t have much time, huh?? Red muttered as he looked down and dusted his dingy pants.

Yellow simply looked out at the window. ?No?not really?Red?are you still angry at him??

?No, not really?? Red said.

?Please forget about it, Red?some things come and go?and when things go, just move on.? Yellow pleaded to him.

Red sighed, as his gaze remained transfixed to the ground. ?I?m sorry??

Yellow smiled. ?Just forget about it, okay??

Red nodded and stood up. ?Man, isn?t he coming or what??

~*~*~*~

Green?s Pok?Gear rang without stopping. ?Hey! I?m already in front of my home you know!? He yelled over the receiver. ?I don?t want to talk to anyone for a while!?

?Green, we just wanted to remind you that the convention is tomorrow and it starts in Saffron city.? Said one of his aides.

?I know, I know already! I?m turning off my phone now. So no one bothers me, right?? With that, he closed his Pok?Gear. This is it?his only time to spend time with his wife. Even though his friends might be here, there?s nothing to worry about, right?

But then he noticed the red car parked in front of his house. ?What he heck is that doing in there?? He muttered out loud. He made his was through the newly trimmed lawn and the hushed house. As he took every step, time seems to pass slowly. Finally, he found himself in front of the door. He knocked once, twice. Finally, the door opened for him.

Yellow answered the door. As soon as she saw her husband, she smiled and greeted him.

?Hey, Green.? She smiled.

?Well, I?m home for the night.? Green said as he kissed her in the cheek.

As he went inside, he was shocked to see a certain someone who was in there.

?Red? What are you doing here??

?Hey! How?s it going? Just to see you and your wife there?you know?stuff?? Red replied with a smile in his face.

As if the two would relive the tension between their rivalries back then but were stopped when the rest of the group greeted him.

?Dude, we cleaned you house!? Gold muttered as he patted Green?s shoulder. ?Aren?t you happy for that.?

?Gold!? Crys yelled. ?That?s stupid!?

?Oh, never mind then??

~*~*~*~

?Are you still angry at Red?? Yellow asked Green. It was quite late that night. Everyone else was asleep except Green and Yellow. ?Why?? She asked when she noticed Green nod. ?You?ve always said that rivalry is childish and you wouldn?t do it again.?

The two were in their room, talking. Green was sitting on one side of the bed while Yellow was just next to him.

?But, you don?t see here?both of us?we tried to win your heart before. Couldn?t you remember??

?I do, but?Green, he?s not angry at you anymore. Just forgive him already!? Yellow insisted.

?Why should I forgive him?? Green snapped.

?Well,? Yellow said as she nudged to Green a bit. ?We?re married?and I?m having a baby?isn?t that enough for you??

Green fell silent. ?I guess it is absurd?? He muttered. ?Well, okay. Just for you, honey.? He said.

?Thanks, Green? Yellow said then gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

~*~*~*~

The next day, Green left immediately. He felt that the people in the lab would be really angry since none of their calls reached him. He kissed his wife goodbye and waved goodbye to all his friends as he summoned out his Charizard.

?Just call me!? He yelled as he flew past them.

?Boy, that was a short stay,? Red muttered. ?Is he really on the go like that??

Yellow nodded as all of them went inside. ?He?s always hurrying to something. He even wants to put down his job just to be with me for a while, once.?

?Aww, how sweet.? Blue remarked then nudged Silver. ?Why don?t you do something sweet for me like that??

Silver mumbled as they all went inside. However, Gold and Crys were left outside.

?Gold?have you ever though of us?well?having a baby?? Crys asked Gold as they both sat down on the rubbery grass.

?Huh? But then we have to get married, right??

Crys nodded. ?Wouldn?t it be great??

?Crys?I mean?do you really want to get married so soon??

?Gold, I don?t want to be your fianc? for life you know. You asked me to marry you and why don?t we get married?? Crystal snapped at him.

?I?m sorry,? Gold muttered. ?I?m just not thinking ahead.?

?Not thinking ahead, huh?? Crys teased him as she rested her head on his shoulder. ?Or is it the fact that you don?t want to??

?Crys!? Gold muttered. ?They?ll hear you!?

Crys giggled as she held Gold?s hand. ?I?m just kidding! I know what you?re thinking most of the time.? She said as she looked up at Gold. ?Like now??

Gold smiled. ?You sure you know what I?m thinking right now??

?Yeah?you?re thinking ?maybe at home?.?

Gold laughed. ?You guessed that one right!? He stood up and started his way back to the house.

?Gold, wait for me!? She called as she followed him.

~*~*~*~

As the professor?s speech ended, claps filled the air. Green found himself surrounded by dozens of professors like him in Saffron city. He, too, clapped after the professor?s speech. However, he was bored to death while he was listening to it.

The convention was more boring than he thought. Eight hours of listening to hundreds of lectures from city to city. He never knew that it would be this long. As the next professor started, he was using his hand as a support in order to look up straight into the speaker.

~*~*~*~

After a few days Green left, everything seems to be fine at the house. No trouble and not much chores. Well?that was what happened not counting that one day?

That day, Yellow insisted on washing the dishes. Well, she won this time since it was embarrassing for guests to wash their own dishes. As Gold passed by in the kitchen, Yellow called him.

?Uh?Gold?.? She stammered.

?Yep, anything you want me to do, Yellow?? Gold said as he entered the kitchen.

?C?can you call Blue or Crys?quick!?

?Whoa what?s the fuss about?? He muttered as Yellow seems to have screamed the last word.

As Blue entered, Yellow grasped her arm. ?I?I think my water broke??

?You water wha??? Gold questioned her in midst of the panicking confusion.

?She?s gonna have it, you idiot!? Blue yelled as she stormed out of the kitchen. ?Get Red! Hurry! And call Green!?

~*~*~*~

?Red! You were from Pallet town, you know where the hospital is!? Crys yelled as they manage to get Yellow in the backseat.

?Seriously, no! It?s been a long time and they changed the whole place!? Red argued back.

?Just drive! Yellow, just keep breathing, okay?? Crys tried to keep herself calm as Red drove off.

?I?I?ll give directions?? Yellow muttered as she moaned in pain.

?You sure?? Red said as they continued their way to downtown.

?R?right??

Red swerved to the right, his car screeching along the way.

?Red, take it easy! We?re going to die here!? Crys yelled.

Back in the house, the chaos was the same as in the car.

?Call Green? I don?t even know his number!? Silver yelled to Gold.

?Neither do I! We gotta find his number, quick!?

?Called Green yet?? Blue asked the two as she came down the stairs with Steve in her arms.

?Nope, we need his number?and I think I forgot it?? Gold replied.

?Where?s your Pok?Gear?? Blue asked calmly.

Gold searched for his pockets. ?Oh no?I?m sure I left it in here somewhere??

?Gold! You better find that Pok?Gear!? Blue yelled in a threatening tone. ?You, too, Silver!?

The two continued to search the house. And in minutes of fruitless searching, they found it. It was in Gold?s bottom pocket.

?Okay, so what do we do?? Gold muttered as he turned it on with his hands shaking.

?Here, let me have it,? Blue snatched the phone from Gold?s hands. She examined it and dialed Green?s number and waited for an answer.

~*~*~*~

Part 4

Green sat there lazily in the Celadon convention. He has no hope of surviving these boring conventions?or is there?

Out of the silence, his phone rang. He cussed as he took it out and read who was calling. Gold?s name was in the receiver. As the phone continued to ring, everyone started to look at him.

?Uh?sorry?? He said as he opened the Pok?Gear. ?Yeah, what is it?? He muttered.

?Green! This is Blue. Come here quick! She?s having the baby.? Blue yelled from the receiver. More people looked at him as they heard Blue in the receiver.

?She is? That?s great! I?m on my way!? He immediately turned off the phone and leapt up. ?YES!? He yelled. More heads turned to where he stood. ?Oh, sorry?my?my wife is having a baby?? He stammered as he ran out of the doors.

~*~*~*~

?Here!? Red said as he slammed on the breaks. The car screeched as it came to a stop in front of a white building in the middle of downtown Pallet town. ?You help Yellow. I?ll be going in soon.?

Crys nodded as she helped Yellow out of the car. They struggled to walk to the hospital doors. ?Did?did someone call Green?? Yellow said as they went inside.

?All I know is that Gold?s in charge of that?? Crys replied. ?I bet he has already.?

Yellow smiled as nurses helped her this time. Crys was following her.

~*~*~*~

Green came bursting into the hospital door, panting and wheezing.

An extraordinary site greeted him. His own wife, carrying their baby. Their friends who have helped her way to the hospital surrounded her.

?It?s girl!? Gold said as Green approached Yellow.

Yellow smiled weakly as she held their baby. She was sleeping in her arms. She was a beautiful newborn with rosy cheeks and a tuft of yellow hair. Her whole body wrapped in blankets.

Green sighed as he held his own daughter in his hands. He smiled as he looked to his wife who was smiling back.

?Isn?t she cute?? Blue said, smiling. ?She?s gonna be like her mommy!? Yellow laughed as she said the words.

?Have you given her a name yet?? Crys asked the two.

?Well?we were kind of thinking of a name?? Green said as he tried to remember the name.

?Amy, right?? Yellow asked him.

?Yeah, Amy.? Green repeated. ?Oh, and guys. Could you please give us some time together??

Everyone nodded and made their way out of the room. The door was closed and Green was now alone with his wife and his daughter. He kneeled down next to his wife as he gave his daughter to her. They both looked at her as she continued to sleep.

?Look at her?she looks like you.? Green whispered.

Yellow nodded as she sighed. ?We?re one happy family now, huh??

?Yeah?and this time, I?m going to spend a lot of time with you, Yellow.?

?Green? What about your job??

Green smiled. ?Don?t worry about me. I?m going to find a way to spend time with you and do my job at the same time.?

?You promise??

Green nodded. ?I promise.? He moved forward and kissed Yellow to the lips. As they parted, their baby already woke up and was crying. ?Oops, I think you need to take care of her for now. I?m going outside.?

Yellow smiled and nodded as Green opened the door. He went outside to the white corridor where everyone else waited. ?She?s going to need some rest.? He said to his friends.

Gold and Crys were sitting together and seems to be silent themselves. Silver was holding baby Steve with Blue on her side and finally, Red was sitting near the door. Excitement buzzed around them as Green sat with them.

?So Green?how are you going to spend time with your kid?? Gold asked, who was right beside him.

?Dunno?I?m going to have a lot of excuses at the lab?? He muttered. ?And I need rest.? He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling. ?By the way, thanks for taking care of Yellow, guys.?

?Hey, no problem!? Gold smiled.

?Your welcome, Green.? Crystal replied.

?Anything for a friend.? Silver muttered.

?Yeah, what are friends for anyway??

?It?s no biggie. Anything for a guy like you, Green.?

Green smiled as his friends replied one by one. He was happy himself since now that he has a daughter of his own?and now, he?s thinking of spending more time with his wife.

[Lily]

Niko, your writing ability back then makes up your current writing ability. You mustn't demean your skills, past or present, since we will eventually come to learn from them. ^_^ You're a great writer now, and know this: in the future, perhaps you will look back at your teenage years, thinking, I was such a horrible writer! >D

So you see, young tadpole, it does not matter~ Fight! >o<
