(Poké) Pewter City: ...Kanto, eh?

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

...man... Gold, why can't you just stop acting like a fictional blue hedgehog? Silver thought, as he stopped by the doors to the gym, before he turned around to see if they would land... when he spotted someone else headed towards the gym. ...who's he?

[Ninetalesuk]

Then, there was the sound of beating wings...

@gold@

"Oh man... you're getting exhausted?! Land, land!"

@pidgeot@

The Pokemon landed on the ground, panting...

@gold@

He quickly got off...

@pidgeot@

As the Pokemon glowed...

@pidgeotto@

...to revert back as Stage 1. He flumped in Gold's arms, panting...

@gold@

"Pidgeotto, before I check up on you... can I ask you a question... why did you bring us to Kanto?"

@pidgeotto@

He blinked as he glanced around, realising what he just done. He smiled sheepishly...

@gold@

"You paniced, didn't you?" He asked. "No worries... I would have done the same thing..."

With Pidgeotto still in his arms, he started to run. "Come on, let's make a head start to get away from Whitney... can we have a day's rest with her stalking me... how does Sonic the Hedgehog put up with this?!"

However, he noticed the red-haired trainer near the Pewter Gym. "Silver? Is that you? Prof. Elm was looking for you!"

[AnT]

Suddenly, the marshmellow bird slammed right in Gold's path, panting hard.

"Oh no, yuh poor baby!" she gasped, quickly getting off. Aiming her Poké-Ball at it, "Return!" Whitney drew Togekiss into its Poké-Ball. After a deep breath of relief for her Pokemon, Whitney turned to Gold with a sly smirk.

[Ninetalesuk]

@gold@

"MakesureyouphoneProfElmSilverandgoodluckwithyourKantoGymBadge!!!" He said quickly before...

*ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!*

...towards Mt. Moon...

[YolkaEd]

At least, he would have...

@crobat@

...if a Crobat hadn't suddenly grabbed hold of his collar, pulling him back towards Silver and Whitney.



"Sorry, Gold, but I'm really starting to be annoyed by you just running off without even letting me say hello." Silver muttered, as he glanced at Gold whilst his Pokémon pulled him closer. "The least you could do is watch me get the badge; after that, you can run off."

[AnT]

@whitney@ "Y'all mah new best friend!" she happily said to Silver. Grabbing Gold's arm, she pulled him toward the gym. "Lets go watch him."

---

@paul@ In the lobby of the gym, Paul tapped on the desk counter, waiting for someone to fill the vacant desk. "Come on..."

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

"Hm." With a mild sigh, Silver entered the gym as well, though when he entered the lobby, he saw the same person he had seen earlier. ...him again... he thought, as he kept his cool whilst walking towards the same counter.

[Ninetalesuk]

@gold@

He groaned as he was dragged into the Pewter Gym, still holding his Pidgeotto. "Thanks, Silver... your Crobat is pretty fast..."

@pidgeotto@

"Geo..." He panted...

@gold@

"Return..." He muttered, recalling his Pidgeotto. Then, brought out Typhlosion...

@typhlosion@

"Ty?"

@gold@

"Don't say anything..."

@typhlosion@

He snickered.

@gold@

He scowled before noticing the purple-haired trainer at the counter. Huh... guess Silver isn't the only one...

[AnT]

"Sorry about the wait," said a boy around their age, who looked like a younger Brock, walking out of the hall beside the desk. "I'm Forrest, Gym Leader of Pewter City. What can I do for you?"

@paul@ "I'm here for a match," he said, showing his poke-dex.

The boy took a look at it with his squinty eyes, "You're a class B trainer, huh? Wow! Uh, so we should have the B class match?"

@paul@ Paul snatched the dex away. "Just give me the low class match. My newly caught Pokemon needs the training."

"Uh....right...uh, follow me then." he said, walking back to the hall...

@paul@ With Paul following him.

@whitney@ A little pout, Whitney made at Paul's back. "Ah ain't liken' his aura..." Leaning around Gold to look at Silver, "Uh, mind yah wait up a bit?" Whitney gave Gold's arm a tug. "Me 'n Jimmy need to have a talk," With a dangerous 'You better not run' glare at Gold, "Now?"

Whitney dragged Gold outside.

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

"...alright, then..." Silver muttered, as he glanced at Whitney pulling Gold out. ...well, guess I should wait for that guy to finish. he thought, as he stopped by the desk counter, waiting for someone else to show up.

[Ninetalesuk]

@gold@

"What is it?" He asked dryly as he was dragged away... he was getting use to it by now...

@typhlosion@

He followed his trainer...

[AnT]

@whitney@ "What...is it?!" she growled, swinging Gold over to the corner of the gym. "What is it is that ah'm sick of 'yuh chickening away from 'meh like 'ah have a disease or something!"



Meanwhile...



"Alright!" Forrest shouted, since he was far down field from Paul. "We'll use two Pokemon. Once-"

@paul@ "I know the drill," he spoke, tossing up a poke-ball in his hand. Snatching it, Paul pitched it on the field. "Chimchar! Stand by!!"

@chimchar@ The moment a small fire ape formed from energy, on the field, it met with a Geodude, who also formed from energy, on Forrest's side.

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

...hope this won't take long... Silver thought, as he drummed his fingers on the desk counter, still waiting for someone to check in on him.

[Ninetalesuk]

(Collab with AnT)

@gold@

He steadied his hat. "Well, I'm sorry, but I just wanna be on my own sometimes with my Pokemon."

@whitney@

"Sometimes?! Yuh ALWAYS wanna be by yur lonesome, especially when ah'm around!"

@gold@

"Well, that's me... I'm not the social type when it doesn't come to Pokemon or Digimon."

@whitney@

Frowning, Whitney crossed her arms, turning away from him. "Yeah well there's life outside all tha. Ya don't wanna be lahke Red; keeping himself isolated from the world. Ah mean, didn't ya see what he almost become?"

@gold@

"Yes, but it didn't help that Deoxys' DNA is also a part of him..."

@whitney@

"Whatever..." With a deep sigh, knowing that she's out of material, Whitney rubbed her temples. "Look Gold..a-ah...a-ah really...r-really lahke you...b-but..."

@gold@

"But...?" He was trying not to blush red after hearing those words...

@whitney@

"I-It...fine, yah dun wanna have a relationship...y-yet..." she spoke, still afraid to face him, especially with tears dripping out of her eyes. "B-But the least we can do is be friends...ah mean without ya runnin from meh."

@gold@

He frowned. It sounded forced... it made him feel guilty and... "Whitney, I..."

@typhlosion@

He quickly grabbed his trainers' arm and forced into a handshake position...

@gold@

"Typhlosion!!!" He growled.

@whitney@

"Eh?!" Which forced her to show her wet face.

@gold@

He flinced at her wet face. "Um...ye-yeah... we can be friends... until I finally mature..."

@typhlosion@

"Typh!"

@gold@

"What do you mean never?!?"

@whitney@

The girl giggled, with a stuffy nose, while she took Gold's hand and shook it.

@gold@

He sighed in relief. "I'll stop running away.... despite the fact it might be a good exercise..."

@pidgeotto@

"GEO!!!!"

@gold@

He flinched. "Except for him..."

@typhlosion@

He snickered.

@whitney@

"O-Oh...?" she spoke, trying have a little humor in her tone, despite she was still crying. "Y-You wanna have excerise?" Taking Gold's hand, she walked him toward the gym door. "How about the Pokeathon? They just opened it. Maybe ah can take you there someday."

@gold@

"I've heard of that... I want to see that for a while... Sure."

@pidgeotto@

"Geoooooo...."

@gold@

"What are you crying about?"

@whitney@

"N-Nothing...ah always cry," Whitney choked, wiping her eyes. "Yuh should be used to it bah now."

@gold@

"....." He held up Pidgeotto's Poke-ball. "Actually, I was asking him...."

@pidgeotto@

The fact that the Pokeathlon excerise forced him to cry...

@whitney@

"OH!!" with an uneasy grin as they walked inside, Whitney rubbed her head. "Awkwaaaaaard..."

@gold@

He attched the Poke-ball to his belt. "Yeah, very... Oh yeah, you didn't notice what Davis and Ken were doing... wait until I tell you and Silver about this!"

[AnT]

"What are they doing?" she asked as she led Gold back to Silver. "Oh hey there, uh...Silver. The gym leader battlin' that mean looking guy? Lets go watch!"

---

"CHAAARR!!" His back slid against the rocky ground after another blow by Geodude.

Which did not impress Paul one bit. "Get up! Get up and use Brick Break!!"

Struggling up as much as he could, Chimchar sprung at Geodude, smashing his paw right on its head.

"Duuuu..." The rock Pokemon dropped like the rock he is, with a paw imprint on its head.

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

"...alright, why not?" Silver shrugged, as he and the others began walking down the hall. ...I wonder who that guy is, anyway...

[Ninetalesuk]

@gold@

"All right, let's check it out! I wanna see how Brock's little brother does well as a Gym Leader!" He said with a grin.

@typhlosion@

He nodded. "Typh, typh!"

[AnT]

@onix@ "Ga-ROOOOUGH!!!" The giant serpent roared, squeezing the little ape in its rocky tail.

@chimchar@ "C-Chaaaaarrr....!!" With all its might, Chimchar tried to fight against the sheer pressure, but his energy was rapidly leaving it.

@paul@ "Come ON!!!" he shouted, hoping Chimchar will break free. He better...


@whitney@ "Yie..." And Whitney saw that the moment she stepped in the gym. "Fire against rock? Is he yur brother Jimmy?"

[YolkaEd]

@silver@

...does he think he can win against a Rock-type with a Fire-type? Silver thought, as he watched the battle. Unless that Chimchar knows any Fighting or Steel moves, he'll be out and gone...

[Ninetalesuk]

@gold@

"Hey, I don't send Typhlosion out to Rock-types like that!" He snapped. "I would use Water-types like Marshtomp!"

He glanced at Paul, frowning. Still, Fire-types CAN win... with moves Rock and Ground types are wear to...
