Chapter 05
Through Those Memories
The Sky and Sea
"I am called Red because I bring forth warmth from within," Satoshi said once he chose Charmander. "Like the summer Sun, I wish to shine bright as I bring warmth to others."
Green smiled at the memory. Red was always like a girl; he was too kind, smiling so brightly to everyone as he ran down the street he greeted them. Everyone knew Red by his black hair, uniquely red eyes and his scrawny frame. They knew each other since they were babies and walked with each other to school and back home. They didn't go to a trainer's school since both of their parents said they should learn from experience.
Red was indeed, the Summer's Sun on the cold winter day.
He even looks like a girl too, Green thought. He then sighed, he knew he would never beat Red since the beginning. His childish side wouldn't accept that fact and challenged him in everything.
The brunet stared at the ceiling of his bedroom. The bed was too big, it felt too spacious. His room back in Pallet Town consisted no more than his PC, bed, book rack and closet. This room that was given to him was five to seven times bigger. He tossed and turned around the bed, it just didn't felt right. Maybe he should stay up a little while longer.
Green kicked his legs to the side of his bed. His eyes met with a box on his side table. The rival leaned to reach the said box, opening it as he got his hands on the cardboard material. Inside was something special. It was from ten years ago, now that he mentioned it he was the one who acted like a girl. Keeping a gift from ten years ago... Haha..
"As long as that Moon Stone is in your hands, don't you dare forget about me!" Six year old Green shouted to Red. The raven haired boy tilted his head and stared at the Moon Stone that Geen had given to him. Red looked at him and said with an eyes closed smile;
"Un!"
"You were adorable," Green muttered, staring at the Sun Stone inside the box.

There's a reason why champions distance themselves away from others. That reason was because of their duties as champions. Their duty was to protect their region from all evil and it was no easy task. From raging pokemon to sealing dark matter. All of them had to do their work one way or another.
Each of them had different ways to do it. Ruby, however, was unique. Though the most of them had sealed dark matter from the surface, Ruby did it most of it under water.
Ruby had his eyes snapped open, sitting down quickly. Currently they were using Red's pokemon for transport so his' were resting. Black, who was unexpectedly awake, looked at the Hoenn champion. "Is something the matter Brendan?"
Diamond sat up followed by the rest.
"Dark matter," Ruby muttered. He stood and looked down. "Just right below us."
"You can't be serious. Jumping from this distance will feel like falling on concrete," Gold said.
"For normal people and us, it will," Diamond said.
"But I'm different," Ruby told. He faced the other four champions. "The water is my domain."
"Red?" Gold asked the oldest amongst all of them.
The red eyed boy laid down again, going back to sleep. "Just do it. Be back before in half an hour."
Ruby smirked and gave a salute, leaning backwards, free falling heading towards the water under them.
The sky and sea were his domain. The land in between was where the others conquer. And no one in this world could do what he could. After all, not everyone in this world could breathe under water.
The ruby eyed teen smiled as he recited something he was told when he became a champion.
Be not defeated by the rain,
Be not defeated by the wind,
Nor by the iron pipe,
Nor by the knife,
Not by the metal bat,
Be the sound of body,
Be without desire,
Never be angered.
Ruby smiled and placed his hands on his chest.
Always have a quiet smile.
His mind then flashed the image of Wally and his eyes widen. There was a throbbing pain again, inside his head. He closed his eyes and smiled quietly, tears began to form.
No matter what.

Wally couldn't sleep. Well, he was sleeping until there was a shock that woke him up. He grabbed tight on to his blanket. Ruby, that was what on his mind. It was like a shock through his body, he bolted up right away, panting heavily, heart pounding like crazy. Wally groaned and buried his face into his hands.
He had dreams about Ruby recently. Actually his dreams were all about Ruby jumping off a cliff and falling from the sky, only to drown in a lake or ocean. Wally could only watch it over and over again. He couldn't do anything in those dreams, he always stood there on the water as Ruby dived in. This time it was the sky. And he was crying too. He cried with a smile on his face.
Wally felt a tug on his hand. He looked at his pinky finger, there was a cut. The green haired boy began to suck on his finger and take it out. What could've cut him?
A jade string then began to appear on his pinky, the string was glowing in the moonlight. Then end of the string was probably endless. The boy tilted his head and observed. What in the world was that string? The curious boy lifted his hand and checked the jade coloured string if it was real or not.
The green haired boy wrapped the string around his hand, holding it tightly and had no intention of letting it go.

Somewhere in the school area, a figure smiled as he sensed something had happened. The headmaster stared at the dark night, wondering when will the champions come. They had to do their job of sealing dark matter so it made sense why they were late.
The man sighed, inviting the champions were risky but inviting two heads of two of the most dangerous groups were a bigger risk. It would easily be considered as a mistake to invite the boss of Team Rocket and king of Team Plasma, but nonetheless they were all just children. Both teams had died down from world domination anyways so it was a green light.
On the headmaster's table, a framed picture of a man and a boy was placed.
"Hurry up, will you Lucas?"
