[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Disclaimer: Believe you me, I don't own Pokemon even though I have Red through Crystal and so on. If I did, Silver and Gold would be in the fricken anime along with Blue (the girl) and Yellow. Yeah, anyway I own the idea, my versions of Silver (rival) and Gold (hero), Tenshi (she comes later) and other stuff that doesn't belong to Nintendo or anybody else. So NO SUING!
Warnings: Now: OOCness, swearing Later: Yaoi and a whole lot of other stuff.
Gold stared at the twisted body of water that lead off to the Indigo Plateau. It had been six years since that fateful day. Six long, silent, painful years since he had seen or heard anything about his best friend. Now fourteen years old, the raven-haired boy's appearance had changed quite a bit.
His hair which used to not even reach his shoulders, brushed against the small of his back. However most of the time it was tucked under his black and yellow backwards cap, giving the appearance that it was short. He left his white/red short-sleeved jacket open revealing the black t-shirt he had underneath. Yellow/black shorts barely hid the fact that his legs were long slender and pale. But what really captured everyone's attention, were his eyes.
They were still big, showing off the innocence he still had inside but at the same time they held many things he had learned over the past years. They were a shimmering golden-yellow color, while the pupils were narrowed into slits, which constantly reminded people of cat's eyes.
A long sigh escaped his lips as he spun his cap around and tugged the brim over his eyes. 'Silver… I miss you.' A lone tear trickled down his cheek. A wry smile came onto his lips 'Damnit… you're not even here and you're making me cry.'
"Gold! I need you to come inside!" His mother called. Gold quickly rubbed any other tears away before he stood, "Okay!" He called tonelessly before he started the trek home. Once he got there he waited until his mother came into the room.
"What is it?" he looked up at her. "Professor Elm called you, says he wanted to talk to you about your journey." She said softly. "Oh, right, great." He sighed. "Isn't this what you wanted, sweetie? You'll finally be able to look for him." He smiled slightly, "Yeah, I know, it is. Don't worry. I'm just tired." "Another nightmare?" she asked worriedly. Gold stiffened slightly but nodded silently. "Don't worry, I'm sure he's perfectly fine." She assured him, handing him his pokegear. "Yeah." He reached up and pecked his mother's cheek before leaving with a small wave.
He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking around his hometown as he walked to Professor Elm's lab. He started when he saw a flash of red from the corner of his eye but when he turned to look, nothing was there. Sighing, he shook his head to clear it and went inside the lab. "Anybody here?" he called out.
"Ah Gold, I've been expecting you!" Elm said, smiling warmly at the boy. Gold gave a slight smile in return. "Finally ready to leave on your journey, huh?" The professor continued. Gold nodded slowly, "Yeah. Here's to hoping it'll be a good one." "Here here!" Elm chuckled before holding out a black and red ball. "This is a custom ball I've been saving for you. I like to call it the lava ball. If a fire pokemon resides in it, its power will increase significantly. Gold reached out and took the ball, a ghost of a smile flickering across his lips. "Thank you professor."
"You're welcome but let's not stop there. You still have to choose your starter pokemon!" Elm said with a grin. Gold already knew which one he wanted. "If you still have Cynder, I'd like him to come with me." "Of course! I still find it amusing that he only listens to you." The professor went to the back of the lab before coming back, holding a red and white pokeball.
The pokemon inside was released, revealing a smaller than normal cyndaquil. Gold had given him the nickname Cynder when they had first met a couple years back. Even though he was small, he could still cause terrible burns, just like real cinders. The fire mouse pokemon looked around before spotting Gold and tackling him to the ground. Gold chuckled softly, sitting up. "Hey buddy, missed you but now it's finally time." Cynder perked and Gold found himself once again on the ground, getting nuzzled to death.
Finally able to stand, Gold was handed Cynder's pokeball before a chime on Elm's computer caught both their attentions. Elm went over to it and skimmed through the e-mail he had just received. "Seems Mr. Pokemon made a new discovery. He claims this one is really real." He looked back at Gold. "I hate to ask, but could you check it out for me?" "Sure, why not. He's on the way to Violet city anyway, shouldn't take too long." Gold smiled. Elm thanked him and soon he was off, momentarily stopped by the professor's assistant and handed a potion. He left the lab and sighed. This was it. He was finally leaving on his journey.
'Look out world, cause here I come!'
