Hi. I'm Red. You can find me on Mt. Silver or at my Mom's house. Associated with PT

It's cool up here.

[red-sama-blog]

You should really take a short vacation, Crystal. It will only do you good. Other than that, I completely understand. That’s how I felt when Oak handed me a Pokedex and told me to fill it when I was just a boy. That man ..

And back at you. You’re a friend of mine as well, and I enjoy seeing you. I will defiantly let you know when I want to see you again. But when I do, if you’re not well rested enough, then forget about it, alright? Haha! I just want to see you at 100%.

[crysthecatcher-blog]

Ah, maybe I will. After all, school doesn’t start for another month, so maybe that can do a trick… But alright then, I suppose it’s a promise? I’ll make sure to be well rested when you come visit.

You’re very sweet you know that? Thank you. I’m going to go rest in fact, so have a good night okay?

[red-sama-blog]

Sweet? You've told me that before. A long, long time ago. Thank you. Because of you, I'm actually starting to believe it. 

You sleep well, too. I wouldn't want you to be tired tomorrow.

Leaf hadn’t bothered asking him at the time, but she couldn’t help but wonder how Green had managed to lose his gym. Did he lose a bet? Was it a challenge? Did the League strip him of his privileges? She’d essentially ruled out him giving it up, but maybe… 

“Eh?” She liked the sound of that plan so far. It’d certainly be nice to have the four of them together again! Still, she doubted the possibility of it actually happening. “I don’t know. Fire just got there — he won’t be too keen on coming back so soon. We could ask, though. It’s worth a try, if nothing else.”

Red frowned.

He wasn't about to let Fire ruin a perfect idea because he just got up to the mountain. Friends are friends and they are supposed to have each other's back! Besides, no one liked to see a gym lost. Unless, Green really wanted to do it. For some reason Red doubted that .. Green loves to take charge and show off his Pokemons strength in a battle.. Why would he give it up like that?

"I'll drag Fire down by the collar if I have to." Red finally said half serious, half jokingly. That's all he really wanted to say on the matter. He didn't want to worry Leaf anymore than she had been already, so with a big sigh, Red added,"We'll figure this out. In the meantime, tell me how you've been."

[red-sama-blog]

You seem a bit nervous all of a sudden. Are you alright, Crystal? Still feeling well..?

If you don’t want to spend time, then I understand completely. I’m not the best company to have around since I’m not much of a talker. You can tell me, y’know. 

[crysthecatcher-blog]

Oh gosh, no, I am, I’m just sorry Red. I guess I’m just a little fidgety. I’ve been working a lot lately so I might be a little off hinges I guess.

I have no issue spending time with you Red, I really don’t. You’re one of my friends and I sincerely mean that. Sorry if you got the wrong idea, really. Like I said before, if you ever want to hang out, just say the word. [She smiles at him.]

[She laughed a bit nervously at Red’s description of Leaf then sudden shift on humanity.] Yeah, she’s a great person. If it wasn’t for her actually, I probably would have stayed hidden for much longer a year ago. Who knows.

Ah, but uh? Maybe! Not that last time wasn’t fun but… well, I guess I’ll have to see? I mean I work so… But if anything, just tell me ahead of time and I should be able to, yeah!

…No, I’m sorry, that was a little strange but yeah um, any time you want to hang out just tell me, okay?

Leaf would always let herself in, Red knew that. So after they hung up their call, Red dashed off to his bedroom to grab a shirt and make in back in time to make it look like he had been waiting on his couch the entire time for her. 

“Hey there, Leaf.” Red smiled and stood from the couch, making his way around the glass table to greet his bestfriend with a quick hug. It felt like awhile since they’ve seen each other, and really it was a shame that they were neighbours and hardly saw or heard from each other. That didn’t matter now, though. Red was going to enjoy the time he was going to spend with her.

“So, I guess you heard about Green’s gym, huh?”

[helloleaf-blog]

Any of the others would have seen through Red’s careful posing, but Leaf was oblivious and noticed nothing. The only thing she saw was one of her best and oldest friends, and that was more than enough for her. “Red!” She chirped. It really was nice to see him again, and yes, it was nice to hug him again because despite being on that mountain half the time, he is really warm. Maybe that’s how he survives up there?

Ah, but then he brought up the gym. “I heard about it, but that’s all.” She said simply. “What happened? He didn’t do something stupid, did he?”

What a silly question — of course he did.

[red-sama-blog]

Red took a step back and crossed his arms. Maybe it was a good thing that Leaf didn't notice it because the black shirt Red grabbed happened to be wrinkled in several spots and he certainly wasn't on his A game tonight.

Green constantly did stupid things, but something as stupid as losing the gym? Red didn't think it was possible. However he did it, and however stupid it was Green still remained their friend,"I honestly have no idea, Leaf. I'm trying to figure it out too."

And as friends of Green, Red sprouted a sudden idea that could make the situation a little lighter. It was a long shot. A very long shot, but it was worth a try.

"Leaf, what if Fire came back down here for a week or so, and I stay here to figure out how to save Green's gym? It could work if we plan accordingly.."

[red-sama-blog]

I guess you could say that. I’ve just been up there for so long that it’s a part of me now. I’m glad that Fire comes up too. It isn’t as lonely as it used to be. Now, I get have the same boring conversations almost everyday. Hah!

I’ll tell her you said hello. You guys are pretty close too, right?

[crysthecatcher-blog]

[… Fire goes up there too? That’s a little odd, Crystal thought to herself, simply nodding.] Well, at least it’s not terribly lonely?

Ah, thank you! Yes, I consider her to be one of my best friends. I sometimes worry about her even though I know she can care for herself but I don’t know, I can’t help it I guess. Thanks again.

[red-sama-blog]

Leaf is a bit ...

airheaded at times.

That's why we love her, right? She's such a smart girl though. Leaf really takes care of all her friends. It's nice to see someone who actually is real. Maybe there is hope for humanity afterall. 

Hey, maybe after I settle up on the mountain, we can hang out again? Just like last time. That was fun.

[helloleaf-blog]

It’s a short walk from Leaf’s house to Red’s, but she tries to make it last as long as possible. She really has been out of the loop lately, and now she’s paying for it. Jeez… things would be so much easier if she didn’t keep herself so busy. It’s summer…! Maybe she ought to lighten her load a bit, at least for now. She’d still be too late to spend a lot of time with Red and Fire, but there were plenty of others around. Green and Crys and Sapphire… she wasn’t too late for them, and she’d make sure she wouldn’t be!

Even though she’d tried to linger she arrives on Red’s doorstep within a minute or two, but already she’s feeling considerably lighter. She’s made a plan and she’s sticking to it! It shouldn’t be hard, especially now the she knows she won’t have to battle Green… whoops. Well, that was his thing to worry about, not hers! Er, sort of.

Anyway, that wasn’t important. What was important was getting to spend a little time with Red before he set off for that stupid mountain again. What the two of them liked about that hunk of rock so much she didn’t know, but she really despised it sometimes. Still, if it made them happy… she sighs. Gotta snap out of it! She knocks on the door quickly, but let’s face it: the Pallet Town kids are all close enough that they tend to feel right at home in each other’s homes, and so Leaf lets herself in.

“Hello? Red? Reee~eeeeed!”

[red-sama-blog]

 You really do consider that mountain your home? I suppose you just got really used to living up there, huh?

Oh well, if you do see Leaf, tell her I said hi for me? I’d appreciate it.

.... What an idiot.

[red-sama-blog]

Jeeze.

I’m alright, Red. Curious about why you choose to live on that god forsaken mountain, but alright. How are you? 

How many times do I have to exp--

I'm not going to bother with it tonight. I'll tell you another day, again, why I choose to live up there. I'm just glad to see you're doing alright minus the loss of your gym.

I'm also doing fine. Waiting on Leaf to bid me a nice goodbye before I leave.

[red-sama-blog]

It’s just I wouldn’t want to bother you, Leaf. You seem so busy lately and .. maybe that’s just me over-thinking it, really. I’m sorry that I thought you didn’t care. I’ll know for next time to tell you.

If you’d like, then please come over because I know I’ll miss you too. It’d be nice to see you before I go. 

[helloleaf-blog]

I have been busy lately, but I’m never too busy for my friends! I try not to be, anyway…

I’ll be over in a few minutes, okay? I’ve just got to, uh. Take care of something here…

[red-sama-blog]

I'll be waiting here. 

See you soon.

[red-sama-blog]

crysthecatcher replied to your post: Hello Red. Have you’ve been taking care of yourself?

Oh, I’ve been fine. I’m actually back in Johto for the time being. Some of us get home sick, right?

That's good to hear.

I know what you mean. Although Pallet Town is where I grew up, I'm missing my home. Meaning the mountain. Nothing beats the stillness and silence. 

So, I'm going tomorrow morning. I think Leaf is coming over tonight. 

[red-sama-blog]

You didn’t think… that kinda hurts, Red.

I was kinda hoping since it’s your last night at home… could I come say goodbye at least? I know I didn’t get to see you much this time, but I’ll still miss you…

Hello Red. Have you've been taking care of yourself?

I have been. 

Thank you for asking. 

And how have you been?

[red-sama-blog]

Pikachus gone? Need any help, Red?

Gee, I would love your help, but I've already found him.

Thanks for paying attention to my life.

[red-sama-blog]

helloleaf replied to your post: .... What an idiot.

YOU TOO?

L-Leaf..!!

Well, yeah. I've been here for too long and I miss the snow capped mountain more than anything. I'm leaving tomorrow morning anyway. I just want to spend tonight at home. Too .. lazy to move right now.

I'm sorry. I didn't really think you cared. Next time, I'll tell you.

Promise.

[red-sama-blog]

.... What an idiot.

Oh well..

I found Pikachu and I’m heading back to the mountain, again.

I sense a disturbance. 

[o-k-i-d-o]

Really? 

[red-sama-blog]

Hm..?

I didn't say your name or anything, Green. Don't get so defense, haha!!

Haaa.. Erm, how are you?
