Purple was looking through his notebook as the quad was discussing how Hoenn might be. He gulped.

"Ok... I'm ready." They nodded as he shuddered. He was still uncertain about this. But he didn't want to be left behind. He took a shaky breath. "I have several different teams, all in which are for the forms that I have. T-this page explains them..." He passed the notebook over and rubbed his face. After a moment, Red handed it back.

"So how many evil teams did you piss off?" He rubbed his head sheepishly.

"My mom and grandma did a little more than me, but any that I crossed paths with recently I would say I pissed off." The group laughed at that. Blue went to the side and frowned.

"We're here."

~~~

The region wasn't terrible, but it was clear who was still on what side. A chant filled the air upon them landing.

"Scars that hold me down, flash with your pride and end the storm! DESOLATE LAND!"

The clouds split instantly as the sun roared its light down. A hiss followed as the land started healing from the damage.

"IS THAT A CHALLENGE, PETTY BRAT!" Sapphire's loud voice cut through the air. Red grabbed his ears as another voice joined her.

"YOU'RE GOING DOWN! GET BACK OVER HERE!" A laugh followed Emerald's voice as the duo went into the air. Troppy's large form appeared in the air as they looked around. But they didn't stay long in the air as an explosion hit one of the large wings.

"You have to find me first!" A voice appeared above them. The five Dexters looked up to see a Staraptor landed on the ground beside them. Ruby chuckled as him and his parents got off. His mom looked over as Troppy landed.

"Bullseye! Nice job." He smiled as he looked at his bow that sat on his arm.

"I might have to get a hold of one of the other weapon members to check this guy's aim. I thought I was going to miss that." Norman chuckled.

"You did better than me." Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"Dad, you don't shoot. In fact, you don't fight like we do." Norman shrugged.

"I tried once. I can't keep up. Which is why I would rather let my Pokemon do all the talking." Ruby snickered as he pulled out a knife.

"We got incoming. You want to do evact while the two of us deal with the duo?" Norman hummed as his eyes drifted to the five Dexters.

"You've got company. I'm sure me and your mom can find a way to deal with them until you can open up." Ruby followed his gaze and smiled.

"Thanks." He went over and immediately hugged Blue. She returned it with a grin.

"I'm glad you're ok." He pulled away with a grin.

"Same here. I thought I was the only one..." Purple smiled.

"Same here. I'm sure Holon and Torren will be difficult because of the tension." Ruby smiled lightly before the two juniors hugged each other. Red grinned before noticing the battle as it heated up. Norman was on the ground while Ruby's mom did some damage.

"MOON OF THE NILE!"

The duo yelped as they were sent into trees. A grin crossed her face as she looked at Ruby.

"Get over here and deal with your girlfriend." His face went red at that. He didn't even try to make a comeback as she sent a playful smile and pulled out a knife. Magic encased it as she eyed the duo. Ruby narrowed his eyes.

"You're not taking all the fun. Not happening." He spun the knife in his hands as he ran over to her. Magic flowed between them as they casted.

"HEAVEN ORACLE!"

A golden light circled the duo as they sent it at the other two. Emerald was lucky to be a blade because he was able to put up a barrier. Ruby winced. Blue pulled out her wand and sent an attack at the bitter duo after Emerald dropped the barrier. Sapphire was grabbed by the root that was sent while Emerald was sent flying.

"You two good?" The mother and son nodded as Blue looked up at Sapphire. She simply huffed as she slipped out of the root's grasps and raced over to Emerald. With a quick motion, she picked him up and bolted away from the fight. Ruby sighed.

"Thank Arceus..." Purple glanced up quickly before looking at the Hoenn wave. Green noticed this and raised an eyebrow.

"Waiting to be struck by lightning?" Purple shot a glare at him.

"I'm making sure it doesn't come and take my life like it nearly did in Torren. I would like to live, thank you very much." Blue hummed.

"Why don't you like it?" Purple looked away.

"That's for another time." He mumbled. Blue sighed as she turned to her junior.

"Is there somewhere we can talk in private?" Ruby looked at his parents.

"Hold that thought..." He went over and talked to them. Norman said something that got an agreement from the other two. Ruby went back over and Blue sighed.

"You're still not showing the base?"

"Safety reasons this time. I don't want anyone else in the group to give us up or let the duo walk in on us. We're heading for my dad's gym instead. We can't risk any of the bases." The group nodded as they followed him.

~~~

They arrived at Petalburg City and went over to the gym. Norman quickly locked the door and sighed as Sapphire landed outside.

"At least I know one of you won't backstab me." Green smiled as the others tried to make a comeback. "Hey, I'm not going to be the one that backstabs the toughest gym leader in Kanto. I'll pass." Red frowned.

"Who says I'm any easier?"

"Me." Yellow said quietly. The other three backed away. "It was one battle!"

"Yeah? I can still see their poor souls afterwards!" Green said while they backed against the wall. The others busted out laughing.

"Yellow, you're going to give people a heart attack if you keep this up." She hissed at the junior wave.

"Watch it. You'll be next." He gulped nervously.

"No thanks." She smiled as she looked at Purple with a nod. He went over to the trio and showed them the page.

"You guys wouldn't happen to know where this is would you? The Tempête d'aile élégante?" Norman shook his head while Ruby opened his bag.

"I thought I did-" He stopped as his mother held it up.

"I always hold it. Bring it on." He paused before a chuckle escaped him.

"You stole it from me. You sly lady." She smiled as she placed it in his hands.

"I know. But you have to turn on your A game." He scoffed before twisting it in his hands.

"Uncalled for if you ask me." He mumbled lightly under his breath. She smirked before looking at Purple.

"Why are you guys looking for it?" Red laughed rather nervously.

"I'm going to assume you guys haven't gotten the message." Ruby raised an eyebrow as Purple sighed. Smoke drifted over and held out a note to Ruby, who took it with a frown.

"Red got that this morning when the tides started turning." Ruby looked at it and looked at Red.

"Don't tell me-"

"I only know Gold's on the other side." Red said grimly. "Anyone else is a mystery. You're looking at the current allies." Ruby gulped nervously at that.

"No..." He gulped. "This isn't for-"

"No." Purple cut him off. "This'll be to fight them when the time comes. But that's if you're in." Ruby nodded.

"Anything for my teammates. It'll leave Hoenn in the hands of the other two, but they can handle them. I'm getting attacked more." Red nodded.

"Then it's best you come with us. That'll put the region at ease until we end this crisis." Ruby nodded before turning to his parents. They quickly embraced each other. They quickly discussed something before Ruby went and grabbed his stuff. They took off as Sapphire noticed them.

"GET BACK HERE!" Red grabbed his ears.

"Ruby, tell your girlfriend to turn her volume down. I can't think straight when she does that." Ruby's face turned a crimson for a moment.

"One, stop saying that. Two, I'm not getting into another battle with her." Purple hummed softly.

"Then allow me to throw her off." They turned to see the flame in the air. Smoke wrapped around Purple as he casted.

"SMOKE SHIRLEY! SILENTARYMINAE! AQUALINK!"

The smoke turned blue as a stream of water raced through the air at her. Sapphire almost didn't dodge it. It hit Troppy's wing and the large Pokemon went to land. She hissed at them as Green picked up speed. Purple grinned.

"Nice." Ruby said with a slow clap. Purple's face warmed up with embarrassment at that.

"Thanks..." Blue hummed.

"Since we have Ruby here, we'll be able to do this a little smoother." Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?" Ruby asked as Red giggled.

"Purple's behind with the information. Remember?" Ruby paused before realization hit him.

"Oh..." He sighed. "Alright. I'll work with that." Green smiled.

"Good. You'll be the first junior to get information from Purple. He's giving us information after we give him information about each region." Ruby nodded as they headed for Sinnoh.
