I walked over to my teammates, having found an interesting bit of information. "Look at this." I tapped on Lucario's to get his attention. "This trainer. Red. The champion. He must be powerful."

"Why do you say that?" Lucario answered, his attention now fully focused on me.

"He battled and defeated Mewtwo, captured him, then released him later. He is a powerful trainer, and he has a pure heart. He can help us." I pulled out a map of Kanto and searched it.

"Here. If we continue to Diglett's Cave, we can backtrack to Route 28 and be at Mt. Silver in no time at all." I nodded and rounded up my three partners.

"To Diglett's Cave it is, then."

I sighed as yet another Diglett popped out of the ground. Now I really wished I had gone into town to get supplies-and more than a few Repels. It was like the Diglett version of Mt. Moon! Yet still, going through the dark, damp, and soil-filled cave was more desirable than going the long way around, so our tired and annoyed group trudged on, only to have another three Diglett reveal themselves.
"That is it! I'm going to kill the next Diglett I see!" I almost laughed at Lucario's reaction, but kept a even the faintest hint of a grin from my countenance as I spoke to him.
"Peace, Lucario. Remember, we are the ones on their  territory, not the other way around." The fiery aura that had surrounded Lucario faded, and he sighed.

"I know this is their territory, but that doesn't mean that they have to pop out in front of me every other second."
At this I cracked a small grin, but it was gone just as soon as it had appeared.

"You have no reason to complain anymore, Lucario, because there's the ladder out." Gallade pointed out. Just as Lucario was about to jump onto the ladder to get out of there, a Dugtrio popped its three heads up above the tunnel floor, right in front of him.

"I SWEAR-"

When we finally reached Route 28, Gallade and Absol both were teasing Lucario about how easily the Diglett had annoyed him. Lucario, having given up explaining himself long before, simply stayed silent. I was silently grinning my hardest at the entire situation.

Eventually, I decided Absol and Gallade had had their fun, and besides, it was getting annoying at this point. "Okay, Gallade, Absol, you've had your fun. Leave the poor Pokémon alone."

"But teasing him is fun." Gallade pouted, but I glared him down. He mumbled a few incoherent words and dropped to the back of the group, but not before flicking Lucario on the elbow.

I had gone into Viridian City to get supplies for our ascent to Silver Cave, getting specialized Pokémon boots for the three that traveled with me, then got a canine blanket for Absol and cloaks for myself, Gallade, and Lucario.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Gallade and Lucario, duking it out big time. I sighed and ran over as quickly as I could.
"Oh, no, Lucario! A Diglett! How awful! Oh, help me!" Gallade taunted, dodging every one of Lucario's rage-filled swings.
"Shut UP, you PRICK!" Lucario was beyond pissed. I was surprised the Pokémon could hold that much anger and sustain it as well. Before Lucario could land another strike. I caught his fist and stared him straight in his crimson eyes.

"I honestly thought better of you, Lucario. Fighting over such a petty thing like children!" I shook my head. "Do not speak to Gallade for the rest of the day. Understand?" He nodded and I released him. I heard Gallade snickering behind me and whipped around. "Don't think that you are getting off the hook, Gallade. I know you were the antagonist, and do not try to deny it. You are going to wear a dunce hat the entire way up Mt. Silver, and you are not getting out of it."

"But why? This is Pokémon abuse! Cruel and unusual punishment! Pol-!"
He kept trying to yell until he found that no sound was being generated."You,"
I almost smirked, but held a straight face. "Will also be silent."
Lucario clearly couldn't hold a stoic face, as he burst into laughter, doubling over.

YEAH PAGE BREAK!

It had been a few days, as we had to wait a few days for a snowstorm to pass. Now, we were making our long and roundabout trek up the mountain, Gallade still trying to talk through my... er... slighly altered Disable. Absol just trudged along, a lot clearly on his mind as we carved a path through the snow of Mt. Silver.

"Anything you want to talk about, Absol?" He jumped back, as if struck, and for a second I swore I had seen a look of guilt on his face, but it disappeared before I could be sure. he pushed his eyebrows together and shook his head. I shrugged it off as nothing, and we continued up the snowy mount.

I need help. No more page breaks, NO MORE!!

A few hours later, we had finally reached the apex of Mt. Silver. The cave loomed ahead of us, and I could tell the others were intimidated.
"Lucario, light." He summoned a small ball of aura and led the way into Silver Cave. As we walked in, I noticed a warm light coming from the back of the cave. I gesture for Lucario to get behind me. Although this was Red's last known location, any number of terrible things could have occured, so I was cautious.

Suddenly, a massive, battle-scarred Charizard appeared in front of us, completely obscuring the cave entrance and causing both Gallade and Absol to scatter. Its roar was like that of a thousand armies, charging to war. Lucario charges an Aura Sphere while I began the biggest Surf I could muster. Out of the cave, a voice sounded.

"Stand down, Scorcher, they are no threat." A voice emanated from the back of the cave as I strained to see the speaker in the relative dark.

I soon walked into a large chamber, Gallade, Lucario, and Absol in tow, and immediately saw the large and battle-scarred Charizard, curled around something in front of it.

"Are you the trainer Red?" I asked, wary of the answer. A figure rose from in front of the fire/flying type and looked us over.

He was dressed in a red vest over a white shirt, with jeans, sneakers, and a red and white hat. "I am the champion, and my name is Red... I don't suppose you speak of me?"
