Opposites Attract

[Shadow Fire]

Okay, the idea for this roleplay came from another roleplay (of the same sorta style) that CrimsonWings and I did on MSN/YIM a while back. It pairs Ethan (the protagonist of the Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver games) with Silver (the antagonist, later turned respectful trainer of the same games). If you don't like boys being in love with other boys, then don't read. Okay, time to start.

 

It was 3 in the morning in New Bark Town when the outsider arrived. Glancing around, he made a dash towards the Pokemon Laboratory owned and operated by Professor Elm. Heading around the side, he peered in the window, but couldn't see a thing.

 

'This is it... I just need to wait for my chance. I need to see that they're really there. I'd better get a little rest first though.'

 

Turning his back to the wall, the boy sat down on the grass, bowing his head and closing his eyes.

 

'Don't mess this up, Silver... I'll show everyone...'

[CorruptedMoon]

Later in the not-so-unarceusly hours of the morning, a raven haired teen awoke with a yawn and a stretch. Turning to face his alarm which was ringing shrilly, his amber-colored eyes became alert at the sight of the time. Jumping out of bed, he hurriedly got dressed. 'That was close! I'm almost late!' he thought.

 

"Ethan! Are you awake!" His mother called. "Yeah Mom!" Ethan replied distractedly as he pulled his cap on.'Today's the day!' he thought with a grin.

[Shadow Fire]

The hours had passed by, and Silver awoke. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he blinked a bit, before standing up and peering through the window again. This time, what he saw made him grin.

 

"Soon..." he muttered to himself. "Very soon."

 

The boy ran a hand through his long red hair and listened to the sounds around him.

 

'I can hardly wait...'

[CorruptedMoon]

After finishing his talk with his mother about the world, Ethan finally left the house and put his hands behind his head. 'I wonder what Professor Elm wanted to talk about.' He mused mentally as he headed to the lab. He shrugged, 'Guess I'll find out soon.'

[Shadow Fire]

Continuing to peek through the window, Silver watched as another boy entered the lab, and exchanged dialogue with the professor.

 

"Damn..." he muttered to himself. "I wish I knew what they were talking about..."

[CorruptedMoon]

Nodding after the professor finished speaking, Ethan looked thoughtfully over the three pokeballs on the table. All he had to do now was choose. He smiled, knowing exactly which one he wanted. "This one!" The ball opened and out popped the fire mouse pokemon, Cyndaquil.

 

"So you want Cyndaquil, the fire type?" Elm asked him. Ethan nodded, smiling brightly. "Uh-huh!"

[Shadow Fire]

Watching with interest, Silver's eyes widened as he saw one of three rare Pokemon appear from the Monster Ball.

 

'I've heard stories, and I was taking a risk, but I still can't believe the stories are true! There's more types than what are in Kanto. I must have one for myself! Now, I just need the right chance.'

[CorruptedMoon]

"I'm going to call you Cynder!" Ethan said brightly to the happily squeaking starter. "Be careful out there Ethan." Elm warned him even though he was smiling at the enthusiastic trainer. "Even with a pokemon, the world can be dangerous." "Don't worry professor! I'll be careful." Ethan promised with Cynder squeaking in agreement. "Cynda!" "Right then. So about the errand." The professor started and Ethan nodded. "I want you to go to Mr. Pokemon and see what his new discovery is. I'd go myself but..." He trailed off. "Okay then! We'll be back before you know it!" Ethan promised before rushing out of the lab.

[Shadow Fire]

Silver pressed himself against the wall and peered out at the boy who was rushing off. He watched the boy disappear into the distance, before smirking to himself.

 

'Okay... in a half hour, I'll strike... and those Pokemon will be mine.'

[CorruptedMoon]

-Fast Forwarding just a little-

 

"Phew! Finally I can get back to New Bark Town!" Ethan said as he and Cynder gazed at the egg in the boy's hands. It was warm and if his was very quiet, he could hear the tiniest of sounds coming from it. "Professor Elm is gonna love this." He jumped when his pokegear went off. "What the?"

[Shadow Fire]

Silver ran as far as his legs would take him, giving a sinister smirk. A Monster Ball was clutched tightly in his left hand.

 

'Finally... I have a rare Pokemon of my own. Soon, I'll show everyone just how powerful I can be. I'll prove that I am better than you... father...'

 

Hiding nearby, the red-haired boy caught his breath for a moment, before staring at the red/white object in his hand.

 

"This Pokemon..." he muttered. "They called it a... Totodile..."

 

Meanwhile, Professor Elm was frantic, calling Ethan to let him know that something terrible had happened and that he should return quickly.

 

"H-how can this happen?" Elm whimpered after ending the call. "How could someone steal a Pokemon like that?"

[CorruptedMoon]

Ethan frowned. What was so terrible that got Professor Elm in such a frenzy? He didn't know,. but he was going to find out. With that thought in mind, he rushed off, unaware that his life would soon change forever.

 

OOC: That was a corny end for the post. >.>

[Shadow Fire]

OFF TOPIC:

Corny endings are corny. =P

 

Silver had just made it to Cherrygrove City, when he saw the dark-haired boy from New Bark Town. A smirk came over his lips as he quickly approached.

 

"You got a Pokemon at the lab..." he sneered when getting closer. "What a waste. That's a Pokemon that's too good for a wimp like you... Don't you get what I'm saying? Well, I too have a good Pokemon. I'll show you what I mean!"

 

Silver tossed the Monster Ball he had stolen upwards a few times, catching it each time it came back down.

[CorruptedMoon]

OOC: Shaddup. XP

 

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise. 'What the hell...?! Who is this guy? And how did he know about Cynder?' Shaking the thoughts away, he gazed passively at the redhead. "If it's a battle you want, then that's what you'll get!" Cynder squeaked in agreement, standing determinedly in front of his trainer.

[Shadow Fire]

OFF TOPIC:

Feel free to use the Offtopic tags. =P They were made with this purpose in mind.

 

Silver smirked wider, unleashing his Pokemon from its Monster Ball. A Totodile emerged, snapping its teeth playfully.

 

'Alright... I seem to have the type advantage here. Although, both of these Pokemon look rather weak.'

 

Totodile didn't seem to share his master's thoughts, snapping its teeth again in excitement. Silver raised an eyebrow.

 

'I'll call it Snappy.'

[CorruptedMoon]

OFF TOPIC:

Okay then.   Shaddup. XP

 

Ethan stared at the water starter in shock, 'That's one of the pokemon from the lab!' His eyes narrowed, 'But how...? He...he didn't!' Shaking the thought away for the moment, the amber-eyed teen focused on the starting battle.

[Shadow Fire]

Silver snickered as the battle began.

 

"Okay, Snappy..." he purred. "Do whatever it takes to crush your opponent."

 

Snappy once again snapped his jaws, before rushing at the Cyndaquil, his sharp claws gleaming in the morning light.

 

"Do it!" Silver ordered. "Scratch!"

[CorruptedMoon]

"Get out of the way Cynder!" Ethan exclaimed, sighing softly as the fire mouse dodged. "Good! Now use smokescreen!" Cynder nodded before taking a deep breath and exhaling, a stream of black smoke covering both pokemon so neither could truly see.

[Shadow Fire]

Silver scowled as the smokescreen covered everything.

 

'Damn it! Better use drastic measures...'

 

"Snappy!" he called out. "Use Water Gun! Fire randomly! Get your opponent!"

 

The Totodile snapped his jaws, before firing its water gun in random directions.

[CorruptedMoon]

Ethan cringed at the sound of his pokemon's pain cry. "Hang in there Cynder! Find that pokemon and use tackle!" Cynder dodged another water gun just in time before running in the direction it had come from.

[Shadow Fire]

Snappy continued to shoot In random directions, not knowing the fire mouse was rushing towards him.

 

"Tototototototo..." the baby crocodile chirped after stopping to catch his breath. "Totototo-diiiiiiii~!"

 

Snappy was unprepared for the assault, the Cyndaquil slamming into him. The Totodile went soaring a couple meters, before landing roughly on the ground, knocked out from the critical hit. Silver scowled in disgust.

 

'Damn it. How did I lose?'

[CorruptedMoon]

The raven haired teen breathed a sigh of relief before smiling, "That was great Cynder!" "Cynda!" The fire mouse said happily, scampering over to his trainer.

[Shadow Fire]

Recalling Snappy into his Monster Ball, Silver narrowed his eyes at the capsule. Tilting his glance upward, he glared at Ethan.

 

"You may have defeated me here," he growled. "But your victory is worthless. I'll show you just how powerful I am."

 

With those words, the red-haired boy sprinted off, not noticing something drop from his pocket.

[CorruptedMoon]

Ethan blinked, 'What a weird guy...' Shifting his gaze, he noticed what the trainer had dropped and curiosity made him pick it up. 'What's this?'

[Shadow Fire]

Silver didn't get very far before realising he had dropped something important. Stopping in panic, he turned around, only to notice Ethan glancing at...

 

"Hey, that trainer card!" he called out, rushing back over. "It's mine!"

 

Grabbing it back, his eyes widened.

 

"Oh, no..." he moaned in exasperation. "You saw my name! Oh well, it's not like it really matters anyway. All that should matter to you is that I will crush you."

 

With those words, he rushed off once again.
