Shadow Fire

Link arrived at the drawbridge, managing to get across just as the sun sank into the horizon. The bridge went up, preventing any outsiders from getting inside. But now I'm stuck here until morning...

Silver's eyes narrowed in pure rage, the red-haired boy rushing his father, grabbing the expensive coat Giovanni was wearing in his hands. "I don't understand you!" he snarled. "You don't make any sense!" Giovanni shook his head slowly, removing his son's hands from his coat. "Silver..." he said, voice sharp. "One day, you will understand." Giovanni left, and Silver broke down. The tears he was holding back dropped, and he was visibly shaking. "I don't want to understand you!" he yelled. "I will never become someone like you. A coward when you're alone and acting like a tyrant when you're in front of other cowards! I will become strong! I will become a stronger man all by myself! ALL BY MYSELF!" Shaking in rage, Silver stormed off, noticing the boy who was standing nearby. His eyes narrowed hatefully. "What are you staring at?" he hissed, shoving the trainer aside roughly. "Get out of my face!" Silver broke into a run, wanting to get as far away from the place as possible, faint sobs still being heard.

Len hissed as he was entered, before giving a pleasured moan. True to his confession, the prince was indeed a masochist, taking pleasure from the pain that he felt from not being fully prepared. His eyes locking onto Haru's, he smiled. "I love you too..." he purred, moving his lips closer to the other boy's. "...my Haru..." The blond let his lips crash up onto Haru's, initiating a heated kiss.

Link shook his head, before making his way forward, running as fast as he could across the vast plain. Hyrule Plain The young boy continued running, even though his legs were turning to jelly. Time seemed to pass quickly, although he'd been running for ages. Finally, I can see the castle...

Silver's teeth clenched tightly, tears still flowing. "What aspect of you was number one?" he spat. "Gathering so many only to be defeated by a mere child!" Giovanni frowned, almost a scowl. "Putting together the potential of many is how you produce a huge power..." he explained. "That's what an organisation is... That's the strength of an organisation! I failed... to make the best use of my subordinates' potential...! But you shall witness one day the revival of me and my Team Rocket!"

Len's grin widened, his eyes clouding over even more. "Enough of that..." he purred lustfully. "I want you... now. Forget using your fingers." As if to pressure the older boy on, Len reached down, moving his hand across Haru's organ, shivering in anticipation. You're big, Haru... I can't wait anymore...

The boy nodded, still warily keeping his eye on the birdie. The princess the Deku Tree told me of. I must meet her.

The red-haired boy's eyes opened slowly. He's there... Closing his eyes again, Silver remembered his past. Silver was glaring at his father, tears brimming at his eyes. "You told me... you were the number one in the world!" he exclaimed. "Are you gonna quit? What are you going to do now?" Giovanni stared back at him, a strange expression on his face. "One must acknowledge one's defeat before he can move on..." the former Team Rocket Leader said. "I will go solo... for now... so that one day I will form a stronger organisation!"

Len gave a soft moan at the intrusion, nipping at the older boy's neck. "Mmmmm..." he purred. "More..."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Link blinked as he saw a massive bird staring down at him. Why do I get the feeling he wants to eat me?

Silver closed his eyes upon arriving at Route 22. I remember it...

Len gave a blush, glancing away and mumbling something under his breath. Realising that his lover couldn't hear, he cleared his breath and repeated what he'd mumbled. "Actually..." he said softly, his face still a bit red. "I'm... a masochist... If you hurt me... you'll know."

Link gazed around in awe, having never seen such colours. The landscape was vast, and it appeared to go on and on. So much for dying if I set foot outside the forest...

Silver gave a soft sigh, before standing up. Paying for his muffin and hot chocolate, he left the cafe and immediately walked towards Route 22. It's getting close... I'll meet him for the first time... three years ago.

Taking the ocarina, the blond held it to his chest for a moment, clearly treasuring the gift he'd been given. Putting it away safely, he raised his hand slightly, giving a small wave, before taking a few steps backwards. Turning around quickly, he raced out of the forest, not looking back. Stay well, my friend...

Pulling back for a moment, Len's eyes opened, locking onto Haru's. They were clouded with love and desire. Quickly, he had flung his legs around the other boy's waist. "You're making me wait..." he murmured. "I need you now..."

Silver was sitting inside a cafe in Viridian City, drinking a hot chocolate, and slowly eating an apple and cinnamon muffin. "Delicious..." he said softly, closing his eyes. "...but Ethan tastes better..." Giving a sigh, he opened his eyes in time to be staring back at a young trainer, wanting a battle. "Sorry kid..." the red-haired boy muttered. "Not in the mood. Save yourself the grief anyway. You're still a bit inexperienced. You should find someone who can help shape you... strengthen the bond between you and your Pokemon... to make you a better... person..." The youngster gave Silver's words a thought, before nodding silently and leaving.

His cheeky grin widening, Len shook his head. "That's you..." he purred, bringing the other closer to him so their bodies were pressed together. "You're the beautiful one... Haru." Letting his hands run all over the older boy's naked back, the blond leaned up and let his lips catch Haru's, flickering his tongue over them.

Looking up at his friend, Link gave a sad smile, before glancing down again. I'm sorry I have to leave... leave my only friend behind.

The red-haired trainer gave a soft sigh while he was being flown to Kanto. As he passed over Blackthorn City, he almost decided to take a detour, and await Ethan there, but decided against it. He needed time alone, in a place where people knew not to bother him. He gave a slight smile as he thought about the raven-haired trainer. I hope he knows what to do with my gift... The red-haired boy had managed to sneak something into Ethan's bag... a strange gold and silver coloured Monster Ball. Silver closed his eyes, just feeling the wind in his hair. Ethan... meet me again... after you've finished with Clair... but before you faced her...

A wicked grin crossed the prince's lips, the blond parting them slightly. A quick nod was his answer, although with swift moves, and no explanation as to how he possibly pulled it off, he had quickly discarded the older boy's lower garments. "Heheh..." he chuckled. "Fastest hands in the world..."

Ignoring the tears that threatened to fall, Silver glanced up at his starter, giving a slight smile, holding out his Monster Ball. "C'mon..." he said softly. "Get inside. We're going to visit my home land... Kanto. We'll see them again anyway. The Pokemon League is at Indigo Plateau. I'll have us there soon enough." Snappy nodded, giving his own smile as he was recalled to his capsule. Silver gave a soft sigh, before calling out his Pidgeot. "Let's go..." he said softly. "We have to go to Kanto." The Pidgeot was surprised at the sudden, though not unwelcome mood change of his master. With a soft call, it allowed Silver to clamber onto its back, wings spreading wide as it took to the skies.

Lowering his glance, Link slowly walked over to his only friend. Saria...

His heart pounding, Len shivered in delight. "Haru..." he breathed softly. "W-will... will your mother... will she mind?" OFF TOPIC: Frankly, I don't expect Haru to care whether his mother does or not. lol

As he made his way out of Route 50, the red-haired teen stopped, before glancing back. His heart seemed pained, and he felt his eyes moisten. Looking down at the ground, he shook his head, before continuing on. "I have to let him be..." he said softly. "I can't force him to feel something... if he doesn't feel it. I just... have to accept it." Snappy glanced down at his master, remaining silent.
