Double Journey (Pokemon Fanfic)

Double Journey Chapter 12

Amethyst and Brawly walked down the edge of the beach watching Magma sniff out Sharpedo teeth. When he found one, he dug and grabbed it putting it into Amethysts bag.

Brawly smiled. "Sorry for earlier. I was crazy in the party." He said.

"That's fine, I just..." Amethyst thought back to the hotel room with Harper and Silver, and realization struck her.

She loved Silver.

"Thanks for a good time, Brawly, but it's 1:00 in the morning. I'm gonna head home. " she began to walk back to the island when she saw Diamond approaching a teen that looked to be her age. The guy kissed her, and her eyes widened before pulling away as Gold was walking up.

Amethyst ran over to stand beside her childhood friend, who's eyes were wet.

"Diamond...what're you..." Gold trailed off.

"Gold!!!" Diamond stuttered. Amethyst shook her head and walked back to the Pokemon center. Magma followed on all fours, leaving footprints in the sand.

In the hotel room, Amethyst sprawled out on the bed, closing her eyes for a second and changing to another position. Magma was laying over her, snoring.

In the opposite corner of the room, Harper was trying to kiss Silver's cheek. Amethyst looked back to Green, who was eating popcorn with Lyra, who was starting to act more like the friend she once knew. Red was teaching Pikachu tricks.

Amethyst looked at the biggest Sharpedo tooth in her bag. She put it on a leather string and tied it to her neck.

Silvy the Zorua popped out of its Pokéball, licking Amethysts cheek and running over to Silver, nosing him. Silver patted her, before glancing at Amethyst and getting up to flop on the bed next to her.

"Hi," she said quietly, looking at him. A strand of his red hair was in his eyes, and she put it back behind his ear. "Hey," he said, looking in Harpers direction.

"So you and Harper are getting close," she smiled as much as she wanted to cry.

"I guess you could say that." He muttered.

Amethyst looked away. "Um...yeah, so..." She stuttered awkwardly. "Do you want to go to the beach again, while we're here?"

Silver nodded. "Sure. And I found this at the gift shop while you were out, and I got one custom made for you and Harper, because she really wanted one." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a silver Typhlosion on all fours breathing out violet fire.

She hugged him. "That's awesome," she commented. "Thank you, Silv."

He fastened it around her neck and she smiled.

Silver blushed and looked down in his assertive Silver way. "I'm gonna go to bed," he said.

"Me too," said Amethyst. She got under the covers as Silver left, and fell asleep quickly.

-----------------

"Eat." Amethyst told Diamond forcefully.

Diamond had slept on the beach all night last night. She looked a mess, tears streaming down her dry, puffy face. Amethyst was sick with worry.

Diamond rolled her eyes, put Blaziken in a Pokéball, and ran out of the room.

Obviously leaving. Amethyst quickly gave chase, and they ran for a while. Finally Diamond stopped and turned around. "Why are you even following me?" She snarled.

"Because you're my best friend!" Amethyst growled, Magma behind her.

Diamond stopped, her eyes softening. "I'm sorry. Luke messed up everything and now Gold hates me."

"He loves you."

"Does not."

"Does too. Come on, let's go."

They ate breakfast quickly, and then got on their swimsuits to go to the beach for the last time(minus Diamond and Gold, who were having a talk and would be there in a bit).

Amethyst and Lyra walked behind the pack. Silver and Harper were holding hands, and Silver didn't look too annoyed.

"I'm beginning to regret letting Harper come with us," Lyra began. "She's all over Silver and its abnoxious. It makes me realize what I put you through, and I want to apolagize."

"It's fine." Amethyst said. "You're my childhood friend, I'll always forgive you." They hugged quickly, and caught up with the rest of the group, who was setting up some unbrellas. Amethyst let out all of her Pokemon, and set up a towel on Lucky's head for suntanning.

Pearl and Salamence flew overhead, and Magma and Thunder were building Sand Castles that they would turn to glass afterwards and let Silvy play in them.

Amethyst watched carefully. Silvy was under the close eye of Thunder, but that didn't mean she wouldn't find some way to get into trouble. Sure enough, Amethyst was right. A red pokemon with a crab's claw mouth burst out of the sand. "It's a trapinch!" Green shouted. Silvy yelped.

"Silvy, shadow claw!" Amethyst leapt off of Lucky. The Zorua scratched trapinch, and it fainted in an instant, giving Diamond the impression that she had been trained very well in Unova.

Yet again, Amethyst was right.
