Prompt: frozen
Characters/Pairing: Red/Sapphire
Rating: G
It was the thrill, fire hot adrenaline that rushed through their veins when they battled. It was the exhilaration they felt afterward falling to the ground breathless. It was the excitement they felt formulating battle strategies. It was the adventures through forests and mountains and jungles she took him to, showing him the wonder of the world that she knew he'd appreciate. It was the warmth of his hands when he helped her up after losing a battle.
It was laughing after so much fun and turning to look at each other when the laughter dies and they're staring. Blue to Red, Red to Blue. It was leaning away unsure. It was thinking about a boy who looked so much like Red. It was thinking of a blonde haired girl with kindness in her heart. It was the guilt that this could possibly because he looked so much like Ruby. It was the guilt that he was four years older; Sapphire was only sixteen.
It was them both getting up awkwardly. It was the silence that brewed between them. It was the thoughts racing in their head.
It was the hand that Red offered her, and it was she who took it.

Characters/Pairing: Archie, Maxie, Sird
Rating: T, character death
There was only one suit, and in this battle one victor. There would be no rematches and no regrets. She watched from her perch on the underside of her Starmie. Fire versus Water. There was a type advantage on Archie's side, but fire could be so hot that it only makes steam when it met the water. It was all up to their drive to survive and how classic this Darwin Survival of the Fittest suited them- these two who tried to harness nature itself to meet their own ends.
The battle is long, much more so than Sird anticipated. The Pokémon are tired but not their trainers-a madness gleams like jewels in their eyes, an aftereffect of the possession of the orbs. It makes them vicious and it make her game even more entertaining. Their Pokémon fall one by one.
Archie's Walrein takes out Maxie's last pokemon. Cruelty twisted his smile when Archie orders for Ice Shard. Maxie falls. The victor narrows his eyes in suspicion; he wasn't sure that his attack pierced all of the vitals and approached the loser. He crouches besides him, eyes stone cold. It was remarkable that Maxie was still breathing; his heart untouched. Archie yanked a shard out of his body while Maxie took shallow breaths and watched him, unable to do anything.
"Good bye, Maxie." There was no sorrow for his long time rival and enemy, just ice in word form. He raises the bloody shard and brings it down hard, impaling Maxie's heart. Archie was almost surprised that so much blood spurted from the wound.
"Good job," Sird said from her perch. "The armour is yours."
Archie looks at her from over his shoulder and straighten up. "I've won," he wiped away a particular annoying splatter of blood from the corner of his eye.
"You have," Sird gestured to the armour for him to take. "You are the best, the victorious."

She's more devastated about his lost eyesight than he was, and Silver was the one who lost his sight. Thick gauze and bandages were wrapped around his head, obscuring his damaged eyes. Her clammy hands clasped his and even behind his wrappings he can picture her chewing on her bottom lip in worry.
Silver sighed and gently eased his hand out of hers.
"Don't pity me Kris," he murmured. She sniffled in reply.
"You don't deserve this." Silver could hear the tears in her voice without seeing them curve around her cheeks.
Silver groped for her hand again and laced his fingers with hers. "It's going to be all right, Crystal." He replied softly.
