Silver was sure that it had been close to a month before he arrived at Viridian City for the first time in… years. He noticed how much it had changed, how different it was. He wondered if the gym would still be the same as it was when his father was the Gym Leader – foreboding and evil.
You told me… Silver winced as he remembered the last words he and his father had exchanged before Giovanni had abandoned him. …you were number one in the world!
“One must acknowledge one’s defeat before he can move on…” Giovanni’s voice was clear as crystal. “I will go solo… for now… So that one day I will form a stronger organisation!”
“What aspect of you was number one?” Silver whispered as tears welled up in his eyes. As cruel and relentless to him as Giovanni was, he was still his father and he wanted desperately to love him. “Gathering so many only to be defeated by a mere child!”
“Putting together the potential of many is how you produce a huge power… 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!”
“I don’t understand you!” Silver shouted. He couldn’t comprehend any of this. All he knew was that for the few days before Giovanni’s defeat, he had been treated as he should have been. Giovanni had been kind to him, had fed him and made sure that he was okay. Silver was willing to put all of his pain and misery behind him if it meant that they could truly be father and son. “You don’t make any sense!”
“…” Giovanni turned his back on his son. “…One day, you will understand.”
“I don't want to understand you!” Silver screamed as his father left. “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!”
Tears streamed down Silver’s face as he collapsed onto his knees. He thought about what Gold and that Dragon-type trainer, Lance, had said to him. He didn’t understand why they both were telling him to be kinder to his Pokémon – what use would that be? That would bring both he and his Pokémon nothing but pain. It would teach the Pokémon to trust and love in Silver – and when that time came, Silver would have to break their hearts one way or another, just as his father did to him.
The thought that Silver had turned out just like the man he hated most had never crossed his mind – until now. He hadn’t thought about their parting for a long time – or rather, he wouldn’t allow himself to think about it. Those words that Silver had screamed at the top of his lungs… The way that he had spoken with such hatred and despair… About how he had sworn he would be a better person than Giovanni ever was. But… The way that Silver treated his Pokémon… Silver knew, deep down, that he was nothing more than a miniature Giovanni.
“I don’t want to be like him…” Silver sobbed to himself as realisation dawned upon him. “I can’t be like him… Please… Someone… Help me…”
Just like they always did, people stopped and stared, but no one had made any move to try and help Silver. At least, not until Silver’s cries and pleads for help became so hysterical Silver was on the verge of passing out.
“Hey! Hey, kid!” A male with spikey brown hair had run to Silver’s side. He reached out and grabbed the red-head’s shoulder in genuine concern, but he realised too late that it had only made the situation worse.
With a sickening scream, Silver lashed out briefly before he fell into the throes of unconsciousness.

When Silver came to, it was with a cry of horror as he realised that he was lying in a bed in an unfamiliar room. Silver had not been anywhere near a bed for as long as he could remember – even when he would rent a room out in the Pokémon Centres, he always slept on the floor as far away from the bed as was possible. Beds just simply brought back too many distressing memories.
When the door to Silver’s room was opened, said child’s eyes widened in terror as he realised his situation; he was alone, in some stranger’s home and in their bed. They probably just wanted to keep him here for pleasure.
“Are you okay, kid?” Came the stranger’s voice from the doorway.
Silver remained silent as he stared intently at his lap. He didn’t understand why, but being in this situation scared him more than any of the other traumatising situations he had been in ever since he was abandoned.
“Kid?” The stranger was the male with brown hair. He approached the bed with a frown on his face. He reached out to touch Silver again, but the smaller boy just scooted backwards until he was pressed against the headboard of the bed, trying to put as much distance as possible between them.
A lone tear fell down Silver’s cheek as his mouth hung open in a silent scream. His heart thudded painfully against his chest and his entire body shook. Breathing was difficult as he soon fell into a panic attack.
The brown-haired male seemed to sense an attack of some sort approaching, so he left the room and returned just a minute later with a glass of water. He handed it to Silver, watching the hyperventilating boy.
Once Silver’s erratic breathing had calmed down, the male leant against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. He surveyed the boy with unreadable eyes.
“What’s your name, kid?” The male asked, hoping to get some sort of response this time.
“…” A hiccup escaped Silver’s lips as he ducked his head lower.
The taller male sighed. “My name is Green. I am the Viridian City Gym Leader.”
Silver’s breath hitched once again at these words. Gym Leader…? This man… He must be one of Giovanni’s people!
Silver’s vision became a hazy white and his head pounded furiously against his skull. He had no will left to fight as he fell victim to oblivion for the second time that day.
Green’s eyes filled with worry as he surveyed the scene. There was definitely something wrong with this boy, and judging from the reactions he was getting, it had to do with Viridian City – or perhaps, someone that has something to do with the city itself.

Green didn’t like the idea of leaving the still-unconscious boy alone in his bedroom, but he felt that the police might know something about that child. He was currently seated in one of Officer Jenny’s offices as they went through old records of previous Viridian City residents.
“I still don’t know why you didn’t just bring the boy here and make it easier…” Officer Jenny complained as Green sorted through his thirty-third missing person’s flier in as many seconds.
“I told you,” Green growled as he came across another missing persons poster that didn't resemble his guest in the least, “he seems to have issues with touching, and… I don’t know how to explain it, but there is seriously something wrong with him…”
“You can’t give us a better description on his appearance other than red hair?” Officer Jenny tried.
Green shrugged. “He hasn’t spoken a word and he won’t even look at me. …But… I did notice that when I mentioned I was the Gym Leader, he panicked for a moment and then fainted again.”
“Hmm…” Officer Jenny pondered what that could mean. But then, it clicked. “Red hair, you say…”
Green watched as the policewoman turned back to her computer. It was silent for a few seconds as Jenny typed something out, and then she turned back to him
“The old Gym Leader had a son with red hair,” Officer Jenny explained as she turned her computer to Green. On the screen was that same child currently in Green’s bed – but younger. “Everyone suspected the boy of being abused, but it was never substantiated due to some… corrupt cops here on the force at the time.”
Green frowned. “That’s definitely him…”
“The boy’s name is Silver and he went missing around the time the previous Gym Leader did. People said they saw the Gym Leader go one way and Silver go another – in tears. He was never seen around here again.”
Green sighed and put his face into his hands. “What am I supposed to do with him…?”
“We can take him off your hands and put him into foster care if you would like,” Jenny offered. “According to his records, he should be about fourteen – but due to his… upbringing… I believe it will be hard to find a suitable home for him.”
Green shook his head. The thought of Silver going into foster care horrified him. “I’ll take care of him. I was the only one, out of all those people, who did something more than stop and gawk…”
Jenny nodded. “I see. But for you to become his legal guardian, there will be a lot of paperwork involved…”
“I’m aware of that. I was removed from my parents’ custody and put into my Grandfather’s care, after all.”
Jenny nodded. “Then I’m sure just by having something like that in common, there will be grounds for Silver to begin trusting you – however long that may take.”
“Thank you for your help. I need to go back and check on him.”
Green left without another word. He just wanted to go back and make sure that Silver was okay.
-XX-
When Silver awoke, he was still in the same bed he had been in the last time. The only difference now was that there was an Eevee curled up against him, fast asleep.
Silver eyed the fox Pokémon warily as he raised himself up with one arm. He wondered where the male from before had gotten to and why the man’s Pokémon was sleeping with him. Didn’t the furry creature understand just how horrid Silver truly was?
But the Pokémon’s warmth outweighed any doubt and putdowns Silver had for himself. He had never allowed anyone so close to him before, and this… this tiny creature was bringing more comfort to him than he had felt in a long time.
Silver laid back down, careful not to wake Eevee up. He reached out with a tentative hand before he patted the Pokémon’s silky fur. A small smile crossed Silver’s face as he continued petting the Pokémon, feeling more at peace than he had for as long as he could remember.
Without even realising it, Silver had closed his eyes and fallen asleep once again.
