“I can’t believe it.” Red’s voice was shaky. “I won’t!”

Lance met his gaze unflinchingly. “I am not lying to you.” He said shortly. “I am only verifying what Ms. Yellow herself told you when she scanned Deoxys’s mind. There is a reason that you are destined to be its trainer, Red.”

“But the fact that somehow, Team Rocket made it from a space virus and my DNA – my blood! How is that possible?”

“You’ve seen Mewtwo.” Lance’s voice was curt. “The depths of their machinations in order to create power should not surprise you.”

No, it should not, but it still did.

He wondered idly if that meant he would be connected to Deoxys the same way Mewtwo had been to Blaine. Eew, he hoped not.

“Doesn’t that mean, I mean, that I’m Deoxys’s…” Here he gulped “Father?”

“It is certainly genetically the case.”

“I feel ill.” Red muttered, and sat down heavily on a convenient boulder. “I’ve never even had sex and I’m a Father…”

Lance chuckled. “What a thing to be thinking, Champion!”

It was only then that Red noticed they were very much alone, and since he had gone to Whirl Islands without telling anyone no one would know where he was.

He flushed as Lance blinked at him quizzically.

“Did you want anything else?”

“N-Not really…” Red stammered.

“Really…” The Dragon Master drawled as he stalked closer, and Red gulped as Lance leaned down and covered his lips.

Wow…

He almost swooned, but caught himself in time as he stared at the Dragon Master, flabbergasted.

“We can do more if you’d like.” Lance suggested, though the teasing tone in his voice informed Red that declining was certainly a possibility.

Red flushed. It did sound awfully tempting, and what did he have to lose, besides the obvious? “Will it hurt?”

“Only a little.” Lance promised.

“All right then.” Red took a deep breath, and kissed him again.

Yeah. No real relationship, but no PWP either, since I’m not detailing their sex lives. I have no idea why Red would go see Lance except the second option is Giovanni (who I think is dead) and Lance isn’t so evil in the GSC arc…

In the manga, there was a phrase that mentioned either that Deoxys was Red, or there was some connection. That of course can be interpreted in a variety of ways…

(As of 12/16/06, I can say that Deoxys DOES have Red’s blood, so I guess that means his DNA too? I’m brilliant!)
