Silver (AU)

○ Nearly a year has passed since the events of the HGSS arc.
○ Silver is completely blind.
○ He's completely mobile and capable regardless. He pulled a daredevil. Green, Lance, and Pryce have taught him how to fight and battle well- no, better than before- even without his vision. His Pokémon help him with what he can't do on his own.
○ Has Gold's old goggles and cuestick; the cuestick serves as a cane. Blue's also made him fingerless gloves so he doesn't have to completely give them up.
○ Gold and Pryce have been stuck in the timestream together for years; both of them returned when they were needed most. Absence makes the heart grow fonder- Gold and Silver have bonded a lot since he returned and even if Silver can get around fine, he doesn't mind relying on him a little. Gold is family.
○ A responsible and reliable Dex Holder. Green dragged Silver to Professor Oak directly after the Mask of Ice incident; since his grandfather forgave and approved of Silver (after giving him a stern talking to, of course,) he and Green began to bond much faster than in canon. He helped him evolve half of his Pokémon.
○ Fulfills Gold's roles in canon along with Crys; they've grown incredibly close and learned a lot from each other. Silver considers her to be family.
○ Since only Pichu left with Gold, Silver and Crys have cared for the rest of his Pokémon.
○ Giovanni died at the end of the HGSS arc. As a result, Team Rocket has completely disbanded; the members that didn't relent were actually, you know, apprehended.
