The Color of Friendship
CS, PS, IS

Maybe it was accidental. Maybe it was fate. Either way, anyone would agree that they were meant to be together.

They all gathered over the years, whether they were found during Ash's travels, or just coincidentally met. Each one had an unique asset to provide to the group; and each one complimented every flaw and strength of their counterpart in ways admirers could only hope to understand.

Of course it wasn't exactly common to find league champions and top coordinators hanging around like regular people. But that was the exact reason fans were absolutely crazed over the sextet. Fawning and swooning at every little thing they did.

Then again, this was the same group of admirers who deemed them 'the almighty' and 'oh-so-amazing' Spectrum.

Each member was associated with a hue. One that represented their personality, appearance, and or even simply their favorite color.

And for May, red was definitely her favorite color.

She was always known as a feisty one. A girl with a temperament that could rival an erupting volcano, but also could be as sweet as pie. The feeling she got during the heat of a competition absolutely thrilled her. She felt pure passion towards coordinating, and every graceful command she called out on the stadium floor was filled with incredible artistry and energy.

She always did wear the color. A red bandana, a red shirt, red shoes... Up until her journey to Johto. For a few months, she traded in her classic red for a new color; Green. Whether it was for a change of pace or to catch the eye of a certain rival, she opted to return to her crimson ensemble in the end. She couldn't help it. Red was such a beautiful, intense color. Besides... weren't roses red?

She was famously known for her vibrant, orange hair.

Misty was proud of her originality and never failed to back down when times got hard. She always had everyone's back, and no amount of ridicule could dampen her fiery spirit. She never stopped watching over those she loved, and was labeled the Mother of their group. After all, she did constantly have to supervise a boy with a hero-complex that got him into more than enough trouble.

Of course being compared non-stop to her sisters and their model physique and gorgeous flowing locks, she couldn't help but let her impenetrable wall of pride, falter. But it was nothing a blush and few dense words from our hero couldn't fix.

His best friends' were associated with yellow. It was only natural he grew fond of it.

His life-saving thunderbolts. Her typical outfits, always a rich yellow.

Ash radiated the color. His unique boyish charm, his extraordinary confidence. Anyone in his presence could feel his warmth and optimism, just like the sun on a hot summer day. Ultimately, he was the reason they all met in the first place. Sure he wasn't the sharpest guy out there, be he would sacrifice his life to save the world without a second thought. He knew it was reckless, but every broken bone was worth being able to know his carrot-haired best friend was safe. Even if it meant he had to face her wrath-and mallet-afterwards.

He was always known as the 'cocky, green, grass-headed dude'.

Drew never wanted to have such a strange hair color; He thought he was cursed. But not in the eyes of his abundant fangirls. To them, he was absolute perfection. A success. And with all the attention, how could he not let his ego swell? Too bad he fell in love with the only person who could bruise it.

He felt like one with nature; His little rose bushes, his powerful Roserade. Always calm, peaceful and collected. But another guy's attention on his bandana loving girl changes his serene self into a vicious natural disaster. He becomes as green as his mop of hair- But with a flick of a rose and an adorable blush, he's back to his confident self.

Blue. She thought it was such a peaceful color.

The color of the open sky. The color of the vast ocean. Both could be compared to Dawn's deep navy eyes. Her bubbly personality and comforting words. Her breathtaking coordinating moves inspired all who watched. No matter what the situation, she could make someone feel like there really is "no need to worry".

She was the backbone of the group; the support system. When anyone had a problem, she could easily break down their wall with her honest words and sincerity. That's why she took such a liking to him. He completely hid from the world. And she was the only one who could tear down those barriers.

It wasn't a manly color. But he gave a new meaning to the color purple.

Paul wasn't one to be in the lime-light. His only goal was to be Champion. And after conquering the region leagues with Ash, he couldn't be more irritated at the fact that girls wouldn't leave him alone. He was dark, tall and mysterious. He easily had everyone's respect. But what kept them away was his cold and quiet demeanor, and he was completely fine with that. After all, he was used to being alone.

No one could imagine that the Paul was good friends with his rival and his little crew, much less actually travel with them. Neither could he. He did it because she never left him alone. She never gave up on him. She shattered that ice cold exterior that he'd encased himself in for years.

And he had never been happier.

They were all pieces to a puzzle; and together, those pieces created their Spectrum.

I got this idea in the shower. xD I had an epiphany that they made up a rainbow. The color meanings are from a website:

May: Red- Excitement, Energy, Desire, Intensity, Passion, Aggression.

Misty: Orange- Encouragement, Vibrant, Flamboyant, Courage, Warmth, Ambition.

Ash: Yellow- Optimism, Bold, Charm, Confidence, Laziness.

Drew: Green- Nature, Vigor, Success, Freshness, Soothing, Jealousy.

Dawn: Blue- Sincerity, Loyalty, Comfort, Trust, Inspiration.

Paul: Purple- Tension, Mysterious, Transformation, Wisdom, Respect.

I thought they all fit fairly well. xD I wanted to add Brock to this, but I didn't want him to be all alone. He would've been brown though.
T'was supposed to be a drabble. 500 words max. Turned out to be over a thousand, so let's just call it a one shot, eh?

Writing this gave me inspiration for my current chaptered story. (Which you should all read, mwuahaha.) Expect updates on Bittersweet Memories soon. ;)
