Warnings (if necessary):None, though in this story, Green isn't in anyway related to professor Oak.

Leaf looked up as she walked through Pallet Town, memories rushing through her mind. Had it been that long since she last came here? As a child, she would always come here during the summer to visit professor Oak, helping him out at anything she could possibly do. She stopped in front of the house next to the professor's lab: the house of the red caped boy. Shutting the memories outside, she continued to her destiny.

"Leaf! It's so good to see you!"

After catching up about what had happened in their lives, her telling him about her career at the day care center along with her own pokémon, him telling her about his new pokedex, with a whole new region available. He finally asked about him.

"Did you ever heard about Red again?"

Even hearing the name gave her chills.

"No.." Her voice shoke slighty and Mr. Pokemon understood the tone in her voice,

"I heard he's on Mt. Silver, he became champion, you know, beat the elite 4 and I bet he's pretty lonely."

Leaf looked away, she couldn't help wondering what had happened to him. Why did he never wrote to her?

"Oh, but I see that you're taken now?"

She looked at him, to find his eyes set on her engagement ring. She felt her cheeks turn red.

"Oh! Yes, his name is Green! He's a lovely fellow. He'll actually be here in a bit!"

He continued talking about his first wife, and the second, and the third, possibly the fourth. Truth is, Leaf's mind was someplace else.

It was a magical summer.

Her and her mother would always come to Pallet Town in order to visit her aunt all the way from Celadon City. She loved the change from the huge buildings to the wild pokémon running around. It was the first year she met the professor, he told her he was completing an encyclopedia about all the pokémons of the region, and handed her a Squirtle. Since she wasn't there to stay, she only had to catch some pokémons. With her Squirtle at hand, she only had to catch them and the data would get on the device.

It was that one day that changed everything. She was a bit far from the town, feeling she had walked for hours. She sat down reading the new data on the Rattata she had just caught. She felt accomplished, yet tired so she closed her eyes for a little bit. She didn't even hear when the wild Growlithe jumped out of nowhere and bit Squirtle. She quickly told him to use Water Gun, but Squirtle was too weak to battle, as she was forced to call him back. The small puppy set his eyes on her. She quickly got up and started running away, but the fire-type Pokémon was faster. She felt tears forming in her eyes. It was only then when she heard it.

"pika..CHUUUU!"

A flash of light was before her eyes. Then, the Growlithe was on the floor, fainted.

"Are you okay?"

The voice came from behind, Leaf looked up to find a boy with a red cap. The pikachu ran and jumped on his shoulder. He held his hand to help her get back on her feet.

"I.. Thank you." She simply said, out of breath.

"You're welcome, we should head back, I've seen you at the professor's lab before." He started walking and she followed him fast.

"What's your name?" Leaf asked on the way back. He hadn't talked much, quite in contrast to her, who had explained how scared she had been and how thankful she was.

"Red, you?" He looked at her.

"Leaf." He didn't reply, but he did keep his gaze, making her speechless, which many few people had managed before. She turned away before he could notice her cheeks going red as they continued walking back to Pallet Town.

"Red!"

The boy looked around, obviously not used to people screaming his name. Leaf ran next to him. "Don't you wanna go strawberry picking with me?" He looked at her slightly confused. Why was she asking this of him?

"Come on! We can eat some on the way back." She grabbed his hand and pulled it, giving the right time for Pikachu to jump on his shoulder.

"You can't eat Strawberries straight away from bushes, you have to wash them first." Red quietly said.

"Oh.." Leaf replied in a sad tone, which made Red feel bad somehow. "But we can eat some blueberries?"

He sucked at cheering people up, that was why he never really tried, but Leaf was different, he couldn't stand to see her sad, she was always smiling. They had been a lot together ever since that Growlithe attacked her.

"It's fine, I'll make a cake with aunt later."

She stopped walking. Red stopped right next to her. She turned around slowly to him with a scared look on her face. What was happening? Had she heard something? He was ready to tell Pikachu to jump and protect them when she suddenly her expression changed to a big smile and she pushed him. "Gotcha!" She laughed as she fell down to the grass with him.

"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu jumped to the grass for a soft landing as Leaf and Red rolled on the ground. They stopped to find Leaf on top of him. He had never felt his heart beat as fast as it did in that moment. Even Leaf stopped laughing. Her nose was softly touching his. He had always thought she had beautiful eyes, but this close made them look even more perfect. He tried to read Leaf's expression, but was distracted by her lips. They were getting closer. He wasn't sure if it was his doing or hers. Next thing he knew, they slowly touched each other's lips softly. His hands went to her cheeks, trying to make a hold of her.

"Pika?" A confused pikachu stood next to them demanding explanation. She pulled away and got off him, slowly sitting next to him. Had he misread everything? What if she didn't want this? The thought of that made his heart beat even faster. He sat up and looked at her. "Leaf.." He managed to say trying now to show how shaky his voice was. She simply turned to him, smiled, and leaned in to kissed him.
