Gaz was taking a walk around town, playing her Game Slave 4, as usual. She just got it a month ago, on her 15th birthday. Dib got it for her.
She remembers how hard he worked to get enough money. He constantly complained about how expensive it was after he got home every day. "Three hundred and fifty dollars for one video game console! What's so new about it? It's in 3D? Seriously, Dad could make a better system for half the price!" Gaz wasn't even sure where Dib went to work for the money. She made sure to act like she didn't care.
On the day of her birthday, she thanked Dib by making sure she didn't knock him unconscious when she beat him up. He never fought back, and Gaz could never figure out why. She was confused at why he even got her a present, and worked so hard to get it. Dad could have got it for her, with all the money he saves for the lab when it explodes every month.
Back to the present, Gaz bumped into someone on the street. "Watch where you're going, you clums-" Gaz was interrupted by the person.
"Oh, I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your game. What are you playing?" The man seemed to be in his 30s. He wore a pale gray suit, and his skin was almost the same. He looked Japanese. His voice had a matching accent.
Gaz felt relaxed near him, despite his cold appearance. "Pokémon Black."
"Pokémon? You know, I worked on one of those games for a while."
Now the stranger had Gaz's attention. "Really? Which one?"
"Um... It was one of the old ones, the Japanese version of Red and Green."
Gaz's curiosity was replaced with suspicion in an instant. "Wow... You seem kind of young to say you worked on that game."
"Why, thank you. I must look better than I thought." he chuckled to himself. A silence followed.
Awkwardly.
The man spoke up again. "Hey, you seem to enjoy video games. I have a copy of Pokémon Green with me. It's only in Japanese, though, so I don't know if you want it..."
Gaz could hardly contain herself. "I'll take it! I know how to read Japanese. I even have a GSPGS at home to use it with!" (GSPGS stood for Game Slave Portable Gaming System, which was the first Game Slave console.) Yes, Gaz did speak Japanese. She learned it for her second language Midel Skool. She currently took honors classes in Hi Skool. How else would she understand the Japan release only games that she bought off of Ebay?
The man seemed pleased. "Well, here you are, then." He took the game out of his pants pocket and handed it over. It looked brand new.
"Thanks! Hey, what's your name? I could try to find it in the credits or-"
The man cut Gaz off again. He seemed nervous. "Eh, don't bother looking for my name in there."
"Okay... Thanks again." With that, Gaz ran back home to dig up her old GSPGS. Hopefully it didn't need any batteries.
