Leaf : Green

I lie quietly in front on an Oak tree that was situated next to my house and close my eyes. The Spring sun gleams brightly through the long outstretched branches. I shuffle to try and find a comfortable position while tree's shadow provides a cool veil over me as I try to drift away into sleep. Pallet Town is a very peaceful town. I quite like it here. Even though it can get a little boring, the tranquility of the place overrides the dullness of it. There are only a few houses here and Professor Oak's Laboratory. I've lived here as long as I can remember but I'm not really complaining, however, sometimes I have the urge to just run right out into the wild grass to see the world beyond this town.

I guess it's not that bad because I have my childhood friend with me here…well he'd rather call our relationship somewhat one between rivals. It's true though, he's been my rival since we were born. Whether it be athletics, academics, general house hold skills or even eating. He'd always compete with me, I mean it gives us a source of entertainment but I think I'm the only one who wants to have a normal relationship sometimes. Oh I didn't mention his name did I?

"Leaf!" A familiar voice calls out to me loudly.

"Well speak of the devil." I muttered to myself and reluctantly opened my eyes.

"Oi! Did you manage to find a four-leaf clover today?" The figure was trying to catch his breath as he held his left fist up to me.

"It's nice to see you too Green." I said sarcastically and gave him a charming smile. "No. I didn't actually, I thought you were joking about that."

"Heh. Admit it. You tried really hard and couldn't find one." He smirked and opened up his left fist to reveal a crumpled four-leaf clover. "You're impressed right?"

"Not really." I feigned an innocent smile.

"W-what?" He squatted down and extended his hand out even closer to me. "Look at this rare thing and tell me, you TELL me it's not impressive. You need a massive amount of luck and skill to find this you know."

"It's not impressive." I stated.

"Why you little." Green glared at me for a moment. "To think I went through the trouble…"

"Did you do this for me?" I asked. "Because you thought I wanted to compete with you?"

"O-of course not!" Green blushed, quickly turned around and threw the clover away. "This is nothing. I can find another any time."

"That's a shame and I was SO impressed too." I sighed. Green then whipped his head back towards me. I could feel the dark aura just seeping out of him as he stared at me. "Hehe…"

"You cheeky girl." He muttered.

"Hehe. Say shall we go for a walk?" I offered as I stood up.

"Hmph. Fine." Green nonchalantly rises and starts walking off.

"Ah." I quickly catch up to him and took a hold of his hand. "Now let's go."

"Idiot! W-what do you think you're doing?" Green suddenly pulls his hand out of my grasp and shoved them into his pockets.

I chuckled lightly as I trailed behind him. Every time I try to catch up he'd pick up the pace but I think I know why. Who'd want anyone to look at them when their face is as red as a boiling tomato, however, I had no idea that this would be the last time that I can joke with him like this. Before I knew it our relation began changing drastically but that is a story for another time. The story of us is just beginning.
