When We First Met

My first fanfic re-written.

Viridian City Primary School

Viridian School was a place of learning a lot of the time. Half the school would be kids learning to become a Pokemon Trainer others becoming whatever else like mechanic, engineer, teacher or professor. Really anything you can think of.

I was only 6 back then and my friend Gar Oak who is nick named Blue was 7. He had spiky hair brown hair and was always cocky. Though that was a problem anymore. Gary nick-named me Red. Every morning we'd walk to school together.

"Hey, Red," he called to me. Today is the first day of a new year.

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked.

"My sister is coming to school tomorrow and I'll be out with Gramps so can you do me a favour and show her around?"

"Sure," I said while kicking some gravel and walking. I don't really know his sister much and barely talked to her but it's a favour so…

The Next Day

I sat outside of school waiting for her while trying to remember and figure out her name. That's basically how much I don't know her. But she rocked up soon enough anyway. She is only one year younger than me so she's 5.

"Hello," she greeted me shyly. "Are you Red?" she asked having trouble keeping her confidence. She wore a dark black dress and shoes. Her hair was long and is the same colour as Gary's

"Yeah," I said trying my best to be welcoming. "You me to show you around?"

"Yeah, okay,"

It was early morning so a lot of kids haven't rocked up yet but as soon as I shown her around most the students were here. She seemed to like the canteen the most because they sold ice cream, cookies, and sushi.

"So what's your name?" I asked just a few minutes before class starts.

"I'm Susan, Red, don't you remember?" she asked me kind of seriously.

"No," I said simply.

And then she cracked up laughing. I couldn't help but smile and chuckle as well. I guess it's funny but stupid that I've forgotten.

And from there we were pretty much friends. We'd usually talk outside of class about what Pokemon we want and what types of Pokemon there are. But it only took 6 months for her to be influenced by a bad person named Silver. He had red hair and the most chilling grin that can make even repel from parent from looking at the kid because he just looked the worst any child could get.

Somehow taught her how to steal, lie and she became very cheeky and mischievous.

Gary didn't like it either but care much. I did though because I hate seeing her misbehaving and getting in trouble. Also she developed some sort of attitude towards the teachers too. This went on for 3 years and it only got worse as it kept going.

By the 3 years Gary was 10 and was aloud – by law – to become a Pokemon trainer, but he decided to hold back for me and his sister too. Gary and I were probably the best two friends could be and none of us really liked the presence of Susan either. She played around too much and had a terrible attitude towards studying so she wasn't that smart either.

Viridian Forest

We all liked to play on the edge of Viridian Forest. One thing of course we'd get easily lost so never really went too deep into it. Not only that, for kids like us who weren't Pokemon trainers it's also dangerous because we've heard they cause paralysis and poison. Also Viridian Forest was only places that actually had a lot of Pokemon to see like Caterpies, Metapods, Weedles, Kakunas, Pideys, Pideottos and Pikachus.

Gary and I sat on the ledges while talking and type strength and weaknesses. Gary held a clipboard looking intently at it while tapping her pencil on his chin.

"What does-no wait…hold on…what…umm," Gary said obviously confused.

I looked over and pointed to his mistake. "Over here," I said. "Electric, Rock and Poison are weak against Ground types,"

"Oh…yeah that's right," Gary said clearly feeling stupid. "Then what does Ice beat then?" he asked making an attempt to test me.

"Dragon and Grass," I said confidently.

"HA! You forgot Ground types!" he shouted triumphantly.

"Okay, you got me," I said raising my hands and smiling.

"I seriously can't believe I'm holding back for you,"

"Well I guess it's better to do the journey with someone else,"

"I'd do it with you and just you,"

"What about…you know," I said while tilting my head towards Susan who God knows where.

Gary shook his head. "Probably don't want to but I have to. Gramps would want me to. Speaking of which," he said as Susan walked over.

"What?" she said rudely.

"Don't what me," Gary said a little irritated.

"You were talking about me," she cried putting her hand on her hips.

"So? We weren't saying anything bad,"

"Sue, why don't you come and learn something, at least," I said trying to convince her to stop being irritating.

"Why? I already know everything,"

Gary and I look at each other. "So what's Water weak against?" Gary asked.

"Grass and Ice," Susan said rather confidently, 100% thinking she got it right.

"Ice? You're joking, right?" I said. "Are you dumb?" I then asked like if she was a baby which seemed to have made a dramatic effect.

"Well, Water freezes doesn't it?" Susan shouted.

"It does, but you're still wrong and you forgot Electric,"

Susan stood there looking really stupid and not really saying anything. "Fine so I've forgotten something, big deal, not like you've forgotten anything before,"

"Yes I have," Gary said. "But you want a Squirtle, so you should know this, it's not hard,"

"What's with you guys, always taking things so seriously,"

I got and picked up my bag.

"Where are you going?" Gary asked.

"Home," I said simply.

"But we just got here 15 minutes ago,"

"Sorry but I can't be here with this near me," I said pointing to Susan.

"Who really cares about you anyway, you're no fun," she said trying to back herself up.

"At least I'm not dumb," Then I started my way toward the exit.

"Red wait," Gary said. "We're still going study together right?"

"I'm sorry Gary, but can't be anywhere near you when she's here,"

I saw the look on Gary's face that spelled pissed off and saddened at the same time, which is a first.

When I continued to the exit all I heard was Gary and Susan arguing.

"See what you did you dummy? Now I've lost my best friend all because you can't learn for crap!"

"You did it as well Gary," Susan said making the worst attempt to play the "blame game."

"What did I do? It was all you,"

And from there until I turned eleven I never talked or spoken to them. I tuned into a loner and never had any other friends. I guess that was the decision that I made really.

Wow. I never uploaded in a long time and I'm so sorry for that. I've been so busy and everything. Forgotten Love is on HIATOUS so that won't be moving anywhere yet. Please enjoy the re-write of my first fanfic. Thanks.
