OK SO I HAVE THIS IDEA... it's kind of angsty in the middle but it has a happy ending :). At the beginning its BurningLeafShipping (kind of?) but it ends in ConflictingShipping. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter One
Leaf's Memory
Leaf recalled the day she met Blue.
She ran to the professor's laboratory, excitement running through her veins. The burst through the double doors to find two boys waiting there, both with eager expressions. They were arguing. She walked up to them, and they both stopped. They blinked at her once, as if they were thinking, who is this? But she just smiled and introduced herself. Their names were Red and Blue. Red seems so sweet, she thought. Whereas Blue seems like a jerk.
Red picked Charmander, and in turn Blue picked Squirtle.
"That leaves me Bulbasaur," Leaf said excitedly. The grass pokémon beamed at her, and she beamed back.
Behind her, the two boys were battling. Leaf sighed and watched as Red became victorious. She took quite a liking to him.
She didn't see either of them for a little while, until that day. It was raining, and it was raining hard. Leaf hugged her poor Bulbasaur to her chest, and she shivered in the cold as she was trudging through the forest.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared. Blue? He smiled at her and tossed her an umbrella. Leaf clumsily caught it and raised it over her head.
"Don't worry, Viridian City is just up ahead, so you're almost out," Blue told her. "You'll be fine. Smell 'ya later." With that he gave her a kind smile and left. Sure enough, Leaf made it to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City.
Blue continued to be a jerk like Leaf had predicted, and over time, she grew closer to Red, but she knew he had it in him. He had given her kind words.
The first kind words.
