The sound of a three headed brown feathered bird known as Dodrio was heard as the morning sun rise over a town known as Pallet Town. The town of Pallet was the hometown of the ex-Kanto champion trainer Red, where he was born and raised throughout his early childhood. That is until he reached the age of 11 where he set off on a Pokemon journey with his lifelong companion Pikachu.
Not too long ago, Red has recently came back from his trip from the Hoenn region after leaving Mt. Silver for three years. During his time at the Hoenn region, he met a young girl named May Sapphire who was just a newbie trainer when he met her and tagged along with her as they travel around Hoenn together. Red help train May to become a great Pokemon trainer and doing so help her and her Pokemon become the champion of the Hoenn region, which May declined to be champion since it would make her lose her privilege to travel anywhere in the world.
After the journey through Hoenn was done, May decided to go to Kanto with Red and stay with him and his mother Violet for she wanted to have more adventures with Red and their friends whether there are short or long adventures and encounter other people and Pokemon during those adventures. With Red around, it was never a dull moment for events seem to happen around him whether or not he expects them to happen or not. Red and May also grew a close relationship during their time at Hoenn for they consider each other as brother and sister despite not being blood related, but they like to show how close they are like a family as Red looks at May as his little sister and May looking up to Red as her big brother.
Over at Red's house, the Pallet town trainer was sleeping peacefully on his soft bed with his partner Pikachu cutely sleeping on his lap as they sleep until their alarm clock went off to start the day. May herself was also sleeping peacefully in the guest room that Red's mother offer her to stay while living her and her son Red for her stay in Kanto. Red's mom, Violet, was already up for she was a morning person than her son and was downstairs preparing breakfast for Red, Pikachu, and May when they wake up from their sleep and was whistling a soft tune.
May had a smile on her face as she sleep for Red was gonna show her around the Kanto region and show her the spots he trained at during his Pokemon journey and maybe capture a few Pokemon she has yet to see in the Kanto region.
Most of Red's and May's Pokemon were all at Professor Oak's ranch where all of them are resting being taken care of by Oak and his many assistance. The only Pokemon Red and May have with them is Pikachu and Blaziken, May's starter Pokemon. Professor Oak and his assistants were delighted hear that Red and May caught a batch of Hoenn Pokemon that made them eagerly want to study them for they don't often get other region Pokemon and Professor Oak learning more about the Mega Stones and Mega Ring that Red gain info during his time in Hoenn.
As of right now, everything was peaceful and quite as it should during the morning. However all that is gonna change starting at another house that was besides Red's home. Across from Red's home was his childhood friend and rival, Blue Oak, Professor Oak's grandson who he can't remember his name from time to time and also the Viridian Gym Leader taking over after Giovanni when Red defeated Team Rocket three years ago. Blue was sleeping quietly with that usual cocky grin on his face and sniffed the air heavily as he slept.
Blue was known for his cocky attitude and dashing good looks that makes a girl scream by his unrealistic orange brown spiky hair that he likes to flicks at them. Even though Red has bested him by beating him in the Kanto league, Blue still strived to be the best by being the toughest gym leader in the Kanto region by having a diverse team of Pokemon instead of having a one type theme like all the other gym leaders. Hardly no one ever beats Blue and get the Earth badge from him just to show he wasn't as a pushover like the other gym leaders.
Blue was the guy who pour the milk into the bowl before the cereal and stare into your eyes as he ate it.
Unlike Red, Blue didn't have a alarm clock for he a much different method of waking up in the morning. Coming from the tall grass of route one was a large groups of people heading towards Pallet Town. They were mostly teen girls as they had flags and banners with them. It was Blue's fangirls coming to see him wake up from his slumber. The group of females march over to Blue's house and waited near the balcony for it was that time of the month.
The sound of Blue's fangirls shook the ground heavily as it made Red, Pikachu, and May wake up from their slumber. Red and Pikachu had a frown on their face while May was shook off her bed by the shaking and started pancing as she exited out her guest room to Red's room.
"Pika." Pikachu said, sadly as he rubbed his tired face.
Red looked at the ceiling with a annoyed face, "I swear! I thought Blue would stop doing this by the time I came back from Hoenn. At least it's not happening 2:15 A.M. in the morning this time." He said.
May then bursted in Red's room with a scared face, "Red! Take cover! Somebody is making their Pokemon use earthquake in the town." She said.
Red just sigh in frustration and rubbed his eyes for he knew what was the cause of the shaking. "It's not a earthquake May." Red responded grumpily.
"It's not a earthquake? Then what's causing it?" May wonder.
The trainer got off his bed and pointed out his bedroom window. "That! That's what causing it!"
May tilted her head and walked over to Red's window to see the problem. Looking out the window, May saw a large group of fangirls waiting outside Blue's house with banners and signs.
"What is that? Why are they here like this?" May asked.
"They're here because they're Blue's alarm clock." Red answered looking at the window with May.
"Seriously?" May raised an eyebrow.
"Come on let's go downstairs and get breakfast. We don't need to see this." Red said, annoyed as May shrugged her shoulder and follow him downstairs.
As Red's alarm clock went off as it strike eight o' clock, the group fangirls began to scream out loud as they started to chant Blue's name out loud. Because of the loud chants it woke Blue up as he kept that grin on his face and quickly jumped out of bed by doing a Kip-Up trick and landed on his feet perfectly.
There stood Trainer Blue as he stretched his arms and legs with grace as his fangirls kept calling out his name. Blue sigh happily as he walked over to the balcony of his house for he didn't want his fangirls to keep waiting any longer.
Blue open his window door as he set foot in his balcony looking at his fangirls with a cocky grin. "Hey ladies, sorry to keep you waiting. I was sleeping until I heard all of your lovely voices calling my name." Blue said.
"Ahhhh!" All of the girls gave their fangirlish screams at sight of Blue.
Blue got in a position and flicked his orange brown hair with fingers with a lovely look in his face. This caused the group of girls to scream even harder for they like that sorta stuff from guys like Blue.
Blue would continue his show as he would stretch his body and flick his hair more in front of his fangirls, who throw flowers and kisses at him. Blue just love the attention he was getting from his fangirls that he laughed.
"Okay girls that's enough. I gotta start the day now. Come back again next morning for the next show. Got it!" He said, clicking his tongue at them and made them all faint in the ground.
With his show over, Blue randomly did a backward flip as the door to his balcony closed up. Entering back into his room, Blue quickly change into his regular clothes that was his brown pants and black jacket with the white fuzzy fur as the hoodie.
Blue did a random cart wheel and stood in front of his mirror where he took a hand full of hair gel and made his unrealistic spiky hair more unrealistic. Afterwards he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and put on his fancy cologne that he always puts everyday.
Blue smiled at his reflection, "I tell ya. It's hard for someone like me to be this good looking. Red may be a better trainer than me, but I'm way more good looking than he is." He said, giving a wink to his reflection.
Not long after, Blue headed downstairs by sliding on the stair handles and jumped off into the air as he perfectly flipped over to his kitchen where he landed on a chair near the kitchen table.
In the kitchen with Blue was a tall woman with long brown hair and wearing a green house dress with a white hairband. It was his older sister Daisy Oak, preparing breakfast for both herself and her little brother Blue.
"Morning sis! What's for breakfast?" He said, in chill tone.
"Good Morning Blue! I see your doing your random backflips that you normally can't do. I sense your feeling extra happy today." Daisy said, setting down a plate of food for her brother.
"I am in a good mood today. Don't why though. Could be because I'm loved by every girl here in Kanto that sees me." Blue said, with a smug face.
"Oh be real Blue. Not every girl has the hots for you." Daisy said, before taking a sip of her coffee.
"Yeah right, what doesn't want a piece of me? I'm the best good looking guy. I got girls lining up to be with me." Blue pointed at himself.
"Oh really?" Daisy said. "How come you still haven't gotten yourself your own lady friend?" She teased.
"Hey! That's only because the opportunity to have all these women around me will be gone and I don't want that to happen." Blue defended himself.
Daisy nodded her head in shame, "You know Blue, I'm hoping someday that you would find that special girl in your life that can handle that attitude of yours and make you a better person. Look at Red with Misty, he's gotten a bit mature because of her." Daisy hoped.
"Well that's because Red's a softy and loser." Blue mocked.
Daisy just rolled her eyes at her little brother. "Well anyways, after your done with breakfast. Grandpa wants you to head over to his lab for something before you head out to Viridian City." She explained.
Blue scratched his head, "I wonder what Gramps is calling me in for? I bet it's something involving his research." He said.
"Probably, or maybe he's calling you in for he wants to try to remember your name." Daisy said.
Blue sigh in frustration, "Yeah, that could also be it." He said before taking a bite of his toast.
Moments Later
After having breakfast with his sister, Blue was making his way to his grandpa's Pokemon lab. He had his hands in his pocket as he whistle out a catchy tune with a his cocky smirk. The gym leader took a moment to sniff the air and breath in the morning air on this bright and sunny day, Blue was surprise to see Red, Pikachu, and May heading in the same direction he was going. Blue walked over to the two trainers with hands out his pocket and placed on them one of them on his hip.
"Hey you two!" Blue called out.
Red and May looked to see Blue heading towards them and gave him a angry faces for they were still upset about what happened in the morning. "Hey Blue." Both Red and May said, blandly.
"So where are you two heading just now?" Blue asked.
"To your grandpa's lab. He said we wants us to be there when he called my mom." Red explained.
"Really? He wants the two of you to come over?" Blue said, questioning his grandpa's request.
"I wonder why he's calling for all three of us." May said, rubbing her chin.
"Well whatever it is, I'm gonna be the first to know before you two do!" Blue said, running off.
"Oh no you don't! Come on May we can't let him be there first before us!" Red told the young trainer.
"Right!" May nodded as she and Red starting running.
"I swear! Blue likes to make competitions out of everything against me! Yet I can let him win because he'll keep bragging about it for as long as I live." Red said, upset.
Blue looked back as he ran to see Red and May coming after him. Red and May were having trouble due to how tired from waking up in the morning because of Blue's alarm clock. Blue let out a loud mocking laugh he was getting close to the door his grandpa's lab.
Before could reach his hand on the door knob, Blue stopped dead in his track that made him fall because Red and May crash into him as they made a dogpile. The reason why Blue stopped dead in his track was because Professor Oak open door before they enter in.
Red, Blue, and May got up from the ground and looked up at the professor, who was looking down them with a smile. "Oh good! Everyone is here." He said, cheerful. "Red, May, and my grandson….umm…."
"Blue." Red coughed out.
"Oh yes, Blue." Oak said, rubbing the back of his head.
"So what are you calling us in for today gramps?" The gym leader asked.
"Do you a new Pokemon that you want to show us?!" May said, excitedly.
"Or do you need us to go to a new region for information?" Red added in.
Oak shook his head, "Nope it's neither of those. Come inside I'll show you." He said, welcoming the trio into his lab.
The three walked to see Professor Oak's many lab assistant working on their computers,, outside on the Pokemon ranch feeding and brushing the Pokemon there, and some trying to heal some injured Pokemon with berries and potions.
They came to a stop when Professor Oak stopped walking and stood behind a mysterious person. "I would you three to welcome and meet my new lab assistance who will be helping me and the others here." Oak said.
Professor Oak then stood a side and reveal a teen girl with red and white running shoes, red skirt, a blue sleeveless tank top shirt, two black wristbands, brown eyes and hair, and finally a white hat with a half semi pokeball symbol in pink. The girl stood there smiling at Red, May, and Blue as she had her hands behind her back for she was a bit shy at the moment.
"Everyone I like to introduce you to Leaf. She's from Celadon City. Leaf here was recently sent off from the Game Freak company over at Celadon City seeing that she has a much more of a opportunity here than there since they weren't doing much with her anyways. Say hello to everyone Leaf." Oak smiled at the teen girl.
"Please to meet the three of you." She said, giving a bow. "I'm Leaf, Leaf Green is my full name, but you can just call me Leaf."
"I wanted to introduce you to her for I want to her to be welcome with people around her age since almost my other lab assistants are quite a bit older than her." Oak explained. "I hope you three make her feel home. She's gonna help do research around the Sevii Islands from time to time."
Red and May gave welcoming smiles as Red was the first one to speak. "Nice meeting ya Leaf. I'm Red and this is my partner Pikachu." He said, introducing himself and his mouse friend.
"Pi Pikachu!" He greeted.
Leaf smiled, "Say no more Red. I already know who you are since you became the Kanto champion. People talk a lot about you."
The female trainer looked at May, "Though you on the other hand I'm not familiar with?" Leaf said a bit curious.
"Hey I'm May! I'm actually from Hoenn. I'm just staying around Kanto with Red for a while." May said.
Leaf's eyes widen by the news, "Wow you came all the way from Hoenn. That's interesting. Do you have any Hoenn Pokemon with you at the moment. I like to see them." She said, interested.
May nodded, "Yeah I do, right now all I have with me is my Blaziken. The others are at Oak's lab." She explained.
"I look forward to seeing them." Leaf smiled at the young trainer.
While Red and May were talking with Leaf to get to know, Professor Oak notice that his grandson has yet to say anything to Leaf since introducing her. Oak looked at Blue who still stood there with a frozen face as he looked at Leaf from the distance.
Oak walked over to his grandson and waved his hand in front of his face. "Blue, are you okay? You haven't said a word or sniff anything on that matter." The old man said, getting worried about his grandson as he walked away.
As Oak was trying to get grandson's attention. In Blue's eyes everything around him became a blur and moved in slow motion for the only thing that was visible was the sight of Leaf.
Blue felt his heart beating fast and his temperature raising as he started to sweat a bit that he was tugging his jacket to keep himself cool.
Blue's eyes sparkled the more he looked at Leaf with that gracious smile she was giving to Red and May as she spoke to them. In Blue's head, a cheesy 80's love started playing in his head.
Though the music was faint in Blue's head, it could actually be heard outside from his head. This caught everybody's attention as Red, May, and Leaf stopped talking as they heard song and we're curious to where the music was coming from as they looked around the area of the lab.
"You guys hear that?" May said, listening carefully to to the fainted music as she darted her eyes left and right.
"It's a little fainted but I could hear it. It sounds like a song from Huey Lewis & The News. I could recognize that voice of his." Red said, listening to the song carefully.
"Oh I know this song! 'Do you believe in Love' I think it's called." Leaf said, happily as she started to tap her foot.
"Ah nothing like good old 80's music. This reminds me when I met Blue's grandmother." Oak said, remembering his youth as he rubbed his chin.
Oak then looked at his grandson, "Speaking of believing. Blue I do believe you haven't said a word or said hi to Leaf. Leaf, I like you to meet my grandson Blue." He said.
Oak stepped aside as Leaf, who stopped talking with Red and May and headed towards the gym leader with a friendly smile. Leaf stood close as the music in Blue's head finally came to a stop.
"Woah, the music stopped." May said, still looking for the source of the song.
Leaf extended to the gym leader, "Hey nice to meet you. I'm Leaf." She said, friendly as she can be.
Blue did nothing for the only thing he could feel his heart pumping on inside chest so hard as if his heart was ready to burst out. The gym leader tried his best not to blush, but had trouble as he looked into Leaf's brown eyes that he found himself attracted to. Never in Blue's life has he ever met another girl that made him reacted like this for he always kept his cool around them.
The only responded Blue did was fall on his back catching everybody by surprise as Red, Oak, Leaf, and May walked up to him and looked down at him. "Blue! Blue! Are you okay?!" Oak said, shaking his grandson.
Blue with a dizzy face answered backed, "Y-Yeah." He said.
"What just happened?" May wonder.
"I don't know. I never seen something like this ever happen to Blue before. This is a first." Red said.
"I hope it wasn't something I said." Leaf said, feeling a bit worried.
"Blue, you're being rude. Get up and say hello to Leaf." Oak said, looking down at his grandson
As best as he could, Blue slowly stood up to his feet and face the female trainer in front of him once with his heart still pumping. "H-Hey, I'm B-Blue." He said, nervously.
Leaf gave a bow, "Nice to meet ya Blue." She said.
Professor Oak then stepped forward with a smile. "Well now that's settled. Red and May, would you mind spending time with Leaf around Kanto. It would be nice seeing all of you form a friendship together. I'll give your first assignment tomorrow Leaf." He said to the female trainer.
Red nodded his head, "Sure thing, I was gonna show May around Kanto later today and Leaf is welcome to join us. The more the merrier I say." The trainer said as he laughed.
"Yeah! I always like making new friends! I can't wait to show you my Hoenn Pokemon." May said, looking up at Leaf.
"Thanks, I hope we get to be good friends by the end of day. I think I'm gonna like being here in Pallet Town." Leaf smiled.
"Alright then, what about you Blue? Do you wanna hang out with us for a bit before you…" Red stopped talking to notice that Blue was gone from the their sight and the building itself.
"Blue?" Red said.
Everybody looked around the area to see that Blue has completely vanish from their view. "I guess Blue already headed to the Viridian City?" May said.
"But the Kanto gyms don't open until ten. There's like two hours left." Red said, looking at a clock.
"Well that's Blue for ya. I always wanting to get a head start over everyone." Professor Oak laughed out loud.
"I'm sure he'll join us later on." Leaf said, shrugging her shoulder.
With that, Red, May, and their new friend Leaf began to walk together out the building as they waved goodbye to Professor Oak. As the trio walked out of Oak's lab, they are unaware that they being watch by Blue who has yet to go to Viridian City and was hiding by the side of the lab building.
Blue looked at Leaf and quickly blush at sight her and placed his hand on his pumping heart. "What just happened to me? What is this feeling? Why am I sweating? I never sweat!" Blue said to himself. "It has something to do with that new girl."
Blue stood up properly and tidy himself up as he began walking home, "I gotta tell Daisy about this. Maybe she knows how to figure this about. I can't let someone like Red know about this." He said, hoping his older sister has the answer he needs.
