Chapter 1: "What's your name?"
"What's your name?"
"Huh?" The toddler girl sitting alone at the swings looked up to see a boy her age.
"What's your name?" The boy repeated.
He smiled, "Everyone has a name."
"I-I'm Haruka…" She kept staring at the boy.
"Haruka, huh?" He took the empty swing beside the girl. "I'm Satoshi! Nice to meet you."
He gave her a smile.
"You seem lonely. Wanna be my friend?"
He offered her his hand, "C'mon, let's go play somewhere!"
The girl took his hand.
The girl peered from her window. She wore a cute white t-shirt and a purple miniskirt, accompanied by purple shoes. Her hair had a unique style, similar to two pig-tails. She saw the boy running from down the road, approaching her home. With a grin, she races down from her room, snagging her yellow knapsack from a hook while shouting to her mother as she opens the door.
She shouts as she leaves the building, "Satoshi's here now!"
Without even time to reply, the girl's mother see's that her daughter has already left.
"Good morning, Sato-kun!" She greets the boy as he caught his breath.
The boy was five years old, one year older than she was. He had a wild hairstyle, tied by a red bandana with a pattern of a Pokeball on it. He wore a black t-shirt, and jean shorts, as well as sandals with a noticeable blue and black pattern. The boy's face was almost always showing a toothy grin.
"Haru-chan!" The boy chuckled a little, "So you ready to go?"
She giggled back in reply, "Of course! Where are we going today?"
The two children began to walk towards a field and chat side by side.
"There's this forest just outside of Pallet, and it's huge!" The little boy exaggerated.
"We're gonna go an' find some Pokémon there!"
The girl named Haruka smiled. "Sounds fun!"
Satoshi's smile returned, "Alright then, let's GO!"
Both Satoshi and Haruka raced off towards a small forest of trees not far from the esteemed Professor Oak's lab.
