Well, I'm back with another story! This contains OldRivalShipping ( I think the shipping names fits them quite well in this.)

This story is based off the prologue of the manga Last Game. It was about how this new girl kept beating this arrogant kid, and the arrogant kid wanted to make the girl fall in love with him and then reject her when she did. Sadly, the manga guy made that prologue that and the main story is something else T.T It's not a bad thing, but I would have loved to read about it T.T

So this is Regular old Gary x Stoic! Leaf. ( or Game Leaf, since the protagonist never talks in the games. But Leaf talks in this xD)

I DON'T OWN POKEMON. Title of story may change later. I guess this is kind of AU..?

AND I DON'T OWN THE COVER PIC.

"Class, come in," said a blonde lady, opening the door for the crowd of children waiting outside. The shrieking kids pushed and shoved each other to squeeze through the narrow doorway.

"Form a line! Form a line!" the blonde teacher yelled over the chaos, blocking the entrance so no one would get through. The children tried to shove past her, but were thrown back into the raging crowd.

"It's Gary Oak!" a young girl screamed loudly, catching everyone's attention. Kids stopped what they were doing and a chorus of 'Gary Oak' exploded through the hallways.

An eleven year-old boy stood alone next to the flock of children. He had spiky auburn hair with bright judging green eyes. "Make way, " he said in an arrogant tone," Gary Oak is here!"

Immediately, the crowd of children split in half. They wordlessly stared at Gary with awe as he strolled through them.

"Thank you," the teacher whispered as the young boy strode through the door. Gary gave her a nonchalant nod and went to his seat, a line of children following behind him. He plopped down in the chair and hoisted his feet up on the desk. His classmates surrounded him, their faces full of admiration for the boy.

Cue the compliments. He thought to himself, glancing at everyone's faces with a bored expression. It would be another regular day for Gary Oak.

"Gary, you're so cool!"

"Gary, I want to be just like you!"

"Gary, you're so handsome!"

"Gary, you're so smart!"

"I know I am," Gary replied repeatedly, his lips curling into a smirk. Even though he heard all of this every day, he still welcomed the comments into his brain, letting them boost his ego.

The teacher walked to her desk and pulled out a stack of papers. Gary glanced at the papers, a knowing smile forming on his face. He raised his hand in the air and made a shooing gesture at the kids, who immediately scurried back to their seats.

"Thank you Gary!" the teacher said and shuffled through the papers."Well, for the tests you guys took yesterday, only one person got a perfect score!"

Gary felt eyes bore into him from all directions. With a smug looked on his face, he rose up from his chair and approached the teacher's desk. The teacher beamed at him." Gary Oak was the only person again! Expected from the grandson of Professor Oak! Everyone should try to be like Gary."

The students clapped and whistled at the boy as he made his way back with his test paper in his hands. Praise was thrown at him from all angles, making the boy smirk. Gary sat in his chair and leaned back, placing his legs on his desk. I am the best in the class. One day I gonna grow up to be just like Gramp, except better looking. He thought to himself as he watched his classmates go up and get their grades.

Gary slowed to a stop by the gym teacher, the crisp autumn breeze cooling him down from running laps.

"You finished first again, Gary! You're a prodigy, Gary. A prodigy! " the gym teacher praised, clapping his hands together.

"Thanks coach," the brunet replied blankly, staring at a golden-colored leaf that was twirling around in the air after losing its home in a tree. School is so boring and repetitive. Wish something exciting would happen. He thought to himself, not knowing that later on, his life would forever change.

"Gramps! Guess what I got on my test!" Gary yelled as he swung the door open to his grandfather's lab. His grandfather was none other than Professor Oak, the old man who was rich and famous for his studies.

Normally, the lab would have just been filled with strange big white machines, the occasional assistant, and his grandpa working in a corner of the white room.

Normally.

This time, a young girl with long brown hair and light brown eyes stood in the room next to woman that looked like an older version of her. The young girl wore a simple white jacket over a pair shorts, something Gary never saw the girls in his class wear. She looked… really plain and boring.

Professor Oak motioned him to come closer. "Gary! Come over here. I want you to meet Leaf and her mother." The boy walked over to his grandpa and took a better look at the girl now known as Leaf. The girl's face was void of any emotion, as she stared blankly back at Gary.

"Aww, isn't he cute?" Leaf's mother cooed. She had dark brown hair and her face was filled with warmth, unlike her daughter. "Say hi, Leaf!"

The girl glanced at her mother and then at the boy across from her. Gary raised an eyebrow as he watched the girl's pink lips part slightly. "Hi," she said in a quietly in a monotone.

Well that was pretty anti-climatic. Losing all interest of the girl across from him, Gary looked up at his grandpa." Well, whatever. I'm gonna go home now, Gramps." With that said, he turned around and ran off, slamming the laboratory door behind him.

"Oh wait Gary-"Professor Oak called, flinching as he heard the thud of the door slamming. He sighed and turned back to Leaf and her mom. "I'm terribly sorry… My grandson can be a bit…rude."

"Class, we have a new student today!"

Gary blinked at the teacher, his cheek in the palm of his hand and his elbow resting on his desk. Another student in the class wouldn't matter to him. It would just be another person that would soon admire him.

"Come in Leaf!"

Leaf? That sounds familiar. Gary mused, turning his attention to the door. The door jiggled open, and a girl with long brown hair walked in. She stood next to the teacher, staring at the class with a stoic gaze. She looks familiar… Gary lifted up his head slightly from his palm, studying the new girl curiously. Oh. It's the girl from yesterday. He rested his cheek in his hands again, his curiosity disappearing in a flash.

"You can sit in the empty seat over there," the teacher said, pointing at a desk located at by the corner of the room. Gary's green eyes followed her movement as she made her way to the back of the room. It was a fitting place for a girl who wouldn't stick out at all.

A couple days passed with Leaf making no significant difference in the class. Those who tried to talk to her were turned off by her cold demeanor, so she didn't have any friends. During lunch she would sit by herself, silently eating her food. No one payed any attention to her, and it almost seemed like she wasn't even there. Gary was one of one of those who didn't acknowledge her, until that one day.

"Class," the teacher announced, bringing up a stack of papers."We had only one student get everything correct!" All eyes fell on Gary, who smirked in response. The test had been pretty hard, but he was sure he had gotten everything right. He was Gary Oak.

" It was…"

Gary rose up from his chair, ready to walk up when he heard his name.

"Leaf!"

Students gasped and began whispering to one another, sneaking glances at Gary. The young boy's green eyes stared incredulously at Leaf walk up to the teacher. Leaf?! The plain girl beat me?! No this….this can't be true…There's gotta be a mistake…

"Gary, come on up!" the teacher called, bringing the boy out of his thoughts. Gary walked up to the teacher's desk, watching nervously at the woman's pale hands pick up his paper. It has to be a mistake… Gary thought as he grabbed his paper from the woman.

His jaw dropped wide open as he gawked at the paper he was holding in his shaking hands. "N-N-NINETY SEVEN POINTS?!" the screeched. "I-Is this a mistake?! How did I get ninety seven?!"

The woman smiled half-heartily."You got two questions wrong, Gary. I'm sorry, maybe next time you'll get a perfect score."

Gary huffed and stormed back to his seat, feeling eyes bore into him. This time he didn't feel proud about the attention he was getting; he felt embarrassed. And Gary Oak never got embarrassed. Fuming, he whipped his head around to Leaf, who was staring blankly at the front of the room with no signs of any emotions on her face. The young boy clenched his fits as even more anger bubbled up inside of him. The girl had just appeared in his life, passed his test score and didn't even seem to care that she did! Gary snorted and turned back around. I'll get her in gym… I'll beat her!

Gary stopped his jog and smirked as his classmates began coming behind him. He didn't see the new girl anywhere.

"W-Wow… Gary… You're amazing!" q boy said in between breathes.

"Gary is good looking, smart and athletic!"a girl shouted loud enough for him to hear. The group of girls from where the voice came from squealed, noticing the boy looking at them. Gary smirked and scanned the grassy field. Leaf was sitting near him by a low hill that surrounded the field like a ring on a finger.

Gary approached Leaf, and looked behind him to see a bunch of kids following him. He glared at them and dismissed them with a wave of his hand. Dejected, the kids trudged away. He sighed and turned around to the sitting brunette. "Hey, new girl."

The brunette stared past him.

Gary's eye twitched. "I said, hey new girl!"

Leaf yawned.

"Are you deaf?! I said something to you new girl! You have the guts to ignore me?"

"I have a name, you know," Leaf said in a quiet yet firm voice.

Taken aback by the girl suddenly talking, Gary struggled to find words to reply back. "W-Whatever, new girl," he said after a couple seconds, thinking that if he called her by her name it would mean that he lost to her again." Aren't ya gonna run?"

No reply.

Gary clenched and unclenched his fist; this girl was really getting on his nerves! "Fine, Leaf," he growled, "aren't ya gonna run?"

"She already did! Amazingly, she beat you by a couple seconds!" the gym teacher exclaimed, popping out of nowhere.

Gary blinked. "No way. This girl?"

The man nodded his head way! She was surprisingly fast." A group of kids yelling at each other caught his attention and he ran over to them, blowing his whistle loudly.

I must have not seen her because I kept looking back for her! Gary glared at Leaf, lowering his head a bit to make his gaze more intimidating under the shadow of his bangs. "Just who do you think you are?!"

"I'm Leaf," she replied simply, not fazed by his glowering. Which frustrated him even more.

"D-Don't get smart with me! I'm the grandson of THE Professor Oak!" he said, his scowl turning into a smirk. Anyone who talked back to him almost immediately worshiped him when he said that.

"So?"

Gary was rendered speechless again. He gawked at Leaf's calm and emotionless face, feeling his face suddenly get very hot. "So?" he repeated, still flabbergasted." So? I-I'm the grandson of Professor Oak!"

The girl nodded her head slowly.

"A-Aren't you impressed by that? That I'm the grandson of Professor Oak?"

She shook her head. "That's your grandfather's success. It has nothing to do with yours."

Gary's eye widened with surprise. This girl keeps making me really confused and stuff! The nerve of her… Gary took a deep breath; he didn't want this girl to see him lose his cool. "Y-You suddenly move in and think you're all better than me, don't you?"

The girl shrugged her shoulders, "Your grandpa was about to tell you that I was moving here, but then you ran off. So I didn't suddenly move in. You would have known if you listened."

"W-Why can't you act like a normal girl!?" Gary spat and ran down the hill as quick as he could. Kids soon flocked towards him, bombarding him with words. He could make out a particular question though:

"Who was that girl you were with?"

"My new rival," he replied, shooting Leaf a glare through the crowd.

After school ended, Gary was getting on his bike until he noticed a certain girl walk past him. He smirked and took his time sitting on the seat and adjusting himself to make sure he was comfortable. Then he pedaled toward Leaf, who was a good couple meters away from him. Quickly he caught up to her and slowed his pedaling down.

"Hey, poor girl. I can see you can't even afford a bike," he taunted. Leaf paid him no heed and kept walking.

Even when I try to make her angry, she makes me angry instead! Gary frowned and pedaled his bike faster. Before he zipped past Leaf, he shouted," Smell ya later, Leaf!"

He slowed to stop at the front of his large house. It was the biggest house in their small town, having big windows, a huge door, three stories and three balconies; one for each level of the house. One day, when Gary became even more rich and famous, he was going to buy an even bigger house. Maybe the biggest one in the world.

"I'll become a billionaire!" Gary yelled to the sky. He took his bike into the garage and came back outside. Footsteps echoed behind him on the gravel and he turned his head around.

"Gah, it's you! And you're stalking me too?!"

Leaf blinked up at him from the other side of the road. "I live here," she said pointing at the house in front of her. It small compared to Gary's house, built with pieces of wood painted white and topped with a red roof. A single balcony was made from the second floor, and was probably the most extravagant thing on her house. It didn't even have a chimney!

"You live in that tiny thing?! HAH! Let me go see your house!" Gary said and rushed over to his classmate. Now standing next to her, he noticed that she was taller than him by at least two inches. Great. She's even taller than me.

"You're seeing my house right now," Leaf replied.

"D-Don't try to be smart with me!" Gary snapped and walked up to the door of Leaf's house. He drew back his hand and knocked on her door. When no reply came he turned back around to the brunette."Isn't anyone home at your house?"

"My mom is at work and my dad and little sister are dead," Leaf said bluntly, her face deadpanning.

The boy stared into her blank eyes; it was always so hard to tell what she was thinking! He scratched the back of his head, unsure of how to reply. It would be hard to image how life would be like without Daisy, his older sister( despite how annoying she was) or his father that was constantly traveling. But this girl seemed… indifferent about having some of her family member dead.

"Tch. How do you say something like that without any emotion?" Gary asked.

"Because I have to grow up quickly to help my mom. I don't want her to keep worrying about me."

She always catches me off guard! "W-Well, okay. Um… smell ya later!" Gary said and darted to his house, closing the door behind him.

A couple more months went by, with Leaf still being friendless as ever with her cold demeanor and Gary always at the center of attention. Leaf would still beat him in test grades, sports and height, which pissed off the young boy very much.

"Hey Leaf!" Gary yelled one day after school. The brunette girl stopped packing things in her bag and looked up.

"I bet you thought the test exam for Pewter Academy was pretty hard! It was easy for me." Gary bragged, crossing his arm with a cocky smirk on his face.

Leaf blinked at him."Pewter Academy? I'm going to the local middle school here in Pallet Town."

"I thought so- WAIT, WHAT?!" Gary practically screamed, his eyes the size of saucers. "You're entering that dinky old school?!"

Leaf nodded." Going to Pewter would be a hassle. I don't want to be too far away from my mom and make her worry about me."

Gary's heart sank into his chest. That's funny… it feels like there's a bowling ball inside me. He coughed, in attempt to get rid of it. When it didn't go away, he gasped. Hold on… I'm not feeling SAD about being apart from this girl am I? No, that can't be… At least now, I'll be at the top of that school without her bothering me. "Well," he croaked and cleared his throat," well, I guess we won't be…seeing each other much now."

"Oh… I suppose that's true." The corners of Leaf's pink lips lifted slightly upwards, making her look actually...kind of pretty.

Gary felt heat rush into his cheeks. Gah, what's wrong with me?! He thought angrily, slapping his cheeks (which made them redder.)" W-Well. I-I'm not going to miss you or anything, so smell ya later!" Gary said and darted out the door, sneaking one last glance at the brunette before leaving.

Hold on. Gary stopped in the hallways, thinking to himself. We were talking about how we wouldn't see each other and then she smiled. That wouldn't mean that… She's actually happy about us not seeing each other?! Gary ran a hand through his hair and stormed off. I'm not going to miss my rival at all!

This will probably be 5 chapters most likely. Maybe more or maybe less. Anyways, review please! They give me motivation to update faster :D

Happy Holidays!
