You Love the Game
Hey there guys. So this is my first story, and as my username suggests, I'll be writing only adaptations of different stories, be it from different fandoms or the same. I don't think I'm gonna be writing an original story (I'm terrible at creativity), but I'm really good at doing remakes of stuff, and I like it a lot.
So this story is titled You Love the Game. It is adapted from Falling for the Bad Boy, a Winx Club fanfiction by MusaRiven125. And I'm rewriting it, but I'm making it a Pokemon story, the main shipping being… no, I won't tell you. It will be revealed as the story goes on.
Go ahead, if you would.
Disclaimer: I own only 2% of the plot, and I don't own Falling For The Bad Boy, or Pokemon.

"Bam! I win! Eat my dust, lettuce brain!" the controller dropped from my hands as I zoomed in on my opponent's face.
Drew gaped and his face morphed into a look of shock. "That's impossible!"
I cackled evilly. Because, folks, Drew LOST Asphalt 8 to me. For the first time. And heck, this was my first time playing it!
Aww, poor Drewy.
He was still fuming. "No. No way. Absolutely not. I demand a rematch! Absolutely no one wins me at ASPHALT 8!" His face was starting to turn red.
"How the hell did you win me?! It's your freaking first time, Green!" He pointed an accusing finger at me.
Let me just clear things up here. Drew Hayden, as I knew him, is a horribly egoistic player at Lilycove High. Yes, he's hot, and fortunately, he's my best friend. Well, he's my brother Ash's best friend, but we've become extremely close too, so yes, he's my best friend. He calls me Green because I love it so much! And I may or may not have crushed on him for forever…
But that's beside the point. What matters is that right now, Drew, the boss of Asphalt games, just lost to me, a first timer!
"I hate you." He glared down at me playfully.
I returned with a grin. "But you know you don't, Father Nature."
Drew narrowed his eyes. "Don't you ever call me that again. How many times have I told you not to?" He snatched the remote from my hand and examined it. "There must be a cheating device in here somewhere. Let me see…"
"Hey! Give that back!"
I reached for it, laughing crazily, but he held it out of my reach. And that was bad for me because Drew stands at 6 foot freaking five, while I'm just five foot six. And hell, does he know it, and he uses t to his advantage all the time. Like now.
He was laughing too, and we ended up on the couch, with him sitting down and stretching the remote out of my reach. I huffed and climbed onto his knees, placing my hand on his chest and reaching for the remote.
As I was stretching, I noticed that he had turned very red.
"Um, Drew?"
"W-what?"
"Why are you blushing?" I also noticed that he kept glancing down.
But shit, he was blushing! Why the hell wasn't my phone here?
"Um, Greenie? Your shirt has kinda…"
"Kinda what?"
He looked up, smirking, but the blush was still in place. "I can see your boobs from the way you're on top of me. And I have got to say, they are very big and nice looking and extremely…"
"You corrupted bastard!" I scrambled off him and slapped him in the face, making him rub his cheek in pain. "How dare you!"
Holy shit, this is embarrassing…
A throat being cleared caught my attention, and I looked at the door to see a tall boy looking at me sternly.
I sighed.
Meet Ash Ketchum, my 17-year old twin brother. Yes, not older, because for some reason, he seems to think he's like five years older. Come on! IT's just by seven and a half minutes. He won't let me date while I'm still younger than nineteen…
I would say we sort of look alike. I mean, we have the same eye shape, and nose, and mouth, but he had our dad's black hair while I have my mom's brown hair, and my dad's brown eyes while my mom's green eyes came to me. All in all, you'd only see the resemblance if you looked really closely…
"What's going on here?"
"Ash!" I bounded up to him happily. "Well, I just happened to BEAT DREW at Asphalt 8! How amazing is that?!"
He eyed me.
I gestured wildly to the screen. "LOOK!"
Ash glanced at the screen, his face copying Drew's former one, then he turned to Drew. "DUDE!"
Drew groaned and raised up a finger. "Don't make a big deal about it, okay?"
"But I will! What the hell! My little sister, who literally sucks at video games—"
"HEY!" That wasn't funny!
"—just whupped your ass, bro!" Ash came up to me and high fived me! Boo-yah!
Drew huffed and slumped back into his seat. "Whatever…"
Aww! Drew was upset! I tackled him onto the floor in a hug, rubbing my cheek against his. "Oh come on, Father Nature, don't be mad at me!"
Drew looked away. "I said don't call me that…"
Although, I could have sworn I saw him rubbing his cheek and a small smile on his face.
Huh.
…
"Leaf, honey? We need to go."
I ignored my mom for the millionth time and continued hugging Flannery, my best friend. I sniffed, and tried to wipe my eyes again, but the tears kept coming. Man, I hated Mom so much right now.
This couldn't be happening! I would NOT go back… there!
I let go of Flannery, who was also sobbing. Flannery, I'm so sorry…
"I'm sorry…" I sobbed. "I'm gonna miss you so much!"
"Me too!"
I gave her one last tight hug before her stepfather dragged her away, then I turned to the person I knew would be the most heartbroken.
Drew…
He looked like he was trying to hold in tears, and somehow, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was all my fault.
"Greenie… please don't go." His voice sounded cracked and his eyes were rimmed with red. His cocky demeanor was gone too.
"Drew… I'm so sorry," I mumbled sadly. A fresh wave of tears spilled from my lips and my lips quivered, right before I started full on crying again. "I'll never be the same! It won't be the same without you around…"
It had been a few days since the video game incident, and here we were.
Drew caught me up in his arms. "Shh… it's okay," he kissed my hair.
"No, it's not!"
"LEAF! We need to leave now!" Mom yelled
I rolled my eyes. Bitch. I glanced up at Drew again, and his eyes, just a bit greener than mine, seemed to be fighting a battle. Huh? I'd never seen him like this before.
"I love you, Green."
"I love you, too, Drew." I buried my head in his chest.
"Promise me you'll visit?" He lifted my chin.
"I promise."
Before I knew it, I felt warm breath on my face, and Drew's lips were on mine.
What was he doing? God… my heart. My heart.
It felt like my blood was sprinting through my veins. Drew was kissing me! I couldn't comprehend anything as my head span and I kissed him back.
He finally let go and squeezed me one last time.
"Goodbye, Leaf," he whispered gently.
"Goodbye, Drew," I whispered just as silently, only that his was trying to instill confidence in me, and mine was broken.
With that, I left his warm embrace for the last time, and trudged my way to the car.
…
Right now, I hated mom. A Lot. And I was pissed. For two reasons.
Mom had requested for us to move back to Goldenrod at her office so she could see all her old friends, so that meant we had to leave Hoenn. And DREW, and Flannery, and…
We were going back to my hellhole of a home.
You see, when I was a little girl, around age 8, I was stereotyped as a nerd. You know, the girl who sat in the back of the class, was captivated by lessons, and who hid behind lockers when the hallway was crowded. Glasses, and braces and all. My only friend was Misty, and a popular girl named Veronica.
Then, the next grade, my whole world changed drastically. Because that's when HE came.
Gary Oak.
Immediately he stepped into the school I knew I was in love. With his spiky dark brown hair, mesmerizing chocolate eyes, rosebud pink lips and stunning features, he quickly won over the whole school and became very popular. He was half Spanish, half Cantonese. He hit it off with Ash, too, so they became best friends.
My affection for him increased every single damn day. Up until freshman year, when I was 15. By that time, puberty seemed to have affected everyone except me, but boy had it taken its toll on Gary. He grew more handsome, more popular, more muscular, and taller. He was a bully, but I was still madly in love with him. The only people who knew were Misty and Veronica, and whenever I saw him, I nearly fainted. So I decided. I would vent out my feelings, because it was too much to contain. I was splitting at my seams with adoration for Gary, and I was bursting inside. So I wrote a signed note, expressing my love for him in the most adoring way possible.
Boy, was that a huge mistake. HUGE. Because my whole world came crashing down.
As soon as Gary saw the note, during lunch, when the whole school was present, he got up on a stage, unfolded my letter which had somehow got in his hands, and read it out.
After that, he proceeded, to tell me how disgusting I was, how ugly, and how he would never like someone like me. And he said some other horrible stuff that can't even be uttered. Ash was sick that day, or else he would have pulverized him.
From that day, people, including Gary, started to bully me. And somehow kept it secret from Ash. I was too depressed to tell him about it, anyways.
That year, my mom was transferred to Hoenn. And I went there expecting the same, but then I met Drew and Flannery. And I gradually changed. Ash saw it too, and he was very happy that I was coming out of my shell. I became more girly, got new friends, and had a few boyfriends, but none of them compared to Drew. They were all just to get Drew jealous, but him, being the player he was, didn't even notice. He still treated me normally.
Anyway, puberty did take its toll on me in my two years in Hoenn.
But now? Moving back to Kanto? Sure, I was probs gonna see Misty again, but that useless goat?
I was not ready for this.
So there's your first chapter, people. Hope you liked it, I do, so I'm gonna do some more. Expect it in lowest two days and highest two weeks.
Rate and Review, people. Bye.HALT
