Introduction
"Hmph! I've never seen you around here, girl" a messy haired brunette stood with his arms crossed, obviously unhappy with the presence of someone he's never seen before in "his" town. Sitting in the grass wearing an ivory summer dress was a little, toddler girl, probably around the same age as the grumpy boy. In her lap was a tiny orange chick Pokemon snuggling up and getting cozy in its spot. The girl only smiled towards the boy with the wild hair as she stroked her little companion's head and tiny wings.
"Hi!" was all she said before turning back to her pet, letting her raspberry-brown ponytail swish before the boy's face. The action only made the grumpy kid grumpier, unfortunately. He's been pampered, praised, and spoiled his entire short existence by everyone he saw – besides his raven-haired rival, of course – so this girl wasn't giving him what he was used to getting. Attention. He decided to let that irritation go for the moment because the orange chick Pokemon interested him a little more.
"What is that, anyways, Ponytail?" he asked while attempting to look over her shoulder, trying not to sound too interested. He wouldn't dare make anyone besides himself feel important. "That's a funny looking Pokemon. It's not in my books."
The girl turned her body towards the boy, smiling brighter than before. It was obvious that talking about the strange Pokemon she held excited her greatly.
"Isn't he cute?" she exclaimed proudly, showing off her precious little chick.
'He?' the boy thought, amused. 'It looks like a girl to me.'
"He's my Torchic! My baby!"
Love and happiness laced her words as each syllable rolled off her tongue.
"Torchic?" he repeated, stepping a bit closer for a better look. His gaze landed back on the girl as she began to sing a song. A lullaby, it sounded like. She had a sweet, childish voice that sounded like sugar coating each word. She was very different from most girls he'd known in his five years of life. In fact: she was just like his mom.
"You're not from around here, are you, Ponytail?" he finally asked as she was finishing her last verse.
The girl's slate eyes looked back up into the boy's deep green eyes as she smiled innocently with pride.
"Nope! I'm from far, far away. I'm from Hoenn!" she giggled as her Torchic jumped with excitement from hearing its home region mentioned. Scooping the tiny bird up in her arms, she finally stands, facing the boy completely with her smile that he's gotten used to by now. "I'm Jayleen Moore!"
"Uh…" the boy paused, a little stunned. "I'm Gary. Gary Oak."
