Pokemon Adventures: LeafGreen

Chapter 1: Beginnings of a Beautiful Partnership

~(oOoOo)~

Pallet Town ~

"Oh I'm gonna be so late!" Leaf said as she ran out the door of her home. Quickly opening the gate around her yard, and closing it, she made a dash down the road towards the Pokemon Lab.

"Good morning Leaf, off to see Professor Oak today?" One of the female neighbor's asked seeing her coming towards their house.

Leaf turn her head to face a brunette-haired woman. "I'm sorry Ms. Satoshi but I got to run, gonna be late to see Professor Oak about my first pokemon." Leaf said as she ran by.

"Leaf if you could tell Red to come see me before he leaves, he ran out the door this morning in a hurry before I could even talk to him." Ms. Satoshi yelled so Leaf would hear her.

Leaf just waved her hand at Ms. Satoshi. "Don't worry I'll make sure he does." Leaf said in the distance.

Shortly after Leaf came upon the Pokemon Lab building and stopped at the doors panting to catch her breath. The doors opened and Leaf looked up to see Gary Oak holding a Squirtle. He spotted her immediately and smirked. "Heh, look who decided to show up."

Leaf blushed in embarrassment and glared at him. "And I see you already choose your starter before I could get here."

Gary laughed. "Yea well first comes, first served." He said and started to leave but stopped suddenly. "By the way, Daisy said she wanted to see you before you leave, don't know what for." Gary then left quickly without saying any else.

Leaf watch him leave and turned back to the pokemon lab making her way inside to see Red with a Charmander in his arms talking to Professor Oak. Professor Oak spotting her, smiled. "Leaf, it's good of you to make it, I have a pokemon for you if you don't mind taking what's the last one I have left." He said.

"I don't mind." Leaf answered.

"Hi Leaf!" Red said seeing his friend.

"Hi Red, I see you got charmander for your starter." Leaf said petting the little fire lizard on the head.

"Char..." Charmander made a sort of purr-like growl in it's throat liking the gentle petting it was receiving.

"Yea I choose him cause of my name." Red explained beaming brightly.

"Well if you have Charmander and Gary has Squirtle that must mean that the last pokemon is Bulbasuar." Leaf stated.

Leaf knew this because before she started her journey she made sure to know everything she could about what she was getting into, even the starter pokemon that Professor Oak usually gave out. Although she didn't get to choose first or even second, Bulbasuar was a very good starter to start off with.

"You saw Gary?" Red asked.

"Yea right after he left, we had a short not so pleasant chat before he ran off." Leaf replied turning to Professor Oak as he walked over to her after getting something.

"Well, Leaf I have a Pokedex here for you and Bulbasuar." He said handing her the red pokedex and a pokeball. "The Pokedex is a invention of mine in order for you to get data on pokemon you may catch on your journey."

Leaf smiled and looked down at the device. "Don't worry I'll gets all the data on the pokemon I find for you Professor." She than looked down at the pokeball and held it out to allow her new pokemon out. Once out Bulbasuar blinked confused and looked around, his eyes landing on Leaf.

Leaf crouched down in front of him and held up her pokedex to get his information. "Bulbasuar the seed pokemon. A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon." From the looks of it Bulbasuar even has the ability overgrow with would come in handy in future battles, and also had the moves Tackle and Growl.

"Hello there, my name is Leaf. I hope we can become friends and have a wonderful journey together." Leaf smiled.

Bulbasuar blink once staring into Leaf's eyes as if to studying her. "Bulba!" Bulbasuar said happily and jump onto Leaf making her fall over as Bulbasuar cuddled into her chest. It seemed the seed pokemon had taken a liking to the brunette instantly.

Leaf giggled as she hugged her new friend and very first partner on her journey.

"Would you like to give him a nickname?" Professor Oak asked.

Leaf stop giggling and held up Bulbasuar. "To be honest I was gonna choose Bulbasuar from the beginning and already thought of a name for him." She said winking at the seed pokemon. "How do you like the name Phlox*, I think is the perfect name for my first partner." Leaf smiled.

"Bul-Bulba" Bulbasuar said happily liking his new nickname.

Oak smiled seeing the beginnings of one beautiful partnership between the seed pokemon and the brunette girl.

*A type of flower meaning a good partnership and harmony. In the Language of Flowers it means "Our souls are united" or "we think alike". It was commonly used in celebrations of union, such as weddings, family gatherings and working together for a common goal. According to folklore, planting it in the garden encourages family unity and harmony. [I like it cause it symbolizes Leaf's and Phlox(Bulbasuar) partnership as they travel through Kanto together. Leaf believes that both her and Phlox will have a great partnership on their quest through Kanto.]

Ahh I know in the game you fight your Rival (Gary) but I wanted to kinda just follow Origins at the beginning here. Besides this story is not perfect, it's mostly what I can remember from the game which I haven't played since last year. I also hope I didn't make them sound OOC, I was a little worried about Gary not being as rude as he needed to with Leaf but oh well.

Question time! Who's your favorite starter?

Bulbasuar

Squirtle

Charmander

To be honest I love all three of these pokemon but in the game's I usually go for Charmander cause I like the challenge it gives to struggle with the first two gym's if you choose it, being that you have to have other pokemon to catch if you want to get past them as well. Although I have done playthroughs with the other two before.

P.S. Again pokemon are open for suggestion, this goes for Red's and Gary's team as well throughout the story. (I'll have it where there not always the same pokemon on the team everytime Leaf meets them but the pokemon she'll see them have at least once or twice until I get a good team for them closer to the end of the story.)
