Green was eating alone again, when suddenly, Red's group sat down next to him. He was immediately filled with questions. "How are you so strong? Can you train me? Just who are you?"

Green sighed. "My name is Green Stone. I am from Kanto. After winning the league, I trained for 5 years before setting out again"

"Where?!" they all asked, but Green didn't answer. He just finished eating and went to his room. Red joined in later.

"Hey, we are all going to the Rec room tonight to watch a movie, you should come. It'll give you a chance to open up" said Red. Green just shrugged. Green did not go with them. He stayed behind to read the large history book he packed. He continued reading all through the night, only finally falling asleep at 4:00 in the morning.

The next day was the same as before, people pestering Green about his strength, asking how and where he did it. Again, Green said nothing. Around noon, Blue knocked on his room door.

"Hey, do you mind if I stay a bit? All the boys are playing cards and the girls are talking about god knows what. I'd hang out with Yellow, but she's at the Safari Zone with Red".

Green just shrugged and Blue entered. "I don't think I've ever introduced myself." explained Blue. "My name is Blue Leafgreen. I'm from Kanto, just like Red, Yellow, and you." Green nodded. Then Blue noticed the burnt photo. "If you don't mind me asking, who are the people in that photo?" Green said nothing, but a single tear could be noticed running down his face. Then, Blue understood who they were.

"I lost my parents too." she began. "I don't remember it completely though. I was very young, but remember it clear enough. They both died from disease. Cancer, if I remember correctly." She paused for a moment. "What about you?"

Green said nothing, so Blue decided to leave him alone. However, just when she was about to open the door, Green spoke.

"There was a fire."

Blue turned around. "Excuse me?"

"I was 5 at the time, yet the memory was burned into my head. A fire. Started out with a gas leak. Then my mother turned on the stove and the house went up in flames. Oak managed to get me out in time, but my parents couldn't be saved. They burned alive in there." At this point, Green was crying. He remembered everything. He felt guilty for taking his family, his home, for granted. "Since then, I never had any human friends".

Blue sat down next to him. Listen, all of us are trying to be your friends. Why won't you let us help?"

Green only replied in a whisper. "So I'm not the cause of more pain". Blue both shocked and confused. He didn't say that is sadness, but rather, it sounded like grief and anger. But why?

"You don't have to worry about us" Blue replied. "We're the best of the best!"

Green looked up. "Alright. I'm trusting you all."
