"Do you think it's a boy, or a girl?"
"..."
"Yeah, you're probably right. It's gonna be another guy."
Two eighteen-year-old boys leaned up against a large rock that lied right in the middle of Pallet Town, Kanto. They relaxed in the shade, staring across the street at the large moving truck parked in front of a now-occupied house. That house, which was right in-between both Red and Green's houses, had been empty for months. Although, the tiny town was abuzz when they heard someone had finally bought the place and was moving in today.
Dressed in purple pants and a black, short-sleeve shirt, a boy named Green with dusty-blonde hair narrowed his eyes at the moving truck, nudging the boy next to him with his elbow. "Hey, Red. What do you think the new kid's like?"
Red, the black-haired boy dressed in blue jeans and a red and white jacket, simply stared blankly ahead at the truck. He fiddled with the brim of his hat, re-adjusting his red and white cap.
Green nodded his head, agreeing with Red's unsaid statement. "Yeah, I just hope they like Pokemon. I need at least one person in this town who's actually worthy of battling me!"
Red narrowed his ruby-red eyes at Green, crossing his arms across his chest. He wasn't amused with that.
Green grinned arrogantly, proud of his well-thought-out insult.
Red and Green had been rivals since they were babies, and they didn't necessarily get along. Although, that didn't mean that they didn't understand each other. Green was an extrovert with a very outgoing personality, while Red was more quiet and reserved. Over the years, Green got accustomed to Red not saying much, and he was able to speak "Red-i-nese" and understand Red through his facial expressions and body language. Green had an Eevee that was a birthday present from his grandfather, Professor Oak, and Red's only Pokemon was a Pikachu he had befriended some years back. They often battled each other on a regular basis, and they were equally matched. Green's sister Daisy drove him crazy, being a girl and all, so he often took out his frustration with his sister on Red through antagonizing him and challenging him to battles. Both boys desired to become the Pokemon League Champion some day, and they both had acknowledged that they would need to become stronger than the other by the end of their journey as Pokemon Trainers.
Tomorrow, they would begin their journey. Today, the rumored 'new kid' was moving into Pallet Town, and Green was anxious to find out more about them. So, naturally, on his way to check the place out, he bumped into Red and dragged the quiet boy with him to scope out the possible competition.
Suddenly, the door to the truck opened, and a woman in her late-thirties stepped out. Dressed in dark blue jeans and a yellow top, she tucked the stray blonde hairs behind her ears to make her high-ponytail look neater. The blue-eyed woman walked around to the back of the truck and pushed the lever up, opening the back.
"Come on, Blue!" The woman, the 'new kid's' mother, called out to someone in the back of the truck. "Let's check out the new house!"
Green watched the woman quizzically and jabbed Red with his elbow. "Hey, she said Blue! That could be a guy's name, right?"
Red simply grunted in response, not particularly showing much interest in the town's new arrivals in the first place.
Green rolled his eyes. "You're no fun."
Both boy's attention was immediately drawn back to the back of the truck when they saw the tip of a white boot emerge, and then gracefully, a figure stepped out of the truck.
White knee-high boots covered most of her legs, and a simple black dress that reached mid-thigh covered her pale body. White gloves adorned her hands and dark brown locks tumbled down her shoulders, barely covering the small of her back.
The blonde woman wore a goofy smile, outstretching her arms. "Tah dah! Blue, what do you think of it? It's cute, isn't it?"
"This is Pallet Town?" Her blue eyes darted up to the sky as she turned around, pleasantly taking in the scenery. "It's nice." She turned to face her mother with a bright smile.
Red and Green both blinked in astonishment; neither boy had even anticipated the thought that a girl was moving in right next door.
Green threw his fists down to his sides, frustrated. "Dammit! It's another freaking girl!"
Red shook his head at Green. "You're an ass."
Different than Dark Violet, huh? Well, sorry the intro was kinda short, but now you guys can get a sense of everyone's personalities before the story even starts! (Especially Green's...)
*still laughing at Red's one line in the whole chapter*
Read, review, and enjoy!
