Hello hello!

I'm back! *random tomato thrown from the audience*

Anyways, here's chapter four!

I stared into the mirror of the public restroom of route 22. The scissors in my hands were ice cold. I slowly raised my hand, opening the scissors ever so slightly. My hand trembled as it neared the base of my green hair. Tears began to blur my vision as I stared into the mirror. The scissors slide carefully and easily until they rested right at the base of my long ponytail. MY fingers seemed to fidget from restlessness, making the mouth of the silver cutting utensil close with each move. Snippets of my green hair rained down into the sink below. Tears began to spill over and rolled down my cheeks. What if I really did this? I glanced over at the pokestore shopping bag that contained all the materials for my new identity. If I went through this, becoming 'Nathanial'. Then how would Hilda recognize me?
"Hilda…" I whispered to the emptiness of the room.
The one person who actually thought of me as human. It would break her heart if she found me like this. But that one person in my life is long gone, still in Unova. My Xtransiever rang softly and buzzed on my wrist. A calendar reminder popped up. In bright pink letters read, 'Rosa's first day of her Pokémon journey.'
I stared at the piece of technology on my wrist for a few minutes, then immediately deleted the reminder.
Rosa was Hilda's younger sister.
I've never really met her before, I only heard rumors and childhood memories from Hilda.
A thought popped in my head. A very crazy idea that only a mad man would think of.
And sadly, I am a mad man.
I immediately shoved all the merchandise I bought at the store into the shopping bag, then into my book bag. Slinging the bag onto my back, I pulled my hat down low to conceal my face and shoved all my green hair into the back of my shirt, pulling up my collar next.
I walked briskly out of the bathroom into the bitter cold air.
No dared turn a glance in my direction.
I silently smiled, being shunned and ignored was an old friend of mine. It felt nice to experience something familiar for once.
But that was when she bumped into me.
"Watch where you're going bozo!" She yelled at me.
"Watch it yourself!" I shouted back.
At first I thought the girl I ran into was Hilda, but then reality hit me full force, reminding me that I was in Kanto, not Unova.
She quickly stood up and brushed herself off. She bounced on her heels as I stood up, at least she was not rude like some other humans I knew were.
"My name is Green, but everyone around here calls me Leaf." She extended one of her hands out. "What is your name?"
I looked at her hand for a second. Then took it into my own. "The names N."
She laughed, "N? That is the stupidest name I've ever heard." She looked up, and when she saw I was not laughing along she immediately got quiet. "Sorry…."
I looked away from her gaze, looking at the sunrise. Shops were along the route were just opening.
"Would you like an Oran Berry?" Leaf asked, holding one out for me.
I looked at it a second and took it out of her hand.
"You don't talk very much do you, N?" Leaf asked.
I silently ate the oran berry, not daring to say anything.
"I'll take that as a yes." She replied to herself, annoyingly.
"HEY! YOU!" A man called from down the street. "YOU'RE THE LITTLE THIEF THAT STOLE MY PRODUCE!" He began to run down the street toward us.
"RUN!" Leaf said suddenly.
"What?" I said, confused.
"RUN!" She grabbed my hand and we sprinted down the street.
"You stole these oran berries! Didn't you!" I accused.
"Sshhhhhhh! Not so loud." She scorned.
"You are a little thief!" I whispered.
"And you are the freak from Unova!" She whispered back.
I stopped suddenly and stared at her.
Lead stopped then ran back to me, dragging me along.
"How did you…" I said, awestruck.
"Come with me, and I'll tell you all I know."
After running through the routes of kanto, we finally stopped, almost out of breathe.
"My grandmother met this little boy a long time ago." Leaf began, "He was about yay tall" she indicated with her hand. "And had wild long green hair."
I stared at her with interest, knowing the story personally.
"Would you like this berry sonny?" An old lady held out a small pink berry about the size of her palm.
A little boy with green hair looked at the old lady with interest. He learned from recent disasters that some people were wicked and evil, but this old lady seemed actually nice.
She put her hand out further to the boy, keeping a kind and gentle grin on her face. "Here, I don't want it, and besides it looks like you need it more than I do." She giggled, eying the small boy's waist line.
The little boy looked down, to see what was so funny. All he saw was his ribs and the outline of his hips.
"Go on." The old lady urged him. "Take it."
Silently the little boy extended his small fragile hand out to take the berry, trembling slightly.
The old lady watched him carefully, making sure not to make any sudden movements that would scare the poor boy away.
The tiny hand of the boy quickly snatched the berry and retreated back to the boy's side.
He looked at the berry curiously, not really sure what to do with it.
"You eat it." The old lady said, catching the hint, and motioning with her hands.
He looked back down at the berry and slowly opened his mouth, biting into the rich juicy pink skin.
Juice from the berry smeared the boy's face as he devoured the fruit.
The old lady laughed at the boy's reaction, thinking back to the time when she was that age.
"You know," She said quietly. "I have a granddaughter about your age. Her name is Green."
The little boy slowly touched his hair.
"Yes that green." She giggled.
The little boy smiled silently.
"You could come with me you know? We could be a family. And you can be best friends with green." The lady held out her hand again.
The boy stared at it again, and then was suddenly hit with the remembrance of what happened with his last family. He certainly didn't want the same thing to happen to this kind old lady.
He shook his head, backing away slowly.
"Ok, then." The lady sighed.
The boy then ran away at full speed into the forest.
