Leaf Green woke up one sunny morning of her summer break. She was in a good mood and cheerfully got ready. She dressed in a forest green top with tan shorts and flip flops. She then walked into her kitchen to find her family plus a visitor, who was none other than Gary Oak.
She stopped in the doorway and waited to be noticed.
"Morning Leaf," her mother said pouring some more coffee into her cup.
"Morning," Leaf said losing the cheeriness in her voice.
Leaf slumped into her seat which had to be beside Gary and grabbed a bagel.
"Did you sleep well dear?" her father asked.
"Yeah slept fine," Leaf said then took a bite of her bagel.
"What are you doing today?" her mom asked as she mixed some cream and sugar into her coffee.
"Nothing really. Just gonna go visit the forest after breakfast," Leaf said sipping some orange juice.
"Alright."
Leaf finished off her bagel and dashed upstairs. She grabbed her bag, Bulbasaur's Pokéball, and some Pokémon food which she placed in her bag. She dashed down the stairs to say bye to her parents.
"Bye mom. Bye dad," she said and noticed Gary wasn't there anymore.
She felt sad, but shook it off and hurried out the door. She wasn't paying attention and walked right into someone, knocking them both down, with her on top.
"Owwww..." Leaf trailed.
"Watch where you're going," the other person said irritably as he rubbed the back of his head.
Leaf knew that voice all too well and she opened her eyes. She was now face-to-face with Gary Oak's dark green eyes.
"Well I see you are still clumsy Pesky Girl," Gary said, teasing her with her most hated nickname.
"Shut it Oak," Leaf said, heavily annoyed by that name.
"Get off."
"Nah I'm gonna stay right here," Leaf responded with a grin.
"Wh-" Gary started, but was interrupted and gasped in pain.
Leaf had elbowed him in the gut and got off. Gary got up and glared at her.
"What was that for?" Gary asked while regaining his breath.
"Let's see... you called me Pesky Girl," Leaf said pretending to think.
Gary just shook his head and while he was doing so, Leaf started toward the forest.
"Hey wait up," Gary called running after her.
"Why are you following me?" Leaf asked while unhooking her Pokéball.
"Cause."
"Come on out Bulbasaur!" Leaf shouted, gracefully tossing her Pokéball.
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur exclaimed happily and sniffed a flower.
Leaf smiled at her Pokémon and turned to face Gary.
"Alright what's up? You hardly ever come to the forest," Leaf said studying him.
"I came to go to a clearing up ahead," Gary said looking at Leaf from the corner of his eye.
"You mean the clearing where you dunked me in the water?" Leaf asked raising an eyebrow.
Gary remained silent for a few seconds.
"You were asking for it... Pesky Girl."
Leaf glared at him.
"You pulled me in and dunked me!" Leaf cried.
"You said you were hot! So I decided that water would cool you off," Gary exclaimed with a smirk.
"Yeah that little brain of yours when you were twelve," Leaf insulted.
It was now Gary's turn to glare at her. She just skipped along and then ran through some branches entering the clearing.
"Leaf!" Gary yelled running the way she went.
When Gary entered the clearing he found no sign of Leaf.
"Leaf?" he asked.
No answer so he looked around. He still didn't see Leaf so he sat down. He then felt something hit the back of his head and he turned and picked up a little rock.
"What the?" he questioned to no one in particular, rubbing the back of his head.
He looked around and didn't see anything or anyone.
"Wow you are so dumb sometimes," a feminine voice said from an unknown location.
Gary looked up and looked toward where the voice came and all he saw was a bush.
"Up," came the voice again.
Gary looked further up and saw Leaf sitting in a tree. Leaf was a pretty good way up and she began climbing down. She then jumped down and landed elegantly.
"I still don't get how you climb that tree with ease. There are no branches," Gary said looking from Leaf to the tree.
"I just can," Leaf said and leaned up against the tree then slid down to the ground and sat.
Gary nodded and looked to the sky. Bulbasaur came and laid down on Gary's feet making him unable to move his feet. He looked to his left and found Leaf sitting against the tree and she was only a little ways away from him.
He watched as the clouds floated by and then he felt something on his left shoulder. He looked over and found Leaf's head resting on his shoulder, she had fallen asleep. Gary looked at her and his mind had many flashbacks.
When they were five they always competed against each other along with Ash.
Gary started calling Leaf "Pesky Girl" when she started wearing green so much.
Leaf crying after a bully had bullied her when they were seven.
A fifteen year old Leaf walking on the stage during a pageant that she was forced into. She wore a dark green dress that ended at her middle thigh. Her hair was laying on her shoulders following behind as she walked. A sixteen year old Gary was in the crowd and he felt his face heat up when he saw her.
Gary opened his eyes from the flashbacks. He looked at Leaf who was still sleeping and he noticed that his face was warm. He looked to Leaf again and pushed some of her hair out of her closed eyes. Her eyes twitched and Gary jerked his hand back quickly. Gary's eyes slowly closed and he fell asleep after a few minutes.
"Bulbasaur!" Leaf's Bulbasaur shouted.
Gary jerked his head up, awakening from his sleep, and looked around. It was late in the evening and Leaf was still asleep on his shoulder.
"Leaf," Gary said shaking her lightly.
Leaf stirred and looked around as her eyes slowly fluttered open. She looked confused and then shivered.
"It's cold," she said while rubbing her arms in an attempt to produce some warmth.
Gary noticed that she wasn't dressed for chilly winds. He took off his black jacket and placed it around her arms.
"Why did you do that?" she asked in confusion.
"You're cold," Gary said.
Leaf slid her arms into the jacket arms. She returned her Bulbasaur and got up. She started walking when she fell and landed on the ground. She cried in pain and held her ankle and sat up.
"You alright?" Gary asked finding her in the darkness.
"Yeah I did something to my ankle. I fell in a hole. I don't know if I twisted it or what I did," Leaf answered.
Gary knelt in front of her.
"Hop on. Or I'll carry you the other way," Gary said.
"I can't put pressure on my ankle."
Gary stood up and bent down some. Leaf raised her arms up and Gary picked her up bridal style. He started back towards Leaf's house, but had to walk slower since he had to carry Leaf plus move branches out of the way.
Gary stopped at Leaf's house and looked down and noticed that she was sleeping with her head in his chest some.
"Crap," Gary muttered.
He knocked on the Green's door. Gary was praying her mom would answer the door. The white door opened to reveal Leaf's father and he looked at Gary questionably since he was holding his daughter.
"Urr Mr. Green. Leaf she fell in a hole and her ankle was hurt and she couldn't put any pressure on it to get on my back. It was the only way to carry her," Gary said quickly, with curses filling his thoughts at the fact that her father had answered, rather than her mother.
"Gary calm down. I thank you for helping her. Could you possibly help us to the hospital? I can't lift since I had surgery and my wife can't lift her either."
"Sure no problem. Just one problem... Leaf's kinda asleep," Gary stated.
The Green's came out of their house and walked toward their car. Gary stood at the door waiting for instructions on what to do.
"Just lay her down and then get in," Mrs. Green said.
Gary did and slid in after he placed Leaf down.
"Oh and Gary," Mr. Green said.
Gary jumped and lost his voice. He found his voice after a few seconds.
"Yes Mr. Green?" he asked.
"Call me Hunter and call my wife Julia."
Gary just nodded and let out a sigh of relief. They arrived at the hospital and Gary picked Leaf back up. They walked into the hospital and were taken in right away.
After the doctor had examined Leaf's ankle and gave her some painkiller medicine, he wrote up a prescription for additional painkillers and handed it to Hunter. The four all left the hospital and entered the car.
A short silent drive home followed.
After arriving back at the Green household, Gary hopped out and Leaf followed since she was awake and her ankle wasn't hurting much any more.
"Gary you should stay for dinner. Since you did all this and you two haven't eaten and we haven't either," Julia said with a smile.
"Alright," Gary answered.
Leaf was talking to her father about something and he wasn't letting Leaf do whatever she was wanting to do.
"Please," Leaf said.
"No."
"Please please please," Leaf begged.
Julia stepped in and whispered something to Hunter.
"Fine Leaf," he said.
Leaf thanked her mom and dad.
"Hey Gary come on up to my room," Leaf said happily.
Gary was walking past a table and nearly fell into the glass table by what Leaf had said.
"What?" he asked.
"You can come up to my room," Leaf said.
Gary nodded and started to follow Leaf up the stairs. Hunter grabbed his arm and Gary lost his voice once again. Hunter was silent, but Gary knew what he said without saying it and nodded.
Gary hurried up the stairs and tried to find Leaf's room.
"Hey dumb-dumb over here," Leaf said from a door.
Gary looked to his right and found Leaf. She walked into a room and he followed her. Leaf's room had a wooden floor with a light colored wall. Her bed and furniture in her room was cream colored. She also had pictures of her, her and her Pokémon, and her and her friends from over the years.
"Gary remember this picture?" Leaf asked pointing to one.
The picture was taken after Leaf was in the pageant. Leaf's mother wanted a picture of Gary and Leaf. Leaf was leaning against Gary and Gary had his hands on her shoulders. Both of them were smiling.
"Yeah I remember," Gary said looking at the floor since his face had become partially red.
Gary looked around and noticed one picture.
"Leaf you remember that day?" he asked pointing to a picture.
Leaf looked to where he was pointing and she nodded. In the picture was her and Gary. It was the day Gary had decided to once again dunk Leaf under the water. This time he was sixteen and she was fifteen. Leaf was in her swimsuit which was a bikini that was black with green peace signs decorating the bottoms and the top. Gary had only his swim shorts on which were black and purple. They were soaked from head to toe and smiling like idiots for the camera.
"How could I ever forget that?" Leaf asked and looked down avoiding the picture.
She looked to see what Gary was wearing today and noticed it was black jeans, her favorite purple shirt he owned, and his boots. She blushed and looked at another picture.
"When you gonna give me my jacket back Leafy?" Gary asked, remembering something.
"N- Did you just call me Leafy?" Leaf began to say something like "never," but realized what he called her and was shocked.
"Yeah I did. It's better than Pesky Girl right?" Gary questioned.
Leaf nodded her head and Gary smiled.
"I don't know. I might keep the jacket," Leaf said.
Gary thought for a few moments.
"Sure you can," Gary said.
"Re- Wait what?" Leaf said, yet again shocked by Gary's words.
"You can keep it. It looks good on you," Gary said, with a smile on his face that appeared to be genuine.
Leaf was staring at Gary like he had grown two heads. Gary then realized what he said and his face began turning red, so he looked down to hide the redness from Leaf.
"Thanks. I mean for today. You gave me your jacket since I was cold. You helped me when I was hurt. Thank you Gary," Leaf said, a smile growing on her face.
"Welcome," Gary muttered.
He was quiet for a long time and Leaf was getting worried.
"Gary are you alright?" she asked walking to where he was.
"Yeah I'm just thinking," Gary said coming out of his thoughts.
"About what?"
"Stuff."
"What kind of stuff?" Leaf asked curiously.
"I'm just thinking if I like this girl or not," Gary stated, not specifying exactly who the girl was.
Leaf's heart hurt, but she decided to ask anyway.
"Who do you think you like or not like?" Leaf questioned, hiding her emotions.
"Not saying," Gary responded, much to Leaf's annoyance.
Leaf pondered for a moment, then asked: "Do I know her?"
"Yeah," Gary answered.
"What's she like?"
"Hmm she's cute, funny, clumsy, kind, sweet, and she's my friend," Gary stated.
Leaf was silent for a while, feeling hurt because he seemed to really like this girl.
"Oh... do you like her or love her?" Leaf asked it, although it pained her to ask this.
"I think I love her," Gary muttered.
Leaf now had a frown on her face. She felt tears coming, but blinked them away.
"Well Gary you should tell her that," Leaf said barely above a whisper.
"I already did," Gary said and smirked afterwards.
"Wh-" Leaf started, but Gary stopped her.
"Leafy it's you," Gary stated, causing Leaf to blink a few times.
Leaf couldn't believe what she had heard, and had to confirm.
"Really? You li- love, me?" she asked.
Gary nodded and knew he shouldn't do this, but he needed to prove it to her. He leaned in and kissed Leaf, his childhood friend.
Leaf was shocked at first, but melted into the kiss and returned the kiss.
"So want to be my girlfriend?" Gary asked silently after breaking the kiss.
"Yeah," Leaf said with a very large smile on her face.
Leaf heard footsteps coming toward the room and flew to her bed. She laid down on it acting as if nothing had happened. Gary sat on the floor and searched for a picture on the wall.
"Do you remember that picture?" Gary asked pointing to a random picture.
Leaf's door opened and her father walked in to see Gary pointing at the wall and Leaf looking at the wall laying on her bed.
"Dinner is ready," he stated, without the slightest bit of suspicion.
"Alright," the two teenagers said.
He walked out and they sighed in relief.
"That was close," Leaf said.
"Yeah it was," Gary said.
After dinner, Gary walked to the door and Leaf stepped out onto the porch with him.
"Gary we can't tell the others," Leaf said with worry in her voice.
"Why?" Gary asked with a confused expression.
"We just can't."
Gary nodded and leaned down and kissed Leaf goodnight.
"'Night, see you tomorrow," Leaf said smiling.
"You too. Sleep tight," Gary said, then walked off the porch.
Leaf walked back into her house to be very surprised and fearful of what she saw; her mom with a smile and dad with an angry expression.
"Leaf..." her father said.
She gulped and her mother tapped her father on the shoulder.
"Honey they've known each other for years. You knew it would happen. I knew it would happen. Gary's grandfather knew it would happen too," Julia said, trying to convince her husband to be accepting of this.
"I guess you're right. But Leaf, you tell me if he breaks your heart," Hunter said sternly.
Leaf laughed and said "I will and night." She then went up to her room to sleep.
