"Now, pokémonology is…"
Professor Oak might've been smart, but he sure was boring.
That's what five-year-old Leaf thought, anyways. Green's grandpa was talking to her, Red, and Green about research and stuff, but Leaf wasn't really interested. It was raining out, anyways, and that meant she could be splashing in puddles right now instead.
"…to be particularly erudite professors…"
The wind was blowing pretty hard, and scattering all the pretty leaves around. They were all different colors, red and yellow and orange, and she thought they looked prettier than in any other season. Besides, her birthday was coming up, and she had been named for those leaves, anyways.
"…for your future."
Green stood up, and she realized it was over. Leaf scrambled to her feet and grabbed an unsuspecting Red's hand. "Can we go outside? Pleeeease?" she wheedled to the professor, jumping up and down.
Professor Oak frowned and looked outside. "Make sure you're safe—"
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" she yelled as she dragged Red out the door.
"—and don't forget your umbrella," he finished, shaking his head.
