Oh! Oh! What do you think Leaf's and Green's childhood was like together?

NICE,,

➞

(this one actually will be a lil angsty)

the oaks have always lived in pallet town, the redwoods moved in when leafs mom was still pregnant, and her dad was still there. they ended up being great friends with the whole oak family!! at this time daisy was 5, and their mom was pregnant with green

leafs dad was a big adventurer type, his first love was his wife and his second was THE GREAT ADVENTURE he liked to explore other regions and such, and he was also fabulously rich (probably from his family). he died in an accident while off in another region before leaf was born, which is why her dad isnt around. her mom did inherit the money however, which is why the mom never had to work LOL

leafs dad is also the reason she went traveling later on. she thought that if she traveled she would somehow. find him. or connect with him in some way. like she would find him in the adventure out there. she never did. 

green is about 2-3 months older than leaf!!! so he was born first, and then leaf, both beautiful babies!!!!!! 

despite being born in the same town, they didnt start actually interacting until they were about 3 years old. 

they first met when green was outside with daisy and their parents, and he looked over and saw mrs. redwood in her garden showing leaf all the pretty flowers. so ofc hes like. WOW ANOTHER PERSON!! FRIEND!!! and goes over

so hes all excited. but polite. with a “Morning Mrs. Redwood!! Whos that???” and leaf is shy af at this age. shes just quiet and kind of scared tbh. her mom has to push her towards him like “Say hi!” 

leaf wore her hat all the time, and often hid her eyes because she’d been teased about it before. so greens smiling ear to ear because friend!!!! “Hi I’m Green whats your name???!!!”. hes a happy child. very exicted 

and she answers with a really quiet “L-Leaf-” and he IMMEDIATLY “COOL!!!!!! LETS GO PLAY!!!!!” AND GRABS HER HAND AND DRAGS HER OFF TO GO PLAY SOMEWHERE

he was a very cute kid fyi. everyone in the oak family is phenominally beautiful and no one knows why. everyone loves him

so while theyre playing he asks why shes hiding her eyes, she answers because they look weird, and he laughs it off and says he wants to see. at  first shes like no!!!! but he starts playfully fighting her over it and takes her hat off and he has this. wow moment. because. her eyes are like shining rubies and he just stares at her for. a reallly long time.

so shes blushing and gonna cry soon and says “I told you-” and meanwhile hes just. completely enamoured. and this moment pretty much stays with him for the rest of his life because he always thinks she has the most beautiful eyes. 

so after a while of just staring at her his mouth is just hanging open and he blurts out “Pretty.” and SHES SHOCKED.. this is one of the reaons why starts to develop a crush on him. 

ofc from this point on theyre like. best friends. they do everything together . its mostly green dragging her around doing dumb shit and eating daisys baking and watching tv. prof oak completly adores leaf and is thrilled that green is her best friend. he cant wait to see them as researchers or trainers. hes already brainstorming what pokemon he should give them first. hes planning their wedding 15 years in advance. 

they spend a lot of time in the lab watching prof oak do his research and playing with his pokemon. he tells them a bunch of stories about his old adventures.

when theyre about 5 they watch one of the pokemon league matches being shown on tv and this is the defining moment. where they both decide independantly that “one day, im gonna be champion too”

greens parents support him 100%. his father tells him that he will always believe in him and that hes gonna be the best champion ever when he grows up, unlike any champion before him, and to never give up on his dream. this is the reason why green is obsessed with being the best trainer in the world. 

when theyre 7, green and daisys parents die in an accident. this is the point where green gets more kinda bitter and nasty, and daisy becomes more mature and motherly. Its a few weeks after the funeral when leaf tries to go over and see green, daisy tells her he doesnt want to see anyone.

another few weeks after that, she finds him outside on the oceanside at the end of pallet town. even though leaf lost her father, she never knew him, so she’d never feel the level of hurt that green is feeling. at this age, she doesnt understand the gravity of the situation. 

she asks green if he wants to play or watch tv. hes angry, and shes insistant, and when he yells at her to leave him alone, they have a fight. this is the point when green says something mean and hurtful to her and the point where they stop being friends and start being something closer to rivals. 

after this leaf goes home and cries, and after a week or so daisy brings green over to apologize to her. hug it out kiddos. 

over the years they develop into rivals over grades, sports, and literally everything else. despite their rivalry, theyre still surpringly pretty close, and they become the most competative pair of kids anyone has ever scene. 

When theyre about 10 and throughout their middle school, green starts to develop into his snarky and arrogant self. the fact that hes the prettiest, smartest, most atheltic and teacher-beloved kid in school doesnt help his overinflated ego. he starts teasing and kind of bullying leaf more, though he still secretly watches out for her and backhandedly sticks up for her sometimes

meanwhile, leaf becomes more confident in herself and works her butt off to be right at the top with green in everything. even though green is being more of a jerk to her, she still sees that he cares when he does things like defending her against the other kids who make fun of her and grabbing her homework for her when shes sick. 

green seems to pick on leaf a lot more now, and mrs redwood claims its because he has a crush on her. at this point, leaf starts to have a crush on green, which stays for p much the rest of her life LOL,,,,

prof oak is developing the pokedex this whole time. hes concerned about green because of how obsessed he is with being the best and worries he wont treat his pokemon right because hes seen this kind of behavior and motivations when he was on his journey (this story is for another time its long). so he wants green to be a researcher like him, but green is hellbent on being the very best. this puts a lot of tension on their relationship. 

when they both get to trainers school(high school) DAMN THEYRE LIKE THE BEST STUDENTS IN THE DAMN PLACE. THEYRE BOTH FRICKEN BEAUTIFUL ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE WITH GOOD GRADES AND ATHLETICS AND EVERYONE LOVES THEM ITS FRIHFJGN…WEIRD…….all the girls like green and all the guys like leaf.,,.

leafs crush on green only gets worse, especially since he becomes this tall handsome snarky arrogant hot piece of ass that teases her. green never admits it but hes attracted to her too. he thinks shes the most super friggin cutest girl hes ever seen and he still loves her eyes. but he never says this so instead he picks on her lol. 

greens whole trainers school life is p much just. having most of his classes the same as leafs, teasing her probably as an excuse to hang out with her in the halls, getting jealous of any other guy who tries to spend time with her because damnit thats MY RIVAL and whenever anyone sees him with her its just a long session of “…are you SURE he doesnt like her???” “man, idk anymore.”

and leafs trainers school life is trying to keep up with and competeing with green, getting flustered whenever he teases her, being the subject of A LOT of jealousy because she spends the most time with green out of literally anyone, and soft smiles whenever he helps/hangs out with her because shes just. a fool in love

when push comes to shove though, they actually care about each other a lot. green always sticks up for her when another guy or girl is picking on her, or if the teacher is being unfair, or if she gets in a fight with someone, and leaf always takes care of green, gets his homework for him and keeps him on his toes, and they help each other with school subjects and wait for each other after school to go home together and overall, it seems like they dont like each other but they have a good relationship.
