Chapter 3: The Third Day

"Leaf I love you," Green said grabbing Leaf pulling her close kissing her gently.  The kiss almost felt real to Leaf but she knew this was just her dreams.  The only time she could be her true self with Green.

"I love you too, Green," Leaf said sadly looking out at the ocean that spread as far as the eye could see a sun setting on the horizon, "But I know this just a dream.... no matter how much I wish it to be true."

"Why don't you tell the real me?" the fake Green asked looking down at Leaf's face caressing her face gently.

Leaf looked up at him tears in her eyes saying, "You could never love me....  I'm just a shell of a girl silent and useless.  You're the Viridian Gym Leader, you never ran away from your responsibilities just to hide away from feelings you had for a person who would never see you as more then a friend especially since for the longest time they saw you as their rival.  You could have any girl you wanted, you have enough fan girls...."

The fake Green shook his head running his hand down to her chin whispering, "Don't be so sure, you never know unless you try.  Try to let him get to know the real you that is hidden deep beneath that shell of silence you have put up to protect yourself."

"I guess I could...." Leaf said with a sigh this wasn't the first time the Green in her dreams had given her advice.  Her dreams were always either of Green or nightmares about when she was little though those had slowly gone away since she had defeated that man, Giovanni, finally 3 years ago.

She felt something wet on her hand looking up at Green who smiled saying, "Smell ya later is what I always used to say when we left each other company on our Journey right.  Well smell ya later."

With that Leaf woke up feeling Espeon licking her hand and a smell reaching her nose.  The smell of strawberry tofu frying met her nose.  She sat up looking over to the fire seeing Green was sitting there cooking the tofu not noticing she was up.  She smiled lightly slowly getting up sneaking quietly over behind him leaning down wrapping her arms around his neck placing her head against his back.  Her heart was racing but she had always wanted to try this just once to see how he would react especially after the dream she had.




Green had woken up earlier that morning hearing Leaf talking in her sleep.  He had slowly got out from his sleeping bag going over sitting beside her listening her in wonder.

"I love you too, Green," he heard her whisper looking over at her in wondering what she could be dreaming about as she rolled over facing him now her brown hair laying in her face.

He resisted the urge to push the hair from her face knowing last night he had kissed her when she was asleep.  He shook his head muttering, "Why can't I just tell her?"

His eyes grew wide as he heard her whispering, "You could never love me though."
He knew he had to do something or she may always think that until he could get up the nerve to tell her how he felt.  He got onto his feet leaning down brushing her hair back gently whispering, "Don't be so sure...."

"I guess so," he finally heard her whisper letting out a breath he had been holding glad she responded like that.

He backed away as Espeon woke up coming over to them.  He slowly went over starting to cook some strawberry tofu to have since he knew Leaf liked the stuff and he had gotten some from Nurse Joy the day before.  He became distracted by it not noticing as Leaf got up and came over to him.  He slowly felt her wrap her arms around him her head against his back.  He tensed up feeling like his heart was going to explode right out of his chest.  He figured she had to hear it since she was so close as he tried to regain his composure slowly saying what he could get out, "G...Good Morning..."

Leaf pulled away quickly a frown appearing on her face as she looked down feeling like she had done something wrong.  

Green quickly looked at her grabbing and hugging her close whispering, "Don't think you did something wrong, you just took me by surprise.  I wasn't expecting you too come up behind me and hug me like that."

Leaf looked up at him relief on her face as she smiled hugging him back lightly laying her head against his chest.

Green looked down at her rubbing her back asking, "You know if you ever want to say anything to me you can trust me right, Leaf?  I will never tell a soul what you tell me.  Truthfully I like hearing your voice too...."

Leaf looked up at him wide eyed before nodding slowly whispering, "I guess I can try..... It's just hard for me."

He looked into her eyes saying, "Leaf don't ever be afraid to talk to me.  Even back when I was just your jerky rival I would have listened to anything you had to say.  Even if it takes time for you to trust me, I'll be here for you alright?"

Leaf nodded with a gentle smile before pulling away looking at the strawberry tofu in wonder.

He followed her eyes to the tofu he was frying saying, "Oh that, I got it from Nurse Joy as well yesterday.  I knew you liked the stuff."

She nodded surprised that he remembered that as she whispered slowly, "I do...."

He smiled softly as he got it out of the frying pan putting it on a small plate handing one to her along with a mug of hot chocolate.  He took the other plate with some starting to eat slowly with Leaf.  His mind kept drifting to how he felt when he had kissed her last night.  It felt so perfect except for the fact she hadn't been awake.  He wondered how kissing her when she was awake would feel though he knew that was a long shot for now.

Leaf looked at him watching him as he ate in deep thought.  He watched his beautiful green eyes seeming to be staring off into nothing.  It caused her heart to ache wondering what he was thinking about so intensely.  She found herself asking before she could stop herself, "What are you thinking about?"

"Uh nothing," Green said quickly looking at her surprised by how she said that not in a whisper but in her full voice it caused his heart to beat a little bit faster since it had just calmed down, "Hey why don't we play Pokemon Battle Cards?"

Leaf looked at him with a smile as she watched Green get the deck of cards from his bag.  Separating the cards into the four decks of Basic Attacks, Intermediate Attacks, Advance Attacks, and finally status moves.  Green looked up at Leaf asking, "Do you need a refresher course on how to play?  It's been awhile since we played against each other."

Leaf looked at the cards then at Green nodding slowly with a small blush on her face.

"Alright but first," Green pulled the pokeball for Umbreon from his waist calling out the pokemon.  The Umbreon ran over to Espeon sitting beside her happily.

Green chuckled lightly before turning back to Leaf saying, "We each select 2 cards from each pile at the beginning of the game.  The basic deck is attacks move that most pokemon learn before level 30 as well as any common attack TMs.  Intermediate is all the rest of the TMs and moves pokemon from level 30 to 65 can learn.  Advance is moves that can only be tutored to pokemon, are a pokemons special move, or moves that are only learned after lvl 65 for most pokemon.  Then finally we have the status deck, which simply put are all pure status effecting moves like Toxic and Sand-attack.  They each do something different to your opponent when put into play determining on what the card says."

Leaf nodded taking 2 cards from each deck as instructed then looking at him as he did the same before he shuffled the decks up placing them down drawing the first card placing it down beside the deck.  It was the move Crunch which had a 50% chance of making the first one of them to go first flinch meaning they lost their turn.

The rules of the game were simply based on the deck the move was from as well as types.  If you had a basic attack card on the field that was psychic type then it could be defeated by any basic with a type advantage over the move and all intermediate and advance cards.  Status cards could also be played at any time unless the move on the field prevented status effects.  The aim of the game was to be the first one to be out of cards.  Status effects could cause you to draw cards or make you unable to move.  It could be a strategy full game.

Leaf and Green started to play once everything was set.  It was a heated battle just like any they had when they fought with real pokemon during their journey.  As it stood now they were evenly matched with Leaf having won one and Green having won one.

"Hey, Leaf," Green said looking at the girl across from him with a smile knowing just how to get a kiss from the girl, "Let's make another little wager on this next game.  If I win I get to do one thing to you that I really want to and if you win I will tell you my feelings on anything you want to hear."

Her eyes widen nervous about what he wanted to do to her but the hearing his feelings thing was to good to pass up.  She bit her bottom lip before whispering, "Alright, Green."

"Alright, then let the game begin," Green said as they started to play again.  He was determined to win this one so he could get to kiss her, he knew either way that the outcome would be good though.




'Is he an idiot?' Gengar asked Espeon and Umbreon as they watched Leaf and Green play the game again with a wager on the line this time.

Umbreon looking at Gengar slowly before asking, 'What do you mean, Gengar?'

'Obviously he wants to kiss Leaf without her being asleep.  You saw what he did last night before tucking her in right Espe?' Gengar said looking at Espeon.

Espeon looked at Gengar nodding asking, 'Yes I saw but our trainer loves him why wouldn't it be good if they kissed?'

'Because if they kissed before he confesses his feelings for her it will leave Leaf wondering if he does love her or if that was just an experiment,' Gengar said knowingly feeling bad for his trainer, 'Then he thinks that if she wins she will ask him how he feels for her.... she won't.  She doesn't have the courage to do so, she'll chicken out and ask about something unrelated.'

'How do you know so much?' Umbreon asked looking at Gengar in wonder.

Gengar looked at them before saying, 'I've been with Leaf for 7 years, for as long as I've known her she has been in love with Green.  I think she was love for him even before then..... and before the event that makes her not trust any human.'

'Is it related to when Green saved her when they were 4 do you think?' Umbreon asked looking at Gengar.

Gengar looked at Umbreon before nodding saying, 'So Green remembers it as well.... yes I think that was when Leaf first fell in love with him.'

'He doesn't remember much sadly,' Umbreon said sadly, 'I think if he did he would have come around to admitting he like her long before he did.  All I know is what Daisy has talked to Red about when he came around.  Green doesn't remember the event well himself, I think he has tried to erase it from his mind.'

'Well I know Leaf remembers..... maybe Green will too before the week is up and he goes back to the gym,' Gengar said hopefully as he looked back at the two trainers, 'We can only hope.'




Leaf had won the game finally.  It had been the most intense one yet but she had pulled through with the victory.

Green looked at her a little disappointed he didn't win but he was curious what she would ask him.  He looked at her studying her face asking, "So what do you want to ask me?"

Leaf looked at him for a moment deciding against asking him fully how he felt about her so deciding to whisper, "Do you consider us as just friends now and not Rivals?

Green looked at her having not considered she would ask that but he decided to answer truthfully though it pained him to say that they were simply just friends, "Yes I consider us just friends, we haven't been rivals since you defeated me on the Indigo Plateau that second time."

Leaf smiled happily as she looked at him whispering slowly, "I'm glad...."

Green smiled reaching forward patting Leaf on the head saying, "As I said before, even if I said I hated you I could never actually.  Something about you and I keeps me from hating you."

Leaf looked at him tilting her head to the side wondering what he meant before shaking her head then motioned to the sleeping bag wondering if he was going to sleep there again.

Green looked at the sleeping bag then back at Leaf, he really didn't want to leave her again.  He loved spending all his time there with her even if it was in this cave on Mount Silver.  He looked into her face saying, "I think I'll stay here at the cave with you for the rest of the time I'm visiting.... if you don't mind of course."

Leaf smiled shaking her head to tell him she didn't mind in the least since she loved to have him there.  Though she motioned to pokeballs then outside before whispering, "Tomorrow I want to go train."

"Alright, tomorrow we can go train," Green said with a smile, "I want to battle one of your pokemon with Umbreon anyway."

She nodded with a smile it had been awhile since she had seen Green battle so the thought excited her.  She then grabbed the photo album scooting beside Green so he could look if he wanted.  She opened the page to the christmas photos they had been on the day before before they went to do the snowball fight.  

Green glanced over her shoulder at the pictures seeing the next picture was of Leaf, Red, and him exchanging presents.  He remembered his present from Leaf well since he always wore it.  A small silver pendent that was inscribed with the Unknown symbol for G.  Even if Unknown were uncommon in Kanto he had read about the language based around them in his Grandfather's lab.  He had shown Leaf the first letters of his and her names in the language several months before Christmas.

"You know I still wear that gift you gave me that christmas," Green said looking over at her with a smile seeing the hat on her head, "The same way you still wear that hat."

Leaf looked at him in surprise she never figured he would still be wearing that pendent after 3 years.  Though she was happy he did, it had taken a lot for her to afford it but since Green had seemed so interested in the Unknown she was happy to get it for him.

He smiled at the surprise in her eyes knowing it probably meant a lot to her that he still wore it just like the fact she had kept the ratty white hat on her head all these years meant to him.  He went down the page seeing the final picture was of Leaf, Red, and him all in there pajamas sitting in front of the fireplace at their house with the Christmas Tree lit up to the side.  He had remembered Leaf had fallen asleep into her lap that night.  He remembered well how her warmth felt against his body and remembered it was the first night Red told him that Leaf loved him.  Red had told him if he ever hurt Leaf's feelings he would regret it.  He swore he wouldn't no matter what he said he was careful to never be to harsh.  Except once when he had made Leaf cry, the same day his Ratticate died which at the time he blamed all on her not on himself like the blame should have been on.

He glanced over at Leaf knowing she didn't have a clue what had happened that day to cause him to be so harsh with her.  He sighed looking down asking, "Leaf, do you remember when we were in Lavender Tower during our Journey?"

Leaf looked at him before nodding she remembered it well it had been an emotional roller coaster for the young girl.  She remembered running into Green who seemed to be different, his normal light green eyes had storms brewing in them especially as he looked at her that day.  He was looking at her with anger she had never seen before.

"I'm sorry how I acted to you that day," Green said sadly as he stared into the dancing flames of the fire, "You see I wasn't there catching pokemon purely like I told you....  True I did catch a Cubone while there but the fact is.... I was there to say good bye to a pokemon."

Leaf's eyes grew wide as she looked at Green who seemed to avoiding looking at her at all cost now.

"It was my Ratticate.... it became sick shortly before it's last battle with you," Green said shaking now tears threatening to come, "I pushed it to fight anyway, when it fainted it never woke up...."

"I called it a weakling to my grandfather when he was checking it and that I was going to replace it anyway," Green said closing his eyes, "And worse of all I blamed you for it's death.  When the blame should have all been on my shoulders if anyone's.  I was the one who pushed it to fight even when it was sick... I knew it was sick too but I didn't care."

Leaf wrapped her arms around him tightly to show him how sorry she was plus she didn't know what to say.  It explained so much to her as why he had been there plus was extra mean to him

"So I'm sorry," Green said awkwardly before slowly wrapping his arms around her.  He sat his chit on the top of her head the smell of dirt and berries reaching it.  He shouldn't have been surprise that was her smell since she had lived on the mountain for 3 years.

Leaf nodded pulling away yawning motioning to Snorlax before going laying on top of the big pokemon drifting to sleep pulling her cover on her.

He laughed softly before going over laying back into the sleeping back closing his eyes drifting to sleep as well.
Oh wondering what the event where Green saved Leaf's life is? Well just wait and see. Comment and Favorite!
