The lonely boy

Green was a lonely boy. He spent most of his childhood training, so he didn't have any time to make friends. There was no one he could befriend there after all. But he was okay with that. He didn't really know what he was missing and, quite honestly, he didn't understand that. It was hard for him to open up, to trust anyone, to let anyone in. He was raised to be a trainer, raised to battle, raised to be alone. He didn't know friendship.

So you can imagine his surprise when some random, impulsive kid, suddenly decided Green would be his rival. The universe also seemed to be having a lot of fun with Green's uncertainty, as they ended up bumping into each other constantly. Red was...a mystery to him. He was like the sun. Optimistic, bright, extrovert, caring, warm... He was the perfect opposite of Green's moon. Yet they always seemed to have some kind of cosmic force pulling them together, and it was starting to drive Green mad.

It was when they accidentally swapped pokemon that he realised he was missing something.

At first, he was confused. What DID Red do to his team? They were acting so...Redly. Green didn't understand. Even Porygon, who kept refusing to follow his commands, was nuzzling to his face happily. Something was missing in his mind but he couldn't quite place it. I mean, his team was acting weird but they seemed...happier. It was a good thing but what WAS it?

As they kept bumping into each other constantly, Red's presence started feeling less overwhelming. Green could only speculate that Red probably realised that he had to be less forceful to get on the rival's good side. Green himself wasn't aware of that at all until he put some thought into it, but he was, undeniably, going soft on Red.

But it was only on their battle that Green finally knew what he was missing.

Red put it clearly on the end of their battle. The battle, it was amazing. Green never felt more alive. He lost, but it was still such a close fight. He was proud seeing how far he's come. And it was obvious that Red helped him get this far. But there was a key feature he was missing. The decisive factor on his loss. "Friendship! But you wouldn't understand...".

Friendship.

Green started at the pokeball in his hand. That was the thing. The thing he couldn't name. He looked up to Red and his rival smiled to him.

Friendship.

Green smiled back.

It was the beginning of a new life for the lonely boy.

He then left to train and everything went wrong: Red disappeared. His mind was in chaos, his heart was in despair. Green never felt so hard the urge to cry. He was surprised at first. Red. The strongest trainer in Kanto. Got kidnapped. Who was so strong to be able to do this?

But then, he realised. Red was gone. His rival was missing. His first and best friend could be...

No.

He immediately stopped the training. He had to rescue Red.

Green wasn't expecting to end up training a young girl in the process. But she had something. A sparkle in her eyes. It was like Red's. Sheer determination that she was taught to convert into battle strength. It was a good way to spend the time he wasn't looking for Red. But every time he looked at her, her smile, her shining eyes. It reminded him so much of Red. Green felt like screaming.

He didn't get a lot of sleep up until Red was safe with them.

They were so busy fighting for their lives that it took Green some time to be hit by the realization that Red was there. His rival was alive. His first and best friend was safe again. He took Red on a walk in the middle of the night and when they were in a safe distance from the girls, Green hugged Red and cried his heart out on his rival's shoulder. He cried all his worries and relieves until he fell asleep. None of the girls questioned the cuddling rivals next morning.

His grandfather got kidnapped because the universe apparently LOVED having Green's loved ones disappearing on him. There was some alien pokemon attacking people and Red apparently fought it. It came as no surprise that Green was worried about Red's situation as it was his first major loss. He tried to comfort his rival, and nowadays he was much more confident on his ability to do so. At this point, they were so close that Red actually was the one and only person that Green went as far as having any form of physical contact with. I know, SHOCKING.

But the whole comfort thing didn't work out and they ended up fighting. Green knew there was a lot on both their heads and that this was probably why the fight happened in the first place, but it still hurt. They were together during most the adventure, but...it wasn't quite right. Green was acting impulsively, had to be held down by Red countless times, they had to do weird stuff so a not-so-sentient old woman would teach them a move and Green was having NO patience with ANYONE for that matter and Red had to keep him from doing something stupid on impulse, which was usually something GREEN would stop RED from. Other than that, their relationship...didn't seem different because of the fight. But the fight was still on his mind.

Despite that, Green was struck with a realization and it felt as if he was struck by lightning. He liked Red. The first thing that gave it away was the way his heart almost stopped as he desperately ran to the ship to see if Red was okay. It came so suddenly that at first he didn't know how to deal with it. On the split second that the possibility that Red could be seriously injured came up, he realised that he couldn't live without his rival.

Then it was the fact that his stupid, idiotic rival, decided it would be a good idea to take off his shirt. Green had NO idea of WHEN he took his shirt off but, ladies and gentlemen, that was the moment the brick hit his head hard. All he could do was try to keep their conversation normal as he not-so-discreetly stared at Red's shirtless body. He wasn't sure if he ended up blushing but he seriously felt like he did. In less than 2 minutes, from the time it took for him to run to the ship and help Red up, he not only realised his feelings were totally NOT platonic, he also had his first gay panic. Why.

And when they thought they could make it, they were turned to stone. And Green. Green just had so much in his mind at this point. But most of it was about Red. Now, he wasn't stupid. He was painfully aware of Yellow's crush on Red. He wasn't sure if she still felt that way, honestly. It was much more obvious when she was younger. Yet Green and Red still had that weird gap between them as a consequence of their fight and he didn't realise how much that was hurting until he noticed how...soft...Red was with Yellow.

It was before they turned to stone.

Red smiled softly as he gave the pokedex to Yellow and Green felt a weird pain on his chest. If Blue noticed, she didn't say a thing, which he was glad for. But then Green was painfully aware that...he might not feel the same. Arceus, it was so much more likely that Red liked Yellow. When Red carefully picked her up and carried her on his arms, Green broke inside. Blue most definitely noticed, but once again, she didn't bring it up. And boy, was Green glad she didn't.

And then, they were petrified, giving Green all the time in the world to think about his recently discovered crush, the fact that it was most probably not mutual and the fact that, for Arceus's sake, they still had that damn fight keeping them apart. It was...horrible, to say the least. He was glad when they were saved and had a fight to deal with. That would keep his mind off the problems that burdened him up to this point. But that was pretty short.

When everything was over and everyone was celebrating their victory, Green found he couldn't bring himself to feel the same joy. Of course, he was glad it was over. But that means that after the storm came the calm. And calm would give Green a lot of time to think about what was breaking him.

Everyone noticed something was off. Green is typically distant, that's pretty normal actually. But not from Red. Red was the exception for everything when it came to Green. However, even from his rival he was distant. Red let the dust set for a bit until he tried talking to him. He sat next to his rival and placed a hand on his back. Green's tense and forced confident posture relaxed immediately and Red smiled softly at him. Green hugged him with all the strength he had left.

-I'm sorry.

Red was confused. Sorry? What was he sorry about? Then, it hit him, and Red found himself feeling incredibly guilty.

-You're...still thinking about our fight?

-Well, I never apologised properly...-Green muttered against Red's shoulder.

Red hugged Green's waist with one hand, the other going to his hair, pulling him closer.

-You dummy. Of course I forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago. We both just had a lot on our minds. It wasn't your fault.

Green smiled a bit. They stayed on each other's arms for what felt like forever.

It would be an understatement to say Green adopted half of Kalos, but mainly a kid named X. He hadn't thought a lot about his crush on Red ever since he arrived on the region. He was busy after all. But the whole situation with X and Pinsir just felt overwhelmingly familiar. The agony in which Pinsir seemed to be in when his rival didn't show up... It reminded Green of when Red was kidnapped.

-That sounds romantic.-X smiled.

Green smiled softly.

-Hopefully one day you'll find someone you can call the one true rival of your life.

-Weirdo.-Shauna replied.

Damn, he's got it bad., they all thought.

Alola. A tropical paradise.

Green hated it.

Okay, he didn't hate Alola, but he hated the heat. Who came up to this- damn 30°C and thought "I should live in here". He WAS dying, that's totally not overreacting.

He was called to be one of the Battle Tree's Battle Legends. He heard the other one would be Red and his heart was totally not jumping out of his chest, thank you very much. He knew his rival would accept, and Green himself thought of the job to be an interesting experience. He only realised what the fact that there were beaches everywhere implied when he got there. Red. A Battle Legend with Green. Runing around in Alola in...small swimsuits...SWEATING.

His heart couldn't take it.

And when Red got to the arranged place, Green realised it was SO MUCH WORSE THEN HE THOUGHT WHY ARCEUS.

Red was so beautiful. Even more than when they last met. Green was taller and slim, but Red. Red gained MUSCLES and the fact that he was only wearing swim trunks was killing Green. He blushed so hard he felt like he could explode. But then, under the Alolan sun, Red smiled at him, and everything just felt like home. They met halfway in a hug and they had no idea how long they stayed like that. Red lifted Green off his feet on the hug like he weighted nothing and they laughed.

Then, they stared at each other and time just seemed to stop. Both leaned forward and their lips met.

And it was the beginning of yet another new life for the once lonely boy.
