Foresight

Summary:

Blue's generally suspicious activities lead her back to the Pallet Pokemon Lab to visit an old friend. Despite initial hesitancy, Green is dragged along for another of Blue's shenanigans. How could things go wrong? Though she is a meticulous planner, even Blue's best laid plans can fall apart.

I'm keeping this pretty clean as far as language and content goes.
[Rating for violence and alcohol. Set roughly 10 years after Pokemon R/B/Y.]

Notes:

In honor of Pokemon's 20th anniversary, I'm posting this story that's been in my head for awhile. Please be patient with my updates as I'm pretty busy with classes (but I will finish the story). I'm always up for constructive criticism. Thanks and please enjoy!

Note (perspective): Most personalities are based on the manga characters, and I will do my best to keep them in character despite that I haven't read much past the gen 3 chapters (I got distracted). I've played every generation of game, so many extraneous details will come from the games rather than the manga. I prefer Blue (F) and Green (M) for the names just because I think they fit.

Chapter 1: A Surprise Visit

Chapter Text

Background:

Green (male) and Blue (female) are in their early to mid twenties. Green was the Viridian City gym leader for a time, but got bored for lack of serious challengers and quit to pursue research. Green currently works at the Pallet Pokemon Lab and is working on his doctorate. Blue has been up to who-knows-what, but keeps in touch with her parents and Silver. Red has been away traveling for some time, and no one knows for sure where he is.

A Surprise Visit

Squinting, Green attempted to make sense of his own chicken-scratch handwriting. Just as he managed to decipher the first few lines of his research notes, a warm breeze blew through the room. The front door of the laboratory swung open, letting in the blinding, midday sunlight, and revealing a female figure Green recognized at a glance. Oh, no. I don't have time for this, he thought, quickly looking back to his notebook. Waltzing through the middle of the Pallet Pokemon Lab, Blue stopped in front of Green's desk and flashed him a wicked grin. Here comes trouble, he thought, still looking at his papers. The entire lab staff watched on, their work completely forgotten the moment Blue walked through the door. Finally, Green looked up from his notes with an exasperated sigh.

"What do you want?" Green questioned. Whatever it is, it can't be good, he thought.

"I found him," Blue replied, leaning on his desk with her arms crossed.

"Who?" Green asked, already guessing at the answer.

"Red," She said plainly, her smile widening. Green glanced back at his notes.

"Come on, don't you want to know?" Blue taunted.

"I'm busy," was all he offered in reply.

"You're no fun at all!" Blue sighed as she snatched a pen and paper from Green's desk. After scribbling a quick note, she left the page next to his notebook and turned to leave.

"If you change your mind, come find me," Blue said, giving a casual wave as she walked away.

"Hey wait, that's my...pen," Green trailed off, but Blue was already gone.
