So, I've been reading Pokémon Special fanfics again and this one plot just came into my head. I still haven't finalized the plot though so feel free to give me suggestions. I'd love to implement your ideas into this. After all, I'm not just writing this for myself but also for everyone out there who likes Pokémon Special just as much as I do to enjoy as well. If I do choose to add in your idea, I'll be sure to credit you at the end.

Viridian City Gym, Green's POV
Green woke up early like any other day. Ugh… Hopefully today there'll be tougher kids to battle. He sighed as he sat himself down to a cup of bitter coffee, just the way he liked it. Strong. It's been about two months since all the hubble-bubble of world destruction had died down. And for once, Green was relieved to be free from duty. He was Viridian's gym leader for 4 years now. Almost 5. Yet, he was still only 22. Many called him a genius, a prodigy. But he knew better. Green was Green and he knew his limits. He got to where he was today through hard work and he was proud of it.
Bizp bizp. He glanced around the room for his cellphone. Oh yeah, I left it in the living room.
Yesterday was a busy day. It seemed that the closer the Indigo League Conference was, the more challenges he got. The league was like an on and off button. When it came around for the start of the Indigo League, it was like open season for the Kanto gyms. And, of course, Viridian was the last stop to the league, seeing as how it was situated so close to it.
Many trainers left his gym for last since they all knew that Green never went easy on his challengers. IF they wanted to get to the league, then they'd have to get through me. Green figured that if they couldn't get through him, then they'd be better off not participating in the league anyways. Pfft, harsh? If they can't get through me, then there's no way that they'll even come close to beating him, yet alone him and the Elite 4.
With this thought in mind, Green picked up his phone from the living room's coffee table and groaned at the first glance of the caller ID. Yup, none other than the royal pain. Why'd I give her my number anyways? I don't know…Maybe because I ended up dating her? But that was a story for another time.-Click- 'OMG OMG GREENNNNNN GUESS WHAT?! RED FINALLY ASKED HER~! 3 OOOH I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW'
Green smirked at this. Looks like the guy finally got the nerve to pop the question. Took him long enough. He's had that thing rusting in his pocket for too long. He chuckled to himself. You see, Green had been the first one to know of Red's plan's. Yes Red's. The current Kanto Champion. Number one strongest trainer in the region of Kanto, maybe even in the other 4 regions as well. And Green just so happened to be said trainer's best friend and rival of 11 years. Wow, it's already been 11 years? He chuckled to himself. Looking back on it all, it had been quite the ride. All those adventures and dangerous situations. Green thought to himself once again on how relieved he was to be back where he belonged with everything in normal order.
Anyways, going back to the matter at hand, it was now known that Red had finally proposed to Yellow. Naturally, since Green was Red's best buddy, Red had gone to Green for help as soon as he was determined to go through with it. Red had dragged Green all around the Celadon Department Store for the perfect ring. It was ridiculous. Well… at least in Green's point of view it was. But Green was truly happy for his friend. He remembered when Blue had to force them together after much nudging and matchmaking. That was a part that he was forcefully dragged into as well, something he wasn't so keen on remembering. Oh the things he does for his friends. Pesky woman.
Talking about the number one mischief maker, she was supposed to be meeting him later that day at the café down in Viridian's market square for lunch. Indeed, they had been dating for 2 years now. Amazing really. He never could understand how they ended up tied down to the other. To think that he'd end up with that obnoxious woman who was sometimes too childish for her own good just left him baffled. Green just shook his head and laughed. He'd gotten used to her antics by now. Though sometimes, she still left him speechless.
If he remembered correctly, Blue should be on her way back from work. She was assigned to check on the Global World Trading System down in Goldenrod. Ever since Blue started dating him, she'd been working as an ambassador/assistant for his Gramps. As of now, she was working with Bill, Daisy, and Silver on the GWTS. Silver was currently stationed at Jubilife where the other GWTS was located. With her evolution knowledge and his trading knowledge, they made a great team working on a Pokémon trade system, in this case, the GWTS.
Hm... She should be taking the 7am Magnet Train. That means she'd arrive in Saffron at around 10am. Then she'd have to fly here which shouldn't take too long. We planned to meet at 12pm so she should make it in time. Green eyed the clock. 7:45am..
I guess I should get dressed and open the gym up soon. Might as well open up early to get done early. The gym opened at 9am each morning. But Green decided that opening up at 8am wouldn't these days, what with the league, there was always someone waiting on him to open up.
Green went back up to his room to change into more presentable garments than his traditional forest green and black striped boxers. Hey, if you're living alone then why not? He pulled on a black tank with a dark green cardigan to go on top along with faded blue jeans. When you're named after a color, it's hard not to end up becoming the color. He laughed at this and looked into the mirror after he pulled on a pair of Eevee socks. He looked into the mirror and tried to fix his tousled bed hair to no avail. I never could get that to stay put. He thought with a raised brow. Satisfied that he had a presentable look, he jogged past the living room and down the stairs to the gym lobby. Yeah, that's right. His house is the second story of his gym. Pretty convenient right?
Outside the gym doors, was no doubt a trainer anxiously waiting for the gym to open up. Green made his way to his rightful spot at the head of the Gym and his coworkers were already stationed where they should be. Every gym leader needs some gym trainers to serve as an obstacle to get to the actual Leader. It was league protocol. Green nodded to one of his first gym trainers to signal the gym as open. As he walked down to his post, he greeted his gym members that he had grown to be fond of. They smiled back in return as they knew he wanted to start early and get a head start.
It was common knowledge that he was meeting Blue today. Blue had visited the gym on more than one occasion. And every time she did, the gym seemed to brighten up with energy. After a while, the trainers warmed up to her and now they knew when she'd be visiting as their Gym leader would start the gym early to close early. Today just happened to be one of those days.
It was a weekend, a Saturday to be specific, and normally Gyms close on the weekends, however Green was a hard worker. He chose to open for select hours during the weekends since it was almost time for the Pokémon League and all.
The first challenger entered the gym with a bounce to his step. You could tell by his facial expression that he was nervous. After all, Green's gym was unique. Most gyms are specialized to one type only. Take Misty for example. Her Cerulean gym is known to be a water type only gym. However, Green chose to be well-rounded. He didn't want challengers to come in with a type advantage over all the gym's Pokémon. This is why he chose a multi-faceted gym. Yup, it was going to be a tough challenge. Just the way Green liked it.
Hope this was a decent chapter. R&R to keep me updated on your thoughts. I'll try to post the next one up tomorrow. Yeah... This is my first story.
