Hello! This is just an Oldrivalshipping story that's just been harassing me lately, so I just had to post part of it. For once, I'm not going to explain my story or anything other than this summary.

Gary Oak, one of the youngest and most successful pokémon researchers in all of the regions, is utterly failing in love; none of the girls can manage to keep his attention. Envious of his other friends and their relationships with their own girlfriends, he decides to jokingly create a list of the ideal qualities that his perfect girl would have. What happens when he meets this strangely perfect girl in the form of Leaf Green? And why does she seem oddly familiar?

Warning: Characters may seem OOC.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. Do you see Leaf in the television series? No. So that's the answer to any stupid question concerning whether I own Pokémon.

The first one talked too much. Granted, it wasn't just about herself, but rather everything going on around her. He couldn't even get one word in edgewise besides the 'hi' at the beginning. And even then he had been interrupted. At the end of the failed date (not that the girl noticed it was failed, anyway), he decided for sure that she had ADHD or something.

The second girl was a stark contrast from the first. She hardly talked at all and seemed content when there was an awkward silence between the two. Gary could only go so far in a conversation with only one participant after all. He scratched that girl off the list.

The third one loved to agree with whatever he said. He'd ask her what she wanted to do next for example, and she'd coyly respond "Whatever you want to do next." It was beyond irritating. If he wanted to date someone who always agreed with him, he could just as easily go out with his reflection.

The fourth one was germaphobic. Very. She had a fanny pack full of hand sanitizers and refused to touch anything with her bare hands. She freaked out when he offered her chips too. Did he know how many germs were in there?! She could catch a disease or something horrendous and die! With her way of thinking, Gary wondered why she even bothered to come outside.

The fifth one was one of those girls. She chatted loudly and made condescending remarks about passing girls' outfits. She wore low cut tops and short skirts, and was constantly winking at him. She had a serious case of the grab hands, reaching out to touch him practically at every moment. At the end of the date, she offered him to come over to her house. As if.

He lost count afterwards. They were all disasters and not even close to decent.

One of his best friends, Drew Hayden, teased him about it all the time.

"Still not settling down into a serious relationship, Gary?" Drew Hayden smirked. "You're such a womanizer."

"At least I don't settle for the first glutton I find," He retorted, referring to the grass head's girlfriend, May Maple.

Drew's face turned an angry red that strangely complimented his hair. Gary noted that it was also the same shade of red that his girlfriend liked to wear. Was that one of the reasons why Drew liked May so much?

"Teasing," Gary held his hands up in mock surrender. "You know I could never say that about May."

And he couldn't. The girl could be rather sweet at times; her bad side only seemed to be brought out by Drew. Strangely, she was a rather skinny thing, despite her love of food.

The color fades from Drew's face. "You seriously need to find a girl," Drew shakes his head.

"Tried it already," Gary groaned. "And miserably crashed and burned each test drive."

"You make it sound like it's an experiment," Drew commented.

"I give up," Gary dropped his head in defeat. "You're with May, Kenny has Dawn, and Ashy Boy found Misty."

"Actually," Drew corrected, "I think Misty found Ash."

"Whatever," Gary grumbled. He couldn't believe that all of his friends had successful relationships and he didn't. What he had done wrong?

"Gary," his grandfather called out him as he left the research lab. "Don't forget to lock up afterwards!"

"Yeah, yeah, Gramps," Gary mumbled, immersed in the specimen under his microscope.

Rumor had it that it was a mix of the legendary pokémon Jirachi's blood and tears. He didn't believe it, but Max Maple (obviously May's little brother) wouldn't let Gary go until he at least looked at it.

Gary sighed, the whole lab was empty. All of the nerdy research aides had left, all having lives of their own to return to. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Gary was a workaholic. He didn't have anyone to spend time with really.

"Why is it so hard to find the girl right for me?' Gary questioned out loud, running his hands through his brunet spikes.

"Maybe I haven't determined the qualities that this girl needs," he determined.

He walked up to one of the computer terminals. They were all of, with the exception of a lone computer that looked a little bit newer than the others.

Gary pulled a red swivel chair up to it and sat down.

'Pretty' Gary typed up first. He didn't mean to sound shallow, but a pretty girl would be nice.

'Good listener' Gary recalled the first one.

The second one had been quiet, but that hadn't been too bad, had it? Besides, he didn't want a girl with a conflicting personality.

'Has her own opinions and supports them' A girl without her own backbone was almost disgusting.

'Not afraid of nature' The germ girl's flaw was next.

'Confident, but not over-confident' Then there was the fifth one.

'Intelligent' He didn't want to be dating a brick after all.

He was about to really get into it when Daisy called him up.

"Yes?" Gary sighed.

"Where are you, little brother?" Daisy asked in concern. "You're not still working, are you?"

"No," Gary half-lied as he got up from the swivel chair and grabbed his stuff.

"Good," Daisy said. "You better come home soon then. A thunder storm will pass over us any minute now."

Gary promised to hurry home and quickly locked up the lab behind him, forgetting about the computer he had left on.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z…zzzzzzzzz…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

A girl blinked, opening her eyes for the first time. The dark room was barely illuminated as lightning struck through the sky. She headed towards the window in wonder, smiling with glee as her fingers touched the cool glass.

She could feel….. She was real.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure where my inspiration for this fic quite came from. Those of you who know me from my previous story (ies), I'm still working on them, so don't think I've dropped them or anything. I just really had to get this idea out there. I also just pretty much wrote it and didn't bother with editing, so I know there's a few mistakes. Please kindly ignore them.

Well, let me know what you think!

Please give me your comments, opinions, and suggestions!
