Hi!! I love your headcanons so much 😭😭 Conflictingshipping is my ultimate fave. How do you headcanon Green became a gym leader, and what was Leaf's reaction? Also why he's at Cinnabar Island in HGSS???
THANKS I ENJOY WRITING THEM!!!!!!!
➞
- green didn’t become a gym leader till after leaf left kanto
- a few weeks after she left, greens still depressed and pissed that 1) the love of his life is gone and 2) she didn’t even say bye to him, so hed spend most of his time at home in his room or somewhere lonely and quiet.
- he always goes to cinnabar bc thats where him and leaf would hang out all the time post-frlg. it was always a nice and open place where they can just watch the ocean and sunset and let their pokemon run around. this is also where he was planning on telling her he loved her. coincidently, also the place she first told him she was leaving kanto. (he was going to tell her that same time but let her say what she wanted to tell him first. bc she told him this, he never told her how he felt)
- one of these days he’s at home, somewhat better than the initial depression of leaf being gone and lance comes by their house. green tells him that if he’s looking for the professor, he’s off in another town today,
- lance tells him he was actually looking for him instead and proceeds to talk about the situation in Viridian, and after a league consensus they thought green would be good for the role.
- at first he’s like ehhh because hello, it ain’t champion, but what the hell i ain’t got anything better to do, so accepts the position
- (plus being an official member of the league gives you a bunch of league benefits which is why he’s able to get his own house later on)
- since every gym has like a back area for the leaders to sleep/work/stay, he just moves into the gym pretty much, beats sitting around with daisy bringing him pity cookies
- and he’s….surprisingly good at it. like he didn’t think he was gonna be a good leader but once he got the hang of it, he actually really cares about Viridian and the people living there
- he completely remodels the gym, helps to improve the city in any way he possibly can, and overall just changes the whole mood/air of the city from the heavy dark emptiness it used to be when Giovanni was there.
- plus everyone loves him. he easily and quickly becomes the most popular gym leader (and probably person overall) in Kanto. he has like a trillion fangirls. some of his gym matches are done outside because the public wants to watch the amazing green oak in action. overall hes very beloved by the public
- although everyone loves him, lance is kind of on a short fuse with him because green,,.,. doesn’t listen.,. ever.,…and lance regrets making him a gym leader lololol,.,.,.,.like he never files his paperwork on time,.. always challenging the league norms,.,. lance is always harassing him to pick a specific type (he wants him to be a ground specialist bc that’s what the gym was before, lance is very traditional) but green, of course, ignores him.
- so bc this all happens during leafs journies, she doesn’t find out until she comes home 2 years later, and when lance and karen take her clothes shopping they talk story about whats being going on. lance forgot that he never told her about this, so it comes out as a “Oh, you didn’t know? It’s Green.”
- and shes shocked.
- she didnt think he would be up for taking the uh.,.,. “second best” position.,..,. like its not even in the e4, but shes surprised and actually proud of him
(and heres just a continuation, expanding on what happens when they actually meet)
- when lance sends her to go greet (and probably challenge) the gym leaders in kanto, she goes to greens gym last because. shes scared. she hasn’t seen him in 2 years and she p much thinks he hates her at this point (she never made contact over the 2 years)
- and ofc green at this point has convinced himself that he’s over her, and that his feelings were some kind of infatuation, a moment of weakness, so whenever anyone asks hes tells them “Oh I’m way over Leaf already psshh”. only some people believe him.
- when she visits green its in the late afternoon when the gym is already closed, so hes actually… sitting in there staring at the picture he carries of him and leaf (its a little roll of photo booth pictures. leaf also has a copy) when she knocks. he thinks its fhfjdhfucking youngster joey again so he yells at whoever that the gym is closed.
- of course. she persists. his voice got deeper since shes been gone and hearing it made her heart beat faster and she was more nervous but she sucked it up and started knocking more
- now greens pissed, and has to fucking stAND UP AND WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE DOOR and slams it open with an angry kind of “I told you the gym is-!” and stops. when. he sees her. he just. yep.
- “…….closed….” is the only thing he manages to mumble out between his racing heart and shaking hands bc.,.,. here she is. the love of his fucking life standing right there and shes still if not more beautiful than when she left and she’s staring up at him with those ruby eyes and he swears his legs are gonna give out before he just, “……….L……Leaf…?”
- and shes just standing there pretty much in the same state hes in. she gulps down whatever fear and meekness she mightve had and when her voice chimes “Hi Green.” hearing her say his name after all this time hes fucking W E A K he missed her so much
- but then., he becomes this mess of emotions and common sense kicks in and he ahjdks starts yelling at her “ WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG ITS BEEN WHY DIDNT YOU CALL ME I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE ONLY GONNA BE GONE A YEAR WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE WITHO” and p much a big loud ass scolding and shes just fjcingi. standing there all scared like a toddler being yelled at by her mom. shes hiding behind her small bag
- after hes done hes just panting and stressed out to which she just kinda giggles out a nervous “S-sorry,..,” and is trying not to giggle at him bc. this is so like him and she missed him so much. it was just great to be around him again.
- when he notices shes actually here for the league paperwork, he invites her into the gym and shows he what he did with the place. the whole time tryna impress her like an idiot. they end up spending the rest of the evening together and get dinner and talk about what they missed
- at the end of the night they have a. serious talk about what went down before she left. and why she left. and why they didnt call or write each other. and why she came back.
- and at the end of this she tells him something to the effect that the reason she came home was. because. she missed him. and at this point they finally. hug and its like the tightest, warmest, most affectionate deep hug and the best feeling ever and green is just. praise Arceus thank you for giving her back to me
