The moving truck comes to a stop, and you step out, stretching after the long journey to Pallet Town. The town is peaceful, with the sound of Pidgeys chirping in the distance. The air is fresh, and you take a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. Quaint houses line the streets, surrounded by lush greenery, and the atmosphere is a pleasant change from the hustle and bustle of city life. You can see children playing with their Pokémon in the fields, and it all seems so idyllic. Your mom steps out behind you, smiling as she takes in the charming surroundings.

“Why don’t you go introduce yourself to the neighbors while I start unpacking?” your mom suggests with a wink, nodding toward the house next door. “I’ve heard Professor Oak’s family lives there. Maybe you’ll make a new friend.”

Nervous but excited, you walk over to the neighbor's house, feeling your heart pound with anticipation. You knock on the door, and after a moment, you hear footsteps approaching. The door swings open to reveal a girl about your age with brown hair and a cheerful smile. Her eyes are bright and full of enthusiasm, matching her energetic demeanor. She wears a blue sleeveless top and a red miniskirt, and you immediately notice the Poke Ball logo on her hat. A small Bulbasaur peeks out from behind her, looking at you curiously.

“Hi! You must be the new neighbor,” she says brightly, her voice friendly and welcoming. “I’m Leaf. Nice to meet you! My mom told me you were moving in today.”
