<p><i>Okay, okay-</i> I know <span class="npf_color_ross">you</span> said that it was okay for us to make assumptions, but know that I still feel bad about it. But also know that I'm about to do it again.</p><p>Are you, like... <i>another Blue?</i> Wait- that sounds all kinds of wrong. <i>Lemme explain my weird thought process here-</i></p><p><i>Sooooo...</i> You referred to Verdant as <i>"Burū," </i>right? If my brain can make proper connections, then <i>"Burū"</i> means <i>"<span class="npf_color_rachel">Blue</span>,"</i> I think. Now, in all fairness, this could just be a nickname that I'm looking way too into for no reason, but if she's "<span class="npf_color_rachel"><i>Blue</i></span>" then that would make you "<span class="npf_color_ross"><i>Green</i></span>." Now wait a second, <i>"Obviously" </i>I hear you saying already—of course, you're <span class="npf_color_ross"><i>Green</i></span><i>.</i> That's what you call yourself and that's what we've all been referring to you as. But I'm thinking about this, and by proxy <i>you</i>, in a regional difference kinda way.</p><p>You said earlier that there wasn't just one copy or Cartridge of Generation 1 hangin' around. I can only assume that you mean the four commercially available versions of Generation 1: <i><span class="npf_color_joey">Red</span></i>, <i><span class="npf_color_rachel">Blue</span></i>, <span class="npf_color_ross"><i>Green</i></span> and <i><span class="npf_color_monica">Yellow</span></i>. Now, Red and Green were released first in the East, but Red, Blue and Yellow all became geared towards the West and the rest of the world later on, while Green remained exclusive in Japan. I know this sounds like a weird tangent, but I bring this up because in the West, the Rivals name is "<span class="npf_color_rachel"><i>Blue</i></span>," but in the East, it's "<i><span class="npf_color_ross">Green</span></i>." The names "<span class="npf_color_rachel"><i>Blue</i></span>" and "<i><span class="npf_color_ross">Green</span></i>" got swapped at some point during the international transition, not just for the Rivals but for the Girl characters as well, with who we know in the West as "<span class="npf_color_ross"><i>Leaf</i></span>" or "<i><span class="npf_color_ross">Green</span></i>" being called "<i><span class="npf_color_rachel">Blue</span></i>" in Japan. So for you to call her "<i>Burū</i>" and you to be named Green, I mean you're in Viridian City and you've even got the spiky hair so... <i>You- You can see how my brain made this connection, right?</i></p><p>…<i>I'm sorry</i>, I don't know why I just yapped this at you. Honestly, your relationships and identity are <i>none</i> of my business. Everything I just said could <i>100%</i> be a coincidence and I would completely accept that because I know nothing of the world you all live in. <i><b>Or</b></i>, I could be <i>extremely</i> dense and could be walking on some <i>very <b>very </b></i>thin ice with you right now—<i>I don't know! </i>Y'know what? I've said too much. <i>Just-</i> Just write this entire thing off as a weird thought!<i> ...yeah, a weird thought...</i></p><p><i><small>Please don't be mad...</small></i></p>
Green stares at you blankly for a few seconds, you can’t really tell what he’s thinking.. Oh no You hope he’s not ma-
“SNnnnrrk-BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Oh. He’s laughing at you. Really hard too.
It takes him a few seconds to compose himself enough to get his first response out
“Heh- Hah- Hehheh- Damn- Heh- I’m not gonna bite yer head off man, am I really that threatening? Trust me- I may get mad easy but I don’t just go in on some guy for some bullshit reason I’m not Reddo.”
He quietly snickers for a couple more moments before seeming to completely calm down enough to actually answer the question.
“But really, No offense taken really. Make your guesses all you want, This one’s a good one, but, alas, it’ll always be the last answer you come to heh. Anyways though,” He pauses, gathering his thoughts before he continues on.
“No, I’m not a Gurin. But I did grow up with one, He’s a fine guy. Threw rocks at him and the like, ya know how it is. He kinda ignored me like I wasn’t there though. As I said, very good guess, keep it up, ‘Like how ya put things together but, nah. Reddo is Reddo, Burū is Burū, Gurin is Gurin, and Me? Well.. I’m just me. My name isn’t Gurin anyways, if anything my name is Midori. ”
