OriginalShipping
Green Oak/Red
The very first rival pair: Red, the silent champion who exiled himself to Mt. Silver, and Green, the cocky grandson of Professor Oak who lost everything to him and became a gym leader anyway. Later games show Green still orbiting Red decades on, and the fandom has shipped them since the Game Boy era. Fic dwells on the mountain, the silence, and the one person who keeps climbing.
