Leaf is a curious girl from Pallet Town. The Generation I instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, Blue, stopped playing with him and became a bully, so presumably this is true for Leaf, Red's female counterpart, as well. Her adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.
Leaf is a curious girl from Pallet Town. It is assumed that it holds true that she, much like her male counterpart Red, became interested in Pokémon after her best friend, Blue, stopped playing with her and became a bully. Her adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.


Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself.

When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, having Leaf find herself into new places, including the [[Sevii Islands]].


Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try to revive the group.

==Names==
===Name origin===
Although "Leaf" is by far the name she is most commonly known by in the community, she has no official given name. Her name is based on dummy Trainer data of FireRed and LeafGreen, with the male main character being named "Red". Oddly enough {{ga|Blue}} also has dummy Trainer data under the name "Terry" so this raises a question about the validity of the names.
 
She is also sometimes referred to as '''Fuguri''' (フグリ) in the Japanese fandom. The name is derived from {{tt|リー'''フグリ'''ーン|LeafGreen}} (rī'''fugurī'''n).
