#hey where did you get your pattern for x pokemon from?

[dailypokemoncrochet]

I get irrationally angry when people ask me where did I get my patterns from and can I link them my resources

As unbelievable as it may be that I freehand crochet literally every single Pokemon, don't you think it would be more unbelievable if I somehow had found patterns for more than 539 unique pokemon?? Like for at least 20 of these I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who's made that specific Pokemon so far! What the hell kind of magic you think I'm using to successfully find a pattern for all of these??

#text #im in one of my moods #i have to compensate by acting like im hot shit #anyway i mostly have stopped posting on reddit #and before that i turned off the chat option #because people would keep popping up with thia question #most people dont even think to ask if its my pattern or freehanded it #they all assume i have found so many patterns #which is baffling to me #you are thinking im incredible for the wrong reason #my skill is in the creating the patterns not finding them >_> #also!! #always struck me as bit rude to just out of nowhere ask #hey where did you get your pattern for x pokemon from? #or #hey can you troubleshoot what i did wrong with my crochet? #and then i gotta shut down my former teacher mode #this isnt office hours and i don't know you! #might del later when i feel less snippy

REQUEST: Birthday - Raihan x Reader One-shot

Pairing: Raihan x Reader 

[One shot - more like a Drabble tbh]

Sorry it’s so short. This was harder than I realised O_O I hope you like it tho

Fluff, SFW

Title: Birthday

...

It’s your birthday in a few weeks and you noticed Raihan had been acting weird.

Firstly, he started coming home late.

Like really late.

Secondly, he wouldn’t tell you where he went, just that he had ‘something to sort out’.

Third, he began smelling...strange.

Not so much like aromatic perfume, but more of a musky, earth smell.

When you google up the signs, they all seem to point that your boyfriend of several years could be cheating on you. 

Raihan would never cheat on me, you find yourself thinking to yourself. He just won’t.

But what was really going on was that Raihan was planning a birthday surprise for you and had spent a long time with the presentation and preparation.

You’d been together for a few years now and every year, he’d gotten you something different.

For the first year, he surprised you with a designer handbag and a luxury weekend getaway but he soon learned that you’re not too intrigued or crazed about labels or enchanting locations but all in all, it was a lovely birthday treat and there were several good memories from that.

For your birthday the next year, he got you a baby Pokemon and whisked you off to Alola for a daring skydiving session over Akala Island. 

And the year after that, there was no more beating around the bush and he straight up asked you what wanted and you said you weren’t too fussed because you don’t need Raihan to go all out or take you to such expensive places.

It could be also to do with getting old and being around him for so long that you didn’t have much to look forward to nor did you want anything in particular, you did tell him that you would rather just spend a nice evening with him and have a delicious home cooked, candlelit meal.

However, Raihan’s still determined to treat you so this year too, so he asked the gym leaders what would be a good birthday present for his lover and received mixed results:

Opal told him he should try baking a cake. 

Milo told him a Wooloo is the key to a woman’s heart, but you already have one.

Nessa thought a meal at The Captain’s Table would do the trick.

Kabu said a trip to Hoenn would possibly suffice.

Piers also gave him tickets to his concert.

Raihan rubbed his chin, wondering if it was possible to combine all those ideas but then realised it’s better to come up with something far more original and something that would resonate more with you.

Therefore, he found himself sitting down on the grassy pitch of Hammerlocke stadium one day, writing ideas down. He eventually compiled a list and went through it many times, ticking several ideas off. He even resorted to online videos for inspiration.

In the end, he remembered how much you love Goomy and an idea formed in his mind.

Keeping it as a surprise was harder than preparing the actual surprise.

And the more he came home late and the more he gave you excuses as to why he was being so darned secretive, the more he saw your face falling when he would refuse to disclose where he was going, the more it pained him inside.

Finally, on the day of your birthday, you’re first to wake up and although you try to wake him up too, he’s exhausted because he came home so late last night so all you can do is get ready for work, wriggling free from his grip and slipping off the bed. 

You silently get dressed albeit watching him worriedly before you head downstairs to make breakfast and as you munch on your cereal, reading this morning’s news on your phone, you hear the steps creaking one by one and soon Raihan appears in the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

“Hey babe,” he greets you wearily, shoving his feet into his flip-flops and making his way to the sink where he fixes himself a glass of water.

“Hi babe,” you reply, watching him down the drink before he lowers his hand, wiping his mouth.

You both regard each other for a few moments before you clear your throat. 

He looks at you expectantly. “What’s wrong?”

You’re grinning, nudging your head to the calendar. 

Raihan watches you silently, taking another sip.

“...Aren’t you forgetting something?” you say, your grin widening.

He takes another sip.

You end up huffing, crossing your arms. “Rai. Today is-”

“Ah, that’s right,” Raihan says, before he smirks at you. You nod, sitting up properly in your seat. “How could I forget?”

“Yes yes?”

“It’s your-”

“Yes?”

“It’s your b-”

You’re leaning further in your seat expectantly. “Yes?”

“Brother’s seminar today, isn’t it? He’s hosting a special training event at Hammerlocke University.”

There is a brief silence following his reply.

“Oh....” you mumble out; you’re visibly deflating, slumping in your seat and throwing your saddened gaze to the floor, “....Yeah, it is. Funny you remembered that and not...well, you know.”

But he’s looking at the clock, “Shouldn’t you be heading for work now?” he adds, “You’re gonna be late.”

“Oh, uh, yeah,” you finish the rest of your cereal as quickly as you can and slide off your seat, grabbing your bag, donning your coat and slinging it over your shoulder. “I’ll be back at six.”

“Okay, see ya. Have fun at work.” Raihan says, and he pulls you in for a quick kiss before pinching you briefly on the ass, and you leave the house.

Once the door closes, Raihan rubs the back of his neck awkwardly when he recalls how disappointed you look, “....I’m really pushing it, aren’t I?” he utters to himself. 

...

Raihan couldn’t have forgotten the date of your birthday, could he?

You’ve been together for years now.

At work, your coworkers surprise you with a birthday card and a box of chocolates which you are grateful for. You will be going out for drinks with them another day.

They ask you what Raihan got you for your birthday and if he surprised you with anything this morning but you tell them he didn’t mention anything but he remembered your brother’s seminar, not your birthday.

They’re stunned by the revelation and you think, hell I should’ve kept my trap shut because it sounds embarrassing but they tell you maybe he has a surprise waiting for you at home.

You inwardly hope that’s the case.

Work is over in a pinch and you begin to finish up for the day, leaving the office.

You always treat yourself to something nice on your birthday but today you will just pop into the grocery store and buy one of your favourite snacks. 

Once you’ve grabbed a few packets and paid for them, you head home with your goodies and check your phone. You haven’t received any messages from Raihan all day; he’s been awfully silent since and you can’t help but feel extremely disappointed but also, this is rather uncharacteristic of him. 

However, when you open the front door and step inside, you realise the entire hallway has been outlined with little chubby candles.

Your jaw drops open in shock.

“What the...”

And you hastily put down the bag of groceries on the cupboard and kick off your shoes, glancing around.

It’s a pleasant surprise so you step further down the dimly lit hallway, smiling to yourself as you marvel the beautiful display. 

You follow the candles all the way towards your shared bedroom and you open the door only to bring your hands to your mouth to cover your gasp.

Raihan sits on the bed facing you, which is decorated entirely with rose petals and in front of him on the floor are a number of Goomy arranged to form a heart. They all look up at you, blinking their little beady eyes upon your arrival.

“Oh my god!” You exclaim before Raihan grins widely; he’s holding a little silver harmonica in hand.

“Hey baby girl,” he replies, as you gape at the group of Goomy who gurgle happily at you, before you avert your gaze to the gym leader.

“What is this????”

“Your birthday present,” Raihan’s grin broadens. “Watch.”

He lifts the harmonica to his lips and blow a single note which rings lightly in the air, and suddenly the Goomy begin to sing in harmony to the tune of the ‘Happy Birthday’ song.

You smack a hand over your mouth with delight and shock as they warble. 

The Goomy seem to know when to take turns and harmonise in a series of watery gurgles and loud chirping and begin waving to and fro in a mesmerising pattern, their round and squishy bodies bobbing up and down in tune to the song whilst their little horns wiggle in the air. 

The song is almost finished and a particularly chubby Goomy opens its mouth wide and emits a low bass tone to finish the song which makes you giggle.

You squat in front of the group once the song is over and the Goomy cheerfully gather around you as you hold your arms out.

“That was amazing!!!” you gush, patting each and every one of them on their heads and stroking their horns. They line up single file and you giggle and proceed to lift each and every Goomy off the floor and into your arms, hugging them tightly, and pecking them on the top of their heads one by one. “You guys were awesome!”

Once you’re finished, the Goomy jump up and down on their spots happily and you move to stand; Raihan beckons you closer to him and you eagerly step over towards him and he pulls you into his arms and settles you into his lap, wrapping his arms around your waist.

“I thought you forgot...” you say with a pout, fiddling with the white little straps of his hoodie.

“I’d never forget your birthday,” he murmurs, reaching forwards to press a sweet kiss on your lips. 

“Is this the reason why you were always coming home so late? You were teaching them to sing for me...”

“Yeah.”

“And that smell!” you exclaim.

Raihan blinks blankly at you. “What smell?”

“It’s Goomy,” you chuckle and slink your arms around his neck, kissing him tentatively in response. “I should’ve known.”

“Hehe, but you didn't. Did you like it?” he asks, before he leans forwards and presses his lips deeply against the curve of your cheek, letting go to briefly nuzzle you at the same time, making you squirm and giggle in his grip.

“Yes!” you exclaim, before you throw your arms around him tightly. “Thank you so much, I love it!”

“Anything for you, baby girl,” he replies with a grin, and you smile as he encircles his arms around you, bringing you into a deep, passionate kiss.

EXTRA:

Raihan’s gotten you more gifts of course. He spoils you rotten.

Also, no Goomy’s were harmed in this production.

A song to heal a tired soul 13 (Piers x Raikichi)

Rated: Teen and mature

Warning: Bad language

Notes: Raikichi is around 25 years old

------------------PART 13-----------------

I woke up with a groan and when I saw the time in my Rotom Phone, I sighed and then, I stood up carefully cause I didn’t want to wake up Piers, who was sleeping pacefully. When I moved, he mumbled something on his sleep, so before he could wake up, I gave him my Galarian Zigzagoon plushie and I sighed in relief when he hugged it and turned, now his back facing me. I put my big hoodie on and after taking all my notebooks, I went to the living room. Since I had that weird dream last night, I understood I couldn’t give up gathering information about legends and stories about the Pokemon that all in all the regions. My maternal grandmother wanted to gather that information in a book, and I would do it for her.

Once I put all the notebooks on the living table, I prepared a cup of hot cocoa and after picking some Lava cookies and putting them on a plate, I sat down on the couch, my legs crossed as I started to read all the texts I had from all the information I gathered, from Sinnoh to Alola, going trough Johto, Hoenn, Kanto and Unnova as well. Glaceon yawned and stretched before starting to lick her fur and then, she called my attention. I put the cup on the table and after preparing some food for her and for my uncle and Piers’ Pokemon, I returned to my spot on the couch, crossing my legs again.

“Kiddo, do you know what time is it?” uncle Kabu asked as he entered the living room with a yawn 

“Uh?” I said and then, I looked to the clock in the wall and saw that I’ve been there for two hours. I put the papers next to me and I drank the rest of my hot cocoa, and when I finished it, I went to pick another cup

“And all these papers?” my uncle asked as I returned to my spot while he examinated my notebooks

“Notes from by researches” I said drinking a bit more of hot cocoa before eating a Lava cookie “I want to finish grandma’s dream...”

I finished eating the cookies and then I drank my hot cocoa as I kept reading my notes. Uncle Kabu was preparing his breakfast when Piers came into the living room, yawning. He passed his arms awound my shoulders and put his chin on my head “Morning, babe...” he said with a yawn

“Morning, love” I replied with a chuckle as I finished my hot cocoa

“Did you assault a library?” he asked sitting next to me when I retired some of the papers 

“Very funny” I said tugged him softly by his necklace in order to kiss him before licking his lips, and chuckling when he blushed madly at that 

“You are gathering interesting information, babe” Piers said reading some of the papers “Maybe you could go to Hammerlocke again and trying to get to the vault and hoping Raihan doesn’t interrupt you and...”

“Piers, you have a great idea!!” I said happily, startling the Pokemon that were sleeping on the carpet “I’m going to prepare myself while you have breakfast” I added kissing his cheek before picking all the papers and ntoebooks, and once I organized them and put them on my black bag, I went to take a bath. 

Thirty minutes later, Piers entered in the bathroom while I was still in the bathtub. “Did you eat your breakfast or you have devoured it?” I said laughing as he got naked and entered the bathtub

“I ate it like a normal person, babe” he said as he allowed me to wash his long hair “So...We should see the Flying Taxi that we can take as soon as we exited the house”

“You want to come with me to Hammerlocke?” I asked as I removed the shampoo from his hair and let him wash his body “I think you’re going to get bored seeing me investigating the Vault and reading a lot of books”

“Well, you could tell me about your findigs. Maybe ya could make me find history more interesting, ya know” he replied as we finished bathing

“Then I’ll hope you don’t get bored spending hours there” I said giggling as we get dried and dressed

Once we were ready, I put my snowflake pattern hoodie on, putting my black and blue jacket inside my bag. My outfit, the back and blue one with one bare leg, didn’t match very well with the hoodie that Raihan gave to me that day, but I didn’t care. “Where is the uniform I gave to you?” Piers asked as we took the Flying Taxi to Hammerlocke

“Washing” I said “I got in a middle of a little fight between my Salazzle and my uncle’s Salazzle”

“Oh, I see”

We arrived at Hammerlocke and we approached the Stadium, asking for Raihan. Where could Dragon Boy be? He was tall and he was always surrounded by fans, so it should be easy to find him, but today wasn’t my luck. “Glaceon, why you don’t go and find Raihan?” I said and Glaceon nodded, running to find Dragon Boy

“Do you think she would find him?” Piers said and then, we heard a loud yell “Yep, she found him”

Raihan ran towards us followed by Glaceon and when we saw him, we couldn’t help but laugh “Hey! Tell her not to freeze my legs!!”

“Okay, okay, calm down, Dragon Boy” I said as I gave a sweet Poffin “Good girl, you brought us Dragon Boy”

“And you are the one who complains about me calling you ‘Little Champion?’“ Raihan asked rising an eyebrow

“At least I don’t joke with your height” I said with a sigh “Piers and me are going to the Vault and since you interrupted my research the other day, you owe me a permission pass to the Vault. And Piers will come with me, to help me with my investigations”

“Alright, but keep your hands busy in the books and not in other things” Dragon Boy said teasing me and he won a hit on his side with my my elbow “Ow!”

“You deserved it” Piers said as he passed his arm over my shoulders before we went to the Vault.

Once in the Vault, I let my Meowstic and my Galarian Ponyta out of their Pokeballs while Glaceon found herself a spot to be comfy. “Ready to learn some history?” I asked Piers as I put all my notes in the floor before going to check the tapestries.

“With you? Always, babe” he said as he took the notebook I gave him and started to take notes of the things that called his attention.

------------------

I didn’t know how many hours I spent there. I knew that Piers and me had a short lunch before keeping investigating. Meowstic and Ponyta were using  Psychic to make my notes float around me in order as I kept writing and taking notes. “These runes...” I murmured examining the runes of the tapestries again “How curious...But the books tell something different...” I murmured as I read the first notes I took about the Galarian legend of the hero that saved the region once “The statue in the Budew Drop Inn is a representation of one heroe...But the tapestries here in the Vault show two heroes...Two kings...” I murmured again as I kept taking notes ignoring that someone was coming to the Vault.

“Hey, Little Champion!” Raihan said and I shouted scared as I jumped startled. Ponyta and Meowstic jumped startled as well, and when they stopped using Psychic, all my notes fell down to the floor, messing between them.

“FUCK YOU RAIHAN!!” I yelled at him after I saw what happened “LOOK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!”

“Hey, calm down, Little Champion” he said rising both hands but Glaceon stopped him of approaching me

“HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU HAVE RUINED MY RESEARCH?!” I said in the edge of tears “Those pages weren’t organized yet...”

“Calm down, babe” Piers said putting a hand on my shoulder “We can organize them, right? Don’t get stressed, love”

I took a deep breath before ordering Ponyta and Meowstic to use Psychic again in order to see the pages, and once I was sure about their order, I picked themm with Raihan watching with his back againts the wall and Piers helping me picking my things. “I think those are the last ones...” I said as I put them on the folder

“Hey...I didn’t want to interrupt you, Rakichi” Raihan said scratching the back of his head “But I was worried cause you were spending many hours here?”

“Many...hours?” I asked before looking to Piers “Piers, what time is it?”

“21:30 pm” he said and I gasped

“S-Sorry...When I focus in something, I don’t look at the time...” I said and then, I looked at Raihan when he gave me something that he picked from the floor “Oh...”

“I think this is yours” he said as I picked the photo

“Yeah...” I said looking at the photo of my grandma and me when I looked at Raihan, I sighed “Sorry for yelling at you...This research is something really important for me since it was my grandma’s biggest dream...And I want to finish it to honor her...And the idea of messing up those notes and loosing some of them...” 

“That’s a good way to remember her” Piers said smiling softly “Shall we go now?”

I nodded and after making Ponyta and Meowstic return to their Pokeballs, I picked my things and together with my Glaceon, we left the Vault, saying goofbye to Raihan as we took a Flying Taxi back to Mototoske. Once in my uncle’s home, I explained my plans for the enxt days, and both Piers and my uncle looked at me like if I went mad.

“Are you serious? Remember what happened that day with that Haxorus” uncle Kabu said worried

“Uncle, it happens that I Charizard was flying over that Haxorus’ territory” I said preparing the things I was going to take with me “Listen, I know you’re both worried, but if I want to learn more about the Wild Area I have to explore it.”

“But...”

“Uncle, I was in worst places. i travelled through many places” I said “Trust me, I’ll be fine”

My uncle gave Piers a look that meant ‘Help me with this’ and when they heard me sigh, they sighed as well. “And when are ya think to leave?” Piers asked as I finished preparing my things before prearing the dinner.

“Tomorrow early if I want to take the first Flying Taxi” I said “That will give me time to set the camp and make my first preparations. I want to investigate the Power Spots since I have the theory that both Dynamax and Gigantamax are related with the events of the Darkest Day, and that’s what I want to investigate.”

We spent the rest of the night most in silence until I went to my room. Piers and my uncle were really worried about me, but they wouldn’t stop me of opening new horizons. As I covered myself with the blankets once I laid down in bed, Piers entered in my room in order to change to his sleeping clothes and then, he spooned me, his chest againts my back.

“I want to go with ya, babe...” he whispered onto my neck

“I know, but I don’t want you to get in danger. Marnie woouldn’t forgive me for that”

“True...Promise me that you’ll call me if something goes wrong. Promise me that you’ll text me to tell me you’re okay...”

“I will...Or at least I’ll try, ‘kay? Now, let’s sleep”

---------------------

“Did you make sure you have everything with you?” uncle Kabu said as we walked to the Flying Taxi, with the sun still rising

“Yes, uncle, I have everything”

“Take care out there, kiddo” he said, his hands on my shoulders before hugging me “Don’t forget I’m proud of you”

“I know, uncle” I said and then, he let Piers hug and kiss me “Don’t worry, babe, I’ll be fine...”

“I’ll trust you, babe...But please, be careful”

I nodded and after another kiss, I took the Flying Taxi in direction to the Lake of Outrage. Once there, I started to set everything and once I was done, I went to investigate the first Power Spots. Clouds were getting a bit dark, but I trusted I would have the enough time to make my first researches until the weather turned worst.

--------------------------PIERS’ POV--------------------------------

Three. Three fucking days had passed since the last time I talked to Raikichi. She promised she would be okay, that she would try to text me to tell me everything was fine, but from three days I didn’t get any calls or messages, and I was starting to worried A LOT. 

I decided to go to Mototoske in order to speak with Kabu, and to my surprise, he was also like me; worrying about Raikichi. “Hey, Kabu” I greeted him “Did Raikichi call you?”

“No. No calls, no mesages...And she doesn’t answer my calls”

“The same happens with me” I said “I called her many times, but she doesn’t answer. I’m starting to think that something really bad happened to her”

“And what do you want to do? Right now most of the Wild Area is being affected by a really serious hail storm and the Flying Taxis aren’t flying there, not until the storm calms down”

I cursed to myself but then, I had an idea “I’ll go to the Wild Area. I’ll find Raikichi and I’ll bring her back”

“And how do you think you’re doing that?” Kabu asked

“I have a plan” I said before running to Mototoske main entrance as I called Leon “Hey, Leon, meet me in the main entrance of Mototoske, the one where ends East Lake Axewell. Don’t ask now. Time is running out” I said and I hanged out the call as I kept running.

-----

“Piers, what’s going on?” Leon asked me once he arrived to the meeting place on his Charizard

“Raikichi went to explore the Wild Area” I said

“Well, she will be fine, you should...”

“It has passed three days since she went out there. Three days without knowing anything about her. The Flying Taxis don’t fly cause the hail storm, and Raikichi is out there, and who knows if she is wounded or in danger. That’s why I called you”

Leon stood in silence for few seconds beofre letting me mount on his Charizard “Hold on tight!” he said and Charizard flew away with us. The hail storm was really strong, but Raikichi needed help, and I wouldn’t leave my girlfriend alone in a dangerous and hostile place. “Did she tell you where she was going to be?” I heard Leon asking

“No, but we should fly a bit lower if we weant to see something!”

Charizar went a bit down and we went our way in direction to the Lake of Outrage, where the hail storm was even more stronger. When I thought I would never been able to see anything, Leon told me to look down; a Pokemon was using Ice Beam and Ice Shard, throwing them to the sky. “Charizard, go down” Leon ordered and Charizard landed near of the Pokemon that resulted to be a Glaceon. Raikichi’s Glaceon.

“Glaceon, girl!” I said running to her in order to stroke her. She was really REALLY nervous and scared, and when she saw me, she grabbed the sleeve of my jacket and pulled with all her strenght “Take us with her, girl”

Glaceon guided us through the hail storm, stopping some times to look around her, like if she was ready to run away if she heard something. After near thirty minutes, we arrived to Raikichi’s camp. Glaceon made a weak sound and Raikichi’s Infernape went out of the tent. Infernape pointed the tent and I didn’t doubt to enter inside. There she was, with her Salazzle, Quilava and Raboot trying to warm her up. She was very pale, and when I knelt down to check on her, I noticed she was really REALLY cold. Her lips were blue, and they were turning purple. Her hair was wet, so she had fallen in the Lake. But it worried me more were the wounds that she had, not very serious, but the enough to worry me.

“Hey, babe, it’s me...” I said taking her on my arms. She didn’t answer. I had to put my ear on her chest twice to make sure that she was breathing. Yes, she was breathing, but very weakly, and her heartbeat was also weak. “No, no...Please, open your eyes...Please...” I cried as I hugged her

“Piers, did you...By the love of all living things, is she...?”

“No, she isn’t death” I said as I wrapped her with more blankets “But if we don’t take her back to Mototoske, she will be”

I let my Obstagoon to get out of his Pokeball in order to grab Raikichi as I returned her Infernape, Quilava and Salazzle back to their Pokeballs. Then, I picked all her things as quick as I could with Leon’s help, including her tent, and once we were ready, I mounted on Charizar and then, I took her into my arms after making Obstagoon return. Leon mounted as well, and he made his Charizard fly as fast as he could. Time was running out for Raikichi, and I wasn’t going to loose her.

Once we arrived to Mototoske, Obstagoon was out again of his Pokeball and now he was grabbing Raikichi firmly. Leon returned his Charizard to his Pokeball and together, we ran to Kabu’s house, Glaceon in front of us. She looked exhausted, but for her trainer, she would do everything. Glaceon cried loudly in front un Kabu’s door and when he opened the door and spotted us, all the color left his face when she saw in what shape Raikichi was. “Take her inside” he said as he let us enter “I’ll prepare her a warm bath to make her get warm”

I nodded and as he prepared the bath, I hugged her closer to me, trying to keep her warm. Leon offered his cape and I didn’t reject it; we needed to keep her warm. Then, Kabu told me that the bath was ready and I quickly rushed to the bathroom, removing all the blankets, and her wet clothes. Once she wa snaked, I slowly put her on the warm water, and slowly, she started to recover a bit of color. Glaceon entered, with Raikichi’s sleeping clothes on her mouth. I thanked her and once I made sure Raikichi was warm enough, I took her out of the bathub and I dried her with care before getting her on her sleeping clothes. Then, Obstagoon took her to her room, and once she was on the bed, we covered her with the blankets.

“It looks that she has a very serious pneumonia” Kabu said after checking on his niece 

“She will recover, I know she will...” I murmured squeezing her cold hand gently

“She will. We should know what happened but first, whe need to make sure she surpass this” her uncle said. His voice was trembling; he was near to cry, not like me. I was crying; I didn’t want to loose the love of my life. 

With a sigh, I called Marnie and after explaining her what happened, I told her to bring me more clothes. Once I hanged out the call, Leon entered the room. “If you need help, don’t doubt on calling me”

“Thanks Leon..Without you, we wouldn’t be able to find her alive...”

He was near to say something when Raikichi started to tremble and shiver. I touched her forehead; she was burning too hot. Glaceon noticed that, cause she was now on the bed, her tail on her trainer’s forehead and using her ice powers to lower the fever. That Glaceon was really ready to do everything for her trainer. She was exhausted, but there she was, trying to low Raikichi’s fever, and in order to help her with Raikichi’s fever were her Alolan Ninetales and her Weavile, ready to replace Glaceon when she needed to rest. Leon said goodbye and told Kabu to call him if we needed something. Few hours later, Marnie arrived with my clothes and after telling me that Raikichi would surpass this, she left to the Budew Drop Inn while I stayed in Kabu’s house.

After having a simple dinner, I went back to Raikichi’s room. She was still unconscious, breathing with difficult as her breath and heartbeat tried to go back to normal. With a sigh, I changed to my sleeping clothes and laid down on bed, stroking Glaceon’s fur while Weavile was now watching in order to act if she needed to low her trainer’s fever.

“It’s going to be a long night” I said as I hummed a song for my muse, my brave love, my lovely girlfriend...Raikichi...”I know you’ll survive to this, babe...”

“Hey! Hey, you kidnapping bastard! Give me my daughter back, asshole!”

“That's about the reaction I expected, yes.” Loki said, holding on to his composure in the face of your enraged father. He was an entire ocean away, and merely a mortal man of no consequence, but there was still some intimidation involved. Loki wanted a favor from this man; information. Also, there was something...important, about not being hated by your father, specifically. “Alas, I cannot. It's isn't safe for her, I'm afraid. Her health would deteriorate once more.”

“Yeah, the spandex squad said the same thing. They said it was some kind of magic? Sounds like bullshit to me.”

“You have lived through invasions by both extraterrestrials, and robots, yet you find magic difficult to believe in?” Loki pointed out.

“Yeah, well, you can punch an alien or a robot.”

“I dare say, one can punch a sorcerer as well.”

“Oho? She's been throwing hands?”

Loki cleared his throat. “Your daughter has been...most emphatic on several points.”

Your father drew himself up with pride. “Good. You best listen. And you'd damn well better be treating her right!”

“Actually, that is why I wished to speak with you. I would like advice on how to treat her more properly. Specifically, I will be remodeling her room into a more permanent residence, and I wish to know what kind of things she likes to have in her home.”

Your father remained quiet for a few long moments.

“So she's really not coming back.” He said finally. “Damn. I know all girls eventually leave, but she just seemed happy where she was...” He sighed. “Okay, fine. If it's gotta be up to you to take care of her now, then listen up. She likes doodlin' so get her some art supplies. She likes them little fairy lights. If you're getting her decorative things, she likes birds, and seashells, and flowers. No pets. She doesn't like having little things underfoot. Get her some houseplants, but only if they have bright colors, or make flowers.”

“How about toiletries? Does she have a preference?”

“Eh, more flowery stuff. Whatever's on sale, usually, but you can do better than that, can't you? The most flowery stuff you can find. Candles or potpourri, or whatever. Uh, she likes Pokemon. Don't know how much that helps you.”

“It would help me more if I knew what that was, but I'm sure I can find out.”

“It's some video game about fantasy animals. It's easy to find. Oh, and she likes space too. Stars and constellations and stuff. Likes learnin' about what's out there.”

“Oh, I know.” Loki said, perhaps a little too confidently. Your father glared. “But not too well.” He added. “Space. It is a good subject. There is much out there.”

Silence stretched out uncomfortably.

“How is she, really?” Your father asked.

“Distressed. That is why I am doing this. A great many things have happened to her in too short a time, so I am attempting to counter them with comfort. Her illness has all but disappeared, but we must remain within a mile or so of one another, and cannot be separated for more than a few hours at that distance before she begins to deteriorate. Were you told of the assassin?”

“Yeah. I was told she wasn't badly hurt, and that you caught the bastard.”

“Correct on both counts. She suffered a cut, but it has healed completely, and he will be facing justice eventually. I may still curse him into an early grave though, no matter what his sentence ends up being. Hmm. Perhaps forget I said that.”

“Nah, no one's hearing a peep from me.” Your father fidgeted as a gray cat peeked its head into the screen. “No Momo! Get down from there. Hey look, if she's gotta stay with you from now on, there's some things you oughta know. She's got some...problems. There were some major health issues that ran in her mother's side of the family; brain tumors mostly. Took her mom and her aunt while she was still pretty young. She hadn't shown any signs of it, but two or so years ago, she had this weird episode...Started insisting that everyone was dead, and the world was ending. The doctor didn't find any evidence of tumors, but said she was acting like someone who had gone through some kind of traumatic experience. No one could figure out what happened. She was fine one day, and the next, she'd completely changed. Got way more aggressive, kinda obsessed with food, has panic attacks over some of the weirdest things. And whenever something bad happens, she goes from one hundred percent ready to fight, to meek and numb in seconds.”

“I...have observed some of those behaviors, yes.” So this was what it looked like from the outside. Someone who had survived the Snap and remembered it must seem to others as if some great change had come over them. An entire year lived like that would not leave someone the same as they had been before. It was a shame Loki could not tell him what had happened. That your father would never understand you like he did. That he didn't even truly understand you.

You were just about as alone in this world as he was, weren't you?

“So if you've got some kind of magic health care over there, just keep an eye on her brain, okay?”

“As you say. I shall keep a special watch over her mind. I appreciate you telling me this. All of this. It will be most helpful.”

“Yeah well, as long as you take good care of her, I can't complain. Still hate you though.”

Loki smiled smugly. “I would expect nothing else.”

                                                                             *****

Loki spent his time between meetings searching through various storage rooms for furnishings. He'd found a very nice rug; blue and green and silver, patterned with knotwork and ravens. Bedding was a bit more difficult: you felt the cold more keenly, and needed either more, or heavier blankets. He was having trouble finding good matches, however. He didn't just want to throw things together like some kind of motley. You weren't a peasant anymore, and you should have better.

But just for now, maybe the brick red bed set didn't clash with the green and blue that much?

In the end, he was able to gather plenty of  bird-themed items, mostly ravens, eagles, and swans, and no shortage of floral décor. He commissioned a space-themed mural for one of your walls, though he knew it would take several weeks to finish. There were very few seashells to be had, but he did manage to procure a small hand mirror that was shaped like a scallop.

Perhaps this would do for now?

He called for Saldis and two others to carry things back you your room, stood back and supervised while they laid things out. Fairy lights and Pokemon would have to wait until he figured out what they were, and where he could get them.

As the servants put everything into place, Loki was drawn to your desk, and the little stack of books there. Astronomy, of course. That made perfect sense. A history of Iceland. Good idea. The collected tragedies of Shakespeare. Good stories, all of them, but perhaps not the best reading material for someone of your delicate mental state. Ah, there it was. World mythology.

Brunnhilde said you had mentioned something about a mythology book that had led you to believe some mixed up things. Well, what did it say?

He picked up the book, leafing through it as the servants moved around him, hanging artworks on the blank walls, a pair of flower-themed lamps replacing the old one, rolling out the rug.

The temperature began to fall while he read the entry about himself, stone-faced, but radiating a quiet anger that everyone in the room could feel. The servants slowly came to a halt, staring at him in silent worry.

“Sire?” One of them finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper. His eyes snapped up from the book to look at them, and all three flinched back.

“You.” He said, pointing. “And you. Out.”

Both women hurried for the door, throwing apologetic looks over their shoulders at Saldis, who stood in place, bewildered and a little frightened.

“Saldis...Odasdottir, was it?”

“Yes, your Highness!” She squeaked.

“You can speak English.”

“Yes, your Highness! Fluently, Your Highness!”

“A useful skill. More importantly, can you read English? I trust you know not to lie to me.”

“No, Your Highness! No more than a few words! I have Roskva translate for me!”

“I see.” He snapped the book shut with a loud clap.”So you know nothing of the contents of this book?”

“No, Your Highness! Seidkona _____ asked for English language books, so I just brought back all that the library had! I don't know what any of them are about!”

“This one is full of slander.” Loki seethed. Saldis began backing away. “Written by our enemies to defame us, clearly. I will be confiscating it.”

Saldis began stammering apologies, but Loki held up a single finger to silence her. There were no lies in what she said. She was no saboteur.“If you did not know, you cannot be blamed. However, I would be alone for a time.”

She took the dismissal for what it was, vacating the room in an undisguised hurry. Loki could just barely hear Andsvarr asking her what was wrong, as he stalked to his room and threw the book into the fireplace. Drivel! A poison of words, pouring into your eyes, into your mind. No wonder you were so frightened!

God of Evil? Ridiculous! Evil wasn't something one could be a god of; it was a nebulous concept that changed from culture to culture, and across time. Anyone was capable of it, but none could rule it. And that nonsense with the horse... He didn't even know anyone named Angrboda! Where had all that come from?

He had been to Midgard once before New York, when he was a child, long before these concrete forests had sprung up in the place of the wooden ones. It had seemed like a very different world then, the storytellers weaving magic into their tales, spinning their words into decorative knots. He'd learned of the concepts of kennings and flyting from them...Was this what they had seen in him, or did it have some symbolic meaning, lost over the centuries? Did they see him as evil?

Or was it what had happened after? The burying of the old ways under the name of another god? Was that what had painted him in such a dark way? Or perhaps the author of the book had written it after the events in New York. Humanity had plenty of reason to consider him evil then, and a great many still did.

It didn't really matter right now. What mattered was that this had been influencing your perceptions of him, and now he had to reverse that. The room would be a very good start, a step in making this a real, permanent home for you. He would find out everything you needed, everything you wanted. He was a prince. He was a god! He could provide.

He sat down on his fluffy rug, watching the book slowly blacken and curl. It did matter. It mattered because it was part of the reason you weren't here. And he felt it now, now that you were gone, every minute making him more and more aware that you weren't there. There was a little, human shaped hole in the world, that only you fit into, and you were out of place.

When had you become important? He could no longer deny that you were. Honesty with the self was among the coping exercises he and Thor had had to adopt, once they realized that they absolutely had to be in this together. It was quite possibly one of the hardest things for him to do, to admit everything to himself, to open himself back up to all the emotion.

In the beginning, after he had been returned from death, all his walls had come down. Those had been hard times; he was nearly inconsolable, everything he had been through in such a short time was all there, up front. All the grieving he hadn't been able to do, all the anger and resentment, the self-loathing and loss of identity. Everything he'd never gotten the chance to heal from had all come down on him, all at once, and he'd thought he'd never stop crying again.

But once he had been given the chance to confront all those things, to work through them, to finally, properly mourn, when he'd put himself back together, and run dry of tears-and when Thor had done the same-that was when they had both decided to take the steps necessary to be better than they had been. For the people. For each other. And for themselves.

Communication with the self was easily just as difficult as communication with each other. Neither of them exactly had the hang of it yet, and it led them to mistakes like this. Mistakes like Loki believing that everything was just fine between you and himself because he wanted so badly to believe that it was. Tricking himself into thinking that your actions and reactions were those of a person in need of support and comfort from him, instead of a person who was afraid of him.

Five years ago, he would have seen it for exactly what it was, but he had been trying so hard to leave that version of himself in the past, where it belonged. He needed to be better now.

He needed to admit that you were important. He needed to understand why. You represented something to him; some kind of redemption. If he could take care of you, he could prove something to everyone, including himself. What was that thing? What did he need to prove? That he could be responsible?

That he was what he said he was. That he was worthy of being what he said he was. A Prince. A Ruler. A Leader. A Provider. A Man.

Not a monster.

He could give you everything. And he felt that you might even deserve it, you who had lost your mother, and then your world, and then your health, and then your autonomy. He could give you everything, and he kind of wanted to. But he had to step back now and take a different approach. It had to be for you, as much as it was for him.

He watched the book burn until it was an unrecognizable lump, thinking of ways to be better for you. Then he left his quarters in search of his brother. He had an idea that would set at least some of your fears at ease.

He passed Brunnhilde on the way, the Valkyrie carrying a sandwich on a plate. He stopped, then followed her.

“Is that for her?” He asked. “Because she hates that.”

“What? Well then what does she like?” Brunnhilde demanded. Loki listed a few things off the top of his head, and Brunnhilde headed back to the kitchen. “Guess I'll eat this one then. Heard you terrorized some of the maids.”

“I suspected one of them might be a saboteur. I was glad to find otherwise. I discovered a source of _____'s fear. That book you said she mentioned; I found it and I destroyed it. It will trouble none of us again.”

“That might not look good, you know. Might look like you're trying to destroy the evidence.”

“What evidence?” He sneered. “It was worthless. It was...do you even know what it said? It was like a parody, and it was deceiving her. I will find her other books.”

“You can't just curate her reading material you know.” Brunnhilde said, making another sandwich. “Not if you don't want to seem so controlling.”

Loki added a cup of skyr to the plate, and a spoon of redcurrant jam on top. “I'm not going to. I'm thinking of taking her into the nearest town, and visiting a bookstore. She can choose her own books, and not be stuck reading the same few over and over. I've already seen to her room, and so all that's left is to let her get some things of her own choice.”

Brunnhilde nodded. “That's better.”

“So, how are the Valkyries coming along? You mentioned a Buridag demonstration?” Loki asked, following her back out of the kitchens.

“About as well as can be expected for only having a year of training. There's a lot of work to be done, catching them all up. Lucky for us, most of them naturally gravitated towards combat lifestyles. The twins have a long way to go though.”

“Twins?”

“Valda and Velda. They're only about three hundred years old. They're having to start from scratch, but I can see the power in them. They're the real deal. They are also tiny children who can barely lift their own swords, and definitely can't wear armor. We can't have a demonstration without them, but there isn't much they can physically do. Maybe if I play up how important standard-bearing is, they won't put up a fuss.”

“One can hope.” Loki said with a smile. “Sibling rivalry can be a tough thing to navigate.”

“They get along well. Just because you and your brother had a rivalry for the storybooks, it doesn't mean everybody does. Speaking of, did Saga ever get back to you?”

“Yes. She's chosen fully sixteen texts to translate, and she will be doing each of them in seven languages. She's so happy. I was thinking of asking her to expedite the English translations, but I wonder if that isn't a little too selfish.”

“Well, technically, you're thinking of someone else, so it isn't 'selfish' exactly...” They stopped outside Brunnhilde's rooms. “Well, your Highness. You have some work to do, and I have some mouths to feed, so here is where we part.”

                                                                     *****

“Dinnertime!” Brunnhilde announced, and you hopped up to receive it. Everything looked very tasty this time, and you tucked in without preamble. You'd worked pretty hard again today, not quite as hard as when you were practicing magic, but hard enough. The bath had been wonderfully relaxing on your sore muscles, but had done nothing for your appetite.

You should exercise now, eh? Surely this was a good start.

“So...” Brunnhilde said. “You're not a good liar.”

“Hrm?” You asked around a bite of sandwich.

“Whatever you told Borgljot, you've been in combat before.”

“Mrm.” You said, swallowing your bite. “Well, about that...I don't know if I would call it combat exactly...and besides, I didn't lie.”

“Oh? Oh. Because it technically didn't happen?”

“Yeah. Things went to hell during the Event, you know that. I can't imagine it was a walk in the park for you either.”

“Wasn't great. You wanna talk about it?”

You stopped eating. “I never have before.”

“You never had someone who believed you before either, did you?”

“Sure didn't.” You said quietly. “It's just, you know, everyone went a little crazy I think. You can't face a devastation like that and stay totally sane. And nobody really knew what to do. The guys were a pain in my ass, but there was this one guy specifically...his wife and kid turned to dust in his arms, and I think he just went completely insane. But quietly; no one noticed. He was always very nice to me, and normally, he wouldn't hurt a fly, but...he kinda started fixating on me.”

Everywhere you were, there he was. Being helpful. Complimentary. Said you reminded him of her.

“At first I thought it was a good thing. It kept the other guys from bugging me too much. See, out of three hundred and forty of us, only about sixty-seven made it through the Event, and only about a third of those were women. Some of those guys didn't even try to pretend that they weren't being predatory. But he kept the others away, and I appreciated it. For a while.”

Never saying anything creepy, but simply always being there, always ready to help out. You never found out how he scared the other men away.

“We had to try to keep farming in order to survive, but half the seeds had turned to dust too. We probably would have been okay, if the fields hadn't died, but we had almost nothing. Everyone was desperate. I was in charge of the potatoes. Had a good patch of them growing out in the East fields. One day, when I went out to tend to them, he followed me. Guess he just...finally hit that breaking point. Came onto me, using her name. When I told him off, he full-on attacked me.”

Mad-eyed, tearing at your clothes, sobbing and crying a dead woman's name.

“He wouldn't stop, so...”

Panic gave you the strength to knock him to the ground, desperation gave you the instinct to bring the sharp edge of your garden hoe down on his head.

“So I killed him. Chopped his head in half. I know what that looks like now.”

You didn't know when you had started trembling, but it was making your voice quiver.

“You were defending yourself.” Bunnhilde said. “It's a terrible, harsh edge of reality, and a shame that you had to see it. But you came through. Not gonna say it's okay, because it's not. But you came through.”

“It's...I think my problem is that I don't even think that's the worst part.” You said. “It's that, technically, it never happened. He's fine now. He's alive, his wife, his kids, all alive and well, and going about their lives. He's just like I remember him from before it all happened; sweet and harmless. He comes in to the bakery sometimes, after our cornbread. I'm sure he worries about me, because that's just the kind of person he is.”

“Well that's-”

“I hate him.” You interrupted. “I hate him so much. I should be glad that it all got erased. I should be glad that he's not a predator, and that I'm not a murderer. But I'm just so angry! He gets to have his family, and his sanity, and his life, and go happily about his business, and I have to remember what he did! What I did! It's horrible, isn't it? I shouldn't feel like this!”

“Honestly? I feel like it would be more wrong if you didn't.” Brunnhilde reached across the distance to take your hand. “None of this should be easy to accept. How long ago was it, that Thor crashed on this planet? Seven? That's seven years for your whole world to realize that there's more people out in the universe, get attacked by those other people, get nearly wiped out by one of those other people. Then a small percentage of you has to find out that even reality itself can be malleable. And then on top of that, you, individually, have to deal with mans inhumanity to man, and that is all a terrible burden to put on such small, human shoulders.”

“I'm going to be a seidkona.” You declared. “Just as soon as I figure out how. I'm taking this as an opportunity to leave that all behind. I never have to see that guy again. I don't have to hold on to the hatred. I don't have to project it onto other people, I can start moving forward again.”

“You don't have to push.” Brunnhilde warned. “You'll burn yourself out. Set your own pace. You don't have to do everything at once, in fact, you probably shouldn't.”

“Where should I start then?” You asked. Once you had decided something, you were always full of energy and raring to go. But maybe she was right. There was a lot to do, and if you tried to do it all at once, you'd get overwhelmed.

“What all do you have to do? What tasks and goals are on your mind?” Brunnhilde asked. “and out of those, what are the simplest or easiest?”

“Um. I've got to...I've gotta learn how to use this knife. And my magic, gotta learn that. I should learn the language. Gotta be ready for the trial, I'm pretty sure I'll have to testify. Kinda torn there, I mean, I want that guy to go straight to jail forever, but I don't wanna be in the same room with him ever again? I gotta... research seidkonas. Learn about the past ones, what they did, how they worked. I gotta...I gotta go back to my room. Make up with his Highness. I have to, but also, I want to.”

“You looked at your palm. “Gotta learn more about this thing, if there is any more to learn. Gotta...Gotta yell at Beli! He's the one that spread this whole seidkona rumor around, isn't he? Only him and Loki knew; I didn't even know! And then everybody knew except for me! That is not right!”

“Oh don't yell at old Beli.” Brunnhilde said, pointing at your food. You took the hint and began eating again. “For one thing, it's a waste of breath. So, out of those things, what is easiest? What will you start with?”

“Um. Well, you'd think going back to my room and making up with Loki would be easiest, but in reality, it's terrifying. Probably can't research if I can't read the language. The trial can't be prioritized; it'll just happen when it happens. So, looks like knife is the only choice.”

“Well, there you go. I also have a suggestion. You should have a better grasp of your surroundings. If you'd like, I'll get someone to show you around. Also, if you have hobbies, you know, something you just do for fun, then you should do that a little bit.”

“...I'd like to bake something, if that's all right? I used to do that for a living, and I really enjoyed it too.”

“I'm sure that can be arranged. Let's go do that in the morning.”

Namelessshipping: What If

Chapter 13

Back by unpopular demand.

Pairings: Red x Green Oak

Warnings: None

AU: Canon Divergence

There was a loud banging noise that echoed through the small beach house and only Green seemed to be disturbed by it. He glared over at the still slumbering Red who appeared could sleep through a marching band, though it was unusual for Red not to be the first one to be awake in the morning. Red tended to have a strict schedule for the day and never missed out on training himself and his Pokemon, today it seemed their roles were reversed. For a while, Green hoped the knocking would just go away if he ignored it long enough, but no such luck. Not even pinning a pillow over his head seemed to muffled the sound, so finally the Kanto Champion finally gave up trying to go back to sleep. Annoyed at Red for still managing to be wistfully asleep, he tossed the pillow at him, but it seemed to be ineffective against the sleeping male.

Green rolled out of bed, raking his fingers through his hair in some attempt to tame the wild strands, he'd style it later whenever he was more awake. Right now, he just wanted to deal with that annoying noise as he slipped on his house shoes and pulled on a nice tropical robe to keep him from walking around in his boxers. Muttering a few choice words under his breath, Green made his way down the hall, tracking down the sound towards the front door of the house. Who in Arceus' name would be knocking on his door at... He checked the time on the stove, five in the morning? Growling out under his breath, he unlocked the door and yanked it open in a show of annoyance. He gave his best trademark glare as his hazel eyes landed on none other than the last person he wanted to see at five-fucking-in-the-morning.

Gold.

The kid ( Green would always think of Gold as a kid it didn't matter if the boy was twenty years old by now, he didn't act like it ) rapped his knuckles against Green's face, apparently unaware the door had opened until Green made an indignant noise and swatted his hand away.

"What the hell are you doing here, Gold? Matter of fact, why are you here ruining my beauty sleep!" Snapped Green, he wasn't a morning person and never would be. He could tolerate Gold after at least he had a cup of coffee, not before.

"Whoa! Hey, Green! And boy, you sure do need your beauty sleep with hair like that!" Gold teased back, immune by now of Green's angry nature, or just too optimistic to really be brought down by it. "I just wanted to swing on by since we just arrived!"

"Sorry for the intrusion, Green. I tried to stop him, but... You know how he gets." A voice, smooth and cool as he remembered came from behind Gold. It was no Surprise that Silver would be with Gold, the two were inseparable, good thing too as Silver was level headed, but a tad too serious at times, easily frustrated. They seemed to work well together, even though their personalities differed from Green and Red, he couldn't help but to find similarities within them. It was when Gold had come to challenge him years after Green had become champion that Gold had reminded him of Red... A louder one. But that confidence, that complete trust and faith in his Pokemon. It was all the same.

Green sighed out, no use arguing now since the two were here, he opened the door a little wider to invite them in. "Might as well come in, but don't expect me to cook you two breakfast, I'm not your mom." Gold's mom was definitely a sweetheart, but Green was not into pampering Gold like she did. Gold was more than happy to walk in, wearing a gaudy yellow floral shirt the tourist around here wore. It was had to remind himself that Gold was the Johto Champion, it was only during the heat of battle could one really see the heart of the Champion. Gold made a beeline for the fridge, making himself at home and trying to find something for Breakfast.

Silver entered at a more reserved pace, though the black uniform with a red fringe that he wore was in direct contrast with the Alola vibrancy. Green figured it wouldn't last long in this hot weather, but he had to give Silver props for looking nice. "I even insisted we go get breakfast first, but not even the thought of trying new food could deter him." Silver looked over to Gold, letting out a heavy exhale before brushing a strand of loose, long red hair out of his face. Green studied the shorter boy for a moment, there was less tension in the corners of his eyes which was good.

"So what are you two doing in Alola anyways? Signing up for the Battle Tree?" Green asked curiously as he made his way over to the coffee maker to turn it on, there was no going back to sleep after this.

"We're on our honeymoon!" Gold nearly shouted, making Green wince and dig a pinky into his ear. He looked to Gold and then to Silver, who had his face in one hand.

"Gold, we'd have to be married to be on a honeymoon." Silver sounded a little exasperated by there was some sort of humor in his red eyes. "Well, I guess he's not half wrong."

"I proposed to him," Gold chimed in. "Should've seen his face, Green, it was as red as his hair. It was priceless."

"He proposed to me while I was in the middle of battling him. He's lucky that weavile didn't freeze him solid." Silver moved over to take a seat at the small table, there were only two chairs and Green hadn't thought he'd be receiving visitors here. He was still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that Gold and Silver had just dropped getting engaged so casually at five in the morning while Green was still in his boxers. Gold never really had a thing for tact as the black haired boy was pulling out a jug of orange juice from the ice box, Green had to swat Gold upside the head before Gold could drink straight from the jug.

Before Green could insist on using a glass, one was set gently down on the counter before Gold. Red, like a wrath had at some point entered the kitchen without making a noise, making both Gold and Green jump, combined with a startled noise that Green wasn't proud of. Gold's eyes were wide as he looked up at Red, locking gazes with those unreadable burnished amber eyes. The kitchen fell silent, Gold was stunned for a moment by the stranger who wore am intimidating expression, Gold was normally good at getting a read on people, no matter what walls they hid behind. Green's panic didn't last long as he was the first one into action, moving between Gold and Red.

More importantly, blocking the fact that Red was still in his Pikachu patterned boxer briefs and nothing else.

Green's motion seemed to snap Gold out of his surprise and Green was instantly flooded with a thousand questions. "Hey! Who is that! Green, you didn't tell us that you were here with someone else! I've never seen him before? I thought you only liked girls! Why didn't you tell us that you liked guys too! Oh man, I would've invited you to all the clubs we've gone to. What's his name? Where did you meet him? Come on, Green, spill the beans, man!"

Green felt like he was going to get a headache at this rate, Silver looked just as surprised but seemed polite enough not to dig especially since Gold was doing that enough for the both of them.First his grandfather and now these two? It wasn't going to be long until rumors would start to spread because Gold couldn't keep a secret to save his life. The guy was far too honest, which was a good trait in most cases, just not this one. "Gold, I like you, kid, but please can we discuss this after I've had coffee?"

Gold was about to reply, likely to protest but a glass of orange juice was shoved into his hands. Red had poured him a drink before pointing over to the table in a silent command. Momentarily quelled, but likely not for long, Gold retreated to the table beside Silver. Green rubbed his forehead as the thought of trying to explain this situation was going to be difficult, for he didn't even know what the hell he was doing. The soft press of lips on the corner of his lips drew him back from the downward spiral he had been drawn into. Lifting his hazel eyes to spot Red looking at him. Others might think Red was a detached man, but Green could see the truth behind that gaze.

There was confidence in Green, reassurance that Red would be there if needed, and more importantly, love.

This is my first time writing Gold and Silver so uh... excuse while I get the feel of the characters.

Hi! It must be your birthday today. Happy birthday, I wish you all your dreams come true, good mood and good people around! And lots of inspiration! ~

Hi! No, you just missed it. It was yesterday, the 15th. Thank you though!

And I did get inspiration. I probably won’t post it ever, if not for a long time, but I’m playing pokemon X and thought, “Hey, couldn’t I, like, write a story for this?” Dunno if I’m going to go through all the way, but I’m writing the outline!

And then some info-dumping under the cut, cause I want to go on about how my birthday went.

Yesterday, my actual birthday, I wasn’t really expecting anything except a birthday dinner, (tradition, I got Little Ceaser’s pizza) But my mom decided to get me Ice cream cupcakes, which why am I the only kid getting ice cream cake? (probably cause I’m in the middle of summer, and I’ve had more birthdays then my little sister, whose birthday is in 2 weeks)

Mom also got nice birthday candles from a garage sale a while back, so I put 17 candles on my cupcakes, and I forgot how pretty candles were. So my parents talked (without me knowing) and when me and my mom was out today to get fabric for masks, she told me that we were also getting candles, WHICH IS AWESOME!

At the fabric store, I also found this super soft fabric while looking for material to make myself a poncho, and it is SUPER SOFT! It has some scale pattern on one side, and my mom called it the “rainbow” fabric, and it’s just so cool!

Oh! And apparently it’s flamingo day at the hobby store. (I think we went to Hobby Lobby) cause I saw flamingos EVERYWHERE, and I looked down to see myself wearing one of my flamingo outfits, (I always wear my fanny pack with flamingos on it, as well as my flamingo necklace, but I’m also wearing rn one of my shirts with a flamingo pattern, as well as my skirt) so that was funny haha.

and then we went to the dollar store, where, more funny haha, I bought some flamingo socks. I also got some more candle stuff, but that was really fun. (Unscented candles only. I mainly got tea candles)

But yeah, I had a more enjoyable birthday then last year, which all I remember of that was that I got undertale then. ‘technically speaking’, all the stuff I got today wasn’t for my birthday, and that my birthday present, my mom got weeks ago, (Brown-Dog 2.0) but I see you, mom. You mainly get random stuff for the other kids. You can get some stuff for me. Thanks.

Oh, and thank you if you read all that. I just wanted to info-dump cause you know how us autistic people get. ^-^ Love you guys. <3 

#I LOVE INFODUMPING #I mean seriously! #Still 'not on tumblr' #i should probably get to my school work #which since i'm a year older #i've only got two years before i move out #i feel so old #yet i have my whole life in front of me #you know how that feels #right?

Knotted

Pairing: Michael M. x Jeremy H. x Christine C. (meremine) Word Count: 1,347 Summary: Fluff on fluff on fluff. Soulmate AU;

@aroacethetic-shitpost requested: 28 and meremine

28. the one where some people can see the red string of fate and follow it to their soulmates.

Jeremy was 5 when his teacher started talking about the red string of soulmates – something that appears once fate decides that one specific person was meant to be with you forever, and sometimes it’s meant romantically or platonically. The only set thing was that they were meant to be in your life. He found it fascinating, the idea that someone was supposed to be around forever, meant to be there for you no matter what happens.

And it explained things later on after his mom left when he was 15; she and his father had met, dated, married, had a child, and the string still never appeared for either of them until she started working at a new law firm and met a girl that swept her away. He was happy she was happy, happy that she had finally met that person, but he still struggled with her leaving. His father took it harder; she’d taken off after promising him everything and left him with nothing. It took a while to rebuild it all, but they did, and he was the ring bearer for him mom and new step-mom.

When he was 13, he met Michael Mell – best friend, Apocalypse of the Damned extraordinaire, and multilingual. Their friendship blossomed over a shared love for Pokemon, Pac-Man, and Mario, and Michael opened his eyes to so many things he never even thought of… Crystal Pepsi, for one.

When he was 15, he noticed the red string that connected the two of them. It was a simple thing that didn’t surprise him; they were sitting side-by-side in Michael’s basement playing Left 4 Dead for the millionth time when the thin, red chord wrapped around his left pinky with a bow made its appearance, brought to his attention by the slight tug he felt when Michael pulled his controller to the left. They both felt it and for a moment everything froze, both characters on screen stopping as the two looked between them, then back at each other with huge grins. It was the best day of their lives; the reassurance that they’d always be there for each other no matter what.

(“So… what now?”

“It means we’re bound.” Jeremy grinned. “You are literally stuck with me for the rest of time.”

“Hey, but that means you’re stuck with me too, so looks like you’re the real winner here.”

Jeremy had laughed at the time, but he was right – Jeremy hit the jackpot.)

Nothing changed; they were still close as ever, if not more, because of it. Michael Mell was still Jeremy Heere’s best friend. Jeremy was perfectly content with it that way. Michael, however, wasn’t, but he wouldn’t say anything for fear of Jeremy getting mad at him. He thought it was a platonic soulmate; Michael could live with that.

Around the same time, still at 15, Jeremy met Christine. And started crushing on her. Hard.

He wanted everything for her, for her to be successful and loved and happy. Unfortunately, she didn’t even know his name – or, that’s what he thought. Then he was signing up to do the play with her and she was so happy to see him walk through the doors, a large grin on her face as she exclaimed his name with a light in her eyes he hadn’t seen before; it made him extremely happy, and by extension, Michael was happy.

But weeks later, on opening night of the play, that fated red string showed up again, stretching across the length of the stage, his right pinky with a light bow on it – he could still clearly see the one around his left, through the curtain and connected to where Michael was sitting, so it didn’t make sense as to why he had a second one. Maybe it was the whole ‘platonic vs. romantic’ soulmates and he was lucky enough to find them both in such a short period of time. He gave an experimental tug on the new string, watching at it pulled taught and Christine’s attention was pulled from the conversation she was having with Jenna and down to her hand. He let out a silent laugh, waving with the same hand to show her; needless to say, it was the best performance they had since rehearsals had started.

(“Are you kidding me? We’ve been soulmates and kissing for two whole months now and never even knew?” She’d laughed, her eyes sparkling just like they had that day he’d come in for the first rehearsal.

“Well, to be honest, I suspected it… I mean, I’ve had a crush on you for, like, a year now.” He’d pressed their foreheads together. Standing in the parking lot, with stage makeup and costumes still on with blissed out smiles, his hands gently cupping her face with hers around his middle, he couldn’t have thought of a better way to find out she was fated to be with him.

“Oh, Jeremy,” Her quiet giggle had passed between them like a whisper before she gave him another kiss. “You had a crush on me? How embarrassing.”

“Had? No, I think I still do.”)

After that day, the three fell into a familiar pattern; Michael would walk to school with his ‘platonic’ soulmate, the three of them would eat lunch together, and then Christine would walk him back home, with Michael coming over after a few hours for a group movie night every once in a while.

It wasn’t until 3 months later when they were at the mall, Christine’s hand gripped in Jeremy’s and Michael’s arm linked with the other on their way to get frozen, that things changed again. Jeremy didn’t know; there was no way he could other than them telling him, but Christine had stopped suddenly with a glint in her eye, following something it seemed only she could see until Michael unlinked their arms and was following the same line as her. A moment later, they both burst into laughter, high-fiving in the middle of the walkway like one of them had just told a great joke.

(“I’m not surprised at all by this, it was bound to happen.” Michael grinned.

“We literally just found out we’re soulmates and you’re making puns?”

Their laughter rang out at the joke, and Jeremy just stood looking dumbfound.

“Wait a sec – soulmates? But how…?”

“Not sure, man. But there’s a blue string from my hand to hers, and that can only mean one thing.”

“It’s blue? What does that mean?”

“Wait, yours isn’t blue?” Christine motioned between the two boys, head cocked to the side in curiosity. “What color is it?”

“Red.” Both responded instantly, Jeremy continuing. “Just like ours.”

She shook her head with a chuckle, crossing her arms with a smile that teased, ‘I know something you two idiots don’t.’

Michael glanced between the two, evaluating things in his head for a moment before his eyes grew wide, looking at Christine, who just nodded. He laughed this time, looking at Jeremy.

“Why am I always the last to figure things out?”

“Because you’re an idiot.” Michael stated simply.

Jeremy rolled his eyes, thinking things out: why would he have the same color string for both his girlfriend and his best friend while they had a blue one? Obviously, what he felt for Christine was romantic, so why was the other string the same color? He wasn’t in love with Michael, as far as he knew, but the longer he stood there the more it made sense. He loved cuddling with him, waking up next to him, his smile, how happy he got after they won a game… He’d be lying if he said the thought of kissing Michael wasn’t something he’d thought about before, but he chalked it up to being lonely at the time. Now, though, it was clear, and he face palmed when he finally figured it out.

“Of course… God, I am an idiot.”)

They had a short discussion over fro-yo as to what it meant for all of them. The conclusion?

The best possible outcome fate could have conjured.

Magikarp Jump (Game Review)

As most of you already know (or not) I am a Gen 1 Pokemon junkie, and Magikarp has been on my faves list intermittently. This relatively new game from the Pokemon Company (Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GameFreak Inc.; and developed for mobile by Select Button) released in May 2017 puts the one dubbed “Pity Pokemon” into more mainstream realness.

When my little sister introduced me to the premise of training Magikarps to eventually battle in jumping competitions, I will admit that the skeptic in me thought it was corny. Something corporations did to cash in on the meteoric rise and fall of Pokemon Go and probably a marketing scheme for the upcoming UltraSun & UltraMoon. But then, I downloaded it for kicks and now I love it more than she does!

Its interface is easy to navigate, perfect for kids that are my age when I first discovered Pokemon in Grade 5. I appreciate the cute and soft illustrations of the Poke-critters as well as the sceneries, battle videos and landscapes. It is homage to both the perennial running anime and Gameboy/DS core-games.

The introduction of Magikarp Patterns is a clever addition to the game. I’ve been playing it for only over a week so I’ve only been able to collect around 50% of the available patterns. It might’ve been influenced by a trend on Tumblr a few years back where people drew their favourite Pokemon in several types mimicking diversity in nature. My favourite patterns are the Gold (of course!), Orange Dapples, Pink Orca and Gold and Orange Calico.

Other aspects I found endearing are the random events and Magikarp retirement. In the random events, some have small nuggets of wisdom geared to teach “Stranger Danger” and for children to be careful with their pets/Pokemon. While Magikarps do not die, the risk of losing your prized Karp is very real in the form of evolution, getting blasted by a suspicious Voltorb and/or getting swooped away by Pidgeotto on some occasions. For Magikarp retirement, I’m so happy that the pets you’ve cared for, even just for a few hours, do not get abandoned or discarded in favor of raising newer and stronger Karps. Instead, they are put on a separate retirement pond and will occasionally swim in the background to remind you of their generation and highest jump point reached.

At the very core of Magikarp Jump is the virtual realization of my childhood dream to train and raise Pokemon, and to compete in non-violent battles with other trainers. Don’t get me wrong, I love the core games and I’ve been playing Pokemon since Silver came out, but training and interaction with your Pokemon is limited and the Pokemon battles are generally systematic violence. Here I get to have my own spacious pond (have I mentioned I am obsessed in fishkeeping IRL, too?) where I can feed my Magikarp everyday and then we go around town to train and meet people who help me raise my pet to become a Jumping League Champion.  

As much as I love it though, here are a few wishes I’d like to ask from the developers.

See more of retired Magikarps and maybe have a list of their names and generations at least. The Pokemon franchise has been going strong for over two decades now because the anime, as well as the games put a priority on the bond between Pokemon and trainer (remember the heartwarming ad for Pokebank back in 2013?) At the moment, retired Magikarps show up on the background one at a time. I hope an update could be included so more (two or three might be okay and not too crowded) of the retirees could interact with each other.

Mew as a support Pokemon, a décor inspiration or even just a random event character. I love that the update on my birthday (yay!) included Eevee on the Pokemon Friends roster (I shelled out a few Diamonds I’ve been saving so fast!) but I wish my favorite legendary could also show-up. Even just as a little helper like Feebas or Manaphy. Heck, I’d even settle for a small cameo in the sky during jump battles like Pidgey in the background if Mew cannot be included in the game.

Keep Gyarados. I lost two or three Karps to evolution (from the wretched Macho Karp event!) and while agree for them to be automatically retired from the jumping competitions because of their Flying-Type advantage, I wish Mayor Karp would let me visit them somewhere again

4 of 5 Stars. That’s counting personal bias, but hey, I’ve been playing it this long so it’s really entertaining. Plus points for being playable without internet access because my god, my country’s internet connection is infuriating!

 P.S.

Let me just humble brag on two favourite Karps I’ve been able to raise to their max levels.

First is a Rank 13 Generation 8, Gold type Magikarp I named Spica, after a little star. Yes, you read that right, a *shiny* Magikarp at just the eighth time fishing! I was so glad I didn’t have to relive three weeks of combined fishing and breeding for the elusive Gold Magikarp back in Pokemon X. It’s so beautiful and regal and I still tap it to see him bigger whenever he passes by from the retirement pond. My only regret is that I’ve wasted the chance to evolve him into a Red Gyarados as I haven’t yet discovered the trick to break the Everstone when I got Spica. I had also made the mistake of evolving a random Magikarp into a Gyarados once, so even if I get another shiny (it’s a long shot) I won’t be able to evolve it now.

The other is Lucky, a Standard type Magikarp I caught in Generation 21, Rank 18. He is so unremarkably patterned but his stats are great for quick rearing (Motivation Bonus : 200%, AND Individual Bonus :JP from events 140%) I renamed him Lucky towards his max level because I have never gotten a Karp that triggered Manaphy and Feebas as often as he did while feeding. We were one battle away from winning the Quick League but oh well, Lucky is loved anyway. In his bland normal-ness and all.

So, that’s it! I’m currently at Generation 59 as of this writing, with yet another Standard Patterned Magikarp. I reached the last leg of the Luxury League the previous generation but lost by mere 1.20 meters. I hope I finally get the Miracle Seed and Bulbasaur when the time for the next league battle comes.

chapter 1

my purely self-indulgent guzma x reader insert, with the reader as a punk trainer/former team skull grunt. however, we have no guzma yet, gotta set up the plot. it’s been eons since i wrote reader inserts, so lemme know what you think?

The sun has only just begun to rise as you step foot onto Akala Island. Heahea City is still mostly asleep, with only the earliest of early risers on the city streets. It’s comforting. And also strange, being somewhere so open. You ignore the feeling, instead tugging on your stolen ball cap, covering your gaze. You start making your way down the street, wondering what to do now. You… hadn’t really thought things through very well.

But then you see the familiar white and gold uniform.  Anxiety and adrenaline pump through your blood. You keep your eyes on your feet, pulling your white cap further down over your eyes. You instantly regret your decision to come out this way. Maybe you can still turn around? Go another way?

You just hope the Aether employees won't recognize the pattern on your shirt.

Your luck, however, just seems to be getting worse and worse. The tallest of the pair spies you standing awkwardly in the middle of the street, trying your best to appear nonchalant.  Your head and gaze keep rotating everywhere but at the two white uniforms at the end of the path. Your blood as frozen, and you know your options may soon be fight or flight.

“Hey you!" The tall Aether employee calls out, walking toward you. One hand falls to the belt at your waist, towards your only pokemon. You glare up in challenge at the young man from under the brim of your hat.

"You should be careful- Team Skull's been spotted on the nearby beaches, bothering the Slowpoke there."

You can feel yourself deflate at the words. You cross your arms over your chest, your legs shaking.

His partner, a young woman with cropped hair joins him, "I wouldn't face them unless you've got some good pokemon on you." She tells you, eyeing the lone pokeball on your belt.

Biting the inside of your mouth, you reply, "Wasn't really planning on headin' to the beach. ’Sides, this guy needs a Pokémon Center, to be honest. Got a little turned around, it's been awhile since I was here last." You lie through your teeth, perfectly aware that the Pokemon Center is just around the corner and that your salandit is perfectly healthy, but no way where you telling anyone from Aether that.

You left Team Skull as to not get mixed up with the Aether Foundation. No way were you going to be dragged in to the business of either one.

"The Pokémon Center is that way, I think." The woman replies, pointing.

"Figures," You sigh, taking three steps around them, "Always gettin' turned around. Thanks!"

You don’t look back as you scurry back down the street. You can’t help glancing down at your clothes as you step inside the Pokemon Center. Your outfit is missing a few key things to really label you as Team Skull; like the hat, the mask, the chain… but everything else is the same. The same shoes, the same shorts, the same shirt, the same hair, hell even the same socks. You sigh, plopping down on the nearest chair, besides the café. You let your salandit out, feeding him a pokebean as you think

This definitely wasn’t your brightest idea. Not that you were really given a choice, you think with a cold shudder. Your saladint cuddles next to your legs, sharing his warmth with you. Absently, you pet him, swallowing your tears. You needed to focus, if not for you, then for your pokemon.

With a heavy heart, you pull out what meager funds you have, facing you options. There wasn’t enough to get a motel room on any of the islands for even one night. You barely had enough for a malasada.

“Figures.” You sigh, rubbing your forehead, pushing your cap up, “Okay, so, options,” You mumble to yourself, petting to your pokemon, “One, we can turn tail and go back. Not sure they’ll take us back, cuttin’ and runnin’ like that. Don’t really wanna face Plumes, let alone Boss.” You shiver, thinking about the big bad boss of Team Skull. Guzma was… Guzma was alright. He did what good he could for Team Skull.

Until he was angry.

And besides, he probably knew better than to take you back, after what you saw. What you heard. What they warned you.

“So. Option number two,” You screw up your expression, thinking, “Pretty sure Akala’s beaches always have problems with pyukumuku. Might get a little something for throwin’ them back in. Or maybe fishin’ some pearls.”

You turn to look at your pokemon, "Which one do you like better? One or two?" Your salandit rolls his head, looks at you and yawns.

"Yeah, I like option three better. Just sit here, good choice my man." You snort. It’s still so early, there’s probably no other trainers out and about. So no likely pokemon battles or prize money. You didn't even have enough for a battle buffet.

Groaing, you get to your feet, pokeball in hand, "Option two it is." You return your salandit to his pokeball, decision made. You leave the Pokemon Center, and begin the walk to the Tide Song Hotel. It was a pretty easy way to make money, throwing pyukumuku back into the ocean after they beached themselves; and all you had to do was make sure none of your former brothers and sisters were at the beach, making fools of themselves.

Yeah. Totally easy.

-

The hotel is ridiculous in its grandeur, but the bellboy you speak to is very helpful, sighing in relief when you offer to help with the pyukumuku.

"There's another employee on the beach who can get you started," The not-that-much-younger-than-you boy says, "He'll be happy to have help."

You nod, hands in your pockets as you move towards the beach. You can't help but think that this'll be easy money, that getting a job, even a one-off like this, is a good sign. A sign that maybe this was meant to be, that maybe you should go straight. Maybe, if you do enough odd jobs like this on the islands, maybe…

You take that final step off of the marble staircase leading to the beach, your head in the clouds.

"Yo! What'd you think your doin', huh?!" Your tentative fantasies crack and break, shattered into pieces.

Two male Team Skull grunts greet you on the beach, their arms swinging threateningly.

"Mindin' my own business." You growl, arms crossing your chest. You stare at them like you did the Aether employees, somehow looking down at them from up under your hat.

“You sure?” The other asks, stepping forward, “’Cause from where I’m standin’ it looks like you’re encroaching on our turf, punk.”

You fight back a smile of relief- they don’t recognize you. They might not even know you’ve left.

“Whatever numbskull,” You reply, “I’ve not no beef with you. I’m just looking to make some cash.”

“Well, maybe we’ve got beef with you! Tryin’ to make money on our beach.” They shouted, swinging their arms again. Did you really look like that when you posed?

“It’s not your beach. It’s the hotels.” You roll your eyes. God, did all of you sound like this? No wonder people hated Team Skull so much.

“Oh please, the hotel wishes.”

“Seriously? That’s your comeback?”

“Like you can do better?” Their voices go hard, and you can see in the way their shoulders bunch that they’re pissed; you called them out, and now they think they have to prove themselves.

“Hell yeah.” You brace your feet, and set your hat at an angle.

"Then prove it!"

Two kids you would've called brothers just last night sent out their zubat and yungoos, yelling about "teaching you a lesson".

It was a hard battle, but your salandint's poison and fire was enough to knock out both pokemon, in the end.

"Look," You hiss, rounding on the grunts, "You guys need to get yourselves together, seriously.”

The boys get to their feet, “Screw you. You better stay out of our way," They growl, shoving at your shoulders as they push pass, "Team Skull for life, yo."

You watch them go, rolling your eyes. They didn't know anything about Team Skull. You really hoped that for them, it stayed that way.

You pray you’re the only one to be disenchanted.

-

After that, it didn’t take much to find the hotel employee on the beach, standing next to the lifeguard chair. He took in your outfit and hair, an obvious look of distrust in his eyes before he accepted your help.

“I just counted about fifteen pyukumuku,” He wiped at the sweat under his hat, “If you’ll toss them back into the water, the hotel’ll pay you.”

It actually wasn’t that hard, tossing them back. The pyukumuku were surprisingly docile, seeming to accept their fate. Although, if the pokemon could smile, you would’ve sworn a couple were, as you carefully picked them up, and launched them back to the water. Handling the pokemon reminded you of your very small team… maybe a pyukumuku would be a nice addition? Not that you were in any position to take care of anymore pokemon. Hell, you were barely able to provide for yourself.

But if you were… If you could make a full team? Maybe a grass type, like a carnivine, or a tsareena. Maybe a lilligant. And some of those mainland pokemon looked really cute too, if you were really gonna dream big.

Pyukumukus were kinda cute too, and pretty cool with their attacks.

Getting the money from the hotel employee was the best thing to happen to you all day. All week, if you stopped to think about it.

“Thanks,” You say, pocketing the cash, “You all gonna need help tomorrow too?”

The man sighs, shrugging, “Pyukumuku typically come in with the tides. If you get here early enough, we might be able to give you more.”

“Cool.” The tension in your shoulders fades slightly. Altogether now, you definitely have enough for one night, maybe two if you’re lucky.

Maybe getting run off from Team Skull wasn’t going to be the end. Maybe this was how to you could start again.

A song to heal a tired soul 6 (Raikichi x Piers)

Rated: Teen and mature

Warning: Bad language, I guess?

Note: Raikichi is around 25 years old

-----PART 6--------

I woke up after a really good night. I slept very well, specially since yesterday Piers and me decided to start a relationship that anyone didn’t know. Well, except Glaceon. I smiled as I stroked my Glaceon’s fur, who yawned and stretched before opening her blue eyes.

“Morning, girl” I said petting her belly “Did you sleep well? Cause I did”

Glaceon nodded and started to clean her fur while I stood up. Since I only slept with the short pants of my pajamas and nothing covering my torso, I took the hoodie with snowflakes pattern that Raihan gave me and put it on and I went to the living room, smiling at the sigh of Piers sleeping peacefully on the couch. He had removed his ponytail, so now his hair was messy, covering his back and part of his face. I sat on the edge of the couch and I leant in order to remove gently the hair of his face and then, I kissed the corner of his lips, making him smile. He moved more to the backrest of the sofa, giving me space to lay down next to him since the couch was big enough for two people laying down there. I smiled and I laid next to him, facing him. He kissed my lips as he made me curl more next to him, tangling my legs with his.

“Ah...Nice way to wake up” he purred with a smile as he stroked my hair “Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah...And you?” I said stroking his face

“Pretty well...But now I don’t mind sleeping with you right now...”

“You’re more sleepy than a Furret” I said giggling 

“Perhaps...”

Then, Glaceon twitched  her ears and made a sound as she pointed to the door of my uncle’s room, indicating me that she had heard him, so I kissed Piers before sitting down again on the couch and turning on the TV. Piers moved a bit and managed to sit as well in order to see the TV with me. Nobody knew about our relationship cause we didn’t know how people would react about our love. Well, the most sure thing is having Raihan posting A LOT on the social media and both Piers and me didn’t want that.

“Good morning” my uncle said with a yawn as he came to the living room “Watching something interesting?”

“Some news and...Oh no” 

“Raikichi?” Piers asked 

Oh no. They were showing a reportage of Pokemon Contests and they were showing some of MY contest. I felt so embarrased seeing that that I buried my face on my hands as I felt my cheeks and ears turning red as I blushed.

“That’s Raikichi?” Piers asked “I didn’t know contests had battles”

“The battles are timed, and the coordinators have to show their Pokemon with beautiful moves” my uncle explained to Piers “The goal is to have more points than the opponent and once the time is over, the winner is the one who has more points.”

“I see...And you had to wear those dresses?” Piers said and I nodded, with my face still buried on my hands.

My uncle laughed and ruffled my head before going to take breakfast and then, he went to prepare himself since he had to open the gym earlier today. Piers and me had breakfast as well, with my cheeks still red. After preparing himself, uncle Kabu said goodbye and went outside home, leaving me and Piers alone.

“Why you blushed like that when you saw the reportage about contests?” Piers asked while he finished washing our dishes before going back to the sofa

“I...I feelt a bit embarrased...” I said, sitting on the coach, followed by him

“Why?”

I sighed and after shaking my head, I smiled softly “Remember when we met that I said I wasn’t thinking on returning to contests?” I said and he nooded, and then, I pulled my hair apart to show him all my face “It’s beacuse my scars...I know that in contests the most importan thing are the Pokemon but...I don’t know why I feel insecure if I try to think on doing a performance...because I think that the people will look at my scars and...”

Piers silenced my words with a kiss as he leant down in the couch, putting my on top of him. I kissed him back as his arms locked behind my back. When we broke the kiss to take air, I leant my forehead on his, with my closed and a smile on my lips. “You are pretty, Raikichi, with or without scars; I love you now and I’ll always love you...” he said, his hands now under the hoodie and stroking the bare skin of my sides, making me shiver a bit. You’re not wearing anything under the hoodie, are you?” he chuckled on my lips

“Piers...” I murmured as I kissed him again, feeling the heat of the moment hit me, and I was sure it was hitting Piers as well “...I love you...” I kept kissing him, mostly ignoring that the main door opened again.

“Sorry, kiddo, I forgot my-Raikichi?!”

Oh. Shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. I stood up, clinching my hands on the hoodie as my face turned bright red. Piers was also red, trying to hid himself with the blanket he used to sleep. “Did I interrupt something?” my uncle said and I noticed by the tone of his voice that he was having fun with the fact of catching me and Piers kissing in the couch.

“N-No...I...I...” I tried to say and my uncle laughed, making me covering my head and part of my face with the hood.

“I think I’ll return to the gym” uncle Kabu said “I’ll come back to take my coat” he said as he exited the house again.

I groaned as I removed the hood before being pulled into a tender hug by Piers. “Sorry...” I said, burying my face on his chest “Now he’s going to tease me with this for many days”

“Well, if we tell him we can have his word of not telling to anyone” Piers said

“With anyone you mean Raihan as well?”

“Yeah, that man isn’t very good keeping secrets”

I sighed again as I heard his heart beat while his hands played softly with the locks of my hair. With Guzma this wouldn’t be possible. Well, Guzma and me didn’t have a proper relationship since he threw everything to the trash before we could start something. That made my relationship with Piers be more special, cause this was a true relationship. I smiled as my fingers played as well with the locks oh his hair, making him blush. We spent near an hour like that, watching the TV, until Glaceon jumped on my back, demanding attention. 

“Okay, okay” I said and sighed after watching the time on my Rotom Phone “I should take a quick shower. My uncle wants me to work more with Raboot and see the progress I’m doing with him”

“Then I should let you go” he said, but his arms were wrapped around me

“Piers...”

“Yes, babe?”

“You’re not going to let me go, do you?”

“Maybe if you ask with a kiss...”

“C’mere, babe” I said kissing him.

As he said, he let me go after few kisses more. I went to my room first and once I got clean clothes, I went to take a quick bath while Piers texted his sister. After that quick shower and after putting my black and blue outfit with my accesories and the hair pulled in a ponytail, I went to the living room. “The bath is free” I said and Piers stood up, taking his clothes and going to the bathroom. 

An hour later, Piers was bathed and dressed. He hugged me from behind and peppered my neck with kissed, making me blush. “Do you really have to go?”

“Yeah, but don’t worry” I said, turning to face him and to kiss him “We can go out for a date another day”

“That sounds well, babe” he said “C’mon, let’s go” he added taking his bag after putting his dirty clothes inside it “Let’s not make your uncle wait for too long”

We exited the house followed by my Glaceon, and while I closed the door, Piers looked around, sighing in relief for something that I didn’t know. “So, about that date...I want to invite you to one of my concerts in Spikemuth”

“That sounds really good, Piers” I said, smiling and blushing

“Then, when-”

But before he could continue, we heard Raihan approaching us with Leon and then, Dragon Boy had his arm around Piers’ shoulders “Morning, Piers. What a surprise to find you here”

“Well, yesterday Raikichi invited me to stay on her uncle’s house cause it was getting dark” Piers said releasing from Raihan’s grip 

“The little Champion invited you?” Raihan asked “That sounds interesting and-Hey!”

“Listen to me, Raihan, I hope you don’t mention this in the social media” I said grabbing him by the hoodie and pulling him down “Because if you do it...Well, Glaceon has a very cold touch. Understood?”

Raihan swallowed hard as he nodded and I let him go. “Okay, I have stuff to do in the Gym with my uncle. If you’re going to take Piers with you, make sure that he arrives to Spikemuth in one piece, ‘kay? I’m sure his sister won’t be happy if you bring him in pieces”

“Don’t worry, Raikichi” Leon said “We’re only going to have few training battles”

“I don’t know if I should worry with your horrible sense of direction, Leon”

“Hey!”

I laughed and he shook his head before going with Raihan to search the nearest Flying Taxi stop, giving Piers some time to kiss me. “I’ll text you with the day and hour of the concert, ‘kay?”

“Alright, babe” I said kissing him one more time “Now go before they decide to turn and see that you aren’t with them.”

“I love you, Raikichi”

“I love you too, Piers”

He smiled and went behind Leon and Raihan, leaving me and Glaceon there. I couldn’t help but smile as we made our way to the Gym, ready for a day full of interesting things.

Once I arrived to the Gym, I got Raboot out of his Pokeball and I explained what we were going to do. Raboot was nervous, and I could understand him, but when I petted his head, he looked at me and I smiled. “You’ll do fine, Raboot. C’mon, they’re waiting”

They went to the place of the Gym where her uncle was waiting for them. “Are you ready, kiddo?” he said and I nodded as I took one of my Pokeballs from my belt “So, what’s your plan?”

“I know Raboot can learn Electro Ball, and I will use a Pokemon that knows that move to teach him” I said “Luxray, I choose you!”

Luxray went out of her Pokeball with a roar ad lighting bolts went through her fur. “Luxray, I need you to teach Raboot how to use Electro Ball since he can learn it. Are you ready?” I asked and Luxray nodded “Then, let’s go!”

Luxray showed Raboot how to use Electro Ball, and Raboot tried to follow her, but after try after try, he started to get tired and started to think on giving up. “C’mon, Raboot, you can do it” I said petting him “I know is hard, but if you keep trying, you’ll able to learn it”

Raboot nodded and kept trying. Hours passed, night arrived and after a lot of tries, Raboot finally managed to use Electro Ball againts the dummies before falling on the ground, exhausted. I ran to hug him happily “You did it! You learnt Electro Ball!”

“Now he has to perfect it” uncle Kabu said “And I’m sure you’ll make him being success”

I nodded and after returning Raboot and Luxray to their Pokeballs, we went back home. Once we arrived, we prepared dinner, and then, my uncle dropped the question I was trying to avoid.

“So...You and Piers, right?”

I blushed madly as I kept cutting the ingredients, trying to calm down “Y-yeah...I...I’m sorry, uncle, I wanted to tell you before but I didn’t find the proper moment...And Piers and me didn’t want to tell anyone cause the press and...Well...How others would react and...”

But I couldn’t finishg cause my uncle hugged me “I’m proud of you, kiddo. You have moved on and found someone that you really love, someone that really loves you. And don’t worry, I’ll keep it in secret until you find the proper moment to tell others”

“Thanks, uncle”

After having dinner, we watched some news on the TV, and I got a bit worried about how some wild Pokemon got hurted and confused after suffering Dynamax in the Wild Area. I knew that the ones that used Dynamax under the command of their trainers are safe, but the wild ones...I shook my head and I went to my room after saying goodnight to my uncle. I laid down on my bed with Glaceon, and when my phone vibrated, I smiled when I saw Piers’ message.

“Hi, babe, how are you?”

“Tired, but fine. Raboot has learnt Electro Ball”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Now he has to perfect it”

“That’s cool. Oh, I have the schedule for my next concert. Is in two days, at 21:00″

“Cool! I’ll be there! I promise”

“And I’ll be glad of saying you there, babe”

“Me too...Oh, did Raihan and Leon give you problems?”

“Nah, we had some matches and then I sneaked away from them. I should let you sleep. Good night, babe. I love you”

“Good night, honey. I love you too”

With a smile, I covered myself with the blankets and I quickly fell asleep.

A song to heal a tired soul 4 (Raikichi x Piers)

Rated: Teen and Mature

Warnings: Bad language and something like that, I guess

Note: Raikichi is around 25 years old

------PART 4------

“Why you did that?! In what were you thinking?!”

“I saved him, Guzma! I wouldn’t allow that Salazzle to kill him!!”

“YOU COULD HAVE DIED, DAMN!!! YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT!!”

“Guzma...Where are you going?!”

Then, I got teleported to the Wela Volcano Park in the moment where that Salazzle attacked me. I shouted, and everything turned black

----

"Hey, hey Raikichi, wake up”

“Ugh...” I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly, accomodating to the light as I stood up slowly, sitting down. I found out that I had fallen sleep in the couch “I feel everything is spinning around me...”

“You were having bad dreams, right?” my uncle said and I nodded “Wanna talk about them? You were murmuring a name before shouting in dreams”

Oh, shit. “Yeah...I dreamt with the day when Guzma yelled at me in the Pokecenter...And then, I dreamt with the moment when that Totem Salazzle attacked me...I think I dreamt that due the attack I suffered by that Dynamax Haxorus...”

“Something is telling me that maybe you still have some feelings for that Guzma”

“I don’t know what to think...I don’t love him, not anymore after what he talked to me that day...But I don’t know why I keep having those dreams...If this is what I get when I try to love someone...”

“Not all the people are the same, kiddo” my uncle said “I’m sure you will find someone to love.”

“I’m not sure...” I said drinking a bit of the hot cocoa my uncle gave to me

“What about Piers?” he said and I coughed as I blushed, making him chuckle “A month had passed since you arrived and you have got along very well with him”

“I-I know but why did you ask it like that?” I said after recovering, trying to control my blush

“C’mon kiddo, maybe I’m an old man but I’m not senile. I can see how you smile when you’re with him. You come back home very happy after meeting him, and every time you hear his songs, I can see that smile again on you”

“W-Well, it’s true that we’re friends, but that doesn’t mean that there is something between Piers and me”

“Are you sure, kiddo?” my uncle said rising an eyebrow as he smirked

“Uncle!!” I said, blushing even more when he laughed as he ruffled my hair

“I’ll prepare you a bath and I’ll put you a stool inside the bathub to allow you to have your wonded leg away from the water” he said as he stood up 

“Thanks, uncle”

Uncle Kabu smiled and went to the bathroom as I finished my breakfast. Glaceon was curled next to Ninetales and Arcanine, napping happily. I smiled, gladly that her wounds got healed properly. Of course, Charizard was still in the Pokemon center; her wounds were very serious, and that made my smile fell. Glaceon looked at me and jumped to my lap, ready to comfort me. “It’s okay, girl, don’t worry” I said stroking her fur.

After some minutes, my uncle helped me to go to the bathroom. The wounds hurted and I couldn’t lean part of my heigh on that leg, making me walk anwarkdly. Once in the bathroom, my uncle went to prepare the first aid kid while I took the bath. It was difficult to bath with a leg outside the bathtub, but until I got the bandages out, this was the way. Luckily, my uncle’s Salazzle was here to help me. Once I got bathed, I got dried and dressed, and with care and avoiding leaning my weight on the wounded leg. I sat down on the couch and I let my uncle to treat the wounds.

“It seems that soon you’ll get this bandages out, but you’ll have scars” he said as he treated them

“Well, more scars to the collection” I said and he looked at me “What? I’ve got more scars than those”

“I know, but this is a serious thing...I don’t know if I should ask about all of them”

“Maybe other day, ‘kay?” I said before hissing

“I know it hurts, but that means that is healing well” my uncle said putting clean bandages on the wounds “Alright, there you go. Oh, you have packages”

“Uh? From who?”

“Some of the leaders were worried about you and sent some goodies to you” he said bringing me the packages “Leon sent you goodies as well”

I blinked twice before picking some of the packages. Food, books, accesories...I rose an eyebrow when I saw that Raihan’s gift was a really, REALLY, big hoodie with snowflakes pattern. I sighed and then, I opened Leon’s gift, sighing when I saw that it was cap with a Charizard drawn on it. The last one was from Piers and when I opened it, I gasped: it was a plushie of a black and white Zigzagoon with pink eyes. It was very soft and cute, and I hug it close to me.

“Ah, a plushie of a Galarian Zigzagoon” my uncle said “From Piers?”

“Yeah...” I said blushing a bit

“Oh, those are Ballonlea handmade cookies. Opal always has a good taste for these things. And those are interesting; archeology books from Stow-On-Side. Some postcards from Turffield and Hulbury...Oh, and handmade sweets from Circhester” he said 

“I also got a big hoodie from Raihan and a cap from Leon”

“And this is from me”

My uncle gave me a small package that was covered by red and golden paper. I took away the paper and once I opened the box, I looked at him, taking the thing that was inside. “What’s this?”

“A Dynamax Band” he said “I thought you would want to try it, so I got this one for you”

“Thank you so much, uncle” I said hugging him “You know, I could teach you how to use Z moves. And who knows, maybe I could ebat your Dynamax Centiskorch with a Z move”

“That sounds really good, but first, you need to recover”

“Yeah, yeah, I know”

Hours passed and I was getting bored of staying at home. I only could move from the couch to the bathroom and reverse, and if I tried to move more, my uncle noticed it and quickly took me to the couch. After speaking with him, he accepted to help me to go to the divan that was outside in the flat’s terrace. It was a beautiful garden, with pretty views of Mototoske. I closed my eyes, relaxed on the divan as I heard the chirps and sounds of the different Pokemon that were flying there. Then, my Rotom Phone sounded, calling my attention. It was a message from Piers, and I couldn’t help but blush.

“Hey, how’re ya doing?”

“Pretty well. Uncle Kabu said that soon the wounds will be healed”

“That’s nice”

“But I’m bored of being here without being able to do things. I managed to convince my uncle to allow me to be on the terrace”

“Sorry for hearing that. I wish I could do something to cheer you up”

“You have done it”

“Really?”

“Yeah, that Zigzagoon plushie really cheered me up. I really like it. Thank you much”

“I’m glad you like it. I didn’t know what things you like and I thought on a plushie”

“You thought well; I love plushies”

“Then, next time we go out I should give you another one”

“I wouldn’t mind to go out with you once I got this bandages away. I’ll text you once I got free of them”

“And I’ll wait for it. I hope you’ll recover soon”

“Thank you, Piers”

I smiled as I told the Rotom Phone to search some random videos, still blushing after that conversation with Piers. Then I started to think about my uncle’s words. Maybe he was right, but how I could know it? Those feelings...I had them with Guzma, but they were gone after that day, and I was having them again, but this time was different. Was I having feelings for Piers? It could be a possibility, but I was insecure of what would happen. What happened between me and Guzma still hurted me, but my uncle was right; I should moved on, and who knows if this time was the right moment to do it. Glaceon looked at me and jumped on my lap, making me chuckle.

“Do you want to know something, Glaceon?” I asked and she tilted her head “I think I have feelings for Piers” I said and she moved her tail, happily “But I’m not sure...Those words that Guzma said still hurt me” Glaceon hissed and made a weird noise, showing her dislike for Guzma “I know...Who knows, maybe uncle Kabu is right...”

-------------

A week later passed after the incident with the Dynamax Haxorus. Finally I could remove the bandages and as uncle Kabu said, I got new scars. I sighed when I saw them, but for me, it was a normal thing. Most of my body was covered by scars and burns, and I learned to live with them. 

That day, after getting my wounds healed completly, I called Piers minutes later. At first I felt guilty cause he looked like he was sleeping and I just had woken him up, but he quickly rose happily when I told him about my wounds, and now I was trying to find the proper outfit for a date. I didn’t know if I should call it a date since we weren’t a couple, but my uncle didn’t stop teasing me with that. 

“Glaceon, what do you think?” I asked her showing her a blue short dress. She shook her head “No? Alright. Oh, and this? No again? Damn”

Then my Glaceon pointed to the black and white outfit formed by a white ruffled shirt with black short pants, and also with black short boots. I nooded and I removed the bathrobe and I got on the clothes I choosed, boots included. Then, I put my hair in a ponytail and I finished preparing myself when I put my necklace with my Key Stone, my Z-Power Ring on my left wrist and my Dynamax Band on my right wrist. I took my bag and together with Glaceon, we went out of the room.

“I’m going out uncle” I said “I promsie I’ll help you tomorrow with the Gym”

“Don’t worry about that, kiddo. Go and enjoy yourself” my uncle said

I smiled and I got out of the house, with my Glaceon next to me. I told Piers to meet me outside the Budew Drop Inn, and there he was, I blushed as I approached him. He was wearing a black outfit, with a pink shirt. It was weird seeing him without his Gym uniform, but the clothes he was wearing in that moment fit him very well.

“Sorry for being late” I said smiling

“You’re not late, and I don’t mind to wait a bit” he said, blushing a bit when he saw my clothes “So...What do you want to do first?”

“Maybe we could visit some places of Mototoske that I don’t know yet, and maybe we could have some ice cream later”

“Sounds good” Piers said smirking “Let’s go then”

We went to visit curious places of Mototoske, and I got surprised of how big the city was. We entered in one of the boutiques cause I was curious about the clothes, and Piers didn’t mind to wait inside while I took a look to the clothes; in fact, he suggested me to try some clothes. After that, he took me to the Battle Café that was in the city, in which the owner gave us some prizes if we defeated him. We accepted and the battle started. I used my Glaceon and Piers used his Obstagoon, while the café owner used a Swirlix and a Milcery. It was a hard battle for Obstagoon, cause according to the Pokedex, it was Dark type apart of being Normal type, but together with my Glaceon, they got their victory after defeating the two Type Pokemon. I was so happy that I hugged Piers, who gave a spin with me on his arms before putting me on the floor, both of us blushing madly. After congratuling us, the café owner gave us some Berry and Clover Sweets to us. Piers gave his to me, explaining that those Sweets were used to evolve Milcery to Alcremie, and he wasn’t an user of Fairy type pokemon. I blushed again as I put the Sweets on my bag before we took a seat in order to enjoy a very delicious ice cream. We shared stories and anecdotes for near an hour, and once we finished the ice creams, we paid them-well, Piers paid them; he wanted to pay them despite I told him to pay them between us; and then, we went for a slow walk.

“That was a really good battle” he said “I heard you were a very skilled trainer, and now I was able to see your skills in person”

“Oh, well, there are more people with the same skills like me”

“I’m not that sure since you are the World Champion and those people not”

I blushed when he said that “Oh, c’mon”

“I’m speaking the truth” Piers said with a smile

“Then I should tell you that you are also a very skilled trainer” I said

“Despite of not using Dynamax?”

“Yeah, that’s a very good thing because you don’t depend of Dynamax. That means that your strategies are good enough to be a very strong and skilled trainer without using Dynamax”

This time Piers was blushing. The weather got a bit cold and I couldn’t help but shiver, cursing to myself for not taking a jacket with me. “Here, take mine” Piers said putting his jacket on my shoulders, like the day when he found me in the Wild Area

“T-Thanks” I said blushing as we kept walking, blushing more when he put his arm over my shoulders and made me be close to him, trying to keep me warm. Okay, Raikichi, keep calm. Keep. Yourself. Calm.

“I really enjoyed this date with you, Raikichi” he said “I went out with other people before, but this time is the first time I really enjoyed to be with someone”

Keep calm, Raikichi, keep calm. “And if you want, I wish to have more dates like the one we had today” Okay, the keep calm mission has failed, and now I was blushing madly “What do you think?”

“I-I would like that” I said and he chukled

We finally reached my uncle’s flat. I gave Piers his jacket back and despite him telling me to keep it, he finally took it. Then, he kissed my forehead, making me blush “You’re a wonderful person, Raikichi” he said smiling

Still blushing, I smiled and I managed to tug him of his necklace and made him lean in order to kiss his cheek “And I can say the same of you, Piers” I whispered to his ear before letting him recover a bit his balance, allowing me to notice how madly he was blushing.

“So...We’ll keep in touch, ‘kay?” he said “See ya’ soon”

I smiled and nodded, seeing him going to the nearest Flying Taxi station. I shivered again whe I noticed the cold night wind, so I entered the house. Uncle Kabu was preparing dinner, and when he heard me enter, he smiled.

“Hello, kiddo. How was your date?”

“Wonderful” I said taking my boots off and putting my slippers on “It has been really wonderful”

“I’m glad of hearing that, Raikichi” he said, hugging me before letting me go “I’m happy of seeing you happy”

“I know...And you were right. Maybe I’ll be able to find someone to love” I said before entering my room in order to get on my sleeping clothes.

Once I was ready, I helped my uncle to prepare the table for dinner, answering his questions about my date, sometimes ending with me blushing a lot. After dinner, I went to my room cause I was really tired, I laid down on the bed, Glaceon curled next to me, and then, I smiled when I saw that I recieved a message from Piers.

“So...Did you really enjoy this day? I mean, it’s not the first time that we go out, but I want to make sure you enjoy going out with me”

“Of course I enjoyed it, Piers”

“I’m glad to hear that...I enjoyed too...Ahm...I liked that kiss too”

“Oh...I...I really liked too...Uhm...Piers?”

“Yeah?”

“Did I hurt you when I tug you by the necklace?”

“Nah, it only took me by surprise”

“I was worried that I could have hurt you...”

“Don’t worry, ‘kay? I was thinking on having another date soon, what do you think?”

“That sounds fine, but I have to see when I have free time”

“No problem, babe”

Wait, babe? He called me babe? Usually I could get a bit mad since the one who used to call me that was Guzma, but this time I found myself blushing.

“Oh, shit, I hope I didn’t offend you calling you ‘babe’“

“You didn’t...I don’t mind if you call me that” I was sure that Piers was blushing madly right now despite of not being able to see him “I...I have something to tell you...But I think it will be better if I tell you in person”

“Then I can wait until our next date to hear it. Good night, babe, and sleep well”

“Good night, Piers”

I put the phone next to me on the pillow as a smile decorated my lips and my cheeks got red. Glaceon curled next to me and I stroked her fur. Yeah, uncle Kabu was right. “Wanna know something, Glaceon? I think I found the person my heart tells me to love...”

Glaceon yawned and I yawned as well, closing my eyes and falling asleep as I heard Piers’ songs.

-------------------Part 3----------------------

“I hope you will not feel bad in the Gym” uncle Kabu said “My Gym Trainers are excited of meeting you”

“Don’t worry uncle, I’ll be fine” I said

Today, my uncle asked me to go with him to his Gym in order to see how the Gyms worked in Galar, and of course, I said yes. I brought with me some of the Fire type Pokemon I had since my uncle was the Fire type leader. Of course, Glaceon was with me. She didn’t want to stay home and I was happy of ahving her around me. I felt the gazes of some people that stared at my clothes, but I didn’t care. My clothes set was formed by a black and blue croc top, black and blue pants with one long leg, leaving the other bare, and black and blue shoes. Of course, the jacket had the same colors, and the glove that my uncle gave me as well. 

Once we arrived, we went to greet the trainers that were there, and of course, I ended surrounded by them, asking me to give them autographs. At first, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed, but they were so excited to see me on a battle that I couldn’t help but smile. Glaceon, of course, put the limits to avoid them to invade my personal space.

“Alright, on your marks” uncle Kabu ordered “We’ll show Raikichi how Gyms work here and maybe you could have the chance of battling againts her”

The trainers looked at me and with a sigh, I nodded and I smile “Yeah,l I suppouse I can offer an exhibiton match”

“Then, let’s start!” 

My uncle showed me how Gyms worked, and this one was interesting; capturing Pokemon but also compiting with the other trainers. Once the challengers got the enough points, they could go and challenge my uncle. The place were the Pokemon catching took place was full of different Fire type pokemon that looked pretty interested in my Glaceon, who hissed to them when they approached her too much. Then, my uncle took me to the part of the stadium where the challengers fought him, and I found myself with my mouth open.

“Whoa...This is...”

“So...What do you think?”

“I really like how Gyms work here” I said “And you said that most of the challengers give up with you cause they can’t defeat you?”

“Yeah, and I’m proud of it” my uncle said “That means that I really offer a good challenge”

We kept talking until Glaceon heard something that made her ran to the place where the other Pokemon of the Gym were hiding. My uncle and me followed her, curious and worried about what was happening. We spotted Glaceon sniffing one of the grass patches, and then, she stepped back, letting a Pokemon to exit from its hidden place.

“I see that your Glaceon has found Raboot” my uncle said with a sad sigh

“Raboot?” I said and then, I checked the information on the Rotom Phone “I see...It’s Scorbunny first evolution, right?”

“Yes” he said

“And what is a Raboot doing here?”

“He belonged to a trainer that released him and broke the pokeball” Chaka said “His trainer did that cause they were very upset with the poor Pokemon when he evolved from Scorbunny to Raboot”

“By the love of all the living things...Poor buddy...” I said as I approached the Raboot

“Be careful, Raikichi” Darren said “Maybe Raboot didn’t attack another Pokemon, but he attacks the people who try to approach him

“Let me do this. I know how to handle it” I said, kneeling down and offering my hand to the Raboot to allow him to smell it “C’mon buddy, I’m not going to hurt you...” I moved a bit more. 

That was a mistake, cause the Raboot, seeing me as a threat, attacked me with a Flamethrower. I shielded myself with my arms. Bad luck that I didn’t have my jacket with me. I didn’t care now about the wound; the Raboot was really scared and he attacked me cause he was scared. “Hey...don’t worry buddy...” I said as I finally reached him and I gave him soft pets on his head. The Raboot got paralized of my touch before looking at me, and when he realized what happened, he ran away, hidden in the tall grass. 

“Raikichi!” my uncle said as he approached me, kneeling next to me “Let me see that wound...”

“It’s not serious, uncle”

“We should get ride of that Raboot, he’s a danger...” Elle said with sadness

“He isn’t a danger by free will” I said “He’s really scared of humans; and I’m sure that is caused by the trauma he got when his former trainer left him”

“In what are you thinking, Raikichi?” uncle Kabu said as he treated the burn of my right arm

“First of all, I’ll make some food specially for a Fire type Pokemon like Raboot, and then, I’ll try to gain his trust. I’m not going to battle him; that would be worst”

“That’s a good idea, but not for today” he said as he finished putting the bandages around the burn. “Do you want to go home and rest?”

“Uncle, I was in worst situations than this” I said and then, I shook my head when I saw my uncle’s face expression “Sorry for saying that in that tone, but it’s the truth” I said as I got up “Poor Raboot, he’s really scared of humans...Is going to be difficult, but I’ll be success with him”

After that, we made sure that any other Pokemon got hurted when the Raboot attacked, and then, I offered an exhibition match to one of the trainers. Elle’s Salandit didn’t have a chance againts my Delphox. After the match, my uncle and me decided to go shopping. I was searching some specific berries in order to make tasty Poffins. After buying the berries, we went back home and I started to make the Poffins, determinated to help that Raboot.

----

The next day I woke up early and I ran to knock my uncle’s door, chuckling when I heard him groaning “C’mon, uncle! Time to wake up” I said and then, he opened the door, wearing a sleeping coat with flame pattern “Raikichi, do you know what time is it?”

“Yes, I know, and that’s why I woke you up” I said “If I want to get that Raboot, I need to do some preparations, and we need to be in the Gym as soon as possible”

He groaned again as he rubbed his eyes, going to the kitchen. Together, we had breakfast, and after getting ready, we went to the Gym. My uncle was still groaning and complaining cause I woke him up too early, but when he saw my determination, he smiled a bit. We arrived at the Gym and after gatherin the trainers, I quickly gave the orders. I told them to leave the patch of tall grass where Raboot was hiding free for other Pokemon. Once they finished, I put a plate with the Puffins and I sat down, my legs crossed, and waited. Glaceon sat down as well, twiching her ears when she heard something. Up, in the Gym terraces, my uncle and the Gym trainers were watching worried but curious.

Near an hour later, Raboot appeared and slowly walked to the plate until he spotted me and stopped. I smiled him gently, without doing any moves; Glaceon would do that part. She stood up and after picking a Puffin, she put it on his little paws before returning to her spot. Raboot smelled the Poffin and he quickly ate it before looking at me. “Don’t worry, these are for you” I said, smiling 

Raboot then kept eating the Puffins, enjoying them. Once he was satisfied, he approached me slowly and smelled my hand again before rubbing his head against him. “See? I’m not going to hurt you, buddy...I know it’s difficult for you to trust humans again, but I can help you with that” I showed him a Pokeball. Raboot looked at me again before looking to the Pokeball and then, he touched the Pokeball, getting inside it.

One.

Two.

Three.

And the Pokeball stopped moving. I smiled and I took the Pokeball before letting Raboot exite and then, I smiled again when Raboot went to play with Glaceon. Then I heard claps and cheerings; my uncle and the trainers were very happy about the Raboot having a second chance to have a happy life. I smiled and I stroked the Pokemon, happy for helping this little one to gain trust in humans again.

-----

Near a month passed since I arrived to Galar. My relationship with the Gym Leaders got stronger, specially with Piers. Raihan was still teasing me with my height, and only when Glaceon threated him with freeze him, he stopped. 

That day I was helping my uncle with the Gym until I decided to go home in order to get more Pokemon- I went with Glaceon and with Charizard that day. I was in the middle of my way back home when I got ambush by a lot of journalist. Glaceon glared at them, trying to make them back off, but they insisted and then, they invaded my personal space, some of them grabbing my jacket or my arm in order to avoid me to go. Charizard got out of her pokeball and after taking me and Glaceon and put us on her back, she flew again. I was in shock, scared...I buried my face on Charizard’s neck, crying, until something hit us, making us fell. Charizard was wounded, but she quickly grabbed me as everything turned black.

----KABU’S POV----

“Are you sure she was going to come back?” the chairman asked “I have more important things to do, Kabu”

“I’m sure she will come, Chairman” I said, keeping myself calm. 

“Kabu!” Elle called me as she approached us running “We have bad news!”

“What’s it, Elle?”

“Is Raikichi, sir” she said “She’s missing”

My niece, missing?! “What?! Are you serious?! What happened?!”

“She was ambushed by the press, and they forced her to left the place” Chaka added “We saw them persecuting her until they lost her...And we think she was going to the Wild Area”

Damn. I knew Raikichi was brave and she could handle things by herself, but she didn’t know anything about the Wild Area, and now, who knows what dangers she could have been confronting right know. “Chairman Rose, I think we should postpone the meeting for another day. First I need to find my niece”

He nodded and then, I called the other Gym Leader to ask them for help before taking a Flying Taxi and going to the meeting point.

----RAIKICHI’S POV----

I groaned as I opened my eyes. I tried to recognize where we were, but everything looked like it was trembling. I sat down with effort, feeling a high pain on my left leg. I swallowed when I saw multiple wounds on my leg, bleeding. With a sigh, I removed my jacket and I wrapped it around the leg to stop the bleeding before checking on Charizard. She was wounded as well, but she managed to save me, and then, I realized something.

“Glaceon? Where are you, girl?”

But I heard a roar that put Charizard in alert: it was a really, REALLY, big Haxorus. Uncle Kabu told me about Dynamax Pokemon, but I didn’t expect being attacked by one. The Haxorus was approaching us; it wasn’t paying attention to us, but if we didn’t move...Charizard took me and with a big effort, she took me to a hidden place, in order to wait for someone’s help.

----

The night arrived, and I started shivering. Charizard tried her best to keep me warm, but she was getting weaker, and her wounds were getting worst. I stroked her head, closing my eyes as I stroke her. Then, I heard a voice outside the small cave. I tried to get up, but my wounded leg didn’t allow me, so I ended fall on the ground.

“Raikichi?”

“Piers?” I asked as he helped me to sit down “What are you doing here?”

“Your uncle called me and the other Gym leaders when you went missing, and Obstagoon has a good smelling sense, That’s how I could find you”

“Thank you...I got my leg wounded” I said shivering again and then, he removed his jacket and gave it to me “What about you?”

“Don’t worry, you’ll need it more than me” he said and after I put the jacket on me, he helped me to get on my feet “Hold on me”

I nodded and after returning my Charizard back to her pokeball, we went to the neares station of Flying Taxi, avoiding the wild Pokemon, and the Dynamax Haxorus that attacked me.

“I’m sorry of what happened to you” Piers said “Press and fans can be really annoying”

“They grabbed my jacket and my arm when they saw that I was trying to escape”

“Really?”

“Yeah...I think I’ll have a bruise on my arm” I said, trying to keep myself awake

“I’m sure your uncle will make them pay” he said “And if they dare to do it again, I’ll make sure they will know what happens with people like them”

“You have to deal with them, haven’t you?” I asked as he helped me enter in the taxi 

“Yeah, with many” Piers answered entering and closing the door after telling the Corviknight’s owner the place were we want to go “Do the wounds hurt?”

“A bit, but don’t worry” I said with a yawn “I’m worried about Glaceon...She wasn’t with me when I woke up”

“I’m sure the others had found her” he said with a smile, making me smile as well

After some minutes flying, the Corviknight landed and Piers helped me to exit. Then, I heard my uncle calling me and running to me, hugging me tightly “Uncle, I need...breath...”

“I was very worried, kiddo” he said, tears on his eyes before looking to Piers “Thank you so much, Piers”

“Don’t worry, I told ya I would help and that’s what I did”

I was going to say something when the roars of my Glaceon called my attention. Raihan was grabbing her, trying to heal her wounds, but she managed to get free after biting his hand. Then, she saw me and quickly ran to meet me “Hello girl, I see you’re fine” I said stroking her before letting her to rub her head on Pier’s leg “She’s saying ‘thank you’”

“Thank me?”

I nodded and smiled, making him blush a bit. After thanking the others for they effort, uncle Kabu helped me to get inside the Flying Taxi. Piers offered to help, so both of them entered too and we went back to Mototoske, with Glaceon curled on my legs.

---

We arrived at home, Piers and my uncle Kabu holding me in order to avoid me to fall. Piers helped me to sit down in the couch while my uncle went to find the first aid kit. With a hiss, I removed my jacket, sighing when I saw it with blood stains.

“Now I know what is facing a Dynamax Pokemon” I said 

“You were to confront one?” he asked, worried

“No, we were flying when a Dynamax Haxorus attacked us”

“I should have worn you better about them” uncle Kabu said kneeling down in order to treat my wounds

After treating my wounds and putting bandages on it, I took off Piers’ jacket and I gave it to him. Our fingers touched and both of us blushed a bit. “T-thanks...” I murmured as I laid down on the coach 

“Your welcome...I should go back to Spikemouth. I’m sure Marnie will be terrible worried” Piers said putting his jacket on again 

“I’ll message you once I start to feel better” I said, yawning again

“Don’t worry, ‘kay? Now rest” he said and after saying goodbye to me and to my uncle, he left the house.

Dinner arrived, and despite not having too much hunger, my uncle told me to eat all the food. Glaceon ate her food and once she was done, Ninetales licked her face before cuddling next to her. I smiled and as we watched TV after dinner, I closed my eyes and I ended falling asleep.

[allisquish]

since my commissions are done, I’m gonna work on a some Self-Insert January stuff. I’m thinking about starting with some guzma x reader insert-with-reader-as-a-former-team-skull-grunt fic. Because I’m trash. And I like this idea. Because I’m trash.

First little bit is under the cut, if anyone wants to tell me what they think so far?

You see the familiar white and gold uniform before you really notice anything else on Akala's hillside. Instantly nervous, you keep your eyes on the dirt path under your feet, pulling your white ball cap further down over your eyes. You instantly regret your decision to come out this way, but what choice did you really have left?

You just hope the Aether employee won't recognize the pattern on your shirt.

You pause, wondering if maybe you can still turn around and avoid any confrontation.

But of course there's two of them, and the taller one sees you standing awkwardly in the middle of the path, trying to appear nonchalant. You probably don't look it at all, keeping your head and gaze rotating everywhere but at the two white uniforms at the end of the path.

“Hey you!" The tall Aether employee calls out, walking toward you. You're out of options- you can't ignore them. At a loss, you cross your arms over your chest, staring up at the tall young man from under the brim of your hat. You raise your eyes, but keep your silence.

"You should be careful- Team Skull's been spotted on the nearby beaches, bothering the Slowpoke there."

His partner, a young woman with cropped hair joins him, "I wouldn't face them unless you've got some good pokemon on you." She tells you, eyeing the lone pokeball on your belt.

Biting the inside of your mouth, you reply, "Wasn't really planning on headin' to the beach. 'Sides, this guy needs a Pokémon Center, to be honest. Got a little turned around, it's been awhile since I was here last." You lie through your teeth. Your Saladint is perfectly healthy, but no way where you telling anyone from Aether that.

You didn't leave Team Skull just to get mixed up with the Aether Foundation.

"The Pokémon Center is that way, I think." The woman replies, pointing back the way you came.

"Figures," You sigh, taking three steps back, "Always gettin' turned around. Thanks!"
