Can you do a Kabu x Reader where the reader is doing some fire performing (with their pokemon, similar to a Pokémon contest) and Kabu is just very impressed with the reader's skills?
Excited for some Kabu! Thank you for the request, I hope you like it!

Kabu x reader - Set Ablaze (SFW)
Pokemon contests weren't as common in Galar as they had been in Hoenn. When he heard about the impromptu contest going on, he simply had to visit and see what sort of displays the contest-goers would exhibit.
He had come quite a long way, but he was incredibly excited as he sat down with a bottle of water he'd bought. No one would be able to tell he was elated from his stoic expression, but he certainly was.
You take a deep breath and glance at the arcanine at your side who was all amped up because you were. You had dreamed about being part of a contest since you were young and now you finally had the chance to show off your skills. Maybe this would lead to something greater for you and your companion.
The announcer excitedly tells the crowd that you're next as you step out into the arena. You can hear people in the enormous crowd gasp and clap at the outfit you had made yourself which matched arcanine's fluff and stripes. It was a little cheesy, but it was perfect for something like a contest. You could feel the heat radiating off of arcanine in his excitement, which got you all the more excited, letting go of the fear you'd had up to this point.
Kabu can't help but to smile as he watches you walk out there, looking small next to the large dog-pokemon. It was only a moment before the music started up and you began to move, skillfully dancing opposite arcanine who began to move in a similar way. It's a mix of fire and dancing as you move around one another, perfectly in sync.
The crowd was amazed by you. None more than the fire gym leader himself who sat front and center, absolutely blown away by your blazing show. The way you moved around arcanine and the fire it created without being burned was a talent in itself, but the fact that you were dancing and telling a story with your body was simply incredible. He had signed up for a makeshift contest, he hadn't expected to see the most beautiful display he'd ever witnessed.
The crowd cheered during lulls in the music. As the song came toward the building end and you lifted up a stick which arcanine caught on fire for you, the crowd went wild. Everyone clapping for you as you spin and toss it skillfully between yourself and arcanine, making a display of both of you. You had gone to a lot of effort to perfect the choreography and clearly it had paid off.
As you finish and both of you bow, panting heavily, Kabu is the first to stand up. He claps loudly for you both. Seeing such a brilliant display of fiery perfection at really left an impression on him. Even he, the often stony man, had a slight smile on his face as he admired you both taking your bows.
The rest of the contest was more of a blur than your own performance. You were so excited and wracked with nerves because of the other acts being so amazing. Each one seemed to be better than the last, though as the ending ceremony neared and they gave everyone a short intermission while the judges contemplated you felt like your heart was in your throat. You were worked up enough that the sound of Kabu's voice made you jump and scream.
He holds his hands up to show his innocence as you whip around to see him. Instantly your face is as red as flame when you realize you'd just screamed at Kabu of all people?! "Oh my Arceus? Kabu! ...? I.. I'm so sorry, oh gosh!"
You watch as he calmly waves off your panic and embarrassment. "I didn't mean to startle you." He says simply, his expression up close seemed less intense and more kind than you expected. Before you can respond he opens his mouth again. "I simply had to come find you. I've never seen such a display of power and skill combined into something so beautiful. I thought I might learn something today, but I'm blown away by your passion!" His excitement at you was shown in the slight smile he wore as he spoke.
"Oh wow.. thank you, I.. That means so much. Especially coming from you, Kabu!" Of course you admired the older gentleman. Watching his battles with his own arcanine had only given you more resolve to become the best at what you did. His words were always so encouraging, even when he lost battles.
He smiles slightly and nods, closing his eyes for a moment before looking at you again. "Would you join me after the contest for a victory meal? I'd love to ask you about your techniques." He gives you a long look as your heart beats like crazy. Kabu- KABU was seriously asking YOU about YOUR techniques?! How could you say no? You couldn't, that's how!
"Of course, absolutely!" You beam up at him excitedly. You couldn't believe how impressed he was with you. It would be hard for this day to get any better, though it surely did when you found out you had won. Rushing back out, you cling to the ribbon as you meet up with Kabu who was almost as excited for you as you were. It didn't show on his older features the way it did on yours, but you could tell he was happy for you and happier still to pick your brain over a well-earned meal.

Can I request headcanon of Raihan and Kabu (Separately) becoming interested in a Ice-specialist reader who seems aloof but in reality is just shy, please?
My first request for Kabu! O(≧▽≦)O
Tumblr media
Raihan and Kabu falling for ice-specialist!
Raihan:
At first he denies it, he wouldn't fall for someone so cold and distant. He felt like you didn't have an interesting personality.
But he ended up coming to terms with it and just trying to get to know you better.
When he finally broke through the final layer of your thick ice-layered heart, he realized how sweet and caring you actually were, all covered up by your shyness.
Spending time with you was his favorite thing in the world, although he just told you that he wanted to pass some time and you were the only one available.
He found your team pretty interesting, and honestly, he's not into Ice-types a lot, but you managed to teach him some things.
He likes to say that you're his 'little snow flake'
Tumblr media
Kabu:
Your personalities crushed overall, both of you were really distant and kept everything mostly to themselves.
But Kabu really liked that in you, he basically saw himself in you, and he didn't hate it.
He felt like if he were to tell you something important you would know exactly how to handle it, just like him.
It wasn't him who made the first move because believe it or not, he's a very shy person too.
But when you too really started to get to know each other, he was a true gentleman to you.
Although he decided to take your relationship slow and steady, that doesn't mean that he wasn't showing you as much love as he could provide.
You being an ice-type specialist, were in a sense really opposite from him, but you always need something to spice things up in a relationship.
He never thought he would find himself so interested in ice-type pokemon.
It surprised him, but it didn't bother him.

Galar characters having the same dialect as the irl places they’re based on is so real to me. Why did the anime make them American. This would be so much funnier

How The SW/SH Gym Leaders + Leon Would Ask You Out
I got one idea for Milo and my brain decided that I had to do this for everyone, you’re welcome /j
Milo
Let’s be honest, he’d do that tradition of giving you an Applin
It’s so simple, yet so sweet
Your Applin is best friends with his Flapple/Appletun
Nessa
I feel like she’d be so bold, yet so nervous at the same time
Eventually, she would give you an autograph
“- Nessa; Your #1 Fan”
Pray for her if you’re dense as hell
Kabu
Peepaw Kabu would’ve just walked up to you and asked you out
Nothing special, not nervous at all
Just straight up asks you
Gordie
Backflips
“Wanna go out with me?”
Okay, okay, seriously, he would use some of the cheesiest pickup lines
And maybe does a backflip
Melony
Honestly, she would probably be so over the top
Like, she would make whole ass ice sculptures with her pokemon just to ask you out
Piers
He wouldn’t
Marnie would confess for him, fed up with his lovesick bullshit
Unless he did get the courage, he’d straight up serenade you
Raihan
Oh, he’d be so fucking bold
Probably finished beating some random kid’s pokemon
Fucking announced to the whole stadium that he loves you
It worked
Somehow
Leon
One day, he probably held onto your hand just so his dumbass doesn’t get lost
You were definitely asked if the two of you were dating by some random people
Leon saw the opportunity
“We could be. Wanna go out with me?”

“Is this a pregnancy test?” with Kabu and that Ice type reader from that one request please?
of course! ♡〜٩( ╹▿╹ )۶〜♡
Tumblr media
Is this a pregnancy test? || Kabu x ice-type specialist reader
You knew that Kabu would be stressed today when he got home. You tried to text him asking him what would he want for dinner, and when he responded, you realized how dry his texts sounded, he’s definitely been dealing with some stress. And to be honest, you were dealing with some things too. 
You’ve been feeling nauseous and sick, you’ve been having fatigue, you put on a little weight, and the cherry on top, you’re missing your period. With all these symptoms, you knew you needed to get a pregnancy test. And of course, the test came out positive. 
With all the excitement and the nervousness of realizing you’re pregnant, you forgot about the pregnancy test in the bathroom. You wanted to distract yourself so you decided the best thing you could do was cook. You really liked cooking and besides, you could make something nice for Kabu, as a nice home-cooked dinner always lifts his mood.
You decided to make some vegetable casserole because that’s one of Kabu’s favorite recipes and is not easy to make, so you’ll have your mind occupied with something else. You got the butter, the garlic, and all the other vegetables needed, like potatoes and carrots. You began cooking as fast as you could because you wanted to have the dinner ready before Kabu got home, you wanted for him to get home and instantly relax at the sight of his favorite recipe served on the dinner table. 
Distracting yourself wasn’t as easy as you thought, you couldn’t stop worrying about how Kabu might react. You and him have never really talked about having children and you were getting pretty nervous because you thought he might not like the idea of having kids. This felt so dumb to you, but you felt so self-aware that you thought you could sense the baby in your tummy. Of course, you weren’t really ‘feeling the baby’, you were just too anxious and imagining things, but this really got your even more nervous. 
_
You opened the oven, you could smell the potatoes and the garlic on the casserole. All the steam coming out of the food just seemed to soothe you. You served it on plates and then put it on the dinner table. Kabu was going to be home at any moment now and you were freaking out. Trying to come up with ways to tell him that you were pregnant was getting you even more scared. You knew you shouldn’t be scared because Kabu is the sweetest man ever and would never force you to do something you didn’t want to do or just make you feel bad on purpose.
As you were in the middle of a crisis, you heard the door open. Kabu was home. You took a long deep breath and went to greet him. He seemed happy at the dinner and wanted to show it to you, so a sweet peck on the lips was a nice way to show his appreciation. 
“Thank you for the food, y/n” He smiled after the little kiss he gave you. You nervously smiled back and looked away. You couldn’t help but think he was going to get pissed at you, and looking at him made you imagine all sorts of scenarios that may happen. Even though you obviously knew that most if not all of the scenarios were definitely not going to happen.
“I’ll be right back,” He said going to the bathroom. You nodded and just sat at the table waiting for him to come back.
When he entered the bathroom, he noticed a stick thing next to the washbasin. He looked at it and let out a loud gasp when he realized what that was. He grabbed it and immediately rushed to where you were waiting for him. He looked at you and with a serious voice he asked:
“Is this a pregnancy test?”. When you heard this you knew you had to come clean. While you fidgeted with your fingers, you nodded looking down at your feet. But you weren’t waiting for what would come next. Kabu wrapped his arms around you, and he had the biggest smile you had ever seen him have.
“I’m going to be a father!” He exclaimed happily while holding you close. At that exact moment, you knew he was the man you wanted to spend your whole life with.

Lance Week 23, Day 5: Outfit Swap!
I'm back on my [Galar] bullshit again! I had a big brainwave when I remembered the tradition of football players swapping shirts after a match, and it was a great excuse to get Lance into that Motostoke fire-themed uniform. My original idea was to do a swap with Drake of the Hoenn E4, but you can probably already figure out where that energy was re-directed to!
