How about this: Leon has a nightmare of Eternatus killing his wife and Hop but he is woken up by her (his wife). Leon is crying, scared, lost and saddened because he thinks he couldn't protect either of them or his region. Things turn smutty when she comforts him, loves on him, making love to him and reassuring him. Comfort sex is the best and don't be afraid to write this as gentle and as loving (not rough) as you can, I feel like this is lacking in the Leon community and is so in-character for him. Please and thank you <3

Warning: NSFW-ish~ Warnings: The dream is maybe a lil bit graphic.. A/N: A friendly reminder, since I really hate my writings lately, english is NOT my first language. So please bare with my grammar *bows* Also a second side note, if nobody noticed yet: I REALLY SUCK AT WRITING SMUT. I LOVE IT OKAY BUT I HATE TO WRITE IT XD

It was around 2:00 am and Murkrows slowly made their way outside when they landed on top of a big and luxurious house. They settled in in their nest and cleaned their feathers with their bill. Suddenly a loud groan echoed through the open window and startled the Murkrows to fly away. Leon turned in his sleep uncomfortably, sweat dropped from his forehead and he had tears in his eyes.

Ever since he battled Eternatus he had recurring nightmares about this nightmare Pokemon. Of it destroying his hometown, killing his friends and Pokemon, but this nightmare hit different. The persons, he sees dying in this nightmare, were his family. To be more specific, he first saw Hop go up in flames . His screams and cries made Leon unable to move or react in his dream. All he could do was stretch out his arm, a helplessly try to reach for his brother before he disappeared in dust.

After this Eternatus rushed from his position in the air and opened its mouth to devour you, Leons beloved wife. "No!! Please!! Kill me instead, but please leave her alone!", Leon screamed in his dream, his tears falling when he had to see half of your body torn apart and eaten by this monster. "Y/N!!!!!!"

"Leon, it's fine. Please wake up, darling. I'm here.", your worried voice calmed his senses and a light and gentle tug at his shoulders made him open his eyes. His eyes were wide and teary, his mouth was dry from him shouting and groaning for hours in his sleep. His whole body shook from this nightmare and he looked down at his hands, seeing them still shaking. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to wake you up, sweetheart..", he mumbled apologetically and you hugged him tightly, because you knew too well what kind of nightmares haunted him lately. "It's fine. Really. It was.. an Eternatus related dream again, wasn't it?" you whispered, caressing his back soothingly to make his racing heart calm down and let his sobs soak in. All he could do was nod, since he didn't trusted his voice right now. For you, Leon always wanted to show you his strength. He wanted to be your 'tower of strength', someone you can rely on. Seeing him so vulnerable made you sad and you knew it pained him to show you his weakened side.

"You don't have to tell me, what happened. Buf if you need to talk about it, I'll-" "I saw Hop and you.. dying."

Your sentence stopped.

"I saw you dying in a grotesque way and felt so helpless. What if Eternatus escapes and attacks us again? I don't think I am able to defend the people I love.. to defend.. you.", his words made you sad, but you understood his fear. Eternatus was dangerous, there was no doubt about this fact. But you couldn't allow it to make you live in fear.

"Leon.", you spoke up, putting his face between your hands to make him look at you. "I understand how you feel. But don't worry. Eternatus can't escape. He is safe in the laboratory. Nothing bad will happen, you hear me?"

"Do you promise me, to let me protect you until my last breath?", he asked against your lips, his strong arms circling around your waist. You smiled at him and leaned in for a sweet and loving kiss. "I promise. And I promise that nothing in this world can do us apart. Not even death. And neither can Eternatus." "I love you.. so much.", Leon mumbled against your lips, his hands already mentally absent feeling your sides up and down. You kissed his chin, your own hands caressing his naked upper torso (Leon just sleeps in boxers) until you felt his nipples harden under your touch.

"I love you too. And I'll never leave your side.", you whispered back, chuckling lightly when Leon inhaled sharply because your fingers continued to tease his sensitive nipples. "You know what happens, when you tease me like that, don't you?", Leon warned, but you just smirked at him and pinched his nipples until he let out a soft moan. "Yeah, and you are responsible for waking me up. So.. it's just fair you help me fall back asleep right?", you purred and started to lick over his sternum.

Leon chuckled too and it seems he forgot his nightmare already. He stopped you from teasing his chest and pulled you over so you were straddling him. When you felt his bulge poking your butt, your smirk widened. "Ah, it seems someone's knocking~.", you teased and kissed his neck tenderly, before giving his skin a few nips and bites.

"Well, it's rude not to let him in, isn't it?", Leon teased back and started to massage your buttocks gently with both hands. Your hand travelled down to his clothed erection and gave him a few quick pumps. Leon groaned impatiently and squeezed your butt a bit rough for your teasing.

Things got quick now, his boxershorts and your slip were both discarded and thrown away carelessly while you grinded over his long member with your wet pussy without being penetrated. You both moaned in unison, holding onto each other und kissing passionately.

His hips moved on his own and meeting your grinding thrusts until his length grazed your clit with each thrust. "So impatient, love. Are you so needy feeling my walls clench your cock~?", you whispered in your most seductive tone and Leons cheeks heated up with a nice shade of red. He should be used to it now when it comes to dirty talk, but this sweet goofball managed to get embarassed everytime you two got hot and steamy.

"You're the one to talk, sweetheart. Why is your pussy already dripping? Admit it, you want me inside of you so badly.", he spoke after he got enough confidence to take you on in this dirty talk stuff.

You chuckled and took his member in your hand, rubbing it against your slick entrance and clit to moisten it for whats come. Your moans seemed to make him harder and when he finally slid it, you only felt bliss.

Leons thrusts were always slow at first. He was loving, caring and he made sure to waste no second to kiss you all over while he was moving inside of you. You put your legs around his torso and grabbed his shoulder to press him further against you and feel him hit your most sensitive spot.

"Oh god.. Leon.. right there.. Ah.. keep going and hit this place..", you moaned repeately as Leon obliged and tried to stay in this angle for a few times.

After some more thrusts, your lips left his, what made him whimper at the loss of feeling your warm lips. You chuckled and repositioned a little, so you were now riding him. You put your hand on his chest and moved up and down, moaning his name like a chant.

Leon saw your perfect breasts bouncing and he grabbed one of them with his hand, while his other assaulted your clit with rough and fast rubs while his hips thrusted upwards. "I can't take much anymore.. I am so close..", you panted, throwing your head back and screamed his name, while waves of lust invaded your body. Your vision got white and you swore you saw some stars, when you felt Leons hot semen while he came with you.

You collapsed ontop of him and buried your sweaty face in his neck, catching your breath. Leon embraced you in a sweet and gentle hug and kissed your forehead.

"I hope that helped you to fall asleep again?", he asked with a smile. You smiled back and caressed his cheek.

"I'm afraid I need another round of this work out. The first never works.", you chimed, making Leon laugh whole-heartedly while he kissed you again.

"Alright, just give me a few minutes, love."

[champion-leon-imagines]

Yo, your Leon's the best! I was hoping you could write the following: Leon and his wife have some sweet and soft tender Thank God You're Alive Sex after the Darkest Day happened and she had almost died after being attacked by Eternatus. The doctors told Leon she wasn't gonna make it for good measure, so to say he's relieved and overjoyed is an understatement.

Please and thank you! <3

(Thank you so much for your kind words - and those from AO3. I will give a lil warning beforehand. It's been quite some while I wrote something in english and I may be rusty. So I apologize for any mistakes or strange sentences. Also a warning for mild nsfw. I tried to make it as softcore.)

He'd never thought that day would actually come, after all doctors already gave up on you ever waking up again. Eternatus hit you with his strongest attack, Eternabeam. Though, your Pokemon were able to parry most of it's power with barrier and Light Screen, but the impact was too strong.

Leon felt guilty and helpless. How could he let you be in such a danger and when you were at the verge of death, all he was able to do was cry and pray for your life. Thankfully, Arceus seemed to granted him his biggest wish, because one day, he got a call from the doctor.

Your condition got better until you could even walk and eat properly again. They said, your fighting will matched Leons will during battles and that's why you recovered so quickly and made you leave the hospital a few days after you woke up from your coma.

Of course, your friends were infront of the building to get you. Next to Leon was his brother Hop, who cried tears of joys that his sister-in-law was back at good health and even Sonia ignored her work and waited for you. But you couldn't care less to see them when your eyes fell at that bulky chunk of teddy-bear-like statue, who seemed to sob und almost stumbled over his own feet when he made his way over to you to get you into a big and gentle hug.

Leon was careful not to hurt you, but still managed to show you how much he missed and feared to loose you. "Thank Arceus.. I thought I would never have you in my arms again Y/n.. I thought I lost you forever..", Leon mumbled in your ear, his scent enveloped you like a blanket and you took a deep breath and inhaled this familiar scent. You missed him as much as he missed you and you couldn't be more happy..

After Hop and Sonia accompanied you and Leon to your shared home, they bid you goodbye to leave you alone with your worrywart husband who constantly apologized for what happened to you. "Leon, darling. Please stop to blame you for what happened. It was my own decision to help you out there with Eternatus. There is nothing I regret, you hear?", you whispered, trying to calm this poor mans heart down. Leon refused to let you go ever since he hugged you and held your hand close to his heart. "I know.. But.. I still feel guilty.."

"Mhm.. If you really feel guilty, I may know a way you feel better. Plus, it would make both of us feel way better.", you started and looked at him. Leons gaze was puzzled for a moment, until he realizes the passionate look in your eyes and started to heat up. "We have so much to catch up.."

No more words were spoken after this, when you felt his warm lips upon yours. Leons kisses were always special. They melt you in mere seconds and you felt his pure love from the way he was holding and kissing you.

He had no trouble to pick you up while he doesn't broke the kiss while he slowly made his way towards your shared bedroom.

Within the next minute, you laid on the mattress with Leon hovering over you and kissing your neck, while one of his calloused hands fondled your left breast.

A moan escaped your lips when he found your weak spot and startet to suck and nibble on it until your skin was red and swollen from his lips and teeth. Your own hands wandered up his broad torso and tucked at his jersey, trying to get it off from him. Leon stopped for a moment and leaned back to slowly undress his jersey.

You licked your lips when you saw his abs and caressed his stomach up to his chest, before Leon bent down again and captured your lips in a passionate and needy kiss.

It always started like this. He was so gentle and shy at first, but after his desires took over his instincts, he became rougher and you felt his errection between your legs. You started to grind against his bulge until he let out a masculine growl. His sounds and touches made you so hot that you felt getting wet already.

Leon wasted no time in getting rid of your clothes and soon enough you both were just one last fabric of your underwear. His hips grinded against your clothed sex until you mewled in impatience. He just knew how to get you desperate and you had the feeling he loved being in control.. "Leon..", your voice was slightly hoarse from lust and also a little warning. Like you were about to scold him. He hums in response, licking and nibbling at your earlobe, while his finger drew circles around your clit under your panties. When his hand disappeared in them? Hell, you already forgot. "Yes?", he asked ever so innocently, kissing his way from your ear to your cheek and finally pecks your lips, because he inserted a finger into your wetness. You gasped and moaned at the feeling, it felt like an eternity since you had felt each other in that way. Your hips moved against his rhythm to get more friction but it was not enough. "Stop teasing me, love.. I need you inside of me. Now.", you spoke, almost in a low and pleading voice. How was he able to deny you that when you were so irrestistible? "You want the Champ time already? I hoped we could have a lil more foreplay after such a long time.." Leon whined, but chuckled when you gave him a soft slap on his chest. "We can do this after you fuck me hard. So.. please?" "How could I say no to that cute face?", Leon smiled and bent down to give you a long and loving kiss, before his finger retreated and you felt something big entering you..

The following hours were filled with cries and moans of each other names and you were pretty sore the next days (but not too sore to repeat this night the following days.)

Chronicles of Galar - Chapter 3: A loss & Gain of trust

This chapter is kinda sad at first. As a warning, a minor (and non-canon) character death that hit you hard and you don’t know what to do.. then you meet Leon and everything changes. Your level of friendship increases and he gives you comfort in a way, no other person would ever be able to give you. Comfort!Fluff.

"[Y/n]..", Cynthia's voice was sad and battered and that alerted you directly. Cynthia rarely called, and only when it was important or bad news. Her pitched voice suggested the worst. "I hate to have to say something like that over the phone .. ... Grandmother died .."

Your eyes widened and tears began to run down your cheeks. You had expected all sorts of things, but this news threw you completely off the mark.

"W-what ..? W-How ..? She was very healthy and not yet that old .. ", you mumbled sadly and clutched your smartphone tightly while more tears ran down your face. Professor Carolina, the village elder of Celestic Town and grandmother of Cynthia, was like a mother to you. Carolina had cared for you since the beginning of your trainer career. Since you lived in Sinnoh for several years and lived with her, the two of you cultivated such an intimate and harmonious relationship. Her death news had torn the ground from under your feet.

"She had a heart attack .. Caused by an allergic reaction after she had been exposed to the poison of an aggressive Roserade .. Roserades release a special toxin that has so far remained undiscovered by researchers, as they only eliminate it when they are really feel cornered and have to protect their offspring .. Grandmother had found a nest and wanted to study it from a safe distance, but one of the Roserades has lost its nerve. She fought for survival in the hospital for days, but .. ", Cynthia said and could no longer speak through her own tears .

"For days ...? And you call me NOW ..? Cynthia, I would have left everything and gone to Sinnoh .. "

"I didn't wanted to ruin your adventure in Galar. None of us expected that Grandmother ... would not survive .. The doctors also said at first that she was recovering nicely, but then her condition deteriorated so rapidly .... And then I was just too occupied and sad that I forgot to call you earlier. I am so sorry.."

You felt terrible. Not only because of the loss, but also because you screamed at Cynthia like this for not letting you know sooner. "Don't apologize .. I'm sorry if I sounded harsh .. I .. can't believe it .." you mumbled sadly and wiped your face.

"We all feel that way in Celestia Town.. Believe me .. The .. funeral is next week .. on Wednesday ... Are .. are you coming ..? "

"Of course I'll come .. Cynthia, thanks for everything you've done for me. I'll never forget Carolina .. I'll see you on Wednesday .. I love you, big sister, okay ..? "

"I love you too, little sister .. take good care of yourself."

With these words, Cynthia hung up and you dropped to your knees to completely give in to your emotions. You were crying so loud that your brother and his fiancée ran from the study straight to your room and wanted to know what was going on.

It wasn't long before you felt overwhelmed by the comforting hugs and words of your real family. You gently pushed the two of them away and stood up. "Sorry .. But I would like to be alone for a moment .. I'll go for a walk ..", you said and walked to the door.

"Now..? Do you took a look outside? It's raining cats and dogs. Take an umbrella with you at least. ", Aki said , worried and crossed her arms.

"I don't mind .. It's just water .. I'll .. I'll come back later, okay ..?", You smiled sadly and raised your hand to say goodbye before you just stormed out into the rain. Aki shook her head and collapsed onto the hotel couch. You and them currently stayed in Motostoke.

“I never realized how close the relationship was between her and Professor Carolina. Her death hits her as hard as if a family member had died. ", Aki said quietly.

"She was a family member for her." Mamoru began sadly. “When [Y/n] lived in Sinnoh after our parents started to argue daily, the professor behaved like a mother to her. She raised [Y/n] without hesitation, and became more or less like a little sister to Cynthia. Professor Carolina was the caring mother, our mother couldn't be at that time. So I understand that her death takes [Y/n] with it ... ", he explained.

"Shouldn't we then follow her and be there for her?", Aki insisted. Mamoru shook his head slightly.

"No. She said she wants to be alone. My sister is strong. She won't do anything stupid. Let's give her some time. And when she has recovered, she will come back and then we can still be there for her. ", he smiled confidently.

"If she hasn't caught pneumonia by then.", Aki sighed slightly. Mamoru smiled sadly.

“Then we mustn't blame her. This is what she needs least of all at the moment. "

You ran around aimlessly in the rain for a few minutes until you lost your strength and sat down on a wet bench. Your clothes were soaked and your hair was stuck to your face so that you could barely see anything. But you didn't really care about that at the moment. You pulled back your knees and put your arms around them as you leaned your head on your drawn knees and sobbed softly into them. You couldn't even say goodbye to Carolina .. You wanted to tell her so much, show her so much .. So many things were unsaid .. For example, how grateful you were that she welcomed you so warmly .. How much you appreciated you had learned and how much you  loved to bake Christmas cookies with her one last time .. that was all over now. That thought just didn't go into your head.

Minutes passed. The minutes turned into hours and the rain just wouldn't stop. It was like the heaven cried for her too. Not that it helped in any way, because your own tears just wouldn't stop. At some point you could only hear the rain, but the droplets didn't seem to hit you anymore.

'Have my senses become so numb that I can no longer feel the rain on me ..?' You thought bitterly and then looked up. You blinked perplexed when a red cape was stretched over you. You saw Leon, who was holding his big cape over him and you and protecting both of you from the rain.

"You didn't choose a good day to sit out here." Leon laughed slightly until he saw that it wasn't just rainwater that had moistened your face. Your gloomy eyes made his smile fade and he held the cape over you more generously. "Did you .. cry ..?" He asked quietly. Normally you would have been happy to meet him here, but under the current circumstances, you couldn't utter a single word. Instead, you bit your lip to hold back more tears. Unsuccessful as it seemed, because more tears ran down your cheeks again and made you sob softly in response.

Leon seemed a little overwhelmed. How should he behave now? Nobody has ever cried in front of them, especially not a woman. The purple-haired man looked around for help until he noticed that his hotel was not far from here. "You don't have to speak right now, but we should get dry first, don't you think so?" He smiled and you nodded slightly when you got up. Then, under the protection of his cape, you ran to the hotel. As he entered, Leon called the receptionist to bring fresh clothes and a towel to his room. And a hot tea. You two went to an elevator and drove to the floor where his room was.

Once there, Leon took the towel and rubbed your hair dry. Then there was a knock on the door and the room service had brought a sleeping gown that you could slip into for the time being. Leon gratefully accepted the  gown and handed it to you.

“I'm going to have a look after the tea. So you can change in peace. ", He smiled and patted your head lightly before he got up and left the room. You looked after him slightly. The tears finally stopped, but you still felt miserable. Although another emotion was budded in your heart. A warm, pleasant feeling.. You were glad that someone was looking after you at the moment .. and he was so thoughtful.

A few minutes passed before there was a knock on the door. "It's me," Leon called. "Can I come in?" He asked, not wanting to burst in while you were changing. You thanked him very much for his courteous manner.

"Y-yes. I've already finished dressing. ", You said a little broken. The door opened and Leon held a small tray with the tea on it. He saw you on the hotel bed. The towel around your shoulders and in the hotel's white night gown. He smiled a little, because you didn't seem so exhausted anymore. After placing the tray on the bedside table, he sat down next to you.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Terrible .." you replied quietly. "But better than before," you added after seeing Leon a little worried.

"Would you like to talk now about what happened?" He asked further, looking at you.

"... The woman who practically raised me ... and was like a mother to me ... died." You wiped away the new tears and sobbed softly. "She was such a wonderful person .. Why did she have to die so early .."

Leon was silent for a moment and then looked sadly at the floor. His hands clenched into a fist and he didn't even know how to react.

"Professor Carolina ..?" Leon didn't even had to guess, since he already knew a lot about your past. You nodded sadly and Leon's face grew sadder. "I'm really sorry about that .. My deepest condolences .." he said sadly.

"Thanks ..", you mumbled and hugged yourself, trying to find some warmth.

"If I can do anything for you .. Tell me.", He offered you and you looked next to you. You swallowed lightly and sighed.

"Can you .. just hug me ..?" You asked softly. Leon blinked slightly. Although you had met a few times, both of you hardly had any physical contact so far. Except for a short, half-hearted hug as a greeting. This time it was different.

"Of course," he replied immediately and put his arms around your trembling body to pull you close. You buried your face right in his jersey and wrapped your arms around his stomach.

"Thank you ..", you whispered softly and muffled when you felt how he caressed your back soothingly.

"Don't mention it." he said and hugged you to give you the greatest possible comfort. You and Leon lingered in that embrace in silence. Your sobs grew quieter and your breathing became calmer. At some point the purple-haired man noticed that your eyes were closed. You must have fallen asleep. Leon smiled a little and laid you on the bed properly before covering you and caressing your cheek. Then he looked at his smartphone, which was about to remind him of an appointment. He got up and wanted to go when he noticed how you grabbed his hand and prevented him from going. "[Y/n] ..?"

"Please don't go now .. I .. don't want to .. be .. alone ..", you stuttered with half-open eyes. Your [e/c] irises shone from all the weeping and Leon looked at you desperately. He thought about his appointment and sighed. Then he put his other hand on top of yours and smiled.

"Alright. I'll stay with you. ", He said and sat down on the bed again. You smiled gratefully and pressed his hand to your cheek.

"Thank you ...", you mumbled softly and then held up your other hand, asking that he lay down next to you. Leon smiled and lay down next to you to pull you into his arms and hug you. You both looked at each other for a while before closing your eyes and falling asleep.

On the next morning, Leon's voice woke you up. He didn't sounded angry, but a little louder than usual. And he seemed to be talking to someone. You opened your eyes and blinked when you saw Leon pacing up and down the room.

“I told you Oleana. I couldn't meet with President Rose on this appointment because there was an emergency. ... a private emergency. No, it didn't concern me personally, but ... ... Now please listen to me. ", Leon sighed and rubbed his face in annoyance. You just couldn't talk sensibly to this woman. “Of course, I am aware of the consequences if I fail to keep important appointments for no good reason. But the reason was important to me. And I don't care if you see it any other way. … Yes, then tell President Rose that we will postpone the appointment until next week. ”He hung up and sighed deeply again. "I wouldn't want to work with this woman .." he mumbled quietly and turned around. He saw that you were awake and looked at him in shock. "Oh..“

"You had an appointment with President Rose yesterday ...?" You asked and Leon averted his gaze guiltily. "Why did not you say anything..? I wouldn't have held you here if I had known that you had an important appointment .. ", You said ashamed and straightened up.

"You needed someone.", Was his only answer when he looked at you again. His words only made you more shocked.

"You had put my well-being over your appointments ..?", You asked incredulously and put your hand over your mouth. Leon smiled and walked towards you when he put his big hand over your head.

"Of course. I can always make up or postpone appointments. But you cannot control your feelings. That's why .. it was more important to me to be there for you than to give Rose another stupid interview about why I'm the unbeatable champion. ", He said with a charming smile.

You felt like you were about to start crying again. This time, however, not from grief. The warmth of this man simply took in every fiber of your body and you literally threw yourself into his arms after these words. Leon blinked in astonishment before putting his arms around you and hugging you again as you buried your nose in his neck.

"I-I'm sorry, only because of me...Because of me your schedule got messed up .. I'll make it up to you, I promise," You said quietly. Leon laughed softly before pulling away a little and caressing your cheek.

“If you want to make it up, then .. I know of a small, cozy ice cream parlor. That serves the BEST Alcremie sundae in Galar. How does that sound? ”He asked and winked. You smiled and your grief was almost forgotten for that moment.

"Sounds good."

Since that day the friendship of you had reached a new, more intimate level.

Chronicles of Galar - Chapter 2 Part 2: A little adventure with Leon

Here is the Leon-fluffy part of the chapter. Because now that you want to show him Alola, many funny stuff awaits you. And even manages to bring you to closer to the handsome champion.

For the rest of the flight was a pleasant and exuberant mood, while you two talked about all kinds of things. You learned more about the local Pokemon and Leon has already been educated a little about the customs in Alola. In fact, you were so absorbed in your conversations that you didn't even notice that the Corviknight taxi had already landed. It was only when the taxi driver knocked on the window of the gondola when both of you noticed that they were no longer in the air.

"Huh? Are we there yet? ", You asked astonished and blinked. You took out your smartphone to check the time. Indeed. The flight started 4 hours and 13 minutes ago. "Time passed by in a flash, Haha.", Leon smiled and got out of the gondola to offer you his hand. You let him pull you out of the somewhat high vehicle and you both thanked the taxi driver. “If you want to go back to Galar, here in Alola, Charizard will be used for transportation. However, if you are interested in the Corviknight taxi, just let us know and we will send a taxi to you. However, you have to calculate the flight time there too, ”the older man explained.

“Haha, thank you, we'll be happy to take the Corviknight taxi again. As someone who owns a charizard, I do not want to make these wonderful creatures have to carry someone like me. Especially over this distance. ", Leon laughed and waved him off. The taxi driver nodded and said goodbye to both of you as he took the taxi back to Galar. "So .. We are now in Alola. And what do we do now? “, The purple-haired male wanted to know and curiously put his hands on his hips. He was curious to find out what his spontaneous kidnapper had planned for the two of them.

“Well, first of all we have to get Alola ready. We sweat ourselves to death with our clothes on at these temperatures. Unfortunately, I left my Alola Vulpix with father in the laboratory, which could refresh us with its ice. ", You mused. "I could offer Mr. Rime," Leon suggested with a smile. You giggled lightly, then waved your hand. “I don't think that will be necessary. We will find out why. Now let's pay a visit to Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet first. ", You said and you made your way through Hau'oli City to the Pokemon Laboratory.

It was a very tranquil island with a very exotic flora that Leon only knew from books. Most of the Pokemon, such as the rock Pokemon Rockruff, he had never seen before.

Your gaze fluctuated to her companion from time to time, as he often turned around his heel in astonishment and let out an 'Ah' and 'Oh' every now and then, which caused you to laugh softly. “You can be impressed quite quickly, right? After all, Galar has a beautiful piece of nature too with his Wild Area. ", You teased him and pushed your elbow gently into the side of the sturdy man. Leon laughed embarrassed and scratched his cheek. "Yes, but it's kind of .. different. This sea air is so refreshing and all the new Pokemon .. I feel like I'm 10 again and have just started my journey, "he then admitted with a laugh. "That makes me happy. To be honest, I felt the same way when I first visited this region. Alola is just beautiful. “, You agreed happily and the two looked at each other briefly in the eyes with a satisfied smile before you arrived at the laboratory. Kukui sat there with his wife and his now 2-year-old son, Kemiri *. Kemiri played with two Rockruffs and had his face licked with a giggle. Burnet was basking in the sun and seemed to be dozing, for she was oblivious to the visitors. Only Kukui blinked and then looked up. "Oh? We have visitors. “, He said and woke up his wife Burnet. The white-haired professor took off her sunglasses and looked at the two young people before smiling and standing up. "[Y/n] ..?! How nice that you are coming to visit us! And you grew up, child. ", Burnet began and ran up to you to hold you close like a worried mother. "Um .. I was here when I was 18 .. I haven't grown anymore.", You sighed softly and returned the sweeping embrace. "Of course you can! I can clearly see your maturity, as if you had used Growth several times. You've been around a lot since you've been here, haven't you? ", Kukui then remarked when his wife finally let go of you. "I guess I have.", You smiled and then leaned down to the little Kemiri. “Your little one is cute too. I haven't even seen him yet. As far as I can remember, you were in the second month when I left, right? Is he talking already? ", You wanted to know. "Yes! He can already say  dad! Come on, Kemiri! Say it !! ”, Kukui grinned and proudly lifted his son. The little boy just blinked several times and looked around. "... You know that you can do it ..Say daddy ..", Kukui tried again. His answer was again embarrassed silence until you began to giggle. "He can do it, I swear ..!"

"I believe you.", You laughed and didn't notice at first that you hadn't even introduced your companion. Burnet got ahead of you, however. She looked Leon up and down, which was no wonder considering his strange outfit.

“And what a handsome boy you brought with you. You have my respect. Are you here on your honeymoon? ", The white-haired woman asked with a grin. The young couple blushed again, not alone because someone had mistaken this trip for your honeymoon again. "N-No, that's very different. Um, we're not a couple. This is Leon. He is the champion of Galar. Professor, you ought to know him. You were at the last WorldChampion Cup, weren't you? “, you asked perplexed. "... There is a World Champion Cup?"

You put your hand over your face. That was just so typical of Kukui .. ".. Hahaha. I was just joking. I heard from you, Leon. They say you haven't been defeated once in your region for 10 years, ”Kukui said and shook hands with Leon. Leon smiled and gladly accepted the gesture of greeting. "That's correct. And are you a part-time champion? That is remarkable. “, He praised the older man. “Oh, we don't have that many children who do Island Challenges. That's why my dear husband has a lot of time to pursue his stupid hobbies. ", Burnet waved off with a grin. "Stupid hobbies?" Leon blinked. "For example, as a masked wrestler in Battle Royale ...", Burnet added. “Harsh words for someone who hugs posters and large cuddly pillows with the masked wrestler's faces. You're the biggest fan of 'Mask Royale'. ", You winked and Kukui looked surprised at his wife, who was now sunken in shame. "H-How do you know that ..?" Burnet wanted to know. “You told me yourself when we had a drink with Selene *, Olivia and Mallow in a bar before my league match. You were so tipsy that you trumpeted in front of everyone in the bar that you wanted to marry Mask Royale. And as we know, you have that too in the end. ", You added, whereupon Kukui had to laugh. "Oh, I see. I didn't even know that my wife is my biggest fan too. ", He teased her and Burnet rolled her eyes briefly, but then had to laugh too. “You are sure to be hungry when you come from Galar. Join us for lunch and enjoy a delicious Malasada with us. "

"Mala-what?" Leon asked.

“Oh, you will definitely like it! It's a delicious dessert and Alola's specialty! ", You said and dragged your companion into Kukuis home.

You talked at the dining table while you ate the desserts. Among other things, Kukui and Burnet also learned how this "spontaneous vacation" had come about and immediately had to laugh again. “So, you're still so impulsive and spontaneous. You even went out to free the Vulpix from Team Skull's clutches back then , even though you only had Popplio with you. That was very risky and you had to listen to a proper sermon from Hala after he had praised you for your courage. ", Kukui thought. "Your Vulpix was captured by an evil organization?" Leon asked. He remembered how afraid it was of him when they first met in the Slumbering Weald.“That explains its behavior towards Charizard and me. What happened to the poor thing? ”He wanted to know. “When Selene and I visited Paniola Town, because I wanted to see the Paniola Ranch, we overheard a Vulpix being followed by a group of thugs. It looked very battered and to be honest .. also hurt. Because it dragged one of its hind legs afterwards .. “, while telling the story it became quiter at the table and Leon also stiffened a bit. How could humans do such bad things to Pokemon? He just didn't get it. “We followed the guys unobtrusively until they cornered the Vulpix. They just wanted to paralyze it with their poison pokemon and get ready so that it no longer struggled. Then I intervened. " "I would have intervened as well .. did you threw Popplios Pokeball at them?" Leon asked. "No .. I think my thinking mechanism must have stopped at the time, because I threw myself in front of Vulpix and took a Venoshock attack that targeted Vulpix."

"I BEG YOUR PARDON?! Do you realize that poison attacks can also be fatal for humans? ", Leon's question was a bit loud at first, but of course he understood that you only wanted to protect the Vulpix. He would probably have acted exactly the same in such a situation. "I told you, my brain switched itself off when my feet started moving .. I also didn't notice much what happened afterwards, because everything went black. I got so dizzy and I must have lost my consciousness from the poison .. ", you continued. Kukui then cleared his throat to get attention. “Selene contacted me. We, Hala and I, made our way to them. After [Y/n] was hit by the attack, the Team Skull members had fled because they thought that a murder trial was about to begin. They thought she was dead. After Selene told us [Y/N] had been hit by a Venoshock attack, I asked my wife to get an antidote elixir from Mallow. Mallow is an island captain in Alola, who is responsible for examining people on their island challenge. You can compare her with a gym leader. In any case, Mallow is experienced with herbal Pokemon and can make medicines from many herbs. Of course, also against Pokemon poisons that have affected humans. We arrived in time to give [Y/n] the antidote.“ “When I woke up, I was in a small room in Paniola Town where Kukui had taken me. You can imagine that I had to listen to how inconsiderate it was. ", You smiled. “It was. But .. you did it for a Pokemon. Just .. don't try to jeopardize your life so carelessly in the future, okay? ”Leon scolded you calmly. "I'll try.", You laughed defensively and raised both hands. “But enough talked about old stuff. After lunch, we'll stock up on beach clothes from the boutique and go to the beach for Mantine surfing, ”you said then. "Mantine surfing?", Now Leon was curious and grateful about the change of subject. “One of the biggest attractions in Alola. It's so much fun, you'll see! ”You promised him. Kukui and Burnet watched the couple in silence, then giggled at each other. "I bet 3000 poke dollars that they're married until next year." Burnet grinned. "Deal."

"Did you say something, Professor?" You asked. "No everything is fine. We hope you enjoy surfing. You're lucky, the weather today is perfect for some big waves. ", Kukui grinned and gave a thumbs up. After lunch, Leon and you thanked them for the hospitality and said goodbye to the permanently grinning professor couple as you made your way to the boutique to dress appropriately for the water adventure.

After you provided yourself with swimwear, a large beach blanket, a parasol, an inflatable beach volleyball, snorkel and fins for diving, as well as a neoprene suit for maximum safety when Mantine surfing, you could finally go to the beach. Leon was eager to plunge into the waters. In fact, he hadn't been that relaxed in years, as Rose kept sending him from one appointment to the next. There wasn't much time for relaxing and have some free time, which is why he became more and more grateful to you and his mood was also much happier than usual.

When you got to the beach, you set up a nice place for yourselves with the parasol and the large blanket, with a good view of the wide sea. Leon set up the parasol while you put a picnic basket on the blanket with small sandwiches and drinks that you had previously prepared with Burnet. Yes, today both of you were allowed to have a good time.

However, you had to admit relatively quickly that you couldn't really concentrate on explaining Mantine surfing to Leon when you stood with him in front of the Mantine rental. Due to his physique, you were already aware that he had to have a six-pack, but seeing so much bare skin through his swim shorts was different than simply relying on your imagination and just guessing how he would look underneath his clothes. His muscular chest shone in the sun, and his abdominal muscles twitched slightly when he stretched to warm up. Leon noticed your look at some point and blinked. "Uhm, weren't you about to explain to me what you have to watch out for while surfing?" He began, waking you out of your trance. You blinked several times and felt caught. You had stared at him longer than you wanted ... Leon was definitely a very handsome man and his personality was in no way inferior to his looks ... "Err .. Yeah, I'm sorry. Surfing itself is less of a normal sport here in Alola. It's art. Because you can perform various tricks on the Mantine while you ride the waves and avoid obstacles like buoys or wild water pokemon. ”, You explained, after you cleared your throat. "Mhm, but Mantine are not exactly big and strong. I guess this sport seems to be more suited towards kids and slim women. The Mantine would carry you with ease. But me .. ”, Leon stopped you and crossed his arms. "Ah, don't worry about that, buddy.", the man from the mental station interrupted him. - You already prepared Leon on the flight that Alola villagers speak to strangers in a friendly manner and call them buddy as it was normal. You were formal with Kukui though, although of course he had offered you being less formal too, but you were just too polite for that. After all, he was still a Pokemon professor. “Of course, we also have bred Mantine in all sizes. We crossed the Mantine with Wailord to breed larger specimens. And with success. Just take a look at this darling here .. ”, the lender began and showed you a male Mantine with a diameter of about five and a half meters. "Woah ?! It's gigantic compared to normal Mantine! ”Leon breathed in amazement and stepped closer to the water. "May I touch it?" He asked like a child in a petting zoo. "Go ahead, the Mantine are all tamed, otherwise you could hardly ride them.", the lender nodded and you had to giggle again at Leon's manner. This man was really unique. He looked beefy and strong, but had the disposition of a large teddy bear. You thought it was a good mix. Leon knelt over the railing to the Pokemon and held out his hand. The Mantine sniffed at him and then greeted the purple-haired man with a shout. "Maaan." “That would be your Mantine when you're here for surfing. Of course I have a smaller one for the petite young lady. ”, The lender explained and got another Mantine, a female that was about two meters long. "That makes 500 poke dollars for an hour." "Understood. We would like two hours, please. I'll pay. ", You said and got your wallet, which you had taken with you. "And then I would like a few more berries for the Mantine."

"Alright. You really like Sitrus Berry . "

"Then I would like a bag full of Sitrus Berrys ."

Leon let you pay involuntarily, because it was your idea and he had to admit to his shame that he hadn't taken any money with him. After all, it was a spontaneous trip and Leon had nothing with him except his Pokemon. Now that all formalities had been clarified, it was finally time to go into the refreshing water to see the Pokemon. Before that, the two of you had to put on your neoprene suits over your bathing suits, because such a wave ride also resulted in unintentional immersion in the waves and the neoprene protected you from the cold of icy currents from the northern parts of Alola that could find their ways to all islands. You were the first to get into the water because you showed Leon how to sit on the Mantine properly. “You can sit, kneel or stand, whichever is most comfortable for you. Though you have more control over your balance to make it clear to the Mantine in which direction it should turn, when you are standing.“ you explained and decided on a standing position when you took the reins of the saddle in your hand. “We shouldn't swim too far from the beach. It's best to only take the smaller waves. Especially since it's your first time too. ", You commented. "Not for you?" Leon asked, trying to take a standing position as well. Unfortunately, it was easier thought than done and the big, strong man stumbled on the Mantine to both sides until he lost his balance and fell into the water. "No. When I was here I rode the waves on Mantine almost every day. It's also the most effective way to get from one island to the next. Alola consists of four main islands and countless uninhabited secondary islands. ”, You explained and suppressed a giggle at Leon's clumsiness. The purple-haired man emerged and spat out the salt water before attempting to mount the Mantine again. "You love water, am I right?" He asked with a smile and tried to keep his balance in a sitting position. That seemed to work better. "Maybe. Even as a child, I loved swimming. My mother never got me out of the bathtub because I could have just kept splashing for hours, ”You admitted with a laugh. “When I was with Cynthia, we dived in front of Sootopolis City for the first time when we were in Hoenn. That was an awesome experience. “, You smiled and reminisced. "And despite this love you didn't become a pure water trainer?", Leon smiled and patted the Mantine after he had found a good balance. "Well, my signature Pokemon has water as its second type, does that count?" You replied with a grin and Leon laughed slightly. "I think that's okay.", He joked and the Mantines started moving towards the first wave.

“There is already the first one! Hold on tight and don't try to play cool. ", You warned him and slightly repositioned yourself on Mantine to maneuver it to the wave. The Mantine seemed to understand what his rider wanted from him and began to swim to the current of the wave. Once there, it held one of its huge flippers in the current in order to have a safe position itself and to be carried by the wave. "Woah ..! I'm afraid I'm a little rusty after all .. ", You added, as you lost your footing due to the movements of Mantine. You tried to pull your body onto Mantine with all your strength, while your lower body was already in the freezing waters. "Hey, everything o-" Leon began, leaning to the side for a better look. What turned out to be a treacherous beginner mistake among surfers. "No, don-", too late for your call, because the next wave surprised Leon's mantine and due to the collision with the masses of water, he fell into the water too. "Leon ..!" You shouted, worried and let go of your Mantine so you could dive for Leon. Before you could take a breath and go under the water, however, Leon emerged in front of you, coughing slightly. "Is that also part of the instruction, Ms. Teacher?" He asked jokingly and you gave him a mindless look before you sighed in relief and had to laugh a little. “Well, that's a water sport. And if you haven't fallen off the surfboard at least 100 times while surfing, you've never really practiced the sport, haven't you? ”You smiled and the two of you floated in the sea, laughing. "Where are the Mantines?", Leon then asked and you looked around. "...Damn."

There was no longer a trace of the Mantine to be seen and  Melemele Island  could no longer be seen. The waves must have carried you further out than you had noticed. "Didn't the lender gave you a whistle with which you can call the Mantine in case they get lost on the way?", Leon remembered. You nodded and grabbed your neck, where you wore the whistle around your neck under your suit.

...

"Shit .. I must have lost it when I jumped after you ..", You sighed in frustration. "And now? We don't have our Rotom smartphones with us either and we can't make ourselves noticeable. And we shouldn't stay here too long either. Wild Sharpedos also attack humans because they think they are their prey. ", Leon then explained. "Wait!! We always have our pokeballs with us. The neoprene suits have brackets for the poke balls! Do you have a water pokemon? ”, You then asked. “Yes, Inteleon. The final stage of the water starter from our region. But I'm afraid he won't be able to carry us both back. ", Leon answered thoughtfully. “He doesn't need to carry us! Get Inteleon out of his Pokeball! ”You ordered. Leon nodded slightly and grabbed the pokeball as he freed the large lizard pokemon from its prison, which minimized it in data. "So what now?" He wanted to know. You smiled and picked up a red Love ball. "Now just watch.", You said and took the Pokemon out of the ball. It was a beautiful mermaid-like Pokemon, which had features of a seal and a human woman. Her long blue hair was parted with pearl necklaces and her little red nose was vaguely reminiscent of a clown. "What kind of Pokemon is that? It's ... beautiful, "Leon commented curiously and Inteleon also uttered a few calls of approval when it saw the unknown Pokemon. “That is the signature Pokemon I told you about. Primarina. Primarina, that's Leon and Inteleon. ”, You then introduced your Primarina to the others. “We'll have time to get to know each other later. Primarina, can you use Sparkling Aria  among us and - "

"Wait a minute, doesn't that attack heat the water until it boils?" Leon interruped you, shocked. “Now wait, that's exactly why we need your Inteleon for! It's supposed to keep the foam away from us with a combo of Snipe Shot  and Soak. When Primarinas attack heats the waves, they evaporate into the air. The waves pull the steam up so high that it should be seen from the coast - and maybe even as far as the Pokemon Laboratory. Do you know a better SOS signal in our situation? ", You explained your plan and Leon shook his head slightly. “You see! So you two, are you doing us this favor? "

“Water vapor is transparent. I don't think you can see that from a distance ... ”Leon mused as he went through the plan again in his mind. You started to grin. “That's why Primarina then uses Fairy Wind on the steam. This is a fairy attack that gives the water vapor a pink glow. With that they can definitely see us. ", You said and Primarina nodded before she started to use the attacks. With Soak, the boiling hot water flowed around both of you and your Pokemon while the Snipe Shot changed the flow. Inteleon shot into the waves, creating a kind of flow of energy with which the Sparkling Aria could flow up the wave and heat itself to the boiling point. As a result, the salt water evaporated within seconds and when the steam rose, Primarina breathed in a Fairy Wind, which laid a pink veil over the water vapor and it actually shone in the sky.

Leon opened his mouth. It was almost as overwhelming as a gigantamax and he could only watch in amazement as the steam rose higher and higher and spread over them like a blanket of clouds. "If we don't attract attention now, then I don't know either." He laughed and You patted Primarina and Inteleon to praise them for their attacks. "I know? You both did really great. ", You said and Leon swam to you to pet the Pokemon as well and to express his praise.

About 20 minutes later, a motorboat drove to your direction. You were holding onto Primarina afloat and Leon holding onto Inteleon when Kukui and two Coast Guard men picked you up. On board, you told them what had happened and that you had lost the two Mantine. “Ah, I spoke to the manager. Today, there was probably an apprentice at the rental who did not yet know that the two Mantine that were given to you were in their mating season. All Mantine migrate north to the unmanned islands while mating. Because they can raise their younglings there in peace. In order to prevent the breeding Mantine from disappearing, they are placed in a breeding tank. These two shouldn't have been accessible anymore. ", Kukui explained. "Oh no. Then 2 breeding Mantine ran away because of us .. “, You sighed, but Kukui waved it off. “Don't worry about that. The breeding Mantine currently follow their nature, but they are also loyal partners Pokemon to the operator of the stand. After the breeding season is over, they will come back with their babies, ”he explained, which made you sigh in relief. "Thank God.", you sighed and dropped to the floor. That was not how you had imagined the end of the excursion. Leon sat down next to you and gave a soft laugh. “That was a little adventure. But that was amazing how you solved our problem, how did you come up with the steam idea so quickly? ”He wanted to know. "Uhm .. I was lucky, I think ..", you laughed uncertainly and scratched your cheek. Leon blinked and then heard amused laughter from the other side. Kukui. “Because this sea rescue is by no means the first. We were allowed to pick up [Y/n] at least 15 times from the sea between the islands, and even three times from the unmanned islands, because she had gone so far with the Mantine that even the trained water Pokemon could no longer orientate, ”he said teasingly . "Professor .. You shouldn't have reminded me of that ..", You sighed ashamed and put both hands in your face to hide your embarrassment. Then you heard a masculine laugh next to you. "That's not funny," you said to Leon.

The purple-haired man put his hand over his mouth and stifled another snort. "Excuse me. I only found the performance so wonderful when you raved about it half the flight and stated how good you were at Mantine surfing. And then such stories come to light. It's just .. cute. ", He uttered the last sentence a little quietly, but you still understood him and blushed briefly. Did he actually just call you cute ..?!

"So .. just for your information .. I just lost my way because I had so much fun surfing and then spontaneously swam somewhere. My spontaneous nature is nothing negative. We owe it to her that we got to know each other. ", You protested and crossed your arms with a slight pout. Leon stopped his amusement and then smiled at you. “That is correct. And without you, I wouldn't have this relaxing day on vacation. Thank you very much for that. ", He said then placed his hand on your shoulder in a friendly way to give you a slightly affectionate squeeze. He probably expressed gratitude and also trust and loyalty to the person he touched. A circumstance that  honored you and could give back to him as well. You smiled too now and put your own hand on his. "You don't need to thank me. I'm glad that I could help. And besides, I missed Alola. ", You confessed to him. “I can understand why. It is a paradise. And I think Primarina is your absolute favorite Pokemon right? ", He asked knowingly, teasingly. "H-How do you know that again?", You stuttered. Leon's smile turned into a grin and he took out his own Pokeball with Charizard. He looked at the ball and his gaze softened a lot. "Because Primarina ... looks a lot like you. You know .. Each partner Pokemon becomes similar to its trainer after a certain amount of time. Personality-wise, with the aura, his gestures, demeanor. Anything. And when the bond connects a Pokemon and its trainer so closely, these similarities are even more visible. When you got Primarina out of the ball .. I recognized you in her happy disposition. How gracefully she lifted her head and her hair waved in the sea breeze .. Her feminine demeanor during the attack. .. Everything about her somehow reminded me of you. Your band has to be very tight and you looked like a mermaid too in this neoprene suit. You are a suitable counterpart to Primarina, if I may say so. "

His words made you blush again. The things he said were true. He could tell all this from a single glance at Primarina? It was remarkable. This man was rightly the world champion. You laughed lightly and then picked up your Love Ball with Primarina. You hugged the ball to your chest where your heart was and closed your eyes. “You are right. Primarina and I have a special bond. I've fallen in love with her preliminary stages since I first saw them. I can't even say exactly why. ", You mumbled and then looked up. The sun was already setting and was just dipping behind the horizon by the sea. It looked like the sea was devouring the sun. “Fateful encounters can neither be explained nor influenced. After all, we are the best proof. ", Leon said and winked at you. You smiled and nodded again before you closed your eyes again and the last rays of the evening sun warmed your slightly hypothermic skin.

“I hate to tear you lovebirds out of your momentous discussion, but ... we are now back on the coast. You should put on something dry and look for a hotel. ”, Kukui spoke suddenly. "Of course you can also stay with us."

“Thanks for the offer, Professor. But .. Leon is a very busy man in Galar. One day is actually enough to kick off a huge scandal in Galar that the "unbeatable champion" has disappeared without a trace. That's why we allowed ourselves exactly this one day here. We want to go straight back to Galar. ”, You explained. “But the Corviknight taxi takes four hours to get here. Then it's almost midnight. And we'll be back in Galar around 4 o'clock ... shouldn't we wait for the night? ", Leon asked thoughtfully. You put your index finger under your chin. “I guess you're right. Fine But we do call the taxi driver to ask that he send the taxi off so that he picks us up around 10 a.m. Then we can sleep in and even have breakfast.“ You offered, holding your hand to him. Leon laughed and accepted. "Sure, deal."

You spent the night with Kukui and Burnet. The laboratory, where the family lived, had enough guest rooms. The next morning Burnet also served the three of you a hearty Alola style breakfast, before you and Leon said goodbye to them shortly before 10:00 a.m. and got into the Corviknight taxi that was supposed to take you back to Galar. During the return flight, Leon thanked you about 30 times for this day of vacation and how much he had enjoyed it in Alola. The people were also very personable and he wouldn’t mind if he ever made another trip to Alola with you. You made a mental note of this and the two of you enjoyed a quiet flight to Galar. The champion gladly accepted the moral sermon that followed from Oleana and Rose and you could certainly claim that this little experience had strengthened the friendship between the two of you. What else would you expect in Galar in the future?

* Kemiri comes from Kemiri nut and is another name for the light walnut tree, from which Kukui's name is derived (because another name is the kukui nut) * Selene is the official name of the female protagonist from Sun / Moon

Chronicles of Galar - Chapter 2 Part 1: Your Past & a “kidnapping” case

I’ll split this chapter into two parts, because this chapter is kinda longish. I apologize for any dumb grammar mistakes, because this was especially hard to translate from my first language. Well, to make a short summary, this is a full-Leon featured chapter and a little fluff :3 Also a little insight about your past in Amila.

You kinda felt bad about lying to your new friends. But after Taiko had speculated almost too much about your feelings for the Galarian champion, you had to make sure that it didn't spark any more rumors.

Because you actually had something else in mind than going back to the hotel. Your brother was actually in Amila, along with President Rose, his assistant, and your father, the retired Professor of the Region of Amila. The reason you'd left the cafe so quickly was because of Leon. He really didn't looked very healthy and even if Raihan tried to talk it down, you were convinced that Leon was overwhelmed by being in the spotlight everywhere and being so in demand.

You ran around the corner of the cafe, where all the reporters had gathered around Leon and showered him with questions. You were close enough to overhear a little. “Unbeatable champion Leon, that was a masterpiece of a battle! Defeating a Gigantamax Toxtricity while Charizard was completely at a disadvantage! How did you manage that? "

"Ahahahaha ... ha .. As I already explained to your predecessor .. and those before that, Pokemon types are no guarantee for a win! Charizard and I knew we were at a disadvantage and we only eradicated this disadvantage with tactics! Nothing else. Toxtricity was very strong! ”Leon laughed and scratched the back of his head in disgrace. Who knows how often he was allowed to answer these and similar questions today ... "Champion Leon! Allow us to take a few more snapshots at the scene! Please lead us to the place where you defeated Toxtricity! ” one of the journalists demanded. You only shook your head slightly at the insolence and intrusiveness of these people. Leon also seemed to be in need of explanation. You could tell that this interview was becoming increasingly uncomfortable for him.

"So .. uhm .."

You had to step in. "Unfortunately that is impossible.", you began and stepped out of the alley. The reporters turned to you, puzzled. Leon recognized you and blinked slightly perplexed. "And why is it impossible?" One of the reporters wanted to know and eyed you suspiciously. “Because the Toxtricity are currently breeding and mating. That is exactly why the accident with the Gigantamax happened. The Toxtricity only protected its babies. Right, Champion Leon? ” You asked, winking at him. Leon looked at you completely taken aback before he cleared his throat. “U-Uhm yes, I accidentally fell into a Toxtricity nest and the mother must have thought I was an enemy! We- We should leave them alone! ”He nodded. Now that Leon confirmed it, the journalists believed you.

“Well, then of course that won't work. But we still have some questions for- "

"I have to disappoint you there too, gentlemen.", You quickly intervened directly and fought your way through the crowd until you reached Leon and grabbed his arm. "But our champion has a very important appointment that he is way too late because of you." “Who are you anyway?” One of the men finally wanted to know.

“I am the daughter of the CEO of Aerial Industries, Amila's largest commercial company. And the manager wants to speak to Leon immediately. And your uncooperative behavior will only get him into trouble. So please excuse us now. “, You spoke then and simply dragged Leon past the reporters and onlookers. "Hold on, wait. Aerial Industries is interested in Champion Leon? We'd like to know more about that! ”One of them shouted, but you were already starting to run with Leon. “I'm really sorry, gentlemen. But it's still confidential between Leon and Aerial! We are not authorized to give further information! ”You shouted before you let go of Leon at some point after you were sure that the men weren't following you.

"I thought your father was Amila's professor? You didn't say he's also the CEO of Aerial Industries? ”Leon mumbled, perplexed.

"He isn't." You smirked, which made Leon even more confused. "But I couldn't get you out of there any other way." "You have ..", Leon started in shock, pointing at you with his gloved hand. “I took you out of this interview on purpose, yes. Because they pushed you pretty hard. You've already explained everything and they just haven't left you alone. And you looked so burned out I just had to act. Sorry. ", You said and clasped your hands apologetically. Leon just stood there, speechless, blinking. Then he started to laugh sincerely and put his hands on his hips. "I see. So that's how it was. Well, thank you very much for saving me. ", He smiled and when you looked into his face, you only noticed happiness and serenity. "Then you are not mad that I interfered?", You asked. Only now did you realized that you had acted on an impulse and that you had already intervened before your thought process was over. "Of course not.", The purple-haired smirked and put his hand on your head. “To be honest, that really came in handy for me. Who knows how long that interview went without you .. ", he sighed exhausted and took off his cap to fan himself with it. "Mmm, it must be exhausting to have so much hustle and bustle around you all the time.", You lamented. Leon laughed lightly and nodded. "That's it. Sometimes ... I don't want to be a champion anymore. I would just like to have some time for myself again .. A .. Mhm yes a short break .. and if it's only one day .. Does that sound selfish of me? ", He asked you. “No, why should it be selfish? You work almost non-stop, you go all over Galar for press conferences, photo shoots, while you make sure that Galar stays in balance and protect people and Pokemon. You really deserve a day off. ",You nodded. Leon then smiled in relief. “Thank you for seeing it that way too. Unfortunately, I can't allow myself to do that. ", He sighed. "Why not?"

"Well, I don't know where to go .. Everyone in Galar knows me .. and .. I wouldn't have a quiet minute," Leon mumbled. "What if you just spend the day off somewhere else?" You suggested. "Somewhere else..?"

You didn't answered him at all and just grinned when you grabbed his hand again and ran to the nearest Corviknight taxi. "Ah, hello there, where do you want to go?"the taxi driver asked and fed two Corviknight some berries. "Do you fly overseas?", You wanted to know and Leon looked at you questioningly. “You mean in other regions? Well, we have special taxi couriers for that. Which region do you want to go to? ”He asked. "Alola."

"Heh? Alola? ”Leon asked surprised. You smiled and paid the taxi driver. "Yep. A short trip to a vacation paradise. Perfect for our little break. ", You giggled. "Break? So it's not your honeymoon, sweeties? ", The taxi driver smiled and saw the young couple blush and gesticulate with their hands in panic. "No, no, no .. We are not .. So .. Haha .. Come on, let's just get in.", You laughed embarrassed and dragged a blushing Leon behind you.

You took a seat in the large gondola that was carried by the birds and tried to forget the embarrassing situation as quickly as possible. As a result, there was initially a rather uncomfortable silence while the gondola with the Corviknights started moving and the approximately four-hour flight to Alola began. You thought about how you had spontaneously persuaded Leon to run away with you, even though you didn't know each other very well. At this realization you gripped your head with a sigh. This action caught the champion's attention, and he looked at you when he became slightly concerned about your strange behavior. "Are you okay ..?" He asked. TYou blinked before you realized that you had sighed audibly and waved embarrassedly. "Yes everything is fine. I ... just feel a little bold. After all, I almost kidnapped you, didn't I? ”You asked with a slight laugh. Leon smiled and crossed his arms. “You could almost call it that. But .. As I said, this little break is very convenient for me, that's why .. you will be forgiven that you 'kidnapped' me. ", He said and winked slightly. You smiled at his answer and relaxed again. Even if you didn't know each other as well as you thought, the mood between you had been quite exuberant and relaxed since you had met in the Slumbering Weald. It was a sympathy that was hard to explain. "I am happy about that. Now it's time to go to Alola. How long did the taxi driver think the flight would take? ”You asked. “About 4 hours. Maybe half an hour more, in case the Corviknight need a break and have to rest. ", The purple-haired man thought and crossed his arms. “It's still a long time. Now that we have to sit around here anyway .. how about if we use the time wisely? ”He asked. "With pleasure. What do you mean with 'use our time wisely'? A fight is hardly an option. “, You thought and looked around. There was really not much space in the gondola ..

"That's probably true .."Leon answered with a slight grin. “I was also more likely to think that it would be a good opportunity for us to find out more about each other. We already know a few things from the phone calls and other meetings, but .. there is still a lot that concerns me, ”he then admitted. "What are you concerned about? About me? “, You asked perplexed and pointed to yourself. Leon nodded. "Yes. For example, you said you were born in Amila. But you grew up in Sinnoh for several years of your life. You even started your journey as a trainer in Sinnoh. Why? Why not in Amila and why did you live in Sinnoh? Please forgive me if these questions are too private. Basically we're just acquaintances, ”he added quietly and scratched his bearded jaw. “Don't be silly, Leon. We are no longer acquaintances. We are friends. Well .. at least that's how I see it. ", You then spoke lightly. Leon then gave you an illegible look before smiling and showing you his signature grin. "Yes. I see it that way too. I was just a little worried about whether it was still too early to tell me something like that, "he added. You shook your head slightly at him. “But I want to tell you. I know that you can be trusted, champion. ", You started with a smile and then leaned back on your seat. "Well .. In our family, we were a bit short on domestic bliss for a very long time. But .. that is a bit longer story .. ", You sighed. “But we have time. You know, in Amila there was a trainer school academy in Sonnfelden. And every child had to go to this school when they turned 5. There you were trained and prepared to be a trainer for 5 years. That's where I met Cynthia too, you know. "

“Ah, the champion from Sinnoh? She was in the semifinals of last year's Champion Cup. That was a close match between Steven Stone and her. ", Leon remembered. You nodded. “She is not only the champion of Sinnoh, but also something like my big sister. But I'll get to that in a moment. In any case, she also attended the academy when she was younger, since her family was also from Amila, you know. And when I came to the academy, of course, she had been outside for a few years. But she stayed as a visiting professor and taught us a lot. For example, she helped me back when we got a loaned Pokemon in our second year. You get a Pokemon egg that you have to take care of and so that you get a feel for the Pokemon. During this time, Cynthia and I became very good friends, although of course she was much older than me. I just saw her as a big sister. Unfortunately, she had to go back to Sinnoh a year before I graduated, but she assured me that I could always go to her if I had worries .. And I made use of that faster than we both would have liked .. ”, you began and looked at your hands. Leon noticed the slight change in your mood. "What happened?" He asked, taking off his cap to place it on yours in a comforting gesture. You smiled and adjusted the cap before sighing deeply. "My parents were about to get divorced," you explained. “Although they could probably pull themselves together again to some extent. But suddenly they started arguing again and .. the evening before my final exam  .. I found out the real reason I as born. ", You said and bit your lip lightly. Although the events were in the past, it still seemed to be a burden somewhere. And now that you thought about it, Leon was the first person to tell all this to. “Our parents' marriage was about to end before I was born. The harmony had long been gone and my father took refuge every now and then in the arms of other women because my mother just didn't gve him what he needed anymore. Anyway, my mom decided to just stop taking the pill and get my dad to ... sleep with her one night when she was particularly fertile. The result came quickly and ... yes. And believe me, it's not a nice feeling to hear that your parents only got you to save their marriage. ", You sighed. "I understand that .. Above all, you were very young. That must have been a shock .. ", Leon said quietly and put his hand on your shoulder. You just nodded slightly. "That was. I just felt so misunderstood and of course confronted both of them with what they meant by that. And then ... I found out the true circumstances of their marriage and ... that I have an older brother in addition to Kaito. "

"Wait ... you didn't even know before that Mamoru was your brother? Did he grew up somewhere else too? ”Leon sounded confused, but at least one could understand that. You smiled sadly. “Well, Mamoru had drawn an even worse fate with these people than I did. Or it was more of a benefit to him who knows. Anyway .. after my brother was born, there was an attack from a wild Gengar in Sonnfelden. There was an university too, where father studied archeology and mother studied medicine. They tried to stop the Gengar, but it got out of hand and used.. Dream Eater on my hypnotized mother. She lost her memories ... of her entire life because of this. Her husband and son. Then father decided to get my brother to his brother, our uncle Brian, in Bad Lavastadt, Hoenn. They wanted to get him back when the therapies made Mother able to remember and feel better. But .. after seeing how happy my brother was with Uncle Brian and his wife, they no longer had the heart to do it. Since then, the harmony between our parents had diverged. They barely had anything to say to each other, they also no longer exchanged loving gestures and gradually the marriage of the two broke up more and more, until my father finally thought of a divorce .. ", You mumbled. "... and to avoid the divorce, your mother thought, a child would somehow save the marriage or keep them together?" Leon asked and squeezed your shoulder slightly affectionate in an attempt to give you further comfort. "Yes. That was the ulterior motive of my conception. And somehow they made me feel that quite often, but I never thought anything about it .. Until I found out why I was born .. "

"What happened after that?"

“The relationship with my parents was down. And I hadn't passed the final exam either, precisely because my nerves were so shaky and the whole situation at home just finished me off. I just had to get out of there. That was the only thing I could think of. Then I remembered what Cynthia had said to me before she left .. That she would always have her arms open for me and that I could always come to her .. Just .. how should I travel to Sinnoh as a 9 year old child? … Father's Alakazam .. “, you then began. “Father's Alakazam can read the minds of us humans. And if you imagine a place very strongly and your wish is big enough ... then the powerful teleport from Alakazam will manage to transport you there. And you can surely guess who I was thinking of, right? ", "Cynthia?"

You nodded. “You should have seen her puzzled face when I suddenly appeared in front of her. I told her everything and afterwards she took me to her grandmother in Celestic Town. So that's how it started, that's why I went to Sinnoh. That's why I started my career as a trainer there, and that's why Cynthia and Professor Carolina are like a family to me. " "And your brother? I mean .. You are in good contact with your parents again, don't you? Did Mamoru know about it too? I mean that the people who raised him weren't his real parents? ”Leon wanted to know. “I think Uncle Brian couldn't take it anymore and told him. At the time, however, I had been in Sinnoh for a long time. Mamoru and I didn't even knew each other until then. We met after I got home because Mother got sick. Very sick. But don't worry, she's fine. But he should tell you himself how it is with Mamoru and our parents. If I do that, he'll surely get angry. ", You laughed a little. Leon nodded and smiled. “Thank you for this private glimpse into your life and your family. I want to return this favor and ... that's why I'll tell you something about myself that nobody else knows. Not even my best friend, Raihan. ”Leon began. "Wait .. If even your best friend doesn't know about it, then you shouldn't tell anyone else ..", You mumbled, embarrassed. Leon laughed softly and waved. "But I want to show you that I trust you as much as you trust me."

“That's nice of you, but you don't need that. If I didn't knew that you trust me, I wouldn't have told you the story in the first place. ", You smiled. "Fine. But at some point I'll tell you whether you want to or not. ", Leon laughed and winked at you charmingly. "Thanks for the warning."

Chronicles of Galar - Chapter 1: New friends & A Cliffhanger

This is the first real chapter of the fic. Here you are introduced to Raihan and Taiko, when you explore Hammerlocke with Sonia. Something with Leon is up to, can you help him?

It had been two weeks since you had met Leon and during these two weeks you saw each other again in person when you were visiting Professor Magnolia to begin your official start through the Galar region with your family. You met the elderly lady, the professor herself, her granddaughter Sonia and Hop, the younger brother of Leon. Back then in the Slumbering Weald you had only seen Hop briefly, but when you met again in the laboratory you got to know each other properly. Mamoru was currently away with President Rose, to whom he wanted to demonstrate a newly developed technology that would make it possible to teleport people over a very long distance. This process should be environmentally friendly and affordable, which is why the prospective professor even invited your father, Professor [L/n] from Amila, to Galar to win Rose as a financial sponsor. After all, Rose was also concerned about the environment and energy supply and with these arguments, Mamoru wanted to convince with his invention.

You, on the other hand, were in Hammerlocke with Sonia. This city was known for the fact that the mythology about the creation of the Galar region by two unknown kings originated there. Every historian visits the old "castle" in Hammerlocke for his research and of course you were also interested in finding out more about this region.

“And here you can see another mosaic. It shows a sword and a shield. These are said to have been the weapons with which the kings saved this land from disaster. Unfortunately I couldn't decipher all the cryptic letters yet, but I think the disaster had something to do with dynamaxing .. ", Sonia explained and crossed her arms thoughtfully. "Why do you think that?", You wanted to know and looked at the mosaic for a while. You couldn't figure it all out. "This shimmering reddish light, in front of the kings .. That could be a Dynamax light column, don't you think so?", the orange-haired woman asked. "Mhm. I've already heard about it, but to be honest, I haven't seen any of these pillars of light in person, so ... I have no idea. ", You answered. "You didn't? Oh, that's easy to change. The Wild Area borders on this city. We can ask Raihan to give you a little demonstration in a wild dynamax fight. " "Raihan?"

“The gym leader of this city. And a childhood friend of Leon and me. ", Sonia said and saw you stiffen for a moment. "..Is everything alright?", She spoke irritated and blinked perplexed. "Huh? Yes of course..!! Haha. I didn't even know that you knew Leon that well. ", You smiled somewhat troubled and waved her off. "And .. Raihan, Leon and you .. you were really good friends?",You asked. Sonia blinked even more and tilted her head slightly. "Err ... we are still good friends?", She said and noticed how you were getting a little tense. "And .. is there .. somehow more between you? So .. I mean .. uhm .. boyfriend-girlfriend like ..? ", you mumbled. "No, Raihan and I are not lovers.", Sonia laughed and you sighed softly, because you didn't mean Raihan at all. Now the assistant professor suddenly became aware of something.  “Oh. No, there is absolutely nothing going on between Leon and me, if that worries you. ", She giggled and winked. "Uh .. Uhm why should that worry me? Haha. I've only known him for two weeks. "

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing at all ..!"

"..."

Sonia shook her head in amusement and cleared her throat. “No, really now. Leon and I are just friends. No more and no less. I have no romantic interest in him. And he has none in me. ", She assured you. "..."

You didn't wanted to admit it, but this confirmation calmed you down a bit and you could have slapped yourself for feeling that way ..

So after that was resolved, the two of you went to the gym to find Raihan. Though you only found the young talented trainers that Raihan had in his gym. They were practicing on the court with their Dragon Pokemon and they looked so motivated and happy. However, there seemed to be no trace of the gym leader himself, which surprised Sonia a little. “Wait here, I'll take a look around the gym. He's probably sitting around, being lazy again somewhere and playing on his smartphone .. “, the orange-haired sighed, making you laughing uncertainly. "How did someone like that become a gym leader?"

“By losing to Leon in the final cup. He scored as second and has been defending this place for 10 years while trying to take Leon's championship title. ", Sonia explained and then apologized to leave you there and look around for the idler.

Just standing around in the stands bored you after a few minutes, so you decided to explore the gym on your own. To compete against the young talents of the final gym in the Galar Challenge would certainly be an exciting experience. You didn't take part in this challenge yourself, but you definitely didn't shy away from fights.

You walked a little through the corridors and rooms, watched the trainers fight and raise their dragons with interest, and you even learned a little about Dragapult, a dragon pokemon from this region. And which, according to the information on the information sheet above the life-size statue in the 'gift shop' of the gym, was also a team Pokemon of Leon. Why does a gym need a gift shop at all, was something you preferred not to question. This Raihan guy seemed like a very weird dude, but maybe that was what made him likeable? Just as you were about to go back to the stands and left the gift shop, you saw a leg-length, green creature scurrying past. It looked like a .. Fraxure? The first evolution of the Pokemon Axew, you noticed, before a female voice got your attention. “Aaaaah don't walk into the shop again! Raihan is going to get mad ..! Hey you over there, can you please help me to catch this Pokemon? ”a red-haired young woman, around 17-19 years old, called after you. She waved her hands in panic and tripped over one of her open shoelaces while running. As a result, she fell on her bum and sighed in annoyance. "Today sucks ..!" She muttered and pouted. You blinked and saw the Fraxure curiously sniffing at one of the souvenirs, a Flapple music box, and picking it up. “Noooo, put that back! It's fragile!!! Argh, why doesn't it obey? ", The red-haired woman shouted in frustration and ruffled her own hair as if she wanted to pull it out.

You smiled and then ran to Fraxure to gently take the music box out of it's claws and pat the Pokemon over it's head. "Well, well. That doesn't belong to you.", You rebuked and the red-haired woman used the moment to run to you and pull the Fraxure into her arms. "Gotcha, you runaway !!! Thank you for your help, miss. ", The redhead thanked you, relieved. "Oh, I actually didn't do anything. And no need for formalities. We're about the same age, ”you waved off. “My name is [Y/n]. “, You introduced yourself and held out your hand to the stranger for a greeting. The girl smiled broadly and tried to adjust Fraxure between her arms to accept this gesture and shake your hand. "I'm Taiko! And this cheeky little guy here is a Pokemon from Raihan, our gym leader. But he entrusted it to me today so that I could learn how to tame dragon pokemon. ”Taiko then explained. "... It doesn't work so well, huh?", You smirked and Taiko blinked before you pointed with your finger at Taiko's stomach area. The redhead looked down and now she also saw that the dragon pokemon had already made itself independent again and tried to run straight out of the gym. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Taiko shouted and ran after the Pokemon, but then the door suddenly opened and Taiko fell into the strong arms of a suntanned man. You blinked and looked at the man. He wore an orange-red headband, which covered his hair except for a dark braid. In addition, he partly wore the jersey of the gym trainers and over it a thick sweatshirt, which vaguely resembled a dragon. He grinned and looked down at the redhead, whose nose was now buried in his chest. A pointed fang-like tooth protruded from this grin and he smacked the younger one on the back in amusement. "I actually thought you were training the Fraxure and not the other way around." He teased her and when Taiko looked up pouting, he pinched her cheeks and pulled them apart slightly, as if he was talking to a child. "Stop it, Raihan .."

Ah, so that was Raihan. You smiled, because that's exactly how you had imagined him after Sonia's stories. Raihan laughed and then looked at you. "A friend of yours?" He wanted to know. "Uh .. you could say so.", Taiko laughed, which made you blink. "Uhm not really. We just got to know each other because the Fraxure almost ran into my arms. ", you clarified. “Well, then we got to know each other better. Because I always make friends with everyone I get to know! So that's a warning. ", Taiko winked and you smiled. That was an extremely lively girl. Through and through sympathetic and a nice change from the other redheads you knew (Aki was a redhead) .. Not that you didn't appreciate your sister-in-law, but she was sometimes a little too serious and grown up for the jokes that you and your brother liked to hatch. With Taiko, you felt like she was a massive mood cannon. "Understood. I have no objection to that. ", You laughed then and Raihan grinned wider as he casually called the Fraxure back into the Pokeball. “Well, then I would like to introduce myself officially. My name is Raihan and I'm the gym leader of the Hammerlocke gym. ", He flirty-winked, which reminded you a bit that he tried to hit on you. "Errr .."

Taiko poked him lightly in the side, then turned to her new self-proclaimed friend, aka you. “Raihan is a playful idiot. If he tries to flirt with you, just don't take it seriously. Because he never means it seriously. ", She warned. Raihan twisted the corner of his mouth and crossed his arms behind his head. “You don't need to get jealous, Taiko. You know that you are my number 1 girl. ", He then spoke teasingly, whereupon a shoe flew in his direction. Taiko's blushing face showed anger and embarassment and she hobbled over to pick up her shoe. "Idiot.", She said and you briefly hesitated until you saw that they were both laughing with each other. That calmed you. It was just mutual teasing. These two seemed really close, you thought with a smile.

Sonia was finally back and Raihan was allowed to listen to a lecture about the obligations of a gym leader, because apparently nobody in the gym knew that the dragon tamer was simply absent for hours because he - Quote from Raihan: an important event of one of his mobile games where you had to find hidden clues in different parts of Hammerlocke. (Something like a mix of Pokemon GO and the Harry Potter mobile game that use real locations)

After that, of course, he was more than happy to show you a Dynamax raid fight in the wild area. If the wild area had not been partially closed due to a strong storm. Well then that had to be postponed. You used the time, to learn more about the history of Galar, with Sonia and also with Taiko's help and you got to know each other better. “So you come from Johto? And your mother works at Ho-Oh's temple in Ecruteak City? Then you surely have an Eevee development too, right? ", You wanted to know with interest when Sonia and Raihan got some books from the library. "Yes, exactly. I was supposed to work as a geisha, too, but .. That just wasn't my thing. I need some action. That's why I came here to Galar. You know, my family took a vacation here 10 years ago and Raihan saved me in the Wild Area. We've been in touch ever since, and when I was finally old enough to travel I came here straight away! .. Well, almost immediately. Haha. I came here when I was 14 after starting my journey in Johto. Mother said that I should first really get to know my home region before I set off for foreign regions. "

"And it took you 4 years for it?", You interrupted her with a smile. "... Well, you can count 2 years less of secret trips to Galar to hang out with Raihan. Yes. ", Taiko mumbled and nudged her index fingers together. You had to laugh gently. "Wow and you're not married yet, after all the meetings and teasing each other?" You asked. Taiko went bright red in the face and gestured with her hands in panic. "Huuh? Why do we should be married? We .. we're not a couple .. ”, the tomboy defended herself vigorously. Your smirk went wider. “You like each other alot. A blind man can see that. I was watching Raihan when you ran into his arms. That affected look he gave you. He would probably never admit it. And you also have butterfrees in your stomach when he's with you. ",You stated. “Ahahaha, you have a blooming imagination. Raihan and I are just friends. Who wants such an idiot as a boyfriend! He's always on his cell phone. And he has absolutely no sense of responsibility. He leaves the trainers under my supervision all the time and then disappears for hours .. ", Taiko sighed. "But doesn't that mean how much trust he has in you when he entrusts his students to you?" You then asked. Taiko blinked and crossed her arms. “I haven't seen it that way yet .. But .. he always shifts his work on to others. And then has fun in some nightclubs .. He's probably also dragging every chick he meets in his bedroom .. ", the redhead spoke lowly, gritting her teeth and clenching her hand into a fist. You smiled. "I don't know Raihan that well yet, and of course I don't know you either, but .. I don't think he's the kind of guy who is like that and sleeps with many women. Of course, he has a certain .. charm about himself and he also seems to like to flirt, but .. Mhm no, I wouldn't trust him to have flings. My knowledge of human nature has never disappointed me ”, you assured her. "Do you think so?" Taiko asked and her face showed traces of relief. Now you had to giggle again. “And now you've definitely given yourself away. You're ... totally in love with Raihan. "

"I'm not.."

"Who's in love with whom?" a male voice asked behind you and Taiko winced because it was Raihan's voice. You turned around and saw Raihan with a mountain of books in his arms. Next to him was Sonia, who also carried some books and eyed both of you curiously. "Ah. [Y/n] has a crush on… uh .. the Slowpoke-Guy * from the new sitcom. ”Taiko quickly made up and saw how your facial features derailed. Raihan blinked and laughed, which made him drop the books. "Really? This guy's such a troll. He's running around in a Slowpoke costume and looks totally retarded. ", Raihan laughed and was hit with a book by Sonia for dropping the books. "Err .. That was just a joke of her. We actually talked about Hop getting along pretty well with his neighbor Gloria. And we have the feeling that they are in love with each other. ", You said then and saw Taiko smile gratefully. You could have whipped your red-haired new acquaintance over, especially after this thing with the Slowpoke Dude.

"I see? Well, the two of them are cute together. But still a little too young for a serious relationship for my taste. ", Raihan thought. "Define 'serious relationship'.", Sonia interfered and Raihan looked at her with a slight grin. "Sex."

"..."

You cleared your throat and also Taiko seemed a little embarrassed by the directness of her crush. “Sex isn't the most important thing in a relationship. At that age, it's perfectly normal to have your first boyfriend or girlfriend. Apart from kissing and holding hands, nothing happens. ", You considered. "How boring.", Raihan just said and crossed his arms behind his back. “Have you ever been in a committed relationship, Raihan? As far as I know, every woman turns you down because of your stupid pick-up lines .. ", Sonia sighed, shaking her head. Raihan looked at her and looked briefly offended. “Hey, they're not stupid! My pick-up lines are great. ”, The dark-skinned man then protested. "Oh yes? Then let me hear them. ", You suggested and smiled. Admittedly, these Galar acquaintances were sometimes really crazy people, but that's exactly what you loved. You had the feeling that you will be very good friends with these people ..

"Are there any other sights in town, besides you?" Raihan grinned with a sexy wink and a finger pistol gesture. "...Seriously?"

"Wait, I have another one! When God created you, he sure wanted to show off. ", Raihan tried again. But all in response from the three women was a mutual giggle. “Oh god, the pick-up-lines are so bad. Hahaha, my little brother Kaito can do them better. ", You giggled and shook your head amused. Sonia laughed too and Taiko smiled too, but you could tell that she was slightly uncomfortable about the subject. "Okay okay. That was really bad. But maybe I'll wait for the right one for the best lines. ", Raihan countered and looked slightly to the side. You stopped laughing and then looked at him in amazement. "That hardly sounded like you at all.", Sonia stated. "Can we just change the subject?" Taiko sighed, slightly annoyed. "Sorry.", You smirked and then helped Sonia to pick up the books that Raihan had dropped.

You sat down together in a cozy cafe in a sitting area and you let the three of them explain a little about Galar's history. At least what was known to some extent.

You were very curious and inquisitive about Galar's history. You liked this region more and more  and you couldn't even say exactly why. But at some point a slight commotion outside the cafe caught your attention. It seemed as if a large television team was gathered there and the flashing lights flashed through the window of the cafe like a thunderstorm.

Sonia stopped talking and followed your gaze to the window. “Oh, this is just an interview with Leon. I just checked my messaging app and it seems like he single-handedly stopped a runaway Gigantamax Toxtricity. Which is remarkable, because Toxtricity is already a serious opponent against Charizard with its G-Max Stun Shock. ", the orange-haired woman explained. “So many reporters and so much hectic pace? Leon certainly doesn't have an easy time being that popular. He can't go anywhere without being surrounded by curious fans or journalists, ” you said softly. “Yes, those are the downsides of his title. But don't worry, Leon enjoys the spotlight that's falling on him. He enjoys the fame and the many public appearances. ", Raihan said. He knew his rival and best friend well enough by now. You fell silent and got up to walk to the window and get a better look at the man at the center of this interview. Your look became a little worried, because although Leon had put on his usual smile, he looked pretty exhausted. He looked quite pale, despite his darker skin color and it seemed as if he had hardly slept recently. At least you could see his dark circles under his eyes. On this occasion you also remembered that his last message was a few days ago with the excuse that he had so much to do and at the moment didn't really know where his head was. At first you thought it was an excuse not to have to answer, but now that you saw him, he was really overwhelmed at the moment.

You were torn from your thoughts when you noticed a hand on your shoulder. You blinked and looked beside you when you saw Taiko's slightly grinning face. “Seems like our champion is very important to you. You're worried about his health, aren't you? ”The redhead asked mischievously. You knew why she was grinning like this. Now was Taiko's chance to strike back, for earlier. Because you would have to lie if you didn't think a little bit about the handsome purple-haired man since you met ..

"Nonsense. But I am a little tired. Let's move on to the history lesson tomorrow. By the way, my brother probably already misses me. After the appointment with Rose, he wanted to wait for me at the hotel to tell me how the conversation went. In any case, it was very nice to have made your acquaintance, Taiko and Raihan too. I have the feeling that we will meet a few more times. ", you smiled and then bowed politely as a farewell. Taiko grinned and gave you a thumbs up. "You can bet on it! Come safely to the hotel. Not that it's unsafe here in the city, but when it gets dark there could be strange figures walking around outside. ", The redhead warned. “Of course, I'll be careful. Anyway, I left my number for you Taiko. Just call me. See you! And thank you for the insight into Galar's history. Really interesting. ”With these words you said goodbye to your new friends. "Mmm, I wonder why she lied to us.", Sonia began after you had left the cafe. "Huh?" Raihan and Taiko looked questioningly at the orange-haired woman. Sonia then folded her arms. “[Y/n]s brother is at a long conference in Amila with Rose. Grandmother told me that, she knows every professor very well, including her father. And that means her brother isn't expecting her, you see? Why did she say that? ”She wondered then. "Mhmm .. Raihan pissed her off with his stupidity." Taiko said teasingly and Raihan then playfully put her in a headlock. "More like you shooshed her away with your intrusiveness!", He countered and the two laughed while they wrestled a little. Sonia just watched them with a sigh and then looked outside, where Leon was being questioned by reporters. "Is ... he the reason?"

To be continued..

Chronicles of Galar - Prologue 3: Y/N L/N

The Chapter you all waited for. Don’t worry, we’ll get to your past soon enough in the story, so stay tuned. Amila is a fake region my best friend made. He is also your brother in the story and the Professor of Amila. And don’t forget to save the tag Chronicles of Galar for updates ^_^ You can also find the story on AO3: Here

[Prologue: Y/n L/n]

Light footsteps echoed through the darkened Slumbering Weald, Galar. You tried to make your way through the thicket and a white Vulpix kept you company. The little Pokemon had a very shy and timid nature and was trembling with fear all the time. The unknown has always had a tense effect on the pre-stressed Pokemon. No wonder, when you thought about what those monsters from Team Skull in Alola must have done to it. You didn't want to think about that anymore and took out your smartphone to dial your brother's number. "Yes? [Y/n]? Man, we're looking for you everywhere. We were supposed to meet at Wedgehurst station. Are you lost again? " a male voice sighed at the other end.

“What does 'again' mean here? Sorry for not memorizing the entire map of a new region the first time I explore. Not everyone can have such a photographic memory as our Professor Mamoru [L/n]. ”You countered jokingly. "Very funny. Where are you?"

"If I'd know that. There is a forest here. I followed a little Pokemon that I don't know yet. That was so cute. Such a small blue creature, a bit similar to Ralts, with pigtails. I HAD to go after it, that's why I ran after it. "You explained, describing the Pokemon Hattrem, the intermediate form to the Pokemon Hatterene, a Galar Pokemon with the dual types fairy and psycho.

".... You walked into an unknown forest because of a 'cute' Pokemon?" Mamoru sighed and covered his face with his hand. That was just so typical of you.

"Pff. If it had been a new Arcanine Pokemon, you would have done the same. ” You shrugged your shoulders and heard a woman's voice laughing on the other side. "Hello Aki."

While you were talking to your brother, you did not notice at first that a fog was coming up. At first the fog was light and transparent, but soon you couldn't even see your own hand in front of your eyes. "Damn. Where does this fog come from all of a sudden? Hello? Mamoru? Can you still hear me? Hello? “ You asked several times after you didn't get an answer. You looked at your cell phone and then saw the connection go dead. "Strange."You muttered and tried to connect again.

Connection failure. The empty wifi symbols blinked mysteriously and that made you even more alarmed than you already were.

Vulpix jumped into your arms, the fog must have made it even more frightened as it snuggled into your chest. You pressed the fox creature close and tried to calm it down. “Don't worry, I'm here. We can do it, ” You whispered in a calming tone.

Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes next to you, made you stopping in your tracks. You swallowed and hugged Vulpix even closer. "Okay .. keep calm. That is .. just the cute blue Pokemon from earlier .. definitely .. I'm sure of it "Your mantra died in your throat when a large, wolf-like Pokemon came slowly walking towards you. It was mostly blue and the tail, as well as his shoulder jewelry and a long, pigtail-like fur chain, were in a red. The animal looked graceful but also dangerous. You knew from your trainer battle experience when a wild Pokemon is too strong to risk a fight. Since you had not brought any other Pokemon to Galar except Vulpix and Primarina, you did not dare to challenge this mysterious Pokemon. Especially since the fog was too thick for a real fight.

You backed away as the unknown wolf pokemon stepped closer. It seemed to be assessing the situation without actually giving the appearance of wanting to attack. You didn't wanted to risk anything and so you turned around and tried to escape. You held Vulpix with all your strength so that you wouldn't drop it while running.

However, it turned out to be a wrong decision to run through an unknown forest in thick fog. At every corner you almost bumped into the trees and one time you could not avoid the roots that were on the way and stumbled. At the last second you were able to turn your body to one side so that you wouldn't crush Vulpix with your body.

In return, you fell so hard on your shoulder that you had to cry out in pain. Vulpix whimpered helplessly and tried to comfort it's trainer by licking your cheek when you got up again and wanted to run away. To make matters worse, you were getting tired too.

It wasn't long before you passed out when you let go of Vulpix and collapsed. In this unknown fauna with a wolf on your back and nobody knew where you were. Was that the end?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Char?"

You had a headache and your shoulder hurt badly when you slowly opened your eyes. You felt as if you had been grilled with a Rapid Spin. Above you was a shadow that turned out to be the head of a Charizard and that made you blink.

"Oh? You are finally awake? " a male voice, unknown to you, spoke up. You straightened up before you realized you were covered with something. A blanket? No. A cape? It was red with a yellowish border and next to the red check pattern there were many different symbols, probably from companies from Galar. Sponsors maybe? Then you looked at a campfire.

A young man was sitting there, no more than 1-2 years older than you, and gave you a sincere and charming smile. His irides were amber and glowed from the fire. His purple hair was moving gallantly in the blowing wind and his parted goatee gave him a wise and manly touch. He wore a kind of leotard with a sword and a shield, short white trousers and long, equally white leggings underneath.

"What happened?"You wanted to know and held your shoulder. The memories, of what happened, were rather vague. “Charizard found you. And at the right time. You passed out right in front of a cliff. “ the man said and crossed his arms. "However, it took a while to save you, because your little protector thought we were enemies at first." the purple-haired man smiled and then pointed to a white fur ball next to you. It was Vulpix who slept next to you. You blinked and looked up. "W-what?"

The man's smile widened. "It really wanted to protect you heroically, even though it was trembling with fear."

[Flashback after you passed out]

[Leon's POV]

Charizard scanned the area to find a way out of the thick forest. If my brother ever finds out that I'm still lost in the Slumbering Weald ... I sighed and continued on my way through the fog. It was strange, the last time there was a fog like this, I looked for Hop and Gloria. The two reported about a rare Pokemon. Had it reappeared?

"Char-Charizard!"

My faithful companion drew my attention to something. A person was lying near the cliffs. Here in this part of the forest people rarely got lost, so I was astonished to meet someone here. Charizard and I stepped closer to identify the person. It was a woman. Just as Charizard was only a few steps away, a Vulpix attacked us. But it looked different from what I knew. It was snow-white and otherwise looked slightly different. Was that a so-called "Shiny"? I've never seen anything like it in my life! It had to belong to the woman. “Don't worry, my friend. We mean no harm. We want to help you. " I tried to calm the Pokemon. It stood protectively in front of its trainer and growled at us. But I also realized how scared it was. His entire body was shaking and his eyes showed despair and uncertainty.

I leaned down so I didn't looked so tall and held out my hand slightly. "Do not worry. We are not enemies. ”I tried again, but the Vulpix barked and shot an aurora beam at both Charizard and me. Wait? Aurora beam?!

I had no time to be confused about what was going on with it's element.

Charizard intercepted the attack with his wing and tried to counter. “Charizard stop! Don't fight. “, I ordered him and looked back at Vulpix. Just as I was trying to figure out how to make it clear to the Pokemon that I just wanted to help, it seemed to run out of strength and it collapsed. "That poor thing. Who knows how long it had been so weak and it kept on its feet the whole time to protect its trainer. "

[End of flashback]

"Vulpix must love you very much." The man added gently to his story and you smiled gratefully when you lightly petted the head of the Pokemon. "Oh Vulpix .." you whispered softly. “By the way, my name is [Y/n]. And your name is..?"

Now the man looked surprised, almost shocked. Or maybe .. disappointed? But then he had to smile again. "And I thought I am most famous trainer in Galar," he said, although his tone was not arrogant. "So you're not a fan of me, unfortunately." he added jokingly. "Hahaha. I'm sorry. But I'm not from Galar. “ You explained to the young man. "Will the most famous Galar trainer tell me his name?", You asked, a little amused yourself, whereupon the friendly stranger had to laugh gently. "With pleasure. My name is Leon. “, He finally introduced himself. "I am pleased to meet you. And thanks for the rescue. “ You replied kindly. "You're welcome. Where are you from, if I'm allowed to ask? ”Leon asked curiously.

"Of course. I grew up in Sinnoh. But originally I'm from Amila. ”You explained proudly. “Oh, I've heard a lot from Amila. Has your family moved to Sinnoh? "

"No no. It's a somewhat complicated story and, frankly, a bit too private. "You answered the question with an apologetic smile. Leon seemed to understand your intention and nodded. "Then of course I won't ask further. But it's nice to see that trainers from so far away are drawn to our beautiful Galar. But what are you doing here in the forest and why were you passed out? "

"Um .." You scratched your cheek in slight embarassment. “I wanted to meet my brother and his fiancée in Wedgehurst. Then I saw this real cute Pokemon and followed it blindly into the forest. At some point I lost sight of it and then this thick fog came. There was this Pokemon .. graceful, big, blue and red .. and I fled from it because I didn't fight unnecessary fights .. At some point on my escape I dislocated my shoulder and then passed out from exhaustion.“ You sighed in frustration. Oh man, that really sounded like a story that could only happen to a beginner. Leon grinned slightly. "So, a cute Pokemon got you into this misery. Well, you seem to me to be a very caring trainer and also very cautious tactically if you don't risk fighting against the unknown. ", Leon began and put his hand under his chin in a thinking pose. “You remind me of me. I'm just as devoted when it comes to Pokemon. And I ... uh, have no sense of direction. I even get lost in houses ... “, he then admitted with a laugh. "So? Is that why you walk around here by yourself too? Are you lost? In an area that should seem familiar to you as a well-known trainer of Galar?“ You tried to tease him. "Well .. at least I'm not so clumsy that I hurt myself." "Touche."

The silence between you two lasted a very short time until Leon spoke again. "And which Pokemon fascinated you so much that you walk into a dark forest that you are not familiar with?" He asked while he went to you with a first aid box. He was probably trying to fix your shoulder. You smiled and were grateful that you liked to wear strapless shoulder tops. So you didn't even have to undress and Leon got to the affected area without any problems. “Well, it must have been from this region because I didn't knew it. It was small and blue, with two braids and a white body. It looks a little like Ralts or Kirlia .. " You described while Leon took care of your shoulder and made a professional splint from a piece of a big leaf and bandages. “Oh, you mean a Hattrem. You can find them here in the forest, but quite far inside. They are also considered to be very shy when it comes to human interactions, because they react strongly to emotions. So I'm amazed that you saw one far enough from the forest to follow it. ”Leon wondered and blinked. “Then it was obviously my day of luck and bad luck at the same time. Because it got away from me. “You giggled and thanked him for the treatment. "Are you hungry? My cooking skills are modest, but so far Charizard and I have not had any food poisoning, "Leon laughed and handed you a plate of homemade curry. You accepted the food with a thanks and ate a spoonful. Leon paid attention to your facial features and at the moment when the corner of your mouth went down slightly, he laughed embarrassed. "So bad?"

You giggled slightly and swallowed the somewhat tough curry. "Well, some spices are missing, but it still tastes better than when one of my brothers tries to 'cook'." You said and ate the rest of the curry. It wasn't quite as bad as he had advertised it. Leon smiled and then looked at the sleeping Vulpix. "I think your little protector is waking up," he said and pointed to Vulpix. Its small head rose and it noticed that its trainer was no longer next to it. "Vul ..!" It shouted happily when it saw that you were awake and jumped joyfully into the arms of its trainer. You hugged it lovingly and breathed a quick kiss on the Pokemon's head. "There is my heroine."You said meekly and Leon couldn't help but smile happily while he saw the interaction between trainer and Pokemon. There weren't many trainers who had such a close and friendly relationship with their Pokemon, which was actually very sad. Many saw them only as toys or tools, as battle puppets, to become famous. Many did not care how the Pokemon are feeling. But that was exactly what the champ of Galar wanted to change.

"If you feel fit enough, then we can look for a way out together." Leon suggested after you gave your Vulpix some PokeBlocks from your home to eat. After all, you didn't wanted to let the poor thing suffer from the bad curry.

"Yes, I am. Vulpix surely too, right little one? “You asked and Vulpix replied with an enthusiastic: 'VUUU!', Whereupon both trainers had to laugh and went on their way. On the way you held a little small talk, about your wisdoms on how to take care of Pokemon, about the fact that you wanted to settle down in a region at some point in order to run a fairy gym, since this position was already taken in Amila . And in the other regions that you had traveled to. The subject came up about the strange colors of your Vulpix. "I wondered something. Is your Vulpix a Shiny? Because I've never seen a white Vulpix before. His fur is also a little different. ", Leon said and looked next to him. You walked next to him while Vulpix made herself comfortable on your not injured shoulder.

"No. But it comes from Alola. You know, the Vulpix in Alola had to adapt to the changed weather conditions and basically ... changed their element. These Vulpix are ice and fairy type. "You explained and now it made " click "at Leon. "Aaaaah, that explains why it attacked with aurora beam," he laughed then. "You have never seen an Alola form?" You asked, flabbergasted. "No, we actually never have trainers who come from Alola," Leon answered thoughtfully. "I think you're the first one I see with an Alola Pokemon in my 10 year trainer career," he added. It was a few more hours before you reached the exit. You two noticed that you got along pretty well and that your chemistry was really good. You laughed a lot, of course you didn't try to get lost again and you actually felt a little wistful when you got out of the forest. Because that meant that the ways of you and this personable trainer parted again.

"Hey! Sister! ", Mamoru shouted, who was already waiting in front of the entrance with his fiancee Aki and an unknown young man.

"Huh?" You blinked and ran to your brother. "Who is this?"

“This is Hop. He lives in the village and is currently visiting his mother. We got to know him and he wanted to help us find you. But as I can see you've found your way back. ", Mamoru grinned mischievously. You knew that grin. "Brother!" Hop called and hugged Leon. You blinked. So Hop was Leon's brother? If that wasn't a coincidence. "Really, have you got lost in the Slumbering Weald again?" The younger sighed and put his arms on his hips. "You know how bad my sense of direction is." Leon laughed and raised his hands defensively. "However. Mother would like to see you again, so move your bum to her and say hello, "he ordered.

"Well, then it's probably time to say goodbye first.", Leon said and turned to you. "Um .. Here, this is my league card. You can all have one. ", He said a bit embarrassed and first gave Mamoru and then Aki a card. He gave the last one to you and grinned. You looked at it and blinked.

"... Champion Leon .. Wait, you are the champion of Galar ?!", you asked completely perplexed and pointed at him. "That offends me now, that you are shocked." Leon laughed and winked at you.

"No of course not. That somehow makes you sympathetic that you are so absentminded. "You smiled. Just as Leon was about to reply, Hop poked him in the side. "Stop flirting and get on your way, brother."

Leon laughed, then turned back to you. "Now that you now know who I am .. Is there a chance that you will become a fan of mine after all?" He asked you slightly teasingly.  You smiled back. "I already am." Your answer surprised him and your next words made him even a little blushy. “You are my savior after all. My hero. Of course I'm your fan. "You added and also winked.

Leon just stood there with his mouth open and everything he wanted to say died in his throat. Hop grinned broadly and then pulled his brother behind him. "Maybe we'll see each other again, folks!"

"See you then, Hop! And Leon. ", Mamoru shouted afterwards with a laugh, until he turned to his sister with a grin. "Already Found a little romance here yet? ”He teased you. "Dont talk nonsense. I do not know him. But he was .. nice. “You said and then looked at his League Card. Under the name was soemthing written in small letters: 'Turn the card'. You blinked and looked at the back of the card.

....

You grinned broadly and hugged the card when you laughed softly. "What's going on?", Aki wanted to know. "Oh nothing."You smirked and took your smartphone to type Leon's home number, which he had attached to the back with a small message, into your phone. He was kind of cute and this was just the beginning of a new wonderful friendship. You were sure about this.

Chronicles of Galar - Prologue 2: Leiko Tategami

Spikemuth wasn't a pretty town. It was pitch dark all day long, as a kind of black veil lingered over the city as a dome. The streets were dilapidated and dirty, and buildings seemed mouldered and soon falling apart. Graffiti was everywhere and Team Yell had gotten pretty big. It wasn't a place where you wanted to live. Especially not if you no longer had a place to live and lived on the street.

Leiko didn't wanted to end like this. She had hoped for so much more, but after her 5th birthday her parents had this opinion, that a life without a child would be much “easier” and “more money wasteful” and they simply left her behind. In a cold, empty apartment that was soon taken over by some “Team Yell” members.

There was one thing that Piers, the local gym leader and former head of Team Yell, didn't knew.

Not all of Team Yell were on his and Marnie's side, and not all of them had legal lifestyles. There were gangs and petty criminals who liked to hide under the guise of Team Yell and then mischief. As a result, Team Yell also had a very bad reputation outside of Spikemuth. Of course, all of this happened without Piers' knowledge .. and of course without Leiko knowing that Piers wasn't involved in these shady characters.

"Hey, Leiko. “, A female voice got the homeless woman out of her thoughts. Marnie. The girl, who was the only one who had the right to be called a friend by the blue haired woman. Leiko met the younger female 3 years ago when she tried to break into a burger shop because she hadn't eaten for a long time. The two girls became friends despite a not inconsiderable age difference and Marnie often looked after Leikos well-being. However, Marnie's visit in Spikemuth had other reasons that she couldn't tell Leiko. Because Marnie was the younger sister of Piers. A fact, that she had to hide from her friend in order not to forfeit her hard-earned trust.

Marnie was convinced that she would somehow get Leiko out of these slums. Leiko was taken to an orphanage after her parents had left her alone when she was 5 years old. The same orphanage that Bede visited. Just Leiko was older than him by then. When she was 15, she had had enough of the orphanage and simply disappeared on her own. Since then, for these 6 years, she has made her way through the slums of Spikemuth on her own, struggling to survive every day. Because thanks to the occupation of these vagabonds, she could no longer go to her parents' house.

"Hello Marnie. It's been a while, huh? “ Leiko answered, slightly disinterested, because she knew how rare her only friend's visits were. Marnie smiled sadly and knelt next to the seated older woman. “Ever since that idiot Gym leader put those neon lights on every corner, it feels like you're in the red light district. And the search for food is not really easier with those lights .. ", Leiko mumbled.

"If you find it so awful here, why don't you leave the town and start a new life in Motostoke?" Marnie asked. She saw by the expression on Leiko's face that the pride of the blue-haired woman was far too great for her to give in and leave the town.

"Tch. No thanks. If I die here and the gym challengers see my rotten corpse, they'll run straight away. That will hopefully damage Piers' reputation. “ The blue-haired woman laughed bitterly.

"You really hate Piers, don't you ..? ”Marnie asked a little sadly.

"You still ask? This guy let this city sink into trash and rubbish! Everything's filthy, dilapidated, and everywhere these damn Team Yell hooligans doing more shit. This town is at the end of it's rope and Piers doesn't care! He's only interested in his stupid singing. "

Marnie had to smile. "How do you know he's singing?" She asked teasingly, because Leiko could only know that if she was close enough to his gym to watch him rehearse with his band. That wasn't concert volume.

"... Tch, I happened to be at the garbage cans from the gym when I was looking for food and then I heard him sing, okay?" Leiko countered and turned her head slightly to the side. Marnie giggled a little and then put her hand on her best friend's shoulder. “I am sure that deep in your heart, you love this city. Otherwise you wouldn't be so stubborn if I tried to take you to another city, "she said. The blue-haired woman blinked uncertainly. “How do you come up with this sentimental crap now? Am I supposed to love Spikemuth? This town is a neon-lit garbage dump .. ", the young woman sighed and shook her head. "A garbage dump that you don't want to leave." Marnie smiled and Leiko growled barely audibly. "If you only came here to preach to me-"

"No no, I'm sorry.", The black-haired girl laughed and waved her arms. “I really just wanted to see how you are. And .. I brought you something. Look. ", Marnie began and rummaged around in her bag until she took out a small wrapped bento box. “I met someone who is super good at cooking. She taught me this .. uhm what did she call it .. 'Bento'? …. This is a dish made of rice, meat and vegetables and I also made a little curry over the rice! That tastes really delicious !! “, she smiled and pushed the Bento box directly into Leiko's face. "..."

“You can take it. Or should I bring the good food to Piers? ”She winked. Leiko sighed in defeat and then took the box. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I hope you like it. " Marnie smiled and then the ringtone of her Rotom smartphone started. "Oh .. I have to go. I'll stop by when I'm done with a private matter, okay? Keep a stiff upper lip. See you then. ", Marnie said goodbye with a sisterly hug and then strutted along the dark streets with her Morpeko. Leiko looked after her and then looked at the bentobox. It was decorated with a Phoenix Pokemon, which the blue-haired woman has had never seen before. "So ... she met someone ...", she then mumbled softly and threw the Bento box carelessly in the trash can. She just couldn't eat that, she was too stubborn for that. She would rather go on starving and eating rotten food from the street before condescending to accept pity from others and eat something like that. .. Even if she later regretted the decision.

Because two days later, the hunger was almost unbearable and Leiko looked for the garbage can into which she had thrown the Bento box. She hoped to find some more food, as the garbage cans were rarely or never emptied. She rummaged around in the garbage a little, the stinking smell hardly bothered her anymore, as often as she had already searched the garbage.

After a while she was lucky and found what she looked for and cleaned the Bento box when she looked inside and checked the condition of the food inside. The curry didn't look that delicate anymore, but it was good enough for Leiko's current state. She took a generous portion with her hand and was about to bring it to her mouth when she heard rustling and whimpering in the back corner. The blue-haired woman stopped and pulled out her own pokeball. It was not uncommon to fight over leftover food with other homeless people. And she wouldn't be surprised if one of those vagabonds had followed her to steal her food.

Leiko waited until a small, red and black fox pokemon emerged from the garbage. A Nickit. Those little strays were a nuisance in Spikemuth. Because they usually appeared in smaller groups and then stole food from shops. Even Piers struggled with the thefts these little fox Pokemon were responsible for. The blue-haired woman knew better than anyone else that these little Pokémon were doing the same thing as her. To survive. The Nickit sniffed around the garbage can until the smell of the curry brought the little creature closer to Leiko. Although these foxes were cheeky but extremely shy, Nickit came close enough to her and looked interestedly at the dark mass in her hand. Leiko followed the Pokemon's gaze and sighed softly. She knelt by the Pokemon and held her hand with the food in front of its face. Nickit looked at the food and carefully stepped closer. At first it hesitated, but after sniffing a bit, it ate the food, howling with satisfaction. Shortly afterwards the rest of the little pack came, a total of 5 Nickit finally circled Leiko and they all looked just as hungry. Leiko took the Bento box and placed it in the middle of the Pokemon. She hadn't planned to share this meal now, but the welfare of Pokemon has always been above her own.

While her own stomach growled, she watched the Pokemon as they fought over the remains of the Bento box. The blue-haired woman sometimes hated herself for her quirks, but on the other hand she didn't regret it. She searched the garbage for something else, but couldn't find anything. Leiko sighed in frustration and dropped to her knees. The little Pokemon finished their feast after a few minutes and yelped a collective 'thank you' to their benefactress before they went looking for something liquid. What the blue-haired girl didn't notice was that two people were watching her from an inconspicuous corner. One of those people was Marnie. The other was a slender young man with long hair, which consisted of white and black strands and was tied in three tail-like braids. "..." The man just watched her in silence until Marnie sighed softly. "Well ... she chose the life on the street herself, Marnie. Nobody in this world is forced to be homeless. There are countless facilities she could go to .. ", the man muttered a bit monotonously and looked at the younger one. “I know, Piers. But she's lived here in Spikemuth all her life. And apparently is she too stubborn to seek help .. ", the black-haired woman said softly. "That's her own problem then." Piers shrugged his shoulders. "How can you put it so dryly? You are responsible for this city as its gym leader. This also includes making sure that people have a roof over their heads. Why don't you just throw out those Team Yell members who have taken over her home? ”She asked. “Why should I do this, Marnie? Team Yell are honorable citizens. They would never take someone's house away. Whatever this woman claims, my people would never do that. ”Piers protested, shaking his head. “Why should she lie to me? I know her .. ”argued Marnie. Piers closed his eyes briefly. “You will learn soon enough that people don't always tell the truth. And that you can't help everyone. Especially when these people so clearly refuse to help. You shouldn't hang out with people like that .. "he added quietly. "You misinterpret her completely. She may seem a little gruff and stubborn. But she just wants someone to be there for her."

"..."

"Piers?"

"Why me? You're friends with her. ", The older one sighed annoyed and scratched his neck. Marnie rolled her eyes briefly. “You don't have to take her in with you or anything. But take a closer look at the people in her house. Do you do that For me?"

"..."

"..."

Piers sighed in defeat. He couldn't refuse his sister anything. "You owe me something for that .." he just mumbled, whereupon Marnie giggled and hugged him happily. "Of course. Thank you very much! " Marnie nodded, relieved.

A few days later. The situation for Leiko did not take a pleasant turn and luck seemed to have left her across the board. Because since she had left the last meal to the little fox pokemon, she found nothing to eat. Either the Pokemon plague had gotten worse lately or other rabble was gathering food recently. Whatever it was, the blue-haired woman feared her survival as much as she did when she fled the orphanage and it was all new to her. Now she didn't even have the strength to stand on her feet. Her stomach growled almost continuously from sheer hunger and Leiko put her hand to her stomach to suppress the pain of the empty stomach. She wanted to get up to move on and look for other garbage cans, but her legs no longer obeyed her. She was just too exhausted. 'This is probably the end. Tse. I lasted longer than I thought. ', She thought to herself, laughing softly and closed her eyes. Noises of footsteps echoed through the darkness and the young woman looked up in annoyance. Only one person wore such noisy heeled shoes. 'Piers ...'

Piers and one of his band members, a Team Yell member, had just made purchases and were on their way back to the gym. However, this was not the normal route from the supermarket to the gym, which the Team Yell member also noticed with astonishment. “We never go this way, Piers. This stench is getting worse and worse. We finally have to do something, the wild Pokemon are damaging more and more. " the stout man with the painted face spoke concerned. Piers listened in silence and ignored his words. Instead, his gaze fell on the blue-haired woman who was sitting on the floor. Her look was slightly hostile and when the two men were close enough to her, Piers took something out of the shopping bag and threw it to the young woman. Leiko's reflexes were just as precise as usual, because it was only her legs that lacked the strength when she caught the object, a sweet apple. She looked at the red fruit and then at Piers. Shortly afterwards, Piers also caught the apple when it came flying back. "I don't need your pity," the young woman only growled. Piers shrugged his shoulders and bit into the sweet apple as he walked on, unimpressed, leaving Leiko behind.

From now on it went like this on a daily basis. Piers purposely walked past her and always tossed her an apple, which always came back and both parties were silent the whole time.

At some point Piers threw another apple at Leiko and was already holding his hand in position to catch the fruit if it came flying straight back. This time, however, Leiko kept the apple, making Piers now looked at her questioningly. The blue-haired girl bit into the apple and chewed the refreshing pulp before looking at a blinking Piers. "What? Isn't that what you wanted? You throw me the apple every day anyway, even if I throw it back. So fuck it. ", She said then and shrugged her shoulders. Piers was silent again, but as he walked on, a satisfied smile graced his lips. Maybe that was the beginning of getting through to the hypothermic Leiko.

[Prologue: Taiko Hirebayashi]

[9 years before  the timeline in sword / shield]

“Taiko, honey. Don't run too far away from the camp. The wild area is teeming with Pokemon. ”, a woman, around her late 20s to early 30s with purple hair that was tied in a pigtail, spoke in a warning tone. She wore glasses and petted a Flareon, her loyal partner Pokemon. "Yes, mommy.", a 9-year old girl with fiery red hair replied cheekily. "And stop using this word, please. Did you learn that here in Galar? Please just call me mother. ”, she corrected her daughter. Ever since the holiday in Galar began, the child seemed to have increasingly adopted the linguistic peculiarities of the inhabitants of this region. "Okay, mother.", Taiko muttered and rolled her eyes in slight annoyance. She didn't thought it was that bad, because she loved everything in Galar. Much more than at her home in Ecruteak City, in Johto. Her mother was one of the dancing geishas at Ho-Oh's temple, which was why Taiko was promised an Eevee for her 10th birthday as a starter Pokemon. Like all geishas, ​​she should learn the art of meditation dance one day, in order to command the awe of the holy phoenix pokemon. But now they were here, in Galar, enjoying a few days of vacation.

Taiko quickly got bored, however. In her tent, she started to felt shut in. Her toys were only entertaining for a short period of time. She wanted to explore the wild area and see Pokemon! No matter how much her mother told her not to.

The young redhead sneaked out of the tent, while her parents were talking to an employee of the Pokemon Rangers, because a wild Dynamax Pokemon attacked the Lake of outrage nearby. Therefore, a warning was issued to all traveling coaches and tourists to stay away from this lake in any case.

If that didn't sound like an adventure ..

Without even thinking about it, the girl simply ran through the wild area. Lake of outrage was relatively in the middle of the area and her parents' camp was quite far to the south, at a popular campground for out-of-towners. Because there were only weak Pokemon running around, which did not pose any danger to hikers.

So Taiko just had to walk south, right? ... But she didn't knew where the south was.

The extroverted redhead remembered her days in the scouts camp, which had taken place near Cianwood City. She remembered that moss grows  on the northern side of trees because they are often in the shade due to the rays of the sun on the other side and the moss can spread there. So Taiko examined the surrounding trees and based on the position of the moss, she quickly knew where north was. She nodded proudly and then strutted north, full of energy.

Meanwhile in another part of the wild area.

“Pokeball, go!” an 11 year old boy with dark skin, casual clothes and a red headband that hid most of his hair, shouted. The pokeball hit a small, white spherical pokemon, which was vaguely reminiscent of a slug. The dragon pokemon Goomy. The ball wobbled three times before stopping and trapping the Pokemon. "YES!" the boy smirked and put himself in a victory pose, which, of course, nobody could see because he was alone. Shortly afterwards, he took his Rotom smartphone out of his pocket and took a picture of himself and his latest catch. Then he opened a social media page that was similar to Facebook.

'Look, I caught a Goomy! The dragon tamer Raihan has struck again! : D Soon nobody can stop me, so take a good look @Leon! I will be champion before you!'

With a grin, Raihan tapped 'Publish' and waited for the many likes from his friends and “fans”, as he liked to call his followers. It took less than 5 minutes before his best friend and rival had already made a like and comment.

'Wow, congratulations @Raihan! This Pokemon is totally rare! Unfortunately I haven't seen one yet. But don't be too early! Who will be champion first is still to be decided! '

Raihan grinned and replied, in his cheeky way. 'You have to find the stadium for our decisive fight first! XD I have enough time to train my Pokemon. '

The young man put his smartphone back in his pocket, he knew that Leon never accepted his provocations and therefore it was a waste of time to wait for an answer. “Come on, Vibrava. Let's see if we can find more cool Pokemon! ”He said to his partner Pokemon. The green, dragonfly-like Pokemon nodded eagerly and flew over the area, while Raihan grinned and followed his companion. He just loved looking for Pokemon in the wild area.

Back to Taiko. The young redhead was already regretting her spontaneous ideas and had to admit: she was lost.

This part of the wild area was so heavily overgrown by dense forest that hardly any sunlight penetrated through the thicket and consequently the moss grew on all sides of the trees. So it was impossible for her to determine in which direction she had to go.

"...MUM? DAD? DO YOU HEAR ME? ”And then she gave up and called desperately for her parents. Why the hell was she always so .. stubborn and had to give in to her curiosity?

The girl fell on her knees and began to cry. She was just too spontaneous and didn't think about the consequences. Now she was here in an unknown area, far away from her parents and who knows what else was lurking in the dark thicket?

A bush near her began to jiggle and that frightened the little girl. She stopped her emotional outburst and looked frightened at the bush. She crawled a few feet back from her almost sitting position and shivered as the rustling increased. Taiko swallowed lightly, trying not to make a sound to attract the attention of this unknown creature in the bush.

Suddenly a small, white rabbit pokemon rolled out with some somersaults. It had a kind of red fur in the shape of a plaster on its nose and its long ears wiggled and twitched as it straightened up and looked around. Taiko looked at the little Pokemon, which noticed her now too. It looked back. Neither of them moved for a few moments until Taiko blinked several times.

"How cute ..", she beamed and crawled forward on all fours. The little Pokemon stopped and tilted its head slightly as it watched the humans movements. "Scor? Scorbunny!" the little creature said. Taiko knew that Pokemon could only say their name, so now she knew the species. So that was a Scorbunny! She had never seen it before. Was it a regional Pokemon from Galar?

"Mmm, I think I have some candy somewhere …" the redhead mumbled. At least the situation calmed her down enough to forget about her outbreak minutes before ... She searched her pockets and actually found some fruit gums made from red haban berries. A very sweet type of berry that was perfect for sweets. Taiko smiled and offered the Pokemon some fruit gums. "Little one? You're are hungry, aren't you? ”She asked.

Scorbunny bounced closer and sniffed the girl's hand. Probably a first approach as to whether it could trust the person. As it took a fruit gum on its paws, it sniffed the gelatine again and stuffed it into its mouth. Taiko giggled as the Scorbunny gleefully chewed the fruit gum and then happily hopped up. "Scor! Scor Scor Bun?"

Taiko didn't knew what the Pokemon was trying to tell her, but from it's hopping around and staring at the fruit gums, it was obvious. It wanted more candy. The redhead smiled and gave Scorbunny a few more fruit gums. This time the Pokemon was braver and patted Taiko's hand with its paws before pounding on the fruit gums. Taiko had to laugh gently when Scorbunny let 5 fruit gums disappear into it's mouth at once and chewed contentedly. "You remind me of me." Taiko giggled.

Scorbunny finished snacking and as a token of gratitude, leaned it with its head on her arm and cuddled up to her. Taiko blinked slightly in surprise. Who could have guessed that wild Pokémon would approach humans so quickly? So obviously love goes through the stomach. Taiko smiled again and ruffled Scorbunnys fur behind it's ears. The Pokemon let out a satisfied purr and closed its eyes.

After a while, the Pokemon hopped onto her lap. This action surprised Taiko and she put both hands around the Pokemon. "It's so trusting .. it definitely belongs to someone ..", the redhead sighed, disappointed. She would have liked to keep the Scorbunny to herself. The two lingered like this for a few minutes until Taiko noticed that she was still in a quandary. She still didn't know how to get back to her parents. And the Pokemon was certainly not a sign back.

Slowly, the girl got up and let Scorbunny on the floor. “Go, your trainer is probably already worried about you.“ Taiko smiled and gave it a few last fruit gums before she continued on her way.

For the next 10 minutes she already missed Scorbunny .. She sighed softly to herself and stopped to lean against a tree. "Scorbunny ..." Taiko's eyes widened when she heard the Pokemon's call and turned around. Scorbunny was a few meters away from her. Taiko didn't even think for a second that it might be another Pokemon. It MUST be the same ..

When the Pokemon saw the girl kneel down, it ran into her arms and snuggled against the redhead's chest. Taiko straightened up and hugged the Pokemon. "You probably missed me too ..?", She asked and as if Scorbunny wanted to answer, it's nose nudged her fist when she raised her hand in front of it. Taiko smiled. "Then let's find a way back together." Scorbunny nodded and climbed onto her shoulder, where it made itself comfortable.

Taiko went on for a while, she didn't know how long, but it was already getting dark. Her parents were probably worried ... Then suddenly a huge lake was before her. Scorbunny sniffed the new surroundings and then tensed up with a menacing growl. The redhead swallowed at this cautious behavior. "The Lake of Outrage ...", she realized then. She wanted to run in the other direction when suddenly a giant Pangoro blocked her way. Apparently she had invaded it's territory because it looked angry. And aggressive.

The redhead stepped back, startled, and tripped over a thick branch. She fell on her bum and held her aching foot after she fell on it with her weight and cried out in pain. Pangoro seemed angry at the noise and stepped closer. It's dangerous threatening gesture made the girl's blood run cold. Scorbunny growled loudly and jumped in front of the girl as if it wanted to fight Pangoro.

"No..! This is an evolved Pokemon ...! It's too strong .. ” Taiko warned, but Scorbunny tried to attack with a double kick and jumped on the evolved Panda Pokemon. Pangoro held up Scorbunnys leg with one paw and tossed it back so that it landed in the mud next to the girl. "Scorbunny!" Taiko shouted distraught and took Scorbunny in her arms when Pangoro came closer and raised his paw for a blow. The redhead closed her eyes tightly and tears ran down her cheeks. "I don't want to die yet ..."

"Vibrava, dragon rush!", a boy's voice penetrated her ears and Taiko looked up when something enveloped in a blue aura slammed into the menacing Panda Pokemon from above in full speed. Pangoro was staggered by the recoil and  Raihan jumped in front of Taiko, ordering his Vibrava to make further attacks. "Super power, now!"Raihan ordered, causing Vibrava to launch a wave of attacks on the Pangoro. The fighting Pokemon appeared to be extremely robust and put up with all attacks. "Damn it, well then we have no other choice. Vibrava, use sandstorm! "Raihan shouted. Then he turned to the girl behind him. "Cover your mouth and nose!"

Taiko nodded and pushed the scarf, that her mother had given her over, half over her face. Vibrava created a dense sandstorm that made the entire area so opaque that you couldn't see anything. It was only when Taiko felt someone put a hand on her shoulder that she recognized the outlines of the boy, who helped her. "Let's get out of here before the storm subsides," he said. Taiko tried to get up, but a strong pain in her leg made her fall back to the ground.

"Ouch .."

"Hey, are you okay?" Raihan asked, holding her to keep her from falling again.

"I must have broken my leg when I tripped earlier .. I can't step .." the redhead sighed in frustration. Raihan blinked for a moment and saw his Vibrava land on his shoulder. He knew the sandstorm wouldn't hold up the enemy Pokemon much longer. An idea occurred to him without further ado and he turned his back on the girl while he knelt down. “Climb on my back. I'll carry you. ", He said.

"T-I can't ask that of you ..", Taiko mumbled and shook her head vigorously.

“Come on, my tent is not far from here and the storm won't hold back Pangogo for long. We have to get out of here. ”, the young trainer explained and Taiko probably had no other choice. She sighed and climbed onto his back, the Scorbunny clinging on her shirt and holding onto her as the boy carried her away from the lake.

It really didn't take long, a maximum of 10 minutes, until the boy reached his tent and gently laid the young girl on his sleeping bag.

"Here we are. Uhm. What's your name anyway? ”The boy then asked with a smile.

"T-Taiko and what's your name?"

"Raihan. Are you a Gym Challenger too? " Raihan asked and saw how the Scorbunny had snuggled up with her and was sleeping. The redhead shook her head. “I'm not from here and I'm only 9 .. My parents and I are only here for vacation. I live in Johto. “, She then explained.

“Then why were you alone at Lake of outrage? It's not an approved campsite at all. On the contrary, it is strictly forbidden for travelers to enter here.“

"Uhm .. well .. I was curious because I was bored in the tent and .. then I somehow got lost ..", the redhead explained, embarrassed, and tugged on a strand of red hair. Raihan just looked at her before he laughed. This reaction offended Taiko now that she thought he was making fun of her situation.

"Hey, that's not funny, I was really scared!" She said with a pout and turned away with slightly flushed cheeks. Raihan wiped a tear of laughter from his face and grinned slightly before winking at her. "Sorry, I didn't laugh at you. Just .. I've done so much nonsense too. When I was 5, my father was camping here with me too and I saw a Trapinch and followed it to Lake of outrage too. My father had to save me from a wild Gyarados in the water. And I was just thinking that I was having a deja vu when I saved you, ”he admitted with a laugh.

Taiko blinked slightly.

"Uhm ..", she just wasn't quite sure what to say to that. "Thank you for the rescue ..", she said quietly, but still slightly offended, and turned her head away from him.

"You are welcome. But let's take care of your leg first. ", Raihan said and got a first aid kit from the corner of his stuff. Taiko lingered as quiet as a mouse, a rarity with her otherwise extroverted personality, when Raihan exposed the leg by lifting her pants up the affected leg and pulling down her socks to inspect the damage. “That looks bad. No wonder you can't walk. ", He said and took a rag that he moistened with a kind of disinfectant spray. "That could burn a bit now," he warned her.

The redhead bit her lip and squeaked softly as he placed the rag on the wound on her leg. Raihan smiled and praised her for how bravely she got through this action. She even had to laugh a little when he confessed that he had screamed like crazy when he was injured and his father wanted to treat him with the stuff too. She didn't know why, but somehow Taiko didn't feel so helpless anymore.

She watched spellbound as he expertly cleaned the wound and treated it with a bandage. "You don't seem to be doing this for the first time," she said then. Raihan blinked and then looked up at her as he kneeled in front of her to put his foot on his lap.

"Yeah. I have a clumsy best friend. His injury rate is pretty high when he's got lost. I don't even know how often I've been bandaged his falls and grazes. ", Raihan said thoughtfully and Taiko giggled. “Sounds like me. I am also at risk of injury. A miracle it was only the leg. ", She sighed. Raihan smiled and put her leg down again.

“You would certainly get along well. He exudes the same positive energy as you. ", Raihan said, whereupon Taiko went a little red in the face. However, she didn't know why. "I exude positive energy?" She asked.

"Sure, of course. You can see that just by how Scorbunny has taken you to its heart! I thought to myself that it wasn't yours when you said you were only 9 and not from here. So it's a wild Pokemon, but it behaves like you've been training it for years. ", The boy remarked, whereupon the girl's cheeks turned even darker. "Uhm .. I'll take that as a compliment .." she whispered, slightly embarrassed. "It was one." Raihan winked and was amused by the shy behavior of the girl. At the lake she had behaved differently. Then there was a short silence between the two of them until Raihan reached for his smartphone. For once, he wasn't interested in his social media activities. “Which campsite are you at? In the east or in the south? ”He asked.

"Uhm .. south?"

"All right." Raihan smiled and started dialing a number.

"Who are you calling?"

“Mr. Pascal. He is practically the lessor of the campsite. Your parents surely miss you. So I'll give him our coordinates so that someone can come and pick you up. Because I can't carry you the way to the campsite. ”At this comment the redhead blushed again and turned away slightly. “Your last name would still be helpful to find your parents more easily. "..Hirabayashi."

Raihan called and talked to Pascal for a few minutes until he had passed on all the informations. About the aggressiveness of the Pokemon at Lake of outrage, about the injured girl and also their whereabouts. Then he thanked him and hung up. “They can't send a rescue team out until tomorrow morning because they'd have problems finding us and transporting you. I told them that you can spend the night with me in the tent and that you are safe. ", Raihan said. "Uhm .. but you only have one sleeping bag." Taiko spoke. "But that doesn't matter .. I can sleep on the floor."

Raihan sighed.

“There is no way of letting a girl sleep on the floor. You sleep in my sleeping bag, I sleep on the floor. " He said.

"Never."

"Well, then we'll both sleep on the floor if you don't give in." Raihan shrugged his shoulders, whereupon Taiko rolled his eyes. "Then give in.", She said and shrugged her shoulders. Raihan grinned slightly and folded his arms behind his neck.

"Only if you sleep in my sleeping bag." Was the devious answer. "To what extent is that giving in for YOU?" Taiko asked now and crossed her arms in front of her chest. The two just looked at each other for a few moments before Raihan sighed in defeat. "Well, let's make a compromise.", He said, which made Taiko sit up and take notice. “It gets darn cold here at night anyway. If we cuddle up a little ... together, we can both sleep in the sleeping bag and the body heat prevents us from half-freezing to death. "

His suggestion made Taiko look shocked. He wasn't really serious, was it? She didn't know this boy at all. But now that he said it, it was actually quite fresh. "..."

"You can of course also become a living Vanillite if ​​you prefer that.", Raihan said and spread out the sleeping bag. "Okay, okay. It's only for one night. ", She gave in, whereupon Raihan had to laugh again.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The next morning, Taiko's parents and some of the wild area staff members went to the location of forest that Raihan had described for them. It wasn't long before they found the tent, which was guarded by a Duraludon. “This is Raihan’s tent. It has to be. " Pascal remaked, before Taikos parents ran to the tent. "Taiko ?!"

Taiko blinked, she was still half asleep when she yawned and snuggled into something warm. This warmth moved slightly, from which the redhead woke up. She wiped away the sleep on her eyes and then saw how she was snuggled up against Raihan, her legs tangled and his arms pressed her to his chest.

The girl quickly broke away from him and Raihan woke up too. "Woah?"

The redhead ignored him and let her mother hug her tightly.

"What kind of things are you doing?" Her mother scolded her. "I'm sorry .. really .." the girl apologized and was then pulled into a hug by her father. "Never do that again," he said then. "You're hurt, aren't you? I'll carry you back. ", He said then and wanted to pick her up. "Wait, dad ..!" Taiko stopped him and then turned to Raihan. She made a beckoning hand gesture that signaled him to come closer. "Thanks again for everything, Raihan. I hope to see you again. ", She smiled and hugged him goodbye. Raihan smiled and hugged back. “Well, if you ever want to visit Galar again, you are always welcome. Until then, I'm champion and you can visit me in my palace. ”He laughed. "The champion lives in a palace?" Taiko asked and her eyes widened greatly.

"I dunno, but definitely!", Raihan laughed then, whereupon Taiko had to laugh too. "Well, see you at some point, hopefully. And take care of yourself, you risk-of-injury. ", He said teasingly.

Taiko was then carried back to the campsite and was even allowed to keep Scorbunny.

And what should she say?

5 years later, she set foot in Galar again after her divorced mother wanted to start a new life over there and Taiko seized the opportunity and followed her to see the cute boy from back then again.

[champion-leon-imagines]

I’m not dead

I’m sorry for being inactive for such a long time, but it seems PokeAni had forgotten about Leon aswell, since despite the opening he never showed up again (afaik of course, correct me if I’m wrong).

But I have some good news for you. I continued my long Leon FF and I am about to translate the first chapters (at least the Prologue chapters for Reader-chan and two of my OCs who will have small roles aswell)

I’ll upload them when they’re ready.

Edit: It may take some time, because that’s about 20 word pages D: For three prologues. You can imagine how long the whole fanfiction will be when it’s finished (and there is at least two adult chapters with You and Leon *wink* . no wait, three)
