Image

Half asleep you heard the Starlys chirp and trill and the Kricketots chime in harmony with one another, announcing the arrival of morning. You shifted slightly in bed, pulling the covers closer to you and yawned. The best feeling in the world you believe was hearing the sound of the world rousing to the start of a new day and knowing you didn't have to wake up along with it. With a content sigh you roll on your side, slowly drifting off to sleep...

Tap! Tap! Tap!

You furrow your brows slightly at the sound but quickly relaxed, smiling softly to yourself...

TAP! TAP! TAP!

You assume it was just a Starly or two messing outside your window so you chose to ignore it, opting to pull the covers over your head. You sighed again, this time in annoyance, as you try to fall asleep...

Click! Scree!

"Psst! (Y/N), are you sleeping?"

Your eyes open in disbelief as you immediately recognize the voice and just process the fact that he happen to somehow open your bedroom window to ask the obvious. 'Say it ain't so.’ You turned to face your window to see Barry there, arms resting on top of the sill as he watched you with a curious expression which was soon beaming with excitement once he saw you. "Oh good, you're awake!" Like you weren't sleeping to begin with.

"Wha? Barry what are you doing here?" You asked groggily. "Aren't you suppose to be at Pastoria City with Wake?"

"It's summer, duh! Crasher Wake gave me the week off and since your school is closed for vacation I thought it was perfect to catch up and hang out together this week!" Barry had this lively vibe around him that practically made him glow like a ray of sun leaving you dizzy with exhaustion. You plop back in bed with a groan knowing your plans to sleep in till afternoon for the whole week was ruined. "So at first I was thinking of going to the Great Marsh like we use to for old time sake" Barry began as he climbed right in sitting at your windowsill. "But I heard today would reach the hottest temperature ever in Sinnoh history!"

"Really now?" You asked in a monotonous voice. How hot can it possibly be in the coldest region in the world.

"Get this, 72 degrees! Can you believe it?!" As someone who was born and raised in Hoenn, a region where temperatures can reach up to the high 90s during the late summer you weren't exactly impressed. "So change of plans! We're going to spend the day at Sandgem Beach so pack your things!"

You glanced at the digital clock on your bedside. It read 6:22AM. "Barry it's too early! Can't we go like at 10 or something?"

"No way! We have to go now otherwise it'll be full if we go any later!"

"When is Sandgem Beach ever full!? You can barely even call it a beach!" You turned away from your friend, wrapping yourself up in your blanket. You were not getting out of this bed.

"Come on (Y/N)!" Barry whined. "We haven't hung out in so long! I literally spent all night planning this week out and you're just going to turn me down?! If Lucas and Dawn were here they would've agreed in going!" You can hear the irritation in his voice but underneath it was a hint of dejection. Shortly after your journey with the trio came to an end things changed. Dawn moved to the Kalos region a year ago to continue her study on Pokemon and just a few months afterwards Lucas left to Unova for reasons unknown though you had a hunch that it had something to do with that officer Looker. Barry spend most of his days at Pastoria’s gym, training intensely with Crasher Wake. As for you your parents never supported your dreams of becoming a Pokemon Trainer and your battling skills were left to be desired so you dropped it to continue your studies and follow a more reasonable career.

Although you didn't look at him you can feel him gazing at you, presumably with a pout or with Lillipup eyes. You groaned in defeat. "Fine."

Barry barely let you finish your sentence as he responded, "Really? Awesome! Don't forget to bring your Pokemon along with you, alright? And don't show up late otherwise I'll fine you!" With that he jump out your window and let out a yelp. "Don't worry! I'm alright!"

You sighed, wondering how anyone could have so much energy so early in the morning as you practically dragged yourself out of bed to start the day.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Sandgem Town was quiet, the majority of the residents still asleep or just starting their day. You haven’t been in Sandgem in quite a while yet walking down the somewhat familiar road invoked a nostalgic feeling. You paused, looking at the houses on the street till you spot the familiar lab down the road. Professor Rowan’s lab. It almost felt like yesterday when you took your first step through Route 201 alongside your friends Lucas and Barry (although the latter practically raced his way there) to get here with your first Pokemon, Riolu. You couldn't help but smile at the memory before going on your way to Sandgem Beach. And, as you predicted, it was empty saved for Barry.

He stood at the edge of the boardwalk, his back facing you as he perform some stretching exercise. His team was already out of their Pokeballs, enjoying themselves. Infernape was meditating, Roserade, Snorlax, and Staraptor were sunbathing, Floatzel was swimming, and Heracross was attempting to bury itself in the sand, seeking warmth. Taking out three Pokeballs from your belt you released your team: Lucario, Lopunny, and Vaporeon. Your Pokemon looked around their surroundings before glancing up at you in surprise. When was the last time you actually brought them somewhere that wasn't home or your school’s campus? “Go on you guys. Have fun!” With that said your Pokemon went off to do their own thing.

Lucario sat beside Inferape, joining it in meditation and Lopunny bounded excitedly over to its long time crush, Roserade, the Bouquet Pokemon vastly annoyed that its peace was disrupted as it escaped from its crushing grip. Lastly, Vaporeon decided to take a swim, dipping into the ocean and blending itself into its surroundings, disappearing from sight.

The commotion between Lopunny and Roserade caught Barry's attention as he looked over to notice you. "Too slow!" He yelled running over to you. Not even giving you a chance to say something he grabs your arm and drags you over to the boardwalk. Once he lets go he begins to take off his shirt.

"Ready for what?" You asked.

“Barry!” You never saw your friend shirtless before so you couldn't help but feel flustered. Though he didn’t seem to care as he carried on anyways. As you assumed, Barry had a lean figure, what you didn't expect however was the amount of freckles he had. Although Barry had freckles dusting his cheeks and nose they were barely noticeable compared to the ones on his back and shoulders which were far more prominent. Realizing you were staring longer then normal you quickly turned away, trying to hide the awkward blush.

Luckily, Barry didn't notice. "Ready?"

"To swim!"

You look down at the blue water before dipping a bare foot in. It was ice cold. "It's freezing!" You exclaimed.

"It's not that bad!"

"Thanks but I pass" you said, waving a hand dismissively.

Barry pouted but it was soon replaced with a mischievous smile. "Alright then, suit yourself." He said, surprising you. Barry wasn't one to easily let things go without trying to convince you first. He's up to something, you know it. You were about to ask but he had already left your side as he jump right into the water, splashing you head to toe causing a sharp gasp to escape your lips from the sudden shock of being doused in icy water. Barry pop back up to the surface with a triumphant smirk, his bright eyes gleaming with playfulness.

"You suck!" You yelled causing him to laugh as he dived back underwater. Soaked to the bone there really was no point in staying out of the water in hopes of drying off soon, not with this cold breeze that made it impossible to warm up. You remove your hoodie and shorts revealing your (color) swimsuit before setting them down on the boardwalk and slipping into the water. Since you were already cold the frigid water didn't get to you, feeling more welcoming then before.

You looked around for your rival, trying to spot the blonde in the murky water but only saw his Floatzel which was lazily floating around. "Barry?” Something suddenly grabbed onto your ankle causing you to scream in surprise and flailing to get away, kicking away whatever touched you.

Barry appeared right beside you, clutching his left cheek. "Ow! Seriously?! You just kicked my face!"

"Well you shouldn't have grabbed me like that!" You said. He only stick his tongue out at you before swimming over to the boardwalk, crossing his arms and resting his head atop of it. You watched him as he stared up at the blue sky with a content expression, droplets of water clinging on to his hair as it shined in the morning light. Seeing him like this gave you the same flustered feeling from before. You couldn't quite wrap your head around as to why though. You’ve known him since kindergarten. So why all of a sudden you felt awkward around him?

"What’s up?" You didn’t even realize that he had stopped gazing up at the sky in favor of looking at you.

“What do you mean?” You said, turning elsewhere though it was in vain since he already caught you this time around.

“You were staring at me just now. It was pretty weird.” You try to think of something to say, mainly to defend yourself but to your relief he changed the subject. “So how’s school?”

You shrugged. “It’s alright. Senior year isn’t difficult compared to the other years since we’re more focused on applying for college.”

“Do you know where you want to go?” You noticed his words were a bit quiet and reserved unlike his usual chipper and noisy self.

“Well I was hoping to go to University of Unova since it’s known for having the best (career) course” you explained. “Though my parents aren’t too keen on me going that far so I might just stick to Goldenrod University.”

“I know that but...” He trailed off for a moment, thinking of what to say. “Can’t you just go to Canalave College instead?”

“Goldenrod!?” Barry’s sudden sharp tone made you flinch. “Why so far?” He was looking at you with a hurt expression that made you feel guilty despite the fact you didn’t do anything wrong. At least, you felt like you did nothing wrong.

“Well compared to Unova which is practically halfway across the world. Johto is just south of Sinnoh.”

“Barry, Canalave College doesn’t even have programs on what I’m going for.”

“Ugh, this is why I’ve always hated school” Barry grumbled, letting go of the boardwalk just to sink further into the water leaving just his eyes visible to you, glaring down at nothing in particular. He almost resembled that of a pouting child.

You didn’t understand why he was so upset about your plans or why he was trying to make you change your college decisions. Unless… “You don’t want me to leave?”

Barry barely let you finish your sentence as he quickly got up. “It’s not that!”

“Then what’s the problem?” You pressured.

At this point Barry wasn’t even looking at you, opting to just randomly glance around the area. “There is no problem! It’s just...” With a sigh he finally looked at you. Honey colored eyes stared at your (e/c) ones, his cheeks gaining a bright shade of pink. “I thought even though Lucas and Dawn left at least I still have you around.”

You couldn’t help but frown. You didn’t realize just how attached Barry was to you and the others until now. Naturally you felt bad but you certainly couldn’t change your plans for him either as much as it hurts you to see him like this. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think you would be this upset about it but it’s just how it is. Eventually we have to go our own way to live our lives. Right now you’re training with Crasher Wake to become one of the best Pokemon Trainer ever. At some point you’re going to leave Sinnoh to follow that dream, right?” He remained silent but nodded in response. “Just because we’re not going to be together like old times doesn’t mean we’re no longer friends. You’ll always be my best friend no matter what.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I guess I was being over dramatic.” You couldn’t help but smile when you saw his expression brighten. That was until he started giggling leaving you perplexed.

“Huh? What’s so funny?” You asked

“Sorry I just found the whole ‘you’ll always be my best friend’ bit kind of cheesy.”

“I was trying to cheer you up you douche!” You snapped unable to control your blush of embarrassment as Barry continued laughing. Seeking petty revenge you bought your fingers to your lips and let out a sharp whistle. Without warning your Vaporeon splashed out between you both before spouting water right in his face. He sputtered in surprise as he attempted to shield himself.

“So that’s how it’s going to be huh?” He challenged before calling for his Floatzel who immediately appeared by his side. Already getting the cue of what was going on the Pokemon retaliated by spraying sea water over you by spinning its propeller-like tails. Oh, it’s on now. Barry however was already a step ahead of you as he mounted onto his Pokemon’s back. “Good luck trying to catch me Slowpoke!” He taunted with a smirk before promptly swimming away from you. You knew Vaporeon was nowhere near as fast as Floatzel but you sure as hell weren’t going to let him get away so easily. You got on Vaporeon’s back and began swimming after the two, unable to contain the childlike excitement and determination you were getting from the chase.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

For the first time since you moved to the chilly region you truly felt the warmth of summer in Sinnoh. You and Barry sat on a bench right outside Sandgem Beach, not bothering to change out of your swimsuits as you ate popsicles and watch the afternoon go by. Residents glance at you both with odd looks since beachgoers rarely, if ever, visit their town but neither of you mind at all. After having that impromptu water fight you both decided to have a Pokemon battle, for old time sake. Of course you lost but you didn’t mind. Its been so long since you felt the fun and adrenaline that battles gave you that you completely forgot why you enjoyed them so much in the first place.

“Hey (Y/N)?” You looked at Barry who took a small bite from his orange creamsicle. “I know I said it was cheesy but is it true? I’ll always be your best friend no matter what?”

“Of course. I wouldn’t lie to you about that.” You had just finished your (flavor) popsicle, dumping the stick in the trash can beside you. He remained silent and although he said he was fine you notice still a hint of sadness in his expression as he stared off in the distance. Placing a hand on his shoulder you diverted his attention to you as you beamed at him. “It’s a promise.”

There was a sudden shimmer in his eyes and you wonder if he was tearing up when he quickly rub at them. “It better be otherwise I’ll fine you ten million PokeDollars if you replace me!” You couldn’t help but giggle, Barry joining in.

“So what’s the plan tomorrow?” You asked.

“Well I was thinking the Great Marsh maybe. If you’re fine with that.”

You nodded. “I bet I can catch more Pokemon then you.” You smirked when his smile faded into an annoyed expression.

“As if! I’m totally going to kick your ass!” He said swatting away your hand when you attempted to ruffle his hair just to irk him.

Needless to say, you were pretty glad he woke you up this morning.

Practice Writing Prompt #1

character; Gladion

word count; 780-ish

summary; With only a few hours left before taking his leave Gladion has one last conversation with his sister.

I wanted to try writing something that focus more on character interactions as oppose to action/fight scenes like I'm use to so sorry if this ain't good. Constructive criticism is welcome.

art credit

Gladion wasn't one to make sudden decisions. He preferred careful planning over following a whim. But with the pressure of perfection from his erratic mother and her crazed obsession with beauty and desire to be surrounded by the beasts she adored was getting to him. It wasn't until the incident of Null that hit the final nail to the coffin. It was no use staying any longer.

His eyes narrowed in slight annoyance as he crumpled up the messy page he was writing on before dropping it in the slowly growing pile of failed letters. He only had a few hours and wanted to leave a note behind for his sister to ease her worries before he left. Yet he just couldn't find the right words to say. Maybe it was best not to leave anything behind. After all Wicke knew his plans, she would explain to her.

Letting out an exasperated sigh Gladion got up from his desk, deciding to catch a quick break. Stepping out into the courtyard he shielded his eyes for a moment before adjusting to the light. The Alolan sky was dyed in beautiful tinges of orange as the day was finally coming to an end. He took a breath of fresh air, taking in the saline scent of the sea which never failed to relax him, forgetting his worries in less then a second. From the corner of his eye he spotted someone and glance over his shoulder. Lillie stood by the balcony, her back facing him as she stared out into the horizon, the sun was dipping itself into the sparkling ocean. A breeze blew across the courtyard causing the edges of her pure white dress to sway softly. Just recently she began wearing the outfit their mother picked out for her. He frowned slightly as the memory of that evening resurfaced, the sound of his sister's pleas falling on deaf ears as their Mother would not take no for an answer till Lillie finally yielded to her wishes, fearful of the consequences if she lost her patience. Taking his place beside her the two remained silent for some time, watching the waves rise and fall, crashing into the base of Aether Paradise in a slow, rhythmic flow. Sometimes they spend time with each other like this, simply enjoying the other's presence.

"If you had the chance to leave this place right now would you do it?" The question was out before he even realized what he was saying. Lillie looked at him, the corner of her mouth turned slightly downwards in a small frown, quirking her eyebrow in curiosity. He waited patiently for her to question the sudden topic but instead she answered.

"I have thought about it" she said softly looking away from him. Gladion's expression lit up in surprise at her confession. He consider the idea of bringing Lillie along but he assume she wouldn't be on board with the plan. Plus, the last thing he wanted was to drag his sister into unnecessary risks. But now he was reconsidering the idea. It was dangerous out there but was she any safer here?

His train of thought was interrupted as Lillie continued. "I never went through with it though because, well, I'm not that strong. I don't even have a Pokemon of my own so I don't think I'll make it far. But that's just part of the reason.

"The truth is I don't want to leave Mother. Even though she changed so much I still believe everything will be like before. I know that sounds a little silly, maybe even delusional but I want to believe in that possibility. I want to hold on to that hope. And even though that's just wishful thinking at least I still have you."

Green eyes filled with sincerity met his own as she smile up at him. The lump in his throat made it hard to swallow as he forced himself to look away from her, feeling he might break right on the spot if he stared at that hopeful expression any longer. Gladion managed was a small hum in response as guilt gnawed at him. So caught up in his plans and belief that this was for the greater good he didn't even consider his sister's feelings or how important he was to her.

Nor did he realize how his departure would devastate her.

How selfish.

Daylight now gone and dusk has taken its place Gladion return to his room, knowing he couldn't turn back now. His mind was made up. And as he finished packing up his bag he finally manage to leave behind a small note for his sister:

I'm sorry.

Please hold on a little longer.

Pokemon Trainer Victor Headcanons

warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art credit

• The Sword of Galar Victor is known for stopping the Darkest Day with the help of Gloria and Hop

• A cynical, pessimistic, grouchy Galarian boy who could be really rude and profane at times

• Acts tough and mean on the outside but is actually a soft boi on the inside

• Although it doesn't seem like it, he's extremely emotional and quite the crybaby but is very bad at expressing them. He won't let you know that though

• Kind of a coward. If shit goes down and he scared as hell he's out. Unless he's pissed off. Expect him to come charging towards danger with a half-assed plan just to kick whoever's or whatever's ass

• Don't expect anything good coming out of his mouth about himself or anyone for that matter

• Acts like he doesn't give a shit about anything or anyone including himself

• But in reality he really cares a LOT about his friends, family, Pokemon, and all of Galar

• Gloria is his older twin sister and is practically his polar opposite in every way possible

• He didn't spend much time with her since his parents divorced when he was young and was taken into custody by his father, a renown Legendary Pokemon Hunter, and moved to Freezington where he grew up

• After a freak accident that took his father's life however he moved back to Postwick at the age of 12

• He finds his sister's energetic and optimistic nature annoying and is quite jealous of her. He feels inferior beside her due to how talented and loved she is compared to him so he acts somewhat of a jerk towards her. Despite this however he's very caring and protective of her

• Loves cooking, especially curry. He's a self-proclaimed professional curry chef and his favorite type of curry is Spicy Pasta Curry

• Loves rock and heavy metal

• Hates his Southern Galarian accent (similar sounding to our world's Scottish accent) and hides it by feigning the posh Galarian accent (which is similar sounding to the posh British accent). But he ends up slipping back to his true accent when he loses his temper

• Very clumsy and makes lots of mistakes when he's anxious or blind with rage

• His health isn't the best. He's born with a weak constitution and has a pretty poor immune system so he gets sick very easily and doesn't recover as quickly as most people

• He has the habit of wearing his battle gloves most of the time just for the sake of not touching people or things directly and, although not as often, wears a surgical mask when he's in populated places like the train station or stadiums

• His backpack is practically a pharmacy due to all the medicines and first aid items he has in it

• Physically weak and hates exercise, PE, and don't even get him started on sports

• The only sport he actually enjoys watching and plays for a bit is football (it's not called soccer you uncultured swine now sod off)

• This explains his deep connection with the legendary Pokemon

Pokemon Trainer Elio Headcanons

warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art credit

• Known as Alola's Light due to stopping the rampage of the Ultra Beasts and even bringing back the light in an alternative universe he stumbled into (USUM) after the events of SM

• Sunshine boi. He's so bright and positive. Rarely anything can bring him down with his optimistic attitude

• A people person. Elio loves meeting people and making new friends

• Energetic. Good luck trying to keep him seated in one spot

• His favorite drink is Komala Coffee but whatever you do, DO NOT give this boy any caffeine in general if you don't want to deal with hyperactive, whiny brat behavior for the whole day

• The only positive side to this is how quick he crash and burns after downing caffine

• An early bird. He always rises with the sun. Sometimes even before since he loves watching the sun rise

• Rarely ever awake past midnight though. Waking up at such early hours usually results in him going to bed early

• The youngest of the male protagonists

• Prefers joining his Pokemon in training as opposed to watching and commanding from the sidelines like helping Decidueye with its archery by playing the role as a moving target and wrestling with Crabominable

• Has a bit of a personal space issue

• A cat person. Loves all feline-like Pokemon

• Terrified of ghost type Pokemon and anything that deals with the supernatural

• Elio is pretty naive so he would believe anything no matter how farfetched they may be so it's pretty easy to prank or scare him

• Dislikes anything horror related (he's a scaredy Skitty)

• Can easily be manipulated by others

• Pretty big on Champions. He knows basically everything about previous and current Champions  throughout the Pokemon world since he follows most of them in social media, reads everything about them in books and magazines and constantly watches (and rewatches) their matches

• However he's a huge Red and Blue fanboy. He decided to become a Pokemon Trainer after watching their battle to become Kanto's Champion when he was a child and it made a big impression on him

• Enjoys helping others and making people feel better when they're feeling down

• However the same can't be said for him

• When Elio is feeling upset when he will hide away in his room for days and will reject anyone who tries to help him

• He has an irrational worry of feeling like a burden to others and simply doesn't want them to worry about him so he keeps these negative emotions to himself

• Has a bad habit of comparing himself to others. He always feels like he's not good enough so he ends up mimicking people he looks up to depending on the situation

• If he's in a tough battle he pulls his Red persona becoming more brave in a battle. If he's feeling nervous he pulls his Blue persona to reassure himself and act more confident and so on

• It's an odd but effective talent but this shows his lack of self-esteem which he tries to cover up from others

• His friends has told him before bit he still has yet to learn that there's no one out there better then being yourself

[local-cry-baby]

Pokemon Trainer Calem Headcanons

-warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art credit

• A shut-in like his manga counterpart. But for a different reason

• Unlike X who locks himself at home due to the pressure of the paparazzi Calem locks himself due to his severe social anxiety

• He gets so nervous of the possibility of having to speak to someone that he avoids going out altogether

• His parents are Kalosian but he was born and raised in Cerulean City, Kanto

• Extremely timid and quiet. The kids dubbed him as the "weird one" in the neighborhood

• Because of this school life was pretty harsh on him since a lot of his classmates bullied and made fun of him

• It came to a point where Calem dreaded and refused to go to school causing him to dropout

• He eventually moved to Kalos in a quiet town called Vaniville and was homeschooled from there on

• Has a speech impediment which is constant stuttering. Recently he took speech therapy for it so he doesn't stammer as much. However it usually resurfaces when he's nervous or scared

• Suffers from depression and has very low self-esteem

• The neighbors of Vaniville claim to have never seen him due to how closed off he is

• But Calem knows everyone in the neighborhood since he spends most of his time by his bedroom window

• A strange pastime of his is people watching. He can learn about a person's personality and lifestyle just by studying them from afar. It's easier that way then having to talk to them

• A hobby of his is painting and usually prefers landscape and portrait paintings

• Another hobby is practicing Ryhorn Racing. He's not really good at it and dislikes it but his mother doesn't realize that

• His mom tries to help him out with his anxiety but she doesn't seem to understand that shoving him into social situations is not the way to go. He somewhat appreciates her efforts but sometimes he wish she'll just stop

• Tries to gather up the courage to go outside but he ends up second guessing and giving up

• However that changed when he learn that Serena was going on her Pokemon adventure

• He knew her since she lives right next door to him and has developed a crush on her as a child

• So he ends up going after her without a second thought

• And immediately regrets it when Serena and her group of friends actually ends up dragging him along the way

• But the journey made him learn more about himself and open up a bit to the world

• He learns that he has a natural knack with Pokemon as he takes on the gyms and his rivals

• He becomes a completely different person when battling. He doesn't act like his usual shy and insecure self, instead he has a more bold and level headed attitude. Even his stuttering disappears when he's in the heat of a battle

• He also happens to have good leadership skills as he was the mastermind in planning the infiltration of Team Flare Secret HQ with his friends and certain Gym Leaders and stopping Lysandre. Because of this he is known as Kalos's Architect

• The events of X and Y made him grow becoming more confident in himself and although he still struggles with his social anxiety he is slowly overcoming it

I think you should add cuts to your posts, since one of your warnings is that your posts are long—Are you on mobile? Because if that’s the case you can add a cut by typing :readmore: and then hitting enter. This is more of a suggestion then anything else. Great writing!

I am in mobile actually and since I'm new to Tumblr I'm still trying to figure it out but thank you for your suggestion :) I'll try it and edit my previous post to do it

Pokemon Trainer Nate Headcanons

-warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art credit

• Unova's Paladin. He vowed his life to protect the region he loves

• Like his manga counterpart Nate is a member of the International Police with the codename BLACK-2 and work along side his superior LOOKER and partner DIA

• Although he's a 16 years old many confuse him for an 11 year old due to his short stature and baby face

• The good thing about this is how many underestimates him thinking he's just a little kid and not knowing he's a high-rank Interpol Agent

• Far too mature and serious for his age. Some people tell him to lighten up and relax a bit but it isn't that easy for him to do

• The shortest of the male protagonist. He stands at about 5'2

• Hates when people mention or make fun of his height. His temper is just as short as him

• A skilled battler and fighter. He knows many fighting style and has an affinity for Fighting type Pokemon

• Despite his disliking for his height he admits it gives him an upper hand for making him more lithe when fighting or dodging

• He's also quite flexible and can easily fit into tight spots whenever he needs to hide or sneak about in enemy territory

• Prefers working alone since he feels working in groups holds him back and hates the feeling of being responsible if others get hurt because of him or the possibility of letting them down. But he has grown more comfortable working with his team and formed a good relationship with them

• Although a bit reckless and conceited he has a very courageous and selfless side to him

• Surprisingly does way better when uninformed about a mission as opposed to getting exact details. Apparently the pressure of doing his best gets to him

• Hates Team Plasma and has a grudge against them. His father, who was an Interpol Agent himself, was killed by one of them during a mission in the events of BW

• Revenge is what fueled him to join the International Police to begin with (and to assist his friend Hugh in finding his sister's Purrloin)

• Loves ice cream, especially Casteliacones

• His mother is best friends with Hilbert's mother so he spend most of his childhood with him. He never really liked him though due to how much he bullied and teased him

• They're in better terms with each other but Hilbert still gets under his skin every now and then

• The "Bad Cop" in his duo with DIA

• He's not necessarily bad but he certainly is the no nonsense type and doesn't show mercy to criminals

• He's trained by Interpol Agent WHI-2

• Nate's personality make him stick out so it was vital that he learn how to blend in with a different personality when his mission involves spying. So he was trained to act more like a young and naive child, courtesy of Rosa and PokeStar Studios

• Although Nate dislikes deception and isn't one for acting he uses this facade when the time calls for it

• Thanks to Rosa for tricking him into appearing in one episode of PokeStar Studio's famous series "Brycen-Man" Nate has become rather popular and has an actual devoted fanbase for him

• It's...a little too much to him. Especially when he's better known as Riolu Boy from one episode of a series he despises and not the hero that saved Unova from permenately freezing. Painful irony

Pokemon Trainer Hilbert Headcanons

-warning;long and contains personal headcanons

• Unova's Anti-Hero. He's not like the other protagonist

• He seems to only do the right thing if it benefits him in anyway and his actions in doing so are...less honorable

• He's complicated to say the least

• He's quiet, mysterious, and serious yet careless, absurd, and humorous at the same time

• Like two sides of the same coin Hilbert is known for having what seems like a split personality making it all the more difficult to understand him

• But this is just his way of throwing people off and keep them guessing. Why he does it? No one really knows

• He can be brutally honest and have no regards of hurting other's feelings

• Or an expert liar and can easily convince people with his words

• This makes him a total con artist. He's known for tricking and manipulating others for his own benefits yet denies ever doing so

• He has an unusual knack for knowing when someone's lying or telling the truth. He's very observant and can easily detect even the slightest sign when someone's lying

• He's basically a human lie detector

• Besides his name and age not much is known about him. Super secretive, Hilbert rarely talks about himself (unless he happens to be bragging about his achievements)

• He's more interested in you. He happens to enjoy learning personal info on others to use it against them

• His childhood is an even bigger mystery. Not even his best friends know much about it. He barely even interacted with them at the time to begin with

• But some underlying behaviors and evidence indicates that his childhood wasn't a good one. And when asked about it he becomes extremely defensive about it

• Since both his parents are well-known Veteran trainers he learned about Pokemon battles at a young age. Fighting is basically in his blood

• The tallest out of all the male protagonists. He's stands a bit over 6 feet i refuse to accept the fact he's that short in Pokemon Masters

• Not the best person to be friends with

• He can be manipulative, indifferent and brutal to others and this behavior doesn't exclude even his closest friends and family

• But he's trying to be a better person and is sort of improving

• He's more caring and trustworthy now and, although not much, slightly more affectionate

• He's still very guarded with himself and keeps up with his bad guy persona though. There's nothing he dislikes more then being seen weak or vulnerable in front of others

• The only people he ever let his guard down and showed his more vulnerable side to is Bianca and N

• He seems to like N a lot

• Has a bitter rivalry with Hilda

• Loves slushie. His favorite flavor is black cherry

• Has an oral fixation. He's usually seen with something in his mouth. The most common thing are lollipops or toothpicks

• Quite the troublemaker. He likes to pick fights with others for the hell of it

• His favorite Pokemon are dark types and his battle style is hyper offense

• Has a habit of cheating in Pokemon battles. He uses certain tactics and items that some would deem dirty tricks but to Hilbert all is fair game

Pokemon Trainer Lucas Headcanons

art does not belong to me.if you know who the artwork belongs to tell me in the comments so i can credit them

I'm such a simp for this character

• Known as Sinnoh's Guardian and one of the three Saviors due to his actions in saving the region (and possibly the world) from Cyrus

• Too good for this world

• Very kind, polite and overall a lovable person

• His optimistic and sweet nature is pretty contagious. Most can't help but crack a small smile or feel slightly better when around him

• He has a preference for defensive Pokemon and is pretty tough-skinned himself. He rarely gets bruised or hurt

• He's very patient and easygoing. Barry can get so annoyed by it

• Having a connection with the lake legendary Mesprit he's very emotional and empathetic

• Like very empathetic. He absorbs every emotion another person is feeling like a sponge and it gets the best of him. If you're angry he's pissed, if you're crying he's tearing up beside you, if you're radiating excitement he's practically bouncing with joy

• This proves to be problematic though since it not only leaves him feeling exhausted at the end of the day but this can make him justify and even defend the worst kind of people

• It gets in the way of his better judgement and clouds his more logical side. He's currently learning to tone down

• Total foodie. Much like his manga counterpart he loves everything that deals with food. Eating, cooking, trying different cuisines

• He's probably the best cook out of the male protagonists

• Sensitive and insecure about his weight though... He's a bit on the chubby side

• Like his father he's gifted when it comes to music. He has a good sense of rhythm and tempo which makes it easier for him to compose

• His father taught him to play the piano at a very young age and recently taught himself how to play the saxophone

• His father is a jazz musician which explains his loves for the genre

• Though his father left home years ago and hasn't seen him since. He misses him sometimes

• Knows a lot about Pokemon Contest since his mother is a famous Pokemon Coordinator

• Use to participate in Junior Pokemon Contest as a kid but he suffered from stage fright so he eventually dropped it

• Overall he seems really harmless

• But looks are deceiving. So it comes as a surprise when others learn he's actually a high ranking secret agent of the International Police going by the codename 'DIA'

• Of course that bit of info is confidential so if you happen to know that then you most likely just been apprehended by him

• He works along side both Interpol Agents LOOKER and BLACK-2 when investigating on villainous organizations

• He's very valuable to the International Police due to his high intelligence and precognitive abilities

• Yes, Lucas can predict the future. An ability that was given to him by his patron legendary Dialga

• Of course it's not 100% accurate but this ability combined with his critical thinking and strategizing skills has yet to fail him

• He can also see into the past but that's much more difficult for him to do

• Despite all of this he's just too kindhearted for his own good

• He believes no one is born innately evil and believes any criminal should be given a second chance. Of course his superior and the Interpol are against this idea. Some criminals can't or deserve second chances

• He's pretty much the Good Cop in his duo with BLACK-2

Pokemon Trainer Brendan Headcanons

-warning;long and contains personal headcanon

art does not belong to me.if you know who the artwork belongs to please comment so i can credit them

• Bold and elegant Brendan is known as Hoenn's Prince due to his heroic act of saving the Hoenn region during the raging battle of Groudon and Kyogre and becoming one of the most famous Coordinators of the region

• Being the son of a well known Gym Leader Brendan was raised learning about Pokemon battles. Through this he grew to become a talented and powerful trainer at a young age

• But he never enjoyed it and showed little interest in Pokemon. He only went through with it since it was expected of him

• It wasn't until he participated in a mock Pokemon Contest that he found his true passion: Pokemon Coordinator

• His intrest in Pokemon was ignited the moment he tried it out. It took him a bit to accept this fact and feared angering his father but in the end he followed this path

• His father was a bit disappointed at first but seeing his son being truly happy and passionate for the first time was enough for him

• Has a love for fashion and buys the latest clothes. He follows models and fashion designer like Elesa and Valerie on social media so he's quite up to date with what's in

• With that comes his tendency to trash talk others with poor fashion sense. He doesn't mean to be rude really, he just can't help it

• Similar to Ethan he has a fascination for Western culture, specifically for Kalos

• He also seems interested in the Sinnoh region due to how popular Pokemon Contest are there

• Uses makeup often. Nothing too flashy but enough to enhance his look while covering unwanted blemishes

• Could never fit in with the "guys" no matter how hard he tries. He just doesn't find the appeal to whatever your average guy like

• Instead he enjoys hobbies and pastimes that are deemed "feminine" to society so he's a little insecure about this part of him since many people get the wrong assumption of him

• A charming sweetheart or a sassy bitch. There's no in between

• Pretty vain and prioritize his outward appearance too much

• Absolute neat freak. Always keeps his belongings and room organized and clean. The thought of something messy or imperfect will chew on him all day until he does something to fix it

• Started learning on how to make Contest Costumes thanks to Lisia

• Pretty boy combined with attractive personality makes him very popular with the ladies. It's a curse he claims

• Prefers cool and cute Pokemon since those are his favorite Contest categories

• Total drama queen

• Loves being the center of attention

• Mature for the most part but can be childish when in a bad mood

• Prone to complain when things don't go his way

•Hates being alone and can be super clingy

• His natural eye color is gray but lately he's been wearing red contact lens

• Has an irrational fear of gaining weight. He has a set weight and diet he maintains but it's really not neccessary

• Can be a bit manipulative when he wants to get things his way

• Can be hostile and aggressive when angered. It isn't pretty

• Has a small collection of stones and loves jewelry

Pokemon Trainer Ethan Headcanons

- warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art credit

• Cocky, flirty, attention seeker and overall dumbass are some words that could describe him best

• Loves money and craves popularity, which kind of makes him vain

• That doesn't necessarily mean he's a terrible person. He actually has a heart of gold

• He's warm, compassionate and generous towards his love ones and his friendly, open and positive nature attracts others around him making him quite a people person

• He is dubbed as the Luckiest Trainer in Johto because no matter what tight situation he gets himself in during a battle he always somehow makes it on top. His battle style practically depends on luck

• Unfortunately that luck is near non-existent when it comes to money and ladies

• He easily falls in love but he could never land a date. He's either rejected, slapped, or verbally eviscerated by them

• It's becoming a curse for him honestly

• He had a disliking for Red at the start thinking people overhyped and worshipped him far too much but upon meeting him on Mt. Silver his opinion on him changed

• But he takes huge pride over being the first trainer to beat him after his three years of being undefeated

•Like his manga counterpart he enjoys gambling and is basically addicted to it. He will spend hours at the Game Corner

• But since he has poor luck when it comes to money he's much more likely to gamble away all his savings and win nothing

• Has a bad habit of cheating when it comes to playing cards

• Loves flying so his main source of transportation is flying on Togekiss's back

• He comes from a family of breeders and his mother runs a Daycare in New Bark Town so he's pretty knowledgeable when it comes to it

• Has a bit of an obsession with Western culture especially with the Unova region

• So that makes him a...reverse weeaboo? Ameriboo? Freeaboo?? ...Unoboo???

• He listens to a lot of music from Unova and Galar and has a ton of fave bands from those regions

• He's been practicing his English (would it be called Galarian in this case though since Galar = England and England is the home of the English vernacular?) and is pretty serious about it

• Though he got a long way to go to perfect speaking the language

• Loves 70's and 80's music

• He actually owes a cassette player and has a bunch of cassettes filled with old music

• Hates when people say Kanto and Johto are the same. He's an extremely proud Johtonian and it drives him crazy when people confuse or worse, dubbed the two regions as one

• Don't even get him started if you confuse him for a Kantonian

• Doesn't like going to Kanto very much. He has nothing against it but due to the rocky history and relationship of the two regions the people don't take kindly to each other

• Super competitive when it comes to battling but he also knows when to lay back and have fun with it

• Kind of a pervert

• Blue and Red are like his older brothers to him

• Considered Silver an enemy but after the events of GSC/HGSS he seems to tolerate him more. They still don't get along very well and have an intense rivalry with each other

• Has a huge crush on Lyra but sadly the feelings aren't reciprocated since she's too busy shipping him with Silver or Red instead

Pokemon Trainer Red Headcanons

- warning;long and contains personal headcanons

art source

• Red is a quiet person which makes some people believe he's mute but that isn't the case

• His social skills just aren't the best and simply finds speaking unnecessary

• But Blue has stated Red is a chatterbox. It really depends on who he speaks to and what the topic of the conversation is

• So if you're someone Red likes or respects and you bring up a topic on something he enjoys (ex. battling) expect for this guy to practically talk your ears off

• Has a huge interest and passion in everything that deals with Pokemon

• His natural ability for Pokemon and battling has marked him as a prodigy trainer in Kanto at a young age making him famous worldwide

• But Red doesn't care for fame. He just loves what he does

• His natural hair color is black and his eyes are naturally crimson

• However he gets into the habit of dyeing his hair brown once he gets down from Mt. Silver and wears brown contact lens since he's insecure about his natural eye color (also it's trendy now in Kanto to wear color contacts)

• Hates fancy clothing and prefers simple outfits like jeans, sneakers, t-shirts and jackets. It drives Blue crazy sometimes

• Loves sweets and desserts, especially strawberry shortcake

• Anything strawberry or strawberry flavored is his favorite it seems

• Seems serious and frightening but is actually a soft dork

• Really kind to those he care about and more willing to meet new people then before. Although he doesn't play when it comes to battling them. He gives it his all no matter who you are

• Lowkey furry

• Still somewhat salty after losing to Ethan on Mt. Silver (it's karma, Blue tells him)

• He enjoys writing and owns a journal where he writes about his journey

• He's far more eloquent writing then speaking

• Sucks at expressing and understanding emotions which lead people to believe he's apathetic

• But Red's emotions are intense, so much so that he has issues dealing with them to begin with

• Instead he bottles them up which leads to him having sudden emotional and violent outbursts when pushed too far

• Really tries to understand how others feel

• Difficult to anger (unless you're Blue) but if you manage to piss him off he's coming for you

• Recklessly brave to the point of stupidity

• Extremely loyal but very vengeful when done wrong

• He already experienced what it's like to be wronged by his best friend and although he gave him a second chance he isn't one to be handing out chances

• So if you screw up with him expect him to make your life hell till he had enough of you

• Also you're dead to him

• He's known for being a silent battler. It leaves others wondering how a simple glance between him and his Pokemon is enough communication

• They chalked it down to him sharing a strong bond and understanding with them and that is the case...for the most part

• The actual truth is Red can understand and speak to Pokemon telepathically making him one of the rare few with this gift
