Maxie x Farmer Reader

Pokemon: numels (of course), camerupt

Gender neutral but implied female anatomy

Warning: Semi-NSFW implications.

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

It's Numel Time:

Tilling the soil as the Hoenn sun shines down upon your skin while cries of baby numels could be heard in the distance. What used to be a task occupied by your Camerupt and you was eventually accompanied by an, albeit, odd choice for a partner.

Yes, you feel for the oh so infamous red headed, red suit wearing, Magma Leader of Hoenn despite his almost world ending catastrophe. Hell you fell for him long before that. Being childhood "friends" certainly helped. As a shy young kid working on your families farm, when Maxie would come over to read, study, or simply watch the numels you weren't exactly the best at sneak watching him. You put friends in lose terms, more so you had your crush on him and he had his reasons of being around, but not by choice. Your parents were good business partners with his own and so he would accompany. Though when he would stop by it wasn't always distance between the two of you. He'd occasionally try and make small talk with you, while you just listened and nodded along. Eventually he caught on to that fact that you weren't one for answering back and, so he'd resort to just aimlessly talking to you just to have a reason to keep the silence away. Something told you by the way he was always made to study and read by his parents that he didn't have much if a social life either.

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

It was one quiet afternoon between the two of you all those years ago. You were caring for some older numels and he was silently reading next to you when eventually he broke the silence.

Maxie: You know, one of these days I'm going to make something of myself. . .Something that will really make my family proud.

You had stopped what you were doing to listen to Maxie. You knew Maxie to be serious for someone his age but this felt different. Silently you seated yourself next to him but at a comfortable distance.

Maxie: I'm not sure when, nor how but I know I can change this world for the better.

Maxie had stood up and held himself with determination. Staring off into the distance, watching the sun begin to set over the horizon you were too focused on him. His face twisted into a stern serious gaze. He was contemplating something but as per usual you were too shy to inquire. You only spoke a loud a soft, "do you believe so?". Maxie only glanced at you briefly and silently nodded in return. For a moment his stern look formed into a small smile when he looked at you but was gone in an instant when the two of you heard Maxie's parents calling out to him. It was time for him to return home.

Walking back to your home you noticed a change in Maxie. Even the way he walked had a new air of confidence that surrounded him. Approaching the home you noticed a few words were exchanged amongst both his parents and yours but once they saw the both of you the conversation had come to an end. Before Maxie stepped into his parents car he turned back to you.

Maxie: *pausing* . . . Listen to me (Y/N). You're the only one who I feel okay with sharing right now but one day I want to create a world that will benefit all people. Where our strengths and dreams have room to grow. . .

(Y/N): *softly* . . . okay?

Maxie: I want that dream to come true not only for me . . . but for you as well. . . I . .

His words were cut by the gruff sound of his father shouting at him from the car.

Maxie's Father: "Maxwell, we have no time for this let's go!"

Glancing back at you once more he gently patted the side of your shoulder and off he was into the car and even further away into the night. As the car grew smaller with each passing second, you stood waiting until the red colored Volkswagen faded into the distance. Your heart beat raced mad as your face became the same shade of red as Maxie's hair. A moment you'd cherish forever and one that would turn bittersweet as time passed on.

Unfortunately Maxie never came over to the farm since then. His mom or dad occasionally came by for business related ordeals but never Maxie. As the years went by and you grew older. You became curious as to what happened to your childhood crush and what he was up to. From what little interactions you had with his parents you could piece together that they probably chained him down to more studying and work in order to enter Hoenn's most prestigious of schools. You on the other hand were so busy with farm work that you ended up dropping out of public school just to maintain the family farm. Not that it was anything of a burden, you were destined for this role since birth but, that only solidified your ever growing distance with Maxie. You were pretty much ready to forfit all chances of ever seeing the red head again when his parents started growing gray hairs and he was still no where to be seen.

That was until one fateful day when one, used to be red headed boy turned man came into your life once more.

(Y/N): *dropping some bags of food and running up to Maxie* Maxie?? . . is that you?.

The man had grown up quiet a bit. His hair is significantly longer and his rounded boy glasses have become squared. His stern look and posture have deepened and you can't help but gawk at the outfit he's wearing. Oozing professionalism you felt so silly with your dirt covered overalls and and torn flannel.

(Y/N): . . ..oh wow. Now look at you. You've changed I see.

As Maxie stood before you he was making his own observations as well. You might not believe it but Maxie has been keeping you one his mind all these years too.

Maxie: Ha! The same can be said about yourself. . . no longer that shy little girl anymore, at least looks wize.

Maxie wasn't trying to be flirty more so just keenly observative. Still the comment made you blush mad as you weren't used to the voice that now accompanied this admittedly tall and handsome Maxie. Though it's not like you had room to argue. You were mostly dressed by your mom growing up which ment half the time you looked like a doll more so than a person. Now as an adult you wear your own clothes and that means wearing what's most practical for your farm life. Baggy overalls, and black work boots, a body fitting graphic tee with your families farm logo and a personal Red Flannel that hugged your body nicely. However, as much as you've changed outwardly, your shyness still reared it's ugly head to make a fool out of you.

Upon noticing your blushing face that you tried covering it up by playing with the hems of your flannel, Maxie quickly changed the subject. Even though he'd much rather not discuss this new topic.

Maxie: (Y/N), is your family home today?

(Y/N): hmm . . . oh! If you're talking about my Ma and Pa then yeah! . . .family. . . you don't need to be so formal Maxie you know it's just us remember?

It was Maxie's turn to be sheepish as he considered your words. Strange, although he's older he seems that much more quite. Looking at his face you noticed restraint. He's hiding something.

Maxie: Oh well . . If that's alright with you *clears throat* though I must say that this will be a formal conversation going forward.

You silently nod in agreement and go off to fetch your folks, leaving Maxie alone by the car. His posture remaining unchanged, but his face is now sullied with shame and regret.

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

Calling for your parents you had informed them that Maxie had come over. Although you were beaming with excitement to catch up with Maxie, your parents, mainly your father seemed rather hesitant.

Your Father: . . .Is he already here?

(Y/N): He is . . why? You seem a bit stressed?

With a heavy sigh from your father and a nervous glance from your mother the two of them made their way towards the door. From the hallway you observed them calling to Maxie and before you knew it Maxie was in your home, keeping mostly to himself and daring not to look at you.

The distant ticking of the grandfather clock was the only noise that could be heard as a bone chilling silence lingered for far longer than anyone would like to have it be. Your mother had long since retreated back into the kitchen and yet no noise could be heard either. She was hiding and as much ad you loved being able to sit beside Maxie you were beginning to envy your mothers kitchen hideaway. Your fathers stern gaze never left Maxie and Maxies own stern look never broke either. But something was different, behind that stern look you could see the cracks of a broken man. Eventually Maxie tried to bring some much needed conversation to the room but was immediately shot down by your father.

Maxie: If I may . .

Your Father: Don't. *he raises his hand slightly to signal him to keep his mouth shut* Words travel amongst these parts. May take us longer to hear but don't doubt that the news won't reach us. A man might be sitting in front of me but a boy none the less is all I see.

(Y/N): *confused* Dad what ar. .

Your Father: And I don't remember asking you to pipe up either! . . . sorry but right now we have ourselves a boy caught with his tail between his legs crawling back to the last sanctuary he probably has left on this planet. Isn't that right so called Leader of Team Magma?

Startled by your fathers sudden outburst you can't help but look at Maxie who's broken this psudo staring contest and has now got his head down in shame. Maxie was used to this, the angry confrontations from all the people he's hurt. It was a miracle that trainer kid and Champion Steven were able to forgive him so easily much less allow for him to walk away relatively clean. But Hoenn itself has become a prison for which he constantly feels the brutal judging gaze of everyone around him. The only one that felt natural was his mother. Confronting her was embarrassing in it's own right but ever the same she always judged him no matter what, so nearly ending the world was no different. Though Maxie saw himself a fool to believe that it would have been different between him and your family. When Maxie found the strength to hold himself together he was used to seeing that same disappointed look that now resides on your father but turning away he wasn't expecting the look on your face. Digust, anger, resentment sure he was used to all that but when it came to you, all you could do was look at him with a puzzled expression.

(Y/N): [internally] . . .Team Magma . . .Team . .  .Magma . . . now why on Arceus's green earth does that sound familiar yet I can't put a finger on it?!?

(Y/N): . . .okayyy I'm confused someone inform me please.

With a small blush dusting your cheeks you felt a bit embarrassed to be so blind to all of Hoenns chaos. You pretty much are a recluse as far as the definition goes. You don't have any friends, you rarely leave the farm unless it's to shop for supplies and as far as social media goes your off of it. Only browsing through farming blogs and other similar ones that are of interest to you. As you hear the explanation from your father you finally put two and two together. So that's why it was hot as balls a few weeks ago. And here you were believing that is was heat wave season again. Understandably you know why your father was so upset and why Maxie had been so distant but, you still didn't see the need for such harsh judgment. Hell it's not like he killed someone . . . hopefully.

(Y/N): *sheepishly* . . .look . .I'm sure this is just some misunderstanding right?

Your Father: And what is there to misunderstand?

Maxie:*to you* I ...I appreciate the concern but you don't need to defend me on your behalf.

Your Father: Good! Something I can agree with, now keep that mouth shut.

(Y/N): *angered* Now listen to yourself! If you keep shutting him up like that he's never gonna get a word in? *your hands bang against the table*

Your Father: *standing up* Exactly now I don't want no more word out of you or him. Whatever willy nilly explanation he has I don't want any part of it. I know why he's here, Pa passed away for him, ain't that right Maxie?

Maxie only nodded.

Your Father: Tsk. . .let me guess your Ma has sent you off to fill some shoes?

Again only silent nods.

Your Father: Knew it.

As your father started to leave you knew his stubborn walk away was an indication that the conversation was ending. But to hell were you going to let it end like that. Sure Maxie had taken whatever plan he had in mind too far but that doesn't mean he's some untrustworthy guy.

(Y/N): Now wait a minute! Don't you think this is all blown out of wack? I'm mean the guy is literally sitting right in front of us!!

Your father: and what are you trying to get at?

(Y/N): . . . well . . I mean. If he really is some terrible no good person shouldn't he be locked away? Rotting in jail? Why is he out free then? I'm sure a stunt like waking up some powerful Pokemon surely would have caught the attention of the champ. Right?

As your own anger was boiling over your father could only stare in amusement. You sure are his child alright. Even as you've grown into an adult you were, and always will be, just as stubborn as he is.

Though Maxie wasn't used to this version of you and was quick to try and dismiss your attempts at being his savior.

Maxie: . . Now now . .  I'm more than willing to listen to your fath . .

(Y/N): Maxie! Hush please!

Maxie: *shocked* okay.

Glaring back at your father you started your own stare down and this time you weren't too keen on losing.

Your father: Your really believe that?

(Y/N): Course I do! . . .yeah sucks that I haven't been able to see Maxie for all these years. But I never once believed that he could be a bad person. And if this is life giving him a second chance then why do we have to he the ones to snuff that out.

Your father looks over at Maxie who has remained nothing but calm and quiet during this whole ordeal. Looking back at you he can't help himself, as he draws out a long sigh before speaking.

Your Father: Well there is no denying that the Matsubusa household have been nothing but great clients on our end.

Your Father approaches Maxie and gives him a long hard stare. Maning him up in a sense he towers over him while using the table as a support.

Your Father: As I've already made aware you've got some big boots to fill and I mean real big. If I ever catch you lacking, slacking, or scheming oh I'll make sure they lock you up this time.

Maxie: I understand and I look forward to working with the (last name) family again.

You and Maxie both sighed with relief when your father left acknowledging Maxie's cooperation. Maxie felt inclined to leave pretty quickly after the exchange and honestly you couldn't blame him but you felt good knowing that Maxie would be coming by a lot more frequently again.

As the days passed to weeks and the weeks into months Maxie and you slowly built back what had been lost all those years ago. The beginning was still rough. Balancing being a leader of the newly reformed Team Magma and taking on his dads job of being business partners ment Maxie had his hands full. Though it wasn't as if you didn't interact at all. Bringing him food and water here and there, grabbing his coat when he entered the home and giving some fruit to his camerupt didn't go unnoticed by Maxie. These small details would be returned by Maxie and so on and so forth that the two of you started interacting more outside of just business stuff. He occasionally stayed for a bit to watch you work on the farm and take care of your own numels and Camerupt. Sometimes the sight of you working would linger in his mind long after he returned to his home. Eventually he'd volunteer his free time to spend it helping you. Albeit he isn't the most rough and tough kind of guy so his help is mostly easier tasks but you appreciated the effort none the less.

On a particularly quiet afternoon the sun was beginning to set and all the chores had pretty much been taken care of. The two of you were relaxing on a nearby fence post just taking in the silence of each others company. That was until you spoke up a bit teasingly, something that you've started to do just to see Maxie's reaction.

(Y/N): You know . . . I never forgot about what you said to me.

Maxie: Specifically?

(Y/N): Uh?? When we were kids! About the whole changing the world and doing it for you and me and everybody.

Maxie: *blushing slightly* Oh . . Right that.

(Y/N): *smirking* . . uh huh well I can definitely say that you went about it in a very VERY stupid way.

Maxie: *blushing in embarrassment*. . Ack!! Well changing the world is harder than it looks. *He gives you a stern glare* I'd like to see you coming up with a better plan.

You love seeing him like this. The way his glasses become lopsided while his voice stammers in embarrassment. But at the same time not just embarrassment either. You loved his looks for starters. He was indeed a handsome man now, but also his drive, his passion, and the way he saw the world as a place for people to grow. Damn if you didn't have some silly crush then you definitely had some sort of feelings for him now.

(Y/N): *laughing* well now. *teasing* the oh so Great and Powerful Maxie has his flaws. *you playfully snatch his glasses off his face before he has time to fix them.* and here I thought you were the smarter one between the too of us in this relationship. *you lean in a bit closer towards Maxie.*

Maxie took this as an opportunity to snatch his sight back but not before leaning in a bit closer to you too. Maxie wasn't dumb. No not at all. He was picking up your subtle signals and for once decided to play along to.

Maxie: *adjusting his glasses* hmpf. . . Suppose I am unintelligent . . . *he leans in a bit closer*. That would mean someone would have to teach me how the world works from now on. I don't believe you would mind if that person was you. Correct?

(Y/N): *smiling and laughing* No not all.

Maxie: *he leans in ever so closer* well perhaps you can start by explaining what you mean by "relationship".

It was your turn to blush mad now. You hadn't even realized you had said it. Being so in the moment it just sort of slipped out. Though . . . it's not as if you were denying it or anything.

(Y/N): *staring into his eyes* . . . what would you like it to mean?

Maxie could only stare back as he became fully entranced by your eyes. As the last colors of the sky faded to black Maxie in that moment let bold thoughts make bold decisions as he leaned forward to envelope you in a kiss.

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

That kiss was just the start of a long and happy relationship. Going on year seven Maxie had become a full fledged member of your Family and so have you to his. His farm life had become a lot more apparent even with his other Job of being the head of Team Magma's conservation group. Although his agricultural knowledge is not all there he has grown accustomed to helping out with yout numels. Something that he would never be opposed to doing. More time with his favorite Pokemon is something he adore les especially if its with you.

However, on this particular night one of the baby numels had wandered off a bit too far from the farm. As the night was starting to approach you had to take off on your Camerupt to try and find them before any wild Pokemon got to them first.

(Y/N): Darling Imma be out looking for that little guy. Man the fort for me in the meantime.

Maxie happily agreed to watch the rest of the little numels for you as you searched for the missing baby.

Maxie: Anything for you. *he kisses your hand* Just make sure the others keep to their pens and feed them correct?

(Y/N): You know it!

And off you went. With you gone Maxie turned to look at the numels currently in the barn. His confidence starter to sour when the sea of baby numels looked a lot larger than it normally does. Trying his best to round up the babies and put them in their respective pens proved to be a much more difficult task without you. Normally herding Pokemon is a two person task. He even tried improvising by letting out his Camerupt for support but the babies wouldn't budge. It was starting to agitate Maxie.

Numel: . . .nu .  numel

Maxie: *annoyed* Don't speak to me like that.

Numel: . . numel!! Nu .  nu numel!

Maxie: Oh please don't whine. .

Another numel started biting at his coat. While another one was starting to playfight with a few others. Eventually some more started belting out until all the numels were acting on their own accord.

Maxie: [to himself] . . perhaps I'm not stern enough?  *outloud* Alright that's enough from all of you! *he got close to one of the babies face trying to maintain a serious expression* We do this every night! We have a routine and that means go to your pens so that I may feed you! Hey!! Don't bite that!! . . .No wait! . . don't touch that .  no fighting!! Why won't any of you .. *OOF! THUD!!*

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

Returning back to the barn with the little in tow you weren't expecting the light to still be on, and you especially weren't prepared for the cackle of numels to be swarming your partner as he tried his best to protest.

(Y/N): Oh . . . what the fuck? . . .*notices Maxie's predicament on the floor* . .  . hehehe *snaps a photo*. But in all seriousness. *Shouting* Alright! Everyone get back in your pens come on lets go! GET!

Ushering each numel back in their pens your own Camerupt was there to help mediate. You made fast work trying to get each Numel back in their pen minus one rascal who was too preoccupied trying to make a snack out of Maxie's coat.

(Y/N): *shooing them away* Yep! I see you bud I know your hungry!

With the last numel in their pen Maxie took the responsibility of feeding each one of them while doing a fair bit of scolding to each one he fed. It was kind of adorable how easy it was for him to succumb to being swarmed by some baby numels.

Maxie: *Dusting off his coat* That should be all of them fed. I Apologize for not herding them as effectively as you did.

(Y/N): Oh none at all. *teasing* Besides I wouldn't have been able to snap this if you hadn't been swarmed.

You show him the picture you took of him being surrounded by the babies.

Maxie: *flustered* You delete that now!

(Y/N): *laughing while admiring the photo* Wow. . . Hopefully you're not this easily defeated when we have kids.

Maxie: *Grumpy* Yes well I . .  . what.

(Y/N): *Laughing* oh! No no no! Just teasing. No pregnancy here. . . *flirty* . . . not yet at least.

Maxie: *blushing* . . . I could assist in that . . .

(Y/N): tonight.

Maxie: tonight?

(Y/N): Right now?

Maxie: . . . .I don't see why not.

With smiles and love the two of you whisk away off to a more secluded part of the barn for a bit of some much needed alone time.

Archie x Insomniac Reader

Pokemon: Wingull

Gender Neutral Reader

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

Restless Tides

*peck peck peck*

(Y/N): *groan* . . stop

*peck peck peck*

(Y/N): . . .*shifts in bed* . . .enough . please . . go back on your perch . . .

Your wingull lets out a high pitched squack that forces your eyes open. Sitting up you look at your Wingull with tired eyes and begin to question were it all went wrong. Not daring to look at the clock in your room you postion yourself upright on the side of your bed. Rubbing your eyes until they sting your Wingull looks at you with anticipation.

With a stretch and a pop of your back you let out a hellish groan signaling you were awake.

(Y/N): *with a tired voice* fine . . fine! *you shake your head and hoist yourself off the bed* . . .I mean screw me for trying to get some sleep for ONCE!

Pacing around the room you go about your normal routine. Washing your face, changing into a fresher uniform, and trying to wrangle with the nest of hair that sits atop your head.

With yourself ready and your wingull chomping at the bit to start the day you open your door and the two of you set off, first towards the kitchen. Heavy steps made contact with the metal staircase. A large yawn escaping your lips as your wingull sat perched on your shoulder happily preening his feathers. With every step you took you felt your tired body weighing you down. The last step nearly had you on your knees as you shuffled mindless towards the kitchen. Even in the dark you've managed to find your way around it. Having done this countless nights before, you've need not for the hallway light to guide you to your location.

Stumbling into the large cafeteria, avoiding the rows of tables and chairs, only your legs occasionally brushing up against them, eventually you found the kitchen door. Opening it, wingull was the first one to enter, flying around the room before landing on the toaster. With the same tired and heavy steps you went to the fridge door. With the door wide open it was a happy sight to behold not to mention the cool air hitting your morning skin was pulling you back to dream world. But a squack and a peck your wingull become a reminder that good things don't last forever and so you quickly grabbed whatever you needed and began going to work. With only the fridge light as your guide you grabbed some salami, chesse, lettuce, some mustard here, some mayo there. You sloppy constructed the perfect morning sandwich, and it was perfect. Feeling the soft slices of bread mold around yoyr finger tips, how small cheese corners stuck out of the sides begging you to take a bite from them first. Lifting the sandwich up to your lips your actions stopped dead in their tracks the second the overhead light flashed on and you quickly shut your eyes to the sudden brightness. Stumbling back a bit you used your arms to shield the light while your Wingull dashed in a startled flurry squaking up a storm in the kitchen.

Eventually you peeled your arms off your face and your eyes could start adjusting to the florescent world around you. Grabbing onto the ledge of the counter for support you crane your head towards the kitchen door to get a good look at the perpetrator. Though your eyes didn't need to see clearly to know why was standing in the door frame.

Strong build, sharp beard, and his signature wetsuit that left of so very little to the imagination, topped with that large anchor medallion that jinggled with each step he took. Approaching you, Archie only stopped when he was meer inches away from your own frame.

Standing tall, proud and imposing, he sized you up as his arm crossed over his chest. Even though his body language indicated stern authority you weren't expecting a gentle, well gentle for Archie, sound escape his lips.

Archie: "So. . . watcha doing there scamp?"

Still gripping the counter you right arm palmed the sandwich and lazily displayed it to him.

Archie: *with a stiffiled laugh* At 3 am?

Shaking your head once more, your wingull had long since stopped his squaking and had found comfort in building a nest in your hair.

(Y/N): "tell that to HIM!" *you say pointing at your wingull*

Wingull: *squack*

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

Archie tries to be a good leader, a great leader even! And that's not to say he isn't he just has this need in him. This strong burning passion to be better than who he was before. He's already grateful for his crew still sticking by his side when he wasn't sure he deserved it. So that's why when Team Aqua's plans had to shift into less world ending ones, he made sure to keep his crew right by his side every step of the way.

This ment he was also sort of acting more lile the "Team Dad" in these past few months picking up on the crews habits and behaviors. Making sure the grunts felt comfortable and safe within the bases halls and yes that also ment keeping an eye on a certain grunt who's gained the infamous nickname "the shadow of the night". Tis a hard mystery as to whom bares that title.

Yeah so your night escapades weren't exactly well hidden. There has been more than enough chatter about the supposed "creature" that goes thump in the night. You with your loud footsteps hobbling down the rusty iron steps. You with your tendency to leave doors open and things out being too tired to put them away before the morning woke the others. Of course the other grunts were to oblivious as to who it could be but Archie being leader and all could definitely tell when one of his grunts was "performing up to code". Falling asleep in the most random locations, eyes barely awake when called in to do morning missions, how your feet dragged to and fro around the base all while trying to maintain some semblance of a decent appearance.

Looking at you now Archie could tell you weren't trying to do this on purpose. No you and him were a lot more like each other than you might believe.

Archie: *Archie ushering you over to a table* 'Right let's get you seated.

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

As your body plomped into the seat you were too tired to even try and lift up your sandwich anymore. Resulting in you taking too little bites and chewing ever so slowly. Or maybe you just weren't hungry as you tried your best to force yourself to swallow. Tired, bored? Didn't matter at this point you were just trying to do something, anything to make the time go faster. All except going to sleep. You couldn't help it, been like this for far too long thag if yoy tried forcing yourself to bed you'd either spend the majority of it scrolling on your phone, or your wingull would be right there to drag you out of bed. He couldn't help it either. You ended up forcing this life style on him and you'd constantly keep him up too. Having been bored with the silence you ended up keeping wingull awake just to keep you company. Now the both of you had insomnia and neither one of you allowed the other to sleep. And now aimlessly wandering the base was the only thing keeping you sane.

As Archie observed your slow tired chewing he finally spoke up.

Archie: "Can't sleep either?"

Stopping for a moment you indicated to Archie you weren't really up for talking.

Archie: "Alright alright! Too busy chewing but let me guess you're not doing this because your hungry either."

Pitifully you drop the sandwich on your plate as wingull made quick haste to peck at the bread crumbs.

(Y/N): *through a mouth full of food* yeah so I've always been up at night doing fuck all to pass the time, big deal. . .what's your excuse. . .

Archie had to ponder for a moment. It's not like it's a secret that awakening a giant kaiju whale and becoming possessed and almost destroying the world wouldn't sit easy on a person. Though stressful sleep was something Archie always had when it came to running this team. He just wanted the best for everyone and that was enough to keep him awake at nights. Certainly didn't help none that when his plans feel through.

Archie not being one to be a stick in the mud still had it in him to laugh at your quick retort. Still hesitantly he kept his woes to himself, as some things are better left unsaid right now.

Archie: "guess it's the same on my end . . . I've always been up too, but that doesn't mean you have to be ransacking the kitchen either. . . specially since I ain't seein' you clean up after yourself."

With an annoyed eyeroll it was hard to deny that. Even still eating late at night was the only thing that kept yoh busy so with a sigh and your own arms crossed you ask.

(Y/N): "got any better ideas then?"

This was where Archie agreed that showing and less telling is more his style.

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

Walking towards the side of the Cafeteria and large outdoor seating area overlooking the Hoenn bay awaited you. Pulling out a chair the both of you sat in soft silence as you wingull stretched his wings and flew overhead to enjoy the morning breeze. Soft beach waves could be heard crashing along the shore as the gentle sun began to creep overhead.

Archie: "I try comin' out here when I can't sleep."

(Y/N): "oh really? . . . it's nice."

Curling up in your chair your body heat mixed with the cold air made for a soft comfort thag enveloped your body. Not a sound could be heard this early except for the ocean. Gazing around you this simple gracefully scene was starting to do wonders on your body. Resting your head on the glass table was the enough to do you in. As you closed your eyes to enjoy the calm you soon found yourself drifting off. The last thing you felt was a strong arm gently resting on your shoulder before you fell asleep.

With his busy life and terrible sleep schedule you partner Colress has a tendency to fall asleep at his desk.

Since you can't just move him you've decided to help in out in other ways. . .

He appreciates the gesture when he wakes up to a blanket draped over him and a cup of fresh coffee is waiting for him in the morning.

Of course you have a matching pair as well!

Although there weren't that many verbal "thank yous" on his end, you can see him wearing them every day after he's done from work.

Colress x Sick Reader

Pokemon: Tyrantrum, Rookidee, Mienfoo, Gastly

Gender neutral reader

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

A Potion a Day Keeps the Nurse Joy Away:

Being Colress's lab partner came with its it's many many Pros. . . and also many many Cons.

The Pros! Being just as enthusiastic as he was to learn about the strange creatures that inhabited your home made for plenty of fun interactions between the two of you! You swore you never knew a day of boredom after you made eachothers partnership official. From the tallest Onix to the smallest sunkern, the two of you spent many a days traveling around the world and discovering the true power of Pokemon.

Speaking of Pokemon another Pro was the Pokemon themselves. With so many Pokemon to research and so many more yet to be discovered you were more worried you wouldn't have the time to discover them all.

Though not to keep this Pro train a-chuging any longer one of the major downsides to being Colress's partner . . . was also the Pokemon.

Yeah so when you're constantly being surrounded by creatures that can literally spread fire by simply kicking a rock, to creatures that can steal your soul if you stare at the wrong side of it, you were in plenty of dangerous situations at all times. Not that you worried since Colress and you were capable adults. Not to mention that your former boss was a bit eccentric in his own right.

I mean it was a little bit harder to not have his influence rub off on you just a tad. Being Kukui's understudy, before meeting Colress, ment you were exposed to a lot of his "training methods" involving his Lycanroc using his moves on Kukui's literal body! It had desensitized you more than others and once you "left the nest" and started researching on your own it never occurred to you how dangerous Pokemon could actually be if they weren't holding back. Whether they were wild or tamed, you would soon be reminded of these dangers.

That brings you to the present, with your own partner feeling just as apathetic about Pokemon attacks as Kukui was. In the sense that Colress never seemed to show, worry when flashy or powerful attacks would be shown to him. You don't even recall ever seeing him flinch! And so you didn't either. . . even if there were a few close calls. You still remember how jelly your legs felt after that one trainer and her donphan managed to pull off a Cat. 9 Magnitude in a battle.

*Drip Drip Drip Drop*

Hearing the last droplets hit the freshly brewed coffee, you picked up both mugs and headed towards the miniature garden were Colress was already up and at the ready joting down all the information he can gather on your own Pokemon. Sometimes you wondered if he ever slept. As the glass door slides open, the cool morning breeze hitting your skin, you set both cups down on the table and happily observe Colress until he turns around and notices you.

Colress: *taking his eyes off for a second and realizing you're beside him* . .Oh!! Why good morning! The thrill of learning must have brought you out here as well.

(Y/N): *chuckling* hardly! More concerned about whether these four have kept you up or not. I made coffee, I'm sure you need it.

Staring out into the garden your Montley crew of Pokemon were battling and showing off their moves. A Tyrantrum, a Rookidee, a Mienfoo, and the final of the bunch one Gastley. Quite the interesting dynamic but each one perfect for you. Having traveled a lot you found each friend from every corner you've been too. Nothing in particular made you catch them, only if they showed interest in being your Pokemon did you let them join your journey. Which made it all the more better for Colress. Having such a wide range allowed for him and you to study these types without needing to leave the lab a whole lot. So on your off days, just like this one, Colress spent most of the day training with your Pokemon and you were happy to observe him. That was until Colress had a "wonderful" idea cooking up in that brain of his.

Colress: *Between Gulps and Sips* . . mmph . .uh . . I was thimkin . . why not havm you . . trainin . . withm em

(Y/N): *Gently taking the mug out of his hand* . . woah woah hahaha slow down. Oof maybe coffee wasn't the right choice.

Colress: *Beaming with delight* . . oh pardon me I just get these ideas that I must share .  uh anyways! Yeah why don't you go right out there and experience it for yourself!

(Y/N): *Intrigued* oh really? Why do you say that?

Colress: Well we won't really know for sure their true power if were standing here!

(Y/N): *smirks* and why do I have to be the ome to go out there? *you say gesturing to your Pokemons location*

Colress: *adjusting his glasses* because someone needs to write down the results and you, if I recall, are there trainer so you are the best for controlling them. *he says while playfully wagging his finger at you*

Pondering for a moment you let out a sigh and pat the sides your thighs.

(Y/N): Welp! . . Can't argue with that. *You smile at him for a moment* Guess we'll never know huh?

And with that you head towards your Pokemon as Colress keeps his distance right on the patio. All seems well at first your Pokemon stopping for a moment to rush up to you. Sniffing and playing with you in hopes they'd receive some sort of treats but you tell them to just continue what they were doing. They wait for a bit before turning back and continuing their "stuff". Walking around you realize that Colress was right. This was a totally different experience then just standing around and observing from a far. Feeling the vibrations of "Earthquake" beneath your feet from Tyrantrum, feeling bursts if wind rush past you from "air slashes" from rookidee. You felt pulsing energy emiting from your Mienfoo's high jump kicks and Gastly was having a blast throwing around sludge bombs. You've never been able to get a clear picture of all these moves. Even in battles the energy and power seemed out of arms length but in the midst of it you were elevated to a whole new level.

Everywhere you looked and everywhere you turned you felt the power of your Pokemon and they weren't even going full force either. It was mesmerizing, maybe a bit too much so, as you did a whole lot of "looking" and not enough "paying attention". With your back turned to your playful Gastly they were too distracted in their own right. Firing sludge bombs in all directions it was bound to happen that one ended up hitting you.

As all action in the room halted like a stopped record, your Pokemon rushed to their trainer bewildered about what to do. It was at this moment when Colress stopped standing like stunned Sawbuck and ran over to help you as well. As dark blackish-purple goo dripped off your back luckily it didn't directly touch your skin. Even still the stench was enough to waft into your nose and soak into your senses. It was nauseating and vomit you did. You felt dizzy, lightheaded, and all out of breath as Colress did his best to wipe away the sludge from your back. But despite his best efforts the sludge had seeped in enough. After a few more fits of vomiting, the two of you didn't have to be genius's to conclude that you were indeed sick.

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

Rushing your body back inside Colress brought you into his room and layed you on his bed. Your room being preoccupied with plushies and other "collectable merch" he knows you'd throw a fit if you barfed all over your stuff. Besides his bed was right next to his desk were Colress is able to look up how to help you while he kept an eye on your condition. With only thirty minutes of searching the web and helping to hold your hair twice as you vomited into a nearby trash can, Colress was able to deduce that your condition was not worth seeing a medical professional for. Unless you really wanted to go, the poison was only affecting you in an airborne sense. So fresh air and plenty of water should get it out of your system in a few days time.

This. . .wasn't the most ideal for you. Number one you weren't planning on getting sick especially one that caused you to be bed ridden. And two . . . well Colress. .oh Colress. You loved him and he is no doubt a fantastic lab partner but . . . hospitality isn't his top priority on many lists. So when it comes to tackling problems he takes things on a more logical approach (go figure) and human compassion is almost always secondary. Looking up at the man who was currently holding your hair back for a third time you saw an oh so so familiar gleam in his eyes that almost made you want to barf at whatever ideas Colress had in store for you.

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

Okay so it wasn't complete hell but it was no bed and breakfast thats for sure. Two days had passed and although the poison was starting to subside on its own, Colress was busy playing Doctor, well medical Doctor, testing out a bunch of different remedies and the such that he found on the internet. From soups, to stretching, to whatever he could blend in a blender the man tried everything! Except for actually buying a medicine that could cure your ailment much faster.

(Y/N): *cramping in pain on the bed* . . ughh . .hngg . . can't you just . . cure the damn poison already???

Colress: *A bit hurt* . . what? No! This is all so fascinating, we can't just pass up an opportunity like this. Besides you're providing interesting information already! *giddy as he types away on his tablet* Look I found that before you vomit your face turns flushed, almost as pale as my bed sheets, but! Get this! Your nose and ears turn beat red! I wonder if the poison has any adverse side effects that would cause your blood to rush to those areas?

Flipping over you burritoed yourself into his silken sheets realizing that he was too caught up in his own world right now. Classic Colress, but it wasn't as if he didn't completely care about you. As much as he got distracted by the unimportant things he was still there to hold your hair and your hands if you were having a harder time battling the poison. He was there to clean you up, feed you (to the best of his abilities) and care for your Pokemon as well as his own. He never fussed or complained that you accidentally got puke on his sheets and always was by your side to ease your pain even if that ment taking breaks to watch TV with you or talk about sweet nothings to distract your mind.

It was strange how he could be so caught up in his own work yet still be present enough to care for you in his own little ways. That warm feeling of comfort you got from just thinking about him lulled you into some much needed sleep that night.

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

As the fourth day approached you were better enough to move around and get some fresh air from outdoors. Still Colress was there to help you as he held your body and guided you towards the yard.

Sitting down the two of you soaked in the morning sun, enjoying the peaceful silence until you spoke out.

(Y/N): *a slight chuckle escapes your lips* . . . you know . . I should really throw you in there next time . . *you look up at him* . . see how you fair.

Colress: *his cheeks flush red, knowing it was partially his fault for getting you sick* hahaha well . . .*he scratches the back of his head* . . . would you have helped me?

(Y/N): *you give him a curious glance before laughing a loud* hahahha hmpf . . probably not. Not in the way you've done for me at least. *you playfully poke his arm*

Colress: *in disbelief he fains being offended. Crossing his arms in a playful pout only to laugh as you are* . . rude!! And after all I've done for you.

(Y/N): *giggles* Oh don't take it to heart . . . it's not out of malicious intent. . .just wouldn't have been able to figure it out as fast as you did. I would have probably just rushed you over to the nearest Pokemon center and have them look at you . . . *your voice trails off on that last part*

Colress looks at you for a moment, his eyes studying your sudden dampered mood. He pulls you in a bit closer and gently strokes the side of your face.

Colress:  . . . is that so?

Your own eyes turn to face him, his warm yellow eyes lightly a gentle fire in your soul.

(Y/N): *you take hid hand and hold it with your own, gently your fingers run small circles across his* . . . yes . . but I would be there to hold your hand every step of the way. *your face a now blushing mess*

Colress: *a soft smile appears on his face as he brings your body ever closer to lean against his*. . . I would like that.

Oh man Ink everywhere! On his desk. On his notes! Your little buddy just wants to have fun and this is how they express it. . .

Much to your partners dismay.

One of these particular incidents was the last straw for your science lover and, without thinking, he flipped over your Inkay to try and scold them . . .

Only to realize that once Inkay started glowing, Colress had created a bigger problem for himself.

You had to laugh when you walked into the room to find Colress being squashed by your now Malamar who was happy as can be and still spraying ink everywhere.

Colress x Insomniac Reader

Pokemon: (Prinplup, Basculin)

Gender neutral reader

🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤🥼💤

Bad Habits

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight"

"And One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight"

"And One, Two, Three, Four . . ."

Your voice repeating this steady tempo, echoing off the walls of the pool room in your laboratory. The sounds of splishing and splashing filled the room while your Prinplup, and Basculin glided effortlessly around the lap pool. A single screen illuminated the room recording the heartbeat and breathing of your Pokemon. The monitor beeping in tandem with your voice collecting bits and bytes of data.

You are a water type trainer and a researcher above all! Calm, poised, and you carried a  high amount of passion that alerted the attention of a certain scientist that you'd eventually find yourself partnering up with. Now with a shared lab you have this whole Pool as your playground to test water type Pokemon as you please!

As your Pokemon made laps around the pool your train of thought became interrupted by the booming sound of a metal door violently swinging open and hitting the concrete wall behind you.

Colress: "There you are!! Have you any idea how long I've been trying to find you!??"

Stopping in your tracks your Pokemon followed suit messing up the data in the process.

(Y/N): ". . .oh no!! My data is being all messed up Colressss!! *you whined*

Colress: *Colress himself paused at the display before him as he tried to find the lightswitch. Puzzled he speaks out.* "What are you doing??. ."

(Y/N): *With a playful pout you look back at him*. "What do you think genius?? I'm trying to see which one swims faster while simultaneously trying to collect data on which one has the better endurance!!" *you say while trying to finagle with your laptop*

Colress could only look back at you with an annoyed glance. Only then sighing heavily and speaking allowed with a concerned yell.

Colress: "At 4:01 in the morning??!?!"

You swore a tumbleweed passed by as you sat on the semi wet concrete trying to piece together what Colress said. Without windows in the room it was a lot harder to keep track of the time. . . well . you weren't actually all that good with keeping track of it normally.

(Y/N): " . . . oh."

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

With the morning sun casting its light through the windows of the lab. The two of you sat at opposite ends of the dining room table. A bowl of cereal for Colress and a single coffee for you. With your Pokemon running past to go play around the lab Colress was ever so slightly staring you down like a father who caught their child sneaking out.

Not that the scientist had annyyyyyy room to talk given his track record of staying up late to tinker away at his machines and gizmos.

Though compared to you, oh man, you were on a whole other level of trouble or so Colress would believe. To him your inability to pay attention to the time, and staying up at Arceus forbidden hours, had intrigued him. So much so that your bad habits became quantifiable.

And so he decided to collect away! Pages of pages of data all surrounding your bad sleeping habits. In the end Colress would conclude that this was no longer just a "few moments". No. Whatever was causing you to act out like this had to have been an underlying condition of some sort.

What exactly were you doing to have this scientist on high alert around you? Well, the thousands of energy drinks you've grown accustomed to consuming everyday was red flag number one. What started as one drink every once in a while, turned to one a day, then spiralled into two, then three than so on and so forth. If Colress got a sample of your blood he would probably find trace amounts of Caffeine in there. He's starting to worry that if he cuts you off your heartbeat would cease to beat with how much you rely on those drinks to keep you up during the day.

Red flag number two is the kinds of foods you eat or lack there of. If you aren't drinking you're eating and nothing good as he would observe. Not to sound like an overbearing mother but he doesn't believe that a single yogurt cup and a candy bar is enough food to keep you active in a day.

And then came red flag number three. Sis. It's the passing out in random ass locations for him. No seriously finding you asleep draped over your desk or worse straight up oonthe floor was making him wonder how the hell you haven't destroyed your back in the process.

Welp three strikes and you're out and so Colress drops the spoon in his bowl signaling the completion of his morning meal. Standing up he makes his way towards you with a sly smirk on his face that you are all too familiar with.

Colress: "Okay . . how am I going to fix" *He gestures at you* . . .this."

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

Then along came the endless testing, trials, and new routines that Colress fired up for you to try out.

And yeah it wasn't easy to say the least. Sure Colress is a Doctor but not of the medical variety so you were a bit hesitant to say the least about whatever your lab partner had in store for you.

First things first, easy changes. . . like changing your mattress and pillows!

Whoops did he say easy? Because last time you checked finding a new mattress for you wasn't easy. But then again this is Colress you're dealing with. Easy? Nope Colress doesn't do easy!

Try some tea to help you sleep? Ha! Childs play, lets just uproot your whole bed frame in the process why don't we! Walking into the local Mattress dealer Colress was running around like a kid in a candy store over analyzing and pestering the poor works. Asking endless questions about "which mattres is the most optimal for sleeping on your side?", "how about back!", "What is the difference between firm and soft? And what do you think is better (Y/N)?"

Colress was having fun, and you were very much not, and you would have preferred to go home and hour ago! Well the fun only escalated when Colress found you a water bed to lay on.

Colress: "Well isn't this just the perfect option for you my water assistant!"

(Y/N): "Colress no."

Colress: "Colress yes!! Oh come on! Just lay here see! You know I've been looking into it and they have done studies that say that water beds have a increased chance at producing better quality of sleep especially with people who have bad backs. Now knowing your current sleeping habits I'm shocked your back isn't in anymore pain than it already is. This is a perfect mattress for you!"

Looking at Colress who is happily explaining away all the micro details about how great a water mattress is your tired body was starting to get the better of you.

Colress: "So what do you think? Sounds very enticing if I do say so myself!"

(Y/N): " . . . if I say sure can we go home!"

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

Even as the new mattress was being put into your room that still didn't stop Colress from trying a multitude of different things just to try and get you to sleep.

The aforementioned tea was tried with no major changes to how you slept. Different foods were next on the drawing board from trying new recipes to scarfing down berries that "supposedly" were to help make you sleep better. And those shared similar results.

From working out, to swimming laps around the pool, trying psychic pokemon to sleep powder from a butterfree nothing and we mean NOTHING was helping. You were frustrated and Colress was frustratingly intrigued by your bodies rejection to pretty much every experiment that he threw your way.

Colress: ". . . dare we try the berries again?"

(Y/N): "No we don't!"

You say annoyed, you understand that Colress only wants the best for you. Otherwise he risks putting you in an early grave. . . okay maybe not so dramatic but surely all this staying up and lack of sleep couldn't bw good to you health wise. But Colress was starting to feel bad at himself. Was he failing you?

Colress: "Well there must be something that can be done to help" *Colress says while following after you* ". . I'm just not sure what it is yet . . ."

Colress wasn't one to admit defeat but you knew him well enough that the tone in his voice and the way he frantically looked through his note for answers was a sign that he was starting to feel guilty.

(Y/N): "I appreciate it, really I do!" *You say while grabbing his hands. Gently you rub them to ease his frantic thoughts* ". . .I'm not sure why I'm not getting better . . but if it makes you feel better the water bed isn't so bad . . I guess."

Colress gave off a small smile in appreciation. With the sun finally setting off in the distance as the sky turned from orange to black. The two of you decided that whatever experiments Colress still had in store could be explored tomorrow.

Colress: "lets get you to bed. ."

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

As you climbed into bed, feeling the curve of the mattress fold around your body, you lay in soft silence as Colress makes his way over to the door and turns off your light.

Colress: ". . get some rest . . or well I hope you can try to tonight"

Before Colress fully leaves you call out to him.

(Y/N): "Wait . ." *Colress turns back to look at you* ". . there's still one thing we can try"

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

Well this is a bit awkward. Curse you and your big mouth. Laying in silence with Colress to your left the poor man is stiff as a board not wanting to make things worse. Him. . in bed . . next to you?? Does he . . what?? What does he do??? Does he move? . Dare he lay on his side? Stare at you? No thats creepy!! . .but . . what if you want to look at each other? . no no no definitely not? . ..maybe? No!! But what does he do??? . . him    .  bed . .with you?

If you could hear it the poor man is currently screaming internally as he lays next to you. Not that he has anything against this its just .

Well . . your amazing and a great partner and he maybe secretly has some sort of feelings towards you that are definitely being felt right now as he lays next to you but he also doesn't want to be a MEGA WEIRDO and make you uncomfortable so he is just laying like a dead man and agdjiaiahs s help. Help him please.

As Colress is panicking you're too tired and too frustrated to let this continue any further and so taking the first step you gently shift ever closer to him and just . . wrap yourself around him. Not in a huge way or in a way to make it uncomfortable, but just a nice gentle hug of some sorts.

Like a glitch on a computer Colress's stream of conscious is cut short on the initial contact but then his thoughts snap back into place when he gazes down at you. Calm, and peaceful. A look he hasn't seen on you before in terms of sleeping. A minute that feels like thirty Colress finally speaks out.

Colress: ". . .do you want me to move?"

(Y/N): *mumbling into this side* "Oh my GOD! Colress!! I don't care just shhhh!!"

And with that Colress felt comfortable to let out a soft chuckle as he shifted better into the bed while he pulled the covers over your bodies.

Colress: *staring at your form. The way your arm gently hugs his body. How your hair frames your face. It was all enough to make his heart beat faster as a gentle warmth graced his body* ". . . may I ask how you're feeling?"

(Y/N) "*tired* . . hmmph"

Colress: *he chuckles softly* ". . .comfortable?"

You nod slightly into his side.

Colress: "Well. I guess this could be another experiment!" *he says while picking up his tablet from the night stand. He starts jotting down some points only to have you interrupt him with a pillow to his face.*

(Y/N): *mumbling* . .oh my god . . jusss . go to seeep . . .*

Colress: hahah what??

(Y/N): "For the love of!!" *You softly sit up to snatch the tablet form his bed. With a pout you write in his notes.* "See there you go! [Colress in bed + (Y/N) in bed = good sleepy feelings] boom!!! Experiment complete. . ." *you say with a long yawn as you snuggle back into Colress's side.

Colress: *with a gentle smile as he runs his fingers through your hair. To be honest Colress was starting to drift off too.* haha . . oh your math intrigues me. ."

(Y/N): "Yeah. . Yeah *Yawn* . . whatever . .Good night Colress . . ."

Colress: "Goodnight (Y/N)."

And with that the two of you trail off into slumber. Embracing each other as the night turned to morning. Waking up was almost a curse as this was the best sleep you've had in a long time. Guess you'll need to sleep with Colress more often. Not that there was any protest on either end.

No Rest for the Wicked

Pokemon: Baltoy

Gender Neutral Reader

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

*Tap Tap Tap*

*Click Click Click*

*Tap. Click. Tap. Click. Tap*

A long sigh drew from Maxie's mouth as his left hand went to rest upon his temple in concerning frustration.

Maxie: "(Y/N). . Do you know why I've called you in today."

(Y/N): *Trying to maintain what little good appearance you had left, a long yawn escaped your lips while your body craddled stacks of notepads, journals, and papers* ". . . I thought I did . . but something tells me that I might have gotten the wrong impression"

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

As the clock ticked on in the background Maxie was sitting at his desk. Sharp, neat, and not a pencil out of place. He was staring daggers into you. Normally grunts would bring about the same level of spick and span attitude when called to have a personal meeting with Leader Maxie. There was order that couldn't be shaken that was until you started showing up. At least in recent times. At some point you were like the other grunts. You were collected and attentive and respected this order. But as time went on that grasp was starting to lose grip.

As Maxie observed what was sitting in front of him he was growing ever more agitated at the growing pile of mess you brought to his desk. Papers on papers with no care to how they were organized. Your handwriting was that of Torchic Scratch, and nothing had a conclusive start nor end. The worst offender was yourself. With an energy drink in hand, no doubt the cause of your shaking body, you looked awful . . .no . .not awful, tired. Maxie was staring at the embodyment of tired. Hair that probably hasn't been properly cared for in days as it frizzes from all sides. Your skin has become washed out and your eyes were souless. When he used to look into them he saw a grunt who was capable and determined. Now those colorful eyes, that he used to love to stare into, have been overshadowed by the litteral shadows underneath them.

Maxie: *coughing to grab attention* . . ."Excuse me. What . is . this?"

(Y/N): *Your brain was still trying to process Maxies Previous question. Your fingers mindlessly flipping through each paper.* . .  . "Oh . Uh . . well *Yawn* I was under the impression you'd tell me . . sir . . *Yawn* ."

With a hint of annoyance in your own voice you wanted to scream at your leader for calling you in today. Though you were well beyond too tired to do so, and you much preferred keeping this job with a bed to return to. Well a bed you wish you could return too. How long has it been since you actually slept in the thing? Thinking about it longer, picking a fight with Maxie wouldn't even begin to solve your problem. Admittedly Maxie was responsible in keeping work loads light and schedlues orderly for grunts. No your problem was that of your own, rather it was more of a mental condition than anything else. A lifelong battle of insomnia and a attention disorder made for a pretty rough combo on your sleep schedule.

Now normally you'd find no issues with this. Back when you were a kid the disorder seemed more fun as you spent hours underneath the covers watching cartoons on your tablet. As you entered your preteen years this ment you had more time to sneak snacks from the kitchen and talk with your friends over the phone. As a teen you'd find it relaxing to lay in your bed staring at your ceiling listening to music until the sun came up. But Alas you are no longer a kid, you are no longer a preteen, and you were no longer just a teen. Now you're an adult, with adult responsibilities and that ment feeling tired after a hard day of work. As most adults would have it, they'd be able to fall asleep in their soft covers, on their soft bed sheets, with a mattress that cradled them off to dream land. But you weren't most adults and you'd spend the night with your face nose deep into your laptop typing away til the blue light blended with the morning sun.

To you this lifestyle was normal and it's something you've long since forgotten wasn't supposed to be. Though you thought you've done a good job at maintaining appearances. Sure you drank a gallons worth of energy drinks every day and your hair wasn't the most kept thing but surely you weren't raising any alarm bells right? Right???? Well maybe to your fellow grunts baggy eyes, frizzed hair and flushed skin was normal but not to Maxie. When you were just starting out as a Magma Member you held your own pretty well but as the months crept along he saw your facade fall and it was really starting to worry him. And it wasn't just your appearance either. How you stumbled into the meeting room with papers falling out of your grasp collapsing into the plastic chair as if it was the most comfortable chair in the whole universe. The way your feet dragged and shuffled across each hallway with coffee spilling out of your mug. The few times he found you sleeping on break room sofas and closet boxes was the last straw for him. No, Maxie wasn't upset he was more troubled and quiet frankly more guilty of himself for seeing one of his subordinates in such a state.

Maxie: "(Y/N) I am going to need you to answer me honestly."

(Y/N): *a mix of tired and annoyance in your voice* "and when have I ever not have . . ."

Maxie: *his eyebrows furrow in frustration though he tries his best not to show it. He understands that this is probably just nothing more than you being out of it.* "please don't start anything. . . Look as your leader I only have the best interest for all members of this team.

(Y/N): *Not feeling up to dealing with a lecture you decide to get up in an attempt to leave* "Well let me save you from wasting your time. Look I appreciate whatever concerns you may have but there isn't anything that you or anybody else can do so if you'll excuse me, unless we are here to talk about job related stuff, let me go."

Maxie: *He only slightly bangs his hands against his desk as frustrated concern slips his mouth* "Don't be stubborn (Y/N)! I'm no doctor in medicine but I am smart enough to see that this has gone on for far too long.'

(Y/N): "Exactly! and seeing that things haven't changed let me go!"

Maxie: *he stands up from his seat and makes his way towards you.* "How am I to know you won't collapse at any given moment while you're working? Case and point need I show you the horrendous email that appeared to me this morning. The one you sent in the dead of night that has more spelling mistakes than a school kids book report? *Maxie restrains himself a bit as he calmly approaches your side. Grabbing your hand in an attempt to usher you away from the door.* "Listen to me (Y/N) I may be hard to approach but of there is anything that I have done to worsen your condition you have all means to discuss this with me."

(Y/N): *as the afternoon turned to night, you felt your body worsen and yet you still had enough bark in your bite as you blew off Maxies concern* "what . . so you can just . . Idk . baby me around or something? I'm capable of myself. . .'

Maxie: "And nobody is saying that you aren't" *Maxie in an attempt to comfort you awkwardly pulled you closer towards him and helped to move you towards the couch. But awkward that he may be you could feel a sense of warmth and care in his actions.*

Settling on the couch Maxie stood before you. Your body swaying ever so slightly as you tried to hold your body up. Though in a strange phenomenon the red leathered couch felt like a cloud. At least in the sense that it was 10 times better than the brick of a mattress you've been subjected to in your dorm room. Looking up at your boss through thin strands of hair you see a side to Maxie you've never seen before. His face a stern as ever but eyes full of worry.

The light of your phone screen illuminates the room as you glance at the clock. 10:32. Seeing gow late it was there wasn't a snowballs chance in Mt. Chimney that you'd be able to leave now. If it wasn't already tough as is. Besides the couch wasn't that uncomfortable.

(Y/N): *shaking your head slightly you let out a sigh of defeat*. "Fine . . I guess I'm staying here tonight . . .*your body practically collapses onto the leather cushions as Maxie turns to walk towards his own sleeping quarters*

As the minutes turned to hours, Maxie became ever so slightly more aware of just how bad your insomnia was. Though sleep did come to you, your body was fighting tooth and nail to try and get you back to your "routine" habits. Your phone being a tough instigator. Many alarm bells would wake you up to remind you to do Arceus knows what. Since staying up was the typical norm your phone was taken up by the endless list of chores and assignments that you'd set out to do just to make the night go by quicker.

As a fourth alarm rang outside his door Maxie took it upon himself to try and rid of the alarms for the sake of his sleep and your own. What he wasn't expecting to see was your tired body floped over in a mangled state on the couch. You appeared to still be sleeping, as your hand tried to make contact with your phone in an attempt to cease the ringing. However in the corner of his eyes a small shadow nearly caused Maxie to stumble back into his room. As the shadow approached his field of view, his glasses left on his nightstand, the shadow revealed itself to be none other than your Baltoy. Apparently they weren't used to you sleeping either having been fully accustomed to staying up at night and doing whatever keeps them busy.

With the Alarm still blaring Maxie approached your sleeping form and grabbed the phone that has found a new home on the cold linoleum floor. Your Baltoy silently hovering by his side Maxie went a head a dismissed the current alarm. Only to realize that without a way to get into your phone there were sure to be more alarms to come. With a tired sigh and the pinch of his temple, Maxie with all the tired smarts he could muster, looked at your Baltoy with a face that read "Help me".

With Psychic powers, you have no idea were they picked up how to do this, they unlocked the phone. Not wanting to pry more than he already was, Maxie quickly turned off each alarm you had set and boy were there a ton. The list seemed to stretch on with some Alarms being set mere minutes after the other. With tiles such as "Turn in X assignment by X date", "Make sure to write an email to Xxxx" "Don't forget to file X form" and so on and so forth. A twinge of guilt overcame Maxie at how his authority might have been a main cause as to why your insomnia persists. How many more of his grunts go through the same turmoils that he's been blind too? He prays it isn't too many. Even still, knowing just one might be hurt by his actions, it doesn't sit well with him long after Maxie returned to his bed.

5:10. a.m. the blue light that shrouded your face, you lay still on the couch. It was almost weird how much better you slept. Sure it wasn't perfect but last night felt like miracle compared to how little your normally sleep. Your Baltoy was still very much awake as they silently stayed by your side waiting for you to wake up. Having starred at the screen long enough you found the strength to sit up and it was here when your panic spread to each nerve in your body. Checking the amount of missed alarms you had combined with the fact that nearly half of them were mysteriously shut off you lept from the couch like a zubat out of hell and frantically paced around the room.

No time. No time whatsoever you thought as you didn't even bother trying to make yourself look presentable. Grabbing the papers left on Maxie's desk, the short sleep you felt was almost all for naught. Stumbling around the room you didn't even notice Maxie was already by your side onec more. Noting how panicked your breathing became, he brought you back to the couch were he sat beside you. A shaking body soon enveloped by Maxie's coat.

Maxie: "(Y/N)  . . whatever you needed to get done today can be arranged to be completed another day."

(Y/N): "No . no"

Maxie: "It's not an emergency I can assure you. ."

(Y/N): "No! . .No . no. If I had just started them sooner . . I'm sorry. I would have been able to complete them last night. ."

Maxie: "(Y/N)! *He calls to you stern yet with care in his voice. The kind of tone a mother would give while lecturing their children* Here me . . please. No work, no matter what, is more important than your health.

(Y/N): "well yeah . . but"

Maxie: "Nope. Repeat after me "No work, no matter what, is more important than your health."

(Y/N): ". . okay . *with a tired yawn you repeat back Maixe's mantra* 'No work . . .no matter what. . .*yawn* is more important than your health'"

Gently rubbing your shoulders Maxie gets up only after he feels as if you've fully considered his words. While you sit idle on the couch silently observing Maxie finish his mourning routine, he speaks to you once more before he leaves.

Maxie: "In addition to your assignments being arranged to help you rest easier. . . you know my office is always open . . . feel free to rest here if need be and please *he turns to face you* . . please don't stay up to complete anything for me. There is always the morning to do work and never hesitate to ask for help too."

And with that he left to start his day, leaving you to comfortably fall back asleep, his coat wrapped around your body. A warm blanket and a reminder that you have people who care about you within these walls.

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

Holy Arceus if this man were in a children's book he'd be dressed to the nines. Full plated suit of armor and all. This man would be the definition of chivalry.

What? He is just so in love with you and ain't afraid to show it!

Okay so he doesn't go extremely over the top, at least not according to him, but he is just more prone to showering his sweetheart with affection and anyone who judges him can fight him tooth and nail on it. Gifts, hugs, words of encouragement you name it! Nothing but the best for you and how could anyone not want to gift the world and some, to someone as sweet as you are.

Even his admins consider you to be the "perfect catch" *wink wink*. Matt would always be there to support his bro no matter who Archie decided to fall in love with. So when he got to meet the leaders partner and they were a soft, bubbly, happy go lucky person such as you, he made damn sure to be Archie's right hand man and celebrate he step in your guys relationship. Shelly, always the level headed on of the three, was just relieved that you were able to look past the whole "Team Aqua almost destroyed the world" incident as was just happy to see Archie had found a life outside of Team Aqua. It was almost a bit too comfortable for her liking that you forgave Archie, the literal person in charge of the whole disaster, and decided to date him. Admittedly she was hesitant to consider your feelings for Archie as legitimate. Was this some sick prank? Were you a spy sent form Team Magma??!? Were you planning on some sort of revenge for the sake of the citizens of Hoenn??!? But no, you were honest and sincere that you ment no ill towards Team Aqua and realized that it was all just well intentioned ideas that ended up going a bit over the deep end. From that point on she held nothing but respect for you and ao did the rest of Team Aqua.

You sorta became a third admin. Not that you were bossy or used your dating privileges as a right to push people around. It was just that you cared and helped out the grunts whenever you could that they dubbed you an honorary admin and Archie was obviously super chill with that. Though it was more of a weekend sort of thing as your real job kept you busy throughout the week. Speaking of that real job, this was how you met your charming and rough romantic pirate partner.

On a sunny afternoon just months after the events of Kyogre nearly throwing a pool party all over Hoenn, you and a few coworkers, were assigned to help out as contractors for the new and improved Team Aqua and Team Magma whos focus shifted to Pokemon conservation. Here your crew of breeders would help to take care of, raise new Pokemon, and teach these groups all about the art of Poke Breeding. As if fate would have it, you were tasked with training the one and only Archie, leader of Team Aqua.

Archie, strong willed, confidence incarnate, and strikingly handsome and yet . . .here he was nearly defeated by a herd of baby Azurills who would not listen no matter how many times he tried yelling at them to stay in place. Oh you wish you had a camera back then. The sight of this leader had you in fits of laughter as he hung his head in playful shame. If this had been any other person, Archie would have lynched his Pokemon onto them, but you? Nah! Whipping his head around to face the culprit of this laugh session, he stopped immediately when his eyes caught your face. Your gentle appearance and short stature enhanced his infatutation, as small wrinkle lines formed around the edges of your eyes and mouth indicating that you laugh and smile often. Speaking of laughter your laugh was as cute as you are, not a cackle or a howl, but small breathy giggles that made his heart beat ever faster.

Though ever the bombastic leader, his voice nearly dropped you to the floor. As a stern "Well don't just stand there help me!! . . .Please . ." barreled out of Archie as his face went red with anger from a Azurill's tail smaking him in the face.

As the weeks treked on, the two of you grew ever closer. You noticed how soft Archie had become around all the babies and littles. He managed to wrangle each Azurill and loved them as his own. (Just DON'T TELL SHELLY. His ego would never recover). Though none of this would have happened if it weren't for your patience and care. Being with you has made him appreciate the smaller things in life. Something he desperately needed after his Aqua plans went to ruins.

The months after his teams defeat were rough. His whole purpose for all these years was to bring upon the changing tides of Kyogres downpour and after he was defeated he didn't really have a plan B. Not to mention nearly every person besides his team, rival and that Gym Leader's kid, hated Archie. And he was smart enough to realize that they deserve to be weary of him after he nearly destroyed all of Hoenn, though that didn't mean it didn't hurt any less. He might never admit this to you, but deep down inside, this was why he tries so hard anymore, besides the Team's new conservation plans, you are all he has. And if that means taking care of Azurill rascals then he'd take care of a thousand for you.

You, . . oh you. The way your hair reflects the morning sun as he comes to greet you. How you wear the most inviting light pink jumpsuit that could give the nurse joy family brand a run for their money. How you need to hold onto the closet person when you've become so enveloped in giggle fits when he makes you laugh. These were the moments that Archie took to his bed each and every night, and these were what got Archie out of said bed by morning. And he isn't the only one eager to see you everyday. Who knew his Sharpedo was going to take such a liking to your itty bitty sandshrew. How your Aron tries their darndest to catch up and play with his Mightyena, and how your Roselia has become a soothing friend to his Muk and Crowbat. You're no Pokemon trainer that's for sure. Each member you have is severely lacking in the fighting department as they have been so used to their roles as extra help around the ranch. Though to Archie this is more or less a perfect excuse to always be by your side. . . to protect you of course!

Speaking of wanting to be by your side oh boyyyyy did Archie have a hard time. This man thought he had the Chutzpah to take on anything but if anyone found out it took him nearly a month to have the courage to ask you out, he'd rather swim in the sea during Sharpedo feeding time with nothing but a meat suit on. He just couldn't help it, he'd walk up to you, all feeling himself, see your face and fold like origami. It was only after one bite in the ass from his Mightyena and a shaky confession later, he was just so relieved when your soft hands met his own and you returned the feelings. He didn't even care about doing anything else for the day, just knowing you loved him back ment the world to him.

From then on the rest was history. In the times since then the two of you had done all the same lovey dovey stuff. Dates, and strolls on the beach yet, even after the honeymoon phase had passed the two of you are still stuck like glue as the day you two feel in love with each other. He's your sexy Sharpedo and your his sweet Azumarill and no storm could disturb this wave of love.
