Chapter 41 - Danny. Episode 1. ------Sparkle's point of view------

Sparkle: Where the hell is he?!? Did he forget??? I looked at my phone, it was past 10. First he had failed to pick me up, and as he didn't answer on either sms or phone calls, I thought he might already be at the university, waiting for me. I sighed deep. Daniel for fuck sake! He knew this was important to me. He knew I didn't want to show up to the art event with no date, as the other teachers had started pushing me to get a boyfriend. Who said I even wanted a boyfriend? But apparently you're supposed to have it all figured out by a certain age. Including boyfriend and paid off bank loans. I shook my head and redialed him.

Daniel: Hi sexy he moaned soft into the phone

Sparkle: Where the fuck are you man?

Daniel: Grunted in bed?

Sparkle: Well, you're supposed to be at the university…. with me!

Daniel: Moaned softly

Sparkle: Are you fucking masturbating or fucking someone?! I swear I could just kill him! Did he blow me off just for sex?!

Daniel: Uh… wait, what are you saying?

Sparkle: Are you with someone?

Daniel: Yeah? his voice sounded questioning as a matter of fact I am… problem? he chuckled hoarse

Sparkle: Yes Daniel! As a matter of fact I do have a fucking problem! You're supposed to be here at the university, with me, remember? You're my date! And now I'm standing here alone! So thanks a lot you dick! I hung up the phone immediately as I was so furious, tears were gathering in my eyes. HOW COULD HE?! I mean, not the fucking someone else… it's Daniel after all. But I spoke with him yesterday. I sent him a message about it at noon today, and then he fucking forgot anyway. I kinda guess that's to be expected from Daniel too… but… for fuck sake! I looked around desperately. I could leave? No one had seen me arrive yet? Shit! There's Doris! She's the worst one! Ohgodohgod! She's coming this way!!

Danny: Sparkle?…. is that you?

Sparkle: I spun around quickly, and starred into sweet light green eyes

Danny: Ahh it is you! How nice to see you he grabbed one of my hands and stroke it softly

Sparkle: I looked at my hand in his, glared up at him with curious eyes. Who was he? There were definitely something familiar about him… his voice… his eyes…

Danny: He smiled warmly and chuckled softly Yeah, I guess I changed a lot the past year?

Sparkle: Danny?! OMG!

Danny: Nodded and chuckled warmly Yeah..

Sparkle: Oh god! I can't believe it's you!! Danny used to be this skinny geeky guy following me around about a year ago. Always asking me on dates, although I had no interest in him at all. He was good looking, rich, definitely my type. But I just weren't ready, and for some odd reason I didn't seem to find any chemistry between us either. I had ended up agreeing on a date with him. But as it didn't awaken any feelings, we had agreed to just be friends. Few weeks later our lives had turned around, and me and the gang had fled the town. Leaving Danny behind. I hadn't talked more with him, as we had all gotten new phone numbers and not contacted anyone at all, in order to try to keep off A's radar. I cringed as I heard Doris's voice behind me. I frowned and turned around slowly Hi Doris. She was just one of those annoying, nosy coworkers we all seem to have at least one of.

Doris: Her voice was fake and friendly Hi dear, how nice of you to come. A little late though? Are you feeling well, you look a bit pale today. Well more than normal.

Sparkle: I faked a smile Thank you Doris. I'm okay thank you, I guess it's the light?

Doris: Ah yes, perhaps. Florescent lights are harsh against such a pale skin. You have to be careful… if you get more pale you might turn transparent she laughed loud and high pitched

Sparkle: I sighed softly, and faked a small laughter

Doris: So where's your date dear? You are aware we're supposed to bring a date? You didn't come alone again, did you? Oh dear, you poor thing. I am so sorry for

Danny: He quickly reached his hand to her in a greeting gesture Danny Rook.

Doris: Looked at Danny in awe

Danny: I would be the date.

Sparkle: I watched Doris look at Danny in disbelief, her jaw ready to fall off. I can't say it wasn't satisfying, specially when she left without saying a word. I have never seen her leave without a mean comeback.

Danny: He leaned close to my ear and spoke in a lowered deep voice Sorry about that…. I just can't stand self-righteous people like her. I hope I didn't embarrass you?

Sparkle: Are you kidding me? I turned around and chuckled happily you just pretty much saved my night! I just can't deal with more of her shit! How can I repay you?

Danny: He smiled warmly By being my date?

Sparkle: I looked at him questioning What are you doing here anyway?

Danny: I just enlisted here, I never finished university, and after sailing for about a year, I thought it was about time to finish school? he smiled softly

Sparkle: So you knew you could find me here?

Danny: Yes. He smiled softly and kissed my hand as he picked it up again

Sparkle: I chuckled softly. I never got used to him being such a… gentleman. At first I had of course thought it was complete fake, and just to get in my pants. But he never got into them, and still acted like this. So I guess this was just Danny Rook. The one last gentleman on this earth.

Danny: Please? He looked around us a bit It's a school. It's a boring school meeting, to welcome the new students, teachers and introduce new classes and such. It's not a romantic dinner, or even the cinema. So I'm sure you won't have an allergic reaction?

Sparkle: I sighed softly and observed his face. He still had the big geek glasses, but a big full beard now covered half of his face, and he was no longer skinny. Quite bulgy and under the muscles it looked like he had also gained at least 2 clothes sizes. He had become a man.

Danny: come on Sparkle… you left without saying goodbye. I had to find you. And not in a crazy stalker way. I just had to make sure you were okay.

Sparkle: Okay, you got me Danny. That actually sent a few butterflies twirling in my stomach. So I smiled. And I grabbed on to his hand, so we were holding each other, instead of him only holding me. And I sighed softly, sending him an accepting nod Okay, but, it's a friend date, alright? I chuckled softly

Danny: Deal.

Heya! I hope your doing well!

Ever since swsh gave the rivals something to do after the fact( something that I believe only happened to Blue), I can't help but think of the rivals prior who haven't. What do you think they end up doing? I know that Blue ends up becoming a gym leader, but would still be interesting what you plan for him too! :3

Hi there @ihopethisendswell! So actually, it's the norm typically for the rivals to have something to do, even if it's just continuing being a roaming trainers. Being a roaming trainer is still just as valid of a career path as other routes given the way the Pokemon world works, it's just not as solid of a career path as say gym leader or research assistant. Pokemon Sword and Shield is one of the only main games that really puts emphasis on the rivals' alternate careers paths as part of the plot outside of the gen 5 games. So like you have Blue who becomes gym leader and also helps his grandpa with his research by still be a roaming trainer (much to the frustration of anyone trying to challenge his gym). By the time of Sun and Moon/USUM he has ditched the gym to become battle facility which ultimately given his status as a former champion ends up being a much more fitting role. Granted he needed that time as a gym leader as long standing humbling exercise so it wasn't a bad call at all. Then we have Silver, who remains a roaming trainer, though he kind of mainly sticks around the Dragon's Den because he really wants to avenge that loss to Lance and show how much he has changed. Then we have Brendan/May (when not the protagonist) who end up going back to being full time assistants professor Birch. Wally on the other hand, is much like Silver in that he continue to be a roaming trainer, with him staying around the Battle Resort in ORAS with him eventually going to the Battle Tree by the time the SM/USUM events occur.

Barry also follows the roaming trainer route with him staying Stark Mountain in Diamond/Pearl and with Platinum he hangs around the Survival area.

Gen 5 is where the rival's future goals get the most attention, and was the best well done (SwSh in my opinion failed hard on the rival's goals bar Klara and Avery's). Bianca is still my favorite "how to do a future career path" ending in the entirety of series which is she really doesn't know. She ends up taking up a position as Professor's Juniper's assistant. However it's this linefrom Bianca in Pokemon Black 2/White 2 that I really enjoyed:

"Actually, I'm not sure being a professor's assistant is really what I want to do... But when I do the work, I have lots and lots of fun!" I really appreciated that they allowed Bianca to have doubts that this is her final career path. She's still a child and I can remember when I was her age (God, I sound so old) how many career paths I thought about in that time frame...and only one of those comes even remotely close to what I'm attempting to go back to school for. I liked how she's just trying to things and aiming for experiences while not trying to commit herself to one specific path. Now obviously this could theoretically be true for any number of the rivals as with the exception of Blue (and Wally although for some odd reason they didn't give him an aged up model considering he'd be just as old as Red and Blue are) we don't see them as adults and their ambitions could very well have indeed changed over the years. Then you have Cheren who after that scolding from Alder really begins to question his pursuit of strength and what he really wants to do. Cue 2 years later in BW2 where we see him as the Aspertia City gym leader as well a lecturer at the trainer's school. Fitting as it shows his desire and capabilities as a trainer but also allowing a more concrete goal than just pursuing strength but actually overseeing the future generations. And Hugh, another one of my favorite characters, concludes his story arc on forgiveness (since he had absolutely none for Team Plasma at the beginning of the story) ends up a roaming trainer but also helping the good side Team Plasma in Driftveil City reunite Pokemon that were stolen during the events of Black/White to their original trainers. So he has a goal and really touching one I might add, one of the few that doesn't revolve around battling or researching.

Then there's the XY rivals who were admittedly the most shafted. They all pretty much end up as roaming trainers except for Trevor who already had the aim of completing the Pokedex for Professor Sycamore and he continues to do so.

The no specific aim works the best, in my opinion, for Shauna as she really didn't have much of a goal to begin with outside of travelling/making memories, and much like I said with Bianca, it's okay for characters to not have a specific end game (although I personally see Bianca's route as better as although she isn't quite sure what she wants to do, she does take initiative and actively pursue a goal to gain experience and see if it's for her).

Serena/Calem (again when not the protag) having no set aim also works because they were most competitive of the group and continuing to be a trainer makes sense, but since they get hardly any development it just feels hollow and not satisfying. At least with characters like Wally, Silver and Barry who are roaming they all went through some major development. Lack of major development plus no end game just makes Serena and Calem unfortunately just not stand out.

Then Tierno...poor Tierno. He's my favorite XY character and I hate that screwed over so poorly. He actually a goal but the game doesn't allow us to see how a dance team would work. Kalos really could've benefitted from a Pokemon Contest/Musical like sidequest where Tierno shines in. So him being a roaming trainer is just...meh.

Now moving on to Gen 7 and best boy Hau (Hau's up there with Blue and Leon as one of my favorite Pokemon characters PERIOD). In both Sun and Moon and USUM he's a roaming trainer but I argue that Sun and Moon actually wrapped up his character better, despite USUM giving him much more in the way of development. By that I mean he explicitly mentions to the player that he wants become strong enough to find his father who fled Alola because the pressure of being the Kahuna's son was too much. So yeah he is still just a regular trainer, but he does have an explicit goal that goes beyond just trying to continue to measure up to the player. He also helps to train the reforming Team Skull grunts in the art of Alolan SuMo. In USUM this is erased for a more generic roaming trainer scenario unfortunately. Gladion's fate also changes depending on what version of the Gen 7 games you play. With Sun and Moon he ends up taking over as Aether's president but also still trains on the side as he is one of the challengers that can come for your title in the post game. In Ultra Sun and Moon he actually takes the "I'm going to Kanto" route instead of Lillie although he actually back and is essentially a roaming trainer since Lusamine's villainy was nerfed and therefore allowed to stay as Aether's president

Then there's Trace who ends up champion then loses it, but keeps on going in this endless circle of trying to reclaim it from the player. And then finally the Gen 8 rivals where we have Bede, Marnie, Klara and Avery all become gym leaders and Hop is a professor. Despite this cast having the most focus on their future paths since the gen 5 rivals I don't think they were done that well. Like Klara and Avery's worked, really well and they're probably the only rivals bar Trace and Blue who actually their goals (with them actually maintaining there dream status because their goal didn't involve becoming champion).

I've talked about Hop's on this post before but the lack of genuine foreshadowing just made his sudden declaration of wanting to be a Pokemon Professor just come out of nowhere. And honestly considering the fact that he had just come out of a depressive stage and still hadn't quite addressed his idolization issues I think he would've been served better with the Bianca route where yes he becomes Sonia's assistant, but it's clear that he's still trying to find his new path and that he's just open to trying out research rather than making a rather bold claim that this was his new career path. Either that or do better in the foreshadowing where he shows he has a much clearer interest in academia but feels like he needs to be a champion like his brother.

Then there's Marnie who I've also stated was kind of screwed over. Because she made it rather clear to Piers she didn't want to be gym leader (which makes sense given that she saw how that position screwed over older brother that she admires). She's pretty much doing this because she still has the motivation to save her hometown which is extremely admirable and mature. But also it's sad, like if she didn't have to do this, would she honestly still be gym leader. I think not, at least not immediately. Considering that gym challengers can still compete on the big stage with the champion's cup rematches and some even can be invited to the Galarian Stars Tournament, I think if I had of written that I would've focused on how with Leon as the head of MC he's going to actually work with Spikemuth to revitalize without shouldering the responsibility on one single person, especially a minor. And let her be a roaming trainer and live for herself and not continue to be Spikemuth's martyr.

Then there's Bede who quite vocally states when crashing the Champion's Cup that he was ready to retire. Like poor boy goes from being used as Rose's wishing star collector and fall boy to Opal's reirement plan. Like yes it's great that Opal actually remembers his name and gives him a support system and teaches him some discipline. But still it's kind of sad as he was very much okay with retiring but more or less gets goaded into staying because of the stadium audience.

So this post got way longer than I what it was going to be but hey that happens. But yeah too long don't read, all of the rivals do have a goal, even if a lot of them end up as roaming trainers. If I'm honest in most cases (bar the gen 6 rivals because they lacked developent) the roaming trainer thing works. Because they're kids and they still have their whole lives ahead of them and they don't need to have concrete job just yet. Especially because in some cases the concrete plan just doesn't always fit the character. It works best when it feels like an organic part of the story and not just trying to wrap things up for the sake of wrapping things up.

Finally, to answer your question about how I deal with Blue. Well in my Pokeverse (dubbed cactusverse in case you see me refer to my AU as this), I tend to be fairly canon compliant to the games. So after he loses his champion title to Red he becomes Viridian gym leader, slightly patches things up with grandfather by helping with the research and eventuallya head of the Battle Tree as an adult once he gains the Battle Legend Status (which is an actual legitimate title in cactusverse held currently only by him, Red and Leaf, although one of my OCs gets this designation as well). So nothing that really deviates from canon except for some offscreen events. Basically the battle legend status is bestowed if a major event happens that is taken care of by an already established powerful trainer. So there's a rather major plot thing the Kanto Trio gets involved in that once they take care of gives them their status.

Also for cactusverse there's the whole issue of the Viridian City gym. So it eventually it gets passed down to Trace as Blue has shown that he's become a bit too powerful to be a gym leader. He was honestly when he first got it probably still a bit overkill for an 8th gym leader, but he also really needed an attitude adjustment. And with Lance being a far better father figure to him than Oak could ever dream of, with the help of Agatha tried to rein in his egotistical and self important ways by giving him the position. Which worked very well. Still in cactusverse there's rules on the win percentage a gym can have and that's determined by position. Win too many for your rank and you get moved, vice versa if you lose too many, and sometimes you might even lose your position. The first and last gym leaders are always the most at risk of losing their status. This actually happens to Wallace, Iris and eventually Raihan because they just end up exceeding the strength of most challengers who try to challenge them. Hence why all three of them end up champions at some point cactusverse (Raihan does not become Galar's champion, but Johto's champion since I really like the idea of him spreading his wings beyong Galar).

Blue between the time of BW2 and SM had ended up getting to a point that no one had gotten a gym badge off of him in a couple of years which is unacceptable by league standards and he would've gotten booted out sooner had Lance not personally asked my OC Terra to come kick his butt and get a badge off of him. And cue possibly the most iconic and brutal gym battles to have ever gone down in a region of outside of Galar because two heartbroken champion tier trainers, who broke each other's heart is a recipe for a frightening battle. Lance happened to referree that match and might be a little traumatized. Terra won and he was able to give out his last badge before Red came back from his latest global trip and said let's go to Alola.
