PAIRING: Leon x F!Reader

SUMMARY: No one notices just how close to the top you and your peers are. In fact, you were in the same bunch as Raihan and Leon, now look at you. You’re third. Out of every person to ever battle in the Galar region, you’re third.

The three of you have stayed at the top since you were children, each of you holding the record for longest time spent in such a position. Though, despite you being surrounded by Leon and Raihan, you know very little about them. Truth is, you’re older than them by a few years, and never really got to interact with them during your gym challenger days.

Now that the region is facing a crisis, you take it upon yourself to get to know the champion a little better.

WARNINGS/TAGS: slowburn, you’re a ghost type trainer, canon divergence, Leon is bad at feelings, basically the game lore with a twist. Eventual smut.

When They Realize They Love You

leon, raihan x fem!reader (separately)

drabble/semi-headcanons

fandom: pokémon {sw&sh}

contains: fluff, established relationship, domestic scenarios

A/n: just wanted to do something small for Pokémon and I decided this idea for Leon and Raihan. Hope you enjoy!

<=========>

Leon

Moving in together was Leon’s idea. It was fun for the both of you as well as your Pokémon. Leon never felt so happy with you around as you were him. Though the moment he saw you and his Charizard cuddling together with you on the couch and Charizard with his head in you lap as he sat on the floor, it was curtains for him. Leon has always noticed that Charizard had taken a liking to you but to this moment he was sold you were staying in his life until the end of time. There was no doubt in in his mind that you were the one.

Raihan

Since Raihan has known you, you have always dressed a bit more masculine mostly because you are a fellow gym leader. He’s never seen you wear something outside of your gym leader clothes. Though he never had a problem with it, Raihan liked you just the way you are, you are a capable gym leader, a strong one at that and Raihan respected that. You and Raihan have been dated for sometime now and you still have a way of surprising him. You showing up to one of your dates in a dress/skirt or whatever, Raihan was like “damn, she cleans up nice.” He was already in love with but you were something new made him fall even more in love with you.

{Pokémon/ roommate Au: R/n just got out of the shower realizes she left her laundry in the living room.]

R/n: [From the bathroom:] Hello?  Are you guys back yet?

[When there is no answer, R/n rushes out of the bathroom in just a towel and grabs her housecoat out of the basket drops her towel. then the front door opens R/n hugs her coat to her body, just as Ghost walks in, he does a double take and gapes, while Soap is stunned.]

R/n: Well go on, turn your heads.

[R/n turns round to change. The two men turn around to face the door, however, Soap does a full circle and is staring back at R/n. Ghost puts a stop to it and turns him back around just before R/n can catch him..]

R/n: *finished changing* Okay.

[They turn back around to see R/n wearing a t-shirt and shorts.]

R/n: So, I guess you've had some excitement tonight.

[Ghost is blushing under his mask, when he sees R/n is unknowingly wearing one of his T-shirts.(Soap snuck it into her laundry, he’s trying play match maker)]

Soap: Well I won’t say exciting, It was just an average day at work...

R/n: Oh C’mon, stop joking around. tell me how it went, what happened?

{Ghost and Soap look at her bemused}

Soap: How did what happen?

R/n: The battle?

Ghost: What battle?

R/n: Th-The battle wit-- What? Are you guys saying you didn’t battle Leon?

Soap: Leon?

Ghost: Ya mean that wasn't a joke?!

[That’s how Soap and Ghost learned that Leon the former champion of Galar had toured their base's battle facility! And that they totally missed an opportunity to battle him! They thought everyone was having a go with them! Luckily R/n still had Leon’s contact Info from when they were a Gym leader, she called him up and the two challenged Soap and Ghost the battle base! ]

ETHEREAL

Pairing: Leon x GN!Reader

Synopsis: Long ago, the king of a fallen nation tied his soul to an angel, out of love. The two meet in each life, the angel never able to escape the king.

CW: Religious themes (angels, devil, God/Arceus, reincarnation/rebirth), obsession, stalking, possessiveness, murder, blood sacrifice (reader’s blood)

—

In a fallen kingdom, Arceus sent an angel to spread its word. The angel descended from the heavens into the kingdom, taking all by surprise. The kingdom’s citizens fell in love with the beautiful angel, but the king took a special liking.

The angel’s lengthy strides echoed in the empty halls of the castle, making their way to the throne room. They stopped in front of the wooden doors and took a breath. The guards standing by opened the doors, allowing the holy being into the area. The king turned to the angel.

“Ah, welcome. I heard of your arrival from my citizens,” said the king. He invited the angel to look out over the kingdom with him from the grand window.

“Yes, I have been sent to spread the word of my lord Arceus,” the angel replied curtly.

“Tell me, what does the all-knowing Arceus want his angels to inform us humans of?” The king asked.

“Arceus sent me to tell you of the Pokémon poaching industry. Many of Arceus’s carefully crafted species are bordering extinction,” informed the angel.

The king frowned. “I will attend to this matter. For now, why don’t you stay for a few days?”

“Thank you for the hospitality, but I must refuse,” the angel denied.

“Just for a week? The children seem to adore you,” the king pleaded. Not as much as me, he thought.

The angel, unknowing of the king’s true intentions, agreed to remain in the kingdom for one week.

As the angel’s presence was extended, the king’s desire grew. Eventually, the desire consumed the king entirely, turning him into a being of greed and wrath.

On the second day, the king had agreed to give the angel a tour of the town. As the pair walked through the streets, more and more eyes ogled at the divine being. The king’s judgement became clouded with rage and jealousy, but he finally snapped when some insolent peasant dared to lay his hands on his angel. HIS angel.

At the castle, the king escorted the angel to where they would be staying, then left to deal with the pest. He had the peasant beheaded in the town square as a warning for the other citizens. His smile only grew from his subjects’ fright.

The night before the angel was to leave, the king took them from their sleep. He locked them in his chambers and clipped their wings, severing all ties with Arceus and turning them mortal. He turned to the Devil, making a deal to bind his and his beloved’s souls so they would find each other in every life. In return, it took a simple sacrifice of some of the angel’s blood. The king didn’t like the idea of hurting his darling, but he took some of their blood in a bowl and gave it to the Devil. The king and angel lived the rest of their lives together, as the kingdom fell to ash and dust.

—

Leon woke up in a cold sweat, pushing his purple hair back with one hand. He turned to look at his partner, who was asleep on the pillow next to him.

He remembered. He remembered everything. Just like his past self has been assured, he found his darling in every life. And now, he wouldn’t let go.

Note: I know the turning mortal thing doesn’t make sense, but bear with me here

👑Leon👑

- he’s delusional. He saw you in the stadium during one of his matches, and even bumped into you afterwards! You were so nervous and polite, so sweet and shy.

- He’s the champion after all, of course you’d be nervous about bumping into him. You were just glad he was nice, and not angry with you.

- But that’s not how he saw it.

- You were nervous and shy because you love him! And that’s okay! He finds you so cute, so charming. He can’t help but try and find you on social media.

- He wants to know you! He tries to bump into you, but he’s always getting lost.

- Yet you find him! You help him find his way back to town! So much so, he offers you to work for him, to help him not get lost.

- The pay is insanely well, how could you refuse the sweet champion’s offer?

- He’s always falling you around, hanging off your every word.

- You don’t seem to notice his glare at reporters, or his ‘friendly’ touches lingering. He’s Leon, he’s always been an affectionate man, what’s there to worry about?

- You confused when people start asking you about your boyfriend, or how long you and Leon have been together.

- You aren’t dating Leon, so what gives?

- Asking Leon this, he just tilts his head at you, his confusion mirroring your own

- “What are you talking about? We are coming up on our one year!”

- He tugs lightly at his long purple hair, golden eyes filling with tears that never fall.

- “How could you say that! I’ve been doing everything for you, because I love you! You’re mine, please, just sit down and we can talk about this!”

- “Leon, there is nothing to talk about-“

- The more you deny it, deny him, the more he starts to hyperventilate. It only gets worse when you tell him you’re quitting.

- He won’t allow it! He can’t! You can’t leave him! Through all his crying, through all his begging, his pleading for you to stay with him, to not throw your entire relationship away.

- He panics.

- You can’t leave him! Not after all you two have been through!

- You won’t remember exactly what happened.

- But you’ll wake up, cuffed to his bed, and his bedroom door upgraded with so many locks.

- His Dragapult sees you’re awake, and phases out the door. Only to return with Leon.

- “Ah! I’m so glad you’re awake. I was worried I was too rough, haha!”

- You try to move, thrashing, demanding to be freed.

- “Shh shh it’s okay, love! I got you, you can’t leave me now, isn’t that great? You can be with me forever, isn’t that great! My sweet spouse.”

- No matter what you say, he truly believes you just need an adjustment period.

- You love him! He just knows you do!

-

🐉Raihan🐉

- when he first saw you, he knew he needed your contact information. But you made that easy.

- You work at a battling café, said to be one of the best employees, and hardest to beat.

- You look delectable in your uniform, smiling so warmly at him, ready to battle.

- You were a challenge, but that only made him want you more. Making his infatuation grow.

- Your name tag made it easy to finding you, allowing him to stalk you easily. He finds your posts easily, seeing you post pictures of your pokemon, things you’re proud of, and outfits you felt more confident in.

- He’s drooling, you’re so hot, so perfect.

- Your posts show him you’re so kind.

- He becomes a regular at your café, only asking to battle you.

- “They are the only one who’s giving me a challenge.”

- Your coworkers are jealous that THE Raihan, only wants to battle you. He’s easy to talk to, he’s always so chill, and fun to talk with.

- And with your coworkers current attitudes towards you, he becomes the main person you talk to anymore.

- He asks you for your contact information, as if he doesn’t already have it. So he can follow you.

- You aren’t away how he scares all your suitors off.

- Who’s going to talk to you, when you ‘boyfriend’ is Raihan? Who’s glaring at them from over your shoulder? Who texts them to leave you alone, cause you’re already with him.

- You fall into a depression, as your friends no longer want to be around you, as people whom you thought had a connection with, no longer want to be around you.

- But Raihan is there, he makes time for you, even when he’s at work! He always makes sure to text you the second he has a chance, or when you text him.

- He gives you his undivided attention. You’re his beloved, how can he not?

- Raihan makes sure you have no one in your life, except for him! All you need is him anyways.

- He’s two faced with you.

- You only see how protective, funny, kind, and loving he is. You don’t need see how he gets with other who want you, or to get between you and him.

- He tries to hide his possessiveness from you, nor wanting to scare you off. But sometimes it slips, but he’s so charming and easily covers it.

- You can quit your job, and move in with him! He can take care of you! Let him take care of you.

- Let him spoil you, let him be the only one.

-

❤️‍🔥Kabu❤️‍🔥

- Kabu is a tricky case.

- He met you as a trainer working under him, helping him in his gym. You’re such a hard worker, he can’t help but be around you more, asking you to train with him.

- He finds himself falling in love with you, seeing you with yours and his Pokémon only solidifies that.

- Kabu tries everything he can think of, to earn your affection, but he can’t seem to win your favor. So he tries, and tries, and tries, never giving up.

- Bringing you lunch, offering to take you out.

- “It’s the least I can do for you! Your work is admirable.”

- “You must take breaks! Your body can only work, if you take care of it. You can only show your full potential, if you are rested.”

- Kabu gets bashful when he tries to tell you, how lovely he thinks you are.

- But you only take it platonically.

- He’s a yandere that won’t make a move, just longing for you from the shadows.

- It’s not until you say you have a crush on someone, does he snap. You can’t be with anyone! Only him! Why would you betray him like this?

- No, no no it’s a mistake! You’re being guilted that’s it! Being manipulated by that person.

- Kabu thinks you’re so innocent, so pure, you just see the good in everyone! That had to be it! You don’t want to think that person is evil.

- But Kabu does.

- Kabu purposefully keeps you away from your crush. You belong to him, so why should that other person be around you?

- You are meant to be his spouse! As he’s meant to be your husband!

- He knows this is wrong, he does! But he can’t stop himself, you’re the spark his flames need.

- He knows it’s wrong of him to fantasize about keeping you for himself, but the pain in his heart, when he sees you with another is too great!

Adore You | Leon x Reader (Oneshot)

Genre: Super Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort

It’s been a particularly challenging week. And as much as you’ve tried to brush it off, along with Leon’s concern, the weight of everything is starting to bear down on you hard. If you were honest, you’ve been in a constant state of exhaustion.

Deadlines and expectations seem to be ever looming, the only rival in magnitude to either being the damned imposter syndrome you’d been trying desperately to bat away. At this point, you’re questioning if you’d somehow accidentally stumbled into where you are in life.

This afternoon, you’d happened to get home before Leon did and immediately slithered out of your clothes and into your bed, wrapping the sheets around yourself. Your eyes fell shut, hoping to drown out the world. All you can hear is the sound of your breath, drawing slowly and softly, yet somehow each inhale felt heavier than usual. With all of the thoughts swirling around in your mind, you almost didn’t hear the footsteps approaching or the sound of the bed shifting under someone’s weight settling next to you.

The subtle scent of cinnamon, vanilla and bourbon in Leon’s cologne bringing the slightest comfort before anything else. His hand tugs at the edge of the blanket you had so tightly folded yourself into, loosening it just enough so that he could slide into the cocoon with you. Without saying anything, he nestled his broad frame against your back, an arm working its way around your waist and angling up so that his palm was against your cheek.

The first crack.

You trembled at your core, all of your pent up fears and anxieties simmering inside you, threatening to boil over. Allowing yourself to ease into Leon’s hand, you took in the warmth of his skin — he was somehow always warm — and could feel the callouses built up from almost two decades of training. Calluses that were rough and worn, but always felt like home when they were running along your back. Letting his thumb trace across your cheek to play along your lips, he inched his body closer, his other hand moving to brush your tousled hair out of your face. You hear him sigh deeply before placing a gentle kiss at the back of your head, then resting his nose against your neck.

The second, and final crack.

You couldn’t hold it back anymore and the tears began to trickle down, wetting Leon’s hand. It’s silent for a moment, until the tiniest whimper escapes you. You try to pull away, but strong arms hold you in place, pressing you in closer. “Shhh…”

“You’re so strong, love. Being vulnerable is a part of that strength,” he whispered into your skin.

Still soft, but now audible sobs were wracking your body. You were sure Leon could feel you shaking and you couldn’t figure out if you should be embarrassed or if you should find solace in the fact that him, simply being who he was, brought your soul to ease.

“And know that even when you’re feeling your weakest, I’ll adore you. Always.”

At that, you turn around to face your champion, your lips quickly finding his, hands tangling themselves in those unruly, violet locks. Between the tender glances and exchanged breaths, you knew you’d eventually make it out the other end.

How could you not.

Leon/raihan(or just leon if you can't do both)dating a male or gn reader(your choice)who has psychic abilities and also has a shiney palkia which hatched from an egg given to reader from arceus as a gift

Raihan and Leon with male/gn S/O that has psychic abilities and shiny palkia

Hope this is what you meant if not let me know!

Raihan the Dragon type Gym Leader In the region of Galar, where Pokemon and humans lived side by side. Raihan was known as the most skilled gym leader in the Galar region. Amongst the admirers was a young psychic named Y/N, whose psychic ability and prankster nature had captured Raihan's heart. Surprise struck when the famous Pokémon Arceus gave Y/N a shiny egg. The egg soon transforms into a bright, blue Palkia, its shiny shell and beautiful wings betraying its origin. Raihan was immediately taken aback by the beautiful sight and knew that Y/N was under something special. As they spend time together, Palkia and Y/N's bond grows stronger. Palkia admired Y/N's confidence and sense of humor, while Y/N admired Palkia's unwavering spirit. There's a lot of scavenging and exploring in the great Pokémon habitats, where Y/N's psychic abilities are invaluable in communicating with the mysterious creatures that live there. News of Raihan and Y/N's blossoming romance spread throughout the Hammerlocke Stadium, causing both surprise, jealousy, and awe to spread through Hammerlocke. People were surprised by the relationship between a famous training leader and a psychic who was blessed by the famous Arceus. Their love story becomes a symbol of unity and the eternal power of shared dreams..

An odd romance had formed in the beautiful Sinnoh region between Y/N, a skilled young man born with psychic talents, and Leon, undefChampion of Galar. As luck would have it, Y/N had discovered a pokemon egg hidden among Mount Coronet's tall peaks, a egg, a gift from the Pokemon Arceus himself. From within the egg a pink shiny Palkia was born, the pokemon of space. Y/N's skill with the psychic arts and the unwavering bond he shared with his new companion caught Leon's attention. The Galar Champion, known for his power in battle and his undying spirit, was captivated by the aura that surrounded Y/N. They bonded by there shared passion for Pokémon battles and their determination ignited a spark within both of them, one that quickly transformed into a sort of admiration. As days turned into nights, Leon and Y/N would venture into the world of love while in the Sinnoh region, engaging in playful though sometimes serbattles and forming an unbreakable bond. While Leon's Charizard would unleash attacks that left people struck with awe. Their battles became stories told amongst the people of the Sinnoh region, each victory making their admiration for one another grow.

[ourvanishingghosts]

Can I request Leon, Gordie and Raihan (separately) confessing to their crush while she stays at their place during a snowstorm, please?

Sure. I hope you enjoy it,

Snowy Confession

🧡Leon🧡

Most people know Leon as a confident man, but that’s just him when he’s out in public. In private he tends to be quieter. He had invited you over to his place to play the new video game he just bought. You two had been playing the game for about an hour and a half before the electricity went out. Luckily the game had already auto-saved before that happened. The good news is that the water was still running and that Leon has a lot of blankets.

After 4 hours of you two playing board games and card games you notice that Leon was nervous about something. You put your cards face down on the table and looked at him "Leo, what's wrong? You seem nervous about something." "Well, I want to tell you something, Y/N. But I don't know how you will react." "Just tell me, Leo. If you don't tell me I'm going to worry that I did something wrong." He takes a deep breath in and out "I am in love with you, Y/N!"

You take his hands in yours making him look at you. "Oh, Leon. I was waiting for you to tell me. I'm in love with you too." He looks at you surprised "You knew? How?" "You were obvious. But, I didn't want to force it out of you." You two smile and finish your card game before cuddling on the couch.

🤎Gordie🤎

You and Gordie were baking brownies at his apartment when the blizzard hit. Luckily you two were making regular brownies and they were finished right as the power went out. So with Coalossal as your light. You two ended up talking about both of your childhoods. You told Gordie about how your mom was the one who taught you how to battle and it was your dad who taught you how to take care of Pokémon.

After a while of sharing stories, Gordie let his true feelings about you slip through. "This is why I fell in love with you, Y/N." Silence filled the room as his face dropped. "I uhh. I'm sorry, Y/N. I didn't mean to tell you like this." You place a hand on his cheek and kiss him on the lips. You pull away and say "It's alright, Gordie. I love you too. I was too nervous to tell you."

His face still had a look of shock on it from you kissing him. "Well, I'm glad I finally told you because my mom was going to tell if I didn't before tomorrow." You both laugh about how funny it is because that would have been awkward for the both you. You two end up eating all the brownies before heading to bed. He did let you sleep in his bed while he slept on the couch since you two just started dating.

💜Raihan💜

You and Raihan were at his house playing video games. From Spyro to Crash Bandicoot to Just Dance. As you two were in the middle of playing Mario Kart on the Wii the power went out. "Damn it! I was so close to winning! What happened?" Raihan exclaimed "I'll go check." You answered and went to the closest window and drew back the curtains. You saw that it was a snowstorm. "It is a snowstorm. It must have knocked something down." You inform him as you head back to where he was sitting. "What do you want to do now?" You asked "We could play two truths and a lie." Raihan suggested "Sure"

It was about 20 minutes later and it was Raihan's turn. "I hate being cold, I hate being hot, and I love you more than Leon loves battling." "Obviously the lie is that you hate being cold." "Correct." "Wait. What was the last thing you said?" "Correct?" "No. I mean before that." His face turns read "I love you more than Leon loves battling?" "You love me, Raihan?" He looks away from you to avoid looking you in the eyes

"I do. I just didn't mean it to come out this way. I guess my brain went blank and it just came out of my mouth." You go over to him and hug him. "It is alright. I love you too Raihan." After that, you two just started talking about random topics until you two fell asleep.

The Summoning (chapter one)

Ft. Leon x F! Gym Leader! Reader

series m.list

SUMMARY: lots of lore building at the beginning here. Bear with me I beg you. I envision your team as Chandelure, Trevenant, Polteageist, Gengar, Cursola, and Runerigus. In this story, Allister is a trainer that studies underneath you, and you run your gym out of Ballonlea.

The Galar region is a beautiful place, each area much more gorgeous than the last. Its beauty almost rivals the lively islands of Alola, a popular tourist attraction for many in the world of Pokémon. Galar is home to many talented Pokémon trainers, even having one of the best Gym Challenge programs throughout the world. Many of the trainers that Galar produces go on to be Gym Leaders or something similar. However, the most unique thing about this region is its ranking system. Every year, a list is posted by the chairman, releasing the top fifty trainers of the region. But that’s not the unique thing. See, for ten whole years, the top three haven’t moved. They are rumored to be the best of the best, and are admired throughout the land.

One is the region’s champion, Leon.

Another is Hammerlocke’s dragon type gym leader Raihan.

And third is ghost type gym leader of Ballonlea, you.

No two of the three are similar, and they each make for an intimidating opponent on the battlefield. That’s why they’re so special. They’re undefeated, in their own right, and there will never be another trainer that will be able to properly replace them.

They’re celebrities, and they know it.

꧁ ༺ ─── ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ ─── ༻ ꧂

The wild area was a place that you quite enjoyed visiting. The ambience brought you peace, temporarily relieving you of your stress. Plus, it was the perfect training grounds for you and your Pokémon. There was also something about being surrounded by other Pokémon in their natural habitat that made it all the more special. You loved pitching your tent and relaxing with your Pokémon before a long day of work. It wasn’t often that you took time to yourself like this, so when you did, people knew better than to try and get ahold of you.

Sadly, you hadn’t had much time to go out since Opal gifted you her gym. You had unknowingly passed her trial before her passing, despite you not specializing in fairy types. She had monitored your battle style closely, confident in her choice. She had believed in you more than anyone else, and you kept her memory with you everywhere you went. You were grateful for the opportunity to have been mentored by her. She set everything up for you, you just had to work hard to get there. Opal had her eye on you since you started your gym challenge all those years ago. Now, you were twenty something and mentoring a timid child that reminded you a lot of yourself. Funny how that works.

But it wasn’t gym leading that brought you to fame. Much like Opal, the entire region had had its eyes on you since the beginning of your journey. You were a powerful young trainer, and you had gotten dangerously close to taking the spot of champion many times. It was only after Leon became champion that you decided to further your education. Now your intelligence and power made you a weapon, a dangerous enemy to have. You worked as the head at the battle league in Wyndon for years until Opal snatched you up. The trainers you has picked to work alongside yourself had been personally trained by you, making them nearly impossible to get past. Like now, it was rare that trainers reached you, and even rarer that they surpassed you and moved on to the next level. More often than not, gym challengers dropped out after losing to you.

You sighed softly as the gentle wind blew around you. A storm would be rolling in soon, which meant that you’d have to pack it up fast and find proper shelter. It was a shame since you enjoyed being out here. Maybe you’d be able to find a cave big enough to camp in before the storm hit. Your Gengar appeared by your side, tearing you from your thoughts. It came out of the shadows, carrying so many berries that they were practically falling out of its arms. Damn thing. Your Gengar couldn’t go two seconds without stealing something from someone. Or scaring them. There’ve been many times where you’ve had to apologize for Gengar’s behavior. Out of your six Pokémon, Gengar was by far your most troublesome.

Gengar sat off to the side and began to devour the berries. Your other Pokémon looked at it curiously, but paid it no mind. Things like this happened way too often for them to care.

You leaned back and watched the clouds overhead. There was something odd about the formation of them that made you wonder. No tornado warnings had been issued for the area, nor were there any severe thunderstorm warnings. You could hear the wild Pokémon around you screech and squeal as they ran around you and your camp. What were they running from? There was no way of was the storm. Usually they weren’t bothered by the weather. Slowly, you rose to your feet, curiously inspecting your surroundings. While your own Pokémon seemed unbothered, the wild ones were definitely acting strange. Thunder rolled in the distance, causing another wave of panic to erupt from the area. Odd. Yet interesting. You’d have to mention this phenomena to Professor Magnolia before you returned to Ballonlea.

The sound of your Rotom Phone ringing caught you off guard, and you nearly threw it into the air trying to answer it. The fact that someone was calling you while you were out threw you for a loop. Even more so when you saw just who was calling you.

“Gordie?” You held the phone to your ear. “What’s wrong?”

Gordie was the only one of your peers that was ever able to get ahold of you. For whatever reason, you didn’t mind him. He and Kabu were the least annoying people out of your fellow gym leaders. Them and you, of course.

“Chairman Rose is calling in all of the gym leaders for a meeting. I dunno what it’s all about, but by the looks of things, you’re gonna want to get here as soon as possible.” He spoke with a certain urgency that made you curious. The Chairman? What could he possibly want from the gym leaders?

“Oh that’s right… the list is being posted today…” You frowned, putting away the phone and recalling each of your Pokémon. Once they were secured, you began taking down your tent. Thunder rolled once again. If you weren’t quick, the sky would fall out before you were able to call a flying taxi. You worked swiftly with that in mind, rushing to beat the storm. However, as you packed, you remembered that the Chairman didn’t usually call everyone in to read off the list. Especially since the list wasn’t exclusive to gym leaders. You sighed and hurried out of the wild area, heading off in the direction of Wyndon.

Oh how you hated Wyndon. It was far too big of a city for your taste. The hustle and bustle of the streets just wasn’t the way you wanted to live, which is why you avoided leaving Ballonlea at all costs. You couldn’t go anywhere without people recognizing you and begging for your league card. Interactions like that drove you insane.

Gordie met you outside of Rose Tower, wearing a somewhat serious expression. He held the door for you politely before joining you by your side. You felt like he was escorting you. Staff members glanced at you as you passed, making your skin crawl. They had been waiting for you. You just knew it.

Once you had gotten through the lobby, you were directed to the conference room filled with all of Galar’s gym leaders. As you looked around you noticed that not one of them was interacting with the group. How odd. Usually they were excited to see each other.

“I’m so glad you decided to join us today,” Chairman Rose clasped his hands together, smiling at the sight of you. He reached out an arm and gestured to an empty seat beside Raihan. Slowly, you walked over and sat down. Across from you was the champion, Leon. He looked a lot different than you remembered. Maybe it was the tacky cape that was throwing you off.

The Chairman cleared his throat, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. “First things first. The list has been posted. Let us read it before anything else.” He waved his hand at the board behind him, and the list appeared. Photos of each trainer appeared next to their names, making sure that people knew who was who. He began to read it off, and everything was pretty cut and dry.

Leon was first, as always. Raihan second. And you third. Kabu had worked his way up to fourth, to your surprise. Gordie was fifth. Melony was sixth, and so on and so forth.

“Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’d like to talk to you all about a growing issue within the region.” The projector shut off and the room grew tense. You looked over at Gordie, who simply shrugged his shoulders. “Intense storms have been hitting the region hard this year, and it’s causing the wild Pokémon to act strangely. These storms have also been interfering with the region’s energy production. I fear that if we don’t come up with a way to reduce the storm damage, then we may lose our power supply.” He rested his hands on the table and looked down it. He was waiting for someone to pitch an idea, but it was silent. You leaned forward and sighed, causing everyone to turn and look at you.

“The child I have been mentoring mentioned seeing something like this in his dreams,” you looked up and made eye contact with Gordie briefly before turning to the Chairman. “He receives premonitions on occasion,” you explained, “He told me about seeing these storms, and seeing Pokémon dynamax in the wild. I believe that if what he is saying is true, then there is something in the stratosphere that is messing with the natural order of our region.” Both the Chairman and Leon tensed at the mention of wild dynamaxing. “Research will have to be conducted by sending something up there to record the data. This experiment will have to be brought to Professor Magnolia and her granddaughter Sonia for further analysis.” You leaned back, folding your hands neatly in your lap.

“Would it be possible to send a Pokémon like Corviknight up there?” Melony asked innocently, tapping her finger against her cheek in thought.

“Not with the risk of wild dynamaxing. If we were to let a dynamaxed Corviknight run wild, all hell would break loose!” Raihan shook his head. “We’ll have to send up a drone or something. No Pokémon. It’s too dangerous.” For once he was thinking rationally, which was rather surprising given the way he ran his gym.

“So what’s to be done about dynamaxed Pokémon in the wild?” Kabu rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward. He looked deep in thought. “What are we to tell the public if they see one? What will we do if someone gets killed?”

“I guess what we’ll have to do is clear the area and then engage. That’s what makes the most sense, anyways,” Gordie shrugged. He was right. No civilians should be around. It’d be far too dangerous for them to be near the fight.

The Chairman stepped forward and raised his hands, causing the room to fall silent. A gentle, but fake, smile painted his lips. “Now now, we cannot just rush into action because of a dream a little boy had. We must think clearly. All it is is weather. Dynamaxing Pokémon in the wild? Such a thing is simply unheard of!” You shot him a glare before rising from your seat and pointing an accusatory finger at him.

“This is a threat that should not be taken lightly regardless of whether or not the source is a child! I have seen his premonitions come true in the past, so who’s to say that this one won’t? Did you not ask for suggestions? Did you not ask for help?” You scoffed, rolling your eyes. “There are going to be innocent lives lost if action isn’t taken.”

“We need you to think rationally for a second, y/n.” Chairman Rose continued to smile, only furthering your anger. You knew the game he was playing, and decided to play along with him. With a deep breath, you wiped your face of any emotion that could be used against you.

“No, what we need are experiments and studies done on the matter at hand. You wanted our input, which is why you put the regions most talented trainers into one room. Why ask for help if you’re going to turn down our suggestions? Do you have something to hide, Rose?” Placing your hands onto the table and hunching over, you eyed your fellow trainers. None of them dared to speak up against the two of you, not even Kabu and Raihan. With a sigh, you stood upright, running your fingers through your hair to collect yourself. The room was filled with tension. You headed towards the door in silence, your hand on the handle as you looked over your shoulder at the Chairman. “You know where to find me.”

And you left just like that. The Chairman struggled to regain the attention of the room afterwards, as everyone seemed uneasy with your warning.

“What if she’s right?” Piers spoke up. Rose had forgotten all about Piers. He cringed internally as he spoke. “The storms and the behavior of the Pokémon. They’ve gotta be connected somehow.” The man crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. “I dunno a whole lot ‘bout dynamaxing, but I think I get the gist. A substitute might be able to be used to make up for the lack of the bond between Pokémon and trainer, which could lead to the wild dynamaxing. If there’s somethin’ staring enough in the atmosphere, then that might fuck with the power of the Pokémon.” Piers had always been intelligent, despite not being able to receive a proper education. In a way, it made him all the more unlikeable to Rose.

“Surely not. The weather being related to Pokémon behavior? Who’s heard of such a thing?” Chairman Rose continued to smile softly, his hands folded neatly before him. Raihan stood up to defend his peer, and Leon flinched. It was suddenly becoming too much for him to bear.

“Piers has a point here. The weather has affected the behavior of Pokémon before, so why can’t it be doing that now?” He shrugged. “Anyways, I’ve never seen y/n lose her cool like that before, so things must be serious. I don’t care if you believe in premonitions or whatever, it’s something worth looking into.” He left, and Piers followed him. They didn’t know you all too well, but they did know that you were well versed in your work. If you deemed it to be true, then the chances of it being true were high. Rarely were you wrong.

Not too long after Raihan’s exit, Gordie and Melony left. Kabu followed after them, and Nessa and Milo made excuses to get back to their own gyms. Bea hadn’t even shown up to the meeting in the first place, which left Leon with the Chairman.

And he had never seen him so upset.

“Let them do all the research they want,” he waved his arm dismissively. “They’ll never figure it out. To them, it’s just a little bad weather. But you know it’s much more than that,” he turned around and looked deep into Leon’s eyes. “No matter how close they get, they’ll never get there.”

Meanwhile, you were cursing Ballonlea for not having a train station. Now you were forced to ride a flying taxi. In the rain. A severe thunderstorm warning had been issued right as you were leaving Wyndon, and that was when the sky had begun to fall out. You couldn’t remember the last time it had rained so hard, but you were thankful that the Corviknight taking you home was unbothered by it. The wind was strong, though, and it kept blowing the poor thing off of its course.

Once you had landed, you gave the Pokémon a handful of berries and took shelter in the gym. You were soaked, to say the least. The gym was empty, as it was closed for the weekend. With this in mind, you headed to the locker rooms to get changed. The only thing you had in your locker was the official uniform for ghost types, but that was the least of your worries. You let your Pokémon loose before showering and changing. The uniform made you look fourteen all over again. You shuddered.

Outside, the rain continued to pour, hitting the roof of the gym with such force that it made you wince. Thunder roared and lightning flashed all around the town. It seemed the whole region was subjected to the wrath of nature. You had finally gotten brave enough to enter the lobby when Allister rushed into the gym. He was drenched, and his mask was hanging on by a thread. Quickly, you walked over to him and straightened him up, fixing his mask and handing him your towel.

“Why are you here, child? Why are you not back at the house?” You questioned sternly, drying off his hair as gently as you could. He shook his head anxiously and pointed to the lobby doors.

“M-Mimikyu told me there w-was someone in the woods!” The child managed to get out, his voice shaky. He sounded spooked, despite not seeing this person himself.

“Are they okay? Do you know who they are?” You continued to dry him off.

“No… Mimikyu s-said they were lost! I can’t go h-help I’m too scared!” He was begging you to go out into the pouring rain, again, to go save someone that was stuck in the Glimwood Tangle. You really wanted to tell him no, but you just couldn’t. A heavy sigh left your lips as you begrudgingly walked towards the doors. Your Chandelure took it upon itself to follow you, providing some protection for your trip.

The rain was still coming down harshly, but you didn’t let it sway your movement. Someone was lost in an area that you were meant to protect. You weren’t going to leave them behind in a wicked storm like this. There was no telling what could happen to them if you didn’t make it in time.

You started out by walking fast, but then broke out into a jog upon reaching the entrance to the Glimwood Tangle. After searching for a few minutes, you began to call out, praying that the person you were looking for was still conscious. You had begun to shiver, the rain seeping into your skin and chilling your bones. Panic overwhelmed you as you searched. The area was big, naturally, and a proper search would have lasted hours. Finally, you strayed off the main path and into the deep grass.

“Hey!” You shouted, your voice competing with the rain in volume. You then stumbled across a small cave hidden behind some bushes, and upon peering into the entrance, you found what you were looking for. There lay a man on the ground, unconscious and soaked. A Charizard sat behind him. It eyed you warily the closer you got to him, and you were worried it would attack. Thankfully, you were able to get it into its pokéball before anything bad could happen.

Your Chandelure illuminated the area, allowing you to catch a good look at the man you were saving.

“Leon?!” You shouted in surprise, trying your damndest to pull him up off of the ground. He seemed to come to at the sound of your voice, helping you manage his weight the best he could. All you wanted to know was the reason for him being in Ballonlea. Plus with the storm going on outside, it would have been more reasonable to wait it out before traveling.

With the help of your Chandelure, and your Gengar that had found its way to you, you dragged Leon back to your place. It took quite some time, but you made it. Thankfully, Allister had gone back to the house, greeting you at the door with a worried expression. That had been one of the few times you had seen him without his mask on.

“I need you to help me get him to the guest room,” you said through clenched teeth. The weight of the champion on your shoulder was beginning to become unbearable, and you needed to set him down. Allister nodded and helped you get him to the guest bedroom of your house. Leon was absolutely soaked, but you’d deal with that later. He seemed slightly out of it, which made you feel bad. Hesitantly, you sat down on the edge of the bed and whispered to him. “Don’t worry. We’ll get you warmed up here soon. If you need anything, just call for one of us.”

You had taken off his cape and hat, setting them to the side so that they could dry. He looked so different without them. It was like those two things defined his personality. If not for them, then who would he be? You frowned before leaving the room. The storm continued to rage relentlessly outside. This was not how you wished to spend your evening.

Lost With You | Leon x Reader (Part I)

Image Source

Rating: Mature (probably, eventually NSFW - this part is just language, I think?)

You were only doing this to begin with because you respected Professor Magnolia a great deal and because she was an old friend of your dad’s. It had been ages since you’d been back to Galar, so the region was already strange enough to acclimate to. But this… this was pushing it.

****************************************************

After having met the professor at her lab in Wedgehurst for “tea and a chat,” you were regaled with her findings around the Dynamax phenomenon and given a condensed, but impassioned recap of the most recent events surrounding Leon, the former chairman Rose and the newly crowned champion. You’d been traveling with your team for so long that most of this was lost to you — outside of a few rumblings here and there because of the widely televised Champion Cup. You knew of the former champion’s reputation as being undefeated, up until recently, of course, but never paid much mind. Titles and fame didn’t hold much weight for you. What really mattered were the bonds you built with your Pokémon and putting your all into your training; mind, body and soul.

You were still processing Professor Magnolia’s disclosures, absently sipping on your wonderfully fragrant pecha lavender tea, when her sage green eyes focused on you from behind her inverted triangular glasses. “So, my dear, the reason I’ve asked you here today is that I’d like you to do some field research for me,” the ivory-haired woman stated, producing from her lab coat a thick white wristband with blue and red trim, and a shiny black plate embedded front and center. “With your skills as a trainer and knowledge of Pokémon from so many regions, I couldn’t imagine anyone better to study the effects of Dynamaxing on Pokémon firsthand,” she continued. You stilled, fingers tracing the sides of your teacup as you searched your mind for the words to respond. Finally taking a soft inhale, you spoke. “I- Are you sure, professor? I don’t even entirely know how all this Dynamaxing business works.”

You could see the subtlest smile at the corners of the professor’s lips as she affirmed her certainty, a hand reaching out to grasp your wrist and squeeze it. “I’m positive. Your and your Pokémon’s lack of exposure to it is largely beneficial in this case, it allows us to establish a ground zero.”

“Besides, I would never be callous enough to send you out on your own to the Wild Area. I’ve arranged an escort for you— who…” she trailed off, checking her wristwatch, “should’ve been here some time ago.” Before you even had the moment to properly ponder the implications of the request or who on earth you were suddenly going to be sent out on this mission with, your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the lab door opening and shutting, followed by heavy, hurried footsteps that seemed to be headed towards the two of you.

"Sorry, professor! I could've sworn I was on my way here, but I somehow ended up in Hammerlocke," a breathy voice called out, the hint of a chuckle beneath it. Just a moment after, you see someone rounding the corner and the first thing you notice is a head of wild, violet hair, just barely tucked beneath a black snapback hat. Professor Magnolia propped herself up on her cane and rose from her seat, her expression flat and unsurprised. In resignation, she sighs, "Well, I suppose I should be worried were you to not have gotten lost." You instinctively follow suit and stand, feeling the older woman's hand behind your arm, nudging you towards the new arrival. "This is Leon, and while I know this likely isn't the most promising of first impressions," the researcher sent a serious look in the man's direction, before looking back to you, "I feel much more at peace with him accompanying you to the Wild Area." All the chairman could offer in response was a nervous grin, his hand rising to rub at the back of his neck. Somehow it felt like this wasn't a rare occurrence.

****************************************************

Your futile attempts at protesting completely and utterly failed. So here you were, sitting on the train from Wedgehurst to the Wild Area next to this man you didn't know anything about other than his having been the longest reigning champion. There had been an awkward silence between the two of you since Professor Magnolia saw you off at that station, but you were pretty sure you heard Leon begin to speak a couple times and maybe deciding against it. If it were up to you, you wouldn't mind it staying that way because you had always traveled on your own anyway. The silence gave you time to reflect and plan out your next move.

After clearing his throat as quietly as possible, you hear your appointed escort's voice over the hum of the train moving along the tracks. "I heard from the professor you've got a pretty incredible shiny Ninetales as your companion?" Your brow quirks as you shift to face Leon and pause, halting your initial sarcastic inclinations in lieu of a more neutral one. "I do," you respond with with a nod, "Ninetales has been with me since I was a kid and it was a Vulpix." A smile playing on the former champion's features, he leaned in slightly. "Sounds like you two have a pretty strong connection. Makes me think of me and Charizard; we've been through a lot," Leon remarks. You weren't really sure how to react to the sudden depth in his reflections, so you opted for the safe route and went for an "Mm. I get that."

By the time the two of you had made it to the Meetup Spot outside of the Wild Area, Leon had become entirely too comfortable and had begun spouting off about his time as champion, the legacy of the Battle Tower and, in such grandiose terms, the future of Galar. Outside of a 'gentle' reminder (lest he get sidetracked) that you had to make it to the Lake of Outrage soon, you endured his long-winded explanations, much to your own surprise. He assured you that he'd taken this route a million times before. You were skeptical, but ended up going against your better instincts and letting him take the lead with the rationale that this was his home region. Along the way, you had been charged by a handful of wild Pokémon, but between your Ninetales and Dragonite, and his Charizard and Aegislash, you were able to get the situations in hand rather quickly. You quickly shoveled down the roaming thought that Leon might've actually been a shockingly skilled trainer - which, yes, obviously he had to have been to some extent, all things considered but... you'd been around enough to know that sometimes one's standing isn't always deserved. You had to see it with your own eyes.

****************************************************

It eventually became evident that you had been walking for ages and it didn't seem like you were getting anywhere close to your destination, so you stop dead in your tracks. Leon notices and stops his ongoing dialogue to ask if "everything's okay." You look directly at him, your deep brown hues making contact with his amber ones, the restraint in your voice palpable as you finally speak, ".... There's absolutely no way we've been going in the right direction, Leon. According to my Rotomphone, we should've gotten there hours ago." The much taller man tilts his head, framing his chin with the joint of his thumb and index finger as he moves beside you, gaze roving over the digital map projected on your device. "Huh," he muses before shifting his weight back into his heels, hands falling to his hips. "Yeah, you're right... we're definitely on the opposite side of the Wild Area," Leon laughed loudly, the painfully nonchalant manner of his reaction shooting needles all down your spine.

"Okay, that's it. You have got to be kidding me." Your hands balled into fists at your sides, you square your shoulders and glare up at Leon, your anger practically coming off of you in waves. "It's one thing that Professor Magnolia has me out here testing out this whole Dynamaxing thing, but with you??," you groaned, all of the day's pent up frustration suddenly seeping through the cracks. Leon, clearly caught off guard by this, raised his hands in front of him and tried to interject. "H-hey, it's oka---" "No, it's a joke. You and all this fanfare and promotions and "champion this and that," like what the hell. Do you even actually care about Pokémon or is this all just for show?"

That struck a nerve. Leon at this point is towering over you, the casual expression he wore replaced by a sudden sense of seriousness, a wrinkle working its way between his brows. "How can you say that? I was the undefeated champion for god knows how long - you think that comes from not caring?," the Galarian shot back, his tone noticeably deeper than it was before. You could feel the shift in his aura and although you couldn't pretend to know all of his sides, this felt... different. You weren't going to back down though, that wasn't an option. The next words left your mouth before you even knew they were coming, you could feel the preemptive regret but your voice held firm. "Again with the 'undefeated.' You never questioned whether Rose shifted the odds in your favor? Convenient how that streak was broken once he was go--"

The wind was swiftly knocked out of you as you found yourself backed up against a tree, one of Leon's large hands gripping you by the jawline and his other one pressed beside you, caging you in. His eyes glowed a dangerous gold, his visage dark. He all but closed the gap between your bodies as he came within inches of your face, his breath ghosting over your skin. "Shut. The. Fuck. Up," he growled, a certain warning tone presenting itself in his words. You winced at the sudden onslaught of sensations - between the roughness of the bark against your back, the heat emanating from the proximity and the rough grasp preventing you from moving your head, it took you a minute to process what exactly just happened. "You have no idea what it was like all of those years, devoting myself to making this place all that I knew it could be," Leon continued, his gaze lowering as he spoke, "just to find out the man who sponsored you, who made it possible to get to where you were -- that it was all a sham. All a bloody part of a madman's crazed ambitions."

Taking a deep, recentering breath, you wrapped your hand around the one Leon had against the side your face, making sure you had his attention. "Sounds like you've been carrying a lot of pain over this all on your own. It must have been lonely," you acknowledged, allowing your voice to soften just a touch. Leon's eyes met yours again, a hint of surprise painted over the once burning amber. If it weren't for this sudden show of vulnerability, you were probably just moments away from taking a knee to the man's groin, but - you understood there were some scars that ran deep. "And look, I don't really know you and shouldn't have said what I did but... you can't let that shit taint all that you worked for, and what it meant to you. You inspired people. None of what happened takes that away." Feeling the former champion's grip loosen, you draw it away from your face and place your other hand on his chest, almost as if to brace him. "I just wish you weren't so loud about it," you sighed, briefly closing your eyes in that moment to avoid seeing whatever Leon's expression might've been right then. This was exactly the type of messy situation you didn't want to get caught up in, it's just too much baggage.

Sliding his hand from your grasp, you felt him bring it back to your face again, this time, much more tenderly. Leon's free arm snaked around your waist and pulled you against him, sending your lips crashing into one other's and causing your breath to hitch sharply in the back of your throat. The kiss was needy, filled with raw emotion. Your body betrayed you, giving way to a slight shudder before leaning deeper into his touch. Maybe it was just the adrenaline rush, but you could've sworn his pulse was racing against your skin. Pulling back, Leon runs his thumb across your cheek, whispering almost inaudibly. "Thank you."

A/N: Oops, this was originally intended to be a oneshot ngl. It ended up so much longer lol.

[vrisrezis]

Hi it’s me again I was wondering if you could do tai ham, Leon, brock and Guzman x insecure reader if you don’t feel comfortable about then you don’t have

Leon is good at comforting you, he hates the idea of you being insecure about yourself though. He thinks you’re really great and he’s familiar with the terrible feeling so he doesn’t like knowing you’re going through it. Often helps through jokes.

Brock is all about pep talks and trying to convince you that you’re amazing!! He says it with so much genuine sincerity, there’s no doubt in his mind and he says it in such a matter of a fact way it’s almost impossible to deny it as truth.

Guzma is insecure too, but he truly doesn’t know how to help aside from that “it’s just shit in your head, but I get it” he doesn’t ever fault you for it, even if you act rude or anything because of your insecurities. He’s the most understanding.
