Okay, so since Kieran & Drayton don't seem to have a ship name yet and are somewhat of a rare pair, I am officially suggesting HydrappleShipping until further notice. The romantic connotations behind trading Applins aside, Kieran has one and Drayton gives you its evolution move, it makes sense.

Spring Break in Unova, chapter 1: Home for the Holidays

It's spring break, and the newly coupled-up BB6 have decided to spend it together. The three young couples are sure to find out that with passion comes the need for a lot of growing up, especially when families get involved.

This is a kind-of-sort-of request that I'm doing for a friend on Discord. It's also a sort of continuation from my earlier story, "The Bet," but you won't need to have read it to understand it. I hope you all enjoy this.

---

Drayton opened the door to his dorm, flung down his bookbag, threw off his jacket, put on his headset and sank into his gaming chair. He’d had the good luck of having all his midterms before spring break, which meant he could look forward to a week of doing what he was currently getting a headstart in: absolutely fuck all. He moved his character with practiced grace through some platformer Kieran’s Paldea friend had designed, absolutely in the zone. Then, a loud banging at the door caught him off guard and made him smush his character against a wall of spikes, wrecking his no-damage run.

Grumbling, Drayton paused the game and got up to see who was making that racket, though there was only one person he knew who would knock like that just to take him out of his gamer focus.

Drayton opened the door, and, as expected, Crispin was there, a big smile on his face that made Drayton wonder what he was planning.

“If you’d have knocked much harder, you’d have beaten down the door,” Drayton said, a lazy smile on his face.

“Sorry, Dray. You didn’t hear me when I was quieter, and I wanted to repay you a favour!”

“...Go on.”

“Remember when we had that bet, and you held me to asking Lacey out even though I won?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Well, Lacey asked me to spend a whole week- all of spring break- with her family. And word is that her dad is scary. So here’s what I’m thinking. If I make it the whole week, you have to finally ask your crush out at the end of it. How’s it sound?”

Drayton froze up at that last part, but he managed to keep his cool. “Somehow I don’t think this is just about repaying a favour,” he deadpanned.

Crispin shrunk into himself a bit in embarrassment. “Yeah… well… I’m also really nervous, and I’d really appreciate the extra push, I guess…”

Drayton chuckled. “I’ll think about it, kay? I’ll let you know tonight when we meet the others at the cafeteria.”

Crispin smiled and gave a thumbs up. “You got it!” he exclaimed. “See you there!”

With that, Crispin dashed out the door, leaving Drayton to lay back on his bed and contemplate. Drayton had gotten pretty close to Kieran in the months since his and Crispin’s last bet had gotten them spending time together, and yeah, Drayton had been finding him pretty attractive now that he looked and acted more mature. But asking him out? Drayton wasn’t sure his pride could take it if he got rejected by someone he was so out of the league of. And he liked things as they were right now. Why fix what wasn’t broken and risk the whole thing falling apart?

On the other hand… things could only stay the same between them for so long. There’d been a lot of lingering glances between them lately. Drayton could remember how, just a few days ago Kieran had come over, they’d been laughing over some silly game while sitting on the floor and Kieran had fallen right onto him. Drayton had put him in a headlock, and soon they’d been on the ground one on top of the other. The look Kieran had given him when they’d separated before he blushed and looked away… yeah, Drayton was sure of it. Kieran had liked that. 

Yeah, it was time to rip the bandaid off. Even if Kieran had some silly reason for not wanting to date, Drayton could rest easy knowing that Kieran wished they could.

-

Drayton was, naturally, the last one to the cafeteria. Carmine, Kieran, Crispin, Lacey, and Amarys were already there, chatting over ice cream.

“Hey, Drayton,” Lacey said as he approached. “We were just talking about how we think we did or will do on midterms. How do you think you did?”

“Fine,” Drayton said dismissively before turning to Kieran. “Hey, Kieran. You got any plans for spring break?”

“Not really. Studying, gaming. There’s not a lot to do in Kitakami.” By now, Drayton knew that Kieran would also be spending time helping his grandma in the garden and the kitchen, but he wouldn’t admit that in front of a group of other teenagers.

“Well, wanna spend it in Unova with my family instead?” Drayton offered.

“I mean… sure! It could be fun. It’ll cool to find out about your family.”

“Great,” Drayton replied. He looked over to Crispin and gave him a slight “we’re on,” nod, to which Crispin grinned and nodded in return.

“Aw, how nice!” Lacey chimed in. “Aside from Carmine, we’ll all be in reach of each other for the break. We should meet up sometime.”

“Yes,” Amarys said in her usual monotone. “That sounds enjoyable. But let’s not leave Carmine out.” She turned to Carmine. “Carmine, would you like to join us? I could ask my parents to have you. I’m sure they’d say yes.”

Carmine looked rather surprised for no reason Drayton could deduce. “Yes, I’d love to! We’ll make sure it’s a good break,” she said with way more intensity than the situation asked for.

Is something going on there, or is it just Carmine being Carmine? Drayton wondered. Eh, probably just Carmine.

“Awesome!” Crispin sang out.  “This is gonna be the best spring break ever!”

The group concurred as they continued making plans for the week.

—

The trip to Unova was quick, and soon the six Blueberry Academy students had split off into pairs and gotten on buses headed to separate cities.

Carmine and Amarys found seats at the back of the relatively empty bus, and Carmine pulled Amarys close, a gesture Amarys had learned not to fight- not that she’d ever wanted to.

“Is there anything I should know about your parents before I meet them?” Carmine asked.

“Not particularly,” Amarys answered.

“You can tell me anything. Remember that,” Carmine asserted, not for the first time in their relationship.

“Yes,” Amarys replied, tilting her head quizzically. “You as well. Why are you reminding me of that now?”

“No particular reason. Anyhow, if the others invite us out, we’re going, no matter what, alright?”

“So long as I have enough time to study, then yes, we will.”

Carmine surmised that she wouldn’t get much more information from Amarys, so she turned her attention to the passing valleys outside the window. Amarys seemed calm enough, but it was hard to tell with her. And frankly, there was so much that made Carmine think that things hadn’t been great for Amarys in the past. No one acted as stiff and serious as Amarys without something happening to cause it, and the fact that she’d started battling as young as she had and was so focused on her studies and so successful at everything made Carmine wonder if she wasn’t facing immense pressure at home. Carmine figured Amarys was lucky to have her to teach her how to live and to encourage her art, her friendships, and her more sensitive side. And now, Carmine would have a chance to take a look at the root of the problem. It wasn’t one she’d waste.

Carmine was taken out of her thoughts by Amarys taking her hand. She hadn’t noticed until that moment, but she’d balled her hands into shaking fists. As had happened a few times before, Carmine took Amarys’ hand and steadied herself. Amarys was so good at telling when Carmine needed to be taken out of her own head. And thankfully, this time she didn’t ask what was wrong.

Just then, the bus passed by a field of purple flowers peaking out from the snow. Amarys got out her rotom phone to take a picture. “This would make a beautiful painting,” she said, and the conversation moved on to art.

Before long, the bus had entered a city of skyscrapers. Carmine had seen plenty of Castelia from pictures Amarys had sent her, but seeing it in person was a whole other experience. Everything was so big, and the streets were so busy. This was a place where more happened than the mind could imagine.

Before Carmine could even finish wrapping her head around the immensity of the city, the bus had come to their stop. From there, it was a couple blocks’ walk to the apartment building Amarys lived in, and an elevator ride up to the fifth floor. Carmine knocked on the door, bracing herself for whatever was inside.

The door was opened by a tall, slender woman with glasses and her hair in a bun. “Amarys!” the woman, presumably Amarys’ mom, exclaimed, wrapping her daughter up in a hug. “How are things at the academy?”

“Good,” Amarys answered without enthusiasm. “I’m doing well in my classes, and I was elected president of the student council.”

“That’s great. And it’s great that I’ll finally get to meet this girl you’ve been telling me about. You two are just in time for lunch. Come on in.”

The two stepped in, and Carmine took a look around. The place was about what Carmine expected- a higher-class place, lots of books on the shelves- but a lot cozier. She could even see what looked like Amarys’ paintings on the walls. Carmine wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but somehow the misalignment just put her more on edge. Amarys guided Carmine to her room, where they put their bags before heading to the table.

“So,” Carmine said once they were seated and everyone was serving themselves, “what got you to put Amarys in Blueberry Academy?”

“It just seemed like a good fit,” her father said. “Rigourous enough to challenge her, with more like-minded people than a public school. Plus, she’s always been into battling.”

Carmine nodded, thinking of how Amarys told her she’d been battling since preschool. No one did that without parental pressure. “Right… I’m sure bragging rights for having her in a year early had nothing to do with it.”

Amarys’ father looked to her mother as if looking for a cue on how to respond, and Amarys was looking at Carmine like she’d grown a second head.

“Okay,” her mother said, voice dripping with a mean girl energy that Carmine recognized all too well. “I don’t know where that came from, but I’m going to ignore it. How are things at school going for you, Carmine? Are you doing well in your classes? Join any extracurricular?”

“It’s great. Everything is just great,” Carmine replied, trying not to sound too defensive, before going into some modest, believable lies that only her own parents would be able to fact-check.

Why are they acting like I’m the crazy one? Carmine wondered, teeth grit. It’s like they’re testing me. Well, I’m not letting my guard down. I’ll find out what they’re hiding.

—

Crispin’s muscles strained as he struggled to pick up the pickaxe. The problem wasn’t the weight of the thing, it was that Crispin had been at this since eight this morning, and it was almost noon.

“Come on now,” Clay barked, breaking chunks of coal off the wall with his own axe. “The day’s not half over. This is what I did before business took off. Put yer back into it.”

With a grunt, Crispin raised the pickaxe above his head and let it fall, picking off a wimpy, hand-sized piece of ore. If this was Clay’s test to make sure he was a real man, Crispin was pretty sure he was failing it really badly.

“Hey, Dad,” came Lacey’s voice. “You forgot your lunch on the counter, so Mom sent me to drop it off for you. And I was wondering- there’s a musical in town and I would really like to bring Crispin to it. Could I steal him away?”

Crispin looked away from his work and to his possible salvation. Lacey was swaying girlishly on the balls of her feet and giving Clay the same fairy eyes that had gotten Crispin to put up with Clay in the first place instead of running like all of Lacey’s previous dates.

“O’course. Just don’t tire ‘im out too much before his shift tomorrow.”

“Of course,” Lacey agreed. “Thank you, Dad.”

Lacey grabbed Crispin’s hand and led him out of the mine. It was a good thing she was holding onto him, too, because Crispin couldn’t have navigated those dark tunnels by himself, and the bright light of day was just as disorienting as the darkness had been after he’d spent so long underground. “Hey, Lacey… Thanks for getting me off work, but I’m really tired. Could we go to a show some other time?”

Lacey giggled. “There is no show. And Dad didn’t forget his lunch, either. I took it out of his bag so I’d have an extra excuse to come and rescue you.” She took a bottle of fresh water out of her bag and tossed it to Crispin, who caught it. “Here. You must be thirsty.”

“...Thanks.”

“Hey. Y’know, this is the longest anyone’s lasted my dad’s test. You’re doing great. More than great. You’re doing fantastic. I’m really sorry he’s so old-fashioned. I’m sure glad I’m his daughter instead of his son, or he’d probably have me in the mines instead!”

“Heh… yeah… lucky.”

“Well, mostly. I’d rather be treated like a cute little thing than be expected to do everything myself or get berated for it. But it’s a good thing I like cute things and fairies. He’d never let me specialize in steel-types, or fire, or dragon, or ghost, or dark…” As Lacey listed types, the joy left her voice. “He only lets me use excadrill because it used to be his Pokémon, so he trusts it. I wish I trusted me instead. But hey, fairies are the cutest! I’d have picked them no matter what!” Lacey flashed a slightly-forced smile, which then fell somewhat. “But it not being much of a choice? It’s just not right…”

Crispin had heard her say those four words a million times, but never without her hand gesture or so little assertiveness. It just wasn’t right. But Crispin wasn’t sure how to lift the mood. “Geez, when you put it that way, maybe I’m the lucky one. I’d hate being treated like I can’t do anything myself!”

“Well, maybe. Anyhow, that’s why he insists on testing all my boyfriends. He thinks they’ve gotta be able to protect and provide for me. But if it makes you feel better, I don’t think you need to be a ‘real man’ to be perfect. You’re always cooking something up even when you’re not literally cooking. And you are super, super cute.”

That last part made Crispin blush. He knew that for Lacey, that was the highest praise. “Thanks…” Crispin said.

Lacey frowned. Then, she smiled. “I think I know what’ll perk you up. How’s about a bet? You show my dad that you don’t need any testing because you’ll be a great chef and a great businessman, and I’ll show him that I can look out for myself. How’s it sound?”

“You’re on!” he exclaimed just as they got to Lacey’s house.

Soon, the two were at Lacey’s house. “Great. Now, go take a shower. I don’t want any coal dust on my bed while we plan things out!”

—

“Wowzers, this place is like a sci-fi movie!” Kieran exclaimed as they walked through the chrome streets that sprawled out between blocks of equally chrome skyscrapers.

“Yeah, I guess it is,” Drayton said. “Opelucid wasn’t a bad place to grow up. Has some nice clubs I could sneak into. May as well do that this week since we won’t have a single responsibility to haunt us.”

That made Kieran’s eyes light up even more. “Oh, yeah! I’ve never been to a nightclub before! You think I could pass as an adult now that I turned fifteen?”

Drayton chuckled as they turned the corner to his house. “Well… maybe. But the owners know me well enough that they’d let us in if you were twelve.” Drayton turned to Kieran as he rang the doorbell, momentarily savouring the look of indignation on his face before the door opened.

A short, spunky-looking girl with wild purple hair had opened the door, and Drayton felt his enthusiasm for the break deflate like an untied balloon.

“Oh. You’re here,” Drayton deadpanned.

“Yep,” Iris said, apparently none too put off by his attitude. “Visiting for the week. Nice to see you, too, cousin!”

“Hey, Kieran, let’s go to my room,” Drayton said, taking Kieran by the wrist and heading for it.

Kieran let out a surprised, “Huh?” but followed along. 

Thankfully, Drayton got Kieran distracted with some games, and he didn’t ask questions or ask to come out of his room until Iris called them for dinner. Unthankfully, dinner was with Drayden and Iris.

“So, you’re the kid my cousin’s been talking about, huh?” Iris asked. “You two must have really made amends if he invited you here!”

Drayton’s face went red as he regretted ever venting to Iris about anything. It looked like Kieran could sense the tension in the room as well- he looked like he might choke on his food. “Heh. Yeah, we’ve come quite a ways…”

“Since you beat him at your school club?” Iris asked innocently, as though she wasn’t intentionally belittling his achievements. Who knew, maybe she wasn’t.

“At the school you’re three years too young to get into, that produces some of the best trainers there are? Yeah.”

“How are things as champion of Unova, Iris?” Drayden asked, shooting Drayton a sharp glare that said, “quit making snippy comments towards my adopted child.”

“It’s great!” Iris exclaimed. “Grimsley has been teaching me all kinds of card games, and I’ve started learning some mixed martial arts stuff from Marshall.” Iris giggled. “If a challenger comes by one day and one of my Pokémon isn’t feeling it, maybe I’ll just be my own sixth slot.”

Drayden chuckled. “Learning new skills is fine and good, but it won’t save you from an ice beam.”

“Don’t worry,  I’m joking. I have more than six Pokémon, so I always have backups.”

Drayden nodded. “That sounds wonderful. It sounds as though you’ve achieved a lot, and your time with the elite four has helped you grow.”

“I bet,” Drayton added. “I mean, it’s not exactly special for champions to be kids these days. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Elite Four are trained in babysitting when they’re hired.”

Drayden turned his sharp eyes to Drayton. “It isn’t new for champions to rise during their journeys, Drayton. Almost half of them do. Even Cynthia was only fourteen when she became champion, and she held her title for fourteen years. Yes, Iris isn’t the only younger champion in the world right now, but that doesn’t mean she won’t keep her title a long time. Meanwhile, all you’ve managed to accomplish is to become a fake Elite Four member in a school you should have graduated from already.”

Kieran looked over to Drayton, probably expecting either a comeback or Drayton’s classic chill indifference. Instead, Drayton just kept his head down and kept eating.

“Hey, i-it’s Drayton’s third year,” Kieran cut in, “it’s a four-year program. He’s not supposed to have graduated yet.”

Drayton gently touched Kieran’s arm. When Kieran looked over to him, he shook his head to let him know he should shut his mouth.

“Given that he’s already been held back two or three times, the point stands,” Drayden replied calmly.

Drayton kept a straight face and nodded. He knew by now that defending himself against Drayden was a lost cause- he’d call it “talking back” and use it as more evidence of Drayton’s inadequacy.

Drayton could feel Kieran’s eyes on him, confused. Kieran knew him as this chill rebel, and he wasn’t acting like one right now. Hopefully he’d just forget about it.

The four finished up dinner quickly, and then Drayton herded Kieran to his room and put on his choice of movie to keep them from talking too much. Soon enough, it was time for bed. There wasn’t much talking except about basic things- pop culture and whatnot- and Drayton could feel that Kieran sensed something was off. As Drayton lay awake that night, he wondered to himself- with Drayden and Iris around, how was he going to regain his cool image in Kieran’s eyes by the end of the week? Because there was no way he could ask Kieran out like this.

“Hey, Drayton?” came Kieran’s voice. “You wanna talk about what just happened?”

Mainseries Pokemon characters who can be argued to be bisexual-coded (due to their implied crush on the player)

1. Shauna (Pokemon X and Y)

Kalos takes place in France, and Paris is the city of love. So, in the words of Junichi Masuda, "I wanted to implement some elements of romance with Shauna when playing as a boy and express a deep friendship when playing as a girl."

However, due to the VERY few dialogue changes between female vs male protags (as well as actions Shauna takes that are intended to imply romantic interest being the same across all player types, such as her staying behind with the player in the early-game forest), this can be argued to be unintentional bisexual-coding.

2. Lillie (Pokemon Sun and Moon)

Lillie is implied to have a crush on the player. When the player character is female, on Exeggutor Island, she says, "I want to become a Trainer, and learn all the things you know, Selene..." When the player character is male, she says, "I think... I'd like to become a Trainer, too. And travel together with you, Elio..."

Obviously, the difference between these two dialogues makes it pretty clear that they want her dialogue with Elio to be interpreted as more romantically-inclined. However, much like Shauna, Lillie's actions and dialogue varying VERY little otherwise between female vs male protags can be read as unintentional bisexual-coding.

3. Kieran

Kieran is the first character here to receive absolutely zero dialogue changes across player gender. Additionally, I'd say he's the character that we get the strongest hints regarding romantic feelings towards the player with.

Kieran has multiple moments where he's implied to feel romantically towards the player. These include, but are not limited to:

His sister saying that he's "been all googly-eyed over you" since you met, and that he "wouldn't stop talking about you - even at home. I seriously couldn't get him to shut up." Kieran reacts with embarrassment when she says this to the MC.

Him saying, "You're...you're special," before pausing, then getting embarrassed and rushing to change the subject.

When the MC calls him a friend, he responds, "What?! R-really?! We're friends? F-friends... I feel all tingly and funny hearing that... Ehehe..."

After the MC changes into their festival outfit, Kieran says, "Whoa...", when seeing them for the first time.

The player can even seemingly flirt with Kieran; when Kieran describes letting Ogerpon move into his home, the player can teasingly ask when they, themself, can move in with Kieran.

These are all very common romantic tropes. I think Kieran is the closest thing that we have to a canonically bisexual mainline character at this moment.

4. Carmine

Carmine has a fewer number of specific moments compared to her brother, but she can still be easily read as having feelings for the player.

Her extreme reaction to Drayton asking the player on a date is the best example, with her bringing her hands up to her face, and saying, "A wha-?!" Once Drayton leaves, Carmine continues fuming. (This can also be chalked up to her general dislike towards Drayton and how he can be manipulative, but the fact that it's that request that sets her off specifically makes this also easily read as jealousy.)

And speaking of...

5. Drayton

While, like Kieran and Carmine, Drayton doesn't have any dialogue changes between if the player is male and female, it's not really clear how he actually feels about them.

He tells the player, male or female, that they can go on a cafeteria date to talk, which the game fully acknowledges as a romantic phrase via Carmine's extreme reaction. He also tells the player, "From one charming catch to another..."

This is very obviously him flirting with the player, but, due to his laid-back and just-a-liiittle-bit-sleazy nature, this more so comes across as him trying to tease the player character, rather than anything earnest.

If nothing else, he's at least confirmed to be comfortable with romantically teasing male classmates, which I would consider a win.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Could you do some headcanons of a Mc reader dating the BB League Elite 4 + Kieran but miraidon gets super jealous.

It gets to the point where they get out of their Pokeball to growl á them.

Amarys

While she isn't too good at expressing emotions herself, she can read the emotions of others quite well.

Apparently this extends to Pokémon, especially after she notices your Miraidon acting rather irate around her. It even got to the point where they kept bursting from their pokeball to growl at her whenever you're together.

"It seems your Agias has suddenly grown a dislike for me, [y/n]." She remarked one day. "But I cannot figure out why..have I done something to upset them recently?"

"Nothing that I know of. Although I think it's worth mentioning that they're actually called Miraidon, not Agias."

"..is that so? Then I will correct this error right away."

Both of you think that after she apologizes, the problem would be resolved...yet it continues, with Miraidon always budging into your conversations, trying to get you on their back and fly/drive off without warning, etc.

All of this happens despite there being no danger present.

Eventually, you chalk up their protective nature to one probable cause: Jealousy.

You were spending more time with Amarys, and perhaps that made your futuristic companion worried you'll spend less with them.

When you brought this up to your gf, she's surprised and isn't too sure how to resolve this..

Considering she's new to relationships, she didn't expect a Pokémon of all things to become so jealous of her.

You end up suggesting that the two bonded (outside of timed flying trials of course) so that they could learn to trust her more.

Despite lacking emotional depth, she still tries her best, knowing this would greatly benefit all three of you in the long run if you were going to continue dating.

Crispin

"Hey uh..your Pokémon is giving me a funny look again.....w-was the sandwich too spicy for them? I can always turn down the heat."

He's straight-up convinced that Miraidon is mad at him because he's making their sandwich the wrong way.

So he keeps changing up the ingredients, hoping to satisfy them (yet it doesn't help when they keep popping out of the pokeball and scaring him).

You've figured out ages ago that they were simply jealous of how much time you were spending with your new bf.

Alas, you're dating a chef who's not only a hothead, but an airhead as well.

"Do you think your Miraidon and Magmortar got into an argument? Because they keep staring at him like they wanna rip him apart..haha.."

"No, honey..it's you, not your Pokémon."

"....ohhh so you're saying I got into an argument with Miraidon! Yeah that makes sense..I did sorta lose my cool with them the other day..."

Sometimes you wonder if a bonk from that frying pan of his would help knock some sense into him....

Instead, though, you just have him sit down in the club room while you explain Miraidon's jealousy in detail.

Crispin finally understands and immediately feels bad (and a little dumb knowing it took him this long to realize it). He's rushing to apologize to your companion, promising to make them the best sandwich possible--hot or not.

He still gets nervous about kissing you/holding your hand when they're nearby, often feeling the need to hide behind the pan.

But you reassure him it's okay.

Drayton

Tbh he kinda relishes in the huffy demeanor your Miraidon has been displaying in recent days.

The way they gnash their teeth, circle around him, make sparks fly, hover over you, and light up their eyes as though preparing to use Electro Drift...

Yep, despite how flashy and futuristic they are...all Drayton sees is another dragon type Pokémon who's throwing temper tantrums.

And being such chill guy around dragons, he has no fear and instead teases them behind your back, getting them riled up.

"Oh c'mon. You don't scare me. I know you've been looking out for [y/n]...and watching them hang out with Kingdra and Archaludon-"

"Agiiaaassss.."

"...there it is." He laughs. "Look, I'm not "stealing" them from ya. So let's just try to get along for their sake, alright?"

"......"

"Right. I knew we'd come to an understandin'."

Somehow, the two are VERY good at hiding this little grudge from you, although you have noticed Miraidon being more protective than usual over you whenever Drayton's around.

But it boils over when they saw you shining his Archaludon's armor while on a picnic date, throwing a fit and almost having a fullblown battle with each other without either of you at the helm.

Luckily, all the other dragons on your team diffused the situation...

You're a little bit outraged (pun not intended) that Drayton never told you of Miraidon's jealousy issues--and that he was taunting them for it.

"C'mon, they know I'm only kidding around."

"...our Pokémon almost broke the damn table."

"I'll pay for the damages."

"I think you're missing the point here, babe.."

Lacey

From the moment she started showing you around the school...she wondered why Miraidon was acting weird.

Her first thought was that they could sense her being a fairy type trainer, but she isn't sure what to do about that, so she keeps quiet.

But after you two started dating, they grew more protective of you and jealous of her..and it's something she notices waaaay before you do.

After it gets to the point of them jumping out of their pokeball to scare her (and quickly go back in without you seeing them), her nerves were shot.

Even so, she doesn't want you to worry. So she keeps trying to be friendly towards them, but it's hard.

Doesn't help that Granbull is being quite sassy towards the electric/dragon type, too, growing just as protective over Lacey as they are over you.

And ofc she has to quell their argument before things turn ugly...and one day, it almost did.

"I'm sorry, but this is NOT right!" She crosses her arms, standing between the two Pokémon. "Granbull, I know you're better than this. And Miraidon, I know you don't trust me, but you need to-"

"What's going on, Lace?"

"!!!"

You were gone for all but two minutes, and you come back to your poor gf trying to stop a Pokémon battle from taking place.

Finally, she admits that Miraidon has been acting extremely jealous and it's made her nervous.

You feel terrible for not realizing this sooner, and promise to speak to your companion about it.

Least to say..you wind up coddling them and giving them treats, reassuring them you'll still pay attention to them--but they had to be nice to Lacey and not antagonize her fairies.

Reluctantly, they agree on the condition of getting a sandwich everyday.

Kieran

Considering Miraidon saved his life, it was definitely strange when that same Pokémon now seemingly hated his guts..

This all happened the moment you and him starting dating, with them popping out of the pokeball (and not because he mentioned sandwiches) and growling before you could share your first kiss.

It was embarrassing for Kieran, and he doesn't know how to earn their trust back.

He just muddles over the fact that he was...definitely less-than-kind to you, their trainer, back before the trip to Area Zero.

He said things to you that he didn't mean, things he regretted saying..and suddenly he wonders if Miraidon could have possibly heard all of that.

If they could hear you both discussing sandwiches, then surely....

It genuinely starts to stress him out, as he's trying so hard to make amends with everyone and not be hated anymore.

And yet he seemed to be forgiven by all...except for Miraidon.

Maybe they even regret saving him

You notice that your bf is starting to cower behind you at their presence, being scared to look them in the eye, etc.

Eventually, you get him to confess that he thinks your companion despises him, and the guilt resurfaces enough to make him cry, kneeling and pleading for their forgiveness.

But you comfort and reassure him that Miraidon's only jealous of you two spending so much time together.

"R-Really? That's all it was...?"

"Yep. I already gave them a stern talking to." You help him stand up. "I'm sorry they keep coming off as aggressive. They just gotta warm up to you a little more, that's all."

"So they don't..hate me?"

"Nope."

After that, Kieran tries his best to earn the dragon type's respect, becoming a bit braver with each interaction.

Dating The BB League Elite Four + Kieran 💕

Tags: GN! Reader, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Teal Mask & Indigo Disk Spoilers!

A/N: After finally getting dragged into the Pokémon rabbit hole, I honestly couldn't resist in doing one of these for my babies! Scarlet/Violet is my very first Pokémon experience, so hopefully I did these characters justice ^^

Feel free to follow my main @taruchinator & leave a request for future HCs!

Crispin 🔥

He's such a dork and incredibly quirky but don't you worry, he'll definitely be the one to ask you out first, no matter how many attempts it takes. Not like you'd say no to begin with.

As a partner, he's the kind of guy who would always try to cheer you up and have you in a happy mood, because when you're happy, he's happy! Anything from compliments, to jokes, to just giving you lots of affection.

Which brings us to the fact that he's huge on PDA. And the funny thing is he doesn't even realize he's doing it—he'll lean on you when you're showing him something in your Rotom Phone, rubbing circles on your palm when you're talking about your day, placing his chin on your shoulder while talking to the other club members—this man is all over you.

During your stay at Blueberry Academy, don't you dare spend your precious money on the cafeteria, he's got you covered. He'll ask you and learn about your tastes, creating new recipes and concoctions just for you, hoping to surprise you with something better and nutritious every day!

If you had a long day of training and doing BBQs, Crispin always comes by and makes sure you had a meal. And you better not be lying to him.

“Man, you've been out all day! Did you even have lunch?”

“.... I had a granola bar.”

“HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?”

It's safe to say that Koraidon/Miraidon adores him, and even makes you question whether it's you or your Pokémon who's dating him.

After you started going out, Crispin now makes sure to carry sandwiches with him at all times. Mostly for your oversized lizard boy, but also for you in case you need a quick snack to recharge. The legendary Pokémon is quick to thank him with licks and constant slobbering which always leaves the red-head a mess, but he tries to not let it bother him for your sake.

Whenever you guys aren't training, you'll be in your dorm rooms cooking and having laughs with your Pokémon over how clumsy they can be in the kitchen.

Overall, a sweet and supportive goofball who'll make sure you're always smiling and never have an empty stomach!

Amarys 👓

Obviously Amarys isn't the best at conveying her emotions. It doesn't mean she doesn't care, she just has a hard time figuring them out sometimes! Which is why it's incredibly strange to her when she starts having these weird sensations whenever she's around you.

She feels happier, her stomach gets all jumbled when you compliment her, and her minds always finds a way to drift back to you no matter what she's doing.

She ends up asking Carmine about it, who immediately gets all giddy and explains to her that she might have a crush. Amarys is surprised, but not against the idea. It makes sense in retrospect—cue bestie Carmine giving her pointers and ideas to try and confess to you.

Unfortunately it's all a bit too convoluted or cheesy for the Steel-Type user's liking, so she ends up doing it her own way.

One day after club activities are over, she asks if you can stay a bit longer to talk. “After much deliberation, it would seem that I have caught romantic feelings for you. I propose a casual outing so we can discuss these in further detail. Do you agree?”

It doesn't take long for you two to start going out.

Amarys shows affection through small gestures that may not seem like a lot to others, but you know they're huge steps for her. Sharing her food when you're hungry, giving you advice on how to raise your Pokémon properly, helping you study subjects you aren't that good at—the list goes on.

PDA isn't her strong suit at all. Physical affection in general isn't something she's used to, and she's forever grateful that you don't push her to do things out of her comfort zone. She tries though, and will do things like brush her hand against yours or even give you a hug whenever she's feeling bold.

To an outsider you're both an unconventional couple, but manage to make it work with trust and constant communication. Give her some time and she'll warm up to you.

Lacey 🧚‍♀️

A sweet cutie who doesn't really change her attitude towards you even after you start dating, since she's always loved having you around. The two of you also confess at the same time, which leaves you as a pair of giggling messes at the irony of it.

Is your number one cheerleader when it comes to school academics. You may not be an official Blueberry student, but that doesn't mean you should be slacking in your classes! If you don't understand the material, don't you worry, she's already prepared a slideshow presentation going over it point by point. Will also reward you with kisses if you pay attention!

Lacey isn't huge on PDA either since she thinks it's unnecessary, but when it's just the two of you, she will never let go. You have successfully replaced Granbull as her favorite pillow of choice, since whenever you two have time off and she's tired, you'll probably take a snooze under a tree in the Coastal Biome.

When you get to meet her father, she's actually a bit nervous since she's never thought of dating before finishing school, but you try and be brave and reassure her that you'll try your best to give a good impression. He thinks you're alright, but gives you the good old father talk to make sure you won't hurt his little girl.

Will find ways to dot your Legendary lizard ride with gifts and affection since she thinks he's just too darn stinking cute, but don't worry, she still thinks you're the cutest!

Since Lacey's constantly worrying about things getting done around the League Club, it's your duty as her partner to get her to relax from time to time. You'll do your best by offering to share responsibilities and reminding her that breaks are very much needed.

“Sweetie it's nighttime, you can finish in the morning. I'm tired and need cuddleeeess.”

“Just one more page and I'll be done—”

“Please Ms. Lacey! I need your cuteness to have a good night's sleep!”

“F-Fine, I'm coming! Flattering me to get what you want is just not right, ya know?”

Truly an iconic duo.

Drayton 🐉

Let's get one thing straight: this man doesn't confess—heck, he doesn't even ask you out! One day he just has his arms around you and plants a kiss on your cheek claiming that he'll follow your every command, all with a cheeky grin on his face. You're more than welcome to punch him for it and he'll still come crawling back.

Like most things in his life, Drayton takes your relationship slow and steady, not really wanting to push your boundaries (unless he wants to tease you) and having no rush to progress things. He's just a chill guy who wants to claim you before anyone else does.

Don't be mistaken though, this doesn't mean he doesn't care. You'd be surprised how much he looks out for you, almost borderline overprotective in some cases. After everything that happened with Terapagos in Area Zero, he's constantly making sure you have strong Pokémon, supplies, and good company to survive the crazy adventures you get mixed up in.

You guys' ideal date is spending time together in the dorms after school hours, kicking back and relaxing with a movie or just talking about stuff that happened during the day. He's surprisingly a very good listener.

It's from these laid back conversations that he gets ideas for random gifts to get you. Did you need a new pair of gloves cause the old ones ripped? Some are waiting in the club room. You're running low on potions? A box full of them appears on your doorstep. Want to visit your friends in Paldea but can't find the time? Turns out Drayton took over your assignments for the day so you're free to go!

You're also the only person he'll allow himself to be tutored by. Will literally not listen to anyone unless it's you. Which is why you try to make sure the material is easy for him to digest + it's not boring typical schoolwork, but something he'll actually enjoy.

“Okay! Today we're going over math! Let's have a battle in the Polar Biome so you can see how probability applies in critical hits and such.”

“Aww, my honey is catering to my needs? Aren't you the sweetest thing?”

“No kisses until we're done, Drayton.”

“Alright, aye aye boss!”

He's an idiot, but he's your idiot.

Kieran 🍎

This boy has had a crush on you ever since you first met in Kitakami, but never had the courage to say anything since he was so shy. Now however, he doesn't say anything because he feels like he doesn't have the right to.

After everything he's put you through—from accusing you of stealing Ogerpon, to fighting you in an all out battle, to straight up putting you and everyone else in danger just because he wanted a chance at getting a Legendary Pokémon—Kieran doesn't think he deserves to be your friend, let alone your partner.

Carmine is there as his wingwoman though, cheering him on and telling him how much you appreciate him and clearly return his feelings.

And so, mustering as much courage as he can, he asks if you'll trade Pokémon with him. When you agree, he brings out an Applin, which immediately leaves you blushing but also spreads a huge smile on your face. The two of you officially start dating.

Kieran does is absolute best to try and be the boyfriend you deserve, even though it's his first relationship and he has no idea what he's doing half the time. The members of the League Club are surprised at first, but ultimately support you guys all the way!

You spend time together sharing battle strategies and having your Pokémon playing to try and get along. Turns out Ogerpon and Hydrapple become fast friends by the end of a particular play date, much to your delight.

He's not good at PDA, like, at all. He's still that shy and timid kid from Kitakami underneath it all, so he struggles with initiating affection even when it's just the two of you. You're the one who has to start the hugs and kisses, leaving him like a puddle of goo under your grasp.

Nightmares still plague him occasionally, mostly revolving the journey to Area Zero and how it all could've turned out for the worst if by some chance Terapagos decided to attack someone else. Maybe even you. If you're with him when they happen, you'll hold him tight and whisper sweet nothings into his ear until he calms down, or if he calls you to make sure you're okay, you'll stay on the phone with him until he falls asleep again.

“I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...”

“It's okay Kieran. We're both okay, and that's all that matters.”

You two are the power couple that Blueberry Academy never expected, but deep down, you're just a pair of dorks who fawn over each other on a daily basis.

[sweet-hearts-and-destiny-knots]

Scarlet and Violet really are proving my point that Pokémon can be an otome game too.

A Dragon’s Heart | Drayton x Reader

“Awe, come on~ just one date!” Drayton innocently pleaded, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. His eyes staring down at you whilst you scribbled down notes from your previous shiny hunt. 

You shook your head with a cheeky smile on your face, as you continued to scribble, “And my response will remain the same Drayton, a cafeteria chat is not a date! Maybe I'll say yes when you think of something creative, hm?”

“I’m creative! The cafeteria is just easy, it's not too noisy since everyone eats out in the terrarium! Plus free food!” He joked, attempting to make it sound appealing, even though he knows it's not good. Unfortunately, his brain can’t think of anything good enough, at least for him. Everything he’s thought of, he doesn’t think is good enough for you. And he’s thought of a lot. “I can help you out with your shiny notes, you know~ maybe even join you on a hunt!”

“Drayton, you don’t know the first thing about shiny hunting, let alone actually joining me on one.” You sighed jokingly, looking up at him as you closed your notebook, “If I remember correctly, didn’t you fail a shiny Pokémon?”

His face turned slightly red, embarrassment washing over him for a moment as he grumbled to himself, “Hey I thought the Axew was sick… It’s not my fault I didn't know the Axew was going to run from me!”

“You threw a berry at its head!” You exclaimed, lightly chuckling when you saw his embarrassed face. “And you call yourself the Dragon expert” 

His embarrassment turned into laughter as he thought about how stupid that was, the pair of you laughing together with bright smiles on your faces.

Your laughter didn’t go unnoticed however, from across the room, Kieran's eyes glared into Drayton. The sound of you laughing along with him only fuels Kieran's desire to be the best. But the jealousy was too strong for him to focus with the two of you laughing. “If you two are finished chirping like Starly’s over there, Drayton, you have a battle in five minutes. I suggest you get going.”

“Relax Kieran, I got plenty of time bud! Besides, it's unlikely they will be on time, it takes a while to prepare for a battle against one of us. So my opponent can take as long as he needs to!” Drayton argued with a hint of playfulness in his voice as Kieran gritted his teeth. A small smile crept on your face when you heard Drayton’s response, that was something you always admired about him. His patients was contagious, never rushing anyone into anything, always trying to make someone smile. Sure he has his moments of cockiness but that just adds to his character, every Dragon has a bite after all.

“Spoken like a true Elite, Drayton!” You chimed, standing up from the sofa. Drayton’s face turned a light pink, his heart lightly thumping. Surprised at himself that something so simple made him blush. His dragon heart only making more room for you.

Kieran's heart pounded in rage at your words, annoyed over the fact you were saying those words to Colgate and not him. Eventually, he puts on his no fudges given face and turns towards you both fully. “If you want to remain as the top Elite four members, Drayton, I'd get to your battle. I still have the power to remove you from this club.”

“Alright Alright! I’m going!” Drayton sighs, raising his hands in defeat. Kieran shook his head displeased as Drayton stretched his arms up, a sigh leaving his mouth before turning back to you. “So about that date… How about instead, as a warm-up, you come watch my battle as my special guest? That way, it’s not our official first date and I still get to spend time with you.”

You raise an eyebrow at him, trying to see where he’s going with this and what extra little plan he has going on inside that head of his. Until he raises a hand up for you to take, a genuine smile on his face as he patiently waits for your decision. With a bright smile, you take his hand, “I think that is a fair deal.”

“Have fun moping, Kieran!” Drayton yells as he gently pulls you along with him towards the door. Kieran had steam coming off his body as he watched the pair of you leave, and not just from Drayton’s response. A smirk appeared on Drayton’s face when he saw the jealousy in Kieran’s eyes. 

Soon his focus returned to the matter at hand, and he smiled at you, pushing and holding the door open for you as he guided you through it, “After you sweetheart~”

[kekstala]

Drayton Toothpaste? Nah - how about we got some other stuff as well~

For the record, this takes place in the S&SD universe at least in my head

So have a dose of romantic comedy and Drayton shenanigans 👍

Enjoy~
