I made a tribute dedicated to Sudomemo's 10th year anniversary! I started making flipnotes in the Hatena days but no doubt Sudomemo served as a stage in my life online that I will never forget, it made me appreciate animation more than ever thanks to the wonderful community and friendships I made along the way. Thank you so much for the memories, Sudomemo.
Song is "Don't Ever Forget/I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

It's been a long time coming but I'm happy to finally present Don't Ever Forget (I Don't Want To Say Goodbye) WITH LYRICS, featuring Drazorleaf.
Our collab of this song perfectly encapsulates our talents together at last. Drazor helped with orchestration and mixing. I arranged, wrote, and performed the song. I'm incredibly happy with the result.
This song also marks the end of The Summer of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon for this year. While there will be more Mystery Dungeon songs throughout the year and the next, I'll finally take a dig at other series and games such as Mario and Xenoblade.
Thank you for your incredible support and I can't wait for whatever comes next!

okay so I knoww that the sugar baby talk won the poll, but I'm dying to hear about Emmet's second date. can you please please please post about it anyway, even if its super short? 🙏 I want to smooch him in the ferris wheel
Don't we all, Anon?
This is a little short, and very quickly written, but I hope it satisfies.
Second Chances
Pairings: Sugar Daddy!Emmet x Reader (GN)
Warnings: None, just fluff 🤍
~~~
When you tell him on the way to the park that you're a little afraid of riding roller coasters, he offers to let you hold his hand through it. It nearly envelops yours. It's big and warm and comforting - slightly calloused from the hard work of Pokemon care and battling. You find you're not so scared while holding his hand. You spend the rest of the evening holding it and he definitely doesn't complain. He reaches for you about as often as you reach for him.
He lets you play as many of those rigged carnival games as you want too! Emmet's been to the park many times, so by this point he knows which games are rigged and which you have the best chance of winning. He also has a competitive streak, so you'll often end up at two-player games. Even if he does win, he'll still let you pick out and keep the prize.
"That big Joltik plush, please!"
"Verrrry cute. You'll have to share custody with me though."
After games, you both share some faire food together, picking out funnel cakes or fried cookies or whatever else terribly unhealthy but absurdly delicious you want. You'll get powdered sugar all over your shirt, and he'll laugh and say you should wear white more often.
At the end of the day, you end up in the Ferris wheel together while the fireworks go off.
This evening has been so nice. All the anxieties building over the course of the afternoon have melted away with the fun that you've had together. In the back of your mind, you know this is steering dangerously close to a real, actual date - so different from the parties you've attended as their fake partner. No formalities, no performing, no worrying if this night will be "good enough" to keep you around for next time. Tonight, it's just you and Emmet.
He's sitting next to you in the compartment, lit by the colorful flashes of fireworks all around you. His hat is off and he's smiling out at the lights of the city. He always smiles, but this is different. When he turns to look at you, there's a true warmth to his expression you've rarely ever seen. He looks beautiful.
You have a terrible urge to reach up and kiss him, which will totally make you freak out once you get home. But that's a problem for future you. Right now, you want to enjoy this moment without thinking about what it could mean. You cuddle under his arm and watch the show together, holding hands the whole time.
~~~
It's a little embarrassing for Emmet to walk you back to your dingy apartment. Even if he isn't coming inside, you're sure it's a long way off from what he's used to. The building is a bit run down and the grounds aren't clean or well kept. You try to say that he can just send you off in a taxi ("Noooope! The subway is much more efficient. I should know."), but he wants to make sure you get there safely, so he ends up escorting you.
It's sweet, in a chivalrous, old fashioned sort of way. You feel the urge to kiss him rise up in you once more, but before you dare to, you duck through the door with a goodbye and the promise of seeing him again soon.
Now that Emmet knows where you live, he finds himself a little concerned about it. You're not living on the dangerous side of town, but you're not exactly living "well" either. Your apartment is obviously small, even from the outside, and things don't seem well-maintained. If it's like that from the outside, he's deeply concerned about what's hiding on the inside. He wants to barge in and inspect things for himself (you wouldn't mind, right? Just pretend he's not even there!), but Ingo calling on his x-transceiver stops him.
Going in will have to wait. He'll discuss what he's learned tonight with Ingo. Besides, the twins are overdue to have a verrrrry important discussion with you anyway.
What's one more item on the agenda?

Trainer Blue - Yandere Alphabet
Of course I'm writing about Blue first. Not only is he in my username, but I blame him for my attraction to bully type characters. It would be major disrespect if he wasn't the first one to be featured.
Yandere Alphabet credit - @mo0nfairy
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙰 — 𝙰𝙳𝚅𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚄𝚁𝙴
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆?
You're gonna be teased 24/7 by this guy. It always starts out light-hearted, calling you embarrassing nicknames as he says flirty things, yet he acts like you're the one hitting on him. ("Listen Cutiefly, I caught you checking me out when you thought I wasn't looking. You're obsessed with me, just admit it already!") And he never leaves your side without a proper goodbye. He has to kiss you on the cheek and say "Smell ya later!" ...What, it's classic! Of course he has to say it!
That's how it starts out, at least. He can be careless about your feelings and sometimes his teasing goes over the edge. He makes jokes out of your expense and verbally shoves you around, talking about you without much thought put into the words. If you ever complain about it, his response will be along the lines of "Don't be such a baby! I was just joking. Get over it!"
I hope you're not the sensitive type. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙱 — 𝙱𝙸𝙽𝙾𝙲𝚄𝙻𝙰𝚁𝚂
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁?
Blue does occasionally stalk you. It depends on the event. It's not worth following you on a quick trip to the Pokemon Center- Just come home quickly and don't talk to any weirdos! This is assuming you're already in a relationship, though. If you're not together at the moment and he doesn't have anything better to do, he may trail behind to bother you anyway. 
That's basically what his stalking is. Not the stereotypical hiding behind bushes and avoiding being seen, nah, that's plain boring. He likes to follow you and pop in when you least expect it. Whether it's for a sudden Pokemon battle or to check in on what you're doing. He still gets to bother you that way, and it'll help remind others that you're taken. Even if you haven't found out yourself yet.
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙲 — 𝙲𝙾𝙻𝙾𝚁
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁?
While I might call him by his western name, the color green would symbolize his devotion best. It's the color of growth and success, which is what he's always striving towards. Getting to call himself your lover is the biggest goal in his mind nowadays, so he sees you as a trophy to compete over. You're like a new gym badge he can brag about, as long as you're hanging off his arm and keeping your eyes entirely on him.
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙳 — 𝙳𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙼
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Since he's constantly fighting to be your number one, he would like a life where you're equally obsessed with each other. Where you'll tell him everyday that you're his. You wouldn't run away even if you wanted to, because he's the greatest person in the world. You can't bare to even look at another person, because they'll never stand up to him.
Not only would that boost his ego, it would also make you more compliant. He yearns for a reality where you listen to everything he says and go along with whatever he requests, no matter how unreasonable it may be. To him, this would be the ultimate way to winning. He would never have to second guess himself again. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙴 — 𝙴𝙲𝙻𝙸𝙿𝚂𝙴
𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀?
Blue is too confident not to approach you. He might sneak around sometimes, but generally he makes himself known. The problem is that, when you're first getting to know each other, he hasn't a clue what he's doing. His youth was spent on Pokemon battling rather than finding romantic interests. Fighting to be the best is what he's most familar with, but unfortunately, he took that too seriously when it came to you. I'll talk more about it later...
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙵 — 𝙵𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝚄𝚁𝙴
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?
All you have to do is pick someone else over him. This would make him feel like all his hard work (of being an asshole) has gone down the drain. Did he not do well enough? What did he mess up on?! Jeez, you and your unreasonably high standards of wanting to be treated properly!
To pour salt in the wound, pick Red over him. Their rivalry has died down over the years, but this would revive it with a vengeance. To give the biggest middle finger in the world, just completely block him out of your life. Ignore everything he does, every attempt to steal your attention back. He'll lose it. 
If making you obsessed with him was the ultimate way of winning, this is the ultimate way of losing. It'll successfully hurt him. But don't think this won't backfire soon. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙶 — 𝙶𝙴𝙽𝙴𝚂𝙸𝚂
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?
Insanely frustrating. It can often be difficult to tell whether he's flirting or bullying. Though when the bullying gets especially hurtful, he somehow manages to get upset you try to distance yourself. He refuses to let you leave and will utilize blackmail/threats if he must. Would even forge fake evidence against you if needed. 
"You're going home? Hah, don't make me laugh! You're not going home unless you wanna get banned from battling for life. You've been cheating all this time." He would corner you into the wall, leaning over your figure. He would grin triumphantly. "As far as everyone else will know, anyways."
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙷 — 𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿��𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲?
Because Blue likes to travel to other regions from time to time, he frequently attempts to make you join him. He'll persuade you either through boasting about where he's going and how fun traveling is, or straight up forcing you if he feels like it. 
But on the odd chance that you somehow convinced him to leave you behind, he'll leave some of his Pokemon with you. He tells you it's because he needs someone to take care of them. In reality, they're his little spies. They're well behaved until you get too friendly with others or seem like you're planning an escape attempt. That is not a coincindence...
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙸 — 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙰𝚃𝚄𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽
𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
His lack of romantic experience caused him to take a long time before he recognized his feelings. For the longest time, he simply considered you a really-good-friend(TM), in spite of his unhealthy fixation. That didn't change until you began hanging around other people. That's when the jealousy kicked in.
"Hey, didn't you realize I was free to hang out today? I told you I was! So why are you hanging out with this loser when you could be with me instead?!"
As much of a sin as envy is, it did open his eyes to the truth. He couldn't stand it when you were with others... Because he loved you. He's had his eyes on the prize ever since. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙹 — 𝙹𝙰𝙲𝙺-𝙸𝙽-𝚃𝙷𝙴-𝙱𝙾𝚇
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
He wouldn't kidnap you. Well, not in the traditional sense. If you don't agree to moving in with him the moment he asks (which is definitely too soon, maybe a couple months after officially asking you out) he'll get forceful.  He uses a combination of verbal abuse and the aforementioned blackmail to ensure you won't feel strong enough to live on your own. He'll manipulate you into feeling weak, insecure and completely dependent on him.
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙺 — 𝙺𝙽𝙾𝙲𝙺𝙾𝚄𝚃
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲?
Like I said, he doesn't take it well when he sees others vying for your attention. However, some people are understandable, such as family members or coworkers. He realizes you can't avoid those people, so he'll just ignore them outside a few hurtful comments here and there. 
But when it comes to past love interests, friends, even random people on the street... He sees any advances as a challenge. And he'll challenge them right back. If they're a trainer, he'll compete in terms of battles/pokedex entries. If they're not, he'll compete in terms of pleasing you and capturing your attention. 
And if they ever happen to beat him in these categories? You may never see them again. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙻 — 𝙻𝙴𝙼𝙾𝙽
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀? 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲?
Blue's behavior towards you is either worse or better depending on your relationship. Pushing him away? He acts like a prick. Baby, what are you thinking? You can't be without him! Just give up and do as he says, he'll take care of you. Acting obedient? He's only teasing you now. There's no reason to wound your self esteem anymore, since you already belong to him. 
Concerning others, he acts like he typically does. The only difference is that his arrogance has somehow gotten worse. He loves bragging about how good your relationship is (even though it isn't) and gloats about how he's the only one you'll settle for (even though he's forcing you to stay with him).
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙼 — 𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲?
Ambitious. He has a desire to be the best at everything in life and you make him feel fully accomplished when you're together. He could lose a hundred Pokemon battles and yet he'll still be happy as long as you're wrapped around his finger. 
That's all he's ever wanted. That's why he gets so aggravated when you so much as smile at someone else, because he feels as though he needs to prove himself again. That's why he'll do whatever it takes until he knows you're his. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙽 — 𝙽𝚄𝚁𝚃𝚄𝚁𝙴
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
He isn't great at being a nurturing figure, for obvious reasons. But sometimes he'll step up when you need it. Like when you get sick, he buys your medicine and makes sure you get rest. Or if you're ever harrassed by someone (that isn't him) he's gonna defend your name to death. They'll be wishing they didn't pick on you by the end of it. 
Note how I said sometimes, however. He'll only care for you if you're being obedient. Otherwise, he just laughs at you. "Now you want my help? As if!" 
Because this is his way of punishment, his way of proving that you can't live without him. His love seems to be quite conditional. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙾 — 𝙾𝙰𝚂𝙸𝚂
𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Like it or not, you're going to be living with Blue eventually. You'll never be chained down somewhere, but you'll always be under surveillance somehow. You'll always have some kind of threat hanging over your head. There's possibly an electric fence around the property just in case...
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝙿 — 𝙿𝙾𝙻𝙸𝙲𝙴
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?
That fence is one way he does it. It's both for keeping you in and others out. But the fence is a suspicious addition to his home, of course, and people will question him on it. So he lies to the public that he uses it to steer dangerous wild Pokemon away. 
Not everyone will accept that excuse, though. Especially if they've noticed the way he treats you and how you're rarely seen outside. People like this will also have to deal with his blackmail- He uses his power as a professor's grandson/gym leader whenever he must. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚀 — 𝚀𝚄𝙰𝚁𝚃𝙴𝚁
𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?
He's pretty well off thanks to his upbringing and work as a trainer. Flaunting his wealth is another way to make him feel accomplished in life, so naturally he'll combine that with you!
He randomly buys you gifts and talks about it like he's done you the biggest favor ever. On holidays, birthdays and anniversaries he goes all out. He purposely buys expensive items, even if you didn't ask for them, because it's another way of showing off. Anything he can do to make sure you remember him!
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚁 — 𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
It was always in the back of his mind that he would marry you one day. There's no reason not to! You would literally be bound to him by law. It's perfect. And he would try to make the proposal perfect as well. He takes you to your favorite place in Kanto for a date and, for once, acts on his best behavior until he's sure you'll accept. 
Once he's popped the question, he won't let you talk much. He's too busy going on and on about how the honeymoon is already planned, he'll give you any type of wedding you want, etc.
The only type of wedding he wouldn't give you is no wedding. Because you're not seriously rejecting him, are you? Even when he bought the best ring? When he took so much time to set the proposal up? When his old gramps wants to see Blue married and have great grandchildren before he passes? (Professor Oak would say no such thing, but you don't gotta know that)
If you're insistent on saying no, then expect his threats to get a hell of a lot worse. He might even go through with them right that moment, ruining your reputation until he really is the only one who will stand by you. Then you'll have to marry him. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚂 — 𝚂𝙷𝙴𝙻𝚃𝙴𝚁
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Whoever went out of their way to hurt you has a lot of nerve. And idiocy. Blue has made it tremendously clear to the world that you're an item. He's also made it clear that he's not to be messed with. Nobody with a brain would dare lift a finger against you. But he will gladly fight if he must- It's just another challenge for him to overcome!
He could easily drive them off by defeating them in a battle, but he can get a little more sadistic depending on the threat. Such as publicly humiliating them, or digging up dirt on them, or having them arrested for an attempted murder that he framed them for. He'll do it all if only to once again prove that you should never, ever fuck with Blue Oak. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚃 — 𝚃𝙴𝙳𝙳𝚈 𝙱𝙴𝙰𝚁
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
He can be affectionate when he wants to be, but the problem with him is that he doesn't quit being a jerk as he's doing it. He'll use dorky pick-up lines and sweet talk one moment, then make a passive aggressive comment on how weak your Pokemon team is the next.
Besides that, he does use those random gifts as a way of showing affection. If you're ever really mad at him for something, he'll just leave a present outside your door and hope that'll fix things. Plus, he likes to spend lots of quality time together. You'll go out on many dates... Again, whether you like it or not. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚄 — 𝚄𝚃𝙾𝙿𝙸𝙰
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆?
Blue doesn't consider your feelings that much. You really are like a gym badge to him- Something to prove that (he's not bitchless) he can succeed romantically too. That's why he shows you off so much. 
So his mindset is simple. Hey, if you're happy, that's great! But it's not a big deal if you're sad either. Because why get so upset when you're lucky enough to have the greatest Pokemon trainer in your life?
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚅 — 𝚅𝙰𝙻𝙴𝙽𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙴
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
This is what I was talking about a while ago. The worst period in your relationship was before it even began, when he was first crushing on you. He was inexperienced on how to act and he was too stubborn to admit, so he defaulted to what was most comfortable to him. Once again, he failed to consider what would be most comfortable for you. 
His jealousy was its peak during this time. He had to worry more about people stealing you away since you weren't dating yet. That competitive side of his was drastically amplified and the moment he felt someone was getting too close, he harrassed them until they backed off. 
You weren't spared either. He was still adjusting to the fact that he had a crush on someone, so his treatment could get particularly cruel. Laughing at your mistakes and exploiting your insecurities, only to give a half-assed apology later. 
You wouldn't have ever let him call himself your boyfriend if it wasn't for him blackmailing you into the relationship. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚆 — 𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙻𝙾𝚆
𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Luckily, he isn't much of a controlling type and allows you some freedom. Some freedom, not enough. He doesn't stop you from leaving his side unless he has reason to believe you won't come back. So as long as you're sneaky about it, you might have a chance of getting away one day. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚇 — 𝚇𝚈𝙻𝙾𝙿𝙷𝙾𝙽𝙴
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
(I had trouble finding a song that was good from his perspective, so I did one from (Y/N)'s instead)
"You're always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around
You build me up like building blocks just so you can build me down
You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry
If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don't be surprised"
- Alphabet Boy by Melanie Martinez
Blue geniunely doesn't realize how awful he acts towards you sometimes. He's too stubborn to listen to you about it, either. He never feels the need to reign himself in because of this and that leads to a lot of resentment on your part. At the bare minimum, you just want him to treat you like an equal. But he'll continue to look down on you as long as he can get away with it. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚈 — 𝚈𝙾𝚄𝚃𝙷
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
It was just one mountain to climb after another. He's always aiming for the next big thing, because to him, that's the only way you can truly be the best. He continued to do so even after becoming the Viridian City gym leader and you just so happened to come along then. You were a different kind of challenge, not something he could catch in a Pokeball or defeat in a match. And he liked that. So nothing much as changed- you're just his newest goal. 
✧༚︒ ࿐ཾ
𝚉 — 𝚉𝙴𝚁𝙾
𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁?
Blue won't accept it. Not even for a split second. It doesn't matter what exactly he's lost or how important it was to him, it doesn't matter if he's lost you-- Because he is 1000% certain that he can take it back. This is only a minor setback that'll make him stronger. He rejects self pity and immediately works to rebuild his life. 
And once he's better than ever, he's heading straight after you. Your chance of escape will be so much lower this time.

The Windows To My Soul [2]
pairing: OT8 x fem! reader
genre: soulmates, angst, fluff, crack
warnings: Please read the 'Summary' of this series, all are listed there!
word count: ~2.3k
summary: The two aussies chat with you as some distraction, although anxiety seeps through once you reach their hotel, a strange pain blooming in your ribcage.
↳ Masterlist ↳ Next chapter ↳ Previous chapter
All rights reserved. Please do not steal, repost or feed my work into AI. Thank you!
Tumblr media
"So, Eevee, d’ya live around here?" - Chan asked, as if sensing my derailing thoughts and the distraction I desperately needed. "Haha, naur, Iiii actually come from a really small european country. Very far away from here." "Oh? You're not japanese? You spoke it well, I thought… Anyways, I've always wanted to visit more countries there! Which one are you from?"
I looked at their expecting expressions and desperately held my tongue, trying not to say that BTS actually knew the capital of my country, surprisingly.
"Eh, you wouldn't know anyway, don't worry about it." "Ahw, bummer. Then can ya talk in your mother language for a bit?" - Felix asked with puppy eyes, my heart unable to say no as I lightly chuckled. "Alright, but what should I say?" "How about… Imma catch them all!"
I immediately snorted, slightly shaking my head at the pokemon reference. I looked at Chan to see if he minded, but he simply shook his head with crescent-shaped eyes.
"Alright, here goes. Szerezd meg hát mind!"
Yeah, they looked really fucking confused at me, causing me to burst out in laughter.
"I told you you wouldn't know it!" "I-, well, ya were right, I have not heard that language before." "Neither have I, it sounds weird. Chris, now ya say something, c'mon!"
And for the next few minutes they kept giving me phrases and words, just so I could translate them to my native language. Even chat was confused, none of them getting it right. But they tried, language names flying across the poor phone's screen at a fast pace.
They stopped eventually, the boys giving me some space and talking to the chat in korean -i was grateful for that-, later on saying goodbye to STAY as well. I waved along with them, careful not to have my face seen. It was tiring, to constantly keep it in my mind and position myself accordingly, because I was taller than both the boys and they were the ones holding the phone. So I had to tilt my head slightly downwards at all times, well, if I wanted to remain anonymous that is. And I sure fucking wanted to.
"Alright, we're not far from the hotel now."
Ah, so we had walked so much already. I glanced back subtly out of instinct, checking if the other man -probably their bodyguard or a manager- was still there. Sure enough, he was, positioned just right so he was never in the range of their camera. 
Looking back in front of me after walking for a good 15 minutes or more, I was met with a tall building, most probably a hotel, based on the aesthetic and glowing signs.
I took a deeper breath as I looked up at it, noticing a deep, dull pain in my chest. Thinking I probably fell on it or that my body was just doing its usual randomly hurting thing, I ignored it, sadly quite familiar with the art of pushing away slight pain to the back of my mind.
The boys -and it felt weird to think of them like that so casually- stepped in, Chan holding the door open for me as they started chatting in english. A notion that warmed my heart and calmed my fried nerves, even if only slightly.
They involved me in their chatter a few times, but the anxiety of meeting new people -fucking idols at that- started catching up to me, making me retreat back to my shell and become even quieter than usual. I couldn't help it, I was not a socially well-versed person. Maybe that was why I loved Jisung so much. Birds of a feather and all that.
As if sensing my anxiety, they stopped near a door -probably theirs- and turned around, facing me, who just followed them silently, even in and out of the elevator. I zoned out for the ride, body on mindless auto-pilot.
"Hey, it's gonna be okay. They're all friendly and great people, if not too loud. But I'll ask them to take it back a notch today for ya, ‘kay?" - Chan gently said, his words but a quiet whisper. "Yeah, it'll be fine. You're safe here, nobody's gonna do anything to you. Maybe only make ya laugh at bad jokes." -Felix added in with a slight curve of his lips, and I couldn't help but quietly snort at that.
Their smiles both widened in response, expressions turning even more gentle, if that was even somehow possible.
One thing I had caught though was that through the whole thing, Felix's hands were awkwardly moving a bit, hovering in the air sometimes, as if he wanted to grasp onto something, but was unsure about it. Being a STAY, I knew some things about him, like how physically affectionate he was and how it was one of his biggest languages of affection. Slowly putting two and two together, I finally realised he had wanted to touch my hand that wasn't tucked away in my jacket's pocket, unsure if it would grant me comfort or do the exact opposite.
Smiling gently under my scarf, I nodded at them -causing my cap's ears to move, i could see how they glanced at it in amusement-, indicating that I was okay and as ready as I could ever be.
They nodded as well, turning around and going through the door. Glancing back once more, I found no one in the corridor besides us, the bodyguard having left us silently sometime. I furrowed my brows at that, unsure how I hadn’t noticed it happening.
A deep voice calling out to me snapped me back to reality, Felix's head peeking out the doorway to glance at me, worry dancing on his features. I quickly apologised quietly and strode towards him, my legs halting once I reached their doorway.
I felt like an intruder.
It didn't feel right to just go into their hotel room, especially when I knew who they were, without them knowing about it.
I felt guilty, and like a horrible burden.
My unsure hand found Felix's hoodie, as if I was a child grasping onto their parents' clothing. It immediately grabbed his attention, his body now fully standing before me with his attention devoted solely to me.
I didn't deserve it.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. Ya don't have to meet them all now, or at all, we can work around it, if that makes ya feel better." - his deep voice soothed me, hushing my nervous inner child.
I gently shook my head, not wanting to cause them even more problems by having them dance around me.
"I just… I'm not the most social person, sorry. I just don't want to be a bother to you guys, not even more after all you’ve done already." - I whispered out, afraid of voicing my thoughts as I just looked at the ground, the shiny tiles now looking way more interesting than anything else around me.
His hands found mine, gently squeezing it in comfort before he spoke once more.
"Ya really aren't a bother, trust me. And me and the guys can carry the conversation for you, ya don't even have to join it if ya don't wanna."
I looked down into his warm eyes, finding their shine comforting and genuine.
Gosh, he really was sunshine incarnate.
"You remind me of one of my friends, he has social anxiety too. So don't worry, the guys will understand, really." - he smiled at me before he turned around, making me melt at his care.
I could merely nod and let him guide me into the room at last, Chan most probably wondering where we'd been for so long. But no, there was no sign of him, only his voice could be heard from somewhere deeper in the place.
Felix told me where I could put my jacket and lil backpack after I had taken my boots off, his petite form quickly disappearing from my sight.
I just stood there in my full outfit -minus the boots-, blinking at the place where he had been not even a second ago.
How the fuck did he just do that? Was I so out of it, or did he turn into Sonic the hedgehog in front of my very eyes?
Before I could get back on track and actually get my now too warm jacket off -i was starting to sweat at that point, both from the heat and nervousness-, that little, now maskless menace appeared before me with the baby bread in tow.
"Oh my god!" - Jeongin exclaimed once he had laid eyes on me, his eyes roaming my form before settling on the long ears of my Eevee cap. "Right? So cute!"
They started gushing about it in korean, the little gamers. I just watched them for a bit, before getting an idea.
Taking my cap off and carding a hand through my now very messy hair -although the motion never truly tamed it-, I offered the cap up in their direction after shaking it out a bit. They quieted down, asking if they really could take it in a hushed tone, as if they didn't believe me and my actions. Of course I nodded once again, watching as their smiles lit up their whole faces.
They were like little kids, I swear. And I was younger than them, even if not by a lot, but still…
Either way, I had finally torn my eyes away from the two and took my bag, jacket and scarf off as I was turned away from them, facing the closed front door. I quickly crouched down and searched around in my bag, taking out and putting on a regular, blue hospital facemask I had stashed in there.
No way in hell was I comfortable sitting amidst all those pretty people with my face, even though I had makeup on.
Being done, I stood up and turned around, closing my eyes as I ruffled up my long hair and tried to tame it into its usual place. Amidst that, I simply heard a 'Woah', my eyes popping open and drawn towards the slightly slack-faced Felix. I raised an eyebrow at him, not understanding his behaviour.
"Just, uh, that's quite a vibe change ya got there."
Looking down, I realised what he had meant. Because compared to my quite cute Eevee outfit, I now had all black, form hugging clothes on with almost no skin showing. The accessories I had on were either black or silver too, usually with chains or other 'edgy' motifs on them as well.
Yeah, not exactly cute, as one would say.
But compared to my dark looks, I merely sheepishly rubbed at my nape and looked away, slightly shrugging my shoulders. I felt a bit bad for giving a deceiving first impression, if that made sense, because I never really dressed cutesy and girly, no matter what anyone else wanted or told me it looked good on me.
They both snorted at that, muttering something in korean, before Felix gently took my hand and started dragging me away. Our destination was most probably where the others had gathered, based on how their voices got louder and louder with each step. But throughout our walk, Felix's hold was gentle, something I could easily break free from if I felt the need arise. I couldn't help the lil appreciative squeeze of his hand I had sent him for that.
Entering the living room -because that was the most fitting title i could find for it-, my eyes met with the entire cast of Stray Kids -minus the two accompanying me-, all huddled together on the giant, L-shaped couch. Their heads snapped up to me when Felix announced our presence and released my hand, my form turning rigid in response. Chan -with no mask on- was searching for my gaze, smiling at me once I’d met his eyes.
It didn't help as much as it could have.
They spoke about something in korean, probably introducing me, based on the word Eevee I’d heard and how Felix gestured towards me. I deeply bowed at them, my hands clutched together in front of my form nervously as I tried not to think about how much I wanted to just straight up disappear into the surface of the planet.
The aussies rushed to say I didn't need to be so formal, the others probably saying the same in korean as they raised their hands in protest. Some even almost stood up from their seats.
Great fucking going me, I made them uncomfortable on our first meeting, wonderful.
After each member introduced themselves, some with more sentences and some with less, they gestured for me to sit down. But that meant choosing a seat, and I felt uncomfortable doing that. I didn't want to sit too close for both of our sakes, but I also couldn't sit too far, they would think I hated them or something.
Dear god, why was this so hard? Stupid anxiety.
Eventually, I sat down near one end of the couch, while Jeongin and Felix attacked the already sitting members for cuddles. Mostly Felix, Jeongin just wanted to be a menace and fuck around.
I awkwardly sat there, watching them interact as I kept glancing around the room, from the ground to each member. Minho was intently staring at me, probably analysing if I was a threat or not, but nobody really knew what was truly going on inside his head. So I simply glanced away, fighting with my rising nervousness and that pain in my chest.
Gods, it was becoming worse, did I land on a rib or something?

if Ash, Peach & Indigo were starter pokemon fusions (any gen/stage but no repeating type) what would they be?
No repeating types so that knocks away the fact that each one needs to be a fire grass and water starter!
Hmmm, If i wanted to, i would say Peach is a Fire, Indigo is a Grass, and Ash is a Water type starter so we'll go from there.
(for the sake of brevity, i will remove Pikachu and Eevee from the list due to the fact that they are not common starters in my eyes.)
For Peach, i want her starter pokemon to know at least one Electric type move (whether by TM or not) so that knocks out Charizard off the gate.
Now i also want the pokemon to be fast as all get go. So that knocks out any pokemon below 90, means no Emboar(65), Incineroar(60) Skeledirge(66) and Blaziken(80). Now let's look at the balance of Sp and Atk. See if we can get any close to what i want. And the winner for that is Infernape!!
Peach is an Infernape Fusion which now knocks out Fighting from the rink!
Now Indigo isn't as fast, but he's bulky as hell. He can take a hit so we'll focus on Def and sp def. I don't want it to be even and i want to focus on the beauty of the pokemon as well. Indigo's Absol was regal but deadly, so that's a main factor as well.
Out of the rink is Chesnaught for fighting, now for beauty standards of regality and deadly, venasaur, meganium, torterra and rillaboom are out. Beautiful in their own rights but not wjat im looking for!
Like last time, anyone below a 90 in defense and sp def means they are OUT. So Sceptile (65|85), Decidueye (75|100) and Meoscarada(70|70) are out!
Indigo is now a Serperior Fusion! With a Def|SpD at (95|95)!! Serperior is pure grass so that still leaves only fighting out of the rink!
Finally Ash as a Water type.
His is harder because he needs to be pretty even all around. Sturdy, fast and a decently hard hitter. But we'll focus on Attack for him!
Because Fighting is out, Quaquaval immediately is kicked. Goodbye my flamboyant bird, i will miss you :')
Anyone under 90 ATK is out. Which means, Blastoise (83), Empoleon (86), Primarina (74) and Inteleon (85) are OUT.
Now to look at the others, i want their Attack to be above their Sp Atk, and Sp atk above 90. That being said, Greninja (95|103) and Samurott (100|108) are both OUT. And Feraligator (105|79) and Swampert (110|85) are out due to below 90 stat!
And the Winner is Hisuian Samurott!!!
I actually really like that for them XD
Peach - Infernape
Indigo - Surperior
Ash - H. Samurott

Goodbyes Turn To Forgiveness ~ Leon
Author's Note: Since my other account @cheekyredwillow got deleted. I am adding some of my favorite fanfictions to this account and revamping this one with new ones. I hope to make an actual list of fandoms I am still a fan of! NO requests for the time being.
Warnings: Angst to comfort, happy ending
~~~
You and Leon have been dating for a year now. It was your birthday today and you would not have gotten this far without your mother gifting you Hattrem now Hatterene. Leon had mentioned taking you out to a fancy dinner in Wyndon. You hoped he would remember because he forgets things a lot. While you wouldn't fault him for that, he's never forgotten important dates.
You had arrived in Wyndon with your Hatterene and got a hotel room for the weekend. You walked around Wyndon for a while until it was three hours before your dinner. You wore Leon's favorite red fancy outfit with Hatterene's pokeball attached to your hip.
You were actually about 10 minutes late but the restaurant still had the reservation. You saw two bottles of white wine on the table but Leon was also not there. Now you were used to Leon not showing up so you decided to wait and pop the wine open.
The waiters and waitresses continued to check on you while you waited for Leon. You were suppose to meet up at 7 PM but it was going on 11 PM and the restaurant needed to close. They gave you a complimentary plate of food with the wine after you paid for sitting there for four hours.
It hurt. It hurt extremely bad. You would have thought Leon was better than this. So you went back to your hotel room and tried to call Leon. He didn't pick up so you left a message and decided to go to your hometown Ballonlea in the morning.
Leon was busy training with Raihan and hanging out with him to hear his Rotom phone go off. It wasn't till Leon and Raihan woke up the next day that Raihan asked about you.
"How's your darling Y/n? I bet she's keeping you strong. You still pack a punch in battles." Raihan teased as Leon froze. "Leon, what's wrong?"
"Yesterday was her birthday! I promised not to forget important dates!" Leon exclaimed.
"Try calling her?" Raihan suggested as Leon grabbed his phone and saw a voicemail.
"She called last night." Leon said before clicking the voicemail.
Leon, I can't do this anymore. I understand you are the champion of Galar and you are busy. But you don't leave your girlfriend at a fancy restaurant for four hours and the wait staff have to give you a complimentary meal to feel sorry for. It was my birthday Leon. I was hoping we could spend this but I guess not. I'm brea-breaking up with you. You deserve someone who is eas-easier to be around. Bye.
Leon dropped the phone hearing your calm voice say these words until your voice began to break at the end. You were hurt by what he did and you thought he needed someone who is easier to be around. Leon's heart was torn apart thinking about you in a hotel room and crying your eyes out. He hurt you.
"Leon?" Raihan asked as Leon dropped to his knees.
"I hurt her Raihan. I hurt her." Leon said as Raihan sighed.
"Do you know where she went?" Raihan asked. "Maybe back home?"
"That's it! I'll go to Ballonlea and apologize!" Leon exclaimed before calling Charizard to fly to Ballonlea.
As Leon arrived at your house, your Hatterene attacked him and Charizard with a psychic and moonblast. He and Charizard ducked for cover until they saw Mrs. Opal come out.
"Mrs. Opal, is Y/n in?" Leon asked as Hatterene glared at Leon and went back in the house.
"She is but she is hurt my dear. She doesn't want to see anyone." Opal sighed. "What is the matter with her? She's always so kind and excited about fairy and psychic pokemon. Now she is gloomy and sad."
"I hurt her Mrs. Opal. I did a terrible thing of forgetting important dates and she does not want to date me anymore." Leon explained and a few tears cascaded down his face.
"Leon I know you know better. I hope you are here to help her." Opal said before swatting him with her purse. "That's for hurting dear Y/n."
Leon rubbed the arm where Opal swatted and sat down with Charizard outside your doorstep. He waited for a couple of hours to see if you would come down but you didn't. He knew he had to get your forgiveness but wasn't sure how to do it. It was going to be harder than a simple give a pokemon to you.
Raihan ended up pushing Leon for his plan. He wasn't too sure if Hatterene would attack him but he went out of his way to get you a shiny Slurpuff. Leon also set up an entire meal near the entrance of the Ballonlea gym. Leon also asked help from Opal to use fairy pokemon to make a romantic atmosphere with music.
You had been in bed for about a week and Opal asked for you to meet her and Bede at the gym with Hatterene. She wanted you to get out of the house. As you put on your normal outfit and freshened up, you and Hatterene made your way to the gym.
As you got in the vicinity of the gym, you smelled sweet baked goods, blooming flowers, and your favorite meal. You were quite surprised to see a dinner set outside the gym. But you noticed Leon and Opal walked out of the gym and Leon was warning his gym uniform.
"You made it dearest!" Opal said as Leon was shyly smiling at you. You began to turn back to your house when a Shiny Slurpuff stopped you.
"Please don't go Y/n." Leon said softly as you sighed.
"We're through Leon. Don't you understand?" You sighed as Hatterene slouched forward towards the Shiny Slurpuff.
"Allow me to apologize and you can decide from there if you do not want us to be together." Leon said as you still didn't turn around but also didn't move.
"Go on." You said as Leon walked forward. You could feel his presence near you and heard the gym doors open as if Opal left.
"Y/n, I made a promise when we got in a relationship to not forget the important dates. I promised to always be there and treat you well. I have failed at that. I know that I have hurt you. Not a single apology can mend the hurt but it will allow me to confess a few things. I love you too much to let you walk away from me without an explanation. I cannot function without you. And lastly, while I am a forgetful person who gets lost, I am not a man who will leave you alone again and make you feel less than you deserve." Leon said as you sniffled. "Y/n?"
"I'm sorry. You brought some emotions out of me." You sniffled as Leon touched your shoulders.
"I see that also your new Slurpuff is warming up well." Leon sighed.
"He's mine?!" You exclaimed.
"You mentioned on our first date that you always wanted a shiny Slurpuff so I got you one." Leon said as you felt your heartbeat faster. He remembered that.
"Leon, you do have a lot of making up to do but I'd love to move forward." You said as you turned to face his solemn face. You touched his cheek and kissed it.
"I would love to make it up to you starting with this dinner." Leon said as you took his hand and went to have dinner with him.
After that, Leon stayed in Ballonlea for a few days before asking you to come back with him to Wyndon so he could continue to treat you right while you were by his side.

Hero & Partner Week - Day 2 - Evolution
Writing (Diary Entry)
A dark, everglowing night. One that I've grown so accustomed to that it stands to reason that it remains the same ever since you left me Sprout. How long has it been? Days? Weeks? ...I've lost count of it all at this point.
Not that... it makes much difference anyway in the grand scheme of this world. I mean, who would even remember it anymore anyway? Me? The sole member of the Kipsaurs left? The one who keeps you in my mind so much that ever since you disappeared, I've felt hollow and well... lost? I don't know what's real and what's not anymore at this rate.
...
So um... I guess I'll write about what's it been like since you left. Um... well, as things stand, here in the Expedition Society - and in Lively Town in general - life has been progressing slowly. For what it's worth, I guess the people in town still look at me as someone helpful. I am a person who does look out for Pokemon in need! But... who's to say I'm the one who needs help? Heh, the hero of the world, the human who came from another era to save this one in the present and now it's all just... gone. And here I am. Now the one who needs saving after all this time. I just... don't really know what I'm missing from myself. Yet as time ticks away, does it make much difference anymore? I don't even know.
...
There's my reflection in the window. Staring back at me is the one person I don't want to see, and it's a Mudkip with a gnawed scar scraped over his right eye. With that stare, I remember a dream coming back to me. You were there. In it, I feel a fleeting feeling come and go, mostly from a reminiscence of when I tried to fight for the world's safety and then... there was a point where I snapped and I ran. I ran away so so fast that it was back in Serene Village and you raced to find me in the spot we would meet up in so much.
The place I said goodbye to you.
The place I wore this scarf as a way of remembering you.
The place where we formed our team, we laughed, we made a promise to each other and the place we cried together.
The place of the beginning and the end. Up there... on the hill with the big tree and with it, the most beautiful view of the valley I've ever seen in my life.
For however long it’s been, I’ve had a lot times together with you in my mind Sprout. A lot of memories. But those memories… slowly begin to fade away as I run away from who I am. Who I’ve become inside.
And you were there in my dream… to tell me to keep moving. You looked at me, those caring eyes of yours, and you stayed behind. To protect me from the demons that were created from my nightmares.
But why? To why were you even here, just looking at me like that? Did I even manage to do something that would warrant any form of recognition? Why would… or rather why would… you even want to help me?
And so on the cusp between dream and reality, the only person keeping me alive in this world was and still is you. Because you gave me no words, only a smile before you faded away and then my scarf began to glow.
My harmony scarf made me evolve, to continue fighting in that dream I had. My scar reminding me of you, when I first met you in this world… and still I fight even now. Whether it’s a dream, whether it’s reality, I don’t even know anymore. Whether I’m a Mudkip, or a Swampert, or whatever form I take now, I guess I still persist in this world, because I’m still me.
And it was only you who ever had complete and utter faith in me that I was only able to ever move forward. You - the outcast of Serene Village - took in the real outcast who came one day without warning.
Me.
And… and you promised me, from that day on, no matter how far apart we were, no matter how hopeless it would seem, you would always be my friend. And now, with you gone…
Can I even keep that promise?
I… I don’t even know anymore. What do I even do? Can you tell me Sprout? As… this scarf means I’m the only one left in the world with the ability to evolve near the Tree of Life, I… I don’t know if I still have some purpose left to fulfill.
Why? Why did you accept Dark Matter? Why did you stop me from destroying it?
To prevent it from coming back?
If so… then… am I the reason it’ll come back anyway? That I have so little faith in myself that I can’t do anything right anymore? I… I don’t know. I just don’t know.
You cared. The others seemingly care.
But do I ever feel properly cared? I guess, if it means anything, just for you… maybe I’ll evolve. Evolve myself… by ridding myself of this guilt of mine. Because my only hope, one way or another and even if it means running away from the Expedition Society…
I just want to see you again. My best friend. My one and only friend.
I miss you Sprout.
I miss you so much.
And… I’ll go anywhere, to the ends of this Pokemon world, just to see you again.
I’m uh… talking to Xerneas right now and am beginning to also remember my past. About who I was, how I came to be in this world and meeting you… so, so many years in the past before you reincarnated as the Mew of today. My lovable, kind, adventurous and gleaming partner.
How I’m beginning to remember I don’t even know. Mawile said it had something to do with some sort of ancient tablet she found when excavating the site on Showdown Mountain, and that on it was my name. But… just what is my connection still to the past?
And even so… is that even theoretically possible though? You told me I willed myself to this world so I could save it, but I sacrificed my memories so we wouldn’t repeat the mistakes of the future. But now… now I’m having an identity crisis, as the human who was supposed to forget is now the human beginning to remember.
It hurts. It hurts so much. Even now, I think I realise the reason as to why I even forgot was so I couldn’t bear the pain of seeing you leave again. I did it because I cried so much on the hill that sunset came and went and Carracosta began looking for me until he found me still just lying there in a worried mess.
Nothing’s changed though… I’m just… I’m just repeating the same mistakes again over and over. Wherever I go, bad luck follows, or at least that’s how it feels. And no matter what, I just can’t shake the feeling I’m still the reason why you left. Why wasn’t it me who went with you that day?
Am I still fated by this last thing I have of you that I’m never taking off again because without it, I feel so insecure I’m never going to get it back?
I need to… no, I have to keep it. It’s just so important that I can’t evolve without it anymore.
Can’t evolve as you’re my biggest strength in all this. You were my biggest helper. And you’ll always be my light that shined when we were stuck in the Voidlands.
It’s getting late now. I’ve written enough now that I guess my thoughts have been fired out onto this little diary of mine. I saw you writing one when I couldn’t sleep one night and this habit of yours kinda just… well, stuck.
I hope you’re still okay, somewhere Sprout, whenever and wherever you are.
Goodnight bud. I… I hope you still care about me, just as how I still care about you.
I’ll always remember you.
-Cormac

You're reading this from a blog that was mainly Pokemon-based for a long time, and technically still is.
Meaning you're probably a Pokemon fan.
That means you like Pokemon.
If you like Pokemon, you probably like the spinoffs as well.
If you like Pokemon Spinoffs, I'm assuming you've heard of or played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
From that, I can assume that you've played Explorers of Sky.
Or, maybe none of this applies to you, and you know me from something else.
Either way, this post is for you.
Feeling down?
Need some good music?
Need a good Story?
Don't Ever Forget, (I don't want to say goodbye),
by the Pokemon Company for Explorers of Sky, Time, and Darkness
It's a masterpiece.
I listen to it virtually daily.
and for good reason.
Or, let's say you aren't a Pokemon Fan.
Simple solution. Let's name a song you could enjoy.
And for that.
My Castle Town,
by Toby Fox for Deltarune: Chapter 2.
The Unfinished version is more upbeat if you don't like sad songs.
It's probably similar to something that you used to know.
@willdoesstuff72 that was all for the inside joke LMAO

Alright, I will be honest:
I don't like Black&White saga cause it feels like flopoed retcon/reboot of pokeanime. Like, in the beginning it cut ties to previous sagas and regions. Like, after whole THE BUILD UP in Sinnoh, it felt like Ash got robbed. Also doesn't help that in beginning they isolated Unova pokemon from previous generations. And the thing is, is that 5 gen pokemon design already stylistically different from previous ones: more round, simplified.
Also, it didn't help that relationship with rivals are less close and tense than in Diamond&Pearl. Like, all other characters beside main trio feels shallow and caricatures. In Sinnoh, both Ash and Dawn learned something from their rivals, Paul and Zoe were REALLY IMPACTFUL to them. But when we compare Iris and Dragon huntress (yes, I don't even remember her name)... That's basic. Like, Iris's rival surved as plot tool few times at best.
But second part of saga is better (*cough - cough * cause Cynthia and Dawn came back *cough- cough*) : old pokemon are back, we see mythical pokemon in action. Also, I enjoyed Decolora arc!
Good points of BW:
I like Cylan and Iris. For Iris in particular... She feels like Misty's other version, but in a good way. I also like her story arcs with her team, like damn, homegirl got her own Suicide squad in pokeworld 😂.
Also, there's Team R... One one hand, it's was hard for me to see them drop comedy tone. On another hand, they demonstrated us how much dangerous they can be! Like, they got their business! Our trio was more menacing than whole Team Plazma, honestly 😅.
All in all, my main issue is that Black and White drop most of connections with Diamond and Pearl. Like, transition was too DRASTIC. But I do understand, that there ate people who adores 5 gen. I mean, I heard that 5 gen games was top tier. It's just, unfortunately, I stsrted to dwell into pokemon games since 6 gen, so I was unable to even play Black and White. Maybe in that case I watched anime in different context.
Also, I really like movies in that saga! Like Keldeo and Mewtwo (or Newtwo ( if you know you know)) put everything in their movies, and Victini's one with TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS was low-key something in cinematic universe level.
... That was looong ask, but I really need that out of my chest 😅
Nah, dont worry, go and vent its the first step to overcoming trauma lol I joke but seriously, if everyone sat down to understand what they dislike and like about a season like that, things would be so much simpler :v
BW is totally an attempt to a soft reboot! But there's one thing I feel folks often forget: The games themselves were that too!!
The lack of pokemon pre gen 5 was something that came from the games, as unova was the first region outside of Japan. Pokemon company was trying to start anew from all sides and that ended up affecting the anime the most because for some reason, it was decided that they would star anew, but keep a familiar face in Ash.
And then we have the fact that the BW games got a sequel immediately after, Black and White 2, and the story on those was directly connected to the first games, showcasing an Unova 2 years after BW1 (highly reccomend them btw, some of the best overarching story in pokemon games ever)
And like, the anime started with the narrator just saying Ash was still 10!! Someone surely made that a rule in the background, so how could they tell the story of a Unova 2 years later with a main character that just couldn't age?
So the writers just had to do their own thing. And probably made up so much of it halfway and also explain why they just scrapped so many characters of the day post league. They just wanted some time for people to forget the first half of BW to try and implement things from BW2.
And that's the thing, this issue is not from BW only. We know for a fact that there were plans for Ash to leave the anime during Johto, but they couldn't just say goodbye to him, so he stayed. Black and White was just the culmination of that decision. And I feel like hating on it alone is just… not aknowledging that pokeani is flawed from the get-go yknow?
What made BW that weird is what made Ash and Serena and the Kalos loss weird, what made journeys weird and what made 2beamaster miniseries that FUCKING WEIRD.
BUT GOSH TRIO!! Now the way those 3 were handled in the season is one thing I can't excuse lmao
People love to talk how out of character Ash acts this season, even though is not even that OOC when compared to pre DP, but TR were the ones that felt like complete different characters! And while I enjoy the whiplash of Ash gang doing silly things overlapped with very serious evil dutiestm, I feel like that that was a bad decision throught and throught. I get that at first they wanted a Team Rocket vs Team Plasma situation, but doing that with the TRio is just so weird.
HELL YEAH, I LOVE THE NEWTWO MOVIE! It makes no sense but gosh Mewtwo2 and genesect's relationship is just so ADORABLE i love them so much. Is those kind of stuff that makes me sad about BW, folks see a mewtwo that is not the main one and they dont give it a shot, but is such a heartwarming story in the end.

Tide: You are like Two troubled souls meeting in times of needed.. How sweet. . She seems lost in thought for a moment, as if she wanted to say something more, but stops and snaps back to reality. Her gaze softens as she looks back up at the goodra
Tumblr media
She giggles a bit Tide: I've been a teacher for a bit now, so I've seen my fair share of children whose parents weren't in the same egg group. It is possible, just tricky to deal with Tide: At least you both have some slug like qualities! I've been told that it can make it somewhat easier due to our.. amebous shape and DNA.. Tide: I do know a scholar back in my hometown, I could ask him if he has any books on the subject, if that might help assist? Tide chuckles a bit, waving her hand to fan her face Tide: No pressure of course! Just figured I would offer in case.
She dips her head in respect to the goodra Tide: Thank you for answering my question, I do hope I wasn't too invasive or brought up any bad memories.. She raises a clenched fist happily, as if she's excited and determined Tide: I'm rootin' for the two of ya! Considering what I've already somewhat seen just from being here for a moment, I can tell you two are great with children. I'm sure your child will be very loved!
She dips her head once more with a smile Tide: But I should probably get out of your hair for now! It seems like you all have stuff to do, I don't wanna gab at you forever and cause any troubles for anyone here! I hope you have a lovely rest of your day!
She waves a goodbye and turns to leave But suddenly she stops for a moment, something catching her eye A familiar face! A pang of awkward nervousness stabs her in the gut. How rude of her to not notice him sooner! Just waltz in and talk to someone else and accidentally ignore him! How terrible of her bad, bad Tide! Unsure on how to properly react given her sudden rising anxiety. She flashes a smile towards Paleo, waving her hand quickly, much like how a excited toddler would Her voice a mild whisper to hopefully not draw any attention to herself, or possibly spook any of the pokemon nearby. She figured most of the pokemon here wouldn't want a suddenly friendly yell from across the grass, so she attempted to keep her tone as quiet as she could.

Hello for hi, it is me again, hello!!!
I am having another question?
It is that. I miss my old friends of Tank and The Other Friends. Do you have other pokemon you used to with as friends that you are wish to see again?
-🐩
"Hi! Hi again!" Neneo chirps, circling the Friendly Furfrou. For a human-bound pokemon, he sure is given a lot of freedom to wander! "I'm so glad your humans let you come out to play, hi!"
His question is a little hard to make out behind all the excitement, but after a moment, she's pretty sure she's got it.
"I have lots of friends! Everywhere I go I make more! That way, if I don't see them anymore, it's okay, because there are new friends instead! I don't not want to see my old friends, but the new ones are more important!"
Tumblr media
"Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye to a friend, but then I just remind myself that I can have new friends the next place I go. And sometimes I go back to places I've been before, and my old friends are still there! That's lots of fun, because we can skip all the hard parts about meeting, and go right to adventures! Maybe one day you and Tank can go on adventures together too!"

JOURNAL 11. LOCATION: AZALEA TOWN
<<Got ambushed on my way to Ilex last night. Silver showed up out of nowhere and kept demanding a battle. A 'rematch,' he called it. It was so late and I was still thinking about everything that had happened in the Well. I told him, over and over and over again, that I didn't want to fight. But he kept cutting me off. Called me 'weak' when I started crying.
So I punched him. I don't know what happened and I've never hit anyone before, but I did it. I just saw red and I cracked him square in the face. And, looking back now, I honestly don't regret it one bit. At least he laid off for a second.
He fell backwards. His nose was bleeding. And he did send out his Pokemon to teach me a lesson, but Lumi, Sunny and Minerva all popped out of their balls to defend me. Even though they had just fought so hard, they managed to subdue Silver's entire team. He threw a tantrum at his Pokemon again and stormed away before I could properly tell him off for acting like such a bully. Idiot. I hope I never see him again.
That night in Ilex, I sat with my team. Even though they had battled through so much, I could tell that they wanted to keep fighting. To keep proving themselves. I read somewhere that most Pokemon live to battle and get stronger, and I wonder if that's true...if fighting's just in their blood. Even so, I promised them that I would keep pushing, too. For Prince. For Trouble. I can't give up just yet. I can't let them down.
I'm leaving Kurt's today. I didn't sleep well, but I'm still going to challenge Bugsy. I used to be scared of bugs, but I think all that time in Ilex is fixing me. Or maybe it's because I keep having nightmares about Growlithes and Houndours now...
I've gotta say goodbye now. Maizie's been clinging to my leg for so long that it's starting to go numb.
As much bad as I've experienced, I don't think anybody supporting me would want me to wallow or quit. Not yet.
It's time to keep moving.>>

Sweet Café
cw: confession fic, fluff
pairing: Emmet/Reader
Summary: A cute guy frequents your café with an apparent sweet tooth. He's quite blunt, you discover.
------
You had attracted a new customer, you realised, as he walked in again for what must have been the third time that week. He always walked in wearing his work uniform around noon, so you assumed he was stopping in during his lunch break. His uniform was something like what the Gear Station employees wore. Today, however, he was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans.
Silver eyes scanned your dessert display eagerly. While he usually pulled two coffees, one presumably for another reason due to just how different they were, only one sweet was asked for. Was he picking up for him and a significant other? Did he just like varied coffee? You could only wonder. He was not the most talkative of people you had come to realise. Always polite, though.
You stood behind the display as he surveyed his options carefully. Most were varying cake flavours, but there were a few different types thrown in. Cookies, cannoli, and a few pies had made their way in. The smile on his lips always made you want to grin right back at him. Admittedly, you were not above saying that he was a pretty cute guy. His eyes suddenly met yours, and you quickly averted them. Alright, now you looked odd to him. A giggle came from him.
“I am sorry for taking so long,” he said, “You just have so many options! I do not know which to choose.” You nodded at him. Really, it was not a problem for him to linger for a while since there were not any other customers around currently. He hummed as he looked through the display more. He had already tried a few of your cake flavours, mostly leaning towards the fruit flavoured ones. You wondered if we would like a pie.
“I don't mind,” you told him, “… Actually, since you've been so keen on trying them all, I'd like to ask your opinion about something I had been thinking about adding.” The man perked up at your words. It was then you noticed a small pokemon resting on his shoulder. It looked like… you squinted your eyes. A Joltik? Oh, that actually gave you a good idea. “I was thinking of adding macarons to my selections,” you told him, “Maybe doing a bit of theming with them, too.” Joltik macarons would be quite popular since you knew that the Nimbasa gym leader had one and that one competitive trainer had a Galvantula.
“Oh!” he looked at you excitedly, “Verrrry good idea! Do it.” He cheered you on. You smiled at him. “Can I have… a cannoli?” he pointed to them in the display. You gave a polite nod and knelt down to pull one out for him. Then, he placed only one order of coffee, a sugary and cream-filled one. You were stunned. Had he gone all this way for another person? “My brother and I enjoy your café a lot,” he told you as he paid, “If you ever find yourself in the Battle Subway, I will give you a serious battle as thanks.”
You blinked a few times. Like… that Battle Subway? You had figured he was an employee at the station, but was he actually… “Oh, I might have to take you up on that when I have a day off,” you agreed in your stunned state, “… You're a Subway Boss?” He beamed at you brightly and nodded.
“Heehee, I was not keeping it a secret,” the giggles that came out from him did not make you think he was one of the strongest trainers in the Unova region, “I am Emmet, and I am a Subway Boss.” Well, attracting a clientele like that was not a bad thing, you supposed. After pouring his coffee into a to-go cup, he bid you a goodbye and left.
… You were now more tempted to make the Joltik macarons than you had been ever before.
~
A week had passed since your invitation for a battle had come from Emmet, and while you saw him fairly regularly when he stopped in during his lunches, you would not say your conversations had been anything more than polite. It was strange how much you wanted to talk to him. Which is what led to you standing nervously before the Double Battle Line platform. Battling was not your favourite thing in the world, especially since more of your pokemon were more for use in the café than battling.
Still, you boarded the train and started battling your way through trainer after trainer with your team. It seemed, at least, helping you around the café had taught them good enough teamwork. And, well, you would say that this was more fun than you thought. Certainly, a change of pace to your usual days off from work. It was not long until you had made it through twenty battles and found yourself only a door away from your next opponent.
Emmet stood there, looking like he did when he entered your café. His eyes lit up at your entrance. “Oh, you actually came,” excitement leaked into his voice, “I promised you a serious battle.” You could tell he was not at all going to go easy on you. If you won this battle, it would honestly be a surprise to you, but you were more than willing to try. Soon, an intense battle erupted between you both.
Resulting in your loss, sadly. You sighed at the result, despite having expected it. Emmet still beamed at you, however. He approached you and clapped enthusiastically. “A good attempt,” he told with you a nod, “I see potential. Battle more.” You laughed.
“Sorry, this isn't really coffee making or baking,” you replied, “It would be hard to find the time.” He looked a bit heartbroken by your words. “Though, I did enjoy this, Emmet,” you quickly continued, “Thank you.” He shook his head. When the train came to stop, he easily showed you back to the entrance and waved you off. The bright grin on his lips made your heart race, oddly.
~
His next appearance in casual clothes came with an unexpected face. Elesa, a celebrity in the eyes of many, stood beside him as he eyed your dessert display. A gasp came from him. You giggled as you knew exactly what he saw. The little Joltik macarons were added today after an arduous testing period. It was difficult to make them look like the arachnids, honestly.
“Cute!” he cooed, “Were these the additions you asked me about?” You nodded. Elesa even gave a grin at them. Her eyes looked you over a few times, too, you noticed. It was a bit uncomfortable, like she was judging you in some way.
“Yep,” you replied, trying to ignore it, “I got the idea when you came in with that Joltik on your shoulder.” A different smile was on his lips as he looked up at with sweet eyes. Your heart raced again. Really? Him? The thought of you catching feelings for him was terrifying. Elesa suddenly stopped her harsh looks and gave you a genuine smile.
“Hey, Em, I have to call my agent,” she said easily, “I'll be right back.” The model stepped out of the store with ease to make her call, while Emmet let out a small laugh. It was so abrupt that you almost wondered if she was trying to give you alone time with Emmet.
“She was,” the Subway Boss spoke without missing a beat, “She knows that I like you.” You nearly jumped out of your skin at his bluntness. He turned to face you as you debated rushing out from behind the counter. “I have liked for a while,” he admitted with ease, “Do you like me?” Okay, you definitely needed to leave from out behind the counter. You easily made your way around to look him in the eyes.
“I mean, why so suddenly say that?” you asked, placing a hand over your racing heart. Emmet gave a sweet laugh as he pulled you into a tight hug, making your face grow warm. You returned the affection easily.
“Because it is the truth,” he said simply. The truth, huh… Your mind rushed to thoughts of the Dragon of Truth for whatever reason.
“Well, I do like you, too,” you replied with a sigh.
Elesa cheered as she walked back in.

Chronicles of Mama Okoye and Riri! VII
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Friendships
Okoye and Riri walked hand in hand towards The Citadel. The Palace where the Golden Tribe resided and where her mother reported for duty. Riri had only been there a handful of times and usually she'd wait outside where the other Doras were while making conversation.
Riri was familiar with many of them, her mother being General and all.She knew while on duty they couldn't talk to her, but that didn't stop her from talking to them, though. When waiting for her mother, Aneka or Ayo to be relieved she would walk up and down the hallways where each Dora was stationed and list off random facts to keep them entertained.
"You know, four seconds is the perfect duration to keep your oreos dunked. Well, that's what the amateurs say. But 3.774563 seconds is the exact value. I checked." Riri crossed her arms as she made huge steps down the hallway again. She then walked in front of another Dora whose name was Ashei.
"You know when you go into a really dark room, it isn't really pitch black. It's really called eigengrau. Basically it's just a reeaaalllyyy dark grey! Personally, I think it's funner to say eigengrau, but to each their own I guess." She shrugged while doing a little spin.
Riri then grinned and looked at the line of warriors, "Does anybody want to see me do a flip? I bet I can do it better than you guys!" She was met with silence but she knew that they were paying attention to her.
Riri got into position before she maneouvered into a back hand spring. She repeated the action ten times down the hall before she held herself upright in a handstand and then dropped to her feet again with a smile. "Don't tell Mama, but I do it better than her. She gets dizzy after eight and she turns off her axis by 2.0032 degrees. It's not perfect but I'll allow it. Nobody can be perfect like me."
The Doras weren't able to stifle their smiles at Riri's antics. They loved seeing Okoye's child entertain herself and by extension them as well. Riri was too adorable for her own good.
"Fun Fact, my favourite snacks are Shuku Shuku these days, so if y'all feeling generous, you can send them my way via Umama."
Loud clapping caught Riri's attention and she bristled, "Ah, ah! Riri! What are you doing trying to weasel snacks from the Doras, hm?"
Riri gave a light shrug, "They love giving me snacks! It would be blasphemy if I didn't take advantage!"
This caused a collective smile to come from the Dora Milaje before Okoye shooed her off and waved goodbye.
Riri added a skip to her step as she entered the Palace walls and left to her own devices with the Doras in their leisure lounge. Okoye had informed Riri that she just had to make a report to the King and Queen and then they'd leave for their Mommy-Daughter date.
Riri was greeted with hugs and kisses from the Doras on duty and given a bag of treats to which she excitedly accepted.
"Okoye said she was stopping by, so we had to get our favourite lecturer some snacks." Ashei informed as Riri kneeled on the ground and rummaged through the gift bag with feral vigor.
"Yo!! You guys got me Spicy Bigfoot?! I always wanted to try these!" Riri excitedly ripped open the feet shaped snacks and munched into them. "They're so good!"
T'Mara opened the fridge and clicked her tongue to catch Riri's attention, "Heads up!" She threw a bottle of soda at her, which Riri expertly caught and cracked open immediately and chugged a few sips. Riri then let out a large belch which made everyone laugh.
"So Riri, what new inventions have you come up with now?" T'Haylet queried.
Riri grinned, "It's for my own leisure, but I made some water guns! But not that dumb super soaker nerf stuff. I'm talking about Pokemon style hydro-pump attacks! All the other kids like it so much! You full a pack full of water that's connected to the gun and you shoot! Pray you don't blast off like Team Rocket though." She snickered.
The pinging of someone's kimoyo beads caught Riri's attention.
"I have to go relieve Aneka from her post. See you later, guys!" K'Maria announced as she started to walk out the room.
"Aunty Aneka?! K'Maria! I'll walk with you to go see her." Riri swiftly got up from the floor an put her bag of snacks on the table before following the Dora out.
Riri followed behind K'Maria at a decent distance until she saw Aneka come into view. K'Maria stood in front of Aneka where they both gave each other the Wakandan salute before switching places and finally tapping their spears on the floor, which resounded through the halls.
Aneka the briskly turned away from K'Maria and started to walk down the hall in the direction of Riri.
"Aunty Aneka!!" Riri rushed forward with open arms.
"Umtshana!" Aneka closed the distance and scooped Riri up into a hug and spun her around, "Did you come all the way here just to see me?"
"Of course I did, Aunty! You know I'd never miss a chance to see you. You should really tighten security though. I was like a shadow behind K'Maria and she didn't even suspect a thing! I should be a War Dog at this point." She brushed invisible dust off her shoulder in a display of haughtiness before they both broke out into laughter.
"Well, I should inform the General of that then. No, would it be considered a plus that her daughter can infiltrate the palace in a show of her expertise? Or a negative that a little girl waltzes in without being caught?" Riri put her hands on her hip, "Definitely a plus, duh. It means General Okoye is doing something good."
Aneka rubbed her hands over Riri's cornrows, "Aye, aye. Watch the merchandise, Aunty! These are fresh from last night!"
Loud footfalls and laughter came running down the hall and Aneka turned around to see what all the commotion was about. But was nearly bumped backwards.
"Princess!"
Shuri grabbed her arms around Aneka's waist while her body shook as she tried to quiet her laughter.
"Princess, what did you do?" Aneka asked in a knowing tone.
Shuri pulled back with a smirk playing on her lips, "I may or may not have poured some slime on top of T'Challa's head while he was trying to make a move on Nakia."
Aneka gasped, "Princess! That's not nice!"
Shuri shrugged, "What! Nakia thought it was cute! She even wiped his face while he gave her googly eyes. Those two are so adorable it makes me sick." She faked a gag before laughing again.
Riri peaked out from behind Aneka as she regarded the Princess. She never interacted with Princess Shuri before, but her mother said that she was a sweet girl. And that she loved to invent stuff to boot.
Shuri caught sight of Riri and walked around Aneka to better look at her, "You're so small I didn't see you there. If you were any shorter you'd be squished." Shuri joked.
Riri looked Shuri up and down, "And you look like you'd topple over should the wind blow too hard."
Aneka folded her lips to stifle her laughter at the exchange.
Shuri laughed and circled Riri," Oh, really now?"
Riri smiled, "Yea, beanpole."
"Beanpole?! You have some nerve, half-pint!" Shuri snapped back, but there was no animosity in her tone.
Riri shrugged, "I just call it as I see it, Princess."
"What's your name?" Shuri inquired.
"Riri."
Shuri gasped, "You're Okoye's daughter! She talks so much about you!"
Riri smiled, "Yea, she does that a lot."
"I'm so glad I finally get to meet you! You're a scientist too! Kindred spirits!" Shuri grabbed Riri's hand in hers. "Do you want to come see my lab?" Riri's eye lit up, "I can?" She bounced on her toes at the offer.
"Yes! It's my own personal space! My brother helped convince Mama and Baba that I can have one, thank Bast! Big Brothers are great for something."
"I wouldn't know. I'm an only child."
Aneka looked on as the girls got lost in their own world, forgetting that she was there. They were so cute! "Riri, aren't you supposed to go out with your mother?"
Riri looked over at Aneka and then back at Shuri and then Aneka again, "Yea, but I think she's still talking with the King and Queen. It'll just be quick, right Shuri?
Shuri grinned and nodded, "Yea, Aneka! It'll be quick! I'll even walk her back to Okoye when we're done!"
Shuri didn't even wait for an answer as she pulled Riri down the hall.
"Woah!" Riri spun around and looked around at the lights overhead and then at the art painted on the walls. "You decorated yourself?"
"Yea! It's my space, so I did some personalization."
Riri smiled as she placed her fingertips along the tabletop of one of the work stations, "You're so lucky! I wish I had a lab like this to work in."
Shuri hopped on a vacant work station, "Where do you usually work?"
"I just build a bunch of stuff in my room, or the backyard, depending how big it is, or the living room. But Mama gets so mad when I do that. The amount of times her feet drew blood because of my scattered parts...I lost count." Riri allowed her eyes to wander again, marvelling at the apparatus that lined the walls along with unfinished and completed inventions alike.
Shuri kicked her feet and smiled, "You can come use my lab any time you want."
Riri almost gave herself whiplash with how fast she looked over at Shuri again. "You're being for real right now?" She ran over to the older girl's side and leaned on the table.
Shuri nodded, "But under one condition."
Riri shifted all her weight on her forearms and she balanced on the tabletop, "What's the catch?"
Shuri tapped her chin and hummed, feigning contemplation. She then looked back at Riri, "You have to be my friend."
Riri fist pumped. "Heck yeah, I can do that! We're friends now!"
They both high-fived each other before Shuri hopped off the table to show her one of the projects she was working on.
It wasn't even a proper hour before Okoye was ringing Riri on her kimoyo beads.
"Riri, where are you? I thought I left you with the Doras?"
Riri opened her mouth the answer but Shuri butted in, "I kidnapped her, Okoye. We're holed up in my lab, but I'll walk her back to the entrance."
"Oh and Mama, can you stop by the lounge area to pick up my snacks please? I don't want to forget it." "Hm, I can. But I'm taxing you one snack of my choosing for picking it up for you!"
"Wha! Mama!" Riri couldn't even get any other words in because Okoye had already cut the call.
"I'll race you to the entrance!" Shuri said before taking off out of the lab. "Yo! You're a cheater!" Riri gave Shuri chase as their laughter reverberated through the hallways.
They both were neck-a-neck as they rounded a corner but they both ran into someone.
"Shuri." Queen Ramonda's motherly tone was laced with silent warning.
Riri balled her fists at her sides as the Queen's gaze fell on her. Uh oh. Was she gonna get in trouble?
"Sorry Mother! I was just having a race with my friend, Riri! For someone so short, she's surprisingly fast!" Shuri lightly jabbed.
Ramonda smiled at the shorter girl, "Okoye's child. It's a pleasure to meet you again, Riri."
Riri smiled in return, "Hello, Queen Mother. It's nice to meet you again too."
Shuri spoke up again, "Mother, since I have you, I want you to know that Riri will be coming over more often. She loves my lab! And we already started building something! She's an absolute genius! Second to me anyway."
"Hey!" Riri shoved Shuri which caused the other girl to laugh.
Ramonda looked at the exchange between both girls and she clasped her hands, "The both of you seem to have hit it off really well." The Queen looked over to Riri, "Well Riri, you are welcome at the Palace whenever you like."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Shuri held Riri's hand and walked off, "I have to get her to Okoye before she gets a spanking or something!"
"I do not get spanked. But if that's what Queen Ramonda does to you, I won't snitch or nuthin'." Riri teased.
"Oh, please! Do I look like I do anything to warrant spankings?" She faked an innocent face.
"Pray your brother doesn't tell your Mom what you did." "T'Challa isn't a 'snitch'. So I have nothing to worry about!"
Soon enough, both girls met Okoye at the entrance.
"Mama! Me and Shuri are friends now!" Riri ran up to Okoye and gave her a hug. "What? You are? That's good news!" Okoye smiled over at Shuri who looked proud of herself.
"Yea, she did it proposal style at everything. Talking 'bout 'Will you be my friend?" She snickered.
Shuri tackled Riri's ribs with light jabs of her fingers, "Hey! I let you use my lab and that's what I get?"
Riri giggled while trying to swat away Shuri's hands, "And the Queen said that I'm welcome to come by any time I want to hang out with Shuri, Mama!"
"That was awfully generous of her. Well, as long as Shuri's available, you can come over."
Riri turned to Shuri and gave her a big hug.
"Wait, wait, wait! Before you go, gimme your kimoyo ID! That way we can talk!" Shuri urged and held out her hand. "For sure!" Riri held out her own wrist and touched their beads together which logged the necessary data.
"I'll call you when I get home, okay?" Riri promised.
Shuri nodded and hugged her again, "I'm holding you to that."
Okoye smiled at the girl's exchange before waving Shuri farewell.
Riri and Okoye had sat down for dessert after they had their lunch, Riri scooped some ice-cream out of her mother's cup as she prattled on about Shuri, "And she's so hilarious, Mama! She's got jokes for days! And did I tell you she has plutonium? How come you never let me play with plutonium? I could do some serious stuff If I can get my hands on some plutonium." She gobbled up what was on her spoon before she went for her mother's cup again.
Okoye pulled away her cup, "You have in your cup, Riri."
"But Mama!" She whined, "Your flavour is better!"
"You should have thought of that before getting boring chocolate." She chided lightly but extended her cup towards Riri so she could have her fill.
"I called her a beanpole too." She laughed at the recent memory.
Okoye leaned closer to her daughter, "Were you being mean to her for no reason?"
"Nuh uh! She started it first, saying I would be squashed 'cuz of my shortness. So I just told her what it was." She stuck out her tongue playfully.
Okoye smiled and took a spoonful of Riri's chocolate ice cream, "I'm really glad that you found a friend in Shuri. She's a very nice girl. And bright like yourself, as you've seen."
"Definitely. She's trying to make a molecular Ant-Farm. I asked her if she liked bugs. She said not really, but she said that she could definitely do it better than the Pym-Particle guy. She's cocky, but I like it! She talks a big game and can back it up, that's for sure." She plucked the cup from Okoye's hand and pushed her chocolate ice cream over to her mother.
Okoye was happy that Riri had a new friend that could stimulate her mind as Shuri could, but she never realized how obnoxious it would have gotten. She would make sure Riri went to bed by 9 and she would hear Riri up talking and tinkering with her machinery at almost one in the morning.
"Riri!" Okoye pushed open the bedroom door to see Riri with thousands of sheets of blue prints lining the floor and a hologram of Shuri talking a mile a minute.
"Ma! This is important! I went to bed and the calculations just hit me like a bag of bricks! Shuri is helping me out." She quickly scribbled another sequence of numbers on a cluttered sheet of paper.
"Riri, you have school later. You need to rest."
"I'm already top of the class, I can miss a day." She muttered, half listening to her mother.
"Oooh smarty-pants doesn't need school." Shuri egged her on.
"I mean, the other kids are good of course, I'm just better." She shrugged.
"Bed, now!" Okoye gritted out.
"Mama, please! Just gimme 10 minutes!" Riri rummaged through her blue prints and told Shuri another series of numbers for her calculations.
Okoye wiped a tired hand down her face. "Five."
Riri nodded her head in understanding and continued her discussion with Shuri as her mother closed the door.
A few moments later Okoye came back through the door.
"You said five minutes!"
"Yes, and I gave you six! It's currently 1:38 am. Tell Shuri good morning and give me your kimoyo beads."
"What? Mama! No!" Riri cradled her wrist.
"Do not make me tell you again, Riri." Okoye said sternly.
Riri sighed and looked at Shuri, "I have to go but I'll talk to you when I wake up again."
Shuri smiled and waved, "Okay Riri, good night!"
The next morning, Riri barreled into Okoye's room and flopped onto the bed. "Mama! My beads! I need my beads! It's morning!" She jumped on the mattress until Okoye paid her some attention. Okoye deeply inhaled and took Riri's beads from her bra and handed it to her. She couldn't be too safe.
"Thank you, Mama!" Riri grabbed them and zoomed out the room.
Okoye finished making breakfast and Riri was on a call again with Shuri.
"What are you eating?" Riri asked as she bit into her eggs.
"I'm eating a bowl of mangoes." Shuri showed off a piece of the fruit on her fork.
"That's it?"
"Yea, what are you eating?"
"Pancakes!"
"What? Your Mama makes you pancakes?" Shuri marvelled.
Riri nodded vehemently, "Yea! I convinced her to try it some years back and she likes it." Riri shows off her own piece of pancake on her fork.
"What are you gonna do today though, Shuri?"
"I have lessons from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm. Then I'm free for the rest of the day."
"What! You're lucky! I have school from 7:45 am to 2:00 pm."
"Maybe we can talk during our break times today and then when we're done with our lessons!" Shuri offered.
"Okay, cool! We can do that!"
Okoye ended up having to confiscate Riri's beads every night so the girl could get a decent night's rest, much to Riri's annoyance.
But soon enough, they found a way to combat that problem!
"Mama! Mama!" Riri rushed into the backyard where Okoye was tending to her garden.
Riri smashed into Okoye's back and hugged her neck, "Mama! Shuri wants me to come over to have a sleepover."
Okoye looked over her shoulder and pressed a kiss to Riri's cheek, "When are you to leave?"
"She wants me to come over tonight!" Riri shook her mother's shoulder in excitement, "Can I go? Can I go please???"
Okoye smiled, "Yes, my love you can attend her sleepover."
"Yes!" Riri turned on her beads to call Shuri and ran to her room.
"Do you have your toothbrush, Riri?" "Yes, Ma!" "And your washcloth!"
Okoye smirked when she heard a loud groan and then Riri's rummaging through one of the drawers for a new washcloth.
Riri bounded out of her room with a backpack full of her essentials along with a few of her blueprints that she quickly spread on the table.
"Are you carrying all of that?" Okoye queried as she put on her shoes at the door.
Riri tapped on her kimoyo beads a few times as she scanned the blueprints, "Nah, these are the last of my designs that I needed to download for the thing me and Shuri are working on... Okay, done!" She grinned before running out after her mother.
Okoye threw an arm around Riri and hugged her closer as they walked, "I can't believe it. Your first official sleepover! Are you excited?"
Riri grinned and pumped her fists in the air, "Yea I'm excited! Shuri has it all planned out! We're going to eat a bunch of junk food till we pass out in the lab from burnout!"
Okoye shook her head, "And who has to take care of you when you make yourself sick, small girl?"
"You, Ma! That's what you're here for! I do stupid stuff and you scold me after and you make me feel better."
Okoye affectionately caressed Riri's neck, "Try to get at least some sleep, okay?" Riri nodded, "No promises though. We're scientists. So sleep is for the weak!"
Okoye and Riri arrived at the Citadel where Queen Ramonda and Shuri were waiting at the entrance. Shuri jumped and waved at Riri before Riri ran up the staircase to meet her friend.
Ramonda greeted Okoye with a smile. "She's in good hands."
"If she gives any trouble, don't be afraid to get her in line." Okoye reminded.
Ramonda waved Okoye off, "You know me. I won't hesitate. Now go home and relax or something. I can handle the girls."
Okoye nodded and called Riri over. "One more kiss goodbye."
Riri gave her mother five more kisses, an 'I love you' and a hug for good measure before running back to Shuri, disappearing further into the palace.
And thus began the start of an unbreakable friendship between the two girls.
