#pokemon angst

[colorfuldonutrunaway]

I noticed that when it comes to Pokemon Legends: Arceus and the discussion of how modern characters would react to the Faller characters disappearing, it's usually based around Ingo and Emmet. Understandably so, because separating those two brothers can start a whole fanfic series in itself.

But does anyone wonder about Akari/Rei? Do you think their mom, Barry, or Professor Rowan wonders where on Earth did they go? It's begging for some ideas if there aren't any already!

[andreadarcyart]

No, because this DLC no right to make me CRY the way it did over their relationship. It was so angsty and sad and all over miscommunication, my poor boy Kieran just felt left out and abandoned and was lashing out at the mc because he didn't know how else to deal with it 😭😭 I think this song sums up there relationship at this point quite well and I wanted the challenge of doing a very simple animatic. The angst gave me inspiration 😭💪

Forgotten Anniversary ~ Raihan

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.

~~~

It was your 5th anniversary with Raihan. Every anniversary, Raihan was able to be home and near. But about two months ago, Raihan has been distant from you. He hasn't came back to your place in a while. Your partner Clobbopus was worried about you because you weren't too happy and you did not understand why. 

Now while you thought the worse, Raihan was so caught up in all of his gym battles that he hadn't been home in a while. He did worry about you but that's why he gave you Clobbopus on your first anniversary. The Clobbopus would act as comfort and a guardian when he was busy at the gym.

The day of your 5th anniversary was almost over and you hadn't heard from Raihan all day. You tried calling him a couple of times but did not get a response till he came home finally. 

"Rai! Are you okay?!" You exclaimed as Raihan sighed. 

"Many gym challenges. I'll have to stay at the gym again. I'm just picking up other clothes." He said as you felt your heart breaking. 

"Do you remember today?" You asked as Raihan stopped to think. 

"No there's nothing special today. I know in two weeks is Bea's birthday but I think that's it." Raihan said before grabbing clothes. "I have to head back Y/n. I'll try to come back tomorrow. Love you."

"Bye Raihan." You said softly as he was out the door not even stopping when you did not say I love you. 

You called Bea up to see if you could fly over to her place and stay there. It hurt you Raihan was so focused on his gym and never took a break. And did not seem to care that he forgot your anniversary. You left a note for Raihan in case he came back and flew to Bea's apartment. 

It was about a week before Raihan came back to your shared apartment. He was excited to tell you that he took the week off and could stay home with you for a week. 

"Y/n! I'm home!" Raihan yelled as he heard no response. Even your Clobbopus did not come to greet him. 

Duraladon was already beginning to look for you while Raihan kept calling your name. Raihan was still calling your name. Raihan made it to your shared bedroom when he noticed most of your clothes were gone. He began to fret for your safety that maybe you were hurt until Duraladon came in with your note. It read:

Dear Raihan,

By now I have left and it probably has been a week. I left the day after you came home for the gym. While I understand Rai that you have a gym to handle and around this time is when gym leaders are being tested. I love you a lot but even when you were having to handle this, you would spend time with me. Enjoy my company. Not forget our anniversary. I love you a lot Raihan and I know it was only our 5th anniversary but I cannot handle this anymore. I want to feel wanted not left behind. I’m sorry but I had to leave.

Love,

Y/n

Raihan read the letter over and over again before he dropped to his knees. He felt his chest clench in pain. Tears were already falling down his face at a fast rate. His body could not help it but it was shaking. He hurt your heart and now he pays for it. Duraladon tried to lean down to comfort its owner but Raihan could not stop it. He felt like he could not breathe. 

It tore him up as he stayed on the floor for hours. The rest of his pokemon were trying their best to comfort but also failing. They knew how much Raihan depended on you. You were the one that he could break his walls down and not have to be a celebutante and gym leader. When you are not around, he has to put on the facade. 

He fell asleep in the bed with your faint scent while his pokemon watched over him. Raihan was strong to a degree but even he has to admit that he fell asleep with a tear stained face. It scared him how much you had an affect on him. He had to find you and apologize.

You were sleeping in bed with Clobbopus and a tear stained face. You noticed it was raining outside when you opened your eyes. You sighed and laid facing to the ceiling. You had talked to Bea the night you came over and you continued to help around her place. But yesterday you saw Raihan on TV and you broke down. You stayed in bed since then. Bea had already left so you stayed in bed. 

About two hours later, you noticed a Flygon outside the window of the guest bedroom. You were lucky Bea’s guest bedroom had a balcony so you could open it. You saw Raihan riding Flygon as your Clobbopus ran out after you opened the window. You felt your heart clench as you saw Raihan’s somber eyes.

“May I come in Y/n?” Raihan asked as you nodded your head. Raihan called Flygon back and walked in. He sat down on the bed as Clobbopus ran to his lap.

“So how did you find me?” You asked as Raihan rubbed the back of his neck.

“I asked Leon who did not know then I asked Milo and then I asked Bea and now I’m here.” Raihan rambled as you took the seat next to him.

“Then why are you here?” You sighed not noticing a tear run down his face. Duraladon got out of his pokeball and laid his head on your lap. You smiled softly and patted his head.

“I got your note a week late. I know this is horrible of me. I know I spend too much time at the gym. I’m extremely sorry for making you feel like I abandoned you and forgot our anniversary. It does not matter if it is our 5th or 50th, I should not forget it. I feel like a horrible person and it made me realize how much I need you. Instead of the facade of a social media gym leader, I can be myself with you.” Raihan rambled as you grabbed his hand halfway through his speech.

“It wasn’t just feeling abandoned. I hated that you are overworking yourself and we haven’t had a day to ourselves. I love you so much but I just can’t do the whole leaving me at home and not seeing you for weeks.” You explained as Raihan brought you into his side.

You two stayed quiet for a bit by each other’s side. Your partner and his partner pokemon were looking hopeful as you nudged your face into Raihan’s chest.

“Y/n, I am extremely sorry. I took the whole week off because I wanted it to just be us. I was just too late. I understand if you do not want to do this anymore.” Raihan sighed and you felt a tear from his eyes fall on your cheek.

“Raihan, I love you too much to just get rid of this. You make me way too happy.” You said softly as you looked up at him.

“I got you something to apologize for missing our anniversary.” Raihan said before pulling out a loveball. You clicked it open and an Appletun jumped out. He was already climbing onto the bed and to your lap.

“Rai! You did not have to do this!” You exclaimed as Raihan smiled.

“I’m glad he likes you.” Raihan said softly as you hugged Raihan softly to not disturb the Appletun in your lap. “Is it okay if I kiss you?”

You leaned forward as Raihan met in the middle to kiss your lips. His lips were pressed soft against yours which quickly shifted to a kiss full of passion. You were kissing back with need as Raihan touched your cheek. You broke the kiss and both of you were panting.

“I see the two of you have made up.” Bea said as you both jumped back in surprise. She laughed and walked back out of the room. 

“Would you come back to our apartment and I can make it up to you?” Raihan asked softly as you kissed his cheek.

“I would love to.” You said softly.

Raihan returned Duraladon before calling out Flygon. He jumped on Flygon’s back and held his hand out. You grabbed it after calling your pokemon and flew with him home. The following week you sent a card and gift to Bea’s house for her birthday but you two stayed home. You make food together, slept in, and played with all of your pokemon. It was a relaxing week you two needed to relax but also rebuild your relationship.

How to Break a Dragon's Heart

Yan!Dragon Hassel x Gn!reader

Sfw, Shitty Angst, confession and rejection.

Cw:yandere, kidnapping, killing your entire village just quirky Dragon things

This was the same dragon that kidnapped you? The same dragon that was feared by all, whose mighty roar haunts their nightmares, even for the strongest of knights who's shaking fear when your father even utters his name.

The same dragon that is now hiding behind a "big" rock, its golden eyes watching you closely with awe as if you do not see its pitiful attempts at hiding his large body and how his tail thumps at the ground with each powerful slam, causing the ground around him to shake.

Before you were tense and alert, thinking that he might eat you or torture you, but now, since death has never come and this is the first time that the dragon has made direct eye contact with you, only for him to look…f-flustered? you're just confused…. Hassel watched you a distance; however, when he noticed you were walking toward him, he felt his heart leap out of his chest.

"Human, what are you doing?" his voice bellowing deep and rumbling, but there was a hint of nervousness that you had picked up, giving you more confidence. "What is your plan with me, dragon?" You ask, glaring up at the Beast staring into pools of gold. Its eyes Pierce through your soul; you can see the dragon fangs poking from its maw, sharp like knives built for tearing through soft flesh. Your bravery was one of the many things Hassel loved you for; despite what he was known for, although you're more unsavory opinion of him, you still give him a chance to answer bravely and politely. Realizing that it would be better to talk to you in a more comforting form, a bright light surrounds the figure of the lizard as he shrinks from quadruped to bipedal one, his paws turned into more human hands, though his nails are still sharp like claws. His reptilian maw disappeared completely in favor of a human face. And you dare say, handsome, those same golden eyes that struck fear in the hearts of many knights were now on the face of an older man with a gentle smile. His golden scales disappeared completely in favor of golden locks of hair instead of a low, scratchy, growly voice. His human form sounded smoother and husky. You're he would have captured the hearts of women in your village if he wasn't the same dragon that attacked said village.

"I mean you no harm, little one, I promise."

Even now, in this human form, he still towers over you; small and aggressive like a little firecracker, the way you tense up and bear your teeth at him, the way you stand your ground, narrowly reminding him of a hissing kitten. Hassel, that's all back to his urge to hold you in his arms and nuzzle his face into your neck.

"Lies! You have taken me from my family, holding me in your nest. Tell me the truth, Dragon!"

Hassel sighs, scratching his head with a finger, hoping he could avoid telling you why he had come to your home, setting many people in a blaze to carry you delicately into his claws. He could feel heat rush to his face, his heart starting to beat with nervousness, setting trying to find his words.

"I- I'm in love with you. I wish to court you."

Those words hit you harder than a cart going down a hill at full speed. You expected many things, but a confession from the most terrifying dragon in all the legends was not one of them. And even now, Hassel stands before you, fidgeting with his fingers, eyes looking nervously at the ground, waiting for an answer, which is struggling even to be a concept in your mind.

Your hesitation is apparent to him; perhaps he owes you an explanation. He gives you a soft look full of love, approaching you; you stand before him, still frozen and dumbfounded; it hadn't fully occurred to you when fingers gently caress the side of your face, looking deep into your eyes. An arm snakes slowly around your waist, pulling you slightly closer to his body. His voice, low and husky, lowers it even more to a whisper. To tell you something only he wants you to know

"I've been watching you with every chance I get, whether it be perched upon high cliffs or in my human disguise. Your kindness warms my heart; your smile is brighter than the sun despite your kind, greedy, and nasty tendencies; you still bless them with your love, giving things up to the less fortunate and working hard alongside your fellow man. Your soft heart is something I rarely see in my kind. I can't help but be attracted to you."

The dragon poured his heart out to you. You hate to admit it, but his confession was cute. You had almost forgotten that he'd burned down half your village just to kidnap you.

Your face flushed as embarrassment slowly turned into anger, pushing him away. Hassle's eyes widen, filling with her as he stepped back from you when you escaped from his arms.

"I-I don't love you, and I never will take me back! If you truly loved me and brought me back to my Village to my home!"

You practically scream, your voice raising at the sick monster that claimed who loved You after killing half of those you cared about and burning down your home. Hassel chokes up, heartbroken, and it hurts to no end. He could feel his body shake; his chest tightened so much it was hard to breathe. It hurts being rejected by someone he loved quietly for years, conscious teeth trying to fight back the tears, studying his breath; he wanted to escape into his den to cry. But he didn't want to lose you years of pining just to be yelled at? No, he needed you. His heart hurts, but he can't let you go. Those golden eyes that looked at you with love lost their shine, darkening as he walked closer. Suddenly, the air has changed, feeling more hostile. Instinctively, you step back, which only makes him stalk closer. His voice was no longer gentle; it was direct and commanding as he growled. "I apologize, but I can't do that." This is when you realize he was much stronger than you, grabbing you and yanking you back into his arms with ease. Like you were a mere rag doll, was he only humoring how weak you actually are compared to him? Maybe, just maybe, if he keeps you, perhaps you'll fall for him. To love him just as profoundly as he left you. Only time can tell, and unfortunately for you, he has an eternity.

[just-a-laughingstock]

Do any of you realize the angst potential the legends games bring in canon? We could literally have a repeat of Black2 White2.

Imagine if they made a game where you could return to Sinnoh or Kalos, and you go to the original town and enter the protag's house. Only to see their mother grieving. Cause in Black2 and White2 they told her they were leaving and she's grieving the fact they never came home.

In Legends Arceus, and likely Legends ZA, the protags are practically kidnapped. Their moms just wake up one morning, go upstairs and their kid is gone. No note, no call, no signs of forced entry, no signs of leaving. Their kid dissappeared in the wind. These mothers would go through so much grief since there is 0 clue where their kid went.

Imagine one of two things:

You walk into the house and their mother just runs down stairs looking hopeful, only to see you. And seeing that hope drain from her face as she realized her child didn't finally return home and it's a completely different child. Imagine her realising that you are what her child could have become if they hadn't disappeared. Imagine her telling you to go visit your mom or give her call cause she likely misses you more than anything.

You walk into the home in disrepair as if it's been destroyed over a period of years, the only room untouched is a child's bedroom upstairs. Imagine finding some open diary of a mother grieving the disappearance of her child. How she never got to say good bye. How nobody knows where they went. And how she just left to find them herself.

Imagine that.

Just a thought

[gummywurm-gaming]

I like to think drayton didn't know that ingo was missing for a really long time, lacey knew because her dad knew but she along with emmet, elesa, drayden, and iris all agreed not to tell him so he would focus on his school work and pass his second year(technically third year as he failed too many classes his actual second year and had to retake it) and it worked for a while! Drayton was blissfully unaware until clay visited lacey one day and was confused as to why drayton was so happy and carefree.

"Son why do you look so happy? you know your dad's missing right?" followed by a small "what?" from drayton, processing clays words as lacey trys to tell her dad to stop but it's too late. "ingos been missing for months now, did you seriously not know?" lacey finally gets Clay out of the room as drayton begins to spiral.

drayton becomes distant and starts to fail classes again, leading him to fail second year again.

DRABBLE #1

(not requested, demonstrating writing capabilities)

idk i just kinda wrote this... use this as an example for my work i suppose :) also, for requests i will make them a bit longer than this is, just a heads up. (vague character name mentions, other than carmine and kieran- and fem prons. for reader/mc)

A small knock at the door could be heard, yet she ignored it. Her mind was clouded with feelings of guilt, shame, and anger at her own self for the way things had ended up regarding the events in Kitakami.

The one thing she would never forget was the way Kieran looked at her after he had found out. He looked... broken. Hurt by the choices she made. It almost felt as if the light had completely dissipated from within him, leaving a cruel husk of the boy behind.

The way her heart shattered as she heard him utter 6 words that catastrophically made her truly realize the significance of both hers and Carmine's actions when he walked away. "...Why? Why'd you lie to me?"

After all that, she couldn't bare the thought of what she had done, even if it wasn't her idea. He must hate me, the girl thought, as a slight breeze knocked a pokéball that had been very clearly collecting dust right off of the top shelf of her desk and into her line of sight.

The sight of it made her freeze up for a singular moment, it was as if the universe was trying to tell her something mayhaps. The girl let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding, as she picked up the pokéball- clutching it tightly in her grasp.

"It's been a while, huh." She murmured, her finger clearing the remaining dust off of the ball. She set it back down, and decided to send a letter. Maybe things could actually work out. This gave her hope.

Unfortunately that hope wouldn't last long, as days, weeks, and months went by and not a single letter or anything in response. Maybe she truly had screwed everything up. She should've told him in the beginning, against Carmine's judgment.

Maybe then, if it went that way, in another time, he wouldn't hate her.

[ourvanishingghosts]

hiya can I req piers,raihanx F!reader all separate with reader being a magician and decides to prank em but it accidentally goes wrong? angst to fluff or u can just make it angsty ?

Sure. This is my first time writing angst, so I hope it's good. Trigger warning: Bones almost breaking and finger being "cut off"

Prank Gone Wrong

You would pull pranks on Raihan at least once a month. It was easy to do since you are a magician. Your current prank includes you making it look like a demon possessing you. It went too far because your arm had almost snapped, but your Gengar left your body before that could happen. Raihan was so upset and angry that you thought that would be funny. You decided that you would stay at Melony's house for a while so that Raihan could have his space. You did get a lecture from Melony. Once he was ready to talk things over you promised that you wouldn't do a prank like that ever again. You two even made and signed a written contract just to be sure. And you two spent the day watching tv.

You were an illusionist type of magician. You could make it appear that you were missing a finger up to making a whole Pokémon disappear. You did use your abilities to your advantage when it comes to pranking Piers. You thought it would be funny to make it seem like you had just cut off your finger. You and Piers were making dinner and you let out a yelp. He asks you if you were alright. You said no and showed him the "damage". He went paler than he already is as he tried to put pressure on it with a paper towel. You felt bad when you told him that it was a prank. You started apologizing as your finger reappeared. You were also crying at this point. You ended up locking yourself in your shared bedroom sobbing. Luckily his Obstagoon was in there and comforted you by holding you on the bed. After you finished crying and fell asleep was when Piers entered the room. He let the Pokémon know that he will take over and he just laid you down on the bed and tucked you in. He positioned himself under the blanket and he just held you throughout the night not planning on letting you go.

Mr. Loverman

Holy crap this is long but hopefully good enough for a read! <3 

Emmet x Reader

Warnings: Angst, Afab!Reader (not sure if I ever put in pronouns in here, I did try to make it as gender neutral as possible), Long fic, you and Ems get into a fight

Watching the security cameras wasn’t as interesting as he thought it would be. Since he was grounded to desk duty, Emmet was stuck doing paperwork or watching over the station. It wasn’t his fault Metro, his joltik hitched a ride in his pocket and ate through the fuse box! He’s a hungry boy! 

Emmet snorted, a stray thought passing through his head as he watched the passengers mill around his platform. ‘I am Emmet and I am the train god, watching over the little people’   

His bored eyes flitted through the screens as he changed the camera channel. Stopping at a random platform, Emmet leaned back against his chair. He can hear Metro snoozing near a framed picture on his desk. 

Emmet bit his lip. It’s been literal years…he can’t get over it. It was a picture of him, Ingo…and you…on the very first day of the gym challenges.  

You and him had been friends since the both of you were in diapers. He knew you were the one, ever since you beat him in a double battle and seeing your unbridled joy when his last pokemon fell,  he knew you and him will stay together forever…maybe..that’s why it drove you away. 

                                                           —-

“Emmy, come on! Don’t be mean or I’m telling Ingo! I thought you said you got that for me!” 

A teenaged Emmet grinned, holding a tynamo keychain over their heads. He was always taller than you and he never lets you forget it. Ingo had always wanted a baby sister to take care of, mom says it’s because dad was such a family man that it rubbed off on him. 

You were so spoiled with Ingo and just so cute when you pouted like that. Emmet doesn’t see you as a sister..he never did.  

Lunging at him, he laughed and held you tight against his chest, stopping you from bowling the both of you over. 

“I am Emmet and I’ll give it…if you give me a kiss!” 

The both of you froze in place.

Oh. Oh no. He wasn’t supposed to say that. 

“W-what..?” Your face flushed red and slowly curled your fingers against his chest. The keychain was forgotten momentarily. 

Emmet swallowed the lump in his throat. Well…he did say he likes winning more than anything else..he’s not gonna lose! 

“I…I said, I a-am..Emmet” Your nodded slowly.  . 

Were you always this cute? Of course you are. He can feel a burning blush creeping up from his neck to the tips of his ears. 

“A-and..I’ll give this..if!” He can feel his hands sweat as he nervously grips the stuffed keychain in his fist. “If you give me a kis-mph!” 

His eyes widened at the way you held him tight. Your arms were wrapped around his neck, if he listens closely he can almost hear the way your heart started beating in sync with his. Fluttery and nervous. 

Emmet softened his hold just as you pulled away, just barely leaving his lips. “I-uhm..you were taking too long and-” 

“Wow..”  He had that dreamy look on his face as he sighed dreamily. “I want more” 

“What-oh!” 

Emmet’s smile widened as he kissed you again, 

And again. 

And again. 

The both of you giggling against each other’s lips as you and him continued to smooch. Arms wrapped around each other, the toy completely forgotten as it fell on the grass. 

Lil toy tynamo was attached to your bag the next time he kissed you.. It’s been a few days since you and Emmet made your relationship official. Ingo begrudgingly accepted this but warned Emmet to care for you like he does. 

“Don’t worry brother! Of course I will! I won’t say they’re my sister though! Cause that's weird!"

Emmet quickly dodged an incoming punch from Ingo. 

The first few months of the relationship was great! Emmet is so attentive and loving! Always having an encouraging thing to say during a loss and tight hug after every win. 

Everything was bliss and it feels like nothing's gonna change it. Just the two of you..plus Ingo. 

As it is with young love, the honeymoon phase didn't last forever and with roughing it out in the wilds during the gym challenges…it wasn't always smooth sailing. 

The battles were getting harder and the losses were piling higher than the wins. Granted, you were getting pissed off at the losses as well. I mean..the gyms wouldn’t be a challenge if it was easy now would it? A battle isn't fun if it wasn't serious after all. 

Ingo gnawed on his nail as the both of you waited in the gym’s lobby while Emmet took his turn to battle. So far, only Ingo had won this gym’s badge while you and Emmet were struggling. You managed to get it on the second try but Emmet…Emmet’s starting to get a little impatient. 

Emmet was too brash in making decisions, talented as he is but when the pressure was on, he tended to stutter a result from him being selectively mute as a child making Ingo do all the talking to compensate. 

HIs pokemon tended to hesitate during those times making them vulnerable to attacks.

You can feel the tension as Emmet walked out of the battle court. Despite the smile on his face, the way his eyes were hardened into a glower shows how infuriated he truly is. 

“Another loss” 

Uh-oh. Blunt Emmet. 

“I’m sure you’ll get them next time Emmy” You smiled, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. The younger twin stiffened at your touch. 

“I am Emmet! And I don’t like to lose!” Emmet pushed your hand away and rubbed his face in frustration. You can’t help but feel hurt by the rejection but pushed on. It’s been a cycle lately. 

Other than impatience, Emmet was always more prone to explode when his emotions get the better of him. 

Ingo frowned, standing up. “Brother! Don’t be rude” He grabbed his and Emmet’s bag before handing it to him. “It’s not like the league gave us a time limit to finish the gyms...we’ll just try again” 

“It’s okay Ingo! He didn’t mean it! Em's just a little miffed" You waved your hands dismissively. 

Emmet approached and wrapped his arms around you tight. “I am sorry..I will make it up to you with a date mhm!” You giggled, pressing a kiss on his cheek. “I’ll hold you to that” 

He wiggled his eyebrows and pressed his lips against your temple before locking his arms around your shoulders to smother  your face in kisses. 

You squealed, laughing at how he's tickling you. "Em! Stop!" 

Ingo sighed but smiled in relief. 

The date never happened. 

Things started to get off track as Emmet decided to spend all his time honing his team's moveset. Granted, you know how this means to him but would it kill him to take a break and spend time with you? Ingo sometimes does his own thing and you don't have the heart to butt in when he sometimes prefer to work solo to give his ‘mons his full attention.

You bit your lip, staring down at the pizza that Elesa bought for the group. Emmet came back to the diner after going to the PC box with a new friend and said she was doing the gym challenge too. 

Elesa is a sweet girl, albeit a little eccentric with her red and blue shoes and big puffy yellow dress. She dreams of becoming a model that does battling and right now her and Emmet were discussing joltiks. 

"That's why I made this dress! It's inspired by my cousin’s joltik because they're so cute and fluffy and bright yellow!"

Emmet oohed, pinching the puff sleeves of Elesa's dress. The electrifying girl beamed with pride as he examined it.

"How talented! Yup! Very joltik like" He took a bite of pizza and hummed. "I haven't had pizza in a while! It's always rice balls" 

You frowned. You made those rice balls…and Emmet always said he likes them. Especially the ones with jelly in the middle. They were saving money because potions and revives are expensive in the city and-and if he wanted something different then why didn't he tell you?? 

You can't help but feel the green eyed monster pop up. You were supposed to be sitting next to your Emmy but coming back from the bathroom you found that Elesa was sitting beside him to show one of her battles in the previous gym.

Ingo placed a hand on your shoulder and smiled that skitty smile he tends to do. "Don't worry, I like your cooking, home cooked meals are always the best"  You just bite into your pizza, not really tasting anything.

Day in and out, the four of you trained as diligently as you could to beat the gyms…but a heavy feeling in your chest started to form at seeing your exhausted pokemon while the twins’ plus Elesa's barely broke a sweat. 

You never remember having to catch up to them before. It came to the point that sometimes it takes 3 tries to beat one gym while Ingo and Emmet stayed in the lobby to wait for you.

You don't remember falling behind..

Ingo doesn’t seem to mind but Emmet seems slightly irate at having to wait. He was never good at being patient. He was never malicious of course but the feeling of being inadequate still settled in your chest at seeing how the twins seem to be more interested in talking to their new friend than they were with you.  

You try to join in on their conversations and at least Elesa pays attention to you but then on occasion Ingo and Emmet seem to drown you out with topics you can't seem to follow, rendering you to fall quiet in the background.

Elesa has never had to redo battles. 

"My dad was a small town gym leader and gave me tips! I can teach you if you like!"

They were walking to the Pokémon center after another gym battle. As usual, you were the last to finish. 

You were walking behind the three as they laughed at some story Elesa was telling. You missed the punchline since your fight took a little longer than usual. 

Emmet got you a castelia cone in a cup. It was a little melted…and they already finished theirs while waiting. 

Irritation bubbled to the surface at seeing how the twins were more in sync with Elesa than with you anymore.

Emmet nodded, "Oh yeah! Do that darling! That way we can go to the championships quicker! Yup!" 

Ingo's brows furrowed at how insensitive his brother is being. "Emmet-" 

You frowned, "I can do just fine, but thank you for the offer" 

Your boyfriend blinked confused at the icy tone in your voice

"My darling is verryy hardworking but it doesn't hurt to get help sometimes right?" He smiled, reaching to hold your hand and give it a small kiss. 

You would've smiled at the gesture if he wasn't implying that you were too incompetent to train your own team. 

A gasp was heard and Elesa waved at you three. "Emmy! Look!"

Emmy?

"This guy is selling evolution stones! Maybe he has a thunder stone for your Eelektrik!"

Eelektrik?

"Tynamo evolved?" Your shoulders slumped a bit, hand falling from Emmet's. "How come you didn't tell me? That's..great!" 

Emmet furrowed his brows as he was wracking his brain for something. "Did I not tell you? He evolved a while ago!"

"But you told Elesa..?" 

"I must've forgotten in the excitement..I'm sorry darling" Emmet leaned down and gave your cheek a kiss.  "I'll make it up to you, yeah?" 

He smiled, marched around you and waved at the man behind the stall. "I am Emmet and I want a thunder stone please!"

Ingo was already at the counter looking at items. Leaving you behind. 

You didn't really need anything to evolve your ‘mons..well maybe metal coat for your scyther but that's a special trade..

You frowned, you refused to have to fall behind and decided to train, almost decimating the local bug population to be at least up to par with the twins’ team up. Especially when some wild Pokémon decides to do double battling. 

You're getting kinda good at this. 

The hard work paid off and the losses were becoming minimal and the momentum brought you all to Nimbasa City. 

Coming from a small town, all the lights and the sounds were so foreign despite being in the same region. 

The twins' eyes sparkled at seeing the Nimbasa City Train Station. You and Elesa shared an amused look before following the twins march into the building.

Ingo and Emmet scampered around the place gawking at the parked train cars, spouting out facts and did-you-knows and even decided to try out the Battle Subway. 

Only to be sorely disappointed at how easy it was to plow through. It only took them an hour to finish. 

"How disappointing brother, maybe they should make the trainers do double battles instead! Make it more exciting! Yup yup!” 

Ingo shrugs, “It would certainly make it more interesting, yes” He waved at the two of you. “And make it longer to finish too...” 

Elesa went ahead as you paid for some snacks to talk to Ingo. 

You were about to hand over a bottle of Feraligatorade to Emmet when Elesa beat you to the punch and handed the both of them some juice bottles. It shouldn’t have hurt, Elesa is their friend too but it kind of felt like they didn’t even notice your outstretched hand. 

You slowly placed the extra bottle in your bag. Thorny vines tightening around your chest.

“-and that’s why as a future Subway Boss, I’ll enforce double battling on my line and you have to go through 20 battles to get to me!” 

Emmet grinned and finished his drink. “Thank you Elesa! That really hit the spot” 

The thorns surrounding your heart start to constrict even tighter. 

Elesa grinned, patting Emmet’s arm before grabbing his hand. “Now come on! Let’s go to the amusement park ! You promised!” 

“H-hey..What about-” They both started to run ahead of you and Ingo. 

Ingo sighed, finishing his bottle. “I swear those two can get so excited: He chuckled, waving a hand towards you. “Let’s go my dear lest we lose them in the crowd” 

You rubbed your arm, following behind him. “What about the gym..?” Ingo hummed, “Well we can always do it after..besides I think the gym is near the rollercoasters anyway” 

I thought you and Emmet wanted to go to the championships quickly? 

Bitter thoughts swirled around your head as Emmet’s attention was consumed by Elesa. 

Elesa wasn’t doing anything wrong. She even corrected a vendor when they thought she was dating Emmet! Pulling you towards them to show the matching tynamo keychain that you and the younger twin had attached to your bags. 

You don’t blame the vendor…Emmet hasn’t been a very attentive boyfriend lately. Everytime you tried to spend time with him, it was always cut short to train or to challenge someone to a battle.

Ingo started to spend more time with you because of this. Assuring you that Emmet still loves you with all his heart. He just gets easily distracted. The sad part was you did try to believe Ingo but Ingo shouldn’t be the one to assure you…Emmet was! 

You know he still loves you. He goes to you at the end of every day. Sleeps in the same bed and says I love you but is it so hard for him to notice you? 

Actually talk to you outside of strategizing your fights? Treat you like an actual girlfriend? 

You were starting to feel a little neglected and frankly ignored. The I love yous were starting to feel empty and routine when they’re only words without actions. 

The nimbasa city badge felt like a hollow victory when all four of you managed to beat it once. 

Camping out in the wilds was a lot more exciting than staying in the inns, a lot more cost effective too. A trainer’s budget isn’t that large after all.

You and Emmet finally managed to set up the tents while Ingo and Elesa went back to the city to grab supplies they forgot to get. 

“Emmet…? Can we talk-” 

The younger twin was already grabbing his bag and cap before he stopped to look at you. 

“What the hell-are you just gonna run off again??” The frustration of being always left behind was slowly spilling over. 

“I am Emmet and I have no idea what you’re talking about. We never left you behind! That would be verrry mean”  

His eyebrows furrowed as he slowly grips his bag, “We always wait for you before we set off on our next leg of the adventure”  

The whole relationship has been on thin ice ever since that big fight you had with him a few days ago. You and Emmet never had a fight before and everything spilled over without any filters. 

It was harsh and cruel and with the both of you being too young and brash, words were said before Ingo and Elesa had to pull you two apart before the both of you said something you might regret. 

“I am Emmet and that is not fair and you know it! You changed too!” 

“All I’m saying is would it kill you to pay attention to me for once!? You used to be so sweet and actually feel like you’re interested in me! What happened??” 

“I pay attention! Mhm! I know your favourite ice cream flavour, I know when you’re hungry, I know what type of gifts you like-!” 

“None of that matters when they all feel empty!” 

“Empty-!? How dare-you think me spending my hard earned cash on you is empty!? I say I love you for arceus’ sake!” 

Ingo grabbed Emmet’s arms before he could march up to your face. “Emmet! Stop this!” 

Elesa was holding you back too. “Wait sweetie! This isn’t right! Stop!” 

“It’s not about the material things and you know it! When was the last time you held me that isn’t with you dead tired at the end of the day?!” 

“What else is there-!?” 

Ingo got in between you two. “Stop this! At once!” His brotherly instincts take over with his booming voice. Pidoves flying away from the volume. “The both of you will continue this talk once you cool off! No ifs or buts! Now walk!!” 

Emmet shoves Ingo’s hand away and stalks off while you turn your back and start rearranging the camping gear, Ignoring the tears falling down your face. Elesa hands you a handkerchief before leaving you alone with your thoughts. 

Sweet, nice, bright Elesa. 

You know it’s not her fault but why does it feel like you’re being slowly replaced? Elesa is way prettier and more talented and more exciting than plain old you.. Does he even like you anymore? 

Emmet shuffled in place. He doesn’t want to fight. Not like that again. It hurt. It hurt so much seeing you cry. He didn’t go very far when he stomped off. He couldn’t leave you alone after that. 

The wild flowers he picked up along the way didn’t seem enough of an apology and he trashed it before he could hand it over to you. 

He crawled into bed with you that evening and hugged you tight. You didn’t hug him back like you usually did at the end of the day. Your back facing him. 

But he did hear you sniffle. The quiet way your body shook as you tried to keep your cries down so as to not wake him. Did he do this? 

Emmet didn’t sleep at all that night. 

You don’t like gifts…you don’t like it when he suggested you and him eat at this cute crepe stands you like so much. It’s like you gave up…gave up on him. He didn’t mean to make you feel this way..

Did he really ignore you like you said? He thought the four of you were having fun? Traveling together with friends and meeting pokemon and battling challengers! 

He thought you were okay after? He apologized after that fight! He held you close as you both cried and gave kisses to each other! 

But after that…everything stayed the same. Nothing changed.

When was the last time he held you that didn’t involve the fight? Gave kisses for no reason? Words are meaningless if they aren’t backed up.

Is that why you won’t look him in the eyes right now? Emmet swallowed the dread forming in his throat. 

You sigh, shoulders slump over and letting your hands fall to your sides tiredly. 

 “It’s..whatever, just go do whatever it is you’re gonna do” 

Do whatever? You never said that to him before..When did he break you down like this? When did he get so unafraid that you won’t leave him no matter what he does? 

But he’s afraid now…he’s very afraid.

“I…I am Emmet, I didn’t mean-..” 

“That’s just it Em..you didn’t mean to, I know you didn’t mean to, I know it’s hard for you to express your feelings in words and sometimes physical touch makes you squirm but sometimes.. Sometimes I wonder if..” 

Emmet can feel the bitter dread come up his throat. It makes him wanna throw up. 

“Sometimes I wonder if..it’s worth it to-” 

“No, do not continue the thought” Emmet clamps his hands over his ears, trying not to think about THAT possibility. 

“Emmet! I need you to listen to me! I am not going to be ignored this time!” 

The younger twin flinched hard, his hands slowly falling to his side. “Emmet..?” 

Emmet. Emmet?? He was never Emmet to you! He was always honey, Emmy, Em, love! So many nicknames! He was NOT Emmet to you! 

“I..am..Emmet..? I-” You sighed, rubbing your face. “Emmet..I” You can feel your lip split from your biting too hard. You can’t take it anymore..you had a long think about whether it's healthy to play second fiddle to everything else on his list. To ignore your feelings in favour of not rocking the boat. 

It’s not. And you don’t want to feel less than. 

“You only started paying attention to me when we had that fight..is that gonna be our future? I know we’re basically too young to think about long terms. but..if it means we always need to fight for you to notice me then I don’t want to be in this type of relationship anymore” 

You crossed your arms.

“You pay more attention to Elesa than your own girlfriend that even Ingo noticed..”

Emmet frowned. You’re just jealous? You have nothing to feel jealous about! “Elesa is just a friend and you know it…she never expressed feelings for me!” 

“I know! She’s just a friend but when was the last time you treated me like a girlfriend and not some kind of bed warmer or-or a battle partner?? We’re not in sync anymore Emmet..not..happy” 

“I see..not happy because of this jealousy then?” 

“Have you not been listening to me ohmyGOD” 

You swear you’re this close to tearing your hair out. “It’s not because I’m jealous! We’re just not happy with each other and you seem to be more focused on battling than you are with me! I don’t want to be on the back burner!”

“You never were! I am Emmet and I love you!  You never told me all this until we had that fight!” “I tried! I tried talking to you but you always brush me off! I just-!” 

He can’t lose. 

He always did say he loves winning more than anything else. You won’t leave him. You promised. You never back out of your promises.

“Well fine! You say we’re not happy! Then we probably aren’t!” Emmet’s emotions are getting the better of him. He just wants this over with! Impatience is a bad habit but he can’t seem to kick it out of his system.

He was being unreasonable, he knows. He knows what he’s doing is wrong. He should have been paying more attention. He should have noticed how you’re pulling away. He shouldn’t have assumed that you can figure all this out on your own and will come back to him when you’re settled and the both of you will have your happily ever after.  

It’ll be fine. Later on, he’ll apologize again. He’ll get flowers, take you on dates-!

Why can’t things go back to how they were? His thoughts are too loud and overwhelming and he can feel his fingertips prickle as he shakes his hands like he’s drying them after a wash. 

Why is everything so loud?? When did his breathing get shallow? He can’t think properly! 

Emmet can feel a headache forming and didn’t notice what he said next. 

“In fact! Why don’t we just end it if you’re so unhappy!?” 

The thorns squeezed your heart until you felt it give way, the pieces slowly breaking and falling apart. 

“Ah..I see” 

His hands stopped shaking as his brain managed to finally catch up to what he blurted out. Hands clamped his mouth shut before quickly walking over and grabbing your hands to hold on to. 

“I am Emmet…I didn’t mean it..! I didn’t mean to say it!” 

Your hands were limp in his hold as you refused to look at him any longer, glaring at the grass.  “No..no you’re right..”

“No…No! I didn’t mean it..! Please..” His eyes started to water as he whimpered out your name, shakily pulling your arms and holding you close to his chest. 

You closed your eyes and sighed, slumping against him. It did feel nice to finally hold him like this again. Hearing the way his heart beat rapidly against your ear. 

But..this isn’t right. The fighting..the feeling of abandonment..the hurtful words..it’s not healthy to stay in this cycle. 

You slowly start to pull away. 

No…! No!  You’re bluffing! You promised him you’ll love him forever! His hands refused to let go as you struggled to get out of his hold. 

“Emmet..! Emmet..please let me go..it’s not healthy for the both of us and you’re right..maybe we do need to break up, to clear our heads” 

“I am not…Emmet..not to you! I am Emmy! I am sweetie! Beloved! I am yours! And You are mine! We love each other! You can’t leave me!” 

You finally managed to hold his wrists away from you as his eyes start to well up with tears. It almost made you feel bad but the days of him ignoring you was just getting too old to deal with. 

He didn’t treat you like a girlfriend and now…he doesn’t have to. 

You stepped back and he almost fell over as you took off the matching tynamo keychain and handed it back to him. 

“Tell Ingo and Elesa I’m sorry…I can’t stay” You grab your bag and cup his face, wiping the tears from his face only for it to be futile as more came falling down. 

“I really did love you Emmet..I’m sorry..maybe we’ll see each other again someday okay?” You attempted a smile, Emmet’s cheek resting against your hand.

Emmet stares at the stuffed keychain in his hand. You shouldn’t have apologized. He’s the one who should’ve said sorry!. 

He felt your hand leave him and looked up to stop you but all he saw was your Braviary already taking flight. 

A yell of your name was all you heard before the small camp disappeared from your view. 

Ingo comes back from the pokemon center with Elesa to find Emmet alone and sobbing against a tree. Curled up with the stuffed tynamo in his hold as he wails into his hands. 

                                                            ---

He’s a subway boss now as he flips the old and worn keychain in between his fingers. A desk drawer that was usually locked, opened with a key hanging from the lock.  

Metro the joltik woke up to chew on some spare batteries as Emmet thumbed the worn fabric with his gloved hands. The stitching was loose, one of the eyes was missing and the chain itself broke some time ago.

Him and Ingo never finished their adventure as he was too distraught to continue, Ingo refuses to go without him while Elesa continued but decided she didn’t need to beat the Elite Four.  That wasn’t her goal anyway. 

Emmet has very little regrets in his life but the big thing that haunts him is that he managed to let you go without a fight. He never fell in love after you. No matter what he does or how many dates he goes on, he can never replace you. He just doesn’t have the interest. 

He can never hate you either for his failed relationships. He did try verrry hard to be a good boyfriend to his exes but…there was always something missing. 

Silver eyes scanned the cameras again and paused, seeing a familiar face in one of the lines to board the trains. 

Him and Ingo never really saw you again. Ingo was the one who found news of you. You took on the Sinnoh league and managed to beat Cynthia making you the new champion. 

At first he couldn’t believe it. You left Unova? You left him? Completely? He tried to call at least to congratulate you but was only sent to a disconnected line. Of course. Different regions..different lines..

But now.

You’re here! You’re older now but he recognizes you! It has to be you! He grabbed the keychain and ran out of the office. 

He can catch up to you this time! He can apologize! He can take you on dates and tell you how much he loves you! He never stopped loving you! 

The crowd parted as he tried to be as polite as possible in trying not to run over anyone in his way. 

He’s stronger now! He’s not a gym leader but he’s a subway boss! Gear Station is his domain! 

Him and Ingo improved the train lines! The Battle Subway! Made Nimbasa a battle central on the map! He’s proud of you! He’s proud of what you achieved! He just hopes you’re proud of the man he has become. 

Emmet can feel tears prick the edges of his eyes as he stops at platform 4, searching through the rush hour crowds for you. 

There! The train line he saw you in! 

Wait..no..why are the doors closing? He can hear Ingo’s pre-recorded announcement in the speakers. The train is leaving? 

No! Stop! 

“S-..s-stop…!” Damn this stutter! Emmet rushed just as the train closed its doors.. He can see you! You’re so close! He can make an emergency stop! 

The train started to pull away from the station. 

Emmet saw the back of your head turn. 

Before you both managed to make eye contact, the train went through the tunnel, heading straight to Mistralton City Airport..and away from him. 

Emmet feels his soul get crushed all over again. 

Suddenly, Emmet is 15 years old again. Standing there on the platform alone and in his overalls and cap. He’s never felt so small. 

The tynamo keychain was getting crushed in his grip as he watched the train go further and further away from him. 

Along with you in it. 

Alternate Ending: 

A can of lemonade popped out of the vending machine just as your train left the station. 

You opened the can of lemonade and took a sip, watching a madman running after it before missing the train by a few seconds. 

Poor guy…did he miss his train? You took a peek at your watch, thankful that you decided to go earlier than your scheduled flight. Cynthia has asked you to deliver some important documents to the city’s muse-

“H-hey..are you okay?” You flinched as the man in white stopped his fast paced muttering and turned quickly to face you. 

He was taller than you remembered. A wet sob heaved out of his mouth before his arms engulfed you in a death-like grip. 

The way his lips wobbled in an anguished frown makes him look like a certain twin from your childhood…but you were always good at telling them apart. You held him just as tight as you let him cry over your shoulder. 

“Emmy…”

Drew this thinking of how Arven would’ve reacted when Mabostiff was injured by the pkmn in area zero; this was supposed to be a part of a small series of drawings… but who knows if I’ll ever touch the rest of ‘em again. 😀

Pokemon Violet spoilers!

The ending was crazy....

so i made this. Suprisingly, there isn't any art of him hurt. considering that his whole deal is that he died a terrible death......

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.

Daddy's little "Monster" Part 2/?

(Tw: Mentions of bad past, gore, weapon)

(Kaida's POV)

        Papa Raihan and I were in a new Place called Wyndon, buying me comfy clothes. I saw a cosy bow and ran towards it. "Kaida, you find something you like?" Makua asked, to which i nodded, showing him the bow. "Awe! it's your colour too dear" he said, lifting me up onto his shoulders as we went to check out. The workers knew i was a hybrid and made me feel as comfortable as i could be. After Papa payed and left the mall, he let me off his shoulders and I held his hand. "Wanna get changed into your new clothes? or do you want to meet my friends?" He asked, kneeling to my level. "C-change" I said, snuggling into his arms. He chuckled and took me to his stadium.

(Raihan's POV)

        I walked with Kaida back to the stadium to get dressed up in the new clothes i bought with them. "Makua, Who are your friends? Are they mean, or kind?" Their shy voice asked, a bit of worry in their voice. "Kaida, they're really sweet, some of them can be quiet but otherwise they will adore you" I replied, now opening the stadium's doors. "Go get dressed hon, you can keep the hoodie." I said, letting their hand go. After five minutes, they returned wearing the bow around their neck, a white sweatshirt, my hoodie, light blue jeans, black socks, and white tennis shoes. "I'm back, Makua" They exclaimed, hugging my leg. I was texting the gym leaders to meet in Turffield stadium along with leon, my dad Ryuko, Avery and Klara, hop, victor, and gloria when i looked down and saw their adorable face. "My friends will absolutely adore you, you are way too cute" I said, holding them in my arms(Note: Kaida's short for an Eleven year old). "Yay! Where are we gonna see them?" They asked, looking into my eyes. "Turffield, it's not far in flying taxi, i already called one" i said, ruffling their hair. "W-wheres turffield?" They asked, scared. "Don't worry, its not near your old fathers house, you'll be safe." I replied, now walking towards the flying taxi.

(Kaida's POV)

        Makua and I landed in yet another new place called Turffield, where there was a gym at the bottom of the hill. we both walked down and near the gym, walking in. "Hey guys!" Makua said, waving at the many people. "Awe, that child is just precious!" A man with pink hair and a farm hat said, crouching to meet my level. "Hi cute thing! My name's milo, im the gym leader here"the man said, making me comfortable. "H-hello....m-mr. Milo" I stuttered, letting him touch my feathers(Another note: Kaida lets people they are comfortable with touch her wings, but while one of their wings are in recovery, its mainly the right wing). "Kaida's never much of a talker when meeting new people, wow milo!" makua said, Milo smiling. "well i've rescued an injured articuno before, hence why its Bede's ace for his team" He said, staring at an older man who was dressed in a towel, a soft brown turtleneck, black jeans, and tennis shoes. The man came over, sat on his knees, fluffing my hair. "My name's kabu, child. You're perfect for a cute eleven year old." He said, hugging me. "Careful kabu, they were hurt at their old home...that's how i found them in the wild area" makua said, kabu letting me go. "May I ask how it happened, if it's not too personal is all dear" The male asked, looking into my eyes. "H-his name was Colress, i was born like this from makuahine's makuahine, which means mom's mom, my grandma. She was a hybrid of an articuno like me, and he killed mama in front of me, he stabbed my wing where there are bandages, i ran away after that, that's how makua found me" I said, hugging milo and kabu, who were shocked, along with the others, even makua. "H-he always called me a monster, even though i was born this way..." I added, now crying. "Shhh...Kaida, its ok!" I heard makua say, hugging me tight. "Rai's right, dear. Your perfect in your own way, no one can say otherwise, not even that idiot named Colress, we all know him alright, and he's not fit to be your father, raihan on the other hand, he's an amazing person" someone with a female voice said, sitting on her knees. another male came next to her, sitting on the soft grass. "My mom's right, Rai is a perfect fit for a father, not Colress" The person said, ruffling my hair. "Are you more calm now sweetie?" Papa said, looking into my tear stained eyes. "Mhm..." i nodded my head, now looking at the two new people. "Awe! Raihan shes so adorable!" the female said, snuggling me. "Mom be careful! their wing is injured" her son said, trying to grab me.

(Raihan POV)

        Gordie and Melony were fighting to hold kaida and i was laughing along with Milo. "Gordie! Melony! Stop fighting over them, let them choose who they want to see" Milo exclaimed as Kaida covered their ears. "Thank you. Kaida, choose between ms melony and mr gordie ok?" I said, Kaida looking at the two. "They seem more focused on Gordie, that's just so cute" Kabu said as Kaida crawled to Gordie, staring into his sapphire eyes. "We have the same eyes!" They said, giggling. "We do indeed, Kaida, my name is Gordie." He said, holding Kaida like they are his child. "Gordie they may be a bit drowsy, so if you feel them lay against you, let them, they haven't slept in a while i guarantee" I said, rubbing Kaida's back. "Ok raihan, can we let our ace pokemon out? I wanna see if they have a pokemon, if not, i've seen galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres flying around as of lately, as if they're protecting Kaida" Gordie requested, to which i nodded. Milo's Eldegoss, Nessa's Drednaw, Kabu's Centiskorch, Opal's Alcremie, Bea's Machamp, Allister's Gengar, Melony's Lapras, Gordie's Coalossal, Piers's Obstagoon, my Duraludon, Leon's charizard, Avery's Galarian Slowking, and Klara's slowbro all came out, but no pokemon for Kaida. "Which one does Kaida like Raihan? So i can catch it" Gordie asked, grabbing a master ball. "Kaida? Which of the three birds do you like?" I whispered, they looked at me with a sleepy look. "M-Moltres is nice...B-but zapdos too...I can't decide between those two..."They whispered back, snuggling closer to gordie as they drifted off. "Well they like both moltres and zapdos, i believe i have extra master balls, here, take this one, that way you can get both" I repeated to gordie. He nodded, gently put Kaida in my arms, and walked to the wild area. "I think they're sleeping now." Piers said, sitting in front of me. "Yea, they may need this nap, i haven't seen them sleep since...well, ever!" Hop said. Kaida and hop had a big friendship when growing up was all i knew, he helped her throughout her old life in galar and alola, as he was there researching about different forms of pokemon. "It's been a while since ive seen them all cozy in soft clothes! that bow on their neck is from wooloo wool" He said, sitting next to milo and Piers. "Can i hold Kaida?" Piers asked, to which i nodded and handed them over.

You’re Perfect

When Rika came home one night, all she saw was a bottle of wine on the counter, the television still on and her girlfriend’s Pokémon near the bedroom door.

“Garchomp…?”

Tears ran down her cheeks and Rika walked inside to hear sobs, in the corner of the room. Kayleigh was in her favourite Garchomp hoodie, but she was a mess. Her eyes were red, her cheeks had dried up tears on them and tears just kept falling. Rika knelt down.

“Sweetheart? What’s wrong?”

Kayleigh looked up and asked, “Why?” “What?”, she asked. “Why are you still here with me…? Look at me. I’m a mess”. Rika cupped her cheek and she leaned into her touch before saying, “You could have anyone else… but you chose me. Why?” “I can’t… put it into words. But, all I can say is, that when I saw you… I fell in love with you immediately”, Rika told her, smiling.

“Y-You did…?”

“That smile of yours… was the most beautiful thing, I had ever seen. And… it still is. You are beautiful…”.

Kayleigh then dove into her arms and cried. Rika held her close and tears ran down her cheeks too. “I know you might not see it… but I do. Every single day… and your Pokémon see how beautiful your personality is. I have met a lot of people, but none of ‘em are like you. You’re special. So fucking special… especially to me”.

After Kayleigh calmed down, she looked at Rika, who was smiling through her tears. “I love ya”. “I love you”.
