Give and Take

Oleana x Fem! Reader

After a long day of work, Oleana looks forward to stumbling into bed with you, who is all too happy to help her unwind. All it takes is some good ol’ TLC to help her forget about the day and put off thinking about tomorrow.

Oleana loves her job. She worked hard when researching dynamax, enough to get the chairman's attention, and she’d be damned if she let him down. But even a workaholic of her nature gets tired. Even she feels the desire to lay down in bed and never get back up, free to revel in the warmth and softness of one of Arceus’s finest creations. 

Of course, it helped that you were waiting there, too. Given how much she loves her work, Oleana stays at work until the moon is high in the sky. Everyday she stumbles home, only to be greeted by you, all happy and sleepy. Your soft smile never fails to melt her heart.

The minute she is able to leave, she gathers her things and bolts (not before saying goodbye to the chairman and ensuring he will get home safely, obviously). She doesn’t even bother calling a taxi to get her home. She has no desire to wait, even if she would technically get home faster. 

Her quick strides slow down as she approaches your shared humble apartment. She’s desperate to see you, to unwind, but she would hate to accidentally wake you up. She cracks the door open, carefully stepping inside and removing her shoes. She doesn’t get far before you walk up to the door, clad in pajamas, to greet her.

“Welcome home!” Your tone is caked in sleep. Like most nights, you were tottering on the verge of sleep when she arrived home. But Oleana didn’t care. She was just happy to see you there at all.

“Mmmhm…” She, similarly, was all too tired, to the point that her attempted ‘Welcome home’ came out as a garbled mess. It was all you needed to know how long her day was. She sheds her lab coat before grabbing your hand and dragging you off to bed, bringing you both crashing down onto the soft mattress.

Oleana holds you close, laying your head onto her chest while stroking a hand through your hair. Her nails scratch over your scalp in the best way possible. But, as much as you loved her embrace and attention, you pulled away from her, much to her protest.

She, begrudgingly, opens her eyes to see you sitting over her, brush in hand, smile still painted on your face. She’ll never understand how you can maintain such a cheerful expression all the time. Slowly, she repositions herself so her head lies in your lap, free to close her eyes again.

Brush in hand, you run it through her sea of blonde hair, silky strands parting like swaying tides, careful to avoid her dangly earrings. While busy, Oleana takes good care of herself, and so her hair is always free from tangles and knots, and it always smells so wonderfully of freshly cut roses, even if it does remind you of a certain someone. You love to tease her over her love for the chairman, and yet you're somewhat afraid that, if asked to choose between you and him, she would choose the former.

She sighs in content. She remains stoic, but she’s relaxed. Happy. In her lane. Her zone, even. The stress and anxiety of the day melts away. Her shoulders relax now that they don’t have to carry the entirety of Macro Cosmos. Her mind can go blank, thinking only of you, only of the moment, of your hands in her hair.

She’ll commit your warmth to memory, so she can recall it tomorrow, to keep her going through the day, to have something to look forward to as her clocking out time approaches. She focuses on the moment because, if she doesn’t, she’ll get lost thinking about tomorrow, about the struggles and hardships and the stress and everything that comes along with being a vice-president. And she loves her job, but she’s only human.

But that doesn’t matter, not right now. It doesn’t matter that she’ll have to goad chairman Rose away from a rampant sea of fans. It doesn’t matter that Champion Leon will inevitably be late for an important exhibition match. And it doesn’t matter that she’ll have to deal with near-useless Marco Cosmos employees who are completely hopeless when it comes to getting jobs done.

But all good things must come to an end. Eventually, she’ll have to break away from your soft hands, delicately caring for her hair, to get ready for bed. She’ll remove her makeup and earrings, and change into comfier clothes, and get cleaned up. She’ll let her pokemon out and give them enough attention before sinking back into bed, into your side. Maybe she’ll get a snack while she’s at it, preferably with you, talking about your day if you were up to it.

But for right now, she’ll simply bask in your caring hands, allow you to spoil her in your love in the same way she loves to do to you. Oleana has changed immensely, coming far from where she’s started, but, deep down, she is still hopeless. Yet, for whatever reason, you choose to disregard that fact. You choose to shower her in love and praise even with her faults. And that alone is enough to get her through the stress of the day. 

“Oleana, you’ve got to stay awake…” She cracks her eyes open, content this time. “You’ve got to get up, dear.”

“Understood, I will not keep you waiting for long.“ She stumbles a bit to stand up, but quickly reverts to her graceful posture. Although, she falters slightly when planting her feet on the ground, not quite used to walking around without her heels. 

Her professional and stoic nature waits for no one, not even you. But her workaholic nature, her devotion to her career, is an innate part of herself. It is why you love her. And for that alone, she’ll forever love you.

[antirepurp]

guess what else sucks? sinnoh pal park having that time limitation where you can only transfer 6 pokemon (per game?) per day and changing your cartridge into a different ds puts you in gay baby jail for the next 24 hours

ZERAORAS YOUR MEME SQUAD

[ironized]

I beat Pokemon Violet! This is the first Pokemon game I've played all the way to the end since Crystal, I had a lot of fun with it. Here is my squad of cuties, perfect in every way except for beating Poppy of the Elite Four. Shoutout to the Pyroar I grinded 30 levels just to get past her, you're the real champ.

are they really pointing at misty and ash - ahem - this is beautiful, the entire episode threw me by surprise that i quickly went to the tag to see it for myself and i just - thank you <3. i know for a fact brock may end up tagging along, cause the last time i checked they're going to be making a possible separate series??? for ash, misty and brock together; didn't know when but this is hinting at it?? i don't know but yeah, it's also odd how it ends making it apparent that they both end up together on the journey part now for the future of them both idk but it would be lovely to see it happen how they are.

MISTY TAGS ALONG WITH ASH ONCE AGAIN

someone hacked the dev portal for gamefreak employees (an employee clicked a phishing link as the access point, like his real name and info was leaked) and released 1 terabyte of game data dating back to gens 3-6, and some info abt gen 10 and switch 2; info includes HGSS and bw source code, technical information for many games (screenshots of xy WIP specifically and gamefreaks original gen3 map editor), a metric fuckton of beta sprites and artwork, pokemon universe creation lore, unused music, character sheets, the original proposal for gen3, and lots of stuff that’s still forthcoming (its estimated to take perhaps several days to fully examine and organize the info that’s been released). CentroLeaks on Twitter and the /pokeleaks subreddit are prime places to get leaks as it’s coming out, but everything should be trickling it’s way here eventually

thank you so much for explaining! sucks for the employee, hope everything goes okay with them— again, thank you!

Thank you Gamefreak for the biggest fuck you to all speculators. No one in their wildest dreams could have imagined we'd get to be in Kalos again so soon. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would finally get to see Pokémon Z.
