My headcanons of Director Clavell back in the days :)
He was a very introverted, bookworm teen who loved to observe Pokemons alone. Thanks to this, he was able to stack a lot of knowledge about Pokemons, way more than what his peers usually do.
鈫揟his pic was inspired by this!
_______________________________
To help Clavell fix the shy nature, his parents sent him to Galar region to study abroad, which actually backfired. With no one to talk to and picked on because he was a shy teen, Clavell felt bitterly lonely. (This is why Clavell is so dedicated with students, as he knows each of them have their stories and pain.)
That's when he met Kabu. As they're both from another region with not many people to talk to, they became close quickly. Plus, they shared a common ground of love for Pokemons, they always meet up to discuss what they found out and more. They explored Wild Area together and Kabu always guarded Clavell from the bullies.
Even when Kabu was feeling low due to his consecutive loss in the Gym, Clavell cheered him on.
When it was the day to depart, Kabu gave Clavell a very special parting gift: Sinistea. As you know in the game, he still cherishes him!
Even after Clavell went back to Paldea, they remained a very good friends. They cannot see each other as often as before with their careers, but they update anything exciting happening in their regions through the letters.

Updraft, Part 2
PART 1
鈿狅笍Heads up:
-Everything is headcanon weaved on to canon
-It's a story featuring Endeavor and Inasa Yoarashi from BNHA
The morning sunlight tapped me awake. My body weighed down like an anchor and my head felt like it's been hazed. I wished the morning just wouldn't come, but again, like always, the sun rose. There wasn't a hint of energy in me to push on for another day to fight off the villains... when no one appreciated it.聽
I've lost count of how long it's been since Dabi... No, Touya reappeared after all those years I thought he died. It was supposed to be the most touching day for any parents who lost their child, but due to my sins, it turned into the worst nightmare for myself, my family, and the whole of society. My sins brought ruins to the heroes. With growing disbelief towards heroes due to my acts, a good hero named Death Arms made retirement, pouring gasoline into the collapse. I received the undeserving title of No. 1 hero so pathetically, and I am sure living up to it. Going down in flames with the title hero I so desperately wanted to be. My flame not only burned the hooded Nomu but the whole order too.
I wanted to give everything up and run away, but if the No. 1 hero does, the hero society will get torn apart. I know that villains are the ones waiting for that the most so I couldn't do that either. The weight of the title crushed me, and I was so ashamed for being so oblivious to what All Might was fighting with on his shoulder. And with the goal of becoming the No. 1 hero vanishing in front of my eyes, I was like a boat without wind on its sail, just floating aimlessly on the ocean. The hideous emptiness and disillusionment devoured me. I completely lost what I've been reaching for. I reached the peek soaking my hands in others' tears, but it was an empty, freezing peek of Everest with nothing around but shackles of the highest mockery. Was it worth all that? Straying my family, pushing Touya and my wife to breaking point, destroying the hero society that I never even constructed, and... There was no one to complain either, as I brought this upon myself with reeking greed. In fact, I was disgusted at myself, already feeling worn out, when there are still light years ahead to repent all I did.聽
I sighed dragged myself out of the bedding, changed and walked out. The wall was covered with flyers and graffiti cursing me as a disgrace of heroes. I read them briefly and passed by as there are villains to stop. I knew what was on there but I couldn't ignore it, as they're all that I have to swallow for what I did in the past. It was a tough pill, but who can complain?
"You okay there, No. 1?" the bird man's voice sounded exceptionally disturbing today. What the heck is the meaning of that question anyways? He was right there, at the sight, the grand ballroom where I got stoned by the media. He knows Touya returned in the worst form possible. Does he expect me to be fine after that? I looked at him for a brief moment and pushed on to patrol.
"No need to be a meanie who ignores-" he chuckled as he trailed me.
"I never asked for a backup." I snapped, feeling irritated as if his feathers are tickling my nose.聽
"I hate to admit but we're cornered," Hawks sighed.聽
"We need to gather not scatter especially at times like this."
I said nothing as he was right, but it didn't mean it annoyed me less. I was already worn out to rock bottom and now I have to pretend I'm alright all while doing my job. It was... too much to ask.聽
"I'm still rooting for you, No. 1. No matter what they say."
His words really got to my nerves this time and a little flame glared on my scar. No offense, but his smug grin makes his intention questionable all the time. I almost grabbed him and shoot him flying with my flame just to be alone. Ironic, because I was suffering under torturing loneliness but still wanted time to myself.聽
It was after we finished the daily patrol that I got hit by an empty can. There they were again, the protestors who yell for the disappearance of fake heroes.聽
"Don't let it get to you." Hawks closed his eyes turning away from the crowd.聽
The moments like this are when I hate being a human being. I am the one at fault yet my heart still screams for help. No matter how much time I scold myself that there is so much I need to do to make it right again and that I shouldn't run away, my heart was already giving out. Feeble. So feeble. When I was a monster to my family, I didn't even feel a thing, but now I'm brimming with emotions. The double side of mine made me feel nauseous. I hate myself. I despise myself so much...
"STOP!!"
That's when I heard a voice that nearly tore my ears, followed by a powerful gale that blew all the garbage they'd been tossing away.聽
"Everyone, just STOP PLEASE!"
It was the boy from Shiketsu, who took the redemption course for Provisional Hero License with Shoto. I didn't give much thought to him apart from how much blood-coated he was as he told me he'll support me. Never I've imagined he would barge in between the crowd and me to shield me.聽
"It's none of your business, boy! Get lost!" One of the protestors yelled.
'Yes, it doesn't concern you,' I thought too.
'Just go your merry way and everything will be fine.'聽
"No! Please, stop it! I won't let you hurt him!"聽
"Isn't that a Shiketsu hat? Means you're a hero trainee, so why are you guarding that disgusting fake hero!"聽
"HE聽IS聽A HERO TO ME!!"
Not sure if it is because of how loud his voice was, but my heart throbbed at the words. Hero? Me?
"The fight he had against the hooded Nomu was the display of true hero... Risking their lives and pushing their limits to overcome evil to save the day! He has it, the fire of a hero in his heart! Even now, he is STILL HERE as a hero after facing the most embarrassing flaw of his! The majority of people try every means to run away from their faults as that's zillion times easier! But he is here. Here to FACE IT! That's the bravest thing I've ever seen someone do! I know it is hard to forgive, so I won't even ask you to do that! But I'll say this because I lingered hating someone without trying to know about them for so long and realized how stupid it was! AT LEAST DON'T DISCOURAGE SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO REDEEM! These things aren't like flipping your hand, so PLEASE GIVE HIM THE TIME HE NEEDS!"
the boy bowed to the crowd in place of me. The crowd fell silent and soon scattered grumbling.
I felt like my breath stopped for his whole speech.聽
No. You don't deserve it. You don't deserve someone standing on your ground. You're a fake hero. A foul person...
That's what my head said, but my heart felt indescribable consolation.聽
"Are you okay, Endeavor??" the boy turned to me and asked.
"...You shouldn't have. Why did you do that?" there I was again, not being honest when I was grateful to be speechless.
The boy quietly stared at me, as if he is seeing through me. He soon beamed ear to ear.
"Remember I said I will be rooting for you? I meant it! And I'll support you in every way!"
His smile was so bright that it stung. My heart felt like it was tearing apart into the smallest bits but with that, maybe not so much anymore. It's been a while since I've seen any child of his age smile at me. Forget my kids, but I was so arrogant to push away any child fans that a kid's smile is a fantasy.聽
His ragged Shiketsu hat was also a pain in my heart. I know it's a school rule in Shiketsu to always wear the uniform hat along with the hero costume, meaning he also was facing a tough time guarding the city. When it was my fault that students had to go to the front line of defense, he still wore that face on me.聽
"Thank you." was probably all I could say.聽
"No problem!" he replied even louder.聽
"Oh, oh!! Hold up!" the boy seemed to have remembered something and started digging into his school bag. He soon pulled out what seem to be goggles.聽
Can I have your...
Autograph?!
My heart sank. Why did I not remember him when he was so loud? How is he wearing that face to me and say those words when I stomped on his heart with my stupidity and haughtiness?聽
"See? It isn't so bad to have fans." Hawks chuckled.
"And why not? Even if it doesn't mean a complete repenting yet, having somebody to recognize and cheer you can do wonders."
I hate it when he talks senses. I really do. But today, I couldn't deny it. I'll just let him take the win. Now I really can't stop the work of atonement, seeing that innocent boy who wholeheartedly believes I would. I quietly continued the patrol as the bird man followed me.
