Everyone's talking about how Giacomo is Grimsley's cousin or really wanted to be like him, yall sleeping on the fact Grimsley is an old fart with grey hair and definitely old enough to have a son
Update; upon seeing the new concept art im no long on this theory boat I have jumped ship to Larry BAHA

Hello there! I'm 🎉 anon
May I request a platonic (with a hint of parental) of Grimsley who's a mentor for a child/preteen reader (around 11-12 y/o)
Reader got this dark aesthetic (black cap, turtleneck, black trench coat, and boots) that aspires to be a Dark type Elite Four, but despite all that they're a little mischievous and off-the-wall kid.
They really like spending their time with Grimsley (even to the point they'd wait in front of his casino) and Grimsley finds them adorable and lowkey treats them like a kid he never has
Like, they'd battle, train, and then hang out like showing card tricks.
(I love found family so much-)
A/N: yaaay my first emoji anon :). I’ll be honest I don’t know that much about Grimsley so I’m just going off what I got when I looked him up, sorry if it’s not accurate. Also the meds I’m on for getting my wisdom teeth out make me kinda loopy so I’m not sure how good my writing will come out.
Grimsley With a Preteen Apprentice
- Having Grimsley as a mentor can be a 50/50 sometimes
- Grimsley generally has a good state of mind when it comes to battling
- He only ever sees a positive to a battle, win or loose
- If you ever loose a battle, he’s there to assure you that this is only good for you
- He uses this as an opportunity for you to learn and grow as a trainer, after all you can’t get better if you never see your mistakes
- He’s supportive in your dreams and also in the way you dress
- You do look the part for the job you want, and he admires that
- He thinks your passion is amazing and continues to support it, although he doesn’t let you get ahead of yourself
- With Grimsley as a mentor, you’ll never be dragged down by your losses
- After a while you hardly ever find yourself upset about a loss
- From now on you’ll only see this as a chance to grow
- Unfortunately, Grimsley did have to step down from his position as an elite four member to the gambling addiction he developed
- But this doesn’t mean he’s irresponsible or becomes a worse mentor
- In fact he’s now always making sure that that you’re being responsible and keeping yourself in check
- He wants to make sure that you don’t suffer the same way he did
- After working with you, he’s found that he’s become attached to you, and he doesn’t want you to go down the same path he did
- He always stresses the importance of keeping yourself regulated
- Whole he has made some mistakes in his life, he doesn’t want the same to happen to you
- He’s come to see you as his child, no matter what your situation with your parents is
- He really is a great mentor and wants to keep you safe, and he can and will do everything in his power to keep you that way
I hope I got his character right, I never played ultra sun/moon or black/white 2 so I never actually played against him. I currently have a heat pack wrapped around my face and I look like Amanda in the reverse bear trap from the first saw movie I’m not even kidding lol. Ty for reading and have a nice day <3
