vulgar displays of affection | raihan
Tumblr media
❥ — PAIRING raihan x gn! reader
❥ — SUMMARY raihan can't help himself from gushing about you (even when he's not supposed to)
Tumblr media
"Raihan! I thought we agreed that your relationship would be kept secret!"
The grating voice of Raihan's manager filled your ears as soon as you entered the office with your boyfriend. He had posted a photo of you both with a heart in the caption the night prior and by the time morning rolled around the photo reached the press. People had speculated your relationship as being more than just friends for months, there wasn't much of a reason to keep it a secret anymore.
"I thought you'd be more responsible than this, quite frankly!" the frown etched onto the woman's face was enough to have you both sat in silence, pretending to look guilty.
Raihan didn't think he'd done anything wrong, why should he have to hide his relationship? So a bunch of 14 year old girls could pretend they were his girlfriend or vehemently ship him with Leon.
"I'm sorry for being irresponsible but I don't want our relationship to be a secret."
There's a second of silence before Raihan speaks again.
"And I think that photo is really cute."
"Well, if that's the case then you need to announce it properly, not in whatever way that was," his manager scoffs, turning her nose up as she watches Raihan pull his phone out.
He goes straight onto his instagram account and starts formulating a new post before turning towards you and holding his phone out, "I want you to pick the photo, but choose one where it's obvious we're dating".
He watches intently as you scroll through his camera roll which consists almost entirely of photos of you, you and him or his pokemon. You couldn't help your lips from tugging into a smile when you spot a candid he'd gotten of you feeding your partner pokemon, who had their eyes closed happily.
When you reach the end of his camera roll, you scroll back up and find a selfie he'd taken while you kissing his cheek, a lazy smile on his face.
"I like this one," you show him the photo and he nods before taking the phone back in his hands.
He examines the photo before nodding and beginning to type out a caption, "do you want to be tagged?"
"Yeah, sure," you shrug, shifting in your seat so you can lean your head against Raihan's shoulder, "I think I look nice in that photo"
"You always look perfect to me," he mumbles, tilting his head to rest his cheek against the crown of your hair, "I'm so lucky."
"That's enough of a display from you two, thanks!" Raihan's manager scoffs before clapping her hands together lightly and looking in your direction, "If you choose to be tagged then you might get an influx of hate messages from fans. I know you've already got a social media presence from... whatever you do, but it still applies."
"That's fine, I get messages from people that hate the fact we're friends so," you shrug without finishing your sentence before returning your attention onto the phone in your boyfriend's hands. He's focused on adding more photos of you both although the next photo he adds is solely of you while on an arcade date, having just won him the largest stuffed toy you could find. In the photo you're holding the bear out to him, motion blur almost obscuring your face as you laugh.
He posts the photos on instagram and within a minute you have new people following you and leaving comments across your account. There's a surprising lack of hate sent to you - a few people in Raihan's comments even jokes about you being totally out of his league.
You leave the office hand in hand and with a weight off your shoulder.

I gave failed. I couldn't resist. Alexis x Leon "mini" fic. Obviously takes place after TBWS. And of course spoilers for that as well.
Twisting one of his dreads in-between his finger, Alexis stated down at his phone frowning. He stares at the last text message they sent each other: heart emojis. Admittedly when Alexis first sent the emoji it was by accident. He mentally kicked himself for the dang thing and wished nothing more to crawl into a whole- 'we just started dating, it's far to earlier to be sending heart emojis!' he told himself. Because heart emojis equal I love you and they literally just started dating, I love you'd is such a big thing for that, bit to mention he didn't know whether or not Leon would be comfortable with that- oh wait he sent an heart emoji back. Totally didn't make his heart flutter and explode( wait, right, no more hiding emotions. It totally did).
That was the last text the sent each other. Well. Okay maybe not the last text, which brings the current problem. Leon hasn't been answering his texts. He hasn't been answering anyone's texts. Or phone calls! It's been almost a week now and it's been radio silence from him. Naturally everyone is worried- knowing Leon, he's probably busying himself with work. He is the new chairman, after all. But still. It's getting worrisome.
Alexis supposed this is karma. He's done the same for two years and after what happened during the gym challenge, he wouldn't be surprised if this was Leon's way of getting back at him. Why wouldn't he? He's been nothing but a pain-
" Yo," Elliot's voice snaps him out of his thoughts with a jump. He looks up to see Elliot, still on her pajamas, holding two boils in her hand. She brings one down to his level and Alexis slowly takes it....Cereal?
" Eli it's-" he checks his phone, " 12 pm, breakfast past".
" Glad you noticed, "Elliot says as she slowly sitting next to him on the couch," You came downstairs and went straight to the couch. Didn't even eat breakfast. So I'm giving you some.... or brunch or whatever old ladies call them," Alexis snorts at that, taking a spoonful of cereal, glancing at his sisters bowl. He almost choked.
" Wha- how come you get a hot bowl of soup?!" He exclaims, while Elliot shrugs.
" Because I already have breakfast, and now I'm eating lunch. Besides,you don't have to worry. Cereal is technically soup-"
" Don't even start," Alexis glares and his sister who bites in a laugh. Alexis looks at the bowl again, specifically Elliot's hands. Judging from the smoke coming out of the bowl,the soup must be pretty hot. How is she- oh right Reshiram.
" And careful with the heat Eli," Alexis warns and he can see the eyeroll.
" I know,"
" I'm serious. Just because your resistant to fire and heat doesn't mean it can't hurt you. Especially if-"
" Okay, okay I get it,mom," she playfully shoves Alexis to the side, no real annoyance and malice in her voice. Alexis giggles, making sure not to spill his cereal.
" But if we're on the topic of being a worrying parent-" Elliot points to the Alexis' phone, " You've been starring at that all day. And your no Raihan, so what's up?"
Leave it to Eli to be blunt about the situation. She wasn't always like that though. Who's fault was that?
" Ah, well...." Alexis looks down at his phone again, hoping for it to suddenly flash and a message from Leon shows up. But it doesn't, " Leon hasn't been answering my messages...and I'm worried," Elliot hums with the spoon in her mouth, taking it out of her mouth and waving it around.
" Yeah Raihan told be about that. He says something about him, Piers and Sonia going to his window on his g-max Duraludon and force him out the tower," she chuckles at the thought. Alexis doesn't chuckle back, biting his lowe lip in worry.
" I just- he's already been through so much. Overworking and overachieving ever since he was a kid! I thought he would know it's okay to take breaks after the Darkest Day but he's just. Locked himself into a tower again. I hardly see him now, and when I do he looks tired. Happier, but still tired,"
" Hm, yeah. From what the kids told me, I wouldn't be surprised. He got.... possessed, Alexis. I don't think someone's going to be alright after that,"
Alexis shutters, pushing the images the kids told them out of his head. He doesn't want to think about that right now.
" But that's not all of your worries, is it?" Alexis deflates. Of course.
" It's stupid," Elliot raises a brow. He sighs, seeing she's not going to relent not anymore and he takes a breathe.
" I know that Leon isn't the type of person to do this and that we've already talked about everything that happened during the gym challenge, but I can't help that this is his way of telling me off?" He pauses, waiting for Elliot to speak. She simply stays quiet, looking at her brother intently. So he continues.
" A-and I know, I know he's not like that but what if....what if he's regretting this? What if he's realizing that is getting together was a mistake? That I'm not the person he should be giving his love to. What if-"
" Okay first of all," Elliot finally cuts him off, " Your right, Leon is not that type of person. Number two, you are 100% deserving of love. This is not an argument, you are,"
" Number 3, i'm glad your realizing how much of a douche you were, but you didn't stay a douche. You stopped, reflected and your trying your absolute best. Not just for me, not just for Leon, but for yourself. Your growing and changing, Alex. Do you really think Alexis at the start of this vacation would have opened his heart to the idea of getting a boyfriend? No! But here you are,"
She puts her spoon into her bowl, and using that free hand she places it firmly on her brothers shoulders. She gives him a determined smile.
" You two are going through a lot right now. Both of you are still healing, but still have your own issues. You're insecure about people accepting you and Leon is shutting himself out of the world. What you both need to do is to talk. I am 100% percent confident that you two will reach a better understanding of you do,"
Alexis considers his sisters words. She is right, she always seems to be. He knows full well that his actions has hurt people, and that he wants to make it up to them. He also knows that no one is entitled to forgive him. But Leon did. But now he's shutting himself out. Leon was there for him, it's time for Alexis to do the same.
" Okay.....but how? He's hardly out of the Battle Tower,"
" Then climb the ranks of the Battle Tower!" Alexis blinks. Twice. Three times for sure.
" What? Eli I-, I just got back into it! And my Pokemon are still new to it all, so something as competitive as the Battle Tower-"
" Then just use your team from home, silly. Give Cleric a call and and they'll send them over! Easy peasy," Huh. He never thought about that.
" I'm still rusty....but I'll try," he gives Elliot a small smile and she cheers.
" Hell yeah! It's gonna be great, I promise. And if that fails, you can always join me and the others on g-max Duraludon!"
" Y-yeah....um," Alexis fidgets a bit, his cereal beyond soggy. He can feel his face heat up, his voice becoming incredibly small, " Should I...wear something....nice?" He asks bashfully. He feels like he's going to explode.
" Alex."
" I'm just wondering!"
" Alex."
" HE WEARS A FANCY SUIT! I JUST WANNA LOOK THE PART!"
" Oh man, your down bad. I'm 100% sure that if you came to the Battle Tower in your pajamas, he would think your an angel on earth. You are his boyfriend, after all,". Alexis feels the heat in his cheeks rise even more. Boyfriend. He's still not used to it.
" But if you wanna look nice, I can give you some of my clothes. Which can always ask for instead of stealing-"
" I have done no such thing,"
" Right. You can borrow some of my clothes and then go to the Battle Tower, climb to the top and BAM! Talk things out with Lee. And if your feeling scandalous,"
"S-scandalous? What-"
" You can give him a kiss on the cheek!"
" ELI!"
Elliot laughs again as Alexis pouts, eating his very soggy cereal.
____
He would be the first one to tell you he didn't except to get this far. He fumbled here and there- of course he did, he hasn't battled properly in forever- but man was it fun. It was so good to use his old team again. Seeing Bloom breakdance as she uses her moves, watching Archie run to pick up speed to give swift attacks, feeling the synergy between him and his pokemon. It felt amazing.
By the time he reached Leon he was almost out of breathe, but with a smile on his face. Kai besides him seems to be happy too, nuzzling her snout in his hands, to which he quickly scratches her chin.
There before them was Leon, turned in such a dramatic fashion.
" Welcome challenger- Alexis?!" He gawks, as Alexis shyly waves at him. Leon stands still for a moment, before breaking into a smile and practically running towards him.
" Alexis! You're here! You battled! You're here!" He beams as he picks Alexis up and spins him around. The heat comes back to Alexis face as he giggles. When Alexis is back on the ground ( though still being held by Leon), Leon looks him up and down. The blush on his face is much more noticeable now.
" Oh wow, you look great! I-I mean you always look great- I mean-" Leon sighs looking up at the clear sky ceiling then back Alexis ( who quite frankly is still processing all of this), and gives him a small smile, his words softer than a Wooloo.
" You look wonderful, dear,"
Okay.
Okay yeah.
That's cool.
Dear.
"Okay," was all Alexis could manage to squeak out. His mind is buzzing between the ' look good good' to the ' always look good' to the little spin they did to ' you look wonderful' to fucking dear. Arceus give him strength.
" And you managed to battle your way to the top! I told you you could do it Alex. Your amazing, see?"
... Arceus, this man just won't let him process-
" Okay," he squeaks again, this time shuffling a bit closer to Leon as a means to hide. It won't work, he knows it won't work, but he can try.
" Did you come to battle me?" He says sweetly. That was when Alexis remembered his mission. He stores all the compliments into the back of his mind for now, and steps back from Leon, his face serious.
" U-um. Actually I just came here to talk. But we can do that too, if you want."
Leon's eyes widen for a second, before returning to normal, tilting his head.
" Talk?"
" Yeah you've....you haven't been answering any of my calls or texts. Anyone's for that matter! Hop and Naomi have been worried! We're all worried Lee,"
Leon doesn't respond, his eyes flicker in trying to come up with a response.
" I'm fine, Alex. You don't have to worry," Alexis' heart sinks.
He steps away from Leon's hold, hugging himself. He's beginning to wonder if this was what Elliot felt whenever he told her not to worry.
" Please don't lie to me," he says sorrowfully. Taking a good look at Leon, it's all to clear. He looks tired. There's clear bags under his eyes, his hair looks disleveled and he looks as if he hasn't eaten properly in days. It's all too familiar.
" Your not fine, Leon. Look at you! When was the last time you've slept well? Eaten well? I understand that being Chairman is new set of responsibility, but you need to rest! You have to tell us what's going on! Please!"
Leon doesn't respond. He looks away, down at the floor then up at the sky. Alexis can see the distress in his eyes. Alexis braces himself.
" Not.....not here. Not in the Tower," he says slowly, " We can talk. I....I owe you all that but. Not here, please,"
Alexis nods slowly, taking steps back to Leon. He has to go on his toes to cup his face in his hands to which Leon graciously holds.
" Are you mad at me?" Leon whispers. Alexis shrugs.
" A smidge. I'm more worried than anything....are you mad at me?" Leon shakes his head.
" No....no! Alex why would I be mad at you?" Ah. He wasn't prepared for this part.
" Not here," Alexis mimics. He genuinely doesn't know how to start that whole conversation, " But we'll talk,". Leon gives him an unsure nod, leaning away from his touch.
" We should- I guess we should go, heh?" Alexis nods back,taking Leon's hand into his own.
" Mhm. Let's." He guides Leon out of the Battle Tower, and onto the Corvitaxi back to Postwick. They don't talk, but their hands are still intertwine. For once, despite himself, Alexis is hopeful. Elliot did say things would work out. 100%.

Falling
Pairing: Raihan x Reader
Falling in love is easy...
It's falling out of love that's the hard part.
As you try to run from old feelings you meet someone who is determined to bring the spark back into your eyes. Raihan isn't sure what happened in the past and he doesn't care. He's got one shot to make you his and he's going to take it.
Tumblr media
Begin at the End
You gaze in disbelief as, with a final fire blast, Hau’s Incinaroar sends your Ninetales to the ground. Your eyes widen and you summon her back into her Pokeball robotically. You smile at the new victor and you know, for the first time in three years what freedom tastes like. You walk towards Hau, no longer a boy of fifteen, but a young man of eighteen, and Alola’s new champion. You feel nothing but relief as you shake his hand and congratulate the shell-shocked male in front of you. 
You can practically feel the world jump to life as a new champion joins the ranks. You walk out of the arena for the last time. You wish you could say it’s bittersweet, but all you can feel is the joy of escape.
The hallway leading to the locker room is long and dark. You notice a figure leaning against the wall near the end, you don’t pause just keep walking until his voice pierces the silence. 
“Did you throw the match?”
You stop and turn towards Kukui, your friend and co-worker, the man you had fallen in love with. The man you could never have. 
“No.”
“Don’t lie to me…”
“It doesn’t matter if I did or I didn’t… I’m no longer the champion of the Alola region. As far as I’m concerned I’m a free woman now.”
“You make it sound like we’ve been holding you prisoner.”
“I came here to escape the limelight and yet you were determined to throw me into it all over again. I did as you asked! I built your league, I chose and trained your gym leaders and I put Alola on the map. I would like to be left alone now.”
“(Name)... what happened? I thought you liked it here… You’ve been so distracted lately… and now your loss…”
“Hau will be a great Champion, he grew up on the islands and his grandfather will help him. He will be a wonderful leader and a shining light to trainers here. Don’t worry, your league will be fine.”
“But-”
“Kukui I need to go. I can’t stay here anymore…” You mutter forlornly as you continue on your way leaving him to his thoughts in the darkness. 
That night as you sit gazing at the TV screen a ping on your phone alerts you to a new message. 
Hello (Name)! 
This is Leon, Champion of the Galar region! It has been brought to my attention that another champion has taken over your mantle. Your final battle as champion was absolutely smashing, by the way! The Galar League would like to invite you to consider heading our own league. We are aware you helped to build The Alolan League from the ground up and after the recent loss of our own chairman we are looking for someone to take his place! We believe you would be perfect! We understand that this is a large commitment, so we would like you to come to Galar to get a feel of our League. All expenses will be paid by the committee, of course!
I look forward to your reply!
Leon 
You gaze down at the email before you and you can’t help but feel desperation come over you. A way out! A purpose! A distraction! Better than all of that… An entirely new region away from the man you aren’t supposed to be in love with. 
Your reply back is simple: 
I’ll leave tomorrow.
(Name)
Your escape from Alola is quick and quiet. You are dressed in a pair of ripped blue jeans, with a black top and a blanket like ruana along with your combat boots. You board the plane that almost no one is on and sigh in relief as the plane takes off. Perhaps you will feel more guilty about running off without an explanation later, but right now you need the solitude. 
***The Galar Region***
Raihan can hardly believe his eyes as he watches the replay of the championship match. The (Name) (L.Name) lost to some kid? Raihan is mad about her and had looked up to her for the last couple of years. She is cool, confident, and funny with this cunning wit that he loved. He loved to watch her battle because it was always wild. He could tell that she had grown up battling with these intense strategies and insanely powerful pokemon. They were all powerhouses in their own right; his favorite though, is definitely her Garchomp.
He had noticed the last few months things had been different. She seemed bored in her battles and where she had always been quick-witted and charming during the post-battle interviews, she was now short with her answers. He was a little worried about her, but he had also never met her before, so it’s not like he can just slide into her DMs and start asking personal questions. This last battle had confirmed his suspicions though. She looked relieved when she lost. The champion that he looks up to would never be relieved to lose. Raihan frowns over his eggs as he continues to watch the report. 
The distinct ring of his phone woke him from his musings. Raihan would normally ignore a call so early in the morning, but it’s Leon and he had been helping him look for someone to replace the chairman. 
“What could you possibly need this early?” Raihan asks as he answers the phone. 
“Raihan! She’s coming! She’s on a plane and she’s arriving this evening!”
“Who is?” 
“(Name) (L.Name)!”
“What? How?” he asks in bewilderment. 
“I sent her an email last night! She replied while I was asleep and she said she’s leaving today! It’s a ten-hour flight from Alola! She’s going to be here tonight!”
“She lost her title yesterday! How is she already getting on a plane!”
“I don’t know! But we need to book a room and arrange tours and dinners! You know she would be perfect to run the League! And we’ve been looking for months!”
“I know man… I know… Let’s just take this one step at a time…” Raihan says with a sigh as he leaves his uneaten eggs on the table and heads to his room to change. He hadn’t been expecting his idol to arrive in Galar tonight, but he’s not complaining about it. 
***Later***
You pull the ruana closer around you and adjust the sunglasses. Your steps are quick and sure as you head towards the front of the airport. The nice thing about being a champion is the perks it affords you as you flash your credentials. You walk over to the luggage carousel and pluck your bag from the belt when it comes around. 
You notice a small crowd formed around a couple of people. Upon closer inspection, you see Champion Leon and the eighth Gym Leader Raihan. You walk closer to them and only stop when you hear a small gasp. You look down at the small girl and smile as she squeals.
“Y-you’re- (Name)!!”
“I am! And who are you? You ask as you bend down to speak to her. You don’t notice the silence that has taken over the crowd, or the awe in which they look upon you. 
“I’m Claire! You’re my favorite!” she declares in excitement. 
“Why thank you! Do you have a favorite?” you ask indicating the pokemon on your belt.
“Aurora!” she squeals. 
You tap the top of one of the Pokeballs and Aurora pops out. She gazes around at the crowd before addressing the 8-year-old girl in front of her. You smile at the look of wonder and awe on her face. 
“She’s...beautiful!”
Aurora sits regally beside you then yips at the little girl and bowing her head. Claire looks up at you, you give her a nod of permission then she takes a hesitant step forward and gingerly touches the soft fur on Aurora’s head. 
“She’s fierce in battle, but a total sweetheart otherwise.” 
Aurora lets out a soft cry as she looks back up at you. You run your fingers through her soft fur. 
“Thank you!” Claire says as he gazes up at you in wonder. 
“You’re welcome!” you say as you pull a card from your pack. You sign it before you hand it to her making her gasp. 
“This the best day!” She exclaims as she rushes back to her parents. They look over at you with gratitude before beaming down at their daughter. 
Aurora taps her Pokeball with her nose and a moment later she is nestled inside against your hip. 
“That was...really cool of you to do,” Raihan says as he walks up beside you. He takes the bag from the floor beside you silently offering to carry it for you. 
You shrug in reply, “She’s sweet and how can I turn down such a face?” 
 “I wasn’t expecting you so soon, but I’m glad you could make it! I’m Leon!” Leon says as he steps forward. 
“I’m sorry it was such short notice, but I need a break from Alola. I know I didn’t really give you any time to prepare anything, so just take your time with things. I’m in no rush.”
“Well, I’m sure you’re hungry! There is a great steakhouse near here if you would like to go? My treat of course!”
You give Leon a soft smile, “That’s very kind of you to offer, but I’m tired from the flight. Perhaps something quicker?”
Raihan, who had been letting Leon do the talking and silently psyching himself up, interjects, “What about pizza?”
“A man after my own heart…” you say as you give him a smile, he happily returns it.
Sitting at the pizza place you feel yourself relax a little bit. Leon is doing most of the talking and Raihan seems to be shooting you glances every now and then but doesn’t speak much. 
“I was thinking that you could take a day tomorrow to get adjust, maybe we could show you the town. Then we will start the tour of the gyms and give you a breakdown of the League.” You rest your head on your hands as you listen to Leon. You can tell both of them are nervous, most likely due to the upcoming Gym Challenge. Their former chairman has been stripped of his title and is currently atoning for, well almost destroying the world. They need someone to run things, and you can tell from the bags under Leon’s eyes that he’s been burning the candle at both ends. 
“Don’t be so nervous, I think this will be a good fit for me. I’m mostly curious about the challenges and your gym leaders. My understanding is you don’t have an elite four? You do a challenger competition then a tournament leading up to the championship battle. It’s a little different than what I’m used to, but I can roll with it,” you say with a shrug.
Leon’s shoulders sag in relief, “I’m glad you think so, things have been crazy trying to figure out what needs to be done for the upcoming challenge. I don’t think I can coordinate that and fulfill my champion duties. Raihan and several other gym leaders have been helping out, but they won’t have time for long. I think you would be a great fit and I hope you think so too.”
“No, of course not, you all have things that need to be done for your own gyms. Also, I’m not trying to be presumptions but it sounds like the job is mine if I want it.”
“It is,” Leon says with finality. 
“I think that was the easiest job interview I’ve ever had,” you say with a smile as you take a bite of the pizza in front of you. 
Both men look relieved as they bite into their own food. 
The next day dawns with a text message from Leon stating he’s got some business to attend to, but Raihan will be showing you around. So you’re not surprised when Raihan is waiting in the lobby for you with a cup of coffee and a danish. 
“Did you bring me coffee and food? Watch out… I may decide to marry you on this tour.”
He laughs as he hands the treats over to you, “I wouldn’t be too opposed to that…”
You pretend not to see his wince and the silent chiding he gives himself. 
“Oh? So you like getting married to women you just met?” you say with a smile over your coffee cup, teasing him. 
“Ehh more like getting married to women I admire. I’m kinda a huge fan of yours…” he trails off and looks down obviously embarrassed. 
You smile as he attempts to hide his face from you, “I think that’s awesome that you’re a fan. You’re a really amazing trainer so it’s an honor that you like the way I battle.”
He looks up in surprise, “Really? You’ve seen me battle?”
“Of course! I don’t want to play favorites or anything… but I’ve been hoping you’d take the title for a few years now. You’ve got a… wildness… that Leon doesn’t have. Kinda reminds me of...me…”
“I’m not going to lie… Several of your strategies have inspired a few of mine. That battle you had with Lance a few years ago… That was intense!”
You laugh, “Lance is an old friend, every time we get together I goad him into a battle. He taught me a lot about dragons and battling in general, he’s a little stiff, but he’s great at what he does. He mostly just thinks I’m the little sister he never wanted.”
“You know a ton of great champions and trainers don’t you?”
You shrug as you head off down the street towards the taxi he called, “It comes with the territory… When you make champion I’ll make sure you meet the right champions to further your career.”
“When?”
“We both know it’s going to happen… You have too much passion and drive for it not to.”
Raihan stops at the casual way you proclaimed his victory over Leon as if it had already happened. As if it’s set in stone. Do you really have that much confidence in him? 
“Well if you keep talking like that then we just might have to get married today,” he says with a laugh as he bumps your shoulder. 
You giggle as you climb into the taxi, and for just a moment you feel light and free with the giddiness of hope that this is where you need to be.
Notes: 
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my Raihan fic! I think it’s an interesting dynamic and it’s going to be fuuunnnn! I basically just want awkward yet smooth Raihan flirting with me making me feel like a queen all day. Come at me....
Anyway! Please let me know your thoughts!! Also, do you like the thought of certain parts being told from his POV? Let me know and I’ll play with it if you do!

[ Throughout the thick of the busy voices, a buzz is barely heard in the background, only being noticed with the light that accompanied it. Curiously, the owner of the vibrating device leaned over from the chair she sat in with a lax but elegant pose to see who messaged her during her photoshoot. A number she didn’t expect, but would happily accept: her co-worker, Piers. ]
Tumblr media
[ All the Gym Leaders at least knew each other due to their shared position, some more than others, but it’s not like they were strangers to one another. Nessa had always enjoyed interacting with her other Leaders, whether it was a professional outing or informal dinner. She especially enjoyed interactions with Raihan, as often he brought Leon and she brought Sonia as they all journeyed together on their own Gym Challenges. They were great friends, silly hijinks would often come with them even. ]
[ This time though, it was Piers, leaving her a message to see if she would be interested in attending a musical gig he had later tonight. Although he was pretty underground and indie, all their co-workers loved his music and would support him whenever they could, Nessa included. Even if she was a total nerd and would often listen to pop, musicals, or even orchestra music, she had a soft spot for the type of punk rock-esque music his style matches. Any time she would hear it, it would be a raw, unfiltered experience that would leave her awestruck. How could she say no to him? ]

[ Typing in a collected but excited reply, she smiled as she sent him a “Definitely going to be there.” and placed her phone back to the little stand near her seat where it was previously. Thankfully this event would take place until later that night, so she had enough time to finish up the photoshoot she was doing for an ad. She wasn’t usually one for staying out late as her parents had hammered in a hard curfew in her head in her younger life, but to be an adult means the ability to do whatever you want. 'Even if that means missing out on beauty sleep,’ she laughed internally before she was called to pose for more photos. ]

Camping Date  - (A Gordie x Lilac Fanfic)
“Gordie and Lilac share a lovely camping trip with each other as they have a mutual crushing relationship. Lilac also meets Gordie’s Pokémon team properly for the first time, and desperately hopes they’ll like her...”
I hope you guys enjoy this silly little fic I made for me and Gordie ;w;! (rbs are always appreciated!)
Subcategories/Tags for this fic include: Pre-Canon (basically before Gordie and I get together/married), Fluff, Mutual Pining, Humour/Romantic Comedy, Friends
fic under the cut ♡( ◡‿◡ )
Gordie suddenly stopped in his tracks as a message from his good friend kept him from pacing down his hallway for the twentieth time.
Raihan: ayyyy mate
Raihan: you ready for that camping date w lilac??
Gordie’s cheeks flushed at the word ‘date’.
Gordie: Raihan it’s not a date, she wouldn’t wanna go on a date with me.
Raihan: nah she totally would. have you seen the way she acts around you?
Raihan: I’m proud of ya son
Gordie: shut up
Raihan: also she sees the way you act around her, you know
Raihan: sooo its obv she has feelings for you mate.
Gordie turned his head away from his Rotom Phone, not looking at the text to make himself calm down; he definitely had feelings for her, but, could he really have his hopes up like that? That she liked him back?
Gordie: I’m just glad she accepted my offer to hang out with me tbh
Raihan: mhmm... ‘hang out’
Raihan: so you two could smooch in the stony wilderness eh
Gordie: stop making this romantic raihan
Raihan: why? because you can’t accept the truth? lol
Gordie: ugh
Gordie: just don’t make me nervous before this. it’s really big for me
Raihan: i got you bro! you’re gonna do great.
Raihan: she loves your pokemon (and you) I can tell.
Raihan was right at that. Ever since the Gym Challenge that made them Gym Leaders, Lilac always showed interest towards Gordie’s Pokémon team. It was probably the only interest towards his Pokémon then, but it continued on to their careers as Gym Leaders, and that’s what he loved.
Gordie: thanks, mate. i’m about to get into a flying taxi to head over now. see you :]
Raihan: my man’s gonna get a gf!!!!! good luck out there lad!
---
Gordie had just finished setting up the campsite in the Stony Wilderness when he heard a Corviknight squawking and flapping its wings nearby. He knew it was Lilac’s taxi, and began to walk up to the seating area he set up for them, which was a tree trunk he found nearby that his Tyranitar carried over for him (such a strong guy, Tyranitar!). 
And before he even knew it, Lilac poked her head around the corner of the two stones that were just behind the trunk bench, smiling.
“Gordie!” she greeted him. Gordie involuntarily gave her a beam, hugging her. It was a tight hug, but not too tight: like a big Beartic hug saved just for her. After all, he couldn’t really help but feel anxious in a peculiar homesick way whenever the two couldn’t see each other at work. 
“Hey, Lils! How have you been?” he said, trying not to trip over his words already as he heard his heart beat against his chest. “You find your way here alright with the cabbie?” 
“It was fine! The guy even mentioned he liked this place quite a bit. Said it was a great location for a d- uh, you know, just a nice campfire with your Pokémon!”
Gordie laughed in agreement, but wondered about the cabbie knowing about their date; if he knew, the news could spread out to the public and everyone could know, including his mum of all people...! (Not that she didn’t know they had ‘unrequited’ feelings for each other anyways.)
They both heard the low, neutral growls of Gordie’s Pokémon, looking behind them to see the whole team clamoured around them both in a circle.
“Oh, they’ve noticed you’re here now, eh?” he said, turning around to face his team. “Alright, you lot. Lilac’s here, okay? She’s gonna be camping with us, so all of you on your best behaviour around her!” 
Lilac grinned to herself at that statement, comparing it to Gordie instructing a bunch of mischievous kids like he was a teacher. But, she always knew his team could be mischievous like little kids themselves, including Shuckle, who was quite fussy over PokéDolls. And, to be fair, her team was playful in their own ways as well. 
Lilac sent out her Pokémon with each Poké Ball’s signature zap, releasing her team for a play outside with Gordie’s. Pikachu looked around at the Rock-type Pokémon, inquisitive as the rest of her team went out on the grassy field to play.
“I’m surprised Pikachu let me put her in her ball,” she stated. “but she loves to play with Coalossal, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was for him!”
Gordie felt his cheeks heat up; maybe it was such a simple statement, but the fact even her Pokémon were in a good relationship with his seemed like pure happiness, like everyone was getting along... Even with all the Gym Battles they’d been paired up with, Pikachu and Coalossal seemed like Poké Buddies, through Gigantamax and thin.
Gordie cleared his throat to distract from his now very rosy cheeks. “How about you take a seat? I’m gonna make curry for all of us, I’m sure we have enough for two teams!”
“That sounds lovely! Thanks, Gordie.” she replied, sitting down on the trunk and propping her cane up against the side of it, consoling her shy Togedemaru as Gordie came over to his curry-making pot to set up his ingredients.
---
In her eyes, Gordie always made the best curry for her. He once made her Moomoo Cheese-Covered Curry at work and fell in love with his cooking skill since; if she married him or moved in with him it would mean all the best meals for her and their Pokémon in the World...
When everyone had finished their curry, Gordie and Lilac sat on the trunk as their Pokémon played together. It was like watching their - quite large if taken both figuratively and literally - family run around in the park as a married couple.
 Lilac quickly scratched those thoughts out of her mind; what was she thinking already acting like she was married to Gordie...? A breeze came across their faces and Lilac sighed, trying to distract from the ridiculous daydream she had. There was another question on her mind, ever since she arrived at the Stony Wilderness.
“Gordie?”
“Hm?” Gordie perked up from the sudden question from them being so silent as they relaxed.
“Do you think... Coalossal likes me? Like, doesn’t hate me or whatever?” she puffed out, cheeks in her hands.
“No, I don’t think so. I think none of my team dislike you in any way. How come you ask that, Lils?”
“He’s been staring at me for a while...” 
Gordie turned around to see Coalossal gazing at Lilac from afar with somewhat confused and focused eyes. If he’d ever seen eyes like those, he just wanted to play with Lilac.
Gordie got up from his seat and started calling for Coalossal. 
Coalossal let out a dim roar as he walked to Lilac, yet his footsteps were so powerful and loud against the soft grass. It shook Lilac to her very core, holding onto Gordie and then freezing in place when she tried to escape.
“Gordie! He’s mad at me-!”
“Don’t worry, it’s okay, he’s coming over with me here...!”
When Coalossal let the last booms of his footstep echo throughout the field, he was dangerously near Lilac when she spotted something in his hands...
A ball. 
“Ah?” Lilac exclaimed. Coalossal gave her a happy expression, a cheerful rumble coming out of him as he leaned in to give her the ball with his large, yet hilariously stubby arms. Shuckle patted her ankle with one of his strange, limp arms, calming her with little ‘shuckle-shuckle’ sentences of his. It was a weird, but a very reassuring feeling.
“You scared her a little, Coalossal! Next time you wanna play, go up to her nicely this time, alright?” Gordie chortled with a wide smile on his face. Coalossal replied with a purl and Lilac threw the ball for Coalossal when she had finally unfroze. The same pounding footsteps continued as Coalossal chased after the ball, catching it to play with Barbaracle and Boltund, with Boltund yapping away. 
Lilac laughed at herself for being so silly around Coalossal, and turned to Gordie. At this point, she became quite fixated on him; she noticed how reassuring and motivating he was, especially recently around one of his main and very intimidating Pokémon. She didn’t notice she was staring until he looked himself into her eyes. His cute eyes. Her cute eyes, he thought.
“Gordie?” she asked again, but with an explicitly more shy tone. “You know, I think I like you too.” 
Gordie inhaled a sharp breath as a wave of relief swept over him from the amount of tension he had experienced, tense over whether or not she liked him.
“Really?”
“Yeah... Y-Yeah, I do. You’re...”
Their heads moved in close together, a move completely involuntary, but a move needed to break the feeling of unrequited feelings between each other.
“You’re...”
A loud cry from Pikachu startled both of them, when they peeked together at what made her do that, Shuckle was cradling her like one of his PokéDolls. 
“No! No, Shuck- I’m so sorry, Li- Shuckle, that is not one of your PokéDolls! That’s Lils’ Pikachu! Drop her now!”
Lilac watched on as Shuckle cried out in retaliation, disappointed that they were interrupted so suddenly, but still amused at how much of a toddler Shuckle acted like. She leaned down, petting her Togedemaru, returning to near her legs.
“That’s Gordie’s team for you, isn’t it, sweet?”
---
Lilac: gordie, i really enjoyed that camping time. shuckle’s so funny :3
Gordie: he is, isn’t he? haha, little troublemaker
Lilac: lol ^^

I have a neato request! What if Raihan was yandere over Leon? I can totally see all those selfies he takes in game, instantly goes to Leon. I could also see him getting real pissed that someone beat Leon. What would you think would happen?
Oh, interesting! Thanks for requesting! @lovablenatsume ^-^
»»————-———— ♡ ————————-««
♡  Well, obviously, Raihan is slightly - very - obsessed with his peer. They have regular meet-ups, and he uses them fully. Not only to battle his ‘rival’ but also to show him the latest things that Raihan did, trying to keep him up to date with everything going on in his life. He soaks in every attention he can get from Leon, showing him all the Pokémon he met lately, the camping trips he did. Thanks to Leon’s patience, it doesn’t matter that all these pictures are the ones he already saw, considering he gets spammed all day long with messages and pics from Raihan. Raihan eating, Raihan training, out for a jog, meeting fans - and hoping to make Leon a little jealous of the selfies he takes with them - Leon gets to see everything. Amazingly, he hasn’t blocked the Gym Leader yet, always just the same amount of amusement in his expression and the occasional chuckle as Leon listens, that make Raihan's heart skip a beat
♡  But Leon is patient and, most importantly, oblivious to the obsession Raihan is harboring. It makes his feelings even worse because he needs the validation desperately that he means something to Leon as Leon means to him, his whole world only revolving around it. Raihan wants to be recognized as worthy, appreciated for what he is by the only person that is ‘in his way’ to ascension. Leon is the only thing to look up to for him, so it’s only natural that Leon should be the person hanging out with him and giving as much attention back as Raihan gives him. Those pictures are not sent without intent, some rather sneaky ones put in for good measure too like when he tells Leon he’s about to change for a gym battle or taking a shower. There’s nothing Raihan wouldn’t do to cause a reaction from Leon, even if it’s just the tiniest bit of ‘Good luck! (:’ as a text back
♡  There’s not much to do about the occasional challenger that beats Raihan fair and square. And though they are better than him, he doesn’t recognize them worthy of his time yet until they beat Leon, which never happens. Raihan is glad to be the forerunner for Leon at the Champions League match, giving them one hell of a time before they should even have the honor to look at Leon, but eventually, someone manages, after a hard, worthy battle, to defeat the undefeated, and kick Leon of his throne. It causes a night of completely falling apart for Raihan, unable to get it into his head how someone could defeat his idol. After sending a million texts asking Leon if he’s alright and needs some hanging out and support, Raihan will become unhinged to the fact he gets no reply, feeling a pain in his chest as if he was the champion defeated by a child, deciding he has to do something. Either he finds out if they cheated by watching the match again and again, or he confronts them how they did it and how they possibly could do something like this. Raihan would do anything for his Leon, who is now suffering the consequences of injustice, or so he thinks

Resending cause I was a butt before! Any chance on a short bit or HC'S on Raihan x champion!trainer (crush leading up to s/o) whos Pangoro is a total mom and probably disapproves of our dragon boy being interested in their trainer at first. (Plus points on trainer being a tiny shorty compared to this 6'8 doof)
You weren’t a butt last time since you immediately realized the requests were closed and sent in an apology post, so don’t worry about it! I also saw your other messages, and I have you know I’m more of a Christmas gremlin, but I do appreciate the thought. Hope you enjoy this, I wrote it on my phone at work, so it was hard to concentrate on this, but I wanted to get something out today!
Raihan x Reader: Pangorno
It was very clear from the moment he met the champion’s team that one particular Pokémon of theirs hated him. That Pokémon also happened to be their oversized Pangoro that would glare at him if he even breathed over in the champion’s direction. At first, it didn’t bother him all that much as he just saw the champion as a pretty face, but the more he got to know them, the more he realized he was in deep. What started as just admiration soon began to blossom into full-on infatuation. This made their damn pangoro ten times more protective.
Of course, the champion didn’t notice this at all. The thought it was entertaining to watch how they interacted. It finally dawned on them about three months of it happening that Pangoro was protecting them from Raihan for absolutely no reason.
It happened when the champion and Raihan were going for a walk around the town when the champion’s Pangoro decided to leave her Pokeball and looked down at Raihan. The two were almost the same height, with Pangoro being slightly taller than Raihan. They glared at one another as Pangoro began walking in between them.
“Panchie, I can’t see Raihan with you standing there.” The Champion complained, referring to the beast by the overly adorable nickname they had given her when they were just a Pancham.
Pangoro just grunted while picking up the short trainer and placing them on her shoulders. The champion laughed until they looked down over at Raihan, who was looking down, clearly disappointed. The champion was confused as they bent a bit and lightly tapped the top of his head, making him look up.
Raihan was surprised when the Champion held out a hand towards him, clearly an invitation to hold onto it. Raihan just smirked while grabbed into their hand, and Pangoro grunted, a bit annoyed. The champion looked down at the unamused Pokémon before they pecked her on top of the head.
“Panchie, you gotta be nice to Raihan. He’s my good friend, and I want him in my life. I want you two to get along.” The Champion cooed, and the Pangoro melted a bit by the trainer’s affection. The champion had picked up Pangoro as one of their first pokemon on their team, so it wasn’t a surprise that the giant bear Pokémon was very protective over the champion. Still, Pangoro also wanted the champion to be happy, even if it meant playing nice to the annoying dragon boy.
“Awe, you want me in your life?” Raihan teased the trainer who flushed brightly at this. Pangoro quickly shoved him a bit and made him fall over. Perhaps eventually they’d get along...but today wasn’t that day.
