SWSH headcanon - Piers’ REAL Challenge in the Gym Challenge

aight another head canon that nobody asked for but still makes me so SOFT to think about: Piers having to take baby Marnie with him during his gym challenge.

So like, I have a hc that they’ve been on their own since Piers was around 11, so while other kids his age are doing the gym challenge, he’s taking care of his sister with help from other friendly adults that know the pair in Spikemuth. So when he’s 12, he’s gained a pretty big rep as a great pokemon trainer from a nowhere city on social media (not him posting it, but others who record his matches) - so basically he gets a special endorsement to enroll in the challenge.

However, he doesn’t want to leave his sister alone for 3 months, so he decides to just take her with him.

Along the way he makes friends in the challenge, and they help him take care of Marnie (as well as himself). Then there’s the first gym match and he’s ready to go out, but Oleana stops him like “You can’t take a baby on the field.” and Piers panics for a second, worried that he’s going to have to drop out since no-one can watch Marnie for him.

flash cut to Piers wrecking shop in the gym battle while Oleana sighs as she’s holding this cute little baby Marnie in her arms. This happens at every single gym, and though Oleana never admits it, she secretly began to enjoy tending to Marnie and often would try to babysit whenever she ran into Piers during her few moments of free time. 

anyway that’s my head canon rant of the day lolol thanks for reading~
