Playing with Fire: The Photobooth
Fandom: Marvel (Dad's Best Friend AU)
Pairing: DBF!Bucky x F!Reader
Summary: Your dad's coworker and best friend, Bucky, decides to tag along with you on your errands after your boyfriend bailed on you last minute.
A/N: Bucky is in his late 40s, reader in her mid to late 20s. inspo came from these recent pics of seb.
The Book Store
Tumblr media
Further into downtown, you stop at another store that sold different types of knick knacks and gifts.
Bucky follows you out of your car and towards the store, "Yelena's birthday is coming up so I figured I can check this place out for some stuff for her."
"I'm following you, sugar," Bucky says as he enters the store and is immediately met with a plethora of color and trinkets.
You zero in on a shelf that displays little crystal figurines. You smile at the ones shaped like animals, some shaped like Pokemon and Sanrio characters.
Yelena always had a thing for elephants so you immediately pick up an elephant carving made from amethyst.
"Those are cute," Bucky says as he looks over your shoulder.
You turn to him with a grin, "Right?! Lena, would love this," you hold up the elephant with a wide smile.
"She likes elephants?"
You nod, "She likes how smart and cute they are."
Bucky watches as you head to the pay counter and ask the cashier if you could place the crystal carving there for now. When the cashier nods, you thank them and head back to Bucky.
"I just wanted to make sure I don't accidentally drop it while I look around."
Bucky continues to follow you around the store until his eyes land on a photobooth in the corner. His eyes brighten, "Oh, hey! Check this out!" He takes your hand and leads you to the booth, "Haven't used one of these since high school."
You scrunch your face up as you think, "I don't think I've actually used one of these before."
Bucky looks at you in surprise, "Really?" You shrug and he opens the curtain to it, "Well let's do one then."
You snort, "Seriously?"
"Yeah, c'mon. Better late than never, right?" He takes your hand again and pulls you in. He sits on the bench and you do your best to squeeze in beside him.
"This isn't gonna work out, here," he has you stand and then he pulls you onto his leg, "Better?"
You gulp, "Y-Yeah."
You try not to pay attention to the hand that rests on your hip as he pays and picks out the amount of pictures and strips. He leans back and points at the screen, "Okay. It's gonna count down for us before every picture. There'll be four pictures all together so be ready."
"Right. Got it. What should we do first?"
"Uuuuhhh happy?"
You giggle and you both smile when the screen counts down to one. You two work quick, "Sad?"
The both of you do your best to look sad. You frown while Bucky straight up looks like he's wailing. When the camera snaps, you lose it. You find Bucky's face absolutely hilarious and he's watching you laugh at him. You're too caught up in the moment to realize that the countdown started and took your picture.
"Oh crap. Uuuuhhh, silly face?" he asks and you nod.
You blow out your cheeks and cross your eyes. He pulls out his ears and sticks his tongue out.
He pulls back the curtain again and has you step out first. You realize how warm you are now so you start to fan yourself. He walks out with a grin, "That was fun."
He leans against the booth while waiting for the pictures to print, "I can't believe you never used one of these before."
"Just never caught my interest, I guess. But I definitely see the appeal now. I'll have to come back with Yelena to use it."
Bucky cocks a brow, "Not your boyfriend?"
Your smile weakens at the mention of your boyfriend, "Oh, um, John doesn't like taking pictures together. He thinks they're dumb."
Bucky's brows raise, "Thinks they're dumb?"
You shrug, "He thinks taking pictures together and posting them is like showing off. So he said he doesn't need to show off our relationship because we both know we're in one. I don't really get it, but I got tired of arguing with him on wanting to have keepsakes for memories," you look down in shame. The only person who knows how John is like is Yelena. When around your dad, John puts up a front. Like he's the perfect guy to you. He's not bad, but sometimes he's not good either.
"And this is the same boyfriend who ditched you today?" Bucky asks with a look on his face you can't even decipher. Is he mad? Annoyed?
"He didn't necessarily ditch me, Bucky. He had a deadline to meet for his capstone project."
"Right and I'm sure he already knew of this deadline and proceeded to procrastinate anyway."
You cross your arms over your chest defensively, "What's your issue with him? You don't even know him, Bucky."
"You're right, I don't, but from just the little information you've given me today, I don't think he's the right guy for you."
"Don't think you have a say in the guys I get involved with, Bucky," you say with a scoff and turn around to walk away but he grabs you by the elbow, "Wait, wait."
You turn back to him and raise a brow, arms crossed over your chest. He sighs, "I'm sorry. I just know you deserve better."
"Thanks but I'll be the judge of that, Bucky. I'm an adult. I'm responsible for my own decisions."
"Yeah. I know, but still. You deserve to be with someone who isn't afraid to show you off, ya know? Makes time with you and does everything to make you happy."
You nod, "I know. Thanks, Bucky."
"Sure," he lets you go to continue to shop for Yelena.

Hey I really I like the how the Drayton and Lacey x Elesa’s kid turned out, thanks! I wanted to ask if you could do an expansion on that.
What if the reader started to get eating disorders or unhealthy eating habits trying to live up to their’s mom’s legacy (maybe excessive battling too.)
Also how would they react around their partner pokemon, Zebstrika. How would react if Elesa came for a surprise visit (I headcanon elesa as a good mom since she helped out Bianca in Pokémon black and white)
Oooo, it's been awhile since I wrote about any heavy topics like this. I will go ahead and say though, massive trigger warning for eating disorders. This is all fiction of course, but stay safe out there!
Being Elesa's kid, part 2:
Content Warning: Eating Disorders
Tumblr media
Lacey is the first to notice your discomfort. She asks why you're not eating your food, and you respond that you're just not hungry. She lets it go at first, but then she notices that you start to skip even more meals and spend more time training your Pokemon.
Days go by and you haven't eaten anything. One day you mention to her that maybe you're eating too many calories for the day, and she finally has enough. She drags you aside and demands to weigh you, despite your protests.
You've lost... a lot of weight. Too much. Lacey pales as she looks between you and the scale.
"Y/N... We need to get you some help." She says quietly. "This isn't right."
You have an argument with her. You keep insisting you don't need help, that you're perfectly fine-- but Lacey knows you better than that. She points out that your Zebstrika has been looking tired from exhaustion (from excessive training), and that she's worried you've developed an eating disorder. She urges you to get help. You yell at her that she's been ignoring you lately, so maybe she should just mind her own business, because she's much prettier than you anyway.
...There's silence.
"Y/N, is that what this is about?" She asks finally. "What's going on?"
Apparently you had been bullied online after posting pictures of yourself with Lacey and Drayton. They would comment that someone like you didn't deserve to be friends with the likes of them-- they were important people, and you were just some nobody. They made fun of you for being Elesa's kid, saying they couldn't even tell because you looked nothing like your mom.
You had a mental breakdown after showing all of this to Lacey. Drayton came in just then because he heard shouting, and Lacey caught him up on the situation.
Drayton comforts you patiently as you sob into his shoulder, but his blood is boiling on the inside. Those bullies hurt you like this, they tore you apart... He would find them and give them hell.
Using his connections in the school as well as talking to Director Cyrano, he tracks down the bullies. He breaks their spirits in battle, strips them of their ranks, and leaves the rest of their punishment to the director.
Lacey is by your side the entire time, making sure you're taken care of physically and mentally. She wants to scold you, but she decides it can wait. Right now, your health is more important.
When Drayton gets back, he showers you with affection-- kisses, hugs, and cuddling. You fall asleep next to him, exhausted from such a long day.
Drayton swears to protect you. You're his only treasure, after all. He'll guard you with his life.
Elesa visits a week later after she hears the news. She's worried sick, asking you questions and checking your vitals. When you tell her you'll be fine, she starts crying a bit and hugs you.
"Oh darling... You don't need to hide around me. I'm always here for you. You will always be good enough for me." She whispers. You end up crying too, and Elesa makes sure you get the help you need before she departs. She even pays for your therapy.
Your Zebstrika has a bit of trouble trusting you, even after you start getting help. It wore itself out to exhaustion because of your training.
You tell Zebstrika with a heavy heart that if it wants to be with another trainer, you would be more than willing to release it or trade it away. To your surprise though, your Pokemon forgives you.
Zebstrika saw the pain you endured. It heard you cry yourself to sleep at night reading comments online. It wants to stay by your side, just this once.

Hi I hope I'm not late to request anything! I was wondering if you can do any headcanons or whatever you feel like writing of arven finding out the his partner y/n had physic powers after walking in on them using their powers
author's note: Inspiration struck me with this one! I made a little mini one-shot. No, no, this absolutely isn't me displaying my Arven favoritism. But I must say, who else liked him throughout Scarlet and Violet and then began hardcore simping after the scene in Aera Zero? I know I did and I am not ashamed to admit it. Enjoy!!!
rating: general
fandom: pokemon
pairings: arven x gn!reader
word count: 535
warnings: none
summary: Arven finds out that his partner is a psychic. Now what does Mabosstiff have to say about him?
Arven thought of himself as a composed and coordinated person. Whether that is the truth is up to those who know him. What he will admit, though, was that he thought you were nuts when you claimed you and Mabosstiff were deep in conversation and that’s why he couldn’t bother you.
“Run that by me again,” he deadpanned after picking his jaw up off of the floor of his dormitory. “You’re talking. To Mabosstiff.”
“Yes,” you replied, patting the Pokemon on its head before standing up slowly to meet Arven at eye level. “We chat quite frequently, actually.”
He couldn’t believe his ears. Or his senses. His partner, the one he’d been dating for only a few months, was talking to a Pokemon? No, he figured that you just knew how to communicate with his most beloved partner Pokemon already, which was still impressive. There was just no believing the alternative. You haven’t known Mabosstiff for long enough to understand his queues, but there’s just no other way.
“How, praytell, did you manage to understand my dearest Mabosstiff so fast?” Arven shouted, pointing a finger at you with a weirdly playful look of terror across his face. “You’ve only been around him for a few months.”
Your reply was… unexpected. Completely vague and incredibly weird.
“Oh, I just talk to him. Like I would anyone else!”
“If you say that you talk in words, I’m going to have a breakdown right here and now.”
“Yes, we do. I can communicate with Pokemon through my mind.”
Arven is down for the count. You manage to scamper over and catch his head before it hits the ground, maneuvering him to lay on the rug. Mabosstiff lumbers over too to sit on the now-free lap of his partner.
“But that’s… completely unheard of. Impossible,” Arven muttered while you put a pillow under his head. “Someone would have researched this by now.”
“I was actually the subject of a study recently,” you said, fixing his hair. Arven gently swatted you away, but you kept stroking his locks.
“Has the paper come out yet? I’d love to read it.”
“No, but I’ll be the first to know. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, by the way. But this was a funny way to have you find out.”
Arven laughed dryly, sitting up from his position on the floor. His hands immediately met yours on Mabosstiff, the two of you holding hands and petting the Pokemon. His butt wagged with his tail, and his true eyes were gently shut as his legs splayed out. Curiosity danced on Arven’s features as he turned to face you.
“So, although I am sure of the answer,” he began before you cut him off right away.
“You want to know what Mabosstiff says about you, yeah?” you finished with a wink.
Arven’s face dropped to horror. “You… can’t read my mind too, can you?”
“No, silly. Just Pokemon. Now, was I right?”
He nodded, glancing back down to his partner. “I’m just curious. I want to hear his words.”
“Mabosstiff always refers to you as his ‘bestest friend in the entire world’. He does want you to change his food, though. He doesn’t like it.”

Pardon me, but could I ask for a JJK x Pokemon crossover request?
Where Trainer!Reader, who's a Ghost type specialist, falls through a portal and into the Jujutsu Kaisen world?
Pairing wise, romantic Gojo/Nanami/Sukuna, with the side of onesided creepy Mahito/Kenjaku. And platonic Yuji/Megumi/Nobara/ the rest of the students.
Ooh I like this idea! I always wondered what kind of story this could make 😁 also just a heads up i haven’t finished the game as i have been procrastinating it and just haven’t gotten used to the new features of this pokemon game yet so please bear with me.
Warning: noob author, male!reader, violence, and others.
Characters: gojo, nanami, sukuna, one-sided!mahito and kenjaku!geto.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were just battling a trainer when you got sucked into a portal that had randomly appeared behind you. You are a adult student part of the college education of the academy here in paldea and was also apart of the mission of defeating the gym leaders to become champion along with other missions like researching the titan Pokémon’s and taking down team star.
You most;y specialize in ghost types, with some if not most being dual tropes to help you along with your journey.
When you exit out of the portal and fell out of it and next thing you knew is that you’re in the hands of a white haired man with a blindfold covering his eyes, next to you is a care that was being driven by a male as you heard him yell frantically.
“Ahhh! What happened?! Why did a man fall into your arms, gojo?!”
“Hmm, i don’t know but he certainly is a cutie that’s for sure~” the man who caught you says while leaning close to your face which made you blush at the closeness and at the complement he gave you as it doesn’t happen often.
After the man in the care drove away somebody ambushed you two and started attacking , you don’t know if this was a pokemon or something else as you don’t think you’re in your world anymore which freaked you out at that possibility and start to worry on how to get along.
A blast from the wall next to you covered both you and the man that caught you which scared you to death as it would mean you… well you would be dead! But surprisingly that didn’t happen as both you and the man still holding you didn’t die like you thought you would.
They talked back and forth before the man holding you finally put you down to, you guess, fight the one eyed talking creature that is a ‘special grade’ whatever that is.
You decided to stay behind him and to hopefully not bring focus to you as the two fought to death.
After one attack smoke clouded your vision making it hard to see the one who caught you when you exited out of that portal, you hoped that he didn’t just dike as you need to figure out a way back home and way to survive this world with those things like whatever attacked you two, thankfully your savoring survived somehow which made you breath a sigh of relief.
“Ahh, we just went over this a minute ago!you a slow learner?” Your savior, which you still haven’t caught the name of waves the smoke out of his face while coughing a little. “This smoke is so irritating.”
After that you just focused on staying hidden as this is something that you don’t understand at the moment and you don’t want to get caught being dead yet.
You watched as the man that saved you wave his hand to demonstrate his point about this ‘infinite’ between him and the monster that attacked thinking that the man was dead when he actually wasn’t. The monster went to the man but you couldn’t see much else from where you were hiding which wasn’t much of a place rather you just sticking low to the ground, good thing your outfit has a bit of the colors that surrounds you three.
Next thing you know is that the man attacked the monster by holding his hand and punching him in the stomach, he continued doing it again and again to the monster before kicking him off the freeway.
You see a small orb of red at the fingertip of the man that saved you before you had to cover your eyes from the big flash of light, once you opened your eyes the man and monster was gone but then you see a trail of wreckage happening in the forest below of the road you’re on.
You decide to sneakily follow after them with one of your pokemon helping you out, ceruledge, you hope the man that saved you doesn’t die as you need to survive in this new world i until you can get back to your own.
Ceruledge carried you to where the fight between the two had ended up, which was a small rounded lake, though you also noticed a boy with pink being carried with one arm by the man that saved you, you and ceruledge stayed in the tree line as you can’t stand on water like the man and monster can.
Though you were shocked to see that the boy can stand on water and with what you were guessing from his reaction so was he.
You noticed that’s the monster was exploding like a volcano and guess that the man had said something that irritated him. You see that a circular structure had formed around the three which confused both you and ceruledge.
You decided to wait and play some games on your phone before you heard what astounded like shattering glass and no more curcular structure seen where last saw it.
“Cerledge, can you bring me to where they went if you can?” You got a nod from the human figured pokemon before being picked up and brought to where they went after the structure broke.
When you got there, the two seem to be getting attacked by another monster that hasn’t shown it’s face yet.
“Ceruledge! Cut that vine holding the boy and bring him to safety!” You commanded your Pokémon and received a nod as he went to do it.
You noticed another monster stealing the head of the first monster that showed up but what you didn’t notice was the the two were looking at you with narrow eye’s.
(I’m going to speed this along.)
Though while you were with man now known to you as gojo and the boy named yuji you never would’ve guessed that someone was talking about you at there secrecy hideout.
“And i see that you didn’t bring the man i had brought to this world?” Geto questioned the two as there was no passed out man like he had asked.
“Do you think i could’ve gotten him looking like this?!” The head of jogo that was in the arms of hanami yells at geto.
“What about you hanami? Why couldn’t you get him?” Geto asked the one armed cursed which brings out a series of words that are hard to understand if you wren’s them.
“Hmm, i guess you have a fair point. Just make sure to get him next time, and that goes the same to you, Manitoba, no fooling around if you do see him yourself.”
“Ok~ will do~”
You were introduced to the prince pal by gojo and was given a job at the school that kills the curses, that you now know is what those molnsters were, that rises in this world after a four hour interview.
Though some random things started to happen, like when you go to sleep you’re met with skulls of many dead things and water that was red, you hoped that it wasn’t blood but from the way things looked it might actually be blood, there you met a male sitting at the top of the pile of skulls and other remains, the male shared similarities to yuji and you wonder if he has some relation to the poor boy that was being trained by gojo.
“Finally we met again, (M/n)” the man says which had you confuse, both on why he knew your name and how he knew you when you never met him until now.
“I-I’m sorry, but who are you?” You asked confused and freaked out.
“Of course you don’t remember, those damned sorcerers, always ruining things for me.” The man whispered but you didn’t’t hear him as he was further away until he teleported to you which startled you at the sudden appearance of him being in front of you.
“Oh how i missed you, you were gone for so long and now you’re finally in my arms again.” He says as he fondles with a strand of hair, you get more confused about what he is saying as you never met him before.
“I don’t know who you are! You must have me mixed up with someone else!”
After that you woke up to it being morning. You continued on the day and even met yuji’s friends, nobara and megumi you treated them and yuji like you would with siblings/teen children and thankfully they liked you as well but megumi had a hard time showing it more than nobara which was fine as you still helped him with that.
Some time passed and you met nanami with yuji, some things happened and now you three are fighting a curse named mahito who freaked you out with all that he was saying and made you bring out your ace pokemon from the shadow that it hides in.
You also ended up saving a boy named junpei who was about to get turned into something that wouldn’t have lasted long if it wasn’t for you coming in and saving the boys from more trauma.
Giritina had brought mahito to it’s world of distortion and brought him out of it knocked out with several wounds before the same curse that saved the monster that attacked you when you came to this world saved mahito and was about to grab you if it wasn’t for the bloodlust that only it and nanami could feel coming from yuji which was originally from sukuna but in a way also from yuji as he doesn’t want to lose you like he almost lost his friend junpei.
(A/n: i hoped i did a good job on and hope you like it!! I thought of this crossover before but didn’t know how to get more thought process for it to become an official idea so this was fun to make though i did have to speed things along to get to the characters you had asked for so i hope you’re ok with that, and hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

RACER 06
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the longer you contemplated what you would do, and who you would be with, it became clear to you who to choose. woonhak was right there the entire time, you were just too blind to see it.
RACE TO YOUR HEART series
PAIRING kim woonhak x fem!reader WC 1.0k TAGS adults dni. racecar driver au. mentions of toxic relationship. confessions. minor cussing. kinda humor. kissing. pokemon ref. TAGLIST @skullverse @yumicherryii OMI NOTE woonhak's ending! jaehyun's will be posted immediately after. also i love the layout for this one hello.
Tumblr media
the second your finger hovered over woonhak’s contact name, you knew it was him. it had always be him. every single touch against your skin, each comfortable silence you had with him, and better yet, every moment you shared with him when he took you to the amusement park. 
maybe you were silly, naive, but you knew that after the course of everything that kim woonhak was the one that you wanted. you didn’t want to hesitate any longer, as you had done enough ot that already. because he needed to know how you were feeling. 
clicking on the call button, you held the phone up to your ear. it rung a couple times, making you chew on your nails nervously. seconds went by, despite it feeling like hours, but you knew he’d answer you. so when the ringing stopped and was replaced by a familiar voice, you felt the smidgen of hope in your heart blossom into something new.
“woonhak..” you whispered into your phone, causing confusion on the other line.
“y/n! are you okay? do you need help? what’s wrong, can i do something for you?” a bit of panic washed over him, it felt like a scene in a horror movie where all the other person can do is whisper a name mysteriously; but this was far from that.
“you, woonhak. i need you to meet me at the race track, the spot where we met for the first time. please?” there was a sense of desperateness in your voice, though your intention wasn’t to come off that way.
“i’ll be there soon, just wait for me.”
and you did. you waited and waited for him, because a few minutes didn’t matter much longer. it gave you time to practice in your head what you wanted to say, each detail pin pointed in your head to make out coherent sentences.
sitting yourself on the floor, your knees pressed into your chest. the feeling was familiar, taking you back to the day you met woonhak and jaehyun in this exact spot. you had no idea it would spiral into this, causing such strong emotions to surface that you didn’t think you had in you since your last boyfriend.
but woonhak was nothing in comparison. he was kind, excited, and had such an immense amount of energy that it could be related to the sun. so when you heard tires pressing against the rocky pavement, coming closer to you by each second, you could only smile. the sound of this was soon replaced by panicked footsteps.
he peeked around the corner to see you, still not completely sure what was going on or if you were mentally there or not. seeing you curled up on the floor, he kneels down to your level to see what was going on.
“hey, i’m here. is everything okay?” he stammered, unsure where to put his hands to be comforting.
you trailed your gaze upwards from its spot on the floor, only to be met with the dark brown eyes of him. he looked extremely worried for you, but it was nothing that deep. was it?
“i didn’t think i was ever going to get the opportunity to love again.” you spoke, taking him by surprise.
“i– i’m listening.” he responded plainly as to not get his hopes up too fast, but something was starting to hint at him why he was here.
“woon, when you took me out, i had the most fun i’ve ever felt in a really long time. there was a sense of longing there, and it made me feel like i was a teenager experiencing puppy love again.” you began.
“but you are a teenager?”
“if you ruin the moment i will kill you, i’m in distress right now.” you squint at him trying to hold back a laugh, before his hand appears to rub circles into your back.
“i’m sorry, i’m sorry. let me hear you.” he snaps himself back into focus.
“fuck i don’t know what to say anymore or else i’ll probably start laughing.” you groan, pressing light punches against woonhak’s leg.
“then you can show me..?” he states boldly, though that doesn’t hide his flustered expression.
“you’re so extremely stupid, you know that?” you confess, wrapping your arms around the back of his neck to pull him close, enveloping him in a kiss he could only dream about.
his slightly chapped lips moved against yours, cold from the night air. this didn’t last for long, as the warmth that spread from each of your lips, spread to your cheeks, then your body. in this moment, woonhak’s touch was all you could think about.
as soon as you pulled away, the both of you bursted out laughing. it was such an odd situation, being so extremely emotional with him to joyful in seconds. you were relieved when you knew he felt this too. he took it upon himself to hug you tightly, refusing to let you go.
“i was so scared that i was going to end up dying alone because of that stupid guy.” your words are muffled into his shoulder, “i can’t believe i didn’t open my eyes sooner, because you were right in front of me this whole time.”
“i just want you to be happy, y/n. i would’ve been by your side the whole way.” he whispers, placing the tiniest smooch in the crook of your neck.
“i’m happy now, happier than i ever been.” you smile.
“there’s still so many places that i have to grow on my own, so i don’t think it would be fair for me to date you right now.” you admit, scared of how he’ll react.
“that’s– completely understandable. you deserve time to work on yourself, and it hasn’t even been that long yet! teach me about yourself, y/n. please?” he moves his head away from your neck, cupping your face.
“okay. i choose you, woonhak.”
“you already know what i’m going to say to that.” “maybe it’s not too late to go pick jaehyun..”
“okay now don’t get ahead of yourself there..”

I wonder if we'll finally be able to catch the Eternal Flower Floette.
So in case you don't remember, in X and Y, there's a character named AZ, who had this Floette. This Floette is different from the rest of them, looking like this:
Tumblr media
A lot of players wanted to catch this Floette, but it's not possible to (legally) obtain it. What's interesting though is that it seems like at some point you could have caught it. It's base stats are higher than normal Floettes, it has a shiny variant, and most interesting of all, an unused signature move, Light of Ruin. And this move isn't just some junk placeholder, it has it's own animations and move description. It would even get a pokedex entry in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, way after this Floette was important. And despite it having no data in the Switch games and it being impossible to import a hacked one from the 3DS games, it still has a unique Pokemon home sprite.
My theory on why this is, is that it probably was going to be an event Pokemon, but was never released. This isn't the first time this has happened (the Azure Flue for DPP), so it likely that's what happened here.
But back to Legends Z-A, why do I think we might catch Eternal Flower Floette (EFF)?
As of right now, we don't know when ZA takes place, either before X and Y or. If it takes place before we likely won't get it bc that would mess in X and Y's canon. (TBF it doesn't really seem like the Pokemon company cares that much about canon, so there's a slim chance we might get the EEF.) But if it's after X and Y. The odds of encountering it is much more likely.
The EFF and AZ play an important role in the story of X and Y. AZ was the one who had built the ultimate weapon that Lysandre tried to used to kill off all life with. After you destroy the ultimate weapon and free AZ, he is reunited with his Floette. (Fun fact: this is where the "It's been 3000 years" meme came from.) If this is a sequel, there's a high chance of them showing up.
It wouldn't be the first time a Pokemon game added in previously cut content. The previously mentioned Azure Flute was finally put into Legends: Arceus, and Zygarde had two unobtainable moves in gen 6, that they wouldn't get legitimately until gen 7. So it wouldn't be all that strange if they brought them back.
Now I have no idea how'd you would get EFF in Z-A. Due to story reasons I doubt AZ would just give it to you, but who knows.
Another possibility could be that you never get the EFF in Z-A. Instead they could be a Pokemon Home mystery gift to celebrate Z-A's release. They've done this before, like getting the Shiny Zeraora. Or have it be an event in Go, like Meltan or Roaming Gimmeghoul.
TLDR: Game Freak has added in previously unobtainable content back into a future games and The EFF and their owner AZ played a big role in X and Y, so they're likely to return. Or it could be a Pokemon Home Gift or a Go event.

Hello! Can you do a Milo x Reader where they just do Wooloo herding together?
This is too cute ❤️ I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Milo x reader - Round up (SFW)
Walking out to the field, you can't help but to notice how spread out all of the Wooloo were. Things were a mess on the farm this week, which was why Milo had asked you to come by and help him out. Normally he didn't want to bother you with physical work like this even though you offered often.
You could see the buff male standing near a fence with his hand up on his head, stretching as he takes everyone in and considers how he was going to do this.
"Milo!" You call and he turns, smiling at the sight of you. In a cute pair of overalls and a hat to keep the sun off of your face, you were ready to go. He couldn't help but to find you absolutely precious like that. Something about seeing you ready to get your hands dirty made his heart beat faster in his chest.
"There you are, Y/N! Thanks for coming." He beams at you, excited you were there and willing to help with this. "Okay, so we need to get them out of this pasture and into the one over there." He points a ways off where it was easy to see the grass was untouched by the pokemon. They had to rotate them around to give the grass a chance to grow back between.
"Got it! Easy." You say in a teasing way, knowing it wasn't going to be that simple, though you were very excited to help. He motions you along toward the fence. "So basically you hold your arms out and sort of gently move around them to make them go. We need to keep them herded together so they don't end up in the wrong place, okay?" He looked so cute when he was being serious. Despite that, he was still smiling.
"Got it!" With that, he holds your hand as you clambor over the fence and into their pasture. The wooloo bleat and scurry away. They were all riled up because they could sense a change was coming, running around and bleating noisily. You giggle as you move around the edge of the fence to get to the other side while Milo took his side. He opened up the gate and started to make a clicking noise at them. "Go on, friends!" He calls gently and you start to move with your arms spread out, the pokemon scooting along as expected.
Moving along the other side of the herd, he also held his arms out, leading them along through the gate with you. It made you giggle the way you were both T-posing at these pokemon. You knew there was an important purpose but it still looked so silly.
It didn't take too long with your teamwork to get everyone moved and the gate closed. Once they were where they were supposed to be, they had calmed down significantly. Many of them now around your legs and bonking against you and Milo both, wanting attention from you.
"You guys are ridiculous." He laughs joyously, loving all of the wooloo dearly. As he moves over to put an arm around you and pull you into a hug, the jealous pokemon bleat at you both, also wanting attention.
With a laugh, you lean down with him so you can pet those soft babies. Their heads and soft noses that snuffle and nibble at your fingers. They press their woolly bodies up against you as you pet over them with Milo.
He couldn't help that he was admiring you. Your smile perfect in the sunlight. You were perfect to him. He couldn't stand it, pulling you against his body to hold you in a soft, firm hug before loosening his grip again. He would definitely be taking you up on the offer to help more often.
Seeing you out here like this had him feeling very deep in love. "What's that look for?" You ask him curiously, but he smiles and shakes his head, unable to explain the way he felt for you.

Character Thomas Brodie Sangster
Couple Thomas X Reader
Rating Sweet + Sad
Concept Helping
Warnings Depression and self-harm
I was admittedly a little nervous. But I had to do it. I'd been away filming in Australia for about nine months without a break to come home it was amazing as working always is especially doing something this big and honestly this good. Even if I had definitely had a few big waves of homesickness the sort I never had before after all my years in this job. 
I guess that was because of y/n. 
I'd always had girlfriends of course and a lot of the time they were always who I missed the most. But y/n's different. 
We'd been friends for years and eventually after a lot of pushing and nervous dates we became a couple. And I've never been happier, she was everything I wanted and everything I needed. Honestly I wanted to marry her but we haven't even been dating for a year. I imagine everyone would go a little mad if I tried to marry her now. 
But I was worried. She's been dealing with alot and I know she hasn't been doing well, she wasn't that great before I left and I made a point to make sure even though I was literally the other side of the planet I wanted to make sure I called, texted her, left her messages and sent her home presents trying to make sure she didn't feel abandoned while I was gone. 
Of course now I'm home I wanted nothing else in the world then to see her. Even if Jack had warned me when he picked me up she that she hadn't been good. Apparently there was some issues with her boss and she went down a bit of a depressive spiral while I was gone. It did unfortunately happen to her alot but usually I'd be here to help her or atleast talk her down on the phone if I was away. I felt awful for abandoning her while I was gone but I had cleared my calendar now I'm back so I could see her and hopefully take care of her as best I could. 
I didn't know just how bad she would be. I didn't wanna ask and I doubt jack really knew anyway, I know about her boss and about the situation so I wasn't imagining it being good. 
I arrived at her little London apartment on the first floor of what was once a basic three floor London town house since it was split by her landline into three one floor apartments. She has the ground floor meaning she also has a small back garden. I went up to her little purple door giving it a firm rhythmic knock holding the strap of my leather bag as I waited on her doorstep. No answer, that's strange? So I knocked again this time a little louder. Perhaps she was in the garden and couldn't hear me, or maybe stood beside her impossibly loud kettle. But still no answer. So I grabbed my phone and called her after about four rings. She answered, sounding quiet and snuffy like she'd been crying "hello?"
"Hey honey I'm outside" 
"Ohh I'm coming" she says hanging up the phone I waited a minute more and she pulled open the door, she stood on her door mat in her little bear claw slippers, long blue gingham pj pants that I'm convinced I once owned but clearly not anymore, her extra large pokemon hoodie with snorlax on the front, her hair up in a messy matted bun with one of her usual spotted fabric ties to hold it up. No make up her face red, dirty and a little spotty. But I didn't care I was so happy to see her 
"Hi honeybear" I smiled giving her a tight squeeze and a kiss "I've missed you"
"I missed you too Thomas" she says even if she didn't cuddle me back
"Can I come in?" I asked given we had been on her doorstep for a good minute or two now 
"Uhhhhh… well I guess" she sighed letting me in shutting the door behind me as I headed into her little apartment.
I did my best not to react. In anyway. As I know that would make her feel worse. The kitchen was full of dishes and cups and bags of trash by the back door. The floor was dirty and dusty with clothes and bags littered across it. A dominos pizza box with God only knows how old half a pizza in it. Her bed unmade things all over her bedroom and bathroom too. Everything dirty, dusty and messy the whole place has a smell of old food and unwashed… everything it actually seemed as if she hadn't even cleaned or hoovered since I left and honestly by the look and smell of her I'm not sure she'd showered either. And even though the place was a tip she just pushed some laundry to the side and sat down on the sofa with a blanket and her little build a Bear brown teddy wearing bee clothes I made her when we first started dating.
"Uuuuuuuhhh… fuck. I uhhh I didn't think it would be this bad"
"Sorry"
"No no it's uhhh" I began sitting in the chair as best I could "y/n? How'd it get like this?"
"I don't know. Just did I guess everything kinda just exploded and I had to stop and… now I don't really know how to start again,"
"Ohh you poor thing. You see that it's bad right?"
"I see it. I just… don't know where to begin"
"Well sitting in all this isn't going to help I know it's hard sometimes physically impossible but in here now. And I promise I'm going to help as much or as little as you want me too" I told her giving her head a kiss "okay?"
"Okay" she nods 
"That's my girl" I cooed "first things first trash because trash is easy" I smiled "I'll do that okay, give you some space to breathe" 
I got up and began gathering things up and throwing them away or into the washing pile In Front of her machine just giving it a once over to give us some room to focus until I got to the table "I'm going to be brave here. How long has this been here?"
"I don't remember"
"When did you last order pizza?"
"Yesterday"
"This has been here longer the yesterday"
"Three weeks ago" 
"Oh my god. Okay," I sighed quickly getting it into a bag without touching or breathing close to it and she began to cry "whoa whoa what's wrong?" I asked giving her a hug as she cried 
"I'm sorry"
"What are you sorry for?"
"Your mad at me"
"I'm not mad at you, I'm not angry at your honeybear I promise I'm not. I'm not angry with you I'm worried about you. You could have gotten so sick just from having that in your living room. You could have gotten really sick." I told her 
"I'm sorry I don't know how it all got like this"
"It's alright I know how hard it is sometimes. How about you take buzzy and get a little nap okay" I told her handing her the bear
"But that's-"
"Please. Get some rest don't worry your head it'll do you good" I told her she nods and slithered away to her room so I tucked her in and gave her a kiss "have a nice nap my little honeybear I'll take care of you" 
I shut her door quietly and waiting till I could hear her sleeping and I cleaned up everything I could throwing away all the trash putting on a few loads of laundry, I dusted and hoovered and even did all her dishes putting them all away for her I even put on one of her nice wax melts to make the place smell nice. Often sneaking into her room to clean around her bed for her. Even setting her blankets and pillows on the sofa with her little bears so we could cuddle later. She was still asleep so I got my phone and ordered some groceries for delivery as she had no food in the house now, filling her fridge and cupboards to the brim with her favorite snacks, her favorite foods, favorite drinks and making sure to put a bunch of her favorite ice pops in the freezer for her. Once all sorted I smiled and went to her bedroom "honeybear? Helloooooo?" I whispered crawling into her bed peppering her and her teddy with kisses "ummmm hello" I smiled as she began to stir 
"Hello Thomas" she cracked a small smile 
"Did you have a nice nap?"
"I did"
"Hey, how's about I run you a beautiful bubble bath? Hey? I know you love your bubble baths when did you last have one?"
"I can't remember"
"Uhhh not to be rude y/n how long has it been since you had a shower?"
"I honestly don't remember"
"Yeah didn't wanna say anything but… yeah. I can tell you on your period cause of smells right now"
"I'm not"
"Ohh god. Okay I will run you a nice very bubbly bath" I told her"and maybe we wash buzzy?" 
"Okay" she sighed handing over the bear which I quickly put in the machine to wash and dry so it would be ready when she got out her bath I went to her bathroom and ran her a nice hot bath with muscle soak, bubble bath, btah salts, bath… potion? Whatever it is it's going in, all of it lavender or flower scented to keep it all in theme, I got her two bath bombs the first an extra large purple lust bath bomb so scented I'm convinced I may have eaten some I tasted so much on my tounge in fact the bath bomb in her bath the wax melt in the living room were having a scent fight. And I also got her a nice lilac love heart that I sat on her little bath bridge with her scrunchie and her favourite fancy body wash she usually only uses for going out, as well as her honey shampoo and conditioner as they always made her smile and of course they were the reason I called her my honey bear as on an early date as we cuddled up her hair smelt so much of honey I was actually convinced she may have put honey on her head and we laughed about it and had some honey on toast ever since I'd called her honeybear. Once the bath was run and perfect I fetched her "come on little bear time for your bath"
"Fine" she sighed slowly coming in 
"You get in and relax while I change your bed okay"
"You don't have to-"
"Get in the tub. Or I'll sheep dip you" I warn her 
"Noooo" she whines
"Go on then" I told her so she began to get changed admittedly I couldn't help but look at her having missed her so badly while I was gone but i gave her some privacy and headed back to her bedroom stripping off her bed and immediately three the sheets away I'm not going to try and wash them just throw them away I'll buy her new ones. I went back tidied her room for her flipping the mattress and making the bed with her favorite bedding the little duvet cover and pillow cases white on one side with little bees doing loop the loops and the other side dark orange honeycomb pattern making her bed up with her blankets and pillows and a special place for her bear once he was done in the Washing machine. I imagined y/n would be back by now but she hadn't so I went to the bathroom seeing her sat in the water surrounded by bubbles her legs pulled to her chest 
"Ohh y/n" I went over getting a little chair and moving to sit beside her tub at first rubbing her skin with the bubbles "would you like some help?" I asked and she nods "okay, take your ribbon out and we'll wash your hair"
"I did" she says handing me the ribbon she had in her hair and yet her hair hadn't moved 
"Okay" well that's a problem.
I got her brush and her conditioner as I would definitely be needing it slowly but surely Washing her hair using her nice shampoo and conditioner brushing the matted knots out of her hair it was clear she'd put it up like this just after I left and hadn't done anything with it since. She was often teary but I always have her kisses and reassured her I imagine it likely hurt alot as I brushed and brushed and brushed using pretty much the whole bottle of conditioner. "There we go all beautiful again" I cooed giving her cheek a kiss as I finished with her hair "hey all pretty. Now you can have your nice … well now lukewarm bath" I told her gently and playfully helping her as she slowly came out of this sadness I was stopped however upon seeing her arms and her thighs that she had done her best to keep hidden all this time I didn't mention in even if I knew some where fresh I just held her hand and brought her arm over giving her skin a million kisses 
"Are you upset with me?" She asks
"No. No I'm not it's okay. I just wish you'd role me you wh re feeling that bad. Please I don't want things to get this bad again I'm not upset I'm not blaming you. Just please of it gets this bad please tell me. You know if have thrown home months earlier if id known you were feeling this bad" 
"I know. I didn't want to be any trouble"
"It's no trouble really. I'd rather you tell me so I can come home and help you rather then… having to clean up the aftermath. I love you you know I do. hey. my little honeybear. I'm not going anywhere not till your better"
"What if I'm never any better"
"Then I'm not going anywhere. Ever again." I told her "your more important that my job. Always." I told her "you enjoy the rest of your bath I'll get you some nice clean clothes and your teddy okay? Then we'll make cheesy pie," I told her giving her one more kiss and heading out
"Thomas?"
"Yeah?" 
"Thank you"
"Your welcome"
"I love you very much*
"I love you more"

SERO X READER COMFORT BREAKDOWN
Univers : Mha
Ship : Sero hanta x reader
Pronouns : He/They
Tw : Mental break down, crying, thoughts of self harming, feeling overwhelmed, weed, panic attacks…
Context : You we’re just hanging out with your boyfriend and your group of friends when suddenly, you broke down.
11 pm, Friday night, Mina’s dorm
It was such a pleasing feeling, being surrounded by people you love, laughing and smoking with them.
It felt good honestly, except that, you didn’t feel completely good, actually you felt terrible.
Your mental health was getting worse and worse every day, you were getting more exhausted after every night, and the worst, you never said a word about this thing. You just couldn’t, it was too hard, felt like the whole world would be watching you if you even said a single word about how you felt. So you just lived with this suffocating feeling of letting yourself die. Everything was too much, each noises, each feeling, each breath that you took, they all felt like too much.
Expect when you were in his arms, in her dorm, with some drugs in your veins. You were high, on the floor, in Sero's arms, in Mina's dorm, feeling like you were floating on some pink clouds and that nothing mattered anymore. Your stupid mind wasn't shouting at you, your stomach didn't ache. You could smell your boyfriend's perfume, god you loved that smell, you could feel your back against his torso, such an euphoric feeling.
Mina, high asf : So y/n tell me, what's that shit on your thigh ?
you laughed
Y/N : You're the shit mina, you kept on laughing.
Denki : what are you guys talking about ? ouuuh let me guess!! pokemon ?!
Every person in the room bursted out laughing
Jiro : I think Mina talked about... someone thigh ?
Sero : Why are we talking about tights?? do you wanna start doing ballet Y/N ?
Y/N : What the hell babe, you laughed
Denki : Oh shit, now I see whats Mina talking about, he laughed nervously. The fuck happened man ?
Y/N : Okay GuYs I don't KnOW what ya'll are tAlKinG-
shit
Now you've realized what they meant. You wore shorts, short shorts, some of your sh scars were very fresh and were now seeable by your friends.
You've never sobered up this fast in your entire life. You were not on your pink clouds anymore, your head was now racing, screaming, and everything felt like walking on liquid acid. They knew, maybe they didn't understand, but they all saw it.
Y/N : Alright, you guys stay here, i'll be right back ok ? Your face was incredibly pale, like you've just seen a ghost, your own ghost.
You got up, almost fell 3 times and ran out of Mina's dorm. You ran, ran again and again, you couldn't stop even though you were already hyperventilating. It was too much, you failed yourself. You failed, again, you failed to hide, you didn't hide. You couldn't stop running, you had to go as far away as you could. You never felt so stupid, you had one job, to not show signs of your bad mental health, and you FAILED. You felt like you just failed everything, being normal, happy, confident. Nothing worked out like you planed it.
SHIT
At some point you just stopped in a random hallway, no human near to be seen. You fell to your knees and cried. Not like a sad man, more like a frustrated child, who didn't eat and couldn't find his favorite toy. You were just like this child, you didn't anything that day, and you couldn't find a way to be happy.
Everything around you was spinning, your heart was threatening to burst through your chest, your spine was turning into a strange stone-like sensation. Nothing felt comfortable. What the hell was happening to you? You've never felt this way, you've had panic attacks in the past, but this was way worse, and different. It was like you were about to pass out and dye, in this random hallway, where no human were near to be seen.
Well accept one, your ghost.
Sero was there, standing 3 feet away from you, watching your last bit of sanity vanishing away from you. He looked like he had been running, he's almost as sweaty you. Probably because he ran after you, when you left Mina's dorm room. He didn't understand why you left running like that, you looked so worried and panicked that he couldn't help but follow you.
From your point of view, you couldn't see him clearly, your vision was very blurry and your head was making it impossible to concentrate. But you still understood that he slowly approached you and knelled down to your level.
Sero : Y/N ? Can you hear me sweetheart ?
Obviously you couldn't respond with words, how could you though.. You were not breathing well at all and you didn't understand what was going on. So you just lifted your head and looked at him.
Sero : Hi baby it's me. Im here now. Can i get closer ? Can I touch you ?
With the last bit of strength you had, you nodded and started sobbing like you never did before. Sero felt his heart shatter to a million of pieces, you, the person he loved, his darling, was in distress, and his hero heart couldn't do anything to make it all better. So he got closer to you and held you, trying to protect you from whatever demon was attacking you.
Sero : It's gonna be okay, I swear you will get through this, you will i promise.
Y/N : It hurts ! Please make it stop, please ! You said, sobbing, gripping on to his shirt
Sero : It okay baby, I’m here. See ? I’m here! Just breath, breath with me.
Sero didn’t care that you were in the middle of a hallway, in pyjamas, at 4 am. All his attention was on you, and how he could help you. You’re is world, and seeing you hurt just makes him feel so bad.
Sero held you close, caressing your hair, making sure you were breathing. It took you maybe 20 minutes to have a slower breathing pattern, your lungs were still icky but were not burning as much.
Sero : Sweetheart ? Hey. Can you look at me ?
You lifted your head up, your eyes met his. He looked so concerned. Yet, the moon light made his face glow, making him look beautiful.
You never realized that Sero has always been by your side. Ever since you’ve been in a relationship, whenever you asked for help, he was right by your side, doing his best to help you. You felt guilty, you never truly thanked him, he did and does so much, couldn’t you be grateful ? Before the thoughts started to attack you, you felt your body lift up from the floor.
Sero : okay so ! Since I’ve asked you 3 times wherever I should take you to my dorm or not, and you never answered, I’ll be taking this as a yes.
Y/n : Oh.. okay. Thank you by the way
Sero : It’s okay. But, we are gonna need to talk sweet thing. I’ve never seen somebody loose their shit like you just did. I’m worried about you. Please talk to me, I’m here for you.
Y/N : i know ! But it’s just so hard to open up. It’s complicated and scary and..
Sero : Breath, we’ll talk about this tomorrow. Now just try to relax in my arms. The dorm is about 10 minutes away, you’ll be okay ?
Y/N : mhm. Thank you sero, I really love you. You do so much for me, and all I do is always ask for more help. I’m sorry about that, promise I’ll work on it. I love you. You said before passing out in his arms. You poor thing, you were so exhausted.
Sero : Mhm, sleep tight. Tomorrow will be a big day, but for now just rest. I love you too.

From the prompt list, can I get an Ingo x Reader with prompt 20, I could see Ingo waking up too earlier and see Reader doing something instead of sleeping (it's up to you on what's Reader was doing)
authors note: u sure can honeybee!! hopefully, this is a-okay!! there might be,,, a few mistakes,,, bc I am writing this at 3AM help I'm matching the prompt JSNG
prompt: “It’s three in the morning…”
tags: gender-neutral reader and this is a bit silly <3
Ingo was usually a heavy sleeper. Note, usually. So when the heavy clatter of pots and pans met his ears one fateful night, the poor conductor had no choice but to get out of bed to figure out what was going on. 
As he began his journey downstairs, he figured it would not hurt to start thinking about what was happening below. 
His first thought was his Crustle. The bug type did have a bad habit of going into the cupboard to play with the Exadrill when it was a Drillbur. Often he, or his beloved partner, had to reach in to grab both Pokemon to keep things within the cupboard pristine. Those were fond memories, ones he held close to his heart. And yet he cannot help but remember the damage done inside the cupboard and to his appliances. 
But Crustle had lost its interest in the cuddy some time ago, a few months after it evolved.
So maybe it was Haxorous? The dragon-type was always known to go into the kitchen late at night to see if it could sneak a quick bite to eat. 
Chandelure was out of the picture. Ingo was looking right at it as he walked down the hall towards the staircase. 
Excadrill couldn't have caused all that noise, as it decided to sleep outside in the garden where it felt more at home underground. His Durant and Klinklang always slept in the tub for some odd reason- Ah, never mind that. He had to get down to the bottom of all this ruckus! 
As his feet met the plush carpet of the stairs, he began to wonder if it was Emmet. He did have the bad habit of making too much noise, awake or asleep. So he was already preparing a scolding for his younger brother. Surely Emmet would understand that he shouldn’t be making so much noise! What would their neighbors think? Or his beloved Y/N- 
“Hi, honey.” 
Ingo had to rub his eyes and blink twice in order to take in the sight before him. There you sat, clad only in the oversized shirt he had gifted you when you first started dating in college, and around you where most of his Pokemon. 
Crustle sat comfortably next to you, chowing down an Occa berry. 
Haxorus laid behind you, half-conscious eating its Yache berry, with Exadril covered head to toe in dirt next to Haxorus. Sat in its pile of soil kicking its feet while it ate whatever was in its claws. 
“Y/N,” Ingo took in the deepest breath he could muster in an attempt to collect his patience before looking over at the oven's clock. “Y/N. It is three in the morning...” 
“Yeah, I know.” 
“Then why are you awake?” 
With a shrug you leaned back against Haxorus, throwing a foot over the other to take on a much more lazy posture. You scratched at Crustle’s rock shell before giving him an explanation. “I was hungry, and so were your Pokemon. So we got ourselves a bit of a snack before hitting the hay.” 
Your explanation was easy and straight to the point, just how Ingo liked it. You knew that. You watched as his tired expression grew confused for a moment before softening. “Then what was all of that noise, dearest?” He at least needed an explanation for that. 
He looked around and didn’t see any of their pristine iron pans anywhere, so he wondered if maybe they cleaned up before he reached the kitchen. However, you glanced at your boyfriend’s Pokemon and they nervously glanced back. Sharing your same energy. 
Everyone collectively refused to make eye contact and continued to eat in silence. 
“Y/N. What was that noise?” Ingo repeating himself made your ass cheeks clench, so with an awkward swallow, you cleared your throat. “Durant got in the cupboards because it saw Crustle trying to get in there, and now we don’t know where it is.” You admitted rather bashfully, finally looking up to make eye contact with Ingo who now looked at his wit's end. 
“I-I promise we’re looking for it! Klinklang is scanning the perimeter and we’ll have it back before morning-” 
“I’m going back to bed, love. Goodnight. And goodnight to you all as well.” The Subway master offered a loving pat to each one of his Pokemon’s heads before leaning down to give you a sweet kiss. And as much as you wanted to enjoy it, you paused when Ingo looked down at you with his hand settled behind your neck. 
“If any of our pots or pans are chewed or destroyed by Durant… You’re buying us a new set.” And with that Ingo went straight to bed while you and your boyfriend’s team frantically searched the cupboard for the steel ant Pokemon. Hoping and praying it wasn't craving any aluminum or stainless steel.

Grey x reader
Requested over on ao3! Sorry if this seems a little rushed, I was half asleep while writing this
You and Grey have been trapped in this ridiculous bootleg world for way too long, to the point you don’t even remember how long it’s been, as there’s no way of keeping time in this world. You have been trying whatever you could possibly think of to get the two of you out of here, while Grey is all for the idea, he’s afraid of how Shinto would react to you two leaving.
However, it was with Shinto’s help that you two had managed to get out of the bootleg Pokemon world, after promising her that she won’t be left alone, as that was what she was afraid of. So, in order to uphold your promise, you carry around the handheld console (can be ds, 3ds, whatever you want it to be), and occasionally check up on her.
You and Grey had only returned to the real world for about two to three days, and you spent most of that time resting and just… catching up on everything you two missed during your time in the bootleg game. Now the two of you were just resting on the couch, watching a movie (or tv show of choice), when a sudden thought came to your mind.
“Hey, Grey..?” You looked over at the raven haired boy sitting beside you on the couch, who looked back at you as you said his name.
“Yeah?”
“Let’s go out and see the stars tonight.”
“Oh, uh, sure, if that’s what you want to do, Y/n.”
“That’s what I want to do, Grey. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to really get out and do any kind of stargazing, plus… that bootleg world didn’t really have a night sky, especially not one as pretty as this world.”
“Heh.. i guess that is true. Alright, let’s go stargazing tonight.”
“Sweet.” You went back to resting your head on his shoulder, watching the movie/tv show with him.
Later that evening, you were practically dragging Grey outside by the hand, looking back at him every few moments, a bright smile on your face. Grey just chuckled a bit in response and followed after you, holding your hand back, and holding a blanket for you two to lie on. Fortunately you didn’t plan on going too far, as there was a big hill for you two to climb up to you and stargaze from there, and it was only a very short walk from your house.
Once there, Grey set the blanket down for you two, which you lie down on, with him sitting beside you.
“Do you know of any constellations, Grey?” You asked him as you glanced back at him. He was quiet for a few moments before he shook his head, looking back at you.
“Hmm.. not really. What about you?”
“A few. It’s been a little while though, so I could be wrong on these.” You chuckled a bit as you point up at a group of stars, tracing them out with your fingers,
“That there…” you had to think about it for a moment, “…I forgot.” You laughed a bit, and Grey did as well, shaking his head.
“Oh Y/n. Well… it’s better than I could’ve done, though.”
“That is true.” You shrugged in response, a faint smile on your face. It was silent for a few moments, but a comfortable one, as you two stared up at the stars above you, enjoying the starry night sky.
“You know, Y/n? You were right. The stars are much more beautiful here than that bootleg world.”
“I told you.” You smiled more, keeping your eyes on the stars above. “I’m glad we were able to make it back here.”
“You and me both. And the best part about it… is that you’re here with me.”
“Oh, Grey, you goof.” You sat up, and pulled him into a hug, which he happily returned. “I’m… glad you’re here with me, too.”
“Thank you… for coming out here to stargaze with me.” You said, a faint smile on your face.
“Of course, Y/n. It’s not a problem, you know how much I enjoy being around you and spending time together with you.”
“You’re too cute, Grey.” You lightly booped his nose and lie back down. Grey was a little surprised by the sudden nose boop before he shook his head and lied down beside you once more. Once more, you were met with a comfortable silence, but you didn’t mind it at all. That is… until Grey broke the silence,
“We should… probably get back soon.”
“Yeah, but I want to stay out here for a little while longer. Please?”
“Oh, alright.” And you did. You two stayed out for a while longer, about a few hours, just talking about the stars and other things that popped into your minds, until you started getting tired, and you packed up your blanket, and headed home to get something sleep for the night.

I was always really sick as a kid. My mom gave me some nasty medicine to finally kick my bronchitis. I was 6 years old.
Tumblr media
I took my final dose, the entire bottle of that awful, bitter syrup finally empty after eight weeks. My mom congratulated me, and gave me a present.
Tumblr media
It's something I had been asking for a while, but completely forgot about with my illness. As soon as I saw that green case, I knew things were going to get better.
Tumblr media
That was my very first Pokemon game. But certainly not my last.
Tumblr media
Leaf Green. Age 7. Starter: Bulby the Bulbasaur. I was very creative.
Emerald. Age 9. Starter: Kipper the Mudkip. Hoenn was, and still is, favourite season of the Pokemon anime.
Pearl. Age 10. Starter: Torch the Chimchar. I remember drawing Pokemon in class instead of studying.
Heart Gold. Age 12. Starter: Sneezer the Cyndaquil. I was at a very awkward point in my life. high school was on the horizon, and Pokemon was a safe haven for me to destress. Heart Gold remained my favourite version.
White. Age 14. Starter: Vesuvius the Tepig. I was in my goth phase, and the other starters looked too pretty for my current tastes. A boy told me Tepig was a good choice, despite Oshawott being superior.
X. Age 16. Starter: Nutella the Chespin. When I showed up to school, i immediately challenged that boy to a battle. I was delighted to discover he had chosen Y version. We would continue to play together for the rest of our lives.
Moon. Age 19. Starter: Claude the Rowlett. I drove that boy and I to Walmart at 8 AM, waiting in the cold as the employees unlocked the front doors. We raced to the electronics aisle, and eagerly queued in line for the games. I emailed my college professor that I would be sick that day. The boy and I lazed in bed all day with our 3DS's and Rowlett and Popplio.
Shield. Age 22. Starter: Tim-Tam the Grookey. That boy teased me that Zamazenta looked silly compared to Zacian, but I didn't care. With our Switches charged up, we spent the weekend battling before every gym challenge to check each others' progress. He preferred grinding, I preferred dressing up my trainer and making curry for my Pokemon.
And at last, we come to Scarlet and Violet. Though I can't anticipate what will await us in these new titles, all I know is that as we step into these worlds of treasure, the ancient past, and the exciting future, I'll have both my Pokemon and my love beside me.

Love Doesn't Do Encores Ch4 The First Battle
(How many readers would be interested in seeing a Leon x Reader side to this story as well? If I get enough participants voting yes, I might make this into a Leon x Reader x Piers story.)
Tumblr media
You were asleep. Deeply fast asleep. Which is why when something violently shook you awake you snorted and sort of panicked sitting up as whoever was still shaking you kept going. For a moment you were back home. Back with your mother shaking you violently awake to get ready for school so you got up before she could scold you- but those conclusions were dashed out the window when the normal sight of Gloria came into your view. Your sobble had been spooked with a squeal and clambered onto the back of the couch in front from the rude awakening Gloria gave you both.
"Y/N!! WAKE UP!! Today's the big day!," she shouted in your ear which made you wake fully and blink at her. 
"Gloria??....Wha-"
"Leon's supervising my first pokemon battle today! C'mon!! You don't want to miss it do you!?"
...OH! Right. The memories of last night came flooding back to you as you yawned and stretched out your body tiredly. So you were still here. Food smells wafted in from the kitchen and you were encouraged to get up more from that alone. 
"Gloria!" The teen stopped and looked up towards the kitchen where the voice came from. You guessed Gloria's Mum must've been cooking breakfast for the two of you. "Now don't you go shaking her around like a ragdoll. If you want to do something, come in here and feed Munchy and your new pokemon. They're making a racket in here begging to be fed."
Gloria blinked. "Oh! Right!" Before running off towards the kitchen and it gave you time to wake up. Tiredly, you gathered your old bag and clothes and shuffled towards the bathroom. Sprucing yourself up and coming out in the clothes Gloria's mother had given you previously much more awake, but now with the added weight of the pokeball in your overalls' pocket. Must've been for your Sobble. Once you got back to sit back to the coach and sat down a plate of two pancakes covered in syurp and Gloria already eating a plate of the same thing was waiting for you. At her feet was your sobble and her scorbunny already eating more of that kibble stuff from their bowls. She waved a fork at you as you sat back down. "Hey! Mum left you breakfast. She wanted us to eat before we left anyways."
"Oh. That was nice of her." You smiled as you took the food from the small coffee table. "Where is she now?"
She pointed over her shoulder towards a door. "In the back garden with Munchlax. She wanted to finish planting some more lettace and try to see if she could catch the Bedew that likes to hang out around there."
Your mind went back to the bedew you saw when you first left Gloria's house and wondered if they were the same one for a moment. As you ate Gloria and the pokemon finished long before you did and by the time you did finish, the three were ready to go. And you guessed you were too considering you had a feeling Gloria was going to drag you along with her whether you like it or not. And she did. Rushing you out of the house and down the steps towards the road towards Hop's home again. And guess who was already waiting for you two outside. Hop seemed excited to see Gloria again and waved hi to her and Leon seemed Surprised but happy to see you too with her, but greeted you none the less when you approuched. 
"Hey Glory! Y/n! What a nice surprise seeing you too."
"Uh, thanks! Good morning," You replied watching as the two teens and their pokemon chatted a bit.
"And I see your new friend is settling in nicely," he replied pointing to your shoulder where the tiny sobble chittered at him.
"Oh!" You hadn't even noticed he had climbed on you before the two of you left the house. But nodded. "Yeah. He seems to be well behaved thanks."
He nodded. "Well it's nice to you see you two getting along well." He turned back to the two children in front of him next and they instantly perked up as he placed his hands on his hips and gave a 'im going to win this' smile. "Now then. Down to business. You spent the whole night with that new partner of yours, right, Hop? You two getting on all right? Understanding one another? Maybe even built up a bit of love?"
"Course I have, Lee!," Hop confirmed proudly, "Gloria's made fast friends with her scorbunny, too!"
"Naturally I would!"
"Then listen up, new Trainers! Believe in yourself and your pokemon! If you trust in one another and carry on battling side by side long enough, then someday you might even become worthy rivals for me, the undefeatable Champion!" His bright gold eyes turned to Gloria looking her over for a moment and Hop caught on quick.
"What're you looking at her for, Lee?," Hop asked raising a brow, "I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you!" But a soon reaization came over him before he snapped a challenging smile to Gloria. "If you think Gloria might be able to challenge you, then I guess she's my first rival!" Gloria blinked in surprise at her friend. "But I'm not planning to lose to her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable champion!"
"NO WAY!! SO I DO GET A RIVAL BEFORE MY JOURNEY TOO!! SWEET!!" She cheered with an equally challenging smile before pointing at Hop. "But don't get your head too big yet Hoppy. You may have more pokemon but that doesn't mean I can't catch up to you!" Scorbunny let out a squeak agreeing with it's master.
"Heh. Just having a pokemon with you doesn't make you a real trainer, you know. Proper trainers raise their pokemon up to be First-rate in battle, too!"
"Oh, and you think you're worthy of calling yourself a 'proper trainer' already, Hop?," Leon hummed and Hop froze under his older brother's smile, losing that challenging smile he had earlier. "Guess I'll be the judge of that. Let's see how you handle a battle against your friend, if she's up for it." He turned back to Gloria. "What do you say? Willing and ready to take Hop on in the first ever Pokemon battle of your life?"
"HECK YEAH I AM!!" Gloria confirmed loudly and holding her fists high.
"So am I! Don't think I'll back cuz you're a 'pretty girl'!"
"HA! The only thing that Im pretty at is pretty good at kicking your butt!!"
"Then it's settled!" Leon pointed to the battle area a few yards away from them. "Everyone to the field! Believe in your partner pokemon! And care for them, too, with all your heart! Do those two things and I'm certain you'll learn to chose the moves that suit your pokemon. And most importantly...to have a champion time battling with them!'' The two kids, with Hop getting his challenging spirit back took off towards the trainer area and you couldn't help but chuckle and Leon turned back to you. "Oh hey, Y/N. Did you want to try and battle too? Might come in handy with that Sobble of yours."
You waved a hand. "Nah. I'd much rather just watch. That's what Im here to do anyways, besides I think those two don't need me stealing their thunder today."
Leon smiled and chuckled. "Alright. But the offer still stands if you change your mind." He turned cape waving behind him, "In the mean time I better be the ref for those two. You might want to stand back by the grill as you watch in case of any misfires with their pokemon. This is they're first battle after all."
"Noted."
You walked back towards the grill and watched as Leon made his way over to the two already stationed there with the scorbunny and grookey and also watching as the Champion went right over and stopped midway between them. "RIGHT! Looks like everyone's on board, pokemon and trainers alike? Then's let's do this!" His hands went back to his hips. 
"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too!," Hop bragged challengly at Gloria doing his famous stance that looked very similar to Raihan's but had both his fists up, "I know exactly what to do in order to win!"
"Heh! We'll see about that!"
"This will be a one on one battle!'' Leon shouted. "The first one to make their opponent faint or knocked out of bounds wins! Let's begin you two!"
Scorbunny hopped flames at it's feet in challenge waiting for the grookey to- Hop pumped a fist at Gloria. "A pokemon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!" The same hand pulled back and tossed a pokeball to the arena to your surprise. "LET'S WIN WOOLOO!!" In a flash of light the sheep pokemon appeared before you all and baaed in challenge towards the scorbunny. You guess he wasn't starting with his Grookey like you thought.
"By now your pokemon should only know one or two moves at best being starter pokemon before your journies! So let's see how creative you two can be!" Leon pointed up. "BATTLE BEGIN!!''
You couldn't keep your eyes off them as you sat down nearly tripping over one of the green chairs before sitting down in one.
"SCORBUNNY!! USE GROWL TO PULL THE WOOL OVER THEIR EYES!!," Gloria yelled and pointed at their target as soon as those words left Leon's mouth. With lightning speed the scorbunny obeyed the command given to it and with a loud squeak it sent the move out in a flash of white and loud echo making Hop and his wooloo flinch from the sudden attack. He must've not expected the first move of Gloria's to be that quick you thought.
But he recovered quick with a scowl, pointing back. "WOOLOO USE TACKLE ON THE ENEMY!!" With a baa towards Scorbunny the wooloo curled into a ball and-
"REV YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND AND COUNTER THAT WITH TACKLE TOO USING YOUR FEET TO HIT IT!!," Gloria demanded in the middle of the command from Hop. And the scorbunny made a scowl and some kind of squeaky growl. You watched wide eyed as it stamped it's feet on the ground as fast as it could causing flames to rise from it. Leon hummed and rose a brow surprised and both you and Hop could only watch wide eyed as it generated enough flames by stomping to completely cover it's feet so when it squealed a battle cry and charged, it's feet were completely covered in flames.
"WOOLOO WAIT!! DODGE IT INSTEAD!!", he desperately shouted but by then it was too late to stop the on coming attack. With a squeal Scorbunny jumped at the very last second and used the force of the tackle to counter the force from it's opponents- Flames instantly engulfed the wooloo's wool as it was knocked back a few feet onto it's legs. ...Well  it seemed  to notice the flames on itself real quick. It baaed loudly in panic and began to run itself in a fennzy back and forth with the flames on itself. Hop seeming to panic too seeing the flames on his poor friend. All the while Leon watching calmly. "WOOLO-"
"SCORBUNNY USE GROWL AGAIN!! INTIMIDATE YOUR FOE!!" Another loud squeal noise came from the fire pokemon which only seemed to put the wooloo in an even crazier frenzy.
Hop gritted his teeth scowling and growl. "Rrrr!! Wooloo!! Stop, drop, and use tackle on them to put out the flames!!" Despite being in a panicked frenzy, you had to give credit when the baaing pokemon rolled instelf into a ball and finally managed to deliver a successful hit to his opponent. But because of it's defense being lowered by two growls, all it did to the Scorbunny was harmlessly knock it back a few feet unharmed. But it did sucessfully put out any flames on the wooloo's wool leaving only teeny tiny black markings where they once were calming it down. "That was a cheap trick, Glory!"
Gloria flipped her hair in victory. "What was so cheap about it? We came up with a unique way to use the fire generated from Scorbunny's feet to our advantage! The lesser the moves, the more creative you have to get-"
"WOOLOO TACKLE!!" Scorbunny squeaked in surprised and was actually sent head over heels a few feet away from a finally full on attack from the wooloo. Hop taking the moment in Gloria's talking to make a move. And though surprised at first she also scowled back at Hop's smiling face. "What? You said it yourself. The lesser the moves, the more creative you have to get."
"Tch. Yeah well jokes on you cuz Scorbunny knows a third move!!" She pointed. "SCORBUNNY USE EMBER!!" 
"YOU CAN ALREADY USE THAT?!" Hop looked wide eyed and scared as the scorbunny took a breath and released it-...only for a puff of smoke to fall out and Gloria froze jaw dropped......."USE TACKLE!!" Scorbunny squeaked again as it was again hit with the brunt of another spinning wooloo and Hop chuckled. "Don't you remember that a beginner's pokemon only learns that move after a lot of practice?"
"RRR!! Good thing Leon got us the best starter pokemon then, because Scorbunny does know how to use Ember! He just needs practice- AH!!" She flinched as her pokemon as tackled for a third time, hop smiling and ordering one last tackle! but with fire in her own eyes she pointed at the wooloo! "EMBER AGAIN!! GIVE IT YOUR STRENGTH THIS TIME!!" The scorbunny sucked in enough breath to bloat out it's chest and cheeks. Holding it in as the wooloo approuched, before releasing a bright orange-red blur from the inside of it's mouth and hit the wooloo straight on! It let out a loud 'BAA!!' as it as engulfed by smoke left behind from the attack and Hop reached a hand out towards his companion with a worried look.
"WOOLOO!!" As the smoke cleared he saw the wooloo laid upon the ground. Spirals for it's eyes as it lay unconcious on the concrete battle area. And Leon held up a hand. "UH!?" 
"Scorbunny and Gloria win the first match!," he smiled over Gloria's way. "Nice job you two. Gotta say, that trick you did with the flames and tackle took me off guard for your first battle. And perfecting Ember too? Not bad."
Gloria stood proud hand on her hips and Scorbunny mimicked her pose. "Well I got the idea from your move with Charizard! You once made charizard to a flip in mid air and light a flame to one of your opponents unexpectedly using the flames from it's tail! I simply just used the same method in a slightly different way."
Even you were a little impressed at that the fast, even though Hop claimed to use Leon's battling ways for fighting, it was in fact Gloria who'd end up beating him....Well you knew this would happen. the player usually won against both Hop's wooloo and other pokemon in their first battle in this game. And since Gloria was the living persona of her alternate game self, it came as no surprise she would win the first round. But who knows? Maybe Hop would have better luck this next round. But you still felt a little sorry for him, watching as he held his pokeball out as wooloo returned inside. 
Hop gave it a sad look for a moment before closing his eyes and seeming to collect himself before he inhaled and smiled again. Steeling Gloria with another look. "Nice job! But it's not over yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team! GET IN THERE GROOKEY!!" Hop pointed and you were surprised when Leon didn't stop the two from having a second match, but from his calm smile towards his little brother you guessed he wanted to give Hop another chance. Not that you minded either. So far the story was progressing just how it did in game with Gloria(or Victor) battling Hop a second time and if the game goes as correctly as you remembered, minus a few minor differences. If you remembered right, and hopefully so, she should win. "Time to see what opposite pokemon types can do!"
"You're on! Use growl again-"
"Grookey jump over them and use scratch!" Hop ordered and you all watched as the grass pokemon dodged the growl attack by completely jumping over it and with a fast swipe of it's hand, delivered a hard scratch across the scorbunny's face! The poor fire type squealed out from surprise and the pain from the scratch across it's face and you cringed. Having had an outside cat, you knew that it felt to leave scratches on you. 
"EMBER!!", Gloria countered and using the advantage that the grookey was within close range from jumping at them, Scorbunny managed to shoot out a ball of orange-red energy from it's mouth and hit the poor grass type directly head on. Grookey chittered in pain and rolled head over heels backwards away from the firetype, but by some miracle managed to land back up onto it's feet giving a scowl. But noticable black marks were left from it's opponents attack. 
Hop seemed a little impresses tho. "Did you already know about type advantages?!"
"EMBER!!" That's all it took. another fast inhale and shoot of fire towards the grookey and in a puff of smoke, it was over. The grookey gave a loud chitter as the force collided with it and sent it skidding along the pavement and past Hop who followed it with his head.
"GROOKEY!!" The pokemon stopped half way between you and where Hop was, spiraled eyed landing on it's stomach in the same state Wooloo was it. 
"Grookey is unable to battle and out of bounds!" With a flutter of his cape Leon pointed to Gloria and Scorbunny standing tall and determined. "Gloria wins the match!"
You smiled and clapped your hands for Gloria who squealed in delight and ran towards her scorbunny. The pokemon chittering as the girl brough him up into her hands and twirled him around! "OMG!! YOU WERE SO TOTALLY AMAZING AND COOL!! YOU TOTALLY GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE CHAMPION POKEMON!!" She turned towards you and waved. "Y/N! DID YOU SEE THAT!? I WON MY FIRST TWO MATCHES!!"
You gave her a thumbs up and smile. "Great job! I knew you could do it!"
Hop had returned the down grookey to his pokeball before reaching a hand to his head and looking at Gloria. "You beat my two pokemon with your one?! You and that scorbunny are too much!" he slumped down and frowned. "Well that was a shock. Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a pokemon, too."
"Hop." Gloria came walking over and reached out to grab his shoulder making the boy look back up at her in surprise when she smiled at him. "You shouldn't feel bad. This was just our first battle after all and you still managed to get some good hits on us." The Scorbunny held in Gloria's other arm squeaked in agreement at Hop who blinked. "If you're going to be my rival, then as your rival and best friend it's my job to make sure you grow strong together with me. I'm not going to leave you hanging like that. Ok?"
Hop stared at her a moment before looking away with a small pink hue to his cheeks nodding and you rose a brow at it. Wait a second. Was Hop...being shy? You didn't really have a chance to answer before Leon interrupted the two smiling.
"You and your pokemon all fought hard," he nodded towards them complimenting them, "Made me almost want to let out Charizard and join in on all the fun! Good effort out there, Scorbunny!" Gloria smiled as the pokemon in her arms chittered in approval. "Why don't I get you all sorted?" Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out a small candy like object and handed it to Gloria. "Here. Have him eat this. It should help the aching muscles from the battle. And, Gloria, you've got real promise!" Gloria stopped and blinked up at Leon in the middle of handing her pokemon the small candy. To which the scorbunny grabbed it from her and popped it into his mouth. "In fact, I've got a favor to ask you. Be a real rival to Hop, would you?" Both teens seemed to be surprised he would say that, but with memory coming back, you smiled and nodded. Knowing this would happen. "Push him, and make both of you stronger!"
...Gloria smiled. "Trust me. I'm WAY ahead of you."
"I already want to get stronger and stronger!," Hop pleaded quickly catching his brother's attention, "You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on! You've gotta let me take on the Pokemon Gyms!"
"You? Join the Gym Challenge?," he asked arms crossed and brow raised tho the smile remained, "You think you're ready for the single greatest competition in the Galar Region? Not putting the cat before the Rapidash there, Little Brother?" Hop paused for a moment. "If that's what you really want to do, you two have a whole lot you need to learn about pokemon." He turned to Gloria for a moment. "Especially your friend, Gloria. Before you think about getting Gym Badges, Best to think about getting a Pokedex. A trainer's pokedex helps them learn lots of things about all the pokemon out there, including their strenghs." Leon explained to the two children. "But it's more than just a collection of data, you know. It's a record of a trainer's love and passion for pokemon training." 
"Right, Right. We get it.," Hop waved a hand, "Pokedexes then! We're on it! Looks like it's off to the Pokemon Research Lab for you and me, Gloria!"
Leon smiled and nodded at his brother. "That's the kind of enthusiasm a trainer needs! I'll let the professor know to expect you."
"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completeing a simple pokedex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend!" Hop turned to Gloria for a moment. "You'd probably go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
A shocked face suddenly came over her. "....OMG!! I forgot to tell her I even left for our battle!!" She looked over at you. "Y/n! I gotta go run over and tell Mum where I we are before she worries! Meet us there ok!" You opened your mouth to speak- She snapped back to Hop. "Go tell your mum and then meet me in front of my house, k!?" Hop quickly nodded and you watched as both children turned and skidaddled off. Hop towards his home and a door slamming indicating he rushed inside and Gloria rushing off down the path towards her own house. Leaving you standing there next to Leon. 
After a few seconds he chuckled, and shook his head turning to you who blinked up at him. "Well, it looks like the both of us are stuck meeting those two at the research lab. Since we're heading the same way how's about you be my traveling buddy for a bit. I doubt I these two would be happy if I suddenly go missing in the middle of them receiving their first pokedex." He gestured a hand behind him towards the road. 
The professor- OH RIGHT!! After the player managed to defeat Hop in both battles the player then would get a pokedex from the Professor and the Professor's granddaughter! Although you couldn't exactly remember her name. You guess it'd be the best thing to do considering the kids would be heading there anyways after they told their parents, so you nodded smiling and he smiled back. 
"Great!" He nodded towards the road. "It's the building with the purple roof by the train station. I haven't seen Sonia yet since I arrived here anyways, so she should be surprised to see me too!"
SONIA!! Of course! That was her name! The granddaughter of the town's professor was Sonia! You wracked your brain as he turned and you followed him. You felt like you were forgetting something, but you couldn't put your finger on it even as the two of you went walking down the road and towards the hill towards the train station you first met him at. By the time you two were half way down the hill you had shrugged it off and continued to walk with him towards the train station. Must've have been that important if you forgot anyways. Probably just a random battle or gameplay thing. You could already see the research lab right next to someone's assumed home and you smiled. Well, in this town it must've been convienyet to just have everything within walking distance. 
"So, how do you know Sonia?,'' you asked to keep up conversation as you two walked over the bridge leading to the train station. 
He was happy to answer. "Oh me and her go way back. Actually she was my rival when I first started my journey to become the Champion I am today. I think you'll like her actually. She's really smart and a great cook to boot! Not to shame my mom's cooking, but if I had to chose between her's and Sonia's dishes, I think I'd have to go with Sonia's." He chuckled smiling widely and reaching a hand up to rub the back of his neck.
You chuckled along as you both turned right at the train station and kept walking towards the research lab. Walking past you heard and noticed a lot of people stopping to stare at Leon as he passed with you pointing, and he just smiled and waved to them. A few women swooning and giggling like fangirls as he walked past with you. 
"Heh. You must be pretty popular with the ladies," you teased and you were surprised when he got a bashful look over his face.
"Yeah..Well I don't really have much time for really thinking about dating or anything. Being the Champion means more responsibility for me to handle. I'm lucky the Chairman gave me a few days off to sponsor the kids. Now a days you need a sponsorship by one of the main benefactors to compete in the Gym Challenge, and I wanted to help those two when I had the chance." You blinked vaugely remembering Gloria mentioning that and in the game some of the trainers were sponsored. But you supposed you shouldn't interfere with the game's progression if you wanted it to go accordingly so you should get back, so you nodded reaching a hand up to scratch the happily chittering sobble on your shoulder- before you bumped into Leon from not watching where you were going. But he seemed to dismiss it as he pointed up in front of the building. "AH! Here we go! Looks like I remembered the right way after all!" You blinked and looked up to the building in front of you. A pokeball was painted above the doorway and it looked like a fancy old cottage home with a purple roof, and a few leafy plants hanging off of it. OH! The Lab! You must've not been paying attention while thinking, Leon grabbed the door without hesitation and smiled. "Let's head on in then."
Before you could protest, he had already walked into the home and left the door wide open for you to follow. You looked at your sobble for a brief moment and it made an unsure face. Ultimately you decided to follow him in since after all you had been there before in game, so it couldn't have been much different in person right? On instinct, you closed the door behind you with your foot and ended up finding Leon standing a few feet away looking around at the place. So you looked around too and slowly got a sense of the area. Next to the door was a small kitchen like area with a sink, table with chairs, coffee pot, and a tea set sitting on said table. The walls and floors was a simple white, with a few table and desks covered in books, equipment, and what you guessed was whatever 'research' they were doing here with all the books on the shelves. Literally. There was a LOT of books with a staircase leading up to even more, and of course a few houseplants here and there. A lot more like a library than a lab to you really. You looked back to Leon as he whistled.
"I've got to give it to Professor Magnolia. Everything in here looks fascinating." 
You had to agree. It didn't look like much, but it was a cozy place you could calmly read in. Maybe chill and listen to your favorite movies. You went to walk to stand beside Leon until you jumped back with a yelp as a yellow blue jumped out from right in front of you and barked like a dog. The sobble on your shoulder also let out a chirp in surprise ducking itself behind your head startled by the-.....Yellow dog??? What looked like a small yellow yorkie dog stood before you two panting happily and barking again at you excitedly. 
"Hey there lil buddy!," Leon exclaimed kneeling down and reaching out to pet the small pokemon who gladly accepted his affection with a couple yips. "It's Sonia's Yapper. Which means she's in here somewhere."
And close she was. "What is it today, Leon?" You both looked up at the voice and the small Yapper turned around and barked happily seeing it's master. You blinked at the sight of an orange haired blue eyed woman standing above you on the upstairs level. Her orange hair was mostly tied in a side ponytail with a few heart clippies in it, a tan jacket, and aquamarine-lightblue clothes, and a pair of glasses sitting on her forehead. And a black bag around one of her  shoulders. Hands on her hips looking down at you two. "Looking for info on another never-before-seen, superstrong pokemon? I wish you'd stop with these outlandish requests."
He opened his mouth to say something- "ACK!!" He turned his head away as the yamper jumped up and licked his cheek like a dog, causing Leon to laugh and stand back up shaking his head. "Good to see you, too, Yamper!" He turned his head as the orange haired lady came walking down the steps. "Yamper here is a real champ when it comes to helping you find your way around." He pointed to the pokemon who barked. "He came to my rescue plenty of times back in the day, when I got lost on the road. Oh yeah, and that's his trainer, Sonia!" He pointed to the lady who by now was at the bottom of the stairs and walking towards you two. The small pokemon barking and running over to her feet. "What can I say about Sonia? Well I like the way she cooks. She makes food you can gobble down in a flash."
"Tsk." He turned back to the woman with a smile as she suddenly stood before him arms crossed. "What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn't just Yamper helping you out. I did, too! "
He chuckled and reached a hand up to sheepishly rub his neck. "Yeah. Can't forget how many times you had to drag me to the right gyms for my battles?"
She rolled her eyes. "I still for the life of me how you end up in the most random of places. Seriously. The only place you never get lost to is the kitchen for a snack."
"Oh come on, Sonia. You don't have to be so mean." he pointed to you. "I even brought a friend to wait while we get the pokedexes."
Sonia looked over at you and the Sobble on your shoulder peeking out from it's last spook. "Are you one of the trainers Leon's sponsoring?"
"Wha- Oh no! This is Y/n. She's actually going to be traveling with one of the trainers I'm sponsoring. She just tagged along to wait for them...aaand to make sure I didn't get lost on the way here. Ahehe."
"Oh I see." ...A smile came back onto her face. "Anyway, nice to meet you!" She pointed a hand at herself. "Name's Sonia. I'm the professor's assisstant. It's very nice to meet you."
You smiled and waved a hand. "Hello. It's nice to meet you too." Your head did another look around the place ultimately landing on the glassed off area with plants. "This is an interesting lab you've got here.." You pointed at the area. "What's that?" 
"Oh that?" She glanced to it quick before looking back to you. "That's the terrarium my grandmother and I sometimes conduct small environmental study tests with although it's not being used for anything at the moment." She pointed back to your Sobble. "Oh what a little cutie. It reminds me of the starter Sobble Leon was given by my grandmother for the trainers he's sponsoring."
The sobble chirped and Leon gave her a nervous chuckle. "Actually that IS the same Sobble Professor Magnolia gave me."
Sonia blinked to him faster than lightning and he gave an even nervous smile holding up his hands. "WHAT?! Lee! What's it doing back here then? Grandmother made sure you had the starter pokemon for three trainers!"
"Take it easy, Sonia. I'm not returning it." He held up a finger. "I-It's actually a pretty funny story."
She hummed. "Uh huh. I'm going to LOVE hearing about this." She started walking and you stepped aside as she passed one hand reaching up to rub her temples as the other one motioned for you to follow her Yamper at her heels. "Come on. I'll make you two some tea." You watched her go before looking to Leon who shrugged with that nervous grin and turned to begin walking towards where Sonia went, you following. "So. Mind telling me why the sobble we gave you is back here?" She asked grabbing the coffee pot and placing it on the small oven by the sink and reaching over to click it on as Leon and you came over.
"Well you see." He gave that nervous smile as she turned around to him brow raised. "Those three kids I told you about was reduced to two when one decided to go on a seperate journey instead of doing the Gym Challenge with the others. So Sobble was kind of an extra." He took a seat across from her as she went to sit down, and pointed to you and the sobble. "But luckily Y/n here was in need of one too so it kinda worked out for the best."
The sobble chirped happily as you took a seat opposite of both of them and shrugged. "I mean...It's better to have one now just in case right? Still kinda getting used to it."
"Oh that's right. Hop mentioned you never had a pokemon before like Gloria."
Sonia rose a brow to you. "You've seriously never had a pokemon before?"
You quickly shrugged and used the same lie as before as an excuse. "I had more interest in traveling really. New to the region."
Sonia hummed but nodded. "Well I think you'll find the pokemon here very interesting. Especially the dynamaxing battles?"
"......Dynamaxing?," you asked confused. That did sound familar tho. "What's that?"
"You DON'T know what dynamaxing is?," Sonia asked eyes wide.
"Oh boy. Here comes the professional speech," Leon smiled good naturedly and leaned back in his seat. Arms and legs crossed. You looked to him and was about to ask what he meant...only to get interrupted by a speech of intel by Sonia.
"It's known as the Dynamax Phenomenon. This phenomenon, in which pokemon take on gigantic forms, has only been obserbed in the Galar Region. Moreover, it only seems to occur in specific locations and under set conditions." You opened your mouth- "On the gigantification of pokemon, while the general principal holds that pokemon grow stronger and larger by evolving, it is also true that simply making oneself appear larger is another survival strategy with merit." You raised a hand- "But regarding the changes pokemon can ungergo. Pokemon do not only change in appearance when they level up. They can also do so through the use of certain items or under the influence of the area they live in, in some cases. It is hypothesized that some factor within the pokemon itself is what allows for these changes to their form and biology, but thus far, conclusive evidence of such a factor has not been found by researchers."
She finished with a smile content with her eyes closed and arms crossed, her Yamper not understanding but barking in total agreement anyways as you just....stared. Leon seemed to be the only one to make a noise as he chuckled in amusement at himself for Sonia seeming to break you for a long moment of silence.
".....So basically dynamax-whatchamacallit stuff is just pokemon Super evolving for a hot minute?..Cool," you finally replied seeming to make some kind of sense of what she just spewed out to you. Sonia stopped and stared at you. Leon however snorted and quickly covered his mouth, turning away to shake as snickers escaped his body as you blinked. "Was it something I said?"
Sonia gave her laughing friend an annoyed frown before clearing her throat professionally and looking back calmly to you. "Oh no. But trust me when I say that Dynamaxing in the Galar Region is more than just pokemon with super evolving. We're the only region in the world who's pokemon is able to do so. We still don't know why, but it's one reason why our pokemon battles are so popular around the world."
"So you guys like to brag about your region of super hero pokemon evolving into bigger super hero pokemon to gain viewers??"
"PFFFT!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Leon couldn't contain himself anymore. Arms coming to hug his middle as he half leaned over the table laughing his lungs out. Sonia back to glaring at him annoyed and you raising a brow. What was so funny? Isn't this basically what is was?...Well from you're point of veiw yes, but now that you're seeing these two, maybe it's just that serious to Sonia. "I-I-..." He wheezed. "I-I-I'm so-o-orry! Ahahaha! I've just never heard anyone say something like that especially to Sonia! M-Most d-d-don't even question what she says. Hahaha!" He coughed a few times covering his mouth as he started to come down from his laughing high Sonia still scowling.
"OH!" You held up your hands catching Sonia's attention. "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad I swear."
Sonia huffed but shook her head. " Nevermind. It's fine. Some people." She side eyed Leon with the stink eye as he wiped his eyes coming back from laughing. "Just don't get how scientific research is."
"So what is it exactly that you two do here?," you asked trying to lighten the tension. Luckily it seemed to work as Sonia smiled back towards you.
"Oh. Leon's a right amazing Champion, and I'm basically just an assistant. I'm not even Gran's official assistant, either." She looked down to the table with an almost sad look, "I've just been calling myself one. Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless. ...But to really answer your question." She pointed back towards the desks and tables covered in books, papers, etc. "We do research on ancient history of the pokemon and dynamaxing phemnonenon. We also supply starting trainers in this town with their first starter pokemon, although this is the first time Lee's delivering them personally. I just hope that whoever he decided to give them too aren't reckless. No offense."
"None taken," you replied, "But don't worry. I think they'll be in good hands with the new trainers." You smiled. 
"Speaking of those two, where are they?" Leon hummed and gave the door a curious look as if Hop and Gloria would burst through it any moment, before looking behind him at the clock on the wall. ".....It's been almost a whole hour. Telling Mum can't take that long, and surely they couldn't have gotten lost. That's my thing." 
Yeah...That was kinda strange now that you noticed it. You mirrored Leon's expression with a raised brow and nearly jumped out of your chair when the teapot whistled. Making Sonia excuse herself to stand up and get it for the three of you. Hm. They SHOULDN'T have been taking this long to get here. Gloria was too excited, and Hop didn't have the patience to wait this long to get here....Something wasn't right. A heavy feeling settled on your guts as you thought long and hard. After the battle with Leon, the player and Hop were to receive their pokedexes from the Professor's granddaughter which was obviously Sonia but...you're mind went blank. There was something ...missing. Something you were forgetting. There was something that happened between these two events-...You're mind went back to the other day. A wooloo using tackle on the fence over and over- Your chair made a scrape sound startling Leon and Sonia as you shot up to your feet making the table shake a bit. Sobble chirping in surprise and clinging to your shoulder. Oh NO!! How could you have forgotten!? In the game the wooloo manages to break open the fence and then the player and Hop would venture into the Slumbering Weild to try and retrieve it, also encountering their first Lengendary Pokemon sighting of the game!!! But luckily Leon ends up finding them and escorting them back home but-..Your startled eyes cut to Leon who was confused looking at your panicked f/c eyes. Leon didn't know they were in there right now! This major difference in events right now could change the game and your chances to get back home and worse! THOSE KIDS WERE IN DANGER!!
Your hands slammed on the table and you desperately looked at Leon. "WE HAVE TO GO! THE KIDS ARE IN THE SLUMBERING WEILD!!"
"WHAT!?" Leon asked eyes wider than dinner plates as if you were far away and he didn't hear you.
You nodded. "They went there after this wooloo knocked over the fence leading to it by Gloria's house! We have to leave right now or else they could get seriously hurt!" 
Leon didn't have to be told twice at the mention of his baby brother being in potential danger, only a panicked look in his eyes and he adbruptly stood and even you blinked as he raced to the door. Startling you into freezing for a few seconds before adreneline kicked in and you were right behind him. The door was already thrown open by the time you got to it, so you just followed he purple haired blur of Leon as he raced away from the house with you not so far behind. Sonia shouted something after you both but neither of you two noticed. How could you be so dumb enough to forget such a crucial detail!? Because of you those two could get lost or hurt in there! If a flock of giant bird pokemon wasn't bad enough then there was the gigantic legendary pokemon!!! You couldn't even remember what it was just that it was a legendary one! Dummy!! Sweat began to pour from your forehead as you raced after him away from Sonia's lab, past the train station, over the bridge, and up the path back towards the two kids' homes right after Leon who was must faster than you so of course no surprise the scared older brother would get there before you did. The sobble chirped and chittered in protest into your ears as it young onto you going past. Some people gave you both confused looks as you passed them but you didn't care. You just had to get to them and making sure they didn't get hurt. In fact you were so focused on running you hadn't even noticed Leon stopped until you nearly ran into him when he stopped by where the paths split up between the paths to both kids' houses. Instead you stumbled from the sudden stop and nearly collasped to your hands and knees. Panting, worried, heart beating against your ribcage, and looking up from your leaned over form to Leon who stood there and stared in stunned silence. What? Why had he stopped!? You looked towards where he was looking and froze upon realizing what he was looking at. I mean...you knew it was there and you knew it would happen, but you still froze seeing the open fence there. Leading down into a grassy field which lead into a fogging wooded area. More intimidating than the sunny fields behind you where the wooloos grazed. 
"No.." It came out so quietly you weren't sure if Leon even spoke but you looked to him regardless. A look of horror, panic, and absolute FEAR on his face. "No...NONONONO!!" He suddenly darted forward again and stopped right at the fence entrance darting his hands up to cup his mouth. "HOP!! GLORIA!!"
His only answer back was the echoes of his own voice which eerily and spookily echoed back to him slowly fading out into the woods before them and even tho breathing heavily for breath you forced yourself to walk up next to him and in an urgent voice said. "We HAVE to go after them! They could be hurt!"
"NO!" He turned to you a determined scowl on his face. "I'm going after them! I need you to stay here in case they come back before I get out or in case I get lost and can't find them! I can't risk you coming with me and getting lost too! And if they come back and notice Im gone they might just come right back in looking for me!"
"WHAT?!," you blurted out, "But won't two of us searching make it easier to find them!?"
"I CANT RISK THEIR LIVES OR YOURS, Y/N!" He gave you a desperately look and you paused. In the game Leon's able to find both the missing children and runaway wooloo. Since everything thus far has been going accordingly then this should work out fine too, but if you go along and interfere-...They could all be in danger. So..it was safer for all of you if you stayed out of this. As much as it pained you, you nodded to him and he nodded. "Don't worry about me! I'll get charizard to fly me out if I need to! If none of us are back within an hour I NEED you to run back to Sonia and tell her what happened! She knows where to get the proper help!"
One finally nod was what he gave you before facing back towards the fence and darting off in a speed you thought no human could have. You only stood there and watched. As the thudding of his footsteps faded, and the figure of his body running away, soon being swallowed up by the fog of the Slumbering Weild. And you could only stand there and watch...How could've you had forgotten this? I mean, yeah you were pretty sure they WERE supposed to go in there and yes you WERE sure Leon was supposed to go after them in order for the game to be set on the right path-...But still, you probably would've liked to give Leon a head's up for this. In the game you had never seen him sport such a look of...fear. The champion in the game, even when he found the kids in there, always wore the 'Champion's Smile' because that's what he was programmed to do. Heck. In the game you never even saw how Leon discovered the two kids went into the Slumbering Wield. To you it wasn't a big deal because at the end of the day it was just a game you were following the story too...You never thought...you'd ever see the confident happy-go-lucky jokster older brother so wracked with fear. Fear you might have prevented. You weren't sure when you did it. But you ended up sitting on the ground, back leaned against the fence post with your eyes closed just-....sitting there for the longest time. Your sobble had long since gotten off your shoulders and chittered at you in question. Moving around the area but staying close to where you were sitting.
At one point it made a very OUD chirp and jumped onto your lap. "OOF!?" You opened your eyes to the blue pokemon and slowly blinked. "Hey! What was that for? Wasn't very nice of you!" It chirped again loudly and pointed past you and the gate glancing at something. Raising a brow tiredly, you slowly turned your head to see what in the world it was pointing a- Your sobble chirped a loud squabble when it tumbled out of your lap as you jumped up eyes wide and overwhelming relief washing over you. "LEON!"
Yep! It was the champion alright. His face a mixture of slight annoyance and extreme exhaustion. In front of him was Hop and Gloria to your surprise and relief. Both were avoiding eye contact looking extremely embarrassed, and....a wooloo trotting along with them. To think that all this commotion was started by one runaway wooloo. You shook your head, glancing to the chirping Sobble starting to clambor up your leg and towards your shoulder for a moment, before glancing back towards the Champion who sighed tiredly at you. Making your relief even more validated.
"What were you two thinking!?," was the first thing out of your mouth once the two children were close enough. I mean yeah this was supposed to happen, but it was still incredibly wreckless of them! Both children winced from your question and you were stopped when Leon held up a hand calmly.
"Now, now, Y/n. *sigh*" He sighed and reached a hand up to rub his face. "Everything's fine now. These two are safely back. The lost wooloo is found. And they know better than to go in there again." He rose a brow down at them, "right you two?" They instantly nodded mumbling some form of sorry as he nodded. "You both had your hearts in the right place, but the best thing to do was to come tell someone. If Y/n hadn't figured out where you two went, who knows what might've happened?" The two teens(mostly Hop) looked ashamed of themselves. "I'm not angry at you two." Both(again mostly Hop) blinked up surprised at Leon but he folded his arms with a frown. "But that doesn't mean I wasn't nearly scared half to death knowing two kids were running around a highly dangerous area by themselves. Now you two promise to never EVER go back in there again especially without telling someone again, no matter what reason."
"We promise, Lee!" "Yeah. I'm real sorry." The two agreed.
After continuing to stare at them with the frown for a moment, he sighed again and shook his head. "It's fine. As long as it doesn't happen again." Holding his arms out, he herded the two kids and wooloo out past the fence and looked to you. "I'm going to make sure these two get to Sonia. There's a limited amount of time they have for earning my endoursment and they still need their pokedexes...besides." he looked back to the wooloo who baaed at him. "Someone has to make sure this little guy gets returned to farmer Harry down town. Hopefully he'll keep this one from causing anymore trouble. In the meantime, could you close the fence?" He asked looking to you. "I can talk to professor Magnolia into issuing a stronger lock and chain for the gate."
You nodded thinking that was best. "Sounds good. I'll meet you guys there."
Smiling, Leon nodded and turned back to the kids placing one arm on each their shoulders before pushing them forward. "Come on you two. Let's drop this little troublemaker off and then get two a pokedex. The day's still early so you should have plenty of time to change my mind." As they began walking off he shook his head. "Boy Sonia's not going to believe this."
The kids didn't protest when Leon shuffled them away and you sighed. A hand coming to your chest, as you completely calmed. That could've gone a lot worse, but thankfully it all went according to plan and game. Sobble chirped having clambored back onto your shoulder and you reached up a hand to scratch it's head, to which it smiled and chirped happily at the affection. Now..for the fence. From the rush of adreneline eariler, you just decided to take your sweet time in grunting and pulling the heavy fence gate closed. That wooloo must've been stronger than Hop's if it was able to use tackle enough times to make this heavy wooded fence open all the way. The lock or whatever it was last used to keep it closed was no where to be found, so what you did was take a decently big rock and roll it towards the fence, it took all the strength you had to lift the fence up enough to shove the rock under the gate and lodge it enough to make sure it wouldn't move before letting go and observing your handy work. It...wasn't the best. If someone pushed hard enough or rammed their body against it, it would open, but at least it should stay closed for now until Leon could get the Professor to fix it again. Satisfied, you turned around and slowly began making your way slowly back towards the lab. Sobble on your shoulder as it lazily yawned. Whelp. Good to know someone was having a relaxed time at least. The walk all the way back there wasn't too bad. It was actually kinda peaceful listening to the wind and passing by field of wooloo baaing like sheep, and the streams of the two bridges you walked over to get to the lab. A few people gave you a curious or confused look as you passed but you paid them no mind, and wouldn't you know it, Leon was standing their waiting for you.
He smiled upon noticing you and when you got close enough waved. "Well done! You reached the goal and managed to find the Pokemon Research Lab! You did a far sight better than I did my first time. I'm hopeless with directions. I know I'm sure glad I got Charizard with me...to keep me from getting lost all the time."
You chuckled but stopped in front of him raising a brow. "I think I figured that out by now." You looked back towards the lab. "Are they inside?"
He figured you meant the two kids and shook his head. "Nah. They went up the road to Professor Magnolia's house. I just decided to wait for you so you'd know where to go...and so I wouldn't get lost either. ehehe...heh."
You blinked as he gestured with a hand and started walking and you followed beside him. OH YEAH! It was starting to come back to you. The player and Hop raced towards the Professor's home, catching a few new pokemon and battling one last time to convince Leon to sponsor them before the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge! So far so good. "How was Sonia after you explained what happened?"
He groaned leaning his head back and crossing his arms, giving a closed eyed grimace as you two walked. "Not too good. She yelled at me about how rude it was to just run out like that without giving her a heads up, and then she got even more annoyed she's going to have to fix that fence. Hopefully no other wooloos get the idea to enter Slumbering Weild...." His eyes popped open for a moment before he turned to you with a look. "Speaking of which, how'd you know they went in there?"
"Um..." Your face was frozen. Great. Now you have to think of even MORE excuses. You shrugged. "Well like you said. I saw the wooloo earlier with the other two when it was trying to bust down the fence yesterday, and your little brother must really love wooloos by how much he talks about them....So it was just a lucky guess based off..wooloos??" Good gosh that was the lamest excuse ever-
"I see..." He smiled. "Well that was a pretty good guess. I can't say how grateful I am for helping Hop and his friend."
He waved a hand with a bashful smile. "Think nothing of it. I'm just glad I could help...So do you think they'll catch any pokemon on the way there?" You asked changing the subject. Thank goodness that was good enough to work.
"Probably. Lots of wild pokemon live near Route 2 in this town. They'll probably have to end up putting a few of them in Rotomi boxes."
".....Rotomi..boxes?"
"Oh right. I guess they don't have those over in the Kalos Region huh? Rotomi boxes are a sort of storage system for your pokemon when you can't carry them all around, "Leon explained, "You can find them in any pokemon Center. In fact you can find one in the center in town here. You recieve your pokemon from your boxes at any Rotomi you visit, too!"
"Oh. I guess that's how Pokemon storage works around here," you mumbled to yourself but Leon nodded with a hum.
"Yep! It was developed a long time ago when Professer Magnolia was just starting out as this town's professor. She's been a genius from the very beginning, Sonia's a lot like her."
"Oh wow. She sounds smart."
"heh. You're not wrong. It's going to be nice to see her again after so long."
Yo two walked peacefully down the cobblestone road, passing by lots of people who waved or took photos of Leon as he smiled and waved to them, and you guys had to stop a few times for a few little kids who either wanted a picture or autograph from the famous celeberty. Sheesh. It was sweet but you didn't think you'd be able to stand all the attention after a bit. You always much rather jam out to music or play video games....that was until your mother kept shoving studying and schoolwork into your face and most of that joy was replaced with visits to the lirbrary or studying quietly at home...Oh well. That was the reality of it of life, And you wanted to help pay your mum back for all the hard work she put into raising you without- You jumped when Leon suddenly pointed ahead of you and you silently nodded to his directions as he lead you. Hopefully he wouldn't be getting the both of you lost. You two were just coming over another bridge when you saw and heard the two teens again. Right next to the tall Route 2 sign. Both didn't notice you and had their backs towards you, so they didn't notice the two of you walking up from behind them. 
"Over here, Gloria!," Hop suddenly pointed to the tall patch of grass in front of them on the road excitedly and Gloria looked just as excited seeing the small blurs running around in it. "All right, Glory! It's time to fill our teams a bit!"
"And I'm here to teach you how!," Leon exclaimed loudly from right behind the two. Both kids yelped and whipped behind them startled from you two walking up to them, "You'll need to catch pokemon if you've got any hope of filling in that pokedex."
"Lee!? Where'd you come from!?," Hop asked calming down upon realizing who it was.
Leon smiled wider as you smiled. "Well I thought I'd might as well meet you two at the Professor's while you two try catching some wild pokemon of your own, and wait for Y/n. It would've been unfair if she was left behind to bear the brunt of Sonia's anger." Leon then looked over at Gloria and as if reading her mind asked. "Only...look at you, Little Glory! You've already caught some on your own!" Hop's eyes widened and turned to Gloria who smiled proudly and nodded asking 'You did?!' "Your mum gave you those poke balls, did she?" She nodded again and Leon hummed....Before reaching behind him under his cape where you couldn't see. "I'll give you two some more poke balls. In return, I'll only ask that you catch plenty of pokemon."
''REALLY!?" Hop's eyes widened when Leon pulled out three pokeballs in each hand and held them out to the wide eyed teens who obviously took them. As soon as the smooth metal catching pokemon devices were in Hop's hands, his smile widened and began starry eyed at his brother. "THANKS! YOU'RE THE BEST LEE!!"
You couldn't help but smile at the sweet exchange between the three of them, and Leon chuckled before looking at the tall grass. "The pokemon around here seem easy to catch. Almost like they're itching to join some Trainer's team, wouldn't you say? But don't forget. Pokemon and Trainers alike gain experience from battling. Like how Gloria's Scorbunny learnt to improve it's Ember Move after your first battle. So this should be good practice for the two of you. Your teams will keep on changing and growing as you get stronger together, no doubt. But even I don't know exactly yet."
"WE WONT LET YOU DOWN, LEE!," Gloria exclaimed thrusting a pokeball into the air, "You're going to flip seeing what I caught on the way there!"
"Not unless I catch more than you, Glor."
Gloria gave Hop a challenging smile to rival his own. "Oh? Hm. Ill accept that challenge then dear rival!"
Leon chuckled again before waving a hand to catch their attention. "Well make sure you make it to the Professor's house before nightfall. " He jabbed a thumb behind him at you. "Ill just take Y/N here with me and meet the both of you there. Show your Champion something good, all right?"
"Sure, Lee!" "Aright!"  
Both children agreed immediately before turning back to the tall grassy area in front of them and Hop pointed off towards the tall grassy area a few yards away from them. Gloria eagerly nodding before she took off after Hop when he ran for it pokeballs in hand. You couldn't help but smile. This was good. Gloria and Hop would have the chance to collect some more pokemon on the way to the professor's house like in the game and in turn you can relax now that you know they probably won't get in trouble from catching a few wild pokemon for themselves. You jumped when Leon cleared his throat and you looked to his smiling face as he gestured down the pathway as if questioning for your permission and you nodded at him. Matching Leon's pace as he set off down the path towards the Professor's home.
"Sorry if I ruined the chance for you to tag along with 'em,'' he apologized to you with an apologetic look to match, "But I really want to see how they can do on their own without any distractions or anyone holding them back. No offense."
You waved him off. "None taken. It's fine actually." In truth you didn't mind that at all. "You were happy to wait for them to capture pokemon instead of walking around after them all the way there after you were nearly scared half to death by the Slumbering Weild incident. And you didn't mind just waiting to see what they would catch. "In fact I'm interested in seeing the Professor. I don't think I met a Professor before."
He chuckled. "Then you're in for a treat! Follow me. If we don't end up lost, then it should be just down this road."
You chuckled and continued to follow him down the dirt path. Passing taller grassy areas and a few more trees showing the Professor's house was a little more far back into the wild life than the town. Must be a hassle to go to and from the Lab all the time you thought, even if it was within walking distance. At one point you were watching a small squirel pokemon with massive chuuby cheeks skittering past when your attention was once again caught by Leon. You looked towards him in question and he pointed ahead of him. Yo looked down the path and blinked. There was a small bridge with a white fence running along it over a river, a concrete battle area like the one at Hop's house was standing before the house which was also by a decent sized lake. The house itself was pretty lovely looking. It was a dark purple all over with green vines all over itself. You followed Leon all the way to the door of the home as it's shadow loomed over you. Without any hesitation Leon knocked rather loudly on the door and waited. A few seconds went by before there was finally an answer.
"Whoever it is come on in!," it sounded like an older lady's voice, like the kind you'd expect a grandmother to have, "The door's open!"
Without missing a beat Leon opened the door with a creak and threw a smile over his shoulder nodded towards the inside. "Follow me. You're going to really like Ms. Magnolia! She's a super nice woman!" You nodded and went ahead and walked inside. You followed right after him into a small space. Coats and shoes were placed by the door, with a stairway in front and a couple houseplants. "HELLO!" leon called as you slowly closed the door behind you. "Professor Magnolia! Are you in here?"
"Leon! Is that you, you old troublemaker?,'' came the elderly woman's voice happily from the left and you two turned your gazes past what looked like a kitchen area into a different doorway which lead to a blue room.
"Yeah! And I brought a friend if you don't mind!" He started walking towards the blue room and after a few seconds you slowly followed.
"Oh no. Not at all, dear,'' the old voice said as you two entered into the kitchen area and made your way closer and closer to the voice, "Any friend of yours is welcome, Young Lee." Yo continued to Follow Leon until he stopped in the doorway to the blue room and you stopped beside him blinking inside. The room was rather homey. The walls, ceiling, carpet, and some of the furniture was a blue. White cabinets lined the walls and they all either had some plants or some other decorative object set upon it. A few paintings hung off the walls, and against the far wall was a brick fireplace. And on one of the blue couches sat an elderly woman who could've been old enough to be your granny, calmly looking back at the two of you. She had grey hair held back by a purple-grey band, gold earrings, a gold necklace with a purple pendant, white lab coat and shoes, and a plain really light yellow dress. She held a cane that had some carved creature on the end you gripped, glasses, and green eyes. "Well if my glasses don't decieve me, I'd say that the Champion himself was standing in my living room."
"Professor Magnolia!,'' Leon greeted coming right in and over to her, she didn't even have to get up and reached a hand out for him to shake, which he did happily. "I haven't seen you in ages! HAHA!!" He let go of her hand and plopped down in the blue couch in front of her. "So have you unraveled all the secrets of the Dynamax Phenomenon yet?"
"Oh goodness no. The whole thing is still full of questions." the professor chuckled and sat back into her comfy couch. "And I'm very close to retiring too. So, so close. I'd hoped that my granddaughter would take over my research but..." She trailed off and looked away- "Hm?" And noticed you still standing awkwardly in the doorway. "Oh my goodness! Dear me, I'm sorry. I didn't even notice my guests! Please come in and have a seat young lady." She smiled gesturing to the spot next to Leon on the couch and you smiled politely taking her up on her offer. Walking in slowly and going next to Leon who scooted over to allow you some room. "My name is Magnolia." She greeted you with a smile that made you think of a grandmotherly vibe. "Welcome, young trainer."
"Thank you," you smiled politely. "My name's Y/N. Nice to meet ya!...But I'm not a trainer." You explained with a sheepish smile as your Sobble chittered and moved to plop inself ontop of your own head. "I'm more of a....traveler."
She hummed still smiling. "I see. We'll I'm sure you'll find lots of interesting things around here if you look hard enough. That's why I love my job so much." She chuckled. "Never know what you're going to find among the rest of the dust."
You chuckled too. "So what kind of work do you do? Leon told me Sonia and you work at the lab in town."
She shrugged. "Oh the usual. Pokemon anthropology and development. Medical research a bit. But I've mostly looked into dynamaxing."
"Oh yeah!" You jumped at Leon's loud voice startling the Sobble on your head enough for it to tumble off your head and into your lap with a loud squabble of protest. He didn't seem to notice as turned brightly smiling to you. "You must already know about Dynamaxing right, Y/n?" You nodded. " The Champion nodded towards the smiling woman. "Professor Magnolia's been doing research into the Dynamax Phenomenon for years and years. And it takes proper understanding of the thing if you plan to use dynamaxing to the fullest!"
Magnolia chuckled and shook her head at Leon. "There you go again, Leon, always talking about pokemon. There are other things that are worth knowing about, too, you know. Like how many different types of teas there are. "
"Ha! Says the Pokemon Professor?," he teased back. 
She gave a sly smile. "Hmhmhm. Touche, Champion. But there are other things you enjoy too besides pokemon, aren't there?"
He let out a hum. "Yeah. Sonia's cooking."
"Well they say the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." She teased. "Getting a crush are we, boy?"
"Hey! C'mon, Professor! Any one likes a good dish!" He paused when his stomach let out a small rumble. "....Heh. Sorry." His smile became bashful. "Guess running around all day all over the place made me forget about lunch and dinner."
"You, Lee? Forget about food? My. How shocking." She chuckled at his grumbling pouting face before she grabbed the couch and, with the help of her cane, stood right up. "Well then. I guess we can get some tea to help pass the time."
"Oh wait!" You held out your hand as she started walking past you. "You don't have to do that, Professor. I'm fine really." You threw a look back over your shoulder as Leon gently grabbed you. "I've learnt that Ms. Magnolia is even more stubborn than Sonia. If she wants to do something, not even a million Dynamaxed pokemon working together could stop her! It's best we let her."
You went to argue-....But sighed and sat back down. Leon was right. You didn't know this woman outside the game you played as a teenager which was a long time ago, so it was best to let things be for now. 
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!
All three of you turned your head towards the door as loud fast knocks pounded from the other side of it making the professor hum. "Oh? More guests? I wonder they could be?" She started towards the door but you knew who it was already.
The Trainers had arrived.

Okay maybe the venn diagram between tlt fans and pokemon fans has an intersection point, even if it's small. But I'm sure it exists.
Now the venn diagram between tlt fans who like (or at least find interesting) Jod and company, and the pokemon fans who like pokemon x and y, that's probably two diferent circles.
But just in case there's someone like that other than me I bring to their attention a realization I had the other day when I learnt that in english Proffessor Sycamore has a name. He is called Augustine of all names and I went WHAT wait,,, wAIT
(This probs is going to be a long nonsensical ramble so I'll put it under the cut, there'll be a summary at the end) (Also spoilers for both tlt and pokemon x and y I guess)
So I started conecting dots like haha pokemon x y au where Augustine is,,, well Augustine (Sycamore). Who would John be then who could be Augustine (Sycamore) best friend/ weird whatever they have going on and is also a bad guy or something. WHO I WONDER
Lysandre!!!!!!!! Like I'm looking at this guy's quotes and like bitch!!!!!
"I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs." "They're filth!"
"I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone..."
HELLO???????
Like obviously they're not the same same, Lysandre is way less complicated bc of the genre of the media and stuff but like. Basically his story is that he wanted to help people with his pokemon but they were ungrateful so he decided to wipe everyone out but the people who were nice. So yeah.
Also this quote Professor Sycamore says about Lysandre
"But what I really wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this."
OH BOI YEAH OKAY HM YES I'M FINE AHA
I was like wow okay this kinda makes a lot of sense (and im not even including the stuff of pokemon masters ex). But we are missing Mercy here and that can't be. And okay this may be a bit of a reach but I inmediatly thought of Diantha.
The first time you see her she is talking with Lysandre about mortality and shit. And thinking about it Cytherea fits too with all the themes of beauty and stuff (Diantha is an actress and Lysandre asks her if she wishes she chould stay beautiful forever or something like that) But like her role in the story and stuff, she is friends with both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre, she is also the region champion which is very cool and like they are the three main adults in the game intertwined with the main plot. (Althoug Diantha way less, and she isn't even in the pokemon masters ex storyline I mentioned before which is very sad)
However Diantha is way nicer than Mercy, she is very kind and polite with everyone which Mercy is... not fhdkadf. But she fits still I think.
Also this quote in which she mentions Augustine (Sycamore) that makes me soft bc she calls him dear.
"Then that means that you are also the one that dear Augustine said..."
Also the ship between Professor Sycamore and Lysandre is called perfectworldshipping (pokemon ship names are like that for some godforsaken reason and I hate it but in this case it fits my whatever this is)
TO SUM UP:
- Lysandre= John
- Augustine Sycamore= Augustine
- Diantha= Mercymorn
and I have many feelings about this
Thanks for coming to my ted talk now if you'll excuse me I'm going to look for my copy of pokemon y

Been playing the recent Pokemon game (i got violet because Ceruledge grabbed me by the throat), how is ur experience with the new game? Whaddya think of it??
- big hat anon, actively trying to avoid Nemona
Oh god, here we go. Very long reply of my personal thoughts. Remember, these are just my personal opinions and I tend to be a heavy critic. Also, spoilers ahead if you haven't finished the game.
Where do I even begin? First off, this gen's starters were kinda trash. Not as bad as last gen, this gen was actually cute in the beginning but the designs for their last stage evolutions are kinda horrid. I picked the duck, purely so I could name him Quatrina and teach him Hurricane. I originally wanted to go with Sprigatito, but then he stood up on two legs and I was out.
Secondly, my team changed a lot but three remained on there the entire time. Quatrina, a Charcadet I named Charla, and a Fidough I named Conchas. Charla and Conchas? Carried.
Thirdly, I did the order of the story routes kinda weird.
First I did the Team Star route just because I wanted to see the "villains." And let me say, I'm glad they're actually kinda good. Like, maybe they're not as great as Team Skull, but they aren't horrible like Team Yell. The leaders of Team Star are actually interesting, and I wish we saw more of them. In my opinion, I thought they were actually more difficult than the gym leaders. Anyways, they're fun. Penny is a decent character too. I predicted she was the main boss literally before I even raided the first base. Also Clive? He's such a caring headmaster? Love that?? And how he went out of his way to try and understand the troubled students.
Second I did the Victory Road route. I wanted to do that last but it got to the point where became overpowered while playing the Star route and I had no gym badges yet, so new high level pokemon I had would not listen. Which got annoying because my main three: Quatrina, Charla, and Conchas were all higher leveled but they still listened. Anyways, I wanted to like Nemona, and I tried, I really did, but she got on my nerves so bad. She is one of the worst rivals by far. All she cared about was battles. Battles this battles that. That's literally all she ever talks about, its her whole personality, and it got so annoying. Especially because after the Star route, since I was so overleveled and the gyms don't change their levels no matter where you are, I breezed through all eight gyms within a few hours. The Elite Four was too easy, and so was the Champion, and so was Nemona. Actually, the only one that gave me trouble was Mr. Hassel, the fourth Elite Four. He was stronger than the Champion and Nemona. But I still breezed through that too. Anyways, not a fan of Nemona.
And last, I did the titan route. Arven? He is the GOAT. I love him so much, and he had such an interesting story. At first I didn't like him, I kinda thought he was a jerk, but then you learn his backstory and I fell hard. A guy with fluffy hair, Mommy/Daddy issues, cooks for you, and will fight off titans to heal his childhood pet? Sign me the fuck up. He is borderline himbo and I am so here for it. He is my favorite rival in this game by far, and probably one of my favorites of the whole Pokemon series. 10/10. Anyways, the titans were easy too. I usually one shot them most of the time, lol.
Finally, the end story, which I completed literally less than an hour ago. My theory is the crater was made by the same blast thousands of years ago mentioned in X and Y. If you know, you know. Kalos DLC, maybe??? Please?? Okay, so I have Violet meaning I got Professor Turo. When he only showed up during the last route with Arven, I knew it was super suspicious. Like he was absent almost the entire game, and now he wants us to travel to the crater? Red flag. Literally once I entered the cater and heard that beautiful but sorta eerie music, I thought to myself, "watch him be the bad guy." And guess what? I was right, he ended up being the bad guy. Although the whole AI thing and him actually being dead was not what I expected, but it was super interesting when his AI decided to destroy the time machine by going to the future that Turo obsessed over. Still, Turo really was a shit dad for spending his days on a time machine he knew could cause more harm than good and kinda just pushing his son off to the side. Arven deserved so much better. Also, Penny and Arven had a lot of good banter during this but I feel like they tried to make Nemona the peace between the two but she was just more annoying, at least to me. The way I got mad when I would say no to something and she would insist, pretty much giving you no actual choice.
That's all I can think of right now.
