Dragon's Treasure Ch2 Remake Of Chapter One

Y/n L/n just wanted a quiet life for herself raising pokemon in her wooded cottage and running her secret shiny haven. But there was one problem. Dragon Boy wouldn't leave you alone. Ever since your first meeting in Hammerlocke he hasn't been able to get you out of his mind. What's a dragon to do but go after the best treasure?

Impressions were important. He of all people should know that. Especially first impressions. He's always prided himself on giving the best first impressions himself. He's always liked to think of himself that way and it seemed to pay off in the end. Most of his fans interviews would describe him in many ways. Approachable. Kind. Fun. And a few other things. Amazing and hot being the most two he's heard of. Mostly from female fans but he wouldn't deny them that or say it was wrong per say. His good reputation in the end saved him when they investigated him. He was under heavy suspicion being the gym leader who's gym was attached to the powerplant where the Chairman revived Eternatus. Honestly he had no idea what went on in there. Despite being a gym leader literally right next to the place he was never allowed inside and had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, which also helped in his testimony when proving him innocent. He won't lie he felt guilty for a long time and some people looked at him differently for a while but it seemed things were quickly returned to mostly normal. It's ok. He could deal with it. He was used to everyone's different reactions to him. Adoration. Haters. People indifferent or neutral to him. Etc. And he took it. Even if it was negative he could take it. With someone of his job and having such an important role he's learnt early on to just roll with the punches but...There was ONE time. One place. One...PERSON that gave him a reaction so different that it sent him through a loop.

He then turned to you as you paused. "Anyways. I don't think I got your name Miss??"

"Y/n." you stated flatly, "And thank you for the compliments-"

"Ah thank nothing of it." He flashed a fanged grin at you, "I know how it can be sometime meeting me n' all that but it really is no big deal-"

"Oh you're right about that." He paused stopping, blinking wide eyed at your deadpanned face mouth agape in a smile as he processed what you had bluntly but politely stated. "You do seem REALLY nice and I really appreciate all the nice things you said to me and Gloria, but I'll have to stop you right there with the flirting, Mr. Raihan. No offense to you of course, and I don't mean anything by it." You turned giving the frozen gym leader one last look before you left. "You just aren't my type. I'm sure you'll find a nice person soon tho with your looks and charms. Have a nice day."

And you left, leaving the wide eyed Dragon Type Gym Leader standing there jaw dropped and the secretary at the desk who also looked shell shocked at what she had just witnessed. ....Raihan's rotom gave a loud pokemon sound of alarm when Raihan dropped his phone with a thud onto the floor.

He had NEVER EVER met someone so..so...Different? Blunt? No no. So upfront about their feelings? Nah. He's had people literally propose to him in public ring and all. Couldn't get more upfront than that. So what was it that shocked him into staring off into space thinking about it for so long. He just couldn't get it out of him head. During that week Piers had even visited him and noticing his friend staring off. So Raihan was honest with him...to which Piers had busted out in rare laughter which really threw him off for a good moment before asking his friend what was so funny. The pale rockstar had wiped away tears chuckling for a solid few minutes before smiling at his friend.

"Dont'cha get it? Hehehe."

"Get what? Look, Man. If you know something I don't it'd sure be really helpful."

To which Piers laughed some more. "Rejection, Mate."

And a record scratch went off in the man's head. "....Rejection?"

Piers nodded. "Lemme ask ya somethin'. How many people have ya rejected in yer life?"

To which he inhaled through his fangs giving a hiss sound. "How many? Ooh. Boy. You talking 'bout online or in person? Because I lost count after my first year being gym leader."

"M'kay. Now put that question in reverse. How many people 'ave rejected your advances?"

And that was when everything clicked in his head. Ah...THAT was the word he couldn't put his finger on. Rejection. THAT'S IT! He's never been rejected like that before. It was a rare thing when he had genuinely flirted with someone and showed genuine interest. Sure. It was no secret that he play flirted with some fans and it was a part of his personality but most everyone eats it up and never outright rejected him point blank. He could count on one hand how many time it had happened. First time ever was Sonia which was one and he understood finding it worked better for them to remain friends. Then Nessa when he had a semi-crush on her back in the early gym leader days but she rejected him wanting to pursue her career of modeling without worrying about a relationship. Again valid. And the third had been....You. He hadn't even been flirting seriously yet you had rejected him bluntly and faster than anyone else combined. It was...certainly a new feeling that's for sure. Something that caught his interest and made him all the more curious about you. But overtime he shrugged it off not ever expecting to see you again and soon it was completely forgotten about and pushed towards the back of his mind. He had other things to worry about such as the gym challengers and his roles as gym leader. He had a few beat him including Piers's little sister. It was like only yesterday she was a little tyke having tea parties with her morpeko. Then you showed back up a couple months later. During that time he had to leave Hammerlocke for a meeting with Leon. And by meeting he meant Leon called him lost again and he had to take flygon to go save him from falling off a waterfall. Sigh. Classic Leon. He got back and decided to stop by that sweet cafe for some food and treats for his team. What he wasn't expecting however was to see you again. He was surprised truly at first, as everything that had happened before played through his mind, before he had smiled and decided to do what he did best. Playfully mess with people. Why not? He wouldn't deny you peeked his interest and he was curious to see what you would do next. Boy that conversation was one he'd never forget.

You flung the five dollar bill onto the table for the tip and went to stuff the money back into your pocket- "ACK!" A glass bumped into your cheek and you frowned over at Silver who innocently chirped and tried handing you the glass again. With a sigh you finally took it from his teeny pink hand. "Sil. You couldn't have waited for me to finish?" You didn't notice the guy sit down in the chair next to you. Head in one hand. "We need to leave." You looked back up and placed the cup down, in view now of the man. "Cuz I'm not gonna-".....You paused mouth slightly open making Raihan chuckle right next to you. You nearly JUMPED out of your chair bristled like a cat as you snapped over to the guy. "GAH!?" Instead you leaned away fast arms up. "WHAT THE HE-...YOU!?"

He ended up chuckling a deep rumble that sounded like a deep purr. Now any other woman, and some men, would've swooned or blushed at the sound of such a chuckle..But instead you frowned. It only reminded you of a sound a cat would rumble out before chasing a mouse. He gazed at you with half lidded eyes and waved his other hand at you. "I thought I recongized you from somewhere."

....You frowned and lowered your arms but didn't stop leaning back. "Oh joy."

Despite you not hiding your annoyance he simply chuckled again a lazed smirk pointed at you. "Y'know...I actually didn't think it was you at first." he shrugged. "Honestly didn't expect to see you at all again either. But the chances of another woman with f/c hair and f/c eyes running around with a shiny water type are pretty slim to none." His smiled widened to show his fangs. "But I'm not complaining.~"

"Bro. What the heck?," you deadpanned at him and crossed your arms, "I thought I told you, very politely might I add, last time that I wasn't interested."

He hummed and nodded. '' You did. You did. I'm not denying that fact for a bit."

....You rose a brow. "Ok. Then what do you want then?"

"That's just the thing." He sighed looking you over as you narrowed your eyes. Silver chirped in question peeking over your leg curiously to why you were angry. "...You see...I usually don't get the kind of reaction you gave me all those weeks ago. Not so fast. Not so blunt." He chuckled and rose a brow. "And definitely not with the kind of sass you delivered. I haven't been able to forget about it."

"Not my problem, Dude. Not interested."

"Oh come on. That's a little unfair since you don't know much about me. I'd like to get to know a girl like you more! Why don't I buy you dinner and we can chat?"

"I already ate thanks." You pointed to the dishes. "And I have some people waiting for me so...Polite pass."

He smiled brightly an idea flashing from behind those eyes and you cringed. Oh no. He pointed at you. "Hey! That's right you were with that gym challenger right?" You didn't like where this was going. "That could only mean she's passing through or here to battle me right?"

"The latter," you answered truthfully.

His smile got wider. "Then how about this? If I win against her I get to take you out for dinner!"

You have a huff staring at the wild suggestion he even made. "You honestly believe I'm going to agree to THAT!? You don't know when to stop huh?"

His hand was placed on his chest. "You got me. But yes. I'm known for being pretty determined for the goals I strive." He winked at you. Oh brother. "But I promise I don't bite.~.....Much.~"

You were already darting your eye around on edge trying to figure out a way out of this mess you had accidentally and unintentially put yourself in. UGH!! WHY COULDN'T THINGS JUST BE EASY FOR YOU FOR ONE DAY!? Your f/c eyes gazed over him and eventually locked onto his hood....then to the white straps on his jacket. A light bulb switching in your brain as an idea finally came into your head. And it made you cringe. Oh. You DIDN'T like it. Faaaaar from it....But it would certainly be a fast ticket out. You just had to suck it up and go for it!......May Arceous have mercy on your dying pride for what you were about to do.

Forcing yourself to relax, you inhaled a deep breath before exhaling your tense body relaxing. Before leaninf forward towards Raihan and smiled. Eyes half lidded. "Yeah?~ Well Dragon Boy. Maybe I ought to kidnap YOU and see how you like it.~" Raihan paused. Seeming to blink taken aback for a moment. His blue eyes looked over you at the confusion of the sudden flirty (GAG-) tone you were forcing yourself to do. But you didn't give his brain any time to process it before standing up in the blink of an eye and leaning over him. "Maybe I ought to badger your handsome face and see how cute you look.~" You cringed inwardly SO SO SO HARD and reached your hand up and over his still processing face to grab his hood. Gently pulling it over and placing it softly on his head. "And how sweet you look in his hoodie of yours.~ You know what else is a good look for ya?~"

.....Raihan relaxed, a flirty smirk printed on his fanged face as he delivered another rumbling purr-laugh. God you wanted to hide and RUN!! "No.~ Why don't you tell me?~"

You chuckled and stared at him. ".....THIS!!"

In a flash your hands grabbed onto those white straps and YANKED!! In an instant, with a ZIP noise raihan's hood shrank in around his head and he suddenly gave a loud yelp of surprise at the suddenly hoodie attack you gave. You didn't even blink. Not waiting for him to respond, you quickly whipped around, snatched Silver into your arms with a loud chirp from him, and RAN!!

"SAY HI TO PIERS FOR ME!!"

Needless to say the next time he saw Piers the rockstar broke out laughing even more at this lady's actions. From then she earnt the nickname Ms. Sassy or just sassy from him since that seemed to suit her just fine. Needless to say he wasn't expecting her to suddenly yank his hood over his head but at that moment something happened. He couldn't quite put his hand on it but if he had to guess then he'd have to say it felt almost like a...spark. Yeah. A spark. Sparking a challenge within him. Not only once but twice you had rejected him and in ways he never saw before. It was....Fun. And your next conversation was just as fun and thrill-seeking for him as well. You didn't even accept his second invite to dinner the very next day he saw you. In fact your demeanor and face seemed really..annoyed and angry. Oops. Well he guessed that was his own fault. Huh...Well he didn't want anyone hating him for any reason and he definitely didn't want any bad blood with anyone Leon considered a friend so it'd probably be best if he apologized. And by pure coincidence he happened to see you at the cafe again when getting food for his team.

You opted to sick at a table near the register with a few magazines you could look through on it placing Silver in the chair next to you and he splayed his arms out on the table placing his head on it. Obviously bored but you let it slide as he was tired. You grabbed the first magazine closest to you and opened it to a flurry of pokemon fashions and make up products for sell. Makes sense sense since it was a fashion magazine. With Silver practically almost falling asleep and you half way just flipping through the magazine neither of you noticed Raihan walking in, but just like yesterday he noticed you almost right off the bat. And smiled at you. Only you didn't look up until Silver hand tugged on your hand and gave a curious noise, pointing a pink hand over to the counter.

"Hungry again? Well I guess you would be hungry after all you went through," you hummed putting down the magazine. "Y'know we're supposed to wait for Gloria...But I can get you a bunch of water." He chirped lifting his head up from the table. "You used a lot of water so it's only fair you get some more-" You froze as the chair on your other side was pulled out as someone sat there....and you turned your head. .....And frowned. "Again? Really Dude?"

Raihan chuckled in his chair as he held his head in one hand and smiled that fanged grin at your deadpanned totally not interested please leave me alone frown channeling your inner bored drizzle face. "Yeah. Well you were sitting here by yourself-"

"Silver. Stand by with water gun."

Raihan's face dawned the same small eyed and open mouth frozen smile look when Silver immediately stood on the chair and narrowed his eyes at Raihan, giving an intimidating warning chirp. He immediately held up his hands. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa there, Champ! I come in peace!" You crossed your arms eyes narrowed. "No! Really I do! Peace! Peace!"

"Give me one good reason not to have my baby soak you to the bone?"

"Because.....You don't want to make a scene in a nice place like this and get kicked out?," Raihan asked nervously.

And you paused for a moment...and nodded deciding he had a point. "Ok. Silver stand down. But keep on stand by just in case." Silver looked to you..then to Raihan with narrow eyes before slowly sitting back down. "Ok. You have one minute and don't get any ideas. Silver's pretty protective of me and can spot things before me."

Raihan chuckled nervously looking between yours and Silver's glares before clearing his throat and speaking normally. "I just w-wanted to say Hi!"

"Uh huh." You really believed him. "Aren't you supposed to be taking care of your pokemon after the battle?....What even happened out there anyways?"

"Oh. Camilla's doing that."

"Camilla?"

"One of my personal trainers. She helps take care of the pokemon I have when I don't have them with me. Oh you must mean with your friend's corviknight right?" You nodded. Yeah. What even happened out there? "Oh. She accidentally slipped on the field and got in the pathway of the rockfall. I think her giant friend took initiative of what happened and stepped in to make sure she wouldn't get hurt."

"Oh." Thinking back on it now, that would explain why she was all covered in sand and was clutching onto her bird pokemon when the dust settled. "Well that explains that." And you pointed with a suspicious look to you. "But then why are you here now?"

"I always stop by this cafe when I'm here," he said casually with a shrug, "They make my favorite cakes and cappuccinos! Besides, they're the only ones in town who makes pokemon friendly donuts. My team loves 'em. After a rough battle like that they deserve a small reward for a good job don't they?" You didn't answer at first thinking it over. ...Well it's not like Raihan could've read your mind and known you were here, and you doubted he followed you. So you guessed he was telling the truth. "Hey. Why don't I buy you lunch while I'm here?" ....AAAAnd you were back to your deep scowl and narrowed eyes at him. "As a peace offering!" He clarified as Silver stood up seeing your scowl. "As a peace offering and an apology to show there's no hard feelings."

Your stomach grumbled at the mention of food. And Silver WAS hungry after all.....And free food was tempting. Plus it meant you wouldn't have to pay any money for your own meal. BBuuutt- "You DO realize if I agree to let you buy me food...It does NOT. NOOOTTT!! N. O. T. " You stressed pointing at his blinking face. "It does NOT mean I'm going 'out to lunch' with you! It doesn't mean I'm accepting any dates. I will accept it as a peace offering and nothing else. Not a date or anything of the like. And I wouldn't owe you anything since you're the one who offered to buy it."

"I fully realize that," he casually said smiling normally instead of that flirty or smug way. "I really meant it when I said I wanted to apologize." He held out his hand. "So...How about we start over? Hi. I'm Raihan, and I'd like to pay for your meal!" He smiled wider. "What's your name?"

You rose a brow a moment ....but you decided to be the bigger person and attempt to bury the hatchet. If not just for your sake, but for Gloria and Hop's. After all just like with Piers and Mr. Rose, you didn't want any bad blood between the officials and challengers. So after a silent moment you reached over to shake his hand. "Hello Mr. Raihan." You greeted professional as if you were in a job interview. "My name is Y/n L/n. And I hope you're ready to pay for two meals."

He blinked. "Two?"

You answered by pointing to Silver still eyeing him down. "He'll be less likely to hose you down if he's fed and watered."

"Ah." he nodded. "I see." Smiling he turned and waved a hand to the store owner. "Hey. I have two more things to add to my order!"

The owner blinked but smiled and nodded. "Sure! You want them to go too like the the other three?"

"Three?," you asked raising a brow and he nodded.

"Yeah. For the triplets. Gotta keep the kids under my care fed." At this your eyes widened in surprise. He chuckled at your response and rose a brow. "Surprised?"

"...Yyyeah. Kinda." You blinked pointing at him. "I didn't know you were a...Dad?" That certainly wasn't in game or any other media you knew. Was it because this was a different world than yours? Did you just forgot and not remember?! To your surprise raihan laughed. Not like Piers smooth laughs, his was more boisterous and loud like that of a dragon. But it didn't seem bad.

"Nah! I'm not their dad," he clarified looking back to you chuckling, "But I guess you can call me that." He shook his head. "Nah...The triplets just happened to be some kids who were down on their luck and let's be honest. I'll need someone to take over the gym when I decide to retire one day in the distant future."

"Are their parents alright with it?"

He shrugged. "I wouldn't know really."

"Why?"

"They were arrested for stealing shiny pokemon from a nature reserve a long time ago," he said casually chuckling at your shocked expression. "Hey. You did ask. Besides, I didn't like the thought of any of my hometown's kids being sent to the orphanage." He went oddly quiet for a moment looking at his hand...before smiling again and shrugging. "But hey. It works out for all of us in the end then. What did you want to eat, Ms. Sassy?"

You stared at him for a long moment and only really snapped back to reality when Silver smacked your arm making you flinch. "Huh?! OH! R-Right? .....You know what? How about just an instant noodle curry for me and a Sweet Boiled egg one for Silver?..And some water for him too."

He smiled and pointed at you. "Sure thing, Sassy!~ Hey! About those orders!"

He'd never have someone threaten to sick a pokemon on him before. Gotta say that was a new one. Never the less it did get his heart pumping from the thrill of it all...and ..something else there. He wasn't stupid. He knew there was another reason he was interested in your interactions with him but you weren't heartless towards him either. You apologized for threatening him with Silver which he accepted. Hey. No biggy. That one was on him after all. But amends all around were fine. But still that feeling racked his chest and he still wasn't sure what it was. He had to wait until the end of the year before he had another chance to see you again. The Semifinals and Champion Cup. Heh. You ended up sicking your drizzlie on him and having him literally jump over a sofa just to put some distance between the two of you. Which made Piers laugh again. Heck. You even got him a cute little duraludon keychain for Christmas. Heck he still used it for his house keys.

Then it happened.

The entire Eternatus incident. The incident that shook himself and all of Galar to the core. He couldn't remember how fast he had taken off back to Hammerlocke leaving his trainers in Opal's care where he arrived just in time to stop two of the three children who snuck in there, and then you had arrived there again panting and stressed beyond belief. Took him for a loop. Something like guilt striking through his chest. He couldn't stop you anyways when you marched into the powerplant and ran on through the danger to save your friends. He was surprised when he saw the powerplant for the first time along with all that fancy high tech equipment just beneath his gym's feet. And then there was the Chairman...Oh Mr. Rose. He didn't escape your wrath and he felt that same fluttery feeling slam into his chest when he saw you dish some justice that he couldn't top even if he tried. And then as quickly as you came you left leaving him to secure Mr. Rose himself. Someone had to stay behind to make sure the man responsible for this didn't get away after all...

But-....

He should've been there.

HE SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE!! Maybe if he had been there he could've done something to help and keep everyone safe from being hurt!! This was HIS gym stadium Arceus darn it! Why didn't he suspect anything!? Why didn't he do anything!? He could've done something to prevent this. Because when the elevator from the rooftop opened-...When two young children were crying over someone's unconscious body-.... Leon all scraped and bruised up came hobbling out cradling someone's limp body in his arms-...His stomach did summersaults like he never imagined before. He never expected to see you of all people hanging limp in Leon's arms wrapped up in his cape as the hurt champion struggled to take you to safety. Even Mr. Rose standing next to him seemed absolutely speechless at the sight of you. Leon, looking more panicked than Raihan had ever seen him before, looked desperately at Raihan eyes widened and full of fear. Yelled three words at Raihan.

"GET AN AMBULANCE!!"
