Just a Taste

Kofu x GN!Reader

Kofu likes giving you little tastes of his cooking! You're his favorite "customer." You want to give him something in return. Has less Kofu than intended, but I like the idea! A bit platonic, but who knows what could happen? Also, wrote this to get back into writing, so sorry if it's different to my usual stuff. I genuinely can't tell :')

Also, a Gimmighoul follows you around, but it isn't yours. It just... keeps finding you in random places.

(I know it isn't the same Gimmighoul that follows you in the games, I just think it'd be cute if this one in particular followed your expy)

Tone/Ending: Wholesome, Platonic (although that's up to interpretation)

Warnings: I promise it's wholesome, curse you internet for making things weird >:(

Word Count: A bit over 3,000

(__(~~~

"And THIS is the Tofu Puddin'!"

The man hands you a spoonful of the dessert. You eat it, taking a moment to really take in the texture, the aroma, the flavor, each component coming together for a light and fragrant treat.

"Ooooh, that one's REALLY good!"

Kofu's face splits into a wide grin.

"Ah, I knew you'd like it! I made this one especially to yer likin'!"

"Oh?"

Your eyes light up, causing him to do the same.

"Oh! I was just, er... I had a reason, me mind just isn't reelin' anythin' in at the moment..."

His expression showed he was being completely genuine. He really did have a reason, he just forgot.

"Haha, hey, that's fine!" You said after making sure nothing was left in your mouth. "Making spontaneous recipes is my specialty!"

He made a face like he just learned something amazing.

"Oh really now? That's quite interestin', what do you make?"

You... grin. Nervously at that. Memories of the most unhinged flavor combos flash through your mind. You actually aren't half-bad at making food, but for some reason, the good stuff is eluding you. He continues to look at you expectantly, as if he doesn't notice your demeanor change.

He does, he just doesn't want to accidentally rush you.

"Well, I can make a mean... eh..."

You gesture, not remembering the name.

"It's uh... I can't really remember what the name is, but uh, maybe you could tell by looking at a photo??"

You shrug and look at him with a "I have no clue, man" sorta face. You would be slightly embarrassed trying and failing to recall a dish like this in front of a professional chef, if said chef wasn't Kofu, the chillest dude you knew. He was so chill in fact, that this wasn't even a weird situation for you.

You have no idea what endeared you to him so much that he always gives you enough samples to count as a meal whenever you visit Cascarrafa, but you appreciate it. You couldn't really splurge on his food like you wish you could, so him giving you tastes of everything, as well as basically providing lunch for you was a development you were grateful for. One day you'll be a normal customer, you just have to budget for it.

"Heya, you all righty there?"

You're still shrugging, so you put your arms down.

"Oh, yeah! Sorry, I uh... was just thinkin' about somethin'..."

You unconsciously took on his accent for a moment, which causes him to huff in amusement.

"Ah, I see the ocean's graced yer tongue?"

"Eh?"

Your face morphs into one of sheer confusion. He simply laughs.

"Teehee, nothing, nothing at all..."

You try to think about what you did to prompt that statement, but nothing comes to mind, so you silently accept what he said and tuned back into the conversation at hand.

"Anyway, you're free to keep the dish it was served in. This batch was made especially for you after all, it's a special occasion!"

He gently pushes the Flamigo dish toward you, which you're eager to take and polish off, but you feel guilty.

"Thank you, I uh- I wish I could pay you back-"

"Nonsense! You don't owe me a thing, ya hear?"

You nod, accepting his kind gesture, but you still wished to do something for him.

(__(~~~

You walk out of Kofu Lounge, now empty Flamigo dish in hand. It really is a nice little thing, well made and very cute. You can see yourself using it for drinks and desserts a lot.

You don't even get four steps away from the door when you hear the familiar sound of a vaguely insectoid cry. You jump, head swiveling toward the sound.

"Ah, Gimmini! What's up?"

It chirps a little, acknowledging your question, but doesn't try to show you specifically what the answer is. You sigh.

"Why won't you let me catch you, dude?? We could be like, best friends!"

The Gimmighoul doesn't respond to this, but the little smile widens just enough for you to notice before going back to how it usually is.

"AH-HAH! So you're NOT repulsed by me!"

The man that usually stands near the entrance at this time glances at you funny. You let out an awkward little laugh before grabbing Gimmini.

"Sorry, talking to my friend, we'll go!"

You then briskly walk off to the nearest Flying Taxi.

(__(~~~

You're lifting Gimmini's leg, observing it as it sits on your counter eating a snack.

"Dude, how do you follow me so well? You only have short little legs-"

At your comment, it drops the bean you gave it, letting out an indignant little gargle before turning away and crossing its arms.

"Nonononono, I'm impressed!" You start, bending down with your hands clasped. "I don't mean it in a bad way."

It keeps its arms folded, but it turns slightly more toward you, one eye opening to look at your pleading face. It then seemingly rolls its eyes, an amused smile creeping on its face before giving up the facade of hurt. It leans in to hug your face, causing you to chuckle.

"Good, that's better..."

You're happy it doesn't seem to have actually been hurt. You don't even know if it's ever hugged you before, closest thing being one time it held onto your leg when spooked by a Murkrow.

Suddenly, a thought comes to mind. A joke of course, but a moment ruining thought all the same.

"Hey, wanna help me rob a bank?"

You feel it pause for a moment before backing up a little. You turn head-on to see its face, portraying an emotion you're not quite sure you're reading correctly.

"Don't worry, I'm joking! I'd never rob a bank, it's..."

You momentarily space out.

"...not a good idea."

Gimmini glares at you for a moment before getting up. You imagine it feels larger than it is, but its puffed-out chest and balled "fists" make it look like a cute little bug trying to look aggressive. You snicker under your breath before you can stop it, causing it to look at you and make that same gargling noise from earlier.

"Haha, sorry, you're just so cute!" You say earnestly.

It grumbles the best it can with its weird metallic vocal cords before letting up its stiff pose. You sigh, both out of relief and because you now see what's going on with you.

"Sorry, sorry," you lean your back against the counter, staring at the ceiling. "I got a lot on my mind is all."

Gimmini now seems curious, letting out an inquisitive little chatter before picking the bean it dropped back up, taking a bite.

"Heh, I wanna repay Kofu for his kindness, but I feel like no matter what I do or get, it won't really be enough. Not to mention, have you HEARD how many people admire the guy?? He probably has someone doing something for him all the time!"

Gimmini is listening quite intently to your mini-rant, as if considering something. It then suddenly freezes and cries out as if realizing something. You sit up and turn to it.

"Eh? What's up?"

Gimmini jumps up, tossing the rest of the bean to the side before running toward the door. It urges you to follow it, so you do.

(__(~~~

"Hey! Slow down!"

You're having trouble keeping up with its bounding. It doesn't turn towards you, but you can almost feel the smirk on its face.

"Hahah, proving yourself huh? Fun! Wha-"

You stop for a second, unable to keep up with the seemingly endless energy of a Pokémon.

"Sorry for ever doubtin' ya, man!" You pant out. "Please go easy on me, I'm only human!"

You then suddenly remember the countless times Kofu's had to abruptly run off to do stuff, from auctions to meetings, and he seemed to be a completely unstoppable force unless he got distracted.

You feel your face heat up a little. That man was an anomaly to you.

"Ok, um-" You look up at the Pokémon in front of you, waiting for you to be able to follow again.

"Ugh! I'm good, I'm good..."

It nods before continuing on its way. Breathing heavily, you follow it until it reaches a small crevasse in the side of a cliff. You tilt your head a little at the sight.

"What's all this?"

It doesn't respond, simply crawling in. You stand there, waiting for whatever it had in store until you see... a treasure chest emerge?

"What?? H- you had your chest the whole time? Why don't you use it?"

The Gimmighoul opens the chest and makes a sad gurgling noise, but it still doesn't seem to want to directly answer your question. Fair enough.

Instead, it uses the space it now has out in the open to dig through the piles of coins until it finds something and brings it up to you.

Your eyes widen.

"A PEARL!?"

You cover your mouth, looking around to make sure nobody's around.

"No, no, absolutely not! That's your treasure!"

The Gimmighoul stares at you before silently holding it out more, as if saying "Ok?? Take it."

You shudder a little.

"Nooooooo waaaaay. This? That's yours. I don't need anything from you, honest!"

It just now hit you how much money this Pokémon has compared to most people, probably. But you still didn't want it to give you any of its treasure.

"I don't need jewls, or cash. I need a really good gift idea! But like-"

A thought hits you.

"...I, uh, actually don't know if he even likes gifts, much less what he'd actually want..."

The Gimmighoul frowns and furrows its eyebrows, dropping the pearl and staring as if it thinks you're insane. You feel ashamed all of a sudden.

"Ugh, I know! Getting worked up over nothing. I'm sorry!"

It finally puts the pearl back amongst its other belongings before taking the chest back inside its hidey-hole. As it does this, you think about anything gift-y you could in relation to him. You almost drew up a blank until you remembered one important thing.

Gasp!

The Gimmighoul pauses its task, poking its head out to look at you.

"He likes going to the auctions a lot! What if I got him something even rarer that what they offer?"

The Gimmighoul seems worried about how fast you pivoted, but it nods regardless.

"Yeah... instead of saving up for one big 'ol meal, I can catch a boat to another region! Go get him something from... actually, no clue, let's scrap that."

The Gimmighoul sighs in relief before finally finishing the task of packing its chest away. It then hops over and scales your frame (which was, again, faster than you expected). It ended up hanging onto your shoulder as you thought some more.

"His food is mostly ocean-y, right?"

Gimmini nods.

"Ok, yeah! I don't have a plan, but I have an idea!"

Gimmini seems concerned again, but it doesn't do anything.

"Ok, OK! I need... a game plan."

You paced a little bit, Gimmini seemingly trying to come up with ideas as well.

"...what if I cooked for him since he always cooks for everyone else?"

The Gimmighoul seems interested in this plan, turning toward you.

"...no, I'm no professional."

It frowns, although you don't see it.

"Gosh, this is hard. But why? Don't I know him better than this?"

Gimmini shrugs with one arm, still hanging on, but after this, it hoists itself up and climbs onto your head, lying down on it and hanging on tight.

"...eh, I'll uh... I dunno. Let's go home."

You start to walk away up the path when someone comes blazing toward you two.

"Vaultin’ Veluza! Not again!"

You scream and jump back in order to protect yourself and Gimmini. As you fall back, the person stops upon realizing what happened.

"Shoot! I apologi-"

He stops upon realizing it's you. He calls out your name, which barely registers as you rub your tailbone.

"Ugh, huh?"

You feel Gimmini patting your forehead before pointing to the man, prompting you to look up.

"Kofu?"

"Gahaha, I apologize! Truly, I do." he begins while holding an arm out "I just get so lost in the ocean of me mind sometimes that the whole world disappears, includin' the sound of me alarm! Gahah!"

You take his hand, allowing him to help you up. You didn't even realize how close to Porto Marinada you really were until then.

He turns away once you're up, feeling quite bashful after almost barreling you over.

"Ah, I must make it up to ya-"

"-nonononono, no way! You're fine, really!"

"Oh no, I insist!"

You panic internally. Why would he try and repay you for a little mistake?

"No, really! I- well, I was actually out here to, uh," you look down before finishing "get you something..."

His eyes widen as he stares at you.

"Get... me somethin'...?"

You don't respond right away, but he doesn't push you to.

His eyes widen more when "getting something" reminds him of his current quest.

"VAULTIN' VELUZA! THE AUCTION!"

He then runs off again, catching you off-guard.

"I-i'll be back to talk to you later, ya hear!?"

"Uh-"

He's way too far to hear you at this point, so you sigh.

"...alright."

Gimmini had been silently laughing at the absurdity of the situation, but you didn't realize until you calmed down and felt it trying to hold itself back. Instead of calling it out, however, you make an offer.

"Wanna see how fast I can be?"

(__(~~~

You're basically on your deathbed by the time you reach Porto Marinada. Lying on the ground and heaving, you remember why warm-ups are important, not just for your limbs. Gimmini returns rolling a fresh water to you. You weakly take it, letting out a breathless thanks. It nods, an amused yet concerned look on its face.

You manage to open and promptly chug the entire thing in one go. Still not satisfied, yet a bit less dehydrated, you manage to sit up a little. Gimmini brings another water to you.

"Tha- uh, wait. Hold up, where did you get these?"

It points toward a random stand. You heart sinks.

"Y-you BID on these!?"

It stares at you as if what it did wasn't a big deal.

"Wha- where did, how did you- but your coins are ancient??"

It just pushes the bottle to you, as if telling you to drink now and ask questions later. You groan, not wanting to waste them now that they're... yours? Gimmini's? Is this a gift, or is it just sharing? You sigh, sipping from the next bottle while glaring at Gimmini, who in turn seems unbothered and climbs onto your knee, continuing to stare right back at you with a neutral expression.

Your stare-down is eventually interrupted by Kofu.

"Hey there! Ya doin' alright?"

He's holding something, but you can't tell what.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm... fine."

He grins.

"Good! I also see your little buddy here took good care of ya! That lil' one's a keeper!"

You huff out of amusement, side eyeing the coin hunter, who looks smug.

"Yeah? Well, it won't let me catch it for some reason, but stalking me's the next best thing I suppose."

It flinches at this, looking at you with a "really??" face. You let out a breathy laugh.

"I'm teasing! You mock me all the time!"

It turns, crossing its arms again and refusing to look at you. You decide to let it have its moment and continue conversing with Kofu.

"So! What's up?"

He pauses, eyes narrowing as he tries to remember what he was going to say before it hits him.

"Oh yeah! I was going to ask you what you were doin', sayin' you're "gettin' me somethin', what's that about?"

You feel a chill wash over you. Oh right, you gotta explain yourself.

"Uh, well uh, I was, uh-"

Gimmini lifts its tail up and slams it down as hard as it can, arms still folded. It doesn't hurt, but it snaps you out of it.

"Oh! I just wanted to pay you back, for always letting me taste your cooking..."

By the time you finish your statement, you go from awkwardly avoiding eye contact to staring at the ground. Kofu doesn't say anything at first, but you see him shift his weight a little using your peripheral vison.

"Ah, I... see..." he finally gets out. You're worried you said something wrong. Looking up, you try to reassure him.

"Hey, não te preocupes com isso..."

He slowly nods, but he doesn't seem satisfied. In fact, he seems to feel bad.

"Ah, I was worried about this."

You tilt your head, eyes narrowing ever so slightly in confusion.

"Worried? About what?"

He lifts the bag over his shoulder.

"I was a bit worried you'd start to feel indebted to me."

Your face twists into a strange sort of questioning.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

He smiles softly.

"I didn't want you to feel like ya owe me anythin' in return for what I do. Please do believe me when I say I just enjoy feedin' ya."

You stare blankly at him.

"Wha- really?"

He nods.

"Yes! So please, you kin put yer worries to rest. I really don't feel like this is unfair in any way. My treat!"

You feel a warmth spreading from your core. He seems so sincere. Maybe it really wasn't an issue, although something still feels kind of wrong. Not that you doubt him, just that you still want to do something for him. Maybe a surprise would work? Or would he not appreciate that? Gosh, this doesn't need to be so complicated. You decide just being nice and doing stuff for him for the fun of it would be better than stressing about some invisible tally marks. Easier said than done, but it's a start.

You snap out of your thoughts and respond.

"Alright."

You stare blankly again, not quite sure where to go from here. Gimmini lets out a garbled huff before hopping off, walking over to its new supply of fresh waters. Kofu lets out a laugh.

"Ah, I wonder how your lil' one is gonna carry all these?"

Gimmini doesn't seem too worried, but you are.

"CRAP, you're right!"

You get up, walking around Kofu to try and help it.

"Gimmini, how will you take all this home? You PAID for this! Y- what even IS your home!?"

Gimmini made a loud noise as if telling you to chill out, "fists" up to its chest to drive the point home. You're both glaring at each other, exchanging more words (and cries) as you try to figure out how to go about this.

Kofu sighs and shakes his head at the sight, although it was full of amusement.

"You two are truly somethin' else."

And maybe that was your answer to why he liked you so much. Maybe something about you just caught his eye, and he had quite the eye for interesting things.

(__(~~~

A chill one!

THIS CAME OUT WAY TOO PLATONIC BUT I LIKE IT, just a broke expy that wants to repay their super cool chef friend :')

I wonder why he likes you so much? The world may never know 👻

Speaking of 👻, I debated on whether or not including Gimmighoul would be too ironic or not (you can't afford to splurge and buy his food right now, but you're being followed by a literal treasure chest mimick), but I decided that if I acknowledge it but don't make it too much of a thing, it'd be Ok. I just think they're neat! Expy would never try and get it to pay for stuff for them, but... I wanted to give Gimmighoul the time to shine like how I gave Grusha's "reader expy" a Falinks

Also, whether Kofu's the one who actually brought the waters or not is up to you! On one hand, it'd be funny if your literal creechur was able to buy it for you, but it'd make sense for him to notice you lying on the ground and just have Gimmighoul bring them to you. Plus, he wouldn't want you to feel like you owe, or, after your talk, feel worse about owing him, so he wouldn't mention it. I dunno!

Also NOT ME FORGETTING WHY I HAD KOFU MAKE YOU PUDDING TO YOUR TASTE 😭

I had a specific explanation that was so cute, but I guess the forgetful/easily distracted stuff worked out in the story's favor since that is him to a tee

Cloud Nine (ii)

Summary: Returning home to Paldea to retire, after living a life known as the "Champion of Champions" brings you back to an old friend -now a new love- with dark secrets who need your help.

Pairing: Javi G x f!Reader

Rating: T (Any smut is going to be implied only)

Notes/Warnings: Nothing major, this story is going to be fairly light hearted, though I will be using some of the wild Pokédex entries as reference for a few scenes.

Written for @yearofcreation2023

Series Masterlist | Year of Video Game AUs Masterlist

and how much cooler could my life get? (3k)

Geeta waved cheerfully and you couldn’t help but return her enthusiasm, the League Chairwoman had been a fierce competitor during your own run and ever since you’d left she’d become a good friend keeping you updated on how many students came that qualified to compete for the title of Champion (not many), and if there was anyone who loved Pokémon in all of Paldea as fiercely as you did it was her.

“So, the Champion of Champions is ready to retire? It’s about time.” Geeta nudged you playfully and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes, following her into the room where the rest of the Gym Leaders were all assembled. It was a camera free meeting, which Iono had tried to put up a fight about, but even she relented that if they were going to discuss major League infrastructure that it’d be best to keep that from the public for now.

“Vaultin’ Vezula! If it isn’t our Champion, home again I see!” Kofu was on his feet in a second, quick to come and clap you on the shoulder, with enough force to make you stumble, but the cheerful chef still made you grin even though you were sure that you’d end up with a bruise. You introduced yourself to the room, given the number of people here you hadn’t met or seen in so long, and most of them were really welcoming even if they were intimidated by Geeta’s presence.

As you took your seat it was Grusha who cleared his throat to speak up first.

“Team Rocket thugs were spotted on the mountain, trying to steal Pokémon from academy students, they’ve been getting bolder.”

“I’ve had my fair share appear in Artazon, they’ve tried to steal the Sunflora during my Gym Challenge.”

“They’re all around Cortondo too, I’ve had to request more Officers for patrols because of how many new students were being cornered.”

You listened to each Gym Leader begin talking about Team Rocket sightings, still not sure just how far Lucas’ influence reached, and noticed the way Poppy was watching you intently. If you were less paranoid you might’ve chalked it up to her being a child but you weren’t willing to rule anything out, not with your life -and Javi’s life- on the line here.

“Did we create a map network of where they’ve appeared? We may be able to triangulate their base location if there’s a center point.” Assuming Lucas was dumb enough to make his manor on the outskirts of Alfornado was a bad idea, for all his grandstanding and fake smiles Lucas was craftier than anyone could expect, you wouldn’t factor it out but you weren’t going to go charging in Water Gun blazing.

“We have a few locations marked but we hadn’t thought to do so immediately.” They sent you a copy of the map pins to your Rotom Phone, your eyes scanning to see if there were any possible patterns even with the limited sightings available to you. There wasn’t, especially with Area Zero blocked off in the center of the region completely, so for now you made a note to keep an eye on reports of Team Rocket sightings and add them to the map.

“I’ll start investigating the areas marked, since we’re still waiting on this year’s group of Academy students to progress through the League, and if anyone else has any sightings let me know immediately.” As the Champion you did have the allowance to forgo Squawkabilly taxis and just use a flying Pokémon to travel, since any League responsibilities were a priority, and your Corviknight -Rook- was always ready to stretch her wings.

Grusha nodded and the meeting shifted to talks of limited certain press interactions now that Rotom Phones were giving people unhindered access to Uva students and League challengers, Iono’s streaming popularity had inspired battle streamers and care-taking streams or food making streams, but the adult members of the press that began stalking and cornering these minors were a problem that had gone unchecked for so long.

As the room began to clear, once the meeting was adjourned and Geeta had a plan of attack to draft new limitations for the protection of the kids, you were stopped by Katy and Grusha for a moment in private. The two of them waited for everyone to get out of hearing range, with the former summoning her Nymble to make sure that the coast was clear.

“We think Team Rocket has a foothold with the Police force, and maybe the League.” Grusha was right to the point and you decided to choose your words carefully since you didn’t know if these two could be trying to learn what you know to report back to Lucas.

“It’s always a possibility, do you have viable evidence? After I helped put Giovanni behind bars I was sure that the records of Team Rocket members were thoroughly combed and that every member was subsequently locked up too.” Katy let out a soft noise before she glanced at Grusha, then handed you her Rotom Phone. On the screen she had a video playing of a police officer talking to a member of Team Rocket, near the Cortondo gym, promising him a better haul of Pokémon if he didn’t touch the Smoliv. Reminding the grunt that the Pokémon from Javi’s business were off limits.

“I sent this to the police and all that happened was new officers being sent to Cortondo, no arrests were made, so when I elevated it to the League and nothing changed… well I got suspicious.” Katy watched you send a copy of the video to yourself, taking her phone back, and you looked between the two of them carefully.

“I’ll head up to the Glaseado region to start my investigation, since they’ll likely expect me in Cortondo first given the amount of young trainers that come through. What I want the two of you to do for now is ask any trainer, any resident, if or how often they’ve seen Team Rocket grunts and a rough idea of where. We can’t find the source without narrowing their headquarters down.” Both Gym Leaders nodded and set out while you waited a moment, leaning against the wall, and Sneaky -your Mimikyu- slipped out of your shadow and hopped up onto your shoulder.

“Guess I should throw on a parka, huh Sneaky?” You had to make the moles, whoever they were, think you had a pattern; it was easy as the Champion to announce where you were going and appear there, it’d be expected of you. Meanwhile you tapped out a message on your Rotom Phone to Jacq, your former classmate -now biology teacher- about that potential Champion of his. Getting a child involved, a student no less, was risky but you personally had to handle this as carefully as you could.

If that meant being the distraction was the role you had to play then you'd take it.

Addie Cage was very chill compared to her father, Nicolas and Olivia had been thrilled that you’d reached out to meet with the contender Geeta and the other gym leaders had scouted out for you, you’d spent far too long having the actor attempt to convince you to do some public interview thing with him before he relented so you could plan a meeting with his daughter. Now as you sat at the picnic tables, having already laid everything out for her, you were very impressed with her immediate go-getter attitude.

“I’m not afraid of those Team Rocket thugs, a few of them have tried but none of them are as good as my team is.” You could understand now where Geeta and the others saw potential in the girl, she valued each of her partners in a way that some trainers just didn’t, the bonds of trust and love she was building with her Pokémon would inspire them to be stronger for her as well.

“That’s what I like to hear, I’ve reached out to the other region Champions and so far it looks like Team Rocket is the only one that has a return on the horizon. So if we stop them here then that should be the end of things.” You traded contact information directly once you knew she’d change her course back to Cortondo, to start looking around as subtly as she could, under the guise of wanting to look for specific Pokémon for her team. As you donned your parka and called Rook out, nodding to Addie, your Corviknight set off for Glaseado Mountain.

You would have to contact Javi and make sure you kept him updated too, though for now you were careful of using any contact that could be recorded or intercepted, but for now you made you way into the cold. As you expected the crowd was waiting for you, you had told Grusha to heavily mention your return, and after answering questions and signing autographs you got to work on scouting around the area for any signs of Team Rocket activity. A message from Addie confirmed that there were sightings in Cortondo, in the span of a few hours -while you’d searched through the cold- she had beaten three grunts and made sure that they were given to police custody.

Coordinating travel with Addie was easy, her Miraidon presented a lot of surprise in that you had never heard of the Pokémon before and it offered her much more mobility than a Cyclizar ever would, and by the time night began to fall you felt much more confident about your challenger and her capabilities as well as being able to outsmart Team Rocket after Addie recruited a few of her friends to the cause. Penny, Arven, Nemona, along with the former Team Star bosses -and their crews- were eager to help protect Pokémon all over Paldea and you couldn’t help but feel a little bit of regret and guilt that you were doing to them what had happened to you.

Making these children step up to protect their region because you’d been so absent from the League by traveling that nothing had changed to make things better for them.

Javi’s penthouse apartment was warm and you could hear voices when you opened the door, closing it silently and using the heavily padded carpet to your advantage.

“I did not tell her anything, Lucas, if she knew the truth do you truly believe she would have chosen to be with me?” Hearing the sound of Javi’s panic set you on edge but hearing his cousin’s name explained it well enough, you moved as quietly as you could to slip closer to where the duo conversed without being noticed and ducked behind the kitchen island to stay well out of sight of Javi’s study door. You silenced your Rotom Phone and set it to record, just in case Lucas said anything incriminating as a response, and the Pokémon controlled device moved to the top of the door frame silently.

“You do have a point, but I can assure you that if I find out you lied to me the consequences will be far worse than simply taking Arizona from you. It won’t be too hard to stage an accident for our Champion of Champions or even make her the scapegoat-“ His phone began to ring loudly and you resisted the urge to go in ready to fight, so far all that had been revealed was a threat against your life and that wouldn’t be enough.

Whoever was on the other end must have said something that set Lucas off.

“What do you mean our employees have been turning up in police stations significantly more? How are they losing to children?!” Lucas stormed out, slamming the door closed loudly to talk on Javi’s patio, and you waited until you heard Javi’s soft sniffles before sending out Sneaky to ensure the place was actually empty of Lucas’ possible men to hear you. Hurrying while Lucas’ back was turned to the elevator entrance, setting your bag down and slipping your shoes off in the entryway as if you'd just arrived.

Lucas’s head turned, the thick glass muffling what he was saying, and met your surprised gaze; it took all your acting ability honed from interviews to smile warmly and wave at the man like he was still just an exasperating relative. Lucas’ smile was a touch sinister -if you knew what to look for- as he waved back and pointed to the phone. You turned toward the study with a wrinkle of your nose and a roll of your eyes, crossing the penthouse to where you boyfriend was, and Javi’s eyes were wet with tears when you knocked on the study door; he darted a panicked look toward the window that made you shake your head gently.

“I slipped in while you two were… talking. I heard enough to know he think I don’t know the truth and that he thinks he can kill me or make me his fall girl.” Your whispered confession made Javi wrap his arms around your torso and you ran your fingers through his curls gently, cooing softly to make the sniffles go away, and you made sure your Rotom phone was tucked away when you heard the patio door open again. Lucas looked like he hadn’t just been screaming, which was impressive, as he walked into the room.

“There she is, our Champion of Champions has come home, how have you been?” You let go of Javi to hug the other man, not wanting to alert him to anything.

“Exhausted, the press is a nightmare so I spent so much of my time camping, this is the first time in a long time I’ve had a bed to sleep in; which just made me realize how badly my back hurts.” Lucas laughed with you and didn’t complain when you moved to sit down in one of the two heavily padded arm chairs, taking the other, as Javi excused his tears by saying Lucas had delivered good news. Your head tipped and the man only huffed before pulling a ring box out of his pocket.

“Oh? Who’s the lucky person?”

“Her name is Leona, our daughter Poppy is a member of the Elite Four., I’ve been putting this off but decided it was about time.”

Now you understood why Lucas influence in the League was both slow and very high up, as a child Poppy wasn’t given tasks that allowed her a lot of direct influence but she had to be permitted to sit in on League meetings.

“I didn’t know you had a daughter, Poppy is a darling little girl.” Javi looked just as surprised as you felt at the revelation, you suspected Lucas had kept his personal life very far from Javi on the chance that your boyfriend decided to finally fight back. Unseating Poppy as the Steel Type trainer for the Elite Four likely wouldn’t be difficult, all someone had to do was defeat her in a best of five battle after applying to the role, and if push came to shove you wouldn’t mind being a member of the Elite Four rather than the Champion if it meant securing Javi’s freedom.

“Somehow I got lucky that she’s most like her mother, I should probably allow you two some time together given your no doubt busy schedule.”

“Oh, well, just more of the same I guess. Preparing for the League season to potentially allow me to retire, making sure the Gym Leaders and Elite Four are up to snuff, and now working to shut down Team Rocket before they can get a solid foothold. I think the press is my biggest issue, since they’re too excited for interviews and whatnot, but I’m sure I’ll find whoever is trying to steal Pokémon from their trainers and revive Team Rocket soon and I’m more than willing to work with the League even if I get retired.” You decided to test the waters, to make sure he truly believed Javi hadn’t told you a thing, and Lucas’ soft chuckle as he patted you on the shoulder was warm with fondness.

“I’m sure you will, you certainly proved me wrong from so long ago, you’ve proven many naysayers wrong by making it as far as you have. Be safe.” As he left you waited for Sneaky to give you the all clear, the little ghost Pokémon purring when you picked it up to hug it close, and Javi met your gaze with a sad smile. If Lucas was telling the truth and Poppy was his connection to the League you had to be very careful how you handled this, sending a message to Geeta to stop my your apartment tomorrow, and you sighed softly.

“I had to get students involved, since they can move around virtually undetected, the press and Lucas will have their eyes on me. Addie, the one that Geeta and the other Gym Leaders have said is shaping up the be a solid contender to unseat me, got her friends involved too. I’m putting children in the line of fire, Javi-“

“Was that not what happened to you? Even before you began the Champion of a region, on your journey through it you were putting these organizations behind bars, and until the League steps in to do more this is the only way. Now that you’re home that can be your aspiration, to change things for the better for those that come after us, but for now you need to take advantage of this to keep ahead of him. I will not lose you to his greed, to this evil of my family.” Javi buried his face into your neck and you nodded, perched in his lap as you vowed to somehow repay Addie and her friends for doing what you couldn’t and cleaning up Paldea for good.

"Addie's father, Nicolas, is my favorite actor so it is very much bizarre to think that she's going to be facing you soon."

"Really? Huh, I guess I'll have to take him up on his offer to meet sometime then."

Javi's soft eyes and the way he silenced the slight whimper made you smile and kiss him on the corner of his mouth.

"You'd be attending too, silly man, don't act like I won't use my connections to make you happy too."

While it was a no strings attached offer you were more than delighted in how he expressed his gratitude.

Hiiii! I love your work!! Here's my request, maybe it's a bit silly but I think this could be funny.

How would the Gym Leaders respond to their s/o being tipsy/drunk?

OOOOH this is very funny. Full disclosure, I don’t drink often. Like maybe three times a year. So this is based on my limited experience. Hope you enjoy!!

CW: Alcochol

Gym Leaders With Their Drunk S/O

Katy

She’s also rather tipsy herself as she hangs off your arm and giggles. It’s no fun drinking by yourself! The two of you stumble after each other, barely able to speak through mouthfuls of laughter, and the kisses she keeps pressing against your cheeks. Katy’s an affectionate drunk. She finds it romantic when you share a drink, two straws from the same glass. I hope you like fruity drinks, they’re her favorite.

Brassius

He links his arm with you to keep your footsteps even. The last thing he wants is you tripping and falling on your face. Ushers you to bed, with a glass of water and a bottle of tylenol, before making his way into the studio for the night. Secretly, he is quite pleased to have the opportunity to pull an all-nighter. As much as he feels warm when you worry him into a good nights sleep, he enjoys the inspiration he gets under the stars. What you don’t know won’t hurt you,

Kofu

His tolerance is greater than most others, which you knew, but still insisted on trying to drink him under the table. Kofu gives you a pat on the back, pays your tab, and carries you home on his back with a booming laugh and a few teasing remarks. You wake the next morning to a pounding headache and a greasy breakfast. Kofu hasn’t slowed at all. No fair.

Grusha

He sighs and acts like keeping an eye on you is some Atlas sized burden he has to bear. In reality, he can feel his ego growing each second you slur over a compliment or plop your head against his shoulder. Grusha takes you outside in the snow and snickers as you complain. Come on, the snow’s supposed to sober you up, y’know? Grusha will make fun of your drink of choice despite being incapable of taking a shot without gagging.

Tulip

Another Gym Leader with an incredibly high tolerance. You’re giggling and red in the face while Tulip stares adoringly at you, absent-mindedly stirring her drink. You can tell when she’s tipsy. Tulip gets much more open with PDA. Cupping your face, she tells you how sweet you are as you melt. For some reason, you wake up in a blanket fort in the living room of Tulip’s apartment. The two of you crawl into the bathroom for some water and headache medication.

Ryme

She takes this opportunity to push you on stage to do some karaoke. You get to see her on stage, now it’s her turn. Sing your heart out, babe, Ryme’ll be cheering for you louder than anyone else. On the way home, she carries you over the threshold with you in her arms, a huge grin plastered on her face. All her bravado dissipates when you drunkenly joke she’s practicing for your wedding. You’ve never seen her so flustered filling a glass up with water for you.

Larry

He keeps feeding you, so you haven’t managed to get past the “mildly buzzed” mark. Larry is significantly more intoxicated than you. His voice isn’t louder than a mumble, slurring something as he aims another spoonful of soup towards your mouth. Insisting it was lonely to drink by yourself, he bought a drink alongside you. Who knew he was such a lightweight?

How would the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four react to holding a baby for the time? Plz and thanks

I am not a baby expert in the slightest. The last time I held one was, like, five years ago and for five seconds. Ended up making this holding a baby, but also babysitting scenarios.

Gym Leaders And Elite Four Holding A Baby For The First Time (Sort of. Kofu and Rika have experience)

Katy

- She’s a natural. At first, she’s a little nervous, so she handles the baby as if they’re made of glass. After about a minute, she’s got the baby swaddled in one arm as she sprinkles powdered sugar on a new batch of donuts. Between reading orders, she has small conversations with the baby. “Woah! Don’t want to over mix.” and “Do you think we need more strawberries in this? I think so too.”

Brassius

- Very awkward about the entire situation. He’s fine to babysit if it’s an emergency, though he’d prefer if whoever asked didn’t make a habit of it, but he has no idea what he’s doing. He resigns himself to not getting much sculpting done today, he worries he’d accidentally leave the baby on a pottery wheel, so he finds a bench and sits with the baby in his lap until their parent comes back. Incredibly stiff the entire time.

Kofu

- Kofu is 100% a well-seasoned veteran of taking care of kids. I can’t imagine a scenario where he doesn’t know what to do. He has a baby carrier at the ready and will continue going about day-to-day life with the baby sitting at his front. He engages with them a lot, casually pointing out the sights of Cascarrafa, mixing his responses with mimicked baby babble or full sentences.

Larry

- Really doesn’t know what he’s doing. He tries to mimic the way he’s seen on television but ends up holding the baby on his shoulder, too used to Poppy’s insistent piggyback rides. Takes the baby to work with him and responds to emails by taking the baby’s hands in his and pressing random keys on his keyboard. It works out well because they start laughing. When it’s time to feed them, he tries the baby food himself. He thinks it’s gross and feels bad for making the poor kid eat it.

Ryme

- Another person who doesn’t know what she’s doing, but she does well. Like Larry, she brings the baby to her job, with carefully placed sunglasses over their little eyes. When she goes on stage, the baby is settled comfortably on her hip. Midway through, she’ll hold the microphone to the baby's lips and the crowd goes wild as they let loose a string of giggly gurgles.

Tulip

- She has absolutely zero experience with children, especially not babies. Awkwardly holds the baby against her chest, her arms making an X across their back, with her phone held between her shoulder and ear. Tulip talks to the baby like they’re an adult, which is endearing to watch, as she tries her best to take care of them. Breathes a sigh of relief when their parent returns.

Grusha

- He holds the baby by the armpits, far from his body, as he tries to stutter out an excuse. It doesn’t work, his friend has already hurried off down the mountain. Grusha awkwardly shuffles the child into his arms; it’s uncomfortable for the both of them. He hurries inside out of the cold. Ends up watching children’s shows with them as if he’s watching a reality show. “I can’t believe they didn’t like Rarity’s dresses. Twilight Sparkle looks like a wizard.”

Hassel

- Surprisingly, and contrary to his raw grandpa energy, has almost no experience holding babies, though he’s more than happy to babysit. He spends the first few hours reading a parenting book he got from the Academy’s entrance hall so the way he holds the baby is exactly as recommended. Plays peekaboo and gets his hair pulled the majority of the time. He’s a good sport about it despite sporting a missing chunk of hair on his scalp.

Rika

- Another baby-holding veteran. I headcanon her as Poppy’s cousin, and I can easily imagine Rika frequently babysitting for her when she was little(er). Holds the baby on her hip as she meanders about her apartment getting some chores she’s been putting off done. Very playful with them, her favorite thing to do is blow raspberries on their belly. Poppy always burst into giggles when she did it and this baby is the same.
