Popping That Bubble
Summary: If Ramona is good at anything, it's being blunt as hell. If she sees someone who might need a rude awakening, she'll gladly put her words to hopefully good use.
Aka: Ramona needs royal compensation for all the bullshit she's willingly putting herself into.
Notes: This was something i was making for a short while! Some spoilers for Indigo Disk below! And also just wanna say I really like Carmine's character, but she does need a talking too, hence Ramona. I think that's everything, so I hope you enjoy!
~~~
Ramona severely underestimated how bad the situation was. Kieran's sudden- well. Maybe not sudden, they hadn't seen him since Kitakami - change was….unsettling, to say the least. But not something completely unexpected, if she was being honest. That doesn't mean she wished it didn't happen, especially when both his and Luca's already awkward situation is made more awkward….
And now, Drayton ( that fucking bitch ass motherfucker-) has pretty much forced Luca to take on their elite four to dethrone Kieran which- it just gives her such a headache thinking of how all of that could go south. But, and she hates agreeing with Drayton here, dethroning Kieran is probably the best way to pop that bubble he’s holding himself in. Drayton is still a fucking bitch though.
Which leads them both to here. Luca just finished battling Crispin - a close battle if has ever seen one - and the two decided to take a small break with a picnic…..the sandwich making made her hungry.
Luca has been….quiet. Unnaturally so. Even before, with his anxiety of seeing Kieran again, he was always the more talkative of the two. But now he just sits in silence, watching their Pokemon play.
Hm.
“ So.” Ramona starts, “ How ya feelin'?” She watches Luca jump slightly, looking at her with wide eyes.
“ Huh? What?” Luca says, causing Ramona to roll her eyes a bit.
“ How are you feeling, Luca. About everything…. about Kieran,”
“ …..Oh,” Luca looks down, “ I….I don't know” He sighs, breaking a piece of his sandwich, and eats it.
“ He’s changed so much. Like- you saw how he treated that league club member! And he just….there's just no light in his eyes. I want to talk to him, but I don't think I can…”
Ramona hums, taking in Luca’s worries.
“ Hm…so. Let's say you're able to teach him to the top and talk things out. And let's say he still doesn't listen and continues to act like he is now. What would you do?”
Luca blinks again, taken aback by the question. His crown deepens, pondering on his answer.
“ I….I want to still try. To reach out to him. He- he shouldn't be alone, you know? And maybe then I'll be able to just…reach him again”
Ramona sighs. She doesn't like playing the bad guy. But it's a role she's way too good at.
“ Luca,” she starts, her voice stern, “ You're not going to like what I'm about to say, but know I'm saying this for your own well-being, okay?”
Luca straightens up, “ Okay…”. Ramona takes a breath.
“ If the hypothetically that I just described comes true, you aren't going to keep trying to reach Kieran. You’re going to leave him to handle his emotions on his own.”
Luca's eyes widen, and a scowl appears on his face, his anger in his eyes.
“ What?! How can you even say that-”
“ Luca,” Ramona starts again, her voice even, “ I know that sounds bad. I know the last thing you want to do is to leave Kieran hanging. But I need you to know that you aren't responsible for him. If Kieran isn't willing to change, then you’ll just let him and move on. Let him figure it out for himself,”
Luca shakes his head defiantly, “ B-but- Kitakami-”
“ That's a conversation you both need to have, yes. But that can only happen if you both are willing to listen,” she looks Luca dead in the eye, “ Do you think he’s willing to listen, Luca?”
Luca matches her stare, and the two stare at each other for a bit….before Luca deflates, casting his eyes down
“....No…” he sniffs, “ ….I don't want that to happen…”
“ I know. Let's hope that it doesn't. But in the case that it does….”
“ Yeah,” Luca sighs, wiping his eyes, “ Yeah, okay…..I'll still try, though. I have to,”
Ramona chuckles.
“ I wouldn't expect anything less, Luca,”
~~~~
Carmine is a bitch. Ramona has said this to her face multiple times now, which often results in the two arguing their heads off. So how and why did she end up being the girl's study partner, Ramona has no clue.
Ramona finds herself asking that same question as she watches Carmine pace back and forth in the empty classroom. They were supposed to be working on a paper together, but Carmine decided to use Ramona as her vent buddy. Unwillingly, Ramona must stress
“ I just don't know what to do!” Carmine says for the 5th time, “ He’s just so….. different! I can’t even speak to him anymore! And now he’s causing problems for the BB league and the entire school and -”
“ Carmine, you have been telling me the exact same thing for the past 5 minutes, are you going to help me with this research paper or not?”
Carmine glares down at Ramona, crossing her arms.
“ Hey! I've already done most of the work before you even came here! And can't you see I'm having a moment here?! Show some sympathy!!”
Ramona can feel herself popping a vein already.
“ Maybe, I would have some sympathy if you just apologized to your brother and stopped being a bitch all the time!”
Carmine's face turned red, her hands shaking with anger.
“Excuse me?! Why you-”
“ Actually you know what? I’m not finished, so shut up,” Ramona huffs, crossing her arms, “You out here worrying about your little brother, hating how he’s acting, and yet you won't even acknowledge the reason why!”
“ Of course, I know why!” Carmine says, rolling her eyes, “ Luca-”
“ Wrong!” Ramona cuts her off, sitting herself up to match Carmine’s gaze, “ Carmine, he's like this because of you, ”
“ Wha- me?! What did I do?!”
“ You continuously bullied him. You never allowed him to do things on his own. You-” she aggressively points at Carmine, “ Was the one that even suggested Luca lie to him! There’s plenty of ways to prevent Kieran from chasing after Ogerpon, and you chose the one that’ll hurt the most.” She sighs, moving her hand to rub her temples.
“ Hell, he’s even starting to act like you! And you don't think this is your fault?!”
Carmine glares at Ramona, in which she glares back with equal bitterness. It only takes a minute for Carmine's glare to waver.
“....I just…I just wanted to protect him,”
Ramona raises a brow.
“That's not an excuse, but go on.”
Carmine nervously grips the ends of her hair, looking off the side, worry in her eyes, “ W-when we were young, it was always up to me to look after Kiki and me,”
Suddenly the animosity that Ramona has for Carmine lessens. That….that sounds too familiar.
“ ….Okay…” Ramona says slowly, opting for Carmine to continue.
“ And I took that role seriously! Though…” she looks down, “ I don't think I was good at it. Or qualified too…”
‘ Yeah no kidding,’ Ramona snips in her mind, but she doesn't say it out loud. Carmine is being vulnerable here. Why with her, she has no clue, but she isn't going to disrespect it.
“ But Kiki- Kieran. He was…” Carmine takes a deep breath, “ He was always so weak-willed. So easy to boss around. I thought that would make things easier for us, you know? If he just listens to what I say, the risk of him getting himself hurt lessens 100%,”
Ramona can’t help but frown, her eyes furrowing slightly.
“ Carmine-”
“ I know-”
“ You have to let him live, Carmine,”
“ I know! I know I…I didn't know what else to do. And I thought it was fine until…” she sighs, dropping her hands to her sides, “ ….I’m an awful sister, huh?”
“ Kinda yeah”
Carmine sputters, looking at Ramona with wide eyes, “ You just- why are you so blunt?!”
“ You said it. I’m simply agreeing,” Ramona shrugs and Carmine groans.
“ You’re unbelievable,” she ‘tchs’, crossing her arms and looking off to the side, “....You know I never admitted that out loud before. Heck, I don't think I ever admitted that to myself. I….I think I get it now.” She turns back to Ramona, her eyes determined.
“ I have to apologize to Kieran. And just talk to him about…. everything. It's something long overdue, yeah?”
“Heh,” Ramona smirks, “ Look at you. I didn't even have to say it,”
Carmine rolls her eyes, as she finally walks towards Ramona to sit down next to her.
“ Ugh, yeah, because if you said it, it would have been annoying!” she huffs as she takes her seat, though her expression is much softer, “ ….thanks. For uh. Listening. And not taking any bullshit,”
“ Someone has to,” Ramona snorts, feeling herself smile a little, “ Gotta keep that ego in check, right?”
Carmine merely tchs, and Ramona giggles.
“ ….If you don't follow through on your word to talk to Kieran, and apologize to him, I will kick your ass,”
“ Wh- kick my ass?! What makes you think you can do that?!”
Ramona’s grin widens, cracking her knuckles.
“ Wanna find out-”
“ Aaaaaaaaaw,” Drayton’s voice breaks between the banter. The two look to the side to see Drayton leaning on the door frame, smirking lazily at the two.
“ Never in my life would I have thought to see you two get along! It's a beautiful sight, I tell ya!”
Ramona looks at Carmine. Carmine looks at Ramona. They both glared daggers at Drayton.
“ SHUT UP YOU TOOTHPASTE BOZO!”
“ GET THE FUCK OUT!”
~~~
Watching from the sidelines as Kieran be an ass is tough. Being in the same room with other people as Kieran is an ass is tough. But by far the hardest thing is being in the same elevator with Kieran. Alone. No one to share the awkwardness, no one for her to give emotional support to, nothing. Just her and Kieran. Alone. In an elevator.
…. Can't this thing go any faster???
She wonders if she should talk to him. She glances at him quickly, then back to the closed elevator door.
….fuck it.
“ Look,” she starts, not going to bother with any sweet talk, “ I won't sugarcoat it. You're being an asshole. Both to others and yourself. I get that you want to be strong, but you’re not only pushing others away but also pushing yourself to an unhealthy degree,”
She pauses, looking at Kieran to see any sort of reaction. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He doesn't even look at her, simply staring at the elevator door. It's…. honestly scary. How blank his expression is. Ramona feels herself frown more.
“ Whatever narrative that you think is being placed, it doesn't have to be that way. We’re all worried for you. You can talk to us. Luca-”
“ I don't need to hear unwanted advice from someone weak,”
Ramona's eyes widen just as the elevator door rings, opening to the terrarium. Kieran walks out, not even giving Ramona another glance, and she just glares into his back.
This. Fucking. Kid.
“ Luca will beat you,” she says without thinking, voice dripped with venom. That causes Kieran to stop. Flinch even. Good.
“ He’ll beat you to the ground,” she grits out. Kieran turns around as the elevator door closes. The last thing Ramona sees is Kieran's yellow eye glaring back at her.
The elevator closes, and she's by her lonesome. The anger is gone as quickly as it rises, and Ramona couldn't help but grimace at the interaction she just had.
“ Shit…. shouldn't have said that,” she sighs, rubbing her temples, “ I probably made the situation worse now….fuck. Luca doesn't need that,”.
She presses a button to go back up to the top floor. She was supposed to meet Luca at the terrarium, but she's not gonna risk running into Kieran again. Not after that.
… She also might need some time to calm down a bit more. That too.
She sends Luca a quick text, saying she'll be late. Yet another sign escaped her lips. Why is school so dramatic? Jeez.
~~~
Watching Luca and Kieran hug after yet another shit show in Area Zero was nice. Very nice, actually, Ramona is glad that their weird drama is over now. She smiles as they run up to her and Carmine, the two smiling widely. Kieran catches her eye, and he bashfully smiles at her. Ramona smirks. They can talk later. But first-
“ Alright, let's hurry up and get inside. I need a fucking nap,”
“ Ugh, tell me about it,” Carmine groans in agreement.
“ I dunno, I feel kinda energized now…” Luca mumbles and Ramona stares into his soul.
“ Luca.”
Luca raises his arms up, snickering.
“ Kidding! I’m kidding,” he quickly rebuttals, and Kieran giggles a bit at their antics.
“ Hmph,” she huffs, rolling her eyes. But a small smile reaches her face.
Things worked out for the better. It was long and convoluted, but whatever. That's just life for ya. It's just a matter of popping that bubble.

Drayton: ( watching Luca be super affectionate with Kieran) Hmmmmm.... didn't our little champ and ex - champ say they were just staying friends? They've been like this for days now.
R.B: Luca and Kieran. They have names. And yes, they're just friends for now. Luca is just like that with everyone.
Drayton: .....Eh? ( Looks at Luca then back at R.B, pointing at himself) He isn't like that with me? Why?
R.B: ( puts down whatever she was working on and looks Drayton right on the eye) ......
Drayton: ......( turns away sheepishly) Yeah, okay, that's fair.
R.B: ( goes back to working) Glad we have come to an understanding.

Okay I had this idea for a while now and I have no clue if it would be canon at all but. I gotta share it, I gotta -
So some context: I saw a series of post where it was like. A what if the Paldea + kitakami gang grew apart bc the mc left or something. I should be very clear this isn't any shade to those posts at all, cause I actually think it's super interesting to explore! But my mind went " okay what if I did the opposite".
So in my head I was like " What if Luca for some reason went off the grid and lost contact with his friends. But his friends still remained friends despite of it". Cause ya know, I thought it showed that their friendship wasn't reliant on luca being there. Don't get me wrong, it was tough: Luca was what brought them all together and helped them so much. Him not being there was hard- they were moments where they all thought their friendship was over. But it didn't! Their friendship prevailed! And it lasted all the way up till adulthood. This does include Kiki and Carmine! They all keep in touch with each other and their lives. But Luca? Pretty much no contact.
Which gets me into the shit that fucks me over with this idea/au- Luca himself. Luca is. Not happy. Not in the slightest. He left to pursue a dream that probably wasn't even his, and he continued to drift along in an uncomfortable sea of dissatisfaction. After a while it lead to him getting increasingly anxious: his friends all could be living happy fulfilling lives while he's stuck in this sea of nothing. She should be happy. She should be fulfilled, but they're not and it haunts them. He's too afraid to call his friends. After it's been so long and when she essentially ghosted them for literal years, they probably wanted nothing to do with them, right? Life moves on, and so should he. What really fucks me over with this idea/au is that Luca is just so. Hollow. He isn't as bright as he used to be. That charming, infectious smile, the shining light in his eyes- they're gone. He's more nervous than anything, putting on a soft fake smile that gets him through the day. It's like he's an entirely different person now.
R.B finds him. Naturally. How and why doesn't matter, what matters is that she finds him and drags his ass back to Paldea so they can confront his friends. Luca is not excited by this. He misses them dearly yes, but he isn't ready to see them ( then when will he?), but R.B is having none of it. So they go home and the reactions....vary.
R.b was the one that found him, and the one that dragged him back home. But she was never angry. Stern yes, but not angry. In fact she was more than willing to help Luca. She kinda acts as a mediator for the group.
Nemona is the one that hugs him first, acting as if he never left, treating him like she always had. She literally tackled him into a hug when seeing him again. I do think there's a tiny bit of leftover resentment and sadness from Luca leaving- one of the first people who finally Got her left - she tries to keep it positive! Really! But it had hurt back then and it still hurts now- she's choosing to focus on the fact that her bestest rival is back. Hopefully for good.
Penny is bitter, and I think she deserves to be. She had a deep fear of team star leaving her, and back then she just accepted it. But now that she's older? Now with Luca, who changed her life for the better? Who just up and left? Yeah she's bitter. She wouldn't have even been there if it weren't for R.B and Nemona. Though deep down she kinda blames herself. She can hack into the league easy peasy, but finding a friend in the Internet was something she never considered. She wonders if things would be different if she brute forced her way to Luca before the ghosting got bad. But overall? She's bitter. And again, I think it's deserved.
Arven feels betrayed. He has been for a long time. He was already abandoned once by his biological parents, twice by the ai versions of said parents, and the one person who he cares for so much just. Left. So was it all for nothing? Was everything they did together for nothing? Cause that's what it feels like. Early on the feeling was particularly bad, but with the help of everyone around him( and R.B n him pretty much being each other's rock ) by the time Luca comes back he isn't angry. He's simply distant....but also holding out some hope. He calls Luca "bud" now, which is so weird.
Kieran and Luca probably had to break up when Luca decided to leave in the first place - and even if they didn't then, they definitely did when Luca started ghosting. So when Luca came back I imagined Kieran wanting to be petty. So petty. "Show him what he missed" petty. But then he actually saw Luca and it was nothing Kieran had imagined. He was confused. Why wasn't Luca smiling like he used to. Why was the light in his eyes gone? Seeing Luca again pretty much put a halt on Kieran's planned bravado, and just left him utterly confused. He doesn't know how to act around him
Carmine is very good at putting on an angry front. Mainly bc she is pissed on the behalf of her brother who had gotten his heart broken. But as always, underneath that raging flame is someone genuinely worried. R.B still had to hold her back from pouncing Luca though.
And that's everything! Keep in mind this idea/au is all of them as adults, if I didn't make that clear already lol. this isn't canon exactly but I do love me some angst. Also please no I see Luca as a masc pinkie pie lmao.

R.B and Miraidon is very interesting bc what I have in mind is that Miraidon is genuinely an ass. It thinks it's better the other pokemon, even when it lost to Luca and Buddy ( Koraidon). And before R.B catches the thing it was very violent and really bruised up R.B and her team. But they also got bruised in that fight, so in a way they somewhat respect her for it. Still, its own ego makes it pushes other members of the team away, which then leads to the budding of heads ( Mercy in particular).
It takes a while for Miraidon to even listen to R.B ( she isn't someone who is interested as interested in pokemon battles like Luca or Nemona, so why bother),but I don't think R.B gives up on it. I think she gathers all her patience on showing it that it doesn't need to be alone on its thrown. And more importantly, it doesn't need to be an asshole all the time ( maybe this is why she's particularly peeved with Kieran. She spent most of her patience with Miraidon lol).
All of this is to say that I think Miraidon and R.B is an interesting dynamic. I'm also realizing that her ( possibly) getting Pecharunt means that she tends to gravitate towards The Bullies and ultimately trying to show them there's a different, better, path. Kinda like how going to Naranja Uva academy showed her that she isn't the thing that people saw her as. I dunno. I think it's sweet. It also helps that both pokemon are purple lol.

R.B: Hey, Lu, do you think you'll grow out your hair when you get older?
Luca: Hm? I mean my dreads are decently long now, so I don't see any reason to grow them out more....
R.B: I dunnooo.....you seem like long ass hair type of guy.
Luca: ( snorts) And steal Arven's thunder? Yeah right.
R.B: Oh yeah? How about we bet on it?
Luca: Wow Ramona, I never took you as a gambler- but you're on! It won't happen anyway.
( years later )
Luca, who has grown out his hair a significant amount, looking in the mirror: .......
Kieran: Luca? Everything okay?
Luca: ( head in hands) I owe R.B so much money....
Kieran: Huh?!

Believe it or not, R.B was never a battler, even before going to Naranja-Uva. She never had a pokemon before, let alone battled anyone. The most fighting she did was with her fists.
Now in Naranja-Uva academy, I always imagined her not caring for the battling scene. I think the only real reason she even got into battling was bc of the Team Starfall stuff ( at first she was fine with just letting Luca handle it buuuuuut after getting to know him more, she decided to pull her weight) and facing the Titans. Even so, she wouldn't call herself a battler ( even though she is very strong). So enter Blueberry academy in which battling is the main focus. She's there because Jacq thought it would be good for R.B to study under Brair about the terrastilazation phenomenon, given her interest. R.B is there to mostly study, but again, bc she's in a very competitive school.
I'm saying all of this bc I was looking at her pokemon and was just thinking " does she really need all of these pokemon when she isn't actively interested in battling?" Like for Luca I can understand him wanting to make a whole new doubles team for BB academy. But would Ramona do that? I'm not entirely sure tbh.

I for the life of me could not remember like. Any of the heights of the sv cast so fuck it we ball-
Main game + Teal Mask
Indigo Disk + Epilogue
Might change some heights ngl. Though Penny n Kieran forming the Short Kid squad ( Luca got kicked out lol). I don't remember if Carmine is taller than Nemona or not, so for now they're the same height ( I don't remember if Nemona is 5'8 or 5'9. Either way she's Tall)

R.B: ( slams into Arven's room, marches towards him and gives him a hug): Des putains de camarades de classe stupides qui m’énervent toujours quand je veux juste qu’on me laisse tranquille, putain de STUPIDE.
Arven: ......rough day?
R.B: Oui
Arven: Mm.
R.B: .....( Moves back a bit) Arven.
Arven: Yeah?
R.B: You have no idea what I just said.
Arven: ......yeah.
R.B: ( pinches Arven's cheeks) LEARN KALOSIAN!
Tldr of R.B's rant: classmates are fucking annoying they won't leave me alone.

So! The main story of XY is fine,and all I have to do is Emma's plotline. So let's do a poll to see what's do next!
I will say, both Violet and Ultra Moon I am much further in than PLA, and well. I said post game last time I did the poll but what I meant was IOA and Crown Tundra for Carol. My bad!
I think this time around, regardless of who wins, I'll dabble in the other games of this poll, cause I found myself kinda wishing to play other games when doing the y nuzlocke. Not bc I wasn't having fun!!! I had lots of fun, but it's hard focusing on one game, you know? But yeah, vote away!

Since Battle Scientist Carmine is a hot topic today:
R.B ends up being a scientist herself, studying the crystals of area zero and their properties( as well as other things). So naturally, she ends up working with Carmine a lot hgbgjnnmbcc. They're friends by this point, but they can be so bitchy with each other lmao. It's all in good faith, but the poor workers that have to sit through their back and forth-
