True Colors
Mustard has you and Avery to work together for a trial. You guys end up seeing new sides of each other.
Hope someone reads this and enjoys💖
Tumblr media
You came to the Isle of Armor for reasons that you kept personal to you. Well, actually, your brother forced you to come here thinking it would help improve your confidence.
He trained with Mustard, so he figured the older man could help you as well.
Your partner pokémon was Sylveon, who's been with you since forever. He was your very first pokémon, and was the closest thing you had to a friend. So, when you arrived at the Isle, you expected to only hang out with Sylveon.
You never expected to make so many friends.
However, as you bonded with your fellow trainers, you failed to make friends with a star student of the class. Avery seemed very determined to stay belligerent with you, keeping his distance and making snarky remarks whenever possible. People described him as a bit of a bully, and you could see why. He definitely used those physic powers to his advantage.
Still, whenever you were confronted by him, you acted with kindness. It’s just who you were, and it seemed to baffle him every time. 
Avery just didn’t understand you.
One day, Mustard decided to pair people up for another trial. You were paired up with Avery, being told by Mustard that you were probably the only one of his students who could put up with him. Still, the older man added that you were also probably the only one who could cause Avery to break down his walls a bit.
You were still pondering what he was talking about.
The challenge was to catch a rare and strong pokémon. Obviously, Mustard had something in mind already, and your job was to figure out what that was. Other teams have already ventured out into the wetlands as you waited for Avery with Sylveon on your shoulder.
“Seriously, what is he doing?” You asked your partner, who merely squeaked in response.
Eventually, Avery did show up, but he was dressed differently from his usual taste. He was wearing the dojo’s signature uniform, top hat gone, and his beautiful blonde locks were tied up in a high ponytail. It was clear to see that he has been working out. His gorgeous blue eyes were still hidden behind his frames, a necessity for him. The new outfit on him almost made Avery look approachable.
Handsome.
You shook your head with a blush at those words, Sylveon swatting you slightly with his ribbons. Without so much as a hello, Avery walked past you and used his physic powers to pick up his pack of supplies.
“What are you gawking at? We need to move.” Avery’s frustrated tone caught you out of your daze as he flung the pack over his shoulder. You quickly snatched up your own before following him into the wetlands.
You’ve been walking for what felt like hours with the hot sun beating down on you. Avery took the lead, walking ahead of you at a pace that you struggled to keep up with. The pack started to feel like a bundle of iron weights on your back, the sun making it ten times worse. Eventually, you began to slow down.
Normally, you’d have your Lucario come out and help you, but she didn’t like Avery much, so that was a no go.
The sun had practically melted your mind, so you almost didn’t notice when your pack was suddenly removed from your back. Perking up, you noticed Avery keeping pace with you as he lugged your bag of things onto his other shoulder. You felt flattered for some reason. Even though there was sweat dripping down his face from his own baggage, he decided to take yours as well.
“Thank you...” You said quietly, and Avery seemed taken aback from the gratitude. He widened his eyes only slightly, getting a bit flustered, before huffing and looking away with a frown.
You guessed the redness on his cheeks was from the sun.
“I can’t have you slowing us down.” He mumbled, but you still felt grateful despite the snarky comment. Whether it was from the extra weight or something else entirely, Avery stuck by your side now.
Soon, rain began to fall.
Now you and Avery were huddled together under a small tree to keep dry. The two of you were practically shoulder to shoulder, with him being taller than you. He also looked less than thrilled about the situation.
“How are we supposed to complete the trial in this? My foresight didn’t predict this.” He muttered.
“I find the rain kind of relaxing...” You said, taking in a deep breath of the moistened earth. Avery scoffed slightly.
“You would think that.” He retorted to you, and all you could do was smile. You had nothing to refute that with. Avery soon crossed his arms and stared off into the foggy forest. 
“Why did you even come here?” Avery soon asked you, his voice a tone of irritation rather than curiosity. But you were just glad he was willing to make conversation.
“Well...my brother forced me.” You said with a nervous chuckle.
“Hmm...I see.” You realized that was Avery’s prompt in asking you to continue. He was definitely smarter than some people gave him credit for, if he was able to determine that there was more to your story. That, or he really didn’t care.
But you just gripped your pants in a nervous manner, which he took notice of immediately.
“My brother forced me to come here because he believed it was best for me. After my ex-boyfriend used me...than cheated on me...I had a rather low self-esteem. Not only that, but I was being picked on because of said actions. I felt so stupid...my brother could tell I needed a confidence booster, and he felt this was a safe option for me...” You explained, and you dared to glance at Avery.
He looked so horrified.
“I’m...I’m sorry...I had no idea. About the way I treated you...I’m sorry...no one deserves that...I should’ve acted more like a gentleman...” Avery stumbled over his words, clearly not used to apologizing. But you just smiled and waved him off.
“No worries. It’s all in the past and I’m doing much better now. Plus, I would much rather get picked on by you than those other people any day.” You told him, and Avery didn’t really know how to respond to that.
But you saw him get flustered slightly.
“So...why did you come here?” You wanted to change the subject, and you were ready for Avery to deny that knowledge to you. But instead, he just took a deep breath.
“I’m here to get stronger...and prove myself to my family. You see, I come from a long line of physics that run the gym here in Galar. Thus, I was destined to lead the gym before I was even born...but...my powers are only adequate.” As Avery said this, he used his talents to stop some of the raindrops. They glimmered slightly in their physic state before Avery let them plop onto the ground, watching them with disappointment.
“I think your powers are extraordinary!” You praised him, and he reacted the same as earlier when he held your things for you. He looked surprised before looking away with a fluster.
“Extraordinary to you...but an embarrassment to my extraordinary family...” He mumbled, and you took a risk. You placed a hand on his shoulder, making him tense up slightly.
“If that’s what they think...then you deserve better.” You told him with a smile. It took Avery a while, but he eventually moved his hand to rest over yours, smiling back.
“So do you...” He said in reference to your ex. His actions caused you to blush as this was a side of him you’ve never seen before. However, eventually the rain let up slightly, breaking up the moment and allowing you guys to go searching again.
But then night soon fell.
You and Avery made camp out in the forest, allowing your pokémon out of their balls to roam around a bit before getting into your tents. You expected dinner to be full of tension and perhaps some bitterness from Avery. However, he acted like a total gentleman, helping you whenever possible.
Who was this man? This wasn’t Avery.
You were beginning to realize that you had a crush on this man, despite the dislike he held with you. As you guys went to your respective tents for the night, you didn’t know how you were going to fall asleep with this knowledge on your mind. But you soon did, with Sylveon snoozing beside you.
Then came the thunderstorm.
Apparently, that break in the rain was the calm before the storm. You awoke abruptly, fear squeezing in your chest as a struck of thunder came. Sylveon was still sleeping, but you couldn’t help but feel afraid. You didn’t know why, but you always had a slight fear of thunderstorms. Normally, you’d release your other pokémon to help you calm down, but you couldn’t do that in a tent.
You don’t know what compelled you to, but you quickly snatched up Sylveon and your things before going over to Avery’s tent. As expected, he was in a daze when you suddenly barged into his personal space.
“Y/N? Why are you in...my tent?” Upon realizing that, he blushed profusely. 
“I...I’m afraid of the storm...can I stay with you?” You hated that you even had to ask him. This should be something that you could handle on your own. However, you almost didn’t hear his answer. You were distracted by how adorable he looked sleepy without his glasses.
“You’re afraid of thunderstorms?” He asked you in surprise. After nodding, you expected mockery. However, he just shuffled over a bit to make room for you.
“It’s okay to be scared, I understand...I’m certainly in pyshock though...” He grinned a bit when you giggled at his pun. However, you thanked him quickly before allowing Sylveon to curl up against you as you laid down. You could hear Avery shuffle as well, and you tried to focus on sleep instead of the handsome man who laid less than a foot away from you.
Soon, a beautiful morning came with the sun shining down on the rain-covered plants.
You woke up first, seeing Sylveon curled away from you. Turning over, you almost laughed when you saw Avery. Everything about what you witnessed was an opposite to how he portrayed himself. His hair was a mess (still in a ponytail), and an arm was over his eyes as he snored cutely.
He looked just like a boy.
However, your staring must have woken him, because you soon made eye contact with his blue irises. Avery nearly shot up when he realized that you were still in here.
“Umm...good morning?” His usual cocky nature was replaced by a timid one as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“Good morning. Thank you again for letting me stay. It was a big help.” You informed him with a bright smile, making him look even more flustered.
“Don’t mention it...” He mumbled, looking away again. Eventually, you slipped out as he placed his glasses on his face physic style. With a new day, you guys decided to spend all the time looking for that strong pokémon. However, it was clear that Avery had changed as he was much more kind and helpful with you. Not to mention how nervous he seemed.
Perhaps you changed as well.
Soon evening came, and you guys have found nothing. The two of you were disappointed, but no one blamed it on the other. Eventually, you guys were making your way back to the dojo as the setting sun cast a golden glow over the land.
“Well...we didn’t find any strong-looking pokémon, but I still think I found something worth treasuring...” Avery’s voice startled you, mostly because you expected him to be too downtrodden to talk. But before you could ask what he meant, you felt Avery’s hand brush against your own. You thought it was an accident, until he did it again.
And again.
Then you did it.
Finally, he found the courage to grab your hand in his and didn’t let go.
Blushing, you looked up to see he was looking away from you again. But this time, he had a faint smile on his lips. The way he was treating you held the answer to your earlier unsaid question. 
You. You were worth treasuring.
As you guys walked back, still hand-in-hand, you came to a realization as well. Avery was not the stuck-up guy that your fellow trainers told you he was. He just had such high walls put up around him for protection purposes as he always thought he had to prove himself. 
Guess you were the one he finally felt comfortable enough to show his true colors to.
Upon walking inside, you guys noticed the other pairs were equally downtrodden, but they all had pokémon with them. However, Mustard just look disappointed until he spotted you two.
“Y/N! Avery! What did you bring?” He asked excitedly. However, you just looked down.
“Nothing...we found no pokémon fitting your description.” You told him, and he beamed.
“Exactly! You passed the trial!” He exclaimed, causing everyone to look baffled.
“H-Huh?!” Avery was just beyond confused as were you. Mustard then explained how you both obediently followed his words, trying your best to follow the description to a tee instead of just scrapping by.
“Not only that...but I see you both have found something far more important than some imaginary pokémon...” Mustard whispered to you both with a smirk, glancing down at your intertwined fingers.
You and Avery blushed but didn’t let go of each other’s hands as you flashed shy smiles at each other.
“Honey! Put some soup on for our winners! They’ve earned it!” He said while giving you both a wink. You and Avery continued to look overwhelmed by his words, but eventually the physic just confidently brought you into the kitchen with him.
There was the Avery you knew.
You understood that you both had a lot to explore with each other, but you knew that Avery was worth the time. It took an ex, your brother, Mustard, and a storm to prove that.
Screw the people in your guys' lives that made it hell. Now the two of you had each other, and you were glad you finally got to see the real Avery.
Don't worry, he'll take you on a real date soon.

Isle Connections Ch2 Arriving At The Dojo
Tumblr media
You were jostled awake by the loud familiar cawing of a corviknight and the rocking of the taxi throwing your body to the left as the taxi descended through the air.  Obviously about to land soon. You've experienced this feeling before many times. You groaned and reached a hand up to rub your face as Silver yawned loudly from his spot lazily slumped over on the seat next to you.
"Good mornin'!" Gloria happily chirped across from you. She was already awake and seemed to be chewing on one of those bland trail mix bars for breakfast. "I was gonna wake ye up but I guess the taxi already did it."
You groaned. "Don't remind me. What time is it?"
"Jus' turned eight thirty. We're 'bout ta land at the Armor station, then it's just a quick trip ta the dojo."
"Dojo?"
She nodded. "Mr. Mustard runs a dojo on the island with his family. Lee said that's where we'll need ta go from the station."
Ah. That made more sense. You supposed it'd be a good start to introduce yourself to the people running the island but still...all of this seemed very familiar to you. Huh. Oh well. You didn't question your deja vu feelings right now and just opted for grabbing your bag as the taxi jostled to a rough stop nearly sending you flying across the taxi cab and ramming into Gloria. You swore you were never going to get used to that. At least you were on solid ground now. Gloria was the first one bursting out of the taxi with you following behind with Silver following lazily at your feet. Next to you was a station alright. Looked so much like the train station back in Postwick. You thanked the cab driver before following after Gloria into the station. Inside she excitedly looked at you with a bright smile.
"I can't wait ta start explorin' this place!"
"Well we should check into the dojo first and let everyone know we arrived." You both didn't see the man rushing towards you both until he knocked into your shoulder making you bump into Gloria. "What the heck? Hey!" You both snapped around to the nervous man. "You ok there buddy?"
"S-Sorry! I'm just trying not to get in trouble," he apologized.
"Huh?"
"I-Im supposed to join the dojo on this island today, but  there's a strange person standing outside the station, and I'm a bit scared to head out." 
You and Gloria exchanged looks. All of a sudden the man looked behind you both before gaining a fearful expression and turning to dash out of the station as a pink haired woman walked in behind you both.
"Aha! There you are!" You both jumped and whirled behind you both coming face to face with a slightly annoyed pink haired woman who was looking past you both at the nervous looking man. "Right on time too! You're pretty punctual for a guy." The man took one look at the cute cotton candy haired woman and bolted out of the back of the station where you both entered.  "HEY WAIT!! I'M SUPPOSED TO GUIDE YOU YOUR JERK!!" Her cheeks puffed out and you both just...stared at her in her strange attire. She must've felt eyes on her because her head turned to stare at you both before blinking. "Hmm...You look familiar. Hey. Have we met before or something? Oh I guess it doesn't matter." She waved her hand. 
"Uh..." You looked at Gloria who just shrugged in confusion. "I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"Oh how silly of me." She smiled sweetly but there was an underlying venom to it that had you raising a brow. "I'm Kara! I've been at the dojo for a while so they sent me to help out the newbie. Hmph. But he ran away before I could talk to him. How rude!"
"Oh. Well I'm Y/n and this is Gloria." You gestured to Gloria. "She's here to join the dojo too."
"Oh!" That venomous sweet smile smiled wider. "Then I guess I can show you to the dojo instead! How about we have a quick battle? Just so we can see who's better y'know?"
"That sounds great!," Gloria agreed, "But I think I wanna call my mum first n' let 'er know that we arrived."
Kara pouted a little bit nodded. "Oh alright. I'll be waiting outside so come on out when you're ready."
You both watched as she turned and walked out before looking at each other again. "Well....This first meeting sure is something else."
Gloria shrugged and held up her phone. "At least we got a guide there. I'd better go call Mum n' let 'er know we arrived."
"Good idea. She'll probably be happy to hear from you."
Gloria smiled before turning and walking just a little ways from you to make her call. In the meantime you went to take a seat in one of the chairs by the door. This shouldn't take too long. Gloria was usually pretty quick with these things. You had just sat down with Silver plopping at your feet when the door opened again and in walked a man. A tall blonde man with long hair flowing down his back as he walked in and just stopped and looked around. You gawked at the sight of what had to be the biggest top hat but you'd ever seen and at least six pokeballs were floating around it as if bobbing in water. Thick glasses covered his eyes as he turned his head looking at the station Master, then Gloria who had her back to you both on the phone, and then to you staring back at you. Before he gave a small him.
"Hm... You're the traveler I'm supposed to guide. Am I right? Exactly when we agreed to meet too. Quite the commendable punctuality."
You blinked. "....What?"
"Hm. I've got the strangest feeling we've met before but I can't recall," he mused reaching a hand up to rub his chin curiously, "And here I thought Amnesia was slowpoke's move."
"I'm sorry...Who are you again?" 
"Oh. How rude of me." He then smiled and reached a hand up to lightly tip his hat at you. "My name is Avery. I'm a senior member of that dojo you're about to join. You're here to join the Master's dojo are you not? I also train there." He blinked as you shook your head.
"You have me mixed up with someone else. My friend's the one who's joining the dojo, not me," you explained holding up a hand. He must've mistaken you for Gloria. "I'm just here to visit the island."
He again blinked before looking you over and then sighing. "Oh the indignity. Apologies for the mistake on my part. I was only informed that I would be escorting a young lady to the dojo today on the Master's behalf."
"It's ok. I'm sure Gloria would appreciate it."
"I would appreciate what?" Gloria had come back seemingly having finished her call and blinking at the new man joining them. "Oh. 'S he another dojo for?"
At this the man, Avery, gave an indignant look. "Another?!"
Gloria nodded. "Yeah. There's a Kara person waitin' for me outside. Promised ta battle me n's everything. Sorry, mate. You a dojo guy too?"
Avery sputtered pressing a hand to his chest. "Another dojo guy?! My goodness. This is a thick one. Like a poor lost wooloo. It's up to me as an elegant adult to make sure they get the message." With a huff he turned his head up making you both look at each other. "I am A very! And the strongest trainer in the dojo here. A battle would show you that."
"Sorry. I already promised that ta someone else. If you want I'll battle ye after."
You nearly snorted at the sputtering look Avery gave Gloria before you stood up. "That works for everyone. C'mon. Let's get going before the sun goes down."
Avery seemed flabbergasted as you both stepped past him and towards the door. "Good bye, Mr. Avery. It was nice to meet you." You waved at him.
"Hey! N-Now just a moment ladies!" He quickly stepped after you. "We haven't even properly met yet! Perhaps a show of strength is the best way to get to know each other."
"M'kay," Gloria agreed, "But you'll have ta wait til after I battle Klara."
Again Avery sputtered indignantly at her suggestion of waiting for after she battled Klara before grumbling,"Time to show her who the better trainer is."
You stopped as Gloria opened the door and stepped out. Avery paused at your still form before you turned looking him dead in the eyes. "Don't think I didn't hear that."
He blinked almost shocked looking at you before you just turned back around and proceeded to follow Gloria out the door but paused when you saw the outside. F/c eyes widened at the beautiful sight. The smell of sea salt and water hit you as you viewed the ocean stretching over the horizon and ended on the shoreline of a beautiful beach. You could make out a few slowpokes already crawling along the beach and to where the sand turned into grassy dirt. Grass and trees were in your view to the left as well as the start of a river leading away from the ocean and...Gloria and the pink haired woman talking to each other and pulling out pokeballs? Uh oh. 
"Hm. Is this your first visit to the Isle of Armor?" You turned back to Avery who gave you a curious look.
Despite your raised brow you nodded. "Yeah. It is actually. But it looks pretty so far. I think there's gonna be a lot of cool places to explore."
At this Avery sighed and shook his head. "She would no doubt like to run around and explore freely but first let's make sure she can handle herself." Your brow rose higher as Avery pressed a hand to his chest with a confident smile. "Naturally as a member of the Master dojo, I'll be using my psychic powers to test her strength!"
"Psychic?" You asked before glancing up at his hat and hummed. "So I guess that's how you turned gravity off on your hat. Where did you even get a top hat that big?"
Again Avery blinked before furrowing his brows...and legitimately looking like he was thinking as a battle started up not far from you. He seemed to be calculating if he should be offended by your words but decided he wasn't and smiled proudly. "I...will be perfectly honest. I have yet to meet anyone whom actually was curious enough to ask me that."
You shrugged. "Well it's not everyday I meet someone walking around with a giant magic top hat with floating pokeballs orbiting it like a planet. So I guess we can call it even."
To your surprise he actually chuckled. "That's..one way to describe it I suppose."
And you smiled at him. "I'm looking forward to seeing you take on Gloria. It should be very interesting."
He only chuckled again at you. "That is one thing we both can agree on."
It was amusing to just watch Gloria battle Klara and thereafter be defeated by said teenager which didn't take too long as they only used two pokemon each. The look on Kara's face was utter defeat and frustration but she soon smiled that sickly sweet smile again and the both of them seemed to talk a moment before Klara handed something to Gloria and run off. All the while Avery tapped his foot in wait. Gloria pocketed whatever it was before returning to you both and finally able to battle Avery.
"Well it certainly took long enough with Klara. Never the less, it's better to be fashionably late then never! Let us continue this event."
"Bring it ok! A good battle always helps calms my nerves!"
"Heh. I'll show you what true power looks like just don't overexert yourself."
The fight as you predicted didn't again last long. Although Mr. Avery sure made a show of it when he flipped his long blonde hair before taking a bow placing one hand to his chest. The pokeballs spun widely around his hat  which somehow didn't fall off his head and threw out a pokeballs which popped out an abra, then again a slowpoke as Gloria blazed through both pokemon as you predicted. The hilarious reaction that followed had you chuckling. His jaw nearly dropped to the floor wide open and the pokeballs fell from his hat a few bumping his shoulders before thudded in the grass. You wondered if his emotions were partly controlling his psychic powers whatever they were. He sputtered and looked angrily gritting his teeth.
"Good battle! I bet ye practiced a lot with that abra!," Gloria said with a smile.
Avery hissed through his teeth before casually forcing a smile and inhaling. "Ah! Um...Could you please excuse me for a moment?"
You both again looked at one another as he turned and just began picking up his pokeballs. "What's up with 'em?"
You didn't answer her. Instead focusing on Avery's mumbles and stepped closer to him.
"Improbable. No. Impossible! What kid of trick did this kid use? If a trainer of this talent arrives at the dojo then the people there very well may suffer amnesia of my existence. If only there was a way I could get rid of her but I've been tasked with escorting her to the dojo." Your brow rose behind him as he suddenly stood straight up...and turned back to Gloria again. "*Ahem* My what a good battle. You have potential. Why you made me use a whole three percent of my strength.'  He complimented making you give him a look. "But still...How should I put this? Our dojo is a respected place where even the famous Champion Leon trained. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think you're quite up to snuff." Gloria blinked. "Therefore I suggest you ignore the Master Dojo and head home as soon as you're done seeing the sights." He let go of the pokeballs now letting them float back up to his hat. "Now then farewell. I doubt I'll see you again."
Avery turned but wasn't expecting your iron grip to latch onto his shoulder and forcibly spin him back around to make him face you. Stunned Avery blinked as you grabbed his arm. "First of all, you should really learn to keep your voice down." Again he looked absolutely stunned being called out. "Secondly if we're going to be visiting the sights..." He suddenly yelped as you hooked your arm around his arm and firmly pulled him next to you. He blinked suddenly looking between you and where you held his arm. "Then our 'guide' can perfectly show us around. And the first place we want to see is the dojo." He gulped as you narrowed your eyes. "Please."
He chuckled nervously under your eyes. "I-...Well I-It really isn't anything special to see. I'm quite sure you ladies won't find it interesting at all."
"Oh but we would." He blinked as your grip let up to where you were just casually holding his arm. "It sounds so interesting. But we might get lost on the way there. Won't you be a gentleman and help us?" You smiled at him making his eyes widen. "Please."
"I-..." Avery quickly cleared his throat looking away as a tiny pink flush hit his cheeks. "Well...A gentleman shouldn't deny the pleas of a fair lady. *Ahem* I-I suppose I could escort you to the dojo b-but don't think of joining there."
"I wasn't going to join anyways remember?" You weren't but Gloria sure was he didn't seem to remember that detail as he just smiled and shifted his arm to reach out to pat where you held him.
"Yes...Very well then! Come. Allow me to escort you to the master dojo."
You smiled in triumph as he gestured for you to follow but looked over as Gloria tugged on your sleeve and whispered, "How come ya didn't give 'em the same treatment ya gave Raihan?"
"Because sometimes you can get the things you need by being nice easier. And he hasn't made any flirts towards me like Raihan did."
Gloria rolled her eyes but followed you and Avery as he showed you the way past a few trees and bushes. Past the bushes was a start of a dirt path and Avery pulled you along up the path and up a hill just a bit aways from the beach. Ahead was a bridge going right over the river and in front of that was a fairly large building. It looked like those ancient dojos you'd see in historical pictures except it was decorated with a large pokeball on the front. That must've been the dojo Avery and Klara referred to before. You all approached the bridge as Gloria looked on in awe.... before she looked down, stopped, and pointed at the ground just in front of you all.
"Oy. What the bloody heck is that?"
You both stopped to look at her then your heads turned to where she pointed. And blinked at what looked like a small mound of brown dirt sticking out of the path. After a moment it moved. A full pair of eyes and round nose popped up from the dirt and you three realized what you were staring at immediately -
"A diglett! Aw! Ain't it cute?"
Ah. It was a diglett. The small pokemon made a noise in question as Silver chirped back just as easily confused. Right. You guessed Silver hadn't seen a diglett before.
"Ah! There you are diglett!", a new voice sounded out making you all turn to the right as a tall man with a large backpack approached. He stopped right in front of the diglett. "Hahaha. You little rascal. I was worried sick about you." He then turned to you all. "Thank you for finding my diglett. I hope he didn't cause you any trouble."
"'S that diglett from Alola?"
"Oh.. I didn't expect to meet someone who knows about it. That's right. This is a diglett from the Alola Region. When I traveled Alola, I fell in love with these adorable three hairs. I caught a lot of diglett there and came back. But they ran off when I looked away for one second."
"How many did ya lose?"
"A hundred fifty one." You all gawked at him. "But now I at least have one. If you happen to find any of the others could you let me know? I'd be pretty grateful."
"That's a lotta lost digletts, but if it helps I will."
"Thanks. I appreciate it!"
The man called for his diglett to follow him and with that out of the way, you all continued over the bridge and towards the dojo. The building was much larger up close looming over you now and you felt a bit excited to see the inside. However you were surprised to see two women in front of the entrance doors looking to be talking. One was obviously Klara with her pink hair and butterfly looking bow and the other woman looked about ten years older with a green shirt and reddish hair. The two seemed to be in a deep conversation before Klara happened to look over and then stages of shock passed over her the moment she saw you three. The other woman was confused by her sudden expression before also turning to you all and blinking.
"Well..Hello, Avery," the green shifted lady spoke acknowledging the blonde man, "And who are you, Love?"
"Good mornin'! M' Gloria and this is Y/n!," Gloria Greeted pointing at you. 
Immediately a flash of realization came over the woman and she smiled. "Of course! You must be the new student that's come to join the dojo today! Avery was sent to get you! Leon told us you'd be coming."
Avery now paused. Blinked. And then also gave a horrid look same as Klara. Speaking of said woman she was quite to speak up. "Uh....Right, right, right, right!" She quickly smiled nervously and held up her hands. "Exactly, Ma'am. I swear! She must've changed her mind about joining. But here she is! I'm so glad you decided to join after all!" Both you and Gloria gave her weird looks.
"Oh everything is just coming up roses!," she woman said happily clasping her hands together with a large smile, "Now I'm quite sure they already told me about you but there was a different student Klara was supposed to bring back."
"I'm pretty sure he took the taxi we flew in on and left," you spoke up, "He seemed pretty spooked."
The lady hummed and you swore Klara was sweating enough now to make all the makeup she was wearing run. "Oh? I was told that Gloria was the one that left. Klara, you must've been mistaken."
You instantly snapped your gaze onto her. "Yes." She looked at your deep frown and narrowed eyes. "What a VERY silly mistake. I'm SURE it won't happen again." Klara gulped.
"Where are my manners. I'm Honey," the woman introduced herself, "I help keep this place running. You can consider me the lady of the house not that the Master Dojo is just any old house. Seems you already met our Klara. Bit of an odd ducklett but she's one of our own." She nodded at the still shell shocked Avery. "And of course you know Avery. Both are training hard here at the dojo so they can become gym leaders one day. I trust you three can get along along."
"Huh? Oh! Yes!," Avery sputtered suddenly forcing a smile, "It's an honor to make her acquaintance."
"Oh dear but look at the time," Honey commented looking at the sky before looking at Gloria, "Here I am making you stand around outside after you've come all this way. Come in. Come in. " She gestured for you all to follow her. "Just  don't mind the front stench of sweat."
Again you and Gloria both looked at one another as Ms. Honey turned and motioned for you to follow her. But before either of you could follow her Klara sharply turned to Gloria with the first scowl you'd seen on her that made you all pause.
"Ok. Listen you," Klara whispered to Gloria pointing at her, "If you dare tell Ms. Honey what happened at the station I'll melt you down to size. You understand?"
Gloria blinked leaning back-
"Get your mascara smeared FACE away from Gloria," You growled back at her leaning forward and getting in Kara's face with a deep scowl, "Or so help me I'll sink my hands into that cheap fake fur coat and I'll march your behind right up to that woman and tell her EXACTLY what you threatened Gloria with. I don't need pokemon to do that!"
Klara only gawked at you in nothing but shock as Gloria chuckled. "Ya just witnessed what happens whenever someone ticks off my pal! Jus' be glad ya ain't Raihan."
With a huff you leaned back up and sighed. "So.." You turned to a shocked looking Avery. "How about you show me the inside of your dojo?" He blinked looking back at you as you patted his arm still linked with yours. "After all I'd still like to see the dojo and I'm sure an experienced trainer like you knows this place like the back of your hand."
Avery...blinked again but quickly smiled proudly. "But of course. Come along now." He gestured for you both to follow him before looking back at Klara over his shoulder and smugly smiling at her.
Klara scowled at him cheeks puffed out but started following behind you all. You four followed Ms. Honey through the front doors which lead to a long hallway. So down the hall you all went as the air was filled with the sounds of... Exercising? Many voices were carried through the air as you all approached and stopped in the doorway and blinked at what all of you saw. A rather large room greeted you all. A few exercise equipment was placed here and there, a few framed pieces of art lined the walls, and smack dab in the middle of it all was a blue battle space. At least twelve- No. Fourteen people were currently in the room either using the equipment or talking but stopped and looked up when you entered. The closest to you was a small boy and an older man talking to him but both looked up as soon as Ms. Honey walked in.
"Everybody. I have an announcement to make." Ms. Honey gestured to Gloria whom suddenly looked nervous. "We've got a new student joining us today. Please welcome Gloria. I'm sure you all will have lots to teach her-" Gloria awkwardly waved at everyone. "All out students are so good and hardworking. Everyone really gives it their all around here."
"Mom!" Your heads turned. The young boy who looked no older than eight or nine with the same eyes and hair color as Ms. Honey walked up to her. "I can't find my USB drive and Dad doesn't know where it is either."
"Now here's someone not in my database of students." She smiled very fondly at the boy whom frowned. "Hello, Sweetie pie. It's not usual for you to bother greeting a newcomer. This is my only son, Hyde." Honey gestured between Hyde and you all. "Honey, this is our new student. Why don't you say hello?"
"Are you some kind of outlier?"
"Hyde, don't be rude." She sent you both an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry. He's usually friendlier. He's such a clever boy really."
"Mom. My disk drive!"
She sighed. "Did you try looking under your desk again?" Hyde blinked before he went wide eyed and you watched as he just wordlessly turned and scampered off out a different door in the room. Honey sighed again before smiling. "I'm so sorry. Hyde can be outspoken as you can see." Her head turned to stare at someone else now. "And that handsome gent in the back is my darling husband and the Master of the dojo. Why don't you come say hello dear?"
You looked at where she gestured. You blinked. And your brow rose as an older man with the LONGEST eyebrows you've ever seen smiled at all of you. Seriously. His brows grew off his face however his smile was very kind and mischievous. He wore a rather baggy pair of pants and jacket and a black hat.
"Why hello there!," hr greeted you all with a bright tone. "My name is Mustard and I'm rather good at pokemon battles you know. I'm pleased as cheese you could join us!"
Gloria blinked before giving a small smile. "Well... Cheesed ta meet ya too?"
The man chuckled at her response. "Haha. I see you've got a sense of humor too. Good. Good."
The last sentence made Honey roll her eyes. "Don't let him fool you into thinking he's just a silly old man. He's a real beast when he gets serious. Honey, this is Gloria." She again gestured to you both. "And this is Ms. Y/n. Leon dear told us they'd be coming. Remember?"
"Pleased to meet you both!," Mustard greeted cheerfully but rose a brow when turning to the blonde next to you. "And I see Avery did his job of fetching you both. We've been expecting you any day now! But now that the greetings are out of the way, this is my favorite part."
"Favorite part?"
"But of course! If you're here to train then I must first know where to start!" His smile suddenly looked more serious as he looked right at her. "I wanna see just how good you are in a pokemon battle."
You blinked as Gloria froze mouth dropping open as she gaped at Mr. Mustard. Mimicked a goldfish a few times. Before just shaking her head. "A-A battle with you?! Now?!" Her head swiveled with a nervous look at everyone around you all. "I-I-In from of everyone?!"
"Aren't you a former Champion?," You spoke up asking. Mustard according to Hop was a former Champion so if they battled Gloria would be at a pretty big disadvantage.  However Gloria's face only got more worried. 
"It's nothing too serious," Mustard assured you with a smile, "I battle every new student who comes here. It lets me see how they are in battle and where best to start them on their learning path. So what do you say?"
Gloria blinked before looking at you before you just made a shoo motion at her motioning for her to go on. Gloria inhaled deeply before slowly looking back at Mustard. "I-...Um. Ok. Sure. If ya think it'll help me."
"Great! Let's get this show started then! This is the best way to get to know new students after all!"
Mustard only gave a smile as he walked past you all towards the battle area in the middle of the room. Gloria looked more like she was being lead to her doom than a battle by the nervous look she had on her face. You could only watch being a bystander to what had to be done. Watching as both took their places on opposite sides of the arena space. Watching as Gloria shakily held up a ball...And remembering the reason why Leon recommended her here. Gloria's stage fright problem. She became incredibly nervous with lots of eyes on her and right now everyone was stopping and staring to watch. You couldn't help but wonder briefly if Gloria's stage fright was the thing that caused her to lose against Hop in the Semifinals of the Champion Cup last year instead of winning like in the game's original storyline? Would it have been different if she didn't have stage fright? Would you be back home with your mother right now? Would you be forced to live a life you didn't want to dictated by her? You'd never know. And you felt like you didn't want to know either. Besides that was the past anyways. Too late now and you couldn't turn back time. You could only watch.
Watch as Gloria got completely wrecked.
She fumbled. Stuttering out orders. Looking around instead of at her pokemon. And was overall too slow and distracted to even win. In the end it was just her defeated and standing there looking humiliated and Mustard still kindly smiling with everyone watching silently. Well silently except for a satisfied huff to your left which made you smap a scowl at Klara.
"SHUT. Your. Mouth," you growled at her.
Klara went silent quickly  and Avery only hummed watching your interactions with her with a curious brow raised. The sounds of soft clapping filled the air as Mustard approached the down Gloria with a smile.
"Not bad! Not bad at all for our first battle together! You almost defeated my meinfoo in the final round there!," he happily complimented her before stopping in front of her and humming. "After seeing you in action, I think I know exactly what we can do to help you grow here but for now I think we all deserve a little rest. It's been a long day already and it's not even lunchtime yet!"
"I...Yeah. That'd be great," Gloria mumbled.
"Do not be so hard on yourself!," Mustard spoke up making her blink, "It was only your first try! You can't expect to be perfect on your first try on anything! Everything needs time for practice and development. That's what you're here for isn't it? So don't be sad about your loss. Learn from this and work towards your goals! After all...Even Leon didn't start out on a Champion level did he?"
Gloria just.... blinked at him before humming. "I-...N-No. I don't think he nay did."
"Of course not. Practice makes perfect and perfect takes time and patience. Let this be your first lesson here." He held up a finger. "Accepting losses isn't always a bad thing. It's a part of the learning process for becoming not just a better trainer but a better person in general. Your second lesson with me is learning from your losses and applying that to make yourself better."
Gloria's eyes widened at his words but then she held a determined face and nodded. "Right! I'll keep that in mind and practice harder next time!"
He nodded in agreement. "Excellent! I think you'll be s fast learner here! Now I was planning on starting to train you as soon as you arrived but considering you've never been on the island before I'll give you a week to settle in and get used to the place. How's that sound?" Gloria blinked but nodded yes at him. "Great!" He then turned his smile towards you and Avery. "Now then you and your friend are probably tired from your trip. Avery, why don't you show them around the dojo before taking them to their rooms?"
Avery smiled proudly at Mustard before bowing his head slightly. "But of course! It'd be an honor and privilege to do so!"
Mustard nodded. "Good. Now then I bid you farewell for the day. I should really see if Hyde found his missing machine piece. Do knock if you need anything or have any questions."
"Uh...I will. Thanks."
He only smiled before he and Ms. Honey turned and left through the same door Hyde did earlier. It was a bit silent for a moment before everyone just slowly moved on to what they were doing before you had arrived. Eventually Avery cleared his throat and made all of you look at him as he smiled.
"Well then...As I have been instructed to, I will have the noble task of showing you around the beautiful Master Dojo!" His arm gestured to the room behind him. "You've already been introduced to the main training area so let's move along then. Shall we?"
You agreed but not before giving Klara one last glare as she glared back at both you and Gloria. You'd definitely be keeping an eye on both her and Avery.
"The door the Master and Ms. Honey disappeared through leads to their private home. We're not allowed in there unless it's a real emergency. In that room is the most gorgeous kitchen big enough for all of the Master's students. Breakfast is served every day at eight sharp so do try not to be tardy," Avery continued on gesturing at two different doorways attached to the main training area as he guided you towards a third just across the room. "Come! I'll show you the guest room wings where you'll be staying!"
You both followed Avery with Silver at your heels towards the door just across the room from you and threw them open. On the other side was another hallway with a single door on the right side. Avery lead you down the hall briefly pointing out the single door as the Landry room before pursuing the very end of the hall. The end of the hall split off into two more halls to the left and right. Avery stopped you both and gestured.
"This is the last part of the grand tourl, Ladies." Avery pointed down the left hallway. "That is the mens' wing. Women aren't allowed there except for Ms. Honey for cleanliness inspections." He then pointed down the right hallway. "Your rooms would be located in the womens' wings. Oh! That reminds me! I was supposed to give these to the one I was tasked with escorting here." Avery reached into a pants pocket and pulled out two small keys. Each had a tag with a number on it. "Now I understand why I was given two sets of keys. These are your room keys. Don't lose them. Your room is the number on the key. You both are in charge of your keeping your own rooms tidy. Ms. Honey does cleanliness inspections once a week."
You both watched in awe as the keys were enveloped in the same blueish aura Avery's pokeballs were covered in and both floated over to both you and Gloria. Silver chirped in curiosity as you both slowly took them. Avery only smiled proudly at your awestruck faces.
"We all take turns doing chores around here in a rotating manner," Avery explained further pointing a finger, "Just look on the rotation roster for your names and which duties you're doing that day. They're always posted around noon there."
"Thanks. You've been pretty helpful," You thanked Avery whom only smiled and tipped his hat at you.
"But of course. This is where I bid you ladies adue for the day. I have other matters to attend to."
"Yeah. We'll catch you later." Both of you watched as Avery simply just walked away from you both before you again looked at the keys in your hand. "Ok... Seriously. How does he do that?"
Gloria shrugged. "I dunno. He's a real interestin' character tho eh?"
"Yeah. So is that Klara person." Your eyes narrowed. "I think it'd be best if we kept an eye out for them just to be on the safe side."
"I hear ya. Been through this thing one too many times."
"No kidding. Come on. Let's go get settled in and then we can go look around for the rest of the day. It'll help if we get familiar with the layout of the Isle."
"Oh good! Then I can work on my armor dex challenge!"
"You accepted another dex challenge?"

avery + segmented smut alphabet ; 18+
Tumblr media
minors and ageless blogs will be blocked
requested by ; 🎲 anon (22/05/23)
character ; avery from pokémon shield
masterlist ; here
letters ; d / i / y
note ; i have rewritten this about seven times now and i’m still not completely happy with how it’s turned out — but this request has been pending for months and i am sick and tired of staring at this character’s wiki page lol
D — Dirty Secret
what is their dirty secret?
Whilst this isn’t something he’d ever mention for a multitude of reasons, Avery is actually a switch. Of course he usually slots himself into a more dominant role by taking responsibility for your pleasure and taking control of things completely whenever he’s in the mood to actually have sex — but he still has that underlying, buried desire to be the one that’s getting cared for in bed. To hand over the reins and let you dominate him: control his pleasure and the pace and the sensations, praise him, worship him, pleasure him, give him what he wants but he’s too proud to say. Having you there to comfort and assure and compliment him, to take the reins of pleasure and let him just be ‘good’ and ‘pretty’ and ‘perfect’, would be a dream for him — but, in his mind, it’s simply unattainable and unrealistic. As a gentleman it’s his duty to care for his partner, which he excels at, and the idea of handing over that duty to you (however appealing it may sound) is just not to be considered — no matter how often he considers it. So until he sorts through his issues with pride and tradition and his perceived failure to master his abilities, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever get to know this submissive side of Avery. Well, not unless you happen to accidentally figure out how to send him into sub space, which itself would require a lengthy and vulnerable conversation afterwards which he isn’t quite ready to face yet.
I — Intimacy
how romantic are they in the moment?
Romantic isn’t the right word to describe how Avery acts when it comes to getting you (or both of you, should the mood strike) off — a much more accurate descriptor is efficient and considerate. He does care about you enough to have memorised your boundaries and what you enjoy by heart, and he’s affectionate enough in his language during and after the act as he makes sure that you’re okay, but he’s not romantic enough to prolong things unnecessarily or do something over the top like cover the bed with rose petals. He’s straight to the point and endlessly efficient, using his familiarity with your body and his own to bring you to climax in a quick and enjoyable way so that he can get back to his own work as soon as possible — only ever taking the extra time to ensure your safety and comfort but nothing beyond that. In other words, he does the bare minimum to keep you safe and comfortable but he’s no Romeo in bed.
Y — Yearning
how often do they want sex?
Whilst Avery is usually willing to quickly get you off with oral or a handjob, he actually has a pretty low sex drive himself and would turn you down if you offered to do the same (politely, of course, he does still care about you). At most he might feel the need to seek you out once or maybe twice a week, usually spurned on by something else, but even then there’s always the chance that he’ll just take care of it himself rather than go and find you since he wouldn’t want to take too much time away from his training. So you’ll have to settle for sex toys and other methods of getting off if you have a higher libido than him, but at the very least he’ll do what he can to help you out (he is a gentleman after all).

wow…you’re easy to rile up—with Avery and dom reader?
Uh, might take a little bit longer to do requests now. I ate something and I didn't realize it had gluten and I feel like dying rn. Someone teach me how to not be a dumbass one of these days please?
Discord (16+) - Request Information - Event Post 
Warning: This is NSFW so if you’re under the legal age or uncomfortable with content like this, please skip over this one! This piece is for an event that’s linked above with the other information!
Avery - “Wow...you're easy to rile up.”:
You placed your hand over Avery's crotch, feeling his cock twitch in your hand. You chuckled, your mouth kissing his jawline and he whimpered under your touch, his had falling off and glasses sliding down his nose.
"Wow...you're easy to rile up." You murmured against his skin as your hands fished out his cock from his pants. Avery groaned as your warm hand wrapped around his throbbing erection and his hand slid down, lifting the end of his shirt up so he could watch you play with him.
"F-fuck your hand feels so good. Use your mouth, please." He tried commanding you but your grip on his cock got tighter and he whimpered at the sensation. He hadn't expected the rough treatment, but he wasn't going to dent that he liked it.
"I'm the one in charge. Now be a good boy and keep it down. We don't need anyone in the dojo hearing us in the changing room, right?" You asked, sliding your finger over the tip of his cock to collect the precum there.

Hello, I was just wondering if Tumblr ate my ask about a romantic relationship between Avery from Pokémon Shield and the reader who has a Shiny Gardevoir as their ace.
No pressure if the request is still there! 😅
S/O with a Shiny Gardevoir
Fandom: Pokemon
Characters: Avery
Type of Request: Headcanons
Notes: I think it did >.< but here is this one for you!!
Tumblr media
Avery
He gladly brags about you to others when you're not around. When you are then he brags about himself and what he's accomplished recently to you.
Just calls the two of you a power couple.
Of course, his psychic abilities are still better than yours. No matter what Pokemon you have as an ace.
A tad jealous that you have a shiny Pokemon considering the rarity, but also knows that you deserve your partner. And your partner deserves you. You're just a good team and he can't deny that.

Hello, hello! If it's not too much trouble, may I request some general yandere headcanons for Avery? Thank you!
*furious research sounds* I GOT IT!
CW this is yandere themed, so unhealthy thinking and relationship ahead!
-
-
-
🪬Avery🪬
- It started off as him loathing you. First you show up, best him in battle, and get his teachers praise, and everyone expected him to be fine with it!
- Then he noticed small things about along your journey.
- You’d playfully jest with him, never insulting him or snapping at him, you acted more like a playful rival than anything.
- You always offered to heal his Pokémon after defeating them, offering to camp with him and feed him and his team.
- You are just so kind to him.
- You believed in him.
- “That was a close battle! You did amazing, Avery!”
- He is desperate for more of your praise.
- Avery quickly tries to do everything and anything just to have your attention solely on him, he wants your praise, he wants you to tell him how great he is and how much you love him.
- The blonde can feel himself spiraling further down into his obsession every time you give him the smallest amount of your love.
- He can’t stand you looking at anyone else but him! You love him, don’t you? You have to! Why else would you praise him?
- You notice your rival gets almost dopey and nervous around you, but aggressive and boastful around everyone else. You thought he was just warming up to you.
- You weren’t sure why some of your friends were starting to avoid you. Your cried about it to your only friend, Avery.
- You are so grateful to have a friend like him who stays with you through thick and thin.
- And he’s so happy to have his partner all to himself.
- You started noticing a few supplies of yours going missing, it was never any healing items, but your personal items.
- A shirt would go missing, then pants, then your deodorant.
- You’re out on the road, you don’t think you’ve miss placed them at all. Yet they aren’t here.
- Avery would never!
- Except he has been.
- Taking them back to his own room and coating a pillow in your deodorant, then placing the shirt around it, just so he could feel like it was you sleeping next to him.
- He wants you, he wants you to want him, but you’re taking so long! And who’s that you’re speaking to!? It’s certainly not him.
- That just won’t do.
- Avery is the only one deserving of your love and attention! No one else comes even close!
- You’re too kind, that’s it! You’re just too polite and kind to tell them off. They are using you. They are making you feel uncomfortable.
- He can help you.
- He can keep you safe.

Isle Connections Ch2 Arriving At The Dojo
Tumblr media
You were jostled awake by the loud familiar cawing of a corviknight and the rocking of the taxi throwing your body to the left as the taxi descended through the air.  Obviously about to land soon. You've experienced this feeling before many times. You groaned and reached a hand up to rub your face as Silver yawned loudly from his spot lazily slumped over on the seat next to you.
"Good mornin'!" Gloria happily chirped across from you. She was already awake and seemed to be chewing on one of those bland trail mix bars for breakfast. "I was gonna wake ye up but I guess the taxi already did it."
You groaned. "Don't remind me. What time is it?"
"Jus' turned eight thirty. We're 'bout ta land at the Armor station, then it's just a quick trip ta the dojo."
"Dojo?"
She nodded. "Mr. Mustard runs a dojo on the island with his family. Lee said that's where we'll need ta go from the station."
Ah. That made more sense. You supposed it'd be a good start to introduce yourself to the people running the island but still...all of this seemed very familiar to you. Huh. Oh well. You didn't question your deja vu feelings right now and just opted for grabbing your bag as the taxi jostled to a rough stop nearly sending you flying across the taxi cab and ramming into Gloria. You swore you were never going to get used to that. At least you were on solid ground now. Gloria was the first one bursting out of the taxi with you following behind with Silver following lazily at your feet. Next to you was a station alright. Looked so much like the train station back in Postwick. You thanked the cab driver before following after Gloria into the station. Inside she excitedly looked at you with a bright smile.
"I can't wait ta start explorin' this place!"
"Well we should check into the dojo first and let everyone know we arrived." You both didn't see the man rushing towards you both until he knocked into your shoulder making you bump into Gloria. "What the heck? Hey!" You both snapped around to the nervous man. "You ok there buddy?"
"S-Sorry! I'm just trying not to get in trouble," he apologized.
"Huh?"
"I-Im supposed to join the dojo on this island today, but  there's a strange person standing outside the station, and I'm a bit scared to head out." 
You and Gloria exchanged looks. All of a sudden the man looked behind you both before gaining a fearful expression and turning to dash out of the station as a pink haired woman walked in behind you both.
"Aha! There you are!" You both jumped and whirled behind you both coming face to face with a slightly annoyed pink haired woman who was looking past you both at the nervous looking man. "Right on time too! You're pretty punctual for a guy." The man took one look at the cute cotton candy haired woman and bolted out of the back of the station where you both entered.  "HEY WAIT!! I'M SUPPOSED TO GUIDE YOU YOUR JERK!!" Her cheeks puffed out and you both just...stared at her in her strange attire. She must've felt eyes on her because her head turned to stare at you both before blinking. "Hmm...You look familiar. Hey. Have we met before or something? Oh I guess it doesn't matter." She waved her hand. 
"Uh..." You looked at Gloria who just shrugged in confusion. "I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"Oh how silly of me." She smiled sweetly but there was an underlying venom to it that had you raising a brow. "I'm Kara! I've been at the dojo for a while so they sent me to help out the newbie. Hmph. But he ran away before I could talk to him. How rude!"
"Oh. Well I'm Y/n and this is Gloria." You gestured to Gloria. "She's here to join the dojo too."
"Oh!" That venomous sweet smile smiled wider. "Then I guess I can show you to the dojo instead! How about we have a quick battle? Just so we can see who's better y'know?"
"That sounds great!," Gloria agreed, "But I think I wanna call my mum first n' let 'er know that we arrived."
Kara pouted a little bit nodded. "Oh alright. I'll be waiting outside so come on out when you're ready."
You both watched as she turned and walked out before looking at each other again. "Well....This first meeting sure is something else."
Gloria shrugged and held up her phone. "At least we got a guide there. I'd better go call Mum n' let 'er know we arrived."
"Good idea. She'll probably be happy to hear from you."
Gloria smiled before turning and walking just a little ways from you to make her call. In the meantime you went to take a seat in one of the chairs by the door. This shouldn't take too long. Gloria was usually pretty quick with these things. You had just sat down with Silver plopping at your feet when the door opened again and in walked a man. A tall blonde man with long hair flowing down his back as he walked in and just stopped and looked around. You gawked at the sight of what had to be the biggest top hat but you'd ever seen and at least six pokeballs were floating around it as if bobbing in water. Thick glasses covered his eyes as he turned his head looking at the station Master, then Gloria who had her back to you both on the phone, and then to you staring back at you. Before he gave a small him.
"Hm... You're the traveler I'm supposed to guide. Am I right? Exactly when we agreed to meet too. Quite the commendable punctuality."
You blinked. "....What?"
"Hm. I've got the strangest feeling we've met before but I can't recall," he mused reaching a hand up to rub his chin curiously, "And here I thought Amnesia was slowpoke's move."
"I'm sorry...Who are you again?" 
"Oh. How rude of me." He then smiled and reached a hand up to lightly tip his hat at you. "My name is Avery. I'm a senior member of that dojo you're about to join. You're here to join the Master's dojo are you not? I also train there." He blinked as you shook your head.
"You have me mixed up with someone else. My friend's the one who's joining the dojo, not me," you explained holding up a hand. He must've mistaken you for Gloria. "I'm just here to visit the island."
He again blinked before looking you over and then sighing. "Oh the indignity. Apologies for the mistake on my part. I was only informed that I would be escorting a young lady to the dojo today on the Master's behalf."
"It's ok. I'm sure Gloria would appreciate it."
"I would appreciate what?" Gloria had come back seemingly having finished her call and blinking at the new man joining them. "Oh. 'S he another dojo for?"
At this the man, Avery, gave an indignant look. "Another?!"
Gloria nodded. "Yeah. There's a Kara person waitin' for me outside. Promised ta battle me n's everything. Sorry, mate. You a dojo guy too?"
Avery sputtered pressing a hand to his chest. "Another dojo guy?! My goodness. This is a thick one. Like a poor lost wooloo. It's up to me as an elegant adult to make sure they get the message." With a huff he turned his head up making you both look at each other. "I am A very! And the strongest trainer in the dojo here. A battle would show you that."
"Sorry. I already promised that ta someone else. If you want I'll battle ye after."
You nearly snorted at the sputtering look Avery gave Gloria before you stood up. "That works for everyone. C'mon. Let's get going before the sun goes down."
Avery seemed flabbergasted as you both stepped past him and towards the door. "Good bye, Mr. Avery. It was nice to meet you." You waved at him.
"Hey! N-Now just a moment ladies!" He quickly stepped after you. "We haven't even properly met yet! Perhaps a show of strength is the best way to get to know each other."
"M'kay," Gloria agreed, "But you'll have ta wait til after I battle Klara."
Again Avery sputtered indignantly at her suggestion of waiting for after she battled Klara before grumbling,"Time to show her who the better trainer is."
You stopped as Gloria opened the door and stepped out. Avery paused at your still form before you turned looking him dead in the eyes. "Don't think I didn't hear that."
He blinked almost shocked looking at you before you just turned back around and proceeded to follow Gloria out the door but paused when you saw the outside. F/c eyes widened at the beautiful sight. The smell of sea salt and water hit you as you viewed the ocean stretching over the horizon and ended on the shoreline of a beautiful beach. You could make out a few slowpokes already crawling along the beach and to where the sand turned into grassy dirt. Grass and trees were in your view to the left as well as the start of a river leading away from the ocean and...Gloria and the pink haired woman talking to each other and pulling out pokeballs? Uh oh. 
"Hm. Is this your first visit to the Isle of Armor?" You turned back to Avery who gave you a curious look.
Despite your raised brow you nodded. "Yeah. It is actually. But it looks pretty so far. I think there's gonna be a lot of cool places to explore."
At this Avery sighed and shook his head. "She would no doubt like to run around and explore freely but first let's make sure she can handle herself." Your brow rose higher as Avery pressed a hand to his chest with a confident smile. "Naturally as a member of the Master dojo, I'll be using my psychic powers to test her strength!"
"Psychic?" You asked before glancing up at his hat and hummed. "So I guess that's how you turned gravity off on your hat. Where did you even get a top hat that big?"
Again Avery blinked before furrowing his brows...and legitimately looking like he was thinking as a battle started up not far from you. He seemed to be calculating if he should be offended by your words but decided he wasn't and smiled proudly. "I...will be perfectly honest. I have yet to meet anyone whom actually was curious enough to ask me that."
You shrugged. "Well it's not everyday I meet someone walking around with a giant magic top hat with floating pokeballs orbiting it like a planet. So I guess we can call it even."
To your surprise he actually chuckled. "That's..one way to describe it I suppose."
And you smiled at him. "I'm looking forward to seeing you take on Gloria. It should be very interesting."
He only chuckled again at you. "That is one thing we both can agree on."
It was amusing to just watch Gloria battle Klara and thereafter be defeated by said teenager which didn't take too long as they only used two pokemon each. The look on Kara's face was utter defeat and frustration but she soon smiled that sickly sweet smile again and the both of them seemed to talk a moment before Klara handed something to Gloria and run off. All the while Avery tapped his foot in wait. Gloria pocketed whatever it was before returning to you both and finally able to battle Avery.
"Well it certainly took long enough with Klara. Never the less, it's better to be fashionably late then never! Let us continue this event."
"Bring it ok! A good battle always helps calms my nerves!"
"Heh. I'll show you what true power looks like just don't overexert yourself."
The fight as you predicted didn't again last long. Although Mr. Avery sure made a show of it when he flipped his long blonde hair before taking a bow placing one hand to his chest. The pokeballs spun widely around his hat  which somehow didn't fall off his head and threw out a pokeballs which popped out an abra, then again a slowpoke as Gloria blazed through both pokemon as you predicted. The hilarious reaction that followed had you chuckling. His jaw nearly dropped to the floor wide open and the pokeballs fell from his hat a few bumping his shoulders before thudded in the grass. You wondered if his emotions were partly controlling his psychic powers whatever they were. He sputtered and looked angrily gritting his teeth.
"Good battle! I bet ye practiced a lot with that abra!," Gloria said with a smile.
Avery hissed through his teeth before casually forcing a smile and inhaling. "Ah! Um...Could you please excuse me for a moment?"
You both again looked at one another as he turned and just began picking up his pokeballs. "What's up with 'em?"
You didn't answer her. Instead focusing on Avery's mumbles and stepped closer to him.
"Improbable. No. Impossible! What kid of trick did this kid use? If a trainer of this talent arrives at the dojo then the people there very well may suffer amnesia of my existence. If only there was a way I could get rid of her but I've been tasked with escorting her to the dojo." Your brow rose behind him as he suddenly stood straight up...and turned back to Gloria again. "*Ahem* My what a good battle. You have potential. Why you made me use a whole three percent of my strength.'  He complimented making you give him a look. "But still...How should I put this? Our dojo is a respected place where even the famous Champion Leon trained. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think you're quite up to snuff." Gloria blinked. "Therefore I suggest you ignore the Master Dojo and head home as soon as you're done seeing the sights." He let go of the pokeballs now letting them float back up to his hat. "Now then farewell. I doubt I'll see you again."
Avery turned but wasn't expecting your iron grip to latch onto his shoulder and forcibly spin him back around to make him face you. Stunned Avery blinked as you grabbed his arm. "First of all, you should really learn to keep your voice down." Again he looked absolutely stunned being called out. "Secondly if we're going to be visiting the sights..." He suddenly yelped as you hooked your arm around his arm and firmly pulled him next to you. He blinked suddenly looking between you and where you held his arm. "Then our 'guide' can perfectly show us around. And the first place we want to see is the dojo." He gulped as you narrowed your eyes. "Please."
He chuckled nervously under your eyes. "I-...Well I-It really isn't anything special to see. I'm quite sure you ladies won't find it interesting at all."
"Oh but we would." He blinked as your grip let up to where you were just casually holding his arm. "It sounds so interesting. But we might get lost on the way there. Won't you be a gentleman and help us?" You smiled at him making his eyes widen. "Please."
"I-..." Avery quickly cleared his throat looking away as a tiny pink flush hit his cheeks. "Well...A gentleman shouldn't deny the pleas of a fair lady. *Ahem* I-I suppose I could escort you to the dojo b-but don't think of joining there."
"I wasn't going to join anyways remember?" You weren't but Gloria sure was he didn't seem to remember that detail as he just smiled and shifted his arm to reach out to pat where you held him.
"Yes...Very well then! Come. Allow me to escort you to the master dojo."
You smiled in triumph as he gestured for you to follow but looked over as Gloria tugged on your sleeve and whispered, "How come ya didn't give 'em the same treatment ya gave Raihan?"
"Because sometimes you can get the things you need by being nice easier. And he hasn't made any flirts towards me like Raihan did."
Gloria rolled her eyes but followed you and Avery as he showed you the way past a few trees and bushes. Past the bushes was a start of a dirt path and Avery pulled you along up the path and up a hill just a bit aways from the beach. Ahead was a bridge going right over the river and in front of that was a fairly large building. It looked like those ancient dojos you'd see in historical pictures except it was decorated with a large pokeball on the front. That must've been the dojo Avery and Klara referred to before. You all approached the bridge as Gloria looked on in awe.... before she looked down, stopped, and pointed at the ground just in front of you all.
"Oy. What the bloody heck is that?"
You both stopped to look at her then your heads turned to where she pointed. And blinked at what looked like a small mound of brown dirt sticking out of the path. After a moment it moved. A full pair of eyes and round nose popped up from the dirt and you three realized what you were staring at immediately -
"A diglett! Aw! Ain't it cute?"
Ah. It was a diglett. The small pokemon made a noise in question as Silver chirped back just as easily confused. Right. You guessed Silver hadn't seen a diglett before.
"Ah! There you are diglett!", a new voice sounded out making you all turn to the right as a tall man with a large backpack approached. He stopped right in front of the diglett. "Hahaha. You little rascal. I was worried sick about you." He then turned to you all. "Thank you for finding my diglett. I hope he didn't cause you any trouble."
"'S that diglett from Alola?"
"Oh.. I didn't expect to meet someone who knows about it. That's right. This is a diglett from the Alola Region. When I traveled Alola, I fell in love with these adorable three hairs. I caught a lot of diglett there and came back. But they ran off when I looked away for one second."
"How many did ya lose?"
"A hundred fifty one." You all gawked at him. "But now I at least have one. If you happen to find any of the others could you let me know? I'd be pretty grateful."
"That's a lotta lost digletts, but if it helps I will."
"Thanks. I appreciate it!"
The man called for his diglett to follow him and with that out of the way, you all continued over the bridge and towards the dojo. The building was much larger up close looming over you now and you felt a bit excited to see the inside. However you were surprised to see two women in front of the entrance doors looking to be talking. One was obviously Klara with her pink hair and butterfly looking bow and the other woman looked about ten years older with a green shirt and reddish hair. The two seemed to be in a deep conversation before Klara happened to look over and then stages of shock passed over her the moment she saw you three. The other woman was confused by her sudden expression before also turning to you all and blinking.
"Well..Hello, Avery," the green shifted lady spoke acknowledging the blonde man, "And who are you, Love?"
"Good mornin'! M' Gloria and this is Y/n!," Gloria Greeted pointing at you. 
Immediately a flash of realization came over the woman and she smiled. "Of course! You must be the new student that's come to join the dojo today! Avery was sent to get you! Leon told us you'd be coming."
Avery now paused. Blinked. And then also gave a horrid look same as Klara. Speaking of said woman she was quite to speak up. "Uh....Right, right, right, right!" She quickly smiled nervously and held up her hands. "Exactly, Ma'am. I swear! She must've changed her mind about joining. But here she is! I'm so glad you decided to join after all!" Both you and Gloria gave her weird looks.
"Oh everything is just coming up roses!," she woman said happily clasping her hands together with a large smile, "Now I'm quite sure they already told me about you but there was a different student Klara was supposed to bring back."
"I'm pretty sure he took the taxi we flew in on and left," you spoke up, "He seemed pretty spooked."
The lady hummed and you swore Klara was sweating enough now to make all the makeup she was wearing run. "Oh? I was told that Gloria was the one that left. Klara, you must've been mistaken."
You instantly snapped your gaze onto her. "Yes." She looked at your deep frown and narrowed eyes. "What a VERY silly mistake. I'm SURE it won't happen again." Klara gulped.
"Where are my manners. I'm Honey," the woman introduced herself, "I help keep this place running. You can consider me the lady of the house not that the Master Dojo is just any old house. Seems you already met our Klara. Bit of an odd ducklett but she's one of our own." She nodded at the still shell shocked Avery. "And of course you know Avery. Both are training hard here at the dojo so they can become gym leaders one day. I trust you three can get along along."
"Huh? Oh! Yes!," Avery sputtered suddenly forcing a smile, "It's an honor to make her acquaintance."
"Oh dear but look at the time," Honey commented looking at the sky before looking at Gloria, "Here I am making you stand around outside after you've come all this way. Come in. Come in. " She gestured for you all to follow her. "Just  don't mind the front stench of sweat."
Again you and Gloria both looked at one another as Ms. Honey turned and motioned for you to follow her. But before either of you could follow her Klara sharply turned to Gloria with the first scowl you'd seen on her that made you all pause.
"Ok. Listen you," Klara whispered to Gloria pointing at her, "If you dare tell Ms. Honey what happened at the station I'll melt you down to size. You understand?"
Gloria blinked leaning back-
"Get your mascara smeared FACE away from Gloria," You growled back at her leaning forward and getting in Kara's face with a deep scowl, "Or so help me I'll sink my hands into that cheap fake fur coat and I'll march your behind right up to that woman and tell her EXACTLY what you threatened Gloria with. I don't need pokemon to do that!"
Klara only gawked at you in nothing but shock as Gloria chuckled. "Ya just witnessed what happens whenever someone ticks off my pal! Jus' be glad ya ain't Raihan."
With a huff you leaned back up and sighed. "So.." You turned to a shocked looking Avery. "How about you show me the inside of your dojo?" He blinked looking back at you as you patted his arm still linked with yours. "After all I'd still like to see the dojo and I'm sure an experienced trainer like you knows this place like the back of your hand."
Avery...blinked again but quickly smiled proudly. "But of course. Come along now." He gestured for you both to follow him before looking back at Klara over his shoulder and smugly smiling at her.
Klara scowled at him cheeks puffed out but started following behind you all. You four followed Ms. Honey through the front doors which lead to a long hallway. So down the hall you all went as the air was filled with the sounds of... Exercising? Many voices were carried through the air as you all approached and stopped in the doorway and blinked at what all of you saw. A rather large room greeted you all. A few exercise equipment was placed here and there, a few framed pieces of art lined the walls, and smack dab in the middle of it all was a blue battle space. At least twelve- No. Fourteen people were currently in the room either using the equipment or talking but stopped and looked up when you entered. The closest to you was a small boy and an older man talking to him but both looked up as soon as Ms. Honey walked in.
"Everybody. I have an announcement to make." Ms. Honey gestured to Gloria whom suddenly looked nervous. "We've got a new student joining us today. Please welcome Gloria. I'm sure you all will have lots to teach her-" Gloria awkwardly waved at everyone. "All out students are so good and hardworking. Everyone really gives it their all around here."
"Mom!" Your heads turned. The young boy who looked no older than eight or nine with the same eyes and hair color as Ms. Honey walked up to her. "I can't find my USB drive and Dad doesn't know where it is either."
"Now here's someone not in my database of students." She smiled very fondly at the boy whom frowned. "Hello, Sweetie pie. It's not usual for you to bother greeting a newcomer. This is my only son, Hyde." Honey gestured between Hyde and you all. "Honey, this is our new student. Why don't you say hello?"
"Are you some kind of outlier?"
"Hyde, don't be rude." She sent you both an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry. He's usually friendlier. He's such a clever boy really."
"Mom. My disk drive!"
She sighed. "Did you try looking under your desk again?" Hyde blinked before he went wide eyed and you watched as he just wordlessly turned and scampered off out a different door in the room. Honey sighed again before smiling. "I'm so sorry. Hyde can be outspoken as you can see." Her head turned to stare at someone else now. "And that handsome gent in the back is my darling husband and the Master of the dojo. Why don't you come say hello dear?"
You looked at where she gestured. You blinked. And your brow rose as an older man with the LONGEST eyebrows you've ever seen smiled at all of you. Seriously. His brows grew off his face however his smile was very kind and mischievous. He wore a rather baggy pair of pants and jacket and a black hat.
"Why hello there!," hr greeted you all with a bright tone. "My name is Mustard and I'm rather good at pokemon battles you know. I'm pleased as cheese you could join us!"
Gloria blinked before giving a small smile. "Well... Cheesed ta meet ya too?"
The man chuckled at her response. "Haha. I see you've got a sense of humor too. Good. Good."
The last sentence made Honey roll her eyes. "Don't let him fool you into thinking he's just a silly old man. He's a real beast when he gets serious. Honey, this is Gloria." She again gestured to you both. "And this is Ms. Y/n. Leon dear told us they'd be coming. Remember?"
"Pleased to meet you both!," Mustard greeted cheerfully but rose a brow when turning to the blonde next to you. "And I see Avery did his job of fetching you both. We've been expecting you any day now! But now that the greetings are out of the way, this is my favorite part."
"Favorite part?"
"But of course! If you're here to train then I must first know where to start!" His smile suddenly looked more serious as he looked right at her. "I wanna see just how good you are in a pokemon battle."
You blinked as Gloria froze mouth dropping open as she gaped at Mr. Mustard. Mimicked a goldfish a few times. Before just shaking her head. "A-A battle with you?! Now?!" Her head swiveled with a nervous look at everyone around you all. "I-I-In from of everyone?!"
"Aren't you a former Champion?," You spoke up asking. Mustard according to Hop was a former Champion so if they battled Gloria would be at a pretty big disadvantage.  However Gloria's face only got more worried. 
"It's nothing too serious," Mustard assured you with a smile, "I battle every new student who comes here. It lets me see how they are in battle and where best to start them on their learning path. So what do you say?"
Gloria blinked before looking at you before you just made a shoo motion at her motioning for her to go on. Gloria inhaled deeply before slowly looking back at Mustard. "I-...Um. Ok. Sure. If ya think it'll help me."
"Great! Let's get this show started then! This is the best way to get to know new students after all!"
Mustard only gave a smile as he walked past you all towards the battle area in the middle of the room. Gloria looked more like she was being lead to her doom than a battle by the nervous look she had on her face. You could only watch being a bystander to what had to be done. Watching as both took their places on opposite sides of the arena space. Watching as Gloria shakily held up a ball...And remembering the reason why Leon recommended her here. Gloria's stage fright problem. She became incredibly nervous with lots of eyes on her and right now everyone was stopping and staring to watch. You couldn't help but wonder briefly if Gloria's stage fright was the thing that caused her to lose against Hop in the Semifinals of the Champion Cup last year instead of winning like in the game's original storyline? Would it have been different if she didn't have stage fright? Would you be back home with your mother right now? Would you be forced to live a life you didn't want to dictated by her? You'd never know. And you felt like you didn't want to know either. Besides that was the past anyways. Too late now and you couldn't turn back time. You could only watch.
Watch as Gloria got completely wrecked.
She fumbled. Stuttering out orders. Looking around instead of at her pokemon. And was overall too slow and distracted to even win. In the end it was just her defeated and standing there looking humiliated and Mustard still kindly smiling with everyone watching silently. Well silently except for a satisfied huff to your left which made you smap a scowl at Klara.
"SHUT. Your. Mouth," you growled at her.
Klara went silent quickly  and Avery only hummed watching your interactions with her with a curious brow raised. The sounds of soft clapping filled the air as Mustard approached the down Gloria with a smile.
"Not bad! Not bad at all for our first battle together! You almost defeated my meinfoo in the final round there!," he happily complimented her before stopping in front of her and humming. "After seeing you in action, I think I know exactly what we can do to help you grow here but for now I think we all deserve a little rest. It's been a long day already and it's not even lunchtime yet!"
"I...Yeah. That'd be great," Gloria mumbled.
"Do not be so hard on yourself!," Mustard spoke up making her blink, "It was only your first try! You can't expect to be perfect on your first try on anything! Everything needs time for practice and development. That's what you're here for isn't it? So don't be sad about your loss. Learn from this and work towards your goals! After all...Even Leon didn't start out on a Champion level did he?"
Gloria just.... blinked at him before humming. "I-...N-No. I don't think he nay did."
"Of course not. Practice makes perfect and perfect takes time and patience. Let this be your first lesson here." He held up a finger. "Accepting losses isn't always a bad thing. It's a part of the learning process for becoming not just a better trainer but a better person in general. Your second lesson with me is learning from your losses and applying that to make yourself better."
Gloria's eyes widened at his words but then she held a determined face and nodded. "Right! I'll keep that in mind and practice harder next time!"
He nodded in agreement. "Excellent! I think you'll be s fast learner here! Now I was planning on starting to train you as soon as you arrived but considering you've never been on the island before I'll give you a week to settle in and get used to the place. How's that sound?" Gloria blinked but nodded yes at him. "Great!" He then turned his smile towards you and Avery. "Now then you and your friend are probably tired from your trip. Avery, why don't you show them around the dojo before taking them to their rooms?"
Avery smiled proudly at Mustard before bowing his head slightly. "But of course! It'd be an honor and privilege to do so!"
Mustard nodded. "Good. Now then I bid you farewell for the day. I should really see if Hyde found his missing machine piece. Do knock if you need anything or have any questions."
"Uh...I will. Thanks."
He only smiled before he and Ms. Honey turned and left through the same door Hyde did earlier. It was a bit silent for a moment before everyone just slowly moved on to what they were doing before you had arrived. Eventually Avery cleared his throat and made all of you look at him as he smiled.
"Well then...As I have been instructed to, I will have the noble task of showing you around the beautiful Master Dojo!" His arm gestured to the room behind him. "You've already been introduced to the main training area so let's move along then. Shall we?"
You agreed but not before giving Klara one last glare as she glared back at both you and Gloria. You'd definitely be keeping an eye on both her and Avery.
"The door the Master and Ms. Honey disappeared through leads to their private home. We're not allowed in there unless it's a real emergency. In that room is the most gorgeous kitchen big enough for all of the Master's students. Breakfast is served every day at eight sharp so do try not to be tardy," Avery continued on gesturing at two different doorways attached to the main training area as he guided you towards a third just across the room. "Come! I'll show you the guest room wings where you'll be staying!"
You both followed Avery with Silver at your heels towards the door just across the room from you and threw them open. On the other side was another hallway with a single door on the right side. Avery lead you down the hall briefly pointing out the single door as the Landry room before pursuing the very end of the hall. The end of the hall split off into two more halls to the left and right. Avery stopped you both and gestured.
"This is the last part of the grand tourl, Ladies." Avery pointed down the left hallway. "That is the mens' wing. Women aren't allowed there except for Ms. Honey for cleanliness inspections." He then pointed down the right hallway. "Your rooms would be located in the womens' wings. Oh! That reminds me! I was supposed to give these to the one I was tasked with escorting here." Avery reached into a pants pocket and pulled out two small keys. Each had a tag with a number on it. "Now I understand why I was given two sets of keys. These are your room keys. Don't lose them. Your room is the number on the key. You both are in charge of your keeping your own rooms tidy. Ms. Honey does cleanliness inspections once a week."
You both watched in awe as the keys were enveloped in the same blueish aura Avery's pokeballs were covered in and both floated over to both you and Gloria. Silver chirped in curiosity as you both slowly took them. Avery only smiled proudly at your awestruck faces.
"We all take turns doing chores around here in a rotating manner," Avery explained further pointing a finger, "Just look on the rotation roster for your names and which duties you're doing that day. They're always posted around noon there."
"Thanks. You've been pretty helpful," You thanked Avery whom only smiled and tipped his hat at you.
"But of course. This is where I bid you ladies adue for the day. I have other matters to attend to."
"Yeah. We'll catch you later." Both of you watched as Avery simply just walked away from you both before you again looked at the keys in your hand. "Ok... Seriously. How does he do that?"
Gloria shrugged. "I dunno. He's a real interestin' character tho eh?"
"Yeah. So is that Klara person." Your eyes narrowed. "I think it'd be best if we kept an eye out for them just to be on the safe side."
"I hear ya. Been through this thing one too many times."
"No kidding. Come on. Let's go get settled in and then we can go look around for the rest of the day. It'll help if we get familiar with the layout of the Isle."
"Oh good! Then I can work on my armor dex challenge!"
"You accepted another dex challenge?"

~Avery X Reader~
Word Count: 932
Content: SFW
-Attention-
Out of spite and dislike for being inferior in any way, Avery ran away from the thought that you were in any way, shape or form likable. Actually, he found your overly friendly behavior annoying and repulsive, or so he has been led to think by his own complexes.
Anybody else would've found you charming and fun to be around, having so much to say at any given moment, but not Avery. He had been furious every time you'd meet, hence just the thought of your smiling face made him red in the cheeks.
How does one, or rather, how does he, knowing you so briefly, have learned to hate every cell of your entire being, fiercely and passionately? That's why he needed to see you again. Prove his strength and overall dominance.
Yet again, Avery lay awake in bed thinking about you and all the ways he could show off his natural elegant glamour and make you like him more than you already do.
Scenarios were playing in his mind like an old film, you being impressed, utterly defeated by his strong drive to be Galar's own Psychic Gym Leader. The way you'd mouth a 'wow', clapping your hands and stating: 'Yeah, you're really cool, Avery! Now I see what you meant by your impactful words!' or… something like that.
That should be the winning formula.
He grinned and chuckled to himself, gripping the sheets close to his chin. A rival is always a rival. It's a cute concept, in a way.
Wait, no, not cute, I meant, uh, mighty! Yes, indeed, a mighty occurrence, something to be thoroughly cherished as an opportunity to outsmart and outwit your, quote, buddy. At least that's how Klara always is when he's involved.
Surprise, surprise, the next time he saw you, idling around in the Wild Area, you were chatting with her, giggling, having fun. Avery's fist clenched on instinct. Siding with another enemy force? You?? How ever could you?! You were supposed to be focused entirely on him and his dashing battle tactics, looks and charm!
He pushed his glasses up his nose and swallowed the lump in his tightened throat. He was super nervous, twirling a strand of his silky blond hair around his finger.
If he could figure out what you were thinking, if only he knew what your opinions on him were, what you liked, what your favorite places were… no, no no, he got sidetracked.
While tugging on his cravat, teeth nibbling on one of his nails, lost in ocean deep thought, you finally noticed his tall hat and waved at him.
His name being called so joyfully snapped him back to reality, gaze adjusting to your distant figure. Avery could barely make out a beaming smile on your face, but it was certainly present, the edges of his lips subconsciously tugging into a tiny smirk of his own.
Klara put a hand over her mouth, and laughed for a brief moment. She gave you a playful, friendly hit to the shoulder, briefly nodded at Avery and went her own way, probably to train up some more, ready to wipe the floor with him the next time they would meet. Or pretend to train. Avery was confused about her missing the opportunity to squabble with him, but what puzzled him more was the warmth in his chest when you suddenly appeared in front of him, outstretching your arms as an invitation to a hug.
That must've been a kind of frustration only the best of the best feel towards each other as trainers.
Actually, now that he'd though about it, did he ever announce your rivalry out loud? Did you even know?
He was looking into your eyes, admiring the brief but innocent sparkle.
He felt funny.
"You wanted to have a battle, right?", you asked, slowly linking your hands behind your back, seeing that he wasn't interested in an embrace, "That's why you're here, I assume?"
No, not only a battle. A battle with you. To prove that he is good enough. So that you would notice him and admire him.
Toying with one of his levitating Poké Balls in an attempt to distract himself from the flips his stomach was stubbornly performing, he opened his mouth slightly with the intention of replying, but nothing would come out.
He had nothing to say. Not even an arrogant remark. Only heavy silence pressing on his ears. He felt his heartbeat in his neck.
What kind of trick did you use?
Where did all of his strength go?
Your cheeks were slightly tinted pink, you were fiddling with your thumbs, patiently awaiting some kind of response.
He was forced to look away, palms getting a bit sweaty, his own face redder than yours, color present even on the tips of his ears.
Avery stepped forward awkwardly, shaky arms gently enveloping you. And oh did he regret not doing that earlier. He felt welcomed, accepted, finally seemed like he belonged.
"I am, i-indeed", he stuttered,
"And this time, (Y/N), I will try my absolute best", his grip on you briefly tightened.
"More than three percent of your strength now?", you chuckled, throwing your arms around his neck.
"All of it."
"If you lose, you're buying us lemonade later!"
Immediately, he agreed, but not without a forced complaint.
"Don't breathe in my ear, scoundrel!", he exclaimed, to which you started laughing, your chest pressed to his, him clearly feeling all the life in you. Somewhere along the way completely forgetting that he ever totally seriously and utterly sincerely hated you. Or something.

True Colors
Mustard has you and Avery to work together for a trial. You guys end up seeing new sides of each other.
Hope someone reads this and enjoys💖
Tumblr media
You came to the Isle of Armor for reasons that you kept personal to you. Well, actually, your brother forced you to come here thinking it would help improve your confidence.
He trained with Mustard, so he figured the older man could help you as well.
Your partner pokémon was Sylveon, who's been with you since forever. He was your very first pokémon, and was the closest thing you had to a friend. So, when you arrived at the Isle, you expected to only hang out with Sylveon.
You never expected to make so many friends.
However, as you bonded with your fellow trainers, you failed to make friends with a star student of the class. Avery seemed very determined to stay belligerent with you, keeping his distance and making snarky remarks whenever possible. People described him as a bit of a bully, and you could see why. He definitely used those physic powers to his advantage.
Still, whenever you were confronted by him, you acted with kindness. It’s just who you were, and it seemed to baffle him every time. 
Avery just didn’t understand you.
One day, Mustard decided to pair people up for another trial. You were paired up with Avery, being told by Mustard that you were probably the only one of his students who could put up with him. Still, the older man added that you were also probably the only one who could cause Avery to break down his walls a bit.
You were still pondering what he was talking about.
The challenge was to catch a rare and strong pokémon. Obviously, Mustard had something in mind already, and your job was to figure out what that was. Other teams have already ventured out into the wetlands as you waited for Avery with Sylveon on your shoulder.
“Seriously, what is he doing?” You asked your partner, who merely squeaked in response.
Eventually, Avery did show up, but he was dressed differently from his usual taste. He was wearing the dojo’s signature uniform, top hat gone, and his beautiful blonde locks were tied up in a high ponytail. It was clear to see that he has been working out. His gorgeous blue eyes were still hidden behind his frames, a necessity for him. The new outfit on him almost made Avery look approachable.
Handsome.
You shook your head with a blush at those words, Sylveon swatting you slightly with his ribbons. Without so much as a hello, Avery walked past you and used his physic powers to pick up his pack of supplies.
“What are you gawking at? We need to move.” Avery’s frustrated tone caught you out of your daze as he flung the pack over his shoulder. You quickly snatched up your own before following him into the wetlands.
You’ve been walking for what felt like hours with the hot sun beating down on you. Avery took the lead, walking ahead of you at a pace that you struggled to keep up with. The pack started to feel like a bundle of iron weights on your back, the sun making it ten times worse. Eventually, you began to slow down.
Normally, you’d have your Lucario come out and help you, but she didn’t like Avery much, so that was a no go.
The sun had practically melted your mind, so you almost didn’t notice when your pack was suddenly removed from your back. Perking up, you noticed Avery keeping pace with you as he lugged your bag of things onto his other shoulder. You felt flattered for some reason. Even though there was sweat dripping down his face from his own baggage, he decided to take yours as well.
“Thank you...” You said quietly, and Avery seemed taken aback from the gratitude. He widened his eyes only slightly, getting a bit flustered, before huffing and looking away with a frown.
You guessed the redness on his cheeks was from the sun.
“I can’t have you slowing us down.” He mumbled, but you still felt grateful despite the snarky comment. Whether it was from the extra weight or something else entirely, Avery stuck by your side now.
Soon, rain began to fall.
Now you and Avery were huddled together under a small tree to keep dry. The two of you were practically shoulder to shoulder, with him being taller than you. He also looked less than thrilled about the situation.
“How are we supposed to complete the trial in this? My foresight didn’t predict this.” He muttered.
“I find the rain kind of relaxing...” You said, taking in a deep breath of the moistened earth. Avery scoffed slightly.
“You would think that.” He retorted to you, and all you could do was smile. You had nothing to refute that with. Avery soon crossed his arms and stared off into the foggy forest. 
“Why did you even come here?” Avery soon asked you, his voice a tone of irritation rather than curiosity. But you were just glad he was willing to make conversation.
“Well...my brother forced me.” You said with a nervous chuckle.
“Hmm...I see.” You realized that was Avery’s prompt in asking you to continue. He was definitely smarter than some people gave him credit for, if he was able to determine that there was more to your story. That, or he really didn’t care.
But you just gripped your pants in a nervous manner, which he took notice of immediately.
“My brother forced me to come here because he believed it was best for me. After my ex-boyfriend used me...than cheated on me...I had a rather low self-esteem. Not only that, but I was being picked on because of said actions. I felt so stupid...my brother could tell I needed a confidence booster, and he felt this was a safe option for me...” You explained, and you dared to glance at Avery.
He looked so horrified.
“I’m...I’m sorry...I had no idea. About the way I treated you...I’m sorry...no one deserves that...I should’ve acted more like a gentleman...” Avery stumbled over his words, clearly not used to apologizing. But you just smiled and waved him off.
“No worries. It’s all in the past and I’m doing much better now. Plus, I would much rather get picked on by you than those other people any day.” You told him, and Avery didn’t really know how to respond to that.
But you saw him get flustered slightly.
“So...why did you come here?” You wanted to change the subject, and you were ready for Avery to deny that knowledge to you. But instead, he just took a deep breath.
“I’m here to get stronger...and prove myself to my family. You see, I come from a long line of physics that run the gym here in Galar. Thus, I was destined to lead the gym before I was even born...but...my powers are only adequate.” As Avery said this, he used his talents to stop some of the raindrops. They glimmered slightly in their physic state before Avery let them plop onto the ground, watching them with disappointment.
“I think your powers are extraordinary!” You praised him, and he reacted the same as earlier when he held your things for you. He looked surprised before looking away with a fluster.
“Extraordinary to you...but an embarrassment to my extraordinary family...” He mumbled, and you took a risk. You placed a hand on his shoulder, making him tense up slightly.
“If that’s what they think...then you deserve better.” You told him with a smile. It took Avery a while, but he eventually moved his hand to rest over yours, smiling back.
“So do you...” He said in reference to your ex. His actions caused you to blush as this was a side of him you’ve never seen before. However, eventually the rain let up slightly, breaking up the moment and allowing you guys to go searching again.
But then night soon fell.
You and Avery made camp out in the forest, allowing your pokémon out of their balls to roam around a bit before getting into your tents. You expected dinner to be full of tension and perhaps some bitterness from Avery. However, he acted like a total gentleman, helping you whenever possible.
Who was this man? This wasn’t Avery.
You were beginning to realize that you had a crush on this man, despite the dislike he held with you. As you guys went to your respective tents for the night, you didn’t know how you were going to fall asleep with this knowledge on your mind. But you soon did, with Sylveon snoozing beside you.
Then came the thunderstorm.
Apparently, that break in the rain was the calm before the storm. You awoke abruptly, fear squeezing in your chest as a struck of thunder came. Sylveon was still sleeping, but you couldn’t help but feel afraid. You didn’t know why, but you always had a slight fear of thunderstorms. Normally, you’d release your other pokémon to help you calm down, but you couldn’t do that in a tent.
You don’t know what compelled you to, but you quickly snatched up Sylveon and your things before going over to Avery’s tent. As expected, he was in a daze when you suddenly barged into his personal space.
“Y/N? Why are you in...my tent?” Upon realizing that, he blushed profusely. 
“I...I’m afraid of the storm...can I stay with you?” You hated that you even had to ask him. This should be something that you could handle on your own. However, you almost didn’t hear his answer. You were distracted by how adorable he looked sleepy without his glasses.
“You’re afraid of thunderstorms?” He asked you in surprise. After nodding, you expected mockery. However, he just shuffled over a bit to make room for you.
“It’s okay to be scared, I understand...I’m certainly in pyshock though...” He grinned a bit when you giggled at his pun. However, you thanked him quickly before allowing Sylveon to curl up against you as you laid down. You could hear Avery shuffle as well, and you tried to focus on sleep instead of the handsome man who laid less than a foot away from you.
Soon, a beautiful morning came with the sun shining down on the rain-covered plants.
You woke up first, seeing Sylveon curled away from you. Turning over, you almost laughed when you saw Avery. Everything about what you witnessed was an opposite to how he portrayed himself. His hair was a mess (still in a ponytail), and an arm was over his eyes as he snored cutely.
He looked just like a boy.
However, your staring must have woken him, because you soon made eye contact with his blue irises. Avery nearly shot up when he realized that you were still in here.
“Umm...good morning?” His usual cocky nature was replaced by a timid one as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“Good morning. Thank you again for letting me stay. It was a big help.” You informed him with a bright smile, making him look even more flustered.
“Don’t mention it...” He mumbled, looking away again. Eventually, you slipped out as he placed his glasses on his face physic style. With a new day, you guys decided to spend all the time looking for that strong pokémon. However, it was clear that Avery had changed as he was much more kind and helpful with you. Not to mention how nervous he seemed.
Perhaps you changed as well.
Soon evening came, and you guys have found nothing. The two of you were disappointed, but no one blamed it on the other. Eventually, you guys were making your way back to the dojo as the setting sun cast a golden glow over the land.
“Well...we didn’t find any strong-looking pokémon, but I still think I found something worth treasuring...” Avery’s voice startled you, mostly because you expected him to be too downtrodden to talk. But before you could ask what he meant, you felt Avery’s hand brush against your own. You thought it was an accident, until he did it again.
And again.
Then you did it.
Finally, he found the courage to grab your hand in his and didn’t let go.
Blushing, you looked up to see he was looking away from you again. But this time, he had a faint smile on his lips. The way he was treating you held the answer to your earlier unsaid question. 
You. You were worth treasuring.
As you guys walked back, still hand-in-hand, you came to a realization as well. Avery was not the stuck-up guy that your fellow trainers told you he was. He just had such high walls put up around him for protection purposes as he always thought he had to prove himself. 
Guess you were the one he finally felt comfortable enough to show his true colors to.
Upon walking inside, you guys noticed the other pairs were equally downtrodden, but they all had pokémon with them. However, Mustard just look disappointed until he spotted you two.
“Y/N! Avery! What did you bring?” He asked excitedly. However, you just looked down.
“Nothing...we found no pokémon fitting your description.” You told him, and he beamed.
“Exactly! You passed the trial!” He exclaimed, causing everyone to look baffled.
“H-Huh?!” Avery was just beyond confused as were you. Mustard then explained how you both obediently followed his words, trying your best to follow the description to a tee instead of just scrapping by.
“Not only that...but I see you both have found something far more important than some imaginary pokémon...” Mustard whispered to you both with a smirk, glancing down at your intertwined fingers.
You and Avery blushed but didn’t let go of each other’s hands as you flashed shy smiles at each other.
“Honey! Put some soup on for our winners! They’ve earned it!” He said while giving you both a wink. You and Avery continued to look overwhelmed by his words, but eventually the physic just confidently brought you into the kitchen with him.
There was the Avery you knew.
You understood that you both had a lot to explore with each other, but you knew that Avery was worth the time. It took an ex, your brother, Mustard, and a storm to prove that.
Screw the people in your guys' lives that made it hell. Now the two of you had each other, and you were glad you finally got to see the real Avery.
Don't worry, he'll take you on a real date soon.

can you write yandere!klara and yandere!avery realizing each other is a potential rival over the reader and shenanigans ensure? like klara tries to put poison spikes on avery's bed and avery tries to levitate darling away from klara claiming he thought he saw them almost tripping
Tumblr media
✧Rivalry✧ — Gym Leader Klara vs Gym Leader Avery
Tumblr media
Hoo boy. I wish you best of luck, darling. First of all, these would be highly possessive of you; always wanting your attention or praise. Whether they admit to that or not.
In the beginning, they wanted to deny that they've grown an attachment towards you. It was absolutely preposterous that they would ever have feelings for you! You're the thorn on their side! Well... Not anymore, but you're still their rival! Having these fuzzy, unhealthy feelings means that you have the upper hand, which is what they don't want.
Klara is the first to cave in. She could care less that her love for your was borderline obsessive; all she wants is your attention. So she of course, tries to wrangle it out of you through honey coated words and sweet smiles. She's sure you're not that busy with anything to avoid lil old her, right? Of course not! You're not a dunce after all and you care too much for her to ignore her!
Avery comes right in once he notices Klara's behavior/actions. It's not that hard to notice how much she hovers over you, plus the insistence to train with you no matter the time of day. He isn't a fool, nor someone who will let this slide. It brings a bitter taste in his mouth when he so much as glances your way, only to see Klara near you. Well... Two can play at this game. He manages to be the first to greet you when you approach the Master Dojo every single day, meaning he has dibs on where the two of you will go afterwards. It brings a smirk of triumph on his face knowing that he has more free time with you while Klara has to wait.
There's no way Klara would turn a blind eye. She takes notice immediately what Avery is up to and seethes with jealousy. How dare he! Doesn't he know that you obviously have someone more important to spend time with? Who does he think he is!? Almost on the verge of throwing a fit, Klara quietly hatches a plan to get the psychic type user away from you. Her first thought was to fake an injury so you'd coddle her, but the spite she felt diverted her thoughts to just sabotaging your training session with Avery. He wouldn't be able to battle properly if his team were inflicted with poison. Klara smiles to herself as her rival excuses himself to go heal his pokemon, leaving her to drag you wherever she wants.
This pisses Avery off, because who else would have poison types at hand... Plus, he narrowly avoided a the chance of food poisoning once he realizes a certain someone tampered with his food. How pitiful can this woman be? Certainly you wouldn't want to associate someone with underhanded methods only a dark type would possess. Again, he can't let this whole thing slide, so he throws back what has been throw to him. DEFINITELY will use his psychic abilities to pick you up out of nowhere, claiming you're needed elsewhere. Unbeknownst to you, the two are sending glares at each other.
Oh, and you bet the two have spats whenever you're not around. It ranges form petty insults to... Personal insults. Klara is much more harsh when it comes to the latter, because once it is clearly known that Avery doesn't possess all psychic abilities, that's the weak point she goes for. It gets on Avery's nerves to hear the same things told to him by his family from someone he detests. He does bring up Klara's failure in being a pop sensation, which just causes her to go all out with threats. In short, the two would absolutely use each other's insecurities against one another.
Making the other look bad is also common. Klara always claims that Avery isn't up to snuff at the Dojo or even as a lower division gym leader. She also tells you how uptight and arrogant he is. "Plus, his puns are soooo lame! Everything about him is so lame! But not me, right? I'm super cool to you, right?" Avery, on the other hand, tells you that Klara is an annoyance and that she's only around you for the sake of getting something from you. It's not hard to believe that one day she'd throw you under the bus when the time is right. "I know people like her. She's only around you due to your battle prowess. If you were any one else, she wouldn't give you the time of day. Oh, but of course you still have more reliable individuals such as myself around."
It gets bad. They're both trying to sabotage one another's image, so you'd of course lean more towards the other. They also try not to let their quarreling be known to you. All you're aware of is the two having this sort of rivalry, but just in terms of battling... At some point, they will cave and fight over you while you're around. Maybe you assume it's just for your time, but slowly and surely you realize that the two are extremely serious about taking the other out of the picture.
Also, others should be very wary of them if they so much as try to take your attention away from the two. Dealing with one of them is bad enough, but having the two of them on that person's tail will not end nicely.

Isle Connections Ch5 Similar Situations
(Warnings: Toxic family and relationships mentioned in this chapter. Reader also gets pushed down and has a twisted ankle.
 This will also expand over a course of some time. I'm going off the info provided by Avery's league cards added below: 
Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each of has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy . This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say.
Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo.)
Tumblr media
You had thought long and hard about what Ms. Honey had said to you. Eventually Gloria and Hop arrived back while you were thinking and you were concerned when you saw how dirtied up and tired they were.
"What happened to you guys?! You look like you rolled down a dirt hill!"
"Well we found a giant vespiquin nest and accidentally fell inside it's den bit don't worry! We're alright!," Hop held up his hands seeing your shocked face and held up a plastic see through bag full of pink honeycomb and globs of sticky honey. "And we found the max honey! I'm gonna split it with Glory and take some back to Sonia with the max mushrooms too! I'm sure she'd love to study it!"
"C'mon! Let's go show Master Mustard!"
In the end they ended up dragging them with you inside and up to Mustard who look pleasantly surprised that they had succeeded in their little quest. 
"Welcome back my wondering wooloo," he greeted you all with a smile. "Oh. And what is that sweet scent I detect wafting through the air around you?"
"Ha! That'd be the max honey! We got our hands on a nice haul of it!," Hop said proudly showing off the bag. 
Mustard smiled wider. "Really? Already?"
"You out me and Gloria on the case. There's nothing we can't do when together!" Gloria nodded proudly making Mustard chuckle.
"Haha! You did a mighty fine job finding it with only a hint from me. Nicely done both of you!"
"You didn't forget what that certain something was for a second did you?"
"Who? Little old me?" He chuckled making both Hop and Gloria look at him deadpanned before he waved them both off. "But enough of me. You two did well so Gloria can have a break from training for the rest of the day. Get some dinner and clean yourselves up. There'll be plenty of more training tomorrow."
He left then going through the doors back into his own home. You supposed you could've just asked him where Avery was then but...you were still unsure about what to do about this at all. You'd have to think more about this more before you decided what to do next-
"I'm gonna take that leap in my training."
You were snapped out of your thoughts by Gloria's voice as Hop looked at her. "What, Mate?"
She inhaled before steeling her gaze. "He said when ah was ready with Kubfu ta see him about the next step in mah trainin'! She held a fist. "I've been training for months now n' I know we're ready! First thing tomorrow, M' gonna take that leap!"
Hop immediately smiled at her. "Alright, Glory! With all the work you've done you'll do amazing!"
"You'll be great," you agreed, "....I'll be taking my own leap tomorrow too."
Both looked at you. "Whatcha mean Y/n?"
"Don't worry about it. It's just something I need to take care of."
That night you all cleaned up and slept. Or as best you could. You felt very anxious and nervous about everything that'll happen tomorrow but you thought long and hard and decided to take Honey's advice. You were going to talk to Avery. It'd be best for everyone involved if you apologized to him and smoothed everything out. So tomorrow you'd ask Mustard where you could find him. Early the next morning you woke up bright and early and caught up to Gloria and Hop on their way towards Mustard's  office but not before you insisted on them getting something to eat so they wouldn't be hungry later today. Mustard was already ready for her watching everyone else training.
"Ah. Good morning, Gloria!," he greeted with his usual bright smile. "Are you ready for today's training? I think I have a student that'll go extra hard on you today!"
Gloria shook her head with a determined face. "Not today." He hummed curious. "Ye said ta come to you when I thought kubfu n' I was ready ta take on the next step o' my trainin'! We'll I'm ready now and I'm here to make that leap!"
He hummed again carefully looking over her then at kubfu. "Well it seems you both have grown more confident! But are you sure you're ready for this? There's no shame if you'd like to train up a little more first."
Gloria shook her no. "Nay! I know we're ready! Please lemme try."
Again he smiled and carefully looked them over for a moment... before smiling wider. "Very well. I daresay I think you're both ready!" Gloria lit up happily as he nodded his head towards the door. "Follow me you two."
"Wait." He paused to look at you. You hesitated before stuttering out. "I-I wanted to ask you something important-"
"I'm afraid that will have to wait after I get Gloria on her way but follow me and I'll get right to you. Come along." He smiled knowingly. "I think I can help you along the way as well."
He turned away and continued walking out of the dojo. You three looked at one another.. before Gloria started following him and you two started walking after her. You three all followed Mustard outside of the dojo and followed him towards the Forest of Focus. You all followed him through the woods slowly step after step until you all came out into a clearing. A similar clearing to the one you found Avery in. Again the anxiety bubbled up as you silently just followed him until he stepped halfway in the middle of the clearing and turned back to Gloria smiling looking around a little bit before nodding and speaking.
"Phew. Guess this is as a good spot as any," he spoke looking at Gloria. "Now then. If you want to get stronger there are special training grounds just for kubfu. Prepare yourselves for the Towers of Two Fists! The blue tower is the Tower of Water!" He pointed towards the left. "Located that way. And the red tower is the Tower of Darkness." He then pointed to the right. "Located that way. Chose wisely since you'll only be able to climb one of the towers. Kubfus fighting style will change depending on the tower you chose and the types it'll get will change as well. This will be the next step in your training."
Gloria blinked wide eyed before looking to the left and then slowly looked to the right. "I can only choose one huh? What's so special 'bout the towers?"
"Each tower's five stories tall and each floor has a tough opponent waiting for you. I chose eight of my toughest senior students for this so it'll challenge you for sure. Im really looking forward to seeing you two make it to the top of one of those towers. It's going to be exciting. So...which one will it be?"
Gloria fell silent looking blank for a moment again looking both ways carefully for a long time silently. Calculating and thinking hard about this. After a long moment she finally spoke. "Well...Mr brother's already trainin' ta be the next water type gym leader." She looked towards the right before pointing with a firm look. "So ah pick the Tower of Darkness!"
Mustard nodded. "Wonderful choice. I look forward to seeing you there!"
"I'm coming too," Hop piped up. "I can't wait to see her in action." He paused as Mustard shook his head. 
"No. This is something Gloria must do herself. She can't have any help from anyone else or else she fails."
"Oh...Can I at least go with her then?"
Mustard hummed... before nodding. "You may be allowed to accompany her to the tower but you're not allowed inside. Alright?"
Hop nodded sighing. "Yeah. I guess that's fair." He still smiled before turning to Gloria. "I bet I can still beat her to the tower though."
"Oh you're on!"
Hop laughed before shooting off running away from you all towards the right with Gloria smiling and quickly running after him with Kubfu close behind at her legs. You watched them laughing and run off through the clearing and into the woods until you couldn't hear or see them anymore. You were glad they were happy at least. Gloria would do great. You believed I'm her. 
"Now." You jumped whirling back to the old smiling back. "You wanted to ask me something?"
You blinked before shaking your head. "Uh..Y-Yeah." you cleared your throat and looked away to avoid eye contact which made him raise an eyebrow. "I-..Um-...I-I was wondering if you could tell m-me where Avery is. I-....I need to talk to him about something important."
There was silence as he just looked at you silently knowingly. Before smiling wider. "Nope! I have no idea where he is!"
"What?!"
"Little old me forgot sadly." Your face dropped- "But I do know he likes to take his rapidash on walks through the berry grove allegedly. You might want to try your luck there. Whoops! I just remembered that I have somewhere to be!" He just casually stepped aside and started walking off in a random direction. "Good luck with your own mission. Im looking forward to seeing your own progress."
You shook your head and turned..but paused when you realized he was already gone. There wasn't a trace of him anywhere. For a little old man he sure moved fast. Your head silently looked back to the left. ...The berry grove huh? You knew where that was. Slowly you started walking that way Silver walking behind you as you made your way back through the Forest of Focus. The greenery making the forest beautiful but you didn't focus on that. Only pushing through to where your destination was...And you knew you were in the right place as the trees started getting smaller and smaller and their branches were full of berries. You stopped in the middle of the grove looking around..but there wasn't any sign of Avery much to your disappointment. Where could that guy be?! Mr. Mustard said he'd be here. Silver didn't pay any attention too busy distracted by the plump berries hanging on the trees before looking over and seeing the smallest tree. His appetite enticed him to walk over towards it and the plump ripe pecha berries handing from its lowest branches. He kicked his lips looking back at the branches and stared at them from the base of the tree contemplating on how to get them. That's when a hand shot out of the bush next to him and snatched him up!! Silver's loud startled cry made you jump and whirl around wide eyed before you froze.
"SILVER!!"
"I FINALLY GOT ONE!!," A man in a dojo uniform shouted proudly holding up Silver by the jacket he wore. "A CAUGHT A SHINY!!"
Silver kicked out and struggled in the man's drip chirping in both anger and panic looking at you for help. "SILVER!" The man jolted as you yelled making him look at you wide eyed. "THAT'S MY DRIZZLIE!! PUT HIM DOWN!"
The man blinked. "Your drizzlie?" His eyes narrowed. "How do I know you're telling the truth and not just trying to take my shiny from me?"
"Why the heck would a wild shiny wear a jacket?!" The man blinked...and just dumbly looked back to the small jacket Silver always wore. "Look! Silver is mine so just put him down!"
He didn't. "Tell you what. How about we trade for it?"
"Silver is a HE not an it! And no way!! I'm not going to just trade him off to a random stranger!"You stomped up to him. "Now give him back!"
"No way!" He held Silver higher as the drizzlie continued kicking and struggling. He scowled at you. "I've been looking for a shiny since I got here and I'm not giving up the first one I see! Just get another one!" 
"NO!! GIVE HIM BACK!!" You lunged at him but he was bigger and taller than you, able to push you back easily with another arm as Silver cried out from his hand. "GIVE ME BACK MY POKEMON!!"
"GET OFF ME!" A hand shoved you hard pushing you back and making you trip to land on your side in the grass. 
As soon as you hit the dirt a blue aura surrounded the man. He gave a noise of confusion before he yelped out as he was suddenly levitated into the air. He floated high above you before given a hard shake. Silver dropped from his hand with a loud noise and landed on the ground next to you. Immediately you grabbed him and bear hugged the Pokemon to your chest staring up confused at the floating man. What the heck was-
"How rude." You both looked over. "Now that's no way for a man to treat a lady. Hadn't your parents taught you any manners?"
Your eyes widened. "AVERY!"
Said blonde man stood there one glowing hand held up levitating the man a frown on his face. Behind him was a rapidash looking annoyed too. "Now do us both a favor and leave my sight."
With a snap the man was dropped harshly with a thud. Panicked, the other man immediately stood up and ran from the scowling psychic. You sat up onto your knees slowly watching as he left .. before sighing and pulling Silver closer to you.
"Are you alright?"
You looked up at Avery staring at you with an unreadable expression. Blinking you nodded. "Uh. Yeah. I'm ok."
He nodded. "That's all that matters. Good day to you." He turned to walk away.
"HEY!! WAIT!!" You shot up to your feet quickly and lunged at him to latch onto his elbow which startled him into jumping and blinking at your face. "Don't go! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
Avery stared stunned at you jaw dropped and sputtering looking between you and where you held his arm. "I-...Y-You what?!"
"I came to apologize!," you blurted out before he could do anything else, and he was again shocked into silence. "I was a huge jerk and I shouldn't have shoved you or yelled at you or called you names! That was absolutely wrong of me and I'm really sorry for everything!" There was still stunned silence as Avery continued to stare at you before you sighed and released his arm letting your arm drop back to hold Silver better. "I don't expect you to accept my apology because honestly you don't have to but I just wanted to say sorry."
Avery still stared at you for a long, long... LONG silent moment as you figured nervously under his gaze. Eventually he slowly sighed before nodding. "Very well then. Miss Y/n, I accept your apology." Your face perked up as Avery pressed a hand to his own chest. "But let me give my own apologies to you for that unruly and brutish sight you had caught me in. I am . utterly ashamed of my past behaviors and..You were absolutely right." His eyes glanced to the side. "That was completely wrong of me. When the Master found out what I did..Well let's just saw my punishment was extended for two more months and I had to apologize to everyone."
Your eyes widened. You.. Weren't expecting Avery to be so calm or take this so well. "It's..Ok. But still..I went too far when I brought your gym leader status into it. I uh..Kinda heard what happened."
He huffed giving a small sad smile. "Yes. Well it's not exactly a secret about what I've done. I have no one to blame but myself for my behavior but I am striving to do better! Don't think I've given up on gaining my gym leader status back in order yet!" He finally smiled brightly making you feel relieved. "But.. Um. Exact h-how much did you hear about me?"
"Oh. Just that you kinda got in trouble with the league and you came here to train." You hesitated for a moment. "Um...Also that your family..is a bunch of jerks too."
He looked surprised for a split second before again smiling sadly. "Jerks..Well that's certainly one way to describe them I would use much harder names that I wouldn't repeat in front of a lady."
You blinked surprised. "That bad huh?"
"Oh, you don't know the half of it my dear lady." He crossed his arms with a sigh, looking off somewhere. "My family...is very hard for me to get along with. We don't exactly see eye to eye on a lot of subjects. Most of them are..very cruel in fact."
Your face softened as you looked back to him. "Yeah. I know how that feels. My parents are really terrible people too." Surprised he glanced back at your saddened look. "My mom is really... REALLY hard on me."
His brows rose higher after that still in a bit of shock and curiosity now. "Hard on you? ...What had she done?"
"Ooh Hoho! Where do I even start?" You strained an unhappy smile and gestured at nothing. "She was always difficult to deal with but it wasn't always on such a bad level. She...never did a whole lot but things weren't bad until my parents divorced when I was around eleven or twelve. That's when things were hard." You didn't see the way Avery's eyes widened behind those glasses but didn't comment as you angrily ranted. "It's hard to explain. But it's like as soon as he left a switch flipped. Everything was wrong. Anything fun was wrong. Anything liked was wrong." ..You shrugged. "But then again thing's weren't easy once Dad left. Everything was more expensive now. M-Mom had to work a w-whole lot to support us. But she took it way too far! Everything was 'too expensive' now." You made air qoutes with your hands. "She had me start working right away to help pay bills."
"When you were just eleven or twelve!?"
You nodded. "Looots of babysitting and walking dogs- Uh..pokemon and mowing lawns and tutoring and shoveling driveways to help pay the bills. And that was in between the chores and constant studying she'd had me do! And Dad was no help considering he just ghosted us after that! UGH!!" Your hands were thrown up in the air as you wished you could punch a pillow. Making Silver squeal out in your grip. "..Sorry, Sil. It was like I was in a box! I'm so glad I finally left. We uh...Don't talk to each other anymore. She was just a narcissist now that I think about it. It was always 'Her', 'her', 'her' and never once about ME except when it was something I could do for HER! Or something I did 'wrong' or how I should date her nice wealthy friend's son- UGH!!" Your face fell into your hands. "It was just a nightmare."
Avery only stared at you as you ended your rant hugging Silver close to you. He contemplated something in his mind, hesitated, before he spoke up. "My..parents view me as a disappointment." You paused.. before snapping at him wide eyed but he was only staring off at nothing. 
"What?! Why would they do that? Sure you might've gotten a bit..off the path as a gym leader but you're doing so much better now. You even got stronger-"
"No. No. It's not about the league-..I mean it IS about the league too but it's not fully that." He attempted to explain to you before he just sighed and let his arms drop. "My..family lineage is made up of many psychics like myself. Only.. they're not like myself. Not at all. All of my family can use teleportation or telepathy or more common a combination of both. I however..can N-Not use either of those gifts."
"You... can't?"
He shook his head. A hand reached up to twirl around one of the pokeballs making it bob around his fingers. "The only thing I'm able to do is levitate objects. Which is why I was labeled a...d-disappointment."
"What? How could they say that?" He looked surprised when you reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "That's still a really special gift. I don't know anyone else that can levitate things! Your powers are still rare and really cool! Look at how they helped me! You're not a disappointment. Avery, you're a hero."
He blinked wide eyed at you for a moment before smiling with a huff. "I did save the day didn't I? Yes! Avery old boy, you still got it!" He paused feeling the sudden force of more weight being pushed onto his and looked at your hand, then at your wobbling form, and then down to your legs. Your left leg lifted up off the ground. He pointed at it. "I dare say, what's wrong with your leg?"
"Oh. I twisted my ankle when that guy pushed me."
He looked concerned. "Does it hurt?"
"A bit. It's gonna be hard to get back."
"By yourself? And leave a damsel in distress alone?" Avery shook his head before grabbing your arm. "Oh no. I can not in good conscience leave you to hop back to the dojo and risk hurting yourself further. I'll simply lead you back on my elegant rapidash."
"Your rapidash?" You blinked looking behind him and back to the unicorn pokemon who still stared at you. Oh. You almost forgot about him. "Oh. ... He's very beautiful." The rapidash tossed his head back, head up high, proud of your compliment. "Are you sure he'd be alright with it? I wouldn't want to make him uncomfortable."
"Such a caring mindset, but I'm sure Rapidash wouldn't mind as long as you don't try pulling his mane. He hates that."
"Don't worry. I won't."
You were expecting that Avery would help you move to get on the rapidash, but you weren't expecting him to suddenly scoop you up bridal style making you squeak and him chuckle as a pink spread across your face. He walked you over to the rapidash that knelt down to allow his trainer to gently set you on his back and stood back up. 
"Don't worry, My Lady. We'll walk slowly so you won't fall off. Just hang on. And don't worry. If you fall, I'll catch you again in my arms." You went a deeper pink and he chuckled again.
Hanging onto the rapidash, Avery slowly lead him back to the dojo where everyone stopped and stared as Avery lead the horse pokemon right into the dojo and straight to a worried Ms. Honey. When you both explained the situation she looked both worried and angry at the person who did this. Avery helped you down off the rapidash and you were quickly rushed away by Ms. Honey to be treated. Thankfully it wasn't anything serious and you'd be better soon. Hop and Gloria had also returned a little while after. Like you suspected, she not only passed her next step in training but also managed to evolve her kubfu into an ursifu! You were so happy for her! In Mustard's own words-
"Impressive. Very impressive indeed! I knew I could put my trust in you. Gloria, you've done well to train Kubfu up to that level of strength. You're the first one to pass this trial. Leon was my best student and he too tried this task..but he never completed it. He kept getting lost along the way. No matter how old I get, seeing someone grow brings my heart joy. However there's still one last part of your training you must pass. The ultimate hurdle. The toughest opponent on the Isle will challenge you soon, so you must continue your training and train yourself hard in order to have a chance to beat him. Are you willing to put in that much more work?"
Gloria agreed without hesitation. "Ya got it! I'll train harder than ever n' take him head on!"
"Haha! That's what I love to hear. I will contact him when I think you're ready. In the meantime rest up for the day. You deserve it."
From that day onwards Gloria continued training harder. Often battling Hop even to help get stronger. The two of them also managed to find that guy all his digletts earning her a few last Alola Region pokemon. Your ankle got better fast too. You and Hop continued to help Gloria with her share of chores and you kept a watchful eye on the both of them like you promised Leon. Avery seemed to be better now that you both talked things out. In fact he felt so much better that he approached you one day surprising you. You were both outside watching as Hop was coaching Gloria through a series of push ups when he walked up to you.
"Miss Y/n. Do you perhaps have a moment to spare?"
"Uh. Sure. What's up, Avery?"
He smiled. "Well it accured to me after speaking with Gloria that you don't have any pokemon other than your shiny there."
"Silver Veil. And yeah. I never really got any others. Why?"
"I just so happen to have an extra ponyta that I have no use for." He held up a pokeball to you. "And I don't trust Anyone else here to care for her the same way you care about your drizzlie- Uh. Mr. Silver Veil."
You stared at him in awe before he nudged his hand forward allowing you to slowly take it from him. ... before smiling. "Avery. This is so nice of you." You smiled widely happy at him. "Thank you."
He lit up a pink before clearing his throat and smiling. "But of course. I always-"

Discord (16+) - Request Information - Event Post 
Warning: This is NSFW so if you’re under the legal age or uncomfortable with content like this, please skip over this one! This piece is for an event that’s linked above with the other information!
Avery - “Ah, ah. I didn't say you could touch me.”:
You couldn't help yourself as your hand trailed down Avery's bare chest, fully intent on feeling where you two were joined. Avery clicked his tongue and you could feel a pull on your wrist before they were wrapped around his neck.
"Ah, ah. I didn't say you could touch me." He said, holding you still on his cock. You were seated on his lap and tried to move but something was holding you down. You always forgot that he was an actual psychic himself, and he loved abusing his powers when it came to intimate times.
"Avery, please just fuck me. I'm sorry." You said and he clicked his tongue again. His grip on your hips tightened around you and he seemed to be thinking.
"I didn't realize you were planning on being such a brat tonight. How about you sit there pretty for me until I learn to watch your mouth and follow my directions. Am I clear?" He said, still using his powers to keep you from moving. You went to protest when you saw him grabbing his phone, presumably to go online and ignore you until you could behave. A whine left your throat as you came to terms with your predicament.
