(Author's Note: Hello everyone, thank you for your patience in my unfortunate timing. It was an eye-opening moment for me and my family, we got the chance to say our goodbyes and the ceremony was, hopefully, to their liking. The time gap since the last update wasn't planned, I did try to finish this chapter after a much-needed time away from Social Media. But it was hard for me to enjoy this book as I used to, so as of today when this is posted, this book will be Paused or possibly Discontinued. I feel awful for abandoning this book because like I said I truly loved making this book and the tons of ideas I had for the "Reader", you and Hop that was going to be absolutely adorable. I do hope that someday I find myself back in this book and get the same inspirational sensation so I could deliver the best love story for you. I'll leave you folks this chapter, it won't be edited and it might be somewhat of a horrible rough draft, but I didn't want to leave without posting this cause it's been here for so long and I would feel guilty for leaving it here in Drafts. Well lads enjoy this Chapter, see you next time :] )

Emotional Damage

"Who's up for a second round?"

Raihan questioned holding up a large spoon, Victor and (Y/n) quickly shook their heads no longer feeling their tongues. Their stomachs ached silently groaning at the discomfort they knew of what was to come later.

(Y/n) escaped first wandering over to the couch, where she last left her phone noticing a red blinking light. She plopped down and checked it realizing Hop had sent her a message a while back.

She frowned at the message calling over Victor. He groaned in response nearly falling off the stool as he tried to walk. She showed him the message also getting a frown,"Guess the couch is just for us then"

"Who's and what about the couch?"

Raihan called from the kitchen cleaning up the dishes and leftover pots. (Y/n) slowly stood up waddling over to show him the message of Hop saying he'll be camping for tonight.

He raised a brow turning back to cleaning the dishes,"Seems like he lost the battle against Fluffy"

"What makes you think he lost?"

"Well he wouldn't be camping if he won, chances are he lost and is collecting the loss"

Raihan stated in a matter-in-fact tone, (Y/n) hummed staring at the message, not knowing how to respond. Seeing as how she took too long to answer she put a thumbs up without realizing the damage she just caused.

Joining Victor on the couch she plopped down asking what he thought about the message. He shrugged saying it could just be Hop wanting to get more Pokemon.

"Yeah... That's probably it"

"And speaking of Pokemon are you ready for the fourth gym?"

(Y/n) shrugged, curious as to which Gym Leader she'll have to battle, everyone knew the fourth gym has a rotating Gym Leader, one of Ghost Type and another being Fighting Type.

Either or it doesn't change the difficulty of the Gym. She looked down at her lap picking at the pants Hop picked out for her. Her thoughts wandered wondering if she'll need to train harder for her next badge.

"I'm going to train up my team, we barely made it past Kabu in the last Gym"

Victor groaned thinking of the battle he had with the Fire Gym Leader. He was lucky Thawakey evolved last minute and pulled through.

He shifted in his spot draping his arm over the furniture and lounging sideways. A heavy groan came out of him not really being able to think much thanks to his, once again, bloated stomach.
