Nemona x Reader: The Journey of A Lifetime

Nemona

"Hi." was all that escaped your mouth as the two of you made eye contact. She managed to say something better than "Hi", but a faint blush lingered on her face, making her look even cuter. Clavell smirked and cleared his throat, before speaking up.

"Shall we ask him for his decision, Miss Nemona?", he asked.

Nemona quickly snapped out of it, and hastily replied with a "Yes sir, most definitely." which was completely channelling her inner head girl vibe. She then turns to you with a breathtaking smile, as she aligns the three starters you were given in front of you. And there you were, indecisive of who to pick. Sprigatito seemed nice and elegant, but you never had a preference to grass types since the past. Next was Quaxly, who was busy fixing his hair, to which you replied with a naughty ruffle of his hair. Quaxly was angered to the point that it shot a stream of water at you, causing you to stumble backwards, which brought a laugh out of everyone present there. You stood up and shrugged it off, and as you finally reached Fuecoco, something felt right, and you ended up picking the future Skeledirge.

You thought you were done for the day, but before you were just about to head out, you heard Nemona call out to you. Apparently, she had also picked a starter, and wanted to battle you. As Clavell walked away, You smirk lightly, getting cocky about yourself winning and proving your skills in front of this cute girl. She had chosen Sprigatito, the grass type, which you knew was weak to your new fire type pokemon, Fuecoco. You send him out, hoping to end the battle quickly, but Nemona had other plans. She orders her Sprigatito to use hone claws to boost its attack, while simultaneously ordering it to dodge the incoming ember. Sprigatito did it with such elegance that a normal person would think that Nemona and her new pokemon have been partners for years.

"Sprigatito! Use scratch!" was the last words you wanted to hear, as you stood there in horror as you helplessly watched Fuecoco take hit after hit from Sprigatito, ultimately falling to a critical hit from bite. Fuecoco fell, and soon, Shinx followed too. You lost. The first battle you participated in since moving regions ended up in the exact way you didnt want it to. Immediately, the past memories of your loss against Cynthia in the championship run back in the Sinnoh region. You couldn't shake the feeling of defeat off of you, and just tried running away as fast as you possibly could. You could hear that cheerful tone that Nemona spoke in turn to a worried tone, while she called out "Y/N WAIT!".

You managed to run a few hundred metres away, before bending down to catch your breath. "Fuck, I should've stayed fit while I had the chance to..." You thought to yourself. Just a few seconds later, you heard a pant behind you. You turned around and saw the familiar face of Nemona, with a small smirk on her face. "What was that all about? Couldn't handle losing to the Champion of Paldea?", she jokes. Your eyes visibly widen, "I didn't know that..." You state. "And it's not that... It's... It's something else..." You continue, but not without a moment of hesitation. Nemona lightly bumps your shoulder and chuckles, "care to tell me about it Y/N?", she asks. You initially shake it off, but after constant pestering from her, you finally cave in, clearly annoyed about it.

"I lost to Champion Cynthia, okay? In the most important battle of my life, I fucked up and threw the battle against her Garchomp." You say. Nemona's expression immediately changes into a sorry state, before she asks, "Then what... happened?" You sigh deeply, before asking, "Then what else could happen? I released all my Pokemon and went back to studies... I quit Pokemon battles from that moment." You were disappointed to relive that sorrow moment, but just as you were about to turn away, two arms wrapped around you, catching you totally off guard. As you snapped back to reality, you realized it was Nemona, hugging you out of pity for you. "I'm sorry... for annoying you about it..." she whispered.

A few moments later, awkwardness struck as the two of you separated with very visible blushes on your cheeks. You were speechless, but Nemona always had some sort of conversation opener up her sleeve. "Shall I show you the way to our school then?" She asked. With a small smirk on your face, you agree, hoping that it would be a rosy walk to school. Your little private walk plans were abruptly cut short as a large red object went flying straight over you guys, before strangely dipping once it passed the cliff. The two of you run towards a small opening in the fence, but as you lean over, you couldn't quite make out what it was.

"I don't know about you, but Ohhh Boy! Does that... 'Thing' look powerful!" Nemona exclaimed, clearly aroused by this mystery Pokemon.

As you tried to lock in even more, you didn't notice the fact that you were standing on the edge of the cliff. You heard a faint sound of falling mud, before the ground under you gave way. Fear was glued into your eyes as you saw yourself falling down a great height.

"Y/N! NOOOOO!" was all you heard, as you closed your eyes, certain that death was going to take you away at such a young age.
