Royal Pain (Guzma X Reader)

Destruction in Human Form

The next morning, you were able to sleep in a couple hours. You had a great nights sleep after unloading all your worries onto Hala. You were still confused by his reaction, but it was a pretty strange story.

You ate breakfast in the cafeteria and met some fellow pupils. Everyone was so nice unlike team skull. Sure, the grunts there were alright, but everyone was constantly on edge because of Guzma's ass. It was nice to be able to see some genuine smiles.

You stepped outside the dojo after feeding Wigglytuff and Petilil. It was then you noticed that Iki Town was quiet. Very quiet. When you first entered Iki Town just yesterday, there were multiple training sessions occurring on the platform. Now, it seemed like a ghost town. The few faces you saw were ones full of worry and sadness.

Among the faces was a familiar one; it was Hau. He seemed distraught which didn't match his attitude and positivity from yesterday.

"Hey, um Hau?" You asked while approaching the kid. You weren't completely sure if you were saying his name right.
H: "Oh! Hey, Maisie right?" Hau perked up and tried to convince you that everything was fine with his words and not his tone or body language.
"Haha yeah, um what's going on? Everyone seems-"
"something's happened." He said blankly. His face turned serious once more.
"What...what has happened?" You asked nervously.
"Lillie and Nebbie were...THEY WERE KIDNAPPED, MAN! THEY WERE KIDNAPPED AND TAKEN FROM KUKUI'S NICE LIL LAB WITHOUT A TRACE. THEY EVEN DESTROYED A BUNCH OF KUK'S LAB EQUIPMENT!" The boy started sobbing with his suddenly elevated voice.

You weren't used to this sort of emotion from others. You're family didn't believe in showing emotion, but allowing Hau to hug you tightly felt right. It gave you the sudden adrenaline to fight whoever was making this child upset. The energy seemed to travel all the way to your two Pokémon that were rattling in their pokeballs.

You gently pulled Hau away, wiped his tears, and said, "I know who did this and I'm going to make them pay."

You weren't sure if you completely believed your own words once they left your mouth, but that little Hau boy sure did. There was no turning back now, you were going to have to play the hero instead of the damsel for once in your life. You were going to go save Lillie....and Nebbie of course.

***Ya Boy back at the skull mansion***

Gander: "Yo boss, that little girl hasn't stopped crying. What should I do?"

Guzma was sitting in his thrown with his fingers pushed into his temples. He was stressing out over the fact that he had his boss's daughter captive. He would've brought her back last night, but it was too late in the night. They were going to have to take her today. The problem was, Lillie was crying and struggling to break free. There was no way they could drag her into Malie City like that; people would get suspicious. Everything had to be extra secretive when working with Aether. They had a reputation that, unlike team skull's, had to remain pure. They needed to board Aether's ship like they were forced to instead of intended to.

Guz: "DAMMIT, GRUNT! I don't fucking know what to do with her right now, aight?! Jus' tell that brat that if she keeps up this act, that ya boy Guzma's going to come in there and make sure she really has a reason to cry! Got it?!" He pounded his fists onto the throne arms as he yelled which made Gander flinch uncontrollably.
Gander: "Y-Yes boss!" He did a mock solute and hurried out the door.

Gander traveled down to the basement where Lillie was locked away. Once Lillie heard footsteps, she continued her crying fit.

Lillie wasn't sure if she was crying from fear of team skull, fear that Nebbie would be sent back to Aether, or if her tears were from utter frustration in the whole situation. Either way, she seemed to be an expert at the move waterfall.

Gander: "Hey there, girly. You done being a baby yet?"
L: "Leave me alone."
"Listen, sweet cheeks, boss man is one mean dude ok? If you just pipe down and cooperate, he won't hurt nobody, capeesh?"
"Why should I listen to y'all? Y'all are the bad guys!" Tears started to stream down her face again.
"Actually, it's yo mama that's the bad guy...err girl and I think you know this."

Lillie was shocked. She knew of her mother's crazy plans, but she didn't know team skull of all people were helping.

"What could they possibly do to help anyone?! They can't even help themselves," Lillie thought to herself.

L: "What are y'all going to do to me?" She hesitantly asked.
Gander: "Time for you to go home, lil girl."

***Back to you!***

You arrived at Kukui's lab to see the door completely ripped off it's hinges. You approached cautiously.

"Did Guzma do this?" You said to yourself.
???: "He certainly did."

You yelped at the unexpected voice. You turned to see it was Hala coming to greet you from inside the lab.

KH: "Sorry, Maisie. Did not mean to startle you. Please, come inside." He motioned for you to join him inside where the damage was far worse.

You saw Kukui twirling some broken wires in his hands as he stared at the ground.

"Kukui...I'm...I'm so sorry that this happened." You felt incredibly at fault for Guzma attacking the lab. You figured he was out searching for you and knew you'd go to Kukui.

Kukui replied without looking up from the ground: "You know, I made sure that when I built this lab that it would be able to withstand the strength of Pokémon moves." He brought his hands into tight fists then looked up at you and Hala, "What did this was no human. He may be destruction in human form, but I have an idea of what this destruction may be and it's definitely not human."
