So Unfair (Pokemon Gladion X Reader One-Shot)

So Unfair

I don't know if any of you were aware, but I'm a pretty huge Pokemon Fan.

This is pretty common in the modern world, but hear me out.

Pokemon Sapphire for the Gameboy Advance was the very first game I ever played. I have a Sceptile, who I named Lucas, (I was like 5 give me a break) that has literally been with me ever since said game on Gameboy, the first Pokemon I raised to level 100, and I remember when I brought him from the 2D Games to Y on the 3DS and into Pokemon Amie...

His eyes widened and he smiled at me.

I literally cried, I ain't even going to lie.

Needless to say, Pokemon has a very special place in my heart, an irreplaceable place in my heart.

So what better way to show that than with a heartbreaking one shot?
How good of a sad it's gonna be, idk. I don't even know if I'm gonna get Gladion's character right, but just bear with me please, it's 1 AM, I'm trying here.

If you guys would like me to delve deeper into the world of the Pokeguys, do let me know. I just may pull a Fire Emblem and make a book out of it.

Just let me know.

ALSO, I know in the game it assumes your character and their friends are around 11, but FUCK THAT. I'm not making a one shot about some damned tweens. You all are going to be around 17-20, with Gladion being 19.

Also, spoilers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Idk about Sun and Moon, since I've never played those, but while plot will be altered to fit with MY story, there are some scenes that happen in-game that appear in this one shot. You've been warned.

=====================================================

Something about her definitely intruigued Gladion the moment he set eyes on her.

Maybe it was that Dartrix at her side that looked at her with so much affection in its eyes, that it nearly overflowed.

Maybe it was her (h/l), (h/c) hair that was held back by just a few pins and left unrestricted by the lack of a hat, which a lot of new trainers wore, Gladion noticed.

Maybe it was those reflective (e/c) eyes that took his breath away as soon as they made contact with his, shining with curiosity as she asked for his name.

He didn't know, but something about her made him weak in the knees, a feeling he definitely wasn't used to.

When he first battled her, he wasn't expecting to be defeated by her so easily... Her and her Hariyama didn't even break a sweat against his team, and it left him with wide eyes and a gaping jaw.

"That was so exhilarating! You have to battle me again sometime! C'mon, it's great exercise for my Pokemon!"

Dartrix next to her trilled in curiosity.

"What?"

"C'mon, you HAVE to! Pleeease?"

Gulping away a lump in his throat, he just backed up, feeling a thin layer of sweat form on his face. What even was he supposed to say to someone who wanted to see him and battle him again?

She put her hands on her hips, biting her lip as she waited for his answer...

"Fine! Will you just stop staring at me like that?!"

Her eyes visibly lit up as she nodded in approval.

"Great! Then I'll see you around!"

All Gladion could do after that was wonder while she walked away...
