My Hero Academia Imagines

Pikachu (Kaminari Denki)

Kaminari Denki x Reader

Requested by: WolfGirlN

Request: Hello! Can I please request a Kaminari x reader scenario where reader is in General studies (1-D) and is a Twitch/Youtube streamer? She has about 1,000 followers, and is often streaming in her dorm room. Kaminari walks in to her streaming competitive pokemon battles with her viewers, and when he walks in, she says "There you are IRL pikachu! Come meet my fans!" Does he go over and say hello? What does he say? If it helps, there is face cam! Thank you very much!

(AN- Changing up a little to work better for me.)

Kaminari had known for a while about girlfriend's streaming hobby, as well as the small amount of money she made from it as well, and would always make sure to check in with her before he came over to her dorm room. He didn't want to interrupt her or distract her with her streaming after all. But after the particularly bad day, he had with classes and the general come and go of his own personal luck or lack thereof... he really needed to see someone who would comfort him a bit.

And so for the first time in the relationship, he was popping by without telling (Name) beforehand. He knew her classmates wouldn't mind him coming in or him going directly to her dorm. And soon enough he found himself opening the usually unlocked door and entering the room.

"Hey sorry to just show up... but I wanted to see-"

He paused when he spotted her by her desktop, mumbling something under her breath as the screen in question still held her attention. The scene of a battle between an Alola Ninetails and a Jolteon. Ice and electric moves crossing the screen and making the female trainer groan as her Jolteon was nearing low HP.

Her eyes wandered up to the face cam she kept in the corner, seeing the electric male standing awkwardly in the corner, not sure if he should even be here or if he should try to sneak out before (Name) noticed him.

With a giggle, the female in question waved him over, showing the hero course student that it was okay and he was more than welcome in her battle gameplay. Kaminari came forward, grabbing her desk chair, as the trainer was sitting in her wonderful chair (which she constantly boasted was only $399!).

"Pokemon?" Kaminari mumbled, watching as (Name) was quick to use a hyper potion to restore her beloved Eeveelution's health back to maximum.

"Yeah. Facing a couple of fans rn... and hoping none of them are screen cheating." The female with (eye color) hues warned her audience.

The chat blew up, but not with replies of promises that they were not peeking at her moves... but rather with something else. Something that one person knew and the other did not.

"Send Pikachu in!"

"Pikachu!"

"Pikachu has arrived!"

"Notice me, Pikachu!"

"Your chat is weird." He laughed, getting a kick outta the messages you were getting as the Ninetails finally went down with a quick attack from your Jolteon.

"Hmm?" You looked at the chat yourself on the other monitor, then suddenly laughed. "They're talking about you..."

Kaminari looked at the female with wide eyes, a soft blush coming onto his cheeks. "H-Huh? Me?!"

He pointed to himself and at that moment the chat went off again, lots of people confirming it and also saying all sorts of references to the Pokemon he suddenly had taken the name of.

"It's a long story..." You sighed, but the smile on your face didn't fade. "Basically... I let it out a few weeks ago that I had a boyfriend... and well my fans kinda went crazy. The most I told them was that my boyfriend was like Pikachu... and they managed to figure it out from there.

So you've become known as 'IRL Pikachu' for the chat."

Kaminari blinked, remembering how UA itself was pretty well known and he was one of the top 16 from last year's Sport's Festival. And now his slightly famous streamer girlfriend was making him even more popular among her small gathering of fans.

"Awe you won!" He cried as you finished off your opponent's Dragonair. "Who are you gonna play next?"

"I was thinking you... if you wanted to run back and get your 3DS and we could battle for a bit."

"Really? You wanna face me?!" Kaminari was glowing was happiness. "I'm super good! My main team is all level 100s!"

"I think I can handle it..." You smirked. "Now hurry up an go. I'll entertain the stream while you do."

Kaminari nodded, dashing out to get his gaming device from somewhere in his messy dorm room while you started looking at the chat. The messages coming in slower now, most excited to see what kind of team Kaminari had.

You smirked at one particular comment and nodded along to it.

"Oh yes... I will definitely bet he has a team of mostly electric types." You spoke as you started going through your PC and to the section of level 100 pokemon you had. "So... for good measure, I'll be putting a few ground types in my team for this match."

You adored Kaminari... but not even your Pikachu-like boyfriend would be given any sort of handicap from you. Not when you were so set on being the Pokemon champion.
