Pokemon Sword and Shield Minor Gym Leader Milo x Reader

Finding The Starter Pokemon

"I..."

You started to sniffle, your past flooding back.

Milo began to hug you again. Patting your back with not too much force.

You leaned in his embrace. He flinched a little, but he got used to it. Burrowing into his chest you cried even more, not conscious as to why you're even in this position with him.

"I-I c-can't a-afford t-to-to"

"Shh, shh... Take a deep breath. Count from 1 to 10-or any number that stops you from crying."

"O-one"

"T-two"

"Th-ree"

"F-ffour"

"Ffive"

"Six"

"Seven"

"Eight"

"Nine..."

"Ten"

You were still sniffling but finally let go of the hug.

"I-I'm s-sorry for c-crying on you."

"Don't worry about me, I'm worrying about you. So are you up to telling me or maybe for another day?"

I can't hold it anymore!

"N-now"

"Ok, I'm ready when you are ready."

You took deep breaths for a few seconds.

A wooloo rolled down the hill next to you, distracting both of you for a bit.

"Silly wooloo..."

You giggled a bit at his expression.

"When I was supposed to pick my starter pokemon a decade old. I did try to choose from Grooky, Scorbunny or Sobble... "

He stared at you smiling, showing that he wants you to continue.

"But when I saw their faces, they looked terrified. It was as if they were kidnapped."

You let a tear drop to your cheek.

"I was worried, worried that they would never get to be happy with me as their trainer."

"So I decided to catch the first pokemon I will meet that makes me feel a great connection to them."

"Yet ever since I rejected, I wonder how those pokemon were doing. I never met any pokemon that my instincts approved for."

"Y/n may I intrude?"

"Y-yes, I was done telling my summarized past..."

"Well since you got that out, let me tell you my story. I met Gossifleur when I was a kid at Turffield."

"Your lucky to have a pokemon of your own then..."

"Yep, but don't fret. I'll help you find your very first pokemon."

R-really?!

"Thank you!"

You pounced on Milo leaving him under you.

Both of you were blushing madly.

People who were watching you 'WOOOOHED' in response.

OH NO! I COULDN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!

So you quickly got up and helped him out, he sure was heavy.

"S-sorry about that! Anyways Y-you may contin-nue."

Y/n you clumsy girl...

"Ehh, it's alright. I'm used to being tackled head on by rolling sheep."

You laughed for a few moments.

"B-but back to my story, Gossifleur was getting attacked by a hungry-looking Blipbug."

"So naturally, I did the right thing. To save the young bud."

"I took a few bug bites. That didn't stop me from rescuing him."

"When I got away with Gossifluer in my arms, I quickly went to my parents. Asking them to heal him in any way they can."

"You and I are both alike, concerned for these creatures."

"I'm glad you found your pokemon that way.

"When he became more aware of his surroundings, Gossifluer went into a panicking state. Hopping and running through closed windowsills.

"Woah, that must've caused a ruckus."

"Yeah, he did. My parents were mad at me, saying that if I didn't capture it or at least calm it down. They would release it into the wild."

"Can't deny that mom is like that at times too."

He gave a shocked look.

"We are the same!"

He held out a hand, you gave him a high five.

Both of you were laughing. 

"So let me guess, you decided to capture Gossifleur. How did he react about it though?"

"When I tried to capture him, he looked like he was happy to be mine. He even acted joyful before and after I threw the Pokeball my father gave me a long time ago."

"That's good to know, I always have my Pokeball on me. Gotta be ready to meet the one."

"Yes, the one..."

He was looking at your face, smirking a bit.

Uhhh, why is he looking at me with that face?

When he noticed you looking tense, he scrambled and scratched the back of his head, almost tripping his hat off. Giving a screwed impression.

"Haha! Would you look at the sun it's already afternoon!"

What afternoon?

AFTERNOON?!?

NOT AGAIN I SKIPPED A WHOLE DAY AT SCHOOL!

Mum is going to kill me.

"Looks like I'm going to receive the talk again..."

"Oh... Okay... I guess we talked too much for a day."

He looked upset but shrugged it off by helping you stand up. Grinning as he grabbed your hands carefully.

He is warm and open as everyone says...
