A Champion's Time (Leon x Reader x Raihan)

Chapter 23: The Pokémon Nursery!

"Espurr! Disarming voice!"

Espurr shot of his attack, hitting the  wild pokémon head on. Swirlix fell to the ground and immediately fainted.

"Wow! Awesome shot Espurr!" You exclaimed, rushing over to your pokémon. Espurr stared off into space as you snuggled your face against his.

"You're actually following directions now! At this rate, you'll defeat Raihan in no time!"

When Raihan randomly bursted into laughter, you turned to face him.

"What's so funny?" You asked.

"Hate to burst your bubble, but Espurr is lightyears away from my team," Raihan explained. He didn't even bother to look up from his phone. "Like you, Princess."

"Rude! Suicune can wipe your entire team one-on-one, Dragon Tamer," You flatly said. When Raihan began laughing again, your cheeks heated up from embarrassment. "Stop laughing!! It's true!!!"

"Well, I guess it's nice to dream big," Raihan said. "In terms of strength, Leon is first. I'm a close second, and you're........not even on the list."

"How am I at least not third?!!" You asked.

"Piers is third. Well, technically he could be second, but that's another discussion."

"....Who the heck is Piers?"

"I'm sure you'll meet him soon enough, Princess."

You sighed and turned away, deciding it was best not to push the subject. After a few more battles against the trainers on Route 5, you arrived at a fairly large building.

"What is this?" You asked, looking up at the building.

"It's a nursery," Raihan explained. "I'm sure you had one in Kanto."

You turned to face Raihan, your eyes wide with surprise.

".......How did you know I was from Kanto?"

"I overheard your conversation with Hop."

"You mean you snooped," You flatly said. "I didn't know you could stoop so low, Raihan."

"Well it's your fault. You never say anything about yourself," Raihan said. "I barely know anything about you. Well, besides your height...and bra size."

"H-how do you know that!?" You exclaimed, feeling your cheeks heat up.

"Leon and I went through your underwear, remember?"

You sighed aloud and facepalmed.

"You two are the worst."

"No need to be shy Princess. Big or small, I like them all~"

"Just stop talking already."

You made your way over to the woman standing outside the nursery. The second she saw you holding Espurr, she smiled.

"Hello! Would you like us to take care of a pokémon for you?" The woman asked. You nodded.

"Yes! Could you take care of Espurr for me?" You handed your pokémon to the woman and she eagerly plucked Espurr out your hands. 

"Of course! He's absolutely adorable!"

Espurr screeched at the top of his lungs and bit hard into the woman's arm. When the woman screamed in pain, Espurr jumped from her arms back into yours.

"E-Espurr?! What's wrong?!!" You asked, completely in shock. Espurr replied by slapping you across the face. You sweatdropped and the woman spoke aloud.
