Milo's POV

"But Milo I can walk by myself." (Y/n) whined and refused to let me help her, I gave her a playful smirk.

"Okay, if you can walk then I won't help." I pulled my arms away from her and allowed the girl to sit up, which was what she did. Yet the moment (y/n) placed a bare foot on the ground, she tumbled forward. I knew exactly what would happen and was already there to catch her, "See, now let me help you alright." I rested my head on hers and then stood us up once she nodded.

"You're really lucky you know."

"Oh am I?"

The girl shifted so she could look up at me, "Yeah I probably won't let anyone else but you help me, so that makes you special." That made me smile.

"I thought I was special when an unresponsive nine year old let me into her life." I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled the girl close, who giggled softly at my response.

"Awwww how cute! Gordie you didn't tell me they were a thing." I know that voice, yep it's Melony.

"Mooooommmmm, whhhyyyyyyy aammmmm IIIIIIII heeeerrrrreeeee, I neeeedd tooo traaaiiiin." And there was Gordie, as usual being a loud and overdramatic rock head.

"Shut it you and I know for a fact that you weren't training, you were probably playing with Shuckle or working on your 'victory' smile." Melony murmured the second part and I looked down to see (y/n) cracking up at that, Gordie on the other hand was wide eyed.

"Heh, you're not wrong." The rock lover sighed.

"Why are you here?" I questioned Melony, gesturing to the object in her hand.

Melony smiled and looked at (y/n), "Here's the gym badge for Circhester," the white haired woman sighed at our confusion, "the rock type leader and I decided you would've bested us if it weren't for the accident. We made sure to watch your previous battles and with the fact that travelling to Circhester in your state wouldn't be good for you." Melony explained, handing the short girl the gym badge.

"If dad never forced me to come I wouldn't be dealing with this-" Gordie kept muttering under his breath, (y/n) had managed to walk up and stand before him.

"Yeah, but you wouldn't have- woahh!" The girl fell forward, landing atop the silver and yellow haired boy. I chuckled softly at this, "Just because I fell doesn't mean I'm done!" (Y/n) screeched, so I then went to grab my bag and let her finish.

"Milo, a little help? Your girl is starting to sound like Melo-" he was cut off by the white haired woman slapping him upside the head.

"That's Mom to you!" Melony scolded, poor Gordie he's getting yelled at by both (y/n) and Melony. I thought and pulled (y/n) off of Gordie, earning an angry glare from the girl.

"I wasn't done!" She puffed out her cheeks and huffed loudly, I smiled at her actions and ruffled her (h/c) hair.

"Well I think Melony can handle him, besides we need to get home." I gestured to the pair and she nodded, we left the room without them even noticing.

Time Skip

"Home sweet home, well your home not mine." (Y/n) spoke happily as we walked through the door of my house, I had told the pokemon not to tackle her the moment she walked in and it looks like they were doing just that. "Wait where's the team?"

"Outside with the Wooloo." I answered and sat (y/n) down on the couch, "I'll go get them." I smiled and was surprised she didn't complain about staying in the couch.

The moment I went to the back all of her pokemon rushed up to me, asking if she was here. During the time I had been caring for her pokemon, their voices became clearer and now I understand what they're saying easier. When I nodded they all flashed inside, they are going to break something sooner or later. I shook my head and followed the team.

"Woah, look at you Noivern. I bet you had a hard time getting here without running into anything and Glaceon I thought you merely tolerated Riolu." I smiled when I saw how gentle each of the pokemon were. Noivern was on the ground and curled around (y/n), who was now on the ground, Togetic was sat atop her shoulder, Glaceon and Riolu were in her lap, and Ninetails and Boltund were laying beside the girl. The group continued talking and catching up, I took the now open place on the couch and admired the scene.

"What, no!" (Y/n) giggled at Ninetails, who was telling her something about Boltund and Noivern. The laughs went on for a little while, eventually stopping abruptly. "Really!? I never thought of that."

"Hey if you're fine here, I have things I need to get done. It shouldn't take long." I got up after that, though I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder.

'Love you, Dad.' Togetic's voice sounded pretty tired, her small, white hands gripped my shirt. 'And Dad loves Mom.' Togetic murmured before soft snores overtook her voice.

"Yes Togetic," I looked back to the (h/c) girl still surrounded by her team, "I do love Mom."

Sorry about the short chapter, started running out of ideas. Also I didn't feel like writing the ice and rock type gym battles, yeah. Anyway
