{3rd P.O.V}

After the trio left the Malasada Bakery, Guzma started leading the way to a private and less crowded area so the 2 can talk. When (Y/n) was about to give a Malasada to her Yamper, she was pulled aside by a random stranger and started to panic.

"Is that man bothering or hurting you, miss?" The stranger asked, sounding very worried.

"S-sir, I don't know wh-who you are, b-but you're bothering me." The young girl stuttered in fright, struggling to get out of the man's grip.

The girl's Pokémon started barking at the stranger and used the electric type move, spark, on him. The man's grip loosened as he fell to the ground, paralyzed from the move Yamper had used on him. (Y/n) was shaking like crazy, that was the first time that has ever happened to the young girl. The scene replayed in her head over and over while the electric type Pokémon was whimpering, concerned for her owner. (Y/n) was startled and snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Guzma's hand on her shoulder.

"Whoa, whoa, hey, calm down, I'm not gonna hurt ya. Are you ok?" The white haired male asked the (h/c) female.

While the female was trying to catch her breath, she nodded her head, still shaken up about earlier.

"Ok, let's get out of here quickly..." With that, Guzma grabbed (Y/n)'s arm and quickly walked out of Hau'oli City.

"What... Wh-what did that man m-mean...?" The female asked, kinda asking no one in particular.

While still walking with Guzma, the male sighed to himself and decided to keep a conversation going with the frightened girl that he was kinda dragging behind him. He needed to calm her down, so talking was the only thing that came to his mind.

"Kid, do you even know who I am?" He asked while slowing down the pace a little.

"U-um... y-you're Guzma, you t-told me who you a-are..." The girl said, sounding confused from the question she was asked.

Guzma stopped in his tracks while (Y/n) did the same behind him, assuming they were in a private spot. A loud, frustrated groan could be heard from the male as he let's go of the girl's arm. (Y/n) was a little scared after hearing how frustrated Guzma sounded.

"B-by the way, Guzma, how did you find Yamper?" The female asked, slowly calming down since they're in a private spot.

The male looked over at the female that was shorter than him. He was trying to collect his thoughts and then spoke, getting his mind off of the question he asked.

"After you bumped into me, your Pokémon went in the opposite direction from where you ran. I was gonna tell you, but you already ran off. So I chased them and caught them before they could go any further." The male said, rubbing his neck nervously.

(Y/n) nodded her head at Guzma. "Alright, then I'm assuming you came back to Hau'oli City find me, correct?"

"Well, kinda, yeah. This fella was sniffing the ground to try and track you, eventually, she found you in front of the Malasada Bakery." The white haired male said, petting the top of Yamper's head while she was climbing his leg.

Then, 2 things at once hit (Y/n), she forgot to give a Malasada to both Guzma and Yamper. The other one was the man that suddenly pulled (Y/n) aside and asked her questions about Guzma. She didn't wanna talk about it yet, but maybe after they had some Malasadas. (Y/n) pulled out a Malasada and gave it to Guzma, which he took happily.

"Thanks... I guess. You really didn't have to get me Malasadas." Guzma said, taking a bite out of his Malasada as he sat down on the grassy ground.

"Come on, I'm paying you back for finding Yamper." (Y/n) said with a smile on her face as she also sat down, giving a Malasada to Yamper and herself.

"It was nothing, really. I just saw him—"

"Her." The female corrected, while smirking a little.

"I just saw her running in the opposite direction." The male finished his sentence, as well as finishing his Malasada.

"Well, think of it as a thank you, then." The (h/c) female said, giving the rest of Malasadas to the white haired male.

"Another question, if you don't mind."

"Lay it on me." Guzma told her, while eating another Malasada.

"The questions that man asked me, did you use to hurt people?" The female asked, her voice getting a little soft when she asked the question.

The male almost choked on his Malasada that he was eating when he heard the female ask him that.

"No, no, no, I-I didn't do that... Look, y-you wouldn't understand my past." Guzma said, looking away from (Y/n) and Yamper. "I'm gonna ask you a question. Do you know who I really am?" He asked the same question again.

(Y/n) hesitated a bit, then shook her head at the question given to her. Guzma was so confused and surprised when (Y/n) didn't know who he was. Then he had to tell her the truth, then anger just shot out of him for no reason.

"Look, (Y/n), I was fucking Team Skull's boss, that's why everyone was looking at me, avoiding me, and talking shit about me!" Guzma shouted as he turned to look at the girl, looking intimidating than he use to.

(Y/n) flinched from both the sudden shouting and the swearing. She kinda shrunk in her spot, feeling scared and felt like she got in trouble, causing her to tear up a little. She looked down, trying to keep her composure. Yamper started growling at Guzma after his sudden outburst, causing her to be real protective over (Y/n). The male stood up and before he could continue his rant, he noticed the girl's shaking figure on the ground. When he was gonna comfort her, Yamper stood in front of the female and growled at him. Guzma sighed and sat back down, collecting his thoughts before he could say anything.

"I'm... I'm sorry for going off like that... I just had a terrible past." Said Guzma, giving a few Pokébeans to the electric type Pokémon in front of (Y/n), causing them to calm down and enjoy eating them.

The girl was still shaken up and scared to speak, so she stayed quiet until she felt comfortable again to say something. While staying in silence, Guzma had a bunch of questions in his head to ask (Y/n), but waited until she was ready to speak again.

"Almost everyone had a terrible past. It's what makes them a better person today..." the (h/c) haired female said, after a few minutes had passed by.

The white haired male jumped a little when he heard her speak, causing him to look at her. He felt bad about yelling at her, but he didn't wanna show it, yet. Guzma rubbed his neck, then nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah, it does make people better today and in the future." And with that, he wrapped his arm around the fragile girl next to him and pulled her close.

Ok, maybe the ending of this chapter sounded cheesey and sounded like I ran out of ideas- which is true because I really did and should've ended it where Guzma started yelling. I should've listened to my friend but guess I didn;t ;w;. Anyways, I was making Guzma a Tsundere in the beginning, but I guess in this chapter, he's already showing his good side. I'm really terrible at writing Tsundere related things, but hey, practice makes progress, right? So in the next chapter, I plan on writing more about Guzma's past and I wanna change it up a bit. Also, (y/n) will be meeting her next Pokémon, which is Rowlet! Excited? I sure am! So if you guys want, leave some ideas in the comments & I'll reply to them! If there's any mistakes, typos, or grammar mistakes, plz let me know so I can fix it. Thx for reading!
