You're Not That Bad (Paul Fanfic)
*TRIGGER WARNING*
Naomi Levine is your normal 16-year-old girl, she's a Pokemon breeder that travels around the world with her close friends Ash, Brock, and Dawn. You would say she's your normal, lovable, funny, stubborn, outgoing girl but really under all that she's broken and in pain who self-harms and no one knows.
You may not understand why but let's explain, growing up Naomi had no father which she thinks he left because of her and yet her mother said that's not the case, but won't give Naomi the real reason why he left so Naomi just assumed it was because she was born.
But then at age 10, her mother abandoned her and left her in the hands of her grandparents. Well, she grew lonelier and more depressed which caused her to self-harm because she's left with all this pain and loneliness inside so she hides all her pain behind the funny, stubborn girl people think she is...
When she turned 11, her grandparents practically forced her to try and forget about her parents and live her life again so her grandparents had given her their Chikorita to travel with and let's just say it hasn't been easy.
Naomi wanted to give up and turn back at every chance she got, but she knew that her grandparents probably would never let her back in the house so they decided to pull through and that's when Naomi bumped into Ash and Brock and from there they've been traveling ever since and from there Naomi's tried to forget about her past and move on by meeting so many new people and catching so many pokemon...
However, one Rival in particular piqued Naomi's interest and she has no idea why and she tries to deny them as hard as she can but everytime her and Paul argue or he gets on her nerves, there's something about him that Naomi can't ignore...but what happens when team rocket has a plan, traps them both and he notices the scars? Will he care? Will they fall in love? What happens next?
