"They're gone." Max bent down and tenderly picked up the shaking Pokémon. Her eyes were the prettiest shade of red, like she had jewels for irises. "You're safe now."
"Scor?" Scorbunny looked up and craned her neck. There were still tears in her eyes. "Scorbun?"
"I promise," Max whispered and stroked her fur. "I won't hurt you. I'll protect you."

Max Hickory, son of the Pokémon professor Evelyn Hickory, has been content living as a normal school boy; no traveling, no tournaments, no drama. Despite this, when his partner Cinderace and best friend confesses her love after two years, he drops everything, embarking on a journey to discover what kind of relationship they could forge in a world where Pokémon and humans, despite their bonds, never joined in love.
But never in his wildest dreams could Max have imagined the forces he would discover, the powers he would unlock, or the lives that would rest in his hands. He encounters friends and enemies, both new and old, as he faces against gym leaders, unveils the language of Pokémon, ignites the wrath of an ancient clan, reveals the true potential of Mega Evolution, and stands against an enemy that threatens the balance of life and death itself.
All the while, Max must stay true to the values that have guided him thus far: so long as he holds the power to protect others, it is his responsibility to use it. No matter the cost.
Quick note: Just so you know, this is not a "reader x Pokémon" kind of book, and it's clean too. I just couldn't find that many good and clean Pokémon books (unless it's about Ash) but they're out there. Thanks for reading!

Pokémon: Out of the Woods | A Galar, Unova & Sinnoh Fanfiction
N's son Neptune has long accepted that his own son died in tragic circumstances. So when he gets an unexpected call from a stranger in Galar, claiming that his son is alive and well, he doesn't know what to think. This unidentified man also claims to be a member of the criminal syndicate Cipher. It's suspected that they aided Team Plasma's last revival, but why would even Team Plasma know the location of a baby who supposedly drowned when he was only one week old? Naturally, Neptune and his friends want to find out for themselves, but this is an International Police issue as well as a personal one. They send two promising young officers, Triton and Sam, but that won't be enough. They also enlist the help of a woman from Orre, Heather. She's a bounty hunter, hacker, frighteningly strong Trainer and most importantly, she can see the auras of Shadow Pokémon - which may well be necessary if Team Plasma and Cipher really are working together. Evil teams aren't the only enemies awaiting these young heroes in Galar. Heather thinks she's seen it all. She thinks she's immune to falling in love, but a mysterious and eccentric young man might just prove otherwise... and it might just impact the investigation. Not to mention the appearance of a maniac from 300 years ago... ★★★ CW: Rated mature for language, violence and overcoming abuse. Timeline: 75 years after Pokémon Colosseum, 69 years after Pokémon Black/White, 61 years after Sword/Shield Regions: Galar, Unova, Orre, Sinnoh/Hisui ★★★ This story can be read on its own (all references to the past will be explained), but it is also a sequel. I'd recommend reading my other stories to avoid spoilers and get familiar with the OCs. They're best read in the order they were written: 1. Homecoming 2. Fool's Gold 3. Battle Armour 4. Bloodstone 5. Obsidian 6. Azurite 7. Turquoise 8. This story 9. Mars 10. Mars 2/Hour Before Dawn This story also spoilers parts of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.Complete
