The Core Of Myself (elite four rika x fem!oc)

As far as Rhythmi is concerned, she's got no future to head for.

Her Kalosian adventure went up in flames and now her mother has moved them off to Paldea to join her somewhat-estranged father at some 'Naranja Academy'. At 19 years old, she has no interest in going back to school but has no choice in the matter, not when she can tell how her mother is worrying about her. She, at least, doesn't have to resort to ditching class when release comes quick in the form of this 'treasure hunt'.

She's got her options laid out ahead of her now, a whole sprawling new region ... but a green-haired elite four member that Rhythmi keeps running into is really throwing a spanner in the works.
