Corbeau’s Beau

Yall know the drill by now. Harmony is just a placeholder

Previous Post -

Harmony took a deep breath before giving him a weak smile. “What do you mean?”

“You’ve been weird lately, and I want to know why. Was it because…?”

“Oh! Oh no!” She quickly said as she shook her head. Her cheeks pink as she pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I…My father found out about the Rouge Mega Evolutions, and he doesn’t want me here. He said he would send my brother to come and get me, but I don’t want to leave. Not yet.”

Corbeau nodded before pushing his glasses up on his face as a server delivered two cups of coffee and a chocolate croissant for Harmony. The woman across from Corbeau smiled and took the warm pastry into her hand as she torn it into two. Nibbling on one half as she handed the other half to her Pokemon.

“So you’re nervous that they’ll find you and bring you back home,” he said and she nodded.

“I know they mean well, but…I’m an adult. I just need to see this through, and then I’ll be done.”

“Will you stay in Kalos?” Corbeau asked. “Once it’s over?”

“…I want to,” she whispered. “I want to stay. I have so many friends here. People I care about, but I also have people I care about in Johto. But my brother is engaged and my dad is busy at work. So…”

“Where does that leave you?” Corbeau finished for her, causing Harmony to nod. “Have you told them this?”

“My brother and father aren’t…the most considerate of others feelings. My brother is better than my father, but it took his fiancé to literally beat his ass in a pokemon battle multiple times. My dad…He has a one track mind and doesn’t realize he’s done wrong until it’s too late.”

Corbeau hummed as he sipped his coffee. “Do you need me to keep them out of Lumiose? I have some favors to cash in need be.”

“For what price?” She asked.

“Let me take you out to dinner,” he said as he looked at her with calm, golden eyes. Harmony took in a sharp breath as she scanned his face for any type of deception. She couldn’t find any, so she nodded.

“Alright. My brother is the one most likely to get me, so can I give you his name?”

He opened his mouth before his Rotom phone came flying out and Philippe’s voice was heard from the phone. Corbeau sighed before putting his right hand man on mute and looked at Harmony. “Send a message with your brother’s name to Philippe. I’ll go from there. I’ll contact you later with the details for dinner.”

With that, he stood up and recalled his Pokémon back into his ball. He started walking down one of the streets that Harmony still doesn’t know the name of. She looked at him in curiosity as he left before heading out herself.

However, her plans were cut short when Urbain called her saying how Vinnie had information about more rouge mega evolutions. The Johtoian native sighed and started her track towards Hotel Z.

———

Harmony was exhausted and tired from battling three rouge mega evolutions. Her body sore and aching from the bruises of dodging and being hit by attacks. She knew if her family found out she would be dragged back to Johto kicking and screaming.

However, she didn’t have time to pass out in bed. As right now she was being forced to put makeup on to go to this stupid tournament for the SBC. Sure, she’s been to plenty of parties and parties that were pokemon battle tournaments. But never just her being the recipient of the invitation. She was always a plus one for her father.

That’s why she stared at the small little hair clip that had Team Rocket’s ‘R’ on it. The letter was covered in rubies and outlined in black diamonds. She knew she should represent her father, but Team Rocket was well known throughout all the regions. Even when thought disbanded, people feared the crime organization.

Did she want to be feared? The clip was small enough that not many people would see it, but when they did it was easy to tell who she belonged with.

Sighing, she slid the little clip into her hair. Just subtle enough to hide it from sight unless really close to her. She grabbed her clutch that held her Pokemon in it and some credit cards her father gave her and made her way towards the lobby of Hotel Z. Although, when she stepped out the elevator’s she stared at Urbain with annoyance.

“Are you serious? You’re wearing what you always wear!” She hissed while Urbain gave her a sheepish smile.

“If I can’t be who I am, then what’s the point of trying to make friends there?”

“You aren’t there to make friends! You want to promote the Hotel and look like you just rolled out of bed!”

“Thank you!” Naveen was heard from the side. “At least one person here has some common sense!”

In the end, it was futile. If they argued about what Urbain wore then they would be later than what would be considered fashionable. So hailing a taxi, the pair headed towards Hotel Richissime. Urbain saying that Harmony looks beautiful, his cheeks a slight pink shade as he said that. Harmony noticed but only gave him a strained smile and nod. Hoping to get this over and done with so she can go to bed.

Of course, nothing was that easy.

She stepped foot onto the floor where the tournament would be held and her eyes immediately noticed Corbeau. The man having ditched his signature coat and glasses chain and was wearing a maroon tux that color closely resembled that of his Scolipede. His hair slicked back instead of to the side and revealed that both sides of his head had an undercut. His figure much more defined in this suit then with his oversized coat on.

Harmony stopped in her tracks and couldn’t help but grab the first glass of champagne that she saw from a waiter that walked past. Almost drowning the drink in one go.

Of course, Urbain took her nervousness for something else entirely.

“Ugh, him. Don’t worry. I won’t let him get close to you,” he tried to reassure, but that only caused Harmony to roll her eyes.

“I don’t need your protection,” she said, a little snarky before she looked up when Lebanne announced battling would commence in one hours time. Enough time for the guests to mingle and talk amongst themselves. Harmony took that as a chance to slip out onto the balcony and tried to take in a deep breath for fresh air.

“Seems I’m not the only one to want to hide from these,” Corbeau’s smooth voice said as he came up behind Harmony as he pulled out a cigarette and held out the pack for Harmony. The heiress to Team Rocket stared at it before deciding fuck it and taking out. Corbeau smirked and flicked his lighter to light his cigarette, before leaning forward and using the stick to light hers.

“Haven’t been to one of these in years,” Harmony confessed after she took a deep breath of hers. Blowing out the smoke she looked at the battle zones activating for the night.

“Oh? Don’t tell me my favorite little goody two-shoes is a socialite,” Corbeau teased.

“I would love to tell you that, but my dad had connections. Connections that I had to strengthen by being the ‘perfect little princess’,” she snorted with a roll of her eyes. He chuckled as his eyes looked over at her and caught sight of something sparkly in her hair. He tried to lean in closer to see what it was, but she turned to look at him. Her face becoming scarlet when she noticed how close he was. Of course, he started to play it off by flirting.

“Purloin got your tongue again?” He asked with a grin.

“Better a purloin than you,” she huffed, looking away. Corbeau turned her head back towards him as he took her chin with his free hand.

“Who said you could look away?”

“You are a tease.”

“Says the woman who is wearing a dress much better suited for the floor.” Harmony snorted and smacked him on his shoulder. Corbeau chuckled at her flustered state. Spending the one hour they had to themselves before Lebanne found them to say the tournament was starting.

“May the best trainer win,” Corbeau said as he stubbed his cigarette out and headed inside. Harmony chuckling and following after him after a few moments to not seem suspicious.

———

Corbeau recalled the fainted bug type pokemon and gave a smirk. Despite losing, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Harmony. He held out his fist for her and she met it with a bright smile. Her food having changed after defeating him in battle. Jacinthe clapped and said something but Corbeau wasn’t listening. His eyes on Harmony, who was now being pulled to the side by Urbain.

“Pokedollar for your thoughts,” Philippe asked with a knowing smirk. Corbeau scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“You couldn’t afford my thoughts.”

“How can I? When you spend them all on her.” Corbeau sent him a glare and he opened his mouth to snap at his right hand, when there was a commotion heard. A bark was heard before a wild Pokemon entered the room. Staring straight at Harmony.

The woman went tense upon seeing the creature before there was a gasp heard. Revealing Lysandre. The man back from the bed and really different from the last time Corbeau saw him. Lysandre spoke about something and proving oneself to the Pokemon in front of them. But Corbeau still wasn’t listening. Only focusing on the two people in the room he cared for besides Philippe.

Of course, Harmony battled the Pokemon. Letting her Feraligatr take center stage until the pokemon was defeated. Corbeau noticed that during the fight, Lysandre was slipping out and he snapped his fingers. Commanding Philippe silently to follow the man. The larger man nodded and followed after him. Allowing Corbeau to stay and watch Harmony battle Jacinthe.

Of course, she made quick work of that fairy type menace. Defeating her without barely a scratche on her Pokémon and Corbeau wished to congratulate her on winning the tournament and promoting to rank B, but Urbain seemed to want to keep them away from each other as the annoying kid hugged Corbeau’s girl tight and refused to let go.

Harmony looked uncomfortable and tried to pull away, but Urbain didn’t seem to get the hint. He was about to head over there and give the kid a piece of his mind, when his eyes caught sight of a clip on the ground. He bent down and pick it up and froze. The familiar ‘R’ staring back at him. His thumb brushed against the rubies that made up the small clip and he looked up at Harmony.

However, when he did she was gone. Most likely taken back to Hotel Z.

He was tempted to follow her, when he got a message from an unknown number.

For simplicity’s sake, FMC is named Harmony.

Also there will be suggestive themes in this. Nothing explicit but damn does the sexual tension become a lot.

The door opens to Corbeau’s room and she tries not to faint from seeing him. His jacket is off and hanging on the back of a chair. His purple shirt has its sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing tattooed arms that cover his arms and probably much more skin. A trend that was popular is Kanto and Johto for members of Team Rocket. Harmony smiled weakly at him as Corbeau smirks at her. He opens the door more and allows you in before recalling Scolipede back into his pokeball.

“I see you decided to follow Scolipede here.”

“Would I have had the option to decline?”

“You always have a choice, but it seems your choices always leads to me,” he hummed before motioning for her to take a seat on the sofa that was in his room. Heading to his overnight bag and pulling out a bottle of alcohol and two glasses. He held it up and raised a brow and Harmony nodded. He poured two glasses and handed her one. Sipping it first as his eyes seemed to travel up her body. Causing Harmony is become even more over heated.

“You…you said you weren’t done with me?” Harmony asked, sipping at the alcohol and letting it burn down her throat as she looked at him. The smug bastard who was once her bodyguard/friend only chuckled as he moved to sit beside her.

“I’m afraid not. You interest me too much,” He said softly as he sipped at his drink again. “You aren’t afraid of me. Most people who become indebted to the mob are terrified, like your friends downstairs, but when you came into my office, you looked as if I was sales person trying to pitch you something. Then your whole tune changed in an instant. Tell me why?”

Harmony hummed, thinking to herself before deciding to play more with him. He was a smug bastard, thinking he has her right where he wants her, but two can play that game.

“Now, why would I give you the satisfaction in answering that right away? Maybe I like to see you scramble for answers you don’t have,” she said, causing Corbeau’s eyes to widen ever so slightly. The vain in his forehead growing before smoothing out as he looked at her.

“What would you like in exchange for the answers I seek?”

“What makes you think I can be bought?”

“Because sweetheart, if I learned anything in my line of work, it’s that anyone can be bought. Even cute little tourists like yourself. So what do you want? Money? Rare pokemon?…A fun night out?” His eyes bore into hers. Challenging her to prove him wrong, and Harmony’s heart was flipping in her chest as she let out a sigh.

“You couldn’t afford me, Corbeau.” His eyes clouded over with someone that she couldn’t quite place.

“Ever since I’ve moved up in the world, if I want something then I’ll get it. No matter who gets in my way.”

“And yet, here I am. In your way and nothing has happened to me,” she purred as she smirked at him. Trying to make him lose his composure and it was working. He moved over to sit beside her on the sofa. His knee tapping against hers as he grinned at her.

“Last chance to back down. You don’t know what you’re getting into if you force my hand.”

“My father taught me to never backdown without a fight. Especially to those who act as if they have all the cards in their hand,” Harmony breathed, mentioning her father once to see if that caught his attention. If it did or didn’t he didn’t say, but he did take her by her hips and pulled her onto his lap. Having her sit there as she stared at her. Taking a sip of his drink that didn’t spill as his eyes once again moved up and down her body. Harmony let out a squeak of surprise at being manhandled but tried to calm herself despite her skin being bright red from being in his lap. His free hand still holding onto her hip as his thumb massaged it. Playfully pushing her shirt up just enough for her to feel his thumb brush against her skin.

“Sorry, you were speaking so softly I had to get you closer to hear,” he said with a smirk still adorning his handsome features. Leaning back against the couch because if he sat up straight then his face would be in her breasts.

“You’re one smug bastard, aren’t you?” Harmony asked after a moment.

“Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. But I do know one thing…I prefer you here then across me.”

Harmony was internally screaming as she looked down at the smug crime syndicate leader. Her hands on his shoulders as she tried to come up with a witty retort, but she couldn’t. Her mind was barely functioning.

“Purloin got your tongue?” Corbeau asked and she huffed.

“You have me right where you want me. Now what do you plan to do now?”

“I should have you tell me what I want to know, but…” He trailed off as he slid his hand up and under her shirt. His fingers cold against her skin and caused her to shiver. “But I have a feeling it’ll be much more fun to have my way with you before we get to that.”

Harmony let out a small whimper that was captured by his lips. The two getting lost with the other.

Might write a more explicit scene later but right now they fade to black!

Harmony woke up before the sun had even risen in the sky. The daughter of Giovanni covered in hickies and marks from her night with Corbeau. Her eyes turned to look at the Mafia Boss who lay beside her with his tattooed arm wrapped around her waist. His face pressed against her neck as if he was the Arbok be used for battling constricting her. However, she needed to sneak out of his bed before the other members of Team MZ find her here.

So slowly and carefully, she started to pull away from Corbeau. Careful to not jostle him too much as she finally escaped from his grasp and without him waking up. She narrowed her eyes at the ground and tried to grab her clothes that were thrown all around and attempted to get dressed.

She was able to make it to her room and collapsed on the bed. Grumbling about handsome mafia bosses and also clueless mafia bosses as she fell asleep again. Only waking when her alarm went off. She was half tempted to turn it off, when her phone started to ring with the contact phone of her brother showed up.

“…’ello?”

“Harmony! Why do you should like you just woke up?”

“Because I just woke up Silver,” Harmony mumbled, causing Silver to huff and the sound of a woman’s voice laughing in the background. “Is that Lyra? Tell her I said hi and that she needs to rein you in better.”

“Why didn’t dad leave you with those Houndour when you were a baby again?”

“Because someone has to take care of him in his old age.”

“Anyway, want to tell me why I’m getting information that there are apparently rouge mega evolutions happening in Lumiose?” silver asked, cutting to the chase. Harmony tensed up at that.

“Tell me dad doesn’t know.”

“Who do you think told me?”

“Arceau Dammit! I’ll call you back!” She cursed and hung up on her brother. Immediately calling her father. It took a few rings before her father’s voice was heard.

“Hello, my little musical note,” Giovanni greeted. “How is Kalos treating you?”

“Daddy, Silver just called and-“

“Yes. I know of the Rouge Mega Evolutions. What I don’t know is why on Arceus’ Green Earth is why my daughter is tangled up in the mess. I sent you to Kalos to relax. Not play hero,” his stern voice said, causing Harmony to curl up into a ball. Her father was caring and loving towards her, but he didn’t like what he couldn’t control. And this was one of them.

“I…I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing daddy…”

“Yes you can. You weren’t even suppose to stay in Lumiose as long as you have! You were suppose to stay there a week at most! A week! I’m sending your brother there to come and pick you up-“

“No! Please! I swear I can handle it myself daddy! I just need a little more time-“

“Time for what? To be maimed?! To be killed?! Absolutely not! Those other trainers might not care about themselves, but I won’t let anything happen to you! You will be returning to Johto and you-“ he was cut off when Harmony hung up on him. Her body trembling as she realized what she just did. Her father’s face appearing in the screen as he called again, however, she sent it straight to voicemail.

And she did that for the next few days. Avoiding both her brother and father’s calls. She sort of just…existed. Even Team MZ noticed her becoming a shell of her former self.

She was walking with her Feraligatr near Wild Zone 1 when she received a text message. Her Rotom appearing and revealing a message from Corbeau of all people.

‘Meet me at Café Soleil in thirty minutes’

Harmony blinked in surprise. She hasn’t heard from Corbeau since the night they spent together, so why now? Why is he contacting her?

But her curiosity beat out her caution as she started to make her way towards the cafe. Summoning her pokemon in their ball to meet with the crime boss.

Luckily, she made it in just enough time to spare as she found him sitting at a table as his Scolipede was laying at his feet. Tapping away at his rotom phone before looking up upon seeing her. He smiled softly at her.

“I do like a woman who is on time.” That caused Harmony to blush as she smiled. She sat down across from him and let her Feraligatr out. Scolipede sniffed at the water type before laying back down.

“What did you want me for?” Harmony asked hesitantly.

“What? Can’t I ask a woman I find interesting to drink coffee at a cafe?” He asked with a raised brow.

“I’m surprised you still find me interesting. Especially since I left you in the middle of the night.”

“I’ll admit, I was confused, but I understood why you did it. What I want to know is, was that a one time thing?” He asked as he looked at her with a raised brow.

“I…I don’t want it to be.” Corbeau smirked and then took Harmony’s hand in his.

Previous Post-

Corbeau felt that something was wrong as soon as he woke up that morning. His eyes opened fast as he felt a tightness in his chest and a longing he never thought he could feel ever. Immediately, his mind thought of you and how you left him last night. Swallowing a lump in his throat, he grabbed his Rotom and immediately dialed your number.

It went to voicemail.

His hand clenched the Rotom phone and called again. Again, it went to voicemail. His mind racing as he tried to rationalize what was going on. That maybe you were just in the shower, but then his mind would supply a rebuttal.

Corbeau immediately started to get dressed and put together. Although it wasn’t as put together as he would like. He called Philippe as he entered the elevator that led to his penthouse down to his office. His right hand man immediately picking up.

“Boss?”

“Get a car ready to take me to Hotel Z. Now.”

Philippe, the ever loyal man that he was, didn’t question it and by the time Corbeau made it outside a car was waiting for him. He got in and Philippe took off. Corbeau’s Rotom still trying to get into contact with your own. Reaching about twenty calls made by the time he reached Hotel Z. The man barely allowing the car to roll to a stop before jumping out and slamming the door to the hotel open. Startling the inhabitants.

“Where are they?!”

“Good morning to you too,” Naveen greeted, his exhaustion pushing his caution to the wind. “If you’re looking for (you) then they should be in their room.”

“They must have been exhausted,” Lida supplied, slightly nervous being near the crime boss. Corbeau hummed and headed towards the elevator. Slamming the button for the second floor and then the close door button. Tapping his foot on the ground before the rackety elevator stopped and opened its doors. He forced himself to open the door and his frown deepened when the door wasn’t locked.

Corbeau entered the room and paused upon seeing how…pristine it was. The bed made. None of your little nicknacks that you collected. No…you. Only thing were a stack of letters on the table. He picked them up and found the letter with his name on it, and with shaky hands, he opened it.

‘Dear Corbeau,

By the time you’re reading this I’m no longer in Kalos. My tourist visa has expired and I have to return to my home region. I’m sure you’re mad at me for not telling you face to face. Letting you think I would be here for much longer, but the truth is…I’m a coward. I couldn’t stand my last week having everyone be sad for my departure. Especially not you.

I love you Corbeau and I understand if you hate me for taking the forwards way out. I’ll be back once I can and hopefully you don’t hate me when I come back. You have my Rotom number and I’ll call once I get back to (your home region).

Forgive me,

(Your Name)’

Corbeau clenched the letter in his hand. Threatening to rip the letter as he scowled at your handwriting. He let out a scream of frustration and grabbed the letters and stormed downstairs. He stormed up the Naveen and Lida and shoved their letters to them.

“They’re gone. They left.”

“W-what? No, they wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye,” Lida tried to say as she ripped open her own letter. Reading it as tears formed in her eyes. Naveen took his and read it. His calm demeanor changing ever so slightly to heartbroken.

“Well they did. And when I get ahold of them I’ll rip them a new one,” Corbeau growled as he handed them the rest of the letters except for Philippe’s. “Make sure the others get their letters. I have someone to find.”

He turned on his heel and made his way to the car. Throwing Philippe’s letter at him as he immediately went back to calling you. Silently vowing to drag you back to Kalos, immigration laws be damned.

————

When you stepped foot into your hometown, you turned on your Rotom Phone. Immediately being bombarded with notifications from missed calls and texts from everyone you left.

Corbeau - 78 missed calls, 25 unread text messages

Emma - 20 missed calls, 10 unread text messages

Mabel - 2 missed calls, 1 unread text messages

Jacinthe - 0 missed calls, 1 unread text message

You took a deep breath and looked at who to call. You know you should call Corbeau, but you didn’t want to hear his disappointment. Jacinthe could be the next one, but she would hold it over Corbeau’s head that you called her first. Tarragon was your third option, because he reminded you of your grandfather. He wouldn’t judge you for leaving like you did.

Your thumb pressed Tarragon’s number and you let it ring. Immediately, he answered.

“(Your Name), is that you?” The old man’s voice asked gently and you could barely hold back a sob as you heard his voice.

“Y-yeah, it’s me. I’m back in (your home region)…Is everyone mad…?”

“Not…mad…Just, upset,” he said gently. “They wished ya told them. That boy of yours is threatening to go on the first flight to ya region and drag you back if he has to.”

That pulled a chuckle from you because you knew it was true. Corbeau would.

“Are ya safe though?” Tarragon asked. “We were all gettin’ worried since ya never answered our phone calls or messages.”

“Yeah, I just turned off my Rotom when I was in the plane. Just turned it on-“ You were cut off when you heard a familiar female voice in the background.

“Gramps?! Is that (your name)?! Gimme that!” Canari asked as Tarragone seemingly handed the Rotom over and Canari’s voice was heard. “You! Do you know how worried we all are?! Saying goodbye in letters?! I should join Corbeau and drag you back here!”

You smiled at Canari’s rant as you entered your parents old home. Closing the door behind you as you found the couch and collapsed on top of it. Canari’s voice still ranting and raving about how you left.

“…Canari…?” You cut her off with a small voice.

She stopped immediately before taking a deep breath to calm down. “Yeah?”

“Thank you. For being my friend.”

“…Why does that sound like a goodbye?”

“…Just…thank you,” you whispered softly before hanging up. You stared up at the ceiling before sighing loudly. You know that would bite you in the butt, but you needed a moment to collect your thoughts. Your phone stared ringing again but you turned it over and put it on silent. Exhaustion hitting you before you fell asleep.

———

Canari called them all to Racine Construction. Well, Tarragone did. His granddaughter in a state of shock and fear as she hugged her Electross.

“What’s going on,” Corbeau asked as soon as all of your friends gathered together. His annoyance level high as he still couldn’t get into contact with you.

“(your name) called us,” Tarragone stated, cutting to the chase. Everyone stared in shock before immediately asking for answers. Gwynn going over to Canari and placing a hand on the electric type trainers shoulder. “They asked if we were mad, and then when talking to Canari, they thanked her for being their friend…and when Canari asked if it was goodbye, all they did was repeat themselves and then hung up.”

Everyone was tense. That explains why Canari was upset. They would be as well.

Corbeau was cold all over. His body tense and terrified. Wondering if your goodbye was that. A goodbye and that he would never see you again. Taking a deep breath, he looked at Philippe.

For those who have your pc as someone not originally from Kalos - this if for yall

You woke up one day to a message on your rotor phone that your tourist visa is almost up. That you’re supposed to be out the region in a week. You didn’t realize it was so soon too. After everything with Mega Angie and the Rouge Mega Evolutions finally settling down, you didn’t remember you were only here for a few months.

You didn’t want to leave your friends that you’ve met and made connections to, but you had not choice. In one week you had to be out of Kalos. You had to make a decision. Do you tell everyone that you’ve befriended that you’re leaving? But you didn’t want your last week in Kalos to be brought down by everyone being sad. Especially not Corbeau.

During the last few months, your romance with Corbeau was a whirlwind and you couldn’t stand the thought of leaving him. Would he try and find a way to keep you in Kalos? Yes. Yes he would, but would it be entirely legal? Well, not particularly.

So you made up a decision. You weren’t going to tell anyone that you had to leave. You would act normal with them and write them all letters to be delivered once you were out of Kalos and back to (select whatever region you want).

Before anyone was up, you got paper and envelopes to start writing your letters. To Ivor. To Lida. To Canari. To Corbeau. To everyone.

Day One consists of finalizing the letters to everyone and hanging out with Team MZ. Battling them. Listening to their daily lives. Even dealing with Urbain’s/Taunie’s Crossant Curry for that night.

Day Two consists of you heading to the Fist of Justice Dojo to battle Ivor, Gwynn, and their students. Laughing at Ivor’s muscleheaded behavior and Gwynn’s fondness for her brother while also being annoyed with him.

Day Three was hanging out with Canari and Tarragon. Playing games with the streamer and running through the obstacle courses Terragon set up. Laughing and battling. The thought of you leaving this squeezing at your heart because they won’t realize that this would be the last day to be with them all.

Day Four is spent with Jacinthe and Lebanne. Drinking tea while Jacinthe tells you all of the gossip she’s heard throughout the city. Her eyes knowing and not revealing anything. Only when the day is over does the socialite give you a large hug as if she knows this is goodbye. Lebanne smiled and told you she would be honored to battle you again. Of course you mop the floor with her, but she seems content.

Day Five is with Emma and surprisingly Mabel. Emma telling you how she’s been ever so busy with cases because of all the good work you’ve done. How you’ve made her a household name and how she owes a lot to you. Unfortunately your day with her is cut short when she gets a lead on a case. So you head to the Pokemon research lab and talk with Mabel.

“So you’re leaving, huh?” Mabel asks sadly before sighing. “a shame. You were the best research assistant I had, but I expect you to come back some day.”

How she knew you were leaving you don’t know, but the pain in your throat as you held back tears caused you to nod and the former Team Flare member to hug you. Letting your silent tears stain her lab coat as she smiled softly.

“Be safe out there kid. You know you have a home here in Lumoise if need be.”

Day Six is with Grisham and Griselle. Talking about their new hopes for the future and how they plan to achieve it. How they are happy you gave them the chance to fulfill their dream without even beating you. You smile and wish them luck. That if they ever need you, then you’ll come.

The final day before your departure is spent with the Rust Syndicate. You make sweet treats for the grunts, who all flock to you. Eager to get a treat from the Boss’ significant other. Of course, Philippe comes down and saves you from the swarm. Laughing at your overwhelmed face.

“Should have warned you the grunts can be vicious when it comes to dessert. Come, let’s go and take you to the boss.”

You nod and thank the right hand man for saving you. You smile sadly at the thought of not seeing him again for a long while, but your sad smile turns bright upon seeing Corbeau. Corbeau, who also brightens up upon seeing you. Who immediately pulls you into his lap and buries his face into your shoulder. As if you’re his battery and he needs a recharge.

Scolipede and the rest of Corbeau’s team is out of their pokeballs. All eager to see you and try to ambush you like the grunts. Of course, a whistle from Corbeau gets them to calm down as you chuckle. Saying how his team are as attached to you as he is to you. He frowns (read as pout) at your observation but says nothing while Philippe tries to hold back his laughter. You sit in his lap as he does syndicate work. Letting him take you out for lunch and dinner. He begs you to spend the night, but you only smile and say you have responsibilities to handle and that he’ll have you all to himself when you can. That seems to hold him over and he allows you to leave. None the wiser you won’t be in his city tomorrow.

You set your alarm for way earlier than is normal. You spent all night packing and you’re exhausted. The battle zones are still up but you start your day anyway. You set the letters you wrote everyone on the rest you found the Lucario AZ gave you and rubbed the tears from your eyes. You grabbed the same bag that was stolen from you one Day One of your adventure in Kalos and headed down stairs. You hailed as taxi and told them to take you to the Gare de Lumiose as you bought the first ticket out of the city.

Also Harmony is just a placeholder name for simplicity’s sake. You can switch out the name with any name if you want.

First thing in Harmony’s mind is how attractive Corbeau was. Second thing was - ‘I should totally mess with him as revenge’

Harmony does the tasks that he asks of her. Not revealing who she was just yet but she can’t help but find it cute how he acts all big and bag, but she can’t help but see how cute he is. How he just wants to keep Lumiose safe despite doing less than legal means. Despite her father’s teachings, he’s still as sweet and caring as he was when he was her bodyguard.

Of course, it all comes ahead when it’s time for her promotion match and he’s her opponent. He’s smug when he sees that notification and the way his lips turned into a smirk has her heart do a flip like a Seel performing for others.

Of course, she starts the battle and she sees the little manic way his eyes light up when he’s battling against hers. He’s trying to hide a smile as he commands his pokemon to fight with all they got, but in the end, even his Ace is no chance against Harmony.

He gifts Harmony the TM and holds his hand out for a fist bump. All standard issue.

As he walks away, he pauses, causing Harmony to pause as well.

“Though, I don’t think I’m quite done with you yet. I’ll see you at Hotel Z.”

Harmony is glad her face was hidden from his view, because it was as hot as a Charmander’s flame. Her heart beating against her chest at his words and how it made her dizzy.

Harmony, curious on what that means, heads to the hotel. Disappointed when she doesn’t see him. So disappointed that even the rest of Team MZ notices and mentions it. She just brushes it off and says she was trying to catch a pokemon and lost it.

“Hello, hello! Anyone here?”

Harmony almost chokes on the crossant curry as she hears his voice. Everyone else runs to greet the ‘guest’ while Harmony takes her time. Taking a deep breath as she exited the dining room and sees Corbeau. Immediately, the mob boss notices hers and couldn’t help but smirk. Saying he would like a room. Everyone is nervous, except for Harmony.

He starts the process of checking in despite only having a carry on bag. He mentions a rumor of how AZ is over 3000 years old but Harmony doesn’t care. Only focusing on him and he seems to know.

“Occupation…? I’ll just put down ‘handyman’.”

That pulled a snort from her. Just like the time her father mentioned he was a ‘trash collector’ with a smug grin in his face. Seems all mob bosses were the same.

Corbeau retires for the night. Heading to his room on the top floor. It’s only when the doors close that everyone lets out a sigh of relief. Mentioning how scary he is, and Harmony then wonders how they would all react to her father. Considering he is much more terrifying than Corbeau.

For simplicity’s sake imma call the FMC Harmony

So it’s mentioned by Corbeau that he was raised by a man from Kanto who came to Kalos for business

What if he had a young daughter - Harmony - with him. Giovanni made one of Corbeau’s first jobs to protect his daughter. His princess and Corbeau does. I imagine in this scene Harmony is like 5 years younger than Corbeau. Of course, wanting to prove himself, he agrees and does a wonderful job. Harmony gains a friend and refuses to leave Corbeau while he’s with her and Corbeau grows fond of Harmony.

Unfortunately, Giovanni has to return to Kanto and has to take Harmony with him. She’s upset and sad she’ll have to leave her friend, but Corbeau promises that they’ll see each other again. That gets the young girl to smile again and keeps that promise close to her heart. However, because of life happening years pass and they lose contact.

Fast Forward to the events of PLZA

Giovanni finally agrees to allow Harmony to travel to Kalos alone. Of course, in her mind she’s excited to find Corbeau again but her bag gets stolen and she’s staying at a hotel her father would rather burn to the ground then stay at.

Harmony gets wrapped into the Rouge Mega Evolutions and finding Corbeau is pushed to the back of her mind. Then Urbain, her friend whom she wants to strangle, gets involved with the local crime syndicate. Her, being the daughter of Giovanni, won’t allow her friend to be bullied but some crime syndicate she hasn’t even heard of. So she heads down there with Lida and beats the grunts and Phillipe in a Pokémon battle.
