The biggest secret

   “Alright buddy! Let’s find Dani!” But a pause as she took off her coat, Alola was hot and she froze and stared down... a dress in a window, a store window and her heart sunk some. “H-hey Wooloo... N-nobody but Lee and Dani... really know me here, right?”  A HEADBUTT to her ass would land Hop inside where she yelped and walked over to the dress, her fingers ran over the fabric as her heart hammered. “H-hey! How much!?” she demanded.       Now as she searched for her sister, she’d be in a cute sundress as she walked to find SOME CLUE of where her sister might be. 

   She was sobbing quietly in her tent. She held a picture of her brother close as she laid on her sleeping bag and just cried. Such reckless, heart-broken sounds. All the hatred aimed at her brother was affecting her so badly. Nobody... Nobody would ever understand him, not like she did. Nobody was able to see how much PAIN he was always in... for those he couldn’t save... 

           “Lee...!! He does so much for EVERYBODY he meets... He took on that burden of the championship even when... Even when it killed his heart...!! He loves... everybody! B-but he acknowledges... that he’s still HUMAN and... a-as humans... sometimes... we can HARM OTHERS BADLY... If... If we interfere...”         “I... I don’t want him to HURT anymore!!! He’s not safe in Galar because all they see is their CHAMPION and never... just LEE. N-now... he faces THAT!!!”

    “I won’t be silent! I’m not that type of person to let some nasty bully          who doesn’t know shit about a person to say nasty things about my big brother!”

MAINVERSE TAG DUMP;

    She couldn’t help it, a small sob escaped her as she wrapped arms around the older woman, tears falling down her face that she tried so hard to make go away. “Y-you’ve done... nothing to forgive... I just... hate being a burden and unable to help him...”

    How to know the fight between Guzma and Leon have affected Hop BADLY? She slipped up and almost referred to herself as a girl in public. 

     “Yeah, yeah. You’re always safe and come out on top, that’s just who you are. But you’re NOT fighting alone. Your little si- brother isn’t weak and helpless as I once was and I won’t be a burden to you anymore!!”         She’d never be a burden to him or anybody else ever again, “I’m with you. The entire way, Lee!”

     Hop was all but raised by Leon... Their parents were not abusive were highly neglectful. They pushed Leon to take on the Pokémon league and make something of himself. When he become Galar’s “Unbeatable Champion” Hop lay... forgotten, unwanted, not needed... She watched as her brother rose to greater and greater heights, wonder if he even wanted her.        But Hop will always see Lee as not just her big brother, but her best friend, even a father figure. Leon is everything to her. He was forced to grow up so fast... Between raising and taking care of her to how Galar treated him forcing to take sponsorship after sponsorship being the FACE of their great league...       Hop saw the WEIGHT OF THE WORLD on her brother’s shoulders and knew... that once more she was weak and useless and couldn’t help Lee with his burden at all. One reason she wants to take his title from him... Is to FREE HIM from the weight he’s been forced to carr since childhood. 

         “YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LEE! WHAT WE’VE BEEN THROUGH FROM THE START! DON’T YOU EVER ACCUSE HIM OF NOT UNDERSTANDING!!!”

         “Before you kidnap my brother to a different region far away from me, you gotta pass the test first! I don’t approve of this union yet!!” 

     “See, see! If you’re ever scared, sad...! Anxious! His cape is like the BEST THING EVER to help you calm down!!” 

 I personally believe Lucario/Riolu is too over-used at this point and I want her to be unique so her token dog Pokémon fits her by being a hyperactive pupper and since Hop is a morning person it had to be the DAWN evolution. I chose Gallade over Gardevoir because Gardevoir is over-used and plus now Hop has a knight to forever protect her.  SALANDIT / SALAZZLE IS THE POKEMON WHO WILL HELP HER COME TO TERMS WITH HERSELF, HER GENDER AND HER SEXUALITY AND WILL EMPOWER HER SO MUCH.  Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss b/c Hop brings so much JOY to all she meets, plus token fairy type, however after she meets the legendary (depending on what the Gloria/Victor I’m writing with chose) Togekiss is exchanged out for the legend and stays at the laboratory with Sonia!  And I don’t think I need to explain Sobble or Wooloo!

      She’s just started to become half-way comfortable wearing a dress around a hotel room before competitions, even though nobody can see it puts her mind at ease before any major battles! It’s a step in the right direction for her! Also see, things mun needs to write about
