to be someone’s treasured possession or to lock up my treasured possession…

Clodsire used Mud Shot!

Lokix used Struggle Bug!

Yeah yeah I know I made a new fic when I have 3 others to work on! At least this one is for everyone's favorite boi! Now enjoy!

Kuki burst into Selene's house surprising her and her mother. 

"Hey Selene! I just got a letter from the new chairman of the Galar pokemon league! A tournament is being held for all the region champions and you're invited!"

Selene ran over to him and read the letter. She had been Alola's champion for a year now and was amazed how quickly it got out of her new status.

"It says I can bring some guests! Do you and professor Burnet want to come with?"

"As much as I want to, we're both needed here. But I know someone who probably would like to go!"

--------------------------------------------------

"Oh hell no!"

"Why not?! Kukui thought you'd like to go!"

Selena followed Guzma as he paced outside Kukui's house. 

"Kukui doesn't know what he's talking about!"

Selene thought for a moment. She has gotten used to reading Guzma, usually he'd be up for something but she had to word it differently or mention something to entice him.

Alright, I'll see if Plumeria, Tupp or Rapp want to come instead."

That got his attention.

"Hold up, you can't just take my crew without me! I'm going!"

Guzma knew he got tricked again when he saw her victorious grin as she hugged him.

"Great! We're leaving in two days!"

--------------------------------------------------

Two days later Selene was stepping out of the plane and into Galar. Plumeria was up front with her while Guzma trailed behind with Tupp and Rapp. Selene saw a young man waiting for her with a sign with her name on it. That must be the guy that invited her.

"I'm guessing you're Leon?"

Leon grinned and held out a hand for her to shake.

"That's me. Welcome to Galar, I'm the new chairman and battle tower owner Leon."

Selene shook his hand and smiled. 

"Thanks! I'm very excited to be here!"

"The opening ceremony is tomorrow so you and your friends have time to unpack and relax. I apologize our champion couldn't be here to greet you as well but she might be in the wild area training her team if you want to meet her."

Guzma perks up at the mention of this wild area and steps closer so he's at Selene's other side.

"What's this about a wild area?"

Leon turned to look at him with a grin.

"It's a vast area on the edge of this town. It's full of wild Pokemon and most trainers go there to train, camp or find Pokemon for their team. You're welcome to explore it though I'd caution that since you're here in Hammerlocke, the nearby Pokemon are tougher than the rest in the wild area. I'd suggest taking a corviknight taxi to Motostoke where the wild area is much easier."

"Yo! You calling are boss weak?!"

"Are boss could beat you no problem!"

"I thought I told you dolts I'm not your boss anymore!"

Plumeria rolled her eyes and waved to get Leon's attention.

"Don't mind them. Kukui said you could update her Dex for Galar pokemon right?"

Leon nodded and Selene passed her rotom Dex to him to update.

"There we go, please enjoy your stay and see you tomorrow!"

He gave her Dex back and waved goodbye to her before making his way to the next terminal to catch the Sinnoh flight landing. Plumeria looked over at the group while placing a hand on Selene's shoulder.

"We'll make our way to the hotel and unpack if you want to go to this wild area. Just remember the hotel is Rose of the Rondelands in Wydon"

Guzma grinned slightly, Plume knew all too well that he wanted to see what bug Pokemon were in this new region.

"Alright Plume, take care of the squirt and we'll be back later."

Plumeria and Selene left to use a taxi while Guzma along with Tupp and Rapp wandered into the city until they found the entrance to the town and wild area. Guzma whistled as he looked out into the vast area. This was definitely not like Alola. Tupp and Rapp ran past him, ready to go searching for Pokemon when they were grabbed by the back of their shirt collars by Guzma.

"What do you two think you're doing?"

Tupp looked at Rapp and then back at Guzma.

"Uh, going to look for pokemon?"

"Don't you remember what that chairman said? This is a tougher area. Don't go running off without me you hear?"

Tupp and Rapp nodded in understanding. Guzma let them go and followed them as they wandered through the nearby grass. Guzma was watching Rapp trying not to scare away a toxel she was planning to catch when Tupp noticed a pokemon den.

"Yo! Check this out!"

Rapp pouted when the toxel ran away and looked over at him with a glare.

"You just scared away that cute pokemon!"

Tupp noticed a shiny rock on the ground and tossed it in to see how deep it was when a column of light shootout.

"Whoa! What is this?"

Guzma had a bad feeling and was about to tell Tupp to move away when Tupp stepped on a loose rock near the edge and fell into the den.

"Tupp!"

Guzma ran over to the edge of the den and looked down. The column of light made it hard to see but he could hear Tupp's voice which was a good sign. Unfortunately he didn't notice Rapp running up until he watched her jump into the den.

"Goddamn it Rapp!"

He couldn't just leave those two in there while he got help. With a groan he jumped into the den, cursing out loud as he fell. What he didn't notice was a young woman had seen the whole thing and followed into the den soon after.

"Are you two stupid?!"

Tupp and Rapp jumped at the sound of Guzma's voice as he landed. Guzma glared at the two who looked terrified. Good, he was pissed.

"I knew you two lacked common sense but this I a whole new level!"

"B-Boss…"

"Did you even think about if you could get out Rapp?"

"Boss…"

"You better hope there's a way out of this place or you two are in deep shit."

"GUZMA!"

"WHAT?!"

Rapp pointed a shaky hand at something behind him and he turned to see a giant flaming pokemon.

"Holy shit what is that?!"

"That's a gigantamax centiskorch."

The three of them looked over at the voice to see a young woman walking over to them.

"I take it you three don't know about raid battles huh?"

Guzma was confused and was about to tell at her but was interrupted by a roar from centiskorch.

"I'd suggest you three send out a Pokemon."

Tupp and Rapp listened and sent out salandit and zubat. Guzma sent out golisopod while the new woman sent out a Milotic. Guzma wasn't expecting her to return her pokemon and the ball to grow large. When Milotic returned, it was as large as the centiskorch.

"Use max geyser Narcissus!"

The Milotic sent out a large torrent of water which hit the centiskorch and almost knocked it out. Guzma had golisopod use razor shell while salandit used venoshock and zubat used bite.

Thanks to Milotic's attack the centiskorch was quickly defeated.Guzma tried to catch it but his pokeball had no effect on it. A larger pokeball then was thrown by the woman which easily caught centiskorch and shrunk back down to a normal sized net ball. The woman picked up the ball and held it out to Guzma. 

"Here. You wanted it right?"

Guzma growled and slapped the ball out of her hand.

"I don't need your help!"

The woman raised an eyebrow at him.

"Alright, have fun getting out."

She tossed a pokeball and released her corviknight before looking over at Tupp and Rapp.

"Would you two like a ride up?"

The two nodded and climbed up on the corviknight which shocked Guzma.

"Hey! What about me?!"

The woman looked back at him with a smirk.

"I thought you said you didn't need help?"

Guzma grumbled as corviknight took off. Before he even knew what was going on, corviknight grabbed his shoulders with their talons and lifted him up and out of the den. Corviknight dropped Guzma before landing and letting the rest off.

Tupp and Rapp were looking at the woman with amazement as she returned corviknight to their ball.

"You were so cool sis! Can all pokemon from here do that?!"

The woman laughed at Rapp's enthusiasm and explained to her about dynamaxing and power spots while Guzma stood off to the side with Tupp. His phone went off and he checked to see it was a message from Plumeria.

"Rapp, we're going now."

Rapp looked back at Guzma, slightly disappointed she couldn't talk more but cheered up when the woman passed her the ball with centiskorch and a card that she immediately pocketed. The woman said goodbye to Guzma and Tupp as well and planned to leave when Guzma stopped her with a shout.

"Yo! You never gave us your name!"

The woman looked back at Guzma and smiled.

the cutely pathetic urge to latch onto someone and never ever ever! let go❣️

I hate feeling like everyone I care about will eventually find someone more important and then slowly distance themselves from me💔

how do I make them stay without them hating me.

I can’t stand being alone.

I want to see every side of you until I have you memorized. don’t hide your precious self from me.

when we’re apart, my life might as well be ending
