I've been rewatching XY/XYZ and thought of a cool idea. What would ya guys say if I wrote drabbles between the episodes, exploring what goes on between them and 'behind the scenes' in Satoshi and Citron's relationship?

Nothing full length, but drabble long chapters (okay, sometimes longer), that stick mostly to canon, but with my own twists owo. I wanted something more manageable so i can update more often.

ON A SEPERATE NOTE: im placing their ages here at 12-13, due to how their designs are drawn in XY/XYZ, the fact that they were never canonly stated in the XY/XYZ series and their approximate heights compared to Meyer (who compared to blazekin is 6ft tall). So boom, 12-13.

Welp, heres chapter one! OWO (taking place between episodes 1 and 2)

Chapter 1:

—–Citron's POV—

This is insane..

Citron thought to himself, desperately trying to keep his sister and the trainer in his sights, their shapes slowly becoming a blur as they got further and further away. How the heck was it possible they could go up hill so easily? He couldn't possibly be this weak, right? The inventor gnawed the inside of his cheek bitterly, making a note to himself to make some sort of leg-enhancing boots once this whole ordeal was figured out.

Nevertheless, he followed, panting with the overbearing weight of two other backpacks strapped across his body.

"Onii-chan! Hurry up! You're so slow!" Eureka's voice echoed down the city's stone streets all too loudly, sending another wave of shame through his chest.

I know that, geez..

"Y-you and Satoshi go ahead!" At this point there was really no hope of keeping up with them. Keromatsu needed urgent care, that much was obvious. A starter water type couldn't possibly take an electroball that strong and not be in critical condition. He heard a shouted 'I'm sorry, Citron!', before Satoshi and Eureka took off, completely abandoning him.

".."

The blond hung his head, lungs burning and legs aching, letting his body run on auto-pilot as his brain distracted him, running over the events of the last hour. A thick weight fell into the pit of his stomach, dread starting to sink in as he calculated the potential damage.

They had to get there in time.. Satoshi would get them there in time..

Who could do that to a pokemon? Battling was one thing, but battling with the intent to seriously harm and steal another's pokemon was so.. messed up..

And from what he could gather, those guys followed Satoshi here. How long had he been dealing with 'the rocket gang'? or whatever their name was.. had they really followed him thousands of miles from the other side of the globe for a pikachu?

Battling the duo, he knew something was special, but was it worth all that effort?

Regardless, whatever their reason was, the trainer seemed to be more so annoyed by their presence, rather than actually worried or afraid. Maybe fed up was the appropriate word?

Citron paused, bending over with his hands on his knees to catch his breathe. There was still a few more blocks before Professor Sycamore's lab, it wouldn't do anyone any good if he passed out now. After a moment, he started again.

".."

Yet despite all this.. he couldn't deny the adrenaline rushing through his veins, the guilty spark of excitement that this boy had brought into their boring morning. It wasn't exactly everyday that you save someone defenestrated from your gym, battle with a new pokemon and take on a group of thugs.

And horubii had done so well, the gentle warmth that his pocket emitted served as a comfort, knowing that atleast one of his friend's was safe. How were his other pokemon?.. back at Prism Tower, he could only hope that Citroid was taking care of their wellbeing. It'd been weeks since theyd been locked out.

Floating between Miare's three pokecentres and not really having a home was getting exhausting.

Maybe..

He shook his head violently, chasing out the flicker of a thought- he'd come back to it later. For now, he had to focus on the task at hand, assuring that Keromatsu was safe.

—-(Satoshi's POV)—–

"Think he'll be okay back there?" Satoshi panted briefly, hiking the frog pokemon higher into his arms. At his side, Eureka kept up easily, surprisingly fast for someone her age.

"Onii-chan? Yeah. He needs the exercise anyway." She commented nonchalantly.

The trainer glanced up his shoulder, seeking confirmation from Pikachu. The mouse nodded, understanding in his eyes. Satoshi hummed, knowing that his friend was right. Things were going to be okay.

He was no stranger to eventful first days in all his time training. Him and pikachu always seemed to hit the ground running, despite being thrown out of a building within the first ten minutes. Team Rocket was really no surprise either, having come to accept that no matter where he went, theyd be on their tail. Atleast they've seemed to have lightened up since Unova, going back to their goofy cheesy villain selves.

But man, was this getting tiring..

It'd be nice to have a normal journey for once, to have someone he's close to at his side and not be in constant trouble. A tinge of jealousy hit him. Citron and Eureka were lucky this wasn't their day-to-day lives..

Maybe..

No, that kinda thought was useless.

"This way!" Eureka's voice broke him out of his thoughts, following her easily up the stairs and through the front door.

A/N: so! the boys are reviewing a few things, including what theyll do after this 'keromatsu incedent' is taken care of. I also like writing their inner thoughts, and little quirks, like Citron biting the inside of his cheek and Satoshi seeking comfort in pikachu.

my point here, is that i wanted to go episode-by-episode to look into their character and relationship development 3
