Chapter Two-SouryuuShipping (Hilbert x Iris)

Iris-13

Hilbert-14

A/N-AU as Iris moves to Opelucid City with Drayden as in the manga but I altered it a bit so that the S. S. Aqua would go to Driftveil City in Unova instead of Vermillion City in Kanto. No pokemon exists in this as well.

"Moving across the country sucks big time," Iris thought as she leaned against the railing. The thirteen-year-old was currently on a ship leaving Olivine City in Johto and heading to the port city of Driftveil City with her adopted grandfather Drayden back to Drayden's hometown, Opelucid City in Unova. Leaving Blackthorn City was the hardest thing she ever had to do. The brown-skinned girl then snorted in a surprisingly cynical way that would be considered unbecoming for a pre-adolescent such as herself. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Drayden.

"Cheer up Iris. Opelucid City will be a great experience for you," Drayden said in a reassuring manner though his thick mustache that covered most of his mouth (and jaw for that manner). Iris had a great respect for the elder man, who took her in a few years ago while he was living in Blackthorn City.

"I know but I won't know anybody there in Opelucid City," Iris said before crossing her arms over her chest in a petulant manner. She then felt a large hand on top of her violet hair and pouted as Drayden patted the top of her head. More than several hours later, the SS Aqua reached the port city of Driftveil City in Unova. Gathering their things, Drayden and Iris disembarked the ship. After placing their things into a taxi, the duo entered the taxi and drove away. Despite her feelings on moving to Unova, Iris was quite fascinated by the bright colors in the Unova region compared to the more muted surroundings in Johto. It was around four pm that the two finally reached Opelucid City. Iris was amazed by the sights in Opelucid City. Drayden noticed the look of pure awe on Iris's face and chuckled to himself. Thirty minutes later, the two arrived to Drayden's home.

"Iris, you can start taking out your stuff while I go unlock the door," Drayden said. Iris nodded and watched the man walk away before she looked around. The neighborhood that Drayden lived in seemed normal enough in her opinion. Shrugging her shoulders, Iris turned away to start taking her things out of the trunk of the taxi. Just then a ball soared through the air and hit Iris directly on top of her head.

"Owww!" Iris screeched as she held her head in pain. "What the heck was that?!"

"Eh heh, s-sorry about that," an unfamiliar male voice said from behind Iris. Iris whirled around to yell at the person responsible for hitting her but froze in her tracks. Standing there a few feet away was a boy. He had fair skin, brown eyes, and brown hair that fell over his face while curving outward on both sides and stood several inches above her. While his looks can be considered as 'average' at best, to Iris he was the cutest thing she's ever seen (not that she would ever admit it).

"Hey, I think I hit your head pretty hard. Are you okay?" the boy asked as he cautiously place a hand on Iris's shoulder. He didn't know this girl and judging from the look of things, she was new to the neighborhood and wasn't sure how she would react. Iris quickly snapped out of her daydream and a dark red blush appeared on her face though it wasn't noticeable due to her dark brown skin.

"Uh yeah, yeah I'm fine," Iris said.

"So you're new to the neighborhood I see," the nameless boy stated.

"Yeah. My adopted grandfather originally lived here in Opelucid before he moved to Blackthorn City where I'm from," Iris stated.

"You're from Johto? That's so cool," the boy said before sticking his hand out. "I'm Hilbert."

"Iris," Iris said as she shook his hand. Iris then heard Drayden calling her name to get a move on her stuff.

"Eh sorry, but I gotta take my stuff out of the taxi," Iris said.

"That's fine, I have to go home anyways," Hilbert said. "See you around...Iris." He grinned and waved at her before taking off in the opposite direction.

"...Yeah see you," Iris said softly as a blush returned to her face. She had a feeling this neighborhood was about to get a lot more interesting.

Writing about Hilbert x Iris was a lot of fun tbh. Next up is Dawn x Iris broship and after that is Negaishipping. I'm also taking requests on what Iris pairings you want to see next so please let me know in the reviews. Please send me reviews :3
