That's My Girl

11

A/N: This Fan Fiction is based on the Galar region and games (Sword/Shield) featuring CanonXOC It is based on the GAMES not the anime/manga. And to clarify confusion (because I know I have written multiple fic based on these games XD ) This is a completely different and separate story from the other Sword/Shield fics I have written. They are not connected and they do not interract.

Leon hovered over Nouii's bed a while. He made it a routine to check upon her sleeping frame every morning...to study her, and ponder out different ideas and tactics he could use to help the two of them grow closer and bond. He wanted to forge an unshakable bond with the girl...however, this morning she had an extra guest in her bed...

He blinked a few times before sending shifty eyes towards Hop's untouched cot. Blinked a few times more before shifting them back to the bulky mass within the bed he bought specifically for Nouii only...

However it now held not only her sleeping body...but the body of his sleeping brother sprawled within the linens as well. Kalia stood agape at the situations, hand over mouth, cupped so as to block out the sound of her gasp not to wake them.

"...Oh dear..." she whispered softly.

"...Part of me wants to be angry." said Leon as he folded his arms, "...Part of me wants to scold that little brother of mine for breaking the deal we had made..."

Not that what they were doing was anything of inpropriety...

Still it was the principle of the matter!

"But...there's also another part of me..." Leon mumbled.

"And what part would that be?" questioned Kalia.

There was another silence here...

But then...in one swift motion...

Leon flashed out his Rotom Phone and began clicking away multiple pictures with its camera function. He shot away at different angles while Kalia stifled back her laughter as much as she could.

"You're gonna send me a copy too, right?" she whispered.

"I promise~" Leon chuckled shooting her a grin.

"Still though..." Kalia sighed, "They are at...that age Lee..." she said softly, "Should we not be a little concerned here?"

"Naah." said Leon, "I wager it's more innocent than we are making it out to be." he stated.

"Oh? How so?" she blinked.

"Simple." said Lee, "I deduce that both of them are just as exciteable as each other...so the chances are...they probably just couldn't sleep." he stated, "So as such, Hop probably crawled into her bed so the two could chat more quietly...and then they spent the night watching videos on Hop's phone." he declared, "Exhibit A." he pointed, "Hop is holding his phone in one hand that is casually sprawled over his chest, while his other arm is sprawled over Nouii, who is snuggled in rather closely...probably so she could see as they shared his screen." he stated, "it got late...so they just passed out like that."

Kalia blinked with wide eyes.

"You really do have sharp eyes, don't you?" she asked.

"They look snug, don't they?" Leon chuckled," Anyway...I've got to get going now..." he said softly with his hands resting on her shoulders, "Make sure they don't miss their train, okay?"

"All right..." She nodded softly blushing back her lavender hair and smiled. Her eyes shone at a brilliant blue green...While Nouii looked a lot like her mother, she got her eyes from her dad.

"I take it you're going to take Charizard, then?"

"I usually do." he stated.

"Be careful, Lee..." she said softly, "And don't get lost."

"Ahhh, Et Tu, Kalia~!? " He chuckled before tilting her chin up with a gentle brush of his finger and stealing away a fluttering kiss, that somehow always took her breath away...

"Ciao, Love~" he smiled.

XXXXX

"Ah-HA! I TOLD you I'd beat you to the station~" Hop beamed as he jumped around victoriously through the Wedgehurst Station gate.

"I keep telling you!" Nouii huffed, "You can't dash 10 Kilometers ahead and then declare a race!"

"Whatever, you're just a sore loser!" he laughed.

"Slow it down, you two!"

"Ah?" Hop was startled by the voice a woman that sounded from behind Kalia, who stepped aside to reveal Hop's mother.

"What are you doing here, Mum?" he asked

"I knew this day was coming since the moment you chose your partner Poke'mon, darling." she smiled.

Kalia nodded.

"It took some heavy convincing...but Lee had to talk me into letting go as well..." Kalia sighed, "It truly was inevitable...I knew it..." she blinked, "But that doesn't make it any easier..."

"Aww...Mom~" Nouii sighed, "I bet you would have reacted the same if it were the Island Challenge, right?"

"You're darn right I would!"

Nouii giggled.

"Just think how lucky you are, mum~" Hop chimed, "Mother to the first pair of Champion Brothers~ And worry not, Nouii's mum!" Hop beamed as he threw his arms around the girl beside him, "As Future champ I'll keep a close eye on Nouii!" he stated, "Being Mum to Runner-Up isn't so bad either!" he winked.

"The score board is 1-0, Hop." Nouii stated point blank, "Remember that."

He twitched a bit while the two mothers giggled together.

"Do have fun..." Kalia said softly, "And take care of each other, okay?"

"You can count on it!" said Hop, "There are so many brilliant trainers and Poke'mon waiting ahead of us!" he stated, "My excitement is running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Nouii!" he beamed.

"Well then we better go catch it!" she giggled, "Bye~" the two waved together while they hopped the train and quickly made their way into a pair of seats across from each other, sharing a table as each tapped their foot along with Anticipation. Hop grew over excited as he went on and on about Motostoke and the wild area...also sharing with her some simply curry recipes when suddenly The Train came to a sudden halt.

"What was that!?" Hop gasped, "Come on Nouii...let's go check it out!"

"Okay..." She nodded and hurried along at his heel as they deboarded at a station that...wasn't in their destination plans...

"This isn't Motostoke Station..." Hop mumbled.

"Really?" Nouii blinked. She was new to Galar so...she didn't exactly know what or where Motostoke was...but according to her Rotom map...Hop was right.

"Oi! Station Master!" Hop called out, "This is the Wild Area, yeah?"

"The Wild what!?"" Nouii pondered a bit as she tried to remember what Hop told her about the Wild Area during their train Ride Chatter.

The wild area was a massive area where many different types of Poke'mon free roamed. It was the one place to go to for grinding level training as well as if you planned on building an incredibly strong team...

According to Hop, anyway.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I know this train was meant to stop at Motostoke..." said the Station Master, "But I am afraid we have been halted due to a flock of Wooloo on the tracks..."

"What's to be sorry for?" Hop questioned, "This is brilliant!"

"I'm sorry, brilliant?" Nouii questioned, "What's so brilliant about not making it to our destination!?" she asked, "Aren't we on a time restraint to make it to Motostoke?"

"Aye, but the Wild Area is MASSIVE!" Hop stated, "There are loads of Wild Poke'mon that live between here and Motostoke- Don't you see?" he beamed, "This is the ideal place to build a brilliant team!"

"But...the time restraint..."

"Oi, look." he stated as he showed her their location on the map function of his Rotom Phone, "See? This wild Area takes us directly to Motostoke." he stated, "So long as we are limber and quick footed- we'll still make it just fine." he shrugged, "Besides...with the Wooloo in the way...there really isn't any other choice in the matter." he stated.

"No...I suppose not." said Nouii. "Well...all right then." she stated, "I guess it's time to roam through where the wild beasts are~" she smirked.
