Hey, guys another Pokemon fanfic but it's based on Sword and Shield! This one is my favorite because the story is a very fresh start with new characters. In this story, Irene's not the main character, nope it's a young Trainer named Hannah! (:
Irene won't be the main character, but she'll make a guest appearance. This story also inspired by the Precure series and many of my favorite anime series. This one you'll notice several references to Precure series. Irene's favorite type is Fairy Pokemon, Hannah's favorite is Fire Pokemon. Hannah loves stars and there's hidden meaning.
Anyway, enjoy the fresh chapter. (:

Episode 1: A New Heroine is Born! Watch Me Change!
"Hello kids, boys, and girls! Kon'nichiwa! That means hello in the Kanto and Johto region!" 7-year old Allie greeted the little audience, companied by her trustworthy Cleffa.
"Cleffa! Clef!" Cleffa added, happily jumping with her Trainer and was excited about the upcoming event.
"Kon'nichiwa!" All the little children greeted back to Allie and Cleffa, full of energy, passion and lots of excitement. Although the audience is only filled with children under 10-year-olds, and not as huge as Leon's fans. All of them have one thing in common, they're a huge fan of Hannah, who's also their big sister.
"Excellent! Everyone's full of energy! One more time everyone!" Allie and Cleffa nodded their head, before turning towards her friends, their audience, and Pokemon. Encouraged them to keep supporting Hannah, but warning them to watch out for Team Yell; an 'evil' organization of the Galar region. "Thank you very much for supporting big sister Hannah! Please keep on supporting big sis!"
Allie, Cleffa, and their friends thanked the audience again, bowing to them once more until Timmy and Elgyem were holding a wand with a pink handle with a red crystal shaped like a heart.
"Before we start the story, we have some very important information to tell you first." 7-year-old Timmy gave some important instructions with his Elgyem holding the glowing wand.
"El, Elgyem!" Elgyem happily showed the glowing wand to the audience before Allie would translate what the Cerebral Pokemon was saying.
"What Elgyem's holding is a Miracle Wand. It's an amazing wand, that allows the crystal to make miracles happen in both Max Raid battles and Gym stadiums." A Miracle Wand was shown close to the audience, causing it to glow bright red. "In addition, if you press the button magical glitters appear to give extra boost!" The rainbow glitters spread magically after pressing the button, causing everyone and the Pokemon to grow awe at the scenery.
"Actually those glitters are from the arts and crafts shop." Timmy blushes, admits that it looks magical and full of miracles.
"Do you have a Miracle Wand?" 7-year-old Kiki asked her friends and audience, holding a Miracle Wand.
"Yeah!" Everyone including the Pokemon; both big and little are holding a Miracle Wand. Bringing it up in the air, causing every wand to glow bright red.
"Golly looks like they all have one!" 8-year-old Jason and his Rookidee happily informed his comrades, who's also holding his Miracle Wand.
"Then here are some pointers, everyone! When Big Sis Hannah is in a pinch, cheer her with your wand! When you all use your wands, an amazing miracle will happen!" Scene changes into a cartoon version of Hannah, with her Scorbunny, knocked on the ground due to her injuries, battling against Milo and his Eldegoss. The next scene shows all of Hannah's fans and their Pokemon lifting their Miracle Wands, causing them to glow and creating an amazing miracle.
"A miracle? What kind of miracle? Will we see Scorbunny Gigantamax?" 8-year-old Kelly was curious, her eyes were sparkling with interest.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Allie whispers to the curious Kelly before Timmy told the audience the important things not to do.
"But, there are some things you shouldn't do while holding a Miracle Wand." Timmy added, turns the scene where 6-year-old Berry looks too closely at the wand, causing her twin sister Cherry to press the button.
"Too bright!"
"Don't look into the light too close!" Allie told the younger audience, turning to the next scene where Cody pulls Henry's Miracle Wand wrapped around his hand. "Don't pull on other people's wand!" Another scene shows Andy swinging his Miracle Wand, only to hit Sunny's head. "Don't swing your wands around! It's too dangerous, so never ever do it!"
"Remember, if you don't have a wand, then cheer for Big Sis Hannah inside your heart, please." Kiki added, encouraging every young audience and friends to cheer for Hannah with all their strength. Suddenly the intro was about to start.
"The story is about to start! Don't forget everyone cheers for big sis Hannah! Go, go Big Sis Hannah!" Allie and Cleffa cheered along with everyone in the audience. "As a bonus, if you buy our Miracle Wands, it even comes with the rarest League Card! Featuring Big Sis Hannah comes in various different styles of glitter!"
"Miracle Wand? Please those cheap arts and crafts won't do anything. Who would buy those lousy toys?" Bede finds this stupid that a group of little kids would believe such a thing.
"Say do you think those Miracle Wands would help boost Marnie win her Gym Challenges?" A male Team Yell grunt asked his group.
"We should buy a lot of those! That way it'll cause her Pokemon to Gigantamax!" A female grunt added, causing Bede's eyes to grow stunned. To his surprise, those Miracle Wands suddenly became extremely popular...
Opening; Go! Princess Precure: Insert Miracle Go! Princess Pretty Cure
Postwick; Hannah's bedroom
A young girl around 11-12 was gazing herself in the mirror, looking at her red eyes and bright skin. She took off her pink hair ribbon, causing her long wavy red hair past the hips fell down, bangs covering her right eye. Leaving her two long locks of red hair reaching past her chest, "Go, go Hannah! In a few days, I'll finally become a Pokemon Trainer and choose my first Pokemon!" Hannah was examining her new outfit, that her mother bought for her Pokemon Journey. A maroon top with three-quarter sleeves, a dark brown vest with diamond patterns and white buttons shaped like stars, dark pink plaid pleated miniskirt, red earrings, black tights and wore Scorbunny themed slippers.
"Go go, Hannah! Today is the day I change myself! I'll catch every Pokemon found in the Galar region and become just like Champion Leon!" Hannah became very determined and serious; gazing herself at the mirror once more, holding a pair of scissors with one hand. On Hannah's desk are pictures and magazines of fashionable Trainers, including the drawings of several haircuts that she had designed and drew. Including magazines featuring Nessa the Gym Leader.
"Hannah breakfast is ready!" Holly calls her daughter upstairs, making breakfast for her family and Pokemon before opening the family restaurant. Holly has long red wavy hair, reaching her ankles with red eyes and bright skin. Her outfit consists of a dark pink top with a brown skirt tied with a yellow apron with red slippers. "Hannah?" Holly was confused, wondering what her daughter was doing?
"I'm going to become a stylish big sister, and cutting those bangs will make me mature! Just like Leon! Go go, Hannah! If Leon can be a great role model, then so can I! I'll even be more stylish like Nessa!" Hannah happily whispers to herself, looking at the mirror and the drawings of haircuts she had designed herself.
"Bye-bye old Hannah! Say hello to stylish big sis Hannah! Today is the day I'm finally going to show my beautiful and mature self!" Hannah cheerfully smiles, eyes sparkling like rubies, excited for her upcoming Pokemon Journey. Hannah uses her scissors with one hand while holding her long bangs before she cuts it off. As the female redhead cuts off her bangs, small bits of red hair fell off on the floor.
"This is looking great, just a little bit more." Hannah cuts her bangs little more, causing more small bits of hair to fall off. "Hmm? Not enough, I think it needs a little more..." As Hannah cuts off the bangs, she realized that it didn't work out as planned! "This isn't good! This isn't good!" Hannah began to panic and tried to cut the bangs more, instead, she ends up cutting it more and made it much shorter. "Ahhh! It's ruined! It didn't match the hairstyle I designed!" Hannah comically gasped with eyes widened as plates, causing everyone in the household to hear her cry.
"I wonder if Hannah has those weird dreams again? Sigh, why can't she be mature just like our eldest sister Mari?" Amary shook her head, wasn't surprised by her older sister Hannah's daily screaming. Sometimes Amary wonders why her older sister always energetic?
"That Hannah, she realized that there are few salon stores just several blocks away?" Nigel wasn't surprised that his granddaughter had been obsessed with being stylish. Especially when Sonia lends her several fashion magazines.
"So Hannah's finally cutting her hair? She's finally becoming stylish." Diane added, proud of her granddaughter for cutting her hair bangs.
Inside the kitchen...
"Hannah are you okay? What's wrong?" 9-year-old Amary was worried about her older sister. She saw Hannah looking down, covering her head and crying with anime tears. Amary has red eyes with medium length red hair, tied in two pigtails and has bright skin. Her daily outfit consists of a turquoise skirt with light green frills with a Poke Ball print, a pink top with frills on the side of each sleeve, she also wearing yellow knee-high socks with light blue slippers.
"I'll never be stylish and mature just like Leon and Nessa. I messed up big time..." Hannah was crying with anime tears, removed her hands, and revealing her short but clean and uneven bangs. "I'm ashamed..." Hannah continued crying causing her sister Amary concerned but amused at the same time.
"You know there's a beauty salon across a few houses. Here I thought Leon is horrible with directions, that he has to ride his Charizard to find his destinations." Amary giggles admit that even the Galarian Champion has some childish side in him causing Hannah to grow annoyed.
"I'm excellent with directions, just horrible at finding my friends' house addresses..." Hannah confesses, remembering the time she couldn't find Hop's house until she realized it's nearby her house.
"You and Leon are so alike, you two would make a great-"
"Amary stop being rude towards your sister!" Holly snapped towards her youngest daughter, interrupted their conversation. "Now Hannah, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Why you look more beautiful with shorter bangs. Today's breakfast is omurice with sausages and warm fluffy pancakes. For dinner, we'll be having my specialty, Galarian Curry with white rice!" Holly finished making breakfast before both the Kantonian and Alolan Ninetales brought the plates to her family. Rolycoly suddenly produced more coals for cooking, before Holly rewarded them with treats.
"I love Galarian Curry! Nobody makes the best curry like you mum! I hope there's fried pork cutlet with extra cheese. I love many different curries, except banana flavor." Hannah suddenly got up and forgotten why she became devastated and depressed. The red-haired girl enjoys her mother's cooking, believes it's superior to Trial Captain Mallow's meals. Hannah took a big bite of her breakfast causing her younger sister to shook her head.
"Oh Hannah, whenever there's a food you always turn cheerful and always get excited about 'mum's cooking." Amary teases her older sister, reminding their usual daily routine. "In fact, you often forgotten about your issues." Amary teases her older sister with her Gossifleur nodding her head. She even recalled the time when Hannah got several low grades on her math exam several years ago, causing their father Kabu to punish her after he found it inside her bag. Kabu was so mad that he punished Hannah by having no sweets.
"Not always, this one was a serious situation!" Hannah pouted, took a big bite of her omurice, looking annoyed towards her little sister.
"You could've gone to the beauty salon across town ya know." Amary sighed, drank her warm cup of milk. "Yet you haven't received a Pokemon from dad?"
"Neither have you Amary! You got yours from Milo instead. Can't believe Milo gave you a Gossifleur last year and I hadn't gotten my first Pokemon..." Hannah mumbling to herself found Amary extremely lucky to have her first Pokemon. Even her eldest sister Marigold got her first Pokemon when she was six! The same goes for Hop, who has his Wooloo before Amary received her Gossifleur.
"Well, I've helped Milo garden the flowers and harvest the fruits and vegetables. After that, Milo gave me a Gossifleur as a thank you present." Amary stuck her tongue out, holding Gossifleur on her lap.
"Girls stop teasing each other and finish your breakfast. Your mother has to open our family restaurant in a couple of hours." Diane the maternal grandmother calmed her two granddaughters.
Diane also has red hair but the darker and medium length that reaches past her shoulders. Diane has red eyes and bright skin, her outfit consists of a white leather jacket with a red top underneath, black pants with golden high-heeled shoes with diamond earrings and a pearl necklace. Despite her age, Diane looks very young, and like Hannah; she too was also very stylish, always wore her sunglasses whenever she's outside. "The restaurant became packed and popular ever since Leon became the Champion. I remembered how adorable and cute his Charizard was when he was a little Charmander." Diane remembered the time when Leon first defeated her husband, who was the former Champion of Galar a few years. "I also remembered how Opal got more wrinkly every year. It's amazing that she still an active Gym Leader in her early nineties."
"That Leon sure has a weird sense of fashion. Kids these days wear too many clothes, just to attract attention and media. I might look young, but I'm also getting older each year." Diane's husband Nigel answered, eating his food. Unlike his lively and energetic family, Nigel believed that one has to be stern in parenting. Nigel has fair skin, brown eyes with short wavy brown hair. He wears a black and blue knit coat over a red collared shirt, black glasses, black pants with brown shoes. Nigel scoffed, reading his newspaper. "When I was young, I take battling more seriously. Leon however quite the opposite, always too overconfident and very childish during battling."
"You're quite a stubborn man dear." Diane teased her husband, dipping her cookies with tea. "Clothing reflects every Trainer's personality and characteristics. The family might be serious over couponing, but we're also serious with fashion. I might be old, but I would always be the 30s in my heart!" Diane laughs causing her husband to sweatdrop the scene. Dear Arceus, Nigel wishes that his whole family was normal. Instead, he's stuck with a family who's too serious with both fashion and couponing 24/7. "Opal, however, is too obnoxious! It's no wonder her second husband left her. She's such a pain in the neck."
"Oh that reminds me, Hannah, I've got several coupons for every bakery in Galar! There's a huge sale of pastries and sweets made with fresh cream produced by Alcremies owned by professional pastry chefs." Holly handed a book filled with bakery coupons to her daughter. Watching his daughter handing those coupons causes Nigel to grew worried.
"All right! When I start my journey, I'm going to use lots and lots of coupons! Thank you for the new clothes mum. I love it! I feel more stylish and passionate!" Hannah beams, admiring her new set of clothes bought by her mother Holly. The red-haired girl was also admiring her matching dark pink hightop shoes with red ribbons that she's wearing, along with a brown scaly cap and her red bag.
"That's what I'm afraid of..." Nigel muttered, fearing what's about to come true; his granddaughter becoming addicted to couponing. Dear Arceus, why can't he have a normal family?
"That reminds me, what happened to Mari?" Hannah noticed that her older sister Mari hadn't been calling her recently. Hannah remembered that Mari was also a close friend with Nessa and Sonia.
"Marigold was fine a few days ago, but lately she's been helping Nessa with fashion modeling." Holly grew concerned about her eldest daughter. Holly noticed that Mari was very busy with a lot of things on her journey. It'll be nice if her eldest daughter calls her... Yesterday she also remembered that Marigold told her mother that Chairman Rose was different. Lately, he's been acting strange and suspicious. "Lately Marigold is busier than Leon..."
"Speaking of busy, I'm planning to see dad at Wedgehurst. Today dad has a few days off from his Gym Challenges. Normally he would train, but it seems that dad wants to celebrate my upcoming Pokemon Journey! Along with my accomplishments." Hannah smirks, assuming that this was her father's reason.
"What accomplishments? All you ever did was daydreaming and always get clumsy." Amary answered, took a big bite of her omurice.
"Well, at least I have fans! They might be little, but I'm the best role model!" Hannah pouted and immediately ate her breakfast, cleaning the plate in five minutes. "Besides Amary, you're going to be late for school if you keep lecturing your lovely big sister." Hannah winks at her younger sister and changed her slippers into her red sandals with jewel patterns. "Bye mum! Bye, grandma! Bye grandpa! I'll see ya later!
"Don't forget to take lots of Max Repels Hannah!" Nigel reminded his granddaughter, reading his daily newspaper.
"I will grandpa! No need to worry!"
Nigel then saw Amary finished her breakfast quickly, grabbed her bag, picked up her Gossifleur before putting on her green shoes, and left the house but not before saying goodbye to her mother and grandparents.
"Oh, Holly when will you tell the kids about the news?" Nigel asked his daughter, wondering if Kabu knows about it.
"I'm saving it as a surprise. I'm planning to tell this to Kabu and the girls during our family dinner. Before he battles Leon." Holly blushes, hugging her tummy, indicating a huge surprise will be revealed soon "Can't wait to tell him I'm carrying a bundle of joy. Kabu would be thrilled!" Hearing this made both Nigel and Diane gaze at their daughter. Weren't sure if the word thrilled fits Kabu perfectly?
Diane and Nigel remembered Kabu's reaction, whenever Holly announced her pregnancy. When Holly was pregnant with Marigold, the Fire-type Gym Leader would faint before battling his next challenger. While the red-haired woman was pregnant with Hannah, her husband nearly choked his dinner, before the semifinals at the Champion Cup would begin. Lastly, when Holly's pregnant with Amary, Kabu overslept and couldn't focus for a few days. Each time his wife announced her pregnancy towards her husband, Kabu's hair slowly turns gray causing him to get wrinkles. But despite that, Kabu loves his children very much and hates discussing romance with them.

"Alright! Onwards to Wedgehurst and meet dad!" Hannah cheered, happily jumped in the air, exiting the house, before she quickly grabbed her red backpack along with lots of Max Repels. "Ah! The smell of a new chapter begins! Look out Galar, there's a new hero in town, and that's Hannah! A stylish and amazing role model!"
"Go go, Hannah!"
Hannah closed her eyes, smelling the fresh breeze coming from Postwick. As the red-haired girl was walking to Wedgehurt, she saw a 7-year-old girl companied by her Cleffa. The little girl has bright skin with auburn colored eyes and medium length wavy auburn hair reaching past her shoulder, with two thick strands of hair styled into twin-like tails. Her outfit consists of a pink rounded short-sleeved shirt with a huge yellow star printed. Attached to her top is a two-layered baby blue skirt. She also wore white knee-length leggings with pink and blue sneakers, along with a red hair clip shaped like a star.
"Hey, Allie! Hey guys!"
"Big sis Hannah, wanna play hide-and-go-seek? This time Bobby is it!" Allie asked her number one hero Hannah if she wanted to play, just like good times.
"Yeah, I'm very excited because Chewy and I are it!" 7-year-old Bobby happily clapped his hands, companied by his Chewtle named Chewy.
"Yes, can you remember how to count to one hundred this time?" 7-year-old Timmy questioned his best friend, knowing how terrible Bobby's counting in numbers.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
What makes Allie really special is she along with her friends, classmates, and Pokemon idolized Hannah who's also their number one big sister. Despite that the majority of Postwick admired Champion Leon, Allie and her friends view Hannah as their number one hero! Although it's a small group, to Allie it's the quality that matters not the quantity.
"No thanks, I'm on a mission; meeting my dad at Wedgehurst. He brought presents for my family." Hannah declines the offer, waving her little friends who're also dedicated fans to their beloved big sis.
"Oh, a mission!" Andy found Hannah more amazing, called her a prodigy.
"Look, Hannah even look gorgeous after cutting those bangs." Jason points at Hannah's hair, noticed that she got herself a makeover.
"Hannah's more amazing than Champion Leon, it's as if she's a Princess." Kiki blushes, admiring Hannah's beauty and style of clothing.
"That's because she is a Princess Kiki! She's Kabu's daughter, plus she's a genius!" Kelly added.
"After we're done, our mission is to make lots of Miracle Wands, using those crystals that we found at the Galar Mines, thanks to my lucky cap." Allie showcased this cool cap that she got recently.
"Allie is that Leon's cap? This one is very special to Leon because it was a gift from his dad before he left on a journey. I think that was after Hop was born." Jason noticed the cap that Allie's wearing belonged to Leon, knowing how much the Champion loves collecting various different caps.
"Golly my older brother told me that Leon's favorite hobbies are collecting caps, reading books and magazines. Plus Leon always goes working out during his spare times." Jason recalls that his older brother who works at the Gym saw the Champion working out; sits on the incline bench press lifting dumbbells.
"Don't worry Leon won't know, he barely comes home! Although big sis Hannah did blushes when she heard that Leon works out at the Gym." Allie points out, remembering how Hannah blushes after Jason's older brother told her an interesting story about Leon. Although, Hop wasn't surprised though.
"Okay you guys better hide, I'm counting! One, four, eleven, forty-"

While the little kids from Postwick are playing hide-and-go-seek, Hannah took out a star-shaped crystal from her vest pocket. "Leon thanks to you, I'm finally going to start my Pokemon Journey soon. I hope we get to battle at the Champion Cup someday. Whether I win or lose, I'll return this gem to you." Hannah blushes, the wind blew her long luscious red hair.
Wedgehurst
When Hannah arrived at Wedgehurst, she noticed there's a lot of Wooloo lately due to mating season this year. It's also where the majority of Trainers and children own a Wooloo of their own. Hannah remembered meeting Hop there when she was five, after transferring from her old school at Motostoke to Postwick.
"I wonder what Leon's like in person? It's amazing that he's Hop's older brother!" Hannah was daydreaming, wondering what it'll be like meeting Leon in person? The red-haired girl admits that Hop always loves to tease her, but they're very close friends and have a sibling-like relationship. "The Champion Cup? I wonder what it's like battling there?"
As Hannah began to daydream, she wonders what it's like battling at the Champion Cup? She remembered watching all of her father's Gym Battles at the Gym Stadium in Motostoke, she even watched all of Nessa's gym battles. Finding Marigold very lucky to be close friends with the Water-type Gym Leader. Does she also wonder what happened to this woman named Violet? Last time Hannah saw the young woman, it was when she was five. Violet gave a red rose to Hannah mentioning it's her husband's favorite flower. Before Hannah continued walking, she felt a strong grip grabbing her arm! Hannah suddenly regained her senses and realized she almost fell to the hills, despite that it's not too high.
"Phew, that was a close one! If I hadn't grabbed you sooner, who knows what'll happen to you. I know your mother won't be thrilled about this."
Hannah turned her head and saw a man wearing the Fire-type Gym uniform. His expression looked stern and serious, similar to her grandfather Nigel. But despite that he's younger than Nigel, the young man has bit wrinkles, with darkish gray hair with bit silver hair getting noticeable. He also has grayish eyes with huge white pupils.
"Dad! I almost couldn't recognize you. Have you gotten depressed again?"
"Is this how you greeted your father young lady?! I did save your life again." Kabu scolds his daughter for judging his appearance and daydreaming without noticing where she's going. "You're great at being stylish but your greatest weakness is daydreaming. I won't be surprised if you daydream during our battle." Kabu's fully aware that his daughter always flunked her exams due to daydreaming in class. He's not sure which is worse? Leon's horrible sense of directions, or Hannah's daydreaming.
Meanwhile...
A girl who's the same age as Hannah was walking in town. She saw lots of people and children at Wedgehurst were watching Gym Leader Melony battling against her son Gordie on the news. She also saw them using their respective Gigantamax Pokemon during their battle. Watching this made the girl uncomfortable, she would rather hide from them than come back home to Circhester, a place where she'd like to forget especially what happened 6-7 years ago.
"It's been around 6 or 7 years since I've run away from home. I can't remember what it's like being inside a comfortable house." A young girl named Crystal whispers to herself, walking by herself and saw several children at Wedgehurst, happily spending time with their parents and elder siblings. Crystal wonders if her mother and older brother believed that she died? She ran away from home when she's five and never returned to Circhester since then.
Crystal has long white hair with icy blue streaks, reaching up to her waist and tied in a ponytail with a white hairband. She has light blue eyes bright as know, with hair skin and wore light blue nail polish on her fingernails. Her outfit consists of a snowflake hairclip, light blue earrings shaped like a snowflake, a simple light blue mini dress, with a darker shade of light blue hoodie and a heart printed, white leggings with blue snowflake patterns, wearing white and icy blue boots with heels with ribbons.
"Snom?" The little Worm Pokemon was on Crystal's shoulder, worried about her Trainer. What makes the little ice worm Pokemon happy is watching Crystal smile. But ever since the incident and her mother's harsh training, Crystal couldn't take this anymore! To Crystal, her mother never understood her feelings! Always babies her, being too strict and harsh. She could see why her older brother always had a fight with their mother. Crystal used to love figure skating until that certain incident, which causes her to lose both confidences and to smile.
"Watching those little children with their parents and elder siblings made me sad. I just can't remember the last time mother gave me kindness? All I ever received were nothing but harsh training. I can't remember the last time I smile..." For a girl who's 11-12, Crystal survived all by herself thanks to the help of her Pokemon. She never stayed at the orphanage and turned down Chairman Rose's help. She even saved a lot of pocket money that later became a lot during those past few years. Crystal would mostly stay at motels, Pokemon Centers, or outside the forest. Crystal never attended school, instead, she spent most of her childhood training and surviving.
"The Champion Cup? I've already got my Endorsement from Chairman Rose, so I'm considering it... But I need to disguise myself if I ever encounter my mother. Maybe use the name Christy, whenever I'm doing Gym battles."
While Crystal was walking through the streets, she heard a young couple and their Indeedees were talking about something or someone? Crystal noticed that they were watching a poster of Leon in his signature pose, with his Charizard soaring through the sky
"Ara?"
"I heard that in a few days, Champion Leon and his Charizard will be arriving in Wedgehurst. It's going to be very intense!" A young male Trainer told his girlfriend, happily holding her waist. "The Champion is not only powerful, but nobody has ever defeated his Charizard! Not even Raihan the Gym Leader."
"Well, I heard that Leon has a younger brother, who's also from Postwick. His brother must be thrilled to see Leon." A young female Trainer added, causing Crystal to grew sad. She then saw two Indeedees; one male and female happily holding hands.
"I wonder who this Leon person is?" Crystal had isolated herself from society for a few years. It's difficult to interact with others, Snom saw her Trainer depressed thinking about her family at Circhester.
Hearing their conversation made Crystal felt nostalgic, thinking about her older brother who loves Rock-type Pokemon, and her mother who adores Ice-type Pokemon. Crystal was the only one who could make her older brother smile, helping him regain his confidence. She couldn't remember the last time she had her mother's home-cooked meal. Crystal gazes upon the evening sky, remembering the time she ran away from home...
Flashback 6-7 years ago at Circhester; Crystal's house
Insert My Hero Academia: Anguish of the Quirkless
"Sniff, sniff, sniff..." Five-year-old Crystal locked herself in her bedroom, crying after what happened during her figure skating performance. Little Crystal has a long ponytail tied in a white hair ribbon, her outfit consists of a light blue sweater top with a white mini skirt, and white socks that come with light blue shoes. Around her neck was a silver locket, containing both pictures of her mother and older brother. Inside her bedroom, both Snom and her Eevee companied their Trainer, saw how devastated and heartbroken she was. Due to her mother's harsh and strict training Crystal couldn't take it anymore. Crystal saw her hands, remembering those harsh and brutal training. Her mother was unaware that Crystal secretly cries inside her bedroom.
"Mommy doesn't understand my feelings! She has no idea how much pain and suffering I'm dealing with!" Little Crystal cried harder, causing her tears to fall down her clothes. Her hands turned into fists.
"Eevee, eve.." Eevee saw Crystal slowly walked towards her mirror, gazing at herself covered in tears and pain.
Then little Crystal pulled off her locket, threw it on the floor, feeling nothing but pain and misery. Angry that her mother babies her, and assumed that her older brother loves his fans more than his own sister! Luckily her mother and brother are at the Champion Cup, unaware that Crystal secretly went home and skipped her skating lessons.
"Snom, Snom" Snom saw Crystal opened her drawer and took out a pair of scissors.
"What does happiness means? Am I happy with my dreams or will I end up like my brother? I'll do something that my older brother couldn't do! I'll run away from home and never come back!" Crystal angrily yelled at herself in the mirror, more tears streaming down her face thinking about those harsh training from her mother.
"I don't care how cruel the world is! I'll find many ways to survive, even if I have to leave this awful place! I don't care if wild Pokemon attack me! I don't care if people are cruel to me! I don't care if neither mommy nor big brother won't find me! I just want to get out of here and leave Galar for good!" Suddenly Crystal turned towards both Snom and Eevee causing them to grow worried. "Because I hate them! I hate mommy! I hate big brother! I hate the new Champion! He's nothing but stupid and crippled! He's only ten and knows nothing but battling! When I have enough money, we'll leave and go to any region, as long it's not Galar!"
Suddenly Crystal did the unthinkable! She pulled her ponytail and cuts it off using her pair of scissors. Eevee and Snom were shocked! Saw both the hair and ribbon fell on the ground, leaving Crystal with short hair. Crystal then opened her closet, took out her winter jacket and her bag. She opened her drawers and took all of her clothes and belongings, placing them inside her bag. Crystal took her light blue Rotom Phone given by her mother recently, and all the money she had saved from last year.
Then she went inside her brother's bedroom and had found his Dynamax Band laying on his desk. Crystal noticed that his bedroom was filled with pictures of Rock-type Pokemon, including his pictures and League Cards of himself, giving it the rocky theme. Crystal took her brother's Dynamax band and puts it on her right hand. She then went to her mother's bedroom and noticed It's mostly white and gray; giving it winter vibes. Crystal found her mother's box contains lots of Ice Stones and took the box without any regret. When Crystal came back inside her room, she turned towards both Eevee and Snom whom she loves like family.

"Eevee, Snom let's go! We'll go wherever the wind takes us! As long it's not Circhester!" She then opened her mother's box, took out one of the Ice Stones. Crystal puts the box of Ice Stones inside her bag, before putting on her jacket and opened her window. "Eevee, whenever you're ready to evolve, just touch this Ice Stone! Let's go before big brother arrives. He won't find us at this rate." Crystal wore her bag, grabbing her Pokemon, and jumped off the window, with a perfect landing thanks to the snow. Crystal noticed that it's pitch dark outside of Circhester, with the full moon bright and lots of small stars, leading a trail to freedom.
"Goodbye forever mommy, big brother! Don't come to find me, and let's never meet again forever!" Crystal cried, immediately ran away from her hometown, and headed towards Route 9! Both Eevee and Snom we're on her shoulders saw Crystal didn't turn back and continued running wherever the wind takes her.
End of Flashback...
"But at that time, I was just a little kid. All those bad stuff I had said, I didn't mean it. I was suffering from my mother's harsh training. Now I know why my brother was rebellious towards mum." Crystal apologized towards Snom, for all the bad stuff she had said about her loved ones and home region. "After we ran away, Eevee evolved into Glaceon for my sake. When I was 6, I met my Lapras and caught her with a Dive Ball that I bought from my savings." Crystal pulled out her Dive Ball containing her precious Lapras that has the ability to Gigantamax!
"But despite that how much I miss mother and big brother, I just can't go back. I just couldn't, after all those awful things I've done. I'd rather survive on my own then coming back home." Crystal cried, hugging her Snom tightly, and letting the pain and tears out. Snom cuddles her Trainer, comforting the young girl and wiping those tears off Crystal's face. "Despite I stole my brother's Dynamax Band, I just couldn't do it, not after everything that I've done. It's not because I can't Dynamax nor Gigantamax my Pokemon. Its because I feel guilty using my brother's Dynamax Band that I had stole years ago..." Suddenly Crystal and Snom arrived at Postwick, they saw several trees nearby and decided to lay there for a while and rest a bit. Crystal saw a lot of nocturnal Pokemon active at night, while many children at Postwick are having a huge barbeque with their family and friends.
"I love the night, the moon's more beautiful in the moonlight. Money and luxury don't make a Trainer happy. What truly makes them happy is pursuing their dreams, and finding happiness. As years have gone by, I learned how to survive thanks to Snom, Glaceon, and Lapras. I don't cry nor complained, I keep trying and worked extra hard until I succeed." Crystal made a small smile, gazing at the sky and holding her Snom. Watching Crystal smile made Snom happy. However, it's still not enough for the Worm Pokemon to evolve...
Hammerlocke, Chloe's House...
"Watch me, Chloe, because tomorrow your big bro Raihan will finally defeat Leon at the exhibition match!" Raihan grins at his younger cousin Chloe, who's not too amused. Raihan quickly made more selfies of himself using the Rotom Phone.
"Oh, I'll be watching you battle with Leon tomorrow Rai. Watching you lose that is!" Hearing this from Chloe causes Raihan to faint comically. Chloe, she casually calls her cousin Rai, views him as a big brother. But unlike Hop, Chloe's always teased Raihan or unamused over his bad habits. Most of the time, she has low expectations for her cousin.
"Is this how you treat the greatest Dragon Master!"
"Since when did you become a Dragon Master? Most of your Pokemon are ground type, Rai. Maybe you should call yourself the Earth Master instead." Chloe points out, reminding Raihan that most of the comments from Zwitter questions if he specializes in Dragon Pokemon or Ground Pokemon.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Chloe when I beat Leon, I'll receive a huge amount of respect from my fans!" Raihan shouted with passion, causing his cousin to cover her ears.
"The only respect you'll get respects from humiliation! For pete's sake Rai, lower your voice! Do you want the whole world to hear you?!" Chloe snapped at her obnoxious older cousin. To Chloe, both Leon and Raihan are both stubborn and pain in the necks; while their Pokemon are more mature than their Trainers. Chloe saw a few of her younger siblings were playing Raihan's Duraludon and Flygon. "Isn't there anything you can do besides taking selfies? Don't start complaining that your fans left harsh comments again! I hope my new friends never dated Rai or Leon." Chloe saw Raihan made another selfie using his Rotom Phone.
"Oi! How many times do I have to tell you not to make any mess!" Chloe scolds her younger siblings for making a huge mess. Raihan's Pokemon were supposed to play quietly with 8 of her younger siblings, not loudly. Chloe wonders who's the adult around here?
Chloe is known as the Best Big Sister in Hammerlocke. Despite having 8 younger siblings; 12-year-old Chloe's mature for her age, despite that she can be feisty and hot-headed. Chloe's said to have a strong sense of justice, and her powerful courage. Chloe also loves her family, but her greatest fear was losing her loved ones and Gengar.
Chloe has a dark skin tone with medium black hair and dark green streaks reaching past her chest, tied in a high ponytail with a turquoise bow and tented bangs. Like Raihan, Chloe has a fangtooth, but on the right side of her teeth. She has dark green eyes, her outfit consists of a turquoise top with a white and green hoodie, printed with a Dragon-type logo, dark green denim shorts, dark green and brown boots with dark turquoise leggings.
"I wonder if his fans know that Rai and Leon secretly read dirty books and magazines?" Chloe checked her green Rotom Phone, with her Dreepy on her shoulder.
"Dreepy?" The Lingering Pokemon wonders why Raihan doesn't get tired of taking selfies.
"But dad wait! Aren't you going to see mom? I'm sure Amary and grandma would be thrilled! Although I'm not sure about grandpa though..." Hannah held her father's hand, stopping his movements. Despite how busy Kabu was, the Fire-type Gym Leader loves his family very much.
"As much as I would love to Hannah. But I'd like to spend time with my favorite daughter before our family dinner, along with unfinished business. Marigold will be coming, she also brought lots of gifts as well." Kabu grins at his daughter, holding her hand just like a protective father would do. "You're more than welcome to have lunch with me, my treat." Kabu explains his reasons for not visiting his wife yet. Kabu had recently taken a few days off from Gym duties, just to spend much time with his girls. Although Kabu wants to visit his wife, he would rather train extra than dealing with her wrath!
"By unfinished business, you mean training dad? Seriously if that was mum, you'd always bring her lots of gifts! I've seen this many times, and mum can be extremely scary."
"Since when did you become smart? You always daydream whenever you're walking." Kabu raised an eyebrow towards his daughter, taking a walk across Wedgehurt.
"I was just imagining myself battling against you dad! Me and my Pokemon battling against the amazing Fire-type Gym Leader! When I participate in my Gym Challenge, the first Gym Leader I'll battle is you dad!" Hannah points at her father, looking very serious and determined. Kabu however, wasn't amused.
"Keep dreaming Hannah, there's no way you'll ever defeat me at that level." Kabu shook his head, causing Hannah to pout at her father. "Just because you're my daughter, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you. When Marigold was around your age, she had to train extra hard in order to challenge me." Kabu remembered how Marigold trains extra hard with her Pokemon before she faced him.
"Oh daddy, I've also made strategies as well. Like my battling style will be very stylish, and I've always wanted to choose Scorbunny! Fire-type Pokemon are my favorite in the whole wide world."
"Battling is more than just being stylish Hannah."
Hannah blushes happily told her father how much she adores Fire-type Pokemon. The red-haired Trainer also told Kabu that her favorite move is Flamethrower, she loves the color red and loves the rainy weather. This causes Kabu to grow confused? He thought his daughter prefers sunny weather.
"Why rainy weather? I thought you love sunny weather?"
"I've always dreamed of kissing my true love in the rain. It's so romantic~" Hannah blushes, small hearts appearing in the background with a huge cloud appearing in her head. Imagining herself kissing a mysterious figure in the rain, only to get her dream cloud popped by Kabu.
"I'll decide who your boyfriend will be! You're way too young to have a relationship nor kiss any guys!"
"You and mum dated at a young age." Hannah points out the obvious question.
"That's different! Your mother's my first true love, while you are my daughter. Same goes for Marigold and Amary." Kabu blushes, couldn't believe that his daughter picked romance for their subject. The Fire-type Trainer would rather discuss any topics but romance towards his children.
"But dad, I'm learning about romance." Hannah explained her reasons.
"Stick to learning Pokemon and battling! You're too young to know those stuff!" Kabu comically snapped at Hana causing her to sweatdrop.
While walking around Wedgehurst and enjoying a group of Wooloos rolling down the mountains; Hannah learns that her father will be battling Dragon Master Raihan, tomorrow evening at the exhibition match. Which surprised the red-haired girl! It's also the same day where Leon will be participating as well! Hannah and Kabu stopped at a crepe shop, the Fire-type Gym Leader bought a huge crepe for his daughter; ice cream with fruits and red jelly. For him, a regular size crepe with matcha ice cream and red beans. Hannah thanked her father and happily took a huge bite of her crepe. What Hannah loves the most are Pokemon, accessories, food, and lots of sweets!
"Thank you for the crepe dad! You're the best!" Hannah cheered, took a big bite of her crepe. She also loves the sweets that Nigel her grandfather bought for her. Despite being strict and stern, Hannah is Nigel's favorite granddaughter due to the special bond they have. "Its been a while since you've treated me some snacks dad. Grandpa does it often, despite he's strict and serious; grandpa is the greatest along with grandma!"
Little did she know, Kabu wasn't sure when to tell this to Hannah and Amary? It has something to do with Nigel, who already talked to Kabu saying he has less than a year left to live...
"You've grown quite beautiful Hannah, I love your outfit. I've seen you've got yourself a hairstyle, your starting to become more stylish." Kabu compliments his daughter's outfit and hairstyle, trying to distract himself. They sat at a bench and watching little children playing with their Pokemon on a nice sunny afternoon. "So tell me, Hannah, have you heard what happened to Violet?" Kabu questions his daughter noticed that she's too busy eating her big crepe with ice cream.
"Violet? No, did something happen to her?" Hannah tilted her head, wondering what happened to this nice woman? She remembered whenever Violet's name was mentioned, every adult was quiet and sad.
"5 years ago, Violet died after she fell from the cliff. The doctors from Wyndon Hospital placed Violet on life support, however, due to a huge amount of blood loss, Violet was in a comatose and brain dead..." Hearing this made Hannah felt pain, knowing how it feels to lose someone precious. But a patient who's brain dead and in a coma was far worse. "The doctors informed Chairman Rose that with Violet's condition, she won't make it. So the Chairman had no other choice but to remove the life support off Violet..." Hearing this made Hannah realized that Violet and Chairman Rose had a special connection! Based on her father's explanation, Hannah learns that Violet and Chairman Rose were more than just friends.
"If Violet was precious to Chairman Rose, does that mean..."
"Yup, Violet was the Chairman's wife. The Cufant that the Chairman owns once belonged to Violet. The poor Pokemon must've missed her Trainer." Kabu wasn't sure why he told this to Hannah, but he believes that it's best that his daughter learns what death truly means. "After Violet passed away, the Chairman added violet flowers to dedicate his late wife. You see Hannah, everyone dies including Pokemon. Don't let the death of someone you love affect you or your goals. Remember when your paternal grandmother passed away 3 years ago?"
"I remembered her final words to me were; always keep smiling and always stay positive, no matter what. She even told me don't be depressed nor devastated about her death. She wants me to keep smiling and remember those great times we had together." Hannah remembered what her late paternal grandmother had said to her, during her final moments. "It's hard to move on at first, but as long as I keep smiling and stay positive, grandma will always be in my heart." Hearing this made Kabu very proud of his daughter.
"I'm glad I told you this Hannah. Keep in mind that death can happen again to another family member someday including, so be prepared."
"Hai!"
Kabu ruffles his daughter's hair, glad he could spend time with Hannah. Watching his daughter slowly blooming like a flower. The Fire-type Gym Leader also couldn't wait to battle his daughter at the Motostoke Gym Stadium.
"I almost forgot, I bought gifts for you, Amary and Holly. Marigold got hers, but unfortunately tomorrow night she'll be leaving for Sinnoh. Marigold's busier than Leon lately, she barely comes home."
Hearing this made Hannah upset, she's looking towards seeing her older sister Marigold; her number one role model. To Hannah, Marigold was the reason why she wanted to be the best big sister. Marigold's bedroom was filled with lots of trophies, Contest ribbons, and even Gym Badges from many regions! According to Hannah, Marigold's also a Top Coordinator, won every Grand Festivals.
"Now I know how Hop feels, at least he's lucky that his brother will come to visit..." Hannah was sad, wishes that her sister comes home often. Hannah did remember that Allie's parents worked overseas; arrived home every once a year. To Allie it's no big deal, giving her huge advantage while her grandmother didn't mind as long she's with friends.
After parting ways with her father Kabu, Hannah noticed that it's almost eight pm. As the young redhead took the path to Route 1, she saw a mysterious red object sparkling on the ground, near the patch of grass.
"Maybe I might find a rainbow color Alcremie, with stars! Hmm, I wonder what that could be?" Hannah walked towards the mysterious red object, took a closer look. "Amazing! It's a red gem! I wonder if its a ruby or something?" Hannah happily picked up the red gemstone, placing it inside her bag.
What Hannah didn't know, was that the mysterious gem that she picked up was a Wishing Gem! It's said that Wishing Gems are extremely rare, making it different to find in the Galar region. It's rarer than both Wishing Rocks and Wishing Stars. Many years ago, seven Wishing Gems were spread and scattered across the Galar region. Wishing Gems not only boosts Dynamax Pokemon, but these mysterious jewels cause specific Pokemon to Gigantamax! It's believed that any certain Pokemon touches those jewels or feels it, grants them the power to Gigantamax. But what's more shocking was each Wishing Gems causes Pokemon to Dynamax, both outside of Max Raid Battles and Gym battles. Also gives them exclusive moves that can only be found in Wishing Gems.
"Huh?" As Hannah arrived at Postwick, she heard someone's singing near the trees, in the middle of the night? "Not sure what's going on, but this seems interesting!" Hannah grinned, tries to head towards the trees, she noticed lots of nocturnal Pokemon including several Wooloos are listening to a girl's voice.
Insert DokiDoki! Precure: With All My Heart
All alone on an anxious night, I am humming a song. The darkness that seems to tremble, I can feel the power within it.
Crystal sang the song, several Pokemon began listening to it.
Every word and every note are, a piece of miracle, if you hum. Spread your arms wide sharara. That is the melody that rings to the future.
Hannah continued walking and saw several Wooloos had woken from this lovely singing voice.
From my heart I will sing. I want to send my voice to a faraway place. As of that day hope turns. The phrase is flapping its wings.
Suddenly Hop noticed that his Wooloo was awake after listening to Crystal's song.
Carrying this wish I will sing tomorrow too. As long as my precious person is here. It will be more dazzling than yesterday. I want to meet that smile again.
For unknown reasons, Leon noticed that his Charizard was soothed and relaxed despite being at Wyndon.
While I was busy, I forgot irreplaceable things. I had remembered everyone's warm kindness!
Sonia saw her Yamper felt soothed and relaxed just like the other Pokemon in Postwick. Normally the Puppy Pokemon gets very energetic.
Being too clumsy and not honest. Each time you take a circuitous route. I thought you swore, to the first star. The story that will never change.
"Amazing! Mega unexpected!" Hannah cheers continued following the beautiful voice.
From my heart let's sing together. Such a wide corner of the world. Even the tears were overflowing, someday it will shine.
Crystal felt tears coming down, thinking about her mother and brother back in her hometown.
Birds tweet and the breeze of spring. Carrying the sounds of the surf even for the sun and summer. While the eyes reflect, back the love that will forever be told.
Hannah got closer, she saw a girl singing with a Snom on her lap. But why was Hannah thinking about Leon, while listening to this song?
From my heart I will sing. I want to send my voice to a faraway place. As of that day hope turns, the phrase is flapping its wings.
"I wonder if this girl singing a song for someone?" Hannah whispers herself.
Carrying this wish I will sing tomorrow too. As long as my precious is here. It will be more dazzling than yesterday. I want to meet that smile again.
"Amazing! It's as if the song's enchanted or something!" Hannah's eyes sparkle and continues walking until she accidentally tripped a small pebble, causing her to fell. "Mega unexpected!" Hana shouted her catchphrase, causing Crystal to stopped singing. Crystal and her Pokemon were extremely surprised to see Hannah! "Ow! Ow! Ow! I should've seen that coming..." Hannah rubbed her head, put on her cap on. She then noticed Crystal, Snom, and Glaceon were staring at her. The red-haired girl happily got up, walking towards Crystal.
"I hope I didn't interrupt you or something. But when I heard your amazing voice, I noticed a lot of Pokemon were relaxed and calm! So I had to check it out!" Hannah couldn't but felt very excited to encounter a new friend. Hearing this causes Crystal to blush, she wasn't sure what to say, made her face turned red.
"Eh? Eeehhh?!" Crystal's eyes went wide, she was comically embarrassed about this.
Omake: Meeting Leon and Charmander...
"Please you'll never surpass your grandfather! I doubt that you'll defeat your father!" One of those mean kids told the 5-year-old Hannah many reasons, why she'll never defeat Champion Nigel nor her father Kabu, who's recently the new Fire-type Gym Leader. "You might be the Princess of Galar, but with that kind of attitude? There's no way a girl like you would win. Especially one who's too optimistic and energetic!" Hearing this made little Hannah cried, tears streaming down her cheeks with her bangs covering her short red hair. As if a knife stabbed her half, Hannah ran away from those bullies behind, leaving a trail of tears behind. Hannah continued running until she accidentally fell on the ground, bangs covered her eyes and gazed her reflection on the puddle of water.
"Sniff...sniff...sniff..." Little Hannah was crying, rubbing her eyes and gazed her reflection from the water. "What if they're right? What if I'll never defeat grandpa and daddy?" Hannah cried, more tears were falling down until she felt a soft warm hand touched her shoulder.
"Are you alright? I saw that you've tripped and fallen down, so I couldn't help but noticed how hurt you were." The young boy checked to see if Hannah got hurt. "Actually I was looking for Professor Magnolia's Lab and got lost until I found you on the ground."
The kind boy helped little Hannah up, gently fixed her hair, and wiped those tears off her wet eyes. Hannah took a closer look at the young boy. The young boy was ten-years-old with tan skin, purple hair, and has yellow eyes. His clothes made him look very attractive for his age; a red and gold jacket with diamond patterns, a black shirt with black and white pants with matching shoes, he wore a Dynamax band. Next to him was his starter Pokemon native to Kanto.
Insert Sword and Shield: Wedgehurst
"I'm sorry! It's just that looking at your clothing makes you look handsome..." Hannah's face suddenly turned bright, realized that she just said something out loud. She immediately apologized, but the boy laughed, finding her cute.
"Hey it's alright, I like you! You're a very cute miss." Hearing this causes Hannah to blush, accepting his compliment. "I just got so distracted, that I forgot where I was going. I'm Leon, and this is my starter Pokemon Charmander. This one's from the Kanto region. Charmander was given to me by Champion Nigel. He told me that it's special!"
Leon grins at Hannah, encouraging her to never give up on her dreams. Telling her to keep trying until she succeeds. He also told Hannah how he received his Charmander. It turns out the starter Pokemon Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble were all taken by their new Trainers. However, Champion Nigel was nice enough to give Leon a very special Charmander, hoping to raise it into a Charizard.
"Unfortunately, Nigel told me to figure out myself. He also told me that I'm too stubborn, and horrible at directions! Some Champion! He's more stern and strict than my dad." Leon pouted, never understood what everyone sees in Nigel? To the young Rookie; the Champion's too serious and too stern. But yet, everyone in the Galar region views Nigel as the hero of Galar. It's said that Nigel's Corviknight is undefeated! Having both it's Hidden Ability Mirror Armor and can Gigantamax! Making the Raven Pokemon the most dangerous beast!
"I'm going to train extra hard so I can defeat Champion Nigel and his Corviknight!" Leon grins at Hannah doing his signature pose. Watching this made Hannah stopped crying and laugh.
"I'm sure you will Leon! I believe in you! Go, go, Leon! Go, go, Charmander!" Hannah cheered, encouraging both Leon and Charmander to pursue their dreams.
"By the way what's your name?" Leon asked the little girl, unaware that she's both Marigold's younger sister and Nigel's granddaughter.
"Hannah... I'm Hannah and my goal is to become very stylish and the best big sister!"
"Hannah? I'll remember that name! Bye Hannah, I'll see you later!" Young Leon waved at the little girl, along with his Charmander as the duo heads towards Professor Magnolia's lab. But not before he gave his signature pose. "I called this one the Charmander Pose! I might change the name, by the time Charmander evolves into Charizard!" Leon gave the little girl a big huge grin.
"Leon, will we meet again?"
"Of course we will! When I defeat Nigel, I'll tell you all about my amazing stories!" Leon grins at Hannah, gave her a big thumbs up. Little did he know, Leon accidentally dropped a small object on the ground.
Hearing this made Hannah smile, happily gazing at the future Galarian Champion and his Charmander. Hannah finds Leon a very attractive person, despite he's recently starting his Pokemon Journey. Then Hannah saw something shiny on the ground? Could that belonged to Leon? Suddenly Hannah picked up a crystal that Leon had accidentally dropped. The little girl happily gazes at the special crystal that Leon had left behind.
"Leon" Hannah was smiling at the crystal, thinking about the young boy causes her cheeks to turn pinkish-red. The crystal that Hannah picked up was shaped like a star, shines from the bright warm sun. "When you become Champion, I hope to battle you someday Leon. When I win or lose, I promise to return this star crystal to you someday." To this day, this became Hannah's good luck charm, which made her more motivated and gave her lots of encouragement.
Insert X&Y Anime Music: Laverre City
"Leon, can't wait to battle you at the Champion Cup." Hannah now 11-12 was thinking about meeting Leon in person again. But for some reason, her heart started pounding whenever she kept thinking about the Champion. Hannah gazed at the star crystal, wondering if Leon remembers her? Hop still had no idea that Hannah already met Leon 6-7 years ago. Although Hop did remember that his older brother Leon had a star-shaped crystal, just like Hannah has. Except that his brother lost it during his Pokemon Journey.
"Hannah? Hannah! Are you daydreaming again?! Gosh and I thought Lee's sense of directions is terrible." Hop couldn't believe that Hannah was daydreaming, during his conversation with his friend again!
"Sorry about that Hop, I just got excited that Leon will be arriving at Postwick in few days." The young girl blushes causing Hop to smirk at his best friend. Knowing what was going on.
"I see, so tell me, Hannah, how much do you like Lee?" Hop grins at Hannah, causes her to blush. Unlike most people, Hop's fully aware that both Hannah and Leon like each other but didn't have the courage to confess, despite they haven't met.
"Wha-What?! Hop what are you talking about! I don't have any romantic feelings for your older brother or anything!" Hannah comically denied, but saw Hop gave her a big huge grin.
"It's okay Hannah, I already told Lee that you have a huge crush on him. I even told him about the time you sleep talked his name." Hearing this made Hannah's face turned dark red, blushing, and steam coming out of her ears.
"Hop why?!"
"That's what big brothers do. Don't worry Hannah, your beloved big brother Hop will take good care of you!" To Hop, he views Hannah as his precious little sister, having a sibling-like bond.
Hop hugged Hannah, grinning towards the embarrassing redhead. Hannah was comically embarrassed by this. Hop patted her head, telling the redheaded female that she's super cute when she's embarrassed.
Meanwhile...
"That Hop! Since when did he become cupid?!" Leon shook his head, couldn't believe what his little brother was doing! Charizard however wasn't surprised. He too knows that his Trainer likes Hannah, but doesn't show it. Charizard also knows that the Hannah that Hop's talking about, was the same one from 6-7 years ago. The only problem was his Trainer Leon, had forgotten who that little girl was. The Flame Pokemon couldn't believe that his Trainer forgotten about Hannah, and broke his promise to her. Normally Leon would reject love letters sent by his fangirls, or turned them down, claiming that he's too busy with Training. But surprisingly, Leon wasn't stunned when Hop kept talking about Hannah, nor denied liking her. Instead, he listens to his younger brother's conversation, curious who Hannah was? But for some reason, the Galarian Champion felt his heart beating, couldn't stop thinking about Hannah. It's as if he met her somewhere.
"I'm not sure who this Hannah girl is, but I'd like to meet her someday." Raihan smirked behind the wall, secretly eavesdropping Leon's conversation with his younger brother Hop, through video using the Rotom Phone. To Raihan, defeating Leon his eternal rival was the Dragon Master's ultimate goal! But after he eavesdropped Leon's conversation about Hannah, Raihan suddenly became interested in her. Raihan knows that Hannah's not only Marigold's younger sister but she's also one of Kabu's three daughters. "I wonder if it's love at first sight?" Raihan thought to himself if Leon's his eternal rival then that means they're also love rivals.
This is it, the chapter ends with Hannah meeting Crystal and her Snom. But don't worry Hannah's adventure is just the beginning! Ever since I watched the Precure series, I decided that each generation will feature a new girl protagonist. Irene might make a guest appearance, but she won't be the main character. I've also decided to do a fresh start with a new protagonist. Hannah's relationship with Leon was inspired by Haruka and Kanata from Go! Princess Precure, along with Nozomi and Coco from Yes Precure 5 and its sequel. I recommend you to watch those series. Chairman Rose's relationship with Hannah is similar to George and Hana from Hugtto Precure, except he doesn't see her as a lover! It's a father and daughter like relationship. In my story, Hannah reminds Chairman Rose of Violet his late wife, who's extremely precious to him. Again, to Chairman Rose, Hannah's like a daughter to him. (:
I noticed that in Sword and Shield, there are lots of similarities to Hugtto Precure. Like Chairman Rose reminds me of George Kurai from Hugtto Precure.
Hannah's relationship with Crystal is very similar to Hikaru and Lala from Star Twinkle Precure. Crystal survives on her own when she was 5. She mostly sleeps at the Wild Area or the Pokemon Centers, she earns money by selling Pearl Strings and Comet Shards, battling, and her Pokemon doing jobs. Despite she and Hannah are opposite to each other, they became fast friends. Crystal is antisocial; the complete opposite of her mother and brother. She spent most of her childhood making her own decisions, quickly act like an adult, distancing herself from people. Ironically Crystal's very comfortable talking to Hannah, Lucinda, Chloe, Selena, and Lila. Can't wait to do an episode where Hop tries to chat with Crystal.
What makes this story interesting, is there are lots of Precure elements. I'm thinking of adding more villains in the Macro Cosmos such as the Cosmic Trio. The Wishing Gems are the final requirements to awaken the Darkest One in my story. Oleana will find out later in the future.
I want to make this exciting, adventurous, suspenseful, and a lot of romance. Characters from Sword and Shield appears earlier than in the games. There is going be a chapter where Hannah meets Raihan early. Episode 3 will be when Hannah and Hop received their starter Pokemon. Episode 2 features Hannah and Crystal interacting with each other. Lucinda appears but won't interact until Hop and Hannah are at Wedgehurst, meeting Leon and Charizard. But episode 2 features Lucinda meeting Sonia and Professor Magnolia. Bonus, Holly announced her pregnancy to her daughters and Hop. (:
Fun fact, Hannah's Japanese name is Hana, almost similar though. In the Japanese version, Hannah calls Leon; Dande-kun. While the Galarian Champion calls her Hana-chan, there's a reason and hidden meaning for it. Hop loves Hannah like a sister, they have a sibling-like relationship.
If I were to do a gen 9th story; it'll feature a female protagonist with the theme of detective and mystery solving. Hannah's theme is being stylish, role model, and cheerleader! Hannah is great with cooking, soccer, being stylish, cheerleading, sharp skill, observant, and Pokemon battling. Hannah might not be great with academics, but she's very optimistic, brave, caring, supportive heroine, cheerful, energetic, and courageous. Hannah is also forgiving, but never forgives those who are pure evil. Plus there's lots of family issues, drama, suspense, and romance. Unlike my other stories, this one has more suspense, drama, and lots of conflicts relating to family issues. I might do alternate chapters with Hannah battling Gordie and Bea. It's similar except for minor differences.
The more I do tragic stories, the more I enjoyed it such as writing Crystal's backstory. I understand why writing tragic stories. I'm sure for those who played Sword and Shield already know who Crystal's family members are.
If were to do an Adventures manga fanfic, Hannah's main Pokemon would be a Centiskorch, she's often riding on it.
Leave a review, and tell me your favorite Precure series? I know a lot of staff from Game Freak are big Precure fans. If you haven't watched the Precure series, then you must. (:
