Title: There is no title
Alt Title: No seriously. I couldn't come up with anything.
.
.
I put periods in the empty spots where the spaces are because if I don't then FFN squishes all my paragraphs together.
I've tried everything. The sites formatting just hates me.
.
I have heard your voices! And will as such, shorten the info on Blakes list of Pokémon from here on out.
.
.
AMEXX: The drama has just begun!
Restia: Yeah okay.
Ultima-owner: This setting has streaming and all that as a relatively new thing. After all, we only got social media portrayals in Pokémon with the Galar region. Though technically there are references to it in Alola.
Aside from that. I can totally see Iono as being the kind of person to jump head first into a job without knowing how to do it and wouldn't think to hire an editor until after the fact.

Blake POV
.
"What are you doing here Ace?" I ask the cutesy little girl. Who is in fact almost a year older than me despite being almost a foot shorter at four foot eleven.
"Well~" She says with a cutesy sway. "You said you couldn't make it to Alola this year. Soooo~ I thought I'd bring Alola to you! Me! Alola!"
She says that last bit as the Alolan greeting. Hand waves and everything.
…
"Okay, well, I'll love that you're here, but well. I'm working." I say and close the door.
"Awww! Come on Blakey! Lemme in!" She whines.
"Unless it has to do with official Unovan League business." I say as I walk back to my desk. "I'm afraid I have to say I'm busy. You can come back later at about five."
"Hehe!" She gives a devious giggle. "That's the best part! It does!"
"I'm sorry, hah?" I say as I pause in pulling out my chair.
"I said it does!" She repeats through the door. "Also, you took Mimikins."
I look to the side of my desk where the aforementioned Mimikyu is now sitting. Opposite side of where Drayden is standing. She must've snuck in while me and Ace were talking.
I look back over to Drayden for help.
"Your cousin." He says.
"Not by blood!" She shouts quickly.
She's been eager to point that out since we were fifteen. I asked her about it. She said it was just a way to mess with me. And now it's a habit.
Drayden doesn't know that. And as such raises a brow.
"It's just one of her things." I say with a shake of my head. "She has a lot of those."
Like finding her way into someone else's bed when they're over. Mainly mine. Though Mallow and Lana insist it's not weird. According to Lana, her little sisters did it all the time when they were younger.
Must be an Alolan thing.
Anyway.
"Come in." I say with a sigh. "And you better not be lying!"
She opens the door and walks in before standing in front of my desk.
…
"Well?" I ask.
"Well what?" She asks innocently.
"You said this was for official Unovan business." I reiterate.
"I did?" She says coyly.
I know that tone. She's upset.
Acerola doesn't show anger like most people do. Instead she intentionally annoys whoever upset her. At least I know how to deal with this.
"I'm sorry I upset my adorable and beautiful Ace." I say with a sigh.
"Well now that you mention it I do have this letter!" She says with a blush as hands me an envelope while her other hand is holding her cheek.
"Thank you." I say and take the envelope.
I know how to handle Ace. I'm just too tired and stressed to do so properly.
Opening it. I skim through it. Blah blah this, blah blah that. Congratulations on elevation to position of Gym Leader. Blah blah, oh here it is. Wait.
"Ace, this just says you have permission for an extended vacation here in Unova." I say. "Signed by Ash Ketchum."
"Wait, it's not a letter of diplomatic service?" She asks.
"No, it just says you have permission for an extended vacation to congratulate me being a Gym Leader and help me learn how to be one." I say. "Which makes little to no sense by the way. Alola has the most radical form of league across the regions."
They don't even have gyms.
"Oh, um." She fumbles as she starts scratching her cheek. "I, kinda just skimmed it. Oops?"
…
"Ace, just. Not now, please?" I say.
That gets a sad look from her. Something that always hurts me to see.
"Oh, well, sure." She says lowly as she turns around and sulks. "I'll just, go rent a motel or something. You have my number."
"Arceus damn it Ace." I say under my breath. "You can wait in my room while I fill out the paperwork okay? We can chat over lunch."
"Don't need to tell me twice!" She says and skips off, Mimikins following after.
"Wait! You need my!" I start to say as I stand up and pat my pocket for my key.
Before seeing Mimikins scurry out of the room while holding said keys.
"Stay out of my coffee!" I yell.
"Nooooo promises!"
Not long after the door closes behind Mimikins, Drayden finally speaks.
"You realize she played you, right?" He says.
"I am aware, yes." I say through a sigh. "Is this signature real? I don't put it past her for all that to be an elaborate act." I say as I hand him the paper.
Hell, she's kept up the act of the Totem Mimikyu's hideout being a myth for five years. Challengers to this day still believe her when she says it doesn't exist.
It's a secret panel Ace and the Totem set up to mess with the challengers. I only know because I tripped in the abandoned mart and fell through it.
Drayden takes the note and scans it.
"This handwriting is atrocious." He says calmly. "It's real."
"How do you know?" I ask.
"I've met Ash before he was champion of Alola." He says. "In fact, him and Champion Iris are close friends. And bicker like siblings." he grumbles the last bit.
"Huh." I say. "Learn something new everyday."
"Enough." He says. "Back to the request forms. The forms for requesting training Pokémon for new trainers is-" he goes off.
Drayden is intent on cramming fifty plus years of his experience into me. And is taking a very, headfirst attitude about it.
.
.
Acerola POV
.
I walk into Blakey's room with the key Mimikins grabbed for me. She's helpful like that.
"Huh. Rather, sparse." I say in regards to the room itself.
It's like he just started living here. White walls, beige carpet. A basic bookshelf with nothing on it. A white dresser with a laundry basket next to it. A twin sized bed with blue sheets and purple blanket. A desk with an espresso machine and coffee container next to it.
Not much else. Though the laundry basket does have clothes in it!
"Hmm hm hmmm!" I squeal as go over to it and reach into it.
Blake won't be here for a few hours. He'll never know!
*Smack*
"Owie!" I cry as a shadowy hand smacks mine. "Mimkins!"
I turn to her. Only to be met with the disapproving glare of my best friend.
"Mi!" She calls as she crosses her arms.
"I wasn't doing anything, okay, I can't lie to you." I say in defeat. "But can you blame me?"
She just nods her little head.
"Fine." I say and make my way towards the espresso machine.
Blake always knows the best brands.
I go to open the machine and make a cup.
*Smack*
"Owie! Again!" I cry at the shadowy hand that comes from behind the machine.
Mimi peeks out from behind it. A little tag on her purple costume reading.
(Official Coffee Protector)
"Really?" I whine.
"Mi." Mimi nods.
"Fine! I'll wait on the bed!" I stomp my foot and turn to the bed.
Just as I turn and sit. I fall right on my bum.
"Owwww!" I cry. "Why!?"
I look up and see the bed on the ceiling. And a Gengar's face poking through the sheets.
"Gargargargargar!" He laughs.
"Lake!"

17 yr old Blake POV
.
"Blake! You'll never guess what happened!" Iono says as she bursts into my dorm room.
"Iono, privacy." I say as I move my chess piece. "Check."
"Miii!?" The Mimikyu across from me exclaims in surprise.
Acerola sent me a Mimikyu and a very fancy gold and amethyst ring for my seventeenth birthday. I'm not normally one for jewelry. But this one is nice. I like it.
At first, I thought it was a Z-Crystal ring. No, just a decorative gem. It's on my right ring finger now.
And the Mimikyu is just a gas!
"Pfft, privacy shmivacy!" She waves. "This is important."
"What would you have done if I was undressed?" I throw out.
"I'd point and laugh before continuing anyway!" She says with a sharp toothed smile.
She's a trickster alright. Though I suppose that's what attracts me to her. My calm mischievous nature compliments her energetic and flamboyant personality.
Kinda like mom and dad. He's cool, calm, and collected. Mom is, out there. And has a major flare for the dramatics. Like openly fainting when I said I was going to specialize in dark types.
Mimikyu moves the Aggron (Knight) forward and takes out my Ninjask (Bishop) to get her out of check. Perfect.
I move my Camerupt (Rook) forward to take out her Gardevoir (Queen). Putting her Trainer (King) in checkmate.
"Checkmate." I call.
"Miiii!" Mimikyu exclaims as she leans over to peer at the board.
Hoennian chess. The pawns are Sableye.
"Good!" She says and jumps onto my bed. "Listen to this!"
"I'm listening." I say as I turn from my desktop game of Chess.
"Alright, so! La Primera got ahold of me." She starts.
"And immediately I'm on guard." I say.
I fought her at the end of my last Treasure Hunt. And as someone with a background steeped in trainers. I can tell you she's holding back. Hell, the nonchalance she displays anytime she loses just shows she knows something you don't. And that's that she is holding back. She has strong mon, but plays off her losses as a lack of strategy.
No, she tailors her strategy to make it seem as though she just barely loses each time. Hell, Poppy was more challenging. And Katy tells everyone who challenges her that Geeta makes her hold back. And if she makes a subordinate hold back, who's to say she doesn't. It's a casual dishonesty that's meant to manipulate.
"Hush!" She says with a pout. "Anyway! She came to me with a proposal. Me! You know how with the updates and innovations to the internet and all that. Well, all these new entertainment jobs are becoming a thing?"
"Roughly, I know Galar is real big on it." I respond.
Raihan and Gordie especially.
"Well, Levincia's Gym Leader is retiring, and La Primera asked me to take over! And she suggested this system were I'm an influencer and streamer to help boost the tourism in Levincia!" Iono exclaims happily.
"Okay, now tell me." I start.
"Hold on there's more!" Iono shushes me. "She wants both of us to co-leaders! Like those twins in Hoenn!"
"Count me out." I say immediately.
"What?" She says with a hurt frown. "Why?!"
"Iono, I know nothing about being a streamer for one." I tell her.
"Set your own schedules, play games all the time, make money from playing games!" She lists off. "Or from watching other peoples videos or just talking."
"And the downside?" I ask.
"There is none!" She says excitedly. "Well, aside from it being a real feast or famine kid of job I guess."
Yeah, no. That sounds way too good to be true. And that's beside the point.
"You said Geeta made you this offer?" I ask with a raised brow.
"Mii!" I hear behind me.
Turning to the mon. I see she reset the board. And she pushes a Sableye forward.
"In a second." I tell the Mimikyu.
"Oh come on Blake!" Iono says as she falls back on my bed. "She can't be nearly as bad as you seem to think she is!"
"I just don't trust her." I say. I tried to explain why, Iono just doesn't get it. "And being a Gym Leader under her is not something I want to do. Also, I can see your underwear."
Pink and blue stripes.
"I know~" She says coyly. "I don't care."
Iono likes to be a tease. We haven't gotten that far. But we've, tested the waters so speak over our three years together. We're both just waiting for the right moment.
"Don't distract me." I say lightly. "I'm not doing it. And personally I don't think you should either. Also, Mimikyu can see too."
"I'm not distracting you. And we're both girls, so it's fine." She says, yet turns to her side and faces me nonetheless.
"I'm not joining you." I say.
"Oh come on!" She whines. "Please!"
"No." I say. "I refuse to be under Geeta's thumb. And besides that, I don't think I want to be a Gym Leader."
"But we'd be like a super cute celebrity couple!" She whines as she gets to her knees to sit up and glare at me.
"And I'm saying that an offer from Geeta reeks of hidden strings. Not to mention the whole streamer pitch sounds too good." I reiterate. "I mean, if it really is as good as you say. Then why isn't everyone doing it?"
"I dunno? They haven't thought to try?" She pushes.
…
"No." I say and turn back to the Mimikyu.
"Argh!" She shouts and hops off my bed to stomp off. "Talk to me when you're ready to be reasonable!"
She stomps out of my room. Though with the carpet and her slim stature. There wasn't much stomping to be heard.
*Slam*
The wooden door on the other hand. Was very audible.
"You don't think I was being unreasonable, do you?" I ask the Mimikyu as I move my Aggron.
She stares up at me. Blinks once before turning back to the board and moving a Sableye forward.
"Staying out of it." I translate. "Got it."
After three weeks of not budging on the subject. Me Iono split up. She accepted Geeta's offer at the end of the year. And I went home to take on the Sinnoh Circuit. After which I applied to all the ghost gyms. And got accepted into Montenevera first.

Mimi's thought process
.
Sister's friend and leader loves my new friend and leader. Leader friend already has potential mate.
This is bad.
Leader friend and his mate separate? Yes!
Sister and sister's leader friend will be happy!
"Check." Leader friend says as he moves the metal one in an L.
"Mii!?" I demand to know!
"You're new to it." He says. "You'll learn."
...
I never learned.

A/N

So I have an idea of who the girls in the romantic comedy will be. But I'm willing to hear you guys out.
So far it's.
Acerola
Iono
-Not revealed yet-
Let me know who you want to see in here!
.
Also let me know which of Blake's Pokémon you want to see the meeting of in the bonus next.
.
So, I looked up Acerola's official age. And it just says 11-19. Like, what?! I mean. She's short yeah, and I know IRL girls who are below five feet and look like they could be 15 or so. But putting her official age as being somewhere between 11, and 19?!
WTF? That's a massive difference! Here in the states. One isn't even allowed in the front seat without a booster, and the other can sign up for the military and do porn! But not drink. Because for some reason our government said you can sign your life away in every other meaningful way at 18. But you can't drink until 21.
Why America? Why?
Aside from that. I can totally see Acerola as the type to steal your shirts and treat it as a sign of affection. She just has that gremlin energy.
Now that I think about. With Iono and Acerola. It seems Blake has a tendency to attract childish and gremliny girls.
Guess he has a type. And I'm not talking ghost.
I'll leave now.
