Chapter 2

"....Y/n?"

"Nemona?"

—————————————————————————

Y/n and Nemona stare at each other for a second before Nemona full on sprints at the h/c boy and hugs him.


"IMISSEDYOUSOOOMUCHWHEREHAVEYOUBEENWHATHAVEYOUBEENDOING."

"Nemona.... Air"

Nemona realizes what she was doing before letting go of the hug and blushing in embarrassment. Straightening herself up she goes back to the directors side. Who is..... smirking at you.

"Anyway, it's good to see you again." Nemona says which you agree to.

"I must say I am quite surprised. Do you too have a history together?" The director asks intrigued.

"Yeah, I used to live next door to her." Was all you said.

"Very well, I must say however, I wasn't expecting you here so soon." The director commented. In all honesty, you wanted to see your neighbors. But you didn't expect such a surprise.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't have much to do anyway." You elaborated before looking back at Nemona, who smiled at you.

"Wait a minute, is Y/n who I think he's going to be...?" Nemona asked the director with curiosity. In truth, you had no idea what they were talking  about but decided to let it go. 

"Yes, Y/n is going to be our academy's newest student. He will be attending as of today." Director Clavell said.

'Ah so this is what it's about' was all you thought.  You glanced down at the starters of the region who all looked at you expectantly.

"So, Y/n., guess what" You heard Nemona call out your name. You looked up at her intrigued . "I became the student council president and a Champion-ranked trainer." 

"Guess you must love battling, huh?" You say sarcastically, not expecting her to start gushing over how fun and cool battling was. She was starting to get too excited. You can tell by her mannerism by holding her hands together with smile you're all to familiar with.

Sighing you flick her forehead, bringing her back to reality. You hear a 'Hey!' but it's alright. The director gives you a look full of thankfulness. You knew how excited she can get over little things. especially back in your guy's childhood when she almost threw herself in between a wild Pokemon battle just so she could join in too.  

"Easy, now you two will be put in the same class. You'll have much more time to battle there." The director helped in ending her battle maniac mantra. "And get to know one another better, of course." The director winked at you in which you responded by raising your eyebrow.

"We're neighbors AND classmates? Nice! We'll battle to our hearts content, Y/n!" Nemona said.

"On that note Master Y/n...." The Pokemon cry out, "Have you decided which of these Pokemon you would like to be your first partner?" The director asked. You thought about it before this but you knew who you were going to choose.

You examine the three once more before nodding in conviction. 

You move forward..... 

.... and to the left....

You crouch down....

And pick.....

Sprigatito

(Now I know some of you would've wanted Fuecoco or Quaxly but I chose Sprigatito because I choose Fuecoco with Pokemon Violet and this story is based on Scarlet. Sorry)

"Your name will be...Grasidi" You say.

Sprigatito climbed up on your shoulder as both of you smile. 

"Sprigatito seems to have taken a liking to you, Master Y/n." Clavell comments as you and the Pokemon bond. "This is your first Pokemon, yes?"

"Actually it's not." You reply, still focused on the grass cat in perched on your shoulder.

"Well your transcript does say you moved from the Galar region." The director murmurs. You shrug it off as the hands you Sprigatito's pokeball.

"Y/n.... I can't believe you chose Sprigatito...." Nemona starts. You frown, afraid of the tone she's using. It sounds like she's disappointed in you. "I mean, like, way to make the perfect choice for you! You two make such a good combo! She smiles and hold her hands in front of her chest.

Nemona asks the Director if she can pick a Pokemon too. The two talk about it for a little before Clavell eventually caves on the act of her raising one alongside you. She immediately looks at Quaxly. Quaxly does a little jump and bow as Clavell gives Nemona Quaxly's pokeball.

"Alright then. Now that we have our Pokemon we have to battle. Meet me at the beach." Nemona says hurriedly as she sprints off. Clavell sighs as he watches her run off before turning to you and saying.

"As you may have noticed or already known, Miss Nemona is a tad overly fond of Pokemon battling. But I do hope you join her." Clavell taked Fuecoc as you head down to the beach.

Timeskip brought to you by chibi Y/n heading to the gyms as chibi Nemona stalks him

"Over here N/n!" You hear Nemona call out with a private battle ground on the beach. It's been a while since she's called you that you mused, ignoring her ramble on her trainers code. "So, are you ready to battle me Y/n?"

"Yeah, I'm ready. Are you?" You question.

"Perfecto! I'm excited! For this battle I'll use-" Nemona says before getting cut off by Director Clavell's voice.

"Miss Nemona." The director walks up to you two. "I hope you remember that you said you wanted to grow alongside Y/n, right?"

"Heh, whoops.... Good call, Director." Nemona rubs the back of her head embarrassed. "Let us have a fruitful battle Y/n!" She called out.

"Let's." Is all you said as you walk across from her.

[You are challenged by Pokemon Trainer Nemona!]

Nemona send out her Quaxly while you send out Sprigatito. "This is probaly your first Pokemon battle in a while. So let's just have fun!" Nemona calls out.

"Quaxly use Pound!" Nemona calls out as you tell Sprigatito to wait it out.

"Now! Jump up and use Leafage on Quaxly!" You say as Quaxly takes super-effective damage. "Follow it up with Scratch!" You command with experience. 

Nemona yells for Quaxly to dodge and use Pound again causing damage done to the both of you. Within the split second frame of rest you tell Grasidi to use Leafage to end it. Quaxly ends up fainting while your Rotom phone let's you know that your Sprigatito leveled up.

"Wow! Not bad, Y/n!" Nemona say with her non-gloved hand rested against her cheek.

"You too." You reply with happiness that you haven't felt in a long time. Nemona tries to battle you once more with a different strategy but the Director stops her. Nemona apologizes as you forgive her, telling her to not worry about it and we'll battle again soon. 

"You two seem to be making up for the lost time between each other." You and Nemona blush a little to Clavell's comment. "Can I count on you to take him under your wing Nemona, at least until he reaches the academy?" The Director asks and Nemona says she will.

Nemona also installs the Pokedex app onto your Rotom Phone before the Director walks off,  with Fuecoco in tow, to talk to Nemona's parents. Nemona runs off soon after telling you to meet her to go catch some Pokemon with her.  You call out Sprigatito as she comes and rests on your shoulder as you walk off smiling.

'She really hasn't changed at all.' Are your last thoughts as you leave the beach.

Omake!!!


Arven, Penny, and Nemona can all be seen in a recording studio room. Arven was working on a beat when Nemona walked in with a Palafin making dolphin noises. Then Penny's phone started going off. 

The trio then walk out of the room with goofy smiles on their faces as they go and see Y/n at the academy, talking to Nurse Miliam.

"Hey Y/n! Come listen to the music we made!" Arven calls out to you. You apologize to nurse Miliam for having your conversation cut off before running to the three and putting on the headphones they held out.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHI-"
