The Dragons Eye (Raihan x Reader)

•6•

The day after the Gym Challenge started, (y/n) went straight for Milo's Gym, hoping to cover at least three gyms in one day.

The Gyms were much different than Sinnoh, but then again, the whole region was. (Y/n) had to heard the small Pokémon called Wooloo to the end of the arena, making sure to avoid the Yampers that could scare away the Wooloo.

She had made it though the challenge almost flawlessly, and when her battle with Milo begun, she felt a little bit guilty when she sent out her Crowbat.

Milo's eyes had widened at the strong Pokémon, nearly almost all of his teammates being one-hit KOed. It was an easy sweep, one that (y/n) was proud of. The gym leader gave her a small fragment that fit snugly into the ring she was given, one down, seven to go.

Travelling through the region was quite fun, seeing all the new Pokémon and registering as many as she could into her Pokédex at once. Travelling though caves and routes gave her an old feeling of nostalgia, that was until she entered Nessa's gym challenge.

She had been the only person to challenge that day, mostly because it was still early, and because of the fact that she managed to beat Milo with wicked speed.

Sending out her Ampharos, (y/n) knocked out all of Nessa's Pokémon just as she did with Milo's, claiming the second challenge piece.

Now she had to wait to challenge Kabu, since he took all the challengers on the same day, and due to the fact that she had destroyed the gym leaders with her Pokémon. It almost felt as if she was cheating.

That night, (y/n) slept in the Budew Inn. Although not as quiet as the wild area, it was much more comfortable to sleep on a proper bed.

Raihan's eyes lazily glazed over the highlights of the Gym challenges, his mind more or less focused on the girl he had seen earlier. Why did he feel like he knew her? Even his partner Flygon seemed to know her!

Letting out a sigh, Raihan looked at his phone, scrolling though his fellow Gym Leaders feed. Milo as always took a few adorable pictures of his Wooloo, but Nessa had a picture of someone rather familliar.

The photo was taken right after she had sent out her Dreadnaw, a yellow blur dashing across the field with amazing speed. Then there was that same girl he had met earlier standing on the opposite side. Raihan felt his heart speed up when he zoomed in on her, her wonderful (e/c) eyes had a determined glow to them, and her expression was one full of experience.

He'd have to keep an eye out for her in Kabu's challenge tomorrow.

"Alright Metagross, ues earthquake once more and end this battle!" (Y/n) shouted over the crowds cheering. Her partner nodded eagerly, a powerful tremor shaking the ground, causing Kabu's Sizzilipede to collapse, shrinking back to its normal size.

Kabu returned his Pokémon, his eyebrows knitting together in frustration. Then with a sigh, he let his anger go, golden eyes looking at (y/n) with pride. Walking up to her, he spoke loud and clear over the crowd.

"Congratulations challenger 000, you've won the fire badge. Keep aiming for the heights!" He said, concluding the battle. The girl nodded, walking back to the locker room and taking a quick shower, then changing back into her regular day clothes and heading to the train station.
