Hey, I really like the stuff you write and I wanted to know if you have any personal headcannons for the gym leaders + leon??? They don’t have to relate to anything in game I just thought it would be cool to see what you think of them! :)
Headcanons for the gym leaders and Leon
This is pretty open ended so I decided to list five headcanons for each of them
Milo:
Has a blog dedicated to his wooloo
Names every wooloo in his gym and loves them like his own wooly children
The trainers in his gym also help out on the farm
He started weight training in his early teens. That coupled with working on a farm means he’s buff as hell
Has a beautiful garden in his backyard separate from the farm. Donates the fresh produce to food banks.
Nessa:
Workaholic, she’s married to her jobs
Spends so much time on the trains she could navigate them asleep
Also Galar’s regional swimming champion
To de-stress she goes out into the wild area and doesn’t let anyone contact her for a week
She’s been dying her hair since she was thirteen
Kabu:
Misses Hoenn a lot, but loves his new home in Galar
Got into Pokemon breeding when he was younger, but never made a career out of it
Received his first Pokemon at birth, his parents wanted someone to help babysit so they got him a torchic and it grew up with him.
He was really sad when he had to leave his Blaziken behind when he moved, but he still gets to visit sometimes
He may or may not have smuggled it across the border and it may or may not be living in his house
Allister:
He’s understandably, not too focused on school at the moment so his grades aren’t the best. He has a gym to run.
He used to be scared of ghosts when he was a baby, but his parents had a ghastly and it helped babysit him so he got used to it pretty fast
Bea is his best friend, they have a lot of common interests and he doesn’t find her company to be too stressful
His Gengar lets him ride on its shoulders when he gets tired
His Pokemon are very protective of him
Bea:
Has been learning various martial arts since she was old enough to walk
Her favorite is Jiu Jitsu it’s one of the arts that requires the most care to not… accidentally kill your opponent.
She’s really good at poker, her tells are very subtle and she’s aware of them so she can repress them
Someone was stupid enough to try to pickpocket her once, she didn’t hurt them but the fire in her eyes was enough to send them running.
She’s a straight A student
Opal:
She was an incredible actress in her youth, her films are considered classics in Galar (think audrey hepburn)
She has an incredibly high alcohol tolerance. Don’t challenge Opal to a drinking contest she will win.
Despite having nostalgia for the music of her youth, she has an affinity for Panic! At the Disco
She goes all out for Christmas (or the Pokemon universe equivalent)
She treats Bede like the son she never had
Bonus: she smacked Rose in the face with her umbrella before he went to prison. Bede told her about vibe checks
Melony:
When her children were in school, she was on the PTA and she wasn’t having any of the bullshit from the other moms. “Shut up, Karen, no one cares that Braxteynn stopped breastfeeding at five.”
Fights antivaxxers tooth and nail. Has been known to sick her Lapras on antivax parents.
Even though she and Gordie had a fight, she still sends him Christmas (or equivalent?) cookies every year
Kabu is her best friend, they have similar tastes in music and movies
She’s at a point in her life where she’s stopped caring about other people’s opinions and finds it very liberating.
Gordie
Has a tiktok dedicated to his pokemon
Loves puns and makes them constantly
Goes hiking to unwind
Played soccer as a kid - he was really good at it and could have pursued it as an adult
Secretly misses his mom a lot
Piers
Loves zigzagoon with all his heart
Takes so many pictures of sleeping zigzagoon, his phone is full of them
Saved all of Marnie’s baby pictures they’re in an album on his coffee table
Has a pet perrserker that sleeps on his chest at night
His diet is a disaster. He subsists mostly on pizza rolls and frozen burritos
Raihan
Has a secret meme account
He didn’t do super well in school, he’s really really bad at math
He really wishes more gym challengers would make it to Hammerlocke, he gets bored
He took up mountain biking for fun, both as exercise and a way to kill the boredom
Since Rose is in prison, he runs the power plant now
Leon
Breeds pokemon for good stats
Enjoys the battle tower so much more than being champion
When he was the champion, he did a lot of traveling to other regions so he’s seen lots of different species of Pokemon
He saw Arceus in a dream once, he never told anyone about it
Despite being a disaster with directions, he’s really good with technology. He can fix just about anything.
