SAIKI K. — headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
when they have a crush on you
CHAR: saiki kusuo , teruhashi kokomi, kaidou shun, hairo kineshi, kuboyasu aren, aiura mikoto, saiko metori, nendou riki, rifuta imu, toritsuka reita, saiki kusuke
PAIRING(S): x gn!reader
A/N: first day of school and I’m already posting headcanons, my priorities aren’t straight
Tumblr media
˙✧. IN DENIAL (hardcore)
there are two types of denial, this is type one.
these people have acknowledged their crush, but adamantly deny such allegations when brought up from other people.
sometimes they even deny it to themselves but deep down they do know that they have a crush which they’re not ready to admit or pursue yet.
“A crush on them? Why would I…”
kusuo saiki, kuboyasu aren, kaidou shun, teruhashi kokomi
˙✧. IN DENIAL (adrien agreste style)
this is denial type two.
these people, genuinely don’t know or think they have any special feelings for you… but they do. they’re so incredibly oblivious to dusts of red coating their cheeks and ears whenever they talk to you.
eventually by the time they do realize they like you, it’ll probably be to late for them. you’d have moved on, gotten another lover, or just outright got out of their reach.
“Them? No, they’re just a friend.”
hairo kineshi, saiko metori, toritsuka reita, nendou riki
˙✧. CONFESS.
they admit that they like you and confess!
the thing is that they most likely did this immediately after their revelation of their feelings.
there’s a high chance that once the bell rings, they sprint out of the classroom to find you. and once they do, they grab you by your shoulders, look you dead in your eyes and say:
“I like you, will you be my s/o?”
hairo kineshi, kuboyasu aren, nendou riki, rifuta imu, toritsuka reita
˙✧. FRIEND+
“friends with benefits,” is a way to put it. but it’s not really correct.
see, you don’t necessarily know that you get special privileges from them, but you have them. but if you do pick up on the special privileges, please do something about it - this is their only way of confessing.
take these special benefits and upgrade them, to a special status called: s/o
“Only they’re special, not you.”
saiki kusuo, saiki kusuke, saiko metori, rifuta imu, kaidou shun, kuboyasu aren, aiura mikoto
˙✧. WAIT
yes, they wait.
either they wait for you to confess first because they have a fear of rejection, or they’re waiting for their feelings to pass by.
sometimes, it’s both. is it sad? yes. but do they do it anyways? of course.
“No confession? Seriously?”
saiki kusuo, saiko metori, kaidou shun, teruhashi kokomi, rifuta imu, aiura mikoto, kuboyasu aren

“Why aren’t you wearing a sweater?”
That had been your boyfriends greeting. He frowned deeply as you stepped into the dorms, replacing your sneakers with slippers. “You’re freezing,” he hisses as he rubs a hand gently along your bare arm.
“I didn’t know it would be so cold,” you simply shrug. He scoffs at your statement and shrugs himself out of his own sweater. “It’s fine, sweetheart.” He ignores your words and forces your goosebump-covered arms into the sleeves as he drapes the sweater over your shoulders. He, rather aggressively, tugs the front of his sweater together—forcing the two halves of the zipper together. “Thank you,” you mutter, your hands cupping the sides of his neck. He grunts as the cool skin of your palms comes in contact with the warmth of his neck.
In an attempt to warm you up, Ni-ki drags you to the kitchen and places the kettle on the stove—then proceeds to dig through the cupboards for a teabag. Once the water boiled and the kettle began to scream he plopped the bag into the bottle of a mug and fills the water to the rim. “Honey?” He mutters, not lifting his gaze from the mug. You hum softly and watch him move around the kitchen, getting the honey—along with a spoon, and squeezing the golden substance into the steaming amber water. “Be careful,” he sighs as he slides the mug across the counter and into your reach. You give him a soft smile as you reach for the drink, your hands cupping the exterior of the mug—the heat seeping into your still cold hands. “It’s hot,” he speaks up again as you bring it to your lips.
“I know, baby.” He watches you with a soft gaze, but his lips remain in a pressed line. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just drink.” He reaches out and brushes his fingertips against your mug, his touch lingers down your fingers before settling on your wrist—a hard frown breaking across his features.
“Ni-ki?”
“Where’s your ring?” You mirror his frown as you glance down at your hand, fingers bare. “Baby?” It’s very hard to miss the wavering in your boyfriends voice.
“I was wearing it on my way here,” you check your other fingers—just in case. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, I didn’t even notice I wasn’t wearing it. Ni-ki,” you sigh. You place your mug into the countertop and drop your head into your hands, your fingers curling into the roots of your hair. Seeing you like this squeezes his heart, and the next thing he knows, he’s swooping to your side and tugging you into his chest. “I’m so sorry, don’t be mad.”
“Never, especially over something like this. My love, I can buy you a new ring,” Ni-ki speaks softly as he strokes your hair with a gentle touch—one solely reserved for you.
“But it won’t be the same,” you whine.
“I’ll buy you the exact same ring as before, same engravings and everything.” You simply shake your head, he sighs into your hair. “It’ll be fine. It’s really not a big deal, sweetheart.” You wrap your arms around his waist, nuzzling your face into his shirt.
Hours have passed by and now your back at in your apartment, standing in the centre of your room—your gaze fixed on the gold ring atop your dresser. After a few seconds of staring you reach for your phone, which is nuzzled in the pocket of Ni-ki’s sweater—which you still wore. You bring the phone to your ear, listening to the dial tone, and then to Ni-ki’s voicemail. You sigh, sending him a text instead of ringing again. Hey baby, I found my ring…sorry for making such a big deal out of nothing. I love you my Riki. You toss your phone onto your mattress and approach the dresser, your fingertips pinch the band of the ring and you examine the engravings along the inside. I give you my love. You can’t help the grin that spreads across your face as you trail the pad of your thumb along the five words.
Your phone’s ringtone brings you from your mini sentimental moment, you expect it to be your boyfriend returning your call—but Heeseung’s name and picture are illuminating your screen. “Hello?”
“Can you call your boyfriend?”
“I tried a few minutes ago but I can try again, why? Is everything okay?” You here Heeseung sigh, then some muffled movements. “Hee?”
“He’s out in the rain, he won’t listen to any of us and he refuses to answer our calls.”
“Why is he outside?”
“He said he’s looking for something, a ring. I think,” you practically can picture Ni-ki as you squeeze you eyes shut. His clothes clinging to his skin, hair stuck to his forehead, all as he wanders the streets—hunched over.
“I’ll be right over,” you flick the light switch and head for where you left your shoes.
“You don’t have to, well figure it out.”
“No, I do Hee,” you sigh as you slip your shoes back into your feet. He thanks you for helping and hangs up, leaving you to your own guilt as you grab an umbrella and head for your boyfriend.
As you near the dorms your attention falls to every male that crosses your path, but once your eyes land on a hunched over figure—in a short-sleeved shirt, you know that ones yours. As you near him he continues his useless search, his eyes flickering across the ground as he slowly makes his away down the sidewalk. “Ni-ki,” you mutter—loud enough so he can hear you over the pattering rain. He glances up at you, his face pale and the tip of his nose red. “Let’s go inside,” you reach for his hand, but he pulls away.
“I have to find it. I know I said I’d buy you a new one, but I got thinking about what you said. It wouldn’t be the same, even with the engravings on it…” he pouts, raindrops dripping from his lip. “Go inside, I’ll be in soon.”
You chuckle softly, reaching for his hand again—this time he lets you take it. “Love, I found the ring. It was in my room,” he clutches your hand tighter and peers down at your fingers. “I’m so sorry you’ve been out here for nothing.”
“You found it,” he sighs in relief. “Oh darling you found it,” he smiles and brings your hand to his lips—they hover gently over the gold band.
“Let’s go inside, Ni-ki. Please,” he agrees to your begging with a nod.
You stood between Ni-ki’s thighs, your hands ruffling his hair with a towel Sunghoon had given to you. Ni-ki’s hands trail up and down the back of your thighs, his face titled upwards as he watches you work at his hair. “All done,” you smile as you lay the towel across the back of his shoulders. “Tea?” You whisper, he merely nods and follows you to the kitchen. He watches you with a look of awe as you take mugs from the cupboard and make him the warm beverage—just as he had early that day. He slinks towards you, wrapping his arms around your waist, nuzzling his face into your neck. You hum happily has he presses open mouthed kisses along the side of your neck, small pecks decorating your covered shoulder. “Finding a ring out in that chaos is practically impossible. You know that?”
“I love you tho,” he whispers into his your shirt—the one he had begged you to change into since the sweater you had been wearing had gotten wet. “I love you so much.”
“I love you my Riki,” you grin as you turn in his arms. “Awe baby,” you pout. “Your nose is still red,” your hands trail up the sides of his neck and cup his cheeks with that tenderness he adored. You tug his face downward, his soft gaze level with yours. “When you get sick I’ll take care of you.” Your lips pucker and meet the tip of his nose, he digs his teeth into his lip—holding back a giggle.
“When I get sick, I want you to baby me.” And now it is his turn to place a kiss along the tip of your nose.
“When you get sick? You want to be baby you everyday.”

XO (Only If You Say Yes) | NON IDOL!K.SUNOO x F!IDOL READER
Tumblr media
💬: 2Gays,2Straights,+Riki 🐥🌈
Descriptions of characters below ⬇️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CUPETTES (Q-Puh-Ettes) is a 4-member girl group under XOXO Label that debuted on February 14, 2022. The members consist of Sakura, Shuhua, Minjeong, and Y/n. They’re known for their angelic concept but recently began a new era unlike the one before. Their fandom name is WINX.
Y/N - The maknae of CUPETTES who’s a big fan of the figure skater Park Sunghoon. She acts like she’s delulu and feral for him but in actuality she’s not, she just likes annoying her Unnies. She knows Niki is friends with Sunghoon and was embarrassed about that fact when she let him into her private account, then she got over it since she liked making Niki cringe. She is a big fan of Sunghoon that is true but she amps up her inner Fangirl to troll her friends.
MINJEONG - The second youngest of CUPETTES and she’s in love with the YouTuber ‘ReallyJayPark’ she is delulu for him like Y/n is for Sunghoon but she’s being genuine. She is so down bad for a man who doesn’t even know her… or maybe he does know of her but you get it. Much like Y/n she too likes annoying her Unnies and subsequently Niki who is Jay’s friend. But Niki gatekeeps Jay from her and ignores all her begging to meet him because “it’s weird”, much to her disappointment. The little brat won’t even get her an autograph from Jay.
SHUHUA - The second oldest of CUPETTES and the unofficial leader of the group, since they don’t have one. She’s very outspoken and isn’t afraid to speak her mind which comes in handy when the girls might have little tiffs with their company. She’s also the biggest and truest girls girl through and through (when just she does know some girlies are wrong and need to chill). And she’s a raging lesbian who’s dating (g)-idle’s Soojin.
SAKURA - The oldest member of CUPETTES and a former member of the Produce48 girl group IZ*ONE. She’s the mother of the group and is always looking out for her little sisters, always making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well fed. She also makes sure they know she is someone they can lean on and go to for advice (she gives the best advice). She’s also very lesbian and in love with her best friend Lee Chaeyeon.
NI-KI (RIKI) - The 18-year-old choreographer for CUPETTES who’s actually been working with them since he was 16 going on 17. He’s extremely talented for his age, his family owns a dance studio and he’s been dancing ever since he could walk. Niki is a dancing prodigy, having came to Korea in 2020 to work with artists as a backup dancer and show off his choreography skills. He’s the best friend and little brother of the group, practically the 5th member.

Gracidea Blossom Chapter 1: It All Starts Naoe
(Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum x Little Busters!)
Mirror Links: AO3, Pokécommunity, Spacebattles

Tumblr media
Gentle strains of music float across Hearthome. Kricketune are singing on Route 212, and the music drifts in to harmonize with the chirping of Starly. This is what every morning sounds like in ‘the city where hearts touch each other.’
Sunlight filters through the window of an apartment at the southern end of town. Within is a bed, with a boy curled up in it. At his bedside is a small potted plant, a miniature tree with three yellow spots in front. It tapers off to three small branches on top, each sporting a green sphere on its end.
When the sunbeam crosses Riki’s eyes, his face wrinkles up and he blinks himself awake with a yawn.
A few minutes later, Riki steps through an open doorway into the apartment’s combination living room/kitchenette. He pulls a frozen breakfast out of the freezer, and it’s just as he’s finished setting the microwave to thaw it that the potted plant walks into the kitchenette on stubby brown legs.
“Morning, Sly,” Riki calls back to his Bonsly as he sets out a bowl of food for it. He turns back to the microwave to wait.
He’s halfway through his breakfast when he hears a noise pounding on the apartment’s door. Leaving his food at the counter, he opens the door to greet his best friend.
Masato Inohara is a tall, buff young man with blue eyes and spiky black hair. He’s wearing a red T-shirt and jeans, and a red bandanna is wrapped around his forehead.
“You’re finally up, Riki! Kengo and Rin have already gone to the park!”
“Already?” Riki glances at the clock hanging on the wall. It’s not moving. His face falls. “I forgot to set my clocks after yesterday’s power outage, didn’t I…”
“Ah, well!” Masato grins. “No use crying over a tipped Miltank!”
Riki pauses midway through throwing on a blue jacket. “…What?”
“It’s an idiom!”
“Masato, that’s crying over *spilled milk!*”
“What? When I asked, Kengo said I could use it that way! That bastard, he’s probably thinking ‘ha, that idiot Masato was stupid enough to think people cry about tipped Miltanks, and besides, he already makes a fool out of himself in front of everyone every day,’ isn’t he!”
“No, no, no, he probably just thought you meant spilled milk and told you what that meant instead…” Riki sighs as his friend works himself up into a misunderstanding. Well, that said, every day is certainly energetic…
Forgetting his half-eaten breakfast, Riki grabs a small cooler and calls for his Pokémon to follow him. The two humans and one Bonsly make their way out through the hall to the elevator. Buildings in Hearthome are built with ramps and elevators in place of stairs wherever possible, to make sure they’re accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, and small children and Pokémon alike. By the time they reach the ground floor and step outside, the sun is already high in the sky. The breeze is pleasantly warm as they make their way through Hearthome and to Amity Square’s eastern gate.
Masato pulls out a Pokéball. “Go! Biceps!” With a flash of light, a Machamp is filling the available space of the passage. It’s a large, humanoid Pokémon with grey skin, yellow frills on its head and a yellow beak, a championship belt around its hips, and four muscular arms. “You ready to take a walk?”
*Fweeeet!* A whistle blows, and the gate attendant steps in front of them. “You know the rules! Machamp isn’t a permitted Pokémon in the square!”
“That’s unfair! Amity Square is for cute Pokémon, and my Biceps is plenty cute!” At that the Machamp strikes a pose, one arm up on either side and the other down, muscles bulging. “Look, Riki! Don’t you agree? Aren’t those the cutest muscles in the entire world?”
*No, by all accounts, you’re the one who’s being unreasonable…* Riki chuckles sheepishly, sweating under the attendant’s disapproval. “Masato, you know that’s just the phrasing they use… Biceps is a big Pokémon, you know? Even though he’d never hurt anybody, the park still has to make sure that only small and weak Pokémon are around, in case little kids provoke them…”
Man and Machamp sigh in unison, and Masato withdraws his Pokémon with a flash of red. “Ugh… Why do you have to be so reasonable, Riki? Fine! We’ll just have to get in our exercise later, I guess!”
Riki bows a hasty apology to the attendant as they pass into the park. Amity Square’s eastern entrance leads up to an elevated rocky area looking down on the western half of the park. Several small structures modeled after ancient ruins are available for children to play in. Up a few ramps at the far side of the area, a young man in a blue hakama is making training swings with a bamboo sword. He has white hair and a serious expression. Several children are watching him, fascinated.
“*KENGOOOOOOOO!*” With a roar, Masato runs at him, Riki following behind in a panic to stop his friends from fighting. “You told me I could use ‘no use crying over a tipped Miltank’ to mean that what’s done is done! I just made a fool out of myself in front of Riki because of you!”
“Hmph.” Kengo plants his training sword in the ground and turns to face Masato. “I thought you meant ‘no use crying over spilled milk,’ so I just told you what *that* means.” Riki sighs in relief. “But I suppose you really are stupid enough to think people cry over tipped Miltanks. And besides, you already make a fool of yourself in front of Riki every day, don’t you?”
“*THAT’S IT!* I thought you’d say that, Kengoooo! Why don’t you say it to my muscles?”
“If it’s a battle you want, it’s a battle you’ll get!” Kengo pulls a Pokéball out of his hakama, but before he can throw it a shrill whistle pierces the air.
“*Kengo Miyazawa, Masato Inohara, you two KNOW no Pokémon battles are allowed in the park!*” The gate attendant glares at them from her post, a megaphone in her hand.
“…Yes, ma’am. Sorry, ma’am.” Abashed, Kengo turns away from the gate to resume his exercises.
“Tch. I guess you get to put it off this time. But next time we battle, I’m gonna take you down for sure!” Masato grunts in acquiescence, then drops to the ground and starts doing situps.
“You said that the last time you challenged me, too.”
Satisfied that his friends have been defused, Riki looks around the park. “Hey, Kengo? Have you seen Rin?”
“Hm? She’s down on the east side, like always.”
“Ehehe, of course…” With a sheepish chuckle, Riki waves goodbye to the pair of muscle idiots, and ducks into the nearest ‘ruin.’ In the back, there’s a ramp leading down into a series of small tunnels which connect all of the structures. Riki turns left, and makes his way to a ramp leading back up to a hut on the western side of the park. As he emerges, he hears a girl’s voice seemingly holding up one end of a conversation.
“Oh! Are you trying to learn Copycat? You can do it, Tezuka! Audrey is showing you how!”
Meowww.
“Wait… but… You’re already a cat, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you know Copycat already? You probably copy other cats all the time…”
Meow?
“Do you actually know it? Have you been holding out on me?” The voice takes on a shocked tone.
Meow…
Quietly, Riki peers out of the stone hut. A short ways away, playing with a multitude of cat Pokémon, is Rin Natsume. She’s a girl with red eyes and a brown ponytail. She’s wearing a pair of jeans ripped off at her calves, and a white shirt with pink striped sleeves. A small bell is attached to the thin white ribbon holding her hair back, and it jingles softly every time she moves her head. Perched on her shoulder is a Chingling, a round yellow Pokémon with a growth like a striped rope on top of its head. Rin makes a suspicious face at a Meowth crouched on all fours in front of her.
“You would tell me if you knew Copycat, right?”
Miaoww…
Evidently satisfied, Rin peers into the gold coin on the Meowth’s forehead. “Are you proud of your coin? Do you polish it every day?”
Meow.
“Woah! That’s amazingly dedicated! Super… no, duper-duper dedicated!” Rin scratches the Meowth behind its ears, making it purr. A Skitty nudges its head into Rin’s arm, and suddenly cat Pokémon are climbing all over her. “W-woah! Hold on! I can’t pet all of you at once!”
*I’ve probably waited long enough…* Smiling to himself, Riki steps out of his shelter.
“Are the cats happy?”
“Wah! Riki! I’m— I’m not playing! I was… scolding these cats! Yes, Tezuka, you’ve been very bad! (whew, that was a close save!)” Although Riki can hear her muttering to herself, he decides not to press.
“Right… Well, I brought sandwiches, so I just wanted to let you know where to find them once you get hungry. I’m going to go sit by the pond for a while, okay?”
“Mm.” Rin nods and turns back to the cats. At this point, Rin is such a fixture in Amity Square that Riki wouldn’t be surprised should it turn out she’s disrupting natural migration patterns. He’s pretty sure that Espurr were an invasive species in Sinnoh before they started flocking to Hearthome…
Leaving Rin and the cats behind, Riki and Sly cross a wooden bridge to the small island in the middle of the pond. He gives Sly a boost, straining to lift the Rock-type, and then sits down next to it on a raised stone outcropping. He looks across the water at Rin, then raises his gaze to watch Masato and Kengo trying to outdo each other in their respective martial exercises. He smiles. As long as he has this, he’ll be okay.
—-
Years ago…
…Riki’s life had been clouded in shadow. After the accident that killed his parents, he had retreated into himself, giving up on the outside world. If living meant feeling this loss, then he would rather close himself off and not feel anything. If remembering his parents meant sinking into this pit, he would rather know nothing at all. He’d spent every day trying to hide from the pain, without the will to move forward. His guardian had moved to Hearthome with him, hoping the city would help him open back up, but even then he still spent every day in a haze.
And then, one day…
…A boy had appeared in front of him, and reached out a hand to pull him up.
“My name is Kyousuke Natsume. What’s yours?”
“…Riki Naoe…”
“Come with me, Riki! We need you to add your strength to ours!”
“Huh…?” Riki had raised his head, confused.
Kyousuke had pulled him to where three other kids were waiting; Rin, Masato, and Kengo. He’d explained that they were trying to capture an invasive hive of Beedrill before it could damage the local ecosystem.
“My teacher said if Beedrill get a foothold in Sinnoh, they’ll drive away Combee hives!”
“But— what are *you* going to do about it?”
“Don’t underestimate us!” Kyousuke had thumped his chest with a grin. “The four of us are allies of justice who fight evil - we’re called the Little Busters! Together, we can take on any opponent!”
The children gathered and threw Pokéballs at the hive until a swarm of Beedrill finally came out, yellow bee Pokémon nearly as tall as they were, with black stripes on their thoraxes and massive stingers on their arms. It was then that Masato had made a desperate play, smearing himself with honey to lure them away from the hive. “The rest is up to you!”
Realizing the danger, Kyousuke’s Pichu had jumped off of his shoulder at the swarm and shot sparks all around it, electrocuting the pursuing Beedrill… and Masato with them. “Gaaaaah! That’s not the help I wanted!” Watching as a scorched Masato berated Kyousuke, Riki had finally broken down and laughed - and found the other Little Busters laughing with him.
In the end, they had weakened the Beedrill enough for adults to notice and come remove the hive. What’s more, one of the Beedrill had attached itself to Masato after eating the honey off of his shirt, and he’d been allowed to keep it - with a strict promise to never train it without supervision.
Since that morning, every day had been filled with life. The Little Busters came up with all sorts of tiny adventures, from cleaning a pool in return for a day of sole access, to climbing the spire of Hearthome’s cathedral. Laughing and playing together with his friends, the pain in Riki’s heart had become more bearable, until slowly, almost without his realizing it, it had vanished behind the boisterous fun of being with them.
Now…
…Riki Naoe’s only wish is for these days to go on forever.
——
“Yo, Riki.” A familiar voice breaks Riki out of his reverie. It’s already dark out. He looks around before finally catching sight of Kyousuke standing on the island, his hand raised in a lazy wave. Riki’s face splits into a wide grin.
“Kyousuke! Your trip is over? Oh, wait, I need to go get the others!” He turns and runs deeper into the park. “Hey! Masato! Kengo! Rin! Come on, Kyousuke’s back!”
“Kyousuke’s back?” Masato looks over with a grin, and hops down the short cliff dividing the east end of the park from the west. Rin stands up, sending a rain of cat Pokémon tumbling off of her, and Kengo emerges from a stone ‘ruin’ a few moments later, having chosen a more dignified method of transport.
Masato pumps his fist. “Good to have you back, Kyousuke!”
Riki nods. “Yeah, we’ve missed you! How was your trip?”
Kyousuke chuckles and gives a thumbs-up. “Mission Complete!”
“So what’s next, then? What should we all do this week?”
“Ah…” A bead of sweat runs down Kyousuke’s face. “About that… I can’t actually stay for long. I have to go on another trip in a couple of days.”
Riki’s face falls. “Again? But Kyousuke, you were gone for a month already!”
Kengo puts a hand on Riki’s shoulder. “Riki… being Sinnoh’s Champion is a big responsibility. You know that Kyousuke can’t blow it off just to spend time with us.”
“But…!” Riki looks between Kengo and Masato, who doesn’t meet his eyes. “Why aren’t either of you backing me up? He’s your friend too…”
“Riki, you didn’t let me finish.”
“Huh?”
Kyousuke fixes Riki with a serious gaze. “I have to go on another trip... but this time, I wasn't planning to go alone."
"Oh..." Riki shrinks in on himself. "So... You need Masato and Kengo to go with you too, this time...?"
"Not just them," Kyousuke cuts in before Riki can continue. "I want everyone to come with me - you and Rin, too."
“Eeeh? You... really want us to come along?” Riki glances at Rin, who looks as uncertain as he feels. “But you've never taken me or Rin with you on Champion business before! I mean… If it lets us all stay together then of course I’ll go, but… won’t we just slow you down?”
Kyousuke shakes his head. “Not necessarily. I believe that you and Rin can become capable Trainers.”
“Trainers? Wait, no, we could never be as good as you, Kyousuke!”
“Riki. Even with me, Masato, and Kengo protecting you, accidents can still happen on the road. If you and Rin want to come with me, you have to be able to take care of yourselves. Your Bonsly and Rin’s Chingling won’t be enough on their own. Rin, catch.” In a smooth motion, he tosses a Pokéball at his sister in a gentle underhand. Rin scrambles to catch it with a yelp, but when she glares at him he just grins. “In that Pokéball is a cat Pokémon from Alola called Litten. Your big brother crossed oceans and mountains to secure it for you, facing down giant Pokémon and inhospitable—”
“Shut up, idiot, you just called in a favor or something.”
“Gkh—!” Kyousuke flinches.
*Looks like Rin got it in one. Well, even so…* Riki glances at Rin, who is clutching the Pokéball protectively despite her harsh words. *At least she seems happy.*
Kyousuke rallies. “As for Riki, I have a choice of Pokémon for you.” He takes out a pair of Pokéballs this time, holding one in each hand. He raises the Pokéball in his left hand. “First is Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon. It’s a fast swimmer, and evolves into a Water and Steel-type Pokémon which can slice apart ice floes with its wings.” He lowers his left hand, and holds up his right instead. “Your other choice is Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Its shell is made of hardened soil, and it evolves into a Grass and Ground-type that shelters smaller Pokémon on its back.” He makes a grand sweeping gesture with both arms, or at least as much of one as he can manage while gripping a Pokéball in each hand. “The adventures I went through to retrieve these Pokémon are too grand for—”
“You told Professor Rowan it was for Riki, so he handed them over,” Rin retorts. Riki looks away at the mention of the Pokémon Professor.
Kyousuke droops, an aura of gloom falling over his eyes. “…Right. That.” For such a competent and energetic Trainer, he can be surprisingly childish when he doesn’t get his way…
“W-wait, no! This is just what I wanted!” Riki rushes up to Kyousuke and grabs a Pokéball out of one hand, throwing it in front of him. The Pokéball bursts open with a loud noise and a flash of red light, which resolves into the shape of a small tortoise on all fours. The light clears to reveal that the Turtwig is covered in green scales, with yellow splotches on its feet and a yellow lower jaw. It has a brown shell on its back, and a sprout with two leaves grows from another patch of soil on its head. “See? I’m really happy to be given a Turtwig!”
“Really? Even with what Rin said?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Then you’ll go with me?”
“I’ll do it!”
“Yahoo!” Any trace of his former sulk is gone as Kyousuke shouts with a boyish grin. “Alright then, you should get to know your Turtwig while Rin meets her Pokémon. Oh, by the way, Turtwig is a girl, while Litten and Piplup are boys.”
Riki crouches down to pet the Turtwig while Kyousuke moves on. Its scales are cool and firm to the touch, and when Riki experimentally pats its shell, he’s surprised to find that it feels moist. He looks up while Turtwig headbutts his palm affectionately. A short ways away, Kyousuke is showing Rin the proper form for releasing a Pokémon. She nods with a quiet jingle, winds up, and as her arm sails forward to release the Pokéball, the ball vanishes.
There is an “OWW!” and the sound of a Pokémon leaving its ball, and the group all turns to see Masato lying on the ground with a Litten standing on his face. Unlike most of its species, the Litten’s fur is white except for its whiskers and lower jaw, rings around its legs, and a vertical stripe in the middle of its forehead which branches into two horizontal stripes, all of which are red.
Kengo speaks up, impressed. “You got your hands on a shiny one?”
“I *did* say I went to lengths,” says Kyousuke, preening. “That said, Rin, we’re going to have to work on your control.” He turns to his sister, but she’s not listening, already following the Litten as it hops off of Masato’s face and trots a few paces away.
Rin sits down and offers her fingers for the cat Pokémon to sniff. After a moment, it rubs up against her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, um…” She looks up, uncertain. “He needs a name. What to call him…” Riki turns back to his Turtwig as Rin considers. He should probably give this one a name, too. He watches as it and Sly investigate each other, and pats the base of the sprout on its head, feeling the dampness of the soil.
“Alright, then. It’s nice to meet you, Terra.” The Turtwig looks back at him and cocks its head. “That’s your name now, okay? Terra.”
“Kyousuke, help… I can’t think of any more names…” Rin’s voice makes Riki look up again. She seems genuinely distraught. Well, that’s only natural, when she’s named every cat Pokémon she’s come across for as long as Riki’s known her…
“Hm… Well, a proper name for a Pokémon is important. Alright then, I’ll name him for you. Litten, from now on you’ll be called…” Kyousuke makes a dramatic flourish at the cat. “…Lennon!”
Riki meets Kengo’s eyes as the latter suppresses a groan. For all the fuss he’s making about names, Kyousuke always just names his Pokémon after famous people.
“Now then, let’s get back to business.” Kyousuke clears his throat. “I’ve also brought some empty Pokéballs for you. You should make sure you put Santa and Sly in the first ones. Most of the time, you’ll only want to have one Pokémon out when traveling, and sometimes it’s better to have all of them in their balls.” He hands Riki and Rin five Pokéballs each. Rin holds one up to her shoulder, and after waiting a moment to see that Santa doesn’t back away, she taps the Chingling with the button on front and it disappears into red light. Riki does the same for his Bonsly. “And finally, a Pokédex for each of you.” He opens a slim black bag and pulls out an orange rectangle with a clamshell design. The left side of the Pokédex has a round protrusion coming out of the side, with a camera in the center. He hands it to Riki before pulling out a second one and giving it to Rin.
Riki flips his Pokédex open, revealing two screens. A D-Pad sits in the middle of the round protrusion on the bottom half, while the top half has a speaker in the same place. He presses the power button next to the bottom screen, and the screens light up. A smaller protrusion pops out of the right side of the Pokédex, with a rotary touch pad on it and a green circle in the center. The screen guides him through a setup process, then opens to a blank list.
“The Pokédex has a camera function to automatically record data on Pokémon you see, but you can also register one that you’ve caught for more information by holding up the Pokéball to that green lens.” Kyousuke shows Riki how to line up Sly’s Pokéball with the lens, and Bonsly’s information fills itself in on the screen. Riki withdraws Terra and registers its information while Kyousuke moves on to help Rin with the setup. “When the Pokédex is closed, it will turn off the screens to conserve power, so you should be able to maintain the battery life as long as you don’t forget to charge it whenever you’re sleeping indoors. As long as the camera can see from wherever you keep it, it will still register the Pokémon you encounter.”
Riki flips the Pokédex closed and pushes the protrusion with the lens and touch pad back into its protective casing. After a moment’s consideration, he slips the Pokédex into a breast pocket, with the camera just sticking out on top. “Then… When will we have to leave?”
“In two days,” Kyousuke says. “I was figuring tomorrow we can just relax and do something fun, and then we’ll help the two of you prepare for the trip before we set out.”
“Alright, then!” Masato slams his fist into his palm. “Now we get to the *fun* part! You two ready to start training?”
Kengo looks from Riki, stifling a yawn, to Rin, staring at her Pokédex like it’s a foreign language, to his Pokétch, proudly displaying the time as ‘12:00’. He puts a hand on Masato’s shoulder. “Maybe that should wait for tomorrow.”
By now, the park is totally empty except for them and the night-shift attendants. Kyousuke chuckles sheepishly. “Ah… right. Then let’s reconvene in the morning.”
As the friends file out of Amity Square, Riki glances back for a moment. It’s looking like he might not see it again for a while, but that’s fine. Where he is has never been what’s important to him. He looks at his friends again, Masato and Kengo playfully arguing over which will be the better teacher as Kyousuke and Rin stride ahead. As long as he can stay with the four of them, that’s all that matters.

Synopsis:
Riki Naoe lost his parents as a child, and fell deep into despair. He was saved by a group of kids who called themselves the Little Busters: Kyousuke Natsume, Masato Inohara, Kengo Miyazawa, and Rin Natsume. They took him and played at being heroes who fought tireless evil around them.
Riki discovered endless joy in spending time with his new friends, even though the group was silly and their missions tended to end in failure. Over time, it washed away his loneliness and suffering. Years later, the whole gang was attending the same school, and Riki became a second-year.
They were still as silly as ever and spent their youth following Kyousuke's silly ideas.

Gracidea Blossom Chapter 7: In The Town of Incessant Rain

Meow?
“You can do it, Lennon! Reach for the stars!”
Meow!
With a determined cry, Lennon pounces at its target, white fur shining under bright ceiling-mounted lights. Its ambitions are frustrated as the fluffy toy jolts out of its way, leaving the Litten to hit the floor on the other side empty-pawed. With an agile hop, it turns to look for its prey.
“Keep going! Only by believing in yourself can you grow into a proper warrior!” Rin waves the toy - a simple stick with white fluff modeled after a Minccino’s furry, white-tipped tail on one end - and brings it back down into her Pokémon’s sights. Lennon makes another attempt to catch the toy, and yet another as Rin leads it on a merry chase around the room.
At the moment, they’re inhabiting a small side room in a Pokémon Center, one of several set aside for Trainers to battle or train their Pokémon. The ubiquitous Pokémon Center Theme can still be heard filtering in from the main rooms of the building, but it’s quiet enough to blend with the sound of rain pounding down on the roof and the roads outside.
After their meal, Rin had brought her and Riki’s Pokémon to be healed while Riki and Kengo ran for a store to grab more than a single umbrella’s worth of rain gear for the group. Masato vanished to who knows where for his muscle training and Kyousuke went to get a start on his advertising gig, leaving Rin to her own devices. After waiting a short while for the Pokémon to be returned in full health, she retreated to the training room to let them stretch their legs.
MEOWWW! Lennon cries triumphantly as it finally snags the Pokémon toy out of Rin’s hand with a flying tackle.
“Woah!” Rin’s jaw drops when she realized what happened. “Well done, Lennon! Could it be you’ve become a proper warrior already?” Lennon preens, only to hiss in surprise as the ground yaws beneath it. It scrabbles with its claws, finding no traction in moist soil as Terra dumps it off from where it had landed on the Turtwig’s back. Terra snaps at the cat Pokémon indignantly.
Lennon bristles, and starts to circle the Turtwig before being cut off by a sharp “No!” It looks back at its trainer, who continues, “I’m watching Terra and Sly until Riki gets back. You’re not allowed to fight them.” A minute passes, the Litten withering under Rin’s stare, until it finally gives up and slinks back to her side. “Good kitty.” Lennon arches its head up into Rin’s palm as she pets it. “Oh? Do you want a treat?”
Nya.
“You want some Mon petit?”
Nyaa!
“You’ve already had some today. You shouldn’t eat too much between lunch and supper, or you’ll get a bellyache.”
Nyaaa…
Rin shakes her head. “I’ll give you this, instead. You diddo well today, after all.” Smiling brightly, Rin pulls out a plastic container full of small, colourful cubes. She places a red one in the middle of her palm, offering it to the cat. Lennon sniffs the candy block and then laps it up, tickling Rin’s hand in the process. “You too, Santa. Come here.” This time, the Pokéblock she offers is pink, and the Chingling looks up from the other side of the room where it has Sly wrapped up in its tendrils. It lets go, (Riki’s Bonsly looks relieved at the release from its cuddling,) and wanders over. After a couple of tries, it gets its jaw around the Pokéblock and jingles happily at the sweetness.
Rin slips the rest of the Pokéblocks back into her bag. They’re not all that easy to find in Sinnoh, so she has a limited stock until her brother takes another trip to Hoenn. There are Poffins, of course, but… She glances at Santa as it tries to crunch down on its treat. When it comes down to how cute her Pokémon look eating them, Pokéblocks win every time!
“Hm?” Rin becomes aware of a gaze fixed on her, and turns to see Riki’s Pokémon staring balefully. “Ah…”
Terra blinks, first with one eye, then the other.
“I really shouldn’t… I mean, you’re Riki’s Pokémon, and he might have his own plans…”
Sly looks like it’s on the verge of tears.
Rin folds. “…Okay, fine. It’s our secret, alright?” She fumbles in her bag to pull out a couple more Pokéblocks, glances both ways to confirm nobody’s watching, and slips them to the Pokémon. “You’re not allowed to tell Riki, got it?”
Terra crushes one of the blocks with its beak.
“Woah!” A tugging sensation on her clothes draws Rin’s gaze back to Lennon, who is trying to climb her like a tree. One of its claws goes a little too deep, and nicks her skin for a moment. “Aah!” She jolts, and the Litten flops to the ground in surprise. “You have to be more careful, Lennon! People aren’t as tough as you are!” She pauses. “…Well, Masato might be.”
Meow~ Lennon rolls back and forth on the floor.
“You’re really brimming with energy today.” Rin watches Lennon roll around her in a clumsy loop. “Are you trying to tell me something?”
Roll… Roll…
“Did you have that much fun battling?”
Lennon comes to a stop once it’s right-side up and meows at her.
“What about you, Santa?”
The Chingling bounces up and down, its bell sounding every time it pushes off the ground.
“Hmm. Well, I’ll tell you a secret, then.” Rin leans in close to her Pokémon, and whispers, “I did, too!” She deftly lifts Santa into her lap, and runs her hands along its rope-like appendages. It cuddles up closer to her in pleasure, and she pats the smooth top of its bell.
“Hmmm…” Rin plops her chin on one hand and hums to herself, deep in thought. “Hmmmmmmmmmmm…” Her head tilts slowly to the side as she thinks, approaching a 90 degree angle. Once her head hits 45 degrees, she straightens up. “I’ve got it!”
Lennon sits and looks up at her, tail swishing on the floor.
Rin nods, filled with self-satisfaction. “Tomorrow, I’ll ask Riki to battle me!”
——
“I still don’t understand why I have to do this…”
The next morning brings with it the hustle and bustle of the big city. Businesspeople dash to their places of work, some with bagels dangling from their mouths. Children rush to their schools, chatting with friends as they do. Nearly everybody is carrying rain gear of some kind - while the rain let up overnight, the skies above the city are still cloudy and threatening.
Although the crowds disquiet Rin, she nonetheless pushes through, dragging Riki behind her until they near Jubilife TV. Across the street from the TV station, set smack-dab in the center of the city, is a refreshing spot of green that stands out amidst Jubilife’s rocky greys.
“It’s so we can fight,” Rin responds matter-of-factly. “Masato, Kengo, and Kyousuke are all too strong for a real match. If I want to battle someone, it has to be you.”
It’s not much compared to Amity Square, but Jubilife’s sole park - boasting wide stretches of grass, a fountain, and even several trees all scattered around a path dotted with benches - remains a popular spot for elders and children who want to be amidst living things without venturing into the wilder routes outside the city. Rin pulls her friend past several benches until they reach a dirt battlefield in the shade of the massive Global Terminal building.
“No, no, no, that doesn’t follow at all,” Riki sighs. “First of all, nobody said we’re the only Trainers in the world! I’m sure you could find someone who wants to battle at the Trainer School or the GTS!”
Rin glances behind her at the building in question. It’s a huge, multi-story cone of glass and steel, with a tower on the roof pointing satellite dishes in every direction. Originally called the Global Trade Station - the first in the world, Kyousuke once told her with a gleam of patriotism - over the years it grew beyond its original purpose as a glorified signal-booster allowing interregional Pokémon trades and became a general all-purpose gathering point for the region’s Trainers to communicate with both each other and their counterparts in distant lands. Even as far away as she is, Rin still gets the impression of hundreds - maybe thousands - of strangers crowding within, all shouting over each other, their shadows twisting and merging into a multi-headed beast—
The hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. “Of course I can’t do that, dumbass!”
Riki steps back, hands in front of him placatingly. Whatever further arguments he was going to present die on his lips. “Okay, okay… I’m sorry. Still, are you sure you’re alright not being able to talk to strangers? You’ll have to manage on your own someday, won’t you?”
Rin shakes her head. “You and Kyousuke will be there,” she says simply.
“Ah…” Riki doesn’t seem to have anything to say to that. In lieu of further debate, Rin points her Pokéball at the ground in front of her and presses the button on front, causing it to shoot out a red beam that materializes into Lennon. Riki gives up and throws his own Pokéball, his eyes widening as Terra appears across from the fire cat. Lennon darts for its opponent, and Riki fumbles with his belt. “Crap! Terra, return! Go, Sly!”
“Lennon, use Lick!” Rin seizes on the opening without remorse, and her Litten lashes the Bonsly with its tongue before the Pokémon can get its bearings. “Now Roar!” Sly is still staggering back when Lennon lets out an intimidating yowl, and before Riki can react his Pokémon is hiding behind his legs.
“Sly—“ Riki grimaces, and after a moment he sends Terra back out into battle. The turtle Pokémon has no choice but to take an Ember attack head-on upon reentry, but it shakes it off and lumbers forward. “T— Terra, use Tackle!” With a determined cry, the Turtwig plows through a second Ember to ram into Lennon, sending the cat stumbling back. Lennon jumps out of the way before it can take a second attack, and readies another Ember, but both combatants are flagging. A third Ember should be enough to finish Terra off, but… its physical attacks are strong enough that it might be able to take Lennon out if it gets luck— “Come back, Terra! Sly, I’m counting on you!”
Rin clicks her tongue in frustration as Riki backs off, and switches Sly into an ineffective Ember attack. Even if the Bonsly has a better type matchup, Terra’s been weakened enough at this point that it won’t be able to recover from the tempo loss of switching back in. No matter how she tries to push, the spark she felt the previous day just won’t come. Riki is all over himself with hesitation and openings; she doesn’t feel an ounce of fighting spirit from him. “Charge him, Lennon!” Lennon darts for Sly, as Rin bets it all on getting in closer than Rock Throw’s effective range.
“Sly, use R— I mean--“ Riki hesitates just a moment too long. “Er, use Flail!” Paralyzed by its trainer’s indecision, Sly takes Lennon’s Lick attack before it can retaliate. The Litten goes down, but before Rin can switch in Santa to finish the job, she’s interrupted by what sounds like thunder rolling.
“WHAT THE HELL IS THIIIIIIIIIIS!” Rin clamps her hands over her ears and screws her eyes shut at the explosive shout. When the noise dies down, she takes in the sight of a tall, wiry old man in a green robe. His mustache, goatee, and spiky hair have all gone white with age, and he’s glaring at the two of them with brown eyes. “JUST WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT DISPLAY?”
“…A Pokémon Battle?” Riki cocks his head at the old man.
“Pah! I’ve fought better Pokémon Battles than that in my sleep,” The aggressive geezer growls. “I’ve seen Pokémon Coordinatorswith more aggression than you, kid! And as for you!” He wheels on Rin, who steps back involuntarily.
Before he can advance any further, she settles on a preemptive strike! She bristles and shouts at him, “Nobody asked you, old man!”
The geezer explodes again. “WHO’S AN OLD MAAAAAAAAAN!?” His eyes flash with anger, and his shout echoes around the park. As though in response, the clouds burst open and rain begins to pour down once again. Quivering under the huge stranger’s shout, Rin kicks into fight or flight mode, and miserably succumbs to her only option.
“Rin! Wait up!”
She runs away.
——
Rin presses her back against the wall of a building, half-sheltered from the rain by the lip of the roof. Her breathing is slowing down again now that she’s gotten away safely, but… she’s traded in for a new problem instead. She’s lost and alone in the big city, surrounded by people she doesn’t know. Even now, strangers with ponchos and umbrellas rush up and down the street, causing Rin to flinch back whenever one passes too close. Occasionally a member of the faceless mass slows, as though debating whether to approach her, but they always pick up their pace when she hisses at them.
“Rin! Thank goodness, I finally found you… Are you okay?”
Rin jumps at the sudden voice calling out to her, and glances around wildly. Her body tenses up, ready to make one last desperate attack… and then she recognizes the voice as coming from Riki, standing in front of her with an umbrella. The pent-up energy transfers to her voice as she speaks a little too quickly. “I-I’m fine!”
“Are you sure? You looked kind of—“
“I said I’m fine!” Rin glares at her friend, daring him to contradict her.
“Ah… Alright…” Riki blinks first, averting his gaze. After fidgeting for a moment, he hands Rin a folded-up umbrella. “Oh, right. By the way, you dropped this.”
“O-oh. Thanks, Riki.” As she falls back into a familiar routine, Rin slowly relaxes. She unfolds her umbrella - courtesy of Riki and Kengo’s shopping trip - and steps back out into the rain. “…I guess we should meet back up with the others.”
Riki falls into step with her as she turns back towards the hostel where Kyousuke arranged for them to stay. “You’re not going to say we need to finish that battle?” he asks.
Rin just shakes her head. “No point.” The scary old man was right about one thing - she’s certain, now. She’s not going to get the challenge she wants from Riki.
“I see…” From the look on his face, Riki clearly doesn’t see, but he follows along nonetheless. Rin continues to glance around warily, some instinctual part of her still convinced that an enemy is going to accost her. In the end, however, she and Riki encounter nothing but puddles and thunder-cracks as they walk through the sodden city.
——
“You want us to what?” Masato’s jaw drops.
Rin stares at him unblinkingly. “Help me train,” she repeats, brooking no argument.
“Well someone’s had a change of heart. Didn’t we have to bribe you the last time we wanted you to learn something? Why the sudden change?” Kengo drums his fingers on his arm.
Rin had wasted no time in making her demands when she and Riki arrived back at the hostel. She’s not sure what’s so hard to understand about it. “I just want to. Riki’s not enough to give me an interesting battle -” she ignores his halfhearted ‘Hey!’ - “so I need to try something else.”
“Hmm. Well, I guess that’s reasonable…” Kengo plows over Riki’s murmur of ‘You too…?’ to give Rin a nod, but Masato interrupts him.
“Woah, woah, hold on! After all the trouble she gave us, Rin gets to just plow in here and demand our help like it’s a given?” Masato frowns and crosses his arms. “Shouldn’t we at least make some demands of our own?”
Rin glares at him. “Like what?”
Masato thinks for a minute, face scrunching up further and further. Finally, he gives a defeated shrug. “Heck if I know. Ugh, now I’ve got a headache…”
Rin looks on with naked awe. “What an idiot!”
“Uwoooh! At least don’t call me that when you’re asking for my help!” Masato covers his face with his hands and lets out a groan of utter despair.
Rin places her hands on her hips. She can’t help but feel that they’d strayed from the main point. “Anyways, help me train!”
“No, he’s got a point…” Kengo scratches his chin. “You really should be polite if you’re asking a favor.”
“Ugh…” Rin grimaces. The conversation is going off the rails, fast. She looks to Riki for support.
“…I’m sorry, Rin.” Riki shrugs helplessly. “It is important to know how to ask for help properly…”
Rin groans. She glances around, as though something in her surroundings would grant her an escape route.
The world is not so accommodating.
Finally, she clenches her fists, screws up her determination, and shouts, “Please, train me!”
She hears Masato’s astonished voice. “Woah… Did Rin actuallyjust ask us nicely…?”
Her eyes still closed, Rin half-bows to her friends. She’s certain that with this, she and her Pokémon will be able to battle and grow closer. This is how her story begins. “Please, help me get stronger so I can challenge the Gym!”
