#i think maybe i can use a flygon as the trainer's partner along with sandaconda? idk

[trustyalt]

Ok so slowly I've been shiny hatching for a ground specialist run

I have mudbray and just hatched drilbur, but I can't decide what to have as the 6th member

Im trying to decide between flygon and turtonator. Yes I know turt isn't ground but it fits thematically, and I really need that type spread. Otherwise grass and ice is going to make them all explode. On the other hand I love flygon and I want to incorporate flygon/sandaconda patterns in my trainer OC's design 🤔

Why do y'all think

[gameimagines]

Just gotta start this off saying that I’m glad I found your blog ‘cause it’s great and so is your writing. Like, I could probably keep reading everything over and over it’s that great Anyways, may I request something with Raihan (from pkmn sw/sh) with an s/o that has a Frosmoth and a Hatterene that are sweet and nice and friendly while their trainer is around but once the Reader’s back is turned their massive mischievous comes out with Raihan and his dragons?

Raihan dealing with s/o mischievous Pokémon

The first time you show Raihan your Pokémon, he’s pumped. It’s no secret that the gym leader loves Pokémon, he’s excited to see what your team is and ya know maybe, just maybeeeeee ask to battle them. (Spoiler: it’s a definitely)

First, you throw out Frosmoth. Raihan’s impressed with the beautiful bug. Not everyone is able to evolve Snom, it takes a lot of love and patience. Plus, you must have experienced some harsh winter conditions to find one.

Next comes Hatterene and Raihan cannot help himself from making a comment about your two Pokémon being dragon killers.

“Didn’t know you wanted to show me up in type advantage, love.” He’s totally kidding, he has a few different types on his team, but he isn’t called the “tamer of dragons” for nothing.

Although, when Raihan says it he notices a subtle, devious look in your Hatterene’s eyes. Maybe he’s just imagining it.

One day you and Raihan go out to a park in Hammerlocke for a picnic, Raihan can make some solid sandwiches and it’s nice to let your Pokémon out to play. Hatterene is getting along surprisingly well with Raihan’s team. However, it looks like Flygon is pretty distrustful of Frosmoth.

You have use the restroom so you tell Raihan to watch your “babies” while you’re gone. He assures you it’s no problem.

Well, he thought it was going to be no problem. The second, your back is turned Frosmoth flaps a very light dusting of icy wind towards Flygon. In response, Flygon snarls but the move wasn’t strong enough to cause any real damage - just discomfort. So the dragon type sulks over to Raihan for comfort.

“Hey now, Frosmoth. Let’s place nice, alright?” Raihan tries to reprimand but Frosmoth simply coos at him, looking so pleased with itself. Raihan thinks that’s the end of it but a few minutes later, Goodra is whining for more food. Which is strange, because Raihan just filled up a bowl for Goodra.

Meanwhile, Hatterene has a smudge of curry (which looks suspiciously similar to the spicy potato curry prepared for Goodra and not at all like the sour apple curry prepared for Hatterene) on the corner of its mouth. Raihan narrows his eyes, “you didn’t eat Goodra’s food, did you, Hatterene?”

Hatterene doesn’t respond. It just stares Raihan down as it wipes it’s mouth with the back of it’s claw.

Raihan always knew fairy types weren’t as innocent as they look.

Soon enough you’re back and Raihan doesn’t want to seem petty so when you ask how everything went, he says it went fine.

But this isn’t an isolated incident. Every time you leave your Pokémon in his care, they find someway to mess with him or his team. Hatterene will snatch his headband off his head, Frosmoth will freeze the dragons’ food, Hatterene will use psychic to levitate things out of reach, etc.

Raihan tries to casually bring up your Pokémon’s impish behavior but you don’t really believe him. You’ve seen your two teammates interact with Raihan and his team before, and it’s nothing but friendly. Although, you promise (somewhat half heartedly) to keep an eye out for any mischief the duo might cause.

Until one day, you catch them in the act. You’re at the Wyndon stadium after one of Raihan’s matches. Almost everyone has left so your Pokémon are running around freely on the turf. Some strangler interviewer asks if he can shoot you some questions and you agree. Your back is turned for no more than ten minutes before the interviewer informs you of the situation. “Are those-” the press guy stifles a laugh, “are those your Pokémon?”

When you turn around you catch sight of Hatterene using its long appendage to trip Duraludon, while Frosmoth has picked a visibly uncomfortable Sandaconda up off the ground. “Oh my gosh,” you pale. “Raihan was right.” Cue frantic scolding of the two partners in crime.

That night you apologize. You honestly didn’t think Frosmoth and Hatterene were up to no good! Raihan feels victorious that you finally caught them. “Yeah, babe! And you thought I was fooling around, you didn’t believe me.” He’ll wipe a fake tear.

“You know, they used to play pranks on me.” You tell Raihan. “I think it’s their way of gaging personalities of new people. They honestly don’t mean any real harm.”

Regardless, you have a long talk with the duo and urge them to leave Raihan and his dragons alone. You aren’t sure if it gets through to them but they at least look grumpy that they got caught.

Raihan doesn’t honestly mind. Yeah, they’re troublemakers but they’re your troublemakers. He can handle two schemers if it’s for you.

Hatterene and Frosmoth do genuinely play nice for the next couple of months, it seems their days of pranks are behind them, until Hatterene pushes Raihan into a pond.
