Based on the assumption that the reader is the player! As in LEGIT you, not IN GAME or IN UNIVERSE you.
I don’t have much of a story in mind, so I’m going to offer some headcanons.
-The first time he becomes aware of you is during the events of X & Y. At first, he actually thought you were Arceus. Did lots of research, and after concluding that the massive giant in the sky only he could see wasn’t Pokemon god, started just watching what you did.
-He obviously follows the events of the game, but he sees little glimpses of your life through that massive, odd box in the heavens that gave him a window into a world he didn’t quite understand. When he reunites with Floette at the end and he cries a little, his eyes catch yours glistening with tears too. It’s the first time he feels like someone besides the little pokemon in his hands cares about his story.
-When you eventually stop playing X & Y, he’s saddened. He liked the feeling of having a friend, even if you didn’t realize that he could see you.
-Years later, after he’s purchased the hotel, taken in most of Team MZ, and has started to take better care of himself..the box reappears.
-You’re much older now, and in a different place, but it’s definitely you. He smiles, and when your player character comes into the hotel, he accidentally greets them by your name. That catches you by surprise.
-You guys eventually establish a dialogue, and you explain as best you can the situation. That his universe is a game, in the palm of your hand the confines of its universe. He vaguely knows some of this, based on last time you two met.
-Whenever you boot up the game, AZ has an alert box in the corner, like Naveen and Mable during their missions, where he chats with you as you play. Asks you about your life. He even asks if you have any Pokemon of your own, and you have to awkwardly explain that no, your orange cat is not a Fire type he’s never seen before, and no, your dog isn’t actually a flying type Pokemon, or one at all.
-It’s all very surreal, but he enjoys talking to you. (The kids are convinced he’s officially lost it.)
I hope you enjoyed this idea! It was definitely one I wasn’t prepared for.
If you have any ideas or a prompt, feel free to send me an ask!
