Ok, ok, ok, hear me out: Ruby and Raihan friendship.
-Raihan has been a fan of Rubyâs designs since, like, forever - before Ruby even started to garner international acclaim
-His favorite hobbies are fashion and social media, after all
-Ruby discovers Raihanâs social media accounts when Wallace is invited to Galar for an exhibition match with Leon
-He does a quick search to learn about Leon and discovers Raihan from there
-He follows almost immediately; heâs a big fan of Raihanâs photography and thinks the guy has a good eye for fashion
-One day Raihan posts a selfie of himself wearing something Ruby designed and Ruby fanboys over it for ages
-He decides to start up his own social media account, alternating between âoutfit of the dayâ type of stuff and sharing highlights from his photo albums of his PokĂ©mon
-In his first post, Ruby says that he was inspired by Raihan to share his photography with the world and tags him
-When he sees the tag, Raihan fanboys over it for ages
-So like, they gotta meet up in person now
-As soon as Ruby sees that Raihan followed him back, he reaches out to Raihan and asks him to come to Hoenn to meet him
-He does, and they quickly become good friends, each making frequent visits to the otherâs region
-Ruby introduces Raihan to Lisia, Wallace, Sapphire, and Emerald, and Raihan likes Lisia best because, well, Altaria
-Raihan introduces Ruby to Leon and Hop, and Ruby vastly prefers Hop because Hop reminds him of Sapphire and has actual fashion sense
-Raihan is a total weather nerd so he absolutely falls in love with Fofo, sheâs rather fond of him as well
-âIt must have been amazing to witness the whole Kyogre and Groudon incidentâŠI wish I could have been there.â âNo, you really shouldnât.â
-The one major point of contention between Ruby and Raihan is, naturally, the age-old âContests vs battlesâ debate
-Raihan doesnât like Contests at all at first, but gradually Ruby teaches him to appreciate them
-Ruby, for his part, is already accepting of battles - though he prefers Contests - and occasionally Raihan convinces Ruby to indulge him in a battle
-The first time this happens rumors start spreading that the Leon vs Raihan rivalry is over, Raihan got a new rival, heâs giving up on trying to become the Champion, etc.
-Raihan quickly quashes the rumors though, assuring the public that Leonâs still his true rival and Ruby is just a punching bag
-Ruby is offended at being called a punching bag but itâs not entirely inaccurate, he always gets flattened by Raihan when they battle
-If Ruby is more motivated to train his PokĂ©mon for battle so he can try to best Raihan, and his matches with Raihan kindle a joy for battles in him that he hasnât felt since he was a little kidâŠwell, thatâs no oneâs business but his own
