building off of your post on courting adaman and incorporating diamond clan traditions, i'm curious how'd he react to gifting him a shiny Eevee. since his whole team is different eeveelutions, and hunting for a shiny canonically takes time. if it's alright with you, how would adaman react to a stoic! reader (bonus points if they ghost-type trainer) courting adaman with a shiny eevee?
Sorry it’s been a few days since you sent this in! I’ve been busy working a part time job of sorts on top of my full time one. So I have way less time to spare (😭). The past week and a half has been HECTIC lol but I’m here with, hopefully, a decent little fic!
Thank you so much for the ask, I hope you liked it!!! 💖
ghost-type trainer stoic!reader courting Adaman with a shiny Eevee! ✨
He thought it must be something important if you were requesting to meet him at Gingko Landing. Was there another issue somewhere in the Cobalt Coastlands that required the Diamond Clan’s assistance?
Adaman could only ponder what the reason could be as he waited upon the sandy shore watching the Spheals roll about. The view was breathtaking as always, with the sun beginning it’s slow descent over the horizon.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see you approaching him.
“Hey, you!” he greeted happily. “It’s good to see you again. Is the Galaxy Team in need of our help once more? I haven’t heard anything concerning from Iscan or the other wardens but we’d be more than happy to help.”
You shook your head. It seemed you were here for something else.
He noticed a pokeball in your hand. He cocked his head to the side, about to ask.
Noticing that he caught sight of what you had in your hands, you held it out to him. “For you.”
“For me? I don’t…remember asking you to catch me anything?”
You shook your head again. He noticed a slight blush on your cheeks. Which made his heart flutter a little. You were cute. What were you so bashful for? He knew he probably had a slight blush on his face too, judging by the way his face was heating up a bit.
“Is this a gift? What’s the occasion? Not that I’m complaining,” he chuckled. “A gift is always a pleasant surprise.”
Adaman’s whole world came to a screeching halt.
Wait. Did he hear that correctly? You? Want to court him? And this was the gift?
This had to be a prank. There was no way. But you weren’t the type to pull pranks despite being a trainer who specialized in ghost-type Pokémon who were, well, notorious for being tricksters.
“This isn’t Mai or Arezu’s doing is it?” Adaman chuckled nervously.
“No,” you simply responded. “This is genuine. I wanted to tell you how I felt.”
He watched as you sent out the Pokémon that was within the pokeball. Which he also noticed had his clan’s symbol carved and painted onto it.
Just as his mind tried to catch up with this development, he saw that the Pokémon you caught for him in question was none other than a silver colored Eevee.
“Hey, wait,” he said dumbfounded, “This Eevee is differently colored than usual. Is this…would this be the one you call “shiny” Pokémon?”
Oh boy. Not only did you catch him a rare Pokémon, one of his favorites, but a special version of it to boot. You really were serious and telling the truth.
Adaman didn’t know what to think. His whole world was spinning. First, you tell him you want to court him and then offer this rare Eevee as a token of your feelings. You must’ve spent so much time wandering Hisui to find this just for him.
He had to sit down, he couldn’t process his shock. You felt the same way? For how long?
He knew he had to respond soon, it was not fair to you to wonder what his answer was when you went through so much for this. He was so touched (and a little overwhelmed) that you followed his clan’s customs and was here, with the result of the depths of your affection for him.
He bent down to scoop up the sweet little Eevee who had been looking at him so endearingly and walked closer towards you.
“I’m so honored you found me this little guy,” he grinned. “And even more so that you followed my clan’s customs to formally ask to court me. I’m really flattered. I never thought you’d be interested in me beyond being friends, but I see now that the feelings were mutual.”
He watched as your eyes widened slightly and more of your face became flushed. You probably didn’t think he held romantic feelings towards you too, it seemed. He chuckled.
“I happily accept your gift. I wish to be yours, too.”
