Hiiii I love reading your blog especially at hours I should be sleeping (whoops). But may I request the male gym leaders + Leon going through the first few months of parenthood? Like how are they running their gym or balancing the task etc? Whoops sent this in earlier but forgot to include Leon. Thanks and much love🥺💗💗
Absolutely! These boys are gonna be a mess let’s be real.
Finds himself falling asleep a lot
Working on the farm? Randomly falls asleep amongst a pile of Wooloo
Working at the gym? Occasionally falls asleep immediately after a battle
Wonders how his parents dealt with him and all his siblings
He’s not always the one who’s up changing nappies and doing nighttime feeds, because a lot of the time he’s absolutely exhausted.
He loves his son, but Arceus, he’ll be impressed if he doesn’t die trying to handle parenthood
Sometimes brings his son to work with him. Wonders if it would be possible to make ‘childrearing’ part of the Gym Challenge.
Thought he was ready for parenthood. He read all the books. He’s spent time around children.
Isn’t sure how to deal with the fact this little person keeps staring up at him as if he knows everything
Honestly finds that worse than trying to juggle his work.
He can handle the Gym. He’s not sure he can handle this baby thinking he has all the answers.
Is definitely more than capable of doing nighttime feeds and nappy changing, even if he protests that he’s too old for it
Honestly, the worst part is probably when his daughter starts crawling and pulling herself up on things
Calls Melony all the time.
“Mum. He won’t stop crying. I’ve checked everyth - cuddles? Why the fuck would a baby cry for cu - shit, kid, please don’t cry more, daddy’s not angry, damn it...”
Swears around his son all the time
This kid is going to be potty mouthed, no doubt about it
Not too bad at juggling the gym, all things considered
Can often be found having intense staring matches with his son, as if they’re sizing each other up
Takes his kid to the Gym with him
Arceus be with the trainer that tries to bring it up
Honestly a pretty good dad, but he has his clueless moments
The most stable of the bunch
He took care of Marnie, he absolutely knows what he’s doing
Sings to his daughter every single night
Heart aches when she grabs onto his fingers
Often rests his head against hers and talks to her in the softest voice
Knows just how to make her giggle
Isn’t a Gym Leader any more, and basically just ends up taking on the role of ‘stay-at-home dad’
Does everything for his little girl
Cries every time she grabs at him
“Don’t know what I did to deserve somethin’ so pure. But you’re my angel, and daddy’ll protect you. Swear.”
WHY IS HIS DAUGHTER CRYING AT THREE A.M.? SHE CRIED AN HOUR AGO TOO, DAMN IT.
Falls asleep during a battle. Like, literally just passed out mid battle
Loves his daughter, but is a bit clueless with her
Every single Gym Leader has had a clueless call from Raihan begging for help
He literally called Allister once, who had to remind him that he’s only, like, twelve
Then called Bede, who had to back up the whole thing about being a literal kid, and also called him ‘weak’
Raihan cries as much as the baby
But he wouldn’t change anything for the world
Since he’s not Champion any more, he’s got a lot more time on his hands
Spends it with his little girl
Can take her to the Battle Tower with him, a lot of the time he’s just doing paperwork
He gets tired, of course, but he’s used to being tired. He didn’t get a lost of rest under Rose.
Seriously just get this boy a fucking lie in
He does still have to call his mum for advice but for the most part, he’s just fine
His daughter loves it, too
Very real possibility that Leon’s daughter loves her uncle more than her daddy
