Hey, just wanted to ask if you have any headcanons about Romania and/or Portugal
I don’t have many, as they aren’t characters I typically write for or read about, but I did some research and some reading in order to complete this request. Sorry if it’s a little short!

Romania/Vladimir
First off: a nerd. He’s very eccentric, but it’s more charming than it is weird.
ROMANTIC. Hands down one of the more thoughtful countries when it comes to romance. Francis has a rival.
Pretty old fashioned?? The way he dresses, talks, and the things he enjoys doing to tend to be very outdated and strange. It’s not because he can’t keep up with the times, he just prefers things the way they were.
Very messy. It’s organized to him, but anyone else can see how cluttered he keeps things. He has a hard time letting his possessions go, mostly because he finds good memories and happiness in just about every item he owns.
Portugal
A lot like Antonio, which is pretty unsurprising. Easy going, laid back, but he can have an awful temper when provoked.
Not very mechanically inclined, although he’s very much into the arts.
WONDERFUL cook. His food is amazing, and not always traditional Portuguese stuff like you might think.
Very outdoorsy, but not in the way that his brother is. His brother wants to garden, but he wants to take a nap in the hammock and listen to breeze and birds chirping.
It lives up in the mountains and descends on Tuesday nights to lure with its singing and punish the women caught working. . Called Marțolea (or Joimărița) is a malefic entity, who demands the semi-holy day of Tuesday to be respected and who forbids four women's chores: spinning of the wool, sowing, boiling laundry and baking bread. This is a pagan being. Usually his form is of a goat with human like head, horns & hooves. He can shape shift into a big old woman dressed all in black, ugly, soldier/warrior or as a handsome man. To married women it shows as an old woman, to married men as a virgin and to unmarried women as a young charming man. -mainly from Wikipedia.
Henry hummed as he rubbed his chin in thought. He was sitting down at a Pokemon Center as he awaited for Nurse Joy to finish taking care of his Pokemon. He thought maybe he could get something to eat while he waited? He nodded at the idea and got up, heading to the Cafeteria.
He was sitting at a table, eating some pancakes he ordered and smiled lightly. “Oh yeah….these pancakes are amaaaazing~” He hummed as he took another delicious bite.
“Well well well~ Lookie who we have here~” A trainer with a small fang sticking out his mouth, a gravity defying hat with two ribbons coming off of it, and shaggy light brown hair.
Henry looked up meet red eyes and he glared at him. “Vlad…..what are you doing here?” He raised a brow.
“What? Can I not come and let Nurse Joy heal my Pokemon? I am guessing you’re here for the same.” He crossed his arms. “Still obsessed with pancakes I see.”
“I am not obsessed! I just happen to enjoy them a lot! Now, are you here to make fun of me or something?” He raised a brow. “It’s rare you come up to me just to talk…..” He leaned back in his seat.
“Oh please, I can be civil, unlike you. I find it entertaining trying to have civil conversation with you.” He snorted and waved his hand and sat down in front of him. “Though it’s tough considering your small brain and short attention span.”
“I do NOT have a short-Oh hey they have ketchup at the table~” He chuckles as he picks up the ketchup bottle and smiled at it.
Vlad snorted and watched him with a triumphant smirk on his face. Henry blinks and shakes his head, glaring at him and standing up.
“Shut up! I don’t wanna hear it! Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to go see if my Pokemon are ready to go!” Before he left, he stuffed the last few bites of pancakes in his mouth and turned his nose up in the air and walked away.
“Your Pokemon are fully healed!” The Nurse Joy smiled at Henry as she handed back the tray with his Pokeballs on them.
Henry nodded and took back all six of his Pokeballs. “Thanks! I really appreciate it! Have a nice day.” He nodded and walked out of the Pokemon Center, attaching his Pokeballs to his belt. He whistled and set his hands in his pockets.
Though with a flash, Henry’s Totodile released himself and stretched out, adjusting his sunglasses that were on top of his head. “Toooooto!” He smiles at Henry and climbed up on his shoulder and got comfy.
Henry chuckles lightly and looked at him. “Alright, you ready to go buddy? That Olivine Gym isn’t going to beat itself! Then we will be one step closer to the Silver Conference! Oh I can’t wait~!” He inhaled deeply and sighed happily.
“HA! You wouldn’t last in the preliminaries.” Vlad laughed and crossed his arms as he stood behind him, smirking.
Henry blinks and spins around, glaring at his rival. “Hey! You don’t know that! I’m a pretty strong trainer don’t you know!”
“No, I don’t know.” He crosses his arms. “How about this, we have a battle, a three on three battle tomorrow morning, right here near the Pokemon Center. If you win, then I’ll admit you’re a skilled trainer, but if I win then I can rub it in your face a bit.”
Henry rubbed his chin in thought and nodded, holding out his hand. “You’ve got yourself a deal!” Totodile nodded in agreement.
Vlad smirked a bit and shook Henry’s hand and nodding at him. “Very good! I’m glad we could come to an agreement. So I’ll be seeing you tomorrow morning.” He chuckles lightly as he waves and walks off.
Henry grins and laughs. “Alright! Just you watch! I’ll beat you so bad you’ll go home crying to your mom!” He yelled at Vlad as he walked away. He crossed his arms and nodded. “Alright, now…..who shall I use……”
“Toto!” Totodile hopped off his shoulder and jumped up and down in front of him. “Totodiiiiile!” He wanted to teach that smug jerk a lesson! So he was offering his help!
Henry chuckles and grins. “Well alright! One down, two to go!” He rubbed his chin in thought and closed his eyes, humming softly. “OH! Aerodactyl! I bet he’ll come in handy too! And uh….” He clapped his hands. “KROOKODILE! Yes!” He takes out two other Pokeballs and threw them up. “Come on out you two!”
With two flashes both his Aerodactyl and Krookodile were released.
“Kroookodiiiile!” He grins and flexes his arms.
“Aerooo!” Aerodactyl looked around and tilting his head a bit.
“Alright you three! It’s time to do some serious training, alright?! We’re going up against my all time rival, Vladimir! Or just Vlad for short, so with you three by my side I’m sure I can win!”
All his Pokemon give out a mighty battle cry.
“Oh yeah! That’s what I like to hear! So let’s get to work! Let's start off with a run! Or rather, Aerodactyl you can just fly…..but yeah! Let's go!”
“Aeroooo!” He flapped his wings and took off into the sky.
“Krook!” Krookodile nodded and looked ready to go!
“Tototototodiiiiiile!” He jumped up and down, kicking his feet in the air.
Henry grins and soon started running, his Pokemon following close with him. After a good ten minutes of running, they stopped at a creek where they all got some water to hydrate themselves.
“Alright guys! It’s time for some serious training! I know with enough hard work and dedication, we can win this! Now! Let’s get down to bisuness!”
With that, Henry got started on his training with his Pokemon, having them use their moves and try to improve on them a bit. They were looking stronger with every second, putting their all into each attack! Henry was sure he could beat his rival this time! But only time will tell if his determination will be enough.
