I’m sorry but I adore the idea of calling one of the guys a Pokémon’s mama bc I know you’d get strange looks from most of them.

Handing Volo his Togepi and telling him she was “looking for mama” and he just takes his egg daughter like “haha yeah… wait…”

Seeing Hoopa messing around with Lear and asking the creature “aw, are you playing with mama?” And he just… looks at you…

Please I’m cackling

"Are you looking for your mama?" to a Joltik. It hops up and down and lets out a chirp. You then carry it to Emmet and alert them that you have found mama. Emmet embraces it for but a moment and coos that mama is right here. You give the strange look this time.

"Do you want mama?" you ask a confused Litwick staring at Ingo on the phone. He has to pause to glance at you. There is nothing more said as he continues his call.

"Did mama lock you out?" You ask the poor, mrowing Meowth. The door to the police station opens as Nanu stares unamused. He takes the Meowth in and shuts the door. You gasp in offence.

Holding a Beldum that Steven is caring for while seeing it acting strange. "Missing mama?" you asked. It lets out a cry. Steven, who is dusting a stone nearby, has to physically pause to process that. Especially when you hand the Beldum to him.

"Mama is hungover again, isn't he?" you ask the Liepard watching Grimsley nurse a headache with coffee. He shoots a tired glance at you. Leipard lets out a meow in concurrence.

"Your mama is ignoring you..." you pet the poor Wimpod as it stares adoringly at Guzma. He stops whatever conversation he is having with Plumeria to look at you. He then picks up the Wimpod while loudly calling himself dad.

Going to Lumiose to participate in the ZA Royale... Your partner, being a professional trainer themself, sends you off with a pokemon they wanted to gift to you and a promise to attend themself as soon as they can.

Steven gifts you a shiny Beldum and sincerely hopes you will use them. If he comes to see you with a powerful, silver Metagross, he will fall even more in love somehow.

Lance asks you to train the Dratini well, trusting this experience might be well for you both. When he finally makes it over himself, he gasps at the well-trained Dragonite that stands at your side. Truly, you must be his mate with no doubt.

Emmet stares you down intensely and holds out a Joltik. He assures you that they are well bred and perfect for competitive battling. When he finally makes it over to see you with a level 100 Joltik, he is very confused. Apparently, the spider is well feared in the Royale, however.

Ingo hands off Litiwick to you with the silent request to please use them. When he comes, he is shocked to see a Chandelure that is Mega Evolved at your side. The happy trill and spin it gives makes him genuinely tear up and yell a bravo while applauding.

N holds out the Zorua the two of you had been caring for and says that they wish to go with you. He feels bad that he must finish things up in Unova, but he is shocked to see you waiting for him at the train station in Lumiose with a Zoroark that nearly tackles him.

Grimsley gifts you a Purrloin with a chuckle. He partially just wanted to mess with you a bit, but also wondered if you would come to use the pokemon's power well. Seeing you standing with a Liepard and a high rank makes him smug when he finally makes it to Kalos.

Avery hated the very idea of you going off on your own, but he unfortunately could not take time off from his gym to attend with you. So, he gifts you a Galarian Slowpoke. He simply wishes to make sure you have a reminder of him whilst you leave him behind in Galar. Though, he is both envious and impressed to see you standing with a Galarian Slowking when he finally found some time.

Guzma gets so huffy you're running off to some fancy battle thing without him, but he got tied up in a favour to Plumeria and could not go with you. Huffing, he gifts you a pokeball with Wimpod and says to not get too ahead of him. He is nearly in shock out of the station when you greet him with a Mega Evolved Golisopod. He didn't know they could that!

The mama posts remind me of the cute animal pics with "Let's *insert action* with mama" captions. "Let's be a batista with mama", "Let's look at gems with mama".

Litleo bravely lighting the burner that Grisham uses to boil his water.

Beldum watching Steven (carefully) assault a wall with a pick to dig out a shiny stone.

Joltik menacingly puffing up at someone littering on a train while Emmet approaches.

Litwick looking at the paperwork Ingo is reviewing on his laptop curiously.

Hoopa vibing with Lear in the treasure vault.

Meowth hissing at a Team Skull member trying to vandalise something while Nanu tiredly asks them not to.

Liepard slapping a button on a slot machine before Grimsley can.

Venipede wearing a mock pair of Corbeau's glasses and staring down someone who took a loan with the Syndicate while Corbeau casually threatens them.

Togepi holding the Fairy Plate and attempting a maniacal laugh. Volo stops doing that himself.

Dratini trying to stand tall wearing a cape and slithering after a Rocket member. Lance sighs at the sight. (Then has his Dragonite Hyper Beam them.)

Wimpod trying to be threatening alongside Guzma. Then hiding behind him when the person is too scary.

Wait I can help

Child Grisham laying on his back with Charmander curled up on his chest, afraid to roll over and accidentally snuff out the fire at the end of his tail

Child Lear sneaking out at night with Hoopa to go stargazing, only to fall asleep together in the grass.

Child N curled up around Zoroua protectively like a mother Zoroark would bc that is!!!! his friend!!!! he will keep him safe!!!!!!

Hoopa warps Lear back to his bed so that he doesn't get in trouble anymore than he inevitably will.

Grisham is so, so scared of how fragile Charmander is with the tail. He likely tanked an attack to protect him, too, even...

N loves his Zorua. His brother, basically. They are bonded in a way that no one else can understand.

Child Guzma sleeping outside with his Wimpod, trying to avoid his dad and being with his buddy.

Child Colress not sleeping but rather staying awake for many more hours than is healthy with his Klink. The gears just watch him in distress.

Child Volo and his egg. The beloved egg. Eternal egg, even.

Apologies if I’ve forgotten, but does Guzma have fan kids or is he just that cool uncle/big brother-type guy who babysits for others when they’re busy?

I gave him a daughter, but I haven't really been able to expand on her a lot.

He does babysit Ohi'a, Nanu's son, though. He really likes the kid and sees a little bit of the punk he is under it all. Plus, Ohi'a is probably basically family with Guzma's daughter.

GUZMA IS RIGHT THERE, HES THE PROPER WHITE BOY RAPPER

Guzma in the parking lot of Thrifty Megamart handing out his mixtapes to randos.

His grunts help.

(Polynesian boy rapper)

Guzma would be a girl dad and he'd try to get her to like bug types by showing her one's like Cutiefly/Ribombee(my favorite)

So confidently, you say he would be a girl-dad... Yet, I must agree. He would be. I was actually going to say he has to find cute bugs for her to enjoy to get over her fear. But, since you put the idea back into my head, I had to try my hand at designing her.

Behold, a second draft.

Introducing Guzma to Slither Wing... He is both terrified and interested in this prehistoric bug that mysteriously obtained. It being fighting type catches him off guard when it uses Body Press on him.

Contrarily, he hates Iron Moth. That is a robot pretending to be a bug.
