Reaction of Grimsley towards fem s/o's death?

You people like your angst, huh?

-The hospital, after TOD was announced, had to clear out almost an entire wing of patients. This was all due to how loud Grimsley was protesting what happened. He refused to believe it and nearly went mad. Doctors were close to having to sedate him.

-His following weeks saw him fall to gambling once again, trying to find some sort of solace in life. He gambled away everything on bad deals, losing everything he had and falling into despair, living in a shack with nothing but his Pokemon.

-It took the combined efforts of the entire Unova Elite 4 to pull him back up, but Grimsley never forgot what happened. Every year, on her anniversary, he goes and leaves flowers at her grave. He’s always alone, always wearing the same suit.

I really liked Grimsley's reactions to a fem s/o's death. How about headcanons of him taking care of his daughter his s/o left behind before dying in childbirth?

This just keeps getting more depressing.

-The first month was hard for him, seeing his daughter. Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of her. He practically abandoned her, leaving the other Elite 4 to help raise her. He sank into a depressive rut, drinking his sorrows away, and it took a multiple member intervention to tell him that he had to, quote, “take care of your daughter, for goodness’ sake”.

-Grimsley thought he was ready to be a father, but his loss hardened him. Every movement he made with his daughter, no matter what the intention, felt cold and strange. Every waking moment he was reminded of his so-called “failure”, and it was crushing him from the inside.

-He considered giving her up for adoption multiple times, but one day, watching his daughter play around, something just clicked. He knew that the best way to remember her was to raise his daughter right. It was something sudden, but he understood. He would never let her down again.

Matchup please! Straight female with long black hair and brown eyes plus purple glasses, quiet and awkward until I know someone, likes to read and play video games, good at math! Favorite Pokémon is Glaceon and Favorite typings are ice and physic. Hyper and full of energy around friends but stern and respectful when I need to be.

I’d pair you with Brycen, the gym leader from Unova!

Let’s be real here, Brycen is not a subtle person. After all, being an action movie star doesn’t exactly mean he’s always careful and such. However, all of his bravado tends to go out the window in the case of relationships. It’s a good thing you like Ice types, because he adores them. And he’ll give you a run for your money on your energy claim!

Could I have a matchup please? I'm an INTJ lesbian who's curious and loves exploring. I'm very timid around new people, but I warm up to them over time. I'm Loyal and would never cheat on my partner. I draw and I aspire to be a field biologist. I love bug, electric, and dark types. I can be moody at times and fiercely independent. People who stick around know that I love making them laugh and traveling. I draw, swim, and sing often. Thank you so much.

(I’ll just mention this here, I don’t know anything about those four letter things, so no need to include them)

I’d pair you with Viola, the gym leader from Kalos!

Viola is a photographer. Not just that, she’s a nature photographer. Exploring and traveling are her bread and butter, she’s an absolute expert at them. Your work and her work combine perfectly: she finds the Pokemon and takes her pictures, you easily identify them. It’s good that you like bug types, too, since those are her specialty.

If it's not any trouble, could I please have a matchup? I am a 5'8 ftm male and bisexual. I am very anxious in public, and have difficulty speaking to people at first. I can be very passionate about things that I enjoy, such as videogames, writing and learning languages. I've played pokemon my entire life, and adore ghost types. Again, I am sorry if this is troubling you. Thanks! :)

(This isn’t troubling me at all, no worries!)

I would pair you with Shauntal, the Elite 4 member from Unova!

Ghost type and writing are two things that practically describe Shauntal. However, unlike what one would think, she’s someone who enjoys helping others be more open. To her, it would be just like one of her books, helping someone out to better the lives of two people at once. She’s been with her Pokemon all her life, and while she’s not exactly a tech person, she’s very willing to learn.

Any headcanons for Lance with S/O who's a fairy type specialist?

They say opposites attract. Or, maybe they use the move Attract? Something like that.

-No matter how much you reassure him, Lance just is never comfortable when both of your Pokemon play together. He’s afraid that somehow, your Florges will accidentally badly hurt his Dragonite, and he is very protective of Dragonite. It’s impossible to put him back at ease, just accept it.

-Although you don’t use dragon-types, he insists that the two of you wear matching capes. He made sure to get one that fits your typing, getting a nice, pink cape with nice frills. He was nervous it would look too fairy-type, but you assured him it was fine.

-Despite him being nervous at your Pokemon playing together, he makes sure that the two of you train hard. Being Fairy and Dragon makes you both a near-unstoppable team, and both of you know this. Trainers cower in fear at your strength, because anything that can hurt you, he can stop, and anything that hurts him, you can put down.

Hi I was wondering if I could get a matchup I'm an avid fan and I was excited when you popped up on my dash again , I'm 5'0 with a hot temper sometimes though I usually can control it and I have short hair that's dyed blue on the top and and my personality is usually sweet if someone doesn't make me upset .

(Thank you for your support!)

I’d pair you with Brawly, the gym leader from Hoenn!

Brawly on the outside looks like a completely pushover. The guy doesn’t look like he could hurt a fly. However, he is an expert fighter, and is always able to stay calm and collected, with techniques that he would be more than glad to pass on. His hair is naturally blue, and he will never, ever take off those goggles if you ask him to, and he hates making people upset. No matter who they might be.

Alola! What do you think a date with Drake and Alder would be like?

Since this ask is weirdly worded, I’ll write what I got out of it.

-Drake is not a fan of “conventional” dates. Movie theater, restaurant? No, not him. He’s going to take you fishing. But not just any kind of fishing. You’ll be fishing for Gyarados. In a dinghy. With Old Rods. It’s going to be quite the trip, so I hope you’re ready.

-Alder is all for candlelight dinners. He’s also a great cook, so both of you are saving money in this case. He won’t spend a ton of money on a fancy schmancy date if he can make it just as well at home. Plus, you’ll be closer to the television and everything else the two of you might need.
