Me realizing how long I've left you guys without an update:

Also me:

Me trying to do something good and type in the middle of the day:

In the meantime:

Also me:

Me at 3am trying to work on 5 different books:

Me in the morning, reading what I wrote last night:

*Writing like a donkey

Where's the sauce?????

Enough of that, here's the actual chapter:

"Y/n, we're about to land, you don't want to record this for your channel?"

Leon snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Yes, of course" you took out your phone to record some footage.

After landing, you and Leon entered the dark town of Spikemuth.

Opening the door to the pokemon center, you got knocked down by a hug.

"Y/n!" Hop's voice cheered, "your here!"

You hugged back ruffling his purple locks, "missed you too, Hop"

"Sorry for knocking you down" he said getting up.

Leon hand pulled you up to your feet, "thanks" you said to him, "it's ok, Hop" you said to the younger brother, "so how's it we go get the dark badge?"

Walking down the dark, team Yell, infested ally, Hop clung onto your arm until you reached an open area that appeared to be in the middle of a rock concert.

The leader singer, a man with black and white hair and a tired appearance seemed to spot Leon(it had to be Leon, you and Hop were much too short and easily blended with the crowd) and said into the microphone, "well, well, well, everyone we've been visited by the region's champion, Leon" he paused and chuckled, "what does Spikemuth owe to be in your presence?"

The crowd parted so Leon could get to the foot of the stage, "I've got two challengers for you--"

"Great" he rolled his eyes, "come on, let's get it over with"

Leon signaled for you and Hop, "Hop you wanna go first?" You asked.

He shook his head, "no you"

"Ok" you agreed then headed to the gym leader, "hey, my name is--"

"Hey I've seen you before" he interrupted going into thought, "you've been all over the news"

"Y/n L/n" you said.

"Crazy chick Raihan's been drooling about" he thought out loud, "he's been talking non-stop about you, Y/n"

"Ok, Piers, pokemon battle?" Leon interrupted as your cheeks went pink, you didn't know Raihan, you've seen his posts on social media though, he's probably as equally famous as you are.
××××××
The battles with Piers were quite easy, as he didn't giganticmax, but that didn't mean that his pokemon were weak, he totally destroyed Psyduck and gave your Ninetails a hard time.

Meanwhile Hop was as determined as ever as he went through an intense battle and coming out successful.

"I DID IT, Y/N!" He yelled excitedly holding up the badge.

"victory selfie?" You asked holding up your phone at an angle.

"Congrats you two" Piers said in a tired voice, "Guess now you need to go face Raihan" he turned to Hop, "then you'll be facing your brother, I wish you luck, my sister's in the gym challenge too"

He looked at you and winked before turning to leave.

You looked down at your phone, "there's still time to face one more gym today Hop, how's it we get that last badge today?"

"Mhmm... Ok!" He said with a cheerful smile.

"Care taking us back to Hammerlock, champ?" You asked Leon, 'might as well, since he's already here'

"Yes, of course!" He smiled as widely as his brother.
×××××××
The trip felt more cheerfully now that Hop joined you again.

"Hey everyone! Latest update: Hop and I have the dark badge and are in our way to face the final gym, which is in our favorite town of Hammerlock" you smiled at the camera, "joining us is Hop's older brother and the Champ, Leon!" You flipped the camera on him and he waved, "see you in Hammerlock" you said flipping the camera back on you and pressing the stop button.
