Long chapter for the long wait sorry! Also I stayed up literally all night (it's currently 11:47 pm) to write this and I'm super tired and didn't have any energy left to grammar check it. I might do it in the morning, but if your one you the first 100 or so reader's I'm sorry if there are any grammar errors.
************

"Y/n you were spectacular! And your Avalugg was huge!" Hop yelled as you excited the arena, Milo following closely behind, "I learned that word from you, SPECTACULAR!" he ran around yelling.
You giggled, "Thanks, now why don't I hold on to this little one"
You took the wooloos in fear of Hop dropping it as he ran around.
You took out your phone to vlog, "hey guys, I just finished my very first pokemon battle here in Galar! And it was insane! There were huge pokemon and-" you noticed Milo starting with a confused expression as Hop whispered very, VERY loudly for everyone to hear, "She's a poke-vlogger!"
A nervous smile appeared on Milo's face, 'she's WAY out of my league! A poke-vlogger! Gym leader! And pretty! I'm just a farmer! She's too cool, no pun intended.' he reached to tug at his bandana but it wasn't there.
He looked at your bag where it was tied around, there was the grass badge he gave her.
"I'll update you guys in a little bit" you said, as you hadn't asked Milo if you could record him yet, you didn't want to scare him away, "bye!"
You ended the video and put your phone back in your bag, "sorry about that! I forget to tell you"
"It's ok!" he said, his hand went back to tug at the bandana that wasn't there.
"Y/n! Should we go to the next gym?" Hop asked.
You opened your mouth to say something but Milo beat you to it.
"Actually, how about some lunch first, Hop?" he asked.
"Yes, please!" Hop said rocking back and forth on his feet, "where at?"
"There's a poke-cafe not too far from here" Milo said, "come on!"
You three exited the building and were greeted by the warm sun.
"Yay! Food!" Hop ran ahead leaving you and Milo behind.
"You know one thing I'm loving about Galar Is that everything is walking distance" you clutched the strap of your bag.
"When did you get here?" Milo asked.
"Just yesterday" you said, "Kalos is such a modern and big city, Galar is a nice change"
"Well I'm glad you like Truffield, usually trainers find it the most boring town" Milo said disappointed.
"Why?"
"Well, we don't have an ocean, of glow in the dark, or have technology-"
"Wow all those other towns sound like... a lot" you giggled, "But you have these beautiful waves of gold" you looked at the fields of wheat in the distance and petted to wooloo's softly.
"They are like gold, right?" Milo said, "most people don't find beauty in this kind of stuff"
"I FOUND IT!" Hop yelled as he waved his hands to catch our attention, "OVER HERE!"
They caught up to Hop, and Milo opened the doors for us.
"Thank you" you said as you walked inside.
It was a small and cozy cafe with a few round tables and an outside area for both pokemon and people.
The three walked up to the counter, which had glass displays on either side of the cash register with a variety of sweets and savorys. Behind the counter were two fairly simple coffee machines. Then there were a pair of double doors leading to the kitchen.
"Hi, welcome! What can I get for you?" The very kind lady said behind the counter.
"Um," you scanned the menu above, while Milo ordered first.
"Ok, I'm going to get a f/c/d, extra ice please. And a f/o, please." you said, "how about you Hop?"
Also before I get comments that say that the "extra ice" thing doesn't work for your drink, YES IT DOES! If you ordered a smoothie, frapp, or milkshake, then that ice will just go into the blender! Please don't leave rude/smart mouth comments! Thank you!
"Chocolate milk please!" He said, "and one of these!" he pointed to a Evie shaped burger.

"Ok and that comes with a side of fries." The cashier informed us.
"Oh, I'll have a side of strawberries please" you added as she gave you the total.
You dug through your bag and took out your wallet but only to see that Milo had already paid.
"Milo!" you said as the cashier gave him the receipt.
"Your order will be right out" she said.
"Thank you" you said.
"Let's sit outside!" Hop said and walked fast to the outside seating area.
You and Milo took a seat at one of the tables and Hop searched his bag.
He took out one of his pokeballs and looked up at you with hopeful eyes, "can I?"
You giggled and shook your head.
"Alright! Come on out Grookey!"
"Hey that's not that bad of an idea let's take out our pokemon" Milo said.
"My Psyduck's a bit fainted" you said.
"No problem, I ordered some poke-puffs too, they have natural healing effects" Milo said. (P.S that's a totally random fact that I didn't fact check, but it's ok let's all just pretend, and if anyone knows of this if true or fake please, very nicely, let me know I'm the comments)
"Do you have any other pokemon with you?" Milo asked.
"I have this adorable wooloo" you said   raising it up for Milo to see.
Milo chuckled, "almost forget about this little guy" he petted it's tiny head before you put it down for it to go play with Hop, Grookey and Hop's larger wooloo.
"Milo, you mind if I record while we eat, it's for my channel" you said taking out your phone.
Milo tensed up and got nervous again, he really wasn't the one for attention.
"Of course I don't always use all of my footage, and I do you know, speed up conversation and play music over them if I don't feel comfortable with people hearing that talk" you gave him a small smile as he relaxed.
"Yeah, ok" he said.
You set your phone to lean on a vase at the center of the table, so that it was Milo and you in the frame.
You pressed record and was about to say something to introduce Milo, but stopped yourself as it might be too much pressure.
"S-so why are you a poke-vlogger? How did you become one?" Milo asked as you sat back in your seat.
"Both excellent questions" you said, "and I really wish I could give a better answer" you laughed a bit, "I guess it was to give my gym more publicity. At the time, way back then, my gym was really just "the last gym" people just wanted to get past us. No one really stuck much longer for tips and recommendation. And I was really lonely, it was just me and my dad. I wanted to meet people from different cities beyond mine."
"So one day, I decided to put myself out there make a channel and upload my first video, "A Day in the life of a gym leader" I remember I had absolutely no idea what I was doing but with the help of a certain professor, he helped me edit and create more videos. And with time, I just got used to talking to my camera in public, and got more subscribers and now I'm here, poke-tude famous, I guess"  you shrugged, "but I mean being a gym leader already gets you to be some level of famous, right?"
The nice lady from earlier came with your drinks and set them down on the table.
"I'll be back with your meal soon" she said with a warm smile.
"Thank you" you said, and took a sip of your drink, "how about you Milo, how did you end up gym leader?"
(Disclaimer: the following is total b.s. I made up using the information on the league card. But I really wish I knew why Milo became gym leader!)
"Both of my parents were farmer, so I'm a farmer, obviously" he went again to tug the missing bandana and laughed nervously.
"But I really enjoyed it, a-and I still do,  that's why I haven't left it. I just really enjoy working in harmony with pokemon and taking care of them-oh thank you" he said as the lady came back with the meal.
"Thank you" you said, "Hop come eat"
You took out your Psyduck.
"Psy" he said with closed eyes and he clutched his head.
"Have a poke-puff" you said.
Then you took out glaceon and gave her a poke-puff as well. You wrapped up a couple of poke-puffs in a napkin and put them in your bag for later, for the rest of your team and didn't fit in the reduced space.
Milo tended to his pokemon as well and took out a Bellossom and a Cherrim.
Everyone happily ate and Milo continued talking.
"I was happy helping my parents with the farm, but every since I saw my first gym battle, I couldn't get it out of my head, I dreamed to be the one in that field, giving people there first badge, being the first gym they faced."
"So ever since that day I started training to be a pokemon trainer, and not just a trainer, but to be a gym leader. All while helping my parents with the farm. And, I know this may sound a little cheesy, but after years of hard work and sacrifice I final became gym leader of Turffield."
Hearing Milo's story made you think, he obviously wasn't handed the role like you were.
"I wanna be champion!" Hop said snapping you out of your thoughts.
"Yeah, well with hard work and dedication, I'm sure you can beat Leo, your brother, right?" Milo said, "just like me and Y/n did." he looked at you.
"I-"
"How did you become gym leader in Kalos, Y/n?" Hop asked while eating a fry.
"Hop, your a bright kid, with an even brighter future, always work hard to reach your dreams, never let anyone bring you down" you said, "just like Milo did to achieve his"
You looked at Milo and smiled, you two held each other's gaze for a second too long before looking away.
Everyone finished their lunch and collected their belongings/pokemon.
"This little guy doesn't have a pokeball does he?" You asked as the wooloo followed Hop who was ahead of you and Milo.
"Nope, he's part of the farm" Milo said, "which is our next stop"
"Milo, I didn't want to answer Hop's question in front of him, the way I became gym leader, honestly isn't as inspiring as yours" you said.
"I'm not inspiring" Milo said quietly.
"I'm sure Hop got inspired by hearing that, heck, I got even more motivated" you said, "or at least grateful. Milo, your parents were farmers. My parents are world known pokemon trainers. When I was born I had to live up to that. I wasn't like my rebel brother. I was basically born into being a gym leader, I had no choice. I was trained my whole life to take over the gym. I was raised in the cold. I learned to ice-skate as soon as I was able to walk. That's how I became gym leader"
"And do you like being a gym leader?" Milo asked.
"I love it, but I always felt the need to do something else," you said, "but I'm not too sure what it is that I want to do yet"
"Is there anything else you like to do other than vlogging?" He asked.
"Ice skating, I love to ice skate" you said, "like I said, I was taught almost immediately after I could walk"
Milo chuckled, "my parents said I would try to pick the shovel as a baby"
You giggled, "they sound like nice people, where are they now?"
"They moved to Postwick, it's not too far from here" he said, "where are yours?"
"Mm, my mom's here in Galar with my brother Gordie. And my dad is back in Kalos" you answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that they were-"
"It's ok, no need to apologise, my parents don't get along so well, so it's for the best that there thousands of miles apart and only see each other a couple times a year" you said.
"Wait, you said your brother Gordie? As in rock type gym leader in stow-on-side?" Milo asked.
"The one and only" you said, "so you know my brother?"
"Yeah, we're friends" Milo said, "your the little sister he always talks about"
"Gordie, talk about me, I'm flattered" you laughed.
"So your mom is Melony of Circhester" he said.
"Ice gym leader" you said in unison and laughed.
"Why are you getting the badges of Galar?" Milo asked.
You thought about this, "I guess it's to prove to challengers that I am actually good and I'm not just the leader because my dad was the leader"
"Milo! Is that your farm!" Hop yelled.
"Yeah, that's it, but, um Hop there is a whole lot of Pokemon so I appreciate if your not too loud, we don't want to disturb any of them" Milo said, "and be careful where you walk, you don't want to step on any plants!"
Milo ran after Hop.
You giggled looking at the farm, it was a huge field.
There were different pens with different pokemon.
Then there were sections with rows of different crops.
There was a small cabin, which you assumed was where Milo lived.
The sight was so beautiful, compared to the city buildings and roads.
You walked around the fields, thinking about what your next goal was besides collecting gym badges.
"Hey Y/n! Hop called.
You walked over to him and Milo.
"What's up?" You asked.
"You told me about your Avalugg that can... mega evolve? Is that right?" Hop said.
"Mega evolve?" Milo questioned.
"Yeah, in Kalos, we don't have giant pokemon-"
"Dynamax" Milo interrupted on purpose and gave you a sweet smile.
"Yeah, anyway our pokemon have another evolution, that goes beyond the last one, called-"
"Mega evolution!" Hop said while Milo shushed him, and looked behind him to make sure that the wooloo's aren't startled.
"Can you show us, please, please, please!" Hop said.
"Don't know, he might make too much noise" you said looking at Milo.
"You think you can get him to be quiet?" Milo asked.
"Avalugg or Hop?" You said.
"Go ahead" Milo said.
"Are you sure?" You asked.
Milo looked at Hop, who had on doll eyes, and back at the wooloo pen, "I'm sure they'll be fine" he gave you a reassuring smile.
You gave him a nod and took out avalugg's pokeball.
You tossed it up in the air and avalugg replaced the yellow light.
"Hey, we're going to mega evolve, but I need you to be quiet, ok?" You said as you petted his head.
He gave a low grumble.
"Ok" you whispered back.
"Avalugg, let's mega evolve" you said in a moderately loud voice.
There were all sorts of crazy lights, purple, blue, yellow, green, before you could see Avalugg.

Avalugg gave another low grumble and smiled as Hop gawked at the pokemon.
You tossed out your other two pokeballs and out came Ninetales and Abomasnow.
You looked back at Milo, "hope you don't mind I want to give them their poke-puffs"
"Not at all" he said, "are ice types your favorite?"
"I'm kinda of the ice type gym leader, image me using and electric type?" you laughed, "but yeah, I think there really graceful, and yeah" you shrugged.
"This one's a part grass type, right?" He asked giving Abomasnow a poke-puff.
"Yeah, that's Abomasnow, my very first pokemon that I caught" you said giving ninetales a poke-puff.
"What's your favorite type?" you asked, already knowing the answer.
"Grass" he said with a smile, "I've always had a connection with them, and there the ones that are most connected with the earth."
"I could say the same about ice types" you said, "that first part of course."
You smiled at those emerald green eyes.
But then you heard something bust open and then a bunch of rolling on the ground.
"Oh, no!" Milo groaned and ran off.
You looked and all the wooloo from the pen were now rolling away.
"Ninetales, come on! Abomasnow and avalugg stay here and look after Hop!" You yelled.
"But I want to help!"
"No, Hop you stay here! I'll be back!" you yelled running, ninetales at your side.
********
"Woo!" You said wiping sweat off your forehead, "that's the last of them!"
"Thank you so much for your help!" Milo said.
You laughed recalling the events, "it was no problem, really" you huffed, out of breath from so much running.
"Thank you, ninetales, get some rest" you said and pressed the pokeball against her neck.
"I better get some rest," you laughed catching your breath.
"We lost track of time" Milo said as you walked back to Hop.
"That was amazing, you were like woah! and he was like hut! A-and, and" Hop rambled on.
Milo chuckled at Hop's excitement, as you put away the rest of your pokemon.
"Hop, why don't you go get us a room at the pokemon center?" you said.
"I can't sleep now this day was so awesome!" Hop said pumping his fist in the air.
"Maybe your excitement will calm down on the walk there?" you suggested.
"I'll skip there!" He said and happily skipped away.
You giggled.
"Is Hop related to you?" Milo asked as he started to walk you to the gate.
"No, I just met him yesterday, his family is hosting me while I stay here" you said.
"Your going back to Kalos when your done?" he said disappointed.
"That's the plan" you said, "for now, anyway"
He looked at you.
"You know I really enjoyed spending time with you today" you said.
"Me too," he said then blushed, "maybe we can do this again, i-if you come back to Turffield? Just you and me?"
"Of course I'm coming back, while I'm here in Galar, I'll always come visit you" you said blushing, "and that would be nice"
You two had subconsciously been holding hands.
Milo let go and blushed pokeball red.
"I'll see in the morning?" You asked rubbing the bandana's soft fabric with the hand he held.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow" he said.
"Great! I'll see you then, bye" you waved.
He waved, "bye!"
You began to walk to the pokemon center, so happy that you almost skipped your way there, with a blush as you thought about the farmer.
Milo had gone inside his cabin, unbelieving this whole day.
Taking to a girl he taking a liking to? Who was he? And this amazing girl seemed to taken a liking to him back.
They both went to sleep happy that night.
