Torn Between Two (Leon x Reader x Raihan)

Chapter 18

The three of them went outside of the hotel, and called a flying taxi to take the boys to the airport. It shortly landed there after, and Y/N gave Barry then Lucas a hug, and said goodbye.

"Let me know when you make it back home!" she sniffled, as she watched them leave and slowly fade away.

"Looks like it's just you and me, girl." she patted her partners head, as she cooed at her.

There was still daylight out, so Y/N and Ninetales decided to head back to the wild area. This time, to relax. She had done enough training that day, and wanted to spend some quality time with her team.

She let out each pokémon one by one, and decided to bring her tent out, as she didn't want to stay in the hotel that night. Ninetales and Lucario helped her set it up, as she turned her phone on to send Hop one more text before turning it off.

She told him she was going to camp out for the night, and that she was fine. She also mentioned that Barry and Lucas had left, and if she needed anything she wouldn't hesitate to call him. As she put her phone back in her bag, she brought out some things to make curry for her team.

It had been a long, fun but upsetting day, and she was starving. As she finished up dinner, she served her team a plate each, and they all watched the sunset and ate together. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day, and it would be easier for Y/N to not have to worry about anything other than her next gym challenge.

The next morning, Y/N woke up early enough to watch the sunrise, like she usually would when she camped out. She and Ninetales sat together as they took in the view, before deciding to pack everything up and head back to the hotel.

There was a hurricane coming in a few days, and Y/N wanted to try and defeat the next gym leader before that happened. She planned to head to Circhester that day and take on Gordie, the rock gym leader, and hoped that Hop and Marnie would accompany her.

As they made their way back into town, it was still pretty early, so Y/N decided to stop at a cafe to get coffee and some breakfast. As she and Ninetales arrived at one, she brought out her phone and turned it back on. She had a few missed calls from Hop, and a couple texts from Leon and Raihan asking where she was and why she wasn't answering them.

She decided to delete the messages, and almost deleted one on accident. Barry and Lucas had let her know they made it home safe, and her heart felt warm.

It was refreshing being able to reconnect with her old friends, and she was glad that she saw them and was able to get closure from Barry. She could finally put the past behind her, and move forward. If only she didn't have to do the same thing with Leon and Raihan...

She sat at a table outside the bakery and ate her breakfast and drank her coffee, as she scrolled on pokégram. She smiled as she saw Barry and Lucas post some pictures with Y/N and of their visit to Galar, but then started got upset as she saw some pictures of Raihan and Nicki at the club on her feed.

Had they gone again? Or were they old pictures? She shook her head and scrolled past them, as she now saw pictures of Sonia and Leon together in Wedgehurst. She couldn't catch a break.

She closed her phone, and finished her meal as she and Ninetales made their way back to the hotel.

They walked in and headed straight through the lobby to the elevator, making sure to avoid anyone who could have been there. Once they got back to their room, Y/N took a shower and started to get ready to head to Circhester.

As she finished getting ready, she packed a few extra clothes because she knew the city would be colder than she was used to. She made her way out of her room, then stopped by Hops room and knocked on the door.

To her surprise, Leon came to answer the door. Although he looked happy to see her, she didn't feel the same.

"Well good morning Y/N! I've been trying to ca-"

"Where's Hop?" she cut him off.

"Uh, he's inside." he muttered.

He held the door open and she walked past him and saw Hop putting his shoes on in the living area.

"Y/N! I didn't know you were stopping by." Hop questioned. "I'm glad you're okay. Marnie and I were worried about you."

"So was I." Leon chimed in. "Where have you been? I tried calling you."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about yesterday, Hop. I just needed some space and then I had to say goodbye to Barry and Lucas and you know about the rest." she said, ignoring Leon.

"Well don't do it again." he joked, but was somewhat serious.

"Barry and Lucas left?" Leon questioned, still trying to get a response.

"Deal." Y/N smiled at Hop. "I was planning on heading to Circhester today, I was hoping you and Marnie would want to come?"

"Yeah! That would be great, mate! Just the three of us continuing on our journey again!" he exclaimed.

"Great! Is Marnie up? I can go to her room and see?"

"I think she's getting ready, but I'm sure she'd love to see you and know you're okay."

"Okay, I'll head there now and we'll meet you in the lobby." she said as she left the room, not even looking at Leon once.

"Am I missing something?" he questioned.

"So, uh," Hop hesitated, "I kind of sorta had to tell her about what you said, about Raihan and Piers, and she didn't take it well." he sweat dropped.

"Hop!" Leon scolded. "I told you to wait."

"Yeah well that was before Raihan gave her bite marks on her neck, and who knows what else." Hop said, which made Leon's eyes grow wide.

"He did what now?"

"Lee, I'm asking you again, please just leave her alone. She knows about you and Sonia, and Raihan and Nicki, and the bet. It's over. You don't have to continue this act anymore."

"What are you talking about? There is no 'me and Sonia' or even 'Raihan and Nicki' as far as I know. This isn't a game to me."

"You don't need to lie to me, just please, give her some space and leave her alone. Both of you. We need to focus on our next gym challenge, that's what matters." Hop said as he grabbed his things and headed to the door, as his brother called out his name.

"Hop, wait." he sighed. "I'm falling for her..."

Hop stopped in his tracks, and turned around in shock to look at his brother. "You're what?"
