(WIP) More Than A Rival - Kieran x OC

"I'll show you that I can be strong too... That I'm not the same weakling you left behind."

After the events of Area Zero, (o/c) embraced her role as Paldea's Champion, but a lingering restlessness remained. That changed when her teacher, Jacq, invited her on a school trip to Kitakami-a land of rich traditions, mysterious Pokémon, and unexpected encounters. There, she met Kieran, a quiet yet determined boy drawn to her strength, and his protective sister, Carmine.

What started as a simple trip soon turned into something more-a journey of rivalry, growing bonds, and emotions she never expected. This journey would then lead her to an exchange program at Blueberry Academy, where even greater adventures awaited. She found herself facing new rivals, growing stronger with each challenge, and watching her newly found friend become clouded by determination and rage.

As their rivalry deepened, so did their feelings, with each challenge uncovering a vulnerability in Kieran and a growing connection between them that neither could ignore.

This story is based on the events linked to those that have happened in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, though it being more closely linked with Violet (As that was the game I favoured). There will be some alterations to better suit the story, but will follow the main storyline of the "Teal Mask" and "Indigo Disc" DLC's.

I've published this as I've been wanting to create my own story between my character and Kieran for a while, so I thought I may as well publish it for others to enjoy as well.

This story also has a very slow plot, their relationship progresses VERY slowly throughout, so if you aren't into slow burns I don't recommend this story. You can skip through it if you like.
