Pokemon: A Gym Leader's Rise(SI)

After seeing their grandpa's Pokemon, the twins pestered Erza to show them her Pokemon.

They had already seen their dad's Pokemons which were Alakazam, Mr.Mime, an Eevee and Chansey.

Well, Alakazam was Ben's first Pokemon and his third love. First being his wife, second being his research and third being Alakazam who was also a researcher by heart and loved to research along with Ben.

Mr.Mime helped clean both the house and his dad's labs as well as take care of both the kids as well as baby Pokemon.

His dad was one of the rarest eevee breeders. And that was one of the reason that the family was so rich. Eevees were rare in the wild and were quite popular among folks. Every type trainers can have an eevee and evolve it to their respective type evolution.

Ben was also a researcher and one of his current research focuses was on the different eevee evolutions.

Well, Gladion believed in time, he would help Ben find the three current unknown eevee evolutions Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon.

The most surprising of all the Pokemon was a Chansey which is rare outside of the Nurse Joy clan. Ben found a Chansey in the wild and quickly bonded with her. Chansey took a liking to taking care of baby eevees and decided to join Dad's team.

Anyways back to Erza who gathered her 5-year-old twins, Gladion and Gwen, in the backyard. "Kids, it's time you properly met Mommy's Pokémon team!" she announced, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Well, You have already met my Arcanine and Flareon. They are the only calm members of my team who know how to handle squishy humans like you. Now it's time for me to introduce you to the other members of my team." Erza said

Gladion tried to maintain a cool exterior, but inside he was buzzing with anticipation. 'Finally, I get to meet the strongest of my Mom's team! Let's see what one of the strongest fire type trainers in Indigo has to offer.'

One by one, Erza released her Pokémon, each materialization accompanied by a flash of red light and the twins' gasps of wonder.

Charizard emerged first, spreading its wings majestically. Gwen squealed in delight and immediately said "It's so big! Can we ride it, Mommy?"

Gladion, attempting to sound knowledgeable, said, "Actually, Gwen, Charizard can fly at speeds of up to Mach 2. You would not be able to stay up on him with your measly physical strength" He paused, realizing his mistake. "I mean... that's what I heard from... somewhere."

Erza raised an eyebrow but continued with the introductions.

Gladion though was awestruck inside 'Holy Arceus, it's a real-life Charizard!One of the two most famous Pokemon of the franchise alongside Pikachu.'

Gladion's mind raced as the majestic fire-type spread its wings. The Charizard leaned in close, sniffing curiously at the kids. Gwenyth giggled and reached out to touch its snout, while Gladion tried his best to look unimpressed. 'Act cool, Gladion. You've seen these in games before. No big deal.'

The Charizard though snorted at the kids.

Magcargo oozed forward, leaving a trail of cooling magma. Gwen wrinkled her nose. "Eww, it's all slimy!"

"It's not slime, it's magma," Gladion corrected, then added hastily, "I think."

A five year old was not supposed to know what magma was afterall and well now that he thought about it, he was not supposed to know what Mach was either. Well, Gladion would just have to tell people that he read about all of this in one of his dad's books.

'Magcargo, the majestic... snail made of lava. Truly nature's apex predator,' Gladion thought sarcastically. Magcargo was one of Gladion's least favourite Pokemon.

The heat radiating from Magcargo's body made the twins' cheeks flush, and Gwenyth sneezed adorably, causing a small flame to erupt from Magcargo's shell in surprise.

Typhlosion approached next, its neck ablaze. It nuzzled both twins gently, singeing their hair slightly. Erza quickly patted out the smoldering strands, laughing nervously.

Houndoom prowled around the group, its fierce appearance at odds with the way it gently licked the twins' faces.

'Ah, the fearsome hellhound... reduced to a glorified babysitter,' Gladion mused as he nuzzled with Houndoom who served as his babysitter and bodyguard for the past few years along with Arcanine.

Flareon bounded over excitedly, its fluffy tail tickling the babies' noses. Gwenyth sneezed again, this time startling Flareon so much that its fur puffed out like a fiery dandelion.

Finally, Ninetales gracefully padded forward, its nine tails swishing hypnotically. 'Oh great, the mystical fox that curses people for a thousand years. Just what every kid needs in their life. It looks majestic and beautiful though' Gladion thought

As the Pokémon crowded around, cooing and curious, Gladion felt a mix of awe and trepidation. 'Well, this is my life now. Surrounded by creatures that could accidentally incinerate me. They feel just as strong as grandpa's venasaur and rhydon. That Charizard though feels something else.'

Gwenyth, oblivious to any danger, happily patted and pulled at the Pokémon, her laughter infectious. Even Gladion couldn't help but join in, his giggles mixed with his sister's as their mother's powerful team showered them with affection.

Erza watched proudly, completely unaware of the complex thoughts running through her son's mind. "See, darlings? These are Mommy's Pokémon. One day, you'll have your own teams too!"

'Oh joy,' Gladion thought, 'I can hardly wait.'

Typhlosion stood near the kids, its neck erupting in flames. Gwen clapped her hands excitedly, while Gladion took a cautious step back. "Uh, is it safe?" he asked, eyeing the flames nervously.

"Of course, sweetie," Erza assured him. "Typhlosion can control its flames perfectly."

Houndoom barked wanting some attention himself, its fierce appearance making Gladion gulp. But to his surprise, it gently nuzzled both children, tail wagging.

"Aww, it's like a big puppy!" Gwen cooed, hugging Houndoom's neck.

"A puppy that could probably bench-press a car," Gladion mumbled.

Flareon rubbed it's tail against the children. Gladion knew Flareon as he used to play with him in his baby and Toddler days. He excitedly patted Flareon as he purred.

As the twins continued to play with the Pokémon, Erza couldn't help but wonder about Gladion's surprisingly extensive knowledge. She made a mental note to ask her father if he'd been filling her son's head with Pokémon trivia.

'I knew he was intelligent but this intelligent? Maybe it is because he is a psychic. Muh, he still looks cute when he acts all knowledgable.' Erza thought of squishing her cute son's cheeks as Gladion shivered.

'Why am I feeling that something scary is going to happen to me soon?' Gladion thought as he looked around in worry.
