The author is in no way associated with the owners, creators, or producers of any media franchise. No copyright infringement is intended. I do not claim any rights to Pokemon Sun and Moon or any characters associated with the game/manga/anime. This also applies to the original characters and character development based on Eleanor Bick's comics 'El's Alolan Adventures'. No money was made from this fanfiction.
Author Notes: As pointed out above this fanfiction is based around elements from the game, the manga, the anime, and mainly Eleanor Bick's comics 'El's Alolan Adventures'. I found her comics through Utube; some groups were narrating her comics, I stalked her until I found her Tumbler account, and absolutely fell in love with her art, this comic, and especially her portrayal of Guzma, her original character El, and their interactions. Hence this short fanfiction was created. I have obtained permission from Eleanor Bick to write/post this story. Here is a link to her Tumbler account so you too can read her wonderful comic and see her amazing art. This link is to the master post of the comic. https://elbdot.tumblr.com/post/187763260384/els-alolan-adventures-masterpost
Author's Note about characters & story: Taken from Eleanor Bick's site to describe her take on the characters, & her original character El. El is 20 yrs old, 5 ft 6 in tall, has brown shoulder-length hair with green eyes, she is the current champion of the Alola League, a random jumble of letters nonsense sounds which is El's way of substituting for cursing. Guzma is portrayed as being 23 and 6 ft 5 in tall, he is living with Hala. Guzma having gray eyes was taken from Bulbapedia. Hau is 13, not 10 like in the game, according to Eleanor's comic. So there is the character set up. Eleanor's comic takes place after the end of the game/manga/anime and this story takes place after the comics Eleanor Bick currently has up as of Nov 2020. This is purely fanfiction & in no way will affect her comics. I've also rated the story high for Guzma's cursing, talk about child abuse, talk about toxic relationships.
Story Break. . . . .
Leading the way into the house El turned as soon as her father shut the door. "Alright, Dad. What was all that back there?"
"That's what I want to know. Why were you acting like that?"
"Why was I acting like that?!" Squinting her eyes at her dad El put her hands on her hips. "Because you were being rude to my friends."
"You don't need to not waste your time with someone who hasn't grown out of playing with Bugs El."
His daughter reminded him of his wife right now. "I'm older than you so I can spot people like him. Despite his age, he still hasn't made anything out of himself."
"Dad that isn't fair." El pointed out. "Mom always said it was okay to take things at your own pace. Not everyone has the same advantages as others or matures at the same rate."
"You don't need a loser like him in your life. Now I know why you kept putting me off about coming to see you."
"First, you don't even know anything about Guzma so don't call him a loser."
He couldn't believe how much she was sticking up for this boy. Why would she not understand he just wanted what was best for her?
"Guys like him are only after one thing. You can tell just by looking at him, he's the type that would ruin your bright future. He'll be a bad influence on you."
El shook her head. Just why was her dad hating on Guzma so much?
"Where is this coming from?" She demanded.
"Just do as I say El. He looks like the kind of person who’d abandon their responsibilities at the drop of a hat."
Cocking her head to the side El stared at him without blinking. "Oh you mean like you did to mom?"
Alright, it was a low blow, but in a nutshell, he had abandoned his responsibilities to them to be a Gym Leader in another Region.
"El! I'll have you know I've always provided for you and your mom."
She knew he had so she nodded. "I know you sent money. So you think money makes the difference between a decent guy and a loser?"
"That's enough." Her dad narrowed his eyes at her. "Is this how you talk to your father? I'm just trying to make sure you don't screw up your life."
"It's bad enough how long you waited before you even started to do anything with your life."
Ah, the old stand by I'm disappointed you waited so long to do anything with your life. Did they really have to revisit this same old argument every time?
"You've finally started to apply my teaching and make something out of yourself. You just need to listen to me and . . . ."
Yeah. . . . She was done.
This fight would be the one that officially broke the Numel's back with her.
"And what? Be like you? Not caring about anything that stands in the way of your dreams? Including the family, you made then left?"
"El . . . ." He wasn't sure why she was bringing that up again. "I told you. . . ."
She cut him off. "Money doesn't change abandoning your family for your dreams." She snapped. "It doesn't make you some great guy."
Taking a deep breath, El let lose the things she'd wanted to say to him for a long time.
"You didn't teach me anything! What you did was nag me and brag about how great you were. You always made me feel like I wasn't good enough."
They starred at each other with similar hurt looks.
"You made it seem like what I wanted or was ready for didn't matter. All that mattered was your plans for me."
"Those sparse times you visited or called, you never even stuck around all that long. You always left me feeling like I wasn't good enough. The one thing I did come to understood was nothing was as important to you as being a Gym Leader . . . . Not even me."
"Do you realize how much it hurt watching you leave and knowing I wasn't enough to keep you around?" She felt her lip quiver, but she was determined to have her say for once.
"Mom's the one when I was a kid that taught me how to stand on my own two feet, what it means to be a decent person, how to have empathy and to find my own way."
El took a deep breath to steady herself, letting it go as a sigh
"And that is what I've done. I found my own way. I'm the Trainer and Champion I am today because of my own hard work. What I've accomplished has nothing to do with you."
"Honestly Dad, I'll be the one who decides who's worth my time and I'll figure out my own future too."
El could feel angry tears running down her face, but she wasn't stopping.
"Those people back there are my dearest friends that I care a great deal for. They have been my support, my teachers, and even my rivals. They have each taught me a great deal and helped me grow not only as a Trainer but as a person."
Walking around him to the door El pushed the door open. "And you know one of the things Guzma taught me?" Stepping out of the door she turned to face her dad. "It's when to tell someone to go fuck themselves." She explained before slamming the door.
