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. . . .

The house was quiet this morning. Walking to the door, she fished out her keys and went in to find her dad making coffee.

Placing her things near the door she felt bad her Pokemon were still in their Pokeballs, but right now wasn't the time for them to be out roaming around.

"You want to tell me where the hell you were all night young lady?" Her dad asked from his place in the kitchen.

"Excuse me?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "How old do you think I am?"

"Your age doesn't matter I'm your father and. . . ."

"And if I lived with you in your home, and you were paying my way through life then yes you'd have more of a say in what I do, but that's not what's happening here." She interrupted him.

"You're standing in the house that I'm buying from mom with my own money that I earned on my own. In other words, you're trying to order around another adult in their own home." She corrected him.

"As your father, I still have the right to correct you when you aren't making the right choices El." He said setting down his coffee and moving into the living room where she was.

She shook her head at him. "It doesn't work like that Dad. You've been way out of line since you showed up, uninvited by the way."

"Where I go, what I do, and whom I spend my time with isn't any of your business. What I decided to do with my life also doesn't concern you."

"You can't expect me not to care what happens to you. El, you're my daughter."

"Dad. . . . " El sighed. "I never said I don't want you to care about me. I'm telling you we're both independent adults and that means you don't have a say in what I do."

"What am I supposed to do just sit over here with my concerns and not tell you?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?!"

"If you can voice those concerns like you would with another adult. You know, have some respect and realize even if they're willing to hear you out in the end it's still their call and after that, you have no right to say anything else about it. Then sure you can voice your concerns."

"If you can't. Then no, keep it to yourself. Especially if you're going to be insulting about it."

Her dad sighed, sitting down on the arm of her couch. "Your mom tried to tell me I was out of line."

"When was that?"

"When I was coming here and then again last night when I called her about how you were acting."

"Why didn't you listen to her?"

"I figured it was just her trying to stick her nose into my parenting style like she always did."

That kind of added a new level of being ticked off for El. She never did like it when he'd say things like that about her mom.

"Mom wasn't just sticking her nose into your parenting style Dad. Not in the past or now. In the past, she did that because your parenting style was hurting me. Now it's because you were out of line, and she figured you'd end up hurting me again because you aren't recognizing I'm an adult."

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" He looked hurt. "I thought your mom was just being controlling."

El sighed. "Did you really expect a shy, quiet little kid to stand up to you?"

Well at least he had the sense to look guilty.

"I guess I got used to Mom always dealing with you. I've never wanted to fight with you Dad. That's not who I am, but I also don't want you trying to tell me how to run my life."

"Plus, you don't have a great track record of actually listening to me."

"By the way, I'm sorry."

Blinking at her apology he asked, "For telling me to go fuck myself?"

Sheepishly looking away El nervously chuckled. "Actually. . . . No. That one I meant."

"I'm sorry I wasn't up front with you and kept trying to put you off because I didn't want to have this fight with you."

"I figured when the time came that I stood up for myself it wasn't going to be pretty. Truthfully I was scared. Scared that if I did stand up for myself that would mean the end of any relationship between us." She admitted crossing her arms over her chest and looking away from him.

Her dad hung his head. "El. . . . I never in my wildest dreams thought you'd think I'd ever stop loving you. I'm sorry I ever made you feel that way."

"I guess showing up here just forced the situation. My actions and words haven't helped things at all have they?"

"Yeah." She said looking back at him. "You just steamrolled your way in like you always did. You didn't take my feelings into consideration, which is normal for you."

"Ouch. . . .You're right. I deserve that one." He admitted.

"Listen, Dad. . . I just recently started to feel like I'm coming into myself. Like I'm finally getting a handle on being an adult, and what it means to develop adult relationships with others. . . ."

"Adult relationships?!" Her dad leapt to his feet. "El, you don't mean . . . you and that punk . . . ."

"Daaad. . . . "El growled. "I didn't mean it like you're taking it."

"I mean a relationship where we're equal adults, helping each other deal with adult issues, learning to come to terms with things we've dealt with in the past, but more healthily, and supporting each other as adult friends."

"Also he's name is Guzma. He is one of my Training Partners and has become a close friend. That's not going to change unless Guzma or I do something that can't be forgiven or worked through. Got it?"

"I still don't trust him. . . ." Her dad admitted.

Why did her father have to take after Dusk her Aegislash?

"Hint. This is one of those things you don't get a say in. I get it, you've got concerns. You told me about them yesterday. I got it. . .and I don't care." El told him. "Guzma and I are friends. You'll have to come to terms with that and accept it if you want anything to do with me. "

"He's important enough to you that you'd not see me?"

El pressed her lips together into a thin line. Taking a deep breath she explained. "It depends."

They both just stared at each for a moment. Looked like that wasn't going to be enough.

"Yes, he's an important friend, turns out we actually have a lot in common, and there are even similarities in our personalities. I have a lot of fun with Guzma. We're also a big support to each other. He's someone I enjoy spending times with."

"Both of us are just trying to find our way in life and figure out our own futures. Basically, we're bumbling our way through it and trying to be supportive of each other while we do it."

"But you'd refuse to see me if I won't accept it?"

"Let's put it this way. I'm not going to allow you to mistreat or insult anyone I care about. If you can't be polite and keep your feelings to yourself then you shouldn't be here. It's not I'm choosing anyone over you. It's I'm refusing to put up with your bad attitude and the things you say about the people I care about. Basically, it all depends on your actions Dad."

"Fine. What's all this about your future? You're the Alola Champion. If you need advice on how to keep hold of it I can help you with that."

"You may have made a life for yourself as a Gym Leader Dad, but I don't know that this is all I want."

Sighing she tried to explain. "Look, Dad. I haven't decided yet what all I want to do with my life. I didn't start with the plan of becoming the Alola Champion in mind. It's just things happened, and I ended up becoming Champion."

"But don't you enjoy being the Champion?"

"Yes. So far I'm enjoying it. That and training with everyone has been the most fun I've had since leaving home."

"Then why are you thinking of doing anything else?"

"It's true that I enjoy being a Trainer and even the Champion. I still want to be the best Trainer I can for my Pokemon. That said at some point someone is going to win against me and I won't be the Alola Champion anymore. I'm not stupid enough to think this is a forever thing, Dad." El pointed out. "Plus, I've figured out during my journey so far that being a Pokemon Trainer isn't the be-all and end-all of life."

"Believe it or not there is an entire world beyond being a Trainer, a Champion, or even being a Gym Leader."

"Anyway the truth is I didn't want you to come here. I get you wanted to watch me, but it's just not something I'm comfortable with at this time. I don't trust you that you won't slip and berate me again."

"Telling you to jklsdf off is not something I want to have to do regularly."

Laughing he admits. "I'm wasn't too fond of it either. So I can't come to watch you?

"Actually. . . .like I said I didn't want you here. You barged your way in, uninvited and unannounced."

"We might be talking instead of fighting right now, but I'd feel less stressed if we discussed things through letters or text messages instead of in-person right now."

"After some time of talking more, when I think you can be trusted not to act like you did, and I'm ready, I'll invite you." She promised.

"So really want me to leave?"

El pressed her hands together in front of her mouth and took a deep breath admitting. "Yes. I think it would be for the best and would cement in your mind that your actions have consequences. Besides being told off."

"I could go stay somewhere else." Her dad suggested trying to change her mind. "Maybe we could get together for dinner or something?"

"No." El held firm. "You don't get rewarded for bad behavior Dad."

"We've been making some good progress talking. Why don't we build on this?"

El took a deep breath. How many times did she have to explain this to him?

"Because it might be good progress right now, but like I told you before I don't have time to entertain you. I don't want you breathing down my neck while I'm doing the things I need and want to do. I don't want to feel guilty knowing you're still here on Melemele Island, and I'm off doing other things."

"Besides, I don't think you realize just how angry I still am. I want my peace back. I want time to deal with my emotions without having to still try and have discussions with you."

"I just told you I wanted you to leave. Here you are still trying to talk me out of it instead of listening to what I'm saying." She sighed. "You're still showing me I can't trust you to be respectful to me."

Huffing her dad nodded. "Okay, I got it. I really messed up. Your mom was right. My daughter is an adult that doesn't want nor need us to tell her how to run her life. I guess I got to figure out how we have a relationship now that you're an adult and I shouldn't be telling you what to do."

"When I made Gym Leader and your mom told me she was expecting I thought I had all the time in the world."

"I mean you were just little. I convinced myself it didn't matter if I wasn't there that much. One moment you were just a baby, and now you're a full-grown adult."

"I guess it didn't register that just because you finally left on your first pokemon adventure a little over two years ago that didn't mean you were still just a little kid."

"Nope. I was already eighteen when I first left." El clarified.

"Already all grown up huh?"

"I'm sorry El. I got a lot to make up for and I don't even know if it's possible to make up for everything."

"I don't know if I can forgive you for everything that's happened. I won't lie, everything is really raw right now."

"But. . . . If you're willing to work at it and try to make things right between us then I'm willing to give you a chance. She assured him moving to hug him.
