Your P.o.v
I was 16 when it happened. I had begged my father to let me train with him in Pinwheel Forrest. He promised me that since I had gotten an ‘A’ on my Pokémon Types quiz, he would let me join him on Friday for training. It was only Monday, so I had to wait a few days. When Friday finally arrived, I went straight home. I was so excited that I didn’t even bother changing out of my school uniform when I got home. My father made me change of course. We left after my mother packed some food for us and our Pokémon.
When we arrived, my dad called out his Pokémon; Dragonite, Hydreigon, Goomy, and Druddigon. I was so happy to see them. Goomy was the only one that Mom allowed in the house since it was small. I hadn’t seen the others in a while, so I ran up and hugged each of them. I was so excited to see them that I forgot what Druddigon’s ability was. My father ran over to us and pulled me away from Druddigon. I was going to ask what was wrong but then I noticed that Druddigon had blood on him. I looked down at my hands only to find both them and my arms bleeding. I started to feel lightheaded. It could’ve been from the blood loss or the fact that I’ve never liked the sight of blood. I almost fell, but my father had caught me before I hit the ground. Him calling my name was the last thing that I heard before I passed out.
Hours later I woke up in the hospital. My father was seated in the chair next to my bed. Upon noticing that I was awake he got up from his seat. He kissed the top of my forehead before plucking me in the same spot. He scolded me for hugging a Pokémon whose special ability was ‘rough skin’. I explained to him that I was so happy to see his team that Druddigon’s ability slipped my mind. He chuckled before leaving to go get the nurse. I was charged from the hospital three days later with strict instructions to take it easy and to not hug Druddigon anymore. That’s how I got these scars.

When Raihan had first asked you about how you got your scars you told him that it was a stupid story. He asked you to elaborate but you dismissed his question with:
“I was a dumb teenager”
To which he responded with:
“Was it that serious?”
Seeing the concerned look on his face made you give in and tell him what happened. You made him swear not laugh. He then told you that even he doesn’t laugh at certain things.
You were now finished with your story and were waiting on for him to say something. He was silent for a few moments before speaking.
“The dragon princess of Unova hugged a Druddigon, whose ability is ‘rough skin’?” He spoke.
“Even 5-year-olds know not hug certain Pokémon!” He started laughing.
“Y-you swore that you wouldn’t laugh!” Your face was turning red from embarrassment. He was too busy laughing to notice your flushed state. It was when you announced that you were leaving and that you would never share a personal story with him again did his laughing stop. He apologized with a kiss and a hug. He promised to share one of his embarrassing stories with you after he got back from Leon’s. It was when he mentioned about telling Leon about how Unova’s Princess didn’t know certain Pokémon’s abilities did you chase him out of your house.
