Oh here I go again! Hang with me here, guys. But I decided to make a lower rated story... it has a twist though! I saw a crack ship of MoonxGuzma and I was like 'OH GOD! NO!' but... I will admit, some of it looked cute but maybe not as a shipping. So this idea came to be.

Moon was the champion of Alola and she couldn't be happier! She still goes on exploring the islands, battling trainers, filling up her pokedex, taming her type: null, and spending time with her friends. Her and her mom live together happily. Let's take a moment to tell you how much she loves her mom. Moon was told dad died when she was a baby so it's always just been her and her mom. Her mom is her hero and her idol. She's always been there for Moon, she always worked hard and she's earned enough money on her online job to keep her and Moon well off. Not to mention she'll heal Moon's pokemon for her whenever they're tired! To think she had the strength to do this alone! For the longest time, Moon always thought it was going to be just them as family and that was fine... until one day, she came home to find him in the house.

She never thought her mom would take on another man. She always figured that if she ever did, he'd be a great guy like professor Kukui or maybe someone like Nanu would have been preferable (though maybe a bit akward). But Moon never truly knew her mom's taste in guys. She found out her mom was seeing someone when she came home from just recently defending her title as champion. Moon then realized as she was getting a juice box that she was not alone in the kitchen. Staring at her from the table was Guzma... shirtless and eating a malasada. Alarmed, she grabbed on of her pokeballs.

"What are you doing here?!" She asked him, alarmed that he was in the house.

"Your mom." He responded with a smirk.

Moon thought he was being a smart ass or something. She glared at him.

"Not funny. Seriously, what the heck are you doing in my house? You can't just come in here like you own the place. Start talking or I'll make you talk." She asked him, half ready to release her pokemon.

"Kid... I wasn't kidding." Guzma said.

"Is something going on, babe- Oh... Hey Moon." Mom said, quickly hiding behind her bedroom door.

Her mom was only in a towel, her hair was wet. She and Guzma are... a thing?! She felt her whole body go cold. 'You have got to be kidding me!' Moon thought.

"Mom... what is going on?" She asked, distraught.

"I'm... I'm sorry, honey. I didn't want you to find out this way. Guzma and I have been seeing each other." She said.

Moon had to lean against the fridge to support herself. Her mom... is sleeping with... a criminal. How on earth does that work?! She's smarter than this, right?! She can't really think that having a thing with Guzma will pan out for her in the end, right?! This has got to be some kind of joke or a nightmare! This can't be real! How on earth can Moon forgive a man like Guzma for doing what he's done?! She has no respect for a man who causes others fear and pain just to feel powerful. He's just a big bully! She hated this guy! She didn't care if he's disbanded Team Skull and turned against Lusamine! That didn't mean he changed! He even said so himself that he wasn't going to change. Guzma snorted at Moon as she was losing her mind.

"I think we broke her." He chuckled.

Mom walked out of her room to her and held Moon's shoulders, still clad in only a towel. Moon looked at her in disbelief and she waited for her mom to smile and say 'Gotcha!' or indicate in some way that this was a cruel joke. But she looked into her daughter's eyes with that same look she would give her when firmly trying to explain something to her. She didn't have to tell Moon anything... that look already said it all: Guzma is not going anywhere.

"Moon, I need you to understand. I do care for him and I need you to give him a chance. Can you do that for me?" She asked, her eyes pleading.

Moon paused, her mouth still agape. How long had this been going on?! It couldn't have been going of for that long! She's already head over heels! She hadn't even been gone from home for that long! Moon stood up and walked out the door.

"I need to go." She said before leaving.

She ran down the road the moment she left out the door.

Guzma chuckled as he watched Moon walk out the door. He wasn't at all surprised by this, he even expected Moon to get upset. Moon's mom was definitely hurt though. She looked absolutely heart broken. Guzma sighed and got up. He walked over and hugged her. He may not look like the comforting type but he couldn't just stand to see his girlfriend hurt. You wouldn't know it by looking at him but Guzma does have a soft side to him but he rarely shows it. She would be the only one he was comfortable showing his soft side to for a long time.

"Kalani, she'll have to live with it whether she likes it or not. It's not like she'll just suddenly start calling me dad or something. Even if I were just another guy, that would have gone awkwardly." He said.

"Yeah but she's seen what you do and she's fought with you. She went against everything you stood for. She brought you down." Kalani said.

"Yeah and I probably wouldn't have come back. She whooped my butt and I had it coming. To top it off, she saved me and that crazy woman! Heh! You raised her well, Kalani. She already surpasses me. You raised a champion." Guzma said proudly.

Kalani smiled and rested her head against his shoulder. Her face then fell and she grew troubled.

"She believes you're dead, you know?" She said.

"Hey, that's not entirely my fault. You could have told her the truth... that her dad is a selfish criminal." Guzma said.

"It would have broke her heart if I told her what you had become. I just couldn't." Kalani said.

Guzma let out a sigh. Kalani and he both knew that Moon probably felt really betrayed. And after they finally tell her the truth, she will probably feel even more betrayed. What Guzma was nervous about was finding where he would fit in Moon's life. There was no way he could just waltz back into her life and be like 'hey, I'mma be your daddy from now on!' without any complaint... especially after what he did. And honestly, the main reason why he disbanded Team Skull and everything wasn't just because he realized that having Team Skull was pointless. It was also because he finally found Kalani again and to top that off, learn that he was a father... the father to the very first Alola champion. He knew he couldn't just keep being a criminal for all his life after hearing that. He wanted to try being a family or at least remain with Kalani. After everything he went through, he couldn't stand the thought of leaving Kalani again.

"If letting her think I've been dead all this time made her strong, I won't argue with you about that. But we can't just keep this hidden from her forever, Kalani. It's not right. Especially if we're going to be living in the same house... and honestly... I don't know if I myself could keep this a secret." Guzma said.

I have more to come... I just want to see how this idea will take off before I get totally into it. Note: in every story I write, Kalani is my name for Moon's mom. The name means 'the heavens' or 'the sky' and I think it also means 'chiefly one' but I liked that it meant what it did. It's a play on Moon's name.
