[???] Young Rival

WHO: Bitty!Nikolai and Rocket!Will
WHAT: ... babysitting the Boss's son.
WHERE: A Sevii Island base.

Nikolai couldn't deny he was super excited to be out on the islands. The helicopter ride had been spent trying his hardest not burst from excitement, chattering away to his dad, and whoever was willing to listen to the ramblings of an 11 yearold.

Disembarking, he'd been forced to shove his hair up under a hat and stay close to his father. He didn't like it, but his dad said it was needed, even if it was only a short walk from the helicopter to the base enterance. Bree - his tenth birthday present of an eevee, was on a leash, the pokemon keeping up as he hurried after his father and the Elite. To think, one day he'd join them.

And then he'd been given the run of the base after dad had given him a lanyard with an ID on it. His father had meetings, but later he'd get to do things with dad, like try and catch his very own pokemon. But that was later, and this was now.

And he was a very, very curious child who was poking his nose into everything and anything, eevee trailing after him.
