**AHEM** i have been completely obsessed with this character ever since the SM trailers. i celebrate his birthday every year, i have all his cards, i read pokespe solely because i wanted more content, i have plushies of every pokemon he owns and pictures of the aethers on my wall. we have established i am mentally ill and now i will explain to you why this man is totally an fi dom. a somewhat unhealthy fi dom but an fi dom in both the games and the anime gladion talks abt how he stayed away from the rest of society with silvally to make sure it wasn’t seen and possibly hurt. fi doms tend to both be very in tune with other people's emotions and make their decisions based on their own moral system instead of what's universally understood or logical. stealing silvally from the aether family in the first place was well.. a crime, and to the aethers, an injustice. but gladion acted on what he personally thought was right because he understood that silvally was suffering. big fi flag right off the bat fi doms tend to react emotionally to things even without logical reason. whenever silvally's suffering is brought up gladion either gets extremely angry or very, very sad. he also goes on rants about how he hates selfish people not understanding the feelings of pokemon and using them for their own selfish benefit WHERE IS TI anime gladion is also an fi dom you should go read my comment on gladion's anime profile but anyways. back to game gladion specifically. unlike characters like silver he was always kind to his pokemon, just. VERY socially inept. i mean, guys, you gotta give him some credit. he grew up in a rich kid family with no father figure past the age of like, 6, and was never given the opportunity to be friends with anyone but his sister (who he is constantly trying to shelter and protect despite the consequences of his recklessness, FI) so it's natural he just sucks at talking to people. To add on, at the aether foundation he says, "You know... I know we aren't friends. But I'm glad you two are here..." Which... considering he was the angry one aggressively emphasizing that you are Not friends, I always saw this as gladion showing a bit of who he really is underneath all of his distrust. his only company for the past 2 years besides memories of lillie was a street gang where he couldn't rely on anyone but himself. gladion is so caught up in his very fi mindset that he has to rely on his OWN morals, his OWN powers, and his OWN training that it ends up being harmful to himself. He's a very kind trainer who's very in tune with his emotions but doesn't understand how to properly express them!! He's a person with a great heart. His main moral conflict revolves around wanting to protect his family AND silvally, which is so fi but. Especially on his reunion with Lillie. Lillie is hurt and upset that her brother would leave her, and he apologizes to her! He feels guilty for not being there when she needed him, he was only trying to find a way to save Null, and he believes in her. "I'm sorry... I wasn't there for you when you needed me. All I could think about back then was finding a way to save Null... That was the battle I was fighting. But now you've found your own battle to fight. I know you can handle it." So much Fi in this line... He's just been alone so long he doesn't understand how to rely on anyone but himself, or how to trust anyone he hasn't known all his life. Gladion has been hurt by the people he hasn't established trust with, and sometimes by the people he has. His own mother literally told him that he and Lillie meant nothing to her. So yeah, that's both kind of concerning and in my eyes a big factor as to why Gladion's fi is so strong, he understands the pain that comes from his garbage mom and wants to protect other people, and pokemon, from it. He treats his pokemon with love & kindness constantly. Fi Silvally evolves with high friendship. but gladion didn’t know that. It was the first type null ever. He wasn’t kind to it with the intent of making it more powerful, he was kind to it because he understood it and loved it. Fi in aether when lillie is kidnapped and you’re exploring hes left standing outside the room where you were all investigating. the one that type:null was created in, and hau is still in his room exploring. he’s there when you come out of your own room as if he went in and out as fast as possible or didn’t go in at all.He talks about how much it hurts knowing silvally was in pain in that room, and how he can barely stand to even go inside since he knows it suffered there. He is so in tune with it's pain that he feels it. He was the first one to charge into the aether foundation to save lillie when they took her. He was so worried about her the whole time he keeps expressing his fear for her safety,. He literally doesn’t talk about anything else and he constantly urges you to hurry. I could go on about this
