You are Percival Williams, formerly asocial, friendless loner who could only properly talk to Pokémon. After a couple of hectic weeks, you’ve managed to somehow trick people into thinking you were cool and made some friends. You are currently relaxing with said group of weirdos in the crystalline waters of Luminescence Bay’s beach.

Right now, you catching you breathe after playing in the water with Eli, the ex-delinquent who’s traveling with you, a loud rambunctious, coarse, high spirited girl. Your first friend, and the only one who started hanging out with you by choice.

Not because she wanted to use you, or took pity of you, or was planning to pay you to do her job, not even because you share the same freakish ability or because you saved her from starving to death on a desert. She’s the only one who has seemed to genuinely like you as a person, from the start.

And under the bright sun, with seawater dripping from her barely tanned skin you can’t help but think that she looks amazing.

[Eli]: Dude! Stop zoning out! Watcha starin at?

And for some unexplainable reason, you feel compelled to tell her so.

>Try to compliment a girl without being a creep.
>Roll a dice to not butcher your thoughts as you run them trough your mouth and ruin a perfectly good moment by making everyone feel awkward.

>DC: 70 To not screw it up.
>80 to increase your smoothness.

Best of three.

No stutters, no weird or strange remarks, you manage to tell it like it is.

[Percy]: Sorry, I just thought you looked great.

Eli takes a second to process your compliment. Flustered, she tries to maintain her cool but fails to do so.

[Eli]: Jeez asshole, don’t drop those out of nowhere. Are you trying to make me blush or something?

[Percy]: Yeah, it makes you look even cuter.

[Eli]: Holy shit, when did you get like that?

Eli seems a bit fidgety and nervous, but somehow pleased with your comments. Seemingly enjoying the attention, you are giving her. She approaches you slowly as if she were trying to give you a better look.

[Eli]: Isn’t it a bit too much? I wanted something more modest, but blondie insisted on this. Kinda weird honestly.

She asks, in an astoundingly shy manner. You assure Eli that her swimsuit is fine as it is and mentally thank Kali for her input.

[Percy]: Hey, why don’t we come back next summer? Once we don’t have to worry about the league, we could enjoy the beach for a couple of days.

[Eli]: Well, I should be able to afford it once I’m the champ of the region anyway, but you mean, coming here with everyone? Or like…

>Yeah, if everyone could come that would be great!
>Sure, it's fun traveling together, you are kind of my best friend.

[Percy]: Whoever wants to tag along would be fine, as long as you are there

You notice that Eli is starting to blush even more intensely, she lowers her head a bit before stepping towards you, softly resting her head in your shoulder. You try to maintain your cool but you start to feel your heart rate increasing.

Then she starts chuckling softly before bursting out laughing.

[Eli]:What’s up with that kind of lame sappy line?

[Percy]: Lame? I thought I was being pretty cool back there!

[Eli]: Haha! you are the lamest!

[Eli]:But I’m a sucker for that kind of lines...

[Eli]:Alright weirdo! It’s decided! Let’s return next year! Fuck yeah! I’m feeling pumped!

[Eli]:And hey…You don’t look half bad either. For a scrawny nerd!

[Percy]: Shut up, I’m built for speed, it’s my highest base stat.

[Eli]:Prove it dork! Let’s race, first one to get behind those rocks wins!

[Eli]:I’ll be waiting for you weirdo!

Eli points to some rocky formations a bit deeper into the sea, it’s hard to see what’s back there so it could easily be used as a more private spot, it’s a bit awkward to use it as a finish line, but eh, who cares?

Before you can get to swimming, you notice a dangerously drunk Professor Maple stumbling throughout the beach holding a tray with various drinks she just prepared, a concerned Gareth tries to stop her as she approaches Jeanne and Kali but the Professor assures him that there’s no alcohol in the drinks.

>Let’s help Gareth and take the tray out of Professor Maple’s hands, better be safe than sorry.
>Just let this happen, even if they got something weird mixed in you are sure your friends are sensible enough to not drink anything strange. You got a race to win! (Needs roll to beat Eli: Hard)

Deciding to not worry about Dr.Maple's drunken shenanigans and focus

You get into position, focusing solely in your victory, even if Eli is more physically inclined than you, you are confident in your speed.

Eli: You ready nerd? Let's fuckin go!

Some of your and Eli's mon caught wind of your little competition and start to cheer on their respective trainers.

The two of you dive into the sea and start racing against each other

You start to swim as fast as you can, she always manages to awaken some sort of competitivity inside you, and a desire to look cool in front of her.

You are giving it all you got, but once she starts to catch up, you abandon any intention of looking “cool”. Instead of taking strokes like a normal person you channel your inner *Golduck* quacking like a madman as you push your limbs to their limits. You overtake Eli swiftly and manage to finish line before her.

You get out of the water and lean against one of the rocks, panting heavily while you celebrate your victory, rubbing it on Eli’s face, she demands a rematch, but you can’t muster enough force to keep swimming. She climbs on top of one of the smoother rocks, large enough to let the two of you sit for a moment and catch your breath. Because of the rock formation, you can’t see what’s going on with your other friends back at the beach and they probably can’t see you either.

[Eli]: Damn, blondie was right, you got a good pair of legs.

[Percy]: What?

[Eli]: Nothing.

[Eli]: Shit, I wish this kind of moments lasted longer.

[Percy]: What do you mean?

[Eli]: Ya know, when we start getting more badges and battles get more serious, we won’t get many chances to fool around ya know? Gotta get those sponsors, make a name for ourselves, get into the league, all that shit… Then the summer ends and we are back to our shitty everyday lives.

[Eli]: So, I want to enjoy these moments to the fullest. And things are pretty fun when I’m around ya.

You mull over Eli's words for a bit, she sounded strangely melancholic when she mentioned the part about going back to town, you can sympathize with the feeling, You know this adventure won’t last forever, and you know you’ll have to deal with tons of problems in the future, mostly regarding White Veil and the Behemoths. She’s right, you might not get many moments like this later on.

[Eli]: What’s the matter nerd? Do you want a prize for winning or something? Cause I might just humor ya.

You stare at her for a moment, the girl is sitting by your side. When did she get so close? She looks as bright as ever as she gives you that big, confident grin of hers.

Kissing her in broad daylight, with our friends close enough to butt in while potentially drunk, with loose ends in the form of Jeanne and potentially still Viv? Too many potential risks for my liking - I say go either for the lap pillow, which can be played off as just goofing off, or handholding, which demands respect in its depraved innocence.

You can’t hold back anymore.

You turn to her, face to face, you slowly approach her, without thinking about the consequences of your actions, moving only on reflex. Eli seems confused at first but after a second, she starts approaching as well. You can feel your heart beating so hard that it might just burst forth from your throat, which would definitely ruin this moment.

Closing your eyes, you slowly and gently plant a kiss on her lips. You can barely taste the saltwater on them. It’s barely a couple of seconds long, but right now it feels so meaningful, it’s not something you’ll forget so easily.

You pull back for a moment, just barely so, waiting for her response. The idea of her hesitating or outright rejecting you makes your heart sink. But she tears away those fears when she leans forward, and her lips met yours once again. This time a bit more forcefully, more intense.

You have no idea of what you are supposed to do here, trying to act out your idea of what a kiss is you keep going slowly, trying to be a gentleman about it.

You keep going, just doing what it feels right. Your lips move a bit awkwardly and slowly, but so does hers. It’s a strange learning experience, but it’s certainly an enjoyable one. As the two of you start getting more comfortable with the act, things start to escalate.

You start slowly caressing her skin, your right-hand passes from the shoulder to her arm, and then slowly moving towards her hips. Your other hand reaches towards her back and pulls her into an embrace, Eli responds by softly biting your lips as the two of you lay down in the smooth rock floor.

As you start to lose yourself in the kiss, wishing it would keep going and going, the act comes to a halt. Eli abruptly stops, pushing herself away from you. You open your eyes and see the girl blushing madly. There are three things in your mind right now, Eli looks beautiful, saltwater has never been so tasty, and you are praying that you don’t have a boner right now.


[Eli]: Y-y-y-yo

[Eli]: W-w-ait a sec.

[Eli]: W-w-we should stop.

[Percy]: W-w-wait why? this is great! At least for me. Shit, I’m I doing something wrong? WAIT, you didn’t want this. I was like 86% sure you wanted it too!

[Eli]: Of course I want this idiot! It’s just that, I think this is too fast.

[Eli]: Shit, fuck, shit, I.. goddamit just let me get my thoughts in order so I can spew them out.

[Eli]: We’ve been hanging around for almost and month and you are, like, my best fuckin friend. Fuck that’s pathetic. And I don’t want to ruin that in a whim…

[Eli]: If we are going to start, ehm, “this” it’s gotta be serious, for reals. No half-hearted summer floozy romance shit.

[Eli]: If it’s with you I want something for the long run.

[Eli]: Shit that sounds so fuckin lame. Great job asshole you are rubbing your lameness on me!

[Percy]: You sure it isn’t the other way around?

[Eli]: (snort) shut up nerd!

She playfully punches your arm, softer than usual.

[Percy]: So, what should we do now?

[Eli]: I got no fucking idea man! I mean, this is a first for me

[Percy]: I don’t think this is a mistake.

[Percy]:You get me, even when you don’t totally get me.

[Percy]:But…I don’t wanna freak you out, and rush into things.

[Percy]:And more importantly, I wanna be able to understand you too.

[Percy]:So, I think we should keep things like they are, and see what happens. No need to rush things.

[Eli]:I really like that idea…

The two of you make some distance between one another, sitting back on the rock. You said that but you aren’t sure if you can keep true to your words, it feels as if something about your relationship with Eli just changed forever. Even if you tried to go back at being just friend, it would be very difficult to remove these feelings completely.

>You’ve become more intimate with Eli.

She nonchalantly rests her head against your shoulder, saying that she wants to spend some time together before returning with the others, you don’t have a reason to object.

[Eli]:Hey, you better fuckin treasure this moment alright? Can’t give a first kiss twice.

[Percy]:It’s going to be pretty hard to forget. Still, I’ll better write it down the date somewhere.


Once the afterglow of the kiss starts to dwindle you start to notice the things around you, first of all, the rock you two are laying on is actually very uncomfortable, there’s also a pair of Krabby standing on top of another rocky formation complaining about humans using their territory as a place to mate, and are arguing if they should pinch you both or not.

You notice Aleida peeking at the two of you from inside the water. Her mouth agape. Her expression scared and confused. The moment Eli notices her she bolts up and starts to freak out.

>>3609067

[Eli]:FUCK, when did you get there!?

[Aleida]: Since before you started doing, those “things”. I would have said something I didn’t want to interrupt you.

[Percy]:What are you doing here?!

[Eli]:Yeah! We are trying to have a moment here!

[Aleida]: Your racing seemed fun so I wanted to join in, but then you started licking each other faces, and I don’t think I should join on that.

[Aleida]: Also, things where getting a bit strange back at the beach so I wanted to play on the sea for a bit.

[Aleida]: Is this normal human behavior for trainers traveling together? Is this expected to happen in some manner?

>Don’t worry about it Aleida, seriously, don’t even think about it.
>Are you asking because of Dick?
>Not really, just in few cases, most trainer relationships are doomed to fail after the summer. Or result in a shotgun marriage because of accidental pregnancy, when you think about it it’s kind of irresponsible to let teenagers wander off during an entire summer, also most people don’t even take training their mons seriously!

[Percy]: Kind of? My parents started dating during their journey.
[Percy]: It only happens if everything lines up, like when a Slowpoke accidentally catches a Shellder when fishing with its tail and it evolves!

[Percy]: It's hard to explain,

[Percy]: Pretend you are a guy! Or that you are into girls! Actually, are you into girls? Whatever, the point is, just imagine that you are this smart albeit awkward guy who has no idea of how to interact with anyone who isn’t a Pokémon.

[Percy]: And by pure chance you met this girl who seems a bit rough at first, but you start to hang around because you two have a common goal, and you find out that’s she’s easy to talk to, and that you enjoy hanging out with her. And she always manages to incite this fun competitive feel to things, and it pushes you to try and better yourself just a bit. And when things get rough you know she has your back, and she’s fucking fearless taking down giant Hipppowdons for fun. And she tolerates all your weird mannerisms and even listens to you when you start rambling about obscure Poké-trivia because you don’t know how to talk to someone otherwise?

[Eli]: Oh god, dude stop.


[Percy]: And when she gets close to you, she makes you feel really nervous but the good kind of nervous? And it feels almost impossible to not want to kiss her? And for some unexplainable reason, she feels the same way?

[Eli]:That’s the kinda shit you should tell me in private!

[Percy]: You understand that?

[Aleida]: You lost me after the Slowpoke metaphor.

[Percy]: Eh, you'll know when it happens, if it happens.

A really flustered Eli is telling you to shut up, for some reason, your completely unspecific example that could apply to anyone has set her off.

>>3609715
-----------------------------------------
It doesn’t’ take long to arrive back at the beach. And Aleida was right, things are getting out of hand.

Your and Eli’s Pokémon have turned their sandcastles into what you can only call “Sand Fortresses”, they are busy attacking each other constructions, trying to take them down while desperately reinforcing their defenses. Vulpix seems to be leading Kadabra and Loudred against Eli’s mons.

For some reason, she has exiled Prince from her “Sand-Kingdom” so he has taken refugee with Gareth’s team, building their own smaller and weaker faction who are desperately trying to survive the skirmishes. Seeing all of this action, Alexandro the Bagon and the rest of Dick’s team decided to engage as well,

“Alexandro: WE'LL SUBJUGATE ALL THE SMALL KINGDOMS UNDER MY RULE! IM THE ONLY ONE FIT TO BE A KING!”

So they started building their own sand base as well, this small little war seems to be nearing its climax. It’s really curious to see the interest and mannerism that trained mons pick up once they start interacting with human society and culture.

Houndour is currently buried under the sand, only his head is sticking out, he seems surprisingly relaxed, you ask him if he isn’t going to intervene in the all-out war that the mons are cooking up. “Sorry partner, not my problem, at least not for today.” He seems to be pretty calm, good for him.

[Jeanne]: Like, I don’t even waaaaant to be a dumb exorcist. Buuut nooo, “that’s our holy mission Jeanne”, “We must keep the dark forces at bay Jeanne”, “The gates of hell are about to open Jeanne” shut up old maan, you are not even my real dad.

[Jeanne]: Everyday I’m chasing dumb ghosts, that half the time are ghost Pokémon, and then I’m stuck raising them cause the old man won’t be r-responsible for them. I just w-w-want to go to college in the c-c-city, and have a normal life, and get m-m-married or something.

[Jeanne]: Oh god, why won’t he let me call him dad? Am I not good enough? What’s wrong with mee? Oh god, there are so many things wrong with meeee. (Drunken sobbing)

[Kali]: I get you, I totally, get you. But screw them! We don’t need them. Look at me, I’m doing great! My stupid grandpa is never home, they don’t care, so why should we care?

[Jeanne]: Y-y-you, are so right!

[Dick]: I must say, that partaking in the consumption of this kind of illicit substance and acting out in this unladylike manner, It’s completely improper for a pair of young ladies such as yourselves.

[Kali]: Leave her alone Richard, she’s going through some stuff.

[Jeanne]: THAT’S RIGHT! Get that STICK of your ASS, you, you, meanie, s-s-short, a-s-s-ssshole.

[Jeanne]:I-I-I-’m sorry, I didn’t mean to s-S-Say that. Y-y-y-you are not an asshole, I don’t even know you. I shouldn’t call you that. W-w-why I am like this? (More drunken sobbing)

[Kali]:Shush. It’s alright, you aren’t so bad. Shush.

[Kali]: C’mon Richard, don’t be such a wet blanket. Maybe if you grabbed a drink as well you might unwind a little bit. Or are you afraid that you’ll get in trouble? That someone might tell your mommy?


[Dick]: S-such foolishnes! I’m a Blackstone! The rules that apply to the common folk mean nothing to me! Pass me a drink!


You see Jeanne gulping down those drinks that Professor Maple prepared, and boy, she’s going HARD on them and she looks like a mess, a drunk, sobbing, emotional mess. Kali is keeping her company, drinking as well, albeit a bit more calmly, but she’s clearly more unhinged than usual. And Richard seems to be about to join her unless you stop this right now.

There’s also a somber-looking Gareth who’s still working the grill, there’s a hint of guilt in his expression as if he felt responsible for this whole shitshow, he has the look of a defeated man.
By his side and even drunker and uninhibited Professor Maple is preparing more drinks.

>Drunk girls.

You decide to approach the duo of INHEBRIATED girls, Jeanne seems far worse than Kali but both of them are clearly buzzed. Their words are slurred, and their movements are sluggish. Jeanne is still bawling her eyes off about the plethora of problems that seem to surround her life while Kali tries to console her to some degree.

You decide to mentally convey a message to Victoria, hoping that she answers.

“Are you seeing this Vic? Don't drink and psychic.”

“Actually, you shouldn’t drink at all, you are too young. We shouldn’t be doing it either way, but I don’t think I can stop this.”

[Victoria]: I don’t want to talk to you right now. I’m mad.

“Why? Because of what happened back there? I thought we were cool about this! You are not going to try anything dangerous right?”

[Victoria]: Calm down, I won’t possess your body while you are asleep and cut HER throat open during the night.

[Victoria]: I’m just a bit angry.

“Scary thought. Wait, are you jealous?”

[Victoria]: N-no, I’m just worried about you. Still, I’m mad, won’t talk.

[Victoria]: Keep an eye on my sister for me, please.

You think that her “jealous little sister” act would be really cute if it weren’t so threatening.

-------------------
After some nagging from Kali’s part, the girl convinces Richard to partake in some ILLICIT UNDERAGE DRINKING.

She tries the same strategy with Eli but she vehemently refuses, turning down any offers of strange drinks. The pink haired delinquent looks just a tiny bit uncomfortable.

[Kali]: C’mon, just a sip….

[Eli]: Yeah, I’m not touching that stuff.

[Kali]: Pft, booring.

>It’s not very effective…

Aleida is also here, still confused and unsure of what to do.

[Kali]: What about you Percival? Or are you too much of a Wimpod to do so?

[Percy]:I’ll let you know that’s pretty offensive to Wimpod as a species, their behavior is the result of millions of years of evolution to adapt themselves, considering their physiology it’s the most optimal method of survival that they could…

[Kali]:Shut your mouth and drink.

You decide to be responsible for a change and refuse any sort of potential liquor.

[Percy]: I'm weird enough when I'm sober.

Eli seems strangely relieved about this, and so does Aleida who has decided to follow your examples and not drink any of that “Funny smelling juice”.

Look at you! Refusing alcohol and not succumbing to peer pressure. Mimikyu would be proud.

[Kali]: WOW PERCY, YOU MUST BE REALLY PROFICIENT AT SPEAKING TO “Purugly”

[Percy]: Not in particular, when it comes to feline-mons I’m better at talking to Meowth and…

[Kali]: BECAUSE YOU ARE A GIANT PUSSY.

[Percy]:That’s uncalled for.

Dick seems to be getting inebriated pretty quickly, maybe it has something to do with how short he is. You are almost a head taller than the guy.

Jeanne takes a moment to stop crying into Kali’s bosom and finally notices you, she drunkenly stumbles into you, hugging you tight, pressing her slender body against yours. Eli looks just a bit pissed about it but tries to hide it.

She starts going on and on about how she feels like SHIT for not contacting you sooner, then she calls you a HORRIBLE PERSON for never replying to all the letters she sent to you when you were kids. Then you remember OUT LOUD that you never even bothered opening them since you were still going through your “NOT TALK TO HUMANS PHASE” when she sent them.

[Jeanne]: N-no-o, I get it. Why would anyone want to t-talk to me? I’m j-just a boring, lame country girl who can’t mind her own business.

[Dick]:Actually, Madeleine Town’s economy and infrastructure has grown so much in recent years that it’s actually considered a developing urban area.

[Dick]:In conclusion, you would be a “boring, lame, small city girl”


[Percy]: You are not helping, Dick.

[Jeanne]: LIKE, what kind of boy would even like me? I’m so hideously tall and flat! I’m like an Alolan Exeggutor.

[Jeanne]: But he didn’t mind that, I want to hear that manic laugh again, tend to his injuries after he arrived from a turf war with other gangs…

[Jeanne]: Why do I miss him so much? I wish he was here! I want to kiss his dumb stupid face and I don’t even know his name, what the hell is wrong me? I’m like a battered housewife in the making.

[Jeanne]: And I don’t even know how to kiss if I tried, I’ll p-probably ju-just mess it up, like I mess e-e-everything else.

[Jeanne]: M-m-maybe if I could get some p-practice…

She gets her face her closer to yours, her movements are a bit wobbly and her breathe reeks of alcohol.

[Jeanne]: I m-mean, you are a b-boy, whom I trust, and you are as t-tall as him, and you l-look just like him… maybe I c-c-ould pretend that you-

[Eli]: OI, YO, YO, YO, YO, CUT THAT SHIT OUT.

[Jeanne]: Don’t worry, i-it-s just practice, it d-d-doesn’t count, right?

[Dick]:What the fuck is going on.

[Aleida]: You are confused too? That’s great! I thought I was the only one!

[Eli]: NO, NO, BITCH DON’T.


Eli looks like she’s about to tackle Jeanne into the ground.
Dick isn’t sure of what is real anymore.
Kali is laughing her ass off.
Aleida wonders if the food is ready.

Percy just kissed the girl he likes not even ten minutes ago. This is way too much in too short a time. Escape the situation or deflect.

>>3612324
But Arsonist is unironically based. There could be worse people for her to go after
>>
>>3612324
Arsonist is a good guy at heart I believe, it wouldn't be that bad if she went for him
>>
>>3612324
I would like to see Percival trying to explaining to Jeanne she's experiencing Stockholm Syndrome. Some of his pokemon overhear and they start to question their one feelings for their trainer.

>I’m like a battered housewife in the making.
Fuck, that's hot.
>>
>>3612887
>Arsonist is a good guy at heart I believe
Anon. I really didn't expect to say this but that is the most cliche excuse victims of an abusive other say. Please open your eyes. but yeah, Medi would definitely make him a good boi at heart, I just think what you said was pretty funny.

>>3612436

>Huh Jeanne and comfort her. Tell her there’s gonna be more people out there then crazy fucking arsonists and kidnappers and she deserves better

Subtly refuse to kiss though. Jeanne is good waifu but also wanna not hurt Eli. Don’t hurt both by doing this. Jeanne gets comfy hugs and pep talk instead, hope that’ll suffice for now :)
>>
>>3614755
>hug
>>
>>3614755
Jeanne is good waifu, but she cannot compare to Kali or Eli.
>>
>>3614765
All waifus deserve a chance Anon. That’s why they are all called waifus.

The only problem I have with Jeanne is that her self esteem is fucking non existent. It makes her look cuter sometimes, but I hate seeing her always down and sad :(

I’d say I like Eli and Jeanne the most, but all waifus deserve a chance
That’s why I vote for being diplomatic and kind to Kali
>>
>>3614770
I can agree with your first two statements. Jeanne's lack of self-esteem can appear cute and vulnerable, but it also can make her appear pathetic. I would love to see other girls help gain some self-esteem.

As for you last statement, nice.
>>
>>3614790
I am glad we were able to understand each others views :)

Thanks :) I’m glad you approve

I sometimes wish that we could have a harem
Like in Gobble’s quest
We wouldn’t have to hurt anyone who likes us and we could accept all the waifus and all be happy :)
But QM is not gobble QM is QM
And I guess whatever happens I will have to accept :p
>>
>>3614790
Also I don’t think Jeanne should go for that strong and independent wahmen nonsense
Jeanne’s traits create a sense of unity and comfort
Her father is a crazy priest so she was at a church, a place of community and morality
And she heals others
She can be strong sure but her strengths lie in helping others so she can have healthy dependence while still being confident and self assured
>>
>>3614812
A harem would be appreciated, but neither Percival or the girls seem like the type of people to form one, and it would detract focus from our pokemon friends and our quest to save- Holy fuck! We have a lot of people to save!

>>3614820
I meant that she would gain enough self-esteem to stop be self-disparaging. Besides, strengths comes in many forms such as you demonstrated.
>>
>>3614823
Oh lord yes we have a lotta people to save
I’m surprised the world hasn’t gone to shit

Yeah so did I :)
And thanks :)
I was just trying to say that the trend of focusing on independence has its problems and that we should understand we can both be strong alone and strong together
>>
>>3614823
And yeah I don’t think a harem is going to happen
If there was one there may be one between Eli and Jeanne bc they both like Percy and are the kindest besides Aleida

No harem faggotry please. It's shit and completely brings down characters every time it's forced.
To have a girl like Eli be okay with sharing her partner with anyone would go against what she's been established to be all about, how she was raised. She's a tomboy with a punkish dress sense but she's responsible, chaste and safe as fuck, in just this beach episode she admitted to not liking or wanting this thing with Percy to just be some hormonal teen summer fling, she also doesn't care for the underage drinking going on and this is just from this thread alone, going through any other you can see more and more of Eli and how she carries herself. To even think Eli would be okay with polygamy is so far removed from reality that it can't even be considered wishful thinking.

Aleida is socially inept and doesn't even seem to understand the bare minimum of cues or even care at all for romance, she seems like the Goku type that's unable to tell the difference between familial love and romantic love. Sure if Percy managed to convince her to be his "mate" he could also come up with some bullshit Pokemon fact for her to be okay with harems, but seriously, a relationship with Aleida as she is with the aim of doing something like that is not healthy and makes Percy seem like a trash human for it.

Jeanne screams no self esteem and mistakes waiting to happen. Like she said "Battered wife in the making", she's so desperate she's Stockholm syndrome'd herself too.
She's the kind of girl that would agree to it but die a little inside every time she witnessed Percy be intimate with another girl in any way. She doesn't respect herself and is desperate enough to not put her foot down. Harem route would gimp her chances of developing into a more self assured and well adjusted person like Eli, not only that but it would again bring down Percy for taking advantage of someone like that.

Harems are and always will be trash and cancer to stories. Save it for hentai and other trashy anime/video games where it belongs.
This quest is pretty fun and comfy, with interesting characters and plots, I don't want to see it go down the drain because of a bunch of haremfags. Pick on girl and stick with it damn it!

>>
>>3615296
Fair points Anon. I disagree that harems can’t be written well, but your points do make sense :)
>>
>>3615296
Also I wasn’t wishing for a harem for the sake of it
I just like both Eli and Jeanne, and I sorta think that with the way things are going, some serious drama is going to happen, considering how fucked up Jeanne seems to be :( I think she needs therapy
Don’t get why you guys seem to let the Arsonist thing slide either. He’s a deranged lunatic, and yes he might be a kid and actually have some good qualities, but he’s clearly on his way to becoming complete psychotic

Anyways these are my thoughts, didn’t mean to alarm anyone

[Percy]: Kali, HELP!

You push Jeanne towards Kali direction, the girl clumsily stumbles upon Kali’s arms, clinging tightly onto her. You give Kali an enthusiastic thumbs up and she responds whit a glare.

[Jeanne]: W-w-why won’t he do it?

[Kali]: Believe me, you could do much better than him.

[Jeanne]: Like you?

[Kali]: Oh wow, let’s NOT go there, please.

Jeanne turns towards you. Her eyes are watery, and she looks deeply regretful.

[Jeanne]: I’m-I’m s-sorry Percy

[Jeanne]: T-t-this is so wrong, y-you are like a cute little b-b-brother to me.

[Percy]: We are almost the same age.

[Jeanne]: MY LITTLE, BABY BROTHER. (sniff) Look at you! TALKING to people. So confident, smart, fearless, reliable, so good with Pokémon. I, (snff) I’m so proud of you.

[Percy]: Thanks, I’m pretty Poké-cool.

[Jeanne]: It’s just that you just look so much like him, almost like twins… oh god, that’s like having the hots for my s-stepbrother. That’s s-s-so wrong…

[Jeanne]: It’s so i-immoral, and dirty, like those DISGUSTING and VILE anime cartoons from the eastern regions.

[Dick]:HEY! First of all, ANIME isn’t just “cartoons”, Anime is the pinnacle of animation. A high form of art that should be treated with RESPECT.

[Dick]: And second, it isn’t disgusting nor immoral! I’m sorry that your western sensibilities are so ingrained in that fragile little brain of yours that they automatically catalog such complicated themes as pure vulgarity. Anime isn’t afraid to tackle such taboo themes for the sake of art.

[Jeanne]: IT’S TRASH! IT’S PERVERTED! IT’S SH-SHI-, It’s b-b-bad, AND NOBODY SHOULD WATCH IT!

[Dick]: You are just too weak for Anime. Maybe, if you tried to broaden your horizons and give it a chance you may find something that suits your palate.

[Jeanne]: ALL OF IT IS THE SAME! YOU GOT THIS BUNCH OF GIRLS DRESSED LIKE SL-sl-slu, strumpets. AND THEY ARE ALWAYS BEING GROPED BY SOME RANDOM GUY, OR GROPING EACH OTHER, OR BEING GROPED BY TENTACLES AND MAKING THOSE DUMB ~~kyaaa~~ NOISES.

[Percy]: What kind of shows have you been watching?

[Jeanne]: W-w-well, I mean, you know… the u-usual? Ehm, ENOUGH, I’ve watched ENOUGH to k-know that, there’s no such thing as a GOOD ANIME. IT’S UNHOLY!


[Jeanne]: ANIME IS A SIN.


[Dick]: TAKE THOSE WORDS BACK!

Sorry for the lateness and the lack of updates yesterday anons, it's been a busy weekend.
>>
>>3617328
[Jeanne]: No! It’s true! The only thing worse than Anime is its fans! They are mean, cruel, vindictive persons who hide behind a mask of anonymity online to make fun of you just because you wanted to talk about some cute “Magical Girl” shows you used to watch in some dumb internet forum! And suddenly all of them jump on you! And tell you h-h-horrible things… Just like YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!

[Dick]: I’m not doing such thing. I’m merely stating facts.

[Jeanne]: NO! YOU ARE BEING REALLY MEAN! AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!

[Dick]: Oh really? And how do you intend to do so? Come at me, you commoner! Issue your challenge!

[Jeanne]: A BATTLE! Mareep, fetch me my Pokéballs.

[Dick]: As you wish! ANKHATI! Go gather the team! We’ve got a battle in our hands.

[Kali]: This is a riot. I love it.

Jeanne seems to be trying to wiggle her way out of Kali’s grasp and ponce onto Dick to give him a piece of her mind, thankfully Kali restrains her so the girl doesn’t do more things that she’ll probably regret once she’s sober.

Mareep approaches her trainer, looking a tad worried, she asks Jeanne if she’s sure about this and tries to make her trainer reconsider her decision. But Jeanne INSISTS on battling it out.

[Percy]: Wait, you got mons other than Mareep? You are not sending her by herself against Dick’s team, are you?

[Jeanne]: O-of course not! Well, they aren’t really MY Pokémon, I just raise them and take care of them until I can find them a good home. Since the priest doesn’t allow ghost types to stay in our home…

[Jeanne]: I snuck them out w-with me today, just in case…

[Percy]:Oh, then go ahead! Have fun!

She looks a bit sad when she explains why she can’t keep them.

[Eli]:Hey nerd, shouldn’t you be stopping them? You are the closest thing we got to a voice of reason right now.

[Percy]:Nah, they’ll probably tire each other after this.

[Dick]: Pfft, monotype team? Piece of cake. Alright Ankhati, gather the rest!

As Dick commands his Cacnea to go gather the rest of his teammates, a seemingly pissed off Aleida starts to reprimand him for his actions.

[Aleida]: Just what do you think you are doing?

[Aleida]: Are you going to force your friends to fight for such dumb and petty reason? We talked about this! I get that battles are important for trainers and experience, but this is just stupid!

[Dick]: I-it’s not petty! She insulted me, Anime and everyone who enjoys such fine spectacle! I can’t let that slide, honor is on the line!

[Aleida]: Then, if it’s so important to fight between yourselves! Don’t involve your Pokémon!

[Dick]:How do you intend me to fight without my team?

[Aleida]: I dunno, go punch her in the face! A human battle if you will.

[Dick]:I can’t punch a girl in the face! They are delicate… and soft, a gentleman wouldn’t do that. A gentleman should protect girls! Human girls to be specific.

[Aleida]: You think I’m delicate and soft? Wait, that doesn’t matter! You should at least consult it with your team first, dummy. Treat them with respect so you can build up your trust!

[Dick]: (Grumble) Ugh, sure. Whatever, I’ll talk to them.

[Aleida]: Great! It’s good to know. That even if you are intoxicated it isn’t so hard to bring out your good side!

[Dick]: (flustered) …shut up, I’ve got to concentrate.

[Aleida]: Do your best!

Even if Dick looks annoyed at his traveling partner, he seems to take Aleida’s words to heart, asking which mons of his team are up for this battle. Zoroaster the Gallade is the first to volunteer, as his trainer, he can’t condone anyone who speaks ill of the beautiful 2D maidens. Ankhati is also ready to battle, he’s on a payroll after all and he gets bonuses every time he performs well in battle.

It’s surprising how well a Cacnea has adapted himself to capitalism.

Mareep finally arrives with Jeanne’s backpack, she takes out two Pokéballs from it and releases her combatants. A Mismagius and a Litwick. The pair of ghosts seem enthralled by their freedom at first, but they become noticeably worried once they notice Jeanne severely drunken state. They try to ask their caretaker if she’s alright, but she tells them that they only need to worry about winning this battle!

It's hard to predict it all without knowing specifics and each 'mon's current movesets, but...

Cacnea heavily favor offense over defence, with a decent split between direct physical attack and special attacks. If Dick's somehow taught it Sandstorm, it can probably use its natural affinity for sandy conditions to boost its evasion... And if it knows Feint Attack it can make it really hurt.

Gallade on the other hand is way ahead due to being in its final evolved form, so it's strong, fast, and has awesome MIND BULLETS.

Unfortunately... Jeanne's got fucking GHOSTS. The major issue is that Zoroaster eats complete shit against Ghost moves and Litwick's Fire Spin (which it usually learns at a pretty low level) is going to be nasty for Ankhati, and ditto for its Flame Body if it has it - Feint Attack is Ankhati's hardest hitter here if he has it, but he risks getting burned if it lands. Immunity to Normal and Fighting type moves might also be an issue, but meh.

The big thing Dick's team has going is that they train regularly and Jeanne's doesn't. Hell, it sounds like they don't even get to leave their balls very often. Mismagius is probably the higher level of the two, but in terms of raw stats and level the advantage is almost certainly Dick's. One well-placed Fire Spin from Litwick (again, if it knows it) can pretty much trap Ankhati in a really bad spot, so it's basically going to boil down to how heavily Zoroaster out-stats Mismagius - if the gap is too wide, his Special Defense might be able to hold up against her Ghost attacks long enough to beatstick her with a couple of well-placed Psychic moves. And Arceus forbid either of the ghosties know Curse, holy shit.

Also... Both trainers are drunk to varying degrees so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>
>>3621215
Oh, and there's a chance that Zoroaster can one-shot Litwick if the lil guy is low-level enough, which basically leaves Dick's team free to roflstomp Mismagius with pretty much whatever they feel like. And since Gallade will almost definitely win the initiative here... It basically boils down to how drunk Dick actually is. DAT ALCOHOL META THO.

You decide to ignore the drunken trash talk going on between your friends and instead focus on giving your full attention to this battle, analyzing every little detail of the battler’s mons before they even launch the first attack. Dick’s team seems more focused and ready for the fight. Ankhati is wearing a set of *BLACK GLASSES* while Zoroaster is equipped with a Quick Claw.

But Jeanne’s mons seems more decided, they look ready to do anything for their caretaker. They seem a bit older in age than Dick’s mons, they probably spent a good deal of time as wild mons before they ended up in Jeanne’s care.

Rolling for these losers.
First three rolls are Dick’s.
>+15 actually trained mons.
>-5 His inebriated ass.

The second set of three rolls are Jeanne’s mons.

>>3622831
Dick
>53+15-5: 63
Jeanne:
>58-10: 48

Once the battle begins you start to analyze and breakdown every single movement and attack that the mons do.

Dick is still seething and wants to end this fight as soon as possible, opting for a more aggressive approach he commands Zoroaster to strike first with a *Night Slash* aimed at Mismagius whom him considers the biggest threat, nonetheless, the Ghost-type is zippy and manages to easily avoid the Gallade’s blade, her movements are quick and precise

Mismagius retaliates by screeching in pain, as she sacrifices her health to *Curse* the Gallade. Ankhati strikes at Mismagius with an unavoidable *Feint Attack* lowering her health to a critical state, the strike from the Cacnea’s limb sends her straight into the sand.

Litwick uses *Confuse Ray* on Ankhati, the flame on his head starts shining brightly, flickering on and off making the Cacnea dizzy.

Zoroaster feels the effects of the *Curse* taking its toll on him.

This time, Mismagius moves faster than Zoroaster, using *Pain Split* on Ankhati to recover some health while sapping a good portion of the Cacnea’s life force.

Dick curses at this turn of events and decides that it’s time to take her seriously.

He tells Zoroaster to wait for a “certain kill” the Gallade nods and seemingly vanishes away with a *teleport* before appearing behind Mismagius and delivering a nasty *Night Slash* to her neck, knocking her out, and then teleporting back to safety. This little trick seems to have taken a toll on the Gallade as he seems a bit disoriented after doing it, more open to attacks and a bit slower.

Ankhati tries to start up a *Sandstorm* to increase his evasion, but he hurts himself in its confusion, Litwick uses this chance to trap him into a *Fire Spin* and damaging him even further, the Cacnea is unable to approach Litwick without burning itself, as the heath saps even more of its health away sending him into a near-critical state.

Zoroaster is once again hurt by the *Curse* placed on him, he moves onto the Litwick to finish him off with another normal *Night Slash*, it’s a nasty slash but it’s not strong enough to knock him out in a single strike! As the Gallade’s blades tears trough Litwick wax body and Ankhati prepares a *Dark Pulse* to finish off his opponent without having to approach him Jeanne tries to tell his mon to bet everything on *Flame Burst* hoping to knock out Zoroaster and that the “splash damage” is enough to defeat Ankhati.

But she chokes on her words before she can give the command. Jeanne starts to puke mid-sentence. Kali lets her go as Jeanne falls to her knees. The confused Cacnea manages to use *Dark Pulse* and finishes off the Litwick.

Richard approaches the defeated girl, who’s pathetically whimpering in the sand.

[Dick]: I underestimated your team, and that almost cost me my victory. Next time I won’t be so naive.

[Dick]: I recognize your Pokémon’s strength but still, you are lacking as a trainer! Keep that in mind next time you try to challenge a BLACKSTONE to a fight.

Jeanne just keeps crying unintelligibly, apologizing to her mons for being such a failure of a trainer. While she heals them with some Revives and Potions.

[Kali]: Richard, leave her alone! Can’t you see she’s not doing alright? Just piss off.

[Dick]: I’m just teaching her a lesson.

[Kali]: I said FUCK OFF!

As the words come out of Kali’s mouth Dick’s spirits crumble away, he earned his victory, but at what cost? While Kali takes Jeanne back to the villa to clean herself off a depressed Dick goes to sit near the beach.

[Eli]:So…

[Eli]: Who’s hungry?

>You are! let’s go get some burgers.
>Actually, you wanted to talk to Jeanne’s mons, you got a couple of questions.
>You wanted to talk to Zoroaster, maybe he can explain to you his cool teleporting trick.

Jeanne definitely needs comforting more than Dick does, but we are sorely underequipped to deal with female, emotionally volatile, AND drunk, especially when we are at least some part of what has Jeanne twisted up. Gotta pick your battles yo. Besides, if Dick can apologize, and acknowledge her battling when she's in a condition that she can accept it, it might do her some good anyway. So for now:
>Acquire borgers
>Go to Dick
>Help him realize that A) his honor can't be so damn fragile that something as silly as an argument over anime can get him riled up, alcohol or no, B) his bullshit "social elite" airs can have consequences unbecoming of a gentleman, much less a goddamn Blackstone

"You know, it's not often I get to be the voice of reason calling someone out for being a weirdo... It's kinda surreal."

Maybe Jeanne needs more help right now, but you feel WAY underprepared to deal with her drunken, aggressive self. You hope Kali can help her out, wait, why is Kali helping her anyways?

Instead, you decide to go get a pair of burgers and then approach Dick who’s sulking by his lonesome near the water. Maybe you can help him realize how he screwed up and maybe they can mend things once everyone calmed down.
You offer one of the burgers to the boy and he takes it disinterestedly, he starts biting into it quite aggressively, unloading his frustration into his food.


[Percy]: Hey, how are you hanging, my fellow, ehm, Poke-Bro

[Percy]: Jiggly-BRO, BRO-rizard, BRO-barel, Pidgeo-BRO, Incine-BRO, BRO-bbuffet, Gyara-BRO, Cu-BROne

[Dick]: Get to the point Percival.

[Percy]: Wait, I got one more.

[Percy]: BRO-nzong.

[Percy]: Sorry, I’m done. You doing alright?

[Dick]: Well, the girl of my dreams just told me to “FUCK OFF”. So, business as usual.

[Percy]: Sounds pretty bad, but it’s on you this time.

[Dick]: On me? She was the one issue the challenge! And a man should never back down from a challenge!

[Percy]: Dick, she’s DRUNK, she doesn’t know what she’s doing, the girl tried to kiss me!

[Percy]:You know, you shouldn’t let something like a drunk girl bad-mouthing anime rile you up so bad, your ego can’t be that fragile.

[Dick]: Actually, I’m STILL offended by her comments. That was a personal offense to me and every connoisseur of the fine arts. A man should adhere to his values! Anime is important to me and I will keep defending it.

[Percy]: Well, but you shouldn’t be an asshole about it. Even if you are drunk.

[Dick]: I wasn’t being an “asshole”, I was simply answering in kind to her challenge.

[Percy]: You were badmouthing while she was crying and vomiting.

[Percy]: I don’t think that’s too gentlemanly of you? It’s that appropriate for a “Blackstone”?

[Dick]: Depends on who you ask… “Blackstone's” are supposed to be ruthless, better than everyone, crush the competition under our heels, and so on.

>>3625584

[Dick]:But.

[Dick]:…I may have overstepped my boundaries this time.

[Percy]:Yeah! She was a mess! Well, she was already a mess, but you made the whole thing even messier!

[Dick]:Anyways, why would I care for that girl’s wellbeing? I’ve got no reason to do so. I’ve acknowledged her as a trainer and that should suffice.

[Dick]:…Actually, that might be a lie, even I felt a little bad after seeing her in that STATE.

[Dick]: I’m still more worried about making myself look like an ass in front of Kali. This battle was a mistake.

>That’s great! Empathy! We are making some progress!

Honestly, all the conversation topics (other than he's an asshole for caring what Kali thinks) kinda interest me. If we have room to squeeze in
>Why is anime so important to you anyway?
I vote that we throw it in too, though I suspect the latter has to do with escapism and self-inserting as a likeable protag with problems OTHER than the pressures of the social elite.

[Percy]: That’s great! Empathy! We are making some progress here!

[Dick]: It’s more akin to pity. I can’t see her as an equal, that’s spot is reserved for a select few.

[Percy]:And we are back to square one!

[Percy]: You know? I always thought the way you always do your best to live up to the family name was kind of cool. Like a Houndoom battling for the rest of his pack!

[Percy]: but now that you've brought it up.

[Percy]: Maybe you should tone down the "bow before the Blackstones, disgusting commoner" attitude.

[Percy]: I don’t know much about being a gentleman, but it’s kind of rude.

[Percy]: besides- It makes you look like a dick, Dick.


[Dick]: Percival, if you weren’t one of the few people I respect as equals, I wouldn’t stand this criticism. But you’ve proven to have a good head on your shoulders, despite your oddities.

[Dick]: You see, being a Blackstone is all about being better than the rest, we are the crème of the crop. In battling, business, leadership, whatever.

[Dick]: And my family does live to the name, my brother, father, and mother are the strongest, smartest, most ruthless and cunning people I’ve ever met.

[Dick]: But no one in my family acknowledge me as such.

[Dick]: Both my father and my brother think of me as a disappointment. Even my mother thinks I’m not like them.

[Dick]: So I’ve been free of the responsibilities of being a proper “Blackstone” for most of my life, my brother is the one who carries such burden. I just reap the benefits, and I used to be fine with that. Just coasting trough life.

[Dick]: I’ve been told that thanks to my heritage I’ve got my life solved. That I’m more valuable than anyone else in the country, so I could take it easy.

[Dick]:But then, things changed, when Father got ill


[Dick]:He started putting more pressure on me to become a proper “Blackstone gentleman”.

[Dick]: That’s when he issued the challenge, to get all 8 badges before the summer ends, or I’ll be disowned by my family.

[Dick]: That’s the moment where I realized, my last name is the only thing I got.

[Dick]: You take that away from me, I’ve got nothing.

[Dick]: And If I can’t prove to my family. I am a “Blackstone”. The least I can do is make sure that everyone else sees me as one. Even if I need to rub it on their faces. Even if I’m disliked by the ones surrounding me.

[Percy]: Wow, I didn’t think you would open up like this.

[Dick]:Percival, I’m drunk, I’m regretting every word that I pronounce, but I can’t seem to stop.

[Percy]: But, what does all that have to do with anime? Why it is so important to you anyways? And don’t give me the whole “high form of art” spiel. I’ve got it memorized already.

[Dick]: Well, besides being a HIGH FORM OF ART that DESERVES RESPECT. The stories about a “NO-NAME NOBODY” who’s approached by a myriad of friends and beautiful girls without ANY ULTERIOR MOTIVES. They are incredibly appealing to me.

[Dick]: And, It’s one of the few things, if not, the only thing, I share with my brother, even if his tastes are a *tad* different from mine.


[Dick]:I didn’t mean to be uncouth to your friend, I just let her comments get the better of me. You are right, it’s not fit of a gentleman to act in that way.

[Dick]: And I may be the worst Blackstone, but still. I’m a Blackstone.

You decide to borrow a bit from Eli, and try to raise the spirits of this moody teenager.

[Percy]: Then, stop with the petty stuff and show them you REALLY got what it takes!

[Percy]: You can earn those badges yourself. Your family will see that you really are a Blackstone. And I’ll be there to lend you a hand if you need one.

[Percy]: Even if everything goes horribly wrong, I'll still do everything I can to help you.

[Dick]:Because It’s convenient to be on a Blackstone’s good side?

[Percy]: No, because we're friends.

[Dick]: Mmh, “friends”, that sounds more than appropriate.

[Dick]: And why would you imply that things will go horribly wrong?

[Percy]: I don’t know, lately I feel like almost everything I do has the potential to become a life-threatening situation.

[Percy]: Not this one though! I’m sure you can do it!

Somehow, your words managed to get through Dick, maybe you are REALLY getting better at this “People” thing.

Motivated by your advice and feeling a load off his chest after opening up, Dick raised from the ground, standing firm and proud, (heh). You sealed the deal with the manliest of handshakes.

You hear someone steps getting closer and closer to you, you figured it was one of your friends approaching you, but you were mistaken. Standing before you, a young man, taller and older, one of his eyes looks a bit swollen up. He sports a face of contempt towards you and Dick. On his shoulder, there is a Pikachu wearing swimming trunks.


[Maximillian]: Oh, how cute. You got yourself a little boyfriend.

[Maximillian]: Let me say, that was some nice self-depreciation you got there little bro!

[Maximillian]: But you are sorely mistaken.

[Maximillian]: Don’t let this spaz fool you.

[Maximillian]: You are way worse than that.

[Maximillian]: Worthless piece of shit.

Dick’s newfound motivation crumbles away at the sight of his brother, the mere presence of the Pro-trainer makes Dick shrink away. If it were any other person you are sure that would have been enough to get your friend hostile and defending, but he doesn’t seem to know how to deal with him, Words try to escape from his mouth, but nothing comes out. He just froze right there.

[Percy]: What are you doing here?

[Maximillian]: I figured this “should’ve been abortion” would be staying on his villa so I decided to pay him a visit, maybe ruin his day a little bit.

[Maximillian]: But he already did it himself! That battle back there? Wow!

[Maximillian]: The way you fucked up against a COMPLETE AMATEUR and only won because the poor girl couldn’t hold her guts on their place? Superb. Definitely one of your finest moments.

[Maximillian]: And Dick, if you ever feel down again, and get that need to just, end everything.

[Maximillian]: Let’s be proactive for a change! *Escape Ropes* are dirt cheap, just look up how to tie a noose and you are good to go! But don’t break your head trying to write a suicide note, nobody would care enough to read it.

[Maximillian]: Welp, I see you are about to cry bitch tears, so my job here is done. See ya.

You notice Eli telling Aleida to distract Maximillian so she can knock his ass with a surprise dropkick. You gesture her to settle down, you are waiting to see if Dick can do this on his own if not, you are more than ready to step up and give this bastard a piece of your mind.

Roll for Dick!

Dick just keeps standing there, his gaze fixed to the ground, fists shaking in frustrating at his own impotence. After a while he manages to respond, his words are barely audible, and his voice is cracking.

[Dick]: Just… go, leave me alone.

[Maximillian]: Figures, you are still a coward. What a disappointment.

Seeing as Dick is still. PARALYZED you decide to try and stand up to this asshole. You briefly consider kicking him in the nuts but his Pikachu notices your hostile intention and gets ready to zap you the moment you try anything on his trainer.

[Percy]: Hey, what's up with those puffy eyes? Did you have a big cry and then decided to fix your fragile ego by seeing if you can get your younger brother to kill himself? This is what counts as carrying the Blackstone name? Really?

[Maximillian]: First, I thought you were aware of it, but it was that pink-haired dyke over there did this to my face. I let my guard down for a second and I get punched by some brat.

[Maximillian]: That’s almost as embarrassing as being blood-related to this asshole. But I’ll deal with her later. She’s going to regret it.

[Maximillian]: Second, while my ego is quite solid, it’s always enjoyable to taunt my “little bro”.

[Maximillian]: And finally. Yes, this is exactly what being a Blackstone is all about.

[Maximillian]: “Our distinguished lineage who proudly stands tall above the rest of Aztlan” What a load of bullshit.

[Maximillian]: It’s just some corrupt enterprise in a no-name region. Nobody outside of Aztlan gives a fuck.

[Maximillian]: This little shit is the only one who thinks that there’s anything “honorable” in our last name, brainwashed by mommy and daddy so he’ll try to be a good little boy.

[Maximillian]: Clinging desperately to it, since it’s his only redeeming quality.

[Maximillian]: Pathetic.

You look at him, disgusted and confused. How can a person like him even exist? Are people like him commonplace? Even Kali isn’t that bad.

You notice Gareth and his team of bugs approach the three of you, probably to check if you and Dick are doing alright. At the sight of the college dropout, Maximillian starts to panic.


[Maximillian]: … Is that Gareth?

[Maximillian]: Oh crap, that’s Gareth! Nico! How do I look? It’s my hair alright? How about my eye? It’s still too unsightly? What is he doing here?

[Percy]: He is traveling with me. Why is that important?

The Pikachu tells his trainer that he looks like shit trough gestures. Maximillian seems to get the idea and decides to flee from the scene. Out of one of his Pokéball, he lets out a Claydoll who instantly teleports itself, Maximillian and Pikachu out of your sight. He seemed uncharacteristically nervous about this whole ordeal.
>>
>>3632539
Not only is this nigga a faggot, he might actually be gay. Huh.
>>
New goal on our list of shit to do. Get our team good enough to beat the absolute shit out of Maximilian. All in favor?
>>
>>3632539

Gareth finally arrives to see if you two are okay, Dick drily tells him to not worry about it. “It was just some random trainer”.

As the two of you go reunite with the others, you try to tell Dick to ignore the words of his brother, no self-respecting person would resort to that just to feel adequate. And while he appreciates your concern, Dick tells you to drop the subject and to not mention it in front of the others, especially Kali, nor Aleida.

It takes Dick a while to calm down, but he manages to recompose himself rather quickly. He must be used to this kind of situations regarding his brother.


----
After a while, it seems like things have returned to normal-ish.

The Pokémon have finished their little game of war that they had going on, your team and Eli's setting on a truce after dealing with Prince's and Alexandro's factions.

In your absence, it seems like Eli and Aleida hit it off. Aleida is impressed by the way Eli's mons seem to have so much trust for their trainer. She asks Eli how she met her team and other questions about them. The punkish trainer doesn't spare many details, she seems quite proud of her clique. They are also competing in arm wrestling for some reason.

Gareth is still working the grill, fixing some food for all the hungry mons, Professor Maple is nowhere in sight, Gareth carried her drunk ass back inside the villa so she could get some rest and not cause more trouble.

DIck seems way more chill now, you asked him why he brought a watermelon, a stick, a bedsheet and blindfold to the beach and he started going about something called "Suikawari"? you don't know how to pronounce that. You've also been discussing who looks better on a swimsuit, Kali or Eli. Professor Maple is also a strong contender but you don't want to think about it.

Also, Jeanne and Kali haven't come back yet.

You should...

Maximillion is a fucking faggot, both metaphorically and literally. We need to train, for everyone's sake.

You decide to see how your team is doing. Houndour is still comfortably buried under the sand, relaxing. Loudred is eagerly waiting for the food to be done, her mouth-watering and her eyes glimmering. Vulpix is playing alongside Avenger and Jaws, they seem to like her spirit, she took off her magician costume and stashed it away in your backpack, it surprising how much she cares for the thing. You also remind herself to give her a bath once you are back in the villa.


Prince seems to have taken a liking to Gareth’s team of bugs, even if they lost the battle, they seem to have formed a bond of some kind. He looks quite comfortable around them, at least more comfortable than with most mons, he’s still a bit shy but it’s nice to see him adapting.

[Kadabra]: He’s probably taking you as an example. Seeing you go out of your way to form bonds with other humans may have a positive effect on him.

[Kadabra]: I’m glad to see you two doing so well in that regard, alas, now I’ll go get myself a burger.


And according to the last messages your sister sent to you, Mimikyu is having a nice recovery but he’s still out of commission. Maybe tomorrow or in a couple of days you’ll have him back with you. Speaking of messages, you forward one to Kali to see if Jeanne is doing alright. She takes a bit to write back.

[Kali]: (ONLINE) Relaaaaaaax

[Kali]: She’s doin fine. She only puked twice. LOL (´ж`ς)

[Kali]: The one who’s not doin fine is meee. LMAO (ಥಥ)

[Kali]: She won’t shut uuuup. щ(゚Д゚щ)

[Kali]:She keeps blabbing on and on about all kinds of bullshit about you, and your clone, and her NOT dad, and ghosts. (Ծ Ծ)

[Kali]:LAME ◔_◔

[Kali]: Can you like, come here and give me a hand with her? Maybe take over me for a while? Cuz it’s hard to keep “the nice girl” act up. 눈_눈

[Kali]: Harder than usual, stupid alcohol. ʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔ

[Kali]:Maybe I’ll find another way to keep her mouth occupied.

[Kali]: If you catch my drift? ԅ(≖≖ԅ)

[Percy]: Alright, sounds like you two are doing great, I’ll check on you two later.

[Kali]: Hey don’t you dare fuckin ignore me Williams. ( ಠ益ಠ)

Kali kept sending messages to you for the following hour, so, you decided to leave your phone inside your backpack and ignore her.

You approach the college dropout working the grill with surprising ease, he tells you that he has a lot of experience working behind the grill so he wants to use this opportunity to show off.

Behind him, there's a line of hungry Pokémon eagerly awaiting their food.

[Gareth]: Hey! Little man! How are you doing?

[Gareth]: Listen, I wanted to apologize for that whole SITUATION with your friends and the professor.

[Gareth]: I thought that if she had a couple of beers it would help her calm down her nerves. She was a complete WRECK after you entered her room in the middle of the night screaming.

[Gareth]: But things spiraled out of control, and she was very persistent when she said that there was no alcohol on those drinks…

[Gareth]: Sorry, all of those are excuses. It’s my bad. I’m not that really good at being the “responsible” one.

You tell Gareth to not worry about it and ask him if he would like some help with preparing those burgers. He gladly accepts your help despite Kadabra’s warning of your less than stellar cooking skills. “C’ mon, how bad they could be?”

Gareth keeps flipping patties with surprising dexterity, he’s not as skilled as Mimikyu but you can’t deny his talent working behind the grill. You decide to question him about Max, hoping you may learn anything useful.

[Gareth]: Oh, Max? Yeah, we go way back. He’s one of the first friends I made when I moved to Northpass.

Hearing someone calling that asshole in such a friendly manner is a bit disconcerting.

[Percy]: Friend? How can a guy like that have friends?

[Gareth]: I know he’s got a “troublesome” personality, but when you get to know him, he’s pretty chill.

[Gareth]: Actually, scratch that, he only switches back and forth between being really aggressive and completely indifferent. But he seemed to “not dislike” me, and he had no other close friends besides his groupies, so we hung out pretty often.

[Percy]: Alright, I need more info, tell me more.

[Gareth]: Well, he never talked about his family. I think he doesn’t get along with them. So, I figured to avoid that subject with him.

[Gareth]: The only time I met his parents was when he took me out on a fake “date” to “disappoint them”. His dad was fuming! Max could be quite the jokester from time to time.

[Percy]: Does he have any weaknesses I could exploit?

[Gareth]: Eh, weaknesses? I mean, he’s just a regular guy but his mons, wow! If you ever tried to punch him or hurt him in any way, it was almost certain that one of them would get out of their Pokéballs and just beat the ever-loving crap out of you! I’ve seen many people learning that the hard way.

[Gareth]: He also liked to start fights, but he always went for an OVERKILL.

You are starting to think that Maximillian weakness is the guy preparing your burgers.

[Gareth]: Yeah, we kind of slowly stopped talking to each other. He’s started to focus more on his Pro-trainer and coordinator career, and I was spending more time with my ex.

[Gareth]: We still kept in contact, however! I send him dumb memes from time to time and he calls me an idiot. Just like old times.

>>3637206
You kept pestering Gareth and learned that they met sometime before the Trainer’s license exam. Maximillian has been groomed into the art of Pokémon training from a young age, his first mon was a Scytcher (now currently Scizor) who was stupidly aggressive and unruly, not the kind of mon you’ll give to a 10-year-old.

He has trained a large number of mons, to cover up any weakness his “Main Team” might have.

Maximilian interest in Pokémon contests was his way of rebelling since his parents wanted him to only focus on battling. He’s actually more approachable in the Pokémon contest scene than in the battle scene.

While Gareth relays this info on you, your cooking has been…

>85: Actually, pretty decent, working a grill is easier than you thought.
>70: It’s edible, not really that good, but it’s an improvement!
> <70: You still suck.
> (+10) thanks to Gareth’s help. He’s a pretty good teacher.
Roll me some d100, best of three!

Also
…….

Once the grilling’s done, and the mons are well fed you wonder what to do with the remainder of today. Dick convinced Aleida and Eli to join him in that dumb watermelon splitting game, surprisingly enough, it only ended with some minor injuries on Dick’s part. They saved a chunk of fruit for you, but it was quickly devoured by Jeanne’s Mismagius.

The day is nearing its end, as the sun starts to set, Aleida has the idea to start a campfire and enjoy the night outside. Dick even brought some fireworks! You wanted to take a chance to spend these last hours…

>Talking to Gareth, you wanted to get some advice regarding your situation with Eli, also to brag about your first kiss.
>Let’s go with Eli, share a last moment together before the day ends.
>Let’s go get Kali and Jeanne, so they don’t miss the campfire and fireworks.
>With Dick and Aleida, she’s been telling Dick some ancient legends from the deep south of Aztlan, maybe she could share it with everyone at the campfire.
>With your mons, they are all tired from playing all day long, Except for Houndour who’s been resting under the sand.
>Ask who’s up for a Pokémon battle.
