You're silent as you think for a minute.

"Do I get anything extra if I guess correctly?" You ask, more to clarify than anything.

Martha rolls her eyes as her friends giggle.

"Hm? Oh, hey!"

Before any of them can reply, Fie walks up, still in her sleepware but apparently seeing these four was enough to wake her up.

"Fie! What are you doing here?" Judy asks as all four of them perk up at her appearance.

"Travelling with Alex here for the time being." Fie replied. "What are you guys up to? I thought you'd decided you didn't accept challenges from anyone without a solid badge collection."

"Just offered him a bit of help and it turned into a bit of a guessing game." Martha replies.

"To answer your question though, how about a second choice?" Kathryn suggests.

Fie grins wickedly.

"That's an idea." She agrees. "How about seven minutes in heaven though?" She asks.

She's rewarded with all four staring and blushing hotly.

"Fie!" Jean says, clearly mortified as Fie cackles, leaning on you for support.

"What?" She asks innocently, still grinning like a Sharpedo.

"W-we can't just-" Martha says, shaking her head.

Fie holds up her hands placatingly.

"Guys, he's cool. He's had more than his fair share of opportunities to perv on me and he's been nothing but a gentleman." She assures.

"Won't the nurse say something though?" Martha asks.

"I didn't bring my bag down, so we'll have to go up to our room anyway..." Jean replies.

"Nevermind that now, he's got to guess what the rest of us want to do first." Judy notes.

"Um, you mind filling me in on what you guys are up to, Fie?" You ask awkwardly.

"Just fucking with them." Fie assures. "We used to travel together before I became a Gym Leader." She explains.

You nod, then clear your throat.

"Er, a second reward is feriously, sine." You say, before facepalming as the four giggle at your gaff.

"Hey, if you're refusing for my sake, don't worry. A little harmless fun never hurt anyone." She adds with a smirk at your expense as it's your turn to blush furiously.

"A-anyway, Kathryn, you want to be a pokemon breeder. Judy, you want to be a Contest Star and Martha, you want to be a Pokeathlete." You say before this gets any more ridiculous.

"Got it in one." Kathryn says, clapping her hands together.

"So, whose help do you want second?" Martha asked.

"First thing's first... what are you actually offering?" You ask.

"I suppose there's no harm telling you." Jean conceded. "I'm going to give you a fossil." She says.

"If you pick me, I'll give you an egg." Kathryn says.

"I'll give you a TM if you pick me." Judy adds.

"And I'll help you train one of your pokemon however you want." Martha finishes.

"Oh." You say faintly. "Okay." They weren't kidding, those do sound really useful.

nice, fossil always a great plot thread for pokemon quests.
I actually think Alex has physical training down pretty well for now, and isn't at the point where his pokemon need more specialized training yet, so even though I voted for Martha last thread, I'll go for the egg
>>Kathryn
because I think that learning to care for eggs and young pokemon is an important skill for trainers and it'll be kind of fun to raise a pokemon from scratch

"Kathryn." You say after a moment's thought.

Getting some instruction from Martha on how to train your team better is tempting and a free TM would be super-useful potentially, but the possibilities an egg offer are just too good to pass up.

"Alright, let's go." Jean says as she stands up and Kathryn grins and heads for the PC.

In their place, Fie sits down, evidently to catch up with her old travelling companions.

You follow Jean upstairs to another room and follow her in. It's identical to yours in practically every way, barring the fact there're four bags against the wall.

She grabs one and pulls out a large case from the bottom before unlocking it to reveal a collection of fossils laid out in a deep foam tray.

She looks at them critically as you admire them with no small amount of awe, before picking out a small piece of amber that fits neatly in the palm of your hand.

"Here you are." She says, transferring it into a sealed, padded container and handing it over to you.

"Thanks." You say as she packs up her collection and carefully puts it away again.

"You're quite welcome." She says, blowing you a kiss as there's a knock at the door, which, Jean opens to reveal Kathryn with the promised egg.

(Part 1)

>>4993066
(Part 2)

"Here you are." She says, passing you the portable incubator the egg is nestled in. "Now, I should probably explain a few things about raising pokemon you hatch." She adds, sitting down beside you and laying out how and what to feed them, what to be mindful of and when the ideal time is to start training them.

It's all pretty self explanatory and if you needed, you could probably find all of this in the pokedex anyway but with how bright eyed and enthusiastic Kathryn is, you can't help but listen. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

"You got all that?" Kathryn asks when she finishes.

You nod.

"Yeah, that's all pretty self explanatory." You reply.

"Back to the fossil for a moment..." Jean says from where she's been patiently waiting by the door. "If you want to get a pokemon cloned from that fossil, you'll have to go to the old museum in Silveridge Town or the research labs in Redmont Town or Blackstump Town." She informs you.

"Is that expensive?" You ask. You seem to recall there being some word about the process being complicated, time-consuming and requiring some pretty advanced facilities and tech.

"Oh, extremely." Jean confirms. "But the League subsidises the labs, so it's effectively free for trainers." She explains.

"Well, thanks again." You say with a smile.

"Did you want to do seven minutes in heaven?" Kathryn asks curiously into the ensuing silence, making your blood freeze in your veins and eliciting an exasperated sigh and facepalm from Jean.

"Kath... why?" The blonde asks as you blush red.

"Well, he's clearly not put off by us." She replies reasonably.

You get the feeling you're witnessing a private argument.

"What's Seven Minutes in Heaven?" You ask, innocently.

You know perfectly well what it is. You've never played, but you've been to parties. And on unsupervised camping trips.

This is fun. You admit to yourself as Jean flushes and tries to stammer out an explanation.

Kathryn beats her to it though.

"It's simple. Two people go off on their own for seven minutes." Kathryn sums up.

She said it without so much as blinking.

"Normally, two people chosen by everyone else in the group. And normally a boy and a girl." Jean adds sounding annoyed.


>Sounds like fun. (Keep it up.)
>No thanks.
>Other.

>>4993150
>Sounds like fun. (Keep it up.)

>>4993150
>>Sounds like fun. (Keep it up.)
>Well, I guess the group should have to pick someone so, as I'm the only boy and you all really seem interested in that.

>>4993150
>Other
Uh... Maybe that's not the best idea.
I mean if someone walks in like the local nurse Joy it would be humiliating.

>>4993156
>>4993160

"Sounds like fun." You agree, trying not to laugh at how enthused Kathryn looks and how flustered Jean is.

This isn't really something you've had any strong opinions on previously, but you've got to admit, at least to yourself that you're a little curious, even if 'the big deal' is just a bit of rough-housing like with Fie the night before last.

And it seems like Jean isn't quite as against the idea as her attitude suggests. None of them have rejected it out of hand.

"It's by popular vote." Kathryn continues, tapping away on her pokedex. "So, in this case, it'd be Fie, Jean, Martha, Judy and I." She adds as Jean's pokedex pings a message.

"Fie's not with us anymore." Jean notes.

Kathryn wave a hand.

"She's here now and they're an item, so she ought to have a say." Kathryn replies off-handedly. "And... there. Voting has started." She said with satisfaction.

"Wait, do I get a say in this? What if the nurse comes up?" You ask with at least a little trepidation.

You're pretty sure this is the sort of thing your mum would absolutely crucify you for.

"Well you sounded interested." Kathryn notes. "Or were you just having Jean on?" She asks.

>You were having Jean on. (Enough, let it die.)
>I'm interested, just don't want to get into strife. (Commit.)

>>4993209
>interested, just don't want to get into strife. (Commit.)

I'd be pretty gay if I rejected...

>>4993209
>>I'm interested, just don't want to get into strife. (Commit.)

>>4993229
>>4993254

"I'm interested." You admit. "I just don't want anyone getting into strife.

"We won't." Kathryn says. "It's the breakfast rush, no one is going to be able to keep track of anything." She adds.

"Now, let's see how we go..." She says, studying her pokedex.

Yours pings and when you check it, it has a message from Fie:

Have fun. ;) It reads. Evidently, she's voting, but she's not in the pool. Which makes a certain sort of sense, you suppose.

You swallow, suddenly at least a little nervous.

You really hope it just turns out to be a bit of harmless rough-housing like with Fie. Kathryn's frankly kind of scary with her enthusiasm.

I'll write up and post later, got stuff to do.

>>4994323

There's a few moments of silence punctuated by pings before Jean blushes and Kathryn gives her a thumbs up.

"So, I'll be back in seven minutes." She says, picking a towel out of her bag, before giving the two of you a wink. "Or so. 'Bye~" With that, she's gone leaving the two of you alone.

Judging by how Jean is blushing, she has concerns. She takes a deep breath, apparently steeling herself.

"So, um..." Her composure cracks and she deflates. "How are you so calm about this?" She asks, clearly exasperated.

>We just met.
>We're both reasonable people and neither of us are idiots.
>I didn't know I needed to worry.

>>4994779
>>4994797

"Because we're both reasonable and not idiots." You reply.

She relaxes fractionally.

You smile as a thought occurs to you.

"Now, what would be fun, is if we made them believe we're idiots and leave them guessing." You propose.

She tilts her head, thinking about it.

"You got something in mind?" She asks, looking thoughtful herself.

"Mostly, wait for Kathryn to come back and get caught in a 'compromising' position." You admit.

Jean nods.

"Yeah, that would work." She agrees. "She's not got the most overactive imagination in our little group, but she's been trying to hook me up." She agrees, sitting down beside you, then gives you a poke. "But ah... what would you say would be a 'compromising' position?" She asks with a grin, apparently taking her chance to flip the tables and be the one teasing.

>Erm...
>Together on the bed...?
>Jump apart and act flustered?
>Oh, I've got an idea... (Write in)
>Think you could make archaeology sound like innuendo?

>>4994824
>Ah... It sounds like you've got an idea...

>>4994933
>>4994943
>>4994944

"Ah... It sounds like you've got an idea..." You stammer as that question puts all sorts of ideas into your head.

"Before I say anything, I want to know why Fie decided to vouch for you like that." Jean says, getting serious for a moment. "What've you been up to that you've had plenty of opportunities to perve on her?"

"Well, when we met, a bunch of skwovet had stolen her clothes when she was skinny dipping." You say. "I went and got them for her."

"And you didn't try sneaking a peak while she was getting dressed?" Jean probes.

"No, of course not." You reply. "That would've been rude. She asked me to rub her back the evening after, since her scars were playing up. And the night before last, we shared a tent because hers was acting as the scaffolding for our shelter."

Jean's giving you a critical look.

"...Okay. That is a lot of opportunities." She concedes, before leaning in to whisper in your ear. "How about, we hold onto each others' waistbands and pretend to make out?" She suggests.

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea and it'll certainly put the idea into Kathryn's head that the two of you were in the middle of something when she walks in.

You get the sense though that Jean's testing you. Verifying what Fie said. Vetting you, might be a good wayto think of it.

>Okay, that's definitely an idea. Let's do it.
>What if one of us knelt in front of the other?
>Or, how about... (write in)
>Or, I could give you a massage.
>Other

>>4994959
>Okay, that's definitely an idea. Let's do it.

>>4994959
>Okay, that's definitely an idea. Let's do it.

>>4994959
>Allright

We can spend the time practicing circulating our aura while get a good look at her up close. (possible unlocking charisma uses of aura)

>>4994959

"Okay, that's definitely an idea." You agree.

Jean breathes out heavily and gives you a brave smile as you take off your boots.

When you're done she pushes you onto your back and undoes your belt and fly as she leans over you, before guiding your hands to her waistband and positioning them so it looks like you're midway through taking her pants off.

"There." She says, adjusting herself so she's more comfortable, meaning you've got her comfortable weight pressing you into the bed. "This is probably about as 'compromising' as we can get without... you know."

You nod, resisting the urge to move your hands.

"Any idea when Kathryn will be back?" You ask.

Jean shakes her head.

"I'll hear her coming, but we won't know for sure until she's opening the door." She replies. "You um... you don't mind if I kiss you when that happens, do you?" She asks. "Just to really sell it."

"No, that's fine." You assure.

She nods and relaxes slightly.

Despite the fact you're both handling this like reasonable people, you're still seventeen and high on hormones, which means certain consequences are inevitable.

You both just politely ignore your reaction as you just breathe steadily and wait fr the minutes to tick by.

You actually fall back on meditation, which helps you relax a lot faster and puts you at ease.

It also seems to be putting Jean at ease as well.

After a minute, you're both relaxed and all the awkward tension hs bled out of you both.

You can feel Jean's heart, beating in time with yours as she breathes in time with you. Apparently, she decided to follow your lead.

You can actually feel the moment the last of the wariness bleeds out of her and she relaxes completely.

It's also betrayed by the fact she props herself up on one elbow and gives you a genuine smile as a contentment you associate with dust and rocks steals over you.

"Are you channeling aura?" She asks, mindlessly stroking your forehead.

"Yes." Your reply. "Since we're going to be here for a bit, I figured I'd practice." You admit.

Jean frowns.

"That... ...might not be such a good idea." She says.

You feel a thrill. Cold uncertainty and her caution returning.

"I've read a bit about it. If you're in close contact with someone while you're doing it, you can... influence them." She explains. "I guess you are alright." She concedes. "But, um... just in case, could you not?" She asks.

"Sorry. Didn't know." You assure as you stop. "Kind of new to this." You admit.

You blink and the moment's gone.

Jean shakes her head.

"You made it down into one of the cave shrines then." She guesses, giving you a critical look. "That's kind of impressive. Pokemon tend to get a lot stronger than Rookies can handle the further down into a cave you get." She notes.

"I went down with someone who knows a bit more about Aura than I do." You explain.

"No way, you met an Aura Guardian?" Jean asks, clearly startled.

"A novice anyway. His name is Gareth. And he's the third member of our group." You explain.

"You'll have to introduce me." She says. "I've always wanted to know more about Aura, but most books on the subject are crap written by posers from the cities spouting whatever they find on the internet." She adds.

"I will when he wakes up." You assure. "He's kind of a heavy sleeper."

"Well, he can be forgiven that this morning." Jean observes drily as the splatter of rain on the tin roof reaches you as the weather renews its intensity again.

You lapse into a comfortable silence as Jean relaxes, before after a while, you hear footsteps outside. Jean responds by swooping down and pressing her lips to yours in a mock kiss and you inch her pants down a little as the door opens.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see it's Kathryn, who's staring in genuine, open-mouthed shock.

You look up into Jean's eyes as she fiddles with your waistband.

>Act surprised and flustered.

You release her and she sits up with a very convincing yelp, fumbling with her pants as you try and fix your pants as Kathryn looks on from the doorway, hair damp from her shower.

She's staring at the both of you with eyes as round as coins.

"Jean... I- I didn't... sorry, I thought..." She stammers, blushing bright red, which is the catalyst for Jean to start laughing as Kathryn closes the door.

"The look on your face...!" Jean manages in between laughing.

"Wait... you mean... you were just staging that?" She asks incredulously.

"Mmhm." Jean nods. "Might as well have some fun, right?" She asks rhetorically.

Kathryn pouts, before stalking off to the corner, pulling a curtain out from the wall while she presumably changes.

Jean gives you a grin.

"That was fun." She admits, before retrieving a towel from her bag. "Might as well go down together." She notes, before, in what you can only assume is a moment of daring, she swoops down and gives you a peck on the cheek before you head out. "Thanks." She says afterward.

"A-any time." You stammer as you blush before you part ways at the bottom of the stairs and head back to where Fie and the others are sitting.

"So, how was it?" Fie asks with an absolutely shit-eating grin as you sit down.

Martha and Judy lean in attentively.

"We gave Kathryn a minor heart attack by pretending we were making out." You reply.

"Huh." Martha gives you an odd look. "Shows what I know. I figured you'd both sit there blushing." She admits.

"That's kind of mean." Judy observes. "Kathryn's been trying to hook Jean up for ages."

"And Jean would rather she not." Martha notes.

"I think that one might be more suited to camping. Away from other people." You add.

"If we ever cross paths on the road, we'll have to play again then." Judy says enthusiastically as Martha facepalms with a groan.

"Now look what you've done." She grumbles.

You check your watch.

It's only just gone mid morning and it's still raining like the end of the world outside. And Gareth still seems to be asleep.

Fighting in the cave while Gareth was meditating was a spectacularly bad idea.

>>4996155
>>4996185
>>4996153

"So how'd you all meet up?" You ask curiously.

"Just by happenstance." Martha replied. "We all started out on our own seperate journies when we were around about twelve and just met on the road." She explains. "It was pretty uneventful. We didn't take any unnecessary risks and didn't go off the beaten paths."

"That changed when Fie decided to take over the Gym Leader position at Saltcoast City though." Judy said. "It got us all thinking what we wanted to do after we were done taking the league challenge. We've been planning and preparing for this trip for two years now." She adds.

Kathryn squeezes into the seat next to you, sandwiching you between herself and Fie.

"That was a dirty trick." She says, poking you in the ribs.

"Jean seemed like she enjoyed it." You reply, earning another poke, before she shifts attention to the conversation. "You wondering about our journey this year?" She asks.

"Yeah." You confirm.

"Basic idea is, we want to check out all the places we've missed out on exploring before now." Kathryn explains. "The lakes, the islands, the caves, the mountains. They're all supposed to be super-rough to travel and explore. So, we want to see 'em all."

"More than that though." Jean says as she rejoins you, clothed this time, while a half-asleep looking Gareth heads for the buffet. "We want to see if all the rumours of legendary pokemon making their homes in those places have any merit."

(Part 1)

>>4996214
(Part 2)

"Legendary pokemon?" You ask, startled. "I thought that was all hearsay." You admit.

Jean shakes her head.

"No, there've been sightings. They're mostly dubious, but there's enough details common to them that it's worth checking out." She adds.

"Huh."

"And there's definitely a Rayquaza that lives at the peak of Mount Reflection." Martha adds.

"You're probably going to be seeing a bit of Alex and Gareth then." Fie notes. "Or at least, Gareth." She adds, nodding to where the novice aura Guardian is headed for your table.

Jean shifts to make room for him. Presumaby so she can interrogate him at her leisure about Aura once he's properly awake.

Once greetings and introductions are made, everyone returns to their own seprate discussions.

>Challenge the boys on the other table
>Apologise to Kathryn. That was a little mean if she's been trying to help Jean out.

>>4996225
>>4996259
>>4996308

"Sorry about earlier." You say to Kathryn.

She turns to give you a quizzical look.

"Oh, it's alright." She assures. "No harm done. At least you both made a friend." She adds.

"Mm." You nod, before excusing yourself and heading over to where the group of youngster's are now just talking.

One of them gives you a completely disinterested look.

"If you want a battle, you can sod off." He says with all the confidence of a biker and the voice of a twelve year old. "We're not going outside and getting wet. Besides, you hang out with girls." He sneers, earning uproarious laughter from his friends.

>Ignore them and leave.
>Call the little shit out for being a coward.
>Other.

>>4996855
>Punch the Biker in the face and make a scene.

>>4996883

He's an unmannered twelve year old playing up for his friends.

Just so we're completely clear on that.

>>4996855
>Ignore them and leave.
As much as I'd like to banter with a kid, the older party never looks good doing it.

Besides, it's okay for him to be afraid of getting beat by someone who hangs out with girls.

>>4996855
>Ignore them and leave
One day this kid will get hit so hard he won't care about cooties

>>4996887
>>4996900

You shrug and leave without a word, heading up to the counter instead to get Volta and Kay o-o looked at. They've had a big morning.

Besides, at that kid's age, you probably would've been scared of getting beat by someone who hung out with girls, though you do have to admit, if only to yourself, you're a little worried about that kid. With his attitude, he's probably going to get hit so hard at some point, that cooties will be the least of his worries.

>Restructure your team.

>>4997156

>>4997158
>>4997164
>>4997224

With little else to do, you head back outside and start doing some light exercises under the shelter of the porch. It's cold and cramped but considering that you've got half a day of walking to do this afternoon, warming up is probably a good idea.

After about five minutes, the door opens and you're joined by Martha who starts on her own warm-up routine without a word. Much more vigorous than your own, but that's mostly got to do with your arm.

"So," She begins in between push ups. "Seems like this isn't going to be the last we see of one another." She says conversationally.

"Oh?" You ask as you follow her example and start on doing sit-ups.

"About four days' time, we plan to be at Lake Clarity." Martha explains. "Fie reckons you'll be there around the same time." She adds without breaking her rhythm. "So, what d'you say we all go for a hike and see if we can't see the island that's supposed to be out in the middle?"

>That sounds like a plan.
>Sorry, but I kind of wanted to get to Silveridge as quick as I could.
>Other

If anyone has a good Trainer Creator they'd recommend, that'd be a big help. It'd save a lot of time having to hunt down specific sprites and pictures for trainer classes to represent different characters.

>>4997275
>>That sounds like a plan.

>>4997275
>That sounds like a plan.

>>4997288
>>4997333

"That sounds like a plan." You agree.

"It'd be a good chance to get some training in and build your team as well." Martha adds.

"Mm." You nod as you reach your tenth sit up and keep going.

In the tree across the way, you notice a fuzzy white something which, on closer inspection turns out to be a Rufflet taking shelter from the rain.

"So, what's between you and Fie?" Martha asks.

"Huh?" You ask, startled.

"You an' Fie." Martha repeats. "She's not usually this chummy with random trainers."

>We just decided to travel together.
>I helped her out of a bind and she figured she owed me and we've been going back and forth on that.

>I helped her out of a bind and she figured she owed me and we've been going back and forth on that.

>>4997350
>>4997424

"I've got no idea..." You admit after a moment's thought as you close in on and pass twenty sit-ups. "I helped her out of a bind and she figured she owed me." You explain. "We've been going back and forth on that."

You pause and focus on getting to thrty sit-ups. You're starting to feel the burn, but you're getting into the zone now.

"I've only known her for a few days and she's on track to becoming my best friend though." You confess. "Which is kind of scary, since I've never really felt that close with anyone before."

You hit fifty and haul yourself up to give your abs a rest.

"I guess that tracks." Martha admits as she joins you in recovering from her workout. "She's got her quirks, but she's shown you an awful lot of trust, in her way, after knowing you for just a few days." She explains. "You hurt her and I'll hurt you fifty times worse, understand?" She says in far too normal a tone of voice.

>Understood.
>I'd never.
>What do you take me for?
>We're just friends.
>Other

>>4997444
>>Understood.
>Our team is working up too righ?

>>4997444

Raise an eyebrow at her and smile while saying this.
"If we do get into a fight give me a bit of advice to resolve it tho. Right I'll give you my contact number, you are free to share it with the others and call if you need.

>>4997444
>Understood.
Pretty sure Fie herself could hurt us fifty times worse if she wanted to, but that's beside the point.

>>4997465
>>4997471
>>4997472

"Understood." You reply, somewhat taken aback by Martha's vehemence.

"Good." She says pleasantly, giving you a pat on the shoulder. "Glad we had this chat."

With that, she heads back inside, leaving you alone as the rain continues to fall. It looks like it's starting to let up a bit though. Another hour or so and it should stop.

You decide to bring out your team and enjoy some quiet time with them.

Volta and Kay O-o might be being looked at by the nurse, but you've got Fluffy, Syurm, Rusty and Blitz with you and they seem to be happy enough for the company.

In the meantime, you study your pokedex and see who can learn what moves.

After about half an hour, the rain begins to wane and after an hour, it stops and begins to clear.

You recall everyone and head back inside to pack your things and retrieve Volta and Kay O-o from the nurse before you reconvene with Gareth and Fie and her friends.

You say your goodbyes and promise to meet up at Lake Clarity before the girls set off northward, citing the need to find a good place to stay the night.

You tell them about your camping site from the night before last without mentioning Syurm's handiwork, before they thank you and go as everyone in the centre heads off on their own seperate journies again.

After about half an hour, you let Fluffy out to walk with you. He seems like he's enjoying the wet and cold somewhat, running ahead and around you, the very picture of energetic.

You grin, before falling in next to Gareth.

"What's up?" He asks.

"Did you talk with Jean?"

He nods.

"Yeah she wanted to know about the Aura Guardians." Gareth replied. "And well... whatever I could tell her." He added, smiling. "I've never known anyone that enthusiastic about learning." He adds.

"She struck me as the intellectual type." You agree, before you tell him what happened.

"I hope we play that game when we all meet up at the lake." He admits. "It sounds fun, but seven minutes isn't all that long." He adds.

You get the impression he's got no idea what Seven Minutes in Heaven has a reputation for. It's hard not to laugh.

Fie has no such compunction and is giggling to herself.

"I tried meditating again." You say, wondering exactly how he's going to react. "Jean mentioned that your Aura can influence people in close proximity?" You ask curiously.

"Ah." He nods. "Yeah, that's something that happens with everyone. Even someone with no experience or real talent can do that to a degree, but the effect is a lot more pronounced when someone can actually use Aura properly." He replies. "It can come in handy, but generally, you don't do that unless you're with someone you trust a lot." He adds. "It's considered... intimate."

"Have you done that before?" Fie asks curiously. "Influenced or 'mixed' Aura with anyone?"

Gareth coughs.

"Uh, yeah. With another apprentice before we set out." He adds.

"What's that like?" Fie asks.

"Can we talk about something else? I'd rather not say." He replies.

"Alright, alright." Fie says.

The topic shifts to something else after that as you continue down the road.

(Part 2)

The sun is down when you reach Newport and it's starting to drizzle again, but the city is still fairly active, with restaurants, clubs, fast food joints and similar places still open along with the occasional clothing store but nowhere that would sell anything on your shopping list.

Fie takes the lead, as you've only come here a few times previously and Gareth looks completely lost.

She leads you towards the centre of town, ignoring some of the bigger and flashier hotels, instead leading you to a small but tastefully decorated one about half a street away from the pokemon center.

You follow her in, wondering why she's chosen this particular hotel.

The lady inside perks up on seeing her and after a short discussion, Fie pays and accepts a key before leading you up two flights of stairs, before opening the door to a room that, when the lights come on, leaves both you and Gareth staring.

It's not over the top luxurious, but it makes the room you had at the pokemon center look like a hole in the wall. It's not even a room, so much as it is a suite. You're pretty sure there're units in this city that're smaller than this.

"Like it?" Fie asks with an air of self-satisfaction.

"How much does it cost a night to stay here?" Gareth asks faintly.

"It's not cheap." Fie says seriously. "When I was travelling with Martha and her friends and we were just starting out, we had to all pitch in to afford these places." She explains. "This particular line of hotels caters to established trainers. There's accomodation for us and for our pokemon. Most cheaper hotels tend to have rules to the effect of 'they stay in their balls'."

"Is that the only benefit?" You ask.

Fie shakes her head with a smile.

"Nope. That's just the beginning. Each suite has two bedrooms, double beds and an en suite shower, along with a kitchenette." She adds.

"This place has everything." You observe, shaking your head.

"That it does." Fie agrees as Gareth goes to claim one of the bedrooms. "C'mon, let's put our stuff away and come up with an idea for dinner." She says, motioning you towards the other bedroom.

>Sure.
>I think I'll room with Gareth.

You follow Fie in and put your bags in the corner, then reconvene in the lounge.

"How much do we owe you for the room?" You ask.

Fie just shakes her head.

"Give me a backrub and set up my tent all the way to Saltcoast and we'll call it even." She replies.

"That seems a bit much." Gareth observes.

In response, Fie puts the receipt on the table.

Gareth's eyes nearly bug out of his head at the number on the receipt. You've got to admit as well, that's a decent number of zeroes.

"Anyway, dinner." You prompt.

"We could always stay here and cook." Gareth notes.

"A lot of the clubs around here serve food as well." Fie says. "And most of 'em cater to pokemon as well."

>Stay in and cook.
>Go to a club.
>Order takeaway.
>Go get some fast food.

>>4999306

>>4999499


"A club sounds like fun." You admit.

Gareth shrugs.

"Why not? New experiences and all that, right?" He says.

"Great. I know a place." Fie says.

With that, you head out again, following Fie to the main street and then down a couple of blocks past the pokemon centre to a busy entertainment precinct to a large nightclub.

Contraire to your expectations, you have no trouble getting in, although you notice that Gareth relaxes when he notices the sign above the counter that specifically states that alcohol isn't served here.

It's pretty busy in here and you notice there're a lot of trainers, although another sign specifically forbids battling.

Everyone seems to be having a good time as well.

There're several different groups sat around taking meals with their teams while a lot of people are also taking advantage of the dance floor.

After some searching, you manage to get a wall booth before you go up and order then sit down.

>Let your team out.

Once you're comfortable, you let your team out, which is the signal for Fie and Gareth to do the same, effectively filling the booth up.

"You did a lot while you were travelling with those four, didn't you?" Gareth asks.

"We had our fun." Fie agreed. "So, what's the plan for tomorrow Alex?" She asks.

"I think I'll go shopping in the morning and train in the afternoon." You reply. "And challenge the gym the day after." You add, checking how much money you've got.

There's a fair bit there. It should be enough to get everything on your list, but then you'll be broke.

"Probably the best way to handle it." Fie confirms, before you all look around as there's shouting at the door.

Then there's the pop of a poke ball and the next thing, half the club is on fire and people are screaming and panicking.

"Shit!" Fie says, vaulting the table and already ordering her Skrelp to suppress the fire.

Kay O-o and Blitz follow close at your heels, along with Syurm who String Shots to your shoulder.

At the door are a bunch of trainers in bright green hoods emblazoned on the chest with bloody fists screaming obscenities and names and slogans about 'murder' and 'torture'. Not one of them looks like they've ever done a day's hard work in their lives or lifts anything heavier than their phones on a regular basis.

Security is presently pushing back the bulk of them, but some are trying to slip around the sides.

Gareth breaks off, heading to intercept one group, while another is coming right towards you with a Growlithe of her own, which you assume is the one who set the fire.

"Hand over your pokemon, pig!" The woman screams, her voice slightly muffled by a bandanna. Without waiting for a response, she points at you. "Flame Wheel!"

It might actually be to your advantage that you forgot to return your team.

You take a deep breath then breathe out:

"Syurm, String Shot her." You order and the crazy lady is suddenly grappling with a mask of sticky silk, cutting off her order to her Growlithe.

That's the immediate trouble taken care of.

"Blitz, Bite." You order and he grabs the other Growlithe by the scruff as it hesitates, earning a yelp and a flinch from it.

"Rusty, Rock Tomb." You order and the woman's Growlithe is pelted with what looks like a pile of gravel in response, which seems to have knocked it out cold.

In the aftermath, you stride forward, pin the woman struggling with the mask in a half-nelson against the walls and grab her Growlithe's poke ball, retrieving her pokemon as the woman struggles and screams about assault as two more green-hooded hooligans rush at you, sending out an Oddish and a Snover.

You can hear Sirens in the distance and the weirdos towards the back are starting to scatter.

You can see Gareth out of the corner of your eye beating down several of them with his staff while his Druddigon, Mienfoo and Geodude variously incapacitate opposing pokemon or make sure that the people Gareth has already knocked down, stay down.

You can't see what Fie is up to, but it sounds like she and some of the other trainers almost have the fire under control.

Okay, well she's not going anywhere.

In the interest of keeping things moving from here though I'll use the first roll for as long as you're pinning her and ask for rolls for pokemon seperately.

The woman continues to scream and struggle, but you barely even register it. Has she been eating nothing but two-minute noodles her whole life or something?

"Fluffy, Helping Hand on Syurm." You order. Immediately, Fluffy glows and Syurm glows in sympathy.

"Syurm, String Shot those two." You order, indicating the two men in question.

It's chaos right now, but you're in the zone.

You sweep the woman's leg and put her on her stomach.

"Rusty, c'mere and sit on her." You order as Syurm arcs two thick, sticky wads of silk into the two new challengers' faces from your shoulder, resulting in them swearing and trying to pull it off vainly instead of ordering their pokemon.

Rusty comes bounding over and all but belly-flops onto the woman, knocking the breath out of her and effectively pinning her to the ground as he's sitting in the middle of her back where she can't reach and considering she couldn't budge you with far, far better leverage, she's out of this fight.

"Blitz, Bite Oddish. Volta, Spark!" You order as the two mens' pokemon hesitate.

The pair are on the Oddish in a moment, Blitz Biting first and causing Oddish to Flinch, while Volta slams into it and discharges a burst of electricity, severely winding it while the other man's Snover watches on indecisively.

You can see blue and red lights at the end of the street now and you can see Fie and her team running into the general melee to try and catch more of these green-hooded idiots as Gareth and his team hold up another group and prevent them from fleeing the scene through a combination of battling and Gareth knocking people down with his staff.

"Blitz, Ember on that Snover!" You Order. "Volta, Bite Oddish. Fluffy, Covet. Get their poke balls." You say as you rush towards the two struggling men. "Kay O-o, go after him, Tackle!" You add, singling out another running man. "Syurm, when these two are down, tie them up!"

With that, you're on the first man.

>Roll three times.

You drop the first guy as he's struggling with the string and Syurm sticks him to the ground with no issue.

You step over him as the second guy wrenches the string off his face and sidestep a huge kick and try to repeat the same maneuver on him as well, only for him to push you off and stagger back as Kay O-o knocks his target prone for Syurm to helpfully web to the ground.

Behind you, you hear a thud as the Snover drops to the ground as well while Volta scores another solid bite on the Oddish.

"Oddish, Poisonpowder!" Your opponent orders, before swinging a punch at you, which personally, you consider a mistake with the authorities almost on top of you when he could be trying to run instead, but nothing about these people has struck you as particularly intelligent.

You see stars and stagger back before you can say anything.

The hooligan is coming at you with another punch. Oddly, you're more stunned by the impact than anything, you turn aside the next punch, gain wrist control and put the man on his stomach before Syurm helpfully sticks him to the pavement as your cheek throbs dully.

You've dealt with worse hits sparring. Really, it's more embarassing you got hit in the first place with how telegraphed that punch was. You also have to wonder what have these people been doing that they hit like play-fighting children?

"Blitz, Ember that Oddish." You order as the police begin to corral the scene as you notice that Volta took the brunt of the Poison powder.

"Syurm, String Shot." You order, indicating the man that Kay O-o Tackled as he tries to get up and run off.

You have to suppress a smile as Syurm sticks his legs together and he faceplants before he's effectively coccooned as he tries to free his legs. She's getting pretty good at this. Maybe there're some other moves you can try teaching her that are derived from String Shot.

The next thing you know, there're police everywhere. You recall your team, barring Syurm and Rusty as firemen along with a group of Squirtle go into the bar to ensure the fire is out.

One police woman comes up to you, eyeing the belt of poke balls in your hand and the two others Fluffy was helpfully carrying for you.

"Decided to be a hero tonight, huh?" The officer asks.

"Er... N-no, but these guys just showed up, started trouble at the door and set the bar on fire in the process and tried to force their way in." You explain.

The officer nods as she jots this information down.

She continues to question you over what exactly happened while nearby, you notice Fie and Gareth being likewise interviewed as another pair of officers peel the string-shotted hooligans off the pavement and throw them in a paddy wagon, before hoisting the woman Rusty has been sitting on up as sh continues to cry rape and assault.

Eventually, you're allowed to leave, which you do.

You never got your order, but then again, you hadn't paid yet either.

"Well, that was a bust." Fie says with a heavy sigh as you head back down the street. "Fast food take out?" She suggests.

>Sure.
>Let's just go cook something.
>Let's find some other place.
>Go to the pokemon centre. You can get food there and get your pokemon looked at.
>Other.

>>5002097
>>Sure.

>>5002097
Do we have any Antidotes? We should go to the PokeCenter anyway.

>Sure.
>Let's pay a visit to the PokeCenter right after, I want to get Volta checked

>>5002097
>Sure
> I want to check up on Volta first tho. She got hit with poison powder.

Take note to always carry a medicine kit for our pokemon (Antidote, Burn heal and Feeze heal).

"Let's go to the pokemon centre." You reply. "Volta got hit by Poisonpowder so I'd prefer to get her checked than leave that."

"That sounds like a good idea." Gareth agrees. "My team got pretty beat up back there as well." He adds.

"Alright, poke centre it is." Fie says with a shrug.

You're not the only ones in there when you arrive but you are the only ones who need your pokemon looked at. The nurse quotes you and Gareth fifteen minutes, then walks off, leaving you to go to the mess hall for some food.

You pay and get a seat close to the TV.

As you eat, you're distracted by a missing persons report.

"...Sophia Palm was last seen at her father's mansion three days ago. No one has claimed responsibility for her disappearance and no ransom demands have been made, leading authorities to fear the worst."

You look up to see a picture of a shy-looking blonde girl around your own age emblazoned on the TV.

"If you have any information, please call this number." The broadcast continues, before cutting to a sports recap.

"If she's the daughter of the businessman, I'd say she bailed." Fie opines appropos of nothing as you all go back to your food. "Only so long you can put up with a toxic father figure." She added.

You don't say anything, but you're inclined to agree.

James Palm is one of the richest men in the region. A mining magnate and industrialist who, as of late, has been attracting a lot of criticism over some very shady undertakings he's been linked to. His wife left him in a spectacularly public break-up several years ago and hasn't been heard from since.

>No comment.
>Maybe she found something out.
>Perhaps we ought to keep an eye out for her.

If she has run away she'll need help just as much as if she really got stuck somewhere.

>>5002541
Also off mark comment: "She's kinda hot tho. Might get in trouble with guys outside."

"Perhaps we ought to keep an eye out." You suggest.

"Probably." Fie agrees. "I'd lay odds she'll try striking out as a trainer without registering." She predicts. "Which wouldn't end well for her. If we can help her out though, we should." She agrees.

"You don't like James Palm, do you?" Gareth guesses.

"More like I don't like his company. So, by extension you might say." Fie replies. "If what my dad turned into working for him is any reflection on him though, I can say quite honestly I hate his guts though." She adds flatly.

There's a beat.

"...She's kind of hot." You say into the awkward silence, earning a punch in the arm from Fie as Gareth coughs at the observation.

"Calm down, casanova." Fie chides, though she sounds grateful for your changing the subject.

"I hope she's safe." Gareth says. "I've heard men in cities like this can be little better than beasts." He adds.

"All the more reason to keep an eye out for her." Fie says.

You finish up and get your pokemon back before heading back to the hotel.

As you walk, you find yourself looking around, peering into the lanes, half expecting to see the lost heiress down one of them, but there's no one there. At most, you see the occasional wild pokemon lurking.

Once you're back in your room, you take turns showering before falling gratefully into bed next to Fie.

>Go to sleep.
>Talk with Fie.
>Roughhouse.
>Meditate before you fall asleep.

>>5002812

>Care to come with me shopping?
>Any ideas for training tommorow?
>I'm quite happy with how my team behave and progress
>I'm quite happy to be with you

>>5002875
Should be a more bit input.
If you want to talk to her pick up the topic of our dad being a runaway rich kid that got goaded into joining a gang as a child.

>>5002813
>>5002875

"What a day..." You say.

"Mmhm." Fie says from where she's curled up.

"D'you want to come shopping tomorrow?" You ask.

"That was the plan..." Fie agrees. "You need some proper stuff." She explains without turning to look at you.

"Mm." You settle in, then smile to yourself.

"Alright, whatever's on your mind, spit it out." Fie says.

"Just thinking about my dad." You reply. "He was a runaway rich kid as well." You explain.

"Huh. There a story there?" Fie asks sleepily.

"Kind of. Ran away from an arranged marriage with a woman whom he described as 'a psychotic bitch'." You explain. "He wound up joining a gang. Met mum. And apparently wound upgoing all around the world as a result." You add.

"That missing girl's got you thinking, hasn't it?" Fie deduces.

"Kind of." You admit.

"Well, you can rehearse your pick up lines if you want, but I'm beat." Fie says. "Wake me up for anything less than a fire before eight AM and you'll regret it." She promises.

>Love you two.
>Just go to sleep.
>Give her a hug.
>'Night.
>Other

>>5002885

>>5002901
>>5002921

"Love you too." You reply drily.

You're rewarded by Fie squirming at that, but she doesn't reply.

You turn over and shortly, you're asleep as well.

The next morning, you wake up early. The sun's out, but a quick look at your watch reveals it's about 7.30 in the morning. And it's cold. If you move, there's a pretty good chance you're going to disturb Fie.

>Get up carefully and go shower.
>Get up and go shower, nevermind if a bit of cold gets in.
>Lay in, wait for Fie to wake up.
