Three days pass as Elliot and Athena prepare to venture across Sinnoh and visit Professor Rowan. Celeste and Lilim would be joining them on this adventure. They meet at the train station not far from Elliot's house. Elliot is wearing a pair of long, white cargo shorts and a plain black t-shirt. He is also wearing his usual canvas sneakers and a messenger bag. Athena is wearing one of Elliot shirts. It has a symbol from a punk rock that they both enjoy. The two of them walk up the large stairs in front of the train station to see their two companions for this adventure. Celeste was wearing a white long sleeve V-neck shirt and a medium length red skirt. Her hair was up in a long curly bun and she was wearing white and pink sneakers. Lilim looked the same as usual, except for one thing. Elliot couldn't quite put a finger on it.
"Elliot!" Celeste runs over and hugs him. Athena softly scowls.
"This girl again..." Athena thinks to herself.
"H-hey Celeste... G-good to see you too." Elliot hugs back.
"So what are we waiting for...?"
"O-Oh... well let's go then." The four of them enter the train station and find the terminal for Jubilife city. The station is quite crowded. Elliot and Celeste are almost knocked over multiple times. When they find their train, they attempt to board it. A guard stops them as they enter.
"Stop... do you have your passes...?"
"Of coarse... Elliot reaches for his pass but Athena had been holding onto it. The guard checks the pass and returns it. Elliot turns and looks at Celeste, who is desperately rummaging through her purse.
"No... where is it!?" Celeste speaks with panic in her voice. The guard scowls and crosses his arms.
"Mam... if you cannot find your-"
Celeste interrupts. "I know I have it... I had it just two-" Celeste's eyes widen drastically and her expression becomes desperate. "Someone took it out of my purse when we walked through the crowd! I remember my purse was open when we entered! I am so stupid!" Celeste covers her face.
"Sorry mam, but if you don't have a pass you-" The man's words stop abruptly. "Thank you and sorry to bother you." He then exits the train. Elliot turns to Athena and Lilim. Athena's eyes are glowing.
"Your... welcome... Celeste."
Elliot looks somewhat shocked.
"A-Athena... did you just...?" Elliot is somewhat upset.
Celeste hugs Athena, pressing her head against her chest. Athena blushes somewhat.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Athena!" Celeste is beyond overjoyed. After a few seconds, Celeste's face turns somewhat pale and she blushes. She jumps back. Athena had grabbed her breast.
"A-Athena! Why did you do that!?" Celeste is very red.
Elliot is laughing hysterically. Lilim looks somewhat upset. A few moments later, Celeste acts like that didn't happen and tries to find a seat. Luckily, there was no one in the train yet, as the departure time was still thirty minutes away. When Liliam and Celeste turn their backs, Athena holds her own breasts. They were the same size (36 B) but Celeste's were softer and more defined. This made Athena rather jealous.
They all find a open booth and sit together. Time passes slowly but surely. When the time comes for departure, everyone is quite excited. They all watch out the window as the train leaves the terminal and travels through Hearthome. Athena lays her head on Elliot's shoulder and Celeste smiles at them. Although this would be suspicious under normal circumstances, Celeste doesn't think anything of it.
Celeste and Elliot exchange small talk back and forth, but mostly everyone just watches the scenery out the window. After two hours of traveling through urban and suburban areas, the enter a mountainous region. Soon, everyone gets rather bored. Elliot begins playing a portable game, Athena is sitting in front of Celeste and brushing her hair, and Lilim is simply meditating. Celeste is somewhat confused by Athena's hair being so human like, but doesn't think to much about it. Her hair was rather long now. It was shoulder length all around. Celeste arranges it into a bun like her's.
Another hour passes and the train is now traveling through Oreburgh, a medium sized, industrial city. There were many factories and a very large mine it at the center of the city. Oreburgh is built up the side of Mount Coronet, so much of the city is built up hill of the mine. Trucks and large pokemon filled the streets, all carrying goods produced in the Oreburgh factories. Although this city is rather dirty and somewhat underdeveloped in places, it is one of the most prosperous cities in all of Sinnoh.
The train takes only thirty minutes to clear Oreburgh and enter the Coronet tunnel. The tunnel takes ten minutes to clear and on the other side. After another hour of mountains, there are meadows and trees here and there and eventually, it is a full blown grassland. Unfortunately, there is little else for the next two hours until they enter a rural region. Houses here and there, but rather far apart. Celeste had fallen asleep, as did Lilim. Athena is holding Elliot's hand.
"How are you doing... Athena...?"
"I am good Elliot... This is... a relaxing... journey... I am happy we... can travel like this..." Athena smiles a large smile and snuggles up to Elliot. She has her head on his shoulder. She lets out a soft cry. Elliot kisses her head.
"I'm happy we can travel together too..."
"What's going to... happen when we... visit Professor Rowan...?"
"Nothing Athena... Rowan just wants to figure out why you are s=the way you are...?"
"The way I am...?"
"Yeah... Normal pokemon of your species aren't as advanced as you are... Your more human and just look..." Elliot points to Athena's chest. "You're much different than a normal Kirlia..."
"Is that... bad?"
"No... it's amazing! Athena... you're so unique... you're perfect... I love everything about you..."
Athena smiles wider and cuddles tighter.
"You are prefect... Elliot... I love you..."
"I love you too Athena..."
Athena places her soft, white lips against Elliot's. Holding him there for a few seconds. While they are kissing, Athena uses her psychic abilities to fully link Elliot and Athena's minds, creating a world inside their heads. In this world, Athena and Elliot are sitting on a beach, side by side. Athena is more human than before. She has a more human shape, and is wearing a bathing suit. Elliot is in a pair of swim trunks.
Elliot is very confused and somewhat flustered. "What's going on Athena!?"
Athena speaks in a human tone, without using her telepathy. "It is alright... this isn't real... It is a link between our minds... but much more powerful... I cannot do this for long... it can be dangerous for your mind..."
"O-Oh... alright... Well... wait! You can speak...! Your voice is so beautiful..."
Athena looks rather sad. "Unfortunately... I cannot speak anywhere except for here... My body doesn't allow me to..."
Elliot wraps his arm around Athena. "It's okay... you're still prefect..."
Athena cuddles up to Elliot and holds him. Her hands are on his chest. She kisses his chest. Elliot looks her in the eyes and kisses her forehead. Athena then pushes over Elliot and mounts him. She kisses him passionately. Elliot wraps his arms around her neck and plays with her hair. They continue to kiss and Athena begins to bite Elliot's neck, he in turn squirms and let's out a very soft moan.
Suddenly, Elliot and Athena are back on the train. The had been away in their minds for about an hour and a half. Celeste is awake now. Elliot and Athena were cuddling. This time, Celeste looks somewhat curious. She was reading a magazine.
"Finally awake, you two?"
Elliot yawns and Athena stretches. "Y-yeah... I feel well rested... What time is it?"
"It's..." Celeste looks at her watch. "About ten after five." Celeste looks concerned. "Y'know... I understand you guys are really close... but you shouldn't just cuddle like that in public. People might think you are and her are together. You know how the world sees that stuff..."
Celeste is genuinely worried about Elliot and Athena.
Elliot thinks to himself. "The world only fears what it doesn't understand... there is nothing wrong with pokemon and humans loving each other." Elliot crosses his arms and continues his inner mono log. "I wish I could change people minds about this stuff... if they saw me and Athena together..." Elliot sighs. "People wouldn't change their minds."
"Hey... you there...?"
"Huh...? Oh yeah... sorry..."
'Some jackass was glaring at you and Athena. I wanted to say something but..."
Elliot notices what she says. He continues to think to himself. "Maybe I'll tell Celeste about me and Ath-"
Athena causes Elliot to have a headache. She doesn't want her to know. "That is... not a good... idea."
Elliot then leans his head back.
"So anyway... We should be at Jubilife in less than an hour.
"Cool... I can't wait to see everything..."
Everyone just sits together and enjoys each others company. After thirty minutes, an announcement sounds over the intercom. It says they are five minutes from Jubilife Station. The group begins to gather their things and gets ready. When the train arrives at the station, the passengers steadily exit the train. Jubilife station was the size of Hearhome, but there were large monitors and billboards. It was much more modern.
"Look at this place Elliot! It's so epic!"
"Yeah! Look at all the screens!"
Athena is also interested in the scene. After a few seconds of basking in the sights, the group exits the station to a large, neon lit street with many people traveling back and forth. (Much like Tokyo) The streets were somewhat narrow but there weren't many cars. There were many neon signs and monitors on the buildings and so many lights that it was almost as clear as day.
"This is AMAZING!" screams Celeste.
"Elliot cheers. "Wow!"
Athena smiles and raises her hands up.
"So beautiful!"
Liliam just smiles and holds her hands together.
"What should we do first Elliot!?"
"I'm not sure! Maybe a arcade!"
"Alright! Let's find an arcade!" The four of them run down the street and read a few signs that lead to the main street. It is six blocks away. They run to main street and there are many lights and a massive LED screen on a large building. It says it's the Jubilife Broadcasting Channel.
"Celeste! Look at how massive that screen is!"
"Wow! That's the JBC! They broadcast a bunch of awesome show! Like that show about the model's pokemon battling!
"Oh, you mean "Beauty and Brawn"?"
"Yeah! That one! I love that show!"
The massive screen shows a blonde haired woman. She is in a somewhat sexy dress and make up. It's an advertisement for some energy drink. Athena looks at the woman. She is completely awestruck.
"Hehe, Elliot... I think Athena likes Elesa!"
"Huh?" Athena is blushing and staring at the screen.
"You like her, Athena?"
"She is awesome after all. She's a model and a gym leader in Unova."
Athena lets out a happy cry. "This woman... is gorgeous. I want to be... that beautiful."
Elliot hugs Athena and whispers in her ear. "You are beyond beautiful. You are absolutely perfect."
Athena blushes and hugs Elliot back. She then climbs on his back.
"Alright! Let's get going!"
The group runs down a few streets, following some signs. After a few minutes, they stumble upon main street, which is filled to the brim with people. It is getting dark out, but there seems no signs of the crowds letting up. They walk down the street and pass some cafes, BBQ restaurants, hotels and nightclubs. After a few more blocks, they find a video arcade. When they enter, Celeste immediately runs over to a dancing game.
"Oh man! Look guys!" Celeste looks overjoyed. Elliot and Lilim however, do not. Athena is also quite excited and let's out a happy cry. Athena and Celeste begin playing. Elliot walks over to a game named Lavender Tower: The Curse". He sits inside and starts the game. He picks up the gun and feels someone sit beside him. He looks over and it is Lilim. Elliot smiles and they play the game together.
After an hour of playing their games, the group unites. Athena and Celeste are exhausted and panting. Elliot and Lilim are somewhat jumpy.
"S-So... w-w...what do you... you guys wanna do...?"
Elliot takes a deep breath and relaxes. "I don't know... I'm still a bit wound up from that "buried alive" thing in that game."
"Well... h-how about we visit that... manga cafe a few blocks... back. I'm sure they serve... food."
Athena and Celeste are still quite tired. Athena is rather red. Se climbs on Elliot back and they all decide to go to the cafe. They eat and read some manga. Athena smiles and cries at a girl dressed like a magical girl princess. After they eat, they try to find a hotel. Unfortunately, the only hotel they could find with available rooms is a love hotel.
They rent a room and enter it to find a rather romantic environment. There are two beds and they both have silk sheets. Celeste opens up a drawer in the night stand. She blushes brightly and closes it. Elliot and Athena see this and are curious.
"What just happened Celeste?"
"N-Nothing!"
"W-what...? That sure doesn't sound like nothing."
Athena opens the drawer and pulls a unopened condom. She doesn't know what it is. Elliot and Celeste both blush."
"What is this strange object...?"
"Um... Athena... that's for when people have... sex... y'know...? So they don't have a baby."
Athena blushes very brightly."For... sex...?" Athena drops it and hides her face. Shortly afterward, there is a large sigh.
"I forgot my jammies..." says Celeste with a upset tone.
"So what... sleep in your underwear..."
"No! You'd see me in my panties!"
As Celeste says that, Elliot is already getting undress and is in his boxers, getting ready for bed. Celeste blushes brightly. Athena takes off her shirt. Celeste notices her breasts.
"A-Athena...? W-What are those...?"
Athena looks nervous. Elliot sighs and explains what the whole purpose of this trip is.
"So... wait... Athena is evolving in a new way...? Like what...?"
"We don't know... but she has breasts now and is much taller and more human than there is any record of."
"Well... now that you mention it... I've never seen another Kirlia, but she is really human like..."
"Yeah... so... Athena is special... beyond just being Shining."
They chat for a few more minutes about Athena before everyone begins to go to bed. Elliot is laying down and Athena is laying beside him. In the other bed, Lilim is already laying down and Celeste is changing in the bathroom. The lights are out and Elliot seems asleep. Celeste sneaks out and tries to get to bed without making noise. Elliot sneaks a peek at her. She is somewhat thin, but still rather pretty. She is thin but has a nice physique. As he thinks this, Athena pinches his butt pretty hard.
Shortly afterward, everyone falls asleep, excited for tomorrow's upcoming events and the trip to Sandgem.
End Of Chapter Six!
I revisited this chapter because I felt as if the chapter prior to this edit was to different and low quality compared my normal writing. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
