CHAPTER 7

INTERLUDE: GRIND YOUR ASS OFF!

The Lunch Sabrina made was composed of rice, soup and barbeque.

Outlaw found his appetite and Sabrina cooked a huge amount and she told him to fill his stomach.

Both of them ate with good appetite.

When Outlaw is refilling his plate with rice for the third time Sabrina spoke.

"Why don't you stay in the City for a week? ", she suggested.

"A week? 3 days is all I can managed", Outlaw replied.

"You deserve some rest."

"I know but that is too much."

He continued eating but Sabrina kept on talking.

"So are you going to stay for a while? ", she asked.

"3 days", Outlaw answered although there's still some food on his mouth.

Sabrina glared at him for talking while his mouth his full until he swallowed.

"Okay, then let's make the most in 3 days, say I will train you around 6pm until 8 pm daily", she offered.

Outlaw nodded. "That will surely help."

"But first go make a full party. You cannot win the new Pokemon League without a party of six Pokemon."

"Yes Ma'am", Outlaw replied.


In an Island in the Alola Region…

Inside a clean apartment slept a couple. They are covered in a single big blanket and underneath they are not wearing anything.

Red woke up and looked beside him. Leaf is sleeping peacefully and snoring gently.

He smiled and kissed her forehead before he remembered what happened last night.

Last night he and Leaf did love. He went berserk and lost his composure, not considering that it is both their first time. He forgot to continue being gentle and went like a raging beast. He blushed for a moment when he remembered everything but he smiled instead. There is nothing wrong if you do it with your wife.

He rose from the bed, leaving Leaf behind under her blanket and went to put on some clothes.

He turned on his Laptop to check is mail. So far the only mail he received is from Blue who is back at the Hoenn region.

He's wondering. It had been months since he last had contact with Professor Oak and his mom. He even tried calling Lance the Dragon Master but failed and his phone kept on giving him the 'signal out of reach' notification.

"What's happening? ", he asked as he remembered that when he watched the 37TH POKEMON WORLD CUP from the television no one from the Kanto Region participated which is not usual.

He researched about the this year's Kanto League Conference but the internet returned him nothing but results of last year.

Again he wondered.

What is going on? There should be a new Kanto League Champion by now, he thought.

He then took his phone as is about to call his mom.

"Good morning sweetie", Leaf greeted him. He turned around, Leaf is wearing black shorts and a light blue spaghetti strap shirt.

"Oh good morning Leaf", Red greeted her back. She went behind him and embraced him while he continued doing searches on his Laptop.

After doing some searches he got impatient while Leaf started to cook breakfast for them.

"So Red", she began. "Why do you kept on searching about the Kanto League Conference about 20 times this early?" She continued to do her cooking.

"I don't know but I suddenly realized that the last time I got a call from mom was months ago", Red said.

"Oh I just called mom and dad last night", Leaf said energetically.

"Leaf where are they staying now?"

"They're back at Six Island. "

"Ah I see… ", Red said as he touched his chin with his right hand for a moment before continuing his thoughts.

"By the way Gold and Crystal are on a relationship now", Leaf said, changing the topic. "Crystal made a call to me last night, thanking me."

"And what did you do naughty girl? ", Red teased her.

"Well just gave Crystal some tips and hey… ", Leaf giggled as Red's facial expression changed from serious to annoyed. "…I only told her that she should be honest with her feelings."

Red sighed. "Thank God you taught her nothing else."

"And why is that so? ", Leaf said and served the meals on the table. Red turned off his laptop and took his plate and utensils.

"Nevermind", Red said.

They ate in silence. She kept looking at Red and wondered why he suddenly looked worried, never did she saw that face of Red in a while.

"Hey Sweetie what's wrong? ", asked Leaf.

"I just thought that something strange is going on… ", Red answered.


The 3 days went by and Outlaw still don't have a full party. He did not even try to catch a single Pokemon.

He grinded like 6 hours a day and his Pidgey evolved all the way to Pidgeot. His Croconaw is Feraligatr now and his Sandslash learned Mud Bomb.

Sabrina trained him well. She did her best to release the potential within him.

At night she let him sleep at the guest room of her house.

Then the day of his leaving had finally arrived.

He stood at the gates of Saffron with Sabrina looking at him.

He looked back and thanked her.

"To be honest I want you to stay longer", she earnestly said. "I never had someone to hang out with for a while."

"Huh? ", Outlaw said.

"What I mean is, my friends are busy, others are not in Kanto", she said and he saw her facial expression changed from serious to sad.

Any guy who sees Sabrina sad will seriously comfort her. Outlaw saw her other side during his 3 days of stay, she may be strong and serious but she have a soft side.

"When this is all over you will see your friends again", Outlaw managed to say.

Then Sabrina stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

"Hey I can't… ", Outlaw broke off but Sabrina hugged him tighter. He did not blush at first but when he felt Sabrina's breast touching chest his face turned tomato red.

When she pulled away she looked at him and smiled. "You better be careful. I don't want you dead."

"I won't die", Outlaw said although he is not sure if he will manage to succeed.

"You know Outlaw your battling style is a major turn-on", Sabrina said.

Wait a sec are you confessing or what? He thought. You're 7 years older than me, you're off with someone better than a guy from the slums.

"And anyone who sees that side of you will fall drastically for you", she finished.

"Thanks for the compliment but I'd rather end this Kanto crisis already", Outlaw said. He smiled one last time before leaving.

He did not turn around anymore. He walked forward, ready to get his final two badges.

Sabrina looked at him while he is walking away from the City and she smiled. You're really a major turn-on, she thought. I hope to see you again Outlaw.
