A/N Hey, I'm Finally back to write another chapter of The beautiful people. I'm spacing out my chapters a bit more as I feel like it so that I don't burn myself out and then stop for 2 months at a time, like before. Anyways, I've read your reviews, and I have to thank you for them. There will be a goal, but there is more fun in the adventures along the way. And sitting here writing this, I realized just how bad my writing setup is. I have a keyboard (that's the size of my hand), a cardboard box to hold my phone, and a stand for my phone made out of legos, and this is all on my (somewhat large) smartphone. I'm also just sitting up in bed, with pandora on in the background. Wow, it's a miracle that I can write this much at all. But anyhow, sorry for my random ranting and unrelated storytelling. Now, onto the main show!
-POV Jessica-
I woke up with my head on top of Jake's chest. I opened my eyes for a moment without moving, and noticed the lack of light. The room had a few small beams penetrating through the window, like the dying coals of a fire. I closed my eyes again, and snuggled back up to Jake. I had my arm around him, and I pulled him in a little tighter, and I adjusted my head to be right over his heart as I listened to the rythmatic beating. I sat there in peace for a minute, then I felt fear grip my heart and mind again. I felt the fear that I was losing him again, and I felt sadness that he may indeed be lost. I cleared my mind and tried to assure myself that all is fine.
"Jess, don't be unreasonable. He's not leaving you. He's not dead. I'm sitting here listening to his heart beat. The one thing that gives him life, I know that it's still beating. In fact, the sound of it is quite soothing." I thought, attempting to calm down from my irrational fear. I sat there, my own heart racing, and I felt the fear still within me. I couldn't shake it. I decided that I would just ignore the gripping, constricting feeling for now, and deal with it when I was assured that Jake would make a full recovery. That I would be better when I saw it in action.
I took a deep breath in through my nose, and I smelled his clothes, and I could smell hs deodorant and traces of vomit. Excluding the vomit, It was quite a calming smell, and I grounded myself and clung to him. I felt that I was too awake at this point to go back to sleep, so I decided to get up, and make myself a coffee. I snuck out from under the blanket and stretched quietly, making sure that the other 2 in the other bed remained asleep. I went over to the coffee pot, and put the grounds in, and the water. I hit the button, and I heard and saw it boot to life as it brewed the black elixir of life. I soon smelled it and I sat down on the edge of my bed, hoping that Jake was still too knocked out to register anything that was going on for quite a while.
I sat there standing off into space, as the light began to envelop the room in it's loving glow. I caught myself daydreaming, and I had snapped out, and noticed the lack of sound coming from the coffee pot. I took a deep breath and was greeted with the warm smell of coffee. I got up and poured myself a cup of black coffee. I brought it back to my bed and took a sip. I let out a content sigh, ignoring the feelings within me. And I heard shuffling in the sheets on the bed next to me. I looked over to my left, and saw Lethe was stirring. I watched her roll over for a minute, and she eventually gave up on trying to get comfortable. She lifted her head off of the pillow and we made eye contact and she smiled at me. I gave her a fake smile back, feeling as if happy was an emotion that I was incapable of at this moment.
"Morning Jess. Sleep well last night?" asked Lethe, in little more than a whisper. I nodded in response.
"Yeah, what about you?"
"I slept well enough. Is that coffee I smell?" she asked, sticking her nose into the air, and taking a few breaths in through her nose.
"Yes, it is. Want some?" I asked and she nodded her head.
"Please. I slept well, but getting up is the hard part." she joked, and I rolled my eyes. I set my cup down on the nightstand next to me, and got up and poured her a cup of coffee and set it down on her side of the shared night table. She fully got up, and mumbled her thanks, before going over to the cup, and lapping some up.
I picked my cup up and held it between my hands and got lost in thought again, ignoring my surroundings. "You know, I can't stand this feeling. I guess that shows that my worst fear is losing Jake. I'm going to do my best to keep him safe. Keep him away from unnecessary risks. If that takes every ounce of energy out of me, so be it." I thought, and I felt the bed move. I turned around, and saw Jake was finally awaking.
-POV Jake-
I woke up and was instantly hit with a wave of nausea. I sat up, and saw the room spinning before me. I saw Jess sitting on the edge of the bed, and Lethe was sitting up and awake on the other one. I heard something being said to me, but my brain registered it as a garbled mess. I held up my hand, and on it I held up a single finger, which I had intended to mean 'wait a minute.' I felt it swaying as the world did before me, and I blinked a few times to clear up my vision. I felt the fog clear in my line of sight, but the room was still spinning. I forced my eyes to stop moving and I tried to focus on Jess. She was turned towards me still, so I focused on her breasts. I stared at the large green orbs on her chest, their full glory hidden by her gown. I stared at them for a minute and the room slowly stopped spinning as I focused. I heard Jess speak up once more, and this time I could understand her.
"You know, if you want to see them, all you have to do is ask." she said, smiling, and gesturing to her boobs.
"The world was spinning, and I wanted to stop it, and your boobs were a nice spot to stare at for a minute." I said, and I chuckled, and I adjusted myself, so that I was sitting up properly, and I stretched my back. I felt my nausea slowly leave me, and I started to feel normal again. "But, thanks for the offer. I'd love to see them." I said, raising my eyebrows a few times and winking.
"Sure, as I said. All you had to do was ask. You can touch them if you want." she said as she undid the top part of her gown, and took it off, exposing her boobs. My eyes shot to them, and her large, mint green nipples. They were quickly hardening in the cold morning air, and I felt myself smile and nod. My pants were also becoming uncomfortably tight, as a tent was being pitched.
"Like what you see Jake?" Lethe piped in and I nodded.
"Indeed I do Lethe. It's quite a sight to see." I said and Jess leaned over to me, her breasts moving with the gravity, falling to her left as she leaned, then laid down with her head next to my chest.
"Go ahead. Touch them." she said to me with a seductive smile, and I, not being a man to let a lady down, did just that. I extended a hand and squeezed her boob. I was surprised at the softness as I squeezed it, and I pinched one of her hard nipples, and lightly rolled it between my fingers. She let out a sigh of delight and bit her lip. I reached my other hand out, and grabbed her other boob. I grabbed the entirety of it in my large hand, and gave it a light squeeze, and I jiggled it. I watched the ripple along her soft flesh as she giggled.
"Ok lover boy, that's enough touching for one morning." She said and I sadly removed my hands. I gave her a fake pouty face and she chuckled and wiggled her finger at me. "Nope. Maybe later." She put her breast back into her white gown. I rolled my eyes at her and let out a long, dramatic sigh. She rolled her eyes and I smiled and took an extended sip of my coffee, loving the taste and savoring every drop. After we sat around in silence for a full few minutes, Lethe spoke up.
"So, what is the plan for today Jake? Anything that you have in mind? We can go east and take a bit of a vacation up at the lake of rage. Or, we can head directly to Blackthorn to challenge Claire. Of course, we could also head west and explore from there. Completely your choice." I bit my lip and thought about her suggestions. I began to hum, and lost myself in thought for a few minutes, weighing the options between the different places that we could head.
"To be honest girls, I really don't know. I'm sorta liking your idea of heading to Lake of Rage and relaxing for a little while. It would take a day for us to get there, and we'd have to do some camping tonight. It'll be warm enough, so if you all want to do that, I'm cool with that." I said to the both of them, and Lethe nodded without much of a thought, but Jessica, like me, weighed her options. Flower was still fast asleep, and I didn't bother waking her. Seeing as she had no idea where any of these things were, and also due to the fact that she would have no real preference, knowing absolutely nothing about these places.
"You know what, I sorta like that idea. Let's head to the lake of Rage. But, do we really have to camp out overnight?" She said with a tone in her voice that I hand't heard much before. She sounded like this so rarely, that I couldn't pinpoint what she meant.
"Yeah unfortunately. Why? Something wrong?" I asked and she didn't move for a minute, and eventually shook her head.
"No, I suppose not. I just want you to stay safe." She said, and I recognized the tone. It was a tone of worry in her voice. I decided not to confront her on this, seeing as it would probably be embarrassing for her, and I knew that she only had my best intentions in mind.
"Don't worry. Anything that happens to come and try to hurt us, I'm a match for. You've seen me and my fighting skills. Don't worry, ok?" I said and she seemed unassured.
"Ok, I'll trust you Jake." she said, and she briefly nodded, and went back to her thinking. I tried to give her an encouraging smile and I gave her a hug, avoiding her chest spike. She put her head up against mine, and she held me for a minute, refusing to let go. Much in the same way that a grandparent will before they have to let you go, whether it be for a week, or a year, or forever. She eventually let me go, and I felt something in my stomach, spreading up to my heart. Genuine love. I sat there, infatuated for a full minute before Lethe cleared her throat and snapped me out of it.
"Well, we going to get going then? We should try to cover as much ground as possible before tonight, so that we don't have far to go tomorrow. It's a good time to do that. June has the best day and night temperatures, especially this far north. A cool 80 (farenheit) in the day, and still a good 50 at night. We should go while we can see." She said and I nodded.
"Sure, my stomach is still a little queasy from yesterday, and I feel a little off, so we'll probably have to travel slower, but sure. In fact, it's probably a good idea we're leaving earlier if we can't travel quite as fast." I said and Lethe's face lit up.
"Oh yeah, how are you feeling after yesterday? Better?" she asked and I nodded.
"Much better, not perfect, but much better. I mean, my pants are uncomfortably tight after this morning, but otherwise good. Actually, that makes it even better." I said with a wink directed towards the both of them and Jess let out a quick snort of laughter and immediately covered her mouth and looked embarrassed. In doing so, she sent Lethe and I into fits of laughter. She began to look more and more embarrassed as we kept laughing.
"Jess, we're laughing at your response. You looked so funny just instantly covering your mouth as soon as you laughed." I said and she she removed her hands from her mouth and she had a small half smile on her face. I heard a yawn from under the covers in the other bed and I looked over to see Flower's blue head poking out from under the covers and looking at me.
"Well good morning Flower. Sleep well?" asked Lethe and she replied with a brief "uh huh."
"Well Flower, we're planing on heading out soon. do what you have to do to get ready, and we'll be heading out within the next, oh, twenty minutes or so. Ok?" I asked and she nodded. "Good, lets get moving." I said as I got up, and grabbed some clothes to get dressed with. I went into the bathroom, and the first thing that caught my attention was the purple dildo on the edge of the tub, and I smiled.
"Oh, someone had some fun. Wonder who it was." I thought as I picked it up. I felt kinky and still turned on so I put it into my mouth and sucked on it for a minute. An unfamiliar taste greeted my mouth, one unlike the other two girls. Lethe tasted like black licorice, but without the sweetness, and Jess tasted like vanilla, for a lack of a better way to describe it. This tasted like something that I couldn't identify. The closest that I could come up with was whole milk. It tasted wonderful, but not sweet. I tasted it for a minute, standing there, trying to identify it, and then it hit me.
"This wasn't Jess or Lethe, this was Flower. She's growing up." I thought and I wasn't sure how to react to the situation. I decided to shrug it off, but I pledged that taste to memory. I liked it, but knew that I wouldn't taste it again for a while. I proceeded to get dressed, and I walked out with the erotic toy within my clothes, and I put it all into my backpack. Jess caught my eye and she talked to me in my mind.
"Wow, they sure grow up fast, don't they?" she asked and she gave me a wink. I nodded at her, not wanting to let Flower to know that I had just tasted her sex toy. At least not quite yet. I picked up my backpack, and I looked around the room one last time to make sure that nothing would be left behind. After my check had turned up negative, I opened the door and we streamed out.
We walked out of the pokemon center and found somewhere simple to eat, a local, old-school diner. We took a booth and began to make idle chit chat. I told Flower about the Lake of Rage and the long time myth that there was a red Gyrados somewhere in the lake, just waiting to gobble up unsuspecting pokemon. I said it with a straight face and I managed to convince her it was true. She got scared of the lake and refused to go to the lake. Eventually I couldn't hold in my laughter and burst.
"Flower, you know I'm just joking right?" I asked, still having a huge smile on my face.
"Wh-hat? You a-are?" She said through her sobs of terror.
"Of course I am. I'm sorry. It doesn't eat small unsuspecting pokemon, but there is a rumor that it does exist." I said and she took a minute to clear up her tears while our drinks came and the waitress scurried off, probably to serve another customer.
She stopped breathing heavy, and instead looked intrigued at this new information.
"Wait, does it really? Why is it red? I thought they were normally blue." she said, and she tilted her head questioningly.
"Yeah, they normally are. Nobody knows why this one is red. It's amazing though, or so I've heard from people who have claimed to seen it." I said and she spent the next ten minutes asking questions about it, most of which I could only answer with "I don't know, I wish I did though."
We walked along the northern route, on the way to Mahogany town, and stopped a few times to enjoy the sights. The first of the times we watched a Pidgey hopping around in the sun, playing tag with the other Pidgey friends. Flower tried to join them, and they flew off, frightened and Flower became sad at the lack of friends for her to play with.
"But Jake, why'd they fly away? I just wanted to play with them." asked Flower, sounding dejected.
"Flower, they don't know that. They think you're attacking them. Don't worry though, we'll see plenty more pokemon out. It's nice and warm, it's a great time to play." I said and she seemed to lighten up at this.
"Jake, do we really have to stop and watch the wild pokemon?" Asked Jess while we were standing there. I looked at her with a confused look.
"Well, It's nice to see. Why? Bored?" I asked and she shook her head.
"No, I just don't like being out in the open for this long. Anything can happen." She said and she sounded nervous.
"Jess, nothing is going to happen. Not with all of you here. Actually, Lethe, Flower, can you go play for a little while?" I asked and I looked over at the two of them, who were currently standing behind me.
"Yeah sure Jake, I won't go too far though. Just come find me when you're ready." said Lethe and she walked over towards where we had just come from and she beckoned Flower over to her and she walked over and they both laid down ands began to talk just out of earshot. I looked towards Jess, who looked visibly stressed out about something.
"Sit down Jess." I said and she walked over to a nearby tree, and sat down under it, leaning up against the trunk of the tree. I walked over to where she went, and I sat down across from her, staring into her eyes. "Jess, what's wrong. You've been different lately. You seem upset about something. Talk to me." I said and she blinked a few times, but didn't answer immediately. She cleared her throat and brushed her green hair out of her eyes. She put her hand on her chest spike and rubbed on it a little, and that more than anything told me that she was stressed out severly about something.
"Well, do I have to tell you?" She asked, returning my gaze for a short second, then stared down at the ground in front of me.
"Yes Jessica. I won't let you leave until you tell me what's wrong and I can help you with whatever is bothering you."
She let out a sigh and looked into my eyes again, and didn't look away. "Well, if you must know, I'm scared." She said, and it caught me off guard
"Scared? About what?" I asked and she paused for a minute.
"About losing you. I'm afraid that I'm going to wake up to see you dead every morning. That battle was close to you dying, you got poisoned and it was by luck alone that you survived. I don't want to see you dead, I love you Jake." she said, pouring her heart out to me. I felt my heart drop, and a few tears ran down Jessica's face. I grabbed a napkin from my pocket that I had grabbed from the resturaunt earlier and I wiped her tears up.
"Jess, don't worry. I will always do whatever is in my power to protect you three, and to be able to wake up to you all. I will do my absolute best to make sure that I never leave you, ok?" I said, and I put my hand on her cheek, and she put her hand on mine.
"Ok, I believe you. But please, don't take any unnecessary risks, ok? I want to maximize that chance." She said and she gave a small smile.
"I can't tell you that I'm not going to take any risks, but I'll try not to take more than I need. Is that good enough for you?" I asked and she nodded.
"I'll take what I can get." She said, and she reached over and put her hand around me, hugging me. I put my arms around her and I pulled her into a tight squeeze. After we broke up our hug, she spoke up once again. "I'm sorry for being so nervous, I can't help it."
"Jess, don't be. It's ok. I'm happy that you told me what's wrong. I can't fix what I don't know about." I said and she smiled.
"Thank you, you're always there for us." I smiled in response and turned to the other two girls who were sitting under a different tree within sight, but out of earshot for a normal conversation.
"Hey Lethe! Flower! Come over here!" I shouted and their heads perked up and they both got up, and walked over to us.
"Yeah?" Asked Flower as they neared.
"We're headed out. We're going to Mahagony town. Let's go." I said as I stood up, and helped Jess up in the process. I watched her as we continued her walk and she seemed shaken still, but she also looked as if she was trying to ignore it.
We made it to Mahagony town at around 1 PM, and we decided to get a late lunch before we headed to the Lake of Rage. We wandered the small mountain town for around ten minutes, and we didn't see any sort of cafe so we decided that we would check into the pokemon center, and ask the nurse there. We walked in and our nostrils were greeted with a variety of wonderful smells including burgers, and wings, and fries, and beer. I felt my mouth immediately start to water, and looking at the girls behind me, I could see that they had the same reaction. I looked around and saw a door that led to what looked like a restaurant and we walked over to it, and walked in.
When we walked in, I saw a large, open room, full of booths and tables, and what appeared to be a bar with about a dozen different taps. A young woman walked over and greeted us.
"Welcome, table for four?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yes please." I said, and she led us over to a table in the most empty corner of the room and sat us down.
"Want anything to drink?" She asked and I nodded. Jess ordered a cherry Pepsi, Lethe ordered a Root beer, and Flower seemed to just want a water.
"I'll take a trip up to the bar and see what's on tap." I said and she nodded and walked off. "Jess, Lethe, Flower, I'm going to the bar and check out their beers. Stay here and behave for a minute or two." I said and they nodded as I walked off. "I'm glad that you can have a beer at 18 here in Johto. Not allowed to drink anything else, but a beer is good." I thought as I ended up ordering myself a Blue Moon beer, and I walked back to my seat. We ended up all getting a different type of burger and we ate it in virtual silence. The burgers were phenomenal, and we couldn't bear to take ourselves away from them to talk. We paid our bill, and walked out, and we got ourselves a room for the night. We got our keycard, and went up to the room to relax for a few minutes, and use the bathroom as needed before we headed out.
We left the room, and told the nurse at the counter that we actually wouldn't need the room after all, seeing as we would be camping. She gladly took back the key, and we walked out.
We trekked north of the town on the route to the lake, watching many pokemon lazing about in the sunlight. I found out that the path to there was much longer than I had expected, and by the time that night had begun to fall, we weren't more than 2/3 of the way there. I set up our tent, and we all sat around in it, talking and joking around. Eventually, I realized that I had to pee, and I'd like to stretch my legs.
"Ok, I'm going for a walk quick. I have to pee, and I I want to walk around and enjoy myself for a while. You three ok with staying here? I'll probably be back within half an hour, but definitely within an hour." I said, waiting for a response. Lethe was the first to reply.
"Sure Jake, enjoy your time alone." She said and she laid down, with just her head still up. Jess was more hesitant to answer.
"Jake, do you have to wander around on your own?" She asked and I shrugged.
"No, I don't have to, but I'd like at least a little alone time. As much as I love you three, I need some time to myself." I said and she looked torn between being ok with me going, and not wanting me to go. Eventually, she made her decision.
"Well, I suppose. Have fun." She said and I nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, have fun Jake!" interjected Flower.
"Thanks Flower. And Don't worry Jess, I'll be just fine. I'll be back soon." I said and with that, I left the tent.
I unzipped the tent, and felt the warm breeze on my face. I stood there for a minute, and enjoyed the feeling of it. I eventually decided that I would get moving, and I did just that. I wandered around for a while, keeping an eye on the trail as I made each turn. I decided that I was far enough in after walking for ten minutes, and I unzipped my pants, and pissed into a nearby bush. I apparently attracted a few wild pokemon by doing this, because off to my right, I heard a rustling in the bushes. I shoved my dick back inside just in time to see a wild Ninetails standing there.
"Well, what are you doing you sexy lost human?" she asked, unaware that I could hear her.
"Well, if you must know, I'm going for a walk, and I had to pee." I said and her face turned to a smile.
"Well, you can understand me, that makes this easier. And why'd you put your dick away? I liked it. It was a very, very nice dick." she said with a smile as she licked her maw.
I looked at her confused. "Why the hell does she want me to whip it out again? Weird pokemon." I thught as I spoke up. "Why exactly do you want me to take my dick out again?" I asked and she let out a bark of laughter.
"Well, it's a very nice one. But, I see your not fooled so I'll tell you outright." she said as I raised my eyebrows, already half knowing where this was going. "I'm in heat, and also without a mate. And you seem like the perfect candidate to help me with my itch. I know you fuck your pokemon, so I shouldn't be a problem." She said, eyeing my crotch.
"Wait, how did you know I have sex with them? And how do you know I have pokemon?" I asked and she chuckled.
"Well, I've had my eye on you since you left the town. I knew, the second I saw you that you're the one to help me. And you're traveling with 3 female pokemon, who all seem smitten to you. If that doesn't mean you're fucking them, then I don't know what does. Now, will you help me?" She asked and I took a moment to think.
"Well, what about the girls? Will they be betrayed? Or will they understand?" I thought, and I stood there without answering for a minute. "I think they'll understand. It's been a while since I've had sex, and im helping her out. What the hell, I'm in." I thought and I nodded to her. "Whatever, if you need help with your problem, I guess that I'm in." I said and the look on her face turned to joy.
"Oh thank you, this means a lot to me. well, whenever you're ready, make me your bitch!" She said, and she turned around and raised her tails to reveal her dripping pussy. I looked at it as I unzipped my pants and became hard from the sexy scene in front of me. I saw her lips twitch occasionally, and the Ninetails was squirming in anticipation.
"Come on, put it in me already!" She said, louder than she should've and I finally freed my my dick.
"As you wish" I said with a sinister smile, and I hilted myself in her hot pussy in one swift thrust. She was very tight, and I felt her gripping me as I adjusted myself. As I hilted myself, she let out a squeal of pleasure, and a moan and she tilted her head back.
"Yes! More! Fuck me!" She shouted and I licked my lips and began to move my hips into hers and she began to pant. I could feel her soaked cunt trying to coax my dick into releasing my load right there, but through sheer willpower I kept myself from coming right then. She pushed her hips back into mine, and her many tails were twitching in sheer pleasure and they slapped me in the face a few times. She began to squeal with every thrust and I could tell that her knees were buckling, and her orgasm was nearby.
"Oh fuck, drench me, fill me! Put out my heat! Make me your bitch!" She shouted as I felt her orgasm wreak chaos on her body. Her knees gave out, and the tightness in her already tight pussy multiplied as it squeezed my cock. I felt my orgasm come near, and I knew that it would be here in the next few seconds. I felt my knees become weak, and a certain feeling that let me know that I was about to come.
I felt my orgasm hit me, as I shot my load into her expecting womb. She pushed herself back onto me as I came directly into her womb. The tip of my dick parted her cervix, and she screamed as I unloaded into her.
We remained joined at the hips for at least a full minute after that as we both came down from our orgasm's and we eventually separated. When we did, there was a rush of cum that came out of her and onto the ground under us. She looked back at me, tongue lolling out and she put it back in to speak.
"Thank you for that. I needed some help. Now, you should probably return back, it's almost too dark to see.' She said and she began to walk away. She was walking slowly, and very carefully, as if to preserve as much of my seed as possible. I smiled and I made my way back to the tent.
By the time I made it back, night had truly fallen upon us, and I walked in.
"Oh, you're finally back! I was worried.. that.. someth.." She said, breaking off. I realized, too late that I probably reeked of sex and I knew that I'd be getting an earful. "Is that smell what I think it is? Really? Couldn't just ask us? Had to go out and fuck someone?" said Jess, raising her voice towards me. I looked away from her, and down at my feel, feeling the cold sting of regret.
"You have this all planned out? That why you left? What bitch was it?" She asked, and I didn't reply. She stood there, waiting for an answer and I realized that the question wasn't rhetorical.
"Well, if you must know, I went walking and a Ninetails cornered me. She was in heat and asked for me to help her. The rest is obvious." I said and I looked up into her eyes, or what little I could see of them in the covering darkness. I could see a mixture of emotions. I could see rage, and grief most prominately. I couldn't bear to look at the one that I had betrayed, so I looked away, and ended up looking right at Lethe.
"Don't look at me. I'm just as pissed as her, and fully agree with her. I just don't show my emotions nearly as much." she said and i looked at my feet.
"Well, I know that you have no reason to like me right now, and I know you're furious beyond belief. All I can say at this point is sorry, and that I still love you guys. It was a one time thing, and a catastrophic mistake. I can only beg for your forgiveness, but I can't ask for it, I don't deserve it." I said and she looked away.
"Whatever. I'll think about it and sleep on it. You're sleeping alone tonight though." Said Jess and I sadly nodded, feeling my heart being torn. I grabbed my sleeping bac, and brought it to the far end of the tent, and laid down in it, and laid there to think for the night. After what felt like hours of pain and emptiness, I fell asleep to aa nightmare.
I woke up a few hours later, at the break of dawn and my first thought was "Well, I'll spend today trying to make it up to her." I thought as I looked up, and around at the empty sleeping bag on the other side of the tent. The girls had apparently all gotten up and outside. I rummaged through my bag, and grabbed the pokeballs that belonged to the girls, intending to recall Flower so that we could deal with the problems, but I grabbed them all, for some reason. I walked out and saw a fire going, and the three girls sitting around it. I made eye contact with Jess, and she immediately looked away. She stood up, and that's when I heard a loud click. I instinctually grabbed the pokeball for Flower, and called her back in case there was danger.
Someone stepped out from behind a tree, and he was holding a what looked like a .308 revolver, and it was pointed straight at Jess. He was a shorter man, wearing a baseball cap, dark blue jeans, and a solid pair of work boots. He had a tshirt on for a band that I had never heard of before. He spoke in a high pitched voice.
"Now, I have one request. Your money. I know you're rich as fuck, and are one hell of a fighter. But, to discourage that, look to your right." the strange man said and I looked to my right, and I was greeted by the sight of a man with an assault rifle standing there. I stared him in the eye, and then I looked back at the man pointing his gun right at Jessica. He had moved forward and had his gun pointed right at her chest at point blank range.
"Don't bother using psychic. We're brothers, and our mother was a Zoroark, we're immune to your fuckery. Hand your shit over or you get shot." He said and I stood there, unarmed, and between a rock and a hard place.
"There's no way that I can get out of this without someone getting hurt, I'd like for that someone to be me instead of anyone else, but with a gun at her chest, there was no winning this." I thought, and admitted defeat. I looked at Jess, and she was standing there, looking terrified.
"Fine, you win." I said and he smiled.
"Good, now, get your wallet." He said and I took a deep breath. As I did that, Jess made a ballsy move and smacked the gun away from her chest. That made him instinctually pull the trigger, and unfortunately, by hitting it, the gun pointed at me. As the loud bang of the gun went off, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and I looked down to see the red stain spread across my chest. I felt my head fade out, and I became incredibly dizzy within seconds. My vision went black and I remember hitting the ground and blacking out.
I woke to the white room with Lady Arceus standing before me, and 2 people who I thought that I'd never see again. "Mom! Dad!" I screamed as I ran towards them and gave them a massive hug.
"Hello Jake. This meeting is less for us, and more for her. But, I do want to say, your mother and I are so proud of you. For everything. And I approve of your relation with you pokemon. I wouldn't have expected you to be with them, but I support it." said Mom, and dad smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Now, Jake. as they said, this meeting is for me, and you. You'll get to speak with them again, I promise you. But for now, we'll be alone." She said and I turned back to my parents, as they grew dim, and faded into nothing leaving me and Lady Arceus alone.
"I have a large decision for you to make. I am pleased with your service, and you have taken down Marx. your work is complete and I believe that it would be a decent time for you to complete your service, and life my child. Should you decide to stay here, I'll let your body fade on the earth below us. You'll get to be with your parents again, in death. And the other option, return to Johto. You'll be reunited with your girls and can continue your journey. You'll retain your powers. Now, I'll give you the time to decide. I will be waiting for your answer." She said, and I felt my mind torn between the choices. I couldn't decide between my love and my family, could I?
A/N
Hello people. Sorry, I took ages to complete this chapter. I wrote this in smaller chunks over a few weeks, and I'm incredibly happy with how this chapter turned out. I want to say though, I hit 50 follows and I'm sitting at 45 favorites the last time I checked, that's huge! Thank you all so much for showing my story some support, I love all of you and you've made this all possible. So, I wrote a chapter much longer than I ever have on this story. So, I have to say thanks again. Leave a review and tell me what you think of the story, whether it be praise or criticism, good or bad, or anything else. And one more thing, I'm looking for someone who would be willing to be a backup editor for me. Just there in case my normal editor isn't able to for some reason. Anyways, thank you all so much for reading, I'm Lamosamo67, Out!
