What's up everyone, it's me again! Sorry for the wait, been a bit busy combined with working on another project. Lemon warning by the way. Not much else to say, so we can jump right in.
(The Next Day)
Andrew's eyes fluttered open as he felt the sun bombard him. Looking to his left he saw Fennel, her head on his chest, peacefully sleeping, a smile on her face. She looked stunning in the morning light and he could stare at her for days on end.
After laying in bed and stroking her hair for a few minutes the scientist began to stir. A smile spread across her face as she locked eyes with the Sinnoh native. "Hey," she whispered as she kissed her love. "Good morning beautiful," responded Andrew, earning a blush from Fennel. "Yesterday was amazing," she sighed happily, "I'm so happy I was able to tell you my feelings." "I am too Fennel, you caught my eye the moment I saw you."
For a few minutes the two laid there and cuddled, Fennel felt so warm and safe, she never wanted to leave this spot. But they had to get up eventually and after showering the two made their way to the others. "Good morning sweetie," the girls chorused as one by one they gave the Sinnoh native a kiss on the cheek.
Once they ate, the group packed their things and made their way to the Striaton Gym.
(20 minutes later)
As Andrew opened the door a man with green hair and a waiter costume appeared. "Welcome to Striaton Diner, how may we help you?"
"Well hey there Cilan, one Gym Battle please," said the blonde, causing the entire restaurant to look excitedly at the newcomer.
"I thought you looked familiar, it's good to see you again Andrew," said Cilan as the two males shook hands, "You were quite the customer last time you were here, a blend of tactics and strength not dissimilar to Ash, yet unique enough to provide a distinct flavor."
"I'll take that as a compliment Cilan," deadpanned the blonde, earning a laugh from the older male. "Well Mr. Townsend, shall we get to it?"
"You bet Cilan, lead the way."
(5 minutes later)
Andrew stood on the battlefield opposite of the Striaton triplets, his group in the stands cheering him on.
"So what will it be Andrew?" asked Cress, "All at once or one-on-one."
"All at once, I want a challenge," grinned the blonde. "And a challenge you will get," retorted Chili as the three triplets called out their Pokemon. The three monkeys waved to Andrew, recognizing him, especially Simisage. "Hey you three, good to see ya too!"
"Alright you three, the battlefield calls your names!" yelled Andrew as he released Zangoose, Mothim, and Escavalier. "You must be pretty confident bringing an Escavalier to face me," grinned Chili. "If you can hit him," grinned Andrew.
"Alright guys, let's go! Mothim use Energy Ball on Simipour. Escavalier use Fell Stinger on Simisage. Zangoose keep Simisear occupied, don't let him near the others." With a nod all three Pokemon took off to engage their targets
"Simisear use Flamethrower on Escavalier!" yelled Chili, "Simipour dodge and retaliate with Ice Beam on Mothim!" yelled Cress. "Simisage keep Zangoose busy with Iron Tail!" ordered Cilan.
Explosions erupted all along the battlefield as the six Pokemon clashed. As Zangoose swung a Shadow Claw at Simisear, his was blocked by an Iron Tail from Simisage. The irritated mongoose then swung at Simisage, slashing the green monkey with Crush Claw. Simipour dodged the green ball of energy fired from Mothim and fired a beam of ice at the bug, who quickly dodged it.
Escavalier however, was running free. Simisear had been prevented from using Flamethrower by Simisage's intervention and didn't want to risk friendly fire, meaning Escavalier had no one to face. Seeing this, Andrew seized the opportunity, "Escavalier get behind them and use Drill Run on Simisear! He's the priority!" The blonde quickly identified the red monkey as his primary threat, since Mothim and Escavalier could be taken out fairly quickly by Simisear if he wasn't careful.
Escavalier swung around and charged Simisear. "Simisear look out!" yelled Chili. Before Simisear had a chance to turn around however, he was sent flying as the Cavalry Pokemon slammed into him from behind for heavy damage. The fire type stood up panting, but he could still fight.
"Simisear use Fire Blast!" ordered Chili. "Simipour use Scald on Mothim!" yelled Cress. "Simisage use Focus Punch on Zangoose!" said Cilan. "Mothim use Confusion on Scald and redirect it to Simisear! Escavalier dodge and use Smart Strike on Simisage!" "Zangoose dodge that Focus Punch and use Thunderbolt on Simipour!" ordered Andrew.
Mothim's eyes suddenly glowed blue, and the water that shot from Simipour's mouth was suddenly encased in a blue aura and bent towards Simisear. Zangoose saw his chance and fired a bolt of lightning at the jet of water, electrifying it and sending hundreds of volts coursing through Simipour. Escavalier veered hard to the right, narrowly dodging the jet of fire shot from Simisear and glowed silver before rocketing towards Simisage, his lances glistening in the light.
Simipour cried out in pain as he felt the electricity course through his body, while Simisear was hit with electrified water, knocking him out. Simisage tried to dodge the charging Escavalier, but to no avail.
"Simisear is unable to battle." Cilan and Cress had their backs to the wall, Chili, their best bet against the team Andrew had brought, was down for the count, and both of their Pokemon had taken heavy damage from those last attacks. However, they refused to give up so easily.
"Alright Simipour, use Surf!" "Simisage swing!" As Simipour summoned a massive wave, Simisage jumped high into the air and began swinging from the rafters. "Mothim fly and await my commands! Zangoose throw Escavalier over the wave and then use Dig to dodge! Escavalier once you get over use Signal Beam on Simisage!"
Mothim nodded and took off in hot pursuit of Simisage, while Zangoose picked up Escavalier and, with every ounce of strength he had, hurled Escavalier as high as he could over the oncoming wave and quickly dug a hole, covering it up just before the wave hit him. The audience watched as the now airborne Escavalier aimed his lances at Simisage and began firing rainbow-colored beams at the green monkey. Mothim quickly flew over Surf and patiently awaited his next orders. As the wave died down Zangoose appeared from the ground and awaited further instructions from his trainer.
"Mothim knock Simisage down with Silver Wind then use Lunge! Zangoose wrap things up with Simipour and use Crush Claw! Escavalier cover Zangoose!"
"Simisage look out!" yelled Cilan as a barrage of silver blades streaked towards him, sending him crashing into the ground. Seconds later the shiny moth rammed into him at full speed, sending a cloud of dust billowing out. Meanwhile Zangoose and Escavalier hurtled towards the recovering Simipour, who was quickly slashed across the chest by Zangoose's signature move and crashed into the ground unconscious. As the dust settled it was revealed that Simisage was also out of commission.
"Simipour and Simisage are both unable to battle! The winner of this battle is Andrew Townsend!"
Seconds later a cheer broke out across the audience as Andrew returned his crew, thanking them, and walked up to the triplets.
"Well Andrew that was quite the battle" remarked Cress. "I agree," said Cilan, "a flavorful blend of teamwork and power I haven't tasted in a long time." "That was fun, Andrew you have got to come back sometime," said Chili.
"Thanks you three, you weren't so bad yourself. Now that battle has left me with quite an appetite, what kind of dishes would you recommend?" said Andrew as he grinned.
"Right this way sir," grinned Cilan as he led Andrew and the gang to their tables.
(1 hour later)
"Arceus that was some of the best food I've had in a while," said Lucas as they walked out of the restaurant. "You said it," said Andrew, "no wonder Ash spoke so highly of Cilan, that guy can cook!" The girls simply giggled, "Well I know the way to Andrew's heart," giggled Dawn, "his stomach." "Well that's one way" retorted the blonde. As he was walking he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. "That was so cool Andrew!" squealed Fennel, "It was so fun to see you battle like that!" "Glad you liked it Fennel," said the Sinnoh native as he kissed her forehead.
"So Andrew, where to next?" asked Barry. "Y'know, I completely forgot there was a gym in Aspertia City, so maybe we could go there?" "No complaints from me," said Lucas, "Say Rosa, isn't your friend Cheren running the show over there?" "I think so, it would be nice to see him again."
"So it's settled, we'll head back to Aspertia."
(3 hours later)
As Andrew and the gang were walking down a heavily forested path they suddenly felt the earth shake. It sounded like something large was headed their way. The guys quickly called out their starters and got ready to fight. Suddenly Regigigas popped out of his Cherish Ball. "What's going on Regigigas?" asked Andrew worriedly as he heard a tree being felled.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Registeel and Regirock stomp out of the forest, stopping and bowing when they neared Regigigas. After a series of beeps came from the two golems, Regigigas turned to Andrew and made several noises. "What's he saying Andrew?" asked Leaf. Once Regigigas finished Andrew turned to the group, "He said that Registeel and Regirock wish to join us to free Regice. You two must have traveled far to reach us." The two golems nodded as Andrew pulled out two Cherish Balls. Fennel's eyes widened as she watched the two massive Pokemon be sucked into the strange red Pokeballs, clicking seconds later indicating a capture. "D-Did he j-just capture two Legendaries without a fight?" "You get used to it," said Roxanne as Regigigas returned to his ball.
"Well that's settled, let's continue," said Andrew as he led the group to Aspertia City.
(4 days later)
Andrew and the gang had settled into the Pokemon Center for the night after visiting Rosa's parents again. Andrew was watching television in his room, Fennel snuggled up next to him. As commercials came on he kissed her forehead, "I love you Fennel," he whipered, "more than you'll ever know." "I love you too Andrew," said Fennel, "I love you so much." With a smile he gently crushed his lips against her's. Fennel let out a pleasured moan into the kiss, she was so happy; she was with the love of her life expressing her love with him and she was in absolute bliss.
As they broke apart, Fennel spoke up. "H-Hey Andrew, c-can I ask you something?"
"Sure thing Fennel, is there something wrong?" "No, no, nothing is wrong. It's just that, well, how much do you love me?"
"Fennel, what are you talking about?" asked a confused Andrew. "Well part of me just can't believe this is happening. Part of me says you don't truly love me since you took so long to come to me and had so many girls with you when you came the other day," she said, tears falling out of her eyes at the thought of Andrew not truly loving her. She was cut off from her thoughts when she felt Andrew kiss her lovingly.
"Fennel," he said softly, "Don't you ever think that again; it breaks my heart to know you think that. I am so sorry I didn't visit you sooner. Fennel, I love you, I would do anything for you. I want us to have a future together; you, me, and the others all as one big family. What's there not for me to love about you? You're smart, talented, caring, beautiful, the list could go on. I am madly, deeply, hopelessly in love with you and the other girls Fennel, and that will never change."
Fennel was moved to tears by Andrew's statement; she looked into his eyes and saw he was being honest. She lunged into his arms, sobbing heavily. "I'm so sorry!" she cried repeatedly, drenching Andrew's shirt in her tears. "It's okay Fennel, it's okay," soothed Andrew as he rubbed her back. After a few minutes her sobbing had slowed to small whimpers.
After Fennel had calmed down she spoke up, "C-Can you d-do something for m-me?" "Anything my flower, just name it." "S-Show me..." "Show you what?" asked a confused Andrew.
"S-Show me how much you love me. I w-want you to make love to me."
"Fennel, are you sure this is what you want?" "It is, I can't fully believe you truly love me until this happens." "Fennel, we could never do this and I would still love you with all of my heart," said Andrew, making sure she truly wanted this and not out of fear he didn't love her, "So I will ask you again: Is this really what you want?"
Fennel had to think for a minute, and she always came to the same answer. "Yes," she said, "I do want this, I want to show you how much I love you."
Lemon begin
Seconds later Andrew enveloped her into a passionate but gentle kiss. Turning off the television, leaving only the moonlight to illuminate the room, he began to gently caress Fennel's body. She was surprisingly curvy, her labcoat hid them so well. A minute later Andrew broke the kiss and began kissing up and down her neck and jawline, earning pleasured gasps from the scientist.
"How was that?" he asked as he nibbled her earlobe. Fennel was breathing heavily, her face a deep shade of red. "Amazing," she breathed out. Moving to the next phase Andrew removed his shirt, causing Fennel to blush furiously as she gazed at her boyfriend's athletic body, the years of travel had been good to him. She couldn't resist reaching out and touching his chest, letting out a soft moan as she felt his rock-hard muscles. While she was admiring his body, he took off her purple nightgown to reveal her navy blue undergarments. "I was wrong," he breathed. "W-what" she asked nervously, worried he would reject her. "I thought you could not be any more beautiful, but seeing you now, I realize I was so, so wrong."
Fennel blushed heavily, "Y-You think that?" "Fennel, the word beautiful does not do you justice, you are a goddess, you're perfect." Fennel was moved to tears, "T-Thank y-you, no one's ever said such wonderful things about me." Andrew simply smiled, "I say it because it's true, there are no words that can truly describe your beauty."
As he ran his hands up and down her sides, she reached behind her and unclipped her top. She looked at her love nervously as she let it fall, freeing her C-Cup breasts, "Does he like them? Are they too small?" She was cut off from her thoughts by a single word, "Perfect." "W-What?" "I said they're perfect Fennel, everything about you is perfect," said the blonde softly as he kissed her gently. "Y-You c-can touch them i-if you want," she said nervously.
Andrew nodded and reached up, causing Fennel to gasp as he gently grabbed her breasts and began to knead them, enjoying how soft and squishy they felt. She let out a low moan as he placed one of her nipples firmly between his teeth and slowly bit down, pinching the other one with his fingers and using his other hand to caress her body. Every so often he would alternate between the two pink nubs, and by the time he came up for air, Fennel was squirming as she felt pleasure coursing through her.
"I take it you liked that?" he smirked as Fennel slowly nodded, panting and red-faced. "Well hold onto something my flower, because I'm about to blow you away," he whispered as he hooked her panties and pulled them down to reveal her soaked womanhood. Fennel let out a loud squeal as she felt his warm tongue trace along her outer folds. "N-No!" she whimpered as she felt intense jolts of pleasure emanate from her lower region. Her eyes bulged and she squealed again as she felt his tongue wiggle its way into her, rubbing against her inner walls. "I-I'm gonna go crazy!" she cried as she felt a pressure welling up inside her.
Less than a minute later, Fennel let out a shriek as she exploded, drenching Andrew's mouth in her juices as he happily drank them. Fennel shivered as she felt him lick around her slit, lapping up any juices he missed.
As he crept up to Fennel's face, he saw she was panting heavily and had a far off gaze. Happy with his work, he simply tended to her breasts as she regained her hold on reality. "Andrew," she croaked, "That was incredible." "Glad you liked it," he smirked as he kissed her.
Once Fennel had caught her breath she turned her head to her lover. "Andrew, I'm ready," she whispered. "Are you sure?" he asked. "I've been ready my love." Her eyes bulged as he took off his boxers to let his member free.
"Arceus he's huge. Will that even fit inside of me? That has to be at least 9 inches long" thought Fennel as she began to feel very nervous. "Are you alright Fennel?" asked the blonde, seeing a worried look in her eye. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little intimidated, that's all." "Don't you worry about a thing Fennel," he whispered as he kissed her lovingly, "I would never try to hurt you and I will be as gentle as I can be. I love you."
"Then," she said as she spread her legs, "come here. Don't worry, I'm protected." She let out a gasp as she felt his head slowly spread apart her petals and push inwards. "So big" she moaned as she began to feel a fullness she found wonderful. Soon he reached her barrier and looked at her. "I'm ready Andrew," she said as she kissed him, "Take me." With a nod he pulled out slightly and thrust back in, breaking through her barrier.
Fennel let out a gasp as she felt her hymen break and pain coursed through her. Tears welled up in her eyes, only to be kissed away by her blonde lover.
After a minute Fennel felt the pain subside and rolled her hips to test the waters. To her delight she felt only pleasure. "Y-You can move now," she said.
With a nod, Andrew began to slowly move in and out like a piston. As he built up a tempo, Fennel began letting out moans as she felt nothing but absolute pleasure begin to envelop her mind, but she wanted more, "Faster!" she moaned. Smirking, Andrew picked up the pace until he was pounding away at her core, the scientist's pleasured moans like music to his ears that only spurred him on even more.
"N-NO!" she shrieked as she felt Andrew envelop her breasts with his mouth, "I'll go crazy!" "I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND!" she screamed as she felt her hold on reality fail her and she began seeing stars as her mind was bombarded with pleasure.
Less than a minute later, Fennel went to let loose an almighty scream as she felt a powerful climax wash over her, but was muffled by a kiss from Andrew, who wasn't keen on waking up the entire Center. The feeling of her velvet-soft walls squeezing down on his shaft was too much, and he unloaded deep within the scientist.
Lemon End
As Andrew rolled off of Fennel, she used what strength she still had to snuggle up to him. "I... I love you," she panted. "I love you too Fennel, more than you'll ever know. Now let's get some sleep," said the blonde as he gripped her tightly and let sleep claim him.
(The next day)
Andrew woke up to see a pair of dark blue eyes staring at him. He smiled as his eyes fully opened to see Fennel smiling back at him. "Good morning sweetie," she chirped as she pecked him on the lips. "Good morning my flower," said Andrew, smiling warmly. "Thank you for last night," sighed Fennel, "It was amazing." "Glad you're happy," said the blonde as he stroked her long hair.
After they showered they walked out to meet the others. "Oh for fuck's sake," muttered Andrew as everyone looked at him with knowing grins. "What is it?" asked Fennel, who was trailing behind him. "They heard us," Andrew simply said. It took Fennel a second to realize what he was talking about but when it clicked she blushed furiously before being dragged off by the girls.
(1 hour later)
Andrew and the gang entered the doors of the Aspertia Gym to find a boy Andrew's age teaching a group of young trainers.
"Rosa is that you?" asked the boy as he spotted the brunette. "Hey Cheren!" she said as she hugged him, "It's so good to see you again!"
"It's good to see you too Rosa, but what are you doing here? You went off the map for a while."
With a blush on her face Rosa grabbed Andrew's arm and kissed his cheek, "I've been traveling with my boyfriend." A smile graced Cheren's lips, "Well that's great, although you know Nate likes you."
"Yeah, I know, we were actually here a while ago and he found out. Don't worry, we sorted it out and we're still friends."
As if on cue Nate walked in, "Well hey there Rosa, what are you doing back here?"
"I kinda forgot there was a gym here," said Andrew sheepishly. "Jeez, for a Champion you're one Zubat short of a belfry," joked Nate. Cheren's eyes widened, as did the students', "W-Wait, you're a Champion?"
"That's right," said Rosa, "Cheren, meet Andrew Townsend, my boyfriend." "Pleasure to finally meet you Cheren, Rosa's told me about you," said Andrew as he stuck out his hand.
"N-Nice to meet you too," said Cheren, still a little dumbstruck that his childhood friend was dating a Champion. "So, what's with the... wait a second is that Cynthia!?" The students looked in awe as they spotted the former Sinnoh Champion, "W-What are y-you doing here Ms. Shirona?"
With a giggle she hugged Andrew from behind and rested her head on his shoulders, "Same as Rosa, traveling with my boyfriend," she said as she kissed her lover's cheek. Everyone not in the group was shocked, even more so when twelve other girls crowded around the blonde, "We are too," said Leaf, "We all share him," added Candice.
Cheren was dumbfounded, this guy was dating fourteen women all at once, including his childhood friend, Elesa, Cynthia, and Roxie, and they were all fine with it. "Yeah I thought it was crazy too," said Nate, "But once I saw how happy Rosa was, I came to accept it. I'm fine with just being her friend as long as she's happy."
"So Cheren," said Andrew as the girls let go, "I didn't face this gym last time I went through Unova, so I want to see what you can do. Show me what you got," he grinned as he unclipped a Pokeball.
Cheren snapped out of his stupor and grinned, "Oh it's on! You may be a Champion but I believe in my Pokemon!"
"This six on six battle between Cheren and Andrew Townsend will now commence!
"Stoutland let's go!" "Luxray bring the thunder!" Though Stoutland growled at Luxray, he stepped back as the electric type snarled angrily at him.
"Incredible, Luxray doesn't even seemed fazed," said Cheren, seeing that Stoutland's Intimidate Ability didn't kick in. "Luxray here is one of my most hardened veterans, he's faced down stuff a lot scarier than Stoutland."
"Well no matter. Stoutland use Take Down!" "Luxray use Night Slash!" As the two charged each other, Luxray swiftly dodged Stoutland and slashed at him with razor-sharp claws, Stoutland yelping in pain as the claws buried deep into his skin.
"Stoutland use Mud Slap!" Stoutland quickly turned around and used his paws to fling a blob of mud that hit Luxray in the eyes, the lion roaring in pain as the dirt got into his eyes. "Now use Ice Fang!" The attack connected and Luxray roared even louder as Stoutland's teeth dug into him.
"Luxray shake him off and use Turbine to force him away." Luxray quickly curled into a ball and began spinning rapidly. Stoutland yelped as electricity arced off the spinning Electric type and reached him. "Stoutland get out of there!" yelled Cheren. But as Stoutland went to move, he found that he couldn't; he was paralyzed. "Luxray stop!" ordered Andrew; the lion complied and glared furiously at the stricken Stoutland. "Now use Wild Charge!" Luxray grinned malevolently at Stoutland and ran full tilt at the stricken dog, his fur crackling with electricity.
Electricity went everywhere as Luxray slammed into Stoutland and knocked him out, the lion proceeding to let out a roar of triumph. "Stoutland is unable to battle." "Great job Luxray, you did well," praised Andrew as he scratched Luxray's head, the electric type letting out an audible purr as he drank in the praise from his trainer.
"That's a strong Luxray you have there Andrew, but you'll need more than one good Pokemon to take me down! Lickilicky let's go!" yelled Cheren as the portly pink Pokemon popped out, his tongue lolling out.
"Armaldo front and center!" yelled Andrew as his faithful bug type appeared, clicking his claws together.
"Lickilicky let's start with Flamethrower!" The pink Pokemon nodded and opened his mouth to unleash a torrent of flames. "Armaldo stop it with Water Gun!" The bug type nodded and fired a jet of water, a cloud of steam arising from where the two attacks met. Seeing this was going nowhere Cheren ordered his next attack, "Lickilicky use Body Slam!" "Counter with X-Scissor!" Lickilicky hurled himself at Armaldo while the rock type crossed his claws and slashed in an X pattern. Lickilicky was flung back as the X-Scissor eventually won out, and Andrew spotted an opportunity. "Now Armaldo use Flash Cannon!" Armaldo nodded and opened his mouth and fired a ball of silver energy at Lickilicky. "Lickilicky use Gyro Ball!" The pink Pokemon nodded and began spinning rapidly, and explosion occurring as the two attacks met. To Andrew's surprise Lickilicky appeared out of the cloud and crashed into Armaldo for good damage.
"Armaldo's getting tired," thought Andrew as he saw the blue Pokemon pant, "Gotta wrap this up and fast!"
"Armaldo use Bulldoze!" The large blue Pokemon nodded and stomped his foot to send a pillar of rock erupting under Lickilicky, sending the portly Pokemon skyward. "As he comes down use Aqua Tail!" yelled Andrew as Lickilicky reached his apex. As the pink Pokemon neared the ground, Armaldo swung his water-coated tail, catapulting his opponent into a wall, unconscious.
"Lickilicky is unable to battle." Armaldo was panting heavily, but he was happy, he really enjoyed that fight.
"Well Andrew you've proven your strength so far, but let's see how well you do against the remaining four. Snorlax you're up!" "Floatzel battle calls!"
"Snorlax use Thunderbolt!" "Floatzel dodge and use Brick Break!" The weasel easily dodged the bolt of electricity and swung his fist at Snorlax, but it bounced off of Snorlax's prodigious stomach and came back to clock him right in the face. "You alright buddy?" asked Andrew as he suppressed a laugh, though others weren't doing as well. Floatzel nodded at his trainer and hissed angrily at Snorlax, his pride had been hurt and Snorlax was going to pay.
"Alright Floatzel let's get some payback for that and use Hydro Pump!" "Snorlax use Giga Impact!" Snorlax got up and dodged the jet of water and began charging at the weasel. "Floatzel stop and use Aqua Tail! Aim for the stomach!" yelled Andrew. Floatzel grinned and transferred the water energy to his tail. Planting his feet firmly into the ground, he swung his tail as hard as he could into Snorlax's stomach. A whistling sound could be heard as Snorlax was sent sailing through the sky, followed by a loud boom as he crashed into the ground. "Snorlax use Rest! said Cheren, causing the massive Pokemon to close his eyes and snore audibly. "Alright Floatzel," said Andrew, "be on guard, this guy's probably got Sleep Talk, so keep your distance."
"Dammit, how'd he figure me out so quickly?" thought Cheren, "He really is a competent Trainer."
"Floatzel use Focus Blast!" yelled Andrew as he pointed at the sleeping Snorlax. "Sleep Talk now!" shouted Cheren frantically. To his good fortune the attack that came from Snorlax was a bolt of electricity, Thunder.
Floatzel's eyes widened as the bolt of lightning raced towards him. Cancelling his attack he jumped out of the way, narrowly dodging it. He grit his teeth in frustration as he watched Snorlax wake up, his injuries healed. "Stay calm buddy," said Andrew, "We can do this." Taking a deep breath the weasel felt himself relax and flashed a grin of appreciation at his master, who gladly returned it.
"Alright Snorlax use Wild Charge!" "Floatzel use Toxic on the ground!" Floatzel nodded and fired a wad of purplish goo at the ground in front of Snorlax, who promptly slipped on it and was sent flying into a wall. "Now Floatzel, use Focus Blast!" The weasel grinned and opened his mouth to fire a beam of white energy, which slammed into Snorlax and knocked him out.
"Snorlax is unable to battle." "Well Cheren, you certainly gave Floatzel hell," said Andrew as the weasel nodded in agreement. "Glad I'm providing such resistance. Watchog seek them out!"
"Flareon let's crank up the heat!" yelled Andrew as his faithful fire type jumped down ready for battle.
"Flareon let's kick this off with Fire Fang!" The little fox nodded and with blistering speed raced over to the lanky Pokemon and bit down, the normal type yelping as a searing pain emanated from his arm where Flareon bit him with searing hot teeth.
"Watchog use Zen Headbutt to shake him off!" Flareon yelped as the two Pokemons' heads collided with each other and let go, retreating back to his master.
"Watchog use Gunk Shot!" "You know what to do buddy," said Andrew as Watchog fired a large wad of sludge. Flareon grinned and fired a small fireball, which ignited the ball of sludge. Just as it was about to hit Flareon, he jumped up and hit it with an Iron Tail, sending it hurtling back to Watchog. "Watchog look out!" yelled Cheren, but it was too late. Watchog screeched in pain as he was enveloped in searing flames, made more intense by the ball of sludge coating him.
"C'mon Watchog, I believe in you! Use Rain Dance!" Spurred on by Cheren's words, Watchog pushed through the pain and summoned a rain cloud that put out the fire and washed the gunk off of him, though he was wheezing from taking such damage.
Weighing his options, Cheren sighed, "I forfeit Watchog, he's too injured to fight." "Cheren has forfeited Watchog."
Flareon jumped into Andrew's arms and began licking his master, letting out a loud purr as the boy began stroking his warm fur. "I love you too buddy, I love you too," he said as the little fire type nuzzled his cheeks, everyone smiling at the tender moment between Pokemon and trainer.
"Well Andrew that was a clever move you pulled off," remarked Cheren. "Wasn't the first time I did that," grinned Andrew, "Just ask Roxie. Took out her Garbodor in two attacks."
"Well looks like I have to step up my game then. Zangoose let's go!" yelled Cheren. "Zangoose let's make some noise!" yelled Andrew as his shiny Normal type appeared, grinning as he spotted his opponent.
"Zangoose use Close Combat!" yelled Cheren. "Respond with Fury Cutter!" commanded Andrew. As the two Normal types clashed, they were a flurry of swipes, punches, and kicks that continued for around a minute before they retreated, both lightly bruised.
"Zangoose use Rock Slide," said Cheren as his Normal type summoned a barrage of rocks and hurled them at her opponent. "Dodge and use Crush Claw!" The audience watched in awe as the shiny Zangoose weaved in and out of the oncoming rocks seemingly effortlessly, eventually reaching his target and leaving a nasty scratch mark across her face.
"I have to be quick, Zangoose isn't going to last much longer" thought Cheren. "Zangoose use Thunderbolt!" yelled Cheren. "Fire Blast!" roared Andrew. While Cheren's Zangoose unleashed a large bolt of lightning, Andrew's breathed in a let loose a swirling torrent of flames. The two attacks hit their marks, although Andrew's Zangoose hung on and when the smoke cleared, Cheren's Zangoose was on the ground with swirls in her eyes.
"Cheren's Zangoose is unable to battle." "Good job Zangoose, excellent work," said Andrew as he scratched the shiny Pokemon's head.
"Well Andrew, you've forced me to my final Pokemon. You've proven a powerful opponent. Now let's see how you stack up against this guy. Bouffalant lead the charge!" As the buffalo appeared he snorted and pawed the ground, ready to fight.
"Oh I think I'll stack up just fine. Torterra primo victoria!" roared Andrew as his faithful starter appeared. The audience and Cheren gazed at Torterra in awe, he was dripping with power. "Say hello to my starter Cheren, he's been with me since the beginning. We've faced everything the world has thrown at us together and I couldn't have asked for a better starter." Torterra smiled and began nudging his head against his beloved trainer's chest, sighing happily as Andrew rubbed his head.
"Well Andrew, let's end this. Bouffalant use Head Charge!" With a snort the Normal type lowered his horns and charged the tortoise. "Let's show him a real charge. Iron Head full steam ahead!" yelled Andrew. Torterra nodded and charged full speed at Bouffalant. As the two crashed into each other a massive dust cloud billowed out. As it cleared it became clear Torterra had won out as Bouffalant had taken much more damage, while Torterra barely looked injured.
"Surprised huh?" grinned Andrew, "Torterra's taken hits from Legendary Ice types, he's a tough Seedot to crack."
"Bouffalant use Aerial Ace!" Bouffalant glowed white before leaping high into the air and aimed at Torterra. "Stop him with Energy Ball!" But Bouffalant was too fast, and he crashed into Torterra with a loud thud before the tortoise could react.
"Torterra end this with Rock Climb!" Andrew's starter let out a resounding roar and slammed his feet into the ground, causing a ramp to erupt from the ground underneath Bouffalant, sending the buffalo skyward. With blistering speed, Torterra raced up the ramp and jumped high into the air and slammed into Bouffalant, who crashed to the ground seconds later with a deafening boom, while Torterra's impact caused the very earth to shake.
When the smoke cleared Bouffalant was in a small crater unconscious, while Torterra was panting lightly.
"Bouffalant is unable to battle. Torterra and Andrew win!"
The crowd broke out into cheers and Andrew handed Torterra an Oran Berry, praising his starter for his efforts. "That was an intense battle Andrew, you've earned your title of Champion," said Cheren as he shook Andrew's hand. "Thanks Cheren, you weren't too bad yourself."
"And take care of Rosa for me, she's like the sister I never had." Rosa walked up to her blonde lover and kissed him lovingly, "Don't worry Cheren, he's been an amazing boyfriend." Andrew smiled and picked the brunette up and spun her around, earning a laugh from her. Once he set her down she jumped onto his back. Knowing what she wanted he wrapped his arms around her legs, the brunette sighing happily as she rested her head into the crook of his neck.
Cheren and Nate smiled, glad to see Rosa with someone who made her so happy. Once the group said their goodbyes, they set off to continue their journey. Seeing it was late, the group decided to spend the night in Aspertia. Andrew split off from the others to bring Rosa home, her parents smiled as they saw their daughter riding on Andrew's back, a massive smile on her face as she slept peacefully.
As he brought her into her room, he gently laid her onto the bed and changed into his sleepwear and crawled in, gripping the Unovan tightly in his embrace.
"Andrew," she mumbled, "I... love you... so much". "I love you too Rosa Whitley, more than you will ever know," he said softly as he gently stroked her hair, a single tear of joy trickling down her face.
"Goodnight my rose," he whispered before kissing her forehead and letting sleep claim him. Unknown to him, Rosa's parents had seen the whole thing. They couldn't help but smile as they saw the care and love in Andrew's eyes, it reminded them of when they were younger.
"We were right," said Braxton as they walked away from their daughter's room, "They're perfect for each other." Charlotte nodded, "I agree. He had the same look in his eyes that you did, he really does love her. He'll treat our daughter right."
Up in Rosa's room, the brunette smiled as she had a wonderful dream. She was dressed in white and Andrew stood on the other side of an altar, dressed in a tuxedo and giving her that bright smile of his that she loved so much. "Andrew, I love you so much," she said. Her eyes watered as she heard his voice, "I love you too Rosa Whitley, more than you'll ever know." Her heart soared when he lifted the veil and kissed her.
These days were great, but she knew in her heart that the greatest day of her life would be the day she could call herself Rosa Townsend.
For the rest of the night all was quiet in the Whitley household.
