Articock dropped Kyle and Luther off in Viridian City before heading back and getting Marcy and Conner to take them to Cinnabar. Marcy gave him a kiss and recalled him to his ball so he could rest as she began her training.

She looked around the town first to try and find the best place for her training, eventually deciding on heading towards the rocky area beneath the mountains as opposed to the beach or burned mansion, as they were less likely to disturb or be disturbed by others there.

She had Colin meditate close to a series of rocks heated by hot lava within the mountains, as it would help him increase the power of his fire type attacks, and she planned on making sure they were all as strong as possible before he evolved.

Marcy had James meditate as well, as his magic typing would latch on to the fire element and allow him to power up his magic bullets with a fire element. Not to mention it would help him build up resistance against fire type attacks, which he desperately needed, being part steel type.

She had Richard practice his Command Plants and bow and arrow accuracy at the edge of the rocky area where plants were growing. His bow and magic might be useful, but he wouldn't be able to rely on them alone forever.

She had Kest work on physical power. He was already fast, but he needed to be good at more than just hit and run tactics. She had him use his talons and wings to strike the large hot boulders and try to crack them.

She had Rook doing general training. He was already skilled with his sword, but would need to be able to put more power behind it. He was a primary evolution, that would have to change. She had him running up and down the hills made in the rocky terrain, lifting some of the large rocks, and slashing at the larger boulder with his sword.

Gabriel didn't need much training when it came to his primary purpose as a sex battler, so Marcy instead had him practice his absorbing. She laid out several objects in front of him, a stone, a hot ember, a leaf, a cup of water, etc, and told him to practice absorbing them and taking on his different possible slime states. He was to practice his attacks in each of them and get used to how they felt.

Conner wasn't much of a battler at all, so after his buko went through a normal daily work-out, he went out to explore the mountains, Articock going with so he could see them as well, as he hadn't actually seen them in many, many years.

After lunch, Marcy had her buko start sparring with each other. The pairing would be random, and she would occasionally add on strange rules, such as having Rook fight without his sword, telling Kest to fight without entering the air, or giving weights to Colin as he battled. Her buko didn't quite understand it, but Marcy insisted that there was a method to her seeming madness.

After sparring, Conner and Articock had returned. They both looked a little worse for wear, and Marcy asked if they had gotten into a battle of some kind. Articock shook his head, "Just an encounter with an old friend of mine." He said, which confused Marcy even more.

Conner promised to tell her about it later, and for the time being, she turned to the rest of her buko's sex battle training. Marcy saw it as nearly impossible for Gabriel to at any point lose a sex battle, but in the event that it did happen, she wanted all her other buko to be ready for it.

Her method of training them for this was a simple one. Step one: coat them all in climax dust, the light green powder that prevents them from cumming under any circumstances. Step twp: expose them all to various kinds of sex that they could experience during a sex battle.

She had them switch between being submissive and being dominant, put them on both sides of a BDSM sex battle, which was helped by Conner's buko, and finally just doused them all in lust dust and had them form a large orgy. The only exception to this was Rook, who wouldn't even under the most dire of circumstances be able to participate in sex battles do to his breed's inability to be attracted to other buko or human males, and so Rook was permitted to continue training his sword skills during this time.

She presented them with a rule at the beginning of this: the first buko to give up and ask for the solution to remove the climax dust would be the last to cum, and the last to give in would not only be the first, but would get an extra reward that she kept secret throughout the whole ordeal.

In the end, Richard was the first to give in. He lasted much longer than Marcy had expected though, not making a peep until the final orgy, and begging Marcy for the climax dust solution after a good ten minutes of James riding him.

It was Kest who lasted longer than any other, though was a close call between him and Gabriel. When all was said and done, Marcy gave Kest the solution first, allowing him to cum inside of Gabriel, who got the solution next, followed by Colin, James, and Richard. Marcy then told Kest what he had won: A full day in charge of the harem. It would be as though he were the master of them, and they would have to obey his every order.

"You'll get to use it the day after we battle the Cinnabar gym." She said. "The Cinnabar gym?" Kest asked, "I thought we already had all the badges we need." "We do," Marcy explained, "But that's no reason to stop challenging ourselves is it? We've got to keep getting stronger and testing ourselves. We'll be challenging the Cinnabar gym tomorrow, and the day after that, you get to spend the whole day in charge. Sound good?"

Kest nodded, grinning eagerly. "Train hard," Marcy said to her other buko, "And you all might earn a day as Master to~" She told them with a wink, all of them immediately getting excited, in more ways than one.
