As the sun rose again over Pewter and the early morning workers began slowly trickling from their homes out onto the streets, Green awoke. Still dressed in the same clothes from yesterday, she groggily slumped out of bed and into the small bathroom. Clumsily she stripped her wrinkled, worn clothes off and ran a shower. As she scrubbed both the dirt from her hair and the dried cum from her breasts, she felt herself waking up. The slow, rhythmic motions of scrubbing herself clean felt therapeutic to her. As well as the warm, steady stream of water soothing her tender groin and thighs. Once she was done Green stepped out of the shower beaming with Joy. The euphoria of both beating her first gym leader and losing her virginity making her giddy. Still drying her hair, she bent over and picked up her black jeans. She hadn't noticed until now but the events of yesterday had really worn them out. Smudges of mud and dirt from the arena stained the hardy black denim. With a frown, she poked her finger through the tear along the right leg.
"Damn, I liked these jeans." She muttered sadly.
However, her frown was soon wiped from her face as she went to unfasten the belt. As her eyes met with the shiny boulder badge, full of pride she couldn't help but smugly run her thumb over it. To her it was a sign, a sign that all her years of study were worth it. That she was already a truly great pokémon trainer. She clutched the belt firmly as she pulled it from the loops of the jeans, standing up tall she held it out in front of her and gripped it even tighter. Her hand tensing and a vein in her arm popping. In that moment she found herself overcome with anger, yet it didn't feel like hatred. It felt more like a burning fury. Before she had time to properly process this emotion her thumb nudged the button on Machop's pokéball and in a flash of red light he appeared before her. His little grey face burnt red as he stared up at Green's naked body. In a panic, Green pulled the towel wrapped around her hair and covered herself up with it.
"Oh! Sorry buddy, it was an accident!" She exclaimed in a fluster.
Machop after his initial shock spun around and stared at the wall before him, his eyes wide and his face still burning red. Awkwardly, Green tied up the towel to cover her body and shuffled out of the bathroom. Machop glanced over his shoulder and as he saw Green covered up he breathed a sigh of relief and followed her. He stretched his little arms out as he made his way past her and onto the bed, letting out a small yawn. Rubbing his eye, he sleepily watched as Green sorted through her clothes to pick a new outfit. With her clothes in hand, she peered over at Machop and thought for a second before nodding to herself. She stepped back into the bathroom and shut the door behind her as she got dressed. Machop waited patiently, swinging his feet back and forth through the air as he sat on the edge of the bed. After a couple minutes Green emerged wearing a light blue shirt tucked into a short red skirt as well as her usual hiking boots.
"Alright, you ready?" She asked Machop cheerily as she fastened her pokéball belt around her waist.
Machop nodded and leapt off the bed, grinning up at Green excitedly. Green giggled softly as she heaved her huge backpack over her shoulder and stared at Machop proudly. The memory of their battle still fresh in her mind. She crouched down before him and held out her fist to him.
"You did an amazing job yesterday buddy, at this rate I don't think anything can stop us!" She exclaimed excitedly.
Machop gave her a fist bump and proudly flexed his arms.
"Ma!" He cried out in agreement, beaming wildly at her.
Green smirked and stood back, she took one last look back at their room before opening the door and making her way down the hall with Machop following close behind. As she came out into the lobby they were met with the orange glow of the rising sun. Behind the counter, Nurse Joy was slumped back in her chair, groggily sipping a cup of coffee. Her usually braided hair was instead frizzled and messy, she sat only in a loose t shirt and pink shorts. Green smirked as the state she was in and approached the counter.
"Have fun last night?" She asked as Machop ran over to the big glass walls and basked in the warm sun.
Joy looked up at her with a sly smile as she put down her coffee, running her hand through her long pink hair.
"Oh yeah, that girl can eat pussy so fucking good!" She sighed out, biting her lip softly.
Green laughed and blushed a little, the image of Nurse Joy and Alex fucking refusing to leave her mind. Joy sat up and stretched out her arms above her head, yawning loudly before leaning forward on the counter with her head in her hands.
"So, you off to Cerulean now?" She asked curiously, sounding a bit more energetic.
Green nodded and leaned against the counter, trying not look down Joy's shirt as she did.
"Yup, Cerulean Gym is our next challenge but I have a good feeling about it." She responded excitedly, glancing back to see Machop sizing up to a Graveller outside through the window.
Joy raised her eye brow and smirked inquisitively.
"Well someone is certainly confident," she said slyly with a wide grin.
Green bit the inside of her mouth as she almost felt paralysed by Joy's gaze. She thought about trying to flirt with Joy but couldn't bring herself to do it. Joy laughed happily and sat back in her chair.
"God you're adorable, kinda jealous Brock got to you before I did." Joy laughed out with a shrug as she stood up.
Green's face was now bright red and her stomach in knots, a shy smile formed on her face as she awkwardly fidgeted with her fingers. Joy walked past her and picked up Machop, lifting him up in front of her as she walked back to Green, analysing him curiously.
"I saw the hit he took last night, just making sure he's healed properly." She muttered as she intensely focused on Machop, sitting him on the counter.
Mesmerized, Machop couldn't help but stare at Joy's breasts. Noticing that, Joy curiously examined the ridges on his head. After a moment she stopped and giggled happily.
"I thought so, looks like your Machop is getting close to evolving soon." She said turning back to Green.
This snapped Green back immediately and she excitedly looked down at Machop who was also beaming with excitement.
"Really? Already?" Green asked, a little shocked.
Joy nodded and folded her arms, giving Machop a smirk.
"Yeah looks like it, his ridges are almost 5 inches tall plus," she giggled again and slyly looked over at Green, "looks like he's reaching sexual maturity." She followed up with.
Green, a bit taken a back awkwardly rubbed the back of her head.
"Oh, how should I handle that?" She asked cautiously, glancing back down at Machop who was still staring at Joy.
Joy shrugged nonchalantly and turned to face her.
"Well, the Machop line act very simmilar to humans so he'll take care of it when he needs to but if he starts getting agitated all the time the pokémon centres have breeding programs where we can get him laid." Nurse Joy explained before poking Machop on the nose playfully.
Machop laughed happily and jumped off the counter, looking up at Green excitedly. She smiled back apprehensively as she patted his head. Joy noticed the look and placed her hand on Green's shoulder with a supportive smile.
"Don't worry, it's a normal part of owning a pokémon besides he won't become sexually active until he evolves. He's pretty much like a kid right now, evolution is like puberty for most pokémon." She said soothingly.
Green nodded and smiled back at her, she felt a little silly that she had never even thought about any of this when it came to pokémon. As she looked back to Joy she giggled softly, not really able to blame Machop for staring as she herself could barely keep her eyes at eye level.
"Thanks Joy, that makes sense." She said happily, sneaking one quick glance down Joy's loose shirt to see she wasn't wearing a bra.
Joy's smile turned to a lustful one as she took a step back.
"No problem sweetheart, whenever you're back in Pewter hit me up if you wanna have some fun." She offered sensually, looking Green up and down.
Green's heart raced and she nodded with a shy smile.
"O-Okay, I will." She stammered out, glancing down at Joy's thick thighs.
Joy laughed again and walked past Green, brushing up against her shoulder as she made her way back to her desk. Green turned to leave, her chest pounding hard. She looked back over her shoulder as the sliding doors opened to see Joy's eyes fixated on her ass. After a moment of consideration she left, although she desperately wanted to fuck Joy she needed all the daylight she could get for the journey to Cerulean.
As Green made her way to the northern gate of Pewter she found that the tight and winding streets became more and more open. The snaking cobbled streets were replaced by long and wide gravelled roads. Unlike the compact and close together houses back around Pewter's city center the houses further away were becoming more and more sparse. While the houses in Pewter city were small and compact the houses out here were large with huge yards often filled with sleeping Gravellers and Golems. It was almost beginning to feel like Pallet again. Unlike Pallet though, Pewter's northern outskirts were barren, made up of long stretches of gravelly plateaus with large boulders scattered about. Along the shelves of the mountains that surrounded Pewter Green could see large mining operations set up. Tall steel scaffolding clung to the sheer cliffs and billowing pillars of smoke rose into the air from the industrial furnaces. Surrounding her on the main paths were miners, groggily trudging along their heavy mining boots crunching the gravel below. As Green continued further and further they slowly trickled off the main paths to side paths leading to the mines. Eventually only her and some very chipper looking hikers were continuing towards Mt Moon. Which loomed over them, glowing as the rising sun bounced off it's high peaks. Green couldn't help but stare up in disbelief at it, she had never imagined anything could be so tall and it was only getting bigger the closer she got. Machop had a dead serious look on his face as he stared up at the mountain, clenching his fists and his jaw as he walked along side Green.
"Hey!" A voice called out to Green.
Green turned around with a fright, being lost in the quiet and calm of the place. Her face dropped into a sour expression as she saw Jackson sprinting up the path towards her, clutching his large safari hat to his head. She stopped and waited for him, placing her hands on her hips with a sigh. Jackson skidded to a halt in front of her and scowled at her.
"I heard you beat Brock." He grumbled, narrowing his eyes at her.
"I heard you didn't." She responded teasingly with a smug smirk.
Jackson shot his eyes down and kicked at the gravel awkwardly as he seemed to chose his next words carefully.
"Well I guess that means you aren't a newbie anymore," he began, surprising Green, "but you're still a second rate trainer! You might have more badges than me for now but I'll show you! I'll beat Brock and all the other gym leaders faster than you will!" He declared, puffing his chest out as he stood up tall.
Green couldn't help but smirk and laugh softly before nodding and approaching Jackson.
"Okay Jackson, good luck." She responded encouragingly, "when we meet in Cerulean let's have another battle." She said sweetly with a smile.
Jackson's face lit up hearing those words and he nodded enthusiastically, grinning widely.
"Yeah definitely! Just you wait your pedigree Machop won't know what hit him when I'm done with my pokémon!" He yelled, smirking down at Machop who in return scowled at him angrily making Jackson take a step back.
Green laughed and nodded along, placing her hand on Machop's head to calm him down. She turned and tugged lightly on his arm as he continued to square up at Jackson.
"See you in Cerulean Jackson!" She called out as she continued walking down the path.
Jackson watched her walk away with a determined look on his face, he got his jiggly puff's pokéball out of his container and gripped it tightly.
"I am strong, I deserve to be strong, I can do it." He muttered to himself as he turned back towards town.
Eventually, Green reached the northern gate which was little more than the start of a dirt path and a small faded wooden sign with
Mt Moon
printed on it. Standing by the sign was a tall, plump man with a bushy brown beard. On his back, a huge hiking backpack was slung over his shoulders with a clip around his belly to help stabilise it. He noticed Green, looking up at her with a beaming grin.
"You going through the mountain Lass?" He asked jovially.
Green smiled up at him and nodded, taking notice of a spearow feather pinned to his cap.
"I am, I'm making my way to Cerulean." She responded happily, glad to be talking to an adult who wasn't trying to fuck her for once. It was a lot less nerve wracking.
The man nodded and stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"Aye, well I'm assuming it's your first time. Mt Moon isn't an easy journey for inexperienced hikers, you'll need a guide." He warned her, glancing down at Machop who was still staring at the mountain with a fearsome look.
"Especially with that little fella, it's Machoke season around here. The local Machop troops use the mountain as a sort of rite of passage for older Machops. They venture into the tunnels and fight each other as well as wild pokémon until they either evolve or pass out." He explained, stepping out onto the path in front of her and extending out his hand.
"The name is Willis by the way, I'm taking a survey of the Mountain so I'd be happy to show you through the tunnel system. Wouldn't want you getting lost in there, those Gravelers are nasty little buggers I swear." He offered with a smile.
Green shook his hand and smiled politely.
"Sure that sounds great, thank you." She responded and eyed his belt, noting that all 6 of his pokéball canisters were filled.
"So who are you doing the survey for?" She asked Willis curiously as the two of them began making their way down the small path towards Mt Moon.
"Well, technically I've been commissioned by the plateau but really I'm doing it as a favour for the Nurse in Cerulean. I can't say no to a beauty like her!" He exclaimed with a jolly laugh.
Green giggled along happily as she watched Willis's very expressive face light up as he passionately explained. Willis eyed Green's large backpack and whistled admiringly.
"You must be strong for a lass to carry a bag like that, it's almost as big as you are." He noted as he leaned back to look at it properly.
Green shrugged and proudly beamed up at him.
"I got a lot of exercise while I lived in Pallet, plus I needed to be in shape for my journey." She explained happily.
Willis nodded acknowledgingly and glanced down at her belt to see her badge.
"Ah I see you're a trainer then?" He asked.
Green grinned confidently and nodded.
"Yeah I am! I'm going to Cerulean to challenge their gym, Machop and I are pretty strong so I reckon it'll be an easy sweep." She declared, holding her head high.
Willis smirked and raised his eyebrow at her.
"Don't underestimate Misty lass, she's a brilliant trainer. If you're not careful she'll give you a run for your money." Willis warned but Green shrugged dismissively.
"Together Machop and I are unstoppable." She responded smugly, making Willis chuckle and drop the subject with an amused shake of his head.
Green ignored his concerns and looked up at the mountain as it's base came into view. It was impossibly tall, she watched as a cloud began to envelope the peak above. The huge scale made her feel tiny and powerless. Willis noticed Green's startled expression and laughed.
"Aye, Mt Moon, she's a biggen. We won't be going up that far though, the tunnels go through the base. They were made by miners from both Pewter and Cerulean back hundreds of years ago when Kanto didn't even exist. Hell, the two societies didn't even know the other existed until they tunnelled into each other's mines and found each other." Willis explained with a laugh as they both approached the entrance to the mountain.
Propped up against the mountain were a few buildings. A small hostel made of flimsy looking wooden planks as well as a small pokémon center with a flickering pokéball symbol above the doorway.
"Come lass, let's get some food in us before the journey. Trust me you'll need it!" He exclaimed excitedly as he made his way towards the deprecated little hostel. Green paused, looking up at the peak one last time before following after him with Machop still eyeing the mountain ferociously.
