A Poke'master's Legacy

Disclaimer: I do not own poke'mon or any of it's trademark characters but I do own my own original characters and the storyline. Sue if you want but you'll get zilch. :)

Last Chapter: Gary, Misty, Ash, and Zoe take a ride in the first class suite on Zoe's father's boat. Misty confesses her teenage secrets to Ash and he gains a new respect for his friend. Gary proclaims his interest in the young and pretty Zoe and Ash makes his intentions with Misty clear with an erotic foot massage. Ah, sweet sexual tension....

Chapter 7:On the Trail

" AARGH! I MISSED IT!!" Zoe screamed as a small Rattata scurried off unscathed by her attack and her poke'ball laid discarded on the ground. I chuckled softly unable to stifle it with my hand. I shook my head and walked over to where she sat discouraged on the ground.

" What did I do wrong Ash?" she asked softly. " I weakened it just like you said and it still escaped the poke'ball." I simply shrugged.

" The unfortunate reality dear Zoe, is that sometimes the poke'mon's will to be free is stronger than one would like to think." I walked over to her disgarded poke'ball and picked it up. " Poke'mon have wills just like we do. In a sense, although we love our poke'mon to death, to put them in these contraptions are a type of bondage. They know this and most will fight. This won't be the last time a poke'mon escapes you." I turned towards Zoe to see her sitting on a rock with all of her attention on me. She looked like a devout puppy with her beautiful eyes sparkling the way they were. I smiled again and approached her to give her back her poke'ball.

" But Ash, if you feel that way, why to you continue to capture and train poke'mon?" she asked.

" That's a good question. I suppose the only answer I can give is that the way of life that we have concerning poke'mon will not stop simply because I alone have given up the chase." I stopped momentarily and looked at the sky. " I figure that if it will continue I want to get as many as I can because I treat my poke'mon like my friends, like family. They could end up in a worse situation than simply being in my care." She nodded.

" That's true. That's why I want to travel with you and train behind you Ash," Zoe confessed. " If I was with another trainer they would probably tell me to gain the strongest poke'mon and get them to evolve but I know just by being with you these past few weeks it takes more than that to be a good poke'mon trainer. It was more than that that helped you stay at the top for so long." I laughed feeling a bit shy at her praise.

" That is very true Zoe. I am glad that you picked it up so easily. For others, it was a hard lesson to learn." At that next moment, Gary arrived with his usual cocky smile. I suppose it lacked arrogance nowadays since he learned the lesson that Zoe had just picked up on. Gary plopped down beside Zoe on the rock saying something that made her blush profusely. I really doubt that Zoe was used to such... forward advances from a guy. Her father kept her sheltered to the tenth degree. Usually, I would let Gary have his fun but Zoe is my ward so that was definitely a no-no. I walked over to Gary and stood in front of him.

" I was in the middle of a lesson Gary," I said slightly irritated. Gary shrugged, his boyish smile never faltering.

" I think Zoe's entitled to a break," he said turning to Zoe. " You should come with me to a beautiful spot in the woods I found. I think that you would like it." Zoe was still blushing.

" I don't know Gary. I should probably stay here and learn some more from Ash." Gary frowned slightly.

" So what exactly is he teaching you today?" he asked.

" He was teaching me to respect my poke'mon and to understand that they mean just as much as we do to the world," she explained. Gary's smile returned as he turned to face me.

" Oh yeah, that lesson. Maybe you should stick around for it. If you don't, in the end, it'll come back to bite you on the ass." He stood up staring me deep in the eyes. When I was telling Zoe about people learning this lesson the hard way Gary was the first person to appear in my head. I could tell from this gaze that on one hand he respected me for the lesson but he didn't appreciate how humiliating it was for him to learn it. In either case, I didn't care. If he didn't learn from me then from who?



He broke the staring contest and started heading back to camp without a word to Zoe or me as he left. I felt Zoe come beside me and stare after Gary. " What just happended here?" she asked.

" Nothing. Gary was just re-living a dream," I said.

" A dream?" I nodded then began to head back to camp as well. I don't think Zoe understood what I meant but she followed me none the less. How come Misty was never like that when we traveled?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



When we got back to camp, Misty was bent over a pot stirring tonights' meal. The fire from the hearth lit up her beautifully tan face and made things low in my body clench. She was beautiful. It was only a matter of time before I made her mine but now wasn't the time.



When she heard us approach she smiled and waved Zoe over. Zoe went jovially while I went and sat beside Gary. He was staring out at the lake watching the twillight stars and moon twinkle in the pool's reflection. We sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments before I broke it. " You aren't mad at me are you Gary?" I inquired. He shook his head, still not taking his gaze from the river.

" Not at you Ash. At myself for not learning that lesson sooner." He turned to me then with a enigmatic smile crossing his features. " But, I am mad at you for one thing." I arched an eyebrow in confusion.

" Mad at me for what?"

" For trying to protect Zoe from me. You know she's a grown woman Ash no matter how innocent. Whatever she chooses to do with me is our business." I frowned thoughtfully. In theory he was correct. Zoe was about 17 or 18, but she had the mannerisms of a 15 year old. It would almost seem like molestation to me for Gary to try and sleep with her. But on the other hand, Zoe had only been traveling with us for about a few weeks. We don't truly know the real Zoe. At least not yet. I sighed in defeat.

" You are exactly right Gary." He had the grace to look surprised.

" You're actually agreeing with me?" I nodded.

" Yeah. I know that if I was trying to sleep with Misty I wouldn't want you messing around in my shit. If Zoe wants you to be the one then that's her business."

" Wait, you aren't trying to sleep with Red?"

" I never said that. Misty and I have to get re-aquainted with each other. I'm not trying to sleep with her right now if that's what you mean." Gary's boyish grin.

" You could've fooled the hell out of me. I saw that foot massage you gave her a few days ago. She looked like she was about to have an orgasm and your mouth wasn't even on her." I tried not to smile but the grin escaped anyway.

" Are you always so crude?"

" Only when I'm right." I looked back towards Misty and saw her showing Zoe how to cook various meals and what ingredients to use. She had her wetsuit on, so that means that she must've been swimming in the lake looking for some new poke'mon. The suit clung to her curves like a second skin and showed the fullness of her breasts and the spread of her hips. I turned away before my body started to react.

" Okay, so I am trying to jump her bones but it's more than that between Misty and I, which is why I am going for the slow apporach. A foot massage today, a back massage tomorrow... you never know." Gary laughed heartilly.

" Ash, you dog you, I want to be like you when I grow up!" I laughed as well until Misty called us over to eat. I sat beside Gary again by the fire and graciously accepted my bowl of soup from Zoe. Zoe was starting dreamily at Misty as she explained to her how to be a good hostess. I guess she was learning something from everyone. Pikachu took that moment to emerge from the woods and hop on my shoulder. I stroked his yellow coat gingerly.

" Where have you been today pikacu?" I inquired.

[[ I was in the woods looking for some fruit and some company,]] he replied. I quirked an eyebrow.

" What kind of company?"

[[ Ash, if you don't know by now then perhaps we should save the lesson for another day.]] I laughed and the rest of the group eyes me curiously. I simply gave them a shrug and they went back to eating except for Zoe who was still looking at us.

" Man, I can't wait until I have that kind of bond with my poke'mon," she said wistfully. " Sometimes I think Sparkle tries to talk to me and sometimes I understand what she means but I never hear words."

" I takes time Zoe. The ability also doesn't like to be rushed. I didn't even know that I could talk to him until one day he was looking at me and it was like I could hear his thoughts. It freaked me out for a little while."

[[ Who are you telling? Even in the poke'mon world it was unheard of,]] Pikachu added.

" Yeah, yeah," Gary said dismissively. " Can we save shop talk until the morning? I coulda swore ya'll had your lesson for today."

" I agree with Gary a little," Misty said. " Not saying that your lectures aren't educational Ash. Sometimes, you can sit back and chill. Be the student again and not always the teacher." I smiled a little. Maybe it was too enigmatic because my comrades gave me odd looks.

" Perhaps you are right Misty. I apologize. I guess I'm so used to people coming to me with questions that I forget not to supply answers." I put my empty soup bowl on the small table we had set up. " I think that I'll stay quiet for a time."

" Well that's good, so let's play truth or dare," Gary said. I felt an invisible layer of tension surround us and I knew that Gary and games didn't go hand in hand. Gary turned to me first and I felt a sense of dread. Whatever he asked me wouldn't be good. " Ash, where is the craziest place you had sex?" I sighed in annoyance. I could choose not to answer him but I knew it would come back to bite me on the ass so I bit first.

" Well, I guess that would have to be in the poke'mon center on the counter," I replied. Both Misty and Zoe had shocked looks on their faces as well as furious blushes. I wasn't ashamed of my sexual acts but that didn't mean that I would tell them the whole story. I wouldn't tell them that me an Nurse Joy were doing more than some poke'mon research in the office that night. Nah. That would ruin their images. They are seen as virginal anyway but this Joy taught me a few tricks.



" Yeah Ash!!" Gary exclaimed. " Misty, same question." Misty streched back a little exposing the unzippered front of her swimsuit that showed off the roundness of her clevage.

" The craziest? Well, I think that would be in my gym of course in the main pool. We were underwater," she said idly. I knew my body was swelling. I could almost imagine Misty wet in more ways than one and now was not the time to think such things. I looked aver at her, studying every curvatous inch of her and only wondered what she would feel like under me, on top of me. What would her breasts look like, feel like, taste like....

" Zoe," Gary said interrupting my thoughts. " How about you?" I looked to Zoe and saw that her face was flushed in a pretty pink. It was at that moment I realized what Gary was talking about. Her full pink lips were trembling in possible embarassment and her beautiful green eyes were shining with unshed tears. Her body was beautiful too. Damn. I was probably horny and looking at Zoe like this wasn't helping either.

" Actually, I'm a virgin," she replied meekly. She hid her face from us probably not wanting to see our surprise. But we weren't surprised because we already figured that she was. I went beside her placing an arm around her jerking shoulders. She was crying now.

" Zoe, that is nothing to be ashamed or embarassed about," I consoled. " Truth be told most of us probably lost our virginities for the wrong reasons. I know I had sex because I was lonely and was trying to find something to fill the emptiness in my heart. It didn't help at all, but I have a feeling that when I do find that right woman, sex will be everything that I was led to believe it was."

" He's right Zoe," Misty interjected. " I had sex to impress my sisters. They led me to believe that by giving a guy my body they would like me more and in truth, if they don't like you before you fuck 'em they definitely won't like you after. As a matter of fact they lose more respect for you and you become another conquest to their friends. I felt dirty and used. Don't do anything until you're ready no matter what the guy says to you." I looked at Misty now who was also in tears. She told me all of this on the boat ride here but hearing her say it with so much conviction made me realize how serious she was. She saw Zoe as a little sister and she would protect her because her own sisters led her astray. I developed a new respect for her.

Zoe finally looked up, her pretty face puffy and pink all over. " Thanks you guys for being honest with me," she said hugging me tightly. I hugged her back wishing that I could protect her from everything but knowing sadly that I couldn't.

" C'mon, let's got to sleep. We got a lot of training to do tomorrow," I suggested. Everyone agreed and Gary, who had become mysteriously quiet durning our confessions, went to sleep without a word to anyone. I guess he bit off more than he could chew with that question which wasn't surprising.

Zoe went to her sleeping bag with Pikachu curled up beside her and Misty went to her sleeping bag as well. There was nothing else left for me to do but go to sleep and dream that beautiful dream of sex and Misty. Man, I was going to have a serious boner in the morning.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*

That next morning, we were up early, forgetting the awkwardness of last night, we continued to the next city called Vision, which is pronounced vee-see-ion, to compete for a Glamor Badge. I could only imagine the type of shit we were in for here. I had been so long since I was the one competing for a badge that I hoped that I didn't lose my touch. Of course, on the other hand, I didn't always win every match the first time around.

I walked beside Gary with Pikachu on my shoulder when we entered the bustling town. " Wow!" Zoe exclaimed. " This place is huge. I heard a lot of things about this place especially about the shopping." I felt my heart clench. Rule number one, never mention shopping around Misty because she was just about as bad as my friend May when it comes to it. I glanced over to Misty whose pretty aqua blue eyes had stars in them.

" Did you say...shopping?" she inquired of Zoe. Zoe nodded with stars forming in her eyes as well.

" Yes. Mother said that it was spectacular. Anything you could ever want was here," she said. Misty rushed over to me grabbing my collar rather roughly.

" Must go shopping!" she said in a crazed voice. I carefully removed her hands from my shirt collar and placed her hands at her sides.

" I know Misty. Go ahead and take Zoe with you. Try not to get lost," I said. " Gary and I will go find the gym so you guys find a hotel for us." Misty smiled and gave a quick thumbs-up.

" No problem. We'll see you guys later." Misty quickly grabbed Zoe's hand and they were off vanishing in the crowd. Gary, Pikachu and I stared after them in amazement.

" Women," we said in unison.

End chapter 7. I know it's been a while. Please don't hate me! But my computer wanted to be acting wierd and I couldn't get to the internet, then I had writers block, and school breaks... A lot of shit happened okay so get off my back! (heavy breathing) Anyway, the next chapter Ash and Gary go for their badges and expect more sexual tension. :) Don't forget to review. Until next time.
