(Somewhere on the Kanto Sea| April 5th | 10:00 a.m.)

"Let me get this straight. When we docked into the Seaform Islands, you two went in for training and you both encountered Articuno. And you decide not to try to battle or catch it? Why?" Selphy asked.

"My Pokémon were drained." Joe remarked. "Plus, Articuno ain't my style."

"I prefer Moltres. If it was that one, I'd try to catch it in a heartbeat." Rusty remarked.

The group were still on the boat where was quickly sailing across the sea on the way to Sevii Islands just finishing breakfast and lounging around.

"So Selphy, what are the other members of the trio like?" Joe asked.

"I supposed I can tell you." Selphy said as Rusty and Joe gathered around for details.

(Viridian City | April 5th | 3:00 p.m.)

Sure, Delia won her badge, but she really wished that the leader was a bit more professional. She had won pretty much because Forrest was distracted the entire match and it was humiliating to sat through. She pedaled faster away from the town really wanting to forget the stink eye she got from Mizuho. Flint really shouldn't have asked where he could get something like that for his wife. At least, the photo op went well, but it did not help to remove the red of Delia's cheeks. Now she moved to get to Mt. Moon and make to the next town quickly. Of course, a wrench had to be thrown it by the closing off of the mountain. According to the officers, they were investigating for Team Rocket activity. Now here she was back on the Viridian Forest walking along. She was grateful her bike was a folding one for easy storage, but not grateful for the hot weather. She groaned from the heat before find a small secluded spring. She had considered the risk of being seen, but she was so sweaty that she was considering risking. It was then, she had an idea and sent out Bloom.

"Mimey, can you get the foliage around the area here to give me some cover?" Delia said sweetly. "I need an area to rest and a bit of privacy would help."

"Of course, m'am." Bloom said using her ability to increase plant growth.

Not long after, Delia had the privacy she needed and had sent out Rowe, her Fearow, to keep watch from the trees. Delia wasted no time stripping off her track jacket leaving a white sport bra that strained her assests. She sighed looking at her ample chest as she had quickly hit a late C cup size by eighteen. Now, she was nearing D thanks to motherhood and the bra was more for a younger her. She stretched as she continued to undress before easing into the clear water which was rather cold.

"I should get myself a water Pokémon. Would really be useful right now." Delia said relaxing in the water. "I wonder what the others are doing."

She looked over to her phone considering calling Ash to see how he was doing, but she quashed the thought not really wanting to pry on her son's case. Her thoughts wandered to Crimson and she found herself making the call.

"Moshi moshi, Crimson speaking." Crimson said.

"Oh Crimson, dear. No need to be so formal." Delia said sweetly.

"Delia? Oh right, you have my number. So, how you been?" Crimson remarked.

"Terrible. They cut off access to Mount Moon and I'm stuck in Viridian Forest until path's open." Delia said dryly.

"You could use Diglett's Tunnel." Crimson suggested.

He could hear her facepalm.

"So, anything new with you?" Delia asked.

"I caught a Squirtle. I'm on my way to the Curelean Cape." Crimson said proudly.

"Oh man, and it's so close to summer. It's supposed to be lovely this year." Delia whined. "I'm stuck naked in a pond in this forest."

She backpedaled upon realizing what she just said as Crimson was sputtering.

"Well that's nice…you have fun with that. I should go." Crimson said awkwardly being hanging up.

Delia hang up and put her phone back on the grass filled with a bit of embarrassment. Now she left Crimson with the thought in his mind. Her mind wandered to his father as she would have a similar problem with him.

"Days I wonder what it would have been like…" She thought. "His son looks just like him and his mom."

Even with the fact that Crimson was now considering an adult, she did not really to be ruin being a surrogate mother to him. She could not do that just for her own desires.

"Ugh, this is a total struggle." Delia groaned. "I'm sounding like a horny teenager."

Noticing that Bloom was napping in the sun and Rowe was keeping watch, Delia decided she needed some self care. She bit her lip as she grinded her fingers against her snatch, even squeezing two inside as she bucked her hips to get a bit deeper. Being submerged in water made for good lubricant. It had quite a while since she resorted to her fingers as she found the method a bit…best left in your teenage years. She wanted to suppress any moaning not wanting to get caught. She had to settle for keeping her mouth as not before long, she had that sweet release. She let out a labored breath of relief. Not one to take chances, she hastily slipped out of the water, drying herself off before getting some of her old clothes on. She recalled Rowe and settled for riding Bloom into town. She was not exactly in a walking mood at the moment.

(A/N: Not putting up stats because of this chapter's shortness. This was on purpose to make updating it easier. Either way, now that we glanced at the lives of the others, we'll jump back to the main story. Frankly, it's been fun to space it out, but I do want to hurry things along.)
