(St. Anne, Kanto Sea | April 25th | 8:00a.m.)

Day 2 of the Vacation was here as Crimson woke up in his new room. The captain of the ship had given him the upgrade to the VIP suites. Apparently, Melvin was his nephew. He had thanked Crimson for giving him confidence and drive. As thanks, he got a room upgrade and the HM for Cut. Ironically, it was the only one that hasn't become an TM later done the line much to Crimson's amusement. Crimson woke up taking in his new more luxurious room. His Pokémon were all slowly waking up. Tank bellowed for food and Crimson had the same idea. A quick shower later, Crimson was deciding on what he was going to wear for the day.

"Hm, opened shirt while shirtless or having a shirt under it?" Crimson asked himself. "Hey, Morticia? Am I going to look like a bigger bigshot with or without the shirt?"

"Are you trying to look like one?" Morticia asked in confusion.

"No, he just wants to continue to piss on that bitch, Gilbert." Rhint said catching the tone. "If that's the case, go bold. Let that bastard drink it how much of a chump he is compared to you."

"Thanks, Rhint." Crimson said going through his clothes. "And I'm glad I brought those clothes from Galar and Alola."

"Shouldn't you not care what he thinks?" Morticia said sagely.

"True, but he's an asshole. So's his starter, what a little shit." Kimiko said being surprisingly crass. "What? Even before our trainers, he was an ass. Besides, I can take a bit of pleasure that Gilbert's being put down."

Crimson decided to go with a black Pinstripe Collar Shirt opened to show a red Casual Striped Tee underneath, a pair of red cargo shorts, a pair of sandals, grey Aviator Shades, a red Logo Cap, and his studded wristbands to hide the weighted bands on his wrists.

"I wanted to wear the fedora, but that's a bit much." Crimson thought before returning his Pokémon. "I may as well use the trip to swap around and train up my whole team."

He did not even get out the door before bumping into someone.

"Professor Oak?! You're here!" Crimson said jolted.

"Why yes! Most of Pallet's here for the trip to Hina Island as a part of the Pallet Cultural Club." Oak said as Crimson sighed. "Please join us for breakfast."

Crimson went down to one of the dining areas to see a table with several Pallet Residents. Heather's parents, Lindsay's parents, Ella's mom, and Gilbert's parents were there.

"Crimson?"

Crimson turned to see a blue haired woman who looked like Yui Ikari had a fusion dance with Rei from that doujin when she was 28. His memory kicked in, this was Kyoko, Gilbert's mother. Memory came in to remind him of the people in town and he realized he was pretty much ignored when his folks vanished.

"So, Heather and Lindsay, both got siblings that's down river in Kassai." Crimson thought.

Crimson thought that at least he not given the Naruto treatment, but more most of them simply kept distance…except for Lindsay's dad. Crimson noticed the wineglass and frowned.

"Kyoko…hello, isn't it a bit early to start drinking?" Crimson said a tiny bit concerned.

"I need 'em. Six of these, and I'll be peachy keen to deal with Mr. Mayor over here." Kyoko said as Crimson glanced over at Gilbert's father, Woodrow Oak.

He cringed as he saw a douchebag. A special kind of douchebag that could be cultivated over years of narcissism. It was no wonder Kyoko was a drinker and Rei was an acting stoic. And from the memories, it seemed he was envious of his father mostly because of Crimson.

"Crimson!" Woodrow said excitedly. "How's the golden boy of Pallet doing?"

"Rather pleased to be on a cruise on break from my journey. Halfway through getting the main eight." Crimson said awkwardly.

"You're just like your old man and me, a go-getter. You and Rei got spunk, not unlike my son." Woodrow said as Gilbert was glaring daggers at Crimson. "Speaking of which, Rei, come over here to say hello to Crimson. She's been in Johto aiming to do the League there…she's halfway through hers like you."

Crimson would have felt sorry, but he really did not feel for Gilbert. As for Rei, he saw her come up appearing with a new look. Her hair had grown out from under an aqua swimming cap with a black net style on her head, a blue jacket with three yellow stripes on the cuffs over a shiny blue sleeveless one-piece wetsuit with white accenting and three yellow lines in the center, blue and black bike Lycra skinny fit shorts, blue and teal water shoes, a backpack, a belt with her Poké Balls on them, and a pair of Go-Goggles around her neck. Much to Crimson's surprise, she got a few piercings on her right ear.

"Crimson, you look well." Rei said showing a bit more emotion. "How've you been?"

"Ok, Rei being the "Kris" of this world makes a bit of sense, I guess. But damn, her time in Johto did her well. She looks a bit happier. Probably because she got away from her parents." Crimson thought before greeting her.

"Oh great, you're here too." Gilbert said with a snarl. "Come to make me look bad in front of jisan."

"Personally, I don't really care for that. Father just happen to like me more than you for some reason." Rei said retaking her stoic tone with him.

"I'm just going to get some breakfast." Crimson said walking off.

He spotted Joe and Rusty eating with Aya, Turbine, and Misty on a table a good distance away. He was going to walk towards them, but he was stopped by Lindsay's dad. Now unlike Woodrow, Leone was actually a guy Crimson could respect. He was a successful lawyer and was basically the Uncle Pennybags for everyone. Interestingly, he's the reason Heather has a Lapras, and even took in the Clones when their parents croaked.

"Mr. Mills…I mean Uncle Leone, it's really good to see you." Crimson said as Leone ruffled his hair.

"Same here, heard you're making a mark in the world of trainers. I always knew you had it in you." Leone said kindly. "I really wish Lindsay were traveling with you instead of lugging around with the others and Gary. Really feel she's hampering herself."

"Don't think so. She and I have one thing in common, thriving when we're underestimated." Crimson said. "Now excuse me, I need to grab a plate and join my cohorts."

Crimson finally got to the table and joined his friends while sending out his Pokémon to get some breakfast as well.

"I saw what happened. Yeesh." Joe said sympathetically. "Sucks to be the orphan kid."

An eye roll later, Crimson was in the midst of eating as the televisions all played the news before the programmed shifted to something Crimson knew.

[Cues: Cowboy Bebop OST – American Money]

Apparently, someone saw Cowboy Bebop, and loved it enough to make an actual Big Shots with a "Punch" and "Judy" that damn well looked close to the ones from the anime. This show's Punch was a bit younger, but not too young for it to be distracting.

"Oh cool, my sister's Paula is on!" Lindsay said excitedly.

"Howdy amigos, all you piles of trainers out across the regions!" Punch said excitedly arriving on camera riding a Tauros. "How y'all doing?"

"And welcome to Big Shots for Pokémon Trainers, we're back on the prowl to show you all the trainers who are hottest and worthy of a bounty!" Judy said excitedly. "So, what's on today's menu?"

"Well, Judy, it's rather unusual. But apparently, we're slapping a bounty on a few rising stars from the Kanto region who hasn't even gotten to our six-badge minimum." Punch said surprising Judy.

"Really? But that's rarely happened." Judy said with actual evident shock.

"Well, one of them certainly fits the bill as he's the son of two bounty heads on this show!" Punch said uncovering the sheet over two images. "Brandon and Kaida!"

"Wait, they had a kid?!" Judy said horrified. "I feel so sorry for those poor Kanto trainers."

"Fuck you, he's not a….." Gilbert snarled only for Lindsay to slam a fork down on his hand. "Gahhh!"

"Yes, they both have a combined bounty of 120 million Pokédollars! And we welcome their son, Crimson, to be worthy of a bounty." Judy said before asking Punch what the bounty was.

A Noctowl flew in giving a paper to Punch to which he opened it and paled.

"He can't be serious, he's…well it seems our boss is not taking him lightly, Crimson's bounty has been set to start at 150…" Punch said before taking a breath. "Thousand."

"WHAT?! But most trainers start at a standard of 50k, why triple it for him?" Judy asked. "Why start him at the amount Cynthia had?"

"Apparently, it's because of his consistent winning streak at least according to his record. Now let's get to the rules. Remember, our bounties are only temporary lasting about 24 hours, meaning if you want that cash, you got to defeat Crimson in battle between those hours." Punch said rubbing his Tauros' head affectionately.

"You're only limited to a three Pokémon fight or less. Either in single format, doubles, or triples. You also can't take prize money from the bounty if they are defeated, you have to call in to report the defeat. And the most important rule is you only get one chance at the bounty. Most importantly, if you lose against a bounty, you can't try again until the bounty is reactivated. You only got one shot!" Judy said with a wink. "Now, about the other two?"

"Of course, let's introduce Joe Rogers and Rusty Beige to wall of bounties who have given 100k bounties trailing right behind." Punch said as both were unveiled on the wall.

"Damn straight. Black Dragons proving their worth!" Joe whooped.

"Of course, if they all manage to not get defeated, their bounties are increased with added bonus of the number of trainers beaten and frozen for the next time it's activated. Let see who can enter these Black Dragons! Your bounties begin now!" Punch said as the program came to a close.

[Music Ends]

Everyone looked at Crimson who gulped as some of them saw him as a golden goose, an easy mark, and a payday to be had. Joe and Rusty were getting similar looks.

"Well fuck." Joe said before getting up and getting on the table. "All right, I know you all want to fight me, but can it wait until after breakfast! Come on!"

There were murmurs of agreement, but there was a protest from Cardin.

"No, I'm going to kick your ass right now!" Cardin said walking up only for Gary to get in the way. "Get out of my way."

"No." Gary said as Kamex backed him up. "At least wait until after they eat to get your sorry ass handed to you."

Before a fight could start, Crimson cleared his throat having eaten his breakfast.

"I'll take some opponents, but...only in battle style of my choosing." Crimson said getting up to get the staff collect the plates. "Guys, we're readying for a fight. Because Cardin's going to be first in line. Unless, he's scared."

"Yes, fighting!" Tessa said as her body sparked excitedly.

"Scared? You! Hah, bring it. If you're hanging with those two losers, you can't be that tough." Cardin said cracking his knuckles.

"Wait, didn't you lose to him?" Lindsay said pointing out the obvious.

"I was disqualified before the match was called." Cardin said trying to point out the difference.

"Disqualified for cheating, I may point out." Gary said as Cardin had a few glares aimed at him.

"Let's just do this." Crimson said leaving with his Pokémon for the arena.

It would be about a half hour later that it was all set up for the fight to begin using one of the arenas for battling on the ship, specifically one of the outdoor ones. With Allison referring, the battle was on.

"Fearow, Machamp, stand by!" Cardin said sending out his intimidating beasts of choice.

"Tank, Tessa, get in there." Crimson said as Tank and Tessa stomped into the arena.

"Pah, he sends a Normal-type to fight a Fighting-type." Sazandora snickered.

"Stupid bitch doesn't realize that Crimson could easily have a varied moveset for Snorlax. Lazy they are, but they have deep move pools." Allison thought as Crimson check the Dex. "Add the fact, he has a Dex to properly help cultivate his skills and determine the rank of others."

"Ok, a few levels ahead. But not enough to be a threat, all right…let's begin." Crimson said to himself to before saying, "Tessa, use Swift!"

Cardin had called for his Fearow to use Aerial Ace, but the Quick Claw Crimson gave Tessa triggered letting her pop her off blast of yellow stars first from her eyes pelting both Machamp and Fearow.

"Tank, I need to sit and look like you're not taking them seriously." Crimson said as Tank took out of an apple to eat. "And you'll use your head when it's time."

"Oh, you bastard! Machamp, teach that Snorlax the business with Dynamic Punch!" Cardin said as Machamp came running with a glowing red fist.

"Oh, you want to attack. Whatever…I'll just use my head." Tank said as he glowed blue freezing Machamp in his tracks.

"What the hell?!" Cardin said as Fearow gulped, "Psychic!"

"Cardin, you could just surrender before I humiliate you even worse than last time. Everyone already knows you suck." Crimson said slyly.

"Fearow, help Machamp and use Aerial Ace!" Cardin said as Fearow came charging at him with a fierce.

"Exactly as planned." Crimson thought as he looked at Tank giving the nod before saying, "Tank, use Machamp as a shield and use Mega Punch!"

This surprised the crowd as Tank used his telekinetic hold on Machamp to whirl him in the way causing Fearow to hit him with Aerial Ace. Adding to the damage, Tank smashed his fist into Machamp's back getting him to spit up before hitting the ground.

"Tessa, finish it up with Thunderbolt!" Crimson said as Tessa zapped both Fearow and Machamp before a small explosion occurred.

Both Pokémon had groaned in pain before passing out leaving the victory in Crimson's hands.

"Well, clearly you really need some Vigara because if you're going to blow your load so early, you'll never get a girl to come for Round 2." Crimson taunted as some in the glad took to laughing as Cardin's face went red. "Now I'll take two more people before I break to let Rusty take some."

Cardin returned his Pokémon and stormed off. Before Rei could speak up, Sazandora took to the arena wanting to take Crimson sending out a shiny Charizard saying it was only going to need this to win. Allison inwardly cringed as she knew that Charizard was the result of Sazandora's ill-attempt at breeding by having the students do the work. Aside from the shiniess, it's stats were not exactly really stellar. Being that Sazandora was not the type to buy vitamins or really put effort than the bare minimum, Allison knew this was not going to end well. Crimson took a look at the level realizing it recently evolved.

"This one is bred from a long line of powerful dragons." Sazandora said as the Charizard.

Crimson sent out Rhint and the Charizard bragged it could beat a water-type with ease.

"Especially ones slow like you!" Charizard said as Sazandora give the order for Solar Beam. "Now fall under my feet!"

Crimson lazily activated his Mega Band and told Rhint to use Water Pulse. With Water Pulse doubled by Mega Launcer, enhanced by Mega Evolution, and STAB, even if Charizard had fired the Solar Beam, it would not have overtaken it. Charizard was taken out before even before he could launch the Solar Beam leaving Sazandora gaping like a fish.

"Now that you're done with them, I want to fight." Rei said as Rhint returned to normal. "A Triple Battle."

Rei shoved Sazandora off the arena as Crimson got his prize money of her and Cardin.

"Rei, now I'm excited." Crimson said with a determined look on his face. "I've tired of pushing your brother around. Now I get a real fight."

"Of course, you wanted a trainer, not a little bitch." Rei said as Gilbert was fuming. "Now, let's begin."

[Cues: Pokémon Heartgold/Soulsilver OST – Rival Battle]

"Pompeo, Pandora, and King Khan, standby for battle!" Rei said sending out her Pokémon of choice.

Her Pokémon of choice? A Typloshion, Weaville, and a Slowking. He immediately turned his hat and cracked his knuckles. The crowd could feel it. Crimson was no longer joking around as he got to his Dex.

"We're near even in strength. Ok, she's just good coverage. I need to even the score!" Crimson thought before forming a plan.

In response, he had Rhint, Kimiko, and Morticia battle in response. The air was tense as Crimson and Rei stared each other daring the other to move first. However, Crimson decided to go for it first.

"Kimiko, into the air and use Heat Wave!" Crimson said as Kimiko soared into the air. "Morticia, try out your Phantom Force."

Her wings glowed as they combusted into flames as she flapped them producing a searing heat from them. Morticia's eyes glowed as a portal tore open as she leapt into it. Rei had Weaville use Protect to shield herself, had King Khan counter Kimiko with Scald, and had Pompeo rush to hit Rhint with Thunder Punch. Thankfully, Kimiko's Heat Wave kept Scald from getting too close to hit. Pompeo may not have taken a lot of damage, but Heat Wave left him hurt.

"Rhint, hit back with Mega Punch!" Crimson said as Rhint's fist glowed hot white.

Rhint used his shell to endure Pompeo's Thunder Punch while ensuring that the Volcano Pokémon was going to have a sore hand while having a sore jaw after he decked him with Mega Punch sending Pompeo tumbling into the ground.

"I'm going to hate that I have to hamper you Pompeo, but I need to deal with Crimson. Bear with me." Rei thought before giving the order for Slowking to use Rain Dance.

At the last second right as the rain begun, Morticia made her grand return attack with full Phantom Force.

[Cues: Pokémon Anime Sound Collection - Raid!]

"Pandora, aim your Dark Pulse at Morticia. Pompeo, Brick Break! King Khan, Thunder on Rhint!" Rei said as Crimson snarled.

Crimson was now having to scramble to play defense for Rhint as the Turtle Pokémon had to use Protect to block attacks from both Pompeo and King Khan. Morticia was dodging as her life depended on it.

"Kimiko, air support! Dragon Pulse!" Crimson said as Kimiko breathed out her attack managing to get Pompeo off his back.

"Tell me something, Crimson. You may be able to protect your Blastoise, but your Charizard's probably not so lucky." Rei said before having King Khan turn his attention to Kimiko. "Now, it's time we zap a fly out of these skies."

"Damn it! I got to help…WAHHH!" Morticia said as she got hit with Dark Pulse twice into the ground.

Thunder was rumbling and Crimson was getting more and more unsure of himself.

"Shit, shit, shit!" Crimson thought as Dex Bulma said, "Crimson, you're in it tight, but I think it's time you show your skills in speed. Here's a song to help remind you of what you came to do!"

When Dex Bulma hijacked the speaker to play that song, it was like a fire was lit.

[Cues: Pokémon Anime Sound Collection - Johto Victory Battle Theme]

Crimson's nerves steeled, he regained his posture, and he now had a biggest smirk as he fixed his hat.

"I'm sorry I let my nerves fray. Not anymore!" Crimson said having Kimiko Mega Evolve. "Kimiko, use Hurricane to swirl around and tank that Thunder!"

Kimiko's whole body had a white glow as she swirled around in a circle creating a vicious storm of wind around the arena. Thanks to her Dragon-type, it spared her from super-effective damage. The force of the wind was sucking things in, and Rhint used this chance to use Mega Punch from behind to send Slowking into the vortex leaving four left on the field.

"Pandora, finish off Morticia with Shadow Claw. Pompeo, Rock Slide!" Rei offered seeing he had gone on further on the offensive.

Pandora lunged only for Crimson to have Morticia slap her Black Sludge on Pandora's face getting Pandora to squeal in pain before having Morticia use Drain Punch. Her fist became surrounded in a white orb of energy before squarely punching her in the stomach sapping back HP. Kimiko was told use Steel Wing to slice through the falling rocks and use Heat Wave to send them down as makeshift meteors.

"Ugh, my hea…" King Khan said only to get crushed by one of the rocks. "Ow…."

Pandora coughed before falling over as Morticia reclaimed her Black Sludge before turning to Pompeo who realized it was now three against one. Rei scanned her odds with her Pokédex, a Johto Dex that looked like a hybrid of the Gen II and IV versions, but suddenly closed.

"Damn, if I hadn't made it rain, I'd say I have a chance. But you bested me, I humbly fold." Rei said right as the song ended.

[Music Ended]

Crimson took a breath as his Pokémon all looked relived as Pompeo sighed in defeat.

"If only I knew Eruption, I'd flatten you three." Pompeo groaned.

"Even if you had combined, our three strongest attacks along with the rain, and you'd be hard pressed." Morticia said astutely. "Still, you gave us a good run. Thank you for that."

Pompeo nodded as he got his cohorts up feeling for King Khan who now had a splitting headache thanks to the rocks. Kimiko's wings were a bit sore and Rhint had the shakes from the Thunder Punch.

"Well, a perfect way to end the first few matches." Crimson said returning his team. "All of you did exceptional."

Crimson had walked off with Rei to get their Pokémon healed saying to Rusty that he could take over for now.

"Almost thought, she had him." Heather said.

"I believe all of you making bets against Crimson can pay me now." Lindsay said as people begrudgingly paid up.

"That's my girl." Leone said proudly as Lindsay's mother, Anne, rolled her eyes in jest.

"Rei is certainly showing a lot of promise. First time I ever saw Crimson get nervous." Oak remarked as Gary wondered why that was the case. "Still, that was fantastic."

As Rusty took on opponents, Crimson and Rei were getting their Pokémon healed at the ship's built-in center.

"You almost had me." Crimson admitted. "If I wasn't on the bounty, I would not be fretting so much."

"It's the same feeling. I'm rather you gave me the run for my money. Made this trip worth it so far…even if I had to see my family again." Rei remarked.

"Must be really hard to deal with Gilbert." Crimson said as Rei sigh.

"Gilbert? He's the least of my problems. He's just a dumbass mini version of my father. My father is narcissistic social climber who thinks the world is his because he's that one Trainer from Pallet who even made it into the Top 1000 years ago. That fucker gets worshipped and made mayor despite the fact that Professor Oak was a damn champion ranking higher than him. I wished he wasn't so humble, and he'd kick my father's ass because all my dad cares about is having the best. That's why he envies your dad. To him, your father had everything my father thinks he deserves. If your father wasn't so focused on you, he'd easily steal the election. All it led to…was an unpleasant childhood."

"You never mentioned your mother." Crimson remarked as Rei rolled her eyes.

"My mother and Lindsay's mother are both spoiled, but my mother only really married my father for financial reasons. I mean Lindsay's mother did with Leone too, but they got a healthy relationship later down the line apparently. My mother drinks, there's mutual cheating, arguments, her spending his money without a care, clashing egos, and mixed signals. My mother only really taught me to look pretty to find a nice wealthy man to care for my needs. Considering my looks…that's not going to be easy." Rei admitted.

"Rei, the only issue you have is you don't smile enough. Other than that, you are gorgeous." Crimson said as Rei blushed a bit. "I didn't think it was that bad."

"The racism had to be come from somewhere and to let you know, it's from dad. Though I think it's less out of racial hatred and more out of envy because of your dad. Didn't help that my mother had a crush on your dad." Rei said, "But I had no intent of going back home. So long as that asshole is mayor, I'll stay far away from Kanto."

Crimson hugged Rei wanting to at least give the girl some comfort to which Rei returned.

"Take my advice, don't ever lose to that scrub." Rei said as a Nurse Joy returned with their Pokémon. "And if my dad asks you for a favor, don't do it."

"Thanks, Rei." Crimson said before raising an eyebrow. "But you didn't anything about your mom again."

"What about her? She'll probably try to sleep with most people on the ship. I won't judge if take up her offer…I mean she's attractive and all. And before I forget, here…" Rei said handing over prize money along with a slip of paper. "Your cash and my room number, pay me a visit for a drink or two."

Rei left Crimson with his thought, and he wanted to reach out to her. However, he knew she's happier away from Kanto and her family. Elsewhere, Rusty effortlessly steamrolled through four opponents with Nox alone, helping that most of his opponents who thought of Rusty of an easy mark with the last one being the reason Nox learned Crunch. Leanne wanted to fight him and his Beedrill wanting a rematch for a past battle.

"If you insist. Tashigi, switch out Yanlin for Midori please." Rusty said taking up Yanlin's ball.

"As you wish." Dex Tashigi said as Yanlin's ball vanished with Midori's in its place. "Swap complete."

Rusty sent her out who turned to her trainer.

"I know you've held up because I got a story for you." Rusty remarked.

"I'm aware somewhat. When you returned to Kanto, we were transferred to Tree's…and we saw Big Shots." Midori said raising her stingers. "Who we fighting?"

"I have fury!"

"Rusty, we're fighting Leanne and her Raticate, are we?" Midori said as Rusty nodded. "This fuckin' bitch just won't leave us alone. Her Raticate is the reason I borderline hate the species."

"Ok racist." Raticate said with a hiss.

"Raticate, show them your Crunch attack!" Leanne said as Raticate.

"Iron Defense." Rusty said as Raticate hit down on Midori's stinger which was rather hard considering the steel plating.

"Ah Arecus, my teeth!" Raticate wailed as Leanne called Rusty out on that. "You stupid bitch, you're supposed to be in pain! Not me!"

"Oh, I'm supposed to bend over for to you to win. I thought you were supposed to be the Elites of our dear school. Never ever losing." Rusty vented. "Midori, Electroweb."

The rat found himself trapped thanks to the attack. Leanne suggested trying to use Ice Fang to tear though it only for Rusty to point out that's a bad idea.

"Oh, shove it, retard. Unlike you I know what I am do…" Leanne said before only for an explosion to occur.

As Rusty thought, using your mouth which had saliva to open through a net made of electricity made it was not going end well for the Pokémon. Maybe if it was Thunder or Fire Fang, there would have been a chance. Now there lay a smoldering Raticate.

"Son of a Bisharp." Rusty muttered coming up to the Raticiate looking rather sick. "Burn damage, paralysis…definitely needs a medic now. Probably some surgery."

Rusty went into his bag to get a Full Restore only to get slapped by Leanne who ranted about how dare he show pity on her. She scooped up Raticate and showed up much to Rusty's protest that he needs medication. Leanne stormed off leaving Rusty flustered. If that Full Restore wasn't so expensive, he'd hurl it off the ship. But instead, he got out a berry and hauled it off the ship in frustration.

"Little bitch didn't even pay the prize money." Joe thought.

Rusty sighed and took his break switching Midiori back out for Yanlin. Joe took over for battles, and the day went out. Misty had found Crimson at another deck looking out of the sea.

"Beautiful sight, isn't it?" Crimson asked.

"It really is." Misty said. "By the way, thanks for the bikini you bought. Top makes a decent halter top."

He spied Misty wearing a bikini top and short shorts much to his inward glee. She was even wearing her gym's badges as earrings which was cute to him.

"You're a hard man to find, Mr. Crimson." Boris said coming up to them. "The Capitan wishes to have words."

"Boris? Your…she's here. Oh…anyone else from Seacrest is here?" Crimson asked. "I already know Thugnificent is here with his crew."

"Well, only us, the Wunclers, and Luna. There's also that annoyance, Ruckus." Boris said as Crimson groaned.

"Who's Ruckus?" Misty asked.

"An insult to blackness and humanity in general. A stain on the world humanity that if not for the Wunclers, I'd kill him." Crimson said bluntly. "Plus, he's ugly inside and out. Either way, I think to go with him to see the associate of mine. Black Dragon business."

"You're forgetting I'm a proud member of that group too. Besides, you need backup." Misty said defiant.

"Fine, but a fair warning, you're going to need to have steel nerves when we met her." Crimson said as they followed Boris.

Back up to the VIP suites, Boris took to the one, a grand one set up with an office and bedroom in mind. There in the large comfort sat Balalaika out of her usual suit and in a wine red Alolan shirt, cargo pants, and sandals. Misty could help but recoil at the scars. However, what had Crimson's attention right now a sheepish looking Revy and Rock sitting on chairs next to her.

"This is Balalaika, head of Hotel Moscow, a Mafiya Pr…No Que…Empress. Yes, a Mafiya Empress. Former Soviet solider, total badass, and an associate of mine. She's also technically my neighbor." Crimson explained. "And, Sofiya, this is Misty Waterflower, the Cerulean City Gym Leader, one of my closest friends. A fellow Black Dragon."

"Getting the authority on your side? You sure you're not a mob boss and not a biker gang leader?" Balalaika teased while rubbing her Persian's head affectionately.

"You got a Persian? How'd that happen?" Crimson asked.

"Well, this one had the nerve to swoop into my kitchen and steal food of mine. Slashed one of my boys in the face to try to escape. I was going to throw something at it, wound up being an Ultra Ball. And now…Sasha has been a pleasant companion to have." Balalaika said as Sasha mewled. "And while I want to ask for you expertise in moves. I need you for these two."

"Wait, this is the guy you're talking about it. I expected some expert, not some brat." Revy snarked.

"You'd be wise to show some respect. He is a capable prodigy, and, in this society, he's got plenty over you." Balalaika said as Revy grumbled.

"I'm sorry, Revy's…" Rock said only for Crimson cut in, "It's ok, she's just not fully aware to the society we're a part of."

"And exactly how these animals help us blend in and gain power? That cat doesn't look so tough." Revy spouted as Crimson had an idea.

"Then allow to show you." Crimson said getting out a Thunderbolt TM. "Besides Pokémon aren't just paltry. They're arguably mythical creatures of badassery rightfully feared, respected, and/or cherished. Now Sasha, be a dear, and make this plebian understand."

Sasha's whiskers viciously sparked before unleashing a Thunderbolt on Revy who was now on the floor twitching.

"Tough enough for ya?" Sasha asked as Revy stumbled to her feet.

"Ok, so I was wrong. Where can I get one?" Revy said changing tune.

"That's why you're here. I heard of Roanapour's falling and I'm rather glad I 'retired' as I did. I knew I had to collect your group. You two, I'm dealing with by getting him involved." Balalaika said gesturing to Crimson. "I can't have you going around the regions with guns, Revy."

"Why the fuck not?" Revy asked.

"Because you need a license. And I'm going to really honest with you. Gun licenses are really expensive and have much red tape to get one. It took a lot of finding officials to bend some rules for us, and had I know that getting Pokémon licenses was so much easier earlier, I'd cut back on the guns. Now I'm stuck owing those loathsome Wunclers for their help. So, if you want to openly use your guns, you need to cough 50k and being a resident for a year or two." Balalaika said annoyed.

"Wait, so guns are near impossible to get, but creatures can shoot lightning are easy to get. This place is fucked up." Revy said as Crimson rolled her eyes.

"And being that we need you for jobs, our Captain has requested the help of Crimson to be you and Rock's tutor to trainerhood." Boris explained.

"That won't be too bad. I can breeze them through the easy stuff and I'll pile them with a book or two for the rest." Crimson mused.

"You did get them licenses for that, right?" Misty chimed.

"Thanks to Professor Tree, he was generous enough to help you two out with a small donation." Balalaika said as Crimson asked if she paid him in pot. "….I cannot say I did pay him in pot."

"As long as that pot wasn't laced with coke, it's fine." Crimson muttered.

Balalaika produced two licenses to give to Revy and Rock explaining that Crimson will have help them get a starter because of how they had to pay for those licenses.

"I suppose I can work with that. Considering the markets sell freshly bred Pokémon like drugs, it'll be easy, but I want to be repaid for any cash I'll need to spend on these two." Crimson said. "I'll deal with your Persian for free though."

Running through getting what moves for Persian was easy, educating an idiot was a bit more of a challenge.

"Let me get this straight, in this region, once your trainer, you're seen an adult. With that ID, you can smoke, drink, and/or fuck as you please. And our taxes are taken automatically…" Revy said after the first explanation. "Can I can get out of taxes?"

"Unless you want to deal with Pokémon League Internal Revenue Service, and they will hire trainers to hunt you down, break your kneecaps, and get their taxes. At least, that was my father says." Crimson says as Rock looked horrified.

"Sadly true." One of Balalaika's men said awkwardly admitting. "I botched up on a form and an agent at my door. Nearly broke my kneecaps. At least, they let me explain to fix the issues."

"Ok, so I'll pay my taxes like a good citizen." Revy said with a sheepish grin.

Running through the basics was not too hard now that Revy was willing to listen, and as least some were writing notes. As for the head empress, she had borrowed Crimson's Pokédex cycling through several of the species Crimson caught.

"I could use a Luxray. A Pokémon to see in the dark and easily charge my phone would be useful." Balalaika thought.

"And there's the minimum so you don't end up making an idiot out of yourselves. Now, there's the matter of getting you the needed tools, the clothes, and some Pokémon. Luckily, I got a man for the first two." Crimson said getting his phone out making a call. "Yeah, Shady? I need something. Two backpacks filled with a starter pack, one guy, one girl. I got two new fish to Pokémon. Yeah, all right. I'll have Dex Bulma transfer the funds to pay for it. Just ready the transfer. On my way."

He got up and took Dex Bulma back.

"We're headed down to the trade machines." Crimson said getting his bag. "We're getting a package coming in."

Crimson, Misty, Balalalika (who at least which out with her military coat), Boris, Revy, and Rock went to the trading machine. As for the few of her men that were on the trip, they were off to train. Swapping out Tank for Marqueesha, he sent her out to let her what's going down.

"Ok, so you're sending me over to Shady's to pick up a package." Marqueesha said with a nod. "Well, let's get it done."

"He's got a translator had translates Pokémon speech. No, you can't buy one." Misty said getting eyes as he returned Marqueesha.

"It's so pink. You'd think a little girl would have it." Revy snickered. "Is it going to sing me to death?"

"Would you like a demonstration of it attacking you?" Crimson threatened as Revy shut up. "I thought so."

Crimson put her ball sending it before getting back a ball in return. He sent it out to get Shady's Tangrowth.

"Hello friend. Shady has got a package for you, all for what you asked. Here's the one for the lady, you'll get the other one when I'm traded back." Tangrowth said presenting a black handbag adorned with red studs and an ammo belt for a shoulder strap.

Revy did not care that it was a purse, because it looked so cool to her. She never knew a woman's accessory could be so beautiful.

"Inside, should be a few super potions, a berry pouch with a few berries, Super Repels, a few waters, Full Heals, a cell phone, and several balls. Great Balls and Ultra Balls mostly." Crimson said before thanking Tangrowth. "

"Thank you." Revy said earnestly. "Because where has these babies been all my life?"

With Tangrowth, he sent her back to reclaim Marqueesha who was sent out to reveal a black messenger bag with blue decals on it.

"Thanks, Mar." Crimson said returning her before sending her back into storage to return Tank to the active team. "Now, inside that bag should have the same stuff. In total, both bags and all those items, about 35,000. Heck, 600 alone for the phones. It would be higher, but my guy got the boss's discount because he works for me." Crimson said as Rock took his bag. "Now, we go to the fun part. Clothes shopping."

Crimson returned that a trainer has to look the part while putting on his shade. Balalaika could only chuckle at the charm Crimson gave off.

"Oh god, why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Revy said as Rock chuckled himself. "What's so funny, jackass?"

"Well, considering what you wear every day, I figured you wouldn't complain." Rock snarked.

Clothes shopping went rather eventful with Rock enjoying Revy's squirming. And then came the outfit Crimson stuck her in. A red and white baseball cap with a Poké ball logo on it, a black and white t-shirt, blue-green shorts with a red waistband and bow, and black punk styled OTK socks. She kept her gloves and boots. Revy's eye twitched as she looked herself in mirror. Rock was torn because finding her adorable and laughing at her. Balalaika and Boris shamelessly laughed at her.

"Rock, it's your turn. I hope you like matching." Crimson said with near devious grin.

"Oh, Crimson, you're cold." Misty said shaking her head.

Rock found himself in a red and white baseball cap with a red Poké Ball logo on it, a red and white jacket with a black undershirt, blue pants, and black and yellow sneakers with blue shoelaces. He kept his tie out of habit. Rock and Revy realized they were matching which Crimson teased it was a thing for young couples to match up.

Crimson snapped a photo saying it was for the memories as Rock could only sheepishly blush. For Revy, it was an angry blush.

"Just get us to the fucking Pokémon, you little shit." Revy said as Crimson led the way.

"Here we got breeders selling off their crops." Crimson said as breeders were selling off Pokémon. "Let's see…Hm?"

A rather shifty-eyed breeder was sitting in a lawn chair on top of his van. Nearby, there was a play pen full of Eeeve and Pikachu.

"What's with the little foxes?" Rock asked.

"Those are Eevee. Rather rare bugger. It's can evolve to a multitude of different depending on exposure to stones, bonding with it, or having a Fairy-type move on it." Crimson remarked. "Why?"

Balalaika was already over there wanting to buy one getting an eye roll from Revy. CRUNCH! There was a scream and they turned to see a woman screaming to get a Pokémon off of her. The Pokémon in question was a short, bipedal Pokémon with a pale-yellow body and black arms and feet. Its legs have a thick, fur-like covering resembling hakama or a skirt. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have an oval yellow spot on their top surface and contain ten pointed teeth - six on the top row and four on the bottom. It has red eyes and two black ear-like extensions on either side of its head. The woman in question was off the Lady trainer class.

"You asshole! You said she was gentle." The lady screamed at the breeder. "I want my money back…"

"This fucking bitch thinks I want to play dress up! I want to fucking fight!"

Crimson got his Dex.

"Mawile, Deceiver Pokémon, a cunning and terrifying Pokémon, its cuteness makes opponents let down their guard—and then it swallows them whole with its huge jaws. The huge jaws are actually steel horns that have been transformed due to a mutation in their species. Those jaws are strong enough to chew through steel beams. This Pokémon is a Steel and Fairy capable of Mega Evolution." Dex Bulma as Revy saw a kindred spirit.

Revy came up to the woman asking if she could have it. The lady in question fished out a Dusk Ball.

"Take it! Just get it out of my sight!" The lady said tearing the creature off her leg putting it in Revy's hand. "Not my fucking problem anymore."

The lady limped for a medic.

"What a bitch." Revy muttered.

"I know, right?" Mawile muttered as Crimson came up.

"Well, you settled with your first Pokémon. Your first Pokémon will be special to you, you'll cherish them as they carry through battles, trials, and hardship. Now let's see…according to the Dex, she's female, her ability is Hyper Cutter, has a Naughty nature, is at level 14, and for its moves: Poison Fang, Bite, and Play Rough. Not a bad move set to start with. You want to give it a nickname?" Crimson asked.

"Why would I do that?" Revy asked.

"It's a tradition for trainers to sometimes nickname their Pokémon. Plus, it helps to build strong bonds." Crimson rattled.

"I'm bad with names." Revy admitted.

"Kuchi. It's Japanese for mouth and it refers to the species' older name: Kucheat." Crimson said giving a basic idea. "I like to give my Pokémon meaningful names or reference good pop culture. A little of both."

"Kuchi is it, then." Revy said as Kuchi seemed to calm down.

"Well, it seems to really like you." The breeder said laughing it off. "And you got it paid for."

Rock had come up to Crimson and pointed him towards a Pokémon he had considered. A stand with a bunch of a quadruped, canine Pokémon with thick, white fur that covers their black bodies apart from its paws and faces. The fur is thicker and fluffier around their heads and tails. They had round, red eyes with blue eyelids, a pointed snout with a round, light blue nose, and long rectangular ears.

"Fufrou, the Poodle Pokémon. Trimming its fluffy fur not only makes it more elegant but also increases the swiftness of its movements. Historically, in the Kalos region, these Pokémon were the designated guardians of the king. While their fur can be trimmed it cannot last for long, a good cut can least a week, but a high-quality cut last as long as a month. It only lets people it trusts cut its hair." Dex Bulma chimed.

"I think I've chosen." Rock said amused coming up to the stand where one Fufrou came up to him licking his face. "Because it chose me."

"I'll pay for it." Crimson said going over to the breeder.

After he paid for it, the breeder got the Fufrou out of the pen to its new trainer.

"I'm so excited to finally leave the herd and go on an adventure!" Fufrou said skipping around Rock's feet.

"Here. It's a Luxury Ball, consider it a freebie for you don't have to pay for." Crimson said handing him the ball. "Now gently tap it with the ball."

Rock did so with the capture being said and done to which Rock let it out. The group had gone back up to the dining area for lunch after Balalaika wound up buying a Fufrou as well. This time, Crimson ended up in the VIP dining area to which it was explained he could access.

"You got a fire-breathing dragon!" Revy said gaping like a fish at the sight of Kimiko. "I take back most of the nasty things I thought. Please tell me you can get me one."

"Later, I need to deal with Rock here." Crimson said scanning his Fufrou. "Ok, we got a male, Quirky nature, Fur Coat ability, at about level 15, and it's move are: Headbutt, Sand Attack, Snarl, and Tackle. You nicknaming it?"

"Quincy." Rock said flat as Quincy was in his lap. "I heard your little speech."

"Nice to…" Crimson said as he spied a commotion over at the entrance.

"Oh, come on, you can't let us pass." Joe protested as Rusty was trying not to look at Ruckus's face.

"You little brats. Can't you read Frenchy, VIP and their guests only!" Uncle Ruckus said.

"And you need to go back to school, Ruckus. They're guests of mine." Crimson said coming up.

"Of course, they are." Ruckus said sarcastically. "You and your minority pride parade. All you need a retard and you're…GUHH!"

Rusty had punched him in the stomach having had enough of him before rejoining Crimson.

"Balalaika, I'd like you to meet my lieutenant. My Cardinal Dragons so to speak. Rusty Beige and Joe Rogers. Guys, this is Balalaika." Crimson said making niceties.

"Well knowing you, this makes sense. You always did pick the wildest of women." Joe joked. "But it's a pleasure to meet."

"Charmed." Rusty said.

"So, how was the bounty battling?" Misty asked.

"I had to deal with Cardin too. But I sent Sahara out and he just gave up." Joe said with a snicker before letting out his Pokémon.

"Holy fuck, that's a big one." Revy said gawking at Sahara.

"Please tell me where I get one!" Revy/Balalaika said nearly unison.

"Well, you can't get them in the wild…unlike you're really unlucky. They can't be found in Kanto so easily, but it's lower evolved form, Larvitar, can be found much easily at Sevault Canyon." Dex Bulma rattled.

"Well where the fuck is that?" Revy crassly asked.

"You really need some manners, you dumb bitch." Dex Stocking remarked. "Fucking bitch, you aren't our owners."

"Sevault Canyon is found on Seven Island which is the one of the stops on the cruise." Dex Tashigi said being the only one to answer the question.

Balalaika gave an order to her men for when they got there to assist in getting her a Larvitar.

"Well, now that you have Revy and Rock ready as trainers, you can pay me back for my services. In due time, of course. I want to make those two can at least take on a Gym Leader." Crimson said while enjoying his lunch.

The day was spent enjoying the ships amenities with a few more battles in-between with Joe, Rusty, and Crimson making sure to fully use their Box Link to switch it up to allow everyone a shot at a fight. Dinner was an awkward affair as Crimson had to deal with being on the same table with his old classmates and the Seacrest neighbors.

"Me and my big fuckin' mouth. I could have had dinner in the VIP room, but no, I had to say I knew Oak." Crimson muttered.

"You all right, Crimson?" Gwen asked.

"Gwen, I got the Wunclers looking at me as a golden goose. The first one at least, I'm pretty sure the second one wants to kill me, and third one wants to fight me." Crimson grumbled. "Plus, I want to choke Ruckus so bad."

"Don't worry, it went get any worse." Gwen said as Crimson drank his tequila.

Gilbert showed up and Crimson got up.

"What do you want, Gilbert? If it's a battle, you can piss right off. I'm not in the fucking mood." Crimson snarled.

"Why? Because you'll lose. " Gilbert said before Crimson turned to glare at him.

"No, it's because the only reason you want to fight me so bad is to prove to your father that you're not useless, but it seems he'd rather have me for a son because he can't be bothered to tell you that it's proud of you. Rei fucking hates her family, but he'll say she's a "prodigy". And then there's you, a feckless fucker who can only lash out at the world because oba and oji didn't give you any love." Crimson said heatedly as everyone just stared in shock.

Crimson got up and left leaving a stuttering Gilbert to 'not' break down. Elsewhere, Rusty was heading to his room only to hear crying. He spied Leanne sitting on a bench with her knees up to her face sobbing. Lumi could see her master's expression soften and she sighed. Rusty and her walked up as Rusty sat next to Leanne.

"Leanne, what's wrong?" Rusty asked.

"Did you come to gloat?" Leanne said sniffling. "I bet you find this so funny."

"You're bawling like one of your Pokémon di-Oh…oh I'm so sorry." Rusty said as Leanne let her knees down.

"The nurse had went on break when I got there and…Raticate….didn't make it in time for me to get medicine." Leanne said. "He's dead and all because I was arrogant bitch. I should have just taken your help!"

"From the fact you're all alone, I don't think Sazandora and Cardin were not any help." Rusty remarked.

"No. Sazandora went it was all my fault for not beating you and Cardin sided with her. Fuckin' asshole." Leanne said glumly. "I don't even know what to do now. I don't know if I can keep being a trainer or even stay at Pokémon Tech."

"I'm sorry I wasn't more persistent in getting your Raticate help. No, I let my anger put me to storm off." Rusty said as Lumi tried to point out he should not take so much blame.

"And that's the thing, you're still bothering to show kindness to me despite being so mean to you." Leanne said as she felt more guilty.

"Look, if you retire from Trainer life, that's your choice. But you need to use this death to learn a good lesson from it and push ahead. If you really need a school to help in your development, take my advice, and try Kassai. It's run by a Gym Leader who knows her salt." Rusty said kindly giving her his number. "If you want to consider it, call me. She wanted to give me a scholarship to the school, but I passed. Maybe you could go in my place."

"I'll think about it." Leanne said petting Lumi. "Thank you."

As Rusty and Lumi, she looked out at the number and got out her phone. She was not going to call him yet but decided to call home. Crimson had found the ship that a few hot springs and in the midst of soaking in one.

"Finally, some peace and quiet." Crimson said only to sense another presence.

Jessie was in the spring as she looked after at Crimson before screeching a cacophony of noise.

"Don't you see this spring is for women only?!" Jessie screeched.

"Can't you read kanji, Jessie? It clearly says mixed bathing!" Crimson said pointing to the sign. "And I'm not leaving."

Jessie growled but relented. They sat in the water sharing a small bottle of sweet sake in silence before a bit of conversation.

"So, Jessie, you and James a thing now or what?" Crimson asked as Jessie blushed bright red.

"I could ask the same about you and that redhead." Jessie sniped.

"We're just friends. We hadn't hooked up yet, but that's because I don't know if she wants to." Crimson said coolly. "But from that blush on your face, you two like each other."

"As if." Jessie said. "He's not the kind of man I want in a relationship. He needs to be strong, cultured, rich, and…stop smirking!"

"Please, keep describing me." Crimson joked.

"Ugh, you weren't so good, I'd have you crushed." Jessie touted.

"I am literally the reason you got to go on this cruise." Crimson said flatly.

Jessie had to admit he was right on that, and it was back to silence.

"So…I saw you were on Big Shots." Jessie remarked. "I guess being the son of two big shots makes sense given you're such a pain."

"Why didn't you try your luck?" Crimson asked.

"I wanted to, but James insisted we trained, and we'd be outing ourselves as Rockets." Jessie said with a sigh. "Plus, I fought Turbine today and lost. She handed me my ass. For what it's worth, you're a good teacher. I almost wish you were teaching on Pokémon Tech years ago."

"Oh right, that dump. There's a bit of a reason I have the "sensei" air. I was a graduate of Kassai, a trainer's school down in the island. I was among their youngest to graduate." Crimson mused. "But honestly, it's all a blur to me. Here I am with a Rocket Grunt talking on the bases of our morality and pasts."

Jessie rolled her eyes and left with Crimson eyeing her discretely.

"I do have to ask you, Jessie. For someone who clearly loves their Pokémon and truly cares, how long can you shove your morals down as Team Rocket blatantly abuses, experiments, and exploits Pokémon for profit? I wonder when the day will come when the boss asks to use one of yours to experiment on." Crimson said icily as Jessie froze paling. "Can you bear to do it for the sake of loyalty?"

"That won't hap…pen." Jessie stammered.

"Stammering? Yeah, that's real confident sign. Domino pretty much sold you and James out and I won't be surprised if the grunts on this ship having been watching you both planning on who gets Pokémon of yours. They're probably going kill you both first…or worse." Crimson said coldly.

Jessie was shaking and she shuffled out of there.

"I expected Jessie's ass to be fatter…but it's…not. I guess all…the running I guess." Crimson thought.

"Excellent work. I swear you were part Russian with all that ice in your voice." Balalaika said coming out in just a towel. "That little zasranets couldn't even defend herself. I hope you don't mind me joining."

"Sofiya, you're free to do so. Your scars are a mere reminder that you're not one to be trifled with." Crimson said as she tossed off the towel to get in. "And you still have your good looks."

"Must be you be the ever-present charmer." She said getting out a lighter and cigar out of the bag she carried with it on the edge of the springs. "But you don't want to mix business and pleasure. You certainly don't want me as your first go at it."

"I already long lost my virginity, Sofiya, and I've had several flings. Being a trainer does lead to some chances for intimacy." Crimson said confidently. "And I have a thing…for strong women. And you all fit the bills."

She did not expect this aura of confidence and blew out some smoke.

"Tell you what, I'll hold you to that offer, but not today. I don't think you're ready for this." Balalaika said as she thought, "Give him a few years to cook."

Soon enough, she left as Crimson pouted.

"Damn it, I was hoping I'd probably get laid here." Crimson muttered. "But I get Jessie and a cockblock. Stupid sexy scarred Sofiya."

Crimson got out, dressed, and headed off before finding Misty who wanted to talk in private. The two went up to Crimson's suite.

"There's something I need to admit to you, but first I'm letting you know. I found out about your sexual trysts." Misty said as Crimson gulped. "Which I am not too mad at…Aya had told me that you thought highly of me. I came to realize you didn't want to make our friendship awkward."

Crimson relaxed.

"But I am a little peeved that you're out and about, when you never…asked me." Misty said red-faced. "I get why you did though, but I won't lie, that the thought of you being my first has crossed my mind."

"I'm glad you're not upset. Of course, sex with you isn't something I'd say no, but tell me how long you considered me." Crimson asked as Misty pouted.

"Ok, it was after you left to go to Cape." Misty said still blushing. "But what about you? From what Turbine said, your first was a redhead."

"To be fair, she asked me." Crimson teased gently lifting Misty's chin. "But now, I'm going to ask you."

"Crimson, don't be romantic. We're literally going to get our rocks off." Misty said sheepishly. "Because you've been galivanting around…ignoring me."

Misty shoved Crimson on the bed playfully.

"Was I ever in your thoughts?" Misty said kicking off her sandals.

"You forgot I have a thing for tomboys? You were on the mind, but I can't just check out my best friend all the time." Crimson said playfully as her shorts came down. "But I certainly gaze on you now."

"I wonder if you hoped I'd wear this." Misty teased climbing up on him. "When you brought this."

"I knew you'd look fab, but there's something on your lip." Crimson said giving her a surprising kiss.

Misty returned as their hands wandered on each other as it was something, they equally fantasized about in one wet dream or another. Both were a bit clumsy, for Misty being a first, and for Crimson being it was Misty. Their clothes piece by piece would hit the floor before they were bare in front of each other.

"Well, I can see why Aya spoke of you well. If I seen this sooner, maybe I'd try to keep you for myself. Definitely away from my sisters. They'd never let me have a turn. Of course, you wouldn't dare sleep with them, would you?" Misty said taking a dark tone squeezing Crimson's balls.

This turned him all the more on as he swooned at her attempt on dominating.

"Misty, why would I when I'm in the heat of the moment with the sexiest Sensational Sister…" Crimson said cut off by Misty saying with a blush, "Ok ok, I believe you. Look, how about we take this to the hot tub?"

"Go on ahead, I need to post one of Pokémon to watch the door. I do not want to be interrupted." Crimson said.

"Maybe I should get one out as well." Misty said getting Crimson's overshirt to cover up. "Do I really look that hot in your clothes? You look like you are ready to burst."

Crimson slipped on his shorts before Misty sent out Risa.

"Risa, I need you to guard the door outside. No one's to bother us." Misty said as Crimson sent out Rhint.

"Rhint, I need you do to the same. Don't let anyone get to that door." Crimson said flatly.

Rhint and Risa looked at each other and at them.

"You two going to fuck?" Risa asked as Misty blushed leading to Crimson shoving both of them outside. "Wait, did you just push two…"

SLAM! Crimson slammed the door shut and locked in before throwing off his shorts. He carried Misty to that hot tub as she tossed off the overshirt.

"Don't worry about a hymen…I tore that already." Misty said readying herself. "Now, give it...OOHHH!"

Crimson went for the plunge. Misty was a long-time crush for many and a pure original waifu. For Crimson, Misty was his "original" waifu behind a few others. Misty was in his top 10. Being with her only made her appreciate her more. He had not expected her to be open to this, but he was all for it. Her back was on the edge of the tub as he tugged at her nipples.

"Good thing we skipped the foreplay…" Crimson breathed out fondling Misty's chest.

Misty wrapped her around him pulling her closer. Granted even if it was nighttime, a few onlookers did catch them in midst of their trysts. Balalaika was peeping on them admittingly impressed.

"Ok, maybe I could have said yes." She said before going back inside.

Neo was blatantly watching; Crimson knew she was as he could sense her not too far away. This just drove Crimson to go faster, and Misty proved to be a screamer.

"That fuckin' tease!" Neo thought. "It's my job to tease him."

"Oh Arecus, right there. Keep go-" Misty said as her phone rang. "Oh, come the hell on!"

She did not want to answer it, but then she saw it was her sisters. She groaned, both from Crimson's pounding and frustration, and answered it.

"What is it? I'm busy…the gym better be fire!" Misty snarled.

"What got up your ass?" Violet sniped. "I just wanted your help. Please tell Daisy to stop making us work too hard! Plus o…"

"Are you shitting me? I'm busy at the moment." Misty said trying to suppress her moans.

"Doing what exactly?" Violet said only for Crimson to put her phone on speaker.

"Violet, Misty and I are having a moment. I really want to fuck this woman, so call back tomorrow." Crimson said as Violet could only sputter.

Crimson hung up on her and kept going. Misty pouted as she wanted to keep that secret, but Crimson kissed her neck.

"I wanted to make sure she would not call back, but I guess I should have turned it off." Crimson moaned out. "I'm getting pretty close. I'm going to pull out."

"Just not my face." Misty said as Crimson got it out in time to spray out….only for it to go over the rails. "Oh shit!"

Crimson was blissful in his climax only to realize that he sent his sperm flying over the railing.

"Ah gross, a bird shit on me!" Gilbert whined spitting out a bit of it. "Got in my mouth."

"Judging from the smell and viscosity, that's not excrement." Professor Oak said awkwardly.

"That's sperm." Delia said bluntly as it dribbled down his head.

Gilbert screamed bloody murder as Crimson's panic give away to laughter. Misty had deal with laughing and the afterglow of her orgasm as Gilbert screamed every obscenity in the book. Misty and Crimson hid back into the room with Crimson closing the curtains and sliding door.

"Well, that when well." Crimson said as Misty panted. "But I don't think I heard you squirt yet. Up for a licking?"

Rhint and Risa could hear them going at it and sighed.

"Want to sneak off, plow, and get some snacks?" Risa asked.

"Had me at fucking." Rhint said excitedly.


(A/N: It took 46 chapters, but Crimson and Misty finally had their moment. I apologize that I had to re-edit older chapters again. I had to fix chapters 2, 27, and 42-45 because of really bad spelling and grammars that I should not missed. I also had to fix 41, but I got the edits on that already. Originally, Lindsay was supposed to show up in the hot spring. But I passed in favor of Misty. Normally, I'd post a few chapters in advance. However, because there's so many errors that needed to be fixed, you're only getting one chapter this month.)
