(Cape Brink, Two Island | April 28th | 10:00a.m.)
The St. Anne was soon to pull into port as Crimson was excited to get off the ship for a bit secretly knowing excitedly why. Crimson was readying himself fixing his clothes. He wore a red Splatter Paint T-Shirt under his jacket, a pair of Cuffed Jeans, a pair of red Short Boots, a black bandana around his neck, his fingerless gloves, and his Mega Band, and his usual weighted gear. He got his things together and decided downstairs having already eaten breakfast. He felt rater good having trained with Tank, Tessa, and Atlas yesterday, while using Rare Candies to even out the levels. Now this whole team was on level 40 and he felt rather secure for it. However, he entered the business with a goal in mind which is try he dragged Misty up to Cape Brink.
"So, why are we here?" Misty said. "You wanted to show me a house?"
"Not just any house, but who lives in it? An old sage who guards the ultimate moves that are passed down the bloodline for starter Pokémon, the most raw and primal power for Fire, Water, Grass." Crimson said excitedly.
"Ok, you know your shit. Clearly, you are worthy!"
The two looked up on the see an older lady standing on the roof. Despite her wrinkled face and grey hair tied up, her body was of a slender woman in her prime. She wore a white kimono, decorated with red symbols. In addition, she wears a pair of sandals and long white socks. Worn Poké Balls adorned her belt along a katana as she leapt down.
"I am Belinda Boon, but you may call be 'Ultima'." Ultima stated. "You're clearly the son of that reckless Outlaw from years past."
"Yes, that is true." Crimson said with a bow. "I have come to learn the ultimate power."
"Normally, I would be testing you, but I will make exception on favor for the Outlaw. A true shame he vanished from this world…" Ultima said cryptically before brushing it off for the training.

(Boon Town, Two Island | April 28th | 11:00a.m.)
"Man, why wouldn't he battle me?" Ash said disappointed. "I keep asking Crimson to battle me, but either something gets in the way or he brushes it off."
"Maybe he's intimidated by you?" Delia said trying to raise his spirit.
What would scare everyone was this statement got Rei to break her stoic usual to laugh. It was a dry guttural laugh, and she was not the only one laugh. Heather, Joe, and Rusty were trying to be respectful and hold back their laughter. Gary and Giselle just shook their heads.
"Ms. Ketchum, don't lie to him." Lindsay said bluntly. "You'll give him an ego he doesn't deserve."
"Yeah, Crimson doesn't want to fight you because he knows he'll win." Heather said firmly. "And considering you've haven't beaten any of us or Gary, I doubt you will."
"Actually, I beat Gilbert." Ash said sheepishly.
"So? Everyone's kicked his ass." Heather said haughtily.
"Man, fuck all of you!" Gilbert snapped. "Why everybody got to rag on me? I don't see you bitches giving Ash or Crimson shit."
"Maybe it's because of your rotten attitude." Delia said coldly.
Gilbert stormed off for the ship with a huff as Joe shook his head. Rusty sensed something and looked into the distance.
"Bro, what's wrong?" Joe asked as eyes went tense.
"Real bad company." Rusty said pointing out the incoming airship. "I certainly owe Crimson thanks for teaching me how to sense life energy."
The airship landed in the center of town opening up to reveal a ton of goons come down making way for the two clearly in charge, a couple so it seemed. The woman was a tall one with short silver hair with hard blue eyes under her dark blue visor wearing a dark red fingerless bodysuit, dark purple overcoat, and dark red thigh-high boots. A strange laser cannon was attached to her right with a cord running on a metal node on her back.
The man with his was just as tall with auburn hair with streaks of brown. A whitish-tan mask that obscured his upper face above his nose hide his eyes. Japanese horn-like symbols decorated the front of the mask, and it had two slits on each side to allow for vision. He wore an asymmetrical black, long-sleeved, double-breasted stylized high-collared blazer with slit sleeves along with red thorn sigils adorned with a white crest that lined up on his left shoulder. His blazer was buttoned up only showing hints of a red shirt. He wore long black dress pants, black shoes with red soles, and black gloves with Ω marked on them. A sheathed sword rest on his side.
"Commander J, Commander A, we have arrived at Two Island." One of the henchmen said bowing at the knee.
"I can see that dumbass." J said coldly. "Now, my men, you have your orders. Leave no witnesses alive. We're going after our target. I want this place burned to the ground by the time we're back from the cape."
"Yeah…excuse me?" Rusty said getting their attention. "Are you just going to pretend we can't hear you? Because clearly you don't know who you're messing with."
J laughed at him only for a little girl to fling a rock at J that missed her and hit her ship.
"You wouldn't be coming here if the Outlaw was here. He'd kick your ass!" She said proudly as J laughed even louder.
"The Outlaw? Oh, I'm so scared." J said sarcastically before ordering one of her goons to kill the child.
The goon produced the unholy union of a taser and baton to bludgeon the child only for that child's father to tackle the child to safety allowing for Nox to unleash Flamethrower in the goon's face.
"What, you think I was going to sit down and let you do what you want? Yeah, I don't think so." Rusty said as Nox yipped.
"But it's one of you and all of us." J said as A had chuckled.
"No, it's not." Rusty said with a smirk. "You're messing with one of the heads of Black Dragon. I'm just holding the line for the leader."
[Cues: One Piece OST – The Very Very Very Strongest]
Kimiko let out a roar as she rained flames as several of the goons before landing on the ground allowing for Crimson and Misty to get off. Ultima came down on her Dragonite.
"Ah, Ultima. You have saved me the trouble of looking for you. All I want are your Pokémon and your scrolls, my client wishes for them." J said with a smirk. "Of course, if you wish for them to taken off your corpse, that can be arranged."
"So, my old enemy has hired the likes of you. Too limp-wristed to do it himself!" Ultima taunted.
"Well well, Pokémon Hunter J…it's wait, Adam Taurus?" Crimson thought before brushing the thoughts off to speak, "Well, if it isn't Pokémon Hunter Jackass."
"Hunter J." J said firmly.
"Doesn't matter. What matters is you're in my turf. My father, the Outlaw himself, purged the land of criminal scum who dare pick on the weak. Even then, Kanto is under the protection of the Black Dragons." Crimson said unsheathing Daimonji.
"Ha! You and what army?" J asked only Crimson to get backed up by his friends. "Oh, I'm so scared of a bunch of children."
J and Adam both turned around walking inside the ship telling the goons to deal with the town. Joe wanted to mouth off, but Rusty stopped him as the ship door closed. The ship raised into the air.
[Music Ends]
"All right, you group of punks. Hand over your Pokémon nicely and maybe we won't beat you to death." One goon said only to get glares. "Well I guess we're going in the hard way."
The goons sent out a trio of Crobats, a Golbat, several Skarmory, and several Metangs. Crimson gritted his teeth as Dex Bulma let out everyone.
"Kimiko, Blast Burn!" Crimson said triggering her Mega Evolution.
"Mauna Loa, use Blast Burn!" Ultima said as her Typloshion roared. "Everyone, get around back!"
[Cues: One Piece OST – Zoro's Theme]
"Burning fire from within, I call forth our primal power!" Mauna Loa and Kimiko said in unison.
The flame on Kimiko's tail grow hotter and massive burning a raw white along with the flames on the jaws. Mauna Loa's flames on its back glowed white before they were both consumed in flames burning with an intense heat.
"Holy shit!" Ash's Pikachu said sweating at the heat they gave off.
But then everyone looked to Crimson whose aura was flaring appearing a red flame flickering off his body. He was unaffected by the heat.
"The aura burns strong with this one!" Ultima thought with glee.
"You asked for the hard way, now we'll give it to you!" Crimson said as he and Kimiko said in sync, "Blast Burn!"
What released was a massive explosion that rocked the island damaging homes, the ground around them, bits of J's ship, and had essentially wiped the army out along with the goons. They all were in the form in pain screaming for the burns on their body.
"What the fuck was that?!" Giselle said horrified. "What kind of move was that?!"
"The ultimate fire move. The most powerful one in existence…well it used to be. Now it's…third strongest, but still, it draws from an ancient source." Crimson said as Kimiko returned her base form panting from use. "Return and rest."
[Music Ends]
He returned her knowing that the explosion would attract the ship down with it did. J and Adam came out to see all their goons and their Pokémon screaming in agony with scorch marks everywhere. One goon crawled to her, but she kicked his face in before spitting on him for good measure.
"All I did was waste good men. Regardless, I think I'll just have to take you on my…" J said only for Adam pull her down to dodge an Ice Beam.
"Oh no, oh hell no! I am going to stand by and not stick it up for my islands. I failed the first time, but never again." Lorelei said as her team surrounded her.
J assumed that the rest of the Elite Four were not far behind. While the client gave her decent pay, it was not worth risking her neck against the likes of Lance. Thus, she promptly decided retreating was an option, but Adam stopped her.
"That sword he has. I want it." Adam said glaring at Crimson.
"Do you really want to risk the rest of the Elite Four coming back on us?" J asked.
"Oh, they won't. Because if he's a real swordsman, he'd fight unless that sword is just for show." Adam said as Crimson twirled Daimonji.
"Nobody in the way, this one is mine." Crimson said stone-faced stepping up. "If he wants my sword, he'll have to take it from me."
"Just try not to die." Joe said as Crimson nodded.
Crimson was not kidding himself; he knew was Adam was strong on the pecking order. Even if he was nerfed, but if he got disarm him…he may be able to win. The air was quiet and tense.
"Your sword smells of blood." Crimson said icily.
"So, does yours." Adam shot back.
[Cues: Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4 - "Sansukumi"]
They dashed towards one another; their blades locked in a clash. The ensuing maelstrom of action sees both parrying the other's sword swipes though with Crimson showing a bit more struggle with Adam. Crimson hated to admit it, but Adam was impressive. He did feel the similar shiver he had when he had fought Domino and meet Neo. Adam leapt back and swinging his sword to fire a crescent shockwave which Crimson had cut through to protect innocents taking a lot of force.
"Your incessant need to protect the weak will be your undoing." Adam said coldly.
"Only proves you're a little bitch who can't fight straight up." Crimson taunted before sigh. "But I'm guilty of this as well."
Adam raised an eyebrow asking for an explanation only to see Crimson silently sheathe Daimonji and removed weighted bands.
"Oh shit. He's going to actually fight without those things!" Morticia said horrified.
"Why does that sound like a bad thing, Morticia?" Joe asked.
"Because he has NEVER removed them! He wears them all the time except when he's bathing or in bed. All his fights thus far, he wore the weights. Now he's taking them off!" Morticia said as Tessa jeered, "Kick his ass!"
Crimson was still quiet deciding to let the action do the talking speeding toward Adam. Adam slashed at him only for Crimson to flip over it and come down on Adam with a dive kick on the back his neck sending Adam to the ground. Adam sprang up as they began to clash blades again. While Crimson could well match Adam's speed, it was clear that Adam was superior with a blade given Crimson had a few more cuts on his body than Adam did.
Crimson leapt back channeling aura causing Daimonji's blade to break out into a torrent of flames. Adam looked with interest before coming a realization.
"You're one of them, an auric. Well, now this certainly give the Outlaw legend a bit more validity…I…" Adam said before cutting off by the one of the henchmen who stayed on the ship.
[Music Abruptly Stops]
"J, A! We have an issue…our client's check bounced."
"What?!" J and Adam said in unison.
The henchman revealed that the check bounced because the money used for it was stolen. Normally, this would not be an issue for not for the fact whoever was victim of that theft raised a stink meaning J's bank had to not accept the check. J was furious being this meant it was all a waste of time and money.
"Husband, dear. Pack it up, we're leaving!" J said turning to leave. "Now!"
"But, I was…" Adam said only for J to screech now. "Yes, dear."
"Whipped, much?" Crimson slyly said only to get kicked in the head. "Worth it!"
Adam joined his wife not before saying that it was for the best, they never meet up again or else Crimson was going to die to them. Crimson silently watched them go and sighed as he put back on his weights.
"Crimson, I'm pretty sure you're rather lucky." Rusty remarked.
"I know, and I need to keep up my training if I want to rely less on luck and more on skill." Crimson said firmly. "I'm glad he did not send any Pokémon against or that J just sent her lackeys."
"Speaking of them…she left them behind." Joe said pointing out some were still alive.
Those left behind were promptly arrested by Officer Jenny and Lorelei. The whole incident was strange, and the impact did not really last because it was dealt with so quickly. Ultima had laugh at the irony of it all, but Crimson need to ask who wanted to kill her so bad.
"An old enemy from a desolate region." Ultima said steely.
"Oh, so Orre, then?" Crimson said dryly.
"My family and the Verich family have been at war for decades. Their cruelty is only matched by the head's greed." Ultima said with a sigh. "I don't know if they'll try to come after me again, but for now, you need more training. I've seen you in action with a blade. Come. I can't just let an auric who is worthy not be trained."
"Wait, you're going to train me, take Rusty with me too. He's got aura, and I've been training him." Crimson said as Ultima nodded.
As they left for the cape, Ash pouted that he was going to try to ask Crimson to challenge much to Joe pointing out that was a really bad idea. Ash was defiant saying he believed he could win. So, after Ultima taught Crimson a bit of her sword-fighting style and both him and Rusty in better use of their aura, Crimson and Rusty returned to the ship both a bit winded. Crimson was ready for dinner for Ash to come up.
"Crimson, I challenge you a Pokémon battle!" Ash said dramatically.
"No." Crimson said bluntly.
"You can't just deny a challenge." Ash responded.
"Fight us, damn it!" Ash's Pikachu said sparking electricity.
"You know what? Fine, I accept. A two on two match." Crimson said annoyed.
Crimson was not in the mood. He liked Ash, but Crimson knew he could not just avoid him forever. If anything, Crimson thought, maybe beating him will teach him a lesson. And if Ash wanted to fight him so bad, so be it. Not before long, Ash and Crimson were in the arena with a small crowd watching. Heather had agreed to referee the fight.
[Cues: Pokémon Anime OST – Burning Battlefield]
"Clefable, back up Pikachu!" Ash said sending his Clefable as Pikachu jumped into action.
"I've wanted to fight by your side, Mr. Pikachu." Clefable said politely as Pikachu gently said the politeness was unneeded.
He decided to simply get Pokémon to deal with this quickly and sent out Sir Jett and Lady Morticia. Joe even remarked that Ash was screwed, and the crowd seem to begrudgingly agree.
"Pikachu, how good it is to see you. No hard feelings." Morticia said kindly.
"We're going to have to kick your ass." Jett said
"Don't be so sure!" Pikachu said with electricity sparking on his cheeks.
"Let the slaug-I mean battle begin!" Heather said as Ash had Pikachu open with Thunderbolt.
"Morticia, Phantom Force. Jett, tank the attack." Crimson said as Morticia vanished.
Lazily, Jett let the electric attack hit as it harmlessly dissipated.
"Did you forget I was a Ground-type?" Jett asked as Pikachu facepalmed.
The realization that Jett was a Ground type had hit sooner, but then he remembered that he was also part Dark.
"Pikachu, Brick Break! Clefable, Dazzling Gleam!" Ash said as Crimson looked more awake.
"Morticia! Back me up!" Jett said as Pikachu came at him with glowing fists.
"Jett, Crunch! Morticia, give Clefable a hello." Crimson said Morticia returned from Phantom Force slamming Clefable into the ground.
CRUNCH! Pikachu found his head trapped as he spazzed out to break free using Thunderbolt to little avail.
"Incinerate." Crimson said lazily as Pikachu was blasted point blank with a blast of fire and hit the ground out cold leaving Clefable alone.
Crimson wasted no time ensuring Clefable was quickly taken down.
[Music Ends]
One she was knocked out, he relaxed as Ash fell to his knees in shock.
"I lost…we barely started." Ash stammered.
"To be fair, I had a few levels over you. Plus, I wasn't taking the fight seriously at first until you woke me up in a sense." Crimson said relaxing returning both his Pokémon. "You're getting there, Ash. I just happen to be a bit more ahead."
He tossed Ash two Max Revives before leaving. Ash insisted about the pay, but Crimson told him to keep the money. Crimson left really wishing he could listen to his chill-hop music.
"But no…it's 2003. Full of shitty pop music from Disney." Crimson thought morosely. "Oh well, at least there's MJ."
After dinner, Crimson was up in his room playing video games in bed. If there were one consolation to being in the early 2000's was video games. He bought himself a Gameboy Advanced SP one that was Charizard orange. He felt drawn to get a purple one, but the orange one with a Charizard one got him all giddy. He was in the midst of playing Sonic Advance blazing through the levels while jamming out to the in-game music.
"I wonder if I can use my knowledge to warn SEGA not to make the Sonic series a complete joke….nah too much effort." Crimson thought as his Pokémon were all watching television.
A knock at the door got Crimson to ask one of his Pokémon to answer the door. Tank lumbered over and opened it to door to see Misty come in all giddy going on about how Lorelei was on the ship and how cool she was.
"She's your hero, right?" Crimson said producing the autograph photo. "I got it addressed to you."
Never thought he'd hear Misty squee or her tackling hugging him in gratitude.
"Thank you! Thank you! When did you even…" Misty asked as Crimson answered, "Remember that Magikarp selling asshat? Yeah, well Lorelei was hunting the bastard and I got to him first. I even got her number."
"Thanks, Crimson. But how did you even kno-Actually, never mind that. It's near common knowledge." Misty said as Crimson kept playing. "What are you even doing?"
"Playing on my new SP." Crimson said not even looking over at her. "Really getting into this game. In fact, I'm on the last level….and done. Beat it with Amy first."
"Hah! That cat never learns." Jett said laughing as Crimson noticed they were watching Tom and Jerry cartoons.
"So Misty, any other reason you came to see me?" Crimson asked.
"Just that. I'm going to hit up the hot springs before the spa." Misty explained as Crimson raised an eyebrow. "What? You didn't know we had a hot spring?"
"No, not that. The spa, actually. I think I may go the spa. I could use a rub down." Crimson said getting up. "And so, could my team."
"I'll take up on that offer." Tank remarked as Jett nodded.
He returned those two to their balls and left with Misty leaving the rest of his team to watch television and rest up. Crimson entered the spa area to which the lady leading the counter asked for his ID. Upon giving it, she noted he was a VIP and asked if he wanted the specialty massage.
"As long as the two Pokémon brought with me, get the needed care." Crimson said sending back Jett and Tank.
Crimson would himself in just a towel laying on his stomach on a massage bed. He had reluctantly removed his weights. At the moment, he was back on his SP while waiting for the masseuse. After ten minutes, Crimson had not noticed the lapse, but after a half hour and beating the game again with Kunckles, he got annoyed.
"Where the hell is my massage therapist? It's been a half-" Crimson said only for someone to come in.
He immediately recognized her; the medium-length wavy black hair, brown eyes, plump lips, and her olive skin. Nani Pelekai was his masseuse.
"Wait, does this mean….questions for later." Crimson thought. "That sports bra and shorts almost make up for it."
"I'm so sorry that I'm late. I…" Nani said as the door opened again.
The lady at the desk showed up with Tank and Jett while asking if the masseuse had worked on him yet. Nani paled, but Crimson waved it off while discretely slipping his SP back in his bag.
"I wound up passing out for a nap when she arrived apparently, she didn't want to wake me up." Crimson said covering for her. "Thank you for returning my comrades."
Crimson promptly returned the two and handed Nani a 100 Poké Dollar bill to give to the lady at the door.
"Now I wish not to be disturbed while I have my massage." Crimson said kindly as the lady got the bill and left slamming the door shut.
[Cues: Kevin McLeod – Smooth Lovin']
Nani profusely thanked him for not getting her fired, but Crimson turned on his stomach leading for her to immediately working on his back.
"Yeah, I didn't exactly do it out of kindness…well partly out of it." Crimson said as he groaned in relaxation.
"I'll make sure you're all taken care of." Nani said working his back "But you're really tense."
"See that katana next to my things? I'm a martial artist and considering I'm in a lot of fights. I'm pretty tense." Crimson said relaxing.
"You certainly look the part." Nani said rubbing him down.
"You're no slouch yourself." Crimson cooed. "From the muscle tone, I'm going to take a guess. Swimmer?"
"I used to surf professionally. How did you guess?" Nani admitted getting the massage oil on his back.
"Martial arts teach you to read people, plus when you hang around the likes of Misty, you can tell bit by bit." Crimson said sagely.
"Wait, now I recognize you. You're the guy everyone was talking about selling off those Pokémon with Misty's help. My sister was on my case because I didn't get her a Gyarados or help her out to meet, but I was just too busy to take her." Nani remarked.
"I could introduce you to Misty. I'm pretty much traveling with her." Crimson said as he flipped over for her to get to his chest. "But I'm curious, what bring you here to work on a ship?"
He sort of already knew, but he could not just tell her that.
"My parents. I lost them and it just seemed to spiral out of control. Now I have to a parent to my little sister." Nani said as Crimson admitted he lost his as well. "My sympathies."
"I've moved on." Crimson said with a sigh. "I know what it's like to spiral out of it. I don't even know if my parents are dead or not, and I spent a year in a depressive funk. Got so deep that I barely remember that year, I just remember going in it and coming out of it."
"Haunting." Nani murmuring.
"For what it's worth, I came out of it stronger. Can't say I'd be so confident." Crimson said thoughtfully.
Nani realized she was still on his chest and moved downwards only for her to notice something poking her. She looked to realize that she had forgotten to properly adjust his towel when he turned over and he was clearly "happy" to see her. Nani stammered a bit only for Crimson to look to see what the fuss was.
"Oh…I didn't even notice…" Crimson said half-truthful. "Though to be fair, it's been a while."
"I didn't take you for being…active." Nani said with a blush.
"Martial artist or no, I certainly saw him eyeing me. Though, he's…certainly packing a loaded one." Nani thought.
"Well, yes, but I meant it's been a while since I've seen a girl of darker shades. I happen to be Kantonian." Crimson admitted. "And you did do a pretty good job."
"Poor choice of words there. You're quite mature, but you're still a brat." Nani teased. "Expecting a happy ending?"
"That depends to if I can get it. Would it return the favor you owe me, or would I have to grease your palms?" Crimson asked boldly.
Nani laughed at it.
"Well unless you have ties to the Kassai Institute to get my sister, I'd be more than willing." Nani joked as Crimson turned seriously. "Isn't something wrong?"
"No, I actually graduated from Kassai and my father's actions pretty much gives my family a lot of clout around the Sevii Islands. If you're looking to get your sister in school, I can literally make the call." Crimson said nonchalantly as Nani dropped her jaw.
"You're not serious, are you?" Nani asked. "You're joking."
"Ahem. Dex Bulma, access my phone and call Ms. Sofia for me please." Crimson said as Dex Bulma did as order. "Now, Miss Pelekai, take up my cell and give it to me."
Nani washed her hands and did so. Crimson put it on speaker.
"Moshi moshi." Sofia drawled.
"Ms. Gira, it's Crimson." Crimson said as Sofia perked up.
"Crimson! How are you doing? It's so good to hear from one of my past students." Sofia said kindly.
"Well, I wanted to call on a bit of business. There's someone wishing to enroll in the Institute, just wanted to pass on the word they may need financial aid." Crimson said as Sofia proudly let out a huff.
"If you're recommending them, they're a shoo-in to get in. I need a name to start research on the background." Sofia said as Crimson muted his phone.
"The name?" Crimson asked.
"Lilo." Nani whispered out as Crimson unmuted it.
"Lilo Pelekai. You should be seeing her and her older sister in a few days….we're all on the St. Anne." Crimson remarked.
"I'll start right away. You have a good night now." Sofia said before Crimson wished the same before hanging up.
"And no, I didn't do it to just get in your shorts. It's the right thing to do, and it's a bit of a school tradition to pass on what we learn to others. I just chose to do so on your sister." Crimson said smoothly.
"Thank you…" Nani mumbled. "Looks like times up."
"That's fine, and it's for the best." Crimson said getting up to get dressed.
"Wait, I can't exactly just let you walk away after you did all this for me." Nani said sheepishly. "I don't think I could exactly be all take and no give. So, maybe…I could continue to give a massage elsewhere."
[Music Ends]
Crimson accepted but wanted to at least meet Lilo first. As Crimson left refreshed, Nani got to laugh early on account of filling her hours 'early' thanks to Crimson's nap. Nani got her jacket and trainer handbag as they walked chatting along only to run into Joe.
"Yeesh, Crimson. How do you keep chatting it up with so many?" Joe said impressed.
"Charm." Crimson said humbly before walking off with Nani.
Nani did not expect to find Lilo out of the hotel room. Crimson noticed she did not look any different.
"Lilo! What are you doing out of the room?" Nani said worriedly.
"I got bored and I wanted to get out the stalls. I even played in the card games in merchant's place." Lilo said excitedly.
"With who's money?!" Nani said terrified.
Lilo took off her backpack and opened it to show that Lilo won big.
"I kept winning that they had to bribe me to leave." Lilo said revealing a Great Ball.
Out of it came a Litleo that mewled as Nani face faulted.
"They took me if I pulled out, I could keep it." Lilo said as Crimson laughed. "And who's this? Your boyfriend?"
"No."
"Your sugar daddy?" Lilo asked incuriously as Crimson was snickering.
Nani was red-faced telling her no.
"Your friend with benefits?" Lilo asked as Nani sputtered as Crimson was full on laughing.
"We just met!" Nani sputtered.
"Oh…so your one-night stand. Do I have to sleep on the balcony?" Lilo said as Nani looked mortified.
"Lilo, that's not going to be the case. I just met your sister and I wanted to help her out with getting you into Kassai." Crimson remarked. "I happen to be a graduate of the place."
"And you want to help us, why?" Lilo said with raised eyebrow.
"Hey, us minorities need to stick together." Crimson touted.
Lilo seemed to accept it much to Nani's relief. Crimson passed by his room first to get all his Pokémon and had Morticia send both Lilo and Litleo off to sleep with Hypnosis.
"I need a Pokémon who could do that. Would have saved me so much trouble." Nani said tucking her in as they left her room.
"I had Dex Bulma arrange a massage table to brought to my room." Crimson said as Nani blushed a bit. "Your sister's a riot."
"Ugh, I dread when she becomes a teenager or old enough to go out and train." Nani said with a sigh as Crimson saw the hotel maid with the table and oils at the door.
Crimson signed off on it and went it with Nani. Crimson closed the door and retuned Morticia before he began to disrobe before getting on the bed. Nani got to work rubbing him down. She was not exactly too annoyed he wanted her to finish the massage. She was late, after all.
"And considering he's pretty much assured me what I wanted, least I could do." Nani thought. "I wish he wore a towel over himself. I know I've seen it already, but it's…well distracting."
She had to turn around and she could not help but bite her lip seeing it.
"Never thought I'd be giving a happy ending before." Nani joked as Crimson chuckled. "Well, I shouldn't leave it all throbbing."
Her hand was on it giving it a light stroke getting a groan on Crimson. Nani stuck to work with her hand, as Crimson offered to return the favor.
"How kind, but I can't. I share a bed, and I rather not smell of sex." Nani said biting her lip. "Just relax and let me take care of you."
Crimson nodded and leaned back as Nani worked her fingers around his length. She sped up the pace. Unknown to her, Crimson could sense Neo was near and probably watching. Nani's quickening rhythm was heating things up as Crimson felt rather close already. He had been holding a bit back for a while.
"Nani, I'm almost there." Crimson said as Nani had an idea.
Shoving his face into her chest which was the golden ticket for him finish. What Nani did not expect was a stream of spunk that shot out and over the railing. SPLAT!
"Aah! Fuck! Again with this shit!" Gilbert said as spunk splattered on his head…again. "At least my mouth wasn't open."
What made it worse was he had shoved James out of his way, and he had not…it would have James getting soaked.
Crimson could hear Gilbert's screams and began laughing completely at ease. Crimson cleaned himself up and got himself a robe.
"Don't worry about what happened, this prick had it coming. Plus, this is the second time my sperm landed on his head. He's that unlucky, but you should go. That prick will be on a rampage. I'll call up someone to pick up the bed." Crimson mused. "And I'll keep my word on you and Lilo getting to meet Misty."
"You don't really act like you're from money sometimes." Nani said as Crimson laughed.
"Well, there's a reason for that. All the money my father had was put into his company, I cannot access that cash as it is for scientific funding, development, and research until I choose to run the business which I don't want to do. The money I have is…actually mostly my own from selling stuff." Crimson said sheepishly. "I just happen to be really good at business, ya know? I didn't even pay for this VIP room. Act of kindness got me it."
"And you're thinking that your act of kindness to me will come back to you?" Nani said going to wash her hands.
"Maybe so, maybe not. I can't call myself all around nice, but I can say being nice to the right people gets you far in life." Crimson said already changed into his sleepwear.
He hauled the massage bed of his room having called an orderly to pick it up. Nani came out the bathroom and got on her jacket. She bid him goodbye. As the door closed behind her, Neo came down on the railing.
"I would be mad at you, but I knew you have the balcony door open on purpose." Neo remarked.
"No, I just knew you'd be snooping around being a damn tease." Crimson said as Neo strode in.
She grabbed by the scruff of his robe whispering into his ear.
"I can't just spread 'em for anyone. Only the worthy get the privilege." Neo said heatedly. "And those in my interest…I can tell you want me, but I don't think you're ready for me yet."
"I figured." Crimson said only to be thrown. "Cripes!"
"Honestly, you're wonder why you have my interest. Aura users are rare…there's few of us. Your aura, however, feels unnatural. As if you were much stronger before, and you're regaining lost power." Neo said with a wry grin. "Frankly, it excites me to have a potential challenge. Sure, you're not the only auric, but Rusty's a bit of saint, Ash is too immature, and I don't think Delia all too my type yet. I need to watch her more."
The idea of Neo and Delia brought a rather pleasant thought that Neo noticed the change in Crimson! WHAP! Crimson squealed as, in a flash, Neo had her shoes off and was standing on him. Her foot planted on Crimson's crotch pushing down.
"Crimson, fantasizing about me and Delia? My, how naughty!" Neo said rubbing her foot on him. "Sweet to know I'm in your thoughts."
"Do you really think teasing me like this is wise? You don't mess with a Dragon." Crimson said with his eyes looking fierce.
"All I see is a cute lil' lizard." Neo teased.
Neo felt she was control…so when Crimson rose whirling her into his bed with him pinning her to his bed, she was swept off her feet. He whispered in her ear that it was not nice to be a little tease. Neo found herself carried out of his room before he went back in shutting the door.
"The fuck just happened?!" Neo said getting out of her stupor. "Did he just…?!"
(A/N: While Neo is still stronger than him, Crimson was able to get the jump on her. Neo's toying with him was going to get Crimson's nerves. As for Nani showing up, there's a reason for it. Because I put Recess in-universe, this means it also carries The Proud Family, Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long, and Lilo and Stitch. Thus, I figured I may trickle them in. Obviously, they're not all going to appear now or even in the Kanto series, but they are a viable possibility in the future.)
