Hi guys, here's the next chapter. This one is longer and has a bit more actions than the previous one, so I hope you will like it better.
I still don't own pokemon and good writting skill.
Next morning Max awakened, he opened his eyes to see May now on his chest, Dusk over one of his leg and Bonny and Scarlet at their usual place.
"Starting to get a little cramped here." Muttered lowly Max.
[Even if we were to sleep in a gigantic tent, we will all sleep stuck to you.] Said Scarlet with a slightly sleepily voice.
"Then another one won't be that necessary after all."
[Well, since we all can mate with you outside, which in my taste, is better, it's indeed not that important, but a bigger one won't be too much.]
"True. If someday I got a full team, they will probably need more space."
[Your intellect never ceases to impress me.]
"No thanks to you."
[Hmm, sweet talker as always.] Said Scarlet before giving her master a warm kiss.
"Could say the same to you." Said Max, making Scarlet stuck her tongue at him.
"Time to move then. Mayy, it's morning." Softly said Max while shaking her.
{Huggn… Already? Why does sleep time always pass that fast?} She said while yawning but not moving.
"There is always next 'sleep time'."
{It's too far.} Said May, getting slowly back to sleep again.
"Come on girl, don't be a lazy bone. You won't get stronger with that attitude."
{… Fine.} Reluctantly said May.
To get off her master, May rolled to her side. But unfortunately, she rolled over Bonny.
{H-hey… what's going on?} Said Bonny, awakened a bit roughly.
{Sorry Bonny, my fault.} Said May while lazily getting off her.
{Rhaa. I was doing a wonderful dream about me and master.}
"Really? What kind of dream?"
{Want to know later?} Seductively said Bonny.
"Why did I even ask?" Said Max, shaking his head.
{Because you like to care about me?}
"True. But now I care more about getting up."
{What's the rush master? Eager to leave us?} Said Scarlet while hugging him tenderly.
{Yes master. That's not very nice.} Added Bonny, doing the same.
"Hmmm…" Said Max, getting a bit uncomfortable.
"O-of course not… but we are kind of not alone." Said Max, pointing out at May that was looking at them a bit confused and Dusk.
{Dusk is a heavy sleeper, she won't even notice.} Said Bonny.
[And we can ask May to wait outside.]
"Hehe, the idea sounds appealing, but… maybe later?"
Bonny and Scarlet then looked at each other.
{Okay, later works for me.} Said Scarlet.
{Yes. We can be patient.} Said Bonny.
Both of them did a discrete mischievous grin than only the other saw with Max sighing in relief.
"Great. Let's eat and get back on track. If everything goes well, we should arrive at Zino City in the evening."
After both of them let go of him, Max sat up and shook Dusk to wake her up while Bonny goes to his packsack to withdraw the pokebites boxes of everyone.
"It's morning Dusk."
{… 'yawn' Okay master.} Said Dusk, waking up.
Wanting to stand up, she noticed that she was sleeping over her master's leg.
{S-sorry master.} She said, quickly getting off him.
"It's no big deal." He said, scratching her head fur.
After everyone had their breakfast, Max put back everyone in their pokeball, packed up their stuffs and got back on the road. As the day was passing, Max was getting a bit too excited to think about breaking for lunch, which didn't bother Scarlet that much. When they arrived to a more forested zone, Max noticed that she was a bit absent minded while he was walking and her levitating beside him.
"Still okay Scarlet?"
[Yeah, I was just wondering how you will manage to defeat your gym leader without me.]
"Well, I have my other three pokemon team that likes to battle."
[I don't really dislike battles master, but it's just to keep my blood from boiling. When other attacks me, it makes me turn into some kind of bloodlust monster.]
"Hmm, you did pretty well on the last gym."
[Please, that wasn't even worth a warm up, but I barely managed to contain my fury, so if I were to face pokemon that are a bit stronger…]
"Yeah… I think I get the idea."
[That must not be easy to deal with someone like me.] Said Scarlet, feeling a bit down.
"Easy or not, I don't care. You here for me and vice versa, that's all that matters."
[… I guess. Thanks master. I was scared at first when I had to reveal the true me, but if I knew that you will be that comprehensive…]
"I'm not a saint either, so I can slightly understand. If you say that you don't want to battle, you don't have to. Sorry about what I said."
[Don't sweat it master.] She said while petting a bit roughly her master's head.
[If I were to hold a grudge against you for every bad move you makes, I would be constantly mad since I meet you.]
"Really smooth."
[Hihi.] Giggled Scarlet.
After checking his watch, Max then stop in his track.
"Shit! We already are in the mid-afternoon. The girls must be hungry."
[You should be too.]
Max then paused a moment, only to feel hunger the second she said it.
"Oh, you're right."
After Max released his team, he goes on his packsack to take out foods.
"Sorry girls, I think I'm a bit overexcited and forgot about lunch."
{That's okay master, I wasn't especially hungry anyway.} Said May.
"So you don't want to eat?"
{Well, since we have stopped, might as well go for it.} She said while crossing her smalls arms.
Max then couldn't help but to think that she was just saying that so that he wasn't feeling too bad about it. After he handed to everyone their respective boxes, Max goes for his ration. As they were all eating, Max noticed that Bonny was not eating very fast, almost not at all.
"Not hungry Bonny?" Asked Max.
{Well, not really.} She said.
"Did you eat too much this morning?"
{No, it's just… I'm not feeling very well.}
"How come?"
{My stomach hurt a bit, like, being all knotted.]
Max then goes to Bonny and pressed his hand on her forehead, which made her blush a bit.
"Hmm, I don't feel any kind of fever, if it's where you check a Lopunny's temperature.
{I don't think I'm sick master, but I think it's because I'm feeling a bit nervous about the next gym battle you talk about.}
"Oh, that makes sense then. But why?"
{Not sure but…} Said Bonny, not really wanting to say more.
"But what?"
A bit reluctant, Max had to insist.
"Come on Bonny, you know that we care about each other enough not to hide something for the other."
{Okay but, don't get mad okay?}
"Now I'm mad because you thought I would get mad."
{… That doesn't make any sense master.] Said May.
"I know, I was just joking a bit."
{But I'm not master.}
"'sigh' Fine, sorry. What is that you are worried about?"
{I'm… worried to lose again.}
"… That's it? You were stressing for that?"
{I'm serious master.}
"I know but, why do you care so much about that. You know that I don't care that you win or not, I…"
{But I do master. I know that you will always love me whatever I'm a loser or not, but did you thought a second about what I wanted, what I felt?}
"…Hem… I…"
{I was almost annihilated in the last battle. How do you think that made me feel?}
"… Bad?"
{Yes master. I felt humiliated, almost worthless.} Said Bonny, getting a bit upset.
"Now calm down Bonny."
{No master. You can't understand, all you are doing is being behind and give orders. You don't have to deal with defeat like us pokemon do.} She said while getting up angrily, making her box fall on the ground.
Max then was only staring at her blankly, a bit hurt by her words. Realising what she had said, she ran toward to forest to be left alone.
['sigh' And here we go again. I'll bring her back.] Said Scarlet with a not so enthusiastic voice.
"I'll do it."
[No master. I think she needs another pokemon to 'understand' her.]
"But…"
[Trust me, there is nothing you can do for her at this moment.]
Scarlet then headed toward where Bonny ran.
Sighing, Max goes to a tree, sat and waited for Bonny and Scarlet to come back, followed by May and Dusk.
{I can understand how Bonny feel.} Said Dusk.
{I too feel a bit nervous for the next battle.}
"You shouldn't."
{Easy to say but hard to do. Your victory and progress is depending on us master.} Said May.
"Why do you put so much pressure on yourselves?"
{Because it's true.} Said May.
"What is true is that I really don't care. I started a journey on the way to get you stronger and… passing time with pokemon. It's not about being successful, for me it's about being with you."
May and Dusk then looked at each other.
"If battles put so much pressure on you, then maybe a pokemon trainer journey wasn't such a good idea after all."
{What?} Exclaimed May.
{You would… give up on something you like… for us?} Said Dusk.
"If it's mean that it will not make feel you that bad, then yes."
May and Dusk couldn't help but to wonder how he could possibly be that devoted to his pokemon. From what they know, it should the opposite.
"Maybe we can just settle somewhere and train all of you until you become the strongest of your species, without anything else."
{… But master, what will be the point of us being strong if not for battles?} Asked May.
{Well… from the amount of time I spent in that human lab, I noticed that other pokemon was respecting strong pokemon. That even was making them more suitable for… hemmm… relationship.} Explained Dusk.
"You mean like being higher in the hierarchy of their species?"
{Pretty much. But it also assures a better survivability in the wild. But I can understand what May is saying.}
{You do?}
{Yes. If it was not for the lab, I would have probably had hard time surviving on my own. But then I realised that as soon as you go with a trainer, you don't have to bother with what I just said anymore. Which lead us…}
{To be only strong for our master.} Finished May.
{Yes.}
"Hmm, it's quite paradoxical. Pokemon goes with trainer to become the strongest of their species, but don't bother anymore when they are with them."
{It's a bit strange, I agree.} Commented May.
{I didn't say it was making sense.} Said Dusk.
As they were laughing together, Scarlet was getting close to where Bonny was. When she found her, she was sitting on a big rock.
{Can I ask why you jumped on master's throat like that?} Asked Scarlet, upset by her behavior.
{Leave me alone.}
{I suggest you change your attitude. I don't like that you make master the reason of you own weakness.}
Being quite hurt by her words, Bonny didn't respond anymore.
After a moment of silence, Scarlet sighing and sat next to Bonny.
{… Look, I know you're stressed out, but that's not a reason to go against our master.}
{I know okay, I'm sorry.} Sadly and angrily said Bonny.
{Then why?}
{Because… I don't like to lose. It's humiliating, for me and for master too. Last time, I felt that I've failed him so much.}
{And what master did about that?}
Bonny went silent for a moment.
{He… cheered me up.} Finally said Bonny.
{And if I remember correctly, you even evolved that night. Then I suppose that it doesn't matter much too him.}
{But it does for me.}
{I didn't remember my Bonny friend to be so selfish.}
{I'm not, it's just, I want to be strong for master. What if I always lose after that? What if I end up like May and her last trainer or worse, being abandoned like my first family?}
{'sigh' Must be hard not being a psychic type, always doubting.}
{Must be nice being one, never doubting and knowing everything.}
{For you, I don't know. From the looks of it, I'm pretty you would still doubt even if you were able to get into people's mind.}
{Why are you saying that?} Said Bonny, a bit upset about her assumption.
{Maybe it's because I'm psychic, but from an external looks, it's obvious that your happiness and well-being is far more important for master than his own needs. Even May began to fully trust him. Why can't the one that have been the longest with him beside me understand that?}
Again, Bonny went silent.
{You've changed since you evolved Bonny. Mostly for the better, but now, it's like you became obsess with strength and victory.}
{If I want at least a small chance against you, I must.}
{Ah, I knew it will come to this eventually. A chance about what? For battle, for master's affection?}
{… Both.}
{'sigh' I thought we were clear about that. There is no competition here. As long as we are together and both want to protect our master, strength doesn't matter.}
{I'm sure master prefers stronger pokemon.}
{I won't lie, stronger pokemon tend to attract more admiration. But I can assure you that master doesn't care about that. Don't forget that I may be strong, but I also took life of many living things, which you didn't. You have less blood on your hands than me, which gave you an advantage on me.}
Bonny did saw Scarlet killed that human the other night, but she didn't know that it wasn't her first time, but didn't care that much at that moment.
{But you were the first one with him, which gave you the affection advantage.}
{I indeed was the first one, but not since a very long time when we found you.}
{You still were the first. And you can talk to him telepathically to him.}
{I'm reminding you that you can also speak with him now.}
{Because of you. There is nothing you can't do with your powers. All I can do is punch and kick.}
{Well, you have a very soft fur that I don' have.}
Bonny then looked at her, disappointed at her pathetic try to cheer her up.
{Sorry Bonny but, I don't know what to say beside that I can assure you that he doesn't favor or love anyone over another one.}
{Really helping.} Sarcastically said Bonny.
Scarlet then left the rock.
{You really are stubborn. Maybe someday you will understand on your own, but I won't waste time on someone that don't want be helped.} Said Scarlet while slowly leaving.
{But remember that it's not always about you. You should take your energy to think about how what you can really do for master, not wasting it by thinking about how to impress him for his love, which you already have. You're Bonny the lopunny, not the pokemon that want to be stronger than Scarlet and everyone else, so stop making our master worry about you all the time.}
With that, Scarlet left Bonny to her thoughts to join back Max.
"Is she alright?" Asked Max when Scarlet came back.
[She will. She just some need some alone thinking time.]
"Okay."
[Just like that master, but a bit more praise from you could be nice for her.]
"…Sure, but…"
[Since her first lose against that rock type trainer, her self-confidence has been quite damaged.]
"Did you tell her that it didn't matter?"
[Countless times, but she's more stubborn than a charizard.]
"I wonder if she always has been like this. I read in the pokedex that evolution can alter a bit the personality of a pokemon."
[That makes sense actually, since she wasn't that selfish before evolving.]
"I won't say selfish, but less worry about trivial things."
[Things being 'trivial' are quite relative, but I agree.]
"Anyway, all we can do now is to wait that she's feeling better."
[Hope you're not in a rush.]
"If she needs a week, then I will wait a week."
[Hehe, I'm sure that it won't take that long.]
"Hope so, our supplies won't last forever."
[At worse we still can eat you.]
"Figuratively or literally?" Asked Max while frowning.
[Hmmm…] Thought Scarlet.
[I'll think about the best option and I'll come back to you with an answer.]
"Cool."
Max and his team then made a small break until Bonny reappeared from the woods, stopping a bit further in front of them. Max then stood up and walk close to her.
"Feeling better?" Asked Max.
{I…}
Bonny then goes for a hug.
{I'm sorry master. I'm sorry for what I said. I shouldn't have got on you for my problems.}
"Don't worry sweety." Said Max while returning the hug.
"You were right when you said that you're the one that deal mostly with battles. I should have had more consideration toward you."
{No master. You're the one that come up with strategy in battle. If we can't keep up and follow it, it's our fault.}
"… Then I guess we were all in the wrong."
{Hehe, I guess.} Giggled Bonny.
"I think that we both have to works extra hard for that not to happen again."
{I agree.}
"Alright, let's continue, we're almost there."
{Okay, but I need to do something first.}
Bonny then break the hug and walk toward the others, followed by Max.
{I'm sorry guys for my little crisis. It won't happen again.}
{It's no big deal Bonny, we can understand how you feel.} Said May.
{We also feel a bit nervous.} Added Dusk.
{… Thanks guys.}
[See Bonny? No one here care about your strength or whatsoever. They only care about your well-being.] Said Scarlet to Bonny mind.
After Bonny blushed from embarrassment, Max returned his team in their pokeball before resuming his walk.
"You were a great help again scarlet."
[What will do without me? Maybe I should be the trainer.]
"Like a human trainer?"
[Good idea. I could capture humans, force them to battle each other to the death and…]
"Calm down Scarlet."
[Sorry, just a little fantasy of mine. Could be awesome to see though.]
"Not sure about that."
{Wuss.} Lowly said Scarlet.
"What?" Said Max, not sure of what he heard.
[Nothing.] She said while faking innocence.
Looking at her suspiciously, Max pinched her butt.
[Ow.]
As the rest of the day passed, Max and Scarlet was either talking or playfully bickering until they finally arrived close to Zino city, seeing it in the distance.
"Here we go. We finally arrived." Said Max while stopping a moment to look at the huge city in the distance.
[Yeah.]
Suddenly, Scarlet had a morose tone.
"What is it Scarlet? Not happy that we made it?"
Scarlet was silent for a moment before speaking up.
[Master…] Started Scarlet.
[Since now… I wasn't minded small humans place… but this time… I think I'll pass.]
"What do you mean?"
[I mean that you will have to go in the city without me.]
"What? No, I don't want to."
[I'm not asking you.]
"But you said…"
[That I would prefer being in a crowded human filled place than being away from you, yeah, I remember. But the less people see me, the fewer problems we are likely to have.]
"We won't have problems with you walking with me."
[Nevermind master. Just with go with someone else, I'll just wait here.]
"Until I'm done there?"
[Don't worry. If you take a room, I'll teleport to where you are when I'll feel that you're isolated. I'll also get over you if you ever run into troubles, so please, be careful and stay away from it.]
"But, what will you do in the meantime? Won't you feel lonely?"
[I'll meditate or something. I'll manage. After all, I've been alone longer than I've been with you.]
"Yeah but…"
[You still can let out Bonny if 'you' ever feel lonely. Besides, I think some quality time with her master will do her good and make her feel better.]
"… I… guess."
[Don't be like that master, I won't be far and will still be with you.] She said while giving him warm and passionate kiss.
"If it's what you want…"
[It's the best to do for now.]
"Alright. But don't get into trouble yourself okay?"
[Don't you mean, don't make any trouble?]
"… Yeah… something like that."
[Hihi, silly master, you know I can't you promise something like that. Love you.] She said with a last kiss before using teleport and disappeared.
"'sigh' well, let's just hope for the best then."
Max then opened Bonny's pokeball to let her out.
{Hi master. We already there?}
"Almost. The city is in sight." Said Max while pointing behind Bonny.
{Oh, it looks cool.} She said after she turned around.
"Yeah, I bet there are plenty of things over there."
{Hope so. No Scarlet?} Said Bonny, looking around.
"… No. She still has hard time being around to many people." Lied Max, still not aware that Bonny knew about Scarlet.
{… Well, I think it's for the best.} Said Bonny, thinking about her nature.
"You think?"
{If she's not comfortable with humans, a place that big that is overflowed by humans surely won't do well for her.}
"Probably."
{Then I guess I'll be your protector until we're done here.}
"Thanks Bonny, I know I can count on you." Praised Max while petting her head.
After he resumed his walk with now Bonny beside him, Max arrived close to the city as the sun was slowly setting. Entering the city, it felt a bit weird that no one was staring at them. The city was pretty big and quite crowed even at that time of the day with very little space for greenery, with everything square meter covered with either in asphalt for cars or buildings. Walking on the sidewalk, Max saw some peoples also walking with their pokemon beside them.
"Alright Bonny, what do you think we should do first?"
{A place to spend the night maybe? The sun is almost set.}
"Okay. Let me check where we can find one."
Max then withdrawn his pokedex to look for an address of an inn or hotel.
"Alright, there is a moderately cheap hotel on the 'snorlax road'."
{Snorlax? There is a snorlax on the road?}
"No, it's the name of the street. Not really inspired if they used pokemon names."
{Don't know, pretty cool name.}
"Or maybe they named it like that because the street is often jammed." Said Max with a grin.
{… Was that… a joke?} Said Bonny, not understanding.
"Yeah, pretty much, hem, nevermind."
{Oh.} Said Bonny a bit down.
{Wait, I get it. It's because their really big, hehe.} Said Bonny, forcing a laugh.
"Yeah. The street should be this way." Said Max, trying to kill the awkwardness.
{Lead the way.}
(Nice job Bonny. Idiot.) Thought Bonny.
As they their heading toward the street they were looking for, they passed in front of a huge building with a big and illuminated panel on it written 'PokeMart'.
"Wow. Look Bonny, the pokedex says that it's one of the biggest Pokemart of the region."
{Woah, it sure goes high.} Said Bonny while stretching her head backward to see the top of the building.
"I'm sure there lots of stuff inside. Maybe we could go for a tour after the Gym battle.
{That could be nice.}
As they continued, Max and Bonny passed of front some other interesting things such as, good looking restaurants and various services giving like smaller shops or libraries.
"Wow. This place looks fun. Maybe we could spend some time here after the gym battle."
{It could be really fun if Scarlet would have been with us.}
"… Yeah, you're right." Said Max, knowing that it won't be the same without Scarlet.
"If only we could have a way to bring Scarlet here without her having to deal with the population."
{Maybe we will someday.}
"That would be nice."
After a pretty long walk, they finally arrived at the snorlax road street. When they arrived at the hotel they were looking for, night had already fallen, making the streets emptier. Passing through the automated doors, Max and Bonny goes to the counter that was further in the bottom of entrance hall.
"Good evening sir, how may I help you?" Said a male receptionist.
"Yeah, a room for the night. The cheapest you have."
"Certainly sir. Let's me check which one is available."
Typing in his computer for a moment, the man found a room for them.
"We have the 309 for 65$ per night."
"We'll take that." Said Max while giving the money.
"Thanks you sir. You can take the elevator at my left to go to the third floor. Have a pleasant stay." Said the man while handing Max his key.
"Thanks." Said Max after taking it.
Leaving the counter, Max goes to the elevator with Bonny, which she wasn't very reassured.
{What is that cramped thing?} Said Bonny in front of the opened elevator doors.
"It's an elevator. It is used to go to higher floor faster. It's safe, don't worry."
{…Okay.} She said while getting with an unsure pace.
When the door closed, she felt a bit cramped and panicked a bit when she felt the floor moving.
{Ghya!} She exclaimed while grabbing the elevator ramp, a bit scared.
"Calm down Bonny, it's normal. The machine just goes up to our floor."
{I'm not sure I like the feeling of that.} She said, still hooked at the ramp.
"Don't worry, we already almost there."
A few seconds later, they heard a 'ding', indicated that they were on the right floor. After the door automatically opened, Bonny rushed outside to get out of there as soon as possible.
"I'm guessing you don't like elevator."
{Is it really that noticeable?} Said Bonny while frowning.
"Just a little bit." Teased Max.
{Ha. Ha.} Sarcastically laugh Bonny.
After max chuckled a bit, they searched for they room. After a few meters, they arrived in front of the door 309. Getting inside, Max was a bit surprise to see that the room was a bit more luxurious than his previous ones. When Max closed the door, Bonny jumped on the bed.
{Wow. The beds are more comfortable than I remember.}
"Well, last time you were a buneray, and the bed was probably more cheaper than this one."
{Can't wait to test it.} She said while looking at Max seductively.
"Hmm, that's strange."
{What?}
"Scarlet said the exact same thing when she tried her first bed too."
{Is that so?} Said Bonny while doing a sexy pose on the bed.
{Yes it is.} Said Scarlet who had suddenly appeared in the room, making Bonny slightly jump.
"Damn Scarlet, you're more deadly silent than a ninjask." Said Max, also a bit scared by her sudden appearance.
{Did I scare the little kids?} Said Scarlet, teasing both of them.
{Hmpf, of course not.} Lied Bonny.
"Well you did for me. I think there is a problem with my heart now, so I think I'll need CPR."
{What is that… C. RP?} Asked Bonny.
{CPR. A technic humans use to revive other unconscious humans. It sometime implies mouth to mouth artificial breathing.} Explained Scarlet.
"I'm surprised that I even knew about it."
[It was far and lost in your head, but I managed to find it.]
{Mouth to mouth with master? That's something that I can get into easily.} Said Bonny with lust in her eyes.
{Glad to see you're feeling better. But just in case master, I think she need to relax a bit more.}
{I do?} Said Bonny, looking at Scarlet, puzzled.
{Let's say with a… relaxing massage.} Said Scarlet while winking at bonny.
{Oh yea, you're right.} Said Bonny, getting her hint.
{I indeed feel a bit stressed out master. I wouldn't mind a little shoulders massage. That could help me out.}
"Hmm… I'm still not good at it but, if you insist."
Max then sat on the bed. Not letting him the time to place himself, Bonny goes for the position she wanted, which was her sitting between his legs with her back against his belly.
{Whenever you want master.} Said Bonny, eager for him to start.
"Okay."
Max then put his hands on her soft furry shoulder and started to slowly massaging her shoulders. Even though lopunnies have small shoulders, he found them a bit more muscular than expected. After a moment of shoulders rubbing, Max felt Bonny's butt grinding and rubbing discretely against his crotch. Thinking that she wasn't doing it purpose, Max ignored it for now. Unfortunately, he couldn't contain an erection, which made Bonny grind against his crotch even more, feeling his shaft.
"Okay, now you're doing it on purpose aren't you?"
{What are you talking about master?} Said Bonny with a fake innocent tone.
{What is it master? Something's wrong?} Said Scarlet, who had appeared behind him, softly hugging his back with her head beside his.
"N-no no, it's just…"
{It's just what master?} Said Bonny while turning around, still sitting between his legs but now face to face with Max with her hands on his chest.
{Are you saying that I don't feel good?} Teased Bonny.
"Hmmm…" Said Max, knowing where this is going.
"Maybe… we should take a shower."
{No need to.} Said Scarlet.
Scarlet then used her power to make all of them glows in blue and made all the dirt and filth vanish, making them all clean.
{We wouldn't have all fitted in the shower anyway.} Continued Scarlet.
"I'm pretty sure that…"
{Shhhh.} Hushed Scarlet by pressing a finger on his lips from behind.
{You're thinking too much.}
Scarlet then teleported all of his clothes beside his underwear on the ground.
{I'll leave you the pleasure to unwrap the present Bonny.}
{Thanks Scarlet.} Said Bonny with lustful smile.
Scarlet then pushed the rest of her master on the bed before going for a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, Bonny slowly put down his underwear, revealing a throbbing erection.
{Wow master, is it all for me?}
Scarlet then let go of him and waiting a moment.
{What are you waiting for master? Answer her.}
"Hmm… yeah. Y-you can take all of it." Said Max, a bit ashamed of saying such lewd things.
{Hear that Bonny? You can do whatever you want with it.} Said Scarlet before going for another kiss.
{With pleasure.}
Bonny then grabbed his shaft with both of her soft hands, making Max flinch a bit. When she goes for a lick from the base to the tip, Scarlet shoved her long and thin tongue inside her master's mouth, exploring every corner of it. A moment after Max fought back Scarlet's tongue with his, Bonny licked the precum that was escape from his tip with her soft tongue, making him moan slightly.
{Hmm, Salty like the last time.}
{… Can I have a taste?} Asked Scarlet to Bonny after breaking the kiss.
{Sure. I think there's still a bit left.}
As Scarlet move next to Bonny, the lopunny moved a bit aside to share her space with Scarlet. Holding his base, Bonny pointed her master's tip toward her, which she happily gives a lick too.
{It's a pretty exciting taste don't you think Bonny?} Said Scarlet after a few licks.
{Sure is Scarlet.}
They then both started to lick their master's shaft, each one on their side. As they were both focusing on his tip, the two tongues were making Max heat rising heavily, forcing more precum to leak, which they always eagerly licked.
{I think I want to taste a bit more.} Said lustfully and playfully Bonny.
{Don't be shy little lopunny, show that naughty thing who is command here.}
After giving her master a grin, Bonny coiled her lips around his shaft and goes the farthest that she was able to before going back to his tip, forcing him to contain a moan. She repeated the action a few times before leaving it alone and gave it to Scarlet, which she did the same. The difference between the two is that Bonny was going as far as possible with deepthroats while Scarlet was doing more tongue play when in her mouth. When one was sucking on him, the other was licking whatever they could find, thighs, belly, balls, etc.
{He's about to exploded Bonny.} Said Scarlet when she sensed he was.
{What? He wants to stain us with his white juice?} Playfully said Bonny.
{If it's what master wants…}
{Then we have no choice but to obey.} Finished Bonny.
As both of them were smiling lewdly at their master, they were pumping him with one hand each when he was really near, waiting for the crucial moment. After a few seconds of stroking, Max exploded on their faces with a low growl that he couldn't contain.
{Ghya. That's so hot.} Commented Bonny.
When Max had shot his last gush, Bonny and Scarlet gathered the fluids that had landed on their face and licked all of it.
{I'm more addicted to your taste every time I consumed it.} Said Scarlet.
{I agree. I like it better than the first time.}
As they both finished their 'meal', Scarlet noticed that they were a small drop that was left on Bonny's nose.
{You forgot a spot Bonny.}
Not letting her the time to move, she leaned toward her licked the remnant on her nose, making her blush in embarrassment.
{Noo Scarlet. That's embarrassing.} Playfully said Bonny.
{Sorry Bonny. But maybe we can go for the fun part, don't you think?}
{I agree. But who should go first?}
{Hmmm.} Thought Scarlet.
{I think you have been on his face less time than me, so you take his head and I take his lower half.}
{Fine to me.}
Then, Bonny goes sit on her master chest while scarlet levitated herself until she was on her knees above Max's shaft.
{Heard that master? You will take care of me until Scarlet is finished.}
"Y-yeah, hard not to hear you."
{And do a good job this time master.} Said Scarlet while aligning herself properly.
"Of course, when did I mphff…."
Max sentence was cut short by Bonny putting her wet entrance on her master's mouth, shutting him up.
{Good job Bonny, you're quick learner.} Praised Scarlet while starting to insert her master tip inside her, making him moan on Bonny's womanhood.
{Yhaa!} Moaned Bonny from the vibration of his voice.
Putting his hands of Bonny's thighs, Max started to assault her sacred place with his tongue, making her moans a bit more. Meanwhile, when Scarlet had his entire tip inside her, she dropped herself slowly on the rest, making sure that her master was feeling every part of her. Moaning slightly while getting further inside her, Max let out a pleasured moan when he reach her bottom and hit her uterus entrance, with Bonny feeling it. Scarlet then started to go up and down on him, crushing him with her surreal tightness, making him having hard time to focus on Bonny. With a high dose of willpower, he was able to endure the pleasure that only Scarlet's vagina could provide and continued to assault and pleasure Bonny with his tongue.
{AAhh! He indeed… has got… a bit better.} Moaned Bonny.
{Master is really… obedient when he wants.} Said Scarlet, starting to moan as well.
Feeling pleasure overwhelming her, Bonny put her hands on her master head, preventing her to fall from it.
{Yes master! Like this.} Moaned Bonny.
Assaulting her sensitive button and inside walls, Max lapped a few sips of her overflowing juice, which was salty and sweet at the same time. With Bonny grinding her hips on her master's face, Scarlet could felt another climax coming from him. Without her noticing, Scarlet slightly increased Bonny's pleasure so that she could cum at the same time as her and Max. Riding him for a little while, Scarlet was only a few pounds away from her orgasm. Her master was a bit behind, but she was confident that her orgasmic contraction will take care of him. When it hit her, she arched her back in pleasure while muffling an ecstatic moan, making Max follow her with her extreme narrowness, repainting her inside again. Shortly after they were done, Bonny also cumed, slightly squirting on her master's face. When her moment had passed, Bonny freed her master's face and sat on her knees beside him.
{That felt… really good master.} Said Bonny, slightly panting.
"Glad to hear."
{Now is not the time to rest Bonny. It's your turn to ride the bull now.} Said Scarlet, also done.
{You're right. Hope you're still up for one more round master.}
{I think he is.} Said Scarlet playing a bit with his still hard member.
"What will I do without you indeed Scarlet."
{Thanks for finally noticing that master, but unfortunately, I have nothing to do with that this time.}
"What? You mean…"
{That you're still hard on your own master.}
"Damn. Never happen before."
{I think someone in here really inspire you.} Said Scarlet while looking at Bonny with a grin.
{Well, I think it's more about being with both of us.}
"I must agree with Bonny. It's the first time that I'm being raped by two pokemon at a time."
{Hmm, good to know.} Said Scarlet.
{Indeed.} Added Bonny with a lustful face.
Bonny then goes above her master and aligned her wet entrance with his still hard shaft. Unlike Scarlet, Bonny was liking it a bit rougher and impaled herself stronger and faster than her, making him hit her bottom in one go.
{AAah! Master's thing… is the best.} Said Bonny with her tongue stuck out.
{Can't say otherwise.} Said Scarlet while going again for a kiss to Max and making out shortly after.
Using her strong legs, Bonny could easily goes up and down more wildly than Scarlet. Being a bit less tight than her, she was compensating by her softness and eagerness. With Bonny going a bit faster, Scarlet was kissing and licking everything that was in reach like his mouth, neck and his torso. Then, as his pleasure was increased each time Bonny was going down on him, Max saw Scarlet's crest close to him, which gave him an idea.
"KYHAaa!" Loudly moaned Scarlet, which she had to muffle when she felt her crest being softly touched by Max.
With his master playing with her crest for a bit, Scarlet move it closer to his face instinctively. Knowing what she wanted, Max then gave it a lick when in reach, which increased Scarlet pleasure with louder moans. While licking and sucking gently on her crest, he felt Bonny's love tunnel twitching a bit, meaning that she was very close to cum again. When they were finally cuming, both Bonny and Scarlet was muffling their moans to prevent them from making too much noise. When Bonny finally relaxed from her blissful moment, she goes a bit limp, getting slightly sore from her orgasms.
{Still not cuming master?} She said since she didn't felt any hot substance inside her.
{Guess… I'll have to go another round.}
Resuming her riding, Bonny had more hard time since she was quite more sensitive from her two orgasms. Meanwhile, Scarlet was also about to reach her climax from her hyper sensitive crest being heavily stimulated by her master. When Bonny got used to the increased sensitivity, she speeded up a bit. Having her forearms besides her master's head, Scarlet squeezed it slightly when she couldn't hold on anymore as a small moan manage to come out her when while trying to contain a brutal one. Leaving him, Scarlet fell on her back beside her master, panting a little. Not very long after, Max climax was finally about to arrive, as well as Bonny's again. When Max had enough and exploded inside her, it triggered Bonny's third orgasm, milking him good. When they were also done, Bonny fell on Max's chest, panting quite a bit.
{Hope you had… as much fun as… I do Scarlet.} Said Bonny.
{I sure did.} Responded Scarlet.
"Me too." Said Max.
{Good to know, even if we didn't ask you.} Said Scarlet, trying to tease him.
"Fuck you."
{Again? I just did, give me a break.} Teased Scarlet some more.
"Don't know about you but, I'm feeling like taking a shower, but I'm too lazy to get up."
{You can take one tomorrow.} Said Scarlet.
{Yes. But for me, I won't mind a quick little cleanup.} Said Bonny while getting up.
{Me too. I'm mentally too tired to use my powers.} Added Scarlet while following the lopunny in the bathroom.
Before going under the sheet, Max released the rest of his team without leaving the bed.
"Okay girls. Take a good rest. Tomorrow we will face the gym leader."
{Okay Master.} Said Dusk.
{You can count on us.} Added May.
"I know I can. Do your best and everything will be fine."
After Dusk jumped on the bed, Max help May to get on since she was a bit too small. After Max goes under the sheet, May immediately goes on his chest while Dusk rolled into a ball between his legs. A little while later, Bonny and Scarlet came back and goes on their usual sport, which was on each side of Max, both falling asleep after roughly fifteen minutes. The next morning, Max slowly snapped out of his slumber by an odd feeling. When he opened his eyes, he saw something red inside his underwear, teasing and playing with his manhood.
"Scarlet? Is that you? Asked Max, still half asleep.
[If you see a red slender arm assaulting your junk, then no.] Sarcastically said Scarlet.
"Such vulgarity." Said Max, pretending that he cared.
[Well, you know me. But I think it's time to wake up, if you want to do that gym battle.]
"What's the rush?" He said while snuggling against his team, pretty much all in the same place that he saw them last time.
[Oh, I don't know.] Said Scarlet while grabbing Max's hand that had his Ergowatch.
[Maybe because it's almost 9:00.] She said while reading it.
"What?" He exclaimed, looking at it himself.
"Damn, I overslept."
[I thought about waking you up, but you're so cute when you're sleeping. But after a while, I told myself that it was enough and I should do something about it.]
"Like masturbating me in my sleep?"
[That or suffocating you until you wakes up.]
"That would have been really evil of you."
[That's why I choose the first option.]
"Which I guess you preferred by a long shot?"
[Hm, you're starting to know me pretty well. Good job.] She said while rubbing his hairs.
"But you're right, it's time to leave and get that second badge."
[Way to go master.]
"I'll go to the shower. But first I need to take care of my restrainer."
Scarlet then used her power to make everyone float in the air without waking them up.
[Now is your time.] She said while motioning him to move.
"Okay, thanks."
As soon as Max was in the bathroom, Scarlet put down the others three slowly except for Bonny, which she made her fall on the bed, making her waking up roughly.
{What the… what's happening?} She quite loudly said while quickly sitting up in surprise, waking up May.
{It's time to wake up.}
Looking around, she realised that Scarlet was the one who awakened her like this.
{Geez Scarlet, I thought I was really falling.}
{Wet dreaming about master again?}
{No… well, yes. But not when you dropped me on the bed.}
{Was it interesting?}
{Not really, I was dreaming about being thrown down a bridge. Pretty sure it's all thanks to you.}
{Aww, sorry to hear that.}
{Ghrr!} Grumbled Bonny.
{You're quite loudly in the morning.} Commented May.
{Sorry May, but Scarlet like doing her obnoxious sometime.}
{I quite envy Dusk though, she still manage to stay asleep even when Bonny whines a lot.}
{Who's whining?} Said Bonny, getting upset.
"Girls! Can you stop fighting each other? You will get us have another complain about being loud. I also try to get in the shower."
{Sorry master.} Said Scarlet with a semi sincere voice.
{'sigh' Better wake up Dusk then.} Said Bonny while shaking Dusk.
A moment after Dusk was awakening and stretching, Scarlet goes near Bonny.
{Check this out.} She lowly said to her.
Scarlet's eyes then glow in blue. Then, after a moment…
"Shit its cold!" Complained Max from the bathroom.
Bonny then giggled for a moment before Scarlet did it again.
"Fuck! Scarlet!" Loudly called out Max.
After some more giggles, even May and Dusk chuckled a bit. A little while later, Max came out of the bathroom only in his underwear, making Bonny and Scarlet giving him a lustful look while Dusk looked away in embarrassment and May slightly blushing, even though she didn't really know why.
"Sorry girls, forget to bring my clothes with me."
{Don't worry about it master.} Said Bonny while looking at him seductively.
While dressing up next to his bag, Max felt a bit uncomfortable with Scarlet and Bonny staring at him dressing.
"Alright. All set." He said when finished and after grabbing his packsack.
{Can I stay with you master?} Asked Dusk when Max withdrawn his pokeball.
"Sure thing Dusk. What about you May?"
{I pretty small so, I would probably just slow you down.}
"Not necessarily, look."
Max then grabbed May and put her behind his head with the packsack acting as transporting platform.
{Wow master. I never thought about it.} Said May.
"And with May and Dusk walking with me, I can pass the day with all of my team."
Max then looked at Scarlet.
"Well… almost all." He said a bit sadly.
[Don't worry master. I'll be closer than you think for your battle.]
"Which means?"
[Nothing. Let's just say that I won't miss your battle.]
"… Okay."
Not knowing what she was meaning, Max didn't press it further more. Maybe she will just appear in the gym when he will be about to battle.
"Going back to the woods surrounding the city?" Asked Max.
[Yes. Don't worry, like yesterday, I'll keep track of your mind, constantly knowing where you are.]
"Thanks mom."
[Be careful now.] She said while pinching his cheek like a mother will do before giving him a kiss and teleporting away.
{She's not staying with us?] Asked May.
"No. She's not really a city pokemon. She prefers staying close to the nature." Lied Max.
{Oh, okay.}
"Ready to leave girls?"
{Yes.} They all said.
After grabbing everything, they left the room, locked it and headed toward the elevator, which made Bonny uncomfortable again.
"You know Bonny, we can take the stair if you want."
{No master. A worthy fighter like me shouldn't let herself be afraid of trivial things like that.} She said, trying to sound brave.
"Wow. I believe in your strength goddess Bonny" Teased Max while pressing the elevator button.
With a 'ding', the elevator doors opened, with Bonny previous assurance slowly fading away. Nonetheless, she stepped inside the elevator and grabbed the ramp inside to secure herself. As the elevator was going down, Bonny was grasping the ramp stronger while trying to hold a prideful composure.
{What this master? It's quite fun.} Said May, enjoying the moving room.
"It's an elevator, used to travel between floors." Explained Max.
Dusk though was quite neutral about this, not enjoying nor being scared of it. After another 'ding', the door opened to the first floor, Bonny quickly walked out of the elevator, still trying to look unimpressed.
"You'll get used to it eventually Bonny." Reassured Max.
{Not sure about that.} Said Bonny, convinced that she will never do.
After giving his key to the receptionist, Max exited the building and looked in his pokedex the exact location of the gym.
"Hmm, the gym is an electrical center at the east edge of the city. It will take an hour or two to go there if we walk."
Max then looked for a transport method.
"It's said that there is a subway close by."
{What is that?} Asked Bonny.
"An underground moving machine that can travel peoples through the city pretty quickly."
{… Great.} Said Bonny while facepalming.
"Unless you want walk two hours, it will be our best option."
{Yeah yeah, whatever.}
"Grumpy huh? I bet you're hungry."
{There is no link between me not liking moving machinery and being hungry.} Argued Bonny.
{I must say that I'm hungry too master.} Said Dusk.
{Me too.} Followed May.
"No big surprise, my gluttonous team is always hungry."
{Well, you kind of always make us lose some calories so… it's a bit your fault.}
"Yet, you still have a big butt." Teased Max.
{Don't talk like that about my rump, I know you love it.}
"Touché. Now, let's see about a place to eat."
Max then searched in his pokedex for a moment.
"There it is. A pokemon restaurant, which humans like pokemon can eat there. They even have a big terrace for bigger pokemon."
{Let's go for it then.} Said May.
"Sure thing. It should be on the Voltorb street, which is not very far from here. Hope prices there are not too 'explosive'." Said Max while looking at his team with a grin, with none of them getting the bad joke.
"Rha, nevermind. Let's go." Said Max, a bit down.
{Was that supposed to be a joke again?} Asked Bonny.
"Yes. Well, kind of."
{Okay, just to be sure. Because it looked like a bad one.}
"Okay Bonny, I get it."
Liking to tease her master, Bonny couldn't help but to chuckle a bit.
After about almost twenty minutes, they arrived at the restaurant they were looking.
"The Hungry Muchlax." Read Max on the building panel.
"And Scarlet telling me that I'm not good at giving names."
The outside of the building was looking quite impressing and very clean, with the building itself being pretty big. Passing automated doors, Max was astonish at how pokemon friendly it was. With the already very spacious inside with lots of place, he saw that some table was specially designed to accommodate various pokemon with a very good ambiance. Once inside, Max had to stop in front of a small lineup.
{Pretty cool place.} Said Bonny while looking around.
"Yeah, the place looks very good for trainers." Commented Max.
The place was pretty filled, despite the time, with most of the table taken by humans and their pokemon. After a few minutes of waiting, Max was now next and stopped in front of a panel written 'Please, wait for us to place you'. After a minute of more waiting, a waitress came to them.
"Good morning sir. A table for one with a mawile, and lopunny and fennekin?" Asked politely the waitress.
"Yes please."
"This way sir." She said while motioning them to follow.
Following her, they passed by some tables. Oddly to him, some pokemon looked at him more than just a quick glance, making him slightly uncomfortable. However, he decided to ignore them until they arrived at a custom made table.
"Here we go sir."
"Thanks."
"Someone will pass with the menu." She said while bowing slightly before leaving them.
The table was against the wall with benches of various heights. One spot was like a normal bench, one was more adapted to a lopunny height and another one was more for Dusk and May height, making all of them being able to reach the foods on the table while sitting. The girls then jumped on the benches and all sat close to each other.
"It is pretty cool. The place is really well made, allowing pokemon and humans eating together." Said Max while putting his packsack next to the bench before sitting on it next to Bonny.
{It can be good for romantic meals.} Said seductively Bonny while putting one hand on her master's thigh.
"Yeah, but I don't think most pokemon and humans think that way."
{If they knew what they are missing.} She said while dangerously getting to his crotch, which made Max to stop her.
"Let's not get them some ideas shall we?" He said while patting her hand.
{Good point.} She said while retreating her hand, making Max sigh in relief.
{I wouldn't want to make them jealous.}
Shortly after, another waitress arrived to their table with a rather thick menu chart.
"Here you go sir. Take your time to choose whatever pleases you." She said with a smile.
"Thanks."
After she smiled, she left them alone.
{Scarlet would probably have liked it here.} Said Dusk.
"I don't know Dusk, the place is pretty crowded. She also had a bad first experience last time. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't even have wanted to enter."
{It's still a bit sad though that she's not with us.} Said Dusk.
[You're right, last time was enough 'restaurant' experience for me.] Said Scarlet voice inside his head.
"Scarlet?" Said Max like she was next to him.
[Yes master?]
{You okay master?} Asked Bonny, wondering why he called out Scarlet.
{Scarlet is here?} Asked May, looking around.
"No, well yes but…"
[I'm still in the nearby forest. I finally managed to establish a long distance connection between our brains. I've been trying that since yesterday. It's a bit hard to speak to you from far away while being careful with my physical surrounding.]
{Where is she?} Asked Bonny.
"Just a second Bonny. What do you mean by your surrounding?"
[I mean that I need to get in my meditative stance for that to work, which is leaving my physical body quite vulnerable. Half of my focus goes with our communication while the others half go to supervise my surrounding for eventual danger. Don't be surprise if something I cut short our conversation, which will probably just mean that someone or something will be near me and bothering me.]
"Okay. That pretty cool though."
{Good thing this place is pretty loud. Otherwise master would look crazy by talking to himself.} Said Bonny to the others.
{Yeah, I wonder what is happening.} Asked Dusk.
{He will tell us when he's done.}
"Sorry girls, it was Scarlet speaking to me through long distance telepathy."
{Really?} Asked Bonny.
"Yeah. She was working that since yesterday."
{That's cool, she will be able to speak to you anytime now.} Said Dusk.
"I can also speak to you." Said Max with the voice of Scarlet with his eyes iris glowing blue.
{Huh? Is that you Scarlet?} Asked Bonny, a bit surprised.
"Yes it is."
{… How…}
"I possessed master so I can speak to you too."
{You can do that?} Asked Bonny.
"I always have been able to. After all, his brain have no secret for me, I just never had to use it, until now."
{Can you do this with us too?} Asked bonny.
"No. I can only do this with someone as close as master, or a really close psychic friend."
{That could be practical.} Said Bonny.
{Can you now give us back master? I like you but, I still prefer master.}
"Sure. I just wanted to say that you won't have a break from that easily hehe."
With that, Max came back to his sense.
"Woa, what happened?" Said Max, shaking his head.
{Turns out that Scarlet can possess you to speak with us.}
"Really?" Said Max, a bit unsure.
[Don't worry master, I will only do this I feel the need to talk to the others, which will probably be very rarely. Or maybe just to annoy Bonny.]
"Eh, whatever the distance, you will still be the same."
[Sorry master, but you're stuck with me forever, hahaha.] Said Scarlet, trying to sound diabolical.
"If only I was minding."
{Well, master? Do you think it will be a good time to order something?} Said Bonny, who was getting a bit impatient.
"Yeah, sure, sorry." He said while opening the chart.
"Wait a minute."
The others then looked at him, puzzled.
"That's reminds me, Scarlet, remember the time you… take some money in the distance after the restaurant?"
[With that slutty 'dear' human? Of course I do.]
"How about I command you something and you use your power to take it?"
[Hmm, that could be an idea indeed.]
"Ha, smart Max had struck again."
[Don't get the big head because you thought that you outsmarted me.] Teasingly said Scarlet.
[I already thought about it, I was just waiting for you to propose it to me.]
Thinking that he had a good idea, Max was a bit disappointed that she was again a step ahead of him.
[Cheer up master, I'm sure that one day you will reach the intellect of a slowpoke.]
Max then cursed to her in his head.
[Love you too master. But I must admit that it's a greater distance than the last time, so it will be harder. But I think I can do it.]
"Okay, I'll take something that gardevoirs like."
[Alright. Thanks master, you really have a golden heart. You're the best.] Thanked Scarlet.
"Anything for my lovely team." He said while eyeing the menu.
As he was turning pages, Max understood why it was quite big. Each pages had a couple meals suggestion for one pokemon type, making at least the ¾ of the chart, with the rest being human meals.
"Okay… let's see what there is for Lopunnies."
Max had hard time with the wide variety of meal for normal type, but goes for what he thought what Bonny would like.
"What about a vegetable and rice stew with leppa berry sauce Bonny?"
{Sounds nice.}
"Good, one settled down. Let's go for May.
Being dual type, it was hard to choose between steel or fairy type. Max then remembered that even though she was a primary steel type, she was enjoying more fairy type foods.
"Hmm…" Muttered Max while eyeing the fairy type section.
"How about… Oh, would you look at that. The Mawile pasta."
{The… mawile pasta?} Asked May, wondering if she was on the menu.
"It's spaghetti like pasta made with Stirik berry paste, a berry really rich in iron and minerals for steel type with sweet sauce mainly made with mago berry.
{Looks yummy.} Said May.
"Alright. And for Dusk…" Said Max while going to fire type meals.
{I don't feel really spicy food today master.} Said Dusk.
"Understood. Let's see if there is some not spicy fire type plate."
Searching for a moment, Max finally found a meals that wasn't spicy.
"Are chicken nuggets warped in sea weeds sounds nice to you?"
{Never tasted sea weeds, but I'll try.}
"Good. As for Scarlet now…"
[Something simple will do.] Said Scarlet voice.
"Okay."
Eyeing the psychic page for a moment, Max came up with something.
"Oh, a pizza for psychic pokemon, that's interesting. It's a pizza made with gluten free paste, low fat milktank cheese, high fiber vegetal like peppers and Kily mushrooms and Touga berry as toping."
[I said something simple.]
"Come on, I'm sure you will love it."
[… Fine. You're the one that pays for it anyway.]
"Indeed. As for me now…"
Going at the human section, Max looked for a moment before choosing.
"I'll go with the beefs ribs with shrimp rice." He said before putting down the menu chart.
Shortly after, the waitress was back.
"What will it be sir?" She politely said
"A Vegetable and rice stew for my lopunny."
"Good choice." She said while noting it.
"The mawile pasta for… my mawile."
"Good decision. It's a bit expensive but this meal has the property of strengthening the body of mawiles."
"Whoa, that's great. And for my fennekin, just some chicken nuggets in sea weeds."
"Understood."
"And for me, the beef ribs."
"Noted."
"Can you also add the psychic pizza for me?"
"…Sure, but it won't make you a psychic."
"Hmm, if you say so." Said Max, a bit surprised by her slight rudeness.
"I'm sorry sir. But I'm often being asked if psychic meal will give them psychic powers. It's kind of a habit and I warn peoples before they spend money on something they will be deceived with since it's not very nutritious for humans."
"Okay. No, I just want to taste it." Lied Max.
"Okay." She said with a slight frown, finding him strange for commanding pokemon meals.
"It shouldn't take long." She said before leaving.
{I assume that they don't have human asking for pokemon foods very often.} Said Bonny.
"Probably. A pokemon asking for human food can pass, but with humans asking for pokemon foods…"
{It does look a bit strange indeed. But who cares?} Said Bonny.
"Not me, that's for sure."
{Exactly.}
[I could say than I'm sorry for making you look like a fool, but…]
"You don't feel like it?"
[Exactly.] Said Scarlet, copying Bonny.
After rolling his eyes, Max then looked around to see what kind of pokemon was in here. Some were there with their small companion like an eevee and or a Pikachu, other with bigger ones like an electabuzz and machoke. Max then noticed that a few pokemon were looking away as soon as he was noticing them.
"Weird." Muttered Max, focusing back on his own table.
{What's that master?} Asked Bonny.
"Oh nothing." Said Max, not paying too much attention to it.
{Hope it will arrive soon. The smell here just makes me hungrier.} Commented Bonny.
"Hope too. With all the peoples here, it may take a little while."
Bonny then sighed in desperation. She always had hard time with patience. Wanting to keep them busy, Max then chit-chated with them until their plate arrived. Twenty minutes later, the waitress finally came back with what they have asked.
{Finally.} Said Bonny a bit rudely.
(Good thing that I'm the only one that can understand her.) Thought Max.
"Here you go, the plates for your companions." She said while handing three plate toward Bonny, May and Dusk.
"And for you." She said handing his and Scarlet plates.
"Have a good meal." She said after leaving them.
"Okay Scarlet, you can have your plate."
Scarlet then possessed Max again to see where the plate was. Focusing on it with her master glowing eyes, she stared at it a moment before her glowing blue power enveloped it. She then tries a couple times to teleport it to herself, failing a few times. It took almost a minute for Scarlet to succeed.
"Made it." Said Max with Scarlet's voice.
She released Max so that she could enjoy her newly arrived foods.
"Alright." Said Max while slightly shaking his head.
"Let soil our face with that good looking foods." He said while eyeing his beef ribs.
After saying that, Max noticed that the others were already emptying their plates since a moment. Doing the same, they ate their meal pretty silently until everyone was done.
{That was pretty good.} Said Bonny.
{Yes. It was the best meal I ever ate.} Commented May.
"It was indeed very good. My ribs were slightly lacking cooking, but still pretty good. What about you Dusk?"
{The chicken nuggets were good, but I think I don't like much sea weeds.}
"Not a big surprise. Peoples that like sea weeds are not very common. We will know for the next time. But are you well filled?"
{Yes master, don't worry.}
"Good."
A second later, the empty plate of Scarlet appeared in front of Max.
[That was very good master.]
"Glad to hear. But after a meal like that, I think it's best to digest a bit before going for the gym battle."
{Why?} Asked May.
"Because you should never do big physical effort right after eating. It can make you sick with a stomach ache."
{Oh. What are we going to do then?}
"Hmmm… I don't know. But before checking for that, I think a little clean up will good for you May."
{Huh? Why?}
Max then took napkin and started clean May's mouth.
"Because your face is a mess. You really did soil it with those pastas. But I guess it's the risk of that meal."
{… Thanks master.} She said when Max was done.
"All clean now." He said after petting her head.
Max then checked in his pokedex what they could.
"Okay, there is a park at half an hour of walking from here, which is conveniently close to a subway station."
{Why not.} Said Bonny.
"Alright. Let's wait our pay bill so you can pay and leave."
After a moment, their waitress came to take their empty plate.
"Was everything good for all of you?" She said while taking them.
"Yes, my pokemon really enjoyed it."
"Glad to hear." She said with a very discrete frowned when she take Scarlet empty plate.
"I'll be back in a second with your bill."
Waiting a minute, the waitress was back with it.
"Here you go sir. Have a good day."
"Thanks." He said before she left.
"Hmm, 72$, its sure was expensive. Let's go girls." He said while leaving his bench and took back his sack, followed by the others.
Putting back May on his packsack again, Max headed to the paying counter.
"Did you eat well sir?" Said politely another waitress.
"Yes. That was good." Said Max while handed her the bill.
"Don't hesitate to come back again. That will be 72$ please."
Max then withdrawn his cash pile to give her the asked amount.
"Thanks you sir. Have good day."
"Thanks, you too." He said while headed toward the exit.
"The cash Scarlet gave me is already half gone." Muttered Max.
[I can still get us some more.] Said Scarlet.
"Thanks, but no thanks."
Now outside, max walked in the direction of the park, that was on the sandshrew street. Like expected, they arrived it after half an hour. Looking around, it was a quite big and peaceful place with a rocky road passing through.
"Let's see what we can do here." He said while walked on the road.
After a few minutes, they arrived at a small pokemon playground with wood benches close to it.
"Looks fun, don't you think girls?" Said Max while putting down May.
{Yes.} Said May.
"Well, go ahead and play girls. Just remember to not hurt yourself."
{Yes master.} Said May and Dusk before running toward the playground.
Max then go sat on a bench, followed by Bonny.
"You don't want to go with them?"
{Nah, I'm fine. Not really into childish games.}
"Eh, you do have changed since you evolved. The little buneary I knew would surely have gone with them."
{Well, I'm not a buneary anymore so…}
"Yeah, I got it."
{I'm sure that I wouldn't fit on those things anyway.}
"Fair enough."
Max and Bonny then looked at May and Dusk playing together with a few others pokemon from other trainers for a moment before speaking up again.
"I wonder if all pokemon change when they evolve."
{Even us pokemon have a pretty limited knowledge in evolution, so I don't know. But it would make sense though. I mean, when I awakened as a lopunny, I was already feeling different. Turns out that I was indeed a little bit different.}
"Eh, you do sure have changed a bit, but you have stayed my nice and cute little Bonny." He said while scratching her head.
{I guess. Why did you think about that? Do you fear that other will change when they evolve?}
"A bit. I mean, Dusk can yet evolve two more times, but not May."
{You're Scared that she will feel lonely if Dusk change like me when evolving?}
"Pretty much. Imagine that my next three other pokemon will all be full evolved pokemon, she will stay the child of the team and will have no one to play or be like her anymore."
{Hm, I guess I can understand your fear.} She said while crossing her arms.
She then thought for a few seconds.
{I guess the two options will be that one or two of us devoted themselves to stay with her, or she will have to mature so she won't feel left out.}
Max then let out a thoughtful sigh.
"Not looking good for her."
{A third option could be that she feel that she's your favorite and always with you. That way, she will feel special even if she stays the kid of the group.}
"Not sure I'm into favoritism."
{I don't think the others will oppose that idea.}
"We'll see in time. For now, it's like she will already be left out."
{No but… you're right. I guess for now, the only thing that we can do is to wait and see what will happen and acting in consequence.}
Max and Bonny then mostly watched in silence the others for about another half an hour before he decided that it was time to leave.
"Alright girls time to leave." Called out Max.
After saying goodbye to the others pokemon, Dusk and May joined Max.
"Feeling ready for that gym battle girls?" Said Max to everyone.
{Yes master.} Said May and Dusk.
{You can count on me to give everything I got.} Said Bonny, getting pumped out.
"That's spirit. Let's go then. Let's make him a surprise by putting you in your pokeball."
After they all nodded, Max put them in their pokeball before heading toward the subway station.
[You can do it master.] Said Scarlet voice.
"I have too. I'm not sure that my team would like another defeat."
[I strengthen them with my training session so, everything should be fine. And I'm sure they will even surprise you.]
"Eh, the one I want to surprise the most is that gym leader. He's electric type so, I don't have any disadvantage."
[Do your best then.]
"Thanks, I will."
After entering the subway station, Max paid a small fee and waited for the subway. A few minutes later, the train arrived. He then got inside after a few peoples were getting out. He sat on a bench and waited for his destination. Max was pretty impress at the speed of the thing, going at maybe 400 kmph. He already have heard about it, going faster since it was moving with magnetism instead of wheels, but never thought it was that fast. Each time the subway stopped, a voice in the train was saying the destination, so Max waited until it said gym leader. After maybe fifteen minutes of traveling, the voice announced 'Gym leader destination'. Getting of the subway, Max then exited the station to arrive in front a pretty big electrical center with two building. One probably for the usual work and the other one was the gym leader building.
"This is it. Time to get that second badge."
Max goes in front of the gym building and entered it through the automated doors. The entrance hall wasn't very big, but enough to contain a few waiting chairs, a counter with someone behind and a door on the left.
"Hi mister." Said a girl behind the counter when Max got close to it.
"Are you here for a gym battle?"
"Yes."
"Just a second."
The girl then pressed a button on a phone like device.
"Jule, you have another trainer asking for you."
"Okay. Be here in a minute." Said a masculine voice in the intercom.
"The gym leader will be in a moment mister. Feel free to wait in the waiting zone."
"Okay, thanks."
Sitting on one chairs, Max waiting for a few minutes before a man appeared in the door. The man was a bit older than him and was wearing a yellow overall, blond short hairs and blond beard shaped like thunderbolts on each side of his jaw.
"Hi. So you are the one that want my badge huh?"
"Yes." He said while standing up.
"You think you can do it?"
"Of course."
"Good answer. Now follow me."
The man then passed through the door again, followed by Max through the next room. The battle arena was quite odd. The floor was all metallic with a pokeball painted on it, with four tesla coils on each corner of the battle field.
"Pretty simple for an arena, but it's very convenient for electric type pokemon." Said Jule, the gym leader.
"I can tell." Said Max.
"Alright, you go right and I go left."
"Okay."
They then both goes to each side of the battlefield, getting ready for the battle.
"Okay young one, I hope you already have three pokemon on you."
"Yes."
"Good. Then like all gym battles, it will be a 3vs3 one. Are you ready?"
Being the first battle without Scarlet, Max took a deep breath.
"Yes."
"Good. Then here goes my first pokemon. Go Galventula."
After the bright light of the opening pokeball, a yellow spider appeared from it, making some sparks.
"Ga!" Screeched the pokemon.
"An electrical bug huh? I guess my best option now is you. Go Dusk."
Dusk then appeared from his pokeball with ember coming out of her ears.
{I'm ready master.} She said while getting in a fighting stance.
"Let's set the stage for the battle." Said Jule.
Both of them then activated their Ergowatch, creating the dome that was protecting their pokemon inside and the trainer for eventual lost attacks.
"You may begin." Said the gym leader.
"Okay Dusk, break the ice with Scratch."
Launching herself forward, Max was pretty impressed by her speed. If it wasn't from the gaventula being an electric type, it would probably have not dodged it, for unfortunately, it did.
"Okay gaventula, make sure that the other can't outspeed you.
(I forgot. Most experienced pokemon trainer used coded orders so their opponent can't easily counter their attack.)
Then, the galventula spread an almost invisible silk out of his mouth all over the battlefield (Sticky Web).
"What was that? Nevermind, Dusk go for charge."
Dusk then charged toward the galventula. Oddly, Dusk seemed a bit slower than her last attack, which prevented her to land the hit on her opponent.
"What's happening Dusk?"
"Haha, looks like you experiencing my combat style. I used Sticky Web at the start so that your pokemon will be slowed."
"That's no good. Dusk, go for ember."
Dusk then tried to hit the electric pokemon from the distance. Again, Max was surprised to see her Ember being quite strong, almost looking like Flamethrower. Dusk however failed her move as her opponent was quite fast.
"Try to anticipate his dodging with more Ember." Ordered max.
Dusk then launched multiple Ember attacks, all being dodged by the fast pokemon, until she saw a strike opportunity and fired at where he was about to land, landing a critical hit, making him flinch in slight pain.
"Strong attack indeed. Okay galventula, go for voltage 80 combo before it hits you again."
The galventula then jumped in the air and launched a couple electrified web strings (Electroweb) all around Dusk before charging another attack.
"Try to jump over the webs Dusk."
Doing as told, Dusk jumped out of the way of the galventula attack that was like a red and blue laser (Signal Beam) and tried to get over the Electroweb attack. Unfortunately, the zone of the attack was too big, making her unable to pass and land on it, taking the hit.
"You're holding up Dusk?"
{Yes. A bit strong but I can manage.}
"Good. Okay Dusk, go for what we can do best but follow with ember."
Dusk then used Charge at galventual multiple times, with him dodging every hit.
"I don't know what you're planning but I won't let you do as you please. Galventual, go for voltage 120 combo."
The galventula then create small electrical waves (Thunder Wave) toward Dusk, which she couldn't dodge, making her paralysed for a moment. The bug pokemon then used that moment to jump on her and suck out her life force to absorb it (Leech Life). When the galventual was done, it jump off her and backed up. Shortly after, Dusk was able to move again.
"That could be really troublesome." Muttered Max.
Max then saw Dusk starting to have a bit more trouble to stand, telling him that she didn't have lot of energy left.
"Okay I'll try this… Dusk, use multiples Ember attacks again while running around him.
Dusk then started to run around it while shooting ember, making it loses his momentum a bit.
"Okay galventula, make it stop moving by using voltage 80 again."
The galventula jumped again before surrounding her with Electroweb again, forcing her to stop. As the galventula was charging it Signal Beam attack, Dusk was getting a bit nervous with her master not giving orders. Trusting him, she waited the next command patiently. When Max saw the galventual half a second away of launching its attack, Max gave the order.
"Now Dusk, Jump as high as you can."
As the galventual Signal Beam was being launched, Dusk jumped in the air quite highly, dodging the attack.
"Ember at full power." Commanded Max.
Also in the air, the galventula wasn't able to dodge the attack, which he directly took. When Dusk landed on the ground, the galventual landed on his back, unable to fight anymore.
"Good job Dusk, that's one down."
{Take that spider.} Said Dusk.
"Galventula return, you did well." He said returning his pokemon.
"That's a pretty strong fennekin you have there. But let's see what it can do against my next one. Come on out magneton." He said before a magneton appeared form his pokeball.
"Still up for more?" Asked Max.
{Of course master, I'll stay until the end.}
"Eh, Alright then, go for Ember."
Dusk then launched an Ember attack that the magneton didn't bother to dodge.
"Yes. Bullseye."
Unfortunately, the magneton didn't get affected as Max would have hoped, being barely damaged.
"Your fennekin is indeed strong, but I've trained my magneton to have a pretty high special defense."
"Not good. Dusk, go for multiple Ember attacks."
Doing as told, Dusk goes for Ember attacks at every angle, which he was all enduring.
"Okay magneton, voltage 220."
The magneton then made black cloud appeared above them, starting to rain shortly after in the battlefield (Rain Dance).
"Shit, rain dance is supposed to weaken fire moves. Okay then, Dusk, go for Bite."
Dusk then charged at the magneton under the rain before the magneton use Thunder Wave too, making Dusk paralysed again for a moment. Then, all of a sudden and with Dusk unable to move, she took a heavy thunder strike that came from the black clouds (Thunder). When her paralysis faded, her next movement was to only go all limp on the ground, unable to continue.
"You did well Dusk, leave the rest to us." Said Max before returning Dusk to her pokeball.
Max then withdrawn his next pokeball.
"Special defense huh? Let's go all physical then. Go Bonny."
{Bring it on.} Growled Bonny while stomping the ground with one foot after she appeared from her pokeball.
"Wow, A lopunny. And a really pumped out one at that." Said the gym leader.
"Okay Bonny, let's start with charge."
Half a second later her order, Bonny launched herself at the magneton at full speed. Even if the magneton would have wanted to dodge, it wouldn't able to with that speed of her. Even though it was steel type, the magneton took quite some damage due his special defense specialty. Shortly after, Rain Dance started to fade away.
"Okay magneton, go for voltage 160 combo."
The magneton then made a horrifying noise (Screech) that was getting inside Bonny's body, which made her cover her ears. With only one eye opened, she was trying to anticipate her opponent next move, only to see him barely moving on place before being pushed a strong invisible force (Magnet Push). Because of the previous Screech move, Bonny took quite some damage, but could endure a couple more.
"Again magneton, go for voltage 220."
The magneton then made the black clouds appeared again, making it rain in the battlefield.
"Don't let him do as he wants Bonny, charge at him as fast as possible."
Expecting Thunder Wave next, Max then waited for the right moment. As Bonny was pretty close to him, it indeed launched a Thunder Wave attack.
"Jump above it Bonny."
Doing as told, Bonny used her strong legs to jump over it as the Thunder Wave attack was launched under her.
"Quick, go for Jump Kick."
Before the magneton tried to use Thunder, Bonny both legs then glowed in white, making her rapidly land a double Jump Kick on it, making it land hard on the metal floor, unable to continue.
"Good job magneton, have good rest." He said while recalling his pokemon.
After he called back his pokemon, Max could see a small bump on where magneton had landed, showing at how hard Bonny's move was.
"You did well young trainer, but its end here. Go manectric." He said before an intimating manectric appeared in a flash.
"Okay Bonny, return. I'll save you for last."
{Okay master.} Said Bonny before being returned to her pokeball.
"Go May."
After the pokeball opened, May appeared in the battlefield. But Max then noticed that she was still a bit uncomfortable.
"Everything is gonna be alright May. Just do your best." Said Max, trying to reassure her.
{Okay.}
Max words seem to have eased her worries a bit.
"Let's annoy him a bit with Pound." Ordered Max.
May then dashed toward the magnectric with her fist raised, ready to attack it. Still being a bit slow, May was looking a bit faster than the last time, proving the effectiveness of Scarlet's training. But the magnectric was faster and able to dodge her easily.
"Counter attack with Thunder Fang." Said the gym leader.
"Headbutt." Ordered Max.
Both attacks then collided, but with manectric doing a bit more damage. After shaking herself from the attack, May goes for her fighting stance again.
"Okay May, goes for headbutt again but with a surprise." Tried to said Max, hoping she will understand.
Luckily for him, she did and used Steel Fang right after it dodge the Headbutt attack. To fast for it, the manectric took the hit, moderately damaging it.
"Stronger than expected. I think you will have to go up a notch manectric." Said Jule.
The gym leader then withdrew from one of his pocket a pocket watch. Too far to see, Max wondered what was that.
"Let's make us one manectric. Raise your power." Said the gym leader.
Then, a few light strands appear from the watch and engulfed the manectric, making to starting to glow brightly in white. After a moment, the light strands and glowing light all disappeared, only for Max to see his opponent's manectric with a new appearance. It was looking a bit like before but with his yellow fur a lot thicker and longer on him, forming a huge lightning bolt symbol with spiky blue fur.
"Is that a mega evolution?" Asked Max, astonishing by what he saw.
"First time seeing it?" Asked the gym leader.
"Yes. It's quite amazing."
"It is. But it also practical since it increase the pokemon power quite a lot."
"It won't stop us from going forward. May, harass it with Crunch."
May then dashed toward it with her giant maw above her and tried to hit it. Being faster than before, the mega manectric dodge easily the attack.
"Let's counter with voltage 190." Ordered the leader.
The mega manectric then charged at May with all of body enveloped in electrical energy (Wild Charge) that she couldn't dodge, making her roll on the ground for a few meters. The mega manectric then dropped a few snake-like electric bolts on the ground that was moving randomly (Sparkwork). Standing up again, May had hard time to dodge all of electrical snakes since they were moving on an irregular pattern. While trying to not get hit, the mega manectric then launched at Thunder Wave attack. May managed to dodge it by jumping, but unfortunately, she landed on one the electrical snake, damaging her a bit.
"Okay May, go for a few Pound attacks."
"Don't let her have the upper hand, try to get her with Thunder Fang.
May and the mega manectric then goes multiple attacks tentative, with each attack being either blocked or dodged. After a few hits trade, none of them had touched the other.
"Go for Thunder Wave with a hot surprise." Commanded the leader.
Anticipating its move, May dodged the Thunder Wave attack by jumping again, but only to be surprised by the mega manectric in mid-air with fiery bite attack (Fire Fang).
"Oh no." said Max, knowing that she won't endure it.
Being heavily damaged by Fire Fang, May fell on her back, unable to continue.
"Go rest May. We will win no matter what."
Putting away May's pokeball, Max released Bonny once again, looking more pumped than the last battle.
"Careful Bonny, it's a fast opponent."
{Then I'll have to be faster.}
"Start with Ear Punch."
Despite being slowed down by Sticky Web, Bonny was fast enough to almost hit the manectric, barely dodging her move.
"Okay manectric, voltage 170."
The mega manectric then once again use Thunder Wave, which Bonny dodged in extremis by jumping. Not knowing the mega manectric next attack, Bonny didn't jumped really high. A mistake that will cost her since the mega manectric enveloped itself in electrical energy ball before expending it toward Bonny (Spark). Unable to dodge it, she took the hit directly. Luckily for her it wasn't that much of strong attack, not damaging her a lot.
"Quick, go for voltage 210."
The mega manectric then charge at her with Wild Charge, which she hardly dodged. Only a few inches behind her, the mega manectric turned around to use Thunder Fang. Seeing a bit before it landed it, Max was able to counter attack.
"Go for Flail."
As soon as Bonny was grabbed by the mega manectric electrical fangs, Bonny goes for Flail on him. Being quite damaged by the attack, Bonny's Flail attack was pretty strong, making him took moderate damage.
"Time to finish this. Voltage 250."
The mega magnetric then used Sparkwork again. While dodging the electrical snakes, Bonny barely had the time to see the mega manectric using Thunder Wave. Knowing how to dodge it, Bonny jumped in the air high enough to prevent him for a counter attack. Unfortunately for her, when Bonny landed, the mega manectric had already launched another Thunder Wave, hitting her this time. Paralyzed, Bonny was at the mercy of the mega manectric. Luckily for her, she wasn't hit by any of the electric snakes going at random direction. The electrical pokemon then jumped in the air before being enveloped by thick white energy and heading toward Bonny (Giga Impact).
"Dodge, dodge." Said Max in panic.
Bonny then tried her best to get out of her paralysis. As the mega manectric was a few meters from her, she managed to break free and dodge the attack in extremis. It was so close that her eyebrows brush against the pokemon.
"Okay Bonny, now is the time to unleash your power. Hit him as hard as you can with Return."
With the mega manectric being a bit weakened by his previous move, Bonny was able to gather as much energy as possible. With powerful and thick yellow and white energy literally coming out of her, Max saw a few veins getting bigger on Bonny's legs before she propel herself at her opponent, leaving small bump on the floor under her previously placed feet. Bonny then tackled the weakened pokemon with Return at the full power, sending it fly with a strong shockwave so far away that he hit the dome very hardly, making it do some sparks where the mega manectric landed. When he landed on the ground, he returned to its previous form, not moving anymore and unconscious. Max didn't notice but the gym leader was on one knee before getting up.
"Holy… Come back manectric. You deserved a good rest." He said while returning his pokemon.
"Yeah Bonny, we did it. I knew you could it."
{Yeah!} Happily said Bonny while jumping before running for a hug with her master.
The gym leader then approached Max.
"Geez, that was one hell of a strong move. I never saw a Return attack that powerful. You must have a very special and strong relation with your lopunny.
{More than you think.} Said Bonny while hugging her master's forearms.
Luckily for Max, the only thing that the leader was hearing was her usual pokespeech.
"You can say that. Me and my team are pretty close together."
"I can see how strong that can make them. Keep it like that and you sure to be a strong trainer. Maybe even a champion."
"A trainer champion? That could be cool."
"You do have the potential, that's for sure. So I'm glad to hand you this, the spark badge." Said the man while handing him a badge that was a round yellow ball surrounded by a few thunderbolt symbols.
"Hyes." Said Max, happily taking it.
"You deserved it. Just keep training and nothing will stop you."
"Will do."
"Good news. Good luck on your journey then."
"Thanks."
With that, the gym leader exited the battlefield trough another door while Max goes through the one he came in first. Before leaving the room, Max could have sworn that he saw that he saw a faint disappearing light in a hidden corner.
"Was she… meh, I'll ask later."
{Something's wrong master?} Asked Bonny.
"Oh no, I'm fine. I just thought that I saw something. What about you Bonny?" Asked Max while walking back to the other room.
{A bit tired.}
"I can bet you are. You did well in that battle. You do have become stronger."
{I suppose.}
"Hope you won't doubt yourself from now on."
{Not until I lose again at least.}
While passing the door, Max gave Bonny a displeased glare.
{I'm kidding master.}
"Grha, Scarlet has really stained you good."
"Hope you had a good match." Said the lady on behind the counter.
"I did, thanks. It has ended with my victory."
"Congratulation."
"Thanks." Said Max again.
"Have a good day."
Max and Bonny then exited the building.
"I guess a little stop at the pokemon center could be good."
{Yup, I won't mind a little energy refresh.}
"I'm sure you do."
Max then withdrawn his pokedex to look where the pokemon center could be.
"Oh, again the buildings are conveniently placed. There is one pokemon center not far from here, roughly twenty minute of walk from here.
{It's pretty smart.}
"Indeed. Let's go then."
{Yup.}
Max and Bonny then headed toward the pokemon center to heal his team, which they arrived after ten minutes.
"Okay Bonny, time to get in your pokeball so you can get healed. I'll let you out as soon as it's done."
{No problem master.} She said with a slight tired tone.
Putting her back in her pokeball, Max entered the building and goes toward the counter where a nurse was working on a desk computer.
"Hi sir, what can I do for you?" She politely asked when she noticed him.
"Hi, I'm here to heal my team."
"Of course sir. It should take just a few seconds."
After nodding, Max handed his team capsules to the nurse. After she put them on the energizer machine behind her, gentle yellow lightning bolt passed through them. Like she said, after a few seconds, she brought back to Max.
"Here you go sir, your team should be top shape now."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. Continue to take care of your pokemon."
"Will do."
After they both nodded, Max exited the building before letting out his team again.
{That's more like it.} Said Bonny, a lot more energized than before.
{So master, did we win?} Asked Dusk.
"Yes Dusk, we did it. All thanks to all of you."
{Look like training did pay off.} Said Bonny.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that we must cut loose on the training. Stronger opponent will coming."
{Even though I beat two of them by myself, you're right.} Said Bonny, getting a bit cocky.
{Wait!? You beat two of them?} Said May, a bit surprised.
{Yeah, why?}
{I didn't beat any. So that means Dusk beat the other one?}
{Pretty much.}
"Bonny." Said Max, knowing where May was going with that.
{That's not fair.} Said May, getting upset.
"May…"
{I'm the only one that didn't beat any. Talk about a useless pokemon.} She angrily said while crossing her arms.
"Stop it right now May." Said Max a bit roughly, but not too much to not sound too authoritarian.
May stayed silent while looking away, a bit mad.
"No one in my team is worthless okay, I already told you." Said Max while kneeled toward May.
{I lost when even Dusk against one.}
"No need to get over Dusk or the others for that okay. It happen May, everyone can lose from time to time. You have seen how Bonny had reacted to her defeat. You're not the only one."
Again, May stayed silent.
{Master is right May. And you did make difference. If you didn't weaken that manectric, I probably wouldn't have beaten her.}
"That manectric was a female?" Asked Max.
{Hummm, yes. What? You didn't notice?}
"Not really."
{'sigh' Humans are not good observer. Good thing for you that me and Scarlet are females, otherwise you could have end up with a nasty surprise.}
"Yeah, thanks for that very nice image."
{You're welcome.}
"But gardevoir are only female so, I was pretty safe with her."
{Lucky you. But who knows, maybe there are some male gardevoir out there somewhere.}
"Hope not. That will be strange to see male gardevoir, with their physique and all."
{Eh, if it was the case, I'm sure even male pokemon could mistake them for female. They would be the one to have the nasty surprise.}
"Okay, enough with pokemon dicks."
Bonny then chuckled a bit, which seem to ease May's anger.
{I have to say May, I only won because I had a type advantage against that pokemon.} Explained Dusk.
May then sighed, understanding that they were right and it was no use to be upset for something that trivial.
{No Dusk, you also won because you got stronger. I'm sorry master, I shouldn't have reacted like this.} She said while turning toward her master with a guilty expression.
"That's okay's May. No one likes to lose, so I can understand." He said while petting her head.
{W-well… as long I don't lose you… I-I lost nothing.} Said May, embarrassed at saying those very honest and warm words while hugging his leg.
Max was a bit surprise by her boldness and her optimism fueled by his own person.
"That's… a very sweet and good way of thinking May." He said while petting that place she really like, which made her glee in happiness, bringing a smile to the others.
"Okay girls, do you want to do something special before leaving?"
The team then thought for a bit.
[What about going to that mall to look for supplies?] Said Scarlet's voice inside Max's head.
"That's right, almost forgot."
Max's pokemon then looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What about a little excursion in the mall."
{I go wherever you go master.} Said Bonny.
"Come on Bonny, have some free will." Said Max, teasing her a bit.
"You can decide on whatever you want to do. You're not my slave."
{Hmmm… okay master. My free will tells me that I want to be always with you and go wherever you want.} She said with a semi-arrogant smile.
Max then sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Alright, I get it. That mall it is then."
{Yaay.} Said Bonny.
"Do you want to follow me or go back to your pokeball girls? The place is pretty big and will probably be filled with others humans."
{I'm a big girl master. If I ever get lost, all I'll have to do is track your scent.} Said Bonny.
{Me too master.} Added Dusk.
"I knew it was easy for Dusk, but I didn't know that lopunny also had good smelling sense."
{There is a lot for you to learn about a lopunny's anatomy. I could gladly teach to you everything you need to know.} She seductively said.
"I don't even doubt you my cutesy bunny."
Bonny wasn't sure that she like the little nickname, but since it was her beloved master, she didn't mind that much.
{What about me master? I can't track scent.} Commented May.
"Then you my little May will have the privilege to be close to me all the time."
{Yaay!} Happily exclaimed May while raising her arms so that Max can grab her.
(Me and my big mouth.) Thought Bonny, a bit jealous of May.
Taking May in his arms, Max then headed back to the subway station they used to come for the gym to get back to the mall they saw when they arrived. After the entered the station, they waited a few minutes for the subway to come. When it arrived, Max and his team got inside and waited until it took them to their destination. A little while later, they finally reached it, left the subway station and headed toward the huge poke mart.
{Wow, it's big.} Said May when they arrived in front of it.
{Now I understand why you were worried master.} Said Dusk, also impressed.
"If we stay close to each other, nothing wrong should happen." Said Max while putting May on the top of his packsack behind his head.
Max and his team then entered the building. Since it was made to be more about height that width, Max saw maybe five shop entrance on his right and left with an elevator and stairs at the bottom with many peoples roaming through the place.
"Okay… where should we start?"
{There is a plan here master.} Said Bonny that was in front of a big panel a bit further.
"Good job Bonny."
Getting in front of it himself, Max eyed the plan with the shops description.
"There are ten floors of shops in total." He said.
"Ah, a trainer camping shops at the fourth floor."
{Just to warn you master, I'll take the stairs.} Said Bonny.
"Sure thing."
Max then goes at the bottom of the building and goes to the fourth floor by stairs. Max then goes to the camping shop badly named as 'Trainer Star'.
"Waow! It's a quite huge and chic shop." Said Max when entering it.
All across the shop there was good looking materials for the perfect little trainer camper.
{I'm sure they have everything we could possibly need here.} Commented Bonny.
"Let's go for a tour and find out."
Bonny then followed Max through the shop alleys. The first one contains things like small gas heater or non-pokemon bug repellant.
{Do you think we need one of those master?} Asked May.
"I don't think so. Dusk can take care of the small insects with her flames. She's also a heater herself." Said Max while petting Dusk's head, making her smile.
{And so does Scarlet.} Added Bonny.
"True."
The next department was for tents.
"Damn, there is a lot of variety here." Said Max while eyeing the shelves that were all filled with different tents.
After he checked some of them, he stopped in front of one.
"This one looks big. And cost 900$."
{I don't think we need a big one like this.} Said Bonny.
"Yeah, this one could contain an onix."
{What about this one?} Said Dusk that was in front of another one.
"Let's see… 350$? It's a bit better."
Max took the tents packing to check how many persons it can fit.
"Up to eight persons. Hmm, interesting. I think I'll take it."
While turning around to continue their shopping, Max didn't know that Bonny was gone when she arrived from nowhere with a shopping cart.
{Will you need this?} Asked Bonny.
"Yes. Thanks Bonny."
After petting her head, Max put the tent box in the cart before moving on. The next department had also a few nice things like inflatable pillow.
"That should be handy. With Scarlet… eight should be enough, just in case. They are just 25$ each anyway." He said while putting them in his cart.
{Don't know if we will even use it since we use you as a pillow.} Said Bonny.
"Just in case."
Max then saw on a further racking some adventuring packsack.
"Damn! This one is way bigger than mine." He said when one of them caught his attention.
"Since it can hold more stuff, it has even belts for chest support so your back won't take all the weight. 140$ is a bit expensive but I'm sure it's worth it." He said while putting the packsack as well.
Continuing is tour with his pokemon, Max bought a bunch of other useful things like spare clothes, a bigger water canister, a few inflatable mattresses, just in case, and a few sheets for colder night. When he had pretty much everything he needed, he headed toward the counter to pay.
"That will a total of 890$ sir." Said the girl cashier.
"Here we go." Said Max after handed her the money.
"Thank you sir. Have a good day."
"You too. But I must ask, do you take old stuffs? I probably won't need my old packsack and tent anymore."
"Sorry sir, but the politic prevent us from taking items from customers."
"Oh, okay. Thanks anyway."
Luckily for him, someone who was also shopping for camping equipment heard him.
"Excuse me, but if you sell it at a low price, I won't mind taking it." Said a girl coming toward him.
"Sure. 100$ will it be alright? The tent was barely used."
"That's indeed a better price. I'll take them."
"Deal. I'll just transfer my things and it's all yours."
Under the look of a pretty displeased cashier, Max took all of stuff from his now old stuff and put it in his new one.
"Here you go." He said while handing to her everything he didn't need anymore.
"Thanks. I was quite low on my budget. You really help me out."
"No problem."
After he waved goodbye at the leaving girl, Max then put also all of his new bought stuff in his new packsack. When everything was set and ready, Max put the new filled sack on his back.
"Shit. It's heavier than my last one. Good things it has those belts."
Max then attached the chest belts and put back May on the top it behind his head again. With her one it, the weight was pretty much Max's limit, happy that he didn't bought anything else. After exiting the building, Max was thinking that he had everything he needed when he passed in front of a luxuriant looking pokemon shop.
"The MegaShop?" Read Max.
"What do you say girls? Care to see what it's there?" Asked Max.
{Sure thing.} Said Bonny.
Max and his team then go inside the shop. The first thing that caught Max eye was a glass stand at the bottom of the shop. Getting closer, Max was astonished by what they were selling.
"Are these…"
"Mega stones? Yes sir." Said the male cashier behind the stand.
"Woah." Exclaimed while starring at them.
"Unfortunately we don't have a lot of them."
The stand was indeed not very full, with only twelve of them.
{What are these master?} Asked May.
"There are mega stone May. It allows pokemon to temporarily evolve in a stronger form.
{Ooooh.} Exclaimed May, impressed.
Eyeing them, Max noticed two in particular.
"Are these a lopunnite and gardevoirite?"
"Of course."
"How much does it cost?"
"Each mega stone are worth 5000."
"Holy…"
Max then goes for his budget and counted.
"Damn. I only have enough to buy one. And I think that I also need a key stone."
"Yes. But fortunately for you, they are a lot less expensive at only 1000$"
"Shit. It stills a pretty a huge amount of money. But I still have enough for it too. But which one should I buy?"
(Scarlet? Can I ask you something?) Thought Max, wanting to join Scarlet.
Max then waited a moment, fainting thinking which one he wanted to choose.
(Scarlet?)
Strangely to him, Scarlet wasn't responding.
(Hope nothing bad is happening to her)
"Did you make your choice sir?"
"Not yet. Hmm, is there something here that can prevent psychic pokemon to use their power?" Asked Max.
"Why yes sir. The building is filled with anti-psychic thievery system preventing psychic pokemon to steal anything in the mall."
(That's why I can't talk to Scarlet.)
"Why do you ask? Do you have any psychic pokemon with you?" said the man, looking suspiciously at him.
"Not really." Lied Max.
"I just had already heard about psychic pokemon stealing from some shop with their power.
"It does happen. So that's why the mall spent a huge amount of money to protect their shops."
"I understand."
"And what about the mega stones? Still want to buy one?"
"Sure."
Max didn't have noticed but Bonny was staring at the mega stone that she recognised as the lopunnite.
"… I'll go with the lopunnite." Said Max, knowing that Bonny won't pass an opportunity to get stronger.
{Are you sure master? I mean, Scarlet probably would have wanted hers too.}
"Don't worry Bonny. Scarlet is already very strong. And I know that you really want it."
{Not… especially.} Lied bonny, trying to feign that she didn't care, but failed.
"Sure Bonny, you're just almost drooling."
{What?} She said while trying to whip the none-existent drooling.
"Just kidding." He said petting her head.
"So the lopunnite it is then. And with a key stone?"
"Of course."
"Alright. Do you want any pokemon ornament in the shop to place your mega stone on?"
"Why not."
"Great. Just look around while I'm preparing your stones."
"Okay."
Max then left the counter and goes for a small tour of the shop for something that Bonny could wear with her mega stone. Various choices were presented to him. Bracelets, necklaces, belts, etc.
"What about that Bonny." Said Max while showing her a small blue scarf specially design to hold a mega stone.
{That's awesome! But I prefer the red one.}
"This one?" He said while picking the red one instead.
{Yes. I will look cool with that.}
"Let's take it then."
{Will I be able someday to 'mega' evolve too master?} Asked May.
"Yes May. But I firstly need to get my hand the one that make you. Maybe I should take one for you and Scarlet for when I got your mega stone." Said Max while eyeing the ornaments.
{I wonder how I would look like.}
"I saw it and it's pretty cool."
{Really?}
"Yeah. You were bigger and with two giant Maws."
{Woaah. Can't wait to mega evolve.}
"How about that?" Said Max while showing her a very pretty hair scrunchies.
{It's perfect!} Exclaimed May, loving it.
"Good. And it's not very expensive."
Max then looked for what Scarlet could like. He then came across two choice. Either a black leather choker that he find really cool, or a more feminine thing like a necklace, which could fit pretty well on her. Max wasn't into girly thing and could almost bet that Scarlet neither. Unfortunately, he still didn't know her that much, but had a feeling that she would prefer the choker, but it could be just his own desire.
{A problem master?} Asked Bonny.
"I don't know what Scarlet would like most between those two." Said Max while showing her his dilemma.
{Hmm, I wish I could help you, but I don't know her that much.}
Max thought for a moment.
{Why not buy both of them and ask her later sine yout can't right now.}
"… I guess. The choker is okay but the necklace isn't cheap. But I still can buy both of them."
"Here you go sir." Said the man behind the counter with his mega stone and bracelet that had a key stone on it.
Finally deciding to take both of them, Max walk back to the counter with four new items.
"Thanks. I'll also take those." He said before putting everything on the counter.
"Okay. That will do a total of 6110$"
Max then handed him almost the rest of his money, leaving him with almost nothing now.
"Thank you. Do you know how mega evolution works?"
"Yes. You need to be in sync with your pokemon and very close to them."
"True. But did you also know that the mega evolution power depend on your own power?"
"Hmm, not really."
"Then I'll gladly explain it to you. Like I said, mega evolution depends in the power of the owner, which mean, the stronger the trainer is, the stronger the pokemon and the mega evolution will be. Also, energy and resilience and shared between the pokemon and the trainer, which means that the tougher the trainer is to hit and pain, the more tougher and enduring your pokemon will be. If your body can't take the pressure, the mega evolution will immediately end."
"Oh, so that means that I also have to strengthen my body in order for the mega evolution to work efficiently?"
"Precisely."
"Oh, really good to know."
"I wish you good luck with your mega evolution then."
"Thanks."
"Have a good day."
After nodding, Max exited the shop with the others.
"It was a bit expensive and now we are almost broke, but it was worth it." Said Max after putting the key stone bracelet on his wrist that didn't have the Ergowatch.
Max then put the mega stone on the red scarf before kneeling to Bonny.
"It was worth seeing my little Bonny happy." He continued while attaching the scarf around her neck.
After it was attached, Max wanted to stand up but was stopped by Bonny who had put her hands on his cheeks.
{… Thanks master.} She said with very pleased and intense eyes.
"N-no problem." He nervously said.
Quickly looking around, Bonny saw that no one was looking and goes a quick passionate kiss to her master.
"B-Bonny, not here."
{No one was looking master and I couldn't just walk without a proper thank you.}
"We still have nights for that." Lowly said Max so that the other couldn't hear.
{Oh I will. You can bet anything you want on that.} She said with a lustful and almost predatory face before releasing his cheeks.
"Can't wait." He said before standing up.
"I think we're done here. Time to leave and go for the next gym battle."
While leaving the building, Bonny was staring at her new acquisition while Max was looking in his pokedex for the next destination.
{Master? Why did Bonny kiss you like Scarlet does?} Asked May.
"Oh, hem, it's just an affection display. Sometime, when you really like someone, something like that is common."
{Will I ever have a kiss like that?}
Too busy with her cool looking scarf and mega stone, Bonny wasn't really with them mentally, making Max looking at Dusk instead for a little help.
{D-don't look at me master, I don't know either what to answer.} She shyly and embarrassedly said.
"Well… you know May… It's a bit reserved to someone you really love."
{I do master.}
"Well… like really really."
{But I do master.}
"Hmmm, how about we talk about that a bit later."
{… Okay.} Said Mat, a bit upset.
After a few minutes, the gang was outside the mall.
"Okay. Next destination is RedfieldTown, a pretty rural town. Cool."
[Master, you there?] Said scarlet voice.
"Oh Scarlet, glad to hear you again."
[I've been trying to talk to you since a moment now. I was starting to get worried.]
"Yeah, that mall had some anti psychic type security system to prevent some 'stealing'."
[What kind of pokemon will lower themselves to do such things like stealing?] Mocked Scarlet.
"I don't know, some bad girls maybe."
[Wait until I'm with you and I'll show what a bad girl can do.]
"Stop scaring me like that Scarlet, it's bad for my health." Also mocked Max.
[Oh, it's on.]
"Damnit. Well, we're about to the leave the city so, you'll be able to join us soon."
[Great.]
"And I also some surprises."
[Really?]
"Yeah. I'm sure you'll like it."
[Can't wait then.]
"Yup. Come on girls, let's leave this place."
{Master?} Asked Dusk.
"Yes Dusk?"
{Can I go back to my pokeball? I'm feeling really tired all of a sudden.}
"Of course. But do you feel pain anywhere?"
{No, just really tired.}
"Okay. Take a good rest then."
After putting Dusk to her pokeball, Max headed toward the subway station again since the exit for his next destination was at the other end of the city. Traveling in the subway for maybe ten minutes before leaving the station when arrived at destination, Max, May and Bonny walked for a few minutes until they reached the edge of the city. There was road for vehicles and one for pedestrians passing through the woods, going at the same place but with distance between them. As soon as Max and his team passed the gate that was leading outside the city, Scarlet teleported back to them.
{Hi everyone.}
"Welcome back beauty." Said Max.
[Don't try to redeem yourself. Bad girls don't forgive.] Said Scarlet with a wink.
"I know that. Here's one of the surprise."
{I have a mega stone now, which mean that I can mega evolve now.} Proudly said Bonny while showing her scarf to Scarlet.
{Oh, that's good news.}
Oddly, Max wasn't expecting big jealousy from her, but maybe at least a little. But no, not even a tiny bitsy bit of it, just a slight happiness and proudness feeling.
{Again, you got stronger for master huh?} She said.
{Indeed. With that, nothing will even touch a single hair of him.} Said Bonny with determination.
{Glad to see we're on the same page.}
"And the other surprises are those." Said Max while turning around, showing his newly acquired packsack.
"A bigger bag and bigger tent like we wanted, plus some new useful things. Sleeping in the woods will be almost as comfortable as a home now."
[That's really great. And in the nature, we can scream as loud as we want.] She said perverted eyes.
"Yeah, but we still can disturb some pokemon."
[They don't mind.]
"I also bought you those. I didn't know which one you would like so I took both of them." Said Max while showing her the choker and the necklace.
[Are they… ornaments that can hold a mega stone?]
"Yes. Which one do you want?"
[It's really nice of you master for thinking about me.]
With her master innocently shrouding his shoulders, Scarlet then eyed the two options she had a short moment before choosing the black choker.
[I'll take it, since it's the one you like the most. And before oyu start saying things what I want, I also prefer that choker than that girly thing that is that necklace.]
"Eh, my instinct was just fine then."
As Max was about to put it away, Scarlet interrupted him.
[You don't give it to me?]
"Hmm… well, since you don't have your mega stone yet…"
[Why should it prevent me for wearing it?]
"… For no reason I guess."
Scarlet then turned around so Max could attach it to her neck. Going behind her, Max then strapped the choker from behind before she turned around again and gently touched it.
[Thanks master. Does it look good on me?]
"It does, even if you look meaner with that."
[Then it's perfect.]
"I suppose." Said Max while chuckling a bit.
{What about me master? Can I also wear the thing you bought me?} Asked May.
"Sure thing May if it's your desire."
Putting her on the ground, Max then put on her the scrunchies at the base of her maw that was attached to her head.
"Good thing that it's tensile, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pass it through your big maw." Said Max after he put the scrunchies.
{Do I also look good?} Said May while making a spin on herself.
"Like a little princess." Said Max while petting her head.
[So, where to next?]
"RedfieldTown. A few days of walk from here." Said Max after standing up and put back May behind his head.
[Okay.]
{I think it's time for me to have a little rest. I walked enough for the rest of the week.} Said Bonny while stretching her arms.
"I was wandering how long my lazy lopunny could endure the ordeal of walking."
{Too much actually.}
"Hehe, you too have a good rest. Thanks for the day." He said while returning her to her pokeball.
"What about you May?"
{I'm fine here.}
"Okay. Ready to move on Scarlet?"
[Always are master.]
"Then let's go."
Now more ready than ever for a journey, Max, Scarlet and May began to walk toward the next gym leader at RedfieldTown.
