A/N: Hello lovelies, I've got another chapter for you guys to enjoy today. And once more we've got a chapter that has some lemony content in it.
Tyler: *opens his mouth*
DrPhill26: I mean Nomel Berry, okay there now I'm the one saying it, not you... actually hold up, that's not quite correct.
Tyler: What do you mean?
DrPhill26: Well, it's not really a full on lemon like the last three chapters, like nothing really crazy happens. But what does happen is still of that nature.
Wendy: You mean the content is like what it was back in Chapters 8 and 9 where we just talked about stuff but don't actually do anything fun?
DrPhill26: Not quite, there's still an actual pervy scene later in this chapter. But it's not a full lemon, it's like a half lemon, er Nomel Berry. You're the berry expert here Tyler, what's a less intense version of a Nomel Berry?
Tyler: Well, Nomel Berries are mostly sour with a bit of a spice to it... So I guess a less sour version of that would be a Pinap Berry.
DrPhill26: Pinap Berry? That sounds a lot like a Pineapple... no that won't do, it doesn't look anything like at all like a lime.
Wendy: What's a lime?
DrPhill26: Is there any berry that looks like a Nomel Berry and is sour like one, but still not as intense as one?
Tyler: Um... oh! I think you described a Wepear Berry. The only difference is that it's bitter instead of spicy, but otherwise that's exactly what you just described.
DrPhill26: Perfect! Enjoy the Wepear Berry everyone... dammit that sounds really stupid. I think I'm gonna stick with Lime. But yeah, enjoy yourselves guys!
Tyler looked at the sheet of paper in his hand with Dr. LaSalle's scribbles on it and then at the door before him, making sure the room numbers matched. The note the doctor gave him said to be at room 255 at 4:00 today for what Tyler assumed to be a test of some sort. Tyler looked back at the clock on the wall behind him, which said that he was about five minutes early. Shrugging his shoulders lightly, he knocked four times on the door and waited for a response but he didn't get one.
"Hello?" Tyler asked as he knocked on the door once again and once more heard no response. He grabbed the handle and gave it a turn, noticing the door was unlocked. With another shrug of his shoulders Tyler opened the door and stepped into the room closing it lightly behind him. When he turned back around, he was taken aback by what he saw.
He had expected an otherwise ordinary examination room but instead saw before him a lowly lit room with a table, pillow and a basket holding towels in it. Raising a confused eyebrow, Tyler stepped towards the room, walking past another table with burning sticks of incense that bathed the room in the pleasing scents of vanilla and lavender. He couldn't see a place for him to sit down in the room, so Tyler just propped himself on the table, lazily dangling his legs off the edge as he reached back into his pocket for the note.
"I'm pretty sure this says come to room 255." Tyler thought as he stared at the paper. "Then again the doc's handwriting is so crappy; I wouldn't at all be surprised if this was just him trying to scribble on paper to see if the pen works. I can't read his damn handwriting at all." He crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it over his shoulder. As the paper fell to the ground, the door handle rattled, snapping Tyler's attention to it and making his heart race. After what had happened in the bathroom the other day with him and Wendy, each time he'd heard a doorknob rattle it caused his heart to skip a beat. The door opened and in stepped a nurse who walked confidently into the room and stood besides Tyler.
"Hello Mr. Lawson. Do you mind if I call you Tyler?" The nurse smiled behind her thin framed glasses as she extended a hand to Tyler who shook his head politely. He grabbed her outstretched hand and shook it, noting her hands were delicately soft and a little bit slippery for whatever reason. "My name is Amanda. I've been asked to give you some massage therapy today as part of the recovery process for your injured shoulder."
"Um… okay?" Tyler shyly replied looking at his feet. A pretty, raven haired nurse with glasses was going to be providing him treatment today? He couldn't help but be reminded of his favorite adult fantasy of the nurse treating her patients again. But even though in the back of his mind Tyler knew that nothing was going to happen between him and the nurse, he couldn't deny that he was already starting to feel aroused, which only made him more uncomfortable.
"You don't need to be nervous at all Tyler; I am professionally trained as a masseuse. I can assure you that you'll be in good hands." Nurse Amanda grabbed the basket sitting besides Tyler and placed it on a counter a short ways away and began inspecting its contents. "Now as part of the therapy today I am going to have to ask you to take off your shirt. So if you don't mind doing that while I get set up over here that would be great."
"Oh God this is actually happening!" Tyler screamed in his head as his face exploded in cherry red blush. His mind froze while his body began fidgeting nervously in place. The nurse apparently didn't notice as she continued unpacking supplies from the basket she'd picked up earlier. She placed the towels off to the side as well as a bottle of lotion. Once she'd finished, she reached into the pocket of her teal colored nursing scrubs, pulled out a Poké ball and enlarged it.
"Come on out Ash." A silvery flash of light broke Tyler out of his trance and he looked towards the nurse, seeing the energy morph into the body of a Flareon standing besides her. She opened a hanging cabinet above the countertop and took out a large metallic box, removing the lid and adding a small amount of water to its contents. After a moment of balancing the water with its contents in the box, she placed the box on the floor next to her Flareon. "Can you do me a favor and warm up these stones for me?"
"Flare Flareon!" Ash smiled proudly as he stepped into the open box and laid his body on top of it. After positioning himself better, the Flareon's body began glowing with a reddish orange hue and Tyler soon felt the atmosphere of the room become insulated with a light heat.
"Thanks Ash, and while you're at it, could you heat up the whole room too?" Ash nodded his head and intensified the radiation of heat as a few waves of orange warmth became visible surrounding the Flareon's body. Tyler noticed the box beneath Ash seemed like it was resisting the heat in some way but he couldn't see how. "I thought I told you to take off your shirt Mr. Lawson." The nurse impatiently sighed as she turned around and placed her hand on her hip.
"S-sorry! I'll get right on that." The nurse sighed once more at the nervous squeak that came out of Tyler's mouth. As he grabbed his shirt and slowly started pulling it over his head, Tyler couldn't help but notice the feeling of déjà vu creeping in his mind as yet again he was being yelled at by an attractive woman for wearing clothes in a hospital. As Tyler pulled his shirt off over his head the first thing he saw was the nurse standing before him with a small frown on her face. The unexpected sight made Tyler flinch backwards startled and almost fall off the table. Amanda reached around his body, holding him steady and then firmly as she crouched down to his eye level.
"Tyler, I need you to relax okay? That's why we're here today." She spoke firmly as Tyler finally looked her in the eyes. "The reason we're here today is to make you feel as good as possible, and I'm here to help with that. But I can see it in your eyes that you're really uncomfortable with this situation right now. So is there anything I can do to help you feel better?" Tyler shyly once again looked down at his lap and mumbled something. Nurse Amanda rolled her eyes and grabbed Tyler's head, forcing him to look at her. "Please Tyler. I want to help you. How can I make you feel more comfortable?"
"Well… there is something, but I don't know how to say it."
"Anything Tyler, I'll do anything for you to make this experience more pleasurable for you." Tyler silently stared at his hands as his face became even more flushed red.
"This might sound strange but…"
"But?"
"Can you… can you please try not to say things that can be… misconstrued?" The nurse blinked at him a couple times as she leaned back from him confused.
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
"Well, I mean… forgive me if this comment is out of line but, you're a very attractive woman. And it's not anything like I'm uncomfortable with the idea of you touching me; I understand that it's apart of your job. But I have a girlfriend, and some of the things you've said have…"
"OH MY GOD! I am so sorry!" Nurse Amanda interrupted as she stood up and backed away from Tyler before bowing politely before him. "I didn't realize that it was what I was saying that was making you uncomfortable. I was thinking that it was… oh god this is so embarrassing. I'm really sorry."
"No, it's my fault too. I should have spoken up earlier. And I'm probably overreacting on myself. I should have known you weren't trying to say anything intentionally." Tyler looked up and saw the nurse's face had turned just as bright red as his was which brought a smile to his face. "You know, I'm actually kind of glad you reacted the way you did just now. I was starting to wonder if everyone in Sinnoh had an intentionally perverted sense of humor."
"I can assure you that I most definitely do not have one." Nurse Amanda said quite adamantly. "I don't even like talking about stuff of that nature. It just makes me uncomfortable."
"Thank you!" Tyler shouted as the tension that silenced him a moment ago began evaporating away from him. "Finally, somebody who understands how I feel. I swear my girlfriend could learn a thing or two from you on showing some restraint with just how openly she talks about her sex life. Or should I say our sex life considering now I'm part of it."
"Ugh, I have the same damn problem with half the nurses here as well. Whenever I have to work night shifts, I have to put up with this one group of nurses fresh out of medical school who never stop complaining about how they would much rather be having a wild night of drinking and hooking up with some random guy or sometimes multiple guys at a club instead of doing their actual jobs. I mean if getting plowed both literally and figuratively is your idea of a life, then quit being a nurse and go become a pornstar and leave me to do my job." The nurse continued mumbling a string of words under her breath as Tyler looked at her with an amused grin. It was nice to see someone act with a sense of restraint, unlike a pair of other women that he knew. "I'm sorry if I'm getting distracted. I think some of Dr LaSalle's quirks are starting to rub off on me." Nurse Amanda continued s she apologetically bowed a second time.
"Ah it's no big deal. I'm glad to see that you at least have a sense of dedication to your work and a strong sense of humility as well." Tyler held out his hand once again to the nurse. "Shall we try this again? My name is Tyler, it's very nice to meet you ma'am."
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Tyler. My name is Amanda Kohl, you can call me Nurse Amanda or Nurse Kohl if you'd like; I'm fine with either one." The two of them shook hands once again and smiled politely at each other. "Now like I was saying earlier, I'm going to be giving you massage therapy today to help treat your shoulder injury."
"So, what exactly does that mean? I've never done massage therapy before so I don't know what to expect."
"Then allow me to inform you. But first I need you to lie down on your stomach please." Tyler nodded his head as he stretched out on the table he was sitting on. Nurse Amanda turned back around back to the basket and its contents back on the counter. "The short version is that you're getting an upper body massage, focusing a bit more on the shoulders to relieve the muscular tension that has built up from not being able to move the muscles in your shoulder properly over the past week."
"Okay, sounds simple enough." Tyler nodded as he looked back at the Flareon in the corner of the room. "So why is your Flareon superheating the room?"
"That's because the muscles of the body are more relaxed in a warm environment. So if we heat the room, your muscles relax more and it becomes easier for me to massage the stiffness out of your body." Nurse Amanda grabbed a towel off the counter and began rolling it up while she spoke. "If you didn't notice, Snowpoint City is often very cold and prone to snowfall year round. Because of the constantly cold air in the city, a lot of people come in complaining about muscle stiffness and joint aches, especially the elderly. So we often prescribe massage therapy as an alternative way of relieving the aches and pains as a more calming and cost effective alternative to popping a pill twice a day. And the best environment to give a massage is a warm one, so that's why Ash is here." One she's finished her explanation, Amanda placed the now rolled up towel beneath Tyler's ankles.
"What about the box it's lying in?" The Flareon perked its head up at Tyler's comment and looked at him curiously. "Is that just so he doesn't scorch the floor?"
"Actually that box contains heated stones that we use for more direct stimulation of trouble spots with significant stress buildup, like with your shoulder and along the spine. That and I don't know about you, but I think Ash just looks cute when he's lying in the box like this."
"Flare." Ash mewed quietly as his trainer lightly pet his forehead.
"I think we're good for now Ash, you can dial it back a bit." The Flareon nodded as he stood off the box letting the nurse pick it up. Ash shook the water off himself before the nurse took another towel and lightly dried him off. As she finished, she picked up the box, placing it on the counter once again while the Flareon wandered over towards Tyler and sat before him.
"Well hi friend." Tyler smiled as he looked at the fiery ball of fur sitting in front of him. He started making faces at the Pokémon, who began copying him. Both of them started sticking their tongues out at each other, puffing up their cheeks and making other dumb looks as they acted like a pair of kids and making Tyler quietly laugh to himself.
"Hey, don't mean to interrupt you and Ash having fun but I need to tuck a towel into the waist of your pants. It's so we don't get any massage oil down there. I just wanted to let you know so you didn't think I was doing anything weird." Nurse Amanda said as she placed a rolled up towel beneath Tyler's ankles.
"Yeah yeah do whatever you need to. You're the moose here."
"It's masseuse, not moose you goof." Nurse Amanda laughed as she watched Ash continue to make faces with Tyler. "You and Ash seem to be getting along well. I take it you like the Eeveelutions."
"Who doesn't?" Tyler teased as the nurse began pushing the edges of a second towel into his jeans. "I've got an Eevee who evolved into a Glaceon just the other day. In fact, she's part of the reason I'm even here in the first place."
"Oh no. What happened?" Tyler briefly explained what had happened to him a few nights ago after his moped accident and the subsequent night on Mt. Cornet while she tucked the rest of the towel in his waist. "Wow… I'm glad that both of you are okay. Both of you should be a lot worse off than how you are, especially you."
"You're telling me." Tyler replied as he continued making faces with Ash. "Alright so what's the next step?"
"Applying the oil." Nurse Amanda said as she turned around and grabbed a bottle and opened it. She poured a small amount into her hands, rubbing the oil into her hands for a moment before turning back towards Tyler and taking the bottle with her. "It should be obvious, but the oil helps to relax your muscles as well as reduce the friction from me massaging you. This particular one is also good for your skin, and personally, I like the smell of it." She held the bottle beneath Tyler's nose and he took a whiff of it.
"I like it too, smells like Sitrus Berries."
"Good, so shall we begin?" Tyler nodded as he let out a deep exhale and sandwiched the pillow between his head and his arms, resting his head on top of it. The nurse lightly poured oil on Tyler's back making him shiver from shock of the lightly warmed oil dripping along his back. A small puddle of the transparent oil formed between his shoulders and down his spine. "Let me know if anything feels uncomfortable in anyway, okay?"
"Can do." Tyler flashed her a thumbs up as she placed her hands on his back at the base of his spine just below the oily puddle. Another shiver went up his spine as the nurse's soft touch began spreading the oil across his upper back and began kneading it into his skin. Tyler let out a comfortable sigh as she kept pressing into his shoulder blades, weaving her fingers across his back with just the perfect amount of pressure.
"Could you hold your arms out like a t-shape please?" Tyler complied as Nurse Amanda continued to rub the oil into his back. With each movement of her hands, she coated his spine and lower back evenly with the berry scented oil before gliding up the right shoulder and spreading working the oil into his right arm. Her soothing touch was spreading wonderfully across Tyler's being and he was already starting to feel quite relaxed, even if the treatment had only just begun.
"So how long have you had Ash?" Tyler asked as he saw the Pokémon stick its tongue out at him.
"Ash is pretty young, only about a year and a half old. I got him from the daycare down in Solaceon when they put him up for adoption." The nurse picked up the bottle and poured another small amount of oil onto his back. "What about your Glaceon?"
"I think Yuki is about the same age, maybe a bit younger." Tyler smiled at Ash again as he saw his princess' smile reflected in the Flareon's.
"Cute. I bet our two Pokémon would get along pretty well if they met."
"You sure about that, Fire and Ice don't exactly get along that well." Tyler commented as the nurse continued to work on his arm. "But if they did, wouldn't it be funny if our two Pokémon had an egg? I bet it'd hatch as a Vaporeon if they did."
"Um no, because when it hatches it would be a… oh wait that was a joke." Nurse Amanda laughed sweetly once she noticed Tyler snickering. "See, I like that kind of humor. It's a bit more innocent and sweet instead of being blatantly in your face. That's pretty clever Tyler."
"I'm just trying to have fun in my life. Laughter is as good a medicine as any."
"How does this massage rank on the scale?"
"Right on up there. Like easily top five worthy." Tyler purred as nurse Amanda continued to weave magic with her fingers moving across to Tyler's other arm."
"Top five already? But we didn't even get to your shoulder yet. Thanks for the compliment Ty… do you mind if I call you Ty?" Tyler shook his head and made a grunting noise. "Okay well I'm going to get to your left shoulder now, so let me know if anything starts feeling uncomfortable." Tyler flashed another thumbs up as the nurse gently moved over his injured shoulder. He let out a sharp inhale through clenched teeth as she stroked the skin around the top of his shoulder. Despite the discomfort, he put up with it as she more gingerly soothed the lightly bruised area on his back. "You hanging in there Ty?"
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Amanda nodded her head as she continued to rub oil into the back of Tyler's arm. The discomfort only lasted a moment longer as she moved farther down his arm. The farther she got away from the afflicted area, the more pleasurable Amanda's gentle touch became. Not much longer after that the nurse had thoroughly coated Tyler's skin in the berry scented oil.
"Alrighty then, time for the next step." Amanda went over to the counter and washed the oil off her hands in a sink.
"And that is?"
"Now we get to use the stones" Amanda smiled as Tyler let out a cheer as she grabbed the metal box Ash was lying in earlier and moved it closer to the massage table. Reaching into the box, the nurse grabbed a stone from the box and held it in her hand before Tyler's face. The stone was just a little bit smaller than the palm of her hands, colored a dark jet black and had a watery sheen to it from being submerged in the water. "Like I said earlier, we'll use these heated stones to apply more direct heat to areas of major stress buildup or places that are hard for me to massage like along your spine."
"Alright, let's do this." The nurse stepped back and placed a stone on the base of Tyler's spine. He felt a swift warmness spread through his spine and spread up through is body that sent a shiver across his body.
"It's not supposed to be cold Tyler." The nurse laughed briefly as she placed another stone a few inches above the first one.
"They're not; the heat just reminds me of home a bit." Tyler quietly chuckled to himself as he thought of his family back in the deserts of Orre.
"I don't think I caught where you were from earlier. Where do you call home Tyler?"
"Orre region, Phenac City to be specific." Tyler replied as another two more stones were positioned along his back. "Being in this warm room just made me realize I haven't called home once since I left home about a month ago… Think I'm gonna have to give them a call later today." The nurse positioned another group of hot stones across his spine, running all the way up to the base of his neck.
"Do you miss them?" She asked beginning to create a second line that began to extend towards his left shoulder.
"A bit, dad probably a bit more than mom or Britney, I really could care less about her. Little sisters am I right?"
"I wouldn't know; I was an only child."
"Consider yourself lucky." Tyler groaned as the nurse finished placing the last group of stones around the top of his shoulder. "Britney used to be a sweet little angel, but once she became a teenager she turned into a bitch. Just constant yelling and screaming and headaches that lasted for weeks."
"That's not very nice of you to say. She's your sister."
"Mom's words not mine. My choice of words would be a lot more colorful."
"Well then, that changes a few things I guess." The nurse said with surprise in her voice. "Okay well we need to let these stones sit for a few minutes to let the heat relax your muscles, so I'm gonna go get some tea and I'll be right back, okay."
"I'll keep Ash company for you." Tyler laughed as he stuck his tongue back out at the Flareon who had curled into a ball before him. Ash saw Tyler teasing him and sprang back to life, mimicking the goofy human once again.
"You do that." Nurse Amanda opened the door and stepped into the hallway. Tyler stared at the door a moment after it closed, closing his eyes for a moment and feeling the heat flowing throughout his body for a few minutes. It felt amazing to have the heated rocks sitting along his back with each one radiating a soothing, almost maternal like warmth into Tyler's body. Together with Ash keeping him entertained, this was the most relaxed he'd felt in years. A thought occurred to him that maybe Tyler should find another way to get himself hurt in order to keep getting this kind of treatment. The thought was short lived as the door opened again and Nurse Amanda returned with a bottle of water in her hand.
"Man did I need this." Amanda placed capped the water once again. "Oh hey, guess who I ran into on my way back here."
"Dr. LaSalle?"
"Not exactly…" Another distinctly carefree feminine voice drifted through the door, which made Tyler both smile quite amusedly as well as roll his eyes unsurprisingly. "Hey Ty."
"Hi Wendy…" Tyler sighed whimsically as he watched his girlfriend poke her head through the door and step inside.
"Jeesh it's hot in here, and for once it's not just you Ty." Wendy laughed as she quickly started fanning herself with a pamphlet hanging on a rack inside the door.
"I think I see what you were talking about earlier." Nurse Amanda giggled quietly as Wendy held the door open with her hand. Wendy's faithful Lucario soon joined the humans in the heated room, propping himself against a wall and meditating. But Wendy didn't close the door behind him just yet.
"Come on, I know Tyler wants to see you." Tyler raised his eyebrow as he looked over at the door before seeing Yuki cautiously poke her head through the door with a frown on her face.
"Yuki! Hi princess!" Tyler's eyes lit up as he saw his beloved Glaceon, but he soon had a frown that matched his Pokémon's as she tried to bravely step into the room but quickly stepped back towards Wendy's legs with ears drooped sadly and her tail hanging between her legs.
"Glae-cie…" Yuki looked back up at Wendy who was trying to encourage her into the room by lightly pushing the Glaceon towards the room with her leg.
"You're making me sad Yuki." Yuki looked regretfully back at her trainer on hearing the sadness in his voice. She looked back into the room once again, raising a paw tentatively before shyly looking back at Wendy once more.
"Glaceon. G-lae Glacie…on, Glae?" She wanted to be with Tyler, but the temperature in the room was just too hot for her. Maybe if they lowered the temperature by a few dozen degrees it might be better for her.
"Please Yuki? Do it for me?" Yuki looked at her trainer. She seemed lost in thought from the puzzled look on her face. But amidst the continued pressure of Wendy's foot and Tyler's increasingly sad looking face Yuki made up her mind. She put on a brave face and took a few cautious steps into the heated massage room much to Tyler's elation. Wendy soon followed her in and closed the door behind her.
"Glacie? Glaceon Glae…" Yuki worriedly looked at the closed door that had now trapped her in the room thickly coated in warmth.
"You'll be fine Yuki. I'm here with you." Wendy said taking a seat on the floor next to her and petting her forehead reassuringly. "It's going to be okay. I'm right here besides you and nothing is going to-OHMYGODITSAFLAREON!"
"Flarie-FLARE! FLAREON!" In the blink of an eye Wendy had literally rolled across the floor and scooped up the now panicked Ash who Wendy was holding high above her body as she lay on her back.
"Look at you so cute, yes you are! Is this your Flareon nurse?" Wendy asked as she pulled the fury fireball close to her body for a hug. "Oh my gosh you're so warm and cuddly! I love you so much!"
"Um… yes, that's Ash, he's my Flareon." Nurse Amanda nervously looked back at Tyler. "Tyler, is she always like this?"
"Unfortunately yes." Tyler sighed as he watched Wendy try to play with Ash who only wanted to wiggle away from her grip. "Any time Wendy meets an Eeveelution of any form this switch flips inside her head. It doesn't matter what mood she's in, the second she sees one or hears one speak, that's the end result."
"Hi Ash! My name is Wendy. Can we please be friends?" Ash quickly stopped squirming against Wendy's grip and stuck his tongue out at her mockingly. "Why you little…" Wendy stuck her tongue back out at Ash out of annoyance as the Flareon continued to make faces with her.
"Hopefully that's gonna keep her occupied for a while. Can we get back to work here?" Tyler laughed half heartedly as he looked back to the perplexed nurse.
"Yeah… let's do that. I think the stones have been on long enough." Amanda turned back to Tyler and started picking the hot stones off Tyler's spine, placing them back in the metal box from earlier. Once she removed all the stones, she placed her hands along Tyler's shoulders and resumed gently kneading the skin around his shoulders and upper back. He closed his eyes, focusing only on the prodding fingers that ran soft, yet firm patterns along his back, weaving warm relief into his tired body. Every little ache was floating away beneath the nurse's skillfully precise prodding. She knew exactly where and how hard she needed to press into his back in order to bring maximum pleasure to Tyler's core. His own low groans of delight provided a stark contrast to Wendy's high pitched squealing as she continued to play with Ash over in the corner.
"Come on Yuki, let's all play together." Wendy giggled as she rolled herself and Ash over towards the already tired looking Glaceon. "Did you meet Ash yet?" Yuki looked up at the Flareon who lay atop Wendy's chest stuck in her embrace.
"Glae…"
"Flareon?" Ash cocked his head sideways, looking at Yuki with amusement. He held out his paw towards Yuki. "Flare, Flareon?"
"Glacie…" Yuki shook her head and dropped to the floor looking exhausted. It was clear that the heavy heat in the room was taking a severe toll on her ability to stay alert.
"Flare…eon." Ash looked sympathetically at Yuki as he placed his paw on her forehead. "Flareon, F-lare? Flareon?" Yuki only shook her head in response.
"So cute!" Blissful excitement shook Wendy's body as she watched the cuteness going on around her.
"So how we doing nurse?" Tyler asked, completely ignoring whatever it was Wendy was doing with the two Eeveelutions.
"We're almost at the next part." Nurse Amanda replied as she pushed her hands firmly into the skin by Tyler's waist. "Just gotta work this last knot out of your back here and we can continue."
"There's more? You're spoiling me nurse." Tyler laughed as the nurse continued with her treatment. Tyler felt a sudden rush of relief sweep over his back, making him shudder with excitement. "Oh man that felt great! I take it that was the spot you needed to hit?"
"It was, but I wasn't expecting that reaction… Now I need you to roll over onto your back." Tyler did as he was instructed peeling his sticky body off the table and plopping against it with a thump. He could feel a puddle of sweat along his back where his chest lay a moment ago. Meanwhile the nurse had grabbed the bottle of oil once again and poured a small amount into the palm of her hand, rubbing it together to warm it slightly. "Just so you know, it's been a while since I've done this. I apologize in advance if this feels a bit weird."
"Really? Could have fooled me that you're rusty at this. I'm practically turning to jelly beneath your skilled fingers."
"Oh, uh thanks, but that's not exactly what I meant." Nurse Amanda stopped rubbing her hands together and looked at Tyler. "See, a chest massage is a bit more, what's the word I'm looking for… intimate than a back massage is. Not only am I going to be feeling up your chest, I'm also seeing your face while I do it, and you see mine which can be a little bit awkward from time to time. So because I know you have a bit of an issue with things that can be misconstrued, I just want to establish that-"
"Pfft, this thing again?" Tyler completely dismissed the nurse's speech as it began. "I thought I told you already you're free to do whatever you need to. You're the moose thingy here, I trust you completely." The nurse let a quiet giggle slip through her lips as an amused smile curled her lips.
"It's masseuse Tyler. Ma-seusse, like the guy who wrote all those children's books."
"You mean the guy who wrote Delcatty in the hat? My mom used to read me those stories nightly as a kid before I went to bed… man I really need to give them a call once this is done."
"Aw, that's so sweet." The nurse smiled again as she rubbed her hands together once again adding warmth to the oil. "Okay well as long as you trust me. Just let me know if this gets awkward or uncomfortable for you." Amanda brought her oil covered hands down to Tyler's chest a bit cautiously, letting them hover over his pectoral muscles for a moment. A few drops of the scented oil dripped onto his chest, briefly sending a small spark of warmth into his well toned chest.
"He's got a good body doesn't he nurse?" Wendy whispered into the nurse's ear, making her shriek as her hands quickly pushed into Tyler's chest rather painfully.
"Where did you come from?" Amanda looked back at Wendy with an alarmed expression.
"Um, ow! Guy with bruised collarbone here. This kind of hurts a bit." Tyler spoke through clenched teeth as the jolt of pain from the nurse's nails digging stung sharply into his chest.
"Oh, I've been listening to your little conversation for a while now. I heard something about you feeling up my boyfriend and I got curious."
"I'm not trying to feel him up. I'm just giving him a… the doctor thought a massage would be a good form of recovery for his shoulder injury."
"Hey I've got no problem with you giving him a massage." Wendy placed her hand softly on the nurse's shoulder. "You said it yourself, it's for his benefit. But there is still one thing that I do have a problem with."
"Um, hello? Nurse? Shoulder? Pain? Make it go away please."
"W-what would that be ma'am?" The nurse nervously looked at Wendy watching the beginnings of a playful smile show on her lips.
"I want a massage too." Amanda's only response to Wendy's request was to raise her eyebrow suspiciously amidst an unexpected silence.
"I beg your pardon."
"You heard me, I want a massage too. Ty said earlier that you're skilled enough to turn him to jelly. I want to experience the same feeling, and it's been a while since I really spoiled myself and taken a load off. So can I be next?"
"Are you even paying attention to me? I've got a hand digging into my chest here and it hurts like hell!"
"Oh uh, well I'd like to since you sound so eager. But I'm afraid I can't right now."
"Why not?" Wendy pouted childishly as she put her hands on her hips.
"Isn't it obvious?" Both Tyler and the nurse spoke at the same time as they both looked at each other before Tyler continued speaking. "Hey great you're paying attention to me again. Can you please stop digging into my chest with your nails?"
"Ah! I'm sorry Tyler; you should have spoken up earlier if I was hurting you." Amanda apologized as she pulled her hands off Tyler's chest seeing for herself the deep claw marks her nails left in his chest.
"I did! Many times actually, but somebody was too busy paying attention to someone who wasn't her patient to hear his complaints."
"You did? I'm sorry again. I didn't mean to."
"I know you didn't, but that doesn't change the fact that my chest hurts."
"I still don't think I heard an answer to my question." Wendy quietly sulked as she continued growing more impatient with the nurse not responding to her.
"Look, Wendy it's really simple." Tyler spoke critically as he frowned at Wendy's childish nature. "Just wait your turn. We're almost done here and then you can try to convince Amanda here to maybe give you a massage of your own if she's okay with it."
"I'm afraid I'd have to charge you. But if you're okay with that, I'll give you one when we've finished."
"Fine, I'll wait…" Wendy let out a somewhat defeated sigh, but Tyler could see an all too familiar glint of mischief in her eyes as she stepped away from the table and sat down next to Pulse.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Tyler asked himself absentmindedly as he stretched out on the table again.
"Shall we continue where we left off? I'll try not to stab into your chest this time." Tyler nodded as the nurse poured another small amount of oil across her hands, warming them like she had before the interruption. Amanda placed her hands gently along Tyler's chest, lightly rubbing the area where she'd clawed him a moment ago and once again offering an apology for her action. Tyler didn't care, telling her to just forget about it and continue, and Amanda did exactly that. Her hands outlined his now tender pectoral muscles and ran across his abs. Once again Tyler quietly murmured his appreciation over the blissful treatment he was receiving.
As one such gentle wave of delight soared through his being, his head drooped off the edge of the table making him look over at Wendy and the three Pokémon in the room. Ash was trying to elicit some sort of response out of Yuki, who was clearly still suffering in the heated room. It was somewhat cute watching his Glaceon stonewall the Flareon's attempts at being friendly, but at the same time it was kind of upsetting. He knew Yuki didn't want to be in here and suspected that she thought the clueless Ash was being a nuisance with his prodding her forehead and brushing his tail against her body. Wendy still looked upset that she couldn't get the massage she wanted so badly right away. But at least she had the two Eeveelutions to swoon over lying next to her.
Pulse on the other hand seemed to be behaving the most uncharacteristically. While he was still propped up against the wall, he was tossing something up and down in his paw. It looked like one of the heated stones that Tyler had used earlier with the back massage. Normally he wouldn't have paid any mind to it, but it was just so strange to see Pulse do anything that wasn't just propping himself up against a wall and meditating. Further adding to his suspicion was the fact that the Lucario also took fleeting glances towards the table Tyler was lying on with each toss.
But before Tyler could think on it further, Pulse failed to catch the stone on his most recent toss and knocked it towards the massage table. The black rock clacked harmlessly against the floor tiles a few times before coming to a rest on against one of the table legs. Pulse pushed himself off the wall and walked over towards the table and the rock. Amanda noticed this and stopped rubbing oil into Tyler's right arm, leaning up over his chest to see the Lucario approach.
"My apologies for the interruption Sir Tyler. Think nothing of it." Pulse's voice echoed in Tyler's head as he approached the table.
"Yeah, no prob Pulse." Tyler replied.
"Wait what? You can hear him speak? I didn't even hear a growl from him." The nurse stood up completely as she looked at Tyler in shock.
"That's because he didn't say anything, well verbally at least." Tyler began as the Lucario placed his right paw against Tyler's forehead for balance as he bent down to reach for the stone. "Pulse can speak telekinetically with people through their minds."
"It's telepathically Tyler; I believe we have gone over this before. Telekinesis implies-"
"movement not thought, my bad. Still getting used to this stuff." Pulse nodded as he continued to reach for the stone beneath the table before Tyler addressed the nurse again. "Pulse can use telepathy to project his thoughts most often to Wendy's mind. But he can communicate with others like me if he wants to by doing the same thing. It just takes some time to get used to."
"How does he do that?"
"Through Aura manipulation." As Tyler answered the nurse's question, he felt a cold tingle run through his body and his vision briefly hazed with a purple tint. His eyes quickly darted around the room trying to find what made his vision blur when he felt Pulse's paw lift off his head. The Lucario picked himself off the floor with the stone in his hand and looked at Tyler with a playful yet sinister expression on his face.
"Kind of like that…" Tyler whispered to himself as he saw Pulse walk back towards his master, who had seen everything that just happened and flashed her Pokémon a sly grin. A sense of dread came over Tyler as he saw the Lucario's shoulders bob up and down like he was snickering over something. As he sat against the wall again, he handed Wendy the stone and his body became outlined in a faint purple hue once more, with the same aura surrounding Wendy as well. Now Wendy looked at Tyler and rolled the stone Pulse had given her around in her right hand. Just as Tyler suspected, he soon started feeling an invisible pressure rolling around in his own hand that radiated a small amount of heat to it.
"You've got to be kidding me." Tyler panicked internally as he realized that Pulse had linked his aura with Wendy's through Reiki once again.
"Is something wrong Tyler?" The nurse asked, breaking Tyler away from his thoughts. "I'm not pressing your arm too hard am I?"
"Not at all." Tyler half-heartedly replied as he was still looking at Wendy, who offered him a seemingly innocent smile back at him. But Tyler knew better than anyone that beneath the humble facade was a woman with much less than pure intentions.
"That's good, because I'm going to start focusing on your collarbone. I'll try to be gentle but based on how bruised it is, I don't think this is going to feel that good."
"If it's for my benefit, I can endure a little bit of pain." Tyler quietly laughed as he saw some of the color drain from Wendy's face. Apparently her plan, whatever it was, hadn't thought about the sensitivity of Tyler's injury being brought back to her through their aura link.
Nurse Amanda gently placed her hands along Tyler's bruise and sent a shiver of pain through both his and Wendy's body as she did. Tyler smiled as he saw Wendy become inconvenienced with his own pain as the nurse tried her best to stimulate the stressed tissue in his arm. The more she lightly rubbed and poked into the skin on Tyler's body, the more troubled the expression was on Wendy's face. He was trying his hardest to control the laughter brewing inside his chest, but the more he watched Wendy squirm the harder it became for him to sit still. And as he failed to control his body's twitching, the more he moved beneath the nurse's touch. His uncontrolled movement forced Amanda to press harder into Tyler and at different positions than she'd wanted to, which of course only made Wendy's pain increase. Finally Tyler could no longer control his laughter and let a few pained chuckles slip through his lips.
"Tyler can you please hold still." Amanda sighed as she was becoming slightly annoyed by Tyler's inability to restrain himself.
"Oh, I'm sorry nurse. I think the oil made me a bit ticklish." He merrily laughed as he saw Wendy shoot him an evil eye from her spot in the corner.
"Really? That's an interesting place to be ticklish." The nurse commented as she continued to massage Tyler's shoulder a bit more aggressively.
"It's news to me too-oh!" Tyler's voice cracked at the end of his sentence which greatly surprised both him and the nurse. She seemed to brush it off as nothing but Tyler knew better. At the same time his voice inflected upward, he felt a more pleasurable sensation grab firmly onto his chest below where the nurse's hands lay. Looking at Wendy once again, Tyler saw exactly what he suspected as Wendy had pulled her arm inside her sweater and grabbed her own chest, giving her left breast a pair of pleasurable squeezes.
"Are you insane Wendy?!" Tyler's voice screamed in his head as he felt and saw the outline of one of Wendy's fingers begin to run slow, teasing circles around hers and his own nipple through the Reiki link. In an instant she'd managed to turn the tables back in her favor. With a mixture of gentle massaging of her own and an occasionally light pinch, Wendy found her way into treating Tyler's injury. Although Tyler had a more than fleeting suspicion that she was doing this to steal a massage of her own without having to wait.
Still, as he received both direct and indirect stimulation along his wounded shoulder and tender breast from these two different sources, Tyler couldn't help but notice that the pleasure he was now experiencing was exhilarating. He'd never experienced a feeling quite like this one in his chest; a feather-like softness that sent a rush of electricity through his chest with each small but highly blissful movement. Both the nurse and Wendy had adopted an airiness in their touches, gliding softly over Tyler's skin that could only be described as heavenly. He couldn't stay still or silent any longer, letting out a low series of pleasure laced moans that accented each small twitch in his body as the Reiki link with Wendy continued to provide him with pleasure. Wendy took her thumb and started running it back and forth across her nipple in small fast circles, pinching it between her fingers and each time making Tyler's body explode in ecstasy.
"Looks like you're enjoying yourself Tyler." The nurse commented as she began spreading her focus more along his left arm and the edge of his bruises. "I had a feeling that this would hurt a lot more than it appears to be."
"That's just because you're so good with your hands." Tyler warmly exhaled as he kept his gaze on Wendy. Her face was becoming flush, matching Tyler's as the two of them both started getting hotter both from the room and from the stimulation they were receiving from each other. "Honestly I don't want this to end. This feels so amazing."
"Well I'm afraid it has to sooner than later." Nurse Amanda continued to lightly weave her hands down Tyler's arm.
"Psst, Ty... Tyler! Can you do me a favor?" Wendy's voice played this time in his head which greatly surprised him.
"Damn Pulse, that's a pretty good impression of Wendy." Tyler thought back. "If I didn't know any better I'd say that actually was her."
"That's because it is me you idiot." A look of shock quickly shot over Tyler's face.
"Wait what? How?" Wendy rolled her eyes as she looked at Tyler like he was a fool.
"Duh, Pulse linked our auras together. That means we can speak to each other like this."
"It does? Okay now its official, I need to find a way to get a Lucario of my own. There is no way I'm passing this up again."
"Focus Tyler, I need you to do something for me. Get the nurse to go back to working on your shoulder. I'll make it worth your while if you do." Adding emphasis to this, Tyler felt another invisible electric pinch surge around his nipple.
"I think we can work something out." Tyler and Wendy both winked at each other as Tyler looked back at Amanda. "Um nurse, I still feel a little tightness in my shoulder. Could I ask you to-"
"Glaceon! Glacie!" Suddenly Yuki sprang to life from off the floor and bolted towards the door, quickly standing on her hind legs and reaching for the door handle with her paws but falling just short. She tried again, jumping this time with her paws pushing against the door for an extra push. This time they did reach the handle, pulling it down but not opening the door as the handle rattled in place.
"Yuki? What's wrong princess?" Tyler quickly rolled off the table and knelt beside his Glaceon as everyone in the room shifted their attention to her. Ash soon joined the two of them as his own curiosity made him want to check on Yuki as well.
"Glae! Glaceon Glae Glae!" Yuki jumped poked the door twice as she looked sorrowfully at Tyler.
"You can't take the heat anymore can you?" Yuki quickly shook her head as she softly mewed at Tyler. The look in her eyes pleaded with Tyler to open the door to this heat trap.
"Hey Ty, if you want I can take Yuki out of the room for you." Tyler didn't hear Wendy's suggestion. He was trying to think of a way to make Yuki feel as elated as he was right now.
"Say I've got an idea. How does this sound to you?" Tyler whispered something in Yuki's ear and she quickly began nodding her head vigorously. "Alright, let's do it." Tyler placed his hand on the handle and looked back at Yuki's eyes, seeing the outline of a smile on her face. "Okay, go!" Tyler pulled the door handle and pushed the door open quickly following Yuki out into the hallway. He pointed down the hallway back towards the main lobby and the two of them ran as fast as both of them towards the front doors.
"What the hell are you doing Tyler?!" Tyler looked back at the room and saw Wendy had stepped in the hallway herself and was chasing after him herself. "I want my massage dammit!"
"Flareon Flare! F-lare!" Ash whimsically ran into the hallway thinking that everyone was playing a game and he wanted to be apart of it.
"Ash? Where are you going? Come back!" Amanda joined everyone else in the hallway as she chased after her naïve Flareon. Seeing everyone in the hallway because of his stupidity impulse brought the largest, most childish grin to Tyler's face. As he turned his view back in front of him a flutter of white cloth caught his eye and he remembered the towel was still somehow stuffed into his jeans from the massage. This also reminded him that he was now running half-naked through a hospital with a group of people and Pokémon chasing after him. He could only guess at just how stupid he looked right now, but as normally was the case with him, he was well past the point of caring how others saw him in public.
"Check it out Yuki! I'm a superhero!" Tyler ran in front of his Glaceon, arms held out in front of him with his fists clenched tightly as he imitated like he was flying as the towel flapped wildly behind him. Giddy with excitement, Tyler pressed forward, bursting into the main lobby, skidding on the floor a bit before being able to plant his feet and turn towards the door. A group of alarmed trainers waiting patiently in the hall quickly scooted out of the way of the impending stampede as the automatic doors opened and Tyler ran outside into the parking lot by the hospital.
"Oh God this cold air feels so fucking good!" Tyler yelled as he watched Yuki follow suit, quickly cracking a joyful smile on her face as well. "Let's go Yuki!" Tyler pointed at a nearby snow bank and the two of them continued racing towards their destination.
"Tyler wait, stop!" Wendy shouted as she too made her way outside in a desperate attempt to halt him before he inevitably did whatever stupid thing was on his mind. But it was entirely too late as the moment she saw him, both Tyler and Yuki had both dived head first into a ten foot large snow bank. In an instant, an arctic blast penetrated all the layers of warmth Wendy had on, chilling her core to what felt like absolute zero. She dropped to her knees shivering mightily as her Lucario ran up behind her, his body glowing purple as he placed his paw on her back and severing the Reiki link between her and Tyler.
"Are you alright master?" Pulse asked as he lightly started rubbing her back. Wendy shook her head rapidly, scowling angrily in Tyler's general direction despite being unable to see the buffoon who had used Sheer Cold on her. Ash merrily trotted his way into Wendy's field of vision and immediately was blindsided by the frozen woman scooping him up and holding the fireball close to her body to steal the warmth of his body.
"Um, ma'am, are you okay?" Amanda asked as she finally caught up with Wendy as she stood back to her feet.
"Can I borrow Ash until I warm back up again? Please?"
"Um, sure that's fine, play nice with her Ash." The Flareon nodded its head as Wendy buried her face in his fur and walked back inside the hospital. "Wait why are you cold? You barely stepped outside."
"Go ask Mr. Snow-for-brains over there. I honestly don't care…" Wendy's voice trailed off as the automatic doors behind her shut and cut off her rant. The perplexed nurse jogged cautiously over towards the sound of innocent laughter floating over from the other side of the parking lot. Poking their heads out of the snow with a cap of fluffy whiteness each were Tyler and his Glaceon, both of them laughing merrily at each other.
"Mr. Lawson, what in the world are you doing?" Nurse Amanda asked with her hands on her hips.
"Um… playing with Yuki?" Tyler chuckled as Yuki tackled him back into the snow bank and nuzzled his cheek affectionately. Amanda only shook her head in disbelief a Tyler's childish antics, but couldn't deny a smile made its way to her lips seeing the love that he and his Pokémon had for each other.
"I know you're having fun right now, but I think it is in your best interest to go back inside before you catch a cold."
"Yeah that's probably a… *Achoo!* a good idea." Tyler admitted as he started rubbing his hands across his arms to keep some level of warmth in him. "But I had to do this, Yuki needed to get out of the room so I let her out."
"And then decided to go outside with her and then dive headfirst into a snow bank."
"Exactly, I'd do anything, no matter how stupid to make her smile."
"Glaceon!" Yuki smiled happily as Tyler teased her ears playfully before she hopped off him and allowed her trainer to stand once again.
"I think you might need this." Amanda sighed as she handed Tyler the towel that had been previously been around his waist.
"Thanks." Tyler said taking the towel and throwing it over his face beginning to dry himself off. He let out another sneeze beneath the fluffy veil over his face. Both he and Amanda laughed briefly as he pulled the towel down around his shoulders and walked with the amused nurse and his cheery Glaceon back towards the hospital's main entrance.
A/N: There you go gang, that's chapter 16 done and done. Man I'm exhausted right now. I could really use a massage myself actually. I've been really stressed out of late from school work, what with midterms coming and going and that's why this chapter was a week behind schedule. I know I left at least a couple of you guys waiting so if you're one of those people I apologize and hope today's update was worth the extended wait. Now because I'm so damn tired, I'm gonna leave this as a short note here and go take a nap before I have to go to a study group session with some of my classmates. So this is DrPhill26 signing out and I hope I'll get to see you guys again real soon.
