Chapter 6: Field of Hope-filled Battles and Sexy Dreams

It didn't take the train all too long to reach the Wild Area station; Keifer being one of the few people who departed off of it, the train heading off to its' next stop just a few minutes later.

"It's really beginning." Keifer felt a swelling sense of excitement bubbling up inside of him as he walked out of the train station, stepping off the stone walkway and down onto the dirt path. Ahead, he could see a fence that marked the 'start' of the Wild Area.

Keifer's Rockruff (now named Lupin after the two had gone through some names together during the train ride), still stood beside him, and both had the same look of awe on their faces as they reached the end of the dirt path; the entrance to Galar's massive Wild Area.

As far as the eye could see, grass, trees, hills and ponds stretched far and wide; the entrance to Motostoke just barely peeking out over a hill very far to the North.

There was plenty one could do in the Wild Area; explore the various ruins and Pokemon Habitats scattered about, go fishing and or swimming, find plenty of trainers to battle with and Wild Pokemon to train against, take on Raids, go camping…

Keifer had visited the Wild Area a few times before now, but had never gone very far; typically, fun little camping trips with Hop, Kassi and Sonia when their respective parents would allow it. They'd even went swimming in one of the lakes a lot a few summers ago when Mangolia's personal pond had seen an infestation of Shellos that, while not aggressive… took up basically the entire pond.

The cut off for registration was later that week; the day before the Opening Ceremony where every challenger would be introduced alongside the season's gym leaders.

Looking ahead, and the day still being relatively young, Keifer felt his excitement rushing up even further in him.

"Ready Lupin?"

"Rock!" It almost sounded like an excited yeah!

At that, adjusting the bag on his back, Keifer sat off into the massive wild expanse ahead.

The afternoon had gone by fast, but that's not to say that very little happened.

Given that the new League Season was about to start, Keifer wasn't the only trainer down in the Wild Area or just starting out. Not even 15 minutes into walking he'd locked eyes with another boy and he had his first battle in the Wild Area.

It had actually been an entire 3 on 3 match; Keifer battling with Lupin, Rascal and Rina, managing to pull off alternating between the three quite well while his opponent battled with a Growlithe, Cutiefly and an Indeedee, the last of the three being the trickiest to overcome.

A well-timed bite from Lupin though had sealed the match, Keifer getting a nice amount of prize money from the battle.

That wasn't the only trainer battle Keifer had that day; A little after stopping to let the team enjoy a break and lunch. He found himself in a match against a cute girl named June. She had put him on the ropes, but Buttercup had scored the win and Keifer's first 'sexual' favor.

Before leaving home, Keifer had made himself a promise; he wouldn't request sexual favors from a match unless he knew the other party would be comfortable. If someone approached him with it, he was fine with that, but he wouldn't demand it and wouldn't set that as his stakes unless the other side was comfortable with it.

June had been more than comfortable, which wasn't surprising given the terms she had set; if Keifer had lost, he'd be her bottom for half an hour.

As for the terms he had set, June had orally serviced him and Buttercup; getting a minty orgasm from the latter and a salty from the former before Keifer continued on.

The rest of the afternoon had consisted of some more trainer and wild Pokemon battles, exploring the general area and at a few points, Keifer even gathered berries from some of the many berry trees to have them fresh for cooking.

He had also bought ingredients from a wandering seller; they weren't too rare to find in the more Southern Part of the wild area; certainly helpful for trainers who were just starting their journeys or needed fresh ingredients.

Keifer didn't stop traveling until the sun had began setting; the greenhead proud of the progress himself and his team had made on just their first day out.

Finally coming to a stop, Keifer chose what he knew was a good camping spot; a nice, big patch of shade to put his tent under, with a more than flat enough spot to set up the cooking pot and picnic table, and a pond just right nearby for washing up or his partners to play in.

Speaking of his team, without much thought put into it, Keifer let them all out of their balls as he pulled his bag off his back and started to get settled into getting camp set up for the night.

Back when his mom was way younger, trainers used to have to lug around massive bags over half their size if they wanted to have a good camping setup that wasn't just 'sleeping bag under the stars'. However, thanks to advances in technology over the past decade or two, a trainer's equipment was now connected to their P.C Storage!

Keifer didn't understand the full inner-workings of it; just that a trainer could store much bigger items – like a picnic table, a cooking pot, the works – which had already seen super compact versions come out in recent years, but now he kept it all in his P.C System.

Of course, it wasn't free. When you registered as a Trainer, you got a few free slots, but anything past that started adding up, especially for the more rich who would carry a Capsule House around with them.

As for Keifer, he had bought a few extra slots, so now he could store his clothes, a nice-sized tent, bedroll, pillows, a picnic table for him and his partners, plus any potential friends during his travels, a complete cooking set with plenty of ingredients, and some various other stuff. All of that was held in the cloud and could be summoned via his Box Link.

Said-device sat in his bag with things that he would immediately need during a day; Potions, status heals, berries, bandages, a couple vials of Ditto Extract (he was lucky to be well endowed and he didn't want one of his male partners potentially harming his female partners either), the works.

Pulling his Box Link out, Keifer got ready to call the table fir-

"ROCK!" Lupin was suddenly pulling at his ankle and Rascal was flapping wildly in front of him; and Keifer's head spun so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash. What he saw did NOT make him happy.

"PUT HER DOWN!" Keifer finally realized the mistake he'd made when he let his team out…

He had let Kira out, who now had Rina suspended in the air and was holding Buttercup back as well.

Keifer hadn't realized it, but his voice was magnified; that's what got Kira's attention. The Kirlia simply dropped Rina, who Buttercup quickly caught, both taking an angered, defensive stance in front of her.

"Kira, these are your team mates – you can't just hurt them!" Keifer tried his hardest to not sound mad, his head spinning a bit. "I offered to let you meet them yesterday but-"

"I told you don't bring me out unless it's TO FIGHT!" Kira slammed his mind with her voice, the Kirlia almost shocked when she felt that there was some form of resistance that had started to form from the last time, she had spoken to him. "And I don't NEED 'team mates'."

"No one's an island, Kira. That's exactly what Aunt Katie told you." Kira seemed almost offended when he said that. "And our team is gonna keep growing. We're here to get stronger. Together."

Kira proceeded to say nothing else. Keifer half-thought she was going to blast his mind again, but instead, she went and sat at the edge of the camp, not looking at any of them.

"Don't talk to me until Dinner is ready." Her tone was cold and that angry part of Keifer that had just watched her nearly attack his partners had to resist the urge to say something back, a gentle nudge from Buttercup and Rina getting him to back down.

"Can't let Kira bring us down. I'll… get through to her… somehow!" Keifer shot down that waver in his confidence as he set his mind to continuing setting up his camp.

Grabbing his Box Link off of the ground, the first item he chose to bring out was his Picnic Table, having it materialize on the flatter patch of land just next to where he'd set his tent up in the shade.

One of the other benefits to the P.C System holding camping gear was it came back clean too; if you were willing to pay the Cleaning Service Fee, which Keifer decided he'd be more than happy to do – afterall, he wasn't about to wash his dirty dishes in a pond where Pokemon lived; that wasn't fair to them.

After having his Picnic Table pulled out, the greenhead proceeded to get his cooking setup out and, subsequently after, his tent. While he could've gotten and still could get a compact one, he preferred the old-fashioned way; what his Grandpa Luke had shown him.

With some help from his team (excluding Kira), they got the decent-sized fabric dome all set up. It wasn't anything crazy fancy, but it was big enough to fit himself and a few partners and or people.

With his tent set up, Keifer sat into making a meal for his team. He was far from a master chef, but he wasn't a bad cook, that was for sure. He had taken lessons from Flo's Head Chef, Cookie, and his mom had taught him a few things as well.

"Help you!"

What?

Keifer looked down to see Rina, the Popplio looking up at him expectantly.

Did he just hear her spea-

"Pop! Pop!" Maybe he was just tired from his first day of travelling.

"You wanna help me make dinner Rina?" The Popplio nodded earnestly. Keifer wasn't entirely sure how she could help, but who was he to deny her the chance to try.

And so, the two set into making a simple curry dish; a staple of any campout in Galar… and the mark of a trainer who at least knew how to eat more than takeout or leftovers every night, something Keifer promised himself he would avoid doing.

He had a small bit of pudge when he was younger – not overweight by any stretch, just that baby fat that wouldn't leave for a while. A mix of farm work and his daily workout routine had helped shape him. While he wasn't a body builder, he definitely had good muscle at least.

As he prepped the rice for the curry, he was surprised to see Rina making, or, at least trying to make a sauce for it. She had a good layout of berries, but she needed Keifer's help crushing them, the two working in tandem as the wonderful smells quickly wafted through the air around the camp.

Kira was still sat at the edge, but Keifer noticed her head perk up a little, and to him, just maybe, that meant progress. As he and Rina continued to finish making the team's dinner, Rascal, Buttercup and Lupin all ran around the camp, playing and sparring against one another. Seeing that everyone was able to get along made the greenhead happy.

Finally, he and Rina finished making dinner together; a big pot of Sweet & Sour Curry with dried Torchicken chunks mixed in. The meat had become tender thanks to soaking in some of the juice from the sauce, the meal going over swimmingly with Keifer's entire team; even Kira, who he thought would have something negative to say about it complimented Rina… but not him.

And as the day came to a full close, Keifer sat with his team around the fire, just enjoying some star gazing before climbing into his sleeping bag inside his tent.

He had one day under his belt now, and he couldn't wait to see what all came next.

His eyes began to slowly open that morning to a relatively familiar feeling. Despite being a young adult now, Keifer was one of the few (actually many), that still got morning wood.

He'd either ignore it, handle it himself, or in some instances, he'd wake up to Mari lending him 'a helping hand'.

And instead of Mari this morning, it was Buttercup. The Bayleef had a surprisingly soft vine wrapped around his shaft, stroking and pumping it, giving him a lustful look as she noticed the green head was waking up.

"Morning to you too… Buttercup…" Keifer let an involuntary groan out as jolts of pleasure arched through his body; he had always sworn he was more sensitive when first getting out of bed. He reached a hand out, Buttercup quickly moving so he could return the favor.

Finding the figurative honeypot, Keifer slid a finger up and down Buttercup's second lips, the Bayleef shuddering as he slicked his finger with her minty juices before slowly sliding it into her love channel.

Trainer and Pokemon both moaned and panted together as they pleasured one another; Keifer alternated between pumping one finger, then two, then three as Buttercup continued to work his shaft.

But all good things must 'cum' to an end at some point. Buttercup let out a loud moan as her love channel clamped around his fingers, an orgasm washing over the Bayleef and coating the greenhead's hand as Keifer hit his own climax as well; several hot ropes of his seed shot out and landed either on the Bayleef's face or in her mouth.

The two just sat there for several moments after their climaxes.

"Love you Buttercup." Keifer hugged her close as the two cuddled for a bit, and before he got up to get ready for the day, he could've sworn he heard her say 'Love you too'.

The early part of the day went relatively similar to Keifer's first day; after he had gotten out of his tent, he sat into his morning routine; simple stretches, a few laps around the camp, sit-ups where Buttercup stood on his feet to weigh him down and push-ups with Rina and Lupin on his back so he could push himself harder.

After his workout was finished, Keifer got his camp site cleaned up which had gone faster than setting it up the night prior – not that he was complaining. Technology just rocked sometimes.

With his campsite cleaned up, all of his partners (save for Rascal who was on his shoulder chirping excitedly), were tucked away in their balls as he sat out. A glance at his Rotom Phone told Keifer that, so long as he didn't go breaking an ankle, he'd reach Motostoke by sunset; meaning that tomorrow, he could register for the Gym Challenge, explore the city for a bit and set off towards his first Gym Badge.

The morning went by smoothly; once more, Keifer alternated around his entire team (once more, save for Kira) as he battled more wild Pokemon and trainers. Rina, Rascal, Buttercup and Lupin got more battling in and Keifer knew that they were growing stronger.

He'd also gotten the chance to get a few more sexual favors, this time treating his partners more than himself. He did watch Rascal embarrass himself a bit when he was betting a handjob from a girl they had beaten; he couldn't hold still and Keifer had to keep himself from laughing. Lupin actually got the chance to spend some 'personal' time with an Eevee while Keifer did the same with another girl they had battled.

When he was satisfied with their growth, he decided to try and take a chance to battle with Kira.

"Bit of a rain check for me – if I'm your type. Double prize money sound good?" They seemed like a genuinely nice person; their name was Kris and Keifer nodded to them.

"I'm not the kind of guy to force stakes that'll make someone uncomfortable, so that's fine by me – same to you?" Kris nodded, blowing a lock of their knee length brown hair outta their face.

Keifer wasn't super sure what to expect when he fought with Kira; maybe she wouldn't say anything, but he hadn't expected her to just disobey him!

Kira just outright ignored him, randomly firing off her attacks as Kris battled with their Noctowl like a natural.

"We can stop and call it a draw if you want!" At one point after Kira had disobeyed Keifer again, Kris called out to him. "Doesn't feel fair to me if your partner isn't listening." Keifer was about to say something, but then Kira just outright blasted Kris's Noctowl, knocking the poor thing out of the sky when they had stopped to be freakin' polite!

"Kira, are you kidding me!? The battle was paused because you weren't listening!" Keifer was trying his hardest to hold his temper in, Kris catching their Noctowl in his arms, a shocked expression on their face as they looked at Kira.

"I won the fight." Kira's tone was laced with agitation. "Now either bring out another Pokemon or we're done here."

"…" She had spoken to Kris, who gave Keifer a semi-nervous look.

"No. We're forfeiting." Kira looked at Keifer with a pissed expression, but before she could do anything, he withdrew her. "Kira… you can't be fighting like this. That was dirty and underhanded." Keifer spoke to the ball and all Kira did was slam him with some energy before going completely inactive.

"Kris… sorry about her." Keifer felt bad. "We're still working on some bumps."

"I could've called for Noctus to dodge, I… Arceus I'm not good at this!" The two shared some hearty laughter. "Wanna just consider it a draw."

"If we're doing that, then here." Keifer fished out his emergency Max Revive and gave it to Kris. "I owe ya that at least." The two were able to go their separate ways on good terms, Keifer making a mental note to try to talk to Kira the next time he had some downtime; what she did was far from okay.

After that whole fiasco, the greenhead continued to make good progress towards Motostoke, finding himself more ahead than anticipated after stopping for a quick break and lunch.

Here and there, old ruins dotted the Wild Area – relics of the time when Galar was once an ancient kingdom hundreds of years ago. And not too far off the path towards Motostoke was one of them; the Watchtower Ruins.

It was close to sunset by the time Keifer found himself standing near the massive, old and somewhat crumbled tower. The shadow that the setting sun was casting over it looked nice, and he was there just early enough that the ghost types often found around the area hadn't quite come out of the wood work yet.

One Halloween, he remembered Sonia telling them all a ghost story about how an evil Spiritomb could be seen on Full Moon nights, haunting the tower and scaring the life out of anyone who got close; she even had proof of it in the form of a photo she had caught of Raihon getting a little too close and getting the shit scared out of-

"I never took you for the researcher kind, Keif!"

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" he didn't mean to scream, nearly jumping as Sonia herself caught his attention.

"PAHAHAH!" The orange-haired girl couldn't help but laugh. "I've been here for a while now; how did you not see me?" She spoke between her laughs as Keifer got a grip on his heart rate, steadying his breathing.

"You didn't have to scare the shit outta me Sonia!" Keifer wasn't actually mad. "Good to see you too, though." He got his smile back on his face. "Not really here doing research perse – I've just always had this little list of places to check out while on my journey."

"And a ruined tower was on it?" He nodded. "Ya crack me up sometimes you knucklehead."

"So why are you out here Sonia?" Keifer popped her this question as the two started walking towards Motostoke together; given that the sun was starting to go down it was better to leave the haunted tower behind anyway.

"I was with Kassi earlier, but we went our separate ways. I beat you here probably by flying on Sir Charming." She winked to him. Back when Sonia had done her League Run with Leon and Raihon, she had caught her own team and used a funny naming scheme on them. "Gram asked me to see if there were any old markings of sorts on the tower."

"Did you find anything?" Sonia shook her head.

"Not nothin' that I haven't seen the other half a million times she's asked me to check it out." Sonia huffed slightly. Keifer knew that she had wanted to be a researcher, but Sonia wasn't exactly one for the often-mundane tasks that Professor Mangolia, her grandmother, had her complete. "But enough about me – how's my fav green head been doing so far?"

As they walked together, Keifer caught her up to speed; from fighting Cross back out of Route 1, all the way to Kira earlier that day causing his technical loss to Kris. Sonia occasionally humming or tapping her chin.

And when he finished…

"Tell me Keif, have you been with a real woman yet?" Keifer did a double take and Sonia giggled a bit. How this tied into what he had said, at all, he wasn't sure.

"Umm… yeah." He swallowed a bit as Sonia wagged her finger.

"Your mummy and aunt don't count. Have you been with a woman your age… ish? Kassi ever let you sneak in her backdoor?"

Keifer flushed red; Sonia had put on her sexy voice.

"I've told everyone… Kassi's like my sister, and…" Sonia put a finger to his lips.

"Tsk. Tsk. We know that wouldn't stop you, Keif. Tell you what, I'll let you sneak in my backdoor right now, but if you win a fight against me, you're more than welcome to use the front."

If that hadn't excited him, what Sonia leaned in and whispered next would make almost any person or Pokemon hard.

"Tell me… if you knocked me up, do you think our kids would have green hair, orange, or a mix of the both?" That was the ultimate tease and he simultaneously hated and loved her for it.

Keifer almost lost himself to that and was about to take her challenge right then and there.

Keyword being almost.

"Sonia… you'd wreck my ass!" She laughed hard. "I saw how you and Queenie completely MOPPED the floor with that one girl during the Challenger Cup; I love you, but Arceus Damn!"

"Guilty… as charged!" She spoke between laughs. "You should've seen the look on your face though… and that impressive tent you were pitching!" He went more red and she laughed even harder; the fine relationship of cool, older sister and brother in Galar. "If you don't accept the match, then you know the rules~"

"The fight is technically unreasonable!" Then she made her puppy eyes. "Damnit… you know I can't say no when you do that!" His only real shot would've been fighting with Kira… and there was 0 way in hell that was gonna happen.

"Fiiiiiiiiiine." Sonia let out a squeal of delight at his words and before Keifer knew it, she was excitedly pulling him by the arm.

"I promise once we're done, I'll make it worth your time!"

Given what Sonia put him through, a part of Keifer regretted not just taking an L.

When they had reached Motostoke, they made sure to get key cards for their rooms at the Budew Drop Inn; Challengers who were competing could stay at any of the Budew Drop Inns, free of charge courtesy of the Chairman, which Keifer sure as heck wasn't complaining about. And it didn't cost Sonia a whole lot to get herself a room.

That wasn't the bad part, no.

It's what came after.

He had pleaded with her to not go into the Gardevoir's Secret, Sonia practically dragging him inside and making MORE than sure he was burning red the whole time with embarrassment, asking LOUDLY what he thought of each thong or bikini or skimpy pair of lingerie that she picked up.

And of course, given that it was the gentlemen's thing to do, he had bought her the things she had picked out. It's not that it costed him every penny he had; only some of what he'd made since setting out; it was the fact that Sonia had embarrassed him so bad even Giratina might've blushed.

Once they had left there, the evening at least toned way back down; the two went to a local outdoor café for dinner and during the meal, Sonia shared stories Keifer hadn't heard yet of her journey.

All in all, a good night that was about to have an even better ending… mostly.

"Hold on a sec Keif, I need to show you something!" When they had gotten back to the Budew Drop Inn, Sonia suddenly pulled Keifer into her room.

"Yeah, what is it?" Keifer wasn't sure where she was going with this, and he sure as hell thought Sonia was joking with what came next.

"The flash on my phone isn't working and I could use your help fixing it."

What.

"Are you…?"

"I'm being dead serious. Kassi probably teased you with it earlier, but me and Buzz already tried and no luck. You fixed Leon's GameCube for him and my Granma's phone, so…"

They both laughed for a second at the deadpan look Keifer had before Sonia handed him the phone

"Okay, let's see here…" Keifer had picked up his tech skills a few years back when his Uncle Chuck had given him a broken 'GameBoy' from his childhood. He told him if he could fix it it'd be his.

Keifer didn't necessarily have a large interest in tech, but it had become one of his pass times after he'd been given that handheld. He'd picked up other skills relating to phones and other consoles over time, and had genuinely fixed Sonia's flash once.

"By the way… hope you don't mind…" He was confused, having been in his own world while looking over the device's settings. Looking down, he saw a few things.

One, his lack of pants.

Two, his lack of underwear.

Three, his dick now smacking Sonia's left cheek.

"I uh…" He shuddered as the older girl began to stroke him. "Holy shit…"

"Don't stop or I'll stop." Sonia teased him as he did his absolute best to return his focus to fixing Sonia's phone. Continuing to configure and scroll through the settings, Sonia picked up her pace; pumping harder and softer, gently cupping his balls.

"What's the issue looking like Keifee?" Sonia gently squeezed his balls, getting some of his attention as she started to push her charade further, kissing and licking up and down his fully erect shaft.

"W… well…" She made it even harder for him to focus as she took the tip of his dick into her mouth, sucking on it and moaning loudly as she did so. "An… update was… seemingly…"

She tried saying something with a mouthful of dick, the way Keifer shaking from the vibrations spurred her on even more.

It was either the sexual favors he'd already gotten throughout the day, how skilled Sonia was, or a mix of all three, but Arceus DAMN Keifer felt a climax building as he opened the camera app.

But instead of configuring the settings…

Right as he hit his climax, seed spattering into Sonia's mouth and on her face…

*FLASH!*

"Didn't know you were a porn photographer now, Keif!"

There went all the sexual tension.

The two just laughed at the absurdity of it all for a moment before Sonia cleaned the spooge off of her face after having tasted and swallowed most of it, putting on a final show for Keifer.

"Well… it's definitely fixed." He chuckled as he handed the phone to Sonia.

"Thanks Keif!" She kissed him, the boy almost too surprised to return it. "Oh shit! The time!" Keifer was confused. "I'm supposed to be meeting up with Kassi – love ya Keif bye!"

Before he could protest, Sonia pushed him out into the hall with his pants and underwear…

Not being back on his body.

Keifer almost screamed as he threw the clothing back on, having to not roar in agony as, in his panic he caught his cock in the zipper, stumbling down the hall and into his room.

If Day 1 of his Adventure wasn't a Rollercoaster, then today had certainly been it.

Despite the immense pain he felt from trying to slice his dick, Keifer was still happy with how the day went as a whole, and no matter what came tomorrow, he'd continue his journey to the top.

No matter what it took.
