Luna walked up the cobblestone streets of Breeze Peek in the mid-afternoon taking in the lively atmosphere as she saw many of the locals go about their day. The townsfolk seemed to carefully space out their crops from the more compact areas of town. Lun walked away from the more building-packed area of Breeze Peak and toward the more open side where many people seemed to be tending to their crops. On this side of the mountain, there weren't any large buildings aside from the occasional windmill across the plateau. Beyond the farmland, almost beyond where Luna could make out seemed to be a road that led all the way up the rest of the mountain, though the trail disappeared past the curve of the mountain wall.
She approached an open field surrounded by a wooden fence that had taken a beating from nature over time. Luna walked through the wide opening in the fence and onwards to the tall Black-haired woman standing in the middle of the field.
"Luna! Good Afternoon!" Blake waved to greet the trainer and walked over to meet Luna halfway.
"Hi, Blake! Thanks for meeting me out here. I couldn't wait to have a battle with you." Luna waved back.
"That's good to hear, it's been a couple of weeks since the last trainer came through, so I'm more than happy to battle with you! But are you sure that you didn't want some time to strategize? I'm willing to wait for as long as you need before we fight."
Luna shook her head from side to side, "No, that's alright. I'm ready!"
Blake smirked, "Alright, if you say so!"
The two headed to opposite sides of the battlefield and readied their Pokeballs.
A nearby farmer was eating his sandwich when he cleaned the crumbs from his beard and walked over to the side of the battle, raising the napkin in the air that he was eating with.
"W-What...? Who are you?" asked Luna, who was utterly confused by the middle-aged man.
"That's Phill!" Blake shouted from the opposite side of the field, "He's our Ref!"
"Oh! Sorry!"
The man cleared his throat and spoke with a deep and booming voice, "This Pokemon Battle is between Gym Leader Blake and Trainer Luna. Each of you may use all of the Pokemon you have at your disposal. Let the battle begin!" The man then swung down his napkin towards the floor, signifying the start official start of the battle.
Luna and Blake both tossed their Pokeballs into the air. Luna summoned Slither while Blake tossed out her Gloom.
After being out-maneuvered and overpowered in her last Pokemon Battle, Luna knew she had to act quickly.
"Slither! Use ember!" shouted Luna.
The Pokemon quickly summoned forth the fire within its inner core and spit it from its mouth like a machine gun at the enemy Pokemon.
"Razor leaf!" The Gloom's plant-like hair shook as it fired off tiny blades of itself to soften the incoming attack.
The two attacks collided, leaving nothing but burnt plant follicles in the air.
"Hit them head-on!" Luna told Slither.
Slither dashed forward towards Gloom who readily threw another Razor Leaf attack in his direction. But using his snake-like reflexes, Slither slid past most of the attack and was only scratched by a few of the many razor blade leaves. Slither got into close combat with the gloom who seemed a bit slow to retaliate as Slither used his tail to slam against the Pokemon, sending it rolling backward.
But a purple cloud lingered where Gloom stood before the attack and encompassed Slither, "Slither get out of there!" shouted Luna as she watched the Poison Powder attack land on her Pokemon.
Slither leaped out from the cloud but felt his body and lungs begin to burn as he was poisoned.
"That was more effective than I thought it would be! Good job, Gloom!" Blake congratulated her Pokemon.
Slither shook off the current pain and fired off another ember attack at Gloom. Gloom suddenly shook its body and used Poison Powder once more, this time to hide itself in its own attack. Slither kept firing the glowing orange Ember into the growing purple cloud, hoping to land some hits on the enemy as it hid.
"Hold on, Slither!" his trainer called out.
Luna knew that the poison would eventually knock out her Pokemon and was forced to make a rushed decision, "Slither, hold your breath if you can, and dive into the Poison Powder! Attack Gloom with everything you have!"
"Salandit!" the Pokemon shouted back as he rushed towards the cloud and used his back legs to leap inside of it from above.
A moment of silence passed as Slither swung wildly inside of the Poison Cloud. Out of nowhere, the lizard was sent flying out of the cloud, skidding across the ground before coming to a stop.
"Slither, you okay?" asked Luna.
Slither struggled to stand back up and then nodded to Luna.
"A-alright then. I'll let you rest for a moment before sending you back in!" Luna then pointed her Pokeball at the Salandit and made him return.
"Go, Casper!" she shouted before a cheerful flying Togetic appeared out of his Pokeball.
She smirked and nodded to her Pokemon, "Use Fairy Wind!"
The Togetic spread his small wings but in turn, gave a powerful gust of pink wind that blew away the poisonous powder lingering in the air and revealed the hiding Gloom.
"Arial Ace!"
Casper flew down, his wings burning white as he collided with the Pokemon.
The Gloom tumbled just as Slither did before sliding to a stop.
"Very good," said Blake, "Switching out your Pokemon to gain a field advantage is something all smart trainers should do."
The Gym Leader then returned Gloom to their Pokeball, "Just remember, your opponents are allowed to do the same!" Blake then threw a Pokeball into the air, and a Jumpluff appeared in the air in front of her.
"Jumpluff, huh? Gilly said you had a Skiploom, they evolved then?" asked Luna.
Blake shook her head up and down, "A lot can happen in a year! Jumpluff, use Stun Spore!"
The Jumpluff shooks its three cotton poms and the air around the Pokemon became filled in a yellow fog that drifted in the wind as if it were waves. The yellow powder soon filled the patch of sky above Luna and her Pokemon.
"Fly low to the ground to avoid it!" she warned Casper.
He did as his trainer asked and began flying underneath Jumpluff and prepared to attack. Taking the lead he charged up directly underneath the Pokemon using Aerial Ace.
"Seed Bomb!" shouted Blake.
"Dodge it!" Luna cried out as she saw three large seeds from Jumpluff's cotton poms fall toward Casper and collided with him head-on.
The seeds exploded as they critically collided with the Togetic, the force of the explosions sent the Pokemon crashing into the ground.
Luna covered her mouth in shock at the power of the attack.
The ref stepped forward and raised his "Flag", he watched as Casper lay unconscious in the small crater he caused by his crash landing, "Togetic is unable to battle!"
Luna slapped her cheeks and told herself, "Get it together," before returning her Pokemon to his Pokeball.
"Please, I know you can do this..." she whispered to Ledyba's Pokeball before throwing it onto the field.
The Ledyba flew for a second, taking in what was occurring before readying himself for battle.
"You got this Ledyba!" Luna cheered on her Pokemon.
Blake then returned her Jumpluff.
"Switching to Capsakid...?" Luna asked cautiously.
"Not exactly!" Replied Blake as she threw her final and third Pokemon onto the field.
In front of Ledyba, a bipedal two-headed Pokemon emerged from the bright red light of their Pokeball.
"Scovillain!" shouted the green head of the Spicy Pepper Pokemon as its red head shot out flames into the sky.
Ledyba was filled with fear as he saw the menacing Pokemon in front of him and attacked with Swift in a panic.
Small golden star-shaped energy sprung forth from Ledyba's hands and circled Scovillain before hitting them.
The stars barraged the sides of the Pokemon, both heads glared angrily back at Ledyba before its red head shot out a flamethrower attack at the Ladybug Pokemon.
"Ledy!" cried the Pokemon as it ran in circles and was chased around the field by Scovillain.
Luna was lost for words, she felt hopeless as she watched her Ledyba being attacked by a clearly stronger Pokemon with a type advantage. She watched Ledyba dodge each of the Scovillains' attacks.
"L-Ledyba fly up and use swift! Try to keep your distance!"
Ledyba nodded and began flying up into the air.
"Nuh-uh! Vine whip, grab them!" shouted Blake.
Suddenly, the earth shook beneath Scovillain and vines erupted from under him, rising high into the sky, chasing after Ledyba.
The Pokemon flew as fast as he could but couldn't turn quite fast enough as the vines grappled him.
"Scovillain!" yelled the angry Pokemon as he used his vines to slam Ledyba crashing into the ground. His redhead began to glow as he readied another Flamethrower attack.
The Ledyba couldn't escape the vines wrapped around its body as it abruptly cried out in fear.
Suddenly a voice called out.
"Stop!" Luna shouted out as she rushed onto the field, "I forfeit!"
Blake told her Pokemon to stand down as Luna ran onto the field.
Luna rushed over to her Pokemon and picked him up from the now loosening vines, she looked down at his teary-eyed face and hugged him.
Blake walked over to Luna and pat the heads of her Scovillian as she passed by, "You sure you don't want to strategize now?"
Luna sighed, "Y-Yeah... That'd probably be for the best. But for the record. I was would have been strategizing with faulty info anyhow! Both your Skiploom and Capsakid have evolved in the past year."
"Yep," Blake replied proudly, "You have to be ready for anything when it comes to Pokemon battles!"
"Yeah, but I still didn't expect the battle to be so one-sided," Luna scratched her head, "I got a couple of wins under my belt and I guess that I got too cocky? I don't know. Because now I'm on this losing streak..."
Blake placed her hand on Luna's shoulder and squeezed firmly, "Look, there were plenty of times where I also felt like I was in a rut and questioned my abilities as a Pokemon Trainer too."
"Really?" Luna looked up at Blake.
"Yeah, and I know that eventually that it will happen to me again and again. The important thing that we have to do as Pokemon Trainers is to not give up when we feel that hopelessness. Because even this little guy here," Blake pinched Ledyba's cheek who blushed in return, "can do some of the most amazing things if we nurture them. Just like the rocky beginnings of this town, you can look at it now and see how beautiful something can become with time and hard work. So don't feel bad Luna! Get back up, and kick some ass!"
Luna smiled and placed her hand on Blake's who was still holding her shoulder, "Thanks, Blake. You're a good friend."
"Hey," Blake chuckled, "Don't get all chummy with me now thinking that I'll go any easier on you next time!"
"Wouldn't dream of it!" replied Luna, "But, I do feel that I need some more experience as well... I might take a couple of days to train, would that be okay?"
"Take all the time you need!" Blake patted Luna's shoulder before leading Luna and her Scovillain back into town.
The two walked up to a corner store in the more urban side of town, the sign on the front read "Breeze Peak Clinic".
"Oh, this must be where Laudrie works?" asked Luna.
"It sure is!" replied Blake, "I wanted to see how she was doing with Gilly!"
"Me too." Luna smiled as they entered the building.
The two looked around and saw that nobody was at the front desk of the clinic and heard talking towards the back of the clinic beyond the currently empty Lobby, Blake motioned for Luna to follow her. Luna quickly chased behind her since it seemed like she knew where she was going.
As the two approached an exam room they were able to make out some familiar voices.
"I already know that to cure a Primeape's bout of rage I need dried Sunflora root!" Gilly sounded like she was arguing with someone.
"Yes, but do you even know how to procure such a root? Or even how to correctly create the salve used in the process? There are certain things a Pokemon Doctor must know how to do! Especially so when in the wild!" Laudrie argued back.
"O-Of course I know!" Gilly scoffed.
"Oh, really?" Laudrie spoke sarcastically, "Fine. Then show me."
Luna and Blake were both peeking into the room as they hung their heads behind the doorway.
"W-What?" Gilly was unsure she heard Laudrie right, "You want me to prove it? No, problem! I can do that. Easy! Where's the root!"
"Oh-ho, oh no. We don't have any dried Sunflora root here." Laudrie Chuckled.
"Huh?" Gilly sounded confused, "Then how am I supposed to prove to you that I know how to make the salve? You already made me right down all the steps ten times from memory. I know that I can do it."
"Yes, on paper, this is true. However, I tend to find that the real-world practice of making medicines seems to be even more challenging than it is just 'memorizing the steps'."
"A-alright, I can understand that to a certain degree, but still, if you don't have the root-"
"There is a group of Sunflora that live at the true peak of Breeze Peak, as they move around some of their loose roots end up staying behind in the dirt that they were standing in. I'm sure you won't have a hard time finding any up there."
Gilly was astounded at what the Doctor was suggesting, "You want me to climb the rest of the mountain to get a root!?"
"Yes," Laudrie replied plainly, "Was that unclear? I also want you to come back here with the root and procure a Salve which would soothe a raging Primeape."
Gilly sat back in her seat, feeling defeated.
Luna whispered to Blake, "L-Laudries' kind of scary when she wants to be."
Blake whispered back, "It's just cuz' she takes being a Pokemon Doctor so seriously. She wants to make sure that all of her students are properly educated for the future of their careers."
"You two can join us if you'd like," Laudrie said sternly to the two people sneaking outside of the exam room.
Luna shot up, "Y-Yes ma'am!"
Gilly was too depressed to fully acknowledge Luna's sudden appearance as she sat pouting in her chair.
"Hey, hun..." Blake walked in scratching her neck.
Luna took the seat next to Gilly, "So how's it going?"
"Horrible." whined Gilly, "W-What if I didn't have a Pokemon? I'm sure there are wild Pokemon up the mountain trail, do you send all of your students to their death!?" she cried to Laudrie.
Laudrie giggled, "All of my students have- Scratch that. All people learning to become Pokemon Doctors know or should know that our line of work isn't always a safe one. You always need to be prepared for the unexpected, this includes wild Pokemon or even worse, dangerous humans. Having any kind of protection on you at all times is incredibly important. Also, unfortunately for you, I heard that your Medicham is probably the best source of protection you could ask for. So I don't see you having much to any problem on your way up the mountain."
Gilly began to cry in her arms like a toddler, "This is the worst day ever!"
Luna awkwardly tried to comfort Gilly as she patted her back, "Th-there, there... If it helps any, I didn't end up winning my Gym Badge so my day sucked too."
"It doesn't help!" Gilly shouted back. "You're used to losing! I'm not used to climbing!"
Luna's eye twitched and decided to give her payback for the sly remark, "Fine, then you're the one hiking the rest of the trail. On. Her. Own."
Gilly quickly hugged Luna's waist tightly, "Wait! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! Please don't make me climb the dumb tall stupid mountain all by myself!"
Luna was amazed by the speed of Gilly's one-eighty personality, she felt a little grossed out after feeling Gilly's genuine tears and snot soak the front of her tank top, "Okay! Okay! I'll go with you! J-Just stop crying, please."
Gilly slowly stood up and wiped away her tears as she sucked the snot back into her nose, "O-Okay..."
Laudrie sighed at her disgraceful-looking student, "I would like to see the root by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, is that understood?"
"B-But," Gilly started, "It could take a whole day to climb the rest of the mountain and make it back!"
Laudrie shrugged, "Well then, I guess that you had better get started."
"That's not fair! I should be getting an extra day at the very least! Plus I'm totally exhausted because I couldn't sleep!"
Blake blushed and turned her face from the conversation.
"What? Well, I tried to offer our spare bed to you both! I thought it was comfortable enough." Laudrie seemed upset, "And you both left in the middle of the night without saying a word or leaving a note, I was surprised by how rude that was."
Blake grabbed Laudrie by her arm, her face burning red, "Laudrie! I thought we weren't going to bring that up!"
"Why not?" Laudrie looked at her wife confused.
Luna was at a loss for words as she vividly remembered the events that happened above her last night.
"You can't be serious, right!?" Gilly slammed her hands on the desk, "You two were blatantly fucking so much last night, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up waking the entire town!"
Laudrie took a step back, and a smile of guilt was planted on her face as she nervously laughed, "Eh! S-So you heard that?"
"Of course, we heard it! I can't get the sound of you two harpies going at it out of my head! You had guests over, why would you moan so damn loud!? Talking about rude!? Wasn't it rude of you, Doctor, to invite us to sleep over only to keep us awake all night because you wanted to smash clams!?" Gilly shouted at the top of her lungs.
It was now that Luna got a clear look at the heavy bags under Gilly's eyes, looking as if she hadn't been able to sleep at all last night, even after the two had rented a room at the Inn.
Laudrie and Blake stood absolutely speechless, the two women's faces red like beets after being scolded for their lewd behavior.
Gilly then fell back in her seat.
"S-Sorry about that..." Blake couldn't look either Gilly or Luna in the eyes as she apologized. She then tugged at her wife's arm to suggest she do the same.
"R-Right! I had no clue you two were able to hear us!" Laudrie spoke loudly before turning to her wife and whispering, "I thought you said our room was soundproof!"
"I thought it was!" Blake whispered back nervously.
Laudrie then cleared her throat and tried to compose herself as she walked forward, "A-As your mentor, I am deeply sorry for causing your lack of sleep... However, I'm still going to need to see that root... By tomorrow..."
"What!?" Gilly shot back up from her chair and glared at Laudrie but held in whatever ugly things she wanted to say and gathered her bag and hurried out of the room.
Luna chuckled at her frizzled behavior as she ran out of the room, she stood in awkward silence as the exposed couple stood there quietly.
"Hey... Luna?" Blake asked cautiously.
"Y-yeah?" replied the red-headed trainer.
"Were we honestly that loud?" Blake sounded almost too embarrassed to ask as the question escaped her lips.
Laudrie silently listened in.
Luna forced a smile, "Miss Blake, I've literally seen a Loudred have sex quieter than the two of you..."
"Luna! Hurry up, we got to get a move on!" Gilly shouted from the front of the clinic.
Luna snapped up straight, "W-Well it was nice seeing both of you today! Catch you both later!" She thanked Gilly for calling her out of the awkward situation and rushed to her friend.
Blake and Laudrie both stood in absolute silence until they heard the front door to the clinic close.
"Blake!" shouted Laudrie as she punched her in the arms, tears had welled up in her eyes due to the sheer embarrassment, "You told me it was soundproof!"
"Ow!" Blake rubbed her arm in the spot where she was hit, "S-Sorry?"
"Sorry!? My little brother slept on that pullout bed for a month last summer!" Laudrie couldn't stop envisioning the horrifying picture of her teenage brother listening in on the two having sex. She shook her head trying to get the image out of her head.
"Ohhh. Yeaahh..." Blake thought back on it, "But he never said anything to us about it! Maybe he liked it!?" she said trying to stay positive.
"Blake!" Laudrie shouted as she leaped to attack her wife.
Luna followed close behind an exhausted Gilly who dragged her feet as she walked.
"H-Hey, " said Luna as she further examined Gilly, " if you get too tired, we can set up camp early and continue the climb during the night."
"Y-Yeah, that might be for the best," replied Gilly as she tiredly pressed on.
The two exited the populated side of town and walked into the mountainous farmland of Breeze Peak they could visibly see the rest of the mountain in view as it extended upwards.
Luna sighed, "We could always ask Heidi to carry you?" she said jokingly.
"Usually, that's my kind of language. B-But, I can kind of see where Laudrie is coming from."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean, take a look around us." Said Gilly as she watched the vast farmlands and the windmills in the distance, "this whole village was built by hand and the villagers mostly survive off of only what they make up here in the mountain. It makes sense that Laudrie should feel the same about medicines and healing Pokemon. But I still think it's dumb that she's making me climb a mountain to express that message... And even though I'm pissed about it, I want to try and do this on my own without abusing Heidi's help."
"Wow," Luna smiled, "That was pretty mature of you, I'm impressed."
"Oh shut up!" Gilly smirked, "I'm the older one here! Don't get all high and mighty on me just cuz' you're taller!"
Luna chuckled, "My height? I thought it was my boobs that made me look older than you!"
"H-Hey!" shouted Gilly as she began chasing after Luna along the route.
The hard-working farmers smiled as they watched the two young women playfully give chase as they ran towards the inclined mountain trail. The two began their trek up the mountain, the dirt path curving upwards along the left side of the mountain.
The two came to an abrupt stop as they watched the path curve inwards into the mountain.
"What the?" Said Luna as she walked towards the large opening carved out of the side of the mountain.
"They didn't say anything about a cave..." Gilly sounded defeated as she walked beside Luna.
"What's wrong? Don't like caves?" Luna asked Gilly as she watched the short woman slink further.
"Who does!? They're creepy and filled with weird bugs and poisonous Pokemon!" Gilly shouted at Luna as the two stood at the cave entrance.
"I like caves! You get to take a look at the history of nature close up! Plus, it's so cool! It'll be like a miniature adventure!"
"Like hell, it will!" Growled Gilly.
"Don't be such a scaredy cat! You were just saying that you wanted to do this with your own two hands!"
"Don't use that against me, and stop treating me like a kid with all your lectures! Even if they are sensible..."
"Sorry," Luna smiled softly, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings. I just want to encourage you!"
Gilly sighed as she stepped forward into the cave, "Alright. Alright. Let's just get this over with." She lightly punched Luna's arm.
Luna smirked, punching her back playfully as she stepped quickly to catch up.
As they walked through the tunnel entrance, their eyes took a moment to adjust to the cave's dark interior, though it was not lacking all light. Throughout the surface of the cave, clusters of crystals gave off a pale green light that lit up the cave.
Luna stopped in her tracks as she noticed they had already come to a fork in the road with two different tunnels leading in opposite directions, "Oh, well this sucks."
"See?" said Gilly as she looked around for a sign for the right direction to go, "Caves suck."
Luna shrugged, "Let's go left!"
Gilly raised her eyebrow, "Why?"
"I dunno'! It'll be an adventure!"
"Right." Gilly snorted, "Fine, but if we get lost, I'm gonna have Heidi tear a hole through the mountainside."
"Sounds good to me as long as we don't get in trouble for it!" replied Luna who ran into the left tunnel.
Gilly rushed after her, not wanting to be left behind.
They walked for a few minutes until the constrictive cave tunnel opened up into a massive layered chamber, patches of darkness were throughout the large cavernous area, though there were many crystals strewn about to light their way.
Luna and Gilly looked upwards as they entered, the rock bed floors in front of them were shaped like a tiered wedding cake with an opening leading up to the second floor across the mostly wide open space.
Luna smiled with glee at this new alien environment, it all felt so magical and new to her. She squealed to her friend and pointed at the wild Zubat flying through the air and the small Paras sleeping at the sides of the cavern.
"Do you think they'll let me pet them!?" Luna gasped at the sudden thought.
Gilly smirked at her friend's innocence, "Sure! I don't think they'll mind!"
"Yes!" Luna then began tip-toeing happily to the group of sleeping Paras.
Gilly smirked evilly as she took out her phone to record the encounter.
Luna walked up quietly towards the Pokemon but stumbled as she tripped on a stalagmite and fell. She then caught herself with her hands, however, the sound of her tripping ended up waking the group of four Paras.
The Paras all stared at Luna blankly before a few of them let out a high-pitched hiss toward her.
"S-Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you!" Luna reached into her bag and took out a few poffins she'd bought, "Here you go, have them as an apology for scaring you."
Three of the Paras seemed to be distrusting of the red-haired human in front of them and began crawling away to a new spot to sleep. Luna laughed awkwardly as she watched them walk away but smiled as she saw one of the Paras slowly approach her.
Luna gently lowered her hand further towards the Pokemon who began to sniff the pastry in her hands. She quickly looked back at Gilly to make sure she was watching, Gilly had her phone out filming and gave Luna a thumbs up.
Luna looked back to the Paras as it sniffed at the pastry seemingly unafraid of Luna, it reached its claw out to her hand and then clenched down on her fingers, pinching her tightly.
"Yeow!" Luna shouted as she tried to lift her hand from the Pokemon's pincers but the Pokemon held on and flew through the air still attached to her hand.
Gilly cackled as she continued filming, "Aww, he likes you!"
Luna panicked and swung the Pokemon around erratically before jogging in place through the pain and putting her hand on the floor, pleading, "Let go! Please Let go! Pretty Please! Just let go!"
The now dizzy Paras tried to understand what was going on and finally released his grasp on her hand after realizing there was no poffin on her hand anymore.
Luna stood up, shaking her hand in pain as Gilly watched on laughing in the background. Luna closely examined her hand and saw that the Paras didn't draw any blood from her hand, though his pinch did leave her with a clear imprint of his claw.
Luna lifted her leg, afraid that the Pokemon might come back to pinch her once again. She looked down and saw the Pokemon finishing up the poffin that rolled on the ground after her moment of panic.
She knelt down, "That really hurt, dude!" She waved her index finger at the Pokemon, careful to keep her distance from the Mon.
The Paras looked back up at Luna after finishing eating the poffin and noticed her hurt hand as she pointed her finger. He then crawled forward towards Luna who instinctively leaped backward, afraid of being pinched again.
"Paras. Para Paras!" the Pokemon spoke calmly to Luna.
"Y-You're not going to pinch me again... Are you?"
The Paras shook his head sided to side and lifted his claws above his head and pulled off one of the mushrooms growing on his back.
"Huh?" Luna questioned what the Pokemon was doing.
The Paras walked forward and reached up to Luna, offering her the mushroom.
"Y-You're giving this to me?"
The Paras nodded, "Para!"
Luna flinched as she slowly reached down and grabbed the mushroom from the Paras' claws. She stood back up and examined the mushroom. She was confused but didn't want to be rude to the Pokemon and smiled down at them, "Thank you so much! I'll treasure it!"
The Paras looked happy as they smiled back up at Luna before walking off to join the rest of their family.
Luna waved goodbye to the small Pokemon before walking back to Gilly who by the sound of her phone, was already watching the video of Luna getting attacked on repeat.
"S-Seriously!?" Luna barked at Gilly.
Her friend couldn't keep in her laughter as Gilly's voice then echoed through the cave.
Luna stood next to Gilly in silence until Gilly finally calmed down.
"Got it out of your system?" Luna raised her brow.
"Yeah. I think I did!" replied Gilly.
A voice from across the cavern shouted out, "That you, Red?"
Luna's eyes sparkled in recognizing the nickname and turned her head in the direction she heard it. Two floors up was the tall tan woman who Luna bumped into. The woman had one hand in her pocket and waved stoically with the other, Luna would've guessed by the way she was posed that she was just trying to look cool, but knowing how cool this woman already was; she knew in her heart that she was just so cool, she did it on her own.
"This bitch?" Gilly grumbled at the sight of the built woman.
"Hi!" Luna shouted back, waving her arms up and down, "Every time we see eachother i'm always looking up at you! Isn't that funny?"
"Yeah, I guess so." replied the woman.
"Wait for us! We'll be right up! I'd love to hang out!"
"W-What!?" Gilly whispered frustrated.
The woman then replied, "Sure. You got food?"
"No." Gilly replied loudly.
At the same time, Luna replied even louder, "Yes, we do!"
"Cool. Then hurry up." the woman motioned for them to follow her as she walked back from the ledge and beyond sight.
"Yay!" Luna smiled as she took Gilly by the arm to head up to her.
As they walked up the incline, Gilly spoke low, "Why do you want to hang out with that bimbo!? Didn't she knock you over?"
"Oh," Luna waved her hand down to dismiss it, "that was an accident! It happened again yesterday too, but-"
"It happened again!?" said an appalled Gilly, "Maybe she took something from you when you collided? Do you still have your wallet!?"
"It's not like that! She helped me up and was super nice about it!" replied Luna.
"Yeah, but still she's a total stranger!" argued Gilly.
"So were you!" Luna shot back, "Give her a chance, Gilly. I know you two can be friends!"
Gilly pouted at Luna's valid point, "Stop fighting me with logic! It sucks..." she moped as they walked up to the second floor.
The two climbed their way to the third floor of the open cavern and finally met up with the tall woman, she stood with her back against a rock column kicking a rock to pass the time.
"Finally," she said as she walked over to Luna, "You said you have food?"
Luna smiled as she took a bag of chips from her backpack and happily handed it to the woman.
Gilly immediately felt off once again, "No offense, but the first thing you say after we walked all the way up here is, ' you have food?' Isn't that a little rude?"
"G-Gilly!" Luna yelped, "she didn't mean that!" she exclaimed not wanting to hurt the woman's feelings.
"Nah," replied the woman, "She's right. Sorry about that."
Gilly stood with her arms crossed prepared for an argument but was genuinely surprised by that reply, "Wha- Really?"
"Yeah." replied the woman, "Sorry, Red. It's just when I passed through town I forgot to get some snacks and travel food, all I have left on me are a couple cans of beans."
"Oh, you don't have to apologize!" said Luna, "I understand completely!"
"Hmm," Gilly mumbled, "I think I might have had you all wrong..."
"Oh, is that true, Shorty?"
"S-Shorty!?" Gilly's face burned red, "Look here, Bimbo! I'm average height!"
Luna had a look of sheer shock as she heard the word "Bimbo" escape Gilly's mouth.
The black and red-haired woman walked over to Gilly silently and placed her hand atop Gilly's head, "Yeah sure. Average height of my vibrator maybe!"
Luna snorted at the joke, relieved that the Woman didn't retaliate physically.
Gilly puffed up her cheeks and her face burned red, "I am not small! You're freakishly huge!"
"I'm only six foot four." The woman smirked as she scruffled Gilly's hair like a child.
Gilly shook her head and stepped back, getting it back into its regular frizzy state, "Only Six foot four? Look, Snu Snu, if you think you aren't tall then you are insane!"
Luna giggled at the two's banter, "So, I never actually got your name yesterday. What is it?"
The Woman turned her attention to Luna, "My name? It's Zara."
Luna smiled, "That's such a pretty name! It's wonderful to meet you, Zara! This is my friend, Gilly! And in case you forgot it yesterday, my name is-"
"Luna." Zara cut her off, "I remember, Red."
Luna smiled brightly and stopped herself from wrapping her arms around the towering woman in a hug.
The three all then ventured further into the cave, finding another sprawling and open area. Stalactites hung from the ceiling and obvious human-made paths were laid out across the rocky domain.
"So," Luna spoke, "What were you doing up here? Are you a Pokemon Trainer too?"
"You could say that. I'm looking for a Noibat, I want a Noivern on my team."
"Oh! So you came up here to look for one?"
"Yep, been looking since yesterday."
Gilly rolled her eyes, "If you want a bat Pokemon, why don't you grab a Zubat or something? They're flying all over the place."
"Nah," replied Zara, "When the Noibats from Breeze Peak end up evolving, they turn into Noiverns almost double the average size."
"S-Seriously?" The biologist inside of Gilly squirmed with intrigue, "Wait, how do you even know if it is true?"
"I have a friend who caught his Noibat here. Would have thought that his Noibat was just an anomaly, but I know another person who got their Noibat here as well. Both of their Noiverns are about eight feet tall."
"W-Whoa! That's incredible!" She then muttered under her breath, "I'll have to ask Laudrie about this when we get back."
Luna smiled, "That sounds so cool Zara! But is there a reason you want one so big?"
"I want an easier way to fly around. Air Taxis are getting too expensive," she replied plainly.
Gilly examined Zara as they walked, she began to feel judgmental of herself as she stared at her buff muscular features. Even through Zara's black biker jacket, she could see the definition of her arms. Gilly pinched her own arm in response, it felt like it had some muscle but it still couldn't compare to how Zara's looked. And then Gilly frowned as she put her hands against her A-cup chest and watched Zara's melons bounce as they walked along.
Zara gave a deep chuckle as she saw Gilly out of the corner of her eye, "Jealous? Can't blame you. I'm proud of these puppies!"
"I am not!" Gilly pouted back, "You can't even see your toes with those sandbags!"
Zara laughed, "I wouldn't worry too much, Chestnuts. I think there might be a couple of guys into washboards. But you might be in trouble getting any if I'm around." she winked down at Gilly.
"I... Ugh!" Gilly burned with rage but was too frustrated to think of a comeback.
"Now, now..." Luna spoke up smiling awkwardly as she tried to de-escalate the situation, "It's hard to tell the time in here, but Zara said she was hungry and I brought some food from town. Wanna have a little cave picnic and camp out?"
"No." replied Gilly, still hurt from Zara's jokes. A moment later her stomach rumbled, "...fine."
Luna then happily set up a blanket for the group to sit on as she pulled the Pokeballs off of her belt and released her Pokemon. Casper, Slither, and Ledyba all joined in and got their own sandwiches; they happily sat nearby. Heidi then released herself from her Pokeball and grabbed her share of food.
"I have extras!" Luna spoke to Zara, "If you have any Pokemon, I'd be happy to feed them as well!"
Zara as she took out two Pokeballs, one was painted purple and the other had a black stripe around the top of the Pokeball and small silver spikes seemed to be glued to the ball. From a far enough distance, the Pokeballs seemed to be decently made but under closer inspection, the paint job seemed to be done with a marker. Then the spikes were just pointy cone-shaped rocks. Nonetheless, Zara seemed proud to show off her homemade Pokeballs before summoning her Pokemon. An Ekans sprung forth from her purple Pokeball and a Houndour was summoned from the spiked Pokeball.
"This is Viper, we've been traveling together for a couple of years now." Zara showed off the Pokemon by letting him slide up her leg and up her body until he looked down at the trainers from Zara's shoulder.
Zara bent down and patted the Houndour on the head. The Pokemon wore a black collar with silver spikes pointed outwards around the surface, "This is Cerberus. He was my first Pokemon, I don't go anywhere without these two knuckleheads!" She ruffled the fur on Cerberus' head to his enjoyment.
"Can I pet them?" Luna jumped at the opportunity/
"Haha, sure." Zara grinned.
Luna walked up to them, scratching under Viper's chin and Cerberus' back.
The two Pokemon seemed weirded out at first by the stranger petting them but quickly enjoyed Luna's touch.
She then handed the two Pokemon Poffins and introduced them to the rest of the Pokemon.
Gilly, Luna, and Zara all sat and ate together while their Pokemon sat in their own group and seemed to be talking with one another.
Zara swallowed her sandwich whole and before she could ask for seconds Luna had already handed her another.
Gilly glared jealously at Zara as she spoke with Luna.
Zara noticed Gilly's stares but chose to ignore them for now, "So, what made you two come up here? Looking for a new Pokemon too?"
"Well," Luna replied, "I came to Breeze Peak because I wanted to challenge Blake to a Pokemon Battle. Gilly's up here to get some training in!"
"Blake? The Gym Leader? Good luck, Red. And what kind of training, Shortstack?"
Gilly twitched hearing that nickname, "I'm training to be a Pokemon Doctor if you must know. I have to get to the top of the mountain to receive some Sunflora Root for a salve I'm making."
"Sounds boring." Laughed Zara.
"It is not!" Gilly barked back, "It's used in a chemical concoction that can be used to calm down a raging Pokemon!"
"Raging? Like, angry raging? Or rock-hard raging?" Zara chuckled.
Luna puckered her lips to keep herself from laughing.
"Angry Rage!" a flustered Gilly shouted back.
Luna couldn't help herself and laughed alongside Zara, making Gilly increasingly frustrated.
Zara looked at the two women, "You two seem pretty close, you've been traveling together for a while?"
"Hmm?" Luna took a moment to realize what was asked, "Oh, not really! I mean we met less than a week ago!"
Gilly looked a bit sad as she heard Luna say that and thought, "Not really? Are we not close?"
"But," Luna continued, "we've become really good friends in such a short amount of time! I've never clicked as friends with someone so fast before! At least that's the way I feel about it! I hope you feel the same, Gilly!"
Gilly blushed, "Oh, y-yeah! I do! You're a great friend, Luna!"
Gilly then thought to herself, "Why do I always overthink things... Of course, she thinks we're close..."
Zara grew curious, "So, a Pokemon Trainer and a Pokemon Doctor? That's pretty neat. You don't see the two types travel together too often. How long are you two sticking together?"
"Oh..." replied Luna who looked over to Gilly, "I'm not sure...? Is there somewhere specific that you have to travel to after your training here?"
Gilly had totally forgotten about the fact that the two might have to go separate ways, "Well... I..."
"Hey, you okay?" Luna said concerned.
"Y-Yeah..." sighed Gilly, "The truth is that I won't know where I'm headed next until I finish my training with Laudrie, I'd have to ask her when we get back into town."
Luna placed her hand on Gilly's shoulder, "Hey, even if we end up getting separated for a little while, I'll make sure to hunt you down!"
Gilly began tearing up and nodded, "Yeah! I'll try to get my training done as fast as I can!"
"Ugh, it's getting way too mushy in here!" Zara joked around.
"S-Sorry!" replied Luna, "So what about you, Zara? Are you a Pokemon Trainer too?"
"Sort of?" Zara scratched the back of her head, "I work as a... Guard, I guess. My company has me travel around from place to place and help protect whatever they need."
"So you're a security guard? That's pretty cool!" replied Luna.
"Well, she's built like a linebacker, I'm not surprised she got the part," Gilly said snarkily.
"G-Gilly!" Luna scolded her friend.
"She's got jokes!" laughed Zara, "I like that! But don't dish out what you can't take, Pipsqueak."
"I can handle myself fine, thank you." scoffed Gilly.
Luna felt stuck as the tension in the air grew, "S-So if everyone has finished eating. Should we head out?"
Zara looked a bit surprised, "Like, together?"
Luna gave a soft smile, "Of course! It'll be safer that way! We can help you find that Noibat you've been looking for."
"We can?" Gilly raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, we can!" Luna said sternly to her friend, "And in return, you could help us to find some Sunflora Root!"
Zara stood up and stretched her arms upward, her shirt under her jacket lifting high enough to show off her abs, "Sure! Sound's good to me. I haven't had someone to talk to for a month or two, I could use the company."
Luna smiled and nodded, "Great! Then we'll head out!"
Besides Heidi, the rest of the Pokemon were returned to their Pokeballs as the three humans then made their way across the open cavern.
The three began getting attacked by wild Pokemon as they walked through the dark interior of the cave.
Luna pleaded to Heidi to not fight them every time they were attacked so that she and her Pokemon could get some training in. After the fourth battle with yet another wild Zubat, Zara spoke up.
"So Red, trying to get stronger?" asked the tall woman.
"Y-Yeah, I lost my last battle against Blake, so I want to make sure that my Pokemon are strong enough to take her out the next time we fight!"
"Why don't you spar with me then? It's been a while since I fought seriously. And Gills here can heal our Pokemon if they get hurt, right?"
"Gills?" replied Gilly who was clearly done with Zara's shit. "Yeah, I'll heal em'. But only for the Pokemon's sake."
"Really!? I'd love to battle with you, and yes my Ledyba needs all the training that they can get!" Luna hopped up and down.
Zara smirked, "Alright! It'll be a one-on-one!"
The group waited until they found a decent flat and open area in the cave before sending out their Pokemon.
"Ekans!" Viper hissed as he was sent out onto the battlefield.
"Ledy?" Ledyba looked confused as to why he seemed to be battling a recent friend and turned to Luna.
"It's okay!" she told the Pokemon, "We're just going to practice battling with them instead of the wild Pokemon. You've been doing great today, keep it up!" she cheered on her Pokemon.
"Oh and Ledyba!" Luna called out, the Pokemon turned back to her. "How do you like, Aphid? As for your name, I had some time to think about it and I think it fits you."
The Ledyba smiled and cried out, "Ledyba!" approving the name.
Luna smiled, "Alright then, it's official! Okay, Aphid, let's do this!"
The Ledyba turned to the battlefield happier than ever and looked his opponent in the eyes, ready to fight.
"You ready, Red?" Zara said tapping her imaginary watch on her wrist.
"Yeah!" she replied, "Aphid fly up and use Swift!"
The Ledyba flew confidently upward and released a shower of star-shaped energy flying down on the Ekans below.
"Viper, dodge what you can!" ordered Zara.
The snake Pokemon slid around the ground, and dodged a few of the stars but was hit with a majority of the attack.
"Leap and use Bite!" Zara shouted.
"Dodge it!" yelled Luna.
Aphid tried to fly even higher up but Viper was too fast and bit down on the Pokemon, with the Ledyba in its maw, it flung its body in the air to throw him down into the ground, and sent him crashing against the rocky ground below.
"Use Poison sting!" Zara shouted.
The Ekans, still in the air, opened its mouth and sprayed down poisonous needles from above.
"Get out of the way!" cried Luna.
The Ledyba got his wings fluttering as fast as he could as he sped out of the way of the attack.
Soon after the Ekans landed back on the ground.
"Tackle!" Luna told him.
The Ledyba sped up, hitting the snake's head on sending it rolling backward.
"Don't let up use another Swift attack!"
The Ledyba charged up to attack once more.
"Glare!" Zara commanded.
Suddenly the area around Aphid went dark and all he was able to focus on was the piercing eyes of the enemy in front of him and was paralyzed with fear.
However, the charged-up swift attack reached its breaking point and unleash a ray of stars that barraged the glaring Ekans and stopped the mental attack before it fully took effect.
Viper rolled across the ground, hurt from the previous attack as Aphid shook himself, trying to recover fully from the Glare.
"Dammit. Get close to him, Viper! Don't let them get too far from you!" Zara told Viper.
The snake dashed forward quickly.
On the sidelines of the battlefield, Heidi sat watching the battle with a calm expression but on the inside, she was screaming to join in on the fight. She forced herself to take a deep breath and exhale slowly to calm herself down.
"Swift!" Luna called out.
Once more the Ledyba shot off another attack of spiraling stars flying toward the enemy Ekans. Viper spread his mouth open and drew in a dark, shadow-like energy as he prepared a powerful bite attack all while he sped up, dodging some of the Swift attacks, but taking a lot of the attack directly. But he continued pushing forward with increasing speed.
Luna went to call out for her Pokemon to dodge but it was too late and Viper hit Aphid with a critical bite attack, the force from the attack sending him flying back and crashing onto the rocky floor. The Ledyba laid out on his back, unconscious after the attack.
"Ekans!" the snake Pokemon cried out, proud of his victory as he suddenly began to glow brightly.
"What the!?" Luna covered her eyes from the blinding light.
"Whoa..." Gilly smiled as she got to witness the Pokemon changing its shape.
"No fucking way!" Zara smiled widely as she stared at her glorious Pokemon evolve into an Arbok.
Once the light began to fade a large Arbok emerged and let out a happy cry, "Arbok!"
Zara ran up to the cobra Pokemon and hugged him tightly in her arms, "Heck yeah, bud! This is what we've been working so hard for! I'm proud of you!"
The Arbok teared up as he wrapped his body around his trainer in a hug.
Luna felt bittersweet as she picked up Aphid in her arms, "You did your best..."
She watched as the trainer and Pokemon had their victory hug.
"You did good, Luna." Gilly told her friend as she walked up to her and took Aphid into her arms, "I'll have him patched up in no time. But I think that should be enough battling for him for the rest of the day."
Luna nodded, "Right. And thank you, Gilly."
"You're welcome! And it's my job, I'd be a bad doctor if I didn't treat a hurt Pokemon."
Zara walked over to show off her Pokemon, she had her arm wrapped around his hood as she stood with him. "Isn't he gorgeous? Look how big he is!"
Luna smiled, "You were awesome to fight against, Viper! I bet you're even stronger now too! Scary!" She looked at the large snake, even with most of his tail coiled, he was almost at Zara's height.
"H-He is pretty big! I'm glad that you're on our side!" Luna continued.
"Arboks are pretty big Pokemon, usually growing to be around eleven feet long." Gilly said aloud, as she treated Aphid, "His skin looks healthy for an Arbok, I can see that you take good care of him. I guess that's one good quality you have..." she told Zara.
"Heh. Yeah, they're my partners in crime. They need the best treatment they can get." Zara smirked.
Zara squeezed her Pokemon's side tightly, "Are you feeling too hurt? Wanna go find that Noibat with me!?"
Viper nodded, clearly excited as she asked him to go with her.
"Alright then!" Said Zara, "I'll catch up with you two later! Me and Viper are gonna go find that Noibat!" She and her Arbok then ran off further into the cave without Luna being able to get a word in.
"W-Wait, shouldn't Viper get healed up?" Luna spoke out, but it didn't seem like Zara heard her as she ran off.
"It'll be okay." Gilly told her friend as she finished up healing Aphid, "Evolution can rejuvenate the cells of a Pokemon's body, essentially healing them back to full health when they evolve."
"Really...? Wow. Pokemon are incredible..." Luna smiled as she brushed her hands across Aphid's head, who was still passed out. She returned him to his Pokeball to let him rest.
"Now that the bimbo is gone, let's get a move on!" Gilly smiled cheerfully.
"H-Hey, that's not super nice, Gilly." replied Luna.
"Oh, come on!" Gilly rolled her eyes, "She's off doing her own thing and it's already getting late and we still haven't even reached the peak of the mountain yet! I still have a deadline for tomorrow too, you know?"
Luna sighed, "Yeah, you're probably right. Alright, let's get going then..."
She felt bad for leaving Zara behind, "She did say that she was gonna catch up with us later." she thought to herself.
Gilly and Luna continued their trek through the cave; Luna continued to fight the few more wild Pokemon that wanted to attack them to help Slither and Casper train.
A few hours passed and Luna found a tunnel inclining upwards at the end of the cavern, as they walked up the tunnel they were suddenly hit by the moonlight above them as they exited the cave.
"Finally!" Gilly shouted happily as she ran over to the nearest patch of grass and lay down in it, "Yesss. Freedom!"
Luna smiled, "We can set up camp here for tonight, right?"
"Yeah, for sure! Lemme' help!"
The two quickly set up camp and Luna said aloud, "Setting up my tent used to be the biggest pain in the ass starting out and used to take me an hour to set up by myself. It's gotten so easy now, I'm thankful for the help too by the way."
"Welcome! And same here, to be honest. I usually ended up having Heidi set up the tent for us at night."
"Heidi, you poor thing... I'm so sorry you got stuck with a useless trainer like your sister here."
Heidi hid her face and giggled as Gilly grew flustered, "I'm standing right here!"
Luna laughed at her own joke, a few moments later she spoke up, "Um... So on another note, do you really not like Zara? O-or is that just how you usually act towards strangers...?" Luna quickly realized how rude that sounded, but couldn't take it back.
Thankfully Gilly wasn't offended, "Look... I know I can be rude, but that's just because of her whole attitude. She's way too cocky! And when she knocked you over the first time, I don't even think she was sorry!"
"I mean, it was an accident and it must've been awkward for her too, Gilly. I mean I ran headfirst into her tits! And she did end up apologizing." replied Luna.
"Yeah, I guess so. But still, I don't like her attitude, and she keeps calling me short! That cocky dinosaur can go eat a dick for all I care."
Luna sighed, "She isn't that bad, Gilly... And I think she's only calling you that cuz' you won't stop staring at her and calling her tits 'sandbags'!"
Gilly immediately chuckled, "Hehe, they so are!"
Luna smiled for a moment but went back to scolding her friend, "Just please be nice to her, for my sake! I spent most of my life in my small town with no real friends of my own. Now that I'm a full-fledged Pokemon Trainer, I want to make as many friends as I can. And I think she's pretty cool..."
Gilly sighed, "Alright, alright. I'll play nice with the dinosaur with tits... But you have to admit you only think she's cool because she's smoking hot!"
Luna blushed, "You think so too!?"
Gilly rolled her eyes, "Luna, it doesn't take a genius to see that a Tall buff lady with huge tits in a biker outfit is hot. That's just common sense. What I don't like is that she knows that she's hot and flaunts it. But, yes, I will play nice so long as she doesn't antagonize me either."
Luna smiled, "Thank you, Gilly. That means a lot to me. A-And I wanted to thank you for being my friend too, traveling alone sucked and I've been really happy having someone to talk to."
Gilly blushed, "Oh h-hush, it's nothing! I'm the one who should be thanking you..."
Luna helped finish setting up camp, "Alright, if you start cooking dinner, I'm going to head back down in the cavern to try and find Zara."
Gilly nodded as she and Heidi carefully started the campfire, "You going to be okay going back in by yourself?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine! I've got my Pokemon with me if a wild Pokemon shows up."
"Kay'! Just call me if anything happens, me and Heidi will come running." replied Gilly.
"Thanks! I'll make sure to be careful! And don't burn down the tents while I'm gone!" Luna waved as she headed back down into the cave, walking down the tunnel and into the wide cavern.
She looked out around the cavern around her, "I should've gotten Zara's phone number..."
Luna sighed as she reversed her steps through the cave and shouted Zara's name as she walked. To her surprise, it seemed that many of the Pokemon were keeping their distance from her as she passed back through. Luna tripped over an outcrop of rock that stuck out of the ground and fell to her knees.
"Ow..." she sat on her legs and wiped off her hands, "That sucked."
As Luna sat on the floor she noticed a pathway that she hadn't seen before over to the side of the cavern, "Oh, that's new."
She pulled herself to her feet and made her way toward the tunnel. As she approached the tunnel she spotted an empty and broken Pokeball on the floor.
"She must've found the Noibat she was looking for!" Luna picked up the broken ball and put it in her backpack, "Still, we shouldn't litter Zara. You gotta pick up the Pokeballs that break when catching a Pokemon..." she sighed after putting away the ball and continued into the tunnel.
Luna held her hand against the side of the wall as it got darker inside the crystal-less tunnel to keep her balance, she continued walking for a few minutes and gave a sigh of relief as the lights of distant crystals began lighting up the path.
Luna began hearing Zara's familiar voice as she walked down the path and hurried up to see if she had caught the Noibat.
Luna turned the corner out of the tunnel and opened her mouth to ask Zara but quickly shut herself up and hid back behind the corner.
Her heart raced as she hid behind the wall thinking, "Are they about to do what I think they are!?"
Luna poked her head back around the corner to watch Zara remove her clothes and toss them to the side. In front of Zara, Viper sat against the wall with two large serpent cocks standing straight up as he leaned his body against the floor and wall of the cave.
"He has two dicks!?" Luna blushed hard then remembered Gilly said something about snakes having two members.
"Holy shit..." Luna whispered as she watched from behind the wall.
She couldn't help but stare at Zara's body up and down. Her beefy build was toned from head to toe. Her thicc bottom and bountiful bosom were in full view as she put her hands against the wall and stood above Viper, she stared into the Pokemon's eyes.
"I want to see how your new body compares to your old one," she told Viper who seemed very happy as his long tongue slide out and licked her cheek.
Zara reached down and grabbed one of the Pokemon's cocks underneath her and held it firmly, "Arceus... I'm gonna like this!"
Zara held her hand firmly as she squatted down onto the Pokemon's cock, Viper shivered as he felt his trainer's snatch slide down his base.
"Shit." Zara smirked, "You thick bastard." she began to bob her waist up and down her pussy pulling against his cock as she stood and slid with ease as she squatted once more.
"Open your mouth and stick out your tongue," she said with a commanding voice.
The Pokemon obediently did so, in response Zara opened her mouth and wrapped her lips around the Arbok's tongue, and began sucking on it.
The Arbok grinned as he felt Zara tighten around his cock, feeling her walls squeeze him as she sat all the way down on his body, his member delving fully inside of her pussy.
Luna continued watching as lewd wet sounds emanated from the room. The slapping sounds of Zara's powerful waist slamming down against the Arbok's cock, while his free cock fit in between her asscheeks as she squatted down onto him filled the room. Followed by the wet and sloppy sounds of Zara sucking loudly on her Pokemon's tongue.
Zara felt Viper's tail wrap around her body and felt him aid her in squatting, pulling her up as she stood and pushing her down harder as she sat. Her eyes rolled back as he pushed his face closer to hers and he shoved his tongue deep inside her mouth, their tongues dancing with each other as she fucked him.
After a few minutes of this Zara tapped her Pokemon's side and he pulled his head back from their messy kiss. Zara panted heavily as her tongue stuck out; a trail of saliva stuck between hers and Viper's tongue.
Zara wiped her mouth, "You feel so fucking big~. Before you evolved, I used to be able to fit both of your dicks inside of me... It's gonna take me some time to do that again!~ But, we'll get there eventually!"
She began sucking on the neck of her Pokemon as he nuzzled her head and licked at her cheek while he continued helping lift her on his front member.
Luna bit her lip and had to stop herself from watching as she turned back behind the corner, "Why does this keep on happening to me!? Ever since I became a trainer, I've seen so many lewd fucking things! Do I have bad luck or really good luck!?" she thought to herself.
Luna slapped her face and told herself in her mind, "Okay, what they are doing is private. I should head back up and act like I never saw anything!"
Luna took a few steps back up to the main cavern when she heard Zara cry out.
"Oh! Fuck! Just like that! Fuck yes!"
Immediately Luna resumed guiltily watching the two go at it.
Zara lay on her side as she was coiled by Viper's body, he shoved his cock inside of his trainer, curving his thrusts as he went inside of her.
Zara growled in heat as she pushed her waist against her Arbok's crotch.
She felt her body squeezed firmly in his hold as he fucked her silly.
The Pokemon increased his speed, wriggling his body back and forth against her entrance.
"Kiss me. Now!" She barked as she sweats profusely.
The Arbok lifted his face against hers while he fucked her and lunged his tongue inside of her mouth and press his face against her lips.
"MMph!~" Zara's eyes rolled back as she felt the Pokemon's tongue slide down her throat and face fuck her with his own tongue as he continued grinding his cock inside of her pussy.
Luna watched as the Arbok pulled his front member out from his trainer's loins, the large wet member of the Pokemon twitched wildly. She wondered why the Pokemon had pulled out of her then gasped as she noticed that his second cock was wider in girth compared to the one he was fucking her with and forcefully shoved his other girthier cock inside of her without remorse and began fucking her, almost seeming like he was hate-fucking his trainer.
Zara moaned into her Pokemon's tongue as it encompassed her entire mouth, she began to cum as she felt his girthy cock thrust and grind against her insides.
Zara's body began to twitch and she balled her hand into a fist as she came. In turn, Viper only tightened his wrap around her and fucked her even harder.
He opened his mouth wide with his tongue in Zara's mouth and began shoving his tongue as deep into her mouth as he could. His trainer felt tears welt up in her eyes as she continued to cum as she was face fucked.
The Arbok slide his body up and down his trainer's waist, his front cock in full view as it began to twitch violently. Viper let out a loud hiss as his body constricted and he shoved his cock all the way into Zara's pussy, his tip kissed her womb as his sperm flooded her insides with his thick seed. The Arbok pulled his tongue out from his trainer's mouth and hissed into the air loudly as he came, his cock in the open air shot out streams of his spunk that covered his and his trainer's body.
Zara coughed from choking on her Pokemon's tongue and shouted as she continued to cum a second time.
The Arbok kept his tight grip on her body until he finished cumming and slowly loosened his grip on Zara's body and dropped the still-twitching woman and the floor as he curled back and flicked his tongue at her pussy.
Luna was sure that Zara would be out for the count but slowly she got back to her feet, she took a moment to catch her breath. "Fuck... Viper. Let's do that again!~"
The Pokemon nodded happily his tail wagging like a dog as he got ready for round two.
Luna hid fully behind the wall, her heart felt like it was going to explode after watching the two go at it like that. She felt her head and felt herself sweating, "I should get out of here..." she thought to herself as she stepped away from Zara and Viper.
"Next time you should join in, Red!~" Zara's lewd voice echoed around the corner. Her spine-tingling voice froze Luna solid.
The redhead was too embarrassed to answer properly, "S-Sorry!" she shouted back to Zara before running as fast as she could back up to the main cavern.
As she waited for Zara to finish down inside the separate cavern, Luna walked over to a small pool of gathered water. She scooped the water in her hands and splashed her face to calm herself down.
"That looks refreshing, I think I'll do that too," said Zara, suddenly walking up from behind Luna.
"AAHH!" Luna jumped as she heard her come out of nowhere.
Zara laughed, "Geez, am I that scary?"
"B-But, you were just down there! W-What happened to round two!?" squealed Luna.
Zara splashed her face with the water and wiped her face with her jacket sleeve, "I said that just to fuck with you and see if you'd say anything. You were watching for a while, so I thought you were just waiting for a moment to join in. But you didn't so I guess you're just one of those pervs that like to watch from the corner, huh?"
"AAh!? W-What!? I am not! I promise I'm not!" Luna cried, "I-I am so sorry I watched! I was just surprised, and I couldn't look away. I'm so sorry, Zara!"
"Calm down, Red." she raised her brow and put her hand on Luna's shoulder, "Do I look angry?"
Luna calmed down a bit as she looked up at Zara's calm and slightly worried expression.
"Y-You're not mad...?" asked Luna.
"If I was mad that you were watching, I would've stopped the moment I saw you hiding behind the corner."
"O-oh..." Luna stood silently a mixture of emotions and thoughts sped through her head.
"But you did stay and watch until we finished, you into that sort of thing?" Zara asked as she looked into Luna's eyes.
Luna stared up back into the woman's piercing gaze, "W-Well I certainly don't not like that sort of thing..."
"Really now? That's a surprise, it's pretty fifty-fifty the response you get when you ask that kind of question. You either get an answer like 'ew' or 'gross'. Or you get one like yours. Sit with me, Red." Zara led over to a boulder on the ground and sat down, she patted the spot next to her.
Luna gulped as she walked over and sat down next to her, "S-So, you ask that question a lot...?"
"Maybe." replied Zara, "I want to ask a couple of other questions too if that's alright?"
"O-Okay..." Luna felt a bit weirded out but smiled the best she could to seem calm.
She thought to herself, "I just watched her have sex with her Pokemon. And she's not mad that I watched... But now she's interrogating me!? What the fuck is going on!?"
Zara cleared her throat, "If you were in love with a Pokemon, would you consider being in a relationship with them?"
"W-Well... I've never been in love I don't think.. Yet. B-But, I imagine that if I ever fell in love with someone and that someone was a Pokemon, I'd want to be with them no matter what. So, y-yes." Luna spoke as truthfully as she could given the short time to answer.
"Do you think that marriages between Pokemon and Humans should be legal?"
"I think that... I-If both parties are of sound mind and body and can consent to be wed, then yes."
"Hmm." mumbled a smiling Zara, "Would you fight to support those beliefs?"
"Fight...? Like what kind of fight?" Luna got a bit curious at the phrasing of her question.
"Ah... Look, I'm going to be honest with you, Red. I'm not good with beating around the bush." Zara stood up with her hand on her hip, "The company I work for is recruiting like-minded individuals that support Pokemon-Human relationships. I could get you into contact with my rep if it's something that you'd be interested in."
"Huh? W-Wait, you're recruiting me?" Luna was bewildered at the occurring events, "I mean, yes. I totally support the belief that if two consenting beings are mature enough, they should be able to marry and be with anyone they want. B-But, I'm just starting out as a Pokemon Trainer and I want to give my all to this right now... I'm sorry."
"R-Right." Zara scratched her head, "Alright then, no problem."
Luna stood up, "Okay, I have to ask though. What Company wants to specifically hire people who support Poke-Human relationships?"
Zara coughed, "I-It's a Wedding Company..."
Luna stood staring up at Zara and her eye's lit up, "IT IS!?" Luna shouted excitedly.
"Yep..." Zara felt nervous for the first time in a long time as she watched Luna scream so happily.
"Oh my god! If I fuck up this whole Pokemon Trainer thing, can you hook me up!? I would die to decorate a Gardevoirs wedding! It would be off the fucking chain!" Luna shouted happily, "So I'm guessing that's why they need people who support Poke-Human relationships, huh? So that way they can have people design their weddings too?"
"Y-Yep, totally hit the mark!" The buff woman folded her arms and nodded.
"Eee!" Luna squealed once more at the thought of being a wedding designer, "Yeah, I'm definitely gonna need you to stay in touch with me about that. That's another dream of mine, for sure!"
"You got it, Red! Good to know we have a potential recruit!"
They began walking back up towards the camp with Luna leading the way.
Zara thought to herself as she walked behind Luna, "M-Maybe she's not the exact fit we are looking for..."
Zara cleared her throat and spoke up as they walked, "Hey, Red?"
Luna stopped and turned to Zara, "Yeah? Everything okay?"
"Can you not say anything about what happened to Shortstack? I don't want to make things any more awkward than they already are. And I'm not sure how'd she react if she heard what I was doing with Viper. I'm glad that you are cool with it, but I'm not sure that she would be."
"Oh, of course!" nodded Luna, she made a motion of zipping up her mouth, "My lips are sealed!"
"Thanks, Red. I doubt that prude would appreciate what we support."
Luna chuckled as she thought to herself, "If you only knew..."
The two eventually returned to camp and had dinner together with Gilly and Heidi who were waiting on them. The rest of the night was mostly uneventful. Luna helped Zara set up her tent and the three women peacefully fell asleep in their tiny abodes.
