Chapter 47 Of Wagers and Whining
"What a crushing defeat by Zinnia, she didn't lose a single pokemon to Oliver Yungsten. Congrats to Zinnia!" The words bellowed throughout the light crowded arena. Jack and May cheered, standing out as there was hardly a murmur in the crowd. The duo grabbed their glasses and Jack turned to go to Flannery's bar.
"Wait, I thought we were going to see Zinnia?" May asked.
"In a sec, I want to get another drink and close a tab," Jack said. May shrugged and followed him back to Flannery's bar. When he went to the bar pre-match there was a large line which Flannery ignored to serve him and didn't even have him pay for anything. Thankfully the bar was pretty empty this time around, so Jack strolled on up with a big smile on his face.
"Well looks who's back, my favorite customer. You have fun watching that beatdown?" Flannery asked.
"Oh yeah," Jack said, pumping his fist. "Zinnia's one of my bodyguards, I'm her biggest fan."
May put an arm around Jack and leaned on him, pressing her melons into his line of sight. "And he's promised to re-populate her tribe," May then reached down and grabbed his crotch, causing Jack to grab her hand.
Flannery's eyebrows rose. "That escalated quickly, but I shouldn't be too ," Flannery giggled then turned her attention to May. "And we haven't been introduced yet."
"I'm May."
Flannery nodded. "Flannery." Flannery then turned to Jack with a lascivious smirk. "You have quite the group of ladies you hang out with."
Jack smiled proudly, looking into May's sapphire eyes. "I'm the luckiest guy in the world.."
May rolled her eyes. "I never thought I'd be sharing a guy ever in my life..." May turned back to him, a fiery lust in her eyes. "...but just a little bit of time with you changed that rather quickly." Jack gave May a long kiss.
Flannery's cheeks reddened. "Well lemme know next time I can hop in for a round."
Jack smiled. "Got any breaks coming up?"
Flannery shook her head. "Unfortunately no. Closing this bar down tonight. You have to get here earlier if you want some-" Flannery paused abruptly as her eyes turned to another customer. "So what are you drinkin'?"
A couple minutes later, Jack and May were on their way down to the green room exit, Alolan Blues in hand, and Jack saw a group of two dozen or so people crowding the threshold of the exit. Jack found Klara's eye-catching pink hair and realized what was happening.
"There you are Mr. Cobal!" Klara's overly sweet voice called out to him as she pointed to him, causing her group of admirers to open a path for Klara to approach Jack.
Jack groaned, but put on a fake smile and waved hello. His wave was cut short as he realized the enhancement that Lillie had given her had caused Klara's already mesmerizing physique to get even more tantalizing. Her thighs remained thick and toned, but her hips seemed to pop even more, and her already noticeable bust had bloomed to be even bustier. Jack felt a boner pop in his pants almost immediately.
"I'm so glad you came to see me off before my battle," Klara proclaimed, voice oozing with her signature over-the-top sweetness just like her smile. "Like what you see?"
Jack cleared his throat, trying to give him a pause, as he felt quite bit nervous. Her physique now rivalled May, Lillie, and Marnie in how curvy and alluring it had become, and Klara was taller and had certain force in her look that gripped his eyes. "Well I uh... actually came here to congratulate Zinnia on her battle," Jack replied a little sheepishly.
Klara's enormous grin dropped for a moment as her eyes revealed her frustration for a moment. Her big smile re-appeared and she turned to her fans who had begun to gather around Klara, Jack, and May. "I think I need a little privacy with my rival's biggest fan, 'kay boys?"
The group of young men grumbled but did as ordered, dispersing from Klara and Jack.
"Thanks for that Klara, and it's good to see you. Good luck tonight. Who are you facing?"
Klara smiled proudly. "Gloria, my Galarian rival."
"She's tough one, Zinnia had a lot of trouble with her," Jack commented.
Klara scoffed. "Oh it'll be nothing for me then, I've been training non-stop since my battle with Zinnia. I guarantee a victory."
Jack chuckled. "That's bold."
Klara wiggled her eyebrows lasciviously. "How about a little wager then? I win and you have to buy a hotel room for the two of us tonight."
Jack cleared his throat in surprise as he wasn't expecting Klara to be so forward. Jack then realized why she'd sent her orbiters away and grinned sheepishly. "I might be interested, but what if you lose?"
Klara scoffed again, this time rolling her eyes as well. "It won't happen, but any ideas?"
Jack eyed the on-lookers, practically salivating at the very beautiful, buxom, star in front of him. "Well how about if you lose, you're going to the strip club with me and getting naked on stage."
Klara's smile turned furious in an instant as she gagged. "Excuse me?" Klara asked as she dropped her sweet voice. "You're crazy."
Jack shrugged. "Sounds like you're not very confident anymore."
Klara scoffed and growled at him before re-forming her sweet demeanor. "Well, I'm very strict on how I portray my image to the public."
Jack shrugged and gave her a "understandable" as he turned away.
"Wait-" Klara hissed. Jack didn't acknowledge her until she put her gloved hand on his shoulder. "Hold up a second there, money bags," she said lowly. "You know I'm gonna beat her ass, so make it a little less for me..." Klara then came in close to him, intentionally bumping her body against his groin, where loins had already begun to stir. At this close of range, Jack could see the hint of crazy in Klara's eyes that put him off. "C'mon, don't you want to see these big titties of mine?" Klara whispered as she shook her upper body lightly, causing her considerable bust to jiggle erotically.
Jack smiled and turned to May, who had a very amused look on her face, then she opened her mouth. "They're a pretty nice size," May boasted. "But they've got nothing on mine."
Klara glared at May bitterly. "Well I bet I don't have pepperoni nipples like you do."
May rolled her eyes. "I don't, 'flatty.'"
Klara's glare turned irate. "Well you know what, if you make this tit-cow get on stage at the strip club and show her pepperoni nips off when I win, you have yourself a deal. Oh, and when we're fucking, this girl has to dirty talk about how much better my cleavage is than hers."
May turned to Jack indifferently. Jack mouthed "you sure?" and May nodded. Jack turned to Klara. "Deal," he said, extending her hand.
Jack really thought the matchup was a toss up overall, as Gloria had put up one hell of a fight against Zinnia. "Should be a great match then," Jack offered.
Klara's devilish smile returned. "I hope you enjoy whatever you see of the battle, since I know you'll be admiring my curves most of the time," Klara said, running her hands down her sides seductively. Against Jack's best thoughts, his eyes followed her hands as they glided across every curve of Klara's very shapely body once more. Something about her was so incredibly intoxicating.
Klara gave him a wink and turned around, heading back to the green room, swinging her hips like a model on a runway. Jack's eyes focused on Klara's ass, the hypnotic rhythm of the sway of each side of it was something Jack expected would last in is dreams.
"Uh, Jack?" May asked uncertainly.
Jack shook himself out of the daze Klara's intoxicating looks had put him in. "What?"
"Gloria's pretty good, right?" May asked.
"I really think it's a toss up," Jack said.
Just then, Zinnia fought her way through Klara's fan club that still crowded the green room exit.
"Jack, May!" Zinnia called to them.
"Zinnia!" Jack exclaimed excitedly. Zinnia jumped to him for a hug and gave him a long bumped her lower body against his manhood, and when she broke from the kiss gave him a lascivious smirk. "That beatdown must've really been a sight if you're turned on just by seeing me."
Jack chuckled. "Partially correct."
May sighed.
"What's up?" Zinnia asked, noticing something was amiss.
"May and Klara made a little wager," Jack explained.
Zinnia's eyebrows rose excitedly. "Oh?"
May rolled her eyes. "Well, for Klara's battle tonight, if she wins, she has to go to the strip club and show her boobs on stage."
Zinnia's jaw dropped. "And if she wins?"
May smiled nervously. "I do... And I have to watch Jack bang her in a hotel room and do some dirty talk."
"That's a fun wager," Zinnia giggled. "You gotta do this for when I battle her next!"
Jack shook his head. "I doubt she'd try if she thinks she'll lose."
Zinnia fake-pouted then smiled. "I think you have a good shot tonight. I gotta tell Gloria." Zinnia then grabbed her phone and began texting the other trainer furiously.
"How specific are you getting?" May asked.
"Just the part about the strip club," Zinnia said as she finished the text. "Klara was real friendly with Gloria, them both being from Galar and all, but it turns out Klara leaked Gloria's new strats and pokemons' movepools to Gloria's opponents the first few weeks. Gloria lost a few right off the bat because of that, so any way to get back at Klara is gonna really fire her up."
Jack smiled. "Even more of a reason to root for Gloria then."
May scoffed. "I dunno, you're having sex at the end of the night either way."
Jack shrugged. "I'm not the one that made the bet."
Zinnia then cozied up next to Jack. "Y'know, I could really go for some fun right now."
"When's Klara's match?"
"Not for another hour and a half. Three more matches until hers. Wanna go somewhere?" Zinnia answered.
Jack smiled. "That's an idea. Maybe get a hotel room?"
May eyed him suspiciously. "Well, we don't know who's winning or losing tonight."
Jack shrugged. "I figure we should make Klara watch us bang in the hotel room if she loses."
Zinnia cackled. "I love it!" Zinnia then put her index finger to her chin to pantomime thinking. "And hey, maybe we can get a post match 'bang' out of my system."
May smiled. "It's settled then."
The Heart of the Sea wasn't too far away, thankfully. Jack let Hilda know he'd be spending the night in the marina district with Zinnia and May. All she asked was for one of them to send her a video of the action. Luckily one of the suites was available, so Jack bought it for the night. He turned to go to the elevator, but Zinnia stopped him.
"Lemme get something real quick," Zinnia said and proceeded to dart into the gift shop.
May smiled. "So Jack, sounds like it's gonna be quite a party tonight."
Jack nodded. "That it is."
"Any chance I could have some drinks too? I figure one of these days I'll be knocked up and won't be able to join in the fun nearly as much."
Jack smiled. "We'll be hanging around Giovanni's spots and here, I think we'll be okay. So drink away."
May smiled devilishly. "Thanks..." she whispered then leaned in for a kiss with him. "..Daddy."
Jack's manhood shot back to life, and Zinnia returned from the gift shop with a bottle of tequila and a bottle of orange juice. "Gotta pre-game!" Zinnia exclaimed.
The trio got in the elevator, and May and Zinnia both put their hands on Jack's junk shamelessly. Jack felt his manhood rise, creating a tent in his pants as her smiled giddily. For the umpteenth time today, Jack reminded himself he was probably the luckiest man on the planet. "Maybe we should pace ourselves, can't have me out of juice for later tonight," Jack said with a shit-eating grin.
May and Zinnia both eyed him evilly, with Zinnia opening her mouth first. "Sounds like a 'you' problem, Jack."
May nodded. "There won't be any juice left when we're done with you tonight."
Jack smiled as the elevator opened. The girls hadn't moved their hands from his crotch. He put an arm around each woman's shoulder possessively as the trio made their way down to their corner suite. Once inside, Zinnia immediately began un-capping the tequila, Jack went to look at the view, and May began un-dressing.
About forty minutes later, Jack, May, and Zinnia re-entered the Battle Club a little worse for wear. The little bottle of tequila disappeared, and Jack's manhood recovered after the pounding he gave May and Zinnia.
"Fuck, I need some food," Zinnia said with groan.
"Same," Jack replied, and the trio went to the floor where the food counter was. They caught a glimpse of the one of the battles as they waited, and chowed down on the greasy bar food when it was ready. The best seats were taken up in anticipation of Klara's match, and Jack noticed a couple t-shirts with Klara's signature pink hairdo, and Jack shook his head disapprovingly.
May sighed, causing her massive chest-icles to heave erotically. "I don't see anywhere to sit."
Jack eyed the seating areas, not seeing anything with three seats together in the good seats. "Maybe go up to Giovanni's little lounge? He might let us sit up there with him."
Zinnia shrugged. "Worth a try."
The trio got in the elevators and got to the top floor, noticing Giovanni's usual lounge wasm't too crowded. Jack picked out Ariana, Giovanni, and the bartender he remembered as Erika amongst them. Giovanni chuckled as he saw Jack come closer.
"Mr. Cobal, how's it going?" Giovanni asked loudly. Ariana eyed them questioningly but remained silent.
"Wondering if we could catch the match up here," Jack replied.
Giovanni shrugged. "Don't see why you'd want to see it from up here, but be my guest."
"Trying to find seats for all three of us together wasn't really possible this late in the night with a Klara match coming up," Jack responded.
"Can't be helped then," Giovanni said, then took a sip from his glass. Jack was sure it was just whiskey and ice, but he didn't ask.
May and Zinnia then turned to the bar, and Jack followed them. Erika seemingly had an extra pep in her step than the last time he'd seen her.
"How's everyone doing today?" Erika asked, a small but noticeable grin coming across her face.
"Great!" Zinnia responded quickly.
Erika giggled. "Well that's good, what can I get going for you all?"
After pouring their drinks, Jack gave Erika his card for their tab. "Erika, you seem extra excited today."
Erika nodded. "I got to go to Aether Island today, something I've always wanted to do. I even met Miss Lusamine."
Zinnia put her drink down, her eyes locking on to Erika. "She shake your hand?"
Erika nodded. "Yeah, she's so nice..."
Zinnia and Jack both made eye contact, lascivious grins coming across their faces. Jack felt his loins stir a little as he eyed Erika's flat chest, and imagined what she'd look like with a pair of boobs almost May-sized. "May not have to wait long..." Jack thought to himself as he noticed Zinnia's side profile, and admired how big her own pair of growing breasts had become. They were nearing DD territory, and Jack found her more and more tantalizing every day.
The lights lowered and music started to blast, prepping the crowd for the fifth and final match of the night. May began to holler excitedly, and Jack eyed Giovanni, who appeared a little annoyed with sudden burst of sound. Jack snuck over to Giovanni real quick and whispered. "We've go a bet with Klara going, May needs Klara to lose."
"You didn't bet money with her, right?" Giovanni said.
Jack shook his head. "No, why you ask?"
Giovanni chuckled. "She gets most of her paychecks garnished. If it weren't for her fan club she'd be completely broke."
Jack's eyes rose. "No wonder she's interested in me."
Giovanni nodded. "I bet she is."
The announcer's voice boomed over the loud speaker as spotlights hit the battlefield. The announcer said his spiel, and the crowd began to roar as Klara and Gloria took their respective sides on the battlefield. From the third floor of the atrium, he couldn't get a good look at Klara and Gloria from so up high, but a large monitor with both of their faces wasn't too far away from him.
Gloria was all business. She had her usual outfit on, although Jack smiled as he saw protruding breasts where her once flat chest was. She did her best to cover them, but her grey button-up sweater could no longer button her top half, and her magenta dress showed a decent amount of her bustiness. Jack realized if he got enough to drink he was definitely going to try to hire her for his security team. "If May and Zinnia get pregnant they probably won't be able to be as effective," he thought to himself.
"C'mon Gloria!" May hollered, waving her arms wildly. Jack and Zinnia's eyes went to May's bouncing clevage and Jack felt himself starting to get hard again.
Gloria and Klara then pulled their respective Poke Balls and tossed them in the air. Out of Klara's ball came her menacing Drapion, and out of Gloria's came her Inteleon.
"Inteleon so early?" Jack asked Zinnia.
"Klara's Drapion doesn't matchup well with a hard hitting special attacker like Inteleon," Zinnia responded back.
The referee holding both flags up, then lowered them, signaling the match had begun.
"Drapion Toxic Spikes!" Klara announced sweetly.
"Inteleon, Focus Energy!" Gloria barked.
"Klara's getting too predictable," Zinnia muttered.
Little purple barbs fired through the air onto Inteleon's side of the field. Inteleon began to glow, complexly ignoring the wave of toxic spikes.
Klara giggled happily. "And now it's just matter of waiting out your team," Klara taunted in her overly-sweet voice. "Drapion return!" Klara pulled her Poke Ball out and recalled
"Another Focus Energy, Inteleon," Gloria ordered calmly.
Jack eyed the monitors showing both of the girls' faces and saw Klara's fake smile dissolve. "It doesn't stack like that, right?" Klara asked, suddenly alarmed.
Gloria's game-face finally broke with a slight grin appearing.
"Uh, Slowbro, let's go!" Klara said, trying to regain composure.
Out came here Galarian Slowbro with the shell on its right arm instead of its tail. "Now, Shell-Side Arm!"
Slowbro slowly rose its arm, but Inteleon had finished its second Focus Energy. "Inteleon, Dark Pulse!" In just a moment, Inteleon's hand became engulfed in a dark energy and fired a beam of oozing black and purple to Slowbro, connecting with directly with Slowbro's shell hand, causing an explosion that knocked the heavy, pink pokemon back a ways.
"Slowbro, get up and use Shell-Side Arm!" Klara exclaimed in a panic. Slowbro lit up and got back on its feet incredibly fast, Jack assuming it was Slowbro's Quick Draw ability at work, and Slowbro aimed at Inteleon with its right hand, but Slowbro froze up.
"Dark Pulse," Gloria said softly, ruthlessly.
Slowbro shook its hand, and Jack realized Slowbro's shell must've been greatly damaged by Inteleon's previous attack. Before Jack could even look back at Inteleon, another beam of oozing, dark energy connected with Slowbro, this time in the head, causing another explosion.
"Is that another crit?" Zinnia asked in disbelief.
"I'm afraid so," May said.
After Slowbro's sliding body came to a halt, it laid motionlessly on the ground.
"Slowbro is unable to battle, Inteleon wins!" the referee announced.
Jack turned to the monitor showing Klara's face, and she was completely shell-shocked. Jack smirked at the thought of Slowbro's delayed reaction to things was now affecting its trainer. Klara's horrified face reverted back to her too-sweet smile and she cleared her throat delicately. "Excuse me Mr. ref, but my Slowbro is probably just having a delayed reaction to the attack. It'll get up in just a few moments and be able to continue."
Jack's jaw dropped.
"Uh, no Ms. Sofora..." the referee spoke, very perplexed. "...Slowbro's been ruled out and may need some serious medical attention about its hand-shell."
Klara shook her head. "No, it's fine! Slowbro can still battle, it has to-"
The referee cleared his throat. "Klara, recall Slowbro or I may have to disqualify you from the match."
Klara's face turned irate. "Are you fucking kidding me? I'm the main draw here, you can't disqualify me, I make this place so much fucking money and I barely get any of it-"
"Klara Sofora is disqualified!" The referee bellowed. "Gloria Shield wins!"
The crowd didn't cheer or boo, it just watched on in shock. Klara's mic was turned off, but it was very clear Klara had started throwing quite a tantrum.
Jack eyed Gloria, who just shook her head and recalled Inteleon before walking away.
"Unbelievable," Jack said in disbelief. He turned to Giovanni who just shook his head with a big grin. Jack then turned to May who watched on and laughed as Klara continued her tirade against the ref. It took a minute, but security did eventually come to get her.
Giovanni got up and walked over to Jack. "That bet must've been something important to her."
Jack smirked. "Since she lost she has to go to the strip club and show her tits."
Giovanni chuckled. "Well, doubt she holds up her end after this thing tonight."
Jack turned to May who shrugged. "At least she won't bother to show her face around you again."
Jack smiled. "I guess so," Jack said, feeling a slight pang of regret. He had wanted to fuck her at some point, no matter how much of crazy bitch she probably was.
"Let's go down and congratulate Gloria," Zinnia suggested.
"Yeah, of course," Jack said. "That Inteleon strategy was going to sweep Klara at the point."
"Mhhmmm," May nodded happily.
Jack waved a thank you to Giovanni and went to the bar, Erika coming over to him quickly. "Another round?"
"Well, maybe a round for the road. But I can close out after that."
Erika nodded. "Got it."
Another set of Alolan Blues were poured and Erika after swiping his card, Erika presented the bill to him. Jack quickly tipped half of the bill, and when lifted his head to give the pen and receipt back to Erika, she had her eyes closed and he swore he could hear her take a huge sniff. "Ooooh..." Erika said lowly, then realized Jack was looking right at her and got nervous. "Uh, yeah, thank you sir..." Erika quickly moved over to the other side of the bar.
Jack initially thought it was quite weird, but realized she'd come under the influence of Lusamine's enhancement, and his apparently very strong pheromones weren't fair to judge womens' reactions on. "Well, I suppose we should go down and see what's up," Jack said as he turned to the girls.
Zinnia had finished whispering something in May's ear and May nodded. "Yeah, I like that idea..." May said before turning beet red.
"What idea?" Jack asked.
"Hm? No idea," Zinnia said with a shit-eating grin as she took one of the Alolan Blue from Jack's hands and took a long swig. "C'mon, before we have to deal with Klara's tantrum."
Jack shook his head, curious as to what he was in for as he tuned around to grab his own Alola Blue. Erika was suddenly back, and was seemingly ogling him. She gasped and made eye contact with him and scurried away once more. Jack took a breath to brush it off and grabbed his drink, taking a swig. Something was telling him he was about to finally get to know Gloria a bit better, and the lustrous beast inside of him relished the idea.
