A/N: After a bit of a hiatus, it's time for Hoenn's own fiery, flaming hot gym leader, Flannery, to take the stage!

But she won't be on stage alone (wink wink)!

Yes, it does get a little…steamy.

Chapter 5: Flannery is a Nudist!

After the opening ceremonies, all of the gym leaders and trial captains, both nude and fully-clothed, were escorted to the hotel or resort of their choice.

"Here we are!" Iris said as she opened the door for Flannery.

With a turn of a key, she was escorted into her room at the Varma Fonto Lodge. Perched high in the mountains, the Varma Fonto had a breathtaking view of most of Nuda Island, including the ocean, the town, and the forest.

The lodge itself was styled after a traditional ryokan, with an old-fashioned wooden look and a tranquil atmosphere. Throughout the resort were ancient paintings of different Pokémon as they looked from a bygone era (such as Hisuan times).

The resort even had its own sophisticated hot springs area for the gym leaders to take baths. Even the rooms themselves were decorated with tatami floors and futon mattresses laid out on the floor. It was perfect for someone looking for an authentic ryokan experience.

Flannery ran right in and stretched her arms out, soaking in the sun as it shone through the large window. "This is perfect!" she said, happily.

She turned to Iris. "Thank you guys SO much for doing this!" she said. "You have no idea how long I've wanted a place where I can just take everything off and feel the sun and the wind all over my body! And no one would judge me or harass me."

"We should be thanking you!" replied Iris. "You were the first one to get nude and convince everyone else to join in. If you hadn't done that, we feared no one else would."

"Buncha prudes," scoffed Flannery. "I don't see what the big deal with them was. Being naked outside is awesome! It just feels so free!"

Flannery then spread her legs out more. She sighed as a breeze passed through the room and in-between her legs. "Don't you just love that feeling of the wind tickling your pussy?" she asked, bluntly.

Iris' face turned red. "Y-yes," she said after hesitating for a brief moment. She'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the sensation while she was swinging on vines throughout the forest.

"A-Anyway, I better help some of the others move in," she said to Flannery. "Enjoy your time! And don't forget to check out the hot springs!"

"Will do!" replied Flannery.

Iris then slid the door closed, leaving Flannery all alone in her room.

Flannery skipped over to her futon and plopped herself down. She couldn't help but laugh as she stretched her legs out as far as they could, exposing more of her pussy to the wind.

"Sweet freedom!" she cheered as she playfully massaged her large breasts.

To say Flannery was a proud nudist was an understatement. She loved being naked. As she mentioned, she loved the feeling of the sun shining down on her bare skin, her boobs being able to hang freely, and the wind blowing across her body, especially her buttocks and womanhood.

As far as Flannery was concerned, there was nothing wrong with being naked. She thought that nudism was freeing and liberating, especially for girls. There was no greater feeling for her than opening and closing her legs whenever she wanted.

"Can I just live here forever?" she asked herself.

Eventually, Flannery got the urge to check out the hot springs. She grabbed her towel and basket of shampoos, then she left her room to make her way downstairs. She was elated to walk around without having to cover herself.

Along the way, she saw Roxanne, her fellow Hoenn gym leader from Rustboro City. Unlike most of the other gym leaders, she was still full-dressed. She held onto her book tightly against her chest and her face was bright red.

"Hey, Roxanne!" Flannery called out. "What are you doing still wearing clothes? Join the party!"

Roxanne caught a glimpse of her, then turned her nose up. She then stormed out of the resort to who-knows-where.

Flannery was confused, and somewhat offended. "What's her deal?" she asked, indignantly.

She shrugged her shoulders and continued on her way to the hot springs.

At the entrance, she saw another gym leader, one with long black hair tied into two ponytails and smooth, snowy white skin. Flannery recognized her right away.

"Candice, is that you?" called out Flannery.

Candice turned around and saw Flannery approaching her. "Oh, hey Flannery! You're staying at the hot springs resort too?"

"You know it! It's like being back home, except I can be naked anywhere!"

Candice laughed. "You certainly were an eager one," she said. "You were the first one out of everybody to take your clothes off."

"And then everyone else did too," finished Flannery.

"I didn't take you to be a trendsetter," joked Candice.

Flannery then looked down at Candice's nude body. While Candice wasn't as curvaceous as Flannery, she still had a nice, slender body. Flannery bit her lip as she stared at her perky breasts and tight buttocks.

"Well, you weren't shy either," she said.

Candice rubbed the back of neck. "Well, when you grow up in a really cold environment like I did," she explained, "you don't get the chance to try this whole nudism thing out. Better enjoy it while I can, right?"

Flannery just grinned and gave her a thumbs-up. "That's the spirit!" she cheered. "If only the others had that same idea."

"Well hey, you wanna go in the baths together?" asked Candice.

"Let's do it!" agreed Flannery.

The dynamic fire-and-ice duo strolled right into the outdoor hot springs area side-by-side. As soon as they saw the panoramic view of the imposing mountains and the large castle, their jaws dropped.

Smooth, polished cobblestones lined the pathways around the various different hot springs. There were red lanterns all around and other different ancient artifacts to create a peaceful atmosphere.

Tall, green bamboo trees swayed gently in the wind and large rocks lined the edge of the baths, providing a backdrop along with the sound of an unseen stream.

"Whoa! This is incredible!" Candice said, taking in the view.

"Ah man, this is even better than the one back home," added Flannery.

Before they went into the bath, the two first walked over the showers. As was bathing tradition, they first went to wash and cleanse their bodies. The steam from the hot water rummated in the air as the two rinsed and washed their nude bodies.

"Want me to wash your back?" offered Candice.

"Go right ahead!" Flannery said, turning around to offer her back. She pulled aside her long red hair, bringing it to the front.

Candice was captivated by the sight of Flannery's backside, particularly her plump buttocks.

"Man, your butt is incredible!" she praised, as she rubbed her towel over Flannery's upper back.

"Tell me something I don't know," laughed Flannery.

When it came to who the others considered the most beautiful gym leaders, Flannery tended to be at the top. And she knew it. Everybody knew about Flannery's legendary rump, particularly in those low-cut jeans she always wore. But without clothes on and sitting on a stool served to make it even wider than it already was.

Flannery jumped as Candice began dragging her soap-covered towel over her cheeks. "Hey now! That's not my back!" giggled Flannery.

"Just wanna make sure I don't miss a spot," joked Candice.

Then, Candice had a sneaky idea. "Actually, since I'm already here," she said, somewhat slyly, "maybe I should give these a wash too."

Flannery jumped as Candice cupped her breasts. "H-Hey, stop that!" laughed Flannery. "I can wash those myself!"

But Candice didn't listen. "With how big they are, I'm sure you missed a spot somewhere," she teased.

Along with a wide rump, Flannery also had some of the biggest breasts along the island. Nowhere near as big as Melony or Lenora, but she was a busty D-cup, big enough to barely fit in Candice's hands.

She continued groping her chest as Flannery tried to squirm out of her grip, nearly falling off her stool in the process. Only by spraying Candice with cold water from the showerhead did Flannery manage to escape.

Eventually, the two finished messing around and rinsed the suds from their bodies. They then walked over to the hot springs and slowly immersed themselves into the boiling hot water. Flannery took several deep breaths as the water went up to her chest. "Wow, this is definitely much hotter than the hot springs back in Lavaridge," she panted.

"Really? I think it's just fine," Candice said, having no issues with the blistering heat.

Candice leaned back against the rocks, sighing heavenly as the steam from the spring tickled her nostrils.

"Boy, it's like they're trying to cook us," Flannery said, her face beginning to match the same shade of red as her hair.

"Aren't you supposed to be the fiery one?" teased Candice. "Come on, just relax and enjoy the view of the mountains."

Candice then pointed up to the sky. "Look! There's an Altaria in the air!" she shouted.

Trying to take her mind off being boiled alive, Flannery looked up and saw the fluffy, cotton-like Pokémon soaring through the air high above their heads. "Whoa! That is an Altaria!" Flannery said, excitedly. "I didn't know they were native here!"

She squinted her eyes to try and see it better through the steam. "Huh…it looks a lot like Winona's Altaria," she murmured.

Upon mentioning her fellow Hoenn gym leader, suddenly a lavender-haired figure popped out from behind the clouds to join the Altaria. They had their arms stretched out and flew alongside the Pokémon with what looked like wings underneath their arms.

Flannery recognized the hair right away.

"Wait a minute, that is Winona!" she said, somewhat shocked. "What the heck is she doing?!"

"It looks like she's…flying?!" replied Candice, who was just as shocked as Flannery.

She watched as Winona flew through the sky with wings under her arms alongside her Altaria. They both could see that Winona was completely naked aside from the wings hanging from her arms down to her ankles.

"Of course she would do something so outrageous," sighed Flannery. "Her and her obsession with flying like a Pokémon…"

"It looks like she's having a blast though," mentioned Candice.

Winona and her Altaria swirl around in the sky, diving down to the ground before suddenly pulling back up and disappearing into the clouds. "Hold on, did she really climb all the way to the top of the mountain just to jump off it?!" Candice asked, horrified.

"It wouldn't surprise me," Flannery said. "She always likes to climb up to high places and stand on her tippy-toes to find the wind like a Pokémon would. A tall mountain sounds like a dream come true for her. I don't know how she got the wings though."

With Winona and her Pokémon out of sight, Flannery and Candice were able to gaze upon the magnificent mountains of Nuda Island once more. The howling wind added to the serenity of the hot springs.

"This kinda reminds me of Mount Chimney back home, only without the smoke and lava," said Flannery.

"For me, it's Mount Coronet," replied Candice, "only without the snow or the ruins on top. That's the only thing keeping this view from being perfect."

Candice closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Yep, nothing like seeing the snowy mountains while taking a nice, hot bath."

As Candice allowed herself to be captivated in the peacefulness of the mountains, Flannery just looked at her with a look of desire in her eyes. Even with Candice's body submerged in water, she could still make out her naked body.

In particular, Flannery took a good, long look at her breasts, the top half barely peeking out from under the water. Candice wasn't quite as big as Flannery was, but she still had a nice set of perky C-cups, much like most of the other gym leaders on Nuda Island.

Flannery bit her lip again as the temptation began to stir in her heart.

"She did it to me," she thought, as she scooted close to Candice.

She got closer to Candice until both of their hips were touching. Candice opened one eye at Flannery. "What are you doing?" she asked, playfully.

"Just wanted to see something," Flannery replied.

Flannery then reached over and cupped Candice's right breast. Surprisingly, Candice only smiled as Flannery bounced her boobs in her hands. "I know, they're nowhere as big as yours," she murmured.

"Oh shut up," replied Flannery, kindly, "they're big enough for me. There's definitely more than enough jiggle to them."

Flannery then leaned over and gently kissed Candice on the lips."Oh!" gasped Candice. "We're going that far now?"

"Maybe..even farther," teased Flannery.

As Flannery locked lips with Candice, she moved her hand down to her inner thigh. Candice's body quivered as Flannery gently rubbed her leg with her palm.

Candice didn't mind.

In fact, she was enjoying it!

"You're not gonna…stop me?" whispered Flannery.

"Why?" Candice whispered back. "It's just us two."

"Someone might walk in and see us."

"I doubt it. Besides, it's a big island. We could do whatever and we won't get caught."

Flannery backed away from Candice, surprised by her willingness to go even farther. "Aren't you a risky one," Flannery said. "Here I thought you were the innocent type."

Flannery then patted the space behind Candice. "In that case, get your butt up here!" she said, playfully.

"What are you gonna do?" Candice asked, dipping herself deeper into the water.

"You'll see."

Candice did as she was told. She lifted herself up from the water and sat down on the edge. Flannery then swam in front of her. "Oh, I see what you're trying to do," said Candice.

"Well? You're gonna let me see it?" Flannery asked.

Candice smiled…and spread her legs wide open, giving Flannery a view of her entrance. Flannery's mouth dropped as she leaned in and got herself a closer look. Unlike Flannery, Candice was completely smooth, lacking any sort of pubic hair. She ran her thumb across the top, noting that there weren't any bumps or stray hairs.

"You shave?" she asked.

"Just recently," Candice said as she stroked her fingers through Flannery's hair. "I never thought it looked good for me. But yours is cute."

Flannery covered her mouth with her hand. She didn't think that, of all things, would be praised, but she was happy to hear it from Candice.

Flannery then stuck her tongue out and began to slowly lick Candice out. Candice let out a soft moan as she felt Flannery's tongue lightly tickle her clit, which stuck out from her pussy.

Despite being gym leaders of opposing Pokémon types, Candice and Flannery shared a lot in common. They were both about the same age, they live in hot springs towns, they have a passion for their favorite Pokémon types…

And their love for nudity went beyond the confines of nudism.

In fact, you could call them both…exhibitionists.

Flannery eating out Candice reminded her of an experience she had back home in Snowpoint City. As a gym leader, she was granted her own private outdoor bath in her city's hot spring resort. She loved having her own private area to relax after a hard day at the gym.

But there were other reasons why she liked having privacy.

From time to time, her urges would get the best of her. Most people scoff at the idea of being nude when it was blistering cold outside, as Snowpoint City often was.

But not Candice.

She didn't know why, but there was something about being naked in the cold that turned her on. It gave her a unique, sexual feeling, especially in her loins.

Not only did she enjoy the hot springs to freely walk around naked whenever she liked, but it also allowed her to masturbate out in the open without fear of anyone walking in on her.

Even the frigid cold couldn't stop her from reaching orgasm. Sometimes she did it with her fingers in the hot water, other times with the shower head at full blast.

Little did Candice know, Flannery had the same experience herself. She also pleasured herself in her town's hot springs. However, Flannery took greater risk as her hot springs resort was too small to grant her her own private bath. So she had to make sure she really was all alone. And even then, she had to do it quickly and quietly.

However, the fear of getting caught aroused Flannery even more.

Nevertheless, it was here on Nuda Island that both girls could share their own desires together. They didn't question it. They were learning quickly that it was much better with another person.

Flannery learned it when Candice groped her breasts.

Candice let out another moan as Flannery dug her tongue deep into her.

"You like that?" Flannery asked, seductively.

Candice was too turned on to respond. Instead, she grabbed Flannery's hair and pushed her in deeper.

Candice's breathing became more labored and her moans got louder as Flannery continued licking it all over.

The passion became so overwhelming that Candice leaned all the way onto her back and cupped her breasts.

But just before she reached her climax, Candice opened her eyes…and saw something tumbling through the sky heading straight for her and Flannery!

"Oh crap! Look out!" screamed Candice, as she quickly broke away from Flannery and ran away.

"Huh? What's going on?!" Flannery asked.

Flannery turned around…just in time to see something fall from the sky and slam right into the water, creating a ginormous splash just a few inches away from her! A geyser of water shot straight up into the air and rained down on Candice and Flannery!

"What the heck was that?!" asked Candice, still on a high from her near climax.

Once the shock had worn off, they finally got a good look at what landed in the water. To their great astonishment, it was Winona, unconscious and her wing appendages now damaged to the point that they could no longer able to fly.

"Winona?!" gasped Flannery.

She and Candice quickly raced to her side and lifted her head out of the water. "Winona, are you okay?!" Flannery asked, worriedly.

Thankfully, with a few gentle shakes, Winona came to her senses. She looked up and recognized the redhead holding her. "Flannery? Is that you?" she asked.

All of a sudden, Winona snapped from being dazed to being elated. "Flannery! I've done it!" she shouted with stars in her eyes. "The lifelong dream of Pokémon trainers everywhere! I've achieved flight! I ascend to the heavens and flew through the skies, as naked as Pokémon themselves, feeling everything they feel!"

Both Flannery and Candice exchanged worried looks as they were deeply concerned for how cheery Winona was, considering her flight through the sky could have nearly broken her neck.

"Winona!"

Just then, Skyla, the Mistralton City Gym Leader, swooped in from out of the sky and landed right beside Candice and Flannery. Although she nearly skidded on the wet cobblestones. Swanna and Altaria were quick to join. Flannery and Candice noticed that Skyla had the same "wings" that Winona was wearing.

Skyla jumped in and checked on Winona. "Are you hurt?" she asked, concerned.

Winona, with adrenaline pumping through her veins, replied proudly, "How could I be?! I flew! Flew like a Pokémon! With the wingspan of a Lugia, the grace of a Latias, the speed of a Flygon…!"

"And then you hit a Toucannon, and you landed like a Psyduck," finished Skyla, wryly.

Reality soon started settling in for Winona. The adrenaline began wearing down, allowing her to realize where she was. "Oh? It appears the fates have rewarded my magnificent flight," she said.

She took her wings off, throwing them to the side, then she sat down in the hot water. "I suppose I could use a hot bath after such an exhilarating experience."

The other three could only stare at her bewildered while she relaxed in the water. Skyla shook her head with amusement. "You really are crazy," she chuckled.

Skyla then snapped her own wings off, then she undid her hair and joined Winona in an impromptu hot bath. "I guess since we're already here," she said.

Their Pokémon sat right beside them, closing their eyes and enjoying the steam bath.

As the two soaked in the water, Candice and Flannery could only exchange perplexed looks at each other. They couldn't believe how fast everything happened.

"Are you two okay?" asked Skyla. "Your faces are both very red. Maybe you've been in the hot water for too long."

Skyla had no idea how right she was.

MEANWHILE

Across the valley, Viola had snapped a few more photographs from the tallest tower of Nuda Castle. A massive telescopic lens was affixed to her camera. Its weight was heavier than the camera itself and its length was longer than Viola's own arm! But its massive size allowed Viola to take photos with intricate detail and clarity from long distances, whether it was Pokémon in the forest below, gym leaders swimming in the ocean,...

…or Flannery burying her head deep in Candice's thighs while she leaned back with a look of euphoria on her face.

Unfazed by the unexpected scene that played out in front of her, Viola casually scrolled through the other photos on her camera, like Misty and Lorelei at the beach and Jasmine meeting with Olivia and Mallow at the campgrounds.

"This new lens I got is great!" she said with an innocent smile on her face. "This is gonna make quite the scrapbook once the week is done!"

TO BE CONTINUED

A/N: Hope that was worth the wait! I gave you not only a hot Hoenn gym leader, but a Sinnoh one as well. I believe Candice is just as popular as Flannery, and I could totally see them hook up!

The next chapter will also feature a Sinnoh gym leader. And a Unova gym leader. And a Galar gym leader!

I think you guys might like how that story plays out.
