Penny and Amara's trip to Montenevera was short, and as Amara recalled Miraidon and she and Penny made their walk into town, the number of rainbow flags in windows and on shop doors gave both of them a chance to smile. "Yo, I don't know about this place, my homosexual life partner, it seems pretty gay around here." Amara joked. Penny gave a chuckle and followed Amara into town, hand in hand.
Amara's lips turned up to form a big smile as she and Penny walked through the snow-covered streets. "Montenevera would be a great place to live if it weren't so cold." Penny muttered as the girls stopped at the Pokémon Center, then went on a walk downtown. "Ok, I'll deal with the cold." Penny murmured as they passed the third street packed with local businesses. "I think I'm in love with this place." She told Amara as they walked out of an artisanal cookie bakery.
Amara noticed that just down the road was a place that sold eastern Unova style pizza, and a few minutes later both women were eating a slice of pizza the size of their forearms. "Hard agree. This place is awesome." She said to Penny as they dropped their food's packaging into the composting bin. Penny kissed Amara's cheek and announced that she'd want to move here after the two of them graduated. That made Amara smile and say, "Tempered yes. We have three years before that." Penny smiled and squeezed Amara's hand.
By this point Amara had located the Pokémon gym and stepped inside to fill out her registration packet. Penny sat with a warm cocoa in her hand as Amara scribbled her information and submitted everything to the staff member. "And your gym test is to beat the gym leader in a 'freestyle rap battle'." Amara blinked incredulously.
"Isn't the gym leader like, a signed professional rapper?" Amara asked before the staff member snorted and disclosed that she was joking, and that the real gym test was a series of three double battles to 'warm up the crowd' before the headline performance and gym leader battle. "Ok, good. That was going to fuck my white ass up."
"Nah, I don't have rap battles with nineteen-year-old white girls. It's not fun." A woman, the gym leader, Amara surmised, walked out of the back, and extended her hand. "Ryme, gym leader and certified double platinum. You ready to battle some folks and look good doin' it?" Amara took Ryme's hand and agreed to give the crowd a show they wouldn't soon forget. "I like it. We got an opening at 8:00 tonight. Be there." She turned and headed back into the back where Amara noticed a setup for a recording booth.
"Was she laying down some fuckin' tracks?" Amara asked under her breath, then shrugged. She collected Penny and the two lovers made their way out of the gym and into a small hotel downtown. After another ten minutes, they were cuddled up in a bed in their hotel room. "Ok, babe. I'm sold. That was the easiest time I've ever had renting a hotel room." They cuddled for a little while longer, Penny kissing Amara's neck all the while. After about thirty minutes, Amara rolled over and pressed her lips to Penny's. "Baby, don't tease me." Penny chuckled and snuggled into Amara's chest, so Amara started stroking Penny's back. "Do you want to play, babe?"
Penny smiled and eagerly nodded her head. "Please. I know we're part of a polycule now, but I do still enjoy when it's just us." Amara kissed Penny's forehead, then turned Penny's head so she met her eyes. "I am so deeply in love with you, my sweet Amara." Penny said as Amara looked into her. "Please take me. I need you." Penny's eyes were wide as she looked up at her beloved, and Amara responded with a kiss to her lover's lips and a rapid unbuttoning of her shirt.
