AN: As a Christmas present I've decided to do a double chapters post today. So if you're seeing and haven't yet, go back to read the last chapter before this one.
Anabel really should have found some clothes for Robin by this point. And yet it had been a week since she had welcomed the girl in her home and there was still no clothes in her drawers. The poor girl had been left wearing Anabel's clothes, which were far too large for her.
So today Anabel decided they needed to go out and get Robin a proper wardrobe. The girl had spent too much time shut in her room anyway. The girl was surprisingly lazy, she would need to kick that habit if she wanted to become a Trainer. And she would also need to try to lose that belly. Anabel would never insult someone because of their weight. But going on a journey with an out of shape body was a recipe for disaster.
Sure the Trainer's life would quickly drain all that fat in no time, there's a reason why overweight trainers are almost nonexistent. But that's assuming she would be able to tough-out the painful experience of starting a journey with such an out of shape body. And the chances that she would give up her journey before it could properly start was just too high. It would be better if she could shape up before she has to actually start walking all day everyday around Hoenn.
So with that in mind, Anabel and Robin soon found themselves in the main street of the town.
As Anabel had implied Robin could see some women who were topless and let their boobs shamelessly bounce up and down as they walked. While other only wore a shirt and had their pussies hanging out for everyone to see. And others wore nothing at all, leaving nothing to the imagination of any onlookers. Most women still wore full clothings so it wasn't completely widespread. But it seemed like female nudism was pretty common and accepted. Just as Anabel had said.
For men however it seemed much less common. Out of the massive crowd she only saw one man sitting on a bench in the nude, hanging out with his equally naked girlfriend.
They reached the clothing store, it was called Furfrou's Choice and there was an image of a fancy looking dog Pokémon Robin wasn't familiar with next to the sign.
Robin saw a naked woman go toward the store and went inside. She cocked her head in confusion. ''I tought you said naked people weren't allowed in businesses?'' Robin questioned as they walked toward the store.
Anabel nodded. ''But clothing stores are one of the few exceptions. Since you're there to try out new clothes you're kind of expected to remove your clothes anyway. And women who aren't shy about showing their bodies are convenient for them because it means they won't clog out other clients by taking a changing room.''
The door opened with the sound of a bell acompanying it. As soon as they entered Robin was met with rows and rows full of all sort of clothes. There was so much variety to choose from that it was kind of dyzzying.
''So what type of clothes do you want Robin?'' Anabel asked her as she took her hand and walked throught the aisles.
''Um, I always wanted to wear dresses and skirts.'' Robin replied bashfully.
Anabel smirked at her. ''So you like feeling the breeze against your special garden huh?''
Robin face scrunched a bit in confusion. ''I guess a bit? But the panties will block most of it, right?''
Anabel paused in her steps for a second. ''Oh right, cultural difference.'' She resumed her steps and turned to look Robin in the corner of her eyes. ''You see here dresses and especially skirts were made to be worn without underwear. It's not like you're not allowed to wear panties underneath if you want. But It's seen as kind of lame and defeat the purpose of wearing a skirt. Kind of like people who wear sandals with socks on.''
Robin flushed a bit at that. ''Oh I see. But I kind of just wanted to wear skirts and dresses. It's all I ever wanted to wear since I discovered I wanted to be a girl. Does that mean I'll never wear panties? W-what if a gust of wind blow against my skirt and my girl bits get exposed?'' She asked with an embarassed blush on her face.
''As I said you can still wear panties if you want. However accidently flashing people because of a gust of wind is kind of what everyone love about skirts. It's kind of seen as a sign of good luck if a boy can catch a glimpse of a girl's cunnie he find cute. No one will make fun of you for seeing your little Skitty. In fact I hate to say it, but you'll probably be much more ridiculed by kids your age if they catch a glimpse of you wearing panties under your skirt instead of nothing at all.''
''O-oh, I guess I'll try to wear nothing under my skirt then.'' She replied while fidgeting with her hands nervously.
They reached the aisle for skirts first. Robin saw a skirt that was completely pink and immediatly wanted to try it on. Amused Anabel gave it to her and feeling somewhat bold by the conversation they just had. Robin decided to remove her pants and panties so she could try on the skirt right there instead of having to go to the changing room.
Unfortunately when she put it on the skirt was a bit too short for her tastes a simple breeze would be all it take to reveal her pussy to everyone. She was about to remove the skirt and put it back where she found it. But against her better judgement she decided to buy it anyway. She really liked the skirt and if her cunnie was exposed more than usual because of it then that was something she was going to live with.
The other skirt she bought was a pretty scarlet red one that was much more reasonably sized and went down to her knee. She bought another one that was black, it wasn't usually her color but she had to admit she looked nice in it and put it in the pile to be bought. She took a few other similar looking ones to round up her collection and then they moved on toward the shirts section.
There was all sorts of shirts from tank tops, to ones with long sleeves of all colors. But the shirt that really attracted her were all the ones with Pokémon drawings on them. She bought a Pikachu shirt, a Eevee shirt, A Marill tank top, a long sleeved shirt with Skitty on it and with rainbow colored sleeves and a shirt with all the Eeveelutions.
Anabel was a bit amused at her choices of shirt but also found the fact that the girl still had such childish preferences to be incredibly cute.
The two of them went on to the dress section and Robin started to strip off so that she could try on some of the dresses that caught her eyes. However once she was completely nude she heard a gasp from her left.
When she turned around she saw a boy about her age gaping at her. His face had turned completely red like a tomato and he seemed like he was frozen on the spot. The boy had what seemed like silver hair, but Robin soon realised that his 'hair' was actually a hat. He was finally snapped out of it when a a young adult man with a belt of six Pokeballs around his midsection lightly bonked him on the head.
''Come on Ruby, it's rude to stare! It's just a naked girl.'' The man scolded him before taking the boy by the arm and guiding him away.
''Just a naked girl, there's a sentence I never expected to hear.'' Robin muttered and Anabel snickered in response.
''That was Champion Brendan and his son Ruby. I didn't expect to run into them here of all place.'' Anabel muttered. Brendan? Why did that name sounded somehow familiar to Robin? And Ruby as in Ruby and Saphire? Did she just run into someone important just now?
Resuming thing off, the first thing she tried on was a pretty pink dress with flowers drawn at the bottom. She happily twirled with it and decided whe would definitely keep this one.
''You really like the color pink huh?'' Anabel questioned with a smile.
''Y-yeah, maybe it was just because I was compensating or something. But I always loved everything that was girly. The color pink, dresses and skirts, cute stuffed animals, and anime about magical girls. Maybe I liked them so much because my parents always tried to keep those things away from me.'' Robin looked down with a frown and Anabel put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
They ended up sticking with what worked with skirts and bought red and black dresses too. They were about to leave and check out their items at the clerk. But then a simple white sundress caught her attention and she frozed. In the middle of the dresses was the drawing of a cheerful looking Minccino smilling back at her. She had to have that dress.
She quickly stripped the black dress she had been wearing and put on the white dress with the Minccino pciture. Anabel looked back at her when she noticed the girl wasn't following her anymore and smiled warmly when she noticed her wearing the Minccino dress.
''I bet someone will feel flattered when they see you wearing that.'' Anabel said with a small chuckle and Robin smiled right back.
They went to buy for all the clothes, Robin winced when she saw the total of everything. But Anabel reassured her it was fine. Robin ended up wearing the dress outside of the store with a bright smile on her face.
''I've wait so long to just be able to wear a dress like this without being afraid to be punished for it.'' Robin said with a bittersweet smile.
Anabel smiled back sadly. ''No one will ever give you trouble about what you like again Robin, I promise.''
The two of them went back home both feeling lighter despite all the clothes they had to carry back home.
They ate at the table in silence. The older woman was completely in the nude as she ate. It had been a bit awkward at first for both of them. But eventually seeing the older woman in the nude, just became normal to Robin. She had been tempted a few times to also try going naked in the house. But she just didn't feel confident enough to try. And at least right now. she preferred wearing her dresses rather than be naked anyway.
Anabel looked up and cleared her throat. ''So Robin, it's been almost a month since you've been in this world now. I wanted to give you time to adjust before talking about this. But I think it's time you enrolled into school.''
Robin stop bitting the chicken drumstick she had been munching on and looked up in surprise. ''Oh...I honestly kind of forgot that school was still a thing. But we're in March right now, there's only about four months left before summer vacations. And my birthday is in August so I'll be old enough to start my journey before school come back. Is it really worth it to even go?''
Anabel conceded the point with a nod. ''That's true you wouldn't be going for school for too long. However I think you should still do it for three reasons. One it would be nice for you to make friends your own age. I don't think staying cooped in here until August would be healthy, especially since I'll need to leave on jobs pretty soon and I don't know when I'll come back.
Secondly it will provide a safety net to fall back on. I don't want to be pessimistic. But not everyone manage to make a career out of being a Pokémon Trainer. If you end up having to give up on the Trainer's life. You would be able to resume your school education immediatly since you were arleady registered.
Finally the local school I want to register you to give out Pokémon for students who manage to qualify for a Trainer Licence. So you wouldn't have to scrunge up money to get a starter from the local gym or at the request board.''
Robin was left stunned at all her points. ''Wow...you really tought this through.''
''So...are you willing to go to school?'' Anabel asked expectantly.
''I guess it would feel silly to say no now.'' Robin replied with a small smile before they resumed eating in a comfortable silence...
As they walked toward the school Anabel had something else to talk about to Robin. ''Robin, I don't want to sound insulting, but you should think about joining a sport while you're here at school.''
Robin turned to her and self consciously rubbed her belly. ''A-am I really ugly like this?''
Anabel shooked her head frantically. ''What?! No! You're adorable and don't let anyone say otherwise. However the life of a Trainer is demanding. You would lose weight regardless once your journey start...But would you really want to start your journey puking on the side of the road because you're not used to walk for hours?''
Robin grimaced at that and shook her head. ''No, that sound horrible.''
Anabel nodded her head. ''If you start to excercise now it will help you to be a better trainer in the long run.''
Robin lowered her head, deep in tought. ''I guess it make sense, so what sort of sport should I pick up?''
''On the top of my head there's two I would recommend above everything else, the track team and the baseball team. The track team would easily be the best if we want to focus solely on making you lose weight and gain more stamina. However baseball is by far the most popular choice for prospective Trainers. It's one of the only sport that can help you train to throw and catch Pokéballs. Which is why it's the most popular global sport that is unrelated to Pokémon.''
''I-I think I would definitely prefer baseball. It sound more well rounded and I think I would die if I had to run around all day.'' Robin admit shamefully.
Anabel smirked. ''That's what I tought you were going to say. However I'm not sure if baseball is going to help you gain enough stamina in time. So I would recommend you also start to take long walk around the city when you can. If you start getting used walking around for long periods of time now, it won't be so bad when it's time to do it all day long on your journey.''
Robin gulped in dread at all the physical activity she would need to do in the next few months. But she nodded in acceptance. She had the chance to become a real Pokémon Trainer, the dream of millions of kids back home. She wouldn't let a little pain get in the way of that.
The girl and the older woman entered inside the school where they were soon greeted by a portly woman with graying pink hair. She smiled as she noticed the duo entering. ''Hello, you must be miss Anabel and miss Robin, am I correct?''
Anabel nodded as her professional smile slid into place. ''Yes Principal Joy, I assume she will be able to start tomorrow like we discuss?''
The principal nodded. ''Yes, but I just wanted to be sure about a few things. Firstly she's...another one of your cases is she? Just like the last one we accepted from you?''
Anabel frown but nodded. ''Yes she is.''
''So you said she's ready to begin 4th grade level studies. But I'm assuming that exclude history, right?'' Principal Joy questioned patiently.
Anabel winced, she hadn't even tought about that. But despite having a surface level knowledge about their world Robin really wouldn't know that much details about their history.
Principal Joy noticed her expression and shook her head lightly. ''You're lucky I tought about it miss Anabel. Now another thing is, her file said she's transgender, correct?''
Anabel felt cold dread fill her vein at the question and tried to tone down the hostility in her voice. ''Is that going to be a problem?''
The principal seemed almost offended at the question as she shook her head. ''No, no, no! Of course not. However we like to give more choices for such students.'' The principal then turned her attention to the girl who looked nervous under her gaze. ''Now sweetie, you have a few choices to make. Firstly the school uniform, would you prefer the uniform with shorts, aka the male oriented uniform or the one with a skirt aka the female oriented uniform? You should know that even cisgendered students are allowed to chose either one, so I'm not singling you out.''
''I-I want the female uniform.'' Robin replied nervously.
Principal Joy nodded in satisfaction. ''Alright next question, what pronoun do you prefer?''
''Pronouns?'' Robin replied a bit confused.
''He/him, they/them or she/her. Just choose the one you would like people to use for you.'' Anabel responded putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
''She/her please.'' Robin replied quietly.
''Okay final question and we're done. Here at this school we host our students in dorm rooms. Would you prefer to stay in the female only dorms or the unisex dorms? Since you identify as a female, I cannot let you go in the male only dorm, I hope you understand.''
Robin froze and then looked at Anabel. ''W-wait I'm staying here? I tought I would still be living with you?''
Anabel shook her head. ''There's nothing that stop you to come back home after school if you wish. The dorms are more for students who came here from another town or region. However all students are required to get a room even if they don't stay here. Plus I think this would be nice to have a place you can stay with friends when I'm gone for a long period of time on a mission.''
Principal Joy nodded in agreement. ''Yes I agree with her. This can be your home away from home while you're here. So what will it be? The female only dorms or the unisex one?''
Robin first instinct was just to choose the female only dorm. However there was something they mentioned that made her curious. ''You implied there's another, um, Faller here.'' She whispered very quietly as to not be heard. ''In which dorm are they?''
Principal Joy sighed at that. ''This is supposed to be confidential information...But I suppose they would be happy to have someone else like them. Very well, our other student in your situation chose the unisex dorm.''
Robin felt a bit nervous about having to share sleeping space with boys. But at the same time she assumed they wouldn't allow such arragement if there was an actual risk of them trying aything with the girls that lived with them.
''A-alright I want to be in the unisex dorm then.'' Robin tried to not let the nervousness show in her voice.
''I should warn you that there won't be many other girls with you if you choose this, most girls prefer the female only dorm. And you might end up with boys who chose the unisex dorm because they might have been a bit too interested with sharing a room with a pretty girl. But don't worry, they're all good kids. They won't try anything without your permision. But if you end up feeling uncomfortable at any point you can come to me and I'll transfer you with the girls. Assuming there's still any place left for you.''
Robin nodded and flushed slightly at the idea of boys flirting with her. She tended to like girls more than boys. But she had to admit the idea of boys being attracted to her new female body felt really exciting. As long as they respected her boundaries she tought she wouldn't mind living with boys.
''Alright with that we should be fine to enroll you here tomorrow. When you arrive, you should also consider enrolling in a club or two. Most clubs have stopped accepting new members at this point in the year. But there's still a few looking for new members.'' Principal joy said with an encouraging smile.
Robin nodded, she never really liked school back home. But for some reason she was really excited about tomorrow...
She almost felt like an intruder as she walked among the students going to school with her new school uniform. The uniform in question seemed to have been modelled after a sailor uniform. She had white shirt along with a blue collar. The only major difference is that she had a regular red tie instead of one tied to look like a butterfly. Along with that she also had a a marine blue skirt. The skirt was definetly a lot shorter than what she would expect from a school uniform. Which was definetly embarassing since she she decided to wear her skirt pantieless. As was apparently the norm in this world.
She was somewhat regretting that choice right now as a somewhat strong breeze blew across her. Her skirt was so short that her little cunnie was easily exposed in no time at all. Thankfully for her, no one had happened to look at her at that exact moment. But as the breeze continued she could feel the wind go up her skirt and blow against her bare lower lips. She couldn't stop the squeal that came out of her mouth.
Some of the girls that were passing by snickered and gave her knowing looks, much to her embarassment. As the other schoolgirls walked in front of her she could see that the school skirts were so short that most of their bare butt were partially revealed with each steps they took. Robin realised with an embarassed squeak that the same thing was probably true about her own skirt. And subconsciously tried to cover her behind by holding down her skirt, to not much avail.
Thankfully there were no more embarassing surprise before she entered inside the school proper. As she did she checked her schedule. She was supposed to show up at class 4-B and wait outside the classroom so that the teacher could introduce her.
She was a bit nervous about having to be in front of the whole class like this. She hoped they wouldn't hate her for some reason. She had never had any real friends back home because of how girly she acted. But now that she was a real girl, maybe it wouldn't be a problem anymore.
After being turned around a few times she finally found the classroom. The teacher, a balding middle-aged man wearing large thick glasses smiled warmly as he saw her. ''You're Robin right? Wait in there so that other students won't see you when they come in. I want this to be a surprise. Come back in front of the door once you hear the bell ringing.''
Their classes just happened to be close to the staff room. The teacher unlocked the room for her and guided her inside. Thankfully there was no other teachers inside. The room was lined up with sofas in a circular pattern. So she decided to sit on one of them while she waited.
She could feel the soft polyester fabric hugging her bare butt and realised with mortification that going with a skirt pantieless basically meant she would sit basically bare butt on everything. Not only would she dirty everything with her own bum sweat. But she was also afraid of getting some sort of illnesses sitting on things everyone used. Why did Anabel recommended doing this?!
Before she could sink further in her panic. She heard the sound of the bell ringing. It was too late to go back home now, but she would have some choice words with Anabel once the day was over.
Just as the teacher had instructed she left the lounge as soon as the bell rung and waited in front of the classroom. From inside she could hear the teacher and the students talking.
''Alright class! Today I have a surprise for all of you!'' The teacher said and as soon as she heard this she could hear the class buzzing with excitement.
''A surprise? Are we going on a fieldtrip?'' One boy asked excitedly.
''Are we going to get another guest lecturer about being a Pokémon Trainer?'' A girl asked with an axcited squeal.
[Are you going to bring out one of your Pokémon for a teaching lesson?] A surpringly robotic female voice asked. It kind of reminded her of these prerecorded voices you would hear while taking the subway. Was there a robot in the classroom? No probably not, that would be ridiculous.
''Sorry but none of that.'' The teacher replied. The student groaned in dissapointment and Robin felt a pang of anxiety at the fact they might be dissapointed they were only gonna get her. Instead of all the cool things they tought about. ''Today, a new student is gonna join our class.'' The teacher finally announced.
She nearly jumped out of her skin at the defeaning cheer that went throught the classroom. Robin could only be confused, she had never heard a class be this excited about having a new student.
''A new student, it's been so long!'' A girl said excitedly.
[Isn't it weird that they transferred so late in the year?] The robotic but feminine voice questioned.
''Who care? We're getting a new friend! I really hope it's a cute girl!'' A boyish voice exclaimed excitedly.
''I hope so too, we have more than enough dumb boys in this classroom.'' A girl said with a somewhat annoyed tone.
Before this could devolve into a back and forth the teacher cleared his throat loudly. ''Now if you can all settle down. I think we've made our new friend wait long enough. Robin you can come in!''
Letting out a nervous gulp Robin grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened the door. As soon as she entered inside she could feel the stare of about two dozen students all starring at her.
''Please say a few things about yourself.'' The teacher encouraged with a smile.
Robin fidgeted nervously. She was so nervous that she didn't even hear when someone in the class gasped.
''Hi I'm R-Robin, I guess you arleady knew that. U-um I like reading books and watching cartoons and anime. I-I don't really like sports, but I'm planning to participate in a few while I'm here.'' She was about to continue but was stopped when a boy interrupt her.
''If you don't like sports why would you participate in some? Ow!'' The boy got hit in the rib by a girl's elbow for his comment.
Despite this Robin still answered his question. ''U-um I guess because I want to be ready to acheive my dream.''
''Oh! And what's your dream?'' A girl with pink pig tail hair asked with an interested glint in her eyes.
''W-well, I don't know exactly yet, but I know I want to go on a journey with Pokémon.'' As soon as she said those words it was like she had opened the gate to tartarus. Everyone shouted in excitement.
''Yes! We got a future female trainer in our class!'' The same boy who had been excited to get a girl in the classroom exclaimed with blood coming out of his nose. Robin had really not expect this to be a real thing outside of an anime.
''Finally another girl who don't want to just stay at home and become some useless house wife.'' Said the voice of another familiar sounding girl with black hair and a somewhat dreary and pale looking appearance.
''POKÉMON! POKÉMON! POKÉMON! POKÉMON!'' Almost the entire rest of the class chanted.
''Alright! Alright! Let's all calm down okay?!'' Finally the teacher managed to calm down the students after a few minutes of trying to shout above the noise.
The teacher wiped the sweat off his brew once the class finally calmed down. ''Oof, you children are getting a little too energetic for my old age. Robin you can take the spot behind Giselle.'' He pointed behind the dreary looking girl and Robin nodded silently before making her way to her new desk.
As she sat down on her new chair she tried to not flinch as she felt the cold wood brushing against her bum and cunnie. Right she had almost forgot she didn't have panties with all the excitement.
[It look like you're going to fit right here just fine.] A familiar female robotic voice said right to her left.
When she turned toward the speaker she had to do a double take when she realised who had talked to her. Sitting to her left, with a tall stool instead of a regular chair, was an all too familiar Minccino.
''C-Charlie?!'' Robin exclaimed in pure shock.
The Minccino smirked and bought a smart phone with eyes that reminded her of a Rotom toward her mouth. ''Minccino, min!'' [It's good to see you again, Robin.]
AN: So if anyone's curious about the timeline of this story. As stated by Robin last chapter she came from the year 2011. The Black and White games were released at this point but only in Japan. Robin was sent here only one month before the games would launch in the rest of the world. And only a mere week before the Black and White anime series would start in North America.
I wanted her to have a good amount of knowledge about the Pokémon series, enough for her to be a huge fan of the show. But I wanted there to be still a lot of things still left unknown to her and Gen 4 seem like a good cut out point. Tought I admit the main reason why I decided on this date specifically was because I didn't want her to realise she's in the Pokémon world as soon as she saw Charlie the Minccino.
As for the Pokémon world itself this is meant to take place at around the same time as Scarlet and Violet. So most of the early generations plots have arleady happened a long time ago. Specifically Gen 1 and Gen 3 events took place fifteen years ago here.
