A/N: It is mindblowing that it's been ten whole years since I published this fic. I was in high school in a fresh relationship and new to online spaces. Now I've graduated uni, engaged to the girl from high school, and been back into writing for a while now. But I was glancing at my page here randomly and saw that it's been an entire decade since I first posted this. It's wild. I'm on Archive of Our Own now, and it's my primary place to post new work. If you're at all interested, feel free to check it out. But I do intend to post updates (yes, with an s) to Emerald Shades here. They'll be infrequent, I'm warning you now, but this story's nagged at me for years. Hell I still get comments asking for more. So I figure with the 10th anniversary here (and probably past) I should get back into it. I hope I haven't changed too much for you guys. It's good to be back somewhat, I hope you all enjoy it.
"You're so out of fucking practice," Thalia said. It wasn't even a smug taunt, that was the worst part.
"I know, I know, I know…" I said as I returned Lairon to his ball. My focus on Totodile was taking away from everything else and now my easy connection with my other Pokemon was waning. I needed to get it back. I sat down on the ground in front of the empty fire pit we'd made. I looked up at Thalia, wearing her black t-shirt and pants that went under her normal Magma sweater. We were stuck outside Mauville somewhere on the way to the supposed Fiery Path that ran under Mount Chimney and into Fallarbor.
"Hey," I heard Thalia say with more concern than I'd ever heard from her. I looked up. Her expression matched her tone. "You good?"
"That's…" I started, but stopped. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "That's a good question."
"Depressed?" she asked. I frowned.
"I'm not depressed."
"That's what they all say, then bam, diagnosis." She offered me a small smile that I returned back to her.
"Maybe a bit," I admitted. "Just that Totodile-"
"Totodile might be a hard choice you need to make," Thalia said bluntly. "Like look, I've seen you fucking struggling to get him to get over his issue but I'm wondering if maybe we should see Mark again and take his offer." Oh right. That was an option wasn't it. I had thought about it more than once. It'd be easier. Certainly, he could probably get through to Totodile faster.
"I think I want to make a breakthrough with that first," I said. "Maybe after that Mark can train him and help with recovery." I still felt down, like I was admitting defeat. Maybe Thalia was right and I was depressed. A little.
"You're also not in the groove you usually are," Thalia said.
"Yeah, maybe you're kind of right," I admitted. That earned a slightly smug 'hmph' from her. "I said kind of."
"Technically correct is the best kind," she said. Then she lowered her gaze and we remained in silence for several minutes. My mind didn't wander like usual. After all that sex with Anne and Lisia I just felt off. Like something was missing.
"Depression?" Shelly asked. Anne looked solemn on the screen, after explaining that she'd lost a lot of motivation ever since Brendan had gone off the radar and she hadn't taken the drug. Shelly tapped a well manicured nail to her chin. "I'll ask the boys down in R&D about it. See if there's any more side effects I'm unaware of."
"Understood ma'am," Anne said. She closed communications and left Shelly in a pickle. Meteor Falls was the priority mission right now. However she needed to get on the horn with R&D as soon as she could. If those side effects ruined her chances at snagging Brendan she'd never live it down.
"It's weird," I said. "I mostly feel fine just…" I searched for the right word. "Iffy."
"Iffy," Thalia repeated. I nodded.
"Yeah." I watched her. Her gaze hadn't really traveled up from the ground. I wondered, then, why she was being sent to Sootopolis on foot. Didn't Magma have helicopters? If I asked Thalia might go off on me. Might as well leave it. But then she looked up again, this time at me.
"Do you need… motivation?" she asked. I heard the words, understood each individual meaning, but lost the translation when I processed them coming from Thalia's mouth and in that tone. I looked at her directly, in her fucking eyes.
"Are you… offering what I think you're offering?" I asked. Thalia licked her lips and her gaze went sideways.
"Look, I'm gonna talk as Thalia right now. Not a Magma grunt, just Thalia. I just hate seeing you like this, and I was thinking that maybe if we did something it might help you out of your funk. And like, we are friends. For better or worse. So if we did something it might help.
"What like if we fucked?" I asked. Thalia's face went bright red. I'm not sure what it was about this situation in particular but I suddenly burst out laughing. A good belly laugh that had me falling over. It was loud and raucous and through the tears being forced out I could see Thalia getting angry.
"Look, you prick, if it was such a bad suggestion-"
"No, no," I tried to say before I started coughing. That didn't help my case with Thalia, but she let me at least finish my short coughing fit. "It's not that it was funny. It's just that I wasn't expecting it to come from you."
"I'm sexual, you know this," she said.
"No just… a mutual offer to me," I explained. "Since the last time you did anything sexual with me it was in the bottom of a boat and I had no say in it."
"Oh." Thalia now looked embarrassed. "Well I'm just saying that maybe we can do something. Especially considering how active you've been lately." Her tone towards the end curled into a small barb. I raised an eyebrow, laughter threatening to bubble up again.
"Do not fucking tell me you're jealous," I said. "Of me."
"Not all the time," Thalia said. Then she stopped. This wasn't following the script she had in her head at all. "I'd like to do… something, I don't know. Not fuck… not yet at least." She crossed her arms. I stood and walked over to her. She backed up as I advanced step by step until her back hit a particularly big tree. Her breath hitched as I walked up and planted an arm beside her head. I stared into her eyes as my face got close to hers.
"So you want me to do something to you," I said flatly. "You're feeling submissive right now aren't you?"
"Yeah." Thalia's eyes were wide and her voice small. "Fuck that look in your eyes is hot." She was one to talk, there was a desire in her eyes. The rise and fall of her well defined chest. I really didn't appreciate her well built figure. I reached a hand down and grabbed the waist of her pants, pulling them down. She didn't move. I had her pants down to about mid thigh and we remained standing there, still as stones. I could feel how hard I was. We were silent. We could hear the bug Pokemon chirping in the background.
"I uh…" I trailed off quickly. Thalia grinned.
"You're not good at this are you?" she asked.
"I am not, no," I said. Arceus that grin was hot. Thalia chuckled good naturedly before she reached out and deftly undid my pants with one hand. She pulled my cock out through the opening in my boxers.
"That's fine, submissive beta boy Brendan can't win 'em all." She started stroking me. It felt good. I realized it had been a while since I'd gotten off. A long while. Not since Mauville with Anne and Lisia had I actually cum.
"Maybe," I said while leaning in, "I'm also someone who can switch around." I reached a hand between Thalia's legs and slid two fingers inside her easily. She bit her lip and made a deep groan. I pumped my fingers in and out of her slit while her hand worked my cock wonderfully. The two of us were standing there panting hard as we got each other off. The hand I had planted beside Thalia's head I used to pull her t shirt up. She wasn't wearing a bra. I hadn't seen her naked since the river. I throbbed in her hand, and Thalia clenched around my fingers.
"Remember," she breathed, "no fucking."
"I'll try to remember that," I panted. "But Thalia you're putting me in a hard position."
"Pun intended?" she asked while actually smiling. She said she hated puns!
"Always," I said with a grin.
"It's nice to see you smile like-," she stopped as my fingers hit a particularly sensitive spot inside her, "-that. Been a while. Also you really are hot right now."
"You're one to talk," I said. I bit my lip and grunted as Thalia's fingers worked my cock head beautifully. "Arceus, how have I never noticed you properly before?"
"Too busy lusting after other girls." Thalia smiled at that one and I couldn't disagree.
"Guess I'm not blind anymore," I groaned. The hand lifting her shirt went to her breast and groped it. I looked down and saw that I had almost slid my cock between her legs. The head was close to her pussy and I was having to hold myself back. "Are you sure you don't want to fuck?" I asked.
"Of course I want to," she said. "But I want to wait. I dunno. Save that for something special." She grinned and leaned forward to whisper in my ear. "You can cum in my panties though." I let out a very audible moan myself as her hot breath hit my ear. Fuck.
"Risky isn't it?" I asked.
"Oh please, you've bred other girls directly. I can handle some cum being shot against me," There was the smug grin. She had a point.
"Well then, since you like risks," I leaned down a bit. "Let me take one." Before Thalia could ask I leaned in and kissed her. I wasn't sure if she'd stop the intimacy, punch me, both, or something else entirely. I just knew at that moment I wanted to feel her lips against mine. So it was a pleasant surprise when she returned the kiss. It must have sparked something because I felt Thalia clench around my fingers, and her hand damn near crush my cock in its grip, as she came. I pulled my fingers out and saw that her juices were coating my hand. Thalia's legs were shaking and closing and I took another risk. I slide my cock between her thighs, the shaft grinding against her slit. While she was busy trying to keep steady I ground my cock against her and elicited moans I loved hearing from her mouth. The shaking of her thighs combined with the heat and wetness made thigh fucking her feel amazing. It's no wonder I kissed her again and pressed the head of my cock against her clit as I came. When we separated we saw my thick white seed pooling in her panties, strings of it having gotten all over her inner thighs. Thalia pulled her pants back up and I stepped back.
"That," she said, "was good." She gave me a smile and booped my nose. "Not a bad first attempt, daddy Brendan."
"Don't ever fucking call me daddy," I said firmly. I hated that shit. Thalia chuckled.
"Good, I hate calling guys that."
"Not gonna bathe?" I asked as she went and sat down. I didn't realize how dark it had gotten until she got a fire going.
"Nah, I can do that tomorrow," she said. She paused for a moment and then added, "I also wanna just feel dirty tonight." I was spent but if I'd been any hornier, I can tell you I'd have gone for round two inside her.
"You are so hot," I said. Thalia grinned smugly.
"I know. Now sit down, it'll get chilly without the fire." I did, now realizing how tired I was.
"Might just konk out," I said. Really I was feeling like my sleeping bag would be heaven if I could just get into it.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything hurt you," Thalia said in about the most sarcastic tone possible.
"Ha ha," I said. I opened it and folded it over myself, not bothering to zip it up. I was right, once my head hit my small pillow I fell right to sleep in the heat of the fire.
My dream consisted of me walking through a thick forest. The canopy was suffocating, blocking out all sunlight. Just like Ilex back in Johto, except this was just a straight line. A hallway of thick impenetrable trees. Funny, I was usually good at penetrating. Yet here I was stumbling through this Arceus forsaken forest for who knows how many times. This had been a recurring dream for me. Just walking forever and ever along this path and hoping there would be a light. If anything gave me obvious depression it was this… and now I felt like a moron. Of course this is what my mind would make to show me what I was feeling.
That's what they all say. Thalia was right. My pace quickened. I was fast-walking. Then jogging. Soon I was belting down the path in a full sprint. I didn't fucking care, I needed to get out of here. As I felt my chest burn, my legs scream, and my arms cry out in pain from the sprint I saw a small light. That gave me the energy to push forward. As did the wind that was blowing through now. Actually the wind was really strong. I started running in place. I had to grab onto a branch to hold on as the wind increased its speed and power. I heard various snapping noises in the distance that grew louder and louder as they drew closer. I thought it was the branches until I saw the thick trees cracking and splintering under the pressure. The wind screamed, the trees exploded and then… brightness. I covered my eyes as they adjusted to the light. I was on a cliff edge, above an expansive ocean. The rough sound of waves crashing against the rocks filled the air. Up in the thick clouds I saw the shadow of a coiled shape. Yellow lines lit up along its length. It reared back a head and let out a mighty roar that shook the world.
I woke up to a dead fire but the heat was still at my back. It took a deep, sleepy breath on the back of my neck to tell me what happened. I smiled and snuggled back to sleep, content in my situation. Maybe I was on the cliff edge in some aspects. But I was able to get out of the forest. Things weren't so bad. I fell back asleep and found myself back on that cliff edge, enjoying the ocean view.
"No contact?" Courtney pouted as she fiddled with her tablet. Reports were saying that Thalia was failing to report in, that she hadn't for the past several weeks. What a curiosity.
"No ma'am," a grunt said.
"I may have to step in personally and see what's up with her," Courtney said. Perhaps this would be her shot at getting to meet the infamous Brendan who seemed so infallible to either team's schemes. If Thalia was failing to report in then perhaps he succeeded in the opposite direction. Perhaps he convinced Thalia to abandon Magma and pursue a standard life as a Pokemon trainer who fought the league for the championship. Oh that would be cute, wouldn't it? Star crossed lovers from opposing points of view. Yet at the thought of that a feeling panged in Courtney's chest. She frowned because she was well aware of what feeling it was exactly. She was jealous at that thought. Without having met him? Goodness she must be losing it. Though the videos she had poached from Shelley's frankly ill secured harddrives gave Courtney quite the image of the boy. The grunt left her presence as she failed to acknowledge him, and Courtney crossed her legs.
This was a path worth investigating.
It was the next morning and Thalia and I were packing up our gear. Sleeping bags were secured to our backpacks, Pokemon were in their balls, and the fire was put out. As I was adjusting my belt Thalia raised an eyebrow.
"You know you should catch some more Pokemon," she said. "Get some more type variety, you have two water types for fuck's sake."
"Four Pokemon is fine," I said. I rolled my eyes. "A lot of trainers have four Pokemon."
"Don't look me in the fucking eyes and pull the dick size argument with your party," she said. I frowned and looked at her.
"I… what?" It was a stone cold lie of a question. She caught on right away.
"I'm not having it shit head," she said. But she had a smile on her face as she finished the last of her packing. "Besides I'm excited to get back on the fucking road." she yelled the last part up into the air.
"Don't get too excited, it's just more road."
"Look it's better than constantly camping out here without any real good entertainment, and you seem to be out of your mood. So let's get fucking going." Thalia hefted her backpack and I did so as well. "Sootopolis awaits."
"It's very patient," I said. I grabbed the final piece of my outfit: my headband. I hadn't worn it in a while and putting it back on felt like a good step forward into the past. I slid it over my hair and let it snap onto my head. I heaved a great sigh as the familiar feelings came flooding back.
"Good to see you've achieved your final form," Thalia commented. Marring the moment wasn't even going to sour my mood.
"Hardly my final form," I said. "My final form is me on that champion's throne with a lovely harem surrounding me." I started to walk past her. "You can sit on my arm rest," I said as I passed. Instead of walking forward I ended up walking down. It was odd to consider until my face smashed into the dirt and Thalia's footsteps walked past my head.
"I'm not your fucking ornament," she said. I got up and wiped my face off. Surprisingly no blood. I did a quick jog to catch up to her and matched pace.
"Fine, you're the trophy," I conceded.
"You know what, go back to being in a shit mood," she said. But I saw it, that twitch of a smile on her face.
"Oh please, you did a wonderful job last night of helping," I said. "Also no good entertainment? Then what was last night?"
"A friend helping a friend," she said flatly. She gave me a sidelong glance. "I'm a generous friend."
"So did you change then?" I had to ask. I remember seeing my cum landing in and filling her panties before she pulled them up. Thalia grinned.
"Maybe," was all she said. I left it at that. My imagination would supply something better with her teasing. Though logically I assumed she did change. Surely she wouldn't want to feel dirty like that all day. Especially if we were going to head to Fiery Path. Then again this was the girl who fucked May and rode my face on whims so who knows.
"So," I said for lack of a conversation, "what Pokemon do you think I should catch next?"
"Fuck if I know," Thalia said. "I mean I guess whatever seems neat to you. But also, the two water types thing." She cocked her head at me. She still hadn't donned her proper Magma uniform. Just a casual red sweater and black pants.
"Isn't it weird that we're supposed to have a variety of teams, but fucking gym leaders can specialize?" I asked. Honestly it was something that had been on my mind ever since Brawley. His willingness to concede a field advantage spoke to his confidence as a trainer. Fighting types were weak to flying and he still allowed them ample space to maneuver.
"They're actually good at what they do," Thalia said. "Besides, you think they stay there rocking their best?" She snorted. "The Pokemon World Tournament in Unova is all about those trainers throwing their best Pokemon and tactics at each other. They can specialize because they have the experience."
"I suppose," I said.
"Oh it ain't a fuckin suppose," she said. "Trust me the higher we go the more you'll see just how in depth people know their preferred type."
"So do you have a preferred type?" I asked. Thalia shrugged.
"Not sure, never really thought of it," she said.
"Even being a part of Magma? No fire and ground types?"
"Look, not even Aqua uses all water types," she said. "I thought you would have noticed that. Unless you were too busy ogling their girls."
"Look," I started when someone barreled past us on a bike without ringing his bell or anything.
"Fuckin' shit for brains!" Thalia yelled after him. I looked down on the ground and noticed something had fallen.
"Well, well, what's this?" I asked as I picked up the item, which turned out to be a magazine. It was sealed. Inside was a thick magazine that had a stark black front. The raised grey lettering on the cover read 'PLM'.
"Why does that seem familiar?" Thalia mused.
"Should we open this?" I asked. "It could be sensitive material for someone."
"Since when the fuck did you care about that?" she asked. "You'd open this if there was a hit of porn in there."
"You're right," I said, ripping the plastic cover off with the right amount of vigour to send it flying into the brush. I'd pick it up in a minute as Thalia hovered over my shoulder to get a look. The PLM letters were vertically oriented on the left side. I tilted the book and the sunlight caught something. I tilted it again and letters engraved painstakingly thinly into the cover revealed themselves.
"Does that say… 'Pokemon Lovers Monthly'?" Thalia asked. We looked at each other, now worried about the contents inside.
"I mean it could be just a fanzine for enthusiasts or something," I speculated. Thalia grabbed the magazine from my hands.
"Yeah and I'm a ball of fuckin sunshine," she said, opening the first page to-
"Holy Arceus," I breathed. Thalia had a sharp intake of breath. Inside was a woman, quite petite, next to an enormous Houndoom. She was crouching down and throwing up double peace signs as the mask on her face obscured what she looked like. She wore a white tank top and super short jean shorts. The Houndoom in question had its dick flopped out on the floor beside her.
"No fuckin' way," Thalia breathed as she flipped to the next page. There the woman had the Houndoom dick laying on her face. The mask was in her hand as she was still obscured. On the opposite page she had her mask back on and was licking the tip. We flipped through and there was more. A lot more. Guys with Pokemon that were humanoid and feminine, girls with Pokemon of many different types. Huge dicks breasts in weird places, it was all in there. We combed through all of it out of curiosity. At the end was a disc. It looked professionally made and was labeled as 'Demo Disc #534: Millicent Houndoom Knot'.
"There's no fucking way that's what I think it is," I said as Thalia pulled the cardboard sleeve from its place in the cover.
"I think this is exactly what we fucking think it is." There were no pictures on the sleeve to show us a preview. We had no idea who Millicent was, but we presumed it was an alias.
"Sooooooooooooooo," I started. "Do we watch it?"
"In broad fucking daylight?" Thalia asked me in the most incredulous way. "Fucking of course not. We wait til night and we're alone, I thought you were good at hiding your porn habits."
"Oh yeah, good point," I said. Thalia closed the magazine and slid the disc into her bag when the light caught the back cover. "Hold on, what's that say?" We adjusted the position until it was clear to us. Lavaridge Town, behind the hotspring, once a month, 'I Want to Tie the Knot'
"What in Arceus's name is that last bit?" Thalia asked.
"Password," I stated. "It's not too crazy a phrase to hear out in the wild, so it's used to give access to the special behind the scenes bits."
"Fuck."
"Yeah." We stood there in silence for a moment. Then we turned on each other.
"Should we-" we said simultaneously. We stopped and restarted at the same time. "I mean it would just-" We averted our gazes. "It'd only be to check it out." We stopped talking and tried to reconcile with ourselves about what we were suggesting. "Oh so you wanna-" we stopped again. Thalia let out a loud groan.
"Let's take a second and actually talk about crashing a secret fucking Pokephile club meeting," she said. "Cause that's a Seviper's nest without question."
"It's insane," I said. "Like what kind of shit will await us?"
"People fucking Pokemon you drooling moron," Thalia said.
"Obviously, you rabid dog, but like what else?" I asked. "Cause is it part of an organized crime thing?"
"What, you think Magma's all about Pokephilia?" she challenged. "Much as I'd like to accuse them, I don't think Aqua's about that either." Then she took a moment to think "Good ammo to use to call them names though. You know what, maybe it is Aqua after all, the conceited pricks."
"Personal flag waving aside," I interjected, "this is a risky thing to do even considering the fact one of both incompetent ass teams are running it." Thalia gave me a frown, much less intense than her previous glares. "Plus, let's consider, we are a long fucking way out of the way to deal with this." I pulled up my map and pointed to the Fiery Path, which was approaching. Or would be if we'd fucking start walking again. I said as much and Thalia's mood turned down several notches as she remembered where we were supposed to be going.
"Fine, yeah," she said. "Let's hope we can actually make it to the Fiery Path before sundown." So we walked and tried to get the kinks out of our joints and ignore the Pokephile porn mag and disc in our bags.
Pokephilia's status depended on the region. From what I remember in Johto it was mostly an open secret, with reports of lonely housewives being found with their domesticated Pokemon balls deep inside them. In Hoenn, I guessed that it was more downplayed and Thalia seemed to confirm that assertion.
"Authorities ain't too keen on it," was what she had said. Now Thalia didn't know much, just reports she'd read while out and about. So having a secret get-together behind a hot spring in an isolated town under a volcano was about the best place someone could have that kind of meeting.
"So then what's your stance?" I asked her suddenly. It had been a while since we'd spoken, and the sun was dipping closer to the horizon. I hadn't anticipated this taking so long. Thalia was busy typing something on her PokeNav. She looked up from her typing.
"On what?"
"You know," I said, gesturing to my bag where the magazine was hidden. Thalia gave me a look I can only describe as quizzical.
"What answer are you fishing for?"
"I'm not fishing for anything," I said. Mostly the truth. "I just wanted to see where you stand on it."
"Well where I stand, I'm hungry," she said. What? I looked at her confused when my stomach growled loudly.
"I see your position," I said and noticed the sun as it lowered itself more and more. "Holy fuck this is taking way longer than I thought it would."
"We should set up camp," Thalia said. "Otherwise we'll just be way too fucking exhausted to tackle the path to Fallarbor."
"Well then, let's find a good spot to set up."
Ping! Went Courtney's tablet as she renamed the constellations in the sky for the 112th time. Maxie kept updating her with reports on Aqua positions with the order to hold hers, but no one was coming near them. How curious. She opened the notification and saw, to her surprise, a report from Thalia.
Subject: Brendan
I spent time with Brendan alone outside of Mauville city. For three weeks he took a break and seemed to fall into an uncharacteristic depression. Some of this depression links to one of his Pokemon, which has a temperament that makes it prone to get angry at minor mistakes. As of last night, I engaged Brendan in a mutual sexual act whereupon he fell asleep and woke up having seemingly returned to his normal self. As his previous sexual encounter with the idol Lisia was the most recent, I suspect that she may have done something to him to trigger that episode. As of right now we are traveling to the Fiery Path in order to enter Fallarbor town. It is likely we will be in Meteor Falls and if the reports are true, we will encounter and engage Team Aqua in combat. It is likely Brendan will defeat them.
Glory to Team Magma, Thalia.
Courtney marveled at the difference between how the girl spoke and how she wrote. She really could be clinical if need be. However, Courtney was more focused on the attached file. It was an audio file titled Sexual Encounter. Courtney placed her earbuds in her ears and opened the file, leaning back and listening. It was them all right. From what Courtney gathered, they got each other off before he used her thighs as a finisher. She licked her lips. He certainly was a naughty one.
Just as the audio finished another ping popped up on her tablet. It was a file that was made to automatically be gleaned from the Aqua database. Courtney opened it and saw it was a report from R&D to Shelly about the aphrodisiacs that she had employed. That's right, Thalia would be unaware of those, along with the Aqua girl that had tried to seduce him. This would be very interesting to see unfold.
"Holy Arceus!" Thalia said as the video played out on my PokeNav screen. Turns out Devon Corp had added a disc scanning feature that let me burn the file onto my device. We were currently watching Millicent, who turned out to be the girl in the first pages of the magazine, getting creampied by a very well endowed Houndoom. The moans she was making were so filled with lust it was unreal. The camera moved and focused on how the knot was inside her, stretching her out while keeping his cum inside.
"That has to hurt," I commented. Thalia was leaning against me as we watched.
"Probably," she said. The video continued with the knotting before finally pulling out with a loud pop noise. The Pokemon's cum spilled out in thin globs and landed on the tile floor wetly. Millicent was shaking with pleasure.
"Took them long enough," I said. Thalia nodded. The video was, in all honesty, quite boring. The first twenty fucking minutes were spent trying to corral the beast into a position for Millicent to do work, and the next fifteen were spent trying to make sure they were actually fucking. The last five minutes had the fucking and knotting but that had also been edited down.
"We had to sit through that?" Thalia asked once the video ended.
"I guess," I said. "So?" I looked at her and she shrugged.
"I mean, the actual fucking wasn't bad," she said.
"Creampie was nice."
"Fuck yeah it was. Not enough of that though."
"Yeah I mean it's hot seeing her get fucked but like it's not like it's better than seeing her take a human dick." I closed my PokeNav and we sat there.
"Maybe it's something you gotta be there in person for," Thalia said. I let out a sigh.
"Probably, maybe, I don't know." I tried to focus on the discussion but I won't lie, seeing Millicent get creampied was hot. Enough that I was hard in my shorts. I looked over to Thalia, who wasn't showing any signs of arousal. I could jerk off on my own.
"Would you?" she asked me.
"Maybe? You?"
"Maybe once," she said. "Just to see." I nodded at that and we sat in silence for a minute.
"I gotta cum," I said bluntly. What the fuck, shoot my shot. Thalia blinked and I expected her to go off on me. Instead she said,
"Go sit against the tree." I did so, leaning back against it. Thalia stood and quickly removed her pants, leaving only a pair of cute purple panties. She looked down. "Lose the shorts." I did, quickly, and she sat in my lap, straddling me. My bulge was pressing into her and she let out a deep whimper.
"Still submissive?" I asked. Thalia nodded, but had a grin on her face.
"Yeah but I want to power bottom a bit," she said. "Now come on, grind that thing into me. You know you want to fuck me so use me tonight."
"You said we weren't fucking yet," I panted.
"I know, but I have an entire body," she said. "I want you really desperate when I finally decide you're good enough."
"Also power bottom?" I asked, unaware. Thalia chuckled and held my face in her hands as she continued to grind.
"I have so much to teach you," she said. I smiled. This felt right. Not just because it was hot, but it felt like a return to form. Thalia noticed and commented. "What's got you so happy?" I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer, pressing my bulge into her more. Thalia let out another deep whimper and I grinned.
"It's good to be back."
A/N: I'm a day late, I know, but happy ten years of Emerald Shades. I'm sorry I wasn't there for 6 of them. In all honesty the fact I still, to this day, get requests for updates makes me happy that I wrote something so many people love. I'll be blunt with you all, I can't promise consistent uploads for this fic. However, with that said, I want to finish it. Normally I'm a staunch believer in a creator not owing an audience anything, but this is a genuine passion I want to pursue along with my work on AO3. And I do feel like I owe you all at least something other than the usual.
On a slightly more serious note I was dealing with some anxiety while writing this. I reread Emerald Shades and man I've evolved so much as a writer, I'm sure you can tell. I've changed so much that I don't think I could ever have a proper return to form, as it were, but I realized that's okay. I'm a better writer than I was when I first wrote this fic, but I endeavoured to add some of the old spice to the mix. I hope this wasn't too much of a departure stylistically, and I wanted to include a battle here but I figure that'll be for next time. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this, and what's to come for it. If you like how I've changed, please look me up on AO3 under DarkAngelofFire. It's vastly different to my body of work here, but better I think. If you don't, then I guess it wasn't meant to be. Thank you so very much for reading my work, I cannot express just how much it means to me. - DownsofFire
