Blazepanzer here, and thank you for taking the time to look at my fanfic,I hope you enjoy! This story was first published on AO3 due to the Stat Outages here on FF, but it is now coming to this site! Three real quick things to state. For starters, while this story isn't a crossover persay, two of the main characters are my OC's which are used in my Girls und Panzer Universe and those character's history does bleed into this story. So you can expect some slight mentions of that universe and other Blazepanzer fan-fictions. Secondly, this story does mention kidnapping a little bit in the beginning, but it's off-screen. Third, Rosa does apear a bit later in the stroy, but it's an enitrely diffrent verson of Rosa so she might not exactly be cannon to the games or other media.

With all that said, enjoy! Note that Blazepanzer does not own Pokemon:

Her green eyes gazed out of the cave as she clutched her knees to her chest, letting out a small sob as she shivered from the cold. How could this have happened? She whispered, silently, a gentle sob threatening to erupt from her.

A gentle hand on her bare shoulder tried to comfort her, but she didn't budge. Instead, she burred her face in her hair. "How could I have been so blind?" she whispered.

"Rikona...it's..."

The brunet sighed and gazed at the ginger haired girl next to her, the smaller girl shivering slightly. Some described her as an Irish version of Yolko from Sword Art Online, albeit this Irish girl had bright ginger hair, dark green eyes, ever so slightly reddish skin, and was covered in freckles on her face, shoulders, upper arms, and chest.

A stark difference compared to Rikona. Only her medium brown hair betrayed her Japanese lineage, with everything else about her screaming Dutch, so much so that she never truly considered her Japanese outside of citizenship. She had white skin, and lime green eyes. On top of that everything about Rikona was huge, what with her being thick boned and having a height of 190 centimeters, compared to Hanoashi's more average build and her height being 157 centimeters. The only thing large about Hanoashi was her bust size of double D, however even Rikona's H size dwarfed that.

Rikona let out an exasperated sigh. "You're a piece of work Blaze," she croaked, half in distress and half in disbelief. You look really sick! she despaired silently.

"You're not much better cousin," the ginger haired girl chuckled, before erupting into a serious cough.

"Yeah, well, I guess we're both naked at this point and time," Rikona sighed.

"Seems that way," Hanoashi groaned, before rising up. "Someone's coming!" she whispered.

At once Rikona jumped up, extending her arm past the ginger so as to protect her.

"Hey! I was in Sensado, I can protect myself you know," the girl growled, her dark green eyes blazing, however her defiance died in a coughing fit.

Rikona paid her no attention, instead gazing forward as a rather tall individual in a strange mask approached. "Oh my..."

"Don't..."

Rikona gazed at her cousin before gazing back to the tall individual.

"Did...someone kidnap you?" the individual asked.

"Yes! They had us tied up and chained to their bedpost!" Hanoashi shouted indignantly, before once again coughing, this time more of a hacking cough than a normal cough.

"Hanoashi, please be quiet!" Rikona chided, before turning back to the individual. "Yes, we were...abducted so to speak," she added quietly. "My name is Rikona Matsumino and this is Hanoashi Katoni," she added.

"Hey wait a second, we're speaking a different language," Hanoashi noted.

"Yeah, you're right Blaze," Rikona mused.

"First, let me call up Carman and she'll bring you some clothes. Then we can bring you somewhere more...comfortable. Oh, and my name is Eri."

"It's nice to meet you, Eri," Rikona bowed gently, her cousin quickly following the motion. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?" she added quietly.

"Well...for starter's you are in a cave in the Paldea region, north area region two," Eri shrugged. "Fairly close to my base, actually," she added.

"Base?" Hanoashi tipped her head.

"Team Star Base, it'd take me over an hour to explain the details, and we need to get you some cloths and shelter."

Rikona let out a small sneeze, and for the first time she realized that she felt a bit feverish. "Yeah..." she jumped as Hanoashi let out a rather serious coughing fit. "You okay Blaze?" she asked.

"Yeah...I..." she coughed a bit more. "I'm fine."

"How long have you been naked like this?" Eri asked.

"Overall at least two days, but only a few hours in this cave," Rikona admitted. "All I know is that me and Blaze were praying hard and suddenly we blacked out and then awoke in this cave."

"Blaze? Thought you said her name was..."

"Nickname...feel..." Hanoashi once again erupted into a coughing fit. "Feel free to use it if you want," she added.

"Ah...okay then..." Eri paused as a girl called her name.

"I brought the...oh my..."

"Ser..." Hanoashi began, but erupted into yet another coughing fit.

"What...what happened?" Carman gasped.

"Not too sure, but from what I can see they were kidnapped, tied up, and held captive. Apparently they prayed hard and ended up here, in this cave," Eri noted.

However Rikona was beginning to fade out from exhaustion, and the last thing she felt was her being carried...or more likely dragged out.

"So wait...you're saying that?"

"Yes..."

Rikona woke up to a man in white hair sitting next to Eri. She glanced over, gazing down as she noticed that Hanoashi wasn't there.

"Where is she?" she gasped, bolting up, before coughing.

"We took you both to Mesagoza hospital as soon as you fainted, but...Hanoashi is struggling to pull through," Eri sighed.

"Yeah, you were both lucky that Eri found you when she did," the man noted. "Now, your name was Rikona, right?"

"Y...yes," Rikona gazed down. "May I go see Hanoashi?" she asked.

"I'm afraid not, no one is allowed unless it's a nurse." Eri sighed, before gazing toward the man. "Well, I'll be off Director Clavell," she added with a bow.

"Right, best get back to your studies,"the man chuckled, before gazing at Rikona. "Young Katoni has a serious case of the pneumonia, so we want to avoid any unnecessary contact if we can," He explained softly.

"That's fine, but my I talk with her?" she asked gently.

"Her room phone number is written down, just...kinda take it easy, it's not good for her to be talking too much at the moment."

"Thank you...may I ask what's going to happen to us?" Rikona asked hesitantly.

"We're still deciding on things," he remarked. "We want for you and young Katoni to join in with society, it's just the details on how that we're not quite sure of. You look a bit too old to need adopting, yet too young to just enter the workforce so to speak."

"Hanoashi is sixteen and I'm turning sixteen in a few months," Rikona offered.

"I'll be sure to inform the league of your ages. You've got a particular date you can give us?" he asked.

"Hanoashi was born on April eighth,1997, and I was born on November sixteenth, 1997." Rikona noted softly. "Although I'm not too sure if the birth year really helps."

"Right, let me write that down real quick." Clavell nodded.

"So...what should Hanoashi and I be doing in the meantime?" Rikona asked gently.

"Well, Hanoashi is going to need at least a week or so to recover, and I suspect that you'll want to begin your new life together, so..."

"Right, just keep my head down, wait until she is discharged, and study the rules and laws of this world," Rikona nodded. "I can do that...but...what about the medical bills?"

"That can be worked out later," He reassured her." But for now I must take my leave," he rose and bowed, before exiting the room.

Laying down on her bed, she let out a quiet sigh. I used to love bondage...but after that... she shook her head visibly. "Don't think about that!" she hissed quietly, before picking up the phone and dialing her cousin's number.

"Hey cousin," the familiar albeit raspy voice of her cousin groaned.

"You don't sound so good Blaze," Rikona chocked out.

"Meh, it's not as..."she paused as she erupted into coughing." It's not as bad as it sounds," she finished.
"Wish I could see you though," she added.

"Yeah, but it's probably best we stay separated until you improve. I'm still got a bit of a high fever" Rikona added.

"Hey at least we can call each other," Hanoashi smiled, although she ended in yet another coughing fit. "I think that I might watch some TV and try to figure out about this place," she added.

"Same. You rest up as much as you can, alright?" Rikona asked.

Absolutely," Hanoashi smiled. "You too," she added, before hanging up.

Rikona let out a small sigh as she laid back down, flipping the screen on. "Introducing the all new escape rope," an advertisement echoed in the room.

Escape rope? Rikona asked herself, snorting. I think that I have escaped from enough ropes, thank you very much! At once she narrowed her eyes. Maus Damn you Rikona, You've always loved bondage when you were in control, and now you and Hanoashi spend the past two days bound up in some degenerate's bedroom! And the worst thing is that I highly doubt you won't go back to it...the bondage.

At once her phone began to ring, and she picked it up. "What's wrong Blaze?" she asked, worried.

"Please turn to channel A-19!" her raspy voice gasped.

"Why?" Rikona asked while simultaneously turning to said channel, Gasping as she saw a report on the Galar region, something about Dynamaxing and a champion Leon quelling the issue.

"So, wait, this is the kind of world we find ourselves in?" Rikona gasped.

"I'm kinda scared," Hanoashi admitted.

"We'll be together, alright?" Rikona promised.

"Right," Hanoashi whispered, before erupting into another fit. "I feel better now," she added.

"You need to rest your voice," Rikona urged.

"Alright, let's call at six and compare notes then," Hanoashi rasped, and whispered a quick "I love you."

"Love you too, cousin," Rikona smiled, and hung up, preparing for the long haul.

After hours of studying, or more aptly watching TV, a more bland dinner than what she was used too, and a quick conversation with Hanoashi, she understood the basics. Apparently, they lived in this world filled with these creatures called Pokemon. These creatures held fantastical powers which allowed them to use certain elements as weapons, and people often enjoyed friendly engagements with said Pokemon.

The humans of this world also had two unique powers, the first being more advanced technology and the second being a resistance to the Pokemon attacks. Granted, it did not make you immune, you would still hurt and possibly die if hit in the wrong way, but you could theoretically take a Flamethrower to the face and survive with just a small burning sensation, crisped hair and soot.

There were some other quirks of course,such as hair growth being determinate on the user's preferred style, and such, but nothing major. And thankfully the blood test showed that both she and Hanoashi also somehow had these quirks, whether it was natural in their old world but unknown due to a lack of Pokemon or if their bodies changed when they entered the world was another thing entirely.

Rising up, she decided to go for a walk around the facility to clear her head. Her long medium brown hair flowed behind her as she exited the door, making sure to take note of her room, before walking down the hallway. She really had no place to go, but none the less she just wanted to move around a bit.

She paused when she came across a picture of a what she assumed to be a girl on a snowboarder, with a white moth trailing behind him. "They're very pretty," she mused, entranced by the beauty of the blue haired girl and her moth.

After a bit she heard a man's voice echo next to her. "It seems like it's been so long ago," he whispered.

Glancing over toward him, she did a double take. Wait, that was a guy!? she gasped inwardly.

"You wouldn't be the first to do that," he sighed, turning toward her. "My name is Grusha," he added, extending his hand.

Rikona reluctantly accepting it, not too sure if she yet felt comfortable with that kind of contact just yet. Not surprising that given her captor had a habit of messing with her and Hanoashi's hands. And feet. And legs and arms and breast and stomach. Oddly avoiding the hips though.

"Rikona Matsumino," she smiled, hiding her discomfort.

"You alright, you seem red," Grusha noted.

"Just a fever, not contactable," Rikona smiled as she let her arm fall gently to her side. "So you're a snowboarder?" she asked.

"Formerly, had to retire after suffering an accident, going to be discharged tomorrow," he remarked somberly.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that," Rikona sighed.

"No worries, apparently the league wants me to become one of the gym leaders, so yeah, it'll work out I suppose," he remarked.

"Gym leader?" Rikona tipped her head.

"Yeah, wait...you don't know what a gym leader is?" Grusha asked.

Rikona shook her head and began to explain how she and her cousin were kidnapped and how they entered this world. "Unfortunately Hanoashi is currently in the intensive care unit battling a bad case of pneumonia," she added.

"Wow...I...I'm sorry that happened to you," Grusha sympathized.

"I'm sure that she'll pull through, she's a tough kid, although her having to go though it isn't easy on me. She's...the closest thing I have to a sister to be honest." Rikona confessed. "She almost did become my sister, actually."

"May I ask how?" Grusha asked as he sat down, motioning for her to join him.

Obliging, Rikona folded her hands into her lap and gazed at him as she began the tale. "Well for starters, us Matsumino were kinda of an elite family. Rich, high status, that kind of thing. When it came to marriage though, the rules were simple. If you were a guy, you could marry any girl you wanted to. If you were a girl though, it had better be a high class guy, or you'd be disowned."

"That sounds kinda sexist, but unfortunately I've heard about families like that in our world," Grusha admitted.

"Yeah," Rikona took a deep breath before continuing. "Anyways, Hanoashi's mother, Yu, feel in love with an office worker by the name of Drake Katoni, and while he was a hard worker, he was more so of a poorer family, so Yu was giving a choice, abandon him or the Matsumino. She chose him," Rikona paused briefly and smiled. " Her sister...my mother, Shelia, well she never abandoned Yu like the rest of the family did. I have a lot of respect for her in that regard."

"And Hanoashi was born from Yu and Drake, I'm guessing?" Grusha gaped.

"Well, Nova was the first born, followed by Hanoashi a year later," Rikona furthered on. "They were close, despite a few sibling rivalries so to speak. However, unfortunately when Hanoashi was just six years old, the office her father and mother now worked in caught on fire, and both Drake and Yu fought hard to get everyone out. Unfortunate Yu had a ton of injuries and died that day, after just becoming pregnant with her third child." Rikona paused and gazed down,not speaking for a bit as she shuddered at the memory.

"Drake had to spend two months in the intensive care unit, and that's when I met Hanoashi for the first time. We were...awkward around each other at first, but became close really quickly. With Nova going to live with a distant relative in America, it wasn't too surprising we latched onto each other so quickly, with me wanting a sibling so badly and Hanoashi losing her brother and mother in the same day..."

"Why not raise them together?" Grusha asked.

"Well...Drake wanted to keep one of his kids, but couldn't afford to keep both of them. With the only relative being all the way in America, and given that wasn't really a good place for a girl persay, he opted to keep Hanoashi in Japan. Not to mention that he told me once that Hanoashi reminded him too much of Yu, and that he couldn't just let her go." Rikona explained.

"That makes sense," Grusha mused, before gazing back at the moth painting. "You really think that Frosmoth is beautiful, huh?" he mused.

"Yeah..." Rikona smiled.

"Here," he handed her a strange ball.

"Huh...what's this?" Rikona asked, gingerly taking the ball.

"Come with me and I'll show you want to do...that is if you're up for a bit of a tutorial," Grusha chuckled.

"Um...sure?" Rikona rose up and followed him a way, not entirely sure what he was going to do.

After buying her a small bag and some various other oddities, she was lead into a rather large green house, albeit the house was mostly sparse aside from a handful of flowers and a few trees.

"There's two ways to releases Pokemon from it's Pokeball," Grusha began. "You can point the ball away from you and press the button, or you can throw the ball."

"Huh...wait, you're giving me a Pokemon?!" Rikona gasped, staring at him in shock. "I...mean thank you sir...but...you didn't have to do that for me," she added,gazing down in embarrassment.

"It's quite alright miss Rikona, our job as gym leaders partially entails establishing new trainers," Grusha smiled. "Now...if you would..."

"Right," Rikona smiled, pressing the ball, gasping as a white light erupted from the ball.

"Snom?" the mysterious white worm creature asked.

"This is Snom, the pre-evolution of Frosmoth," Grusha explained. "If you train her well and with dedication she will eventually evolve into Frosmoth."

"Evolution?" Rikona tipped her head in confusion.

"When certain conditions are met, Pokemon will evolve into new forms. Snom is a bit tricky though, we don't quite know for sure what triggers it's evolution in the wild, but we do know that every time one evolved with a trainer, the trainer had a particularly close friendship with it, as well as that it occurred only at night." Grusha explained.

"So, how do I train her?" Rikona asked gently.

"Well battling is one, as well as using it's move in terms of practice. Of course other forms of exercises can help it as well."

"Battling?" Rikona gazed at him uncertainly.

"Yeah, it's a popular sport here in our world," Grusha noted. "But that will come later, as you need to learn how to battles as well as the rules, given that violating those rules could result in serious consequences.

"Absolutely sir," Rikona promised as she kept down and extended her arm. Snom sniffed at her hand briefly, before climbing on and letting out a small cry of joy.

"She feels kinda cool to the touch," Rikona remarked as she stood up.

"Well Snom is an Ice/Bug type," Grusha explained gently.

"That makes sense," Rikona admitted.

Hanoashi gazed out the window, letting out a small sigh as she began to miss her old life. Not a dime to my name and a massive hospital bill...Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Rikona is with me...but even so I miss Sensado. I miss talking shop with Miho, or going on dates with Yukaro...Maus he must be so worried about me!

She laid down, placing her arms behind her bed and let out a small sigh. The worst thing is that I enjoyed it when that scumbag abductor of mine...well...I had a gut feeling that I would enjoy allowing my husband to somewhat have his way with me from time to time, but...I didn't want it to be a stranger like that, nor to be tied up. And yet...

A loud crash broke her concentration and she gasped as she gazed out of the window, seeing a rather large bee-like creature gazing at her.

"Miss Kaotni...are you okay?" A nurse shouted as she rushed in, gasping as she saw the Bee.

"Beee!" The bee creature growled, handing her an odd cocoon-like egg, before the Bee lost it's balance and began to drop on the streets below.

"No!" Hanoashi gasped, starting to go forward, but a coughing fit erupted from her once again as the Nurse grasped her by the wrist, preventing her from rushing to her death like the Bee creature.

"Hanoashi...did that Beedrill hurt you?" the nurse asked quietly.

"No Ma'am," Hanoashi shook her head, before gazing down at the egg. "What is this?" she asked quietly.

"It looks like a Beedrill egg," the nurse, whom Hanoashi could now see that her name was Beatrice, gazed over the egg. "Once it hatches the Weedle which hatches from it will be yours," she added.

"A...child?" Hanoashi mused, gazing at the egg in awe. "So that Beedrill was giving me her child to take care of?" she asked.

"It must have been desperate," Beatrice guessed, shrugging. "They aren't really native to the Paldea region, and Beedrill swarms have a tendency to become dangerous, so I'm guessing some idiot decided to spray poison on them to kill them out."

"I see...I'll do what I can for him then...but I don't have any..."

"The ward can cover the basic cost," Beatrice reassured her. "But we must get you into another room before you catch your death, and the egg will need an incubator," she added, urgency in her voice.

"I understand," Hanoashi coughed, following the nurse as she was lead into the adjacent room. "Any chance I can see my cousin Rikona?" she asked gently.

"As soon as you recover from the pneumonia," Beatrice reassured her gently.

"Right," Hanoashi yawned as she was sat on the bed, watching the nurse place the egg in an incubator for her. "Think I'll call him Wasp," she whispered.

"How do you know it'll be a male?" Beatrice asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Mother's instincts?" Hanoashi shrugged, before coughing again.

"Don't tell me..."

"Maus no, although my dream was to become a stay at home mother," Hanoashi sighed, interrupting Beatrice's question.

"Alright, I believe you, but it's time for you to rest, alright?" Beatrice urged.

"Understood...and...thanks for everything," Hanoashi whispered as she fell asleep.

Rikona let a small stretch as she returned the newly named Yuzu, named after a classmate of hers. She and Yuzu both came from strict,upperclassman families, so they understood each other. The thing with Yuzu is that she always wore white, no matter what, and Frosmoth reminded her of her old friend. Grusha had long since retired to his room, and Rikona had spend the past five hours in the garden lobby getting to know her new Pokemon, learning how to feed it, and all that stuff.

As she walked to her room, she let out a deep breath. I hope that Blaze is okay, she whispered gently, before climbing into her bed and falling asleep.

Only an alarm woke her. "Why am I in a bed?!" she gasped, before gazing at her bag with the poke-ball handing out. "Oh..." she whispered, remembering that she was in a hospital in the Pokemon world instead of some sumbag neet's bedroom, tied up and naked.

She walked into the bathroom, taking a quick shower before exiting the room and grabbing her bag, before she paused, glancing at the phone. She nodded and dialed the number, frowning as she only got a busy signal. "Who are you calling Blaze?" she wondered out-loud, before her phone went off. "Hello?"

"Morning Rikona!" Hanoashi's cheerful voice echoed from the other end, before erupting into a coughing fit.

"Still not better?" Rikona asked gently.

"Meh, had to change rooms," Hanoashi sighed. "Anyways, how bout you, anything exciting happen?"

"Where do I begin?" Rikona laughed.

"Well it can't be as bad as a giant dying bee crashing into your hospital room and handing you it's egg," Hanoashi huffed. "And yeah, I know that sounds like the pneumonia talking, but I'm staring at the egg as we speak."

"Huh..." Rikona mused. "I met Grusha yesterday," she admitted.

"Who's Grusha?" Hanoashi asked gently.

"Apparently he's a new Gym leader," Rikona shrugged.

"Gym leader?" Hanoashi shrugged. "Guess I'll be reading up on that soon," she added.

"He gave me a Snom," Rikona mused.

"Rikona...you shouldn't be accepting food from strangers like that," Hanoashi chastised, her voice serious before erupting into a coughing fit.

"Huh?" Rikona gasped.

"You said he got you a scone, right?" Hanoashi asked.

"No no, a Snom, it's a worm Pokemon that evolves into an ice moth called Frosmoth," Rikona sighed.

"Ew...you can't eat worms," Hanoashi gagged. "But yeah I guess it's okay to accept a Pokemon from a Gym Leader, whatever that is..."

"So...you've got an egg incubating?" Rikona asked.

"Apparently so," Hanoashi shrugged. "From what I understand the nurse is..." She paused, coughing for a bit. "Apparently the nurse is saying that it'll hatch into a Weedle first and then eventually evolve into a Beedrill."

"So our first Pokemon is a Moth and a Bee," Rikona mused.

"So it would seem," Hanoashi paused, and caught for a bit. "Think I'll rest, as soon as Wasp hatches, I want to be on the mend, or at least enough that I can properly care for him."

"Yeah, I can't wait for you to meet Yuzu," Rikona smiled. "Well, try not to get too bored Blaze, alright?"

Same to you, Rikona. Love you."

"Love you too." Rikona smiled, handing up the phone. Letting out a small quiet smile, she exited the room, and entered the canteen, picking up the "free" lunch for the patients so to speak. Wasn't much, just a pancake, two slices of sausage, and a Paldan Omelet.

She ate quickly, trying to push her worries out of her mind as she quickly exited the Canteen after finishing her breakfast and headed to the Library, hoping to learn some things about their world.

And learn she did. She found that the Kalos and Galar regions represented France and Great Britain respectively. Unova seemed to represent more or less the New England area of the US, and her homeland of Japan was split among several regions, including Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. At this point she sighed, marched over to the selves and grabbed another book. As interesting as this is, excess study in Geography won't really do me much good. At least Blaze and I seem to be able to speak Spanish...or rather whatever the Paldea would call it. She mused sternly.

The Dutch girl ended up reading the entire day, however, and she closed her eyes as she closed the book and headed over to the Canteen, surprised at how much time had passed.

Hanoashi waited with her arm's crossed as she watched the egg begin to Hatch.

"So this is what a Weedle egg looks like?" Rikona asked, watching from the bed.

"Seems that way," Hanoashi mused quietly as she could see the horn begin to emerge.

The Irish-Dutch girl was glad that she had recovered enough that her cousin could join her, albeit she still was probably a few days from a full discharge. It had taken her two weeks to get to this point, but her lungs had more or less made a full recovery so to speak.

The shield lowered and the caterpillar gazed around. Hanoashi experimentally extended her shoulder toward the bug, and after a bit he climbed on, nestling on her shoulder.

"He's cute," Rikona whispered.

"You'll have to introduce me to Yuzu," Hanoashi laughed. "You keep going on and on about how good she is."

"Think she'll get along with Wasp?" Rikona asked, her voice growing a bit worried.

"We get along well," Hanoashi smirked.

"Fair point, but Wasp and Yuzu aren't necessarily us," Rikona mused. "You remember when we met?" she added softly.

Hanoashi nodded, memories of the three months she spend with Rikona while her father recovered. "Even though it was filled with grief over mom dying, we had good times," she chuckled.

"True, remember when we speed ran that 2K puzzle?" Rikona laughed.

"Yep! I think we were surprised when he got it in thirty minuets," she chuckled. "Come on, let's go visit that..."

"Hanoashi, Rikona, you're needed in the office. Apparently the government has decided to allow you to join Paldea society under certain conditions," a nurse called in.

"Right, Hanoashi smiled, hiding her nerves as she recalled Wasp and placed his Pokeball in the sack which had been gifted to her a few days ago.

"Are you handling things alright?" Rikona asked quietly as they walked together.

Hanoashi nodded. "I'm still struggling a bit to be honest," she sighed. "Rikona...listen," she paused, gazing at her intently. "I...I enjoyed it when he was touching me." she confessed hesitantly.

"That can happen," Rikona sighed.

"I mean I didn't appreciate it being done by a stranger mind you, nor that he kept us captive, but I had honestly fantasized about Yukaro doing something similar to me to be honest. Not the captive or being tied up part, but...well...he did it to you as well," Hanoashi whispered.

"Knowing Yukaro he'd probably start flinching the moment he began touching you, if you could even get him to try it in the first place," Rikona reminded her. "You know he's quite the prude when it comes to physical contact."

"Yeah...Anyways let's head to the office," Hanoashi stammered somberly.

"Alright then," Rikona nodded, leading her cousin to the office.

Sitting down the two gazed evenly at the officer at the opposite end of the desk. "Alright...so here's the deal. You'll be allowed to join our society, but you'll be attending Uva academy. You must preform well in the academy in order to fully integrate, and you don't want to fail. Furthermore, you'll be paying for the tuition, room and board, and your medical bills starting six months after you graduate. If you manage to be able to pay for it all at once or want to pay off a lump sum once you graduate, you may."

"Alright , we can accept those terms," Hanoashi smiled.

"Fine by me," Rikona nodded in approval.

"Excellent, you'll head out to Uva Academy first thing tomorrow," the officer smiled. "You both may leave," he added.

Hanoashi took a deep breath as she exited the room,Rikona sighing in relief. "Looks like we'll be accepted in the legal sense at least," she breathed.

"Yeah, but we'll have to work extra hard in order to make it into society," Rikona added, before smirking at her. "You won't have any issues with that now will you Blaze?"

Her dark green eyes gave Rikona the look. "Yeah, father really taught me the work ethic well, as all of us Katoni were taught. And you Matsumino had it ingrained in you as well," she deadpanned.

Rikona shrugged. "Well, I guess, still the Katoni are harder workers in my opinion. Us Matsumino...sure we worked charity from time to time, but we were more likely to just throw money at an issue rather than lift our hands."

"Oh? And those four disaster clean-ups you volunteered for the past two years weren't hard work?" Hanoashi retorted.

"You've done nine," Rikona reminded her. "All while commanding the Nishmari Sensado Team might I add. Not to mention all the times you were hired to help with fence mending, home repair, and the times Kelly and her father hired you as a temp worker with their Computer repair and rebuild shop."

"Meh, I enjoyed the work," Hanoashi shrugged. "Besides, you know how father wanted me to work in order to earn my stuff, and he was right, with him unable to work for a living and limited funds..."

"Respectable," Rikona sighed. "Believe me, living the high life is frustrating. Expectantly when your rich friends are so Maus dammed spoiled and entitled."

"You're not like that," Hanoashi smiled quietly.

"No...but it could have been that way if mom hadn't make sure to give me proper discipline,"Rikona sighed, before giggling. "That's one thing I love about hanging out with you Blaze, you're a breath of fresh air compared to some of my other friends and relatives."

Hanoashi gave another quiet smile. "As upset as I was about not being able to join you in Matsumino manners due to Mom being disowned, a part of me is glad that I never had to deal with the temptations of being a part of a notable family."

"Yeah, it's annoying to a lot of us Matsumino. Everyone wanted to give us undue breaks and unfair advantages. Ticks me off." Rikona muttered.

Arriving in the garden, the two let out their Pokemon. Wasp glanced at Yuzu and walked up slowly, the two gazing at each other, before glancing back at their Trainers.

"Go play you two," Rikona laughed as Hanoashi nodded.

Wasp and Yuzu began crawling around laughing as they enjoyed each other's company. "See, they get along great," Hanoashi smirked.

Rikona smiled in return. "You were right," she admitted. "Still, I hope they let us room together, it'd be fun!"

"I have a gut feeling that they will, we are girls after all, and cousins at that. Plus it'd save us money," Hanoashi shrugged.

"Maybe, but at least we'll be closer to each other," Rikona smiled.

"Yeah, and who knows, even if we don't have the same dorm room we'll be at the same school, and even perhaps in a class or two together," Hanoashi smiled.

"As long as we have each other, we'll be alright cousin," Rikona smiled.

"And them," Hanoashi gazed at their Pokemon, laughing as they entered a game of tag.

"Right," Rikona chuckled.
