FA/N: If you want to know what the 'more realistic' Pokémon in Truth and Lies look like, a good place to start would be Joshua Dunlop's art. You can find it at "joshuadunlop (d0t) art stat ion (d0t) c0m." ... Ffnet is getting more annoying with their filters. He's done most of the first 151, and a couple extras (Espeon and Umbreon come to mind), plus his art is amazing in general. Worth a look.

Finally, if you like this story or any of my other stories, please consider supporting me on SUB SCRIBE STAR dot ADULT slash KajaWilder. I can only continue my current (or faster) pace of updates if I can pay my bills. I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely getting closer. If you think about how much enjoyment you get out of a movie- about two hours worth of fun- for $10-20- you are getting far greater value by supporting a writer like myself. If even one in twenty people that read this supported me on Sub Star at any level, I would be able to easily continue focusing on writing more... and you could read more. I'm going to keep writing anyway. But the pace would be and will be a lot faster if you can spare a few dollars monthly. My lowest tier isn't even a small drink at a theater, any more. Is it worth it? Is it worth it to you? If so, then please support me.
Of course, you can ALSO find more of the same stories there. I post everything on this site at least a week after it's posted on , so if you want more and don't want to wait, well... there you go.
That's enough out of me, though. Enjoy!

And Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate, or don't, this time of year)! :)


Chapter 15: Open / Secrets

Alex woke to pain. Or at least, he had expected to. Echoes of it still lingered, leaving him stiff and tense, or at least tender, almost everywhere.

But the bruises, lacerations, and punctures were gone, he could see, the moment he lifted the bedcovers.

A glance to his left, just a few degrees, followed the bare skin of Elle's back as her spine curved and twisted from where her head rested on his chest down to her pert, firm rear. Damn, girl... Blemish free, pale, covered only by his other arm as it draped loosely over her waist. Is she asleep? I wonder if I can-

Nope.

He froze as her slender fingers closed around his morning wood and gave it a little tug. "Awake already?" she asked, nearly whispering, "I was hoping to play with your cock a bit."

He surprised himself by answering, "I'm not stopping you."

At once, she squirmed around onto her stomach, her breasts pressing and swelling against the silk sheets of the PMC's well-appointed room, and her feet kicked up into the air as she looked at him with a wide, beaming smile, "You mean it? You'll... let me?"

Alex groaned quietly, but nodded, "You... you seem pretty determined, and I'm tired of fighting you. Fucking tease... besides, what Maline said was right. You're legally an adult, just like that... what was he, fourteen? The kid that uh, started the chain."

"Arceus, there must've been so much cum in that Joy after they all had their way with her," Elle giggled, her fingers still squeezing him firmly. "But there's a few younger than him too. One couple had a twelve year old, I think. Cute kid... I doubt her mom and dad expected all of this, but it's too late to back out now. Unless she wants to."

"She's apparently old enough to make her own decisions, according to the law," Alex said with a frown. He wasn't exactly comfortable with it, but Game Freak had the law on their side, even over custody of what would otherwise be a minor in this case. It was one of the biggest problems with the Mega-Cities. Corporations, especially big ones, were the law.

They wrote the laws to benefit themselves, they were enforced to benefit themselves. Capitalism, for all its benefits, did not make for great government.

"Besides," he sighed as he lifted his head to put both hands behind it, giving him a better view of the curve of Elle's body, and her hand as it began to explore him in earnest, "both you and Maline made it clear we can do whatever we want, no, uh, consequences, in the game. You clearly want to, and..."

"And you want to as well," Elle finished with a smile, glancing back up at him before turning her attention back to his genitals.

She poked and prodded, caressed and moved his erection and scrotum for at least twenty minutes with just her left hand, then finally threw the blankets off of them completely and shifted up to straddle his knees, then leaned in to wrap both hands around him. "What're- what're you-"

"Jerking you off, duh," she interrupted with a giggle, "How's this any different from last night, except we don't hurt as much?"

"W- Well..."

Both hands started twisting and pumping slowly, Alex groaned as he let his eyes rove the girl's body from her heart-shaped face to her small, upturned breasts, and the spread-open folds of her sex, just visible beyond where her hands stroked him. "You're... beautiful," he admitted, "and I'm not just saying that because... you're doing that."

"Thanks," Elle said quietly, "You're sexy too, you know. When... when I saw you in the PMC in Pallet, I knew I was gonna want this, you know. I sat down with you that day... wanting to fuck you."

He blushed, but Alex could only admit, "I, uh, was thinking that, too. It wasn't... the first thing..."

"But early?"

He nodded.

"How long," she asked with a mischievous grin growing, her pumps accelerating, growing more eager.

"Uh... about... s-second."

"Sweet," she giggled, "and how many times a day do you think of fucking this tight pussy, Alex?"

He groaned again, louder, and gave an involuntary shake of his hips, thrusting up into her hands. She smiled wider still. "God damn it, Elle..."

"Answer," she said, stopping at once, even pulling her hands away, "Or I'm done."

"F-fuck! I don't know- a lot, okay? Like... like all the time."

She started stroking again at once, but only with one hand now, faster and longer motions as she slithered up him, dragging one breast along his stomach to press a kiss against his stubbly jaw, "Too bad you can't... yet. Want to... adjust our deal?"

"Gods, yes," he muttered, "so much!"

"Okay. Go ahead and cum... whenever you want. I want to taste it, Alex."

He was loving it, but the young man wasn't ready for that, not yet. "Sex... now?"

"No," she chuckled, "That part's staying, but let's make it... after we both have one Gym Badge, from any Gym. Is that fair?"
"S- Sure," he moaned. It was what they were going for with Nadine Minier anyway, they had just expected her to be... well, beatable, not so damned tough.

"And I'll... blow you... hmm... once a week, and you'll go down on me once a week, on request. Fair, right? I can't think of a good condition to start that, though. I want to, but... we have to motivate ourselves, or we'd spend all our time doing that. At least, I would."

"Fuck, I would too," Alex admitted, "and I'm sure some playtesters are doing that. Just once a week?"

"To start," she clarified.

"Uh... what... what about when we next catch a new Pokémon?"

"Too soon, too easy," she whispered, kissing his jaw again but lower, closer to his neck, which made Alex shiver. "It should take a week, at least. Or be a challenge."

"Hmm..."

"What about," she murmured, now sliding one of her slender thighs up his thicker one to nestle against his scrotum. It burned with heat in contrast to her cool fingers, but not nearly as much as the side of his hip as she ground her pussy against him, leaving a smear of juice he could smell from there, "what about... when we reach Level ten? Us, not our Pokémon."

"Ugh... how... what level are...?"

"You're eight, I'm seven... but I'll probably be eight if I look again after this," she cooed softly, "This is... hot. Your face is funny as you get close to finishing. Cute, though."

He grunted... she was right, he was definitely getting close. "A few... okay, that's f-fair.. fuck..."

"Soon enough," she chuckled again, "But cum for me, Alex... cum on my hands, I want to feel it, I want to see it, I want to t-"

That was enough, her urging and long hand-job made him groan again as he began thrusting faster into her hands, and spilled over the edge into ecstasy.

It wasn't nearly good enough to white out of course, but even while he was still dribbling out the last few spurts, Elle tugged out the remnants and then brought her hand to her mouth and licked it clean while staring up his body, still humping his leg herself. Her eyes fluttered as she tasted him, and he watched the girl bite the soft flesh between thumb and finger as she climaxed too, then immediately went back to licking her hand clean, uncaring of the welts her teeth had left. After that, she licked his stomach and chest clean too, but didn't touch his cock with her mouth. It only grazed her cheek once as she lapped at the last little bits, then stood up and patted his slowly-softening self. "Go shower, stud... no oral today. I'll go after, so hurry. I want to get back to training and catching Pokémon."

"You are amazing," he murmured, "Are... do you want me to...?"

"Nah, I'm good," the girl said, sounding quite chipper, "Arceus, I came really fast, you know? That was sexy as hell. I can't wait to do more!"


When Alex stepped into the room again, Elle handed him his packed-up belt of Pokémon, then turned her attention back to the projection from her 'Gear. "Look, this is my Prowess history from the last few days. Here- my first masturbation. Apparently partials don't count except for losing virginity, so me giving you a few tugs is nothing, but the shower last night counted for both of us. Bunch of points for that, and we got an additional few this morning. One for the first masturbation in a day, it only gives each reward once per day with the same person. But if you get someone else to jack you off, that counts. I think you can even do it yourself once, and get points."

"This is super weird to talk about, but okay," Alex said as he tossed his towel into the hamper and sat next to her, half paying attention as he pulled on socks and shoes.

"Meh, it's just sex," she laughed, "but anyway, so... doing something more than once per day is 'minus one point' per time. So that's why jacking off only gets you at most three points a day. Two for the first one- you get one point by default for doing something sexual, and even flashing counts, or thinking really pervy thoughts I guess- and then one for the handjob itself. But the second time, since you've already done it, it's minus one point. Oral is two points plus one for the sex activity, so you can do that three times and it will still give you something. Sex is three plus, and so on."

"Okay."

"There's lots of modifiers, too, but the game doesn't list them all, just a bunch of examples. Says there's 'literally thousands'. First time for everything is bonus points, that's a big one it noted."

"So... we're encouraged to... experiment?"

"Yep. So once we do the blowjobs and fucking thing, we need to work out a motivation test for anal, for example."

"Gods... you are such a pervert," he laughed, even as he realized one key thing: He wasn't shy about discussing this with Elle, not anymore, nor was he reluctant due to her age. They had... things had changed. The night before even, well, two nights before, he had been hesitant to even get her off in the shower when she was begging. Now she had dry-humped him while giving him a hand-job, and they were openly discussing the points it gave them. It was unreal in some ways, but in others, natural.

He wanted it to stay that way.

He wanted her... it was natural. And that was okay. Alex finished tying his shoes then settled in, wrapping an arm around her slim waist and tugging her against him. She sighed and relaxed into him, nuzzling a little before continuing her explanation.

"Some other examples: You get bonus points for having sex with a party member, either an NPC or player, but that has diminishing returns per person. So like, one bonus point the first time we have sex, and so on, and that'll stay but only for a while. If we get another party member, you'll get a point for them, and it'll stay for a while, then go away- and I can get a bonus point from them too. Just as an example."

"You'd... you'd do that?"

She shrugged beneath his arm, "Maybe. I mean, I like looking at people, too, you know. I'm not a slut, but I think it'd be fun with other people. Don't you? You seemed to like Joy a lot."

"W- well, yeah, but she's a..."

"NPC?"

"Human enough."

He had to agree, she was human enough, even if her eyes and skin were just a little different from 'normal'. "Point... so... "

"We can talk more about that on the road. I think there are cameras in the rooms."

"What?"

She shrugged again, "Don't worry about it. Game Freak watches everything we do anyway, remember? That's what the AI does. We're always on camera. But this room feels like we're being watched."

"Is... so when did you notice? Is that..."

"Why I did the thing this morning?"

He nodded.

"No, I did that because I want to. I... maybe I enjoyed it a bit more because of it, though."

"So... you like to be watched?"

At that, Elle twisted to look up at him, blushing but grinning, "And watching."

"Pervert."

"Yep. So... Inter-party- finding someone from another party and seducing them- gets you a point. Someone without a party doesn't do that. Like if you'd fucked that slut from the other day, before the Gym, that wouldn't have done that. You'd get points for first time with a new person, and vaginal I guess, but not the point for inter-party."

"That makes sense. And I wasn't going to."

"I know. I... I don't know why, it was just her... I don't know. Something about her set me off. Joy I wanted you to fuck. Hell, even Nadine would be awesome. But that cunt... nah."

Internally, Alex wondered if it was the similarity between their figures that had set off Elle's jealousy. The Lass- whatever her name was- had looked very much like Elle from the neck down. He didn't dare bring it up though, not yet. Maybe after- if- they had become even more closer and more comfortable with the topics of sex.

"Anyway, an enemy is another point. It doesn't define what an enemy is, but seducing someone who is antagonistic counts as an enemy I guess, and maybe you'd get the point for other parties, too. I don't know. If I give you a hand-job once a day, we both get another point the second time, and the third time, and so on."

"Like... the third time, if you did it three days in a row, it'd be, what... four points? Six on the fourth?"

"No, just one additional each time within the week, and I think it keeps track of only the rolling seven days, so it's mostly just one more point per day. Why, are you looking forward to another one tomorrow?"

"Shit... I wouldn't say no," he admitted, blushing himself as she reached down with the hand not bearing her 'Gear on the wrist to pat his groin lightly.

"I'll think about it- I want our Prowess to grow too, you know. But maybe it'll be you doing it to me tomorrow... that's fair, right?"

"Urk..."

She giggled again. "And if you do it with more than one partner in a week, it's two points more. Each. Still not cumulative, so being a whore and fucking ten girls in a week won't give you a thousand points, but each of them past the first is two, so that's another bonus eight in addition to the daily sex points."

"And presumably the first times with a person, any inter- or intra-party sex, and so on?"
"Exactly, yeah. Like I said, the list isn't everything, but there were more than a hundred examples, so I believe the thousands. Two others stood out as I skimmed through, though. Yes, you do get bonus points for fucking Pokémon, too. They count, but slightly differently, and their Prowess raises in mostly the same way, but they level faster, so to speak. Lower thresholds for the level, I think. Uh... Gobbler and you both get four points for her blowjobs every day. If she did it twice in a day you'd get three each, and so on."

"Uh... okay."

"Because you're going to get one of them from her today, we can see if she counts toward the 'different partners' thing, but here's how that breaks down: Two for the blow-job itself, plus one for your 'first sex of the day', and plus one for the intra-party, because she's my Pokémon, pleasuring you. Right?"

He nodded, "So same with Lingus licking your- you? And when she tongue, uh, jobbed me, it was one less point?"

Elle nodded, "I think that's to help balance out so people don't just catch one Pokémon they enjoy and fuck constantly, too."

"Right. Makes sense. Still super weird to think about..."

"But you like it, right?"

He sighed at the honest question, "Well... yeah. I mean... Gobbler's... nice. Her acid or whatever, the saliva, is... makes me tingly, almost, and her body is just like a mouth, only deeper. Lingus' tongue... well... you know what it can do."

"That, uh... guy liked the Rattatta, too."

Alex frowned at the mention of the man he was pretty sure he'd killed by beating him senseless, disarming him, tying him to a tree, and then leaving to be devoured by wild Pokémon. The one person Maline Greengrass had mentioned having left the test forever, after all...

"Last thing: I want to get the points. I want to get better at fighting. I want to get better at s- sex stuff. I want my Prowess to go up fast, and my Battle Rank to go up fast. You do too, right?"

With a little hesitation, Alex nodded, "Yeah, I- of course."

Elle pulled out of his arm and turned to face him, hiking one shorts-clad leg up onto the bed at an angle and looked him in the eye seriously, "We're going to have to do more sex stuff then. Are you okay with that? I... I'm not ready to fuck. Not yet. I want to blow you, I really do, but... I'm not ready to have you go down on me, and that's not fair, so... we should wait. I want to stick with the things we talked about for... permissions. Like... unlocking those activities in a game."

He swallowed, feeling his face heat to match the younger girl's, but found himself replying quite honestly, "I agree, that's... probably for the best. I want to... gods, if there's a hell I'm headed there when I die, but yes, I do."

"So- if we're in the mood, then we should ask the other person. If you get horny, ask me to jack you off, or get Gobbler, or one of our Pokémon to fuck. I'll do the same."

He snorted, "One problem with that- I'm always horny lately."

"Extra horny then," she giggled, giving his chest a little shove that barely moved him, "but no more hesitating, no more being shy. I want you to listen, okay? I want to fuck you. I want to blow you, and have you go down on me. I like watching you cum. If you want to get off, tell me. I'll do the same. Promise me."

"Er..."

What could he say to that? Of course he wanted to, and he wasn't lying about it being all the time, too. And he'd already admitted he was going to hell but that he felt the same. There was, in the end, little choice. "I promise. And I want you to jack me off right now. I want to fuck really, but..."

"It'll have to wait a little," she giggled, "we have to check out soon anyway, and I do want to get out there. Come on, I'm being serious."
"I was, too," he muttered, but let her continue.
"I want to fuck... others. But you get to have me first. If that's okay."

If Alex hadn't been sitting, he would've fallen over from surprise. Whether that was her open admission of wanting to have sex with other people despite protesting against being a slut, or wanting him to be her first or both, he couldn't have said. "I... you know I'm... not a virgin, right?"

Elle shrugged, "I don't care, and of course. You fucked Joy, duh. We don't have to equal in all things, dummy. I'm just saying... I liked what you did in the shower, too. If I get you off with my hand, I'll want you to get me off too. More or less equally. But I did cum this morning, so don't worry about that. Times like that, it's still 'fair'. But... sometimes, I look at other people and want them too. I know you do, so it's still fair, right?"

This time, Alex forced himself to actually consider what the girl was saying. It was strange, confusing, maddening trying to sort out his own feelings on the matter, and eventually he gave up. "I... I don't know what to think about that, Elle. I... I mean, I don't control you. You aren't my slave."

"Unless I want to be for a while?"

He snorted, "I guess... pervert."

She grinned across at him, but quickly resumed her neutral expression, "I'm going to start... practicing at night, on the Nurse Joys."

He swallowed as not just imagined scenes of that very thing played through his mind in rapid-fire clips, but also both Joy and Elle on him together, kissing as he tongued one and rammed the other, or...

"And he calls me a pervert," Elle teased, this time rubbing her hand under his scrotum through the jeans as he came back to reality, "But yes, I... want to try with girls. And guys. Once I... once I start blowing you, I'm afraid I won't want to stop. I'll want more... practice. I might start jacking guys off, too, if... you don't mind."

"You're already pretty good at it," he told her, then swallowed again as more images began to play in his mind's eye. "I... I don't think I'd mind that. I... I might not want to hear about it."

"Do you want to see it?"

He swallowed again at her carefully neutral question. "I... maybe. Look, uh... can we just say that... if you want to try it, I'll... see about sticking around, and if it bothers me I'll leave? And... and you can try telling me about it, or... no, don't. If I ask, then you can?"

"Sure," Elle said at once, "That's easy enough. I know not everyone likes what I do. There's just something about knowing someone else is seeing me do something like that... I don't know, it makes me hot as all get-out."

"Every time I think you're a kid, you use some old-fashioned phrase like that," Alex said, rolling his eyes, "Are you secretly a hundred?"

"Ass," Elle chuckled, shoving him again with the same hand that had still been fondling him lightly, "So... you're okay with that? I'm totally okay with you being with others. I, well... if you don't mind, sometimes I'd like to... watch. Secretly of course, unless they want to as well."

"Okay."

"That's it? Just okay?"

He shrugged, "I mean, I agree. I... I think it's kinky, and kinda hot, but I don't get- well, get off on being watched. I don't think. But you're welcome to, I guess."

Elle frowned, but accepted her point, which was convenient given that she'd just stated she knew not everyone was like her in that very way. "And... uh... there's one... one more... uh... thing."

"Okay, go ahead."

Her mouth opened and closed a few times, but as her face deepened from its normal lightly-freckled, pale complexion far past red and into purple, she clammed up and then murmured through half-clenched teeth, "But I'll, uh... talk about that later. On the road."

"Oh..ka- oh. The cameras. Yeah. Okay. Let's go, then, I'm hungry anyway."


Northeast of Viridian City's outer limits, a ring of tall hills limited the window blowing into a dry forest landscape on the east side, and the broad valley that was mostly filled with the city they had just left on the southern half, and more forest and rolling grasslands to the north. A wide road continued, stretching ribbon-like from the northern streets of Viridian City to converge and snake between the smaller hills toward what their maps indicated was Pewter City, but neither Elle nor Alex were ready for that journey yet.

Instead, trailed by their starters and both Gobbler and Lingus, the two had taken a taxi to the edge of the city, then hiked out across miles of farmland and then up into the hills, past ranches of Tauros and Miltank, Mareep and other easily-domesticated Pokémon, eventually finding themselves surrounded by a spectacular view on all sides. The dry forests were mostly still deciduous trees, Elle thought, growing thick despite the lack of storm-rain the sheltering hills probably provided, thanks to runoff or groundwater from the extremely high mountain range that stretched across the entire northern horizon and then some, crowned by several large mountains. They were still miles and miles away, but seemed to reach up into the sky in several places. To the south, a massive bridge rose from a bay that was longer than it was wide by several times and stretched from south of where they stood to the east along a diagonal path, lined with beach-towns and small ports, but just as far from them as the mountains. None, she suspected, were large enough to support a Gym like the one in Viridian, though she knew as well thanks to Maline's hints on the trip to the real world that other, smaller Gyms had valid Badges as well. But she wanted the official ones, the big ones. At least a few, to make up for her crushing defeat at the Underground.

Thinking about that moment, when her life had been on the line, her Pokémon's lives, Alex's life... she felt her heart beat faster.

Fear rushed through her.

And... "Arecus, I'm horny," she whispered, then reached for her shorts and unsnapped them.

"What's that?" her companion asked, still gazing to the north, no doubt trying to decide how they would proceed. Pewter, at this point, seemed a given, but there were many routes. The easiest and most traveled would be the road, but that would get them their safer and quicker... and weaker.

"I said I'm horny," she repeated, "I want you to get me off."

"Okay, I- wait... what?"

Alex turned to look at her aghast, then blushed as he realized she was stepping out of shorts and panties both. He stared while she looked up at him, watching, as she sank to the grass and put a hand between her legs. "I... want... you... to... get... me... off. Use your fingers."

"I... Okay."

She blinked, having expected more resistance. But this, this new Alex, after their mutual loss to Nadine, was... better. She smiled, spreading her legs and beckoning him downward, "I want you to kneel over me, like we're going to fuck... and put your fingers on my cunt. Maybe put one in a little at the end... like in the shower. That felt so good."

He grinned, remembering how she'd let him fuck his last few seconds before climax into her hands, too, after actively jerking him off the first time.

"You're already wet," he murmured, and she shivered as one of his big, calloused hands fell onto her twat.

"Told you I was horny," she whispered, "come on... oh... oh yeah..."

She didn't watch him do it, not really. Instead, her eyes were mostly closed as she imagined his shadow over her, moving within her, sliding his big, fat cock in and out, and making her beg for him to go faster, harder... when her eyes were open, she stared at him there, at the tight bulge in his own jeans, blue to her white. He must be so excited, too... "Wait."

He froze, two fingers surrounding her clit, but she didn't make him wait long, "No, not you, me. You keep going."

He grinned, but watched as she pointed at their frolicking Pokémon, "Gobbler... come suck him."

This time, Alex didn't even begin to protest. In fact, the thought probably never crossed his mind, for one hand kept working her, exploring her tender folds much as she'd done to him this morning, while the other quickly unsnapped his pants and pushed them down, boxers and all.

The Bellsprout even helped, reaching up with its pink 'lips' to tug them down a bit more, then leaning in and stepping forward at once to engulf its favorite meal.

"Oh, yeah," Alex sighed, finally letting himself truly enjoy the sensations the Pokémon gave him. Elle grinned, glad she could do that for him, even as watching the green and yellow body suck off her man made her want to do it even more herself. He wasn't even shy about being with her, for Alex opened his eyes again soon after to look into her own while he continued working on her, letting Gobbler take care of him like she was best at.

"When you cum, I'll cum," she told him. If I can last that long. It was too much already, she knew. Somehow, likely before they'd met, Alex had had a lot of practice with getting a woman off. Some, at least, for he was very good at it, new just how to touch her, just how much pressure to apply and where, when.

"Deal," he said back softly, and moved from caressing her folds to diddling her with that very intention. The sensations were already driving her wild, as was watching her Pokémon mouth him, swallowing him whole. She was very grateful the Grass-type had gotten bigger, for there was no way she could swallow him all after first being caught. Now Gobbler deep-throated him easily, living up to her name and her Prowess Technique.

Her pleasure mounted again and again over the next few minutes, so Elle eventually hiked up her tank-top over her breasts to give him a better show, and pinched one nipple. It felt so good... but she regretted it, for it made her orgasm closer, and she doubted he was...

The thought of her man filling her Pokémon with his fluid once more did it, and she squirmed, bucking against his fingers just as he, almost as an afterthought, pushed his pinky in all the way.

She moaned and gasped, and he kept going throughout, faster even, until her climax was spent, then finally released his own load with a contented sigh.

Gobbler mewled quietly as his cum jetted into its body, and she watched, fascinated, as it milked him a few more times, then pulled away with a rather loud pop that made Alex jerk again reflexively. She reached out at once, and lifted the creature. It started wiggling to get free, but she sent it a glare, "Share. I only want a little, you have plenty."

Slowly, its squirming quieted then stopped, and the tightly-sealed mouth opened just a little, allowing a single long, thin white drip to fall into Elle's mouth from about twelve inches above it. She closed her own lips, cutting it off after a few inches, and at once the body of the Bellsprout expanded, sucking the rest back in. It started squirming again, so Elle let it fall roots-first, where it immediately began to root.

"I guess we're camping here," Alex noted, then asked a bit more quietly, "Uh... is it really that... good?"

Still with his semen in her mouth, Elle opened it to show him, then swallowed at his dumbfounded expression, "Meh. It's alright. Salty, a bit bitter. It's... more the idea, than the flavor. I do like it, though, tastes almost like crackers, but moist. Sticky."

"I gotta say, I like your ideas," he chuckled, flopping to lean back on his bag and arms, staring at her still. "Also, you're very sexy."

"Thanks," Elle said, feeling her body head as she realized she was still showing him everything, but then deciding she didn't care. He'd just fingered her to orgasm, she didn't care about him seeing her nude anyway. Let him look. "I think this is a great spot to camp, and we can go exploring. I smell sulfur."

"Sulfur?" Alex gave a long sniff, making her giggle as his deep brown eyes widened. "I do, too. It's faint, but..."

"Hot springs?"

"Maybe. Huh... wouldn't surprise me, really, but the hills are a bit low for it."

"But the mountains aren't that far, and they're big."

"True. So... uh..."

"Yes, that was great, and yes, I'm going to keep asking," Elle reassured him, "I have faith in you. And, um... while we set up camp..."

"Oh. Going to tell me what's been eating at you?"

She nodded as she levered to her knees and pulled her shorts up again, "I want to fuck Pokémon too."

He blinked, following suit, then nodded. "Okay."

Her look must have been quite incredulous, for her companion snorted in amusement, "What? We know it's a thing, I don't... care."

"R- Really?"

He shrugged, pointing down at Gobbler, who squirmed contentedly as she digested her meal. "That's basically what I've been doing, right? It's maybe oral- at least for me- but I get the distinct impression that Gobbler is, well, doing more. And that guy with the Rattatta... it wasn't just oral. I... we know other people are doing it. Maline encouraged it. I don't care."

"That... you know that's like, bestiality or something, right?"

He shrugged again, which did nothing for her nerves about the whole conversation, but was a very Alex gesture all the same. "Look, Elle, I don't care. Not at all. I think... it bothers me less that you'd want to have sex with the Pokémon than with other people, and that... doesn't... really bother me. I keep thinking it should, but it doesn't, not yet anyway. Maybe when it happens I'll be jealous, but it's... still your right to choose what you do. Just... know that I might, too. I mean, there aren't that many that interest me, but..."

Elle gestured back toward the now-distant ranches as she reached for her tent and unsnapped it from the bottom of her pack, "Like those Mareep?"

"No," he laughed, "Sheep-fucking isn't my thing, thanks, I'm not a country hick. But... there've been a few I imagined through the years. Uh... older generations not so much, though."

"Interesting... well, I like a lot of them, to be honest," Elle said, deciding it wasn't worth worrying about if he really didn't care. "Tentacool or Tentacruel, if it doesn't hurt. It might, and then I don't wanna. Tangela, and Shuckle, and..."

"Tenatcles, then? Kinky slut."

She slapped his arm for the comment- more the second one- but didn't protest. Instead, she felt herself blush again as they kept working. "Hmm... there's just a lot of possibilities there, you know? I have some ideas that might... blow your mind, and your load, if you're up for trying."

He blinked, looking over his unrolled tent. "Huh?"

"Oh... let's just say I have ideas and leave it at that. Once Gobbler evolves."

He snickered, "I don't think daily blowjobs will do that."

"She fights too," Elle reminded him.

"Also true..."

Two hours later, his starter and their somewhat-trained Bugs were left to guard the camp along with Gobbler, who had stopped squirming, apparently asleep. After they finished lunch the pair were following their noses down into the winding valleys when they saw it. There was, indeed, a hot-spring, but too small for them to dip more than their ankles in. But it edged a cave, from which a thin trail of gray-yellow smoke rose, occasionally belching thicker black. The mouth at least was large, high enough the smoke-stream was well overhead and perhaps twenty feet across, so Alex pronounced, "Seems safe enough, but if we start coughing or smelling lots of rotten eggs, we should leave."

"Already stinks," she reminded him, glad she'd already thought of tying a shirt around her nose and mouth like a bandanna. It wasn't perfect, but it helped, at least a little.

It took another twenty minutes, but both soon had a pair of Zubats to their growing collection, though neither added them to their combat teams. Even many generations after first being introduced, neither could think of a Trainer who actually liked the ubiquitous pests unless they were Poison-users, or liked speed more than anything else.

More interesting by far, the pair found a few other Pokémon lounging around a large cavern that, yes, did contain a boiling-hot spring of water. Its fluid was lined in bright, turquoise blue and yellow, which told both humans it would probably be far too dangerous to try getting in, but the Fire-type Pokémon that lazed about both in and out of the pool didn't seem to mind at all, though they were strictly around the edges. Who knew how deep it was, really?

"Fire-types," Elle exhaled, bringing up her Pokédex alongside her partner. "Ponyta, Growlithe... and there's a few evolved ones, too."

"I doubt we can catch any of those without at least Great Balls," Alex whispered as he nudged her behind him a bit when one of the massive Arcanine lifted a head from its paws to look their way, "And the lowest level I see on the big ones is forty."

"Shit," she whimpered, "That'd crush both our teams at once."

"Probably... the others are easier, though. Uh... do we have to fight?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well... Pokémon like to... be with Trainers, right? Maybe we can, I don't know, ask."

Elle frowned, "I... I don't know. Sounds risky. They don't exactly speak English."

"No... but Loki understands you really well, and Cock seems to understand me, so... maybe they can translate?"

Elle looked over his shoulder at the shimmering cloud he'd started to notice more often, and asked mentally, "Well, Loki? Want to ask some of them if they'd like to come with us? Join a Trainer?"

She watched as her Ghastly nodded, its jagged mouth twisting into a grin, then zip around the corner. "He's going to ask."

There was an angry roar a few seconds later, which made both jump. "Aww, shit..."

Both ran, the walls behind them lit with an angry red glow- one that seemed to be gaining on them with every step.

They split up at the cave's entrance, Elle on the left and Alex on the right, as first an entire herd of twenty or more Ponyta and a few Rapidash tore past them, close enough to blister Alex' face. A moment after, three Arcanine, including the largest of all the Pokémon from the cave, skidded to a halt, their keen noses not so easily fooled, then stepped cautiously outward, spreading around them, two toward Elle herself, and the larger toward Alex.

All three of them were growling, teeth bared, as steaming-hot saliva dribbled from their jowls. "Fuck," she exhaled quietly.

More padding feet followed as the slower Growlithe, more than fifteen, caught up, and the Rapidash and Ponyta began to circle back around.

"Uh... maybe talking was a bad idea," Alex admitted, "So... Water-types? I have Ground, too, some..."

"I don't think it'll matter against this many," she whimpered, but reached for Squirt's ball all the same, releasing the Horsea to hover in the air between them.

It cowered, just like Elle herself.

The Arcanine, both of them facing her, snorted gruffly, only pausing their advance for a moment as one shifted its yellow, coal-like eyes to her Pokémon instead. Then the fire-horses were there, too, and more than sixty Pokémon known for ferocity and power surrounded them against the steep hillside.

"Maybe..."

She knew it was a gamble.

But if they were going to die... "Squirt... Water Gun on that Growlithe on the far left."

The Pokémon whimpered, and she heard Alex cry, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

But it obeyed, and the jet of water caught the canid Pokémon squarely in the snout. It coughed and sputtered, and the flames that surrounded it dimmed. Not by a small amount, either, as the HP bar her Pokégear showed dropped by more than half. It worked... fuck, it worked, this might just-

Her throw was guided, it seemed, by Arceus itself, for the ball opened directly over the Growlithe. Weakened, it shook for only a moment before clattering to a stop on the mineral-discolored ground.

"Mine," she whispered, and reached for another ball, "And if you know what's good for you, you'll run, because I got enough balls for all of you!"

She was yelling at the end, and to her surprise, it... it... worked. The Arcanine growled at her, then turned tail, all three, fleeing back into the cave. The Growlithe, the entire group, followed after, and the Rapidash, more hesitant, quickly caught up once they started running.

Alex, cheered on and inspired by her own actions, ordered loudly, "Shooter, Water Gun the Ponyta, the big one! Do it again, before it gets away!"

He started moving too, amazing Elle as he moved with the small herd of fleeing Pokémon, then unclipped and threw his own Pokéball after the second blast of water made the Ponyta stagger and stumble.

His throw wasn't as good, she crowed internally as she spun into the cave to watch the action, but he was running... damn, it worked, it worked, it worked!

Both cheered, falling into the others' arms as they laughed, both holding the still-warm balls belonging to their newest captures. "We should probably get out of here," she mumbled into his chest, "In case they figure out I was bluffing."

"Maybe," he chuckled, "Come on."


That night, as the pair were eating dinner, footsteps made them pause, slowly setting their meals aside to reach for their belts, even if most of their Pokémon were playing or eating a few feet away outside their balls.

"We don't mean no trouble," a rustic, tired-sounding man's voice called, "Me'n my kin just saw yer lights, figured you'd want some comp'ny this night. Don't see many in the wilds out here, most take the road to Pewter before headin' south or east."

"We're actually doing that eventually," Elle answered, making Alex wince. It wasn't necessarily good to announce your future plans to total strangers, especially given the risk of being ambushed later. True, this wasn't necessarily that kind of game, but you never know.

"Oh, you're players," a young woman of perhaps twenty, wearing a Pokégear of her own, just like them and the younger and older man both sported as she stepped into the firelight, "Huh. Pretty much everyone else that ran in the same area as us leaving Pallet went north or west. I'm Megumi."

Elle smiled up at the woman, then her aged father and the younger boy who was probably a year or two younger than her. "I'm Elle, this is Alex. Pleased to meet you. Are you from Nippon City?"

"No," the girl said with a grin, gesturing at the older man, "Daddy is, and Mum before she passed, but Kinta and I were both born in Pacific."

"Oh, cool. So... why did you guys come out here, then? We just came to train and catch Pokémon not everyone else has."

"Basically the same," Megumi replied with an easy shrug, "Do you mind if we sit? Daddy's tired, even the Avatar body can't go forever I guess."

The old man snorted, rolling his eyes, "What she won't tell you is Megu's been whining about blisters for four days, and my boy just figured out we can have sex with... well, anything."

The boy blushed, and both Megumi and their father laughed.

Alex let himself relax a little, then gestured, "Pull up some grass, we don't bite. Your company's welcome. I'm Alex, like Elle said. Pleased to meet you all."

They ate their own food, and set out some for their much smaller group of Pokémon, before conversation really struck up again. "So," Megumi asked after a while, sipping on some tea she'd prepared then shared around the whole group, "Why are you guys traveling together? Friends? You don't look like family."

"He's my husbando," Elle said with a giggle, "And I'm his waifu."

Alex shook his head, rolling his eyes at the deliberate prod toward otaku everywhere. Those terms were now so well-known that it seemed everyone in Pacific used them, and almost always as a derogative... unless you were an otaku yourself, which was about half of Pacific's population. "Getting there- slowly. Friends, mostly, we only met on the first full day, but it was in the morning. Been traveling together since."

"Cool," Kinta muttered, speaking for the first time in more than an hour. Between the siblings, he seemed by far the more quiet, and their father, Kensuke, seemed quite content to let his daughter do most of the chatting. "We're family, so..."

"It does make things easier," Megumi admitted, "even if traveling with a dork like my brother is hard. At least dad's chill."

"Chill," Kenta muttered, "he wasn't chill yesterday."

"Yesterday," the old man spoke up sternly, "I walked into our room to find my son balls-deep in his Starter's mouth!"

Kenta turned deep scarlet, and shot an embarrassed, horrified glance at Elle, ignoring Alex completely, before firing back at a shout, "Well, you knew what you signed me up for!"

Before it could escalate into a full-on fight, Megumi, smiling the whole time, ordered her own starter, a very rare Squirtle, to blast both of them with a Water Gun of its own. Both of the males in her family spluttered, but she quickly said, "I'm sorry you had to see them fighting. It's true, however. Both of us... saw it. I hope you don't think he's hopeless, however useless my brother is."

"I don't care," Elle said with a chuckle, "And I know Alex likes Pokémon too."

Megumi's eyes widened, but not as much as her brother's, who gaped open-mouthed at her.

Across the fire, Kensuke's demeanor relaxed a little as he sat back with a sigh, "I knew it would happen. I did not wish to see it. I brought my son into this game hoping he would... step out of his shell."

"He did," Megumi added with a giggle, "and his Bellsprout will never be the same."

Both Elle and Alex shared a glance, somehow having a silent conversation between them. Alex nodded, accepting responsibility for... well, this. For some reason.

For the moment, though, he was saved as Elle told them, "Well, you don't have to worry about judgment from us. Alex is straight- I'm pretty sure, maybe he's bi or something- but he named his starter Cock, and his Lickitung 'Lingus'. My own Bellsprout's name is Gobbler... and he loves it when she gets him off."

"Can we change the topic please?" Kensuke asked, "My son is still only fourteen..."

"Sure," Megumi grinned, "Tell me about yourselves! Where are you from? What do you do outside of the game?"

It was the first time either had really interacted with another player without violence, and both found it a pleasant evening as time wore on. While Kensuke drifted down the hill a ways to set up their own much larger tent with Kinta's help, Megumi stayed behind, as she explained that their family actually worked for the company Alex had already admitted to being the heir of, and had since Kensuke had come to Pacific in the first place as a teenager, before even meeting their mother.

Eventually, the two girls left down the hill to the south to use the stream there to 'bathe' and 'have some girl talk', while Kensuke gave a stern glare to his son, then retired for the night.

Which left Alex, no doubt at Elle's design, free to talk to the young man, who still had barely said more than a few words, and none since his father had announced what he'd been walked in on doing, alone.

"It's okay, you know," he used as an opener, "Elle wasn't lying about me... liking her Bellsprout. Gives a damned good blowjob."

The boy let out a noise that sounded like a gurgle, but said nothing, only blushing once more as he stared into the fire.

"I mean, it was weird at first, like, the first five or six times, but... damn, it's really good, and keeps getting better."

Again, there was no response, though the stare seemed to start shifting more toward glare instead.

"But the Prowess- that seems to directly link toward the skill of a sex act, you know? 'Cause it doesn't have to level up to get better, but every time it does blow me, the Prowess goes up, and then it feels better the next time. Only without levels, you know?"

Kinta looked up, his face twisted into something between a scowl and confusion.

"What, you didn't know? Don't feel bad, it's at the bottom of the stat sheet, and Elle had to show me, too. Look."

He opened up his own 'Gear and twisted the screen so it was more easily read from the other side, "See, here? Cock- damn, I need to change that name- has sex with Lingus on the regular, like nightly. They're sorta the 'pack mom and dad' of our Pokémon, I think. Anyway, so they have pretty high Prowess. Gobbler's is way higher, because they only started- mating- recently, but she's been using Gobbler on me since like, day four I think. And I gotta admit, I came around. I look forward to it- every day."

"So... like... more than... her?"

Aside from yelling, it was more than he'd ever heard Kinta speak at once, so Alex nodded quickly, but took a few moments to compose his response, and opted for honesty. "We haven't actually done oral or had sex yet, she wants to go slow- and she's a bit younger than me, you know? Closer to your age. I... it makes me nervous. But yeah- don't think you have a chance, sorry. She likes- at least I think she likes it- when people look at her like you have been. No, don't be embarrassed, it's fine. I mean, I've been checking your sister out, too. No offense or anything."

The boy shook his head and looked away.

"So... yes, for now, more than her. I... look, maybe I'm not the best person for advice here, I wasn't like, really experienced or anything before the game. Still not, I guess. Been with three people now, one of which was in the game, and Elle who's... well, hands-only so far. So take what I say with a grain of salt, but yeah, Bellsprout are damned good at sucking dick."

The boy across the fire snorted and choked, blushing once more, but nodded.

"So enjoy it, I guess, is what I'm saying. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and Maline Greengrass- you know who she is?"

The boy shook his head, staring at the fire again, but now fiddling with the watch on his arm without opening the window.

"The lady who gave the speech the other day?"

"O- Oh. The Underground lady? We saw your fight. Well, E- her fight. Guys in the stands were saying... no one else came close to what she did to her, and you broke the record for that path time-wise."

That pulled up Alex short. "R- Really?"

Kinta nodded, seeming much more comfortable with this conversation. Or maybe he'd decided he could open up a bit, for he suddenly launched into a brief explanation, "Yeah! People were saying some people have knocked out one of her Pokémon- she's only used her beginner team against any player yet, but never starts with that Onix. It's a beast, that is. Anyway, she likes to toy with people, right? And when Elle killed Nadine's Sandslash... it was brutal, and she was so pissed! But she still followed the rules, even if it sounded like she wasn't gonna. Then she let you guys go after almost killing her Onix, too? Damn... I mean, Elle probably blinded it."

"Huh... I didn't know that. We- mostly she- really did better than anyone else?"

"So far, yeah," Kinta nodded excitedly, "I know some people have badges. Like guilds from some games come in, form a party right off, and all work together to get one person as far as they can, right? Grind twenty-four seven or whatever, since we don't need to sleep I guess. Seems dumb to me, but that first achievement award a few days back probably went to guys like that."

"Probably," Alex acknowledged, "I basically said that to Elle. No other announcements of them, though, but Maline implied there were a few Badges out now."

"A few, you can look it up on the 'net at the PMC's," Kinta told him, "Future patch notes say that sooner or later they'll have that kind of connectivity on these."

"Cool," Alex replied, excited for that himself. He hadn't even known the computers at the PMCs were useful, much less that they had full connectivity. For several minutes, the two chatted about the mechanics of the game and the world, before without warning, the topic shifted once again.

"So like, it's okay to fuck Pokémon? Like... I won't... go to hell or something?"

Alex went quiet and still, but shook his head after a moment, "Look, I don't... believe in the hell most people mean when they say that, so no? I... this is a game. It is like real life, but it isn't real life. It's no worse than watching porn and jacking off, at least to me. Some people say that's bad, but I don't. It's just something people do."

"Except it feels way better."

"That it does," he agreed with the younger man, "and Joy's a great fuck too. Uh... maybe don't try the one in South Viridian. I think she only goes for girls. But the one in Pallet..."

"Wait," Kinta gasped, pointing at him suddenly, "That- that was you! In the video!"

Alex grinned even as he blushed, but nodded, "And I started the gangbang a few days later. They said some kid did, a bit older than you, but not much. I started before him, and finished before he started, but he saw us."

"Sweet," Kinta muttured, "I wish I could get in on that... you think it's better than with Pokémon?"

"About the same I guess," Alex shrugged after thinking about it for a few seconds, "I mean, whatever you're into is what you'll like the most. If you don't know, then... experiment. Prowess goes up faster for trying new things, too. Elle read a lot about that stuff just this morning, I guess there's a big help page or something."

"Oh... wow... I can't believe it's like, a game stat! That's crazy, but so cool!"

"I know," he laughed, "and the way it works is... well, let's just say that if you take it all together, it's obvious they really want us to try out the game, if you know what I mean. So maybe be careful about who could catch you, but go ahead. Fuck it."

The younger man snorted, "I see what you did there..."

"And I meant it. I mean, use some sense, right? Don't go raping people. I, uh... heard that's what the other guy, the one they, uh, kicked out, did. He was raping Pokémon or something. That's bad. But if they're into it..."

"Huh," Kinta murmured as his eyes drifted to far-away scenarios. "That's... awesome. You think maybe... Nah."

"What?" Alex asked after a second of silence, "You think I'm going to judge you now?"

"W- Well, no, but... it's just... my sister..."

"She's hot," Alex said, hoping to disarm the boy a bit more.

"Y- Yeah... she's been... doing stuff with guys. I think she wants to with you."

"And how does that make you feel?" Alex asked quietly, suddenly feeling more like a shrink than a Trainer.

"Well... I, uh... ex- excited?"

Alex chuckled at the more asked than stated word, "Is she a slut? A whore?"

Kinta recoiled at both, then shook his head. "N- no... she's had um, sex with guys, but not a lot. A couple."

"We've been in a month, and she's had sex with two guys?"

Kinta nodded, blushing.

"That's not bad, I guess- not when they're trying to get us horny all the time. I mean, I haven't with a human at all except for Joy- twice and a BJ- but Elle and her Pokémon are keeping me satisfied for now. I wouldn't say no if your sister came onto me... if you're okay with that. I won't break the bro code. We're bros, right?"

"S- Sure," Kinta said, perking up again, "I... uh... never had a 'bro' before. My friends are... different kinds of guys than you."

"What... your age, quieter, otaku?"

Shyly, Kinta nodded, staring at the fire again as if embarrassed to admit it.

"Well, I'm an otaku too. Not shy, but I'm an otaku, so we got that. And age is... well, the older you get, the less it matters. We aren't that far apart, your dad said you're fourteen? I'm eighteen, so it's just four years. In ten years, that won't matter at all to either of us, promise. So yeah, bros. At least like, in the friendly-family type, you're a little bro I can look out for, and I'll be your big bro for advice with girls, or whatever. If you want."

"S- Sure... I'd l-like that... my dad doesn't like talking about that stuff since Mom died, and Megu... she's..."

"You want her too, huh?"

The question was asked quietly, but loudly enough he knew Kinta heard, because he turned deep scarlet immediately, and shook his head violently. "N- no, of course not, no, she's my sister. That's gross! It's just... sometimes she doesn't care about wearing clothes- like more than her bra and panties- around the house, and I've... uh... sometimes she shows me too much. By accident."

"Okay. Well, no big. I can assure you that, as a guy who grew up in a house with a cute girl too, it's alright to look as long as you're discrete. I'm not going to say you should do anything with your sister... but at the same time who knows? Ten years down the road, she might come onto you. What would you do then?"

Kinta shrugged.

"No judgment, just putting it out there. I don't know if it will- most people don't go for that sorta thing- but as you get older and see more, you'll find that most people are... well, they still don't usually show how they really are in private, when they're in public. But lots, and I mean lots of people are more perverted than they let on. I think sometimes this game is more about encouraging people to be their 'real selves', not 'perverted selves'. We all like sex, it feels good. Right?"

"Y- yeah... I guess."

"But that family thing... it can be a buzz-kill for most folks. Not all, but most. Some... well, like the idea."

"Do... you have a sister?"

"No," Alex replied easily, "but I did grow up with a girl I used to think of as one in the house. Cora. Cute, girl-next-door type, nice tits. Reads, does martial arts. Smart and tough, you know? She went through a phase of that, too, the underwear thing. Kinda wish she hadn't stopped, to be honest, because she's taking care of my dad- he's pretty ill and old- so she's over all the time."

"Huh. Your dad's rich, right?"

"Not like, mega-rich. But he does pretty well."

"If you inherit, what're you gonna do?"

Alex shrugged, "Run the company. What else? Can't give it away, even if I think Cora would do a better job. Board wouldn't let her."

"Isn't it your dad's company?"

"Yeah, but the Board still has the controlling shares. Safer that way. They'd let me take over as President, Owner, and CEO, but not her. Mysogonists still holding out, mostly. Bastards."

"Bastards."

"Watch your language, Kinta, or I'll tell dad," Megumi teased as she and Elle came up the hill, still wet but fully clothed with fluffy towels of deep green, no doubt Megumi's, wrapped around their hair.

"S- Shut up, Megu," he muttured, looking away and blushing again.

Elle dropped into the grass next to him and leaned into Alex's shoulder while Megumi puttered around the campfire for a few seconds, then gave them a wave. "Night, you guys. Don't stay up too late, Kinta, Elle told me about this place to catch some more Fire-types. It sucks having Dad's be the only one we have."

"Ooh... be careful in there," Alex told her.

"Yeah, Elle told me you guys had it rough. We don't have a lot of Pokémon, but they're strong, and Squirtle here is level twenty-four."

"Wow," Alex breathed, "that's twice as strong as my Starter."

"He's all I've used really," Megumi admitted, "I like Water-types and he's really strong. I only caught a few others for utility and... other stuff."

"Wait," Elle perked up a bit after stifling a yawn, "You guys have the whole grass-fire-water trio between you as starters?"

"Yep!"

"Weird. Cool though. We were Poison and Ghost for ours."

"G- Ghost?" Megumi had frozen stiff, glancing about, bent halfway over to pick up her fallen hair-towel, backpack over her shoulder already.

"Yeah- don't worry, he's not going to bug you," Elle giggled, "Why? Scared?"

"W- Well... not my f-favorite type..."

Kinta grinned along with the others, "Mom used to scare her with ghost stories. When she died, Dad tried it for a while, but she was convinced Mom was going to come back that way and haunt us."

"Sh- shut up, you little shit," Megumi hissed, glaring down at the younger sibling.

"Really, he's fine," Elle reassured her, "Loki plays the occasional prank, but it's always small stuff."

Nothing else was said before she hurried off to the safety of Daddy's tent, and eventually Elle started to nod off, snoring once or twice as she shifted on his lap.

"I- I guess I should get to bed too," Kinta said, rubbing his own eyes a little while later, "Night, uh... bro."

"Night, bro," Alex said with a tired smile of his own, "See you in the morning I guess."

A little while later, Alex prodded Elle awake, then half-carried her stumbling self to her tent. Before she crawled inside, he said quietly, "He's a fucking Ghastly. Ghost-type, Poison attacks, a trickster, mostly invisible and intangible... Gotta be a Ghastly."

"Damn. Thought- thought it'd be a while. I guess I owe you a prize... tomorrow, or something."

"I'll hold you to it. Night, Elle."
