Chapter 2: A Nuda Beginning

Two weeks had passed since the initial invitation to Nuda Island was sent to all of the female gym leaders (and trial captains) in just about every part of the Pokémon world. Since then, the three Champions had gone to work getting everything for their arrival.

They set up event schedules, prepared everyone's preferred accommodations, and inspected the island carefully for any dangers or suspicious elements on the island. Even if the island was newly constructed, with how large it was, they felt it best to be on the lookout anyway.

The day before everyone was scheduled to arrive, the three champions gathered at Cynthia's villa, going over any last-minute preparations.

Iris slumped back on a plush couch and sighed deeply. "I'm so tired," she groaned. "Who would have thought hosting a retreat on a large-scale island would be so difficult?"

"Thankfully, we got help from some of the Elite Four members," Diantha said with a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, girls," Cynthia said with unwavering optimism, "it'll all be worth it in the end! I promise, everyone who shows up is really going to enjoy themselves and have the time of their lives!"

"I hope so," worried Iris.

Cynthia noticed Iris twiddling with the collar of her dress and immediately sensed her apprehension. "You're not nervous, are you?" she asked in a gentle voice.

"I don't blame her," Diantha said. "The fact that we are just going to do this in front of everyone who doesn't know that we are…y'know…"

Cynthia laughed as she herself had her own anxieties about what they were going to do in front of dozens of gym leaders. "I get what you two mean," she said, "but I have a good feeling about this. Some of the women might be against it, but once they feel that breeze on their bare skins, they'll never want to go back."

Iris and Diantha smiled, as they knew exactly about the liberating experience Cynthia was talking about. They then went back to work on preparations.

At last, the big day was here! The small port town of Haveno had its streets decorated with colorful banners and flags, ready to welcome the gym leaders and trial captains to Nuda Island.

Standing at the pier, awaiting everyone's arrival was Phoebe, ghost whisperer and a member of the Hoenn Elite Four. She was excited for everyone to arrive so that she could truly enjoy herself on the island.

"They should be here any minute now," she said to her Dusknoir.

Her Dusknoir hovering beside her grunted in response.

Phoebe looked out to the horizon, holding her hand up to protect her eyes from the sun. Her Dusknoir, following the gestures of its trainer, floated up high above her head and stared out towards the horizon.

The two waited and waited.

Suddenly, Dusknoir made a commotion as he saw two ferry boats off in the distance. Phoebe smiled as their wait was finally over.

"Yes! Finally!" cheered Phoebe.

She jumped up and down excitedly as the ferry boats steadily approached the dock. She could see Flannery, Erika, and Janine waving to her from the bow. Phoebe waved back at them.

"Hey, guys!" she shouted as loud as she could.

The ferry boats parked themselves against the dock, allowing easy disembarkment for the gym leaders. Some of the gym leaders even took advantage of Cynthia's offer to bring a friend with them.

With their Pokémon and luggage in tow, the gym leaders plus friends carefully walked down the ramp off the ferry and onto the docks.

They were all in awe at the size of Nuda Island. Even from far-away, Nuda Island looked imposing, not helped by the enormous castle standing tall in the center.

"Wow! They weren't kidding! This place is huge!" May said.

"It's gonna take a whole week just to walk all the way around!" added Flannery.

"Good thing I brought my bike!" chirped Misty.

"I bet I can do some serious hardcore training in those mountains!" said Maylene.

Phoebe ran up to the gym leaders to greet them. "Hi, everyone!" she said, happily. "Welcome to Nuda Island!"

"Phoebe!" said May, surprised at her appearance. "You're here too?"

"Cynthia called me," explained Phoebe, "they needed some extra help with getting things ready. Some of the other Elite Four members are here too. They're around here somewhere."

Just then, something caught Hilda's eyes. She suddenly pointed to the sky.

"Hey, what are those?" asked Hilda.

Everyone looked at the sky and saw what looked like large metal birds carrying very large carriages in their talons. They let out a loud call as they soared majestically through the air.

Phoebe knew what they were. "Looks like the Galar gym leaders are here too," she said.

"They're flying here?!" Gardenia asked, shocked.

"That is usually how they get around," explained Phoebe.

"Are those Pokémon?" Leaf asked, her eyes squinting in suspicion.

"Corviknight, to be exact," explained Roxanne, "I read about them in a book. They have an entire taxi service centered around them."

As the Corviknight flew closer to the island, Melony stuck her head out of her carriage and waved to everyone down below. Most of them were too stunned to wave back.

"We'll meet you in town!" Phoebe shouted.

The Corviknight let out a loud caw and soared over everyone's heads, heading towards the island's airfield.

Among the Galar gym leaders in the sky was Marnie. She was sharing a taxi with Gloria, her plus-one.

"Well, this oughta be a fun trip, won't it?" Gloria asked.

Marnie, keeping her cool, just shrugged her shoulders. Gloria knew Marnie long enough to know that meant she was excited.

The Galar gym leaders weren't the only ones traveling by air. The female gym leaders of Unova - Roxie, Elesa, Lenora, and Skyla - were traveling by cargo plane, along with Rosa and Hilda. They had left from Mistralton City being piloted by none other than their own "Highflying Girl," Skyla.

"This is Skyla of Mistralton Cargo, requesting clearance for landing," Skyla said into her headset.

There was a brief pause before a crackling response came over the radio.

"Copy, Skyla. This is Tower! The runaway's all yours! Winds are calm, visibility is clear…should be a smooth landing! Welcome to Nuda Island! "

As the plane slowly began its descent, Rosa and Roxie looked out the window and were astounded that the large island they saw in the video was just as big in real life.

"Man, this place must be bigger than Unova itself!" gasped Rosa.

"Bet my music will sound killer coming from the castle!" grinned Roxie.

"Well, you girls go and have your fun at that castle," Lenora said, sounding unimpressed. "I'll be right on the beach, relaxing like you should on vacation!"

"All this wicked stuff and all you want to do is just be on the beach?" Hilda asked, indignantly.

"Yeah, pretty much," replied Lenora.

Awaiting their arrival on the tarmac, as well as the arrival of the Galar gym leaders was Kanto Elite Four member Lorelei and Alola Elite Four member (and avid golf enthusiast) Kahili. They both agreed to help Cynthia on the grounds that they would be able to freely use the island amenities (such as the driving range) whenever they want.

"Here they come," Lorelei said, adjusting her glasses. Her Dewgong clapped his flippers happily.

Standing next to Kahili was her Toucannon, who eyed the Corviknight menacingly as they and Skyla's plane descended towards the ground.

"Remember Toucannon," said Kahili, "they're guests, so behave yourself."

Toucannon only cawed in reluctant agreement.

On the other side of the island, Phoebe was escorting the other gym leaders into town, where the three champions were waiting to welcome them.

"Couldn't you have gotten us a bus? Or a tram?" complained Candice. "This is a really long walk from the pier."

"Oh come on, Candice," chuckled Maylene. "This is nothing compared to climbing the cold mountains of Snowpoint City!"

"No, it definitely isn't," replied Candice. Having lived in a colder climate all her life, the tropical air and sun was starting to take its toll on her.

"Just hang on! We're almost there," Phoebe said.

As they made their way to town, Jasmine looked over towards the ocean as something caught her eye. It looked to be a herd of Lapras swimming towards the island. "Look everybody, there's a Lapras on the water!" she said, excitedly.

Everyone turned towards the sea and saw the herd she was talking about. "Oh wow!" gasped Flannery. "I've never seen them in a group before!"

But Leaf noticed something the others didn't.

"Wait a minute," Leaf said, squinting her eyes. "I think there's people riding on them!"

And indeed, there were.

Riding on the shells of Lapras were the trial captains of the Alola region, along with their friend Lillie. Instead of arriving by boat, they opted for a more adventurous entrance coming in mounted on Pokémon.

The Lapras let out a sonorous cry as they approached the shore. "Hey, everyone!" waved Mallow. "We're not too late, are we?"

There was a murmur of both amazement and confusion amongst the other gym leaders. "Talk about making an entrance," laughed Erika.

The Trial Captains and Lillie were helped onto the shore by the other gym leaders. They waved goodbye to their aquatic friends before joining in with everyone else.

"So, were you guys not able to charter a ferry boat?" teased Whitney.

"We could," replied Acerola, "but we thought this was more fun."

"So much more fun," repeated Olivia. "We got to see a lot of Pokémon we never see back in Alola."

"You should have seen it!" said Lana. "We were on our way here but then we were attacked by Lugia! It tried to take us out with its Aeroblast, but then a wild Wailord appeared and blocked it!"

The other gym leaders gasped in shock. "Oh my!" gasped Kris.

" Le plus terrifiant! " said Fantina.

"She's lying," Sabrina said bluntly.

"Yeah she is," Mallow said, gently bonking Lana on the head. "Lana, didn't I tell you not to make up stories like that?"

Lana could only stick her tongue out in a cheeky manner. "We did see a Wailord though," she said.

Soon, everyone arrived at one of the island hotels, where they were told to leave their luggage and meet in the town square for the opening ceremonies.

"That's right, just leave your stuff here!" instructed Phoebe. "Don't worry! We'll take good care of it!"

Suddenly, Fantina rolled in several cases of her luggage, all filled to burst with dresses and classy outfits. "Please do be careful with my things," she told Phoebe. "I have many unique outfits and clothes inside."

"I see somebody ignored the "don't bring extra clothes" rule on the invitation," said Phoebe.

"Yes, very curious," replied Fantina, "why were we told not to bring extra clothes? Are we not here for a week?"

"Cynthia will explain everything in the town square," said Phoebe. She had been asked that question by just about everyone and she hated that she couldn't give them the real reason.

With the luggage squared away for the time being, the gym leaders all met up in front of a makeshift stage in the center of the town square, including the Alola trial captains and the Galar gym leaders. They all mingled amongst themselves, awaiting the three champions' arrival.

Little did anyone know, the three champions were backstage behind the curtain. "It's almost time," whispered Cynthia.

"Ready?" Diantha asked Iris.

"As ready as I'll ever be," replied Iris. Her twiddling with the strings of her cape suggested that she was still anxious about what was going to happen.

Just as the gym leaders and trial captains were beginning to grow restless, the three champions finally took to the stage. Instead of their usual outfits, they were all dressed in long, flowing capes that covered their entire bodies from neck to feet.

"Hello, everybody!" Cynthia said enthusiastically. "Welcome to Nuda Island!"

"And welcome to the first Women's gym leader retreat!" added Diantha.

All of the female gym leaders in the crowd cheered, their excitement evident.

"So what do you guys think of the island?" asked Iris. "Pretty cool, right?"

The crowd murmured, all agreeing in unison.

"Good," Cynthia said, nodding her head, "the three of us worked hard to shape this island so that there was something for everyone of you!"

"Mountains, castles, shops, we even added a golf course, both professional and mini!" added Iris.

"We hope you are all able to use this free week to have fun, socialize, and most importantly, celebrate your fellow women gym leaders!"

The champions paused to give the gym leaders a chance to applaud.

"Now I know you all can't wait to go out and explore the island to your heart's content," continued Cynthia, "but before we let you go, there's…one thing we need to discuss."

The gym leaders and trial captains began murmuring, wondering what the champions wanted to talk to them about.

"When we were working on the island," said Diantha, "we wanted to create the ultimate haven of fun and relaxation solely for our women gym leaders! Somewhere where you all can feel safe and free to be yourselves!"

"Y'know, somewhere you can just let it all hang out," piped in Iris, "where you can let your hair down and feel the wind between your legs."

"Somewhere where you can be who you are," added Cynthia, "without the fear of judgment from others, especially men."

Some of the gym leaders nodded their heads in agreement, though they were confused as to what the champions were getting at, especially the part about feeling the wind between your legs.

They would understand soon enough.

"That's why," said Cynthia, grabbing the strings that held up her cape, "we made Nuda Island…a nudist island!"

Before anyone could digest what Cynthia had said, she pulled on the ties of her cape, letting it fall around her feet. The gym leaders gasped as Cynthia now stood on stage completely nude! Their eyes popped upon seeing her bare breasts and blonde pubic hair glisten in the sun.

As if that wasn't shocking enough to the crowd, Diantha and Iris then dropped their capes revealing their own nude figures! While neither of them could compare to Cynthia's busty body, Diantha had a slender body fitting of an actress while Iris' appeared more youthful in appearance.

The murmuring grew louder and louder, as no one knew what to make of this. Reactions varied from horrified shock to genuine curiosity.

"My goodness!" gasped Melony. "They undressed so casually!"

"Have they gone mental?!" Marnie said, snapping out of her cool demeanor.

"Did they mention this in the invitation?" asked Mallow.

"I don't think so," replied Olivia.

Even Sabrina, who most of the other gym leaders claim to be the most reserved of them all, was caught off-guard by all of the sudden nudity.

"I…certainly didn't foresee that," she said with her eyes wide in surprise.

The three champions stood proudly on stage in front of everyone with their hands on their hips, refusing to cover themselves up.

"This isn't going so well," Iris whispered to the others.

"Give them a moment," Cynthia replied calmly.

And so they did. The three champions stood on stage decked out in their birthday suits watching everyone talk amongst themselves. For a moment, Diantha and Iris grew nervous as no one was joining in with them.

That is until…

"Alright! Finally!"

A loud voice suddenly cut through the commotion, silencing everyone. They all turned towards Flannery, who had her arms up in celebration.

"I've been dying for a place like that!" she shouted, happily.

Everyone was surprised when Flannery unknotted her shirt and tossed it to the ground. She had unzipped her pants when she noticed everyone staring at her. "What?" she asked, unashamed. "Come on, everyone! It's a private island with just us girls! Let's enjoy the huge island and this amazing weather!"

Flannery then pulled her undershirt up over her head, letting her chest bounce freely. Roxanne and May covered their faces as Flannery then pulled her pants and underwear down to her ankles, flashing her red-haired pussy to everyone.

"There you go! That's the spirit!" cheered Cynthia.

Now just as nude as the champions, Flannery reached up towards the sky, smiling as she felt the sun on her skin.

"Flannery, what are you doing?!" scolded Roxanne. "Put your clothes back on at once!"

"You girls are missing out!" Flannery said, ignoring Roxanne. "Come on, give it a try!"

Mallow then sighed happily. "I was waiting for someone else to go first," she said.

Her Alola companions were surprised when Mallow pulled the straps of her overalls off her shoulders. "Let's go, girls! Just think of it like when we go nude hiking or skinny dipping back home!"

"You guys do what?!" asked Olivia. "And you don't invite me?!"

Before anyone knew what was going on, the Alola girls then took their clothes off and joined the champions and Flannery in the nude celebration. Acerola and Mina especially didn't seem to mind, though Lillie was horrified by what was going on and refused to join in.

"Oh, this does feel nice," remarked Lana, "kind of like when I go skinny dipping."

"W-wait," stammered Misty, "Lana, you skinny dip?"

Lana laughed nervously. "Well…sometimes late at night when I'm alone, I like to just…take it off and swim naked."

Misty hesitated for a moment. "Ah, what the heck!" she said. "I do the same thing at the gym when I'm alone." Misty then began sliding her bathing suit down her body to join everyone else.

Little by little, most of the other gym leaders stripped off their clothing, each providing justification for why they were doing so. Some were closted nudists deep down (such as Flannery and the Alola girls), some were secretly curious about nudism (Erika, Gardenia), and others did it solely to fit in with the others.

In any case, the three champions were pleased to see everyone taking part.

"Told you they would do it," bragged Cynthia.

"It's working a lot better than I thought," murmured Diantha.

"Yeah, and exactly how Cynthia said they would," added Iris.

Finally, all but a few of the women were completely nude or at the very least had stripped down to their underwear.

Marnie's head darted back and forth, shocked to see so many women nude in public. Gloria was concerned, as she had never seen the usually-calm Marnie so worked up before.

"Has everyone gone mad?!" Marnie asked, horrified.

"Indeed," agreed Nessa. "Look at them all, disrobing with no shame!"

Melony simply shrugged her shoulders. "Oh well," she said, happily, "as they say, if you can't beat them..."

Nessa and Marnie's eyes popped as Melony took off the white tank top she had been wearing, exposing more of her snowy white skin to the sun. "Ahhhh, I feel better already," Melony sighed as she unhooked her bra, freeing her massive bosom.

"Melony, come on now!" scolded Nessa. "You are a mother!"

Gloria nervously tapped her fingers. Contrary to Nessa and Marnie's responses, she didn't mind everyone's nudity and wanted to join in herself. But Marnie's reaction kept her from doing so.

With just about everyone au naturel, Cynthia spoke up again. "Don't you all feel better already?" she asked.

The gym leaders cheered, some even celebrating by tossing their undergarments in the air.

"Well, now that we are all comfortable now," Diantha said. "The Women's Gym Leader retreat has officially begun!"

And with that, the female gym leaders let out their loudest cheer. Everyone was ready to go out and explore Nuda Island in their most comfortable outfit.

"Hey everybody!"

Suddenly, a short, thin blonde girl came rolling in on roller skates, stopping just short of a few feet away from the stage. "Korrina?" asked Iris, surprised.

Korrina was then joined by the other Kalos gym leaders: Viola, Valerie, and Olympia, as well as Malva and Drasna, members of the Kalos Elite Four. "Forgive us for being late!" said Malva. "Our boat was stopped by a herd of Wailord crossing our path."

It was then that they finally noticed everyone's clothes spread out around the feet of the now-naked gym leaders. There was a moment of eerie silence as both the Kalos gym leaders and the other gym leaders stared at each other.

"Oh my!" gasped Valerie, covering her mouth with the sleeves of her kimono.

"Well doesn't everyone look comfortable?" joked Drasna.

"We missed something, didn't we?" replied Korrina.

Viola simply raised her camera and quickly snapped a few photos of everyone in the buff.

TO BE CONTINUED..

A/N: With the introductions out of the way, the rest of the story will be an anthology of different nudist stories. Each chapter will center around one gym leader or trial captain, exploring the island and their experiences with nudism. Some may be wholesome, others…less so.

Also, I will be bouncing around between different region groups. Originally, I was going to do it in order, but then some of you would wait a long time for the "waifus" in the later games (like the Alola girls and the Galar gym leaders).

Lastly, the plus-ones (the female protagonists) are as follows: Leaf, Kris, May, Dawn, Hilda, Rosa, Lillie, and Gloria. If I missed someone, it's either because I didn't think they're interesting or they're copies of other, better characters.

There's already A LOT of characters to keep track of, so I have to draw some lines through names somewhere.
