Kanto Gets Loud
Chapter 89: Stone Town Pokemon Contest!
Later, back on Earth, Sainan, Japan,
Having returned to Earth, Zastin went around the Japan area, dropping off passengers at their intended destinations. He left Lum and Ten to try and break Moroboshi out of his goopy prison in Tomobiki-cho, then dropped of Tenchi and the girls from the Masaki residence in Okayama, "Man, Tenchi and them live in a great place," Lincoln commented, enjoying the scenic view of the Masaki residence. And he wasn't kidding. Tenchi's house was situated on the bank of a beautiful lake with a Shinto shrine at the top of a nearby hill. Lincoln and the others also noted a massive tree in another lake nearby.
"Reminds me of some of the forest lakes we've got in the Monster Realm," Charlie commented.
"Are they really great sights to behold?" Haruna asked.
"Oh, most definitely. The lakes and caves have natural deposits of magic crystal ore within them, which gives them a breathtaking appearance because they always shower their surroundings in a wide array of colors," Charlie replied.
"It's one of those 'have to see to believe' things," Verosika added.
"Is magic ore like a protected substance in your realm, or can it be harvested to make stuff?" Kotegawa asked.
"Technically it can be harvested to produce high quality items and weapons, but there are laws against overharvesting them. It's mostly dwarves and minotaurs, like Milt, that usually use the stuff," Octavia explained.
"And let me tell you, that stuff is a lot of fun to work with! And the tools and weapons we make with it are the best of the best quality," Milt proclaimed, as the ship began to slow down.
"We're now arriving at our final destination, the Yuuki Household. Please gather your belongings, and depart once we've landed," Zastin announced. Everyone made sure they had everything on their person, just as the ship stopped above the Yuuki household. They were then beamed down into the yard.
"Space was nice and all, but I think I'm happy to be back on Earth again," Lincoln commented.
"I couldn't agree with you more, Lincoln," Rito replied.
"Well, in any case, it was nice seeing you again, Lincoln," Haruna said to the white-haired boy.
"And it was an honor meeting you ladies as well," Nana said to Lincoln's Monster fiancés.
"Likewise, Nana," Charlie said.
"We should get together sometime for a Girl's Day!" Verosika suggested.
"Sounds good," Nana said, before turning to Lincoln, "I won't keep you from your journey in Kanto, but try to take care out there, ok, Lincoln?"
"I will, Nana, and don't worry. Anytime you or your friends need any help, don't hesitate to call me up. I'll be there in no time," Lincoln replied, as he pulled out his amulet, "Alright ladies, ready to head back to Stone Town?"
"We are. I'm certain the Kovaks will enjoy the Hot Springs too," Verosika replied. Lincoln then used his amulet to open the portal to Stone Town, allowing the girls to pass through.
"Oh wait, there's one more thing you all need to know about Kovaks!" Lala called out, catching their attention, "It's important that you do NOT let them look at the moon when it's full!"
"Why's that? Will they, turn into something like werewolves or something?" Lincoln asked.
"Actually, their fertility skyrockets to its maximum possible level, giving them a powerful and impossible to ignore desire to breed with anyone or anything they can get their hands on. That's why you'll need to administer a powerful sedative to them just before the moon starts rising," Momo replied.
"And the longer they go without breeding, it'll be just as Lincoln said, they'll go completely feral like sex-crazed werewolves until they get what they want. Like, they'll grow claws and become more muscular," Nana added.
"Well, we have plenty of sleeping spells in the Monster Realm. I'm sure we can make something work out," Charlie replied.
"And as far as lodging goes, you could have them put into rooms that don't have windows," Lincoln added.
"Well, there's that, so I'd say we're golden," Charlie stated, as Lincoln passed through, closing the portal in the process.
"Well, we're back in Stone Town again," Miu commented, as Lincoln pulled out his Pokedex.
"Dexter, could you send a message to Brock and Misty, and let them know that I'm back in Stone Town, and in the company of Charlie and the others?" Lincoln asked.
"Certainly. Just give me one moment," Dexter replied, as he composed a message to Lincoln's friends.
"To Brock and Misty,
I'm back in Stone Town. I'm also with Charlie and the girls from the Monster Realm. We also have to Kovaks with us as well. They said they wanted to spend some time at the hot springs too, so I invited them over to do just that. We're in the Pokemon Center lot right now, might do some exploring around Stone Town,
Sincerely, Lincoln Loud," the message read.
"Alright, they've been informed. So, what would you girls like to do in the meantime? I know the hot springs are high on your itinerary," Lincoln asked.
"Well, what all is there to do here in Stone Town?" Miu asked.
"According to those Eevee Brothers, Stone Town is also famous for digging up rare gemstones that are used in making fashionable jewelry. Maybe some window shopping?" Lincoln suggested.
"Geology may not be one of my fortes, but I suppose a nice jeweled rock wouldn't hurt," Octavia commented.
"I'd love to see if the jeweled ores in the Human Realm have the same sparkle as what we find in the mines!" Milt added.
"I wonder if they use those evolution stones in fashioning jewelry?" Vaggie mused.
"Probably not, or if they do, they'll only use used ones. Once used, an Evolution Stone is basically like any other rock," Lincoln replied.
"Well, at the very least, they'd probably still look nice," Charlie commented.
"Yeah, I guess they would still look nice, either as jewelry of paperweights," Gwendolyn replied.
"Alright, and maybe they've got a nice restraunt here we can grab some lunch at," Lincoln commented, turning to the Kovaks, "Are you ladies willing to join us as well?"
"M-M-Master, you'd really like for us to join you?" Zelda asked, as she and the other Kovaks looked elated that their master would include them in something, their tails wagging wildly.
"Of course. I want you girls to experience as much as you can before you head to the Monster Realm with Miu and the others," Lincoln replied.
"One thing, though… Humans may not be willing to cater to aliens," Octavia pointed out.
"Not to worry… I have that covered!" Verosika said, as she placed glowing pink sigils on each of the Kovaks, while also placing blue sigils on Lincoln, Pikachu and the others, "And done!" she proclaimed proudly.
"Ok, so what are these sigils for, anyhow?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, the pink sigils I placed on the Kovaks cloaks them so that no one else can see them, and the blue sigils allow us to see them," Verosika explained.
"You know how magnets work, right? It's kind of like how that works, in a way," Vaggie added.
"And I put one on Pikachu as well, so that the little guys can see them too," Verosika added.
"It feels kind of funny," Pikachu commented.
"'Funny' in what way, buddy?" Lincoln asked.
"Can't really describe it. I guess it feels kind of warm," Pikachu replied. Lincoln felt warmth from the sigil too, confirming Pikachu's words.
"Verosika, are these sigils supposed to feel warm?" he asked.
"I usually hear that from other monsters that receive this type of sigil, but it's not anything harmful," Verosika replied.
"Well, that's good to hear," Lincoln commented, turning to the Kovaks, "How about you girls? You feeling ok with the sigils?" he asked.
"Yes master. They feel nice and warm," Willa replied.
"They're not really uncomfortable at all," Jaqueline added.
"Well, that's good to hear," Lincoln replied, before turning to the rest of the group, "Well, shall we then?"
"We shall," Charlie replied in her faux haughty tone, as they exited the Pokemon Center grounds to explore the town.
"Blue? I want you and the other Kovaks to stick close to us, alright?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes master! As you wish!" Blue replied, looking almost too excited.
"So, why haven't you gone on to that Fuchsia City place yet? Not that Stone Town isn't a nice place itself," Miu asked.
"I thought I told you girls before? There's going to be a Toughness Division Pokemon Contest happening tomorrow that I want to participate in to hopefully earn my second Ribbon. After that, we'll be taking a shortcut through a tunnel at the base of Evolution Mountain that connects Stone Town to Sunny Town, where they'll be having a Coolness Division Contest. Once I'm done with both things, then we'll be crossing a bridge to get to Fuchsia City," Lincoln explained.
"So, what's your game plan for tomorrow's contest?" Charlie asked.
"I'm going to be using Kingler in the appeals round, followed by Lucario in the Battle Stage," Lincoln replied.
"We know Lucario, but Kingler is…?" Vaggie tried to remember.
"It was that crab with the giant claw I got from a Wonder Trade back at Maiden's Peak," Lincoln replied.
"Ah, now I remember!" Vaggie proclaimed.
"Lucario, I can understand why you would enter, but why Kingler?" Milt asked.
"Well, I was hoping that I could show off the power of Kingler's large claw by either smashing tiles and bricks, or cutting a metal beam in two," Lincoln replied.
"Well, with how huge its claw is, I can see that. But wait, aren't contests about showing off your Pokemon using their moves?" Gwendolyn asked.
"Well, yes, but another important part of contests is being able to show off your Pokemon's unique qualities, like if they can sense oncoming rain, like Vaporeon, or use air currents to predict the future, like Espeon," Lincoln explained.
"Huh, when you put it that way, that does make a lot of sense," Octavia commented, as they continued walking.
Meanwhile, back in Lori and Lynn's joint dream,
Both sisters had continued climbing the stairs, passing through Lucy, the twins, Lisa's mosaics, before finally arriving at Lily's mosaic, "Alright, we're at Lily's mosaic… And there's another flight of stairs over there!" Lori exclaimed, pointing to the other end of Lily's mosaic, which did, in fact, have another set of stairs leading upwards.
"We need to talk to the others about this weird dream, and try to get their take on it," Lynn said, as they crossed over Lily's mosaic.
"Still, these mosaics were all very beautiful… well, all but my own, as far as I saw," Lori commented.
"The same with me and MY mosaic. But you are right; These mosaics are really something to behold. Especially the twin's. It looked like that Yin Yang thing," Lynn replied.
"Well, the two of them ARE polar opposites, as is Yin Yang," Lori replied, as they arrived at the stairs.
"Since Lily's the youngest of our sisters, that would have to mean that Lincoln's is the only one left, right?" Lynn theorized.
"Well, only one way to find out," Lori replied, as the two began climbing the stairs.
"Hey, if and when we do get a chance to talk to Lincoln again, think we should tell him about this dream?" Lynn asked.
"Hmm, it might be best to get his input on what he thinks this particular dream is about. Of course, that'll probably be AFTER he tells us off for what we did," Lori replied.
"I know we shouldn't get our hopes up, but maybe he'll take it easy on us with what we went through at the Sanitorium," Lynn added.
"Yeah, but as you said, we shouldn't get our hopes up. After all, he may not even be willing to forgive us right away, even if we just tell him we were wrong about everything. It's like I once told him; Actions speak louder than words," Lori replied, as they arrived at the top of the stairs, only to find… nothing, "Wait, what? This doesn't make any sense! Lincoln's the only one left for there to be a mosaic of!"
"There weren't any splits in the path upstairs, so we couldn't have made any wrong turns," Lynn added.
"It isn't that simple," in a flash of orange light, Lincoln, or rather, the creature that looked like Lincoln, materialized, "You can't simply just expect there to be a mosaic of your brother right away. There's more to it than that," "Lincoln" stated.
"But what more can there be done about it?" Lori asked.
"Yeah, we saw all those other mosaics of our sisters! And Lori and I both saw each of our individual mosaics were in ruins!" Lynn added.
"That is because you both have been forced to realize that you both ruined your own reputations, and became a disgrace to your individual fields. Your brother's mosaic will appear, but only when you're both ready," "Lincoln" replied, as the same bright orange light flooded the entire void, separating both sisters as they were cast out of the void, and forcing them awake as they shot straight up in bed.
"Oh man, I think I got lay off spicy snacks before bed. That dream was way more mysterious than all my previous ones," Lynn commented, rubbing her head. Now that she was wide awake, she figured she'd go to the bathroom, ' I just hope I can find some answers to that dream and those mosaics after talking to Lincoln.'
Back at the Stone Town Hot Springs, evening,
"Mmm, this is awesome!" Charlie exclaimed, as she and the rest of the girls, including Misty and the Kovaks, were all enjoying the Hot Springs together, relaxing in the hot water. Though, Gwendolyn looked a bit dizzy from the heat.
"You ok, Gwen?" Misty asked.
"Y-Yeah… much like spiders, Arachne don't do well in extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. I might get out here before too long," Gwendolyn replied.
"I think I might be in the same boat," Vaggie commented, also feeling woozy from the heat.
"Are there other Hot Springs like this one around Kanto?" Octavia asked, enjoying the hot water as much as the other girls.
"Oh, there are plenty around Kanto. In fact, Cinnabar Island is one of those locations that are famous for having hot springs resorts. Of course, it is also home to the Kanto Region's Fire Type Gym, but with how famous the resorts are, it's really more of a tourist destination than anything else," Misty replied.
"Oh… so, does that mean that'll be one Gym Lincoln won't be challenging?" Milt asked.
"Well, he can, if he chooses to. Blaine, the Cinnabar Gym Leader, is a bit of an eccentric with a real knack for telling riddles, but is also still an official Leader of an operating Gym. Though, he's not too keen on the tourism that's been running rampant throughout Cinnabar Island. He claims that tourism is actually hurting Cinnabar Island, since trainers are more interested in the hot springs than the gym. In fact, the last time I met with him, he said that he moved his gym to a secret location, which is only accessible by Pokemon Trainers who can answer his riddles, as well as locate the entrance," Misty explained.
"But if he wants more trainers to challenge his gym, why not advertise that it's still operational?" Charlie asked.
"Because doing so is against Pokemon League Rules, and could end up not only getting his gym shut down, but his status as a Gym Leader revoked as well," Misty replied.
"Yeesh, you'd think the League would do something to help their own Gym Leaders," Verosika commented.
"Yes, well, it's really more up to the challengers to locate the Gyms they wish to challenge. After all, what good is a gym battle challenge if just anyone came to challenge them? They could even get challenged by trainers who aren't registered to compete in that Regional League," Misty explained.
"Wait, so trainers have to be registered in order to challenge gyms?" Gwendolyn asked, as she and Vaggie got out.
"That's right. If you aren't officially registered, then you can't officially challenge a Gym Leader to a battle. I mean, you can still battle them, sure, but you won't get a badge," Misty replied, as she and the others got out as well.
"Well, after Fuchsia City, what other Gyms can Lincoln challenge?" Vaggie asked, as they all dried off, and went into to change back into their normal clothes.
"Well, we heard from our friend, Raigo, of a gym in Chartreuse City, which specializes in Normal Types, but he… didn't have nice things to say about it," Misty replied.
"Any particular reason why?" Miu asked.
"He told us that the Gym Leader there was a complete joke, and that his Eight Badge Team was no stronger than a One Badge Team. Which is odd, since the Chartreuse City Gym is one of the top ranked Gyms in Kanto," Misty replied.
"That does sound odd. Are you all going to try looking into it?" Charlie asked.
"Well, it'll be one of the towns we'll be passing through after Fuchsia City. Other Gyms he could challenge include Saffron Gym, which specializes in Psychic Types, Gringey City, since that Gym Leader has returned from recruiting trainers in another region, according to Raigo, which also specializes in Steel Types, Seafoam Islands, which has an Ice Type Gym, Periwinkle City, which out by the coast, and specializes in Flying Types. But I remember seeing on the news that the Periwinkle City Gym Leader is still in Hoenn, trying to recruit trainers to help against Team Rocket," Misty explained.
"Is Team Rocket really that big of an organization?" Charlie asked, as they exited the changing room.
"We don't know how many members they have, exactly, but it has to be well up in the hundreds, maybe even the thousands for all we know," Misty replied, giving her estimation.
"Oh dear, that does sound awful!" Charlie commented.
"It is. We have our own forces with the Kanto Gym Leaders and the Elite Four helping to take down Team Rocket, but they still keep popping up everywhere, at the worst possible times," Misty replied.
"I know a couple of monsters from my neck of the woods just like that," Loona commented, as they reentered the main lobby, where Lincoln and Brock were waiting.
"Hey girls. Enjoy the hot springs?" Lincoln greeted.
"They were everything we hoped they would be!" Miu replied.
"I've never felt more rejuvenated in my life!" Verosika added.
"Well, that's good to hear," Lincoln commented.
"So, did you try sneaking a peek at us in the bath?" Verosika asked, sounding like she was hoping for Lincoln to peep at them.
"Verosika!" Miu exclaimed, taking the High Succubus by the ear, clearly embarrassed by her friend's flirty question, "You know that Lincoln isn't that kind of boy!"
"Plus, it would be impossible for me or any one else in the men's side of the bath to peep at you girls. There's nothing climb on, and the only possible viewing point is way out of our reach," Lincoln replied, sounding equally embarrassed.
"In any case, it's getting late, so we should head back to the Pokemon Center," Brock suggested, feeling gipped that he and several other men couldn't peep at the girls. With that, they exited hot springs facility, just as another person was walking into the building. He was a large, heavily built young man with a shaved head, and wearing what could be considered a Shaolin Monk's robes and beads.
"Pardon me, but is this facility still open?" he asked.
"Yes. It shouldn't be closing anytime soon," Brock replied.
"Excellent," the man said, as he entered the building.
"That guy seemed a bit… off, wouldn't you say?" Octavia questioned quietly.
"He's probably just had a rough day and wants to relax," Lincoln replied, as they continued to walk towards the Pokemon Center.
"So, are there more Gyms out there besides the ones you told us about?" Milt asked.
"Well, there is one in Viridian City, but that Gym closed down after the previous leader abandoned it. We don't know too much about them, other than their name is 'Giovanni,' and that he specializes in Ground Types. Crimson City also has a Fighting Type Gym, and Mauve City has a Bug Type Gym, but the latter is way out of our way, so I doubt we'll be heading there," Misty replied.
"Well, at least he has no shortage of chances for his remaining badges," Gwendolyn commented.
"Yes, but they'll all be tougher than the previous Gyms he's faced, since the difficulty of each Gym Battle intensifies with the more badges a trainer has," Misty replied.
"You mean that badge system thing Gym Leaders have?" Miu asked.
"That's right. The Fuchsia Gym will have a team stronger than what Yurei had at Maiden's Peak since I have five badges. And whatever gym I face after that will be even stronger since I'll have six badges if I win there," Lincoln explained.
"But with all the training you've been doing at the Battle Chateau, there's no doubt that you'll be ready for anything that comes your way," Misty replied.
"True, but it always pays to have a decent strategy if things get a little iffy," Lincoln replied.
All the while Lincoln and the others were conversing, Milt looked down at her enormous boobs, feeling they were feeling a bit heavier, 'Guess I need to get milked before bed,' she thought, as the image of Lincoln milking her boobs entered her mind, causing her to blush brightly, but knew that sort of event would be inevitable once they're married, 'M-Maybe I can convince him to milk me once we're alone,' she thought, as they arrived at the Pokemon Center.
"Well, here we are, back at the Pokemon Center! Lets go ahead and get some dinner from the restraunt," Lincoln suggested.
"That sounds wonderful!" Charlie exclaimed, as they all filed into the Pokemon Center, with Lincoln and Milt being the last ones.
"Um, Lincoln? Could I maybe ask you to do something for me after dinner?" she asked meekly.
"Hmm? Sure Milt, what do you need?" Lincoln asked.
"Mmm, it's… kind of personal, and a little embarrassing of me to ask. Can we go somewhere private after dinner?" Milt asked. Lincoln was most concerned now.
"Sure thing, Milt. Should we bring the others with us?" Lincoln asked.
"N-No… I'd rather it be just the two of us," Milt replied, before thinking of something, "W-Well, maybe Verosika."
"Alright then. Let's ask Verosika once we're in the restraunt," Lincoln suggested, as the two of them entered, and made their way to the restraunt, where the others were already seated at a larger table in a private room, which was good, since the Kovaks were also in there, completely undetected from all the other humans in the restraunt.
"We were wondering where you two were," Vaggie commented, as Lincoln and Milt took their seats.
"Bet you two were sucking face when none of us were looking," Loona quipped.
"N-NO! It was nothing like that!" Milt exclaimed, clearly embarrassed by her hellhound friend's comment.
"Well, in any case, the waiter will be back soon to take our orders. We'll probably have to order a larger platter to feed the Kovaks," Misty said, handing Lincoln and Milt some menus.
"Don't worry, girls. Once we get you settled in, we'll see about getting you a proper feeding cycle," Lincoln said to the Kovaks.
"Thank you, Master. We really would love that," Blue replied.
Meanwhile, back at the Reynolds' House,
"… And that's what happened in the dream," Lori explained, as she and Lynn were telling their mother and sisters about their dream.
"Hmm, that is rather peculiar. Lincoln's mosaic should've been right after Lily's, especially if his wasn't between Lynn and Lucy's. Most peculiar," Lisa mused.
"But on that note, why mosaics?" Lana wondered.
"Another perplexing mystery. It would appear the lingering effects of the Karmic Misfortune Curse must have some bizarre side effects, considering Lincoln only forgave the two of you out of pity. Unfortunately, I am not too versed in dreams, so I couldn't tell you what I believe it to be," Lisa replied.
"I heard some talk that dreams can often be a premonition of something to come. Maybe the dream the two of you had might be trying to tell you something that might happen in the future?" Luan theorized.
"Well, there is ONE thing that I can predict; Another day at school for each of you, so you'll all need to go get ready after breakfast. And Lori, Lynn? Try not to dwell on it too much. I'll see about trying to get you girls an appointment with Doctor Lopez, just like I did with Luan. Hopefully, she'll be able to piece together a theory about your dream," Rita said.
"Yeah… hopefully," Lori replied, as she and her sisters finished up their breakfasts, and went to collect their things for school. All the while, Rita couldn't help but ponder the meaning of her daughter's dreams herself.
"Hmm, mosaics of themselves and their sisters, but nothing on Lincoln. What could that mean? And why mosaics of all things?" she pondered.
Meanwhile, back in Kanto, in the forest just outside of Stone Town,
"Y-Y-Y-YOU WANT ME/HIM TO DO WHAT?!" Lincoln and Verosika yelled in shock, as they stood with Milt in the thick foliage of the forest.
"I-I want Lincoln to m-m-milk me," Milt shakily replied, fidgeting from embarrassment.
"B-B-But don't you have castle personnel to do that for you!? I mean, this is all so sudden!" Lincoln exclaimed.
"I have to agree with Lincoln on this one, Milt. Milking you may prove to be too much stimulation for him," Verosika added.
"W-Well, I didn't get a lot out during my morning session, so I kind have a lot built up in my boobs now," Milt explained.
"Ok, but why not ask one of the girls to help you with it? Because, I'm going to be real; I don't think I'm mentally prepared for this," Lincoln questioned.
"I'm really sorry to ask you to do this, Lincoln, but I'd feel too awkward asking Verosika, Charlie, Miu, or any of the others to help me out with relieving myself. Besides, this sort of thing is going to have to be par for the course when we get married. So please, Lincoln, I'm begging you! My boobs are really feeling heavy and its making my back and shoulders hurt something awful!" Milt pleaded.
"W-Well, alright, I'll do it. But what if someone comes by and sees us?" Lincoln asked.
"Not to worry. I figured that was why she wanted me along for the ride," Verosika replied, as she placed the same pink sigils that she put on the Kovaks on herself, Lincoln, and Milt, "There, now even if someone does pass through here, they won't even notice us."
"Alright then, lets start then," Lincoln said, turning to Milt, "So, is there a specific way you like to be milked or what?"
"N-No, not really. My nipples will start leaking once you grab hold of them," Milt replied, as she pulled out an amulet of her own. She waved her hand over it, causing some sort of warp to appear from the jewel in the center. She reached into the warp, and pulled out four large milk cans, "A-And if you can, I want to try and save the milk you get out."
"Wait, you save your milk?" Lincoln asked.
"Of course she does, Lincoln. Milk that comes from dairy breed minotaurs, centaurs, pans, and even satyrs are highly rich in nutritional value, and is quite delicious as well. I, myself, as well as the others, happen to enjoy the taste of these kinds of milk. But, since they do come from actual monsters and not from the Monster Realm's livestock, it's quite expensive, and not easy to come by. In fact, those kinds of milk are often reserved for new mothers who have trouble producing milk of their own milk for their young, or really sketchy nobles with weird tastes but don't want them to be known," Verosika explained.
"I see," Lincoln replied, as he turned his attention back to his minotaur fiancé, and her huge boobs, 'Man, I know her boobs are huge, but now they look even more colossal!' he thought, before he remembered what Liam had told him about milking cows and goats on the farm.
"Remember, ya need to be gentle with them. Any unnecessary discomfort could land ya in for a world o' hurtin'! If need be, with goats, you'll have to stimulate them by givin' them a nice massage. This'll help the milk flow out more easily," he remembered Liam's words.
'Oh, that's right! Maybe it'll help Milt out more if I do that same method!' Lincoln thought, as he place his hands on Milt's breasts, causing her to tense up from the sudden touch. He then began rubbing his hands all over, causing Milt to squirm and fidget a bit.
"L-Lincoln! I thought I said I wanted you to milk me, not to feel me up!" Milt exclaimed, before letting out a cry of ecstasy from the massage.
"S-Sorry, Milt, but I'm just going by what my friend, Liam, taught me about milking cattle and goats, and I thought this could help get more milk out," Lincoln replied, as he continued to massage Milt's boobs. Verosika, meanwhile, looked very impressed with the technique Lincoln was using.
"I had a feeling you liked larger breasts, Lincoln, but you're really going to town on Milt!" she commented.
"Well, it isn't just huge boobs I like as a part of a girl's physical form, Verosika. I kind of have a thing for huge butts and thick thighs too," Lincoln replied, blushing from Verosika's color commentary.
"O-Ok, I think that should d-d-do it," Milt said, as she moved her bra out of the way, allowing her nipples, which were the size of large soup cans when fully erect, some freedom. She then stood up, and leaned over the milk cans, blushing as she looked into her fiancé's eyes, "I-I really did enjoy that massage, Lincoln. I don't normally allow just anyone to touch my boobies."
"Y-You're most welcome, Milt. And now, for the final part," Lincoln said, blushing as well. He then traced his hands across Milt's boobs, gingerly pointing her nipples to just inside the milk cans. Milt shook and quivered as he did so, "Alright, I'm going to apply a little pressure. Let me know if it starts to hurt, alright?"
"O-Ok," Milt replied, as Lincoln gently squeezed both nipples. Almost instantly, streams of milk began to gush out. Milt moaned and whimpered as Lincoln continued to milk her like a cow.
"Wow, I had no idea you'd flow this much so easily!" Lincoln commented.
"Y-Y-Yeah," Milt was hardly able to even speak with how much pleasure was racing through her body. She loved the feeling of all the milk leaving her boobs. Soon, they had to swap out the two milk cans they were using since Milt had filled up the first two cans.
"Do you always give off this much milk?" Lincoln asked.
"N-No… This is the first time I've ever had to use the extra cans for my milk. I think that massage you gave me is causing more milk than I've ever produced to flow out," Milt replied, as Lincoln continued to milk her. She felt herself being almost empty, as Lincoln gave one last tug of her nipples, causing the last of the milk to flow out. Milt fell backwards, panting and blushing from the experience.
"Wow, four whole cans worth of milk! That's her personal best!" Verosika commented, as she and Lincoln started to put lids on each of the milk cans, "So, do you want to have a taste of Milt's milk before we close them up?" she asked, holding a small cup.
"Is it really alright to do that? Isn't there some kind of law or custom about that?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, there is, as far as sucking on her boobs directly. Apart from babies, the only ones allowed to suck on a Dairy Breed Minotaur's boobs are the men that they most trust and love. It's basically the same as getting some action under the sheets. But if you drink milk from them AFTER they got milked like how you did, then it's alright," Verosika replied, as she scooped up some milk, before trying to hand the cup to Lincoln, who still looked unsure about this.
"Milt, would it be alright if I had a taste of your milk? I get the gist what Verosika just said, but I'd feel better if I know I have your consent," Lincoln asked Milt, as she readjusted her bra back over her nipples.
"I-I have no issue with it, Lincoln. But I would like something in exchange for allowing you to do this," Milt replied.
"Like what in particular?" Lincoln asked, but an inkling in his mind told him an idea of what Milt had in mind, especially based on the blush she had on her face. And his inkling was proven true with what Milt said next.
"I-I want a k-k-kiss… on the lips."
"Well, you certainly have good taste in what you want. And I can tell you from experience, Lincoln's great at kissing!" Verosika stated.
"W-Well, if that's all you want, then I suppose I could do that. After all, we'll all have to kiss someday," Lincoln replied. Milt, not needing any encouragement, quickly grabbed hold of Lincoln by his shirt, and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Lincoln couldn't help but think he saw hearts in Milt's eyes. After what felt like half an hour, they broke away, panting all the while.
"Wow, my first kiss, and with such a great guy too!" Milt exclaimed happily.
"What did I say? Lincoln's great at kissing," Verosika replied.
"Well, Milt is pretty good at it too," Lincoln commented, getting back up.
"And you did give her what she wanted, so here's your end of the deal," Verosika said, giving Lincoln the cup of milk.
"Well, alrighty then," Lincoln said, as he took a sip of the milk. Upon tasting it, he was surprised at how sweet and creamy it was, "Wow, this really is delicious!" he exclaimed, as Verosika came over and had a cup of milk herself.
"Mmm, you're right! But I think it's a lot richer than normal," she commented.
"'Richer than normal'? Is something like that unusual?" Lincoln asked.
"Not exactly. Each and every Dairy Breed Monster has a unique texture to the milk that they produce. Some are more watery feeling than others, while others, like Milt, produce milk that has a very creamy texture to it. But no matter the texture, they all have a very high nutritional value to it. But Milt's milk is especially nutritious, which is why she's so popular among new mothers who want their children to grow up big and strong. And given that her milk, like all other Dairy Breeds, don't have any lactose in them, they're easy for those with lactose intolerance to drink, not to mention it's easy for babies to drink since it just flows down their throats," Verosika explained.
"Ok, but what does any of that have to do with how rich her milk is?" Lincoln asked, taking another sip.
"Well, a Dairy Breed's diet has a lot to do with the flavoring of the milk. That's why most of them don't drink alcohol, since they tend to take great pride and care into their milk. In fact, their diets mostly consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as foods with high protein and nutritional value. They even eat a lot of sweet things like honey or ice cream to help with making their milk taste more appetizing," Verosika explained.
"It's true, Lincoln. Since I'm not a Warrior Breed Minotaur like my mother, I can eat anything I want to help my milk taste better," Milt added.
"Really? Your mother has to watch what she eats since she's a Warrior Breed? Come to think of it, I haven't met Loona's mother either," Lincoln commented.
"Well, both of our moms have been away on important business trips in different parts of the Monster Realm. Last we heard from our dads, they should be home within two days or so," Milt replied, as she used her amulet to stash away the milk cans.
"Oh, cool. Maybe I'll be able to meet them after the Fuchsia Gym. So, what's your mother like, Milt?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, she's the undefeated Champion of the Labyrinth Arena, the strongest of all Warrior Breed Minotaurs. She's super strong, but also super nice too. And much like Daddy, she can be a bit overprotective of me. In fact, she kept me from joining the other Minotaurs that chose to become warriors in order to keep me out of harm's way. Of course, I never really wanted to become a warrior anyway, but they did give me some heavy weapons to defend myself if the need ever arises," Milt explained.
"And she isn't kidding about the heavy weapons, Lincoln. Those things weigh like 500 tons each!" Verosika exclaimed, as she and Lincoln finished their milk.
"Well, I guess that's one thing to be happy about having that Ultra Strength skill, right?" Lincoln asked, as they began walking back into town.
"That's right! Though, since they are large and kind of hard to carry around, I only ever take one out when I need to, while keeping the others in my Pocket Amulet," Milt replied.
"Is that what that is? A Pocket Amulet?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes. I suppose you could say that it's actually a gateway to a pocket dimension that Monsters use to store items in, such as potions, weapons, materials, those sorts of things. Better Amulets have a much larger holding space than others," Verosika replied.
"It's kind of like your backpack, how it can store stuff like your bike and whatnot," Milt added.
"Of course, there are some rules to using them. Larger objects, much like Milt's weapons or those milk cans, take up a lot of space, so we have to be mindful of what we put in them and how much we put in," Verosika explained.
"Yeah, that does kind of make sense," Lincoln commented, as they neared the Pokemon Center, "But back to our original topic on Milt's milk, I think it could have something to do with the food here in Kanto."
"What do you mean?" Verosika asked.
"The food here is much higher in terms of nutritional value than anything we had back in the states, or what they could have in Japan. That could affect how Milt's milk tasted so rich. After all, you've seen how some of the women here in Kanto are more… developed than the women back in the States, right?" Lincoln asked.
"Hmm, it is true that food with higher nutritional values do have a significant impact on a Dairy Breed's milk," Milt mused, as they entered the Pokemon Center grounds, where the others were all sitting on a bench, taking in the night sky.
"The night sky is so beautiful here. I can see all kinds of stuff up there," Octavia commented. It was then that Loona noticed the returning trio.
"Well, we were wondering where you three danced off to! Let me guess, getting in some face time?" she asked.
"N-No! Well, not exactly," Lincoln replied.
"Oh? What does that mean then?" Vaggie asked. Verosika stepped in.
"Girls, could you give it a rest? Lincoln was just helping us out with something. Can't you just leave it at that?" she asked.
"Well, we did have something of a long day, so let's not dwell on it and just relax," Charlie suggested, agreeing with Verosika's words.
"That sounds nice. After all, moments like these don't come around very often," Misty replied.
"Right, especially with how active Team Rocket's been lately," Brock added.
"On an unrelated note, Lincoln, would it be alright if we came to watch the Pokemon Contest tomorrow?" Miu asked.
"That would be appreciated, Miu. I'd love to have you girls here to cheer me on," Lincoln replied.
"With all that talk about that Celadon Contest from last time, we're curious about this it as well," Charlie stated.
"Well, come tomorrow, and I'll try to earn my second ribbon," Lincoln replied, before remembering something, "Oh, that reminds me! Could any of you girls help me out with asking Blitz and them to train the Kovaks?"
"Not to worry, Lincoln. Blitz may be a bit impulsive, but he IS a professional. But we'll still come with you to talk to him," Charlie replied.
"Thanks Charlie. I really appreciate it," Lincoln replied.
The next day, at the Contest Hall,
"The quiet, whispering winds of this peaceful valley can only mean one thing! The time for the Stone Town Toughness Division Pokemon Contest has come at long last! I'm your emcee for this event, Lillian! And let's not forget our esteemed panel of judges! First is the Head of the Pokemon Contest Committee, Mr. Contesta! Next is the President of the Pokemon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo, and last, but not least, it's Stone Town's very own Nurse Joy! And for those who are unfamiliar with how Pokemon Contests work, events such as these are divided into two rounds! First, is the Appeals Round, where coordinators have to show off their Pokemon in as flashy a way as possible, followed by the Battle Round. The eight coordinators that make it through the Appeals Round will battle it out while also showing off their Pokemon as well. The coordinator that makes it past both rounds will earn this prestigious Toughness Division Ribbon, which is one of the five minimum ribbons required to enter the Pokemon Contest Grand Festival! So, let's not wait any longer, lets bring out our first coordinator! You're up!" Lillian announced, as the first coordinator took the stage.
"Go, Pinsir!" he said, sending out a Pinsir, which appeared in an array of lightning shaped effects. Meanwhile, from a nearby hallway, Misty, Brock, and the others were watching the proceedings.
"Ok, so first up is showing off the Pokemon, followed by battling. Lincoln didn't mess around with his explanation," Vaggie commented.
"That's right. And all coordinators are judged based on how well the judges thought they showed off their Pokemon," Brock explained, as the first Coordinator scored a 24.5, "See? Just like that."
"Better performances get way more points, naturally," Misty added, as coordinator after coordinator gave their performances, including;
A Pokemon that looked like an alligator snapping turtle biting through a steel beam.
A large, purple scorpion like Pokemon firing Pin Missile into the air.
An anteater Pokemon surrounding itself with flames.
A larger, bipedal purple Pokemon with a long horn and large, almost round, spikey ears.
"Looks like Lincoln's got some stiff competition this time around," Brock commented.
"And now for our next entry, it's that rising star in the Kanto Pokemon League Circuit, Lincoln Loud!" Lillian proclaimed, as now it was finally Lincoln's turn. Large stacks of tiles were being raised from the floor, as well as a steel beam being lowered from above.
"Alright, Kingler, you're up!" Lincoln exclaimed, sending out Kingler, who appeared in a ball of orange flames, "Lets start off with a Vice Grip!" Lincoln proclaimed. Kingler then used its large claw to take hold of the steel beam, and with tremendous force, sliced right through it.
"Amazing! That large claw of Kingler's is always known for packing a real wallop, but we're seeing just how powerful a Vice Grip can be!"
"Alright, now, use Crabhammer on the tiles!" Lincoln called out, as Kingler leapt up, and smashed each stack of tiles completely with Crabhammer.
"And now we're witnessing the Crabhammer attack, and what power! It completely obliterated each stack of tils with ease! Let's hear what our judges have to say!"
"Lincoln did an excellent job in showing off just how much power Kingler has behind its claw," Mr. Contesta stated, giving him a score of 9.6.
"Remarkable power!" Mr. Sukizo added, giving a score of 9.4.
"Ordinarily, Kingler's large claw is more of a burden to it outside of battle, so that performance showed the kind of impact it can have during battle," Nurse Joy said, scoring a 9.8. This gave Lincoln a score of 28.8.
"And with 28.8 points, Lincoln is now in the top spot!" Lillian proclaimed.
"Nice work, Kingler!" Lincoln said, praising Kingler.
"Alright, so now Lincoln gets to move onto the next round?" Octavia asked.
"Seeing as how there are only two more coordinators, I'd say he's golden," Misty replied.
"And now, for our next entry, it's Donnovan from Lilycove City!" Lillian said, as, much to the group's surprise, the same man from the Hot Springs walked out.
"Whoa, never thought he'd be a coordinator," Lincoln commented, as he went back to the dressing room.
"Cacturne, to my side!" Donnovan said, sending out a Pokemon that could easily be considered a cross between a scarecrow and a cactus. Lincoln, upon reaching the Dressing Room, scanned Donnovan's Pokemon.
" Cacturne, the Scarecrow Pokemon, a Grass and Dark Type first discovered in the Hoenn Region. Being nocturnal, Cacturne seeks out prey that have become exhausted from the desert's heat. It does not move during the day as a means to avoid losing moisture," Dexter explained.
"Start off with Sandstorm!" Cacturne then whipped up a sandstorm, which filled the entire stage, "Now, Cotton Spore and Shadow Ball!" Cacturne then fired off spores from its mouth that began to ride the sandstorm, along with several Shadow Balls, "Now, fire at them with Pin Missile!" Cacturne then fired off Pin Missile at the spores and Shadow Balls, skewering each of them with ease, while also dissipating the Sandstorm.
"Quite the straightforward performance from Donnovan! Let's see what the Judges thought!" Lillian declared.
"That Sandstorm showed that Cacturne truly deserves to be called a desert dwelling Pokemon," Mr. Contesta stated, giving a score of 8.7.
"Yes, not to mention remarkable," Mr. Sukizo said, giving a score of 8.9.
"The accuracy it had in firing down those Cotton Spores and Shadow Balls shows that it must've have truly extensive training," Nurse Joy said, giving a score of 9.4, giving Donnovan a final score of 27 points.
"This guy's not too shabby. Lincoln might have his work cut out for him if he battles against him," Misty commented.
"That Cacturne definitely reminded me of some desert dwelling monsters we've encountered," Charlie commented, shivering from how creepy Cacturne looked, as did the others.
"And now, for our last entrant, it's Coordinator Jessica!" Lillian announced, as Jessie, in the same disguise as she wore during the Celadon Contest, sauntered out on stage.
"Let's get this show on the road! Whiscash, game on!" Jessie said, as she sent out Whiscash, "Let's start off with a Mud Sport!" Whiscash began hurling mud all over the stage, "Now, use Muddy Water!" Whiscash then summoned a torrent of muddy water, which picked up the Mud Sport from before, "Now, let's wrap this up with Earthquake!" Whiscash then slammed into the spiraling water, causing it to quiver and shake, which somehow caused it to harden, with Whiscash landing on top of the muddy formation.
"And with that, Whiscash finishes its performance by landing on top of those three attacks! What will the judges think of that performance?" Lillian questioned.
"Jessica did an excellent job of showcasing Whiscash's Water and Ground type characteristics," Mr. Contesta stated, giving a score of 8.6.
"Yes, quite remarkable," Mr. Sukizo commented, giving a score of 8.4.
"Whiscash is known for causing Earthquakes, and this performance showed just how much power one can potentially have," Nurse Joy said, giving a score of 8.9, giving Jessie a score of 25.9.
"And with that, we've reached the end of the appeals round! We'll take a break so that our computers can determine the matchups of these eight lucky coordinators moving onto the Battle Round," Lillian declared, as the images of the eight finalists came on the big jumbotron, which included Lincoln, Donnovan, and Jessie.
"Well, since Lincoln had the highest score, he was bound to get in, right?" Loona asked.
"That's right. Let's go and check in on him," Misty suggested, as they went backstage.
Meanwhile, in Minister Taur's Office,
Taur was talking to someone with a crystal ball. The monster in question was a very large, very muscular Minotaur woman. She had long, blonde hair, and red fur on her legs. She was wearing heavy armor around her body, "So, our daughter has been engaged to some human?" she asked.
"Indeed. The boy in question is a remarkably intelligent young man, and resourceful too. It's clear that Milt's taken a liking to him," Taur replied.
"I see. Well, I'll have to see just what kind of a boy he is. Speaking of our daughter, where is she? I figured she'd be here talking to me along with you?"
"She and the other princesses that are engaged to the boy are currently in the Human Realm, taking in some kind of Contest that's going on there," Taur replied.
"Oh hum, and I was so looking to speaking with Milt again."
"Well, we can always surprise her when you get back. By the way, Lilianna, Stella, Elanor, Rasha, and the others have all been invited over to take part in some kind of safari the boy is going to be attending in a few days. Perhaps that'll be the day you and Cecilia can meet him?" Taur suggested.
"I suppose you have a point. Does he have a way of communicating with us in the Monster Realm?"
"Actually, yes. Lilianna gave him one of her amulets to stay in touch with his fiancés here in the Monster Realm, Milt included. Once he calls Milt, she can relay the message to you and you and the others can go and visit him," Taur explained.
"Hmm, so he's interested Lilianna enough for her to give him one of her amulets, huh? This is most interesting. What's the boy's name?"
"His name's Lincoln Loud, the son, or rather, the ex-son of Lynn Loud. There was a bit of a falling out between him, his father, and two of his ten sisters," Taur replied.
"Ten sisters?! Are the like wererabbits or something?!"
"That's what we all thought too. But no, they're purely human. The mother of the boy is just that strong willed, much like you are," Taur replied.
" Well, in any case, I'll still accompany the others to that Safari that you told me about. I should be home sometime tomorrow."
"We're looking forward to having you back home, my dear Jellisa," Taur said, as the transmission cut out, leaving Taur to the silence of his office once more.
Back at the Contest Hall, Coordinator Waiting Room,
"That was quite the show you gave, Lincoln," Miu said, as she and the others were sitting alongside Lincoln in the dressing room.
"Thanks. I'm just glad I was able to show off Kingler the way I did," Lincoln said, clutching Kingler's Pokeball.
"Still, the other coordinators that made the cut are going to be tough. You remember the rules about Mega Evolution during the Contest, right?" Brock asked.
"Yes. I can only use it once per Contest, so I should only use it in the direst of circumstances," Lincoln replied.
"So, what does Mega Lucario look like?" Charlie asked, curious about Lucario's Mega Evolution. Just then, the monitor came on.
"Well, looks like you'll have to wait and see for yourself," Lincoln said, as they turned their attention to the screen.
"And we're back! And after a random shuffle of the cards, these are the eight match ups for the second round!" Lilian announced, as the tournament brackets were displayed. Lincoln was in the second round, Jessie in the third round, and Donnovan in the fourth and final round.
"Ok, so it looks like I'm going to be in the second bracket," Lincoln stated, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Even though you did place first in the Appeals Stage, it doesn't seem fair that you got put in the last one," Milt commented.
"Well, it was done by a random shuffle, so there was no way of guaranteeing I would be in the first round. Besides, this gives me an opportunity to check out what those other two coordinators before me have in store in case I have to battle any of them," Lincoln replied, as they returned to the hallway they were in before, as the battling got underway.
The first round had a Rhydon taking down an Electivire in one Double Edge attack.
The second round had Lincoln and Lucario battling and winning against a Pokemon that could be described a literal living pile of garbage.
Jessie, along with James' Sawk battled and won against a massive, bipedal, grey colored Pokemon with iron like armor.
Donnovan's Pokemon, which could be described as a bipedal, man-sized lizard Pokemon with flame like patterns, had just taken down a Golem with almost no trouble.
In the second round, Lincoln and Lucario's battle with a Machamp came to an end with a resounding victory for the pair, leaving Jessie and Donnovan to battle against one another. Lincoln scanned Donnovan's Pokemon.
"Magmar, the Spitfire Pokemon, a Fire Type first discovered in the Kanto Region. When it's tired, it dives into the mouth of a volcano and soaks its body in magma to ease its weariness. Its body burns at a temperature of 2,192 Degrees Fahrenheit," Dexter explained.
"No matter who you go up against, it'll be a rough battle," Brock commented.
"How so?" Miu asked.
"See, Lucario's a Steel Type, which is weak to Fire and Fighting Type moves. Of course, that's not to say that Lucario will go down without a fight," Brock explained.
"Sawk, use Close Combat!" Jessie called out. Sawk then charged straight at Magmar, and began dealing powerful blow after blow, costing Donnovan some major points. However, Sawk appeared to have burst into flames afterwards.
"And that's another thing you'll have to watch out for; Magmar's Flame Body ability. It can sometimes inflict burn status if Lucario makes contact," Brock added.
"Now Magmar, use Fire Spin!" Donnovan ordered. Magmar then breathed a swirl of fire around Sawk, damaging it in the process, "Now, back-to-back Fire Punches!" Magmar then dove into the Fire Spin and began punching away at Sawk, which cost Jessie the last of her points.
"And that's it! Jessica has run out of points! So, moving onto the final round to take on Lincoln Loud will be Donnovan! That battle will be happening in just a little bit, so don't go anywhere!" Lilian said, as Jessie and Donnovan collected their Pokemon and vacated the stage.
"So, how are you going to deal with Magmar?" Charlie asked.
"Well, with Flame Body, my best bet would be to keep my distance as much as I can. Of course, if I have to get in close, I can always make use of Bone Rush," Lincoln replied.
"Right! Since Bone Rush is a Ground Type Move, it'll be perfect against Magmar," Misty stated, just as they were approached by Donnovan.
"I've been watching your journey as a trainer on the news, Lincoln. I know you're not going to be an easy opponent for me or Magmar," Donnovan stated.
"And the way you battle shows me that you won't make things easy for either me or Lucario," Lincoln stated back.
"Even so, I plan on leaving out of here with the Toughness Ribbon to add to my collection," Donnovan said, showing his Ribbon Case, which had three ribbons, one pink, one green, and one red.
"Whoa, you've got three of them?" Lincoln questioned.
"That's right. And I know you only have one ribbon, which means you're still pretty new to the Contest World," Donnovan said, before walking away.
"Well, he's… rather straightforward with his words," Lincoln commented, unsure how to feel about Donnovan.
"He certainly seems… focused, that's for sure," Verosika commented. Soon, it was time for the final battle to get underway, with both Lincoln and Donnovan standing on opposite ends of the battlefield.
"We're now down to our last two coordinators! On my left, it's Lincoln Loud! On my right, it's Donnovan! The rules are the same as all the previous matches, with a five-minute timer for both trainers to battle their opponent while whittling down their points as much as possible! The one with the most points or whoever is left standing will be declared the winner! Now then, trainers, bring out your Pokemon and begin!" Lilian said, as the timer started.
"Lucario, go!" Lincoln said, sending out Lucario, who appeared with a lightning effect from the ball capsule.
"Magmar, battle formation!" Donnovan said, sending out his Magmar, who appeared in a ball of blue flames.
"Alright Lucario, let's keep our distance the best we can! Let's start strong with Aura Sphere!" Lincoln called out. Lucario formed and hurled Aura Sphere at Magmar. This caused Donnovan to lose some points.
"Quick, use Lava Plume to defend!" Donnovan called out. Magmar then summoned an explosion of volcanic flames that blocked the Aura Sphere. This caused Lincoln to lose more points.
"And with quick thinking, Magmar has blocked Aura Sphere with Lava Plume! What a show of power!" Lillian announced.
"Alright, now for offense! Magmar, use Flamethrower!" Magmar then blasted off a red hot Flamethrower attack, costing Lincoln some more points.
"Quick Lucario, block with Bone Rush!" Lucario summoned a glowing bone, and twirled it around like a baton, blocking the Flamethrower. This move ended up costing Donnovan some more points, dropping him to below half.
"Just what I expected. Magmar, use Fire Spin!" Magmar then fired off Fire Spin, trapping Lucario in the vortex as soon as it was done with Bone Rush. Lincoln lost more points, dropping to below half as well, "Alright, now to keep up the pressure! Magmar, use Fire Blast!" Magmar then fired off a flaming star at Lucario, which dealt more damage to Lincoln's Points.
"Don't count on that working! Lucario, Force Palm on the ground!" Lucario blasted the ground it was standing on with Force Palm, sending it flying upwards, avoiding the Fire Blast, which also destroyed Fire Spin. This move nearly dropped Donnovan's points to less than a quarter of the original value, "Let's finish this right away!" Lincoln said, brandishing his Mega Ring.
"Oh my, could this be…?!" Lillian exclaimed, as Lincoln tapped his Key Stone.
"Now's the time, Lucario! Mega Evolve!" he called, as Lucario was enveloped in the pink sphere of energy. Once released, Lucario was revealed to have longer aura feelers, longer, fluffier yellow fur, and longer spikes on its hands and feet. Lucario swung its hands, sending a powerful shockwave throughout the arena. Audience members were nearly swept out of their seats.
"Whoa, is that the power of Mega Lucario?" Verosika asked.
"That's right. Its Aura has gotten much stronger as a result of Mega Evolution. Lincoln must be feeling some pressure if he's whipping it out now," Brock replied.
"Keep your guard up, Magmar! Lucario's a lot stronger now!" Donnovan warned.
"That's right! And we're going to put everything we've got into one last attack! Lucario, use Aura Sphere!" Lincoln called out. Lucario once again formed Aura Sphere, but it was a bit larger than the one before.
"We'll pin our hopes on one last move too! Magmar, use Overheat!" Donnovan called out. Magmar then began to give off intense heat, as a ball of molten fire formed at its mouth. Both Pokemon fired off their attacks, which collided with one another, but Aura Sphere managed to pierce through, and strike Magmar, sending it down to defeat, as well as losing Donnovan all his points.
"And that's it! Magmar is unable to battle, which means the winner of the Stone Town Toughness Division Pokemon Contest is Lincoln Loud and Lucario!" Lillian declared, as the audience cheered loudly.
"He won!" Charlie squealed happily.
"That was intense!" Octavia commented, as Lucario reverted back to normal, before collapsing to the ground.
"You did great, Lucario! You handled your Mega Evolution well in that battle!" Lincoln praised.
"Yeah, but Lapis wasn't kidding. Mega Evolution really takes it out of you," Lucario panted, as Donnovan approached Magmar.
"Your battling was spot on, Magmar. We'll just have to train some more for the next time," he said, recalling the Spitfire Pokemon, before leaving the stage. Mr. Contesta and the other Judges approached Lincoln with the tray holding the spoils of his victory; The Toughness Division Ribbon.
"That was a most excellent performance, just like last time, young man. Please accept this Ribbon as proof of your victory," Mr. Contesta said.
"Thank you so much, sir!" Lincoln replied, accepting the Ribbon, before remembering, "Oh yeah! The Egg that Mr. Sukizo gave me hatched the other day. It was an Eevee."
"Well, isn't that just remarkable?" Mr. Sukizo asked, feeling happy that the egg had hatched.
"And with that, we come to the end of another exciting Pokemon Contest! We hope to see you all again at the next one!" Lillian announced.
Later, back at the Pokemon Center,
Lincoln had just put his new Yellow Ribbon in his Ribbon Case, "Nice! Just three more to go!" he exclaimed, feeling proud of himself and his Pokemon.
"Are all ribbons the different colors of the Contest Divisions?" Milt asked.
"Most likely, they are. You remember Veruca's Case, right? She had a Pink Ribbon along with a blue one. And Donnovan had pink, green, and red ones. So, it stands to reason that the Coolness Contest in Sunny Town will have a Red Ribbon as a prize," Lincoln replied.
"That makes sense," Milt commented.
"Speaking of, how long do you think it'll take for you to get to this 'Sunny Town' place?" Gwendolyn asked.
"According to the Eevee Brothers, there's a tunnel that connects Stone Town directly to Sunny Town that cuts straight through Evolution Mountain. So, I'd say, roughly a day," Brock replied, looking at the map of the general area around Stone Town.
"Well, in any case, we should get back to the Monster Realm. We only have permission to be in the Human Realm to go dates with Lincoln for up to two days at a time," Charlie stated.
"We understand, Charlie. It was nice seeing all of you again," Misty replied.
"Comment agreed. And Lincoln? You don't have to worry about the Kovaks. We'll talk to Blitz and them to have them start training the Kovaks as soon as we can talk to them. And since you've decided on that Pokemon Ranch in Fuchsia City will be the day you'll hang out with them, they can discuss the payment plans with you then," Octavia said.
"And I'll see if my mom will allow them to stay at our place during their stay," Verosika added.
"That'd be much appreciated, Verosika. Thank you," Lincoln said, as Charlie opened the Portal to the Monster Realm.
"Well, hopefully the next time we all get to hang out like this, it'll be soon," Charlie said, as she and the others passed through the portal, which closed as soon as Charlie entered.
"Ok, now that I've gotten my Ribbon, we can start heading to Sunny Town, right?" Lincoln asked.
"That's right. We'll head out first thing in the morning," Brock replied.
"So, any idea on who you'll use in the next Contest?" Misty asked.
"I'm thinking Gengar for the Appeals Round, and Inferna in the Battle Round," Lincoln replied.
"Hmm, can't wait to see what you have planned for that lineup," Brock commented.
Meanwhile, in a remote forest clearing just outside of Royal Woods,
The five Team Rocket airships had just touched down in a clearing in the middle of the thickest part of the forest. The ships opened up, allowing the Team Rocket Members to exit, "Alright Grunts! Let's get camp set up, and go over our gameplan!" Petrel ordered, as the Grunts, including Proton and Alexander, proceeded to start setting up their tents. Petrel took a moment to take a look out over the peaceful hamlet of Royal Woods, "Heh, nice place that kid has for a home! I think this'll do nicely as the first of many places we'll conquer after all the other regions!" he cackled maliciously.
"Sir? We're done with setting up camp," one of the Grunts said.
"Excellent! Now, let's go over how we're going to do this!" Petrel said, as the grunts all listened to Petrel's plan.
Sorry for the delay, you guys. Had some trouble finding ways to beef up this chapter, y'know? Anyhow, now that Lincoln's got his Toughness Division Ribbon, he and his friends are going to be headed for Sunny Town next for the Coolness Division. This'll happen the day after their arrival in town. But I have another chapter to put in between this and that one.
Anyhow, time for a Trivia Question! This time, the prize is deciding on nicknames for Sceptile, Lucario, Dragonite, Mawile, Gyarados, and Absol! Remember to have your choices in list format, and with what Pokemon you want to have what nickname. Anyhow, here's the question:
In order, what were the Pokemon described during the Contest?
