I really need to figure out how to make line break paragraphs.
The Astra Vessel sailed through the clouds. Ash, Misty, Brock, Nessa, Bea, and Goh looked through the front windows to see the world below. All of them were amazed by the sights and sounds around them while they traveled at high speeds across these vast lands below.
The sky was clear with no sign of any storms approaching them. The interior of the Astra Vessel was also made to cater perfectly to multiple people as everyone began checking out the rooms inside.
"Check it out!" Ash called out from the top deck, causing everyone to turn their heads towards him curiously. He was currently standing behind a wooden wheel that was located in the center of this deck and had several buttons on either side of him. There were also a bunch of levers scattered about as well.
"Wow! A Aurlight Control Console!" Misty exclaimed happily while admiring this sight before herself currently. "This is amazing! Now we can steer the ship ourselves without relying on some pilot."
"These rooms...!" Nessa viewed the rooms that catered to luxury and comfort, having her eyes sparkle brightly. The rooms were vast and spacious with a bed that could easily fit two people, and they were even equipped with a bathroom, a closet, and a desk. "I feel like a princess!"
Of course, there were rooms for their Pokemon as well, and the ship itself had an infinity engine and a large infinity battery that could power the ship for eternity.
"I've never seen a vessel so grandiose." Goh was also impressed, staring at the room he was staying in.
"This is perfect!" Ash exclaimed happily as he turned towards the front window where the sea was visible below them. The waves were calm, and the weather was nice too.
"I never thought that one day, I'd travel by airship, especially with the Star Champion and his group." Nessa giggled while twirling around on the deck floor playfully before coming to a stop beside Brock.
"Yeah, same. I'm so glad we got to meet each other. I was really worried when we met in the Coliseum." Brock revealed, recalling his encounter with Ash. "For Misty and I, As Pokemon Lords, we can get around easily and help others more than we ever have. And we can be heroes for the people too."
"We'll continue our duty as Pokemon Lords and assist the people of the empire." Misty nodded, proud of the work they did. "Though, the Empire's been doing better. It's just that, with the constant expansion and whatnot, we gotta do more and more."
"Expansion?" Ash was unfamiliar with this term, so it piqued his curiosity. "What do you mean?"
"Well, the Empire was already powerful. But now, the Emperor wants to expand the boundaries of the empire and claim new lands. This is why I say that the Emperor is greedy." Misty revealed to the group. "We've been doing a lot of work to protect the people and make sure nothing bad happens. The expansion means we gotta patrol the areas constantly and ensure no one gets hurt or dies from this."
"Who's this Emperor anyway? The one who rules the entire world itself?" Bea curiously asked.
"That's the thing. No one knows." Misty replied. "No one has ever met him or even seen his face. We all know he exists, but his face and even his name are unknown. The only ones who might have seen him are the ones who serve him, and those who aren't allowed to reveal their faces."
"That's odd..."
"He's a complete mystery and he gives me the chills, honestly. I haven't even seen him once and he's creepy." Mist shuddered a little. "I'm a bit spooked to come across him one day."
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, let's enjoy the air and the sights. And then, it's right off to our next location. I'll try and sense for trouble."
"Well, I'm selecting one of these rooms as my own. I'd suggest some of you start claiming." Nessa walked off, already finding the room she would love to stay in. Everyone started wandering the Astra Vessel, making themselves comfortable and selecting rooms to stay in.
Ash, on the other hand, chose to stay up on the deck, keeping watch of the sky and ocean. Pikachu watched as well while on his shoulder, his cheeks sparking excitedly.
They managed to settle in eventually. Misty, Bea and Nessa found themselves having another bath once more, taking in the ship's waters that were magically made to be always hot. They would enjoy their time in the bathtub and talk. Mainly about having such a vessel to themselves and how this would allow them to travel faster and easier.
But as they were conversing about the ship, someone else had entered to join in. None other than Sabrina, already undressed and ready for a nice soak.
"A warm bath is the best." Sabrina's nude form was exposed for all the others to see, though she didn't seem to mind their stares at all. She lowered herself into the tub, feeling the soothing hot water instantly relieving her body of any stresses she was feeling before this moment.
Misty watched as Sabrina slipped her slender frame beneath the water, sighing contentedly. Her cheeks reddened a little as she glanced towards Sabrina's naked breasts that bobbed atop the surface. They looked full and plump with nipples that stood out prominently against their soft roundness.
"You all...I...want to apologize for my attitude towards you all the other night." Sabrina looked down, ashamed of herself for her previous actions. "I downplayed you all, insulting you all because I saw you unfit to be with the Star Champion."
"U-Unfit?" Misty stuttered a bit, realizing that Sabrina was talking about that from a romantic standpoint.
"I do not personally know you, so I was in no place to speak to you in such a way. I...did not want you all to think I was ungrateful, so please accept my apology."
"It's fine, Sabrina. It's just the first impression." Nessa spoke. "And hey, I'm glad you apologized."
"Thank you." Sabrina sighed in relief before relaxing again in the hot water, enjoying its soothing warmth. "However, I still see you all as unfit at the moment. That's not an insult, but rather, I have a feeling there's something deeper about you all."
"I could say the same to you." Nessa smirked. "If anything, after that battle, I doubt you'll really get your wish with the Star Champion for a while."
Sabrina raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Is that so? I don't see what you're trying to imply. The Star Champion will have many chances to get closer to me. And once that happens, the next generation of Psyorgs will begin. For the rest of you, even after what I said, I still see that you do not have the drive to be forward with the Star Champion. It will take more than simple flirting."
"Hmph." Nessa's eye twitched. "Well, this is just a hunch if you ask me...but I'd say if I had the opportunity to be with the Star Champion, I'd pull it off better than you. There's a good balance on being forward and your way sure isn't it."
"That's funny, but I wouldn't bet on it." Sabrina gave her remark, her left eye twitching.
"Hey, ladies..." Misty tried calming the situation. "We're all on the same team here, aren't we?"
"Hoh?" Nessa would stand along with Sabrina, their bodies dripping with the soapy bathwater.
"I've got a question for you. Do you really believe that the Star Champion will actually take notice of a girl like yourself, who has no experience whatsoever?" Sabrina taunted.
Nessa smirked, looking at the girl's chest, noticing the size was the same as hers, yet she couldn't help but smirk a bit. "What are you implying, Sabrina?"
"You tell me."
"Why, I believe the Star Champion is capable of seeing past your outer shell and instead will fall in love with you on the inside. The one who shows the most passion."
Sabrina chuckled softly. "Passion? Please, that word doesn't exist. Besides, how can someone like you say that you're passionate when you have no experience? The only experience you've had was that one night you spent together. That doesn't count for anything, really. I've heard it all. A few minutes alone with him and you already have an attitude? Tsk tsk.
Misty sighed, knowing what was about to happen. This would result in the girls beginning to bicker at each other, arguing over who was the better woman and who should have the Star Champion. Bea didn't really have that much of an opinion on this. But in her mind, she thought to herself about something.
"M-Maybe becoming more of a woman for the Star Champion will boost my strength?" She mumbled under her breath while glancing towards the naked Nessa and Sabrina currently arguing amongst each other. Her cheeks burned slightly as she thought deeply about it.
She then turned her head toward Misty.
"I'd rather not get involved." Misty sighed.
But as they were arguing, in the distance, the Astra Vessel suddenly picked up something on its radar. It was a small dot, but as it came closer, the radar was indicating it to be a larger ship.
"Hmm? What is that?" Ash was curious, looking through the binoculars, he could see something approaching the vessel, and it was growing bigger and bigger as time passed. "What is that? Are those...?"
"What is it?" Brock called out, rushing up from below the deck to see Ash standing at the helm, gazing through a set of binoculars. "What is that?!" He looked through them too, seeing what appeared to be a fleet of airships coming their way.
The ship had a flag with a symbol on it. And that symbol was the skull of a Dragonite.
"Hm! Dragons!" Brock realized, and Ash was confused. "Star Champion, the pirate's symbol is the Dragonite skull. The flag, the symbol, the color! That's it, the DragonsPirates are approaching us!"
"Dragon Pirates?"
"An infamous Pirate Crew. They aren't affiliated with the Auravale Empire or even us whatsoever, making them completely rogue. That right there is one of their fleets it appears..." Brock explained.
"Wow! Dragon Pirates sounds so cool!" Ash loved the name of this crew. It just sounded that interesting to him, even if they were potentially hostile. "But are they gonna attack us?"
"9 times out of 10? Yes. They tend to steal from both sides frequently. Especially their Captain. Iris. But it doesn't seem like this is their main fleet. Just another fleet of theirs. But just another fleet can be dangerous."
"Alright then. Let's try and talk with them." Ash opted to do that rather than fight. Brock wasn't oppossed to that. He'd hate for the Astra Vessel to suffer damage so early into its run.
The fleet of Dragon Pirates approached the Astra Vessel and would start boarding the ship. Soon, dozens of pirates came onto the ship. Ash and the others watched them closely, and the captain of the fleet herself arrived.
The captain was an attractive woman with brown skin, brown eyes and incredibly long purple hair She wore an open white robe, revealing her large breasts. The bottom of her robe was also open, exposing only her black panties and thigh-high boots. On top of her head, she wore a golden crown with two green gems in it.
The pirate's name was Iris.
"Oya oya! Get a gander at that ship in the distance, you all?" The purple-haired pirate woman spoke cheerfully, her hips swaying a bit. "No doubt about it...That's an Astra Vessel! How exciting!" She exclaimed with a giggle, and the rest of her crew followed suit.
"It's been a long while since we last stole from those guys, but this looks like the real deal." A muscular man with short white hair and green eyes spoke. His skin was tanned and he was mostly bare except for a small green vest, blue pants, and a belt holding several daggers on him.
"Ahhhh~" Iris would lean on her subordinate's shoulders, causing him to blush slightly. "But first...let's have a good time, shall we, my boys and girls?" She spoke seductively, and the crew members would all grin widely.
"Yahooo! Party time!"
"We can drink until we pass out!"
"This is the best!"
The crew members cheered loudly.
"Now then, let's take a good look at our new friends, shall we? I hope they don't mind sharing their drinks." Iris winked at them as her fleet approached the Astra Vessel. Their moan goal? Steal the ship for themselves and make it their own. "Rosa. Get a good look at who's on that ship and tell us if it's someone interesting."
"Understood, captain!" A young female pirate responded to her captain's request. Rosa had long brown hair tied into two round twintails, and blue eyes. Her clothing was a sleeveless white shirt that was currently wrapped to the side of her body with a white bikini top and yellow shorts, exposing her belly.
Rosa used a pair of binoculars to get a good look at the ship before her eyes widened, realizing the people on that ship were no ordinary folks.
"Cap'n!" Rosa turned her head to face her captain with an excited look. "I can see someone famous there. I think...that's the guy on the newspapers! The Star Champion!"
"The Star Champion?" Iris looked towards the Astra Vessel curiously. She recalled seeing that face before. In the newspapers, and in the wanted posters. She'd seen him around the ports before.
"You sure, Rosa?"
"Absolutely, Captain!" Rosa nodded firmly. "The Star Champion, himself is on that ship!"
"Aaahhhhh...How very exciting. Now things are getting good." Iris would smile brightly. "If it's the Star Champion...Then I'd love to have a drink or two with him. Or more!"
"Cap'n, what should we do?" Rosa asked curiously.
"Isn't it obvious? We steal the ship, of course! Just imagine! An Astra Vessel of our own! Those are way too rare to come by. We'll just borrow it for ourselves!" Iris replied.
"But Captain...isn't the Star Champion supposed to be strong or something? Would we be able to steal from him?"
"Nonsense! With a crew of ours, stealing is a piece of cake. Plus, who doesn't love a bit of danger now and then? It makes life interesting, doesn't it?"
"H-Huh?!" Rosa blinked twice. "Danger?! But Cap'n, I don't think..."
"Enough, you're worrying too much. I've heard that the Star Champion is a pretty nice guy, so he'll probably spare you guys if you surrender. Plus, we could also have someone like him on our crew. I mean, just think about it. An amazing powerful guy like that on your team? You'll be unstoppable!"
"That's true. Or, we could end up losing everything." A man by the name of Hugh added in a serious tone, causing Rosa to shudder a little. He back wild black hair along with a red and white jacket, followed up with a black shirt and pants, carrying a serious face. "We have no idea how strong this guy is. For all we know, he could have a mass array of Pokemon on his side."
"That's true, too, I guess." Rosa nodded slowly.
"So what if he has a bunch of Pokemon? He can't possibly control all of them at the same time. If he can, then he's gotta be some sort of psychic or something."
"Yeah. He could even have a legendary Pokemon on his side."
"Or, he might not have anything." Hugh suggested. "He could have nothing at all, or he could have the most powerful Pokemon of all time."
"But what if it's a Legendary or a Mythical Pokemon? Those are super powerful, too. He might have something even stronger than those!" Rosa gasped, causing the captain to frown a bit.
"True, true. But that makes it all the more fun. Sometimes, winning with raw power won't do. It's the numbers that matter." Iris winked. "And if we play our cards right we, can easily get our hands on everything he has. And the Star Champion himself too."
"Captain!" One of the other crew members came rushing in. "Looks like we didn't lose them at all. The other crew's making their way here!" He shouted, revealing that a rival Pirate Crew was heading their way.
"Seriously? The Auravale Empire Pirates?" Rosa sighed. "Those guys are such a pain in the ass."
"Tch, and it had to be them, huh? What a bunch of nuisances. Can't they just leave us alone?" Another one complained, folding her arms together in an irritated manner.
"They must have smelled us out somehow. Probably that big fat nose of theirs." Another Pirate spoke, snickering slightly.
"Oh well, it's not like we can't handle them. It'll be just another day at work."
"But that raises a huge problem. They're obviously against the Star Champion, so once they see him, it'll be instant chaos. The Star Champion's gonna be caught up with two problems. Us and those Empire dogs." Rosa commented.
"We can't let this opportunity slip away! It'll be too much fun! Let's steal the ship before they do! If we steal it first, the Star Champion is ours, and the Empire Pirates won't be able to do a damn thing." Iris spoke out. "Get ready to jump on board, you guys!"
"Right!" The pirates prepared for action.
"What? Are you sure about this, captain?" Rosa questioned her decision. "I don't think it's a good idea..."
"Rosa. It's too late to worry about stuff like that. Now, the real question is...Are you a woman or a coward?" Iris inquired her. "Which will it be, girlie?"
"C-Captain! Please wait!" Rosa yelled out, but Iris would open the doors, standing at the front edge of her ship, making herself visible.
"Haha! Sorry, I just couldn't hold it anymore." Iris would spread her arms open, feeling the wind blowing against her. "Hey, everyone!" She hollered out, and soon, the rival Pirate Crew would hear her voice.
In the distance, Ash could sense another ship coming. He didn't sense instant danger with the Dragon Pirates noticeably but with the other crew nearby, it was something to be concerned about. "Oh man. There's another one nearby..." Ash focused on the Aura of the other ship. "Yeah. That's some wild Aura I'm sensing. It's different, though. Not as bright or warm like Nessa, Sabrina or Misty. And it's not fiery like Bea. It's Auravale, no doubt."
"If that's the case, we should probably direct the ship away from here." Brock suggested. "Getting caught up in two this high up in the sky is risky."
"But I'm curious about this other pirate crew." Ash looked towards the second incoming airship, which was growing larger by the second. "Maybe I should go and talk to the Dragonite Pirates right away.
"Hey!" Iris's voice reached out to Ash from this distance, grabbing his attention. "You're the Star Champion, right?! Why don't we have some fun with our crews?!" She called out.
"Huh?" Ash looked in the direction of the Dragon Pirate's voice, noticing the woman standing there with her arms spread out, smiling widely.
"Come on, boy. Do you have the guts or not?!" Iris smirked, seeing that the Star Champion was hesitating a little. "Oh, you're too shy, huh? How about you send over some of your lovely ladies? If you have any! If you're so confident, then send one of your friends here. And if any of you win, then I'll consider giving the ship back."
"Well, she seems friendly. Kinda pushy, but she's being reasonable enough. We can settle this peacefully." Ash said to Brock. "Alright! We'll talk it out, and we'll-"
"But if you lose, then you'll be coming with us, instead. No need to worry. I'll treat you well." Iris cut him off, her statement surprising the Star Champion. "You've got guts, so I won't have to do anything too rough on ya. Unless, of course, you're into that kinda thing."
"Hey, I'm all up for some action!" Ash grinned, eager to accept her challenge. "We'll see what you've got. I can tell by your Aura that you're really strong!"
"Oh, Star Champion..." Brock facepalmed while Pikachu shrugged.
"I was hoping you'd say that! It makes things a lot more interesting." Iris gave a cheeky wink before jumping off her airship. With that, an energy trail of Dragon Energy emerged from the ship, latching onto the Astra Vessel, pulling it closer to Iris's location.
"What is this?" Brock gasped in shock.
The Dragonite Pirates were ready to storm this ship. The Star Champion's presence meant their plans were only getting better and better.
As the airships stopped in front, the pirates came onto the ship, and Ash, the pirates started running across the trail. The crew members would all look menacing and intimidating. Some of them carried weapons, others had large bulky bodies, and a few of them had Pokemon that would make anyone run for their lives. Specifically, a Fraxure. Dragon Pokemon are known to be the fiercest of all the types.
But as they were running, a blaring horn sound came from the distance, causing everyone to look. It was another Auravale ship. This time, a massive one, a massive battleship, carrying an entire fleet, and a flag with a skull. This was a Pirate Ship, alright.
The symbol on the flag was the skull of a Drapion. Affiliated with the Auravale Empire, these pirates were previously in pursuit of the Dragon Pirates, hunting them down.
"T-They're a bit early!" Brock stuttered. "This is going to get ugly fast, Star Champion!"
As for who was on the ship, there were three females.
The first female had light brown skin and bright orange eyes, along with shoulder-length hair. She wore a regal dark purple military shirt with gold buttons. She also wore a pair of boots, a pair of black fingerless gloves, a black choker around her neck, and a purple cape. Her hair was a nice shade of dark blue that looked black with purple tips.
The second female had white skin and orange eyes. Her hair was blonde and she had a single thick ponytail that was tied with a green ribbon, and the rest of her hair was worn long. She wore a short black and green dress that revealed a bit of cleavage, a green bow tie, a pair of black leggings, and green flats.
The last one was a child who had pale skin and red eyes. Her long hair was black and she had two thin braids dangling down. She wore a long white robe, a red cloak, and a white hat, and her hair was tied into two low twintails.
"Officer Aryanna!" One of the soldiers reported.
"Hmm, what is it, soldier?" The leader of the ship responded.
"It's the Dragonite Pirates. We found them. But not only that...there's another ship. It looks to be an Astra Vessel. One of the new models!"
"What?" Officer Aryanna, the Captain of the Drapion Pirate Ship was intrigued. "An Astra Vessel out here? Interesting. But where did that ship come from?"
"The Auravale Empire doesn't own an Astra Vessel like that, that's for sure." Another pirate pointed out.
"Then it's an unknown one. Or it could belong to a pirate crew. Either way, I'd like to see what this ship has in store." Officer Aryanna was eager to know what this ship could offer.
"And crushing those pestering pirates too?" The second woman said with a seductive yet devious smile on her face, licking her lips. Her name was Kimberly.
"You're not wrong, my dear, but I can't deny my curiosity of what that ship's capable of." Aryanna explained. "We should see how strong its defenses are and see how long they can last."
"..." The child stayed silent, not responding at all.
"Ah, I expect you to do a wonderful job at destroying those pirates with such grace." Kimberly giggled menacingly bit. "You do look wonderful doing it and it's such a beautiful sigh to watch."
"Mm."
"I'm just stating the obvious, darling. I have to admit. You look ravishing when you do it. Your face is so cute, after all." Kimberly chuckled softly. "So, let's see what you can do."
"Flirting on the job isn't efficient, Kimberly..." Aryanna sighed, facepalming as this was such a common occurrence for the crew.
"Ahhhh, forgive me. It's just such a treat, watching you do your thing~" Kimberly replied in a loving manner. "Go on and do what you do best. And I'll get involved, enjoying the destruction of those pirates."
"I doubt we can destroy them today...They're a slippery bunch. Regardless, crippling them will be a good outcome as well. For disobeying the Empire and their crimes, we shall eliminate them at full force!" Aryanna declared as her crew cheered out loudly, the cannons being ready to fire and unleash hell upon the pirates. "We'll be coming up alongside the Dragonites Pirates, so prepare yourselves and commandeer that Astra Vessel as well! As the Authorative Pirates, move out!"
The ship of the Authorative Pirates could be seen breaking through the clouds, coming into view. They were now ready to engage the Dragonite Pirates and the Star Champion's group. And once they came into view, they wasted no time and summoned their own trail
Back on the Astra Vessel, Ash and his allies watched the airship, now coming to see its appearance.
"That's the symbol of the Authorative Pirates. It's a pirate crew affiliated with the Auravale Empire." Brock informed. "Even though they're pirates, they might as well be a military force."
Once the trail met with the ship, it smashed right into the side of it, latching on and pulling the Astra Vessel in, and the rest of the Auravale Pirates would come running right for the deck. A second trail emerged, hitting the side of the Dragon Pirates' ship, making sure to connect to it as well.
"Attention, Dragon Pirates and unidentified Astra Vessel! We, the Authorative Pirates, have you surrounded and outnumbered. Surrender immediately and hand over your cargo and valuables." Aryanna's voice boomed from the ship.
"Well, too bad for them, we're not doing that. Come on, everyone, we're gonna have some fun, boys and girls!" Iris shouted with excitement.
"Captain's orders!" Rosa nodded firmly, the rest of her crew charging forth, ready to engage with Ash's group. They sent out their Pokemon for action as some were in possession of Flying-Types.
Soon, Pokemon and Pirates from the two Pirate Ships were approaching the Astra Vessel and each other at the same time.
Ash and the others could sense the hostile Auravale Aura from the Pirates, and the pirates sensed Ash's powerful Aura, feeling a little intimidated but still determined to attack. Soon, things got hectic.
The girls had their bath interrupted as they heard a ruckus erupt that managed to reach them. "Eh? What's all that noise?!" Misty questioned as the girls quickly ran out, wrapping towels around themselves since their bodies were still soaking wet.
As soon as they left the bath, they looked at the window, gasping when seeing the Auravale Pirates' ship had come up alongside their own, and the Auravale Pirates were running their way.
"Who are these people?!" Misty was surprised by the sudden intruders. "Are they pirates?!"
"We just got this ship and it's already being attacked?! By two Pirates?!" Nessa couldn't believe it.
"Oh no, not this again! Those dirty, no good, filthy, rotten scoundrels!" Misty was very furious about her ship being invaded by these pirates, but even worse, seeing them wearing the flag of the Auravale Empire, which represented slavery. "They're Auravale Pirates?!"
It was chaos from there, as the Dragonite and Authorative Pirates were trying to get the upper hand. Ash grinned, adjusting his hat as he faced the group of Pokemon and Pirates coming his way.
"Alright then...Try this! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash pointed as Pikachu leapt off his shoulder and struck a pose, unleashing a thunderbolt of power. It struck a large cluster of the Dragon Pirates, causing them to jitter as they were stunned.
A Fraxure leapt forward past those that were stunned, going for a Dual Chop. Pikachu would land on the trail that acted as a bridge, using Iron Tail immediately to counter this incoming attack. He smacked the dragon's claws away and then swung the tail upwards, striking the dragon under the chin and knocking it back.
Brock sent out his Geodude to take care of the incoming Pirates. "Geodude! Use Tackle!" Brock commanded, the Rock-type smashing into a bunch of the approaching Pirates, knocking them back and leaving them to be shocked by the incoming Thunderbolt.
As for the pirates that fought each other, this was not the first time these two groups have gone at it and it showed as the battle was quite intense. A flash of moves went off constantly from each of their Pokemon along with the clash of swords and other weapons.
"H-How did this happen?! We just got into the air!" Goh exclaimed, surprised that a battle like this was happening already. He gasped upon seeing a Skarmory coming this way, threatening to break through the windows. However, all it took was a Thunderbolt from Pikachu to knock it away.
Ash himself was dealing with these Pirates using his Aura. More specifically, the presence of his Aura. He was exerting it as if it were an attack itself, knocking a bunch of them back. Some even fell down, lying flat on their faces because. No one could get close to the Star Champion as he was brilliantly keeping the pirates at bay, not wanting any harm done to his friends.
Iris watched this in awe, the woman finding herself in a state of wonder, her mouth agape, and her eyes glued to the Star Champion. He was incredible, his aura was powerful and his presence was overwhelming, almost god-like. She could tell just how much power the Star Champion held.
Aryanna saw this as well from her ship, realizing who was standing out there. The man from the newspaper who has made waves as of recently. The biggest rising enemy to the Auravale Empire. "The Star Champion!" She was surprised to find him on this Astra Vessel, fighting off her crew.
"He's here?! The Star Champion?!" Kimberly gasped, a big smile appearing on her face.
"Yes, that's the man who's been stirring up trouble, taking down Volman's Empire in just a few minutes. He's been making an impact on the news, and has been growing popular with the populace. So this is his ship." Aryanna was intrigued.
"Oooo, what a lovely specimen~" Kimberly was very excited, licking her lips.
"Control yourself, Kimberly, we can't underestimate him." Aryanna advised.
"Oh, but of course, Aryanna." Kimberly smiled.
Aryanna watched the Star Champion, the man having such a commanding presence. It was almost as if no one was allowed to get close to him whatsoever. His Aura would not permit it, giving him an untouchable status.
"I didn't expect to run into such a powerful and Legendary figure today. And his strength is certainly showing... We will have to play our cards carefully in this instance. Against someone like him, we cannot make a mistake or this will cost us dearly. This could even lead to a defeat for the Auravale Empire. He may have just shown up, but his reputation has precedence." Aryanna realized. "However, the opportunity to capture a legend is standing right before me. If I could get my hands on him, he would make an excellent addition to the empire. Not only that, but a perfect gift to the Emperor himself."
"And what about his crew? Shouldn't we capture them as well?" Kimberly asked.
"No, that can wait. He's our top priority right now." Aryanna answered.
"I suppose. Well, allow me to get involved, Officer." Kimberly would walk forward, her hips swaying back and forth as she did. "I'll be back soon, seeing what I can gather. And what I can destroy~"
"You do that. I'm staying behind and observing. And once I get the opportunity, I'll go out there and snatch him up myself. And that pesky Captain Iris" Aryanna nodded, looking onward at the Star Champion and Pikachu, seeing how they were easily keeping the Auravale Pirates at bay.
"I'm on it~" Kimberly smirked. She would hop onto her Salazzle, who was standing near the edge. They would approach the Astral Vessel, but from a different angle, opting for a much more stealthy approach. Salazzle crawled underneath the trail, going under and getting to the bottom.
"Alright then, Salazzle, we're going for a stealthy approach. Get inside without being noticed. And take down anyone in our path." Kimberly smirked, eager to do her part. "Don't let a single soul stand in our way."
The Fire-Poison-Type would begin to crawl, making its way underneath the trail, heading straight for the Astra Vessel. It would make sure to get to the bottom of the ship, so no one would spot them.
In the ship, the girls made sure to stay put so that they wouldn't be noticed. They didn't want to be seen naked after all, not wanting to be captured by these Auravale Pirates. There were so many of them outside that they couldn't risk being seen. They slowly moved, lowering their heads while focusing on getting their clothes and getting dressed as fast as possible.
Misty and the girls were trying their best to make it out of the bathhouse and to their rooms to grab their clothes, and that was where Kimberly and her Salazzle would show up. They appeared inside the bathhouse, surprising the girls. She had melted through the walls of this ship, coming from underneath, choosing the bathhouse route.
"Who are you?!" Misty demanded.
"You girls are a bunch of beauties, aren't you?" Kimberly smiled, eyeing the four naked girls in the bathhouse. "My, oh my, what a nice group of girls."
"Get lost!" Misty shouted. "I see that symbol on your clothes. You're an Authorative Pirate, aren't you?! Auravale and all!"
"Ooh, feisty. I like that. I'm always a fan of the ones who think they can challenge me, makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable." Kimberly licked her lips, taking a moment to enjoy the sight of these beautiful naked women. She had a huge grin on her face as she eyed them up. "Oh yes, you girls are going to make a perfect addition to our collection."
"Collection?" Misty and the others were confused, but it wouldn't last long as they Kimberly was already planning to make a move. Misty quickly grabbed onto her Poe Ball nearby, managing to grab it and send her Pokemon out. "Staryu, help us!" She tossed the Pokeball into the air, sending the Water-Type Pokemon out.
"Use Scald!" Misty ordered, the starfish Pokemon launching a stream of boiling hot water towards the purple-haired woman.
However, the pirate captain's Salazzle would quickly jump in the way and intercept the attack with a powerful Fire-Type attack of her own. As a result, the attack was negated. The poison lizard was unfazed and would counter with a stream of fire, striking Staryu directly and blasting it back.
Misty gasped, her Staryu hitting the wall and becoming immobilized. The girl was worried, but not ready to give up. Sabrina would flick her fingers, bringing her Poke Ball over to her with telekinetic powers. "Espeon, come on out!" She tossed the ball forward, summoning the Psychic-Type. "Use Shadow Ball!"
Sabrina ordered, the Pokemon quickly shooting a powerful dark orb towards the enemy. But Salazze still managed to avoid it as well. "Burn this area down for me, Salazzle. Flamethrower!"
The poison lizard launched a powerful burst of fire, blasting the area with intense heat. It caused the room to become unbearably hot, making it hard for the girls to breathe. Misty and the others cried out as they felt the intense heat wash over them.
Quickly, they would run out of the bathhouse, trying to escape the intense heat. They managed to get out, but now, Kimberly would be in pursuit of them. "For these women to be with such a famous figure, I can only imagine that capturing them will bring wonders. And not to mention, that they would look great with the rest of the gentlemen and ladies~" Kimberly grinned, having the time of her life. "Come on, girls. Let's have some fun, shall we?"
"Go and inform the Star Champion, right away!" Bea uttered to Nessa, wanting her to tell Ash or even Brock about this intrusion.
Nessa would nod and dash away, not wasting a moment. She headed down the hallways, and she was determined to tell Ash about this, but she also felt that there was something else that she needed to do. Bea would look ahead, seeing that her Poke Balls were still in the bathhouse.
But standing in her way were Kimberly and Salazzle, blocking the entryway to the bathhouse. "I can deal with just three of you. But Salazze will need some extra assistance." She held out another Poke Ball, releasing her second Pokemon. In this case, it was a Tentacruel.
Tentacruel was released, and would immediately join Salazze, the two Poison-Types ready to deal with the intruders.
"Restrain them at once!" Kimberly ordered, and the Pokemon were quick to respond. Tentacruel would launch its tentacles out, going for the girls. As for Salazzle, it would rush towards them, deciding to get up close.
"Espeon, use Confusion!" Sabrina called out, the Psychic-Type using the telekinetic powers it possessed, trying to hold back the approaching Salazzle. The Pokemon's eyes glowed a bright blue as it exerted its powers, forcing Salazzle back. "Good! Now keep it at bay!"
Salazzle and Tentacruel were struggling, trying to get through, but Espeon was making it difficult. It was a bit surprising since Espeon wasn't really known for their physical prowess, but its telekinetic abilities were very potent. However, that wasn't going to last long as Salazzle was using its powerful Poison Tail attack, swinging its tail and smashing it into the ground.
As a result, a burst of purple toxins shot out from the ground, striking the Pokemon directly and causing it to flinch. The Poison-Type's poison was powerful and deadly, and the Psychic-Type was quickly affected. It became immobilized, and was unable to move for a moment.
Tentacruel then dug its tentacles into the ground, going for a sneak attack, the tentacles aggressively moving around. The girls all watched out for the tentacles and where they pop up but they just didn't have the reaction time for it.
The tentacles emerged from behind and beside them, latching onto the girls immediately. They gasped and screeched as the tentacles wrapped around their naked bodies, piercing the towels that they had wrapped themselves in. Their bodies were restrained, and now, they were stuck, unable to move.
"Ghhaa! This grip!" Bea hissed. Not only were these tentacles powerful but they felt so uncomfortable too. The way they slithered across their bodies made the girls feel gross and dirty. The girls struggled and squirmed, desperately trying to break free.
"Hahaha, you girls look so cute, like that." Kimberly laughed. She eyed the girls up and down, seeing the way their breasts and bodies were squished and pressed against the tentacles. She was getting very aroused, seeing them in such a vulnerable state. "I should warn you, this is not the first time Tentacruel has done this. His grip on others has improved over the years and you're sure to feel the smoothness."
"Mmph..." Misty let out a light moan, feeling the tentacles slithering across her body. She could feel her body temperature rise as the tentacles caressed her body, making her skin feel so soft and smooth. Her nipples became erect as she began to experience arousal, and she could see the same thing happening to her friends.
The girls started moaning at this uncomfortably, slimy feeling, seeing Tentacruel move across their thighs and wrapping around their arms. He had a tight hold on them and their bodies.
"Absolutely...Not!" Sabrina's eyes would glow a bright blue, as did Espeon's. Her Psychic powers were at full power, and the girls were given a little boost of energy. Using her psychic powers, the girls broke free from the tentacle's grasp, escaping. Kimberly was a bit shocked by that but wasn't too bothered.
After being freed, the girls saw that they had some slime still on them, invalidating the bath they just had. Now free, they would try and gain some distance from Kimberly, changing up their approach. While covering themselves with their arms, they ran off down the hall.
Kimberly and her Poison-Type Pokemon were hot on their trail. They weren't giving up just yet, hunting her down. Not only that, but with the hole underneath the bathhouse, they feared that other pirates could get in. And indeed, that fear was very much real.
Some of the pirates spotted the hole Salazzle made, and a few were crawling in, heading towards the girls. Some would go towards the bathhouse, while others were heading down the hall.
The girls didn't want to be captured, and they knew they needed to do something fast. At this rate, the entire ship will be overrun. "We cannot focus our efforts on just one person." Sabrina spoke. "Until the Star Champion takes care of them, we'll have to keep our distance from them all, especially that woman."
"Sabrina. You have the best shot against her. You'll blindside her while I try and keep the inside of the ship safe." Misty opted, trying to think of a way out of this.
"With pleasure. I'll make sure she does not catch us off guard again." Sabrina's eyes narrowed.
"I have to retrieve my Poke Ball...I just can't do anthing." Bea said, wanting to defend herself and everyone else, just so she can prove her strength.
Misty and Bea would advance down the hall with Bea focusing on getting her Poke Ball. However, they had to keep their guards up, for more Authorative Pirates were crawling out of the holes that Salazzle had made.
Nessa was still on her way to Ash, moving through the large hallways of this vast ship. However, she spotted a few enemies nearby, and quickly hid in the shadows, watching the Authorative Pirates move past her. She kept quiet while clinging onto her towel, her body tense as she tried to keep still.
She watched as the pirates moved by, not noticing her presence. After they were gone, she let out a sigh of relief. But that's when she heard footsteps coming her way, and she had to hide again.
More Authorative Pirates were running her way, and she couldn't stay here any longer. She had to go. Quickly, she bolted down the hall, trying to put some distance between her and the pirates. As she ran, she was beginning to regret her decision to not bring her clothes along.
"Just when I was about to relax in here...!" She cursed under her breath, continuing to run down the hallway. A bit further and she would reach Ash to inform him of this break-in. But as she ept moving, appearing from the corner and standing in this hallway as Kimberly.
The pirate was standing there, waiting for her. She smirked at Nessa's appearance, seeing that she was in a bit of a state of undress. "Ohoho. Not so fast."
"Y-You..." Nessa backed up a bit, keeping her guard up.
"So, you're another one of the beauties the Star Champion is with, aren't you? Hm. I wonder what he's doing, if he can't protect you."
Nessa scowled. She didn't want to talk with her and continued running past. Kimberly didn't bother, and instead, used her Poison Tail and aimed for Nessa. Nessa saw the attack and barely managed to dodge, but the attack did end up cutting the towel she had wrapped around her.
The towel dropped and her naked body was revealed.
"Now, we can't have you running away now, can we? That wouldn't be fair at all, and you would miss out on all the fun." Kimberly teased, her Salazzle approaching. "For you, I won't have to exert much effort." Kimberly would start walking forward as Tentacruel suddenly appeared behind Nessa once she backed up.
The sea squid would wrap its tentacles around Nessa's arms and legs, holding her up in the air and showing her naked body. Nessa tried to break free, but the grip was very firm, and her struggling was not going to change anything.
"Nh! Why you...!" Nessa shouted. She was on her own for this one, having no Pokemon of her own to defend her and no way to defend herself.
"Now, now. There's no need to be scared. My Pokemon can be gentle or rough, however, you please. We're both girls, and we have a lot of fun. But that's only if you want it~"
"I don't need anything from you."
"Oh? Are you sure about that? In any case, by the end of this, you'll see this Astra Vessel taken away...or even destroyed. That would be a wonderful sight. And once that's done, I think I'll take you with me. My, you're quite the stunner, aren't you?" imberly checked out Nessa who scowled at her. "Such a perfect figure. That Star Champion fellow doesn't look too bad either. I think upon his defeat, I'll take him too."
"As if you'd ever defeat the Star Champion. Be realistic!" Nessa retorted. "What you're doing is a surprise attack but the Star Champion won't be stopped by that. I guarantee it. In fact, we can't even be compared."
Kimberly laughed. "Sure, he's the Legendary Hero, isn't he? I suppose so. But we'll see how long that lasts. After all, even if he's unstoppable, you certainly aren't. Compared to the other girls, you're rather defenceless. I wonder what the Star Champion gains from having you girls tag along with him? Must be for the sake of some private moment afterwards~"
"W-Why you..."
"Ah, what I would give to have a private moment with Aryanna as well~!" She hugged herself, looking at her reflection in a window. "That woman's body is so beautiful, and her hair is gorgeous! But you seem to match her, I'll admit."
"What is wrong with you...?" Nessa spoke with genuine confusion. Kimberly was an odd one. The way she moved and acted, she had temptations that reminded her of Volman in a way.
"What is wrong with you...?" Nessa spoke with genuine confusion. Kimberly was an odd one. The way she moved and acted, she had temptations that reminded her of Volman in a way.
"What? Is it wrong to love? I love all types of people." She faced Nessa, licking her lips as she got close to her face. She was eyeing Nessa up and down, admiring her form. Her hand held Nessa's chin, looking deep into her eyes. "I think it's wonderful to love so many, don't you? I could love you too like so many before you." She got closer to Nessa's face, their chests meeting.
"Never." But Nessa objected to loving someone like her, pulling her head away and turning to the side.
"My, what a rude mouth you have." Kimberly backed off, looking displeased. "If you don't want to accept my love, then fine. After this is all over, I'll bring you back and then you will truly see my love and love me back. We-"
Before she could finish, her Tentacruel and Salazzle were pushed back by a powerful Psychic Pulse that snuck up on her. The sudden attack took her by surprise, and she turned her attention towards the source.
"I believe that's enough." It was Sabrina. She found Kimberly, saving Nessa from being a captive. "Are you alright, Nessa?"
"Ugh...My body feels a bit slimy now. So much for that bath...I guess that's fine though. Thank you."
"Don't mention it. But, for now, I'll take care of this. Continue on hyour way to the Star Champion" Sabrina asked, not taking her eyes off Kimberly and her Pokemon.
"Right, I can do that. Please be careful." Nessa nodded, promtply continuing on her way to inform Ash about the situation.
"Ah...Fine. I guess I'll finish my food and defeat one of you." Kimberly shrugged. "I'm a little annoyed now. But this is fine. You're not getting out of this, my dear."
Sabrina simply scoffed. "As if your petty threats would intimidate me. Your words are meaningless. Now, you will pay for attacking our ship." Sabrina pointed at the pirate. "As a Pokemon Lord, it is my duty to bring down those of the Empire. Prepare yourself."
As for Ash, he kept all of them at bay, but was unaware of what was happening inside yet. Iris saw all she needed to see, deciding to get in on the action as well. The Captain of the Dragonite Pirates could be seen lunging over the fainted bodies on the energy bridge, having an impressive jump height.
The captain decided to confront the Star Champion at last. Ash could sense a strong Aura coming his way, something he couldn't casually push back then stepped back as Iris landed on the front of the ship, crouching and squatting down as if she were a dragon upon landing.
She then raised her head while still crouching, her grin forming when gazing at Ash. "Alright. It's my turn now. I want to see if you're really who they say you are. You're facing Captain Iris of the Dragonite Pirates. I hope you're ready, because I've got no plans on going easy on you."
"Neither do I." Ash replied.
Iris was pleased to hear that. The two locked eyes as their confrontation in this hectic moment was about to begin. What should've been a peaceful first go with the Astra Vessel turned into this. Now, the Star Champion and his group had to get themselves out of this mess as well.
