Chap. 70: Tributaries

"So, if you wait for your opponent to call out their attack, you might have less time to think about it," Elle explained to Kinta, with Megumi still listening in and nodding as she absorbed what the younger woman was telling her brother, "it gives you less time to issue a command, yes. You don't want to time out. But, on the other hand, you can react to what they're-"

"Elle? Elle? Is that you?"

The petite blonde turned to find a tall, slender girl about her own age with brown skin, darker brown hair that was now styled back in dreadlocks similar to her younger brother's, and a girl who could've been her twin whose hair was hanging past her elbows in a wide wave that spread at least eight inches pat either shoulder to the sides. "Uh… Hi. Oh, hi! Sorry, I… What was your name again?"

The girl who'd greeted her looked at her siblings, "I only fingered her in the audience of The Steelworks, that's all… no reason to remember my name." She giggled, stepped a bit closer, then offered her hand to shake. "Lilah. Lilah Freeman. This is Lana, she Challenged the Gym right after your boy-toy, and Kenny. You guys remember Elle, right?"

"Yeah," Kenny blushed, and was the next to offer her hand.

Still, Lana was the one who picked up the conversation next, "Where's your hunk? And who're your friends? You didn't break up, did you?"

"Oh, he's back at the PMC," Elle shrugged, "Hopefully spending some quality time with one of our other friends. This is Megumi and Kinta. How long have you three been in town?"

"Cerulean?" Lilah shrugged, "About six hours, we got in really late last night. How about you?"

"A few days ago," Elle admitted, "We met up with Megu and Kinta originally outside of Viridian, and have run into them a few times, but they joined me and Alex and Robin- that's the new girl I hope he's boning- the day after we got here. Checked out the Ice Gym this morning, and tomorrow we're probably gonna go check out the Water one."

"I heard both are really tough," Kenny murmured shyly, probably in an attempt to change the topic of conversation.

Elle shrugged, "They are, probably. The Ice Gym Leader's brutal, way meaner than Pewter's two. I don't know a lot about the Water one yet, of course, but our friend Robin says they're… well, you might fight a one on three battle against three lesser trainers who're still good in their own right, or the real Gym Leader who's their mother, and has been a Gym Leader for decades. She's supposed to be one of the strongest Trainers in all of Kanto."

"Wow," Lana muttered, "Well, uh… have you had a chance to check out the night-life, yet? Someone in Pewter said it was pretty good, and we got held up in Mount Moon's PMC. Some big emergency on the East side of the cave system, had to hold up the guides for a good while. While we were there, some other folks were, uh, talking about- about a bunch of clubs, and stuff."

"We haven't checked it out personally," Elle grinned, glancing back at her companions, "but we were probably going to in the next few days. We, uh… we might've had a run-in with some of the people who run a few of the establishments around here, and they offered Alex and I a night on them. We figured we could get this poor guy's V-card punched, and give Megu and Robin a good time, too."

"Hey!" Kinta growled, but the two dark-skinned girls giggled as they shared a look with each other.

"Don't feel bad, sweetie," Lilah told him, "Kenny was a virgin until just a few days ago himself, and he's Elle's age. We could help you with that, if you want. Just say the word. You're cute enough."

"Speak for yourself," Lana giggled, giving her sister an elbow that made her wince, "I agree he's cute, but you know I'd rather spend some time with Miss Boobs over there. Mm… Asian girls. Older Asian girls…"

Megumi laughed, red-faced, and looked away. "Sorry, I… I'm not really into girls myself."

Lana just shrugged, "No harm, then. Sorry if we come on a bit strong. Both of us kind of knew what we were getting into with the Beta, 'cause our uncle works for GF. We heard a few things, and we were super eager to try it out. It's everything we wanted, heh. Anyway, if it bugs you we can stop. Still, Elle, what do you think? Want a couple more tag-alongs?"

"Let me ask Alex and Robin tonight," she answered, pulling up her wrist to open her Pokégear's phone app, "What's your number? I'll let you know after I talk to them. It probably won't be tonight that we go anyway. I think Robin and I need to get a little something to wear for that kind of night out, if you know what I mean."

"Sure," Lana replied, and shared all three of their numbers with the blonde. Once the data was loaded and her own set into their devices, she asked, "So what's this Robin like?"

"Pink, busty, half-Nipponese- bit like Megumi there," Elle grinned, "sexy as hell. You'd like her, she's all about sex. Uh… Megu? You and Kinta mind giving us a few minutes? Just like, five."

"S- Sure," the dark-haired, taller woman replied, "Come on, Kinta. I gotta take a leak anyway."

"Ugh, fine," her brother grumbled, "I wanna get back to training, though."

"We'll do it when we get back, hold your Horseas," Megumi giggled, "It was good to meet you three!"

"Bye!"

Once the two were gone, Elle gave the others a level glare, "Don't fuck with them. If we're friends at all, don't go playing with Megu and Kinta. They lost their dad when the server crashed a few weeks back, and they're having a hard time. They, uh… might've had some trouble with some of the local gangs, too. You can hang out, but don't mention stuff like that unless they bring it up, and if they do, be supportive. For me, alright?"

"S- Sure," Lilah replied, sounding and looking surprised, "I wouldn't- we wouldn't- do anything like that, anyway. I was serious about doin' the tango with that kid if he wants, but I-"

Elle shook her head, "Sorry, that's a no-go. We've got a plan. Just… look, I'll ask Alex and Robin what they think about bringing you to the Water Gym and that night on the town, but don't be surprised if they say no. We've got a lot going on, and I don't want to drag you three into it. No offense."

Again, the siblings shared a look. This time, it was Kenny who asked, eyes hard, "Is it Team Rocket?"

Elle's eyes widened. "How did you-"

(O)(O)(O)

Adisa sighed, for what felt like the thousandth time. Eight had dwindled to three, the last five had left at once as one smaller river joined the larger they had been following along for two days. "This is stupid," one had claimed, "We can't swim that. There's wild Pokémon in there, they'd eat us alive! Some of us can't even swim, and that's like eight hundred feet!"

He hadn't been wrong about the estimation, Adisa knew. She'd swam it herself, the only one to actually do so. The others had been carried or ferried or even just pulled across by the few Water-type Pokémon available to their small group. At least, what had been left. The one who'd objected to swimming, and his boyfriend, were gone already by that point. The next three had left after helping the rest cross, then said, "Good luck!"

Among them had been Megan, which had devastated Riku and Callie. Of course, the older girls, seventeen and eighteen, had quickly taken Sandra, the last of them, under their wing… but Adisa didn't think they'd taken her into their tent just yet. Probably for the best, she thought savagely, they'd probably twist her into thinking free sex is normal, just like everyone else has been doing. At least I think she's still relatively chaste. Shit… Rocket really did a number on these kids. And I helped them.

Now, they were twenty miles beyond that, and looking at what just might be their salvation. Well, the kids', anyway. Because the town they were looking at what spread out, rural, a farming town. And not too far off, a single old man helped an equally-aged Tauros shift a sprinkler system down a good thirty feet before turning it back on, and leaning to crack his back.

An old man on a farm, alone.

Rocket would victimize him, she was sure. Make him disappear, move into his house for a week or three until they were back on their feet, or people started asking questions. But these are just kids, and I'm… I can't do that. I'm not that person. I just wanted to help people. Right?

She swallowed. "Go down there. Talk to the old farmer. Tell him the story, the real one. Tell him you guys need a place to stay, and that you'll help however you can. And fucking help. Put your 'mons to work. Help him clean, cook… Whatever it takes, as long as he isn't abusive. Maybe ask if he's got a wife to help take care of things, get in her good graces if he does."

Callie, now the most confident of the three remaining kids that had once been her helpers at the Cerulean North Landbridge, swallowed hard, and gave an equally firm look up at Adisa. "What're you going to do?"

Adisa closed her eyes and looked away. "I have your numbers, you have mine. I have to go back, like I was saying a few days ago. I have to stop them… whatever they're doing. If I can. And if I can't, well… maybe if they capture or kill me, they will stop hunting you all."

Sandra looked like she wanted to cry. Adisa didn't blame her. But Callie and Riku stood firm. They weren't quite adults, not really. But they had been through too much. Callie had been raised in the slums of Pacific, and Riku had been born in Cerulean, a native. No 'invader', that one. But it was clear to Adisa that the girls loved each other, NPC or not. "Stick together. Or don't… but stay in touch if you don't. Support each other. I'll come find you when I can."

"If you can," Riku murmured.

Adisa only nodded. "Yeah. I… Good luck. If the old farmer can't or won't help, find someone else. Anyone. Maybe even the local police. The… I think they tend not to be as corrupt in smaller towns. Maybe even a Gym Leader if this place has one. They should at least have an idea of where to get resources to help. A place to stay, to train. Get jobs, do whatever you have to. But stay safe, and if you can, stay together."

"We will," Sandra sniffled.

Then her scrawny little arms wrapped around Adisa's waist as she started to sob.

All she could do was pat the girl awkwardly. She couldn't lie to her and say she'd be fine. Adisa, after all, honestly felt that she was taking her Pokémon into a life of misery and pain, or just getting them killed. But she also didn't think she had a choice, because she was pretty sure her suspicions about what Rocket was really like were accurate.

So she didn't really have a choice, did she?

Eventually, she was able to separate herself, and saw the girls walking down the hillside toward the fields where the old man and his Bull Pokémon still worked at a slow pace.

Once they were a fair bit away, she gave one last, unseen wave, turned, and started walking back. She had a lot of ground to cover, and was already tired. But maybe, in two days, she could get back to the Bridge. Maybe, she could find Vaan again and… something. Take him out, maybe. Get captured or killed, probably. But she had a chance, at least.

She had to try, for the kids.

Alex worked his jaw tenderly, flexing and relaxing his tongue gently. Just in front of him, rivulets of girl-cum and his own saliva mixed in streams that merged again and again until they eventually merged into a puddle between two creamy, smooth, blemish-free thighs. Above him, he heard panting, gasping breaths… and the hand that had fisted in his hair several minutes ago slowly relaxed.

"Fuck," he heard Robin giggle, "that was… intense. I'm glad you're- you're coming around. Fuck."

"I could get addicted to your taste," Alex chuckled, almost as breathlessly as Robin herself. Not for the first time, he envied a woman's ability to achieve multiple orgasms again and again. She'd sucked him off three times in the last few hours, but he was starting to flag, and even if he was erect now, he doubted he could perform again without a significant amount of work. "I still don't trust you… but I think I'm done hesitating. We can… we can be together. Unless you do screw us over, in which case I'm gonna have to… I don't know. Kill you sounds a little over-dramatic…"

"Especially with your head between my legs," Robin laughed, then her hand, which had fallen to her thigh in her post-orgasmic bliss, lifted to cup his jaw with a light touch. "You eat pussy really well… and I meant what I said. I'm on your side. My endgame is to support you two, and get laid a lot. Maybe pop out a few dozen kids. It's- well, it's not supposed to be hard for me, supposed to be really easy. That whole shapeshifting thing. But of course I don't know, and I plan on having maybe a few hundred as my part for Game Freak. Most of those'll be me getting girls pregnant, of course, and some of those'll be Pokémon. If that doesn't weird you out, anyway."

He swallowed as he levered himself up onto his elbows. Robin, as always, was beautiful. More-so, drenched in slowly-drying sweat from what had turned into a three-and-a-half-hour oral marathon that had left her climaxing into his mouth at least twenty-six times. No wonder his mouth hurt! Still, it had been worth it, she really was delicious. "I… I don't know if it does or not. I mean… you wanna fuck 'em, and that's… that's fine. Elle's the same way. I just… having actual kids with them? Wouldn't that just… erase Pokémon, too? If being a Combinant breeds true?"

"Maybe," she shrugged, which made her breasts roll too-enticingly considering how tired they both were, "but I don't think so. It might add a few thousand new species of Pokémon, but they also breed more or less true, so… should be alright, as far as I understand the genetics of it. Remember most histories of this world say that at one point, Pokémon and Humans didn't just live side by side- they were one and the same. Intermarried, interbred, and it's quite possible Humans are just another breed of Pokémon on this world."

His eyes narrowed, but he nodded, casting one last, almost longing glance down at her dew-covered cunt, which still ran with little streams of fluid. "As much as I'd love to continue, my jaw's getting pretty sore."

"I'd be surprised if it wasn't," she laughed, and sat up and pulled her pelvis back to hold the position, "but I'm getting tired too, to be honest. Even face-fucking Onahole couldn't make me cum that much, heh. Wow. Ah… we should probably get ready to head out, though. For dinner, or maybe to check out the Gym."

"Dinner sounds good," Alex nodded, "'cause I suddenly noticed I'm famished. Not that I haven't spent the last three hours eating…"

"Hah, hah! Look at you, making a sex joke! We'll make a right perv out of you yet, Alex, just you wait," Robin giggled. He pretended offense, but it didn't last much longer than her laughter, which quickly turned serious as they both heard Elle talking loudly as she walked down the hall of the Pokémon Center. "Seriously, though, Alex… that was amazing. And I'm glad we're finally moving forward. I know it might seem fast to some, but… I've been watching and learning about you for a long time. A few years in the real world, I think."

"A- A few years?"

Robin blinked, seeming confused at his sudden horror as Alex stood up from the bed, "Well, yeah. You didn't think GF selected the people for the 'Beta Test' by accident, did you? They knew who they were getting from the start."

"Oh, fuck…"
