(Hazbin Hotel)
"Good morning!" Pentious says before yawning as he enters the lobby.
"Morning." Husk says.
"Good morning, my reptilian fellow." Alastor says happily.
"Sup, scales." Angel says as he was at the parlor, watching TV.
"Are Ash and the girls still gone?" The snake asks while going over to the bar.
"Yeah, still gone. Still got no customers or anything." Husk says while pouring a shot.
"Ah, I see."
The cat then hands him the glass. Pentious sat on the bar stool and looked at his drink for a moment before looking around to see if there was something to discuss. Nothing came to mind though.
"Ya know, it is quite quiet without Charlie or the boy's little creatures." He says.
"Hmm… uh…" Husk says before taking a look around. "Yeah, it's uh… bit of an odd feeling, not gonna lie. Almost used to seeing those things around here."
"I miss Gible." Niffty says as she sits sadly against the bar.
"Yes, I… rather miss them as well, if I'm being honest." Pentious also says.
Husk didn't say anything. He looked around his bar, expecting to find a certain otter messing with his fur. However, it wasn't there to do so. At first, he felt relief over those days, but… now the little Pokemon missing just seemed so off and out of place. He sighed before massaging his templates. Part of him tried to convince himself that he didn't care, but… he couldn't shake off the slight feeling of… loneliness.
(Pokemon World)
Vaggie got up earlier, stretching in her nightgown as she stood from the bed. She scratched her head before reaching and picking up her bow before her spear caught her eye. She looked at it, it standing by resting against the nightstand. She picked it up and looked it over.
'I know he said I shouldn't take this, but I can't risk anyone getting into trouble.' She says before taking a deep breath.
She turned to the bed where Ash and Charlie were still waiting in their sleepwear. Charlie's hair was as messy as usual, Ash's empty arm twitched a bit before reaching over and wrapping it around the blonde, both hugging each other.
Vaggie sighed before sitting on the edge. She probably would've lost her mind seeing them like that back before they brought Ash into their relationship, but she pushed those thoughts out of her mind because it wasn't important to her now. She brushed her hand over their heads before leaning down and giving them both a kiss on the cheek, then leaving the room.
(Outside)
After getting dressed, she went outside, checking around to make sure there wasn't anyone watching, and went to a more open field before spinning her spear, and then getting in position. One foot forward, the other back, and her weapon held up as though her enemy was in front of her. Steady breath… then she began.
She was swinging her spear, practicing movements, striking an invisible opponent fiercely. Her long hair flowed in the air with the strings of her bow and the grass beneath her being crushed under her soles each time she moved positions.
Vaggie was initially locked in on what she was doing, not focusing on anything else at the moment. That was until she stopped and stayed in one pose as something caught her eye. Riolu was in the same pose she was in, holding a big branch in his paws, and he started spinning and swerving around while making dramatic poses.
He took one position, the stick slightly raising out of his back paw before he grabbed it and pulled it back into place. Then he tried to spin it, only to fumble and nearly drop it before going back to trying to do dramatic stunts with it.
Vaggie was dumbfounded for a moment before realizing that the little jackal was trying to imitate her. She watched him almost drop the stick again before chuckling to herself.
'Just like a little kid.' She thought before walking up to him. "Having fun there?" She says as he stops and looks up at her, then nods. "You wanna learn how to do those things properly?" She asked as he looked at the branch he held, then scratched his head. "Okay, let's start with the basics."
(Meanwhile)
Ash was finished getting dressed as he walked downstairs, looking around in confusion. He noticed that one of his girlfriends was missing, wondering where she could've gone. After a second of looking around, he stopped as he was passing the window and looked out, seeing her and his newest Pokemon.
He smiled before leaving through the backdoor and walking up to them, watching as the jackal was spinning around a stick while mimicking the movements of the white-haired woman. He chuckled when he saw it, then looked at Vaggie, watching as her hair flowed in the wind and the sun shone down on her face, he blushed while seeing her. Then he shook his head before continuing to them.
"Good morning." He says as the woman stops and smiles at him.
"Morning, Hon. Uh… sorry. I know you said I should leave my spear behind, but… I honestly don't trust the others around it." She tells him.
"Well-"
"I know, I know, I should be more trusting towards them, but-"
"No, I was gonna say it's probably for the best."
"... Really?" She asked before he nodded. "I was… I was expecting you to say otherwise."
"Yeah, I know it's weird to hear that out of my mouth but…" He pauses as he recalls the sound of static with a certain 'smiling face' and grunts a bit. "Well… you never know what could happen when leaving them with that."
"I guess?" Vaggie says, puzzled at his response.
He sighed, not wanting her to worry about what he went through.
"He's still going, look at him." Vaggie snapped him out of his thoughts as he looked where she was looking, seeing Riolu still practicing with the stick.
The Pokemon started spinning the stick around thrusting it forward several times in a blur before swinging it and practicing more properly than earlier.
"Took me the better part of a year to learn how to fight and he's getting this shit down in less than half an hour." Vaggie says.
"That's probably the Fighting Type in him." Ash explains. "But yeah, he is a quick learner. He already knows how to use Aura Sphere even though his species normally learn it through evolution."
"So he's an early bloomer."
"Seems like it. It's pretty amazing how fast he can learn though."
"Right, uh… you're not gonna like… use him to battle other Pokemon are you?"
Ash glanced at her for a second then thought. "Well, yeah. Pokemon always battle with each other. The majority of them enjoy battle. Besides, I'm sure Riolu would like to have a go against a powerful opponent." He says referring to the jackal who was gone. "Where did he-?" He started to say.
Vaggie tapped him on the shoulder and then pointed. He looked over and not that far away, Riolu was seen attacking a lone tree, throwing punches at it, striking it with the stick it found until it broke, then started jumping at it, kicking it.
"Guess he has the same idea as you." The woman tells him.
"Yeah. Hey, Riolu!" He then calls as the jackal looks back at him. "Come over here. I'll find you a better opponent than that tree." He tells him as the Pokemon looks disappointed before going back over to them, then plopping himself down. "Besides, if he's going to come with us to the hotel, it's probably best that he does train to protect himself. Especially after what happened with… the Vees."
"Hey, we're not gonna let that happen to you again. I swear to you, those bastards won't get a chance to touch you again, and if they do-" Vaggie says before lifting her spear. "I won't be merciful next time."
A deadly aura surrounded her as her uncovered brow furrowed. This caught the boy off guard and was a little concerned. She saw his face and shook her head as the aura dissipated.
"S-sorry, didn't mean to word it like that." She told him.
"It's really fine, Vaggie." He reassures her.
'What is wrong with me? Why did I say that?' Vaggie thought to herself.
A small flash caught their attention, and they saw Riolu holding an Aura Sphere before tossing it to his trainer. "You wanna play, little bud." Ash asked as the Pokemon barked with his tail wagging. "Alright. Go long!"
He then reeled his arm back and threw the ball as far as he could. Riolu watched the ball fly through the air, he crouched onto all fours while wiggling his hips, and then he got a running start before he leaped and caught it mid-air, much to the amazement of the one-eyed woman. Once he landed, he proudly raised it above his head.
"Alright, good job, buddy! Now bring it back!" Ash called, but Riolu acted like he didn't hear and started tossing the sphere repeatedly. "Riolu!?" The Pokemon rolled the sphere across the ground. "Riolu, I can't throw it again if you don't bring it here!" The Pokemon tossed the ball before jumping at it, rolling across the ground. "Okay, he's not bringing it back."
Vaggie chuckled. "It's cute though." She says, then she thought for a moment. "Hey, while we're here, do you wanna have a spar with me?"
"Wha… you mean, like… fight you?"
"No, I don't… I mean like a little practice. Ya know, a little bit of training to see how well you can fight on your own."
"Uh… I don't know if I'm up for a spar. I also don't have a spear."
"No, not with…" Vaggie says before setting her spear to the side. "Not with weapons. Just, ya know, a small bit of hand-to-hand. Nothing like harsh or anything." She tells him before thinking. "Have you ever been in a battle without Pokemon?"
"I have… far fewer times than I can count. But I have been getting training from Lucario like I told you."
"Okay, maybe you can show me a bit of what you learned. Come on. Let's do this."
Ash thought for a moment. While he admitted that he did train with Lucario, he did remember how long it had been since he last saw the jackal, so this could help him catch back up even the smallest bit. Not only that but knowing he let his guard down so bad that he was captured by the Vees, this was probably a good place to start.
He nodded before stepping back and then raising his hands. "Alright. Let's go."
Riolu was busy playing with the aura sphere in his paws before tossing it up and then catching it on his nose. He then turned around to show off his skills, only to be disappointed as his trainer and the woman were sparring. He pouted before making the ball of energy disappear and crossing his arms.
He watched as the two were throwing fists, his leg started rapidly kicking the ground, creating a small dirt cloud. After a second of watching the two, he started swinging his fists in the air, wanting to have an opponent to battle like they were doing. Then he looked to the side, blinked, then looked at the duo, and wandered off.
(Meanwhile)
Charlie was up and just finished getting changed for the day. She looked out the window, seeing her lovers outside sparing. She felt a little sad, being the unfortunate one to wake up last between the three of them. However, she didn't mind, especially since she knew that one of them was gonna need to defend themselves after all that happened.
She turned to Keekee and saw her sleeping in bed, curled up with Pikachu. She found it cute that they were getting along and let them sleep, leaving the room.
(Back with the two)
Ash just barely avoided one of Vaggie's fists before bouncing back and throwing some more at her which she caught in her hands before she attempted to attack back. During the spar each time Ash noticed that the woman would always block whenever it was his turn to attack, giving him a small idea as to what her fighting style was.
Vaggie though noticed a lot more from the way the boy was fighting. He wasn't as fast as she last remembered. His punches were soft and she felt almost no power from each one he threw. He seemed to be deliberately doing so as well. That being said, it triggered something in her and she put her hands up in a 'stop' motion.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"What do you mean? We're sparring, right?"
"Yeah, so give me all you got."
Ash looked concerned when she asked that. "What?"
"I know you're holding back. Come on."
"Vaggie, I don't wanna hurt you."
"I can take it. Come on!"
Ash wanted to argue, though she wasn't going to drop it from how she was speaking right now. He looked at his hands, then took a deep breath. He figured maybe he could stop holding back just a little bit, but not by too much.
"Alright. You asked for this." He says before sprinting towards her.
He then started throwing punches faster which Vaggie was blocking, but was having trouble. This made him wonder if maybe he should stop, especially since she was starting to realize her mistake.
As he watched her start to struggle with his hits, time slowed down for one moment as one of his fists moved faster than her hands could. His knuckles weren't far from Vaggie's nose as her one eye widened in fear and recognition. Ash seeing this, his eyes went wide as well.
'No, no, NO!' He thought to himself before he quickly turned, his fist just barely missing her cheek before he lost balance on his footing. 'Oh, man.'
While time still seemed slow, he accidentally pushed her with his shoulder, causing her to fall. Seeing this, he quickly turned fully around to face her, and as time went back to normal, he was able to wrap his arms around her before they went tumbling down the hill. When landing on the ground creating a dirt cloud, Riolu's head popped out from the forest, then sighed in relief before going back.
Once the cloud dispersed, the two were huffing from having the air knocked out of them. Ash opened his eyes and looked down, relieved that he was the one to land with the woman on top of him. Vaggie pushed herself up, looking at him, shocked by what had just occurred.
"S-sorry." He says.
"It's… fine." Vaggie says while blushing out of embarrassment.
It took a second before the boy chuckled.
"I think that's enough sparring." He says.
"Yeah…" She says before starting to laugh a bit.
After a second, a light breeze suddenly blew her hair to the side, lifting it off her face, and revealing her eyepatch. Ash had a small bit of blush around his cheeks, the same happening to Vaggie. It was only for a second that their faces were just inches away, then centimeters… then their lips connected.
They lay there while hugging and kissing. The boy felt the one-eyed woman's tongue enter his mouth, surprised, but doing the same to her, both of them exploring each other's mouths. He could feel her grip around him tighten as she pressed her body more against him, shifting her thighs against his side much to his surprise.
She pulled away after a bit, saliva strings forming between their lips before falling apart. They both panted before the boy looked up at her, she stared down at him with a tint of red spread across her face and was strangely staring at him.
She smiled and leaned down before latching onto his neck. He jumped a bit as he felt her suck and lick his flesh while pressing her body more against his. After a bit, she pulled away, leaving a lipstick ring around a hickey.
However, after a second, Vaggie looked down, realizing what she was doing, and quickly got off of the boy before helping him up.
"I'm sorry, I-I-" She started to say out of embarrassment.
"W-what brought that on?" Ash asks as he snaps out of the moment as well.
"N-nothing, nothing." She says before turning away, face red and mentally slapping herself. 'What the fuck!? Why am I doing these things?' She thought to herself.
Then Ash noticed something. "Riolu?" He says before looking around. "Riolu!?"
"Riolu!? Quit hiding!" Vaggie called out as well before she started to look concerned. "Riolu!?"
(Meanwhile)
Riolu was in the forest throwing punches at a tree, breaking the bark off the spot. The more he drove his fists into it, the more the inside began to mold into the shape of his knuckles. Eventually, he stopped and checked the results. All he got was disappointment.
He looked at his paws and while they were dirty, they weren't damaged. This tree wasn't gonna be a good opponent. Heck, it couldn't even fight back so he couldn't even call it an opponent.
Frustrated, he threw one more punch at the tree, hard enough to shake it this time. Before he could do anything else, he felt something hit him in the head before he stumbled back. Rubbing his head, he blinked for a second before looking at what hit him.
It looked like a big yellow shell with a pointy side on one end, and a round side on the other. He looked puzzled before curiously observing it, then saw two white dots appear in the two small holes, staring at him. He was startled at first but then became more curious. Then more started to fall from the tree, landing around him.
He got more puzzled, wondering what they were at first, before the one he first found started to crack and glow. As it started to become brighter, a big, sharp tip burst from the shell, making the jackal jump back. Then as the shell started to break apart, a large bee-like creature with two large stingers for hands burst free, its wings buzzing before it stared at him with bright red eyes.
Seeing this, Riolu got a little smile, thinking he found a good opponent. That smile soon faded as he noticed the others starting to do the same before looking back at the lead one who stared at him with one feeling in mind… anger… anger that soon plastered fear on the little Pokemon's face.
(Back with Ash)
Ash suddenly felt a jolt in his body before looking around with worry.
"Ash?" Vaggie asked.
"I… I just felt something…"
He then suddenly got that strange feeling again. He swore he had felt something like this before somewhere. Back in the Sinnoh Region when he felt something that was almost like… a cry… for help.
His eyes slowly widened as he recognized the feeling. Then he slowly began to turn to the forest, as the feeling of fear filled his face.
"Riolu." He says, which Vaggie's face drops in realization.
(Back with Riolu)
The small Jackal was rushing through the forest, switching between running on the ground and jumping from tree to tree. Fear plastered on his face as an army of large bees was hot on his tail. Desperate to throw them off, he punched a branch off a nearby tree and chucked it at them. That didn't do much as they easily dodged it.
While still attempting to escape, he was desperately sending out a distress signal to anything nearby with his aura. One of the bees' stingers glowed before it rapidly started throwing them forward, small blasts firing at the jackal who was dodging them as best as he could, stumbling a bit, causing one of them to just barely miss.
In another attempt, he created an Aura Sphere and then threw it at them. The bees seemed to have dodged at first, but the sphere suddenly did a u-turn and came back, hitting one of them and causing a small explosion, the blowback being close enough to throw the jackal off his footing. The explosion in question alerted the duo that went in for him.
After the dust cleared, Riolu coughed as he pushed himself up before shaking like a dog. Panting, he looked behind him, hoping he finally shook off the bees. They were still there. They seemed to have been affected by the attack, on the ground just barely holding themselves up.
He smiled believing he was victorious… before they started to recover more quickly. He got scared and quickly got up before looking around, then seeing his trainer and the woman and quickly making a run for it while barking desperately.
"Riolu!" Ash called before the jackal jumped into both of their arms.
"Finally found you." Vaggie says before she saw the swarm of bees start to approach. "Ah, shit." She says as she draws her spear.
Ash pulled away and reached for a Pokeball, only to become regretful as he hadn't brought any. He then did a double-take as he looked down. He saw that the jackal was not only scared but spotted something that caused something in him to snap.
As the bees started to just reach and were ready to attack. Ash's head snapped in their direction and a blue shockwave sent them back and tumbling. The bees were left dazed from the impact. Looking back, they all saw the boy giving off a menacing aura, his hair flaring up as his bright blue eyes pierced their souls.
That sent chills down their spines and they soon all took off in the direction they came from. Seeing that, Vaggie and Riolu looked shocked before looking up at the boy, who was still staring before taking a deep breath and letting it out as he changed back to normal. He then looked down at them with a soft gaze before kneeling.
"Show me your leg." Ash says while looking at the jackal.
Riolu got nervous before raising his left leg, revealing that it was slightly grazed.
"Oh my god." Vaggie says while covering her mouth.
The boy only shook his head before covering the wound with his hand. A blue glow emitted in his palms as he held it still for a little bit. He pulled away and the wound was gone. Seeing this, Riolu rubbed it, then kicked it a bit, looking happy at it before looking up at his trainer, but his smile faded as he saw the boy wasn't smiling back.
"Riolu, you can't go running off like that, and you can't just pick fights with random Pokemon. You could've been hurt even worse than now." He told him off. "You had us worried sick about you."
Hearing that, the jackal only whimpers as he hides his face in his arms. The one-eyed woman brushed his fur while giving him a sympathetic stare. After the moment wore off, the boy's stern expression faded into a more sympathetic one before he reached out and pet the jackal's head.
"I'm only looking out for you." He says as the Pokemon looked at him. "Please, be careful next time."
The Pokemon stared at him before slowly nodding. Then he let out a quiet yawn.
"Alright, sweetie." Vaggie says as she stands up while cradling the Pokemon. "You're gonna be staying with me for a while. Okay?"
The jackal looked up at her, not making a sound. Only blinked before snuggling into her hold while closing his eyes. Seeing him at peace brought a wave of relief to the two. Ash stood up before they looked at each other then smiled before he gave the Pokemon a little scratch before they left the forest.
(Sometime earlier)
Charlie was about to go downstairs before she saw Delia sitting in the living room and stopped. The woman was holding a picture up, to which the princess leaned down for a better look.
It was a picture of her smiling with her son, but Ash looked a lot younger with lighter skin and was wearing a different outfit. Pikachu was on the boy's shoulder, but he looked more round than currently. What Charlie was more surprised about was that Delia looked as though he hadn't aged a bit. She wondered how old the photo was.
The older Ketchum seemed sad as she was looking at the photo. The princess wondered if there was something she could help with and made her way downstairs, catching the woman's attention.
"Oh, Charlie, good morning." Delia says, greeting her.
"Good morning, Mrs. Ketchum." Charlie says as she walks up to her. "Sorry, I don't mean to be nosy, but…"
"It's completely fine, dear. I'm just… reminiscing a bit of… the past."
"Is that so."
"Yes, this here is Ash on his days after he turned eleven." She then showed the blonde the picture. "He had just come back after traveling around our home region. At the time he was so excited to participate in the Pokemon League."
"Really? He was that young?" Charlie says before looking at the picture closer.
"Yep."
"Wow… I was thinking about who to ask to prom at that age."
"Yes, my son was very stubborn at his age. No matter what, he always insisted on becoming a Pokemon Trainer back when he was even younger than this." Delia tells her before looking back at the photo. "It was like it was only yesterday when he was so young, and he's still going on these wild adventures. But… he's not a little boy anymore."
"I… well, I don't… really know that feeling too well." Charlie tells her.
"Yes, and now he's on his way to becoming an adult… especially with your help." The woman whispered the last part with a bit of a teasing smirk.
"Uh…" Charlie's face turned red before she uncomfortably laughed. "Yeah, uh…" She scratched her cheek. "I wanted to apologize for that. I know premarital sex is frowned upon but-but-but… I-I just figured that… you know, because we love each other I just…" She sputtered with her words before staring with embarrassment. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine dear. But… please do not do that in my house again."
"Understood."
"Though to be honest, I'm more sad to know that my boy can't have children, but… that doesn't change how happy I am for him."
Charlie smiled a bit before trying to think of a new topic. She looked over at the kitchen, then a thought occurred.
"Do you mind if I help you make breakfast?" She asks.
"Dear, that's sweet of you, but you don't have to." Delia tells her.
"Please, I don't wanna just be staying in your house without contributing."
"Charlie, you're our guest."
"I know, but I still wanna help out. So please, can I help you?" She then says with pleading eyes.
"Oh, alright." Delia says before getting up with a smile and going to the kitchen as the blonde pumps her fist before following.
(Later)
While they were chopping vegetables, Delia was putting the bit she had in the pot while Charlie stopped cutting for a second. The woman took out another and was gonna start before a thought came to mind.
"So, what is your father like?" She asks.
"Huh… uh?" Charlie says before hissing through her teeth, looking hesitant to answer. "Well, he's… he's nice. He's a pretty big fan of ducks."
"Oh?" The woman asks in astonishment as the blonde nods. "Huh? Never thought I'd hear someone talk about… the devil in such a way, but then again, I didn't expect my son to be dating his daughter… no offense."
"None taken. I can't control how people see him." Charlie explains as she starts chopping again before stopping and frowning. "But I haven't seen him in a while."
"Really?"
"Yeah, ever since he and my mom separated he hasn't really wanted to see me. He's only called me if he needs me to do something. I… haven't even told him I started dating again."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's fine. He's still got my brothers and sister with him. They sometimes drop by and text me about how he's doing."
"I see." Delia says before looking down. "Charlie." She says while gesturing to the chopped vegetable.
"Oh, right." Charlie says while handing them to her.
"Still, your father still sounds like a nice guy. I'm sure if you give him enough time and if he loves you as much as you say, he'll come back to you." The woman says while putting the ingredients in the pot before taking a ladle and stirring. "I'm also sure it wasn't easy to be raising you on his own."
"Actually, me and siblings were all adults when my mom left."
"Oh… well still, it's probably best to let him have some time to himself and he'll come around once he feels better."
The princess nodded. Then she thought for a moment as the woman put a lid on the pot.
"Mrs. Ketchum." She says as the woman looks at her before she looks back. "I know the whole thing with the three of us dating is a little weird, but I really do love Ash. I'm sure Vaggie does too. Every time he shows up, he's always trying his hardest to help even though he's not getting a reward out of it. He's better than any other guy I've met."
Delia now had her full attention on the princess.
"When I first told him we couldn't have kids, he was sad about it. Kinda makes me wish I could… Just so that he'd be happy." She continued, inhaling through her nose. "And with Riolu here, I thought maybe even I could…" She noticed her eyes watering and quickly wiped them. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dump all that out." She says before she feels her shoulder grabbed.
"Charlie." Delia says in a soothing tone. "You've already said enough." She says before stepping forward and pulling the blonde into a hug. "You are such a kind and caring girl, and I am so glad my baby met someone like you."
Charlie was left awestruck as she became stiff for a moment. Her eyes started to water again before she hugged back while burying herself in the woman's shoulder.
She felt warmth in the hug, but also a familiar feeling. A feeling that she missed long ago with her own mom…
"If you ever want to talk again, I'll wait. Do not be afraid to speak your mind." Delia says while pulling back before kissing the blonde on the forehead, then going back to the pot. "Now, I think I can handle things here. Just wait until breakfast is done. Okay?"
Charlie stared for a moment before wiping her eyes. "Okay… t-thank you." She says while leaving the kitchen.
The woman watched while Mr. Mime walked in with more ingredients. She just smiled. She was happy to know that her son was dating such an angel… metaphorically speaking.
As Charlie entered the living room, she stopped before covering her mouth. Tears she thought to have wiped away ran down her face. She quickly tried to wipe them away before the front door opened as Ash and Vaggie walked in with the snoozing jackal.
"Seriously, I am not bringing him near that forest again." Vaggie says as she cradles the Pokemon.
"Yeah, I agree." Ash says before looking forward, noticing his other girlfriend. "Charlie?"
"Babe, are you okay?" Vaggie asked in concern.
"Yes!" Charlie's voice cracked before clearing her throat. "Yes, I'm fine, I just…" She starts to say before smiling. "... got something in my eye."
"Are you sure? You don't-" Ash started to say before she suddenly hugged both of them.
The two were taken aback at first but didn't say anything and returned the hug. As she rested her head between their shoulders, her smile widened as she felt their warm embrace. She was so happy they were there for her. First was Vaggie, and now was Ash. She was happy that she had two people supporting her in all of this.
While hugging, Riolu stirred and looked up. He had a hard time seeing what was happening, but when he started moving, it caught the others' attention and they separated.
"You're already awake?" Vaggie asked, slightly baffled.
"Heh, just a little rest can go a long way, huh buddy?" Ash says while petting the Pokemon's head.
"Yeah, you're just full of energy, aren't you?" Charlie asks with a baby voice before the jackal reaches out. "Oh, you wanna be with Mama Charlie?" She says as the other jumps a bit. "Oh, come here." She then says while picking him up as he makes himself comfortable in her arms.
'Mama Charlie?' The boy thought to himself before remembering something he heard a while back about Pokemon hatching and mouthed- 'Oh.'
Vaggie just shook her head before taking Charlie's arm and leading her to the couch to sit. Ash watched before he decided to go to the kitchen with his mother.
When they sat, Riolu stretched in the blonde's lap. "What did he do in the forest?" Charlie asked.
"Uh… he… was running around. Pretty fast." Vaggie says, not wanting to tell the truth.
"Aw, you got a little work-out? You must be so exhausted." The blonde says before the jackal starts sniffling then looks at her belly before sniffing it, puzzling her before he stuck his snout through the buttoned part of her shirt, making her gasp. "Riolu, what are-HAHA! Stop! That tickles!"
"Riolu, stop it." Vaggie says before pulling his head out. "I'm sorry, he was doing that to me just a couple of days ago." She says before the Pokemon rested his ear against her stomach.
"It's fine. He's just a curious little cutie, yes you are." Charlie says while scratching his ears.
Ash chuckled before meeting with his mother. "Hey, mom. How's it going?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just getting to know one of my future daughters-in-law." Delia says jokingly.
"Mom!"
"I'm just saying. I am looking forward to the wedding."
"Mom! We haven't even been dating for a year."
"And yet you decide it's best to 'get it on' with them after 'not dating for a year'." She says with air quotes.
"... No comment."
"Still, I'm glad you're with someone who truly cares for you. Two girls at that."
"Yeah, I know."
"Makes me wonder what you have planned for Valentine's Day."
"Yeah, I k-Wait what?" Ash's face dropped in an instant.
"Valentine's Day. It's in a few days." Delia explains before looking at her son. "Ash, you did remember to get them a Valentine's gift, didn't you?"
"..." Ash stared at her, wide eyes. "Crapbaskets."
"Ash!"
"I got caught up in a lot of things! I wasn't keeping track of the-Oh, dear, Arceus. What am I gonna do?"
"Calm down, son. Look, you spent some time with them. Surely you have an idea of what to get them."
"Uh… well…" The boy racked his head as he tried to think of something.
"Take it easy." Delia tells him. "Look, you still have plenty of time. But don't let the day slip by. Especially since you have two to get gifts for." He looked at her after she told him that. "I'm sorry, I didn't pressure you, but I just wanna make sure you know."
"Right. I have time. Things should be fine… no big deal." He says while smiling widely while one of his eyes twitched.
All this happening and Pikachu and Keekee had slept through it all.
(A day later)
Ash was in the Tree of Life again with two of his Pokemon. After so long, it was refreshing to be back in such a peaceful place. He could see some of the Pokemon there look surprised, but did welcome him back and he felt better about being back. It made him think about bringing his girlfriends here, not to see him train, but just to spend time there.
Then another Pokemon flew in and the boy smiled after recognizing him. "Hey, Mew. I'm back buddy."
The Pokemon cheerfully flew over and rubbed against the trainer, then did the same with Pikachu. Being that he'd come before the week when he was stuck in Hell, of course, it was not unlikely that they'd find their other friend there. Now though, he had something to take care of.
He let Pikachu and Riolu off his shoulders before approaching the crystal. It glowed and released a bright flash that made everyone cover their eyes. Looking back, they saw Lucario standing in front of them, staring at them. Riolu approached the taller jackal, staring mouth agape and looking amazed at what his future might be like.
"Hey, Lucario-" Ash started to say.
"Greetings, Ash. If you are receiving this vision, I can only assume you haven't been showing up for your training as of lately." Lucario says in a stern tone which startled them. "I am unable to tell if whatever kept you busy must have been important. So I hope anyway. We will be catching up on the days we missed."
Hearing that, the boy only sighed, having a feeling that was coming. Riolu still looked amazed before he started bouncing in place, waving his arms in the arm, trying to get his elder's attention. The others felt bad as the boy walked up to the Pokemon and knelt before putting a hand on him.
"He's not gonna respond to you, Riolu. He's not really here." He explains.
Hearing that, the small jackal looked up at the bigger one and sighed while looking down, dejected. Once everyone wasn't looking at Lucario's face, one could say that his eyes turned sympathetic towards the pre-evolved Pokemon. That of which quickly shifted to being stern before stepping forward.
"We will begin training immediately. Follow me." He says before walking past them.
Ash looked back before nodding, then adjusting his hat before standing up. "Come on, I'll show you a bit of our training."
With that, he went to follow the bigger jackal. Riolu stared for a moment before following him.
TK: Okay, this is the part where we speed-run events.
AF: Yes, and this small break was totally necessary.
TK: …
AF: …
TK: …
AF: … What?
TK: … *Slaps the shit out of him*
(Some days later)
Unlike last time, this time Ash was the one up late. Leaving him to wake up to Charlie and the sound of the shower echoed from the bathroom, leaving him and her the only ones in the room. While his eyes were on the blonde, seeing her back with her hair pulled over her shoulder as she was pulling up her shirt, he couldn't help but stare.
Before she finished buttoning up, she caught him staring, making him quickly look away. She just giggled before looking at him with her eyes half closed.
"Enjoy the view? ~" She says while leaving her shirt as it was for cleavage.
"I mean… y-yeah. I'm not gonna lie." He says which seems to surprise her a bit. "Sorry, didn't mean for it to come out like that."
"It's not an issue, it's just… never thought you'd be that bold."
"Yeah, I've been kinda working on that. I just figured it'd be nice to give a shot at not being the shy one for once."
"Aw, I like it when you're shy. It's what makes you cute."
Ash smiled at her while blushing before looking at the bathroom. "I'm surprised you didn't go in with Vaggie."
"We don't always shower together. She told me she'd be alright on her own."
"Gotcha." He then looked around, seeing the Pokemon and Keekee had already left. "So, it's just you and me."
She looked at him, then smirked before she got down on the bed, catching him off guard as she started making out with him. Ash went with it and kissed back, sharing a passionate moment between them. At first, he was expecting just the kiss, but it got heated.
Charlie moaned as she pushed her tongue into his mouth and tangled it with his. Then she moved one of her hands under his shirt and lifted it while feeling up his torso. He was taken aback by her sudden advance on him, but after the first three, 'heated times', it wasn't unheard of to him.
After a bit, she stopped and pulled away, leaving small strings of saliva between their lips. While gasping for air, he looked at her face. Her eyes had changed to white and red and was smiling, both of which were full of hunger. As risky as it was, he wasn't against what she was insinuating.
Without saying a word, he reached for her shirt and undid one of her buttons. He figured, 'they could make it quick' surely. As he reached for the next button-
"AH!" Charlie suddenly yelped as something crashed into her back, forcing her to crash down onto the boy.
"AGH!" Ash was shocked, as Charlie was just getting up. "What the-"
BAU!*
A familiar bark rang out as Riolu jumped onto the blonde's head. He stared down at the trainer and barked as his tail was wagging back and forth. He seemed completely oblivious as to what was gonna happen.
"Riolu? You're still here?" Ash says in shock.
Then the jackal jumped off them and onto the floor, bouncing around a bit with excitement. He then pulled out a rubber ball and threw it into the air, tossing it for a bit before balancing it on his nose. They got the hint that he wanted.
"Okay, just, uh… go downstairs. We'll play in a bit." The boy tells him.
"Yeah, just… wait for us, okay?" The blonde asked, to which the jackal looked dejected, but left the room. Afterward, Charlie then realized what she was about to do and looked apologetic. "S-sorry, I didn't mean to… I'm sorry."
"Nah, I don't blame you." Ash says before waiting a second. "You ready to get up now?"
The blonde thought for a moment, then laid down. "Maybe just another minute."
He nodded and put a hand on the back of her head and wrapped his arm around her waist. She lay on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. She smiled as she embraced the warm and relaxing sensation that took her back into slumber. And just like that, any form of lust was now gone.
(Some days later)
AF: I thought you said we were gonna speedrun this shit.
TK: I'm trying okay!
AF: Well, not hard enough apparently.
TK: …
AF: …
TK: …
AF: …
TK: … *Throws pipebomb*
Where was I?... Oh right. Ash was taking his girlfriends out of a movie theater in Celadon City, and Charlie was crying after they finished watching a sad movie.
"Charlie, the movie is over." Vaggie tells her.
"I just can't help it. They were so happy and then he… he…" She sobbed as the other two patted her back as they continued to walk.
Cut to and now they were through a field just outside the city.
"Ash, where are we going?" Vaggie asked.
"Just trust me. You're gonna love it." He says before they made it up a hill and then stopped. "Okay, we're here. Now observe." He then gestures to the direction of the sun where the blonde was the first to look.
"I thought we weren't supposed to look directly at the sun." Vaggie says before Charlie grabs her head and turns her in the direction of the sun. "Oh… wow."
"Yeah, when it's setting, it's fine to look at. Pretty nice, right?"
"It's beautiful." Charlie says with sparkling eyes.
"Heh, was hoping you'd like it." Ash says before sitting in the grass. "It's one of the things I like about traveling. It's a nice and relaxing way to end the day."
They nodded before sitting down, Vaggie scooting closer to Charlie before the blonde wrapped an arm around her. After a bit, he looked at them, seeing them together, and lowered his head before he remembered.
"Oh, right, I got something for you. Hold on." He says before reaching into his backpack as the girls look puzzled yet curious. "Alright, first, Charlie. This is for you."
He then pulled out a plush Teddiursa that made the princess gasp and awe at the doll, then took it as he handed it to her.
"And there's something on his foot." Ash then says while pointing.
Charlie lifted one of the doll's loose feet to find her name in cursive. "Aw, Ash!"
"Take it you like it?"
"I love it! Thank you!" She says before jumping at him.
Vaggie sat by as the blonde was smothering the boy's face in kisses as he laughed. Seeing it made her feel a little left out. After the moment passed, the boy was finally let back up, face covered in kiss marks that gave the blonde a laugh before he wiped his face. Once he noticed his other girlfriend, he quickly went to his bag.
"Hold on, Vaggie. I have something for you too. It's not as big, but…" Ash says before pulling out and taking her hand before placing something in it. "Here."
When she looked, she saw it was a bracelet with black beads that had a white heart with a V etched into it. She looked mesmerized by specifically the heart in the middle of it.
"It's called a Heart Scale. They shed off of Luvdisc which are Pokemon that symbolize love." Ash tells her before he takes it and puts it on her wrist, giving her a chance to look at it. "Again, I know it's not much-"
"No, it's fine. I love it." She quickly tells him with a smile. "It's really nice. Thank you." She says before giving him a peck on the lips.
"You're welcome." He says with a smile. "And Happy Valentine's Day." He says which makes them look taken aback.
"Uh, what?" The one-eyed woman asked.
"... Happy Valentine's Day? Do you not have that?"
"Valen…" Charlie started before both women's eyes widened. "W-wait, that's today!?"
"Oh, fuck!" Vaggie cursed while smacking her forehead.
"I'm sorry, we completely forgot."
"It's okay. We've… been through a lot." Ash tells them.
"I'll try to make up for this, I promise." Vaggie tries to say.
"You don't have to. It's just nice to spend the day with you two."
"No, no, we're not doing that. As soon as we get back to Hell, I'm getting you two a special gift, no questions asked." Charlie says.
"Right… I'm gonna do that too… for you two, I mean." Vaggie also says.
"Okay, I got it." Ash tells them.
After that, they spent a little longer there together, watching the sunset. Sometime after that, he took them on the next train back to his home.
(Final day)
Charlie and Vaggie yawned as they woke up, however, as they did, they noticed something was missing. Keekee was also getting up from her bed and Charlie was still holding her Valentine plush. The only thing that was gone was their boyfriend and the Pokemon.
"Ash?" Charlie asked while looking around in concern. "Ash, where are you?" She called out.
Keekee meowed before holding up a note before the girls took it from her.
The note read- 'Dear, Charlie and Vaggie, I'm sorry that I'm not here when you get up. I'm just going for some morning training with my aura after an early breakfast with Pikachu and Riolu. I'll be back once I'm done and we can make plans for the day. Love you.'
"Oh… wish he'd at least say good morning to us." Charlie pouted.
"No kidding." Vaggie also says annoyed.
Their attention was driven away from the note and to the muffled sound of raindrops. The sounds became louder as they were able to see the raindrops running down the window.
"Oh, guess we're not gonna be going out today." Charlie says disappointed.
After getting dressed they went downstairs with the cat following. They greeted Delia and had breakfast, then Charlie went to the couch with a cup of tea in hand. She considered turning on the TV, but decided against it, instead looking at the window, watching the rain dribble down it.
Vaggie walked over and sat next to her. The princess put her arm around her before they leaned back against the couch together. Listening to the rain taking comfort in it and relaxing as the Keekee joined them, curling up in her owner's lap.
"I wish we could've all been together for this. Especially since we're going back tomorrow." Charlie says.
"Me too. Not looking forward to what we'll see when we go back though." Vaggie says back.
"Come on, Vaggie. I'm sure they're taking care of the hotel without causing trouble."
"Alright. I'll trust them."
(Meanwhile in Tree of Beginning)
Pokemon were running around in an open field, the majority of them playing with each other while others were just wandering about. Riolu was down there, chasing around some Mew as they were playing with an aura sphere. And staring down at them were Ash, Pikachu, and the holographic Lucario.
"Ya know, after what happened last month, getting to see all this is more than just a breath of fresh air to me. I'm glad I get to see this again." Ash says while petting Pikachu's head.
"The tree has been thriving ever since without any trouble since you and your friends left." Lucario says as they look at him. "The Pokemon have been able to be at peace even now. Hopefully, we can keep things as such."
"I know." Ash says before looking away and thinking for a moment. "Ya know, a lot of stuff has happened in the past month. After getting stuck where I was, I tried to keep up with practicing my aura, but… a lot of stuff has happened between then. And I got a girlfriend… two girlfriends. It's a little hard to explain something like that."
Lucario glanced at him before looking forward again. "It isn't unheard of for Aura Guardians to have a unique situation to love." He explains, catching the boy's attention. "A truly pure-hearted aura user can cause those close to them to develop even stronger bonds than before. Some will be more attached or perhaps want more than just being friends. I'm sure you've noticed a few signs of such from other loved ones."
Ash stared at him for a moment before looking away. "Not really. I haven't seen any signs from any other girls." He says, not noticing Pikachu looking miffed for a moment.
"I should know. I witnessed something similar with Sir Aaron and the Queen. Despite abandoning her, I still believe even now that they love each other. Aura can especially influence those feelings and can be fueled by love, whether it's in a moment of distress or producing a healthy descendant and heir if the bond is strong enough."
"Huh, that's neat. Though… I don't think that last part is gonna apply to me, considering my situation." The boy says while seeming disappointed.
"In any case, aura and love are very much intertwined. It's something I suggest you keep in mind. This is gonna be the last time you'll be seeing me. At least for now."
Ash stopped petting Pikachu, then closed his eyes before smiling. "Heh, makes me wish I was actually talking to the real you right now. As cool as these hologram recordings are, I wish I could speak to you right now." He says as Lucario looks at him again. "I… miss you a lot."
A tear ran down his cheek as he finished. Riolu stopped playing with Mew at that moment and looked up at his trainer. The bigger jackal stared for a moment before closing his eyes while smiling.
"I know how you feel. It would be nice to return and be alive once more, but I've made my decision."
"I know…" Ash says before choking up as more tears stained his face. "I know…"
Pikachu got up to comfort his trainer, wiping his tears with his paws. The boy felt a tug at his arm and looked down at Riolu who was giving him a sympathetic glance. He nodded as he picked him up while hugging him and his other Pokemon. They wanted to be there for his trainer.
Lucario took a deep breath before continuing. "Perhaps in another life, we could speak properly. The future is uncertain after all." He then fully turned to the boy and got on one knee then put a paw on his shoulder, getting his attention. "Cherish the ones you care for and they will be there for you as you are for them."
Ash sniffled and nodded. "I will."
"Good." Lucario says before standing up. "This is the end of your training. So, until we meet again."
"Alright… and Lucario." Ash still smiled as he talked. "Thank you."
Lucario only nodded. "You're welcome."
And just like that, he faded away, the light along with him, as if he were never there. The boy stayed there with his Pokemon in his arms, staring at the spot where the jackal had disappeared from.
After a bit, his arms twitched for a second before tightening his hug around his Pokemon. Mew flew over and wiped the tear from his eye. Even the little cheerful Pokemon was concerned for him. He just smiled before petting the little guy.
(A little later)
Charlie and Vaggie were still on the couch with the cat by them. Their moment was interrupted as a flash appeared near the door and the boy appeared with his Pokemon.
"Ash, welcome back!" Charlie says as they get up.
"Good morning, by the…" Vaggie started to say before they noticed something.
The two Pokemon saw and looked down with their ears folded back. Ash though, he looked up at them, his cheeks stained from tears.
"Uh… hi." He says while putting up a smile.
"Shit." Vaggie says before the women run over to him in concern. "What happened? Why are you crying?"
"Are you okay? You didn't hurt yourself did you?" Charlie asked.
"I'm fine. I didn't get hurt." He reassures them.
"Then what happened?"
"Nothing happened just…" He sighed. "I was… saying goodbye to a friend."
"Really?" Vaggie asked.
"Mmhmm, just…" Ash says before wiping his face. "I'm gonna be fine."
"Oh, come here." Charlie says before the girls hold and lead him to the couch.
After a bit, the muffled sounds of the rain finally started to get to him, the feelings of the girls holding his sides, and soon, he felt himself start to calm down. Charlie pulled him closer and rested his head on her shoulder. Vaggie kept her arms around his torso. Pikachu went up and curled up in his lap, Keekee following afterward, half resting on Charlie's, and Riolu got up, partially on Vaggie's.
'Oh, this moment is too precious.' Delia thought to herself as she looked happy and proud before she got up and started to sneak out. 'I need to get a picture of this.'
Ash rested against the couch, his smile still strong and his mind at ease. He wanted nothing more than to remain there forever, without moving. At that moment, he didn't want anything more. At that moment, he had everything he needed.
(The next day)
The hotel was… quiet again to say the least. It was just Husk at his bar, Niffty doing cleaning, Pentious reading a book on inventing, and Angel Dust-
SLAM!*
"HEEEY! Motha fuckas!" He slurred his words as he walked into the place, stumbling and giggling about. "Oh, fuck… tonight was awesome!" He says before falling onto one of the couches.
Then a glow appeared in the middle of the room. "Oh, fucking finally." Husk groaned as he left the counter and the trio, cat, and Pokemon appeared. "Finally back, I see."
"Good to see you too, Husk." Vaggie says with sarcasm.
"Welcome back. It is so good to see you again." Pentious says while tossing the book behind him. "How was your trip to the human… world?" He trailed a bit when noticing something.
"Hey, Pentious. Good to be back too." Ash says before the snake points towards the jackal curiously looking around. "Oh, right. This is Riolu. He was the Pokemon in the egg I showed you earlier."
"Ah, I see. Well… welcome to the Hotel… am I saying it right?"
"You got it. Say hi, bud." He says as the Pokemon waves.
"It had to seriously be a dog of all things?" Husk says.
"He's not a dog. He's…" Vaggie says before trailing for a second. "He's a Pokemon."
Then they were cut off by a burp as the blonde looked over at the couches. "Angel… you drunk?" She asked in an unaccusing tone.
"... Maybe, hehe…" The spider demon laughed.
Ash chuckled before sighing. "Ah, I missed you guys. Missed this place especially." He says before Niffty runs over and starts dashing about, lifting Pikachu and putting him down as if looking for something. "Niffty, are you okay?"
"Where's Gible? Is he here?" She says, frantic.
"... Oh, right. Hold on."
Ash then took his phone and tapped it a bit. Afterward, the Pokeball appeared in his hand and he tossed it up, summoning the desired Pokemon.
"Welcome back to the hotel, Gible." He says.
"YAY!" Niffty says while clinging to the shark. "I missed you so much!" She says, flattering the Pokemon.
Ash chuckled before Husk stepped forward while clearing his throat. "Uh, on the subject. Are you gonna bring any of your… other Poke things back?"
Hearing that, the boy got a feeling he knew what he was talking about. "Just a second." He says before summoning another Pokeball and bringing out Oshawott who looked dazed for a second before seeing Husk.
The cat stared down at the otter before scratching the back of his head. "Hey uh… welcome back, little guy."
Not saying a word, the otter ran and started climbing up Husk, who just covered his face before going back to his bar. Then two little dragons appeared.
"Hey, Razzle. Dazzle. I missed you too." Charlie says while giving them a small nuzzle on their noses.
The two then saw Riolu and flew over to him. They sniffed him, he sniffed them, they sniffed him, he sniffed them… and they were friends instantly.
"Ah, Charlie! Ash! Welcome back!" Alastor says as he walks into the room. "How was your trip?"
"Hi, Alastor. It was really fun." Charlie says.
"That's good to hear." He says before looking down. "And who's this little one?" He says while reaching for the jackal, only for Riolu to jump back and get on all fours before growling harshly at him. "Ooh, feisty already."
"Riolu, it's okay. He's with us." The princess tried to say.
The jackal didn't let up, only backing up slightly while growling and glaring harshly at the Radio Demon. Ash looked between the Pokemon and the demon in question, sensing that there was tension already. He didn't like seeing that his new Pokemon was getting hostile with Alastor on the spot, but he also had a feeling this wasn't for no reason.
"I see you haven't destroyed the hotel with us gone." Vaggie says. "Not bad."
"Did anyone show up?" Charlie asks with a bit of hope.
"Nope." Husk says as Oshawott is already messing with his fur.
"Aw…"
"We'll get there." Ash says while patting her shoulder.
(Later)
Riolu and Pikachu were bouncing on the throuple's bed. Razzle and Dazzle were watching them, heads bobbing up and down as they watched the two having fun before their trainer and owners arrived and they stopped, especially as Charlie flopped on the bed.
"Oh, I missed this." She says, muffled.
"It's nice to be back." Vaggie says as she sits on the bed next to her.
"Ash's bed was nice, but…" The blonde says as she undoes both ties on her ponytail, letting her hair come undone on the sheets. "I just miss my own home."
"Hehe, I know that feeling." Ash says as he drops his hat on a nearby dresser before he flops on the other side of her. "That feeling when you get back home after a long journey and get to be back home." He says before lifting his face. "Well, that's less of a bed thing, honestly."
"Still counts." Charlie says, still muffled.
"Yeah, think I might stay here for a few days." He says before the girls both look at him. "Think I'm still kinda used to what's down here, anyway."
Hearing that, Charlie thought for a moment before she got up and sat on the bed. "Actually, on the subject, Ash. I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?" Ash asked as he sat up.
"Well, ya know now that we're dating and all, I… I just… don't know I wanna go back to… the old thing."
"What thing?"
"The thing where you leave the hotel on your own home for the night." Vaggie explains.
"Yeah, that." The princess explains.
"I…" Ash started to say, but trailed off for a moment. "Are you saying you don't want me to leave at all-"
"No! No, no, no, we're not… saying that, but…" Charlie quickly says while waving her hands. "We're just saying… now that you're dating us, it might get a little lonely without you here with us."
"Wait, are you saying you want me to stay down here longer?"
"Something like that." She then pulled out a calendar. "Like, maybe you can stay for a-a week here and next week we can come and stay with you in your home or… maybe half the week we can spend here and the half uh…" She tossed the calendar. "I don't exactly have a schedule planned out, but… you know what I mean, right?"
"Yeah, you're trying to say we stay some days in the hotel and others in my world, right?"
"YES! Oh, thank god you got it." She says before huffing a bit. "Are you…"
"Yeah, I'm down with that."
"YES!" She then hugged him. "You are the best boyfriend, EVER!"
He chuckled before hugging back before Vaggie got on the other side and joined the hug.
"We'll work out a schedule at some point." She says. "Maybe tomorrow you'll be up for an activity."
"Wait… SHIT! I did it again!" Charlie groans. "Oh, we still haven't gotten back into the activities for redemption! Ugh!" She then drops her head on her boyfriend's shoulder. "Husk was right. I need to my priorities straight."
"Yeah, well let's worry about that tomorrow. We'll get through this. I'm sure." Ash tells her.
"Yeah, let's get some rest now." Vaggie says.
"Well, maybe rest in a little bit." Charlie asks.
"What for?" She asks before the blonde winks at her and she gets the message. "Wait, now?"
"Of course."
"Isn't it a little early?"
"I don't think so."
"Wait, what are you talking about? What's up?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"Well… just a second. Hey guys." She referred to the Pokemon and animals. "Can you go in there real quick?"
They looked over, Pikachu, Keekee, Razzle, and Dazzle caught on and went straight for it. Riolu fell behind in confusion before he followed them. They all went into a little house in the corner with a sign saying 'soundproof' above the door, the electric Pokemon ushering the others in before going in while closing the door.
"What? When did we get that?" Ash asks, still not catching on. "Why do we have that?"
"For this." Charlie says before pinning him to the bed.
"Woah, wait-wait, we're doing this now?" He asks, caught off guard.
"Yeah, hope you don't mind our little welcome back. ~" The blonde says before trailing her hand down his chest.
"Don't worry, hon." Vaggie says before leaning into his ear and whispering. "Te vamos a cuidar bien. ~"
He didn't even know what that meant, but the tone spoke volumes, and it triggered something in him.
He looked between the two, both of them smiling and leaving him red-faced. They were waiting for him to agree to it. He took a moment to think before looking back at them. Then after a second, he reached up and started to undo their buttons.
