Not much to say as of now. This chapter broke last chapter's word length and put this one just with around 7k words. It's part one of a 2 part chapter since there's two different transportation types to the city so I split the chapter into two due to size. If you'd like, I will post the full length one, if I have a chapter of that big size again, instead of posting two chapters. If that makes sense.
Also! Lemon next chapter! First one I'm doing in a long time so can't promise quality. I'm also still accepting OC's and some are mentioned briefly, as well as their roles, in this chapter. Pairings are still being accepted!
@Destroyahirismix666: Holy crap, now THAT'S a review I enjoyed. First off, nice pun. It made me giggle when I first read that. You'll see barely any similarities to The Club, one will be seen for sure in this chapter, but the idea is not too similiar to that stories. I never seen Code Geass so I don't really know what to say there, sorry. I'm trying to avoid a full-on "jerk off story" as those do get old VERY quickly to me. This has more of a plot and I'm writing it more for what I enjoy than what most would deem as fapfodder. It's more plotted than fappable. If that makes sense. But seriously, thank you for the review!

It was no more than 5 in the morning when an alarm could be heard throughout the room. I had no idea what was making this extremely obnoxious sound so I got out of bed, as much as I really wanted to stay in bed but this sound was literally the most annoying thing I'd ever heard before, and followed the sound to a spot on the dresser. Then it hit me that it was that cell phone Mike had given me. Could have picked a less annoying ring tone, honestly. Not one of those that would drive you insane within five seconds of hearing it?
Opening the phone to shut off the alarm, I'd noticed it had a message. Since Mike said this phone was mine, I'd decided to read what it was.
Sen,
It is now 5 A.M. and it is time for you to get up. The journey hear will take you around a day knowing how Candy is traveling and, with how you seem to be nervous about everything, she'll probably make a stop to.. help you out and calm you down. There's a waterfall nearby that she always loves to show to those who she brings here so don't be surprised if she wants you to see. And, be aware, if she tries something you don't like, tell her. She'll appreciate the honestly.
Please don't forget to shower, as well. You'll be meeting a few people here when you arrive after you go shopping with Casey, Candy, and Sabella if she would want to go with you. Depending on availability, maybe even a few of the higher-ups of the town. That should be all I have to say for now. If anything is to come up, I will message you again. You'll be unable to reply to this as it's one way.
Have a safe and fun day Sen.
Regards,
Mike.
Hmm. I guess I have to be aware of Candy. He didn't mention any of the others. But the idea of that waterfall did seem interesting so I'd love to see it if time is on our side. Knowing me though, that would probably not be the case. I'm always bad with being out somewhere at a certain time or being somewhere quick enough.
I shrugged and walked over to bed. I noticed Candy and Casey were awake and Sabella was still fast asleep. "She a heavy sleeper?" I asked.
"Yep," Casey answered, "It's hard to wake her up. You could do anything you want to her and, 9 times out of 10, she'll still be asleep through it. Believe me, we've tried a lot of things." A smirk appeared on Caseys face and I kind of got what she meant. I simply rolled my eyes.
Thank Arceus I'm not a heavy sleeper or I'd be in trouble. I couldn't help but smile at my own thoughts. "I'm going to go take a shower. Don't think of this in a weird way, but do you guys shower as well?" They both nodded.
"Now let me ask another, alone or together with someone?"
"I love showering with people," Casey answered. "I don't know why. But having people washing me in places I can't reach, or sometimes don't want to reach," she said as a small blush formed on her face, "just puts a smile on my face. Just having someone help me out is awesome."
"Well, I see. Fair enough. Candy?" She shook her head in confirmation of what Casey said. She wasn't much of a talker from what I've noticed. Maybe some sort of condition. I don't know, I might ask her later. Actually, I will for sure.
"Well since you both do, and I'm someone who likes to make people, and Pokemon, happy, I guess this'll be my first time showering someone. But," I paused, looking for the rights words, "I'm.. trusting you two. You know I've never had an experience like you two have with a Pokemon. So please, don't try anything."
"Don't worry, Sen. We won't." Casey said. I nodded and got up.
"Well, I guess Casey, you come with me first. We'll work on you then, when done, you can get Candy. Is that okay?" They both nodded. And with that, I set off to have my shower with two completely strange Pokemon who most likely want to shag me for one reason or another. But they promised they wouldn't make a move on me so trust was with them.
I didn't both closing the door behind us since Candy would see me naked later on in her shower. I took off the rest of my clothing rather slowly due to nervousness and Casey seemed to noticed. I was also kind of embarrassed about this. I don't know what it is about this but it's weird to me.
"You don't have to worry about anything, Sen. I might be someone who thinks you're cute and wouldn't mind trying something with you but I promised I wouldn't." I fucking knew it. "So please, let's just start this shower so we can leave soon. I'm sure Mike told you about the waterfall Candy will most likely show you."
With a sigh, I got up, completely nude, and got in the shower with Casey. I couldn't help notice that she did eye me from head to toe which made this a bit harder on me. But pushing forward, I turned the shower knob on and the shower began. To make this simpler for me, I decided to sit on the shower floor to be level with her.
"I'll wash your fur first. Then, if you want, you can wash me. And I mean wash. Nothing else. Fair enough?" She giggled and nodded. "Okay, then let's just get this done and over with. "
Making sure her fur was all wet, I grabbed the bottle of shampoo that was safe for both Pokemon and human hair or fur. It smelled of strawberries so I'm sure she'd enjoy it. I poured a bit in my hand and began scrubbing it into her fur, starting with her head. Her ears weren't that hard to do with how they stuck straight up. After they were all soaped up, I scrubbed the top of her head and the back of it as well. I didn't want to get it in her eyes so I just avoided her face and would let her do that if she wanted to. I was using enough pressure to get any dirty out that she might have but also had a gentle touch that showed I didn't really want to hurt her doing this.
"You know Sen, you're really good with your hands. I've been washed like this before but your hands.. there's something about them," she purred. I smiled and thanked her and continued my treatment. After her head was all washed and cleaned, I got to work on her back and tail. She had more fur than it appeared and I had to be a little bit more forceful and had to use just a bit more of my nails to make sure I was getting out the mess she could have. I was someone who wanted a Pokemon, or myself, squeaky clean and Casey was no exception.
After getting her back and tail cleaned, her front was next. I had to be cautious about this. I know how sensitive a girls front side can be when touched in a certain way and I didn't really want to accidently do that. Not because I really respected her body, which I do, but because I didn't want to send off the wrong message like I almost always do.
I scrubbed down her front side the same as the back but was nervous doing so. Mostly for the reason I just said but still. I didn't really mean to but I did kind of take a bit longer than I'd wanted and I'm still not quite sure why. Hope I'm not losing it or getting turned on by this or something.
"I'm going to let you do your legs or you can just not do them, is that okay?" She nodded and smiled knowing why I said what I said and I was finished. She didn't really do anything besides just rub a little shampoo into her fur, nothing like I did myself. But now is where I got nervous much more than washing her. "Please remember, no-"
"I know, I know. I won't. And if I get the idea, like I always do, I'll ask. I do have respect, you know," she said as she smiled, yet again. "Turn around, Sen, I'm going to wash your back and it'll be easier for me to do your hair." I turned around as instructed and she put the shampoo in her paws and began scrubbing my scalp.
With how big and scary looking her claws were, she was surprisingly gentle. I could feel them ever so lightly rubbing and scraping the dirt away from the previous day. Not that there was much, but you get my point. Without even meaning to, I started leaning into her claws and against her body and let out a content sigh.
"Enjoying yourself?"
"Very much, yes. Your paws are like magic," I complimented. I turned around and gave her a backwards hug and she blushed.
"Well, thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." She said as she continued the treatment. My hair was beyond clean now but she didn't stop for almost 5 minutes of nonstop scrubbing. She was so gentle and made sure not to scalp me and, as much as I hated myself for wanting to think this, I wondered how good she was her hands in... other ways.
She must have practiced that before.. I couldn't imagine how gentle she is in bed. If she's this gentle on my head, I wonder how she'd be if I asked her for a little handjob and show how good she truly.. wait, no! Stop! Not here, not now! And maybe not ever! But she has to be super good with her hands with how she's using them.. I wonder if she's actually a bit good with that tongue of hers as well..
I shook my head in her paws and blushed, realizing I was actually getting turned on by my thoughts. I could even feel myself getting a little stiff just from the thoughts. I did not want that to happen and, if anything were to happen, not here in a Pokemon Center where I could get charged even if something was suspected of happening.
"You okay down there, Sen? Am I doing something wrong?" She asked curiously.
"What? Oh, no! Just me thinking, as usual. Nothing to worry about," I spit out quickly. She was going to say something but hesistated and decided not to press the matter. She knew that if I wanted to tell her something, I would have. Or at least, I hope that's the case.
"Well, turn around. I'm going to do your face and chest then your back. It would be easier for me, if that's alright."
"How come you don't do my back now, since I'm turned that way already?" Truth be told, I'm trying to hide back my growing erection. My thoughts always come at the worst times and I really don't want her knowing this. I could easily regret this if I'm not careful.
"It's just my preference. I hate washing someone's back before their front. Call me weird, it's how I am." She replied simply.
"Do I have to? I mean, we are kind of in a race against time and everything."
She thought for a moment then said, "Okay, you're right," I sighed a sigh of relief. I was safe for now, "let's just hurry up and get this done. I want to get back to town and get all that done." I nodded and she continued her treatment on my back.
Much like with my hair, she was super gentle with her hand movements gestures. She scrubbed with enough force to almost leave light scratch marks but not enough to hurt. It almost felt like getting your back scratched and it just gave me goosebumps from the feeling.
Maybe I should just say 'Fuck it' and go to town with her.. I mean, she's said she would do that with- NO! STOP IT BRAIN! NOW IS NOT THE TIME!
"All done, go ahead and turn around and we'll get your front clean. I'll leave your legs to you as you did me," she said. I hesistated a moment, allowing my erection to go down, again, then turned and faced her cheery face. She took a step closer so she was almost right against me. Truth be told, she was awefully cute.
She began her hand treatment on my front side and said, "You know, I respect that you're so willing to shower with someone you met the night before. How are you so okay with doing this?"
I thought for a moment then replied, "Well, I'm open minded with life. I accept and try new things when presented at the right time. And, if we're going to be living together for a while, then why not start now?"
Her furred paws gently rubbed my torso down to m belly with soap. I couldn't help but shiver at her touch and sigh contently at how gentle she was. "Close your eyes, I'm going to wash your face real quick," She instructed, "But that's also respectable. That's why Mike has asked you to come to our city. You'll like it a lot more than this place."
"Heh, yeah," I chuckled, "probably." I said as her paw touched my face. She pushed my hair off my forehead and began her cleaning again. She slowly moved her paws on both sides with a lot less force than on my back and chest. But she still did use a hint of force. She got to my cheeks and I felt her get even more gentle and I felt one of her paws go under my chin. I looked her in the eyes and she looked into mine.
We stared for a long while. It felt like she was going to kiss me or I was going to kiss her. I don't know why neither of us did but we didn't. I looked away sheepishly and blushed but she seemed unphased more than anything. I think she was kind of expecting to, honestly.
"You know, you're easy to read, Sen. Like a book. I told you, I won't try anything. But if you were going to kiss me, you should have," she stated, "I wouldn't have stopped you. I'm almost guarenteeing you that, once we get back, you'll see a lot worse than this and you might get involved with it. I'm not pressuring, I'm just saying, whenever you're ready, tell one of us. It's best to be someone you trust and I know you trust us. Just take those baby steps.
"You trusted me and Candy enough to sleep in the same bed with you when you had no idea what were like besides our names. You'd even let Sabella if she wanted. We have to return that trust. I'm going to tell you this, but don't say anything to Candy, she's going to make a move on you at the waterfall she likes. She always does. Her relaxation methods are top notch and you'll feel better. Don't let her quiet nature fool you, she's a tricky one to understand. She won't take no for an answer and will do something even if it's just a kiss. I just want you to know that." She stated.
I sighed and nodded. I had a feeling something like that would be said. "I know. I'm just nervous about this whole thing. You know?"
"I do. I've dealt with the same thing with people. I've helped some, Candy has, Sabella many as well. Just whenever you're ready, tell me. Don't prolong it and make it hard on yourself. We don't bite.. much." She giggled and winked. I blushed and giggled as well.
"Thanks, Casey. I will. And please, I want you to be there when it does happen. Whether I'm with Candy, Sabella, some random Pokemon as well, I want you to be there unless you end up being my first. I trust you and I just have a feeling that if I'm not okay with something, you won't do it like others would. " She nodded with a slight smile and with that, we were done with our talk. I rinsed off the soap and stood up with Casey in my arms. I didn't bother turning off the water because I'd have to wash Candy next.
Stepping out of the shower, I dried her off in one of the towels and had her go get Candy. With the information Casey had just relayed me, I'd have to be cautious of Candy since she doesn't take no for an answer, or so she tells me. I mean, I don't know if she'd try anything this early in the morning after waking up, even though people say morning sex is the best thing, I'm still being cautious until then.
Candy trotted in with her usual happy and cheerful look. I wasted no time in getting in the shower or saying hello or anything and just wanted to get this done and over with. Besides, the water was getting a little cold due to how long it had been running. "Is Sabella up yet?" I asked. She shook her head no which was, in my opinion, a good thing because the water would be most likely frigid by the time I'd be out. I don't know about Sabella, but cold water showers put me in a very pissy mood for the entire day. And that's not something I need when I'm apparently meeting someone, or multiple people, who're important.
Casey's shower was all but eventful. I did the same as with Casey and washed her back side with her tail first, which let me tell you, had a shit ton more fur than meets the eye. I had to use almost triple the amount I did on Caseys tail just to get Candy's clean. The rest of her wasn't much effort and, after all was said and done, I turned the shower off and stepped out to dry her off let her run off to wake Sabella.
I had to use a semi-damp towel to dry myself off since Casey and Candy took so much to dry them. Having nothing but the old and used clothes from yesterday, I put them back on and stepped outside. Once out, I was greeted with a 'Good morning' from Sabella to which I replied back and then put my shoes on. I figured we'd be leaving now since they were all ready.
"So, I figure I should ask. Who's leading?" I asked.
Candy and Casey both pointed to Sabella, "Would be her," Casey answered, "since she's a Dark Type, she can see better at night than the both of us. In the day time, we'll take over if she wants." I nodded and with that, we set off on the journey back to where I'd be living at.

*About 2 hours later, approx. 8:30 AM, outside of Rustboro City, 3 and a half hours to Lake**
Due to it being so early and everyone still somewhat tired, nobody talked until around 8, about two hours after we left. We talked a little here and there but it was nothing worth noting. We did stop and grab a bit of breakfast and took it with us. It was nothing big; just enough to hold us over for the time being and to avoid cramps people tend to get after eating then walking big distances.
You'd expect the woods to be somewhat eventful or pretty or something. But these woods? This forest? Fuck, was it boring! Sure, I'm not really an outdoor person so I don't really see the beauty in nature, but this was beyond boring. We hardly saw any Pokemon running around, a few Skitty or Poochyena here and there, but that was very rare.
Finally tired of the boredom, and quietness, I looked to Casey and asked, "So, Casey, you seem to talk to the most," I said in a somewhat moking and playful tone, "What can you tell me about this town where we're going? What should I know in advance?"
"Well, it depends," She answered, "What kind of things are you wondering?"
I thought for a moment. There was a lot I wanted to ask so I had to play my questions carefully and in the correct order. "Well, let me ask this first. How big is the town?" I asked, looking around at the trees while we walked.
"I honestly wouldn't say it's a town. More like a full on city. There is a catch though." She said.
I looked at her confusedly, "What do you mean?"
"Well, you see, the town is built completely underground." I looked at her in disbelief. Underground? How in the.. Well, that does explain how it hasn't been found. But that raises more questions than answers.
"Okay, next question. Why underground?"
"Come on, silly! That's too easy, you should even know that. It's to prevent detection. You see, this town is about 99% Pokephiliacs and about 1% who accept it but don't participate. Imagine a city that size, that's always growing, being out in the open. Everyone would be arrested on the spot." She stated matter-of-factly.
I nodded, "That's what I was figuring. Now, if it's underground, how exactly do we get down?"
"Good question," She said, "I wondered the same myself at first. Not too far past the waterfall that Candy will most likely show you," She said, looking to Candy who nodded, "there is a cave clearing. In that cave, it looks dark and like nothing's there but there is. We have a series of rocks blocking off the entrance down there."
Again, I nodded. "I see. How exactly is food done there? If a city is built underground, it has to be easily a couple of miles beneath the surface. Due to that, there's no sun and that prevents crops from growing."
"Yes, that is true. The scientists we have are top of the line in every field of study; meterology, anthropology, you name it and we have it. Due to this, we've been able to develope a type of synthetic sunlight that helps plants grow. We also have many Psychic Types go with people to bring back food if needed." She answered. I nodded because it all made sense, honestly.
I paused a moment to take in the information. First off, the town was 99% Pokephiliacs which means that anyone, or any Pokemon, would have sex with eachother just for being there. They're completely open to that and, while I give respect for that, it's also frightening to think that I could be some sort of toy for some random Pokemon.
I mean, what if I do something completely stupid if I do go all the way one time and take it too far? I do tend to do that without meaning to and I know that if I do one wrong thing, I could be in serious trouble.
Or maybe I'm just overthinking? Yeah, it's probably that. It'll all be fine. Or maybe it won't be.
Gah. Fuck my brain. You make everything harder than it needs to be.
I sighed which made Casey look at me and ask, "You okay Sen?"
I hesistated for a moment and answered, "Been better. This is just too.. fast.. I don't know. I'm just really nervous about this whole thing. About meeting new people. About starting a new life. About if I do end up doing stuff with one of you," I said, indicating to the three of them, "just this whole thing. It's overwhelming.." I said, looking down. I was actually kind of sad I'd have to be starting my life over now. But, it's for the better and I'm somewhat happy about that.
"Don't be nervous, Sen," I heard Sabella say, "Yes, it's hard at first, but it'll all get easier. Plus, we're here until you want us to go or you're good enough on your own to support yourself. All three of us," She said, looking to Casey and Candy as well as indicating towards herself, "are your friends and we'll be there for you.
"And about your first time. Don't rush into it. Do it when you're ready and with who you're ready with. Whether it's me, Candy, Casey, or some random Pokemon you meet in town, we'll support you. But don't do it because you're pressured. That'll ruin it. And believe me when I say this, once it does happen, it'll happen a lot more." She said with a wink.
I chuckled, "I know. It's just this whole situation is just scary to me. I don't know, maybe I'm over-reacting." I said as I felt Candy nuzzle my leg in efforts to help calm me. Honestly, it did put a smile on my face and I couldn't help but pick her up and carry her. I heard a soft purr coming from her when I did and she just cuddled into my arms. And if that's not soothing, I don't know what is.
"We understand, Sen," Casey said which got a nod from both Sabella and Candy, "We went through it as well. Now look at us! We're guiding a good guy down the same road in hopes he'll start a better life and we'll be the reasons he did. Because we were the ones chosen because of you. So not only are we helping you," She said as she paused, looking for the right words, "you're also helping us by giving us the chance to show what we're truly like."
I sighed, "You're right. Everything's going to be fine. I'm sure I'll fit right in."
"There you go! That's the Sen I was told about; positive thinking." She said with a smile. I chuckled and nodded.
"Mind if I ask another question?"
"Of course!" She replied.
"What exactly is there to do for fun around town?'
She thought for a moment to gather her words, "Well," She began, "The town is split into two sections. In one, it's the more civilized part. There's an arcade, a few restaraunts, a theater, the housing units, and places to work. Then, on the other side, it's the more Pokephiliac-based. There are strip clubs, nightclubs, and there's also this huge club where it's nothing but sex. Literally. You go there and you'll be laid around 5 times in a night with any kind of Pokemon you can imagine. Make a list, and you'll cross off everyone on that list. And I'm not joking either." She said with a laugh. I chuckled nervously and nodded.
"Don't worry Sen. You don't even have to go to that part of town," Sabella said, "Some people avoid it completely. If it turns out it's not your thing, then you still have all the other part of town to enjoy."
"I suppose so. But what about family? How will they know where I am?" All three of them looked at eachother for a moment then Casey answered,
"Well.. from what have heard.. you weren't too close to your parents due to how you were raised and being forced to believe something even if you didn't agree with it. Typically, communication with family is the only thing allowed as long as you keep the city confidential. Since you're an only child, and you aren't close at all with your parents from the information we were told when we first started looking into you, you won't be able to contact them. We're sorry, Sen. We should have told you before hand." Casey looked down sadly.
"Casey, I don't even care," I began, "My parents were some of the worst. They cared more of their beliefs and what was told to them based off assumptions and, whenever I brought up one of my beliefs, I was shuned. I had to live one hundred percent by their standards or face the consequences." I told them.
"Well, wouldn't you have atleast liked to tell them good bye?"
"Pfft," I waved the idea off, "I'd be more likely to tell them to fuck off more than good bye," I chuckled. They also chuckled lightly and we didn't really talk much more. Everything around seemed more peaceful around us now that our talk was over. I still had Candy in my arms, Casey close to my side, and Sabella in front of us to guide the rest of the way.
All in all, the walk was a peaceful one with barely any kind of trouble.

It took us about an hour to get to the lake. We saw a few wild Pokemon that are common around this area: Skitty, Shroomish, a few Poochyena and Mightyena. Casey and Sabella filled me in on a few people I might be meeting if I'm able to.
One guy's name was Jack. He had a Jolteon named Jolty that he'd formed a relationship with. Jack himself was bisexual but his lover, Jolty, was a male. From what I learned of this man, he was younger than me but also committed murder to keep his relationship safe. Not saying that they didn't regret it, or wish another outcome could have happened, but the past is the past. His role in the city was to make sure that peace is held and that there are no spies in the city. The one thing they warned me of was how much Jack hated fellow humans. So it's best to avoid him as much as possible but meeting him is a good thing so you're on his good side.
Then there was Shreya. She was around the age of 20 and, like Jack, is an open Pokephiliac. Her 'team' of Pokemon as a trainor, and contest attender, consisted of a female Lopunny named Emer, a male Azumarill named Mazin, a female Wigglytuff named Mignon, and a Nidorino named Harley. She was the complete opposite of Jack in the sense of her being kind, sweet, and understanding. Granted, she can be a bit manipulative in some ways, not sure how as Casey and Sabella didn't really specify, but that's on rare cases. Shreya was the head of the welcoming committee. She makes sure that you feel welcomed and will help you around town, when needed, if you choose to live alone and without the Pokemon whom brought you there.
Last, but most definitely not least, was a man rumoured to be named Skylar. Now, the odds of me meeting this man are slim to none as he likes to keep his identity a secret until proven trustable. He's the man who has built the city and helped get it to how it is today. I was given no detail of this mans looks nor personality because of Casey and Sabella never meeting him before. But, rumour has it, Skylar is no older than I had to be and looked like your average 19 to 25 year old. Only difference between me and him was that he was incredibly loaded. Which, I guess, made sense if he were able to build an entire city underground filled with all types of buildings, clubs, and house thousands of people and Pokemon.
I sighed as I processed all of these people. While I try not to be the one to quickly judge, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I looked out to the lake with the little furball in my arms and just stood there, admiring the scenery. It was such a beautiful day out, a little hot but it was fixed with the almost constant breeze, clouds were covering the sky, and I had a new life ahead of me. While everything was perfect on the outside, on the inside, it was everything but perfect. It was a nonstop train on thoughts of what it would be like once I'm there and what kind of friends I'd make and whether I'd become someone like Jack or Shreya.
I sat down for a moment and sat Candy next to me. I pulled my legs up against my chest and wrapped my arms around them. Truth be told, I was scared more than nervous. I may have hated life back there, but it was who I was and everything I did. I may have not had many friends, but the ones I did, I held close to me. They meant a lot to me. Just the thought of never seeing them again.. it was hard.
I laid my head on my knees and sighed again. I heard the padded footsteps from behind me and looked to see it was Casey. "You okay, Sen?" She asked.
I shook my head no, "Not really. I thought this would be easy," I said, "That leaving my old life behind would be a piece of cake and I'd not have a care in the world. I can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of having an oppurtunity to escape from that hell-hole. But," I stopped to think and gather my words, "Now that it's happening.. I don't know. I'm scared of everything."
I heard more footsteps behind me and saw it was now Sabella who was on the other side of me. I looked around for Candy and saw she was in front of me, sitting at the edge of my feet with a sad expression on her face. I was so used to seeing her with her peppy expression and her happy look that, seeing her sad like this, it almost broke my heart.
"Believe me when I say this, Sen," Sabella spoke up, "We know it's hard. Look at Candy," I did as I was told and seeing her face again just made it harder for me, "She had to abandon her family to have this oppurtunity. No, let me re-say that. Her family abandoned her because she brought up the idea of doing something out of their species ordinary. Our town took her in and gave her a place to stay.
"Then there's Casey," She continued, "Her and her trainer both came her at one time. They were as close as can be, practically lovers." I looked over to Casey and she nodded in confirmation. She wrapped an arm around my side and I kindly did to her as well, "One day, he went on a journey to visit his family. It's allowed but not recommended. But, he has yet to return. We fear he was caught by a group of anti-pokephiliacs as they're getting more knowledge of the city. We haven't heard a word from him and that was almost 3 years ago."
I sighed and hugged Casey. I knew what it was like to lose someone you love deeply. Whether she loved him as a soul mate or just a friend, it's hard and nobody should experience such pain. It destroys you from the inside and will tear you down worse than ever imagined. Believe me when I say this, I have experienced it and it's not fun. To see Casey still here, hoping to see him again some day, it's truly heartwarming.
"Then there's me.. I was raised by anti-pokephiliacs. I was a tool for them; to battle and, if I lost, I'd be beaten. I finally got tired of it and fought back against them. I showed them the pain they put me through," She paused for a moment, most likely to regain her composure as I saw this was a hard subject for her, "then I ran. I ran more than ever before. That's when I ran into Mike. He took me in, asked what happened, and took me to where you're going.
"It was a hard transition going from being told what to do, to being able to do what I want. I still expect to be beaten, as sad as it seems, if I displease someone. But it's getting better.." I nodded. She was right. Everyone has to go through this sort of change someday. It's going to be hard, no doubt about it, but I have 5 good friends who're going to watch over me while I make this transition. I had Mike, Espeon, Casey, Candy, and Sabella and they've been better friends in this past day than any of my older friends in the last 5 years.
"The point she's trying to make Sen," Casey said, "is that, while yes, it will be hard and scary, you won't be through it alone. A lot of people have to do this. You'll have a much better life and it'll be the one you've always dreamed of. We've all felt what you're feeling. Just know you won't be alone with this. We'll all be here for anything, and that's a promise."
I looked around to all three of them. They all nodded and smiled and I couldn't help but smile back. As much as I didn't want to, I felt a stray tear run down my cheek. Candy was the first of them to notice so she jumped onto my knees and licked the tear away and nuzzled me. It was such a kind gesture and it truly meant a lot to me. I gave her a big hug and gestured for Casey and Sabella to join in. Casey did without a second thought but Sabella hesistated for a moment and saw that it would mean a lot to me so she reluctantly did as well.
I sat there, holding my new family, for almost 5 minutes with no words, no movements, nothing. I seriously didn't want to break the embrace but I did and said, "Come on girls, let's get going. I'm sure Candy wants me to see this waterfall I've been told about," I looked over to Candy who nodded excitedly. I smiled and stood up then drew out the Poke Ball Mike had given me. Clicking the center button, I enlarged it and, with a mighty throw, a bright light appeared.
Out came a white animal with a very small horn on tope of its head. It had two fins on both sides of its body and one larger tail fin. The Pokemon also had two razor sharp looking teeth poking out of it's mouth. The Pokemon was easily recognizable as a Dewgong.
She looked around for a moment to see where she was then saw someone she recognized, "Oh my god, hi Casey! It's been so long!" She exclaimed in a very feminine voice. Casey ran over to her and almost dived into the water but didn't. Instead, she said,
"I know, right! We have to catch up on things, but first, I'd like you to meet Sen," She gestured to me, "He's a new one we've found and are taking back to town. That's where you come in. He has said that Dewgong is his favorite Water Type so that's why you're chosen." She looked over to me and said,
"Nice to meet you, Sen! My name's Kelly. I hope you haven't been bugged by how much Casey talks," She giggled.
"Hehe, not in the slightest. It's nice to have someone to talk to. I know the other two aren't real talkers, more like listeners, but still." I replied.
"I understand completely! I have to ask, ever rode a Pokemon for sea travel before?" She asked. I shook my head no and she continued, "Well, first time for everything. Hope you don't mind getting wet. Won't be the last time where we're going," She said with a hint of seduction and a giggle at the end. I couldn't help but blush.
"I'll see you when we get there. Do you want me to bring you out when we get to the waterfall?" I asked Sabella.
"Eh, sure. If I know Candy, you'll need help, unless Casey is there for you. If she is, then don't worry about me." I nodded and said good bye again, withdrawing her into the sphere.
"Candy, Casey, either of you want withdrawn?" They both shook their heads no, "Alright. So, Kelly, how do you want to do this?"
She thought for a moment then said, "Just jump in and climb onto my back. The phone you're given is waterproof so you don't have to worry about that. Only thing you'll worry about are your clothes so I hope you'll have some new ones when you get there."
I nodded and did just as told. I jumped in and and swam over to her. With a little bit of her help, I climbed onto her back. She swam closer to shore, why she didn't for me is a mystery, and Casey and Candy both jumped over to me in my arms. Casey took a seat behind me and wrapped her arms around me and Candy in front of me, tucked into my chest.
"Be warned, Sen. I swim fast. So if I were you, I'd hold on, and also keep an eye on Candy. If she's tucked in good, she should be fine. But still, just to be careful, try and keep an eye on her. Are making that stop at the waterfall as usual?" I nodded in confirmation and with that, she took off.
The crisp, salt sea air was refreshing. We weren't going as fast as I thought we would be but we were still moving at quite a considerable pace. The wind was blowing through my hair and nobody spoke a word. We all just took in the vast amount of water and just admired how amazing it felt at this very moment. Well, maybe they didn't, but I did. I don't always get to see this kind of thing.
I was truly feeling at peace right now. I hope it sticks.
