Chapter 6: A quest and a monster.
The digital clock on the nightstand in his room read 7: 30 in the morning and Rex was starting his day in the best possible way, naked with the gorgeous, sensual mistress of the inn on top of him riding his cock passionately, the constricting warm embrace of her walls squeezing his member with their iron grip, writhing and clenching viciously around him, she added a hip gyration as she moved up then down all the way to the root and moved back and forth briefly before repeating all over again, a sublime technique.
The best part was that apart from being a badass, kind and funny woman Mira was a mother, she casually mentioned it the night before in response to a comment from another guest when she served dinner, the thought of being fucking a stunning tomboy MILF was extremely stimulating, every man has dreamed or fantasized about it at one time or another.
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*
The sensual moans and grunts produced by the woman encouraged him to move from below, thrusting upward as best he could in his current position, a wet sound was heard each time he was sucked into her silky, slimy depths, Mira had her hands planted on his chest and used her shapely legs to propel herself upward, this way she had better control of her hips and the rhythm was set by her, her voluminous round rear "clapped" each time she bumped against his thighs, the soft brown flesh rippling with each slam of her hips.
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap*
The young trainer turned his head and met the reproachful gaze of his Torchic lying on her side on her makeshift pillow bed, she was a fairly light sleeper and with all the noise they were making it was obvious they had woken her up, he felt bad for her because the night before he didn't finish fucking Mira until the wee hours of the morning, he would be sure to make it up to her later.
“Aaahh fuck you feel amazing, you're so tight it's hard to believe you've given birth, ooogghh fuck,” he grunted, he had only fucked two counting Mira, but he was already addicted to the feeling of being inside a woman. “You have a beyond great pussy, oh fuck yeah aahh, it's amazing.”
The analogy "silky smooth" didn't do justice to how wonderful it was to be wrapped by a vagina's insides, if there was a global tier list of softness levels pussies would take the top rank, if you added to that the typical warmth, wetness and tightness the result was a pleasure so immense it should be considered illegal, in moments of self-pleasure he used to imagine how it would feel to fuck, the real deal was a hundred times better than anything he could have thought of at the time.
The beautiful woman was no less pleased with the young black-haired boy's performance, his stamina was definitely something he could boast about, they started over an hour ago and he was still harder than a Steelix, the quality of his ejaculations didn't drop one bit, each load released was as thick and voluminous as the last, the benefits of being so young she supposed, "this boy will make women very happy in the future, of that there is no doubt" thought Mira bouncing happily.
“And what the hell does that mean? did you expect a pussy all loose and ruined because I have a daughter? What a prejudiced young man you turned out to be, mothers can have pussies of the highest quality, you know?” With a fanged grin and going against all logic Mira squeezed her divine depths tighter, bouncing up and down nonchalantly, “I'll have to give you a lesson in what a mother's body can do~.”
“Aaagghh, sorry, sorry, slow down!” Rex held Mira by her seductive hips making the woman move more smoothly, she almost made him cum pathetically, Mira was a terrifying woman. “I didn't mean to offend you, Miss Mira, but if I did, I beg your forgiveness.”
"Why is he so polite and how can that be so damn cute?" was what Mira thought, touched by the gullibility of the boy beneath her, smiling she let out a soft squeal and embraced Rex covering him with the softness and warmth of her toned body, the up and down of her hips didn't stop.
“Fuck! how can you be so fucking charming, I was just playing with you, if you talk to me like that, you're going to flip my switch goddammit!” Mira had a soft spot for boys like Rex, very young and inexperienced, a taste that for better or worse her daughter inherited. “You remind me a bit of my kid, you know? She also can't tell when a person is serious or just joking hehehe.”
“And where is she now? I haven't seen her here at any time,”
“She's studying at a university in Kalos, it's a pity, if she was here, you would have had us both attending your cock,”
“If she is as cool as you are, it would’ve been too much for me, I just lost my virginity the day before yesterday, for the moment one woman is enough for me hehe,”
“I noticed that last night, your inexperience shows, but with practice you'll become a stallion, when that happens come see me again and I'll test you,”
“Sure thing, hell, your daughter's father is really lucky to have you,” Rex grabbed Mira's soft, round buttocks, squeezing and squeezing them as she kept moving. “By the way, I haven't seen him either, is he with your daughter? I know it's a little late to be worrying about something like this, but I hope this doesn't make him crazy.”
Just getting the words together to speak proved to be a tremendously difficult chore, Mira kept moving exquisitely on his pelvis, his sense of smell was overwhelmed by her intoxicating aroma, her silky, sweaty brunette skin rubbed against his pleasantly due to the movement, he could feel her hard nipples poking his chest and her sinuous satiny passage sucking his length, only moans and grunts came out of her mouth.
Mira's expression changed to one of annoyance at the mention of her beloved child's father and she clicked her tongue, tucking a few strands of her short blonde hair behind her ear she adopted the classic cowgirl pose, his cock buried deep inside her tight sex as her hips rocked back and forth, allowing his hard manhood to revel in the wonderfully soft and warm texture of her slippery walls all over.
“Hmp the fucking bastard ran away like a bitch when he found out about my pregnancy, I know we were irresponsible teenagers, but look at him abandoning me at my worst moment, I haven't seen that asshole around since,” Mira told her story amid soft gasps and groans, Rex's wasn't the biggest dick she ever had, but fuck it felt good to have it inside her. “Instead of crying like a pussy I worked hard to open this inn, I had to do it to take care of me and my daughter on my own, that fucking coward didn't deserve my time or my tears.”
“Oh crap, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you remember bad memories,” he apologized half-heartedly, Mira was using her hips splendidly.
“Are you kidding me? I own a stable business, I make more money than I really need, I raised an amazing daughter and I can screw cute boys and handsome men whenever I want,” Mira listed, speeding up the pace of her swaying a bit. “That asshole going to shit is the best thing that ever happened to me, if the bastard ever shows up in front of me again, I'll break his stupid nose.”
Smiling broadly and putting his hands behind his head the range of Mira's bucking became wider, Rex turned his eyes to where their sexes lay connected, her lovely labia stretched around the base of his thick cock, the silky blonde tuft of pubic hair neatly trimmed, their love juices combined, lubricating her entrance more and more, the sounds of their union becoming more audible, the trainer did his best to follow Mira's sensual movements with his own, in his own awkward and erratic way given his position.
*Scchlll Scchllkk scchllkk scchlll scchlk scchllkkll*
“He must really be an idiot, only one would leave a woman such a fantastic woman like you, I can't believe there are such stupid men,” he commented massaging her tits again. “However, I think those kinds of events in our lives help us to be strong, they make us a better version of ourselves.”
“Really? I don't see how, to me it's just shit that fucks up your life,”
“If you never give up you can turn the bad into something very good,” Drawing strength from who knows where Rex grabbed Mira's hips and turned their bodies, surprising the woman with slow and deep thrusts that made her purr. “Just look at all you have accomplished, anyone else would have completely collapsed in your situation, you chose to take the bull by the horns, you are a warrior and that is why you are amazing, any man would be lucky to have you.”
Mira's eyes opened wide and her cheeks flushed, a big beautiful smile split her mouth and with another squeal she hugged Rex tightly against her body, his face was caught in the sublime softness of her breasts, her strong arms embraced his shoulders and her shapely legs wrapped around his hips, her vagina squeezed tighter again increasing the pleasure of both, the trainer pounded her fantastic pussy impeccably with quick, forceful and precise movements.
“Ooh damn it, stop being so cute, aah ggrr fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, oh yeah fuck me, don't stop oh shit, I'm yours until you set foot outside this damn inn!” she exclaimed using her smooth heels to thrust the trainer's hips.
“Ch-changing the subject, do you know any shortcut to Oldale? I have to catch a certain Pokémon and it's hard to find, if I get there before sunset I can look for it calmly,” Looking up in order to speak Rex penetrated deep and swiveled his hips, Mira's insides responded positively with delicious spasms.
“Aaah fuck oooggghh... you can go through the forest north of here, other trainers have told me you get there in half the normal time if you go that way, ooohh shit that feels good, keep it up aah ahh aahh,”
“Thank you very much, as a gratitude for the info I'll make you cum one more time, so if you excuse me, I'll use the technique my dear friend taught me for that,” commented Rex remembering May's advice, ‘the mating press is excellent to drive a woman crazy and bring her to a good orgasm quickly’ she said.
“Wha-what do you mean by that? Woah!”
Placing his hands on her ankles he pushed Mira's legs forward and then down, the woman's flexibility allowed him to bend her body in such a way that her knees almost touched her shoulders, making sure the position was comfortable for both he moved in and out of her, using fast, deep and hard thrusts, moving like a piston, her pretty toes clenched and flexed torpidly due to the overwhelming pleasure that invaded her body.
“Oooohhgghgg fuuuuck shit aah ah aahggrr oh god yes!” cried the beautiful woman with tanned skin, her blonde hair sticking to her face from the sweat, her eyes rolled back from the intense sensations.
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*
The clash of his balls against her beautiful glistening skin was excellently paced with the blonde woman's cries of pleasure, his hands instinctively clutched at the bottom of her perfect upward pointing feet, he intertwined his fingers with her toes, delighting in their warmth and texture in his palms as he fucked her, the beautiful tanned soles of her feet possessed a bit of roughness here and there, he guessed from all the standing work she performed daily, but they were divinely soft in just the right spots and he was well aware that they were.
“Oooh fuck, how can you be this tight! It's crazy aarrgggggnnn!” he moaned, it was like having sex with a much more mature and experienced May, he would even say maternal at times.
Mira taught him and showed him things that May could not in their night together, she definitely got excellent teachers in this sex thing, both had been patient and gentle with him and his clumsiness.
“Kegel exercises and squats, honey, they do wonders for pussies,” the woman replied, clutching the sheets tightly.
“I'm going to cum, Miss Mira, I'm cumming, I'm cumming!” he warned with unfocused eyes, ramming the woman with the same impetus.
“Just call me Mira, please, just Mira,” begged the beautiful blonde.
“Mira, Mira, Mira,” he moaned with each thrust of his hips, squeezing the sexy feet in his hands.
“Yes, let it all out inside me, don't hold back anymore,” Mira sensually requested between moans embracing her young lover with her toned arms. “Fill my fucking womb with your thick hot baby mass, fill it to the brim, I know you can do it because you're a fucking stud.”
“Aaarrggg I'm cumming, Mira! Take it all!” Driven by the heat of the moment Rex captured Mira's soft, wet lips between his own without letting go of her feet, initiating a passionate Kalosian kiss, the woman moaned into the kiss and let herself be carried away by the burning feeling of being taken so wildly.
The lascivious and sensual statements of the beautiful inn owner pushed him to his limit, giving three last concise and deep thrusts he unloaded inside her, his balls throbbed shooting string after string straight to her womb, her warm velvet cavern squeezed his member squeezing every last drop out of him, their tongues swirled and tangled around each other like two Arbok mating.
“Uuuugggggnnn fuck, that's it, let it all out, empty your balls completely inside my aaggrr,” Mira moaned cumming just as hard, the spasms of her tight pussy massaging him exquisitely. “Damn, how the fuck can you store so much in those average sized balls, you're fucking amazing.”
Satisfied Mira gently and sweetly caressed his back, smiling placidly as the orgasm that hit them both gradually calmed down, Rex pressed against her soft body and sank a few more inches inside her, he didn't separate from the woman even when the sperm stopped flowing, sighing languidly the trainer relaxed without moving.
“Shit, that felt so good, I really love Hoenn aaahh,“ her silky tight slimy cavern kept squeezing him lovingly. “Thank you, Miss Mira.”
“That's my line, kid, fuck... screwing young guys is the fucking best,”
“Same here, beautiful single mothers rule, fuck,” panting heavily they stayed hugging each other in the same position, enjoying the time they had left.
“I'm serious, stop by again sometime, if you're lucky maybe my daughter will join us by then,” she whispered.
“I wouldn't miss it, even if Graudon split the region in two I'd still manage to visit you again,”
Making it to his destination wasn't as easy as Rex thought it would be, as he exited the shortcut he came across roads that branched off in several directions, he thought of the intriguing and new places he might see if he went down one of those detours, too much temptation for an adventurous heart like his, he did a bit of exploring until he remembered there was a town he needed to go to as soon as possible.
Having asked Lucy the favor of hitting him every time he got distracted on the way he was able to arrive in Oldale before sunset successfully, although quite bruised he felt accomplished, having a companion and friend as reliable as her was the best.
“Holy cow, so this is Oldale Town, it's much bigger than Littleroot,” commented Rex as he entered the town.
It was the first time Rex had ever set foot in that place, almost everyone in Littleroot had their jobs in Oldale, it offered better paying jobs as it was more developed and twice as big, you could see businesses and small companies of all kinds as soon as you walked in, it was a great place.
Rex didn't want to be too distracted by his surroundings, he headed to the town's Pokémon center right away, until very recently Lucy was a wild Pokémon, a routine medical checkup was imperative to continue his journey, plus the Pokémon centers offered lodging service so he would kill two birds with one stone, he spotted the unmistakable red roofed building and ran towards it, it would be his first time in a Pokémon center and he was very excited.
“Good morning, nurse Joy, how was your day?” he greeted with a smile opening the tempered glass doors, there were quite a few people inside the pokémon center, mostly trainers who were passing through like him. “Wow... it's more spacious than I imagined.”
Every corner of the Pokémon center's interiors was spotless and very clean, his nose caught a pleasant floral and sanitizer scent as soon as he entered, you could notice the effort that was put into keeping the building free of any kind of dirt, the colorful tables and armchairs for the trainers were perfectly aligned and spread out, that along with different posters on the walls and a 55-inch TV gave a bit of color to the mostly white interior.
A staircase led to a second floor, which was the trainer's dorm area.
As in all other Pokémon centers around the world, the one in Oldale had video calling devices, local and international trading machines and computers, the latest technology for public use that facilitated the day-to-day life of trainers.
In the bottom behind a counter as usual was the star of the place, a beautiful woman in her twenties with pink hair and bright blue eyes, she was wearing the typical Pokémon nurse uniform, behind her was installed the machine that revitalized the exhausted Pokémon, three Chansey went from one side to the other diligently performing their duties, nurse Joy upon seeing him welcomed him with a beautiful smile.
“Welcome, my day has been more than good, thank you for asking. Tell me, how can I help you?” replied the beautiful pink-haired nurse, her soft melodic voice was very soothing.
As Rex approached, he was able to confirm a certain rumor, the smile of a nurse Joy warmed the heart of the beholder, nurses Joy were the best.
“A full medical check-up for Lucy, please,” he asked politely, placing Lucy on the counter. “Say hello to nurse Joy, Lucy.”
The little Torchic looked at the nurse in front of her with a frown, their eyes met and that was her downfall, Lucy was lost in the purest and most loving gaze she had ever seen, a being of light at its best. Lucy couldn't understand why, but she knew immediately she could trust her life to that human, Lucy knew the nurse would never dare to even think of harming her.
“Hello little girl, it's a pleasure, I'm going to make sure you're very healthy,” the woman raised her right hand and gave her a caress on the head that made her purr. “You are a novice trainer, aren't you?”
“Yes, my name is Rex Lennox... wait, how did you know that?” Was it that easy to tell him apart from more experienced trainers?
“Female intuition, we ladies are good at guessing things,” she said with a melodious giggle as she gave Lucy a quick physical checkup, the Torchic turned to putty in Nurse Joy's heavenly soft and dexterous hands. “Also, as far as I can see you don't have any other Pokémon with you, which is impossible for a trainer who has at least one medal, why do you want me to give her a full checkup? Have you noticed anything strange?”
“I caught her in the forest, I want to make sure everything is okay with her,”
“You caught a wild Torchic? That's unusual, your local Pokémon professor didn't want to give you one?” Joy asked jokingly.
“Let's just say I like challenges hehehe,”
“Well then I'll take Lucy to check her, I'll also administer some dewormers, meanwhile you can wait at one of the reception tables, will you come with me for a while, Lucy?” Lucy jumped into the nurse's arms without thinking about it, she would accompany her to hell itself if she asked her to.
“Oh nurse Joy, I almost forgot to mention, Lucy can't perform attacks like flamethrower or ember, every time she tries it she gets black smoke coming out of her mouth,”
“I'll see what's causing it, don't worry, looking at her, it shouldn't be anything serious,” the nurse assured. “Lulú, could you assist me with this patient?”
One of the Chansey's nodded and left with the nurse down a short hallway that led to a white door, with nothing else to do Rex decided to gather information on the Pokémon he came looking for, there were many trainers in the place waiting just like him, some would give him the answers he needed.
Ralts were very hard to catch not because they were very strong but because of how difficult it was to find them, considered one of the most sneaky and elusive species in the world, you could spend weeks looking for one without success even if you were in the place with the highest appearance rate, but if you managed to catch it you would gain a powerful ally in the future.
In fact, according to the Pokédex around Oldale the chance of encountering a Ralts was 10 percent, all the trainers he spoke to confirmed this, it wasn't much, but it was better than the measly 3 percent appearance rate in the rest of the region, quite encouraging if you asked them.
At that moment the trainers began to gather in front of the TV in the lobby, curious Rex approached to find out what had caught their attention so much, when he saw the high definition screen he understood everything, a renowned sports program was analyzing the last rematch between the previous world champion and Sasha, she mentioned it the day he left the mansion.
The commentators were full of praise for her older sister's skill and the spectators were fascinated, it was impossible for Rex not to feel uneasy and admiration, the impressive beating Sasha gave Leon was impeccable and forceful, Sasha's performance was perfect throughout the battle, there were no unnecessary orders or movements, as if she had coldly calculated every aspect of that match beforehand.
And he must defeat this mighty, seemingly unstoppable monster.
Her Ursaring alone was enough to sweep away Leon's entire team in no time, he saw every Pokémon fall before the bear Pokémon's power, it was a humiliating defeat for the once most powerful trainer in the world, she mopped the floor with him, frustrated at feeling intimidated Rex clenched his jaw, after having shown so much confidence in challenging Sasha now fear was creeping up on him.
What if in the end all his effort was for nothing? what if Sasha's strength proved too overpowering? could he even reach her? did he have what it took to become a legend?
“Sasha’s really something else,”
“There's no doubt she's the unbeatable, that nickname fits her perfectly,”
“She's so damn strong, heck will there be a trainer capable of beating her?”
“Beating her? Forget it, no one can beat Sasha,”
“She's hot too, no wonder many agencies want her as their model, she's got a killer body,”
The adoring comments towards Sasha brought him out of his thoughts, blinking a couple of times he went to sit in an empty place, he thought embarking on an adventure would change him on a personal level, but he was still the same, scared and insecure. He shook his head and patted his cheeks, his adventure was just beginning, it had been proven that Pokémon journeys changed people, he would be no exception, when the time came to face his sister he would have what it took to keep his word.
“Come on Rex, have more confidence in yourself, you won't get anywhere by doubting your capacities,” he cheered himself up.
An hour or so passed when the nurse and the Chansey returned with Lucy, Joy called him by name and quickly approached the counter, but not before thanking the trainers who kindly answered his questions, the fire chick looked quite happy and strangely relaxed, the nurse didn't look worried either, he assumed everything had gone well.
“Your Torchic is in excellent health, she is free of parasites and I gave her the required vaccinations, she will be fine as long as you take good care of her,” she informed him, Rex let out a sigh of relief, Joy pet Lucy gently. “Regarding the other issue, after some tests I discovered the reason for her little problem, Lucy has a congenital malformation in her Crewell organ.”
“Oh no... then that means...,” Lucy would never have access to special category moves.
The Crewell organ, discovered by Pokémon scientist and biologist Jonathan Crewell more than 80 years ago, is a unique internal organ that Pokémon possessed, giving them the ability to gather energy and release it over long distances in various forms such as fire or electricity, without which they would be doomed to get by with physical movements alone.
“Yes, fortunately it isn't a mortal condition, she'll live for as many years as possible,”
Rex and Lucy crossed gazes for a few long seconds, the trainer's expression softened and he indicated to the Torchic to come up to his shoulder, receiving that news didn't change how he felt about Lucy, she accepted him despite all his flaws, he would do the same, she already proved she didn't need to throw fireballs to put up a good fight.
“Thank you very much for everything, Nurse Joy, now I can be more at ease,”
“It was my pleasure," replied the nurse with a slight bow,”
“It's time to go, Lucy, we have to find our next comrade,” Lucy nodded determined, with her energy renewed she was more than ready to go on. “By the way, do you have rooms available? I may need to stay a few days in Oldale, we could use to book a room.”
“Of course, we have a lot of empty rooms left, I’ll need your ID to register you in the lodging system,”
“Here you go... How much is it going to cost me? I hope not much, I'm short of funds hehe,” he admitted with embarrassment, handing his ID to the nurse.
-Don't worry, the services offered by the Pokémon centers are free, the government sponsors us -revealed Joy inserting the ID into the slot of a futuristic looking computer, installed next to the medical machine, and typing some things on the touch keyboard.
“I didn't know that, it's amazing they have the money to cover each Pokémon center's expenses in the region,” There were more than 100 Pokémon centers in Hoenn, it was hard to believe what the nurse said.
“You'd be surprised how much money they make from selling products for trainers and Pokémon,” she said, handing him a green metal card, the number seven was printed on it. “Here you go, room number 7, have a happy stay.”
“Special services? Oh my, you're a cheeky boy, lovely~," Nurse Joy purred, narrowing her eyes sensually, understanding what services he was referring to. “Unfortunately, a nurse Joy can't leave her post at any time, and I mustn't stay awake at night, otherwise I'd be too tired to do my job, sorry.”
“Please don't apologize, Nurse Joy, I'm the one who should do it!” he exclaimed hastily. “It was very impertinent and stupid of me to ask you that.”
Nurse Joy's charming laugh silenced him, he didn't blame her, he himself would laugh at his own stupidity.
“Sunday is my day off, another nurse Joy will be in charge of the Pokémon center that day, if you're still here on Saturday then I wouldn't mind keeping you company in the evening, and who knows? We could have a lot of fun on Sunday too,” she commented, licking her pink lips suggestively.
Such a statement made the boy smile whose cheeks turned red, Joy nurses were the best, he said goodbye to her and headed towards his next stop, the Poké Mart wasn't very far from the Pokémon center, it was practically next door two blocks away, he had to buy some things there that would be of great help in his trip.
He bought several curative items, a couple of repellents, some food, water and a cheap tent, he thought he had everything he needed until he saw something that caught his interest on a shelf with books and magazines, a survival guide and a cookbook, he took both, they were thick and hardcover. He gave them a quick flip through their pages, the content of both books was quite extensive, detailed and very well organized, the information and instructions were very well explained and were accompanied by images that served as a guideline.
He decided to take them with him, in his old life the cooks were in charge of preparing the food and he lived away from the dangers outside, cooking or setting up camp were complete strangers to Rex, he had to be self-sufficient and learn that sort of thing if he wanted to go far.
“This is going to be very valuable to us, Lucy, acquiring this kind of knowledge will make our journey more bearable,” he commented, placing the books in his shopping basket. “I'll impress May with these skills the next time we meet.”
Having everything they needed Rex and Lucy were ready to start their search, they left the village heading west, according to the information he got there was an area with berry trees as far as the eye could see, a common feeding place for many species of Pokémon, the trainers told him that Ralts used to appear there frequently.
They had to walk for a while along a bumpy road, he almost sprained his ankle when he stepped wrong, his nose was delighted by the different and exquisite fragrances of fresh wild berries, ripe and ready to harvest fruits, they saw their destination just a few meters away.
“There it is, Lucy, that's the place!” he pointed smiling and excited, it reminded him of the beautiful garden of the mansion, he even spotted what seemed to be a pond of crystal-clear water.
“Torchic!”
Rex settled down in a nice grassy area, not knowing how to start his search he consulted his pokédex, which was slowly becoming more of a companion.
“Hey Dex, what do I have to do to find a Ralts?” he asked, sitting down on the grass.
“Ralts are a skittish and nervous species, they will run away at the slightest negative feeling, a positive mental and emotional state is imperative to make contact with them,”
“Oooh I get it, wait... won't it run away when I try to catch it?”
“Making him want to come with you voluntarily is the most advisable method for his capture, attacking him and taking him by force will alert the surrounding Gallade and Gardevoir who will come to protect him, a friendly approach is safer and most effective,”
“Befriending it... just like with you, Lucy! Well... taking out the part of beating the shit out of us of course hahaha,” he declared excitedly, he showed the screen of his Pokédex to little Torchic. “Look, this is how our next friend looks like!”
“Torchic!”
“We don't have time to waste, thanks for the help, Dex, you're the best!”
“… It was my pleasure Rex,” replied the artificial intelligence of the device.

Have you ever heard the phrase bad to the bone?
It's used to refer to people whose actions and behavior are so despicable, vile and dastardly that they make you think they were born evil, evil in its purest state, monsters with human appearance, in the Pokémon world there are more of them than people think, they are usually the masterminds behind very dangerous criminal organizations, but sometimes they decide to be part of society in order to satisfy their twisted desires.
Tom Volka, a beginner trainer who at thirteen years old was the architect of detestable acts and whose acquaintances avoided him like a leper, found delight in the suffering of others, either physically and / or mentally hurting had no qualms about making someone's life a living hell just to have fun, “bad to the bone” was an understatement, in the movies most villains were bad for some tragic past or some cliché like that, Tom was evil because he liked to be, as simple as that.
As if it were a karmic punishment, his appearance was disgusting to say the least; careless and messy brown hair, a scrawny and almost sickly build, freckled and greasy skin as pale as a dead man's, yellowish and misaligned teeth, disturbing green eyes and an unattractive face.
However, it's surprising how easy it was to fool people with a cheerful personality and a good attitude, and fortunately for him in Hoenn no one was judged by their appearance, in a society where sex was like a greeting everyone had a chance no matter what they looked like, so when he came across a trainer and his pretty girlfriend hanging out on the side of the road he saw an opportunity to have some fun for a while, he was bored from all that walking, and needed some pick-me-up in his day.
“Hi guys, sorry to interrupt you, could you help me? I think I got lost,” He was friendly and kept a safe distance, invading their personal space would only put them on alert and make them uncomfortable. “I'm Tom, by the way.”
“I'm Marcus and this is my girlfriend Maritza,” the trainer introduced himself and his girlfriend who waved silently with one hand, both seemed to be around 17 years old. “And of course, where are you going?”
“Oh great, thank you very much, I really thought I'd be wandering around for hours, glad you were around,” he commented with great relief. “I've got to get to Condiefall Town, but I lost my map escaping from a hoard of Mightyena, now I don't know if I'm going the right way.”
“I'm sorry to hear that, at least you didn't get hurt,” said Maritza, Tom almost licked his lips disgustedly, she was really pretty.
Smooth flawless white skin, beautiful long straight copper hair, bright brown eyes, slim build and a lovely figure, he ogled her discreetly, the clothes she was wearing were a great addition; tank top, denim shorts and long black tights, a great choice.
“I was very lucky, so am I on the right track?”
“Not even close, Condiefall Town is that way,” Marcus pointed in the opposite direction Tom was headed.
“Really? Damn, it took over an hour to walk, I should have bought two maps,” Tom sighed. “Thanks for the directions, see you later.”
“Wait, we're from Condiefall, we can take you there if you want,” Marcus stopped him before he left.
“You don't have to, I don't want to bother you any further,” he said nervously.
“Nonsense, we have nothing better to do anyway,” commented the girl.
The couple's proposal made Tom smile internally, it was so easy.
“You're very kind, I owe you one,”
Tom let himself be guided by the couple for quite a while as he told them one of his many made up stories, a funny one to make them laugh a bit and let their guard down even more, at some point they decided to stop at a picnic area near the entrance of a forest, “the perfect time and place” thought Tom, he learned crowded and cheerful places tended to relax people, they become more persuasive in general.
“Hey, do you think you can help me with something else? I caught some new Pokémon and I'd like to test them out,” he said, taking a bite of a sandwich he bought at one of the nearby street food stalls. “What do you say, Marcus? You seem to be very strong, a battle with you would be a great help to me.”
Having finished his meal, Marcus smiled confidently and puffed out his chest. “I should warn you that I'm quite competent, I participated in the Pokémon league elimination tournament last year.”
“Much better, that way you can give me some advice,” Tom commented excitedly.
“Very well, it'll be a pleasure to help a rookie improve,” Marcus left the picnic table and pointed to his girlfriend. “Maritza is no slouch, she's an excellent trainer, I'm sure she'll be a good challenge for you too.”
“That would be lovely, thank you very much,” Tom hummed, splendidly concealing his dark desires. “Would it be all right if we did it in the woods? I wouldn't want to spoil these people's lunch with our battle, plus the difficult terrain will be good practice too.”
To prove his point Tom pointed to the people occupying the neighboring tables and enjoying a good meal, Pokémon battles were rowdy, noisy and definitely destructive, no sane trainer would have a battle in a place with people around without any kind of protection in between, this was an incredibly reckless, irresponsible and dangerous action, his request wasn't strange at all.
Marcus and Maritza thought for a few seconds and concluded that Tom was right, many trainers lost their IDs by battling in high traffic public areas, they definitely didn't want to lose theirs.
“Okay, let's get into the woods and go to a good spot,” Marcus led the way. “I've been here before, there's a waterfall about 100 meters to the south, the terrain offers a demanding battlefield.”
“Just say which way and I'll follow you,”
Marcus seemed to know that forest like the back of his hand commenting there was a cave quite hidden, an excellent place to catch rock type Pokémon, with his guide it didn't take them long to reach a beautiful waterfall about fifteen meters high, wet rocks and gravel replaced the trees and grass, a large pond was fed by the waterfall whose crystal-clear waters followed its path downstream by a stream, a beautiful sight.
“Maritza and I like to come here to train or hang out,” commented Marcus, filling his lungs with the fresh clean air of the place. “It's one of my favorite spots in this area.”
“I can see why, to think something like this is in a forest as simple as this, it's like a miracle,” Tom admired the water plummeting down from the top of a slope, a modest rainbow was visible in the sunlight.
“I know it's a beautiful waterfall, but let's not forget why we came here, Tom,” Maritza announced with a clap, capturing the two boys' attention. “So... who will be your opponent first?”
“I'm fine with either, I'm sure you're both equally skilled, but what do you say we make this a little more fun and exciting?” he proposed animatedly.
“How?” asked the girl.
-A bet! -Tom exclaimed excitedly. Nothing is more fun and exciting than a good bet, especially in a Pokémon battle.
“A bet, huh?... yeah, sounds interesting, I'm in!” said Marcus with fire in his eyes, with the money he won he would buy his girlfriend something nice.
“If Marcus is in then so am I, name your price buddy,”
“Excellent, this will be very stimulating for everyone,” Tom licked his dry lips lightly. “But betting money is too simple and boring, everyone does that, I come up with a better idea.”
“What do you propose?”
“Oh, it'll be great fun, I assure you,”
Humans were such naive creatures.

Five hours, five long and exhausting hours, that was the time Rex and Lucy had been searching, he didn't see even a little bit of the green hair which characterized that psychic fairy, he came across many different Pokémon, but no damned Ralts were present, he wished he had at hand the gadget that May used to attract Lucy and her friends, unfortunately it wasn't allowed for a trainer to have a device like that, only professors, scientists or photographers could have one of those in their possession.
The trainer didn't get discouraged, not finding anything on the first try was within his considerations, he looked towards the horizon, the sun was already starting to set, it wouldn't be long before it would get dark.
“Let's call it a day, Lucy, I'm tired and hungry,” said Rex to his companion, ruffling the three feathers on his head with one finger. “And I'm sure you are too, you're putting a lot of effort into this, I'll give you some of May's food.”
The fire chick jumped for joy at the mention of that delicious delicacy of the gods, by the time they returned to town night had fallen, dazzling lights and neon signs illuminated the streets of Oldale, Rex bought a taco at a street stand and found a good place to eat in a small park, Lucy devoured her food voraciously. The sight was strange for Rex, people came and went through the busy streets, several businesses opened their doors and others didn't even close theirs, even at night the whole town was very active, nightlife didn't exist in Littleroot so the young trainer was fascinated by this new environment.
The nights were very silent and quiet in his hometown, you wouldn't see a soul in its streets when the clock struck nine o'clock at night, it was new for him to see at night so many people so active and hear so many different sounds, there were even small children playing with their Pokémon in the park.
“Woah look at this. Isn't it fabulous, Lucy? You'd never see anything like this in Litteroot,” he commented in awe of the light show, taking a big bite of his taco. “Oh shoot, how is something cooked in a park so tasty? It tastes better than the food in those fancy restaurants.”
He heard a cute burp and saw Lucy lying on her back with a big belly, both her plate and water bowl were empty, it amazed him that she ate so much despite her small size, he picked her up off the ground and placed her in his lap with a smile, she had put as much effort into her search as he had, she left no rock unturned or bush unchecked, Lucy was as determined to find her future mate as much as he was.
“You did a great job today, Lucy, thanks for all the support,”
“Torchic tor tor tor chic tor,” Lucy nodded, he didn't have to thank her for anything, they were both part of the same pride, unconditional support was part of the deal.
“After all the work we did, we deserve a reward, don't you think?”
“Torchic tor!” Lucy perked up, looking for that little green-haired shit was a pain in the ass, obviously they should be rewarded.
“Well say no more, Oldale looks like a fun place at night let's have a little night out!”
“Torchic!”
Getting up early the next morning to continue searching was the best decision, but Rex began his journey in part to enjoy all that he was denied, you only live once after all.
