- Ad posted at local Pokemon Center, Route 28.
Mount Silver was a wild place. Settled between the two regions of Kanto and Johto, it was the largest mountain and landmark for miles around. And a place where the most fearsome and strongest Pokemon could be found. Few trainers entered here willingly, as the battles along the road were enough to dissuade all but the most determined. In this anvil of conflict and intensity, only the best and strongest survived among the culling. And among those who did, few could forge out their own little fiefs and territories in which to inhabit and train consistently. Trust and strong bonds of fellowship and comradery were needed between one and their Pokemon, for otherwise they would soon fall by the wayside and have to slink home with their tail between their legs.
ForAydin Durov, he had been here for nearly half a decade. He had been a trainer for nearly double that length before. He had battled through the gyms of Johto and Kanto with both successes and failures. He caught many Pokemon, helped some evolve, while struggling to bond with others. He had seen rare and uncommon species in his time. But as he aged, he knew his time as an adventurer was coming to an end. He didnt have it in his bones anymore to continue on the road, to seek out new challenges, while trying to raise and maintain his steadily growing roster of Pokemon. He decided finally to settle down and raise, to learn all that he could, and more. Luckily, there were a few institutions out there that were happy to assist with would-be researchers like him, especially ones who could indeed cut out their own niches in places such as Mount Silver.
But it was not easy to do so. For a long time he had been unable to find a balance between his work and wanting to raise his Pokemon, his friends and companions through the many years. They were just happy for his attention, though he often struggled to dole it out fairly and to a satisfying end. That is why Aydin needed help, someone to help with the caretaking and raising, while he could finish his mandated work without interruption or further delays. His paymasters had a habit of becoming impatient.
Because of thisgrant, he had been able to build himself suitable accommodations in the lowlands around Mt. Silver. The wilderness stretched for many miles all about the base of the mountain, with a single road coming in from the west via Kanto, Route 28. There was a small town there, aptly named Silvertown, with the only Pokemon Center for miles around. From there, it was a trek through the wilds to get to Mt.Silver and its surrounding regions. Around to the north, about a days travel, was the Durov Ranch. It was a modest estate, with a two storey manor (with a hidden basement level containing his laboratory), and a fenced off land. The manor was classical in look, with arched windows, second floor balconies, and old fashioned furniture, yet it also possessed some elements of modernity, like a phone and computer, as well as a private electrical generator.Enough to power the underground lab where his secret research took place.
It was wedged in a small bowl in the foothills, with rocky cliffs and slopes encompassing the estate on three sides, with a lakes edge on the fourth. Tall grass and dark trees surrounded it all, containing many species of fierce and hostile Pokemon. Boundaries had been long set and Aydins Pokemon knew to respect them, though the wilder ones often crossed over and conflicted with his own. He had many strong specimens to beat them back, such as hisAmpharos or hisRhydon, or his lonesomeAlakazam or his most powerful, his starterTyphlosion. Aydin however was always shadowed by his trustyMagneton. Or finding hisNidorina eager for pets upon her head.
There were many others. His water Pokemon were led by his rareDragonair, joined by various others such as a Starmie, Wartortle, Dewgong, Seadra, Remoraid, Cloyster, Chinchou, Poliwhirl, and the haughty Golduck who had an innate need to show off for any of the female specimens. Others included a Raticate, a Spearow, Hoothoot, an Arbok, Golbat, Gloom, Swinub, Venonat, Graveler (which were found in abundance all around Mt. Silver), Sudowoodo, Sneasel, Ledyba, and Jolteon. Always perched on the tallest arch above his front door was his mothers oldXatu.
And somewhere out there was someone who could help Aydin manage all these Pokemon. It wasnt hard work. Attached to his manor was a barn, which contained all their foodstuffs carefully marked and scheduled. Feeding itself took two hours, for both the late morning meal and the evening meal. Someone needed to police the boundaries, to make sure his Pokemon werent be drawn off by the flocks of Tangelas, Gravelers, or Larvitar-Pupitar who loved to contest those same boundaries. Heavens forbid a tribe ofUrsarings decided to camp out nearby. There had been no peace that autumn and winter for Aydin. There were many others too who didnt like co-habitation with humans or their Pokemon companions. But Aydin persisted in his want for isolation and research. He needed help.
On that very day, there was good news. A message from Nurse Joy at the Route 28 Pokemon Center informed Aydin that someone did indeed seem interested in the position. If only they could make it up there, he thought with a bitter smile. But sitting upon his porch, with his Nidorina and Magneton nearby, he awaited this individuals arrival. If they made it, that was proof enough of their trainer skill. But sometimes with such skill came arrogance that Aydin could do without. He had to somehow reconcile this need with the demands of the workplace environment he found himself in...

Kaya Murasakino still hadn't decided if she wanted to head into the Johto region or not. She had spent all of her years, the last seven, strictly in Kanto. She was only missing the Earth badge to be able to make her journey up to the Indigo Plateau. Kaya wanted to face the league so badly but the leader of the Viridian City gym was never there! No one seemed to know who it was or where the hell they were constantly. It was infuriating. Kaya traveled all over Kanto, visiting several places many times but never caught the Viridian gym leader. As time passed and never getting the final badge she had started to wonder if it was even worth it. She wasn't too old but as she approached her mid twenties she needed something else. Either make her way to Johto or settle somewhere in Kanto and do...something. With no real path she finally chose to head to Johto to try her luck with that league. She had to pass through Silver City and, per habit, she stopped by the Pokemon center there.
Such a small town it was quiet. Nurse joy was cheery and pleasant as usual. Kaya turned over her Pokemon, though they didn't really need treatment, and settled down in the waiting room. There a poster caught her eye. A caretaker for pokemon at a ranch...near Mt. Silver? That was odd, she didn't even know there was a ranch up there. A dangerous place for a ranch. It was wild territory with strong Pokemon roaming the wilds. This Ayden must be kind of crazy putting a ranch up there. Still it was something and it was only a half day ride to Viridian City. She could keep dogging that gym until its stupid leader, whoever the hell they were, decided to show up. Maybe this wasn't a totally crazy idea. She would much prefer to finish out league matches in Kanto before leaving for Johto anyways. Besides the fact her Pokemon might love some time to run about totally free at a ranch. She didn't have many, not even in storage, choosing to be selective and focus her attentions on a few rather than try and raise a lot of them.
"Hey...Nurse Joy..." she said as she turned to the counter with the pamphlet in hand. "Do you know this place...?" Her choice was made, the dice were cast.
"Good luck! I will call Mr. Durov to let him know to expect you!" Nurse Joy truly embodied her name. Kaya waved a farewell and thanks to the pink haired woman as she left the center. It would be a long walk and possibly a dangerous walk. Kaya lifted up her demur, sandy colored turtleneck to reveal her belt with six pokeballs. Rapidash, Fearow, Butterfree, and Pikachu were released from their balls. "Ok guys we have a bit of a hike and it's kind of dangerous. So stay alert. Fearow and Butterfree fly above up and keep an eye out for any trouble." Kaya hopped up onto Rapidash's back after a kindly pet. Ever since she evolved Kaya rarely traveled long distance on foot. Hell she preferred to keep her Pokemon out of possible. Lapras wouldn't do so well on dry land and Gloom...well Gloom had been a little odd lately. He wouldn't stop release noxious gasses. All the nurses said he wasn't ill and Kaya couldn't figure out why Gloom was behaving so badly. She could have chosen to evolve him but the last thing she needed was a much larger Vileplume being naughty.
With Fearow and Butterfree circling above and Pikachu on her shoulder they were off at a stately trot down Route 28. It shouldn't be too long before they arrived. They could get there in no time if Rapidash ran at her full speed but there was no need to rush and on unfamiliar roads rushing could be dangerous. So near the mountains it was a little chill for Kaya's taste. She was more than glad to be wearing her warm turtleneck and black leggings. The heat from Rapidash, never too hot but warm as a soothing bath, was more than welcome. Everything was quiet for a long while. Kaya admired the forest around them, glad of a path though. Traipsing around in dark forests was not her favorite activity. Any where dark really. Ever since the Rock Tunnel. She shivered to remember that dark cave, wildly happen where Spearow Evolved and she could fly on his back over the tunnel rather than trying to pass through it ever again.
Fearow gave a sudden, harsh cry. Rapidash slid to a halt. Pikachu's ear perked up. Rustling at the forest edge. Kaya slid off of Rapidash and moved cautiously towards the sound, Pikachu's legs locked and ready to spring. A dark shape moved around in the bushes. "Ok...come out now or go away," Kaya said. Her Pokemon were strong enough she didn't feel the need to make them fight every wild Pokemon they stumbled across. Not unless the wild Pokemon wouldn't back down and away. The shape stopped a moment then a little, brown blurr leaped from the shadows. "Oh...?" Kaya tilted her head at the tiny bear. She had hear of Teddiursas before but hadn't seen on in person. "Wow, Johto Pokemon really do blend with Kanto here huh? Hey little one," she said as she crouched down. The Teddiursa turned it's big, shiny eyes on her in wonder and just a little fear. "It's ok...we're not going to hurt you. Are you out here alone?"
Another harsh cry from Fearow. More rustling but this time it was trees. Out of the shadows loomed three Ursarings. "Oh...crap..." Kaya mumbled to herself as the Teddiursa went currying to the group of Ursarings. Furious roars echoed through the trees as the three Ursarings charged in unison. Her pokemon were well trained. No need for regular rules in the wilds. "Go!" Kaya shouted as she stumbled back. Pikachu leaped to action first with a thundershock. Fearow dove at the Ursaring while Butterfree flew overhead releasing sleep powder. Slowly the Ursaring succumbed to the innoculating effects of the powder and laid down to sleep. Kaya released a slow breath. No one was injured, even the Ursaring were barely affected. "Good job everyone," she said with a proud grin, lavishing pets and affection on her Pokemon. "Ok...let's finish this trip."
There were only a handful more incidents but the group came out only a little tired from exertion. Some food and water would set them to rights. Finally past the trees they came upon a tall manse and sweet pastures for Pokemon. "Ohhh...wow..." Kaya breathed as she looked around. "This place is beautiful!" Rapidash whickered in agreement. Butterfree and Fearow flew closer as she approached the two story home. Kaya blinked at the man seated outfront. Somehow she expected some wizened old geezer. This was a very pleasant surprise. Kaya slipped down from Rapidash's back, Butterfree and Fearow landing on the horse's back, and walked up the porch towards who she assumed was Ayden.
"Hi. You must be Ayden Durov? I'm Kaya Murasakino, Nurse Joy called about me, about the caretaker job," she extended her hand with a bright grin. "If it's still available I'd love the opportunity for the position."

It was late in the day when Aydin first saw the visitor. He was well alerted to their approach not because of the noise but by theabsenceof it. The wilderness here was always watchful, always vigilant, curious and ready to spring when something or someone unknown approached.Threat or prey?His own Pokemon had started to become the same way, their usual noises and interactions falling to a cessation when an unfamiliar figure approached. Surely it was who Nurse Joy had informed him about, a potential candidate for his job offer. Needless to say Aydin was quite surprised when he sawher.
He hadnt expected someone so young to be out here, to have made the journey. Neither did he expect it to even be aher. Or someone so pretty and attractive.
She came riding in on her Rapidash, the strong bond evident by the fact that the horse-creatures flames was not burning the rider. He was even more impressed by her talents of scouting and awareness by having her Fearow out and about ahead of her. Whatever her age may be, or her looks, she was certainly no push over and knew something about the wilds. As she came nearer and dismounted, Aydin rose from the steps of the porch, flanked by his Magneton which floated just behind his shoulder. A few of his other companions watched from a distance.Who was this newcomer?they chatted to one another. A few only looked the powerful Rapidash up and down and saw a challenge.
But to the girl, Aydins smile was warm and welcoming. He had become a master of charisma despite being so sundered here in the wilderness of Mt. Silver.But charisma was apart of the core tenants of his dedicated organization and employer.One hand shoved in his pocket, his other hung by his side as he crossed towards the girl and took her hand in greeting. His blue eyes sparkled like sunlight off a lake. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Murasakino. Aydin answered with a charming smile and a slow, deep voice. He gave her a firm shake before releasing her hand, though he felt a desire to want to hold on longer. And the job is most certainly available, if you think youre up for it. Please, come on inside and we can talk further. Im sure your travel here has made you hungry. You may leave your Pokemon out here if you wish. Theres plenty of water and fodder for them as well.
With a wave of his hand, he led Kaya into the modest house. Whatever its exterior showed, the interior was very modern and comfortable. The front door opened into a foyer and lobby, with the television on but on mute. It was an open concept ground floor, which meant the living room was shared with the kitchen and dining area. A staircase separated the main floor, with rooms on the other side and a corridor leading to the barn, where all the supplies and maintenance for his Pokemon were stored and kept. Upstairs was several more bedrooms and a study. The hatch leading to the secret basement was carefully concealed away. A fragrant aroma wafted about the room. His adoring Nidorina leapt onto a couch and curled up there.
Coffee or tea? He asked, getting a kettle ready. I hope your trip here wasnot very eventful. I have no doubt it certainly had its fair share of obstacles but you seem a competent trainer. The job I have, Ms. Murasakino, is no easy task however. I have thirty odd Pokemon from my travels and my work load has increased to the point where I can no longer give them the care and attention they all need. What Im looking for, he said with a soft chuckle, is someone to help with the mummying side of Pokemon raising and care. Maintaining meal schedules, training, exercise, and oversight. Youll have to play warden to keep wild Pokemon off the grounds while at the same time keeping mine from wandering off, as they have a habit to do. He said with a bit of tired dismay but kept his smile fixated all the same.
Whatever her preferred drink was, he brought it over, along with a bowl of diced fruits and even some candy.On the bottom of the mugs were engraved T.Rbut that could stand for anything. And who even looked at the bottom of a mug?
Youll have lodgings here as well, just in a bedroom down the hall on the main floor. He himself had a grand ole suite upstairs all to himself. And the pay Im sure is quite adequate, not to mention the experience to train and interact with various types of Pokemon, to prepare yourself for others you might catch here, which I fully endorse you doing if you have the opportunity. Aydin smiled, sipping his drink and watching her carefully. Now, I hope I havent frightened you off with that speech on your expected duties and responsibilities. If its not your cup of tea, no hard feelings. Take a hearty meal here, rest up for the night, and you can return on home. But if you are interestedwhy dont you tell me a bit about yourself? What badges have you and what Pokemon do you consider your favorite and most loved? Aydin asked in return, wanting to know more about this indigo haired woman.

His smile was disarming and his polite greeting was charming. Not to mention the pleasant rumble of his voice, something Kaya didn't entirely expect. With his cool, bookish looks she expected more of a tenor. Never judge a Pokemon by its Pokeball. His grip was warm and firm. Kaya grinned brightly as he told her the position was still available. So she had made it in time! Then again, as far as she knew, few had even passed by that Pokemon center. Perhaps few had seen the ad. He was quick to offer for her to go inside and she stepped to follow but stopped and turned back to her pokemon. "Ok, you guys behave and make some new friends ok?" Butterfree chittered his odd little high sounds, Fearow gave an approving squawk, and Rapidash whickered with a little toss of her head. Kaya laughed quietly and stroked Rapidash's muzzle. "I mean it young lady." With some pets for Butterfree and Fearow she headed inside, Pikachu still on her shoulder.
Inside was somehow both resplendent, cozy, and modern all at once. Kaya turned a slow circle, trying to absorb the entire space. "Huh?" She was startled out of her light reverie of the lovely home and turned around back to Ayden. "Oh! Tea, please," she answered with her hands clasped at the small of her back. She listened as he spoke, smiling over at the Nidorina who hopped up onto the couch just to curl up. Reaching up she lightly scratched Pikachu's red cheeks, feeling the tiniest thrum of electricity from the conductive patches. "Chaaaa," Pikachu happily groaned. The job didn't sounds far too difficult, a lot of work of course but manageable. Meals and a room, especially a guaranteed shower, she was certainly all in for the job. "I imagine it's hard to do all by yourself up here and with so many to watch over." She said with a returned smile to his tired smile.
"Thank you," she said as she gratefully too the hot cup of tea. It had been ages since she'd had a good cup of tea. The perfect thing to warm up after a slightly chilly ride. Her eyebrows raised in mild surprise at the mention of pay. Of room and board was included she wasn't entirely expecting pay as well. Whoever this Ayden was he must come from a wealthy family or something. Maybe even a wealthy benefactor? She couldn't help an amused grin as he quickly offered for her to back out of the job already. Hard work didn't frighten her off. His questions came as a mild surprise, more so about her 'most beloved' Pokemon. "Well uh...here..." she said as she reached into her belt. Just a tiny, thin case holding seven badges. Mild annoyance and embarrassment flitted across her face. "I haven't been able to track down Viridian's Gym leader, that's why I haven't even left Kanto yet. He's just...never there! The jerk." Kaya heaved a small sigh as she tucked away the small badge case.
"Though I...don't think I have a favorite or most loved," she said with a softer smile as she stroked Pikachu's ears. "I guess...well I haven't 'collected' many Pokemon over the years. Everyone I have I just sort of...clicked with, I guess." She hesitated and stopped petting Pikachu, her hand drifting to her belt. Lapras and Gloom still rested in their balls. Lapras just needed to be released in the water but Gloom...But she couldn't bring up her one bad habit Pokemon just after getting offered the job. She only had six Pokemon and one of them was quite troublesome. Quickly she wiped the saddened, worried look off her face with a smile. "They trust me and I trust them, so I guess that's what is important right?" Despite the hesitation she seemed quite assure of that.
"Honestly, even if I went to Johto I'm not even sure I'd catch any more. I have the perfect team after all," she said with a small laugh. All the while, once the pets had stopped, Pikachu was eyeing the candy bowl. He was a glutton for sweets. Slowly he inched to Kaya's other shoulder, ready to leap for the candy and scurry off with a piece. Taking his chance he used Kaya's arm as a springboard and dove at the dish of candy. "Pikachu!" She shouted in her surprise, tea splashing down her front. "Ah...shit...damn it," she pulled her sweater forward, the tea hot against her skin. Pikachu landed right on the dish, flipping it and sending candy everywhere. "Ah! I'm so sorry!" She shouted as she snatched up Pikachu by his scruff, he managed to get four candies in his mouth before she caught him.
"See now I was just giving you praise...glutton. Spit them out," she demanded, her hand infront of his face. Pikachu gave a high whine but opened his mouth, fourth wet and sticky candies tumbling into her hand. With a low sigh she set him down. "Now I think you owe Mr. Durov an apology and should clean up you mess." The sweeter smile utterly gone she was suddenly more like a scolding mother. Pikachu's eyes glistened some and he gave a low "chuuuuuuuu" before turning to Ayden. "Pikachu," he simply said with a little bow before starting to pick up the candies. "I'm sorry Mr. Durov...he's always had a weakness for sweets." Finding the trash she tossed the candies out and sighed, looking down at her sweater. Hopefully laundry was included in the board. Grabbing the hem she pulled the turtleneck off. Beneath she wore a simple, thin, white camisole. Her Pokeball belt easily visible on her hips were the camisole and black legging just barely met

Any flow of electricity was immediately appreciated by Magneton, who silently began to hover closer and closer to the static Pikachu. The magnets around its body began to even crackle lightly, as if the magnet Pokemon was in some state of euphoria from the strong currents.
Aydin nodded to Kayas overview of the fact. He was simply too busy and there was simply too much Pokemon that he caught. He couldnt release any, as he loved and appreciated all of them too much. They were his family. However, he was stuck between responsibilities and could use a helping hand in taking care of each. He knew the Pokemon would always stick by them but they deserved the royal treatment they each merited. And so far Kaya seemed like a loving and caring young woman, as evident by her own relations with her Pokemon. They seemed to love her and were strong and healthy. She had the right inherent abilities for the job. It just remained to be seen if she could handle the shock sensation of essentially being in a Pokemon warzone out here in the wilds of Mt. Silver.
Maybe it would ruin her.
But the sun was still bright and shining outside to think such thoughts of despair. She was willing to take the job and that was more than Aydin could hope for. There would no doubt be a short transitional period as he guided her through the major guidelines of overseeing all his Pokemon but soon enough hed be right back fully immersed in his research. No more distractions. No more having to investigate sounds of fighting and even explosions on the periphery of his little estate. Heck, he might even get a hour or two to relax all to himself, in a hot bath or with a good book or television show. He had to put some faith in Kaya.As long as she didnt ask any questions or start her own investigations as to why he was out here doing what he did.By all means he needed to come off as a retired, successful Pokemon trainer who wished to raise and breed rather than fight and battle anymore.
He smiled when she showed him her badges. Seven, all from Kanto, almost equal in number to his thirteen, eight from Johto and five from Kanto. He sipped his tea as he thought of his own brief adventures in Kanto, where he spent two years trudging through the wilds there or visiting its great cities. He hadnt battled the Viridian Gym Leader either. It always seemed to be under new management. The current Gym Leader when he had been about that area had been someone known enigmatically only as Blue. Though his expression was concealed by his raised glass, he did have a curious look when Kaya flashed a momentary look of sadness before continuing her tale. She had lots to speak of certainly, giving Aydin quite a picture of who she was.
If Pikachu eating out of his candy bowl had been a problem, he would have stopped it. Instead he said nothing, watching with bemused eyes as she struggled and lectured her electric Pokemon back into line. Its no problem at all! They are for communal use. He simply laughed it off, while she forced the candy out of Pikachus mouth. It obeyed, after a short protest. So she wasnt afraid to have some backbone! That was good. I accept. He said to Pikachu during his apology and chuckled when Kaya apologized again. I too have a weakness forsweet things. He said with a look over her, especially when she removed her sweater. Was she basically declaring this her new home even before he offered her the job? It was only a formality though at this moment. She was definitely getting it.
You can wash that tonight as you get settled in. He explained, which all but confirmed her hiring to the position. It was hard not to look at the little space between her leggings and her undershirt. There is a washer, dryer on the main floor, just over there. Youll pass it on the way to your room, last on the left. He pointed, taking her empty cup of tea to wash, rinsing them out. Theres a bed, closet, and an older computer-phone you can use, in case you want to contact your folks. Well unfortunately have to share the only bathroom in the building, which on the second floor. First door though as you go up though, so you cant get lost. Where are you from by the way? Myself, am a Goldenrod City boy. He said with a smile.And a city that once suffered a hostile takeover of its Radio Tower by Team Rocket.So daring and rash.
Shall I give you a tour of the premises? Well begin you tomorrow, bright and early, at 7:30am. Today well just have a meander about. Ill show you the grounds and give you some idea what youll have to do and where youll be working mostly. Aydin offered, gesturing down the main floor hallway to the door at the end, nearest to the bedroom he had assigned her. Leading her down, he showed her the barn first. It was the size of a two-vehicle garage, with two great tables in the midst and surrounded by many shelves stocked with crates and jars. All full of Pokemon food. Some were labeled with the faces of Pokemon, whereas others wereAll-Sorts, to be given as snacks or lesser meals to any of them.
Some of my friends have diets specific to their types, whereas others can eat generally anything. Only nine require personal feeding, the others can be fed in groups. Their schedule is a light snack at daybreak, followed by lunch, then dinner at sunset. My Alakazam for instance only eats pudding. And you need not bring him any spoons. Well, if you can even find him during his mediations. Not all eat three times a day however. This should take up most of your time, as youll have to bring them in singles, or twos and threes, to eat here. Outside, itll just attract the wild Pokemon. He said, flicking a button which opened a large door to the grounds outside, with the forest line not far off. Which brings us to another point. Youll spend the other half of your time policing.
He walked outside, hands in his pockets, looking at the grounds. From the front of the house, they looked to the low foothills, all covered with dark pines. There seemed to be some light rumbling and dust clouds. His Rhydon was moving boulders, digging tunnels, doing his own thing. He often conflicted with Gravelers and Onyxs though in his holes. To the northeast however was a blackened pit that just screamedkeep away. Most of the time, the wild Pokemon will wander onto the grounds. Its not their fault really but they just cant help but battle sometimes with mine. And not all of mine are strong enough to repel them on their own. But the ones who are strong enoughwell, therell be your main problem. Theyliketo battle. Aydin said with a small smirk. Well, that sort of came from him and his early days. Did you encounter any of the local inhabitants on your way up here?

Not only was she glad to hear there was laundry but the way he spoke gave her strong hope and assumption the position was still her. Kaya grinned, draping the tea stained turtleneck over her arm; hopefully she would be able to get the stain out. The bathroom situation seemed odd. She would have to consider getting a long robe or something, especially if she had to transit the house to bathe. All the while Pikachu was cleaning up the candies he had toppled all over the place, righting the bowl and putting them all back. While clearly pouting he was diligent in his cleaning efforts.
"Oh, I'm from Cinnabar Island," she said after a moment, looking up at where the bathroom was. Kaya nodded at his offer of a tour, utterly undaunted by the 7:30 start time for feeding. Before following she paused and looked at Pikachu who was just finishing up cleaning. "Good job, thank you," she said gently to the little electric mouse. Bending over she scooped him up and grabbed a piece of candy from the bowl. "No more shenanigans, ok?" She said as she offered him the piece of candy. "Chhaaaaa!" Pikachu shouted in delight with a nod and took the candy, happily stuffing it in his mouth. "Pi-pi-pi-pi," he mouthed through the candy as Kaya turned to catch up with Aydin.
The large barn was impressive, neatly lined with food for all of his Pokemon. She noted they were well labeled so at least there wouldn't be any confusion. Purple eyebrows rose in surprise at the volume of different diets. He really took their feeding seriously. Suddenly she understood why he needed help. Feeding them would have to take at least two or three hours. "Pudding?" She asked with am amused laugh. That didn't sound like a very healthy diet. Maybe it was special in a way. With nutrients or something. Her head tilted when he mentioned policing. Patrolling the grounds she assumed. There didn't seem to be much of a barrier between his land and the forest where strong, wild Pokemon lived. Kaya continued to follow beside Aiden, the stop of her head right at his shoulder level. She shivered a little and rubbed her bare arms when the wide door was opened and the chilled mountain air blew in.
"Oh I see, alright," she said with a slow nod as he explained. So no barriers at all. She was amazed that he lived up there all by himself. It really sounded like her days would be full, keeping watch and feeding all of the Pokemon. "We ran into some Ursarings, three of them. If I can help it I try not to fight too many wild Pokemon any more," she said as she gave Pikachu's chin a scratch. "Butterfree just put them to sleep. They should be awake by now," she said with a small tilt of her head. With the small tilt her eyes landed on the blackened pit. "What is that over there?" She asked, gesturing toward the pit. "Kind of looks like a fire type got a little crazy," she said with a small laugh. "Growing up on Cinnabar I've seen a lot of that." With another chilly gust of wind she shivered and rubbed her arm. "Also not used to this mountain air," she added with another laugh.
Though she was quickly distracted by a distant glimmer, one she recognized well. "Oh! Is that a lake?" She asked stepping forward with a broad grin, pointing to the faint shimmering. "Oh Lapras would love that," she said with an affectionate touch of one of the pokeballs on her belt. "He doesn't get to spend a lot of time out of his ball." Neither did Gloom but not for a lack of mobility on land.

Yogurt would be a more suitable term but my Alakazam is spoiled rotten for it, ever since he was a little Abra. But try telling a top tier Psychic pokemon that pudding is bad for them. And theyll sense it in your mind too. So you got to lie, lie to yourself too even. Aydin explained, giving a shrug. He probably shouldnt have told Kaya that either. One can control what slips out of their mouths a lot easier than what ran through their minds.
He listened to her tale about the mob of Ursarings and nodded to her. He knew how dangerous they could be. Adorable, yet far from harmless. But they were the least of Aydins worries. Her tactic of putting them into an induced sleep and simply avoiding the combat was a smart one. He followed her finger and gaze towards the blackened barrow at the base of the ridge, all lined with barren trees in a modest circle before the thick greenery sprang up again. It was like a blot on the land and it wasnt caused by no wild Pokemon, but his own. Her attentions though were quickly diverted to the nearby lake, one of many unnamed bodies of water located around the mountain.
Would it be too familiar if he put his arm around her, to help shield her from the mountain chill? He stuck his hands into his pockets just to be safe.She was gorgeous.
Well be sure to let your Lapras out then when you get the chance. Youll have the chance to introduce them to my own water types. They are generally friendly and will band together if theres any water borne threats. Aydin explained, before turning towards Kaya as if to share a very great conspiracy with her. There is a powerful Pokemon about. A Poliwrath. King Poliwrath, I call him. He leads an army of Poliwhirls and Poliwags. Extremely dangerous. He informed her with a smile. So many dangers. Wild packs of Tangelas and Ursarings. Onyxs in the ground. Gravelers and Geodudes all about the mountain side, disguised as boulders. The constant fighting between them and any trainer kept them strong and wild.
And youre right, that is my fire type back there. The grumpiest of them all. My Typhlosion. Aydin explained to her. You dont have to feed him. Hell make it known when hes hungry. He sleeps most of the time though, unless theres a real fight to be had. And nothing weve discussed so far would be considered a real fight to him. He remarked with a shake of his head and pursued lips. Typhlosion was his starter, ever since he was a small lad. Just him and his Cyndaquil through many and long journeys.
Forget him though. Come. Ill introduce you. Aydin then said, gesturing for her to follow towards the lakeside. A few Pokemon saw his coming and excitedly began to meander over to him. More than two dozen emerged when Aydin clapped his hands loudly and beckoned them. Soon a small circle formed. From the water, a Dragonair popped her head out, followed by the top half of a Starmie and Seadra. Remoriad, Closyter, Chinchou, and a Poliwhirl that Aydin had caught here also emerged. Dewgong slipped out onto a rock, followed by Wartortle. From the ground and the tall grass came a Raticate and a Venonat popped out with wide eyes and a Graveler and Sudowoodo followed after. He had his own Gloom too. A Sneasel, Ledyba and Jolteon came from around the house. A Hoothoot, Spearow, and a Golbat watched from a tree. An Arbok emerged from the grass, large and enigmatic.
The ground shook. Rhydon came stomping over. Ampharos followed, eyes shut as she waved her stubby arms in greeting. Magneton and Nidorina she knew, with Nidorina hiding between Aydins feet. Alakazam hovered in the shade of nearby trees, bored but answering the call of its master. But Typhlosion did not come. His mothers Xatu remained where it had always been, perched atop the house, watchful.
In front her slid a Golduck, arrogant and prideful. Standing in front of Kaya, he snapped up his arm and showed off a bulging bicep with a great exclamation. Golduck! He cried, offering Kaya to touch it.
Get out of here. Aydin said to the water duck type with a laugh. Guys, girls, this is Kaya Murasakino. And shell be taking care of you. So show her the respect you would show me, or Ill know the reason why. Got it? They answered him with a chorus of their names and grunts. Some, like Rhydon and Alakazam, looked unimpressed. Wartortle thought he was too cool to even grace Kaya with a look.
Anything you want to say to them? He offered Kaya. Behind him, his slow ice-type Swinub was still trying to crawl his way over.

Kaya logged that bit of information. Yogurt, but call it pudding. Just assume it is pudding. Strange but if that was the way things were then she would have to just go with it. If she were honest she would feed him what he needed, not what he wanted. Pikachu would eat nothing but candy if he could but that wasnt nutritious enough. Still they werent her Pokmon and she would have to respect Aydins wishes. His confirmation that it was, indeed, a mountain lake made her deep purple eyes sparkle in delight. Lapras would be so happy to spend more than a couple of hours outside of his ball. She looked up at he turned to share an apparent secret. Her eyes widened a little at the not-so-secret secret. An army of Poliwhirls and Poliwags? Led by this King Poliwrath. It was surprising to be certain. The area certainly did seem to be fully of dangers from wild Pokemon. At least it was far enough out of the way that he likely didnt have problems with trainers wandering by. Most of all those dirty bastards: Team Rocket.
She turned and looked back to the dark patch she had asked about, before getting utterly distracted by the shimmering lake. A Typhlosion did all of that? A big, grumpy Typhlosion. Being from Cinnabar Kaya did like fire types, despite only having one herself, but a massive and cranky one sounded like a terror. She noted Aydins pursed lips with the explanation. Had something happened between him and his Pokemon? If she remembered right Typhlosion was the final form of the tiny, cute Cyndaquil, a typical starter from Johto. Kaya couldnt help a small, sad smile. He had a fire type starter too and there were troubles with it. Funny how life was.
Alright, she responded with a bright grin, following Aydin in his wake down to the lake shore. Kaya couldnt help but look around in delight. The scenery was beautiful even if it was a little too chilly for her tastes. Already Pokemon began emerging with their approach. The excited chirps and squawks, growls and odd utterances of names surrounded them as his Pokemon began appearing from everywhere. So many! She had never seen so many different Pokemon in one spot before! Even in the Safari Zone Pokemon tended to travels in packs and herds. Oh wowthis is amazing, she whispered quietly as they all emerged. Kaya was glad to see a couple of water dwellers, Lapras would have some friends!
What is that? She looked around as the ground beneath them rumbled. Not hard to miss as the massive, and very heavy, Rhydon tromped over with an Ampharos right behind, adorably waving its arms in delight. Kaya noted the enigmatic Alakazam at the tree line. Had to remember: pudding. A sudden blur of blue caught her eye and she looked over to see a tall Golduck right in front of her, snapping into a pose more suited for a Machop of Machoke. Kaya laughed along with Aydin and leaned over at the hips. She reached out, obliging the silly Golduck, with a light squeeze to his less than impressive flex. So strong, she said with an affectionate pat to his head.
With Aydins introduction Kaya bowed, Pokemon deserved as much respect as humans did after all. This commanded seemed to be greeted well enough. Though she noted a few that hardly seemed to care. Wartortle and Rhydon for certain might end up being trouble. The others seemed happy enough to have someone else to help take care of them. UhmI am very pleased to meet all of you, she said with another polite bow. I hope we can all be good friends. I have some of my own Pokemon here too. Kaya turned and stuck her fingers in her mouth. A sharp, shrill whistle echoed through the grounds. A flashing spark ignited by the house as Rapidash galloped over with Butterfree and Fearow flying above. Pikachu still sat on her shoulder, looking at all of the other Pokemon with a healthy dose of apprehension.
Kaya patted Rapidash on the muzzle as Fearow and Butterfree landed on her back. Clearly Rapidash was fine with Fearow and Butterfree being on her. Hopefully all of you will become friends too, she said with a small laugh. Oh, Lapras! Kaya reached to her belt and grabbed a ball. With a decently far toss the ball hit the water with a splashing plunk. In a red flash Lapras appeared. Normally Lapras were decently large Pokemon, this one was particularly massive. Not only being male but he was just much larger than most of his specie. He gave a delighted, high pitched sort of cry before leaning his massive head down to greet all of the new Pokemon.
Standing back with Aydin Kaya was happy to watch his Pokemon and hers greet each other. Even Pikachu, eventually, crawled down to say hello to the others. Of all her Pokemon Rapidash was the most standoffish, shaking her fiery mane and moving away from others who were too interested in saying hello. With no intended puns Butterfree was the most social of all, even trying to immediately be friends with the like of Rhydon and Wartortle. Pikachu was delighted to meet his fellow electric types. The sun was setting and it was getting colder and colder. Eventually Kaya had to admit defeat and get out of the evening chill. The meeting had gone well enough she felt comfortable letting her Pokemon stay out of their balls. With some affectionate pets it was time to head in.
Kaya was more than ready to settle in for some sleep. Before that she had to clean up her sweater and pray it would dry overnight. Sleep in a comfy bed with a roof and everything! Goodnight Mr. Durov and thank you again. At some point she needed to consider going to town for some better pajamas than just her underwear. After a very quick shower, no bath for the time being, she headed back downstairs and off to bed. Ever at her side Pikachu curled up in the crook of her arm to sleep while the others remained placidly outside. All but poor Gloom.
So often sleeping outdoors Kaya was more than used to waking with the sun. She yawned widely and stretched. Pikachu grumbled sleepily, nestling back into the covers as Kaya dressed. The selfsame leggings but a different camisole. Her turtleneck was just slightly damp but it would provide a bit more protection against the chilly mountain air. Still yawning Kaya walked out to the living space. Normally, on the road, coffee was a treat. Aydin wouldnt mind if she made some right? Better to beg forgiveness and all that, so Kaya went ahead and began brewing some coffee for the morning. It was very refreshing. The clean air with a good nights sleep. Kaya leaned against the window and watched as the sun turned the sky from golden pinks to rich oranges and blue. Beautiful.

Everyone seemed to be getting along and everything was starting out without complication or snag. His Pokemon liked Kaya and Kaya in turn seemed to like them. She brought her own Pokemon out, who were received and greeted by the majority of his, except for a few of the grumpier ones.Tough guy acts, very permeable. Her own Pokemon were beautiful though. Her Rapidash thundered over, faster than anything he had seen, albiet aloof as well. Another toughie, Aydin figured. Her Lapras let out a squealing cry of greetings to his fellow water-types. He had to push his glasses up to his eyes to make sure he was seeing it right too. The specimen of Lapras she had was huge! Very impressive indeed.
It was a tranquil scene. The sun was setting and in this mountainous, pseudo-warzone, it was nice to see Pokemon getting along and being affectionate. The thunder-types, Magneton, Ampharos, Jolteon, and her Pikachu all got along. The water-types were swimming circles around Lapras in some strange dance. Their Glooms were spreading some kind of powder all around them, creating this pollen filled dead zone that was probably paralyzing, sleep inducing, or poisonous, or all three. His Gloom however seemed rather disappointed by hers and they separated soon after. Her Butterfree was gregarious with all and was met with equal delight by others.
Night was fast coming. For some, like Sneasel, Hoothoot, and Golbat, nighttime was their element. The others moved to their bushes, trees, or light barrows to rest. A few were permitted into the house. And you, Ms. Murasakino. I know you had a long journey so I can cover this night, if there should be any alarm. I have sensors around so if any Pokemon wanders on or wanders off, we know about it. He told her. Have yourself a good night. Leaving Nidorina to sleep on the couch, he went upstairs with his Magneton behind him and into his bedroom. Quietly, he locked the doorand then sighed.
Finally, some peace and quiet. He really hoped Kaya would work out, for he was far behind schedule and needed a good week without interruption to catch up. Mr. G would be expecting a progress report very soon. For him, the night was still young. He went to his desk, opened up his specialty laptop, and began to formulate the beginnings of a report. It would be some time before he slept. Fortunately, there was no incident that night.
But tomorrow morning, he intended to help transition Kaya and his Pokemon into the new state of things. He wasnt going to hold her hand. He would watch and render assistance if she asked or seemed hopeless in what she was doing, but other than that he would let her find her way. So far it was off to a good start as he came downstairs, showered and freshly dressed, glasses in hand as he closed his eyes and took several deep inhales of the strong scent of coffee. Now that was a plus to having a helper on hand. Good morning. He beckoned sleepily. Youre ready for the breakfast hour? He took care of their breakfast first, a simple mix of bacon, scrambled eggs and toast with jam.
He was just about to wash the dishes when there came a flurry of Pokemon cries and shrieks from the lakeside. From one frying pan and into another. He said as he ceased soaping up the pan. He could only hope it wasnt King Poliwrath and his crew, deciding to repay Aydins rumor-mongering. He rushed outside and to the lake, where he found several of his water-types up against the shore line. Seadra, Remoraid, Chinchou, and Cloyster were in a semi-circle, their backs to the shore, while Starmie, Golduck, Wartortle, and Dewgong stood slightly above on ground. They looked uneasy, but clung in a pack out of solidarity. His Poliwhirl, a new addition, wasnt quite sure and was further inland. Dragonair was out by herself a little ways ahead, facing the water and whatever danger lurked underneath. Kayas Lapras was there too.
The surface of the lake bubbled and with a mighty roar, a monstrous Gyrados burst forth. Several Pokemon cringed, though Golduck flexed a pose. Dragonair gave her own shrill cry in challenge but she was many times outsized. None of his Pokemon seemed to have a mass capable of confronting the Gyrasdos.Well Lapras did.
Magneton bristled with electricity but Aydin shot up his hand in refusal. No! Youll shock the waters and hurt more than the Gyrados. He instructed Magneton with a frown. Rhydon was at a disadvantage. Ampharos was limited too. Typhlosion would not come forth. Alakazammaybe.
There was no time to arrange it. Gyrados let loose a mighty roar and energy gathered before its mouth, before unleashing a mighty Hyperbeam. Dragonair matched it with her own beam, Dragon Rage. The two blasts connected and an explosion rocked the water, causing waves to crash along the shore. Smoke covered the battlefield for a moment and all Aydin could see was his Dragonair, panting a little hard. She had no time to react when Gyrados burst forth out of the water again, much closer, and delivered a smacking tail whip that knocked Dragonair clean out of the water. Aydin ran to her side, his hands on her. She was hurt and needed a moment to recover. But the Pokemon had been his best water-type. The others had no chance. He needed his Alakazam, but looking over his shoulderthe Psychic type was not even around

Kaya looked over her shoulder as Aydin came down, appreciatively inhaling the smell of coffee in the air. "Good morning," she replied having already started on her coffee her response a tad more chipper. "Breakfast sounds fantastic." Boy did she know she made a wise choice to work for Aydin. A bed and roof, coffee in the morning and a guaranteed breakfast? Absolutely nothing like sleeping out in the wilds with no guarantee of safety, both from Pokemon and the weather, or of a morning meal. The sizzling scent of bacon and eggs filled the air, enough to make her mouth water and nearly drool like Gloom. It was a pleasant and quiet morning as they ate their breakfast. "This is delicious!" Kaya said in earnest between bites. Certainly five star gourmet compared to foraging for berries. Regardless, it was a fantastic meal. She shared a little of her portion with her spoiled Pikachu. Aydin had asked who her favorite was, maybe unknowingly it was Pikachu. Kaya got up to help with the dishes if nothing else than to dry them and put them away while Aydin washed.
Icy prickles crept up her skin at the sudden shrieks and cries. Kaya was quick on Aydin's heels as they ran out of the house. Pikachu followed right after the two humans. At the lake lay an odd scene. All the water Pokemon huddled together, those that could manage on land up on the banks, the others as far up the banks as they could go. Dragonair and Lapras were the only ones further out in the water. Lapras was silent and still, staring down the frothing bubbles. "What-" was all Kaya managed to say before the Gyrados burst forth from the boiling water. "Holy shit!" Despite knowing something was there the sudden appearance and sheer size of the Gyrados startled her. "Pi!" Pikachu echoed in his own startled surprise. The Gyrados was quick to attack and Dragonair, clearly the bravest of the lot, did her best. The explosion of their clashing attacks sent shockwaves through the air and deep into the belly. Yet poor Dragonair wasn't enough. They could only watch as she was smacked out of the water with a mighty tail whip. As Aydin ran to her Kaya looked up at the Gyrados as it roared its challenge.
Kaya stuck her fingers in her mouth and whistled for her Pokemon. Pikachu hopped onto her shoulder as Rapidash arrived wreathed in flames with Butterfree and Fearow hot on her trail. "Ok you guys let's do this!" It seemed crazy but she hopped on Rapidash's back and they ran for the shore line. "Lapras, use ice beam. Freeze Gyrados in the water and make us an ice bridged." Lapras' response was swift. Rearing his head back with a haunting, echoing cry the powerful ice gathered in. The beam shot forward, first at the base of Gyrados where his body disappeared beneath the water. From there Lapras swung his head making a bridge of ice from Gyrados to the shoreline. Rapidash leaped onto the ice bridge, her hooves hissing as they hit the ice. "Pikachu! Light screen! Stay here and keep it up to protect the other Pokemon!" Pikachu nodded and hopped off his ride. "Chu!" His red cheeks lit up and a brilliant flash shimmered before him and the other Pokemon. It wasn't a full defense but if any stray attacks came their way it would greatly reduce any damage.
A good thing too as Gyrados thrashed, pinned in place by thick and heavy sheets of ice. He roared in frustration and leashed another beam. A wild shot that flew off into the forest. "Keep up that ice Lapras!" Kaya called as Rapidash ran along the ice path toward the Gyrados. She reached to her belt and grabbed Gloom's poke ball. The only one who didn't get released yet. "OK Gloom, we need you." The ball landed right at the base of Gyrados and they tiny Gloom materialized. He froze a moment and stared up at the Gyrados who roared and thrashed to be free. Kaya nearly gagged, already able to smell Gloom's terror. "It's ok Gloom, it's ok! Use your stun spore! Butterfree use sleep powder! Fearow use whirlwind, keep those powders swirling around Gyrados!" Rapidash slid to a stop as the orders were issues and the others were quick to obey, even the terrified Gloom. A whirling tornado of stunspore and sleep powder swirled around the massive dragon Pokemon. It roared in defiances even as it was enveloped in paralyzing powders. "Enough!" Kaya called out. Every Pokemon stopped. The swirling winds halted and the remaining dusts settled into the water. Gyrados was no longer thrashing, his eyes heavy, long body shaking. He swayed on the spot. "Rapidash back to shore, take Gloom," Kaya hissed. Rapidash made a small face but gave a small chuffing sigh in agreement. She picked up Gloom and ran back to shore.
Too tired all of a sudden the Gyrados couldn't keep himself up anymore. He fell, bending where the ice held him. His massive body collapsing into the water sending up a mighty wave. "Oh...shit..." Kaya said, staring up at the wave before it came crashing down. The ice bridge broke as part of Gyrados' body collapsed on top of it. The water settled buy Kaya was gone. Lapras gave a startled cry and plunged his head into the water. Barely a moment later he came back up, holding Kaya by her turtleneck. She coughed and spluttered a moment before laughing. "Thanks Lapras, put me by Gyrados will you?" Lapras obliged her and gently set her on the free floating ice. Soaked and dripping her steps were unsteady given the slickness of the ice but she doggedly moved to the fast fading Gyrados. It made low, pitiful sounds as it blinked its bleary eyes as the approaching human. "Hey...hey...shhhh it's ok," Kaya said gently as she approached.
Reaching out she laid a hand on the three pointed crest between his slowly blinking eyes. "I'm sorry we had to do this to you but you scared everyone." Gently she stroked the crest as she looked him over. Besides the paralysis and the sleep powder he wasn't any worse for the wear. The whole event had been odd but there had been no time to think, just act. Now that all had settled down Kaya could wonder why the Gyrados suddenly appeared and attacked. A shame it wasn't easier to talk to Pokemon, despite their intelligence. Kaya looked over Gyrados again. His scales shimmering and glossy in the morning light. Then she noticed several spots along his body where the scales were damaged, missing or shattered. Clearly it wasn't from their attacks either. "Looks like we weren't the first ones you fought huh? How about you stay with us then?" Gyrados' eyes narrowed a moment as though confused. After a few moments it made a small, high little roar sound, eyes closing as if smiling. Kaya grinned and laughed quietly. "Ok then," she said as she took out an empty ball. With a light toss the ball bounced off of Gyrados' side. In a bright, red flash he caught caught. The ball didn't even light up or wiggle, there had been no struggle. Kaya smiled as she picked the ball back up. "We'll take good care of you. Promise," she said to the ball.
Kaya waved Lapras over. He gave an excited little cry and lowered his head to her. "You did so good! I'm proud of you," she said with an affectionate hug to his face. Lapras gave another delighted cry and lifted. His head with Kaya still holding on. She laughed as he easily picked her up and swam for shore, depositing her on the land. "Pika pi!" Pikachu ran up and jumped onto Kaya. Butterfree, Rapidash, and Fearow all joined. Gloom stood off and well away from the group. "You all did really good," she said while lavishing affection of each Pokemon. Kaya paused and looked over at Gloom. With a hard swallow she moved towards him, holding her breath. Gloom looked up but jerked his face away. "Gloom I..." she stared but gagged and coughed. Even after that Gloom still wouldn't stop emitting that eye watering odor. "Gloom can't we...?" But Gloom huffed and shot a little of his stun spore her eyes. "Fine then, return," she said and recalled him to his ball. "Oh Gloom..."
Finally Kaya went over to Aydin and Dragonair. "Is she ok?" She asked, crouching down beside them. "We might need to go to town and take some of them to the Pokemon Center soon," Kaya suggested. "Dragonair is really brave, standing up to Gyrados like that. You must be really proud of her," Kaya added with a grin.
human
Alakazam! Aydin was beginning to shout, summoning forth the Pokemon he thought most suitable for this task. Half of his concentration unfortunately would be stuck on keeping Ampharos from shocking the entire lake and every Pokemon in it, the wild ones and his included.Had he been in his trainer days, this Gyrados would be mince meat by now.He would have thrown a fire or rock type at it just to test his skill. But he didnt get a chance to relive his glory days. There came the sound of a shrill whistle and before he knew it, Kaya herself was rushing forth with her entire team. Aydin slowly rose to his feet, adjusting his glasses to behold the sight. She looked terribly beautiful and brave all at the same time as she stepped forwards.
Well, time for some on-the-job training.
He held up his hand to restrain Alakazam when the psychic-type finally came around, a minute too late. Dragonair cradled in his arms, he watched as Kaya took the challenge head on, no easy feat when the opponent was a Mount Silver variety Gyrados. She started by having her Lapras make an ice bridge to and fro the wild Pokemon, a smart move in allowing non-water types to get close. Wouldnt they slip off though? Pikachu made a pedestrian effort to protect the others but he figured there was little danger to them now. If Kaya couldnt do it, he had his team finally ready to go. Even Rhydon stomped nearer, observing the action, while his lesser buddies watched from further away. They knew when a group battle became a one-on-one.
Clearly Kaya knew her stuff, or was just plain crazy, as she and her Rapidash took to the ice with precarious balance. A fire type, using an ice bridge to battle a water type! It looked ridiculous in all outward appearances. But her Rapidash wasnt the one to do the fighting. It was herGloom! The little flower Pokemon seemed an ant compared to the giant Gyrados, still flailing against the ice.What was that stench?Utilizing an unorthodox combination, Kaya had her Pokemon both paralyze and exhaust the Gyrados with sleep powder. The faint mist and haze swirled about the larger Pokemon, who was unable to escape its embrace. Little by little, the water-type lost its zeal, allowing for Kaya to be in full control of the situation. Very impressive! He didnt watch what her Pokemon did any more. No, he only watched her, how in control she was, and how authoritative it all looked.Very beautiful indeed.
That is, until she got caught in the onrush of water from Gyrados collapse. Aydin nearly shouted her name in terror, watching with anxiety and worry for a moment, until her Lapras emerged holding the stupidly brave girl by her sweater.
Then surprising of all things, she began to comfort and soothe the Gyrados. It was defeated, let it slink off to its cave or cove to nurse its wounds! Hopefully it would learn its lesson about coming on Aydins turf but Kaya had other ideas. Kaya. He began to say, unsure if he would hear him as she talked to Gyrados. She should get out of there before it turned on her! It wouldnt do if his attractive new helper got put in a hospital bed on her first day. Yet of all the things she could doshe captured it. With a red flash, the Gyrados disappeared into the ball and didnt resist. Kaya had caught herself a powerful Pokemon. Very impressive. Very, very impressive. And beautiful.
Kaya came back, congratulating her Pokemon. Alakazam and Rhydon looked unimpressed, though Ampharos and the others all cheered for her feats. Again, there was that stench, which he realized came from her Gloom. His Gloom didnt do any of that. Thankfully she returned her Gloom to its Pokeball and all was settled. At last Kaya approached, with Dragonair offering a weak sound in gratitude for the rescue. She was already recovering, having taken only a single tail whip. That should answer Kaya concerns itself as Dragonair slinked back into the safe water, along with all the other water-types. They swam and played around Lapras, now officially apart of their crew.
She will be alright. Shes taken worse but theres no need for Pokemon Centers just yet. Shell be stronger from the experience. Im very proud of her. Aydin remarked, standing now with one hand in his pocket. His other slapped down on Kayas shoulder with encouragement and a smile from his kind lips. And Im proud of you too! That was remarkable, Kaya. You handled the threat and not only that, you made a new friend. Youre more than welcome to train your Gyrados here, though just be careful it doesnt cause a rematch with any of the others. Aydin said, withdrawing his hand and then sighing with a sad note, looking to his Pokemon. Alakazam, bereft of a good fight, slunk back to his spot to meditate. Rhydon decided to go crush some rocks.
The other Pokemon gave her another rousing cheer. Magneton! His Magneton declared, all three eyes showing glee. Golduck popped by her side, trying to get her attention and brag about how he could have handled that fight for her (if they could understand him).
This is why I need a helper. If Im working too much, my Pokemon dont get the attention and exercise they need. Which makes them easy targets for the wilds to pick on. Had I been more attentive, Im sure my Dragonair could have prevailed. He lamented with a shake of his head. Or the others could have reacted in time. But I feel much better knowing they are in suitable hands. Your hands, Kaya. Aydin said, flashing his smile again, as he reached to take her hands and hold them in his. He looked down at them a moment, his hands under her hands, his thumbs caressing her palms. She had such nice hands
Then he remembered himself and looked to her face, then to her soaked sweater and all. Looks like you need another change of clothes! And something warm to drink, no doubt. You should go on in and change. I have some old sweaters you can wear too if it gets too cold. Ill get another pot of coffee brewing then you can officially start your day. He chuckled. Properly. Come along. He said and still holding one of her hands, led her back into the house for her to change, while he got another warm brew going.
It seemed he had quite a powerful Pokemon trainer as company. He wondered vaguely if that would be a problem in regards to hismandated research. Not everyone would agree. He didnt even rightly agree. But he had a job to do and he owed his debts to the Organization. He only had to trust that Kaya wouldnt be an issue.And if she waswhat am I to do?
gpt
Dragonair's little sound of thanks brought a bright smile to Kaya's face. At least no one got hurt. Arguably not even Gyrados was injured. Clearly well enough she watched as Dragonair slunk back off into the water to join in the frolicking with the other water types who included Lapras in their joyful dancing play. She watched contendly as Aydin spoke of his pride for Dragonair. The sudden slap on her shoulder startled her a little, her head whipping around to look up at him. His praise brought a sheepish grin and a light dusting of pink to her cheeks. She'd heard often enough a trainer needed more than six pokemon and her only having six made her a poor excuse for a trainer. Aydin's suddenly sad expression only amplified the pressed doubts in her mind even as his other Pokemon gave another rousing cheer. Golduck's antics brought her smile back with a small laugh. She reached out and patted his sleek head, not sure what he was trying to say but it was cute.
Kaya listened to Aydin's lament of his own failings. His life had changed from an adventerous trainer to...well whatever it was he did that took his time away from training. It happened for most trainers. Settling down after years of adventure. Kaya opened her mouth to assuage his despondent woes but was cut off as he turned his attention to her. The sudden smile lit up his face and did little to prepare her as his hands shot out to grab her own. Kaya blinked up at him as he held her hands, staring at them. The light strokes of his thumbs against her palms sent a little tremor down her back. His hands were warm, strong, not gripping hers as prisoners but holding gently. She hadn't a clue what he was doing. Such a touch was oddly familiar as was his sudden use of her given name. It was strange but not entirely unpleasant. A quiet settled around them as if the world had stilled.
Suddenly he snapped out of whatever thoughts ran through his mind, head up to look at her once more. Kaya gave a small laugh at his comments. "Something hot sounds nice...but I should learn to stop getting this sweater wet," she said as he turned and led her back to the house. Still he held onto one of her hands. What a strange man Aydin was. She glanced back at the Pokemon who bore a myriad of looks from surprise to amusement and a little irritation, though that was from Golduck alone. Kaya followed him back inside and headed to her room to change while he got more coffee brewing. She didn't have a lot, her turtleneck being the bulkiest and warmest article of clothing she possessed. All she had left was a pair of shorts and another camisole, black instead of her soaked white one. She pulled her curtain of violet hair back and into a braid which she wound around the back on her head to keep the long, wet locks off her back.
"Maybe I might have to borrow a sweater," she said as she emerged in the small black camisole and incredibly short shorts bearing the vast majority of her smooth, soft skin. "I didn't spend much time in Silvertown...do they have shops? Clothing and such? I should probably consider a wider range of clothes," she said with a small laugh while plucking at the camisole. "Traveling light means sacrificing a decent wardrobe," she said as she gratefully took a mug of coffee. Already the thin hair rose on her arms from the light chill on being on the shorts and camisole, a shiver running through her body. Boy was she glad summer was on its way and she was most certainly not looking forward to winter despite it being far away still.
human
The coffee was soon brewing again, filling the air with the strong scent of it that vitalized the senses. Aydin watched with diligent oversight, until he heard Kayas footsteps coming back down the hall. He didnt turn to look at her until she suggested her want of a sweater again. And when he did set eyes upon her, Aydin was astonished by her beauty and attractiveness. His eyes couldnt help but sweep down to her naked legs and back up again to her eyes as she spoke of what amenities were available in Silvertown. Ihave a town brochure somewhere. He stammered at first, overawed by her appearance. He turned quickly to pour two cups of coffee, bringing one over to her and trying a sip of his.
I know what you mean. You either break your back with a heavy pack and wear down your feet or take frequent stops to wash and stay comfortable. He gave a soft laugh in remembrance of some of his own experiences with that. Why dont you check that drawer there for that brochure? It should have a list of all stores in Silvertown so that way you know what to look for. Ill fetch you that sweater. Aydin said, eyes lingering on her a moment before turning and heading up the stairs.She had a stunning body. He wouldnt mind seeing her morewet, on occasion.Plucking a crimson zip up hoody, Aydin soon returned downstairs and set it over a chair.
Should be about your size. Im taller so this will hang lower on your legs. Aydin said, before nearly cringing at the mention of Kayas legs. Her most glorious legs. It should start to get warmer during the day, though summer nights can still get pretty cold. If you do plan on staying, you should have a range between heavy sweaters and wellt-shirts and jerseys. Aydin suggested, stopping himself from suggestingnothingas the other end of that spectrum. He needed to stop thinking of Kaya in that way! He might come off as a creep or worse. Gulping down his scolding hot coffee quite rapidly, Aydin sighed and rose to his feet.
Well I got to get to work and so do you, Ms. Murasakino. Theyll be wanting their lunch soon, out there. Theyll start a riot if you arent tardy on it. He took the mugs to set in the kitchen. He figured he would wash those later right, as he didnt think Kaya would help around the house. She was meant to help with the Pokemon, he could handle all the in house choring. But when would he get time for that? There was a lot of work to do downstairs that he needed to catch up on. An exciting first day huh? Good luck out there. There is an intercom in the Barn if you need to reach me. Any questions, just ask. Aydin said with a smile and would wait until she departed the house before he went down into the basement laboratory, behind lock and key, with only his Magneton.
Outside, some of the Pokemon were still waiting around for Kaya. She had fought for them and therefore must be part of the team. The majority, though not all, saw it this way and greeted her when she emerged quite happily. His Raticate and Venonat ran around her legs, their fur tickling her skin. Ledyba attached to the back of her borrowed hoody, clinging there. Others like Jolteon, Graveler, Golduck, and even the larger Arbok were around, hanging on her every word and movement.Play? Wrestle? Food?

"Thank you," she said with a wide smile as he gestured to the drawer for the brochure. His actions seemed oddly hesitant. Perhaps just tired and a little wound up from that fight with Gyrados. The place he had chosen as his home was certainly a dangerous one. As he left to grab a sweatshirt for her she opened the drawer and picked up the folded pamphlet. Sipping her coffee she leaned against the counter to look over the brochure. It wasn't a big town but there were enough people there to have some life. A couple of small shops, a bar, a grocery. Of course the Pokemon center. Surprisingly there was even a stadium that hosted the "Silver Conference." Funny enough the qualifications to enter were all of the Johto badges. Maybe she should have headed to Johto sooner and given up on an Earth badge.
Hearing returning footsteps Kaya looked up as Aydin came down the stairs with a brilliantly red shirt in his hands. "So long as it's warm," she said with a small laugh, setting her coffee down. As he spoke of the range of clothing she might need she picked up the hoodie and slung it on, zipping it up. He wasn't wrong, it hung low. Hell, it hung lower than her shorts. Standing straight up it looked like she wore nothing but the hoodie. "Guess I'll have some shopping to do later," she said as she picked her coffee back up. Though she stopped as Aydin gulped down the hot drink as if it were a beer at the end of a good, hot work day. She got in only a few more sips before he got to his feet, declaring they had a lot of work to get done. Well he wasn't wrong on that account. The last thing she wanted was to make the Pokemon angry. Despite the deep bonds that could be built Pokemon were still dangerous when angered.
"Alright, I will do my best!" With a small, amused wave she headed out to the barn, leaving Aydin to do...whatever it was he did. She considered asking but it wasn't really her business. After all, he was her employer and not, technically, her friend. Friendly of course with funny little mannerisms but still her boss.
Outside she found herself swarmed with delighted and, likely, hungry Pokemon. Kaya laughed as the fur of Raticate and Venomoth tickled her legs. Ledyba's weight yanked on the hoodie. "It's nice to see all of you too. Are you guys hungry? Let's get some food and then we can play alright?" It wasn't too difficult of a task really. Some of the Pokemon were easier to feed, especially the ones that could be fed in groups. His sassier Pokemon, like Rhydon, were hard to not be a little intimidated by. Even still Kaya kept up her pleasant, friendly airs with him. Alakazam was also a challenge. "Pudding, pudding, pudding," she kept repeating to herself as she dished out food for the psychic Pokemon. Couldn't let on that it was not pudding. Her own Pokemon joined in for feeding, Pikachu pouted a little wanting some candy for dessert. She was a little slow with the whole process, not being familiar with their habits or the exact locations of their food. It wouldn't be long before the process went smoother.
It was well after noon before she was finished and her own stomach was rumbling. With Pikachu on her shoulder she headed inside to make up a small lunch for herself. Strange that Aydin had effectively vanished. She made simple sandwiches for the time being, leaving one out for Aydin as she took hers outside. As she passed the barn she paused and rang him up on the intercom. "No problems but I made lunch and left you some on the counter," she said, her smile able to come through in her voice. With that she headed out to walk the grounds with a small herd at her heels. Pikachu kept arguing with Ledyba, trying to get the bug off Kaya. Only he could ride on her. "Pikachu, be nice," she gently chastised.
Another round of feeding for dinner. It went a little quicker but still it was close to dark by the time she finished up. With the work done for the day Kaya headed back inside. Still no sign of Aydin. Well no problem. She got some dinner started for them, for whenever Aydin might return. With a little left over money from her last small job, escorts on Lapras, perhaps she might go into town tomorrow to grab just a few clothing items. While dinner cooked a bath sounded pretty nice. The hoodie had helped but her legs were icicles. She left Pikachu to hang out with Nidorina and grabbed up a towel before heading up the stairs to the bathroom for a wash and a soak.
human
Despite the hiring and presence of Kaya, it was still difficult for Aydin to focus on his secret work.
It could have just been day one anxieties. Could she do it? Was she up to the task of caring for his Pokemon? It was not unreasonable for Aydin to worry and fret. They were his companions, his comrades in arms, his friends and even family. He was handing some of the most precious things in his life over to this woman. He wanted to check on her, to see if she was doing everything correctly right down to the most minute detail. But Aydin employed some restraint, telling himself over and over again that it was okay and that Kaya seemed a diligent helper. He could focus on his task.
The dark cellar was only the size of his conjoined kitchen and dining area. A ladder led up to a hatch which opened into the actual home basement, full of excess and tools that any normal household would appear to have. Down here though it was like stepping into a new world. Mount Silver was wild and uncivilized. And his manor out here was rustic with some comforts of modern life. Down here it was beyond that. An independent power generator was in one corner, tall server stacks set in another, full of high tech machinery and wiring. A sleek desk was positioned facing the entrance, complete with two monitors and a very powerful computer.
Shaking the mouse dispelled the spinning TR logo of his screensaver, opening up his precious files and research, days and weeks of arduous observation, experimentation, and reports of specimens.Larvitars. Pupitars.They were among the rarest breeds of Pokemon found on this mountain side. Their final evolved state, Tyranitar, was even rarer and uncommon. But it was his job, to utilize this technology, to induce such evolutions in the Larvitars he could capture. A cruel practice, capturing them in traps and then bringing them here to be put in a large glass container, where rays and sensors induced it with artificial energies that triggered the evolution. So far, it had an unfortunate result of making the resulting evolved specimenswilder and violent. More so than was usual around here.
Aydin didnt like it but it was what he was commissioned to do. The Organization had looked out for him before. They put money in his pocket, which provided him the means to provide better care for his Pokemon. He had the brains for this, the Executive Committee had declared.The Boss himself has high hopes for him.With Kaya present to watch the grounds and his Pokemon, he could work unfettered. He had no live specimen, as the previous one had been induced to high levels of violence that nearly leveled his home. That had been a month ago. Right now, he was using this time to recalculate and recalibrate the energy rays. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he entered and redid all sorts of formulas.
Kayas voice crackled over the intercom to inform him of lunch. Aydin hadnt even kept track of time, the voice even startling him a little. He told himselffive more minutes then Ill go up. He ended up getting caught in his work and his sandwich went uneaten.
He only ceased after many more hours because his fingers felt stiff, his eyes hurt from the illumination, and his butt ached from sitting so long. Yet he had never worked this much without interruption before and he felt he made great progress, completing what would have taken a week in only a days worth. He earned a reprieve and so far there had been no reports from Kaya on any trouble. He logged off his computer and shut down the machinery for now, ascending the ladder. No one was in the home yet and a quick glance out the window showed that Kaya was still out and about.No fires, flooding, or fissures opening up in the ground.That was a good sign! He could use a shower though before settling in for dinner and maybe his own time with his Pokemon. He was starting to miss them a little.
That was when the thoughts of Kaya came unbidden to him, as he stood in the hot shower, the water trickling down his lean but strong physique. He couldnt help but think of herwet again, her hair soaked and the clothes clinging to her body, accentuating her figure.And what was her figure like under those clothes?But no, he couldnt think that! She was his employee and he didnt want the workplace to get awkward. She was good at her job. He needed to keep her happy and not being admired by her eccentric boss. As he got out to dry himself, wrapping the towel about his waist and leaving his abdomen and chest exposed, he pondered what excuse he should give as to his whereabouts this entire time.
It seemed he would need an answer sooner than later, as the washroom door suddenly flew open on him.
Living for so long alone, Aydin wasnt in the habit of locking doors. Who was going to come in? His Pokemon understood some concept of the need for personal space when showering or sleeping. Aydin looked up, no glasses at all with soaked hair clinging to his face, to see Kaya standing in the doorway. And he just standing there in a towel. It wasnt as if he should be embarrassed about his body. He just hadnt expected this and for a momenthad nothing to say as he gawked at her, one hand clutching the towel around his waist.A little too low, revealing just the upper half of his strong pelvis.
Ms. Murasakino! I didnt know personal sponge baths was a part of the job description butwell, you aint getting paid extra for it. He managed to tease and wink.
gpt
Kaya hadn't been thinking outside of simply wanting to shower and soak for a little. It had been a busy day and a relaxing soak sounded amazing. Not just that but her hair smelled a little of lake. The showers at Pokemon centers usually had indicators on the doors to announce occupancy. Somehow she entirely forgot that homes didn't have such devices. A little mentally absent and blithely unaware she pulled the handle and pushed the door open. No knock, no warning. First it was the steam at hit her and broke her out of the single-mindedness of desiring a wash and soak. She blinked and her eyes refocused forward only to meet with a pair of steely, blue-grey eyes.
Her entire body froze up as she stared at Aydin. All but naked, clutching the small towel around his hips. Kaya's eyes swept from his wet hair, clinging to the sharp, handsome planes of his face down to his lean, surprisingly defined body, all the way to his toes. Then all the way back up, several times in fact. The first sweep brought a red tinge to her face, the color deepening after every glance. His teasing comment broke her out of the rigid, nearly fascinated, shock. She met his eyes again, her ears hotter than Rapidash's mane. At some point her heart had completely halted but when it came back its pace tripled, pumping more and more hot blood through her ears face face. All the while her face retained the frozen shock. Hand still on the handled she very suddenly, swung the door back, slamming it shut. "I'm so sorry!" She managed to squeakily shout through the closed door.
Mortified. Kaya hadn't a clue what to do. Go bother with dinner some more, hide in her room, run outside and jump in the lake? Unable to decide she leaned against the wall next to the door, burying her face into her folded towel. Her ears rang with the furiously throbbing blood racing through them. Everything was only made worse as the image seemed burned into her eyes. In the semi-darkness of her face smashed into the towel all she could see was Aydin. Not unpleasant but she couldn't see her boss like that! So inappropriate! Kaya groaned into the towel, willing the image away. Stubborn as her Gloom. This was ridiculous, she needed to get a grip. It was an accident, not like she had ever even thought...and she wasn't a peeping tom either.
When Aydin finished she managed to pull her face from her towel but could hardly look at him. She muttered another apology before skittering into the bathroom. Time. She just needed time to calm down. First a shower. The hot water was soothing but didn't help her still furious blush. Even with her eyes open she could still see the image. Kaya rubbed her face with a growl and vigor. "Stop it, stop it, stop it," she muttered to herself. In all her years of travel she hadn't run across someone like Aydin. Well, perhaps not totally true, she had just never paused to consider anyone. Never staying in one place for long and with no one but her Pokemon for a companion she had never really looked at anyone that way. Certainly never saw a man in a towel. Such an attractive man in a towel. For a recluse he certainly had a nice physique. "Stop it, stop it, stop it," she growled to herself once again. "That's your boss, idiot!"
Kaya ended up taking a far longer shower than intended, spending more time agonizing over the incident and berating herself for thinking of her boss in such a way, that she opted to forgo the soak. She'd stood under the hot water long enough before even realizing she was there to wash. Finally she was squeaky clean and stepped out to dry, taking care to wring out and dry her hair as much as possible. Rather than walk out in a towel she redressed in her clean turtle neck and leggings, intending to wash the hoodie and shorts that evening. She really needed more clothes. As she left the washroom she desperately hoped Aydin might just go back to whatever it was he did while she looked after the Pokemon. The last thing she wanted was to face him, at least for a while. At least until she could get her rampant, lewd thoughts reigned in.
human
Maybe the joke was inappropriate and in bad taste. Kaya, flushed redder than any ripe apple, could barely keep her composure it seemed. It made Aydin think there might be something embarrassing about his body. Was he too skinny? Too small?Maybe she didnt even play for that team.He couldnt do anything with his hands, not to usher her out or assure her it was okay, for otherwise the towel would slip off his body and expose it all. Now that would be bad. This was already bad. An employee of his had seen him half naked! And it would be his fault, forgetting to lock the doors. He never had to before! He was about to voice an apology when Kaya suddenly backed out and shut the door, apologizing herself.
It was then that the cooler airs of the bathroom began to kiss his body after the hot shower. Moving to the door, he listened a moment before locking it with aclickthat sounded just a bit too loud for his ears. He immediately sighed and rubbed his face, letting the towel drape off a little more. He looked to the foggy mirror and wondered a moment what this would mean. This little bit of awkwardness might kill her employment and leave him stuck again.Why was she so red? Embarrassed? Or something else?
That was too good to be thought of as true for Aydin though. They had only known each other a short day at most. He finished drying, brushing his teeth, and wrapped a bigger towel around himself, before exiting out the door. He found Kaya nearby, her face in the towel. You can go in now. He said and stood aside as she rushed in, apologizing again. No, it wasnt her fault he had been lax and stuck in habit. No one lived here with him before so he never had a reason to lock doors! Well that would have to change, if she stuck around after that. He hoped she would. He wasntthatbad to look at? But in comparison to who?Her? She was gorgeous to look at.He went to his room, got dressed in dress pants and a tucked in collared shirt, with a sleeveless sweater-vest atop, undid at the neck. Then he went downstairs to prep dinner and await Kayas return. He had to have a talk with her before this got ruined.
Or made better.
Aydin had to mentally chide himself to stop thinking that way about her. She was beautiful and attractive, intelligent too, but there were rules and standards to keep as employer-employee. What man couldnt fantasize though? He was chopping up vegetables, mostly carrots, garlic, and small bits of other greens, with some potatoes to skin later for a hot stew, when Kaya finally did come. Unfortunately her room was on the other side of the kitchen from the stairs. He had put out a dish of candy for Nidorina and Kayas Pikachu to enjoy, while his Magneton floated behind the electric-typemuch like a creepy stalker, drawn to the electric currents around Pikachu.Oh great, does he get it from me?Aydin worried and still had that frown when Kaya arrived.
It had nothing to do with her but it might appear that way. He turned to her and gave her a slight bow, hands at his side. Ms. MurasakinoI should apologize for that. Habit of living alone for so long I just dont get in the habit of locking doors around here. Not many people around and I dont think most Pokemon have a concept of private space anyways. He said, politely and formally, giving a little chuckle as he straightened up. I hope this wont affect our friendship. He turned back to his chopping, his hand moving the knife a little slowly. He wasnt a pro cooker but he knew enough to get by.
Im hope youre hungry. Im making stew today- he said, before cutting himself off with a little gasp. The knife came too near to his finger. No blood though, thankfully. But it hurt like a pinch. He simply shook his fingers and started again. I figure since you made lunch, I could handle the evening meal. Taking care of me was never a part of the deal so Id like to return the favor. He said, hoping the small talk might help put Kaya at ease. How was your day with the Pokemon? No explosions, craters, or knocked over trees as far as I can see. At least not what was already there before you came.
gpt
Kaya came down the stairs and heard the slow, methodical chopping of vegetables. Every muscle in her face seized into a wince. So much for hiding out a little to calm herself down. Well it was part of being an adult right? Accidents happened. Lewd and crude thoughts were natural, right? She had to convince herself to keep moving and try to move past it all. It was too good of a job to just up and leave from silly embarrassment even though it would be impossible to avoid him for a couple of days. Kaya took a couple slow, quiet, breaths before finishing her decent down the stairs. She had hoped to pass by relatively unnoticed to at least put up her towel and clothes. Aydin, it seemed, had other plans. His movement caught her eye and she stopped in her tracks looking over as he bowed and gave an apology.
His apology cut through her as well as the knife through what he was chopping up. It wasn't his fault she was impolite and just barged in on him. As he stood up she flushed a little and glanced away. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry. This is your home and I should have knocked." Of course they could circle about with apologies and forgiveness. Maybe it really wasn't so bad. Shame about that image still burned into her mind, more or less. Pleasing as it was it was hard to look at him without seeing the image overlaid into reality. She watched him a moment before moving to turn back to put her things up when he spoke again, breaking off with a little gasp. He shook it off though, no damage done. Kaya gave a small, wan smile as he went on as if it hadn't happened. "It was a fine day, everyone seems in good spirits even after Garados's appearance," she said with a brighter grin. Pokemon was a safe topic.
"One second please," she said before quickly moving to her room to set down the things she was holding. Surprising herself she was quick to return. She glanced over seeing Pikachu and Nidorina sharing the candies. At least he wasn't gobbling them down greedily and seemed to be sharing with Nidorina. Kaya let him be and strolled back towards Aydin as he cut up the vegetables. For a minute she watched his almost agonizingly slow process. "You know, you're going to loose a finger one of these days if you keep chopping like that," she said with a small laugh. "Here, hold the carrot like this..." Rather than simply grab another knife and carrot to show she wound her arm under his and repositioned his fingers so only the very tip touched the carrot and the heel held the vegetable steady. "See? Now you use the knuckles as a guide, let the knife slide along them." Her side was nearly pressed up to his as she held his hands to show him. "I spent some time in Celadon, the longest I've really spent anywhere, working at a restaurant to save up a little and continue traveling. The head chef taught me a few things which came in really handy. Nice older lady I was almost sad to leave and continue traveling."
So close he would be able to smell her one permitted luxury. Her freshly washed hair wafted soft scents of honeysuckle and lavender. "Just be careful not to get too exuberant and raise the knife too high or you'll cut your knuckles," she added with another small laugh. "It's a little awkward at first but once you get the hang of it you can chop really quick. You've got bigger hands than me too so you can chop more before having to adjust," she said with another quiet, short laugh.
human
Youll get used to the surprise visits around here. Aydin said in regards to Kayas response about Gyrados, before giving a nod to her wish to quickly dart out of the kitchen. Was the awkwardness building up again? He wiped his brow with his forearm, not knowing he had been feelinghot, since Kaya got into the room. It was like his body was trying to say something. Or rather, scream it.Desire.Thats what it was. But Aydin tried to mentally will himself to let it go. He had been here in the wilds so long, without proper dealings with proper women for some time. Well, not since his break up really. He did encounter other trainers here and there, some female. But he never felt for them as he felt forKaya.
And when she returned, like a magnet she came right up beside him with a polite chiding on his inability to chop vegetables without chopping himself. He gave only a lopsided smile as he stood and watched her perform the technique, taking his arm in her own grip. Skin against skin. She felt so smooth and unblemished, especially after the shower. He cursed the water enviously that got to trickle down her body. And the smell from her hair was heavenly, to the point he was overloading his sense of smell and losing his sense of hearing, vital given that she was teaching him how to cut vegetables. He needed to get a hold of himself!
He kept his smile fixated on his face. Thank you for that. I think Ill be able to not add any unwanted ingredients to our stew now. He chuckled himself.Idiot. When has self-maiming ever been joke material?He followed her instruction, using his knuckles to frame his chopping. He did have bigger hands then her. It was very noticeable, given how close their hands were. Magneton chirped behind them, as if he could feel the electricity brimming between them. Celadon huh? Nice city. A lot less gruff than Saffron. It seems you have quite some adventures and stories under your belt.Yes, you would love to know what was under herbelt.I miss those days. Too many Pokemon Aydin sighed, his words interrupted occasionally by the knife slicing through to hit the wooden board beneath.
They were side by side, practically hip to hip. Well since youre keen on helping out, why dont you get the water boiling? That kettle there He nodded, before giving her a little bump with his own hip to encourage her. Just a harmless joke right? But as always, his jokes always had that underlying desire.He would love to bump hips with her, in a much different manner.When my Typhlosion was just a Quilava still, never had to wait around for boiling. Just a little Ember burn under the pot and itll be ready to go in a few seconds. Now theyre too big to bring into the house. He chuckled, grabbing the potatoes next to peel. He was a lot faster with that.
The food was added to the kettle, along with a pinch of various spices and herbs. Soon a delicious aroma would waft through the kitchen. Aydin washed his hands and went to sit at the table, where Nidorina jumped in his lap, overly excited. He pet her absentmindedly. Your hair smells nice today, Ms. Murasakino. Brought your own shampoo and conditioner? Thats one of the modern comforts Ive been missing out here. My own hair has been he raked his fingers along his wavy dark blue hair, almost blackish in the night. He didnt finish his thought. It wasnt bad. But it could be better. And it should be better, when in the presence of a lady.
An idea flicked into his mind. You wouldnt turn down a drink, would you Kaya? He offered quietly, informally even. He was obviously referring to liquor.
gpt
His thanks and slight joke caused Kaya to pause a moment. She blinked at him before laughing at the morbid joke. Well Im all for a bit of meat in the pot but maybe not fingers, she said through her light laughter. She stayed by his side as she watched him get the hang of cutting in that manner. Behind them she heard Magneton chirp happily, glancing back and grinning at the happy Pokemon. Despite not having much help his Pokemon seemed happy and well taken care of. Most of them, some a little grumpier but each had their own personality. His comment on the major metropolises in Kanto and Johto brought a rueful grin. She had heard a few nefarious rumors about Saffron. Hell there were similar ones about Celadon only making her glad she had moved on and never deigned to return. Though she did often wonder about Mrs. Irazuka and how she fared with her restaurant. Id take this ranch over a big city any day. I prefer open spaces, Kaya admitted with a rueful grin.
She had barely paid attention to how close they were when she taught him how to chop. It was no closer than Mrs. Irazuka had gotten when teaching Kaya. Constantly correcting her hand placement, her worry manifesting into irritation. Though the realization of their proximity was quickly dawning on her as she felt the warmth radiate from his body, the clean and masculine scent of him. Yes she was painfully aware of how close they were but she couldnt just jerk away suddenly, that would lead to another sharp moment of embarrassment. Thankfully Aydin remedied it with the suggestion she fill the pot up to boil, urging her on with the gentle bump of his hip. Kayas ears burned again but she took the hint and moved away. Stupid, stupid girl. It was oddly hard to want to move though, even with that image still splayed in her mind. She enjoyed the warmth of his side, the feel of his hand under hers. Still she knew she had to get out of there.
Kaya gave a laugh as he spoke of his Typhlosion. And you might end up burning this house downthough I guess the pot would be boiling then, she said with another little laugh. If he could make morbid jokes about chopping his fingers off why not a joke about the house burning down? Kaya did as asked and filled up the pot for him to toss in the cut up vegetables. Then she simply moved back and let him work. Soon enough the savory smell of stew filled the air. Enough so Pikachu stopped munching on candies to jump up onto her shoulder and sniff towards the pot. Smells goo huh Pikachu? Kaya said with a bright grin and scratched the mouse under his chin. Chyaaa! He responded in delight. Kaya moved away from the kitchen to join Aydin at the table as he complimented her hair products and lamented about his hair. Just the products he meant she was certain. They did smell nice.
Though before she could respond about hair products he made his offer of a drink. Kaya hesitated a moment. Alcohol was a very rare luxury. While she did enjoy it she didnt get the chance too very often. Uhmsure, I mean, nowait She frowned at herself before laughing at her own blundering. Sorry. Yes, I would like a drink. Ill admit I dont drink too much, any extra money I had usually goes to nice shampoo and conditioner, she added still laughing a little. Youre welcome to use them if you dont mind smelling like a girl. She glanced at his hair that he lamented about. It didnt seem bad. A handsome shade of dark blue. Her stomach did a little flip as she remembered it plastered to his face, heavy and wet. I was thinking of going to Silvertown in a day or so anyways to get a couple more shirts and pants, I could get you some if you want. In a less feminine scent too, she said with an amused wink.
human
It was quite fortunate Kaya did not find his joke to be morbid and even knocked off her own sardonic remark, which had Aydin give her a smile. Quick wit, pretty features, was there anything Kaya couldnt do? He did however shake his head at her preference of open spaces over the cities. Until you want certain amenities. It gets lonely out here. And though we get some excitement, it isnt the right kind of excitement, you know? Aydin said as Kaya prepared the pot for the stew. Who wanted to fight every day of their life? Aydin had lived that life when adventuring. Now he found a good niche where he could relax and live an orderly, routinely life. It felt better that way. Some centralization, some foundation, it was good for him.
And the workit paid well, even if he didnt exactly agree.But it would ultimately be people like Kaya who get the end result, the Pokemon purchased through our store-front vendors. And I can trust them to take proper care of them.
Wisdom dictates I should keep Typhlosion in his Pokeball for that reason. I just cant bring myself to do it though. Aydin said with a half hearted shrug. Well if the house burned down, it did. It seemed an eventuality though out here. If not by his own Typhlosion then by something else. Maybe King Poliwrath would flood the lakeside or wild Onyxs would tunnel beneath, collapsing the foundation. Aydin would simply have to pack up and move somewhere else, a mile in some direction, and start all over. The work had to continue.
The kettle steamed and the ingredients boiled and mingled together. He watched Kaya interact with her Pokemon a moment before she agreed to his offer of a drink. He flicked his eyebrows at her hesitation, not quite moving as she didnt seem sure. Was it because she didnt drink or because she didnt expect it? A harmless vice, he figured, especially if done in moderation. Prioritizing the important things huh? I dont blame you. He chuckled to her remark. He fetched two glass cups first and pulled a bottle from another cupboard. It was unmarked, but the amber liquor shone in the light indicating what it was.Good stuff.He poured two cups and set one before her at the table. They had time before the food was ready. He listened to her suggestion as he took a sip, the explosive taste burning down his throat but giving him a warm, fuzzy sensation all the same.
I might take you up on that. Whos going to judge? He grinned to her offer of using her shampoo and such. She was certainly an expert in that, he wouldnt complain. But Aydin would give her a very pointed look when she expressed her desire to go to Silvertown. Tired of me already? Wanting to get away so soon? He questioned her, raising his cup to sip again but when he lowered it, the smile he was holding back was finally revealed. He was only joking. Go at the end of the week if you like. I got plenty of garments myself but thanks for the offer. Youre welcome to a few choice sweaters and jackets too if you like. Save some money. Aydin offered in return, before glancing to the window.
How fast do you think your Rapidash could take you? I never really ridden a Pokemon before. He scratched the side of his chin as he gazed up a moment in thought. He had a few who could carry him. Why hadnt he never done it? I hear with Rapidash the flames wont harm a rider they trust. I couldnt do the same with Typhlosion. He gets enraged once and flames spring up all from his back. I wouldnt want to get caught in that. He chuckled, recalling a few burns he had gotten accidentally.
He knocked back the rest of his drink and got up to check the kettle, leaving her with the implication of catching up or not. He prepped bowls and utensils and transferred the stew to another, cooler pot which could sit on the table. There was plenty to go around. Ill help you with dinner for the Pokemon after. My work went fine so I got a little free time. Youll still get your pay. He said as he poured her a dish. "How was the drink? They have a lounge or two in Silvertown as well, if you like a little variety. I didn't really get into it until I started living here. Everyone needs a little helper now and then. Especially with my lot out there." He said, referring to his Pokemon.

Boy when he mentioned a drink he mentioned a drink. Kaya watched, with mild apprehension, as he pulled out the clear bottle of unmarked, amber liquid. Her idea of a drink was usually lighter and fruitier in taste. There was no turning back of course. She accepted the glass he gave her, mentally preparing herself for whatever it might taste like. As he quipped about judgements of shampoo she took a small sip of the amber drink. It burned her mouth as much as a hot bao and it burned going down her throat. Kayas eyes watered a little from the hot sting of it and she fought the urge to cough. Though something she couldnt fight was the cringing wince as she felt the liquid all the way to her stomach. Even the aftertaste seemed to burn on her tongue as a warmth spread in her guts. It was like liquid rapidash fire. Though once the burn subsided it had a fairly pleasant smoky kind of caramel taste.
No, she wheezed before clearing her throat. I meanno, Im not tired of you, she managed to say with a tiny laugh even as he smiled and gave her leave to go at the end of the week. He offered up his own jackets and sweaters for her to use. It made sense, of course, save the money but she would need her own eventually and, who knew, there might be some decent sales given that summer was on its way. She tried another sip of the drink. It still burned but not nearly as bad as the first sip, the pleasant warmth quicker to spread from her stomach. She grinned a little, amused at the thought of riding a typhlosion even if it could be trusted not to burn the rider. Rapidash can gallop up to 150 miles an hourbut Ive never gone that fast on her. I mean weve gone fast before, real fast, but I dont even know what speed we were going. If we galloped I think we could probably make it to town inmaybe an hour? Of course I wouldnt make her gallop that long either.
Aydin was quick to finish off the drink. Kaya was amazed he didnt seem affected by it in the least. She went for another drink, only about half done with it as he put the stew into a cooler pot and dished out the bowls. Her eyebrows raised in surprise at his offer to help feed the Pokemon that evening. While she welcomed the help she felt it was a little odd given it was her job. The drink isgood, she managed to say with an almost cringing grin. I think, its not something Ive had before and itswowreally strong, she added with a laugh as he set out the bowls. But, yeah, its good once youre used to it. The stew, however, was fantastic. Simple but very good. Sure fancy, exotic meals were good but there was something so comforting about a good, simple stew. It actually felt kind of nice, sitting there with Aydin, eating their dinner after a good day of work. After years of camping or curled up wherever in a Pokemon Center it felt nice to have somewhere permanent to be and with such pleasant company.
Kaya managed to finish the drink and the full bowl of stew, plus a second bowl. She shared some bits of vegetable with Pikachu. Candy was his favorite but he had a healthy appetite and would eat just about anything. She stood up to help clear dishes, her knees just a little unsteady. You know I havent askedwhat work do you do AyderMr. Durov? Do you have hopes to be a researcher like Professor Oak and Professor Elm? She had told herself not to be curious but she could hardly help it and, for some reason, she felt a little bolder. Bold enough to ask and nearly slip with proper formality. He was still her boss after all.

I wouldnt recommend going full gallop in the woods. You might hit a low lying branch or something. Best take it slow. The town isnt going anywhere. Aydin answered her, curious and intrigued by this information. He didnt know that about Rapidashs. Perhaps he should acquire one himself, though given Kayas disposition towards the horse-pokemon, he figured it had been gifted to her and not caught wildly anywhere.
He could have laughed at the surprised quirk of her eyebrows when he offered to help. He needed a helper, not a replacement for himself. They were still his Pokemon and he was entitled to spend time with them too, was he not? She was still getting paid for it regardless. He did smile apologetically when she complimented the drink, though he could gleam the truth of it from her lopsided smile and words. It was adorable in a way. Whisky. A bit strong but its good for the palette and throat. Keeps some of the cold away too. He told her. He didnt think the food was anything special. A meal made with what amenities were available. Wild carrots could be found in the nearby countryside. There was plenty of wild herb and root. Whatever else could be got from the Silvertown markets.But a steak would be nice one day.
They ate heartedly and Aydin was joyed to see Kaya put away two whole bowls of it. It was difficult not to watch her throughout. Women eating was always an extraordinary affair. They didnt like it, or rather no one liked being watched when eating, yet it was an attractive sight that was hard to avoid. Aydin tried his best to be polite though, pretending to look past her sometimes or elsewhere. Thank you. He said when she took care of the dishes. Their partnership seemed so natural already, doing tasks and chores without even being needed to be told or asked. It wasnt even a part of her paid duties to do any of this. She was a traditional good girl in that way.And you, Aydin, are a sneak and a liar.
And he went chill to the bone when Kaya asked about his work.Stupid.He was, for even mentioning it, when he should have been concealing it out of all things. His thoughts went down the path that would lead to the basement and the hidden trap door into the cellar, where high tech servers and machinery and a dual monitor computer sat with tons of incriminating evidence. His smile failed him a moment and he looked down at his empty liquor cup, passing it hand to hand. He needed to formulate a good lie for this. Nidorina watched him, sensing his discomfort. He needed to remember that his Pokemon were much attuned to him. Negative emotions could carry over. And if discussion of his work made him seem uneasy, it might raise suspicions as to what it was.
She made her own guess so he went with it. Youre correct. Even half a researcher would be good for me. Aydin said, half lying, half telling the truth. He was doing research. But not for the same noble causes like the Professors. Theres plenty of wild, rare, and uncommon Pokemon on this mountain. I want to record and observe them. Compile my research together and then publish it. I might have retired from adventuring but I could never retire from Pokemon completely. He said, rubbing Nidorinas head who chirped happily at the touch. Something to do in my old age, you know? He jested, for he was still a young man, in his prime, and had no signs of aging or any of that. But compared to the energetic and intelligent Kaya? He felt old.And yet he felt younger too.
He did not think anything wrong with the question, which might mean he was willing to answer more personal questions. He liked that Kaya was curious about him. Maybe she shared similar attractions as he did for her. Id rather not show it though. Its all very secretive. The unfinished work is not pretty or neat. If I ever do complete it, hopefully itll be tidy to look at. He said, rising to his feet. He walked over and poured himself another drink, turning to her and shaking the bottle a little to ask her silently if she wanted another to. Lets go out and see how you work. The evening meal can be quite rowdy. Aydin instructed next and went to put on a coat before heading on outside, drink in hand.
His Pokemon were still scattered about. The water Pokemon lounged or swam. Those of the field ran or exercised. Predators like Arbok or Sneasel lurked in the grass, watchful. Jolteon and Raticate chased one another. Spearow watched from a tree, while Hoothoot and Golbat slept on another branch. It would be breakfast for them. Rhydon was busy with his rock collection, large boulders taller than any human, which he moved and shaped with his horn, before simply discarding and breaking them into little pebbles. It was childish in a way, like playing, yet done with a fierce determination. Alakazam mediated in the shadow of a tree as always. Ampharos came waddling over with excessive joy as usual, hugging Aydin who hugged her back with a laugh.
Theres a bell in the barn. Ring it. A few might need sheparding but they should come. Once they are eating, Ill take you to feed my Typhlosion. If he wants to eat. Aydin shrugged, sipping his drink. How are you feeling? He asked her with a smirk, swirling his cup idly in his hand. "Does it warm your tummy?" He asked, his eyes lingering there a moment. "Short term effect but useful for bouts of coming in and out of this cold."

Kaya paused with the dishes as his sweet smile fell with her question. A little pang smacked her guts. Had she been too forward? She knew it wasn't her business why Aydin needed her assistance with his Pokemon. A chill washed over her despite the warmth of the house, drink, and stew. She should have just kept her damn mouth shut. Kaya was on the verge of telling him to forget she asked before he finally spoke up. Relief washed over her and she managed a small grin. Maybe he was shy about his research, trying to live up to such renowned greats like Professors Oak and Elm. The jest at himself brought a small laugh to her as she continued on with the dishes. "Old...if you're old I'm a Togapei," she said through her light laughter. Kaya believed him, she had no reason not to.
Kaya watched out of the corner of her eye as he rose up and went for the bottle again, speaking offhandedly about his incomplete and messy research. By then she was laying out the dishes to dry. His silent offer made her stop again. She raised a hand and shook her head. "Maybe later, if they're as rowdy as you say they are I'd rather have a clear head. I'm not used to drinking," she said with another light laugh as she moved to follow him out to the barn. "Once you finish your research I'd be happy to be the first to read it," she added with a bright grin. While she knew basic facts about Pokemon she was a little awed he would delve so deep. She had been certain Aydin was a smart man but this was far more than she expected. Once he was done she was sure it would be as good, if not better, than the likes of Oak and Elm.
Once outside it was easy to see most of the Pokemon even as the sun was starting its decent over the mountains. Kaya shivered a little, it was already getting a little chill even with her sweater on. Her Pokemon lingered around as well, Lapras splashing about with the other water dwellers having made fast friends. Butterfree and Fearow perched together, quietly watching. Rapidash alone and aloof out in the field. Seeing her other Pokemon not making friends worried her a little. She had expected it from Rapidash but not Fearow and Butterfree. His mention of the bell made her head tilt and look to where he gestured. She blinked at the bell and couldn't help a small groan. "Would have been nice to know about earlier," she mumbled quietly. Kaya walked over to ring the bell but hesitated with his comments. She looked over, watching his look, and flushed a little. "Well....uh...I mean yes. But it's still kind of chilly out here," she said with a sheepish laugh. "Maybe I should have accepted more to keep this cold away."
She rang the bell and, as he said, the Pokemon seemed to understand it meant time for food. Her own Pokemon noted the behavior and followed the others. "Wow...well trained," she said with a small laugh before getting to work. With the newfound knowledge of the bell things went a little quicker except for the more stubborn ones. For the ones trapped in water she brought food out for them. "Here I was rounding them all up this morning, this is much easier," she said at the Pokemon happily ate their meals. Still, there was a lot of them and it would take a while, well into sunset. While the Pokemone munched happily away Kaya took a minute to stop and watch the play of color on the horizon. "Oh wow...how beautiful..." she said quietly as she watched the brilliant oranges, pinks, and reds dominate the austere presence of the mountains. "I always thought the sunset into the ocean was beautiful but...well this is really close...." A sharp wind kicked up, pulling and flying her purple hair around. Kaya shivered and rubbed her arms. Rapidash's head lifted and tilted at Kaya. She noticed the discomforting chill and plodded over to lend her warmth for a little
human
Therell be time. Aydin promised with a grin, when Kaya regretted in not having more. There really was no limitations to it. No one made the rules out here, except them. The bell rang loud and clear, drawing many of the Pokemon to the barn in expectation of feed. The evening meal was usually the largest and most varied for them. They all bunched around Aydin though, as was usual, but he directed them to Kaya who was now their primary caretaker. She diligently got their meals put out and Aydin helped when she went to deliver meals to those water Pokemon who could not move easily upon land.
He paused too when Kaya expressed her astonishment with the beauty of the sunsets out here. Aydin had grown used to them but he couldnt help but adore the way Kaya observed it all. She stared at the setting sun but he stared at the outline of her face, taking in the curves and angles of her features. Very beautiful indeed. Aydin said quietly, moving towards her. He had some impulse to wrap his arm about her shoulders.Or her waist. Instead, her Rapidash reached her first, sensing her cold, and that was an unspoken link between trainer and Pokemon that could be admired too. But that reminded him! It was time to meet his own best buddy and starter Pokemon.
Aydin allowed Kaya to observe the sunset a little longer while he prepared Typlosions plate. Spicy kebble, some greens, and slices of raw meat. He didnt bother cooking them anymore. The fire-Pokemon usually did it himself. Come on, its time to meet Typlosion. Bring Alakazamspudding. Aydin tried to add quietly but turning to look, he saw that Alakazam was watchingand had indeed heard. He knew it wasnt pudding but only yogurt and refused the meal, though he did snatch up the new spoon, discarding an old one. Alakazam then went to sit under his tree again, mediating furiously on his new utensil. They would have to try again in an hour or two with him.
Aydin walked Kaya over to the barrow that Typlosion made his den. Behind them followed a small group of admiring Pokemon as usual. Magneton and Nidorina, Ampharos, and any of Kayas Pokemon as well. But they stopped when the tall green grass around their anklebecame blackened crisps of blade and twig. Even the trees nearest to the barrow entrance were barren and the bark scorched. Heat radiated from the cave, almost to the point of negating the cold of the mountain. But the deadly beast within did not appear so. In fact they would find Typlosion lying flat on his stomach, arms limp at his side, with the flames on his back and tail dead. Around him was charred ashes and rocks. His golden-orange eyes watched the two humans as they entered. But his expression wasbored.
Hello, Ty. Aydin greeted, handing the platter of food to Kaya while Aydin walked over to Typlosion and patted his powerful shoulder. Still, Typlosion gave no response. He didnt even seemed interested in the food. Youre more than welcome to come out, you know. You missed a good scrap with a Gyrados and we have some new friends joining us. He pointed to Kaya, indicating she should bring the food over. This is Kaya Murasakino. She will be taking care of you-
That was when Typlosion sprang into action. The moment Kaya neared with the platter, Typlosion huffed and flames shot from its body. Loud, bright, and very hot. The entire barrow lit up. Aydin didnt react, merely shutting his eyes as he stood rigid in place and hoping he didnt get burned. But Typlosion was only being an asshole, trying to jump-scare the newcomer. The flames lasted only five seconds before they were extinguished. Typlosion remained flat on his belly throughout.
Now that wasnt very nice. Aydin said to the Pokemon. You apologize right this instant. He demanded but Typlosion merely dragged his long neck and face to look away from the entrance, towards the blackness of the cave. Stubborn too. Aydin crossed his arms and shook his head. You are still a child. A little Cyndaquil at heart. Thats you. Aydin chided, poking Typlosion in his side. The Pokemon didnt react.
Come on, Kaya. Aydin said, shaking his head again. Take the food. If hes hungry, he can come to us. Then well see! He warned, giving Typlosion a glare. The Pokemon was unconcerned with them completely.But if Rapidash even brought her presence near the cave, then Typlosion would take interest. Yes, there was a worthy adversary worth his time and effort

Kaya looked up as Rapidash sauntered over, laying her majestic head over Kaya's shoulders. With an appreciative sigh Kaya reached up and stroked Rapidash's muzzle, grateful for the added warmth of her loyal fiery horse. She glanced over at Aydin. She had seen him move over and worried he might try to pet Rapidash. Beautiful as she was she wasn't the most friendly to outsiders. While Aydin might be proficient with fire types it didn't exactly prevent him from being burned by her fires. Heck, she had even burned Kaya a time or two. Mostly by accident of course but when they had first met Kaya could barely touch Ponyta, let alone ride her. They enjoyed the sunset for just a little bit longer. The sky quickly to deep blues and purples as the sun sank well below the mountain and tree line. Kaya sighed happily at the sight, enjoying the moment with Aydin and their Pokemon.
Like all things it wasn't to last and Aydin suddenly walked away. Kaya turned to see what he was up to. A plate of an odd assortment: kibble, greens, and raw meat. Kaya blanched a little at the odd mix. What Pokemon ate raw meat? Though her curiosity was quickly answered as Aydin announce they were to visit Typhlosion. Kaya gave a nod at Aydin as he told her to grab Alakazam's 'pudding,' very careful to make sure to keep thinking of it as pudding. She walked with Aydin to bring Alakazam his 'pudding' but the Pokemon refused. Had he heard somehow? Maybe she hadn't concentrated enough or maybe he noticed the slip in Aydin's tongue. At least he seemed interested in a new spoon. Kaya couldn't help an amused laugh. One would think that food was food and at least he was able to eat.Well she did find that the more evolved Pokemon got the more stubborn. Much like old people.
Then they headed for the den. Kaya paused as the blackened grass crunched beneath her feet. Pikachu and Rapidash had been following but saw the other Pokemon hesitate. So they decided to stay back as well. Aydin moved on bold as brass, no need to be afraid of his own Pokemon no matter how ominous the den might seem. Kaya followed behind Aydin into the lair. Crisped and foreboding the sight of the massive, mighty Typhlosion just laying there was...strange. He looked incredibly bored, his fire completely out. Kaya couldn't say she knew much about the species but she wondered how much his flames indicated mood or health. Rapidash's flames grew when riled up, when racing faster and faster. Charmander's tail indicated its health. Though she could honestly say she didn't know much about the Johto type of fire Pokemon. Not nearly as well as the Kanto types. She felt strangely sad when looking at the bored Pokemon. Why did it just lay there?
Kaya took the plate of food from Aydin as he approached Typhlosion. She watched as he spoke to the Pokemon and got absolutely no reaction. Kaya's head tilted curiously. She hoped there wasn't something wrong with him. As Aydin introduced her she lifted her hand in a little wave of greeting as she approached. Though before she got near or Aydin finished a great gout of flame erupted from the fire Pokemon. Kaya was used to flames and stopped in her tracks, tossing her arm over her eyes. The heat was intense but not more than she could handle having been around Rapidash for so many years. Only momentary and the flames died down. Kaya could feel a little bead of sweat roll down her back from the sudden heat.
Aydin was quick to reprimand the Pokemon for his behavior, demanding her give an apology. Typhlosion was having none of it. Turning his great head to stare into the depths of his charred burrow. Kaya opened her mouth to say she didn't need one but snapped it shut as Aydin teased the Pokemon a little. A tiny Cyndaquil at heart. Maybe he was. Just sad he was so large and unable to be close to Aydin anymore. Kaya didn't know the Pokemon and couldn't begin to understand what it might be going through. Traveling around one moment and suddenly sedentary the next. Who knew really. Though when Aydin told her to take the food she blinked at him. "Are you...sure...? I mean...wouldn't he be hungry?" She asked as she looked over a Typhlosion with a concerned frown. While he was her boss and she should do what he ordered she didn't entirely fell right not leaving the Pokemon with food.
Brave, curious, stupid. Who knew what caused it. Rapidash, bold as can be, plodded up to the den entrance. Her head held high as she sniffed at the charred air. She had felt and heard the suddenly flames, wondering what caused them and if Kaya was alright. No tactics, she walked straight on towards the den entrance.
human
Aydin could not help but admire and respect Kayas resolve to stand so still and enduring in the face of Typhlosions intimidation. He supposed owning a Rapidash gave her some immunity to the harsh heats of fire-pokemon. Yet at her hesitating remarks on Typhlosion not getting his meal, Aydin let out a chuckle and simply shrugged it off. Discipline. Hell certainly be hungry. But he needs to learn he isnt so exceptional anymore and that he needs to eat with the rest of his family. He said pointedly, giving Typhlosion a very pointed glance. The Pokemon did not stir at the criticism at all. Aydin never followed through though. Typhlosion would emerge at his own time and Aydin would still feed him, simply because. He would always be special to Aydins heart, one that could not help but be spoiled and given exceptions to the norm.
But Typhlosion did slowly stir when another presence moved to the den entrance.
Aydin knew the look well enough and reached for Kayas wrist, trying to draw her back. Typhlosion. He warned softly but the gleam was in the pokemons yellow eyes as his head turned and saw the owner of that mighty presence; Rapidash. His paws balled into fists as he pressed them against the barren, merciless rocks, pushing himself up to his full height with a low growl as he postured himself more readily. Finally, a decent opponent who was worthy of his time! No flames sprouted from Typhlosion this time but the temperature in the cave definitely rose several degrees. The cool mountain air might seem refreshing against this heat wave.
Standing tall, Typlosion was nearly man-height with Aydin. His body was wrought with muscle, dancing under his fur with each little movement. I am pleased that you finally learned to stand in the presence of a lady. Wellladies. Aydin said to his Pokemon, looking back towards Rapidash near the barrow entrance. He had tugged Kaya close to him, their bodies brushing together, with his grip on her wrist still. Others were gathered just a little bit behind the horse-pokemon, watchful and anxious over the potential battle about to unfold. Typhlosion had long been King among Aydins Pokemon. Even Rhydon and Alakazam didnt lightly cross paths with him. But now there was a new challenger, one with flames and heat equal to his own. And flames did love to dance with one another.
And the pair of them were right in the middle of the two Pokemon. Yours is a toughie if she can arouse Typhlosion like that. Unfortunately this den will become hotter than a volcano crater if we dont stop them. And I like having eyebrows on my face you know. And Im sure you do as well. Aydin said to Kaya. One of the two Pokemon had to retreat then, which would be a sorry blow to their pride. He didnt like the idea but then again, this was Typhlosions burrow and they were trespassing in it. Only fair they all moved out. So he walked right up to his very tense and unhappy looking Pokemon, who looked ready to burst aflame and fight right there. The heats would be merciless. Losing their eyebrows would be the least of their problems if they got caught in the crossfire. But still, Aydin went right up to Typhlosion and put his hand on the Pokemons chest, feeling the white fur hot like it just came off the stove.
Well thank you for your polite welcome, Typhlosion. My friend Kaya is very pleased to make your acquaintance. We shall be going now. No need to show us the door. Aydin said, though Typhlosion never took his yellow eyes off of Rapidash. Come out into the sun too once in a while. Its good for your fur. And you need a bath. Aydin finished, the final remark enough to break through Typhlosions concentration. Perfect. Aydin turned and walked towards Kaya and Rapidash, hoping they could back out as well. Not all his Pokemon were well behaved, unfortunately.
Sorry about that. Aydin said with an apologetic smile to Kaya, once they were out of the cave. The mountain air was refreshing. Pokemon have the same vice of pride as us. Your Rapidash must be a Queen among her kind. Arent you? He said to the horse-pokemon next, reaching out to stroke her mane if she would let him. And if not, he would have a new blister on his hand, not the first and certainly not the last.
gpt
Kaya smiled a little sadly at Typhlosion. While this solitude was self imposed she couldn't imagine how she would feel if any of her Pokemon behaved like he did. Though she didn't have long to feel sad for the odd relationship. Typhlosion suddenly stirred, eyes fixated at the entrance of the cave. Kaya looked over to see Rapidash peeking in, curious about the heat and flames. She jumped when she felt Aydin's hand on her wrist, drawing her back and away as Typhlosion began to rise along with a sweltering heat in the cave. Kaya felt herself drawn right up against Aydin as Typhlosion stood to his full height. Well at least he didn't seem bored and mopey. Shame that it was suddenly combative.
Aydin's quips at Typhlosion seemed to fall on deaf ears as the temperature continued to rise. Kaya was a fan of warmth and heat but it was bordering on insufferable. She felt sweat beading along her brow and roll between her breasts. Kaya looked to the entrance and gave small gestures to try and get Rapidash to move away. Of course the sassy pokemon just tossed her head. Like she would run from a challenge. Rapidash didn't seem aware that the two humans were right in-between the two fire types. Aydin's jokes made Kaya give a forced, unamused grin. "I'd prefer that too." What a time for jokes. She was pressed close to Aydin but didn't entirely register it given their predicament. As Aydin moved and approached Typhlosion Kaya backed away somewhat. She gave a polite bow of appreciation for Typhlosions "hospitality" as she continued to move to Rapidash.
Outside of the sweltering den the cool breeze kissed her face and Kaya took a long, clear breath. She never thought she would be grateful for the cool breeze. "Don't be sorry. If miss Queen would have moved away it wouldn't have happened," she said with a stern look at Rapidash who tossed her head with an amused whinny. Kaya huffed a sigh but couldn't help but grin. She was a sweet, loyal friend for the most part but Aydin was right, she had her own swollen pride. Kaya was watching Rapidash and didn't even see Aydin reaching for her at first. "No wait!" She tried to stop him, lunging to grab his hand. Not quite quick enough, the flames singed him even as she snatched his wrist up, bumping into him, standing flush against his front as she held up his hand. Kaya froze a moment, her front pressed against his as she held his wrist. She took a slow breath and quickly moved back to examine his hand.
"Rapidash!" She rounded on the fiery horse. "That was not nice! We do not burn our friends." She scolded like a mother, complete with a hand on her hip and a shaking finger. Rapidash shook her mane and lowered her head at the scolding, an apologetic look taking over her face. "That's right young lady, you should be sorry. Go on...apologize." Rapidash looked over at Aydin. Her head lifted as she appraised him a moment before leaning over an snuffling against the side of his face and his ear. "Ok...and don't do that again...now go on." Kaya said with a little wave. Rapidash snorted and trotted away with a haughty flick of her tail. "Aydin I'm so sorry," she apologized as she turned back to him utterly forgetting formality in her embarrassed apology. "I suppose it comes with the territory with fire types huh?" She added with a wincing grin. "Come on, I'm pretty sure I have some burn heal," she said as she took his uninjured hand to take him back to the house. Her Pokemon had burned him so she would most certainly take care of him even if he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself.
Kaya took Aydin right to the house with Pikachu hot on their heels. "Here, sit," she said as she ushered him to sit at the table. Pikachu hopped up and sniffed at the burned hand. "Chaaaa," he murmured sadly and hopped away, quick to return with some candy to offer Aydin. Kaya came back with a can of burn heal, ice, and a clean cloth. Her touch was gentle as she lightly sprayed the burn with the medicine. Sadly it didn't work as well for humans as it did for Pokemon. She laid the cloth over and held ice on his hand, sitting a little close with her legs tucked under his chair. Kaya's features were a little pinched, frustrated and embarrassed that Rapidash would burn him like that. "I'm so sorry," she apologized again. "I just can't believe...well maybe I can...she's normally very sweet." She winced in her embarrassment once more, her fingers tightening around his hand.
human
If Rapidash was certainly a Queen then Aydin must have been a peasant touching her without permission or decorum. His palm didnt even reach the rich mane of the horse-pokemon before the flames manifested itself and lashed the inside of his hand. There was a loudhissfollowed by Aydins gasp of pain, pulling his hand back, shaking it even as pain boiled inwards. No, the flesh hadnt been burned too badly. Just a bright blistering, red and angry, all over his palm and halfway up his fingers, making them stiff. Trying to close into a fist became very painful. Still hissing, he stuck his hand between his legs and squeezed, as if to relieve the pain.
Kaya jumped at once to rebuke her pokemon. Its alright, its alright. He said to Kaya, trying to calm her down. Angry, she looked terrifying in a way, more so than a dozen ghost Pokemon all at once. Her voice was fierce, her posture absolutely majestic and authoritative. Its my fault, Kaya. I lectured Typhlosion to be respectful in the presence of a Lady yet here I am touching one without permission. He said with a nervous chuckle. Rapidash though had a lot more courtesy and manners than his own starter, before giving him a very wet kiss on his ear. It was ticklish and sloppy, making him now press his cheek down to his shoulder to dry up the wetness. Hand squeezed between his thighs, he looked quite ridiculous for a moment.
But that was a common endearment of scientists.How hot is it? Well lets touch it and find out!
He only smiled back at Kaya. it does come with the territory of raising fire pokemon. You think Id be used to burns having raised a fire pokemon myself. He chuckled, straightening his head and arm out, still shaking his hand from the blistering pain. It throbbed miserably. Youre wise for keeping them. He followed after her, flashing a smile to Rapidash. He didnt consider it to be her fault. Just a defense mechanism, that was all. He sat when commanded and showed the hand to Pikachu who leapt up to inspect. Exactly. He agreed with the electric-type, though he didnt know what he might be agreeing to. Nidorina hopped on the table behind him and pressed her front paws to his shoulder, sniffing his ear. Magneton of course, stoic and unfeeling, just hovered about without sympathy or care for his injured master.
Aydin laughed again at Kayas apologies and misgiving. No, no, dont blame yourself. In fact it could have been worse. He said, giving her hand to her. She could have burned me all over. Or turned and booted me with her hindlegs. Really though, I feel embarrassed. Im supposed to be a researcher of Pokemon and know their behavior. Still a lot of work to go on that. He said, looking into Kayas face as she sat across and worked n his hand. He wanted to tighten his own hand and squeeze it back around hers in encouragement and assurance. There was no reason for her to be sad! She was a perfect trainer. And beautiful too. And looking so closely to her face, it seemed all the more evident, her beauty and attractiveness. His eyes never left her face as she worked, smiling softly, eyes full of appreciation anddesire.
How they sat seemed very intimate. He sat on a chair, legs spread, while she sat between, her own legs under his chair. Every breath was an intake of her fragrance. The burn heal helped with the pain though and soon his fingers were twitching and moving closer into a fist with every passing moment. Nurse Joy would be jealous. He said in praise of her efforts. And even dared to reach out with his good hand andbrush some of her loose hair from her face. Her features were so determined. Do something for me? Aydin asked softly, his hand grazing down from her ear where he tucked some hair behind, coming under her chin and raising it to meet his eyes. Dont blame yourself, Kaya. Please? This was all me. Youll find I can be as foolish as my pokemon sometimes. Maybe they learned it from me. But you and your pokemon, you are all regal. And beautiful. He said, looking into her eyes with a smile brighter on his lips.
Thank you for this. He said, his hand moving from her cheek behind her neck, where he suddenly drew her face forward and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, before holding her close still and pressing his cheek to her brow in an embrace. All the pokemon around looked at them curiously.

Aydin was trying so hard to get her to stop being upset over the incident. Kaya couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed Rapidash would burn him. None of his Pokemon had tried to hurt her now here they were. While it was decently well known that Rapidashs were slow to trust and would burn anyone who got too close she hadn't had a problem with her Rapidash in a long time, not since she was a Ponyta. Kaya's lips pressed to a firm, hard line as Aydin tried valiantly to assuage her misgivings while she tended to his burnt hand. At least he could move his fingers a little already. While she stared pointedly at his hand, holding the ice, her lips twitched to a minuscule smile with his Nurse Joy comment. He was awfully sweet and trying to hard to make her feel better.
Kaya didn't see his hand move and jumped a little in surprise as she felt his warm digits graze across her face to tuck back her hair. The fine, delicate touch sent an exciting and uncomfortable jolt across her flesh. Though his wandering fingers didn't stop there and wound their way to her chin. Kaya obliged his touch and gentle question, her face lifted to look straight at him, guilt and worry still knitting her brow. Another near pleading for her to stop blaming herself for his injury. For a moment she considered possibly forgiving herself before her thoughts scattered. Regal and beautiful? Her ears filled with a buzzing at the comment and bright, disarming smile. A fine red dusting blossomed on her cheeks. Her body felt suddenly stiff but electrified, like being shocked by Pikachu. She couldn't resist as his hand slipped behind her neck and drew her close.
A gentle, chaste kiss on the forehead. The gently blushing turned to a furious shade of red, her ear burning as hot as Typhlosion's cave. Kaya blinked, still frozen, as he nestled his cheek against her suddenly scorching brow. Her heart tripled in pace as he just held her there. Not imprisoned, just an embrace. He was warm and she felt oddly comforted being held there. All at once Kaya relaxed with a small sigh and closed her eyes. She had to admit she rather enjoyed it. No! That was stupid! They had only just met, this was ridiculous! He was just trying to get her to stop worrying over the burn. Well he did kiss her, but it was just on the forehead. A simple gesture friends and family did plenty. Of course he did call her beautiful. But he was her boss! This was utterly inappropriate. Through each warring though her body tensed and relaxed at odd intervals. This was so wrong but it felt so nice! Why did it have to be so weird and confusing? This was ridiculous.
That image flashed through her head again and Kaya winced. Suddenly she sat back, putting some distance between them and released his hand. "Thank you...Aydin..." she stammered as she pushed herself to her feet. "I...uh...yeah, will have a talk with Rapidash tomorrow. She probably won't do it again. Yes. Uhm, don't leave the ice on too long ok?" Kaya turned and picked up Pikachu who had been staring with his head cocked curiously to the side. Humans were odd. "It's been...a very eventful day, maybe we should get some sleep. Goodnight," she said with a quick, stiff bow before scurrying off for bed, shutting the door a bit louder than she had intended. He might hear her back hit the closed door and the slow slide to the floor. Her face still on fire and her mind a storming whirlwind of excited confusion. "What am I doing Pikachu?" She asked the electric mouse quietly. Of course he had no answer but recognized the distress and nuzzled into her. Kaya sat on the floor, her back against the door, for a good while, gently stroking Pikachu's back.
Finally she hauled herself up and got ready for bed. Things would be clearer come the morning. As usual Rapidash posted herself outside of Kaya's room, the curtains thrown back to let the fire Pokemon's light shine in.
Kaya was up with the sun the next morning and got coffee going. She wasn't sure what to say when she saw Aydin. The sudden departure from the embrace and hasty goodnight wasn't exactly polite or graceful. So instead of even worrying about facing Aydin Kaya quickly downed a mug of coffee and rushed outside to start looking after the Pokemon. Things would clear up with time right? That seemed to make the most sense. Maybe it would be a decent day for a trip to town too. She still wanted to take Gyrados to the Pokemon Center before releasing him into the lake with the others.

With the speed Kaya burst out of the kitchen, Aydin realized he had overstepped. At once an icy grip of fear and anxiety gripped his body, unable to do nothing more but mournfully watch her flee. A stinging hollowness filled the void next and soon a raging sorrow, as he berated himself for getting too excited.Fool, what were you thinking?He should have left it well alone. He was her boss! Her employer! There were many lines that he crossed here and for what? A shot at love, affection, intimacy? There was a reason why he was out here. Not of his own choosing. Yet it did get lonely and solitary out here. Who wanted to live like that forever?
He had made his move though and of that he could be free of shame. But the result was still biting and hurtful. He sighed and slumped back in his chair and despite the presence of his pokemon, felt more alone. Night. He murmured, moments late, to no one in particular. The way she shut the door nearly made him wince. It was definitely over for them now. She would be gone by morning or the day and he would be back to square one.In any case, you tried.
Sleeping that night was a horrendous ordeal. He awoke late and groggy, still wracked by nervousness and regret. He should have left well alone on it! He dragged himself to his labours though. He showered, dressed, and was going to act like nothing ever happened. That would probably be best for all right? Talking about it would only bring up those feelings once again, leading to awkwardness. Let it slide, hopefully she forgave him, and all could continue as before. He would be stuck on the outside watching her, forlorn in his hope, always desiring, but his pokemon would have a caretaker who was attentive to them and his research could proceed at least. It was a sacrifice he could make. He didnt want to, but he had to. Instead he came downstairs and found Kaya already out and about, with coffee made for him. It looked as if she didnt even have breakfast! Had she fled already?
Looking outside though, he saw her at work. That was a good sign at least. But not talking to him? That was worse. He slugged around for a bit, making breakfast, hoping she might pop back in and be convinced to have a bite. She did not appear, though he left her a bun and some bacon under wraps should she ever find an appetite again. There was nothing he would do. He didnt want to bring his awkwardness out there around his pokemon. Who knew how they might react to his unsteady emotion. Aydin was glad only Magneton followed him around, the metal robotic-pokemon being unfeeling and stoic. Together, they went down into the cellar and he was able to bury himself in his work from dawn right until dusk. He thought his next experimental phase would go well. Something had to for him, or he might lose his mind.
Morning turned to noon and noon turned to dusk. Cloudy skies began to drift in, bringing darkness a little bit early. The pokemon, used to such weather changes, were unphased, and hyperactive around Kaya whom they enjoyed. For the first time in a while many would slumber feeling content and satisfied with exertions and activities. Aydin made no appearance from his lab. The data kept compiling erroneously. He knew it was a lack of focus from his awkward gesture with Kaya but he refused to give up, growing agitated as he reran the program over and over again and drank cold coffee (in a further effort to torture himself) as he watched it compile again and again. Nothing.
The time for dinner had passed. Aydin did not emerge. The pokemon would be well fed and restive. Kaya had the entire house to herself it seemed. A full twenty-hour period had passed since Aydin last saw her.Or any other human being.
But others saw them. And when the cover of night fell, they made their move. The trees to the north of the home, where none of Aydins pokemon wandered, is where they struck. The first sign? The ground began to rumble, followed by a gigantic explosion that rocked the foundations of the house even more. Despite the room shaking, Aydin paused with little twitch or reflex, staring at his cup of cold coffee, the liquid shaking. From the windows above, a very bright orange glow would soon shine in. A great patch of the treeswere aflame. Aydin came up, scratching his head in wonder.Had Typhlosion been bothered by a pack of Gravelers who dug right into his den?
No. Aydin looked out the window..and saw the shape of thePokemon among the burning wood. He recognized it immediately and who it belonged to. Without a word to anyone else, not even his own pokemon who could help him, he burst outside and stood, with the entire patch of the northern forest burning and lighting up the night sky. He wasnt worried about the pokemon. It wasntwild. It stared back at him, almost smirking in challenge. Aydin only gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, glaring into the blaze, waiting for its owner to reveal themselves.Xatu was perched above on the house, watchful as well.The hound-pokemon, invisible almost had it been dark, raised its head again and unleashed yet another fire blast. This one flew past Aydin and struck some of the trees nearer to the house, sending them alight.
Yet Aydin did not react or move. He would not be intimidated. Yet even now he could hear some frightened cries of his pokemon. For most, this one pokemon was out of their league. He knew there would be others. Strong trainers, who did not collect, but focused on a small, elite group to carry them through. He had to be smart about this
gpt
Foolish and childish. Even as Kaya fed the Pokemon she chided herself in her reactions; she wondered how she could face him again. Of course she would have to. She certainly didn't want to leave the ranch, that was downright silly. So unsure, so torn, so conflicted she had simply fled from Aydin. The Pokemon sensed something was amiss as she fed them in their designated group. While she was always kind and sweet to them there was an awkward stiffness in her motions. More often than not she would stop and groan, pinching the bridge of her nose. This was terrible. Eventually she got through the routine of feeding and went back into the house. Maybe she would run into him and could say something, anything. She didn't see him but noticed the bun he had left her. Kaya smiled at the bun and took it, heading back outside.
Noon came and went. Kaya played with the Pokemon, exercised them and took a lap around the property on Rapidash. Despite the light chill summer was well on its way. Honestly she couldn't wait for the waves of heat to roll across the mountains. As she managed to relax a few ideas of what to say wiggled their way into her mind but each one seemed stiff, in-genuine. Of course she at least wanted to apologize but she could barely put into words her own thoughts on the matter let alone try and convey them. Hell, she wondered if just outright kissing him would be explanation enough. No, that idea made her cringe a little too. No doubt she would end up botching it. Crack her teeth on his or something dumb. "Rapidash, what am I going to do?" She asked her faithful companion. The Pokemon had no answers for her though.
Clouds rolled in and Kaya went in to start on dinner. Maybe a decent meal would be apology enough. Still no sign of Aydin. Not for the first time she wondered where he disappeared to all day. Perhaps he had an office up in his bedroom. Her face flared with heat for a moment. Don't think about his bedroom. Right on the heels of that thought was the reminder of their encounter in the bathroom. Why were things so awkward and difficult? Kaya prepped some rice and stir-fry for their meal, leaving the rice to cook as she heated up oil and cut up strips of meat and vegetables. Maybe she was just being ridiculous and stupid, everything would turn out fine. Right? Right.
The ground rumbled, making the house shiver underfoot. Kaya froze at the tremors. Pikachu perked up. "Pika-pi!" He shouted, pointing at the window. At least Kaya had the forethought to shut off the burners before trotting to the window. A bright orange glow filled the trees. Another great tremor that nearly buckled her knees followed. Kaya didn't know what was going on but the Pokemon were out there. "Come on Pikachu!" She called and bolted out the door. Pikachu gave chase and a mighty leap onto her shoulder. The forest was aflame. Deep in the burning flames a dark shape manifested. Kaya's breath caught. Sudden heavy steps alerted her to Aydin's appearance. Every care and worry that had plagued her mind the day was wiped away as the hellish looking Pokemon emerged.
The sudden fireball yanked a startled shout out of Kaya. The flames bursting against trees uncomfortably close to the house. Unbidden her hand reached out and took hold of Aydin's arm. A comforting and grounding measure. She didn't know what was going on but could feel how tense Aydin was. Distantly she could hear the frightened cries of the Pokemon. She wasn't called but Rapidash galloped up to their side, tossing her head and stomping her hooves in warning and challenge. They could really use the aid of the water Pokemon. A shame that her strongest couldn't fight well on land. Butterfree and Fearrow wouldn't be much use against a powerful fire type. All she could use was Rapidash and Pikachu. "Is it...wild...?" She asked Aydin. A foolish question. Why would a trained Pokemon show up just to burn down the forest? "Pikachu and Rapidash should be able to handle it..." she said with only a small note of apprehension. What about Typhlosion? Though with all those fire types battling they might completely burn down the forest

Aydin was so focused on the coming threat he had nearly forgotten about Kaya, nearly jumping at the unexpectedness of her words. What are you doing here? He snapped instead, looking concerned. You need to find cover. This is going to be dangerous. No, its not wild Aydin said, turning back to face the Houndoom in the woods, fire jutting from between its sharp, snarling teeth.He recognized the Pokemon, who it was, who it belonged to.Behind him, Rhydon and Alakazam were making their way over. Dragonair watched them not twenty feet away by the shoreline, while other water pokemon crowded by the shore with some other ones. Magneton hovered over, always by Aydins shoulder. Raticate, Arbok, Jolteon and Wartortle also joined him. They were always ready for a fight.
This isnt your fight, Kaya- Aydin began to say, until womanish laughter rang through the woods. There came a tremendous sound of wood cracking and suddenly a great tree in front of Aydin began to fall over, landing with a crash. Upon the stump was too figures shrouded in black.
Shit, not now and why here?!Aydin thought, balling his hands into fists. He felt a cold shrill when he heard the laugh. Then camethe words.Prepare for trouble!The woman declared, the fires illuminating her. Golden hair fell in tresses around her shoulder, while a black cap was situated on her head. She had wide blue eyes and a smirking expression. She was dressed in black, a top emblazoned proudly with a redR, and her fine abdomen on display through a midriff gap in her shirt. The other was male, also in black, long sleeved, with white boots and gloves. His cap hung low over one eye, the other alight with the cold gleam of battle.Make it double.He added after the girl.
To protect the world from devastation.The woman stated.To unite all peoples within our nation.The male said.To denounce the evils of truth and love!The girl said, with a particular emphasis on the wordlove. To extend our reach to the stars above! The male added, pointing a long arm to the night sky in a poetic gesture.
Cossette. The blonde girl announced herself.
Cedric! The male introduced himself.
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! Surrender now, or prepare to fight!They said in unison.
Mime! Exclaimed Mr. Mime who leapt in front of them.A very powerful psychic pokemon.The Houndoom was in front of Cedric, while he was flanked by a Bayleef and Nidoking. In front of Cossette was the Mr. Mime, a Scizor, and a Gengar. They all looked ready for a fight. The battle lines were drawn but Aydin stepped forward, unbuttoning and rolling up his sleeves.
What the hell do you two want? He demanded of them.
You know exactly what we want,Aydin. Cossette sneered at him. Her confidence was lost, replaced by a cold anger. But Cedric kept his cool, smirking all the while.
Give up, Aydin. You know you cant win. Cedric warned him.
Oh, give me a break. Aydin threw up his hands. Youre both hopefully outnumbered and outmatched. I dont got time for this. Find a rake and fix that grass you just upset. He said dismissively and he turned to go, intent on taking Kaya with him. This wasnt worth his time.
Mime! Cossettes Mr. Mime said, waving his hands. Aydinwalked flat into an invisible wall, smacking his face and stumbling back. He held his nose, stinging with pain.
Someone needs new glasses. Cossette stated.
Aydin growled and turned back around. You want a fight then eh? Alright then. He said, still intent on it being his fight. Kaya, go inside. Go and find Ampharos too. I need her. He urged her quickly. Ampharos, tough and steady as she was, was in a complete state of chaos from all the fire and explosion, running in circles and waving her arms. She needed guidance only and would fight if necessary. Aydin would need her. For now though, he had ample Pokemon.
Cossette and Cedric both chuckled. Get em, boys! Cedric said and all the present Pokemon jumped to battle. At first it seemed an equal match. Dragonair shot a hyperbeam at Mr. Mime, who blocked it with another mirror wall. Nidoking and Rhydon clashed into each other like sumo wrestlers. Jolteon fired an electric shock, backed by Arboks poison sting, towards Houndoom who leapt aside far quicker. Alakazam using his psychic powers shredded a whole tree of twig, branch, and leaf, uprooting it from the ground and launching it at Gengar. The ghost pokemons eyes glowedand stopped the tree midair. It was immediately blasted out of the air when Bayleef launched razor sharp leaves through the air. Wartortle took cover in his shell but Raticate was not so lucky, knocked aside from the attack. Magneton came rippling with electricity but Scizor flashed in front of him, driving Magneton back.
Then it went downhill. All of Cedric and Cossettes pokemon switched targets.
Scizor was first, using a double-team attack to create a mirror image which distracted Magneton. He appeared immediately behind Arbok, knocking the snake down with several fury swipes to its back. That allowed Houndoom to fire a flamethrower at Rhydon, who had to turn to block it. Before Jolteon could move to back up the rock pokemon, Nidoking stomped his foot and a spear of rock burst out of the ground, striking the electric-pokemon doubly as hard. Wartortle tried to blast Nidoking in his moment of weakness but Gengar was behind him. No one saw what happened but Wartortle fell over, paralyzed and dumb struck. Bayleef and Nidoking both faced off against Alakazam, who fell back. Dragonair tried to intervene with another blast, but it was weakened, coming so soon after the first, and it was easy for Houndoom and Mr. Mime to cancel out that attack by themselves.
And now it was four against six. Magneton, Rhydon, Alakazam rallied around Aydin.Typhlosion, his best, was nowhere to be seen.He could really use Ampharos too about now. And his mothers Xatu watched unmoved and passive from top of the house. He had to think of others too! Dragonair, save the others. Use your watergun! Aydin said to her, but Cossette and Cedric just laughed.
So much for numbers. Its quality, not quantity my friend. Cedric said.
Ill show you- Aydin began to say, taking a step forward.
Careful! Cossette warned and smack on, Aydin walked into another invisible mirror wall set by her Mr. Mime. He staggered back again, clutching his face in pain. That was really starting to hurt.
gpt
The shrill, echoing laugh caught all attention to the dark figures appearing from smoke and flame. Kaya tensed as the pair revealed and began in a painful, familiar duet. Her blood ran cold, blood drained from her face as that pitiful poem echoed across the grass. Team Rocket. Why were they even there? To steal Pokemon of course. Stark, painful memories flooded back. Kaya notably cringed at the mere presence of the vile thieves. Distantly she could hear Aydin shouting at them and the pair responding but the words were lost. Everything sounded somehow faint, her vision dark and blurred. All she could think of, hear, smell, feel was the darkness of a cave and the crushing loneliness of loss and defeat. Fury and fear warred sending an odd, hot trill through her body. Her chest felt tight and her throat hot. She wanted to cry and scream, a violence she hadn't known before took hold. Cry, scream, rage, punch, anything to stop the whirling war in her head.
Aydin's voice calling her name snapped her out of it, if only a little. Enough to grasp he wanted her somehow out of the way, out of the fight, but to go find Ampharos. "Ampharos...?" She echoed back momentarily puzzled. Her head shook a little, had to think clearer. Kaya looked around for the Pokemon, seeing her running about in surprised terror. Had to take care of the Pokemon. She managed a short, sharp nod and ran off for the electric Pokemon as the battle broke out behind her. The sound would be terrifying, the clash of powerful titans, for the uninitiated. Kaya glanced back as the Pokemon waged war on one another. For a brief moment the fight seemed even. Satisfied she kicked up her feet and ran as quickly as she could to Ampharos.
"Hey...hey now..." she called out gently. It wasn't working, the electric type was in a state of pure panic. Kaya reached out and caught one of the stubby little arms; she received a jolting shock for her efforts. She yelped some but hung on. The Pokemon seemed to recognize the sound and at least stopped shocking her and running about. "Yeah...that's it. Everything's ok," she said with a forced grin, her hair standing a little on edge. "Aydin...Aydin needs you now. Your friends need you." Kaya looked back at the fight. Tides had turned. Aydin's Pokemon weren't fairing well all of a sudden. Her breath caught in her chest. At least Alakazam was there but where was Typhlosion? His first and his strongest. "Come on now, let's get in there." Fuck league rules. When it came to Team Rocket rules no longer applied.
As Kaya shepherded Ampharos over her own Pokemon appeared. Rapidash, Pikachu, Butterfree, and Fearrow had all come. Fuck rules. "Butterfree, Fearrow, use gust and sand attack!" The two flapped their wings, kicking up dust and sand into a whirling screen. Rapidash and Pikachu leapt into the screen to join in on the fight. Kaya gave Ampharos a gentle push towards Aydin to guide her into the fight while Kaya turned on her heel and disappeared into the whirling cloud of dust. The violence and fury caught up with her. She wasn't much of a fighter, not like Koichi from the Saffron Dojo, but she was angry enough.
Kaya sprinted out of the rolling wind and dust cloud and right as Cossette. She took the crook by surprise and pushed all of her weight into her fist. Her knuckles connected with the girl's exposed stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Except Kaya pushed too much force into the punch and sent them both reeling and tumbling to the ground. Cossette recovered quickly, despite the ache in her gut she had at least not gotten the wind knocked out of her. What ensued was a more viscious catfight than between two Persians fighting over a Rattata toy. Hanks of hair were grabbed and pulled. Fists flew but were clumsy at best. The two women whirled and tumbled together, profanities were shrieked into the smokey night sky. The dust storm cleared as the two flying types heard the fury and distress of their trainer letting all present witness the fury of two women.
Shrieks of fury and pain filled the night air as they writhed and tumbled, trying to get in hits or simply rip out hair. The sound of clothing being rent on rocks or caught between the two joined in the cacophony. Every possible derogatory word for woman kind was screamed as they rolled and tumbled together. Kaya threw every ounce of hate for the organization into her attacks on Cossette which, unfortunately, weren't that great. Mostly she just wanted to hurt the woman as much as possible. It made her feel better. Better about the past, better about the present. Nothing shy of divine intervention would stop the whirl of violence Kaya had unleashed
human
Aydin was starting to get real annoyed. The snickers of the Team Rocket duo fluttered all around to him as he straightened up, one hand still over his face, his glasses a little lopsided on his face. Was he bleeding? It felt like it but there was none. Getting hit on the nose, twice, was extremely painful though. He had his Pokemon behind him, Magneton, Rhydon, Alakazam, with Ampharos waving her stubby arms as she began to approach them. So Kaya did her job! He just hoped she could get to safety with the others. This was going to be a vicious battle.
Just as he was about to give the command to attack however, tremendous winds came screaming through, along with a storm of dust and dirt that shrouded everything.Another Team Rocket trick?Rhydon, Ampharos, Alakazam, stand back to back! Cover each other! Magneton, get high above, use your Lock On move, locate where they are in this storm! Aydin ordered, holding a sleeve over his mouth so he didnt get a mouth full of dust. Magneton took off high into the scream, before it was set upon by a hail of razor sharp leaves! Magneton avoided them and Aydin saw Cedric emerge from the dust, along with his Houndoom and Bayleef. Then Nidoking behind him, holding a very large slab of rock.
Which the pokemon proceeded to fling at Aydin.
Alakazam used his psychic powers to fling his master aside, while Rhydon stepped forward and caught the huge boulder, before crushing it into several smaller rocks and pebbles in his claws. Ampharos, alerted then by Magneton through some electro-magnetic wave, gave a shriek before unleashing thunderous bolts in all directions in the sandstorm. One bounced harmlessly off Nidokings exterior, the rock pokemon mostly immune to it, and Houndoom nimbly leapt aside to dodge. But Cedrics Bayleef got hit full on, crying out in pain as it got shocked and collapsed. Aydin grinned from where he lay on the grass.
Cedric gritted his teeth. They told him Aydin was good. Houndoom, fire blast!
Alakazam, psybeam! Aydin called out. The two forces blew apart rifts in the sandstorm and struck each other, causing a tremendous purplish explosion that swept over all. Houndoom, quick as ever, was already on the move and at Alakazams flank, ready to unleash another. But to no avail. The fire blast went right through Alakazam, who left a decoy duplicate image of himself. Ampharos was alerted again by Magneton and sent forth another thunder bolt but the Houndoom escaped it. God, what were they feeding that hound? As for Alakazam though, he landed himself in a bind as Cossettes Gengar was waiting for him. Aydin could hear his Alakazam cry out, struggling against Gengar who got the drop on him, but Aydin couldnt see any of it. Where had this dust storm come from?
And then there was the Scizor, even faster than the Houndoom. With Alakazam out of the trio, Scizor appeared behind Rhydon and Ampharos, hitting them both with a series of fury swipes. Damnit, he was outmatched here! Bayleef reappeared, catching Ampharos in a bind of vines, but Ampahros began to flail so massively the grass-pokemon struggled to even keep hold. Rhydon, faced by Houndoom and Scizor, looked troubled. But then all Pokemon seemed to pause, as a new sound came over the winds. Even Cedric looked puzzled. And then Aydin heard it too.
It sounded like two cats ripping into each other. And as the dust began to settle, a grotesque shape became visible in the new light. No, it wasnt a grotesque shape of some new, strange Pokemon. It was two womenengaged in a horrific fight of slapping, hair pulling, and all sorts of dirty tricks. The jaws of the men both dropped as they just watched. Helpless. And amazed.
This wasnt how one settled their disputes! Even Cossettes powerful Mr. Mime was in a panic, holding his head with his gloved hands, jumping from one foot to the other. Aydin and Cedric exchanged a glance, then ran to the two women. Unfortunately, Aydin caught someones elbow under his jaw but he managed to pull Kaya off of Cossette, while Cedric did the same. Cossette immediately shoved Cedric off, heaving with fury, her blonde hair all disheveled over her face. She brought a hand up to sweep it back behind her head, only to find some of her strands loosein her hand. Her blue eyes went wide with shock. Youlittleharpy! You know how many perms I had to sit through at the salon! Ill kill you! She hissed murderously at Kaya. All of Cossettes pokemon jumped to her side, though they were more terrified of Cossettes temper tantrum over her once flawless hair than the actual battle. It was giving all sides a chance to recover.
But almost every male, human or pokemon, felt uneasy at the sight of the two women clawing each other half to death.
I cant be seen like this! Cossette wailed vainly. Ill get you for this Aydin. You and thatruthless bitch! How dare you-! Cedric tried to offer an encouraging remark but she slapped him off, turning around to storm off, stomping her feet, gripping her torn hair in one hand.
Youll pay for this...uhAydin. Cedric said with a warning point of his finger.
Ive paid for enough of her permsAydin thought bitterly. Dont come around here again if you know whats good for you. He threatened back, one of his arms looped around Kayas waist to hold her back.
Ill show you whats good for you! Cedric snapped.
Good. Ill show you too! Aydin said. Cedric followed after Cossette, their pokemon glaring before following. Burning trees and small clouds of dust still hovered about. A few water pokemon were pre-emptively soaking the outside of the house to keep it from burning. Fires raged around Typhlosions barrow. The pokemon did not seemed concerned at all to even come out and check. If anyone tried to follow Team Rocket, they would run smack into an invisible wall left by Mr. Mime.
Well that wassomething. Aydin said to Kaya, releasing her. A fiery tree tipped over and crashed nearby. Nothing to do about that. The forest of course would heal itself over time. The wild pokemon had much fiercer battles by themselves. You must have had training as a Pokemon yourself. Are you a Ditto in disguise? Where did you learn to fight like that? And why? Aydin asked, gripping Kaya by her shoulders. He never seen such fire, or even expected it, in Kaya to begin with. You cant just murder Team Rocket. I know theyre evil but killing them makes you no better.
gpt
Kaya was no Pokemon, no fighting master but she was angry. Beyond furious and determined to cause as much physical pain as possible. At least as much as the emotional pain they'd once made. Not once, every time she looked at Gloom she felt it welling again. She had never felt such blood lust coursing her veins. Maiming or murder she didn't care. She screeched right back at Cossette as the two tumbled together. Neither was fully aware of anything else happening. Cossette just trying to fight back and defend herself. Kaya felt her elbow connect with something but ignored it. She gave one more yank at Cossette's hair before she was bodily pulled off.
Kaya struggled against the force pulling her away from her target. Though she settled down as she saw the damage she had inflicted. Cossette's hair was a frizzing mess, her lip bleeding, scratches on her cheek oozed freely, a large and fresh bruise blooming on her bared stomach. With her blood settling down Kaya could feel the aches and stings from her own injuries. Her lip was also split, her nose leaking blood from the right nostril, her left eye hurt like hell and was a little swollen, certain to be a shiny bruise by morning. While her hair was straight as a pin it was tangled and dishelved, strands of it sticking to the blood on her cheek from scratching. Her ribs ached too, likely bruised, and her elbow from whatever she had hit.
Cossette's shrieking curses just made Kaya grin, an almost insane look given her bruised and bloodied face. Her own Pokemon responded, lining up nearby, uneasy but ready to fight again if necessary. Rapidash had an odd, almost amused gleam in her amber eyes, tossing her head approvingly. "Shame to waste all that salon money on a grimer like you," Kaya hissed back at Cossette. Their little threats were nothing though rather than go on Cossette marched off in righteous fury and indignation. Kaya stepped forward with a little growl, all too ready for a second round, but felt an arm encircle her waist. She glanced back and looked up at Aydin as he held her back, tossing his own warning against their return.
The crackling of the burning forest and the steady stream of the water pokemon slowly seeped into her head. Kaya could hear normally again, feel normally. Her heart didn't pound so hard and her breathing as settling back to normal. Aydin released her and she looked around at the devastation the Houndoom had wreaked on the forest. Aydin's comments focused her attentions on him and she turned as he lightly accused her of being a Ditto in disguise. She grinned and quietly laughed at the quip. His questions, though, she wasn't certain how to answer but his short, single sentence lecture set a small frown on her face.
"Team Rocket is the worst and they deserve nothing less," she said with more poison than an Arbok. "I don't know how to fight....I just...wanted to hurt her. Hurt her more than..." Kaya's body tensed, a hand reaching up to lay over his as he held her shoulders. "Team Rocket took my Charmander when I was just starting my training." She said as she glared down at their feet. In their glow of the fire her face burned a dark, furious red. "Gloom, Oddish at the time, tried to help fight back but...we were all too weak...I know fighting like that isn't in regulations but nothing they do is!" Kaya finally looked back up at Aydin, hot angry tears mixing with the blood on her face. "They're evil and I hate all of them! I don't care if it's wrong they deserve it! Using Pokemon for crime, stealing Pokemon, they're disgusting and vile! Besides I wasn't going to kill her, just punch her until I felt better."
human
He honestly did not know what had come over Kaya. Even her body seemed to burn hot, more so than the forest around, at her desire for fury and fists. The pokemon, so used to fighting on their trainers behalf, had probably never witnessed a trainer and another actually fighting themselves. Even Aydin was a little confused. And somewhat terrified of Kayas strength himself.Because after all, he was not innocent himself.She did not truly understand what had happened here. And after hearing her reasons why she fought so violently, Aydin was a little more worried for his own health. He knew certain elements of Team Rocket were not above such petty things like theft and stealing. But overall, they did whatever was necessary for the furthering of their goals, right or wrong.
But when he saw the tears welling up in her face, stung no doubt by the memory of the loss of her Charmander, Aydin could think of nothing else but making Kaya happy. He turned her to face him, hands on her shoulders, looking with his own frown into her face. Of all the dangers inherent to this place, I should have known to mention Team Rocket. I am sorry for what happened to you, to your Charmander. You had every right to lash out for what they did. I am sorry you couldnt land even more punches. Evidently it was not enough to make you feel better, eh? Aydin said, offering her a slight smile, reaching up to cup her cheek and caress it gently.
With the burning fire and the mist of water, it cast a surreal sensation about them. Just two trainers, in the midst of ruin and destruction.
Kaya, he said softly into her face, you were beautiful out there though. Very brave to rush into smoke and fire like that. You deserve all the loyalty and love from your pokemon if you fight that fiercely for them, rather than letting them fight for you. That is very admirable. Commendable. Aydin chuckled lightly. His hand was still on her cheek, his thumb caressing just beneath her lower lip. Before he knew it, he could not help himself. Aydin leaned forward and put another kiss upon her lips. Nothing else seemed to matter. Not the forest. Not the pokemon. Not the brazen attack or Team Rocket.Or even his own secret.All he knew in that moment was his attraction and desire for Kaya Murasakino, a kind hearted and fiercely compassionate woman. A beautiful woman. A beautiful trainer. He kissed her and drew closer to bring her into a tighter embrace, his body pressing to hers.
gpt
No, those few punches did not make her feel much better. The concern on Aydins face, however, was doing a passable job. Kaya hadnt meant to blurt all of that out and cry like a little girl over it. She was just overwhelmed by everything. Even if he had mentioned the possible presence of Team Rocket she would never have been prepared to encounter them. She thought she had been over it. As much as one could be over having a beloved partner kidnapped. Clearly it was something she hadnt managed to work through or fully get over, even with her amazing team. Aydins attempt at comfort and the tiny smile at least made the tears stop flowing and she managed an equally tiny smile back. Though when his hand reached up to caress her cheek she froze up and blinked up at him. His hand was warm and soothing against her skin. Perhaps hard to see in the semi-dark her face took on a faint flush and she glanced away briefly, very suddenly reminded of the previous night.
Her name on his tongue, spoken so softly and gently, brought her gaze back to him. His compliments and praise just deepened the flush, her cheeks and ears suddenly set ablaze. She didnt think anything she did was particularly commendable. He had been right: she had acted like a thug. Even still the guilt of having Charmander kidnapped burned in her and she would do anything to prevent a Pokemon getting stolen ever again. Distracted enough she didnt register Aydin leaning in close, the delicate movement of his thumb below her lips. Only at the last moment, when his face was close enough she could see speckles of dust on his glasses, did she realize what he was doing.
Kaya went utterly still, her eyes wide in surprise as Aydins lips graced her own. Breath halted as she stared forward in her shock. Yet it only took a moment for her surprise to dissolve. She struggled to admit to herself before that she was attracted to him, far more than she should be. Scolded herself for thinking of her boss in such a manner. None of it surface as she melted against him. Her hands relaxed, one sliding down to rest on his hip while the other journeyed up to lay against his neck. Amethyst eyes shuttered as she returned the sweet, lingering kiss.
Time had a strange way of pausing and speeding up. It seemed to stand still for them. The crackling burn and steamy hiss of the burning forest being extinguished by the Pokemon softened to silence. All she could hear was the steady, hard thrumming of her heart. Slowly Kaya backed out of the kiss, eyes fluttering open to look up at Aydin. Words froze on her tongue. Time sped back up, the sound of contained destruction returned. Her gaze was a little distant, with a wistful smile on her lips. Then her eyes focused in and she noted the blood on his lips. Kaya gave a small, sheepish, laugh and reached up to wipe the blood off with her thumb.
Maybewe should make sure the Pokemon are okand get cleaned up? She suggested. Though given her steady grip on his hip and her hand against his jaw spoke volumes different than her words.
human
Again, Aydin could not explain what had come over him. Never mind the blood on her lips, which he tasted as he engulfed hers. There was nothing in the world that could dare impede the fulfillment of his desire and attraction in that moment. It felt like he was standing on the edge of ruin and world devastation, though in his mind he knew it would turn out okay. It was just him and Kaya in his thoughts. And the taste of her lips. Anxiety coursed through him, half-thinking she might push him back and once again flee in awkwardness, rejection, or disgust. Each terrified him. Yet the fears were hardly remembered in the next moment when she returned the kiss, her hands moving onto his own body.
Employer. Boss. None of that mattered. They had stood and fought together against a common foe. They joined as one, their bodies molded, his chest to hers, as if to join their beating hearts. Nothing else filtered into his thoughts. The spell broke when Kaya finally drew back, a look upon her face that Aydin found adorable as his own eyes peered open. In just that look, a lifetime seemed to fly by. Yet it was too short. Her hand came up, wiping unseen blood on his lips, laughing her pretty laugh. Her words finally shattered his dream, bringing him back to reality.
Burning bush. Crackling wood. And his pokemon either huddling together in safety or the water-types in teams as they combatted the flames, securing his home. They deserved his love and loyalty too. Despite Kayas suggestion, she didnt seem eager to break into it. And Aydin was glad for it, for he felt the same way. They, and the forest, have endured it before. They will be alright. He said, looking around to do a quick check himself. No serious injuries. Nothing that needed potions or full revives. A trip to the Pokemon Center in Silvertown could handle it.
Some of the Pokemon were even stalking back to their usual haunts. Alakazam into the forest, unbothered by the fact his tree was a burnt cinder. Rhydon into the ridge side, back to his stones. Ampharos stood behind the water-pokemon, silently panicking despite their successful efforts. The goofballs were fine. Taking Kayas hands in his own, holding one, he slowly started to lead her back to the house. First walking backwards, as he did not wish to take his eyes off of her, their conjoined arms swinging listlessly. But soon an urgency was on him for some strange reason and a haste came into his step even as they got to the door. He brought her inside, kissed her cheek and bid her sit on a couch while he found a wet cloth.
He joined her on the couch, intimately closer, one hand snaking behind her neck to hold her steady, fingernails grazing softly over her skin, while his other hand wiped around her lips. It was humorous to think of her as needing aid, not after the punches she had thrown. Once he was done with her face, he leaned forward to share another kiss, long, but chaste. A press of lips to lips. A kiss of gratitude.
Then he took her hands and looked at her knuckles, bloodied and bruising. How very unladylike. He joked, looking back to her eyes with a teasing gleam in his own. I have regular, human potion in my room. And otherpainkillers beside. Aydin said pointedly, never losing his smile. Then he stood, still holding her hands. Come with me. He asked her, an invite, asking for her consent, for he still knew she could just as easily turn and withdraw from this. He wanted her to feel safe about, secure in the knowledge she wasnt doing anything wrong.
But if she came with him, upstairs, both their lives would be undoubtedly changed forever.

While Kaya wasn't entirely ready to let go of Aydin she knew there were other duties. Her words were quickly dismissed. Aydin was confident of the surrounding forest and the Pokemon. That didn't entirely stop him from looking up and having a quick look around himself. Kaya still hadn't let go, though her hand on his jaw dropped to rest on the other side of his hip. She glanced around as well, the world around them growing darker as the water types extinguished the flames. A nervous shiver raced through her, hands a little tighter on Aydin's hips. At least the Pokemon all seemed alright. Her own had settled with the others, Lapras aiding in the last of the extinguishing efforts.
All seemed well. Aydin shifted, peeling her hands off his hips, and led her to the house. She smiled at him in the quickly encroaching darkness, wrapping her fingers around his as they headed in. First at a leisurely pace, unable to keep foolish grins off their pace, arms joined and swinging listlessly. Then something took over Aydin, his pace increased to a near jog to the house. Honestly Kaya was alright with that. Never mind the strange, giddy excitement bubbling up in her chest she was ready to get back to a well lit home. Kaya couldn't wipe the face splitting grin off her face, certainly not with the gentle kiss to her cheek. She obliged him and moved to the couch as he fetched a wet cloth.
Despite the last few minutes she jumped a little as he sat so close. Her heart thrummed against her chest as his hand snaked around the back of her neck. A trill raced down her spine with the light scraping of his nail on her flesh. She held still for him, hands resting on his leg, as he gently cleaned the blood off her face. His touch was so deft, so gentle, she barely winced. Luckily the active bleeding had stopped from her nose and lip. Kaya's chest tightened as every corner of her body seemed to fill with a nervous excitement. Only made worse when the cloth was set aside and he leaned in to task her lips again. Her heart gave a stuttering thud at the contact though she was far quicker to return the affections.
Aydin pulled away first to examine her bruised and bloodied knuckles. They would probably be worse if she actually knew how to throw a punch. His joke brought out a soft laugh. "Don't know the meaning of the word," she quipped back with a bright grin. His offer of potions and painkillers, conveniently in his room, was both tempting and worrying. Kaya was certain she knew what following him there meant. A certain dynamic change to the order of things. She sat for a moment, her hands resting in his as he held up, the offer lingering in the quiet space between them. No demands, no force, not coercion. A gentle invitation, leaving all of the cards in her hands.
Kaya gave a sharp nod and stood up, her fingers intertwining with his. "Alright," she said as the excited yet bordering shy little grin bloomed across her face. She followed him up the stairs, past the bathroom where their first awkward encounter happened. Past the threshold of his room. Once the door was closed Kaya gripped his hands tightly and drew him close. She tipped up on her toes to take the charge and pressed her lips to his. Not nearly as gentle or chaste as before. She wanted him to know her interest, her desire. Leave nothing unknown or unclear. Though the kiss didn't linger. She pulled back with a tiny nip of his lower lip, dropping back down to flat feet.
human
His heart must have skipped a beat given the way it began to race up, as if it had lost ground to make up for. Aydin could hardly believe his ears when they reported Kayas affirmative to come up, to his room, further into the bosom of a budding intimacy. There was no escaping. Not as he took her hand and led her up the stairs, past the bathroom where she had once seen him in all his glory, and past the oak door that led into his own bedchambers. It was a decent sized room, the largest in the house outside of the main living room, with a bed tucked in the corner, a wide window taking up nearly the whole wall, with smooth counters and a walk-in closet, containing all his apparel and garb. Bookshelves, a desk, and all the other amenities of male life. It was tidy, studious, and yet comfortable. It fit perfectly with who Aydin was, reserved, and yet full of depths yet undiscovered.
And before he even had a chance to look where he kept his medical supplies, for human use, Kaya grabbed him and turned her. He barely had time to register just how much strength she had concealed in her unimposing female form, as her lips were immediately thrust to his. She could barely reach with her height, leaning up, and his arms wrapped around her to support this gesture, holding her by her sides. They were such wonderful sides to touch. Briefly she kissed and then leaned back, Aydin smiling and a little flustered as the kiss seemed to wipe his memory, making him forget why he had even come up here.Why bother at all with that? Kiss her more?
His hand came out and stroked the side of her face, resting on her cheek, before he returned the favor and leaned down to kiss her in turn, deeply, with his tongue thrusting into her mouth. He enjoyed a dance and a taste of her cavern, before he released her. That debt was paid.
Your hands. He could only manage to whisper, trying to affirm within himself that there was a reason for this, despite being a thin veneer of an excuse. Aydin again took her by her hands and led her to the edge of his bed, where he had her sit. As he turned, he began to take off his sweater vest and undo the buttons at the top of his collared shirt. Boy did it feel a lot hotter in here, despite the walls protecting them from the dying embers of the fire outside. He found what he needed, some healing salves and a cloth, before returning to Kayas side, smiling at her. He quickly leaned over and planted a kiss, half a bite, on her neck. Dont look so cute. Now give me your hands. Aydin said to her, with a much more firmer tone.As if he could really command her what to do now.
He took one of her hands and placed it gently in his lap, while he applied some salve to the cloth. Then gently he wiped it over her knuckles, sanitizing it and wiping away any blood. He gently cleansed her first hand, then her other, his face and gaze focused on them and away from her pretty face. She could see his own strong face outlined, the way his brow knitted with his concentration, or the outline of his jaw. Except for a few scrapes, her hands would soon be as good as new. He put the stuff to the side and held her hands, each in his own, looking them. Perfect. He seemed to note, though was he describing his healing work or her in general? He finally brought his eyes back to her after what seemed like so long and keeping eye contact with her, raised both her hands up to his lips so he could kiss the back of them, one after the other.
Youll have to rest these and yourself for some time. Doctors orders. Aydin said with a teasing grin.
gpt
Kaya had barely noticed the room. She had eyes only for Aydin. His silly smile and the way he seemed utterly lost all of a sudden. She couldn't help but grin foolishly up at him. This was insane, ridiculous, utterly against any proper behavior. Yet there they were. She pushed the idea of him being her boss out of her mind. Did it really matter? It wasn't like his favor toward her would affect any other employee. She was the only one. Don't waste thought on it. The thoughts scattered anyways as his hand came up and rested on her cheek, lightly stroking the soft flesh. She made a little noise of appreciative surprise as he descended on her again. Harder, deeper than before. Another sound of surprise as his tongue urged hers into a wicked dance. She was all too willing to oblige. Then he was gone again. Her gaze foolish and wistful as she looked up to him.
"Oh...right," she said absently as he took her hands. That's what they were doing. Mending her bruised and split knuckles. She followed him to the edge of the bed and sat down at his gesturing. Kaya couldn't stop watching Aydin. She felt stupid and giddy, excited and utterly foolish. Though the silly grin wiped from her face, purple eyes shooting wide as he removed the sweater vest. Her face took on a red tinge at the sight but aside from unbuttoning the top of his shirt he stopped there. He bustled about the room, gathering up what he needed to tend to her busted skin. She didn't expect him to lean in, once the supplies were gathered, to plant a nipping kiss on her neck. Kaya gave a little hissing cry at the gesture. Odd but exciting. Electricity and fire raced through her. She grinned and flushed at his compliment and command. "I'll try not to," she said with a quiet giggle and surrendered her hands to him.
His ministrations were gentle as he cleaned up her skin. She watched his hands move at first. Confident and strong but so soft and gentle. He deftly cleaned and sanitized the wounds. Her eyes raised up to study his face. His concentration unparalleled as he tended the wounds. Brown knitted and strong jaw clenched. So studious, no wonder he was a researcher. Kaya watched him as he finished up the task. A simple enough job. Honestly she wasn't even sure she needed the tending to. Her hands rested easily in his as he lifted them up to examine his work. Finally he looked up and her. That silly smile appeared again as he lifted up her hands and gently kissed.
His orders made her pause a moment before laughing quietly and leaning forward, resting her forehead against his. Her hands turned, winding her fingers in with his. "Rest is it? So is this a paid leave of absence from work?" She asked with an equally teasing laugh. "I don't suppose I might need...overnight observation? Just in case?" Another teasing quip before she tilted her chin up and caught his lips again. Just as he had her tongue snaked out to dance with his. She lifted a leg onto the bed, leaning in close, pressing herself against him where they sat on the edge of his bed.
human
Aydin quirked his own eyebrows at Kayas response. Paid leave? Why not then. He did give a very pointed, and bemused look, when she mentioned overnight observation. Yes he would love that very much. He opened his mouth to give his own witty retort, which proved only to be a ploy when she leaned forward and kissed him again. Their tongues met and danced a passionate dance, his arms instinctively moving about her as she nudged into him more, eager to press the kiss. It was a benumbing sensation whenever their lips met. Everything else seemed so distant, so far away. And the kiss felt so real and yet otherworldly. He didnt have enough time to come to a conclusion how it felt. The solution was obvious though. Keep on kissing!
Only to break for much needed breath after a moment, resting his brow to hers, hand on her cheek, smiling as they faced one another inches apart. I suppose the observation starts now. He said, moving to kiss her again and this time, his hands were more needy and exploratory. His hand on her cheek remained, moving behind her neck, grasping and raking at her hair and flesh softly as they kissed and twirled their tongues. His other moved over her leg, pulling it, shifting it over his lap to the other side until he could tug her right over to straddle to his hips. In a moment she was seated almost over him, her hair curtaining around her face. Aydin brought both his hands to her hips, simply looking up at her adoringly.
He was quite hard. She might feel it. Only fabric separated their bodies from truly joining. I want to say this the moment I saw youbut youre very beautiful, Kaya. Aydin murmured to her gently, eyes fixated on her face. His hands at her sides then began to roll up her shirt, moving it up her torso, over her breasts, until it could be pulled over her head and tossed aside. The buttons of his shirt would require a little more diligence to remove, unless one lost patience and simply tore them apart. But he forgot his own state of dress as he looked with awe on Kayas body. Breasts covered by her bra still, her body was everything he expected of a female in the fullness of their womanhood. She was slender, taut, and radiant. He pressed his face right into her cleavage, at first merely drinking in her scent, before he tickled the valley between her mounds with his lips and tongue for a moment, as his hands trailed up her naked back.
Then he grasped her and hugging her to his own abdomen, Aydin quickly stood and carried her momentarily, before he turned and deposited Kaya onto her back upon the bed, while he hovered over her, standing between her legs. She could enjoy her own show now as he undid his buttons some more, bringing each arm up to undo the buttons at the end of the sleeve, until the shirt hung loosely. Next it was removed, exposing his own slender torso that she had once seen before. Now she could touch it, as he could touch hers. He leaned forward to kiss her some more, laying over her body, pressing bare flesh to bare flesh, though their lower bodies were still covered. He grinded against her too, his bulge pressed to her womanhood. He so wanted it.
Kaya. He murmured again in lust, kissing at her lower cheeks and neck. He was going to take his sweet time with her. A lady like her deserved the thoroughness.
gpt
Electricity and fire jolted through her body as their tongue dance. Every nerve, every fiber was tuned to Aydin. His scent, the feel of his body pressed to hers, the taste on him on her lips and tongue. It was intoxicating. Yet he pulled back some, breaking their dance. Her eyes blinked open and met his gaze as their foreheads rested against one another. She couldn't help a quiet, breathy laugh at his retort. It was her turn to be cut off for a witty remark when he tilted his head up and pressed his lips to her against. More feverish than ever she shivered as his hand slid behind her head, nails ranking into hair and flesh. Her own hands slipped around his neck, holding close to him. Closer and closer still as he coaxed her legs up. Kaya was more than willing to oblige and slid herself onto his lap. Below she could feel the hard bulge pushing against her. Another delighted, icy shiver raced her spine at the feeling.
His compliment, one he had been holding back since they met, brought a bright, flushing grin to her lips. "And here I thought I was the only one enamored," she replied with a smirk. Especially since that incident in the bathroom. She glanced down at his hands on her hips as they began rolling her shirt up. An eyebrow quirked at him but she leaned back some as her shirt came higher and higher until he pulled it over her head and tossed it aside. Kaya subtly leaned back some as he stared, giving him a keen view of her mostly naked body. The look on his face, the sheer delighted awe, forced a painfully wide grin. She couldn't help a quiet laugh as he quickly buried his face into her bosom. Her hands drifted up and embedded into his steely blue hair as he kissed and licked between her breasts. The muscles of her back twitched and flexed under his hands as they drifted up.
Suddenly she was pressed close to him, held tightly and securely. The moment he moved she gripped him just as tight, her legs locking around his hips as he stood up with ease. Just a slight adjustment, only a moment was she suspended in the air before laid back down on the bed. Her legs and arms released him as he stood up, still nestled between her thighs, and began working on the buttons of his shirt. A pleasing and slow show as each button was undone, including around his wrists, until the shirt slid off. Just as she remembered. Dryer of course. Her hands slid up as he leaned over her, fingers dancing across his stomach and up his chest as he leaned down to her. Their hips pressed firmly together as their bodies connected, flesh to flesh. Kaya relished the smooth, firm feel of his body against hers. The hot, hard bulge against her core sent waves of need through her. His lips on her jaw and neck certainly weren't helping the dizzying need for him. Quiet sighs and soft moans drifted between her lips as the caressing of his lips. Her hands roved his bare back, nails lightly scraping. Her name on his tongue coursing delighted shivers across her flesh.
Kaya tilted her head and nudge him away with a sudden aggressive turn. Still unable to stop grinning she nipped at his jaw before kissing her way down his neck. Slowly she sat up, lips and tongue trailing a path down his neck and across his collar bone. Further down as she force them up until she had him standing and her sitting. Her trail of kisses, nips, and licks brought her to his hips even as her hands slipped down to undo the button of his pants. She gave his right. Hip a hard, pinching bite as she slipped the waist of his pants and underwear down just far enough to free him from their confines. Back to tiny nips as she trailed her lips and tongue across his pelvis. Her eyes lifted up to meet his as one hand wrapped around his shaft with all the soft delicacy of handling an egg. She gave him a coy little smirk as her tongue flicked out, teasingly flicking against the very tip of him before wrapping her lips around the head, her tongue tickling the underside of him as she took him into her mouth without breaking eye contact
human
The more proof he had of the mutuality of their attraction, the more Aydins heart seemed to thunder and pound with excitement. A part of him thought he ought to just stop and take measure of all these new developments, happening one after the other, like a very crowded minute. There didnt seem enough time in the world for him to explore what was before him. Kaya was a beauty, a strong women accustomed to the labours of trekking and traveling, making him feel a bit worried that Aydin was not as tough as he used to be. But he was, with a strong slender physique and muscles used to coaxing dozens of Pokemon to his will. They molded right into each other, equals, and yet from countless lessons in battles and trainingsthere could only be one victor, right?
Maybe Kaya felt the same way as she suddenly broke into action. Aydin could barely register with all that was happening in his own body. All he could dowas laugh lightly when she gave a light bite to his jaw and kissed down his neck, forcing herself up and cutting off his wonderful oversight of her body. He wasnt ready to stop that but his curiosity was tugged away at the delicious tingles Kaya left over his body as she kissed her way down. He could see where she was face level with and Aydin couldnt help but smirk at the sudden change in form. But was he really on top, mentally winning this game, even if he was standing? He gave a little quirk of his eyebrow in question when she pinched the side of his hip, enduring the little throb, while his own hands came to her face and stroked back her hair, resting at the back of her scalp.
No, Kaya took a clear lead when she finished his undressing, his pants sliding to his ankles as they lost grip on his legs, freeing his endowed manhood before her. His eyes met hers and her own connected with his. And Aydin knew in that moment Kaya was going to win this as she began to work his cock with her mouth.
Kaya. He groaned again, face and head lifting as pleasure coursed through his body like electricity. He moaned, head tilted high, but his eyes fighting against the natural reactions to keep looking down at her face. She looked enticing with her mouth around his cock and he began to thrust his hips against her face, feeling each hard inch of his manhood slide in and out of her tasty lips. She looked mischievous herself down there, as if she planned for this all along. Well it was a good plan. Except perhaps she might have thought it through. Aydin was sex-starved out here on Mount Silver. This eruptionwell, who was going down to his lab to fetch safety goggles now? The thought made him half-chuckle through his laborious panting and groaning, his shoulders and chest heaving from the energetic pleasure Kaya inflicted on him. He didnt think he could hold it in for much longer.
The signs would become evident. His fingers gripped her hair tighter, while his lips parted to show his bared teeth, trying to fight the pressure that swelled in his lower abdomen, bubbling like a dam about to burst. His abdomen constricted and flexed with each breath, as if just to inhale and exhale was an effort. In the seconds before, he couldnt even manage that. His toes curled and gripped the soft carpet and with a broken cry, Kaya! he began to climax. Heavily. Whether it was within her mouth or slightly upon her face, it came with a gushing sensation that left him tingling and throbbing with waves of pleasure as he let loose. So much tension, stress, burdens on his shoulders, it all seemed to go away in that instant. Just one thing left on his mind. Kaya. And how he was going to return the favor.
He let go of her hair, disheveled from his grip, to run his hand over his own face, throwing his wavy hair back. Kaya, by god, where did you learn to do that he panted, placing his hands on her naked shoulders so he could rest a moment, panting as he bent over, his brow coming to hers as he smiled in her face. Well its only fair if I do the same. He then said with a smirk, falling to his own knees now, his face first above her own, then on level, and then below, as his hands came to begin removing her own pants and underwear. She had illustrious violet hair. Did the turf match the curtains? He looked up at her, smiling, before he slid off her panties to view for himself.
And greet the wonderful scene of course with a kiss. And another. And several more.
gpt
While she couldn't grin with her lips wrapped around him the amusement and delight shone bright in her eyes at his reaction. Head thrown back, hands burying into her silken, amethyst locks. She watched him as he savored the feel of her lips around him. Her hands reached up to join in. For every inch she couldn't take in her mouth she compensated with a soft, deft stroke of her hands. This worked for a scarce few moment before Aydin decided he wanted the control. Kaya stiffened up as his hips jerked forward, a little surprised at the sudden motion. With a couple stuttering moments she found a rhythm with him. If he was enjoying it enough to rock his hips against her then so be it. She was more than willing to find a pleasing rhythm with him. Her hands gently stroked him through his own thrusting, lightly keeping him from pressing her too hard. The last thing she wanted was to ruin the moment with a forceful gag.
Kaya didn't note or care what time had passed. Sitting at the edge of his bed was perfectly comfortable. She had found a fine, steady pace with him. Honestly she could do this all day. Above her she heard the sweet song of Aydin's pleasure. The gasps and hisses from clenched and bared teeth, the struggle to breathe. All of it a beautiful song she was delighted to be conductor for. Little more was a bigger turn on than those sweet sounds. Her eyes lifted to him, seeing the way his flat stomach twitched and contracted with each labored breath. She felt his hands sink into her scalp, gripping her hair, tugging on the roots. The pulling sent excited tingles through her body as she continued to work him, twisting her tongue around the sensitive head as they pulled back some.
His finish came as a small surprise. The shout of her name and tensing of his body. The first gout of salty fluid splashed her tongue. She pulled back in her surprise at the sudden release. Her eyes suddenly snapped shut as the rest gushed over her face leaving trails of hot, sticky seed over one close eyes, her nose, across one cheek, and of course over her lips and chin. Once he relaxed she opened her unblocked eye to look up at him as he released her hair and looked down at her once more. She couldn't help a grin as he ran his hands over his face in sheer shock at what had happened. "Here and there," she said with an amused, coy grin. Her he leaned down she reached up and wipe off what she could from her face, smiling softly with his forehead against hers. His threat to return the face brought an excited flush to her face and a bright grin.
Aydin was quick to drop to his knees before her and grasp her pants. They were easy enough to yank off, just a pair of simple leggings. No buttons or zippers to fuss with. The simple panties went just as quick too. Oh indeed everything matched in hue. Kaya slid her hands to Aydin's shoulders as he leaned down and planted a teasing kiss on her, then another one. Already she was wet and slick from enjoying his symphony of pleasure. Kaya sucked in a pleasant hiss between her teeth at the feeling. Even at the gentle kisses she thought back to his hip thrusting. Turn about and all right? That was his plan? With a devious little grin she suddenly slid back on the bed, away from him. Kneeling was all well and good but she couldn't very well let him get too tired, right? She crooked her finger teasingly at him for him to follow, a nearly evil grin on her face.
The second she hand him on the bed she grabbed his shoulders and rolled him onto his back. He slick folds grazed his length just a moment as she pinned him down. A pillow yanked under his head she eased herself forward until she could hook her knees around his shoulders. The evil grin across her lips never left as she looked down at him from such a height. "Only fair, right?" She asked with a small chuckle.

Aydin felt like a conductor at work with a symphony, given how focused and concentrated he was. His tongue was his wand, her sex his instrument, her moans the music. He never tasted a berry so sweet as Kaya before and his tongue was eager as it explored all avenues and curves, licking either side of her folds as if each might bring new treasure, returning every heartbeat as if it might spring up any second. He covered her in all directions, kissing and suckling, tasting her intimacy as his hands ran up and down her thighs. He was in her most secretive of places. But then without warningshe scooted back and Aydin, eyes closed, so caught up in his work, nearly got a tongue full of blanket instead.
He looked up at her with a puzzled expression, rising up to his full height, his slender muscular physique on display, with his cock hardening again. He was up for barely a second before Kaya grabbed him and practically threw him onto the bed. He barely had time to roll over, still confused but strangely allowing this manhandling of him, as Kaya was over him in a second. He watched as she seemed to pamper him with a pillow but it wasnt until she shifted forward that he understood what was going to happen.
Not that he would complain.
His arms moved up to wrap around her thighs, helping to hook her right over his face. His bright eyes only glanced at her as his mouth was covered by her sex once again, this time inescapable from him and vice versa. Only fair? Now he had her trapped and his own arms flexed with all their might as he held her in place, his tongue drilling up to plunge into her depths. All her juices flowed down into his mouth, which was eager and relentless in his hunt for more. His hands moved over her, first resting on her lower back, then grabbing her rear possessively, squeezing her cheeks as he began to rock her body and hips on his face, grinding as his tongue lacerated any part of her folds that it could touch.
This time he kept his eyes opened. He could see Kaya above him, high on a throne, her abdomen stretched and her breasts sitting on her chest, with her own face and curtain of violet hair, all caught up in the throes of pleasure that he was inflicting. His jaw began to ache from his exertion but on Aydin went, licking and teasing with his tongue, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, shifting Kaya on top of him. He pushed her to that edge, wondering if she might drench his face the way he did to hers. A primal way of claiming one another, it seemed. But as he brought her to the spiraling abyss of climax, he brought his arms to reach up, taking hold of her breasts in each hand, squeezing them, and ensuring she was trapped to ride out every motion and sensation on his face and tongue and nowhere else.

Aydin's confusion was easily read and very adorable. Even better was the dawning realization and excitement that came next. Perhaps not excitement in his expression but the way his arms clamped around her thighs, locking her in place. She shivered at the way his muscles flexed around her legs, pinning her there as much as she had him pinned. A gasp hissed through her teeth as he dug his tongue deep inside of her. Her back arched, her thighs straining against their binds as she nearly bucked away. Coils of icy fire wrapped around her from her core down to her toes and up to her shoulders. Kaya's back arched at the touch of his fingers at the small dimples at her tailbone. She couldn't help a little grin as his hands drifted down to grab at handfulls of her shapely bottom, coaxing her hips to rock against him which they were very happy to oblige. A gently motion, despite the way her brain felt like mush at his deft touch she had enough sense to not get too wild. Didn't want to break his nose.
All the while a pressure built inside of her, warmth and delight. Her head tilted back and her hands reached out for the headboard of the bed for support. Against his ribs her toes wriggled and curled. Tiny little pants became gasping, labored breathing with sharp inhales and shuddering exhales. He was relentless, teasing and tormenting a sweet chorus from her body. His name a punctuated, soft sigh on her lips from time to time. The more the pressure built, the hotter her body grew, the more violent his attentions became. Her head was thrown back, eyes rolling in her skull. Right to the brink. Then the damn shattered. She gave a high, staccato cry as her body went rigid. An explosion wracked her body, sending crashing waves and electric bolts through her body. Every nerve was on fire, forcing an uncontrollable shuddering through her. Then she relaxed back, sucking in a deep gasp of desperately needed air.
Moving proved difficult at first. Her limbs wouldn't obey her commands even as she tried to shift back. From finger tips to toes her bones were replaced with jelly. Slowly she managed to scoot off of him, sliding back just enough until she could simply flop over to his side. Her chest still heaved as if she had been the one exerting herself. She curled up to him, enjoying the final few receding waves of delight that flowed through her veins. Kaya wished she had the words to tell him what an experience that had been. As it stood she didn't have enough to describe her wonder and elation. Instead she pushed herself up, arm still shaking some, to lean over him, her hair draping into a curtain around their heads. Uncaring if he wiped her wetness off his lips she leaned down to kiss him. Nothing wild or passionate. Sweet and tender, her lips soft against his as her fingers stroked his jaw.
Kaya drew back and looked down at him again, a wistful smile on her face. "Well if this is the payment for beating up Team Rocket flunkies...send me an army," she said with a small laugh and a bright smile.
human
He didnt think he heard such music before. Nothing could compare to the ravishing moans that he could coax out of Kaya, with only the movement of his tongue upon her sex. Aydin relished each and every utterance of his name, feeling himself shudder with delight at being praised so simply and yet so heavily at the same time. He wanted to hear it again and again, none so sweetly as the sounds Kaya made when he put her over the edge. He tasted her fully in the ripeness of her sexual essence and drank it deeply, licking every droplet that she would give him, savouring every taste. Like the crest of a mighty wave, she rose to such heights above him, before slowly coming down, her body stilling above him. His tongue however would not cease until the moment she rolled off of him.
For a moment they lay together, panting and breathing, naked side by side. He licked his lips and ran a finger beneath them, suckling on it a moment too. Delicious. He murmured, giving her a playful side look. Kaya was in her own euphoric state and he took a moment to run his eyes over her body again, purple hair spread about her, while her milky hued flesh sat so appealingly against his side, feminine to his masculine. It felt a perfect fit. His own body still lay flat where she had put him, chest and abdomen on display, with his manhood standing to the fullness of its reach. He kissed her back eagerly but it stayed there, looking on with envy.
Aydin looked at her curiously for a moment, when she expressed her wish to fight an army if it got her anything like this. What could he say to that, truly? Instead he just smiled and kissed her forehead, her own laugh quite contagious and unable to be avoided by him. Not that he would.
Well dont fret about it. It was a one-time fee. You can enjoy this anytime you like. He told Kaya with a smile, turning onto his side to shift into her some more, his arm moving across her chest to grab a breast, one leg moving over hers, as he leaned over to kiss her more on the lips. It became a mad dance as his tongue went into her mouth, twirling about her own, drawing it out to play. Little by little he moved more over her, until he blanketed her with his own body, warm, slender, and yet strong. He kept on kissing her, passionately, running his hands along her face and then behind into her hair, stroking and raking through it, until his hands went down her sides to her legs, spreading her apart for him. He broke the kiss to look her in the eye, smiled, and reached down to line himself up.
His manhood grazed to her slit, feeling it wet and warm for him. He leaned close to her face, his brow to her brow, and with a sigh and a push, began to enter into her depths. His whole body shook with the pleasure. His hands were back in her hair again, gripping it a bit tightly, holding on as he speared himself as deep as he could go, until his pelvis bumped to hers. Kaya. He groaned against her lips, before swallowing them in another kiss, beginning to grind slowly into her. He didnt even know if she wanted to go this far yet here they were, employer and subordinate, engaged in the most unethical breach of conduct. But then again, he was a bad guy after all, wasnt he?
gpt
Kaya beamed at the soft, sweet gesture. His lips on her forehead with that little laugh of his. She would be hard pressed to deny that she was utterly over the moon with infatuation. Her strength felt it was returning as he turned himself to face her. She returned the kiss with as much fervor as he gave, letting him roll her onto her back and smother her with his lean, strong body. She shivered in delight at the feeling, warm flesh on flesh. Her legs shifted to accommodate him, tongue whirling with his. Kaya's hand explored the wide planes of his back, lightly dancing across the taut skin. A delightful tremor coursed her with his nails raking into her hair as her legs moved fully with his pressing, her calves sliding along his thighs and knees. Her eyes opened as he broke away from the kiss, meeting his gaze.
Another shiver raced through her as she felt the hot hardness of him graze her. A one hand drifted to his jaw as their forehead connected. With his sigh she sucked in a hiss as he pressed himself forward, easing himself inside of her. The breath released with a gentle moan as his length filled her. Her toes wriggled agains his ankles, further and further in until he fully sheathed himself inside of her. The rest of the breath released in a shuddering sigh just before he took her lips one more. Slow, steady, gentle. A soft grinding, his length teasing her within. Kaya groaned into the kiss as she trembled at the feel of him. The hand on his jaw dove into the silky steel blue of his hair, nails lightly scraping his scalp. Her other hand dragged against the smooth rigidity of his back, feeling his muscles flex with every gentle, grinding, thrust.
One long, smooth leg draped over the back of his thigh, letting him dive just a little deeper within her. Her hips matched his rhythms in the slow, sensual dance. Kaya tilted her face down and broke the kiss for a light, panting breath. She tucked her cheek against his with a nuzzle, sharp little breaths drifting across his ear. "Aydin," she moaned in a soft euphoric breath before lightly peppering his cheek and jaw with kisses. She wanted more of him, all of him. Her brain hazy and dizzy in her delight.
The hands in his hair drifted to his shoulder and suddenly gripped with all its might. A leg hooked around his and with a surprisingly agile and mighty heave she flipped him over, one his back once more. She had kept enough of a grip on him he didn't slip out of her. Kaya leaned over hims, her breasts grazing his chest while her hair curtained around them. For a moment she was still, grinning at him. Her face was flushed but her eyes hooded and dark. Slowly she sat up, sitting over him for the second time that night, looking down at him as she straddled his hips. Her small hands drifted down his chest to his abdomen and rested there. Her arms pressed her breasts together and a little forward. Her grin was amused and mischievous while her eyes were nothing but lust. Slowly her hips shifted, just the smallest bit forward and back at first until she developed a long, slow, stroking and rolling rhythm. Her pace was slow at first, the gentle rolling of waves. Though with each rolling her hips rose just a little more, then more, and more until he was nearly out of her before she speared herself back down on him. Then her pace increased with the same steady, incremental changes.
A light sheen of sweat glistened on her body as the pace quickened, her breath coming in harder pants. Amethyst eyes half closed as her head tilted back, a boiling heat filling her body as she rode him. Her breasts heaved and swayed with the rhythm, her long hair dancing along. Little fingers dug into his sides as the heat mounted and raged, another damn of pressure building. Harder and fiercer than even before. His name drifted across her her tongue, though this time it was harsher, darker, primal.
human
It seemed so perfect then for Aydin. It was night, they were alone, and it felt like the whole world had ceased outside just to serenade their moment with tranquility and peace. Of course the activity between them might seem frantic instead. Aydin panted hard, whether buried in a deep kiss with Kaya or pressing his brow to hers, working his hips into her with tireless haste. Every breath of hers was loaded with sensuality to his ears and Aydin worked to hear it again and again, no effort too great for his body to indulge in to earn this reward. Over and over, that was his routine now, the sole focus of his mind and body, delving into Kaya.
Still, he had no thoughts of consequences yet. No concerns over what this may mean going forwards. They worked together. They were colleagues and comrades. Though it wasnt a corporate job, it still broached a little of norms what they were doing. It was taboo. Yet it was enticingly sexy and bewitching for Aydin. He didnt care. For a man who lived entirely in his thoughts, using his mind, it was a rare case where he simplydid notthink at all. He was at peace. He drilled and thundered his hips against Kaya, enjoying every moment of this. Later, he could worry. Now, he would enjoy this new drug as deeply as he could.
And to add to this symphony of whirl winding emotions and sensations, Kaya brought her own form of storm to this mix. Aydin was too singular minded to react, nor did he care to when she rolled them over, shifting easily and gracefully to put him beneath her. A position becoming familiar, though not unwelcomed, and his hands trailed along her sides and rested on her hips as she leaned over him, before moving back to sit more direct upon him. Aydin smiled up at her, hands caressing along her bent legs on either side of his hips, admiring the view of her breasts pressed so wonderfully together as she pit her hands on his body. Leveraging herself, she began to ride him, first on her own, before his hips began to be drawn into the rhythm with her, nudging up as much as they could as she came down.
His hands couldnt resist the appeal of her breasts swaying and shifting with each of her movements, reaching up to grab and hold them as Kaya took control of the pacing. Aydin still worked vigorously to meet it, matching her thrusting with his own. His body lay displayed and flexed for her viewing pleasure, though his eyes were only for hers, admiring the look of orgasmic delight on her face that was bubbling up all too well. He hoped it would again be something he could be familiar with, and vice versa, as it began to swell in his own abdomen now. A pent up tinder box, ready to ignite and explode, and Aydin couldnt help but snarl as he fought a two-fold battle, losing on each side. He fought to both restrain the climax and yet keep his body moving, never ceasing in the strokes he could give the royal queen on her throne.
The climatic cry of her own name was just as broken and needy as the name she uttered. Eyes shut, back arching, Aydin felt his hips lift as he shot out his orgasm into her depths.Consequences.Still, not realized by Aydin. Indeed his mind was fully at rest, unthinking, as his body coursed and shook from the waves of pleasure. Slowly he would come down, breathing, holding on to Kaya above him. Eventually, he tugged her down to lay over his chest and abdomen, hugging her very close. He was spent.
Kayafuck, that was amazing. Aydin panted, giving a little chuckle, kissing in a lazy fashion whatever part of her face he could reach. He didnt need a blanket at this point, not if they stayed close and embracing, propping each other up.Like they did in battle.His arms were around her, one stroking her hair back, the other about her lower back. He would soon slip free of her below but keeping this close, he would soon be rejuvenated. It was still a young night. But they hadwork tomorrow to do. I like it like this. It feels good. Shouldnt be any other way. Aydin murmured with his eyes closed. He shifted Kaya to his side, letting them lay side to side, facing one another. His hand could stroke the side of her face as he peered at her, opening his own eyes.
Youre like a Voltorb, youd never expect such a huge blast and kick from something sosmall. He then joked to her and kissed the bridge of her nose. He hoped she wouldnt get embarrassed again and try running off so to pre-empt her, Aydin reached down to grab the crumpled blankets under them and draw them over, half ways, over their bodies. Best to spend the night together. It could be so lonely out there by oneself.
gpt
It didn't take long for Aydin to find a rhythm with her. Once she got going she felt his own hips grind up to meet with her. She couldn't help a grin at the feeling. How easily they moved together! In so many other ways too. Kaya didn't have the mental faculties to begin to understand how well they seemed to fit. Literally and figuratively. Oh they fit very well in the literal sense. Her fingers tensed on his abdomen as their pacing rose to a fevered pitch. Her legs gripped hard and steadily kept on, strong and firm from riding Rapidash. Though she would admit she'd never had such a perfect ride before and her mount never made such sounds. A sweet serenade of fierce growls and pants as he matched her heated pace. Growing to a race for that sweet, sweet finish.
Kaya sucked in a sharp hiss between her teeth as she felt Aydin go so suddenly still, pressing himself against her as tightly as he could. Though it wasn't the cry of her name on his lips that tipped her over with him. It was the sudden, hard pulsing she felt within her depths. The spreading warmth as his pleasure reached it's peak. Her own caught her by surprise. The sudden seizure of her nerves and waves of electric fire that coursed her marrow. Her voice caught in her throat with a high, strangled little staccato of a cry. The arch of her back something to behold before the wave subsides leaving her body a quaking mess of jangled, excited nerves.
She was utterly pliant as he snaked his arms around her and pulled her down to lay with him. Breaths felt in short, shivering pants against his chest and neck as they lay there, reveling in the glory of one another. A weak, breathy laugh left her with his comment. "Hardly does it justice," she quipped back in the self same whispering breath. She huffed a tired, content sigh as he lightly stroked her hair, her own fingers grazing along his cheek and jaw. His strange little murmur brought another amused laugh. Though she decided not to respond as he tipped over, sliding out of her sending a shiver through her. Her arms snaked around him as they lay on their sides, face to face.
"A voltorb?" She questioned with a chuckle as he kissed her nose. "Guess that means you're a water type...one hit K.O," she murmured as he yanked the covers part of the way over them. Oh she had no intentions of leaving him. Instead she nuzzled in closer, tucking a leg between his and nestling her face into his collar bone. Her mind was coming back and she was realizing just how wrong it all should be. It should have never happened. He was still her boss! Of course it wasn't like they worked for Sylph Co or anything. More importantly she liked it far to much to let something as silly a propriety kill it. Like him far too much. Her fingers still brushed and danced across the hard planes of his back for a little before growing slower and slower until stopping. Her breath evened out and she was lost from the waking world. In all her years she had never slept so deeply and so peacefully as that night. Even without the presence of Rapidash nearby.
Morning dawned far too early. Light crept in and nudged Kaya awake. Sometime in the night she had curled up into her usual little ball, her hands tucked up under her chin. Slowly her eyes flit open and she gave a wide yawn. As always she was up with the sun. Oh but how she wished for just a little more time with Aydin's warm, strong body. No, the pokemon needed their breakfast. Honestly, she and Aydin needed to eat too. Slowly, carefully, she extricated herself from his embrace. Quietly she gathered her clothing up and crept out of the room. Just outside of the door lay Pikachu and Nidorina. Kaya froze a moment but the pokemon were still sound asleep. She skittered to the bathroom as quick as she could to clean up a little and get dressed.
Feeling a little more proper and a lot giddy she trotted downstairs to start breakfast. First the coffee was set to brew and then some eggs. Bacon too. She was still exhausted and a little sore but couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. Kaya hummed happily to herself as she scrambled up the eggs and folded chopped vegetables into them. Nothing like a good, hearty breakfast after such a night.
human
Aydin grinned at her joke, feeling it apt no matter what type he was. Boy-type, to her girl, and that would always be a weakness for him. How easily his discipline and ethics fell apart in the face of a beautiful woman, fiery and headstrong, and scared of no challenge. Whatever consequences there may be, it was hard to even consider them as they embraced and tucked in close, Aydin having no fear that she might run away. Not in the way that she held him, and continued to hold him, all throughout that night. He never had a rest or slumber like that before. His own hands wandered Kaya's body until they too lost their excitement and he fell silent. Morning would come and he was still deeply lodged in his euphoria, not rousing even she separated. But like a slow wind picking up, his body became aware that he was lacking the one aphrodisiac that put him in such a state.
With a groan, Aydin woke, with groggy hair and a throbbing ache in his lower back. Such vigorous thrusting, of which the memory felt hazy despite the intensity of it when it happened. Kaya was gone. Had it been a dream? But his first breath of air he could still smell her and even taste her on his lips. Where had she gone off to? Perhaps escaping the strong central spur that pitched its tent down by his lower abdomen, hard and strong. Aydin sighed and clambered off the bed, moving to shower briskly with cold water. Trousers and a loose robe about him, he found Nidorina waiting for him by his door and together they came down the stairs, following the delicious scent.
There he found his missing lover. She was dressed, her back to him, humming as she cooked a very humanly meal. He wondered why she had left the comfort of their shared bed, only a heartbeats wait till they realized they weren't exactly alone on this estate either. Look at her, so precious, putting everyone else first before her own needs.
Aydin strode up behind Kaya and wrapped his arms about her waist, kissing her cheek. "Good morning. Did you have a wonderful night?" He hummed into her ear, pressing his groin to her rear before he let go. While she cooked, he went to oversee the pot of coffee she had gotten ready and went to look out the window. Some of his Pokemon were meandering about the burnt battlefield, over charred logs and grass.Oh no. All those stained paws and all, scale, flesh and fur.
"They are going to need a bath." Aydin mused, transitioning right back to ranch owner and Pokemon caretaker. "Most think a layer of battle ash and dust is appropriate attire. We'll take them down to some shallows a short hour away. We should also head to town later, maybe pick up some potions and gels. In case there are any lingering effects from the battle." He suggested too, looking over to Kaya, eyebrows raised slightly. "How are your knuckles feeling?" He asked her, just to get the instinctive habit out of him that he might be talking to himself. As usual. As he did before Kaya came to him like some sort of angel.
He didn't want to mention Team Rocket though. When it came to the forefront of his mind, it felt exposing to him, as if Kaya might learn all with just a look of her pretty, bright eyes. They were keen. And he had too much to hide and too much to lose now. Two cups poured of coffee, one which he brought over to her. Like they were a...thing. What exactly were they now? Still employer and employee? Boyfriend and...
"Girlfriend." Aydin said aloud, sipping his coffee. He looked at her pointedly, as if she might understand the unspoken question behind that title.
gpt
Kaya wasn't so distracted by her happy humming and homemaking not to hear Aydin get up and take a quick shower. She was just about to fold the omelets when he came down the stairs. Her smile brightened as he approached and slipped his arms around her waist. She giggled quietly at the little kiss to her cheek, her hand come up to rest on his arms as his voice tickled against her ear. "I'd say so," she responded in a breathy little sigh. The gentle, teasing murmur sent hot trills down her body. The heat only intensified with the sudden, hard press against her backside. Her knees felt fit to buckle for a second as he slipped away to check on coffee. Coming back to herself she folded and flipped the omelets. Had to focus, don't burn the food. Though her eyes couldn't seem to listen, constantly flicking back up to Aydin as he went to look out the window.
The omelets got another flip and she put bread in to toast as he began talking. Her head tilted a little, partially unsure if he was speaking to her or just thinking out loud. She leaned to the side a bit to try and see out the window but couldn't see much. A bath then head into town? Not a terrible idea. She had wanted to get Gyradose to the Pokemon Center anyways. A couple more sweaters wouldn't be a bad idea. Then again...he had offered to let her borrow some. Suddenly that idea was far more appealing. Though her head snapped up from cooking when he asked her a question directly. She held her hands out to look at them. "Bruised, a bit swollen, but not bad," she said with a small shrug. "I think your....overnight observation was a success," she said with a suggestive grin.
It was quiet again for a moment. The omelets were ready. She popped each one onto a plate as the toast was readied. She could feel Aydin's eye on her as she finished making their breakfast. Though as she was finishing up he brought her a cup of coffee which she took with a smile.
Girlfriend. The smile fell away to wide eyes and parted lips. There was a question there, she heard it even if it sounded more like a statement. Like a claim. All brain function seemed to have ceased. For a time she just stared at Aydin. Finally she jerked back into motion and lifted up a plate to hand to him. "Uhm...Aydin are you...I mean..." She didn't even know what to ask or say really. It made her feel excited and giddy but also nervous, trepidatious. "It's not no!" She quickly clarified. "I just...are you...sure? I mean...we had sex once and...we kind of only just met like two days ago..." Normally men were the ones less likely to slap titles on something so quickly.
"I suppose....yeah. Why not," she finally said with small, shy grin. Technically she'd never actually had a 'boyfriend' before. No one steady or long term at any rate. "Sorry not really sure how you're supposed to respond to that," she said with an awkward laugh before reaching up a hand to lay against his neck and kissed him. "Boyfriend," she said as she released him and grabbed her plate to go an eat. There would be a lot to do that day and first thing first was eating. For both them and the pokemon.

If there was ever so simple a title that could cause so shocked a reaction, it had to bethatone. Aydin had never seen such a look on Kaya before, not when they fought a flash-Gyrados attack or all throughout the destruction wrought by Team Rocket. No, none of that unsettled her as much as his one declaration and he only stood there, mug of coffee in hand, as she went through the motions in her mind and face. Would she run again? He had this tremendous anxiety about her leaving, when they had only just started to get to know one another.Reallyknow one another. He didnt say a word though, not to encourage her or to offer space or time. She came to it though. And what else could he expect?I supposeyeah. Why not.
She came over to kiss him though, helping to shun any notion that her response was lacklustre, repeating the opposing title to him. A yes is more than sufficient. Though, I rather you not do this because it seems the current whim or pressure. He said, eyes unable to restrain themselves as they dropped to her rear and hips as she walked away. He soon followed suit, taking breakfast and digging in at the table. Very delicious. He said, licking his lips as he glanced over to her. It seemed no compliment or remark could pass from him to her without some remainder of last night. She was delicious too.
You can have the morning to feed and rouse the Pokemon. I justhave a little work to do, then around lunch well go trekking with the group and find a nice, scenic pond to relax by. I think we earned it. We could stay here but this is a common battleground now, as you well know. Aydin informed her of his plans as they wrapped up the morning meal, placing the dishes away for washing. He would linger in the kitchen, half dressed, letting her leave first before he moved to do anything else. He had to watch his tracks carefully, especially more since he allowed himself to have acompanion now. And one who seemed quite opposed to hisside.
Of course what he needed to do was send a very strongly worded message to his superiors about being set upon by members of another department. It was quite a reckless message he sent, full of grievances and sarcasm, as Aydin was feeling quite impetuous after his night. In fact, his careless impudence in describing the brazen attack would most likely get it ignored by superiors. But it was now on record that he wasnt the aggressor, in case Headquaters did want to investigate. Better have some bribe money handy.
As for Kaya, the Pokemon without seemed little concerned about what happened. Battles were common, a way of life out here in the foothills around Mount Silver, and they proceeded with their usual shenanigans without break or pause. Rhydon moved his rocks. The water pokemon dipped and swam, the others loitered and wrestled with each other. A blackened patch of burnt grass and charred lumber now characterized the north end of the grounds. The forest would regrow though over time. There was plenty more about anyways. Those who had did battle were hungry though, not needing to be summoned, already crowding Kaya.
Golduck and Poliwhirl got into an argument over who was ahead of who in the line. Golduck did cheat his way closer to being fed but no one saw and the two began to fight a little aggressively, firing spouts of water, even aiming blows and slashes at one another. The other Pokemon either cleared groundor encouraged the two.
Then they started getting nasty inside the barn, their water attacks soaking everything.
Aydin emerged, more dressed in his formal casual wear, with suit pants, a tucked in collar shirt, his sleeveless vest. All good quality, expensive attire, which should be unobtainable for a man who lived on an estate in the wilds. He eyed the damage caused by his rambunctious Pokemon whether Kaya stopped them or not, unimpressed despite the hurts caused to his home. It was natural. Ready to head out? We wont take them all. Typhlosion can guard the grounds. Well take the fighters from last night. He said, opening up a satchel full of Pokemon balls.
Some would enter obediently. Othersmight require a chase. Aydin tossed Kaya the ball for Hoothoot. The sleepy owl however made itself scarce in the tree tops.

Kaya's eyebrows raised at the compliment to the omelets. The way he licked his lips made her think he was being a little more suggestive than just complimenting her cooking. Her ears turned pink but she grinned back at him before starting in on her own breakfast. She felt somehow tired and energetic at the same time. More than ready for a nap, despite having just woken up, but also ready to take on the day. It was strange to think how much had changed in a scarce few days between her and Aydin. Stranger still that a title was so quickly slapped on. Still not a bad thing, simply different. She had never lingered anywhere long enough to establish anything of permanency. Despite her knee-jerk reaction she was quickly warming to the titles, occasionally eyeing him with that thought drifting through her mind.
Breakfast was a quick affair and she nodded as he tossed out his plans for the day. Let her feed the pokemon then head down to some quiet pond. She'd have to pack her suit. With breakfast over she passed by Aydin with a quick kiss to his cheek before heading out to round up the pokemon for food. Several seemed very keen for feeding and there wasn't much rounding up to do. For a little things were the usual blend of calm and hectic. Some of the pokemon had to be persuaded to come to the barn for feeding, others were lining up. Though two didn't seem to want to wait their proper turn. Kaya was just about to let the next group in when the fight broke out. "Stop that!" She shouted but went unheard. She tried to insert herself into the disagreement but was very much ignored and brushed aside as the fight made its way into the barn.
"Ah shit, no...no...stop!" She shouted as she followed them in. Of course it was inside they decided to let loose with their water attacks. Within minutes everything was soaked, including her. The turtle neck clung and hung awkwardly, her hair plastered on her face, as she bodily forced herself into the fight. She caught Golduck's arm with one hand Poliwhirl's arm with her other, putting herself between them. "Enough! I will feed you at the same time!" She shouted. They both stopped but it was necessarily from her shouting. Kaya paused and cocked her head. Well that was easy. Though neither pokemon was looking at her. Kaya turned, water dripping from her hair and clothes, to find Aydin smartly dressed. She released the pokemon and her ears felt hot. He didn't seem to have a single care about the damage caused. "Uh...yeah sure," she said as she rubbed the back of her neck.
She helped gather them with Aydin. Rapidash wouldn't go in the water but she would have fun at the shore at least. Maybe a careful bath, didn't want to extinguish her flames. Hoothoot was troublesome to find. Kaya called on Fearow and Butterfree to help her find the elusive little owl. It took a while to find it and recall it into the ball. She was a little surprised Aydin wanted to take so many but he was the boss. A strange thought. Once all of the Pokemon were snug inside their balls Kaya asked for a minute to change. She trotted to her room and fished out her bathing suit. It was still chilly for her Cinnabar blood but she did love to swim. It was a good opportunity to get to know Gyrados too. She put on her white bikini under her tanktop and shorts before returning, the ties on the suit poking through the thin top. "Ok, now ready."
At least the sun was out and high in the sky. Walking helped keep her warm. Though she felt herself warm up even more as she snuck her hand into Aydin's. Pikachu rode on her shoulder for the journey, he almost never was put into his ball unless it was terrible weather or he was injured. "Despite the chill and the wild pokemon....and bandits, this is really a beautiful place," she said as they walked, her head turning around to stare at the thick trees. Far thicker and wilder than near Aydin's home.

He could have helped. Technically he wasnt supposed to, or why else was he paying Kaya?Paying and bedding her.He felt, and knew, that one of those two things needed to stop. It was unethical but who was to punish him except their own conscience? Really, how couldthatpunishhim? Aydin knew he had done worse and still could sleep at night. He wasnt innocent after all. But something about watching Kaya, seeing her fight, struggle, help, nourish, and track down his pokemon, it was innocent and happiness inducing. Anything that seemed as if it might go against it was corrupting. And right now, Aydin had a lot that could go against it.
Alakazam would accompany him on foot. The rest, the majority at least, were gathered into pokeballs and attached magnetically to a belt on his waist. Kaya asked to change after her incident with Golduck and Poliwhirl, which he had scarcely noticed at first. That used to be him!Need helphe almost asked her when she went off but decided against it. No need to rush right? How contradictory to his thoughts a minute ago about putting a seatbelt on this. He was all over the place. What was the matter with him? He was still struggling to instill some emotional discipline in himself when Kaya returned, looking fabulous and far too attractive. It was evident which side of his brain won that fight. Together, they went off.
Nidorina leapt ahead, Pikachu sat on Kayas shoulder (a little impeding to Aydins taste, wanting to hang on Kaya himself) and Alakazam and Rapidash followed behind. The wilderness was wild, beautiful, yet concealed many dangers in the thickets and tall grass around. Sometimes Alakazam would pause, crossing his spoons before his face, as if to take a defensive posture against some threat. Aydin would give a glance, his thoughts and caution sensed psychically, and the pokemon would follow warily behind. Not a single word had to be exchanged. How perfect.
He was almost taken by surprise when she slipped her hand into his. He looked over to her and smiled, squeezing it back. Beautiful, as long as it stays quiet and uneventful. He remarked himself, though something about thebanditterm bothered him. Team Rocket wasnt bandits! He wasnt going to deny they did some nasty things but he felt like the label needed to bedifferent. Team Rocket isnt banditry. Bandits are stupid and lack logistics. Team Rocketw- they have a lot of resources. Its what makes them dangerous. Aydin told her in a low voice. Sounded like he was proud of that.Dangerous. But only to those who didnt understand them.
She looked ravishing in her shorts and tanktop. He couldnt help but look, from his taller height, down upon her breasts or at her legs, so ripe for the time of day. He could glimpse a swimsuit under it all. And in his minds eye, what lay under that as well.Lets hope there isnt any bandits or wild pokemon today.
Everything here is a deception, Kaya. The trees hide dangers and threats. The Tangelas look fuzzy and cute, until twenty of them jump out and vine whip you senseless until you red all over with the bruising. And never mind the teddy bear looking Ursarings. Give one a hug, itll be the best, and last, hug of your life. He chortled a little bit at his morbid jokes. At least with me youll get more than one. Repeatable, for you. He said and raised their conjoined hands to kiss the back of hers. Were here. He announced, as they came to one wide pond, a stones throw or two across, looking the same as any other. High ridges surrounded it on two-thirds, giving it a nice enclosure. A few gruff looking Stantlers eyed them down before trudging away.
I guess its safe. Dragonair, youre up. Aydin said, releasing the pokemon with a flash of red light into the water. The Dragonair gave a cry of greeting, before diving into the depths. If she came out fighting with anything, well that was just habit. But on the other side, they might find the pond open to brief inhabitation. You want to try out your Gyrados? Can battle with my Alakazam. Not his Dragonair, as she and Kayas Gyrados had been fighting before its capture and it hadnt been going good for his Dragonair. He was sure she could handle a rematch but he wasnt sure. He wasnt keen on losing to Kaya either, whatever their relations might be. He was prideful as a trainer. Alakazam was experienced and could play off the entire match in a defensive way, letting Kaya learn her Gyrados.
gpt
For a brief moment Kaya thought the gesture unwelcome but Aydin's smile and squeeze told her different. It made her beam up at him even as remarked about wanting the day to remain peaceful. Oh she certainly did as well. Though her steps faltered some as he spoke of Team Rocket. Her smile disappeared faster than spring snow. Was he...defending Team Rocket? No! No that was silly. He was just...cautioning against writing them off as simple bandits. Sure they were basically an evil Sylph Co. A very, very evil one at that. "I...guess..." she said slowly. Though it didn't do her heart much good to hear even the slightest possible praise of the notorious group. Well the pair from last night were certainly bandits. Pair of morons really. Just out to steal Pokemon for the real brains behind the operation. Kaya fell quiet, watching the grass at their feet as they walked. It really bothered her to hear Aydin not outright condemn them too.
He went on, changing the subject, about the dangerous Pokemon that dwelled in the surrounding forest. Kaya only managed a half-hearted smile at his morbid joke. She had battled some Ursarings already. Certainly she wouldn't want to give one a hug. Though she couldn't stop a slightly larger, more genuine smile with his quip about his own hugs and the gentle kiss to the back of her hand. How could she stay down and a little mad at him when he was just so damn cute and charming? Maybe she had misunderstood him after all. Though any doubt in her mind was erased at the lovely pond they came upon. Quiet, remote, secluded save for those Stantlers that were quick enough to clear out in a slow, stately manner.
"Yeah, seems, safe," she agree with a nod, slowly turning to look around the whole area. Not just for possible threats but at the beauty of the forest and the quiet little pond. Meanwhile Dragonair was released with glee. Kaya looked up at Aydin and cocked her head some at his offer. Her lips pressed into a little pucker as she considered it. "Maybe in a little while. I still haven't really met Gyrados." She paused and tapped her cheek before giving a small laugh. "Except in battle. He might still be mad at me. So first...Lapras!" The pond population was quickly growing as Lapras came out, a particularly large specimen, with a cry of glee. He was quick to say hello to his new swimming companion, Dragonair. Kaya, meanwhile, released Fearow and Butterfree as well so they could stretch their wings and keep a watch for any trouble. Then she pulled her tanktop off and slid her shorts down. Underneath them she wore a slightly older bikini that was likely stark white once. It had taken a very slight yellowish green shade from age and use but a new bathing suit was a luxury she hadn't been able to afford. Hell it was sometimes hard enough to find a good, hot meal. Her Pokemon tended to get the good stuff first. The top was tied around neck and back. A simple enough cut that just barely cupped her breasts. The bottoms were cut like shorts but short enough that the curve of her bottom peaked out. It had belt loops and clearly once came with a belt that had been lost to the ages.
Kaya paused a moment giving Aydin a sly little grin. Well she had chosen the suit for a reason, she knew it looked pretty good despite its age. With that she scooped up Gyrados' Pokeball , along with a potion bottle, and walked to the water edge. With a gentle toss the ball plopped into the water. With the usual red flash and bright, white light Gyrados appeared with a loud, squealing roar. He thrashed a moment in the water before its large eyes caught sight of Kaya. It leaned down for a closer look. Kaya stared adamantly up at Gyrados, unwavering in the face of those massive jaws and teeth. "Hey there...ea-" she stared but was cut out by another roar, right into her face. The gust of wind whipping her hair back and around. Kaya cringed some at the sound but otherwise was unmoved. Slowly she opened her eyes to meet his once more. "How about we fix those wounds first?" She asked. The Gyrados blinked and rose up, craning its massive head back to the patches of missing scales on his back. "You didn't get those from any of my Pokemon, you already had those." Oh she well remembered seeing his injuries during the battle. Ones her own Pokemon couldn't have inflicted. Scales ripped clean off his expansive back. Gyrados turned and regarded her again, curious and apprehensive. Strange given the fact he could eat her in a single gulp. Slowly Gyrados eased himself down, most of his massive body laying ont he ground. "There's a good boy," Kaya said gently, reaching out to stroke his side. Gyrados made a curious sort of purring sound at the touch. "Ok...let's see those scales..."
With a mightly spring and a hop up she clambered onto his back and moved down to the patches of scales. Some were shattered around, others completely missing. A contusion type wound caused by a might punch. "Poor thing...this will sting a bit..." She sprayed the patch with potion. Gyrados roared in pain and turned, lashing out. Kaya reached up as his face drew near and gave a swift, reproaching tap to his maw. "Hey! No, that is not nice. I know it hurts but this will make it better." Gyrados was clearly taken aback. He was a mighty dragon! King of the seas! Yet the tiny human dared smacked him like some wayward Growlithe? Kaya turned away and continued spraying. Gyrados groaned from the sting but otherwise remained still. Once done Kaya stood and turned to him. "Well done. You are very brave," she praised in a happy, cooing voice. Reaching out she stroked his maw gently. Gyrados was unmoving a moment, clearly in shock over whatever had just happened. Though slowly his eyes closed and he made that gurgling purr again.
"How about a swim then? Just around the pond," she suggestioned to Gyrados. His eyes snapped open and he nodded with what she assumed was a smile. "Aydin! Come on. It is ok, right Gyrados?" Gyrados nodded again with a growling sort of coo. Kaya grinned brightly and hopped up onto his, well, his back but close to his head. Like the neck but she wasn't quite sure where neck and body ended.
human
How best to learn ones Pokemon then through battle? There was no better way to build and strength a bond than by such, as was proven by Aydin and Kayas own budding relationship. Everything she did seem to radiate with gold in his mind, from her smile, to the cock of her head, to how she stepped forward and called out her Lapras. Soon Dragonair had a friend, the two swimming and cruising through the waves with cries of joy. A peaceful scene. But none so relishing as when Kaya began to undress. Aydin watched, a hand in his pocket, the other coming up to his face to correct his glasses just a miniscule fraction, as if it would grant him greater sight and accuracy in look. It didnt, but the viewing pleasure was all the same. And he found himself staring a lot longer at her breasts and budding rear, feeling the urge swell within him. He smiled back at her, shameless in his attentive observation of her physique.
Her clothes were a bit weathered. That would be added to his mental list of how he could garner her affections more. How better than by gifts?
Aydin didnt do much at the start. He stood there, under the sun, while Nidorina leaned against his ankle and his other Pokemon loitered about the pondside. His eyes were for Kaya when she finally released her Gyrados, the massive water-dragon type getting right in her face in fury. He felt the urge to intervene, to protect and ward her, his Alakazam standing by and reading his thoughts, also eager for battle. But there was no need and he knew he had to let Kaya be her own trainer first. And with skill she handled it, first by being resolute, then talking down her unhappy new addition to her team. Pokemon respected mettle and Kaya certainly had it, radiating it far beyond what her lovely figure might seem to protrude. With care and attentiveness, she slowly tamed her Gyrados with an opening move of trust and authority. He was not needed to get involved. Not even when Gyrados responded angrily to the kiss of the potion.
And she smacked it. Aydin couldnt believe his eyes. As a researcher he ought to be recording this somehow. Shame he didnt bring his phone or camera. Yet Team Rocket was not interested in this. They ruled their Pokemon with an iron fist. Perhaps his confrontation way through battle was not the best approach to bonding. Well done. Aydin murmured to himself at Kayas display, feeling the urge to slow clap her achievement. But then she began to beckon him to join her.Him, in his business casual garb, to get up and swim with Gyrados and Kaya.He hadnt dressed for it. It wasnt for himself that he came to hang out around a pond. At first he simply shook his head.
Youre crazy, Kaya. He chuckled, putting both his hands up defensively, palms out. I could never keep up with your twos energies. You go on ahead. Try not to get caught up in any reeds eh? He called out to Kaya, coming nearer to the pondside at least. Gyrados was indeed a large specimen, strong and energetic. Aydin had spent too much time sitting on his butt before a computer, doing calculations, reports, and analysis. When had he ever let go?And what about his nice fancy clothes?He could take off his vest and his collared shirt, roll up the legs on his dress pants, take off his shoes.But ughdid he really want to?
He could also get in close behind Kaya. Arms around her naked abdomen. Feeling her. Touching her. Holding on to her. The desire for that was certainly strong. He lifted one shoe to scratch the back of the calf of his other leg, a display of doubt in regards to his decision making. Youre certainly making a team with him though. You dont want to coddle him too much, even a powerful type like Gyrados. They get too used to living soft.Like me, kind of.But I suppose hes really hurt. He does need a visit to the Pokemon Center in Silver Town. Well make a trip there sometime soon. For you too, Kaya. He added slowly, in a sly voice, smiling up at her.
But he wasnt going for a swim! Not unless she got down and dragged him.And somehow that seemed a lot more likely.If she brought any of her delicious looking skin near him, Aydin wouldnt be able to resist.
gpt
Kaya's head jerked back in slight surprise. Crazy? What was crazy about swimming. Her eyes drifted from crown to toe on Aydin. Oh he hadn't brought swim wear. Even still they were out there to enjoy the steadily warming weather! It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Her face fell into a small pout at his refusal. Why wouldn't he want to come? It wasn't like they were going to do any extreme dives or tricks. Just a little swim around the pond. Heck, she didn't even expect to get too wet. Despite his sassy arrogance Gyrados seemed more than happy to take them around. He had been cooped up in the Pokeball for a while. It would be good for him to stretch his...well...body. Not legs of course.
Aydin's sudden training advice struck her strangely. With all his compliments about her abilities as a trainer he felt the need to advise her? She felt just a little insulted. Maybe he was trying to deflect from whatever it was that made him not want to go with them. Her head tilted some at his sly remark. Well sure she was looking forward to picking up some more clothes. Definitely a new bathing suit. It had been so long since she had gone swimming she had forgotten what it looked like. A little worn from years of use. So many years traveling she made sure to do so lightly and keep things around for a long as possible. No need to waste precious money on a new bathing suit if the one she had was plenty serviceable!
After a moment of consideration she swung a leg over and slipped off Gyrados' back. Just a few steps to trot up to Aydin. She reached out a took a hand with both of hers. "Come on Aydin, it will be fun. Life isn't just about the battles you have with Pokemon or researching them. It's about the fun you have with them. They joy they bring you and you them. Kind of...like a girlfriend," she added with a little giggle that wrinkled her nose up. "Please Aydin, just one lap around the lake. We aren't going to get wet. He'll be the one swimming and we'll be up and out of the water. Right Gyrados?" She asked as she turned to the blue dragon. He nodded with an apparent grin, lightly splashing his tail fins on the glossy water surface. "See? He's excited for it." She gave his hand a light little tug and pulled his arm against her chest.
human
Distractions and excuses were not enough. Kaya wasnt even phased by them, already leaping off her Gyrados and approaching him with a mission in her eyes and very gait. Aydin was already considered backpedalling before she crossed the distance so rapidly, taking no more excuses. Her words were hard to refute and she was right in reminding him he had forgotten some of the core principles of owning Pokemon. They were friends. In fact, you technically didntownthem. It was a partnership. He looked up at Gyrados when even he seemed inclined. Kaya had treated him with respect and look how ready he was.But he simply wasnt dressed for it.These were fancy garb! From the designer stores in Celadon and Goldenrod. Did she not know how long it took for a package of such quality to reach him out here? He might not get a replacement for weeks!
But the way she grabbed his hand and how it ended up against her chest was enough to crush any protest. He looked down at her barely covered breasts and back to her face. That certainly brought him joy and so did she. He could return that for her right. Fine. He huffed through his nose, giving a bemused eyeroll. I suppose I cant say no to dragon riding. Give me a moment, will you? He requested, moving to shed some clothing at least. His shoes with his socks stuffed in them were put aside. He took off his sweater vest and unbuttoned his shirt, until he stood shirtless and naked above the waist. He kept his dress pants on, rolling up the sleeve up to his knees on each leg. He was ready now. Just above water. He confirmed again with Kaya, eyebrow raised at her.
Apparently this was amusing, as many of his Pokemon stopped to watch, which made him nervous. No, this was only a ride on a Gyrados! Like a Lapras, with extra kick. It should be harmless enough. He watched Kaya mount up before getting up behind her, surprised a little at how the scales of a Gyrados felt.Like armour made of diamonds.He didnt think to grab a hold of Kaya before him, like two people riding a motorcycle or something, sitting with his legs around Gyrados long body. It wasnt until the water-type surged forward that he gave a silent gasp, grabbing Kaya around her waist, his own hair breezy as he looked over her shoulder, nearly cheek to cheek with her. If only Dragonair was bigger, we could race! He said to Kaya as the wind screamed past them. This wasnt so bad right?
He even gave a laugh of joy. His bare muscular arms were about her naked waist, flesh pressed to flesh, and sometimes he had to press his lips and lower jaw against the back of her shoulder when speed picked up. He may or may not have left a kiss or imprint to his lips on her skin. His naked chest was to her back, their hearts close by, beating together. It was nice. This wasnt so bad.But Gyrados was only getting warmed up. And wanted to show off what he could do.
gpt
Kayas face split into an ear-to-ear grin when Aydin finally relented. She had caught the look at her chest, pleased that such a plot had worked on him. Perhaps she should have wondered why it was so important for him to go with her. Company maybe or just a desire to see him cut loose a little. Despite him being the first to drop formalities with her he didnt seem the type to just cut loose and relax. Or maybe she just hadnt known him long enough. A romp around the lake on Gyrados was sure to bring out a wilder side, right? She stepped back, releasing his hand, so he could disrobe. Her head tilted with interest as the shirt was shed and his pants rolled up leaving most of him bare. She hadnt any idea how expensive his attire was not being particularly familiar with fashions and designers. Just above the water, she said with a nod and a grin. She was quick to turn and trot back to Gyrados, jumping up with a little wriggle to seat herself just behind the behemoths head.
Gyrados sat calmly as the humans hopped up onto his back. Kaya glanced back at Aydin with a bright grin, her heart hammering excitedly. Riding Lapras was easy and comfortable, lounging on his massive back and enjoying the water. Sure he had speed but nothing like Gyrados, at least thats what kaya had heard. She sure did love speed. Rapidash tossed her head as she, like the other Pokmon, watched the humans settle onto the new addition to the team. Alright, lets go! Kaya shouted with excitement. Gyrados gave a roar of agreement and whirled himself around, darting forward into the water. Kayas hair whipped back with the speed as they dashed across the placid pond. She could feel Aydin suddenly grab her from behind with the jolting start. Aydins shout about racing made her grin. A race would certainly be fun but she was also sure Gyrados could win.
They dashed around the pond, Gyrados showing off his speed. Misty spray couldnt be helped as the water was sliced through by the massive Pokemon. Kaya glanced back at Aydins joyous laughter. Her grin turned all the brighter at the sound. While she held onto Gyrados he held on to her. Strong arms wrapped around his waist, she could feel the excited pounding of his heart on her back. Her own thundered in joy. The sheer speed of Gyrados in the water was completely unmatched, almost like riding Rapidash. Though she had never been on Rapidash when she hit top speeds. Kaya was very certain she wouldnt be able to hang on. If Lapras was a comfortable, luxurious yacht then Gyrados was a formula racing speedboat. Kaya laughed along with Aydin, enjoying the wind whipping through her long purple hair and the light mist spraying them.
Gyrados gave an odd, sudden lurch, his face nearly at the water, the humans feet skimming the surface. Gyrados Kaya warned but the Pokemon was not perfectly keen on listening. He gave a sudden burst of speed and his body launched out of the water. All three were airborne. Kayas guts dropped to her toes at they reached the apex of his leap. What Kaya would have normally delighted in suddenly shot bolts of anxiety through her. Aydin was going to be so mad. There was no stopping it. Gyrados turned at the apex of the jump and plummeted face first to the water. The humans would find themselves lifted a little off his back as the water rushed up towards them. With a mighty splash they all dove right into the water, fully submerged. Kaya clung to Gyrados as he raced along to the bottom of the pond, skimming the silty floor and stirring up a couple Shellder.
Knowing the humans couldnt breathe underwater he launched himself back up to the surface. They broke the surface and Gyrados slowed himself to a calm pace. He gave a staccato roar as if laughing. Kaya spluttered a moment, her hair everywhere like she had turned into a purple Tangela. With a little cough and sniff she pushed her hair back off her face. That wasnt very nice she groused at Gyrados before turning to Aydin. Her stomach was in knots. He had not wanted to get wet and now they were both completely drenched. Iuhsorry. Are you ok? She asked quietly with a little grimace.
human
It went well enough to begin with. Aydin squeezed his thighs about the body of Gyrados, keeping himself as balanced and placed as he can be given the momentum rushing against him. He held on to Kaya, tight about her naked waist, feeling their skin grate together so smoothly. Her hair whipped back, tickling his nose and the sides of his face. It was fun enough, if it remainedtamelike this. How confident did Kaya really feel about her new Gyrados? It was a Mount Silver breed. They were wild and would always remain so in their hearts to some degree. Aydin just couldnt shake off the feeling of some dread. What he thought would happenit was going to happen.
In its element, the water-pokemon was fast. They were used to traversing oceans and seas, miles and miles, like this. Aydin felt his heart leap and jolt with each pick up in speed. His arms flexed every so now as he would tighten his grip around Kaya, hug-squeezing her, in brief bouts of discomfort and fear Aydin got whenever the speed really went up. He didnt laugh or shout as much in glee, starting to wish this would be over so he could go back comfortably to solid ground, in his clothes, respectable like the scientist and researcher he was supposed to be.And her employer.There was a certain sense of dignity he was supposed to uphold!
I think Im slipping. Aydin managed to say, looking out from Kayas curtain of hair just to see what he feared coming to pass. He felt his heart drop to the pit of his stomach as Gyrados leapt into the air, before coming down at the surface of water in the slowest possible sensation. Shit- he managed to exclaim as he grabbed Kaya as tight as he could, crossing his arms over her chest, elbows tucked to her sides, as he held on for dear life. It wouldnt be more than a severe discomfort in his new clothes butwell, thats what he was trying to avoid. The cold shock of water submerged them and everything feltdull and heavy. He could swim of course but again, it wasnt what he came here to do.
He didnt know how they went about below water. He had shut his eyes. But soon enough they launched back up, Gyrados roaring its return. Aydin slowly opened his eyes and ran a hand over his face, not realizing his other hand was grabbing at Kayas breast. He quickly removed it, wiping his eyes, feeling the cold water trickle down his flesh and soak his dress pants terribly. Aydin groaned in response at first, flicking his hands to the side, as if dispersing those few droplets would get him dryer to any degree. Did wetouch the bottom of the pond? Damn. Aydin muttered, looking up at her with a lopsided half-grin. He didnt feel particularly angry at her, even though she coerced him to this. I think I like to get off now. He simply said and clambered off when it seemed safe, half waddling through the shallows to the dry grass.
The sun at least felt warm. His pants were ruined though.
I can see how that is exciting. Ive been too long away from the coasts. Im sure this is an extreme sport somewhere in the world. Aydin commented to Kaya. I see where you got your love of speed from. But Im more of a he glanced at her Rapidash, to his Alakazam, thinker. But I think you look good on that dragon there. He said to her with a grin, bringing up the fingers of both hands to snap a fake-picture of her. But he shuddered next, still cold from the shock of water.
He picked up his sweater vest, using it to dab at his wet body, the sun taking too slow by his reckoning to dry him off. He grimaced though when he saw the wet stains on his fancy garment. Still, there was no inkling to blame Kaya. If he really hadnt wanted to go, he wouldnt have. He allowed him to go, for her, not because of her. It was nice to hug her though. Why dont you practice more with your mate? Im going to rest for a bit. Keep an eye on the others. He said, his small group of Pokemon loitering near the shallows. Golduck looked ready to race Gyrados, even indicating Kaya should climb on his back, with his scaly muscles on all. He wasnt the only one showing off as Aydins bending and movement under the sun caused his muscles to dance on his flesh too.
gpt
With things calm again Kaya registed Aydin's death grip on her breast. Her eyebrows quirked but he seemed to realize it too and quickly removed it. If they hadn't had the night they'd had last night she might have lapsed into panicked embarrassment. She turned some to look at him as he tried to flick the water away as if it would help him dry off. He was grinning at least and his grin soothed her worries of him getting mad at her for Gyrados's behavior. Gyrados lowered his long body when Aydin declared he wanted off. Kaya scooted forward a little to let Aydin slip down and waddle uncomfortably to the shore. The sight was a little amusing but she bit the inside of her cheek to keep from grinning.
Her head tilted as he spoke and she gave him a bemused sort of smile. She supposed it made sense. He was certainly more calm and reserved, smart and cool, than she was. Rash, impetuous, with a need for speed. Though when he told her she looked good up there, even feigning taking a picture, she couldn't help but laugh appreciatively. Even going so far as striking a little pose: chest out, hands in her hair. Though his shiver of cold made the amusement vanish. She looked over to Rapidash and jerked her head towards Aydin. Rapidash seemed to get the hint and sidled closer to Aydin. The fire of her mane, tail, and feathering would help Aydin warm up at least, dry him off some even as he tried to use his sweater vest to dry himself. Kaya was still blissfully unaware that most of his clothes were likely dry clean only.
"Alright, if you're sure," she said with a small shrug. She wouldn't push for him to come out and play some more. He was already soaked so getting wet again wouldn't really hurt him. Still she kept quiet. Golduck's posturing and offer made her laugh a little. She reached down and stoked his head a couple of times. Though she couldn't help but look up as Aydin moved around. One hell of a sight with those fancy pants and no shirt on. Kaya bit her lower lip in appreciation before managing to tear her eyes away. "Well come on if you want Golduck," she said with a little wave. "Alright Gyrados...no limits let's see what you can do." Back out on the water Gyrados didn't hold back. Lapras and Dragonair played along, racing around the pond stirring up more waves than the shores were used to. Gyrados was fast. Almost as fast in the water as Rapidash was on land. It was exhilarating, leaping and diving. Lapras was quick but not nearly as agile. At first it seemed like Gyrados was trying to throw or frighten Kaya but she just whooped and yelled in delight. While it confused Gyrados he seemed to enjoy himself, roaring in delight, spraying water. Careful not to spray at the pokemon on shore with Aydin.
They were out in the water for nearly an hour before the pokemon tired out, Gyrados more than the others. All of them were happy to go back and rest in the shallows. Gyrados laid his great body in the reeds and Kaya slid off. Her legs wobbled a second, tired from hanging on to the wild ride, but she recovered and made her way over to Aydin. Rapidash had been hanging out nearby and slid even closer to Kaya as the girl shivered some in the cool air, her lips a little blue from being in the cold water. "Maybe a little rest before going back?" She said with a tired grin before sitting in the soft grass, taking Aydin's hand to encourage him to sit with her. Rapidash laid nearby to let her flame keep the partially naked humans warm. Kaya flipped her hair over the shoulder opposite from Aydin so it wouldn't get him wet again, she should have brought a comb and hair tie. "This was really fun," she said with a bright grin. "Thanks for bringing me out here. It's a little cold in the mountains but...I'm starting to think I really like it here." Though her sly grin might tell him she enjoyed it for more reasons than just the lakes and scenery.

There was no disinclination about sitting there on the grass, shirtless and with soaked pants, and watching the Pokemon at play and rest. Aydin must have done it a thousand times before, none with any real significance, though happy moments all the same. But having Kaya here too added a level of energy like no other, for the Pokemon as well as him. But the energy he got wasvastly different. And while there were many strong and powerful Pokemon darting about, he had his eyes only for Kaya the entire time, her hair radiant and beautiful, her body ravishing, and her laugh and smile all contagious. For an hour they played and an hour he watched, feeling as if it had gone by all too fast. He scarcely noticed the heat of Rapidash nearby. The heat he got just from the thought of Kaya was enough.
Soon it came to an end and Aydin rose to help, pulling out the Pokeballs to return the creatures to rest and shelter. That took a short while though, leaving a few still out and about. A little rest? What have we been doing all this time then? Aydin joked back, though he consented to remaining, seating next to her again, practically hip to hip. He put his arm lazily about her lower back, his hand resting on the other side of her hip. Kaya, this is your job remember? He said, though it was another jest. Youre welcome. Its quite an easy job, if its all fun like this. Youll get used to it though. Its beautiful, empty, and while it may be cold, there is always someone to make it better. Aydin said to her, looking at the side of her face.
He reached up to brush his fingertips along the side of her brow. Thank you for staying here with me. Aydin then commented, as his fingers went down her cheek then along her jaw, until they were under her chin. Then he turned her faceso he could kiss it. It was meant to be a short one but that didnt work out, as it always did. He kissed her longer, deeper, breaking apart but soon drawn back in to refresh the taste of her lips in his mind. The longer we stay, the less rest we are going to get I think. Aydin whispered to her. Yes, they should head back. And when they did, Aydin took his sweater vest and put it around Kayas shoulders like a shawl, while he wore his collared shirt loosely with half the buttons still undone. It was most unlike him.
The manor was still there and everything as it was left. Dinner time, for the Pokemon first, then the humans last. Tomorrow we will go into town. Your Gyrados should get those scars checked out at the center, while a few of mine need some proper care about our fight the other night. Aydin said to Kaya, looking at the burned trees and grass. A single season and it would be back to normal. The forest always mended itself. And my employee needs a new uniform to wear around the house. Only proper her boyfriend pays for it. He then offered with a grin. No buts. Were going tomorrow. Aydin decided, looking over to Kaya, reaching over to squeeze her rear encouragingly to this end.

Kaya crinkled her nose at Aydin for his quip. Sure he was lounging on the banks the whole time all rested up. Admittedly she'd been having a lot of fun with the water pokemon. It had been ages since she had been able to swim so much. Growing up on Cinnabar meant a lot of time was spent swimming and playing in the sea around the small volcanic island. Though he didn't seem too disinclined at the idea, just for a bit, to sit comfortably together. Kaya smiled happily as they sat and his arm came around her. It was peaceful and beautiful. She hadn't felt such a sense of easy happiness in a very long time. Of course sitting there with Aydin made the world of difference. Her hand rested lightly on his thigh as they sat there, just enjoying the nice day and certainly the company.
When he spoke up again she smiled some, feeling his fingers dance along the curve of her face. "I like being here with you," she said softly as his fingers found their way to her chin and he turned her to face him. Her stomach did a small giddy flip and her heart doubled its beating as he leaned in to her. A tiny, happy sound rumbled in her throat as they kissed. Her hand raised to lay against his neck. Yes the world, for her at least, was just perfect. When he broke away with finality and his whispered suggestion she gave him a sly, amused grin. "Not a big fan of observers anyways," she said with a glance toward Rapidash and Pikachu. Pikachu's head was cocked in confusion but Rapidash seemed to have an amused gleam in her regal eye. Kaya laughed quietly as they got up. Her bathing suit was too damp to bother putting her clothes back on despite the chill that still lingered in the mountains. Aydin was already a step ahead. Kaya beamed an appreciative smile at him as his sweater vest was draped around her shoulders. Absolutely perfect.
The trek back was easy enough despite being damp. The destruction from the previous night loomed before them. Kaya felt an odd mingling of sadness and pride at the site. Team Rocket was downright evil but they had chased them off, beaten them soundly. Emphasis on the beaten. She didn't realize the smug grin that dawned on her face at the memory of that frizzy haired bitch's bruised up face. Though what happened after...even better. The smug grin melted away as she glanced over at Aydin replaced with a quiet sort of happiness and even some adoration. Well she certainly hadn't expected such events when she first took the job but she was giddy with delight at how it was all unfolding. She followed him into the manor more than ready to change into something a bit warmer than a damp bathing suit and his sweater vest. Just as she was going to head to her room to change she paused and looked up at Aydin as he made his declarations.
It was kind of a lot at once and for a moment Kaya just blinked at Aydin. So ready to go to town all of a sudden and see to it the pokemon went to see nurse Joy. Buy her some new clothes too. Though his cheeky grin disarmed her startled, wide-eyed look to a somewhat shy smile. No one had ever offered something like to to her before and it was an odd feeling. "Uhm...yeah ok..." she agreed. "Sorry just not used to...this...all of this. I don't really buy things too often and never really had a...boyfriend before." Her hand pushed through her hair, bangs falling wetly on her forehead. By that reaction alone getting her to pick out a damn thing might be like pulling the teeth out of a Gyrados. Though it just added to the giddiness really. Aydin really was quite perfect. "Right! Feed the pokemon," she suddenly said as if she had forgotten. With a small laugh at herself she went to change really quick and get to it.
It had been a long, fun day and the Pokemon were more subdued than usual. Probably tired from all the play and the day out. No major scuffles over who's turn it was. As always it took quite a while given the diverse diets and having to feed in specific groups or singles. It was nearly dark by the time she finished up. Thankfully it was dawning on summer so the days would only continue to get longer. Part of her dreaded the fall and winter but that was ages away. Had to enjoy the summer while it was there. Once done she headed in to help with dinner if it needed any help. The evening was just as peaceful and Kaya couldn't help but feel a warm, rosy glow as they ate their dinner and cleaned up after. It was still early but the pokemon would need to be fed before they left for town and it would take a good part of the day to get there. "Should probably get to bed early," she said as she gathered up Pikachu to head to her room. "Good night Aydin," she said brightly and kissed his cheek before heading to turn in.

Aydin couldnt blame Kaya for not being knowledgeable on the nature of relationships. Being an adventurer didnt leave much time for interpersonal relationships with others, especially if they werent doing the same. But Aydin was sedentary now, with foundations and a home, and he could pursue a relationship. And why not Kaya as well? Its easy, actually. You just smile and accept the wonderful gifts I bury you under. And you justno, youre right. It is hard in accepting gifts and not knowing what to say or do sometimes. Well good luck with that. He chuckled at her, not intending to make it easier for her at all in either case. Besides, it wasnt going to be mostly luxury he bought for her, but everyday use items and things made for long lasting functionality. He wanted her as comfortable as she can be while she stayed with him.And worked for him.Consider it a bonus. He didnt say combating Team Rocket was apart of her job description.
Back at the manor things seemed to have fallen into a perfect routine. Kaya managed the many Pokemon of his that needed attention or feeding, while Aydin could focus on his research. The rest of the evening went smoothly. Everyone was fed. There was no sign of danger. Kaya prepared a wonderful meal as always and Aydin gobbled it up, leftovers and all. She was right about calling it an early night, especially if they wanted to make an early departure to get to Silver Town while there was still light out. Who knew what dangers they might face on the way. The manor would have to fend for itself in his absence but he had a budget for that. A lot of financial resources actually, that Kaya didnt need to concern herself with. He had it all taken care of.
He wasnt ready to clock out early though. Kaya gave him a kiss and he returned it, muttering Night as he moved to watch the television for a time. Nidorina and the rest had settled for sleep as well after their busy day and Aydin figured he would as well, though his body was wide awake. It seemed such a vigorous day had jump started his body in ways he had not known for years. He thought about it, holding on to Kaya, feeling her flesh and skin to his own and everything. And off she went to her own bedroom! She really didnt know what it was like to have a boyfriend at all. Truly. Especially under the same bed. They had shared one the night before. It felt weird not to do it the night after. The guestroom must be cold.
So Aydin went there, pausing outside the door a moment to listen, before he opened it and went in. Kaya? He said, more to announce himself than to beckon her to anything. He closed the door behind him and came quickly to the bedside, grabbing her face and giving her a quick kiss on the lips. It must get lonely down here, huh. He remarked in the darkness, already partially undressing himself, until he remained in sweats and nothing else. I hope you dont mind if I join you. He snickered as he sneaked under the blankets next to her, wrapping his arms about her. He used his hands to feel her out, brushing hair from her face, letting her use his arm as a pillow under her head while his other settled on her thigh.
Lot of excitement today. Im afraid its still coursing in my veins. Your fault of course. He murmured to her, giving her some more kisses, hoping to goad and encourage her to open up. His legs intertwined with hers below, bringing his groin with his semi-hardening manhood in contact to her midsection. His hand caressed up her back then back down again. And when it came in contact with her undergarment, it began to slip it down her legs as well, until his hand felt her bare ass and thighs, squeezing where it could. It was hard to show appreciation with their Pokemon all about. Maybe he should give her a helper with getting to sleep, peppering her about her face and neck with kisses, pushing her onto her back so he had greater access to her chest, which his hands moved to bunch up above her breasts as he tasted those mounds soon after.
But not for long as he continued his show of appreciation, kissing next her taut abdomen and slender torso, circling about her bellybutton then straight down, further and further, until he came to the work his hand had already started, finding her womanhood bared and open for him. In the darkness he shifted his body down on the bed until he hovered above it with his face, beginning to plant the gentlest of kisses there, before his tongue began to taste the secret juices that lay just within those nether lips. His strong arms circled under and around her thighs, to hug them to his ears and cheeks, as he began to drill deeper with his long tongue, seeking the most exquisite juices in her depths.

Kaya was quick to settled down to sleep. She could see the faint glow of Rapidash outside the window. Always nearby to provide comforting light. The bed seemed rather empty given the previous night. Maybe she should have waited and just turned in with Aydin. Well she didn't want to push anything too much. With a little huffing sigh she wriggled down into her pillow and curled up as she normally did to sleep. Though she was on the fringes of falling asleep she heard her door open and Aydin's gentle call. She grumbled a sleepy response even as his steps carried him quickly to the bedside. As his hands found her face, his lips her own, she was suddenly awake again grinning into the soft kiss. "A little," she said as she scooted back in the bed to give him room as he slid beneath the blankets with her, uncurling her legs to nestle up to his lithe body.
She gave him an amused little snort at his comment. "My fault, really?" Though she was quick to forget the little joke as he leaned in and kissed her again. Oh she was more than open to it, returning his kisses and wrapping her legs with him. She shivered at the press of the warm hardness of him against her stomach. His hands left scorching trails along her skin, all the way down to her rump and thighs as he held and squeezed her generous curves. Her arms slipped around him, nudged herself closer to him until he started to roll over her. Kaya didn't resist and was soon flat on her back with his warm, hard weight above her. Little happy sighs and moans slipped passed her lips as he kissed his way along her face and neck. Down and down, pushing up her shirt to grave her breasts with his lips. An appreciative hiss sucked passed her teeth, nipple hardening under his touch. Though he didn't linger.
Her body wriggled in excitement as his lips trailed further and further down her body. Small hands were up and ranking through his hair, lightly caressing his cheek until he traveled far enough away she could only reach the top of his head. Her hips gave a little buck with a hissing moan as he kissed her and delved into her with his tongue. Purple eyes shuttered at the sensation, her back arching from the bed as he dove and tasted her. Hit warm, wet tongue coaxing a sweet symphony from her body. Though her hips were imprisoned they still wriggled and bucked in delight with his delicious torments. Nails danced on his scalp as her breath grew unsteady, a pressure building in her abdomen. Sparks and embers raced across her flesh, fed and fueled by Aydin's attentions to her body. The harder he delved the shorter her breaths became, turning to a sharp, panting gasp. She grew dizzy, nearly delirious as the sparks turned to bolts and embers into fanned flames down to her very marrow. Then all at once her body seized with a high, strangled cry, fading to a staccato. Her body burst with lightening and flame, collapsing into violent shuddering. Kaya's chest heaved from the wave that had rocked her to her core. Then she could relax, her chest rising and falling rapidly, bones made of jelly. "Aydin...god...." She panted and huffed a small, happy laugh.
Slowly she managed to move, sitting up and laying her hands under his jaw, which had to be sore, and drew him up to kiss him. Her tongue met his as she drew him back over to her and rolled him onto his back. Legs straddling over his legs she worked his sweats down just enough to free him from their confines. She scooted up, her warm and wet core brushing his length. With little reprieve she ran her hand down his stomach and soft fingers encircled his shaft. Tip to base she stroked him, teasing the head with her thumb. With a little grin she lined him up with her and eased him inside of her, never taking her eyes off him. She wanted to see his expression as she took him into her body. Slowly, inch by savory inch, she guided him in until her bottom collided with his hips. She released a low, shaking breath, reveling at the feel on him inside of her. Her hips rocked against him, gently teasing him, before she leaned over and took his lips once more. Gripping his sides with her legs she rocked into an easy, rolling rythm, his length sliding out of her the smallest bit before slipping back in. Slow and easy at first but she was quick to pick up the pace all the while devouring his lips, trailing her teeth and tongue across his jaw and neck.

He didnt think he would get such a reaction from a surprise visit like this. Aydin knew Kaya could be a nervous fish at times, despite how fierce and stubborn she was in battle. Now though he coaxed her to open and spread like a flower in bloom. And what sweet nectar flowed from its core! Whatever anxiety he might have at her feelings over this were soon gone with the wind. She moaned so ravishingly and there was nothing that Aydin thought of more than the memory of those sounds. Her thighs and hips shifted and moved about his face, pressing at him withneed, and there was no better sensation than to be wanted like this. He pushed her and tasted her with his tongue until he had her shuddering like a bowl of pudding in an earthquake. Aydin felt the explosion of taste, drank it all, and kept on going until she beckoned his name.
At her movements he drew up more, crawling up her body again until his mouth found hers. The kiss of course was a distraction as her unpredictably strong feminine hands seized him and rolled him aside, onto his back, leaving him breathless for a turn. Aydin smirked however, hands moving to Kayas hips and sides as she moved over him, shifting and wiggling to aid her in her work in undressing him. She would find his manhood already erect and springing out in a desire for action. He watched her face though as her hands worked, stroking him, shooting electrifying pulses of pleasure that were numbing and shocking to his own core. His mouth parted to silently gasp and groan, his eyes asking the question that she soon indulged in action, speaking all the words he could have needed. With a little lift, some lining, and soon she sank down upon his shaft.
And like taking a mighty breath of air before a plunge into deep water, his lips parted to inhale, before sharply and explosively exhaling through his nose. His eyelids became heavy and studded with pleasure, always watching her lovely face, or what he could make of it in the darkness. The next inhale was not so easy. Nor was the one after. His whole body heaved with the pressure, panting rapidly as she began to rock and sway upon him. Aydin stroked his hands along her sides, onto her thighs which he felt flex and dance with her every movement. One swept up her back and into her hair when she leaned down to kiss him. Life was good, kissing her, while his own hips bucked up and swayed with her motions. So much for an early start to Silver Town tomorrow
But then he nudged her back, hands on her shoulders, before falling down to hold her breasts. Youre going easy. He taunted her. You rode Gyrados with more enthusiasm than this. Aydin chuckled, moving to give one of her stiff pink nipples a little pinch. See, theyre looking through the window. He said and pointed. And when Kaya did look, Aydin grabbed her sides and proceeded to roll them over again, until she was back beneath him. I lied. He whispered down at her, leaning down to kiss her lips but faking that too and drawing up again, hands coming heavily down either side of her shoulders, allowing him to leverage himself to drive into her. Harder. And faster. Slick, wet noises sounded from below as Aydin pushed himself hard, spearing into Kayas depths, until the sensation overcame him and he let out a broken cry of her name, growling it practically, as his seed gushed into her depths. He felt upon her, panting, and hugging her close to his warm body.
We aregoing to have to change our daily schedule and timings if we keep this up. He chuckled lightly, kissing her face, forehead, cheeks, and then lips. He shifted to the side of her, one arm lazily across her midsection, as he looked at her shape in the darkness. This bed was narrow and not as comfy as his. But it was far too soon to move in together likethat. Was he rushing this? He never felt like this for a woman before. She was so selfless and good hearted. A sharp contrast to what he known inTeam Rocket. He felt sometimes like he had TR plastered right on his naked chest. She will see itone day.
Maybe he wanted to rush all the goodness of this relationship as quickly as he could, before that discovery came. And when it would all end, he feared.
He bent his elbow to prop his face up, while his other hand caressed randomly over her abdomen. How else can I take care of you? He then mused aloud, diverting his own thoughts. No, I dont want to hear excuses. Just answers. How else canItake care ofyou? Aydin inquired, letting his head fall so he could dig his arm under her body and yank her close to him like a living teddy bear. Their naked bodies molded and there was enough heat between them to leave the covers bunched at their feet.

Kaya's every sense was tuned to Aydin. The taste of his lips, the feel of his body against and inside of her, the heady smell of sex in the air as she rode him, and the sounds of their bodies coming together as he matched her for each stroke. She thought of nothing beyond those primal urges as her hips moved with him; wanting every inch of him. His light push broke her out of the reverie and her eyes opened to look down at him with his teasing quip. Her hips stilled a moment as her eyebrows rose in challenged amusement. She thought to sit up and show him just how enthusiastic she could be but he distracted her. Her head whipped to the side in surprise. Why would the Pokemon be watching?
He was fast, grabbing her and rolling them back over until she was looking up at him. Kaya blinked a moment before laughing at his plot. "Tease," she hissed back up at him. Her head tilted as he came down but, again, he was just teasing. Then all at once he revved back up, hard and fast. Kaya let out a sound somewhat like a yelp and a moan of pleasure in one. Her hands jumped to his sides as he speared himself deep within her. Long legs wrapped around his hips, leveraging up to meet his strokes. The sudden growl of her name sent a little excited shiver through her as she felt him twitch within her. Then collapse. Both of them slick with sweat and panting. Kaya's arms slipped around him as he laid over her, holding her close. Her hands glided and danced gently on the smooth flesh of his naked back.
"Or just forgo sleep," she responded with a light laugh as he peppered her with warm kisses. Kaya shivered some as he slipped out of her and rolled to his side. Her head lolled over to look at him in the semi-darkness, her fingers brushing over his chest as his own danced over her flat, smooth stomach. His question made her eyebrows shoot up in surprise. Her mouth opened to object: she didn't need taking care of. He was quick to silence any sort of rebuttal, his question more of a demand. Kaya stared a moment even as he gathered her up to pull her close to him. She huffed a happy little sigh, nuzzling her nose against his collar bone. Honestly she hadn't a clue how to answer his question. She had spent so long taking care of herself and her own Pokemon she didn't know how another person could take care of her.
After a few silent minutes Kaya wriggled up higher so their faces were level. She could barely seem him in the dark but she hardly needed to. A hand raised and laid gently on his jaw, her thumb stroking his cheek. "You could learn to knock," she said with a teasing laugh before leaning over to kiss him. A quick, sweet little kiss. When she pulled away she rested her forehead against his with another content sigh. "Just like this...I think. I've been so used to being alone, just with the Pokemon...I'm just really happy here, with you." Kaya paused a moment before huffing a quiet laugh. "But if you want a material answer....I guess....uhm....I've always wanted to go on a real date or to an Onsen." She shrugged and laughed at herself. "Or would you prefer hearing me say I love jewelry and shiny things?" Now she was just teasing him.
"But really...just be honest and open with me about anything, don't hide things from me. Loyalty and honesty I guess is all I would really want," she finally said with a light shrug. "But I feel like it doesn't really need to be said. I trust you."

It was hard not to laugh at the considerable puzzlement that washed over Kayas face. That was good, wasnt it? Aydin could surprise and keep her on her toes. He liked that, in a teasing way, as she so easily chided him for not a moment ago. They nuzzled close together, naked bodies so warm against one another, as she pondered the question. It seemed it may have been too much, as she could only voice a teasing protest of her own as she thumbed her face, referring to his blatant entrance without knock. Yet she was more than content with just being with him, being with someone, and Aydin could understand that. Loneliness might have its virtue, but no one wanted to be alone. He too could prize this over any amount of gifts or service.
Yes. He also added when she mused over an actual answer, his hand stroking up her thigh and grasping at her rear. It certainly makes it easier to pick gifts. He joked over receiving an answer in the form of jewelry and trinkets. Dinner dates, Onsen dates, spending an evening in a hotel or resort, the fact being that they were simply together, it didnt feel so hard for him to do. But what she said last struck a nerve deeper than any. It was not one of love or lust, but of worry and fear. Loyalty and honesty. How hard was that? Owing loyalty to another, and having to lie about it, because it was not socially acceptable, Aydin knew that would be a problem.
He ought to just tell her. Confess it. He didnt do anything actually bad or criminal, to others. But how does one put that in a sentence? He couldnt. And so, he just embraced her closer for assurance. She trusted him, and he was already abusing it. He just couldnt think about it in this moment. He didnt want to. I trust you too, Kaya. Everything will be alright. He murmured as he pressed kisses to her, as if to silence any further questioning of that. Who was he really telling? Himself? Or her?
Night passed in loving bliss. Morning came and despite being the chief, Aydin was a lot more lazier in having shared a bed with Kaya. He could have easily tried to convince her to remain bedded until early noon at least. Yet they couldnt. They were going to Silvertown! Just for a day and a night, perhaps returning by the evening of the following day. After the morning feed Aydin went about with locking the estate down in his absence. Some pokemon were house broken and could persist within, especially the more intelligent psychic ones. Besides, Typhlosion would remain as well, burrowed nearby, and could handle any intruder or wandering wild pokemon from disturbing the place due to his territorial nature. The rest were put into their pokeballs, to be taken to the Pokemon Centre for proper healing and rest.
It was a several hour walk. Aydin had no vehicle.How did Kaya make the trip?Mount a horse-pokemon. Like with the Gyrados, he was unsure and uneasy. Uncomfortable maybe. No way. Last time I rode a fire pokemon, it ended badly. Especially for my clothes. In fact it always ends badly. He complained. Rhydon was perhaps the only other pokemon he might ride with some comfort, only because the rock-type was slow and arduous. We got legs for walking. Look, I called ahead and booked the reservations, at the resort. We can walk and still make it. He tried to assure her. But there was no stopping it. It was much more logical to ride with Kaya on Rapidash. With every other pokemon in their ball, with Nidorina and Pikachu having many niches and places between the two humans to rest, it was just the three of them left. Kaya, Aydin, and Rapidash.
Aw, heck. Fine. Whats another Burn Heal on the grocery list anyways. He eventually caved, though he would need a strong hand to get up on the horse-pokemons back behind Kaya. Again, with his arms to grasp her firmly around her midsection, to hang on for dear life. Theyll be there in half the time.
