Pokemon: An Icy Path

Chapter 56

~Bea POV~

I watch as my two friends leave the Pokecenter together, practically joined at the hip. I just have to shake my head at the two of them. They make a fantastic team and complement each other well. Though I wish they would cut down on the flirting. As much fun I had with them the other night, I don’t really fit in the dynamic so when they get going I feel a bit left out. 

With a small sigh and shake of my head, I clear my thoughts and plan out my day. I need to practice with Machoke and see about getting Makuhita up to snuff. Eevee as well, that adorable fluff ball is hell-bent on learning fighting moves. I’m not even sure if Eevee can learn any fighting moves.

I let out Eevee from its pokeball and head out of the Pokecenter and into the warm summer weather of Kanto. The warm morning sun greets me as it peeks over the roofs of the city. It still feels strange to me that the temperature floats around twenty-five degrees; I am still used to the weather in Galar being no higher than twenty on a good day.

 Once I leave the confines of the city, I close my eyes and tip my head back to enjoy the feel of the sun on my skin as I walk. I walk like this for a few minutes while Eevee investigates the road. Before long, I turn off the roadway and into the tree line, where I reach the clearing I found yesterday. 

I take a quick glance around. If there are any Pokemon that have moved in, I would find some other place to train. Doing a quick check to see if I am going to disturb anyone, I nod my head to see that it is clear. I release the rest of my team and go about setting them up to train with each other. I let Machoke and Hitmontop work with Makuhita, I want to see if the two of them can quickly get her up to snuff.  I am going to work with my little fluff ball, I want to see if he can learn to fight like the rest of us.

“Alright, Eevee, how about I teach you how to fight?”

“Vee?” He looks up at me and tilts his head to the side. A moment later, his tail flicks in a happy motion as he bounces up into a ‘standing’ position. “Vee!” I smile at him and start going through different moves I think would fit. I don’t bother looking up what kind of moves an Eevee can learn, as it would be interesting if I can teach him to fight like my team. 

Once he has a couple of moves down, I have him start to attack me. I easily block each of his moves as the hits feel feather-light against me. I glance over at my other three Pokemon and find that my two evolved teammates are giving Makuhita a run for her money. I keep an eye on them as we ‘spar’ for a bit longer. Noticing that Makuhita and Eevee are starting to get winded, I call for the team to take a rest.

Makuhita looks at me as if I told her the worst news in the world. I giggle at her as I watch her slump slightly and follow my command. To make up for it, I nudge Eevee to join their group. Watching him join the group and hop onto Makuhita makes me smile as I find a tree near the edge of the clearing and sit down with my back leaning against the trunk.

I close my eyes and enjoy the warming light of the sun as it climbs higher towards its zenith. It’s days like these that make you feel lazy for no real reason. I listen to the sound of the light breeze dancing through the leaves, my Pokemon talking to each other nearby, and the sound of…

I quickly sit up straight and strain my ears to try and figure out what that sound is. It is like something fleshy is being hit by something wet, like getting hit by a wet sponge or konjac. The sound is unnatural to hear when I should be alone, so maybe I should check it out… No, no, I should not check out that weird noise coming from the forest. Isn’t that how people get killed in horror movies?

I make my way through the underbrush quietly. I have to pause every now and then to make sure I am headed in the right direction. As I get closer to the sound, I notice that it is somewhat steady and rhythmic, like it is doing something over and over again. Before long, I push myself out of another bush, only to be greeted by a very unexpected sight.

Within the clearing, there is a small river that flows along one side. Beside the water there is a Vaporeon that looks to be sleeping and a Gardevoir sitting beside it. A few steps away is a towering bundle of vines, which seems to be the source of the sound I was hearing as the vines are currently holding a naked girl aloft.

The vine-tentacles wrap the girl’s limbs, pulling them out in a spread-eagle position. The ends of the vine-tentacles for her arms continue onto her chest and grip her bountiful breasts. Yet my eyes travel towards the vines around her legs, where I find the tips of the vines disappearing into the girl’s body. My jaw drops open as I watch the vines move in and out of her as her mouth opens in a silent scream. 

I watch her squirm and quiver in pleasure, her long mousy brown hair swaying with each little movement. Her peach-colored skin glistened in the rays of sunlight that filtered through the leaves overhead. The scene demands my whole attention even as the girl seems to notice me, and I see her wink her bright green eyes at me.

Damn, this is hot.

The scene in front of me continued on for a few more moments until the girl tied up, is gently set down on the ground and released. She lays there with a glassy look in her eyes and a dopey smile on her face, obviously enjoying the moment. I don’t blame her, though. Anyone who went through that would either be traumatized or satisfied.

“A-are you alright?” I ask as I snap out of my stupor. My question seems to bring the girl out of her blissed out state as she sits up, causing her large chest to sway in an eye-catching way, and nod at me with a dopey smile on her face. “You weren’t being attacked, were you?” She shakes her head in response.

I stand there awkwardly, not sure what to do. I was worried that someone was getting attacked, but instead found someone exploring themselves fully. I scratch the back of my head as I glance at the girl, who still sits on the ground naked, just tilting her head at me. I should leave. This is getting weird. My wandering eyes, taking in a view of the pretty girl in front of me, covered in all kinds of liquids, meet hers, and she just gives me a big grin before waving me closer. 

I pause for a moment, trying to decide what to do. Out of the corner of my eye, I happen to see the Gardevoir bring a large rectangular thing over to the girl. Curiosity gets the best of me as I step further into the clearing while keeping an eye on the different Pokemon, all of which are just relaxing in the silence.

I see the girl take the object from Gardevoir and start doing something on it. A few seconds later, she turns it around to show that it is a screen of some sort. On the screen is a short typed message. {Hi! I’m Green!} Is that her name, Green? I mean, it is not the strangest name I have heard.

“Hello, Green. I’m Bea, it is a pleasure to meet you,” I respond as I come to a stop about a meter away from her, still feeling awkward about the whole thing.

Green turns her screen around and starts typing on it again. She flips it back around towards me and does an over-the-top wink. {I assure you, the pleasure was all mine.}

I tilt my head to the side as I read what she wrote, but a moment later, I can feel my face getting warm as I realize what she means. I give her an awkward smile in response. “So, um, Green, is there a reason you are not talking?”

She gives me a big nod before turning her tool around and writing something on it. {I was born mute. I use this to talk outside of official settings.}

I take a glance at the different Pokemon surrounding her. “You are a trainer, right? How do you train your Pokemon if you cannot talk?”

Green nods again and goes to write something on her large screen, but pauses and looks at her Gardevoir. I watch as Green’s cheeks puff up slightly in an adorable pout before she gets up and moves over to a pile of clothes nearby. 

I feel a slight pressure on my head for a moment before a soothing female voice suddenly speaks to me. ~I apologize for her antics, Bea.~ I look around to see who it is that is talking. ~No need to look around, there is no one else around. I am Gradevoir, Green’s caretaker and translator when needed.~

“Ah, um, hi? How are you talking to me? Since when do Pokemon talk?”

~All Pokemon can talk; it is just a matter of listening. As for how, I am a psychic with dominion over the mind. It is a simple matter for me to speak telepathically.~

A moment later, Green comes back over, this time with clothes on. She is wearing a black crop top with long flowing sleeves with what looks to be fishnet underneath and a tiny black skirt that does little to hide her body. Her legs are wrapped in thigh-high fishnets with a black leather garter biting into the creamy flesh. To finish off the outfit is a pair of black hiking boots.

“That looks awesome on you,” I tell her as she sits down cross-legged in front of me. I notice that she is still not wearing any panties. I let out an awkward cough, but don’t mention it as I see her smirk at me. “Oh! Let me go grab my team real quick. I left them to train before I found you. It will just be a moment.” Green gives me a bright smile and nod before doing a shooing motion. 

I quickly go back to the clearing where I left them. As I return to my team, I see Machoke doing a one-versus-all match. Machoke brushes away most of the attacks with graceful ease before following up with a counter when another Pokemon moves into range. Before they can start another round, I call out to them.

“Hey! We are moving to a different spot! I met another trainer, let's see if we can train with her!” My team lets out various sounds of cheer as they follow me back to Green’s clearing.

*~*~*~*

Green and I spend the next few hours chatting as my Pokemon train with her Tangrowth, the big creature covered in vines, and Vaporeon. Gradevoir sits next to Green elegantly, listening to me tell Green about various things. As the sky starts to darken, I decide it is time to head back to the city. I recall everyone to their pokeball, except Eevee, who is currently sleeping in my lap, before turning back to Green.

“I guess it is time to head back. I have two friends that I am traveling with for the circuit, want to join me and meet up with them?”

Green takes a moment and turns towards Gardevoir again, seeming to discuss something. She quickly writes something on her screen before turning it back to me. {Sure! If they are anything like you, they must be awesome.}

I give her a quick smile. “I think you will get along with them.”

{Well then, let’s go!} She quickly gets to her feet before grabbing a nearby belt with her pokeballs on it and starts to recall her team. The only one that she does not recall is Gradevoir, but that is understandable. I slowly get up as well, keeping the sleepy Eevee in my arms as the four of us head back towards Vermillion City.
