Iono and I appeared outside of Joy's Poke-center-shaped house, but so did Grusha, Nemona, and Lusamine. I looked over at them and then the girls all smiled at , but this felt almost like a setup.
"So, you got your core now? Did you get your Super Rare Candy yet?" Nemona asked as her body beca a galactic background and her clothing burned off to re as if in challenge to Iono still being in her skin.
Iono poked and said. "Not yet. I just got the skin, so I haven't got to fully test everything out yet. Why? You wanna go?" Iono challenged, and Nemona's eyes burst with purple blue, and red flas.
"You know it! Let's go to my place right now, or Joy will burn our als for the next month!" Nemona cheered, and I just rolled my eyes as the two vanished.
"How are you feeling?" Lusamine asked after she and Grusha walked over to join .
"Physically? I am great. ntally? Exhausted. These last few days have been even a lot, so I am just glad to be able to go out and battle so Pokémon today," I said, but then smiled at both won. "Not that I didn't enjoy my ti yesterday."
Lusamine blushed and looked away, but Grusha only smiled and then gestured to Joy's house. "I am sure that you are hungry after everything, right?"
I laughed and the three of us headed inside where Joy was cooking and Dulse sitting at the table on his phone, but he also had a digital tablet that he was sketching on with a stylist. I walked over and kissed Joy's cheek, saying good morning, and then I went over to join Dulse at the table.
"How are things going with your shop? I had been aning to co see you, but I have been pretty busy," I said, not getting a better look at the drawing on the tablet. It was a rough sketch of Popsicle, my Pawmi, but she was wearing a stylish body suit that had way more detail than Popsicle, so I pointed to it. "Is this a battle outfit idea?"
Dulse jumped slightly and looked up, then sighed. "You startled . I was too focused. This is just an idea for her. This is my design, but I am not sure about the coloration yet, so I was working on so different styles for her. I was planning on designing suits for all your battling Pokémon, but I was going to wait until I had so designs. Since their more human bodies seem to be your biggest hurdle when having them fight, I am trying to make the suits look more powerful than appealing. Still, you have to admit it is hard with you girls."
I laughed at his last comnt but then nodded my head. There was no denying that my girls' curvy bodies and accented features were the main reason I was so worried about having them battle. Even though I thought they were too cute to fight, the girls still wanted to battle, so what Dulse was doing was perfectly in line with what I wanted.
"I agree with you, and I would love it if you could do this for the girls, but I have a request first. I plan on catching four more Pokémon over the next two days and then battle with them after that. If you could work on them as soon as I catch them, that would be great," I explained, and Dulse nodded thoughtfully.
"Normally, if I were still a normal man, and in the normal world, I would have to tell you sothing like that is impossible. Though, neither is the sa in this world, so I think that I will be able to fulfill your request. However, I will have to get you to bring the girls by after you catch them so I can scan their forms. The clothing shop lets scan my custors so I can perfectly fit them into whatever clothing they would like," Dulse explained with a smirk, pushing aside the curled purple hair that hung down the center of his forehead.
"That would be wonderful, thank you."
I had been so focused on our conversation that I had almost forgotten about Lusamine and Grusha until Grusha cleared her throat and said, "If you don't mind asking, where did Iono and Nemona run off to?"
I sighed, and said, "They were challenging each other to a Pokémon battle at Nemona's stadium. You can go there as well and practice with your new Ice Queen Skin."
"Ah, I see. Well, then, I might just do that. I had a lot of fun after you left, but it would be nice to practice against others... This is so strange considering I have trained Pokémon for a good portion of my life, and now I am the Pokémon," Grusha chuckled, and I couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know if we can be considered Pokémon, but I guess we share the sa abilities now," I laughed, and Lusamine rolled her eyes.
"How can you say we aren't Pokémon? We are in a Poke Ball, we can transform and use abilities like Pokémon, and we don't even poop anymore!" Lusamine complained, but more jokingly than anything, but the last part made Grusha's eyes go big.
"Really? I was wondering why I haven't had to use the bathroom since last night... That's strange," Grusha mused, and Lusamine shrugged.
"We still have to eat. I have to keep protein bars with when I am training with Nemona. She is even worse than , and just goes into her fridge to put out a al big enough for five people, and then eats it all like a snack!" Lusamine complained, and Dulse just shook his head.
"You are all just eating like you should. When you are a Pokémon, your tabolism is much higher than a human, and you require more energy and nutrients to maintain yourself. So, you are eating the right amount of food. Just rember that, like Pokémon, your body uses your energy like a power source for their moves," he explained, and all the girls' eyes went big.
"Wait... so does that an that we should eat lots every day to keep our energy levels up?!" Joy asked, and Dulse nodded.
"Not if you are not using it for moves. If you are just doing everyday functions like you do, Joy, then you can just eat normally," Dulse explained, and I turned to Joy, just realizing sothing.
"Joy? You have a core, right? You were my first, so you must have so ability, right?" I asked, and Joy smiled as she brought over a plate of eggs and bacon, with a large stack of pancakes.
"Of course, I do! Here, eat this, and then you can see it!" Joy said, and the sll of the food distracted . It was all so good, and I was starving, so I quickly started eating the al that she had prepared for .
As I ate, I couldn't help but notice how Grusha's face was turning redder the longer she watched . After I swallowed the last bite, she let out a loud sigh, and said, "Oh, that was good! Now, what is your power?"
"Since you are never around when anyone returns injured, you have never needed to see it, but I can heal almost any injury. I had wondered why I would always get hungry after, but it all makes sense now," Joy giggled, and Grusha seed surprised.
"That is an amazing ability. With your skills, you could beco a wonderful doctor. I have had many wounds healed by a wonderful nurse, but her ability was limited. Your's doesn't sound like it is," Grusha explained, and Joy bowed.
"Thank you, that is a very nice complint," Joy said, and then smiled. "But, my ho is here, with Landon."
After that, Gursha left, and Lusamine ended up following her, leaving Dulse and Joy. I was about to get up, but Joy's bedroom door opened up, and a yawning Jolene walked out in loose pink shorts and a white spaghetti strap halter top with one of the straps hanging off her shoulder.
"And that is my cue to leave," Dulse said and closed his eyes to vanish with his phone and tablet.
"Oh? I scared him off?" Jolene asked with a sheepish grin as she ca over and hugged and kissed . "It has been so long since I had a sleepover at another woman's house. Tulip would have enjoyed staying up all night with us talking. Make feel like I was a kid again!"
I returned the kiss and then laughed at her explanation. "I am glad that you girls get along so well. It's nice to see that Lusamine is getting involved with the other girls as well."
"Everything cos with ti, and Joy is great. She feels like a sister that I never had, right Joy?" Jolene laughed and leaned over to smile at Joy.
"Right! I had always wanted a sister. It is a nice family we are creating," Joy said from behind , and I pushed away from Jolene with a smile.
"I agree, but I have to get out of here or I am never going to get anything done! Okay, you won have a great day! I have so Pokémon to catch!"
