You arrive back at the landing spot on the beach just in time to see the sunset. Keira detaches herself from your arm and cartwheels towards the food. “So hungry!”

You give Bella a head pat when she comes to greet you. You’re starving too, though. Laki hands you a bowl when you get closer. “Took you two long enough. What did you get up to?”

“Hmm, Aura mixing.” Keira says while very quickly blessing her food. “And bathed and touched ourselves.” You nearly choke. Keira sure doesn’t mind letting anyone know.

Laki raises an eyebrow, but lowers it and gives a light chuckle and leans over to you. “Oh Keira. She never knows how things sound when she says them.”

[I appreciate it! The rule 63 is still in progress and I feel bad about the delays. We'll see it this week, though.

Herb is not for secrets, he keeps them for other people not himself.

Nice bin Gobble! It's nice to see Keira and Herb growing closer.


>>1483764
>”Nope, It’s exactly how it sounds.”

Herb is an honest boy. If Keira's comfortable talking about it, might as well be on the same page. Though,
>asking Keira about discreetness
is understandable to.

>>1483764
>”Nope, It’s exactly how it sounds.”

>>1483800
agreed since it's Laki it's fine but if this got out and the priesthood heard about it then it could amount to big trouble. Even telling Laki probably won't end well but it's true to Herbs character.

>>1483824
Herb being so open and out about sexual encounters doesn't really seem true to his character

>>1483830
but him being open in general does, and he has yet to have any sort of partner that was in any way open about it; Keira isn't hiding it at all.

>>1483838
Yeah but he didn't go, "Yep, hana sucked my dick, Yep me'n' laki fucked.

It's out of the ordinary.

>>1483780
>“Uhh...yeah."
>Change the subject

>>1483764
>”Uhh...yeah.”
>Change the subject

>>1483838
I don't think he'd just be open with it just because she was and considering he and Laki just had their own lewd time the day or so before I would think he'd me even more hesitant to talk about it.
And yes while I know that Laki probably would just joke and be okay with it but I don't think Herb would.

>>1483852
because that's a secret he is keeping for Laki, plus modesty of course. The catalyst here is Keira bringing it up and now he has two options

Lie for his own sake which he has never once done in the entire quest and is very much opposed to doing

Or fess up and admit what happened

>>1483867
Exactly it's a horrible idea, I just don't think Herb would lie for his own sake when Keira is fine with it.

Herb can just say 'i'll explain later' but no need to get into deets unless laki pushes and/or keira just goes on and on about it

>>1483868
I'd say that's using a bit harsher terms than necessary
He's a young guy still getting used to sexuality and it's very reasonable to think he'd be embarrassed to talk about things

Herb is also shy and easily embarrased about this kind of thing. He'd rather not talk about it at all.

>>1483886
it's a valid option but it doesn't seem the most honest and open the most "Herb" response to me so I didn't vote for it.

>>1483888
He hasn't seemed embarrassed thus far, pretty repressed but not embarrassed. At least to me.

Either way if you don't agree with me at this point then you're probably not going to so I'll drop it.

The whole thing is a little weird. You can't exactly compare this to Laki or Hana, since Herb didn't know that they were okay with him talking about it to others. So this is the first time he's had to consider how he feels about it himself.

Either way, he's either going to need to talk about it to at least Laki or ask Keira to be modest for him. I'm rooting for both.

“Uhh...huh.” You say, non-committally “Hey, this bowl is pretty neat.”

Laki’s eyes narrow. “It’s the same one we’ve always had.”

“Your cooking is really good!” You change the subject again. “What is this?”

She blinks and smiles. “Really? You think so?”

“Yeah!” You really do. You’re impressed. “I’m impressed.”

“Thanks! It’s a simple dish my mom always made for me after training. I’ll teach you sometime.” That really seemed to make her day. “It’s not too salty, is it?”

“No, it’s the perfect amount.”

The two of you talk food for awhile. Laki seems to have cheered up from before.

You look around and see no Kecleon. They must have gone to find a good spot to lay their claim. You look over to Keira and she’s already crawling into bed. You guess she’s pretty tuckered out. Laki stretches and yawns. “So, lots of pokemon here from the mainland. Does it make you nostalgic?”

You smell the air. “Yeah. A bit.”

“You want to look around?”

“A walk sounds nice.”

The two of you get up and head out into the forest. The setting sun peaks through the trees as you get a bit deeper, providing a nice orange glow to everything. Bella and Dice follow you, but Mace and Goggle stay on the beach to get some sleep.

“I remember this smell.” Laki reminisces. “Brings me back to the ceremony before the games.” She smiles for a minute, then sours. “Guess you don’t have a lot of specific memories, since this was like every day for you.

“Well I-”

A sudden burst of flame explodes by your feet. A small spark catches on your pant leg, but you manage to quickly put it out before it does much.

Laki puts her hand across your chest and steps in front instinctively. “Where’d that come from?”

You both look around into the bush for a second.

SLAM!

You both look to the noise. There’s something on the other side of that brush! You move to see and find two pokemon battling in a clearing. It’s a Tauros and Ponyta! They haven’t even seen or noticed you yet. They’re busy circling each other.

It looks like the Tauros is in trouble. At least, from what you can see. It’s got a burn. Ponyta looks like it took a beating to deliver that burn, though.

“Is this normal?” Laki asks. You guess she assumes you’d know, since they’re mainlander pokemon. You recognize them, and you’ve even seen them both before in real life, but you’re no expert. Seeing no reaction from you, she relaxes a bit. “Who do you think is going to win? My money’s on that fire one.”

Bella climbs onto Laki’s shoulder. Dice comes to your side to watch, but there’s no way he can see through that bush. He’s just staring at a leaf.

“I don’t know. Tauros are pretty strong. And he looks like he wants it more.”

“Trust me. Wanting it more doesn’t means as much as you think.”

You lift Dice onto your shoulder to give him a better view. He immediately zeroes in on the action like a magnet. “What do you mean?”

“Forget it.” She looks forward again. “Oh. Here it comes!”

They stop circling each other. Ponyta huffs a puff of flames and smoke. Tauros taps the ground and lowers it’s head. For a moment, they’re just still.

Then Tauros moves. They both charge at each other. Tauros lowers it’s head. You think it’s going to strike with a headbutt type of move, but instead, it’s horn crackles. Clouds form overhead and a great and mighty Thunder comes crashing down from the sky. It explodes a nearby log into splinters, missing it’s actual target by a mile.

“Shit!” Laki ducks in surprise, despite the safe distance. “Did you see that?”

Ponyta is startled, but doesn’t flinch. It quickly closes the rest of the gap and kicks Tauros in the side, sending it sliding to the ground. Tauros moans and lifts it’s head, but then drops. It’s knocked out.

Ponyta huffs, looks at the exploded log, and starts to trot away.

“What do you want to do?” You ask Laki.

“If you’re asking if I want to catch any, I’m good. I’ve still got some fallout from the last pokemon I caught.”

“Oh, right.” You still want to ask he about that. But now’s not a good time. You watch as Ponyta trots away, then you go to the knocked out Tauros. Dice almost falls off of you, but instead he uses his tail to catch himself at the last second and spin around to the other shoulder. His arms and legs and face don’t seem to react at all.

“Careful.” Laki warns, keeping a lookout. “Wild pokemon can get scared easily by people.”

You nod and lay your hands on Tauros. Closing your eyes, you dig deep and far into yourself and...hey. This is a lot easier than before. Maybe it’s because of the aura mixing with Keira, maybe it’s practice, or maybe both. But whatever the case is, you feel more confident and in control. Specifically...

It’s not so much your ability to heal, as it is the ability to unlock something deep inside that was always there. A hidden potential. Of course, you’ve just unlocked this in yourself, so you know you have a good way to go with it, but you can tell there’s something to this. You can see inside Tauros right now. He’s a special one. Smart. Very smart. You think he taught himself Thunder.

Oh. You see. As you’re healing him, you find an old, poorly healed injury on his rear left leg. You think you understand the story here. With that injury, he couldn’t attack as hard as others, so he found a different way.

You try your best to see what you can do about that leg, but you just don’t understand how these things work well enough. You do feel like Tauros has more potential for focusing his special attack, though. You can touch on it a bit, but since this is all new to you, it’s just a small amount.

Your eyes shoot open at the sudden flurry of hooves and panic from Tauros is it scrambles to get upright. It leaps away from you and crackles it’s horns.

“Hey, it’s alright.”

It jumps side to side, unsure of what to do with it’s energy. It’s eyes are locked on you, wild, confused, and angry. No, not angry, scared. Now that you know about it’s leg, you can easily spot how it favors one side.

If we are talking dragons I feel that Bagon or Dratini would fit Herb best. Salamance representing Herbs inner strength and courage and Dragonite probably behaving just like Herb nice and friendly but having the power to defend itself if provoked.

“Herb, be careful.” Laki warns, stepping closer. Tauros gets spooked by her doing that, and lowers it’s head. She stops, but looks ready to spring into action. “And you, Miltank wannabe. Try to be grateful to Herb here. If you hurt him, I won’t go easy on you.”

Tauros cocks its head. It seems very confused. It goes back to being defensive after a moment, but a lot less so.

“It’s alright. I just want to be friends.” You say, trying to reach out a bit.

Tauros assesses you for a moment. It looks to Laki, with Bella on her shoulder, and then to you, Dice on yours.

It makes a strange noise. Bella answers enthusiastically and somewhat defensively. Tauros is ignoring her though, and talking to Dice.

Dice sits there for a moment, tongue sort of just laying there outside of it’s mouth, then it finally answers. Whatever Dice said, Tauros seems to accept. It relaxes even more.

You take another chance and reach out to touch it on the head. It lets you get a short few seconds of scratching in before pulling away.

“Want some snacks?”

Laki rolls her eyes, but she’s smiling while she does it. “You can’t just do that every time.”

That’s where she’s wrong, because it snorts. You think that’s a yes. You reach into your bag and give it some leftovers. It takes it’s time sniffing them. Bella and Dice are eager to have theirs. Bella keeps a jealous eye on Tauros, though.

The group sits around for a bit. Tauros finally gives in and starts eating. It seems to approve. In fact, it’s looking a lot better. And curious. It keeps eyeing your pokedex.

Ever think that thumbs are his hidden potential Pizzanon? Of course you didn't. Because you only think of yourself

>>1484734
Let's, um, not get too real here.

That does raise a good question though. What are other pokemon' hidden potentials? Gobble has dance, Mace has energy, and Dice has drunk boxing. It makes sense that bringing out hidden talents is a power of ours, we're already doing it. But what about Bella? Can we use this power on our human friends?

Can we use this power to teach pokemon Hidden Power?

>>1484743
I think Bella's was draining became more powerful. The power of Succ

You know which pokemon I'd love for Herb to get? Mawile. It's got one of my favorite designs, and it could contrast Bella's bratty behavior by being shy or something like that.

>>1484768
The design is pretty meh to me, and without a mega it doesn't have much going for it.

Also its a slower than average offensively oriented pocket monster who focuses on using physical prowess over special attacks.

>>1484777
I don't really care about in-game viability. I just think it's neat, and it could be another girl for the team aside from Bella.

>>1484778
I get that, but the design and overlap with 3/4 of our current team is the deal breaker for me.

You show it the pokedex. It seems mystified by the images, but it shows a keen understanding after a minute. It freaks out when you get to the Tauros entry. It stomps and jumps and makes all sorts of noises.

“Yeah. It’s Tauros. Just like you.”

You keep holding it up, and carefully going through the information there. Tauros, as smart as it seems, doesn’t seem to be able to read, though. So you read it out for Tauros instead. It settles in over time. It’s like reading a story. Bella comes to cuddle in with Dice and even Laki is getting tired and yawning. She leans against you too.

Tauros listens intently for the entire thing, though. When you’re done, it sits and reflects.

“So what do you think?” You’re not sure what else to ask.

It snorts and cocks it’s head. You’re confused for a second, but then you understand. It wants you to go back to something. You flip through and finally land on the info page that it wants.

Surf.

“You want to learn Surf?”

It nods, eagerly jumping.

You don’t really know that move, or how to teach it. You wonder if you could. You wonder if you should. This island is made to contain mainland pokemon, right?

Then again, it’s just one Tauros.

C-Can we teach Gobble a useful move? Or maybe train stats?

>>1484830
This. Explain that the island is a sanctuary and if the Pokemon on it spread to other islands they could really damage the environment. It worked with the kekleons.

>>Try your best to teach it, and don’t leave the island until you do
Surfing. Bull.

>>1484835
I mean, I wanted to teach gobble, dice, and Tauros rain dance, and teach gobble, mace, and Tauros bulldoze.

I suppose teaching Gobble, Dice, and tauros surf doesn't preclude that.

“I’m going to teach you Surf, Tauros.”

It’s eyes open wide. A mix of joy, a little suspicion, and trying to figure out how this all works.

“But I need you to understand something. You have to use it responsibly.” You explain about the Kecleon. “So do you understand?”

It considers the terms, and stomps in the affirmative.

“Mrehng!” Laki mumbles, half asleep.

“What?”

“It’s late. Do it in the mooooooooorninnnnng.” She pulls in your shirtsleeve to bring herself upright.

“Can we ask Wailord for help?”

“Mrrmg. Sure. Whatever. I will agree to literally anything that results in going back to get some sleep.” She wipes her eyes. “Carry me.”

Laki has a good point. It is pretty late. “Alright Tauros. First thing tomorrow morning, we’re going to start on Surf!” You push yourself up, then lean down to lift Laki. Tauros scoops her up instead thought, and shunts her onto his back.

“Woah. Okay.” Laki wakes up a lot. “Not what I had it mind, but this works. I guess.”

You all head back to the camp. Tauros let’s Laki down and she flops into her bedroll. You curl up next to Gobble and the others and get some shuteye too.

You wake up the next morning being nudged by Tauros. It’s eager to get started.

“What about break-”

It drops a big bushel of berries, then snorts and stomps.

“Alright then.”

You wake up your other pokemon. Everyone seems eager to get in on learning. That’s good!

Keira has that same satisfied look on her face and doesn’t seem to concerned with anything going on, and Laki is sleeping in. You hope Keira isn’t broken. She’s just been humming and sort of dopey since the stream.

Nah. She’ll be fine in a bit.

You walk out to Wailord in the water. It looses a big jet of water to greet you. Tauros, Gobble, Dice, and Wailord all wait for your instructions.

You suddenly realize that you have no idea where to start.

>Ask Wailord to take the lead and keep showing everyone
>Get everyone onto land, learn to summon the water where there is none
>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general
>Try some surfing, like how Polu showed you
>Call up Polu, see if he’s busy
>Something else

>>1484899
>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general
>Call up Polu, see if he’s busy
Why not both?

>>1484899
>>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general

>>1484899
>>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general
>>Try some surfing, like how Polu showed you

Both sound good. Get him used to the water, then give an example as we know it. The summoning water can come later.

>>1484899
>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general
For starters, then...
>Ask Wailord to take the lead and keep showing everyone
>Call up Polu, see if he’s busy

>>1484899
>Ask Wailord to take the lead and keep showing everyone

Do laps around the island on Wailord, then

>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general

Then

>Get everyone onto land, learn to summon the water where there is none

And if this doesn't work, takes step back and try learning rain dance first. A simpler water move might make Surf make more sense.

>>1484899
>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general

>>1484899
>Just swim for a bit. Get Tauros used to water in general
Before we summon the water, we must feel the water. Understand the water.
