Dice smiles up at you as he glows. He just had amazing battle with Jane’s Nidoqueen where he managed to get a tie.

“He’s evolving!” Your brother screams. “Holy Arceus!”

“Joseph Jacob Johnson!” Your mother politely but firmly calls him by his entire name. She’s a pretty easy going person, and doesn’t mind much, but she does hate it when one of you or your siblings blasphemes. “I wish you wouldn’t use that phrase.” She plays with her necklace.

Keira, who was absentmindedly playing with hers, perks her ears.

“Sorry mom! But that’s two evolutions in a day, even though Jane won!”

“It was a tie.” Laki corrects.

“Technically yeah, but...”

Jane smirks, just a little.

You hold Dice as he glows and pulses. He doesn’t seem to have much of a reaction to it at all. You aren’t sure if he doesn’t understand what’s happening, doesn’t care, or is just too worn out from his match.

You talk to Dice about this already, but you guess there’s a parental part of you that worries. You hold Dice in your arms as he evolves. “I’m so proud of you.”

Dice smiles back. He gently nips at your arm.

Your brother is standing off to the side, but peaking over on his tippy toes.

“Come on. It’s okay. He won’t bi...well, he won’t bite hard.”

He lights up and rushes over. But suddenly he stops, turns around, grabs Jane’s hand and pulls her along with him. She’s too surprised to stop him.

The three of you watch Dice go from Totodile to Croconaw in the glowing light.

And before you know it, it’s over. You’re holding a newly evolved pokemon! You’re just glad you’re holding his head and now his whole body. He looks heavy!

“Here!” Your brother gives him a berry.

Dice seems to have a bit more energy now. He scurries out of your arms and Flail’s at a small log.

“You learned Flail!” Jane says, surprised.

“Wow!” Your brother gasps, then inspects the berries. Then he runs back to your mom and dad. “Mom! Dad! Those berries teach Flail!”

You’d chase after him and correct him, but you don’t want to leave your new Croconaw quite yet. You turn back to Dice, but he’s already asleep. You guess he just wanted to show that off.

“Hmph.” Jane approaches even closer. “That was...an impressive display from your pokemon. Congratulations on evolving.” Her tone is civil, but the look on her face when she says it reminds you of the time you were trying to bake too many things at once and accidently used two cups of salt instead of sugar.

“Thanks! It was a great battle.”

“I suppose with a,” she coughs, “tie, nobody owes the other coffee.”

The wind picks up, pushing some of the overhanging tree branches around you.

“That sounds like a shame. Why don’t we just go and pay for our own?”

She thinks, dropping her guard and putting her chin between her finger and thumb. “I suppose that follows the letter of the wager as close as possible...”

“Then it’s a date.”

She nods. “Very well, it’s a da-” She freezes. Her face goes through a few different expressions, trying to figure out which one works best. After some blushing, then anger, she settles on a satisfied, smug grin. “Hmph. I see your game. But you won’t get me to spill my training secrets so easily. We will go on this date, have a pleasant evening, you will dress nicely but casual, and there will be an appropriate amount of physical contact and tension.” She smirks again. “And I’ll win. And if you're charming enough I just might let you ask me out again for another defeat.”

You sigh. Was this a mistake? You don’t know what came over you. It just sort of came out of your mouth.

She begins to walk off, but your mom approaches. “Oh good. Jane. I wanted to let you know that we have an air mattress all set out for you and the others.”

“Air mattress?”

“Of course dear. The weather report says it’s going to storm tonight.”

“I couldn’t impose.”

“Well I insist times three.” Your mom says. “Please don’t worry about being polite. And don’t worry, the basement is nowhere near Herb’s room.”

What’s that supposed to mean?”

Your mom pinches your cheek and rushes back over to your dad.

“Well I suppose that makes escorting me back that much easier for you.” Jane says. “I expect you to be dressed and ready tonight.” With that, she heads off.

Laki and Keira come over. Laki is thrilled you were able to tie with Jane. Keira is excitedly inspecting Dice and his new form while he sleeps. He sleeps right through all her prodding and touching.

“So what’s on for the rest of the day?” Laki asks. “More training? Gah! I was close to a tie too.”

Keira offers one of the very few insincere smiles you’ve ever seen on her face. It’s clear she doesn’t do that a lot, because it’s so obvious. “Yeah. You sure were.” She tries to sound encouraging.”

Laki sighs. “Anyway, I’ll be training.” She puts her hands behind her head and walks off.

“I want to ask your parents all about the mainland!” Keira runs off.

You look down to Dice. You could take him to the pokemon center, but he could also just get a bit of rest here and be fine in the morning

“Are you okay to stay around the house while you recover?” You ask your waking Croconaw.

Dice very lazily crawls into the tiny little pond in your backyard, then floats on his back contently. You guess that answers that.

“Wait up!” You run after Keira. You want to be sure you’re there in case the conversation gets to religion. Your mom and Keira are pretty accepting people, but you know how these things can get sometimes. You head to the kitchen where Keira, you mom, and your dad are. You brother is in the open living room.

“I love your hair.” Your mom compliments Keira’s braids.

“Thanks. I wanted to do it up like a mainland girl.”

“And dress like one from a private school, too.” Your dad adds, looking her up and down. Your mom elbows him.

“Is it alright? It’s within my ranking to wear it, right?”

You mom laughs. “You’re just adorable. Yes. It’s fine. Although I don’t know if the administrator’s at the academy that uniform is from would approve, but it’s not a big deal.” Your mom turns her back to fetch the sugar from the top shelf for tea.

“Oh. Just to be safe I better take it off then...” Keira starts lift her shirt.

“Hey!” You rush in, casually stopping Keira. “How’s everyone doing?”

You dad chokes on his tea but waves that he’s alright.

“Oh fine, Honey. I love your facepaint.” Your mom continues. “I’m sorry to be so ignorant, but that’s part of one of the religions here, isn’t it?”

Gobble reaches up to your mom as she prepares lemon slices for tea. She quizzically looks at you and him, and with your nod feeds him the leftovers. He looks thrilled even as he scrunches in his face from the sourness.

Keira beams. “Yeah! But I wanted to ask about yours. What’s ‘Holy Arceus’ mean?”

“Actually mom, I never asked, but I never understood that either.” You get up to start fixing snacks. It’s just instinct.

“Oh.” Your mom freezes up for a second. “I never explained that? I suppose it has to do with my schooling. Where we come from, saying something like that is a short version of a swear. ‘By the holy so and so.’” You’d say. But to make a swear by Arceus shows hubris and a lack of respect for him. Our creator’s approval isn’t something you swear by. It always is. Even the most flawed of us.”

“Wow!” Keira basks in that. “I was told mainlanders didn’t have a lot of reverence for their religions, but it sounds like you really respect yours.”

“Of course.” Your mother smiles. “Well, mostly. I married a non-believer. But the church doesn’t look down on that like it did a long time ago.”

“My ears are burning.” Your dad says as he approaches. He gives your mom a kiss on the cheek as he squeezes by. “I believe in you, babe. That, and you said we’d have to get married before we-”

“Dear!” Your mom swats at him, half seriously, half playfully

Keira gives a mischievous giggle. You don’t get it.

“Kidding!” You dad grabs his tea and takes a seat. “So, Keira, You’re a priestess from the Ghost temple, right?”

“Yes! How did you know?”

“Oh, I had my journey here. Beautiful islands. But, and be honest, you’re not a runaway, are you?”

“Oh no. The temple let me. They said I was disruptive and because I kept asking so many questions about the outside world and getting the other girls curious, that they’d test out letting us go on journeys, starting with me.”

“I guess both of your church’s have been getting lax on things.” Dad takes a sip of tea.

Both females offer a terrifying smile and lean in. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

He smiles and shrinks. “Nothing. I uhh, just always respected the upholding of traditions in religion. It’s one of the upsides.”

Oh dad. No. Stop.

“But then we wouldn’t have gotten married.”

“And I wouldn’t be on a journey with Herb!”

Of all the people to step on a landmine here, you wouldn’t expect it to be your dad. He always knows what to say and how to say it. Especially with women.

“I agree with dad.”

Glares. Except of course from dad, who looks like you just jumped on a grenade with him.

“I mean, about how it’s important to keep traditions alive. But I’m glad both things happened. I like journeying with you.” You smile to Keira. “And I like, well, existing.”

There are a few chuckles and the tension vanishes. You keep it vanished by giving everyone some chewy snacks. By the time they’re eaten, and everyone laughs at how quickly Gobble it's his and how cute Bella looks after she eats and curls up to sleep, any ill feelings are long gone. But the topic remains the same.

“You believe that Arceus created everyone and everything, right?”

You mom nods. “Yes. Continuously, not just at the beginning.”

“Wow!” Keira is fascinated. “So the mainland God is Arceus? Does he watch over you like our protector watches over us? I wonder if every region has their own. And he creates you? How does that work. Did...he visit your marriage bed?” Keira looks at you, giving you a poke as if you’ll turn into a Pokemon on her.

“No. Arceus creates everyone by igniting your inner spark. Not all couplings have a child, but all children are because of Arceus’ blessings.”

“The inner spark that drives your life force is what the Electric Temple explores!” Keira looks thrilled. “And the inner spark, depending on the translation, that fuels your soul and passion is what our Fire temple explores!”

Your mom smiles. “I’ve read a bit about that. I think that’s why most religions can live side by side. We all have different beliefs, but centered around the same goals and big picture. Nobody needs to force anything on anyone.”

“Well, the Helix Fossil people always want to force it on everyone.”

Your mom bursts into laughter. “I suppose things are the same everywhere.”

“They’re like that on the mainland, too?” Keira starts laughing. “High Priest Makai always said that most mainlander religions are fine and just a different understanding of the same things we believe.” He does? Maybe he just didn’t like you because of you, not because of your being a mainlander. That hurts just a little. “But that Helix Fossil believers are just crazy.”

Your mom laughs even harder. “Oh I shouldn’t laugh. We say the same thing.” she waves a hand as she laughs to add an addendum. “About most other religions, I mean. I guess I don’t have to tell you about the unsaid exceptions. Don’t tell anyone I said that.”

nah, too tan to be Spice. Could work for Jane if she dyed her hair to suduce disarm Herb

>>1584939
Could totally be spice! She walks around outside all the time! She'd get Tan!

>>1584897
It could also be Herb seeing this as an opportunity to practice dating with the bonus of getting more friendly with Jane. I feel he is naive enough to not see a problem with this.

You leave your mom and Keira to talk to your dad on the side.

“Dad? Can I ask your help?”

He motions for you to continue as he eats. Dad always appreciated your cooking.

“I want to get really dressed up for this, well, this date I have.”

“Date? Oh. So you finally settled on a girl, huh son?”

“Well, not exactly. I pictured it as more of a casual thing.”

“Oh boy. Well, let me ask you something. Is this girl the type that’s had lots of dates before? Is she used to casual? She the relaxed type?”

“Uh, not exactly.”

“Ah. Son. You’re playing with fire here. Just be careful, alright? Hmm, on that note, you need to be careful.” He emphasizes the last word, and hands you a- oh! That’s a condom.

“Dad!”

“I know. Girls here are all on the miracle birth control of vispum. But still. Just in case.”

“That’s not what I-”

“Now let’s get you dressed up. Wait. No. First, let’s teach you to shave. I thought we’d do that years ago, but I guess that peach fuzz took a while, eh buddy?”

You look in a mirror. You do have peach fuzz! That’s practically a beard! A manly beard! You contain a squeal and lower your voice. “Alright.”

You spend time with your dad learning to shave. It’s a little scary to have a razor at your neck, but once you cut yourself the first time you get over it. It hurts, especially with aftershave, but you can handle it. After all, you’re shaving your manly facial hair!

Next is the clothes. You’re definitely going all out here. Dad has some hair stuff for you once you get your shirt one, but you need to figure out what exactly you’re choosing.

>Something sexy and tight. Maybe you can make it work
>A nice suit. The classic
>Something with a slight island twist. When in Loanah
>Something extremely casual looking, but actually with a lot of thought put into it.
>Something else

does she only have the one outfit? It's not even well suited for the islands' climates. Or any climate, to be fair

>Something extremely casual looking, but actually with a lot of thought put into it.


>>1584968
It's a female Herb. She's probably got outfits for days. I'd just imagine to keep that imagery it all revolves around one piece swimsuit looking deals.

>>1584948
I'm always surprised to see this picture posted here when the general attitude is usually so anti poké-ality.

Also, that Bannette is so fucking smarmy it hurts.

>>1584962
>Something extremely casual looking, but actually with a lot of thought put into it.

Don't play with Jane's heart Herb, that's a quick way to lose a friend.

You coordinate with your dad. He doesn’t have as much of an interest in fashion as you, saying that it’s much more about attitude than specifics, but he does have good insight on these things.

“I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard. I want something casual.”

“Good idea. Don’t give the impression that you’re trying to impress her. You set the tone that she owns you and that’s exactly how she’ll see you.”

“Is that really how girls think?”

“It goes for anyone, son. Not consciously, but it’s just how the mind works. You have a responsibility to yourself to treat yourself well, and not like someone else's slave. You train others on how to treat you. Never forget that.”

“It’s just a date, dad.”

“We are the habits we practice, son. But I get your point. I’m laying it on too thick. I’ve been listening to some deep music, trying to get inspiration for my next project.”

Dad does up your hair, gives you a few more tips, and helps you pat on the shoulder. “Oh yeah, son. One more thing. I know your mom is putting the girls in the basement for the night, but if people wander around, well, the house has great soundproofing. Just throwing that out there. And I’ll be keeping you mom busy tonight.”

“Busy how?”

He gives you a strange smile. You don’t get it. He pats on on the back and wishes you luck.

Time to go. You’ve got a bit of a walk if you want to be on time for Jane. You check out into the back yard and see Dice still relaxing, and when you peek into the kitchen you see all your pokemon inside with Keira and mom. You leave out the front door.

Huh. There are a lot of flowers in the garden outside.

You’re going to gather up everyone before you leave, including Dice. You just don’t like being separated from them. Maybe you’re overly attached, but you’ve always heard that's really common for trainers.

Huh, you guess you see yourself as a trainer now, don’t you? You guess you have a few badges and battles under your belt, but you’ve mostly seen being a trainer as something you do, not who you are. As time goes on and you do more training and battling, it becomes more natural to think that way.

You collect some flowers while you’re thinking. But you don’t want to go too crazy, or give too much of the wrong idea, so you get a few for everyone. You dip inside, collect all your pokemon in pokeballs for now, and present your mom and Keira with a flower each.

“What’s this for?” Mom asks

“Where are you going?” Keira asks. She happily inspects it and all it’s petals. Keira does love her plants.

“Out with Jane.” You check your hair in the mirror. What’d dad put in there?”

“Oh.” Keira looks confused. Something about how you’re dressed seems to put her off. “Another battle?”

“Just coffee. I’ll be back soon.” You leave one for Laki by the door with a little note, then head out.

“Herb!” Hana comes running. The wind is picking up. Judging by the overcast, you’re in for another storm. “Sorry I took so long. I wasn’t sure where to go.”

“Hana!” She seems a lot more outgoing today. She comes to a sudden stop in front of you and it all seems to fade, though. “Umm, hi.” She reaches to hug, changes her mind, and sticks her hand out for a high five, then a handshake, then a high five again. You can’t really keep up with her changing gestures and whiff it. You both share an awkward laugh.

“Here’s that gem.” She reaches into her bag. “I hope it’s the right kind.”

“That’s exactly it! How’d you find it?”

“Oh, well, a girl has her ways.” She gives a sheepish smile, but then suddenly holds up her hands. “Uhh, not like, that way. It’s the least I could do, since you did everything else helping me get Chinchou.”

“Oh, it wasn’t a big deal.” Well, it was a bit of work, but you don’t mind.

“You look good tonight.” She gives another awkward look, like she’s worried she said something wrong. “And you have flowers...”

“Oh, thanks. I’m going to meet Jane. We had a bet and wagered coffee but it was a tie and I’m running a little late but here’s a flower. I got one for everyone.”

“Oh.” She takes and admires the flower under the fading sunlight. “I thought for a second that it was a real date. You like had a crush on her or something. And all I could think of was ‘Whaaaaat’?” She laughs a little and reaches her hand out, but awkwardly isn’t sure whether to touch your shoulder or arm and pokes you in the nipple. “Sorry.” She mumbles.

“No problem. Oh yeah, just in case, here’s a key.” You reach into your pocket and pull it out. Just as you do, you feel that condom your dad gave you come out of your pocket with it. You just barely stop it from falling onto the ground, and hand Hana the key. There’s unsure moment where it was outside of the pocket though, and you aren’t sure if she saw it. She doesn’t react, so you assume she didn’t notice. ”Gotta go. See you as soon as I get back.”

“Umm, yeah. Okay. Thanks for the flower. Good luck!” She cringes. “I mean, see you later. I’ll go introduce myself to your mom. Okay, Hana. You can manage that.”

You aren’t sure if you heard that last part correctly. It sounded like she was talking to herself. But you’re close to being late and don’t want to be rude. You hope she doesn’t mind you leaving like this. You didn’t expect her so soon.

You keep the light jog up until you get close, then walk so you can catch your breath. That’s when you spot Jane. She looks amazing. She’s wearing that same sleek black dress she wore before, fancy earrings, lipstick, and she has her hair done up.

She turns and her eyes give only a slight reaction before returning to that confidence, smug aura she always has. “I see. Clever. You know not to compete with me on looking good, and went for the casual look instead.”

“I think you’re reading too much into it.” You politely mumble.

“Is that for me?” She motions to the flower.

Janefags are out in force tonight considering how many votes there are to try and make this like an actual date. In spite of the fact that Herb is arguably closer to Laki, Jana, and Keira and hasn't tried this with them.

“Oh yeah.” You gingerly place it into her hair. “I saw how blue and open they were, and it reminded me of your eyes.”

“Hmph. Typical line. You won’t just get me to drop my guard that easily.”

You stop adjusting it into her hair. Maybe you went too far.

“Well don’t stop. Make sure it stays in.” She looks away. “What kind of man offers his date a flower and doesn’t give it?”

You do as you’re told and smile. It really does bring out her eyes. And the way she looks right now, she could model. More than anything, you’re admiring her fashion sense right now. She’s really got an eye for this.

She pulls your arm out, then grabs it. “Come. I’ve selected the perfect coffee shop. Now escort me to it.”

Despite her leaning on your arm and asking you to lead, she pulls you.

“I thought we could take a sure walk first. You know, talk.”

“I didn’t schedule a walk.”

Schedule? “Well if you don’t want to that’s fine.”

“No. I did schedule for some improvisation time later. We can adjust.”

“Okay.” You don't know what else to say to that.

She let’s you take the lead for real this time. You go up to the darker path near the woods. It’s a little out of the way, but it should get you where you want to go eventually.

You can’t help but notice how much exposed shoulder and...chest that dress shows. And with the winds picking up, it’s a bit chilly.

Another thing you notice is the people on this path. For as late and windy as it’s getting, you sure notice a lot. And it’s hard to tell in the dark, but you think you see armbands. Where did you see those before?

“Are you cold?”

“No.” She shivers.

“Come on.” You disengage her arm and take your sweater off. “Put it on.”

She hesitates for a second, then takes it. “Hmph. I’m too distracting, aren’t I? You’re disappointing me with how easy you are, Herb.”

“You just looked cold. But yeah, you do look good.” Despite not being a large guy, seeing her in your sweater that’s a few sizes too big makes you feel like one.

She grabs your arm again. “I still have that hoodie you offered me before on Valerie’s ship. You never asked for it back.”

“Sorry?” She makes it sound like you’re the bad guy for that.

You see another person with an armband. Or maybe that’s the same guy you saw before. That prompts you to start steering back to the well lit area.

“Where are we going?”

“I thought I saw a armbands on those people. Did you see them?”

“What? Yes. Of course I noticed them. Are you suggesting I was distracted? You’re getting cocky from one little technical draw. But...where did you see them?”

You go over where and when you saw them as the two of you enter into the cafe. You find a spot in a dark corner.

“Your parents are very pleasant.” She says, trying to break the silence. “For mainlanders.”

Herb, are you SURE she doesn't think you're being romantically forward? Are you?

>>1585813
I am in the Hana camp too, but fair is fair so lets see where this goes.

>>1585813
I'm between Hana or Keira

>>1585841
Keira is for friendship, experimental lewds, and fond memories once we settle down with Hana and Laki.

File: tourist1.jpg (216 KB, 507x600)

216 KB JPG

>>1585856
Keira is for handholding, teaching about the mainland, fertility rituals, and conquering

>>1585841
I'm pretty much a full-blown Jane man myself, but that's only really because she's been by far the most forward about actually wanting to date us.

Keira is not gf material though I do like her, Laki seems more about just wanting to fool around in the now, and Hana is just kind of awkward and seems to mostly just want fuck too.

Jane however is obviously infatuated with us and wants a legit relationship, even if she's one of the worst at expressing it.

If Jane doesn't work out, I'm falling into team Laki, no contest.

Harems fucking disgust me though, I want to add.

>>1585841
fullblown hanafag here. i work shit hours and rarely catch an active thread, but i do like how she's developed thus far

>>1585891
>Harems fucking disgust me though, I want to add.
Yeah, same.

>>1585891
Eh I think our heart to hearts with Laki were fantastic and I think if we'd actually take her out on a date she'd be more serious. A handful of anons seem to be avoiding that like the plague though.

>>1585921
Everyone's got their preferences. If Laki ends up winning I won't be bitter, but it hardly means I'll give up on that Hana route.

>>1585921
RIP my still heart

>>1585891
I'd like Jane more if she actually trusted us. Until then, she's not even on the potential waifu chart to me. Relationships have to be founded on trust.

My original top choices, HerbXPurity and HerbXPolu seem to have never really been on the table.

Keira is my current top choice, followed by Laki, then Hana. Hana needs another episode with us soon, but not as badly as Val.

Of all the things you can do, you decide to just chat. There’s no particular subject, you just talk about whatever comes to mind. And somehow, in doing so, you remove all of the tension.

Things range from your old home, to things you’ve been noticing in pokemon battles, to ideas you’ve had for dressing up your pokemon, food, weather, the differences in small things between the mainland and Loanah, and old TV show you both know about, anything. Both you and Jane don’t even notice her guard dropping over the course of it.

And then it happens. She laughs. A genuine, fun laugh. By now she’s gotten plenty warmed up and taken your sweater off, and her dress is once again a bit distracting.

She regales you with a tale about one of her recent battles. She even tells you about a few tricks she used.

“And then we crushed him! Hitmonlee was on fire! Literally! Blaze Kick made all the difference.”

You both laugh. But suddenly she catches herself. It’s like someone just snapping out of a daydream. “I’ve been talking a lot.”

“I’m enjoying it. That was a nice story.”

“No. I mean, I’ve been telling you a lot of strategies. Joh- Herb, be honest, what were your intentions for tonight?” Her eyes scan over yours rapidly.

see that shit, that's damage control right there. Now how mad will the Janefags be that every waifu got a shot at the lewd but Jane?

I would be pretty livid.

Why not, no?

I will not board the Jane train until she stops being so damn suspicious. After that, maybe.

>>1585960
>Lean in and kiss her
Probably won't get any support for that so I guess I'll vote for other stuff
>You aren’t sure. You just wanted to see where things went
>What her HER intentions for tonight?

I get sad thinking I'll have to settle and pick Laki or Hana

Jane is very serious about us, whether she's consciously aware or if its more spurred subconsciously

We can't just lewd/fool around with her and not be as serious, it just doesn't workout in-character

maybe not lewd but this was obviously a date to anyone with eyes; this is damage control and the first shot in the waifu war if I had to guess.

Should be fun to watch, though it disappoints me it will likely derail the story.

Patrician taste. It deserves a non canon lewdbin at the very least. Maybe Polu has a dream (sparked by Keira's offhand comment about us being married) of coming home to his barbarian trap waifu, filled with home-cooked meals and tender passionate love.
Then he wakes up with sticky shorts and can't look Herb in the eye for a week.

I'm a Jane guy, but let's be real. Straight up kissing her is way too forward considering the amount of other relationship shit we have going on. I'm down for fucking, but let's not jump the gun without making the fact that we're currently a non-committed pussy clear.

Herb isn't dtf though. He literally just had Laki and Keria hovering over his dick and said, "hol up."

>>1586055
We're down for a hell of a lot of other shit that's pretty close.

>>1586063
Yeah didn't say he wasn't. Just that he specifically turned down sex.

that's because it's more than likely that it'll be a routelock
