That was a fun battle.

“Great job!” You lean down and pet Sorbet. As you do, you funnel energy into healing her. Combined with her win, she springs up with new spirit. The other pokemon gather around and she basks in the attention. Even from Gobble.

“You too.” You walk over to Conqueror, touching it lightly. Abigail and the Vivillion both fight take their attention from each other to you, watching as you heal the pokemon.

“Are you okay?” She asks it.

It cautiously pushes itself up, and gives a spritely flap of it’s wings. It feels great!

“Conqueror! That’s awesome!” Abigail playfully gets the pokemon in the belly with a series of pokes. Must be some sort of inside game they have. She gives it a kiss on the cheek, then turns to you and does the same.

Before you can react, you see Abigail’s shirt suddenly cling very tightly as she floats off of the ground. It takes you a moment to see that the looming cloud behind her is actually Laki, lifting the skinny redhead. “Tone it down, tomato head.”

Abigail gives a submissive yet smug look and she’s released.

“And you.” She walks over and helps you up. “Don’t let girls like that take adva-”

You pull her in for a deep kiss. She freezes for a moment and gives a faint whimper. Her heavy chest rises and falls when you break it. “That was a good battle.”

“Y-yeah.” She stares off at nothing.

“That was a great battle!” Hana emphasises. “So, umm, what happens next? You look pretty full of testosterone. Heh. uhh, I mean, not that you don’t usually, being a guy and all. I just meant you looked pumped up, and maybe were going to use that energy for...” She trails off, mumbling and hiding her face with her hair.

“What is the date plan, anyway? I know we’re going back to Abigail's after, but where to first?” Laki stretches. “We all going together, or separately?”

“What’s uhh, normal in this sort of situation?”

“Loanah doesn’t really have much of a dating culture. It’s less formal. People just do stuff.”

You consider your options. You don’t know if Laki and Hana would like the same things. But picking one for a date first and then the other later might get awkward too if one of the dates seems to take more time or go smoother.

Wow. You just got lightheaded. You’re pretty drained, too.

I just learned that if you use substitute, and the substitute gets hit while you're using focus punch, your focus is not broken and focus punch still works.

So I think we should get the substitute Tm to continue our one punchlax training.

“What about a picnic?” You ask as the group starts walking back to town, to the pokemon center. “Then figure it out from there.”

“A meal in the woods? Isn’t that what we always do?” Laki remarks. But something changes her disposition when she gets a good look at you. Her face softens. “Yeah. Okay.”

“You can still wear a dress.” Hana offers her.

“What! I never said I wanted to!” Laki sigh in indignation. “What whatever. If it’s so important I guess I can.”

“What about Keira and Abigail?” Hana asks.

“Oh. Well if you want, I can show you around.” Abigail says to Keira. “I’d like to pick your brain on some stuff around the community.”

Keira holds her head defensively. “That’s a silly expression. But alright!”

You’re on autopilot as you get to the center and have your pokemon healed. Laki and Hana keep whispering to each other in a way that vaguely worries you. You put your mind to something comforting. “What are you two in the mood to eat?”

“Nope.” Laki says simply. “You’re not making anything. You’re pushing yourself too hard, Soft Hands. Leave the food to us.”

“But I like to-”

“She’s right.” Hana insists. “Pick a spot and we’ll come find you.” She looks to Laki for approval on that. Laki nods. “If you’re not busy.”

“If he’s not busy?” Laki tries not to mock Hana’s awkward phrase too hard and fails.

“You know what I mean.” Hana says defensively, but not offendedly, to Laki’s teasing grin. Those two are starting to bond.

Well, guess you should find a spot them. You saw some different areas that looked suitable. You know that the mood can really be affected by the surroundings. Let’s see. There was a pretty flower arrangement that had a good amount of foot traffic but the most amazing smells and colours. There was a tiny stream waterfall that’s just off the beaten path that reminded you of some of Eelilee’s streams. There’s the risk of wild pokemon. There was a spot with a table under some heavy trees behind a unique looking but closed down building. Nobody would bother you there. There’s the beach, too. It has a little bit of trash but maybe you could clean it up before they arrive.

Laki’s comment echoes in your head, and you decide that a change of scenery might be nice, even if, in your opinion, it’s not as pretty.

You set up at the picnic table and look around. A gentle breeze rocks the trees back and forth. Your pokemon all gather around and spread out a bit, exploring. Sorbet is still looking a little cocky about her battle. She struts around on the grass.

Gobble stands around awkwardly and decides not to bother her in the end. Mace sits beside him.

Belladonna finds a spot where the sun is penetrating and stands there while inviting Dice over. She gets him to spray her down with a light sprinkle of water.

You clean some twigs and things off the table. You feel guilty about not making any food. Well, maybe part of that is just a desire to dive into something comforting. Either way, you wouldn’t mind it.

It’ll be a little longer before the girls arrive.

You decide to explore around the building a little and see if there’s anything interesting. You glance back at your pokemon before disappearing into a half-open doorway.

It’s what looks like an old, single floor office building. Some graffiti and trash litter it. There’s an office chair in the corner. You step a little farther inside as you prop the door open for the precious light.

Something startles you! A movement in the corner. The light hits it and you can see a funny coloured Grimer. It glances to you, but doesn’t seem that threatened.

“Uh, there’s some more trash over there.” You blurt out, not sure what else to to say.

It looks at where you pointed and grunts in satisfaction at the industrial paint can it consumes. When it leaves, you notice something on the ground. You approach the item slowly to make sure the Grimer isn’t coming back for it. Huh. A Full Heal. Looks like he cleaned the outside of it, too. You wonder if you’ll see him again.

You head back to the picnic table and see your pokemon still doing what they were doing. Except Mace. He was at the door.

“Hey there, Soft Hands.” Laki approaches in a white sundress, completely taking your mind off of what just happened. “It’s not really fair that we dress up and you’re wearing what you always wear.”

“But he’s always dressed up.” Hana remarks. She’s wearing the clothes you helped her pick out at the first island. “Herb dresses so sharp you’d think he was a Bisharp.” She unconfidently jokes. “I think we’ve seen him in every outfit.”

“He’s got the apron.” Laki says.

“That’s not really a full outfit.” You laugh as you take the basket from her and set it on the table.

“Hmm.” Is all she replies with, another smug smile creeping onto her lips.

The three of you get settled in. You smile as you watch all the Ice pokemon gather into a group and share their cold. Sorbet kneads Glaceon, who is laying on top of Bergmite.

You take out a sandwich. It looks pretty basic, but that’s fine by you. You take a bite. Yeah. That’s not bad. Not exciting, but it does the job for sure.

“So.” Laki says, unsure of what to do or say next.

“So.” Hana continues.

It’s becoming clear that since you spend all your time together, there’s little new to talk about.

“How are things with your new pokemon?”

“Oh. Glaceon is doing well.” Hana perks up. “She floats on water so she dips in when she can to get out of the heat. But she’s been getting a lot of attention and I think ‘someone’ is getting a little jealous.” She whispers that last part as she makes an egg shape with her hands.

“Pokemon, right?” Laki says,taking a long time to lean over in her low-cut dress to grab a condiment from your side of the table. “So insecure about who the favorite is. Bergmite is doing well. I think there’s some trouble with the others not liking him as much, but they’ll warm up. It’s not like they hate him or anything.”

That’s good news. You bring up movies and sports. It’s funny, but you never actually learned a lot about their interests in any detail. Hana explodes into a critique of a monster movie she’s seen recently, talking about the camera angles used, the producers, studio drama. Everything except what actually happens in the movie. When you ask Laki about what sports she likes, she looks a little nostalgic.

“Ah. Well, I used to watch a lot of stuff with my dad and his friends. Guess I sort of fell out that habit. But I do like to keep up with Jato sometimes. It’s a shame Wailord is too big for it. I think it’d be perfect for his temperament.”

You chat some more, and things are going well. At least, right until you compliment them. “You both look pretty. I like your clothes.”

Laki and Hana look at each other. “Really?” Hana says, brushing hair out of her face and looking hopeful.

“It feels more like a costume.” Laki says through some uncharacteristic blushing and shyness. “Which one of us looks prettier?”

Hana also leans in to hear your answer.

“He’s gonna cop out.” Laki whispers to Hana, apparently not realizing you can hear.

“Shh.” Hana replies.

We could go with this and when they want a serious answer act coy and say "that would be telling" or something along those lines. Although that doesn't seem very Herb like.

I think the only answer is to sweat alot.

Or take way too long seriously scrutinizing their outfits. Fashion is serious

“It’s not a competition...” You start to the immediate, mostly lighthearted jeering of the two girls.

“Be honest.” Laki says.

“I’m pretty biased.” You confess. “I did help pick out Hana’s outfit. I think it’s more fashionable.”

Hana tries not to beam too much.

“But I think Laki’s is prettier.”

Laki, who was taking it well, scrunches her face. “How does that make sense?”

You take out some napkins, condiments, and other accessories. Despite being on the spot, you’re thrilled that she asked. You explain different points in fashion, and what sort of cuts, angles, and factors come into what is classically considered cute, pretty, sexy, etc. It’s a fascinating topic to you, because despite all the differences around the world and all the different tastes people have, there seem to be some commonalities that turn fashion into a science. When you’re done, you have a mess of things all over the table you’ve used to explain your points, including a small bit of sandwich that you had leftover. Gobble comes along and slyly nibbles it off the edge.

“Was that a cop out?” Hana asks Laki.

“I don’t know.” She has a stupefied look on her face.

“So.” Hana says, looking around. “It’s uhh, pretty secluded here. What’s the next part of the date?”

Laki finishes rolling her eyes, but looks concerned when she sees Hana scooting a little closer. She moves to your other side.

You feel a little more energized from the food and the topic, but still, that could be temporary.

You propose catching a movie. Hana is thrilled, and Laki is curious.

The group arrives at the theatre just as the last round of movies for the day are starting. You apologize to your pokemon as you put them back in their balls as per theatre policy, but they don’t seem to mind. You glance around at the selections. The smell of stale popcorn does nothing for your already sated appetite, and your funds are happy.

Hana jumps from one poster to the next. You ask her what she prefers, but she’s struck with choice paralysis. That, or she doesn’t want to pick a movie everyone else might not like.

There’s a romantic comedy that Laki makes a puking motion at, but you sense she might be overcompensating. It’s hard to tell. She does seem genuinely excited at that action movie with the guy trapped in the office building.

There’s a Mr. Mime themed horror. Typical. The poster itself already spooks you a little.

What else? Oh, a fun adventure movie. The kind nobody would hate but nobody would probably be really thrilled about. It’s a safe bet.

And a nature documentary. That might be educational. That theatre looks empty.

“That nature documentary could be interesting.”

“That’s uh, yeah, okay.” Hana seems surprised. You guess she’s not used to films like that, without actors to watch.

Laki is confused at first, but she folds her arms. “Empty theatre, huh?”

“Oh.” Hana responds.

“You’re right!” You say. “We can pick any seat and stretch!” You run ahead, looking for the best one. Somehow, you feel like you missed something.

You finally find a nice spot and settle in. The previews are already ending, but Hana comments that she’s seen them all already. The movie itself, like the others, doesn’t seem very new.

It opens up with some exciting shows of happy pokemon and trainers, then cuts to sad Absol shots.

Oh no. This is really depressing. It’s about the hard life of wild Absols.

“I had no idea.” Hana says, enthralled and sad.

Laki yawns and puts an arm around your shoulder. She seems to feel a little awkward though, given the nature of the documentary. She eventually retrieves her arm.

You put your arms over both their shoulders, startling them a little. But soon after they both snuggled into it and you.

A mercifully funny moment happens on screen with little Absol pups playing and falling over each other. You all laugh at the sudden change in tone and when you’re done and settle back in, you find you’re hands much closer to their chests.

Before you can even think, Hana stealthly pulls your hand over her breast, adjusting so you get a full handful. She shyly looks between the screen and you, seeing if you’re offended. Her hand massages over yours.

Laki dares a glance to Laki’s side, and seeing this, pulls your other hand into the top of her sundress.

You gulp.

You decide to just go all in. You let your fingers make circles and gently massage the handfuls of feminine charm.

Something about the depressing and doomed nature of life that the film reminds everyone of, combined with just the general teenage hormonal urges, makes for a surprising atmosphere. Both of them start to get into it a little more. Hana adjusts so your hand is down her shirt like Laki kisses the nape of your neck and puts a hand on your inner thigh. Hana meanwhile, starts fondling your groin directly.

You see something sad on screen about Absols, feel a little guilty, but quickly get distracted as your belt buckle comes loose. Hana’s head lowers and-

“Hey! What are you kids doing!” A voice calls out “This is a movie theatre!”

The three of you freeze as you see a figure in the dark. A squinting old pudgy woman is on the other side of the aisle. She must have come in sometime when you were...uh...distracted.

Nobody knows what to do.

“Cheese it!” You say say, pushing everything back into your pants and pulling them up.

You and the girls rush out of the theatre to the exit into the alleyway. For some reason, you run about a half block before stopping, laughing in excitement at the absurdity of the situation. You startle a few Meowth and Ratata in an alley and come to a hilarious stop.

“The look on your face.” Laki says.

“My face?” Hana laughs. “You looked more scared than anyone!”

“That’s because it might get back to somebody I know! You don’t have to worry about that!!” Laki laughs, then suddenly realizes the implication of what she just said. But Hana continues to laugh, not taking any offence or minding the comment.

“Holy smoked zucchini.” You proclaim. “I thought I was going to die.”

For some reason that sends the girls into another laughing fit. You all continue until your sides hurt.

“That was a fun date, Soft Hands.” Laki says, adjusting her disheveled top. “Not what I pictured, but fun.”

You look up at the night sky and see rainclouds forming.

“We don't have to end the date yet.” You say.

Hana reacts with sudden heavy breathes and a hopeful look. She glances to both ends of the alley.

“We can get coffee.”

“Yeah! Coffee...” Hana says with forced enthusiasm.

“You’re worse than a Salazzle.” Laki mocks as she drags Hana along.

The group arrives at a cozy, but very cheap looking little cafe. You’re surprised it’s open. Red heads turn to view your group, but one Loanan already there seems to put the girls more at ease.

You find a corner booth and order.

“Coffee was what opened Loanah up for trade.” Laki says. “Well, sorta. Back in the day, as pirates started using Take as a cove to rest and hide. Mainlander governments got all made about it and threatened an invasion. So to keep things from getting nasty, the islanders grew coffee to sell as a way of compensation. Of course, this lead to resentment that the whole island was paying for Take hosting pirates and getting a share of their loot. So as a solution-” Laki pauses. “Ah. What am I doing? Nobody wants a history lesson on a date.”

Hana doesn’t seem as interested. She looks distracted as the rain starts coming down on the dark window. Still, the mood is pretty light thanks to all that laughing before.

If that's true, then why do lightning rods go on the tops of buildings?

So that lightning travels up from the lightning rod instead of from, say, a random fan or other metal machine on the roof.

“It’s interesting.” You assure Laki. “Go on.”

“Really? Well, yeah. Alright. Didn’t think anyone else liked history.” Laki takes a big sip to prepare herself. “Right. So things got tense with Take. Now, this is before the islands were so integrated. They were more like a loose...confederacy? Is that the right word? Anyway, each island was more independent, but they all agreed this was an issue. So the solution ended up being threatening Take to stop helping pirates. And it worked. At least, in theory. It’s sort of poetic, because as the pirates became more like privateers, the islanders that helped shelter them also became a sort of distanced and unofficial group that everyone knew answered to the local clergy but nobody could prove it. This started the whole thing where the clergy decided to unite, to keep each other in line. But the Kontote, being the most powerful group thanks to the metal mines and position, didn’t like this. My own island, Akaneki, didn’t like it either. Tabo fell in line since they were sort of a vassal of Kontote, Kaitwe sat things out. Anyway, things didn’t heat up yet, and everyone was also getting fed up with my island’s constant raids. The whole culture of going to Neaka for wives and food sort of morphed into something more aggressive. I’ll admit that. It used to just be an informal ceremony where you snuck into the room of a girl you liked and she had food waiting for you. But, well, things changed. Anyway, Kontote comes up with a plan to gather everyone up and stop Akeneki before the Take situation is resolved. They get everyone to agree with it despite the tense cold war. Very charismatic leader. It also helped that Akeneki kidnap the future wife Eelilee’s biggest bigwig. So yeah, the raid happens, but Kontote doesn’t show up. Instead, they go to all the other islands and attack when they’re weak without their warriors or strongest pokemon.” She takes another gulp of coffee.

You nod, taking it all in. Laki seems just about done though, so you change the subject to include Hana. “What’s on your mind?”

“Oh. Heh. I am listening. It’s just... you know.”

“The lightning?”

“I was going to get a mouthful of...yeah. Heh. Lightning too.”

Laki rolls her eyes, but laughs a little anyway. “I can’t believe I was so threatened by you. You’ve got a one-stream mind.”

"You were?"

"I was."

Hana blushes and sulks. “I really am worried about the lightning though, now that you mention it.”

You look to Laki, who moves in closer to assure Hana it’s fine. “Not even a lightning storm. Just rain. There was like, one bolt and it was so far away we couldn’t even hear thunder.”

“Yeah. I guess you’re right.”

The bill comes in for the coffee on three separate bills. One is accidentally face up so you can do some mental math to figure out the total cost. It’s expensive for coffee, but not outrageously so, and you can still afford to pay it.

But is that a precedent you want to set? Dad always said that first impressions set the tone. The girls paid for their own tickets before you could think about it, now that you look back. Should you keep that up? Do it sometimes? If you only pay sometimes, does that set them up for disappointment?

You decide to pay the whole thing, but without the generous tip you had considered. Laki seems to notice and approve.

As you leave, the rain and wind seem to die down a little. It’s still enough to get everyone nice and wet, but at least it’s not bowling you over. The three of you eventually find Abigail’s house, since she had the lights on and waves to you from the window.

You crowd in apologizing about the dripping water. Abigail waves off your concerns about it, saying that it’s all built with the island in mind.

“Umm, where are your parents?” Hana asks, waving to Keira who is fascinated by all the foreign books and objects.

“Where are yours?” Abigail retorts.

This will go one of two ways: Either Abigail knows Hana is an orphan and is using the fact to expose he fact she is also an orphan or she's trying to be clever and is going to wind up with egg on her face.

Either way, let's stay out of it for the second.

Laki is about to start something, but Hana stops her.

“Are you an orphan too?” Hana asks, genuinely curious.

“Yeah. I wish.” Abigail says. “Dad left for groceries about a decade ago. Mom disappears for weeks.”

“You wish?” Laki says, unable to contain her anger. She raises a fist, but Hana puts her robotic hand on it.

“Don’t get offended for me. I don’t know what her life is like.”

“I’m offended for anyone with a daughter.” Laki mumbles. “Whatever. You’re letting us stay in your house. I couldn’t call myself Loanan if I kicked your skinny ass.”

Abigail seems to actually look a little regretful about her comment. “Her, I respect,” she points to That temper of yours is going to cost you, some day.” She winks at you for some reason. “Come on. I made some stew.”

The house is, well, a bit depressing. Amatuer art is drawn on one of the walls. Conqueror is sleeping on a dusty pillow inside a closet with a broken door. The television has a crack on the screen and the wall has what looks like a stain from a thrown bottle.

You’re most full, but you politely accept the stew she made anyway and have a little bit.

“Hey, this is good!” You say. Even Laki agrees.

“You sound surprised.” Abigail says. “I’m more than just a pretty face, you know. I’ll trade you the recipe if you give me something good in return. I don’t have a man around the house, so I wouldn’t mind a nice, long hug in those big, safe arms of yours.” You can’t tell if she’s teasing or not.

Laki growls in annoyance.

“I could help around the house. You know, cleaning and stuff.”

“You’re no fun.” She sighs as she collects a dish. “Yeah. I guess it’s a mess.”

“And I guess there’s nothing wrong with a hug.” You say, worried about Laki’s reaction.

“Not compared to what we’ll be doing later.” Laki states defiantly towards Abigail and she touches your shoulder.

“None of that under my roof.” Abigail tells her.

You take care of the dishes along with Abigail. Keira is already fast asleep. Laki does a little, and Hana helps a lot. It’s a weird end to the date night, but it does feel good to take care of a lot of the mess. There’s still a lot to do after everyone loses steam, but it’s a big improvement.

“Thanks.” Abigail says, offering you a hand up from the floor you were scrubbing. “Go ahead and use the shower, you guys. One at a time, please.”

Hana takes the first one, then Laki, then you. As you exit in your towel, you suddenly find yourself catching Abigail in a big, full body hug.

Laki notices from her spot in the other room. “What the f-” But Abigail closes the door. Curses and a fist hit it.

“Abigail!”

“Oh calm down, Herb.” She slowly peels herself off of you. “I’m not that easy. I’m just getting her riled up.”

“But...why?”

“Because she’s simple and spiteful and if you’re going to be stuck with someone like that you should at least get some of that crazy banging.”

“I...what? I don’t understand. And I thought you said you didn't want anything happening in your house.”

“I said under my roof. That just covers my room. Any sanctify this house had, my mom destroyed. So I might as well use it to help be the cool girl friend. Not a bad way to get noticed, right?” There’s a heavy note of restrained loneliness in her voice. “Makes me hard to forget, at least.”

“You don’t have to do anything like that. Friends-”

She clings to you again as she opens the door. Your entangled bodies spin past Laki, but she quickly catches up and peels Abigail off of you.

“Soft Hands is mine!” Laki yells.

“Ours.” Hana meekly offers.

“No. Not tonight. He’s mine. And you’re mine.” A vein appears on Laki’s forehead.

Hana’s body language and face explode with enthusiasm, but her voice is flat. “Yes ma’am.”

“You’re lucky I take my culture seriously.” Laki tells Abigail’s smug face. Laki storms to the guest room, picking you up. “Soft Hands. Naked. Now.”

Hana quickly follows into the room. As the door closes, Abigail gives you a sly, private way and mouths “you’re welcome.”

Laki snaps her fingers at Hana, who takes the hint and gets the lights. You’re thankful you’ve been thrown onto soft, freshly washed sheets. You have to admit tonight has been trying for your libido, but at the same time, do you want to get physical just because Laki’s angry?

It might seem that way, but it actually goes down first. There is a second strike microseconds after the first which goes up the path of the previous strike along the trail of ionized particles which it left.

However, in the case of lightning rods, it actually does originate from the rod itself, rather than the clouds, followed by a second strike which, again, follows the channel that the first left.

Everybody is right!

Later, we'll be sure to mention Abigail's attempts at wingwomaning, and how hot it is when Laki gets possessive.

Goodnight gobble. Also, if you see this, please answer my questions from the end of the last thread.

>>Yes. Let’s go all the way

> all these people supporting laki's inferiority complex
It probably won't hurt anything in the long run (well maybe if we go all the way, laki will feel guilty), but people are thinking with their dicks today

the woes of getting to a thread very late.

For me at the very least it's more about Herb actually setting it up himself, making the evening "just perfect".

The girls are away for the day doing something or other, the pokemon are with others or in their balls, and there's Herb cooking up a nice dinner and decorating the place they're staying at for the evening.
By the time Hana and Laki walk into the room they see off to the side a table with iced refreshments and small appetizers. Herb himself lays out on the petal covered bed while candles flicker all about the room.

And then Hana tears off her clothes and Laki starts laughing like an evil villain.
