Imported from SF2 with no description.


As Aiden began to wake from his heavy slumber, he first became aware of the coolness of the air. He briefly wondered if he had accidentally left the window open, and why did his mattress feel as lumpy as a bed of earth and rocks? Slowly and reluctantly, he opened his eyes and gazed up at a pair of shifting, leafy branches. He half wondered if he was still dreaming before he noticed the scent in the air, the smell of smoke and cinders.

His eyes shot open as the potential danger roused him almost immediately and just as he was about to spring up from where he lay, reality set in. He was far from home, and far from the bed he thought he was asleep in. He looked at the campfire as he lay on his side, little more than a column of gentle white smoke rising from bright but dying embers. He wondered how much sleep he had gotten as he took a moment to glance back up at the sky, noting the blackness had changed to a dark blue, rippling with a rosy pink indicating dawn wasn't too far away. He then turned his attention to the snoozing eevee curled up against his body. He was surprised he hadn't remembered sooner considering he had never slept with Lauma so close before, but now he had to admit it felt like the most natural thing in the world. He sighed happily as he turned into a gentle spooning position with the eevee and stroked her soft fur.

After a few more minutes of dozing he looked over at Leslie, noting how she and Fionn both seemed to be sleeping comfortably. For the first time since having that conversation with his fellow trainer, Aiden allowed himself to thoroughly consider some of the things that she had said to him.

More and more questions arose than ever but he felt as though there was significant doubt that he would ever have much opportunity to find out the answers. After all it would still be a rather difficult topic to just bring up randomly and he certainly didn't want Leslie to think he was still lingering on it.

Instead he allowed himself to speculate. How exactly had she ended up with Fionn helping her?

Was it her idea or did he initiate it?

Had she been touching herself in front of him? Aiden considered the view the lucky eevee might have been enjoying and found the mental image he constructed of such a situation to be particularly delicious. He had thought of Leslie in all manner of erotic ways before, especially whilst pleasuring himself, but something about the newly discovered dynamic of her sharing such intimacy with her Pokemon was now suddenly so arousing that he was having a tough time denying it to himself. Maybe it was just that he knew the situation was real and that was better than any fantasy he may have conjured before.

His right hand slid down his abdomen and into his underwear as he returned to contemplating the earlier question. Maybe they had been sleeping together and it began that way? Hadn't she said something to that effect? Aiden mulled over his memories carefully as he recalled Leslie's words

'You've never even thought about Lauma that way? Never woken up in the middle of the night with her in your arms and just felt kinda... needy?'

Aiden frowned at the sleeping Leslie as his mind drew the obvious correlation to his immediate situation, his initial response was to simply ignore it. He looked downwards and nuzzled at Lauma's head gently. She seemed to be having a nice sleep. Aiden wondered if this would become the norm for them now or if she would just return to sleeping at his feet once they were in a regular bed again. This certainly had some nice benefits though. She was keeping him warm for a start, uncomfortably warm, the trainer suddenly decided as he slowly tugged his shirt upwards, pulling the fabric from between them both and up over his head, he dropped it to the side of the sleeping bag and his hand found its way back into his underwear as he returned to his previous comfy position.

"Mmmmmm..."

Aiden let out a soft noise of approval as he felt Lauma's fluffy fur rubbing against his now-bare chest. The cock in his hand throbbed in response and he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. The feeling of his companion snuggled up against his mostly naked body was now, at least, contributing to how aroused he was feeling. He shrugged it off as he resumed his speculation, considering whether Leslie had perhaps had a similar experience with Fionn, and that it may have been what led them to the kind of playing that Aiden had walked in on recently.

As he considered the events of the previous morning, he couldn't deny that his opinion on it was changing significantly the longer he thought about it. He tried to recall the incident as best he could, finally allowing himself to acknowledge that he had watched his friend and target of his own sexual desire have an orgasm right in front of him. He couldn't help himself now, his hand started to stroke his stiff length as he replayed the scene in his head. He never got to see what was going on under her skirt but he knew well enough, he saw how damp the eevee's muzzle was afterwards. Practically dripping with his saliva and her juices. Continuing his chain of self-admission, he decided that Leslie having her Pokemon pleasure her was hot, probably the hottest thing he had ever seen.

Aiden kept his stroking to a slow pace so as to not disturb the eevee sleeping beside him who he now turned his attention to. His hand found its way to her soft chest fur and he stroked it slowly as he wondered what she had thought about their discovery of their two companions playing together.

He thought it rather strange that he seemed to be resisting any further consideration of the matter, as if he was hiding from his own thoughts. His arousal however, got the better of him and he asked himself the question he was avoiding; could he think of Lauma the same way?

The trainer's thoughts again turned to some of the things that Leslie had said to him, the way she explained that her fooling around with Fionn wasn't sex, rather just a way for them to help each other with urges and do some bonding at the same time. But Aiden was more than capable of taking care of his own sexual urges, he didn't feel as if he needed any help, at least for now. But Lauma was the same age as Fionn, did she have urges too? Had he even been paying enough attention to her to notice? Had he possibly even been neglecting her in some way?

The trainer suddenly realized that he was no longer petting her chest fur, his hand had found its way further down the eevee's body over her belly. He wasn't sure if learning about Leslie and Fionn had given him a new perspective, or if it was only due to how aroused he was at that particular moment, but whatever the cause; He was seeing his Pokemon in a new light as he continued his hesitant exploration of her decidedly beautiful body. He had touched her all over before, but this was different, he wasn't grooming her or washing her fur, this was pure unfiltered admiration. He moved his hands and stroked between her ears and then he ran his fingers over her strong thighs one after the other before moving them down her legs to play with her paw pads before returning his hand to her belly, stroking through her soft belly fur and up over her chest. He lowered his head to the back of her neck and gently sniffed at her as he continued his masturbation, the once mundane smell of the eevee had now somehow become one of the most delicious scents Aiden could recall experiencing.

Aiden couldn't recall ever feeling so sexually excited before and he had to restrain his self-pleasuring, not yet wishing to push himself to the climax he could feel rapidly approaching. In his lust filled state, he dared himself to continue the exploration, knowing where it was leading. He placed his hand on her belly once more and began to move it downwards before suddenly stopping. The trainer inhaled slowly and removed his hand from the eevee, taking a moment to calm down. He wasn't quite brave enough to complete his exploration and he whined in frustration.

The trainer edged himself for a few minutes, his thoughts were not as hesitant as his actions and he eagerly pictured Lauma's more intimate regions in his mind as he held himself on the brink of orgasm. Then a sudden realisation came to the trainer, he could at least, look.

Aiden wiggled upward in the sleeping bag until he was sitting up before moving a hand to unzip it. He opened it wide, leaving the eevee uncovered as well as himself from the thighs-up. The cool morning air felt nice in his heated state and he took a moment to enjoy it before turning his attention back to the throbbing cock in his right hand. He moved his free hand to again take hold of one of Lauma's hindpaws. As he leaned forward he gently pulled her paw towards him, massaging the soft pads as her legs spread in front of him revealing what he wanted to see.

The fur around the eevees crotch got steadily thicker until it gave way to soft looking flesh. He had seen it before of course, washing her practically every day. This however, was different. In his aroused state it was much more interesting, even fascinating. Aiden leaned closer as he examined his eevee. It was different than a human, that was immediately obvious, not that Aiden had seen a human pussy outside of pornography. It seemed quite small, even for the size of the eevee and her lips protruded just a little from her body. At the furthest point the lips met, forming a little crest. Aiden couldn't help thinking it looked rather cute and tried to imagine how it would feel to touch and play with. His eyes moved the tiny distance along her lips to their end against her body where they parted against a third horizontal and less prominent fold. It caused her little opening to form a _Y-_shape. To the trainer, in this new light, it was beautiful. He wondered what it would be like to caress those pretty lips, to press his finger between them and feel inside her precious little pussy. Would it be wet? Warm? Tight?

The trainer had been pumping his cock much more firmly as he feasted his eyes on Lauma's little pussy. He shuddered and bit down on his fingers to keep himself quiet before a hot stream of seed forcefully poured out over his belly in several thick shots, splashing against his skin and running down to drip over his hand. He gasped at the strength of his ejaculation, practically convulsing as he succumbed to what was undoubtedly one of the best orgasms he had ever experienced.

Aiden lay still as he panted, his heart rate slowly returning to normal over the next few minutes. He gently stroked one of Lauma's ears, the eevee suddenly let out a soft little yawn and a few moments later she rolled over back onto her side facing the trainer and nuzzled affectionately into his chest before suddenly looking up at him. He blushed brightly as he met her gaze.

"Eev..." sounded Lauma with a low but happy tone as she raised her head just enough to lick at Aiden's face. He giggled and they nuzzled together before the eevee rolled onto her feet and started to stand up. Aiden quickly stood up too, he had never felt uncomfortable being naked in front of Lauma before but now he was covered in his own cum and needed to take care of it before the curious little eevee started to wonder about the new scent. The eevee gave him no relief to the nervousness as she watched him from behind the whole time as he quickly set about cleaning himself up. As he sat back down on the sleeping bag, he looked over at Leslie, hearing a gentle snoring coming from her and feeling glad for once that she was such a heavy sleeper.

The trainer turned his attention back to his Pokemon who opened her muzzle wide and yawned for the second time. He responded in turn to the contagious action and then after glancing at the brightening treeline he started to get dressed.

________________________

Tones of sandy yellow mixed with rosy pink across the eastern sky at dawn's imminence. Aiden sat cross-legged on a small hilltop with Lauma in his lap. They found the nice spot without walking too far from the camp and now sat in anticipation. Suddenly the horizon was breached by the sun and the sky was flooded with vibrant light. The light kissed Aiden's face and he felt his skin warm to its serene touch.

“Eev-vui-vui!" Proclaimed Lauma, swishing her tail.

As the sky continued to brighten, it revealed a great deal more clouds than the previous day. The trainer looked across the horizon and smiled, his journey so far had been one of worry, doubt and trepidation. Now, he just felt free.

“I know you always loved watching the sun rise Lauma. Looks somehow different than back home right?"

“Vui."

Aiden gently stroked his companion's fur as he admired the view with her. Suddenly he felt another urge that he immediately gave in to as he wrapped his arms around the eevee and pulled her close. She let out a short yap of surprise before calling out happily

“Eev-eev!"

“Nek."

Startled, Aiden and Lauma both turned to look at the source of the new voice.

“Nek...kin?"

Standing less than a few meters away stood a small fox. Bright yellow fur looking vibrant and fierce in the sunlight. The trainer stopped breathing for a moment as he stared at the newcomer. Lauma slipped from his arms down onto the grass and began to take a few cautious steps towards the other Pokemon. It tilted it's head as it looked at her with equal curiosity.

“Fen..."

Aiden, remained silent as he watched the fox, his gaze suddenly met by it's own. He recognised the species immediately, having done plenty of research into native Kalos Pokemon during the journey to the region. He felt a surge of confidence as he watched the creature. This was it, he thought. Leslie was good at battling but he would be better at catching. He remained sitting and kept himself remarkably calm, going over in his head everything he had absorbed from the various trainer advice books and manuals.

Wild Pokemon could be unpredictable, that was something that was always emphasised. The fox certainly didn't seem to be showing any signs of aggression so far, but as Aiden knew well enough from his studies, that could change without warning.

He took a deep breath and reached for his backpack.

“Oh..."

Aiden scolded himself mentally, trainers should always be prepared but clearly he had not anticipated this encounter, his pack along with the pokeballs inside was at the camp where he had left it.

The trainer was nothing if not pragmatic. He quickly considered other options. He recalled that he had read an article about how some trainers would give food to wild Pokemon to build some trust and wait until it voluntarily agreed to be captured. That was no good, he didn't have any food to offer it.

Then he considered having Lauma attack it, knocking a Pokemon unconscious for capture was certainly effective, but was not necessarily the best first step in a trainer-Pokemon partnership. And who knew if she would even win, not to mention he had an upcoming tournament for which to keep her fresh and prepared.

And so, Aiden did the only remaining thing he could think of as he looked at the wild Pokemon.

“Hi!"

The fox tilted it's head again before returning it's attention to Lauma.

“Fen-Fen, Fen-ne!"

“Eevui-vui."

Aiden watched the two yap back and forth for a minute, now the wild Pokemon took a few steps forward before Aiden spoke to it again.

“That was you last night wasn't it? Do you live here? I hope we're not disturbing you."

Aiden rose from his sitting position to a kneeling crouch and slowly extended his arm low towards the fox with his hand open. Closer than before the trainer had an even better view. It had the most beautifully vibrant fur that Aiden could ever recall seeing.

Without warning, the fennekin suddenly turned and darted away, running quickly downhill before disappearing into the trees. Lauma gave a single call in the direction the other Pokemon had fled before turning to her trainer again. Aiden picked her up and placed her on his shoulder as he sighed, shaking his head slightly.

“Okay girl, new rule: I'm not allowed to go anywhere without the pokeballs."

________________________

Leslie opened her eyes and was immediately greeted with a bright morning sky. As she started to yawn, the Pokemon laying beside her leaned closer and gave her cheek a single lick.

“Morning Fionn."

“Eev.."

She stretched her legs out within her sleeping bag and let out a soft groan. “Not the comfiest sleep I've ever had, should probably get used to it though huh boy?"

As the trainer rolled onto her side to face the eevee she noticed the absence of her companion, not that it surprised her much that Aiden would be awake before her. “Hmm, I wonder where those two have wondered off to."

For a moment Leslie considered taking advantage of Aiden's absence to slip out of her sleeping bag and get her clothes back on, but the somewhat chilly morning air on her face did nothing to motivate her to leave the warm confines of the shared sleeping bag. She wrapped an arm around Fionn while she used her free hand to feel around for wherever her tablet had ended up.

“Success!" She yipped as she pulled the device from under her butt. She tapped the display and spent a few minutes browsing the regional news before having a look at the map. Her feet were already feeling a lot better but it was still a happy surprise when she realized they were a good three quarters of the way to their destination and that today wouldn't involve as much hiking. Unfortunately, the bad news quickly followed as she checked the days weather and learned that a rainy afternoon was on the way.

“Vui."

Fionn's ears perked up immediately in response to the sound from above the ridge behind the groups camping spot. Leslie turned her head to see Lauma arriving back followed at a distance by her trainer. She returned her attention to the tablet, propping herself up on one arm as her eevee slipped out of the sleeping bag and wandered over to greet the other Pokemon.

“Good morning." Said Aiden as he sat down beside the expired campfire.

“Morning, where did you two wander off to?"

“We decided to go watch the sunrise."

“That sounds nice." Leslie said as she tapped at her tablet.

“Well, getting out of bed early does have advantages you know."

Leslie glared at Aiden for a moment before stretching and yawning again, briefly looking over at the two eevees playing in the grass.

“Well, I guess we should get moving soon huh? It's supposed to rain later." She said as she sat up and reached for her bag. Aiden rolled up his sleeping bag and tucked it into his backpack before pulling it on.

“Yeah its looking that way, maybe we can make it there while it's still dry."

“Hopefully, hey could you uh... turn around for a minute? I'm still in my underwear in here."

“Ooh there's a surprise, I half expected you to be naked under there with Fionn down inside the sleeping bag when I got back."

Leslie's face immediately flushed with embarrassment as she frowned at Aiden. With no witty retort coming to mind she just grabbed the nearest thing she could find; a small stick, and hurled it at the other trainer. He stepped out of the way as he giggled before he obliged his friend's request, turning his back and sitting down.

“That was mean." Leslie said as she slipped out of her sleeping bag, being careful to step on it so as to keep her feet clean. She sat down as she started to pull her socks on before retrieving the rest of her clothing from her bag.

“You know I'm only teasing you."

Truthfully, Leslie was comforted by the fact that it had been reduced to something they could joke and laugh about. She certainly hadn't expected it to become such a normalized subject between them so quickly.

“I saw a wild Pokemon by the way!" Aiden said as the other trainer continued to get dressed.

“Oh really? What was it?"

“Fennekin! You should have seen it, it was gorgeous."

“Did you try to catch it?"

“Well I uh... left my bag here."

“Uh huh..." She said with little enthusiasm. “You can look now."

“You don't believe me?"

“I didn't say that." Leslie said as she pulled her cap on and started to pack away her sleeping bag.

“I can tell."

“Well, the next time you see a wild Pokemon you can catch it and then I'll have to believe you right? Anyway, I'm ready to go here, should be leave?"

Aiden huffed as he nodded. “Mm, sure."

________________________

Leslie watched her feet take monotonous steps across the dusty ground. Their route had continued through the woods for a while before connecting to the old dirt road they were now walking along. The road passed through some pleasant farmland where it was flanked on both sides by various fields and pastures. They waved to a farmer feeding a group of miltank as they passed by and at one point, Leslie briefly chased Fionn into a berry field where the eevee had suddenly decided to attempt some kind of heist. Clouds continued to gather across the sky as the group followed the lazy meandering road through the wide valley and when the dirt road connected to a much more modern paved one, they saw regular traffic again and knew they had almost arrived at their destination.

The last road lay before them like a worn tarmac ribbon with the city visible in the distance. When the city of Santalune began to spread before them, excitement surged as the pair got their first glimpse at city life in the Kalos region. The city was an odd collection of shapes. Domes, rectangles and old chateaus dotted with weather vanes and antennae. It was almost apologetically urban, with every few blocks seeming to contain a garden or a park or some other kind of greenery. And all along the main avenues were well manicured oak trees contained in their own small, perfectly arranged, square patches of grass. The sun had disappeared behind thick clouds shortly before their arrival and now the air felt increasingly damp.

“So, where to first? Don't we need to register somewhere?" Asked Leslie as she zipped up her jacket and held Fionn close.

“Registration is on the same day, so we can take care of that in the morning. For now, let's just find accommodation and get some good rest for tomorrow?"

“Good idea, I'd love a nice warm shower right now. What are the options?"

Aiden withdrew his tablet and quickly found the information they needed.

“Hmm, well it seems there's two hotels in the city. The two-star Castille Guesthouse and the five-star Ebony Plaza."

Leslie giggled softly. “I love how you say that as if we have a choice. Which way is the guest house?"

________________________

“No vacancies!?"

“No vacancies, that's correct sir, our last room was booked out this morning." The clerk repeated with perfectly held composure.

Aiden continued to protest. “But we need to get a room, we have a tournament tomorrow and we just spent a night out in the woods!"

“That's why we're full up sir, lots of people come into the city to watch the minor tournaments like these, it's a great way for spectators to see new blood and up-and-comers. To some that's more exciting than the professional competitions."

“Isn't there anything you can do?" Leslie added.

“I'm afraid not Madame, but there is always the Ebony Plaza, It's on the same block as the Pokemon center. Good day to you both." With that the clerk wandered along the counter to deal with a guest who had been waiting patiently throughout his exchange with the two young trainers.

After stepping outside the guesthouse, Aiden sighed as he began to look up the other hotel on his tablet, Lauma watching over his shoulder. Leslie stood nervously beside him, scritching at Fionn's head fluff. Aiden suddenly groaned and shook his head slightly.

“How much?" Leslie asked.

“Pretty much... all of it." He replied with a deflated tone.

“You mean...?"

“Yeah. If we take the room there for the night, that's it. No more money."

Silence fell between the two trainers for a few moments.

“What do you think?" Asked Leslie.

“Well, downside is, we'd be out of money." Replied Aiden as he continued to look over the hotel's info.

“That's a pretty big downside. Especially with our lack of supplies right now, that could be the end of our journey if this tournament doesn't work out."

“On the positive side of things, It's all inclusive. And think how well rested we'll be after a stay in a luxury hotel, we'll all certainly be well prepared."

A loud rumble sounded just as Aiden finished his sentence, causing Lauma to whimper softly as she dropped down into her trainer's arms. The blast of thunder was followed by a heavy shower beginning to pour from the sky. “And it'll be dry!" Aiden added, as he unzipped his jacket, wrapping one end around Lauma.

“Vui." Came an enthusiastic declaration from the other eevee as he pranced around the pair of trainers in the rain, clearly not as bothered about getting wet.

“Which way?" Leslie yelled to be held over the sound of the heavy downpour. Aiden waved for her to follow as both trainers ran down the street.

Two doors formed of darkened glass opened with a soft swishing sound as the duo hurriedly approached them. As they stepped inside, both Aiden and Leslie immediately felt rather out of place. Across the large lobby was an impressive looking reception desk, manned by staff members in very formal looking uniforms. To the side of the main entrance was a lounge area containing a grand piano with a soft melody being expertly played by its pianist. The visible guests were also particularly well dressed and the pair of trainers received a few odd glances as they walked through the lobby, dripping onto the marble tiled floor as they went.

As they approached the desk, another staff member appeared from the door behind the desk with a few towels, he briskly walked around the desk to offer them to the pair as he welcomed them in an accent so thick that the trainers barely comprehended it. As Aiden went through the check in progress, Leslie found her way over to the seating area where she sat in a comfy lounge chair and continued to dry herself off with the towel before doing the same for both Lauma and Fionn.

After getting the two Pokemon as dry as she could manage, she reclined back in the chair and sighed as she listened to the gentle tones of the piano and looked up at the large glass dome above the lobby. There were shiny black sculptures hanging from various points in the ceiling and the glass was colored in sections forming gorgeous geometric patterns. Leslie thought it must look particularly stunning with sunnier weather outside.

Aiden eventually joined them and sat down on another chair beside Leslie before handing her a keycard and a small welcome booklet.

“Here we go, one luxury suite, one evening, all inclusive. And... we're broke."

“Only until tomorrow." Leslie declared confidently, both eevees chiming in with yaps of support.

“Well I'm glad you guys are feeling confident." Aiden said as he leaned over to look at the welcome booklet as Leslie skimmed it annoyingly fast.

“Lets see... we've got a bar and restaurant, a pool and sauna, a gym, ooh there's a two hour laundry service!" Leslie sounded rather excited as she went through the list. She was still uneasy about the decision to come here but an evening of good rest was definitely needed if they were going to have any chance of winning the contest, and what was done was done after all and they may as well make the best of it.

“Maybe we should go check out the room and get settled, then we can decide what to do." Aiden said, Lauma jumping onto his shoulder as he got to his feet. Leslie nodded in agreement as she followed him to the elevators.

The interior of the elevator was rather spacious, presumably for guests with larger Pokemon. The walls were mirrored and polished to perfection, and a gentle prerecorded piano track continued to play within its confines. Aiden pressed the button marked '7' and the elevator ascended smoothly. His gaze briefly met Leslie's and he smiled.

“You look kinda excited." He said.

Leslie nodded “I've never gotten to stay in a fancy hotel before, it makes it feel like we're kinda important, or big-shots or something."

“Yeah, I know what you mean. We'll make the most of it."

A soft tone sounded and the doors opened again, revealing a lavishly carpeted hallway, lined with beautiful paintings and occasional black wooden doors with a large window in place of a wall at the passage's end. They remained quiet as they made their way down the passageway until arriving at the door marked '707'.

Leslie offered the keycard to Aiden and he placed it against the smooth black metal panel beside the door's handle. The outline of the panel illuminated a bright cyan and a brief but gentle whirring sound was heard as the door unlocked. Aiden reached for the handle and pushed the door. As it swung open, the revealed room was even more beautiful than either of them could have hoped for.

The walls were made of a polished dark wood and the floors carpeting was a rich gold color. The pair of trainers slipped off their shoes as they stepped inside and started to look around. The décor of the room was very tasteful, comprising various paintings and sculptures of Kalos Pokemon. One wall was covered almost entirely by large glass windows with a view looking out over the cityscape and towards the agricultural valley the pair had hiked through on their way to the city. There was a comfortable looking living area with a large sofa and a widescreen television set into the wall. At the other side of the room was a dining area with a small kitchenette containing a well-stocked fridge. The pair continued exploring their new temporary accommodation together, as they opened the sliding door on one wall the bedroom was revealed, it had large windows on one side just like the main room, and a large king-sized four-poster bed in the center.

Both trainers looked at each other. Neither of them had really considered it beforehand, but this was obviously a double room and sleeping arrangements would have to be discussed at some point. Or at least they both assumed so but both remained quiet as they just moved on, checking out the on-suite bathroom.

This room was the biggest surprise of all, being as big as the bedroom and just as beautiful. The floors and walls were marble and at the center of the room was a large bathtub recessed into the floor. There was an intricate stone structure along one side of the tub but no visible faucet. Within the tub itself was two platforms that, when it was filled, would form shallower places to sit or lay down within. It was clearly designed for larger Pokemon species and would easily fit two people, as would the very large glass shower cubicle in one of the corners of the room. There was some shelving stacked with bathrobes and towels and all manner of toiletries which Leslie was already rifling through.

“This is amazing Aiden!" She exclaimed. “I got dibs on using the bath first!"

“Hey, no way! I know what you're like, you'd be in here for ages." The other trainer protested.

“Well, it's supposed to be for relaxing right?" Leslie stated in an innocent voice, smiling sweetly at her friend in an effort to convince him.

“Just take a shower for now, you can relax in the tub later. After me and Lauma." He grinned now as he walked back into the bedroom, dropping his backpack and starting to unpack everything from it. Leslie followed him and started to do the same as she continued her argument.

“But, you said we should make the best of this! And Fionn could really use the relaxation considering what's coming tomorrow."

“Eev!" Fionn added as if contributing to the debate.

“Well so does Lauma!" Aiden retorted back.

“Lauma can join us! It's a really big tub!" Leslie smiled again, clasping her hands together in front of her chest in an almost begging motion.

Aiden just looked at the other trainer with an unimpressed expression. Leslie looked down at the floor, shuffling a socked foot against the carpet.

“No...? Well uhm... why don't we just relax in there at the same time?" She said sheepishly.

“Huh?... You mean, together?" Aiden went a little wide-eyed with his response.

Leslie gave a brisk nod. “Yuh huh." She wandered back into the bathroom and Aiden followed her as far as the door frame to watch what she was doing, still a little surprised by the girl's sudden lack of modesty.

She knelt down next to the bathtub and tapped the little black panel set into the abstract sculpture. The panel flickered to life and Leslie played around with the controls, trying to figure out how they worked. Fionn and Lauma both appeared at her side, curiously watching until a column of water suddenly sprang forth from the top of the sculpture, the water smoothly collected around the edge of the upper collection of twisted stone and began to cascade down the shaped sides in a controlled manner, creating a beautiful work of art itself as it finally followed a channel into the tub, filling it at a fair rate with warm steaming water.

“Eev Eev!" Came an enthusiastic shout from Fionn, echoed at a quieter volume by the other eevee.

“You sure about this?" Aiden asked his fellow trainer from the doorway.

“Yup, look at the size of it, there's plenty of space. And don't worry you won't have to be embarrassed, wait and see." She started to look through some of the neatly arranged toiletries and picked up a bottle before carrying it back to the tub, as she poured a liberal amount inside, a thick layer of bubbles began to form on the surface of the rising water.

“Oh..." Said Aiden before Leslie suddenly shoved a bathrobe into his hands.

“I'll call you back in a minute, go change into that!" She said as she shooed him out of the bathroom and closed the door. “Just that!" She added from the other side of the closed door before collecting another bathrobe and a stack of towels and placing them next to the tub. Fionn was still watching the bathtub fill, whilst Lauma took more interest in watching the human starting to undress. Leslie smiled when she noticed and then grinned as she continued to strip, leaving her clothes in a pile on the floor.

“You get to see more than your trainer now," She said to the watching Pokemon with a little laugh as she undid her bra, adding it to the pile before tugging her underpants down and stepping out of them, using a foot to push them towards the rest of her clothes.

“Eeeevvv." Came a soft tone from the eevee, she almost looked a little embarrassed.

The tub was full now and the excess water was pouring into a recess at the opposite side of the tub from where the sculpture was, maintaining the water level perfectly whilst keeping the flow of fresh water going, and the delightful relaxing sounds of a waterfall.

Leslie walked over and slowly dipped her foot into the water. She gasped before letting out more of a soothed moan as she carefully lowered the rest of her body into the tub, sitting on one of the side platforms. Just as she had hoped, the water came up to just over her breasts and the opaque layer of bubbles would keep her body nice and hidden. She sighed deeply as she leaned back and relaxed, reaching out a hand to pet her Pokemon who was still standing on the edge of the tub right where she was seated.

“Are you going to join us Aiden?" She called after a moment. The bathroom door swung open and her friend shyly wandered in. “Come on, you don't know what you're missing, I'm not gonna look." She turned around on the spot, kneeling where she had just been sitting and showing Aiden her back as she gave Fionn some more attention. Lauma had quickly run over to join her trainer who was blushing as he watched Leslie, knowing that those bubbles were the only thing blocking his view of her naked body. Lauma suddenly bit at the hem of his bathrobe, tugging at it forcefully until Aiden relented and undid the belt, letting the robe fall to the floor. He hurried over to the tub as if he was worried that Leslie may turn around and look just to embarass him. He slipped straight in, gasping as the hot water enveloped his skin, stinging it for a few moments until he gradually got used to the temperature.

Leslie pulled Fionn into her arms and as she turned back over to her original position, she held him close to her torso, only his head and fore paws above the water. The Pokemon seemed to relax as the warm water soaked into his fur.

“There, told you this would work." Leslie said as she smiled at Aiden.

“Mm... this is nice." He said, trying to keep eye contact with her as he spoke. He was glad his blushing was probably easily passed off as the effects of the hot bath.

“Vui-vui!" Came a call from Lauma to get her trainer's attention, he turned to her and pulled her close, cradling her in his arms as he lowered her into the tub with him.

For the next ten minutes, both trainers and Pokemon stayed silent, enjoying the relaxing bath. Exchanging a glance every now and then but mostly keeping their eyes closed.

Fionn suddenly decided he wanted to turn over to face his trainer and as he tried to do just that, he leaned a hind paw down on the water on top of her thigh, but slipped as he tried to rotate his body, completely submerging himself with a sizable splash. He immediately surfaced, pawing at the water, paddling to keep afloat as he let out a little note of embarrassment.

Both trainers laughed at the Pokemon but as he swam the tiny distance back to his trainer, Aiden noticed that the eevee had done a pretty good job of clearing away a lot of the bubbles around his trainer, allowing a clear view of her breasts, her nipples visible under the water. Aiden looked away in embarrassment at first but felt his view dragged back downwards, her breasts were rather small but Aiden thought they were very attractive, looking especially perky in the buoyancy of the water. The trainer could feel arousal growing in response to the spectacle and he shifted slightly in his seated position as he felt his manhood swell slightly under the warm water.

As Fionn clambered out the side of the tub, Leslie turned her attention back to Aiden and noticed him staring. She glanced down and quickly realized why.

“S-sorry!" He said as he looked back up at her apologetically and nervously.

Leslie suddenly blushed deeply and glared at the other trainer, but rather than make any effort to cover herself up, she sighed and gave a little shrug, closing her eyes and trying to relax again. “Don't get used to this view." She said softly as Fionn laid down on the edge of the tub, leaning his head on her shoulder.

Aiden didn't respond except with little more blushing, he leaned back as well, idly running his fingers through Lauma's tummy fur underneath the water.

Another little while passed with no sound but the tumbling water.

“What should we do after this?" Leslie said the next time she spoke up. “We could go eat down in the restaurant?"

“I've got a better idea." Replied Aiden.

“What's that?"

“Let's get all of our clothes picked up for laundry, then we'll hang out in the room and order room service. Just be nice and lazy for the rest of the evening."

“Ooh that sounds like a good plan." Said Leslie, smiling warmly. “We should make sure and get an early night anyway."

As Aiden met her gaze, he suddenly looked a little shy again. “About that... What exactly are the sleeping arrangements tonight?"

Leslie gave her usual little shrug. “It's a big bed Aidi. We'll manage." She poked her tongue out at him, getting a playful smile in response. “Anyway, I'm gonna get out now, turn around until I get my towel. And no peeking."

Tempting as the alternative was, Aiden placed Lauma on the edge of the tub as he obediently turned away, allowing Leslie to step up out of the tub and wrap one of the waiting towels around her body. She collected a bathrobe for herself as well before leaving the room.

The rest of the evening was indeed a relaxing experience. After having room service collect their laundry, they ordered food from the hotel's restaurant for themselves and their eevees and ate the lavish meals whilst lounging around in their bathrobes watching the television and discussing the morning's competition.

After the sun went down, Leslie was the first of the two to decide to turn in for the night. As she entered the bedroom and closed the door behind her and her Pokemon she removed her bathrobe and slipped on her freshly laundered nightshirt. She briefly considered just getting into bed like that as she usually would. The multitude of embarrassing scenarios she was able to quickly think of changed her mind and she pulled on a pair of clean panties before slipping into the large comfy bed.

She let out a blissful moan as she wriggled around under the comfy duvet for a moment before Fionn climbed in beside her. She stuck to one side of the bed and reached for the panel on the wall, tapping it and plunging the room into darkness.

Her arm found its way around the eevee and she pulled him close, spooning with him just like any other night.

“Rest well Fionn, I know you're going to do great tomorrow."
