The Froggy Lizard Meet of Fate

Pride Month 2023

By J.C. Solis

There was nothing more miserable than being alone in the local canteen, feeling down on your luck, and figuring out what to do with your life after much misery and suffering. It was hard to find one's way forward when so much uncertainty lay before oneself. And this feeling was something that caused much heartache when it came to this feeling coming from a source that had long since provided a source of angst and shame: one's own family.

And yet, for precisely this reason, Ryuji was alone at the local bar, wondering what had become of his life and what led to this moment. It was a depressing time for the poor Greninja, wondering what to do next and what he could do to make amends with those whom he supposedly hurt. Even after downing drink after sordid drink he just couldn't escape his sorrow. Normally the ninja frog stayed away from the devil's liquid, enjoying perhaps one drink or two mostly during parties. But now he was on his sixth drink and was contemplating a seventh. He was noticeably drunk, though not enough to heave the contents of his stomach or pass out from alcohol poisoning. He had some alcohol tolerance, thankfully.

But Ryuji was at a loss as to what to do. He lost his family - or at the very least their support for him. Being a homosexual tended to cause this in families, and his parents, who were the conservatives and traditionalists, didn't like it when their son came out of the closet as gay. His father was especially angered by this, the older Greninja a battle-hardened warrior who wanted his son to be tough as nails and impressive in a fight. But Ryuji was not a fighter, and his choice of being an artist and musician didn't sit well with his father. Though his mother was more supportive of him throughout his education in the arts, she just couldn't bring herself to support him when he revealed his true nature - and especially when her husband went on a tirade against the younger Greninja for his supposed sin.

To his father, Ryuji was a failure. And to his older siblings, he was the black sheep of the family. Everyone went off to make something with their lives while the younger Greninja tried to carve out his life in the way he wanted to. And when he came out as a homosexual, his brothers and sisters ostracized him even more.

Ryuji felt unloved. He had lost the people who meant the most to him - or at the very least, the people whom he thought he could confide in this personal secret. And now he lost his home, his family's love, and his hope for a brighter future. All the poor pokémon could do was look at his seventh drink and feel at a loss. He wanted to cry right then and there, wondering what he could do next to carve a path for himself. He was lost and confused, all while living in a city like Perkinsville, a conservative place that didn't enjoy the presence of anyone from the LGBTQ community, let alone a gay Greninja.

But Ryuji pushed away his seventh drink, feeling as though he had drunk enough. He'd be heading back to his apartment that was a short block away from the downtown district where he was at. There he would lie down on his bed, nearing the verge of tears, and lament his life and all that he had lost. It was a horrible fate, but one that followed many who decided to follow their hearts and the pleasures they wanted to seek.

It was when Ryuji was about to leave the pub that he felt a presence behind him. He turned to see a lone Inteleon, the blue lizard standing tall in front of him as he smiled at the poor ninja frog and his downtrodden face. It seemed as though the male pokémon knew what was hurting inside of him, and his warm smile told of a pokémon who had seen this kind of face on others before. It was a face that looked like it wanted to help. And it was a face that had seen this suffering on other pokémon's faces before.

"Oy, mate, you don't look all that chipper now, do you?" said the Inteleon in a noticeable British accent. It was clear that this pokémon hailed from the Galar Region, given his dialect.

"Is it that obvious?" noted Ryuji in a glum voice. "I guess I've been through stuff and half recently. I just don't know what to do."

The Inteleon took a seat next to him, hoping to hear the words of the Greninja with a sad face.

"Well, my good friend, there's nothing quite like having a shoulder to cry on. If there's something on your chest, before to let it all out before you blow into tears."

But Ryuji got the feeling that this Inteleon was looking for more than just a conversation.

"I'm not looking for a One Night Stand right now, guy. I'm not in the mood for anything except to drink and feel sorry for myself."

The Inteleon recoiled, seemingly worried at what he unintentionally implied.

"No, mate, nothing like that!" exclaimed the Inteleon with panic. He then calmed down and tried to explain his motives. "I just don't like seeing a bloke who's down and out after Arceus knows what happened to him. If you don't feel like talking, then that's right and dandy. But if you want to lay off some grief, then I'm more than willing to listen."

Ryuji only sighed, seeing as if his new friend had a point. There was no reason to keep this a secret. And even if the Inteleon was shocked at what he had to say, then at least a stiff drink will help keep his nerves at bay.

"I had a bit of a fallout with my family over me being gay," replied Ryuji. "Not only that, but some pokémon outside are even bullying me after they found out about my orientation." He then looked at the Inteleon with a somber face. "If you too have a problem with me, then you can get in line. I've got enough shit going on in my life right now."

The Inteleon only smiled. He had seen this kind of behavior before.

"I'm into mates, too," the blue lizard admitted. "And I too had a bit of beef with my folks. But they eventually learned to live with me for who I am. I'm right sore that your family is upset with you. But drinking yourself to death never solved anything."

Ryuji looked at the Inteleon and his sincerity. This was perhaps something that the poor frog needed - someone who understood him and his situation.

"What's your name then? That'd be a start," said the Greninja as he felt his new friend finally breaking the ice. "My name is Ryuji. Maybe you heard of my dad, Samanosuke?"

"The Samurai Greninja? Yeah, I've heard of that bloke," admitted the Inteleon. "I understand how a man like that can be hard on you. My name is Lionel, by the way. My Da may not be as strict or as feared as yours, but I still had a bit of a row with him over me liking males," admitted Lionel. "But My old man realized who I was at heart, and now the old codger doesn't bother me as much about it."

Ryuji nodded his head at hearing this. He wished that his father was more understanding like Lionel's dad. The older Greninja practically disowned his son for being who he was.

"I'm sorry that you have to see me like this, Lionel," apologized Ryuji. "I just feel like shit right now. I wish my father would understand that this is simply my nature. I don't want him to be upset with me. I promised him I'd practice battling and fighting. I want to make him proud of me, but so far he may not be proud of me ever so long as I'm gay. Even if I became a Grandmaster Fighter, my dad won't be able to see past me being gay."

Lionel patted Ryuji on the back, feeling the strife that the Greninja had been going through and the turmoil that had been brewing in his family over the past few weeks. But there was much more to be said about Ryuji's life as a result of coming out of the closet.

"My dad now won't even talk to me, and he kicked me out of our home and took away my fortunes. I don't have a place to stay, and I barely have a Pokémon Dollar to my name. I don't know what to do with myself right now, and I just feel so lost and confused right now."

At this, Lionel began to smile.

"Well, how about this, mate? Why now stay at my pad and become my roommate? I have an extra room in my house, and I sure could use someone to help keep the place clean and tidy. Do you have a source of income? I think you helping with the rent and amenities will be a good load off of me."

Ryuji turned and smiled at the Inteleon, happy to hear his generosity in offering him a second chance. He was not going to let his new friend down.

"I don't expect to be a lazy ass. I earn my keep via combat battles, and I think I can earn enough money as a Martial Arts Teacher to keep us afloat. Though, would you really be okay with me being your roommate? I don't want to be a burden on you or anything."

"No fret, Ryuji! I can tell you'd be a swell roommate. Now come - let's get out of here and get you set in your new room. My apartment is not far from here. I can show you around, and then we can see about you sobering up a bit so you can get well acquainted."

Ryuji stood up from his stool, only to see him stumble to try and keep himself upright. It was clear that the Greninja had too much to drink. But Lionel only smiled as he went over and put an arm underneath Ryuji's armpit and tried his best to carry his new friend back to his home. It was perhaps a meet of fate, that Lionel would notice Ryuji down on his luck as the poor Greninja was suffering from problems with his own family. But the Inteleon was not about to allow someone like this to suffer because of things that were going on in his life. He would be sure to give Ryuji a place to stay and an environment where he would be appreciated.

Lionel was a kind pokémon who didn't like to see others suffer. He enjoyed being in the company of others and did his best to make all his friends happy. He was an outgoing and righteous pokémon who didn't care about the judgment of others. All he wanted to do was to live in peace and enjoy life his own way. It was indeed curious that he had the generosity to allow Ryuji, a complete stranger to him, to live with him in his home. But the water lizard was a humanitarian in many ways, and he was not about to let someone suffer when there was something that he could do.

The two water pokémon left the bar and went on their way to Lionel's apartment. But it was when the two of them left the bar that they came across some company that was less than supportive of the two being together.

"Look! There's Ryuji, guys!" cried out a Weavile heckler.

"Looks like the gay frog got himself a One Night Stand for tonight," jeered a Bisharp.

"Go home and have fun with your date, Ryuji!" said a Zangoose.

But Lionel would not take any of this talk lying down.

"Piss off, you wankers! Hasn't the man suffered enough because of louts like you?!" roared Lionel as he gave the hecklers a piece of his mind.

But the hecklers weren't going to take that with dignity.

"You got a problem with that, Gay boy?" asked the Zangoose.

"We'll kick the crap out of you want us to, dumbass," added the Weavile.

Ryuji lifted his head weakly, trying to tell Lionel that there was no need for him to fight.

"These assholes were sent by my dad. He ordered them to heckle me. They're members of his dojo, and they've been trained well by him."

But this only served to fuel the Inteleon's frustration.

"If your Da sent these blooming jokers here to give you a hard time, then even more reason to give them a beating." Lionel then stood up to the bullies and got ready for a fight. "If any of you fucking good for nothings got what it takes to take me on, then be my damn guest. But I suggest you three apologize and turn around from whence you came if you don't want a severe beating."

Though Lionel stood tall and proud, the bullies just burst into laughter, feeling that the numbers advantage they had and the training they received from Samanosuke would be enough to beat him.

"We'll make you regret this, pal," said the Bisharp bully, who then charged forward with the move Iron Head as he tried to headbutt Lionel with his sharp head horn.

Lionel, though, got out of the way of the move, and as soon as he stepped out of the way and missed the hit he extended his arm outward and pointed his finger, the move Snipe Shot jetting from his index finger as the torrent of powerful water shot forward and hit the Bisharp on the back of the head, causing the metal soldier pokémon to stumble after being hit in a critical area.

Next came the Weavile, who wanted payback for the Inteleon hitting his friend. The Weavile charged forwards with Fury Swipes, doing his best to try and reach for Lionel to try and scratch his face and other parts of his body. But the Inteleon proved to be too swift as he dodged all the clawed swipes that would've easily turned him into minced meat. The Weavile continued using Fury Swipes to do his best to reach the Inteleon for dissing him and his friends, but the lizard side-stepped all of his attempts to reach him.

Having had enough, Lionel allowed the Weavile to get close to him, only to make his hand into a fist and use the move Brick Break to smash against the Weavile's head. The assaulter was hit by the devastatingly powerful Double-Effective move, and he collapsed to the floor as he was knocked out by the blow to the head.

After seeing his friend be KO'd, the Zangoose charged forward with his claws extended, his aim to use Fury Cutter to try and deal a devastating blow to Lionel. But the Inteleon once again proved to be too fast, and one side-step with blazing speed later and he used another Brick Break move to deal critical damage to the side of the Zangoose's head. The mongoose pokémon fell to the floor, his eyes swirling with stars as he was knocked out in one hit, just like his Weavile partner.

But Lionel hadn't taken out everyone. The Bisharp made a charge straight for him, his Iron Head move aimed directly at Lionel's back while he wasn't looking. But before the soldier-like pokémon could connect his horn with Lionel's back, a star-shaped water blade smacked against the side of the Bisharp, sending him flying to the side. Lionel turned around to see Ryuji having used Water Shuriken to hit the assailant before he could connect with the Water Lizard.

Ryuji and Lionel regrouped, standing next to each other as they saw the assailants groggily stagger themselves upright from the devastating hits that they took. The Bisharp, Zangoose, and Weavile looked angrily at the two water-type pokémon, upset that they couldn't take the two down. But with them now together, it was clear that there would be no winning this fight.

"We'll be back! You won't escape a beating next time, Gay Boy!" roared the Weavile.

"And your old man sends his regards," added the Zangoose.

The three pokémon brutes turned around and went on their way, upset that they could not best the two of them. But when Lionel was done staring down the three cowards as they turned tail, he looked at Ryuji with a wide smile on his face.

"Bloody hell, you're quite good in a scrap, Ryuji mate," noted Lionel.

"Well, my dad taught me how to fight well," admitted the Greninja. "But these skills are what I use to fight off against these bastards."

"I heard them say that your Da sends his regards. Did he truly send these arse-holes after you?"

Ryuji nodded his head.

"My dad is ashamed of me. I escaped a beating from him when he found out that I was gay, and so he commanded his students to come hunting for me and to give me the beating that I managed to escape from. I know that he's going to be pissed when he finds out the truth,"

This revelation didn't sit too well with Lionel.

"Well, your Da can piss off with his goons, and his anti-homosexual banter. It's pokémon like him and his students that make this world such a hate-filled place to be in. I don't ever want to see the new friend I just made be beaten by others, especially if it is by his father."

Ryuji nodded his head in agreement.

"I can't fight my dad, of course. One, he's much stronger than both you and I combined. And second off, he still means a lot to me. He helped me grow up and get stronger. I can't fight to hurt him even if he were to get really upset with me and challenge me to a duel. And he came close to doing that when he found out about my orientation."

Lionel nodded his head. It must have been hard for Ryuji to live with the fact that his father was upset with him over this issue. But then again, there was no reason for the older Greninja to fight his son and even send his students after him. The important thing now was that Ryuji was safe, and the two worked hard towards besting the others who had come after him on his father's orders. There had to be some way that the two could reconcile and become a family again. But that dream seemed a bit off in the distance. Whatever would happen would have to happen in its own time. Time would be what would decide whether the father and son could at least come to terms with their differences.

For now, Lionel promised to take Ryuji in, and he was not about to go back on his word.

"Well, for now, there's not much a bloke like you or I can do at this moment. But I said that I'd allow you to join me as a roommate, and I'm not about to go back on my word." With his, Lionel turned to his side as he beckoned Ryuji forward. "Come, mate. Allow me to share my home with you."

Ryuji looked at the Inteleon with a look of confusion, but also one with gratitude. A smile began to crease on his face, the Greninja feeling all the happier with this new lease on his life. With this, he accepted the offer that his new friend offered him, and so he joined Lionel on their walk through the streets of downtown Perkinsville. Ryuji followed his new friend with a grateful heart, especially when the two arrived at an apartment building that had the looks of a quaint home and a comfortable place to live.

Lionel put the code into the front door keypad lock, which he got Ryuji to memorize since he would be living there now. And the two stepped into the main foyer area and went up a couple of flights of stairs to the second floor. It was immediately following the stairs that they arrived at apartment 201, which was the place where Lionel was staying. The Inteleon took out his key and turned the lock over, pushing the door inside once unlocked to reveal what was inside the apartment.

The pad was tidy, the door leading straight into a living room that looked squeaky clean. It looked like the place of someone who spent a good deal of time meticulously cleaning every nook and cranny, not allowing for even the slightest particle of dust to bundle up together within the room. And the furniture - such as a large leather sofa, the central coffee table, and even the infotainment system - all looked well taken care of and without the slightest blemish to ruin the overall cleanliness that was present.

Ryuji wondered if he deserved to live in such a nice abode. He never had his own place, much less share an apartment with someone whom he recently met. Then again, it wasn't as though he had any other choice. He was practically homeless, and unless he wanted to pay to stay a couple of nights at the nearby hotel, then this would be his only option for getting a warm bed and a good night's sleep. At the end of the day, he was someone who was in need, and Lionel was practically making him an offer that he couldn't refuse. It was going to be a while before he'd get his life together, and it would be a painful process while doing so.

At this, Lionel turned around to see the face of his new roomie. But the smile he had on soon went away when he saw the stoic look on his new roommate, as well as the tear that was dripping down his face. Ryuji was being overcome by his emotions, and Lionel wanted to make sure that his new friend would feel as comfortable as could be.

"Sorry for any dirt or clutter in my home, mate," said Lionel. "No need to cry, my friend. I know you've got your knickers in a bunch over me giving you a place to stay, but I just hope you'll get nice and comfortable. I know this is a bit much right now to take in, what with your Da being a dick towards you right now. Just relax and take in the moment."

Ryuji nodded his head.

"Thank you, Lionel," said Ryuji. "Thank you for opening your door to me. I don't know how I can repay you. I promise to help pay rent and clean the place up whenever I can."

"Aw, mate, that's all I ask from you. Just help keep this place as tidy as yah found it, or even better if you can, and we'll be square. As for rent, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, right?"

Ryuji felt even more grateful for his friend's generosity, hoping he could eventually repay him for his kindness. The Greninja was no loafer, and he honestly enjoyed doing a good day of hard work. He mostly earned his money through Sponsored Battle Matches at the local Stadium and by training younger, less experienced fighters to improve their combat skills. But with his reputation effectively going down the drain He was uncertain whether he could rely on this as a source of income.

For now, though, the Greninja could only sigh as he walked further into the apartment and tried to get himself comfortable. A lot still needed to be done, and he wanted to repay Lionel as best as he could. All that was needed was time.

Ryuji would make sure that his new roommate wouldn't regret having him over...

It had now been over a month since Ryuji moved in with his new roommate and best friend, Lionel. It has been a rather difficult time to readjust, but not because Lionel proved to be a far different pokémon than the Greninja expected. Lionel was an honest, down-to-earth, and relaxed young Inteleon with a lot of drive and passion. What truly affected Ryuji was having to impose on his new roommate - even if he was paying rent and taking part in the cleanliness of the apartment. Plus, Ryuji didn't want to incur the wrath of his father on his new friend. If he was to be punished for his proclivities, then he didn't want to bring anyone else down with him that could end up getting hurt.

But Lionel remained a staunch supporter of the Greninja and his insecurities. The two often headed out to dinner at a restaurant or went to see movies at the movie theatre. Though the two weren't dating, with the way the two were acting it'd be hard not to think that the two were a couple. Then again, it wasn't that the two hadn't thought that the other wasn't attractive to them. Lionel and Ryuji both felt that the other was their type, though out of respect for Ryuji's current situation they both didn't pursue each other and made any attempts to woo each other.

As for the hope that Ryuji would be able to reconnect with his father, the son sent a letter addressed to his father via mail. The letter explained his situation and apologized to the older Greninja, hoping that he would soften his stance against his son and at the very least give him some slack. Ryuji wanted to keep being his father's son, and he even emphasized how he still practiced martial arts as a means of maintaining the family honor and tradition of fighting.

But in a letter that Ryuji received from his old man, there was just one sentence:

"You are no longer My Son."

This letter brought Ryuji to the verge of tears, so much so that he had to sit down due to heart palpitations and the sheer dismay he felt. And Lionel stayed by his side to ease his friend's suffering and woe. This letter was just devastating, and Ryuji didn't know how to make things right from here on out. And what was worse was that there were still students of his father who were actively pursuing him, all ordered by his father. It was such a disheartening thing to witness, and the poor pokémon didn't know what to make of it.

On this day, a Saturday, the two of them were seated on the living room sofa and were watching a movie via a streaming service on their TV. It was a bit of a warm day, with the temperature in the 80s Fahrenheit. The local watering holes would all be full of folks who'd be searching for ways to beat the heat, and Lionel suggested perhaps the two heading out to get a drink and maybe mingle with some people. But poor Ryuji was still a nervous wreck, and he wasn't in much of a mood for any drink,

"Come now, mate, you can't stay shelled up like this," noted Lionel. "We have to come out of the apartment eventually. You know how to fight, anyways. Didn't you win in your last match?"

The match Lionel was referring to was a Martial Arts battle that Ryuji recently took part in. Since he could no longer represent his father's dojo, he had to take part as an individual entity without representation. Though he received some jeers for him coming out publicly as gay, those boos and jeers were eventually silenced when He knocked out the opponent in three moves. Though he may have received some flack over his being homosexual, sexual orientation didn't matter when it came to combat skills, and he utterly embarrassed the opponent he was against.

Not only did he beat the opponent, but the victory was so astounding that previous sponsors that he had before - those that left once he came out of the closet - immediately began to support him again. Being straight or gay or bisexual didn't matter when it came to his prowess. He still proved to be a force to be reckoned with, and the people soon began to admire his power and finesse - albeit still a little strained over his orientation.

But one thing that Ryuji could feel in the tournament was a glare facing him throughout the whole ordeal. He knew that Samanosuke was watching his every move. Though he was not visibly present within the arena audience, he knew his father was out there eyeing his stance and his poise. He hoped that his father would at least note that he still practiced his martial arts and that he still aimed to be a Master just like his old man. Yet there was no telling what the father had in his mind, and he was still silent as to what he thought of.

The one person who was supporting him throughout was Lionel, who was cheering the loudest when Ryuji won the battle. When the room was filled with silence upon the victory, he clapped his hands and raised his voice. It was only then that everyone else began to clap as well. Ryuji was still the potent warrior that he had been even before he came out. And the people were quick to recognize that he was the same man as before.

When Ryuji and Lionel left the arena, the two decided to celebrate by going to a local restaurant to have a delicious meal. And even a few of Ryuji's long-time fans came by to congratulate him as he tucked into a delicious bowl of ramen.

That victory was a week ago, and now Ryuji was spending some downtime with Lionel. His fear of his father still hadn't left, and he was still afraid to go outside - even though he's proven multiple times that he'd be more of a match for most pokémon out there. But though he practiced Martial Arts, Ryuji was still a peace-loving and friendly pokémon, and he was far from willing to face off against others unless it was in a sanctioned arena battle.

"Come now, Mate, let's go out somewhere. People are loving you again. And if any wankers decide to give you trouble, then you know that I got your back," assured Lionel.

At last, after hearing enough encouragement, Ryuji relented.

"I suppose," said Ryuji with a sigh. "Yeah, let's head out. I guess I can't stay cooped up in here forever. I need to get some sun and enjoy the city a little."

"Bang up thinking, mate," cheered Lionel. "We don't have to go to a bar or anything crazy. Why not go to the bookstore? I know you love looking at books that teach you martial arts. And I know I love a good book about fast-paced action. There's even a café there. Let's read a little and get a drink."

Ryuji nodded his head. He indeed enjoyed reading books on Martial arts, but he was also into books about romance and love. He was a bit of a bookworm who enjoyed a good feel-good story. And it wasn't as though anyone would attack him in the middle of store property.

The two headed out of their apartment and went down the streets. Though the Greninja was still worried about being followed and attacked, he stowed away his fears for the sake of enjoying his afternoon with Lionel. The streets were busy with the usual hubbub of cars and pedestrians. But as Ryuji went down the streets, he noticed the faces of people that looked back at him. Expecting scorn and rejection, what he received instead were smiles and nods of the head. There was still the occasional scornful look, but the friendly faces far outnumbered those who were antagonistic.

The two arrived at the Perkinsville Center Plaza, a shopping center in the heart of the city that was almost always full of people. And it was here that Ryuji felt that he would be in the most danger.

But to his complete surprise, just like in the streets, the pokémon of the center also looked at him with kindness. They didn't care about his admission and his past. Some even said a good "hello" to him or even waved at him. Ryuji was already famous before he came out of the closet, but the same people he feared would turn against him instead treated him the same as before.

This attitude perplexed Ryuji, especially considering that most folks in Perkinsville weren't all too supportive of homosexuality. And when a group of pokémon came forward, he tensed up in preparation for a fight - only to be shocked at what happened next.

"Hey there, Mister Ryuji!" said a young teen Tyrogue. "Wow! I can't believe it's you!"

"Damn, you're that Greninja with the awesome fighting skills! I can't believe it's you!" said another teen Tyrogue, looking like the first one's brother.

Ryuji tensed up as two adults came up to the teens - perhaps these being the parents. Expecting the two to admonish their children for approaching an openly gay pokémon, instead the parents also surprised him as well.

"So, you're the gay martial artist that my boys are talking about," noted the Hitmonlee father.

Ryuji tensed up. "I am. I don't mean to cause your boys trouble," he responded respectfully.

The mother, a female Lucario, only smiled warmly.

"No need to fret, young man. You might be gay, but you're a great fighter," noted the mother. "Our boys are in love with you. Your fighting is quite impeccable."

Ryuji wondered if he ought to take these kind words to heart. Perhaps there was still hope for him if he was receiving praise for his fighting abilities despite him being the way that he was. But He knew better than to get used to this feeling. There were bound to be many more pokémon who were the exact opposite. He knew there'd be those who wouldn't appreciate his company.

But what surprised Ryuji the most was just how many people came out to see him. Even before he came out as being gay he had a strong following among the people. People enjoyed his fighting, and they all cheered and supported him. Though he lost a lot of hometown supporters for his orientation, it seemed that his recent victory proved that he was still a great combatant despite being the way he was. And besides Pokémon University, Perkinsville was also known for being a place that was enthralled by the World Fighter's Guild - the organization responsible for hosting Pokémon battles for sport and fun.

Ryuji was the hometown kid, the one that fought for the glory of his city. And He was proud to have made many fans over the years who'd visit his every match. But it seemed that his recent victory reminded people that - despite his proclivities - he was still the native hero who made their city proud. And it surprised Ryuji, even more, when a full crowd of people began to gather around him, some taking photos and others asking for autographs, with some even offering to buy him food.

Lionel was pleased to see that his roommate was receiving attention. There was nothing wrong with being gay, in his eyes. And if people were to judge primarily on that, then there was no reason for people to keep showing up to his matches - and no reason for him to bring Perkinsville any more glory.

"See, mate? Everyone's supporting you! You still got the will of people behind your back!" cheered Lionel as he patted the Greninja on the back.

But Ryuji could sense a presence that was not too pleased to see him around.

"Not everyone is happy," the Greninja said morosely.

The crowd soon parted ways to reveal someone coming, and since they did so silently mean that someone powerful and well-respected was on his way. And this was the moment that Ryuji had come to fear the most. It was someone who struck fear in the heart of the arena and someone who taught him everything that he knew.

The crowd parted to reveal Samanosuke, the elder Greninja, and his deep, disapproving scowl.

"So, you finally decided to show yourself out in public." The voice of Samanosuke was powerful and deep, his words commanding authority. "I had figured a coward like yourself would keep on hiding."

Ryuji bent his head down, feeling deep shame while being in front of his father.

"Dad," said Ryuji. "I guess... I guess that you're still mad at me, correct?"

"If I was angry at you, I would have beaten you by now." This reassurance did anything but reassure. "But that still does not change how disgraced I feel by your turning towards homosexuality. I thought that I had raised you better. Apparently, I was wrong."

Ryuji now looked close to bawling in tears, and his father's cold words served to cause him even more distress.

However, there was someone who proved unamused by the older Greninja's cold words.

"Piss off, you overzealous bigot!" called out Lionel as he stepped forward to defend his friend. "You don't know what in the bloody hell you did, banishing My Mate here with your words. He's an excellent fighter, and someone to be proud of! If you can't give him love, then I might as well!"

"Lionel!" cried out Ryuji. "Please! I don't want you to have to fight my Dad!"

"This small fry wouldn't even land a hit on me," challenged Samanosuke.

"I'd sure as bloody hell like to try, you bastard!" replied Lionel.

And with that, Lionel charged forward with his fist raised to deal a Brick Break. But Samanosuke dodged the hit and returned a Counter straight at the Inteleon's face, staggering him severely. And yet Lionel would not yield. He went to deliver another Brick Break, only for the move to again be dodged and a Counter landing right on his face yet again. The hit was so hard that it caused a cut on his face, his blood bleeding from the wound.

The same repetition kept happening as Samanosuke delivered blow after heavy blow, all without receiving a single hit. It was then that the elder Greninja used Water Shuriken to deliver the coup de gras. The water star smashed against Lionel at close range, and the hit sent him flying backward. Lionel landed back on the ground, smacking the floor hard as he was near to being KO'd. But still, the Water Lizard refused to yield, staggering upwards and glaring at Samanosuke with defiance.

"You are strong, indeed," acknowledged the trained fighter. "But you are still nothing but gay trash. And trash deserves to be disposed of."

"Well, mate, I've yet begun to fight!"

This supposedly final duel was something that someone, in particular, would not stand for.

"Stop it!" roared Ryuji as he got in the way between both Samanosuke and Lionel. He then turned and glared angrily at his father. "You are the one who is trash! You forced me to train and to always win the battle unless I receive a beating, and you never showed me love! All I did was make you happy with me, even if just a tiny smile was enough! But you threw me away! I fought with all my heart and body for you, and yet you never appreciated anything!" It was then that his rage got the better of him. "You only value pokémon useful to you! But now I see that you're nothing but a prideful bastard who doesn't value anything but himself and strength!

"If you ever want to see me again, yet better apologize. Otherwise, I'll reveal secrets that you told me that are far from legal!"

Samanosuke was at a loss for words, though perhaps more out of fury than shock. His urge was to beat his son then and there.

"I have no son then," he said coldly. "You will never set foot in our house again!"

"So, then, were the matches you fixed a lie, then? How did one of your fighters win because you bribed the other team to lose? You never did that to me, of course. You let me receive a beating. You never cared for me!"

At this point, the crowd gasped at the revelation. Samanosuke then turned white. He knew of the danger was now in. If word got out, then the WFG would ban him from ever participating.

But the damage was done. People now saw how much of a cheat the older Greninja was. If he were to antagonize Ryuji even more, then his son would reveal even more secrets - some of them being enough to count as a criminal offense. And the people quickly turned on Samanosuke and booed and jeered at him and his shady dealings. All the while, Ryuji stood tall and proud, glaring menacingly at his father, almost daring him to try something.

In the end, Ryuji had all the cards at his disposal. And he was more than willing to contact the authorities if he were to antagonize him more.

Never had Samanosuke felt so weak and vulnerable. And he just realized the monster that he had created long ago.

"Leave, and never search for me again. If you ever send your students after me, and all without giving me a full apology, then I'll go straight to the WFG and ruin you." The younger Greninja then gave one final warning. "I will never set foot in your dojo and fight for you again until you apologize. I will burn everything you ever built to the ground. Thank you for making me strong, Da! Now, I'm strong enough to stand up to you and all of your bullshit!"

Samanosuke didn't take kindly to him being offended by his son. The sheer audacity was unheard of, and his blood began to boil even more. But one look at the jeering crowd and the elder Greninja knew that he lost the support of the masses. People were shouting "You don't deserve Your Son" and even "Go away, you cheating bastard!" and so on. His son had brought great dishonor to him and his legacy, and his reputation had now been tainted. There was nothing he could do to make amends, and his legacy would forever be known as a match-fixer and a horrible father.

To this, Samanosuke looked morosely at the crowd and at his son. Without even so much as raising a finger, Ryuji had defeated his father. And the Old Martial artist knew that the end was coming.

"You win, Son," said Samanosuke glumly. "Perhaps I've been too hard on you. I don't deserve a son like you. And I apologize."

With that Samanosuke turned around and went back home, having just lost both his son and his dignity. He would need time to process this defeat, to accept what he had done, and to do damage control with what remained of his dignity. All the while, Ryuji glared at his father, finally having the courage to stand up to his old man and make him treat him better. With Samanosuke gone, the crowd returned to cheering for Ryuji and Lionel. And Lionel especially was happy to have seen his friend become so strong.

"Bang up job, mate," said Lionel enthusiastically. "I've never seen you like this. You certainly got some balls to able to do this."

"Well, I thank you for giving me the courage to stand up to my old man," clarified Ryuji. "And thank you for taking on my old man for me, though I knew you wouldn't be able to beat him."

"Ah, that wanker is lucky none of my hits connected with him."

It was then that Ryuji and Lionel began to look sheepishly at one another. The two had feelings for each other, and even more so when Lionel proved his loyalty to his friend. It was a serene moment of Serendipity, and the two wondered where their relationship would go next. Lionel and Ryuji smiled at each other, the two walking away as they held each other's hands. The crowds saw this, and though the two were afraid of being judged, they were relieved to see the crowd following them and even cheering them on.

It was an odd thing for the people of Perkinsville to be cheering for a newly formed gay couple. But the two had proven their honor and worth, not to mention the people seeing the poor background of their star fight, Ryuji. They knew that a gay pokémon like Ryuji was much better than a heterosexual cheater and child abuser like Samanosuke. And some even chanted for the two of them to kiss.

The chants for the two to kiss began to grow louder, and the people wanted them to do the deed in front of them. Feeling they had no choice, Lionel and Ryuji bent forward and pecked each other on the lips, just giving each other a good smooch before backing away from each other. The crowd cheered as they saw them connect, and in hindsight, the two were glad to have done so. They held each other's hands as they made their way to the bookstore. There was a lot of work ahead of them if they wanted to live a peaceful life together. Not everyone in Perkinsville would be happy to see a gay couple like them.

But in the end, the haters didn't matter. Ryuji and Lionel had each other. And so their days looked bright ahead...

Ryuji and Lionel had been waiting for this moment ever since the two had become an official couple. They even became celebrities in their rights in Perkinsville, being a gay couple whom mostly everyone supported. People still enjoyed seeing Ryuji kick the crap out of people in the arena, with his latest battle being a runner-up for when he'd face the champion of the WFG. It would be one helluva battle that would culminate in one of power and glory.

As for Samanosuke, though, his glory had deteriorated rapidly. People viewed him as a cheater and a horrible father. And to make things more difficult, he was now under investigation by the WFG for fixing battles and for bribing other teams. He was in a lot of trouble, and people were happy to see him on the decline. But in the end, he accepted his fate and would even come to publicly admit that Ryuji was a good son and an excellent fighter - and that he'd be more than happy to see his son become the next champion. Yet for more reasons than one, he didn't want to see Ryuji; not out of dishonor, but out of shame for how he treated him. He acknowledged that his son was now a fully capable adult and that he no longer needed a disgraced father like him.

This night, however, the two water types decided to take their relationship to the next level. The two of them were in bed, making out as the two connected their lips together. Their tongues were dancing around each other's as they became gripped by their passion. Their tongues even began to wrap around each other, the dexterous appendages able to move and act on their own as they formed a spiral around each other, sharing saliva and fluid while they were at it. It was a tender moment of passion that the two gay lovers wanted to keep sharing, and they both wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

Unbinding their tongues, Ryuji looked at his new boyfriend, saying:

"I feel so happy to be with you," admitted Ryuji to his male lover. "I can't think of life without you. You stood up to my dad, and you gave me the strength to fight back."

"You're welcome, mate," replied Lionel. "I'd be more than happy to give bloody hell to anyone who tries to hurt you."

Both of their cocks were now fully erect, the two male water lovers fully aroused as they wanted to show each other a good time. With them still on the bed, Ryuji climbed off of Lionel and turned his body around, placing his lover's phallus to his face while Ryuji put his own to him. The smell of semen was strong between the two of them, and without wasting a moment the two began to suck on each other as much as they could, tasting each other's oozing fluids while getting each other off in this 69 position. They both used their long tongues to wrap around each other's members and stroke their lover's cock for all that they could, squeezing even more of their oozing fluids from out of their lover's body.

This combined passion continued as the two kept stroking each other for all they were worth, even suckling each other as their tongue stroked its phallus and squeezed even more fluid out of their partners' bodies. The taste of their semen caused a rush of orgasm pleasure to them both, the two thoroughly enjoying the taste and having the desire of wanting even more. It was such a tender moment, the two having each other's throbbing and erect cocks inside of each other's mouths. But it was something that the two of them wanted. They wanted to please each other with everything that their partner had done to them.

Soon, the familiar feeling of orgasm was upon them. They both wanted this feeling so badly; to release their loads deep into the other partner's body. To consume the precious genetic fluid that they had in each other. And when the moment came the two were filled with a bliss they hadn't felt in a long while.

Ryuji and Lionel came into each other's mouths, their cocks throbbing hard as a torrent of seed gushed into each other. The taste of their semen was phenomenal, and the fluid was like a gel that felt wonderful to their taste buds. It carried a huge significance to each other, all while their minds were filled with an ecstasy that shot them to the night sky outside of their apartment. Their passion was something they couldn't ignore, and they both wanted the feeling to last while they stood still and took in the moment. There was nothing quite like this feeling.

Soon, Ryuji unwrapped his lover's cock and adjusted himself upright, so that he and his partner were now facing each other. But the fun was far from over.

"Had a good drink of my cum, love?" asked Lionel with affection.

"I loved your cum," admitted Ryuji. "I just hoped that you loved mine."

"It was phenomenal. But what would you like to do next, lover?"

Ryuji smiled. "I think I know what to do."

Ryuji sat upright and lowered his pelvis down to his lover's cock. He knew what he wanted to do next. He aligned his rear hole with his lover's erect phallus, and he prepared himself to give his ass a good rub and his lover the time of his life.

"I hope you're ready for this, hun," warned Ryuji.

"I'm more than ready, my love" was Lionel's reply.

With this, Ryuji lowered himself down onto his lover's cock, his ass hole being penetrated by his lover's raging member. He was thankful that the blowjob he gave managed to lubricate his lover's cock so that it would be a smoother penetration, but besides that he hoped that his ass proved to be quite tight on the Inteleon, squeezing him for all he was worth.

Ryuji continued to lower himself until he had penetrated himself with the phallus for as deep as he could go. With him learning forward to have full access to his lover's mouth, He extended his long tongue forwards and penetrated his lover's mouth. With that, he began to hop up and down, riding his lover in the cowgirl position and rubbing the phallus even more with his tight hole. He rode Lionel with a passion, hoping that his gay lover would have the time of his life.

For his part, Lionel gripped Ryuji's ass and grabbed hold of the cheeks to pull him down even harder. All the while, he licked his lover's tongue and had his dance with it, the two tongues wrapping around each other in the heated moment of passion. Their breaths were hot and panting, and the more that Ryuji rode his partner, and the harder Lionel squeezed his partner's ass, the closer the two were getting to achieving their final goal. The rubbing of their organs and the sheer ecstasy they shared combined to form something truly beautiful and joyful to see.

It was love at its truest, something that nobody could deny.

But eventually, all things had to come to an end. Lionel was reaching the point at which his stamina was close to being depleted, he would not be able to hold out much longer. And the rubbing of his sphincter made Ryuji rather close to cumming as well. But there was no stopping them at this point. They both wanted to reach the end... together.

Ryuji slammed himself down hard onto Lionel's cock for the final time, with Ryuji bending over to reach Lionel's lips as they shared one final impassioned kiss. Their lips connected at the moment that Lionel shot his load deep into Ryuji's body, and the orgasm that the Greninja had was so strong that he shot his remaining cum out of his cock, bathing their bodies with gobs of semen.

The two of them remained still in this moment, the two just wanted to take in the feeling that they were experiencing. They opened their eyes and saw each other's faces. The sheer joy they felt for each other brought a tear to their eyes. For the first time in their lives, the two had experienced a moment where they genuinely felt they could be happy. They both had rough lives that had led to this point - as well as families who could not accept who they were deep down.

But nothing mattered anymore. They now had each other, and a swath of pokémon in this conservative city that now saw that gay pokémon were still good-willed pokémon.

Ryuji and Lionel let their tongues go and pulled away from each other as Ryuji lay himself down on Lionel's body. The two couldn't ask for a better happiness than this.

"Well... I guess I found the right person for me," admitted Ryuji.

"Same with me, Mate," replied Lionel. "I love you to bits, Froggy," he said while looking at the Ninja Frog pokémon with cheer.

"I love you too, My Lizard," replied Ryuji.

And with that, the two lay down on the bed, their bodies and innards covered with cum, and took a rest. They would spend their whole lives together planning out their future And whatever joys would come their way was something that the two of them wanted to share.

There was a nearby calendar marking the days of the month and the months of the year. And today was the month of June. This couldn't have been a better month to find love. This couldn't have been a better time to find love again...
