That weight. That fucking weight. But it would be so worth it in the end, he was sure…

No one would ever deny that Rogath was powerful. Not by a long shot, not the way he tore through the opposition, regardless of type weaknesses. Not the way he endured punishing blows that would have felled lesser Charizards with ease. Not the way he could keep going through lengthy battles, outlasting most of his opponents despite the licks they laid on him. Few Charizards possessed the power he had, and there was nothing better than putting it on display and getting victories, accolades, fawning fans, and all the other good stuff. Especially the Charizard whores. Few things beat sinking your cock into a nice tight hole attached to someone who’d decided that being a mewling slut was the way to go for a night. Human or Pokémon, male or female or something in between, Rogath took pretty much all comers and made sure they came quite hard.

It still didn’t beat his sessions with Sea, though. Stuffing bitches who were all over him was fantastic, but only his trainer let him ‘rape’ him.

To be sure, it wasn’t rape in the sense that most would call it. After all, there was never a doubt that Sea was an eager and enthusiastic victim - the lack of explicit consent didn’t mean he wasn’t angling for it. But the impression of it was more than enough for Rogath - beating the human in a fight, violently disrobing him, pinning him, fucking him without mercy, that was as good as it got. Would he have wanted to do that with someone truly unwilling? Rogath couldn’t honestly have denied it, but then again, Pokémon were different, if you did that in the wild no one would bat an eye, in most cases not even the victim, that was just how things went. But he knew it was different for humans, and he didn’t want to be THAT kind of trouble. With what Sea did with him, it was plenty easy to avoid temptation - he knew he had it when he wanted it.

Except lately, he hadn’t. And not for lack of trying.

Rogath’s power came from his special training routine, which used a power suppression rig. Wearing it, one could dial down his strength, his speed, his endurance, his flame, everything, to a lower level. This training forced him to work harder to get results, sometimes far harder, and as a consequence when he was unleashed, all that extra effort paid off in higher performances at his best. Sea had floated the idea to him when Rogath had complained that training didn’t seem hard enough, and Rogath hadn’t found it enjoyable at first, but the payoffs made him keep with it - payoffs including not just the improvements in every physical aspect, but being able to spar with Sea and take his ‘victory lap’ when he won.

The rig Rogath used had a certain number of levels. From 10% to 100% in 10% increments. He’d spent quite a bit of time at those lower levels…the drag on his body was pretty hefty at 10%, but he’d pushed through it for the payoffs. But a couple months ago, he’d heard about a hidden feature, inaccessible under normal circumstances but with a bit of a hack they could make it happen - there was an extra setting on the rig, that if one could get the dial that far, would take it down to 1%. Having access to just 1% of his power sounded like pretty extreme oppression, and word had it that they had blocked that setting because of how unpredictable the effects could be - but using a little tool to move a blocking prong, one could still access that level. Rogath had harangued Sea to let him do that, and Sea had eventually agreed, though warning Rogath that if there were adverse consequences, that was the risk he was running.

Ragath hadn’t been ready for what it felt like. 1% was a VERY different beast from 10%…every aspect of him was cut down so much that it was a chore to even do basic things. At the outset, he could barely keep himself in the air with his wings, his claws would barely cut tree bark, his flames struggled to burn a few sticks, and the first time he sparred with Sea, he was dropped in less than a minute. The bigger surprise was that he actually SHRANK - his power was so suppressed that it took his body down with it, so that while he normally towered over Sea, under the rig he was barely the same height as the human. Sea had been worried about him when he saw all this, and had suggested they dial it back a bit, but Rogath had insisted on keeping it that way, that he needed to power his way through it - and only when he finally beat Sea in a fight would they see the results of it.

And that had been the last two months and change of Rogath’s life. Unlike their other training sessions, he went full-time in the rig, forcing himself to endure and grow under the most oppressive conditions he could find. It was rough, oh for sure, it was frustrating, but it was something he NEEDED to conquer, and every frustration at every time Sea laid him out was more motivation for him to work harder and beat it. And he’d been getting better, there was no doubt about that…every day he got just a little bit stronger, overcame just a little more of that restriction. He was able to fly a little bit again, his flames were potent enough to at least burn the basics, his claws had a bit more fight to them, and he could deal a few blows now.

And today, he was going to beat Sea. That he was determined to do.

Sea saw Rogath approaching, and he grinned widely as he stood up. “I always know that look in your eyes…ready to get pasted again?”

“That’s not going to happen this time,” replied Rogath with a growl, glaring defiantly at the human - he still wasn’t totally used to looking level to meet Sea’s eyes, but he wouldn’t have to be after this. “Today’s the day, I can feel it.”

“Ooh, someone’s feeling bold today. You haven’t been this confident in as long as I can remember.” Sea cracked his knuckles a bit, tugging a bit at his shirt; it was thin and cheap, perfect for getting torn off of him. So were his shorts, under which he was wearing nothing. Much as he enjoyed having his clothes ripped off of him, he didn’t want to break the bank on them; having the cheap stuff was good for multiple reasons, not least of which being that it was pretty much an open invitation, telling Rogath he was open for that kind of naughty business. Rogath definitely liked seeing these on him, mainly because it meant an opportunity to get them OFF of him, in rather irreversible fashion…he knew more than enough to respect the other stuff, that was a well-established boundary and he wasn’t going to risk this fantastic arrangement by going over the few lines that were set.

“I’ve been feeling stronger than I ever have in this state. I just know this power is building up, and I’m going to show you just how much I’ve improved. You’re gonna love it…especially when you send me back up to my full power and then I can show you what I’ve REALLY gotten.”

“Well, buddy, you’re gonna have to prove it to me.” Sea raised his fists and squared off with the Charizard. “Try to see if you can handle what I throw at you!”

“Bring it!” Rogath let a lick of flame leave his mouth at the bold taunt, claws raised to fight. They circled each other a bit, each one daring the other to make the first move…as it usually was, Rogath bit first, the Fire-type impetuousness not letting him hold back long enough to outlast Sea’s patience. He came out with a slash, catching the shirt and putting a few splits in it, but he paid for it as Sea delivered an uppercut to the jaw that threw him back on his rear end. He shook his head and pushed himself upright; despite the hit, he was feeling more energized than ever. Not even despite, in fact, it WAS the hit that was encouraging - early on, Sea had gotten one of those on him and it had been a one-hit KO. Now he was getting through it with relative ease…that meant a lot.

“Might not want to take too many more of those, bud,” teased Sea as he waited for Rogath to get back up again. As always, it was fun to spar with the Charizard, and he’d really been enjoying being the one to get the better end of it - even at 10%, Rogath outclassed him by a fair bit, this was really the level that gave him a fighting chance. Some might have been a little concerned about him throwing punches at his Pokémon, but the general rule was, sparring wasn’t abuse - if the Pokémon and human were both agreeing to it, that was their prerogative, and a fairly large number of trainers and Pokémon sparred to some degree, particularly the good ones. Playful smacks and tussles were considered fine as well, Pokémon tended to not be bothered by that sort of physicality. The guideline given was one that was relatively memorable: “Hit not in caprice or fury, or you’ll be sorry in a hurry.” Striking a Pokémon out of anger, or hitting them for the sake of hitting them or because you felt like it, was absolutely not okay. If you weren’t over those lines, you were good. Sea had never crossed that line, and Rogath had made it clear he would let him know if he ever strayed close…yet, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of enjoyment at the fact that his blows were actually DOING something, rather than making Rogath slightly flinch at worst.

And, oddly enough, so was Rogath. There was something satisfying about feeling his trainer actually leave a mark, pushing him harder than he ever had before, standing on his level rather than well underneath it. Of course, Rogath very much WANTED to be overpowering in some respects, but he was surprised just how much he enjoyed an even match with Sea as well. Just more incentive to make 1% training a regular thing…it was good to vary levels, and he would want a break from it for a while just for how long he’d been there, but he’d definitely go back to it, and he imagined he’d never be able to truly outclass Sea when he was. And somehow, that thought had him grinning fiercely as he squared up again. “I’ll be taking plenty more of them, just not today.”

“Oh? Well, let’s see if I can make you eat those words!” Sea got bold, rushing forward to try to follow up his initial success. Rogath was ready for it, though, and blocked the next two swings, knocking Sea’s fists away and getting the human a little off-balance. He swung with his claws, making sure to channel just enough of a Slash attack into them to keep them from really hurting - moves blunted the actual damage to a body, converting the blows to a stamina-directed attack, and Sea had enough scars on his body from accidental swipes that he didn’t want to add to them. Fortunately, clothes weren’t protected the same way, but he needed to get in a bit more to actually do damage to those, as Sea managed to parry that clawing attack with his arms.

They stepped back and squared up again, Rogath’s tail swinging eagerly. He was already doing pretty well, any time he didn’t feel overwhelmed after the first blows was a good round for him. But this time he wanted more…he felt he had a chance to win here, and he wasn’t going to let that slip away. He focused hard, stoking his inner flames and letting his body loosen up as much as it could under that oppressive suppression. On his next move, he went for Sea, but baited the human with a feint to the right; Sea got overeager and swung where he thought Rogath would be, but the Charizard pulled back and went right, snatching the fabric of Sea’s shirt and ripping it away as he shoved past, catching the human with his wing as he did and making Sea stagger a bit. He swung around to face Sea as the human scrambled to recover and not let himself get overwhelmed; Rogath was grinning fiercely as he held the ruined shirt up, eyes glinting at the bare-chested human.

“…Not bad.” Sea hardly seemed disappointed, not that he had any reason to be - Rogath’s success only promised fun that they hadn’t had in a while. Still, he retook a fighting stance, wanting to make sure his buddy earned it. “But you’ve still got a ways to go before you’ve beaten me!”

“Closer than I’ve gotten yet,” growled Rogath as he threw the rags of the shirt aside and prepared to strike again, wings spreading wide in an intimidating display. He charged at Sea again, baiting the human into another swing which he blocked this time, then countering with his own slash which was deflected as well. Another punch from Sea was grabbed and met with Rogath’s hand, and the two pushed against each other to try to get the upper hand; Sea punched out with his left, catching Rogath in the snout on the first go but then getting that one grabbed on the second attempt. The two strained against each other, each trying to overpower the other and put them on their backs, sweat pouring off each one as the air got nice and steamy around their straining. The diminished Charizard’s toes dug into the dirt, trying to use his claws as extra leverage to keep himself from giving any ground…the way he was built gave him an advantage when he was forward, but it was a liability if he got tilted back, he’d learned that the hard way when Sea had managed to get him off-balance in previous attempts.

He held this time, though, his training having paid off and given him enough of that strength to endure Sea’s fierce efforts. Sea’s arms buckled just a bit, and while he tried to steady them, it was already too late, Rogath took the opening and ran with it, pushing hard and overwhelming the human, putting him on his back on the ground. Sea tried to push him off, but Rogath had his eyes on the prize, and before Sea could dislodge him, he grabbed the band of those cheap shorts and locked in, yanking hard. While Sea did managed to force Rogath away, it was at the cost of his last protection, the front of those shorts hanging limply in the Charizard’s claws while the backs were left behind on the grass. And Rogath was quite pleased to see that Sea was nice and erect, murring a bit as he discarding the waste of fabric and leering at his human. “Starting to sweat yet?”

Sea grinned back at him. “You still gotta pin me.” Rogath could swear that the ‘taunt’ sounded much more like encouragement to him…Sea probably wanted this as much as Rogath did at this point. His human had been nice and patient through all this, waiting for Rogath to make the gains he needed to win properly, and Rogath was intent on making sure it paid off today. All he needed to do was pin Sea, and that was it…a pin was definitely a taller order than a disrobing, but he knew he was good for it.

He went on the offensive again, trying to throw Sea off-balance with a series of swings that were intended to be blocked or dodged, with the intent of pushing Sea backwards. The human met each of them adeptly, not letting himself be boxed in easily, and then unexpectedly pitched forward, trying to bodily tackle Rogath with all the momentum he could muster. The Charizard wasn’t ready for it, and hit the ground under Sea, who immediately tried to go for a pin of any kind, anything to keep Rogath unable to push him off for just a few seconds…but Rogath wasn’t about to let himself get outdone when he was this close, and knocked one of Sea’s hands away as the human went for his wing, giving him just enough edge to throw Sea off - and then, while the human was out of sorts, he pounced, landing hard on Sea and using all the weight he could muster to keep the human down.

It wasn’t easy - Sea was squirmy, and Rogath didn’t have nearly the weight advantage he did at his proper size. But Sea was also more tired than he usually was during the bouts, Rogath had put him through his paces a lot more and hit him enough that he’d put a bit of fatigue into Sea, and his movements to get away were slower than usual. Rogath managed to get him pinned enough on the lower half, though, and then went for the last real risk, trying to grab the human’s wrists. Sea fought, trying to get his hands up to throw Rogath off, but when the Charizard’s left hand grabbed the human’s right wrist, it was nearly a foregone conclusion, and only a matter of seconds before Rogath’s right had Sea’s left. With both hands shoved onto the ground and Rogath semi-laying on Sea’s legs, the human went slack under him…and Rogath felt a thrill surge into him. He’d done it! He’d won!

He leered down a bit, grinning widely, making sure Sea made it official. “Do you yield?”

Sea panted a bit, making one last feeble attempt to escape, but even he didn’t believe it. “I yield…you win, bud.”

“Damn right, I do! So…why don’t you open your present?” Rogath freed Sea’s arms, knowing that there was no more need to hold them back - the victory had been earned, and it was time to get to the fun. And he knew Sea was just as excited for it, the human’s arousal heavy in the air…mixing with his own, as Rogath’s cock was pushing out as well, leaking its scalding precum onto Sea’s skin. The human’s hands groped for the dial on the suppression rig, grabbing it firmly…a jet of smoke rushed from Rogath’s nose as he felt Sea work the dial back to where it was supposed to be and turn it hard all the way, killing the suppression all the way, unleashing Rogath’s power to the fullest.

The surge hit like a sledgehammer - Rogath’s eyes shot open wide as it felt like an explosion from deep within him. The sudden intense flare of energy was far beyond anything he’d ever felt before, even from the previous minimum…it hit harder than any of Sea’s hits had, the heat building and redoubling within him…he didn’t even know what was happening, it felt like he was growing far larger, the power building far stronger than he’d ever known it, his vision going white as he lost himself in the overwhelming flare…

Sea could only gape as he watched it…Rogath glowing white, the heat flooding the area almost oppressive as the Charizard grew, and grew, back to his original size and beyond…his jaw dropped as he watched Rogath’s wings change shape, growing extensions in the membranes and longer spurs at the joints, his horns getting longer and sharper, spikes form at the shoulders, and brilliant blue flames jet from his jaws, as his body darkened to a deep black and blue. With a furious flourish, Rogath roared to the heavens, dispelling the light as he heralded his almighty transformation: a powerful, monstrous Mega Charizard X, at least a foot bigger than his original height and body rippling with unchecked power.

Sea didn’t have long to marvel, though, as those glittering eyes turned down on him with vicious intent. Sea could only gasp at the wild aggression, he was used to Rogath being rough but this was another level…one hand shot down, grabbing Sea by the neck, making him gack at the tight grip, not cutting off his air entirely but certainly restricting it, especially as he bore down on Sea and pushed the human’s head into the ground. Rogath’s other hand grabbed Sea’s leg and jerked it out of the way roughly, making the human gasp a bit - this was WAY rougher than Rogath usually got! And he couldn’t deny it, that was hot as hell…almost as hot as Rogath’s EVERYTHING, the burn wherever he touched made Sea’s eyes water.

But they weren’t clouded enough not to see what was coming for him. Sea’s breath caught in his throat as he spied Rogath’s new endowment. He couldn’t believe what he was looking at - a fearsome spire of jet-black flesh, with a pointed head that had fleshy spikes pointing backwards down the length at the corners; a shaft that was littered with glowing blue pits that he could see licks of flame jetting from here and there; and a bulge at the base that dwarfed the rest of that titanic girth. And it was titanic, for sure, the biggest cock Sea had ever seen, both in terms of length and width, and with all the other embellishments, it looked like a tool meant to break whoever took it, to destroy their feeble resistance and turn them into a whimpering, mewling, cock-addled slut.

And Sea was absolutely certain that was his imminent future.

Rogath didn’t go gentle…at this point, Rogath didn’t KNOW gentle. His mind was flaring with all of the lust, the rush of power overwhelming all senses. He knew just two things - he was going to fuck Sea, and he was going to fuck Sea with everything he had. He never questioned for a moment whether the human could handle his new frame, he didn’t have the ability to at the moment - his typical blazing impulsiveness was being redoubled by a new, intense rush of induction, the awesome power of draconic might fueling radically enhanced dominance impulses that made him absolutely certain the human below him needed to be broken into his unquestioned BITCH.

It was these thoughts that spurred him to plunge down into Sea’s tight ass, brutally breaking it open with his massive cock. Sea’s eyes rolled back in his head, a silent scream trying to break free from his throat as his hole, allowed to relax for months, was utterly unprepared for what it was being commanded to endure. The sheer length and girth alone was enough to be devastating, but it was the HEAT that truly smashed Sea’s mind, a furious blazing burn that was at least on order of magnitude hotter than anything he’d ever felt before, and that was before those volcanic vents gushed their steam and flames against his bowels. It was too much, far too much for any ordinary human, but there was nothing he could do but take it, he was completely helpless before the might of the dragon.

And Rogath knew it, and holy fuck did that excite him. He growled imperiously as he jerked out and slammed in hard, ruthlessly savaging the human beneath him with all the force he could muster - and with the immense power in his mega-evolved body, that was a LOT of force. Every time his cock sank in to that thick knot, he tensed and loosed a furious jet of heat from every pit on his cock, almost branding Sea with his torrential heat. Every jet of precum that pulsed into that ass only served to add to the heat sensitivity, to channel those flames over that flesh and ravage it raw, making Sea know nothing but heat. The fire was even carried on his musk, the spicy and smoky scent burning into the human’s nose, the imposing draconic signals storming the human’s brain and demanding fealty.

And Sea was crumbling rapidly. Whatever strength the human had was utterly and completely conquered by the infinitely superior dragon above him. All thoughts had been driven from him, he was barely keeping his sanity together as his ass was brutalized by that monster dong, every part of it designed for sheer conquest. He didn’t even realize when he came, the spunk jetting from his balls barely managing to make it a few seconds before drying and vaporizing in the sheer heat, the furious sensations of heat the only pleasure that was registering. And somehow, Sea was getting explosive pleasure from it…mingled with the overwhelming fury of that fiery blaze was an ecstasy which was unrivaled, as he was claimed and mastered by the Mega Charizard. His body had gone limp, no resources left to consciously move it, only a few twitches and spasms here and there in response to the ordeal it was being put through.

Seeing Sea cum was driving Rogath’s rush even higher, and he slammed in with fiercer force and wilder energy, smacking his knot against that hole with devastating intent. He didn’t question whether Sea could handle it, or should handle it - as far as he was concerned, it was Sea’s DUTY to take it, his human bitch had a responsibility to accept every inch of his cock at his command, without question or exception. And he went harder than ever on him, pummeling Sea and roasting his insides, bending him up to drive down harder, the absurd stretch making the human’s hole gape a bit when he pulled back far enough. As riled up as he was, Rogath could feel he was on the verge, faster than he wanted, but he knew he wasn’t going to be done with just one, he didn’t have to hold back…but he was determined to break his bitch fully before he rewarded him with his lava, showing to Sea exactly where he belonged and exactly where he would be…

One last oppressive thrust, and Rogath didn’t let up, surging his hips downward to batter his knot inside, forcing that hole to yawn open wide and pop him inside. As soon as he was in, Rogath roared to the heavens once again, a flare of glimmering blue flame jetting into the sky above as he unleashed his first Mega climax into Sea. And between the inhumane stretch and the incendiary spunk that flooded into him, as that cock glowed and blazed with draconic fire, Sea’s senses shattered, a violent flare of fire and pleasure obliterating his consciousness. His eyes rolled back, another climax hitting his body and being utterly unnoticed before everything went blank for him, in a complete and total surrender to his draconic master. Rogath barely noticed at first, too lost in the rapture of his best orgasm ever, pumping more and more lava into Sea and feeling that tension around his throbbing shaft, the gluts of flame bursting from those pits a scintillating pleasure in their own right. On and on it went, pouring cum into his bitch, filling him until he swelled, the heat so intense that the human’s stomach took on a blue glow that was visible even in the tame light of the evening.

Only when those jets of infernal seed trailed off did Rogath regain a bit of his senses…he panted hard, steam flooding the air around him as he looked down at Sea. The human was glassy-eyed, completely out of it, just panting and moaning insensibly as his gut protruded with the sheer amount of meat and glaze that was filling him. The Mega Charizard huffed a bit…he was clearly going to have to train his human to handle him. But for now, he relented on his grip, pulling Sea close to him and curling around him. He still felt like he wanted more, but he wanted Sea awake for that...the human would just have to make it up to him.

———

It was a few days after that momentous event. Rogath was leaning back against a tree, Sea leaning against him, the human as naked as before and looking plenty messy with tacky spunk on him. A real difference from the past couple months…the break from training was welcome, though, Rogath was glad to have some time off from it. Not that he wasn’t getting plenty of physical activity, though.

“How’re you feeling?” he growled down at the human, his large arm around Sea as the human rubbed his scales.

“…Same as…last time, yeah. I think…you really did it. You broke me, completely.”

“Hm. I’d say sorry, but I’m really not.”

“…Neither am I.” Sea squirmed against Rogath as the Charizard squeezed his arm around him. Touching Rogath like this was a challenge, the Charizard was so much hotter like this, but he wanted to get used to how it felt…he’d be feeling it a lot, after all.

It hadn’t been until a full day after the evolution that things had truly settled down…during that time, whenever Sea was awake, he was being ravaged by Rogath until he went out again. He’d gotten to lasting a bit longer over that time, but not much - the sheer overwhelming fucking was not something he could handle, not without a lot more practice if at all. Rogath had made sure he stayed physically sound, but that was about as much mercy as his freshly Mega-evolved mind could muster until the initial bout of lust wore off. And that had hardly been the last of it, it had just somewhat tamed itself after that…and while he didn’t go quite as roughly on Sea, it still proved too much for the human even to this point, though at least he wasn’t out as long now.

They were still adjusting to all the developments at this point. Unfettered, Rogath was one of the exceedingly rare examples of a permanently Mega Pokémon - very few Pokémon could get powerful enough to maintain that state indefinitely, much less without the use of a catalyst to get them there in the first place. All that training at the maximally restrained level had gotten him there, though, and now it was his new normal. It WAS possible to get him to revert, but only under the influence of the training rig, and even then, it had to be at least down to 50% before he retook his original state - and even that level of restraint was significantly more powerful than his 100% before that extreme training. It was safe to say that outside of going back to that 1% level, Rogath was never going to be even close to weak enough for Sea to even attempt to spar against.

Not that he was inclined to, at this point. The first experience had left quite the impact on Sea…he was well and truly broken by this point, incapable of seeing Rogath as anything other than his lord and master. Such an extreme experience, combined with the powerful influence of a Dragon-typing, pretty much ensured that there was no going back from that, his mind had wired it firmly into his brain as it knit itself back together after the breaking fucking he got. But Sea didn’t mind that at all, really…it felt gratifying accepting Rogath as his master, and he felt so comfortable there that he wondered if that wasn’t what he’d really wanted all along.

“We’re gonna have to get you some other sparring partners, then. Since you’re barely going to be able to do a thing to me unless I go all the way back down, and I’m not doing that all the time.”

“I mean…I wouldn’t mind being outclassed by you at any level, master.”

Rogath let out a slight snorting laugh. “Nor do I mind outclassing you, but I want you to have some more meaningful challenges too. I want my bitch to prove that he’s strong enough to be a dragon’s slave. And I wouldn’t mind seeing what happens when you can’t stand up to them, either…it’ll be funny seeing them try to compete with me.”

“They’ll never hold a candle to you, master Rogath.” Sea planted a kiss on the Charizard’s chest, thinking nothing of the burning sensation that lingered on his lips. “You’re going to be incredible when we go into battle again…you were already incredible before, but I don’t think anyone can stand up to you now.”

“Well, I hope there are plenty who put in a good effort, it won’t be any fun if I don’t have to work for it. Not like breaking in a bitch, some things should take some effort. But we’ll see what they’ve got when they come at me. And I know we’ll have a lot of ‘victory celebrations’ in the future…so let’s make sure you can at least keep up with me for one round.”

“Yes, sir.” Sea hugged Rogath, and the Charizard returned the gesture. It hadn’t quite been what they expected out of this, but neither of them was about to complain - the results wildly exceeded any of their expectations. And even though their roles had truly flipped now, they felt as right as could be for each of them. Perhaps when they were in the routine of fighting their challenge battles, they’d have to pretend it was like it always was…but out on their own, just the two of them, or whatever ‘guest’ they brought in to have fun with, the way they were now was as real as it got. And they wouldn’t trade it for anything.
