Early dawn the next morning.
Steam filled the bathroom.
Delia stood in front of the sink, hands braced on the counter, leaning forward until her face nearly touched the mirror.
She tilted her head left and right, carefully inspecting her reflection.
Her skin looked impossibly fair and luminous, cheeks glowing with a soft, natural rose flush. Her eyes sparkled with a moist, sultry sheen—no trace of fatigue, only a fresh, dewy radiance that made her look years younger.
"Does it… really have a beautifying effect?"
Delia murmured, fingertips gently stroking her cheek. The skin felt silkier than usual, almost glowing under the soft bathroom light.
"It seems… my complexion really is more radiant."
She had to admit it—waking up this morning, her whole body felt refreshed, skin finer, lips plumper, and even her curves seemed… fuller, softer, more inviting.
"Could it really be…"
A shy, secret smile tugged at her lips as she remembered last night—the heat, the intensity, the way Yuuto had filled her so completely. Her thighs pressed together unconsciously at the memory, a faint throb pulsing between them.
She shook her head quickly, cheeks burning, and grabbed her toothbrush to distract herself.
Mint flooded her mouth as she brushed.
She started humming a little tune, hips swaying slightly, clearly in an excellent mood.
The bathroom door suddenly opened.
Yuuto stepped in wearing only loose pajama pants, bare-chested, muscles flexing smoothly as he moved.
"Morning."
He greeted her casually, like they'd been married for years, and walked straight to her side to grab his own toothbrush.
"Egu~"
Delia teased around a mouthful of foam, eyes sparkling mischievously.
"You just walked in so naturally! Weren't you afraid I'd be naked?"
As she spoke, she deliberately arched her back and puffed out her chest.
Her thin pajama top was already loose from sleep. The motion made the fabric stretch tight across her full, heavy breasts, nipples faintly visible through the material as they hardened under his gaze.
Yuuto glanced over, eyes darkening with heat.
"Wouldn't being naked be even better?"
He answered around his toothbrush, voice low and teasing.
Then he stepped behind her, strong arms wrapping around her waist from behind. His bare chest pressed hot against her back, chin resting gently on her shoulder as he looked at their reflection together.
"What are you doing~"
Delia chided playfully, but her body melted back against him instantly, soft ass pressing firmly into his groin. She could feel him already starting to harden against her.
"I'm brushing my teeth. Don't mess around."
"I'm not messing around."
Yuuto's voice dropped lower. One hand slid down her flat stomach, fingers splaying possessively over her lower belly while the other hand drifted upward, cupping the heavy underside of one breast through the thin fabric.
"I just think you look especially beautiful today."
His thumb brushed slowly over her nipple, making it pebble instantly.
Delia let out a soft, breathy moan around her toothbrush.
"Smooth talker…"
She scolded, but her eyes were already hazy with want, hips shifting back to grind subtly against the growing hardness pressing into her.
"You~ you bad guy…"
She wiggled against him teasingly, ass cheeks rubbing along his length.
"This is a Pokémon Center. Be careful."
"Now you remember we're in a Pokémon Center?"
Yuuto leaned down, lips brushing the sensitive shell of her ear.
"Who was it that snuck into my room last night, climbed on top of me, and begged me to—"
"Aiya~!"
Delia's face exploded crimson. She spun around so fast her breasts bounced heavily, stood on tiptoe, and crushed her mint-foam-covered lips against his to shut him up.
The kiss was messy, toothpaste-smeared, and instantly hungry.
"Mmph…"
Yuuto groaned into her mouth, hands immediately sliding down to grip her plump ass through the thin pajama shorts, squeezing the soft flesh hard.
Delia whimpered, tongue shyly meeting his as foam smeared between them.
A few seconds later she pulled back, panting, cheeks flaming, eyes glassy.
"That'll teach you to talk nonsense…"
"Yikes~"
Yuuto deliberately licked his lips, making an exaggerated face.
"You kissed me with a mouth full of foam. Don't you think it's gross?"
"Huh?"
Delia's eyes narrowed dangerously. She puffed out her cheeks, looking adorably indignant.
"What? What did you say?"
She poked his firm chest accusingly.
"Last night I didn't even mind what was *on my face*, and now you're calling *me* gross?"
She slapped his hand where it still cupped her ass.
"How can that be the same? Last night was…"
"You're still talking!"
Delia was both mortified and aroused. She surged forward again, intending to silence him with another kiss.
This time Yuuto was ready.
He tilted his head to dodge, then leaned in and deliberately smeared the remaining foam from his lips across her cheek and down her neck.
"Aiya~ Yuuto! The foam!!"
Delia squealed, but the sound was half-laughter, half-moan.
Not to be outdone, she scooped foam from her own mouth and smeared it across his chest, giggling as her fingers trailed teasingly over his abs.
The two of them turned the bathroom into a playful warzone.
Foam smeared here, rubbed there.
Laughter and coquettish cries filled the steamy air.
Delia's pajamas grew damp, clinging transparently to her full breasts, the fabric molding perfectly to every curve and leaving nothing to the imagination.
Yuuto's pajama pants were soaked at the front, the outline of his thick, hardening cock clearly visible through the thin material.
Neither cared.
They played like a newlywed couple, hands roaming freely, bodies pressing closer with every teasing touch.
Until a soft knock sounded at the door.
Then came Nurse Joy's gentle but puzzled voice:
"Mr. Yuuto? Ms. Delia? Are you in the same room?"
The two froze instantly.
Delia stiffened in Yuuto's arms, eyes wide with panic.
Yuuto quickly made a "shh" gesture.
"I thought I heard some noises…"
Nurse Joy continued softly from outside.
"Did something happen?"
Delia's eyes darted desperately. She mouthed silently: *What do we do?*
Yuuto remained calm.
He cleared his throat and called back:
"It's nothing, Nurse Joy. I'm just washing up."
"Then Ms. Delia is also…"
Nurse Joy had clearly heard two sets of footsteps and muffled voices.
"Ah! It's… it's Yuuto sleeping in!"
Delia blurted, voice pitching high from nerves.
"We have to leave early today, and he… he wasn't up yet, so I came to wake him!"
She hurriedly wiped foam from her face and straightened her clinging pajamas, though the damp fabric still outlined her stiff nipples perfectly.
Yuuto watched her frantic state and had to bite back a laugh.
"I see."
Nurse Joy was quiet for two seconds.
Then her voice came back, soft and laced with knowing amusement:
"Alright then. But please be careful."
"Although the rooms are free, the Pokémon Center has rules. Some things… aren't allowed."
She paused, then added gently:
"Of course, since Mr. Yuuto acted so bravely last night, we'll be a little more lenient. But… please mind the impact."
The words were polite.
But the meaning was crystal clear: *I know exactly what you're doing. Don't go too far.*
"O-Okay! We'll be ready right away!"
Delia squeaked, face flaming.
They listened to Nurse Joy's footsteps fade down the hall.
Only then did Delia collapse against Yuuto's chest with a huge, relieved exhale.
"You scared me to death…"
"Look at how scared you are."
Yuuto chuckled, rubbing her hair affectionately.
"Nurse Joy won't eat you."
"It's still so embarrassing!"
Delia looked up and pouted at him reproachfully.
"Look at you—we almost got caught! If we get blacklisted from the Pokémon Center and can't stay here anymore, it'll be all your fault!"
"Hurry up and wash! Get ready so we can leave!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Yuuto agreed with a grin.
They quickly finished washing up.
Delia checked herself carefully in the mirror—making sure no foam remained, pajamas straightened, hair neat—before she felt safe.
"I'll go out first to help with cleaning."
She whispered to Yuuto.
"Nurse Joy must have been suspicious earlier. I need to behave extra well to cover for us…"
"Go ahead. I'll be out in a minute."
"Mhm."
Face still pink, Delia peeked into the hallway, saw it was empty, and slipped out.
Yuuto watched her go with a fond smile.
He dried his face, changed clothes, and stepped out of the bathroom.
The curtains had been drawn.
Morning sunlight poured in, warm and golden.
Yuuto picked up the Trainer treatment computer from the bedside table and opened the Trainer Forum.
99+ message notifications blinked at him.
"Oh? Something's up."
He raised an eyebrow and clicked in.
Straight to the Bounty Section.
The post he'd made last night had rocketed to the top of the trending list.
Title: [Mysterious Flying-type Legendary Pokémon spotted near Viridian City outskirts! High-definition photo for appraisal!]
The cropped image showed only a tantalizing corner of golden feathers and rainbow light.
The reply and bidding count had exploded.
"Holy crap! That luster! That texture! Definitely not edited!"
"Viridian City? I'm nearby! Coordinates please!"
"OP, name your price! I want this photo!"
"50,000! Sell to me!"
"50k for a Legendary trail? 80,000!"
"100,000! OP, DM me!"
Yuuto scrolled through the bids.
Most hovered in the tens of thousands.
But three stood out far above the rest.
ID [Lighthouse Watcher]: 120,000 league coins.
ID [Beauty by the Sea]: 135,000 league coins.
ID [The White-Coated Researcher of Pallet Town]: 150,000 league coins.
The three had clearly been bidding against each other, climbing higher each time.
"Lighthouse Watcher… isn't that Bill?"
"Beauty by the Sea… who could that be?"
"The White-Coated Researcher of Pallet Town…"
Yuuto looked at that last ID and smirked.
"Old man Oak, you really are loaded."
150,000 league coins.
For an ordinary Trainer, that was a fortune—enough to live comfortably for months, buy high-end Poké Balls, potions, and gear.
Yuuto didn't hesitate. He clicked to accept the bid from [The White-Coated Researcher of Pallet Town].
The very next second—
*Ding-dong.*
His phone chimed crisply.
[Your Trainer account has received: 150,000 league coins. Current balance: 150,850 league coins.]
Combined with the Good Citizen reward Jenny had promised, he was suddenly very comfortable financially.
Of course, for truly high-end Pokémon, items, or Mega Stones, 150k was still just a drop in the bucket.
But with the system handing out rewards for missions, money was only a temporary concern.
Yuuto closed the computer in a great mood.
He changed clothes and walked out.
In the hallway, Delia was helping Nurse Joy wipe down the handrails.
She worked diligently, a fine sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead and along the elegant line of her neck.
Nurse Joy was watering potted plants nearby, chatting softly with Delia. The atmosphere between them was warm and harmonious.
Clearly Delia's "good behavior" performance had worked perfectly—Nurse Joy hadn't mentioned the bathroom incident at all.
"Yuuto, you're up."
Delia's eyes lit up when she saw him.
But then she remembered the morning's events, cheeks turning pink again. She quickly lowered her head and focused extra hard on wiping the rail.
"Yeah. Thanks for your hard work."
Yuuto walked over and gently took the rag from her hand.
"Let me do it. Go rest for a bit."
"No need, I'm almost done."
Delia tried to take it back, but Yuuto held on.
Their fingers brushed.
Delia pulled her hand away like she'd been shocked, ears turning scarlet.
Nurse Joy watched the exchange from the side, lips curving into a knowing little smile. She tactfully picked up her watering can and walked away.
"Look at you, you're sweating."
Yuuto reached out and softly wiped the sweat from Delia's forehead with his thumb.
His touch was gentle, almost tender.
Delia froze.
She looked up into his focused gaze and felt her heart skip hard.
"I… I can do it myself…"
She murmured, taking the rag back and turning to continue wiping.
But the shy, happy smile on her lips was impossible to hide…
Half an hour later, Yuuto returned to the room to pack.
The three gathered in the main hall of the Pokémon Center.
Misty came sneaking over, clearly planning to jump-scare Yuuto.
But when she glimpsed the balance on his screen, the prank died instantly.
"One hundred and fifty thousand?! Yuuto, did you rob a bank? How do you suddenly have so much money?!"
She grabbed his arm and leaned in close, soft breasts pressing against his bicep through her crop top.
Yuuto could feel their warmth and gentle bounce.
"Sold a photo."
He answered casually while continuing to pack.
"A photo? What kind of photo sells for 150,000?!"
Misty stared in disbelief.
Then her eyes suddenly widened as realization hit.
"Wait… are you talking about that Shiny Fearow?!"
"Yeah."
Yuuto nodded.
Misty's mouth fell open.
She came from a Gym family, so money wasn't foreign to her. 150,000 wasn't life-changing.
But 150,000 for a single Pokémon photo?!
That shocked her speechless.
"No way… are rich people really that stupid? 150,000 for a Fearow picture?!"
She exclaimed dramatically, then her eyes lit up with sudden greed.
"Wait… if I take a few photos of my Staryu, could I also…"
She was already mentally counting zeros.
Having run away from home, she really didn't have much cash on her.
Though Delia kept saying not to worry, Misty still hated freeloading.
If she could earn her own money…
"You're dreaming."
Yuuto mercilessly crushed her fantasy, then casually explained it was actually a photo of the Legendary Ho-Oh.
Misty instantly deflated, shoulders slumping.
"Fine…"
But in the next second she perked right back up, throwing both arms around Yuuto's neck in a tight hug.
Her full, perky breasts squished warmly against his chest through the thin crop top.
"Hehehe, Yuuto~ you've struck it rich! Treat me to something delicious, pretty please?"
She hung off him like a koala, soft body pressed completely against his, thighs brushing his hips.
Yuuto could smell the faint strawberry shampoo in her hair and feel every curve of her pressed against him.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm… let me think…"
Misty tilted her head seriously, lips pursing cutely.
A few seconds later her eyes sparkled.
"I want a burger! A Double Beef Cheeseburger! And ice cream too—chocolate flavor!"
Yuuto blinked.
He'd half-expected this Gym princess to demand a fancy restaurant feast.
Instead she was asking for fast food and dessert like a normal girl.
"That's all?"
Misty nodded vigorously, eyes shining with anticipation.
"At home they always say it's junk food and won't let me eat much. But I love it so much!"
She shook his neck playfully, breasts bouncing softly against him with the motion.
"Pretty please~ Yuuto~ treat me~"
The lethal power of a tomboy acting spoiled was no joke.
Yuuto looked at her sparkling eyes and pouting lips, and smiled.
"Sure. My treat."
"Yay! Yuuto, you're the best!"
Misty cheered and hugged him even tighter.
Her entire body molded against his, soft breasts squishing warmly, hips pressing close.
Yuuto could feel every inch of her warmth and curves.
And Misty herself seemed completely oblivious to how intimate the position was.
She was still lost in the joy of "getting a burger," beaming radiantly.
At that exact moment, Delia—who had just finished helping clean—walked through the doorway and saw the scene.
Her large eyes blinked once.
Then twice.
She stood frozen in the entrance, expression shifting from surprise… to understanding… to a very clear spark of possessive crisis.
'Why is Misty… hanging off Yuuto like that?'
Delia watched the way Misty's breasts were pressed so tightly against him, the way her arms wrapped around his neck.
'Is Yuuto's charm really this strong?'
Delia bit her lower lip.
'No… this won't do.'
'If I stay shy, when more girls join later, Yuuto will be too busy to give me enough attention… I need to claim more while I can…'
Delia's gaze slowly turned determined.
Several very bold "intimacy plans" quickly formed in her mind…
She stepped forward quietly, hips swaying with new purpose.
