A quick battle with Crow.

The three of you make your way out of Viridian City and onto Route 1, just a short ways. Enough to be out of the way of people going about their evenings, but close enough that it’ll only be a short walk back once you finish up battling each other. You shut off the vibrator that’s been tormenting Bella on the way, wanting to let her arousal fade so that she can focus entirely on the matter at hand. No teasing her mid-match this time, this is too good of a training opportunity to waste. Crow may have started his journey at the same time as you, but his much more rapid rate of progression means that his Pokémon are far more powerful. They’re likely even more powerful than the ones the Viridian Gym Leader will be using, since gym leaders don’t use their most powerful Pokémon for challenges of any rank. Those are saved for personal use and tournaments. So the man from Celadon City will be an excellent measuring stick to help determine just how ready you and your girlfriend are for your eighth gym battles.

As you all arrive in a small clearing, Crow starts to speak. “So, like I said earlier, I’ve got somewhere to be tonight. So this battle will have to be short, since it’s already kinda late.” The pale man says, giving a small apologetic smile before continuing. “I’ll use two at once, you each use one. See how I do in a double battle against the power of love.”

Bella sighs and shakes her head, but can’t hide the smile on her face. “You’re such a dork, Crow.”

You laugh, and say “Sounds good man. Thanks again for the help.”

The red-eyed man grins crookedly and winks. “No worries. Oh, and for the record; if I win here, I’ll probably have to pull a Gabriel and keep my forfeit short and sweet, Bella. Really don’t have much time, not that there’s enough time in the world to properly enjoy a beauty like you.”

The brunette rolls her eyes at the man’s flirting, and you chuckle. You know that whatever it is that Crow’s doing later must be important, because he’s not kidding when he says he would take his time with Bella. He’s claimed forfeits from her before, which often just turned into threesomes with you and her, so it’s not like he’s shy about fucking your girlfriend. And he doesn’t have to be; she’s a trainer, so you’re used to it happening occasionally, and it’s honestly better when it’s someone you know and trust. Though it’s always annoying to have her denial undone, you just end up needing to start back over with it.

“And what a shame that is. Now, can we actually get started with the battle, or do you want to keep goofing around?” Bella asks dryly, narrowing her eyes at the black-haired man but still smiling.

“Well, now that you mention it…” Crow places a hand on his chin, pretending to think hard about the possibility of continuing to goof off, then shakes his head. “Nah, you’re right. Battle time. But first…” The pale man takes out the same silver coin he had held in the selfie with your waitress earlier. “Let’s see if luck is on my side tonight. Tails!” He calls, flipping the coin into the air and catching it, then slapping it down on the back of his right wrist. This is something that he always does before a battle, like a ritual. A devious smirk plays on his lips as he sees the result. “Tails it is. Lucky me. Now, you lovebirds ready?” The young man grabs two Pokéballs off his belt, holding one out in each hand and shifting his stance slightly, prepared for combat.

You and your voluptuous girlfriend each grab one of your own Pokéballs and nod, and the jovial atmosphere fades away. Practice or not, this is still a Pokémon battle, and an important bit of training at that. You’re all prepared to take this very seriously, to get the most out of this exercise and do your best to win.

“Tangrowth, Corviknight, come on out!” The Celadon man shouts, releasing his giant pile of vines with eyes and his massive steel-feathered bird from Galar.

“Tentacruel, go!” “Charizard, I choose you!” Your girlfriend releases her blue and black water and poison type, while you send out your orange winged lizard.

A few thoughts flash through your head in an instant. First; Crow’s Tangrowth, Bella’s Tentacruel, and your Charizard… All three of you have sent your starters out into battle. Second; both of your opponent’s Pokémon are weak to fire, and one is also weak to both flying and poison, giving you and your girlfriend a big advantage. Third; there is absolutely no way that Crow would have sent out two Pokémon weak to fire if he didn’t have some strategy in place to deal with fire types. He’s way too smart for that, so you should play this carefully.

A single second of swift analysis passes, and you’re the first to give a command. “Charizard, take to the sky!” Your partner launches himself into the air with his mighty dragon-like wings, his tail leaving a streak of flame behind him as he rises.

“Corviknight, get up there too!” The red-eyed man shouts, and his black bird also shoots up into the sky. “Tangrowth, Ingrain!” The grass type roots itself to the ground with a few of its vines, which begin to glow green as they draw energy from the earth.

Tentacruel, Sludge Bomb on Tangrowth!” Bella orders her starter, who hurls a stream of toxic goops the enemies way. The super-effective poison type attack lands, but the grass type immediately starts to regenerate thanks to its Ingrain.

“Tangrowth, Bind Tentacruel! Corviknight, Agility!” While you’re trying to think of your next best play, Crow barks out his next set of commands. His starter whips forward several long vines, which encircle the water type and start dragging it closer. Meanwhile, the steel and flying type shivers in place a bit, before relaxing and sharply raising its speed. That’s going to be an issue, you need to take that bird down!

“Charizard, close some distance and use Flamethrower!” Your fire type lunges forward, racing towards the foe and spewing forth a blast of yellow and white flames. At a call from its trainer, the raven Pokémon dodges to the side, the flames just barely managing to graze it. The super-effective attack still does good damage, even with a light blow, but it’s less than you would have liked,

“Two can play at this game! Use Wrap, Tentacruel!” The blue-eyed young woman cries, causing her water type to grip its foe in its tentacles. The two Pokémon now have each other constricted by their respective appendages and are squeezing down tight, but Tangrowth’s regenerating health is giving it a clear advantage. “Now, just keep using Sludge Bomb!” Bella’s starter obeys, and starts repeatedly pumping out poisonous sludge in the grass type’s face, slowly wearing it down even through the Ingrain.

This is a good opportunity. You two can focus down Tangrowth, then turn all your attention onto Corviknight. “Swoop down and Flamethrower!” You command. Your flying lizard goes into a dive, chest swelling as he gets close enough for his attack to connect.

Unfortunately, Crow is ready for you. “Use Ancient Power! And Corviknight, use Drill Peck!” Just as your starter closes enough distance to bathe his target in flames, the mass of vines manifests glowing boulders over its head, which it hurls at your fire and flying type. It’s too late to change trajectory, momentum is against you, and Flamethrower and Ancient Power both hit their marks. The intense heat withers the grass type away, combining with Tentacruel’s Sludge Bomb to devastating effect and knocking out Crow’s starter. At the same time, the 4x super-effective rock attack rams into your own starter, sending him careening backward in the air just as the steel type corkscrews into him from behind with its beak. The dual **** is too much to handle, and Charizard faints as well.

You and the pale man recall your **** partners, leaving Tentacruel and Corviknight facing off one on one. “Good luck, Bella!” You call out, frustrated that you’re out of the fight but at least glad that you didn’t leave her in a two on one scenario. Still, there’s a big issue; your girlfriend’s starter has almost no way to deal with a flying and steel type like Corviknight. Its only weaknesses are fire and electric, which her Tentacruel doesn’t cover, and its outright immune to poison, which really just leaves her with water moves. But with that Agility boost…

“Drill Peck again!” Crow orders, and his giant raven starts quickly spiraling towards the jellyfish Pokémon, beak first.

“Use Scald!” Bella commands, and her starter responds by shooting out a steaming beam of pressurized water up at the black bird. To no avail though, as the enemy simply twirls around the thin stream of heated liquid, coming down swiftly to connect with its target. Tentacruel takes the hit, staggering but not falling just yet. It tries to Scald again, but the steel type has soared back into the air at Crow’s behest, and is able to outmaneuver the attack with ease. The Corviknight comes back down for a second attack, starting to corkscrew again midair. “Hydro Pump!” Your lover cries in desperation, but even as the larger blast of water connects with the flying Pokémon and damages it, the enemy drills through the gush of liquid and lands the final blow. The second Drill Peck finishes the battle, causing the water and poison type to faint and making Crow the victor.

“Nice work buddy, come on back.” The black-haired man says, recalling his tired Corviknight. “Good job to you guys as well. You managed to knock out one of my Pokémon, even with luck on my side!” He smiles at you both genuinely, and walks over to the two of you,

“Not sure what luck had to do with it, that was just well-fought Crow.” You say, offering a hand to your friend, which he shakes. He’s not wrong about the two of you doing well; with an opponent as powerful as him, winning wasn’t necessarily the goal, gauging your strengths was. Even with a battle that short, you feel like you’ve gotten a better idea of where you stand. You and Bella’s oldest, most trusted partners were just able to stand up to Crow’s Pokémon quite well, despite how much more high-ranking of a trainer he is. This loss has been oddly confidence boosting, and you can’t help but feel like you’re closing in on being prepared for whoever the eighth gym leader is.

“Thank you for the match Crow. Now tell me, how do you feel about our current chances against the mysterious Viridian Gym Leader?” Bella asks before you can, mind working in tandem with yours. “You’ve already beaten them, so we’d like your opinion.”

“Hm…” The pale young man places his hand on his chin again, though he seems to be seriously thinking this time. “If the rest of your Pokémon are on par with those ones, and you play things smart, then you should be ready fairly soon, maybe even now. But with the nasty rumors about that place, it’d probably be best to be careful. If you’re not in a huge hurry, then a few more days training would serve you well.” He delivers his honest assessment, and it’s not dissimilar to your own.

You nod in agreement and reply. “That’s about where my head is right now too. We're not in a massive hurry, so waiting until next week and training a little more in the meanwhile seems like the plan. Still, I think we’re closer to being ready than I had expected. Again, thanks for this Crow, we really appreciate the help.”

“Very much so, yes. It always astounds me that someone so carefree can actually be quite reliable when he puts his mind to it.” Bella says teasingly,

The black-haired man narrows his eyes at the busty girl’s jesting. “Uh-huh… Well, I should be leaving pretty soon so that I’m not late to my other business, but first…” With two large steps, the young man closes the distance between himself and your girlfriend, placing a hand on her face and using his thumb to tilt her chin up. “Like I said earlier, short and sweet.”

Bella gulps as she stares up the 9 inch height difference between her and Crow. “Right. Just… Please don’t make me cum? You know, right?” Her sky-blue eyes flick between him and you, pleadingly.

The red-eyed man smiles reassuringly down at the brunette. “Don’t worry, I know. You only wanna cum with ‘Sir’s’ permission right?” He teases her, then glances up at you before letting his eyes fall down to your left coat pocket. His eyes shift back up to yours, and you share mischievous grins with each other. You and Bella aren’t the only ones who are on the same wavelength.

Crow lowers his face down to meet the blue-eyed young woman’s, bringing their lips together in a kiss. He starts to grope one of her large breasts through her white blouse with one hand, the other traveling down into her pink skirt to tease her clit. At the same time, you very suddenly turn the vibrator that’s inside of her pussy all the way up to level five, causing her to jolt in shock and groan into the Celadon man’s mouth. He takes this opportunity to slip his tongue into Bella’s mouth to dance with hers, and speeds up his rubbing on her sensitive nub. With how long and how frequently you’ve been edging and denying your girlfriend, she has become very easy to get back to the edge. In only a few minutes, the brunette is squirming underneath Crow, face flushed pink and heavy moans being muffled by the victor’s lips. She’s really close…

You shut the toy off completely, and your friend stops the instant he notices the vibrations die off, pulling away from your needy girlfriend. Bella whimpers, a big pout evident on her blushing face. “Not fair. You two are just not fair.” She says, huffing slightly.

With a chuckle, you walk up behind your denied lover and wrap your arms around her, laying your chin on top of her head. “Aww, are you telling me you didn’t have fun?”

“…Shut up.” She mumbles, then starts giggling beneath you.

“Adorable. You two are just adorable. Makes me jealous, really.” Crow smiles widely as he looks over you and your girlfriend, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

“Oh, don’t worry Crow. I’m sure you’ll find some lady silly enough to fall for your charms someday.” Bella quips, smirking at the black-haired man.

“Ah! An arrow, my heart!” The red-eyed man clutches at his chest dramatically, and you all share a laugh. Afterwards though, Crow sighs. “Dammit, I really wish I could hang out with you guys a bit more, but I really do need to run.”

“That’s fine, Crow. We don’t want you to be late, so get going. Thanks again for the help.” You say, offering your fist.

He bumps it with his own, then boops Bella on the nose. “You two have fun tonight, okay? Try to retain whatever’s left of your sanity Bella, don’t go crazy from edging or something.”

“I think I may have already at some point along the way, though I appreciate the thought.” Your girlfriend replies sarcastically.

“That explains some things! Okay byyyeee!” With that, the grinning young man spins on his heel and starts dashing back towards Viridian City, not giving Bella a chance to retort.

“Why that little… He always has to get the last word in, doesn’t he?” The blue-eyed girl grumbles.

“So he does… It was good to see him, and good to get a feel for just how strong we’ve become.” You say, casually bringing your hands up to fondle your lover’s bosom. “By the way… About making you go crazy from edging…”

She shivers in your arms, leaning her head back against your chest. “…Is it time to head back to our room for the night, Sir?” She asks quietly, voice thick with desire.

“Oh, it absolutely is. Come on, let’s get moving.” You release Bella from your embrace, instead grabbing one of her hands and pulling her along the road back to the city. This has been a productive evening, getting in some practice with Crow and learning that you’re probably strong enough to challenge the eighth gym right now. Still, there’s no pressing need to do so immediately, so you’ll take your time a while longer, and get some more training in first. As well as get some more fun in of course. The two of you spend a lovely night together like many others, with Bella being edged and denied repeatedly while pleasuring you as many times as you ask. You haven’t told her when she’s allowed to cum again just yet, but you’ve already decided. You’ll make her cum over and over the night before you both challenge the gym, so that she can focus properly on her battle. But of course, you’ll be spending at least a few more days training, so…

She’ll have to hold out a while longer.
