Lisa is getting scammed
It couldn't more obviously be a scam. You mean, seriously? Three barely clothed, hot anthro pokemon just happen to be selling "super-rare" pokeballs for cheap? The worst part is that Lisa seems to be falling for it

Does that mean she's bisexual? That should make things easier. More importantly, you need to figure out how to intervene. You could just scare them away, but they are way too beautiful to let an opportunity like this go to waste. If you play your cards right, you could get them to agree to some pretty juicy bets
Just as Lisa is about to agree to the deal you make your entrance "Hey babe, what's happening here?"
"Those charming ladies were just showing me some really good deals they have. This pokeball is stronger than a master ball, makes the pokemon level up in their sleep and it's half the price of a regular one!"
"I don't know, seems too good to be true. Got anything to back that up?" You turn to the trio. The scammers don't miss a beat responding "Aren't we proof enough? Feel free to test us in any way you want..." and they strike very suggestive poses
It's a very nice view, but you put on an unimpressed face "What about a pokemon battle? Defeat me and we buy your stock". Lisa seems confused, but you give her a wink and she nods in agreement, understanding you have a plan
That takes them by surprise. "Just a moment, we gotta think about this". The tree of them turn their backs to you and start talking among themselves. The arigato is the first to talk "What do we do? No way we can defeat a Koraidon", "Pff" responds the fuecoco "A clueless trainer like that could never capture a Koraidon, that's probably just a ditto whore bluffing cause we stole his date", the quaxly agrees "Yea, besides, it's three on one. This is gonna be easy. Plus he doesn't look half bad..."
"We're in". You have to suppress a smile as you and the sprigatto get into position "You want a countdown before we start?" you ask
"No nee..." she's not even finished with her sentence and you already sucker punched her in the groin, right in the uterus (the female equivalent of a kick in the balls). She bends forward in pain as you ask sarcastically "Alright, who's next?". The fuecoco immediately steps up "You son of a bitch that's cheating"
"It's not, she agreed no countdown, but I see why you'd be mad. So, to be fair, how about this: I'm gonna turn my back, and you can attack me once, all right?" And you proceed to do as you say, exposing your back to her. There's a moment of hesitation before you hear her predictably start to charge the Ember move, at which point you swipe her feet with your tail
Before she can get on her feet you're already sitting on her torso, pinning her down in a massively advantageous position. You raise a closed fist and mockingly as "Can we skip the part where I beat you senseless or are you not giving up?". Furious, she concedes and you prepare to face off against the last one, the Quaxly
At the start, you simply stand still and let her hit you with a fully charged Water Gun move, which simply bounces off harmlessly on your muscled, water-resistant chest. "I'm gonna aim for your stomach. You should guard" you warn your opponent, raise a fist and wait until she's ready
Once both her arms are in front of her in a defensive stance, you punch. You didn't use any pokemon powers or moves, just raw strength, yet it was so fast everyone else present lost sight of it. You hit the Quaxly straight in her guard, yet she's still sent flying away and almost passed you, the impact taking away her breath. The message is loud and clear: They never had any chance
After composing themselves, the trio admits their guilt and apologizes "We're sorry, it really was a scam, these are just old pokeballs we painted silver" but as they try to leave you grab them by the shoulders and pull them close "Aren't you forgetting something? We just had a pokemon battle, and you lost. Now would you rather do this here or in a hotel?". You can't help but lick your lips in anticipation as you see the looks on their faces. This is gonna be so good
