No, at least until something is bothering Ace

"I don't have to." You agreed with her. "But the thing is? I want to. And I can." You grabbed her wrists and **** them up, so that the shirt she was still holding was pulled over her breasts. Her plain black bra came into view.

May whined, and then started crying openly. "P-please... You... you don't... This isn't..."

"I don't care what you think, I own you now." You grabbed her bra and tore it off her, the clasp breaking at the back. It didn't matter, she wouldn't be needing underwear anymore.

You heard a rustle behind you, and quickly looked around. Your sudden fear faded as you saw it was just Ace. He was watching you with some visible concern. "Something wrong, Ace?"

He gave a slow nod. "Tree..." He gestured to you, then to May under you. May gave a hopeful look towards him, but instead of reacting to that, he scampered up to you and pointed at his pokeball.

"Are you saying you want to go back in... Oh." You suddenly realized what he meant. "Are you worried that I don't care about you and just see you as property?"

Ace nodded, crouching down and making himself look smaller.

"That's... Okay, I completely get why you would think that. But I promise that I do care about you." You glanced down at May, then sighed and grabbed her pokeball again before recalling her. This needed your full attention and your boner had mostly gone away anyways. You shifted around and sat facing Ace. "May is... Its different. I caught May because I wanted to make her my sex ****. I picked you as my started because I wanted you to be my partner on my pokemon journey."

You took a moment to assess Ace's reaction. He was looking thoughtful, but not reassured yet. "How do I explain... May isn't property to me just because I caught her in a pokeball. She's property to me because I don't respect her. I do respect, and care about, you. Is this making any sense?"

Author's Note: Well, this isn't where I intended this chapter to go when I started writing it. I honestly intended to do a proper sex scene, but then I wrote the protagonist's line about "I own you" and I immediately knew the starter wasn't going to take that well. Then explaining why there's a difference ended up in a place that I at least found pretty unsettling (mostly because there shouldn't be a difference). But I decided to keep it, and I'll just write another chapter as an alternative to this one where the protagonist acts a little differently and avoids this mess.
