Out of the frying pan...

Once we entered the modest home, I placed my pack down at the entrance and took of my shoes. The small house was the perfect home for a single gentleman in the woods, and the quaint rustic feel was nice to experience after so many hours in the wild. Walking past me, Mr. Pokémon rested on a nearby chair and gestured for me to sit down across from him.

"Come on, regale me with your tales!" he said, smiling. I joined him at the table, where we talked a short bit about my dream of being the very best and my paranoid mother. We brushed over some of the encounters on my journey so far, and he listened intently the whole time.

"Y'know, I bet I have something for you." he suddenly said, rising from his seat. The elderly man moved to a nearby desk and shuffled through it loudly. "This helped me out immensely when I was a much younger man."

Pulling out a map of sorts, the elderly man waved it around and placed it on the table unfolded. The map was wonderfully made, and listed out the towns along the way. It would help me immensely if I ever got lost, and the fact that it located all of the local towns was perfect for a Pokémon master like myself.

"This would be so helpful!" I said with joy, going to grab the map. Before I could fold it up however, the older gentleman slammed his hand down on the center of the map, preventing it from moving.

"You don't get to have it for free, young lady." he chided, raising an eyebrow. "This map is very valuable. I require payment if you intend on taking it."

I nodded, understanding. What could I give him? I had money but definitely not a lot. If I wanted the map, I would need to do something pretty big for it. "What do you want for it?"

The man chuckled, his eyes slowly lowering to my chest. "It's been so long since I have seen a beautiful lady like you. It's been even longer since I have touched one."

The atmosphere in the house had changed, and the leering eyes of the old man on my body was starting to create heat in me.

"If you service me with those lovely tits, I'll provide the map to you. I assume you don't have the money to buy it outright." He was right, and his raised eyebrow told Lyra everything about his intent with her.
