That's a bummer. How do you rise above it?

Break out the gift.

Noon rolls around and finds you sitting at an outside table as you and your Pokemon are enjoying a good lunch, though your attention is more focused on the promotional videos on the Pewter Gym site. The ones about the leader's Geodude wasn't anything special, but that Onix was impressive. Way faster than what you thought possible. Also, the fuck is a guy named 'Brock' running a rock themed gym. It was like somebody couldn't be the least bit creative. What was next, a Rock Gym that gave a 'Coal' Badge? That was stupid.

You exit the gym's page and, after fiddling with trying to find it, bring up the Technique Mechanics menu. Your team already had a major disadvantage, and with all the Beedrills in the forest, it wasn't like you would be able to expand your roster very well. That left developing some moves that could deal some real damage.

Your meals finished and Pidgey sitting calmly on your shoulder, you and Charmy began walking to the training fields outside the city. It's only when you are about halfway there do you realize just why Blue came up with that Bubble trick. It wasn't for Charmy, but that Onix. That smug son-of-a-bitch.

Thankfully, the training field you chose was located a good distance away from Viridian Forest and was unoccupied. You looked over the field, trying to locate the training aides that you need before spotting them thankfully reasonably close together. As you approach it you begin to explain to your listeners. "Alright. We made to Pewter City, and we can have our first Gym battle here. But there's good news and bad news. Bad news is it's a Rock type." At this, you feel Pidgey shudder and hear Charmy groan. "Yeah, I know. Good news is I have an idea on how to beat it. I'm going to help you two learn a new attack. Pidgey, you are going to learn Mud-Slap." You reach the mud pit, and hold up your Poke'dex to begin playing the aerial tutorial video to Mud-Slap so Pidgey can see. "It appears that you need to send a burst of air at a specific angle to properly hit something. See that target over there?" You say pointing to the crude human-shaped wooden cutout. Pidgey nods in response. "I want you try to hit it without getting any mud anywhere else, ok?"

Pidgey lets out a cry, before taking off to begin practicing the technique. You turn your focus towards Charmy, who looks eager to learn something to beat those dreaded Rock types. "Unfortunately, there is only the one mud pit and," you glance over and quickly step to the side about three steps to avoid getting hit by some flying mud. You continue regardless "it looks like Pidgey is going to be messy. So we'll work on Mud-Slap sometime later. I have something better for you anyways." You pause to give Charmy an evil grin. "Have you ever heard of Metal Claw?"

Charmy gives a similar grin, as you kneel down and press play on the tutorial. You explain the theory behind the move, before letting him begin working on the nearby boulder. You smile at his enthusiasm, before walking over to the hose and begin spraying water into the mud pit. Pidgey is going to need a lot of mud, after all.

That evening, after near constant training with a break for dinner, sees you rushing to the Pokemon Center carrying Charmy protectively in your arms. He had been having trouble all day with the move, and in a moment of anger, slashed the boulder without focusing. The end result was a broken wrist, and his cries of pain were drawling the attention of all you passed. It didn't matter. You were so worried about Charmy.

Luckily, the Nurse Joy relaxed when you explained about the Metal Claw training, and even told you that it was a common thing here, so there wasn't a visit from Officer Jenny over the incident. Unfortunately, he'd have to stay in recovery for the night. That night it was uncomfortable sleeping alone in a shirt and panties. Weird.

The next day, Charmy was good as new, and seemed eager to get back into training. It was understandably shocking to him when you led him to a different part of the training field. "I know you want to beat up that boulder some more, but not today. Pidgey won't really have any trouble, but Brock's Onix is scary fast. So today, we're going to work on avoiding Onix's Tackle. Thankfully, Pidgey learned Quick Attack, so that is going to be a huge boon here." You say as you release the rested bird. She appears and quickly lands on your shoulder to hear you. "Charmy, you are going to stand in the middle of the open part. Pidgey with fly around and randomly fly at you. You are going to try to dodge in time." Slightly fearful, Charmy does as you say. You instruct Pidgey on just how you want her to help him out.

Once again, the three of you spend the whole day training. Pidgey would at first fly at Charmy before veering off, while slowly getting closer and closer until she wouldn't veer at all. And that was before she started adding her full speed and then Quick Attack. Needless to say, you burned through your Potions before the day ended. But it worked wonders.

That night, You and Charmy enjoy your room's bed together. He seems eager and you neglect to wear your shirt tonight, but you dash his hope for tonight. "I know you want to fuck me, and I want to as well. But I also want you ready for tomorrow. We're going up against Brock." Charmy looked at you with a peculiar expression at that. You laugh at it. "The hell we aren't going to at least cuddle. Come on." You grab him and pull him close, which prompts him to burrow into you. As you fade into the realm of dreams, you can feel a breast being suckled and realize that this night was comfortable to you. Could Charmy be thzzzzzzz...

Party
