Wartortle

You won? YOU WON! Wartortle stands victorious over Ivysaur. You’ve spent years seeing Blue as your superior, but now you’ve beaten him. Anything is possible. Your confidence persists even through Blue’s scowl as he recalls his partner. “You’ll regret this.” You’re certain Blue will seek **** but you can’t see yourself regretting this. You’ve taken something important away from Blue. You remember the countless times of Blue mentioning what he’d do to Misty, and now none of those will come true.

Blue storms away to the pokecenter. You pat Wartortle on his head before recalling him. You return to the pokecenter. “Well if it isn’t my favorite customers!” the fish merchant calls out as you and Blue enter the lobby. “You come back to buy more?” you look over seeing the merchant set up in the corner, nobody showing any interest in his game of chance.

“Nope, I’m never doing that again,” you say with pride. The rest of the lobby groans in disappointment. Blue shoulder checks you as he makes his way from the pokecenter.

“That’s a shame,” Nurse Joy remarks as you approach the counter. “It was a great show, and an even better seat.” You blush at the nurse’s brashness.

“Um, thanks,” you say, taking back your newly healed pokemon.

Nurse Joy leans over the counter, “Any time,” she whispers in your ear before taking your earlobe into her mouth. You whimper before she pulls away.

You double check your bag, making sure you have everything you need to make it through Mt. Moon. You triple check your sleeping equipment knowing that you’ll have to camp inside the cave. You curse the computer for unpacking your bag. You grab a new outfit and go change in the bathroom.

You catch a glimpse of the tattoo in the mirror. Forever marked by Blue. You slip into the new outfit. A skirt over your leggings, and a tight athletic shirt that hugs to your body. You check the mirror, the sleeve covering all but the bottom of the word “Gobbler.” When you exit the bathroom the lobby is a ghost town. Was everybody only there to see if you were going to repeat yesterday’s proposition? You feel a mix of disgusted and flattered.

You wave to Nurse Joy, who blows you a kiss in return. The fish merchant sits next to his machine browsing his phone, waiting for a new customer to enter the pokecenter. A couple trainers sit in the corner eating and talking.

“I’m heading into Mt. Moon. I’ll call you when I reach Cerulean. Love you.” you send your mom a text before making your way into the entrance of the mountain. What does the mountain have in store for you? Will you catch up to Jack? Will you be **** back out of the mountain?
