First Gym Is Close to Home

Sue was gone but once again one of the guests bought breakfast for everyone to thank Lily for cooking everyone’s dinner the night before. This time it was Cassandra that went alone and afterward Jessica watched amused as she flirted rather brazenly with her, Gerald, and Melinda. It seemed Melinda’s level 4 Almost As Good was having it’s impact on her and made Cassandra want to buy her affection as well. Sue’s crew of punk followers left before Cassandra even returned with the food in pursuit of their leader but they left Catherine there who was more than happy to stick around and let Darryl have sex with, and gain experience from, as many of the guests at the house as possible.

They ate breakfast together and after that he spent the morning having sex with Sarah, Michele, and Melinda. Jessica offered up all 3 of her woman-whores for fifty bucks but Catherine asked for a raincheck. She apparently already had an interview with a young man at a nearby coffee shop and after her rather sound defeat last night, she wanted to add another recruit to her team as quickly as possible. After hearing that Jessica said that if she ended up giving the new recruit a pokeball, both of them could have a round with all three whores for 80. Jessica said that if either Darryl or the new one were into guys, they could each have a round with Alex too.

After that offer the girl smiled and quickly grabbed 80 dollars out of her purse. “If I don’t get the new dude, Darryl gets two rounds with all four of them. Deal?”

Jessica smiled and took the money, thanking Catherine for the business before asking where she met him. It turned out the he was actually her boyfriend before giving him the ball and now they had just agreed to a more open relationship. They were both former military and in their freshman year, he being two years older having just gotten out of his four year service in the army with Catherine having served two years. They were in the same orientation meeting, spoke afterward, and got along fairly well. About a month ago Darryl asked Catherine out and she decided to give him a shot. They weren’t able to take back the transformation but Catherine promised that if things didn’t work out between them or they stopped being friends, she would release him and let him go about his life. Darryl heard that and thought that an open relationship in which they could both have some fun with others and gaining strength the more he fooled around sounded like a hell of a good time.

Jessica listened and did her best to look casual while her mind has was going a mile a minute as she analyzed the conversation. Darryl's attitude about being transformed into a humanized eevee seemed to be no more consequential than the decision to buy a new pair of shoes. She was already a bit upset with herself for tricking Ryan into grabbing the ball the other day, now she was regretful for intellectual reasons as well. It would have been interesting to see if he had been just as blase with the decision. Then again the Random Remote may have changed general attitudes on the matter worldwide last night so it was possible that thinking about it too much was just silly.

Catherine and Darryl left for their appointment so Jessica decided to get to know the other new girl a little bit. After breakfast her, Mabel, Michele, and Lily had all gathered in the garage, laid down the wrestling mat that Jessica had purchased for her little game with Andrea and Megan last week, and did some martial arts sparring and training. Since Lily and Michele were both ‘users’ for the girl, she saw them both as her trainers and wanted to train with the both of them. As Jessica watched Ryan, Sally, and Megan all entered the garage and asked if they could join in the lesson.

Megan thought that learning some of this stuff could help her with other competitions in the future, maybe she could even try some MMA if she liked the way things went. The pokepeople now had part of their lives dedicated to fighting so they thought some training here might be helpful as well. With all four of them taking on the roll of students Jessica asked if she could join in and soon all five were doing their best and taking turns to learn various tricks, traps, trips, throws, and tumbles. Since all five of them were all ‘training with Mabel,’ everyone involved including the trainers steadily became more and more aroused as the training progressed and towards the end of the hour that they had intially planned for the lesson, everyone involved was finding it difficult to keep their clothes on and legs closed. Except for Lily, Sally and Ryan of course, they were totally nude and their arousal was on full display for all to see.

Michele and Lily decided to end the training session a bit early. Everyone's arousal was becoming enough of a distraction that they began to worry about someone screwing up and getting hurt. Both trainers and all five students were somewhat sweaty and extremely horny so Michele suggested that they take off their clothes and 'relieve tension' but as they began to do that the garage door opened and Sarah escorted an older man with slight Asian features, short black hair, and a rather expensive looking black business suit into the garage. He walked with one hand behind his back and politely kissed Sarah's hand and thanked her before turning his attention to Lily while showing nothing other than mild bemusement at the nudity he saw and orgy he nearly walked in on.

As he greeted her the man bowed and kissed Lily's hand as well, coming across to those in the room as a little bit forward but still inviting, warm, and polite. When he spoke it was with an infectious confidence as he also gave everyone else in the room a polite nod. His eyes did linger slightly longer on Ryan and Sally. "My word. I was told that you were quite the fetching lady but I would never have imagined that such a beautiful lady could also possess such an impressive penis. If I may be so bold I can't help but mention that your wife is quite the lucky lady."

Lily smiled and shook the man's hand but shook her head. "You may not say that but only because I am the lucky one. What can I do for you?"

The man introduced himself as Ren and apparently the events that brought him here were the products of Catherine's advancement to level 3 last night. The list of people with pokeballs at this point was still rather small but 'would soon be growing quickly' according to Ren. The officials at the apparently now existing Pokemon League knew Lily had 3 balls and had heard rumors that she was skilled in martial arts. Because of that, his organization wanted to make Lily one of their first gym leaders. Specifically they wanted Lily to be in charge of a fighting-type gym.

Lily knew very little about the Pokemon game series so she wasn't really sure if she was a good person to run the gym and made that clear. Initially Lily planned to politely decline but Ren was a tremendous salesman and took an attitude that involved not accepting no as an answer. One of the aspects of gyms was having other trainers work with them and testing potential challenges before the main battle. They of course had pokepeople that were the same type as the gym promoted and Lily had several potential associates right here. The man was willing to offer Megan, Michele, and Mabel a few balls each to join Lily's gym.

Lily saw the faces of all 3 light up at this suggestion though each of them were interested for different reasons. Michele's awakening sex drive had found all the animalistic, furry sex friends to be some of the best partners so far. The idea of having a couple of her own to 'train' and lend out was very enticing. Not to mention giving her body to all the others or just pleasuring herself while watching others going at it. Megan found herself looking at Ryan's steadily improving body and began wondering how long it would take her to catch up to and beat Jessica as a trainer. Beating her boyfriend, Catherine, and so many others was of course appealing too. Before the Random Remote came along Mabel already was a nerd and a pokemon player so getting to do the game in real life but in a fun sexy way seemed like a ridiculously wonderful dream coming true. If it meant spending more time being mentored by her two trainers and having new friends to train with, that would somehow be even better.

Lily found it hard to disappoint the other ladies but still wasn't sold on the idea of accepting the position until Ren said something else that piqued her interests. That being that she would get to basically design the gym as she saw fit and from the way the official made it sound, the budget was going to be effectively limitless. Many of the crazy ideas Lily had on previous construction jobs began to cycle through her mind. On the other hand new ideas were great too and from the way this guy made it sound, a sporting themed fighting gym was also possible. The idea of owning a pokemon gym that doubled as an indoor community athletics compound was insanely appealing.

But even with that, it sounded like a lot of responsibility on a topic she knew nothing about so Lily still wasn't sold on the gym idea even though she was beginning to come around on it. It meant that she could also have a lot of fun with Michele and the others. Maybe getting to compete against her kids some day would also be amazing. Her only real hangup was whether or not she was qualified. She knew that the original games often involved a lot of deep strategy and one thing Lily had never shied away from saying was that Sarah was the smart one in their relationship. As far as Jessica and Lily were aware she had been the only one to notice several discrepancies between the world before and after the Random Remote entered their lives. Lily expressed her remaining concerns but to her surprise it was Mabel that spoke. "But there are gyms in the Pokemon games with dual head trainers! You and Sarah could just do that."

Both Lily and Ren looked at her and as they did Ren's face began to take on a mischievous grin. The girl was right about the dual trainer gyms but as far as his memory went, a married couple had never been one of them. This could give their facility a unique flair. He even had an idea to make it extra special. A few minutes later they called Sarah back into the garage to explain the plan to her and see if she was interested. When her role in the plan was explained Sarah became the most enthusiastic person in the garage. Ren reached into a hidden coat pocket to hand Lily, Megan, Mabel, and Michele each a shiny badge. Lily received a platinum one that was far larger and more expensive looking than the others which were made of silver. All of them were inland with red gemstones in the shape of a clenched fist. They were told that the badges would give a slight level boost to anyone that received a pokeball from someone who had one of these gym badges but the recipient could only turn into pokepeople that had, 'fighting elements' within their development. Lily being the gym leader would get a larger initial level boost than the others. Right now the systems in charge of pokeball distribution weren’t going to allow more than 4 balls to any trainer or gym leader. After saying that Ren gave two balls each to Megan, Mabel, and Michele before giving four balls to Sarah.

Instead of ending in a group sex session like their training session seemed to be heading towards just a little bit ago, the members of Lily’s gym as well as Gerald, Jessica, Clara, and grandma had climbed into a van owned by Ren’s Pokemon League Creation Committee to where they had apparently set up a meet-and-greet with several candidates that wanted to join Lily’s gym. Somehow after all this time the power and extent to which the Random Remote could change things astounded Jessica. Everybody acted like all of this shit had been going on or at least planned for months except for her, Gerald, and Lily. In an attempt to be fair sports Jessica also asked Michele to text message Catherine about this gathering in case she wanted to stop by and look for some pokepets of her own too.

As they were escorted to the hall where they were supposed to greet their candidates Ren spoke a little bit more about the long term plans and how they hoped that with the video game series being as popular as it is, now that it has somehow become a real thing, it could unite people in a more friendly and universal way. They hoped it could be a common love an interest that people the world over could bond over. He also admitted that it felt like a longshot but he was happy to have a chance and with Lily and Sarah being the down-to-Earth, hardworking, accepting, and not to mention beautiful women they were with a gorgeous family felt they could make for a great public image for the project. Everyone in the van liked what he said and as they began to approach the building he apologized and realized he had forgotten to ask Lily to come up with a name for her gym. If they were going to come up with badges for their gym they would need to know what direction to go with as far as designs.

Lily didn’t need to think very hard. Ren showed him a list of gyms from the Pokemon game and he looked them over. Marsh Badge, Hive Badge, Storm Badge, and Icicle Badges were examples. It seemed fairly simple so Lily wanted something that hinted at sports and the spirit of her coming gym and it gave her an idea, Sarah being her inspiration for the name. “Curveball Gym and the Curveball Badge. That works right?”

Ren just nodded. “You said you wanted a sports theme to your gym and it perfectly sums up Sarah’s role in the plan. I love it!". They spent the next few minutes discussing vague ideas for gym ideas, concepts, and challenges that could be required for trainers to get through. There wasn't much time but getting some ideas and having a back-and-forth with Lily would allow some of their planners and consultants to help work up some ideas that both the Pokemon League and the trainers themselves could enjoy while providing a fair amount of challenge. They continued to talk until they made it to a small local theatre that had a crowd much larger than the Thompsons expected considering their relatively small town. The building wasn't packed but there were at least a couple hundred people there and they were very enthusiastic as Lily and family were escorted to the front.

As they walked hand-in-hand together Lily and Sarah couldn’t help but whisper to one another about the way their future students were eyeing up the crowd. Megan had a haughty smirk as the bulk of her attention was on Gerald and Jessica. It was obvious that their future battles were really getting her excited. Michele had a rather horny and perverted look as she looked the crowd over and it seemed obvious that getting back to the house and starting to experience her pets’ brains out was something she was looking forward to immensely. When commenting on Mabel, Sarah joked that she work in the morning and was going to need to bring the younger woman in to the hospital. That smile might require surgical removal at this point, for a girl that Michele said wasn't a fan of being in a crowd, she was certain embracing her spot as a center of attention right now.

One thing that Lily wasn’t expecting and another thing Ren ‘forgot’ to mention and could have chased her off was that they expected a short speech from Lily to introduce herself to the crowd. She wasn’t sure what to do but her wife Sarah just patted her on the ass and gave Lily a “Go get ‘em, tigress” of encouragement and after a deep sigh Lily stepped forward and did her best.

“Ah shucks." She then looked back at her wife and grimaced. "Jeez, did I just say shucks in public? And jeez, I guess that isn't much better. Sorry I guess I wasn’t expecting this so I have no idea what to say. I didn’t even know I was going to be running a gym until a couple of hours ago let alone giving a speech so I’m going to take some words of wisdom from an enemy of my Atlanta Braves named Kirby Puckett and keep it short in hopes that you all will like me. A lot of you younger kids probably don’t even know who he is at this point but in the 80’s and 90’s he played baseball for the Minnesota Twins and as much as this ol’ Braves fan hates to admit it, one of the best damn all-around players of his era. Maybe any era. As much as I hated to watch him burn us, I had to respect that guy’s skill. But maybe it’s a good thing for me to show some love for an old rival since that’s one of the things I always loved about sports. Friendly competition. We’ll talk endless trash during the game to rivals, we’ll curse and scream all manner of threats or ill wishes in some of our passionate moments, but deep down we don’t really mean it. When the game is over and everything settles down, we can sit across a table with the other side, enjoying a beer and plate of chicken wings or whatever, shake hands, and look forward to the next one. You know, I love that. Friendly competition is something I have always enjoyed. That’s what I hope to encourage. So umm, well, if you want to join up with me and my wife, the rest of my gym here, I guess come meet with us and we can talk. I suppose I can mention that for those of you that just want to get a new form and join the pokeperson thing but don't necessarily want to be a member of the gym, my kids are here and they have a couple of balls each should any of you be interested.”

She took a moment to wave to Gerald and Jessica. “Of course my other daughter there Clara doesn’t have any balls yet and my mom doesn’t either but they’re here to show their support. Can I get some love for them too?” The crowd gave Gerald’s family some polite applause and after that Lily didn’t know what to say so she put up a hand and looked back at Sarah and did a double take when he saw she had all four of her pokeballs in the air as she was doing a rather impressive juggling routine with them.

Sarah was smiling proudly and trying to keep her composure while holding back her laughter. “When did you learn-?”

As Ren took over his role as the master of ceremonies, Lily stood next to her wife and they whispered a little more. Sarah said she watched some Penn and Teller at work on break a few times years ago. She said the big one that talked said he was a juggler before he was an illusionist and thought she could at least entertain kids when they were in the hospital and brighten their day a little bit if she could learn to juggle. Over time she did a little bit more and tried to learn a few more complex tricks as she got better. “Standing in front of the crowd with the balls in my hand, feeling so proud of you, I couldn’t resist putting on a little bit extra of a show to make it memorable. I hope I didn’t steal your thunder after that beautiful speech of yours.”

“Hah! Beautiful? I don't think I'd go that far, I just hope I didn't look like too much of an idiot.”

Sarah tossed one of the pokeballs in the air, bent forward and let it land her head and she stood up letting the ball rest on top of her hair seemingly effortlessly as she gave Lily a kiss on the cheek. “Yes, beautiful. It’s part of what makes me love you and makes me proud to be your wife. It’s what makes me smile. Unless you’re saying my smile isn’t beautiful to you?”

“Well by that standard my speech was one of the most beautiful and magnificent examples of perfection that the world has ever known.”

Lily and Jessica just smiled and stared at one another out of mutual adoration, for a moment forgetting that they were on stage as they flirted and it was a tap on the shoulder from Ren that brought them both back to reality. “I hate to break this up but I can’t help but feel you may want to save some of that energy for any friends you might make here tonight. Going home for some ‘hardcore training’ with them. Rem had each of the other three introduce themselves to the crowd and give a brief overview of what they were like and what they were looking for in their partners. Of course Megan emphasized her desire to compete, Michele talked about the sexual training, and Mabel talked about her loves of martial arts and her desire to follow in the footsteps of Lily and Michele. She was also just a nerd that loved to think and strategize so she had always been a fan of the Pokemon franchise. After they all made their short introductions, Ren encouraged the trainers to wander around and talk to the guests as they saw fit, looking for a potential partner.

Each member of the upcoming Curveball Gym began to mill about the crowd to meet people that were interested in joining as a pet to the gym’s leader and her associates. With the brief introductions it made things a bit easier. People there with different motivations sought out the trainer that most matched their desires though just about everybody tried to have a chat with Lily and Sarah. Since they were going to be in charge, of course everyone wanted to team up with them first and foremost. As everyone mingled Gerald and Jessica were also meeting a few people but made it clear that since this was supposed to be a session for their parents’ fighting gym, they were going to hold off until everyone else had chosen their partners before giving their balls away. Gerald had just finished speaking with a somewhat shy and chubby but still cute young lady when he heard someone shout his name. It wasn’t shouted in normal English. It was in a pokemon tongue. “Shi,” is what what was actually said.

He didn’t recognize the voice at first and when he turned around, the face was definitely not one he’d seen before. Catherine and Darryl were walking up to them and in their midst was a man that looked like the polar opposite of Darryl. Darryl was tall, muscular, and his fur was dark black. Catherine’s apparently new pokeperson had black fur below the waist but the rest of the body was bright blue with star-shaped yellow spots in the middle of the rather large, floppy, round ears on either side of his round, cute, cat-like head. Trailing behind him was a long, narrow blue tail that ended with a star-shaped yellow flare of fur. Aside from that his body was a bit on the skinny and shorter side, and as he shook Gerald’s hand just said “shinx,” several times but everyone listening was able to understand him nonetheless.

He was the younger brother of one of his friends from high school. They barely knew one another but once he introduced himself as Rick, a few vague memories trickled through Gerald’s mind and some elements of the face sparked a vague recollection or two. One of his high school friends had a younger brother who was a year younger than him. They didn’t really hang out but they had met a few times in passing. Their meetings in the past were insignificant and infrequent enough that Gerald was hard-pressed to remember anything about him other than asking about his brother. As he tried to think of something from his memory that he knew about Rick that didn’t directly involve his brother, he addressed Catherine. “So, your meeting went well it appears.”

She sighed deeply and chuckled nervously for a moment. “Not at first honestly. He seemed nice enough and friendly. I liked him fine and it seemed like we could try something but when I asked him why he wanted to join my team and get the ball, he didn’t seem able to answer. I felt that was important to know before committing you know what I'm saying?”

Rick used a hand and scratched the back of his neck and blushed a bit. “It wasn’t until she started to leave that I worked up the courage to say it. It wasn’t just a bit embarrassing to me but it also felt a little silly. I just didn’t think anybody would understand. The battles and training and everything sounded like a fun time and one hell of a ride but more than anything,” he paused and seemed to need to work up a little bit of courage again to say it out loud, “I just wanted to be cute.”

Gerald did a slight double take at that as the reason. Not what he was expecting as a motivator though it did make sense since a cuteness was obviously a part of the Pokemon world. He just did his best to remain passive to see if Rick would explain. When Gerald didn’t seem too judgmental, the pokeman did just that. “I’ve always been incredibly short for my age and skinny on top of that. It never really bothered me though until I got older and others began making fun of me for it. Instead of not caring or trying to get bigger, I kind of developed a ‘fuck you’ attitude and wanted to lean into it. How do you lean into saying being small isn’t a bad thing? Being cute right? Being cute and small are often seen as things that work together for kittens and puppies and rabbits and stuff like that. So I thought being cute would be a way to take my defiance to the next level. Is that weird?”

Gerald nodded his head, slightly shrugged his shoulders, and smiled. “Maybe a little but it sounds like something my mom Lily might have done and I’ve been told that kind of reaction isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.” He then glanced over at his mom and laughed slightly. “Nah man, I say if this makes you happy and you like the way you look now more power to ya. It is kinda cute if I do say so myself.”

After Gerald said that, Rick’s blush intensified and he looked down at the ground awkwardly. Catherine noticed his reaction and immediately stepped forward to get Gerald’s attention, asking if Lily would mind if she went up on stage to announce she had one ball left if anyone was interested in joining her team. Gerald looked over at Lily and Sarah and shook her head. “They already introduced me and Jess to the crowd and I’ve even gotten a few ladies interested. Since this is an event for our moms’ gym we’re waiting for the fighting crew to use their balls if they want to before I make any commitments. I'm sure they both would be fine if you wanted to go up there and say something though.”

With that Catherine thanked him and pulled each of her companions by the hand away from Gerald and towards the stage. Once Gerald was out of earshot she pulled Rick to the side with a knowing smile. “Do you have a crush on him?” Rick just stood quiet for a moment and looked down at the ground. He didn’t say it but Catherine could read him like a book. “Let me guess, you’re pretty sure he’s only into the ladies so you’re scared to say anything?”

Darryl had been listening and did his best to offer support. “That just means we need to work harder to beat his team with those cool electric powers you'll be getting. When he beat us last night with a fighting move me and Cath wanted to make people cum and didn't give a damn who it was. Did you care if it was a cock or a pussy?” Catherine shook her head as Darryl expected. “Neither did I. Until I took this form, I was pretty much just into women myself but now I am not quite sure where it stands. When we lost last night to the Raboot-girl, I would have sucked or jerked off any dick with nothing but the most intense dedication. If we can beat them, he’ll actually be hurt if you don’t have sex with him.”

“You think so?”

Catherine and Darryl both stood next to Rick and walked beside him as they once again began approaching the stage. “Positive. That post-battle sex haze is hard to explain until you’ve gone through it. You’ll understand I guess if we lose at some point but let’s try to avoid that even if it may be fun.”

With that Catherine jumped up onto the stage and tapped the microphone and introduced herself, her two companions, and held up the one ball she had left. “Gerald over there said Lily and Sarah would be cool with me coming up here and after that I decided this is a time I would rather ask for forgiveness than permission. Sorry if I’m out of line but I just wanted to let everyone who’s interested know that I have one spot empty. Anyone that wants to sign up, feel free to drop by and say hi.”

There was a moment of relative silence broken by Megan as she yelled up to Catherine. “Our gym won’t mean jack if we don’t have some decent competition right?! Find yourself a good one!“ Lily and Sarah both nodded and smiled. As she stepped off the stage to get back with her partners, Catherine quickly had a small crowd of people around her as well.

It lasted a couple of hours but soon enough, only Sarah had one ball that remained unaccounted for and she said she wasn’t sure exactly why, but she felt wanted to save it for someone special. At Ren’s request none of the transformations had taken place yet though. Once everyone had gotten into position, he had some workers pull blinds down and turn on some lights around the stage. Apparently he wanted to livestream the announcement of Lily’s gym as well as the transformation of the new pokepeople.
