The Recreational Battle Facility

The entryway of the tall, single-story building is made up almost entirely of glass, criss-crossed with thin steel supports holding it together. It leads into a pair of squat adjoining red brick buildings, shorter but much longer and wider than the narrow lobby area. The facility itself is fairly plain and clean, having been constructed not long ago and in a rush. It makes up for this by being decorated with a wide variety of posters and banners advertising various things. One for Silph Co.- specifically their special cream that you remember Brooke advertising for- an ad about Moomoo Milk featuring a voluptuous woman in a cowprint bikini hugging a Miltank, and a particular women’s swimsuit line, with the poster girl being none other than Violet from Cinnabar Island herself, wearing a simple but fashionable purple bikini. But the most relevant thing you see is no ad, it’s the name of this building, displayed in bold blue letters above the sliding glass doors.

Cerulean City Recreational Battle Facility

“This is it! Just like I told you.” Daisy says excitedly as you all come to stand in front of the building.

Smiling at the older girl, you reply. “So this really is a thing now. That’s awesome.” So this is where Blue and Kayla will finally have their first battle…

Everyone had been surprised by the elder Oak sister’s proposal to the two younger girls, and none more so than her younger sister from what you saw. And yet Blue had also been the first to agree with the suggestion, the look in her eyes switching from stunned and confused to fiery and competitive in mere moments. A few extra seconds and a taunt from the Pallet girl were all it had taken to get Kayla fired up as well, and thus the showdown you and Daniel had theorized about became reality.

With the question of whether or not the battle was happening answered, the next question that came up was obviously where the battle would be held. It isn’t necessarily illegal - though there are people pushing for it to be - to just battle within city limits, but it’s considered polite not to, as it can be very disruptive to normal life, so most trainers take their fights somewhere outside city limits. But apparently, there was now a new option, which Daisy knew about thanks to the travel brochure she looked through upon arriving in Cerulean; the simply-named Recreational Battle Facilities.

These facilities were exactly what you’d expect, and exactly what you needed to make the girls’ battle happen. A place within a city specifically for trainers to battle one another, and for people to watch. Up until recently, the only such places were the stadiums Gym Leaders use for their battles against challengers. So when trainers wanted to practice, spar, or settle disputes while in a populated area, they either had to travel outside of the town, or bother everyday people.

The reason that facilities like this have only begun being built so recently is simple; there wasn’t a particularly large need for them up until now. Because there used to be far fewer trainers around, female trainers especially, up until a little over fifteen years ago when laws were passed in Kanto - and shortly afterward in Johto - that made birth control much more easily accessible. Before those laws, it was extremely difficult for women in most fields to get birth control, and near impossible for female Pokémon trainers to get their hands on any. Which is still the case in most regions outside of Kanto and Johto, as far as you know. You can hardly imagine what life must be like in other regions, but at least in your home female trainers have it a bit better than in most other places by comparison.

Which is why, over the past fifteen or so years, the number of people registering to become Pokémon trainers in Kanto and Johto has exploded. Easier access to birth control meant more girls striving to be trainers, more girls striving to be trainers meant more boys becoming interested as well as there were “better pickings”. More people in general being trainers expanded the influence the profession had in the region, leading to even more people becoming interested. Thus the cycle continued, and Pokémon training and battling became an even bigger part of culture and entertainment than it already was, as well as a major part of the economy. Both the job of being a trainer as well as the jobs around it - Pokéball creation, Pokémon medicine development, Move Tutors, etc. - are now central to life in Kanto and Johto. Famous trainers are celebrities and idols, so more and more young people strive to be like them every year. Which is exactly what’s led up to making places like this Recreational Battle Facility a necessity.

“Well this is pretty damn convenient!” Chirps Daniel, a wide smile on his face as he admires the new building. “I wonder-“

“How do we sign up?” Blue cuts the blonde boy off curtly, her steely expression fixed firmly on the entrance of the building. She’s seemed intense ever since the battle was suggested by her sister, her attention focused solely on making this battle happen. So much so that she doesn’t even seem to have noticed the massive picture of her swimsuit-clad idol that sits on one of the buildings, which genuinely stuns you. Guess her competitive spirit trumps even her love of -and horniness for- Violet.

“Let’s walk in and find out.” Kayla says, her tone clipped and expression stony, surprisingly not reprimanding the sandy-blonde for interrupting her master. It seems that she’s just as focused on the prospective match as your rival is, just as intense. You’re starting to realize that, despite some obvious differences, these two probably have a lot more in common than you’d initially thought, or than they’d willingly admit.

The two girls both stride towards the front doors in unison, leaving you, Daniel and Daisy to catch up. “Well, fuck me then I guess.” The Vermillion boy says with a soft chuckle, taking the girls’ ignoring of him in stride.

The elder Oak sister giggles along with him. “My, those two seem rather fired up, don’t they? How exciting! Let’s not fall behi-“

“Hang on, Daisy.” You say, placing a hand on her shoulder to stop her as she makes to follow the younger girls. “Now that we have a second away from them; why?” You ask, staring down into her crystal-blue eyes and seeing the comprehension in them, knowing that you don’t need to elaborate on your question any more than a simple “why”. She knows what you mean.

Not skipping a beat, the beautiful blonde responds, looking up at you with a sweet smile. “Because they need a way to understand one another, and a reason to respect one another, Blue especially.” She lets out a small sigh, then continues. “And a battle can be just that, I think. It’s something they both know, something they both care about, something that can connect them. Do you disagree?”

“I… well…” Her question was asked quite evenly, not in nervousness or irritation. She’s just asking for your honest opinion. And, after hearing her explanation… “I see where you’re coming from now, at least. And… yeah, yeah it could help, I think.” Part of you worries that this could somehow blow up and make things worse between the two… but you’re just going to have to have faith in Daisy’s vision, because the battle is happening regardless at this point. Those girls are fired up, and you know there’s no stopping them now.

“For sure. Those two just need to fight it out. Or fuck it out, either works.” A goofy grin plasters Daniel’s face, and you and your neighbor can’t help but chuckle along with him.

“Yes, my thoughts exactly. And this will give us both of those outcomes, so hopefully that means things are twice as likely to go well!” Daisy replies, no hint of unease on her angelic face. Her confidence and the Vermillion boy’s candor help ease your worries and, at a motion from him, the three of you follow after the feuding girls into the RBF’s lobby.

It’s an unremarkable space, the floors made of gray tiles and the walls painted a pale blue, covered with posters advertising various Poké products and events. Chairs and sofas sit in small clusters, ready to aid those who may have a wait before speaking to the receptionist, a young woman with thick glasses and chocolate-colored curls, who sits behind a large desk at the back of the room. No one is in need of those places to sit at the moment though, as the only people in the lobby other than you, Daniel, and Daisy, are Blue and Kayla, who are already speaking to the receptionist.

“..and you’re all set!” The bespectacled woman says, looking up from her computer with a professional smile after finishing typing something in. “You two can go on and head into the Trainer area, just follow the signs down the hall. Battlefield 3 should be available fairly soon, it looks like the forfeit is about to finish up. Feel free to enjoy watching while you wait, I hope you enjoy your own battle!”

“Thanks.” Blue’s curt reply is a stark contrast to the receptionist's chipper demeanor, and without another word or a look back, she and Kayla begin making their way towards the hallway to the right of the reception desk where Battlefield 3 awaits them.

The trio of you, Daisy, and Daniel walk up to the desk right after the two feuding girls march off, with the elder Oak sister taking the lead. “Good afternoon! Could I get three tickets to enter Battlefield 3?”

“Certainly! But, that’s not exactly how we do things.” The brown-haired woman -who you can now see is wearing a name tag that reads Linda- replies, quickly typing on the keyboard in front of her with practiced ease. “If you’re here to watch, then we issue you a day pass, which is for the whole facility, not just for one Battlefield. Three passes will come out to 3000 PD.”

Your face pales as you hear the price. That means your pass will cost 1000 PD, half the money you currently have on hand… Pokémon Centers may be free, but man everything else is not. Still, you HAVE to see this battle no matter what, so you’re just gonna need to bite the bullet and-

“Here you are.” Daisy says happily as she passes her debit card to the woman behind the desk. Before you can say anything, Linda has already swiped the card and payment is processing. After it completes, a small machine on the desk spits out three small rectangular pieces of plastic with small metal chips in them. The bespectacled woman picks them up and hands them over to Daisy, who takes them and says “Thank you very much!”

“Of course. I hope you enjoy your stay, and please let me know if you have any questions.” The brunette responds with a cadence that speaks to just how often she’s repeated those polite words. And with that, the two blondes turn and start walking towards the same hallway that Blue and Kayla gone through, towards the Battlefield where the feuding girls will have their showdown.

It takes you half a second to follow, still recovering from the dual shocks of hearing the price of the passes and of your neighbor proceeding to pay for all three. After the three of you have moved a little ways away from the front desk, you speak up. “Um, Daisy…” The honey-blonde looks at you over her shoulder, silently prompting you to continue, which you do… quite awkwardly. “Y-You shouldn’t have… I mean didn’t have to… I mean… L-Let me pay you back!”

A small smile forms on her angelic features. “Oh, don’t be silly Red. It’s fine, I don’t mind!”

“B-But, you already paid for our baths earlier-“

Stopping in her tracks, the blue-eyed girl cuts you off. “Yes, and I’ll likely be paying for lunch after this as well. And like I said, it’s fine. I’m more than happy to do it, so please don’t worry yourself over it.” Smiling warmly up at you, she lays a hand on your cheek, her gaze kind and sweet, but brooking no argument.

You find yourself struggling to speak, struggling to **** words out past the knotted lump of anxiety clogging your throat. You don’t want to accept this, mooching off of her like this makes you feel terrible. You’ve already spent years doing that to your Mother, even when money was really tight. But just like Daisy, your Mom always reassured you, always told you not to worry… and you’ve always worried anyway, anxious guilt **** you like it does now, the thought of being a burden tightening your chest. You hate these feelings, like a knife twisting in your gut, this horrible pain that other people seem to not understand, and which you always fail to express properly…

As you silently wrestle with your emotions, unable to find a way to bring forth the words that you want to, a friendly hand claps onto your shoulder, cutting through your anxiety. “Don’t sweat it so much Casanova. Let the lady treat us!” An easy, comforting smile spreads across Daniel’s face, before it shifts into a mischievous grin. “If you really want to pay her back, I’m sure you two can always figure out another way you can pay her back.”

A light chuckle manages to escape your throat as your best friend wiggles his eyebrows at you suggestively, and it becomes a full on laugh as the older girl flicks him in the ear, a light blush accompanied by a poorly masked grin of her own on her face. “Hush you! Honestly…” She shakes her head in admonishment at the blonde boy’s insinuation, but she can’t help but let a giggle escape as she turns back to you. “Red, please, don’t let it bother you. I’m not exactly strapped for cash, and you all have the many expenses that come with being a trainer to deal with. So just let me do this, let me support you on your journey, in my own small way. It would make me very happy.”

Staring down at the beautiful young woman in front of you, with her earnest and kindhearted expression, you find yourself soundly defeated and without retort. “…Well I don’t know how I’m supposed to argue with that.” A half-bitter laugh leaves your lips, but you do feel the knot in your chest start to loosen. “Thank you, Daisy. Really. Sorry for making such a big deal about it.” Even if you're still not entirely comfortable with this, Daniel’s encouragement and Daisy’s reassurance have at least eased your riling emotions… Maybe it really isn’t such a big deal and you should learn to just let this kind of thing go… If only it were that easy.

“It’s alright sweetheart. Now, shall we be on our way? We don’t want to miss out on the action!” She pulls her hand back down from your face

“Damn straight, let’s hustle troops!” Spurred on by those words from the Vermillion boy, the three of you continue on down the sparsely decorated hall at a brisk pace, passing more posters of famous trainers promoting various products as you go. On your left at the end of the hall sits the door leading to your destination. After scanning your passes at a card reader, the lock on the door clicks open, allowing you access to the Battlefield where Blue and Kayla’s showdown will take place.

That a forfeit is going on is immediately clear when you enter. The stench of sex and the sound of many moans hit you immediately, before your eyes even begin to take in the sight in front of you. Like a Gym, several large rows of bleachers filled with spectators line either wall of the large, roofed stadium. And, like after a gym battle, the people here were enjoying themselves as they watched the post battle forfeit taking place on the field below. Men and women masturbate, touch each other with hand and tongue, and outright fuck right in the stands, as is custom… It occurs to you now that this will be your first time actually being in the stands for a battle like this, and your heartbeat quickens at the thought… especially since you’ll be with Daisy.

Turning your gaze towards the Battlefield itself, you see it’s quite simple. A rectangular packed dirt floor sectioned off by white paint, showing the scars of previous battles through dents and scorch marks. Far more alluring than the field though is the forfeit that’s wrapping up upon it. A lean, toned young man with mint green hair and androgynous features that border on effeminate stands naked, rapidly thrusting his cock in and out of the mouth of the woman kneeling in front of him. His hand grips her short auburn hair tightly as he pumps, and you can hear the gagging sounds she’s making even over the sexual din of the audience.

Glancing off to your right, you see Blue and Kayla standing together next to a blonde woman you don’t recognize, hair done up in a messy bun. The stranger is holding a microphone in one hand, while the other is busy beneath her skirt as she watches the ongoing face-fucking. A similar nametag to the receptionist on her shirt makes you assume she’s probably the officiator or MC for the battles that go in this room, and she certainly seems to enjoy her job… Your friend and rival however, seem to barely notice what’s going on, or just don’t care. The Pallet girl is tapping her foot impatiently, while the skinny brunette is staring straight ahead stone-faced, both just waiting for their turn to fight.

And their turn is soon to come, as the green-haired man currently is. He rips his dick out of his prize's mouth and begins rubbing it furiously with his free hand. Moments later, his penis erupts, spraying his semen all over the kneeling girl’s face, who accepts his load with her mouth open. Shot after shot hits her, landing in her mouth and dripping down her face, as many in the crowd cry out their own pleasure as well. A massive cacophony of elated moans fills the space, coming in waves as the audience… cums in waves.

You can feel your own cock stiffening at the scene before you, and you glance over at Daisy to see her reaction. You’re not sure if this is her first live forfeit or not, but flushed excitement is plain to see on her face either way. She bites her lip lightly, fiddling with the hem of her dress, and glances back at you. A deeper red blush of embarrassment adds to the color on her cheeks as she notices your gaze, but she smiles at you nonetheless. “Should we go find some seats? I have a feeling the match we’re here to see will be starting soon.

As if responding to your neighbor’s words, the blonde MC lifts her microphone up and begins to speak, slightly breathless from her own orgasm. “Whew! Oh man, what a show, am I right everyone!” The audience raise their voices in agreement, cheering and hollering for the two trainers out on the field. “I know, I know! Buuuut, we’re not done yet! We’ve got another pair of trainers raring to go at each other right now, a couple of pretty gals who’re lookin’ to fight and fuck in front of all of us!” Fresh cheers erupt from the bleachers, and the announcer has to wait a moment for everyone to calm down so she can be heard again. “Sanitation staff are gonna be out to clean the stands real quick, so if you need a minute to grab some refreshments, stretch your legs, or use the restroom, now’s the time! ‘Cause comin’ up in just a few minutes we’re gonna have ourselves some classic girl on girl action, and you’re not gonna wanna miss a second!”

As the MC belts out her announcements, you and the two blondes manage to find an unoccupied, unstained section of bleachers to sit yourselves in while everyone else gets up and goes about whatever business they have before the next match begins and the cleanup crew comes through… They have a hell of a job. The two trainers on the field have collected their clothes and are leaving the field, the mint-haired man grinning slyly at the young woman, whose cum covered face has gone red as she hurries away, staring at the ground.

After the pair vacate the field, your waiting companions begin to move almost in unison, taking swift, purposeful steps towards the field, paying no mind to anyone else. Once they’ve each reached opposite ends of the painted white rectangle, the two turn to stare at each other; silent, resolute, prepared, simply awaiting the call to start. You find yourself gulping in anticipation. This is it. The tension between the two girls is palpable, and it has reached its breaking point… In just a few minutes, Blue and Kayla will finally battle, and then you’ll find out if Daisy’s strategy will bear fruit.
