[Pokelandia] That one which isn't focused on Masanari

[ Rin has been on his Pokémon journey for the last five months. It's not exactly the longest journey ever, but for a teenager who didn't exactly have a plan when he set out other than wanting to catch up to his twin brother, with whom he's battled several times and still has a record that shows more losses than wins, it certainly feels like a long one. Certainly long enough for him to train up a reasonably strong team and to get used to things like sleeping outdoors when he's out of towns and cozying up in a Pokémon Center when he was in a town. The life of a trainer was being frugal, especially if you weren't a Pro.

Then again, there's still a lot you can do even without being a full Pro, which is shown by the fact that the teenager, through many hard battles, has probably seen a little more than half the country, hiked over a mountain, and earned three gym badges this far. In comparison to some legendary prodigies he's working at a moderate pace, but then he wasn't really aiming for the League Champion position and he wasn't really necessarily out to be the Best at first.

But he did want to be the Best in his family. But that's a whole other thing he's not really sure how to explain to anyone else. Rin's starter was a cute little Shinx who he began his journey with, and who in the aftermath of their climactic second gym battle actualized into a humanoid as a result of their celebratory bond. That was on of the proudest moments of his life. It's not necessarily rare for trainers to bond with a Pokémon to that extent, but it's also not necessarily common, and that gym leader had ruffled his hair and told him good job. Aside from here, he's caught maybe six or seven other Pokémon, of which three are in the care of the people running the academy he used to go to school in, his connected PC system. One of those Pokémon is Junko.

Junko is a beautiful and somewhat vain (or at least, he sees her as such) Sylveon who he caught after a fierce battle while hiking through a mountain range past a certain City. He wasn't able to fight the gym leader there who was supposedly away on business, but he did shake hands with the leader's son and promise to come battle them again some day. It's been about a month since then, and he's taken to sleeping against her as a pillow (at her suggestion) when they are camping outside, while many of his other pokemon prefer to rest in the comfort of their balls. ~~I leave you to decide how Audrey sleeps~~

And so... one morning, following such a rest-- ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's drooling on what is now her very human stomach and the sensation of it is weird and she makes an equally weird sound to communicate that to the Butterfree that's staring at them.]

Wa-ke up!

[Talking is incredibly difficult, what the fuck!! How does her mom make this look so easy? She talks for hours! Ugh.

Junko tries to wiggle, force her arms to move over to Rin's head so that she can try to get his head on the ground for just a moment. She needs Audrey, but that girl sleeps just as hard as Rin so there's no way she's heard anything useful. When Rin's settled Junko tries to find Audrey's Pokéball, ignoring the little sparkles that seem to cling to her immediate area, and from a weird angle she can see that her hair is a strange black that can appear a weird blue, and the mid to end points are an ombre pink that resembled her fur. But her skin is - definitely human and pale and smooth and this is so weird!!

While she tries to find the right ball, suddenly completely unable to coordinate her brain enough to psychically scream Audrey's name, the feelers attached to her bow poke at Rin's face very aggressively.]

[ Well she's got a one in five chance! ... Though the miracle of pokéballs is that they are a little bit see thrown if you view them through the right angle, so you might be able to see the Luxray snoozing in there. But there's also a Lampent, a Minun... sadly, she picks both of those off his belt before she picks up Audrey's, which is funny because Audrey is usually the first one there! Well, first in terms of what he grabs to throw, which might not be obvious.

But hey, she got a result!

Which is him groaning, focusing his dead fish eyes which is his "sleeping with his eyes open" eyes roughly in her direction while itching his stomach under his shirt and saying, ]

C'mon jus'... five more... hours...

[ . . . ]

Hours?!

[She's not even surprised, really, just always endlessly exasperated with how deeply he and Audrey can sleep, like there's nothing in the world to be concerned about! She does get the right ball though, and though from that right angle she sees a Luxray when she presses the ball and frees it, what comes out is a young woman a good three years older than herself. But, then again, Audrey had three evolutions, so it's not at all unexpected.]

Already?! [When Audrey yawns her triangular ears lay flat and her tail straightens out, her row of teeth practically glint in the sun.] Shit, Rin, why ... [And then Audrey looks at the mess in front of her.] Well, damn.

[Junko, finally relieved to have some help, makes a whimpering noise.]

Relax, you're gonna be fine. Let's just get this lazy fucker up.

[Junko gives a withering look, which hardly fits her definitely-not-human blue eyes.] L-ike y-your better!

[Audrey's tail swishes over to give Rin the tiniest, safest little jolt.] Whatever. Come on, Rin, up and at'm!

Uuuugggghhh--!! Don't do that!

[ But he blinks from the jolt, groaning a little as he rolls on the ground, trying to look away. Or maybe face away? He curls up on the ground, trying to pretend that it's not morning because it still look too dark out for him to want to be awake?? Okay?? And he thus is facing away from them with his face against the dirt and his ass up in the air for them, wiggling as he tries to will himself back to sleep.

Are they naked? Junko probably is, right ]

You're awake enough to say a whole sentence, but you won't just get up ...

[Audrey is so genuinely used to this daily irritation that she isn't actually bothered it at all, it's sort of like going through the same motions with different words. While Junko huddles in on herself because it's cold and she's still really thrown off by all of this, Audrey rolls her eyes.

She leans over Rin and pinches his nose with her thumb and forefinger, even if he's smart enough to just breathe through his mouth she's gonna dig her nails into his skin until it's too painful for him not to react. Mostly because Audrey's a little shit, and she's way too tired to do anything more dramatic than that. Like sit on his face.

Junko is very, very naked and cold and though she can't see it, there's a pink and beige 'bow' in her hair that keeps her feelers grounded, and both are shivering every few moments because existing without fur is sort of awful so far. They're out in the middle of nowhere and Audrey has clothes (come to think of it, her mom always has clothes, too. What the fuck.).]

Come on, Trainer Boy, your favorite pet's all shiny - Literally! Junko needs your help!

[Audrey doesn't really thing that saying it will help but she tries anyway.]

[ Ten seconds of resistance to her pinch later, the young man swats his hands out at her, as if trying to dislodge her, whining as he goes and sucking somewhat jerky through his mouth. And then after twenty seconds his eyes are focusing on much of nothing in particular. And then after twenty-five his eyes open wide and he groans, sitting up properly and yanking on Audrey's arm as he shakes his head ]

Come ooooon, it's stupid early! I can't see the sun!

[ Through all of the trees. No, you can, if you tried, he's just being a whiny. Also Gijinka get to keep their clothes when they transform, just sort of saved as an "extra" as they go back to Pokémon form. Of course, you don't get to start with clothes though.

That said, he's sitting up now, glaring up at Audrey with a pout ]

Dude!

[This is Audrey's Serious Crap Is Going Down voice, and she narrows her eyes at him in a critical expression before she points over to Junko. He needs to man up right now and help his Pokémon!] Don't be lame, she's cute!

[Which, to be fair, Audrey's absolutely bangin', thank you very much, but Junko's like, stupidly, literal-fucking-sparkles-with-cute-eyes cute. Audrey's not even a dude and she kind of wants to bang the weird little Eevee mutation but this isn't about her right now. It's about Rin and Junko and the fact that, somehow, that little thing cared about this idiot enough to literally transform. It's kind of a big deal.]

... Rin?

[Junko's voice is operating a little better, the almost bell like lilt to it is normal, actually.]

[ Oh.

It's Audrey's tone which makes him come alive and stop being petulant far more than being suffocated, yelled at, and shocked. His eyes focus immediately in front of him and he actually reaches down to his belt, ready to throw out his Lampent if needed to allow them to escape from whatever Pokémon was going to bare down on them...

But then he realizes it's the wrong instinct, and his lips come together in a strange duckbill expression. He leans forward, looking a bit confused for a long moment until he recognizes her. He looks up at Audrey, but before he even makes eye contact he looks back at Junko and starts to crawl over towards her.

He looks... ]

Oh... Junko? [ He didn't get to pick her name, unlike how he named Audrey. Audrey had told him her name in translation. But it's still a special name, right? ]

Hi.

[When she waves her very human hand, her feeler goes through the same motion, which is what she'd do in her normal form in order to greet someone.] ... You wouldn't wake up, so I got Audrey ...

[POINTED LOOK FROM AUDREY, but anyway.] It's fine, kid, he'll help you out from here out.

[Does Rin really need her help? Because if not Audrey's gonna go back to sleep. He's already been through this with her so he knows to get her a basic outfit, at least, and also probably get her warm, too. They're not ridiculously far from town but Junko probably doesn't know how to walk properly just yet, so he'll either have to leave them behind or help her along.

Either way, they're at an impasse. Audrey means to stay out of the way and Junko isn't sure of what to do at the moment. Is Rin happy or half asleep or???]

[ ...! !!!

Oh man, oh man, oh man... Rin's strange expression turns into a wide smile, and he grins at Junko, crawling the last few steps closer to her and gets up closer to her. And finally, he makes to wrap his arms around her, hugging her close to his chest. He did the same with Audrey, so he's ultimately mirroring the movement. As a Pokémon trainer, he loves all of his Pokémon. But to have one - no, two - actualize into a humanoid form like this? It was basically the most amazing thing in the world. Still, not sure what response to give other than obvious joy and hugging the naked young woman towards him (wow- wow, she's about as chesty as Audrey what weird luck did he have??) he laughs and says - ]

Good morning!

[She doesn't really think to move away from Rin as he gets so much closer, to the point of totally invading her space. It seems perfectly fine, or maybe she just really wants the hug, considering how apt she is to lean into him, even with her arms still crossed over her boobs (therefore obscuring exactly how big they are) she leans into Rin's chest. ... Even like this, he's still bigger than her. At least she doesn't have to look up as much, though.]

Good morning.

[Junko curls her face into his neck, and her feelers sort of curl around his shoulders, though one seems pretty happy to stroke his cheek a little.]

... I'm really cold!

[Be joyful and hug and also give her something to put over her body.]

[ Being on a pokemon journey, he really only has two sets of clothes himself. Audrey only has one. They have some other accessories and sometimes buy more when they stay in a town for an extended period of time, but for the purposes of packing light tend to sell them or ship them back home or something whenever they leave. So it's not like he has another outfit laying around - and assuming Audrey didn't just transform back into a Luxray and/or nod off again... Well, he's going to need to go to a town and get her an outfit.

Or give him something of his?

He... He laughs a little at that being her first word though, or that she returns the hug with the feelers. He snorts, brushing the back of her had and being surprised at how multi-color her hair is. Mind you, Audrey's pet in her hair was fun too...

Did the other girl go back to sleep or did he need to assure her it was okay or--

No, Junko. He nods, and Rin makes to roll his own sweater off himself at least to try and get it on her, now he pulls back from the hug ]

R-right! Guess you can't just change back yet- let's get you clothes?!

[Audrey has ollied out as of their hug because it seems her idiot Trainer is on the right track for it all, so she's not so worried. It wasn't a moment that should involve her, yo.

Junko, meanwhile, is a little reluctantly to pull away from him but apparently she has to, especially to try and figure out the sweater which ... Does not go well immediately, her arms feel gangly and she can kind of get them in the holes and then her head is stuck at an odd angle and her feelers freak out because they're temporarily smooshed in and it's. A feat. ]

I don't know how! [She pulls on his shirt, putting both her hands on his arm and squeezing.] You're, uh.

[He was before too! But now it's like ...] ... Clothes are a good idea.

[ Sleep well, Audrey. Sleep well for both of them.

But Rin, despite the fact he should be tired, his actually deeply energized, helping her get the sweater on properly and pulling the feeler out from the fabric to get them out - there. He's pretty sure he's got it. And he tugs a bit at each of her sleeves and... there! He's in a somewhat rolled up by way of pulling a sweater off it T-shirt and shorts. It's not that cold if you ask him they're in a temperate climate. But he did also have a throw blanket over him, which he now puts over her lower half ]

Okay! I think it's like instinct? But I can get ya' clothes... from the next town over. [ A beat ] If stuff's open now.

[ And he'd need to leave her which she might not want - Audrey transformed in a town, it was easier then. ] Eeehehe, sorry it's inconvenient. I'm glad though.

I'm going with you!

[How she's supposed to do that with a blanket to cover her new human parts - which are apparently not meant to be stared at by everyone - is kind of a mystery, but she's got the same determined look that she often has before a particularly intense battle. If he wants to argue with her he should really expect a fight, and to also pry her off of him, because Junko's already wrapped both of her spindly arms around one of his.]

Y-You can't leave me with Audrey, she's going to sleep for the next four hours!

[Hey, look at her getting the hang of this talking thing!

Rin would probably go there and be back in that time! Of course, if so ordered Audrey would obviously look out for Junko anyway, and they're really in a pretty safe areas as it is.]

B-but that's the whole point, you're kinda naked! Which isn't gonna look right or nothing!

[ But then... he doesn't know her sizes or measurements or what she would like to wear either. So she probably should go with him all things considered. And he eyes - it's so paradoxical to see huge blue eyes which are sparkling like hers look determined, but they totally do. He swallows, and sees her arms around his, feeling warm in his body and his cheeks ]

B-but okay. And we don't gotta go... right now. Unless you're too cold or whatever.

Mm ...

[He's right, of course, and while she doesn't exactly want to wait around all day she doesn't want to leave Rin's side, either. So this is a bit of a conundrum.]

... Go in a little while, then. [She'll feel better about it once she's gotten used to some of this, but right now she feels like a hatchling again, defenseless and near blind without her mother nudging at her, her father's voice calling her name. That, paired with all of the new stimuli, the advanced hearing and all this skin and the limbs and fingers is a bit much.]

You can lie down again if you want.

[Rin can probably manage to sleep with Junko on him anyway, but before he can really do anything she seems perfectly fine with practically crawling into his lap. He's a lot warmer than the blanket, though she isn't neglecting that either.]

[ Think of it like evolution! After all, you weren't born sparkling and using those weird little bow tentacles, right? Once upon a time, you were an Eevee and nuzzled up to your mom and Eevee bother, right? Probably... Still, Rin's swallowing when she curls up on top of him - she's much heavier like this, and more to the point like this she's naked from the waist down, and he can feel her against him, as well ad maybe her tail if she has one.

At least he doesn't have that much morning wood? There's that, small blessings.

Still, he reaches his arms around her and checks out her hair and feelings, and nudges her a bit to se can check out her new face. Those eyes, and the way she's sparkling... ]

Nah, I wanna keep checking you out.

[ He could have worded that better. Whatever. He looks around - did Audrey put herself back in the ball or curl up to snooze somewhere in the clearing? He doesn't want to be all weird in front of her probably... Nah, whatever, focus back on Junko. ]

[There's a tail, but it's mostly swaying back and forth, naturally curved upward. It's one of the many parts and pieces that she hasn't quite found the time to notice, which is probably why Rin's comment doesn't seem terribly out of place. Hell, she wants to check herself out! And him.

But, nah, Audrey has gone back into her ball, so she's nowhere to be found.]

So I don't look [What's the word for it?] bad?

[That, sure. While she asks the question Junko leans again a bit, trying to put more weight on her legs as she straddles his lap so that it's easier to look at all of him.] I'm still smaller than you ...

[Her hands are slim, and most of her body is made up of undeniably feminine, gentle curves, which only make her boobs stick out all the more, a feature that isn't built for the rest of her now human body. So, to her, Rin seems oddly sturdy, and she drops her palms on his shoulders, squeezing them and trailing down his chest. There's a look of pure, serious concentration which probably doesn't fit her eyes anymore than determination.]

[ That's probably for the best, Audrey, because now he can't assume you're starring at him. That said, it might be good to send her or one of the others out of their balls? Many of them are now resting on his waist, if Junko didn't knock all of them off his belt while getting Audrey out. Still, he inhales, and... Bad?

No, of course not. ]

'Course you don't look bad! And-- and I mean, with humans, a lotta time girls are smaller, you know? [ Right? Right... He's pretty sure, at least. that's not the case with all (or even most, really) Pokémon species, so she might not know that! He honestly doesn't know much about her life before she was caught by him, or her family situation. Call it a curse of only being able to speak to her through Audrey, at least in terms of understanding details enough for all that. He did know that she was named before he caught her, but some Pokémon apparently did that if they were intelligent enough, like mot psychic types. But that's most of what he actually knew.

Like all Trainers, that history mattered a little less than the bonding they made since then. Time spent together, battles performed, pettings and groomings done, meals cooked, all that good stuff.

... Wait, she was touching him. Examining him? He's only got a relatively thin undershirt on his top now and of course his shorts. ]

Mom's almost as big as dad, though.

[Granted, Nariko is still shorter than Masaomi but Junko's thinking in volumes, in the fact that her mother has curves and a personality which also feels awfully big, too. Granted Junko is also quite young so while she won't reach quite the same size, it stands to reason that she might as least fill out a bit more in the relative future.

And yes, she is examining him without any second thoughts or hesitation. It's not like Rin even minds! He's just sort of letting her go about it, so if he wants her to stop he'll probably need to be a little serious about the matter, especially before she eventually lowers downward.]

That does make sense, though. It's a little difficult to figure out humans' sizes when I'm usually lower on the ground.

[Her dad, for example, kind of looks like a giant, and Yamato's a moderately compacted giant. Speaking of his undershirt, though! Junko sticks her hands right under the hem, palms along his lower stomach.] No wonder you always need blankets and so many clothes! There's nothing to keep you warm!

[It's just - skin. Wow. Somehow it hadn't occurred to her that humans were so fragile and ill protected for basically ... Anything. No wonder the Pokémon did the fighting! Even Junko, with her fur, stood a better chance than Rin.]

[ ... Did he know that her parents were a human and a Pokémon?

Rin puzzles at her statement, looking deep into her sparkling eyes, trying to discern where the color began and the sparkles ended, even when she was concentrating like this. The young man looks back curiously at her with his own sky blue eyes, making a light noise of surprise as she touches him like that under the shirt. He grins though ]

Yeah, you're a lot bigger than normal like this.

[ Still has the tentacle bow thing though. That's kind of cute? He reaches out to try and poke at the fleshy bow ]

Heheh, yeah though, that's how it works!

[ It's a symbiotic relationship, humans and Pokémon. Humans are weaker, but they make tools and within some exceptions tend to be smarter, or at least able to view a situation from perspectives that Pokémon would never think of. In that respect, some legends say that the reasons Pokémon battle trainers when they're wild or why weaker ones come out to fight near towns were young trainers often start is in hopes that a Trainer will catch or bond with them. Strong Pokémon can survive in the wild, of course, but one who has a trainer to think for them (or well, with them) and guide them will almost always benefit from it.

Or at least, that's how he's heard it. There's all sorts of legends about the relationship, how it began, why it continues, and how it used to be deeper at some times and worse at other times ]

[Junko's never really mentioned it to Audrey, she's mostly just talked about Koji, since all three were Pokémon and it was a broad enough subject! If he really stares hard at her eyes he might notice that they aren't a complete blue. Rather than black, her pupil is actually an incredibly dark brown, mirroring what her eyes probably would have been had she been born human. The outside is still bright, shining blue though.

The bow feels like warm velvet, and it twitches upon being poked, but Junko herself doesn't feel any pain, and her tenta-feelers wiggle a little in response, as if alarmed, but are otherwise docilely hidden with the locks of her multi-colored hair. She tilts her head and her ears at him - they're still long and pink, with the fleshy insides the same pale blue as her eyes.]

It's a good thing I was always keeping watch then, since neither of you can ever stay awake.

[That's all far more philosophical than Junko could ever hope to be, but she does know that it's only right to look out for Rin. She can't imagine leaving him on his own even with Audrey, who is often a little more rough in order to get her point across. Junko likes to think she's a little more gentle (it is something of an honest lie).

She wiggles down a little to try and press her ear to his chest, shifting her hands so that they wrap around him. It takes a little moving around but eventually she finds what she wants - his heartbeat. Is it fast? Slow?]

Hey, now that I can talk ... I want to say something. [And it's kind of out of the moment, so he'll just have to humor her.]

The next time you go fight your brother, I want you to use me, okay? Because you're going to win.

[ Honestly, his heartbeat is a little on the fast side. How could it not be, even apart from the tremendous excitement of having one of his beloved Pokémon like him enough to become a humanoid (a second one at that) he was now being draped over by a gorgeous young woman. The whole thing gives him this strange mix of proud happiness and vague attraction, getting lost in both her eyes and her details.

In all honesty, it's way too philosophical for Rin too. Ask him to explain it, and he might give a vague "that's how it is" answer just like he gave there. It's rather the culture he was raised with, one which, if you believe the ancient legends, human society actively cultivated once the threat that they should never create a sword again was passed down to them by the Pokémon of old. One in which there used to be no differences between man and Pokémon. ... Which really, the likes of Junko now solidified the boundary as still being murky. ]

Hey, we could also probably use Chucky! He's kinda a night guy. [ That being his Lampent. But still, he laughs a little, hearing out... Oh. ]

S'not like I've tried to not use you, you know...

I know that.

[She presses her ear against his chest a bit more, as if she could somehow get closer to it if she just willed it.] But it's just ... This time I'm going to make sure you win. That's all. N-Not like I was holding back before, or anything!

[That's really not the way she goes about battles, so it's not difficult to believe either way. For being so cute she's rather serious when it comes down to it.]

I have an older brother whose really cool. I love him to pieces, but it's always ... Difficult, you know. With siblings.

[Even more difficult when one sibling his human and the other is a creature.]
