NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29
Walking around the city just proves that the city isn’t all that different from Pewter. Besides the names of the stores, the wares are almost all the same. One store that does catch my eye as we walk is a store that seems to be filled with branded merch, but it only shows the faces of three women constantly. As I look a little closer, I see that they are called the Sensational Sisters. Curious, I led Bea and Flannery into the store.
As it turns out, the Sensational Sisters are sisters to the Gym Leader, Misty. The three of them perform a water show every night at the gym after all the battles are done for the day. During the off-season, Misty will join them as well. The three sisters are not battlers and only have a few pokemon that they use in their shows. They seem to have a large fanbase in the nearby cities and this was their official merch shop.
We leave the shop after a few minutes, not bothering to buy anything. The sisters were cute, but not my type if I am being honest. I never really cared for the valley girl type of girl, they are just exhausting to be around. Tsunderes on the other hand are much more fun to be around, you just tease them until they glow with embarrassment and then you dodge anything thrown your way.
Not long after we get walking down a random street, my music player suddenly starts playing a fun upbeat song. I don’t recognize the song, but it is in Japanese and very catchy to listen to. Lono, who is still drifting nearby, starts to “sing” along with my music player and I quietly hum along as well. As the chorus hits I get an urge to sing along.
Daremo ga me wo ubawareteiku
Kimi wa kanpeki de kyuukyoku no aidoru
Konrinzai arawarenai
Ichibanboshi no umarekawari
Ah, sono egao de aishiteru de
Daremo kare mo toriko ni shite iku
Sono hitomi ga
Sono kotoba ga uso demo
Sore wa kanzen na ai
The song just makes you want to dance along with the beat. We turn around a corner and I see someone dancing and singing on a stage that is set up and has a small crowd around it. The girl on stage seems to dance in perfect rhythm to the song that my music player is playing currently. She has long deep purple hair and is wearing a frilly pink outfit. As I watch her, I notice that her eyes are unusual as they shift from deep purple to a rose pink color and a large white star that takes up her entire iris. As we get closer to the stage, I don’t notice as my music turns down as the person on stage is singing the same song.
We join the crowd to watch the girl sing and dance. I quickly become a fan of her voice and dance along with her as she sings. I also notice a number of sound type pokemon hanging around the stage as well. From a quick glance, I can see four or five Chingling, two Jigglypuff, a Whimsur as well as a Popplio. Sound isn’t a type that is recognized as one of the primary eighteen, but there are a number of pokemon that use moves that make sound or sing as their primary attacks. I feel that Sound may become a true type as we find more pokemon in the wilds.
After performing another three songs, I can see the girl is covered in sweat and glistening in the sunlight, with a smile on her face just as bright as the sun itself. The whole crowd, myself included, cheers as she moves off the stage. The crowd lingers around, so I take a moment to look around and I see a schedule up on one side of the stage. I check the time on my phone and look back at the sign to see who it was that was just singing. It takes a few seconds for me to find her name, and as I read it and the ones below it, my brow furrows as the names seem familiar. Before I can figure out where I know those names from the next person steps on stage and her husky voice draws my attention.
“Oh~hohoho! The roses are red, the fire in my heart is blue; also known as the Scarlet Queen - I am Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame! Lovely to see you, to see you lovely!”
The girl that steps out onto the stage has deep crimson hair and dark red eyes. She stands about a hundred seventy centimeters and is wearing a black sleeveless dress that hugs her curvy body with a bright blue jewel that shimmers like it is on fire on her chest. On top of her dress, she wears a white corset high low dress that flares out behind her. After her introduction she starts singing in a voice that just tickles all the right places.
Her powerful voice enraptures me as I start to dance along with her singing. During this time I grab Bea and Flannery and dance with them as she sings different fun songs. The three of us have big smiles on our faces as we enjoy the concert. I pull out my phone again and take a selfie with the three of us smiling, making sure to capture Elizabeth in the background so I can tag her on Pokegram.
Once her portion ends, there is an intermission so the three of us break away from the crowd and find a cute cafe to eat a late lunch. I pull out my phone and open up Pokegram to make sure to find the two girls that were singing earlier. I happen to see that I have gotten notifications since the last time I opened the app a few days ago in Pewter. What I find is that I suddenly have over a thousand followers. Raising an eyebrow I do a little bit of research and find that I received all the followers after my gym battle. I shrug a little and look up Elizabeth and Ai, luckily it only takes a moment to find both of them as their names are unique. I upload my selfie I took during the concert and tag it with the name of the city and Elizabeth's account before closing my phone and chatting with my girls some more.
As night begins to fall, we start to head back to the pokecenter. During our walk, suddenly my arm is wrapped up in something warm and soft. I look over at my arm, only to find it being hugged by Flannery who has a teasing smirk on her face and raises her eyebrow slightly in challenge. I blush slightly but stare into her eyes with a tiny smirk of my own. With the limited movement of my hand, I slowly start to caress her exposed stomach. Our stalemate continues for a while as we walk until she looks away but doesn’t let go. If anything she squeezes my arm tighter.
Since Flannery wants to hang on my arm, I use my other hand and gently grasp Bea’s hand, testing the waters. We have been with each other for almost two weeks, but we just clicked with each other. It helps that we have been together almost twenty four hours a day. As I grasp her hand, I feel it stiffen slightly but she doesn’t pull it away. I glance over at her and see that her tanned cheeks are a bit darker than normal but she isn’t looking at me, almost as if she is ignoring it. A small smile appears on my lips as we continue our trip back.
We pass a few people along the way that give us a weird look but they just leave us alone. Bea pulls her hand back as we enter the Pokecenter, Flannery on the other hand is taking deep breaths but her hot breath is brushing against my shoulder. I look at her and find her face to be rather red and sexy looking as I caress her stomach the whole time as she didn’t say anything. As we reach our rooms, Bea quickly wishes us good night and disappears into her room.
I look at Flannery as I move towards the door to my room with her still hanging on my arm. I think for a moment and then decide I should push my luck a little. I slid my fingers into the top of her pants, just enough that I could tug on them if she pulled away. I lean towards her ear and whisper gently, my lips brushing her red ears.
“Do you want to come into my room with me?” I ask with a slightly sultry tone as I push my finger tips against the fabric of her pants. I can hear her gulp slightly before looking back into my eyes. Her eyes are slightly watery, her breath is coming in short sexy bursts and her face has a sexy red glow to it. Her eyes search mine for a long moment. I don’t look away, though I wonder if I pushed too hard too fast. My question is suddenly answered in the form of a pair of hot lips crashing into mine. I stiffen at the sudden attack on my lips as I was not expecting it at all.
“Open the damn door, unless you want to stay out here.” She growls at me. I give her a smile and open the door to my room as she pushes my shoulders, forcing me into the room even quicker. My pokemon have just enough time to scoot inside as Flannery pushes the door closed again by slamming me into it and giving me a second, steamier kiss.
