Pokemon: I am Gary

Morning light filtered through the curtains into the room as Gary rubbed his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering.

"Ugh~ Ohayo~" After stretching lazily, Gary froze.

"What... what's going on here...?"

In the warm, velvety carpet of the champion suite, Lorelei, wearing cute plush pajamas with her collar open revealing a hint of her fair skin, lay beside Gary, breathing softly.

On the other side, Erika, in a silk nightgown, and Sabrina, in a lace transparent nightie, were cuddled up together by the table…

Gary wore a bewildered expression, trying to recall what had happened the previous night.

"Mmm~" Furrowing her brows, Sabrina was the first to wake up, her long black hair messy and her pale face looking around in confusion.

"Hi~" Gary waved awkwardly.

"Oh~ You're awake! The punishment from last night isn't done yet. Truth or dare?" Sabrina's eyes lit up as she sat up eagerly.

"Huh?" Gary blinked, gradually remembering.

Last night, he had dinner with Ash and his friends along with Lorelei. They had a great time laughing and playing around.

Afterward, Ash took Brock and Misty to find Blaine. Gary was pulled back to the room by Lorelei and the others who weren't done having fun yet.

Gary ordered a case of champagne and a case of clear sake; the four of them sat on the floor of the suite's living room playing cards and drinking…

Sabrina had cheated at cards using her psychic powers! It took Gary twelve glasses of champagne to realize what was happening!

Poor Erika hadn't even started playing the next game before getting drunk…

She lay beside Gary like a flower waiting to be picked.

The three of them pushed her aside and continued playing Monopoly…

After two more rounds, Lorelei also started to feel tired and fell asleep against Gary's shoulder.

With just two of them left, Sabrina suggested playing truth or dare.

After that, Gary couldn't remember much; he probably fell asleep too…

"Ahem~ Shouldn't we all freshen up first?" Lorelei sat up, putting on her pajamas' plush bunny ear hood to cover her messy hair.

"Yeah, let's all go change first," Gary said helplessly while covering his face.

Lorelei's Pikachu pajamas were fine, but Erika and Sabrina really didn't treat him as an outsider!

"Okay~" Sabrina pushed Erika beside her with some regret. "Wake up~"

"Yamete~ Gary-san, you can't do that…" Erika's soft voice made everyone in the room turn beet red.

This girl really knows how to have fun even in her dreams…

Lorelei helplessly tapped Gary's forehead. "Look at you; how many people have you hurt!"

Gary feigned innocence. "I didn't do anything!"

Finally waking up, Erika opened her eyes to see three teasing gazes directed at her.

"G-Good morning," she said awkwardly as she shrank back. "What's going on?"

Sabrina smirked slightly as she mimicked Erika's voice. "Ahem~ Gary-san, you can't do that~"

"Ah!!" Erika instantly became wide awake, her face turning bright red as she covered it in embarrassment.

"Alright! Let's hurry back to change! Aren't we heading back today?" Lorelei reminded them helplessly.

"I-I'll go first!" Erika jumped up like a startled little animal and dashed out of the room.

Sabrina crawled quickly in front of Gary and reached out to touch his six-pack abs.

Nodding in satisfaction, she said, "Consider this interest for truth or dare."

With that, she used teleportation and left the room in an instant.

Watching the bewildered Gary, Lorelei smiled slightly. "Alright then. Gary-kun, do you want to turn around and avoid this?"

"Huh?" Gary tilted his head in confusion.

Lorelei loosened her robe slightly. "My clothes are right here; no need to go change."

Gary covered his face with one hand while peeking through his fingers.

Oh my god! It's like a snow mountain!

Lorelei smiled slightly as she put on her gold-rimmed glasses; even though she wasn't competitive, she still looked stunning!

"Well then, I'll go check if breakfast is ready." As Lorelei got dressed neatly, Gary hurriedly slipped out of the room.

"Phew~ If this continues, I'll soon be lacking nutrition." He rubbed his stomach and sighed. "I'm so hungry~"

After breakfast, Lorelei and Erika were set to head back.

Erika and Sabrina still had students to take care of; as for Lorelei, it seemed like there were big plans brewing within the league lately so she needed to return to Silph Co. for standby duty.

After seeing off the three ladies at the ferry terminal, Gary finally breathed a sigh of relief—he hoped not to go through such seductive torment again…

"You're truly impressive for managing to handle an Ice-type Elite Four member while also bringing along two gym trainers?" A voice that was three parts handsome and six parts lewd came from behind him.

"That… is that you Archer? Do you believe I'll tell Giovanni that you want him as your godfather?" Gary replied with a smirk.

Archer's eyes brightened. "Really? A father figure?"

"What do you want?" Gary shook his head in exasperation.

"Well, Boss Giovanni sent word that research results from New Island have reached a critical stage. If you're interested, you should head to Tokiwa City soon," Archer replied with a smile.

"Oh—okay. I understand." Gary frowned slightly; he wondered if he would make it in time for his meeting with Mewtwo…

"I'll take my leave then." After greeting Gary, Archer leaped onto a massive tentacled jellyfish floating on the sea and sailed away swiftly.

Watching Archer leave, Gary stroked his chin; perhaps it was time to find himself a water mount!

While Golduck swam quickly enough, it was too small for riding…

"Squirtle!" Suddenly a suspicious little bald head popped out from behind some cargo boxes at the dock.

With a bag of cookies in its mouth, the little guy quietly swam toward the sea.

"Right! Kamex Island!" Gary's eyes lit up; there seemed to be a decent Blastoise there!

Without hesitation, he found a small boat at the dock. Taking out some rope, he tossed out a Poké Ball. "Golduck! Follow that Squirtle!"

Golduck tied the rope around its waist and dove into the water with enthusiasm.

Following closely behind Squirtle while it paddled energetically with its cookie bag without noticing Golduck sneaking behind it was quite amusing…

As an unmarked island on the map, without Squirtle leading the way, Gary would have struggled to find it himself.

Following Squirtle closely, he soon spotted a massive island shaped like a turtle shell.

"Squirtle!" Upon reaching shore, Squirtle hugged its cookie bag excitedly and shouted joyfully.

Then rows of little bald heads popped out one after another.

Next came three-tailed Wartortle…

Finally appeared a large-bodied Blastoise with strong limbs!

All the turtles looked speechless at their cheerful Squirtle.

"Squirtle?" Squirtle looked puzzled at its companions—what was going on today?

Gary swaggered up with Golduck beside him and beckoned toward Blastoise. "Come here!"

Squirtle turned around in surprise Oh no! Is it coming for me?
