NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: CHAPTER 22 – VERITY
*Note: please leave me a comment saying "thanks", that's enough for me, and don't forget to give me a 5 star review.
...
After getting a new travel companion, we set off to Cerulean City, home of the second gym badge.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing what Misty looks like in real life, in the anime I didn't really like her design, don't get me wrong, Misty's design wasn't bad, but I wasn't quite convinced.
"By the way, I have a question" – Roxanne said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" – I asked curiously.
"How did your first time feel?" - asked Roxanne.
When we listened, we almost fell to the ground, who asks something like that?
"T-That's private, those things can not be asked!" – said Celeste, red as a tomato.
"In other words, you liked it" – Roxanne said with a smile.
"You... I won't talk to you until we arrive to Cerulean City!" – Celeste exclaimed angrily.
"Come on, don't get angry, I just wanted to know if you enjoyed your first night together" – Roxanne said with a smile.
She then grabbed Celeste's breasts in an oversight and began to massage them.
"Nnn, don't touch my breasts!" – Celeste exclaimed.
"I won't let go of them off until you tell me if it felt good or not" – Roxanne denied.
"You... Okay, you win, it felt good! Are you happy?" – Celeste said.
"Yes!" – Roxanne nodded.
Then, she let go of Celeste's breasts and grabbed my arm making me feel her tits against my arm, how soft they are...
"I'm so envious of you, I also want a boyfriend and have a lot of sex with him!" – Roxanne said looking me in the eyes.
She was looking at me again with the eyes of a badly wounded puppy, seriously, why does she always look at me like that? Does she want me to accept her but she does not dare to say it?
"Ehem, if you keep flirting we won't get to Cerulean City before nightfall!" – Celeste exclaimed.
She didn't try to separate us or anything, she just frowned a little.
"Fine, then I'll flirt with him at dusk" – Roxanne nodded.
This girl is a little sassy... but I like her personality, with Celeste things happened a little slower... Well, I know she fell in love with me in one day, but things were more natural, nonetheless, I guess there are girls who are a little more assertive and don't like to wait that long.
Why didn't I answer Roxanne's provocation? I've just consolidating my relationship with Celeste and I'd see a bit rude flirting with a girl the day after we have our first time, so at least I'll wait until I arrive to Cerulean City, there, I'll talk seriously with Roxanne, but for now I'll hold back.
…
After walking for a few hours while admiring the landscape, we stopped for a while to eat and then continued on our way.
The sky was still blue, which meant that we still had time, specifically 5 hours until nightfall, so if we hurry, we can arrive to Cerulean City in time, because honestly I don't feel like spending the night at the Pokémon Center at the entrance to the MT. Moon, the reason for this is because I'm looking forward to winning my second gym badge and I can't wait to see what Misty is like in real life.
We continued walking without any incident, we just talked along the way, we told each other stories to get to know each other better and when we wanted to realize it, we were already at the entrance of the MT. Moon.
The MT. Moon was a huge cave, there wasn't much to describe.
"Do you think we will have time to cross the MT. Moon and arrive to Cerulean City?" – Celeste asked curiously.
"We have just enough time, if we hurry it is possible that we will arrive on time" – Roxanne nodded.
"Well, let's go to the cave" – I nodded.
But just before entering the cave, we could hear a female voice.
"Excuse me, I couldn't help but listen to your conversation and I bring the solution to all your problems" – said the voice.
When we turned around we could see that it was a girl, the girl in question was Verity, the girl who appears in the Pokémon movie "I choose you", you know, where we see the alternate Ash.
Honestly, I never thought I would see her in person, because I didn't know if she would exist in this world.
Come to think of it, will exists the girls from the video games? I am referring to girls like Gloria, Hilda, Rosa, etc. Until this precise moment I had not asked myself this question, if the system would give me a clue at least...
[I have no idea, I just have the mission to help you be the best trainer of all time, but I have no idea of the world where you live, nor its customs, nor the difference with the world you saw in the anime and no idea if those girls exists or not, I'm afraid you'll have to find out on your own]
I will, sooner or later I will.
"Who are you?" - asked Celeste curiously.
"My name is Verity and I'm a challenger of the Pokémon League and the one who will be this year's winner" - Verity said.
"What a coincidence, I will also participate this year and I intend to be the winner" – I said with a smile.
I will win the Pokémon League, I have no doubt that will happen!
"Then we'll face each other in the Pokémon League, but for now... let's be friends" – Verity said extending her hand.
As a good person that I am, I extended my hand and we both greeted each other.
"And now that we're all friends, let me tell you that there's a way for you to get to Cerulean City in just 4 hours" – Verity said with a smile.
"4 hours? Sorry to disagree, but according to the information I have, Cerulean City is more than 5 hours away from here" – said Roxanne confused.
"Yes, and you're right, but that's only if you follow the conventional path" - Verity said.
"What do you mean?" – I asked curiously.
"I mean I know a shortcut that will allow you to get to Cerulean City in less than 4 hours" – Verity said.
"What do you think?" – I asked the girls.
We are a group of three, so everyone has the right to express their opinion.
"I think if it's true, we can try, otherwise, we'd be very late at night and tomorrow you won't be rested to challenge Misty" - Celeste said.
"Celeste is right, I think it would be better to trust this girl, otherwise, you might lose to Misty for not being sufficiently rested" – Roxanne nodded.
They are both right, besides, in the film, Verity was a good person, I doubt very much that she deceives us.
"Ok, we'll accompany you" – I nodded.
"Perfect, you won't regret it, let's go!" – Verity exclaimed.
She then ran straight to the MT. Moon while we followed her from behind.
…
What should I say about MT. Moon? It was simply a cave with a path clearly made by humans surely so that the trainers could pass without getting lost.
"Ugghh... this looks too artificial" – Celeste said.
"Yes... I didn't even know about this" – Roxanne nodded.
"Exactly, where is the thrill of going through the cave under your own power? The possibility of getting lost and leaving the cave by chance, I demand that you give me back the illusion!" – I exclaimed.
This MT. Moon had a path that led you to the exit directly, there was nothing exciting about this.
"They built this road a couple of months ago, they did it because a lot of trainers complained that MT. Moon was too tedious to cross, so after much insistence, the Pokémon League committee decided to make a path for trainers to cross the MT. Moon without problems" – Verity explained.
"I see... but, even so, this is not exciting" – I sighed.
"That's why... I researched an alternative path and found the shortcut, come on, this way" – Verity said.
When we reached the first corner we encountered, Verity went off the road.
"Ok" – the three of us said.
Then, we move on to Verity.
Apparently, the path Verity chose was more... Exciting, there were no human-built paths and we could observe the Pokémon in their natural habitat, now it feels like an adventure.
