A Training Journey Story by 2BIT Request for Leon Therma Pokemon (c) Nintendo A Quilava and a Greninja walked along a path, twisting through a deep forest. The Quilava, named Leon, was an unusual sort of Quilava; a regional variant from the Hoenn region, who had horns on his head and a long tail. The Greninja, whose name was Xerxes, had been traveling and training with Leon ever since the Quilava had defeated him in battle some time ago. Even now, the Greninja's purpose on this journey was to learn and grow stronger. However, he wasn't sure exactly what Leon wanted out of their current journey. They were headed for the nearest city for now, but their final destination was unknown to Xerxes. Leon would playfully evade answering when asked. If he wanted to be trained, the frog Pokemon had to do as told without question. He was essentially Leon's pet until further notice. This annoyed Xerxes, he wished he could get Leon to take his training more seriously rather than toying with him, among other rather humiliating things... But to become stronger, he thought it wise to train with one who could best him. Plus, he gave his word he would obey, and he was honor-bound to continue obeying his master until his training was complete. So, without knowing any further details beyond their current route taking them to the closest city, Xerxes walked along the twisting path with Leon silently...until they reached a fork in the road. At this point they stopped to consult their map, one of a handful of supplies Xerxes had brought in a small knapsack for preparedness' sake. Leon examined it briefly and quickly made up his mind. "That way." he said as though it was the obvious answer. Xerxes looked in the direction he pointed and then back at the map. "That way will take far longer. If I surf the river in this direction, we can be in the city by nightfall." he pointed out. Leon folded his arms and shook his head at the Greninja. "I said we're going the other way. Don't talk back to your master like that." he said in a calm but firm tone. Xerxes rolled his eyes. He sounded condescending to him. "I'm merely pointing out the advantages to the other route that you so callously are disregarding..." he stated. Leon shrugged. "Water route's easy for you... I thought you wanted to get stronger, not coast off the abilities you naturally have..." he said with a bit more of a teasing quality to his tone this time. It was getting under Xerxes' skin. Mainly because Leon was technically right. Xerxes packed the map back in his small knapsack and let out an annoyed groan. "Fine, we'll go your way..." he grumbled. Leon didn't budge. "Such a tone... Is there something bothering you, my pet?" he asked. The Greninja took a deep breath before glancing Leon in the eye calmly. "Nothing, master... Only that I believe you simply wish to avoid the river due to your own fear of water... But I completely understand." he said. Leon listened to this and couldn't help laughing at him. "Really? You think I'm afraid of a little water? If that were true, then why would I ever take a long journey with a frog whose main attack is throwing stars MADE out of water?" he said, walking past Xerxes and slapping him on the back along the way, chuckling to himself. He was headed for the scenic path, the river route was out of the question now. Xerxes wasn't satisfied with his rebuttal, but getting laughed at like that wasn't fun, so it didn't feel worth pressing the matter further. He started to follow along, and he soon heard Leon's voice add a bit more to the argument. "Anyway, the longer the trip takes, the more opportunity we'll have to train you up. Might be more likely to run into grass-type Pokemon down this path, too. Low level, sure, but the type disadvantage on you should help even that out..." He seemed to be trying too hard to sell this, in Xerxes' mind. All they needed to do to train was to stop and spar, what did he mean with "opportunities" and wild Pokemon... He was starting to sound like a trainer. At any rate, they pressed onward, the forest winding to the edges of a mountain range as they went. Rather than weak grass Pokemon, they came across strong rock Pokemon here and there. Golems and Rhydons, easily felled by Xerxes' Water Shurikens if they happened to get combative with them. This wasn't great experience, the Greninja was used to defeating Pokemon he had an advantage against. "Well, just think, if it were Alolan Golem, you'd be dealing with electric attacks." Leon chuckled when Xerxes let out a bored sigh. "Maybe we should take a trip to Alola, then." Xerxes retorted. Leon rubbed his chin as though thinking it over. "Hmmm, long boat trip... I'll pass." he grumbled. "You ARE scared of the water!" Xerxes insisted. Leon shrugged. "As a fire-type, I have a healthy concern with being surrounded on all sides by ocean on a construct my flames could easily destroy. Yeah, crazy, I know." he said with a hint of sarcasm. They kept moving, but Xerxes couldn't help feeling increasingly more frustrated. His training wasn't making progress... As they continued onward, the forest started to look more like a swamp. Pools of water lined the path here and there, and one couldn't be sure if it were lily pads or Lotads floating along the surface of that water. Still, unlike the river route, there was still plenty of solid ground to walk on. Leon glanced back as Xerxes followed behind him. "Well, there's your precious water. Feel at home, pet?" he asked. The Greninja looked at his own reflection in the water for a moment before looking back at Leon. "Hm, pet? Riiight... Let me ask you something, Leon. Is there any part of you that thinks of me as your pupil, or do you only see a pet?" he wondered. Leon glanced back at him with a snarky smirk. "Well, that's a silly question, pet." he teased. Though he was teasing, it seemed to give Xerxes his answer. "So, that's it, then, is it? You're not too concerned about training me because as long as you can still defeat me in battle, I will remain your pet?" he said, voice rising. Leon tilted his head. "Your goal is to beat me? Guess you always will be my pet, then." he grinned. Xerxes caught himself blushing slightly at this tease, and he looked away to hide it. "My goal is to at least be your equal, and yes, as equals, I would win on occasion..." he said. "No, we'd tie." Leon corrected, "But it doesn't matter. I'm not the one slacking. Face it, you are." he stated. Xerxes' eyes widened at the accusation. "I-I would never!" he protested, to which Leon smirked. "Oh, you are... I think, because in reality, you enjoy being my pet... and all the perks that come with that..." he said in a flirty tone, his eyes trailing down the frog's slim body. Xerxes opened his mouth to deny it, but his voice was drowned out by a thunder crash. Rain drops then started to fall around them, and Leon groaned. "I think I saw caves going into the mountain... Let's find one and set up camp for now..." the Quilava said, heading backward a bit. Xerxes sighed. The rain didn't bother him one bit, but now their progress was halted anyway. If they'd taken the river route, they'd already be in the city. Despite this, he followed the Quilava anyway. He had their limited supplies, and Leon would need him in order to set up any sort of camp. The thunder had set the stage for a rather lengthy downpour, and after setting a fire and having a bite of food from the knapsack, it started to get pretty boring waiting for the rain to pass. The cave they'd found was just barely big enough for them, too small for Xerxes to attept to spar with Leon. Besides, the Quilava didn't seem remotely interested in anything like work anyway. He lounged against the cave wall, not too far from the fire, and pretty soon had dozed off. When Xerxes heard his snoring, he shrugged and stepped out of the cave into the rain. A crash of thunder made him shiver. Getting struck would really not be pleasant for a water-type, not that there were big odds of that. Still, it gave him a bit of a thrill as he snuck out on his own. "If Leon thinks I'm slacking, I'll show him! While he's snoozing, I'll be getting stronger!" he thought, leaping up into the trees and hopping from branch to branch as he scouted the area, searching for a challenge. Finding a clearing in the swamp, he decided to drop down and simply practice a few attacks. He tried throwing water shurikens at specific tree branches for a while, and then practiced firing hydro pumps at the water just to see how big a splash he could make. He was being a bit noisy, and soon drew the attention of native Pokemon. He could hear their approach, and he leapt high into the air, flipping around so he could see what was coming up behind him. A Toxicroak was there, and it spit acid in his direction, which he was fortunate to avoid! A gang of Croagunk were circling around him, too. "...I take it this is your territory?" Xerxes asked. The poison frogs growled at him. "We don't appreciate outsiders tearing up our swamp..." Toxicroak grunted, "...We'll just have to make an example of ya!" As he said that, the Croakunks' hands glowed purple as they prepared poison jab attacks. Xerxes got into a defensive stance, glancing around at the hostile Pokemon. He was quite outnumbered. Well, he wanted training. "I'm not doing anything incredibly destructive... But you're not going to listen to reason, are you?" he smirked. Toxicroak quickly spat a sludge bomb towards Xerxes, which he countered by tossing a water shuriken at it! The poison splattered around the area, and Xerxes backed up to avoid touching it. Before he knew it, the Croagunks were closing in on him and launching their fists his way, forcing him to twist and weave to dodge quickly... But unfortunately, there were too many of them... Leon happened to wake up during Xerxes' absence. "Hmm... Looks like my pet has wandered off without waking me... No note or anything. Tsk, someone's going to need some discipline..." he said to himself with a light chuckle. Honestly, he kinda expected the water Pokemon to run off in the rain. He couldn't help wondering how far the Greninja had roamed or what he'd gotten up to, though. So, he used one of his own personal special abilities to answer that. His father happened to be a Lucario, and Leon had inherited the ability to sense aura as a result. So, he used those senses to search for Xerxes' particular aura. He could scarcely sense it, he was about at the edge of the maximum distance the Quilava could sense from where he was. He wondered if that was purposeful so he could find him, or if Xerxes had miscalculated the minimum distance to avoid detection. Something seemed off about Xerxes' aura, though. Leon could sense he was in pain. He concentrated. There were other aura sources surrounding Xerxes, clearly none too friendly. Leon glanced out at the rain and groaned. "Not gonna stop, is it? ...Well, no time to waste..." he sighed. Xerxes staggered on his feet, the poison affecting him as he tried to focus on his attacks. Toxicroak was approaching with a sadistic smirk. "Trainers all love the ninja frog Pokemon. Well, you're not looking so badass now, are ya!? Time to finish this!" he sneered. "Yeah, I agree. This battle's over!" Leon's voice caught the Croagunks' attention, and powerful flame attacks caught them off guard, sending the cowards running in fear! In spite of the rain, Leon's attacks were still fairly potent. The Toxicroak watched his minions run in disgust, and turned his attention to Leon. "This don't concern you, fire-spitter! Get off out territ--oof!!" Toxicroak was smacked in the face several times by Leon's swift attack before he could finish speaking. "Sorry, but this does concern me... You see, I own this ninja-frog's ass, and you're pumping it full of poison! Plus...you made me go out in the rain, dammit!" he said, rushing toward Toxicroak and going into a flame wheel attack, which knocked the poison croaker hard into a tree, smashing through the trunk! Toxicroak groaned as he collapsed on the other side of the downed tree, and Xerxes had collapsed as well due to the poison. "...Shit, I gotta carry you, too..." Leon sighed. He reached into the knapsack that he brought along from the camp and pulled out a Pecha berry, as well as a Sitrus berry. "Here, you better take this..." Leon said, lifting the Greninja's head and helping him to get the medicinal berries down. He'd still have to carry him back to camp, it'd take a bit for the berries to take effect... Xerxes opened his eyes to find himself back in the cave. He was laid at the back of the cave with a blanket over him, while Leon sat at the entrance, keeping watch for any stray Pokemon that might wander into the cave for shelter during the night. Sitting up, Xerxes groaned and rubbed his head. "So, you went out into the storm to bring me back safely? ...I suppose I'm grateful..." he sighed. Leon chuckled softly. "Can't let wild Pokemon make my pet into their bitch." he teased. Xerxes tossed aside the blanket and stood up, stretching. "Then you should rethink my training regimen. With the rain powering my water attacks, I should have had the advantage..." he complained. The Quilava glanced back at him and sighed. "No, they had the Dry Skin ability. Water only made them stronger, while fire bothered them." he stated, rising to his feet as well, looking to see if the Greninja was standing on his own without wobbling. It seemed the berries had been effective. Xerxes looked down on Leon, being that he was a bit taller, and scoffed. "Maybe you're just making me soft... I probably would have noticed a thing like that before I became your pupil..." he grumbled. Leon crossed his arms. "Really? Soft? I think I tend to get you pretty hard..." he grinned. Xerxes walked right into that one, and he felt a light blush come to his cheeks. "Cut it out! I'm serious!" he stammered. "So am I..." Leon said, stepping towards Xerxes and forcing him to take a step back in the cramped cave, edging the Greninja towards the wall. "You know, Xerxes, maybe you're right... You do need to be better trained. I mean, what sort of pet runs off while his master is sleeping and gets himself all beaten up? That's a big no-no... We've got to get you back under control so that this sort of thing doesn't happen again..." he stated, his tone becoming stern but playful. "Th-that's not what I..." Xerxes babbled, only to feel a familiar collar form around his neck; Aura wasn't the only unusual power Leon posessed, as he could construct solid objects out of flames, like Xerxes' collar. The Quilava was also holding a leash, which he tugged to pull Xerxes to him, causing the frog to stumbled a bit so he was down on one knee, head lower than his master. "C'mon, pet... Heel!" Leon said with a smirk, lifting his paw to Xerxes' face. The Greninja gulped and blushed deeply. He looked like part of him wanted to continue to argue, but another part shivered in anticipation of what he knew was coming... Flames spouted behind Leon and solidified to form a comfy chair for him to sit in and lift his paws up. "I haven't trained you so poorly that you don't know what to do, right? C'mere, pet, thank master for saving your ass." he said with a wide smirk. Xerxes knew what he wanted, and understood that he did technically owe him one, but this always felt a bit humiliating. The Greninja reluctantly lowered himself to both knees, groaning as Leon rubbed his foot paws into his face. "Slow it down, I'm getting over a poisoning!" Xerxes stammered, a little muffled. Leon tapped a toe on Xerxes' pointy Greninja nose. "I know you're not implying that master's paws are like poison... Because I've seen you do this before...so eagerly." he snickered. Well, perhaps that was true... Xerxes shivered, his long tongue slipping out of his mouth. Greninja tended to wear their tongues like scarves, but with Leon's tendency to collar him, Xerxes had learned to often keep his tongue stowed in his mouth. Now, the long, wet appendage started by giving each of those soles a slow lick, gently pushing them back from his face. Leon let out a soft sight, but was quick to press one of those paws back into the frog's forehead, keeping his pet pinned in his place. Xerxes nuzzled against that paw, and wrapped the other one in his long, powerful tongue, letting his wet "scarf" coil around his master's foot and caress it gently. Leon let out a soft moan as he felt the tip of that tongue tease between his toes. "Good pet... Mmm, this is a much better use of that tongue... Rather than all that complaining." the Quilava teased. Xerxes looked up, and could see Leon's tip start to poke from his sheath. It wasn't going to end here. He gasped as he felt Leon grind his neglected paw over his face. "Don't forget this guy..." he purred. Xerxes untangled the first foot and slowly wrapped the other in his tongue, taking that first foot in his webbed hands and giving it a gentle rub. He drew his master's big toe into his mouth while his tongue wrapped around that foot, giving the toe a light sucking. Leon leaned back in his chair and purred, enjoying himself. He loved making a taller, powerful Pokemon with a supposed advantage over him just utterly submit to him. His cock was rising rapidly from his sheath as he made Xerxes worship his paws, and he enjoyed it even more knowing that Xerxes' twin cocks were poking out of his own slit, the pet getting quite turned on by the master. Leon watched as Xerxes eagerly licked and kissed his paws for a few moments more, the frog clearly getting into this, likely excited by the prospect of what would come next, too. He chuckled in his mind. For all Xerxes' complaining, he loved being Leon's bitch, it seemed. "All right, pet... Since you've been so good, I think you can taste master's spicy meat now..." Leon said with a grin, lowering his feet and tugging on the leash to draw Xerxes closer to his crotch. The frog licked his lips, but hesitated. "Before I go further, I want you to promise you'll be more diligent with my training, master." he said, eyes drifting away from Leon's cock as though trying to resist. Leon patted his head. "I already am, pet... It's the whole reason for this trip." he smirked, drawing the Greninja's confused gaze. "Ya see, the destination doesn't matter. We needed a road trip for the whole bonding thing... So I could train you to be a better pet..." Leon grinned, tugging harder on the leash to draw Xerxes' face right into his crotch! The Greninja gasped, smelling Leon's spicy musk, feeling his half-mast cock against his face. It was driving him nuts. He felt he should push back and protest. He joined up with Leon to get stronger, not to be used like this. Yet, for some reason, he found himself taking Leon's shaft into his mouth, his long tongue twisting around his master's length as he bobbed his head up and down. It was true. Leon had him trained, as much as it frustrated him to realize it. "Ahhh, that's it... So eager now, hmm?" Leon's voice snapped him out of his trance, and he pulled back a bit, gasping. "Wh-what about my battle training?" he huffed. Leon rubbed behind one of the spiky sort of "ear-like" protrusions on the Greninja's head. "Why don't you start by practicing endurance here, hmmm?" Leon smirked. Xerxes shivered and sent his tongue back down to wrap around Leon's shaft, rubbing and slurping against it, making it grow as he teased his master's sensitive spots. This was the first time he could recall Leon equate this to battle training, and it was almost enough to let his lust completely take over from his logic. He moved down and gave Leon's balls a slurp with that tongue, looking up at him with a grin. "It'd be more strength-training if I pounded your ass..." he grinned. Leon responded by slapping his face with his hardened dick. "Bad pet. I'm the master, here... Do you want to stop altogether now?" he asked, relaxing his grip on the leash and leaning back in the chair. Xerxes gulped. His cocks were so hard now. Stopping wasn't an option. Leon could tell by his expression. "Say it, pet..." he smirked. Xerxes sighed, looking at Leon with need. "I-I'm sorry, master. Please, I... I need it..." he said. "Need what? C'mon, now..." Leon grinned. Xerxes looked at the ground and inhaled sharply. "I need...your cock...master!" he managed to say. Leon was quick to pin the Greninja down on the ground, looking him right in the eyes and giving a lustful growl. To think, Xerxes considered himself more or less straight at one point. It seemed Leon had his pet well trained after all. Xerxes looked back up with a very submissive expession, his eyes full of need. Leon reached down for his legs, finding them already open to accomodate him. He smirked as he lightly lifted the frog by his thighs, prodding his ass with his cock. "I don't think I've seen you this eager before, pet... Don't tell me my fur being a little wet gets ya off." Leon teased. He was actually quick to dry himself by the fire when he got back, so that was unlikely. Xerxes looked away in embarrasment. "I... I'm merely expressing my gratitude for your help earlier..." he murmured. "Hmmm? I can barely hear you." Leon snickered as he pushed in his cock, coaxing a light gasp out of the frog Pokemon. He could feel Xerxes' tight ass squeeze him, and he reacted by gripping one of his pet's twin cocks in his hand and giving it a similar squeeze. "So shy all of a sudden, heh..." Leon noted, seeing that Xerxes was doing his best to hide his face, and the blushing, subby expression he was obviously sporting. That wouldn't last long, Leon thought. He began to thrust into his pet, his length driving deep into the water Pokemon's tight rear. It used to take more effort to loosen him up, but Xerxes was getting used to subbing for his master...and perhaps his ass was starting to grow accustomed to that cock a bit. Still, it didn't make it feel any less intense, especially when Leon started to heat himself up. The gasps from the submissive Pokemon below grew louder as Leon's dick warmed up inside that tight ass. "Aaaahh, d-damn it, master...!" Xerxes gasped, moving his head back and forth, closing his eyes to avoid showing the embarrasing lust that would be found in his gaze. Leon smirked, giving a deep thrust which was accompanied by a good slap from his balls as he leaned in close, his face getting in his pet's face. "What? Is my pet feeling discomfort?" he cooed softly. Xerxes was forced to look at Leon, his face turning bright red to see how close he was. "I know how you hate getting wet... But I'll cum all over you in this position..." he babbled. Leon pressed his nose to Xerxes'. "Good pet... Very thoughtful... Go ahead and mess me up." he murred, kissing the frog deeply as he resumed pounding his ass hard and fast, with all his might! Xerxes moaned into the kiss, no longer resisting the urge to show his pleasure, his submission. He felt Leon grab and squeeze his cocks again, rubbing them in his hand. He couldn't hold on. As the kiss broke, he gasped and sprayed a messy load all over their chests, making Leon shudder. "I didn't say that much, pet..." he huffed, slapping the Greninja's ass. With a few more rough thrusts, Leon moaned out lustfully and shot his own hot load, pumping Xerxes full of his seed while the frog leaned back and gasped in satisfaction...despite all his complaining, he did love this part of their relationship, ultimately. There was a bit of rest, followed by a bit of cleanup. Leon had two options; clean off the cum in the rain or with a Hydro Pump from Xerxes. He groaned as he stood in the rain. "Doggystyle next time..." he sighed, "Also, when do you think this storm will stop?" he asked as Xerxes washed off nearby. "How should I know? Just because I'm water type doesn't mean I can sense the weather..." he muttered. Leon stepped back into the cave and chuckled. "Not getting grouchy again, are ya?" he asked. Xerxes shrugged. "No... Honestly, if I think about it, I can't say I'm not any stronger than I was when I started training with you... I suppose patience is a part of training, too." he stated. "Of course it is. And you'll get your battle training, pet. I can't have you getting killed the next time we're apart, now can I?" Leon chuckled, reforming his flame chair and sitting by the fire, "Besides... finishing your training won't mean a thing when it comes to our relationship. You're not gonna stop calling me master..." he smirked. Xerxes glanced into the cave to see Leon lounging back and not really paying attention to him. The Greninja chuckled to himself softly. "I guess we'll see..." he murmured. Their journeys would continue, but wherever it took them, Leon was sure of one thing. Xerxes was his pet, now and forever... The end.
