Will the two's competitive nature get the better of them again? More than likely! ", "writing": "[center][b]Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The Kane Chronicles\n\n“Is a Good Defense Really The Best Offense?”[/b][/center]\n\n\tLife at the Lotus Dojo was often quite peaceful. In between standard classes, meals, and sleeping, Ms Hatterene allowed a generous portion of – what [i]she[/i] liked to call – meditation time. Any activity or hobby that offered some form of 'spiritual or mental enrichment' to her pupils were allowed to pass the time. As Kane once figured out, however, there was only so far that rule could stretch, so [i]many[/i] exceptions were made, in his case. \n\n\tOtherwise, on more than one occasion, a peaceful life often meant a [i]boring[/i] one. \n\n\tFortunately, the matron of the dojo was kind enough to recently buy a pack of traditional Hanafuda cards on her previous grocery run. All of the other, younger pupils didn't seem to much care, nor understand, the game of Koi-Koi, despite their interest in the cards' designs. As for the two older pupils, Kane and Giacomo, it didn't take them long to become hooked on the deceptively simple game.\n\n\tCurrently, the two psychic-types were engaged in another match, taking place in the flowery backyard of the Lotus Dojo. While both boys were comfortable sitting cross-legged in the grass, they knew it wouldn't be easy to play cards on such terrain. They remedied this by pulling a long, flat stone from the forest and setting it up to act as a table. They were also given a small, yet lengthy rug from the Pokéwoman to help “keep the game classy,” as Ms Hatterene put it. Kane didn't much care for trying to make a serious, thinking man's game 'cutesy', but it came in handy regardless. \n\n\tThe two psychic-types had just started on their 12th (and final) round. The two boys were intelligent enough to keep score without external assistance, so their focus was entirely on their hands and playing area. With a very small difference in score between Kane and Giacomo, the outcome of the game would come down to this round. From the determined, frustrated expression on the Kirlia's face, it was clear he was wanting to break a recent losing streak he had developed. His opponent, Giacomo, looked equally determined, yet attempted to keep a neutral 'poker-face'. \n\n\tAfter a few seconds of studying their starter hand, the two duo began to match specific flower cards in quick succession. Kane's face began to grow more determined as the game continued. He also took the liberty of breaking silence, collecting another set. “Thank [i]you[/i],” He said, unable to hold back a small grin. \n\n\tGiacomo tutted his tongue as he placed down another card, unable to match anything. “Cheeky...” He muttered, watching as Kane collected another set. He was sitting up a bit more straight, feeling the pressure of a potential loss mounting on him. \n\n\t“Hey, ya snooze, ya lose,” The Kirlia remarked, studying over his scored cards. With two “light” cards collected, he only needed one more to finish up the round and win the match. \n\n\t“Well [i]snooze[/i] this, loser,” The Ponyta snarked, collecting the saké cup card. This action made Kane jolt a bit, momentarily indignant. \n\n\t“[i]No![/i] It's alright, I don't need it anyway.” His tone quickly shifted to a calmer one, acting as if he didn't care. \n\n\tFrom afar and above, Ms Hatterene was spying on the two boys from the highest floor of the dojo. Being a highly empathetic and emotional Pokémorph, she couldn't help but feel somewhat drawn to the competitive nature that came from playing games. [i]Especially[/i] if those two were playing. If anything, she was just as invested in the game as Kane and Giacomo were. \n\n\tIt would only take a few more seconds before the match finally reached its conclusion. Despite Kane managing to close out the round with five scrolls, he knew he would only be able to win if he collected the three lights. Because of this fact, he called 'koi-koi' to continue the round until the next scoring set. \n\n\tUnfortunately for the Kirlia, he had inadvertently left an opening for Giacomo to collect the 'deer' card, scoring with the 'Boar-Deer-Butterfly' set. Because of this, his sudden influx of points caused him to beat Kane. Again. \n\n\tNaturally, this caused an upset within the psychic-type. “[i]No way![/i] How is that even possible?!” He yelled out, his face reddening with indignant anger. The Ponyta, on the other hand, looked quite pleased with himself. A sight that Kane (and by extension, Ms Hatterene) had seen [i]too[/i] many times. \n\n\t“[i]Oooh[/i], sorry, man! Got [i]too[/i] lucky for ya!” Giacomo responded. \n\n\t“You [i]ripped[/i] that win away from me!” \n\n\t“I ripped it [i]clean[/i] off!” He laughed, amused with Kane's reaction. \n\n\t“You only won 'cuz you had that saké cup.” The Kirlia shot back, crossing his arms with a huff. \n\n\t“Yeah 'cuz [i]you've[/i] been hogging it all [i]game![/i]”\n\n\t“It was my only chance!” \n\n\t“Well now that chance is [i]gone![/i]” \n\n\tGiacomo boasted as Kane groused, with the unseen Hatterene laughing fondly at the sight. “Aw, poor Kane! He forgets that luck can quickly turn against him,” She mused to herself, watching as the two boys continued to argue. From underneath her furry coat, she scratched at her chin. Her nerves were starting to tighten up, somewhat, sensing the growing intentions between her two pupils. This concerned her somewhat. It didn't' help that she would soon feel a [i]third[/i] presence coming close. \n\n\tBefore the sliding door even opened, Ms Hatterene had already turned towards it, watching as a silhouette formed behind the paper walls. She felt her nerves soften up once more, quickly recognizing it as her partner, Mr. Mime. She had no need to be so wound up around him. Sure enough, when the door opened, he revealed himself, flashing a curious smile in her direction. \n\n\t“Ah there you are, honey! Been looking for you.” He greeted, furrowing his brow somewhat. He wasn't really sure [i]what[/i] she was doing. “Ah, I hope I'm not interrupting something..?” \n\n\t“Oh, hello dear,” Ms Hatterene responded, bowing slightly. “I was just checking on two of our... students.” She glanced toward the window once more, her expression quickly becoming noticeably worried. Kane and Giacomo were still arguing. They were close to each other, looking ready to fight with each other. Both boys were restraining themselves, as if waiting for the other to swing first.\n\n\tBy this point, Mr. Mime had joined her side, looking out of the window as well. Once he took notice of the situation at hand, he let out a sigh. “Oh, dear, they're at it again, huh..?” \n\n\t“Unfortunately so...” Ms Hatterene tutted, watching as the young Espurr, Saffron, ran outside. Once he was close enough to see the two psychic-types argue, he froze in place. He watched the sight for a few seconds before quickly turning around and running in the other direction. It looked as if he was yelling something. Neither of the two dojo masters could hear him over the older Pokémorphs, however. “I was hoping that giving them a game would help channel their hostility into friendly competition! It works at first, but then things just... get out of hand.” \n\n\t“Maybe it's just because they're boys,” Mr. Mime said, thinking aloud. He was rubbing his chin as he watched. “Well, [i]older[/i] boys, at least. They've been training for so long, that they're... antsy! I think, anyways.” \n\n\t“That would make sense.” Ms Hatterene nodded, unfortunately coming to the same conclusion. As much as she detested teaching anything violent, it was about time for them to start taking battling seriously. [i]Especially[/i] if they were to one day traverse Mystery Dungeons. She just needed to make sure they didn't kill each other, first. “Honey, go separate them and bring them inside. I believe it is time for them to learn how to [i]properly[/i] harness their overactive energy.” \n\n\tMr. Mime was curious about her line of reasoning, though wouldn't need much time before he realized what she was insinuating. He raised his eyebrows for a second as a knowing expression started to form over his face. “Oh good. I'll let the Guardians know so that they know to build us a new Dojo afterwards.” Ms Hatterene scowled at him, though her partner didn't seem put-off or frightened by it. How could he be when she was unable to hide the amused grin on her face?\n\n_________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\tOnce Mr. Mime managed to pry Kane and Giacomo away from each other, he brought them back inside of the dojo, leading them to a large, matted room. Everyone knew it as the 'meditation room'. A variety of scrolls and charms decorated the walls, adding a 'mystic' charm to the entire space. While natural lighting from nearby windows helped with visibility, much of the lighting came from paper lanterns that hung in each corner of the room. On any other day, the meditation room would've been used for all of the residents to have group meditation sessions. Right now, however, Ms Hatterene had a different agenda in mind. \n\n\tCurrently, she was standing before the two oldest pupils of the Dojo, with Mr. Mime standing at her side. The Kirlia an Ponyta were still and patient, knowing it was wise to respect the Hatterene's authority. Neither one of them wanted to bring up the fact that they had just been fighting over a card game. Even if she [i]did[/i] already knew about it. They didn't need to wait long before she started speaking to them. \n\n\t“Good afternoon, boys. Today, you two will be part of a special lesson. Something that I think will be utterly necessary for you two to grow as pupils of the Lotus Dojo.” Ms Hatterene paused a moment, giving a quick, thoughtful glance between the psychic-types. “...for better or for worse.” Kane and Giacomo shared a somewhat confused expression between each other before looking forward again. \n\n\t“It's a rough, scary world out there, boys,” Mr. Mime continued, nodding sagely to himself. “We're all lucky enough that Tapu Lele, as well as the rest of the forest Guardians, keep a vigilant eye on us. Unfortunately, sometimes that isn't enough. As much as we don't wish for it to happen, one of these days, you might meet a particularly dangerous Pokémon. Heck, maybe a whole [i]group[/i] of them! Now, despite the fact that the Lotus Dojo stands for [i]peace-[/i]” \n\n\t“Are we gonna learn to [i]fight?[/i]” Kane blurted out, looking marginally more excited for the potential lesson. The interruption didn't amuse Mr. Mime, who paused and stumbled over his syllables for a second. \n\n\t“Wh- buh-uh, [i]technically[/i], but-”\n\n\t“Oh, I'm so ready!” The Kirlia continued, eager at the thought of showing off. As well as beating Giacomo. Currently, the Ponyta was rolling his eyes, appearing neutral at the thought entirely. \n\n\t“You couldn't even land a '[b]Psybeam[/b]', shrimp,” Giacomo said, earning another ugly gaze from the shorter pupil. \n\n\t“Well, we'll be learning something [i]different[/i] from that,” Mr. Mime quickly cut in, hoping to be proactive on stopping any arguments. “Let's not get all eager to hurt each other, alright?” Both boys remained quiet for the time being. Mr. Mime was thankful they at least appeared to be interested in learning, this time around. \n\n\t“Offensive abilities can be extremely powerful, but extremely draining. Not to mention destructive,” Ms Hatterene said, keeping an even, cool tone. “Shields and protective fields can take a bit of energy as well, but they are also easier to stay focused on, and will help you stay in the fight.” \n\n\t“They say the best offense is a good [i]defense[/i], after all,” Mr. Mime added sagely. Kane's excitement decreased almost immediately, furrowing his brow somewhat. That was a phrase that he always found stupid. If you're just standing around doing nothing but take punches, then how is that better than actually attacking? \n\n\t“Really? Shielding?” Kane replied, his tone much unamused. “Couldn't we do something, [i]I dunno[/i], more exciting?” The Hatterene woman's eyebrows raised, almost surprised by his answer. \n\n\t“If you wish to go into mystery dungeons, Kane, you would be wise to learn both ends of the proverbial stick,” She answered, pointing in his direction. “The longer you can stay on your feet, the more likely you are to succeed.” \n\n\t“Surprisingly, Kane, using your fists for every problem doesn't always work,” Giacomo started up, still looking nonplussed. “Using your brain works wonders. I'd suggest trying it.” \n\n\t“Well, lucky for you, that's what I plan on doing!” The Kirlia cut in, huffing somewhat. He was fired up once more, not wanting his rival to think that he wasn't capable. “I don't need luck to rely on [i]my[/i] skills.” Hearing this Giacomo, scoffed, smirking a little to himself. \n\n\t\"Still bitter bout that loss, huh?” Kane said nothing, though the way his cheeks flushed telegraphed that the answer was 'yes'. \n\n\t“[i]This is going to be a long lesson...[/i]” Mr. Mime thought to himself as Ms Hatterene raised a hand up. \n\n\t“We will demonstrate the basics for you, so that you may follow along and get used to these moves. Shall we then, dear?” She stated, turning her head to Mr. Mime.\n\n\t“But of course, honey,” He answered, stepping away from Kane and Giacomo with her. The two pupils stayed in place, watching as Ms Hatterene and Mr. Mime stood a distance away from each other. With that, the lesson would begin. \n\n\tFor a few moments, Ms Hatterene instructed tips on how to hone mental telekinesis into creating a force field while flinging low-level '[b]Psybeams[/b]' at Mr. Mime. Both of his hands were held up in front of him as he summoned '[b]Light Screen[/b]'. While it was rather obvious that the Hatterene woman was holding back when it came to inflicting damage, the Mr. Mime was doing an exceptional job completely negating all damage coming his way. He wasn't even breaking a sweat. Kane couldn't help but feel at least a [i]little[/i] fascinated. \n\n\t“[i]If I could do that, nothing would stop me, I'll bet...[/i]” He thought to himself. “[i]There may be use in learning these techniques after all![/i]” \n\n\tThe next demonstration consisted of the attacking and defending roles swapping. Mr. Mime would begin lunging at his tall partner, using the move '[b]Double Slap[/b]'. To defend against these attacks, the Hatterene woman's appendage-like hair waved around, similar to the motions of a hypnotizing metronome. This was her way of summoning another force field. It didn't take long for the two students to take notice of how well it held up against physical attacks. Kane just figured that Mr. Mime wasn't as strong or athletic to break through. \n\n\t“Remember that [b]Reflect[/b] can be more difficult than Light Screen. If you're in a physical altercation, it takes a lot of discipline to keep your force field active. Stay vigilant and do not let your opponent overwhelm you.” \n\n\t“[i]Easy for [b]her[/b] to say...[/i]” Kane thought to himself, smiling a bit. He seemed a lot more confident in his ability to use defensive shields. Even if he hadn't done it before, he figured it wouldn't take a whole lot to be good at it. If he can master this, then that means he'll have more time to work on his [i]physical[/i] strength!\n\n\tOnce the two teachers were finished with their demonstration, they allowed the Ponyta and Kirlia to take their spots. Kane wouldn't waste time before he started stretching in place, ready to show off his abilities. Giacomo would stretch as well, though not as much as his over-eager opponent. As they prepared, Mr. Mime relayed how the rules would go.\n\n\t“Alright, so you guys will take turns attacking the other – “ \n\n\t“With [i]minimal[/i] injuries, if you please!” Ms Hatterene warned, looking between the two younger psychic-types. \n\n\t“ – and focus your energy into the proper force field needed. It may take some time to perfect, but it shouldn't be [i]too[/i] hard to understand!” \n\n\t“Giacomo, you shall defend first,” The Hatterene stated. “Kane, you try and fight [i]through[/i] his defense.” \n\n\t“Can do, Miss!” Kane laughed. Currently, he was rotating his shoulder while flashing a smarmy smile to his opponent, who responded by snorting in bemused disbelief. “This'll be the easiest lesson yet!” Mr. Mime looked concerned, although Ms Hatterene merely gave a small nod, hiding the tiniest of smiles on her face. \n\n\t“Whenever you are ready, then,” She replied. In her opinion, it was a good change to see Kane become more involved in lessons. Her heart began to race a little bit as she sensed his competitiveness and eagerness to fight. As was part of her nature. \n\n\tThe Kirlia didn't need to be told twice before he darted at the Ponyta. It wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Kane opted to go for a physical attack. In all fairness to him, however, he was incredibly fast. What's more, he was strafing around in a rapid, disorienting way. Giacomo had only the slightest bit of trouble keeping his eyes on Kane. \n\n\tNevertheless, Kane had little issue moving closer. Giacomo barely had time to react as Kane began to strike, kicking his left leg in his direction. Thanks to a quick reaction time, the Ponyta managed to initiate the '[b]Reflect[/b]' move. \n\n\tGiacomo's timing was nothing less than perfect, as Kane's foot collided half of a second afterwards. The Ponyta felt no pain, however, while the Kirlia's leg bounced off of an invisible force. It was as if he had kicked an enormous ball or balloon. Despite the parry, the petite attacker recovered his stance rather effortlessly. The defending Pokémorph couldn't help but grunt in mild annoyance. \n\n\t“[i]Quit dancing around like a ballerina, dammit! Take this seriously![/i]” He thought to himself, glaring at his opponent. Giacomo didn't know why the Kirlia always made him so frustrated. His adrenaline couldn't help but spike somewhat each time he saw him. Did it have something to do with his ego? Or was it the fact that he always had something to say with that loud mouth of his? Not to mention the fact that he prances around like a fairy and [i]still[/i] deludes himself into thinking he's somehow manlier. On some subconscious level, Giacomo felt as if he needed to prove him wrong. \n\n\tBefore Kane could attempt to attack again – as evidenced by the fact that he was lifting his leg up to strike once more – a familiar voice called to the duo. “[i]Very[/i] nice defense, Giacomo!” Mr. Mime hollered across the room. “You caught him at [i]just[/i] the right time!” \n\n\t“Just make sure you keep your eyes on your opponent, hm?” Ms Hatterene added with a coy smile. \n\n\t“[i]Grr...[/i] y-yes, Ms Hatterene,” The Ponyta called, watching as Kane hurried back over to his side. He was quite pleased with himself, posing and stretching casually. \n\n\t“Yeah, not a bad attempt!” Kane called back, shrugging nonchalantly. “Doubt it'd last longer than one hit, though.” The Ponyta huffed, readying an offensive stance of his own. It was obvious from the annoyed scowl that he was starting to reach his tipping point. At this point, Giacomo began to rush directly at Kane, attempting his [i]own[/i] physical attack. \n\n\t“Alright, wise guy! Let's see how [i]you[/i] hold up!” \n\n\t“[i]Oh shit..![/i]” Kane thought to himself, watching as the taller male barreled right at him. At first, the Kirlia focused his energy into a '[b]Reflect[/b]'. He didn't struggle that much with holding the shield, though the glow of his 'horns' flickered softly, showing that it was taking up a [i]lot[/i] of energy for him. \n\n\tFrom afar, the two older Pokémorphs watched, surprised with the sudden development. “Do you think he'll be able to hold it?” Mr. Mime asked his partner, slightly worried. \n\n\t“He is using a [i]lot[/i] of power. Very strong short-term, but I do not think Kane has the endurance to sustain it for much longer,” Ms Hatterene replied, her wide eyes watching with diligence. Even without looking, she could tell that the energy was making all of the decorations and lanterns shake around. If she had to guess, the whole [i]Dojo[/i] might've been rumbling under the aura. Ms Hatterene hoped the little ones weren't frightened by it. \n\n\tWhile Kane was certainly exerting a lot of force, he felt confident that he would be able to defend against anything Giacomo had to throw at him. Because the Ponyta wasn't attempting to evade from his vision, Kane didn't have any issue keeping an eye on him. He only grew concerned the moment he jumped upwards, rearing a palm backwards. \n\n\tIt was then that Kane was able to notice a glow – faint at first, but illuminating exponentially brighter – forming in his hand. “[i]Oh crap, he's using '[b]Confusion[/b]'![/i]” He thought to himself, panicking somewhat. “[i]'[b]Reflect[/b]' isn't gonna do [b]anything![/b][/i]” \n\n\tKane knew that there was only one way to counter this, and that was by using '[b]Light Screen[/b]', and [i]now[/i]. Fortunately for himself, his reaction time caused him to [i]instantly[/i] switch force field types. In doing so, however, the Kirlia was forced to use up the remainder of his power in one second. The result was something unexpected. Unfortunately for Kane, this wasn't a good thing. \n\n\tThe intensity of the force field that the Kirlia created was powerful enough to emit a blinding light, which flashed for a brief second. Even the two teachers were affected by it, having to shield their eyes. The amount of energy eminating from him also caused the decorations to shake and flutter around even more violently. As for Giacomo, the power of Kane's '[b]Light Screen[/b]' was more than enough to negate the Ponyta's attempt at using his own attack. Not only that, but it also sent him flying across to the other side of the room. He tumbled onto the floor, rolling a good distance away. \n\n\tWhat happened to [i]Kane[/i], however, was [i]far[/i] more embarrassing than being knocked on his ass. \n\n\tSomehow, he was able to stay on his feet as he summoned the force field around him. As he blasted Giacomo away, though, Kane would [i]also[/i] destroy his clothing. In just a second, the boy's clothes – save for a small pair of white panties – were shredded into oblivion, exposing his petite, yet fit, body. \n\n\tKane didn't notice this right away, however, as he was too busy leaning against his knees while allowing '[b]Light Screen[/b]' to dissipate. “Did... is that how ya duh-do it?” He asked, panting heavily. While Kane was mostly speaking to himself, it wasn't difficult for his teachers to hear him. Of course, in doing so, they'd also notice his unfortunate state of undress. \n\n\tAs the dust settled, their eyes fell upon Kane's half-naked body. The two of them were shocked, albeit in different ways. Mr. Mime's face burned a bright pink, unable to peel his eyes away, although not due to a lack of trying. “O-oh goodness..!” He gasped out. \n\n\tThe normally stoic Hatterene woman was also incredibly surprised, staring blankly at her pupil unabashedly. For a few seconds, she'd try to keep a neutral expression. Her long, hair-like appendage quickly swooped over her mouth, being an obvious tell that she was hiding an [i]enormous[/i] smile. Even [i]she[/i] couldn't deny the immense amount of entertainment she got from what had just happened. “[i]Oh dear! Poor Kane! Aw, at least he still has his underwear. His teeny, tiny underwear... ehehe![/i]” She thought to herself. \n\n\tRight as the two teachers were reacting to Kane's situation, Giacomo was just now starting to come out of his daze, slowly lifting himself up with his arms, yet remained sitting. “Nnf, damn, man, what... happened?” He began, quickly derailing from whatever he was thinking about as his eyes fell upon his half naked house-mate. “[i]Woah..![/i]” \n\n\tAt this point, Kane [i]finally[/i] noticed his under-dressed state. As he heard the others gasp out, his eyes quickly noticed his exposed body. Looking around the immediate area, he wasn't able to see neither a single shred nor thread of clothing. While he may have reacted a few seconds too late, the boy finally attempted to cover his immodesty, yelping out with a higher tone in his voice. “[i]Aah![/i] M-my clothes!” \n\n\tDespite the fact that Kane was aware of the fact that [i]everyone[/i] was staring at him, he looked up to Giacomo first. The Ponyta was still sitting awkwardly on the ground, staring shamelessly at the sight. While he kept a surprised expression, he said nothing to the Kirlia, being way too distracted to come up with any sort of statement or insult. \n\n\tNeedless to say, Kane was far too embarrassed and paranoid to give him the benefit of the doubt. He didn't know [i]what[/i] he was thinking, but there was no way he was going to humiliate himself further. Even if he [i]was[/i] starting to squirm in place, still hiding his panty-covered crotch. The Kirlia started to laugh nervously, shivering somewhat as his face grew redder. “[i][b]I-I concede![/b][/i] P-please, these undies are all I've got [i]left![/i]” He whined, begging as if his life depended on it. In truth, he really [i]didn't[/i] have any clothes left on standby, and had no idea of what to do. \n\n\t“[i]Awww, oh nooo! Now he's gotta be nakey!~[/i]\" Ms Hatterene giggled in her head, still hiding her wide, almost unhinged smile. She was starting to get overly-antsy at the situation, although she couldn't help but feel empathy. Not that it got in the way of her personal amusement.\n\n\t“O-okay, lesson over!” Mr. Mime called, waving his hands as he fully averted his gaze. “[i]Oh dear[/i]... we can't leave him like this, honey!” He uttered to his wife. \n\n\t“[i]Why not?[/i]” Was her initial, reactionary thought. \n\n\tShe brushed that aside quickly, although she couldn't deny just how [i]adorable[/i] she found the sight of an embarrassed, nearly naked Kane. It was rather refreshing from his usual overly-high self-esteem. After a few seconds of saying nothing, the woman finally uncovered her mouth and replied to her partner. “I am aware,” She responded simply, musing over potential ideas. “It would be awfully immodest.” She looked over to the cowering Kirlia, who was still attempting to hide himself with his hands. “Kane, I have [i]something[/i] you can wear for the time being. Go wait in your room for me to bring it to you.” \n\t\n\t“Y-y-yes ma'am!” He yelped, bowing his head rapidly and shamefully, not wasting any time in rushing out of the room and up the stairs. He was gracious with the opportunity to hide his exposure and didn't try to linger long. Watching the Kirlia dash off desperately caused her to accidentally snort out a rather loud laugh. It was loud enough to make Mr. Mime now look at his partner. Giacomo did so as well, though returned his gaze back towards the door Kane exited from. \n\n\t“Sorry, sorry!” The Hatterene woman laughed out, clearing her throat as she attempted to soothe herself. “That is just, uh... not... not something you [i]see[/i] everyday..!” \n\n\t“You're not wrong,” Mr. Mime replied after a small pause, shaking his head somewhat. “Guess we gotta buy him a new outfit [i]again[/i].” \n\n\t“At least this time was an accident.” The Hatterene gently petted the other psychic-type on his shoulder, smiling softly, yet gleefully. “The tailors will not need to measure him this time around.” The Mr. Mime laughed gently at this, shrugging at this. \n\n\t“Ah, the silver lining... always love your optimism, dear.” \n\n\t“I know,” She responded coyly, leaning down to plant a kiss on his head. \n\n\t“Um,” Giacomo started up, finally finding his voice. “Does that mean we're done, or..?” He didn't wait for a response, as he was already headed towards the door. \n\n\t“Ah yes, we are,” The Hatterne answered, waving him off. It was almost as if he were suddenly intruding on a moment. “We will practice this more another time. Good job today.” \n\n\t“...right. Thanks,” Giacomo responded, not wasting another second before heading out. His head was still swimming with various thoughts, which kept popping up in the back of his brain. His face still felt flush with second-hand embarrassment, and his heart continued to pump away rapidly. Visions of Kane in nothing but his petite underwear played in his mind, although Giacomo didn't really know why.\n\n\tWell, we probably [i]knew[/i] why, but soon became heavily in denial about it. What he [i]couldn't[/i] deny, however, was the growing erection in his own pants. Unlike Kane, Giacomo wore simple boxer-briefs, so they held the Ponyta's growing hard-on comfortably. He knew that if his cock got any harder, however, it would soon be poking through his leg-hole. Many thoughts were going through the Ponyta's mind, and he didn't know what to think of it currently. \n\n\tAs he rushed towards his room, he lingered near the door of Kane's, which was across the hall. Glancing from the side of his eyes, Giacomo was able to see the silhouette of the Kirlia, who was pacing around. No doubt that he would soon be able to see the Ponyta.\n\n\tBefore he could allow himself to be accused of teasing or 'peeping' on Kane, Giacomo moved into his own room to wait around in. Before he could give in to his more '[i]primal[/i]' urges, the Pokémorph instead decided to sit on the floor, cross his legs, and began to meditate. \n\n\t“[i]Get your mind off of it, dammit,[/i]” He mused to himself, keeping a steady breathing technique. “[i]You can't let him know..![/i]” \n\n\tAs he meditated on this thought, he couldn't help but feel the sensation of his dick pulsing eagerly against his thigh. \n\n\t“[i]This is gonna take awhile,[/i]” He thought, furrowing his brow. \n\n________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\tWhile Giacomo attempted to meditate his erection away, Ms Hatterne was heading towards Kane's bedroom. She was delicately holding a small, pink, floral-print kimono, which she had gotten after spending a few minutes searching through her wardrobe. Knowing that the Kirlia was still hiding in his room, the tall Pokéwoman remained just outside the door with her back turned. Using her long, prehensile hair – which happened to be holding the kimono – to gently rap at the wood frame of the door, she'd alert her pupil of her presence. \n\n\t“I have contacted the tailors, and they will have more clothes ready for you by next week. Until then, I have brought you an old kimono of mine. I was just a little smaller than you when I was younger, but it should still fit just fine.” \n\n\tOn the other side of the door, the half-nude figure of Kane appeared, silhouetted in shadow. The boy opened the door, just enough to shimmy his arm and hand through. After retrieving it, he'd quickly pull his arm back in, closing the door once more. With the walls being paper-thin, however, he was still able to talk with the Dojo's master. While he was certainly grateful to have [i]some[/i] form of coverage, he did have reservations about his only option. \n\n\t“Did you [i]have[/i] to pick the one with flowers on it?” He criticized, holding up the kimono and observing it with a rueful squint. “Don't you have something, I dunno, more [i]fitting[/i] for a guy?” \n\n\t“Flowers are not concerned with gender, Kane,” Ms Hatterene hummed, looking over her shoulder somewhat. “Besides, I was not ever a 'guy', so no, I do not.” This made the Kirlia grumble to himself softly, feeling his face grow warmer once more. “If you would [i]rather[/i] remain in your... underpants, then feel free to just pass it back through.” \n\n\t“N-no, it'll do!” Kane responded quickly, pulling the kimono close to his body, as if it would be yanked from him suddenly. “I can't lose [i]all[/i] of my dignity.” \n\n\t“Happy to hear,” The woman hummed peacefully, starting to walk away. “Now[i]do[/i] put it on sometime today, please. We still have a whole day ahead of us, you know.” \n\n\t“Yes, Ms Hatterene,” he sighed, already starting to slide the silky piece on. It was quite comfy, although it hardly felt like he was wearing anything at all. The size of the kimono itself did fit his petite body, albeit only somewhat. Around the chest and waist, it was fine, and the sleeves just barely covered his arms. What Kane [i]didn't[/i] seem to appreciate was how the kimono seemed to be cut mid-thigh. “[i]Guess you weren't as tall as [b]I[/b] was, lady...[/i]” He thought, grimacing somewhat as he began to tie the kimono closed. \n\n\tLooking over his body, the Kirlia couldn't help but flush a bit deeper. With his body type and the skimpy, flowery design of the kimono, Kane couldn't help but feel like a [i]girl![/i] His heart raced somewhat as he turned around, attempting to look over his back. Seeing his shapely rump enter his vision, he couldn't help but scowl somewhat. “[i]Is this thing even covering my ass? Damn, I might as [b]well[/b] be naked![/i]” \n\n\tThe Kirlia didn't really know why, but despite having issues with what he was wearing, he couldn't help but find... enjoyment in it. The kimono [i]was[/i] very comfortable and incredibly soft to the touch. It slide over his feminine frame delicately, contouring to every little curve. Even if he felt like a girl, he couldn't deny the freedom of movement he got from wearing the outfit. It was almost as if it were karate gi, except prettier and daintier. \n\n\t“...it [i]is[/i] awfully cute, though...” He muttered, smiling lightly. This smile would be replaced with a frown as another voice soon came through his door. Instead of the Hatterene, however, Kane was greeted with the unreadable, sarcastic voice of a familiar Ponyta. \n\n\t“Need help with your [i]dress?[/i]” Giacomo said, leaning his back against the wall. Despite his short meditation, thoughts of the panty-clad Kirlia were still dancing around in his mind, weaving between every other thought of his, as if they were flies. \n\n\tOn the other side, the previously humiliated Pokémon boy merely crossed his arms, huffing as he moved towards the door again. “Oh, how charming,” He retorted. “Firstly, I don't [i]need[/i] help getting dressed. [i]Especially[/i] if it's just a flimsy excuse to stare and laugh at me!” Giacomo kept quiet for a moment, his fantasies drifting back into his subconscious once more. This time around, the Ponyta, somewhat frustrated with dirty thoughts, couldn't help but imagine a scenario where he's standing before the Kirlia, assisting him in tying up the kimono. He didn't know why, but he rather... enjoyed the thought. Not in a sadistic way, but in a way that made him feel... affectionate? [i]That[/i] was a new thought for him. He wasn't sure what to make of it currently. \n\n\tWhile Giacomo was lost in his own thoughts for the next few seconds, Kane would finally open the door fully, standing in his new outfit. “Secondly, it's a [i]kimono[/i]. Not a dress,” Kane stated in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. Previous thoughts about potentially crushing on the Kirlia were quickly replaced by feelings of annoyance, as if a fly was buzzing around his brain. To him, the Kirlia would always be something of a pest. Even if he was awfully adorable in his pink kimono, showing off those thick thighs, dressed like a present just [i]begging[/i] to be unwrapped by his hands... \n\n\t“You still look like a girl,” Giacomo replied, shrugging casually as he smirked somewhat at Kane's indignation. Pushing his buttons always got cute reactions out of him. \n\n\t“Hmph... well it's [i]your[/i] fault anyways.” Kane continued, turning his head and crossing his arms. The Ponyta couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in disbelief. \n\n\t“[i]My[/i] fault, huh?” \n\n\t“Uh, yeah! In fact, if I [i]didn't[/i] shield myself in time, I'm sure you would've blasted me through the damn walls!” \n\n\t“Not my fault you're so tiny and throwable.” Giacomo flashed an even more smug smile, teasing Kane further. \n\n\t“Just you wait until I evolve,” Kane began, causing the Ponyta to roll his eyes and start to walk off. His smile hadn't faded away, as he was deriving a lot of amusement from teasing the Kirlia. \n\n\t“[i]Here[/i] we go...” \n\n\t“Oh, don't '[i]here we go[/i]' me!” Kane started up, following Giacomo down the hall. “You know that if I had more strength, that weak little '[b]Reflect[/b]' shield of yours would be useless!” \n\n\t“Love that optimism,” The Ponyta replied, highly amused by his own antics. He couldn't help but look down at Kane every once in awhile, observing his petite body for a half-second before looking forward again. \n\n\t“Aw, whatever. At least I don't rely on luck for everything,” Kane said. \n\n\t“Maybe you should,” Giacomo continued as they began to head toward the stairs. “Maybe you'd still have clothes that way.” Kane said nothing, although the Ponyta could sense the pouting scowl that had formed over his face. \n\n\t“Alright then, Mr. Lucky, then let's play a game of Koi-Koi and see just how much you've got left today.” The Kirlia challenged as he followed down the stairs. \n\n\tHearing this, Giacomo turned his head with an eager smile, his tail swishing around a little faster. “You're on.” \n\n________________________________________________________________\n\n\t\n\t“[i]...they don't even know what they're [b]doing[/b]...[/i]” Kane thought hotly, sitting on the lotus position with his eyes shut. To his left, Giacomo would be in the same pose, keeping his own concentration up. He secretly agreed with Kane's thought, despite not listening in on his thoughts. He had other matters to think upon. \n\n\tApparently, while the two oldest pupils of the Lotus Dojo were in their rooms, Ms Hatterene had allowed the younger members some time to play with the Hanafuda cards. She had [i]also[/i] put a 'hard limit' of how often Kane and Giacomo play, as to not have the two of them fighting over it again. \n\n\tThat was how both Pokéboys found themselves being forced to meditate while they listen to the younger students try and figure out how to play the game, located only a few feet away from them. To the group of four kids playing with the Hanafuda cards, they were having lots of fun. To Kane, who was told to keep quiet while they played, this was nothing short of mental torture. \n\n\t“Uhhh... I match [i]this[/i] with [i]this![/i]” Saffron stated confidently, placing a '[i]Plum[/i] Blossom' card on top of '[i]Cherry[/i] Blossom' before collecting them to his side. Kane wasn't able to see it, but he somehow [i]knew[/i] that it wasn't even organized. This made his heart pound even faster, despite keeping a relatively cool outward demeanor. The other kids merely chattered thoughtfully as the game continued. \n\n\t“[i]He isn't even organized... they're not even keeping score! Dammit![/i]” Kane thought to himself, scowling slightly. “[i]If only [b]Giacomo[/b] didn't have so much luck![/i]” \n\n\tThe Ponyta in question was focused on his own mediation, hardly even focused on the group of children. Even if he also couldn't help but find frustration in how they played the game. Much like his rival and housemate, he was thinking about the other one. Unlike Kane's curses, however, Giacomo had more 'cooperative' fantasies. They also happened to be more... 'unsavory'. Because of this fact, the Galarian Ponyta couldn't help but try to ignore the throbbing erection that began to tug at his pants. \n\n\tHis fantasies, on the other hand, he could [i]not[/i] ignore. Currently, the equine Pokémorph was imagining the mouthy Kirlia meditating in his lap, rather than on a smooth stone. “[i][b]Giacomo..![/b][/i]” The fantasy Kane whined cutely, wiggling his juicy butt into the Ponyta's dick. “[i]You're not positioned correctly! Straighten your back up, will ya?[/i]” \n\n\t“[i]Keep quiet, you fat-assed little brat..![/i]” Giacomo's fantasy-self scolded the fictional Kane, not denying his aching, growing arousal. “[i]Why don't [b]you[/b] sit still for once?[/i]” Thoughts soon shifted to the Kirlia's ass, which the Ponyta imagined felt like a very dense, yet squishy pillow. Currently, fantasy-Kane's ass was grinding even more firmly, lifting up his tiny kimono and slowly exposing his rear, or at least what Giacomo [i]imagined[/i] it looked like.\n\n\tWhile he continued to sit and mediate among his peers, smuggling an enormous hard-on against his leg, Giacomo grew more and more frustrated. Not with the kids – not completely – but with himself. No matter how hard he tried, visions of a half-naked, teasing Kirlia boy wouldn't escape his mind. He knew that as he sat, his face was burning a bright red hue, embarrassed at the concept of being attracted to Kane. \n\n\t“[i]If he ever knew I was thinkin' these things...[/i]” Giacomo thought to himself, somewhat anxious at the thought. “[i]Ugh, get a hold of yourself, man! Just cuz he's got a juicy fat butt and a cute... petite... fit little body... t-that doesn't mean he isn't annoying and stupid! Jeez![/i]” \n\n\tHe didn't know it, but the Kirlia's face was equally as red, although not for the same reason. \n\n\t“[i]Winnie, you're supposed to match [b]flowers[/b]; WILLOWS AND PAULOWNIAS ARE [b]NOT[/b] THE SAME FLOWER![/i]” Kane screamed inwardly.\n\n\tNeither of the two knew if they could hold out for much longer at this rate. All they knew was it was going to be a [i]long[/i] two hours. \n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\n\t \n\n\t\n\t", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The Kane Chronicles

“Is a Good Defense Really The Best Offense?”


\tLife at the Lotus Dojo was often quite peaceful. In between standard classes, meals, and sleeping, Ms Hatterene allowed a generous portion of – what she liked to call – meditation time. Any activity or hobby that offered some form of 'spiritual or mental enrichment' to her pupils were allowed to pass the time. As Kane once figured out, however, there was only so far that rule could stretch, so many exceptions were made, in his case.

\tOtherwise, on more than one occasion, a peaceful life often meant a boring one.

\tFortunately, the matron of the dojo was kind enough to recently buy a pack of traditional Hanafuda cards on her previous grocery run. All of the other, younger pupils didn't seem to much care, nor understand, the game of Koi-Koi, despite their interest in the cards' designs. As for the two older pupils, Kane and Giacomo, it didn't take them long to become hooked on the deceptively simple game.

\tCurrently, the two psychic-types were engaged in another match, taking place in the flowery backyard of the Lotus Dojo. While both boys were comfortable sitting cross-legged in the grass, they knew it wouldn't be easy to play cards on such terrain. They remedied this by pulling a long, flat stone from the forest and setting it up to act as a table. They were also given a small, yet lengthy rug from the Pokéwoman to help “keep the game classy,” as Ms Hatterene put it. Kane didn't much care for trying to make a serious, thinking man's game 'cutesy', but it came in handy regardless.

\tThe two psychic-types had just started on their 12th (and final) round. The two boys were intelligent enough to keep score without external assistance, so their focus was entirely on their hands and playing area. With a very small difference in score between Kane and Giacomo, the outcome of the game would come down to this round. From the determined, frustrated expression on the Kirlia's face, it was clear he was wanting to break a recent losing streak he had developed. His opponent, Giacomo, looked equally determined, yet attempted to keep a neutral 'poker-face'.

\tAfter a few seconds of studying their starter hand, the two duo began to match specific flower cards in quick succession. Kane's face began to grow more determined as the game continued. He also took the liberty of breaking silence, collecting another set. “Thank you,” He said, unable to hold back a small grin.

\tGiacomo tutted his tongue as he placed down another card, unable to match anything. “Cheeky...” He muttered, watching as Kane collected another set. He was sitting up a bit more straight, feeling the pressure of a potential loss mounting on him.

\t“Hey, ya snooze, ya lose,” The Kirlia remarked, studying over his scored cards. With two “light” cards collected, he only needed one more to finish up the round and win the match.

\t“Well snooze this, loser,” The Ponyta snarked, collecting the saké cup card. This action made Kane jolt a bit, momentarily indignant.

\t“No! It's alright, I don't need it anyway.” His tone quickly shifted to a calmer one, acting as if he didn't care.

\tFrom afar and above, Ms Hatterene was spying on the two boys from the highest floor of the dojo. Being a highly empathetic and emotional Pokémorph, she couldn't help but feel somewhat drawn to the competitive nature that came from playing games. Especially if those two were playing. If anything, she was just as invested in the game as Kane and Giacomo were.

\tIt would only take a few more seconds before the match finally reached its conclusion. Despite Kane managing to close out the round with five scrolls, he knew he would only be able to win if he collected the three lights. Because of this fact, he called 'koi-koi' to continue the round until the next scoring set.

\tUnfortunately for the Kirlia, he had inadvertently left an opening for Giacomo to collect the 'deer' card, scoring with the 'Boar-Deer-Butterfly' set. Because of this, his sudden influx of points caused him to beat Kane. Again.

\tNaturally, this caused an upset within the psychic-type. “No way! How is that even possible?!” He yelled out, his face reddening with indignant anger. The Ponyta, on the other hand, looked quite pleased with himself. A sight that Kane (and by extension, Ms Hatterene) had seen too many times.

\t“Oooh, sorry, man! Got too lucky for ya!” Giacomo responded.

\t“You ripped that win away from me!”

\t“I ripped it clean off!” He laughed, amused with Kane's reaction.

\t“You only won 'cuz you had that saké cup.” The Kirlia shot back, crossing his arms with a huff.

\t“Yeah 'cuz you've been hogging it all game!”

\t“It was my only chance!”

\t“Well now that chance is gone!”

\tGiacomo boasted as Kane groused, with the unseen Hatterene laughing fondly at the sight. “Aw, poor Kane! He forgets that luck can quickly turn against him,” She mused to herself, watching as the two boys continued to argue. From underneath her furry coat, she scratched at her chin. Her nerves were starting to tighten up, somewhat, sensing the growing intentions between her two pupils. This concerned her somewhat. It didn't' help that she would soon feel a third presence coming close.

\tBefore the sliding door even opened, Ms Hatterene had already turned towards it, watching as a silhouette formed behind the paper walls. She felt her nerves soften up once more, quickly recognizing it as her partner, Mr. Mime. She had no need to be so wound up around him. Sure enough, when the door opened, he revealed himself, flashing a curious smile in her direction.

\t“Ah there you are, honey! Been looking for you.” He greeted, furrowing his brow somewhat. He wasn't really sure what she was doing. “Ah, I hope I'm not interrupting something..?”

\t“Oh, hello dear,” Ms Hatterene responded, bowing slightly. “I was just checking on two of our... students.” She glanced toward the window once more, her expression quickly becoming noticeably worried. Kane and Giacomo were still arguing. They were close to each other, looking ready to fight with each other. Both boys were restraining themselves, as if waiting for the other to swing first.

\tBy this point, Mr. Mime had joined her side, looking out of the window as well. Once he took notice of the situation at hand, he let out a sigh. “Oh, dear, they're at it again, huh..?”

\t“Unfortunately so...” Ms Hatterene tutted, watching as the young Espurr, Saffron, ran outside. Once he was close enough to see the two psychic-types argue, he froze in place. He watched the sight for a few seconds before quickly turning around and running in the other direction. It looked as if he was yelling something. Neither of the two dojo masters could hear him over the older  Pokémorphs, however. “I was hoping that giving them a game would help channel their hostility into friendly competition! It works at first, but then things just... get out of hand.”

\t“Maybe it's just because they're boys,” Mr. Mime said, thinking aloud. He was rubbing his chin as he watched. “Well, older boys, at least. They've been training for so long, that they're... antsy! I think, anyways.”

\t“That would make sense.” Ms Hatterene nodded, unfortunately coming to the same conclusion. As much as she detested teaching anything violent, it was about time for them to start taking battling seriously. Especially if they were to one day traverse Mystery Dungeons. She just needed to make sure they didn't kill each other, first. “Honey, go separate them and bring them inside. I believe it is time for them to learn  how to properly harness their overactive energy.”

\tMr. Mime was curious about her line of reasoning, though wouldn't need much time before he realized what she was insinuating. He raised his eyebrows for a second as a knowing expression started to form over his face. “Oh good. I'll let the Guardians know so that they know to build us a new Dojo afterwards.” Ms Hatterene scowled at him, though her partner didn't seem put-off or frightened by it. How could he be when she was unable to hide the amused grin on her face?

_________________________________________________________________________


\tOnce Mr. Mime managed to pry Kane and Giacomo away from each other, he brought them back inside of the dojo, leading them to a large, matted room. Everyone knew it as the 'meditation room'. A variety of scrolls and charms decorated the walls, adding a 'mystic' charm to the entire space. While natural lighting from nearby windows helped with visibility, much of the lighting came from paper lanterns that hung in each corner of the room. On any other day, the meditation room would've been used for all of the residents to have group meditation sessions. Right now, however, Ms Hatterene had a different agenda in mind.

\tCurrently, she was standing before the two oldest pupils of the Dojo, with Mr. Mime standing at her side. The Kirlia an Ponyta were still and patient, knowing it was wise to respect the Hatterene's authority. Neither one of them wanted to bring up the fact that they had just been fighting over a card game. Even if she did already knew about it. They didn't need to wait long before she started speaking to them.

\t“Good afternoon, boys. Today, you two will be part of a special lesson. Something that I think will be utterly necessary for you two to grow as pupils of the Lotus Dojo.” Ms Hatterene paused a moment, giving a quick, thoughtful glance between the psychic-types. “...for better or for worse.” Kane and Giacomo shared a somewhat confused expression between each other before looking forward again.

\t“It's a rough, scary world out there, boys,” Mr. Mime continued, nodding sagely to himself. “We're all lucky enough that Tapu Lele, as well as the rest of the forest Guardians, keep a vigilant eye on us. Unfortunately, sometimes that isn't enough. As much as we don't wish for it to happen, one of these days, you might meet a particularly dangerous Pokémon. Heck, maybe a whole group of them! Now, despite the fact that the Lotus Dojo stands for peace-”

\t“Are we gonna learn to fight?” Kane blurted out, looking marginally more excited for the potential lesson. The interruption didn't amuse Mr. Mime, who paused and stumbled over his syllables for a second.

\t“Wh- buh-uh, technically, but-”

\t“Oh, I'm so ready!” The Kirlia continued, eager at the thought of showing off. As well as beating Giacomo. Currently, the Ponyta was rolling his eyes, appearing neutral at the thought entirely.

\t“You couldn't even land a 'Psybeam', shrimp,” Giacomo said, earning another ugly gaze from the shorter pupil.

\t“Well, we'll be learning something different from that,” Mr. Mime quickly cut in, hoping to be proactive on stopping any arguments. “Let's not get all eager to hurt each other, alright?” Both boys remained quiet for the time being. Mr. Mime was thankful they at least appeared to be interested in learning, this time around.

\t“Offensive abilities can be extremely powerful, but extremely draining. Not to mention destructive,” Ms Hatterene said, keeping an even, cool tone. “Shields and protective fields can take a bit of energy as well, but they are also easier to stay focused on, and will help you stay in the fight.”

\t“They say the best offense is a good defense, after all,” Mr. Mime added sagely. Kane's excitement decreased almost immediately, furrowing his brow somewhat. That was a phrase that he always found stupid. If you're just standing around doing nothing but take punches, then how is that better than actually attacking?

\t“Really? Shielding?” Kane replied, his tone much unamused. “Couldn't we do something, I dunno, more exciting?” The Hatterene woman's eyebrows raised, almost surprised by his answer.

\t“If you wish to go into mystery dungeons, Kane, you would be wise to learn both ends of the proverbial stick,” She answered, pointing in his direction. “The longer you can stay on your feet, the more likely you are to succeed.”

\t“Surprisingly, Kane, using your fists for every problem doesn't always work,” Giacomo started up, still looking nonplussed. “Using your brain works wonders. I'd suggest trying it.”

\t“Well, lucky for you, that's what I plan on doing!” The Kirlia cut in, huffing somewhat. He was fired up once more, not wanting his rival to think that he wasn't capable. “I don't need luck to rely on my skills.” Hearing this Giacomo, scoffed, smirking a little to himself.

\t"Still bitter bout that loss, huh?” Kane said nothing, though the way his cheeks flushed telegraphed that the answer was 'yes'.

\t“This is going to be a long lesson...” Mr. Mime thought to himself as Ms Hatterene raised a hand up.

\t“We will demonstrate the basics for you, so that you may follow along and get used to these moves. Shall we then, dear?” She stated, turning her head to Mr. Mime.

\t“But of course, honey,” He answered, stepping away from Kane and Giacomo with her. The two pupils stayed in place, watching as Ms Hatterene and Mr. Mime stood a distance away from each other. With that, the lesson would begin.

\tFor a few moments, Ms Hatterene instructed tips on how to hone mental telekinesis into creating a force field while flinging low-level 'Psybeams' at Mr. Mime. Both of his hands were held up in front of him as he summoned 'Light Screen'. While it was rather obvious that the Hatterene woman was holding back when it came to inflicting damage, the Mr. Mime was doing an exceptional job completely negating all damage coming his way. He wasn't even breaking a sweat. Kane couldn't help but feel at least a little fascinated.

\t“If I could do that, nothing would stop me, I'll bet...” He thought to himself. “There may be use in learning these techniques after all!”

\tThe next demonstration consisted of the attacking and defending roles swapping. Mr. Mime would begin lunging at his tall partner, using the move 'Double Slap'. To defend against these attacks, the Hatterene woman's appendage-like hair waved around, similar to the motions of a hypnotizing metronome. This was her way of summoning another force field. It didn't take long for the two students to take notice of how well it held up against physical attacks. Kane just figured that Mr. Mime wasn't as strong or athletic to break through.

\t“Remember that Reflect can be more difficult than Light Screen. If you're in a physical altercation, it takes a lot of discipline to keep your force field active. Stay vigilant and do not let your opponent overwhelm you.”

\t“Easy for her to say...” Kane thought to himself, smiling a bit. He seemed a lot more confident in his ability to use defensive shields. Even if he hadn't done it before, he figured it wouldn't take a whole lot to be good at it. If he can master this, then that means he'll have more time to work on his physical strength!

\tOnce the two teachers were finished with their demonstration, they allowed the Ponyta and Kirlia to take their spots. Kane wouldn't waste time before he started stretching in place, ready to show off his abilities. Giacomo would stretch as well, though not as much as his over-eager opponent. As they prepared, Mr. Mime relayed how the rules would go.

\t“Alright, so you guys will take turns attacking the other – “

\t“With minimal injuries, if you please!” Ms Hatterene warned, looking between the two younger psychic-types.

\t“ – and focus your energy into the proper force field needed. It may take some time to perfect, but it shouldn't be too hard to understand!”

\t“Giacomo, you shall defend first,” The Hatterene stated. “Kane, you try and fight through his defense.”

\t“Can do, Miss!” Kane laughed. Currently, he was rotating his shoulder while flashing a smarmy smile to his opponent, who responded by snorting in bemused disbelief. “This'll be the easiest lesson yet!” Mr. Mime looked concerned, although Ms Hatterene merely gave a small nod, hiding the tiniest of smiles on her face.

\t“Whenever you are ready, then,” She replied. In her opinion, it was a good change to see Kane become more involved in lessons. Her heart began to race a little bit as she sensed his competitiveness and eagerness to fight. As was part of her nature.

\tThe Kirlia didn't need to be told twice before he darted at the Ponyta. It wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Kane opted to go for a physical attack. In all fairness to him, however, he was incredibly fast. What's more, he was strafing around in a rapid, disorienting way. Giacomo had only the slightest bit of trouble keeping his eyes on Kane.

\tNevertheless, Kane had little issue moving closer. Giacomo barely had time to react as Kane began to strike, kicking his left leg in his direction. Thanks to a quick reaction time, the Ponyta managed to initiate the 'Reflect' move.

\tGiacomo's timing was nothing less than perfect, as Kane's foot collided half of a second afterwards. The Ponyta felt no pain, however, while the Kirlia's leg bounced off of an invisible force. It was as if he had kicked an enormous ball or balloon. Despite the parry, the petite attacker recovered his stance rather effortlessly. The defending Pokémorph couldn't help but grunt in mild annoyance.

\t“Quit dancing around like a ballerina, dammit! Take this seriously!” He thought to himself, glaring at his opponent. Giacomo didn't know why the Kirlia always made him so frustrated. His adrenaline couldn't help but spike somewhat each time he saw him. Did it have something to do with his ego? Or was it the fact that he always had something to say with that loud mouth of his? Not to mention the fact that he prances around like a fairy and still deludes himself into thinking he's somehow manlier. On some subconscious level, Giacomo felt as if he needed to prove him wrong.

\tBefore Kane could attempt to attack again – as evidenced by the fact that he was lifting his leg up to strike once more – a familiar voice called to the duo. “Very nice defense, Giacomo!” Mr. Mime hollered across the room. “You caught him at just the right time!”

\t“Just make sure you keep your eyes on your opponent, hm?” Ms Hatterene added with a coy smile.

\t“Grr... y-yes, Ms Hatterene,” The Ponyta called, watching as Kane hurried back over to his side. He was quite pleased with himself, posing and stretching casually.

\t“Yeah, not a bad attempt!” Kane called back, shrugging nonchalantly. “Doubt it'd last longer than one hit, though.” The Ponyta huffed, readying an offensive stance of his own. It was obvious from the annoyed scowl that he was starting to reach his tipping point. At this point, Giacomo began to rush directly at Kane, attempting his own physical attack.

\t“Alright, wise guy! Let's see how you hold up!”

\t“Oh shit..!” Kane thought to himself, watching as the taller male barreled right at him. At first, the Kirlia focused his energy into a 'Reflect'. He didn't struggle that much with holding the shield, though the glow of his 'horns' flickered softly, showing that it was taking up a lot of energy for him.

\tFrom afar, the two older Pokémorphs watched, surprised with the sudden development. “Do you think he'll be able to hold it?” Mr. Mime asked his partner, slightly worried.

\t“He is using a lot of power. Very strong short-term, but I do not think Kane has the endurance to sustain it for much longer,” Ms Hatterene replied, her wide eyes watching with diligence. Even without looking, she could tell that the energy was making all of the decorations and lanterns shake around. If she had to guess, the whole Dojo might've been rumbling under the aura. Ms Hatterene hoped the little ones weren't frightened by it.  

\tWhile Kane was certainly exerting a lot of force, he felt confident that he would be able to defend against anything Giacomo had to throw at him. Because the Ponyta wasn't attempting to evade from his vision, Kane didn't have any issue keeping an eye on him. He only grew concerned the moment he jumped upwards, rearing a palm backwards.

\tIt was then that Kane was able to notice a glow – faint at first, but illuminating exponentially brighter – forming in his hand. “Oh crap, he's using 'Confusion'!” He thought to himself, panicking somewhat. “'Reflect' isn't gonna do anything!”

\tKane knew that there was only one way to counter this, and that was by using 'Light Screen', and now. Fortunately for himself, his reaction time caused him to instantly switch force field types. In doing so, however, the Kirlia was forced to use up the remainder of his power in one second. The result was something unexpected. Unfortunately for Kane, this wasn't a good thing.

\tThe intensity of the force field that the Kirlia created was powerful enough to emit a blinding light, which flashed for a brief second. Even the two teachers were affected by it, having to shield their eyes. The amount of energy eminating from him also caused the decorations to shake and flutter around even more violently. As for Giacomo, the power of Kane's 'Light Screen' was more than enough to negate the Ponyta's attempt at using his own attack. Not only that, but it also sent him flying across to the other side of the room. He tumbled onto the floor, rolling a good distance away.

\tWhat happened to Kane, however, was far more embarrassing than being knocked on his ass.

\tSomehow, he was able to stay on his feet as he summoned the force field around him. As he blasted Giacomo away, though, Kane would also destroy his clothing. In just a second, the boy's clothes – save for a small pair of white panties – were shredded into oblivion, exposing his petite, yet fit, body.

\tKane didn't notice this right away, however, as he was too busy leaning against his knees while allowing 'Light Screen' to dissipate. “Did... is that how ya duh-do it?” He asked, panting heavily. While Kane was mostly speaking to himself, it wasn't difficult for his teachers to hear him. Of course, in doing so, they'd also notice his unfortunate state of undress.

\tAs the dust settled, their eyes fell upon Kane's half-naked body. The two of them were shocked, albeit in different ways. Mr. Mime's face burned a bright pink, unable to peel his eyes away, although not due to a lack of trying. “O-oh goodness..!” He gasped out.

\tThe normally stoic Hatterene woman was also incredibly surprised, staring blankly at her pupil unabashedly. For a few seconds, she'd try to keep a neutral expression. Her long, hair-like appendage quickly swooped over her mouth, being an obvious tell that she was hiding an enormous smile. Even she couldn't deny the immense amount of entertainment she got from what had just happened. “Oh dear! Poor Kane! Aw, at least he still has his underwear. His teeny, tiny underwear... ehehe!” She thought to herself.

\tRight as the two teachers were reacting to Kane's situation, Giacomo was just now starting to come out of his daze, slowly lifting himself up with his arms, yet remained sitting. “Nnf, damn, man, what... happened?” He began, quickly derailing from whatever he was thinking about as his eyes fell upon his half naked house-mate. “Woah..!”

\tAt this point, Kane finally noticed his under-dressed state. As he heard the others gasp out, his eyes quickly noticed his exposed body. Looking around the immediate area, he wasn't able to see neither a single shred nor thread of clothing. While he may have reacted a few seconds too late, the boy finally attempted to cover his immodesty, yelping out with a higher tone in his voice. “Aah! M-my clothes!”

\tDespite the fact that Kane was aware of the fact that everyone was staring at him, he looked up to Giacomo first. The Ponyta was still sitting awkwardly on the ground, staring shamelessly at the sight. While he kept a surprised expression, he said nothing to the Kirlia, being way too distracted to come up with any sort of statement or insult.

\tNeedless to say, Kane was far too embarrassed and paranoid to give him the benefit of the doubt. He didn't know what he was thinking, but there was no way he was going to humiliate himself further. Even if he was starting to squirm in place, still hiding his panty-covered crotch. The Kirlia started to laugh nervously, shivering somewhat as his face grew redder. “I-I concede! P-please, these undies are all I've got left!” He whined, begging as if his life depended on it. In truth, he really didn't have any clothes left on standby, and had no idea of what to do.

\t“Awww, oh nooo! Now he's gotta be nakey!~" Ms Hatterene giggled in her head, still hiding her wide, almost unhinged smile. She was starting to get overly-antsy at the situation, although she couldn't help but feel empathy. Not that it got in the way of her personal amusement.

\t“O-okay, lesson over!” Mr. Mime called, waving his hands as he fully averted his gaze. “Oh dear... we can't leave him like this, honey!” He uttered to his wife.

\t“Why not?” Was her initial, reactionary thought.

\tShe brushed that aside quickly, although she couldn't deny just how adorable she found the sight of an embarrassed, nearly naked Kane. It was rather refreshing from his usual overly-high self-esteem. After a few seconds of saying nothing, the woman finally uncovered her mouth and replied to her partner. “I am aware,” She responded simply, musing over potential ideas. “It would be awfully immodest.” She looked over to the cowering Kirlia, who was still attempting to hide himself with his hands. “Kane, I have something you can wear for the time being. Go wait in your room for me to bring it to you.”
\t
\t“Y-y-yes ma'am!” He yelped, bowing his head rapidly and shamefully, not wasting any time in rushing out of the room and up the stairs. He was gracious with the opportunity to hide his exposure and didn't try to linger long. Watching the Kirlia dash off desperately caused her to accidentally snort out a rather loud laugh. It was loud enough to make Mr. Mime now look at his partner. Giacomo did so as well, though returned his gaze back towards the door Kane exited from.

\t“Sorry, sorry!” The Hatterene woman laughed out, clearing her throat as she attempted to soothe herself. “That is just, uh... not... not something you see everyday..!”

\t“You're not wrong,” Mr. Mime replied after a small pause, shaking his head somewhat. “Guess we gotta buy him a new outfit again.”

\t“At least this time was an accident.” The Hatterene gently petted the other psychic-type on his shoulder, smiling softly, yet gleefully. “The tailors will not need to measure him this time around.” The Mr. Mime laughed gently at this, shrugging at this.

\t“Ah, the silver lining... always love your optimism, dear.”

\t“I know,” She responded coyly, leaning down to plant a kiss on his head.

\t“Um,” Giacomo started up, finally finding his voice. “Does that mean we're done, or..?” He didn't wait for a response, as he was already headed towards the door.

\t“Ah yes, we are,” The Hatterne answered, waving him off. It was almost as if he were suddenly intruding on a moment. “We will practice this more another time. Good job today.”

\t“...right. Thanks,” Giacomo responded, not wasting another second before heading out. His head was still swimming with various thoughts, which kept popping up in the back of his brain. His face still felt flush with second-hand embarrassment, and his heart continued to pump away rapidly. Visions of Kane in nothing but his petite underwear played in his mind, although Giacomo didn't really know why.

\tWell, we probably knew why, but soon became heavily in denial about it. What he couldn't deny, however, was the growing erection in his own pants. Unlike Kane, Giacomo wore simple boxer-briefs, so they held the Ponyta's growing hard-on comfortably. He knew that if his cock got any harder, however, it would soon be poking through his leg-hole. Many thoughts were going through the Ponyta's mind, and he didn't know what to think of it currently.

\tAs he rushed towards his room, he lingered near the door of Kane's, which was across the hall. Glancing from the side of his eyes, Giacomo was able to see the silhouette of the Kirlia, who was pacing around. No doubt that he would soon be able to see the Ponyta.

\tBefore he could allow himself to be accused of teasing or 'peeping' on Kane, Giacomo moved into his own room to wait around in. Before he could give in to his more 'primal' urges, the Pokémorph instead decided to sit on the floor, cross his legs, and began to meditate.

\t“Get your mind off of it, dammit,” He mused to himself, keeping a steady breathing technique. “You can't let him know..!”

\tAs he meditated on this thought, he couldn't help but feel the sensation of his dick pulsing eagerly against his thigh.

\t“This is gonna take awhile,” He thought, furrowing his brow.

________________________________________________________________________


\tWhile Giacomo attempted to meditate his erection away, Ms Hatterne was heading towards Kane's bedroom. She was delicately holding a small, pink, floral-print kimono, which she had gotten after spending a few minutes searching through her wardrobe. Knowing that the Kirlia was still hiding in his room, the tall Pokéwoman remained just outside the door with her back turned. Using her long, prehensile hair – which happened to be holding the kimono – to gently rap at the wood frame of the door, she'd alert her pupil of her presence.

\t“I have contacted the tailors, and they will have more clothes ready for you by next week. Until then, I have brought you an old kimono of mine. I was just a little smaller than you when I was younger, but it should still fit just fine.”

\tOn the other side of the door, the half-nude figure of Kane appeared, silhouetted in shadow. The boy opened the door, just enough to shimmy his arm and hand through. After retrieving it, he'd quickly pull his arm back in, closing the door once more. With the walls being paper-thin, however, he was still able to talk with the Dojo's master. While he was certainly grateful to have some form of coverage, he did have reservations about his only option.

\t“Did you have to pick the one with flowers on it?” He criticized, holding up the kimono and observing it with a rueful squint. “Don't you have something, I dunno, more fitting for a guy?”

\t“Flowers are not concerned with gender, Kane,” Ms Hatterene hummed, looking over her shoulder somewhat. “Besides, I was not ever a 'guy', so no, I do not.” This made the Kirlia grumble to himself softly, feeling his face grow warmer once more. “If you would rather remain in your... underpants, then feel free to just pass it back through.”

\t“N-no, it'll do!” Kane responded quickly, pulling the kimono close to his body, as if it would be yanked from him suddenly. “I can't lose all of my dignity.”

\t“Happy to hear,” The woman hummed peacefully, starting to walk away. “Nowdo put it on sometime today, please. We still have a whole day ahead of us, you know.”

\t“Yes, Ms Hatterene,” he sighed, already starting to slide the silky piece on. It was quite comfy, although it hardly felt like he was wearing anything at all. The size of the kimono itself did fit his petite body, albeit only somewhat. Around the chest and waist, it was fine, and the sleeves just barely covered his arms. What Kane didn't seem to appreciate was how the kimono seemed to be cut mid-thigh. “Guess you weren't as tall as I was, lady...” He thought, grimacing somewhat as he began to tie the kimono closed.

\tLooking over his body, the Kirlia couldn't help but flush a bit deeper. With his body type and the skimpy, flowery design of the kimono, Kane couldn't help but feel like a girl! His heart raced somewhat as he turned around, attempting to look over his back. Seeing his shapely rump enter his vision, he couldn't help but scowl somewhat. “Is this thing even covering my ass? Damn, I might as well be naked!”

\tThe Kirlia didn't really know why, but despite having issues with what he was wearing, he couldn't help but find... enjoyment in it. The kimono was very comfortable and incredibly soft to the touch. It slide over his feminine frame delicately, contouring to every little curve. Even if he felt like a girl, he couldn't deny the freedom of movement he got from wearing the outfit. It was almost as if it were karate gi, except prettier and daintier.

\t“...it is awfully cute, though...” He muttered, smiling lightly. This smile would be replaced with a frown as another voice soon came through his door. Instead of the Hatterene, however, Kane was greeted with the unreadable, sarcastic voice of a familiar Ponyta.

\t“Need help with your dress?” Giacomo said, leaning his back against the wall. Despite his short meditation, thoughts of the panty-clad Kirlia were still dancing around in his mind, weaving between every other thought of his, as if they were flies.

\tOn the other side, the previously humiliated Pokémon boy merely crossed his arms, huffing as he moved towards the door again. “Oh, how charming,” He retorted. “Firstly, I don't need help getting dressed. Especially if it's just a flimsy excuse to stare and laugh at me!” Giacomo kept quiet for a moment, his fantasies drifting back into his subconscious once more. This time around, the Ponyta, somewhat frustrated with dirty thoughts, couldn't help but imagine a scenario where he's standing before the Kirlia, assisting him in tying up the kimono. He didn't know why, but he rather... enjoyed the thought. Not in a sadistic way, but in a way that made him feel... affectionate? That was a new thought for him. He wasn't sure what to make of it currently.

\tWhile Giacomo was lost in his own thoughts for the next few seconds, Kane would finally open the door fully, standing in his new outfit. “Secondly, it's a kimono. Not a dress,” Kane stated in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. Previous thoughts about potentially crushing on the Kirlia were quickly replaced by feelings of annoyance, as if a fly was buzzing around his brain. To him, the Kirlia would always be something of a pest. Even if he was awfully adorable in his pink kimono, showing off those thick thighs, dressed like a present just begging to be unwrapped by his hands...

\t“You still look like a girl,” Giacomo replied, shrugging casually as he smirked somewhat at Kane's indignation. Pushing his buttons always got cute reactions out of him.

\t“Hmph... well it's your fault anyways.” Kane continued, turning his head and crossing his arms. The Ponyta couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in disbelief.

\t“My fault, huh?”

\t“Uh, yeah! In fact, if I didn't shield myself in time, I'm sure you would've blasted me through the damn walls!”

\t“Not my fault you're so tiny and throwable.” Giacomo flashed an even more smug smile, teasing Kane further.

\t“Just you wait until I evolve,” Kane began, causing the Ponyta to roll his eyes and start to walk off. His smile hadn't faded away, as he was deriving a lot of amusement from teasing the Kirlia.

\t“Here we go...”

\t“Oh, don't 'here we go' me!” Kane started up, following Giacomo down the hall. “You know that if I had more strength, that weak little 'Reflect' shield of yours would be useless!”

\t“Love that optimism,” The Ponyta replied, highly amused by his own antics. He couldn't help but look down at Kane every once in awhile, observing his petite body for a half-second before looking forward again.

\t“Aw, whatever. At least I don't rely on luck for everything,” Kane said.

\t“Maybe you should,” Giacomo continued as they began to head toward the stairs. “Maybe you'd still have clothes that way.” Kane said nothing, although the Ponyta could sense the pouting scowl that had formed over his face.

\t“Alright then, Mr. Lucky, then let's play a game of Koi-Koi and see just how much you've got left today.” The Kirlia challenged as he followed down the stairs.

\tHearing this, Giacomo turned his head with an eager smile, his tail swishing around a little faster. “You're on.”

________________________________________________________________

\t
\t“...they don't even know what they're doing...” Kane thought hotly, sitting on the lotus position with his eyes shut. To his left, Giacomo would be in the same pose, keeping his own concentration up. He secretly agreed with Kane's thought, despite not listening in on his thoughts. He had other matters to think upon.  

\tApparently, while the two oldest pupils of the Lotus Dojo were in their rooms, Ms Hatterene had allowed the younger members some time to play with the Hanafuda cards. She had also put a 'hard limit' of how often Kane and Giacomo play, as to not have the two of them fighting over it again.

\tThat was how both Pokéboys found themselves being forced to meditate while they listen to the younger students try and figure out how to play the game, located only a few feet away from them. To the group of four kids playing with the Hanafuda cards, they were having lots of fun. To Kane, who was told to keep quiet while they played, this was nothing short of mental torture.

\t“Uhhh... I match this with this!” Saffron stated confidently, placing a 'Plum Blossom' card on top of 'Cherry Blossom' before collecting them to his side. Kane wasn't able to see it, but he somehow knew that it wasn't even organized. This made his heart pound even faster, despite keeping a relatively cool outward demeanor. The other kids merely chattered thoughtfully as the game continued.

\t“He isn't even organized... they're not even keeping score! Dammit!” Kane thought to himself, scowling slightly. “If only Giacomo didn't have so much luck!”

\tThe Ponyta in question was focused on his own mediation, hardly even focused on the group of children. Even if he also couldn't help but find frustration in how they played the game. Much like his rival and housemate, he was thinking about the other one. Unlike Kane's curses, however, Giacomo had more 'cooperative' fantasies. They also happened to be more... 'unsavory'. Because of this fact, the Galarian Ponyta couldn't help but try to ignore the throbbing erection that began to tug at his pants.

\tHis fantasies, on the other hand, he could not ignore. Currently, the equine Pokémorph was imagining the mouthy Kirlia meditating in his lap, rather than on a smooth stone. “Giacomo..!” The fantasy Kane whined cutely, wiggling his juicy butt into the Ponyta's dick. “You're not positioned correctly! Straighten your back up, will ya?”

\t“Keep quiet, you fat-assed little brat..!” Giacomo's fantasy-self scolded the fictional Kane, not denying his aching, growing arousal. “Why don't you sit still for once?” Thoughts soon shifted to the Kirlia's ass, which the Ponyta imagined felt like a very dense, yet squishy pillow. Currently, fantasy-Kane's ass was grinding even more firmly, lifting up his tiny kimono and slowly exposing his rear, or at least what Giacomo imagined it looked like.

\tWhile he continued to sit and mediate among his peers, smuggling an enormous hard-on against his leg, Giacomo grew more and more frustrated. Not with the kids – not completely – but with himself. No matter how hard he tried, visions of a half-naked, teasing Kirlia boy wouldn't escape his mind. He knew that as he sat, his face was burning a bright red hue, embarrassed at the concept of being attracted to Kane.

\t“If he ever knew I was thinkin' these things...” Giacomo thought to himself, somewhat anxious at the thought. “Ugh, get a hold of yourself, man! Just cuz he's got a juicy fat butt and a cute... petite... fit little body... t-that doesn't mean he isn't annoying and stupid! Jeez!”

\tHe didn't know it, but the Kirlia's face was equally as red, although not for the same reason.

\t“Winnie, you're supposed to match flowers; WILLOWS AND PAULOWNIAS ARE NOT THE SAME FLOWER!” Kane screamed inwardly.

\tNeither of the two knew if they could hold out for much longer at this rate. All they knew was it was going to be a long two hours.
