  "writing": "[b][center]Chapter 4 – Leo’s Lesson[/center][/b]\n\nLeo followed his Charmeleon friend out of the Spa as they began their trek back towards Captivate.\n\nHe trailed behind Aden distractedly, his eyes distant as he tried to shake off the wave of wariness that still lingered in his head.\n\nIt wasn't merely water fatigue from his unintentionally long bath, their stint in the sauna had helped him refreshed him quite a lot in that regard. No this was more him still coming to terms with the other events of the day.\n\nNamely his surprise encounter and subsequent spontaneous mating session with his idol Zara, the seemingly random ambush of a certain Vaporeon during his bath and perhaps most of all thoughts of his Houndoom friend Eli lingered in his mind.\n\nHe mused over such thoughts as he padded in the Charmeleon's wake, not really paying attention to where they were going until they had evidently walked down a flight of stairs and into the Main Bar.\n\nThe buzz of noise made the Growlithe's ears twitch inattentively but it wasn't until they were about half way through the bar when he actually walked head first into the Charmeleon that he seemed to wake from his stupor.\n\n”Sorry Leo, are you okay?” Aden asked turning back to him.\n\nLeo gave a slow sheepish nod “I'm fine, it was my fault. I wasn't paying attention, sorry Aden.”\n\nHe then looked around to see the reason the Charmeleon had stopped in the first place, it seemed a new group were making their way into the main bar causing a bit of congestion.\n\nIt seemed the place was only going to get busier as evening approached. Realizing this, Leo shook his head not quite ready for the even louder, brightly lit special bar.\n\n”I think I'll go to get a little fresh air, I'll catch you up Aden.” Leo said decidedly.\n\n”Oh alright, want me to come with you?” Aden asked.\n\nLeo shook his head “I'll be fine.” He just wanted to take a short walk by himself to try and clear his head a little.\n\n”Alright, we'll be back in Captivate then.” The Charmeleon answered with a wave as he started manoeuvring himself through the crowd and out the opposite door.\n\nLeo turned and headed towards the entranceway, passing the Lopunny who was greeting the newcomers excitedly before sliding outside where he was hit by a surprisingly refreshing breeze of fresh air.\n\nHe took a deep breath, immediately feeling more relaxed.\n\nHe padded over to some grass and sat down with a yawn as he watched the last of the group entering the Café. Pokemon and human alike passed by in what he assumed was another bus route drop off.\n\nHe watched the sizable crowd thin out until only a few remained, his gaze lingering on one in particular, a rather beautiful looking female Pyroar.\n\nShe had a lithe but well toned build. her fur sleek and well kept. The long flow of red and yellow fur flowing from her head was beautiful and vibrant, it was clear she took good care of it.\n\nHe suddenly felt a bit subconscious of his own mane and the lack of care he generally gave it and for once actually felt glad he had actually given it a proper wash.\n\nLike him, she wore no clothes other than a small satchel but she did have a beautiful flower tucked behind her left ear. He couldn't quite tell if it was real or just ornamental but the beautiful petals matched the vivid yellow and red of her mane perfectly. It was subtle but he had to admit it suited her well.\n\nAs he observed her she suddenly stopped just short of the entrance and fell back behind the remaining stragglers until she was the only one still outside.\n\nFor a moment Leo thought she had noticed him staring and stiffened up. To his relief however she didn't look in his direction but instead looked back towards the road where she had come.\n\nLeo followed her gaze but couldn't tell what she was looking at until he looked back towards her and saw her ears twitching. She was listening.\n\nLeo noticed a note of what looked like fear on her face and he wondered what she was afraid of. All he could hear from that direction was the buzz of traffic.\n\n[i]Wait, was it was getting louder?[/i] No it wasn't traffic, it was just one vehicle and it was coming their way.\n\nHe turned back towards the sound and saw a scooter barrelling off the road towards the Pyroar with no sign of stopping.\n\nShe made no attempt to move but just stood stock still as she stared wide eyed at the oncoming vehicle.\n\nLeo stood up, [i]she wasn't going to move[/i]. He wondered if he should tackle her out of the way, but before he could decide the scooter let out an ear-splitting squeak as the driver turned on the breaks hard. The bike then began to wobble a little as they began to lose control.\n\nSeeming to give up on it, the rider jumped clean off the scooter which fell on its side as it began to scrape across the ground. Barely missing the Pyroar, it showered her in a rain of sparks as it passed before gradually slowing to a stop a short distance behind her.\n\nThe rider landed clumsily, almost falling over himself but somehow he managed to regain his balance as he found footing with all four of his paws only a few feet away from the still frozen Pyroar.\n\nIt was a Houndoom and the expression on his face was thunderous, the air around him seemed to actually [i]simmer[/i], giving the hellhound Pokemon quite the terrifying appearance.\n\n\"Are you FUCKING serious Dahli?\" He suddenly spat venomously.\n\n\"I heard you were coming here but I didn't want to believe it! You seriously have the nerve to leave me and then come to a dump like this???\" He bellowed, taking slow angry steps forward as he continued.\n\n\"What, was I just not good enough for you? Are you actually suggesting you'd find a better fuck at a cheap whorehouse like this??”\n\nThe Pyroar was staring at him, visibly shaking. She tried to answer but her voice came out hoarse and feebly compared to his \"I already told you, it's not like that Vex...\"\n\n\"BULLSHIT!” He snarled “It's been less than a day and you already can't wait to get your pussy wet with some male whore??\"\n\nHe stepped forward again until he was almost nose to nose with her, His eyes were boring into her but she couldn't seem to meet them.\n\n\"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU BITCH!\" he spat \"AND ANSWER ME DAMMIT, DID YOU SERIOUSLY COME HERE THINKING YOU COULD FIND A BETTER FUCK THAN ME???\"\nShe finally raised her head, Leo could see fear in her eyes but also a blaze of defiance too.\n\n\"I told you, it's not like that Vex!\" she blustered back.\n\nThe Houndoom didn't seem to like that \"DON'T LIE TO ME!\" he snapped back at her.\n\nThen in a sudden motion he flexed his legs and leaped forward.\n\nHe twisted his neck with open jaws before closing them on the scruff of her neck. He made a movement to pull her back and for a moment it didn't look like it would work but those strong Pyroar muscles suddenly seemed to go limp as with a hefty heave he somehow managed to throw the bigger female onto the floor.\n\nLeo tensed as he watched her fall splayed on her side, it was too much. Before he knew what he was doing he had leapt onto the path behind where the Houndoom was already looming over the crumbled form of the Pyroar.\n\n\"Excuse me sir.\" Leo raised his voice loud enough for him to hear \"I think that's quite enough!\"\n\nThe Houndoom stopped in his tracks and turned to face him.\n\n\"Huh? And [i]who[/i] THE FUCK ARE YOU?\" he barked at Leo, clearly unhappy at being interrupted.\n\nLeo had to admit, the Houndoom's ferocious gaze, his body simmering with unrestrained fire and dark type aura was quite the terrifying sight.\n\nHoundoom had a rather intimidating appearance to begin with and their reputation was little better. If it hadn't been for him meeting Eli, who was far from such a stereotype, he knew he probably would have lost his nerve by now.\n\nYet he didn't even flinch.\n\n\"My name is Leonard\" Leo dipped his head neatly, but not enough to break eye contact with the Houndoom \"I may not know what this is about but I think you need to calm down.\" Leo said solemnly.\n\n\"Oh, do I now?? And what makes you think THIS IS ANY OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS?\" the Houndoom retorted indignantly.\n\n\"You are right, this is not my business and I apologise for interrupting...\" Leo conceded.\n\nThe Houndoom grunted as if he wanted to say more but instead seemed to think better of it as he started to turn back around apparently thinking that was the end of it but Leo continued.\n\n\"But you are acting quite irrationally, if you continue like this you are going to hurt her.\"\n\nThe Houndoom looked dumbfounded at the Growlithe’s audacity,  evidently wondering if the proper sounding Growlithe was actually being serious.\n\nHe actually laughed as he snapped his head back again \"And [i]so what if I do?[/i]\" Are YOU going to do something to stop me?\"\n\nLeo frowned \"I'd rather deal with this peacefully. You are clearly angry, if you step away until you are more in your right mind this can be resolved without any physical confrontation.\"\n\nHe only cackled louder at this \"My [i]right mind[/i]? Oh I am very much in my right mind!\"\n\nHe threw his head back and looked back at the Pyroar.\n\n\"So Dahli, is this what you came here for? What do you think? Do you think this pompous pup can please you better than I can?\"\n\n\"N..No.. Vex, he has nothing to do with this! Leave him alone..\" she pleaded with him.\n\n\"Oh no, he's [i]plenty[/i] involved now. I think he needs to be put in his place to learn when not to stick his nose where it isn't welcome.\" He sneered venomously.\n\nHe returned his fierce gaze to Leo \"I’ll give you credit for having the [i]balls[/i] to face me.”\n\nThen his incensed expression turned into a jeer “If a [i]designer mutt[/i] like you even has a working set to begin with!”\n\n“What kind of Growlithe even are you anyway? Some crazy cross-breed who pumps out blanks? Or did your breeder remove them altogether?”\n\nIt was uncomfortable how close to home the Houndoom was hitting. Leo was an abandoned designer Pokemon bred to be sold to the upper class.\n\nThat had been before the Liberation of course but Leo knew that despite there being a crackdown on such things it still happened.\n\nBreeding rings would force breed unique cross-breeds to sell to the upper class.\n\nit wasn’t uncommon for sure results to end up sterile. Thankfully though he still had a very much healthy set of orbs, [i]albeit fairly drained given his day’s exploits[/i].\n\nNaturally the Houndoom probably couldn’t see them from his perspective as he looked down at the Growlithe smugly while continuing his insults.\n\n”Is that why you snuck away from your master and crawled your way over to a whorehouse? So desperate to be a [i]real[/i] male that you thought coming and dry humping a cheap slut might help you actually [i]feel[/i] something?”\n\n”Do you think if you stand up for this bitch that she'll fuck you? Do you seriously think [i]YOU[/i] could satisfy her?\" he broke off in another bark of laughter.\n\nDespite all the insults, Leo remained calm and didn’t take the bait. Instead he replied calmly, \"No, I have no such intention.\"\n\n\"HA! Sure you don't! I know what sort of shithole this place is, don't play dumb with me!\" he hissed as he braced his paws and lowered his stance.\n\nHe gave the Growlithe a malicious grin as he blew out a lick of flame.\n\nThis wasn't going how Leo had intended. He was still not very good at talking to strangers, he came off awkward and stiff.\n\nStill, he'd hoped addressing him calmly would stop things escalating but this Houndoom was clearly beyond reason.\n\n\"I do not wish to fight you.\" Leo said coolly, giving one last attempt \"I believe we can still settle this with words.\"\n\n\"HA! Words are cheap, real males settle things with tooth and claw!” the Houndoom demonstrated this by flexing one of his forepaws which was equipped with some rather dangerous looking claws.\n\n\"I think you are making a mistake...\" Leo pressed one last time.\n\n”The mistake was yours for meddling in MY business!” The Houndoom bellowed.\n\nLeo relented, clearly nothing he said would work on this Houndoom. He seemed intent on fighting with him, he may have to actually engage.\n\nHis mind was surprisingly clear as he started to go over what he knew about Houndoom in his head. Thankfully he had studied them quite intently, only [i]partly[/i] down to his interest in Eli..\n\nHoundoom\n- A Dark and Fire type.\n- Their most prominent abilities were their speed and ranged aura based attacks.\n- The most typical moves they used were Flamethrower and Dark Pulse, the output of which could be bolstered further by Nasty Plot.\n\nQuite a dangerous opponent all in all, especially as when it really came down to it, Houndooms had Growlithe beat all around the board.\n\nThis was all assuming he and the Houndoom were standing on a level playing field, but Leo knew they were not.\n\nHe was not an experienced fighter. All his training had been under strict conditions where he could practice his moves in a perfectly safe environment. Sophie had always insisted on that.\n\nSo while he had been taught to master control of his abilities to a high level, he had never used them in an actual battle.\n\nThe closest thing he had ever had was some casual spars with Eli, but Leo knew she had always been holding back on him, as had he on the off chance he had actually managed to hurt her.\n\nHe knew that despite her carefree exterior Eli had been a battle hardened Pokemon who would probably wipe the floor with Leo if she took it seriously.\n\nYet while he was consciously aware of his lack of actual battle training, as he faced this Houndoom who surely had far more experience than him, he didn't feel afraid.\n\nIn fact he was quite confused. This Houndoom seemed to be brimming with confidence, [i]but why?[/i]\n\nEven Leo had a vague ability to sense others strengths, that's how he knew he was no match for Eli.\n\nHowever, as he stared down this Houndoom, he knew he was not Eli, not even close.\n\n[i]He was weak.[/i]\n\nLeo may not have experience but he wasn't lacking in strength. Alongside his heavily monitored training, Sophie had obtained some very expensive vitamins to compensate his stats.\n\nSo he was physically very strong, at least for a Growlithe. In fact if he chose to evolve he would quite likely be stronger than even Eli, on paper anyway.\n\nStill, he wasn't about to underestimate his first real opponent. If he was truly this confident, he may have something Leo was naïve to that could give him the edge. He would have to be careful.\n\n”HAHA” The Houndoom began to cackle again “Are you seriously going to try and fight me then? What are you going to do? Send a little Growlithe Ember at me? I dare you to throw one of your puny fire attacks at me!” he broke off in another snort of laughter.\n\nLeo didn't reply. [i]Well that ruled out fire moves[/i]. He could have been bluffing, but he was most likely a Flash Fire user which not only made them immune to fire but actively boosted their own fire type aura.\n\nNot that fire would have been very effective to begin with. That was probably why the Houndoom was so confident, Growlithes didn't have much else to get by offensively without their fire.\n\n[i]At least most didn't..[/i]\n\nThe Houndoom took a single, what he probably thought was an intimidating step forward.\n\nFor a fraction of a second his confident expression wavered as Leo gave not the slightest reaction. Then it returned to a smug but somewhat frustrated smirk.\n\n”Alright pup, have it your way!” he bellowed once more.\n\nLeo simply blinked at him as he contemplated the Houndoom's potential method of attack.\n\n[i]He probably won't use Flamethrower, it won't be very effective plus he probably assumes I'm a Flash Fire user as well. In that case he'll likely keep his distance and use Dark Pulse. There should be no reason for him to try and get close.[/i]\n\nThen as if to contradict Leo's train of thought, the Houndoom suddenly charged directly at him.\n\nFor the first time, Leo's expression faltered. [i]What was he planning?[/i]\n\nThere was no time to overthink things. Leo straightened up and began to focus. If he did this right he could end the fight quickly and efficiently with as little harm as he could manage.\n\nHe braced his legs and began to channel his aura.\n\nHe just had to time it right. He analysed the Houndoom's speed and calculated just when to release his attack.\n\nTense seconds passed, the Houndoom had almost crossed half the distance between them. He was almost at the spot he wanted him.\n\n[i]That's it![/i] Leo narrowed his eyes in concentration and released his aura.\n\nBut as he did, the Houndoom suddenly put on a renewed burst of speed.\n\n[i]Had he sensed his attack?[/i]\n\nIt was too late to change trajectory. [i]Was he going to miss?[/i]\n\n[i]Oh no.[/i] Was all Leo thought when realization hit him.\n\nAs a second later a heavy [i]thump[/i] echoed out confirming his attack had hit home. The sound was followed by the most high pitched ear splitting [i]yowl[/i] Leo had ever heard.\n\nNot that it lasted long, for it was shortly cut off by another louder [i]thud[/i] as the now unconscious Houndoom fell in a heap on the floor.\n\n[i]What had he done??[/i]\n\nAs Leo froze indecisively he suddenly noticed other noises coming from behind him. The blood rushing in Leo's ears having evidently blocked them out until now.\n\nVarious voices were coming from the Café entrance. Cries of surprise, screams of shock. [i]Ouch! Oof, Arceus! Is he alive? What a cheap shot!![/i]\n\nAnd then one undeniably familiar voice “That was awesome!”\n\nLeo turned his neck stiffly around to see a Vaporeon come skidding to a stop next to him.\n\n”Wow Leonard, I didn't take you for that kind of Pokemon! That was brutal!! You have bigger balls than I thought!” She exclaimed gleefully.\n\nLeo opened his mouth to reply “No.. I.. didn't mean to.. I mean.. Not.. like that..”\n\nShe didn't seem to listen however as she then skipped over to the Houndoom.\n\nHe was fully unconscious and quite ineloquently splayed on his side. His hind legs spread wide open, leaving his goods fully on display to the onlooking crowd.\n\nThis wouldn't have been anything unusual for a Pokemon except something about them looked a little [i]off[/i].\n\nA high pitched cackle then emanated from the Vaporeon who had come to a halt next to the Houndoom.\n\n”Speaking of [i]big balls[/i], look at these things! HAHAHA, they look like balloons!”\n\nAs attached to the mound of orange fur that made up the sheath containing the Houndoom’s member was a matching sack containing a pair of Houndoom orbs.\n\nOr at least it should have been matching. For there was an unmistakable tint of fleshy red showing through the bright orange fur that coated it which was only made more obvious by the fact that the concealed testicles were swollen to at least three times the size you'd expect them to be.\n\nThe sack that hung from between his legs looked huge and deformed, the scrotum clearly stretched taut as the shiny raw looking flesh shone through the thin coating of fur.\n\nLeo watched as a blue Vaporeon forepaw reached out and squeezed one of the inflated orbs.\n\n”Oh my god, they actually feel like water balloons too HAHAHA..” She exclaimed as she started to play with them, making them actually jiggle in a way that testicles very much shouldn't be able to..\n\nA heavy sigh then came from behind Leo “Okay Rain Flower that's quite enough I think.”\n\nLeo looked up as a Ninetales padded past him.\n\n”This guy was a total jerk, he deserves it!” She gave the swollen orbs another poke causing them to wobble and bounce some more, making her break out in another giggle.\n\nFirenze sighed again “Be that as it may, I don't think it is very professional to tease the injured, no matter who they may be.”\n\nRain Flower gave the Houndoom testicles one last swat of a paw, making them jiggle once again before finally relenting with a “[i]Pft[/i] Fine...”\n\n”Thank you Rain Flower. Now would you mind going and fetching Jack?” The Ninetales asked patiently.\n\n”What for?” Rain Flower questioned him as she turned and padded back towards the Ninetales. Leo noticing what he was sure was an intentional final flick of her tail against the Houndooms inflated orbs as she did.\n\n”We will need to move him to the sick bay and unfortunately Minerva's telekinesis isn't going to work on a Dark type. Jack should be able to carry him there.” He explained reasonably.\n\n”Why should we take this asshole to the sick bay? He deserved what he got.” Rain Flower argued.\n\n”We may not be under any obligation to treat him, but having an unconcious injured Pokemon on our doorstep isn't a very good look for business.”\n\n”I will make the appropriate calls to have him transferred to a clinic. In the meantime can you please ask Jack to escort him to the sick bay?” Firenze repeated his request calmly once more.\n\n”Alright alright....” grumbled Rain Flower before she skipped back off into the Café.\n\nFirenze signed yet again and then turned to face Leo.\n\nLeo stiffened, the gaze of the Ninetales despite having not a hint of malice was far more intimidating than that of the Houndoom. Though not for fear, but shame.\n\nHe forced himself to raise his head and meet the deep red Ninetale's eyes before speaking “I must give you my most sincere apology.”\n\nLeo then bowed his head again, though this time in respect “I didn't mean to cause you or Café Plaisir any trouble.”\n\n”I know I stepped out of bounds, I am sure your staff could have dealt with it but I couldn't stand by and watch. I truly had hoped to deal with the matter peacefully.” he admitted honestly.\n\nThen, as he waited a few anxious seconds for the Ninetale's reply. To his utter surprise came a deep chuckle of laughter.\n\nAfter a moment the Ninetales composed himself “Ah, do excuse me. I was not quite expecting that.”\n\n”You need not apologize. I was watching the confrontation, at least from shortly after I heard this gentleman's rather vulgar choice of words echo into the Café.” the Ninetales explained amiably.\n\n”We were prepared to step in when necessary. In fact I was about ready to jump in when he started his charge, but I have to admit we were just as caught off guard by that attack as he was..” Firenze admitted.\n\nAt the word [i]we[/i] Leo looked around to see a much bigger crowd than he had expected bustling around the Café's entrance. Many of the group who had just entered had come back out to see what the fuss was about, as had some of the earlier guests and staff members including a somewhat agitated looking Lopunny being watched over by a stoic as ever looking Gardevoir.\n\nHe couldn't help but flush. Had they all watched the entire thing? Seen what a fumbling mess he had make of it?[/i]\n\n”Was that a stone edge?” I didn't think Growlithe could learn such a move.” the Ninetales then asked, distracting him from his thoughts.\n\n”Oh, yes it was, I'm a rare breed who is Rock and Fire type.” Leo confirmed.\n\n”[i]Ahh[/i] that explains it. Well I suppose I can't blame him for not seeing [i]that[/i] coming then.” Firenze commented suppressing his own amused snort.\n\nFor this was what had happened when the Houndoom had charged.\n\nLeo had held his ground as he focused his aura, but rather than building it up within himself like he would when producing a Flamethower he'd channelled it into the ground.\n\nHe had poured that aura through the earth and accumulated it into a specific spot in the Houndoom's path.\n\nThe idea had been to hit the Houndoom with a super effective Stone Edge which would hopefully end the fight in a single blow.\n\nLeo had held back significantly as not to properly injure the Houndoom and had carefully timed his attack so he would hit him squarely in the stomach in hopes he would wind him and effectively stop him from continuing the fight.\n\nHowever it seemed he had miscalculated two things.\n\nFirst was how the Houndoom had put on a sudden burst of speed at the last moment ruining the Growlithe's carefully planned attack.\n\nUnfortunately for the Houndoom he had not been fast enough to make it miss entirely. Instead of hitting him in the stomach the Stone Edge had nailed him directly in the [i]balls[/i].\n\n”I just couldn't understand why he rushed me like that.” Leo admitted thoughtfully “Houndoom are more skilled from a distance. As far as he knew he had the advantage. There was no reason to fight at close range.”\n\nThe Ninetales chuckled “Pride doesn't always follow logic. If I were to guess, I'd say he wanted to make a point. He said it himself didn't he? He wanted to prove to you how a [i]real male fights with tooth and claw[/i]. A rather vulgar way of seeing things If I do say so myself but I know many would share his sentiment.”\n\n”I think the fact you stared him down without flinching hurt his pride. He probably has grown used to those around him following his orders through fear. Seeing a, pardon my words here but a mere Growlithe facing him down without a lick of fear probably only frustrated him all the more.” He went on.\n\nLeo nodded. [i]so that was it.[/i] He had been looking at the fight so practically. He hadn't even considered taking emotion into account. He may have won the fight, but this only emphasised the fact he was truly inexperienced in battle.\n\n”Getting emotional in battle can be quite dangerous as he demonstrated most effectively. If he had played to the strengths of his species like you said, he probably never would have been hit directly by such as attack.” Firenze continued.\n\n”Then when he sped up at the last moment?” Leo asked, understanding now dawning.\n\n”I do not believe he foresaw your attack. No, I think that when he charged and saw you still stand your ground, his rage only grew. Causing him to rush in faster which ultimately sealed his fate by making your attack, as they say [i]hit him where it hurts.[/i]” He ended with a slight grimace.\n\n”I suppose it was a mercy in a way that he wasn't particularly strong, he passed out quite quickly.” He then added with another poorly suppressed smirk.\n\nFor that had been Leo's second miscalculation. Despite holding back, he had still greatly underestimated the strength difference between them. His attack would not have simply winded him but most certainly would've knocked him out regardless of where it hit.\n\nThe fact it hit him point-blank in his manhood.. Leo flinched at the thought. Not simply imagining the pain the Houndoom must have felt in that brief moment before he completely passed out but because he was ashamed he hadn't been more careful. He hoped there was no lasting damage..\n\nHe had always been more wary of the dangers of his fire moves, but this went to show any ability could be dangerous. Maybe Stone Edge had been a poor choice. There was also the fact that although the rock had retreated into the ground he had left quite a blemish in the otherwise neat path.\n\nLeo felt awful.\n\n”It is not uncommon to see unruly guests here, it is only a matter of dealing with them promptly and efficiently, which I can honestly say you did. Café Plaisir owes you our thanks.” Firenze interjected his thoughts once more.\n\nLeo didn't feel convinced. [i]Surely he could have dealt with it better?[/i]\n\n”Sometimes things can't be settled with words. Sometimes things can get a little chaotic, especially when it comes to Pokemon.” Firenze went on “In fact, given our track record, coming away without any damage to the Café itself is frankly an unexpected bonus.”\n\nThe Ninetales looked perfectly serious when he said this. [i]Just what has this Café had to deal with in the past?[/i] Leo couldn't help but wonder.\n\n”Regardless, we appreciate you dealing with this, even if it didn't quite go how you intended.” the Ninetales ended with a smile.\n\nThe words seemed genuine, making Leo feel a bit better as he nodded shyly.\n\nThen suddenly another loud bellowing voice broke the tension “Alright, what troublemaker is it I'm having to lug to the sick bay now?”\n\nFirenze turned to face the newcomer, “That would be him, Jack.” Firenze addressed him, pointing a few of his majestic tails towards the sorry looking crumpled form of the Houndoom.\n\nThe large Typhlosion gave them a look and scoffed “Reckon he's likely to cause more trouble?” Jack asked.\n\n”I don't think he's likely to wake up any time soon, but it may be best to post a guard until I can arrange someone to come and collect him.” the Ninetales responded.\n\n”A'right..” The Typhlosion grunted before striding over to the Houndoom. He eyed him for a moment but didn't comment on the unusual state he had been left in. He simply just bent down and unceremoniously heaved the Houndoom over his shoulder.\n\nLeo couldn't help but cringe as he saw the inflated orbs [i]squelch[/i] as he was flung against the Typhlosion's back. He wondered if the Typhlosion had done it on purpose.\n\nA familiar snort of laughter then came from the small Vaporeon who had led the Typhlosion outside. “HAHA! Yeah, those things are soooo gonna pop!”\n\nLeo winced at the thought. At least Rain Flower seemed to find the whole situation hilarious.\n\n”You sure are full of surprises Leonard!” she exclaimed before turning around and following the Typhlosion back towards the Café.\n\nAthough not before very much intentionally brushing that lopsided tail fin against his snout which she then raised high giving him a full view of her swaying hips as she padded away.\n\nLeo couldn't help but stare as she disappeared inside the Café, his mind once again returning to those thoughts that had been occupying him when he had initially come outside to air out.\n\nThis wasn't helped by the fact that in the now dispersing crowd, the majestic Pyroar that this had all started over was staring at him with a most curious expression.\n\nHe met her eyes for a moment and she smiled.\n\nOnce again he couldn't help but marvel at her sleek but toned muscular form. She was quite a stunning specimen of her species, and given her aura quite a powerful one too.\n\nHe couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't tried to fight back herself.\n\n”I see you got some fresh air then?” came a voice interrupting his thoughts yet again making him pull his gaze from the Pyroar.\n\nAden had appeared from the back of the now dispersing crowd and walked over to him.\n\n”Having quite the eventful weekend aren't you?” He asked teasingly with a smile “You're not hurt are you?”\n\nLeo shook his head “No I'm fine..”\n\nLeo had no idea how much Aden had seen but thankfully, considerate as ever, he didn't press him further on the subject.\n\nInstead he pulled out a key-card from the satchel he wore around his neck.\n\nHe waved it at the Growlithe “Then maybe you should take a rest in your room for a while.”\n\n[i]Now that[/i] sounded like a fantastic idea.\n\nLeo let out a huge yawn as he suddenly realized just how tired he was. He had woken up early after barely sleeping due to his nerves of the day ahead and had since been both physically and mentally drained.\n\nThe promise of a soft bed sounded wonderful.\n\n”I think I will...” He agreed.\n\nThankfully they had all booked rooms on the ground floor and after a short walk into the Café he was already at his door.\n\nAden unlocked the door and led him inside. Leo looked around the room without really taking anything in. His eyes were only for the bed.\n\nHe hadn't even noticed the dozing form of the Houndoom resting on the couch.\n\n”I'll leave you to rest then.” Aden said as he turned to leave, giving the Houndoom a slightly nervous glance as if unsure whether to leave the two together.\n\nIn the end he seemed to think things would work out as he shrugged before turning to leave.\n\nLeo called out a tired “Thanks Aden”. just as the door clicked shut behind him.\n\nLeo now with the feel of soft bedding beneath him felt a renewed wave of sleepiness wash over him.\n\nThe bedding swam with stories of its history. Under the heavy fragranced detergent it must have been washed in was the unmistakable telltale notes of its many uses.\n\nHis keen Growlithe nose able to pick up many of the subtle notes of these past exploits. If he were alert he probably could have sniffed out the last ten or twenty guests that had used the room.\n\nAs it were he was already halfway in a doze but there were a few that he found absent mindedly, perhaps due to his recent interactions he noted a sharp tang of Ninetales baked into the sheets. There was also a more subtle linger of Vaporeon...\n\nAbove all of these was of course the much fresher aroma of Houndoom that the dozing Growlithe still had yet to notice was wafting from the other side of the room where Eli lay.\n\nSo with thoughts of Ninetales and by extension Vulpix, Vaporeon and of course Houndoom Leo fell into a deep sleep which was most certainly going to be filled with some rather depraved dreams.\n\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><div class='align_center'>Chapter 4 &ndash; Leo&rsquo;s Lesson</div></strong><br /><br />Leo followed his Charmeleon friend out of the Spa as they began their trek back towards Captivate.<br /><br />He trailed behind Aden distractedly, his eyes distant as he tried to shake off the wave of wariness that still lingered in his head.<br /><br />It wasn&#039;t merely water fatigue from his unintentionally long bath, their stint in the sauna had helped him refreshed him quite a lot in that regard. No this was more him still coming to terms with the other events of the day.<br /><br />Namely his surprise encounter and subsequent spontaneous mating session with his idol Zara, the seemingly random ambush of a certain Vaporeon during his bath and perhaps most of all thoughts of his Houndoom friend Eli lingered in his mind.<br /><br />He mused over such thoughts as he padded in the Charmeleon&#039;s wake, not really paying attention to where they were going until they had evidently walked down a flight of stairs and into the Main Bar.<br /><br />The buzz of noise made the Growlithe&#039;s ears twitch inattentively but it wasn&#039;t until they were about half way through the bar when he actually walked head first into the Charmeleon that he seemed to wake from his stupor.<br /><br />&rdquo;Sorry Leo, are you okay?&rdquo; Aden asked turning back to him.<br /><br />Leo gave a slow sheepish nod &ldquo;I&#039;m fine, it was my fault. I wasn&#039;t paying attention, sorry Aden.&rdquo;<br /><br />He then looked around to see the reason the Charmeleon had stopped in the first place, it seemed a new group were making their way into the main bar causing a bit of congestion.<br /><br />It seemed the place was only going to get busier as evening approached. Realizing this, Leo shook his head not quite ready for the even louder, brightly lit special bar.<br /><br />&rdquo;I think I&#039;ll go to get a little fresh air, I&#039;ll catch you up Aden.&rdquo; Leo said decidedly.<br /><br />&rdquo;Oh alright, want me to come with you?&rdquo; Aden asked.<br /><br />Leo shook his head &ldquo;I&#039;ll be fine.&rdquo; He just wanted to take a short walk by himself to try and clear his head a little.<br /><br />&rdquo;Alright, we&#039;ll be back in Captivate then.&rdquo; The Charmeleon answered with a wave as he started manoeuvring himself through the crowd and out the opposite door.<br /><br />Leo turned and headed towards the entranceway, passing the Lopunny who was greeting the newcomers excitedly before sliding outside where he was hit by a surprisingly refreshing breeze of fresh air.<br /><br />He took a deep breath, immediately feeling more relaxed.<br /><br />He padded over to some grass and sat down with a yawn as he watched the last of the group entering the Caf&eacute;. Pokemon and human alike passed by in what he assumed was another bus route drop off.<br /><br />He watched the sizable crowd thin out until only a few remained, his gaze lingering on one in particular, a rather beautiful looking female Pyroar.<br /><br />She had a lithe but well toned build. her fur sleek and well kept. The long flow of red and yellow fur flowing from her head was beautiful and vibrant, it was clear she took good care of it.<br /><br />He suddenly felt a bit subconscious of his own mane and the lack of care he generally gave it and for once actually felt glad he had actually given it a proper wash.<br /><br />Like him, she wore no clothes other than a small satchel but she did have a beautiful flower tucked behind her left ear. He couldn&#039;t quite tell if it was real or just ornamental but the beautiful petals matched the vivid yellow and red of her mane perfectly. It was subtle but he had to admit it suited her well.<br /><br />As he observed her she suddenly stopped just short of the entrance and fell back behind the remaining stragglers until she was the only one still outside.<br /><br />For a moment Leo thought she had noticed him staring and stiffened up. To his relief however she didn&#039;t look in his direction but instead looked back towards the road where she had come.<br /><br />Leo followed her gaze but couldn&#039;t tell what she was looking at until he looked back towards her and saw her ears twitching. She was listening.<br /><br />Leo noticed a note of what looked like fear on her face and he wondered what she was afraid of. All he could hear from that direction was the buzz of traffic.<br /><br /><em>Wait, was it was getting louder?</em> No it wasn&#039;t traffic, it was just one vehicle and it was coming their way.<br /><br />He turned back towards the sound and saw a scooter barrelling off the road towards the Pyroar with no sign of stopping.<br /><br />She made no attempt to move but just stood stock still as she stared wide eyed at the oncoming vehicle.<br /><br />Leo stood up, <em>she wasn&#039;t going to move</em>. He wondered if he should tackle her out of the way, but before he could decide the scooter let out an ear-splitting squeak as the driver turned on the breaks hard. The bike then began to wobble a little as they began to lose control.<br /><br />Seeming to give up on it, the rider jumped clean off the scooter which fell on its side as it began to scrape across the ground. Barely missing the Pyroar, it showered her in a rain of sparks as it passed before gradually slowing to a stop a short distance behind her.<br /><br />The rider landed clumsily, almost falling over himself but somehow he managed to regain his balance as he found footing with all four of his paws only a few feet away from the still frozen Pyroar.<br /><br />It was a Houndoom and the expression on his face was thunderous, the air around him seemed to actually <em>simmer</em>, giving the hellhound Pokemon quite the terrifying appearance.<br /><br />&quot;Are you FUCKING serious Dahli?&quot; He suddenly spat venomously.<br /><br />&quot;I heard you were coming here but I didn&#039;t want to believe it! You seriously have the nerve to leave me and then come to a dump like this???&quot; He bellowed, taking slow angry steps forward as he continued.<br /><br />&quot;What, was I just not good enough for you? Are you actually suggesting you&#039;d find a better fuck at a cheap whorehouse like this??&rdquo;<br /><br />The Pyroar was staring at him, visibly shaking. She tried to answer but her voice came out hoarse and feebly compared to his &quot;I already told you, it&#039;s not like that Vex...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;BULLSHIT!&rdquo; He snarled &ldquo;It&#039;s been less than a day and you already can&#039;t wait to get your pussy wet with some male whore??&quot;<br /><br />He stepped forward again until he was almost nose to nose with her, His eyes were boring into her but she couldn&#039;t seem to meet them.<br /><br />&quot;LOOK AT ME WHEN I&#039;M TALKING TO YOU BITCH!&quot; he spat &quot;AND ANSWER ME DAMMIT, DID YOU SERIOUSLY COME HERE THINKING YOU COULD FIND A BETTER FUCK THAN ME???&quot;<br />She finally raised her head, Leo could see fear in her eyes but also a blaze of defiance too.<br /><br />&quot;I told you, it&#039;s not like that Vex!&quot; she blustered back.<br /><br />The Houndoom didn&#039;t seem to like that &quot;DON&#039;T LIE TO ME!&quot; he snapped back at her.<br /><br />Then in a sudden motion he flexed his legs and leaped forward.<br /><br />He twisted his neck with open jaws before closing them on the scruff of her neck. He made a movement to pull her back and for a moment it didn&#039;t look like it would work but those strong Pyroar muscles suddenly seemed to go limp as with a hefty heave he somehow managed to throw the bigger female onto the floor.<br /><br />Leo tensed as he watched her fall splayed on her side, it was too much. Before he knew what he was doing he had leapt onto the path behind where the Houndoom was already looming over the crumbled form of the Pyroar.<br /><br />&quot;Excuse me sir.&quot; Leo raised his voice loud enough for him to hear &quot;I think that&#039;s quite enough!&quot;<br /><br />The Houndoom stopped in his tracks and turned to face him.<br /><br />&quot;Huh? And <em>who</em> THE FUCK ARE YOU?&quot; he barked at Leo, clearly unhappy at being interrupted.<br /><br />Leo had to admit, the Houndoom&#039;s ferocious gaze, his body simmering with unrestrained fire and dark type aura was quite the terrifying sight.<br /><br />Houndoom had a rather intimidating appearance to begin with and their reputation was little better. If it hadn&#039;t been for him meeting Eli, who was far from such a stereotype, he knew he probably would have lost his nerve by now.<br /><br />Yet he didn&#039;t even flinch.<br /><br />&quot;My name is Leonard&quot; Leo dipped his head neatly, but not enough to break eye contact with the Houndoom &quot;I may not know what this is about but I think you need to calm down.&quot; Leo said solemnly.<br /><br />&quot;Oh, do I now?? And what makes you think THIS IS ANY OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS?&quot; the Houndoom retorted indignantly.<br /><br />&quot;You are right, this is not my business and I apologise for interrupting...&quot; Leo conceded.<br /><br />The Houndoom grunted as if he wanted to say more but instead seemed to think better of it as he started to turn back around apparently thinking that was the end of it but Leo continued.<br /><br />&quot;But you are acting quite irrationally, if you continue like this you are going to hurt her.&quot;<br /><br />The Houndoom looked dumbfounded at the Growlithe&rsquo;s audacity,&nbsp; evidently wondering if the proper sounding Growlithe was actually being serious.<br /><br />He actually laughed as he snapped his head back again &quot;And <em>so what if I do?</em>&quot; Are YOU going to do something to stop me?&quot;<br /><br />Leo frowned &quot;I&#039;d rather deal with this peacefully. You are clearly angry, if you step away until you are more in your right mind this can be resolved without any physical confrontation.&quot;<br /><br />He only cackled louder at this &quot;My <em>right mind</em>? Oh I am very much in my right mind!&quot;<br /><br />He threw his head back and looked back at the Pyroar.<br /><br />&quot;So Dahli, is this what you came here for? What do you think? Do you think this pompous pup can please you better than I can?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;N..No.. Vex, he has nothing to do with this! Leave him alone..&quot; she pleaded with him.<br /><br />&quot;Oh no, he&#039;s <em>plenty</em> involved now. I think he needs to be put in his place to learn when not to stick his nose where it isn&#039;t welcome.&quot; He sneered venomously.<br /><br />He returned his fierce gaze to Leo &quot;I&rsquo;ll give you credit for having the <em>balls</em> to face me.&rdquo;<br /><br />Then his incensed expression turned into a jeer &ldquo;If a <em>designer mutt</em> like you even has a working set to begin with!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What kind of Growlithe even are you anyway? Some crazy cross-breed who pumps out blanks? Or did your breeder remove them altogether?&rdquo;<br /><br />It was uncomfortable how close to home the Houndoom was hitting. Leo was an abandoned designer Pokemon bred to be sold to the upper class.<br /><br />That had been before the Liberation of course but Leo knew that despite there being a crackdown on such things it still happened.<br /><br />Breeding rings would force breed unique cross-breeds to sell to the upper class.<br /><br />it wasn&rsquo;t uncommon for sure results to end up sterile. Thankfully though he still had a very much healthy set of orbs, <em>albeit fairly drained given his day&rsquo;s exploits</em>.<br /><br />Naturally the Houndoom probably couldn&rsquo;t see them from his perspective as he looked down at the Growlithe smugly while continuing his insults.<br /><br />&rdquo;Is that why you snuck away from your master and crawled your way over to a whorehouse? So desperate to be a <em>real</em> male that you thought coming and dry humping a cheap slut might help you actually <em>feel</em> something?&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;Do you think if you stand up for this bitch that she&#039;ll fuck you? Do you seriously think <em>YOU</em> could satisfy her?&quot; he broke off in another bark of laughter.<br /><br />Despite all the insults, Leo remained calm and didn&rsquo;t take the bait. Instead he replied calmly, &quot;No, I have no such intention.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;HA! Sure you don&#039;t! I know what sort of shithole this place is, don&#039;t play dumb with me!&quot; he hissed as he braced his paws and lowered his stance.<br /><br />He gave the Growlithe a malicious grin as he blew out a lick of flame.<br /><br />This wasn&#039;t going how Leo had intended. He was still not very good at talking to strangers, he came off awkward and stiff.<br /><br />Still, he&#039;d hoped addressing him calmly would stop things escalating but this Houndoom was clearly beyond reason.<br /><br />&quot;I do not wish to fight you.&quot; Leo said coolly, giving one last attempt &quot;I believe we can still settle this with words.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;HA! Words are cheap, real males settle things with tooth and claw!&rdquo; the Houndoom demonstrated this by flexing one of his forepaws which was equipped with some rather dangerous looking claws.<br /><br />&quot;I think you are making a mistake...&quot; Leo pressed one last time.<br /><br />&rdquo;The mistake was yours for meddling in MY business!&rdquo; The Houndoom bellowed.<br /><br />Leo relented, clearly nothing he said would work on this Houndoom. He seemed intent on fighting with him, he may have to actually engage.<br /><br />His mind was surprisingly clear as he started to go over what he knew about Houndoom in his head. Thankfully he had studied them quite intently, only <em>partly</em> down to his interest in Eli..<br /><br />Houndoom<br />- A Dark and Fire type.<br />- Their most prominent abilities were their speed and ranged aura based attacks.<br />- The most typical moves they used were Flamethrower and Dark Pulse, the output of which could be bolstered further by Nasty Plot.<br /><br />Quite a dangerous opponent all in all, especially as when it really came down to it, Houndooms had Growlithe beat all around the board.<br /><br />This was all assuming he and the Houndoom were standing on a level playing field, but Leo knew they were not.<br /><br />He was not an experienced fighter. All his training had been under strict conditions where he could practice his moves in a perfectly safe environment. Sophie had always insisted on that.<br /><br />So while he had been taught to master control of his abilities to a high level, he had never used them in an actual battle.<br /><br />The closest thing he had ever had was some casual spars with Eli, but Leo knew she had always been holding back on him, as had he on the off chance he had actually managed to hurt her.<br /><br />He knew that despite her carefree exterior Eli had been a battle hardened Pokemon who would probably wipe the floor with Leo if she took it seriously.<br /><br />Yet while he was consciously aware of his lack of actual battle training, as he faced this Houndoom who surely had far more experience than him, he didn&#039;t feel afraid.<br /><br />In fact he was quite confused. This Houndoom seemed to be brimming with confidence, <em>but why?</em><br /><br />Even Leo had a vague ability to sense others strengths, that&#039;s how he knew he was no match for Eli.<br /><br />However, as he stared down this Houndoom, he knew he was not Eli, not even close.<br /><br /><em>He was weak.</em><br /><br />Leo may not have experience but he wasn&#039;t lacking in strength. Alongside his heavily monitored training, Sophie had obtained some very expensive vitamins to compensate his stats.<br /><br />So he was physically very strong, at least for a Growlithe. In fact if he chose to evolve he would quite likely be stronger than even Eli, on paper anyway.<br /><br />Still, he wasn&#039;t about to underestimate his first real opponent. If he was truly this confident, he may have something Leo was na&iuml;ve to that could give him the edge. He would have to be careful.<br /><br />&rdquo;HAHA&rdquo; The Houndoom began to cackle again &ldquo;Are you seriously going to try and fight me then? What are you going to do? Send a little Growlithe Ember at me? I dare you to throw one of your puny fire attacks at me!&rdquo; he broke off in another snort of laughter.<br /><br />Leo didn&#039;t reply. <em>Well that ruled out fire moves</em>. He could have been bluffing, but he was most likely a Flash Fire user which not only made them immune to fire but actively boosted their own fire type aura.<br /><br />Not that fire would have been very effective to begin with. That was probably why the Houndoom was so confident, Growlithes didn&#039;t have much else to get by offensively without their fire.<br /><br /><em>At least most didn&#039;t..</em><br /><br />The Houndoom took a single, what he probably thought was an intimidating step forward.<br /><br />For a fraction of a second his confident expression wavered as Leo gave not the slightest reaction. Then it returned to a smug but somewhat frustrated smirk.<br /><br />&rdquo;Alright pup, have it your way!&rdquo; he bellowed once more.<br /><br />Leo simply blinked at him as he contemplated the Houndoom&#039;s potential method of attack.<br /><br /><em>He probably won&#039;t use Flamethrower, it won&#039;t be very effective plus he probably assumes I&#039;m a Flash Fire user as well. In that case he&#039;ll likely keep his distance and use Dark Pulse. There should be no reason for him to try and get close.</em><br /><br />Then as if to contradict Leo&#039;s train of thought, the Houndoom suddenly charged directly at him.<br /><br />For the first time, Leo&#039;s expression faltered. <em>What was he planning?</em><br /><br />There was no time to overthink things. Leo straightened up and began to focus. If he did this right he could end the fight quickly and efficiently with as little harm as he could manage.<br /><br />He braced his legs and began to channel his aura.<br /><br />He just had to time it right. He analysed the Houndoom&#039;s speed and calculated just when to release his attack.<br /><br />Tense seconds passed, the Houndoom had almost crossed half the distance between them. He was almost at the spot he wanted him.<br /><br /><em>That&#039;s it!</em> Leo narrowed his eyes in concentration and released his aura.<br /><br />But as he did, the Houndoom suddenly put on a renewed burst of speed.<br /><br /><em>Had he sensed his attack?</em><br /><br />It was too late to change trajectory. <em>Was he going to miss?</em><br /><br /><em>Oh no.</em> Was all Leo thought when realization hit him.<br /><br />As a second later a heavy <em>thump</em> echoed out confirming his attack had hit home. The sound was followed by the most high pitched ear splitting <em>yowl</em> Leo had ever heard.<br /><br />Not that it lasted long, for it was shortly cut off by another louder <em>thud</em> as the now unconscious Houndoom fell in a heap on the floor.<br /><br /><em>What had he done??</em><br /><br />As Leo froze indecisively he suddenly noticed other noises coming from behind him. The blood rushing in Leo&#039;s ears having evidently blocked them out until now.<br /><br />Various voices were coming from the Caf&eacute; entrance. Cries of surprise, screams of shock. <em>Ouch! Oof, Arceus! Is he alive? What a cheap shot!!</em><br /><br />And then one undeniably familiar voice &ldquo;That was awesome!&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo turned his neck stiffly around to see a Vaporeon come skidding to a stop next to him.<br /><br />&rdquo;Wow Leonard, I didn&#039;t take you for that kind of Pokemon! That was brutal!! You have bigger balls than I thought!&rdquo; She exclaimed gleefully.<br /><br />Leo opened his mouth to reply &ldquo;No.. I.. didn&#039;t mean to.. I mean.. Not.. like that..&rdquo;<br /><br />She didn&#039;t seem to listen however as she then skipped over to the Houndoom.<br /><br />He was fully unconscious and quite ineloquently splayed on his side. His hind legs spread wide open, leaving his goods fully on display to the onlooking crowd.<br /><br />This wouldn&#039;t have been anything unusual for a Pokemon except something about them looked a little <em>off</em>.<br /><br />A high pitched cackle then emanated from the Vaporeon who had come to a halt next to the Houndoom.<br /><br />&rdquo;Speaking of <em>big balls</em>, look at these things! HAHAHA, they look like balloons!&rdquo;<br /><br />As attached to the mound of orange fur that made up the sheath containing the Houndoom&rsquo;s member was a matching sack containing a pair of Houndoom orbs.<br /><br />Or at least it should have been matching. For there was an unmistakable tint of fleshy red showing through the bright orange fur that coated it which was only made more obvious by the fact that the concealed testicles were swollen to at least three times the size you&#039;d expect them to be.<br /><br />The sack that hung from between his legs looked huge and deformed, the scrotum clearly stretched taut as the shiny raw looking flesh shone through the thin coating of fur.<br /><br />Leo watched as a blue Vaporeon forepaw reached out and squeezed one of the inflated orbs.<br /><br />&rdquo;Oh my god, they actually feel like water balloons too HAHAHA..&rdquo; She exclaimed as she started to play with them, making them actually jiggle in a way that testicles very much shouldn&#039;t be able to..<br /><br />A heavy sigh then came from behind Leo &ldquo;Okay Rain Flower that&#039;s quite enough I think.&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo looked up as a Ninetales padded past him.<br /><br />&rdquo;This guy was a total jerk, he deserves it!&rdquo; She gave the swollen orbs another poke causing them to wobble and bounce some more, making her break out in another giggle.<br /><br />Firenze sighed again &ldquo;Be that as it may, I don&#039;t think it is very professional to tease the injured, no matter who they may be.&rdquo;<br /><br />Rain Flower gave the Houndoom testicles one last swat of a paw, making them jiggle once again before finally relenting with a &ldquo;<em>Pft</em> Fine...&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;Thank you Rain Flower. Now would you mind going and fetching Jack?&rdquo; The Ninetales asked patiently.<br /><br />&rdquo;What for?&rdquo; Rain Flower questioned him as she turned and padded back towards the Ninetales. Leo noticing what he was sure was an intentional final flick of her tail against the Houndooms inflated orbs as she did.<br /><br />&rdquo;We will need to move him to the sick bay and unfortunately Minerva&#039;s telekinesis isn&#039;t going to work on a Dark type. Jack should be able to carry him there.&rdquo; He explained reasonably.<br /><br />&rdquo;Why should we take this asshole to the sick bay? He deserved what he got.&rdquo; Rain Flower argued.<br /><br />&rdquo;We may not be under any obligation to treat him, but having an unconcious injured Pokemon on our doorstep isn&#039;t a very good look for business.&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;I will make the appropriate calls to have him transferred to a clinic. In the meantime can you please ask Jack to escort him to the sick bay?&rdquo; Firenze repeated his request calmly once more.<br /><br />&rdquo;Alright alright....&rdquo; grumbled Rain Flower before she skipped back off into the Caf&eacute;.<br /><br />Firenze signed yet again and then turned to face Leo.<br /><br />Leo stiffened, the gaze of the Ninetales despite having not a hint of malice was far more intimidating than that of the Houndoom. Though not for fear, but shame.<br /><br />He forced himself to raise his head and meet the deep red Ninetale&#039;s eyes before speaking &ldquo;I must give you my most sincere apology.&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo then bowed his head again, though this time in respect &ldquo;I didn&#039;t mean to cause you or Caf&eacute; Plaisir any trouble.&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;I know I stepped out of bounds, I am sure your staff could have dealt with it but I couldn&#039;t stand by and watch. I truly had hoped to deal with the matter peacefully.&rdquo; he admitted honestly.<br /><br />Then, as he waited a few anxious seconds for the Ninetale&#039;s reply. To his utter surprise came a deep chuckle of laughter.<br /><br />After a moment the Ninetales composed himself &ldquo;Ah, do excuse me. I was not quite expecting that.&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;You need not apologize. I was watching the confrontation, at least from shortly after I heard this gentleman&#039;s rather vulgar choice of words echo into the Caf&eacute;.&rdquo; the Ninetales explained amiably.<br /><br />&rdquo;We were prepared to step in when necessary. In fact I was about ready to jump in when he started his charge, but I have to admit we were just as caught off guard by that attack as he was..&rdquo; Firenze admitted.<br /><br />At the word <em>we</em> Leo looked around to see a much bigger crowd than he had expected bustling around the Caf&eacute;&#039;s entrance. Many of the group who had just entered had come back out to see what the fuss was about, as had some of the earlier guests and staff members including a somewhat agitated looking Lopunny being watched over by a stoic as ever looking Gardevoir.<br /><br />He couldn&#039;t help but flush. Had they all watched the entire thing? Seen what a fumbling mess he had make of it?[/i]<br /><br />&rdquo;Was that a stone edge?&rdquo; I didn&#039;t think Growlithe could learn such a move.&rdquo; the Ninetales then asked, distracting him from his thoughts.<br /><br />&rdquo;Oh, yes it was, I&#039;m a rare breed who is Rock and Fire type.&rdquo; Leo confirmed.<br /><br />&rdquo;<em>Ahh</em> that explains it. Well I suppose I can&#039;t blame him for not seeing <em>that</em> coming then.&rdquo; Firenze commented suppressing his own amused snort.<br /><br />For this was what had happened when the Houndoom had charged.<br /><br />Leo had held his ground as he focused his aura, but rather than building it up within himself like he would when producing a Flamethower he&#039;d channelled it into the ground.<br /><br />He had poured that aura through the earth and accumulated it into a specific spot in the Houndoom&#039;s path.<br /><br />The idea had been to hit the Houndoom with a super effective Stone Edge which would hopefully end the fight in a single blow.<br /><br />Leo had held back significantly as not to properly injure the Houndoom and had carefully timed his attack so he would hit him squarely in the stomach in hopes he would wind him and effectively stop him from continuing the fight.<br /><br />However it seemed he had miscalculated two things.<br /><br />First was how the Houndoom had put on a sudden burst of speed at the last moment ruining the Growlithe&#039;s carefully planned attack.<br /><br />Unfortunately for the Houndoom he had not been fast enough to make it miss entirely. Instead of hitting him in the stomach the Stone Edge had nailed him directly in the <em>balls</em>.<br /><br />&rdquo;I just couldn&#039;t understand why he rushed me like that.&rdquo; Leo admitted thoughtfully &ldquo;Houndoom are more skilled from a distance. As far as he knew he had the advantage. There was no reason to fight at close range.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Ninetales chuckled &ldquo;Pride doesn&#039;t always follow logic. If I were to guess, I&#039;d say he wanted to make a point. He said it himself didn&#039;t he? He wanted to prove to you how a <em>real male fights with tooth and claw</em>. A rather vulgar way of seeing things If I do say so myself but I know many would share his sentiment.&rdquo;<br /><br />&rdquo;I think the fact you stared him down without flinching hurt his pride. He probably has grown used to those around him following his orders through fear. Seeing a, pardon my words here but a mere Growlithe facing him down without a lick of fear probably only frustrated him all the more.&rdquo; He went on.<br /><br />Leo nodded. <em>so that was it.</em> He had been looking at the fight so practically. He hadn&#039;t even considered taking emotion into account. He may have won the fight, but this only emphasised the fact he was truly inexperienced in battle.<br /><br />&rdquo;Getting emotional in battle can be quite dangerous as he demonstrated most effectively. If he had played to the strengths of his species like you said, he probably never would have been hit directly by such as attack.&rdquo; Firenze continued.<br /><br />&rdquo;Then when he sped up at the last moment?&rdquo; Leo asked, understanding now dawning.<br /><br />&rdquo;I do not believe he foresaw your attack. No, I think that when he charged and saw you still stand your ground, his rage only grew. Causing him to rush in faster which ultimately sealed his fate by making your attack, as they say <em>hit him where it hurts.</em>&rdquo; He ended with a slight grimace.<br /><br />&rdquo;I suppose it was a mercy in a way that he wasn&#039;t particularly strong, he passed out quite quickly.&rdquo; He then added with another poorly suppressed smirk.<br /><br />For that had been Leo&#039;s second miscalculation. Despite holding back, he had still greatly underestimated the strength difference between them. His attack would not have simply winded him but most certainly would&#039;ve knocked him out regardless of where it hit.<br /><br />The fact it hit him point-blank in his manhood.. Leo flinched at the thought. Not simply imagining the pain the Houndoom must have felt in that brief moment before he completely passed out but because he was ashamed he hadn&#039;t been more careful. He hoped there was no lasting damage..<br /><br />He had always been more wary of the dangers of his fire moves, but this went to show any ability could be dangerous. Maybe Stone Edge had been a poor choice. There was also the fact that although the rock had retreated into the ground he had left quite a blemish in the otherwise neat path.<br /><br />Leo felt awful.<br /><br />&rdquo;It is not uncommon to see unruly guests here, it is only a matter of dealing with them promptly and efficiently, which I can honestly say you did. Caf&eacute; Plaisir owes you our thanks.&rdquo; Firenze interjected his thoughts once more.<br /><br />Leo didn&#039;t feel convinced. <em>Surely he could have dealt with it better?</em><br /><br />&rdquo;Sometimes things can&#039;t be settled with words. Sometimes things can get a little chaotic, especially when it comes to Pokemon.&rdquo; Firenze went on &ldquo;In fact, given our track record, coming away without any damage to the Caf&eacute; itself is frankly an unexpected bonus.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Ninetales looked perfectly serious when he said this. <em>Just what has this Caf&eacute; had to deal with in the past?</em> Leo couldn&#039;t help but wonder.<br /><br />&rdquo;Regardless, we appreciate you dealing with this, even if it didn&#039;t quite go how you intended.&rdquo; the Ninetales ended with a smile.<br /><br />The words seemed genuine, making Leo feel a bit better as he nodded shyly.<br /><br />Then suddenly another loud bellowing voice broke the tension &ldquo;Alright, what troublemaker is it I&#039;m having to lug to the sick bay now?&rdquo;<br /><br />Firenze turned to face the newcomer, &ldquo;That would be him, Jack.&rdquo; Firenze addressed him, pointing a few of his majestic tails towards the sorry looking crumpled form of the Houndoom.<br /><br />The large Typhlosion gave them a look and scoffed &ldquo;Reckon he&#039;s likely to cause more trouble?&rdquo; Jack asked.<br /><br />&rdquo;I don&#039;t think he&#039;s likely to wake up any time soon, but it may be best to post a guard until I can arrange someone to come and collect him.&rdquo; the Ninetales responded.<br /><br />&rdquo;A&#039;right..&rdquo; The Typhlosion grunted before striding over to the Houndoom. He eyed him for a moment but didn&#039;t comment on the unusual state he had been left in. He simply just bent down and unceremoniously heaved the Houndoom over his shoulder.<br /><br />Leo couldn&#039;t help but cringe as he saw the inflated orbs <em>squelch</em> as he was flung against the Typhlosion&#039;s back. He wondered if the Typhlosion had done it on purpose.<br /><br />A familiar snort of laughter then came from the small Vaporeon who had led the Typhlosion outside. &ldquo;HAHA! Yeah, those things are soooo gonna pop!&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo winced at the thought. At least Rain Flower seemed to find the whole situation hilarious.<br /><br />&rdquo;You sure are full of surprises Leonard!&rdquo; she exclaimed before turning around and following the Typhlosion back towards the Caf&eacute;.<br /><br />Athough not before very much intentionally brushing that lopsided tail fin against his snout which she then raised high giving him a full view of her swaying hips as she padded away.<br /><br />Leo couldn&#039;t help but stare as she disappeared inside the Caf&eacute;, his mind once again returning to those thoughts that had been occupying him when he had initially come outside to air out.<br /><br />This wasn&#039;t helped by the fact that in the now dispersing crowd, the majestic Pyroar that this had all started over was staring at him with a most curious expression.<br /><br />He met her eyes for a moment and she smiled.<br /><br />Once again he couldn&#039;t help but marvel at her sleek but toned muscular form. She was quite a stunning specimen of her species, and given her aura quite a powerful one too.<br /><br />He couldn&#039;t help but wonder why she hadn&#039;t tried to fight back herself.<br /><br />&rdquo;I see you got some fresh air then?&rdquo; came a voice interrupting his thoughts yet again making him pull his gaze from the Pyroar.<br /><br />Aden had appeared from the back of the now dispersing crowd and walked over to him.<br /><br />&rdquo;Having quite the eventful weekend aren&#039;t you?&rdquo; He asked teasingly with a smile &ldquo;You&#039;re not hurt are you?&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo shook his head &ldquo;No I&#039;m fine..&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo had no idea how much Aden had seen but thankfully, considerate as ever, he didn&#039;t press him further on the subject.<br /><br />Instead he pulled out a key-card from the satchel he wore around his neck.<br /><br />He waved it at the Growlithe &ldquo;Then maybe you should take a rest in your room for a while.&rdquo;<br /><br /><em>Now that</em> sounded like a fantastic idea.<br /><br />Leo let out a huge yawn as he suddenly realized just how tired he was. He had woken up early after barely sleeping due to his nerves of the day ahead and had since been both physically and mentally drained.<br /><br />The promise of a soft bed sounded wonderful.<br /><br />&rdquo;I think I will...&rdquo; He agreed.<br /><br />Thankfully they had all booked rooms on the ground floor and after a short walk into the Caf&eacute; he was already at his door.<br /><br />Aden unlocked the door and led him inside. Leo looked around the room without really taking anything in. His eyes were only for the bed.<br /><br />He hadn&#039;t even noticed the dozing form of the Houndoom resting on the couch.<br /><br />&rdquo;I&#039;ll leave you to rest then.&rdquo; Aden said as he turned to leave, giving the Houndoom a slightly nervous glance as if unsure whether to leave the two together.<br /><br />In the end he seemed to think things would work out as he shrugged before turning to leave.<br /><br />Leo called out a tired &ldquo;Thanks Aden&rdquo;. just as the door clicked shut behind him.<br /><br />Leo now with the feel of soft bedding beneath him felt a renewed wave of sleepiness wash over him.<br /><br />The bedding swam with stories of its history. Under the heavy fragranced detergent it must have been washed in was the unmistakable telltale notes of its many uses.<br /><br />His keen Growlithe nose able to pick up many of the subtle notes of these past exploits. If he were alert he probably could have sniffed out the last ten or twenty guests that had used the room.<br /><br />As it were he was already halfway in a doze but there were a few that he found absent mindedly, perhaps due to his recent interactions he noted a sharp tang of Ninetales baked into the sheets. There was also a more subtle linger of Vaporeon...<br /><br />Above all of these was of course the much fresher aroma of Houndoom that the dozing Growlithe still had yet to notice was wafting from the other side of the room where Eli lay.<br /><br />So with thoughts of Ninetales and by extension Vulpix, Vaporeon and of course Houndoom Leo fell into a deep sleep which was most certainly going to be filled with some rather depraved dreams.<br /><br /></span>",
