"Ladies and gentleman, welcome back to the JRC '17. We've just witnessed the biggest upset of the tournament thus far with Frahzen knocking out Demi in the Quarter-Finals." The announcer's voice boomed through the stadium to the cheers and shouts from the buzzing stadium-goers.

    "And what a spectacular match it was. After Demi's Absol managed to go 2-0 against Frahzen's Electabuzz and Magmar, his Scyther swiped the victory against Absol, Masquerain, and Jynx." The second announcer's voice joined in as the pair appeared on the large monitors in their blue blazers at the desk.

    "Jamison, where do you think Demi's loss came from? She's been such a powerhouse this tournament being the runner-up last year, and taking out 2015 and 2016 winners Cairo and Santos."

    "Well Fletch, being favored to win the tournament doesn't make you undefeatable as we just saw. Her overconfidence might have cost her the victory. Absol just barely defeated Magmar, but she could have switched to Jynx instead of trying to have Absol finish out the match."

    "Agreed, though we can't discount what Frahzen was able to do either. He coached remarkably and his Scyther was able to execute nearly flawless moves to seal a win."

    The entire stadium was cheering and raving as a few replays of the match between Frahzen and Demi played on the large screens hanging from the interior of the stadium. People wore gear from their favorite participants in the tournament and pennants flew back and forth bearing the name, or nickname, of the contestants.

    "Well, on to our next match. 2016 Quarterfinalist, Kaynem, from Sunnyshore. His team features Luxray, Infernape, and Lopunny. He's been training since he was twelve, and got his first badge from the Sunnyshore City Gym at fourteen."

    Cheers erupted from all over the stadium as Kaynem's face was displayed on the screen as he entered from one of the tunnels. He was short for his age, nearly nineteen, and golden skin from growing up near the beach and spending a lot of his time outside. He had long, dirty-blond hair that was held back in a ponytail and big, brown eyes. He had yet to grow any facial hair, and looked all the younger for it.

    Kaynem tried to look tough and resolute, though it was difficult with his young face. He knew, too, that though the crowd cheered and applauded, almost none of the pennants or banners were for him. He wasn't a big name in the pkSports industry, and had only competed in two tournaments before the Johto Regional Cup last year, and neither were title-winners. All the same, it felt good to have a crowd cheering as he entered.

    "And," Jamison, one of the announcers, continued. "At the opposite end, from Fuchsia, we have Lessan, one of the 2016 semi-finalists, and winner of the 2017 Hoenn Winter League. Today he brings with him Ampharos, Clefable, and Charizard. He grew up helping out in the Safari Zone, and began entering tournaments when he was sixteen."

    Lessan strode forward, chin held high as people shouted and cheered. More than a few pennants waved in the air bearing the green and red of his signature colors with his name embroidered in black. He'd gotten popular since his big win in the tournament earlier in the year, and his face had appeared on a few magazines around Kanto, especially. 

    He was a year younger than Kaynem, and a good head taller. He had smooth, white skin and blue eyes. His hair was jet black and stylishly untidy. Both he and Kaynem were wearing black shorts with their own, personalized jersey. Lessan with number 81, and a jersey of green and red, Kaynem's with the number 25 in red and gold.

    Lessan had high cheekbones and a strong chin and was something of a favorite among the younger girls who followed pkSports. He took his spot at the end of the battlefield, staring across the dark stadium to the other spotlight where Kaynem was standing. 

    Kaynem couldn't see his face from this distance, but the large screen showed the older boy wink at him, baring his teeth in a wolfish grin. Kaynem was glad that he wasn't on screen as his cheeks turned scarlet in response. They'd met the previous year at the 2016 JRC, and had stayed in loose contact since then, talking, flirting, and meeting up on occasion to battle or just hang out.

    A woman in referee outfit walked to the center of the large field, a spotlight following her until she was standing in the middle. Both Lessan and Kaynem took their cue and walked forward from the edges until they were standing in the center ring, designated by the pokeball painted on the stone field. 

    "Alright, you two know the rules. Lessan, you placed higher in last year's JRC so you get to call the coin toss," she said, producing a two-sided coin from her pocket. It was emblazoned with a pokeball on one side and JRC '17 on the opposite, and was one of the items in the little swag-bags that all contestants got for entering.

    Lessan glanced over at Kaynem, flashing him another grin. "Alright then. I choose heads," he said, eyes on the boy with golden, tan skin. 

    Kaynem felt his cheeks heating up and he turned his gaze back on the referee. She flipped the coin up into the air, the stadium lights glinting off the metallic sheen. It tumbled over and over before landing on the ground, spinning on its edge before finally landing with the pokeball facing up.

    "Heads! Alright Lessan, would you like to summon first or defer?" she asked, bending down to retrieve and pocket the coin.

    "Defer," Lessan said, nodding to the ref.

    "Alright, then back to your sides. Kaynem, please summon your first pokemon. Lessan, you'll summon second. The match will begin when I give the signal.

    Both trainers nodded without a word and turned away to stroll back to their respective sides. Kaynem's mind raced as he thought about who to send out first. Going second, Lessan would have the advantage of reacting to his first move, but Kaynem could try to force a particular matchup if he needed. He was most worried about Lessan's Charizard, so he wanted to keep his Luxray for that matchup. Likewise, sending Infernape out first might draw Charizard out, and the matchup might not go in his favor.

    He turned forward again, the lights in the stadium now illuminating the entire field instead of just shining on the people on the field. Kaynem drew in a deep breath, reached to his belt, and pulled off a yellow and black ball. It flashed open and Lopunny appeared, standing just over four feet next to him. 

    Jamison, the dark-skinned announcer, was on it immediately. "With Lessan deferring the opening to Kaynem, we see Lopunny coming out first! How will Lessan respond?"

    In answer, Lessan picked off a typically-colored pokeball from his belt and threw it forward. With a loud roar, and the spreading of giant, black and red wings, Charizard appeared at the far end of the field. The abnormally colored Charizard was taller than Lessan and every breath it took sent out small puffs of smoke from its flared nostrils.

    "There you have it, folks. Lessan's impressive, shiny Charizard! You don't get to see them often, and man is it a sight to behold when you do," Fletch said over the roar of the crowd.

    Kaynem's breath caught in his throat as he saw the black-skinned Charizard come free. Pokemon larger than even he was always intimidated him, and the black and red Charizard was no exception. His Lopunny, though, stood there, looking unimpressed with her cotton-ball hands crossed over her torso. Her calmness helped still Kaynem's nerves. 

    "Fletch, I'm excited. Are you excited? The first opening matchup is going to be riveting. Lopunny and Charizard. Jamison, remind the audience what we've seen so far from these two great pokemon so far."

    "Well, Jamison, in round one we saw amazing play from Kaynem's Lopunny taking out Riptide's Steelix and Blastoise. Lessan's Charizard nearly three-oh'ed Cody's Gengar, Golem, and Machamp in round two. It'll be interesting to see just how these two titans do against one another."

    The referee looked from Lessan to Kaynem, holding a special, luminescent flag in one hand. The fibers shimmered and glistened as the light bounced off it. "Ready?" she called, waiting for the affirmative nod from both trainers. She raised the flag up above one head, waited a few seconds, and then brought it down in front of her. "Go!"

    The electric material of the flag beamed brightly and it set off the lights embedded in the stone that made up the boundaries of the field. It was a stunning display of the holographic material used for flash and style, and a very noticeable signal to start.

    The sheer speed of Lessan's Charizard was frightening. Its wings folded in close and in a spiraling lung forward it closed the distance of nearly fifty yards to only a couple feet in the blink of an eye. The black dragon's jaws opened wide and crunched down right where Lopunny's shoulder was a split second before. The lapine beast leapt high in the air and shot back to the ground with one leg extended, striking the dragon in the small of its back. 

    Charizard roared out its pain and both wings shot to either side before Lopunny could land and flung her twenty yards towards one of the boundaries. She contacted the ground and came up in a roll as the dragon charged at her again.

    Kaynem grit his teeth, paws balled into fists as he watched the opening engagement. People who trained hard enough with their pokemon didn't need to give commands unless they might see a better opening than what their pokemon might. All the same it was difficult not to be a backseat driver in a match like this.

    Lopunny feinted to one side as the dragon bore down on her and swung her leg out, electricity wreathing her limb as she did so. It struck and the dragon let out a hideous roar as his body went rigid and rolled along the ground before struggling to his feet. 

    Lessan shouted something from the opposite end of the stadium, but with the din of the crowd and the commentary from the announcers, Kaynem couldn't hear what was going on.

    "An amazing opener. Seeing that blitz by Charizard," Jamison was saying.

    Fletch nodded, looking out along the field from where they watched above. "Indeed. And the speed at which that Lopunny moves. She barely dodged and was able to deliver a solid kick, and then followed it up with an electrifying one that appears to have paralyzed Charizard!"

    "Indeed, that could spell big trouble for Lessan and his Charizard. They've relied on strength and speed to put away their opponents so far, and if Charizard is paralyzed they're going to have to resort to other tactics," Jamison said.

    "And it looks like they are!"

    Charizard, now on all fours, stomped the ground hard, fissures appearing in the stone working and splitting everything open as the stadium shook. If the earthquake wasn't enough, fire poured from all around the large dragon like liquid fire, filling those cracks and sharply raising the temperature in the arena.

    Lopunny had been running forward again when the earthquake hit and was thrown to the ground, almost tripping and falling into one of the fire-filled fissures. Kaynem sucked in a sharp breath, his lungs burning with the heat of the fire around him. "Watch your step! Don't leap up high anymore!" he called.

    Lopunny glanced over and nodded, and then darted forward again, her footing sure as she ran at the Charizard who was focusing on the fire and ground attack. The dragon's eyes were closed and Kaynem was sure that Lopunny could end it if she got there quick enough, but those enormous, black eyes snapped open at the last second and one of the clawed hands grabbed Lopunny's foot as it swung at his face. 

    The crowd cheered and screamed as Charizard caught the rabbit in one, and then the other hand. Those jaws parted, teeth sparkling as Charizard's head snapped down to crunch at the caught prey. Lopunny was quicker and leaned up, mouth closed as its lips pursed into a kiss that caught the dragon's nose.

    Charizard's attack faltered and ceased all together as a look of pure infatuation came over the dragon. It blinked dreamily a few times down at the rabbit, suddenly passivized, and Lopunny took that moment to strike.

    Both its slender, fluffy feet came up to the dragon's chest and pushed off hard to break free of its grasp. She flipped over in the air, landed, and sprung forward once more, delivering a set of quick, electric kicks to the dragon's torso that sent it reeling backwards.

    "Oh my god! The upsets we've seen here tonight!" Jamison reported. "We thought that Lopunny was done for after being caught by Charizard, but one quick kiss and it looks all over for Charizard now!"

    Kaynem watched as Charizard toppled over and lay still on the ground, defeated. He felt his lips curling up at the sides as he grinned fiercely. The one pokemon he was most worried about was defeated, and it was on to the next. Lopunny rounded about until she was standing in front of Kaynem and Charizard was recalled and Ampharos suddenly appeared on the far end of the field.

    "Goodness, we've had such a thrilling match in the first few minutes, let's see what Lessan decides is the next course of action," Fletch said.

    Jamison nodded, shuffling some papers to one side of the desk. "Well Ampharos has been a huge boon to many of Lessan's opponents in tournaments, and I think Kaynem's Lopunny will be hard-pressed to take him down."

    Ampharos wasn't as fast as Lopunny, but charged forward all the same, hopping over the broken fissures in the ground that were now free of fire with Charizard gone. Lopunny ran forward as well, chocolate-brown paws balled into fists and ready to take the large creature on. As she closed the distance, Ampharos reared its head back and then stomped a foot on the ground, electricity spreading out in a thick wave.

    Lopunny had been ready for such an attack and leapt into the air to avoid the wave, aiming a kick at the ram-like pokemon. Bolts of lightning erupted from Ampharos at that instant and Lopunny couldn't change direction at all in midair. She was struck hard and sent reeling towards the ground where the electric field weakened her further.

    She was slow to get up and the roar of the crowd drowned out any sound from the battle. Lopunny couldn't hear Kaynem's cry of warning, and looked up too late to see the large pokemon slam down atop her, finishing her off.

    "Oh my god! What a quick finish!" Jamison called over the din. "What will come now?"

    Kaynem recalled Lopunny and threw forth Luxray to fight thunder with thunder. On all fours, the blue and yellow cat was nearly as big as the bipedal Ampharos. It streaked forward and got off a quick chomp to one of the ram's flanks before that tail turned to steel and smacked the cat a few yards away. Luxray was quick to get back up and charged forward again, delivering two quick back to back hits that nearly felled the large ram.

    Kaynem held his breath as Luxray went back in to finish the ram off but the ram drew back its fist as Luxray closed, and delivered a punch square to Luxray's forehead that flung the cat against the far boundary where he hit the holographic wall that protected the audience from any effects of the fight. 

    "Dynamic Punch!" Fletch called out, his mic-enhanced voice nearly covered by the screams of the audience. "Ampharos has just taken out its second victim in this quarter-final match! Kaynem only has Infernape left now."

    Kaynem's stomach was in knots as he sent Infernape into the fray. Unsurprisingly, Ampharos was switched out for Clefable who was unscathed in this fight. It was a matchup that far favored Infernape and Kaynem was hoping that a quick fight might give Infernape some extra confidence to finish off Ampharos.

    Bright light emanated from the fairy pokemon as Infernape approached, shooting blast after blast of fire towards her. Clefable was slow and took a few blasts while trying to deliver her own psychic attack. A wave of psychic energy hit Infernape but he powered forward and a hard punch sent Clefable to the ground.

    Kaynem's hands clenched into fists and he watched intently as Infernape went for another punch to try and finish off the Clefable, but both her small hands suddenly glowed and she vanished completely.

    "Was... was that metronome?" Fletch asked, mouth spread wide in an excited grin. "I don't think we've ever seen that here!"

    "Indeed we have not! Such a risky move!" Jamison commented.

    The audience was loving every second of this quick, heated battle. Clefable was gone for a couple seconds before reappearing behind the Infernape in a shadowy cloud and striking hard, sending the monkey toppling forward. Infernape recovered fast, and darted back in, knocking Clefable against one of the barrier walls with a powerful slam of his shoulders. Clefable looked all but defeated, and the crowd was on its feet, pennants waving as the match looked to be on its final moments. 

    Clefable's hands glowed once more with the power of metronome and as Infernape's fist swung down at the pink-white fairy a large explosion shook the stadium hard enough to send everyone to the ground, or their seats. The holographic barrier lit up on all sides as the explosion sent debris and dust everywhere, and no one could see inside the field.

    Kaynem's ears were ringing from the sound and he couldn't hear the announcers or crowd for several seconds. His heart pounded rapidly as he waited for the dust to finally settle. Could Infernape have survived that explosion? Was this the end?

    The dust finally settled as vents in the stadium came on to clear out dust, sometimes used for toxic fumes, water, flames, and all sorts of attacks that needed to be cleared away. Kaynem was still on his knees and couldn't find the will to stand up as he saw the carnage.

    Infernape was laying only feet from him on the other side of the barrier, unconscious and out of the fight. Clefable, likewise, was in a similar state at the far end of the battlefield, which now looked like a crater, but Lessan still had Ampharos. Even if almost defeated, Ampharos was still conscious and that was all that was needed for Lessan to claim victory.

    "Lessan is the winner! Oh. My. God! Two JRC firsts in only minutes!" Jamison was shouting.

    Fletch looked equally shocked and excited. "That's right folks, for those of you who might have just joined, we just saw Lessan's Clefable use Metronome not once, but twice."

    "Exactly, and if that wasn't enough excitement, the second Metronome was an Explosion that absolutely wrecked the field and took out Kaynem's last remaining pokemon."

    Kaynem recalled Infernape with a shaky hand, his mouth still hanging open in shock. He struggled to his feet and stared across the broken stone to where Lessan stood. Even in victory he looked calm, poised, and had a grin on his face that made Kaynem's cheeks heat up. The anger and hate that Kaynem felt was dampened to sorrow and defeat.

    "There you have it folks. Kaynem will drop to the Behind-Bracket where he'll have to face Demi to stay alive in this tournament. Lessan, meanwhile, advances to the finals to face Frahzen in what should be a match of epic proportions. 

    Lessan walked around the exterior of the barrier until he was standing next to Kaynem. "It was a good match," he said, smiling wide and holding out a hand.

    Even if all cameras in the stadium weren't on the pair, Kaynem couldn't have refused the handshake. Lessan's hand was smooth, strong, and the shake lingered for just a second longer than Kaynem would have considered normal. "Y-yeah, it was," he said, feeling his tan cheeks flush. "Good luck in the next round."

    "Luck is all that got me through the match with you, honestly," Lessan said, shrugging his shoulders and chuckling. "Metronome was such a risky play, but it just happened to work out in my favor. It feels a bit cheap to win that way," he said, an apologetic expression playing across his face.

    Kaynem shook his head and found himself smiling despite his disappointment in the match. "No, a win is a win, and everything is fair in a fight."

    Lessan studied Kaynem for a moment longer before nodding in agreement. He raised a hand to run through his untidy, black hair and looked around the stadium before turning back to Kaynem. "Our matches aren't until tomorrow. After you heal up there's a few private spa rooms down under the stadium to relax and loosen up. You should think about hitting them up."

    Kaynem nodded absently, thinking about his match tomorrow with the fierce Demi. He'd probably need the spa just to relax. "Yeah, I'll probably go down there, then."

    "I usually do as often as I can. Ampharos really likes the hot tubs and saunas. My other pokemon don't care for it as much," he said. 

    There was something about the grin that he had across his face that Kaynem couldn't quite place. Something predatory, perhaps. He nodded slowly. "My Infernape would probably enjoy it the most. Luxray and Lopunny aren't fond of being wet."

    "Well there you go. It'll be a good chance to loosen up and prepare for tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll see you there," Lessan said, giving a small salute with two fingers as he began walking backwards away from Kaynem.

    Kaynem just nodded and started off for his own tunnel as the announcers continued analyzing the match. He was in no mood to listen right now. He'd take care of the planning and analyzing tomorrow. Right now he just wanted to get to the stadium's pokemon center and then back to his room to mope for a bit before watching the next match between Riptide and Luna in the Behind-Bracket. If he beat Demi, and he felt that was a pretty big "if", then he'd be up against Luna or Riptide, who he'd taken out in the first round.

    The golden-skinned boy moved as if on autopilot, healing his pokemon up, grabbing a quick bite to eat, and making it back to his room inside the arena without much going through his head. He was stopped a few times by people who saw the match, a couple wanting pictures, and one even had his pennant for him to sign. Everything just flew by as a blur until he was back in his room, and he was asleep moments later, still feeling sorry for himself at the outcome of the match.



    It was dark when Kaynem woke from his nap. The stadium's rooms for contestants were along the outer rim and he had a nice, large, curved window that overlooked the sea to the south. The moon was full and shining down against the water, making everything sparkle beautifully. He hadn't meant to sleep quite so long, but there was no taking care of that now. He hadn't even stripped out of his clothes and his body ached all over from laying haphazardly across the bed. Lessan's words from earlier came to mind and he figured now would be as good a time as any to hit up the private spas. Kaynem grabbed a towel, just in case, and Infernape's red and old pokeball. 

    The spas were underground, beneath all the rooms, so it was a quick walk down. It was two levels of large, private rooms for trainers to relax with their pokemon. Some rooms were large enough that only the biggest pokemon would be unable to fit. Kaynem had been there once last year, and he and Infernape had relaxed in a large hot tub for an hour before enjoying the room's sauna. He let the monkey out and Infernape stretched his arms above his head, looking around to see where they were.

    "Remember the spa we went to last year when we were here?" Kaynem asked, putting a hand on the monkey's shoulder and giving it a firm squeeze. 

    Infernape was a good half a foot shorter than he was, and the monkey looked up with his large, yellow and blue eyes. He gave a growl of acknowledgment and beamed wide, teeth barred.

    Kaynem laughed and patted Infernape on the back, starting down the hall towards where the spas were. "I thought you might. Figured it'd be good to relax before tomorrow."

    His wrist was caught in the monkey's paw and he paused, looking back at Infernape. The pokemon had his head hanging down, a look of disappointment and dejection on his face.

    "Hm? What is it?" Kaynem asked.

    Infernape looked up, frowning, and then looked away, shaking his head.

    "You feel bad about the match?" he asked, turning back completely and putting both hands on each of Infernape's shoulders. When the monkey nodded he pulled him close and squeezed Infernape to his chest. "Hey now, don't feel bad. You did a great job. We're still in this and you'll do even better next time, I know it," he said reassuringly.

    Infernape's arms wrapped around his waist to return the hug, his chest rumbling with his soft, simian growl. He gave a small nod, head pressed in against Kaynem's chest before they pulled apart.

    Kaynem laughed and pulled at his shoulder as he began to walk. "Come on, let's go find us a nice room to relax in."

    Infernape punched the air and let out a soft cry of agreement, beaming brightly as he followed along behind his trainer.

    The golden, tan boy walked along through the halls of the lower levels of the arena as they entered where all the private rooms were. There was an electronic map on the wall showing where each room was, which amenities they had, and which were occupied. None of them showed as having anyone in them. Kaynem glanced at the map as he walked and continued down towards the same one he'd been to the previous year.

    "It'll be really nice to just relax in the hot tub, don't you think?" Kaynem said, pushing open one of the doors and stepping inside. "And we'll need to be relaxed if..." his voice trailed off as he entered the room, eyes flicking to the scene before them. The rooms were normally locked from the inside, which would indicate them as occupied on the map, but it appears the occupants had forgotten to lock this one.

    Kaynem's eyes locked with Lessan's across the room, both of their mouths opening in complete shock. Kaynem thought his cheeks might burst into flame at what he saw before him, but it was Lessan who should have been more embarrassed. The light-skinned boy was standing up against the far wall, naked, with his legs spread. Kaynem couldn't see much else of Lessan's smooth, bare body as Ampharos' head was between the boy's legs. Lessan's hands were lightly gripping the Ampharos' striped, conical ears, but it was clear that there was no force behind it as the ram's head pulled back to turn towards the opened door.

    Kaynem could only watch in pure disbelief as the Lessan's cock slipped free of the ram's lips and bobbed in the open. The Ampharos sat back on its haunches, a yellow paw rubbing at the back of its head as if undisturbed by the interruption. Kaynem could see, too, that the sheep appeared to be enjoying what he was doing as a long, pink shaft jutted out from a fuzzy white sheath between his legs.

    Lessan let his hands fall from the ram's ears and just leaned his head back against the wall. "I didn't think you were gonna come down here, so I started without you," he said, a nervous laugh coming from his parted lips. 

    "I-" Kaynem started to say, but his throat squeezed shut and he had to swallow before continuing. "Wh-what are you doing?"

    "Just having some fun. What, you never have before?" Lessan asked, running a hand down his chest until he squeezed around his length, a bead of pre welling up at the tip.

    Kaynem just stared at the pale-skinned boy, his heart beating so fast he felt that he might pass out. He'd never considered anything quite like this before, and as odd as it was, he could feel his own shorts tightening at the scene in front of him. "No! Of... course not..." he said quietly, looking from Lessan to the Ampharos.

    The big ram didn't seem particularly concerned with what was going on and just turned his yellow muzzle back towards the boy and wrapped his lips around the end of the boy's shaft, nursing gently.

    Lessan groaned and moved a hand back to Ampharos' ears. "Mmm, well, what's stopping you? I can tell you both enjoy what you see," he said with a wicked grin.

    Kaynem turned his gaze down to Infernape at his side and his eyes widened when he saw the monkey's thick, uncut shaft jutting up from his brown fur. He'd had Infernape with him for nearly four years now, and he was dimly aware of his pokemon's anatomy, but he hadn't really noticed it before now. 

    Infernape looked up at him and let out a low, rumbling laugh, a paw going to the back of his neck in embarrassment. His other paw squeezed down on his thick member and tugged downwards, foreskin peeling back over the pink head.

    Kaynem's swallowed again and turned his attention back to Lessan and his Ampharos. The large ram was bobbing his muzzle up and down while the boy just leaned back against the wall. "I... haven't done anything like this," he said, shaking his head. "I mean... like THIS," he said, nodding towards both pokemon.

    Lessan gently eased Ampharos back off of his length and strode across the room to where Kaynem and Infernape were still standing at the door. "So, you're not opposed to the idea, then?"

    Kaynem took a step backwards, bumping into the now-closed door. He looked down at the other boy's shaft, his fingers tugging at the edge of his shirt uneasily. "I mean... I'm not... I don't. I'm not one of those kind of people. I'd never even thought about it. And it seems kind of weird to just ask. I mean, I don't know if... uh, if any of them would want to. If I wanted to," he rambled on quickly as the boy approached.

    Lessan laughed and put a hand on the wall next to Kaynem's head, leaning in until their noses were only a few inches apart. "I can show you, if you'd like. It looks like your Infernape wouldn't mind showing you, too, right?" he said, looking down at the monkey.

    Infernape let out a grunt of approval and gave a thumbs up as his mouth spread in a wide grin. He was still hard as a rock, and one of his paws stroked idly along his long, simian length, blue fingers teasing at his head whenever his foreskin tugged back.

    Kaynem's breath was ragged and he was certain that his briefs would tear from the strain his cock was putting on them. When Lessan's hand gripped his wrist the feeling was electric. 

    "Here, why don't you move away from the door? Come on," Lessan said, pulling Kaynem into the room. Ampharos was standing up now, his long, pink length jutting out in front of him with a line of pre dangling from the end.

    Kaynem stared openly at the large ram, his heart still racing. He felt hands turn him and push him against the wall and then the hem of his shirt was suddenly tugged upwards. "Wha-?"

    "Hey, you're the only one with clothes on," Lessan said with a chuckle. "Come on, you've gotta relax. Infernape, do you wanna get his shorts for me?"

    The monkey squeaked happily and before Kaynem could protest, the monkey's fingers caught the elastic of his shorts and underwear, and tugged them down to the ground.

    Kaynem's cock slapped up against his bare stomach as Lessan pulled his jersey off and tossed it aside, and with his arms free again, he moved to cover himself up, cheeks flushed red. Lessan put a hand on Kaynem's stomach and the older boy jumped at the touch, looking down to the contrast in color between his own golden skin and Lessan's white.

    "Don't worry. Just relax and have some fun!" Lessan said, looking back to Ampharos and beckoning him over.

    The large ram walked over, dripping over the floor on the way, and Kaynem's mouth watered slightly at the sight. Ampharos was easily bigger than any of them, and his long, pink, tapered shaft glistened with pre where it jutted up from his fuzzy, white sheath.

    Kaynem gasped out as he felt fingers wrap around his cock and he looked down, expecting to see Lessan's hand there, but saw blue fingers squeezing his shaft, teasing back his foreskin and rubbing at the slit with a thumb. "Infernape?" he asked, unsure of himself, and wanting to make sure that the monkey was okay with what was going on.

    The simian looked up at him and grinned wide, letting out a soft grunt of approval. He stroked himself and the boy's shaft before he knelt down and slipped his mouth down over the exposed head.

    The boy closed his eyes for a moment, forgetting the odd predicament he was in, and let out a low moan as the monkey's tongue swirled and lapped at the head of his length. He hadn't had an expansive love life, but it felt like no blowjob he'd felt before. It felt sloppy and inexperienced, but more intense and passionate.

    Infernape might not know entirely what he was doing, but the monkey slurped and bobbed his short, blunted muzzle back and forth over Kaynem's length with a burning hunger.

    Lessan chuckled. "See? Already you're enjoying yourself," he said.

    Kaynem cracked an eye to look over at Lessan but what he saw made his eyes open wide in surprise. Ampharos was laying on its back and the pale-skinned boy was crouching over him, one hand reaching down between his legs to hold onto the long, pink member.

    Lessan noticed his reaction and winked. "Don't worry, I've done this before," he said, face screwing up for a brief moment as he lowered himself down and the tapered end pushed into him.

    Kaynem felt Infernape's mouth pull off of his length and the monkey turned to look at the scene as well. The monkey made a chattering sound and then turned back to engulf half of Kaynem's length again. His paw moved up between the boy's legs and several fingers pressed at his entrance, making his back stiffen and body tighten. "H-hey! Careful."

    "Looks like he liked what he saw," Lessan said, now leaning over Ampharos and pressing both his hands down onto the Ram's chest as his body lowered along that long length. It slid into him inch after inch until the boy was sitting in Ampharos' lap and rocking his hips in slow, undulating motions.

    Kaynem marveled at how the younger boy managed to take the thick length and his own shaft throbbed in Infernape's maw as the simian continued to drool eagerly over his member. "H-hold on..." he said, gently easing the monkey off of him.

    Infernape wiped at his mouth with the back of a paw and looked up, his long, prehensile tail flitting around behind. 

    "Do you want to do that?" Kaynem asked, nodding towards where Lessan was starting to bounce up and down in Ampharos' lap. The yellow ram just lay there, arms spread at its sides and thick tail lashing between his legs on the floor.

    Infernape glanced back and then nodded excitedly, bouncing on the balls of his feet and barring his teeth in an excited grin. He squeezed his own shaft, pre drooling out over his fingers. 

    It had been a couple months since Kaynem had gotten that kind of attention, and it was exciting to think how it might feel, though he was uncertain if Infernape would be able to take it easy on him. "Well, first I think I need to get you ready," he said, laughing nervously as he reached down to wrap his hand around the monkey's cock.

    It felt even thicker than it looked and pulsed in his grip. Infernape's body straightened and his arms dropped limply to his sides. The tan boy sat down on the floor in front of Infernape and stared at the uncut length he was holding. It was about the same size as his own, just thicker, and shaped slightly different than a human's.

    His fingers teased up and down over the warm, brown flesh, watching the monkey's foreskin slide back and forth over the slick head as more pre dripped out over his knuckles. He brought his free paw up between Infernape's legs and hefted the kiwi-sized balls there, testing their weight. He'd seen them plenty of times, but he'd never paid them much attention.

    Lessan seemed to be reading his mind from where he rode his pokemon. "Never really thought about it, did you?" he asked, panting slightly from exertion as he drew himself up until only a few inches remained in him. He slid effortlessly back down into Ampharos' lap, pre spurting up onto the ram's white-furred stomach as he moaned.

    "No. I mean... I know that some people do, but..." he let the sentence trail off with a shrug. His nerves had calmed considerably since he'd first encountered Lessan down here in the spa and he considered all of what he was about to do. Before he could let his nerves resurface, he leaned in and pressed his lips down around the monkey's length, feeling the taunt foreskin roll back. 

    Infernape's pre had a tangy, spicy flavor to it that wasn't unpleasant at all. He could hear the monkey's chest rumbling in excitement and one of his paws came to rest on the back of Kaynem's head, urging him further down without any pressure.

    The boy swallowed and pushed his mouth down further, tracing one of the pronounced veins with his tongue as he went. He couldn't believe what he was doing, and caught himself wondering about some of the others on his team. It felt so incredibly taboo, but maybe that was part of the fun.

    He couldn't take the simian all the way into his mouth, Infernape was just too big for that. Instead, he settled on swirling his tongue around the dripping head, letting the taste of the monkey's pre flood his senses.

    Lessan was rocking his hips back and forth in the ram's lap, grinding his cock forward against the short, white fur and leaving a trail of sticky pre everywhere. He watched with great interest as Kaynem continued servicing the shorter pokemon. "It's always so hot to watch someone else do that," he muttered, eyes half lidded in pleasure.

    Ampharos was sprawled out and making soft bleating noises of pleasure, his hips twitching on occasion whenever Lessan would slide back down his pole. Pre leaked profusely from the ram's member and it leaked back out from around his pink length and over the heavy, white balls between his legs.

    Kaynem felt his cheeks turn red again, but his lips turned up at the corners in a smile. He tried to put more of a show into it, brushing his long, blond hair back out of his face while he bobbed up and down over the monkey's thick length. It might have been more impressive if he hadn't ended up gagging when he went too deep and had to pull off for air; he could hear Lessan chuckling.

    When he was certain he had gotten the monkey's shaft as slick as he could, he pulled off completely and lowered himself to all fours. "O-okay, just go slow, okay?" he said, looking up at Infernape with a sheepish grin. 

    The monkey nodded quickly and stepped around behind Kaynem, both of his paws gripping the human's hips and holding him still while he lined up his shaft with the boy's hole. He was just the right height that he didn't need to crouch, and the head of his shaft pressed against the pucker, begging for entrance.

    Kaynem closed his eyes and relaxed as best he could, heart beating rapidly out of a mix of fear and excitement. There was a brief moment of burning pain as the head of Infernape's cock suddenly slipped past his ring. It was as thick as anyone he'd taken before, but felt much much hotter. He hissed and lowered his head down onto his crossed arms, taking deep breaths and willing himself to relax.

    Infernape paused when he heard his trainer hiss. He leaned over, paws sliding up along Kaynem's back until they rested on his shoulders, and let out a soft chirring noise.

    "I'm... I'm fine," the boy whispered, pushing his hips back against the monkey's and groaning as he felt himself get split wider still. It hurt, but he was too worked up to stop now. 

    The monkey growled low and pulled on Kaynem's shoulders, hips working forward to slide another few inches into the teenager. He was doing well at going slow but as he got further in his hips twitched and bucked and he shoved forward another few inches to make the young trainer gasp and bite down on his arm.

    Lessan grinned wide, panting as he bounced up and down on Ampharos' long shaft, his own slapping against the ram's belly and his own. "If you can take that, you can work your way up to Amphy," he teased, looking down at the yellow ram and running his paws down his white underbelly. "I'm sure he'd love to give you a ride, too."

    The ram's muzzle spread open as he bleated out his affirmation, hips rocking up to meet his trainers. Electricity sparked at his cheeks and down along his tail to the big, red ball there and Lessan gave a soft gasp each time it ran down through the fine fur.

    Kaynem blushed hard as he imagined the large ram hunched over him, thrusting into him much like Infernape was. He couldn't imagine taking someone that large, but it was still an exhilarating thought.

    Infernape grunted as he bottomed out inside Kaynem, squeezing the boy close as he leaned against his smooth, golden back. His shaft throbbed inside the warm passage and it made Kaynem jerk and moan. The hot, thick length was pressed firmly against his prostate and he could feel himself pulsing every time the monkey moved around.

    When a soft moan came from Kaynem's lips that was all the encouragement that Infernape needed. He pulled back from the boy's passage and thrust back in, heavy balls slapping against the smaller human's. It pulled a pained cry from Kaynem's lips and he dug his fingers against the cool, tile floor. It hurt, but he knew if he endured it long enough it'd be fine.

    Ampharos was making higher and higher bleating noises and his hips rocked upwards to thrust into the young trainer. Electricity ran down through the fine wool, making the boy's hair stand on end on his arms and legs. He grit his teeth as the ram began pounding up into him. With a low grunt and then a pronounced cry of bliss as he came hard. 

    Lessan grit his teeth and shuddered as he felt the ram's cum shoot up into him, filling him to the brim. He pulled off and a thick rope of cum splattered up along his back and neck, others following and drenching him as the ram continued to buck upwards.

    Kaynem watched in fascination as the Ampharos sprayed cum along Lessan's back. He'd never been with any guy who'd been so prolific and he was briefly worried that Infernape would be the same. The monkey gripped at his hips firmly and picked up the pace, soft grunting and chirring noises coming from him as his balls smacked against the human's smaller pair.

    Lessan sighed happily and crawled up along the ram's stomach and chest, his cock dragging up through the soft fur. Ampharos lifted his head up tiredly and his long, pink tongue stuck out and curled around Lessan's shaft as it drew near. "Oof, yes..." he whispered softly, both of his hands moving to hold onto the conical ears. "That felt so good," he muttered, thrusting his shaft into the ram's muzzle and along that welcoming tongue.

    Kaynem pushed himself up onto all fours, head hanging down to stare at the floor. His body rocked back and forth with the force of Infernape's thrusts and he knew his knees would be in awful shape the next day. If the blowjob he received had been sloppy and inexperienced, the instinctual thrusting felt amazing now that he'd grown used to the monkey's girth.

    "O-oh god..." he whispered, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth. He could feel his balls starting to rise up and he knew he was getting close. "F-faster," he said, pushing his hips back into the rough thrusts.

    Infernape growled, the aura of his fiery-mane glowing brighter as he neared his own peak. The monkey humped away harder and made soft chuffing sounds as he pulled as Kaynem's hips, bottoming out on each thrust. 

    Lessan watched intently as the older, tan trainer got mounted by the strong, fiery monkey. He could see the look of pleasure on both their faces and it only drove his own orgasm further. He humped into the ram's muzzle and panted openly, keeping his eyes glued on the coupling pair.

    Kaynem was the first to tip over the edge as Infernape rode him hard. His cock throbbed between his legs, slapping against his stomach wetly as cum spurt against the tile floor, sometimes leaving a streak of cum across his chest and stomach.

    Lessan's entire body shuddered as he watched Kaynem, cumming hard. Ampharos let out a startled bleat as cum filled his muzzle, running out of the corners of his mouth and down over his yellow cheeks. Lessan pulled back as the ram's tongue coiled around his sensitive length and a few errant strands of his seed landed across Ampharos' broad muzzle. 

    Infernape held out a bit longer as he continued to thrust into the warm, tight passage. His heavy balls continued to abuse Kaynem's for a moment longer before he cried out and clung to the boy's torso, cock throbbing deep inside him. Cum poured out into Kaynem and the young trainer thought that he might be being set on fire from the inside.

    His body convulsed and he collapsed to the floor as the monkey's cum poured into him, running from his passage and down the insides of his thighs. Infernape followed him down, resting against his back, member buried deep inside Kaynem and pulsing. 

    Kaynem's vision felt foggy as he tried to focus as his orgasm died off. His arms and legs felt weak and every time the monkey's shaft pulsed it made his body tingle.

    Lessan rolled off of Ampharos and sprawled out on the floor, sighing pleasantly. "Ahh, see? Aren't you glad you came down to the spa?" he asked.

    Kaynem's cheeks turned red and he rolled his head to face Lessan. "What if it had been someone else that found you?"

    Lessan chuckled and shook his head. "Nah. Ampharos used Sweet Scent. We knew how to lead you here and shoo away anyone else. We were lazing around for about an hour thinking you wouldn't show up."

    The tan boy shook his head and smiled to himself. "Well... I don't know if I would have shown up if I'd have known..."

    "Well, are you glad you showed up now?" Lessan asked, scooting over to lay his head on one of Ampharos' arms.

    Kaynem lifted his head and turned to look at Infernape who was lightly dozing against his back. "Yeah, I think I am."

    "Good."

    

    Kaynem slept well that night and was refreshed by the time he was up for his match. The stadium arena was pristine as it always was at the beginning of a match and he could hear the announcers working up the crowd. 

    "Fletch, we've already seen tremendous battles in the past few days from both of these trainers. Demi was, of course, favored to win the whole tournament-"

    "And still could!" Fletch said.

    "And still could," Jamison amended. "But while Kaynem hasn't ever won a tournament, I don't think he'll be easy to push over. He put up a tremendous fight against Lessan, and was very close to taking that match."

    "Right you are, Jamison," Fletch said. "Now, let's welcome back our trainers!"

    Kaynem walked out onto the pitch as the audience cheered and screamed, waving pennants around wildly. He walked over to his place at the end of the field and looked out into the crowd where lights flickered as people took photos. His eyes flicked over the people and then, to his surprise, he saw Lessan standing right against the retaining wall at the front of the crowd, lined up with where Kaynem stood. They locked eyes and Lessan flashed him a wide grin and winked.

    Kaynem's cheeks flushed red, visible on the big screen, but he grinned back, nodded, and turned his attention forward to his next opponent.
