The open air arena of Aquacorde town was barely more than a small field to the side of the Pokemon center where the required Pokemon League regulation markings had been laid down in the rough dirt. With little seating besides a single bench, most of the twenty or so spectators stood around the perimeter as they watched the spectacle. At each end of the small battleground, opposing Pokemon trainers were poised as they directed their partners. Two eevees darted around each other in the center. They alternated and shifted patterns as each tried to gain the advantage over their rival, short tackles here and there wherever an opening presented itself.

“Quick attack! Again!... And again!” One trainer's voice raised with excitement as he swung his fist in the air.

The shouts of acknowledgments from the eevees to their trainer's commands were just barely loud enough to be heard over the cheering of the crowd. One voice significantly more feminine sounding than the other. The male of the pair seemed to gain the upper hand as he pulled off a perfectly timed dodge; the female falling to the ground as she missed her target.

“Now Fionn! Use tackle!” Came the cry from the male's trainer as she briefly met his gaze when he looked back at her for direction.

The eevee braced against the ground with his hindlegs for just a moment before darting forward.

“Tailwhip Lauma!”

The female eevee rolled to her feet and carried out her trainer's next command without hesitation swinging her tail around to impact her incoming counterpart; the shared impact sending them both rolling in the dirt. Just as they hopped to their feet again, a perfectly synchronized cry came from both of their Trainers as they each thrust an arm forward; fingers outstretched.

“Take-down!”

The crowd went silent for a split second as the two Pokemon met in the center almost faster than could be seen. The resulting small shock wave sent them both several meters from where they had impacted. Fionn landed on his feet, panting for a few seconds as he watched his opponent. The other eevee did not land on her feet, instead rolling some distance across the dirt. A few moments of silence past and the Pokemon didn't move an inch. At the sideline the referee raised a small flag as he stepped forward.

“Eevee is unable to battle. Leslie is the winner!”

The girl ran forward to where her eevee stood, petting him approvingly. A beam of light connected the other Pokemon to her trainer's pokeball as she vanished inside. The male trainer's eyes only briefly met those of his victorious opponent and he let out a small sigh as he turned and walked from the pitch into the Pokemon center.

“Since Leslie was victorious, who will be her next challenger?”

“Don't worry about a thing, we'll have your eevee all better in no time. You can just take a seat over there whilst you wait.”

The nurse gave a heart-warming smile before carrying off the small tray holding a single pokeball into the door behind her. The trainer looked around the reception area of the Pokemon center. There was an area clearly put aside for waiting with a few comfy looking sofa's, magazine racks and vending machines. He walked over to the seating area and flopped down into one of the sofas. Reaching into his pocket he withdrew the tablet he had recently received along with his trainer's license. Tapping at the screen brought the small machine to life as the display lit up. The default page had a small preview of his profile on the top left of the screen. Down the middle were various links. Pokedex... Team management... Web Browser... Navigation... He scrolled through the options and tapped the one for active Kalos trainers. The default sorting was by standing and he took a few minutes to look through some of the top trainers. Sorting the database by newest instead; he found his name tied with one other at the top of the list.

Aiden. Pokemon; one. Accomplishment points; zero. Most recent league placement; N/A.

The photo was blank, as were most of the resultant fields as he tapped Bio. He activated the camera app on the tablet and held it up to see his own face on the screen. His short windswept hair was a dirty blonde and the tips had been dyed a light blue. He was rather happy with how it showed up on camera and gave a warm closed-mouth smile as snapped the pic, adding it to his profile. He took some time to fill in a few extra details before getting bored and switching to the news page. He spent a while skimming some of the newest headlines and was reading an article about some upcoming Pokemon contest in Lumiose city before he heard the automatic doors to the Pokemon center open again, raising his eyes he saw the girl who had just beaten him approach the desk with pokeball in hand, placing it on the waiting tray as she spoke to the nurse. He lowered his gaze back to the tablet and continued to read as she wandered over to the seating area, approaching the vending machine and rummaging through her jacket pocket for a few coins before inserting them and hitting one of the buttons. A couple of soft banging noises came from the machine as her chosen drink rolled into the basket at the bottom. She picked up the can and cracked it open, taking a long drink from it before wandering over and sitting directly beside Aiden. She continued to sip the sweet carbonated liquid as she leaned towards the other trainer, nosily peeking at his tablet.

“So... Who beat you this time?” Aiden spoke without looking up from his device.

“He had a Braixen.” She sipped from the can again before holding it out to the other trainer. Finally lowering the tablet he took the can from her, taking a swig from it himself before handing it back as she continued.

“Braixen huh? Cool, they're native Pokemon here in Kalos you know.”

“You could have seen it if you stayed to watch, thanks for the support by the way.” A poke of her tongue towards Aiden accompanied the sarcasm.

“Well you know I don't like to leave Lauma waiting for care after a battle.” The male trainer stated plainly.

Leslie gave a sweet smile as she replied. “I know, don't worry about it I'm only teasing you. That's really sweet though, It's no wonder Lauma Idolizes you so much. I wonder if you're gonna be like that with all your Pokemon.”

Aiden shook his head a little bit. “I doubt it. She's my partner, she's special. Don't tell me you don't feel the same way about Fionn, I know you do.”

She laughed and nodded in agreement before finishing off her drink, putting the can down on the table afterwards.

“So how come you lost the battle?” Aiden inquired.

“Well I think Fionn put up a pretty good fight... but... I got a bit reckless to be honest. I think beating you so much might have made me a little overconfident... no offense.”

He huffed a little at her as he responded “At least you're being slightly more humble for a change. We may be licensed now but remember we both have a long way to go before we're proper trainers.”

A small series of pleasant tones sounded from a nearby speaker and Leslie straightened her cap as she stood. “One step at a time Aidi.”

Aiden frowned at her response but said nothing, he had long since given up trying to get Leslie to stop using her childhood nickname for him. He followed her up to the desk as the nurse emerged with one tray in each hand, as she laid them down on the counter both trainers picked up the poke balls, wasting no time in releasing their Pokemon. They had both had their eevees long before they wanted to be Pokemon trainers, as such the pair of Pokemon had been out of their balls almost full time and 

“Vui!” sounded both eevees as they appeared side by side, smiling up at their trainers. The Pokemon were similar in appearance but would still be pretty hard to mix up. The female; Lauma, had slightly longer head fluff that had been brushed upwards, the tips dyed to match the highlights in her trainer's hair. The male; Fionn, had scruffier head fur and was slightly larger than his counterpart. His fur was a slightly warmer shade of brown but it was only really noticeable when the two Pokemon were side by side. They turned to each other and immediately pounced, rolling around playfully together.

“Wow, those two don't hold a grudge huh?”

Both trainers turned to see who had asked the question. A man taller than either of them stood before them. He was wearing conventional trainer attire, some long white track pants and an orange short sleeved jacket over a plain white shirt. His striking red hair was spiked upwards and to his side stood a Braixen, barely reaching his chest height.

“Well I think they take after us” Leslie responded, giving a sweet smile.

He laughed as he responded, grinning widely “So you two are friends huh? And yet you were both so focused in your battle. I guess you don't let anything distract you once you're on the field. Its a good attitude, it could see you to becoming pretty good trainers one day.”

“Well uh... T-thanks.” Aiden finally replied. “We're still really new to this but we're committed, we want to become good trainers”

“That's right!” Leslie agreed.

Another short laugh came from the trainer as he responded. “Is that so? Well, my name is Gabriel, and it's a pleasure to meet the both of you.”

“Brai.” Added the Fire type at the trainer's side, clasping her forepaws together and smiling happily.

The corner of Aiden's lips curled as his expression changed to one of thought, his hand slipped into the pocket of his shorts and he pulled his tablet back out. Leslie took an excited few steps towards the Braixen, the fox backed away a single pace in surprise as the trainer leaned forward, examining the fire type.

“Gosh, you're such a beautiful Pokemon.”

“Vui!” Added Fionn as he ran up his trainer's back and looked over her shoulder, joining her admiration of the Pokemon he had recently battled. The Braixen looked almost as if she was blushing as she gave a slow and complete turn on the spot, swishing her tail and posing.

Aiden flicked through his tablet until he found the trainer list from before. Lauma jumped up onto his shoulder, watching the screen. As soon as Aiden found the entry he had glanced over earlier he looked at the profile pic and back up at the trainer in front of him. Both his and his eevee's eyes flicked up and down between the trainer and the screen. The trainer suddenly gave a wide toothy grin, his expression perfectly matching the face on the tablet in Aiden's hand. 

“It's you!” Aiden exclaimed in time with a Vui from Lauma

Leslie looked at him at tilted her head a little.

“He made it all the way to the quarter-finals in the Kalos league last year, this guys a pro” Aiden explained to her before turning back to Gabriel. “We've never met a pro trainer before! This is so exciting.”

Leslie gasped as she nodded in agreement. “And I got to battle you, that's so awesome.”

“That eevee of yours sure is spirited, been a while since Sera here had that much trouble with one.” Gabriel said as he reached forward and patted Fionn's head. The Pokemon let out a small Eev in appreciation as Sera nodded in agreement.

“Anyway, what say I buy you both a coffee, there's a nice cafe here in the center and I've got a suggestion that I think you'll both like.”

“Wow, that would be lovely.” Exclaimed Leslie, excited at the prospect of any kind of advice from a professional trainer.

All three trainers made their way to the cafe at the back of the center where they promptly found a nice table booth by the window. Leslie and Aiden scooted onto one side whilst Gabriel sat at the other with Sera. Both eevee's dropped down into the space between their Trainers, rubbing up against each other happily. There was a tablet built into the end of the table for placing orders and they tapped away on it for a few moments.

“So you two have known each other quite a long time huh?” Gabriel asked as he reclined back into the comfy seat.

“Yeah, since we were kids. What gave it away?” Asked Aiden curiously.

“Well, you sure aren't from Kalos with accents like those. That means you choose to start your journey as trainers in a region other than your home one and that's not something you see every day. Obviously you two came here together.” Aiden and Leslie looked at each other shyly, unaware that they were so easy to figure out. Gabriel continued as he gestured towards to the two happy eevees “And then there's these two, look how comfortable they are being together even immediately after battling each other. They've obviously known each other a long time too.”

“Yeah...” Leslie responded. “We we've had Fionn and Lauma for a very long time, long before we decided to become Pokemon trainers.” Fionn shuffled over and rested his head on Leslie's lap as she spoke about him, she lowered her hand and started to stroke his fur.

“It was the same with me and Sera” Gabriel replied.

“Brai.” The braixen added as she smiled at her Trainer.

He turned to her as he scritched at her cheek. “You were the most adorable little Fenny-kins that anyone's ever seen.”

Leslie and Aiden both giggled as they watched the Braixen blush. A waitress arrived and gave the group a courteous smile as she handed over their selections of coffee and a small plate of berries for the Pokemon.

“So, Gabriel.” Aiden spoke, pausing to take a sip from his Mocha. “You said you had a suggestion for us?”

“Oh that's right.” The trainer nodded, giving his Braixen's head a gentle rub as she nibbled on one of the Berries from the plate. “North of here is Santalune city. In a few days there's going to be a little battle tournament going on.”

The duo both glanced at each other and back to Gabriel. Leslie responded. “You don't mean we should compete do you? We don't have any more Pokemon and even if we manage to catch some, a couple of days Isn't going to be much time for proper training.”

The red-headed trainer gave his usual laugh as he replied. “Well that's the thing; this contest is only for eevees. One Pokemon entry only, and these kind of small tournaments are often avoided by more experienced trainers out of sportsmanship.”

The trainer's eyes widened with interest as Gabriel continued. “Well raised and looked after, fully grown eevee's like these two...” He gestured to the two Pokemon opposite who were both nibbling on the same Hondew berry on the plate in front of them. “...should fare pretty well I bet. A lot of the competition will be freshly caught, or just at a plain disadvantage compared to all the attention your Pokemon have gotten.”

“Is there a prize for the winner?” Aiden asked curiously.

“Well in addition to a cash prize, there's an Evolution stone up for grabs.” Both the eevee's looked up from their food and flicked their tails behind them a little. “I'm sure that your Pokemon are more than ready to take that step. Not to mention that one of you winning even a minor tournament like that would be a real good first step on your journey. Who knows, you might even make it to the league some day. Have a think about it, I think it would be a shame to pass it up.”

A few silent moments passed. The trainers quietly considering their own potential.

“So Gabriel?” Leslie spoke up after drinking more of her coffee. “What's it like? Competing in the league, in that stadium with all those people watching.”

Gabriel entertained the pair with some stories of his performance the previous year, even taking time to show them a few pictures of him with his team. When they had finished their drinks he bade them good luck and farewell as he left the cafe. Aiden was hand-feeding one of the remaining berries to Lauma as Leslie started thumbing around on her tablet.

“Lets see... Santalune city.” Fionn slipped onto her lap and popped up between her arms, looking at the small screen with her. “Well it's about a day and a half hike. There's a coach but It's kinda expensive.” 

She groaned softly to herself. Amateurs didn't receive grants from the league and were expected to fund themselves. The circumstances that brought them both to Kalos had meant that Aiden's limited money was all they really had. He had been kind enough to keep calling it 'Their' money but it hadn't stopped Leslie from feeling guilty. Considering they had already spent the majority of it on their new trainer attire, the registration fees and the Long journey to the Kalos region, it was certainly starting to become a concern.

Aiden patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Hey, hiking will be fun, think of all the great Pokemon we'll get to see. Might even get to do a little training, maybe even catch some of them. Besides, we came here to see Kalos right? There's more to it than the towns.”

Leslie's smile returned as she thumbed at her tablet some more. “Well we didn't bring sleeping bags for nothing. Looks like the good weather is gonna hold too. And a night spent outside is a night not paying for a hotel. Just a shame we don't have a tent.”

“We'd better enjoy the showers in our rooms whilst we have them.” Aiden stood up slipping his backpack on before picking up Lauma in his arms. “Shall we head back?” Leslie nodded as Fionn clambered up onto her shoulder.

______________________________________

The small hotel that Leslie and Aiden had booked themselves into upon their arrival in the Aquacorde town was one of several but it was also the cheapest. Dropping off their stuff in their rooms upon their return, they met up in the lounge just beside the hotel lobby. Watching the TV and discussing their travel route for the next morning whilst Fionn and Lauma played together on the other side of the glass wall which looked out into the small courtyard. The two eevees were rolling around in the grass and chasing each other around the short flowerbeds as the sun started to set.

“Are you excited?” Aiden suddenly asked his companion. She looked up from her tablet as she gave her response.

“Definitely. I really think Fionn will do great.” She paused for just a moment. “Oh, I'm sure Lauma will do great too.”

Aiden yawned before he gave her a mildly sarcastic glare. “Fionn always beats her. You know that.”

“Well I'm sure being out here is gonna be great training for her. We'll both have super powerful Pokemon soon, full teams of them!” Leslie raised her arms enthusiastically but found herself stretching them even higher as she started to yawn.

“Heh, you too huh? Maybe we should call it a night.”

“Yeah I guess so. What time should we be up at?” Leslie asked.

“Lets set our alarms for six in the morning and we'll meet outside our rooms at six thirty?”

“Sure”

The two trainers called for their respective Pokemon and headed up the elevator. Their rooms were on the same floor but at separate ends of the corridor. They said goodnight as they parted. Aiden put Lauma down next to the door to his room as he fumbled around in his pocket for the key card. Slotting it into the device beside the door gave a short whirring sound in response as the door unlocked. His Pokemon wandered into the room alongside him as he turned and closed the door. Taking a moment to touch the key icon on the electronic panel beside the door frame as he had made a mental note on his earlier inspection of the room that they did not lock by themselves.
Reaching down to untie his shoes he slipped them off one at a time and placed them neatly beside his backpack before sitting down on the edge of the plain bed. The room was nothing special. No television, it was a little bit cold and the decor was rather lacking. But on his budget he was smart enough to opt for the cheaper option. Lauma hopped up beside him and looked up at him.

“What do you think girl? An evolution stone...” She tilted her head just a little. Aiden had figured out a while ago that the action had the same mannerism as a shrug from Lauma. “I know... I know... Don't worry about it though girl, we'll do our best and try to have fun. And hey, if Fionn ends up evolving after this then we'll be happy for him and Leslie right?”

“Vui!” The eevee looked down from her trainer's gaze and he reached a hand out to pet at her neck.

“Well, we should get cleaned up huh? You got pretty dirty today.”

“Eev-eev” Came the little sound of agreement from the Pokemon who hopped down from the bed and wandered into the en-suite bathroom.

Aiden removed his jacket, putting it on one of the hangers from the open wardrobe before undoing his belt, letting his shorts fall to the floor where he picked them up and folded them also, placing them on one of the shelves. He slide out of his shirt and placed it away with the same neatness. He tugged his socks off one at a time before slipping his thumbs into his underwear and sliding them off as well. He placed them into his bag from where he would collect fresh ones from in the morning. He removed the two towels from his bag, placing the smaller one on the floor where he could use it to dry Lauma off after cleaning her since unsurprisingly a hair dryer wasn't included with the budget room. The trainer stretched a little before walking nude into the bathroom.

Lauma was already in the shower cubicle, sitting down waiting on her Trainer.

“Ev-vui?” Came an impatient sound from the Pokemon as Aiden joined her, feeling no shame whatsoever about being naked in front of her. Apathy shared by his eevee.

“Mmm... A tub would have been nice huh girl?” He reached for the button on the panel upon the wall and tapped it. Water began to flow from the shower head and Aiden quickly use the dial to make adjustments to the temperature until it was just barely on the upper end of comfortable for him as he knew Lauma liked the shower to be nice and warm. He picked up the shampoo from the small alcove in the cubicle wall, checking the label to make sure it was good for Pokemon as well before he knelt down on the tiled floor next to Lauma. She place her forepaws on his lap and nuzzled at his chest as he squirted some of the thick liquid out onto her fur and began to rub it in. Massaging her soft body and getting plenty of pleasant Vui noises in return. He must have done this with her hundreds of times but he would still always smile at her reaction to being washed and pampered.

“That's my good girl, gotta keep you nice and clean so everyone can see what a gorgeous little eevee you are.” Aiden worked the shampoo into a lather and kept massaging all over her small body as the flow from the shower gradually rinsed the soap away. He rubbed all through her thick neck fur and across her muzzle. Taking a few moments to massage her ears individually. Getting the most adorable sounds in exchange. Lauma rolled onto her back as her trainer worked his way down the rest of her form, washing her tail before applying a little more shampoo to her chest fur. He repeated the process over her chest and then down over her tummy before going further, being especially gentle as he rubbed over her crotch fluff before moving his attention to each of her paws one at a time.

“There we go. Now would you mind heading out there whilst I finish up. There's a towel laid out for you.”

“Eeeeev” Responded Lauma as she stepped out of the cubicle, clearly used to leaving her trainer to finish the shower by himself. She gave herself a brisk shake to get a decent amount of the water off before she exited the bathroom. Aiden stepped out for a moment to close the bathroom door properly before getting back into the shower. Leaning back on one of the cubicle walls he adjusted the shower head so that the water was covering him from the neck down. He closed his eyes and sighed softly in response to the relaxing feeling of the warm water spraying over his skin. He then let his imagination start to wander as he slipped a hand down to his crotch, touching himself gently and slowly working himself up to a rather aroused state. As he started to stroke his cock, he let out a few quiet moans, his mind filled with thoughts of the same girl he often found himself fantasizing about lately after spending yet another day in her company.

_______________________________

Leslie held the door for Fionn to enter their room before she closed it over. She lifted up her legs one at a time, untying her boots before kicking them off across the room one after the other. She removed her cap and hung it on a small tasteless statuette on the nearby dresser as she slipped her bag down off her shoulders to the floor.

“We're gonna do it Fionn!”

“Vui!” Her Pokemon yapped in agreement

“We'll win that tournament and I'll be so proud of you. And just think, an evolution stone!”

Fionn flicked his tail around as he followed his trainer's pacing around the small room.

She threw her jacket to the floor where she dropped her bag and then undid the fastening on her skirt, letting it fall to the floor as well. A few moments later her shirt, bra, socks and underpants all landed in other random spots on the floor. Pulling her towel from her bag she walked nude into the on-suite bathroom.

Fionn wandered the room grabbing his trainer's various pieces of clothing in his mouth and one at a time moving them all over beside her bag until they had formed a small pile. He heard the sound of running water followed by Leslie's voice again.

“Are you coming Fionn?”

“Eevv.” replied the Pokemon as he trotted into the bathroom, finding his trainer sitting down in the shower cubicle under the spray of water. She parted her knees and gestured for her Pokemon to join her. Fionn entered the cubicle with her, getting wet under the flow as Leslie reached out and pulled him into a warm embrace. Damp fur pressed against her bare skin, the eevee nuzzled at her face and gave her nose a soft lick and she laughed happily in return. She lifted a hand to push her soaked and dripping hair from her eyes and started to pet the eevee's cheeks.

“Fionn... I have that itch again. Wanna help me scratch it?.”

The eevee smiled shyly but nodded knowingly.

“Eevui.”

Fionn backed away a little as his trainer released her grip on him. He looked up and down her body as she sat with her back to the wall, legs spread but bent at the knee by necessity inside the small cubicle. She giggled as she watched him lick his lips, his eyes following her hands as they slipped gracefully down her tummy to her exposed crotch. The Pokemon took a step forward, watching her trace a finger up and down the flushed skin of her small slit. Just as she started to spread herself for him he leaned forward more and took a few sniffs at the beautifully sweet and familiar scent of his Trainer before pressing his muzzle against her. She immediately moved both hands to the floor at either side of her and let out a gentle but lasting moan as she felt Fionn's slick tongue pressing up and down the folds of her entrance. The Pokemon repeated the movement several times, slow shallow slurps lavishing every drop of her honey from her lips. She could have sworn the eevee was just trying to tease her before she suddenly felt him starting to push forward again, plunging his tongue into her sex and eliciting another long whine of pleasure, this time joined by a soft muffled noise from the eevee as well. He tilted his muzzle upwards, taking a few more deep sniffs of his trainer's arousal and nuzzled higher up her heated pussy. Leslie closed her eyes and gasped as she felt her Pokemon's well experienced tongue start to rub back and forth over her sensitive clit.

“Mmm... G-good boy Fionn... Y-you've gotten soooo good at this.”

Leslie found herself wiggling her hips involuntarily, her body eagerly pressing her pussy back against the willing muzzle with whatever small movements it could manage. The eevee's damp face was soaked from more than just the shower water and he eagerly swept up as much as he could. Then Fionn flicked his tongue down to what he had learned was his trainer's most sensitive spot, just under her clit. The moment his tongue made contact with that sweet little spot, Leslie started to moan like crazy. Fionn felt her thighs tighten around him as her clit throbbed against his tongue. Her arousal suddenly flooding the eevee's mouth, enveloping his tongue.

“G-g-gooood boooyyy! Ahhhh!”

Leslie's knees flopped apart to rest on the walls at either side of the cubical. Fionn continued to slurp up and down her swollen pussy as she squirmed and moaned some more, not stopping until her hand slowly pushed him away when the overstimulation became too much to bare. The eevee looked up at his trainer and licked his lips, watching her pant. A few moments later she reached down and tugged him upwards into her arms again and they nuzzled at each other. 

It seemed a long time ago that Fionn had first woken up to find Leslie masturbating, touching herself in ways the eevee didn't quite understand. He certainly knew what a happy human looked like though and figuring that it might be a new way for him to be a good Pokemon for his trainer he was delighted to find no resistance when he decided to see if he could help her. He wasn't sure at first why it felt so good for her to be touched in that special place but he quickly found out as Leslie made sure to return the favor that first time just like almost every other time since. The moment his trainer's hands had brought him to his first mind blowing orgasm he completely understood why she loved it so much.

“Now It's your turn.” Leslie said softly when she had gotten her breath back. A happy vui of agreement came from the Pokemon as she turned him over so that his back was against her chest and tummy. Without the need to even look she nuzzled into his neck and slipped her hands down each side of him to his crotch, her fingers easily finding and gently caressing her eevee's swollen cock whilst she lightly fondled his balls with her other hand. A chorus of happy noises echoed around the bathroom for the next few minutes as she worked her furry companion to a nice orgasm of his own. Having long since figured out the ways that her eevee liked best to be touched, he rarely lasted long. She bit down on one of his ears with her teeth, and whispered more praise to him as she felt his cock starting to throb wildly in her hand. Her soft fingers slipped down to the base and and she started to gently squeeze on his knot, rhythmically in time with his contractions, her other hand doing the same with his heavy orbs. His feet gave rapid little kicks through the air and his body shuddered as squirts of his seed landed across his tummy and chest, coating his wet fur and already started to be rinsed clear by the shower. She released her bite on his ear, returning to nuzzling at him as she milked the last few drops from the Pokemon. The eevee turned over and lay still on top of her, head just below hers resting on her collarbone. 

After a few minutes of relaxing in the after glow, Leslie finished cleaning herself and Fionn. After Drying herself thoroughly with her towel, she grabbed her spare one and bundled the Pokemon up inside it, carrying him to the bedroom where she spent a while making sure to get him nice and dry. She went to her bag again and removed her nightshirt, slipping it over her head. It was long enough to go barely past her hips, the hem just in front of her crotch but doing nothing to hide her nethers from the view of her Pokemon as he sat on the floor looking up at her. She got into the bed and Fionn hopped up onto the matress beside her. Leslie reached out and started to pet the eevee, stroking her fingers through his fluffy clean fur as she used her other hand to work her tablet, setting an alarm for the agreed-upon time. She hit a nearby switch and the room was suddenly dark. Laying down into the bed properly she felt Fionn crawl under the blanket with her and she pressed an arm underneath him and around his body, pulling him close to spoon with him as she closed her eyes and swiftly fell asleep.

In a room at the other end of the corridor, Aiden was getting into bed as well. As he turned off the light and got wrapped up in the blanket he muttered a goodnight to Lauma. He heard a gentle Vui from her as he felt her curl up against his feet like she had always done at home. In a matter of moments both trainer and Pokemon were asleep.
