Eterna City was considered by many to be a city of history despite the lessons having seemed to slip from recent generations. They still respected their history of course, the statues in the town standing in tribute to the legendary Pokemon said to assist in the creation of the Sinnoh region they all lived in. But the festivals and honors for these two creatures had given way over time. Past praise and prayer to these Pokemon deities was now instead long weekends of celebrations and discounts at stores and markets. We were followers of an economy instead of the pseudo-religion that these creatures represented. Not that anyone was complaining mind you. Everyone still spoke of awe and respect to these creatures but they were more interested in getting through their own lives than giving praise to two Pokemon they would likely never see in existence.

Caroline was no exception to this way of thought, walking along the streets and pushing her bike with her towards the Eterna Gym. From the high school to the gym she often passed by the statues and while she thought they were impressive (if not a little scary) to her they were nothing more than just statues. She didn't have time for Pokemon that may or may not exist, not when there were living ones that needed her attention. You see this city was also considered a city of dense forest and vegetation in no small part to the efforts of their gym leader Gardenia. With Gardenia's direction she'd helped the populace see the value in the environment, making their town not only a leader in historical values but also recycling and environmentally friendly efforts. Some people spoke of her as being an annoyance but Caroline thought nothing of the sort and held a high respect for the woman. At a young age Caroline had developed a fondness for Pokemon like most children did, and she found Grass-Types especially cute. She didn't have the same devotion as Gardenia (who could) but she did care enough to donate her time after school to helping out around the green house that made up the interior of the Eterna Gym.

She could see the decorative green outside of the gym shortly after arriving, and in character was Gardenia who was running around the outside tending to the plants. You were certain to find her in one of three places; inside the gym's greenhouse, outside of the gym in the yards, or out in the forest. She was the most active woman Caroline had ever met and it was also one of the traits that let Caroline have so much respect for her. Parking the bike in front of the building she walked up towards Gardenia who was facing away from the girl busy with some plant or another. Caroline smoothed out her school uniform and made sure her long brown hair had not been tangled from the bike ride earlier. When she felt presentable she approached her idol. "Hello Ms. Gardenia!" The woman looked up and over her shoulder at the girl, smiling cheerfully as always. Gardenia was dressed in her usual outfit of cargo pants and a tight black shirt, over top of which she usually had a green poncho. Around her head was the black headband that held her orangish-red hair up in a cute bob haircut. Gardenia wasn't the type to primp and correct her appearance, she was out in the woods and wild too much to care about those kinds of things. But despite that she had a natural beauty most girls would kill for.

"Hey Caroline, I didn't know school had gotten out already." She smiled and turned to face the teenage girl. Caroline looked down to notice the strange items she was carrying; a glass vial and long tweezers . It was kind of unusual to see Gardenia working with such specific tools. The woman was a talented trainer but Caroline had never known her to work with plants or Pokemon much in a scientific way. "The Pokemon running through the gym haven't been fed or watered yet. I figured you'd come by so I saved it for you." That may have seemed lazy to some people but it thrilled Caroline. She loved working with the Pokemon and was honored that Gardenia trusted her to take care of things.

"What are you working on Ms. Gardenia?" She blinked a bit but looked down at the tools in her hand and came to the realization as to what Caroline meant.

"Oh this stuff? It's part of my lecture tonight. Your coming right?"

"I wouldn't miss it!" Caroline smiled wide at the invitation. Gardenia was known to sometimes give late night lectures to trainers that were curious to her methods. Despite her eccentric behavior there was no doubting her skill in raising Pokemon and many of the local trainers (most of which were women) happily attended her sessions. "Can you let me know what it's going to be about?" Gardenia winked at the girl and wagged her finger at her.

"Ah ah, that would be giving out information early." Caroline made a sad looking face being denied the juicy information and Gardenia sighed caving into the girl's pathetic looks. "Okay okay... it's going to be about how to strengthen your Pokemon's moves." The girl looked a bit confused as she tried to think as to what the actual technique would be for something so specific. Gardenia cut the thoughts short as she gave her a gentle push towards the gym. "You can dwell on it after the lecture, right now there's a lot of plants and Pokemon that need your attention."

"I guess your right... well I can't wait till tonight!" She smiled and ran off towards the gym leaving Gardenia behind to do her work. Caroline noticed that she was moving the tweezers inside of the flowers and seemed to be collecting the pollen. It still didn't give her much of an idea as to what she was up to but she figured it was best to listen to her mentor and just wait it out like everyone else. Whatever it was that she had in store Caroline was sure it would be brilliant.

PAGE BREAK!!!

Gardenia wiped some of the sweat from her brow as she entered her private green house. The gym had a few areas like this and the entire main portion of the gym itself was like a giant botanical garden. Still she liked having her own private quarters to work on things that were of specific interest to her or just to relax and get away from everyone else. Locking the door behind her she removed her green poncho and tossed it aside on a nearby chair to cool off a bit. "Sure is a sunny day." She smiled to herself and reached into her pocket. Producing several clear vials with pollen in each one she sat at her desk and went to work. From here it was a simple process of carefully combining each of the collected samples into one larger vial looking to preserve as much as she could. With that done she put the large vial into the centrifuge and turned the device on to let it spin the contents together. Leaning back in her chair she removed her black tight shirt and tossed it aside, now just in her cargo shorts and a colorful green bra. That was the other bonus of having her own greenhouse; no one to worry about if she wanted to get comfortable. She fanned off her sweat covered skin as the device came to a stop.

"This looks like it'll be a good batch." She pulled the vial up and looked at the contents of mixed pollens. "Just as good as last time I suspect, if not better." With her little experiment contained she wandered to the back of the green house where there was a fenced off grassy area from the rest of the plants and tools. Gardenia opened the gate and proceeded to unbuckle her shorts, letting them fall onto the ground so now she was just in her green bra and matching green thong panties. Leaning down she un-clipped one of the Pokeballs off her belt and strolled into the small pen closing the gate behind her. "Okay, lets start our training for today!" Tossing the Pokeball across from her it struck the ground and released her Turtwig. The little plant covered turtle creature looked around itself and understood immediately what was going to be happening today with these surroundings.

Gardenia walked up to her Pokemon and pet him on the head. "You cutie, you! Are you ready for today's exercise?" The creature nuzzled against her hand with a happy noise making Gardenia give a delighted laugh. "That's my good boy! Okay now, I'm going to give you a little sprinkle alright?" Standing over the Turtwig she uncorked the vial and sprinkled the contents onto the Pokemon. Pollen dusted the creature and she was sure to keep it on his back and not let it get in his face or his eyes. Making sure to shake out all the contents she put the vial aside outside the pen and observed her Pokemon which was getting a slightly woozy look in its eyes. "Seems like the reaction happened a lot faster this time, good!" Gardenia smiled then walked a little ways away from the creature. "Okay, get ready." She shouted near gleefully as she turned around and leaned forward slightly. "Turtwig, use Vine Whip!"

The Pokemon acknowledged his master's command and produced two long vines that grew from it's back instantly. The long vines reached out and whipped Gardenia right across her ass, making her give a little shout. "Good... use it again..." The creature began to whip Gardenia's behind in repeated small snaps, her ass shaking slightly with each whip and the woman producing a surprised but pleasured yelp each time she was struck. Gardenia began to lean forward on her knees as her Pokemon gave her repeated yet pleasurable strikes against her skin, making her moan out. She winced as the strikes began to sting slightly but still filled her with waves of pleasure as each one made her ass jiggle. Before long she fell to her knees panting from the feeling.

"Good... good boy..." She took a moment to catch her breath, her ass now with red marks across her skin. "Turtwig... use Grass Knot." She got onto all fours and spread her legs apart for balance. Soon after the feeling of the grass like blades began to crawl over her skin, binding her down against the ground by her wrists and calves. Gardenia pulled on the plants and found they were satisfactory in keeping her bound. "Good... your doing very good Turtwig." Gulping a little she leaned her head down forward and pushed her hips higher towards the air. "Turtwig... use Vine Whip."

When the vines struck across her ass again she let out a painful yelp. Gardenia struggled against the grass bindings but found they were too thick for her to break. As the vines began to painfully whip her now, bound to the ground she could feel herself become aroused further between her legs. "Oh yes... use Vine Whip!" She was closing her eyes now and pulling against the bindings, unable to escape. It was so good, her special pleasure. To be restrained helplessly and beaten in this way made her feel so good inside she couldn't even describe it to anyone. Squeezing the grass in her fingers she panted feeling her needs slowly being met. She put her head down into the grass and squeezed her eyes tightly as the abuse brought her to her first climax of the night. Practically shouting into the ground Gardenia gasped for air and picked her head back up. "S-stop! Stop... stop..." Obediently following her commands the Turtwig held it's vines away from it's master, loosening the bindings of the grass knots around her limbs. Gardenia fell to her side on the soft grass, panting hard as she tried to push the pain and the pleasure, so hard to tell apart now, out of her head. The little Pokemon walked over by its master with some concern and Gardenia smiled and pet his head again.

"No worries, you did great." The Turtwig made another happy noise over receiving praise from his master and Gardenia gave a weak giggle at how cute it was. Getting the energy to finally sit up Gardenia reached back and unclasped her bra to expose breasts. The Turtwig blinked up at her and she shook her finger. "You should feel fortunate you know, not many people have ever been lucky enough to see this." Reaching down onto her hips she slid off her panties and noticed how wet she had gotten them. Would have to remember to do laundry tonight. Tossing the underwear aside she walked over by the edge of the pen and leaned over it to get inside her cargo pants pocket. Pulling out a bottle with a screw top she walked back into the middle of the pen and opened it up to let a clear liquid like substance pour out onto her skin. She took the time to rub it over her chest and down her stomach, all the way between her thighs and against her private area. When she was satisfied with the slick coverage Gardenia leaned back with her legs spread apart. "Turtwig, use Wrap."

The creature's vines unraveled from it's body again as they crawled over Gardenia's skin. It was no secret that Gardenia was obsessed with Grass-Type Pokemon (and hated Ghost-Type) but few knew the extent of her obsession. Or as she would say few knew the joy of Grass-Type as well as she did. When the vines began to creep around her body she shivered in ecstasy. Maybe a Pokemon couldn't provide the kind of love and touch that another person could, but they certainly could provide something as unique as themselves. The vines wrapped further around her body but careful to avoid her neck. When it had encompassed her in a bondage like hold it squeezed. Gardenia moaned out from the pressure, feeling the vines squish against her skin so satisfyingly. The nectar she had rubbed onto her body attracted the vine tips as well, causing them to rub that area with an attraction. Gardenia wiggled against her bonds. "Just... a little tighter..." She moaned as the pressure increased further, the vines wrapping around her breasts and squeezing them filling her with pleasure. Gardenia arched her back as she felt the vine tips stroking over her skin, absorbing the nectar she'd rubbed on herself. The vine tips teased at her nipples making her wiggle against the bonds further and moan out. "This is going soooo good!" She was yelling now but didn't care who might have heard, she was feeling far too good to hold back.

The vine tips began to slide between her cleavage and rub in opposite directions to drink up the nectar, making her pant further and wiggle her hips eagerly. She was ready, she was horny and while the helplessness of the bondage was satisfying she nearly couldn't wait to get to the climax. Once the vines had finished around her very erect nipples they slid down further and absorbed the nectar over her stomach. She was panting in anticipation, so close now she could nearly feel it. She flexed her muscles against the vines that squeezed back satisfyingly. When the vine tips reached between her legs they worked around her skin teasingly. Even without all the lubrication she'd rubbed on herself Gardenia was very wet down there now and she was biting her lip waiting. She knew she'd be rewarded though, she'd made sure to rub the slick nectar in that specific area. The vines crept about her pelvic region till discovering her pussy lips and began to prob her lightly searching for more of its nectar. The vine pushed in lightly and Gardenia let out a sensual moan that echoed through the green house. As the vine pressed deeper into her she tried to push her hips forward as best she could, still restrained but now moaning loudly and wildly.

"It's in there! It's in there! Look deep for it!" She gave commands in heated breaths to her pet as it explored her pussy, pushing its thick vine into her and wiggling around in search of its nectar. Gardenia closed her eyes tightly as she felt the pressure building inside. Gripping the vines near her arms with her fingers she squeezed hard, her pelvic muscles clenching around it as she let out a loud moan and climaxed around the probing vine. When she felt her body was finally satisfied and she could think clearly again she unclenched her muscles at let out a long breath. "Turtwig... stop with Wrap." The Pokemon responded, slipping the vines off it's master and making her coo as she felt them slide against her skin. When they had removed themselves from her body she collapsed on the grass again, panting hard. She reached up and pet her Pokemon gratefully. "It's... a pity... we can't do this... in the sun." She managed to squeak out through heavy breaths.

Once she felt like her body could remember how to move again she picked herself up off the comfortable bed of grass and walked over to the desk closest to the fenced area she was in. Grabbing a pencil and a clipboard she slid back down to sit on her butt on the grass and began to check things off. "Well... you had an increase in the pressure of your Wrap and your Grass Knot. Your Vine Whip felt the same but I think your doing that to protect me huh?" She smiled at the Pokemon who was just looking at her like it didn't really follow. "Also your vines have definitely gotten thicker! Over all I'd say your improving significantly every week. Keep this up and you'll be unstoppable Turtwig." The small Pokemon gave a happy cry and Gardenia nodded. "Okay time for you to rest and me too. I have a big night ahead of me after all." Gardenia picked up the Pokeball and recalled her Turtwig back inside. She herself got up and prepared to get dressed. She still had to prepare.

PAGE BREAK!!!

"And that's my method for strengthening Pokemon techniques. Any questions?" Gardenia smiled cheerfully to the group of mostly shocked and amazed women trainers. She'd spent the last hour going over the details of raising Pokemon, teaching Pokemon proper techniques, and finally ended with a detailed explanation of her entire self exercise from her private green house. Making sure to go into detail as to how it had improved her Turtwig's moves and how she could specifically tell its progress. After the speech there was mostly dead silence, including from her fellow gym leaders and friends Maylene and Candice who were visiting tonight to hang out with and support their friend from their own respective cities. Candice looked like she might pass out from the shock of everything she'd heard while Maylene had a wide eyed, awe-struck expression. "Anyone? No one has any questions on the lecture? You all understood perfectly? Oh yes! You in the back with the white hat." She pointed to the one raised hand in the crowd.

"Hi yes, I'm Dawn!" The dark haired girl in the white hat popped up out of her seat. "I wanted to ask, does it matter what kind of lingerie you wear when training your Pokemon?" Gardenia gave it some thought for a moment before coming back with a reply.

"I don't think it really matters honestly, but if you have any that is green with flower type patters it's more likely to catch your Grass-Type's attention." The girl nodded and sat back down. At least she looked happy to be educated, the rest of this crowd looked stunned and awed, although another woman managed to raise her hand. "Yes you?"

"Are you... are you sure this is really making your Pokemon stronger?" The girl asked, almost hesitantly like she was afraid to speak. Gardenia replied fearlessly.

"Of course! I swear to you I have seen three times the ability in my Turtwig alone using this method in a months time." She smiled to herself when that got the crowd talking amongst one another. Candice and Maylene were sitting in the front seats of the lecture so Gardenia was able to hear Candice scoff a bit under her breath.

"Jeez... she can't be serious with this crazy stuff." Candice mumbled over towards Maylene. "This is getting kind of embarrassing... maybe we should sneak out?" She tried to suggest it to her friend but nearly dropped her jaw to the floor when she saw Maylene's hand up for a question.

"Oh yes Maylene?" Gardenia smiled ready to answer another one.

"Do you um... do you think... it would work... on other Pokemon besides Grass-Type?" The girl was blushing red from the question and from the look on Candice's face it was a wonder if she would ever recover from the shock. Like the other questions Gardenia thought it through carefully and seriously.

"Well maybe, I've never tried it. If you want to give it a shot and let me know that would be fine." The pink haired girl sat back down quickly and hid her hand like it would hide the fact she'd asked the question in the first place. Candice was still in disbelief that anyone was taking all of this seriously. "Oh Caroline, do you have a question?" She pointed to the high school girl that was her pupil and shyly had her hand up. The girl stood up to ask her question and gulped a lump down her throat first.

"Well I um... I don't doubt that this... technique is effective but... what if my boyfriend doesn't approve?" Oh, a tricky one. Still this was why Gardenia liked her students; they were all thinkers rather than followers. She pondered this question over a bit longer than the others as she tried to phrase an answer.

"Well this is how I see it myself. You can train up to six Pokemon at once, but you should only have one man at a time. As long as your keeping just those seven, and treating each one with the love and respect that they deserve, I think it's all okay. He wont mind as long as your still with him honey." Caroline smiled in a respectful way to her mentor and nodded, sitting down in her chair again. "Despite the fact that one of those seven may be harder to train than the other six." She managed to get a laugh out of the crowd with that one. "Is that everybody? Any more questions? No... okay! Well that ends the lecture but I'm not done yet!" Gardenia reached behind her table where she'd been sitting in front of the crowd and pulled up a large box. Reaching inside she pulled out a vial and a bottle. "I've got a set of pollen and nectar to start your own training sessions at home, and I'm selling them for a reduced price tonight for you girls only! So line up and get your sample."

The women all looked at one another to see who would be the first one to make a move, all too shy to take a step. All that is except the white capped girl from earlier. She walked from the back of the room all the way to the front with confident strides. Gardenia smiled and offered the bottles. "Dawn was it? How many will you need?"

"Oh three please, I'm going on my journey so I'm not sure when I'll be back." Gardenia nodded and gathered two more sets, noticing more women were beginning to line up behind the girl, including Caroline. After making the sale she thanked the girl and informed her that she hoped to see her soon to with strong, beautiful Grass-Types. Dawn accepted happily, talking to herself absently, "Well now lets see who I can find that's selling green lingerie." She walked away from the crowd with the same confident strides as the other women began to shyly shuffle into the line to buy their samples too.

"This is totally insane." Candice mumbled to herself again not looking up at the crowd. "C'mon Maylene, lets get out of here before things get much weirder." She tried to get up with her friend but Maylene was already in line to buy some supplies for herself. Gardenia saw Candice's exhausted expression and tossed her one of the bottle sets, which Candice frantically managed to catch and looked at Gardenia puzzled. "Why are you giving me this?"

"I figured you weren't in line because you were out of money." Gardenia had that same happy, carefree smile that was so innocent in a way that it was impossible to be upset with her. "You can pay me back when we get dinner tonight."

"As if I'd use this..." Candice mumbled but slipped the bottles into her purse when she was sure no one was paying attention anymore.

So it went for the next thirty minutes as Gardenia sold out her entire stock of pollen and nectar. Not every trainer bought some but she sold enough doubles that it still was alright. When the crowd was nearly gone she waved to her friends who were by the exit. "I'll catch up with you guys after I clean up here!" She shouted across to the other gym leaders, Maylene waved back happily and Candice looked extremely embarrassed by her friend but waved as well. When the last of the people filed out the door Gardenia looked through her other favorite type of green; money! "Seems I sold pretty well tonight." She smiled to herself. Gardenia never thought it would be such a hit with the other trainers but once she found a technique that works she was more than willing to share it with everyone.

Gardenia went to the task of cleaning up the gym floor now that it wasn't being used any longer, she'd put the folding chairs away later though as she didn't want to keep her friends waiting too long. As she went to throw out the box that had her supplies in it she noticed there was one more vial set of pollen and nectar that she hadn't sold. Looking it over she got that same cheerful smile. "Well... maybe after dinner Roserade could use a little training session too." She giggled and pocketed the bottles while heading out the door. It was a good day, it would be a better night.
