Chapter 16 - Waning Restraint

'What the hell am I doing...?' Jason cursed inwardly, running across the sandy beach as if his life depended on it. His throat felt cold despite the tropical heat, pain gradually spread through his lungs, and he could feel his heart beating in his ears, and for what reason? The worst that would happen if he slowed down or stopped altogether was a pair of beautiful, extremely fit women tackling him to the ground and smothering him with cuddles...

Picking up his pace, Jason set his sights on the rocks at the end of the sloped, crescent-shaped beach. Korrina mentioned they were around a kilometer from Ellaine's house, so while he had never timed himself over such a distance, he believed he could reach them within five, maybe six minutes. But with Ellaine and especially Korrina almost assuredly twice, if not several times faster than him, he was going to be cutting it very, very close...

'It's a good thing I've been prioritizing my Vitality...' thought Jason, his rapidly heating body coated with sweat and his lungs feeling as though they were on fire, but his stamina holding over one, two, and then three minutes.

"Ready or not, here I come~!" echoed Korrina's voice, distant but carrying well over the water as she shouted at the top of her lungs. When he heard it, a chill permeated his body, as, while he was drawing closer and closer, he felt he was only halfway to his destination. If that were true, there was no way he would reach it in time.

'You have got...to be kidding me...' thought Jason, panting even in his thoughts as the sound of something fast broke the water gliding across the beach behind him. The gentle and persistent waves compacted the sand and made it easier to run on, and he wasn't the only one to realize this as Korrina closed the distance between them with speed that could overtake a car. Maybe not on the freeway, but definitely within a city...

"I'm getting closer~" chimed Korrina, sending a chill up Jason's spine as he felt like she was right behind him. In reality, there was still around a hundred meters separating them, but that distance was shrinking much faster than the distance between him and the rocks.

"Aaaaaaaaand gotcha!" exclaimed Korrina, leaping, or, more accurately, flipping over Jason to land in front of him with a mischievous expression and her hands raised like claws. Jason very briefly attempted to juke her, but she moved more than twice as fast to catch him, her slender but vice-like arms wrapping around him as she shouted, "Oh, no you don't" as she dragged him back and fell with him toward the sea.

"Ahahaha, that was so much fun~!" laughed Korrina, maintaining her hold on Jason as she stood up and raised him from the water. Around the same time, Ellaine caught up, looking and sounding a bit winded but beaming as she remarked, "As expected of a Gym Leader who specializes in Fighting-types. You're fast, Korrina..."

"I'm waaay faster on roller blades, but yeah—I've worked my butt off to try and catch up with Bea~" hummed Korrina, carrying Jason back to the shore before finally releasing him.

"Bea? If I'm not mistaken, that's the Fighting-type Gym Leader from the Galar Region," noted Ellaine, crossing her arms and shifting her weight as she remarked, "It makes sense that the two of you would be rivals. There aren't a lot of female Trainers who reach the peak specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon. Though I do remember hearing it's becoming more trendy thanks to Trainers like you, Bea, Maylene, and Mikan."

"Mhmm. Bea and I are competing to see who will be the first to break out of the Ultra League," revealed Korrina. "We both finished in the top twenty during the last WCS(World Coronation Series), but the competition seems to be growing fiercer each year."

'Am I being ignored...?' Jason wondered, looking between the two women as they happily conversed about things he had little to no knowledge of. The name Bea struck a chord with him, evoking memories of a grey-haired girl with dark skin, but nothing Pokemon-related came to mind when he heard the names Maylene or Mikan.

"Anyways, it looks like we've found a method to keep your reactions in check," remarked Ellaine, turning her attention to Jason's lower half as she smiled and surmised, "It looks like if we get your blood pumping to other areas of your body, the swelling subsides from your penis."

"That's not the only way to get it to subside," chimed Korrina, drawing Ellaine's curiosity as she unabashedly revealed, "If he strokes it with his hand, something white and sticky comes out with surprising force. After that, it deflates almost immediately."

"Oh? Do you think you could show me the next time it swells up...?" asked Ellaine, directing the question at Jason and smiling as she appended, "I'd also like to take a sample, but it will have to wait until we return to my lab. I don't have any sterile containers or test tubes on me."

"It's not impossible..." Jason conceded, averting his eyes. Fortunately, he was so winded and flushed from running, his complexion didn't change in the slightest. He had done a lot of thinking the previous night, and though he felt he shouldn't be exposing himself in front of women who weren't his girlfriends, he concluded he would lament it even more if he spurned their interest while it existed...

"Excellent. Then, for the time being, let's finish up this lap. Once we get back, I'll head inside to get started on breakfast. After that, I have some errands to perform in the city," stated Ellaine, taking the initiative to take off running at a visibly relaxed pace that was comparable to Jason's full sprint. If he had to clock her, the latter would guesstimate that she was running at close to thirty kilometers per hour. That suggested Korrina was capable of running in excess of sixty, maybe even seventy kilometers per hour—leaving Jason immensely curious about both women's Statuses. In the meantime, he had a [Laying the Foundation 3] circuit to complete and a long, exhausting, and stimulating day ahead of him...

Following a nearly two-and-a-half-hour training session, Jason, Korrina, and Audino returned to the interior of Ellaine's house, where she had long finished preparing a breakfast consisting almost exclusively of fruits, nuts, and fluffy, sweet-tasting bread.

"The two of you sure took your sweet time. I was starting to think you had gotten lost or eloped~" teased Ellaine, leaning back on her hands with her feet soaking in her Mantine's pool.

"Jason is really determined when it comes to training," remarked Korrina, casually removing her top as she added, "We're going to hop in the bath before eating. Do you want to join us?"

"Sure. I was actually hoping for that exact outcome," stated Ellaine, rising to her feet and taking the initiative to lead the way, still modeling her dark grey one-piece swimsuit. Jason did his best to stay calm as he followed a short distance behind Korrina, but as his eyes invariably gravitated to the mature woman's round and toned bottom, a fluttery feeling permeated his chest, and his body readily reacted...

Since her Munchlax would eventually evolve into a Snorlax, which could reach 250cm and weigh as much as a thousand kilograms, Ellaine's bath was a large room with a changing area containing a wooden bench, three showers, and a circular, continuous-flow bath that was kept slightly below room temperature. Akala Island maintained an average temperature of 27 degrees, with 78% humidity, so instead of soaking in warm or hot water, it was common to cool down after washing and rinsing yourself using white shower heads that could be detached from the wall.

After relocating to her bath, Ellaine noticed pretty quickly that Jason was already beginning to have a reaction, stoking her curiosity and prompting her to ask, "If you don't mind my asking, what about us incites your penis to swell up? Is there something specific, or do you simply have to find the girl attractive?" while peeling the straps of her dark grey bathing suit from her shoulders, sliding the fabric down her body, and once again revealing her naked form.

Though his throat tightened, and he began to shake slightly from his body releasing adrenaline despite his efforts to remain calm, Jason managed to answer, "Most guys from my world tend to fall into three categories: those with a preference for breasts, butts, and thighs. I happen to like large and shapely breasts. But in your and Korrina's case, I'm excited by everything about you...you're both amazing, beautiful, and though I haven't yet done anything to deserve it, you're kind and considerate to an extent I've never really encountered in my previous world..."

"I see..." muttered Ellaine, posing with her hands on her hips and holding Jason's gaze with a relaxed, unpretentious smile and a thoughtful look in her eyes. At the same time, Korrina, feeling that Jason had experienced a lot of pain and suffering in his previous world, surprised him by embracing him from behind, her right hand warming the left side of his chest, her left near the right side of his abdomen, and her pillowy breasts pressed to his shoulders as she softly asserted, "Everyone, be they people or Pokémon, deserves kindness and compassion, Jason..."

Noticing that the tent Jason was pitching was steadily increasing in size as Korrina made contact with him, Ellaine's suspicion that contact was a powerful stimulus to him was all but confirmed. That caused a thought to appear in her head, and since she also felt that Jason was in serious need of a hug, she stepped forward, causing his eyes to widen to their limits as she joined Korrina in embracing him from the front. Due to his swim trunks keeping the angle of his tent facing downward, this invariably caused him to settle between her thighs, but that was deliberate on Ellaine's part. She wanted to make it clear to him that she wasn't bothered by his quirk in the slightest, so she embraced him tightly and whispered, "You're safe here..." in a deep, motherly tone.

[Your relationship with the 1-Star Entity, [Ellaine Burnet], has changed to [Protected]. Current Bond Level: 1,993. Future gains will be increased by 50% as long as your relationship status remains unchanged.]

'These notifications are useful but insensitive...' thought Jason, doing his best to distract himself as he, very tentatively, reciprocated Ellaine's hug by placing his hands on her butt and giving it a gentle squeeze. His mind couldn't parse what was happening, but he still had the instincts of a man, compelling him to nestle as far as he could into Ellaine's thighs as he drew her hips closer to his own.

"Mmn...I can feel you twitching..." remarked Ellaine, sending chills across the surface of Jason's body with her casual and, to him, naturally sensual tone. Then, with a sincere and hopeful expression, she loosened her hold on his body but kept her lower half pressed to his as she met his gaze and asked, "Do you want my help?"

"I can also lend a hand," inserted Korrina, continuing to cradle Jason from behind as she noted, "I watched him do it this morning, so I already know what to do."

"Mmn, well, alright then..." conceded Ellaine, nodding approvingly before meeting Jason's gaze and questioning, "Is that okay with you? Or would you feel more comfortable handling things yourself?"

Though his initial impulse was to contend that he could and would handle things himself, Jason's elevated tensions and heightened instincts all but compelled him to affirm, "I don't mind..." with his cheeks feeling as though they were ablaze and his ears ringing.

"Then allow me to lend a hand in another way..." stated Ellaine, releasing Jason and making herself comfortable on the nearby wooden bench, wide enough that she could lean back, prop herself with her hands, and spread her legs as she noted, "You didn't mention it before, but this is what really gets you excited, isn't it? After all, the reason your penis swells like that is so it can go in a vagina, right?"

"That's not...inaccurate..." conceded Jason, his eyes fixated on the view Ellaine was readily providing him as Korrina casually pulled down the front of his dark grey swim trunks to free his swelling. Then, with a tone tinged with curiosity, she softly remarked, "Let me know if I'm being too rough or gripping it too tightly..." before proceeding to grab him with her right hand and imitate what he had done that morning. The absurdity of the situation had Jason completely statuesque, but as his mind gradually accepted the situation he was in, an irrepressible excitement swelled from the very core of his being...
