[Ding, Host forced Ponyta to eat a large amount of Soul-Locking Pure Essence, feeding her full. Host acquires 1000 pervert points!]
"Pony…" Ponyta lay on her side with a bulging belly, panting with her tongue out like a pug.
But compared to before, her spirit was much better. The sluggishness was nearly gone.
"It feels pretty good… just a little hot…" Ace pulled up his pants and muttered.
At first, Ponyta had resisted, even spitting small flames at him.
Fortunately, Ace's physique was strong enough—otherwise he might've actually become a roasted hot dog.
Now, Ponyta's eyes were red, her belly was round, and her hind legs kept squeezing together.
She looked exactly like a little pervert horse.
When Ace turned to leave, Ponyta stood up, walked over to him, and lay down at his feet, rubbing her neck against his thigh with her eyes closed.
A clear sign of acknowledging him as her Trainer.
Ace's expression twitched.
It seemed Ponyta really liked the "food"…
He pulled out a cheap Team Rocket Poké Ball, pressed the release button, and gently rubbed Ponyta's head.
It wasn't a comfortable ball—Team Rocket's basic models were garbage. He'd get her a better one later.
"Pony~" Ponyta let out a cute cry, her fiery tail wagging.
Ace's heart stirred as her information popped up:
Ponyta ♦ Lv17 (Junior)
Ability: Flame Body
Affection: 100 (Max 255)
Held Item: None
Talent: Intermediate (Severely Damaged)
Moves: Growl, Tackle, Ember
Description: Ponyta, having ingested a large amount of high-concentration Soul-Locking Pure Essence, has replenished her lost vitality. Her abilities are still improving as her body absorbs the pure essence.
"Good heavens… this stuff has effects like that?"
Ace wiped a bit of residue from Ponyta's mouth, wanting to inspect it, but she instantly clamped her mouth over his hand and swallowed everything.
She wasn't going to waste a single drop.
"Alright then. From now on, this will be your food."
After all, it was abundant, filling, and as long as she sucked hard enough, it would never run out.
"Pony~" Ponyta rubbed her head against his hand, then slowly lay down.
She'd eaten too much at once and felt sleepy.
That made things even more convenient for Ace.
Looking at her strong horse legs and firm hindquarters, Ace grinned and reached his hand in…
"P-Pony—~!!"
A moment later, Ponyta let out a shrill cry before collapsing softly onto the ground.
Ace then slipped his hand into her mouth so she could help clean it.
[Ding, Host relieved Ponyta's worries. Host acquires 2000 pervert points!]
Listening to the system broadcast while Ponyta gazed at him with foggy eyes made Ace's smile widen.
From what he could tell, Ponyta was still in her "original state."
"Pony~…"
Ponyta gently bit his finger, not knowing what kind of perverted thoughts were swirling inside her Trainer's head…
Over the next two days, besides satisfying Ponyta's cravings, Ace also helped Nanami with laundry.
But since the whole "face-sitting" incident, Nanami had been avoiding him.
Every time she saw him, she would blush, panic, and run off, giving him no chance to tease her.
Every evening, Ace visited Ash's house with his already-stained underwear.
Under the pretense of borrowing the restroom, he'd leave it in the bathroom.
And every time he left, Delia would hand him a basket of dirty laundry to take back.
Each basket always contained underwear of different styles and colors.
An unspoken understanding slowly formed between him and Delia.
[Ding, Delia ingested a large amount of fresh pure essence. Host acquires 100 pervert points!]
[Congratulations, Host—Pervert Rank increased to Lv3 (Intermediate Pervert)! Reward has been sent to system space!]
Ace had just left Ash's house, Delia's lace underwear in his mouth as he enjoyed the fresh evening breeze, when the system notification chimed.
"Finally upgraded, huh…"
Ace grinned.
He'd realized that doing the same thing repeatedly to the same target drastically reduced pervert point rewards.
Delia's first time eating it earned him 1000 points. After that, it dropped to 100.
Still, with Delia and Ponyta, Ace's point-farming was speeding along nicely.
He mentally opened his status panel:
Personal Panel
Name: Ace
Age: 18.2
Height: 159 cm
Length: 21 cm
Diameter: 3.8 cm
Physique: Lv31 Advanced (+)
Special Abilities: Pervert Aura, Soul-Locking Pure Essence
Pervert Rank: Lv3 Intermediate Pervert (10,000 / 100,000)
Pervert Points: 7,300
Ponyta Panel
Ponyta ♦ Lv22 (Intermediate)
Ability: Flame Body
Affection: 180 (Max 255)
Held Item: None
Talent: Intermediate (Severely Damaged)
Moves: Growl, Tackle, Ember, Flame Charge
Ponyta's growth was impressive, but Ace hadn't officially captured her yet, so stat allocation wasn't available.
Since she was his designated "wife-beast," he had to restore her talent and strengthen her properly.
"It's time to get you a home," Ace patted Ponyta's side with a smile.
"Pony~" Ponyta turned and affectionately licked his cheek.
Ever since recovering, she had carried Ace around town every day to deliver and collect laundry—much faster than using a tiny cart.
Ace directed Ponyta toward the Pokémon Lab and sank his consciousness into the system's lottery page.
[Ding, initiating pervert points lottery. Large balance detected. Host has gained one Critical Lottery Chance. Spending 10× points guarantees a rare item!]
"10× is only 1000 points… System, give me 1300 points worth!"
[Ding, consuming 1300 pervert points. Host acquires: Regional Form Change Potion (Rare), Luxury Ball ×2, Fire Stone ×1!]
Regional Form Change Potion (Rare):
Allows a Pokémon to freely switch regional forms. Each switch consumes heavy stamina.
Luxury Ball:
A Poké Ball with an extremely comfortable interior. Pokémon resting inside continuously gain Affection.
(Pervert System bonus: No 6-Poké-Ball limit.)
Fire Stone:
Contains pure fire element energy. Can evolve certain Fire-type Pokémon or rapidly boost Fire-type levels.
"Good, good, good… someone bringing me a pillow when I'm sleepy…"
Ace was thrilled. All three items would benefit Ponyta.
Ponyta had a Galarian form in Generation 8—a beautiful Psychic-type with an elegant appearance.
Ace dismounted, pulled out a sleek black-gold Luxury Ball, and with an unusually serious tone, asked.
"Ponyta… from today on, will you be my partner?"
"Pony~!"
Ponyta lowered her head and tapped the ball's switch.
Snap!
Red light enveloped her and she entered the ball.
Ding!
The Luxury Ball didn't even shake—starlight sparkled instantly.
A perfect capture.
Ace's lips curled up, "Finally… I have my first Pokémon."
