The next morning.
Gardevoir didn't know how long she had been exercising or how much "spring water" she had squirted. She only knew she was stuffed full of "cream puffs."
Spiritually, she had reached the pinnacle of enjoyment. She couldn't believe anything could feel this good; drool was dripping from the corner of her mouth onto her chest. Physically, her waist was sore from the all-night grinding, and her flower core was numb from the pounding.
With one final, violent shudder, she released the last of her fluids and collapsed into her master's arms, exhausted.
But instead of a familiar chest, she landed on a soft, small body.
Gardevoir was confused. When did my man grow such a large pocket of fat? I didn't notice it all night.
She focused her blurry eyes and jolted awake. That wasn't fat! That was her precious baby!
Holy shit! Why is my daughter sleeping limply on my man's chest too?!
He held her naked body all night while having intense sex with me???
That's basically a mother-daughter threesome!
She's so young! How could he?!
"Li Yuan!!!"
Gardevoir's telepathic scream exploded in Li Yuan's brain like a bomb, jolting him out of his sweet mother-daughter dream.
"What? Enemy attack?" Li Yuan woke up with a start, looking around vigilantly. He deliberately made a move to protect Ralts first, showing he prioritized her safety.
In reality, he had rehearsed this. He knew Gardevoir would explode when she woke up and saw him naked with her daughter. Any mother would.
"Explain this! Why is Ralts on top of you?!" Gardevoir raged.
"Oh? That? I thought something serious happened," Li Yuan pretended to relax, looking at his wife helplessly.
"This is serious! She's a child! You beast, how could you?!" Gardevoir gritted her teeth, on the verge of violence.
"Wait, you're misunderstanding. I didn't do anything to our Little Cotton Jacket," Li Yuan soothed.
"Then why is she on you? Don't you know what we were doing?" Gardevoir demanded.
You holding her naked is bad enough, but doing it while inside me? That's involving her in our act!
"Did you forget she's my Pokémon too? You wanted to be close to me; why wouldn't she?" Li Yuan explained.
"If she wants it, you just give it? She doesn't know better, but you do!"
"Come on, it's just a hug. It's not as complex as you think. Besides, being close to me is great for her growth. In any aspect, this isn't worth surprising over. You're just too old-fashioned."
"Stop making up nonsense. What benefit does sleeping with you give her at this age?"
"Don't you know? Every trainer knows there is a bond between human and Pokémon. The closer the relationship, the higher the growth potential."
"Heh. That's the first time I've heard 'naked sleeping' increases growth potential. If you want to lie, pick a better one," Gardevoir didn't buy it. If hugging made you a god, why train?
You just want to be lewd! Do you think I'm easy to fool?
"I don't need to lie. Once our intimacy is high enough, you'll understand. Or ask anyone in the city; see if I'm lying," Li Yuan insisted.
Gardevoir fell silent. If he was willing to let her verify it in the city, maybe he wasn't lying?
Could he be right? Does sex really increase growth potential?
But... listen to yourself! That's absurd!
"Alright, alright. I promise, before Ralts reaches her final evolution, I absolutely won't 'take' her. Just trust your trainer once, okay?" Li Yuan pleaded.
Instead of forgiveness, Gardevoir gave him a look of utter disgust.
What do you mean 'before final evolution'? So you're admitting you plan to take her eventually?
You say that in front of her mother and expect not to get hit?
What sin did I commit to end up with a beast like this?
"Hmph! If Ralts doesn't reach Tsareena's level in a few years, I will deal with you," Gardevoir suppressed the urge to hit him and chose to trust his "ghost talk" one more time.
Of course, she would verify the "Bond Power" theory in the city. If he lied, she'd settle old and new scores together.
"That's nothing. I can even tell you a secret: I know a technique to use Bond Power for evolution. If our intimacy is high enough, I can make you evolve again," Li Yuan whispered mysteriously.
"Keep blowing hot air. I know my own body. Do you think I don't know if I can evolve?" Gardevoir scoffed.
Her potential had been wasted during years of hard survival. Her growth period was over. Improving even a little was hard now; evolving again was impossible. There was no fourth stage for Gardevoir. Did a human know her species better than she did?
"You just need to trust your trainer. I have a way for your body. I can make up for the deficits of the past years. So stop focusing only on your daughter; have some ambition to reach the peak yourself," Li Yuan encouraged her.
Most trainers bought Pokémon from breeders because wild ones, especially evolved ones, had wasted their potential starving and fighting without proper care. A wild Gardevoir reaching Senior rank was impressive, but she was capped.
Normally, she would be stuck at Senior rank forever. But Li Yuan's Aura specialized in unlocking latent potential.
And she wasn't just any Gardevoir; she was a Shiny. She had untapped racial potential. He could use Life Energy Cubes to repair her past deficits. Reaching the peak wasn't impossible.
It was a Shiny Gardevoir; he wasn't going to let her stay weak.
"I... I'll try my best," Gardevoir was moved.
Most Pokémon lived for battle. Who could accept being stuck forever? Although she didn't know if he could do it, she wanted to believe him.
All I have to do is be more intimate with him?
I already had sex with him all night. What's a little more intimacy?
Gardevoir rode the still-hard object inside her again. Her flower core felt comfortable being poked. Maybe I should do it a few more times?
