34 – Fishy Business

"So, was this a plan to drown Maple?" Sparky asked as she sat beside Brandy.

Brandy just ignored her. She had a campfire to build! Luckily this place was a nice fireplace spot, so she hadn't had to wander off to find logs and pick up the damp piles people had left for her. Getting a fire going was going to be rough, but she had a plan there too.

Calcine was holding onto her umbrella and huddling right in the middle. Her legs curled up to her chest so they wouldn't get splashed by the rain droplets. She gave Brandy a thin stare as Brandy stacked logs around her.

"I'm not feeling hot right now," Calcine huffed, but she kept still, so the wood piled around her wouldn't fall out.

"You're about to watch Maple try to capture her first. I think you'll get there." Brandy said, clicking her tongue thoughtfully. "Why do you not like rain, anyway?"

"Water makes me soft, which for you is like being ... hot?" she chews her lip. "Like when you think about Bunny and Shark Pokémon."

"They are not my type!" Brandy says, only half lying. They were, but weren't all Pokémon? It didn't count. "And what's wrong with being hot? You get hot all the time."

Calcine reached out to stroke under Brandy's chin. Her fingers were stiff and cold. "Is this sexy?"

"I mean," Brandy chewed her bottom lip, "More uncomfortable, but it should be? Sorry"

"No, that's the point. Water makes me feel like I should be worked up, but it's missing the heat inside. Feels all weird, like when you're horny, but want to focus on other things."

"Things like this!" Sparky said, waving her hands at Maple swimming out in the pond. "I love you being sappy, but come on, focus!"

Brandy finished stacking up the wood around Calcine so it formed a protective wall from the rain around her legs and then went and grabbed Sparky, dragging her over to Calcine's Umbrella and dropping her in under it so they could shield Calcine's sides by huddling up to her. The efforts to make her more comfortable got a smile out of Calcine, which made it worth it. Dry firewood was just going to be a bonus.

"Like hugging a rock," Sparky snorted, worming her way under Calcine's arm and laying her head on her chest as she watched out over the lake. "Better appreciate this. You're nicer, all warmed up."

"Aww, you said I'm nice" Calcine ruffled Sparky's soft blonde hair, the Joltik gnashing at her hands playfully as Brandy settled in the other side, happy to let them tease each other for a change.

Maple was an incredible swimmer, which Brandy had never thought to question because Maple was good at everything.

She wasn't moving fast, but moved with grace and fluidity to float along the pond's surface. Her arms were fanning along the water to keep herself up, using as little energy as possible as she drifted there. There was only the faintest of a tremble from the cold water, clearly not wanting to show weakness to the crowd watching her. Trainers were expected to be used to people watching them have sex. In any tournament, bar the absolute strangest, you'd have sex in front of enormous crowds.

There was no escaping it. You'd at least have one human watching you, even with smaller practice fights.

"She must be freezing her tits off." Sparky was still shuffling to warm up Calcine, clearly chilly herself. "If nothing turns up, she will use her nipples to cut you into pieces."

"This is awesome," Sparky said, voice lost in her reverence of the moment. It summed up Brandy's thoughts perfectly. It really was.

Mahi and Maple stopped in their struggles, staring daggers at each other. Maple's blonde hair was a soaked mess that had snarled itself behind her. In revenge, Maple had curled up Mahi's long red hair in her fist, and the Trainer was using the leverage it gave to tug Mahi about.

"I'm not letting go until you admit defeat," Maple growled at Mahi. It impressed Brandy how hard she hit her words. She was getting goosebumps from over here. Up close, Maple's declaration must have cut right down into Mahi's hindbrain and pushed a few buttons.

Mahi's eyes widened. Maple's grip loosened slightly, but she held Mahi in place, Mahi's long red hair drifting in the pond around Maple's fist.

"Oh, you're trying to capture me?" Mahi said, her frills flickering against her body. It was strange to have a dress as part of your body, but damn if Mahi didn't make it work for her.

"Yes? Yes!" Maple said, staring at the Goldeen suspiciously. Brandy tried to hold in a giggle. It would be mean to tease at how badly this was going. She'd not done much better her first time.

The pair awkwardly stared into each other's eyes. As the penny finally dropped, their lips crashed together, and they began furiously making out, water splashing around them as they tasted each other's tongues.

"Well, they're compatible," Calcine said, warm enough now the logs were finally drying out. "No denying that."

"Holy shit," Sparky was wide-eyed, staring at the pair in the water as they both showed off their lung capacity by letting the kiss drag on and on. "I want to kiss like that."

"We can practice later" Brandy blew Sparky a kiss, and Sparky's cheeks sparkled with static. Cute blush! Though tussling with that electric tongue was dangerous, Sparky knew how to use it.

Maple was voracious, moving from Mahi's mouth to get the Goldeen making spluttering gasps as Maple kissed down along her neck.

"Am I good enough now?" Maple said breathlessly, licking along Mahi's jaw. Her hands groped at Mahi's breasts, a gasp escaping the Goldeen as Maple mashed away with her fingers at that ample chest. It looked like pure furious lust, but Brandy had a little experience squeezing boobs now and knew technique when she saw it. Maple was giving her best for Mahi, and the poor Water Pokémon couldn't handle it.

"You are so fucking good," Mahi panted, one hand slipping down Maple's back to cup the Trainer's ass cheek. The pair were still flattering in and out of kisses, their tongues dancing together as Maple slowly pushed Mahi backwards into the pond. "Wait. I want something if it's all right?"

"Hrm?" Maple had puffed herself up after the compliment, looking as pleased as if she'd already won. She nodded, and Mahi leaned in to whisper together conspiratorially. After a brisk back and forth, Maple cups a hand to her mouth and calls out over the waters.

"Brandy? Can you come here a minute, please? You could be of some help" Maple's voice was saccharine sweet like she was about to ask for a favour and wanted to butter up Brandy because she would no doubt say no.

She was wrong. Brandy couldn't even think of refusing because she'd promised to help Maple here. She was committed, and her clothes were soaked already. She might as well get in there. Calcine patted her ass to push her forward as she stepped out into the thin rain. Then she saw it.

For a Goldeen, Mahi had a smile that would have made a Carvanha proud.

Brandy didn't like where this was going. Oh, she didn't like this at all.
