70 – Attention Grabbing
"Electroweb," Sparky said.
"Psh, not as good as Sticky Web," Gamma said as they summoned a ball of sticky white webbing in her hands.
"What? Way better. It's a web and electric too. Two for one."
"You can only do single shots. I can do whole nets with this." Gamma said as she stretched the web out and whipped it into a net; she swung it around on the end of a web lasso. "Way more versatile, and it makes people look like I painted them after fucking them, which is great for teasing."
"Damn, okay, that is pretty funny. I got Thunder Wave though!"
"What? Aw, nice." Gamma said and then smiled. "I got Electro Ball a week back."
Sparky puffed her cheeks out. "Could have let me have that one. I'm the second in our family to Thunder Wave after you."
"Do better, pipsqueak."
"You seen my Partner's legs? I'm doing the best of all of us."
Gamma tapped her chin as she tried to think up a response, her other three arms folded across her chest. "Okay, fine. You can have your first point, but don't get smug about it."
"You've been smug about your Wild Evolution for years. I'm going to be smug." Sparky grinned, "When Brandy helps me Evolve, I will be properly insufferable."
Brandy let Gamma and Sparky tease each other. After her intervention, Gamma hadn't been doing as well making the Joltik blush, and trying to get them to stop was impossible; you could only push against nature so much. At least she gave Sparky the weapons to win, and their sisterly bickering kept their cocks out of Paparika so they could talk to her.
Though she already had her mind set on a new target, her head rolled into Calcine's lap as she rubbed at the bulge through Calcine's shorts, the layered waves of her blue hair fluttering as Calcine stroked her fingers through Paprika's fancy hairstyle.
"I remember this," Paprika said, "It was always a long trip to get down to your mine to make sure you all weren't getting lonely. Finally decided to come out, Calcine?"
"I would if I felt someone would make it worth my time." Calcine tipped her hand to Brandy. "And someone did."
"You know each other?" Brandy said as she got a seat on the wall next to Paprika. Naked and skin shining with sweat, the red still glowed on Paprika's cheeks from Gamma's affections.
"Know her? I named her." Paprika said proudly. "Said I could have something after one of our sessions."
"I meant you could bind me, but I like the name." Calcine said, "And it's probably for the best. Not sure the Research assistant life is for me. I like the battling too much."
"To be fair," Brandy said and leaned over to give Calcine's cheek a peck of a kiss. Just to show she was okay with everything going on, Paprika wasn't doing anything heavy, but it was at least polite to make it clear you didn't have issues with any old flames. "We've had our share of 'researching' lately."
"Hey! Researchers aren't all about getting into Pokémon's pants." Paprika said through the fabric of Calcine's shorts as she tried to pull them down with her teeth. She blinked up at Brandy's disbelieving stare with the hem of Calcine's pants literally in her mouth, then with a shrug, kept at her tug of war to get Calcine naked. "Maybe I am right now, but that isn't all of it."
"Sometimes the pants come off themselves," Gamma said and gave Paprika's rear a series of slaps as she swung three arms past it. Each one had her moan right into Calcine's lap and mashed her face up against the hard length that struggled against Calcine's shorts.
"They also do Move Testing and take field notes, right?" Brandy said pointedly. "To make Trainer's lives easier."
"Just Brandy, please. We saw her use Confusion, Psycho Cut, Megahorn, and Dazzling Gleam."
"Let's go through it." Paprika said, "I want to hear the whole thing."
It was a long story to get through, and by the time she'd finished, Paprika had sat up and wedged herself between Calcine and Gamma, with Sparky on her lap. They all hung off her words as she described the rather intense and muddy experience she'd been through with Mercury. Sparky and Calcine had been there, but they seemed thrilled to hear about Brandy's experience so much that they didn't even chip in and just listened patiently. Paprika took some notes on her Pokédex; Brandy thought it was a special black one until she noticed the spots of red. It was just signed by Pokémon, and there'd been so many on there that it was almost painted black with marker pen.
Never underestimate a Researcher. What they lacked in fighting skills, they more than made up for in stamina and sheer enthusiasm.
"You sure it was Confusion, not Psybeam?" Paprika said as Brandy finished. "Trainers often confuse the two, I'm afraid."
"No beam," Calcine said. "She got me with it right away. Stiffened my limbs."
"Well, that seems clear cut, Dazzling Gleam, though? That's rare for a Rapidash here."
"It's Mercury," Brandy said. "I'm sure she has plenty of tricks we didn't see left. But the flash was a clear one."
"Well, there'll be a rush on her after this. People have wondered what Moves she's had since she turned up."
Brandy was reasonably sure that was part of the reason Mercury let her keep the knowledge. A fresh stream of Trainers to fight would no doubt let Mercury hone her skills. She'd have to push herself if she didn't want to get put in the Poké-center. It was strange even to care, but Brandy didn't want to disappoint Mercury when they next met. The Rapidash was a terror for sure, but one with some good intentions in there, and if Brandy could take what she brought, she'd get an experience to top all the ones she'd had so far.
"Okay, sent," Paprika said. "As long as Regional Admin confirms it, you'll get paid in the hour. If you lied, then you'll be in trouble!"
"She didn't," Calcine said and popped her mouth thoughtfully. "We should wait an hour to confirm it, just in case we need you to resend."
"An hour to wait?" Sparky groaned, "Oh no, what will we do? Gamma, do you have any ideas?"
Gamma picked Paprika up with a squeak and gave her side a bite. The Researcher gave a mewling groan that made Brandy wonder what Bug Bite felt like. Or even what Struggle Bug ... no, she wouldn't go there. Scoria could keep her secrets.
"Gamma might not share." Brandy said, "She was here first."
"I'll share." Gamma said, "But Paprika's got to score who is the better of Sparky and I."
"Oh, you're on!" Sparky grinned. "I've got tricks now."
Calcine flicked a little puff of flame at them both. "I'm involved too."
"A three-way contest! You're on. No way two Crackling Bugs lose to a Warm Rock."
"Paprika's not going to be able to say anything after that. I'll judge," Brandy said. It was her best shot to stay out of it. Her soreness hadn't faded from Mercury yet.
"Does the winner get a prize?" Gamma grinned.
"Win and find out," Brandy said and gave her legs a kick.
Brandy could feel their gaze on her as they followed the glimpse of her thighs and saw their eyes all glow a little brighter as they mentally picked out their own prize. Hopefully, this didn't end in her getting charged with Paprika's murder.
