Pokémon Training Sure Is Hard... (Andypants x Inspirit)

[Asbel]

When the tamer approached her, the Mareep's instincts immediately switched to the fight-or-flight response. Even if she needed to conserve the last of her energy, she ended up straining the last of her electrical power to intimidate the human. Sparks of electricity crackled from her hair and wool, then danced between the little cones on both sides of her head that acted like power lines to stabilize the amount of electricity her body generated. Too much would be bad for her, too.

The power she exerted gave out with a pathetic phut, but the little Mareep tried again when the tamer got too close, limbs pulled close to her body to generate as much electricity as she possibly could. However, when Jack surprised her by leaving food on the grass and retreating, she let her guard down if only for a moment to study the human's curious behavior. For now, sating her hunger was a priority before intimidating the human, so she reached a hand out to drag the food within her reach, taking both candy and bread in each of her hands. Again, she glanced up to the tamer before eating, literally just stuffing her face as if she had never had anything like food before.

Of course, the Mareep stopped in mid-bite to look up at the tamer again, still skeptical, but returned to her voracious eating in no more than a second until her face was covered in crumbs and candy bits. Although malnourished and exhausted, she managed to hum happily as she ate, the tail that had just been untangled from the bush thumping on the dirt. Again, she glanced at the tamer, then ate like it was a routine she had just adopted to be both full and safe at the same time, but it was difficult to ignore the temptations of food and only eat for short periods of time. She might have gotten careless, because by the time she started eating her second piece of bread, Jack had become something like a backdrop to her.

Jack had definitely been scared the few moments he saw the little Mareep start to charge up. He was half expecting her to shock him but what game instead of a pathetic phut. That was adorable in it's own right but at the same time sad. Jack watching as she pretty much started devouring the food he had set down, even smiling a little to see her so quickly chow down. She must have been starving. She would of course look at him as she ate, going between complete satisfaction that she was getting food to full on skeptism as she watched him. But it didn't take long for her to soon lose herself in stuff her face.

The man watched for no more then a minute before he would lightly toss the pokeball at her. Watching as it snapped open and hit her with it's red laser beam. Within seconds Mareep would be trapped inside, the pokeball snapping shut and resting on the ground. Jack watched for several moments, seeing the pokeball shake. When the shaking stopped he was quick to come over, a smirk on his face as he had caught his first pokemon! Mareep had gotten through about half of what he had given her, so he would quickly scoop up what was left before going back into New Bark Town. But with no PokeCenter Jack would have to bring her to Professor Elm.

There wasn't too much that Professor Elm could do, Jack would have to go to Cherry Grove if he wanted to use a PokeCenter. But what Professor Elm could do was let Jack up stairs into his house, there was food and items that he could use up there as well as clean up his Mareep. Jack would thank Elm before leaving, going right up stairs like he was told. Jack would go through Elm's fridge, more or less just grabbing random assortments of foods. Meat, veggies, breads, the works. He wasn't exactly sure what Mareep's ate but then again it would only take a simple pokedex reading to find out right?

None the less Jack would find himself in Elm's bathroom, a plate of random foods on the lowered toilet seat, the man standing there with the pokeball in hand. Taking a deep breath before he pressed the button pointed it towards the bathtub so Mareep would pop up in the tub. Hopefully she still wouldn't have the energy to shock him, then she could relax enough to see there was more food. Even a potion or two!

 

[Asbel]

It was safe to say that the capturing was more or less a painless process. The Mareep had been too absorbed eating that she had barely noticed the Pokéball tossed to her head (which had been really rude to interrupt a lady while she was eating!). The bread she had been eating disappeared with her into the "comforts" of the Pokéball, and it wasn't until much later that she was allowed outside again, just a bit rejuvenated in the contraption.

The Mareep blinked and looked around, wondering how she had gotten from grassy fields to inside a restroom of all places until she saw the tamer inside the enclosed space with her. She yelped in surprise, backing up against the white tiles until she felt like she could become one with it if she pressed any harder. But, again, there was that calmness in the atmosphere that convinced the girl that she was okay, that the tamer wasn't a threat, especially with food involved. Still highly skeptical of the man, she clutched the edge of the bathtub and leaned closer to the toilet lid, her curiosity getting the worst of her again.

The bell jingled around her neck and her tail slightly lifted the back of her dress as it raised up, barely showing the cute pair of cotton panties she wore underneath. She reached for the greens first, skipping the meat and showing more interest in the sweet potatoes and lettuce. Of course, to a wild Pokégirl whose diet only consisted of wild herbs, crops like sweet potatoes were a luxury to her. Eating the treat with the peel still on it, she glanced up to her tamer again, her blue eyes glinting with curiosity. It felt a little strange eating with someone watching her, even worse that it was the same person who had brought her here and put her in a tiny bathtub in who-knows-where.

"Thank you," she said cautiously, using what little she knew of the human language. "Thank you for the food."

 

[andypants1990]

Jack smiled, seeing her reaction being one must less hostile the he expected. She was already starting to look better! The Mareep definitely was shocked to find out where she was, but no more then a few minutes later was she grabbing food, eating away like she had been outside. It was good to see her strength returning. As creepy as it was Jack did stand there, just watching her eat and look at him. The awkwardness was sort of setting in the bathroom, at least until she broke the silence and thanked him. Jack nodding his head with a smile.

“You are welcome.” He said grabbing the two potions that were on the bathroom counter. “Ok, I have some potions. It isn't going to hurt but I have to give it to you.” Jack stated as he walked over, doing his best not to be intimidating before he was leaning over the girl. Pointing the little nozzle at her before pressing the button.

The healing mist that shot out of the potion soon working it's glorious magic to cure her of any pains or bruises. One potion to the next Jack would use all he was given till he ran out. “There much better.” Jack said with a smile. “We need to get you out of those cloths so we can clean them.” Jack stated, not exactly sure how willing or not she might be to stripping or him seeing her naked form.

 

[Asbel]

In response to the tamer's hospitality, a smile found its way onto the Mareep's lips. It was common knowledge that Mareeps were sociable creatures with endearing personalities. Although they were commonly used for farming purposes, they would bond quickly with their tamers and return whatever kindness was shown to them, after being a bit cautious.

The girl sat on her butt when he came close with something in his hand, and she wasn't sure what it was until the mist sprayed on her face and the pains that had been bothering her for days magically disappeared. Contrary to what he had said, the potion had stung just a little but it was quickly replaced with a lasting relief that covered her whole body. She looked over herself to make sure the bruises and scratches were gone, amazed at what the tamer could do. It was then that she realized he was helping her, but she knew she couldn't trust him completely.

The Mareep glanced down at her soiled clothes when he mentioned taking them off and reluctantly held onto them for a while. But, a moment or two later, she started wiggling out of her one piece and set it aside, now clad in nothing but a pair of pink cotton panties and a matching bra to compliment the ribbon and bell around her neck.

If there was one thing Mareeps loved more than food, it was grooming.

 

[andypants1990]

Jack waited for a few moments, it looking like Mareep wasn't going to give up her clothing. But before long she would be out of her dress, sitting there in matching panties and bra with her dress in her hands. Jack would slowly take it from her, doing his best to smile as he got a little static shock from the material. “Thank you.” He stated, standing back up to leave the bathroom. Just to really toss the dress into the washing machine. Once that was taken care of he would come back, she might have been all better now but she still was dirty. Still needed to be groomed.

So with his backpack on the floor Jack would come back over to the side of the tub, bringing a hand out to lightly pat her on the head to show her nothing was wrong. “I am going to wash you now.” Jack stated, looking down to her bra and panties for a few moments. “You need to take those off too so I can run a bath.” He said, wondering if she would be ok with that. Truth be told he was ready to bath and scrub her. But it wasn't like he was going to rip her cloths off and aim a hose at her or anything. That was just cruel!

 

[Asbel]

She shivered when her body finally realized it didn't have its winter dress anymore, but she did try her best to comply with Jack's wishes, even if she was still cautious and skeptical of him ninety nine percent of the time. Watching her take her clothes out of the restroom and coming back to pet her head, she might have given him a little zap accidentally since her hair was normally full of static electricity. That, and she was nervous so there was a lot more electrical activity happening in her body, now jumping back and forth between the small cones on her head.

Still saying nothing because she didn't want to more than she didn't know how, the Mareep reluctantly pulled her panties down to her ankles and tried to reach behind herself to undo the strap of her bra. Unfortunately, the clasp was hard to reach and so she gave up, looking at Jack for help.

 

[andypants1990]

The zaps were no more then sudden shocks. Sure they were surprising but nothing too painful. Jack watching as she slowly removed her panties, he would take them from her, setting them down on the bathroom floor before seeing her try to comply with her bra. The man smiled and reach over, slowly unclasping it and helping to remove her bra as well. Jack couldn't help but look at her naked form, the way her breasts showed no sign of sagging, the way her hips curved. He looked for a bit too long, quick to turn and put her bra with her panties.

Jack would reach over to the two handles, pulling on them to start putting water in the tub. The man keeping his hand under the nozzle to feel how hot or cold the water was getting, adjusting so the water was just right. Jack smiling as he removed his hand and let the tub fill up with water. With that out of the way he would let Mareep sit there for a bit. “Go under the water for a bit. Need to get your hair wet.” Jack said with a smile, reaching over to get some shampoo and conditioner.

 

[Asbel]

It was when the bra was taken off and the water turned on that the Mareep felt a little more relaxed, taken out of her uncomfortable state and put into a new and friendlier setting. With the promise of a warm bath, she settled in the water with a happy squeal and splashed it onto herself, the grime washing away but floating on top of the water the more she scrubbed herself with her bare hands. It was how she had done it in the wild with her sister, when the two of them would go to a lake and bathe themselves before any tamers would notice them.

She dipped her hair in the water and felt the static intensify just a bit before it died down, and then she continued to wash herself, making sure to scrub behind her ears and down the sides of her neck, even massaging her breasts like her Flaaffy sibling had done. The truth was that she was a little embarrassed of her b-cups whereas her sister had a bigger set of breasts that were close to large c-cups and d-cups.

Once again, she turned to Jack and stared at him for a long time, mostly wondering why he was helping her or why he was so kind. She wanted to ask him so many questions but the one she wanted to ask most came right out of her mouth: "Are you a tamer?"

 

[andypants1990]

Mareep was definitely starting to get clean, once she had brought her head back up Jack would start to work the shampoo and conditioner into her hair. The static electricity was being dampened at the moment, though he could definitely feel a little here and there. But there was no real danger in the moment as he cleaned her. She seemed very happy and very relaxed now, Jack smiling to see it. Though his eyes would wonder, when she would massage her own breasts, when she would look at him.

Jack had lost himself in thought when she would ask him what was on her mind. It taking Jack a few moments before it actually registered. “Well, I am trying to be.” Jack said, laughing softly as he scratched the back of his head with a wet hand. “Truth be told you are the first that I have come across. Just started this morning in fact.” He added, making sure to keep moving as he scooped up some water in his hands before raising it and letting the water fall on top of her head.

 

[Asbel]

"Oh," she responded, the clear 'oh' not really having much emotion or thought into it. So she figured they were on the same boat being beginners, which set her at ease knowing they would have to tackle things together. It was better traveling wherever with a tamer by her side, she knew, because then she would be safe and have some company if they were to visit Goldenrod again.

The more she thought of her family kidnapped and taken who-knows-where, the more she wanted to be on her feet again to look for the poachers. Granted, she was powerless on her own, but maybe Jack would be able to help her. The Mareep squeezed her eyes shut when the water was poured over her head, her hair matting down and the static electricity making soft buzzing sounds while her hair was wet. Brushing the hair away from her eyes, she then looked up at her tamer and smiled. "I'm Iris."
