Battle Rewards

The drive to her place was quite freeing. I had never been on a motorcycle before, and Nemona handled the roads with ease. The trip was really short, but it was nice to feel the wind in my hair.

Once we arrived, she drove down to the beach and then stopped at the arena area we had battled before. Nemona hopped off, then I got after her, but she grabbed me by the hand, dragging me to the pad.

"You owe me a battle! So, before we get to adventuring, I want to see what kind of Pokémon you have caught so far!" Nemona laughed and then pulled me close. "And we have to decide what reward there will be for the winner!"

Nemona's face was really close to mine, but she smelled really good.

"Sure; what did you have in mind for the reward?" I asked, and Nemona smirked.

"If you win, I will let you get a feel of the goods and a kiss! I might even throw a little tongue in there, you know, get crazy!" Nemona laughed as she squeezed her big breasts.

"I am not going to complain about that!" I laughed but then grinned. "So then, what is it that you want?"

"Well, if I win, then you have to take me on a date that I would find romantic! And you have to ask me out in a romantic way! That does not mean doing it right after you lose, got it?! I don't want some pity talk after you lose; I want you to make me feel like you mean it, got it?!" Nemona snapped and then turned away before her face could turn a solid red.

I nodded and smiled but then got serious. "Well, you asked for it! Win or lose, I still feel like the winner, but that doesn't mean I am going to hold back! Your offer seems too good to pass up!"

"Ahhh! I like confidence! Let's battle!" Nemona shouted and then released her level 15 Lechonk.

I summoned a Pokeball and grinned, clicking the button. "Go, Popsicle!"

My level 8 Pawmi appeared in the plain white dress, and Nemona's eyes bulged.

"You caught a Pawmi?! Why is she so pretty?! Gah! How am I supposed to compete with that cuteness?! I love my Pawmot, but this is too much!" Nemona explained, and Pawmi looked at me with a confused look.

"What is wrong with this trainer?" Popsicle asked, and I shrugged.

"She thinks you are cute," I said with a smile, but then I got serious. "Are you ready, or do you want some cuddle time with my Pawmi first?"

"Ha! You might think you can distract me, but I am still winning this! Now more than ever!" Nemona declared as she got fired up. "Go, Lechonk! Mud shot!"

Her pokemon launched a stream of mud at Popsicle, but I was ready.

"Popsicle! Use Thundershock! Then follow up with Quick Attack!" I commanded, and my pokemon followed my orders. Lechonk was shocked by the thunder, but the quick attack allowed Popsicle to get in close and launch another Thundershock.

"Lechonk! Dodge it!" Nemona shouted, but her pokemon was too slow. The next moment, I heard a sharp cry of pain as Lechonk fainted into the ground.

"Yes! We did it! Good job, Popsicle!" I cheered and ran over to my pokemon, hugging her tightly.

Nemona sighed and shook her head before she walked over to us and gave me a hug. "Good battle; you really have some powerful pokemon," she said before pulling away from me.

My cheeks felt sore from blushing, and I could only laugh nervously. "Yeah, thanks," I mumbled and then looked away.

Nemona smiled and walked back to her Lechonk, bringing it back to life with a Revive. Once the pokemon was awake, she turned to me and winked.

"Now, about that reward..." She trailed off, and I could feel my heart rate increase.

I tried to look away, but Nemona grabbed my chin and forced me to look at her. Before I knew what was happening, her lips were pressed against mine. My body felt frozen in place, and all I could do was let the kiss continue.

After a few moments, Nemona pulled away, leaving both of us breathless. She smiled and brushed my hair out of my face, causing me to blush even more.

"That is why you never want to gamble against someone like me," Nemona laughed, and I could only nod, still too shocked to speak. "But, you are going to have to wait to get a feel of these goods, haha... can't let you have all of me at once!"

I laughed and smiled, but my voice still didn't want to come out. "Uhh, yeah... I can understand that" I finally managed to get out, and Nemona just laughed again.

"Well then, I guess you will have to take me out on this date, won't you?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Wait! I still have to ask you out! Or I was supposed to if you won, right? I mean, I still want to ask you out, but you said that I was supposed to wait, right? I am confused," I said, and Nemona just laughed.

"Oh, Landon! You are such an adorable knight in shining armor!" She laughed and then kissed my forehead. "You really don't have to ask me out tonight, but I would love for you to take me out sometime soon."

I nodded and smiled, blushing a bit again. "It's a date. That is if you want it to be."

"Wait! No! You have to do it romantically! I have never been on a date with a guy, so I kinda want it to be special, you know? I know that you are not like other guys, and I really don't get why you want so many girlfriends, but there is something about you. So, go big or go home!" Nemona said with a wink.
