Chapter 48 - Lesson 1: A Connection

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Fluttershy asked. She was sitting up front in the passenger seat as Micro used his bots to form additional seats in the back of the van. It took a good deal of concentration to prevent them from flying all over since Sugar was driving like a mad man.

"Not sure yet," Sugar said. "I just followed my instincts. I think the Life Fibers of the uniform helped guide me."

As he hit a large bump he looked over and watched Fluttershy's breasts bounce.

"Hey," Fluttershy said catching his attention. "Keep your eyes on the road, not my chest. We get into a crash and I will tell everyone at school what you look like naked."

Sugar blushed, having forgotten she had seen him transform, and focused on the road. He could just barely hear Fluttershy speak again.

"Not that you have anything to be ashamed of…." she muttered. He blushed crimson but had a slight smirk on his face.

Forest

Micro and Fluttershy were walking along the same path they went after their date. Spike and Sugar had left when they got to the edge of the woods, understanding that they shouldn't risk angering the dryad, despite the ruling of the elders.

"So…" Micro said, a teasing smirk on his face. "I heard you tease Sugar a bit." Instead of blushing, Fluttershy rolled her eyes. He noticed that when she was with those that knew her secret, she didn't put on the shy girl act as much.

"You're not jealous are you?" She grinned at him. He fought his blush as he pretended to think on it.

"Well, I already have Scootaloo and Chara, so I don't see what I would have to be jealous of Sugar for."

Suddenly he found himself with his back pressed against a tree.

"Oh…I'm not enough to invoke jealousy?" Fluttershy had commanded a vine to pull him back as she walked up to him with a sway in her hips. Micro tried to remain unfazed.

"What do you have to offer that my current girlfriends don't?" He joked. Fluttershy pressed her massive chest against his face.

"I can think of a few things." Her fingers brushed his inner thigh. Before Micro could respond however…

"Are you half vampire or succubus you tramp?" Winter Fields said as she walked out of the back of the tree Micro was tied to. Fluttershy turned to her.

"Says the voyeur who was watching from the start! I see you still are wearing your leaves. What's your first lesson for him going to be? How to strip you naked from a distance!"

"Is blood the only thing of his you suck?"

"Or maybe it will be vine bondage!"

"He's probably not the first guy you let impale you with his wooden stake!"

"Or maybe you'll teach him how to plow you Fields!"

"ENOUGH!"

The two girls stopped as Micro used a small burst of fire to free himself from the vine. He looked up at the two dryads.

"I get that you two don't like each other, but for crying out loud can you not antagonize one another?"

The two girls looked at each other through narrow eyes but didn't say anything. Fluttershy flitted over to a nearby tree to relax and watch Micro's lesson.

"Ok then," Winter said as she turned toward the boy. "I don't know how the hell you can do nature magic when you're not a dryad, but we shall start with the basics. First step…"

"Oh wait," Micro said, much to Winter's annoyance. "I forgot one thing."

He reached into his inventory and pulled out his pokeballs. Throwing them into the air, they all popped open and released his team.

Litten stretches its back and looked around the new area before seeing Fluttershy. He padded over and the pink haired girl squee'd as she picked him up and hugged him to her chest. She then realized what she just did and looked up to see Micro smirking.

"Beware the big bad vampire," he said.

"Shut up! I like cute animals ok!" She blushed as Chimchar tried to jump onto her chest as well. Treecko swatted him down with his tail as Fenniken walked up and cuddled in Fluttershy's lap. Froakie and Totodile both walked off to a nearby stream as Snivy climbed up onto a branch with Treecko to rest.

"What type of animals are those?!" Winter asked as she walked to the stream and looked at the two water types.

"They're from a series called Pokémon," Micro said as he patted Chimchar's head. "Another part of my ability."

"Totodile and Froakie huh?" Winter said as she pet the two water type's heads with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

If it was possible, the two Pokémon seemed to blush at the attention.

"How'd you know their names?" Micro questioned. He hadn't said them and she didn't know the series.

"They told me," she said as if it were the most obvious thing. "Since they're your partners, I will teach you how to do that first. But first, you have to establish a connection to nature."

"What do you mean?" Winter looked over at Fluttershy.

"Did you tell him anything?"

"Teaching him is your job," Fluttershy said. "It was your punishment for lying so I'm not helping you."

Winter sighed at that and turned to Micro.

"Before learning to use nature magic, you have to connect your magic to nature itself."

"Ok, so what do I have to do to do that?"

"Well, the first thing is to remove anything from your body that didn't come from nature." Micro blushed at that.

"Does that mean...I…"

"She wants you to get naked," Fluttershy said. Winter turned to her blushing and angry.

"Not in that way!" She yelled. "Besides I-"

"I...I'm ready."

Both girls turned to see Micro sitting on the grass without any clothes. He was sitting with his legs crossed so Fluttershy being off to the side and low to the ground couldn't see anything. The close by and standing up Winter however…

"Holy Demeter…." she muttered. Realizing what she said, she blushed and closed her eyes. "You damned impatient pervert! I had this for you!"

She tossed him what basically looked like a grass skirt.

"Oh," Micro mumbles turning crimson. He quickly dropped the skirt into his inventory and equipped it. Fluttershy was on the ground laughing.

"Invoking Demeter's name Winter? Reconsidering your lesson plans?"

Teacher and student blushed further at that but ignored her.

"Now, focus on your magic and extend it out to the surrounding area. Recognize everything as its own living creature, even the individual blades of grass."

Micro nodded and shut his eyes. He imagined his magic covering the clearing like a blanket. He felt the two dryads, the Pokémon, the plants.

"Now, imagine yourself becoming one with it, and draw your magic back in. You may feel some resistance, but instead or fighting it, coax it to join you. It's nature, wanting to keep its connection to you."

The young gamer tried this, but found it difficult. How could he coax something without form?

'What...what if I gave it a form?' He thought to himself.

The image of the young dryads he met, Winter, Treehugger, and of course Fluttershy, came to his mind. He took Treehugger and Fluttershy's hand and they in turn took Winter's. They tried to pull him toward them, out to join the forest, but he smiled at them. With a gentle tug he pulled them closer. They were hesitant, but soon nodded and embraced him, their chests surrounding his head. They giggled a bit before he felt them dissolve and flow into him.

"Wow," he said, the power giving him a euphoric feeling. "That was-"

SMACK!

Micro was knocked flat on his back before looking up and seeing a blushing, angry Winter.

"This is a sacred ritual that all dryads go through to learn to control their powers...and you...just what perverted thoughts were you thinking?!"

The boy blushed as he looked down to see...Well...let's just say the grass skirt didn't provide much resistance. There was silence for a moment before Fluttershy said.

"Well he must be connected to nature with wood like that."
