New Quest! Beautification Elevation!

"You have to go? Can't we play more?" Popsicle asked, but I shook my head. We were both up now, and I was fully dressed.

"You can go see what Lumi, my Cosmog, or Nurse Joy is doing, and there is also Lusamine. You just have to close your eyes and think of where you want to go," I explained, and Popsicle's eyes lit up.

"There are other Pokémon I can see? What's a Nurse Joy?" Popsicle asked, and I grinned.

"You'll figure it out!" I said and then gave her a quick hug before closing my eyes and reopening them at the edge of a lake.

I felt bad about leaving Popsicle like that, but I wanted to get out and explore today. I was going to also stop by history and math in the afternoon, so I really had to get a move on the day to meet up with the girls.

At the same time, I didn't want to rush this with Feebas since I knew that she was going to be a bit more of a sensitive Pokémon.

Speaking of my Pokémon, where was Feebas?

"Feebas!" I called out with hands cupped over my mouth, but there was still no sign of her, but I really wasn't sure what I was even looking for. What was a Paradise Feebas going to look like?

[New Quest Activated!]

[Beautification Elevation!: Help your Feebas evolve.]

Huh? I paused, but I was running a blank on what level Feebas evolves at.

[Feebas can evolve at any level, but you need to get her beauty stat high enough. This means that you will not only have to show her that others think she is beautiful, but she has to believe it herself. This Quest is not one that you are going to finish right away, and it is going to take time. I think that you should give her some more time because she is sitting at the bottom of the pool. Maybe just try stopping by once or twice a day.]

Ah, right. I had a feeling that this was going to be a long-term project, but okay. I would do my best to show her that she was beautiful in her own way.

"It's okay, Feebas! I'm here!" I called out, hoping that I would hear something back.

No reply.

I kept calling, and eventually, Feebas poked her head out of the water. She had a blue triangle on her head like her Pokémon form, but her face was tanned and pock-marked.

"Hello, Trainer," she said as she slowly floated over to me. "Are you here to catch me?"

"No, no. I'm here to make sure that you are happy and to help you find what makes you beautiful. That is why I am here, and I am going to keep coming here each day," I replied, and she smiled at me shyly before disappearing back under the water.

[That was surprising.]

"I wanted to give a bit more effort than just one shout, but you are right. This is going to take a while," I said and closed my eyes, opening them back up in my room.

[Not all of my advice will be right, but I can guide you in what choices have the best chance for success. You are still going to have to make all the final choices on how you act.]

I nodded, smiling as I looked out the window at the warm morning sunlight. It was going to be a good day and a great start for a Pokémon journey!

Grabbing my phone, I stripped down and got new clothes. I started texting the girls to see where they were as I headed to the bathroom and flipped on the shower. Sitting down on the toilet for my morning business, I saw that I had two missed messages from Tallia's mom sent at 5 am.

I opened the messages hesitantly and sighed when it was only text, but the picture she had sent was still there from last night. I read the text, and shook my head, but couldn't help myself from getting hard from excitement.

<Hey, Landon! Just wanted to remind you about lunch today!>

<Don't worry about condoms! I took the air cab to pick some up last night when I got groceries! Can't wait to fuck you, I mean to see you, or do I?~Your Slutty Mommy>

I scrolled up and rubbed one out into the toilet before hopping in the shower.

The day was off to an interesting start, but I had to stay focused on my real goal. I quickly got ready and then grabbed my bag before heading out the door to meet up with the girls. They said that we could all gather at Tallia's place, but I was hoping that it meant outside.

While Tallia might be oblivious to what her mother was doing, I didn't think Nemona would be the same. In the end, I would like it if all three girls would join me in Prisma, but that was going to take some careful planning.

[Good luck, and do your best!] Cryo called out in my head as I walked down to catch the Aircab I had just called to meet up with the girls.

I smiled, knowing it was true. This was just the start of something big, and I had to stay focused so that I could make sure that both humans and Pokémon would be equal one day. I also wanted to do some exploring and all the other jazz.

"Where are you headed today, Landon?" Larry asked as I got into the Aircab.

"Back to Tallia's place. I am meeting the girls to go catch some more Pokémon and to start exploring the island. Tallia's mother invited me over for lunch after that, and then I have classes in the afternoon," I said as we lifted off, and Larry nodded.

"That woman is a bit of a mystery, but I have flown her around from time to time, and she seems like a nice woman. She never really talks much, so if she is conservative with you, then that is awfully nice of you," Larry said, and I nodded, letting out a sigh.

"Yeah, she is a nice lady, and I am just trying to be friendly since we seemed to get along," I said as I stared out the window. None of these people had any clue who this woman really was behind closed doors, but that only made her that much hotter.
