I Want To Lay the Very Best!

190 – The Bird and the Bugs

Brandy had smushed the Bug, and now came the more important part. Cuddle bugging.

It wasn't the tidiest arrangement. Brandy hugged Sparky like a pillow, her face rolling over her shoulder and breast as she pretended to be asleep. The two actually asleep Noibats had them both wrapped up cosy in their surprisingly soft wings. Their ears twitched as they dreamed about something pleasant, probably Victoria. They were clearly smitten with her.

Sparky was wonderfully soft, and Brandy happily drifted in and out of sleep, snuggling against her. She wasn't going to move until someone made her.

Morgan appearing behind her and squeezing her cheeks wasn't enough to make her, no matter how much the feathers tickled.

"Wakey, wakey." Morgan cooed, her fingers ruffling through Brandy's hair. "Look, I told you she's adorable when sleepy."

"Very cute, I'm sure," Victoria laughed politely. "All my girls are tired out, so I'm not getting the full picture."

"Oh, well, it'd be a shame to miss out on sleepy Brandy," Morgan said. "If you don't have your Noi sonar, we'll just have to engage the other senses."

Brandy was too warm and comfy even to argue. They could do their worst. She was in the sweet spot of post-fucking bliss, and she was going to enjoy every second of it. Victoria's hands, guided by Morgan, were cool and gentle. They caressed her, stroking the bare skin of her back and sides as they slid down into the pile. Brandy had expected to be mildly pestered. A cool massage was a delightful surprise.

"She's really relaxed," Victoria said, her hand slipping up Brandy's stomach to squeeze one of her boobs. A little thrill to go with the soft touches got Brandy's blood flowing again. A nice firm touch at the right moment was better than a shot of espresso. "And quite a nice handful when she isn't pinning you down."

"Told you, sleepy Brandy was a delight." Morgan's hands had joined Victoria's in massaging her breasts. "Sparky's really filled her out. Pokémon should be allowed to inherit some tiddy too. This is hardly fair."

Brandy tried not to giggle at the compliment. She was enjoying this.

"Quit hogging the Brandy boob," Sparky mumbled, nudging their hands out of the way. "I'm appreciating my work."

Unlike Sparky's generous figure, Brandy still wasn't very curvy, but she wasn't blind to the changes. How could she be when all her old shirts fit as badly as they did on Calcine? It hadn't been long since Calcine, and Sparky teased her about her chest until she'd put her foot down about it. Inheriting a bigger chest wasn't character development you should brag about, but people couldn't get a nice handful of confidence!

"Did you enjoy each other's company?" Brandy said, feeling warm and gooey inside that she got to cuddle and be complimented. "Morgan can be rather theatrical. I hope she kept you entertained."

"Goodness, yes," Victoria laughed. "She wanted to prove she can eat pussy as good as I can suck dick. She failed miserably, but the attempt was very well received."

"Didn't hear much misery on my end," Morgan teased, "Just a lot of gasping and cries of my name. If we got it properly scored, I think you'd owe me a medal."

"You know," Victoria's tone was mischievous as her fingers slipped between Brandy and Sparky, "You've been such a lovely treat for my girls. I do owe you all something. The least I can do is return the favor."

"No more sex," Brandy bubbled, "Not that I don't want, but we have a Tournament to get to. Maple will do unsexy things to me if I don't even turn up for the first round."

"She's awake," Victoria said to Morgan, talking over Brandy's head. She didn't sound like she was surprised by this at all. "And doesn't want us to do terrible things to her."

"I could change her mind," Morgan whispered. She'd leaned in, her breath hot in Brandy's ear, sending shivers through her. "But let's hear Victoria out. She doesn't have sex on the brain as much as you."

"I'm listening," Brandy sighed, opening her eyes. Seeing Victoria and Morgan side by side, both completely naked (Hats excluded), certainly didn't help Brandy get sex off the brain. They were a lovely feast for the eyes.

"We should wait for everyone," Victoria said as she withdrew her hands from the pile and petted some Noibat ears instead. "As a bit of a thank you for being such good sports, we could go over some battle tactics. As someone who's had to fight you, I think I could provide a nice outside perspective."

"Can you drench Brandy in water until the Rock gang rolls up?" Sparky groaned, "I love my Trainer, but she smells of sweaty balls."

"If that's anyone's fault, it's yours," Brandy huffed, but it was hard to be mad. "Is there going to be a fight over who gets to soak me?"

"No way," Morgan spread her wings. "Sparky is going to help me drench you both. Be a team effort."

"Bring the canteens; I want to make our Trainers glisten." Sparky grinned as she wormed out of the cozy pile they'd made. Brandy made a futile grab to keep her, but she didn't try too hard. They really couldn't stay here all day, as tempting as it'd be.

The soaping and soaking was a thorough job. Morgan finding a way to enable Sparky's mischief productively was something Brandy could learn from. The Murkrow using her wind Move to dry them off was also a nice touch. She did have a lot more experience being on a Trainer team, so it made sense she'd built up a nice set of tricks to make life easier.

Calcine and Saffira turned up with Tansy and Nova in tow. It was a big group filling out the cavernous shaft with a small underground pool. It was probably some kind of material transfer station before the mine got decommissioned, and the water had come late when someone had drilled a hole for it. Calcine had pressed Tansy and Nova around Saffira before wrapping all of them up in a hug, watching Brandy worm her way into a slightly too-tight T-shirt, stretching a poor Lopunny's face out to proportions that really weren't flattering.

"We missed you, Brandy!" Tansy called, her voice a little muffled under Calcine's weight. "Calcine showed us how Fire can spice things up. Was really good."

"I barely handled them," Calcine smiled, "I was horribly outclassed. Thank you for going easy on me."

"Got to save a little something for next time." Saffira looked a lot less nervous around Calcine now. Riding her into the ground seemed one way to get over your jitters. "I'm going to Hulbury with you, Brandy. I'm short one Pokémon to join the Tournament, but at least we have a team to cheer on now."

"You'll have to meet Maple so you can cheer for her too," Brandy said as she swished her skirt to check everything was tucked in. It also worked to cast a silence across the small crowd, a wall of hungry eyes staring at Brandy. She was actually kind of used to that. When she'd been on the school volleyball team, their games hadn't been small, and the cheering had been completely chaotic for her. This felt a lot like that, which, again, really made Brandy feel she'd missed out on some very obvious signs growing up.

She'd not have met her high school sweetheart Cherry if she'd been better at noticing flirting, so she didn't regret it.

Brandy gave her skirt another spin, the swish getting a chorus of whistled approval. Such power she had with these legs, she really should use it less responsibly.

"Well!" Brandy clapped. "Since I have everyone's attention. Can I get my whole team, please?"

Calcine disentangled herself from Saffira's team with some kisses to the back of hands, while Victoria strode back to her Noi's and lay back against a pile of them like she was atop a batty throne. They showered her in affection. It was impressive how many Pokémon Victoria was handling, even if they were all the same type. They all seemed to adore her, and their minor squabbles never blew up into actual trouble. She had a gift that could have only come from focusing on being good at one thing and throwing her all into it.

Saffira's team was more rambunctious, and it was only through Saffira dedicating her attention to them in turn that they settled down. Tansy was bubbly and easily distracted, while Nova seemed always on the edge of an outburst and had to be calmed down and made to focus. Her ability to divide her attention between them even though they needed different things was also impressive, another kind of skill.

From what she'd seen of them fighting, it all translated too.

"Victoria, you seem better getting the most out of Moves. If we review some of the ones I don't use much, maybe you can give me pointers?" Brandy said earnestly. She really did want the help. "Saffira, you're really good at team composition, and the way Tansy and Nova fought was tight. Can you weave it all together if Victoria helps lay it out?"

"I've got a style that suits me," Saffira said, "Not sure it'll be entirely your thing. But I can try! At the very least, I can give you some Calcine tips."

"I know Morgan the best," Victoria said, "Shall we start with her? She's the newest member of your team. You've more to explore with her, I think."

Brandy tipped a hand for Morgan to take the center of the impromptu ring they'd formed. Morgan adjusted her hat and struck a pose, one wing behind her neck, the other stretched out along with a leg into a very foppish bow, tipping her hat to Victoria at the end of it.

"Brandy's familiar with my Gust," Morgan said, a swirl of green air floating around her wings. "It's not as devastating as most wind moves. It can't really blow people right off their feet. But I have a lot of fine control with it."

"Perfect for assisting others," Saffira said, "Guiding in Calcine's flames or Sparky's webs."

"I just don't miss," Sparky grinned. "But if you want to nudge people into them, that'd be a help."

"It works both ways," Victoria said as she gave a series of heads ear rubs. "It can frustrate anyone trying to do the same. You used it a lot when we fought to soften falls so your team could fight more recklessly. It made it too hard for me to control the fight, which is usually my specialty."

"I can use it to help people fly, but it's not elegant. I don't have the strength. It's more like a platform of thick air they can stand on, but they can push through it without too much effort." Morgan shrugged. "Until it improves, it's not much use for people actively resisting it."

"Could we use it as a platform for Sparky?" Brandy asked. "Something for her to bounce off."

"Oh, that'd be sick," Sparky grinned. "If you're quick, I could get some crazy height bouncing back and forth; it could let me get off a really high shot on someone hiding."

"I'd be willing to practice that," Morgan said, her wings flurrying to thicken the air behind Sparky so the Bug could bounce back off it. She sunk in a little. It didn't give her much height at all. More of a sticky pad for now; practice would improve that.

"Gust, I think we have well covered." Victoria said, "Astonish is your feathery teleport. Which I think is simple enough. It lets Morgan dodge attacks and be where she needs to be."

Tansy whispered hurriedly into Saffira's ear, and Saffira nodded before speaking up. "Can you get out of Sparky's webs with it? Could she web you down with an opponent, and then you could use Astonish to get out?"

"That should work." Morgan said, "I can't bring anything with me when I use Astonish. That would include things that impede me. It doesn't dry me off, so maybe it's how close the contact is?"

It was simple to test. Sparky shot a web at Morgan's arm, and then Morgan fluttered out of it by breaking apart into her swarm of black feathers. The web stayed where it was, dropping to the floor with a sad slap.

"I hate you've got a way out of my webs," Sparky huffed. "I guess I just have to electrocute you through them so you stay still first."

"Or maybe you'll get tougher to escape webs later." Victoria said, "Pokémon moves tend to be stronger the less versatile they are. My Noibat's Air Cutter can't do the tricks Morgan's Gust can, but it can shred clothes and wear down defenses a lot better."

Brandy knew that already. Calcine's newer moves were stronger but less versatile versions of her older ones. Still, it was nice of Victoria to mention it, so she just took the advice with a smile.

"It's the last two. I think we don't use enough," Brandy said. "Feint Attack, Calcine do you mind?"

"Not at all," Calcine offered her arm up to Morgan. Morgan raised her hand, black energy bleeding off her fingertips as she raked them down Calcine's arm. Calcine groaned as they raced down, her body tensing up with pleasure. It wasn't quite an orgasm, but if it got a Carkol shivering, it was still pretty fucking good.

"I'm familiar with those claws," Victoria smirked. "I've some delicious back scratches as a trophy from last night. If Morgan can get in close on someone, she can work them up really quickly."

"It's basically Bug Bite, but they don't moan as much," Sparky said, going for a chomp on Brandy's arm. A boop on the nose fended her off, her teeth snapping at Brandy's fingers.

"Use it like Bug Bite then," Victoria said," It doesn't need to all be complicated. Both Moves let Sparky or Morgan disable someone they can get at the flesh of. A great move against Trainers and pretty good against Pokémon. Both could finish a fight if you time it right."

Creating the space to do that would be the trick. Sparky was really vulnerable when Bug Biting. She was literally attached. Any Pokémon could just swat her out of the game if they weren't tied down first. Morgan's Feint Attack let her fight back a bit more but didn't have the same orgasmic punch to it. Again, another power and versatility trade-off, just this time across Types.

"Her last one's the trickiest." Brandy groaned. "Can you show Saffira Morgan? I'm sure Victoria knows by now."

"Of course," Morgan said as she stepped over to the Rock Ace and her team. She stroked Saffira's chin with the tips of her fingers and then scratched behind Tansy's ears. Tansy took it rather stoically while Saffira immediately began to squirm in place. "I can swap sensation around people I touch. Saffira feels like her ears are being scritched right now."

"I need to do this more for you," Saffira gasped, "Oh fuck, this feels good!"

"Bad bitches need scritches," Nova agreed, joining in the scratching and having Saffira almost melt against her, her leg bouncing wildly in a reflexive outlet for the feelings she was enjoying.

"Well, that's one clear use," Victoria chuckled, "If you want other clever uses. You could have Morgan do all sorts of things with it. Perhaps if she sees Brandy about to take a hit, she could pass it on to Calcine, who'd feel it less. Or have Sparky Bug Bite Brandy, only to pass it down the chain onto one of their Pokémon. It's hard to give advice. The possibilities are endless."

"It does require me to be touching them," Morgan said, "I guess Astonish helps move me around quickly. But still, in the heat of the moment, I think we'll need practice with it. Long explanations of what you want don't really work in a battle."

"True, I need to be able to call it, and you can pull it off. I'll think about this one. Come up with something for tomorrow. Still, the idea of using it for more than just fucking and foreplay is fascinating. If you got into a grapple with a Pokémon, could you have them hit themselves?"

"If I could focus in the tumble, I believe so? " Morgan bit her lip. "I only pass sensations across. I'm still taking them lumps. But it might scare off some melee types who don't realize what's happening."

"So if you fake it well enough, you can make them think you're invincible." Calcine said, "Putting on a good show is your specialty."

"Oh! Thank you, Calcine." Morgan leaned up to give the Carkol a peck on the cheek. Then, a pat on the rear to push her into the center of the circle. "Well, now we've spilled all my fighting secrets. Let's hear what we can do with our tall, dark, fiery meatshield."

"I got some ideas," Saffira licked her lips.

They probably weren't constructive, but Brandy was still curious. So they gave her a few minutes to brag about their night together before they focused on Calcine properly.

Getting her all heated up before the show probably helped, and that was excuse enough.
