Splash... the sound of water in the bathroom continued.
Delia washed her hands in front of the mirror with a blank expression.
She hadn't been able to snap out of it for a long time.
Actually, Delia couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, given the difference in what she had learned and seen, comparing a Caterpie to a Rayquaza—anyone would find it unbearable.
Delia's breathing was rapid, and she unconsciously swallowed hard.
Then she glanced at Roy, who was heading toward the living room.
She gently closed the bathroom door.
She locked it and leaned her back against the door.
Her chest was heaving violently.
Several seconds passed.
Only then did she cautiously lift her pencil skirt and look down.
"Oh my~ this is so embarrassing~"
A shy exclamation and the sound of slight foot-stomping came from the bathroom.
Although the commotion was small.
Roy still heard it.
He sat on the living room sofa.
A mischievous smirk played on the corners of his mouth.
Quite a big shock.
It seemed the effect was good.
This Delia is even more innocent than I imagined.
Roy was just thinking that.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from under the sofa.
A furry little fellow crawled out.
Brown fur.
A large, fluffy tail.
Large black eyes stared curiously at Roy.
Hmm?
Eevee?
Why would there be an Eevee in Delia's house?
"Sister Delia..."
As Roy called out to Delia.
The splashing sound of a shower already came from the bathroom.
"Ah~" Delia's flustered voice came from the bathroom: "Uh, that... it rained heavily last night and I got wet, I... I'm taking a shower, I'll come and make you something to eat in a bit."
"Okay, sure," Roy responded. "I was saying there's an Eevee here."
He looked at the Eevee on the floor.
The little fellow tilted its head.
"Eevee~"
"Oh, that was a birthday gift from a friend," Delia's voice came from the bathroom, mixed with the sound of water. "I haven't systematically learned how to train Pokemon, so I just let it play around the house."
She explained Eevee's origin.
"Aren't you planning to become a Pokemon Trainer? You can try playing with it first."
Hearing this, Roy.
Tentatively reached out his hand.
Eevee shrank its neck in fear.
But it didn't back away.
Instead, it curiously leaned in and sniffed.
Roy's hand gently landed on its head.
Stroking.
Smoothing its fur.
Eevee adapted instantly.
It affectionately rubbed against his palm.
"Eevee~"
A comfortable purring sound came from its throat.
[Ding!]
The moment Roy touched Eevee.
The system notification sounded in his mind.
[Triggered Mission: Obtain your first Pokemon.]
[Mission Reward: Light Ball—Doubles Attack and Special Attack when held by Pikachu.]
A new system mission was triggered.
Roy browsed the system interface.
Obtaining the first Pokemon.
It didn't seem like a very difficult task.
But it wasn't that simple either.
In the Pokemon world.
The first Pokemon.
Is either picked up at a rookie point by families who have paid League fees for enough years.
Or it's a family heirloom gift.
Or captured with the family's guidance.
For the first kind, Roy hadn't paid any fees, so he couldn't collect one in the short term.
For the second kind, there was no one to lead him.
Roy thought for a moment.
He decided to try his luck at Professor Oak's place when the time came.
Maybe it would trigger some mission.
Or, he could just set out with Delia when the time came.
He could claim the mission reward for physical technique enhancement.
A 100% physical technique boost.
Directly subduing one through hand-to-hand combat would also work.
Yeah, let's go with that!
Roy finalized the plan.
At the same time, the shower water stopped.
After a few minutes.
Delia came out after bathing.
Because it was a sudden decision.
Delia hadn't taken a change of clothes.
She could only walk out wrapped in a limited bath towel.
It really was "limited."
The towel could barely cover the critical parts.
Her upper body was tightly wrapped.
The hem of the towel only reached the base of her thighs.
Two long, fair legs were completely exposed to the air.
There was a faint pink tint at her knees.
Delia after bathing.
The mature woman scent was even richer.
Temptation was at its peak.
Damp brown long hair was draped over her shoulders.
The ends of her hair were still dripping.
Water droplets slid down her neck.
Flowed over her collarbone.
And vanished into the deep cleavage wrapped by the towel.
Her skin had a rosy glow after the bath.
Like a ripe honey peach.
Exuding the fresh scent of shower gel.
Mixed with a woman's unique body fragrance.
Delia glanced shyly at Roy.
Her face instantly turned red.
"I... I'm going to change clothes."
She said softly.
Then she quickly ran toward her bedroom.
As she ran, the hem of the towel fluttered, and half of her beautiful buttocks were exposed.
Round and fair, it was dizzying to look at.
This was another feast for Roy's eyes.
Roy watched her run upstairs before withdrawing his gaze.
He sighed inwardly.
Who could stand this?
Eevee bit Roy's pant leg, seemingly trying to stop Roy from watching.
"I'm just concerned about your owner, I'm afraid she'll run too fast and fall."
Eevee tilted its head, stopped biting the pant leg, but there was still doubt in its eyes... In the following days.
Delia really fulfilled her promise.
She took meticulous care of Roy.
Every morning she helped him wash up, helped him change his bandages, cooked, and did laundry—she was thorough in every way.
The relationship between the two also grew better and better.
They often chatted and watched TV together.
Sometimes Delia would even push Roy for a walk around Pallet Town.
During Roy's deep communication and pursuit, he learned an important piece of news.
That afternoon.
The two were sitting on the living room sofa.
Eevee was napping on Delia's lap.
"Actually..." Delia hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, my family paid enough League fees that I had the qualification to collect a starter Pokemon."
"Hmm?" Roy looked at her.
"It's just that I was busy with work back then and never used it." Delia smiled. "Now that we're going to set out on a journey together, and I have Eevee, it would be a waste to let this qualification sit there."
She looked at Roy with a gentle gaze:
"I'll transfer this qualification to you."
"That way, you can go to Professor Oak's place to collect your first Pokemon."
Hearing this, Roy.
Felt a surge of joy in his heart.
It was truly a pillow being delivered just as he was getting sleepy.
"Is that okay?" he asked.
"Of course it is." Delia nodded. "The procedure is very simple. I'll go to the League office tomorrow to handle the transfer."
Just like that, the mission for the first Pokemon was settled.
The mission for physical technique enhancement.
Also, while Roy and Delia were wandering around Pallet Town observing Pokemon and making records.
It was judged by the system as having started the journey and was completed.
That day they went to the mountain behind Pallet Town.
The two walked while recording the wild Pokemon they saw.
Pidgey.
Rattata.
Caterpie.
They were all very common.
But Delia was very serious.
Holding a notebook to record their habits.
Roy also cooperated with the observations.
As the sun set.
When the two were preparing to return.
[Ding!]
The system notification sounded.
[Become travel companions with Delia and set out on a Pokemon training journey together. Completed.]
[Mission Reward: Basic physical attributes increased by 100%.]
A warm current instantly swept through Roy's entire body.
He could clearly feel it.
His body was undergoing changes.
His muscles became firmer.
Power was surging.
Endurance was improving.
His sense of speed was enhanced.
Even his five senses became much sharper.
The pain at the fracture in his right hand lessened significantly.
The recovery speed was clearly accelerating.
"What's wrong?" Delia noticed Roy suddenly stop.
"Nothing." Roy smiled. "I just feel... my body is much better."
"Is that so? That's good then." Delia said happily.
With the powerful physical technique enhancement, Roy's injuries recovered faster.
He also began a more intense pursuit of Delia.
Verbal teasing.
Physical "unintentional" contact.
Provocative glances.
An all-out offensive.
Delia seemed to be half-yielding here.
Accepting it with surface-level calmness.
But in reality, Delia's heart was already in a state of turmoil.
After all, staying with a man with a powerful physique every day.
Without any special feelings.
That would be a pure lie.
What's more, basically every day Delia had to help Roy with the bathroom, washing up, and wiping his body.
Seeing it every day, touching it every day, how could twenty-eight-year-old Delia stand it?
She had already had a reaction, she was just enduring it, pretending to be calm on the surface.
But returning to her own room at night.
All that tossing and turning.
All that difficulty falling asleep.
Only she herself knew.
All of this.
Reached an explosion during Delia's peak monthly desire period.
This day.
Delia, as usual, helped Roy with the bathroom and then served him during his wash-up.
After finishing.
She hurriedly ran away with a red face.
"I... I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'm going back to my room first."
Her voice was a bit shaky, and her eyes were evasive.
"Unwell?" Roy didn't pay much attention.
After all, every time Delia helped him, she had this shy appearance.
He thought she was just being shy.
At night, Roy had a hard time falling asleep for a long time.
Because Delia was absent-minded today, she made the food very salty.
Right now, Roy's mouth was parched.
Unable to stand it, Roy.
Had to get out of bed to find water to drink.
He walked out of the room quietly.
The hallway was very dark, with only moonlight coming through the window.
Roy was about to go downstairs, but as he was about to get close to Delia's room.
He faintly heard his own name.
"Roy~..."
The voice was very light.
Roy stopped in his tracks, hearing some sounds that were a bit like... Roy took another careful look and saw that Delia's door wasn't actually closed tight.
Leaving a crack.
A warm yellow light shone through the crack in the door.
Roy held his breath and leaned closer to the crack to look.
Inside the room.
Delia was sitting on the chair in front of the dressing table, her back to the door.
Her long brown hair was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall.
She was only wearing a thin slip nightdress.
Silk, almost transparent.
Delia probably wanted to change her posture, and the chair happened to turn toward the direction of the door crack.
This time Roy was face-to-face with it and finally confirmed what Delia was doing.
He knew, the opportunity to obtain Aura Power had arrived!
