Kapitel 173: The Wager

"Alright everyone, return." I said, calling all of my pokemon that were out back into their pokeballs after we finished Charizard's morning training.

"Today's the day, are you ready?" I asked his pokeball, which jerked in my hand in affirmation.

"Good."

I then turned to Joy, who had accompanied me during our training this morning, and handed my pokeballs to her.

"Think you can get them all freshened up before the tournament starts?"

"Of course!" Joy declared, accepting them before hurrying to the ship's Pokemon Center.

"Are YOU ready, partner?" Lucario asked me as she left us alone.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I answered, knowing that he knew exactly how I felt.

Truthfully, I was still completely and utterly pissed about Lance's decision to sideline me from the battle with Team Rocket. It feels like I did all the work in a group project, only to be told that my name wasn't even going on it in the end.

I couldn't even 'relax' with the girls last night from how angry I was.

""Hm?""

Lucario and I both looked up as we sensed something, before sharing a look.

"Think you need to go meditate a little before the finals start?"

"Very well." Lucario said as he turned to leave, but not before telling me, "Just don't kill them all."

I smiled dryly as Lucario departed, leaving me alone on one of the ship's arenas early in the morning.

"You can all come out now." I said to the surroundings, to which several dozen figures emerged.

All of them were dressed in punk style clothes, complete with leather jackets, spiked bands, and face paint.

"Well well well, look what we have here!" Sneered the lead figure of the group, who were obviously Team Yell.

"I thought I already told you all to give it up?" I said to him, before looking pointedly to the five who attacked me last night. They at least looked as if they wanted to be anywhere but here, while still sporting bandages and wrappings from last night.

"But we need to pay you back for what you did to our guys!" The man who appeared to be the leader snarled, before the rest of the group started shouting their agreement as they pulled out various weapons and items to beat me with.

"Besides! If we deal with you now, then there's no way you would be able to battle against our girl later!" Another sneered, apparently no longer hiding their relation to Marnie since I called the others out on it last night.

"Ok then. I need to work out some anger anyways..." I said, channeling my aura while taking a fighting stance.

"Alright then! Everyone, GET-"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL DOING?!"

Everyone froze as a new voice sounded out, revealing Marnie herself as she arrived, looking completely pissed.

"M-Marnie!" The lead guy, who had full of piss and vinegar just a second ago, immediately changed his tune as Marnie appeared.

"I thought I told you all that I don't want to win like this?!" Marnie declared angrily.

"And I thought I told you that if any of you tried anything else, I would report you ALL to the League." I stated, looking pointedly at Marnie as I did so.

The girl flinched as I said that, apparently already knowing she would be punished alongside the rest of Team Yell if I reported them.

"And that's exactly why! We need to make sure he doesn't say anything about us!" The leader of the group exclaimed while pointing at me.

"Then how about an official wager?" Marnie asked, directing her tone to me.

"What kind of wager?" I asked her.

"If I win, then you will remain silent about Team Yell. If you win though, then you can report us to the League." Marnie stated, making everyone mutter around us.

"I say we just deal with him here and now!" Snarled one of Team Yell's grunts.

"You can try." I said, before channeling the power of Zapdos and making my entire body crackle with electricity. "Or, we can agree to a wager. But, I want to change the conditions."

"???"

Marnie looked at me curiously as I said to them all, "If I lose, then I will quit being a trainer of Kanto. I will officially join as a trainer of Spikemuth Gym, AND Team Yell to support Marnie to the fullest extent of my abilities and resources."

"""!?!"""

Stunned looks were directed at me as I stated my losing condition, which was no small thing. Basically, I would be a servant of Spikemuth Gym for the rest of my life.

"BUT! If I win, then Team Yell will disband permanently. And just because I can imagine you lot pulling a stunt like this, you will also never form another group like this under a different name either."

"NOW JUST HANG ON-!"

"AND!" I declared, cutting off the protests of the leader. "Marnie will also become my sex slave for one year."

"""?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"""

"WHA-?!" Marnie sputtered with a brigt red face, while everyone else grew shocked and outraged.

"NO WAY IN HELL!"

"WE'LL NEVER LET YOU GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON MARNIE!

"LET'S BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS ASSHOLE!"

Immediately the entire group was incensed as they prepared to beat me right here and now.

"KNOCK IT OFF!"

Again, they all paused at Marnie's voice despite their bloodlust towards me only growing stronger. She meanwhile turned towards me, and asked with a bright red face, "W-why would you make THAT your condition for winning?"

"Well, MY losing condition is for me to basically to become a servant of Spikemuth for the rest of my life. Is it too much to ask you to take a similar risk, especially when it would only be for a year?"

"No one asked you to make such a choice SHITHEAD!" One of the grunts declared angrily.

"Yes. But, if I joined Spikemuth Gym then wouldn't the town itself be revived like you all want? My name is known worldwide after my battle with Cynthia, I'm a rising trainer that WILL challenge the Elite Four and Champion in the near future, I even have the queen of Rota trying to recruit me, AND I'm also pretty much rich while starting up my own company. Or do NONE of you have faith that Marnie would win?"

My words made them all shut up, as to protest further would mean they doubted what Marnie was capable of.

"Ok then." Marnie eventually said, surprising even me as she agreed to the terms of the wager. "I'll go and have the document drawn up, and it'll be ready for signing before we have our battle."

"Alright then. You can find me in my dressing room." I said, referring to the rooms we were each assigned last night to prepare for our battles in.

Marnie jerked her head in affirmation as she turned to leave, which I followed suit since I didn't trust Team Yell to not attack me once she was gone. It was actually quite sad that they were so devoted to her, yet cared so little for what she herself wanted.

The girls were leaving me alone mostly after what happened last night, plus they had their own preparations to make before the finals started. So I made my way to the dressing room alone while psyching myself up for what was coming, as there was only a little bit more than an hour until my battle with Marnie.

And surprisingly, there was someone waiting in there for me when I arrived.

"Well hello there~!" Lady Ilene greeted me as I opened the door, shrugging off the robe she was wearing to reveal her near-naked body to me, on which she was only wearing a pair of white stockings that matched the gater belt and bra she was wearing, though the bra had no cups. Instead, it just had two triangles that perfectly framed her breasts.

"Hello. What brings this?" I asked as I approached her. Though still annoyed, I was in a FAR better mood than I had been last night as I readily took in her royal appearance. After all, I hadn't been able to properly 'appreciate' our previous romp.

"Well, since you were so wound up after last night, and with you going first in the tournament today, I thought I would help you relax." Lady Ilene explained, readily approaching me before she pressed her body and lips against my own in a gentle kiss.

"Well then, I suppose we have SOME time until I need to go out there." I replied, making her giggle as I readily grabbed her butt.

It turned out that I truly DID need to unwind as I readily enjoyed Ilene's idea of 'relaxing', which started with her mounting me while she sat in my lap with her legs wrapped around my waist, and my face buried in her breasts.

I don't know if she was just that much better, or if it was because Ilene herself was a literal queen, but sex with her felt like an entirely different level while giving me a massive ego boost. Of course, it could also be her ALSO using her aura to communicate with my own as we coupled.

Normally I could use my aura to read my partner's, giving them exactly what they want without them having to say a single thing. But Ilene took it further as we communicated bonded entirely with our auras, making the only noises either of us made be grunts, moans, or cries of pleasure, like the one she gave when I filled her with cum for the first time.

I then shifted positions so that she was laying on her back on the bench, allowing me to control the pace this time as I fucked her in missionary with my hands gripping the bench on either side of her head. And this time I was able to watch the borderline hypnotic show of her royal teats bouncing in time with my every thrust.

After I filled her with the second shot of cum, we changed positions once more as I turned her around and put her on all fours, allowing me to fuck her from behind in doggystyle.

This was our roughest fuck yet, as I grabbed a handful of her golden hair with one hand, and spanked her asscheeks with the other. I even got a lovely view of her royal shitpipe winking at me every time her cheeks parted.

Apparently it was winking at me in invitation, because after the third shot in her womb Ilene leaned back so her back was against my chest as she asked bashfully, "Do you think....you can put it in my butt now?"

"Oh?" I asked while cocking a brow, and giving said ass a squeeze. "Quite the dirty queen you are~!"

"And who's fault do you think that is?" The older woman pouted as I sat back down on the bench.

She then leaned forward, allowing me to slip out of her tight little cunt, and spread her cheeks to give me a perfect view of her tightly puckered asshole. And this time I KNEW it was winking at me as she noticeably flexed her muscles.

But, before she could sit down on my cock, the door to my dressing room opened.

"I brought the contract-?!"

Marnie, with the contract that she had brought for me to sign, walked in right as the queen of Rota was about to fill her ass with my cock.

"Oh? Is it that time already?" I asked while looking at the clock, and seeing that it was already well past eight. My and Marnie's battle was due to start at nine.

"Ah....uh....." Marnie sputtered incoherently as I readily stood and approached her, despite my erect and wet cock, while Ilene quickly stood to the side.

"What's this?" She asked while glancing at the contract curiously.

"Just a bit of a wager between Marnie and I." I answered, while taking it so I could look over it closely. It wasn't that I didn't trust Marnie, but I had learned the importance of reading contracts carefully in my last life.

Finding nothing amiss, I readily accepted the pen from her as well, and signed my name on the dotted line at the bottom beside Marnie's.

"Ace, are you REALLY sure you want to sign this?" Ilene asked as she looked over my shoulder, and read the terms listed in the contract.

"Why not? Its not like I plan to lose." I replied, handing it back to Marnie. Now, our agreement would be League certified. Both of us HAD to fulfill our end of the agreement based on the outcome of the match.

Which I found funny considering that it would also mean that the League would learn Marnie was affiliated with Team Yell, which was a major reason why we decided to bet things on a wager to begin with.

After I handed the contract back to her though, Marnie had yet to move. Apparently, she was too stunned by seeing me naked to do more than just stand there and stare.

"Like what you see?" I asked her teasingly.

"Eh?! What?!" Marnie asked, coming out of her daze with a bright red face.

"I asked if you liked what you see." I repeated, making her taciturn face turn even redder before I added, "Don't worry, you'll be seeing me like this a LOT after our battle."

I swear I saw literal steam rising from Marnie's head as she was filled with realization of just WHAT it was she had agreed to. And while the League obviously limited such 'extreme' and one-sided conditions in wagers, the fact that I was basically betting a lifetime of servitude to her brother's Gym balanced it out.

"Now if you'll excuse us, I need to get ready for our battle." I told her, ushering Marnie out of my dressing room.

Thankfully these things came complete with showers and such, allowing Ilene and I to clean ourselves up before hurrying to the arena. Of course, I promised to plow her ass once I got the chance.

Now feeling quite refreshed thanks to Ilene, I felt a different type of tension mounting as I passed the other dressing rooms before arriving to the main arena to find the entirety of the ship gathered to watch the finals.

It was the same arena where I battled Cynthia a few days ago, and Lucario was already waiting for me along with Pidgeot on my side of the arena. Meanwhile Joy was standing right outside the tunnel with my pokeballs.

"Here you go Ace. Everyone should be rested and ready."

"Thank you Joy." I said while accepting them from her, before planting a loving kiss on her cheek.

My little nurse blushed from the gesture, especially with how much attention there was on us right now, though I DID feel a slight second of bloodlust being directed towards us.

Looking around in alarm, I saw nothing and no one that appeared to be the source of it. Instead I only saw the rest of the Nurses Joy gathered on the sidelines for any possible emergencies, and the rest of the girls as they approached us in their cheerleading uniforms.

"Good luck Ace~!" Dawn declared excitedly.

"Yeah! We'll all be cheering for you!" May stated as she leapt up and hugged me, so that her breasts were smothering my face.

"Let him breathe May!" Misty chastized her with exasperation, before turning her attention to me. "You better win!"

"Don't worry, I will." I stated firmly to them all, Misty, May, Dawn, Daisy, Chloe and Joy, while apparently they even got Lillie, Leaf, Lyra, Serena, Selene, Hilda, Rosa and Gloria to all wear uniforms to cheer for me as well.

A quick glance showed me Sonia, Ivy, Juniper and Giana all in the VIP box with the Champions, Elite Four, Gym Leaders, and professors, as well as Ilene as she joined them after our tryst. The former three because they ARE professors, while Giana was probably because Lance wanted to keep an eye on her somewhat.

The girls that were down here though each gave me a kiss, either on the cheek or lips, before they returned to where they were to cheer for me while Joy readied herself in case any of my pokemon would need treatment.

As soon as I stepped up to my side of the arena with Lucario and Pidgeot, and Marnie did the same on her side, backed by an entire section of the stands filled with Team Yell, a voice cried out as two men descended from above.

One was standing on a platform rigged from a Magnezone, while the other was on a similar platform rigged from an Aegislash.

"HELLO AND GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER FINALS OF THE INTER-LEAGUE TOURNAMENT!"

Deafening cheers answered the one who spoke, before the other continued.

"WE HAVE SEVERAL EXCITING BATTLES LINED UP FOR YOU ALL TODAY, STARTING WITH ACE OF PALLET TOWN, VERSUS MARNIE OF SPIKEMUUUUUUTH!"

Even more noise answered his declaration, as fans of either Marnie or I fought to let themselves be known. Though the ones I noticed the most were Team Yell behind Marnie, Bruce and Jackie in the stands behind me, and most of all the girls as they all cheered for my victory.

"YES! AND AFTER THESE TWO, WE'LL HAVE GARY VERSUS CALEM, BRENDAN VERSUS HILBERT, AND FINALLY LUCAS VERSUS VICTOR! THEN, AN HOUR AFTER THE FOURTH BATTLE, WE WILL BEGIN THE SEMIFINALS BETWEEN OUR FOUR VICTORS TO DETERMINE WHO WILL MOVE ON TO THE FINALS, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE TONIGHT!"

"THAT'S RIGHT! ITS A FULL DAY OF BATTLING AHEAD OF US ALL! SO SIT BACK, AND ENJOY THE SHOW THAT EACH OF THESE EIGHT TRAINERS WILL PUT ON FOR US!"

"AND JOINING US AS COMMENTATORS TODAY ARE THE ESTEEMED PROFESSOR OAK, AND THE CHAMPION STEVEN STOOOOOOONE!"

"Hello everybody! It is a pleasure, and honor, to be here today." Professor Oak stated as we all looked up towards the commentator's box.

"Indeed. I look forward to seeing all of the amazing pokemon and battles that the eight of you will show us." Steven added while also waving to the crowds.

"AND NOW, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET THE FIRST MATCH OF THE INT-LEAGUE TOURNAMENT BEGIIIIIIIIIN!"

With the go ahead from the referees, both Marnie and I grabbed our first pokeballs and threw them out.

"Go, Liepard!" Marnie cried out, before a sleek purple leapard-looking pokemon appeared.

"I choose you, Vespiquen!"
