Pokémon: Starting with Ash's Mom

Kazuki quickly got off the vehicle and rushed toward the bushes.

His gaze locked onto the child dressed like Tarzan—there was no mistaking it, that was Tommy! The key figure mentioned in the system mission.

Just as he was about to reach Tommy, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Kazuki halted abruptly and looked up to see a cloud of dust in the distance—a herd of Kangaskhan was charging toward them at an astonishing speed!

"Not good!" Kazuki's heart leaped as he turned back and shouted, "Move! The Kangaskhan herd is coming!"

Suzie, who had been running toward Kazuki, froze when she heard his warning. Spotting the massive stampede, her face paled, and she immediately turned to flee. But the Kangaskhan were too fast—within moments, they were almost upon them.

"Kazuki! What do we do?!" Suzie asked in panic.

Kazuki swiftly assessed their surroundings—chasing after Tommy had left their escape route blocked by the Kangaskhan herd.

On one side, a bottomless cliff. On the other, the rampaging Kangaskhan. They were in serious danger.

"Only one option—jump!" Kazuki spotted some tree branches jutting out from the cliffside and made a split-second decision. Grabbing Suzie's hand, he pulled her close into his arms.

"Jump? Off a cliff?" Suzie's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Trust me!" Kazuki's voice was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Looking into his eyes, Suzie's fear inexplicably settled. She nodded and wrapped her arms tightly around him.

Taking a deep breath, Kazuki activated his psychic abilities, held Suzie securely, and leaped off the cliff.

The wind roared in their ears as Suzie clenched her eyes shut, burying her face in Kazuki's chest. 

She could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat and the warmth radiating from his body. 

In that moment, fear dissolved into an inexplicable sense of safety.

Using his powers to slow their descent, Kazuki guided them down, grabbing onto tree branches along the way before landing safely on a grassy patch at the bottom.

"We're okay," Kazuki murmured, loosening his hold on Suzie.

Blinking open her eyes, Suzie found herself unharmed. After a dazed pause, she looked up at the cliff, then back at Kazuki, her expression filled with awe and gratitude.

"Th-This…! I've heard Misty talk about your incredible abilities, but I thought she was just exaggerating! I had no idea it was actually… um…"

Flustered, Suzie nearly blurted out something far more personal. After an awkward pause, she quickly rephrased, "Kazuki, you're amazing!"

Kazuki grinned, but before he could respond, a cold raindrop splashed onto his face.

Looking up, he saw dark clouds had gathered overhead, and fat raindrops soon began pouring down in sheets.

"Damn, it's raining!" Kazuki frowned, scanning their surroundings. "We need shelter—quick! Who knows how long this storm will last in the reserve."

Suzie nodded, and the two hurried deeper into the forest.

The rain intensified rapidly, soaking their clothes in no time.

"Up ahead—a cave!" Kazuki spotted a hidden entrance and pulled Suzie inside.

The cave was small but enough to shelter them.

Panting heavily, Suzie leaned against the cave wall. Her thin, drenched clothes clung to her body, revealing the curves beneath—including the delicate lace of her lingerie.

Kazuki's gaze lingered for a second before he cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Wh-Why are you staring…?" Suzie's voice trailed off as she glanced down at herself, noticing the translucent fabric. A blush crept up her cheeks.

Deciding to diffuse the tension, Kazuki coughed lightly. "We should rest here until the rain stops."

Still embarrassed, Suzie nodded and settled into a corner.

But soon, her body began trembling slightly—chilled from the rain.

Noticing, Kazuki hesitated before moving closer.

"Cold?" he asked softly.

Suzie nodded, shivering. "A bit..."

"We should dry our clothes, or you might catch a cold." Kazuki shrugged off his jacket and hung it near the flickering fire.

"Dry... our clothes?" Suzie shot a shy glance at his defined abs, memories of that moonlit night flooding back.

B-but… I only have my underwear left underneath... Should I say it?

She looked around the cramped cave.

Wait… this is the perfect intimate setting, isn't it? Just the two of us…

But stripping down to underwear… Agh! Forget it! Lara was bold, Officer Jenny was daring—why should I hesitate?

Summoning her courage, Suzie removed her wet outer layers, struggling slightly as the soaked fabric clung to her skin. The full, pale curves almost spilled free as she took the garments off.

Kazuki stole another glance, his pulse quickening.

Wait… She's taking off her pants too? White floral lace—adorable. I thought a mature beauty like her would go for sultrier designs.

Suzie now stood in just her underwear, her slender frame fully on display—save for a conveniently placed towel.

Though Kazuki couldn't help admiring her rosy cheeks, he joked, "Still cold? Want a hug? Body heat works wonders."

Suzie's face burned crimson. "Y-You're teasing me!"

Laughing it off, Kazuki pretended to drop the subject—only for Suzie to suddenly stand and throw herself into his arms.

"Kazuki... I really am cold..." Her voice trembled, laced with shyness.

Kazuki blinked. He'd expected their fiery Officer Jenny to make the first move, but Suzie surprised him.

With a chuckle, he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, his fingers tracing the soft, smooth skin. His breath hitched at the sensation.

"Better now?" he murmured playfully.

Suzie shook her head, her face still buried against his chest. Her heart pounded so loudly she swore he could hear it.

For a long moment, neither spoke.

But internally, Suzie was a storm of emotions: He's holding me! Only in my underwear! Kazuki's hands are so warm… Oh no, my whole body feels tingly!

Say it, say it—this is the perfect chance!

Finally gathering her courage, Suzie whispered, "Kazuki..."

"Hmm?" He tilted his head down.

Swallowing hard, she fumbled at first: "Do… do I annoy you?"

Kazuki laughed. "Never. You're the team's heart!"

Her lips twitched into a smile, but she soon lowered her gaze again. Voice barely audible, she added, "What if… my feelings for you aren't just friendship?"

Kazuki had suspected this but waited for her to confess in her own time.

After a beat, he gently lifted her chin, forcing their eyes to meet.

"And what kind of feelings would those be?"

Her chest rose and fell rapidly. Finally, the words spilled out: "Kazuki... I... I like you."

Gazing down at her, his expression softened. His previously polite hold loosened as desire took over.

"Took you long enough, my elegant beauty," he teased. "I've had my eye on you too."

Suzie's eyes sparkled. "Really? You... like me back?"

Instead of answering, Kazuki closed the distance, capturing her lips in a searing kiss. Suzie melted into it, her fantasies finally coming to life.

His fingers brushed against the lace of her underwear.

Suzie pulled back slightly, giggling. "Misty was right—you are a troublemaker!"

"Me? I'm just making sure you don't catch a cold," he shot back with a grin. "Helping you undress for your health!"

"Then... y-you're still wearing clothes too!" Inspired by Lara's boldness, Suzie reached for his waistband. "We can't have you sick either..."

Soon, both sets of underwear joined the drying pile by the fire.

Seeing Kazuki fully bare again, Suzie still flushed scarlet.

"What's wrong? Didn't get a good enough look last time?" His smirk shattered her composure.

"Y-You knew I saw you?!"

Kazuki chuckled. "You're shivering again. Let's warm you up properly."

Giggling, Suzie dove back into his embrace.

With her confession out, Kazuki held nothing back, his hands exploring freely.

"Naughty..." Suzie mock-scolded but offered no resistance, letting him touch as he pleased.

"It's the most effective warming method," he argued.

Suzie bit her lip, suppressing a laugh. "And here I thought you only fed that line to Misty!"

"If you want something, just say so." Kazuki leaned closer.

She waved her delicate fingers teasingly. "Need a hand, darling?"

"By all means, let's test those chef's skills of yours."

With a coy smile, Suzie kissed him again before lowering herself eagerly into his lap.

The firelight danced over their entwined figures, their shadows merging into one.

Outside, the rain continued—but inside the cave, only heat remained.
