A young man in a lab coat welcomed the duo into his laboratory.

“Please, do come in" he said with a pleasing voice.

Tobin and Rina stepped forward, examining the lab, both a tad disappointed that it looked like an ordinary laboratory, much like the ones they both began their Pokemon journey.

“You were expecting something different, weren't you?" the professor asked, adjusting his glasses. “They always do…"

“Well, you see, professor…" Tobin began, while ruffling his hair.

“Richards." The professor added. “Samuel Richards. But you can call me Sam."

“Sam. Right. You see, Sam, we weren't exactly sure what to expect. Coming here and all that."

The young dark-skinned boy looked a bit flustered, trying to explain himself to the professor. It was, after all, quite the extraordinary set of circumstances that lead them there. A bit of unease was only natural.

“Tobin, my dear boy, there's no need to be ashamed. It's only natural that you might feel uneasy. After all, weren't we all raised to believe that such things were…unnatural?"

Tobin nodded his head slowly.

“I'm sure you have many questions. You may feel free to ask away."

Tobin remained silent, unsure of how exactly to proceed.

“How did this thing begin?" Rina spoke up, trying to sound adamant, but there was still a slight tinge of unease.

“Ah, an excellent question, young girl." Sam turned around, his coat waving dramatically. “Are you familiar with professor Harkness? No? Understandable. His theories and practices are mostly shunned by society and he is considered a black sheep in the academic community. Although some have recognized his genius. You see, professor Harkness isn't merely a biologist. He also had prolific knowledge in the fields of anthropology, psychology of both human and Pokemon and sexology among many others. He had theories, based on previous works by, naturally, discredited scientists, which he found their basis in historical documents. A well-known theory in the social sciences is that Pokemon and humans share a deep social symbiosis, which has been utilized throughout thousands of years and has led to the formation of our, as well as many other, civilization. Professor Harkness expanded on that idea, believing there to be a sexual aspect to that symbiosis."

Both Tobin and Rina seemed uncomfortable at the utterance of those last words, but were indeed very curious.

“The practice of Pokemon and human mating has been well documented in ancient cultures and, in our puritan society, is considered a harsh taboo. Although we allow Pokemon from different species to breed with one another, why is it that the presence of humans is so frowned upon? It's a well know fact that trainers form deep and lasting bonds with their Pokemon. And it's a well-known fact that Pokemon are both sapient and sentient, able to make decisions based on both logic and emotions."

The pair continued listening on, their interest in the topic growing slowly.

“The modern Pokemon battles are based on the tradition of duels, which had a bit of a different rule set than our current system. But the main difference between them is that the duels ended with some sort of sexual activity in the end. We have taken the ancient tradition, between fully consenting participants on all sides and we have elliminated a very important element of them. Professor Harkness believed that if we reintroduced the sexual aspect in Pokemon battles, there would be a steady decline in both violent and non-violent crimes. He believed in the theory of Thanatos and Eros, the death and sex drive in all things. While battling, there is a spike in the death drive, the drive to destroy, hurt and so forth, and during the sexual part of the ritual, there is a spike in the sex drive, the drive to create, to love. The Pokemon duels of yesteryear were a kind of expulsion of excess psychic and physical energy, after which all participants would be more productive members of society. Some aspects of his theory were a bit incorrect, but the over all idea is sound. And in our underground leagues, these theories have been tested and proven true."

“There are other leagues?" Tobin spoke up.

“Oh, yes. It all started with one league, but others were formed to tests different sexual…kinks let's call them. We each share data on the progress of all our members – both human and Pokemon."

The professor motioned for the pair to follow him.

“Since you are both here, I'm sure you've had some experience on the subject matter to some extent. No need to worry if you are still squeamish, it's only natural. And since you've both been recommended, you can fully be trusted in keeping everything a secret. Now, here are your starters."

The professor opened a safe and took out two Pokeballs, handing them both to Tobin and Rina.

“Don't we get to choose?" Tobin asked upon receiving the ball.

“Picky, aren't we?" the professor let out a small chuckle. “Considering the limited resources of our operation, you're lucky we had two to begin with. In your hand you have a Monferno, young man. And you, Rina, you are holding a Servine. Both Pokemon are female. I hope there won't be any issues."

The young trainers shook their heads.

“Excellent." Samuel smiled. “Then, I welcome you both to the Foot League."

#

Tobin and Rina walked through the woods. The Orre Region gave them the creeps, even with the sexual leagues lurking in its' underbelly. However, both of them truly had an interest in the matter, both of them fully aware that their personal desires weren't looked upon with favor in mainstream society. By pure chance, during a battle they had when they met for the first time, they discovered in each other their more devious side, when Tobin had noticed her staring at his Buneary's feet during the fight. When questioned, she denied it at first, but her body language was more than evident. And when pressed further, she had finally confessed.  Tobin also admitted his own inner lusts and they had formed a strong bond over the subject, promising each other to forever keep their secret. They had spent that night both worshipping Buneary's feet – licking, massaging and gently kissing them. The Buneary didn't mind, not one bit, in fact she seemed much more excited than either of them would have guessed. That lead them to the Orre Region, following rumors of a secretive League, dedicated to the glorification of Pokemon feet. Through many battles, promises and bribes they finally managed to obtain entry into the league as well as their first Pokemon in it, specifically raised and trained to take part in all manner of foot related activity.

“So, did you decide a name for yours?" Tobin asked, still a bit uneasy.

“Lotus. Lotus seems appropriate. And you?"

“Homura." He looked at his Pokeball. “I like Homura."

“Do you think we are far enough?" Rina asked abruptly.

Tobin looked behind. The city was far gone by now, only trees and foliage stood between them and the laboratory.

“I think we're safe. So. What now?"

Rina took out her Pokeball.

“Let's take them for a spin. I'm sure they've been cramped up in there for long enough" she said with a smile.

Tobin was first surprised at her sudden cheeriness, but it quickly ignited his enthusiasm. He gripped his Pokeball and with a determined look on his face he pointed at the bushes.

“There should be something in there."

Rina nodded and they both entered the bushes, off the beaten path. It took them some time amidst the tall grass until they finally spotted something,

“There!" Tobin said, pointing.

“A Grovyle?"

The Grovyle didn't seem to notice them. She was laying on her back, enjoying the afternoon sun, eyes half closed, on leg on top of the other, rhythmically nodding.

“Yeah. That's the one." Measuring the distance, he threw his Pokeball. “Homura! Go!"

The Monferno appeared, excitedly jumping. The Grovyle turned her head and with a cheeky smile got up on both her feet. She seemed more than ready for a battle.

“Go! Homura! Use Ember!"

Homura spat out a small fireball, hitting the Grovyle straight in the chest. She seemed shook up, but quickly regained her composure. She spun around throwing a multitude of leaves at the Monferno, which she managed to dodge with ease.

“Good work, Homura! Now use Flamethrower!"

Homura inhaled deeply and exhaled a stream of fire, engulfing Grovyle. When the fire subsided, Grovyle dropped backwards on her back, unconscious. Tobin threw an empty Pokeball, easily capturing the Grovyle.

“Good job. You can come back." Tobin said and threw his Pokeball.

Homura disappeared in a stream of energy into the Pokeball. Rina looked over at Tobin, unimpressed.

“That was easier than expected." She spoke. “Maybe these Pokemon are much stronger than what's around here."

“Maybe. But we have to try again. Look over there! There's a stream. Maybe you can try Lotus out."

The duo rushed to the stream, where they found a Wartortle, standing on a rock, gazing into the water.

“Well?" Tobin asked.

“I don't know. He doesn't seem in the fighting mood, does he?"

Upon hearing the two speak, Wartortle turned around and jumped onto the solid ground, battle stance at the ready.

“He looks in the mood to me." Tobin said cackling.

Wartortle furrowed his brow, smiling, ready for a fight.

“Well…here it goes. Lotus! I choose you!"

Rina threw her Pokeball and out came her Servine.

The Wartortle didn't waste any time and lunged himself forward, tackling into Lotus, but without a command, she quickly grabbed him by the sides and threw him.

“Wow. She's pretty good. Lotus, quick! Use Leaf Blade!"

Lotus spun around, throwing a barrage of leaves at the Wartortle, each one of them managing to hit, knocking him over.

“Great work! Now use Vine Whip and finish him off!"

A pair of vines extended from Lotus's back which slammed Wartortle in quick succession. After the barrage was over, he seemed to have fainted. Rina threw a Pokeball, capturing the Wartortle without any difficulty.

“They really are strong!" Rina exclaimed and returned Lotus to her Pokeball.

“You know, I'm getting pretty excited! We should search for more Pokemon!" Tobin said, barely controlling himself.

“Oh, definitely! If everything professor Sam said was true, they'll probably need a strong fight and then…"

“And then we can all have some fun." Tobin finished her sentence with self-assured smile.

“Yeah…to tell you the truth, I can't wait…"

Tobin nodded in agreement.

They continued up the stream, looking for a proper battle for their newly acquired Pokemon. Their excitement was immeasurable, both feeling as if they've started their Pokemon journey for the first time again. The anticipation of the battle. The thrill of the fight. The fire in their hearts as they yelled out attack after attack. And the hidden lust they both felt seeing their Pokemon fight, struggling to overpower their opponents. The lust that they now knew their trusted companions felt as well.

However, it took quite a bit of time before they found other Pokemon to fight. The was already setting and Rina and Tobin were exhausted, both from the long trek from the city and through the wildlands and the excitement of what was to come.

Finally, at the source of the stream, amidst the rocks, they found two Pokemon – a Drizzile and a Torracat. They seemed to be locked in some sort of conflict of their own, staring each other down, no one moving or uttering a single sound.

“Should we…should we interrupt them?" Tobin asked cautiously.

“They are either preparing to fight or they are in the middle of seducing each other. In either case, a battle would do them good, don't you think?" Rina answered with confidence.

“You do make a good point." Tobin said. “Should we tag team them?"

“Oh, yes! I think that's the way to go here."

Tobin smiled. He took out his Pokeball, tossed it a few times in his hand and finally threw it.

“Homura! I choose you!" he yelled out.

“Lotus! Go!" Rina followed suit, throwing her Pokeball as well.

Homura and Lotus appeared, side by side, as when the Drizzile and Torracat noticed them, they turned to each other and silently nodded. They jumped form the rocks onto the grass, ready to fight their new opponents, the fire of battle and lust burning in their eyes.

“Homura! Use ember!" Tobin cried out.

Homura inhaled and exhaled a fireball towards Drizzile, which the lizard expertly dodged while charging at Homura.

“Homura! Dodge!" Tobin yelled out, but he was too late and Drizzile managed to pound Homura.

Meanwhile, Rina and Lotus were having their own troubles as Lotus tried to hit Torracat with Leaf Blade, which only slightly scratched the cat and she retaliated with a Flamethrower, roughing up Lotus pretty badly.

“Lotus! Get up! Quick!" Rina cried out.

Lotus stood on her legs when Torracat struck with another attack, this time Lotus managing to drop and roll, dodging the attack.

“Great job! Now use Vine Whip!"

It didn't take Lotus long to respond, sending vines at Torracat. The cat managed to duck under the first one, but the second slammed her over the head, sending her flying to one side.

“Homura! Jump away!" Tobin yelled, as Drizzile prepared for another attack.

A stream of pressurized water blew out of his mouth, as per instructed, she jumped out of the way.

“Once more, Homura! Use Ember!"

While in the air, the monkey inhaled and spat out a fireball. Drizzile, still spewing water, didn't notice the attack and hit him in the face, causing him to tumble down.

“Now use Flamethrower, Homura!"

As Homura landed, she inhaled and blew out a torrent of flame, which barely missed Drizzile, who quickly rolled around.

“Lotus! Vine Whip! Once more!"

Lotus's vines flew straight for Torracat, flailing twisting, trying to hit their target, but each one was unable.

Torracat quickly rebuked, going straight for Lotus, mouth agape, biting her on the neck. Lotus recoiled in pain.

“Lotus! Vine Whip! Quick!"

The vines rapidly managed to wrap around Torracat, pulling her away and throwing with full force into the ground. Torracat tried getting up, but her feet could barely hold her.

“Now! Leaf Blade!"

Hundreds upon hundreds of leaves flew towards Torracat, this time each one hitting their target. Slashed and bruised, Torracat fell to the ground, fainting.

Homura was having difficulties with Drizzile, who managed to dodge most of her attacks. Drizzile, unphased and undeterred, expertly maneuvered between the balls of fire and clapped his hands together, sending small waves towards Homura.

“Homura! Quickly! Dodge and get in closer!"

Homura jumped from side to side, slipping in between the waves, until she was at an arm's length of his target.

“Now! Use Rock Smash!"

With full force, Homura slammed his fist against Drizzile, smashing him to the ground.

The battle was over. Homura and Lotus were the winners. And both of them stood still, expectantly, awaiting further instructions from their trainers. Tobin and Rina could see it in their eyes. The battle had them fired up. They were ready to unwind. And the trainers felt it as well. Without sharing a word, the both released their newly caught Pokemon. A bit bruised and exhausted, Grovyle and Wartortle collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

Homura and Drizzile took that as a sign to continue. They carried the former opponents to the newly defeated Pokemon and gently place them side by side.

Homura kneeled down in front of Grovyle and Drizzile and gently began stroking their feet, paying special attention not to be too rough. Lotus laid down by Torracat and Wartortle, inhaling deeply the scent of their feet. She started licking Torracat's feet, while caressing Wortorle's with her tail. Homura followed suit, licking and gently biting Drizzile's foot, while making sure to still pay attention to Grovyle, but massaging her foot with one hand. He then switched them up, licking Grovyle and massaging Drizzile.

The sight was transcendental for the trainers. They were fully aware that it was going to happen, but they didn't expect it to be this peaceful. And so erogenous. The defeated Pokemon began slowly coming to and didn't seem to mind the attention at all. In fact, they very much looked like they were enjoying it. On more than one occasion Wartortle even pushed his foot a bit further into Lotus's mouth, to her surprise, but she continued wrapping her tongue around the Pokemon's toest, sliding it up and down the sole.

Watching from afar, both trainers got excited. And when the display was over and all seemed satisfied, their Pokemon came back to them, while the defeated ones laid on the grass, blissfully gazing at the purple sky, eyes half-closed.

Tobin took a glance at Rina, which she returned. They were both on the same page.

“Homura! Use Flamethrower!"

Homura didn't hesitate. She was more than willing to continue the fight.

“Lotus! Dodge and use Leaf Blade!"

Lotus dodged the stream of fire, sending a whirlwind of leaves at her opponent, slashing. There was a look of pleasure in her eyes, watching her attack land on the Monferno, who in turn seemed to enjoyed being hit like that.

“Homura! Use Ember!"

Homura spat an Ember at Lotus, who dodged it with ease, but she wasn't expecting a second Ember, which hit her just as she turned away from the first.

“Homura! Go! Use Rock Smash!"

Homura charged, fist raised.

“Lotus! Vine Whip!"

Lotus managed to grab Homura and threw her up in the air.

“Follow up with Leaf Blade!"

She did as she was told, throwing a barrage of leaves, each one hitting her target. Homura seemed like she was going to faint.

“Great job! Now use-“

Rina was cut off as Homura fell on Lotus, fulfilling her attack. Lotus fell to one side, defeated. Homura stood victorious, before her legs gave in and she fell, fainting as well.

Both Pokemon were overworked, exhausted, laying on the ground. Rina licked her lips. She slowly approached Lotus and gently picked up her foot, dragging her tongue across it. There was a bittery taste to it. She continued licking it and inhaling the scent. The scent of grass. She continued to lick, while gently rubbing her foot, her tongue going across and in between the toes of her Pokemon.

Tobin gulped. Not wanting to be left behind, he went to his Pokemon and kneeled down and he too began worshiping. The fur felt good against his tongue as he slid it in circles on Homura's foot. Gently nibling, he found out his Pokemon had a bit of a tickle, which he didn't abuse, but still playfully acted on. He sucked on her toes, sliding his hand to Homura's other foot, rubbing it against it and placing his fingers between the toes.

Both Pokemon started gently moaning as their trainers continued their post-battle pampering. Lotus breathed heavily with each little kiss and lick, while Homura squirmed sheepishly underneath her trainer's more frisky and playful technique.

Finally, when they finished, both trainers collapsed by their Pokemon's side, all of them blissfully smiling, happy to be accepted and excited for whatever journey awaits them.
