Ash and his friends had just arrived in Eterna City exhausted from their journey. The trio of travelers had trekked through Eterna forest looking for honey and had worn themselves out in the process. "We need to get to the pokemon center and have a good night's sleep." groaned Ash carrying Pikachu on his shoulder.
"I can't wait for a nice long bath after being in the forest." Dawn affirmed.
"We all could use a bath, whoa." laughed Brock, his nose cringing from the stench. As they were nearing the pokemon center they saw the Eterna City gym but connected to it was a giant greenhouse on one end. The other side looked like it used to have one as well but didn't anymore as there appeared to be large scorch marks on the gym's side.
"Well I guess I need to prepare for a grass type trainer." chuckled Ash.
"Why do you think the leader has grass pokemon?" Dawn asked, petting Piplup as they passed the gym.
"Many gym leaders usually integrate their gym with their chosen type. Since there is a greenhouse here it can be safely assumed that the leader is a grass type specialist." Brock explained to the Bluenette.
"Hm, I've never thought of it that way" Dawn replied with a thoughtful look. The three companions were able to arrive at the pokemon center and grab a quick dinner before retiring to their own rooms. After a quick shower Ash and Pikachu headed off to bed to have a good nights sleep for their battle tomorrow.
The Next Day
The trio of travelers had a full breakfast and headed over to the gym. Inside they saw an Orange and black haired girl training with a Turtwig. She was wearing a long sleeved black undershirt and a green vest (Basically her official artwork but her belly is not exposed) "Excuse me, are you the gym leader?" Ash called out.
"Why yes I am. Are you a challenger?" she responded.
"Yes, my name is Ash Ketchum." he held his hand out to shake the leader's hand.
"Gardenia, unfortunately I am teaching a class today so we won't be able to have a battle until tomorrow." she revealed.
Although he was disappointed Ash tried to cheer up "what is this class about and can I help at all?" he asked the girl.
"Well I'm sure you noticed the giant greenhouse connected to the gym and can assume that I have a green thumb. I teach gardening lessons every week so unless you have experience in taking care of plants Ash, you may want to go sight seeing instead." came her reply. Brock immediately understood what Ash's response would be, knowing his home life.
"Actually my mom is a very good gardener in her own right and taught me everything I know. I hope it is enough for you." revealed Ash, shocking Dawn and Gardenia.
"I will have to give you a quiz to decide on that." she responded taking the three trainers into the greenhouse. The gym leader quizzed Ash on ten different potted flowers and plants that were housed inside the building. With no hesitation the Pallet Town native identified them all correctly with no trouble. "Well it seems that you were right about your knowledge. Your most must be a very good gardener." Gardenia complimented.
"She runs the only restaurant in my town so she has to be able to grow the food necessary for all of her different recipes" explained Ash.
"Ah that makes a lot of sense." Gardenia answered putting her hand to her chin in thought.
"Ash is it ok if I go and practice for my next contest while you're here. I'm not any good at taking care of plants so I would just be a burden to you two." said Dawn.
"Of course Dawn." Ash responded, putting a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder.
"I'll go with her to help." added Brock as he followed the coordinator out the door.
"So Ash what was your favorite thing to grow?" she asked the trainer.
"Well my mom loved using Yache Berries in her ice cream, so I would say them." he answered.
The two of them were going over what Gardenia was going to teach when they were interrupted by a group of people coming in to the greenhouse. There were around 20 people ranging from children to elders all looking to learn how to garden. After introducing themselves, the duo began their lessons to the populace. They taught their students how to soil a pot, how to know when enough water is required for different types of plants, and how to use certain plants for medicinal and cooking purposes. Gardenia and Ash taught this course for three hours. It would be 15 minutes before another group came in for another two hours. It was at this moment where Ash took time to examine Gardenia's outfit again.
"How can you wear that in here? It's so hot." he asked the gym leader.
"The heat doesn't bother me" came her quick response. Ash was a bit suspicious but decided to let it slide. When all was said and done the two trainers took a moment to relax. "Gardenia do you know any good places to grab a late lunch" he asked the gym leader.
"Yeah it's about a 15 minute walk from here. Why don't you grab your friends and we can all head there together." the gym leader suggested.
Ash nodded and the two of them left the gym and went towards the Pokemon center where Brock and Dawn were training. Ash called his friends over and the three of them followed Gardenia as she led them to the restaurant. It was a nice quite place that served elaborate berry dishes. As they ate, Ash remembered the burn side of the gym and asked her if there was another greenhouse connected to the gym prior to them arriving.
"Yes Ash there was and it contained several crossbreeds of plants. However, several years ago it caught fire and burned down." Gardenia revealed.
"Ah, that must be why there are scorch marks on the siding" thought Ash, taking another bite of his dinner.
The meal finished without any other questions but Gardenia and Ash traded gardening secrets with each other and found a lot in common. "Have a nice night you guys" Gardenia waved to the trio.
"See you tomorrow Gardenia" Ash waved back.
"Be ready for our battle, it's not going to be easy" the leader responded and winked before heading back to her house. Once at home she let her pokemon out and fed them before taking a shower. It was there where she began to think about the similarities Ash and her shared. "He's kind, caring, and great with kids. Not to mention he knows a lot about gardening and plants. He is a hell of a catch." she thought, stepping out of the shower and drying herself off. Now dressed in a green silk nightgown Gardenia flopped onto her bed and continued her thoughts. "If everything goes right tomorrow, I might be able to get him to take me on a date." she chuckled and drifted off to sleep.
The Next Day
Ash had woken up from his slumber and bit fidgety. The Pallet Town native was having similar thoughts about Gardenia and was thinking about asking her out on a date after their battle. As he and his friends ate breakfast he ran the idea by them to see how they would react to this. Both of his friends were supportive of this idea, although Dawn did look a bit bummed out at first. With his friend's support, Ash was now ready to take on the gym. Making sure he had the right team, the trainer and his friends marched over and entered the building containing his second badge.
"Glad you are here Ash. Are you ready for our battle?" she asked the trainer.
"Of course, I was born ready." he answered, as the two of them threw out their first pokemon. Their battle was a three on three and lasted for almost 20 minutes before Ash was able to overcome his opponent and be victorious. Ash approached Gardenia and stuck his hand out. "That was a great battle" he laughed, as Gardenia took his hand.
"Yes it was. Congratulations Ash, I present you with the Forest Badge." she placed the badge into his hand and covered it with her own.
Ash stared into her eyes for several seconds before asking "Hey Gardenia are you doing anything later" he asked the gym leader.
"Oh Arceus is he really going to ask me out. No why?" she asked.
"Here we go. I was wondering if you wanted to go out to eat later." he practically whispered.
"Ash Ketchum are you asking me on a date." she let out in a low voice.
"Yes I am" he shot back, hoping that she would accept his proposal.
"Alright, come back at six and we can go out." she responded. Ash took a deep breath, thanking Arceus that Gardenia had accepted.
"Ok see you then." he added before kissing her knuckle and leaving the gym with his friends. As soon as the trio left Gardenia let out a loud cheer, happy that Ash had asked her out. She immediately left for her house to heal her Pokemon and prepare for her date.
With Ash
Ash was currently a nervous wreck. Even though he had succeeded in asking out Gardenia, he still was unsure of where to take her. He had brought his nice clothes with him from Kanto and was currently looking up places to go for dinner. Brock had given him a rundown on what to do during his date. When the time came for his date he left Pikachu with Brock and only took a few of his pokemon with him. He arrived at the gym and the door opened to reveal Gardenia. Ash let out a gasp. She was wearing a beautiful long-sleeve orange sweater that matched her eyes.
"Are you ready to go." Ash asked the girl in front of him.
"Yes, where are we going." she asked her date.
Ash chuckled and led the way to where they would be eating. It was a nice restaurant that Gardenia knew well and was impressed with Ash's choice in dining. While they were waiting for the check they got to know each other better. "How was your meal?" he asked the gym leader.
"It was fantastic. I have been here before and love their pasta dishes." Gardenia revealed. It was at this moment where Ash began smelling a waft of something bad. "Do you smell that? It smells like smoke." he asked the Eterna native.
Before Gardenia could answer there was a loud explosion near the front door. The door lit up in flames and everyone started panicking as a voice announced that they were to be sacrifices for the greater good of Team Galactic. Ash growled and immediately released Buizel to put the fire out. Some of the other customers had pokemon on them and helped as well but Ash noticed Gardenia was frozen in fear. Putting the fire out the trainers broke through the door and saw several Galactic trying to run away from the building. Ash called Turtwig out and the grass type managed to capture one of them but the other two escaped. Officer Jenny picked up the one grunt and took him away leaving Ash and Gardenia to pay their check. Gardenia was silent the entire walk back to the gym. Ash did not want to leave her in this state, so he tried to get her to talk.
"Gardenia are you ok, you haven't said a word since the restaurant?" he asked.
"I'm sorry Ash, but I freeze whenever there is fire and have done so since the incident.
"What incident?" he asked in a concern.
Gardenia whimpered but relented "I won't tell you here". With that She led Ash on a five minute walk down the road to her house. They both went inside and Ash sat down at the kitchen table. "Do you want any tea?" the gym leader asked her date.
"Sure I'd love some" Ash answered. It took ten minutes for the tea to be ready before Gardenia brought it over and sat down across from Ash.
"It happened 3 years ago." she began her tale. She revealed that her father was the gym leader of the Eterna gym before her and her mother had died giving birth to her. She brought the fact that the gym used to have two greenhouses before the incident.
"So what happened." Ash pried.
"One day my father and I were in the far greenhouse when it caught fire." she revealed. "I still don't know how but it did and a tree we were raising caught on fire and fell and fell to the grown pinning me beneath it. My father rushed over and eventually got it off me but not before the fire burned my chest and back." She explained as tears fell from her eyes."Then my father carried me out of the greenhouse before it burned to the ground. I survived my injuries but my father did not".
Ash was speechless as his date revealed her past and the fact that she was all-alone in the world and how she believed that she was weak for allowing the tree to pin her down. It was at moment when Ash spoke up "Gardenia you are not weak. What happened to you and your family was terrible but it is not your fault." he defended his date.
"I'm trash Ash I'm the reason that…" she was interrupted as Ash grabbed her face and embraced her in a searing kiss. Gardenia melted into his touch and allowed the kiss to last until they needed to breathe. With a gasp the duo broke apart and fell back against their chairs. "Ash why?" she whispered in wonder, touching her lips.
"Because I truly believe in you as a person and as a trainer." he answered back. "Besides we are alike in are love for gardening so there is that connection as well." he added.
"Thanks Ash I really needed that" she giggled as her date began to leave his chair. Ash was stopped from going any further as his hand was grabbed by Gardenia. "Ash please stay the night with me, you mentioned it yourself that we are so alike, please give me a chance to prove it to you." she pleaded.
Ash kissed her knuckle again and responded "Gardenia I will do what ever you want my flower." he answered back in a whisper.
Gardenia led the trainer up stairs and opened the door to her bedroom. She began to take off Ash's vest while the Pallet Town native worked on his pants. After a minute of rummaging around the duo separated, as Ash was now clad nothing and his semi-hard hard was sprouting at a proud six inches already.. "Let's work on you now my dear" he spoke only to be shooed away by the girl.
"Ash I want you to look away while I do it myself." she asked her date.
"You don't trust me?" Ash wondered, a bit sad if that was true.
"I do but do this for me please." she pleaded. Ash nodded in acceptance and turned around. After a two minutes he heard a whisper, "ok Ash I'm ready".
The boy turned around and let out a loud gasp. Gardenia was currently naked as the day she was born but that was not what was so shocking. Her entire chest, stomach, and arms was covered in a large continuous tattoo that extended onto her back. "I see you like your ink" Ash spoke as Gardenia walked forward and embraced him in a hug.
"I was tired of looking at the scars that reminded me of my father's death." she whispered, kissing his neck and ear.
Ash let out a chuckle as the two of them toppled onto the bed. It was at this moment he got a better look at what his lover's tattoo was. Her body had different flowers and berries etched into her skin but the background were lush leaves, almost as if she had green skin. "Your beautiful" he whispered "just like a garden".
Ash began kissing his lover's neck and the girl began to writhe as his sensitive lips smothered her scarred skin. She snaked her way down to Ash's hard member and began to stroke his cock. Ash grabbed onto Gardenia's ass and tilted her upside down to get access to her glistening shaven pussy. "Dear Arceus he must be almost a foot." she said to herself as Ash's dick reached its full length. She took a small lick at his tip before slowly putting it in her mouth like a lollipop. Ash moaned as his member was covered in saliva and started to descend into Gardenia's throat. Deciding to return his lover's affection for his genitals Ash lowered his head and stuck his tongue into Gardenia's snatch. The gym leader let out a hum of satisfaction as Ash assaulted her clit.
The two trainers continued these actions on each other for 5 minutes until Gardenia caved and squirted her nectar onto her lover's tongue. Ash growled as Gardenia raked her teeth on his member and began to cuddle and role his testicles in her hands. Both of these actions eventually were enough for Ash. "Gardenia I'm close." he groaned, causing his lover to deep throat him even further than before. "Here it comes." he grunted and unleashed a load of his semen into the gym leader's mouth.
Gardenia was filled up almost immediately and it took all of her will power to swallow the massive amount of liquid. Ash pulled Gardenia onto her back and pinned her hands to their sides and straddled his lover's legs. It was at this moment he noticed her tattoos extended down to her pubis were an orange flower designed to look like the female reproductive system.
"You have certainly been looking forward to this for a while" he chuckled, bending down and licking it.
"Why don't we make a little game" groaned Gardenia, on cloud nine from her orgasm and the licking.
"Oh, what do you have in mind my dear?" Ash asked, pulling back from his ministrations.
"I have over 25 different flowers and berries all over my body and they are sore. Can you kiss the ones I name to make them feel better?" she asked Ash in a cute voice.
"Of course dear, is there anything else you would like me to do?" he responded lovingly.
"I want you to fuck me." she answered, causing Ash to nearly stumble.
"Are you sure, I don't have any condoms on me." he tried to explain, only to be silenced by Gardenia who leaned up and kissed him.
"It would be an honor to have a child with a man as caring and compassionate as you are." Gardenia pleaded. Ash took a deep breath and thought for a moment. Gardenia was a powerful trainer who was just as loving and caring as him, not to mention she loved gardening just as much.
"Could I really love her just days after meeting her." he said to himself. Just one look into her pleading eyes gave Ash answer he needed. "Alright, but I'll be gentle to start." he relented. Gardenia immediately planted another kiss on his lips in response to his decision.
"I would be more then glad to spend the rest of my life with you" she sighed in content as Ash straddled her abdomen, his cock teasing her entrance. Gardenia let out a moan as her lover inserted himself into her velvety walls. He inched forward until he felt the tip of his penis hit a barrier.
"From what I've read this might hurt a bit." warned Ash.
Gardenia gave him a nod and the Pallet Town native pushed forward and broke his lover's hymen. Gardenia let out a piercing scream but was quickly silenced as Ash enveloped her in a kiss. After thirty seconds Gardenia gave Ash the ok to start moving again. Ash complied and began to rock his hips back and forth at a slow pace.
"Alright let's get this little quiz started" said Gardenia, stifling a moan of pleasure as Ash's beast impaled her over and over. "Find the hydrangea" she ordered.
Ash scanned his lover's body and found a pink version of the flowers on his lover's left bicep and planted several kisses on it. Ash could feel the scarred skin beneath his lips and could only wonder the pain Gardenia had go through not only from the fire but to tattoo all of this sensitive skin. He was shaken from his stupor by another moan from his lover.
"Look for the Sitrus Berry" she ordered, causing Ash to scramble for the familiar yellow color. He found it on the left side of her stomach and began his magic actions. After a minute she ordered him to find an amaryllis. Ash did so and continued to tease his mistress. After finding several more flowers and berries Gardenia pleaded for Ash to find a rose. Ash looked all over the gym leader's abdomen and arms but couldn't find it.
"Hold on love, I'm going to turn you around" he warned his partner.
"Do what ever you have tooooo." she whimpered as Ash picked his lover up and spun her onto her hands and knees. Gardenia could not take his pumping any more and came onto her lover's member. Now above Gardenia, Ash got a great look at his partner's back and ass where he found the flower on her right ass-cheek.
"Oh you dirty girl" he laughed, kissing the large rump.
"Your lips are magical" whimpered Gardenia, experiencing another orgasm.
It had been nearly an hour since the duo began coitus and it was finally taken its toll on Ash. "Gardenia I'm going to come, let me pull out." he warned the gym leader and started said action. However he was stopped as Gardenia clamped her legs together.
"I told you before Ash I want to raise your child and spend the rest of my life with you. So fertilized my seeds already." She growled out.
"If that is what you want my love, I shall make it so." With that the young man came inside of his lover's pussy. Gardenia writhed in pleasure as she felt her core fill up with her partner's flipped the two of them back over so that she was now resting on his chest. "I guess this makes us a couple now." Ash let out, exhausted from the duo's activities.
Gardenia kissed him before responding, "We are that and much more". The two trainers snuggled against one another before drifting off to sleep.
Four Years Later
After the wonderful night he spent with Gardenia, Ash decided to finish his badge collection and the Sinnoh League before coming back. He was able to finish in the top two of the competition, losing to a trainer who had a Darkrai and a Latios. It was at this point when he returned to Eterna City where Gardenia was waiting for him. She was currently several months pregnant with Ash's child and the two of them were excited at the possibility of being parents. While Ash was on his journey, the police had discovered that Team Galactic had been the ones responsible for the fire that nearly ruined the gym leader's life three years ago. Luckily Ash got revenge for the girl and the two of them settled down and began a food and medicine business, selling their plant products to pokemon centers and restaurants. Ash's mom discovered that her son was getting married and moved near the couple to help them with their new business.
With Ash bringing Gardenia out of her shell the girl finally got the confidence to not wear sweaters in the greenhouse and to proudly show her tattoos to the world. In the four years since they first met the couple had a daughter named Rose and a son named Antonio. They were currently expecting a third child. Ash had also taken up his wife's tattoo habit and got his upper body done in a similar pattern but with different flowers. He also got his penis tattooed to look like a garden hose (Which he kept from his mother) so he and his wife could have a little role-play in bed. Gardenia and Ash embraced as they drove to the doctor's office knowing that they were bringing another seedling into the world and that their lives couldn't possibly get any better.
