And leave a 5 star review too, :)

...

The more we advanced, the darker the cave became and the Pokémon that lived there, fled when they saw us, as if they had never seen a human being, it was quite strange because the Pokémon in this area are not usually afraid of humans, according to Roxanne.

"Ehem, I don't want to be suspicious, but... are you sure this is the right way?" – I asked curiously.

It looked like he was leading us straight into a trap, don't fuck with me, is it a trap and she tricked us?!

"Hmm, it may seem like the wrong way because of the darkness of the place, but I assure you that we are only one kilometer from the exit" – Verity said.

We had been walking for almost an hour and, according to her, we were about to reach the exit... or so I hope.

Celeste, Roxanne, and Pikachu looked at me and nodded at the same time.

The 4 of us didn't trust Verity much, after all, it was strange, this place was too far from the normal path and it seemed that it was going to lead us straight into a trap, so Celeste, Roxanne and I sneakily took out our Pokéballs, I already took out Butterfree's because I think it's time to test her strength, moreover, Pikachu was also preparing to electrocute anyone with bad intentions, but soon after, we arrived at the exit of the cave.

"Come on, there's the way out!" – Verity said with a smile.

Verity ran to the exit.

"Girls, be prepared just in case" – I said.

"Yes" – they both said.

I had trusted myself because the Verity of the movie was a good person, but this is another world and it doesn't mean that the Verity of this world is the same as the one in the movie, I have to stop judging heroines and people only by their role in video games and anime.

Cautiously, we leave the cave only to realize that... there was no trap at all, Verity told us the truth, this was a shortcut because according to our GPS, we were only 3 hours from Cerulean City, so she did not lie to us.

"I told you, I told you there was a shortcut, now do you believe me?" – Verity asked.

Verity was not stupid and she knew that no one trusted her and they believed that she was up to something, after all, the place where she took them was very suspicious, but Verity's intentions were only to help them find the exit, no more, no less.

"Thank you very much for guiding us here, thanks to you, we will arrive in Cerulean City on time" – I said with a smile.

"You're welcome, it's always a pleasure to help guys as handsome as you!" – Verity said.

Then, she kissed my cheek with her sweet lips.

"You! What are you doing?!" – said the angry girls.

"Hehehe, you'll return the favor the next time we meet, well, rather, the one I want to return me the favor is Ash, see you, bye bye!" – Verity said.

Then, before the girls could say anything else, Verity returned to the cave, getting lost in the darkness of the cave.

"What a cheerful and nice girl" – I said with a smile.

And her lips felt amazing.

Hearing this, Celeste drew my face to hers and gave me a passionate kiss that lasted a few seconds.

"The best kiss is mine!" – Celeste said.

"Me too!" – Roxanne said.

Then, before Celeste could stop her, she gave me a small kiss on the lips that didn't last more than a second.

"Hehe" – Roxanne said cheerfully.

"You, you took advantage!" – Celeste said somewhat angrily.

"That's right" - Roxanne nodded.

"Pika pi!" – Pikachu said.

Then, she tried to kiss me too, however, I kissed her on the cheek and massaged her head.

Seriously, I don't like pokephilia and never will, isn't there a way to turn off the Charm so it doesn't affect Pokémon? This is too much.

[No, I'm afraid it's not possible to partially disable the Charm, the Charm is something that's part of you, disable it is totally impossible]

Ughhh, can't I do anything?

[Nothing at all]

Isn't there even an item in the gacha that prevents female Pokémon from being attracted to me?

[No, the gacha system only owns items belonging to the Pokémon world, so no]

So I will have to put up with this kind of situation in the future.

[Yes]

Shit.

*Note: I assure you that there will be no pokephilia now or in the future, this is simply to give something curious to the fic.

"Haa... let's continue, it's not long before we get to Cerulean City" – I sighed.

I'll think about something regarding that topic, for the moment, I prefer to avoid talking about it and that's all.

"Yes, come on, thanks to Verity, we will be on time for the Pokémon Center and we will even be able to do some sightseeing!" – Roxanne exclaimed.

"I love it, I want to go to see some clothes!" – Celeste said.

"Pika pi!" – Pikachu nodded.

But if Pokémon don't wear clothes...

Anyway, we set off towards Cerulean City while I prayed that we would run into some unforeseen event so that we would not have to go look at clothes, I doesn't need something very serious to happen to us, with something small but that takes us a few hours to solve, it will help me.

We walked calmly, admiring the landscape that rose around us, surprisingly, there was no one, we were the only ones.

"It's funny that we haven't met anyone yet" – I said curiously.

Not a single trainer, not even one person.

"Well, only Pokémon trainers walk around this region, most people use vehicles for it, and I think we're the last to arrive in Cerulean City, so it's normal that no one is here" - Roxanne said.

"How do you know that we are the last? It is possible that someone has been delayed" – Celeste said.

It's true, it's possible that there is someone who is worse off than us...

"It's just gym leader intuition" - Roxanne said.

"Huh? Gym leader's intuition? Is there such a thing?" – Celeste asked confused.

"Of course it exists, gym leaders develop this technique after dozens of years of practice!" – Roxanne said.

"Wow, amazing, I didn't know gym leaders were so awesome!" – Celeste exclaimed.

"Hahahaha!" – Roxanne began to laugh.

This surprised Celeste, why did Roxanne suddenly start laughing?

"What's going on?" – Celeste asked confused.

"Celeste" – I said.

"What's wrong?" - asked Celeste.

"She's playing a joke on you, there's no such thing as 'Gym Leader Intuition', she just wanted to laugh for a while" – I sighed.

Seriously, sometimes this girl is too innocent...

"You... You're going to pay me for having deceived me!" – Celeste exclaimed with a frown.

"For that you'll have to catch me!" – Roxanne exclaimed.

Then, the two started running, Roxanne was running away from Celeste, who wanted to teach her new partner a lesson.

"Wait for me!" – I exclaimed.

Then the three of us started running for a while, but, surprisingly, I enjoyed it, for some reason I felt happy, I felt as if this was my place, as if my previous world had been a nightmare and that this was really my real world, it was a strange feeling that lasted a few minutes until...

"Mander!" - exclaimed a voice.

Hearing that scream, the three of us stopped only to see something curious.

In front of us was a group of Charmander, one of them was a little taller than the rest and had an angry look on his face, while around him were 6 smaller Charmanders.

All those Charmander were surrounding another one who looked somewhat scared, this Charmander was not a normal one, but its color was yellow, implying that it was a Shiny Charmander.

"Mander!" - cried the Shiny Charmander.

"Charmander!" - exclaimed the tallest one.

"Char!" - exclaimed the Shiny Charmander.

Hearing this, all the Charmanders began to shout as if what the Shiny had said was a rude word, when suddenly...

"MANDER!" – exclaimed the taller one.

Then, without warning, he attacked the Shiny Charmander, causing it to fall to the ground.

"You!" – I said.

I couldn't stand how several attacked a single one, so I decided that I had to help that Charmander.
