Chapter 25 - I'm A Grown Man!

Putting around half of my body into the water I see Cetoddle run up to me and while they do slip they fall into the water and seem fine.

'Now that I think about it this is my first proper bath as a Pokemon. I mean I've gotten wet before but I never let Amelia bathe me no matter how many times she tried to, I mean I'm Human for Arceus sake! Though I didn't expect a literal mass Pokemon bath for everyone, I guess that's just what you do when your grossly rich and you have Pokemon. Though I wonder how this works considering that this side looks to be a normal temperature while the side Houndooms on is literally almost simmering from heat.'

Picking up Cettodle and placing them on top of a embedded ledge in the water I look around and find a rubber Ducklett and give it to him. Making sure that he won't drown himself or anything I slowly make my way over to Houndoom and her side of the water.

"Zorua! Want to join me? I wouldn't recommend it as it gets pretty hot over here and you ain't ready for it!" Houndoom seeing me move closer says and I definitely know what she's talking about as I get closer and closer to that side it gets warmer and warmer.

'She wasn't kidding it really is super hot over here. It isn't in the air or anything, which is super weird (and in my past world probably physically impossible) its also interesting I mean this is probably a form of training for Fire types right? Training for their water weakness and increasing their ability to handle flame.'

'Learning Time With D!: So far I've learned a little of the training process of Fire types. The firststep is their fire endurance, all Fire types can learn similar moves since most of fire type moves are just fire at different levels of intensity, like Ember is a weaker Flame burst. Which means teaching a vulpix Flamethrower isn't very hard but getting them not to hurt themselves in the process is. Thar's why in the wild Fire Pokemon constantly fire off powerful moves so that their fire resistance builds up quickly, although caught Pokemon don't use that form as training usually since it causes all sorts of problems, which is the reason Fire types aren't common in the wild! (I think.) The other step is their flame capacity which is also a form of environmental energy manipulation or EEM for short. I don't really know a lot about that but maybe its similar to P.P? Anyways that's todays Learning Time With D!:'

Playing a little theme song in my head I organize my thoughts in a...interesting way. 'The hell was that? Anyway it wasn't wrong but it was pretty unrelated. The heat is basically unbearable now. Even with my illusion numbing the pain I feel being in nearly boiling water still hurts like a bitch and I don't want my illusion going down because of a bath.'

While I don't get out I sit in the same place of where I stopped which is around 12 or so feet away from Houndoom. "If I knew you could handle this much then I'd been firing Flamethrowers at you by now!" Houndoom looks decently surprised and starts to laugh slightly.

Shaking my head and moving away from her both Empoleon and Jarl are on the complete opposite of Houndoom engaging in a conversation as Swinub is hanging from Jarls tusks.

Looking back towards Cettodle they are splashing towards Doku as they make a valiant attempt to clean them in some capacity.

Hearing the door open two people walk in being Amelia and Darach. With Amelia bringing multiple brushes and buckets and Darach putting on different thicker rubber gloves

"Everyone its time for washing!" Amelia declares as she makes her way towards the splashing Cettodle, while Jarl brings Swinub over towards her. "Kage that means you too!"

I almost let out a growl before putting on a happy face and swining towards Amelia. 'Arceus please let me figure out e out a human transformation very soon or I fear that I might just go crazy. I'm a fully grown ADULT MAN! I can't let myself be bathed by a teenage girl! The only reason I'm letting it happen now is I fear that if she doesn't do it Darach will and that man leaves no spot uncleaned.'

Getting pulled over I get lathered up in anime levels of soap before getting dunked in water. Though its not before I'm bent over her knee and my ear get cleaned out with my claws cleaned. 

'I'm a GROWN MAN! Please stop doing this to me...' Mentally crying I let myself be cleaned before dashing outside of the bathing room.
