Journey to Another World 3
Ch. 20
(Authors note: I'm glad that you reader/s have enjoyed the story this far. Chapter 50 is something quite special to me, because I never thought that this story would be taken so far. It's all thanks to you reader/s, for sticking with this this far and helping to keep my interests in this story going. And just for that I'm making this one quite long, so enjoy and thanks again.)

You never know how much you'll miss something until it's taken away from you. The same thing goes for someone that you deeply care about. And by the way that these girls were constantly sticking by my side, (As well as in the bathroom, though I'd told them I'd be fine) I knew that they loved me deeply.

After the initial shock from the doctor telling me/us that we were in Hearthome city, that I'd been unconscious for nearly a week, the girls had nearly cried themselves to dehydration from how worried they were about me, I finally started to recover.

For the next three days they had me on bed-rest. Finally I couldn't put up with sitting on my rump any longer and practically fought my way out of the place. (Of course I had my cloths on at the time. Rather than the awkward back open gown that they seem to favor so much. =P ) The final thing that allowed the doctors to let me leave was the girls promising up and down that they wouldn't allow me to get out of their sight, not even for a moment. So putting on a simple pair of blue pants, white shirt, socks of course, my new pair of hiking boots, we all left the hospital room and the Pokemon center.

Once outside I stood up on the top of my toes, spread out my arms as far as they would go, and took in a deep breath of the dirty/un-alcohol cleaned air. "I'd almost forgotten what fresh air smells like."

"Are you sure you should be up and about Donovin? You know you can rest a little longer if you would like." Jenavee said to me as I took my first steps outside the center.

"Jenavee is right Donovin. I would...I mean, we would feel much better if you would at least stay in bed for at least another day." Rena said as well.

I took a long sigh and dropped my head. A brief memory popped into my head as to when I was still in bed. It was one thing to help me to eat, entirely something else to have three girls argue over who was going to give me a sponge bath. Now don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the attention for the first few days, but when each day you have three girls fawning over you, enough was enough. 'I just wish that these girls would allow me the chance to breath.'

I slowly turned and all three girls gave me the look of 'Don't...even...say...it.' And yet again, a mighty swordsman falls to his knees at the mere look of an angry women. In my case, three angry women. So with that Rena took up my right arm and Jenavee my left, while Kit took it upon herself to growl at anyone that even came close. Even when I had the slightest notion of telling them that I could walk on my own, I got that look. 'I'm going to have a long talk with these girls once were back at the center tonight.'

"So where did you want to go in the first place Donovin?" Jenavee asked me.

"That is right. You never did tell us where you wanted to go. You seemed quite insistent to get out of the center this morning."

"Can you girls blame me?" I stopped walking and looked at all three of them. "It's not like I don't enjoy being taken care of by three beautiful girls. It's just that..." All three of them looked up at me with twinkles in their eyes. 'Sheesh. If they keep up that look, I'll never be able to get in a word edgewise.' "I just needed to get out and get some fresh air. If I stay cooped up in that room, I'll never get my strength back. Much less get the things that we need to get taken care of done while were here?"

All three girls looked at each other. "Don't tell me you girls forgot the whole reason why we came here." Jenavee and Kit looked at each other with dumbfounded looks while Rena just put her fist to her head, stuck her tongue out, and closed one eye.

"Well I do not know about the others, but I did not forget." Rena said.

I took a step back and placed my hands on my hips and looked directly at her while I leaned towards her. "Oh really Rena. You mind sharing with the other girls why we came all this way then." I gave her a knowing smirk and tilted my head to the side. "Hmmm?"

With that she placed her hand behind her head and laughed. "Hay now, that is not fair." She said.

"Well come on Rena. Both Kit and I are waiting. Miss smarty pants. Tell us all why we are all here." Rena started to show this bit of a panicked look on her face. She'd been busted and she knew it.

She walked away, turned her back on us, and crossed her arms. "Alright already. I do not know. It is not like either of you two know." She looked over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at Jenavee and Kit.

I just simply smirked and stood upright, which caused several pops to be heard from my back. "That's what I get for lying down for so long. Ouch." I twisted around for a minute and the sound of several other pops were heard as well. Once I was done stretching I looked at the girls to see that they all had worried looks on their faces. "Now wait a minute." I threw up my arms to defend myself against some concerned patting and checking to see if I was alright. "I was just stretching. No need to be worried." With that, all three girls smiled and went back to their original position around me.

"So tell us already. Where are we going today?" Jenavee asked first with innocence, then quickly grew stern. "It had better not be to far form the center. Otherwise we will just have to drag you back there and do it ourselves."

"It's not that far. Or I think it's not that far." I looked around. "I just want to find out where we can make those Poffins is all. And if we have some time..." 'Or these girls allow me some time.' "I'd like to find out how to make them as well."

"Oh that is right. We were heading here to make Poffins." Jenavee said as her eyes went wide in realization.

"To make our other sister, Feebas, evolve." Rena scratched at her muzzle. "But evolve into what?" She asked as she looked up at me.

"To evolve Feebas into a Milotic silly. That way...wait a minute. Did you just say that Feebas was...your other sister?" I looked at Rena, but she was looking away at something or probably sniffing at something.

"I am surprised that you did not know." I looked over at Jenavee. "Both Rena and I knew that Feebas was a girl ever since the first day that we met." She tilted her head to the side. "I thought you knew. As a matter of a fact, I though all trainers knew the gender of their Pokemon once they caught them."

"Well, unfortunately some trainers have gone their whole carriers as a trainer, thinking that all Pokemon are the same sex. And that the eggs that they lay are a the only way that they find out." All three girls turned and looked at me. "Wait a minute. It's not like I didn't know. I new the first time that I saw the three of you that you all were beautiful angels." 'Damn that was close. I nearly dug myself my own grave with that.'

All three girls pressed together and looked deeply into my eyes. "Really." They said in complete unison, as well as drawing out the word.

'Shit another trap. Got to think, got to think.' "Now wait a minute. Aren't we supposed to be looking for that Poffin place. If were going to evolve Feebas to come anywhere near you threes level of beauty, then were going to need to find that Poffin place and make some of those Poffins to evolve her into a Milotic." So I pointed off towards a random building. "Now off to the Poffin making place." I said as I walked past the girls.

"That is right. We need to stop wasting time and find that Poffin p..." Jenavee shook her head. "Wait a minute. Donovin, you still have not answered my question." She looked around. "Hold on. Where did he go." She raised up her hand and clenched it into a fist. "Darn it Donovin. If you think for even a second that you can escape that easily. You are sourly mistaken. Come on girls, it is time for a chase." All three girls nodded and split up to search for their evasive master.

(A quick chase and an hour later.)

I quickly opened up a door and ducked inside, then quickly shut the door and leaned against it. "Damn that was close." I looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "It's like one of those question that you know that either way you answer, you've dug your own grave. Though this time I'd be dead, decapitated, and then buried. Then all three girls would be laughing over my grave." I slid down the door and took a deep relieved sigh. "I'll just wait in here for a minute and let those three calm down a bit before I go outside again."

"Um sir?" I turned and saw a girl standing over me. "Um is there anything I can help you with?"

I closed my eyes, smiled, and rubbed the back of my head. "Sorry about this. But would it be alright if I just stay in here for a minute. I've got some..." 'Very pissed of girls outside looking for me.' "People who I'd rather not face off against right now, after me." I pleaded both my palms together and pleaded. "So please let me stay in here for a minute."

"Well that's no problem sir. But I must ask you to at least step away from the door, as we might have customers that would like to enter."

'Wait a minute. Customers?' "Customers?"

"Well certainly sir. After all, this is where people go to make Poffins for their Pokemon." I slowly opened my eyes again and was amazed by what I saw. It was like the home-ec class back in high school. (Or in other words, a giant kitchen) "If you'd like I could show you how to make some Poffins while you...um...avoid those people." I instantly jumped to my feet and grabbed both her hands.

"That'd be great." I looked at the girl for the first real time. The girl was of course dressed in a cooks apron that was well pushed out by her chests (You perv. Get your mind out of the gutter. =P ), a long skirt that went over her feet, a blue long sleeved shirt, and brown eyes that matched her hair which reached down to the middle of her lower back. "So, where do we start."

About another hour later, I was a master at making Poffins that were decent in size and a little soft on the inside while the outside was nice and crunchy (Getting hungry for some cookies yet?). Or at least, pretty good at it. "Oh my, and who might those three Pokemon belong to?" I heard the girl who went by the name Loren say.

'So this is where you have been hiding. Probably just flirting with that girl in there. Oh you are so going to get it once you come out of there.'

'I'll see you soon Aunt Gertrude.' Dum Dum De Dum. Dum De Dum De Dum De Dum. (Funeral music) I thought as I looked towards heaven.

"Donovin watch it. Your going to burn your Poffins again." Loren scolded me again.

"What." I looked down and could see that there was small darker puffs of smoke rising from the pot. "Damn." I quickly started mixing the mixture again. "Shoot, that was close. Sorry about that Loren. Guess I kind of got distracted there for a minute." 'Damn. I new that they would eventually find me, but right in front of when I'm about to finish up the Poffins that we needed. And I nearly burnt the Poffins.'

'Wait a minute Jenavee. I think he just said that he is making Poffins in there. Alright Donovin you had better explain who that girl is in five seconds or...'

I knew that if I looked behind me right then that I'd no doubt see her make the decapitation move with her paw. 'Alright, alright. The girl that you see helping me is Loren. She's the one that is teaching me how to make Poffins. And not just Poffins for Feebas, ones for all three of you as well.'

'All three of us?' Rena asked in a shocked tone.

'That's right.' I took a sigh. 'Poffins to make fur more shinny, Poffins to make skin more smooth, and even Poffins to make...Well just about everything better.' "Say Loren. I need to pop this batch into the oven really quick. Is there any open right now?" I asked, not taking my attention off the mixture.

"Ya, oven number five is open and preheated. Go ahead."

"Thanks." I took the mixture and poured it onto a greased cookie sheet and spread them into several clumps, then threw the whole thing into the oven to bake. Just then I heard the sound of the doors bell chime and knew that the girls had just entered.

"Oh my. And who's Pokemon are these?"

I looked over my shoulder and could see that, sure enough, it was all three of my girls. "Actually." I removed my oven mitts. "All three of these Pokemon are my lovely girls." I placed my mittens on the counter and shut off the gas stove. "We have Jenavee the Gardevoir."

"Nice to meet you." She said as I saw her do a little curtsy while lifting up her gown a little. (Ya you find a word for those things that a Gardevoir has that go over it's legs)

"Rena the Lucario."

"Also a pleasure, miss Loren." She placed a paw over her chest and nodded.

"Oh please. Just call me Loren." She said with a blush.

"Last but certainly not least, Kit. The Ninetails."

She said something between and aw and an oh, then practically tackled Kit to the floor while hugging her. "I absolutely love Ninetails. There snowy white fur, those long tipped tails, of there the most beautiful of all the Pokemon out there." But she didn't hug her long as she held her out and took a long look at her. "Wait a minute. This is a shiny Ninetails. Oh I love shiny Ninetails so much more!"

I knew the question that was about to come. "No you can't have her, Loren."

"Why not. There the most beautiful Pokemon out there. I promise that I'll take really good care of her."

To which I couldn't help but laugh. "You almost sound like a little kid asking his parent to keep a pet they found. And the answer is still no." I turned back to the oven and switched on the light. "Now all I have to do is wait for the right time and then remove these Poffins and set them out to cool." I looked back over my shoulder and could see that she was rubbing her cheek against Kit's cheek. The look that Kit was giving me was almost pleading for help, to which I couldn't help but chuckle. "Careful Loren. If you keep doing that, you might just end up with an extra burner around here."

She quickly let go of Kit and stood up. "I'm sorry Kit. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." She walked over to me. "She's very beautiful Donovin." Then whispered. "Though I would recommend that you take her out and get that fur of hers brushed out. It's looking a little...neglected, if you know what I mean."

I looked over, but couldn't really see what she was talking about. 'Well she did just get a up close and personal feel with her. I guess she would know about that. Come to think of it, I don't remember the last time I spoiled any of my girls.' I smiled to myself, making sure that this private thought was actually heard. 'That's right. Since were in the town where there are Pokemon contests, and I just won a lot of things from those kids a while back. I think I'll spoil all three girls tonight.'

I heard gasps from all three girls at once behind me. 'Thought they'd pick up on that one. Still, I have to wonder if Kit can hear my thoughts as well?' I looked into the oven again. 'Have to think about that some other time. Got to concentrate on these little guys.'

About an hour later, all four of us walked out with the fresh baked smell of Poffins coming out of a large paper bag that I was carrying. "Don't forget to come on back if you need to make some more Poffins." I turned and saw Loren standing out side the building, smiling while she waving her hand in the air.

"Thanks Loren." I raised up the bag. "I'm sure..."

"Of course we will Loren." Rena said as she popped another hot Poffin into her mouth, then licked at her lips.

"If you keep that up Rena. We will probably see her tomorrow for more of them." Jenavee scolded her.

"I can not help it. Our master is a great cook. Who knew?"

Jenavee walked up to me, I lowered the bag, she took one, and then took a small nibble of the Poffin. Only to practically stuff the remainder of the Poffin into her mouth. "It almost makes up for the time when he forgot to cook us that spaghetti a while back."

"Wait a minute. You remember that?" She only nodded. I closed my eyes and sighed. Just then I heard a whimper. I didn't even get the chance to look down as Kit raised herself up, placed her forepaws on my shoulders and snatched a Poffin right out of the bag. Only to gobble it down while still up against me. "Darn it Kit. Get down before you...make...me...Wow." Bang. "Fall." I said as I landed right on my ass. (Author: Now let me tell you. That's one of the reasons why being tall sucks. It's a long way down) "And yet once again the old saying, 'The larger they are, the harder they fall', is proven once again. Ouch." To which all three girls began to laugh.

So in order to finish off this perfect day for the girls, we headed back to the Poke-Mart to sell off the supplies I'd pilfered from those two campers (Though all three girls decided that they would wait outside the Poke-Mart, and guard the Poffins that they thought was still in the brown bag), I'd actually placed all the Poffins into my pack and went into to the PokeMart, sold off nearly all the supplies from the campers, purchased many different beauty supplies, and then finally went back to the center with the girls. I could almost swear that the whole time that I placed the Poffins into my pack that they were constantly staring at it. It almost made me afraid that they copy Kit's move, (knocking me down to get at them) and then tear through the pack to start stuffing themselves. 'If they do that. I wont have any to use to evolve Feebas.'

So to avoid their hungry eyes and stomachs, I quickly started picking up my pace. Only to have them match me pace for pace, no matter how fast I walked/jogged/ or ran. I didn't stop running until I reached the Pokemon center. Nearly gasping for breath, 'Where's the speed boost when you need it. Damn these girls can run'. I said to myself as all three girls were clinging onto me. Either trying to get into my pack, or see what I'd purchased at the center by trying to look into the bag that I was carrying.

"Alright you three. OFF!" Fortunately there must have been some sense left in them as they finally let me go. "Look." I said as I turned around and faced them all. "I know that you all want to get pampered silly, but your going to have to wait until we get up to our room. Not to mention, I baked these Poffins for everyone, not just you three. And if you eat them all, I'll have to go out and make some more for Feebas. Furthermore if we don't give Feebas some of these, she's never going to be able to evolve and help us along on our journey."

All three of them lowered their heads and said, "Alright. Sorry Donovin".

I couldn't help but smirk as I looked at all three of them. It was almost like I'd caught them with all three of their hands in the cookie or should I say Poffin jar. I let out a long sigh, "It's alright girls. Now I know that I was in the hospital for a few days, so I need one of you to get a key from Nurse Joy for a regular room." Jenavee was quick to pick up that job. With that all three of us headed up the stairs to our room. "Next I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to get the door, since I've got my hands full." To which Jenavee gave the key to Rena and she opened to the door, which was a little bit of a chore since she didn't have opposable thumbs. Then we all went into the dark room. "And finally..." But I didn't need to say anything as Kit bounded around the room and pulled on the small chains of the lamps, turning them all on with her tails.

'Dang. These girls can't wait to be pampered.' I said to myself as I looked over my shoulder and saw that they all were sitting on the bed, watching my every move with either intent eyes or wagging tails. Setting my pack down on the bed I set the bag down on the table and start sorting through it. 'I've got several different types of shampoos and such, three different brushes for different times of their pampering, and finally those Poffins.' I looked over my shoulder and was thankful that I had enough foresight to wrap the ones that were for Feebas in a small handkerchief at the bottom of the pack.

'Now I know the answer to the next question.' "Who wants to be the first to get spoiled rotten?" Both Rena and Jenavee quickly jumped up and responded with a 'me first', but it was Kit who got my attention as she quickly tackled me to the floor again. Of course it hurt when my ass his the floor but I couldn't help but laugh while she gave me cheeks a full on tongue bath. "A...Alright Kit. Enough with the tongue. That thing tickles." Finally she let me up and I rubbed her cheek, "Well I guess that makes you first Kit". But when I looked past her to make sure that both Rena and Jenavee had their cheeks puffed out, arms crossed, and were back to back on either side of the bed. Obviously not to happy about not being first to be spoiled.

I couldn't help but laugh embarrassingly at that. So I got up, grabbed a bottle of Ninetails special shampoo, then walked us into the bathroom. I didn't notice but before I closed the door that Kit had given the other girls a raspberry.

Now let me tell you, trying to wash someone that has nine actual tails that can move independently of each other is quite a chore, as she would often use them to sneak around to either tickle me under my arms or give my rump a nice swat. She would give me a special hard swat whenever I would wash her underside or near her thighs, then would proceed to start giggling in her own Ninetails fashion.

Now things were starting to get a little heated as I would get into some of the more, shall we say, private areas. I don't know what it was but for some reason I was becoming increasingly bothered by something. I didn't realize what it was until there came a banging at the door. "Come on Donovin. There are other people out here that need to get in there and get cleaned up." Rena said through the door. That had snapped me out of the haze that I'd been in and realized that their was a very interesting scent in the room.

This one smelled like that of cinnamon and was coming from...Kit! Oh shit! I jumped up, lunged at the door, quickly opened up the door, and quickly ran out of the room while holding my nose. "Donovin what is wrong. Why did you run out of..."

"Jenavee. Can you not smell it. For crying out loud. No wonder he came out of there running. The rooms heavy with Kits smell." Rena said as she sniffed the air inside the bathroom.

"Wait what?" Jenavee walked to the door and took a long sniff. "You are right Rena. No wonder they were taking so long in there." She looked back at me to see that I had my head out the window. Trying my best to clear my head and nose of that intoxicating smell.

-----(Private conversation between Kit, Rena, and Jenavee)-----

'Do you think?'

'I do not need to think Jenavee. I know. If I did not knock on the door like I had, those two would probably be going at it right now.'

"Whine" (Translation: Did I do something wrong?)

'That is right Kit. You almost did something very wrong with our master. On top of that you almost broke the agreement that we all had.'

'Well it is not like she had any control over her body right now Jenavee.'

'Wait a minute Rena. You mean...'

'Yes. I am starting to feel the same way that I did back when first tried to leave that last town.'

"Whine." (Translation: I feel so uncomfortable.)

'You both can not be serious. I have not even gotten with him since the first time. There is no way that I am going to let you two have a go at him without me.'

'Wait a minute. Are you subjecting suggesting what I think your suggesting.'

'I will go along with it. As long as I am the first to bed him.'

-----(Meanwhile somewhere else in Sinnoh)-----

"I am sorry sir but when we sent our operatives to our outpost in Eternai City, we found it to be completely empty." A grunt says to an overly large monitor to a very upset face that is shrouded in darkness. The only thing that can be seen in the shadowy darkness of the face is that the head is propped up on interlaced fingers, while the obvious male face has on a set of dark glass that hide the malicious eyes of their leader.

"Explain!" The voice comes over the speakers of the monitor in an obvious pissed off tone.

"From what..." The operative takes a moment to finally swallow the overly large lump that has lodged itself in his throat. "From what we can gather sir, is that he was there again."

"And what of Juniper!? Why is it that you have to give me this report and not her!?" The face continues to rise in anger as blood vessels in the faces forehead start to show.

The grunt tries but fails at swallowing another lump in his throat. "I'm sorry sir, but she's..."

BAM. The grunt flinches as the sound of a fist is slammed on a table on the faces side of the screen. "Damn it not again. It's just like what happened with Mars at the Wind Works. What of the breeding center? Is that operation still running, or has he gotten his hands into that too?" The grunt nods his head. The face disappears from view for a moment, then returns later. Looking like much of the rage has passed in the face. "And where is he now. You'd had better not tell me you lost him."

Sweat quickly starts to show on the grunts face as he pulls a the collar of his silver and black outfit. "After he emerged from the Pokemon center here, he headed for cycle road..."

"AND!" The grunt pulls at his collar again but can't seem to find the words that will save his hide. "By your expression I take it that you DID loose sight of him." The grunt allows his head to fall, as he awaits for the obvious anger that is about to fall on him. Instead the only thing he hears is fingers drumming on a tabletop. "That must mean that there is a good chance that he's heading for Hearthome City, if he isn't already there."

The grunt raises his head and looks up at the monitor. The face is now rubbing it's chin. "Orders..." Gulp. 'Finally got that lump down.' "Orders Sir?"

The face stops rubbing it's chin, then rests it's hands on it's interlaced fingers again. "I want all grunts and officers to head down to Hearthome City. Use any means necessary to either stop or kill that overgrown giant."

The grunt slaps his arms to his sides and bows to the screen. "As you wish, master Cyrus." He stands upright again and throws out his right arm palm up. "For the creation of the perfect world." The face nods and the screen goes dark. 'How in the world are we supposed to go up against a giant that wield a damn sword?' He thinks.

In a building far off in the distance the lights slowly come on in an office like building. 'If those pathetic grunts can't stop that giant, then I'll have no choice but to send Saturn after him.' The man stands up and walks over to a set of blinds and pulls a cord. The dark blinds turn and allow the man to look out the evening light. The man looks up at the towering Mt. Cornet. 'If he defeats Saturn like he did with Mars and Jupiter then it'll be up to me to make our dream a reality.' In his eyes are reflected the mountain as he looks from the base to the clouds that hide the upper portion of the giant mountain.
