3rd POV

Kenta has prepared a speech to influence the town folk further.

"Everyone, air pollution has resulted in Global warming which disrupts our ecosystems. We all should understand the importance of nature and take some individual steps to solve this type of problem. It is not good to only depend on the government's actions as our last measure. We should step up from ourselves by planting more trees, managing the wastes properly, and using the 5R methods properly " Kenta explained to the town folks like an environmental activist.

"[Our boss is a part-type motivational speaker and full-time Dominator] " Pikachu told him

"[Prince needs his peasants after all] " Pidgeotto replied in haste.

People trusted and admired his public motivational speech of Kenta, Kenta made them believe in him so easily.

"That's indeed a good speech. I think you should become a politician " Erika suggested to him.

"A pokemon champion has a higher role than a politician, so it's better to try to choose that profession rather than that " Kenta countered back, Erika's suggestion leaving her astonished by his quick counter.

"That's...quite true. But how did you manage to form a sentence in your mind that quick " Erika asked him?

"I have quite experience....in debating with others, " Kenta told her while he got a sudden vision of his past in Danganronpa.

"ARGGH " Kenta yelled while bowing his head, and dropping to the ground.

"KENTA " Erika yelled in shock while breaking out of her formal tone. She is really worried when she saw the Resilient and tough to show his pain.

"[Master are you Okay]" Pidgeotto replied to him. While Kenta's other pokemon made sure he is ok.

...

"That's j-just a headache....don't worry, " Kenta told her while trying to hold his head.

Erika didn't quite believe that he can continue at this stage. So she has decided to make a quite bold move.

"Here " She replied to him and she pulled Kenta towards him.

"Hey," Kenta told her while trying to hold his headache.

"Don't be such a tough boy and just lay down on my lap...And relax~ " She replied to him while making Kenta rest on her lap.

"Just a little bit further....and we can reach Fuchsia city....what's this nonsense, " Kenta told her eager to defeat all the gym leaders and to make a new world record.

"I am making sure you are well-rested. And this is my thanks for earlier...Even a tough man like you needs support after all " Erika told him with a serious expression while blushing a bit by the sudden touch of him.

"You are.....right, even though I need support to succeed in my goals. I can't keep doing everything by myself. You are not half bad yourself " Kenta told her.

"HEY, what's that supposed to mean, I am not helpless you know. HMPH! " She replied turning her head away from Kenta.

"You misjudged me as much as I misjudged you. I think we are both at fault here " Kenta finished the argument in style.

"[I award him with best pinisher] " Pikachu declared.

"[Your spelling is wrong] " Pidgeotto pointed out.

"[Why every people is so serious in life, why can't they chill out like me] " Pikachu argued back.

"I suppose you are right....HeHe..." She replied giggling at his comment.

"You know....

Now that I have a good look at you....

I don't see a strong man hungry for ambitions.....

I see a boy who is seeking out company from others....the more I look at you " Erika replied using her interpersonal skills.

"You have good interpersonal talent.....But you will see more sides of me, yourself...Soon " Kenta told her giving chills.

"I will uncover every side of you...A mysterious guy like is quite fun to hang out with, you know " Erika told him.

"Suit yourself " Kenta replied to her.

Kenta rubbed his head on Erika's lap and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position on Erika's lap.

"Ah! Don't move that quick...You surprised me " Erika replied to him while blushing Beet Red while the sudden rub on her legs.

It made her legs feel weaker knowing that Kenta's head is dangerously closer to her lower region. Her imagination got wild and soon she has realized the position they are in....

Soon Erika's head steamed from embarrassment and her cheeks turned quite red and she had covered both of her cheeks using her hands.

"What have I done.....Oh! Arceus forgive me for my sin " Erika blurted out.

"And how is he is sleeping like that, without being embarrassed himself, " Erika said to the sleeping Kenta.

If only Erika knew of the things Teenage Kenta did...She might not be asking that otherwise.

Erika POV

He is sleeping like a log there. He is so helpless and vulnerable. He looks so cute when he is left like that. How can be so relaxed around me? Is it because I am not a threat to him? Or is it because he trusts me?

To be fair it looks pleasing and heartwarming to see the soft side of him, once in a while.

Should I pat his head...

It's so tempting for me to resist rubbing his hard skin with my soft hands....Imagination runs throughout the mind.

I want to caress his body with my own fingers and make himself desirable to him. I guess it's my feminine side of me that wants to seek his attention.

I don't know why I am having such forbidden thoughts. But it feels better when he acknowledges me and depends on me...just like now.

I tried to touch his hair and patted it....is it so fluffy and warm...

And soon, I started head patting him without having any control of my body by me.

"Don't touch my body without my permission..." He told me with a glare.

"Now...Please take your finger away " He requested to me before.

"BEFORE I CUT IT " He replied in a threatening manner with a strong aura enveloped around him.

Scary...

Now I understand why Girls like Bad guys and strong guys...They are so addictive.

.....

What I am saying...I won't fall for anyone that easily. I need to control my temptations.

I should become a proper gym leader before I seek out other things...I should not distract myself from my goals as well.

"*Yawn* I have slept quite a bit, and it is thanks to you...Rest assured I will pack it back. So don't expect me to owe you " Kenta replied while being passive-aggressive.

"[I smell an ex-girlfriend relationship] " Pikachu pointed out.

"Yeah, I hope the cushioning is enough for your comfort " She replied to him with a smile on her face.

"I wanted better...but your legs are fine. " Kenta told her.

Erika blushed hearing his compliment.

"M-My l-legs h-huh. I a-am g-glad you l-liked t-them " She replied stuttering surprisingly. She definitely didn't expect him to compliment him. So she blushed herself embarrassed by his compliment.

Kenta on the hand is surprised by her new habits. He observed a little bit of change in her.

"You didn't put make-up on your face " Kenta pointed out.

Erika liked putting perfumes on herself and she enjoyed decorating her body with natural beauty products which suit her personality.

Her being out of character made Kenta quite surprised.

"I think...I will not put it right now. As I have decided to live out like myself. I have not decided to be the frail girl anymore. " She told him proudly.

Kenta on the other hand is not convinced and he took her make-up powder and he has begun applying it to her face.

"H-Hey w-what are you doing? Stop r-rubbing my face. *Cough* *Cough* " She replied coughing a bit by the powder going through her mouth when Kenta is applying to her.

"Even if I don't like you applying make-up, it is better than you are like this rather than being someone you don't like. It's payback for your earlier help. So be a good girl and spread your legs. " Kenta told her.

"Spreading my Legs? " She told him surprised.

"Sorry, my bad. It came out of my mouth. Anyway just shut up and don't move " Kenta replied to her.

Kenta has applied proper make-up to her face and prepared her within 5 minutes making her quite surprised by the speed he did to her.

"What? How can you do it within 5 minutes.....You can become a make-up artist with this talent...I look better when you applied it on me " She told him not believing what she is seeing.

A rough man like him having far better decoration skills than her is something she has not predicted in a million years.

"Now. Drop that expression and let's go to Fuchsia City.....Move or I will leave you " Kenta said going to his earlier self.

"Heeeey Wait for me " Erika told him while running over to him.
