((OOC: Sorry, got Scott and Steven mixed up, retracting my suggestions about pokephile stuff, SORRY!))

Also, A or B.

C. Plenty of Golems in the caves. Their evolution line are some of the most common Pokemon in the world. So common that there's even a statistically significant chance of meeting a shiny one.

Whoa! Whew. What the hell happened there? For a while, you had a delusion that someone here was a pokephile with absolutely no evidence to that fact. What the heck? It had to be the extreme proximity of conflicting, high power badges. Maybe they caused your mind to go to a sort of default thought (of which pokephilia musings totally is one!) with kind of a waking dream sort of delusion? Man, that was a trip!

Though, hmmm. Your list of changes did have the bit about considering Pokemon as people who are able to marry, recognizing pokemon/human marriages, and pokemon/pokemon marriages as legally binding. And Pokephiles WOULD be natural allies with your pokemon rights movement. The thing is, they wouldn't be useful natural allies unless you quietly figured out who they were and which specific powerful people were pokephiles, rather than just the somewhat taboo subculture in general. Though that begs the question -- what OTHER groups of humans are likely natural allies to the pokemon rights thing? You'd expect more of Magma to be so, but that didn't seem to happen. Do you have any more ideas?

>Are there any other humans that you could recruit?
The quest is wrapping up and I don’t want to introduce new plot points. Flygon will do much more activism work in his life, and it can be assumed he’ll find more humans sympathetic to his cause.

>Does Steven swing that way?
You text Scott to ask if he knows, and he replies that he’s never seen proof of it himself, but Steven’s always been a private person. Probably for the best if you don’t pursue that angle for getting on Steven’s good side.

>A, be frank with Mightyena about your intentions and go on a rock digging date
It’s a different grunt guarding the entrance, but word seems to have gotten around about your identity and she waves you in. After some searching through the extensive tunnels and corridors of the hideout, you find Mightyena sitting next to her trainer while the human does work on a desktop computer.

Hey Mightyena, do you want to hang out again today? Maybe go to Fiery Path and Dig up some Fire Stones or something?

Oh sure, that sounds fun and it’s a slow day.

She stands up and stretches before nudging her trainer to get her attention. The grunt looks at you and nods to Mightyena, who leads the way back aboveground.

You Fly after Mightyena as she bounds down the mountain, easily leaping over boulders and fallen pine trees. Her black back fur is glossy and well-groomed, and you admire her powerful legs and panting pink tongue.

Mightyena disappears into a gap in the rocks and you follow her down a secret entrance into the sparkling depths that line the volcano. You see Numel roaming in the low light, and a Koffing floats by, puffing foul smelling gas. A pawful of dirt smacks you in the face and you playfully throw some back at Mightyena.

The two of you make a big hole together, tails brushing each other. You turn over everything you find to Mightyena, so she can impress her trainer later, and once you get tired of Digging, you sit on the edge of the hole and bring up the ulterior motive.

Hey I’ve really been enjoying spending time with you, Mightyena. Um, you know I have a girlfriend but I’m not exclusive and I was wondering if you wanted to be casual partners? Like a friends with benefits thing?

Uh, yeah, that sounds okay. As long as it’s not a super serious commitment I’d be down to hook up.

We could even do it…right now?

How do you want to have sex with Mightyena?

>>1077310
Could do some oral exchange. Eat her out while giving her belly rubs, she is a good girl.

Partially bury yourselves together before going at it, one of you on top of the other. It'll let you stay in contact the whole time, and make things nice and steamy with all the heat it'll generate. Just make sure you stay hydrated!

Just do lots of fun stuff. No need to bury, that restricts movement and isnt that comfy -- immobilization fetish is for the SECOND time you have sex, not the first!

>Give belly rubs and call her a good girl
The foreplay is hot and heady. Some naysayers might say it’s all the fumes floating around the active volcano, but you’re attributing it to your excellent petting skills.

You duck your conveniently long neck to lick at Mightyena’s pussy until she’s panting, and then you climb over her, stomach to stomach. She whines and yips as you sink your cock into her slick hole, paws quivering where she’s holding them in the air. You like her vocality, and you spot a few wild Pokemon peeking in on your fucking.

After Mightyena howls her pleasure, you tangle your fingers in her soft belly fur, speed up your thrusts, and come deep inside her, before toppling over to lie on your back.

Once you’ve recovered enough to sit up, you take care to brush all of the scattered dirt off of Mightyena. She rests her head on your belly, pinning you in place without remorse until she’s ready to take her loot and return to her trainer. Her tail wags the whole way back up the mountain.

>The next morning…
You travel to Rustboro and land near the entrance to the Devon Corporation headquarters. Hopefully the people at the front desk have been warned about your arrival and you carefully push open the door and walk in.

>Vania encounter check: Failure
You wonder if you’re going to see Vania, since she also works here, but you don’t spot her big purple hat anywhere when you scan the lobby.

In a surprisingly short time, Steven comes down to the first floor to collect you and take you up to his enormous office. There are tons of neat stones in glass display cases and a hulking Cradily munching on some papers left on Steven’s desk. As you look around, you also spot a Claydol spinning idly midair in the corner and a Skarmory perched on a fancy cabinet.

Who do you want to focus on for the first half of the morning?
A. Steven’s Pokemon, they’ll probably have lots to say about their trainer
B. Steven, attend all of his meetings with him

A.

A, It'll probably make Steven happier to not have to immediately deal with you, and you may get some insight into how to win him over from his Pokemon.

A
Also, as usual, flirt with them.

>>1077376
A. He keeps at least some of them out and about which already says some good things.

>A, get to know Steven’s Pokemon
A man’s Pokemon are the window into all the juicy gossip in his life. These three should be fairly old since Steven had them since he was League Champion before Wallace and are sure to have all the details you can use to get on Steven’s good side.

You convey to Steven that you’ll stay here until he’s done with his meetings and he leaves without comment. The moment he’s gone, you walk to the other side of the office and lean against Steven’s desk, hip cocked.

>Flirt
Y’all are three fine looking Pokemon. What are you doing cooped up in this office instead of being admired by the general populace?

We’re sticking with our trainer, obviously! He has to work here and we cause less havoc than our pals Aggron and Metagross so we get to sit around the office all day.

You’d rather be outside and so would Steven, right? Why’s he stuck at this job if he hates it?

‘Cause his dad made him do it! Told him to take over the company when he retired to the board of directors. Steven was in the middle of searching for the great Jirachi too.

Cradily and Claydol nod in agreement. You gather that Skarmory’s the talkative one out of the three.

Too busy to battle with us, too tired after work to go exploring caves, it’s a crying shame. Money ain’t everything, his dad’s an old coot who just wants the company to stay in the family.

He stretches his wings with a clattering of metal feathers and flaps them a few times before tucking them back against his smooth body.

Anyway if you’re stuck here, we could use another player for cards.

This is good information. How do you want to proceed with Steven?

>>1077456
We could see if Jirachi would be willing to meet with Steven, on the condition of not being caught (unless she feels like it, I guess), and help Steven with some of his work by working as his volunteer assistant so that he has time to go cave exploring with his old gang of mons. We can provide him with a resume and a list of references from our past life.

Was he searching for a wish?
If he's in charge of the company now and not his dad, he can set his own hours to allow for free time. Tell him such.

>>1077456
Oh what, he was searching for Jirachi? You know where she is. Time for a bit of tit for tat, I think, so long as he's got the presence of mind to be respectful when he gets there.

>>1077474
>You know where she is.
We know where she was. I'm not sure if she's still there or not.

Jirachi sleeps a LOT tho, so its likely she still there

Importantly, don't promise you can get her to see him. We still need to ask her.

>Offer to help Steven meet Jirachi
Easy, quantitative, and much less complicated than trying to manage Steven’s business for him. You doubt Jirachi has moved from her comfy crater in Meteor Falls, though you’ll want to confirm Steven won’t try to catch her.

You still need to ask Steven about why he doesn’t reduce his own hours or take a vacation. After losing miserably at cards, you glance through some of the papers on Steven’s desk. It looks like Devon Corp is doing well financially, with healthy stock price growth and a hefty R&D budget to generate further products. Cradily slurps up the evidence of your snooping.

Steven returns to his office while on a call, and once he’s done he finally seems ready to talk with you.

You get into the business mindset and write a straightforward message. A chance to meet and speak civilly with Jirachi for as long as she wants in exchange for Steven’s support for the Pokemon abuse agency.

Steven’s eyes get wide and he seems happy for the first time since you’ve met him.

Jirachi is the one who turned you into a Pokemon, isn’t she? I won’t try to catch her or ask for a wish since I doubt she’d grant it. I’m more interested in the fact that she’s part Steel type.

Let’s go this afternoon! I’ll clear my schedule, how about I meet you at the north entrance to the cave in an hour.

Oho, seems like Steven is more than willing to take time for himself if he’s excited about something. Is there anything you want to ask of Jirachi yourself when you see her? You assume she’ll be okay with your impromptu visit.

You should tell him how excited his Pokémon are to go cave diving too. They’d like to do this more often!
Can you ask Jirachi if Steven or the Elite Four harbor any wishes?

>>1077485
...I wonder if Jirashi would know if Scott wants to actually be a pokemon? It should probably wait until after you're done talking to the elite four, but even so, if he wants it then we should ask Jirachi what needs to happen to make that happen. And yeah if there are any wishes that the Elite Four have that you can grant with your own power, that would be cool.

Ask Jirachi if she has any contingency plans for if someone manages to get her in a pokeball. You know a group of legendaries that might agree to free her if she can't do it herself with wish magic.

>>1077487
Contingency plans seems like a good thing to discuss with her. We could offer networking so she doesn't have to go outside, shut-in that she is.

>>1077486
Offering to help her grant more wishes to pay back interrupting her nap with Steven seems like a fair thing to offer too.

ask her to take a bath for once jesus christ

>>1077495

First of all, who? second, the lifestyle of legendaries is there perogative!

You should also ask Jirashi if she has any opinions on the whole pokemon rights thing.

On a different note I have a great idea for killing two birds with one stone. They were complaining about needing to fund the PPA, right? How about a fee for keeping pokemon in the PC for long periods of time? Like a monthly fee or something that kicks in after the first month. That would encourage trainers to release pokemon they don't need, while helping to fund the PPA (and other stuff too maybe)

>>1077549

Pigouvian taxes for this and other issues are a fantastic idea!

>Meet up with Steven at Meteor Falls
Steven walks alongside his hulking Metagross, who smashes through Jirachi’s guards, Golbat, Lunatone, and Solrock, with ease. If you had wanted to fight Steven, you would have needed to recruit a bunch of Level 100s, that’s for sure.

Jirachi is upright when you reach the edge of her crater, blinking, but fully aware. Steven holds back until Metagross slides into the pit first, then easily hikes down the shear upper wall in dress shoes. You can admire the guy’s experience. You talk to Jirachi as she allows Steven to test her head with magnets and small hammers.

>Tell her to take a bath
Har har har. A good coating of dust never hurt anyone.

>Ask if she has a plan if she’s ever caught
Oh yeah, it’s happened before, I just wish myself out once I get bored. Works for the PC too cause I stay conscious in there.

>Offer to grant more wishes for her since you woke her up from her nap
I don’t know how many times I have to tell you buddy, you’d know if I was awake. And naw, I think you have enough on your plate, you did your time. Keep being a good friend to others and that’ll be plenty.

>Tell her about your Pokemon rights efforts
Sounds great so far! I’m impressed you managed to squeeze anything out of those guys.

>Speaking of those guys, ask whether she knows what Steven, Scott, and the League want
Jirachi sighs, which makes Steven lurch back for a moment.

Flygon, I know Steven is literally right here, hitting my head with a hammer.

But I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of him or his crew. They basically want everything that you don’t–for things related to Pokemon rights to stay the same. They’re the ones on top, the system suits them, and besides the little issues in their day to day, the status quo is perfect. They’d go to Stetson and get him to control you the moment you pushed too hard.

So you don’t think they’d go for a fee on using the PC?

Sorry bud, I think you’ve reached the end of what they’ll do for you for a long, long time. Hammer boy here is planning to fund your reporting project with his company and claim it as a PR thing.

What about Scott? He seemed like he wanted to be a Pokemon and he was really nice when I talked to him.

Dude, that guy suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Fuck no. I get that you’re friends but damn.

Metagross listens to your whole conversation, but doesn’t comment.

You feel a bit melancholy after you leave Jirachi’s cave. Steven promises that you’ll hear from the League when they get together to draft the legislation needed for the agency, thanks you, and bids you farewell.

Smeargle and Skiddle notice your glum mood over dinner and try to cheer you up with their newly completed art. By the time you’re snuggled into bed, you’re feeling much better.

What would you like to do tomorrow morning?
A. Visit the Friendlies and see how Flareon is doing (include any parting words)
B. Visit Vaporeon for some smooching and more (suggest what)

B! Vaporeon! Talk to her and have sexytimes, but after actively doing something romantic with her (as a performative thing, not cause you have romantic feelings for her, just sexual, of course), to give her the experience and some new context!

A. Nostalgia quest is coming to a close. i feel this choice is best for closure as we come close to the end.

>>1077578
Relax, Flygon. We've accomplished a lot. We've set up the next generation to be well educated on the subject, and established some systems by which they can make their voices heard. That's about as much as can be hoped for, when we're going the peaceful route.

B, we've taken care of pressing issues now. She's been used as breeding stock for a long time, give her some TLC.

A, how are Eevee and her aunt getting along? Anyway, tell her that staying outside the system is the only way she's going to live a full life. Now that you've reached the extent of what the government will agree to, your choices are to keep working on grassroots or to branch into extralegal affairs.

B

>Jirashi says Scott sucks
I don't suppose she's willing to elaborate?
...it isn't because he keeps his badges out when he has sex with pokemon, is it? That's... questionable consent.

>>1077616

Or just a quick primer on the most important and relevant parts of why these people suck in ways I am obviously not noticing.

Oh, in case next update is the last update, I just gotta say that outlook is pessimistic. We made major steps forwards in the fight for pokemon rights in just one year. From now on, even if the Elite Four refuse to talk to you, you can talk to the PPA. It's their job to fight the good fight, so you can help them! The more you help them, the more they'll be willing to listen to you, which means your cause will gain momentum. You can keep doing outreach programs, which will help bring the general populous around towards thinking of pokemon as people who deserve fair treatment. You've got 20 more good years you can put towards this, don't give up.

You will of course need to temper this with safety programs to keep accidents like Houndoom's from happening again, and you might want to figure out some way of protecting trainers that doesn't rely on mind control badges as much. Maybe you should start on the other side of things as well? Some outreach towards wild pokemon populations, to discourage attacking trainers directly, and maybe educate them on what it's like to work under a trainer? That way more pokemon that approach trainers will be amenable to being caught.

>Why does Jirachi think Scott sucks?
The sex thing is a little skeevy now that you think about it, since Pokemon can’t really say no when under the badge effect. Also there’s the fact that he’s made all his money on encouraging Pokemon battles, which is why most Pokemon are captured and exploited. The same logic for the second point applies to the League and Steven.

>You’ve done a lot so far, Jirachi’s outlook was pessimistic
You think Jirachi was trying to temper your expectations a little. It’s true that you’ve made great strides in Pokemon outreach and education, but most of the low hanging fruit is gone now and additional legal efforts will only get more difficult. You’re not going to give up though! This is only the beginning.

>B, visit Vaporeon and do something romantic
To take your mind off things, you recall Vania’s address and Fly over to hide in one of the big pine trees in her backyard. The woman is at work, and after waiting for about half an hour, Vaporeon emerges from a little flap on the porch door and stretches herself in the sun.

Psst Vaporeon, up here!

Flygon! You can come down, Vania isn’t around.

You land on the ground and are a little startled when Vaporeon runs over, purring, and rubs against your leg.

How’s it going?

I’m SO horny. It was kind of a big change going from getting fucked all day to nothing. Not that I’m complaining! I’m really grateful that you talked to Vania and got her to start treating me and the others better, thank you.

No problem. How about I take you on a nice romantic flight to the beach and then we can make out and see where it takes us?

Yes please.

Vaporeon lets you pin her down in the sand and go at your own pace. You stick to tender lovemaking with lots of sweet smooches to contrast her treatment at the daycare and she practically yowls at you to stop teasing and stick your fat cock in. It’s all in good fun of course, and you make sure she’s satisfied before you take her home.

The next update will be the last, what would you like to do?
A. Talk to Smeargle and reminisce
B. Fly around Hoenn and reminisce

>>1077659
A. Talk to Smeargle and reminisce

>>1077659
A, of course.

A and time to finish up

Talk to Smeargle and Skiddle.

And fly a kite.

A, talk to Smeargle. After everything you've been through, all the good you've tried to do for society as a whole, it wouldn't hurt to take some time off to take care of your beautiful family.

>>1077659
Hmm, what about A+B? Has Smeargle gotten a chance to experience flight yet?

A.

>A, talk to Smeargle
You squeeze into the den and make your way to Smeargle’s room. You don’t see or hear your daughter anywhere.

Smeargle’s room is packed with easels in a familiar clutter. The trapdoor on the ceiling is open to allow sweet, fresh air to cut through the smell of drying paint.

Hey Smeargle, where’s Skiddle?

Linoone took her to visit the Friendlies, they’ve been really enjoying spending time with Eevee.

Smeargle is mixing paint in front of her most recent work in progress, which looks to be a scene of you and her cuddled together. You admire it for a while before your gaze drifts to Smeargle’s first painting of you as a Trapinch, sitting by a pile of berries.

You were really cute back then. I know it was a stressful time since you were getting used to being a Pokemon, but you were trying your best to figure it out and you adjusted quick.

Are you saying I’m not cute now? I feel so betrayed.

Smeargle laughs and puts down her paint to leap into your arms so she can plant a kiss on your snout.

You’re even cuter and especially handsome as a Flygon. What brings you around these parts this early in the day? Usually I don’t see you until evening.

I wanted to see my beautiful sweet girlfriend. And…I don’t know, just felt a little sentimental.

You spot a painting of you as Vibrava, soaring across the blue sky with a big toothy smile.

It’s kind of weird, I was trying to Level up and evolve as fast as possible at the time, but now I sorta miss being a Trapinch and a Vibrava.

Back in the good old days when Stetson woke up Groudon.

He used to be such a stinker. We also thought the Friendlies were weird and vaguely evil, which admittedly is an accurate assumption when you meet Gengar first.

Things sure are different. Before I felt more like I was living with a roommate who didn’t like me. Now Espeon and Linoone are a sweet couple and great friends, and we have Skiddle to love and raise. You know I’ve been really happy since we met that night outside the daycare.

Me too. How about I watch you work on this painting, it looks like it’s coming along great.

You distract Smeargle from her work with lots of kisses, but she doesn’t seem to mind.



You have been a Pokemon for 87 days. Thank you for reading a year of Nostalgia Quest!

>>1077701
Godspeed, you big dirt bug.

Moral of the story:
Humans are pokemon with thumbs.

You've accomplished so much Flygon. Your future looks bright.

I'm proud of you, Flygon!
