Naomi turned on the stool, and arched slightly with the feel of Eleyna's hands on her back, her legs parting slightly with her motions, revealing the lack of hair on or above her sex.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Mmm. Um. I don't know, those experienced trainers seemed to act just like the others. They certainly had experience and were very well practiced in the League way of doing things. But they were still used to more civilized lands. I wasn't really thinking of them anyway, but everyone else who showed up thinking it would be just like home and hoping for the chance to catch something new. As for Professor Pine? I've been recording videos and commentary when I could. I don't.. I'm not actually in contact with him, horrible reception away from towns and villages. Maybe I can ask for a connection here."</span>A crease appears between her brows as a few thoughts occur to her around pokeballs, and the way powerful pokemon seem to be aware of each other, their psychic 'weight' on the world. She shakes her head slightly, dismissing the thought for later.<br/><br/>She addressed Lydia.<span style="color: #6495ED">"How much do you really know about Pokemon? The reason I called her a spirit is because though she looked like Suicune, she was taller. Greater. And somehow more. You had to be there to see what she was like, the pain she was in as she was driven to attack. And the feeling of serenity and sorrow as she died and vanished. Technically, she was a Pokemon, I guess. But that's just... the connotation of the word is just too mundane."</span><br/><br/>She sighed happily, the simple touch of Eleyna's hands rubbing her back making her relax. And when Eleyna was done, she followed her actions in rinsing off, and then stepping into the hot spring. She settled near Eleyna in time to see Aisha stepping into the water, the captive Pansage concealing the girl's belly but not anything lower.<br/><br/>She smiled at Aisha's renewed enthusiasm, and then another woman burst in. In a flurry of action, there were two quick splashes, a Houndour leaping headlong into the pool and virtually splashing all of them with the doggy belly flop, and then the Magikarp flailing in the water.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Hey, hey! Easy there."</span>She admonished the two. Despite the distractions, she couldn't help but look the other newcomer over as well.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Uh, hi Susan. I'm Naomi. And a belated hello to you too, Lydia"</span><br/><br/>Under the water, 'Tai lurked, watching and ogling the naked young women, lying along the bottom at the edge of the pool. He was relaxing, at least until the other Pokemon hurled themselves into the water. He reared up, protectively, between Eleyna and Naomi, holding his position while he eyed the other two then settling back into the water.<br/><br/>Naomi reached out and scratched 'Tai behind his fin-ears.<span style="color: #6495ED">"I don't know, ogling is kinda flattering. I remember, uh. 'Tai was being rather playful and snatched my panties from me as I was getting dressed the morning of that one day, you know, the lake and the wild Gyarados and the Milotic? And of course there's not a lot of room on a dinghy, so I'm very sure Jake was peeking up my skirt. It was so embarrassing, but fun too. I decided I didn't really mind anyone looking. Like Steven for that matter, I mean, he is quite buff. Besides, everything that happened after that made not having panties on much of a concern. By the time we got back to camp that evening, I just wanted to dry off and sleep away the bruises. Also.. I have shampoo, and brush, and comb. I've been preparing for this journey for, I don't know, weeks. Devon Corp knew that these isles would be opened up a few months ago, and ended up choosing me as the first of their field researchers to come out here. I'm still not prepared for everything, but I had time to think about what to bring. And an actual budget, between my limited expense account and my personal savings."</span><br/><br/>She was babbling. The relief of being in the warmth of the springs, of lovely company, and of finally being able to sit for an extended period of time, all working to loosen her tongue and her inhibitions.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
