After learning that Kazuki would be setting off the next day, Delia began to prepare herself as soon as night fell.
Once the lights were out, Delia, dressed in a sheer nightgown that left little to the imagination, tiptoed into Kazuki's room. The fabric clung to her curves, her nipples visibly hard under the thin material.
Upon entering, her face flushed, and she exchanged a shy smile with Kazuki before eagerly climbing on top of him, her hands already working to free his cock from his pants.
"Mmm, Kazuki… I'm going to miss you so much," she whispered, her voice dripping with desire as she lowered herself onto him, taking him deep inside her.
…
Normally, after each session, Delia would return to her own room.
But today, she had indulged too much and was utterly exhausted. She decided to break another boundary, not caring about the risk of being discovered, and snuggled up to Kazuki as they drifted off to sleep together, her body still trembling from the intensity of their lovemaking.
Despite the wild night, Kazuki woke up early the next morning, full of energy.
Delia, still half-asleep, looked at Kazuki beside her and immediately woke up to help him get dressed.
Once he was ready, Delia realized she was still in Kazuki's room, and the sheer nightgown she had worn the night before had been torn during their passionate encounter.
Blushing, she turned her head away and whispered, "Kazuki, I'll go get dressed and make you breakfast."
With that, she slowly got up and tiptoed to the door, cautiously peeking out before scurrying away with her legs tightly pressed together, her thighs still slick with their combined fluids.
Of course, in the original timeline, Ash would still be fast asleep on this day.
And now, naturally, he was. Moreover, Ash wouldn't be receiving his starter Pokémon this year.
Delia had told Ash that the family's finances were tight this year and that he should wait until next year to begin his journey.
Seeing his mother busy taking care of Kazuki, their family's benefactor, Ash understood and agreed to set off the following year.
With Ash's journey delayed by a year, Kazuki had perfectly taken over Ash's script.
After breakfast, Kazuki prepared to embark on his path to becoming a Pokémon Master.
It was only then that Ash groggily woke up and suddenly remembered that today was the day Kazuki would visit the Pokémon Research Lab.
Still in his pajamas, Ash rushed out in a flurry.
"Kazuki! Are you going to get your starter Pokémon today?"
Ash pushed open the door and saw his mother sitting close to Kazuki, her hand resting on his thigh.
Though it felt a bit odd, the clueless Ash was too focused on Pokémon to notice the special relationship between his mother and Kazuki.
"Kazuki, you have to choose Bulbasaur! It's great for battles in the forest! No, wait—Charmander is even better!"
Ash rambled on and on, but in the end, he could only look at Kazuki with envy. "Kazuki, I have a job interview today, so I probably won't be able to watch you choose your Pokémon!"
"But! I'll definitely follow your example, study hard about Pokémon, and start my journey as a Trainer soon!"
Kazuki had plundered Ash's script, so in the original timeline, Ash would naturally be occupied with other tasks.
He could only watch as Kazuki chose his starter Pokémon and met his future travel companions.
However, being a straightforward guy, Ash was more concerned about Pokémon than relationships.
Perhaps, with his journey delayed, they might cross paths in a future tournament.
"Alright, Ash! Go change your clothes and head to your interview!" Delia, who was currently being held by Kazuki, didn't dare move too much and could only urge Ash to get ready.
Once Ash had run off, Delia clung to Kazuki again. "Ash will be staying at his workplace while he learns about Pokémon!"
"You go ahead, and once I've sorted out my work, I'll come find you and travel with you!"
Kazuki pinched Delia's cheek. "You're really going to miss me that much?"
"Of course! Are you worried I'll get in the way of you flirting with other girls on your journey?"
"Don't worry! I'm not a little girl anymore. When you're with them, I'll obediently wait outside the door for you!" Delia explained with a hint of jealousy.
"Wait outside? Won't you come in and guide the newcomers?"
"Oh, you're so bad!" Delia was delighted by this and happily straightened Kazuki's clothes. "Alright, go get your starter Pokémon! Don't be late, or you might miss out on a strong one!"
"I'll get dressed and come see you off!"
After a passionate kiss, Kazuki headed out toward the research lab.
…
Professor Oak's lab, which housed many Pokémon, required a lot of land and was located on the outskirts of Pallet Town.
As Kazuki arrived at the large research facility, he couldn't help but marvel. "This place is big enough to hold thirty Tauros! That old man Oak sure is rich!"
As soon as Kazuki stepped into the lab, a group of cheerleaders in short skirts appeared at the entrance. During a practice kick, their pink panties were clearly visible.
Without a second thought, Kazuki knew this was the work of Gary, the spiky-haired rival, who had hired them as his entourage.
Kazuki chuckled and walked into the lab.
Professor Oak, who was making coffee, was surprised to see Kazuki. "Oh! It's you, Kazuki! You're here so early! Such dedication!"
Kazuki had already become familiar with Oak through Ash, and with his extensive knowledge of Pokémon, Oak held him in high regard.
[Ding! Perfect Main Mission—Never be late has been completed. Reward has been issued!]
As Kazuki greeted Oak, the mission was naturally completed.
However, the 50% resistance to electric attacks didn't feel particularly tangible to Kazuki.
After shaking his shoulders, he checked the new mission.
[Perfect Main Mission: Obtain Pikachu and tame it!]
[Mission Reward: Pikachu's exclusive item—Special Grade Light Ball, permanently increases Attack and Special Attack!]
Kazuki was familiar with Pikachu's exclusive item, the Light Ball. In battle, it doubles Attack and Special Attack, and outside of battle, it allows Pikachu to learn the Electric-type move Volt Tackle when breeding.
But this Special Grade Light Ball permanently increased Attack and Special Attack, which was a pleasant surprise for Kazuki.
Even without the mission prompt, Kazuki would have chosen Pikachu, as it had the highest potential among the four starters.
Now, with the added mission reward, Kazuki was even more determined.
As Kazuki entered the lab, Gary, still in his pajamas, rubbed his eyes and came down from the second floor.
"Grandpa, I'm not even awake yet! Why is it so noisy?"
While other rookie Trainers had to wait for their scheduled time, Gary could just sleep in the lab and always be the first to choose the best starter Pokémon.
Gary, still half-asleep, saw Kazuki and immediately perked up. He quickly ran back to his room, changed into his clothes at lightning speed, and returned with a haughty expression.
"Ha, so you're Kazuki, the one staying at Ash's house!"
"You're definitely more diligent than that late king Ash!"
"Good, someone as hardworking as you is worthy of being my rival!"
"After all, only through effort will you truly understand the gap between you and me! Hahaha…"
Gary's chuunibyou speech was something Kazuki didn't want to engage with, but just then, a crisp system notification sounded in his ears.
[Ding…]
