Feast and a Bath

	The sun was lowering from the sky by the time Lyra and her Typhlosion had navigated over Johto's harsh terrain. Looking to the west where Blackthorn city was, she checked her pokegear, paying no mind to her exhaustion.

	"Just a little bit more, Qui. We're close. Can you smell it?"
	The Typhlosion could barely put out a flame, panting like a mad animal he was. Still, he followed his trainer obediently. One year ago he'd have refused to take a step further before being put back into his cozy ball, but a journey with Lyra changed all that.

	"I promised you it would be worth it. Look!"

	They were deep in the mountains between Blackthorn City and Mount Silver, where no roads lead and few trainers had any reason to even go. Right in front of them were springs of warm water, heated by the earth deep below. It was by chance that Lyra had heard rumours of hot springs near the Dragon's Den, the reason why the power-loving dragons would even make their home there. Qui's eyes lit up as he finally had his chance to rest, collapsing by the lakeside on the warm stone to bask.

	Lyra giggled. "Go ahead and relax. You've earned it, I wouldn't have had become Johto Champion without you. I've had my celebration, so now just for my most special fighter... a special celebration."

	After only a brief respite, Lyra set to work on dinner. Qui quickly stopped his snoring in the background to help out, starting the cooking fires and helping to grill that Volcano Burger Meat he had grown to cherish on their very first day together. The sun set over an impressive outdoor spread, a wide assortment of his favourite Passho berries, and juice fermented by a large array of Shuckle just for that purpose. They sat on opposite ends of the mat, both ready to dig in.

	"Eat up, Qui! Or you want me to feed you?"

	 The Volcano Pokemon immediately leaned forward, eyes closed and mouth wide open.
	"Guess I can pamper you today. Here it comes!"

	The Typhlosion greedily lapped up his treat. No surprise, Lyra thought, and he looked so adorable too. He even licked her hands after every helping, taking everything he could get. She munched her own share slowly, most going to the Pokemon that had worked so hard for her journey. Finally, Qui rolled over on his back and lay spread out, satisfied. Lyra had brought just enough. Of course she would, she knew him more than she knew anyone else.

	"Forgetting something, Qui? The hot water's right there!"

	Qui crawled over to the spring and slowly lowered himself, loosing a sigh of relief. He leaned on the sides of the pool, arms spread and gazing upon what was now night sky of shining stars. Lyra went behind him and sat down, letting him rest his head between her thighs.

	"Your shoulders must be aching, with all the Thunderpunches you had to do last week. Her, just relax..."

	Qui yelped a little, but trust in his trainer made him stay still and wait out the pain. Lyra expertly worked her hands on his shoulders, massaging away the tension and strain with the hot spring's aid. Qui sighed, feeling far better than he had ever felt. For a moment he wanted to pull his trainer in and hug her, but it still felt so good... that, and he wouldn't do any rough play like that unless she said it was alright.

	"You want me to join you inside, huh? That's not a bad idea. I'd like a bath too, and I can work with so much more of you."

	Lyra stepped back and slowly began to disrobe. Qui had learned not to look early on, it was impolite. It wasn't right for him to do something like that. Yet, he really wanted to... he wasn't even sure why, either. Her overalls came off first, revealing plain pink panties over her mound. Slowly, very slowly, she slipped off her blouse to show a matching pink bra. Then she turned and with a knowing, mischievous wink, slipped out of her bra and panties, showing herself entirely naked. Much like himself most of the time, thought Qui as he silently thanked that he was allowed to see without being scolded, and got back to soaking himself in the hot spring.

	His trainer slipped into the pool right next to him, lounging in the hot water just like him. The girl sighed and relaxed a while, before turning back to her Typhlosion.

	"Alright, I think it's time we continued. Just hold still..."

	Starting from his right arm, she massaged every inch of muscle she could find. All kinds of aches that Qui didn't even know he had faded away into the water, by the work of Lyra's hands. His left arm, then chest, after which the Pokemon finally pulled her in for an affectionate hug. Lyra returned it with more, a kiss on his lips and nuzzling on his chest.

	"Hey, Qui."

	The Typhlosion purred a little,

	"Want a very, very special reward, my little champion?"

	Under the water, her hands had been playing at his belly, scratching seemingly as usual. He only realised now that they were going lower than they'd ever been before. He licked her face.

	"Alright, then..." Lyra whispered. "Gotcha."

	Those hands had found their mark, rubbing teasingly, easing it out while Qui's face went red blushing. His legs kicked so his lower body rose more in the water, improving Lyra's reach and hastening her fingers.

	"Squeezey, squeezey... oooh. There you are."

	His distinctive red length finally out and erect, Lyra took care to look over it while she played her fingers over it. It was certainly pretty. More importantly, Qui deserved only the best, and she wouldn't fail to bring him to heaven here. The lass held the Volcano Pokemon by his shoulders and leaned him on the side of the pool, using her feet to more forcefully press and rub where she knew he would really, really like it.

	Qui gasped and purred. He didn't expect Lyra to be able to do anything like this. Her feet and toes worked in perfect tandem, never missing even once in their rhythm. It was like nothing before but he felt like it was something he would want to share with her. He licked her face in between gasps for more air, but he was sure it wasn't enough. It had to be something really good, just as great as this.

	"Hmm... maybe my feet are getting tired. Don't worry, I've saved the best for last." Lyra smiled and gazed into her charge's eyes, taking in his excitement. She too felt a quivering itch between her own legs, but she was still more concerned about taking care of Qui's.

	The wet girl tucked her legs behind the large furry Pokemon's back, securing herself as she wrapped her arms around him. Qui watched as she gradually spread lowered her hips, making sure to align herself correctly.

	"Three, two... one."

	She braced herself and brought her body down. She yelped a little as some pain took over. She had fit the tip in and left it there for a few moments, listening to Qui's breathing and soft purring for encouragement to keep going.

	"Ah... feel good, Qui? Sorry it's not going so well just yet. Be patient, okay?"

	In response, Qui put his arms around her, pulling her in for a hug back. Holding back his instinct, he slowly fitted more of himself into Lyra, not minding when she bit a mouthful of that chest tuft he was very proud of.

	"Uuugghhh! That's enough, that's... the whole thing! Lemme rest a while first..."

	Qui occupied himself playing with Lyra's wet hair while she clung to him, gasping and getting used to the length stretching her out from inside. A few moments of this stillness, then she began to move again.

	"Slowly first, alright? It's starting to feel good for me now, too. Ahh..."

	He obeyed, of course. No matter how he felt, Qui would never disobey a request from Lyra. Even if right now he really felt like spinning about and pinning her to the poolside, to thrust mercilessly no matter how much she screamed, he wanted more to see her happy.  So, slowly, he pulled out a little, then went back in again, trying to rub her back the same way she would for him.

	"Really big... so nice and warm, too... want to go faster?"

	Lyra began to sway her hips faster, getting entirely used to how Qui felt from inside. It felt good, and she wanted more. Qui obliged, though carefully, making sure she looked like she was fine before going any faster, licking at her face whenever she stopped moaning for a moment.

	"Think I'm gonna finish soon... wanna do it with me? Hng-AH!"

	The girl hit her peak, her insides spasming in pleasure as her legs hung on even tighter so they wouldn't fling about wildly. Qui's length was pumped harder than ever, and he too let loose a cry and finished. Even in the spring Lyra could feel hot seed squirted into her, payment for her labours as she finally broke loose, lying in the water next to her beloved Typhlosion.

	"And... and that's that, Qui. A special reward for my very special friend."

	Some time later, they finally exited the water. They were to leave for Kanto in a few days, and Lyra had more work ahead to make sure her team was in top condition. It was a bedtime too late to stay up to regularly, she thought as she looked at her pokegear in the tent, but well worth it for today. Snuggling close to Qui next to her, she drifted off to sleep.

	"Goodnight, my special champion."
