Chapter 135: Propagation
With things transitioning to casual conversation in the bath, Jason spent some time making things up to Ren by brushing her fur and tail as she lay across his lap post-bath. Meanwhile, sitting on the edge of the bath with her two new friends, Lillie casually fielded question after question, mostly posed by Mallow.
"You're from a different world?" Mallow asked, directing the question to Jason, her brows raised in surprise. She had been confused about why Jason was the only boy who could have sex, and since she had already agreed to become his girlfriend, Lillie felt obliged to inform her about his unique circumstances.
"I am," Jason confirmed, running the brush along the length of Ren's tail, following the contours of her lower back and butt until he reached about halfway down its length.
"Is that why you're so different from other boys? You seem really serious about things," Mallow contended.
"It's because I want to be someone whom others can rely on. That goes doubly for anyone I'm in a relationship with..." Jason explained, gradually acclimating to everything that had happened. He had been passive back in the changing room. But if Mallow and Selene were to come to rely on him as their boyfriend, he would need to be more direct and possibly take the lead in the future.
"Then, is it fine if I join you and Lillie for your Island Challenge?" Mallow questioned plainly, stating, "I don't really have an interest in becoming a Trainer, but as a native Alolan, the Island Challenge is an important rite of passage. If I want people to take me seriously, I need to complete it. But I also don't want to spend years doing so..."
"You're aware that my Island Challenge is going to be more difficult due to my encounter with Tapu Koko, aren't you?" Jason both questioned and reminded.
"Yeah, sure. But, if anything, that gives me more of a reason to tag along with you and Lillie," Mallow responded, reasoning, "That way, I'll be able to tell my future customers that I met and participated in Trials hosted by Alola's Guardian Deities. As long as I can provide evidence, that would be huge for our restaurant's marketing."
"That's a very pragmatic way of looking at things," Jason acknowledged, nodding in approval. Mallow's mentality could have been very toxic in his previous world. But in the world of Pokémon, where people were honest to a fault regarding their wants and desires, he found her forward-thinking opportunism refreshing and responsible.
"Hnnnnnngh...I want to meet Tapu Koko as well..." Selene groaned cutely, biting the nail of her right thumb and furrowing her brows in an expression of vexation. She was the type who enjoyed challenges, but since she and her brother had decided to complete their Island Challenge together, she couldn't accompany Jason as readily as Mallow could.
"I'm almost certain that you will have the opportunity to do so, even if you don't change your current plans..." Jason submitted thoughtfully—a part of him hoping that Selene wouldn't become his girlfriend. He didn't mind going along with her and Mallow's curiosity. In fact, he enjoyed being the focal point of their unbridled exploration. But if he kept investing himself in every relationship that formed around him, he would eventually reach a breaking point—burdening those he cared about most...
"Really? Do you think you could introduce me...?" Selene questioned, her obsidian-black eyes sparkling with expectation.
"Unlikely. But if you ask Hau's grandfather, Kahuna Hala, he might be able to arrange something..." Jason proffered calmly.
"Oh, that's right! Hau's grandpa is the Melemele Island Kahuna! He and Tapu Koko must be good friends...!" Selene acknowledged, rising to her feet and excitedly pumping her fists—illusory flames burning in her eyes. At that point, it was evident to everyone that, rather than simply meeting the fabled Island Guardian, she yearned to challenge both it and Kahuna Hala to a Pokémon battle.
"You should probably wait until after we graduate before asking to meet with him," Lillie contributed, reminding, "If you recall Hau's words, Kahuna Hala and the other Kahunas are occupied preparing for the Alolan League and addressing important issues—like that incident that occurred recently on Treasure Island."
"Oh, right...now that you mention it, he did say something like that, didn't he...?" Selene recalled, sitting back down with her left leg drawn up onto the bath's gold tile perimeter.
"More pressingly, we should get out of the bath soon. If we stay too long, it can damage our hair," Lillie stated, taking the initiative to stand up, Runa cradled in her arms.
"Really? I had no idea," Mallow remarked, grabbing her right-most, grass-like twin tail and running her hands down it like she was squeezing out the excess water. She was very beauty-conscious, but compared to Lillie, she couldn't help feeling like a bit of a bumpkin.
"If you would like, I can show you the products I use to treat my hair and skin. They're not too terribly expensive, and I have extras I can give you—if that's something you're okay with," Lillie offered, causing Mallow's face to light up like the Alolan sun at midday. She hadn't befriended Lillie with the expectation that she would profit from it, but if the latter was offering free product of her own accord, she had no reason to refuse her very rich friend's kindness...

As it was ultimately the reason they had gotten into the bath together, Jason, relaxing in the sitting room with Ren and Runa, wasn't surprised when, shortly after Lillie, Mallow, and Selene returned from drying and attending to their hair, the green-haired Alolan native asked, "So, how do we go about this? Do we just peck each other on the lips? Or do you want to try a Kalosian kiss?"
"Oh! Oh! Kalos kisses are really fun! They're super slimy, but once you get used to them, they make your heart beat like crazy...!" Selene contributed, unabashedly excited.
"Shall I demonstrate how Jason and I usually kiss when it's just the two of us...?" Lillie proposed, her own heart beginning to race at the prospect of making out with Jason in front of her friends.
"That would definitely be helpful..." Mallow confirmed with a nod, having already experienced how adept Lillie was at explaining and demonstrating things. It was by following the latter's example that she was able to make Jason shoot out his semen as fast as he did.
"Very well, then..."
With Ren having already taken Runa from Jason's arms and made room, Lillie didn't hesitate to straddle the latter's lap and link her arms around his neck and shoulders, stunning both Mallow and Selene. Then, with her green eyes glistening, she and Jason shared a tense, passion-filled look before tilting their heads in opposite directions, leaning in, and beginning to make out.
"Whoa..." Selene muttered, both surprised and impressed.
"No kidding..." Mallow appended, her body trembling nervously and her cheeks gaining a ruddy hue. She knew from Lillie's admissions that she and Jason frequently made out, but she wasn't expecting them to be so passionate about it...
"And that's how it's done~" Lillie chimed, separating from Jason's lips, licking her own clean, and beaming at Mallow and Selene with a happy, ear-to-ear smile.
"You two are super cool. Like, seriously..." Selene asserted, sporting a serious expression as she gave Jason and Lillie an unironic thumbs up with her left hand.
"Should I go next...?" Mallow asked, her healthy brown skin gaining a hint of ruddiness and moisture as she began to sweat.
"Bounce...?"
Noticing how uncharacteristically nervous Mallow was, Sweetie bounced over to her and flitted into her hands by spinning the leaves atop her head like a propeller.
"Aww, what's wrong? Are you worried about me, Sweetie? You're so cute and thoughtful~" Mallow pealed happily, raising Sweetie to her face and giving the fruit-like Pokémon an affectionate nuzzle. Bounsweet weren't the most practical Pokémon to choose as a partner, but Mallow really only cared that Sweetie was cute and smelled nice.
"Here's an idea...why don't we shelve the whole kissing and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend thing—at least until we've had the chance to get to know one another?" Jason proffered, rising from the couch with Lillie. His words surprised all three girls, but he was able to smooth things out by saying to Mallow, "I think you and Selene are both very attractive, but I also think we're jumping the gun a bit. We've only known each other for a week, and as Lillie can attest, one of the things I was looking forward to when we enrolled was making friends with other boys..."
"Did you not have friends who were boys before...?" Mallow questioned, genuinely surprised.
"It's complicated," Lillie stated, piquing Mallow's and Selene's curiosities as she added, "It's related to Jason being from another world. I'm afraid I can't go into further detail—not presently, at least."
"Well, alright then...we can put off becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, but I still want to try kissing you..." Mallow asserted, staring at Jason with a determined gaze as she stated, "I didn't get all hot and bothered like this for no reason..."
"Fair enough..." Jason conceded, offering a nod before lowering himself back to the sofa, leaving Mallow to look between Lillie and Selene before passing Sweetie off to the former.
"You must really like this position..." Mallow muttered, carefully straddling Jason before asking, rather candidly, "Is it because it allows your penis to press against our privates...?"
"That's not inaccurate..." Jason confessed, grasping Mallow's side before appending, "But it also allows me to do this..."
Feeling Jason's hands transition from her sides to her butt, Mallow's eyes widened to their limits, her flush deepening.
"Are you ready...?" Jason asked, his gentle tone and patient attentiveness causing Mallow to feel increasingly short of breath. Compared to the last two boys she kissed, Jason seemed a lot more...invested. And the way he looked at her—it was as if he were staring into her soul: calm, patient, and mindful...
"Nn..." Mallow responded, swallowing hard before tilting her head slightly to the side, leaning forward, and parting her lips.
Unlike with Lillie, Jason waited for Mallow to press her lips to his before slowly and carefully reciprocating. He could tell she was nervous, so he let her be in complete control of the pace and intensity of the kiss. As for his hands, while they remained on her pert and springy butt, that was all they did. He didn't fondle, grope, or caress her. Instead, he supported her like he might if they were standing and she had her legs wrapped around his waist...

Though she quickly realized that Jason was leaving her to initiate, Mallow didn't mind as his reciprocation matched her intensity. As Selene has said, his tongue and their mixed saliva were super slimy. But the longer the kiss went on, the more exhilarating it felt—even if her temples were starting to tingle from a lack of oxygen.
"Sheesh...Mallow really goes above and beyond..." Selene noted, directing the hushed observation to Lillie.
"You'll understand when it's your turn..." Lillie stated, glancing at Selene and smiling as she asserted, "Jason is an excellent kisser. I should know. I'm one of the people who helped cultivate his skills..."
"Really? Do you think you could teach me...?" Selene questioned, leaving Lillie momentarily speechless. The former's words made it sound as if she were asking if they could practice kissing together, and she was evidently correct as Selene revealed, "I've kissed a few other girls before, but they always run out of breath just as it starts to get fun."
Regaining her senses, Lillie adopted a slight smile and noted, "It would appear that you greatly enjoy kissing, Selene. Or is my impression off the mark...?"
"I mean, isn't that normal? It feels really nice and makes me feel happy inside. Isn't it the same for you...?" Selene questioned, genuinely curious.
"It certainly does..." Lillie confirmed, directing her smile at Jason as she softly appended, "But, unless he permits me to share them with another, my lips—my everything belong to Jason. Just as he has pledged himself to me..."
Feeling confused, Selene tilted her head nearly forty-five degrees to the side. She was tempted to ask how Jason could belong to Lillie if he were currently kissing Mallow, but she knew she wasn't the best when it came to comprehending complex things. People could be super complicated, so instead of asking something potentially insensitive, she licked her lips and prepared to swap places when Mallow allowed her to have her turn...
