"If you fall, I'm going to be a pancake," Brandy said as she helped squeeze Calcine's hands into her skin. "I hope you still love me when I can slide under doors."

"I'm not going to fall," Calcine said as she massaged Brandy's breasts. Her hands were so hot they glowed, and sweat dripped off her body as she tried to steady herself. Collie had let Calcine out of her shell eventually, but she'd wrapped Calcine in a content hug that nobody had been able to pry her out of yet. Sparky, not one to let defeat stop her, had climbed atop Collie and was riding atop her, legs kicking the shell as she rocked back and forth. That hadn't been too bad, but Morgan wasn't about to pass up a good perch, so she'd found her way up there and wasn't letting her comfort Pincurchin go anywhere. Milo was laid out on her lap, getting the clawed butt massage of her lifetime while the white coral of Bitty was wrapped around her chest like a corset, the whispy Corsola acting as Morgan's cloak. Nibbles and Chew had joined in purely on the principle that if someone was causing trouble, they wanted in on it. 

They were riotously noisy up there, and Calcine did her best to ignore them calmly. Danièle had positioned herself as the support, holding up Calcine's chest with both hands. She'd last about a second with all that weight, and her legs were already shaking from getting to squeeze Carkol titty, but nobody had told her to stop because Danièle deserved to have a nice time. 

"You know I can shoot them all off," Adrianna pointed a finger at the top of the pile and closed one eye. "Or just the ones you don't like?" 

"Tempting, but I'm fine." Calcine smiled, "It's a good practice. I'll carry the whole team on my back when I evolve to a Coalossal."

Calcine meant that literally, but Brandy did not doubt that a fully powered Calcine would be a force of nature Sparky and Morgan couldn't match up to yet, and not just on the battlefield. Only Sparky had gotten to enjoy some alone time with her; it'd hopefully be Brandy's turn next, and she had plans. Plans that wouldn't survive first contact with the mating press, but that didn't stop Brandy from dreaming. 

"She's thinking about Coalossal dick," Adrianna said. With one arm around Brandy, she provided the water for Calcine at request while they recharged her Steam Engine and also a wonderfully firm shoulder for Brandy to nuzzle into while she let the energy build up. Brandy tried to look up at Adrianna with an accusing stare, but all that got her was a tap on the nose. "I saw your attention drift off there. Don't you dare lie to me, sweetheart."

"You're not exactly Psychic. We're all thinking about Coalossal dick!" Sparky called down from the lady-pile. "How can you not? Calcine's the hottest Pokémon in the world. We all thirst."

"I don't, though her butt is fantastic." Morgan sighed contently, extracting a few more squeaks from Milo as her claws dug in. "Hey, Calcine, Spikemuth is a Dark Town. I should take you on a date there."

Brandy's fire-infused heart skipped a beat. Morgan had been setting herself apart from the team for a while. For her to offer up a date like this was huge. It was Calcine's choice to accept, but that didn't mean Brandy couldn't implore a bit with her eyes. Calcine snorted when she saw Brandy's pleading stare and rolled her shoulders, causing a host of outraged cries from all the limpets she'd picked up. 

"I'll pick a restaurant, you pick a show?" Calcine said. "That way, we both get to contribute."

"Absolutely not," Morgan clucked. "I am going to do all the work; you simply have to enjoy it."

From the look on Calcine's face, that was more of a punishment than a reward. Brandy squeezed Calcine's hands, feeling the warmth flowing between them as Calcine flushed another wave of heat into Brandy. It just felt nice, like a warm bath, relaxing muscles and chasing away the sleepiness that'd been creeping up on her.

"You do plenty for me," Brandy said with a smile. "Let Morgan treat you."

"Well, I'm doing all the work in bed then," Calcine whispered. 

"I heard that!" Morgan cried. "You're going to eat those words."

"Not all she's going to eat," Sparky cackled, "Though be warned, Morgan, Calcine never just gives a tip at the end as thanks. It's always the full package."

Brandy didn't need to get in between this. She was the trainer, but sometimes, being the trainer was knowing when any mediation would just make things worse. They could fight it out on their date. If Brandy knew her partners, Morgan would get distracted, and Calcine would roll over her like an affectionate bulldozer. As long as they both returned smiling, it didn't need meddling. 

Instead, she just enjoyed the stamina flowing back into her body from her Steam Engine. Though it made her feel a bit unusual, her heart thrummed like she'd been pounding energy drinks all day, and her muscles ached to be used. Usually, drawing on the Steam Engine's stamina didn't feel like that, so something was clearly different. Maybe it was because they were gassing her up when she was so low on energy. Brandy had always just assumed her Steam Engine heart replenished her stamina, refilling the tank back up so she'd have infinite stamina as long as she had heat and water, but this odd feeling was a strong hint it wasn't that perfect. 

Maybe she'd drawn on it too much, or maybe there was a trick to it she'd missed. She'd have to be careful.

"So," Brandy said, gently pushing back Calcine's hands. Calcine offered her an open palm, and Brandy took it to hoist herself up, Adrianna's tail coiling around her legs once she was up. "The big final fight. Monique, Tamsin, and whatever's left out there. I know Nibbles and Chew are in."

"Yeah, we are!" Nibbles cheered as Chew gnawed a hair tentacle. "Monique makes sure all the humans are worn out. About time she got a taste of her own medicine. We're going to wear her out."

Brandy blew them a kiss, and Chew caught it and ate it, to Nibble's mock horror. 

"Any other volunteers? Milo, Bitty?" 

"Milo needs a nap," Morgan smirked. "I went a little firm on her. But I'm sure Bitty would be happy to stay with me." 

"I'd like that, Morgan's soft," Bitty said, her pale red eyes blinking as she rested her head on Morgan's shoulder. "And she treats me nicely."

The Corsola would be helpful; she had a lot of strong zoning Ghost moves that'd let them stop Monique from bringing too much force to bear on one point. 

"Collie?" 

Collie was just making a soft, whistling snoring noise, and Calcine rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. 

"She's attached to me," Calcine said, "So I guess she's got to be in the fight, even if she's asleep. If she wakes up, I'll try convincing her to help."

That could go wrong, but it was the best they could do. 

"Danièle," Brandy said to the Magikarp, still holding up Calcine's chest like it'd do anything if she fell. "Got a special job for you."

"Um, I can't fight!" the Magikarp squeaked. "Not against Monique and Tamsin! I wouldn't last a second."

"Vital job anyway." Brandy rolled the words in her throat as she approached, and putting a hand under Danièle's chin, she raised her head for a kiss. Danièle's eyes fluttered closed, her cheeks redder than the scales dappled on her cheeks. "So cute. Everyone deserves one of those."

With two hands under Danièle's armpits, Brandy pulled Danièle out from supporting Calcine and held her up to the Carkol. Calcine planted a warm kiss on Danièle's lips. Then it was simply a matter of ensuring everyone got a kiss off her until Danièle was limp as a dishrag and didn't even squeak when Chew bit her bottom lip and gave it a tug. By the time Brandy got to the last Pokémon, Adrianna, Danièle was hyperventilating. 

"Hey, sweetheart," Adrianna said, splashing a little water on Danièle's face. "I've had a lovely time today. Wouldn't have been possible without you letting us know these fine trainers would be here."

"Just doing my best," Danièle said in a tiny voice. "It's nothing."

"It's been everything to us." Adrianna smiled, and she leaned in to take her kiss. With a brush back of Danièle's hair, a cute peck used the water in her hands to style it back into two neat long strands over Danièle's shoulders. "You give a lot, so it's about time we gave some back."

Adrianna pushed Danièle back into Brandy's arms and then carefully readjusted the Magikarp's crown. "Let's get her a seat overlooking the fight. She can watch us all go into battle, and once we're victorious, she can have her pick of the field."

"That's too much!"

"Anyone not want to take part?" Brandy asked, and nobody still awake objected. Even Adrianna gave Brandy a little curtsey. "Then it's agreed. We're all going to fight for Captain Danièle."

"Monique's going to kill me."

"Oh, sweetheart," Adrianna grinned. "If we win, you can ask for Monique to do a lot nicer things than that."

"That'd still kill me." Danièle wheezed. But she was already smiling at the thought of it. 

United in getting a Magikarp laid? Now, that was a banner worth fighting under.
