“First things first, let’s get you a towel.” Joy said in a worried tone of voice. “It’s raining like a Squirtle used rain dance out there. You’re completely drenched!”
Reaching a door down the hallway, Jenny opened it, and carefully with Nurse Joy’s help, brought me inside. It was exactly like a room in a doctor's office from my own world. Having a bed for the patient, weird machines I couldn’t be able to tell you the name of, and a door off to the side for a bathroom. It was oddly comforting to see something recognizable.
“Just rest in here, I’ll bring you a towel right away.” Helping Jenny place me so that I was sitting comfortably on the bed, she looked at Jenny with a little anger. “And you!” She said with some accusation in her voice. “Don’t think I don’t know you’re still in the training part of your academy! You’re only twenty! What were you thinking going by yourself in the Viridian Forest to investigate when you’re still training how to deal with certain situations!?” Voice getting slightly loud, she raised a finger up in a scolding manner.
“I heard someone yell for help when I was helping Growlithe increase her water tolerance in the rain.” Jenny said in defense. “I just moved.” Looking away from Nurse Joy’s still angry visage, she looked at me for a second before looking back at her. “Besides…if I hadn’t gone when I did, those three would have done something terrible.”
Face softening, Nurse Joy’s eyes flickered to me for just a moment. “Still.” Voice going gentle, she placed a hand on Jenny’s shoulder. “What would I have told your family if something happened to you? You’re close to my little sister Joy after all. I can’t let you get hurt when you still haven’t become an officer yet.” Smiling at her, she turned around and walked to the door. “I’m going to get that towel.”
After she left, a silence filled the room. Scratching my arm, I looked at Jenny and realized that Nurse Joy may have been right. From what I remember all Officer Jenny’s wore the same uniform. The fact that she was sitting here in casual clothes spoke just how inexperienced she truly was. Of course I think anyone would think she was an officer even without the uniform. They have to take a day off at some point, right?
Watching her stand there looking properly scolded, I decided to break the awkward silence.
“So…you’re not an officer?” I voiced jokingly, causing Jenny to turn and look at me. “I thought all Jenny’s were born officers?”
Smiling a little, she sat down next to me, leaving a distance that I think she thought was appropriate.
“Wouldn’t that be easy.” Jenny sighed. “We still have to go through the proper channels like everyone else, and since there’s currently no Jenny residing in Celadon City, they’re making sure I’m extra trained to help the person in charge over there.” After mentioning the unknown person, she scowled. “Apparently there’s rumors of gambling going on there, and while that’s not too bad, and technically not illegal, there’s also…” Remembering who she was talking to, she shook her head and smiled at me. “It’s nothing. All you have to know is that they’re preparing me for a huge workload.”
“Sounds tough.” Trying to add some reassurance to my tone, I gave her a small smile right back. “But you helped me out. I’m sure you’ll do everything you can to make the Jenny name proud.”
“Yeah.” Jenny muttered so quietly I almost didn’t hear her. “The Jenny name…”
The sound of rain pouring down onto the building along with the beeping sounds that came from the machines were the only things that were heard in the silence. Staring at each other, Jenny suddenly became very aware of my state of dress as her eyes went down to my chest. Growing a blush, her eyes snapped back up to meet mine. Realizing she was caught staring, she looked away. I thought it was funny. I mean, if this really was a reverse world like I guess it was, that means I just caught her ogling me. Looking down at myself I saw that my shirt was clinging to my chest so tightly from the heaviness of the water it absorbed it was almost like a second skin. My nipples were poking out from the coldness of the room and I couldn’t help but grow confused.
“I really don’t get what’s so sexy about a guy’s nipples.” I thought with humor. “Is that what most women think about their own nipples? I don’t know, but women's nipples are sexy for sure. Maybe I’m just biased.” Mentally shrugging, I took a chance to look at Jenny more closely.
I didn’t notice in the darkness of that forest, but her state of wetness was much similar to mine. Her shirt was clinging to her body and the outline of her form was clearly shown. Hips a little wider than her flat stomach, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had at the very least a two pack under that shirt. Breasts looking at least like they were c’s that had an almost too perfectly round shape to them. Seeing as her nipples also poked out, I could clearly tell she wasn't wearing a bra. Having breasts like that with not a hint of sag regardless of wearing a bra or not was something I would think impossible.
“Different world I guess.” Recalling where I was, I acknowledge I may be in a different universe altogether. “Maybe it’s the norm here. I didn’t stare at the other girl's breasts.”
As soon as the thought finished, Nurse Joy returned with towels and something else, and upon seeing Jenny’s blush, with me staring at her, she gave an amused smirk. Walking over to the both of us, we each grabbed a towel and began drying off.
“I also got this for you sweety.” Holding out the other thing she brought, I saw it was a black shirt. “I figured since you’re a man you wouldn’t want to stay dressed like that, so you can go in the bathroom and-” Cutting herself off, she yelled. “W-what are you doing young man!?”
After feeling sufficiently dryer, I immediately went to put aside the towel to peel off my shirt. Gripping the hem of it, I fully pulled it off and was reaching to put on the shirt brought to me when Nurse Joy yelled. Looking at the two women in front of me, their faces were as red as a tomato with their mouths hanging open, just gawking.
“Fuck.” I thought with a deadpan. “I just did one of those stupid airheaded troupes didn’t I?” Watching their eyes move rapidly across my v-line, stomach and chest, lingering there longer than the other places, I held back a laugh. “I guess this confirms the reversed world theory.”
Slowly putting on the shirt, enjoying the attention that I wasn’t used to getting, or at least this amount of blatant want, I smiled at them and spoke up.
“Thanks Nurse Joy.” Watching them snap out of their daze, they both looked away.
“I..uhh…I mean, yes of course.” Nurse Joy said with a cough. “I know you might've gone through something today, however I would suggest you be more aware of your surroundings in the future.”
“Sure.” I agreed.
“Oh I'm abusing the hell out of that.” I couldn't hold back my true feelings in my mind however.
‘Knock Knock’
All of us turned our heads to the door. Cracking it open, several women came into the room wearing officer uniforms along with the Growlithe, and the three would be rapists. I noticed that Growlithe now appeared to be dry while the three criminals along with the officers were still wet. Making sure to have an officer block the door, with one standing along either end of the three, the fourth officer stood at the front and nodded at me.
“Hello young man, we got a call from Nurse Joy that Jenny asked for us.” The woman at the front supplied. “While she explained what she saw when you five came into the center, and we can make a guess as to what happened, could you please explain what went down?”
Nodding my head, I recounted my story of waking up within the forest with no idea of how I got there and discovering that I had some missing pieces of common knowledge, along with the Ekans and what happened after the three girls in the room drove it away. By the end of the tale Jenny was scowling at the three once again, while Nurse Joy looked at me in pity. The three criminals in question however had the faces of people who knew their lives were over. Especially Shia, who looked like she was doing everything she could not to cry.
“I understand. The two named Tila and Nix have been reported with their descriptions a couple times from doing the same thing, but not being stopped during the act. I’m happy it went no further sir.” Nodding her head to me, she looked at Shia. “However this is the first time we’re hearing about her. While she doesn’t have a record of doing anything bad, the fact that she’s the one who committed sexual acts on you is going to give her some time, not as much as the other two from this and their previous crimes, but enough that she won’t be seeing freedom for quite awhile. So feel free to feel safe.”
Now fully crying, I noticed Shia doing her best to hold her breath so that the sounds of her sobs wouldn’t escape. Not being able to feel right about it, I spoke up.
“Wait.” I said before the officers could start leading the women out.
“I can’t help but see something like this happening to a guy in my own world. While what she did was wrong and something you should never do, she was basically threatened with death. Being beat within an inch of your life with your Pokemon taken away and left in a forest is for sure a death sentence in this world. I know a woman in my old world would let a guy go to jail in the same situation, even if he was threatened to do what he did, and a guy in this world would do the same, so why not just give her a break since I was the one she assaulted? I mean, I didn’t hate it since she was the one doing it, she’s cute, it was just the situation that made me not want to go through with anything. Especially not when those ugly bitches were wanting a turn. It must be fate that I was the victim in this case. I really can’t help but see her as an unwilling participant, even if she started to get a little too into it. This whole situation isn’t worth ruining her life when it just started, not when she didn’t want to do it in the first place.” Empathy leading my choice, I spoke up.
“I don’t want to press charges on her.” I stated, pointing at Shia.
A beat of silence.
“What the fuck!?” Tila screamed out in outrage.
“How the hell is that fair!?” Nix shouted right after.
Meanwhile, Shia was looking at me as if I was a deity reborn in Kanto. The pure worship that was in her eyes along with gratefulness was almost too much to look at. The officer quickly sent the two women who were shouting a glare to silence them, to which they snapped their mouths shut with an audible ‘click’. Looking back at me, the female officer looked to study me for a second before speaking.
“Are you sure about this young man?” Speaking slowly, she regarded me seriously. “Crimes against men are taken severely seriously due to the fact that you can’t wield Pokemon to defend yourselves. Since these two have a few rape cases on them already, they will never be able to see the light of day, but I don’t think it’s wise to allow the young woman to face no repercussions, even if it was her fist offense.”
Looking back at the officer, equally as serious, I nodded.
“She really didn’t want to go through with it and was even going to stop them before they threatened her with what’s basically death.” Looking a Shia who was still staring at me, I gave a small smile. “Plus I don’t think she’s ever going to do this again. Right, Shia?”
Focusing back in on the conversation, Shia looked at me, crying heavily, sobs wrecking her body as she finally let her emotions fully out.
“No! I don’t ever want to be involved with anything like this again!” Hiccuping while she talked, she brought up a hand to wipe her eyes. “I just wanted to gain some Pokemon fighting experience and have my Caterpie evolve! I’ve been promising him since I was a kid that I'd help him grow into a handsome Butterfree! I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry! I’msorryI’msorryI’msorryI’msorryI’msorryI’msorryI’msorryI’msorry!” Breaking down, Shia was reduced to a sobbing and mumbling wreck in front of everyone in the room.
“Then just learn from this and pick better companions.” With a gentle tone of voice, I watched as she uncovered her eyes and stared at me. “I don’t think another guy would give you a second chance. Even if it wasn’t your fault to begin with.”
“What the fuck! We didn’t even touch that bastard's dick! Why the hell is he letting her go when she had his cock down her throat!?” Tila screamed in pure rage.
“That's enough out of you!” The officer commanded. “Well then, I guess we’ll take these three to the station. Shia, was it? We’ll need your side of the story. Since that man over there had found it in his heart to let you off without pressing charges after you’re done giving your report you can leave.” Still sobbing, Shia shook her head up and down fast. “Just don’t ever let me hear of you being involved with something like this again. If I do, I’ll make sure you’re in the worst possible cell in the worst prison for giving up the rare chance a man kindly gave you. I don’t think I need to tell you how uncommon that is.” Speaking seriously, the officer's eye flicked to me before going back to rest on Shia.
“I..’hic’..know.” Eyes having never left my form, Shia got down on the ground and kowtowed. “Th-thank you so much! Thank you!”
Waving her off, I watched the officers leave with the one in front telling Jenny that she did a good job. Once everyone was gone, I saw that I was in a room with two women who were looking at me as if I was crazy.
“I guess to them I am.” Fidgeting awkwardly, I waited for what they were going to say
