First Base to Home Run (Sonia)

[Adolfina von Brauer]

Another day, another bunch of knowledge learned and work accomplished. Adolfina was quite pleased with the things she had accomplished that day. A quick bit of research revealed a number of details regarding her Pokemon. Specifically, with some ideas she was getting, she found that there was simply too many ways her Eevee could evolve. Specifically, the number of methods that it could evolve, and actually be useful, was multiple. This was an issue. Catching more than one of the same Pokemon somewhat bothered her, and, yet, she could fully acknowledge the necessity of doing so if she were to convert some of the concepts she had in mind into realities. Much work would have to be done to see these plans to their fruition, and, even then, they might have fallen into a void of uselessness.

Training and battling would be an arduous task, it seemed.

The young lady hummed lightly to herself in thought as she went through potential methods of multiplying her Eevee stock. There was the choice of going back out and trying to hunt for them, but that was tedious, and it would limit her potential variety due to the number of areas she could hunt in. What were other methods? Buying? She refused to pay money for the assistance of low-bred commoners and other disgusting fools. Moreover, placing a bounty on a Pokemon was just insulting to both parties involved- her and the Pokemon. No, something like that needed a personal touch. Directly buying was out of the question, then. The next option was breeding. What did she have? Nothing capable of doing what was needed! She even verified that online. In other words, she was at a wall. Nothing much to do without something that could breed. At the very least, if she bred two Eevees, she was guaranteed to get another Eevee. At that point, genders were irrelevant, as she could slowly produce more.

The humming turned more to thoughtful grunting to herself. The blonde wore a simple dress of dark red. The sleeves were short and cuffed, reaching halfway to her elbows. The bottom length of the dress reached just past her knees, but what they didn't cover of her legs was covered by knee-high socks of a pure white. Encasing her feet was a pair of black Mary Janes. To finish the doll-like girl's setup was a simple white ribbon in her hair. She was not dressed to impress, though she was certain that the commonplace beasts would be able to appreciate her fashion sense. It was simple, certainly, but undeniably elegant!

With her arms crossed and her eyes half-closed, she continued to half-hum, half-grunt to herself in thoughtful reverie before turning a corner.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

Sonia stretched as she walked down one of the hallways in the commons. She didn't have anything in particular to do today, really. Currently the girl was debating whether to have some fun for the day or to figure out which area to go explore next. Thinking over the latter, the girl recalled her multiple trips to the beach just to find one Pokemon that suited her. It wasn't like the beach was a short way from her dorm either. It was quite far, actually. Making long trips frequently during the week wasn't exactly something she was looking forward to. Did she mind the walk? No. She just didn't like having to go to the same place multiple times for good results. To put it simply, the girl wanted a more concrete way of obtaining Pokemon. Unable to think of anything in that regard, the girl let out a sigh.

Instead, she just continued walking with her face to the ceiling. She was wearing a simple black skirt with white stockings. Above that was a simple white top covered by a white cape that she chose to wore whenever she went out. Her hair was left to fall freely, swaying as she walked. The young girl who didn't stand much above four feet swayed a bit as she walked, humming a little nonsensical tune as she went. Honestly, she couldn't have been paying attention to what was in front of her. It wasn't like anybody would run straight into her of course.

The girl simply wandered the halls hoping that she would think of something before she ran out of hall to travel through. And then. . . she had a breakthrough. Well, more like she ran into something, or someone in this case. Sonia felt something hard hit her head before she waddled back a bit in confusion. It didn't really hurt all that much given the girl's astounding fortitude. Rubbing her head a bit, the girl looked to see what she ran into. It certainly wasn't what she thought it would be. Rather than a wall, it was a young girl; one about her age. More importantly, it was the same girl from the Opening Ceremony and from her Battle Tactics class. A-Ah! Are you okay? Here. Realizing what she had just done, she quickly scrambled back to the other girl and gently grabbed her hand. Slowly she pulled her up afterwards. I suppose I should have watched where I was going. Sorry. She flashed the girl an apologetic smile. Surely she would understand her carelessness, right?

[Adolfina von Brauer]

Adolfina had still lost her mind to her contemplations and calculations. The only thing that snapped her out of that trance of thought was a collision with some sort of wall that should have not existed where it was, considering the building's structure. That was why, in the moments that her body spent falling backwards, her mind went entirely blank. Only one phrase was in her mind- “Why?”- as gravity tugged her back and onto her rear. She managed to brace herself with her arms before falling completely back. Her hind-side throbbed, as did her palms, and she winced while biting back a sound. Someone like her could not let a disgraceful sound of pain out. Fighting back the throbbing's effect on her back, she steeled herself, and her nerves, before opening her eyes and looking up at the perpetrator, the one that grabbed her hand without permission. No. No, no, no. No!

Despite the attempts this other girl made at pulling her up, Adolfina yanked her hand free, almost like one would when forcefully attacked, or perhaps when trying to pull away from fire. She skittered back, like a crab- with surprising skill, considering her dress' length- before managing to rise up. Quickly, and forcefully, she dusted herself off before thrusting her hand into the space before her, her index finger pointing at this person who had not only blocked her path, but had gone so far as to touch her with neither permission nor a degree of willingness to be touched even displayed! What manner of heathen was this!?

”You 'suppose' you should have watched what you were doing? What manner of nonchalance is that?” No, Adolfina, it's “nonsense”. Stop trying to sound smart. With cheeks stained red from a combination of anger and shame at having been seen on the floor, the girl fixed this. . . mongrel with a stare. ”And then to go forth and touch me inappropriately! Who do you think you are?!” While the words certainly had a double meaning that was drastically off from the situation, they did, still, serve appropriately, when considering all the details.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

Before Sonia could manage to pull the girl up, or even firmly grasp her hand for that matter, she felt the small hand jerk back with quite a bit of intensity behind it. Sonia blinked; confused as to this girl's thoughts and actions. Rather than getting up on the spot, she seemed to crab-walk back before picking herself up and dusting off. It was honestly kind of impressive watching it happen. Sonia's curious yet innocent expression never changed even after the girl dusted herself off and pointed at her in such a menacing way.

Then this young blonde girl threw some harsh words. Words that Sonia didn't even recognized as "harsh." All she saw was that the girl was probably a bit embarrassed judging by how red her face had gotten. Nonchalant. . .? Chalant. . .Chandelier. . .Chandelure. She blinked before scrunching her face as she thought over the confusing word. I-I'm not a Chandelure! This girl must have been extremely confused if she thought she was a Chandelure. Either she really hurt her head from that collision or she simply didn't know what a Chandelure was. That was what Sonia thought, anyway. Of course, there seemed to be more concerning things.

More importantly, I really am sorry. You seem to be a bit embarrassed, but don't worry! It's all my fault! She was trying to cheer the girl up now by placing the blame on herself. Smooth. Sonia didn't want her first social encounter in school to be a negative one. She didn't want any of them to be negative really. But according to what the girl said, she had done something terrible. At least, she assumed so hearing that she had touched the other girl inappropriately. Had that been why she moved her hand away so quickly? Perhaps it was customary that holding hands was considered much more personal where she was from. Realizing her mistake, Sonia's face got a bit red as she realized she may have shamed this girl at such a young age. I-I'm sorry. I didn't realize I had shamed you. But don't worry! Returning to a look full of confidence and pride, the girl took a deep breath. I'll make you my wife and everything will be fixed! Smooth. That could have been the only way to describe it. Well, that and completely off-course if one wanted to be completely blunt about it.

[Adolfina von Brauer]

This girl somehow arrived at the conclusion that Adolfina had called her a Chandelure. What was a Chandelure, even? A Pokemon? Shaped like a chandelier, perhaps? How this girl somehow arrived at that conclusion. . . the golden-eyed maiden did not want to know. If this girl had been a Pokemon, though, she would have definitely captured her on the spot and thoroughly disciplined her for such a display of arrogance and rudeness! Never mind the fact that Adolfina was currently displaying such traits. Never mind those things at all. First, this stranger dared to say that she had embarrassed Adolfina. Then? Then she went on to admit that she had shamed her. Good. She wasn't as idiotic as she- . . . no, she was. Where did the idea of marrying come from? How? Why? This. . . person, if they could even be called that, was clearly well beyond the realms of being saved. She was being made a fool of! Her anger had reached the point of its climax!

”Do you think before you speak, you ignoranus?!” Way to go, Adolfina. ”Why would two girls get married?! Why would I marry a stranger that shoved me down?!” Punching was out of the question. It was inelegant. Slapping was acceptable, but it would likely hurt her palm. Perhaps even make it blister. She would never use her head to assault a person, as the face was easily the most noticeable plain for blemishes. No, all of these were unacceptable. To punish this lowly whelp, she needed to utilize something else, something that would not be tarnished as easily, or as easily noticeable if dirtied. That was when it hit her. Her shoe would do nicely. Namely, in the nature of a kick. However, her dress limited her movement in the form of revealing anything, should she try a higher kick. Plus, raising one's leg was not very ladylike. Therefore, the most acceptable form of violence to be delivered upon this mongrel's body was her shin.

”You take me for a fool!” She finally declared before stepping in and kicking the stranger in her shin. Zero mercy!

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

Sonia had thought that she had fixed everything rather simply and found her first wife. She was beginning to question if that was the case or not. Ignore-anus? Sonia wasn't even about to try and figure out what that meant, nor was she going to ask. As for the second question, she had a simple answer. Why not? You'd make a cute wife. She smiled, believing that her answer could only have gone well. Though, this girl seemed to still be hung up on the whole "pushing her down and likely taking her hand virginity."

She could understand why she may have been a bit annoyed with her in that case. Then with one more statement, the girl kicked Sonia in the shin without any bit of mercy. Uu. Looking down, Sonia blinked before looking back to the blonde girl with a puzzled look. Is that a no? Though a kick like that would have normally hurt someone quite a bit, Sonia's exceptionally high pain tolerance prevented anything more than a small noise. This tacked along with the fact that she was completely oblivious to this girl's animosity towards her at the moment made for little more than confusion as to whether she was going to accept her marriage proposal.

[Adolfina von Brauer]

There was something wrong with this girl! Sh-she was complimenting out of nowhere, and it was highly inappropriate after talking about getting married! What was with this girl!? She was messed up in the head! Some kind of special returdation! On top of that, she was stupidly strong! Adolfina had put all of her meager strength into the kick that slammed into this weirdo's shin, and all that came from her was a slight grunt. Her primary response was questioning whether or not the marriage was fine. What. . . what was with this person? She was insane. She was stupid. She was stupidly strong. The blonde was actually a little afraid of this person. Someone with such skewed values and strength was ridiculous and a threat.

”It's a no.” She, as calmly as possible, responded. She needed to remain calm. Turning tail would have been shameless. And she was not so merciful to leave this matter without some form of compensation. How could she punish this fool? That was the question that plagued her mind. For a few moments, she stood there, just staring at that strange little heathen. How? What form of repayment could there be? It bothered her to no end. She couldn't let it lie.

”I expect compensation for the shame you've given me.” She calmly declared, no longer seeing a point in dancing around the point. Directness was sometimes necessary with lower beings. This seemed to be one of those occasions.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

And then just like that, Sonia was rejected. The first of many, probably. That still didn't stop her from getting a little down as a result. Aww. She was visibly saddened by this. The start of her rise to power would have to wait a bit it seemed. But now that Sonia thought about it, this girl seemed a bit strange to her. She was very loud and actually seemed somewhat angry, unless she was just like this all the time. That seemed to be the most likely case. Honestly, it was a little funny to watch. If she was always like this, did that mean she never laughed or smiled? Suddenly, Sonia had the curious thought as to what she would look like if she was smiling or laughing. Too cute, though clearly not fitting this girl at all from what she had seen.

But then, the girl proposed her own idea. One of "compensation." Well, I figured by taking you as a wife and impregnating you, that would make up for my mistakes. I guess you want something else? Sonia couldn't fathom what this girl could possibly want otherwise. She scratched her head for a moment. I'm not quite sure what would make up for me stealing your virginity. Well, whatever it is that you want of me, I'll do it to the best of my ability. You can count on me, my princess. Smooth. Just, smooth. With a confident smile, the girl bowed in the other girl's service, hoping that she would accept her help wherever needed. And hey, maybe she would change her mind about the marriage?

[Adolfina von Brauer]

This human, this girl- honestly, Adolfina wasn't even entirely sure if this person was really a girl. There was no way this could be a normal girl. Talking of marrying, impregnating, and other things, were all ridiculous! . . . what was impregnation? Virginity, princesses, other nonsense all came from this person. Honestly, it was difficult to even maintain a semi-neutral air about her. She was in turmoil on the inside. This girl, this lunatic, was wrong. Whatever. She needed to discard all the oddities this person was throwing out. How could she best utilize this fool to benefit herself? That was the ultimate question. She went over all the issues she had, but there seemed to be absolutely nothin- . . . wait a moment. There was something even this fool could assist her with! And it was even within the boundaries of being acceptable on a level of personal standards.

”You. Take them out.” She bluntly demanded without any degree of explanation at first, slowly crossing her arms and regaining an air that could almost be considered elegant. Perhaps it could have been seen that way, if one were to entirely neglect the earlier violence she was displaying without hesitation. ”Your Pokemon. Take them out.” She repeated, with more detail, as she stared at this “girl”. Then, she finally smiled. It was slight, but definitely there. Perhaps she would get something out of this, after all? Something to rectify the few issues that were outside of her capabilities?

It would certainly be nice.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

Surely that princess line had gone over well, right? She had practiced that one back at home after all. Her father had said that it was always a killer for him. Of course, the first thing that the girl in return said seemed to mean something happened. T-Take them out? Sonia's face got a bit red as she averted her gaze. Did those lines work too well? Could she already be so overflowing with manliness that she could make girls fall for her with a single line? No. She couldn't! She wasn't ready for such a responsibility! What if she accidentally said something too powerful to one of the wardens, or even one of the teachers! She didn't want to get them fired for indecent relations with her! Calming herself down, Sonia decided that she was simply overreacting a bit. For now she would comply with this girl's request and take out. . . oh. As it would seem, this blonde girl was referring to her Pokemon. That made things a bit better honestly, considering that they were in the middle of the hallway.

Well, alright. Calling out her Pokemon, the girl released all of the Pokeballs she was carrying with her. Out came a Lairon, a Breloom, a Growlithe, a Larvitar, a Totodile, and a Clauncher. It was a sizable fleet, and not too bad for a new student either. All of the Pokemon looked at their trainer curiously, then to the new girl. Sonia simply remained silent. She couldn't tell what this girl might have wanted from her or her Pokemon. Rather than ask, she simply waited for the girl to explain it herself.

[Adolfina von Brauer]

This girl seemed to come up with something odd. It was a good thing that Adolfina had made sure to specify what she meant- that she wanted Pokemon to come out- lest some strange and unusual thing had occurred out there in public. When the criminally insane girl produced a small group of Pokemon, the girl observed, and a few things clicked together. The “Field” egg group had been one that the girl paid especially close attention to during her research. So, naturally, there was a degree of clarity she had on what would work when breeding with an Eevee.

That Growlithe, depending on the gender, would be able to work just fine together with her Eevee. And if they produced an Eevee egg, specifically one that made a female Eevee, then she would have all she needed! However, she was not without mercy. An act like that would also have needed to pay off for this. . . person, as well. Even if she likely didn't deserve it. That was when she spotted the Larvitar. It was in the “Monster” group. She only briefly looked over other groups, but she recognized that particular species after becoming curious. Her Kangaskhan would potentially be able to work with it. Considering all this, the girl stared at the. . . other “girl” before her. Then, she pointed to the Growlithe.

”Female?” She asked, finger redirecting and pointing at the Larvitar. ”Male?” She tilted her head to the side slightly. She figured it was best to keep things simple for the time being. Too much, and she might have overloaded this creature's brain.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

Sonia watched as the girl looked over the Pokemon that she had sent out. Just what was she looking for, anyway? Did she perhaps want one of these Pokemon for herself? That likely wouldn't have gone over well if that was the case. As much as she wanted to help this girl, she wasn't about to hand over her Pokemon to her. But as the girl spoke, she got a question she wasn't expecting in the least. . . .Male and Female? Blinking, she knew what she was referring to. What was she getting at with this though? Actually, to be honest, she didn't actually know the genders of those two Pokemon. But she wasn't about to just tell this girl that she didn't know. After all, it wasn't hard to find out. Uhh. . . lemme just. . . check. She was actually about to do this. Wonderful.

With a moment of hesitation, Sonia got down and began to "check over" her two Pokemon that were pointed out, much to their explicit confusion and scrambling. Whew. That's done. The two Pokemon remained sorely confused by their trainer for a brief period. Yes. My Larvitar is male and my Growlithe is female. Did you have something in mind? Sonia knew that she most certainly did, given that she had pointed out both with a specific gender rather than asking what gender they were. Sonia could think of a few reasons she was asking, but rather than assuming, she awaited the other girl's plan.

[Adolfina von Brauer]

Wait. What? This girl was- . . . nope. Adolfina looked away as the sounds of confusion and complaints came from the Pokemon. This person was off. Severely off! Completely and utterly off! How could someone just do something like that in public?! Shameless! Indecent! What was wrong with it!? When the notation of finality was finally given, the blonde relaxed and looked back. Apparently, even the Pokemon were disturbed at the events. Rightly so, all considered. It was good to know that it wasn't just her that felt that way about this mongrel. Still, everything was stacking up quite nicely. Now, it was time to declare where this was heading.

”We're going to make babies.” She calmly dictated, letting it sink in for a moment before reaching and retracting two balls. One produced a Kangaskhan, and the other a Eevee. While the Eevee was, naturally, small, the Kangaskhan stood taller than either of the girls- almost by two-fold, for Adolfina. The girl's gaze was direct and focused on the creature before her. ”They match egg groups, and have opposite genders- my Eevee and your Growlithe and my Kangaskhan and your Larvitar, I mean. I propose a mutually-beneficial agreement, a breeding contract between these two couples, to provide us both with what we can use. For the Growlithe and Eevee couple, you could have any Growlithe eggs produced, while I could keep any Eevee eggs. For the Kangaskhan and Larvitar, you could have one of the Kangaskhan eggs, and I could take a Larvitar egg, if one came about. We both stand to gain more Pokemon from this. I don't see a reason why it's not a good deal for you.” She concluded, trying to make a solid argument from the get-go. It was compensation for her own mistakes, after all, so, morally, she was obligated to. However, to have free breeding with another student's Pokemon would present a larger team to work with. It should have been at least marginally interesting for this. . . person.

[Sonia Strugatskaya]

The girl's answer came pretty shortly after that. Again, the answer took her off guard. W-Wait, with my Pokemon? So Sonia wasn't good enough but her Pokemon were? What kind of person was this? Plus were Pokemon and humans even compatible like that anyway? She wasn't about to find out. Of course, before she said anything to possible cause more misunderstandings, the other girl clarified what she was getting at a bit more. O-Oh. I see. Ehehe. Suddenly, Sonia was very much relieved about this situation.

From what she was saying, this girl wanted to breed some of her Pokemon with some of Sonia's. In other words, making more Pokemon through their use. But the thing that really got Sonia was the fact that she would be benefiting out of this as well. Was this really a "compensation" to this girl? After she did such an awful thing? But. . . is this really okay? This seems a bit tame for me having done something awful to you. Not that she was complaining of course. Sonia simply wasn't comfortable getting off of a punishment she deserved for less. That being said, if this is what you wish to do, I am all for it. Count me in. With a nod, she looked down at the two Pokemon in question. Surely they wouldn't have any issues with these plans, right?

[Adolfina von Brauer]

Frankly, she had absolutely zero interest in helping this person out. However, Adolfina was fully aware that a business agreement required gains on both sides. And, given that mating was not guaranteed to produce a female Eevee, or even an Eevee at all, she would likely require several of these sessions over. If this girl felt that she was gaining from it, then it meant that there was a reason for her to agree- in other words, it legitimately “perpetuated” the process until Adolfina got what she wanted. This girl was free to think what she wanted, but it was ultimately all calculated for the sake of the blonde's benefit.

”You have something a need. I'm making you give it.” She summarized things simply. Then, turning on her heel, she returned the two Pokemon to their balls before looking over her shoulder at that. . . person. ”We're officially entering an agreement. Given that breeding takes time, I would like to get started sooner rather than later. We may have to do it more than once to produce good results, so the sooner we get started, the sooner we can do it again.” She explained before promptly heading away and towards the breeding center. Things might have gotten a little rocky, but, for the first time since the collision, things were looking up.
