Fit to Fight (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 373)

Much as Brandy was excited about the pair's date, she had clarified the illegal part of it all. It turned out the "illegality" was more of a technicality; matches held here wouldn't count toward any official Poké-dex rankings. It wasn't banned so much as non-sanctioned, nothing that would get the Rangers on your butt in the unfun and unsexy way.

Still, it sounded like a blast. With Dani still sleepy, Brandy was happy to dangle the Magikarp off one arm and Sparky off the other as they f...

Pre-Date Tremors (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 372)

Reena had stepped outside to thank them for handling the deliveries and, perhaps more importantly, to see if she could coax any information from Brandy about who might be showing up. There was a lingering sense that she'd been treated like a booty call. Still, considering the table that had been trashed by Brandy's team, it seemed only fair Reena got to have a little fun at their expense. As an added bonus, Reena had offered them the use of the spare rooms upstairs, letting them stay in comfo...

Stomach Bug'd!

I'm a little poorly, trying to get over it! Will try not let it slip the schedule too much, but just wanted to let you know if releases get a bit messy. Doc says it's nothing serious, so don't worry there!

Hot To Go (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 371)

Dani was lying across the booth seat like a plush offering, basking in the attention, a soft smile on her flushed face as she watched Brandy with dreamy eyes. Brandy had one hand propping her head up and the other carefully tilting a tiny ceramic cup to refill her makeshift navel reservoir. She leaned in and took her first sip slowly, lips pursed gently to draw up the lukewarm coffee without spilling. Dani let out a surprised giggle at the sensation, her stomach fluttering under Brandy's brea...

The Write Stuff (Lay The Very Best - Chapter 0)

Premier here! Just wanted to write something for this special day. Let me know that you love it and want it to replace the main series.

Sandy's legs were nothing short of a marvel. It wasn't just that they were long and shapely, but they absolutely were; they also had the power to crush a Ryhorn's skull.

"Is this sexy?"

"This is very sexy."

Sandy sat at her campfire, the soft glow of the flames reflecting off her legs as she...

Overdue Mail (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 370)

Dani was in her happy place beneath Brandy, and her soft body was as comfy as a beanbag. So lounging happily over the newest team member, Brandy propped her Pokédex up on the back of the cafe booth's sofa and checked her messages. 

There was a ritual to this, which always began with checking in with Pretty. The Bunny Girl Maid that Brandy had met so long ago liked to send risqué pictures to Brandy. It was Brandy's solemn duty to give each image the love heart it deserved and comm...

It's Thigh Noon (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 369)

Bitter Bliss was bustling by the time they returned, filled with couples, thruples, and larger groups, all enjoying slices of decadent cheesecake. Without flipping any tables! Brandy really should work on keeping her group under control.

They should have had to stand for a while, but a successful mission came with perks. With only a moderate amount of insults, Lilith dropped Brandy and Dani off at a cozy booth at the back, illuminated by flickering candles from a chandelier above.

Fans and Pillows (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 368)

Brandy held Dani close as they walked, her arm draped comfortably over the Magikarp's shoulders. Dani was practically glowing with joy at the attention. She'd lean into Brandy, and Brandy would feel a little jolt of happiness through the bond as she nuzzled her head against Brandy's chest. Dani was a mess of nerves and sweetness, but Brandy felt she knew the Magikarp better now. Not every Pokémon was a natural fighter or flirt, but Brandy could already see how quickly Dani had adapted to mak...

The Kalosian Special (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 367)

Brandy staggered back, clutching her forehead as a dull throb pulsed through her skull. The lampost hadn't taken any damage at all and stood tall, mocking her. It was a damn shame, she was being so cool for Dani too, but somehow despite not even being here, Rhona had got the better of her. The head bump wasn't the worst pain Brandy had ever felt, but damn, it was enough to snap Brandy out of her spiraling thoughts. She blinked, trying to reorient herself, when a high-pitched gasp hit her ears...

Heating Up Food For Later (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 366)

"Oh! Look at that building! It's got spikes! Who needs spikes on a building?" Dani said, bouncing excitedly ahead of Brandy. After her first

"Oh! Look at that building! It's got spikes! Who needs spikes on a building?" Dani said, bouncing excitedly ahead of Brandy. After her first fight, Brandy had praised the Magikarp, and Dani had turned all that praise into an infectious babbling energy.

"I think they just like the look of them," Brandy said, cheesecake box in her arms as she w...

My Brain Failed Me

Sorry last chapter I got all confused about who is where! I'm fixin'! Gimme a biiiiit.

Tails of Two Tricksters (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 365)

Morgan lay back, feathers spread beneath her like a dark halo, her breath slightly uneven as she cursed her own cleverness. The cool marble of Elira's apartment floor was a stark contrast to the warmth of the woman straddling her, fork in hand, mischief written all over her sharp vulpine features.

As much as the Murkrow wanted to play it cool...

Morgan rode the night air, her wings slicing through the neon haze that smothered Spikemuth. Below, the city pulsed with its usual reckless energy. Music pounding, voices spilling from the shadowed streets, cigarette embers glowing like restless spirits in the dark.

It was a beautiful mess of a place. Brash and noisy but laced amongst all the...

Not Quite Ready to Rumble (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 363)

One of the deliveries had a note that it would be a big climb, so Morgan had snatched it up and took off on her own. There were a few in the same rough area, so Brandy had said she and Dani could handle that; it'd give her some time to get to know the Magikarp better. This left Sparky and Calcine to handle the rest, which was very unfair. Because S...

Where In The Rules Does it Say a Murkrow Can't ... (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 362)

You leave Pokémon alone for ten minutes and can return to basically anything. When Brandy left, they'd been eagerly having sex, so once Rhona had sent Brandy on her way with an encouraging slap on the rear, she was surprised to come back to a card game.

They were all so engrossed that they barely acknowledged Brandy with more than some nods...

361 Is Just a Number (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 361)

Talking about Dani required a lead-up, which meant retelling the whole boat saga. Brandy had just finished telling Rhona about her brief battle with the Arctovish Arabella. Even thinking about that fossil, Brandy felt a little breathless. Her sheer presence had felt like a weight on Brandy, even worse than Rhona's Curse Body. Hopefully, she was hav...

Rhona led Brandy by the hand through the maze of fabric and chaos in her studio. Brandy's eyes inadvertently drifted downward to the sway of Rhona's hips. It was hard not to notice; Rhona moved with a languid, almost feline grace, her torn jeans hugging her curves in all the right places. Her tattered band tee was loose enough to be casual but fitt...

Cooler Heads Prevail (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 359)

Brandy was in a completely insane situation where she didn't want to fuck some pretty ladies senseless.

It wasn't that the Froslass weren't her type, she could have worked past the cold and she'd have loved to crack through the layers of smug confidence they both wore even better than their Kimono's. She was quite sure they could have given Brandy a good time. A bit of ghostly possession and ice paralyzation sounded almost restful, they'd do all the work and Brandy could just enjoy it...

Spider Bite (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 358)

Sparky cackled as she rose, the blue in her eyes burning bright. The motivation of being turned into a pressed sandwich was simply too much for the bug. Her fur bristled, shimmering with static that danced around her in chaotic, buzzing arcs. She shook herself, loosening out her limbs, and casually flicked a web out towards the Froslass sisters, who were busy kissing the heck out of Calcine while fending off Morgan with bursts of ice. 

The web froze before it hit them, and the brit...

Squash the Bug (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 357)

Brandy had always known Sparky was a little different.

Maybe it was a little sappy to think that. Every trainer probably thought their Pokémon partners were special, but sappy or not, Brandy believed it. Sparky had thrown everything she had into trying to make the people around her smile, and she always carried a fear that she was just a l...

Friendly Fire (Lay the Very Best -Chapter 356)

Brandy's pulse thrummed in her ears, the lingering electric charge in the air making every nerve feel raw. Across from her, Sparky stood unnaturally still, eerie purple light gleaming in her eyes. Her movements were too sharp, too deliberate. Just wrong. The bug Brandy knew was all fluid motion, always buzzing with restless energy. She should be cackling, throwing out some awful joke to keep them off balance. Instead, she stood rigid, fur bristling with unstable electricity, her body locked i...

Colder Than You'd Like (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 355)

When Brandy gave the order to move, Calcine and Morgan sprang into action. Morgan used Astonish and exploded into a swirl of black feathers, vanishing between the dressed-up mannequins. Calcine darted to the side, weaving into an interception path with the kimono-clad Pokémon. That left only Dani in the firing line, frozen in place by the piercing grip of Leer. Brandy yanked at her hand, trying to pull her clear, but Dani's feet might as well have been rooted to the floor. For such a cute li...

Sparky didn't need to cartwheel through the air after they threw her, but of course, she did. 

She whirled through the air, a streak of reckless joy, before snapping her wrists and firing off sticky strands of webbing. They caught mid-spin, stretching taut as she swung herself smoothly into a flawless landing. The jammy bug had Agil...

On The Town (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 353)

"Super Luck doesn't work that way," Morgan said, blowing a puff of air into Sparky's face.

 Lilith had been rather thorough with Sparky. She was too wobble-kneed to walk but refused to miss out. Rather than returning her to a Pokéball, Brandy had slung the bug over her shoulders. It had been easier when Sparky was shorter. With them nearly the same height, Brandy was getting a real workout.

"Doesn't work that way," Sparky mimicked tartly. "And yet here we all are, going to a...

By Royal Decree (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 352)

Brandy felt like the moon, helplessly pulled into the gravity of a far larger, dazzling celestial body. The Pokémon Chef who'd collared them had a presence that yanked your focus whether you wanted it or not. If she had her arm twisted, Brandy might be willing to admit she liked being ordered around now and then. This Pokémon seemed to reach right into her head and press the big button that made Brandy want to be a good girl who gets fucked up against a wall until her bones jellify.&nb...

Cleaning Up Her Act (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 351)

Calcine was happy to kiss Dani senseless, giving Brandy a chance to relax. Her adorable new Magikarp wasn't ready for the full force of Calcine's passion. Sure, she'd spent plenty of time with the sea folk, but their bonds felt more like friendship than romance. This was different, far more intense, and it showed in how quickly Dani melted from just a kiss. A kiss that probably had a tongue nearly down her throat, but still, just a kiss. Calcine's hunger for the fish was unusual, but she was ...

Writing Update!

Chapters are coming, had a little bit of an accident today and it's thrown stuff off.

All sorted now, and I'll try fix things up over the rest of the week. Sorry for the big gap, I hate having more than two days without a chapter! Need to get that backlog going again.

Flail Forward (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 350)

Lilith's boots clicked against the cafe floor like Bullet Seeds as she slowly sauntered over. The gradual approach gave time for the tension to build, and Dani held her breath in horror. Frozen still in Brandy's lap, her tail slowly slid off the table and into Calcine's lap, who stroked the thick thing like it was a sleepy cat. Morgan had swiftly got out of the way of the incoming disaster and was lurking behind the sofa they were all sitting on, her feathers soft on the back of Brandy's neck...

Show and Tail (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 349)

"I know it's not the food that Nibbles and Chew love here," Calcine said as she cut a small chip off the slab of cheesecake she'd been given. "But this is really good."

"Give Sparky some," Morgan said, her mouth half-hidden behind a fork she was making love to with her tongue. "I'm sure she'd love a bite."

Sparky was as far on the other side of the couch from Calcine as she could get, and when Calcine held up her fork, she scurried up onto the back of the sofa and then leaned all ...

Not Taking Orders (Lay the Very Best - Chapter 348)

Cafes usually weren't in gloomy alleys, but Spikemuth was weird. You could step off the brightly lit main street into any patch of darkness and end up in an ancient-looking cobblestoned alley, dimly lit by candles to cast long, flickering shadows. 

Brandy would never have even guessed there were shops down here, but Dani was their guide, and she said if they wanted a bite to eat, then Nibbles and Chew swore by this one place. Nibbles was a damn good cook, so Brandy was willing to g...
