Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

Despite the hiring and presence of Kaya, it was still difficult for Aydin to focus on his secret work. It could have just been day one anxieties. Could she do it? Was she up to the task of caring for his Pokemon? It was not unreasonable for Aydin to worry and fret. They were his companions, his comrades in arms, his friends and even family. He was handing some of the most precious things in his life over to this woman. He wanted to check on her, to see if she was doing everything correctly right down to the most minute detail. But Aydin employed some restraint, telling himself over and over again that it was okay and that Kaya seemed a diligent helper. He could focus on his task. The dark cellar was only the size of his conjoined kitchen and dining area. A ladder led up to a hatch which opened into the actual home basement, full of excess and tools that any normal household would appear to have. Down here though it was like stepping into a new world. Mount Silver was wild and uncivilized. And his manor out here was rustic with some comforts of modern life. Down here it was beyond that. An independent power generator was in one corner, tall server stacks set in another, full of high tech machinery and wiring. A sleek desk was positioned facing the entrance, complete with two monitors and a very powerful computer. Shaking the mouse dispelled the spinning TR logo of his screensaver, opening up his precious files and research, days and weeks of arduous observation, experimentation, and reports of specimens. Larvitars. Pupitars. They were among the rarest breeds of Pokemon found on this mountain side. Their final evolved state, Tyranitar, was even rarer and uncommon. But it was his job, to utilize this technology, to induce such evolutions in the Larvitars he could capture. A cruel practice, capturing them in traps and then bringing them here to be put in a large glass container, where rays and sensors induced it with artificial energies that triggered the evolution. So far, it had an unfortunate result of making the resulting evolved specimenswilder and violent. More so than was usual around here. Aydin didnt like it but it was what he was commissioned to do. The Organization had looked out for him before. They put money in his pocket, which provided him the means to provide better care for his Pokemon. He had the brains for this, the Executive Committee had declared. The Boss himself has high hopes for him. With Kaya present to watch the grounds and his Pokemon, he could work unfettered. He had no live specimen, as the previous one had been induced to high levels of violence that nearly leveled his home. That had been a month ago. Right now, he was using this time to recalculate and recalibrate the energy rays. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he entered and redid all sorts of formulas. Kayas voice crackled over the intercom to inform him of lunch. Aydin hadnt even kept track of time, the voice even startling him a little. He told himself five more minutes then Ill go up . He ended up getting caught in his work and his sandwich went uneaten. He only ceased after many more hours because his fingers felt stiff, his eyes hurt from the illumination, and his butt ached from sitting so long. Yet he had never worked this much without interruption before and he felt he made great progress, completing what would have taken a week in only a days worth. He earned a reprieve and so far there had been no reports from Kaya on any trouble. He logged off his computer and shut down the machinery for now, ascending the ladder. No one was in the home yet and a quick glance out the window showed that Kaya was still out and about. No fires, flooding, or fissures opening up in the ground. That was a good sign! He could use a shower though before settling in for dinner and maybe his own time with his Pokemon. He was starting to miss them a little. That was when the thoughts of Kaya came unbidden to him, as he stood in the hot shower, the water trickling down his lean but strong physique. He couldnt help but think of herwet again, her hair soaked and the clothes clinging to her body, accentuating her figure. And what was her figure like under those clothes? But no, he couldnt think that! She was his employee and he didnt want the workplace to get awkward. She was good at her job. He needed to keep her happy and not being admired by her eccentric boss. As he got out to dry himself, wrapping the towel about his waist and leaving his abdomen and chest exposed, he pondered what excuse he should give as to his whereabouts this entire time. It seemed he would need an answer sooner than later, as the washroom door suddenly flew open on him. Living for so long alone, Aydin wasnt in the habit of locking doors. Who was going to come in? His Pokemon understood some concept of the need for personal space when showering or sleeping. Aydin looked up, no glasses at all with soaked hair clinging to his face, to see Kaya standing in the doorway. And he just standing there in a towel. It wasnt as if he should be embarrassed about his body. He just hadnt expected this and for a momenthad nothing to say as he gawked at her, one hand clutching the towel around his waist. A little too low, revealing just the upper half of his strong pelvis. Ms. Murasakino! I didnt know personal sponge baths was a part of the job description butwell, you aint getting paid extra for it. He managed to tease and wink.
