Chapter 8

A/N: Warning sexual themes in this chapter

Ash woke up and went into the bathroom. He took a quick shower and then shaved his face (I was shaving at 16 don't question it). Ash looked around and realized that he forgot his change of clothes. Shit, he thought. He just prayed that Serena was still asleep. He wrapped a towel around his waist and looked over at Serena. She was still in bed and facing him. Her pajama shirt had slipped down and he could see her cleavage. He felt his dick get tight and when he looked he saw that it was longer and felt harder. Ash quickly walked over to his bed and grabbed his clothes and hurried back to the bathroom. He put his clothes on then looked to see what time it was. It was 7:00 am and they wouldn't start traveling for another hour. Ash decided to head outside and get some fresh air. Last night, he experienced a whole new storm of unfamiliar feelings. He knew he needed to talk to someone, but the question is who. Clemont was amazing at science and blowing shit up, but knew just as much about this stuff as Ash did. Bonnie was bright, but too young. He couldn't talk to Serena straight up because he might say something stupid. Pikachu was like a brother, but Pokemon might have a different interpretation of love than humans. As Ash was figuring out how to go about this, X walked up beside Ash and could see something was bothering him.

"What's wrong?" X asked.

"Nothing's wrong" Ash lied.

"Your face tells me otherwise" X pressed. "What is it?"

Ash took a deep breath. "Last night I felt something unfamiliar" Ash said. "I thought about what you said and I think that I am in love with Serena."

X looked at Ash. He figured it out faster than I would have expected, he thought. "Go on."

"I don't know what all this means" Ash said. "This morning I was getting my clothes and I saw her sleeping. Her shirt had slipped down and I saw her chest. I felt hot and then my-*gestures downward*-thing grew longer and harder. I don't know what it means."

X was in disbelief. "For a kid who travels a lot, you were awfully sheltered" X said chuckling. "Okay we need to have a talk. Walk with me."

A/N: WARNING: WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS THE REALIST CONVERSATION ABOUT PUBERTY AND SEX. IF THIS CAUSES YOU DISCOMFORT, SKIP TO THE 😇.

"I'll get right to the point" X said. "You are sixteen years old. You've noticed how your voice has changed, right?"

Ash nodded. His voice had gotten deeper when he was 13 years old.

"You went and are probably still going through puberty" X said. "It's a biological process where your body goes through a lot of changes. The official definition of it is the period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction. The common phrase people use to describe this is saying that your balls have dropped. During puberty, your brain sends signals to these things in your body called gonads i.e. your testicles. It effects growth, function, and transformation of your body. It also stimulates libido, aka your sex drive. When this happens, you find that your desire for sexual activity goes through the fucking roof."

X looked at Ash. Ash was lost and probably didn't understand a thing X just said.

"Okay" X sighed rubbing his temples. "How to explain this? Guess there's no time for sugarcoating. Have heard of the word sex?"

Ash nodded. "Brock mentioned that a couple times, but I never understood what he meant."

"Sexual reproduction is the process of mixing genetic traits" X said. "To put it simply, it's how beings like you and most Pokemon make babies. You will find that you will want to do this with girls a lot more as time passes, specifically with Serena if this continues. Sex I mean."
