RQ: A Serpent's Affection (For MegastoneXY)

As the Champion of the Sinnoh League, Cynthia knew she was something of an icon. It came with the almost celebrity-like territory that her job entailed, and more than once her security had to force back a small mob of shrieking adolescents who wanted an autograph or photo or a little more besides - all of which the blonde found flatering, of course. But she never let her status as Champion define her, and if anyone came to her with a problem of some description then she insisted on sorting it out herself, no matter how trivial it was or how little it involved her to begin with. So when, during a vacation at a small forest town for recuperation, she'd been approached by panic-stricken villagers concerning a wild Serperior that had appeared near their homes, she'd abandoned her spa treatment on the spot and made straight for the neighbouring woodland, determined to put this trouble to rights.

Of course, she didn't get to her position by not being incredibly well-versed in Pokémon and their behaviour. She knew what she was looking for, and had a very good idea of what to expect from, and how to deal with, a rare creature like this roving so close to human habitation. That meant when she walked underneath the spreading branches of a beech tree, she fully expected to be ambushed from above, and didn't even so much as flinch when the spiral of thick coils came down with a thump on top of her, binding her nubile body from feet to chest before she could blink. Nor did she show any fear as the Seperior reared up in front of her, hissing in a territorial manner as it fixed her with searing eyes of red in a suspicious glare. In fact, the moment she began laying on the usual brand of gentle compliments she gave to her own Pokémon, it had gone from stoic and territorial to a shy, blushing wreck - just as she suspected it would do.

"Aw," cooed Cynthia, "aren't you just adorable?"

The Serperior in front of her made a bashful noise in it's throat, but smiled back nonetheless.

"Your trainer abandoned you, didn't they?" Cynthia made a show of looking apologetic and sorrowful, not in the least bit bothered by the feel of scales, dry and smooth as leaves, pressing onto her skin. The Serperior nodded in response, a pang of sorrow crossing it's narrow face, and the elite trainer congratulated herself for her own astuteness. She had guess the reason it had been lurking around the houses of the village - it simply wanted human company, unable to cope without the affection of a trainer, but had been stymied by the fact that almost everyone in the village was afraid of it, simply because it was so big and so strange. Having been met with screams of terror, thrown stones and even a brandished shotgun at one point, the poor thing had obviously been desperate for kind words, and that had been exactly what Cynthia had provided, allowing the Pokémon to open up to her more.

"Well, don't worry, big guy," she soothed. "You'll be okay now. I'll look after you, if you want!"

These words seemed to have the desired effect, for at once the Serperior's sadness dissapated, replaced by a wide smile of happinnes. A melodic cry rang out as it subtly adjusted the grip of it's coils upon Cynthia's body - what had once been a tight clutch bordering on almost a squeeze relaxed into a firm, much more gentle hug, the strong muscle caressing her body through her blue sundress. The leafy scales tickled her skin a little, eliciting a laugh from the blonde as she felt the corkscrewing loops rotate around her frame, the uppermost one rubbing underneath her breasts in a way she couldn't ignore - it was clear that personal space wasn't even a concept to this creature. Not that she minded - in fact, the way her generous assets were propped up as if by a push-up bra, her cleavage seeming to deepen as a result, felt rather nice...

"See?" she giggled, smiling at her new friend. "You're not so bad as everyone says you are! You just want a hug, don't you?" Then, as she felt the affectionate Pokémon slacken it's grip somewhat, a devious idea came to Cynthia's mind - one that she felt would solve the issue once and for all. This Serperior was clearly quite the friendly sort; perhaps a little too friendly for some to handle, which might have been the reason why it had been abandoned to begin with, since it's original trainer couldn't handle being so close to their own Pokémon. The question of just how close, however, was one that needed to be solved, and Cynthia smirked openly as she sought to test just what the boundaries were, and how willing her new friend was to cross them.

"Or..." Her voiced dropped to a purr as she put her plan into motion. "Maybe you want a little more?"

The Serperior paused, as if caught off-guard by what the woman was implying.

Intense red eyes met steely grey-blue. The air was suddenly electric.

"Go on," whispered the Champion.

The Pokémon needed no further encouraging, and leaned in towards Cynthia as she closed her eyes in preparation. Their lips met softly, gently, and a soft moan slipped from both participants as the connection was made, a warm and cosy feeling manifesting in both human and serpent. The coils squeezed gently again, but this time in rythymic presses instead of a constant grip, every inch of the smooth body massaging the tension out of the blonde woman's soft skin, whilst the end of the tail looped around the back of Cynthia's head to hold her close and stroke through her silky hair. A shiver of delight passed through the Champion at the sensations assaulting her, and when she felt a similar tremor pass along the Serperior's body she realized, with no small amount of pride, that it was enjoying this little tryst as much as she was. All was silent in the forest for a time, save the dry rustle of scales sliding on scales and a few quiet moans as Trainer and Pokémon kissed, neither one of them caring if they were being watched at this moment.

This, Cynthia thought, was a much better way of catching a Pokémon.

Birthday request from , who wanted to see Cynthia in her Best Wishes 2 outfit being coiled and kissed by a Serperior. Happy birthday, man!

I watched the Pokémon anime when I was a kid, but I confess I haven't paid much attention to it now I'm older. Mostly because I think Ash is an idiot who's doomed to never win anything - a feeling only reinforced by hearing about how the local Gary-Stu of the XY anime trounced him in the final few episodes of the Kalos League arc. Seriously, Ash, you're never gonna be a Pokémon Master, just give it up already. Literally every other character that travels with Ash is far more interesting than he is, like Cilan because he's so flamboyant, or Cynthia - whom I had no idea was even a companion of his - because she's the literal Champion and also really likes ice cream. Seriously, you have now idea how many times I saw that screenshot, looking for a reference for her outfit.

Not much to talk about here, so I'll try and keep this brief. I wasn't entirely sure of the context for the pic, because the requester didn't give me much - no offense meant. So I exercised a little creativity here, and went for something a bit more cute/romantic than my usual fare. I've usually seen Serperior coils depicted with that fleur-de-lils running up along the body, but I felt that would be too finicky for me to draw, so I just drew these coils in the plain green colours that the end of the tail usually has. Also drawing the tail was a bitch to do because those leaves on the end are so finicky and awkward, and they feel really unneccesary to the design. The whole creature screams Grass-type to begin with, why did you feel the need to keep the leaves from the previous evolutions there?

...man, this description got a bit ranty, didn't it? Sorry about that
