After it was done, Molly came over to you. She eyed Anniebelle, who carefree shook off the scorched remnants of the whip. „Why do I feel bamboozled?“
You smiled innocently. „Do I get the Crest? You said so.“
„Yeah, yeah … I can already think of someone who helped you here.“ She frowned, but handed out the Crest nonetheless. It was a pretty, sapphire blue stone. „Here you have it, the Crest of Cobalt City. You already saw what it can do.“
„Yes. You lectured me thoroughly.“ You looked at Molly´s Gamanin. The frog-ninja was already back on his feet, standing behind his master. „I can test it, right?“
„Of course.“ Molly immediately stepped out of the way.
Wonderful. After all it was time to bring your birdgirl Racer back on her right level. Holding the Crest between index finger and thumb, you aimed. As if sensing your intent, a blue laser shot out of the crystal and into the frog-guy. He began to shrink as the Exp were sucked out of him. And siphoned right to …
You felt something like an electrical jolt passing through your fingers. It ran further into your body, growing warmer by the second. It was not painful, quite the opposite.
„Oh“, you tried to hold back a moan. „Right, first it goes to me.“ Your childish form underwent a rapid growth spurt, changing from ten to twenty in an instant. Your blue swimsuit got strained, almost ripped, before changing likewise to a more adult form of clothing. It diverted itself into panties and bra, flattering your newly gained curves. Your red hair grew likewise, now falling down to your shoulders in wavy locks.
Anniebelle came over to have a look. „Wow, you sucked him dry.“
„Don´t say it like that“, you whispered to her, unaccustomed to your new, sultry voice. Molly´s Gamanin had transformed back into his former evolution, a little boy with trunks and snorkels, which he held like weapons, and a swim cap with frog eyes printed on it. You pulled the Crest away, saving him from a fate of being fully turned into a baby. „Okay, that is enough.“
Molly, who had not been this nice, shrugged. „Be prepared. Not every trainer you encounter will be this merciful.“
„What, you mean, from now on every trainer is desperate to turn my team into a bunch of toddlers?“ Beside you, Anniebelle shuddered. „Please, calm your tits. Literally, do it.“
„Not every trainer might do it, but some will, if they get the opportunity. Exp are a valuable resource, after all. Also, if you are in more serious fights, shrinking your opponents BeastMon will take them out for good. Otherwise they could just toss around a few potions.“
„Oh, I see.“ You thought at the guy from Team Missile, who had given you the gold nugget a while ago. At that time, Belle had just shocked him into the river. Just in case there was no river the next time, you had now other options.
„And by the way“, Molly said, „here is another trophy for you.“ She snatched a weapon out of her frogboys belt. It was a throwing star, shimmering wet. „Water Shuriken. Have fun with it.“
„Oooh, this is perfect for my own ninja!“
Anniebelle took only a fleeting glance at the new toy. She tapped your shoulder. „Hey! Ask her if we can have the clothing-into-swimsuit-thingy, too!“
You asked. She waved you off. „Sure, why not? Now go, please.“ She turned around, to one of her bikini-clad assistants. „Get me Striker on the phone.“
