In the world of Pokémon, whether it's humans or Pokémon Trainers, the word that best describes everyone's character is "kind."
Finding something on the street and leaving it be, not locking doors at night—those are just normal. When someone's in trouble, people will help if they can. The chances of encountering a truly bad person are even lower than the odds of meeting a Shiny Pokémon.
Sure, there are villains, but most of them are driven by bizarrely "noble" ideals, trying to save the world in their own twisted ways before they start causing trouble.
But even these "villains" rarely go as far as taking lives, and they definitely don't use Pokémon moves to create some unspeakable "plots."
Which means that someone like Faba, who in Haru's old world would've at best counted as a garden-variety scumbag, now stood out like the lowest moral scum in this world—a dragon's scale of scum, seven stars deep in the abyss.
It was a beautiful world—Haru had marveled at that many times.
That's why, even putting aside the fact that Haru was always followed by two Legendary-tier beings, even if he were just an ordinary person, no Pokémon would ever brainwash or hypnotize him...
...and turn it into some scenario like "Reincarnated as a Female Trainer's Toy in the Pokémon World."
And yet, today Haru had somehow found himself caught in precisely that near-impossible scenario.
What's worse—he hadn't even realized it.
Mew wasn't around, Flutter Mane had passed out fighting Necrozma, and Haru, as a human, had no means to resist the power of a Legendary.
Even though Necrozma didn't know the move "Hypnosis," Lana still managed to temporarily warp Haru's cognition.
It didn't last long, but it was long enough.
To Haru's eyes, Lana now was Lusamine.
As for the real Lusamine? She was just a "bed." A "bed" that could be "used."
That might've been manageable… After all, Haru wasn't exactly one of those trainers who lived for Pokémon camp shenanigans. Even alone with "Lusamine," he might not have done anything.
And once he sobered up a little, he probably could've figured out that this was a trick by Lana and Necrozma.
But… the "Lusamine" in front of him was just way too… stimulating.
In Haru's vision, this "Lusamine" wore a black gothic miniskirt, the delicate lace edges fluttering with her movements like a noblewoman at a masquerade ball.
She had a huge pair of black wings on her back, and a heart-shaped tail.
Who knew what bizarre black-tech was behind it, but the tail even moved with her emotions.
It even wrapped around Haru's hand, the tip softly stroking his palm.
This "Lusamine" was the very definition of temptation.
And her semi-transparent black lace over her key areas? Standard issue by now.
It was practically written on her face what she wanted to do next.
Yet Haru still didn't sense anything off.
Because honestly, in his mind, it was perfectly plausible that Lusamine might do something like this.
In fact, compared to some of her previous plays, dressing up as a succubus was practically normal.
If you really wanted something to make your heart race, that'd be her cosplaying Lillie—though yeah, that would be kind of messed up.
While Haru was thinking all this, he followed the pull of the heart-tail toward "Lusamine," his heart pounding harder than during his usual battles—almost on Lillie-tier levels.
W-What's going on? Is my XP… succubi?
Though confused by his own overreaction, Haru didn't overthink it. He just followed his instincts and grabbed the succubus's tail.
Why think too hard? First step: targeted poverty alleviation. Help Miss Succubus level up! More importantly, he had to make sure she had enough food stockpiled!
Meanwhile, Lusamine—who was losing her mind—could only scream helplessly:
"You fucking can't! You can't do this!"
"Lana, let go of me! You little slut!"
Sure, she was trying to "train" Lana into Haru's plaything, hoping to please her own twisted demon king Haru.
But she'd never expected the toy to start a Toy Story rebellion—and she, the "mistress," was now the one bound and helpless.
The tables had turned in the worst possible way.
But right now, she was just a "bed." No matter how ashamed or furious she was, she couldn't stop Lana one bit.
If anything, her cries only made Lana more excited.
As for Haru… with his Soundproof ability, he couldn't hear Lusamine at all. All his mind could focus on was Lana's "Star-Calling Mage" spell that had awakened his cosmic instincts.
All he could think about now were "Extreme Speed" and "Abyssal Thrust."
Still, before officially starting the fight, Haru figured he should weaken the opponent's defenses.
The moment he closed in, he opened with Shadow Claw. As a Pokémon specialized in "Claw-type" and "Root-type" moves, he was especially good at those.
His mastery had mostly been honed on Lusamine herself.
So using those moves on "Lusamine" now was just… paying homage to his sensei.
And so, landing a critical hit right away, Haru destroyed Lana's waist defenses.
Only then did he notice that just below Lana's stomach was a glowing pink Dominant Sticker!
What could he say—Lana really lived up to her title as captain of the island challenge. Even in Ultra Space battles, she was still thinking about Totem Stickers and trials.
And seeing that heart-shaped Totem Sticker sent a shiver down Haru's spine…
Too dangerous. Even without any active moves, just looking at it made his body tremble.
It was like the sticker had some strange magic, forcibly drawing in Haru's gaze.
Meanwhile, the Root Fossil he carried started to expand wildly, draining his energy for nothing.
No, I've gotta do something. I have to sully that Totem Sticker with something filthy—or just staring at it will break my will.
And Haru wasn't the only one affected.
Lusamine, who had been barely holding it in since the beginning, finally couldn't help but curse out loud:
"You shameless bitch! How could you do something so indecent?!"
"I haven't even gone that far, and you're jumping ahead?! Have you no shame!?"
Honestly, Lusamine couldn't wrap her head around it. How had Lana become this kinky after "awakening"?
Wasn't Lana supposed to be a pure, ordinary girl?
But now… these plays were so wild even she hadn't thought of them. If she were in charge, who knows how perfect it could've been.
Meanwhile, Haru—now playing the role of a rogue Skull grunt—made his decision.
Fight! Screw it! Time for the island challenge!
But just as he was about to grind his Relentless Blade against Lana's Totem Sticker and begin the challenge, "Lusamine" suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
His attack stat had already risen. Haru was baffled.
He was ready to Sword Dance right on "Lusamine"—why stop now?
Lana didn't speak. She simply used her tail and right hand to guide Haru to the "bed," then patted Lusamine's stomach. Her meaning was crystal clear.
You weren't this attached to the bed before, were you?
Haru muttered a few things internally but still obeyed "Lusamine's" wish and lay down on the "bed."
Even so, during the whole process of lying down, his hand never once left Lana's frontal plating or her belly.
This "Lusamine" was just too irresistible.
And so… from an outsider's perspective, this whole scene turned into a "sandwich."
