"Phew, you really did a number on us there!" Acerola exclaimed, wiping away imaginary sweat from the side of her forehead, "I never expected your Blissey to blow away Dhelmise with Fire Blast! I'm almost overwhelmed."

Blissey simply stood tall with a victorious facial expression and let herself be brought back to her oddly contrasting Dusk Ball. Her trainer stepped forward, a victorious little girl who was serving as the Alola League's first-ever challenger. Her Pokemon were rougher than diamonds and packed unexpected utility and coverage moves, forging battles that would for sure go down in history. Without even using all six of her Pokemon, Moon, hailing from a lone house on Route 1, had plowed through the Ghost-type specialist's team.

"Thanks for the complements," Moon innocently expressed her gratitude.

"Anytime. I presume you'll want your prize money. Here you go," the purple-haired aristocrat offered as she produced a sensible stack of cash.

Moon politely turned her head, backing down the money.

"I don't need any money. I'm quite rich in victories, Acerola. Any more money and my bag here would burst!" she exaggerated.

"Oh, well if you insist. Keep up that rampage of yours!" Acerola encouraged.

"Before I do rampage past the rest of the Elite Four, I wanted you to see one of my Pokemon that I never got to use in our battle," the former trial-goer said, pulling out a Friend Ball and throwing it forward.

Acerola watched curiously as a familiar, but gaudy Pikachu-like figure was produced from the ball.

"Oooh, a Mimikyu- one of my favorites, and it has a cute pink bow too!" she reacted.

Mimikyu looked down at Acerola's feet, small and pale, only covered with the lavender straps for the slip-on open-toed shoes that she wore. It modestly looked away, and then wandered around in-place for a bit.

"I will still like to accept a prize from you, but I have no interest in money. Mimikyu here will help me set everything up," Moon explained.

As if on cue, Mimikyu peered from underneath its cloth. Catching Acerola, who was lovingly staring at the Disguise Pokemon, off-guard, she suddenly jumped back as a surge of shock swept over her. The cold, rocky room that she and Moon were in trembled. All of the dark colors in the atmosphere oozed over the lighter colors and turned the world into a duskier and emptier type of void. She had read that strange, scary things happens to those who see Mimikyu's true body, but the way Mimikyu had so quickly unveiled just a small part of itself made her think it was trained to do that. Whatever Moon had planned, Acerola didn't feel completely confident about it.

"Moon! This is dangerous!" Acerola shrieked.

"Calm down, calm down. Mimikyu is very friendly, it won't use its powers to harm you. Open your eyes, we're in Mimikyu's little world now," Moon said.

Acerola rubbed her eyes and looked around the strange, midnight blue realm she and Moon had been whisked into. Mimikyu was there, too, with a sudden intensified look in its eyes.

"Alright, now relax, Acerola. I want to tell you about what Mimikyu's world is like. We have worked to form a domain accessible to anybody Mimikyu knows it can trust. Together, we have been working toward our new goal. Try not to be weirded out or anything but- we aim to become the greatest ticklers in Alola!"

A confused Acerola stood still with a confused look transfixed on her face.

"Ticklers? Like tickling?" she pondered. "That's completely out of left field... or right field... I don't really get baseball metaphors..."

Moon looked down at Mimikyu and nodded. The Ghost and Fairy type jumped up and grew in size, utilizing its power within the realm it had created with training assistance from its instructor.

"Yes, tickling. I myself have an admiration for Ghost types. A Trevenant once saved me from a Lurantis, and the interesting part was how it seemed to... punish the Lurantis. It tickled the Lurantis using roots from the ground. It was so... satisfying... and now, that has inspired me to embrace tickling!" the girl proclaimed proudly.

A gasp came from the elite four member as she saw ghostly, stretchy tendrils close in on her and proceed to restrain her. They resembled Mimikyu's Shadow Claw, and several piled up to tie up her legs, while two struck from the air and wrapped around her arms. A huge one in particular spawned under Moon's feet, and she seemingly surfed on it until she was right in front of Acerola's ankles.

"This must be a little sudden for you... but an opportunity to tickle Alola's Ghost-type specialist would be just wonderful! Not that you're in any position to decline now, but- would you be willing to let Mimikyu and I have our fun?"

Acerola blinked. What had gotten into this girl? She seemed so normal at her trial over in Ula'Ula. There certainly weren't many Trevenant or Lurantis at that island. Something like a parasite had suddenly crawled into this trainer's brain and programmed Moon to do... this!

"W-Well this is definitely sudden for me. This is so weird, but... well... okay, I'll try it," Acerola replied. "But only because you have such an enthusiastic Mimikyu... and tickling sounds just a little fun, too."

Moon grinned, and swiped the flip-flops off Acerola's feet with glee. A Shadow Claw tendril eagerly snatched them away in a greedy fashion, not caring for its owner who watched in dismay as her only footwear was lost to Mimikyu's world. The tickle-obsessed girl scrabbled her fingers at Acerola's pale, dainty feet.

"Eeheehee!" Acerola squealed.

"Ooooh, she's ticklish, Mimikyu! Get her good!" Moon ordered.

Mimikyu chirped with enthusiasm and brought to life several, equally as eager tentacles to tickle the captive. Moon removed her hands from Acerola's feet and let her Pokemon take control, wishing for Mimikyu to have its fun. Having recently had a more hands-on opportunity to tickle a different captain, there was no problem with sharing the spoils.

Acerola began to squirm, shriek, and struggle as Shadow Claws snaked around like conscious, sadistic ribbons and scritched the supple soles stuck in their hold. Mimikyu experimented between the small, blushing toes, and the skin that hid in the slim, precise spaces between. The luscious flesh at the arches immediately yielded chaotic hysteria from their owner when the claws scraped in and glided up and down. Her heels were clenched and pinched at using the very sharp tips of each claw, also producing satisfactory reactions.

"Hahahaha! Your Mimikyu is merciless! Hohohow is it such a skilled ticklerherher?!" Acerola mustered between her giggling.

"Heehee, Mimikyu and I have our little secrets. Just focus on the tickling," Moon replied. "How do those sharp, raking claws feel against those ticklish little feet of yours?"

Moon added a quick swipe down Acerola's left arch.

"EEEP! Tickly!" Acerola answered.

Chuckling, Moon sat down, crossing her legs, and watched the soles in front of her become increasingly more tormented with great pleasure. She and Mimikyu had worked on this little realm as a place where they could tickle anybody no matter where they were. The only thing visible to the outside world was Mimikyu itself. With the rooms working so that only one challenger could be within at a time, nobody would be coming to interfere. Having opened up to Mimikyu and bonded with it, Moon was able to use the spiritual powers of its body to not fatally haunt those who saw it, but instead transport them to Mimikyu's own little section of the spirit world.

What better way to use a world like this than as the perfect place to tickle somebody like Acerola here? The ghost captain was a carefree and jolly girl, always having fun with everything. Hearing her laugh was exactly what Moon had hoped it would sound like: an upbeat, high-pitched melody of hysteria. Although she was more focused on the trial when they first encountered on Ula'Ula, Moon still took notice to Acerola's near-exposed feet that day. They were doomed to the fate that they were under right now ever since that one moment.

Acerola herself appeared to be having fun. Or maybe her naturally upbeat laughter made it sound like that. From what Moon knew of Acerola, it would be in-character for the aristocrat to be having a kick out of this. But if Acerola had known what that Lurantis had learned on that fateful day on Akala Island, she would know that tickling is only fun for so long.

Time presumably ticked by. Acerola could never get adjusted to the whole thought on being caught up in Moon's little tickle game. Moon seemed to be innocent enough of a trainer; definitely a very skilled and strong one and one worth rooting on as she aimed for the top. Despite the weirdness of the situation, this wasn't all too bad. A good laugh couldn't hurt. The scritching and light scratching of the clawed tentacles drove her crazy as they sent shocks through her sensitive feet. Ghost types were very capable creatures when they wanted to be, and Mimikyu seemed very much motivated to make Acerola squeal. The methods it applied to her peds tickled more than any other kind of tickling she had ever endured before. When was the last time she had ever been tickled before, anyway?

"Your laugh is lovely. You should opt to get tickled more often, Acerola. You could really brighten somebody's day with your laughter," Moon complimented, this time throwing in a swipe on each arch with both hands, still caring to give Mimikyu the space it needed.

"EEyAAAhAhAAAA! You thihink sohoho?!" she asked.

Moon nodded with sincerity. She looked up at Mimikyu, which looked back down at her trainer with a look of gratitude. Either it was the time she had with Moon or a weird coincidence, but Mimikyu seemed to have her own knack for tickling as well. Acerola had a positive vibe from what Mimikyu could tell; somebody who would be very fun to tickle.

Eventually, the increasingly-applied effective methods of Mimikyu's tickling had their inevitable effect on Acerola. Her feet were developing hints of blushing, as were her cheeks. Her naturally pale skin made it even more noticeable. Acerola seemingly did not have the best stamina in the world. Though nobody was able to tell in such a timeless world as this one, ten minutes of nonstop tickling had passed. Moon was having fun watching the tortured pair of feet, but she decided she had her fill. That didn't mean Mimikyu had her fill, though. Moon readied herself to leave Mimikyu's realm, and began surfing the platform she was on away from Acerola to train her other Pokemon for their other Elite Four battles in the rocky room outside.

"Wahahait! Where are you going?!" Acerola asked in a slight panic.

"I'm going outside in your Elite Four room. Mimikyu will take you back too once she's done tickling you. I can do some training while I wait," Moon replied.

"But- Eeyahahahaha! I think t-that's enough! W-When does it stop?!"

With a response in a tone that acted as if there was no ticklish captive being continuously tickle tortured where nobody could find her, Moon answered,

"Mimikyu's fun is usually had over the course of an hour... so have fun! Thanks for being so kind to allow us to do this with you. You're the best, Acerola!"

With that, the large platform Moon was on was withdrawn and Moon was brought back to the outside. It was colder there, being at a high mountain, than it was in Mimikyu's admittedly cozy realm, but with two trainers left that Moon expected to be particularly powerful foes, she focused on training. She could probably get away with telling Kukui that the strategy for Acerola involved a really complex stalling-type strategy. Or maybe she could simply take Mimikyu along and keep Acerola as a temporary tickle-prisoner until she at least got through the league. But for now, a good ten-minute training session would do. She sent out her Blissey and her Butterfree, focusing on toughening the two of them up first

instead of the poor, unsuspecting victim sealed away in Mimikyu's little world of tickling.

Here it is! This time, on Moon's increasing tickling streak, we have Acerola. The minute I saw Acerola I knew that we needed tickles for her in the near future. I'm not the best artist in the world, and these aren't the best of the Acerola tickles we have, but I'd say this isn't half bad. Acey's (Note: Apparently that would be pronounced Assy's) becoming a popular Sun and Moon victim, and come to think of it- I don't think any of the victims in the lineup I have planned will be firsts aside from maybe one, but I hope we can have fun with this anyway.

I officially declare Moon's Quest to Tickle All of Alola a series here at Pro's dA gallery. This means you can expect Moon to be at it a lot of times, building up to her eventual downfall... but that's thinking very much ahead. You guys seem to really like human tickling, or at least the Mina pic, so I hope you like this one too. Your favorites and comments and general support are what keep my self esteem from deflating into a little pathetic lump of nothing.

This pic wasn't too much trouble to make, although Moon's face is a bit weird. Might just be the eyebrows. I probably could'be made her legs longer. In other news, I restocked on my signature tool of trade- Crayola colored pencils- which means I have a new supply of Sand, the shade of color I use for Caucasian skin, so I'm completely ready for more human pics in the future. Hopefully this series can help me improve on my capabilities of drawing regular five-toed feet and humans in general.

See y'all around.

Acerola, Moon, and Mimikyu belong to Nintendo, Game Freak, The Pokemon Company, etc.
