Wisps of white steam rose from the hot spring in the early morning, and a faint smell of sulfur hung in the air.
Several female teachers from Rustboro City had gotten up early and eaten breakfast before returning to bathe in the hot spring behind the inn.
"Ahh~ Hot springs really are the best." Thirty-eight-year-old Teacher Fengzi sank her whole body into the spring and let out a moan that made faces flush and hearts race.
Roxanne wore a school swimsuit and leisurely sipped sake nearby.
"Still, it's such a rare chance for mixed bathing. What a shame that handsome Teacher Oak didn't join us." Teacher Fengzi fiddled with a little duck toy, shaking her head with a sigh.
"Well, that sexy, smoking-hot former Ice-type Elite Four member, Miss Lorelei, invited him to bathe with her. I wouldn't have turned her down either."
"Miss Fengzi." Roxanne blushed slightly as she stared at the mature teacher. "Just how did you get... such a generous bust...?"

Cloyster, Dewgong, and Blastoise occupied the center of the hot spring, all three Pokémon radiating the unmistakable presence of big shots.
Cloyster and Dewgong each held a Pokéblock in their mouths, blowing burbling bubbles in the water.
Blastoise took some hot tea from behind its back, slowly slurped a mouthful, and spat out two tea leaves.
It was revitalizing Cloudmist Tea
