>>58063680>The thought of checking social media for new Pokémon sightings melted away the moment you turned the water on.>No thinking.>Relaxing time.>You crawled into the tub and stretched, moaning as the warm water sloshed over your muscles and through your fur.>You lied back and closed your eyes, loving every moment the water rose higher.>Opening your eyes ruined it.>The water was not the right color.>You were dirtier than you thought.>Grains of sand and rock pooled at the bottom of the tub.>Brushing your hands over everything knocked all the more filth loose.>Without soap, you were far cleaner already.>You needed a rinse. Maybe two.>And not soap.>Shampoo.>As the water drained, you became aware of how lean you were.>The fur really added some bulk in places.>Shaggy manilla chest fur normally hid your toned abdomen beneath, now the wet hair highlighted the muscles.>Your black haired parts were short enough there wasn’t much of a difference.>The blue fur was longer in a few places. Really fluffed your thighs out. >As the tub refilled, you had to check the mirror out.>You breathed a sigh of relief; looked better than expected.>No scared wet dog.>It became clear fast shampoo was going to be a problem. >Manipulated the bottle with your paw-hands was difficult.>And you needed a lot.>Sudsing yourself was rewarding, if time consuming.>You were very off-white and bubbly by the time you began rinsing off.>The amount of water you used was ludicrous, but you needed it.>Soap was rubbed in deep.>Bathing had taken an hour, and you hadn’t even dried yourself yet.>That made you sigh.>You found your first big downside of being lucario. >Where was that hairdryer?
