#8 of Cassidy's Journey


Seven training-filled days had dragged by. Cassidy hadn't slacked on any of them but one— the last, when she had drained herself after training her entire party in daily one-on-one extensive sessions.

She'd awoken shortly after dawn and was choosing a good outfit to wear before heading to Lumiose. Her night had been full of tosses, turns, and broken sleep. She'd gone to the local market to buy ingredients, then cooked and fed her party baked cheese and wiki berry pastries.

'She thinks I want to battle now…' Fenny was sitting on the couch's edge while Garna stood nearby.

'You can't run from it, dear. No matter the outcome, you will be glad you told her,' Garna assured.

Fenny scanned the floor with his eyes. He then took a deep breath and shut them for a second. 'I'll tell her.'

Garna eyed him with a subtle grin. 'Will you?'

'After the gym I'll... I'll tell her.' Even though thinking about it churned his stomach.

"Are you two ready?" Cassidy asked while entering the living room, receiving a gentle nod from Garna. She'd already returned Añu and Violet to their pokéballs after a small pep talk.

Meanwhile, Cassidy had thrown Fenny into a trance. The black jean shorts she had on showed off her upper thighs; the matching thigh highs she wore hugged them, resulting in a visible and subtle squeeze around her skin. Cassidy had on the same boots but switched out her shirt for a black and white tank top with a dark purple denim vest layering it.

She always dressed with appeal, which never helped Fenny's staring, but she was his trainer. Shouldn't he respect her more?

"Fenny?" she queried again.

Fenny quickly nodded.

"Okay." She straightened her clothing. "I'll see you both soon." Cassidy returned Fenny and Garna and walked outside to her bike under a cool overcast concealing the sun.


It was a two-hour drive, give or take, and she'd stopped for a small pizza halfway through. Lumiose made any amount of travel worth it to Cassidy.

Upon entering, she gazed at the city's buildings, marts, and restaurants everywhere she looked while paying attention to other bikes, buses, occasional vehicles, and pedestrians crossing her path. The sun shined on the city in mild layers for minutes at a time before thick gray clouds overhead took it again. She expected it to rain soon.

Cassidy adored the sprawling central city, but she'd never live in such a busy place. Being around so many people daily would drain the social battery she didn't have.

She used her Pokétch to help find out where the gym was and zoomed into Lumiose on the map. Cassidy pulled the throttle every now and then to cruise and stop when she had to, looking up frequently to watch the road. "Rouge Plaza…" After which came Centrico Plaza.

Cassidy brought her Pokétch up to look over the route once more before putting her hand back on the throttle, keeping north until spotting her destination ahead. Tall, white-colored buildings encompassed grassy terrain with a red statue in the center.

A family of tourists snapped pictures of each other, posing in front of it, and many shopped or ate at outdoor restaurants. This plaza was also home to the Sushi High Roller, a popular restaurant in Kalos and Alola. Cassidy had been with her parents many times years ago but never since.

After riding through both routes under the sun and making a pit stop at a mart for heals and revives, Cassidy got off her bike and saw the gym ahead under a staggeringly tall structure. Prism Tower was an overbearing and magnificent sight.

She eyed the concrete tower lined with windows and looked around at more people taking photos of it both up close and from afar.


With no ground types on her team, the battles weren't as much of a breeze as the last gym. Fortunately, her pokémon were well prepared to fight on its required level, and Cassidy had bought enough potions and revives to support them.

She'd mainly used Añu and Violet to battle as Fenny recently fought most of Coumarine City's gym and was still in training; however, she had used him toward the end of the final battle against Clemont, as Violet and Añu had fainted.

She'd revived them but swapped in Fenny to give them a break and ease him into battling. Even after the battle, Cassidy carried more healing properties than required, but better safe than sorry. She could always use them for the next gym.

"Three badges left." She held the yellow triangular badge with golden metal lines resembling lightning splayed across it between her fingers. She grinned at it while walking toward the exit with Fenny strolling alongside her.

She noticed it was silent in her head and looked beside her to see Fenny gazing at the moving ground. "Is something wrong? You performed well." Cassidy eyed him.

As they stepped outside under a drizzle and gloomy weather, Fenny finally spoke. 'I… lied.'

"Hm?" She stopped under Prism Tower, just outside its entrance and several feet from a few trainers and their parties preparing to enter. She turned to him.

'A-About wanting to train more often, I lied.'

Cassidy stood before him. "...What do you mean?"

Fenny started breathing a little faster. 'I-I used it to cover up how I felt, o-or feel.'

"Fen? Tell me. Tell me now," she spoke emphatically. She placed her hand on his cheek and turned it so he looked at her, a crease of worry between her brows.

He swallowed, his eyes shooting around, but they shifted back to her. 'I miss… uh, I-I miss... how close we used to be?— It's stupid. I should be over it. I'm older.' Fenny's tail drooped.

"Okay..."

A peal of thunder rumbled from deep within a blanket of billowing black clouds above. Frigid breezes flowed, and the rain fell harder, pattering against his fur, her hair, and her clothing, but it stirred neither.

"How long have you felt this way?"

'I think after I evolved, but... it's gotten worse. I-I don't know why.'

"Je suis tellement désolé (I'm so sorry)," she whispered, her eyes glossing over his face. The rain fell harder, dampening Fenny's fur and beginning to wet Cassidy's hair and clothes a great deal.

She glanced at the sky, then went to where she'd parked her bike next to the gym. She pulled out its key, kicked up its stand, and sat on it, then slid the extended lid over her Pokétch's screen. "We should make ground before this gets worse."

Fenny took a few timid steps toward her bike, though he glanced at her bag where his ball sat.

Cassidy stuck the key halfway in the bike's ignition and turned it right, pushed it in, then left to unlock it. She flipped a few switches, then held the starting lever under the handlebar while holding her brake under the other, pulling both while pressing the pedal with her foot to start the engine, which sputtered to a steady, high rumble. "Hop on."

The ride home wasn't nearly as pleasant as the one earlier. The wind howled, thunder boomed, and rain fell hard enough at one point to where they had to pull over and take refuge in a Pokémon Center.

The weather roared outside the doors while they sat inside in chairs alongside a few other stranded trainers.

One man paced by a couple of vacant seats while talking to someone on their Pokétch.

A soaked teen girl in a jacket sat with her damp pikachu, who'd curled up in her lap two chairs away from Cassidy. She slipped him under her jacket after he quivered, grinning while tracing her fingers over the protruding outline of its body.

Cassidy wiped water and strands of hair that clung to her brow using her sleeve, looked back at the nurse wiping counters, then turned to stare at the foggy glass door. "Guess we're waiting this out for a while." She yawned while covering her mouth. "It is too dangerous to ride."

'It'll turn your bike into a muddy mess too,' Fenny said, flicking his paws and tail to shake off excess water. Her bike was outside under a ledge over the roof. 'I hope it calms down before dark.'

"I should have looked at the forecast earlier. We will be fine, though. We'll get home."

They and the others trapped in the Center had found an opening fifteen minutes later when the rain fell lighter, but it was pouring again by the time Cassidy and Fenny reached Route 21, now a city away from home. He sat on the back of her bike while holding her hips.

"Are you sure you don't want me to return you?" she asked while slightly turning her head, speaking over the hum of her engine and incessant rain. She winced and lowered her head from the onslaught of rain and wind rustling the route's greenery that her headlight pierced through. She wiped her head so the water didn't get in her eyes that trickled from her hair and hit her face.

He looked up and folded his ears back after the sky flashed for a split second. A thunderous crash that reverberated across the sky followed, flinching him. 'I'll ride with you.' He also winced due to the frigid wind and rain incessantly hitting his face and fur.

He glanced at his forepaws and snaked them ever so slightly around her waist while resting his cheek against her shoulder.


They were back in her city an hour later since Cassidy had pulled the throttle and sped up when she could safely.

Only a few people were outside under what was now a soft drizzle, as most had taken shelter from the rain in their homes and places of work. She watched droplets hit and ripple the water without rest. Her home was less than a mile ahead, so she got off the bike with Fenny and walked the distance, wiping water drops falling from the ends of her hair.

"Fur's all soaked, huh?" Cassidy looked at him as he shook his tail and head. Her clothes were drenched too, and water dripped from the edges of her hair strands in slow droplets.

'Ick... I can't wait to dry off.'

She shivered the moment she entered with Fenny upon the warm environment encompassing her. "Whew..." The first thing Cassidy did was dry off and plug in her watch. She then changed and squeezed out her soaked clothing, afterward slipping into a pair of pajama pants and a tee.

She let her pokémon out in the living room, adjusted the thermostat to turn on the central heating, and ensured everyone was taken care of before throwing herself into bed with a groan and bundling up under her blanket. Everything vibrated and rang, even her head. She could barely feel her fingers and still shivered.


Cassidy had fallen into a midday nap shortly after shutting her eyes and slept for hours, waking as evening approached. She rubbed them and turned onto her back with a sigh.

Cassidy got up and stretched her arms before going out to the living room. Sure enough, Fenny was on the couch, lying on his side with his eyes open while Garna slept against the arm. She crouched before him and spoke softly. "How long have you been up?"

'A few hours, I think.' He looked up at her.

"…Come." Cassidy walked back to her room.

It took Fenny a moment to bring himself to get up after being still for as long as he'd been.

"What exactly do you miss?" Cassidy sat on the edge of her bed and eyed Fenny while he stood at her doorway.

'M-Mostly how you used to hold me.'

"...Okay."

He watched her get under the blanket and awaited instruction. He swallowed, suppressing a grin upon his longing becoming a reality, although he still wasn't quite sure what he desired.

She raised her hand to beckon him, and Fenny walked to the other side before getting on and lying beside her. Cassidy pulled him a bit closer after he settled, unsure of how to hold him. It would feel like she was cuddling a boyfriend in most cases.

She draped her arm over his chest while sliding her other under Fenny's neck, hugging his body. His type rendered his body heat naturally warmer than hers, making him twice as comfy to hold. "Maybe I missed it too," Cassidy whispered. It swelled in her chest. Something, which she tried to ignore.

Fenny didn't reply, only twitching his ear at her words, but he grinned while closing his eyes. Her embrace, combined with the blanket's insulation, was indescribably comforting.

His face was inches from Cassidy's neck. He looked up at her, studying the features that seemed to draw him to her so intensely.

Cassidy pulled him closer and traced her fingers along his furry chest. After a while, she exhaled, and a chill trickled up her back.

Fenny again twitched his ear after her sigh.

She pulled back slightly. "...How do you feel about me?"

'Huh?' Fenny opened his eyes and saw hers on his face.

"Because I notice how often you stare. Why?"

Fenny's gut firmed. Did he make it that obvious? He knew he did, actually, but how long had she known? 'I don't… I-I don't know what it is. Sorry.'

"Don't be." Cassidy sat up enough to press her weight on her elbow. Her hand rested on his chest. "Is it attraction?"

He waited before nodding.

"So, if…" Cassidy leaned down, everything within reprimanding her— screaming at her, but it was so accessible, and she now had confirmation. "I get closer," she whispered. "How does it make you feel?"

Fenny swallowed, his eyes on her as she closed in. He couldn't react the way he wanted to. He didn't even know how to. 'I, uh..."

"Hm?" She leaned more, inches from his face and rich orange eyes that tugged at her. She moved her hand to hold his cheek.

His ears slightly folded back. 'I…'

She connected their lips, a warm frisson flaring while she held it. "Mh..." Cassidy moved her lips against his furry muzzle, kissing at his mouth more.

Fenny indulged. His eyes slightly rolled against how soft Cassidy's lips and skin felt pressed to his. Warmth coursed within; he attempted to return her love the best he could to his knowledge, which was just him pushing against her before she broke it abruptly.

"Fenny… fuck–" she sat up and shut her eyes for a moment, the covers sliding off while she wiped her mouth. "F-Fenny, this is why I stopped our relationship…" She placed her palm over her eyes. "I am too weak. I still am."

He sat up. 'B-But I do feel attracted... M-Maybe in a way I shouldn't, uh— it's not why I wanted to snuggle with you, but...'

"True?" Cassidy lowered her hand and looked at him, scanning with her eyes. "...You're sure?" And received a nod, granting her a crucial decision: She could continue with her previous actions or cuddle the rest of the night away with Fenny.

She crawled on top of him and pushed him onto his back and her pillow, then sat in his lap, her legs straddling him. She rested her palm on his chest while he gazed up at her. "Then you can touch."

Fenny swallowed again. He raised his arms that subtly shook and set his forepaws on her hips, shooting his overwhelmed eyes all over her body, but they soon fixated on her upper thighs. He formed a slight grin and would swish his tail if it weren't under him.

The most satisfying of warm, elated chills ran up her body and lidded her eyes as his warm paws pressed into her skin. She followed his eyes, then sat up enough to slide her pants to her knees. She hadn't been touched in years; when she had after her parents, it was never with love.

Fenny pressed his fingers into her plump, succulent thighs and saw indentation around them from the pressure he applied. They felt as perfect as they looked, generously fat. He ran his digits over her smooth skin.

Fenny hadn't noticed he'd begun to grow an erection, but Cassidy was practically sitting on it.

"How bad did you have it?" She looked down at his rod stiffening under his sheath. Seeing his member stirred a strong, dormant arousal.

Fenny looked with her at his present tip. His cheeks flushed beneath his fur. 'Uh-'

"It's okay. I expected it." She reached and pulled the rest of his sheath back, running her fingers up the underside of his length. It brought a small, closed-mouthed moan from her braixen. "It's your first time being touched this way, yes?" Cassidy continued stroking until she saw the knot at its base she'd coaxed.

Fenny nodded, pulled in by the sensation from her touch stimulating his shaft.

Cassidy sat up more and slid her pants and panties down her legs and ankles, setting them aside. Her cold body yearned to feel heat, and her vagina to be penetrated.

Fenny stared at her small vulva, although he couldn't for long as she leaned and planted another kiss on his lips. He moved up and deepened it while attempting again to kiss back.

Cassidy gave his mouth several more kisses after he encouraged it. She took in his breaths while cupping his cheek before pulling away once more. "I'll make you feel really good, then."

She pulled off her shirt and reached back to unclip her bra and toss it with her pants. She grinned at Fenny gazing at her perky, rounded breasts.

She then reached her hand and held the base of his stiff erection, pushing it forward and pressing her vaginal lips to its underside. Cassidy pressed his shaft and ground her hips back and forth. "Nh." She pushed her other hand into the bed beside him.

"B-h..." His breaths stuttered; pre oozed at his tip. He watched Cassidy's hips' movement through winced eyes, his cock stiff while her supple skin rubbed his glans. Fenny pushed his hips against her motions, addicted already to the sensual attention.

He took in her body as much as his mind would allow, from her thick thighs, hips, waist, and up to her slim tummy and chest. He drew over the faint outline of her ribs and pronunciation in her collar.

However, she soon stopped, having become wet and very aroused, and noticed subtle disappointment in Fenny's eyes. "It gets better." She smirked and pulled his member up so it stood.

Cassidy positioned her vagina over his tip. "Vous voulez (You want)?" she whispered.

'M-Mhm.' Her voice was music to his lonely ears, making him shudder. He watched her slowly sit. His length parted her folds and pushed deep inside her as she pressed into his lap. Fenny tensed his legs and briefly curled his hind paws.

He let out a sigh, gripping her thighs while her tender walls glided over his cock and made him hump desperately against its wet and beyond-cozy sensations. "Brh. Hn..." It felt like a tight, soaking hug, though around his shaft.

"How is it?" She rolled her hips. Cassidy's walls ached, bringing her much satisfaction to be spread and stuffed by his radiating heat. She felt his stiff length move inside her and create stimulation in waves. It filled her eyes and mind with ardent lust. She could see the hearts.

'Ahn, uhgmazing…' Fenny gasped, squeezing her thighs to cope with slightly raised brows. Amazing was an understatement, but it was the first word that came to mind. He couldn't process that he was inside Cassidy, that she was sitting on top of him. Nude.

His eyes shot from her legs, then to her breasts and face, focusing especially on her vagina while she rode him.

Cassidy leaned in, pushing her hand into his chest while raising and lowering her hips. "Nm, ouais (yeah)," Cassidy moaned and rolled her hips upward when raising them, occasionally wiggling with sleek prowess while lowering so his cock stroked and pressed different areas of her inner depths. She pressed her folds to his knot and momentarily closed her eyes.

He watched with a gaze softened by pleasure, murmuring under his breath. "Rhhs... Hn..." Her lips hugging his length while forming subtly to his girth, alongside her walls stroking it in their warm embrace, was a sight he couldn't get enough of. Fenny's fingers shook against her thighs while he rubbed and pressed them, making her skin crease under his fingers. It felt unreal to be able to touch Cassidy this way and how good her pussy was making him feel even more so.

'Huh, uh.' He let his body move against her bouncing, a dull plap with gentle slicks heard every time she pressed her rear to his crotch. It overwhelmed and zoned him out, and he spurted pre continuously. Fenny shifted his legs against the blanket, his hips jerking.

He watched her legs move, her smooth tummy, and her breasts. Everything looked good, and everything felt good. His mind was full of lust-driven euphoria.

He groaned under his breath often. Prolonged, drawn-out groans. His eyes nearly crossed several times.

"You will have to tell me if I go too hard." Cassidy spread her legs more, balanced herself on her feet, and stood almost on her tippy toes as if squatting over him, then gradually sped up her pace while keeping a hand suspended in the air. She rolled her hips often, huffing while riding Fenny harder and breathing through her mouth.

She drew her fingers along his chest. The increase in speed made her tits jiggle with a slight bounce in tandem. Fenny seemed to have lost himself in her work, and she found his frequent muttery groans adorable, exuding the overwhelming pleasure he felt. "S-Someone's– nhf, enjoying himself. You like it, mh?"

'I-I do. A lot– I wh…' he trailed, seeking words he couldn't find as his mind blanked frequently. His forepaws gradually slipped from her thighs. He watched her hand move and felt her digits press and sift delicately through his fur.

"B-Bra-ih" 'C-Cass...' Fenny tried his best to keep his eyes open. His breathing became a quiet pant, and the surges of wet pleasure heightened. He stiffened and spread his quivering legs.

"Mh, Dis-moi que tu adores ça (tell me you love it)," she said between stifled breaths, her legs tiring as she continued and her body sweaty. She shut her eye but kept her other on her braixen while their session resounded. As their session grew more intimate, so did their body heat. Fenny's rose to an extent that increased their sex's friction, making it twice as pleasurable.

'I-I... I love it s-so muchh.' Fenny's eyes were shut, his expression helpless, and he moaned in ecstasy while Cassidy rode him. "B-Braii." She pushed his body into the bed as she bounced harder, and he rocked his hips against her rhythm as she sped up.

'I'm- oh, ohhuh...' Fenny writhed under Cassidy and groaned at a higher pitch, his forepaws slipping from her thighs between her motions and resting on the bed. He was immensely attracted to the scent mating seemed to give off too— a sweaty, sharp pungence that invigorated him and stimulated his instincts.

She dug her nails into his chest's fur, her moans growing louder and becoming frequent while his knot tapped and teased her labia. "I can't wait..." Her legs trembled beside Fenny while his cock throbbed against soaking friction.

Fenny panted harder, arching his back often while his climax built. "Breh, r-xh..." He shuddered while desperate moans escaped his mouth. Fenny felt hot all over and muzzy as his pleasure peaked. 'Ughn… Cas– oh, ih–' his mind blanked again. He turned and rested his cheek on the pillow, slightly sticking his tongue out.

Cassidy fell on her knees, leaning down and turning his cheek with her free hand while kissing his mouth with a slight hunch to reach him. "Mhhhph. Nh, mhn." She held it for seconds at a time while moving her hips at an angle, moaning and gasping into it while shutting her eyes. "Mh, fucking cum inside my pussy, Fen. All of it..." she slurred between kisses, pressing her mouth to his. Cassidy wanted to feel his hot breaths while he came. She listened to them stifle and hitch, growing shallower and more vigorous.

"Nnmbrm..." Fenny widened his eyes as his climax approached, bringing his forepaws up to hold her thighs again. He gave several thrusts into her pussy before pushing his knot through and parting her labia as she lowered herself completely.

He let out a muffled gasp into her mouth while squeezing her thighs again, a blissful orgasm warming him plenty. His cock and groin were hot with hazy pleasure, and her walls holding him snugly in their embrace made it that much better. "R-Raihh..." His cock throbbed while spurting and oozing inside her.

"Oh, f-fckk!" she moaned in a muffled tone against Fenny's mouth after he'd locked them.

He let his forepaws slip and fall to the bed again, looking at Cassidy after she broke their kiss. They locked eyes for several moments, both breathing rapidly.

Several minutes passed before Cassidy pulled off his knot. She lay on top of him and rested her cheek on his chest, hugging his sides and feeling his chest rise and lower with every breath.
