Hello! This is the third chapter in the little series I'm doing about Emily's venture into retierment. Finally figured out how to get things put into the appropreate folders now and I believe I've figured out the issues with the whole chapter thing. We'll see though, doean't really take much from the story I don't believe.

As always thank you so much for taking the time to read the story. Did a few quick pas throughs to make sure everything was ok but if I missed anything please feel free to let me know, helpful feedback is always welcome.


Thunder quietly rumbled in the distance as rain lightly showered over the forests around the house, tapping against the metal roof and the window of Emily’s bedroom. Her eyes opened to the soft rumble of thunder in the distance, making her shift as the haze of sleep faded. It was still early in the morning, earlier than she normally woke up, but then again it was to be expected.

Soft snoring came from behind her as Ty kept his chest firmly pressed up against her side, an arm lazily strewn over her in a gentle embrace as he slept. It had been the first night of staying in her new home and she couldn’t deny that having him there beside her helped ease the discomfort that came with it, even though she was still a little weary about him sleeping in the bed.

Tugging the mostly discarded blanket from her legs she carefully wiggled out of Ty’s grip, sitting upright in bed, hair disheveled and a mess as she tried to wake up. “What time is it?” she mutters, reaching and fumbling over the nightstand for her phone. The screen was a little blinding, making her blink as she squinted to check the time. “6? What the hell…” she mutters, sitting the phone back down.

Slumping over into Ty’s side, Emily hugged an arm over her partner, idly threading her fingers through the blue fur on his back. It had been nearly a month since they had received the news from the doctor of Ty’s condition, and while it still hurt to think about, she was more focused on what came next for them.

Listening to the rain she gave a soft sigh, hugging Ty as she nuzzled into the soft fur on his side. “It’s not over yet… Gotta keep going.” she grunts, stretching herself out with a wide yawn.

Sitting on the edge of the bed she took in her new bedroom. The hardwood floors were cold under her bare feet, the bedroom itself felt like a photograph staged before anyone stepped into it. The walls were a soft cream, unmarked and undecorated. The hardwood floors, recently refinished, reflected the gray daylight from the window in faint satin streaks. Cardboard boxes sat neatly stacked near the closet door, labeled in careful handwriting, their flaps still sealed with tape.

Pressing herself up she stretched her arms out, rolling her shoulders as she made her way to the window. “Well… no more moving stuff around outside today… not until the rain stops at least.” she mutters, leaning her head against the window frame. The yard looked darker than it had the day before. Freshly turned soil from the recent landscaping had deepened to a rich brown, rainwater collecting in shallow dips where the ground had not yet fully settled. “Gotta make a trip to get groceries, or see if I can get some delivered here… I hope the Mart makes deliveries this far out.”

Stepping out into the hallway she scratched over her shoulder as the sweet smell of tea greeted her in the living room. “Morning…” Emily grunted as she rubbed a hand over her face with another yawn.

Good morning master, you’re up awfully early don’t you think?” Gardevoir spoke up from the kitchen. “Then again you were tossing and turning in bed all night.” She moved with quiet precision, one hand hovering just above a kettle as her psychic energy poured steaming hot water into a cup. The rainlight filtering through the kitchen windows caught the curve of her gown-like form, giving her an almost luminous outline against the muted morning. “Would you like some tea this morning? It’s Oolong.

“Oh my god yes… I could not get to sleep last night for the life of me… it’s weird being here by myself… well, not by myself but… you know what I mean.” she grunts, rubbing her face.

Yes I know what you mean, the first night in a new home is seldomly a comfortable experiance, not that I have much experience with that myself.” She hums, floating a stirring stick over to brisk through the amber liquid slowly. “Piko didn’t seem to have any trouble getting to sleep though, he went out like a rock as he always does.

“Yeah well he deserves to get as much sleep as he want’s, him and Noivern worked really hard and deserve to have a good rest.” Emily says, moving to hug her arms around Gardevoir’s shoulders. “Mmph, you’re the best, thanks for tea.”

Chuckling warmly the Psychic type gave her a nuzzle in return and a pat on the head. “It will still be a few minutes before I’m finished, have a seat and I’ll bring it to you master.

“Mmph m’kay…” she mutters, pulling from her pokemon to make her way into the livingroom. Boxes were stacked neatly against one wall, labeled but unopened. The furniture was arranged but still felt a little out of place, as if it hadn’t fully decided where it belonged yet. Though she only really had her old flatscreen propped up on the TV stand, an armchair and a couch that was currently completely engulfed with white and red fur.

Carefully pushing the fur out of the way Emily looked over Piko with a smile, the Hisuian Zoroark was conked out with his mouth open, snoring softly into his forearms. He had claimed the entire couch, one arm dangling off the side, mane spilling over the cushions in a flowing cascade. His chest rose and fell in slow, even breaths. One ear twitched at the sound of the distant thunder, but he didn’t wake. A faint illusion shimmered unconsciously around him, distorting the edge of the coffee table and the couch itself before smoothing out again. Even in sleep, he was dramatic.

“We need to get your fur trimmed up buddy, starting to get a little crazy… let me just scooch in there with ya” she hums, carefully shuffling to sit down on the couch, leaning back against him as he gave a complacent grunt from being disturbed, curling around her as a single golden eye slowly opened, focusing on her sharply before it softened, leaving him to grumble. “Sorry, I wasn't trying to wake you up buddy.”

Reaching out Emily gently rubbed her hand along his cheek, giving his jawline a gentle scratch. “You rest as much as you want, you worked really hard.” She spoke softly offering as kind of a smile as she could muster while still half asleep herself.

Grumbling he nuzzled into her hand, settling back in a small yawn as Emily petted over his head. “Where’s Noivern at by the way? I need to check on his wing.”

He was sleeping in the guest room with me when I woke this morning, he is probably still in there asleep.” Gardevoir hummed as she floated the kettle over to the sink.

“Ehh I’ll just let him sleep, it’s too early to be poking and prodding at people.” she mutters, shuffling around to find the remote to the T.V. through Pikos fur

Turning on the weather channel she idly scratched behind Piko’s ear as she got caught up on what the next few days were gonna look like, cold, cloudy, off and on rain. “That sucks… they won’t be back down here for another couple of days at least… has the mail run yet?”

“Not yet, it’s still really early in the morning.” Gardevoir says as she chuckles. “You would think with the weather as dreary as it is you’d be inclined to sleep more.

“Honestly I should… but I don’t think I can, this is all still really new ya know… like… I own a house now… I’m living on my own in my own house.” Emily says, looking around. “I ain’t hardly got any furniture, but it’s still my house… feels weird saying that out loud.” she mutters rubbing her neck.

It will take time, but I’m sure you’ll come to realize the benefits of having your own home and a space that’s just for you.” Making her way into the living room Gardevoir offered Emily her cup of tea on a little serving plate. “That being said, don’t forget that you did offer Redgie the guest room here, so you shouldn’t be too lonely.

Accepting the cup and saucer from her Emily sighs. “That’s if he decided to move in, he’s been really weird about the whole topic ever since I brought it up… then again with Daisy’s appointment coming up I can imagine that’s really the only thing on his mind right now, pore guy can’t get over the fact that his little girl is now a grown woman.”

He’s being a big baby about the whole thing, I can understand being protective, but mating and eggs aren’t something to make such a huge fuss about, especially if the offspring already have good responsible homes they are going to. I was happy to see my son and daughter both find trainers who love and care for them just as you have done for me. You would think he would be happy.

“Pretty sure it’s more the thought of Daisy getting railed that’s got him bothered, not that he has any room to talk with all the clubbing that guy likes to do.” Emily says, gently blowing over the steaming cup.

He is a promiscuous fellow, though we all have our own vices, there isn’t anything wrong with the occasional indulgence.” Gardevoir hums with a smile and a faint blush.

“Yeah well make sure you at least try not to go popping out any more eggs on me, the first two were terrifying and I nearly had a heart attack… thank god we were already at the pokemon center when it happened.” she mutters, sipping from her tea.

To be fair I at least waited until no one else was around, you just happened to find me at a… vulnerable moment.

“Gardevoir you were spread eagle with nothing to hide, I didn’t need my little virgin eyes scarred with the sight of you popping out eggs on my bed, I never ran so fast to get the nurse in my life.”

Aww come now master, it’s the miracle of life, a beautiful sight to behold regardless of species.

“The fuck it is! I didn’t know a cooter could stretch like that! I was hurting for a week.” she chuckles, shaking her head slowly. “I was scared to death that you were gonna die or something, and then the nurse wouldn’t stop giggling at me and I nearly had a meltdown in the lobby when you just came waltzing out like nothing had just happened.”

Chuckling warmly, Gardevoir held her hands together in front of her, swaying her gown from side to side. “Admitidly I was embarrassed, it was a private moment, but I was excited for you to see that I was ok and that everything had gone well… also was a little worried for you, you left in such a hurry.

“Yeah well, I was worried about ya, I love you guys ya know? You’re like my family, and for humans that sort of thing can sometimes be dangerous for us.” Emily hums, gazing into her tea. “I was only like… what fifteen? Sixteen at the time?”

Sixteen yes, but to be honest I believe you handled yourself very well, all things considered.

“Yea no, I nearly threw up, couldn’t even look at myself down there cause I just hurt when I did.” she chuckles.

“Graaaaau…” Piko grumbled, looking a little annoyed and disturbed with them both, lifting his head to look at them.

Oh, sorry about that Piko, he says that he is getting grossed out with our conversation topic.

“Hey I don’t want to hear it from you mister, don’t think I forgot the time you were hard up for that Ninetails in Floaroma town out in Sinnoh! I thought I was gonna have to keep you in your ball cause your damn rocket kept pokin out whenever she was around, we were in public and every time I turned around you were just gawking at her with your thang out! Nasty bastard!” Emily states, patting Piko on the head firmly. “Talkin about being grossed out, I didn’t need to know what your pecker looked like!

Grunting the Zoroark looked off to the side, blushing faintly as he scratched his cheek and turned his nose up. “Graaaw wa.” he mutters plainly.

He says that was different.” Giggling into her hand Gardevoir moved to have a seat beside Emily on the couch, resting her hands delicately in her lap.

“Like hell it was. Caught you two havin some snookie at night when you thought we were asleep, had the most awkward morning of my life trying to apologize for your behavior” Emily retorts, sipping from her tea as she pets Piko’s head. “It’s fine though, that was years ago, I was mostly just embarrassed if anything.” humming she watched the TV idly.

What about you master?” Gardevoir spoke up. “It has been quite a long time since you’ve had a suitor, not since that gentleman in the Hoenn region, what was his name?

“Who… Austin?” Emily spoke up, sighing as she laid her head back into Piko’s long flowy mane. “He’s in a relationship with someone else already, apparently was at the time too and I didn’t know about it.” she says with a deep sigh. “I was just a quickie for him I guess.”

I see, well it is good that you did not conceive a child from him then, that would be rather awkward if he already has a mate.

“Yeah no… I always use protection, the only reason we hit it off at all was because I got a little too drunk, everything seemed just right at the time, but that’s what I get for drinking so much.” she says, smiling lightly as Piko gave a threatening growl. “Easy bud, I’m not hurting over it or anything… I just don’t know if I want a relationship like that right now… god knows I need something though, this dry spell is starting to drive me crazy.”

Five months is a surprisingly long time for you, normally you typically masturbate quite frequently when you think no one notices. Twice if not three times a week.

“Ok wow, fuck you for that one.” Emily grunts, swatting the psychic type as she blushes. “I don’t do it that often you dick!” she grumbles, looking even more flustered as Piko begins to give hissed snickers as he nods his head. “You guys suck, don’t team up on me… I don’t know, after what happened with Ty my head's been in a weird place, I mean I’ve tried but… I don’t know, it just doesn’t work out, I just frustrate myself more than anything.”

There’s nothing to be ashamed of, master, it is quite healthy and natural to tend to one's needs, though I can understand how things of late have made it a little more… awkward for you. I’m sure that now with everything returning to a more normal state things can go back to being as they used to be for you.

It wasn’t that noticeable right? Like of course Gardevoir would notice, her species keeps a strong mental bond with their trainers, but Piko? He had a very strong sense of smell so probably, though the thought of that only made her all the more embarrassed, he probably smelled her all the time when he wasn’t in his ball. At least he was respectful about it.

Sipping from her tea she gave a deep sigh, pressing herself up from the couch. “You know what, I’m gonna go have myself a shower, see if I can’t get myself woken up fully… First I need to see Noiverns wing. Thanks for the tea Gardevoir.” she mutters as she finishes the rest of it off, moving to sit the cup and saucer in the sink.

Making her way to the guest room she pressed the door open and closed it behind her. “Noiiivern… you awake buddy?” trying to peer through the darkness she only caught the shadowy silhouette of the dragon type laying out on the bed “I need to check your wing to make sure that the cut in the membrane has healed any. I’m turning on the lights so close your eyes.”

Fumbling around for the lightswitch on the wall she flicked it on, making the purple and black bat flinch, grumbling softly as he lifted his head up enough to slowly blink at her, one eye after the other. “Hey there big guy, how ya feelin? Sorry for waking you up but I’ve gotta check the boo-boo.”

Grunting the bat gave a wide fang filled yawn, lazily stretching out his left wing, showing the 3 inch cut in the membrane around the bottom length of his wing, it had already started mending and was barely more than a nick for him at this point. “Ahh sweet, super potion for the win, am I right?” she asks, offering a happy smile.

Noivern only returned a terribly sleepy look, grunting as he looked up at the light and then back at her. “Berhmm…”

“Right sorry, I know it’s early, just checking on you buddy.” she says, crossing the room to hug her arms around his neck, getting a half little nuzzle against her cheek. “Glad to have you back too… sorry again for how things have been for the last few months… you’re not mad at me right?”

Again he gave her a slow blink, promptly licking her face with a soft grumble. “Pfft blehk! Ok I get it, you can go back to sleep, just trying to check on you ya big lug.” she sputters, wiping her face. He never really had been a morning person so she had expected as much from him. “Love ya buddy, hope you rest well.”

As she closed the door to the guest room behind her she couldn’t help but sigh, it was nice to see that the time her pokemon had been away they hadn’t lost any of the affection they had for her, still a sassy bunch but she was happy about that. “Gotta make a trip to Hoenn to get Milotic and Ampharos back from professor Elm.”

Crossing through the living room she paused to give Gardevoir a little kiss on the head as she passed by. “I’m getting in the shower now, might sleep more after that I don’t know.”

That’s fine master, the towels are in the top cabinet, I folded them and put them away this morning.

“Oh my god thank you, thought I’d have to go rooting around through the trashbag to find one, you’re the best.” she says, petting her head. “Don’t let the boys cause any trouble if they get up while I’m in there, you’re in charge.” she says, continuing on to the bathroom.

Getting stripped out of her pajamas Emily went about getting her teeth brushed, lazily looking over herself in the mirror. Besides a couple bruises from moving stuff around she still seemed the same. Giving one of her boobs a lazy squeeze she sighs, cleaning her toothbrush and tossing it back into its cup on the sink.

Getting the shower going she got herself washed and scrubbed down, being careful around her sensitive folds, looking back to the door through the privacy glass of her shower she took a deep breath, shivering as she rubs her fingers gently along her rather sensitive clit, biting her lip she gave another glance at the door. “Fuck it.”

Sitting herself down on the floor of the shower she turned the temperature of the water up, leaning back to get herself in a nice and comfortable position. One hand gently caressed over her breast while the other returned between her legs, parting her folds carefully.

Her fingers delicately traced along the edges of her tender flesh, gently massaging around her clit. Letting her mind wander she shivers as a strong and kindly gentleman carried her to his room and shoved her over the edge of his bed. Hooking his fingers along the waistband of her pants he yanked them and her panties down enough to give him room to work, a firm hand slapped across her cheek drawing a firm shiver over her body.

Dipping her fingers inside of herself her breathing picked up as the gentleman leaned over her body, his hands rubbing up along her back under her shirt, pressing the fabric up to expose her back to the room, only for him to give a lovely scratch down her back, making it arch as a little squeak slipped from her.

His hands grabbed her around her sides and yanked her back, grinding himself against her bare ass. Cheeks reddening Emily bit her lip, trying to keep quiet as she returned her attention to her clit. The man pinned her firmly to the bed, his claws gently scratching at her as the sound of his zipper made her heart skip.

His hardness prodded at her soaked folds, delving deep into her without care or remorse, drawing another blissful squeak from her. Huffing she cupped a hand over her mouth, moaning into it as the man began to lay into her, his heavy breath painting the back of her neck as his warm fur tickled along her back.

Trembling she squeezed her eyes shut, rubbing more firmly over herself as her fantasy began to spiral, a soft growl rumbled behind her as strong paws hugged around her hips, pulling her back into a firm thrust, teeth prickled the back of her neck in a love bite as her body was rocked against the bed with firm thrusts that nearly knocked the wind from her.

Shaking she clenched up, insides gripping and squeezing frantically as she was bred proper, trapped beneath warm fur and a strong grip she could not escape. Finally with one final powerful thrust a roaring growl erupted in her mind, bringing with it an explosion of euphoria that was nearly too much for her to bear.

Squirming around on the floor of the shower Emily clamped a hand around her mouth, muffling a scream of ecstasy, her fingers desperately rubbed over her throbbing clit as she was treated to possibly the most intense climax of her life. When the stimulation got too much to handle she cupped her hand protectively over her soaked folds, trembling and shaking as the orgasm ran through her like bolts of lightning.

Her ears were ringing as her whole body felt overwhelmingly sensitive to the touch, her heart pounded in her chest and all she could do to alleviate the pleasure was to uncurl from her fetal position. “F-Fucking… shit…”

Sitting herself up she shivers all over, looking at the goo between her fingers as it was quickly washed away in the shower. Groaning out in frustration she laid back in the shower, catching her breath as the mental image rolled through her mind.

That fantasy like many others she had before started out normally, only to turn into something different, something new and bestial that made her question herself. “The fuck is wrong with me?” she groans, bringing her hands to cover her face.

Turning the water off to the shower she fetched a towel from the cabinet, grumbling as she dried her hair. She knew it was wrong, people weren't supposed to have thoughts like that about their pokemon or any pokemon for that matter, and yet ever since that stupid kiss she gave to Ty it had been an ongoing issue that only seemed to be getting worse the longer she went without addressing it.

Drying off her body she gently dabbed her groin, still too sensitive to rub otherwise she risked collapsing in another orgasm. Staring herself down in the mirror she sighs heavily “So fucking stupid… Why do you gotta do this to me brain? Just go back to being normal alright? I mean come on man, getting into some freaky shit on me in the middle of all that? Not fucking cool.”

As she finished drying off she leaned against the bathroom sink she tried to compose herself. It was a bittersweet feeling, granted it wasn’t the fantasy she wanted stupidly enough it worked, though she would have really preferred it had not worked so incredibly well. “Shit man… probably the fastest I’ve ever gotten off before… I need to talk to a shrink or somethin.”

Keeping the towel wrapped around herself she left the bathroom in defeat, making her way back to her room before simply collapsing face first into bed. More sleep would help and do her good, she just needed to get more sleep to let this whole thing blow over in her mind, not like it would be hard after popping off as hard as she had. She didn’t care that her hair was still damp or that Ty was still passed out in the bed, he had seen her naked before.

Snuggling up to the overgrown badger she sighs, hiding her face in his chest fluff as she tugged one of his arms up and over her, getting pulled into a soft and comforting hug.

Shifting in the bed for a few minutes, she grunts in frustration, trying to get herself comfortable in the grasp of her partner, only to huff, laying there in the silence of the room, listening to the rain pecking against the window and the steady heartbeat thumping in Ty’s chest.

Holding a hand against his chest she stares into the soft cream colored fur, feeling over it as her partner snored softly. Ty had always been a deep sleeper, able to sleep just about anywhere comfortably with all that fluff of his so she wasn’t too worried about waking him up.

“Well… had a weird fantasy about you in the shower I guess…” she mutters, burying her face in his chest fluff. “I don’t get what the appeal is, I mean you’re an animal… but then again you’re smart enough to understand me… hold a conversation, have complex thoughts and emotions… hell Gardevoir can translate for you, you’re just a guy who can’t talk.” she mutters as she pet over his chest.

“Why am I even thinking about this?” she mutters to herself, sighing out into his chestfluff, trying to settle her mind as she just laid there with her eyes closed.

After a bit of a struggle she managed to fall back asleep for a couple of hours, only to be startled right back awake as the bed shifted rather abruptly. The fluffy warmth engulfing her was gone and was replaced with what could only be described as a bark of surprise and a loud thump on the floor.

Sitting herself upright Emily looked around urgently, slowly blinking the sleep from her eyes as she leaned over to the edge of the bed seeing Ty sprawled out on the floor looking dazed and embarrassed. “Wha happened? You alright Ty?”

“B-Baaa!! Bakkoooo!!!” he cries out, abruptly covering his eyes with his paws and turning his head, pointing at her.

Looking over herself Emily groaned in frustration. “Ty you dumb ass, you’ve seen me naked loads of times, come on man, scared the shit out of me! I was having some good sleep too.” she says, pressing herself up and out of the bed with a big stretch.

Getting dressed for the day Emily smirked a little looking over at Ty as he gave her a squinty eyed look. “Stop giving me the stink eye ya big baby, not like it’s the first time you’ve seen my tits and vagina before.” she chuckles.

“Baakooo.” he grumbled plainly lifting his paw to give her the best middle finger he could.

“Aww, did waking up beside a naked lady shiver your timbers? I didn’t have the energy to put my pajama’s back on, bud. I woke up stupid early, checked on everyone, had a shower and passed back out here.”

“Bak-Bakkoo!” Ty stated bluntly, motioning a paw at her before folding his arms and turned his nose up.

“Aww so it’s like that yea? Gonna pout about it, that’s fine.” she says as she looks over her phone. “Guess you can stay here today while I fly out to Goldenrod.”

“Bak?” he questioned, fixing her with a single condescending eye.

“Well Daisy is getting insemination today, you remember that right?” she asks, holding her phone up, typing on it. “Well, I didn’t know it was gonna be today exactly cause he didn’t tell me before when it was gonna happen, but that’s today apparently, Redgie just messaged me like twenty minutes ago… where do you think we’ll be going to have that done?”

Ty gave her a confused look for a moment only for his eyes to nearly bug out of his head. “B-baah? B-bakkoo!!?”

“Heheh, yeah the Daycare, buuut if you want to turn your nose up and be a little brat about everything you can stay here and watch the house for me, I mean I should leave at least one of you guys here to make sure that everything stays nice and safe.” she says, giving him an amused side eye.

Blushing Ty rubs the side of his neck, offering her an apologetic nod. “B-Bakoo, Baah!” he chimes, motioning her over with a nod of his head. “Bakoo!”

“I have no idea what you’re saying, but I know for a fact right now you’re being a kiss ass.” she chuckles as Ty clasps his paws together and whines. “Hehehe ok, ok no need to beg me big guy, you’re goin with me, I was just teasing you.”

Clenching his fists Ty gave a loud cheerful bark, letting the flames around his collar erupt in a display of excitement, however he winced and quickly extinguished them, rubbing his scarred shoulder with an apologetic look.

“You dumbass!” Emily snipped at him, sighing as she chuckled. “Cool your jets before you hurt yourself again, and don’t go thinking that I’m giving you free reign of the ladies there, the pageants and contests are just next week and I know for a fact there’s gonna be some pretty ones there, buuut we aren't there to get your pickle tickled, going there to be supportive for Redgie and Daisy.”

Whining out Ty gave her a pleading look. “Baaakoooooooo!” he whines, looking teary eyed as he flopped on the floor.

Sighing, Emily shrugs. “What the heck am I gonna do with you? Come on ya big baby, let's get some breakfast before we head out… actually we’ll stop somewhere and get breakfast, I don’t have any food here at all… I’m gonna go ahead and make that order up really quick before we go.”

Laying face down on the floor Ty whined out, throwing probably one of the weakest tantrums that Emily had seen. “Yeah I know buddy, I’m an unforgivable monster.”

Going about getting her backpack situated Emily grabbed her coat from the rack by the front door, pulling it on before picking up her backpack. Getting all of her pokemon recalled into their balls, she left the house with Noivern daintily squeezing through the front door. “Buddy, are you sure you’re going to be ok flying with that wing injury? I don’t want it ripping mid flight on us.”

“Rerraah!” Fanning his wings out with a bit of a stretch, Noivern took off and into the rain with a powerful flap of his wings, soaring around before he landed with a splash of mud, giving a rather confident grumble as he posed for her.

“Yeah yeah, you’re a pretty boy, no need to show off I’m already impressed.” she chuckles, moving to give his chest a pat. “Just make sure to let me know if it’s too much, I can call and see if Redgie can come by and pick me up.”

Grumbling Noivern gave her a confident smirk, nodding for her to get on his back before lowering himself enough to help her. “Alright Mr confident, I’m just saying I don’t want you getting hurt.”

Clamoring onto his back, Emily held on to the fluffy mane along the back of his neck, giving him a little tap with her heel. “Hyet!”

Flaring out his wings, Noivern took off with a few powerful flaps of his wings, angling up and through the air with a powerful burst of speed.

The flight to Goldenrod wasn’t a terribly long one, 20 minutes at the most. Angling himself around, Noivern flapped his wings hard, landing outside the city limits with a splash of mud and water, making him grumble as he shook himself out.

“Gaaah easy you dick I’m back here!” Emily shouts, nearly having been thrown off of him. Getting an embarrassed apologetic grumble she carefully climbed down from his side, getting a few surprise licks to the face. “”Bleh gaah not in the mouth! It’s ok you knucklehead.” she chuckles, giving him a hug and a pat before she moves to check the injury on his wing. “Still good? Let me have a look-see”

Holding up his wing he looked over the red and inflamed cut, giving a firm and confident nod, however that confidence melted as a super potion was sprayed over the cut making him squeak out in pain, shaking his wing and blowing over it with a whine.

“Sorry buddy, I don’t want it to get infected or anything, come on, back in your ball.” Emily says, recalling him, stuffing the rest of the orange poultice back into her bag. “It just had to be a rainy and muddy day today, didn't it?”

Walking along the route she stayed close to the river, smiling happily as she watched the clouds roll by lazily. It felt good to get out of the house, even if it was raining and a little muddy.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket making her pause. Pulling it out she checked the screen before accepting the call. “Hello?”

“Girl where the hell you at!? I’m getting ready to cut and head back home man! This is so freakin stressful I don’t know if I should go through with this or not!” Redgie cried out in a panic.

“Redgie take a deep breath my guy, not like you’re gonna be holding her hand for any of this dude, it’s a simple insemination stop being a little bitch about it man.” Emily retorts as she walks. “I just landed on the edge of the city and I’m on my way, shouldn’t be more than a few minutes.”

“My baby is gonna get hurt or somethin I just know it! Oh my god this is so fucked up man!!”

Holding the phone away from her ear Emily snerked, trying to refrain from laughing. “Hey Redgie, everything’s gonna be alright, just get you some water and pet Daisy until I get there alright? I promise everything’s gonna be ok.” Hanging up the phone she shook her head. “Damn man it’s just a little tube.”

Picking up her pace Emily hurried along the route, coming to a slow stop as she got to the daycare center. It was an older style of building with long rolling fields and forests that were fenced off. The elderly couple that worked there were very kind and loved looking after pokemon, they had even expanded over the years to provide grooming services. Emily was very fond of them for letting her have a place to stay in her youth the first time she had passed through the area before the team rocket incident with the radio tower. She had since then made it a frequent endeavor to stop by to check on them and see how things were going, it helped that her mom was actually good friends with them for as long as Emily could remember.

Making her way inside the main building she stomped her feet off on the welcome mat, not wanting to trail any mud inside.

“Hello! Welcome to the daycare!” a younger woman greeted her with a friendly smile. “How can I help you today?” she spoke up, pausing as she looked at Emily only to gasp. “Y-You’re the pokemon league champion! Oh my gosh, welcome! Please come right on in! I’ll run and grab the owner.”

“Oh no, t-that won’t be nessisa- and she’s gone…” Shaking her head she wiped her feet a few more times before simply heading inside. The first thing she saw when she entered the daycare was a Serperior, the elegant serpent was using a vine to delicately eat a berry, keeping its nose turned up in a snooty posture, its scales had been polished to perfection and it looked to be incredibly healthy. “Woe… you’re a pretty snake.”

“Oh my goodness Yes!” A young rather fancily dressed boy spoke up, striking a pose beside the Serperior. “Stirling here is a 6 time contest winner, I believe a pokemon as stunning as him deserves a little more than simply being called a mhmm ‘pretty snake’”

Emily gave the boy a confused look before looking back up to the Serperior only to chuckle. “Sure kid whatever you say.” she says, passing by them much to the boy's dismay and frustration.

“How uncouth! Don’t you understand that you’re in the presence of a professional athlete? You should be grateful that a simple commoner like yourself even gets to lay eyes on such a magnificent purebred of a pokemon!”

Regarding them both with an unimpressed look Emily shook her head. “Yeah sure whatever, hey have you seen a guy around here crying? Maybe holding onto a Flygon? I’m here for him actually so if you could stop with… whatever that is I’d appreciate it.”

The boy's face got rather red with rage. “I beg your pardon? Are you mocking me and my pokemon?! I’ll have you know that-” he began before Emily simply turned and continued walking.

“A simple ‘no I haven’t seen him’ would suffice kid, don’t worry about it I’ll find them. Thank you though.” she interrupted him, looking around the lobby as she continued over and into the waiting area without giving him a second thought. “Snooty pricks are gonna be all over the place here… why did it have to be today of all days?” she mutters to herself, pulling up her phone to begin texting Redgie to see where he was at.

A green blur launched out across the room snapping against her hand making her drop her phone to the floor with a loud crack. Wincing she shook her hand, looking over the deep red welk forming along the back of her hand and her wrist. Turning her attention back on the snooty rich kid, his face was as red as a tomato at this point. “How dare you! I’ll not stand by idly while you insult me! I challenge you ma’am to a pokemon battle!”

Looking over her hand Emily balled her hand into a fist, reaching down to pick up her phone. “What’s your problem, you snooty little shit? Challenge me if you want, but you sick your friggen snake on me again and we’re gonna have a very serious problem.”

“How rude! You think I’m going to be intimidated by some commoner!? Sterling and I demand perfection and respect, and you will show us the respect we deserve!” he stated firmly.

Looking over her shoulder she checked the time on her phone, wiping the screen off to make sure it wasn’t broken. “You know what… fine… Alright kid, you wana make an ass out of yourself then fine. Let’s take this outside.”

“Hmmph! Like you could best my pokemon with whatever drabble you may have tucked in that belt of yours.”

Making her way outside Emilly sent Redgie a quick text about what was going on. “Kid, I’m not in the best moods today, and I’m trying to be a good person when I say this is your last chance to back out, I’m not paying for any medical fee’s or grooming fee’s you may have already put into your snake.” she says as she walks a little ways away from the daycare.

“Shut your filthy mouth and call out your first pokemon! I’ll be done with you in a few minutes at the most, and then you can grovel at my feet and beg for my forgiveness!” the boy stated firmly. “Sterling, let’s teach this rabble how she is supposed to treat her betters!”

Reaching for her belt Emily touched Ty’s ball only to pause, taking a quick little breath before she rested on Noiverns. “Betters huh? Alright then you little brat, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” she said calmly, tossing Noivern's ball out.

Noivern blinked and the light around him faded, looking around confused until he saw the Serperior before him. Perking his big ears he looked back at Emily with a confused trill.

Emily shrugged her shoulders, lifting her arm to show the red whelk along her hand and wrist before pointing as the Serperior. Noivern's happy demeanor shifted, taking on a much more sinister one as he posed up, flaring his wings out with a cold look of confidence and a deep threatening growl.

“What a disgusting looking creature! Of course the pokemon is only as impressive and beautiful as its trainer. Sterling use Vinewhip!”

Noivern looked back at Emily who in return said nothing. Green vines stretched out from the Serperior and whipped firmly along Noiverns body, making him flinch, holding his wings up in a defensive posture.

“Aren’t you going to instruct your pokemon on how to battle? Do you even know how a pokemon battle works you imbicile?” the boy asks with a smug grin, watching the vines lash against Noivern's wings again and again. “Don’t blame me if your pokemon gets hurt! Sterling, Mega Drain!”

Stopping its flurry of whips, the Serperior in turn shot a green glowing beam that wrapped around Noivern's body, draining energy from him before returning to the serpent.

Noivern held his defensive posture, unblinking and unmoving, looking back over his shoulder at Emily who in turn said nothing once again.

“I don’t believe it, what a stupid trainer! This is going to be the easiest victory ever, even the help pust up more of a fight than you do! Sterling, why don’t we teach this ignorant trainer a lesson! Finish it off with a Leaf Blade!”

The Serperior’s tail glowed brightly as it charged, launching itself at Noivern with a sharp twist of its body, bringing its tail around for a very heavy strike against Noiverns head.

“Hah! That's Victory For Us! The boy chimed confidently.

“Boomburst.” Emily stated plainly. Noivern spread his wings, bracing them firmly on the ground as the center of his ears glowed a blinding white, aiming it directly at the Serperior that was still falling from its attack. With a near deafening explosion of soundwaves, the Serperior was struck point blank with an intensity that stopped its descent completely, picking it back up into the air before launching it flying across the field, skipping and tumbling through the mud and rain until it came to a stop in a writhing heap on the ground.

The boy stood rather speechless, turning to see his Serperior completely laid out, trembling from the intinsity of the attack. “W-What? What just happened?”

“Your move, call out your next pokemon.” Emily stated as she held an unfazed look. “Don’t make me wait… call them out.”

“T-That’s… not possible! T-Those were direct attacks. How can… that thing still be standing?!”

“Direct attacks? You may of hit him, but they were so weak they hardly had any effect at all.” She stated leaving Noivern to give a deep rumbling growl. “I ain’t a novice trainer, I could tell right away that your pokemon was built for show, it’s probably never had a serious battle before against a much stronger opponent. The way it moved was too flashy with no weight behind its strikes.” she says, holding up her hand to show the whelk she had recieved. “Didn’t even break my skin with its crappy vine whip, you think I need to worry about it attacking my Noivern? He could eat a dozen of those before he would even begin to falter.”

The boy looked visibly shaken, looking back at Serperior desperately. “C-Come on Sterling get up! You can still win this!” he says, gritting his teeth as the superior grimaced, trying to move only to fall face first back in the mud. “S-Sterling?”

“Forget it, he’s done.” Emily says firmly as she folded her arms. “Pampered pokemon have no place on the battlefield kid, nor do sniveling little pricks who make their pokemon attack people, I’ve got no compassion or kindness for assholes like that… now call out your next pokemon!”

The boy grimaced, glaring at her before looking back at Serperior as he lay unconscious and completely dazed in the mud.

“Am I to assume that's the only pokemon you've got? Well I guess that means I’m the winner this time.” Emily says, crossing the field with a little pat over Noiverns side. “Hey rich boy, I think you owe me an apology, and some money for the inconvenience.”

Looking stunned the trainer recalled his pokemon, looking over its ball and then back at Emily with a hateful look. “I-I’ll see to it that my father hears about this you brute! Picking on a young trainer like this and assaulting his pokemon!”

Noivern gave a threatening growl, making the boy tense up, nearly dropping his pokeball as he fell back into the mud with a splat. “Fat chance, the daycare has cameras that caught all of that… besides those are the rules of battling kid. One winner and one looser, looser pays up. This isn’t a beauty contest where the shiniest coat and the flashiest move wins the show, this is about pitting strength against strength, and it just so happens I wasn’t the easy pickings you thought I was.” she says, holding her hand out to him. “Now then, shut up, pay up, and run along back to daddy.”

Gritting his teeth the boy scoffs, not giving her a glance as he pressed himself up and out of the mud. Fumbling around in his pockets he slapped a wad of money into her hand. “T-This isn’t the last time you’ll be hearing from me! If Iris wasn’t getting her treatment then this would have turned out a lot differently!”

“I don’t give a shit what else you've gotta say, take your pokemon to the pokemon center and stop picking fights with people, or I’m gonna smack the piss you” she stated plainly making the boy hesitate. “Beat it!” she snipped, making him jump, stomping away cursing under his breath.

Noivern growled protectively nuzzling Emily’s cheek, giving her a few affectionate licks. “I’m alright big guy… you ok? You took that straight to the skull, surprised you didn’t even wobble, could of dodged it and still look cool ya know. I'm guessing all that working out with the construction companies got you pretty tough yeah? Or you’re just as thick headed as normal.” she chuckles as she pats his cheek.

Whimpering, Noivern nuzzled her arm, giving a few licks over the red whelk on her hand. “Aww come on big guy, I’m alright.” she says, hugging her arms around his neck. “Could have held back just a little bit though, not the snake's fault his trainers a total douchebag." she says, getting an apologetic grumble from him. “Come on, we’ve wasted enough time with this, Redgie’s gonna have a heart attack if we don’t get in there with him soon.” she says with a smile, recalling him back into his ball.

Getting back inside the daycare Emily was greeted with a few looks of awe from the other trainers. Smiling nervously, she gave a wave. “Hello, sorry not up for pictures or any other battles, here for a friend right now and nothing else.”

“Well now, I must say you’ve gotten a fair bit tougher since the last time I saw you dear. Taller too.” an elderly gentleman spoke up, smiling as he approached her.

“Mr Shellby! It’s so good to see you, hey!” Emily chimes, taking the older man's hand in a gentle shake, pulling him into a firm hug. “It’s been a long time, I’m glad to see that you and the Misses are doing well for yourselves.

“Oh yes, everything has been going splendidly as of late, it’s good to see you around here again. I remember the first time you came through here when you were just a youngin, knocking on the door soaked through from the rain and dirty as all get. What can I do for ya today, are you here to have your pokemon looked after?” he asks, pulling back from the hug.

“Heheh no, I’m actually here to be emotional support for Redgie, he’s uhhh… his pokemon is getting a uhhh… treatment today to put it politely."

“Oooh that fellah, he’s in the doctors office right now, pore guy looks like he’s about to kill over, come with me little lady and I’ll take ya on back there to sit with him.”

“Thanks Mr Shellby, you’re the best, I wasn’t expecting the appointment to be today with all the rain and stuff.” Emily chuckles, following after the elderly gentleman.

“The lad has always been terrible with giving dates and times to things, I’m just glad to see you two know where to go to get the best bang for your buck.” the elderly man chimed with a smile.

“Yeah well you’re friends of the family, and mom always said that it was good to shop locally first. Besides, I like the soaps and stuff you use here, they smell really good.”

Following him behind the counter the elderly man led her through the back hallways to a large examination room, Redgie was sitting off to the side looking a little frantic while petting over Daisy’s head. “Here ya are, the doctor will be in shortly, just have to get everything thawed out and inspected first.”

“Thanks Mr Shellby.” Emily says, watching him go with a smile, as soon as the door closed she sighed. “God I fucking hate thee’se snoody little fucking piss ants!”

“Damn girl dial it back a little, aint nothing to lose your wits over, just the rich folk trying to throw around their weight is all, I’m just surprised you actually got into a battle while you’re supposed to be here for me and Daisy.”

“Little prick had his pokemon snap the phone out of my hand, it fuckin hurt dude, pissed me off.” Emily retorts, lifting her arm to show him the red whelk, making her way over to have a seat beside him. “He’s lucky I didn’t slap the taste out of his mouth, the little asshole.”

Chuckling lightly, Redgie shook his head. “Yeah well, what can ya do? Slapping kids is kinda illegal, even for a name like yours… Did you win?”

“The fu- Yes I won, only took one shot and it was done. The guy greatly overestimated his pokemon, even tried to make it keep fighting after it was decided… he did pay well so I can’t really be too upset.”

“Aww weak, you’re taking money from kids? Oh how the mighty have fallen.” Redgie says, snickering as she elbowed him. “Hehehowe!”

Twitching her Antenna, Daisy looked up at Emily with big happy eyes, pretty sure they would be sparkling right now if it wasn’t for the red protective membrane covering them “Hey there Daisy, you excited for your big day?”

Trilling the flygon gave a pleased chime, leaning up to lick Emily’s face, making her sputter.

“Pfft Stoop! Why do you guys always aim for the mouth when you’re licking faces, come on man!” she chuckled, hooking an arm around Redgie to give him a side hug. “Come on buddy, it’s her big day, smile and be happy.”

“I-I know I’m just… shit’s hard bro, she’s my little girl, not sure I’m ready for her to grow up yet.”

“Well I mean she sort of is fully grown, has been for like 3 years now dude, you’ve gotta let her make her own decisions.” she says with a smile, patting him on the back. “Just gonna be a quick little insert with a tube and she’ll be done, a few months from now she’ll be a happy and proud momma, aint that right girl?”

Daisy chimed happily, waving and thumping her long tail against the floor.

“See, look how happy she is with that, you don’t want her to miss out on that right?” Emily asks.

Sighing Redgie looked off to the side, shaking his head. “No… I don’t… she’s done nothing but work her sweet little butt off for me, I want her to be as happy as possible, and if this is what she wants I get it… just… Do you think you could sit in here with her while it’s happening? I don’t wanna see all that but I don’t want her to be left alone for it either, and she does trust you a lot.”

Perking a brow Emily glanced at Daisy and then back up to Redgie. “You… want me to watch her get a tube shoved up her cooch?”

“W-What No!! Don’t say shit like that man come on damn! I mean like holding her hand or somethin! Ya know be her support! I’d freak out and call it off if I saw all that, but you’ve always got a pretty level head, I figured you could… you know, be there where I can’t.”

“You know I don’t mind helping out with anything that has to do with this sweet little lady, so long as you’re alright with it Daisy.”

The flygon fidgeted with a little blush, nodding her head happily as she gave an embarrassed trill.

“God you're an adorable, shy little lady. No worries Redge I can look after her, just go grab a drink or something and try to calm down alright? You’re as pale as a ghost.” she says snickering.

“That’s fucked up… kinda racist… only gonna let it slide cause it’s funny, don’t play with me right now girl.” he chuckles, giving Emily a nudge. “You play too much!”

“Yeah well you’re a fuckin mess right now man, you need some smiles and giggles… Daisy will be fine, I’ll stay with her, you go hang out in the waiting room, I’ll bring her to ya once everything is done… here you can take Ty if it makes you feel better, he’ll hug you and stuff, keep ya calm.” she says, pulling Ty’s ball off her belt, offering it to Redgie.

Sighing, Redgie took the ball, looking over it before he passed her Daisy’s ball in return. “Alright, thanks Emily, you’re the best… Daisy I’m just gonna be right outside in the waiting room, you be strong now for me ok? I love you sweetie.”

Daisy gave a happy trill in turn, watching Redgie get up and leave the room. Turning her attention on Emily she seemed to relax, giving her a worried look and a few questioning trills.

“Hmm? What’s up? Been putting on a brave face for him?” Emily asks, smiling as the dragon nodded frantically. “Everything is gonna be fine Daisy, I promise they do this sort of thing here all the time, you’re gonna do great, might be a little odd to have someone touching you down there, but it will be worth it in the end right?”

Covering her paws over her face she whines, shuffling to rest her head over Emily’s shoulder, giving her a firm hug and a crushing squeeze. Grunting Emily patted her shoulder, straining to speak. “It’s ok… you’ve got this girl… squishing me… can’t breathe… I’m dying.”

Pulling back from the hug Daisy gave Emily’s face a little nuzzle and an apologetic smile.

Petting over Daisy’s head Emily held her chest taking a few deep breaths. Looking over her face closely she leaned in, looking at the membrane around her eyes. “What’s that like? Looking through that all day, like I know it’s to keep your eyes safe from sand and stuff-” trailing off she lightly touches the soft red bubble like membrane, making Daisy blink, poking her tongue out at her in a playful little blep. “It’s crazy that you can see through this… like is everything just tented red for you or do you have like… nerves in your eyes that distorts the color red, makes it see through for you or something… really cool.”

Trilling Daizy smiles, leaning in to lick her face again making Emily sputter. Snickering the dragon curled up, resting her head in Emily’s lap.

“I am not a slobber receptacle ma’am!” she hums, petting over her head with a smile, leaning back in the seat as she looks over the ceiling as they wait.

It wouldn’t be too much longer before the door opened to a young nurse who was carrying a box and some packaging with her. “Hello! Is this little Miss Daisy? The chart says that she’s here for an artificial insemination?” she asks, making Daisy perk her head up, pinning her antenna back nervously.

“Ahh yes that’s right, should be under the name Redgie, her trainer stepped out, didn’t want to be here for the process, pretty sure the thought of it freaked him out.” Emily says petting over the dragon head. “That’s why I’m here.”

“That’s perfectly fine, just gonna let you know this is a little bit of an invasive procedure, I’ll be down here working with her privates obviously, do you know her temperament by any chance?” she asks, setting the supplies down on a rolling table that she brought over.

“She’s a sweetheart, bashful and shy around new people, also sort of why I’m in here, just gonna hold her hand and try to help distract her from the process… that’s ok right?”

“Awesome, that is perfectly fine with me, distractions are always good in these sorts of situations… Aren't you Emily Verner? Yeah you’re a pokemon champion that was on TV a little while back weren't you?” she asks pausing to look Emily over.

Putting on a forced smile Emily nods. “Yeah that’s me, not really in the game anymore so to speak but I’m still out and about causing mischief.” she says with a smile.

“Oh really? We saw you battling a trainer just outside a little while ago, a little one sided but I wouldn’t call that mischief.” she chuckles, going about looking over a clipboard, marking things down on it.

“Yeah sorry about that, that was more of a uhh… teaching someone a lesson about manners and respect, that fella seemed a little sheltered and entitled, thought that maybe with a little embarrassment he would learn from his mistakes.”

“Oh no honey you’re perfectly fine, that kid has had a mouth on him since the day he got here. He’s getting his pokemon groomed here for some big fashion tournament, and from what I’ve heard just a few minutes ago he’s having to have his Serperior groomed all over again for some strange reason.” she chuckles lightly. “But like you said, a lesson in manners. Really quick there are some things I need to talk about with you if that’s alright.”

“Oh uhh yea sure, I can tell Redgie anything that’s like really urgent, but getting a paper copy might be better since he’s a little scatter brained sometimes.” she says, patting Daisy’s neck. “It’s ok sweetie.”

“Oh no it’s nothing like that, just some things to expect during the insemination process, it can be a little intense for people experiencing it for the first time so I just want to make you aware of a few things since you’ll be in here for her support. Umm First of all like I said, I’m gonna be down here doing my thing, She may have different reactions to that, some don’t feel anything at all, some are relaxed through the whole procedure, sometimes they can be vocal from the stimulation needed to get everything opened up and receptive, just know that everything is a natural response for her. There’s not going to be any pain or anything like that… also I’ll be fixing her tail in some restraints just so I don’t get knocked around any, they are padded so nothing to worry about there… any questions so far?”

Blinking a few times Emily looked down to Daisy who returned the look with a deep sense of trust in her eyes. “I uhhh… no I completely understand, I’ve got her up on this end… you’re tails gonna be fastened down ok? Try not to jerk it around or anything.” she says, getting a few quick nods from Daisy.

“Fantastic, look at you a genuine pokemon whisperer, it’s rare to see a pokemon trusting someone so much besides their owners.” The nurse went about pulling restraints up from the floor to carefully fasten around Daisy’s tail as she spoke.

“Oh well I’ve known her for years actually, me and Redgie used to travel together all over the place, she was caught the third or fourth year into our journey I believe, that was nearly fifteen or sixteen years ago, can’t remember exactly.”

“Oh my, you two have been at this a really long time.” She says as she pulls the cart closer, giving Daisy’s hip a pat. “If you two are ready we can begin.”

“Yeah I’m ready? Are you ready to do this little lady?” Emily asks, getting a nervous trill from Daisy as she stands up as much as the restraints on her tail would allow, laying her head over Emily’s shoulder, and hugged her arms around the trainer's back. “Oh gosh, ok I’ll hold you, just don’t go clawing me up… you can work with her like this right? She’s really nervous.”

“Oh goodness yes, that’s actually a lot easier on me to move around.” she says as the sound of rubber gloves could be heard stretching over her hands. Emily couldn’t see much, not that she was sure she wanted too. Hugging her arms around Daisy’s neck she gave gentle pets along her shoulder as she braced her. “Just try thinking of positive things ok Daisy? It will all be over in just a few minutes.”

“Alright, lubrications going on… and here we go.” the nurse says, Daisy’s body tensed up as her tail tried to tuck, making her squeak in embarrassment. Emily petted her neck and her shoulder as she gave little grunts, twitching her wings a little here and there as the nurse moved about.

“See, not so bad, yeah? A little bit cold but that’s just a little downside.” Emily hums, giving her neck a few firm pats. “You’re doing good, just don’t squeeze me to death.”

“Well goodness… she is really tense… I’ll need to stimulate to help relax her cervix, just bear with me for a bit.” the nurse says, making Emily grunt, looking a touch nervous.

She had expected to be sitting in the waiting room with Redgie for all of this, not hugging the pokemon as she was getting worked on. Rolling her eyes she pats Daisy’s neck, only for a soft buzzing sound to make her perk up. Daizy’s body arched as she gave a sharp gasp, shivering as she squeezed Emily tight, gripping her back with her claws as she gave a squeaky whine.

“I know sweetie, but with you gripping down on everything so tight the tube can’t fit past your cervix, just try to take deep breaths and relax.” the Nurse spoke up over the sounds of the buzzing.

Daisy began to pant softly, her chest swelling and shrinking as she curled her long neck around Emily’s back, shivering as her hips arched and squirmed around from the feeling.

Swallowing hard Emily’s mouth went dry as she squeezed Daisy a little tighter, resting her head against the dragon's neck as she watched her hips buck and squirm around as the heavy pounding of her heart hammered in her chest faster and her breathing grew labored. “I-It’s ok girl, deep breaths, y-you’ve got this.” she stammered, swallowing hard.

Squirming and whimpering blissfully Daisy gave a sharp trill, arching her back as her body began to spasm and hitch up. Her wings spread out wide, twitching and buzzing sharply as her whole body convulsed, leaving her to go rather lax, huffing softly as her hold around Emily softened. “There we go… tubes in place, administering the dose now… you alright up there Emily? Didn’t startle you too much right?”

“I-I’m fine yeah, no worries. We’re all adults here, just part of the process, yeah? That’s a good girl Daisy, you did such a good job.” Emily hummed, blushing all the darker as Daisy let out a long blissful coo, looking a little pleasure drunk and red faced with her tongue hanging out like that.

Dear god did she just help Redgies pokemon get off? That was supposed to happen right? Like that wasn’t just some sort of perverted thing that happened at daycares it was part of the process, and why the fuck was that so arousing to her!? God Damn It!!. “That was uhhh… normal right? I think she may have uhh… popped.”

“Hmm? Oh yes, stimulation is required sometimes to help relax the cervix and stimulate uterine contractions, it helps improve the conception rate, sometimes if they are sensitive it can even make them release. It’s completely normal.” the nurse says as she shuffled around, acting like this was just another day at the office for her. “Alright, she is all plugged in, she’ll need to stay here for the night to make sure that everything takes properly.”

“A uhh.. a plug?” Emily asks, petting Daisy’s neck as the mon gives a goofy little giggle of exhaustion. “What do you mean? What kinda plug?”

“Oh well there are these tiny medicinal plugs made out of a fertility enhancer that we insert in the cervix that makes sure the sperm remains inside and doesn’t leak out, and over the next few days the body will break it down like any other medicine and it will get absorbed into the body to further help ensure that everything takes. It’s proven highly effective in reducing the amount of times patients need to come back in for another attempt, so far it’s been a one and done with all the procedures I’ve done here.” she says, placing the used equipment on the table, counting over everything before she covers it with a towel. “Alright, let’s get your tail unfastened so you can rest. Once her tails free, try to keep her laying if at all possible, don’t want her moving around too much, not for a little while.”

“Umm yeah… that’s fine, just uhh… do what you’ve gotta do I guess.” Emily says, petting over Daisy’s neck as the pokemon worked to catch her breath.

Once Daisy was free the nurse took the cart and began pushing it to the door. “I’ll be back in 15 minutes to move her to one of our rooms where she’ll be safe and warm until tomorrow.”

“Alright, thanks nurse… could you get Redgie… like when you’re on your way back, let her have time to uhhh…” trailing off she paused as Daisy let out a deep purring sigh, face still plastered with a goofy grin. “Uhh yeah, for her to calm down and not look like that, don’t think he could handle seeing her like this.”

“Oh umm yes of course, I’ll bring him back with me once I return with the paperwork, thanks for all your help Emily, you made things a lot easier.” she says, offering a friendly smile and a wave as she leaves the room.

“Yeah sure…no problem… well at least I know you’re happy right now.” Emily says, shivering as she felt the burning between her legs, that was stupid, now was not the time for that. “You uhh… you good?”

Trilling deeply Daisy pulled back, easing herself down, nuzzling firmly against Emily’s face, giving pleased little licks over her cheek. “Oh gosh, alright come on now, don’t be lickin me like that, you just got your rocks off… like I’m all down for after sex snuggles, but the licking’s a little much right now.” she chuckles lightly.

Hugging the Flygon she pets her, watching Daisy settle down and rest her head in her lap. There was a brief moment of pause before an intrusive nose nudged against her groin, making her tense up with a grunt. Daisy looked up at her with a look of surprise and a tilt of her head.

Fighting back the urge to scream and die all at once Emily rubbed the back of her neck. “I… don’t wana talk about that… lets uhhh… let’s just say that it’s been an interesting day of new experiences for everyone and leave it at that yeah?” she says feeling her face get a little too hot. “Things are a little strange for me right now, new fantasies and… urges and I’m… this apparently was arousing in a weird way ok? I wasn’t expecting to hold onto you while you were getting off and… yeah don’t breathe a word of this to any of the other pokemon please, I’m still trying to figure it out.”

Humming Daisy gave her a heartfelt smile and her face a nizzle, snuggling up to Emily as much as she could, making her grunt from the gentle squeeze. “Oh god… ok, I know, I appreciate you too… but for real this just stays between us ok? Please?”

Trilling the Flygon nods, resting her head back over Emily’s shoulder as her wings buzzed quickly behind her, leaving an almost angelic sound to fill the air.

As Daisy settled down and relaxed Emily took one of her large talons, carefully holding onto it as she petted her back. It was hard to imagine that claws so dangerous belonged to a pokemon that was so gentle.

The nurse came back into the room with Redgie in toe, holding the door open for him. “Here she is, everything went splendidly, no complications or fuss or anything.”

“Thank goodness, I was worried something bad would have happened to her, thank you nurse, you’re the best. You ok sweetie?” Redgie asks, hurrying over to hug his arms around Daisy’s neck as she sat up, getting an embarrassed trill from her.

“She has to stay here overnight, but you can come back and pick her up in the morning, eight a.m. being the earliest time.” the nurse says with a nod. “We’ll have someone along shortly to show you back out to the waiting room, we will need her pokeball too if that’s ok.”

“Uhh yeah sure, here it is.” Emily spoke up, moving to hand her pokeball over to the nurse. “Thanks again.”

“Oh no thank you, like I said you were a tremendous help keeping her steady for me.” The nurse says as she passes the stack of papers in her hands off to Redgie before she accepts the ball from Emily. “Alright, I’ll give you two a little more time with her before we take her back to rest for the night, let everything get settled in.” she chimes as she makes her way back out of the room.

“Geeze, so it’s actually happening now, yeah? In a couple of months time you’re gonna have some eggs and some new little Trapinches running around.” Redgie says, seeming relieved that the whole ordeal was finally done and over with.

Giving a happy coo Daisy nods, leaning over to nuzzle Emily’s cheek with a grateful trill and a few more licks to the cheek. “It’s not a problem sweetie, I’m always glad to help, even if it was just a tad bit awkward.” she says, getting a giggle from the dragon.

“Was it really though? I mean you two are kinda the same so it shouldn’t have been too strange for ya right?”

“What do you mean? Redgie just because we’re both gals doesn’t mean it’s not an awkward position to be in… all I’m saying is you owe me lunch.” Emily retorts as Redgie grumbles, rubbing the back of his head. “Did Ty give you any trouble?”

“Naah, Ty’s never any trouble for me, besides he’s too busy gawking over the other pokemon here getting pampered anyways.” Redgie says, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb as he offers her his ball.

“Yeah he does like it when the show pokemon are around, that’s why he is always really excited when we co-… Wait… Is he not with you right now? Tell me you didn’t let him run off on his own!”

“Whaat? He’s a big boy and can take care of himself, besides we’re at the daycare, not like he can get into any trouble while he’s here. You worry way too much!”

Groaning out in frustration Emily made a choking motion at him “I’m gonna beat you! You’re a good girl Daisy, I'll see you tomorrow!” Without waiting for much of a response Emily snatched the ball from his hand hurried out of the room.

“Wait Emily! Where are you going? Em!” Redgie called out for her as the door closed shut.

“Please don’t do anything stupid Ty, already had to beat up a kid today and I don’t want to go back out into the rain again cause you can’t keep your nose to yourself!” Muttering Emily hurried down the hallway back out to the waiting area, looking around a little frantically.

Ty was standing off to the side, bracing his paws against one of the viewing windows where trainers could watch their pokemon being groomed, mouth hanging open and his cheeks flushed. He looked stunned.

“There you are! Emily spoke up, hurrying over to his side with an embarrassed look. “At least you're in here and not rooting around where you’re not welcome… what is it?” she asks, leaning in to look through the window beside him.

In the room there was an elderly lady that was carefully brushing a conditioner along the back of what looked to be another typhlosions neck, however it looked a lot different than Ty. The blue typically along its back stretched around its neck in a lovely shade of dark purple and blue, little ghostly wisps seemed to emit from the vents along the back and front of its neck.

“Woe… the hell kind of Typhlosion is that?” Emily mutters, fumbling around in her pocket for her pokedex, aiming it at the creature to scan it.

~Typhlosion, the Ghost-Flame pokemon. This species of Typhlosion was native to the Sinnoh region nearly 300 years ago, thought to have been extinct. Scientists have discovered that under extremely delicate circumstances this variant can still be produced in captivity. Earliest recorded texts say that this pokemon could purify lost and forsaken souls with its ghostly flames and helped guide them to the afterlife, its power was believed to have been drawn from the ancient mountains in the Sinnoh region. Further data is inconclusive~

“No fuckin way…” Emily mutters, looking over her dex as she scrolls through the various lists of information. “And I thought Piko was special.” Looking up at Ty couldn’t help but snicker at his dumbfounded expression. “Hey bud, it’s sort of rude to just stare with your mouth hanging open like that… Ty!” she states snapping her fingers beside his head, making the overgrown badger jump.

“Baahkooo!” he yipped, looking down at her with a dark blush along his muzzle, rubbing the back of his head looking rather embarrassed.

“Yeah I know, they are really pretty, but still it’s not polite to stare.” Emily says, looking back over the other Typhlosion with a shake of her head. “Very pretty though… would totally suck if that turned out to be a guy ya know?” she teases, getting an unamused gruff from her pokemon.

“Oh-ho, I see you’ve spotted our rare guest.” Mr Shellby spoke up, holding his hands behind his back as he walked up beside Emily. “Isn’t she lovely? A rare sight to see I’m told, purebred from what we were told.”

“Oh.. so it is a female, that’s wild, I’ve never seen another Typhlosion like that before. She’s really pretty, who does she belong to?”

“Ahh well it’s funny you should ask that, I believe she belongs to the little brat that you battled out front a little while ago… Julian I believe his name was, he called this little lady Iris I believe.”

Tensing Emily pinched the bridge of her nose. “Of course she belongs to that little bastard… sorry about the fight, but to be fair he started it by making his Serperior whip the phone out of my hand, you know me I’m not to take that sort of insult laying down… also he made fun of my Noivern the little shit.”

Chuckling softly Mr Shellby moved to pat Emily on the back. “Yes, yes I know, you’ve always been a little spitfire ever since you were a little girl just like your mother, but sometimes that's just what someone needs to learn a proper lesson. That being said, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind spending the night here with us at the Daycare.”

Taken back by his sudden offer Emily scratched the back of her head. “You want me to spend the night? How come?”

“Well you’ve always been a big help around here at the daycare whenever you stop by and I was hoping that I could ask a small favor of you. We're a bit shorthanded around here with all the contest pokemon and whatnot coming to get groomed and treated, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind helping out with some of the rotations tonight, just feeding the pokemon and filling up their water, doing a few rounds of the fences to make sure no one tries to break in or anything like that.”

Resting a hand on her hip Emily thought over it for a moment, turning her attention back to Ty. “Hmm… wasn’t expecting to spend the night somewhere tonight, I’ve got a house now over a little bit past moms place… then again I did lock up already, not like anyone’s gonna break in or anything.” she mutters in thought.

“If you’re busy with other things that’s alright, We just have a big day tomorrow and our night worker hasn’t shown up the past three nights. I'm having to cut into my sleep to do rounds every few hours and it’s starting to catch up to me.”

Rubbing the back of her neck Emily grunts. “That really does suck… well I guess if you’re gonna ask like that and twist my wrist on it I can stay for one night.” she retorts, getting a chuckle from the elderly man.

“A little guilt tripping never hurt anyone, but the question is can a mighty pokemon champion like yourself spare one single night to help out a couple of hard working, elderly folk?”

Rolling her eyes Emily smiled. “I guess it can’t be helped, I don't want you getting sick or anything from lack of sleep, that would make me look really bad.” she says as she shrugs.

“Well if it makes you feel any better I don’t mind fitting your pokemon in for a free grooming.”

“I thought you were super busy with all the contest and show Pokemon here, gramps!”

Shrugging the elderly man snickers. “Oh yes I know, all the more reason you should be grateful, all joking aside it would be nice to have you around again. I plan on paying you for your hard work if it’s any more of an incentive..”

Chuckling warmly Emily hugged an arm around his shoulder. “I would like that actually… to be honest being in that new house is a bit daunting on my own, even with my pokemon there it’s a little too new and quiet for me.”

“Your mother said as much on the phone, we have an open room for ya so you’re not sleepin in the barn this time around, one of the rooms in the labor housing is free, it was going to be for that fellah who was supposed to be doing the night rounds, but I’m pretty sure he isn’t coming at all, can’t get in touch with him on the phone and I’ve tried the last few nights, so it’s yours for now if you want.” he says as he smiles.

“That’s really cool of you Gramps, I’ll take it for tonight, but I’m not quite ready to settle into a steady job just yet just a heads up.” she says pointing at him. “The last few times I’ve helped out around here you’ve hinted at it, and now that I’m retired I don’t want you thinking you can just swoop in and change my mind.”

Mr Shellby gave her a squinted stare, chuckling softly as he held his hands up in defeat. “Oh alright you’ve got me, just can’t keep your feet propped up anywhere without starting to fidget can you? Ahh well the offer will always be there waiting for you Emily” he says, looking at Ty who was still gawking through the window. “Heheh, I see he still has a taste for the pretty ones.”

Giving Ty a flat look Emily couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah he does, not gonna be easy keeping him from making a fool of himself.” she mutters before shrugging.

“Ahh nonsense, he just needs to meet her is all.” Making his way over to the door heading into the grooming room he motioned them along. “Come on, I’m sure she’ll love to meet him too.”

Looking at Ty, Emily gave him a nudge. “Oi, come on you big lug, but don’t make an ass out of yourself or you’re staying in your ball the rest of the evening.”

Ty gave a grunt and a smoky snort, mocking her with a roll of his eyes.

Fallowing closely behind Mr Shellby, Emily couldn’t help but smile as they were shown to the stall. Iris gave a pleased trill as the older woman brushed along her shiny coat, following up with a blowdryer leaving the soft fur glistening and silky in the light of the room.

“How is she doing honey?” Mr Shellby spoke up, getting the older woman's attention.

Ms Shellby turned her attention to him briefly with a nod. “About as stunning as these old hands could make her dear. That stuff the kid brought with him is really something else, I ain’t seen a pokemon shine like this in a long time.”

“I’d say there isn’t much more that we can do for her other than a meal and a massage.” he says, patting Emily on the shoulder. “By the way, look who decided to come by for a visit today.”

Setting her brush and the blowdryer down Ms Shellby looked at Emily with a gasp. “Oh land sakes Emily! Is that you sweetheart?” she chimes, smiling as she hurried over and hugged her. “It’s been such a long time! Look at you, you’ve shot up like a weed!”

“Heheh hey Grandma, it’s really good to see you too.” Hugging the elderly woman in return Emily looked between her and the old man. “Your husband roped me into staying the night to watch the fences and spread some feed, hope you don’t mind it.”

“Awww honey no of course not, you’re always welcome here, I’ll never turn away an extra pair of helping hands like yours. And Ty sweetie aww, look how big you’ve gotten too!”

Ty gave a pleased trill as Ms Shellby gave him a hug, returning it carefully with an affectionate lick to her cheek. “Bahkooo!”

“Hmhmhmh, yes it’s good to see you too my dear, I see that everything with your shoulder has healed up nice and well.” she says giving the scar along his shoulder a pat. “You gave us quite a scare when we saw your match on T.V.. everything heal up ok for him?”

“Yeah well, for the most part at least… Not really able to use fire type attacks anymore because of the accident, but he’s still as tough as they come.” Emily smiles, giving Ty’s back a pat. “Still has an appetite like a trashcan though.”

“Ahh well, that can happen sometimes sadly, all that matters is this strapping young man is still with us today.” she says as she smiles.

Smiling as well, Emily turned her attention to Iris who was watching them like a hawk, it honestly made her jump seeing the vast difference she had compared to Ty. She had a softer expression up close and her ears weren't nearly as sharp as Ty’s were and seemed folded back a little more. She gave off an almost spooky vibe as she offered her a sly little smirk.

Ty looked at Iris with a bashful look, swallowing hard before he lifted a paw and offered a little greeting, or rather he would have if any noise came out of his mouth, grunting bashfully he cleared his throat, trying again only to mutter voice cracking “Bah”

Trilling softly Iris regarded him for a brief moment, looking him over as she walked over, leaning in to sniff towards him, the low ghostly flames around her collar sizzling as she gave him a little wink.

Ty shivered with a whine as he gave a goofy embarrassed smile, nearly toppling over. “Oh god Ty grow up.” Emily chuckles, giving him a pat on the back.

“Heheh looks to me like he’s a little smitten, still has that bashful nature of his I see, though he looks to be in good form.” Mr Shellby says as he nods. “Dear do you think we could maybe squeeze in time to look after Emily’s pokemon while she’s here tonight?”

“I don’t see why not, Iris here was the last on my list for the evening as it were, but I don’t mind giving her pokemon a good brushing and a bath. Especially if they’ve been out in the mud and rain today.”

“That’s really kind of you Grandma, I’ll help out of course, especially with Piko… I mean so long as I can keep Romeo here in check and not trying to make mischief.. Or babies.” Emily mutter under her breath.

Giving an embarrassed squeaky bark, Ty flailed his arms at her. “B-Baaah! Bahkooo!!”

“Don’t give me that attitude, I know you better than you think mister and I don’t wanna hear it!” Emily retorts, earning a ghostly little giggle from Iris. Blushing fiercely Ty whined with a cry face, hanging his head in defeat and embarrassment.

“Piko… that’s your Zoroark isn’t it? The fancy one with the wild white fur?” Ms Shellby asks as she smiles. “He shouldn’t be too much trouble with your help, thank you dear.”

“It’s no problem at all, I know everyone around here is busy and I can’t really say no to free grooming for all of my pokemon… well, the four that I have here with me now.” She says rubbing her neck. “Milotic and Ampharos are still in the Hoenn region helping Professor Elm out there with his research.”

“That’s a good thing, that fellow can’t stay in his lab for more than a few hours without going out into the wilds for something or another, a little extra protection is good for him.” Mr Shelby says as he nods. “Well that being said I’ll leave you to it, gonna take this little lady to get the special food her trainer left here for her. Come along Iris.”

“Yeah alright, I’m just gonna set my backpack and stuff down over here while I help you out, that ok grandma?” Emily asks, shrugging her backpack off to hold by the strap.

“Oh yes of course dear, no one's gonna bother your stuff over there” Ms Shellby says as she gives Ty a pat on the side. “We’ll start with you Ty, get that coat of yours nice and shiny

Whimpering in defeat Ty gave a weak nod. “Bakooo.” keeping his head hung he began to follow the elderly woman only to pause as Iris gently hooked her paw around his arm. “B-Bah?”

Trilling softly Iris leaned in to press a gentle nuzzle against Ty’s cheek, murring as she reached up to feel along the scar on his shoulder. “Baaahkoo~” her voice was as soft and quiet as a whisper, but whatever she had said left Ty as rigid as a board and as red in the face as a tamato berry as she passed by him.

Emily couldn’t help but snicker at his reaction as her pokemon swoon, leaving steam rolling from the vents along his back. “Ty? Ty easy on the vents buddy…”

“I think maybe it’s Iris you need to be worried about there Emily dear, that's a mischievous one for sure, I don’t doubt she’d snatch Ty up in a heartbeat if you took your eyes off of him for more than a second.”

“Apparently so… Ty buddy you gonna be ok?” Emily asks, looking over her pokemon as he looks over his paws, frantically trying to rub the embarrassed blush from his muzzle.

The rest of the day was spent taking meticulous care of all of her pokemon, getting them properly washed, groomed, and cleaned up, as well as some of the other chores around the daycare. By the time they had finished it was already starting to get dark outside, Emily rubbed the sweat from her head as she pet over Noiverns side, leaving him to give a pleased grumble.

“That’s a good boy, feel a lot better now yea? Getting a good brushing and scrubbing.”

Grumbling happily, Noivern padded off to the side, shaking himself out hard, flexing his wings and his ears with a relaxed and very happy look.

“I have to say, you’ve taken exceptional care of all your pokemon Emily, I’m glad to see there wasn’t all the much work that needed to be done.” Ms Shelby said as she rubbed over her hands. “Besides Piko of course, he was due for a good trimming.”

“Yeah I know, He’s not the easiest to keep still with sharp objects around, I’m surprised he was so calm and docile with you, normally he doesn’t like people touching him much at all besides me.”

“Aww he isn’t that bad sweetie, a little rough around the edges sure, but he’s just a big softie on the inside once you get past all of that.” she says as she looks over the scattered clipping of sur along the ground. “Well, you should get ready to have a rest before your rounds tonight, I’m going to see who I can rope into helping me get all this cleaned up.” she says poising to point at Emily. “And before you even offer no, you have rounds tonight so no more working around here for you.”

“B-But Grandma!” she whines looking over the mess on the floor. “It’s sort of my pokemons mess!”

“I don’t wanna hear it little missy, You’ve got a big enough task tonight with the fences and taking care of getting everyone fed and watered. Besides that’s why we have assistance here at the shelter. I want you to focus on getting some rest for now and take care of anything else you need to do before the stores in the city close for the day.”

Looking defeated Emily braced her hands on her hips. “Alright fine, I won’t bug you to help, I know better than that… but I don’t like it.”

“That’s alright sweetie, you’re a big girl, I’m sure you’ll be alright. Now then for tonight you’ll need to be back here by 10 p.m.. You don’t have to worry about the pokemon in the back. They'll be recalled into their balls so you don’t need to worry about them, I just want you to worry about getting the feed for the pokemon in the fields, and in the shelter. The pokemon in the fields drink from the river so they won’t need water, but the ones in the shelter will, most just stay in their pokeballs at night, but for the special cases that don’t it’s good to have them something to drink just in case.”

“Right, I gotcha. If nothing has changed since last time it should be a piece of cake, though I do need to go and get something to eat, I don't really have any groceries back at my place so I have not had a chance to get something.” she says with an embarrassed smile.

“Emily Noelle Verner! You go get you somethin ta eat right this second or I’ll tan your hide little lady!” Ms Shelby said firmly as she picked up a comb, acting like she was going to throw it at her.

“Gaah! I-I’m sorry! I-I’ve not even thought about it that much today! I-I got here and helped and it completely slipped my mind! I’m sorry!” she says shielding herself.

“Berhmm!!” Noivern cried out, throwing himself in front of Emily as the comb harmlessly pecked off his back.

“You! You take her to get somethin to eat right now or I’ll have an icebeam and a half waiting for you in the next three minutes!”

Noivern gave a loud whine and a cry face as he gently nudged Emily urgently towards the door. “Beerh!! Berrrhh!!!”

“Alright! We’re going!” Emily says, leaning down to scoop up the comb, setting it down on one of the nearby stylists tables, grabbing her backpack to pull on.

“Food is important little lady, and I expect you to take better care of yourself, living on your own or not. I'm not shy of giving you a paddling! Your mother would be furious if she found out!”

“I’m going grandma I’m going!” Emily cried out, recalling Noivern as she hurried towards the door. “Also thank you! I appreciate you and grandpa for letting me stay here for the night, love you guys!”

“Food Now!” Ms Shelby retorts giving her a glare, making Emily slip out of the room without another word, she knew better to mess with Ms Shelby when she was upset about something.
