This is another comissioned story from http://www.furaffinity.net/user/thegravekeeper/ please see his gallery ^^


The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, that's how the old saying goes...and yet, taking that first step can be such a daunting task. So many things can go wrong, events unknown and possibilities endless with no indication or warning to them...truly it is a frightening thing. Or at least it was to a certain young Pokemon who was literally sweating buckets in the bed of the inn he was staying at, his fur matted as the fear of the unknown was setting deep into his mind preventing him from finding any restful sleep, his mind a constant activity of what if scenarios and all the things that could befall him and his traveling partner...in fact he had almost made himself sick from worry a couple times as he closed his eyes and rolled onto his side, even if he didn't sleep he knew putting his body at rest was a wise move and so that is what he did until the sun rose the next morning. The young male managing to fall into a semblance of sleep for a few hours at least as a loud pounding came at his door to wake him followed by it being swung open by his traveling partner; "HEY! You going to waste the entire day in bed!? The suns already up!"

The young male looking up and gasping as his partner was staring directly at him; "S-Shina?! What in the world!? I'm not decent!!!" He screamed as he covered himself in the bed and hid from her making her smile to herself quickly. Shina was a Blaziken, an avian type Pokemon that held massive fighting capabilities, even more so due to the fact she was also an Amazonian. Shina stood at seven feet tall and weighed a solid one hundred eighty pounds of pure muscle with an hourglass figure and swathing hips and generous E cup breasts. Her fur was primarily red all over her body with white fluff on her ankles and legs which her most lethal instruments of pain as well as a magnificent plume of hair that trailed down to her shoulders, also colored white. Her eyes sparkled like the sky and she had a fiery and commanding disposition to her which contrasted her traveling partner like night and day. "So what, you getting up? Or do I have to make you Joshua?" She said getting a groan from the blankets; "Shina...you know I hate being called my full name...just Josh..." Shina smiling that she always got a rise out of him for saying that as he popped his head out and looked at her.

Joshua was a Braixen, the secondary evolution in his family tree. He only stood at five foot five inches tall and weighed a meager one hundred fifteen pounds, unlike Shina he wasn't built for physical combat but ruled in the psychic and magical traits...or at least he was supposed to. His second form isn't the most powerful and Joshua desperately wants to evolve, but was cursed with an Everstone that was embedded into his being by a rival in his youth and has been unsuccessful in removing it. Joshua's fur is typically yellow with black in his legs and white on his muzzle and arms making him a rather girly looking Pokemon which doesn't help his self-esteem issues for sure. Also his breeds defining trait are the massive tufts of fur coming from his ears, blazing red in color and quite puffy, in truth...Joshua looked WAY more feminine than he would've liked but what can you do? He sat up and asked her to leave so he could get ready, promising her he'd be out in twenty minutes, Shina tapping her foot but saying if he was even a second late she'd come in and drag him out, ready or not. Joshua hurrying as he knew she would do something like that and heading out to meet her as quickly as he could.

"About time Josh! Let's get this journey started already! Or don't you want to find out if that stone CAN be removed!?" Josh flaring at her a little; "Of COURSE I do! You think I like being like this!? Stuck in this...weak form, I'd do anything to evolve like you!" Shina remember those words as turned to face him in a simple leather covering that stretched from shoulder to shoulder and barely covered her large breasts with a simple belt and loincloth covering for her loins; "Alright, just keep that focus then, it's a long way and I don't want to hear any complaining." The two of them making out into the world with high hopes that their quest would be a successful one, what was this quest you ask? It was more of a personal one for Joshua with Shina more along to make sure nothing happened to him, though she would never let anything come to harm him but we'll discuss that relationship a little more in a little bit.

The reason for this journey goes back to when Josh was birthed seventeen years ago, for the first few years of his life things were perfectly fine, but one fateful night he was afflicted with a curse, the curse of an Everstone. This stone was implanted in him by a group of bullies in his village who constantly taunted and beat the lad, but one day Josh fought back and unleashed some of his magic on them, burning one of them in the process, not enough to cause lasting harm but enough for them to swear vengeance. And that came in the form of grabbing him one night and using an ancient ritual, embedding an Everstone deep in his body and thus preventing him from ever reaching his final evolution. Josh has been deeply distraught from that experience, knowing that he is trapped in a weaker from with many strong Pokemon out there that could do him harm and that's where Shina came into the picture.

Joshua had left home at the age of sixteen in an attempt to find a cure for himself with no luck and shortly after striking out was come upon by bandits. Josh having very little confidence in himself and finding himself at their mercy until Shina arrived and rescued him, being an Amazonian she was able to easily defend him and sent his enemies fleeing. When she asked him his age and if he was alright, his answer shocked her, surely he should've been in his final stage at this point in life, but when he explained why he was like this, she made a vow to protect and guard him until the curse could be lifted. Josh beyond grateful to have a traveling partner and for the last year the two had been chasing lead after lead with no success and in all honesty, Josh was beginning to become disheartened as the two made their way along a dirt road leading towards a mountain where an ancient monastery was located, having heard rumors of monks living within and hoping they would be able to help him. "Come on Josh! Quit dragging your heels!" She called showing her commanding personality making him scoff and pout; "Not everyone is a morning person like you Shina! And you're a whole foot and a half taller than me!" (Roughly but he made his point) Shina sighing as she slowed her pace only a little and let him catch up to her; "Whats wrong with you today? You're usually so eager to get going." Josh looking down at the ground and muttering; "It's none of your business..."

Shina gritting her teeth; "Well fine! Be a little brat! Forgive me for taking some concern in your mood! AGH!" She said as she stamped up ahead of him, even though she wanted the best for him, that little remark REALLY tested her patience with him, Josh seeing his mistake and catching up to her quickly; "Shina..." "WHAT!?" She nearly screamed making him pin his ears again; "I'm sorry...you're right that was rude of me." He said as she stopped and looked at him; "Shina...I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering if this quest is even possible anymore. We've been traveling for a year now and I'm still...trapped in this weak, pathetic form." He said making her turn to face him with a serious expression; "You stop telling yourself that." She said making him look at her; "Sure you're not in your final form yet, or maybe you won't ever be." (Well that's really helpful...) he thought as she continued; "But you are NOT weak, or have you forgotten those training sessions we've done?" Joshua looking at her with a moment of realization as he did recall those...

It was a long time ago, about eight months and the two had just come out of a ruin that they had searched top to bottom and found nothing that they thought would be there to help Josh. "Well what are we going to do now?" He asked her making her think and smile to herself; "Train." She said making him look at her funny; "Train? For what?" Shina holding her beak mouth a little and shaking her head; "Training to defend yourself idiot, what if I'm not around or there are more than I can handle to defend us both? You'll need to be able to fight too." Josh groaning a little; "But Shina, we've been over this, without my final form, I'm useless in a fight." Shina standing in a commanding way before him and speaking; "Since when was that the rule of the land? That final forms are the only means of strength? In my village we're taught to fight from birth, each form serving a purpose to make you stronger and rely on that, not the next chain in the link." Josh pouting a little; "Easy for you to say, raised in a warriors life and already in your top form..." Shina seeing she'd have to force him to fight and see her point as she cracked her knuckles and smiled at him; "Your wrong, it my experience that makes me strong...and it's high time you got some more!" Shina cried as she rushed the Braixen boy who grit his teeth and his eyes widened in shock as she approached with fists balled ready to strike.

"S-shina! WAIT!!!" He protested, but she wouldn't listen, she kept coming and he was forced to stand up and backstep her first blow. Shina not letting up and keeping the barrage of blows coming, throwing an occasional roundhouse kick in the mix which inadvertently showed Josh her nether region which made him blush and loose focus and allowed Shina to get a full power punch to his jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground. Josh moaned and groaned and Shina covered her mouth a little as she might have gone overboard; "H-hey, you're alright aren't you?" She asked a little timidly until she heard him growl and thrust his wand stick...thing at her, her eyes widening as she saw it glowing with his psychic power and enveloping her in it's energy. "Wha-what!?" She exclaimed as she was lifted into the air with Josh seeming to have snapped and looking at her with a cold, callus glare and his teeth grinding together that made her afraid for a moment, then Josh tightened his grip on his wand and Shina felt her body being compressed and tightened, like she was in a vice.

This made her grunt and groan as he looked to kill her! She had to act fast if she was to survive; "J-JOSHUA!!!" She screamed making him snap back to himself and seeing her in the air making him gasp and lower her to the ground, seeing her cough and rubbing her body to loosen it as he ran up to her; "I-I'm sorry Shina!" He said as she coughed a little and looked at him with a new found...it wasn't fear, nor was it respect...but a confidence for him you could say. She'd never seen such power from him before; "Tell me what happened..." She said making him tense up and start to cry a little; "I...I lost control and I almost...killed you." Shina able to stand up and looking down at him (Well at least he doesn't have that amnesia crap when it happens) She thought and smiled; "Still think you're weak?" She said with a soft tone making him gasp softly; "W-what? You can't expect me to think that's a good thing! I could really hurt someone!" Shina sighing; "That's not what I asked." Josh looking down a moment and whispering; "N-no..." Shina smiling; "All we have to do is train you to use that power, control it. I think it'd be good for you, boost your confidence."

"B-but you're not a psychic type, how could you help me?" He asked which was a valid point, but Shina smiled in a brazen way; "You think I haven't dealt with those types before? We had some mean ones back home and I know a thing or two that may prove useful. Now what do you say?" Josh thinking a minute before agreeing; "All right, lets do it." Shina smiling at him as the two began an intense training session, Shina taking more care this time not to rile his anger TOO much, she instead tried to ease him into that state, or at least learn how to manage it better. True she didn't know much about how to exactly help him, but basic breathing and focus drills did prove to be useful to Josh and within a short time (A week) he was already in much better control of his impressive powers, Shina praising his efforts and saying she was going to do some training of her own, saying he shouldn't stop just because she wasn't there to oversee every little step. Josh nodding and thanking her for her belief in him and smiling brightly, the first real smile he'd shown in quite some time and that Shina happier than he could know.

Shina had agreed to help him get past this evolution, but truth be told, she adored him in the cuter form he was in now, even developing a soft romance for him, but she couldn't tell him about it, at least not yet. Let him build his confidence first and gain some more experience from this journey, than maybe...she would get him to see her for who she was, a sexy female and not just some guardian. Joshua continuing to train and breathe, focusing his energies to control his natural fire abilities and even lifting various objects with his mind alone, nothing bigger than a small boulder right now though there were some bigger ones darted about, but Josh didn't want to push that back then.

It was true that Josh had gotten stronger since then, but even so he knew that more power was still out of his reach, Joshua desperately wanted to be rid of this form, reach his full potential but Shina had been very helpful to him just as she said she would. The two of them resuming their travels with Josh keeping decent pace with more of a smile on his face, the two traveling well into the day before deciding to take a break at a fork in the road; "Hey Josh, I'm going to get in some quick training alright? Stay right here and stay out of trouble okay?" Josh looking at her coyly; "Yes MOM..." He said with a smirk making Shina sigh but smile; "That's better, that's the little snot I know." she said making him smile back at her, the two of them having grown close enough to trade little quips like that as well as drawing them closer to each other than they both dared to admit. "Just be careful Shina alright?" He said making her nod; "I'll be back soon." She smiled before darting off to get some of her own training in, leaving Josh to sit on a rock and wait.

Shina leaving would prove to be a mistake however, as he was waiting for Shina to finish her solo training, he was happened upon by a wandering thief named Violet. Violet was one the more well known thief's throughout the land, having been in that profession for most of her twenty six years of life. She stood at five foot seven and weighed a decent one hundred thirty pounds of lean muscle, Violet wasn't overly curvaceous but she knew she was a looker with a decent set of hips and an impressive (though cumbersome at times she admitted) F cup chest. Violet was a Salazzle by nature which only helped her thievery skills, having a natural affinity for seduction and enchantment she could easily get what she wanted if caught and with her dark scales with purple accents, she could blend into the darkness with relative ease, her eyes were a standard purple color that she hid under her hooded garments. Violet seeing this young male on his own and watching him for a short time, finding him more and more enticing and deciding that she would own him.

But before she could make a move, Shina decided to come back (much quicker than expected) with a few cuts and bruises on her. Josh gasping a little and running over to her; "Shina! What happened!?" He exclaimed making her smile softly; "Overdid it a little, nothing to worry about though I'll be fine." Josh making her sit down as he dressed her wounds; "You shouldn't do that! What if you'd gotten hurt really bad!? Couldn't make it back to me or get help! You're too reckless Shina..." He berated her making Shina laugh a little as he fixed her up, Josh did care about her but only as a partner right now, yes he knew Shina was beautiful but he never expected her to look at him other than a friend. Violet watching the two from the trees and thinking of a way to separate the two of them so she could get the boy to herself, now Violet wasn't one to beat around the bush, so while they were both distracted by Shina's wounds, she drew a smoke bomb and tossed it between them, Shina gasping as it went off and Josh coughing as they were enveloped in black mist.

Violet then made her move, swift as a shadow she rushed in and grabbed Josh, cupping his mouth as she did so and darting off into the forest before Shina became aware of her. Josh having no idea what was going on as he was carried quite easily a good distance away from Shina and the path they were on to a cave where Violet had been hiding out, running deep inside through a myriad of tunnels to her den of sorts. She planted the braixon boy down and smiled at him; "Welcome boy, to my humble abode." She said in a half menacing but seductive tone, Josh still coughing from the bomb and opening one eye, getting a look around and at his captor; "W-who, are you?" He said through a cough making her bow, which showed a generous portion of her cleavage in the leather bustier she wore (Which was completely by design, Violet had to use her assets to escape capture on more than one occasion.) "You can call me, Mistress Violet." Josh coughing a little more; "M-mistress? What is that?" He asked in complete ignorance making Violet giggle (Oh he's naive!!! PERFECT!!!) She thought in glee at the chance to corrupt such a young boy.

"It means, you belong to me and will do what I say and in return, I may even let you play around with me." She said striking a provocative pose making Joshua blush and scamper back a little; "Now I never agreed to that!!!" He said making her lick her lips; "Who said you had a choice? Now come here and let me have a look at that young body." She said as she pulled her top off showing her massive breasts making Josh blush on reaction as she got on all fours and began to crawl towards him, her breasts swinging from side to side as she did so making Josh gulp; "N-now wait a minute! Can't we talk about this!?" He said making her lick her lips; "Why talk we can rut? I'm sure you'll be a natural at it, now show me that lower half of yours..." She said as she'd gotten right next to him and was pulling his shorts down and started to see the bulge of his cock making her blush and shudder softly as she stripped him naked.

But before she could do anything else, Shina burst into the cave and tackled Violet, Josh shocked as he saw only a blur of red and yellow whiz past his skull as Violet gasped and was rolled a good three feet back with Shina pummeling the ever loving snot out of her. Violet doing her best to right back but a Salazzle's strength is in it's speed and elusiveness not raw power and thus was quickly subdued by Shina who stood over her foe and kicked her once more; "Don't you ever steal what is mine!!!" She screamed turning to face Josh who looked up at her with a blush as she had lost her own top in the tussle and Josh was mesmerized by her breasts, Shina too looking at his cock for the first time and finding it to be much larger than she even imagined and blushing herself, Shina deciding to do something that she had always wanted to do as she went next to Josh and knelt beside him, cupping the back of his head and slamming her muzzle to his own. Josh was in shock as Shina forced him to make out with her, slipping her tongue into his maw and wrestling with his own, Josh moaning softly and without even meaning too, slipping his right hand on her bosom.

Shina gasping as she made out with Josh as he fondled her large breast, the Blaziken girl giving a soft moan as Josh's tongue wrestled with her own, his fingers gently caressing her flesh and fur making her spine tingle. The kiss was broken and Josh looked into Shina's eyes, seeing a love burning in them and in his heart he returned that gaze; "Shina..." He started to speak but she put a finger to his lips; "Don't talk...we both know what we want..." She said in a hushed tone as she slipped her nether covering off and pushed Josh onto his back and straddled his hips with ease and care, his throbbing cock pulsing and eager to delve into her tender folds. Josh was breathing fast and hard as this goddess he'd fallen for was about to impale herself on his dick, Shina blushing deeply as Josh looked much bigger than she'd ever thought but gripped his junk and guided it to her pussy. His head spreading her petals wide and eliciting a moan from her as she slowly sank her hips down onto his lap, Josh moaning at this as her pussy was so tight and warm, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the bliss of it all.

Shina biting her bottom lip as Josh filled her to the brim in dick, pushing deep into her sex as she slowly started to move her hips up and down on his shaft, squeezing her pussy muscles to really feel every vein of his cock. Josh couldn't speak at all, he was too enamored with what was happening, Shina was amazing, controlling exactly where she wanted him to go and how hard, her hands on his chest to support herself as she rode him. Shina's breasts bouncing softly as she ground her hips down against Josh, oh he was good, much better than she'd ever hoped as he slowly pushed up against her downward thrusts making her moan and gasp softly as she didn't want to alarm him, she didn't know how much sex he'd actually had before so she took things slow at first, Josh however was reaching a boiling point. He grabbed her arms suddenly and began to buck into her sex wildly making her gasp and tongue loll out as he was taking charge, completely overpowering her own desires as he grit his teeth and bucked up into her eager and waiting folds.

Shina was panting loudly now as Josh bucked her up and then pulled her back down onto his dick, their hips meeting in loud, wet slaps of sexual bliss that echoed in the cavern, each of them moaning and blushing as they were close to reaching their climax. Shina's teeth ground together and eyes cinched shut as she squeezed and gripped his cock with all her might, making him work that much harder to rut her, Josh welcoming this challenge as he put everything he had into plowing her until he gasped and grunted as he released his seed into his waiting partner. Shina howling in delight at having a male cum in her once more, and even happier that it was the man she secretly loved, moaning loudly as she felt him claim her womb. Shina fell onto him and breathed hard, nuzzling his face softly; "Th-that...was wonderful..." She moaned as Josh held her and rubbed her back gently; "Th-thank you Shina..." He said as the two rested a moment in their afterglow before standing up.

"So, what shall we do with her?" Shina asked as Violet hadn't moved in a bit, Josh going over to her and nudging her awake, Violet gasping and jumping away as she was surrounded by both of them now. "Why did you come after me?" He asked making Violet think quickly and then look at Shina who shot a sharp look making her sigh; "I...wanted to be with you, you looked so...worthy, of being my leader." She said making him look at her with questioning eyes as Shina didn't buy that; "I've been on my own for a long time, and something about you caught my gaze. I thought that if I made you claim me, you would keep me around, I see I was wrong...but would you have me anyway?" She asked with a somber gaze; "I would be of great use to you! I promise!" She said making Josh pull Shina aside to talk; "I don't see the harm do you? She did apologize after all..." He said making her bap his nose softly; "She's a thief you dolt, she's just saying what you want to hear! Let's just leave her, or better yet, off her." She said making Josh bap her nose this time; "That's not who we are Shina, and this is my journey and I say it's alright." Shina groaning but nodding softly as Josh went over to her and offered her clothes.

"You can come with us Violet." He said making her bow her head and thank him; "You won't regret this!" She said with a sly smile making Shina walk over to her; "I will be watching you though, give me one reason to think you'll betray us or hurt Joshua and I will KILL you." Violet smiling wryly; "Smart girl, though I promised to be a good girl and so I shall." She said as she quickly dressed and the three of them left the cave with Josh feeling a new level of confidence and Violet between him and Shina, her gaze always on the boy and thinking of ways to possibly seduce him herself, Shina glaring at the Salazzle and tensing her fists softly, she didn't trust her but if Josh did she would go along with it for now. Josh happy with his situation now as they headed towards his destination that hopefully would provide him the freedom to his curse.
