Individual characters are my own imaginening, and are not intended to be any part of main cannon / plotline.\u0026nbsp; Individual characters like Aaron, Song, Zin, etc, are my own creations, so please ask before using.\u0026nbsp; Thank you.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAuthor's Notes: I actually -WANT- to say something, but I won't.\u0026nbsp; It's just for the sad fact that I'm actually really excited of how things are turning out for this story.\u0026nbsp; Hopefully, everyone reading this will understand that, while I take locations from the world, this story has -nothing- to do with actual storylines that are present in either the anime, manga, or games.\u0026nbsp; At least, I'm trying to not make those the focus, and if they come up, only to be as a side note or purely coincidental.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nEither way... hopefully this doesn't dissapoint.\u0026nbsp; Third time writing sex.\u0026nbsp; Yes, I am counting.\u0026nbsp; No, I do not know who's next.\u0026nbsp; I picked this one on a whim, as it seemed to suit the story.\u0026nbsp; Tags... por que?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n--- Chapter 5: Haunting\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI woke up, surrounded in a red glow as sunlight filtered through the tent.\u0026nbsp; I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I yawned.\u0026nbsp; My stomach rumbled, the need for food quickly coming to my mind.\u0026nbsp; I ignored it for the moment as I looked around, seeing that Zin decided to use my lap again for a bed.\u0026nbsp; Akalia's body lay next to me, her nose twitching absently.\u0026nbsp; Not seeing the others, I grew a bit concerned.\u0026nbsp; After last night, not knowing where they might be is going to give me nightmares.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nZin yawned, shaking her head as her tongue lolled out.\u0026nbsp; She looked around for a moment, tail twitching absently, before her eyes met mine.\u0026nbsp; She smiled as I reached towards her, petting her head.\u0026nbsp; She leaned into my touch, closing her eyes, enjoying my attention to her.\u0026nbsp; We stayed like that for the moment, trying to keep as quiet as possible so Akalia wouldn't wake up.\u0026nbsp; I smiled down at the Houndoom on my lap, feeling at peace with everything.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSure, last night definitely shook me, severely.\u0026nbsp; My mind instantly teleported my thoughts to Xola.\u0026nbsp; Just the mental picture alone of her harmed body brought tears to my eyes.\u0026nbsp; I shook my head, trying to fling the thoughts from my mind, and I was successful for the most part.\u0026nbsp; I could still feel the goose bumps running up and down my spine, just from the effects of the mental image.\u0026nbsp; My thoughts returned to the present, when a tongue snuck its way into my mouth.\u0026nbsp; I pulled back, surprised, to see Zin giving me a worried look.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Are you alright, Master?\" she asked softly\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI heaved a sigh of relief.\u0026nbsp; Nodding, I answered.\u0026nbsp; \"Yeah, sorry,\" I said, smiling.\u0026nbsp; \"I remembered last night, that's all.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nZin raised an eyebrow at my statement, but didn't press the issue.\u0026nbsp; I smiled down at her, bringing my hand to scratch under her chin.\u0026nbsp; She leaned into my touch again, a goofy smile forming on her muzzle as I scratched.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You know,\" she said, \"we really should renew our bonds.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What do you mean?\" I asked, slowing down my scratching.\u0026nbsp; \"Wait, you mean...\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yes, that's right,\" she said, giggling.\u0026nbsp; \"Don't stop scratching, Master.\u0026nbsp; Or, do you want me to beg for it?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;I continued as asked, raking my fingers through her fur.\u0026nbsp; I leaned forward, as Zin tilted her head upwards, her muzzle meeting my lips.\u0026nbsp; Her tongue snaked inside my mouth, gently lapping at my cheeks as I returned her affection as best I could.\u0026nbsp; I cupped her face gently in my hands, her paws beginning to rub along my pants, encouraging me wordlessly by gently pressing against my crotch.\u0026nbsp; I moved my hands slowly down her body, pressing her body against mine when Akalia decided to make it known that she was awake.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Luxray!\" she said, a rumbling chuckle making its way into my ears.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI froze at the sound, my eyes widening as I tried to disengage from Zin's lips.\u0026nbsp; The Houndoom completely disagreed with me, however, as she eagerly pressed her lips against mine tighter and shoving her tongue deeper into my mouth.\u0026nbsp; As I leaned back to break our contact, she leaned forward, walking up my body and keeping our lips together.\u0026nbsp; Akalia was sure not helping, her purrs getting louder as Zin kept up the kiss.\u0026nbsp; If I didn't know better, I'd say that I was being set up for something.\u0026nbsp; I fell backwards, my back resting again on the unfurled sleeping bag, Zin standing proudly on top of me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Master, if you and your mate wished for some time alone, then you should have warned us.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI felt my cheeks burn as I heard Mist's voice.\u0026nbsp; I gently pushed Zin away from me, her tongue still licking my lips as we parted.\u0026nbsp; Though she didn't say anything, I got the deep impression that she was disappointed in me.\u0026nbsp; I didn't know why, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have minded if we got further in our intimacy, even with everyone looking on us.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Thank you, Mist, for the reminder,\" I said, shaking my head.\u0026nbsp; \"Zin just wanted to wake me with a surprise.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well...\" Zin said, a smile flashing across her muzzle.\u0026nbsp; \"I guess you could call it a surprise.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI felt my cheeks blush again, as the Houndoom laughed.\u0026nbsp; Akalia rubbed against my side gently, as Mist shook her head.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Regardless, both Spirit and Song are waiting for you outside,\" Mist said.\u0026nbsp; \"I will let them know that you will be along shortly.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith those words, Mist passed through the walls of the tent effortlessly.\u0026nbsp; I sighed, shaking my head gently side to side.\u0026nbsp; \"What am I going to do with you, Zin?\" I asked aloud.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You could do exactly what you did when we first met,\" she said, her eyes alight with mischief.\u0026nbsp; \"You definitely helped with satisfying my heat, but it's unfortunate that you can't end it, so it's bothering me again.\u0026nbsp; And, in all honesty, you were amazing.\u0026nbsp; I'd love to feel your -,\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I get it, Zin,\" I said exasperated.\u0026nbsp; Though I did feel a bit of pride in knowing that I helped, I didn't feel comfortable speaking about in front of the others.\u0026nbsp; \"I'll help you, if you need it, but later.\u0026nbsp; We do need to move on if we intend to do anything other than stay here.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nZin shrugged, her tail twitching in the air.\u0026nbsp; \"That doesn't sound like a terrible idea, you know,\" she said, grinning.\u0026nbsp; \"It's turned out to be a wonderful place, other than the whole loosing Xola earlier.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI nodded, smiling.\u0026nbsp; \"I get it,\" I said, petting her head gently.\u0026nbsp; \"After some traveling, we'll see into stopping back here, maybe?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You're going to owe me, and I intend to collect\" she said smugly.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes glinted, a plan forming in her mind.\u0026nbsp; I could already tell, though just what was that something I had no clue.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI shrugged, looking towards Akalia.\u0026nbsp; She nodded to me, a grin playing across her muzzle.\u0026nbsp; I suddenly felt like someone painted a large bulls-eye above my head.\u0026nbsp; I shivered as I turned away to leave the tent, before a heavy weight landed on my back.\u0026nbsp; I struggled as best I could, though I stopped when a velvet wet tongue bathed the back of my neck.\u0026nbsp; I was on my hands and knees, supporting my apparently dominating Houndoom on my back, but something didn't add up.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nZin wasn't this heavy.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI turned my head as best I could, to see out of the corner of my eye Akalia's black and blue fur resting on top of me.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes were glowing brightly as she continued to lick my neck.\u0026nbsp; I could feel her purrs from deep within her body, as she continued to bathe me with unnerving calmness.\u0026nbsp; I turned back to the tent flap, to see Zin working the zipper with her jaws.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Could you give me a hand?\" she asked.\u0026nbsp; \"I'm pretty sure you'd like your privacy.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Wait a second,\" I said, trying to sit up but stopped when Akalia's purrs deepened into a growl.\u0026nbsp; I lowered myself into the sleeping bag underneath me, much to the approval of the Luxray.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What do you mean?\" I asked.\u0026nbsp; \"First you're all affectionate, and now you're leaving?\u0026nbsp; What gives?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I realize that she needs help, too,\" she answered.\u0026nbsp; She grabbed the zipper again with her teeth and managed to make a gap wide enough for her to leave.\u0026nbsp; \"Aha!\u0026nbsp; Gotcha, you stupid zipper thing.\u0026nbsp; Anyway, just take care of her for now, and I'll see you before the sun sets.\u0026nbsp; Hopefully, anyway.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Wait!\" I cried out, but she slipped out through the crack before I could reach her with my hands.\u0026nbsp; All that did is throw off my balance, causing me to crash forwards, Akalia's weight holding me effectively in place.\u0026nbsp; Her paws came up to my arms, her claws scraping against my skin.\u0026nbsp; Soft electrical shocks ran through my body, as her tail circled around my leg.\u0026nbsp; I was suddenly very grateful that I had pants on, but regretted the choice of not wearing a shirt last night.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nNot that it mattered right now.\u0026nbsp; Between Akalia and Zin, I had plenty of body heat to keep me warm.\u0026nbsp; Now, it became a disadvantage, as it allowed Akalia to play with my back with her sharp claws, giving her quite an advantage over me.\u0026nbsp; I'm pretty sure that if I told her to stop, she would comply.\u0026nbsp; So, why am I not doing it?\u0026nbsp; I shivered again, as her sharp claws pressed against my skin gently.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Akalia?\u0026nbsp; Could I face you?\" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer weight left my back for a moment, as she complied with my request.\u0026nbsp; As soon as I rolled over, she dropped herself on top of me again.\u0026nbsp; I brought my hands to her sides, gently kneading her flexing muscles underneath my fingers.\u0026nbsp; Her purrs increased, radiating from her body.\u0026nbsp; She closed her eyes, bringing her head to my neck as I scratched her neck and behind her ears.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nNow that she calmed down somewhat, I turned back to the question at hand.\u0026nbsp; Why was I allowing this?\u0026nbsp; With Zin it was a matter of survival.\u0026nbsp; I'm pretty sure that if I had refused, I wouldn't be alive, or would be hunted down by her.\u0026nbsp; With Akalia, however, that wasn't the case.\u0026nbsp; A few questions formed in my mind, trying to get to the bottom of this.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Are you in heat, Akalia?\" I asked, lifting her muzzle from my neck.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Lux,\" she said, shaking her head.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nDamn.\u0026nbsp; Well, there goes obvious answer number one.\u0026nbsp; \"Well, what is it, then? \u0026nbsp;Did Zin convince you to do this?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAgain, she shook her head, her deep purrs rumbling through my body.\u0026nbsp; She smiled, however, opening her eyes again as they glowed brightly again.\u0026nbsp; A burst of inspiration hit me, though I was afraid of the answer.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It was Song, wasn't it,\" I said, raising an eyebrow at the Luxray.\u0026nbsp; A knot of dread tightened on my gut when she nodded.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI sighed, shaking my head.\u0026nbsp; Before I could voice another question, an all too familiar voice rang through my mind.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_And you're going to argue about this more?_\" Song said, her voice whispering into my mind\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Song!\" I exclaim out loud.\u0026nbsp; \"If you're try-,\" I said, struggling to stand but being successfully pinned down by Akalia.\u0026nbsp; The Luxray's paws held me down as she shook her head, smiling down on me.\u0026nbsp; Song's laughter ringing in my mind didn't help the situation.\u0026nbsp; I started to feel annoyed, but the feeling was suppressed with Song's voice.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_Please take care of her needs, Master_,\" Song said, her voice barely heard even inside my mind.\u0026nbsp; \"_She needs you right now._\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Where are you?\" I asked\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_Right outside the tent_, _though that doesn't really help you now, does it?_\" she asked rhetorically.\u0026nbsp; \"_Just perform for Akalia how you did for Zin, and things will work themselves out._\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Somehow, I don't think things work out the way you think,\" I said, exasperated.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_Quite the opposite, actually,\"_ Song said with a laugh.\u0026nbsp; \"_Everything is exactly how I want things to happen.\u0026nbsp; Just don't get too tired, yes?\u0026nbsp; I think you still want to see the Celestic ruins, so I hope you have the stamina.\u0026nbsp; I promise to keep everyone else out of trouble, and keep your privacy._\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI could hear a rustling sound coming from near the tent, Zin's giggling voice easily noticed above everything else.\u0026nbsp; Footsteps made their way to the tent again, followed by the Houndoom's voice.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Don't disappoint me, Master,\" Zin said, before padding away with the rest of the group.\u0026nbsp; I shivered as I felt an odd mixture of hesitation and eagerness.\u0026nbsp; How would anyone else feel in my position?\u0026nbsp; I thought for a moment, and shrugged.\u0026nbsp; Probably would either run screaming or jump at the opportunity.\u0026nbsp; I'm still under the impression that females, regardless of species, don't give out their bodies to just anyone.\u0026nbsp; I know I sure wouldn't.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Akalia,\" I said, scratching behind her ears.\u0026nbsp; \"Please don't bite me, or decide to electrocute me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe laughed; the sound was like a mixture of Zin's bark and her own purrs.\u0026nbsp; I shivered as she leaned down, her rough tongue licking at my lips eagerly.\u0026nbsp; I wrapped my arms around her neck, opening my mouth to let her tongue access inside.\u0026nbsp; Her soft purrs met my ears, as lightning began to arc along her fur and spark into the air.\u0026nbsp; I closed my eyes, pressing my lips harder against her muzzle, trying to ignore the burning feeling that my skin was sending.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAkalia pulled back from our kiss, saliva connecting our lips together.\u0026nbsp; Electricity danced through the joining liquid, giving my lips a sudden jolt.\u0026nbsp; I gasped in surprise, to the amusement of the Luxray, her deep purrs rumbling through my body again.\u0026nbsp; Her claws raked across my skin once again, as I gasped at the feeling.\u0026nbsp; I squirmed under her touch, gripping her fur as my I closed my eyes, beginning to enjoy the treatment.\u0026nbsp; Still holding on to her, I began to rub my hands around her back, reaching as far as I could to the base of her tail.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer muscles flexed underneath my touch, a soft moan reaching my ears as she arched her back.\u0026nbsp; I began to scratch, her claws leaving angry rows of red on my skin.\u0026nbsp; I slowed down my attentions, only for her eyes to glow an angry yellow, a snarling growl coming rumbling from her throat.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I don't want you to claw my chest open,\" I said, patting her paws gently.\u0026nbsp; Her features softened immediately, as she bent downwards to lick at my chest.\u0026nbsp; Her rough tongue bathed the irritated skin, though her teeth would prick at my skin every so often.\u0026nbsp; I held as steady as I could, grabbing a hold of her fur so I wouldn't flinch and surprise her.\u0026nbsp; I definitely didn't want to be bitten, especially by an overly excited Luxray.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer licks continued down my chest, reaching my waist and my pants.\u0026nbsp; I moved my hands to my only piece of clothing I have, stalling her for the moment.\u0026nbsp; I smiled when she looked at me, as I quickly unbuttoned my pants to prevent her from deciding to shred them herself. I was soon naked underneath her, as her muzzle reached my male-hood.\u0026nbsp; She took a few deep sniffs, before her tongue gave me an experimental lick.\u0026nbsp; I sat up, smiling as Akalia took another lick, quickly arousing me to full attention.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe kept up her slow attention on me, eventually stopping to place a paw on my chest.\u0026nbsp; Her licks continued upwards again, though she didn't stall at any specific place, reaching my mouth before pressing her lips eagerly against mine.\u0026nbsp; I felt Akalia push me downwards, my back to the ground again but our lips not parting this time.\u0026nbsp; Her body lay on top of me, sparks of lightning tickling me through our bodies being connected.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe pulled back from me, a soft mewl as she licked my nose and rubbed her lower body against mine.\u0026nbsp; Her fur rubbed along my length gently, as I felt wet fur along my leg.\u0026nbsp; I looked as she raised her body and tried to align herself with me.\u0026nbsp; She faced away from me for a moment, looking behind her as she tried to impale herself onto my cock.\u0026nbsp; I brought a hand to her face, directing her to face me again.\u0026nbsp; When she took my suggesting and faced me, I licked her nose as I used my other hand to direct myself to her entrance.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes widened for a moment, before a smile crossed her muzzle, before slowly drawing herself downwards, allowing me inside her.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI gasped as her tunnel welcomed me inside its warm embrace.\u0026nbsp; As she slid herself down all the way to the hilt, her muscles contracted around my flesh.\u0026nbsp; I gasped as her paws surrounded me, pulling my body as close to her as she could.\u0026nbsp; I wrapped my arms around her as she nuzzled my neck.\u0026nbsp; I rubbed my cheek against hers as we stayed still, neither of us moving from our intimate embrace.\u0026nbsp; All too soon, she lifted herself from me, feeling her walls contract around my member, as if refusing to let me go.\u0026nbsp; She quickly threw herself downwards again, taking me inside of her again.\u0026nbsp; She lifted her face from my neck, her eyes glowing brightly against her fur.\u0026nbsp; I pressed my hand against her cheek, as she leaned into my touch.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWe moved slowly, our bodies moving when desired.\u0026nbsp; We would begin to build momentum, only for us to slow down once again.\u0026nbsp; It wasn't until she gripped me with her paws and her body shook that I realized that she reached a new height in her pleasure.\u0026nbsp; Though it wasn't enough for her, however, as she forced herself to move faster, urging me to do the same.\u0026nbsp; I began to thrust in time with hers, meeting her halfway in our carnal dance.\u0026nbsp; Sweat beaded on my forehead and body, soaking Akalia's fur as we moved in unison.\u0026nbsp; Her fangs began to glint as electricity poured through her.\u0026nbsp; I wrapped my arms around her and held still, trying to prevent myself from being electrocuted.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI felt Akalia's teeth clamp down onto my shoulder, as my world tumbled violently.\u0026nbsp; I found myself suddenly on top of the Luxray, her hind legs spread as wide as she could while having me inside of her.\u0026nbsp; I gently nuzzled the top of her head, as I pulled out of her body only to sink in a moment later.\u0026nbsp; Her body began to spasm around me, her legs twitching against my back and her tunnel grasping me intently.\u0026nbsp; Her claws raked my back and legs, as Akalia let out a yowl of pleasure.\u0026nbsp; Electricity danced over me as my Luxray reached her orgasm, her tunnel dampening my thighs and waist.\u0026nbsp; I gritted my teeth, getting mixed signals of pleasure and pain.\u0026nbsp; Never thought I'd enjoy having the feeling of getting your finger stuck into an electrical socket.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer panting brought me out of my reverie.\u0026nbsp; She looked at me, a smile spreading across her muzzle, but her whines concerned me.\u0026nbsp; I leaned forward and she nuzzled my face, her body wiggling around me.\u0026nbsp; I gasped, as my sensitive body was assaulted once again by her tightening tunnel.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What is it?\" I asked, brushing her fur from her eyes.\u0026nbsp; She shook her head as she whined softly.\u0026nbsp; She licked my hand, before her tunnel squeezed me again.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You want me to reach my peak too?\" I asked, gasping for breath.\u0026nbsp; She nodded as a response, licking my nose again.\u0026nbsp; I licked her nose, mimicking her actions, but then kissed her lips.\u0026nbsp; Electricity sparked again as I brought my grip to her lower body.\u0026nbsp; I didn't stall for long, holding myself as steady as I could while thrusting into her.\u0026nbsp; Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, as her eyes began to glow once again.\u0026nbsp; She pulled herself using my body, her muzzle on my neck as her teeth grabbed my skin.\u0026nbsp; I leaned down, bringing our bodies back to the floor.\u0026nbsp; With one hand on her hips and the other holding her head, I began to thrust in earnest.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt didn't take long for my body to complete its duty, as I felt my muscles tighten and my thrusts began to go faster.\u0026nbsp; Akalia's claws extended, grabbing a hold of me as I released myself inside of her.\u0026nbsp; Sparks flew across my field of vision, electricity jumping around my skin as her howled cry rasped through her throat.\u0026nbsp; Her muscles were taught, constantly flexing underneath me, until she finally relaxed.\u0026nbsp; I looked at her, our sweat matting her beautiful black and blue fur, her chest heaving in exhaustion.\u0026nbsp; I was panting as well, but I smiled down at her while rubbing her cheek gently.\u0026nbsp; A smile formed on her muzzle as well, as I brought my lips to hers.\u0026nbsp; I caressed her body with my hands, as her paws gently stroked my back.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes began to close, her heavy breathing slowly returning to normal.\u0026nbsp; I chuckled, as I hugged her body.\u0026nbsp; Maybe some extra sleep wouldn't be such a bad idea right now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n================\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; =================\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; ===================\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI woke up by the shrill call of my Pokédex.\u0026nbsp; I groaned, fumbling blindly for the device until I found it.\u0026nbsp; I brought it up to my eyes, the blurred numbers reading fifteen hundred hours barely registering into my mind.\u0026nbsp; _How long was I out?_\u0026nbsp; I shrugged, trying to figure out the answer but failing miserably.\u0026nbsp; Today was just not the day for traveling, it seemed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAkalia was still sleeping, and didn't even stir when the Pokédex alarm activated.\u0026nbsp; I smiled, brushing her cheek gently.\u0026nbsp; She barely stirred, her breathing gently making her chest rise and fall in tandem.\u0026nbsp; I slowly realized that I was still naked, lying on top of her.\u0026nbsp; Thankfully, I had slid out of her during our sleep, though it didn't make the mess any less.\u0026nbsp; A soft purr and a gentle lick brought my attention back to Akalia, as she smiled up at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Luxray,\" she purred, as she nodded at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"We should probably get cleaned up,\" I said, shaking my head.\u0026nbsp; \"It wouldn't do your fur good to not wash up.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe nodded as I rolled off from on top of her, rummaging through my backpack to find a towel and some pants.\u0026nbsp; Fishing out some bright yellow shorts and a white towel, I quickly wrapped myself up.\u0026nbsp; Akalia's low purr gave me the impression that she was giggling at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Hey, it's for my own modesty, at the very least,\" I said, turning to see her roll her eyes at me. \u0026nbsp;I shrugged at her actions, kneeling in front of the door to unzip the tent.\u0026nbsp; I was silently relieved that Song, Zin, or anyone was waiting for me right outside the door, but that did raise the question as to where they were.\u0026nbsp; Before I left, I grabbed my Pokédex, just to make sure I at least knew what time it was.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAkalia followed me as we made our way from the campsite to the water's edge.\u0026nbsp; The waterfall could be heard as we walked, and I shivered again, my thoughts instantly visualizing an injured Milotic, blood contrasting against her scales and my skin.\u0026nbsp; I became dizzy, the world spinning around me.\u0026nbsp; I would have fallen, if it wasn't for Akalia's reactions, leaning against me as I teetered in place.\u0026nbsp; I dropped to my knees, my Luxray's cry ringing in my ears for a moment.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's alright, Akalia,\" I said, shaking my head.\u0026nbsp; Doing so brought on a wave of nausea, but I controlled myself as best I could.\u0026nbsp; Swallowing the bile rising in my throat, I smiled at her.\u0026nbsp; \"See?\u0026nbsp; I'm fine now.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe gave a look that clearly said that she didn't quite believe me, but she allowed me to stand.\u0026nbsp; I managed to get up with her help, though she didn't leave my side while we walked towards the water.\u0026nbsp; We made it without any more incidents, and I quickly shed my towel and walked in after setting my pants and Pokédex safely on the shore.\u0026nbsp; The water, while cold, felt amazing against my skin.\u0026nbsp; I sighed as I sat down on the sand, enjoying the shallow water and the warm sunrays against my body.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAkalia joined me after a few moments, as she insisted that she groomed me.\u0026nbsp; I laughed as she made me bow forward with a growl and a paw on my neck, so she could lick every piece of hair on my head into place.\u0026nbsp; I returned the favor as best I could by rubbing all over her fur, using the water and a good massage to get her to relax and enjoy the water as best I could.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAll too quickly, we went from cleaning, to a splashing contest.\u0026nbsp; I was quickly proven that I couldn't beat the gigantic cat Pokémon with just my hands, and I pleaded surrender whenever I could.\u0026nbsp; It didn't seem that I would get a break, because as soon as I dropped my hands from my face, I was greeted by a wave of water splashing right into it.\u0026nbsp; I gasped for breath, feeling water run through my nose into the back of my throat, while laughter reached my ears.\u0026nbsp; As soon as I could breathe normally, without water getting into my lungs, I saw Xola curled up in front of me, laughing merrily.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well, it's good to see you too, Xola,\" I said, wiping my face.\u0026nbsp; \"Just next time make sure I don't drown.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh!\" she said, surprised.\u0026nbsp; \"I'll remember that next time, so I catch you by surprise again.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI sighed, but chuckled, shrugging.\u0026nbsp; \"Do you know where everyone else is?\" I asked\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nXola nodded, as Akalia pressed her paw on my lap.\u0026nbsp; The Milotic tilted her head sideways for a moment, before pointing behind me with her tail.\u0026nbsp; \"They're over there,\" she said.\u0026nbsp; \"Song wanted to talk to you, in case you forgot.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yeah, I remember vaguely,\" I said, rubbing the back of my head.\u0026nbsp; I looked at Akalia, giving her a smile.\u0026nbsp; \"Do you feel presentable?\" I asked\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAkalia smiled at me, giving me a lick on my cheek before running towards Song and the others.\u0026nbsp; I sighed as I stood up, before I realized I was still naked.\u0026nbsp; I shrugged, though I did notice a soft blush come up on Xola's cheeks.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I hope I don't offend you, Xola,\" I said sheepishly\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No, it's not that,\" she said, as she turned away from me.\u0026nbsp; \"It's just that I didn't expect to see you without clothes, that's all.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI grinned at her, shaking my head.\u0026nbsp; \"Well, we better hurry then,\" I said, shrugging, \"before Zin gets any more brilliant ideas about me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer scales turned a brighter red, but she followed at my side while we walked towards everyone.\u0026nbsp; I ignored Zin's eager calls and slipped on the pair of shorts, while grabbing the towel and drying myself as best I could.\u0026nbsp; I was curious as to why everyone except Mist was present.\u0026nbsp; Song, Spirit, and Zin where sitting next to my things, Song holding the Pokédex on her lap, looking at it curiously.\u0026nbsp; I lay the towel on the sand, sitting on it while the rest of the group sat around me in some fashion.\u0026nbsp; Akalia deliberately laid her head on top of my lap, sharing it with Zin.\u0026nbsp; Xola was curled behind me, her head lying gently on my shoulder.\u0026nbsp; Song and Spirit stayed in their spots, not moving.\u0026nbsp; Spirit smiled at me, and I smiled back at her.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Where's Mist?\" I asked\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_She went ahead to make sure the campsite is safe, before joining us, Master,_\" Song said.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer voice didn't have that usual upbeat tone in it, and I was mildly concerned.\u0026nbsp; \"Song, are you alright?\" I asked\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe shook her head, and smiled at me.\u0026nbsp; \"_Yes, I'm fine,\"_ she said.\u0026nbsp; \"_I'm just happy to see that my plans are working._\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Plans?\" I asked, raising an eyebrow.\u0026nbsp; \"What are you talking about?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe shook her head again.\u0026nbsp; \"_Don't worry about it too much,\"_ she said.\u0026nbsp; \"_Just know that it's all for the best, alright?_\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"When you say things like that, it makes me want to worry, Song,\" I said, frowning at the Gardevoir.\u0026nbsp; I felt both Akalia and Zin tense up while I tried to interrogate Song.\u0026nbsp; Zin looked up, shaking her head at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What she's trying to say is that things don't stay the same,\" Zin said, frowning.\u0026nbsp; \"She's making sure that you're safe.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Stay safe from what?\" I asked.\u0026nbsp; \"Who would do us harm?\u0026nbsp; No one knows us except people that have lived in Solaceon all of their lives.\u0026nbsp; We've never harmed anyone.\u0026nbsp; By Arceus, I haven't even caught a Pokémon, nor fought anyone in any battles!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_From yourself_,\" Song stated.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI blinked, my thoughts derailed by her statement.\u0026nbsp; I tried to even point to an event in my life that would cause me harm, but nothing even came close.\u0026nbsp; Cavern exploring?\u0026nbsp; That would be the only thing I've done that I've done that's relatively dangerous.\u0026nbsp; If you don't count the bridge incident, that is.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI was relieved to see Mist appear, materializing from thin air.\u0026nbsp; The Mismagius looked about, and shook her head at the scene in front of her.\u0026nbsp; She closed her eyes, and seemed to debate with something internally before opening them and addressing me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Master, may I speak with you?\u0026nbsp; Privately?\" she asked.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI looked around me, seeing that both Akalia and Zin left my lap, while Xola wrapped upon herself, leaving my shoulder.\u0026nbsp; I looked at both Spirit and Song, who both nodded at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Sure,\" I said, standing up.\u0026nbsp; I grabbed the towel and headed over to the Ghost Pokémon.\u0026nbsp; When I approached her, she hovered next to me, placing an ethereal hand on my shoulder, before floating in front of me.\u0026nbsp; I followed my new guide, to wherever she wanted to go so we may be in private.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I hope we aren't going too far,\" I said, shaking my head.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No, we are not,\" she said.\u0026nbsp; \"We are headed for the campsite.\u0026nbsp; I will let the others know when we are done.\u0026nbsp; This way you can begin to cook dinner, as well.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI grimaced.\u0026nbsp; \"I was thinking that we should finish those berries that you all brought,\" I said, giving out a chuckle.\u0026nbsp; Mist looked back at me, rolling her eyes.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Very well, I will let the others know to go pick a few more berries on their way back here,\" she said, sighing.\u0026nbsp; \"It should give me a bit more time to explain things as best that I can.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI busied myself with making the fire quickly.\u0026nbsp; Thankfully, all the materials were already set and ready, so it didn't take long for me to get it started.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You can thank Zin when she comes back,\" Mist said, nodding.\u0026nbsp; \"She was the one that left those things out for you.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI nodded, feeling my cheeks flush a bit at thinking about Zin again.\u0026nbsp; I shook myself, closing my eyes to maintain self-control of my body.\u0026nbsp; How in the world was just thinking about that would get me so aroused?\u0026nbsp; I knew I shouldn't have gone with Song's crazy plan!\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"There is nothing wrong with you, Master,\" Mist said calmly.\u0026nbsp; \"You're having quite a normal reaction.\u0026nbsp; Frankly, I would be surprised if you did not react like you are right now.\u0026nbsp; It would make things unnecessarily complicated.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI stared at the ghost, once again my thoughts being derailed by someone's words.\u0026nbsp; She smiled, chuckling softly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I cannot tell you much, for the information is strictly forbidden for others to know,\" she said, her voice dropping in volume.\u0026nbsp; \"But Song insisted that you should know, so she is risking much for you right now.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Then we shouldn't be talking about this, even if she insists,\" I said, frowning.\u0026nbsp; \"I can't have any of you risking your well-being.\u0026nbsp; Not after what happened to Xola.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMist closed her eyes, the gems on her body glowing softly.\u0026nbsp; She began to chant softly under her breath, her lips moving but I wasn't able to hear anything she said.\u0026nbsp; I began to slowly feel lightheaded, as if I was holding my breath for too long.\u0026nbsp; I began to take slow deep breaths, but the sensation continued.\u0026nbsp; Lightheadedness turned quickly into a headache, which turned rapidly turning into a searing pain.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Mist, stop it!\" I yelled out, clutching my forehead.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAs soon as I said those words, the pain immediately stopped.\u0026nbsp; I shivered, my breath coming in quick pants.\u0026nbsp; I tried to get my bearings, but it seemed that all that happened was that I fell on my knees.\u0026nbsp; I shook my head gently from side to side, making sure it didn't aggravate any pain.\u0026nbsp; Thankfully there wasn't any, and Mist let out a sigh of relief.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I apologize, Master,\" she said.\u0026nbsp; \"Perhaps I should have thought of that.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Did you know that your Lucky Chant ability wouldn't work on me?\" I asked.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe shook her head.\u0026nbsp; \"There's your answer,\" I said, smiling.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Thank you,\" Mist whispered, smiling at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Though, I'm curious as to why you would want to talk to me away from everyone else.\u0026nbsp; It's not that they don't know what happened.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe Mismagius's gems glowed brightly for a moment, her eyes avoiding me for the moment.\u0026nbsp; \"It is not that fact that makes me wish to address you, Master,\" she said softly.\u0026nbsp; \"I only wish to inform you that things happen for a reason.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I know that already,\" I said, doing my best to avoid rolling my eyes.\u0026nbsp; \"Mom hammered that into my head a long time ago.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No, it is not just that.\u0026nbsp; Everything that has happened before you became a trainer, that is all child's play compared to what you will face soon.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI blinked at the ghost as I tried to digest this new information.\u0026nbsp; \"So you're telling me that what happened to Xola is nothing?\" I asked, anger beginning to tint my voice.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMist shook her head.\u0026nbsp; \"No, that is not what I said, or meant at all.\u0026nbsp; What happened to Xola was tragic, but unavoidable.\u0026nbsp; Fate intends to pull you in its whims, and there will not be anything you, or us, that will be able to do to prevent it.\u0026nbsp; I am warning you to be ready to accept what will happen soon.\u0026nbsp; For all of us.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"So, then why are you telling me this?\" I asked, frowning.\u0026nbsp; I curled my hands into fists, trying to find a safe outlet for this anger.\u0026nbsp; \"Is this part of Song's plan, too?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMist shook her head again.\u0026nbsp; \"No, it is not.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Then who's?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe ghost was about to speak, when her entire body shook violently.\u0026nbsp; I instantly closed what gap we had, to catch her from falling to the ground.\u0026nbsp; I managed to make it before that, cradling her gently in my arms.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes were closed, her mouth pursed in a grimace, while the gems glowed softly in the shade.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Mist!\" I exclaimed, reaching to press my hand against her cheek.\u0026nbsp; Her eyes opened softly, the soft haunting cry of her kind escaping her lips as she smiled at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Are you alright?\" I asked.\u0026nbsp; She nodded as she tried to disengage herself from me, but I shook my head.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh no, you don't,\" I said, frowning.\u0026nbsp; \"You're going to rest.\u0026nbsp; No more floating for you, and that's final.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMist giggled, a wispy appendage touching my cheeks.\u0026nbsp; \"At least allow me to start the camp fire,\" she said.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Then by all means,\" I said, nodding.\u0026nbsp; \"Good subtle practice using your Psychic moves.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Who said about using Psychic?\" she asked.\u0026nbsp; The outline of her body glowed, matching the gems on her body.\u0026nbsp; Purple blue fire sparked around the set wood in the small pit, and it instantly lit, beginning to burn brightly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Mental note, never get you angry,\" I said, chuckling.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I am quite positive that you will not, Master,\" she said, giggling.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Will you let the others know that they're more than welcome to join us?\u0026nbsp; Unless you have anything else to say.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No, I believe that I am done.\u0026nbsp; I will let the others know it is fine to come back.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI nodded as I sat down in front of the fire, cradling Mist.\u0026nbsp; There were no more words spoken, and the only sounds I heard were the soft rustling as footsteps joined us, the gentle breeze whistling past, and my own breathing.\u0026nbsp; I looked to my sides, as Akalia pressed herself against my left while Zin leaned to my right.\u0026nbsp; I felt Xola's soft scales against my back as she leaned against me, while I felt Spirit's claw on my shoulder.\u0026nbsp; Song sat next to me, placing her hands on my own, and her eyes radiated while looking straight at me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Song,\" I said, frowning, \"what's going on?\u0026nbsp; I'm afraid.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"_So am I, Master,_\" she said, her voice heavy with emotion.\u0026nbsp; \"_So am I._\"\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"A Trainer\\'s Tale","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/228400-a-trainer-s-tale-chapter-4.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/235500-a-trainer-s-tale-chapter-6.json"}}
