#12 of My Pokemon stories


...

"Cold...", said a young man as he rubbed his hands against each other. He was wearing a rather thick grey jacket and even a scarf, but it was in the middle of winter, and the vigorous wind kept lashing and hitting his face, making him tremble. Letting out a tiring sigh, the young man looked at the bag of berries he was carrying, "I just hope that these things worth my effort."

It was getting dark, as the Sun started to disappear behind the horizon. The young man was still trying to walk his way through the forest, but apparently, he wouldn't be able to make it before nightfall. But how did he end up getting lost in this forest? Well, to answer that question, let's take a look at his background.

...

His name was Josh, a 20 year-old youngster. He has a wonderful, if not perfect, physique: Standing at 6 fts 8 with curly blonde hair, well-toned body and especially his eyes, which were said by most people he'd met, had a deep blue color like the sea. His dream...or Josh liked to call it his desire (because he thought that dreams were only for children, and...once they were dreams, they would never become truth), was to become a pokemon healer. He liked pokemon. Magnificent creatures, but he didn't want to be either a trainer or a breeder.

Josh's parents were both successful businessmans, thus his family was extremely wealthy. They also loved and cared a lot for him. Josh lived a happy childhood without either sorrow or sadness. However, his happiness hadn't last for long. Ten years ago, his parents passed away in a tragic car accident when they'd been out for business, leaving their only beloved son behind. It was so sudden, so devastating for a ten year-old boy, and since then, Josh became an orphan. Thanks to his parents' wealth, Josh was able to live on without any financial worries, but he wanted more than just a bunch of money or a big, convenient but cold and empty house to live in. He wanted warmth and protection, the two things that he could only feel while being held in his parents' embrace. He craved for those feelings everyday and everynight, even...now. As the result of his harsh life, Josh had always been down to earth, a realist who never believe in things such as dreams or hope, and could get really bitter sometimes.

However, Josh's life hadn't always been miserable. He once had a friend. Not a human friend, but a pokemon - a Quilava. Five years ago, right in this same forest, Josh found the little guy, injured, starved and completely hopeless...just like him, when his parents died. Josh knew instantly that if he hadn't helped the pokemon, there was noway it could survive. He took the poor creature to his home and treated its wounds, as well as fed it. But when the Quilava had been healed and Josh intended to release it, the pokemon somehow became attached to him.

Josh knew that it would be better for the Quilava if he returned it to the wild, but he didn't want to. He had been lonely, and he wanted some companionship, so he kept the pokemon and named it 'Ty'. They developed a special kind of bond, far exceed the normal, supposed-to-be master/pet relationship. Josh took care of Ty as if it was his little brother, and the pokemon did the same thing to him. Once again, Josh could truly smile, and once again, he found the happiness that he'd been seeking ever since the day his parents left this world.

And yet, fate was so cruel to him...

One day, Josh got back home after a five-day camping trip with his classmates, he found Ty lying unconciously on the floor. Josh tried to wake the pokemon, but all in vain. Panicked, Josh carried his friend and ran to the Pokemon Center as fast as he could, but it was too late. Ty died shortly after that. It turned out that the pokemon had been seriously sick for over three days. Josh only blamed himself. If he hadn't gone for that stupid camping trip, his friend would have been treated earlier, and would properly survive. Josh burried Ty at a small corner of his garden, where he made a vow to become a pokemon healer, for he never wanted to see a pokemon dying in front of his eyes again.

Being a natural genius, so just by self-learning, Josh had become an expert in pokemon healing. He could easily treated almost any kind of wound or disease, from common to dangerous. He cured many of his friends' pokemon, and he also came to the pokemon center to help, occasionally. Josh gradually became quite famous for his skill, to the point that some professors in the region had invited him to be their assistant, but he turned them all down. He hadn't satisfied yet. He wanted to perfect his skill, to be the best healer in the entire world (This was one of Josh's noticable characteristics, properly because of his being a genius, Josh usually, if not always, wanted to reach perfection in everything he did, and he would never be satisfied with just one, or a few accomplishments).

...

Anyway, what the heck does all of that relate to the reason why Josh got lost in the forest, you ask? It's simple and surprisingly absurd. He'd been doing experiences to create a new potion that could increase pokemon's fighting potential, but missing the main components (some sort of rare herbs and berries), so he went into the forest to look for them. After having spent many hours searching, Josh finally got all he needed, but he end up getting lost.

"Fuck!", Josh cursed. He was getting a little flustered, "What's wrong with me today? Why do I keep getting bad lucks like this? First, I forgot my cellphone, and now this! I'm stuck in this damn forest."

However, Josh quickly regained his composure, and he knew that shouting and swearing wouldn't help him get out of the forest. The first thing he needed to do was to find a shelter, a cave, or something similar to spend the night.

"Okay, it won't be wise to stay out here all night. I need to find a cave to rest and...", Josh muttered and checked his packback, "...Oh thanks god, I still have some canned food left. Better than having to swallow these berries anyway."

(One hour later)

"Finally!!!...*Panted*...I'm so not going into this forest again!", Josh panted out as he spotted the entrance of a cave, just when dark clouds started to gather in the sky. It was going to rain. Josh rushed toward his shelter, but stopped halfway as he noticed that he was stepping on some kind of crimson liquid, something like...

"Is this really what I think it is?", Josh muttered and wiped some of the liquid with his fingers, then took a sniff, "Oh damn! Blood! What in the world is going on?". Looking more closely, Josh noticed that the were several blood trails on the ground, which led to a nearby bush. Should he come over there? What if the creature, human, or pokemon or whatever the blood belonged to...was dead?

"No! I'm a healer. I can't just stand here and leave that thing to die!", Josh scolded himself, "Okay, whatever you are, just do me a favour: Don't die!". He went around the bush, and looked down at the ground where he thought was the source of the blood.

"Oh my...God!", Josh stopped dead, his mouth felt agape from shock, "Bloody Hell!"

...

"Okay, I admit that I've always wanted to see an Arcanine, but not in this kind of situation!", Josh said. Laying on the ground in front of his eyes, was an Arcanine - A dilapidated and unconcious Arcanine. The creature looked almost like it was wasted. Blood kept streaming out from the wounds on the pokemon's body, staining its fluffy, orange and cream-colored fur.

But who, or what in the world could have done something like this? Josh had heard rumors about how powerful and intelligent Arcanines were, and he highly doubted that there was anything in this forest strong enough to bring down this mighty beast.

"Looks bad! But I've seen worse...These injuries are just pieces of cake.", Josh muttered and pulled out some medical supplies, healing potion and bandages, from his packback. Being a pokemon healer, Josh always brought along some basic first aid in case he encountered injured pokemon, like this one. Josh set to work without any delay. He cleaned the wounds with a his scarf and hydrogen peroxide liquid, then applied the healing potion to the cleaned wounds, and finally, some bandages to patch it up.

Ten minutes later, Josh sat back, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he inspected his work. The injuries should be fine, for now, but Josh highly suspected that something was wrong with Arcanine's health, judging from its breathing rate and body tempature. Maybe he needed to look after it for a while.

Then, it started raining, and Josh knew he just couldn't leave Arcanine here.

"Damn!", Josh sighed as he realized that he would have to carry the pokemon. He carefully lift the beast's massive body with both of his arms, and hoisted it over his shoulder. His knees started to shake because of the weight, but lucky for him, the cave was just a couple steps ahead.

"Shit! Has this guy ever considered going on a diet?", Josh cursed under his breaths and tried to run as fast as he could toward the cave. He carried the Arcanine into the cave and place it down slowly with a grunt of exertion. By the time he got into the cave, it was pouring down heavily. If Josh had been one second slower, he and Arcanine would have been horribly soaked. That was the good news. Now for the bad news: The cave was completely empty. No braches, no leaves, nothing to make a fire. If Josh couldn't make a fire and it kept raining like that for all night, there was a chance that he might be frozen to death.

"Come on! There has to be something in here I can use!", Josh said while searching his packback, "Ahah, there it is! My reserve blanket. I knew this would come in handy someday!"

But when Josh was about use the blanket, his eyes somehow drifted to the unconcious fire pokemon. He could clearly saw that Arcanine was trembling, and for one second, Josh wondered if fire pokemon could really feel cold, or catch a fever. But enough of that. He couldn't leave the creature in this condition, despite the fact that the blanket was the only source of warmth that he had.

"So what if I catch a cold?", Josh asked himself mentally, "If I leave this Arcanine freeze to death, then I'm no different from the bastard who tried to kill it.". He slowly approached the beast and carefully wrapped the blanket around its body. While doing so, Josh couldn't help but admire the pokemon's manificent features: Its fur was extremely soft and smoothy, escpecially the cream-colored patches on its chest and forehead, but lied under those fur were the beast's powerful muscles. Very bulky and toned, indeed.

"Such a wonderful creature you are, Arcanine!", Josh muttered in awe.

(Midnight)

It was still raining heavily.

Josh was dozing off quietly, but his peaceful slumber was disturbed as he heard a strange noise. He quickly opened his eyes and warily grabbed his flashlight to check what was going on. But when Josh pointed his flashlight at the source of the noise, from out of nowhere, a fierce stream of fire shot at him, and it almost hit Josh. Shocked and flustered, the healer turned around to see who or what had attacked him, only to get extremely furious because the attacker was none other than the Arcanine that he'd saved earlier.

"What the...? What are you trying to do?", Josh shouted at Arcanine, although that it wasn't quite the best thing to do when you were facing a ferocious, fire-breathing beast.

"Stay away from me, you filthy human!", the fire pokemon growled back in a lousy, masculine voice, "What is this place, and why did you take me here?"

Arcanine seemed pretty lively, which meant his healing rate was really fast, which also meant...Josh was in quite a dangerous position, for the beast could easily tear him apart if he wanted to. Josh knew that, but he was so pissed off by the pokemon's rude and ungrateful attitude that he just couldn't think precisely anymore.

"Filthy? Filthy? I just saved your fierce butt, and this is how you repay me: By insulting me and trying to burn me alive?", Josh snapped, his face was flushing red with anger.

"You can't fool me, human!", the fire pokemon growled again, "I know you are trying to lure me into a trap. You're one of those guys who called themselves 'Hunters' that tried to capture me earlier, aren't you?"

"'...'Hunters'? So that how it is! I should have known those bastards are behind all of this.", Josh thought. He'd heard rumors about a group of criminals that called themselves 'Rare Hunters' (Yugioh Battle City reference, for fun ^-^). They are speciallized in capturing wild, powerful pokemon using cruel methods. Then, they would sell those unlucky pokemon to other criminal groups for illegal use or rich, lazy trainers who just wanted to have a strong pokemon without having to do anything. They were infamous and wanted everywhere in the world, the Hunters, and this Arcanine were their 'supposed-to-be' latest victim. No wonder why he got so worked-up.

Josh's anger started to fade. He felt sorry for the pokemon. The poor Arcanine was ambushed, threatened, toturned by a group of human, to the point that he'd almost died, and now, for him to place his trust in human again? Seemed nearly impossible.

"Looks Arcanine, I'm sorry, for what those hunters have done to you..." , Josh whispered appologetically as he tried to comfort the pokemon (Somehow, he felt pretty stupid. Why did he even appologise? He didn't do anything wrong), "But you can trust me, I swear to God that I have no intention of harming you. I could have let you bleed to death, I could have given you to those hunters when you were unconcious, but I didn't. I'm a healer, and I'm here to help you."

Arcanine was looking at Josh as if he was considering if he should trust the healer or not, and even though the beast's stare was cold and cautious, Josh could see that there were was no hostility in those eyes anymore. He sighed in relief and sat back down, "It's okay if you want me to stay away, just please, don't try to do anything foolish. You're still weak, so let me stay here to take care of you, at least until you get well enough to leave on your own."

The pokemon hissed and laid back to resume his rest, but then noticed that there was a warm, comfortable blanket wrapping around his body. He looked at Josh, who was searching his bag off berries for something, then at the blanket, then at Josh again, and finally, the question slipped out of his mouth, "What is this?"

"Huh?", Josh turned around, holding a bunch of pecha berries with his hands, "Oh, that's my blanket, you know, something we human use to keep our body warm, since we don't have the luxury of coating ourselves with thick fur like you guys. I was thinking that you might catch a cold. Uhm, I'm sorry if you don't like it."

"No, I...Wait, are those berries...pecha berries?", Arcanine asked, looking at the berries Josh was holding with intense hunger. Josh chuckled. Five minutes ago, the pokemon had been a fierce predator, and now, he looked almost like an innocent, hungry child who wanted nothing more than being fed.

"Uhm, yes. I'll leave them here. Feel free to eat if you're hungry, I still have plenty of them. And if you need anything, just give me a call."

"What should I call you?", the fire pokemon asked.

"Josh. That's my name. I'm going to sleep a little. Go ahead and eat to your heart's content.", Josh replied with a grin and sitting back against the cave's wall.

Arcanine started muching the berries while looking at the sleeping human. 'May be not all human are bad. This guy...he seems really nice."

(The next morning)

When Josh opened his eyes again, it had ready been 9 a.m in the morning, and he felt pretty tired. Well, he did had some sleep last night, but he usually woke up very early in the morning, so this was really off his routine. Man, yesterday had been such a crazy day. Bad luck after bad luck. Anyhow, he felt glad that it was over, and at least he had saved an Arcanine. (althought he'd almost been killed by that same Arcanine!)

"Wait a minute! Something seems really off...", Josh muttered to himself as he looked around. His bag, backpack and blanket were still there, what could have been missing?

The Arcanine! Where was he?

"Shit!", Josh cursed. He looked around once again, this time more carefully. He noticed that there was no trace of violence, strugglings or resistance, which meant the Hunters still hadn't known about this place yet. Maybe Josh had underestimated Arcanine's ability to recover. He'd properly gotten well enough and left just now.

"Well, good for him. I just hope that he won't be seeing any of those hunters again.", Josh thought. Still, he was pretty disappointed for not having any chance to say goodbye to the pokemon. After all, it was fate that brought them to each other. It'd been a while since he last talked to someone, leave alone a pokemon, and even though his conversation with Arcanine hadn't started off very well, he actually enjoyed it, a lot. Having been a loner for most of his life, every conversation was precious to Josh, in different ways.

Josh sighed and started to gather his stuffs before setting off to go back home, but when he'd just finish packing up, a familiar voice behind him made him jump.

"Are you leaving now?"

The healer turned around, only to find himself staring at the Arcanine he had saved, holding a bunch of pecha berries in his muzzle. The pokemon appeared to be...perfectly healthy. The traces of his previous injuries had almost completely gone from his body, and Josh highly doubted that Arcanine was just trying to hide them. But that wasn't all that changed. Josh also noticed that Arcanine was looking at him differently from last night. The pokemon's gaze was soft, friendly and contained a hint of curious. With a small smile forming at the corner of his lips, Josh sat down against the rock, "Well duh, I woke up just now and didn't see you anywhere, so what's the point of staying here?

"Sorry, I didn't want to disturb your sleep.", Arcanine said appologetically.

"Don't bother. How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good.", Arcanine responded. He went closer to Josh, sitting down next to the healer and placing the berries in front of him. Josh chuckled, "I see that you've found your own breakfast."

Arcanine shook his head, "Uhm no, they are actually for you."

"Eh, me?"

"Well, because I ate of yours, so I want to make up for you with these. And, uhm, about everything I said to you last night, I...I'm sorry. Will you forgive me, for insulting you?"

Josh's mouth almost felt agape from surprise. Not only had the pokemon gone through troubles to find those berries for him, but he also appologised to him. It was a total change of heart, completely different from last night, and whatever the reason was, Josh just knew that Arcanine had accepted him, not as a savor, but as a close friend. He chuckled, "It's okay, Arcanine. I understand, and yes, I forgive you."

Arcanine didn't say anything and responded Josh by a slow nod. Feeling a surge of confidence rise in his body, Josh leaned forwards and slowly closed the distance between him and the pokemon. With a gentle motion, Josh brushed his fingers against the pokemon's cream-colored mane, and even though he had touched it last night, Josh was still amazed at how luxuriously soft it was, almost felt like you were touching an extremely comfortable blanket. Arcanine closed his eyes and murred as he felt the human's gently stroking his fur.

They went on like that for a while, but Arcanine eventually broke the silence, "Josh, can I ask you something?"

Josh nodded.

"Can you...stay with me for another day?", the pokemon asked, "I want to know more about you."

"Uhm...sure, but I should warn you: Everything about me is pretty boring. Are you sure that you won't feel as sleep while I'm telling you about my life?", Josh replied with a chuckle.

"Quite the opposite, I think you're an interesting person. When I was attacked, and almost killed by those hunters, I thought that al human in this world is the same: Filthy, evil, cruel...But no, I saw something different in you, Josh. You're kind, honest, you have a good heart, and I think you will make a great friend."

"Wow, it's the first time I receive such praises! Not even my closest human friend woud say things like that about me, leave alone a pokemon. But...is there really anything you can get by flattering me?"

"I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth.", Arcanine said loudly, a small blush started to form on his cheeks.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry.", Josh laughed, "So, what do you want to do first?"

"I know that this is a little personal, but can you tell me something about your life. Why did you go into this forest? Where do you live? Why do you want to be a healer...*blah, blah, blah*???"

Josh waited patiently as Arcanine rattled off all of his questions one after another, forming a long, annoying chain as if he was chanting, using some sort of alien language. When the pokemon had finally finished, Josh smiled at him and stroked his mane softly.

"You sure are an inquisitive pokemon, aren't you?", Josh teased. Arcanine felt his face heat up a bit because of embarassment, but still looking at the healer curiously, wishing to be answered.

"Alright, you'll get your answers, but it requires some time, and patience as well."

"Go ahead. I'm not going anywhere, am I?", Arcanine replied flatly.

"Okay. Where should we start, hmm...", Josh began, "I was born in a wealthy family, in the town nearby this forest...uhm, that's mean I don't have to worry much about my needs, things like food, drink or accommondation...I lived with my parents. They loved and cared for me a lot, but...", Josh turned away. He didn't want Arcanine to see the tear rolling on his cheek. But Josh still failed to hide his emotion, as Arcanine could clearly saw his human friend shivering.

"Are you okay, Josh? Is there something wrong?", Arcanine asked concernedly.

"No. I'm....fine...", Josh struggled to reply, "My parents...they passed away ten years ago in a car accident."

"I'm sorry.", the fire pokemon said softly.

"It's okay. I'm used to it. Since then, I've been living alone. It was pretty hard, cuz I have to do everything myself. I had to struggle to protect my parents' heritage and proceed my life as a normal person. Sometimes, I feel really exhausted, to the point that I just wished my life, all of it, was a nightmare; a really, really bad dream...", while telling his story, Josh could feel Arcanine lean closer to him and gently brush his soft fur against him, forming a comforting gesture. It made Josh felt surprisingly warm, because he hadn't had anyone comfort him before.

"Why do I become a healer? It is yet another long story. It started about three years ago. One day, I happened to go into this forest. I didn't know what gotten into me, because I'd never gone into a forest before that day, but...yeah. I guess I just wanted to enjoy some naturally fresh air. And I found something that changed my life since then - A Quilava....

When I found him, he was exactly like you: Wounded, starved and incredibly stubborn...", Josh paused and smiled playfully at Arcanine, "...And he was going to die. I could have let him there, but my conscience didn't allow me to do such a heartless thing, so I brought him along to my house....

I treated his wounds and fed him. But when he'd gotten well enough to return to the forest, Quilava...somehow got attached to me..."

"I can see why. Who wouldn't be attached to such a cute, kind and caring person like you.", Arcanine thought, but blushed again, "Damn, this is the second time I've said 'cute'. What the heck is wrong with me?"

"Of course I knew that it would be better for Quilava if I released him, and trust me, I have absolutely no problem doing so, but he insisted, and even begged me to let him stay, so I told myself 'Why not?'. I was too tired of my old life, of being alone. I kept him, not as a pet but as a little brother, a friend, and I even named him Ty...

We had a great time together, and I really wished that our happy life could go on like that forever, but no...Once again, happiness slipped away from my hands...

You can guess what happened next, right? Ty didn't make it, and it was all my fault. I didn't take care of him well enough, I left him to die, and I couldn't even be next to him in his last moment...", Josh found himself almost unable to speak, and this time, his voice was choked with pain and tears started rolling on his cheek again. Arcanine was shocked, but he acted by instinct and leaned in to lick those tears away, "I'm sorry, Josh. I shouldn't have asked. I'm such a fool."

"No, it's not your fault.", Josh shook his head sadly, "After that, I swore to become a healer, because I never want to see any pokemon dying again."

...

Both human and pokemon went to a stage of silence as Josh finished his story. Josh was, obviously, unable to say anything else, as his mind was flooded by the his past's painful memories. Arcanine, on the other hand, wanted to say comething to comfort his friend, but couldn't think of anything to say. The pokemon regretted having been so nosy. Arcanine thought Josh was an intering person, and he just wanted to know a little more about the healer, but he didn't expected Josh's life to be hard and sorrowful.

"Josh...are you really okay?", Arcanine asked concernedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Uhm, so what to do now?", Josh said flatly and shook his head, which even worried the pokemon even more.

"How about going for a walk. I think we both need some fresh air.", Arcanine suggested.

"Sounds good."

"Alright, then let's...ugh!!!", the pokemon replied, but suddenly, he felt an intense wave of heat spread through his body. The heat...it made him felt unpleasant, weak and woozy.

"Hey, what's wrong??? Hey!", Josh asked as he saw Arcanine's strange reactions.

"I..I feel so...dizzy...", the pokemon tried to respond with a shaky voice. His vision became blurred, and soon, his legs gave in as he blacked out and collapsed.

(Two hours later)

"Dammit!", Josh cursed and rubbed his forehead, wipping away the sweat, "I've checked him carefully many times, and I still don't know what's wrong with him. His health is in the perfect condition, and he showed no signs of any disease, so what the fuck could have been wrong?"

"Josh...", Arcanine stirred and muttered unconsciously. Josh immediately went to the pokemon and sat down next to him, placing his hands on Arcanine's mane and stroking it gently, "I'm here. I'm right here. It's going to be alright."

Arcanine slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Josh, looking at him tenderly. Those deep, blue eyes of his, they were just so...beautiful, so warm. And the way Josh caressed his mane, it felt really good, and it made him calm.

That wasn't all. Arcanine could feel the heat in his body rise again, this time, it wasn't intense, but slow and steady. His body itched and yearned for the healer's gentle strokes, and Arcanine could clearly tell that he was getting aroused, just by catching Josh's scent, as his cock started to poke out slightly from the sheath. The pokemon struggled to keep his erection down, but he wasn't sure how long he could last.

"How are you feeling?", Josh asked concernedly.

"I...I felt weird. Inside me...it keeps getting hot and I...don't know how to stop it.", Arcanine managed to inform his friend.

"I'm sorry, Arcanine. I tried my best, and I'm absolutely sure that you didn't catch any kind of disease. Is there anything that you haven't told me? Yesterday...what did those hunters do to you?"

"It was the drug..."

"Drug?", Josh tilted his head in a confusing manner.

"When the hunters tried to capture me, I heard them saying something about...breeding my kind. They wanted to use me as a test subject, and they injected me with some kind of...strange liquid, some kind of...drug."

"Fuck, I got it!!! That drug makes any pokemon injected with it in heat, almost like he or she is in the mating season.", Josh thought, "I need to help Arcanine, but...what should I do now? I've encountered many kind of diseases, but this one...it's so off the hook. And to make it even worse...I don't what the hell is going to happen if I leave him like this. The aphrodisiac may have negative side effects that could threaten his life."

"Arcanine...", Josh started, "The drug those hunters injected you with, is an aphrodisiac. Now before I explain what an aphrodisiac is, I need you to answer these questions honestly.."

Arcanine simply nodded. His pantings was getting faster as every second passed by.

"Good. Now, do you feel something wrong with your body? The tempature, the heart rate, the senses? Is there any kind of urge or itching feeling to...mate?"

Arcanine knew it would be embarrassed to admit that he was incredibly horny, however, the pokemon also knew he had no other choice, because that was the only way for Josh to help him, "Y-yes. The heat inside me...it just keeps rising and my heart is beating so fast. P-please, help me Josh! I can't take it much longer!"

"That's the problem here. You see, an aphrodisiac is a substance that increases your sexual desire, just like you are in the mating season...", Josh replied and scratched the back of his head, "I've never been in this kind of situation before and to be honest, I don't know what to do. The only solution I could think of is for you to have sex, to reduce the effect of the drug temporarily. But...we don't have any partner for you, unless you want to do it with...", Josh blushed and turned away as he realized what he was about to say, "Oh God! No, no, no! What was I thinking about?"

However, Arcanine had already known what his friend meant, and somehow, it turned him on even more, as if the drug's effect wasn't enough. He didn't know how to describe this feelings. It wasn't simple lust, there was something else, because not only his body, but his heart also yearned for it.

"Josh...I don't know how you would think about *panted* what I'm going to say, but please...just listen because I'm being honest with myself, and with you too."

"Uh huh...", Josh nodded.

"You might think this is disgusting and immoral, because we are both male, and we aren't even the same species, but I just you to know. I love you, I really do!", Arcanine confessed. His face, which had already been hot and red because of the drug, got even hotter now, "You're all that I want right now, so please...do it for with me!"

"I...I don't know...", Josh stammered and fell back a few steps, "I need some time to think about it."

Josh's mind was crowded by thoughts that kept flooding out uncontrollably. The healer had been living such a busy life that he barely had time to...think much about his sexuality, and he was sure that he had never come up with the idea of being homosexual, leave alone...having sex with a male pokemon!!!??? Well, Josh had nothing, absolutely nothing against gay people. If someone was kind to him, he would treat that person with the same, if not more amount of kindness.

But now, back to his main problem. Should he do it, or should he not? So far, Josh had only seen Arcanine as a friend, a really, really good friend , but he didn't expect their relationship to escalate this fast. His mind was telling him that he shouldn't do it. It was wrong, it was insane. But at the same time, Josh could clearly see that Arcanine was suffering, and he desperately wanted to do something to help the poor creature.

But that wasn't all. When he was thinking, his eyes somehow drifted to Arcanine's groin, and he almost gasped when he saw the beast's raging erection. It was pointy, it was red, and it was...huge! It took Josh only a few seconds to realize that he was getting hard too, and before soon, his mind was completely overwhelmed by lust.

"So what if I do this? Just this one time. As long as nobody finds out, it should be okay. Beside, all of this is just to help Arcanine.", Josh told himself mentally. Slowly approaching Arcanine and sitting down next to him, Josh stroked the pokemon's head softly, "I'll do it. I'll help you. Everything will be alright"

"Thank you!", Arcanine whispered. Then, much to Josh's surprise, the pokemon leaned in and pressed his muzzle against Josh's lips. The moment their made that intimate contact, Josh felt like there was a current of electricity run through his entire body. It was simply...amazing, the most amazing feeling he'd experienced so far. Josh closed his eyes and let Arcanine take the lead, as the pokemon licked his lips softly and pushed his tongue into Josh's slightly agape mouth. The big, wet tongue gentle fondled Josh's, then twisted around and licked every corner inside Josh's mouth. Before long, Josh was taken into the kiss as he returned the favour with fierce passion.

However, they both soon went out of breaths and had to break the blissful kiss reclutantly. Josh panted and gasped for air as Arcanine gave him a lick on his cheek, asking, "Did you enjoy that?"

"Incredible!", Josh replied with a smile, "Where did you learn all this stuff?"

"I don't know. I've never done it before. Just now, I kinda...followed my instinct."

"Instinct!? Oh wow, you're a natural. I can't wait to see what else you can do.", Josh teased, making Arcanine blush even harder, "Awww, you look so cute while blushing like this. I think I actually start to love you, Arcanine..."

Arcanine was blushing so hard that he couldn't say anything in respond, and his reaction only made Josh more excited. Patting the pokemon's head slightly, Josh asked, "So, let's continue this, shall we?"

The pokemon nodded shyly, and Josh wasted no time as he took off his clothes, slowly revealing his delicious body to the hungry Arcanine. The pokemon's eyes beamed as he looked at Josh's naked form. Arcanine thought Josh was handsome, but he hadn't expected the healer to be quite fit and toned (well, Arcanine had always been proud of his muscular figure, and this was the first time he saw someone as fit as him). Noticing that Arcanine was staring at him with a dreamy expression, Josh chuckled, "What? Do I look that weird?"

"Huh?", Arcanine snapped from his daydream and shook his head, "N-No...I think that you're gorgeous. I've never met anyone sexier than you, honestly..."

"Thanks!", Josh replied and smirked devilishly, "Now, let me take care of this little guy for ya..."

"Eh?", was all Arcanine could say, before Josh sneakily trailed his hand down to the pokemon's lower region and gave his needy a firm grip. Arcanine was taken by surprise by this as he had to try his best to stifle a howl of pleasure. His cock twitched and spurts of hot pre bursted out from the tip, smearing all over Josh's hand, not that he complained though. Josh utilised the pre as a lubricant, making it easier for him to masturbate the pokemon's hot, massive cock. He ran his forefinger around the tip, collecting some more pre, then slid his hand up and down the shaft, much to Arcanine's pleasure.

Josh continued stroking the pokemon's shaft for a few minutes, until his hand and Arcanine's cock were all wet and slippery because of the pre. Josh brought his hand to his face and sniffed it. The smell was...weird. Curious, he licked the pre on his hand, only to be surprised at the taste. It wasn't fragrant, but very warm, savory...strangely addictive. Josh wanted more of the fluids, and he knew just where to get it.

Smirking lewdly, Josh looked at Arcanine and asked, "Did you like that?", to which the pokemon responded by a simple nod, and that was all Josh needed to proceed, "Then you gonna love this."

Catching Arcanine by surprise again, Josh flickled his tongue out and rolled it over the pokemon's pre-covered cock. Arcanine gasped and this time, he was unable to hold back the howl of pleasure. The human's soft and warm tongue gave him the most wonderful sensation he had experienced so far. And the same could be said by Josh. The warm, salty pre, combined with the shaft's own intense heat made Josh feel dizzy each time he gave Arcanine's cock a lick.

Softly kissing the tip, Josh collected every last drop of delecious pre and savour the taste before gulfing it down greedily. He then brought his head down the shaft and took it into his mouth, but almost gagged because of its huge size. Nevertheless, Josh managed to relax his throat and take most of the needy length, with the exception of the knot.

Now that was taken care of, Josh wasted no time as he started to bring his head up and down, sucking Arcanine off with a decent pace. The pokemon grunted as Josh orally pleasured him, and all he could do was laying still, letting the healer in full control. Josh dragged his tongue along the sexy cock and pushed it to the roof of his mouth to get more friction, while gripping the huge knot and stroking it slowly, adding more pleasure to the oral treatment.

As seconds passed, bit after bit of Arcanine's mind slowly went blank because of the pleasure he was receiving and his breathing was increasing rapidly. Every time Josh bobbed his head up and down, every time Josh gave his cock a tender lick, Arcanine felt like there were waves of ecstasy running through his body. He started to instinctly thrust into the wet enclosure of Josh's mouth. The healer had no problem with that as he was trying to get more and more of the pokemon's hot cock into his mouth.

Soon, the wonderful blowjob pushed Arcanine closer to his climax. Arcanine noticed it too, and despite the fact that nothing would make him more happy than being able to release in Josh's wonderful mouth, the pokemon still wanted Josh to know, and be the one to decide it. So, using the last bit of his will, Arcanine managed to inform Josh with a shaky voice, "...Josh, I'm *panted* so close. If you don't wish to continue, we can *panted* stop here..."

Josh didn't say anything to respond. Instead, he went on with the assault, this time twice faster. Arcanine gasped as he just realized that Josh had to intent to stop, and if that was what the healer wanted, then the pokemon had no problem giving it to him.

Josh felt the cock in his maw twitch a little, and he had only one second to prepare himself, before a thick, creamy and extremely hot blast of pokemon cum shot straight to his throat, filling his stomach and leaving an intense rich, salty flavour in his mouth as Arcanine emptied himself in the healer's maw. Josh had expected Arcanine's load to be big, but his expectation was nowhere near to this. The healer felt like he was swallowing a bowl of hot, steamy onion soup, and it made him dizzy.

The massive ejaculation lasted for nearly a good minute, before the huge spurts of cum became small trickles and eventually stopped. Josh continued to suck until there wasn't a single drop if Arcanine's delicious fluid left, much to the pokemon's delight.

Slowly, Josh eaied the hot cock out of his mouth, only to noticed in shock that it was still hard like steel. Semmed like one single blowjob wouldn't be enough, but what else could Josh do? Another blowjob. Nah, that would be pretty boring, and besides, his mouth and throat were all sore because of the oral service he had just offered Arcanine.

However, Josh soon came up with a new idea, althought it kinda scared him a little. After all, he was a virgin and boy...would it be wise to try something like Arcanine's cock for your first time?

"Well, I'll never know if I don't give it a shot...", Josh muttered. He looked at the huge cock again, imaginng how it would feel to have it stuffed deep within him. It made him shiver with lust. It gave him more confidence to proceed. Kneeling down next to Arcanine, Josh asked, "Feel better?"

"A little bit.", Arcanine said shakily in respond, "But I still...need more...I'm sorry, Josh, but...can you help me...again?"

"I was hoping that you would say that. Okay, I'll help you, but this time, let's try something new.", Josh suggested. And while Arcanine was trying to figure out what the healer meant to do, Josh had already turned around and got on his hands and knees, exposing his rear to the beast.

"Wait...you want me to...to mount you?", Arcanine stammered in shock. He just couldn't believe Josh would go this far to help him. The pokemon felt extremely grateful towards Josh. Arcanine knew that it was the right decision to place his heart, his love in the healer, and he really hoped that Josh would come to accept his feeling, so that they could always share something special.

But Arcanine quickly shook his head to discard those dreams about him and Josh in the future, because right now, all he wanted to do was to pound that incredibly sexy ass that Josh had to offer. Carefully approaching the healer, Arcanine straddled the bending human and whispered softly into his ears, "Do you really want to do this? We can stop right now if you want to."

"The problem is: Do you want to stop?", Josh responded with a teasing smile, almost looked like he was mocking the pokemon, "Come on, I said that I would help you, and that's what I'm doing right now. So hurry up before I change my mind!"

"Alright. But...I think we could use some lubricant over here.", Arcanine said and ran his tongue over Josh's neck, sending chills to the healer's body. The pokemon then slowly dragged his oral tool along Josh's back, making the healer shudder in anticipation, before reaching his primal target: Josh's anal entrance.

Josh gasped as he felt a wet, papery tongue swept over his exposed anus, lapping his entrance and covering it with slick, warm saliva. When he was done with the outside, Arcanine continued his work as he pushed his tongue into Josh's hole and snaked it deep inside, carefully rimming the healer. It was gonna be a rough sex, and if Arcanine wanted to have a second time after this (or at least he hoped so), he'd better be careful and...gentle.

Withdrawing his tongue, Arcanine whispered into Josh's ears, asking for the final approval from the healer, "Are you ready?"

"Been waiting for ages. Come on, do it already.", Josh replied immediately. Arcanine's heasitation had really annoyed him.

Not wasting any time, Arcanine positioned his erection at Josh's entrance and pushed in. Josh winced in pain as the huge tip slowly made its way into his anus. It was rather difficult, despite the rim job Arcanine had given Josh earlier. Nevertheless, Josh tried to surpass the pain, forcing his mind to think of only one thing: The wonderful feeling to have that hot rod completely stuffed within him. And he wasn't disappointed.

After having struggled for nearly a minute, Arcanine finally managed to slide his cockhead into Josh's ass, easily followed by most of his length (except the knot). Josh moaned in delight as he felt the pokemon's shaft spread him bit by bit, slowly filling the void with warmth and pleasure. Arcanine stopped as he felt his knot come in contact with Josh's rear, giving the healer time to get accustom to him. As much as he wanted to just pound the brain out of the healer, Arcanine still had enough will left to tell him not to, for if he did, this would be the first, and also the last time he got to fuck the young man.

However, Josh had different thoughts. Overwhelmed by the intense sensation of being taken for the first time, Josh could no longer control his mind. The heat radiating from Arcanine's every cock buried deep inside him had driven Josh crazy with lust. He wanted to be fucked roughly, so that he could feel every last bit of power from the proud and mighty beast that was Arcanine.

"Come on, Arcanine!", Josh pushed, "What are you waiting for? I know you want this, so do it! Fuck me! Show me your true power, don't pretend to hold back any more!"

"Don't you regret it!", Arcanine thought, and right after that, he did just what the healer had told him to do, pulling his cock out to the point where only the tip remained inside, and immediately slamming it back home. Josh grunted at the combination of pain and pleasure, feeling that hot rod being dragged back and forth, leaving him empty inside and then filling it again with warmth. But Josh wasn't the only one who was enjoying himself.

Plunging himself again and again in the healer's tight little hole, Arcanine moaned in satisfaction as he felt his cock being squeezed by Josh's warm body, almost like those anal passages were trying to push the oversized invader out, but only ended up adding more to the pokemon's pleasure. And to make it even better, Arcanine didn't have to go slowly, for Josh had given him the permission, the right to be aggressive. He pounded the human beneath him with all of his might, not holding back any bit until he could pour plenty of seed into that cute little hole.

The heat was intense. Indeed, the only thing could be heard in the cave was a combination of wet, slapping sound and the moans of pleasure from both parties. For every powerful thrust, Arcanine buried more and more of his pulsing maleness deep inside the youngster's bowels, and the tight ass would simply clamp down around it, Josh could only say the experience was too good. No, it was beyond good. It was perfect. Not only was the pokemon's organ filling him to the brim, but also jabbing his protate with each merciless thrust from the horny beast.

"Harder...please!", Josh begged between moans, and Arcanine would simply oblige, torturing the hungry ass with deep, powerful thrusts. His knot striking Josh's buttcheeks repeatedly, and his cock just wouldn't stop spilling heated pre into that abused hole, making it all slimmy and...tasty to be pounded. They were putting up one hell of a sex show, and you would really find it almost impossible not to enjoy it if you were the audience. Even Josh surprised himself by the way he was acting: Moaning like a slut and begging a pokemon to plunge his mating tool inside him? He smiled inwardly, wondering if this was how it felt to be in heat. The lust...it was almost insatiable.

They continue the mating for over thirty minutes, and Josh had started to feel a little exhausted. Normally, Arcanine wouldn't last this long, but in case anyone forgot, he was still affected by the aphrodisiac. However, everyone had his limit, and the almighty Arcanine was no exception. Josh could feel the pokemon's breathing was getting erratic while his thrusts becoming more powerful, more aggressive than ever, almost like he was trying to drive Josh to the ground. And then, to the human's surprise (and horror), Arcanine suddenly slammed his body against Josh's as hard as he could, trying desperately to force his knot into the youngster.

"What are you doing? No, stop! It won't fit...Arggggg!!!", Josh cried out in argony, but it was too late. Arcanine had completely lost control of himself and now, he was trying to shove that swollen ball of flesh into the tight hole. Tears started to roll down Josh's cheeks as he was stretched beyond his limit, and he could hardly do anything but to endure.

Suddenly, Josh felt something change. The pressure that was tearing his entrance apart started to disappear, bit by bit. May be Arcanine had regained his conciousness and realized that Josh was suffering? Was he pulling back?

But when Josh looked between his legs, he just couldn't believe in his eyes.

"It...it's going in! Oh my God!", Josh gasped in unbelievable pleasure. Finally, with one powerful push, Arcanine managed to slide his knot into the human, tying him with Josh. The pokemon gave a few small thrusts before letting out a thunderous roar as he reached his limit and exploded inside Josh.

Arcanine's balls throbbed as he dumped his hot, fertile seed deep inside Josh's bowels, coating him throughoutly with warmth. Josh closed his eyes and enjoyed the sheer estacy of being filled, and the pleasure also brought him to his own orgasm as he sprayed his load to the ground, forming a small, sticky puddle. Arcanine just kept cumming, and not a single drop of his heated cream was able to escape the human's ass, thanks to the bulbous knot logded firmly in his rear.

After five minutes of nonstop orgasm, Josh was extremely full, and just when he thought Arcanine's seed was about to reach his stomach, the pokemon's huge gushes of cum were slowly reduced to small trickles.

Having been completely spent, Josh collasped onto the ground, followed by Arcanine as the pokemon's soft belly furs pressed against Josh's back. Both gasped for air, and neither could barely believe that they had actually done it, but they had. Human and pokemon engaged in an incredible mating session.

"So...Feel better this time?", Josh asked while regaining his breaths.

"Y-yes. It was...I don't know how to describe it...", Arcanine panted weakly, and Josh smiled, "Now that will settle down the drug's effects for at least a few hours...Ugh, my ass! I don't think that I will be able to walk properly for at least one week."

"Josh...", Arcanine whispered, softly nuzzling the human with his muzzle, "Do you...love me?"

The young man went silent for a while, then chuckled, "Do you promise that you won't set me on fire if I say 'no'?"

Arcanine's ears dropped, but then he felt a warm hand on his cheek, bring his head closer to Josh's and stroking his furs gently, "Just kidding. My answer is 'yes'. I do love you, Arcanine, so from now on, stay with me, and be my happiness. I've lost it twice, and I don't want to lose it again. Promise: Stay with me, and always love me."

"Thank you...", the pokemon replied, licking his lover's cheek tenderly, "I promise."


(Now, in case you wonder why I only used the word 'lover' once, at the end of this story, here's the reason: During the whole story, Arcanine and Josh were simply having sex. It came out from pure lust, and only in the end did they realize their feelings for each other)
