A blinding flash of orange and tan races by the house, followed soon after by another. Alex walks after them, along with Arkanon, and their son, the shiny Growlithe hybrid. As Conleth watches his siblings, he catches a scent in the air. As he turns, he sees his aunt walking hand in hand with Jade and Jeovi following closely.

"Aunt Saki! Can I have a cookie?" Conleth asks; his human speech already as good as his Pokéspeak. Arkanon growls softly at the boy, reminding him that it's almost dinner time. As Conleth turns and howls, Cerberus and Layla stop playing to return to their mother's side.

"Momma, Cerberus blew fire at me!" Layla exclaims, her hybrid features already beginning to show. She walks on two legs and has almost human looking hair. Her fur is closer to flesh coloring and her hands have begun to shift from paws. Cerberus on the other hand looks like a normal Growlithe.

"No way, Mom, Layla's lying!" Cerberus yells, almost knocking his sister over. Conleth grabs onto his mother's leg, hiding behind her. Conleth looks almost like a normal human boy, only his ears, tail, and eyes giving him away, along with his golden hair. Arkanon and Alex were surprised to find the differences in hybridization appearing so early in their children, most hybrids not "evolving" into their human forms until they went through their first heat.

"Sweetheart, what have I told you about being mean to your sister?" Alex asks, looking pointedly at Cerberus. The little pup lowers his ears and rolls onto his back, showing submission to his mother.

"You told me to be nice to her, and be nice to Conleth." Cerberus replies, a soft whimper echoing in his voice. As the hybrid pup rises to his feet, he's immediately tackled by his sister, the more humanoid Growlithe snarling as she grips her brother's neck with her teeth. Conleth continues clinging to his mother, the only reaction he gives is of fear.

As Saki leads the kids back inside, Alex and Arkanon look into the forest, an uneasy feeling washing over the human girl as her mate stands proudly at her side, his fur shining in the setting sun's light like a blazing flame. From the darkness, a pair of glowing red eyes watches the family, a vicious smile plays across a shadowed face.

"At last, I've found you. You're mine Jeovi."

As the family eats their dinner, Alex has to prevent Layla from flinging a spoonful of potatoes at Conleth, but before she can move, a cold chill runs down her spine and makes her freeze.

"Saki, please, take the kids and put them in their balls. Jade, come with me, Arkanon, stay with Saki." Alex whispers as her eyes go wide at the feeling. Unknown to her, her eyes have begun to glow a molten red, and her sister realizes something is terribly wrong. As she recalls the kids into their Pokéballs, she nods to Jade to go with her.

"Alex, what's wrong? I can feel your aura and it's very off. Something is wrong, so don't deny it." Jade whispers, earning a terrified look from her mate's little sister.

"Jade, Earlier when we were outside, I could feel this strange darkness in the forest, almost like it was burning with hatred and trying to consume me. Just now, I felt like my blood was freezing in my veins. All I know is that we're all in grave danger as long as we stay here, and while this is my home, I have a family now that I need to protect. Please, can you use your power to read the area and see if something's around here?" Alex comments, a small energy flame burning in her left hand as she stares out the glass door into the edge of the forest. Jade nods and closes her eyes, her body beginning to glow a deep green color as she senses the life force of the surrounding area. Suddenly, her eyes snap open and for a moment, Alex notices a look of fear washing over her before it's gone.

"There is something here. I can't see it, but I know it's there because it isn't." Jade comments, sounding drained from her use of energy. Alex is confused and looks at her with a raised eyebrow.

"My kind cannot see Dark Pokémon types. They appear as black spots in our vision. This being is malicious, intent on death and it reeks of decay. This being thrives on hatred and revenge, it thirsts for blood. That is what my instinct says about it. I could feel death around it like a shield. This being is dangerous, Alex, and we should leave very soon before it can find us." Jade explains, deciding not to tell the woman that the blood she senses coating this being is that of countless hybrids, and the blood of Jeovi and her pups is mixed in.

"You tell Saki that it's time for us to leave. I'll break the news to Jeovi myself. She's grown comfortable here, so it might be difficult for her to have to move. Our parents weren't rich, but they do have several houses in the different regions provided for them by their job. All of them were willed to us when they died. I'm sure we can go to one of them." Alex comments, quickly leading Jade back into the house. As they go towards the back bedroom to pack their things, Saki bursts into the room.

"Alex, what the hell was that? All of a sudden you froze like a Deerling in headlights and your eyes glowed red, and then you took off. Now you're packing suitcases. What the hell happened to you?" Saki growls, her tone almost hostile towards her sister.

"Jade sensed a Dark type Pokémon. It was hostile, and scared her. This Pokémon is powerful, dangerous, and intent on wiping us all out. So either help me pack, or get ready to die helping me defend this house. We're moving to one of the other houses Mom and Dad had in the other regions. Get Princess and Jade ready to go. I've gotta pack for Thunderbuzz and the others. Make sure we don't forget the kids' stuff." Alex comments, heading towards her room to see Jeovi. She finds the fox cowering under the bed, giggling maniacally.

"How does it feel? Are you enjoying it? Do you want to join them? I can end it you know, yes, yes I can end it." Jeovi rambles, before bursting into tears. As Alex approaches her, Jeovi growls viciously at the woman before trying to slash at her.

"I told you you couldn't save me! I told you he'd come for me, and now he has, we've been found, yes, and soon the blood of your puppies will coat his evil claws, and then your mate's blood and insides will be his outsides. He might have pity on your sister, but the pretty one might just be taken as a trophy too. He doesn't allow your kind, he loved me, so I'm alive. But you'll be bones on the ground. Bones to be buried by the dogs, yes, the dogs." Jeovi rants, pacing around the room and almost foaming at the mouth with fear. As Alex recalls her into the Pokéball, she silently promises to protect the insane fox.

It takes nearly four hours, but as the moving truck arrives, and the Machoke pick up all of their belongings, Alex, Saki, Jade, Arkanon and their Pokéball-dwelling teams are loaded into the truck and carted off to the Arceanus Manor on a small island near the Sky Pillar in the Hoenn Region. As the moving truck arrives on the island, teleported there by a team of Alakazam, Alex and Saki walk towards the mansion through the patches of cut grass. Jade fell asleep in the truck, so Saki recalled her, but Arkanon refuses to leave his mate's side. Alex is surprised when a young Pidgey startles from the grass, followed by a few Tailow and a Spearow.

"Hey, sis, I didn't know this island was even inhabited. I thought Mom and Dad only moved here to have access to Sky Pillar." Alex comments before being stopped by her sister.

"No, flying types frequently come here to rest. But a strange electric signal would pop up every time they tried to build on it. Mom thought that she could figure out why this island has a natural electric field running through it. It turns out somewhere in that mountain range on the back of the island, there's a Zapdos lair." Saki replies before producing the key for the manor from her pocket. As she opens the door, a chandelier flickers to life.

"Hey sis, does this place have motion activated lights?" Alex asks, her tail still puffed out behind her despite her attempt at threading the irritating appendage through her belt loops. As Saki turns to comment to her, the light in question slowly floats down from the ceiling and gives a haunting wail. Alex proceeds to jump several feet into the air while Arkanon, her loyal mate lets loose a fierce bark from her side, his collar translating it into a not-so-fierce string of unintelligible swearing. Saki sighs and takes her Pokédex out of her other pocket and holds it up.

** ** Chandelure, the Luring Pokémon, Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit leaving the body behind to wander the world forever. Evolves from Lampent. This Pokémon is a ghost/fire type at level 15. This Pokémon is female.

"See, sis? It's just a Pokémon. Nothing to worry about, and you, should do a better job protecting my sister you big fluffy idiot." Saki replies, the last part directed with an icy glare to Arkanon, cowering behind Alex with a look of shame in his eyes. As she turns, Saki hears her sister muttering "My hero" under her breath, though whether to her or Arkanon she's unsure. As the sibling pair walks into the manor and begins exploring, they're met with a yelp from another Pokémon resident of the building.

"MIME!" The yelp startles Alex yet again, but this time she's able to get her breathing under control as she recognizes the figure as her mother's loyal Mr. Mime. As Alex squeaks and runs up to the old Pokémon the Mr. Mime in question hugs the girl and gently plants a kiss on her forehead like he used to when she was a child.

"Wow, I'm amazed you're still around." Saki mutters under her breath as she releases Jade from her Pokéball to avoid anymore unwanted interactions with potentially dangerous residents of the manor.

"So, we're here then Saki?" Jade yawns as she stretches gracefully, giving a slight twirl as she wakes up fully. Saki nods and gently runs a hand through Jade's hair before leading her off in search of a suitable bedroom. The Chandelure has decided to follow them to light the way, making her intentions known to the powerful Gardevoir. Alex, Arkanon, and the Mr. Mime are left in the middle of the living room to sort through the numerous boxes being unloaded by the Alakazam and Machoke.

"That should be everything, Miss. Where do you want the furniture for the bedrooms?" One of the Alakazam asks telepathically as he holds out a clipboard for Alex to sign. As she takes the pen and signs her name she looks up at the Pokémon.

"I don't know where Saki wants her stuff, but my furniture should go into the room on the second floor next to the greenhouse. The dog bed should go there too, but the kids' furniture should go in the room next to that." Alex comments, mentally noting that she wants Layla's room to be her own, not shared with Conleth and Cerberus. As the Alakazam teleports with the furniture into the rooms, Alex takes her kids' Pokéballs from her belt and releases them, Conleth staggering a little from the disorientation caused by stasis mode. Layla and Cerberus both exit their balls without any issues, but Alex picks Conleth up to help him avoid falling.

"Why do we have to be in Pokéballs, Momma? It's confusing when I get out." Conleth complains, his eyes observing his mother with a drowsy expression. As Alex gently ruffles her son's golden hair, Cerberus chooses that moment to tackle Layla to the ground, almost toppling the Mr. Mime.

"Mime, mime MIME MIME!" The Pokémon yells, Alex smirking as her children cower before the elder Pokémon as he scolds them.

"I'm sorry about my kids, Mimey. They are quite a handful sometimes." She apologizes in near-perfect Pokéspeak.

"That's quite alright, Lex. I was unaware you had children already, your son looks almost human, that daughter of yours will be quite beautiful when she's grown. Your other son, however, needs to work on his manners." Mr. Mime replies, earning a nod from Alex as she glares at Cerberus, who merely smiles sheepishly at her. As Layla and Cerberus go running off to find their rooms, Conleth clings to Alex tightly, unwilling to let go for even a second. So they explore together, discovering the various rooms of the manor. Arkanon walks closely behind his mate, happy that the rooms and halls of this place are large enough to allow him to walk easily through without risking half the pictures hanging on the walls.

Saki runs back to Alex and asks her for the Pokéball containing Jeovi. As Alex hands over the ball, she silently wonders what her sister has in store for the Ninetales. Sighing, Alex turns and heads toward her room, her human looking son close to her side and her mate following slowly behind. Suddenly, Arkanon turns as he notices his children wandering off and stops Layla and Cerberus before they round the corner. As they stop, the massive Arcanine faces them and clears his throat, remembering the conversation his mate had with him in the moving van as they were entering the Island. "Kids, Alex told me this manor is open to any and all traveling Pokémon that need a place to rest. That being said, not all Pokémon will be kind to you because you own this place, nor because you're children. Many Pokémon are extremely territorial, and if any of them put up a fight, I want you to tell them who you are, and explain that your mother is a trainer and that she owns this Manor as the rightful guardian. They should leave you alone. Be careful kids." Arkanon comments, his eyes glowing darkly as he thinks of his children being hurt by any other creature. His kids nod and then run off, rounding the corner and disappearing down the hall as he goes back to spend some quality time with his mate.

Layla and Cerberus soon discover that the manor is far larger than their old house and wind up lost near the basement. As the sibling pair goes barging through the basement door, they discover that they are not the only ones in the manor, nor are they the only fire types. A burst of blue flames sends Layla flying backwards with a yelp, Cerberus standing in front of her and snarling at the intruder. The attack cuts off suddenly as the attacker realizes the intruders are merely children.

"Well if it isn't a couple of hybrid children. Welcome to the manor, kiddies." A voice calls out to them melodically. As Layla opens her eyes and rises to her feet, she's surprised to see a Blaziken female as the one who sent her flying.

"Why would you attack us for no reason? We're the children of Alex Arceanus, the daughter of the rightful owners of this place." Layla replies, remembering what her father told her to say if she encountered any strange Pokémon in the manor.

" Oh? So then you know Alex. She'll tell you two that I always attack first, ask later. You don't usually stop to chat when somebody intrudes on your territory." The bird replies, absentmindedly picking at her feathers. As Layla and Cerberus watch the Blaziken with fascination, they're unaware that a male Blaziken is slowly sneaking up behind the pups.

"Flare, what are you doing with these young dogs?" The voice of the male startles Cerberus badly enough that he yelps and hides behind his sister.

"These whelps are the offspring of my old trainer, Blazor. Apparently they've moved in here." Flare replies, ruffling her feathers as she thinks of her old owner.

"They won't try to capture us will they?" The male asks, seemingly disturbed by the thought of being crammed into a Pokéball.

At that moment, Alex proceeds to walk towards the basement, startled to find two full grown Blaziken glaring at her with her pups confined in a corner, cowering in fear.

"What the hell?! I can't even leave you two alone for a minute before you find the biggest Pokémon to pester, Layla, you're grounded young lady and... Flare? Flare is that you?" Alex cuts off suddenly, finishing her sentence in Pokéspeak after noticing the coloring of the female Blaziken. As the female chirps softly Alex nods to her.

"I wasn't aware you took up residence here, Flare. I assumed you and your mate would reside in a cave or elsewhere in the wild. Don't worry, I won't capture you or your mate, I've got my own set of rugrats to care for. Apparently you are used to human dwellings." Alex comments, her Pokéspeak coming across more formal than she intended. The Blaziken female looks up at her and chirps a quick reply before Alex gathers her two pups and carries them upstairs and into their bedrooms.

"Layla, Cerberus, you kids are both grounded for a week. I can't have you running off when that dark type could be lurking anywhere. Stay in your rooms, Conleth will inform me if you two take even one step out of line." Alex growls softly at her pups before Arkanon steps into the room and growls softly at his mate.

"You know pups will be pups dearest. You can't just restrict them and expect them to behave. However, they do need to learn where the den is, so they will be confined to their room until dinner time." Arkanon comments, his collar translating for him as usual. Alex smirks at her powerful Arcanine mate and nods. Alex closes the door and walks into her bedroom, flopping down onto her bed with a sigh before being joined by her beloved mate. A few minutes later, Jeovi calmly walks into Alex's room, her tails raised above her like nine furry tentacles.

"Jeovi, you are looking rather radiant today, even for a fire type." Alex comments softly, her eyes drifting over the abused fox.

"Yes, Saki decided to brush out my fur today. Did you know how delightful a brush can be? I feel a hundred years younger. I also took a bath. I wasn't aware this manor's bath was built for both humans and Pokémon. It was delightful." Jeovi chatters excitedly, showing off her silky fur with pride. Alex realizes that the fox barely resembles the Ninetales she found in the cave nursing a bunch of stones, half-mad with grief.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have you decided where you want to stay here, yet Jeovi?" Alex asks, wondering if the Ninetales would prefer staying with her, Saki, or alone. Jeovi looks up at Alex, a smile on her face.

"I think I can handle my own room for now, if you don't mind. You have Arkanon to room with, and Saki has her darling Jade to keep company, so if you both don't mind, I'll stick to my own space. Just make sure it's close to that delightful bath." Jeovi comments, her tails waving behind her as she walks away.

"For a female who can't go into heat, Jeovi certainly looks like she's ready for some male attention." Arkanon whispers after Jeovi leaves the room. Alex shakes her head and sighs at him.

"Ark, she's been through so much, I'm willing to bet if a male showed interest, she'd have no idea what to do. Not to mention I'm not sure how this works with Pokémon, but from what I thought, males aren't interested in a female who can't bear pups. Most of them ignore females who aren't in heat." Alex comments, her thoughts turning towards what Nameless must have done to Jeovi to break her so much.

"Alex, my dear mate, I'm not sure if you're just that innocent, or if you're actually stupid. I mean no offense, mind you, but while it's true a male's interest in a female's heat will drive him to force mating upon her, we aren't completely slaves to instinct. We can fall in love, it's one of the reasons I'm with you now. The Pokéball that keeps me at your side could break and I'd remain with you, not because of the effects of the device, but because I love you. There would be no lasting relationship between us without love. Were I only with you for your heat, you'd have had your pups, and I'd have left." Arkanon comments, sounding more like a human than Alex thought possible for the large canine. Alex sighs and leans into her mate's chest, the heat of his fur soothing her. Arkanon gently runs his tongue over Alex's head, earning a soft moan as she almost melts into him.

"I love you Arkanon. I always will." Alex sighs softly, almost unsure at first that the words even escaped her mouth until the Arcanine suddenly tenses. As Alex sits up, unsure if her mate is disturbed by her words, she's suddenly aware of a sharp intake of breath by her mate.

"Alex, you have no idea how amazing that felt to hear you say that. The effect you have on me is enough to electrify my body." Arkanon whispers through his translator, his voice husky with need. While both Pokémon and Human are aware that Alex isn't in heat, the effect of her words is evident by the reddish orange tip of the large canine's cock poking out from its sheath. Alex looks at her beloved companion and mate, her eyes beginning to glow with her desire.

Arkanon's cock is easily as long as her forearm, and nearly as big around as a small soda bottle. As the rest of his cock begins to slip from its sheath, Alex wonders how the massive length of it will ever fit into her. Alex ducks under her mate, the six foot fire dog standing still as his lithe red haired mate gently fondles his massive cock. Arkanon can feel his body heating up in preparation for mounting his sweet human trainer, his cock throbbing in Alex's hands as an idea forms in her head.

"Arkanon, please try not to burn me, alright babe?" Alex whispers before she gently leans closer to the tapered dark red tip of the Legendary's cock. Arkanon is unsure what she means at first until he feels a cool wet sensation over the tip of his length and realizes Alex is sucking on the tip of his cock. He has to force his temperature to lower, the normal release of heat coming from an Arcanine's body during the initial stages of mating would be fatal to a human, even a hybridized one such as Alex, but as she begins running her tongue over his length, it's all Arkanon can do to keep from finishing right then and there. As Alex takes one last lick of her mate's massive cock, Arkanon begins panting.

"My dear mate, I swear if I don't take you right now, I may literally explode." Arkanon comments between soft moans as the thick knot on the base of his cock begins to expand.

"Arkanon, please, I want you inside me. If I can push out three pups, I'm sure I can take your cock. I'm not entirely sure about the knot, but I want you to fuck me." Alex comments softly, standing from her place beneath her mate and slipping out of her clothes. Arkanon feels his temperature blaze as he's treated to the sight of his mate completely naked in front of him, her adorable tiger striped ears and fluffy tail making her look more like the kitsunes from their favorite cartoon show. As Alex smiles at her mate, she realizes he won't be able to wait much longer and so she gently positions the upper half of her body on their bed, a pillow under her to keep her sensitive breasts from being rubbed against the rough texture of the blanket. As she spreads her legs slightly, she's aware of just how warm she is as a cool breeze from the open window drifts across her bare pussy, causing her to shiver and her tail to puff out.

Arkanon watches as his mate shivers, her tail reflexively puffing up. The fire type smirks as he realizes how cute his mate's tail is and can't resist nibbling on it slightly. Alex moans at the sensation before her tail moves off to the side in a presenting manner, signaling her desire to be mounted. Arkanon growls possessively, sending another delicious shiver down his mate's back before her bare flesh is met with his warm fur. The massive fire type rests his thick forelegs on the bed as his hind end covers Alex in a blanket of thick, orange and tan fur. As the Arcanine's hips begin thrusting, he can feel his cock brushing over his mate's bare ass, not quite able to gain the entry he seeks. After a few moments, Arkanon feels the tapered tip of his cock hit a warm, moist opening and with a single thrust, he enters her depths.

Alex bites her lip until it begins to bleed slightly, the pain of being stretches so full in seconds almost too much for her to handle. As her resolve to please her mate in any way wins over her pain instinct, she relaxes, allowing Arkanon to begin thrusting into her. Within a few thrusts, Alex feels her body giving over to the pleasure, her mind turning to jello as her mate thrusts deeper and harder into her warm pussy. Arkanon is almost all the way inside her, her cervix unable to stand up to his constant thrusting since she's had their pups, when he feels his knot brushing her outer lips. Alex moans with each thrust, her breasts rubbing against the silky pillow and causing her nipples to harden as her mate's knot brushes her clit as he tries to force it inside her.

With a sudden burst of intense pressure, Alex feels Arkanon's knot being shoved into her depths and she cries out. Arkanon roars loudly as he feels his knot swell within his mate, beginning his rapid release within her. Alex howls as she's flooded with her mate's potent seed, the thin fluid having nowhere to go but deeper into her womb in a futile search for an egg to fertilize. As Alex continues panting and moaning with her release, she's aware that her pussy is stretched beyond what most humans would consider normal around a rather large and obscene Pokémon cock. The thought enters her mind of what somebody would think if they walked in on her in this position before she chases it out with the feeling of fullness from her Arkanon's seed in her womb. She can feel her mate proudly standing over her, his knot swollen within her as his cock continues pulsing his load into her depths. She can't help smiling that this powerful creature loves her, whether or not she's in heat, and wants to be with her forever.

After about half an hour, Arkanon's knot deflates enough for the two to separate, allowing Alex to lie down on her bed next to Arkanon, his body heat keeping her warm as she recovers. Arkanon notices that the door was open the entire time they were mating, and the thought that his pups are in the next room finally crosses his mind, causing his skin to darken in a blush beneath his thick fur. His wondering of what his pups thought and whether or not any bad will come of this is soon dismissed by his memory of them being told to remain in their rooms until dinner.

Saki soon walks into the room, intent on announcing dinner to the pair, but suddenly decides to leave them alone when she sees her sister is lying on the bed next to her mate with a suspicious fluid on her thighs and a fully satisfied grin on her face despite the fact that she's asleep. Saki sighs and mutters to herself about going at it like wild dogs before closing and locking their door, checking on her nephews and niece, and informing them that dinner is ready.

Alex and Arkanon wake later in the evening, the sun already low in the rapidly darkening sky. The six foot tall tiger striped dog yawns and stretches, his massive jaws and razor sharp teeth almost causing a shiver of fear in the smaller female human, before her mind registers that this jaw belongs to her mate, the father of her pups. Before Alex can stop herself, she reaches forward and gently runs a finger across the surface of Arkanon's fang, causing the fire type to pause in the middle of his yawn and watch his mate through heavy lidded eyes.

"They're so sharp." Alex whispers softly, barely noticing as her finger is grazed by the point of his tooth. Arkanon smells her blood, but allows her to continue playing until her curiosity is satisfied before speaking.

"Yes, and why would you touch them, my mate? Your finger bleeds from it." Arkanon whispers his reply, a deep rumbling growl sounding in his throat as the translating collar speaks for him.

"I'm not sure, but for some reason it's just amazing to me that your fangs can do such horrible damage to others, yet barely leave a scratch on me." Alex replies, her voice growing husky with desire.

"My little mate, we should check on the kids before bed, not to mention if you keep tempting me, soon you will have more trouble walking than you already do." Arkanon murrs in amusement, watching as Alex stiffly rises from the bed before making her way to the bathroom in a slow limp. As the Pokémon's tail lashes with pride at his lover's unsteady gait, Alex sighs and closes the bathroom door, turning the faucet on the tub to full blast. As the young woman feels her hair prickling with the moisture in the air from the steaming tap, she sighs, unable to stop a delicious shiver from running down her spine and causing her nipples to harden as she stretches in a catlike fashion.

Arkanon growls softly from the other side of the door before his footsteps inform Alex of his departure from the room. Alex releases a deep breath, her muscles sore from the rough mating with her loyal Pokémon lover. As the redhead stretches again, she's almost surprised when her tail stretches with her, despite the amount of time with the appendage, she still can't seem to get used to having it. As Alex decides the water is hot enough, she smoothes the fur on her tail and steps into the bath, sinking into the water with a pleased moan.

In her room, Layla notices her father walking through the door, his regal appearance reminding her of the kings commonly spoken of in fairy tales. As she looks to the powerful male, she can't help a primal stirring within her of instincts buried in her diluted heritage. As the Arcanine looks at her, she bares her teeth, a display of dominance pups her age would begin to practice in the wild. Arkanon growls deep and low, the note demanding respect from his daughter and effectively causing her to drop to her back in submission before her sire. At that moment, Conleth comes barging through the door, running into his father's flank with painful force.

"Daddy! Cerberus is breaking your rule!" He pants, his golden hair shimmering in the soft light of the room as the most human of the litter rests his hand against his father's soft fur and regains his energy. As Arkanon growls softly in frustration, Conleth's ears seem to move in a submissive drooping, uncommon for a human, but well known to Growlithe. As Arkanon sets off to retrieve his troublesome Growlithe son, Alex is blissfully unaware of anything but her bath.

In the depths of the warm bath water, Alex uses a small amount of her residual energy to warm the water further, creating what would be a painful heat for most normal humans, and even her own sister. Alex, however, is content with the hotter water, her hybrid birthing giving her the ability to withstand the temperatures her pups required to be born. As she picks up a soft sponge and lathers it with a rosewater soap, she's aware of just how long it's been since she's had a proper bath that didn't involve a river, or having to manually relight the water heater during any type of weather.

Alex sighs, having taken the simple things for granted for so long, as she gently rubs the soap over her frame, taking care to clean her tail with both soap and shampoo so the fur remains silky smooth. As Alex reaches her breasts, she's suddenly aware of how tender they've become and mentally curses being female before she remembers what joys the fairer sex can look forward to. As Alex begins rinsing her body off, she yelps as the soap enters the cut on her finger from where she ran it across Arkanon's fangs. Unknown to her, the yelp has attracted the attention of one of the wandering residents of the manor, a young Shuppet. As the ghost floats through the wall, Alex is startled by its sudden appearance.

"Holy shit! You scared me...what are you anyway?" She comments, forgetting that most Pokémon can only understand a few basic phrases until they're captured by a trainer. The ghost puppet simply floats closer to Alex and whimpers its name a few times.

"One second, I can't quite understand you when you're talking like that." Alex comments as she rises out of the bathwater and reaches for a towel to dry off and cover herself. The Shuppet looks at her and Alex swears she can see the puppet Pokémon blushing.

"I'm not sure how easily you can understand this, since I rarely use a ghost type dialect, but why are you interrupting my bath?" Alex inquires, her voice taking on a second tone, seeming to echo through the bathroom as she speaks to the Shuppet.

"Your voice is fine, human. I heard you scream and was close by. I wanted to make sure you were alright." The Pokémon replies, the tone rich and deep despite the haunting echo ringing through its core. Normally Shuppet feed on sadness and hatred, but unknown to Alex, this one is quite different.

"I'm fine though, I just got soap in my finger. I cut myself on an Arcanine's tooth. If you don't mind, I'd prefer to finish my bath in peace." Alex comments, her voice turning into somewhat of a growl towards the end of her sentence as the Shuppet blushes brighter and nods before appearing to vanish into the shadows of the room. Alex sighs again and unwraps the towel, drying her body thoroughly before shaking out her tail like a dog would and putting on a light robe and slippers.

"I expected this place to have a lot of Pokémon, but this is just ridiculous, I can't even take a bath in peace without something joining me." Alex mutters as she goes to check on her kids.

As Alex walks down the hall, she's unaware of Saki also heading towards her, and both are so lost in thought they fail to realize the other is there until they collide. As Alex falls to the ground, her robe opens and gives her elder sister a perfect view of her naked body. Saki bites back a moan as she extends her hand to her younger sister to help her stand up.

"Sorry about that, sis. I didn't see you there." Saki comments, blushing a rather bright red as she helps her sister to her feet. Alex quickly closes her robe and blushes an equally bright shade of red.

"It's alright, I was just heading to check on the kids, I think it's about time they were allowed out of their rooms to go play." Alex mumbles almost to herself. As she turns to walk away, Saki notices that the back of Alex's robe is stuck above her tail, giving Saki, and anybody who might walk behind the red haired beauty, a very picturesque view of her shapely ass. As Saki turns to walk away, she realizes that Alex will blame her if anybody else in the manor views her half naked body. With thoughts and images of an enraged fire breathing sister on her mind, Saki runs after Alex in an attempt to save both herself, and her sister's modesty.

"Alex, hey, wait up!" Saki calls as she finally catches up to Alex, her sister turning to face her before Saki can adjust the back of her robe.

"Yeah?" Alex asks, her eyes glaring into the icy blue orbs of her beloved elder sister. Saki smiles and before Alex can protest, she wraps her arms around her sister's waist, locks her lips in a deep kiss, and adjusts the robe so her tail is no longer giving the manor a view.

"Just wanted to say how much I love you, nothing more, nothing less." Saki replies, breaking the kiss and winking at Alex before turning on the ball of one foot and almost skipping down the hall. Alex growls softly, the kiss leaving her almost breathless again as she watches her sister heading towards her room. Alex remembers she was going to go check on her pups and heads back to their room, her tail lashing furiously beneath her robe, making it look like a fluffy snake writhing beneath the fabric.

I can't take much more of this. Getting jumped by both a horny Arcanine AND my own sister. Alex thinks as she regains her breath. As she turns and enters the room of her three pups, she's amazed to see Jeovi on the floor playing pounce with Cerberus and Layla. Looking at her from his bed is her son Conleth. Alex sighs as she watches him, too timid to join the others in play, yet wanting to. Alex motions for him to stay and be quiet, and turns to leave. As Alex enters her bedroom, she notices first the belt of Pokéballs laying on the dresser, two of them containing a Steelix and the Kabutops she discovered in the cave. Alex formulates an idea on how to train them and smirks wickedly, her eyes glowing with her fire as she grabs the belt and turns to leave.

"Going somewhere my mate?" Arkanon's smooth growl stops Alex in her tracks, her tail puffing out as she turns to face the fire dog.

"I was actually, to go train Kabutops and Steelix. I caught them so long ago and haven't bothered to do anything with them, so I'm going to take them to Sky Pillar where we can train." Alex comments before turning and walking away. Arkanon growls softly but allows his mate to leave.
