"Today's the day," a young man, Jason, nervously muttered as he pushed open the pine door and walked through the small doorway into his house's main corridor, "Yeah, I'll ask her today. I just hope it all goes well."

Shaking his head to regain his composure, he quietly closed the door and started down the short hallway to the living room.

"Ashi, I'm back. Did I miss anything," Jason asked out loud.

"Not really," answered a feminine voice from the far left room; the kitchen, "it's been pretty quiet so far. Hold on." There was a quiet shuffling as Ashi made her way from the kitchen to the doorway of the main hallway.

Poking her head around the corner of the door arch, she gave a small smile as she saw Jason and stepped into the hallway.

"So come on then. What did you buy," she asked with glee and mild curiosity, "I don't see any bags so it can't have been something that big."

Jason gave a slightly nervous laugh as he looked towards his pokémon and friend; taking in every detail of her body. She was a mienshao, and though others would say she was just like every other of her species, he knew she was different; she was special.

She still had the basic looks of a mienshao sporting pale white fur on her body and head with a light violet 'stripe' of fur around her waste, the same soft violet fur also clinging to her lower body and legs giving the impression of a pair of purple pants. She also had the same long tail that all mienshao have, covered in lush white fur and tipped with the same purple that made up her 'pants', as well as the long white and purple-tipped fur on her arms, long 'whiskers' blanketed in soft white and dark yellow fur and a small purple spot on top of her head with purple fur on her eyelids like natural eye-shadow.

Yet despite her similarities, she was still unique as she was slightly taller that most mienshao, being 1.5 metres tall, and seemed to have a slimmer body that easily showed off her hourglass figure. Besides her physical differences, she also had a completely different mindset to most mienshao. While others enjoyed fighting, and used every opportunity to strengthen themselves, she disliked fighting and instead preferred to stay at home and help with household chores. He guessed her gentle nature was what he liked best.

"Hello, anyone home," she asked waving her paw in front of his eyes causing him to gasp and look away with a mild blush.

"S-Sorry, I was miles away," he said, nervously rubbing the back of his neck, "A-Anyway, I was wondering if we could, perhaps, talk about something. I mean, in the living room."

Looking puzzled, Ashi tilted her head slightly and gave a small nod before following him past the doorway on the right and into the living room.

As he led her to the black, leather couch in the middle of the living room, she couldn't help but think about him. To others, he was the very definition of average. He had short, messy, brown hair and deep brown eyes. He was of average build, being neither skinny nor fat, and average height being 1.6 metres tall. His skin was fair and he had no notable scars or bruises. He was, as he had said himself, of average intelligence and almost always wore a plain, green T-shirt and cream coloured trousers. But despite how average and unimpressive he seemed, she knew he had a loving and compassionate heart; always putting others before himself. She liked that about him the most.

Noticing he was sitting on the couch and was patting the soft, couch cushion next to him, she broke out of her trace and gently sat next to him. Grinning nervously, he swallowed hard and looked into her eyes. In her eyes, he saw cheerfulness and compassion and almost immediately felt calm. Looking deeper into her eyes, he gave a slight smile as he remembered how he first met her.

==========

It had been ten years ago, when he was only fifteen years old and was still living with his parents in Aspertia City. Late one night he had been having trouble sleeping and decided to grab a drink to help. As he made his way to the kitchen, he heard odd shuffling noises coming from within. Curious as to what could be making the noise, he carefully checked around the corner and saw an odd pokémon rummaging through the pantry.

Stepping into the kitchen, he noticed the pokémon suddenly stop and turn around to face him. In the dull moonlight drifting in through the window, he was able to make out some features. The pokémon appeared to be fairly small, no taller that a meter he guessed, and seemed to be covered in rough yellow fur with similar red fur covering its lower body, legs and arms that looked vaguely like an odd martial arts suit. Almost immediately he remembered seeing it on TV and realised that the pokémon was a mienfoo. From the shape of its body, he also guessed it was a female.

She looked at him at him fearfully and quickly scanned the room for an escape route but noted that he was standing in the only doorway into the kitchen; the same door she'd used to gain access, and the only way out she could see. She knew humans didn't like it when people stole from them and could get very violent. She didn't want to steal, it made her feel horrible, but recent human constructions had destroyed almost all the berry bushes in the area. The few remaining berry bushes were closely guarded by other pokémon that fought violently to protect their dwindling food source. Hearing him shift slightly, she quickly huddled into the corner of the room and curled into a ball; eyes shut tight and arms above her head waiting for the thrashing she knew she deserved.

Seeing the mienfoo curled up and shaking in the corner, Jason stopped his advanced. She's terrified, the poor thing, he thought, I don't want to hurt her though. Maybe I can let her know. Backing up slightly, he lightly cleared his throat and said nervously, "U-Uh, you don't need to worry. I-I won't hurt you, I just want to know why your here." Hearing his words, and realising he hadn't hit her yet, she cautiously opened her eyes and looked at him.

She noticed he didn't seem angry; he seemed to be shaking slightly, like he was nervous. Still, she was wary and didn't want to risk angering the human any further so she began to try to use her paws to explain that she was scavenging for food. Once she was done, she quickly hid back behind her paws and watched the human closely, still expecting to be beaten for her thievery.

Seeing her again slink behind her paws, he looked at the ground and said, "I-I'm so sorry, I didn't realise the constructions would cause pokémon to have to do this. Maybe I can help you though." Hearing his apologetic tone she lowered her paws slightly as he moved towards the fridge on the far side of the room. She watched curiously as he pulled out a plate full of oran and pecha berries and set them down in the middle of the room before backing away and watching her.

Her stomach growled and despite her better judgement, she quickly grabbed a few of the berries and retreated back to the corner; hungrily devouring them. After finishing the first few, she grabbed the rest of the berries and quickly ate them as well.

Eating the last of the berries, she looked back at the human and saw him smiling slightly. She blushed lightly and turned away from him looking for an escape route, having now eaten her fill; her first meal in days.

Seeing her again looking for a way out, he slowly moved to the far window and opened it. "Um, if you ever get hungry again, you can come back here. I'll make sure no one hurts you and you can have as many berries as you want, we always have some spare," he said nervously, backing away from the window. He looked away and added, "And I might not mind the company either."

Hearing his invitation, she gasped slightly in surprise. He wants me to come back, she thought,I-I might not have to steal any more. Seeing him step away from the window, she snapped out of her trance and gave him a slow nod before she leapt out the window, lightly hitting the grass on the other side, and disappeared into the darkness.

He watched it as she disappeared from sight before shutting the window and grabbing himself a glass of water. He smiled and sighed contently. He hoped she'd come back, he found something about her intriguing. Finishing the glass of water, he yawned loudly and returned to his bed somehow knowing he'd meet her again.

The next night, he returned to the kitchen and opened its small glass window. Moving to the fridge, he gathered some berries and placed them on a plate. Closing the fridge door, he turned around and saw her crouching on the window sill.

He gave her a warm smile and placed the plate on the floor in the middle of the room. Slowly backing up, he leaned against the far wall, as she quickly grabbed the some berries and retreated to the window. He smiled warmly at her and said, "I hoped you'd come back. You look better than you did last time; less starved I guess."

She looked over at him and smiled. Something about this human made her feel safer. Although still very wary of him, she felt like she was beginning to trust him. Finishing off her last berry, she dropped to the floor and picked up the rest when she heard him say, "By the way, my name's Jason Heirson. Can I ask what your name is, just so I don't say something silly like mienfoo all the time?"

She tilted her head to the side slightly as she thought about the question, I suppose I could tell him, after all what harm could it do? She returned to the window sill and looked back at him. Giving a quick nod she, placed the berries beside her and began to trace the letters of her name in the air with her finger.

He observed her closely as she traced out the letters: A-S-H-I-M-E-N-O. "Ashimeno," he asked to confirm it with her, receiving a smile and a nod in return, "That's a nice name, very pretty."

She blushed slightly, before picking up one of the pecha berries by her side and biting into it.

For the next hour he was content to lean against the wall and observe her, occasionally getting a few extra berries for her to eat, and some for him as well.

When she was full, she lightly patted her stomach and chirped her name in thanks. He thanked her for coming back and told her that he'd always be here with a plateful of food ready for her. She gave a wide smile and a nod before she leapt outside and again disappeared into the night.

They continued meeting and talking with each other, as best they could, growing to be great friends, with Ashimeno (Ashi as she preferred to be called) eventually becoming trusting of her new friend. Three months of 'midnight-meetings' occurred before Jason worked up the courage to ask her something personal.

It was a moonless night, about 11pm when they again met. Ashi leapt through the window and stopped in the kitchen as Jason greeted her. The night continued much like any other night, both of them eating their fill of berries and quietly chatting to each other; the months of meeting with her allowing him to learn and understand some of her basic pokéspeech. However, when the clock chimed midnight, the time when Ashi would normally leave, Jason told her he had something to ask.

Very nervously, he looked at her and said, "I-I've been wondering, I mean we've been really good friends right," Ashi looked confused but nodded as he continued, "Well it's just, I really like you, you're my best friend, my only friend, but I only get to see you so late at night and I..."

Breathing deeply and shaking slightly, he regathered his senses and said, "Ashi, I was just wondering if, maybe, you'd like to live with me." She went wide-eyed and gasped as he quickly pushed on, oblivious to her reaction, "I just mean, that way you wouldn't have to keep sleeping outside and you could be safe and..." he was cut off as she chirped her name and hugged him tightly.

She had wanted to ask if she could be with him, but was so worried about what might happen. To hear him ask her such a thing filled her with joy and she closed her eyes and hugged him. It took him a moment to realise what was happening before he blushed deeply and hugged her back. "So is that a yes," he joked at her. She looked up at him with a big smile and nodded quickly. Laughing slightly, he released her from his hug, her doing the same, and reached into his pocket.

Retrieving the object and pressing on it lightly, it made a slight whirring sound before expanding to its full size, revealing it to be a luxury ball. He looked at her and explained that he'd received this from his parents on his 16thbirthday and that with this she wouldn't need to worry about ever being alone or hurt. Holding it out to her, he told her that it was her decision; that no matter what they'd always be friends.

She observed it curiously before looking him in the eyes and smiling as she tapped her paw against the front of the ball. The ball covered her with light and began to rock gently in his palm. After its third roll, the luxury ball softly clicked indicating she was successfully 'captured'.

Sighing lightly, he pressed on the ball and let her back out; asking if she would like to sleep in his bed tonight. She happily agreed and hugged him tightly as he picked her up and carried her to his bed; wishing her a good night's sleep.

The following morning, he introduced her to his parents. While Ashi was worried about meeting them, his parents took an instant liking to their son's new friend and partner and welcomed her into the family with open arms. Having received such a warm welcoming, she rapidly grew to trust and like them as well.

As they lived together, Jason began to better undertsand her pokéspeech as they occasionally trained with Ashi soon evolved into a Mienshao. They remained at his parent's house for a while, until Jason, now 18 years old, had to leave for his new job, a pokémart sale clerk, in Nimbasa City. Though he was worried about leaving home, he knew that with Ashi by his side he would be alright.

==========

Shifting his weight on the couch, he shook his head to regain his composure as she sat down and looked at him. "Are you alright," she asked, concern evident in her voice, "You look very worried about something. Is there anything I can do to help?" He shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "No, nothing's wrong, I've just been wanting to ask you something for a while. We've been together for a long time, and I was just wondering if..."

Pausing for a moment he reached into his side trouser pocket and looked at her, breathing heavily as he pulled out a small, pure, gold ring as he added, "If you'd do me the honour of marrying me?"

He closed his eyes tightly as he pulled out the ring and showed it to her. For a moment there was nothing but a deafening silence as the world faded away. He knew pokémon-human marriages were uncommon, not illegal; but very uncommon, but he felt strongly enough for her that he was willing to try.

Almost instantly the silence was broken by her response, her voice filled with happiness and excitement, "Yes, yes I-I do! I do!" He looked up at her with glee as she quickly embraced him in a powerful hug, tears of joy filling her eyes and rapidly cascading down her cheeks. He wrapped his arms around her, his heart filled with love and joy, as she buried her face into his shoulder.

Time slipped by until they finally released each other from their loving embrace. She carefully grabbed the ring and slid it down her finger for a perfect fit.

As he looked at her, he spoke softly, voice filled with love, and said, "I'm sorry I didn't say something earlier, I've loved you for so long but I thought you'd think it odd. Seeing your reaction, I wish I'd said something earlier." She looked at the ring for a mere moment before facing him, "I've felt the same way for so long too. I-I just thought you might find _me_weird," she said with a nervously laugh, "But I love you so much. You've always meant everything to me, and I..." She suddenly stopped herself and looked down blushing furiously.

Concerned, Jason soothingly stroked her cheek. His voice full of worry, he asked, "What's the matter, Ashi? Are you alright?" Still blushing hard, she looked away and answered with a voice of worry, "I-It's nothing. I was just... thinking." Seeing her internal debate, he gently grabbed her chin and lifted it so she was facing him, "It's alright, you can tell me anything. I promise I won't be angry, I love you so much," he said before he leaned forward, eyes closed, and kissed her passionately on the lips.

Feeling his lips against her own, she gasped slightly before kissing back passionately, feeling his tongue playfully battering her own. They continued deeply kissing each other, their tongues passionately battling for dominance, until they broke apart for a breath. "I could never hate you, no matter what. So please, tell me what's wrong," he said soothingly as he ran his right hand lovingly along her back.

Her heart beat loudly in her chest as she looked at her paws, took a deep breath and began, "I-I love you so much, more than anything, and I... I want you to be my first and mate with me." She looked up at him and saw the surprise on his face.

Immediately she slunk away and started crying, "I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry, I just... Please don't hate me. I'm sorry!"

"Ah, n-no, I-I'm not angry. Ashi, please look at me! I don't hate you," he cried in desperation.

It was true the question had caught him off-guard, but he was not angry, merely surprised and not sure how to react. "Please Ashi, look at me," he said grabbing a hold of her shoulder, causing her to flinch, and turning her to face him, "I do not hate you, I swear! I-I was just caught off-guard that's all!"

She looked up towards him with pleading eyes as he said, "Please Ashi, I-I would be honoured to mate with you." She looked at him with hope as he gently wiped the tears from her eyes and told her that he would never hate her, no matter what. She leaned into him and hugged him, fresh tears matting her fur and wetting his T-shirt.

After a few minutes, she had stopped crying and they sat back on the couch as she looked at him with love. He stroked her check gently as she grabbed a hold of his hand and stood up. Seeing the love and lust in her eyes, he knew where she was going and gladly followed her out of the living room, up the small wooden staircase and into his bedroom.

As she pushed open the door and led him to the queen-sized bed in the room's centre, his hands began to shake nervously. Letting go of his hands, she gracefully moved to the door and closed it with a quiet 'thud'. She turned around with a subtle sway of her hips and kissed him deeply as she pushed him back into a sitting position on the side of the bed.

Breaking from the kiss, a single strand of spittle barely clinging to the pair's lips, she moved her paw to his crotch and slowly fondled him through the thin cloth of his pants. Seeing his eyes closed and mouth agape as his nervousness changed to bliss, she glided her hand to the top of his fly and began unzipping his pants.

She looked down and his semi-erect penis - mentally noting that he wasn't wearing underwear - before lust overcame her. In one swift movement she moved the fabric aside and was eye level with his member. Breathing in heavily, she steadied herself and gave it an experimental lick causing Jason to moan slightly. Although slightly bitter, she found she liked the taste and quickly went in for another lick.

As she continued her rapid licking, she noticed he had become fully erect, sporting 10 inches. Curiosity and lust driving her, she gave one last lick from base to tip before she took the head inside her mouth. The sudden change caused Jason's eyes to shoot open as he groaned loudly and looked down towards her, seeing her give a small, lusty smile around his member.

As she continued sucking and licking his member, she noticed that his breathing was becoming more laboured and realised he was close. Wanting to please her lover as much as possible, she slowly drew her head back until only the tip remained in her mouth and then pushed her head down in an attempt to deep-throat him. Fighting her gag reflex, she pushed herself further down causing Jason to shout out as he warned how close he was.

Hearing his warning, she redoubled her efforts; pulling it from her throat as she licked over the sensitive head and sucked hard on his member, gathering and swallowing the copious amounts of pre-cum. Fighting back his imminent release, he revelled in the feeling of complete bliss as he clawed at the soft bedsheets. Finally, unable to take any more, he gasped loudly and tensed up; holding his breath.

Moving her mouth back to the tip, she closed her eyes as she felt him tense up; the first rope of his rich semen entering her maw. Moaning around his member she remained motionless, allowing him to finish inside her and relishing the taste of his seed.

As he finished cumming, he let out a silent sigh and steadied himself with his arms; weak from his intense orgasm. He looked at Ashi, panting quietly, as she withdrew from his member and looked up at him, mouth wide, letting him see his mess. She quickly closed her mouth and rolled her tongue over the mess, enjoying the sensation and taste, before she tilted her head backwards and swallowed the whole load; letting him see the sizable lump travel down her throat. He shivered at her show as she turned back towards him, licking her lips seductively, and cleaned his over-sensitive member of seed.

Having finished her 'cleaning', she moved up beside him and nuzzled in close to his chest. He laughed nervously before turning to look her in the eyes, the eyes that instantly relaxed him. "Th-Thanks Ashi, I didn't know I was so... pent up," he laughed softly, causing her to wearily laugh too. "But I think I'd like to repay the favour. Would you like me to... help you with your 'problem'," he asked quietly, emphasising "problem" as his gaze fell to her lower region. She followed his gaze and noticed the fur around her nether region had become wet and matted together.

Blushing heavily, she gave a slight nod as he leaned in for a gentle kiss.

His lips gently press against hers as his tongue gently pushed against her teeth. As she leaned passionately into his kiss, she began to swirl her tongue around his; allowing him to taste what remained of his mess as their tongues continued frantically fighting for dominance.

Lost in their tongue-battle, he began to slowly shift until she was lying contently on the silky covers of the bed. Steadying himself with his left hand as he leaned over her and cautiously moved his right hand up her stomach until it brushed against her nipple.

The sudden pleasure coursed through her frame as she broke from the kiss and moaned lightly. Hearing her moan in delight, he redoubled his efforts; moving his hand to glide over and play with her small, erect nipples. Pinching her right nipple softly between his fingers, he slowly moved his head down to her left breast and gently swirled his tongue around the nub, before gently sucking on it.

Liquid lightning pulsed through her veins as she felt her nether region getting slick and unbearably hot. Breathing heavily, he observed her as she twisted and writhed under his treatment. He knew she was close, but he wanted to try one last thing before it was over.

Continuing his treatment, he rested his right hand on her leg before slowly pulling it up towards her wet vagina. Feeling the warmth radiating from her slick snatch, he started to faintly trace circles around her outer lips. A loud moan escaped her as she shuddered under his delicate touch.

Unable to hold back any longer, Jason pulled back from her breast with a playful kiss and slowly kissed down her stomach until her reached her vagina. He breathed deeply, taking in the sweet scent emanating from her most private of places - her musk almost overpowering his mind - as he looked up to her for confirmation. She looked back down at him, her eyes filled with love, lust and need as she silently pleaded for him to continue.

Hearing the answer in her heavy breaths, he stuck out his tongue and began lapping at her velvety-soft lips causing her to writhe under his actions and let out a long moan as she rested her head back onto the soft bedsheets. He looked up to see her lying flat, eyes tightly closed as she clawed desperately at the sheets trying to fend off her imminent orgasm. Smiling inwardly, he traced the outline of lips one last time - paying extra attention to her sensitive clitoris - before he plunged his tongue deep into her needy sex.

Ashi's eyes shot open and she gasped loudly as she felt the strange appendage squirming in her virgin snatch. Smiling with satisfaction, and filled with a need to taste more of her fruity-sweet juices, he pushed deeper into her and moved his hand to gently play with her clitoris. Pushing herself up onto to her elbows, she looked down at him with lust-filled eyes, panting loudly; her mouth agape and tongue lolling out the left side.

Hearing her heavy pants, and seeing her clawing non-stop at the sheets, he drew his tongue out before quickly forcing his face and tongue back inside her, pushing deeper than before and licking vigorously. Unable to hold out any longer, she threw her head back, eyes wide open and breath caught in her throat, as her body trembled with her orgasm.

Feeling her strong vaginal muscles clench around his tongue, he quickly closed his eyes and opened his mouth wide as he felt the first wave of her juices wash over his tongue and into his mouth; the fruity-sweet taste making his head spin in delight. Both remained frozen in pure ecstasy as minutes seemed to stretched on forever until finally Jason pulled his tongue from her tight snatch with a light 'pop'.

Finally freed from her slick snatch, he moved up beside her, smiling lovingly, as he turned the remainder of her juices over on his tongue. He gazed over at her and noticed how content she looked, very peaceful and relaxed with her eyes half closed and mouth wide. He brushed her cheek lightly as she turned and kissed him again, forcing him into the bed as she climbed atop him. Wow, she must really have some stamina. Doesn't she ever get tired, he thought to himself as he again tongue-wrestled with her. It was only when he felt something brush against the tip of his erect penis that began to realise what she was doing.

Breaking from the kiss, he stopped her and looked deep into her eyes before asking, "Ashi, a-are you really sure you want to do this, there might not be any going back?" She gazed at him in slight embarrassment. His voice was full of concern, she could tell, and she knew he only wanted to make sure she was safe. The thought of being with someone like him - someone so caring - made her draw a deep breath as she nodded slowly. She knew that if they went through with this there would be no turning back. But she trusted him, and she needed to be with him, wholly and completely.

Nodding again, and blushing a deep crimson red, she positioned her vagina just above the tip of his penis and began to lower herself onto his shaft.

She winced slightly as the head forced its way past her outer walls and into her snatch. Jason saw the slight pain she was in, and stroked her side calmly as she lowered herself further down his shaft drawing a moan from his lips. She stopped for a moment and leaned into her lover's warm embrace as the pain faded and she forced herself further down until she reached her hymen; the last barrier of her purity.

He looked up at her with love and concern as he asked if she wanted to stop; that he would still love her even if they stopped here. She blushed again before shaking her head and, before Jason could continue, then quickly rose and impaled herself on his shaft. Her barrier now shattered, she cried out as the sharp pain coursed through her body and fell against her lover's chest. Hugging her tightly and stroking along her back, he remained almost completely still, determined to give her all the time she needed.

After only a few minutes she rose from his chest, the tear stains in her fur still recognisable, and began to shallowly bounce her hips as she looked at him for confirmation to continue. He gave a nervous smile and nodded as she slowly moved her snatch to the tip, causing both to grit their teeth and moan quietly. The previous pain having past, Ashi began to move her hips further down his shaft, stopping occasionally to get used to his girth, until she felt their hips meet.

The feeling of having him completely inside her, and him being inside her, causes both to pant lustfully, tongues hanging out of their mouths. Taking a moment's rest she leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips before she slowly, almost painfully slowly, began to ride his shaft. Unable to think about anything other than the intense pleasure, Jason closed his eyes and moaned as his shaft was pleasured beyond what he thought possible.

Changing to a more upright position, Ashi looked down at her lover's shaft as she sunk herself down on it. Desperate for release, despite her earlier orgasm, she increased her speed as she rode his shaft from tip to base, a soft 'slap' sound being made each time she hilted him.

Moving as fast as she could atop him, aided by his copious amounts of pre-cum, she began to feel a familiar stirring in her loins; a feeling even better than the fullness she was feeling now. It was starting to bubble up from her depths and she knew she was close. Determined not to give in - not wanting this feeling of bliss to end - she slowed slightly as her lover cried out to her, warning her of his imminent release. Hearing how close he was, she raised herself to the tip of his shaft and, in one quick motion, sharply dropped down as he thrust up into her, unable to last any longer.

She screamed out as she felt the tip of his shaft push past her cervix and into her young, virgin womb as he began to cum. Torrents of sticky, white, fertile sperm coated the inside of her womb as she clenched down on his rod and began to orgasm.

Both remained silently motionless, basking in the afterglow of their act, as her vaginal muscles continued to pulse along his shaft; milking him of the last of seed. Finally, fatigue overcame Jason as he lowered himself back onto the bed causing Ashi to lean forward into his chest, her muscles having weakened from her intense orgasm.

Seeing her barely awake, he shifted slightly and placed her beside him, causing his softened penis to fall out of her with a wet sound as her vagina returned from its stretched state; some of their combined efforts slowly trickling out. Eyes heavy, she moved in close and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Thank you for being my mate," she whispered in between pants, "I love you so much."

"I'm just happy we can be together. Thank you for accepting my proposal," he replied wearily as he lovingly stroked her back. She chirped happily before yawning loudly.

Nuzzling into his neck, she curled up with him and quickly fell into a blissful sleep. As he watched her chest gently rise and fall, he yawned softly and began to think about everything that had transpired. Next to him was his pokémon, his mate, the love of his life for so many years, the love that he was so worried wouldn't love him back. And yet she'd felt the same way about him from the start. He wished he'd said something earlier.

Eyes getting heavy he looked one last time at his mate and down to the ring. The ring that spoke of promise, of love, of their undying union. He smiled as he looked at it.

Yeah. Today's the day I asked... and everything went just perfect, he thought as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep, the first of many with his beautiful mate.
