Triton closed the door to his hotel room, carefully placing the food he'd just bought onto a nearby sideboard. Tiptoeing silently, he peeked around the corner, into the bedroom where his umbreon partner was sleeping. He smiled to himself as his partner's yellow rings glowed gently within the darkness. Going back to the food, he took out the different food items in their separate boxes. A large one containing honey chicken, a medium one containing pork in plum sauce, another medium container holding fried rice, with an extra helping of prawns, a single set of chopsticks for himself, and a surprise gift for his umbreon. It had cost him his inheritance, but where she was concerned he really didn't give a damn. Triton gently set the closed and sealed box aside, the black velvet coating hinting at what was inside. Reaching back into the bag, he pulled out the two large plastic plates that had come with the requested meal.

Humming gently to himself, Triton tread gently upon the carpet, taking everything to the table. The velvet box he left behind. Triton glared at the table with it's packages of food, single set of chopsticks, and two plates. He went back to the bag, tipping the thing upside down in order to find the item he was looking for. A single large plastic spoon fell out of the bag's top end. Triton grabbed it before it hit the carpet, and returned to the table. He set the plates next to each other, upon the same side of the table. He maneuvered the two chairs into almost touching distance, before setting the containers of food how he wanted them. Directly above, yet between the plates he put the fried rice. Above the plate on the left he put the pork in plum sauce, and above the plate on the right he put the honey chicken and the disposable chopsticks. Even through the sealed containers he could already smell the sweet aromas of the different foods. Reaching into the pockets of his slacks, Triton drew out the single trusty lighter he always carried with him. Positioning the candles how he wanted them, the biggest in the middle with the two shorter ones at the ends of the table, he lit them and put the lighter back within his pants pocket.

"Triton..?" Triton ducked his head, wincing as all his effort was just spoiled. Turning slowly, he looked at his partner, that all this preparation had been for. His wince quickly turned into a pleased grin at the shocked look on his umbreon's face. Her large rabbit like ears were pointed straight up, her large ruby eyes were wider than usual as they took in the dinner setting. Her plumed, fox like, tail was fluffed to almost double it's size as her embarrassment made itself known. Her small paws barely indented the carpet as she walked up to him, her eyes over flowing with emotion. Triton bent at the knee, sweeping his partner up into a tight love filled hugg, before kissing her nose.

"I'm sorry love, I meant to keep it all a surprise, but you woke up a little earlier than I expected." A single black paw rested upon his cheek as his umbreon leaned forwards to give him a small kiss. A single flick of her semi rough tongue was all she got in before Triton gently moved her head in order to breathe deeply the scent along her neck. The thick musty scent that she used to drive him absolutely wild was still present. The umbreon's tail floofed against his face, causing Triton to startle. He leaned back a bit, bringing the umbreon's face back into view.

"Dinner before sex Triton, you know my rule." Triton gave a grin as the fur on his umbreon's nose fluffed outwards slightly. Using his left foot, Triton tucked it under the chair to the left, and tugged it outwards, carefully setting his precious pokemon down in her seat. He pushed the much higher chair back in until the umbreon bade him stop. Taking his own chair out, he quickly sat down and squeaked himself in. Grabbing the fried rice and the plastic spoon, he popped the lid and set it aside, spooning out a third of the contents for the umbreon, and a third for himself. He set it aside, replacing the lid before grabbing the pork. Popping the lid off of that, he spooned out roughly three quarters of the container, giving himself the last quarter. Setting that aside he grabbed the honey chicken and spooned three quarters of that onto his plate, giving the umbreon the remaining quarter. Triton's grin turned to a frown, as he looked at the overhead lights that spoiled the candle light dinner setting.

"Kelsie, uhmm, would you possibly mind turning out the lights?" Kelsie grinned, her eyes glowing blue as with a thought, she switched off the lights. Darkness swooped in, held just at bay by the fluttering candles that set the romantic mood for the both of them. "Well love, I want to wish you a very happy anniversary. While I do admit that this isn't exactly the best meal, or hotel in the world, what comes after dinner is the big surprise." Triton grinned at Kelsie's accusatory stare.

"What did you do?" Triton shook his head, motioning to her plate.

"You'll find out after dinner. I know you've been hungrier than usual the past month or so, so I made sure to get you a decent amount of food. There's always that bit of left over fried rice if you want it. Oh, and before I forget." Triton leaned to his left slightly, grabbing Kelsie's face and gently placing a chaste kiss upon her dark furred forehead. "Happy Anniversary Kelsie." He leaned backwards, a large smile plastered upon his face. Picking up the chopsticks, he snapped the wood down the center and positioned them how he liked. The first thing to leave his plate was a piece of chicken, it disappeared into his mouth and he spent the next minute slowly chewing to fully savour the flavours of the chicken.

"Triton?" Triton turned, keeping his chewing small and barely noticeable. Kelsie glanced at her plate which was at her shoulder height, before looking back at Triton. "Are you going to help, or not?" Triton gave a pitiable sigh, nudging his own plate away from him in order to use the place it had inhabited for his elbow. He snagged a piece of pork, dripping with the sauce Kelsie had said she preferred over everything else. A glance to Kelsie and he grinned to himself as her small mouth was parted wide in order to receive the meat he was offering. The grin turned to a gentle snort as Kelsie leaned forwards taking the meat from his chopsticks and chewing quickly. Triton snagged another piece of pork, remembering the first time they'd done this. Kelsie took it and quickly munched through that as well, her stomach rumbling loudly as the meat finally hit it. Kelsie gave an embarrassed grin, but Triton merely gathered a small amount of rice for her to munch through. She did, her small pink tongue coming out to lick her nose when she'd finished.

"I absolutely love how you can do that." She said before taking the next bite which was a piece of honey chicken. She spent a little longer on it then she had the others, the chicken being a little stringy. Triton took the time to snag himself some honey chicken, stuffing his cheeks and chewing before turning back to Kelsie, grabbing some more pork and gently touching her nose with it, just to make her lick her nose to get the sauce. She gave him a mild glare, taking the offered meat with a grin. Triton coughed once, to clear his throat and swallow what remained of the chicken he'd been eating.

"Well I love how you can use such a little tongue to lick yourself almost anywhere." He grinned, grabbed a piece of plum pork for himself, before getting some more rice for Kelsie. It continued on like this for three quarters of an hour, interspersed with small comments about what the other loved about the person they were talking to. Soon, one comment lead to another, and they were almost inseparable from one another. By inseparable it's meant that they had their lips pressed together and both were trying to make the other break the kiss first.

Triton broke the kiss first, even though he wished he didn't have to. "I've got a surprise for you Kelsie. One that I hope will answer a question I've been wanting to ask for ages." He squeaked his chair out, grabbing the last piece of honey chicken from his plate before getting up. He walked to the sideboard where the velvet box was hidden by the plastic bag that had held the chinese food. He picked it up gently, turned, and hid it behind his back before Kelsie could see what he had. Carefully placing each foot down, so he wouldn't trip and spoil the moment, Triton made his way to the first and last Pokemon he'd ever had. He carefully pulled out her chair, then held up his hand to stop her from jumping down. Kelsie sat back in her seat, intrigued as to what Triton was up to.

"Kelsie, it's been three years since we met." Kelsie nodded, her mind trying to figure out what was going on. "Two years since you evolved." Again Kelsie nodded, a stray thought starting to form. "And one year since we started having sex." The thought solidified, Kelsie's ruby eyes widening as the thought took form, then widening further at the sight of the velvet box that Triton took out from behind his back. "Kelsie, love. I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and some days, with my entire body." Triton followed a practiced movement that he'd been doing over and over again for the past three days on an empty box. He gently clicked the front seal open, a brief glint being given by what was inside of the box as the candle flame wavered. "Kelsie, there's something I've wanted to ask you for the last one and a half years, but I never really had the courage nor the heart to do it. So now, before our biggest competition ever, I want to throw myself headfirst off the cliff." Triton opened the box fully, the dark gems glittering within the candlelight. Kelsie gave a gasp of shock at the amount of wealth that was sitting before her. Triton nipped his nimble fingers inside, and gently wrested the multi stoned collar from it's setting. He held up the white gold collar studded with large oval black opals and rhomboid cut citralines. Two large tiger eye rubies formed the clasp that kept the collar shut. It was a veritable fortune in stone work and metal smithing. Triton looked up into the ruby red eyes of the one being that had haunted his every thought for well over a year. "Dearest Kelsie," Kelsie looked at him, slightly horrified, slightly ecstatic, and just a little fearful. "Kelsie, ill uuu.." Triton coughed, clearing his throat of the slight burr. "Will you ... possibly do me the supreme honor .... of being my mate?" He blinked up at her, his eyes laying bare the emotions he was going through as well.

"Yes." Triton looked crestfallen, his entire frame drooping.

"oh... okay. I'm sorry to have thought...."

"I said YES you idiot!" Triton blinked, his hands frozen as he brought his near tearful gaze up to Kelsie's red eyes.

"Yes...?" Kelsie dived for him, kicking the chair over and knocking Triton to the floor as she kissed him everywhere his skin was visible.

"Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes YESS!!!" Triton giggled, then laughed, scooping up the person that had meant everything to him the last three years. A second's hesitation, then he gently placed the collar around Kelsie's neck, the twin ruby clasps locking tight. Triton smiled at the absolutely beautiful thing crouching upon his chest, her red eyes set off by the rubies within the collar.

"Gods you're beautiful." Triton moved her head gently, and frenched her, surprised to actually find a bit of rice under her tongue. The kiss broke suddenly as Kelsie leaped from him, padding towards the bedroom and swaying her butt suggestively. Each movement from left to right allowed Triton to get a glimpse of the pink flesh that made his groin groan in protest at the amount of clothing between it and what he was looking at. Triton flipped the box upside down and removed the casing from inside. A single gold ring fell out of the box, a jewel setting upon it almost matching the collar he'd just given to Kelsie. Slipping it upon his left hand's ring finger, he gently moved it around until the small red rubies pointed down his finger. A small split rhomboid cut separated a black opal into two halves, a small ridge of white gold running between the two halves. Two small citralines formed the base and barely jutted over the edge of the yellow gold band. Triton leaned up, got to his knees, and placed the box upon the table, blowing out the candles before heading to the hotel's bedroom.

Triton paused at the doorway to the bedroom, finding that the lamp by the bed was on, the soft light illuminating the bed and the pokemon upon it. Triton stripped off his shirt, shorts, and underwear along with his shoes and socks before taking a step into the room, his gaze locked to the black and gold pokemon that had stolen his heart. While compared to most humans, Triton measured a little on the small side, he was the perfect size for Kelsie. Kelsie raised her head up over her black and gold shoulders, giving him a lustful sigh as her fluffed out tail was raised higher, pulling the already taught lips of her sex even tighter. Triton gave a moan, walking to he bed and gently knee walking his way accross it, his hands traveling over Kelsie's body as he determinedly avoided reaching anywhere near her sex. Triton's nimble fingers massaged at Kelsie's bulging belly, soothing the large meal she'd just eaten. "Is it just me... Or are you getting bigger?"

Kelsie froze, her tail dropping down as the words Triton had just said filtered through her lust clouded mind. She turned around, her ears drooping despite what he'd just asked of her and the happiness she still felt about the occasion. If he left her for what she was about to say, then nothing was worth anything anymore. She padded around until she faced him, nuzzling under his chin and neck in order to stem the effect of what she was about to tell him.

"Well you see, about that. You know how I've had to use the bathroom a lot in the morning, and how I've had to eat more?" Triton nodded, kissing her neckline. "Well. There's a reason for that. While you know I'd never cheat on you, and you also know that I've been with no one other than you, it can't be helped that I am what I am." She looked up into Triton's eyes, seeing that he was confused and starting to protect himself from what would most likely be a painful confession. Kelsie's tear laden ruby red eyes stared up into Triton's guarded brown ones.

"I'm pregnant." It took maybe a minute for the information to sink into Triton's mind. Then a further two minutes for it to be processed fully. When it had finally finished it's work, Triton was all action. He grabbed the umbreon and hugged her tightly to himself.

"Are you serious?" Kelsie nodded under his chin, her heart stuttering at the thought that this might be the last time she'd be with Triton.

"That's absolutely Wonderfull!!" Kelsie blinked, looking up at Triton as his tear filled eyes looked down at her. "When did it happen?"

Kelsie gave it a little thought, not entirely sure on that herself. "A few months back the sickness started, the need for food followed it. That's why I've been stuffing myself at every meal we've had over the last few months. I was never really full. Everything I ate was absorbed by whatever's growing inside of me."

Triton's body almost sang with energy. "That's why you were always nervous when you asked for food. I know you knew about our limited food budget, but that will change when we win the competition tomorrow. The prize was ten grand, along with a magazine photo shoot. You'll also be immortalized as one of the most beautiful and stunning pokemon there are." Triton's enthusiasm abated suddenly, a touch of dread stealing into his thoughts. He moved Kelsie away from him so that he could look down into her eyes, their beautiful ruby glint unmatched by anything or anyone else.

"Will you be okay fighting tomorrow? I don't want you to hurt yourself, especially not now. I was reserved when you first mentioned the competitions, but now I'm desperately afraid that something will happen and you'll get hurt really bad." Kelsie smiled softly at Triton's fears, moving forwards and rubbing herself upon him.

"You don't need to worry. You remember that call you got, and the one I made in reply?" Triton nodded, remembering the strange phone call he'd received. "A friend of mine is going to be watching the competition. She said her trainer will prevent any undue harm to me, and she swore that if I died, she'd never rest until he resurrected me from the dead." Kelsie smiled, her eyes showing her love and happiness at this one moment in time. "So you see, you have nothing to worry about. I'll be fine. Win or lose, I'll stay with you forever." She leaned up and kissed Triton, rubbing her growing belly onto his own stomach.

Triton's fading erection grew enmasse at her ministrations, a soft and barely heard sigh escaping his lips. "I love you Kelsie."

"And I love you. Now, be a dear and shove your cock in as far as it can go." Triton blushed rosily, his cheeks heating up at the lustful demand that Kelsie made.

"You don't normally talk like that Kelsie.."

Kelsie looked up at him, her eyes showing her love and lust in equal quantities. "I'm not holding anything back from you anymore. You accepted me, and I want your cock in me. I want your cum in me. I want you to show me how much you really love me." Triton quickly moved Kelsie upwards upon the bed so that her head was nestled between two pillows, and her body was allowed to spread upon the top half of the bed. Taking up her front right paw, Triton gently kissed the top of it while his free hand stroked gently at her overly moist sex. Kelsie gave a full body shiver, and Triton inserted a finger into her heat, delighting in the instant pull of her internal muscles upon his finger. He pushed in further, trying not to get over excited at feeling her easily take his finger and hearing her soft moans of desire.

Taking a breath and getting her scent, Triton strangled a growl of desire. Taking care, Triton slowly removed his finger, bending the tip upwards so that it would stroke her inner walls on exiting. Kelsie squirmed slightly at the vacuum being created, before giving a yip as his finger popped free, hitting her clit with a small pleasure bolt. Triton smiled before moving his much larger frame atop Kelsie's. Taking his small five inchish dick in hand, he pressed the head against Kelsie's sodden lips and placed his hands atop Kelsie's shoulders. He smiled down at her as she smiled up at him. "Ready?" She nodded, and Triton jerked powerfully upon her shoulders as Kelsie tightened her spine. The effect of the maneuver forced Triton's cock straight up into Kelsie's hot throbbing tunnel. Triton gave a further jerk forwards as he ran into an obstruction just at the end of her tunnel.

"What's wrong?" gasped Kelsie as she finally noticed Triton had stopped moving into her.

"There's . There's something in you, right at the end of your vagina." Kelsie smiled in response to his voice.

"Don't worry, you wont hurt the baby. You can be as rough as always." The measure of reserve Triton was about to instill in himself vanished at her surety. Taking a breath to prepare himself Triton slowly pulled himself out of Kelsie, before pushing slowly back in once the head of his cock was almost fully out. Moving his hands to her sides, Triton sped up his thrusts, rapidly turning into a humping machine as he forced his cock in and out of his lover, making her moan and cry out in ecstasy as he bottomed out inside of her, hitting her slightly distended cervix.

"Ah ... Ahh .. Harder!" Triton complied, moving his slightly thick cock in and out of her tight little opening, forcing her to take all of him as her body started to shake and shudder with her own suppressed orgasm. With a single final thrust, Triton shoved as much of his cock as he could into Kelsie, his cum flowing out of his balls and oozing out of her tightness.

"Why ... Why'd .... you stop?" Triton looked up at her in surprise.

"The baby .."

"I told you the baby would be fine, you don't have to be so reserved. Take me like the lover you are Triton, fill me like no other can."

Triton grinned within the soft glow of the lamplight. "As my lustful mistress commands..."

The following morning found the two in a tremendously sticky bed, the smell alone enough to give a guy a hardon. A very sleepy and much satisfied Kelsie batted a dark paw against Triton's face. Triton's eyes opened slowly. Seeing Kelsie's black paw, he smiled as last night's events unfolded again. They had had sex just about everywhere last night. The bed had only been the start of it. They'd done it there, the dining room, the bathroom, and once more upon the bed. Each time he came, it felt like that was it, and he'd be asleep in moments. Kelsie had surprised him by showing enough charm to get him to cum in her several times. The last one had been the clincher though. She'd asked him to do her ass, something that at first scared him, then excited him. They'd actually fallen asleep somewhere between him pumping the last of his cum into her ass, and saying I love you.

Triton carefully pulled backwards, feeling Kelsie's tight anal muscles clench around his cock, almost as though she refused to give him up, even from her ass. When the head of his cock finally popped free, Triton took a curious glance, wondering if he'd hurt her. As he plucked her down turned tail out of the way, his erection came back in full blooded glory as he saw Kelsie's slightly open and gaping asshole, liquid still oozing out of it.

By chance, Triton happened to glance at the clock as he went to get a bottle of coke from the mini fridge. He'd actually taken the top off and had a few fizzy mouthfuls before realization hit him. He coughed, spluttered, and choked upon the coke as he tried to make his way to the bed and wake Kelsie. As he reentered the bedroom, Kelsie was already up and moving towards him, her gait a little slow and her stance a touch wider than what it had been last night.

"Meet me in the shower, the competition starts in twenty minutes." Somehow Triton managed to get that out through his coughing and spluttering. Kelsie moved towards the bathroom as he headed there himself.

She opened the door for him as he grabbed a clean towel for the both of them. She turned on the water with her telekinetic abilities while he searched around for the soap.

"How could we oversleep so badly?" Triton deigned not to answer until the soap was in his hands. He had at least had enough foresight to buy the brand she liked, and wouldn't pull the fur from her lithe body.

"I guess we kinda over did it a little in the sex department. I was a little afraid that something might happen today, and I would never be able to be with you ever again. To be honest, I'm a little scared about the competition today. I'm truly worried that one of our soon to be enemies will try to take you out during, before, or after the competition. I'm scared now that I wont be there to protect you. I'm scared that-" Triton's words cut off abruptly as Kelsie levitated herself mentally and kissed him passionately, allowing all her feeling to sear through his mind with that single touching of lips.

"Triton, nothing will happen. I have faith in my stepsister. She swore that her trainer would stop anything that seemed like an attack upon my life, or an attack upon the life of our future children. She wouldn't say who he is, so chances are he's a judge in the competition. She probably didn't want to tell us on the chance that we might use him to our advantage, instead of trying to win the competition on our own." She looked deep into Triton's eyes, showing him her need for him to understand her feelings.

"I've asked her politely to stay out of it unless it is absolutely necessary. So hopefully she and her trainer wont do anything rash and we will be able to win on our own. After all, we have been working on that technique for months now. I want to see the full effect when we use it today. If petal wind works, we will win automatically, there's no one that can stand against it." Triton's face still showed concern, but behind it was admiration.

He reached up and soaped up the umbreon, being careful to gently soap up her nethers as well. Kelsie cooed softly in her subtle voice as Triton teased her gently, his fingers poking and edging at her pussy and anus. He stood abruptly, and redirected the shower spray at her while he used her soap upon himself, going for a quick wash instead of the usual half hour long full body scrub he usually gave themselves.

"We need to dry and be out of here in minutes. I'll tell the hotel staff we'll be leaving tomorrow. We're in the top sixteen. So everything will be decided today, one way or another. We've gone through hundreds of trainers in preparation for this one day, so I hope above everything that no one will cheat, or be a bad sport." Triton turned off the spray of the shower and reached over for the towel. Taking up the large fluffy expanse of cotton, he dried Kelsie before himself, being sure to ‘dry' her nether regions thoroughly, though all that really did was make those certain regions wetter instead of drier.

Kelsie finally had to take matters into her own paws by grabbing the towel psychically and drying Triton in a whirlwind of fluff and energy. Triton held up his hands, which was their signal for defeat, and she allowed him to dry himself. She opened the glass door and headed straight for their bedroom, which smelled about as good as it could, to her. To her nose, the smell said that they had lain claim to this area as their breeding ground, their den, and their home. She sighed mentally, knowing of course that this was only their temporary home, and the only home that could actually be considered theirs was several hundred miles away. Their tree house was built just under the nest of a very frisky pair of Latias and Latios.

Kelsie smiled in the knowledge that Triton had stopped making new tree or cave houses when they first mated in those branches. To her, and maybe to him as well, it signaled that that was their true home, the one they could always return to when they needed time away from everyone else in the world.

"Kelsie! We need to go, now!" Kelsie looked over to her trainer, her boyfriend, and her mate, knowing that whatever happened today, their future was set in stone and love. She took one last look around the place, and levitated Triton's pokedex and ribbon case towards him. He grabbed the two items, the ribbon case going into his back left pocket, and his pokedex wrapping around his left wrist. The black and red metal of the pokedex read his biowaves. The dark light on the pokedex's face turned a light blue as it recognised him as the user.

"C'mon Kelsie!" Kelsie gave an irked smile, and ran after Triton as he ran for the door. Triton shut the door behind them, unable to comprehend what fate had in store for them on this one day of trajedy.

Triton and Kelsie just barely made it to the stadium on time. Several of the people there waved at Triton, knowing him from his previous appearances in former contests. Triton waved back, making sure to keep an eye on Kelsie to make sure she wasn't hurt in the rush of people.

"Mr Triton! A word about your success to date?"

"Mr Triton! Over here! We want you to tell us about how you got to this stage in your life!"

"Mr Triton! You're late and need to report to the stage immediately for your match." Triton turned to the young woman who said that, nodding and bypassing her to take the hallway behind her. The brunette woman tucked something into his pocket as he raced past her. Kelsie barely caught the movement before Triton was past her and the woman was turning and walking quickly away from them. Very Quickly.

A sudden sense of foreboding overwhelmed Kelsie about what had just happenned.

"C'mon Kelsie!" She ran after Triton, eager to warn him about what had happenned.

"You said they'd be on time." Kelsie saw them as Triton was about to run into them. A tall young man wearing very dark clothing, and a red Vaporeon.

"I know. Kelsie was the timekeeper of the family. She was the one that made it a habit to be on time, every ti-" Triton finished reaching them and crashed into the tall person, the Vaporeon having enough foresight to move away from the almost inevitable collision.

"Ahh!" Triton yelled as he tumbled into the stranger, tripping on his sneakers to try and stop his forward momentum. Somehow though, the other human managed to stay completely upright while catching Triton. He barely even moved.

"A... Amethyst?!?" Kelsie stared at the red Vaporeon that turned to face her.

"Kelsie?" Kelsie stood there, stupified. She couldn't believe how utterly gorgeous Amethyst was. Somehow she had gone a deep red colour instead of the normal sapphire blue colour of normal Vaporeons. Kelsie noticed the look in her step sister's eyes. "You look good Kelse. I see you got a lot of love from your trainer." For some reason, Kelsie wanted to appologise for that, but had no idea why she should.

"Well, you're looking more .... stunning than you normally do. How did you turn red..?" Kelsie caught the brief flash of rage that crossed Amethyst's eyes, and the quick look up to the human with her. The look that spoke volumes about how she felt for the person that was probably her trainer. Kelsie grinned inside of herself, pleased to know that Amethyst was happy with her trainer.

"I'm so, so, sooo very sorry for that!" Triton was patting down Amethyst's trainer, dusting him off and worrying his little mind out of it's sanity. Amethyst's trainer finally had to grab his hands in order to physically stop him and make him listen to the words he'd been saying for the last minute.

"It's okay. You're in a hurry, there is no problem. I am fine." Triton blinked up into the other person's eyes, completely enraptured by the soft dusk colour they literally emenated from their depths.

"Wow...." Triton stared, ignoring curtesy, and just looked into those absoloutely pretty eyes. He then watched in amazement as his eyes rapidly spiraled from that beautiful dusky colour to a bright and vibrant red.

"Weren't you in the middle of something?"

Triton paused, confused, before realisation dawned on him. "The contest!" He raced off down the hallway, horrified that he'd stalled for so long. Kelsie nodded to her step sister before racing off after her trainer and lover.

"Those are the ones you want protected?"

Amethyst nodded her head slowly, watching after her sister, noticing the distended abdomen and the gait to her walk. "She's family. I want her to have a happy life. She loves her trainer, and I want to see her live her life in happiness." Something sparkled in Amethyst's right eye before she blinked and rubbed a paw to her face.

Night noticed the movement. Nothing escaped his attention if it related to his pokemon. "You really love her don't you?" Amethyst nodded before catching herself and glaring at Night.

"Of course not. I couldn't care less if she died on the spot. It's just she's pregnant, and I want the kid to survive." Night raised a single dark eyebrow at the information.

"Really now..?" Amethyst nodded looking towards where they had run off to.

"I don't want anything to happen to them though. Kelse was upset about something, but I'm not one hundred percent sure it wasn't anxiety due to the competition. She's got the brains and the talent to be the best, but with her pregnancy she'll be an easier target, and her mind will most likely be focused upon keeping the baby alive instead of winning. All I want you to do is ensure that no one with a killing intent lays a paw on them." Amethyst looked up into Night's embarrassed eyes. "Can you do this one thing for me?"

Night sighed despondently. "You know I'll do anything for you lot. If it wasn't for the fact that Sapphire wanted some time alone to think, he'd be here as well. What's wrong with him though? I thought he'd love to see a competition up close like this. I mean, he's got the flare to be one of the best, doesn't he?"

Amethyst nodded. "Yes, but other pokemon frown, and even physically abuse, other pokemon that sleep with their trainers. Since Sapphire's gay, that's just an extra reason to beat up on him."

Night's aura suddenly changed swiftly from bright, to dark and menacing. Amethyst froze where she was, knowing better than to do anything to upset him further. Night raised black eyes to look where Kelsie and Triton had gone.

"They have a very dangerous enemy."

Amethyst blinked, confused. "What are you talking about?"

Night turned his jet black eyes to Amethyst's own black eyes. "Someone planted a bomb on him." Amethyst's eyes widened in horror, the deep purple ridge lining her spine peaking with her terror.

Triton raced through the hallway, his expression getting more and more desperate as he kept making turns. Finally, just before him at the end of the hall, he spied the officers that checked everyone before they went on stage. They nodded to him as he waved, racing towards them and only slowing down when he was a couple of feet from them. One of the men stood up, hand raised in a stopping motion as the other brought up a metal scanner.

"Sorry Tirton, you know the rules." Triton nodded, thoguh he shuffled from foot to foot.

"Yeah, I know, but I'm in a hurry. Can't we skip it just once?" The man who was standing paused, knowing that out of all the times Triton had been here, the only metal things on him had been a single pokeball, spare change, and other small metalic items. The other man who was still seated shook his head.

"I'm sorry sir, but if we let you pass, and you had something like a bomb on you, we would lose our jobs, no matter how trustworthy you are." Triton nodded and raised his arms, making like he was an aeroplane. The man with the scanner gave hima sympathetic look, before waving accross his arms, then down each side, down his legs, then between. It beeped five times. He backed up a few paces then spoke.

"Triton, you need to remove anything and everything of a metallic nature in your pockets." Triton grimaced and removed Kelsie's pokeball from his waistband, then went searching through his pockets.

:::Area still under construction:::

Triton stared at the small strip of metal currently resting within the palm of his hand. He looked back at the young man in front of him. "You know what this is, don't you?" The man nodded. "You also know that I can't possibly have this installed. I spent all my money getting to this event. Everything I had was riding on the outcome of this competition. Kelsie and I still have each other, and that's all that matters to us. Having this installed would cost more than I have, and I don't even have a use for it." He took a breath and calmed himself down, trying not to get agitated further.

"You wont need to pay for it. I have someone waiting to install it already, he's waiting at the nearest hospital to here, which is directly accross from the Pokemon centre. I will only ask that you get it installed, it wont matter either way what you do, the money has been paid, and there is no chance for a refund." He turned on his heel, leaving Triton standing there, just at the door to his hotel room.

"I suggest you get it installed, Night went through a lot of trouble to get you that." Triton lowered his gaze to see the red vaporeon standing infront of him.

"Night..?" The vaporeon nodded.

"He knows about your relationship with Kelsie, and would like to give you ..... a type of wedding present. Get the chip installed, you wont regret it." The red Vaporeon turned tail and jogged quickly after her trainer, leaving Triton to wonder how the hell he'd understood any pokemon other than Kelsie. Gently closing his hand into a fist around the small piece of expensive metal, Triton made a decision.

Minutes later, and Triton was just inside the hospital, looking confused and lost.

"Master Triton?" He turned at the unexpected call of his name, and found himself face to face with an older man with a grey goatee and black horn rimmed glasses.

"Uhmm.."

The man flipped a page on the pad he was holding. "You are Triton Selbanus are you not?" He nodded, confusion still evident upon his face. The man offered a hand, which Triton quickly reached for and shook. "I'm Dr Sals, pronounced Souls. You have a rather interesting friend." The doctor turned towards the elevators that were to the far right of the foyer of the hospital, and walked towards them.

"Friend..?" Triton walked up to the doctor who was now waiting for the elevator to reach them. Dr Sals turned to face him.

"Yes, your friend, the one that managed to get me called in to work today on my day off. Your friend knows some very important people to have this done in such a hurry. I do thank you for being on time though, I'm glad I didn't have to wait several days for you to appear." The elevator doors dinged before opening. Triton quickly stepped onto the elevator with Dr Sals.

"Wait, I was just told to be here if I wanted this cred chip installed. I don't know anything other than that."

Dr Sals turned to Triton a frown on his face. "You think you're only here to have a cred chip installed?" Triton nodded, a slightly pained expression upon his face.

"Why, what else am I supposedly here for?"

Dr Sals flicked through the pages on his pad then handed the pad to Triton. "Read the list starting from line twelve."

Triton took a gentle hold upon the pad and counted the lines carefully, shocked at the information that was printed upon this small bit of paper. "Universal Cred chip, ID number 1993720448TR7. Neuro transmitter/receiver set. Model number TIYH288274, human. Personal locator/receiver module, model number GVI7299946510954. Elite Map HUD, pre paid for 30 years, model number T101-0333286-YU/78...." Triton stared at the list of numbers underneath the small amount of products. He turned to Dr Sals, his face completely drained of all blood, the elevator starting to swim slightly. "This cost him how much?!?!?" Dr Sals quickly grabbed the pad from him, coughing slightly, his cheeks flushing.

"Well, yes, you weren't supposed to see that. One of the requirements and everything. But, since you've seen it, I guess you have a right to know." Dr Sals looked Triton straight in the eye. "Your friend is an extremely wealthy, and highly infuential person. These products he wants you to have installed, are already being installed within your pokemon. I honestly have no idea why he wants your pokemon to have a cred chip as well as all the other items, but he's paying for everything." Triton's legs failed him just as the elevator came to rest at the floor they were getting off at. Dr Sals grabbed his arm and carefully walked him out of the elevator, nodding to other staff on the same floor.

"He just found out exactly how rich his friend is, the shock's a little too much for him." The doctors smirked and moved on.
