Its been two years since Sio and Nikki started their adventure, on a stormy night Sio remembers the good parts and the bad. Nikki is haunted by the past, and Sio steps in to help her. The Zoroark shows his trainer that home isnt something that can be lost, because home is exactly where the two of them want it to be.


The deep rumble of thunder shook Sio from the clutches of sleep. His dream fading away into scattered nothingness, he took a deep breath, the scent of Nikki filling his head. The subtle differences between how she normally smelled and her lingering arousal danced in his mind. He could still smell his own claim on her from last night, the scent of a satisfied mate. He opened his eyes, intending to pull her close, but she wasn't there. The Zoroark sat up in the bed, eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness, and he found her standing at the window. A flash of lightning illuminated her naked body against the storm clouds. Rain streamed against the hotel window as Sio got out of bed and padded over to his trainer. He wrapped his arms around her midsection and a low rumble left his throat as he hugged her from behind. He hadn't noticed the date approaching, but all the signs were there. Today marked two years on the road. Today marked two years since their home became just another house.

Two and a half years earlier

Nikki panted softly as she rolled onto her back, Sio watched as she brought her hand down to toy with the mess he had deposited inside of her. He laid beside her, pressing his head to her shoulder and nuzzling softly, the illusions floating around the room evaporated, leaving them in a plainly decorated bedroom.

“Zorua!" He called, and she wrapped him in her arms, holding him close to her.

“That's the first time I've seen you get so dominant mister~ I have to admit, the Arcanine disguise was a nice touch. Though you gotta practice your transformations more, you were the wrong color the whole time." She stroked him softly and let out a laugh, the sound was as pure and potent as sunshine to him. The sound of a door slamming downstairs had both their eyes snapping open. “Shit, they're early. Fuck! Arceus we need to move out, I'm 20 for fucks sakes." she grumbled, more aimed at herself than anything else. She opened the door to make a dash for the shower, but the sound of footsteps on the stairs had her easing the door closed instead. Sio watched as she hurriedly wiped away the evidence of their romp, spritzed perfume into the air, and took a seat at her computer. The Zorua, let out a wave of energy, the room shifting and blurring, suddenly appearing significantly cleaner, earning a thankful look from his trainer. Moments passed and there was a knock on the door.

“Nikki? How's the job hunting coming dear?"

“Fine mom! In the middle of an app right now. I took a look at that apartment you sent me as well, though I'm still considering moving to Kalos. There's a lot of trainer opportunities there!" Sio winced as he heard Nikki bring it up, this would only lead to another argument. It wasn't hard to tell that Nikki's parents didn't much care for her becoming a trainer, they had put her through plenty of extra schooling in the hopes that the wandering life wouldn't call to her. Though the old posters of league champions tucked away in the closet answered their questions. Sio tucked his paws over his ears as the two ramped into a debate about how to spend Nikki's life. For the hundredth time, Sio was glad he never met his own parents. He had been a daycare Zorua, adopted by Nikki's family when she turned 18, turns out her parents knew nothing about pokemon, and only adopted him because he was the smallest pokemon they saw.

Hours later he could tell that Nikki still fumed on the inside. She had been pacing all night, and even when she got out of the shower he saw how tense she was. He pulled one of her favorite tricks, as she laid in bed the walls melted away, surrounding her in a summer forest. The moon glowed high in the air as fireflies danced around the edges of the room. It had been their first camping trip together, shortly after she had turned 20, it was also the first time the two had mated. He climbed up towards her, and she scooped him into her arms, the tension seeming to melt away from her body. They laid together for who knew how long, before a gentle hand lifted the blankets, and her scent hit him in full force. He flashed her a grin and delved between her legs, putting his tongue to work. Something about that night was different though, as she drew towards her peak, there was an overwhelming feeling inside of him. His eyes locked to hers and she clapped a hand over her mouth, letting herself tip over the edge on his tongue. The last thing he saw was blinding light filling the room, then suddenly she wasnt so much larger than him anymore.

The following weeks were some of the best weeks Sio had with Nikki. More options had opened up, and their training had truly begun. He still failed to grasp illusions for himself and often disguised himself as a rock or tree. He couldn't ever pull off the human form and blend in. The closest he got was a twin of Nikki, though there was always some sort of tell, patches of fur, claws, or his mane showed through. His area manipulation only grew, allowing him to tune the entire house to look as he wanted it to. The only problem was the disdain her parents showed for him now. He wasn't a cute family pet anymore; he was obviously the battler Nikki wanted him to be, and the more Nikki took him to train, the more they looked at him like he was an intruder. However, at the end of each night it all faded away, Nikki held him in her arms, and increasingly frequently he pinned hers to the bed. He was more than willing to accept the nasty looks if it meant more time with her.

The more time passed the bolder he got with her, leaving little bites on her shoulders, joining her in the shower and holding a paw over her mouth to stifle her moans. Once he went sofar as to make the two seem like they were sitting nicely on the couch, when in reality she had been riding him harder than a stampeding rapidash. That was the first time she held a conversation with a family member while his knot was buried inside of her, though far from the last. The problem soon became that Nikki loved the thrill. If he wasn't taking her dominantly, then she would fill that spot, pulling him behind buildings, or off the path into the woods. There was hardly a day where his tongue, claws, or cock didn't grace her insides. The most prominent day he could remember was after they had challenged a wandering trainer. They had been tough, with three pokemon who were well trained, disciplined, and knew what they were doing. It was only barely that he managed to defeat them, and entirely due to Nikki's quick thinking, and instructions on how to use his illusions. The trainer paid her out a hefty sum of money, along with tips and advice. When they realized she wanted to follow that same path, they were all too prepared. They gifted her a well worn bag, and an empty badge case from the Kalos region. The fire of passion was lit in more ways than one, and she all but dragged him off the path and around a corner. She yanked her shorts down and leaned back on a rather large tree stump, one leg up on the stump, giving him a perfect view of her. She winked at him,

“Sio, use lick~" she said, with every ounce of lust she could muster. It was more than enough, and he quickly pressed his muzzle to her lower lips. His long and thin vulpine tongue split her lips and sunk into her, earning a shuddery moan as he explored her familiar insides. He lapped at her walls in circular motions, his tongue could reach deeper than any humans, and she seemed to love that fact. He curled his tongue against one of the spots he knew she loved. He attacked it with a flurry of licks, and paused only to pull back and circle her sensitive clit. She shivered and moaned, overtaken by pleasure on the stump in a matter of a few minutes. Her hands found his head and pulled him deeper, encouraging him to return to bury his tongue deep inside her walls. He could feel her start to grow close, her walls tightened around him periodically, and she shifted and shuddered when he dragged his tongue across her nub. Just as he prepared to 'go in for the kill' she pushed his head away. He pulled back, licking his lips clean of her slightly tangy flavor, and she patted her thigh. It was an invitation for more than just his tongue, and he happily obliged. He pressed the tip of his vulpine length against her and sank deep into her on a single thrust. Her legs wrapped around his back and pulled him closer as she let out another soft moan. She didn't waste any time as she pulled him all the way in to the knot.

He started the movement himself, pulling back against the force of her legs, trying to keep him deep inside her. He plunged into her again, building up speed, earning louder and louder gasps as he angled his hips to grind against her walls in a better way. A warm spurt of precum glazed her insides, making it easier to spread her tight entrance around his cock. The Zoroark knew from the videos that Nikki watched that human cocks weren't quite as long as vulpine ones, though he didn't know how he measured up to others of his kind, he was more than enough for her in his mind, and she never complained. He fucked her hard and fast against the stump, not slowing down a bit when she arched her back and clapped a hand to her lips to muffle herself. Her insides clamped down around him, encouraging him to spill his load inside of her. Though, he wasn't nearly as close as she was. He continued his pace and he grabbed her hips and held them tight as he went faster and faster. He kept going until he fucked her at a pace only a pokemon could.

“S-Sio. Knot me!" She cried, and he faithfully obeyed her command. He ground his thick bulb against her entrance until it slipped in. She gave a soft muffled cry as he stretched her to her fullest, and then his thick knot popped in completely. He kept humping, rutting her with small fast thrusts until his knot swelled until they were locked. He finally hit his peak, and gave in to the explosive waves of pure pleasure. He let out a muted growl as he spilled inside her. Hot spunk exploded into her waiting tunnel, painting her in white and claiming her as his once again. She reveled in the feeling, her hand resting on her stomach as his warmth kept coming in spurts. When his spurts died down to a weak dribble she let go of him, letting her legs rest. She was splayed out on the stump, panting hard and flushed red, she looked up at him with an expression he wouldn't ever forget. Lust and attraction were one thing, but she stared at him as one mate to another, their bond already felt unbreakable, but this cemented it for him. She was his, and he was hers, and there was no mistaking it. He felt happier than even the moment he had been adopted, but as he learned; nothing good ever lasted forever.

It was a rare night to themselves the next week, and Sio had been working his trainer up for the better part of an hour. His claws were slick with her fluids, and he had brought her to the edge of orgasm with his tongue no less than three times. He was busy thrusting into her mouth, her back against the couch as she sat on the floor, one hand between her legs, and the other cupped his ass, pulling him in with each thrust. He was nearing his climax, and her hand left his rear to squeeze his knot, stars filled his vision as his first spurt of warmth exploded into her mouth. The front door opened the very next moment.He scrambled to fight through the haze of his orgasm to draft an illusion around them, but the damage was done, the first thing Nikki's parents saw was her swallowing around his cock, only to make matters worse when she pulled away out of surprise, but didn't let go of his knot. He plastered her face and chest in his spunk, all with two wide eyed individuals watching as jets of Zoroark spunk decorated Nikki's naked body.

“What in Giratina's grey fucking expanse are you doing?!" Her father roared, and she didn't even respond. She grabbed Sio by the wrist and pulled him towards the stairs, walking away quickly and quietly. She slammed the door behind them and immediately wiped herself clean. He could smell the panic and fear in her scent, and she hurriedly started to drag clothes on.

“Maxwell, you need to calm down!"

“I will calm down when that fucking pokemon is out of my goddamn house." Sio flinched at the words, Nikki flinched harder. Tears brimmed in her eyes, but her face was resolute. She knew what was coming. She moved to her dresser, grabbing her most prized possession, the single dusk-ball kept on a little stand. With a brush of her thumb the ball shrunk down and she quickly put it in her pocket. The next moment her door slammed open. “Where is its ball?! Put it away now and give me the ball, I'm taking it to the center" Her father roared, and Sio stepped back, conflicted between fear and anger.

“The fuck you are! I'm not just another number for you to control, you have always done nothing but treat people like the same tax forms you push at work, you will not touch Sio!" Nikki roared back. The Zoroark stood in the middle of the two, with emotions tearing through him. The look of pure vitriol in the male human's face was enough to make him shiver. The entire house fuzzed, static and foggy darkness crept in from the edges of the walls.

“You lived here this long because I wanted to see you succeed, now here you are letting that fucking thing do that to you!" He hollered, and raised an accusatory finger at Sio. The fog billowed through the house, blacking out the bottom floor in a swirling haze, static crackled through it as the cloud reached the stairs, Nikki's mother noticed first, tapping her husband. He spun around to look at the hazy cloud, and looked back at Nikki. “Call your mutt off before he makes more of a mess of my house"

“You're scaring him, he's not doing this on purpose"

“Good! This piece of shit should be scared, lived under my roof, lived with my family and has the nerve to fuck my daughter!"

“Pull your head out of your ass, you controlling piece of shit. I'm not your anything. All you care about is that I follow exactly the plan you have for me, and I'm done with it. I already applied for a Unova League license"

“You what?" Both her parents said at the same time. Now the mother was just as angry, and Sio recoiled from them another step.

“Think about your future"

“You're wasting your schooling"

“After all we've done…"

“Why don't you listen…"

“We know what's best…"

“Stop! Both of you. You two hardly seem to know a thing about me, sure you knew all my favorite things right up until I was twelve. Now you're just embarrassing yourselves." Nikki said, tears rolling down her face, though not of sadness, they were tears of rage. The static and fog reached the room, flowing towards Sio's feet. He so badly wished he learned how to vanish as other Zoroarks could.

“I told you to make it stop, give me the fucking pokeball now. Don't make me take it from you." Maxwell ordered. Sio saw a shift, her shoulders changed, her arms relaxed, her eyes narrowed.

“You won't touch him"

“The hell I won't" He roared, and the moment he took a step Sio let loose every bit of confused panic inside of him. The hallway stretched a mile long, a thousand doors slammed shut along its length. Iron bars crashed down from the ceiling interlocking like a bank vault. Every conceivable illusion he could think of warped reality to tatters in front of the angry human. It only drew pause for a moment, but that was enough for Sio to step between the two, holding his arms out at his sides, he put himself squarely between Nikki and her father. When he stepped through the blurred space, he was face to face with the glowing eyes of the fox. “Get out of the way or so help me Arceus I will move you" the man said, and Sio finally felt a hint of calm spread through him. Maxwell's head was so vibrantly red from screaming that it made him look like an overripe berry. In any other situation Sio might have laughed. Sio shook his head, and held his ground, refusing to move. He wasn't quite prepared for what happened as a result.

Maxwell punched him.

“Dad!" Nikki cried,

“Maxwell Rhedson!" Her mother echoed.

All the rage a human man could muster, and it culminated in a sucker punch to the jaw.

Pain bloomed out from the point of the impact, but both Sio and Nikki were on the same wavelength; they were not arguing anymore, now it was a fight. The coolness of battle steeled his head. The punch hurt, it hurt so much more than any other fight he had ever been in. It wasn't the impact that stung, it was the weight of what it meant. Even under the crushing force of what had just happened, he didn't budge, hardly flinched, he only worked his jaw slightly. He saw recognition burn through the human's eyes, then fear. He had no plan for when his outburst failed. The man so thoroughly lost control in an instant that he looked smaller than he had before. The waves of the ocean of anger only stayed parted for so long though. Rage came crashing back to fill the void.

“Get out! Both of you, get out of my house!" He said, shaking at this point. Sio knew it was over, the man was spent, that kind of rage took a toll. The toll it took on Nikki and himself was one yet to be paid, though he could feel it coming. Nikki didn't need to be told twice; she grabbed her coat and her bag, then moved to push out of the room with Sio close behind. Nikki's mother started pleading with both Maxwell and her to stop this, but when they reached the door, Nikki stopped. She pulled her phone free from her pocket and turned to face Sio, she placed the thin electronic device in his paws, with her hands on top of his, she pressed down gently, and her message was clear. There was a cracking noise as he wrenched the device in half. Letting the two sides fall to the floor.She kept hold of his paws, and stepped out into the night, pulling him with her, pulling him away from the only home they had known.

They were lucky that trainer stores were on 24 hour shifts. Nearly two thirds of their money went to supplies that first night. A tent, food, potions and extra pokeballs. The concerned eye of the shopkeeper trained on the obviously distressed pair. When Nikki parked the cart in front of the checkout, she was greeted with the glowing words on the console “Swipe Trainer Card". She almost broke then and there, all the frustration of the night, all the raw emotion about to be uncorked by a simple badge reader. Wordlessly a hand swiped across the machine. A soft beep signifying the successful scan.

“Grand total zero. Thanks for shopping with us today" The man said, the wrinkles on his face spoke of an adventure that built the kind of understanding only age could bring. His face held an understanding that spoke volumes to Nikki, and through her spoke the same to Sio. At that, Nikki finally broke, she hugged the man with tears streaming down her face, and shortly after Sio and her vanished into the night. Nikki leaned against her fox the entire time they hiked out of the city. The next four days were an uphill climb of epic proportions. Learning to live out of a tent was hard on both of them. They couldn't battle anyone in an official capacity, without a trainer registration she was just a woman with a pokemon. It took nearly the rest of their money to get to Castelia city and a ticket out to Kalos. But nine and a half days after leaving home Nikki and Sio practically collapsed into a hotel room. The last of their money was already earmarked for dinner and supplies. The two of them hovered at the boundary of sleep when there was a knock on the door. Nikki opened it to reveal a dragonite in a bellhop outfit, they gave a smile and handed over an envelope, before wandering off down the hall. When Nikki opened it, there was a short letter.

“You might not know me, but I'm the shopkeeper who sent you on your way. When the two of you burst into my shop, my Alakazam could read you like a book, though it's certainly not a plot I'd want to see published. What you went through is hard, not everyone understands the world the way you two do now. My grandson, Ben, lives in Lumiose city, I already told him you're coming. He's a lot like you~ Just don't tell him his gramps knows what he and his Lycanroc get up to. Go see him, and get yourself started here. You and Sionnach have a bond so bright that nothing can snuff it out. I couldn't help but pry into your life, so I'm doing my diligence to pay it back. Congratulations on your Kalos League registration Nikki. I'm sure you'll do great things.

-Nicholas"

The envelope had in it a plastic ID card, a slightly older picture of Nikki in a volunteer outfit was on the card, alongside her official registration papers. Relief swept Nikki like a tidal wave, and it carried on through to Sio. That night they spent wrapped in each other's arms, and for the first time since they left, they both slept peacefully. It was only the beginning of what they had accomplished.

Present Day

Sio grumbled softly into Nikki's ear, and the hotel room melted away, replaced once more by a forest, the moon shone brightly above them as fireflies flitted back and forth. He felt her tension start to ease, if only just a little bit. She slowly broke the embrace and turned to face him, completely bare and lit only by the light of his illusion. Sio wished he could learn to speak the way she did, time with Ben and Lyssa had given him an idea on how to write, but words didn't fit his muzzle right. So, the Zoroark did the next best thing. He grabbed Nikki's phone, and tapped a familiar song. The opening bars played, and he saw the corner of her mouth lift into a smile.

I love you in a million ways

From your toes to the tip of your nose

To me you're like a bouquet

Of traits

That combine and paint a picture

Of every color

That light can make"

She pulled him close, and her body swayed in time to the music. He tried to match, but dancing was something he preferred to watch her do, rather than try for himself. He leaned back and shifted the scene around them to one of her old bedroom. He saw confusion on her face for just a moment, but he grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest, tapping it gently, the scene around them shifted; hotels, campsites, fields, boats, planes, trains, seemingly anywhere the two had ever spent a night. Each flash Sio tapped her hand, held directly over his heart.

“Oh Sio, you big dummy." She said with a shaky sigh. “You are right though. Home is where we want it to be isn't it." She pressed her head against his, and held him close to her. The tension melted away as she swayed with him, the rain and thunder seemed so much more distant now. Her hands slid down his back to his waist, then down to his sheath. The need to be held had become a need to be joined. She rubbed his sheath firmly and warmth bloomed in his stomach. He leaned in and licked at her neck where it met her shoulder, her hand closing around his muzzle, holding him there as she toyed with him. “I need you Sio. I need my fox. Show me how we make this home"

She led him to the bed, and gestured for him to lie down, her lithe form straddled him shortly after. Her entrance was slick, and perfectly warm as she pressed against his shaft, grinding her hips forwards and back. She shifted her hips and kept pushing, gliding up and down his cock until he was slick with her arousal. She bit her lip as she kept grinding. A bead of precum welled to his tip and she paused, lifting off and grabbing his cock. She lined herself up, and sank down onto his length, taking every inch he had to offer.

“Zor-Ark" Sio groaned, and she put a hand on his chest.

“Home's right here" She said, and clenched around the thick and hard shaft inside of her. Sio's paws found her hips as she bounced on his cock. Each time she pulled up he pulled her back down his length. The thunder outside grew louder, the rain grew more insistent, and the two lovers grew more passionate. Her hips angled to apply new pressure, earning a groan from Sio, matched by a high moan from her. She didn't care if they woke the neighboring rooms, neither did he. She switched from her slow measured bounces to faster, eager riding. Her hips meeting his with slick wet slaps. His knot bludgeoned her lips, demanding entry each time she came down onto him. She fell forwards, pressing her lips to his muzzle as she ground herself back and forth, shivering on top of him. “Do it, breed me Sio, take me and make me yours" She moaned, breaking their kiss only for the moment needed to speak.

He grabbed her hips and shoved, and that was the end. Her moan silenced by his kiss as his knot slipped in. He throbbed inside of her as she spasmed and shook, her orgasm crashing down over her and pulling him to join. Sio challenged the downpour outside to match the torrent within his trainer. He gave her every drop of his spunk that he possibly could. He arched his hips and lifted her up off the bed by a few inches, ensuring his cock was as deep as could be. When their orgasms subsided Nikki collapsed onto Sio's chest, and the Zoroark wrapped his arms around her. Her heaving chest pressed to his own so tightly that he felt her heartbeat race. He pulled the blankets over them. Nikki held close to him and drifted to sleep, still firmly tied to him. His knot kept all the mess inside. There would be cleaning to do in the morning, but it was a hotel, as long as they didn't make eye contact with the housekeeping they would be fine.

Nikki let out a soft sigh as she slipped to sleep, and Sio kept his arms around her. She was his human, his mate. And he was her Zoroark, together wherever their adventures took them. He let out a yawn, and let himself relax fully, the weight of his trainer comforting on top of him. Just before sleep claimed him, Sio looked out through the window and watched the stormy dark sky through light eyes.
