**********8**********

Tora woke up in a daze with her eyes half-closed. Even though she just woke up, she felt ready to go back to sleep. She looked at her surrounding and found herself in an unfamiliar settling. There was a curtain to the side of her that hung on a rail that went around her bed. A table to the side of her bed with a clipboard on it. Out the corner of her eye, she saw something big and pink walk past her room door. It took a minute, but she finally realized she was in a pokemon center. She wondered why she was there before memories of the previous day flooded her mind. She shivered as the thought of the nidoking pressing his length into her virgin hole came back to her. She tried to sit up to get a better look around, but was quickly reminded that her injuries in her back had not fully healed so she laid back down.

"How could I have been so stupid." she thought to herself. "I knew there was something around there earlier and I was stupid enough to take a NAP! A stupid nap! If I didn't do that... If I had just left when I felt something was wrong... Then... none of this would've happened." She wiped the tears forming in her eyes, but more came forth to replace them. She felt awful. But who wouldn't feel that way after their virginity was nearly stolen from them. It's not like she never thought about having sex, it's just that she never really looked for anyone to be her first. All the male pokemon near the town was either a bug, a bird, a nidoran, or a rattata. She wasn't being picky, but the pickings for a decent male were a little slim. She wanted a nice, strong, and gentle male who would protect her from things too dangerous for her to handle alone. Was that too much to ask for? Was she being selfish to ask for such a thing? Did Arceas want to punish her for something she did? And if so, what did she do to cause that misfortune of yesterday. So many questions more questions buzzed around in her head, but no one around could answer any of them. She wept silently on the bed, not even noticing the chansey that came in the room.

"What's the matter Tora? Thinking about what happened yesterday?" Tora looked to the side of her bed and saw a chancey with a clipboard in her paws. Tora wiped the tears from her eyes and took a moment to calm herself down.

"Yeah."

The chancey looked at her sympathetically. "I can't say that everything's going to be fine, but please try to get through this the best you can." Tora nodded.

"Yes ma'am."

The chancey laughed. "You can call me Chance. Ma'am makes me sound like an old lady." This made Tora laugh a bit. "Besides, you have people who want to see you smile again. Like your human parents that cute little mew brought here." Tora nearly shot straight up, but the pain in her back reminded her of the situation she's in and she let out a cry of pain. "Please don't move around too much. We only gave you medicine for the fever you had and some mild pain killers. We're going to treat your other injuries today." Tora lay back down.

"Sorry about that. You said Aaron brought my parents here?"

"Aaron? Is that the name of mew?" Tora nodded. "Then yes. You should have seen him! He comes out of nowhere with you passed out by his side and is shouting for anyone to help you. He looked extremely worried about you. Even while we were treating you, I was told that he sat with the Welbys until he heard that you'll make a full recovery." Chance was very animated when she was telling the story. Tora almost couldn't believe what she was hearing. He did save her from certain doom, so a follow-up trip to the hospital was expected. Still, it was nice of him to do it.

"Did he say if he was coming back?" she asked.

The excited chancey calmed down. "I'm not sure, but if he was that worried about your well-being, I would think so."

"Oh... So he didn't say he was coming to check on me." That was clearly not the answer she wanted to hear.

"Well, no... But why do you... ahh I see." Chance said with a big grin.

"See what?" Tora asked wondering what was to figure out.

"You like him, don't you?" Tora's face got a little red.

"N-no I don't. We haven't even known each other for more than two days. I mean, sure, he kissed me and-"

"Aww, he kissed you. You sure are moving pretty fast for a two day relationship." Chance said sarcastically.

"He kissed my cheek!" Tora said defensively. "I did the same thing to him after he saved me... or at least I think I did. I don't remember too much after he came back to check on me." she said sadly.

"It'll be okay. When he comes back to see you, you can kiss him all you want." Chance said as she left the room.

"I do not want to kiss him!!!" Tora shouted with a beet-red face.

*****8*****

A couple hours went by and Tora was getting bored. She couldn't move and going back to sleep was impossible. All she could do was have private conversations to herself, but that didn't last very long. "Arg, there's nothing to do here!" she shouted. She looked out the window to her right and saw that the sun was getting up pretty high. "Must be almost noon." she thought. "Jeez, where's mom and dad?" Just as she finished that thought, Marcus and Angela came into her room.

"Tora!" Angela exclaimed as she ran to her bed. "Oh, my poor baby. We were so worried about you."

"We sure were. When Aaron told us you were in the pokemon center, we weren't sure if you were going to be okay." Marcus said as he took the other side of the bed. He looked around for a quick second. "Speaking of Aaron, where is he? You'd think the way he acted yesterday he'd be the first one here."

"I'm sure he'll be here soon enough." Angela said. Tora couldn't help but see his point. If he acted like Chance described, he really should've been the first here.

"Maybe he'll come later, when it's not so busy. He's sort of uncomfortable around humans." Tora said in his defense.

"Really? I would've never guessed from the way he acted around us at breakfast yesterday." Angela commented.

"Yeah, he seemed like he had a good time... especially right before he left." Marcus teased.

"Dad! He only came because I asked him to, since he was already in the house."

"He was in the house before we met him? I didn't see him anywhere when I got up. Where was he?" Angela asked a bit surprised by this new information.

"He was...uh... He was..." Tora stumbled trying to find something else to say, but it was already too late.

"Tora." Marcus said in a serious tone. "Was he in the bathroom with you that morning?" Tora's mind went blank when he asked that. She couldn't come up with a suitable lie that would explain where he was in the house while they were making breakfast, so she turned away from them and nodded in embarrassment. This was a little shocking to them. Tora had never brought any pokemon friends over the house, but she managed to share a bathroom with one right under their nose without them knowing. Marcus and Angela looked at each other with worried looks before turning their attention back to their embarrassed mouse, dreading the next question they didn't want to ask. "Tora... Did you two, um... You know... Uh..." Tora looked at them in shock once she realized where he was going with that.

"N-no! We didn't do that! He just popped in out of nowhere and offered to wash my back!" They both gave her skeptical looks. "It's the truth, I swear!" Marcus and Angela studied her for moment to see if she was telling the truth. When she showed no signs of lying, they relaxed.

"Well okay then. We just want to make sure you're being careful. We don't need you suddenly popping out little pichu's all over the place." Marcus said sternly. Angela tossed a piece of candy from her purse and hit Marcus on his head.

"Dear, if she wants to go out and have sex, that's her business. She's old enough to know what she's doing." Tora was feeling really embarrassed right now. This was the kind of conversation she wishes Chris was here for, so he could come up with something to change the subject. The visit lasted for another hour. Thankfully, they moved on to a different topic and stopped making her uncomfortable with personal questions. Nurse Joy and Chance came in the room saying they were going to treat Tora's other wounds and would be ready to be picked up later on that day. Marcus and Angela said their farewells and left Tora in the Nurse's care. Joy gave her some sedatives and said when she wakes back up, she'll be able to move around again. Sleep quickly took over Tora's mind and she was sent off to dreamland.

*****8*****

Aaron awoke from his slumber feeling refreshed and full of energy. He also felt a strange weight on his chest that turned out to be Azelf, sleeping peacefully and looking content with an arm draped over his chest. The events from the previous day came back to his mind and he felt his face get a little hot. His stomach growled. "Okay, okay. I'll get something to eat." he thought to himself. He sat up and stretched to get the early morning kinks out of his body before getting up fully. He flew out of the cave and dove into the lake, protected by a psychic barrier from the icy cold water. He swam through the water looking for a fish that might satisfy his hunger. Even though he was small, compared to most pokemon, he could eat just as much as anyone. "Hmm... This mornings pickings are on the slim side." he thought. Then he thought about something. "If I'm hungry, then Azelf is sure to be starving when he wakes up. Since we had such a... pleasant night... I think I'll get him something special." With that, the pink psychic cat teleported out of Sinnoh to a place where the best fish was caught.

Aaron appeared in the middle of a big city. Steel buildings went up far into the sky, tons of people were roaming the streets, and there was slim looking train in the distance. There was only one place in the world where all these things were; Goldenrod. But the best fish wasn't exactly in the city; it was in the forest just outside of it, in the Ilex Forest. "Damn, missed it by that much." Aaron thought. "Better get outta here befo-"

"Holy shit! It's a Mew!"

"Damn..." Aaron looked around to see everyone within hearing range look his way. No doubt everyone was surprised to see a legendary pokemon in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. Not even a few seconds after his discovery, a nearby trainer released a quilava from their pokeball.

"Yaaawn... It's about time you let me outta there." the quilava said toward its trainer. "So what's for... breakfast..." The quilava finally noticed Aaron's presence. "Aww snap! A mew!" It didn't take long for a few other trainers to release their pokemon as well. A scizor, skarmory, houndour, quilava, linoone, and an ursaring stood before him. Aaron let out a sigh.

"As much as I would love to battle all you trainers, I gotta go." Aaron teleported himself out of the city, leaving the trainers and everyone else disappointed.

Aaron reappeared over a small lake in the Ilex forest. Relieved to be out that mess, he got busy searching for that special fish. It took him about 15 minutes to find what he was looking for. A nice juicey salmon. Sure, these fish were everywhere, but the ones here were somehow tastier than the others. He grabbed the fish, brought it up on land, and chopped it's head clean off. "Now that this is done, I better hurry back before my hunger really gets to me." He gathered up some dry branches that were lying around and warped his way back to Azelf's cave. When he got back, he found that Azelf had not woken up yet, so he went on ahead and prepped the fish for cooking and got the fire started. He cut the fish into small pieces, skewered them with long thin sticks and placed them over the fire to cook. While the fish cooked, Aaron took this time to go back out and retrieve some berries as a side dish. When he got back, Azelf was awake and tending to the rest of the fish. Once he noticed Aaron had returned, he broke out into a huge smile.

"You're back. Did you do all this for me?" Aaron smiled back.

"Of course I did. I thought I'd do something special for you, since last night was... really nice..." he said with a blush. Azelf flew over to Aaron and pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks Aaron."

"No problem." On that note, they enjoyed a very nice breakfast while enjoying the others company. Afterward, Aaron left Azelf to himself to go visit Tora. He appeared in the lobby area of the pokemon center, startling a few people, and went up to the front desk. Nurse Joy was working at the front desk and noticed him pop on. "Excuse me, is it possible for me to see Tora right now?" Aaron asked politely.

"You're... Aaron, right? We just got finished treating her other wounds and she's currently sleeping at the moment, so you'll have to come back later." Joy explained. Aaron was disappointed at the news. "If you come back later, you can see her when the Welbys take her home." she said with her trademark smile. Aaron's spirit lifted.

"Thank you Nurse Joy. I'll be sure to come back around that time." The nurse nodded and Aaron teleported himself back to Sinnoh.

When he got back to Azel's cave, he saw that Mesprite and Uxie were inside with Azelf, talking and laughing. "Hey guys. What's going on?" Aaron said as he approached them. They suddenly went quiet once they realized Aaron came back. He thought it was strange they did that and felt like he intruded on something. Uxie was the first to speak up.

"Hey Aaron. We were waiting for you to come back. You ready to play?"

"Yeah, sure. What are you all up for?"

"I want to play 'Follow the leader'!" Mesprite suggested.

"That sounds good." Azelf said. "Any objections?" Uxie and Aaron shook their heads.

"Alright! I want to be leader since I came up with the game. Aaron, you take the rear." They all started giggling when she said that. Aaron didn't know what was so funny, so he shrugged it off as an inside joke.

"But I always take the rear." Azelf objected. They giggled again. Now Aaron was curious as to why they were laughing so much.

"That's why we have to let him do it. He hasn't had a turn yet. You can be leader and take the head next time around." Uxie said with a grin as she eyed Aaron. They broke into a laughing fit at this and Aaron felt utterly clueless as to what was so funny. They laughed for a couple minutes before they collect themselves and started the game. Mesprite was in front, followed by Uxie, Azelf, and Aaron.

They played this game for about an hour. During the whole time, the lake trio kept making inside jokes to Aaron, and Azelf would sometimes seductively sway his rump side to side. After the game ended, they took a short break before deciding on another game. While they were resting, Aaron was thinking about what they found so funny.

"I don't get it. None of their jokes make any sense." he thought. He went back to when they first started their laugh fest. "Hmm... Mesprite first said something about me taking the rear... then Azelf says he always takes the rear, which doesn't make sense because we usually go in any random order. Then Uxie says something about taking the head next time." He meditated on everything they said, to the way they acted when they said those things. "Aw shit. Don't tell me..." he said out loud. The lake trio looked at him and started laughing their asses off.

"Looks like the shuckle's finally crossed the finish line." Uxie said through her laughter. The others were laughing too much to say anything that was remotely comprehensible. Aaron's face turned a noticeable red.

"This is gonna be a long day..." he thought.

*****8*****

Tora awoke from her sleep feeling a lot better than she did before. She felt like she could actually move this time. She wiggled her legs first to make sure they weren't hurting, then wiggled the rest of her body, which also checked out fine. She giggled in happiness and kicked off the sheets. "Ahh, I feel like can take on the world!"

"Let's hope you won't have too." a familiar voice said. It was Chance. She was standing in the doorway with a clipboard in her paws. She came inside and sat down in a chair next to Tora's bed. "It looks like you're feeling a whole lot better." Tora stood up and started jumping on her bed from one end to the other.

"I do feel a whole lot better. When can I get outta here?"

"If you're a good girl, you can leave as soon as your humans come to pick you up tonight." Tora threw her little arms up and cheered a bit.

"Yes. I can finally get outta here!"

"Oh yeah, your boyfriend came over and was asking about you while you were sleeping."

"My wha-oof!" Tora got distracted by Chance's remark and miscalculated her landing, slipping off the edge of the bed. Chance rushed over to help her get up.

"You okay?" she asked, slightly chuckling.

"Yeah... I'm fine..." she said as she slowly got up. "But he's not my boyfriend."

"If you say so." Chance replied. She went back to her to her chair and scribbled something down before heading out the door. Tora let out a sigh.

"What's her problem?" she thought.

"Oh, before I forget," Chance said as she suddenly popped back in, causing Tora to jump and squeak. Chance shrugged off Tora's actions and continued talking. "Nurse Joy wants you to get some exercise so you can stretch out your muscles. Follow me to the playroom." And with that, she was gone again. Tora ran out her room to see Chance already halfway down the hall.

"Damn she's fast."

Tora followed Chance to the playroom. The room wasn't all that big, being in a hospital after all, but it was large enough for pokemon to get the exercise they needed while in recovery. It was roughly the size of a large kitchen or a master bedroom. It had various kinds of toys to play with. Other pokemon were there too, none that looked to be around the same age as her. They were still children. "Fresh out the womb" as they say. There were a couple of pidgey's, a sandshrew, a male nidoran, a pichu, and a cleffa. It felt more like a nursery to her than anything else.

"Have fun, and be nice to the kids." Chance said as she left Tora alone. The kids took notice of her and began to surround her with laughing faces.

"Hey, can you play with us?" the little nidoran asked.

"Sure I can. What are you kids playing?" Tora asked.

"We're playing tag. It's really fun. I'm the fastest out of everyone." the pichu said proudly.

"Okay, I'll play with you. Just don't be surprised when I catch you." Tora said with a playful growl. The group of kids screamed and ran in different directions. "Guess I'm 'it' then." Tora thought.

Tora played various games with the kids. She made sure to hold herself back so that the kids would win, though sometimes her competitiveness would vet the best of her and she would win. They played for a couple hours before taking a small break. While they were resting, the kids asked lots questions about her. She would answer them and sometimes, when it was called for, she'd tell them a story about a part of her life. They never got back to playing again, instead the kids felt sleepy. One by one they laid on the floor and drifted off to sleep. Tora couldn't help but feel happy when she looked at their sleeping faces. "They look even cuter when they're sleeping." Tora thought. "I wonder if I was that cute when I slept as a pichu?" With nothing to do, it wasn't long before she followed their example and took a nap as well.

*****8*****

"Tora... Tora, it's time to get up." Tora slowly opened her eyes and made a really big yawn. She looked up and saw Marcus standing over her grinning. "Aww, you look so cute when you're sleeping." Tora smiled and stretched as she got up.

"Is it time to go?" she asked.

"Yep. We've got a surprise for you."

"A surprise?! What is it?" she asked eagerly.

"You'll have to wait and see. Come on, Angela's waiting for us."

"Okay." Tora followed Marcus out the room, but she stopped at the doorway to take a last look at the kids. They looked really cute while they were sleeping; and she really enjoyed being around them. "I'm gonna miss them." she thought. She felt her heart begin to race when she looked at the sleeping pichu. Thoughts of cradling the little mouse and maybe even take him home with her crossed her mind. But that was impossible since he already had a trainer or whatever to look after him. Still, she felt that maybe one day...

"Tora? What's wrong?" Tora came back to reality and saw Marcus standing a few yards from her.

"Oh, um... Nothing." she said with a slight blush. She quickly caught up to him and they made their way out the pokemon center, into the car, and down the street.

"Put this over your eyes." Marcus said as he presented a headband to her.

"What for?"

"It's part of the surprise. Hurry up we're almost there." Tora quickly put the headband over her eyes so she won't ruin her surprise.

After a couple stops here and there, Tora felt the car come to a complete rest and heard Marcus exit the car. He came around the other side and picked up Tora to carry her to their mystery destination. As she was being carried, she heard sliding doors opening. An unnatural cold breeze hits her face. The sounds of calm and rushed footsteps were heard on what she assumed a tile floor. Phones were ringing and there were lots of people were talking. Too many things going on for her to accurately guess where she was. She felt a slight breeze on her head and Marcus bounce with each step, meaning he was taking the stairs. Now she knows they're in a place with more than one floor, not that it helped that much since there were plenty of buildings in Viridian City with at least three floors. Excitement and curiosity was building within her. Marcus had leveled off and was walking in a hallway. She still had no idea where she was. Marcus knocked on a door.

"Come in." Angela said from the other side.

"Look who I've brought to cheer you up." Marcus said as he opened the door. Tora was on edge. She was practically shaking with excitement.

"Tora?" someone in the room called.

Tora felt her heart skip. The voice of the one that called out to her couldn't belong to who she thought right? She removed the headband from her eyes. There, sitting up a bed with messy, unkept hair and a silly grin on his face, was a boy she thought she would never see awake again. Tears started to form in her eyes.

"Chris!" Tora shouted as she jumped out of Marcus' arms and onto the bed Chris was in. She embraced him in a hug that he was all too eager to return. "I missed you so much." she said, now starting to cry a bit.

"I missed you too." Chris replied. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Tora was letting out all the emotions she was feeling. Marcus and Angela looked on in joy as their son and his best friend were reunited again. They ended their hug. "So, I heard from mom that you got another guy in your life while I was knocked out." Chris said casually.

"W-what?" Tora turned to Angela with an annoyed look then back to Chris. "It's not what you think. We just met a couple days ago and we became friends." she explained.

"Really? Then how come you don't do the things you do with him with me?" Tora cocked her head to the side in confusion. "You know, all the kissing you two do." he said with a devilish grin. Tora blushed.

"T-that only happened once! And he was the one who kissed me!" she said defensively with her little arms crossed the best she could. Chris laughed.

"Well if that's true, how about you kiss me for being asleep for so long?" Tora blushed even harder and started fidgeting with her tail.

"Wha... But, we're..."

"Aww don't be shy." Chris said picking her up. He kissed her cheek, making Tora let out a "eep!" and tuck her arms and legs close to her body. He set her back down in his lap. "There. That wasn't so bad was it?" Tora shook her head vigorously.

"N-no... I guess not..." she replied with a now noticeable red face. Everyone in the room laughed at her shyness.

"So, who's this other guy I've heard so much about? Mom won't tell me what kind of pokemon he is, saying I'll never believe it." At last, Tira had something over him this time.

"Why should I tell you?" she said with a mischievous grin. "If mom won't tell you why should I?"

"Come on Tora, don't be like that. I really wanna know." he pleaded.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway."

"Of course I will. It can't be so unbelievable that I'll dismiss it right away." Tora gave him a "yeah right" look.

"Okay, I'll tell you. My new friend is a mew." she said. Things got quiet. Chris stared at Tora as if studying her to see if she was lying... or trying to decide how he should react.

"No way! Why would a mew suddenly come out of nowhere and be friends with you? That just sounds too outrageous. Mom, tell me who this guy really is."

"She's telling the truth."Angela replied. "As proof, why don't you tell Tora to ask us anything she wants. Her new friend Aaron made it so that we can understand what she says." Chris gave her a skeptical look.

"Okay, I'll bite. Ask them something Tora." Tora turned to Marcus.

"What's for dinner?" she asked.

"Chicken, rice, and corn." he answered.

"That good enough for ya?" Chris still wasn't convinced.

"You guys could've rehearsed that."

"Then how about you have her ask one of your questions? Just whisper it in her ear and have her relay it to us." Chris did as he was told.

"Where did you take mom on a first date?" Tora asked. Marcus thought about it for a moment.

"I believe it was at that nice Italian restaurant next to the movie theater." he responded.

"No it wasn't. You took me to a ball game because you didn't want your season tickets to go to waste." Angela corrected.

"Oh, that's right. We had those good seats too, right behind home plate." Chris was dumbstruck.

"D-did they just..." he askedTora, who gave an affirming nod. "Then you're really friends with a mew?" She nodded again. "That's awesome!" he shouted. "When can I see him? I want to meet him real bad."

"He's gone off to spent some time with his family for a while. He said he'll be back some time later." Angela said. Chris groaned in disappointment.

"I think I can get him to come over here." Tora said.

"You can? How?" Angela asked.

"Well, I'm not really sure, but I guess if I call to him mentally then he'll probably show up. He did say all I have to do is call out to him and he'll be here."

"Worth a shot." Marcus said. "Okay, everyone be quiet." Tora focused her mind on Aaron.

*****8*****

Aaron was still being the butt of Mesprite's and Uxie's jokes. "Will you guys stop it already? This is getting old." Aaron said a little irritated.

"Aww, is Aaron tired of being picked on?" Mesprite teased.

"Yes. He would like for you all to stop making fun of him." Aaron replied.

"Well for someone who used to be nearly homophobic, we heard you really tapped it last night." Both Aaron and Azelf blushed.

"Yeah, I didn't think you'd ever be getting it on him." Uxie commented.

"I'm gonna pop you all if you guys don't quit it!" Aaron shouted.

"Aaron? Aaron, can you hear me?" Aaron jumped at the sudden invasion in his mind.

"Who is this?" he asked mentally.

"Oh, you can hear me? Great! It's me, Tora."

"Oh, hey. I went over to the hospital earlier, but they said you were sleeping. Are you feeling better?" he asked with concern.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better. Um, are you doing anything right now?" Aaron looked around to see Uxie and Mesprite still laughing and making jokes, while Azelf was trying to get them to lay off the jokes.

"Uh... No, not really. Why, did you want to do something?"

"Actually, if it's not too much trouble, I want you to meet someone." she said cheerfully.

"It's no problem. I'll be there in a second."

"Okay. See you soon!" Aaron felt her presence leave his mind.

"Who were you talking to?" Mesprite asked.

"I was talking to my friend. Apparently, she wants me to meet somebody." Aaron replied.

"Are you leaving now?" Azelf asked in a saddened tone.

"Well, we haven't been doing much all day except joking about me getting it on with you, so... Yeah."

"When are you coming back?"

"I don't know, maybe later on tonight. We could all go around surprising the humans again."

"I love doing that!" Mesprite exclaimed. "It's funny how they react when they see us together."

"Then that's what we'll do then." Aaron declared. "Tell your friend we said hi." Uxie said.

"Forget that. When do we get to see her?" Azelf asked.

"I'll bring her around to meet you guys." Aaron replied.

"Okay. I really wanna see what kind of girl yo- whoa! What the hell is that?!" he shouted pointing behind Aaron. Aaron quickly turned around to see what got Azelf so excited, but didn't see anything.

"What are you talking about? There's nothing ther-hmm?!" As he was turning back around, Azelf planted a kiss on him before he could finish his sentence. Uxie and Mesprite were wooing and whistling. Azelf broke the kiss and winked at Aaron, making him blush a bit.

"W-well, I b-better get going then." He teleported to the hospital.

*****8*****

He reappeared just outside of the room Tora and the rest of her family were in. He looked around to see he was in an unfamiliar setting. There were people dressed in long white coats and colored clothing walking around with clipboards. Phones were ringing and the people sitting on the chairs along the wall were depressed about something.

"Must be another hospital." he thought. Without any further delay, he knocked on the door. Marcus came to the door a few moments later.

"Hey Aaron. Glad you came." Marcus greeted.

"Hey Mr. Welby. I was told to meet with somebody."

"He's right in here." Marcus let the pink cat inside the room. Aaron looked around the room and saw Angela sitting in a chair next to the window and Tora was sitting in the lap of a boy who was resting in bed. Tora could feel Chris shaking with excitement.

"Aaron, this is Chris. He's raised me since I was still an egg and my best friend in the whole world." Tora said proudly. Aaron flew over to Chris.

"Nice to meet you Chris. I'm Aaron." Chris grinned.

"Hey, I hear you've been making moves on my girl." Aaron's mind went blank as he couldn't come up with a response to that.

"Chris! Stop teasing Aaron. You just met him." Tora said. Chris laughed.

"Alright, I'll go easy on him for now. But anyway, I can't believe that you, a mew, would come out of nowhere and be friends with Tora while I was knocked out. Maybe if I get hit by another car, a suicune will come by."

"Chris! You are not getting hit by another car just to meet a pokemon!" Angela shouted.

"Relax mom, I didn't mean it." Chris replied. "How did you even meet her in the first place?" Aaron told him the story of how he met Tora near the park and where he took her to play hide 'n seek. "That sounds awesome!" Chris said after he finished his story. "Wish I could've gone. Anyway, where were you today?"

"I was visiting my cousins in Sinnoh." Aaron replied. "Speaking of them, they would like to see you sometime Tora."

"Really? I get to see them?" she asked happily.

"Yeah. I told them that I'd take you to meet them as soon as you felt like going." Tora let out a happy glee.

"Thanks Aaron, but I don't wanna go anywhere until Chris gets better and comes home. I want him to be with me when we travel together."

"Thanks Tora, but you don't have to miss out on fun while I'm stuck in here. I'm sure I'll be here for a while before I can go home again." Chris said.

"But, I want you to be with me when I go places. We have so much fun together." Tora whined.

"Yeah, I know. But if me being in this bed is keeping you from having fun, then I'd rather you go without me."

"But-"

"No buts! I thought I raised you to be an adventurer who wasn't afraid of a little challenge like this. Did all my hard work go to waste?" Chris said acting like he was sad.

"No, of course not!" Tora replied playing along. "I'll tough it out and be the best adventurer I can be!"

"I challenge you to have a good time with Aaron and his cousins without me until I recover from my injuries! Can you do it?!" he shouted.

"Yes sir."

"I can't hear you!"

"Yes sir!!!" she responded, now getting into it.

"Are you gonna go?!"

"Yeah!"

"You gonna have a good time?!"

"Yeah!"

"Ready to go now?!"

"Yeah!"

"Now get out there!"

"Yeah!" Tora jumped off the bed and ran out the room, really excited about going on a trip. Everyone in the room, except Chris, was confused as to what happened and why Tora just ran out the room.

"Is she coming back?" Aaron asked.

"Just give her second." Chris replied. Sure enough, Tora ran back into the room a few moments later looking embarrased and a little upset.

"You did that on purpose!" she shouted. Chris just laughed at her and was joined by everyone else.

*****8*****

The visit with Chris didn't last too long after that. A nurse came in the room saying they were disturbing people in other rooms and the hallway and were asked to leave. They didn't mind though, just being able to talk to Chris was more than enough to relieve them if any doubts they had of his recovery. Aaron went with Tora and her parents back to their home. It was close to evening so once inside, Marcus and Angela got started on preparing dinner. Tora and Aaron were in the den watching some television. There wasn't anything interesting on, so they settled on the battle station where intense battles were broadcasted. They would occasionally gasp and cheer at certain parts of the battles. After a little while, they got bored of it and turned the television off.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Tora asked. Aaron thought for a moment.

"I've never seen your room, so how about we head there?"

"Okay." Tora hopped off the couch and lead Aaron upstairs to her and Chris' room. "Well, this is it; my shared room." Aaron flew into the room and absorbed everything inside. He first went to the dresser. There were little figures of pokemon and a couple toys sitting on top. Next to that was a picture of Chris and Tora along with several other kids with their pokemon. He guessed it was taken a while ago because she's a pikachu in this picture.

"Where was this picture taken?" Aaron asked holding the picture in front of her. She took the picture in her paws and smiled.

"This was taken the time we went to a pokemon summer academy."

"Pokemon summer academy? What's that?" Aaron asked.

"It's kinda like a school for trainers and their pokemon to get to know each other better. They also teach trainers about other pokemon and how to care for your own."

"Sounds nice."

"It was nice, but it was a little difficult at the same time. That summer was the first time Chris showed an interest in girls other than me." Tora pointed to a girl who was standing next to them. She had shoulder length brown hair, green eyes, a pretty face, and a slender body. Quite attractive for a young girl.

"Was she mean to you or something?" Aaron asked.

"No, nothing like that. It's just that, when he started paying more attention to her than me... I got a little... Jealous." she replied.

"Was it that bad?"

"It was awful. He was drooling all over her and acting like her mindless pet." she said with emphasis on pet. "And it wasn't just him either. All of the other boys were after her too and she knew they were. She used her looks to get whatever she wanted out of them and it pissed me off." she said angrily.

"So what did you do about it?" Aaron asked as he explored more of the room.

"I tried to tell Chris that she was just using him and the other boys, but he didn't see it that way. He said that she told him that she liked him and that I didn't know what I was talking about. It wasn't until he saw her making out with another boy did he believe me." she finished with with a sigh. "But that's in the past and since then he's believed my words a lot more." Tora put the picture back on the dresser. "So, tell me about yourself."

"What do you want to know?" Aaron asked as he sat on the bed.

"Well, you know. Where were you born? How old you are? Stuff like that. I've been telling you my life story, but I don't really know much about you." Tora replied as she sat next to him.

"Oh. Let's see... I was born on an island not too far from here. I didn't have any parents when I was growing up, so I had to learn everything on my own."

"Sounds rough." Tora commented.

"It was. Without any proper guidance from anyone, I acted very naive and was ignorant of the world's laws and customs. Well, I did meet a couple who did act like parents to me."

"Who were they?"

"My father was a typhlosion and my mother was a meganium. They were probably the nicest pokemon anyone would have ever met. They took me in after they helped me escape from a group of poachers. They were shooting at me the whole time they were chasing me."

"You were shot?!" Tora exclaimed.

"One shot came pretty close. Apparently I sell for big bucks in the black market. My powers weren't strong enough to stop a bullet. Anyway, despite the fact that they were so nice to everyone, they couldn't have the one thing that would make them feel completely whole as a family. They couldn't have children."

"Oh... So they took you in and raised you like their own?"

"Yes." Aaron replied with a sigh. "They tried over and over again to have one, but it never seemed to happen. I was too young to fully understand the situation they were in, but I knew I was very important in their lives and tried to be the best son they could ever ask for."

"Wow, you had a pretty rough life."

"I guess, but what I learned from them I'll never forget. They taught me how to be strong and to make the best out of any situation... no matter how bad it is." Aaron fell silent. He stared at the floor remembering the times he spent with his parents. It was quiet for a while and it was getting a little awkward for Tora.

"So, what happened to your parents? Are they doing well?" she asked hoping to ease the awkwardness. Aaron took a moment to respond.

"They... were killed by poachers." he said as a tear rolled down his face. Tora didn't know what to say. She couldn't think of any words that would make this new information seem not as terrible as it sounded.

"Th...they were killed?"

"Yes. They were trying to protect me from the poachers that ventured deeper into the forest. They somehow found out that I was around the area and were searching for me. They found us at our home while we were eating lunch. My father was the first to notice them and shot a flamethrower at one of them. The attack killed the poacher and he told us we had to leave, so we ran out of our home and we...we..." Aaron went silent. It was getting hard for him to tell the story about what happened. He was trying to hold back his tears the best could.

"You don't have to tell me the rest." Tora said. She saw that he trying to keep himself composed and didn't want him to continue if it was going to bring up old scars. She scooted closer to him and wrapped her arm around his shoulder to allow him to rest his head on her. He took the invitation and promptly rested his head on her chest. He sighed as she started to rub his back. They stayed like that for a while.

"Tora, are you upstairs with Aaron?" Angela called from the stairs.

"Yeah!" Tora replied.

"Dinner will be ready in a couple minutes, so wash up and come down!" Aaron lifted himself up and stretched.

"Guess we better go eat." he said with a small grin.

"Yeah. Let's go." Tora replied with a small grin of her own. She hopped off the bed and together, they washed up and went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Either of you want any berries with your meal?" Marcus asked while he was setting the table.

"Yes." they said together. Marcu nodded and finished setting the table in a couple of minutes. Everyone sat around the table filling their plates with food and started eating. Dinner was pleasant. Aaron told them more about himself, leaving out anything too painful to bring up, and told them about Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprite. Marcus and Angela seemed to be fascinated with them. Aaron thought it was best not to tell them that Azelf was attracted to him, for fear they would get the wrong idea. He also told them of some of travels around the world and the adventures he went on with the local pokemon. After dinner, Tora and Aaron helped put the leftover food away and clean up. By the time they finished, they realized it was getting late. The sun was already setting and it wouldn't be long before it got dark. Tora showed him to the front door again.

"I guess I'll see you later." Aaron said.

"Yeah. Maybe we could talk again." Tora replied. They stood in front of the door nervously looking at each other. Tora saw Marcus and Angela out the corner of her eye looking at them from the kitchen.

"Mom! Dad!" she yelled half annoyed. They quickly moved out of sight, giggling. "Jeez, sorry about that. I think they're expecting another show like last time." Aaron laughed.

"Well... I don't mind... doing it again if you don't." he said with a slight blush. Tora blushed as well.

"W-what do you mean?"

"I-I mean, I... want to... kiss you again." he felt his face get a little warmer.

"Um... don't you think we're moving kinda fast. I mean, we've only known each other for a couple days." she pointed out, now fidgeting with her tail. Aaron looked to the ground disappointedly.

"Y-yeah, you're right. We don't need to do that. How about a hug? Nothing wrong with that right?" he said nervously. Tora took a moment before answering.

"No, I guess not." They slowly approached each other and embraced in an awkward hug. Since Aaron's arms were clearly not long enough to wrap around her, he settled for most of her neck. Tora didn't have a problem wrapping her arms around Aaron's smaller body, but his earlier confession made her nervous... and a bit excited at the same time. Both of them let out mental sighs of relief and calmed themselves down. Though the hug was only a few seconds, it took only that long for something else to happen that made Aaron regret doing it. Tora felt something poke her belly and was going to see what it was, but Aaron quickly pushed himself away.

"S-sorry!! I-I-I gotta go!" he said quickly before disappearing. In the couple seconds it took him to say that, Tora was almost certain that she saw his... thing sticking out a little. She looked at her belly and saw a little drop of something she wasn't familiar with. She wiped it up with her paw and sniffed at it.

"Doesn't smell weird..." she thought. Then she licked it. Almost immediately, she figured out what it was. Her face got hot and she ran upstairs to the bathroom as fast as she could. She turned the water in the tub on and quickly got in, scrubbing herself down.

"You okay Tora?" she heard Marcus ask through the door.

"YesI'mfine!" she sputtered in one breath.

"Um... okay. See you in the morning."

"Goodnight!" Tora finished her bath and went to bed with one thought in her mind.

"I just tasted his stuff."

Meanwhile, Aaron went back to his cousins, cursing himself and told them why he was freaking out. Needless to say, he was teased by Mesprite, but Uxie told her to stop before she got carried away. Azelf on the other hand, was trying not to stare at Aaron's cock that was standing carelessly in the air for all to see. He went to sleep in Uxie's cave for the night with one thought in his head. "I got hard in front of her."

*****8*****

A couple weeks went by after that day. Aaron had said goodbye to Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprite and went about his worldly travels going who knows where. He stopped by to pay Tora and the Welbys a visit once every couple days to tell them about where he's been and to check on them. He couldn't help but notice that during his visits, Tora seemed preoccupied and was a bit hesitant to get too close to him at first. She eventually got over the incident after he explained that it was an accident, not that he blamed her for her reaction. It was a bit... overwhelming for him too. Chris in the meantime was making a fast recovery. He was already walking around and was almost back to full health. Though the doctors say that he shouldn't be running so much, he defied them anyway and usually runs out the gym area to make them chase him. He would always get scolded by them afterwards, but that didn't stop him from doing it again.

Today was a good day for Tora. Today was the day Chris would be discharged from the hospital and come home. When she got up that morning, she took a bath and made sure that she was squeaky clean for him. Marcus and Angela made a special breakfast that morning. Hand-made pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, and a bowl of various types of berries given to them by Aaron the day before. After that, they waited for two o'clock to come around so that they could pick-up Chris and take him to a nice restaurant to have a nice lunch.

As soon as the clock hit two, they left the house, drove to the hospital, and went straight to Chris' room. When they got there, he was already fully dressed and ready to go. Tora couldn't resist hugging him again. The first thing that he noticed was that Tora's fur seemed to be softer and cleaner than it usually was. "She got all cleaned up for me." he thought. "I'll be nice to her today." They ended the hug and stared into each other's eyes, saying things with their gaze that didn't need to be said out loud.

"Ready to go home?" Marcus asked, breaking them out of their special moment.

"Heck yeah! Let's get outta here!" Chris replied. With that, the family of four left the hospital and spent the day enjoying themselves. They went to a nice restaurant that served the best seafood in town, went to see a movie, and ended the day by going out for ice-cream in the park. The sun was only a couple hours from setting, marking the end the day and the start of a new beginning as a family made whole once again. Marcus and Angela sat on a bench talking and watching the kids play, while Chris and Tora sat under a tree enjoying the scenery. His arms were wrapped around her while she sat in his lap, with his hand slowly rubbing her belly. "Tora, can I ask you something?"

"You just did." she joked. Chris laughed.

"Good one, but seriously, how would you feel about us taking on the pokemon league one day?" Tora looked up at him in surprise.

"You mean..."

"Yeah. That accident got me thinking. If I had died right then, what have I been doing with my life so far? So far I've been stuck in this town just playing around with you, no offence. There are places that I didn't get to see, pokemon I haven't met, and I haven't been getting myself ready for any of those things. I want to live out my life to the fullest before I finally take that big sleep. Tora, would you like to be my partner?" Tora didn't know what to really say at first. Sure, he was mostly carefree about everything, but if he actually focuses on something, there was no doubt in her mind that he could get it done. If they were to take the league challenge, they would have to leave their home behind, the place where they had so many fond memories made. Not only that, but that would mean parting ways with Aaron. The last few weeks she's spent with him were some of the best she's ever had, despite the awkwardness that seems to surround them whenever they meet. It was all so sudden. Although she didn't want to leave everything behind, she knew the day would come when he would finally make his decision. She turned herself around and smiled at him.

"I want to be your partner." She embraced him in a hug and nuzzled his face. He returned the hug and nuzzled her back. After that, she turned herself back around and layed back against him as they shared the rest of the evening sun together. As soon as the sun had set, Marcus called them over to go home. Once there, the family spent an enjoyable evening together before retiring for the night.
