Chapter Four

Preparation Insight

Far away many leagues to the south-west at the very same time Dawn was telling Evin she could no longer travel with him, Giovanni had just arrived at his island base far off the coast of Castelia city to pay the operation there a surprise visit. All the grunts and executives of the organization stood at stiff attention as he walked the halls and inspected the buildings that had only been finished being build a month before.

The executives read off the list of what was left to be done as Giovanni entered the labs with a displeased sneer etching his already angry features. This was the site of his latest project to take over the world and he was not pleased with what he had heard of the operation's successful advances. Entering a room full of men wearing white lab coats as each worked with substances of precarious origin and nature, Giovanni made a direct approach towards the lead scientist.

The man in charge had darker and more sinister looking features that Giovanni himself or any other there as he was possibly the only other man within his own organization that Giovanny actually feared. The other scientists continued their work in silence, some working with blood and others with certain drugs and steroids, but only a select few worked with glowing substances beyond anyone's comprehension as Giovanni addressed the leader of the whole division.

Looking up from his work of paper schematics the lead scientist acknowledged Giovanni with a haggard sounding reply as he said, "Ah, so our great leader has decided to finally pay us a visit? Please may I ask, what brings you so far from home?" Giovanni hated the man's antics, but replied in his usual tone to try and sound unshaken, "It has reached my ear that progress here has reached a near stand-still and while I understand delays I decided that it was necessary not to ignore this one and came to have a look around for myself to ensure that work was proceeding apace."

The lead scientist made a grinding sound in his chest and throat that sounded like gravel being crushed before he then replied in a much more harsh rasping voice, "The rumors were probably spread by spies. The little maggots seem to infest the very walls with each stone we lay as your recruitment methods of late have made it quite easy for them to slip in. We already have five of the twenty-five ingredients we require, so if anything you might say we are ahead of schedule with very few things standing between us and our goals.

The league's finest are too entangled in politics to deal with us directly and the army is nothing more than a bunch of idiots waving guns over their heads. The only thing that is really wasting our time here is this little inspection of yours." Looking a bit stung, Giovanni said, "You work for me, you better remember that when the time comes; without me you would still be sitting in a cell rotting away as bugs and vermin slowly devoured you. So with that said, is there anything else you need or could use to speed things along before I leave?"

The scientist had a dark expression as he momentarily loudly sucked on his few remaining front teeth, but then seemed to lighten up as the idea crossed his diabolically brilliant mind and said, "Dust... dust from the second time traveler. I don't need it right away, but it will be essential later on, so I trust you will be able to figure out the clue I just gave you easily enough and before long acquire what is needed. But until then I just need you gone!"

Giovanni loathed the man in front of him, but nodded his agreement that he was no longer needed there. But before leaving, Giovanni stopped long enough to gaze into the five glowing tanks that now housed the fruits of his ultimate ambition one last time before departing. Everything he had was riding on this latest endeavor, so he hoped that it was all worth the risk before he then left the lab and addressed the men outside.

"Do whatever Dr. Revarious requires of you without hesitation or feeling. I know he is hard to work with, but keep in mind that all of us will benefit from the efforts rendered here if we are successful. Work hard and fast and you will be rewarded, but if you work slow and slow progress down, you will be punished!"

All gave a loud, "Yes sir!" as if they were addressing their general since everyone knew better than to voice their concerns at this point. No one had crossed Giovanni since his new plan had first come together, for right after his plan had been purposed to the rest of the organization the one person that had spoken their objections in opposing it were never heard from again. Giovanni now stood at the precipice of his greatest and most risky creation ever and was not about to have his plans foiled by anyone. Looking back at the compound of buildings as he now entered his personal airship, in a hushed voice he whispered to himself, "This time it better work!"

***

Evin had not been expecting Dawn to say she was leaving them and indeed felt sad and worried that she was leaving his company so suddenly in dangerous territory. But despite the danger, Dawn had made up her mind and there was no way for Evin to convince her otherwise before they finished their breakfast at the pokemon center. From there they went their separate ways; while Evin went to get more equipment at the local shop Dawn left the city for the next on foot with Piplup in her arms.

Rika wasn't happy to see Dawn leave on such terms from what happened that morning, but she also saw this as a great opportunity to get to know Evin better and perhaps train with him one on one, which was something she had wanted to do for quite a while now since she evolved. Evin ended up buying a bike that could fold up like a piece of origami small enough to easily hook to the end of his backpack and easily carry. He got a few other pieces of primary equipment along with some great balls and potions with the money he had saved up. After he was done buying stuff though, he was totally broke again. He knew he needed to win some battles if he was going to be able to get more money for stuff, so he decided it was time to quit wasting time and move on.

From there he returned to the pokemon center and gave Professor Juniper a call and informed her of the situation of how Dawn had just left them to continue on her own and that he was sorry that he couldn't stop her. The Professor clucked her tongue with a bit of worry on her face, but then said, "It's really not either of our calls to say who she travels with. I really would have preferred she stayed with you to keep herself further from danger, but if she's become uncomfortable about traveling with you then that is as we say is that."

Evin then gave her a status report of what had been occurring with his mind and body and told her about how Rika helped him get some of the powers under manageable control after she evolved so that he didn't feel like he was going to go insane. Juniper was very pleased and interested in what he had to say about his condition and asked him many more questions before giving more advice, "From what you have told me, I get the impression that now might be a good time for you to take some time away from traveling to train yourself since you are also alone now.

Having Rika evolve to help you with your problems is good in the sense that it means that she is comfortable with you, as everything you do together strengthens your bonds as a team, but depending on her ability for too long is not so great. If you have powers of your own then you need to master them and in this sense Rika could be your trainer just as much as you are hers. Lucario are known to have some psychic tendencies along with the ability to use such attacks with some training and are also known to be able to use a telepathy speech of sorts. Those abilities coupled with her instinctual mastery of spiritual aura makes her the ideal companion for someone in your unique predicament.

My suggestion to you now is this; continue in the direction that you are headed, but along the way find an out of sight camping area where no one will be able intrude on you without you knowing about it. Once you find such a place stay there and train until you've either mastered your abilities or your food and water supplies run out. If your supplies are the first to run dry just remember that you can by all means stay at any pokemon center for as long as is required. Nurse Joy may become curious as to why you are hanging around so much, but so long as you say it is for extra training she shouldn't press you too hard."

Evin was thoughtful of all the professor had said and thanked her for the advice and said that he would do just as she had said when he got the chance and then said he would give her a call if anything else came up. Juniper nodded and replied, "Take care." Evin sighed as the call ended; already he thought this day was going to be pretty strange, without Dawn around to fill him in on the things he didn't know, he wasn't sure how inconspicuous he could remain when talking to others.

Sighing again as he picked up his things he started to make his way back outside and then began walking with Rika at his side to the city gardens. They walked at a leisurely pace while Evin continued to think and hope Dawn would be alright on her own. He knew he shouldn't have had this feeling of dread since Rika was with him, but he just couldn't shake that feeling as he and Rika left the city behind and started down the same path that Dawn had taken a while earlier to the next city.

The daycare center came into view about half way through the day and Evin battled some of the young trainers around it before he stopped to talk to the daycare man. Asking the daycare man about what he should do with his two water type pokemon that had become mates since he hoped that he could somehow figure out what to do about them.

Hearing Evin's plea delighted the old man beyond compare as he began telling Evin of all the mating habits the two water types of those kind often had and went on into telling him, "Your two water types have all the right compatibilities, from type and gender to nearly the same forms, they should be kept together at all times and as far as battles and contests go they should preform very well together. As their bonds to each other grow so will their cooperative performances, mated pairs are often the goal of any and all trainers that want to form wonderful duet teams since same genders don't always see eye-to-eye and non-mate couples usually flounder in moments of confusion."

The daycare man congratulated Evin on having a mated pair once more, but now asked a few questions of his own, "You've never had to deal with mated pairs before have you?" Evin nodded, "Hmm, well I started thinking that this was the case by the look of your expression. The best thing to do for them is to just let them do what they would in their free time even if the acts make you and sometimes your other pokemon feel uncomfortable, so long as it's not in open public. You trainers all being so young all the time I sometimes forget that a good number of you aren't very well versed in how life beyond school really works. It's a part of life lad, learn to love and respect it. You being around thirteen or fourteen I would have thought that you would have at least started to sort this stuff out by now, but I guess that's just how most parents are these days, keeping their kids in the dark for as long as they can. Anyway, take care lad; I got work to attend to."

(More like helping pokemon get over their own fears of having sex) Evin thought; needless to say, this was not the information Evin had been seeking. He didn't like the fact that he had been told to just let them keep on doing lewd things with each other and he was dead sure he never wanted to see Spazz falling head over heels in a match again whenever he had Aqua use attract. (but if that's is going to be how things work out best, so be it.) he thought again and sighed at his own helplessness.

Continuing down the road with Rika, Evin had learned more than he had ever wanted to about pokemon mating habits and another interesting fact about how pokemon laid their eggs. He would have never thought about it before something like that had become relevant information, but he was glad to hear that it was a quick and relatively painless event when it was time. Though the one thing he did think to be rather strange for a warm-blooded critter like Rika was that she too would lay eggs instead of having a normal pregnancy. The thought made him blush before he tried to shake the thought out of his head.

Rika just tilted her head since she didn't quite know why he had suddenly turned red in the face and shook his head. She in all this time had been a little preoccupied by all the different sexual smells wafting around in the air from behind the daycare and hadn't paid too much attention to what Evin and the old man had been talking about. Following Evin after leaving the old man to his work, Rika couldn't fathom why Evin was acting so flustered whenever she drew near.

It was a vexing change in his personality that she wasn't going to put up with as she became annoyed by it, but then, quite boldly, she pushed aside his awkward shyness by grabbing his arm and forcibly walking beside him and happily sighed from his mild protest. A few hours and a few embarrassed blushes later Evin was amazed at how much better he was starting to feel, not only about the sexual subject, but also his own body as well. It was as if he had just gotten over a bad cold, as the pressure of his mind lessened considerably more now that they were away from the city.

Rika had been able to block most of his mental tensions while in the city, but not all of it, now however he was free as a bird as the rest of his tension drained away since for some reason just knowing more about the subject that had been bothering him for a while now had put his mind to rest. Though, Rika's acts of clinginess on his arm could still unsteady him a bit whenever he let his eyes wander over her body. Now that he knew more about pokemon mating habits and how pointless it would have been to try and stop it, he didn't feel quite so out of sorts by it.

Walking on, they encountered a few pairs of trainers along the way and battled in friendly completion to help Rika discover her new skills and weaknesses. As per the usual Rika was still a handful for Evin to keep under control as she often got over-excited or angry when she was hit, but wasn't quite as foolhardy as she was before. Evin could tell that she still longed to use whatever moves struck her fancy, but he was thankful that she at least gave him the moments he needed to think of a strategy of either defense or attack.

Everyone always seemed so courteous after a battle that Evin started to wonder if this was what this world was supposed to be like when evil teams weren't trying to take it over. Everything was so peaceful as far as emotions went, even while battling things still seemed to remain friendly. "I can hardly believe that this place is really at war with this kind of an atmosphere." Evin remarked after their last battle, "Everyone we've met seems to be of good nature and no one seems to be holding grudges over losing."

Shaking her head so that she could get her dreadlocks back in place Rika replied with her aura saying, ~Well, I don't know about the good natured part since everything I've faced today has tried to beat me to a pulp, but since I beat them to the punch and they were still able to smile afterwards I suppose you're right.~ Rika stopped and turned side to side for a moment before Evin noticed that she was having a thought of something she was having trouble saying, "What's wrong?"

Looking up from her paws that were pressed together she said, ~I've been wondering. Now that Dawn is gone and we are now alone, when were we going to go looking for a place where we can train alone like the professor said?~ Feeling anxious about wanting to get used to her own abilities was only part of it, but what she really wanted to do was to see what Evin was also capable of as she felt genuinely curious. Now that Dawn wasn't around, Evin had to agree that he was also kind of anxious to see what other powers he had and had to thank her again for keeping his sensing abilities in check as he thought about what to do next.

The sun was beginning to set, so he had to think quickly as they both ran down the road for a bit and finally found the spot he had been looking for near a cave entrance. Looking between the cave and the forest, the choice wasn't hard. Evin hated dark enclosed places, a feeling made all the more potent since his arrival in that world. Choosing to stay off the beaten paths, Evin and Rika squeezed through the trees into yet another clearing just north of the cave entrance. By the looks of things he was possibly the only one to have gone through the trees in years, so he was convinced that this was the ideal place to pitch camp.

It was getting dark now, so he had to work fast to get the tent up. Letting Aqua and Spazz out of their balls, Evin asked them and Rika to walk around and see if they could find some firewood for the night. by the time light had left the sky he was finished and while Aqua and Spazz returned fumbling around in the dark Rika remained nowhere in sight. Getting worried Evin first started the fire with the meager amount of sticks that had been gathered and hoped that Rika could use it as a beacon to come back to.

Minutes trickled by, but she never returned. Telling Aqua and Spazz to stay put, Evin took a flashlight from his bag and the knife from his belt and advanced into the darkness. His senses were still being blocked, so he figured that she must have still been nearby and most likely okay, but he couldn't begin to even guess why she hadn't come back yet if she were okay.

"Rika!" Evin yelled in a hushed tone before the sound of movement caused him to freeze where he was. ~Don't move and turn off that light.~ came Rika's voice in his head, ~The pack has nearly moved on to another area.~ looking around with only his eyes as he clicked the light off, Evin whispered, "Where are you?" No reply came, but from the sound of grass being trampled by many paws Evin guessed that they had just narrowly escaped being detected by a lot of unwanted company. Finally the clearing grew quiet again and Evin risked turning his head and again saying a bit louder, "Where are you?"

~Not telling.~ came the reply this time with a hint of playfulness. From the sound of it, she was turning this into a game of hide and seek now that the danger had passed. "Awe come one, do you have to do this now?" he complained as he clicked the light back on. "It's really dark out here when there's no moon." The bushes moved behind him, but just before he could turn to look Rika sprang out right in front of him like a raptor in Jurassic park. He hit the ground with a thud as Rika happily said, ~Got ya!~

Evin glared up at her as she had all four paws on his chest while her tail wagged happily back and forth. "That wasn't funny. I was seriously worried about you when you didn't come back and now you've just shaved about ten years off my life span with that scare you just gave me." Evin's scolding didn't faze Rika's proudness at all as she just replied, ~I didn't stay out on purpose, I was gathering sticks when a pack of mightyena approached and if it hadn't been for me you'd be all chewed up by now.~

Not very convinced that she had just saved his life, Evin pushed her off before saying, "Okay whatever, so where is this wood you've been gathering? We need to get back to camp quickly before the fire burns out." Rika tilted her head in only a way she could, which to Evin always reminded him of a dog giving him a funny look before she hopped up and trailed off into the tallgrass. Chasing after her in grass that went clear over his head was not Evin's idea of fun or funny as he tried to keep up with her as each step slapped more sharp blades against his face and often came close to poking his eyes.

Finally he reaching a clearing, Evin took a moment to catch his breath, but Rika was nowhere in sight. Calling her name Evin wandered around until the grass behind him began to shake. He wasn't sure if it was her or not as he shined his light at the moving foliage, but what emerged kind of shocked him as a pile of sticks came crashing down on top of him. ~Quit shining that light in my eyes!~ came Rika's voice in his head, which even from under the stack of sticks relieved Evin's nerves.

"How in the world did you find so many sticks!?" Evin asked sounding amazed. Rika gave him a smug smile as she picked half the stack up off of him and said, ~Very quickly.~ with a hint of pride. Maneuvering the remaining sticks back into a pile, Evin picked up the rest that had fallen on him as he stood and said, "Okay, we have enough wood here to last us for about four days to a week, but we need to hurry up and get back to camp before Aqua and Spazz get any more worried than they already are. Don't go running off this time; I need you to lead me since I can't use my flashlight right now." Rika made a chuckling sound, but nodded her head that she would do as he had asked and began slowly leading the way through the thick brush of tallgrass.

***

By the time Evin and Rika made it back to camp the fire that Evin had started just before leaving was nothing but a small pile of smoldering ash that Aqua and Spazz were trying to keep from going out by throwing in little bits of dry grass and weeds on. It was a useless effort, but one that had kept them both busy until Rika emerged from the darkness beyond the campsite. Not being able to see her face, both water types reflexively shot her with torrents of water as they knocked Rika clean off her feet before a bunch of soaked sticks then came crashing down on top of her.

"Stop you two, it's us! We're back!" Evin shouted, but Rika by this time was struggling out from under the sticks with a growl of pure rage before Evin dropped his pile and arm locked her shoulders so she couldn't go after them. Both Aqua and Spazz were relieved to see them, but terrified that Rika was going to break loose from Evin's hold as they huddled in each other's arms looking at the scary sight at the edge of camp. "Come on Rika, calm down. They didn't know it was you." Evin urged, but she continued to struggle until her limbs grew heavy and the fire smoldered further out of existence as the last signs of light went out. Her fur was wet and spotted with mud by the time Evin let go, but instead of pummeling the two for shooting her and ruining the wood she had gone through so much trouble to collect, all she could do was mope while Evin used some from his stack to get a fire going again.

"Don't worry about it Rika, they'll be fine to use in a couple days. Just set them out flat on the ground so they can dry." Aqua and Spazz tiptoed around her as they helped Evin finish getting things in order since it was easy to tell that Rika was still mad just by looking at the way she glared at them and had her ears so stiffly pinned down. After getting things ready for the night and now being able to see the mud in her fur from the firelight, Evin called Rika over to him as he began rummaging through his pack.

She was hesitant at first, but after talking an extra moment to pout, she came over and sat in front of him where he had pointed. Pulling out a brush, Evin then set to brushing her from the top of her ears and worked his way all the way down to her tail. She loved every moment of it and would have blushed when he turned her around to work on her front if it hadn't been for her dark colored fur. The feel of the brush on her face was nice, but it felt exquisite as he worked it down her chest as the bristles softly caught against the nipple nubs concealed under her fur.

She was so into how great this all felt that after he had stopped she almost missed him saying, "Okay, stand up so I can get your legs." Her ears twitched as her eyes began to open before she finally grasped what he had just asked and blushed even harder as she did what he wanted and stood with her pelvis right in front of his face. She trembled and shook allover in wonderful pleasure as she felt the brush start along her thighs; naughty thoughts only inches from her mind as she felt his breath tickle her undersides while he worked.

Looking a little red in the face himself Rika thought, she watched him use the brush to get the mud out from around her groin area and beneath as he tried his hardest to make sure her pelt was restored to its former pristine shine. Naughty thoughts were very hard to keep away at this point however, since each sweep along her curves made her squirm with needful pleasure as each brush stroke left her sex feeling that much more ready for pleasure. It was hard to keep herself under control, but just as he had reached the tips of her ticklish toes he asked her to turn around again.

Thinking of him brushing her bottom made her squirm even more as she happily turned for him. She wanted him to do it. She wanted him to grab her ass and have his way with her as she continued squirming back and forth under his strokes. But it wasn't long after he had already finished with her rump that he finally complained, "Stop hitting me with your tail. It's making it hard for me to finish, with it slapping my face as you keep moving like that."

Her little world of wanting him to do naughty things to her came crashing down that very instant as she stopped moving and wagging her tail while he finished. Once he was done, Evin said, "Well your fur looks all bright shiny and clean again and it looked like you quite enjoyed that. Are you still mad at Aqua and Spazz?" In fact she had forgotten about what Aqua and Spazz had done to her up to that point, but as of now she couldn't see holding a grudge as she shook her head. She was however feeling extremely mindful and embarrassed that she had lost herself while he had been cleaning her and kept her back to everyone as she felt how wet her nether region had become.

An extreme need was burning her up from the inside out as she tried to keep her front hidden from the others for the rest of the night until they had all settled down in the tent to sleep. In the tent she ended up having to bed down with Evin cuddling up behind her in his sleeping bag while he was still fully clothed since the tent was so small. Secretly though she wished that he was out of the bag and completely naked as she squirmed and ground her bottom into his front. Since he was already asleep though, all he did was slightly groan before she caught herself doing things she knew she shouldn't.

Her ears went down; the need she was feeling was nearly unbearable as she pawed at her slit to increase the pleasure. She wanted him so bad she could hardly stand it, but at the same time she thought that he only felt that way towards Dawn since they were both human even if he had been overcome by his embarrassment. Her pawing continued, and before long she was squirming and panting with silent moans as her paw slowly became saturated with her own juices.

She was being naughty and knew it, but felt that she had to do something about the need that was burning within her before she resorted to her most desperate desire of ripping Evin's cloths off and taking him for her own. She started humping back and forth and drooling as desire overflowed; it was too much for her to hold back as she stuff her free paw in her mouth and began convulsing while Evin began snoring behind her as he had turned to his back.

Slowly, Rika's breathing returned to normal as her body relaxed from her release before she removed her paw from her mouth where her teeth had left four small holes in her flesh. Licking the blood off, she finally started to regain her senses as she then felt how wet her groin and legs had become. She sat up feeling sullied and strained her eyes to see the mess she had made of her area just outside Evin's sleeping bag.

Her paws were soaked with both drool and her own sexual fluid and her furry thighs were beginning to soak up the rest. Thinking back to when Evin had cleaned up a wet spill before, she quickly crawled over to his backpack and tried to open it. Having paws instead of hands would have already made her task difficult, but with them being so wet still she had but one option and she began licking them dry.

Her own fluids weren't her favorite idea of a midnight snack, but she made the extra effort to finish quickly since she could feel more coldly running down her legs. Once her paws were relatively dry and no longer sticky she finally put both paws together as she got hold of one of the zippers and pulled it open. Looking inside she then fumbled around until she found what she was looking for and brought out a roll of paper hand towels.

First she started by cleaning herself up where she was, but then moved back to her area and finished there. She had used up a fair number of towels by the time she was finished and quickly exited the tent whilst holding all of the used paper. Outside she quickly tossed the sullied paper into the dying fire before then grabbing a few more pieces of wood and tossing them in too. She still felt too ill-at-ease to settle herself down enough to go back to sleep, so she left the camp and proceeded through the tallgrass.

***

By morning, Evin awoke to something missing. At first he squinted his eyes and looked around as he tried to remember, but it wasn't until Aqua and Spazz yawned beside him that he looked over to where Rika had been and found her missing. Bursting out of the tent and looking all around Evin called Rika's name. No reply came and nothing moved. Worried, he went running through the tallgrass where he and Rika had emerged from last night and found her in a small clearing on the other side sitting in a meditative stance.

Immediately relieved, Evin walked up to her expecting her to either jump up and surprise him or just open her eyes and greet him, but once he was up next to her he heard snoring. His eye twitched as he thought, (Yeah... I should have expected this more so than the other two things.) Sighing as he picked her up, he carried her back to camp and put her to bed inside the tent while Aqua and Spazz busied themselves with finding a nearby water source.

Making some instant coffee with the water that had still been left in his canteen, Evin took a long gulp before taking a moment to wonder what kind of reaction he'd get from Rika if he gave her some. He imagined her running around knocking down one tree after another and other things along those lines of over active hyper energy. He shook his head trying to forget the images; he was much more comfortable with her being a bit on the tired side instead of having caffeine dumped into her system.

Yawning one last time, Evin stood and stretched his entire body before starting his morning exercises. A few minutes passed and the sound of Evin's morning exertions eventually awoke Rika from her sleepy slumber. She yawned loudly as she exited the tent and then proceeded to watch Evin exercise before stretching her own cramped muscles. Looking around, she felt almost awestruck that it was only her and him in the camp since she was always used to there being others around.

She liked the thought of it just being him and her together on a journey, but her awe of the moment was quickly cut off just then as Aqua and Spazz came running from the northwest perimeter of the camp sounding very excited. Aqua bounced around holding something in one of her paws before handing it to Evin who just had a perplexed look on his face. At first he though she had just handed him a piece of muddy stone, but when he turned it over he saw something shine in the sunlight past all the hardened dirt and grime.

Taking a moment to carefully clean the built up dirt from the object, Aqua and the others watched him intently. Eventually Evin found himself absorbed in the task of figuring out what the object was and sat down as the little pieces of dirt that slowly fell away. Slowly Evin began to make out the shape of a mini disc no larger than an sd-card and before long after that the rest of the dirt simply fell away to fully reveal the tiny disc. Evin had no idea what was on it, but after Aqua pulled his pokedex out he got the feeling she had seen one of these before.

Looking the mini disc over for any leftover debris or scratches and finding none, he then looked at the dex and found a slot about the same size as the disc. Having taken all the precautions he could, he shrugged before using his thumb to slide the disc in. A download bar appeared on the screen and after a moment a button appeared asking if he wanted to open the application. Evin grimaced a moment as the thought of a virus crossed his mind, but he'd already come this far so he pushed the "yes" button.

The screen went blank, and for a moment Evin thought he had fried his electronic passport and meal ticket in one reckless go, but then he heard a "Ding" as the screen came back on as it then read, "Training material, TM 79 dark pulse, ready for subject knowledge interface." Evin was somewhat baffled for that moment as the screen then flashed a bunch of statistics, since the thought of TMs had totally skipped his mind up until now.

Rika walked up and sniffed as she then asked, "What is it?" Looking up at her he then replied, "It's a program for teaching new moves, but I had never given any thought to how I could use one, much less who on." Chiming in as if on que, the pokedex began in the usual computer voice, "TMs are relatively easy to use for qualified devoted trainers as the instructions will walk the trainer and pokemon through each step of the process... Reading off current compatible members within your stored and in use pokemon. Lucario. Starting scan diagnostic to confirm proper statistics for using energy moves vs physical."

Suddenly light flashed out as the dex scanned Rika's form causing her to jump back in alarm. "Diagnostic complete, subject acceptable for this TM as stats for using energy based abilities are shown to be slightly higher than physical power." Rika felt offended that the little machine had called her physical power weak, but Evin looked over to her and said, "No need to be angry, this is a good thing anyway, I prefer having you use energy moves like aura sphere over getting up close and personal."

Rika huffed, ~But I like up close and personal, I like beating things senseless with my bare paws.~ Evin had an exasperated look along with a slight smirk as he said, "Yeah, I know you do, but I think that is also where you end up getting over-excited and carried away when your opponent is fast enough to dodge and counter you. Still it did say that there was only a slight difference in power, so you will still get your chances for satisfaction. That all aside, this is freakin cool that this things seems to tell us everything we need to know with voice command."

Looking up from the dex again, Evin then asked, "Do you want to learn this one?" Rika walked back up to him and asked, ~A dark type move?~ Evin nodded before he said, "From what I know of it it is a pretty good one, especially if you are facing psychic types or ghosts. It doesn't necessarily match what we are up against currently, but it is still a strong move that few people will expect you to have." Rika tilted her head to and fro as she mulled the idea over, but what seemed to intrigue her the most was the prospects of getting to spend more time training with Evin. Nodding her consent she did a jubilant bounce as Evin then finished punching in the decision they made.

The big day of their first day of training ensued quickly after that; Aqua and Spazz left to find a suitable water source again, while Evin and Rika took turns switching from learning her new abilities to sparing in all out physical strength. Fighting at his normal strength Evin wasn't really able to hold his own in terms of raw power, since whenever they were reduced to wrestling for a victor he would often lose. But in terms of martial arts and strategy Evin had the upper-hand as he tried to teach her everything he had learned from his years of training and practice in his own world.

In an all-out fight as he was, Evin knew that he could never beat her, since as a pokemon her stamina and speed alone kept trumping and outstripping him of any tactical advantages he could manage to gain as her opponent. He liked that she was so strong and still learning how to use new fighting techniques, but he was also getting tired of being the only one getting beat over and over while her ego got bigger with every victory. So after their last bout that night, with her as the victor again and also feeling confident enough that she had learned dark pulse and everything else he had shown her to a competent level, Evin finally stated that tomorrow they would focus more on drawing out his own powers.

"Your constant winning is starting to get a bit too repetitive," Evin said a bit crestfallen, "If it wasn't for the only ability that I have figured out how to use I would have been hamburger by now with all the bruises and cuts you gave me today. Which is why, starting tomorrow, you will be helping me train to use the rest of my powers and remove the block keeping my other powers contained." Rika looked like she was too excited to pay attention as she was still bouncing around like a hyper four-year-old, but she did manage to reply, ~I've been waiting for that too, since I'm still curious about what else you can do.~ Evin didn't know how she could have even listened to him, much less replied to what he had said while she was running and jumping all around the outskirts of the camp area the way she was and exasperatedly sighed.

Keeping up with her constantly overflowing energy was always hard, but right now it was impossible. He tried to think of a way to put her extra energy to good use and the idea finally came to him. "Hey Rika." ~What?~ she replied. "Want to go swimming? I'm sure Aqua and Spazz have found a place to swim by now and since we are all sweaty maybe we should go join them." For the moment Rika stopped moving as she considered his question, ~But what if they are... you know, romancing each other and doing...~ she didn't bother to continue.

Evin gulped for a moment as that part hadn't crossed his mind until just then before he said, "Well if they are doing that sort of stuff and if it's at a river, then we can just get in a little up stream." He finished with a blush. Agreeing to go together, Rika lead the way since she was able to sense exactly where the two water types were at in the dying sunlight just before it got completely dark.

Upon arriving at a wide but slow moving river they found the two water types resting on the shore. It was kind of obvious that they had been at it again recently just as Rika had pointed out back at camp, but as it was they were enjoying a good long rest after their last bouts of friskiness. Taking off his shoes and socks, Evin tested the water with his foot to find that the water was oddly warm and said, "Well it's a pleasant surprise that river water like this is warm, but that only really makes me wonder why." Rika tilted her head questioningly and Evin quickly said, "Oh forget it! The water's warm go for it." With that, Rika dashed by him at inhuman speed and rocket launched herself into the air to fly nearly half way across the river before she balled up and did the best impression of a cannonball Evin had ever seen.

Laughing at how unbelievable that was, Evin took the rest of his clothes off and waded in; the water was very warm but cool enough to still be refreshing as he guessed that the water must have come from some sort of volcanic water source or hot spring. He had never heard of a volcanic water river before so he hoped that the heat source was at least a few miles away and not directly below his feet. Rika had spotted him getting in naked and with devilishly playful curiosity she swam back to where he was and before Evin could react she tackled him.

Evin's idea of going in naked was to keep his cloths dry, but he couldn't deny that being naked while swimming and playing also felt good as he and she then began roughhousing and splashing each other like children. The rough and tumble watery fun lasted for about an hour before Evin finally said that it was time for bed and left the water to put his cloths back on. Shaking off the water about the same way Rika would, Evin was dressed again in seconds before Rika came out and deliberately stood next to him and shook herself. "AKE! Rika! I was trying to keep my cloths dry so I could sleep in them!"

Rika just giggled and to that all Evin could do was grumble as they returned to camp and got a fire started. Put out that his cloths were actually very wet in places, Evin strung two sticks together by the fire to make a makeshift cloths line and hung all but his boxer underwear and then continued onto making dinner. Rika at that moment however was put out in a different way since she didn't succeed in making it to where he needed to take it all off when she quite liked seeing him running around naked.

Once again she caught herself thinking naughty thoughts, thoughts that were driving her nether region haywire as she could once again feel a familiar non water related dampness building up between her legs. Questioning herself, she wondered if it was normal for her kind to have such attractions towards humans as the idea of getting Evin to mate with her caused her to feel embarrassed for a moment. Evin looked up from the food he was cooking wondering why she had suddenly begun rocking back and forth, but from the masked look she made before she looked away from him he decided that it was just her over abundant energy acting up again and went back to what he was doing.

They ate dinner in awkward silence, as no one was sure what to say while Aqua and Spazz continued whispering to one another the way they usually did when they weren't making better use of their time. It was only a short while after that before they all began yawning and moved to go to bed. Inside the tent, sleeping quarters were beginning to seem a bit cramped now that Rika was about the same size as Evin and given her sharp chest and paw spikes things could get a little dangerous if she ever rolled over in her sleep. It was a problem that he felt needed to be rectified the next time he was in town so they weren't almost sleeping on top of each other, which for him would eliminate his other problem of feeling embarrassed as he slid in behind her.

Like before Rika liked the feeling of having him so close behind her as she once again ground her furry behind against him and giggled when she felt him tens up. Evin thought she was teasing him, as he was already a bit on edge from swimming with her a while ago as an erection that had started when they were playing had never died-down. Now in the tent with her in front of him, he could feel her soft furred rear rubbing against the fabric of his sleeping-bag right where his erection was. He didn't exactly want to do anything with her, but the feeling was still enough to stoke his pubescent urges into getting him very hard and feeling a bit restless as the rubbing continued late into the night. He felt a little vexed as this continued, as the pleasure was never enough to fulfill his needs but also felt nice enough to not make her stop.

***

The next morning Evin woke feeling a bit tired along with also having a ruthlessly hard erection tenting his boxers. It was a mortifying thought to have any of the others see him like this, but nature was calling in the worst way and he needed to answer. Getting out of bed proved to be easier than he expected, but even after relieving himself the raging boner he had didn't seem to want to go away and was easy to spot through his tented boxers. Putting on his cloths before the others came out of the tent he then busied himself picking up the camp and telling the others that they were moving camp closer to the water so that Aqua and Spazz were nearby. Walking as he was however, was a little problematic as the movement caused him to chafe a bit, which also made walking normal a bit hard as he tried to keep from drawing attention.

Rika in the meantime, could tell that something was a bit off about him today and while she was concerned she made no effort to approach him on it as she carried her rather large over grown pile of sticks that she had added to since the other night. Her primary concern today was what kind of powers she would help Evin discover, as she imagined him looking like a scary bad-ass shooting lasers out of his eyes or him being able to forcefully subdue her with inhuman strength like he had nearly done once before to some thugs.

The camp was set back up in minutes by some rocks near the water once they had gotten close to the river. They were now very far from the beaten path, so Evin had absolutely no doubts that they would be left completely alone without drawing any attention if things got loud. During all the chafing and work while setting the camp back up his erection had finally defused itself and no longer bothered him before he walked over to Rika and said, "Oaky, I think it's time that we begin and by that I do mean removing the mental blocks you have on me."

Rika hopped foot to foot as she excitedly prepared to do as he asked before she held her paws out over her head as if she would put her arms around his head. Evin stepped forward until his head was in between her paws and with a dizzying rush he felt his senses expand to all corners of the clearing and beyond. He noticed that the range had grown while being suppressed and that it felt stronger than before. ~How do you feel?~ Rika asked, Evin looked up a little dazed as he said, "Dizzy mostly; it's gotten more powerful since the last time I was able to sense things like this."

~No real surprise there, it was still developing when I evolved and blocked it.~ Evin tried to focus and rein in his outstretched senses which was a difficult task even with Rika's pointers and help. Within a few hours and with a lot of help from Rika feeding him information on how she managed her own mental powers, Evin finally figured out how to bring his own wandering senses to stay close to him or stay focused on only one thing; thereby also figuring out how to alter his own fighting strength.

By being able to control his body at a different level than normal, he was able to temporarily remove the natural safeguards that kept his muscles from injuring themselves and exert extreme amounts of speed and strength. But it was only after a few sparing sessions with Rika that Evin realized that the skill was double edged. Every time he moved at an accelerated rate or hit harder than normally possible he'd feel an after math of pain all the way into his bones that could only be remedied by healing himself. Putting up with pain was becoming old hat though and though the pain from the movements hurt quite a bit afterwards, it was still nothing in comparison to some other pains he had endured.

Training continued as such for the rest of the day now that he knew a bit more about how to put his powers to use, as he could now keep Rika on her toes now that he could win against her in a brawl. When evening came, they once again frolicked and played in the river as they had done the day before, which for them both felt like a great way to end a hot sweaty day of ceaseless training before Evin even decided that it was a good time to wash his cloths. To that end his cloths were not holding up well to the abuse of his training sessions, as there were yet a few more rips and tears in both his pants and shirt as he thought that if he wasn't careful, he'd end up having to walk into town looking like a worn down hobo.

The thought caused him to smirk, since it was kind of true and very sad that he had no home to return to. Once again he wondered how his family back home was coping without him; it had been long enough now that he hoped his dad had called off the search, though he knew otherwise since his dad was a bit relentless. He longed to be home again and wished for them not mourn his supposed death, which for him was still a controversial issue in the regard that he still wasn't sure if everything that had happened to him so far was real or not.

Pushing the thought aside once again, Evin continued washing the clothing in his hands while Rika played further out in the middle of the river with the two water types. Aqua and Spazz for the first time in a long while had joined Rika for some good-old-fashioned water time fun, since it had been a long time since all three of them had shared any social time. In the water Rika was at a huge disadvantage as she tried to catch the playful duet while they could easy swim right between her legs to get behind her at a moment's notice. It frustrated Rika that no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't catch either one of the slippery mons that kept laughing at her, which eventually led her back to thinking that Evin was a much better choice of targets.

Diving beneath the water she swam towards him like a shark as he looked completely oblivious to his surroundings while washing his human coverings. A wide smirk stretched along her face to give her a devilish look as she got within range. Then as she shot out of the water at him happily saying ~Got you!~ she then realized with surprise that she had totally missed her target and sailed right by him into a muddy patch on the riverbank with a (Splat!). Evin and the others all busted up laughing as Rika lay still for a surprised moment, then peeling herself out off the ground the others could hear the audible suction of the mud holding on to her like tape being pulled off of something. There was no end to her humiliation, as then the others finally got a good look at her as she turned around and began laughing even harder.

Half her face and her entire front side were completely caked with dark brown mud and the surprise and embarrassment distorting her face was priceless as she then asked, ~How did you know?~ his answer to her question was slow in coming, but then, "My mind isn't blocked like before, remember? Even with my meager amount of control over that ability now it wasn't hard to sense that you were about to pounce me and all I really had to do was step to the side when you launched." Her face still shown complete befuddlement, but now that it was all over she was beginning to turn angry from all the laughing still coming from out in the water and barked,

<You two better zip it before I make you!> Evin didn't understand what she had just said, but Aqua and Spazz just roared with more laughter since her threat didn't seem to carry on account of her half mud smeared face and body. Growling, Rika powered up an aura sphere and launched it, but just as it was approaching both water types dived down where it then tried to follow but then quickly defused. Angrily firing one after the other while the otter and weasel continued laughing at her as they popped back up after each shot, Rika lost herself in a fit of rage before Evin stormed out of the water and smacked her as he said, "Stop! You do not attack friends or family out of anger!"

For a moment Rika was dazed. The slap across the face didn't hurt much, but coming from him was as effective as having the wind knocked out of her as she completely froze up in shock. A moment passed before she finally lifted a paw to rub her cheek and realized what she had done before tears started to dribble down her face as she shook in place from the adrenalin. Evin wasn't sure how he should handle this since he was still naked and still a bit peeved over her losing her cool over such a meaningless encounter.

Putting his hands on her shoulders he said, "You need to learn to just let it go. Some fights are just not worth fighting and when friends and family are involved you should never hit or attack them out of anger." Rika wiped at her closed eyes and nodded. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up to get ready for bed; it's been a long day and tomorrow will most likely be longer." Rika's ears perked up as she asked, ~Why?~ Evin smiled, "Because you're going to show me exactly how you use aura sphere and that's because I believe I might be able to copy it."

Rika sniffed one last time as she then smiled and nodded, "But first we need to get this mud off your face since it makes you look like a clown." Once again Rika would have blushed if she could and with him holding her shoulders he walked her back into the water and helped her wash the mud off. Dinner was once again very quiet and uneventful as Evin's cloths hung near the fire to dry and being that her earlier disciplining from Evin had killed her naughty thoughts and mood for the night, sleep came easy to everyone.

***

When morning came, Evin yawned as he said, "Okay everyone, time to get up." Aqua and Spazz just made little groaning sounds as they covered their faces from wanting to sleep-in, but Rika was up and ready to get her day started in only a moment's time as she exited the tent before Evin. It was easy to tell that she was excited, as she had almost totally forgotten about breakfast while beginning her stretching exercises. Aqua and Spazz were about as lively as logs and never left the tent, but since they weren't directly involved in today's training Evin decided to let them rest a bit longer as he quickly finished his snack bar breakfast and shortly after joined Rika in stretching.

Stretched and ready to go, Evin asked how to begin. Rika had spent part of her night thinking about how she would explain instructions on how to tap spirit energy to give it physical form, but like everything it was never as simple as it seemed. It took Evin nearly three hours to master drawing the energy to his palms and another four to conjure an actual sphere. By this time nearly half the day had passed and still his spheres were nowhere near as powerful as Rika's, since his could only do about a third of the damage as hers. Though still imperfect, they wondered if his current power was all that he was capable of as he poured all his strength into one sphere after another. At this point Rika decided that it would be best to backtrack a bit to learn more about the sensory side of aura power since it directly affected an aura sphere's ability to lock on targets.

Sensory training had been going well as Aqua and Spazz lazily dragged themselves to the edge of the tent entrance to watch them, but they had only got about an hour into practicing this exercise before both Evin and Rika detected people nearby. From the feel of the aura Evin asked, "Are they good or bad, something about it feels creepy, but I'm not sure?" Rika's eyes were closed as she replied; ~They are most definitely bad. They reek of malice and greed as not even one of them including their pokemon show signs of good.~ It took Evin all but a moment to then ask, "Do they know we are here?" Rika took a step back, ~Yes!~

Running over to his things at the tent, Evin put on his belt with the pokeballs and returned Aqua and Spazz to theirs before scrambling to pack his things. Rika flattened the tent easily enough, but just as she began folding the material, "Well well well, what do we have here?" came a man's dulled voice of only half the distance of a football field away. Evin abruptly turned to the five men and as he saw the big red R on each one's shirt he quickly said under his breath, "Rika use aura sphere on them!" knowing that he and she needed to score at least a small tactical advantage since they were so outnumbered.

Firing a sphere faster than the men could react since she had been pre-prepared to fire all along, the men tried to jump out of the way, but for the one farthest to the left his fate had been sealed as the sphere swerved right at him to hit him squarely in the chest. The man yelled in agony as he was then blown back into the tallgrass, sensing the danger that Rika posed, the others then called forth the combined might of their small army.

"You better leave if you know what's good for you." came Evin's retort to what the lead man said earlier. The four remaining Rockets all looked at each other, then back at Evin and Rika before then busting up laughing as their leader said, "You've got balls kid, but I think you're a bit out of your league trying to take us on." Evin glanced at Rika, "Don't quit firing aura spheres, keep them all at range for as long as possible while trying to support me." Looking franticly worried Rika asked, ~Support, why?! Are you rushing in?!~

Evin's only response was, "Yes!" before he shot off at inhuman speed catching the Rockets off-guard as he was suddenly upon them. The men's expressions of smug confidence and giggles immediately changed to that of fear and anger as Evin drew his knife and slashed at them while another one of their number had his number punched when an aura sphere nailed him like the last person. As before this once again sent another one crashing through the tallgrass injured and out of the fight, but this was little cause for celebration as the pokemon army now moved on the offensive and began attacking.

The onix and geodudes went down in seconds along with a few mightyena and houndour thanks to Rika's quick aura sphere firing, but with her energy wearing down the remaining steelix, skarmory, blastoise, houndoom, and golbat were more than she bargained for as she dodged a hyper beam. Evin in this time had slashed up the lead member's arms pretty bad trying to get the man to call off the attack as he kept repeating "Leave!" trying to make them take the hint. But either by sheer dumb stubbornness or determination the men never tried to retreat as one called the steelix over to defend them. Evin knew his knife was useless against such a large heavy steel type and jumped out of the way as its two ton iron tail came smashing down right where he had been.

Backing off from the group momentarily, Evin back flipped over a blast of water that had come his direction and shot off in a zigzag strait at the blastoise that had shot at him. Sweat flew from his body with every exertion and the pain from muscles, bones, and joints throbbed in unison as he passed right between the blastoise's legs from behind and sunk his knife in at the knee joint of one leg. Being such a heavy pokemon the blastoise's leg crumpled an instant later as water then quickly erupted from both of the hydro canons on its shell and nailed the houndoom while it howled in pain.

Once again Evin rushed in for the men still barking orders at the remaining pokemon, to which the steelix then blocked Evin's path for only a moment before he dashed by. Feeling the strain on his body reaching a painful peak, Evin hoped there wasn't a limit to how much he could keep exerting himself, but then it was as if that very thought caused him to lose it as every muscle in his body locked up before he fell skidding across the ground. Steelix, Golbat, and Skarmory converged on Rika right then and while she was able to dodge most of their attacks she was also able to land a few heavy blows on the steel types. Ultimately however it was the golbat's screeching attacks that had begun to get the best of her, as her ears began to bleed. Finally even she could take no more and began holding her ears before taking a brutal blow from the steelix's tail.

Locked up and laying face flat on the ground, Evin heard the men laughing as well as Rika's pained yelp as she was bashed aside by the giant steel snake. He tried to force his body to move, but all he succeeded in doing was causing himself to yell out in pain as he could barely manage a twitch. Knowing that Rika's fight was going bad and that his own situation didn't look much better, he then did the only thing he knew he could do as he began healing. Slowly the scratches on his face began to fade along with the paralyzing pain of his locked muscles while Rika's frantic fight continued.

The Rockets quickly took notice that Evin was recovering and though he couldn't believe his eyes, the lead man and the others called back all their pokemon except the steelix and used smoke bombs to cover their escape as their leader called out, "Finish it off Steelix, then meet us at the designated area!" Dread gripped Evin's chest as he franticly tried to free his body from being completely locked up. Horrible pain swept through his body as he tried to move again, but then just as he had finally freed his upper torso he saw that the steelix had Rika tightly coiled held up in the air. Still trying to free the rest of his body it finally dawned on him why it was holding her that way as it then brought its head low and very close to her as it began to gather power for a pointblank fatal hyper beam on her battered form.

Finally having worked the last muscles free, time seemed to stop as Evin rushed forward. His knife dropped from his hand and the world was a blur around him as his hands moved on their own accord as all of his attention focused in on one thing. Everything seemed like it was moving in extreme slow motion just as the steelix's powered up attack looked like it was about to fire, but just in that fraction of time Rika flew out of the snake's grasped coils faster than a lightning strike.

Surprise briefly crossed the steelix's face in the next millisecond that came before Evin's arms jut out in front of him as he near automatically released a massively powerful aura sphere at great speed. Traveling through the air at such high speed, Evin heard a loud bang as the bright orb broke the sound barrier just as his own body began to collapse from extreme exhaustion. With the overpowered attack still waiting to be fired from its mouth, the steelix's eyes went wide as the massive aura sphere made contact and exploded.

Before even a thought of anything could cross its mind the massive explosion thereafter flattened everything in the clearing. The tallgrass near the point of impact was on fire along with a few other nearby areas, but all Evin could see of the main blast sight was a massive smoking hole in the ground. Everything seamed to be shaking all around him as Evin attempted to move, but it was only then that he realized that he and Rika had been knocked back into their old campsite and were feeling the after effects of the powerful concussion from the explosion.

They lay unmoving but still alive as both breathed hard to catch their breaths while the crater of the explosion smoldered. Singe marks speckled Rika's fur and Evin's clothing as they lay there resting since Evin felt like he had a whale laying on him. Trying to heal himself at this point was a tiresome task in itself before he released Aqua and Spazz from their balls. Seeing their trainer and Rika so badly injured and burned, they began to panic, but Evin stated what they needed to do since the danger was gone. So helping both him and Rika sit up straight against a rock, the two water pokemon then tended to their burns before then running around putting out fires that were starting to catch beyond the explosion area.

Either because he didn't have enough energy left to heal himself or because his body had just taken so much abuse that he couldn't heal Evin still ached allover as he tried to stand up. He would have preferred to stay on the ground a bit longer, but seeing Rika's bleeding ears and nose along with an assortment of cuts tainting her fur crimson spurred his efforts before he momentarily walked to the crater left from the explosion. The dip in the crater was twenty-five feet in diameter and had affected a much larger area than that and at the bottom he could see the headless mutilated body of the steelix still writhing.

The smell was nauseating and the site more so as he had trouble controlling his bile. Turning away he noticed something different about Rika; not only had she fallen unconscious but he now saw that her chest spike had been roughly broken off well past her fur-line. Evin was still in shock from the entire situation, but had enough sense to quickly recall Rika to her ball and finish packing him camp supplies and gear.

Recalling Aqua and Spazz to their balls as well, Evin picked up his knife and unfolded the bike he'd gotten and taking one last good look around Evin then road off. Getting through the thick brush and trees ended up requiring Evin to repack the bike, but once he had finally cleared the trees and tall brush as he made it to the road he was able to blast down the trail at high speed until Striaton City came into view just as night began to fall.

The bike ride back to the city had proven to be quite strenuous as Evin had put all of his strength into hastening his return and now as his overused muscles began to cramp up and scream with pain he finally arrived at the police station to report what had happened. Feeling shaky on his feet after alerting the authorities of what had happened, Evin made his way over to the pokemon center as quickly as he could and set Rika's ball on the desk as he franticly asked for help.

Nurse Joy was in shock at seeing him return to her center in this condition and asked him what happened worriedly as she saw how beat up he looked after just leaving a few days before. Evin once again recounted the story of how they were attacked, just as he had with the police and of course didn't say anything about his own powers as he also described Rika's injuries.

Joy immediately snatched up the ball and motioned for him to come around the desk. Doing as she wanted while feeling a bit dazed, he followed her to the backroom where Joy then released Rika from her ball to begin examining her. "You both took on five men from Team Rocket all at once?" Evin nodded before she then continued, "You're the lucky ones; most male trainers come back completely robbed of their pokemon and items or not at all since Team Rocket has become very dangerous of late. They are fighting against team Plasma in this region and are fighting with other organizations in many other regions besides this one for dominance right now.

You're also lucky that her spike didn't break any further down since if it had, it could have most likely killed her. You need to be more careful with your pokemon. I don't want her in any serious fights until she's better, so that means lots of rest and no excitement for at least the next week. The break will mend, but it will take years to grow back, though what you can do is have the rest of her spike sanded down and flattened if you wish, so that it doesn't cause any unwanted inconveniences as it begins to grow back."

Rika had begun to regain consciousness as Nurse Joy finished telling Evin about being able to sand something down. She wasn't sure what it was about, but she was primarily relieved to be back at the pokemon center. Evin told her what Joy had told him while Nurse Joy tended to her cuts and checked her ears. Both Rika and Evin liked the thought of keeping her spike sanded down, as it also eliminated Rika's hugging problem as they then wondered how this would change things. Switching from Rika to Evin in her exam of the two, Joy then had Evin remove his shirt since she could clearly see the burn marks, but what she saw didn't make a lot of sense as she asked, "You were hit by the same explosion weren't you?"

Evin nodded and said, "I know it looks bad on the outside, but I somehow managed to escape with my skin intact, I'm just very worn out to the point that I feel like I could faint at any moment." Nurse Joy regarded him with a momentary weird look, but didn't press him for more information as she began checking the other burnt places thinking that there had to be something on account of how bad all the burn holes looked and the severity of Rika's burns. Finished looking for injuries as she checked the last hole, Nurse Joy requested to see his pokedex before she said, "I'm not sure how you got away without burns, scratches, or bruises, but other than you being a little pale now that you've rested a bit, you are the picture of health."

Joy seemed suspicious as she then continued, "For her to be in such bad shape while you don't have a single scratch to show for the story you just told, tells me that you either lied about the entire thing or are purposely leaving certain elements of the story out. It's a known fact that not all trainers show their pokemon enough respect, so which is it? Was it all a lie, are you using your pokemon as a shield in battles, or is there some kind of critical secret that forced you to keep certain details untold?" She waited impatiently as Evin wracked his brain for a solution, "It's not an issue that can be simply let go and swept under the carpet, so what is it?" Nurse Joy interrogated.

Rika looked to Evin as she knew that he wanted to keep it all a secret, but she could hardly stand listening to the nurse grill him for answers as she kept a suspicious eye on him along with his pokedex in hand. Then just as she was about to spill the beans for him and tell the nurse herself the phone began to ring. Still keeping an eye on Evin as she called a chancy in to make sure he couldn't leave, Nurse Joy answered the phone and was surprised to see the professor appear on the screen.

"Hello Nurse Joy, it's been a while." She said in a familiar friendly tone, "I just received a call from the police station that one of my trainers had been attacked near wellspring cave and had returned to Striaton City, is he by any chance there with you?" Joy glanced back at Evin before regarding the screen, "He is, but I'm in the middle of interrogating him since his story didn't quite add up to the injuries he and his pokemon sustained." Sounding worried, Professor Juniper asked, "Is he okay?"

Joy looked a little unsure for a moment, "Yes he is, but that is also the issue. His pokemon is cut up, burned and nearly died from having her chest spike broken near the critical point and while his cloths are burned in places as well there isn't a scratch, burn, or even a bruise on him. The situation coupled with the evidence looked and sounded too strange to believe that it was all coincidence, which led me to believe that he might be using her in unconventional pokemon battles and inventing wild stories to cover it."

Juniper had trouble not smiling as she then said, "Normally, that would have been a very well thought up suspicion for all the right reasons, but unfortunately or rather fortunately that isn't the case with him. He is part of my special case division and I can personally vouch that he doesn't mistreat his companions. On the flip side to all of this, I would like you to listen in on what I have to say to him so you can give him a more detailed checkup." Looking up from the screen with a still somewhat skeptical uncertainty, Joy asked for Evin to come join her at the phone.

The first thing said was, "Evin, you look terrible." Evin looked at the state of his attire before he said, "Yeah, well it's no surprise since I've been sparring with Rika for about three days and then survived an explosion." Juniper chuckled, "Well fashion statement aside, I'm glad you made it out okay, though I am a little worried about Rika's injuries. From the sound of things it's a miracle that you made it back at all if you were confronted by five members of Team Rocket all on your own." Rubbing a hand down his face Evin said sounding very worn out, "Ahh, don't remind me, I ended up overusing some newly acquired skills in all of that mess and it nearly cost Rika her life when I couldn't move."

Juniper's expression sobered a bit, "Hmm, still, it's quite impressive that you managed as well as you did; tell me about these new skills of yours." Evin glanced between the screen and Nurse Joy questioningly before Juniper said, "Cat's already out of the bag and I want her to know the extent of your powers so that she can get a good assessment of you and the progression you've made since your last check-in." Evin sighed as yet another person learned some of his secrets as he then held up his palm to form an aura sphere and presented it to the screen.

"Okay, nice." Came the professor's reply, "You seem to have mastered a way to focus your aura much like a lucario, but I'm guessing that isn't all you learned while training with Rika?" Though tired, Evin had a bit of a miffed look as he then replied, "Just short of three days isn't a whole lot of time to work with in terms of discovering and harnessing new powers; I had just scratched the surface of how the aura sphere worked when we got attacked, but yes, I did learn a couple other things as well.

Rika taught me how to sense the life-force and feelings of other living things with aura and also helped me find a way to rein in my wayward psychic powers so that I can somewhat control them now. I'm not sure how to move stuff with them yet even though I did use them to grab Rika once in our fight, but hey, three days of beating around the bushes trying to figure stuff out before getting attacked, I think I've done pretty good. The other skill that I've somewhat got the hang of is how to release the normal limitations of my muscles to move faster or hit harder, but the draw back is that it can leave me totally immobilized when over used."

Nurse Joy in this time listened with festination as she never quite grasped all the details, but was all the same intrigued before she finally asked, "So how is it that you got back here without a scratch?" Juniper and Evin both looked at her before Evin said, "Self-healing; it was the first power I acquired and either by focusing to very quickly heal my wounds or by just letting it heal me slowly it seems to return me back to perfect physical condition." Joy looked like she was going to ask how so Evin beat her to it and said, "Don't bother asking how, even the professor and I are not sure how it works."

"The story behind his powers is a rather long one," The Professor started, "but we don't have the time to tell you it right now as this attack also makes me worry about the other trainer of mine out in the field nearby. From what I've seen of her pokedex signal she hasn't even checked into the Nacrene center yet and with this new development I want her to either pair up with Evin again or brought back. It's simply too dangerous for a girl to be out on her own right now, even if she prefers the solitude of being with only her pokemon. The region has further destabilized and has been declared in a state of high emergency, I'd rather her be mad at me or Evin and safe than risk her safety with those animals roaming the countryside. I just hope that Evin thrashed those men bad enough to slow them down, but before all of that, I want to know his condition and I'm sure he's going to need to rest for the night."

Nurse Joy looked slightly crestfallen among other things, but knowing that she had a job that needed to be done posthaste she had Evin remove his shirt again and began her examination as if she were working on a pokemon. Humans weren't her specialty but she found his self healing to be quite spectacular after getting a blood sample and watching the small needle hole fade. Putting the sample into her analyzing equipment, she initiated a direct link to the Professor's lab and started the sequence. Machines buzzed and dinged as each set of results and differences to the Professor's earlier data came in and while this was all in progress Evin in the meantime was having trouble just staying awake as he began to sleepily drift in and out.

Rika worried over him as he caught bits of excitement from Joy and a few flat statements of intrigued discovery from Juniper, but as of that moment everything was becoming a blur. Seeing his exhaustion after getting the majority of new readings, Juniper finally spoke up to Joy and said, "I think it's time for him to go get some rest. It seems that the unrestrained use of his powers today has taken a toll and drained him. Please see to it that he and his pokemon make it to the room okay would you? And Evin," Evin's head bobbed up for a moment as he looked at the screen, "Be sure to take good care of her, lucario are very loyal and bond for life, meaning you will be hard pressed to ever find a more faithful companion." Evin nodded, but then collapsed back down on the examining table he had been laying on.

Nurse Joy cast an envious eye towards Evin as she then nodded to Juniper and then shortly after ended the call and turned off the machines. "Well you are off the hook I guess," as she gave a knowing glance at Evin, "But I want you to promise me that this wont happen to your lucario again as my earlier orders of no battles still stand." Rika picked Evin up off the table while he was still stuck in a sleepy daze and replied for him, ~As he has already said, it wasn't his fault and while I'm sure he will do everything in his power to see to my safety I will not sit by idly watching him risk his life for others or myself just because I might get injured. I accepted him as my master knowing full well all the risks and hardships that came with being beside him and I will continue risking my own safety for him until the day I die!~

Joy was shocked by Rika's outburst of heartfelt emotion in her declaration and dedication to her trainer, as it had been the first time such a thing had happened. Rika then began hobbling Evin out of the room, but when they reached the steps Nurse Joy joined them and helped her get him up the stairs. Walking down the hall was easy enough, but when they got him to the room Nurse Joy led them to Rika stated that she would take him from there.

Nodding her head as the door opened Nurse Joy then said, "Remind him in the morning to come by my desk to get his pokedex since I'll be checking him in for the night with it, and if you could, make sure he takes a shower before going to sleep." Rika happily nodded before she then huffed and lugged him into the room and slung him on the bed like a knapsack. Nurse Joy couldn't restrain a small laugh before she left to return to her desk, deciding that while Rika was indeed loyal to him that she was probably rougher on him than most bad trainers to their pokemon, as she imagined him being her living punching bag.

Back in the room, Rika let the others out of their balls before then working at peeling Evin out of his tattered sweaty garments. His shirt, shoes, and backpack had been easy enough to remove, but she had torn a small hole into a larger one on his shirt in the process. Getting his pants off however had caused her all sorts of frustration with him being barely conscious, but once off aside from his underwear he was finally completely exposed.

The others watched her as she gently she helped him up and turned away to go do their own thing as she began to wake him up with a little mind to mind pep talk saying, ~Wake up, come on we're going to take a shower before bed, but I need you to be at least half awake for this.~ The mental speech was enough to bring a little life back to him as he finally realized where they were. ~Nurse Joy has already left, but she wanted me to make sure you took a shower before bed.~ She sniffed, ~And you need it, so wake up already and come with me.~

Evin's daze turned into just being tired as Rika then led him into the bathroom while she also dumped his cloths into the washer just as she had seen him do before. As per the usual it was nice and spacious room with mini tiles all around the bathing areas and carpet around the drying and grooming area. After being on the river for as long as they had, Evin wasn't the least bit embarrassed or ashamed as he took off his last garment and added it to the others being washed before he entered the shower with Rika. Turning on the water they didn't even wait for it to warm up since part of the goal was to wake Evin up a bit more so he wouldn't fall.

It was a cold shock at first, but after only a minute it felt pleasant as he then adjusted the temp to perfection. Putting his hands into her fur, Evin began to wash the dirt and blood that been caked on in a few places off, but even as he did this his mind began to wander as thoughts of Dawn came to mind. He wondered if she was okay, or if she had been attacked as well, but as he was his mind could hardly stay in one place as yet more thoughts from the day sprang to mind. before he knew it, he found himself feeling a little uncomfortable and hesitate as his hands had been paying special attention to Rika's broken chest spike but were now resting on the soft nipple nubs of Rika's fur covered chest.

Redness colored his cheeks as Rika on the other hand was a bit out of it before she felt him stop what he was doing and now also felt where his hands were resting. But then she felt him shift as he tried to subtly move his hands away from her suddenly very sensitive breasts so that they ran through the rest of her abdominal fur as more dirt and gore washed away. She ducked her head a little as a blush warmed her face, but could tell Evin's mind had already gone else where again as he finished washing her without actually paying her much attention. But as the shower was coming to an end and before he could move away, Rika put her paws over his hands to hold them to her chest as she suddenly felt a mixture of shy boldness surface where she then said, ~Please stay with me like this, I like being this close to you.~

Evin suddenly blushed as his consciousness fully shifted back to this new situation and was about to jerk his hand free from her paws as his embarrassment instantly built up to a fever pitch. Rika however refused to let him pull away and in that moment of confusion on Evin's part she hugged him. His face turned another shade of red as he felt her entire body pressing against his and to his horror he felt himself getting an erection up between her legs. It was only then that he also realized that her nipple nubs could also be felt on his chest and that she had maneuvered him into a pinned position against the wall. He could feel the bumps of her nipples beneath her fur and could feel the fur of her waist in the palms of his hands. To Rika's displeasure though, she felt him trying to shy away from her more as he tried to break the hug, but she didn't let go.

She didn't really understand why she was doing this herself, but she felt like she couldn't bear to let him go. She put her head on his shoulder and whined as she said, ~Evin, I want to be with you, do you not want me?~ He was mortified at what she just asked and began to stutter out, "What do you mean?... Wait, you mean you really.. Want to?.. But why? Aren't we too different? Wouldn't you rather have someone more your kind? You know like another lucario?"

She once again felt bold as she replied, ~Why not you, your practically just like my kind, even if you don't look it.~ He felt her hug her lower body to him a bit firmer as the crease between her legs made itself felt even more along his upper thigh, which in turn caused his erection become that much harder from just knowing how close it was. Evin was at his wits-end by this point as he tried to resist what his body and hers wanted. He could even feel her hot emotions flowing from her as she tried to get them to enhance his own excitement and bodily need. But he still resisted and said, "Couldn't we at least try and stay as friends for now? I mean by human standards and from what I know of these things I'm still supposed to be considered to young for This kind of relationship."

Rika growled a little warning, as her wanting of him was beginning to turn to annoyance and said, ~I already know you want me, why do you resist it so bad? You make my fur itch when you look at Spazz and Aqua together, or even Dawn when she was in her nightdress. Didn't you hear the Professor? Lucario bond for life and this bond isn't anything small, it affects who we are and how we grow and is much more than a simple friendship. We are connected.~ Rika felt like she was finally cornering him on the subject and right as he said, "But you're a p.." she cut him off with a growl as she replied, ~Don't even start to finish that word!~ sounding angry, ~I don't care if we are different. I want you to be My mate.~

To Evin there was no mistaking what she wanted; a fact made all the more obvious when he felt her grind her nether region against his thigh to reinforce her implied desire. He wasn't sure that he was ready for such a personal relationship, especially with a pokemon, but feeling his erection being tickled by her fur from her insistent grinding was quickly wearing away his resistance to the idea. He shook for a moment in her arms as the wonderful sensations of her rubbing him this way, triggered small spasms of pleasure. He couldn't really see trying to deny her much more, as he was sure that he'd only succeed in pissing her off, yet while his body craved for more pleasure his mind continued fighting the idea.

Quickly his will power began to give in as he felt Rika move up him with her now very slippery nether cleft sliding along his hip. Trying not to give in to his new desires right then was the strangest kind of agony Evin had ever felt as Rika leaned back a little from her hug to stare passionately into his blue eyes with her predatory red eyes. Eyes that seemed to pierce his very soul and make him feel yet another level of closeness pass between them as he finally began to grasp what it meant to be bonded to her.

He could feel everything she did, knew her every thought, knew her every desire and as of now, everything about her revolved around him. She not only loved him to a degree that he thought was uncommon, but also wanted him to mate with her excruciatingly bad, as she waited for his consent while also wanting to feel what it was really like to be mated for the first time. It was obvious that she could hardly stop herself from making him commit the act right then and there, but she wanted him to want it as much as she did before letting loose. He could feel from her that his erection was now pressed hard against the outer folds of her sex, as she all but sat on top of it now, waiting for him to give her a sign. He could feel the feeling of exhilaration it invoked in her, which felt thrillingly great to him as well before he finally looked her in the eyes and nodded.

Evin was at a loss for words as he felt his erection quickly plunged into her depths, while Rika let out a half groaned grunt of pain as she felt her virgin sex slowly stretch around his member. She had brought herself down on him swiftly, but had yet to reach completion as yet another third of his length remained untouched while a yelp of pain wanted to escape her lips. Evin meanwhile was feeling indescribably good as his body's sexual urges for stimulation were finally being put to the test before his mind then went completely blank to all but pleasure when he felt Rika's inner muscles squeeze against his intrusion. Rika's thoughts were a series of lightning strikes of both pain and pleasure as she finally let loose a little whimper before rocking her hips forward in an attempt to get the rest of him inside her.

The squeeze on his member as she pushed him the rest of the way in felt remarkably good, but at the same time too good as he felt his entire body tense up. At first he had no idea why this was happening, but as more pleasure flooded his brain when Rika tried to move again he couldn't help but begin to grasp what it meant as his body nearly froze up completely with tingling pleasure jolting thought him. He already felt like he was nearly out of breath, yet he knew he hadn't moved a muscle since before this began as every molecule of the surface of his body especially around his groin and tightening scrotum seemed to send him even more pleasure. Suddenly he was aware of an unknown pressure that he'd never felt before building to his erection. despratly he held on as he wasn't entirely sure what it was, but at that moment Rika didn't giving him much choice of where it was going as she suddenly took him in to the hilt as she completely pressed down on him.

Rika let out a pleasured growl of satisfaction, but then gasped as she felt something hot begin spurting into her. She whined with satisfaction and shook with even more pleasure as she then grasped what had happened. Quickly her own pleasure peaked as she took each spurt of his seamen inside her as a symbol of how powerful his love for her was as he couldn't seem to stop himself.

Evin felt locked up as each surge of liquid heat shot up into the one holding him down, before he then reversed Rika's hug hold on him by powerfully hugging her back and making them fall to the floor with a (Splat!) as water splashed all around. Still he came and still she whined and whimpered with the unrestrained pleasure of her own orgasm as Evin finally began to run dry.

Warm water rained down on them, but something even warmer now connected them as Evin finally kissed Rika passionately on the lips. Surprised, Rika hesitated before returning the favor, but wasn't necessarily satisfied with a normal kiss with puckered lips. Kissing with tongue had never been within Evin's experience circle, but somehow kissing with just the lips didn't seem like quite enough either as the moment began to pass. Still feeling not quite right, Rika then licked Evin squarely on the lips which in turn caused him to give her a shocked look before he playfully did the same back.

The taste Evin thought was less than desirable but the sensation was invigorating as they began licking instead of kissing and before long found a happy medium between the two as they touched tongues with interlocked mouths. Still buried to the hilt within her, somehow this kind of kissing felt right as he began to move back and forth, beginning to pull out before pushing back in. Rika moaned into their kiss and squirmed beneath him as he finally started in on her the way she'd wanted from the very moment that she had decided that she wanted him as her mate.

Together they huffed and moaned as Evin found himself humping her right there on the floor in the running downpour of the shower. To him nothing else mattered at that moment except for the pleasure that each thrust brought him and the wonderfully loveable blue and yellow furred girl beneath him. He could be a slave to these kind of urgently addictive feelings as with each thrust Rika grew warmer and slipperier to move in and out of. Her huffs and moans of pleasure were more than enough to let him know how much she was enjoying it, but also her frequent mini orgasms of internal squeezing were making him wild for her on a different level entirely. Once again Evin could feel his body trying to freeze up along with that now familiar pressure of pre-release, but unlike before he now had full mobility as he began jerkily tapering off before slamming himself all the way in with a sudden gasp.

Again she felt it and moaned in orgasm along with his release, feeling the hot passion of his love flooding her uncharted depths as she shook and nearly bounced beneath him. The force of her orgasmic bouncing and inner muscle clenching nearly knocked Evin off her and though he was still in her muscles kept him from going back in all the way as he continued shallowly thrusting with each spurt. He wasn't done, but now that he was already mostly out and couldn't get back in he was curious about what it looked like as he pulled it out a little more to finish on her outer folds. Panting and out of breath, Rika whined from his absents as she still trembled and shook, also feeling something warm now splattering her nether lips.

Quickly Evin's pleasure and release faded without the continued stimulation and Rika joined him soon after as they came down from the mountainous heights of their peaks. Soon it occurred to Rika that Evin's face wasn't the after pleasure she had seen the first time but that of curiosity as he then used his hand to rub her folds. Rika tensed and whined with pleasure from the touch, but then as his hand left her she felt the warm moist air of the shower quite prominently breezing over her clit and folds as she felt rather gooey down below.

Sitting up, she looked at the stuff on his hand finding the scent was most enticing as she took an experimental sniff. Looking at it closely it was somewhat white with traces of clear thick liquid as it dangled from Evin's finger in gooey strings. Then following an even stronger scent she looked down at her folds and saw the mess they'd made. She was in a slight state of shock as she beheld her abused pussy for the first time, seeing her fem folds all agitated and open along with all the gooey white beginning to ooze out as she poked at it.

Worn out and a bit shaky from his exertions, Evin let out a big yawn which snapped Rika's attention back to him as she playfully said, ~Looks like someone is ready for bed.~ Evin blinked his eyes sleepily as he replied, "I can't help it, everything we just did felt really good, but I just feel so heavy and tired now that I'm not sure I can get back up." Then with a wet squashing sound Evin slumped down on top of Rika as the last bits of energy left him and together they lay there in lovely embrace as the shower continued raining on them.

Rika was in no hurry to move, so it was quite a while before Evin got around to mustering up enough energy to pick the both of them up before looking at each other to see the sticky mess from earlier still wetly plastered against them. Rika giggled in the roundabout fashion of sounds her kind made while Evin just looked at it slightly discussed with how it felt. "We need to wash this off before bed, so don't just stand there giggling, help me clean up so we can go to bed."

Smiling as she then suggestively said, ~Why not just stay in here for the night? It seems quite appropriate for the mess we made.~ Sighing with exasperation Evin retorted, "Because it's not comfortable, we've used up a lot of water and we need to be leaving in the morning." Rika's playful attitude was wounded, but not finished as she then said, ~Okay, lets go to bed then.~ as she quickly stood up and helped him as they both tried to wash the jizz off their bodies.

~Why dose this stuff not want to come off!~ Rika said in frustration, ~It sticks in my fur like sap!~ Evin had had a somewhat similar experience with just getting it off his skin, but with soap and a lot of scrubbing it had finally came off as he then helped her. Helping her from behind in this particular way however was an entirely new situation that he had never prepared himself for as he had to gently wash her feminine petals for which Rika had no complaints as she felt his fingers run between her folds and all around.

Both were getting turned on again from the act, as his member slowly climbed up her inner thighs while clear slipperiness oozed for from her nether lips making his fingers slide over her fur. Rika panted and huffed while Evin diligently kept trying to wash the mess from earlier out of her fur even while dealing with a rock hard pulsating erection only a couple inches away from where he was working. For once he really wanted to do it; he wanted to just push it in and get things started all over again as his body yearned for that addictive feeling and Rika shared that sentiment as she eagerly began to grind her hips into his.

Breathing hard it took every last ounce of energy and restraint he had left to force himself not to ravage her right there as he finally dislodging the last traces of sticky seamen from her groin, but when he did he then quickly shutoff the shower. Rika whined with need, but slowly he backed away and left the show before grabbing a towel. Rika followed him out shortly after and proceeded into getting her fur patted down dry where before long Evin helped her by getting out a blow drier and worked at drying her all the way down to her skin. She felt warm and fluffy allover afterwards, but that still hadn't lessened her desire for another round as she still felt wetness dripping from her needy nether lips as each step made her want to squirm.

Boldness was the word for the night as Evin let his usual bashful shyness fly out the window and didn't even bother with his cloth as he put them into the drier before returning to the bedroom. He had indeed grown more comfortable about being naked around his pokemon, as Aqua and Spazz now looked up from one corner of the room questioningly; but even then, he wouldn't ever in his wildest dreams have walked in front of them with a full erection as he made his way into bed. Even as tired as he was with his heart and mind finally opened to Rika's desire of him, Evin found it hard not to think about how good it had felt to be with her in such an intimate way.

The feeling of being inside her while she panted and huffed his name in her own language was addicting enough, but the feeling and sounds of just touching her and hearing her responses were even more so addicting for reasons he could not fathom. It was as if she had Implanted her own desires within his mind, as now it only took a slight glance to turn him on and put him in a state of want to sate his need for her in the worst way as she now approached the bed. Rika never lost sight of Evin's erection as she followed, but upon entering the bedroom the sight of the other pokemon with their questioning looks caused her a moment's hesitation as she sidetracked over to them and explained the new development.

Needless to say, the other pokemon didn't see anything wrong with this situation, but in her own speech, Aqua asked how such a relationship could end in a happily reproductive way. Once again Rika's blush didn't show, but all she could think of in return of that question was an unknowing shrug. Standing back up strait, Rika turned around just in time to see Evin finish getting adjusted on the bed. His erection was still hard and barely visible in the dim lighting, but with her outstanding vision she could still see him quite easily waiting for her.

Within her mind she knew that this was the final step, after tonight they were mates and her body, thoughts, and emotional pleasure would all be his to do with as he liked. It was a symbol to her that she was his and he was hers and that nothing would ever come between them until the day they died. To her his life mattered more than her own, but tonight it was all about the pleasure as she crawled into bed...

The night there after was filled with whines and moans of ecstasy as grunts of hard labored climaxes filled the room with the passionate sounds of lovemaking as neither let the other get much sleep. The moment one climax reached its peak signaled the beginning of yet a new mountaintop to reach as Evin's enthusiasm remain persistently erect for the entire night. More and more Rika could feel her inner sanctum filling and more throughout the night did the bed sheets become saturated with their passionate lovemaking.

Aqua and Spazz had resorted to covering their ears to block out the noise, but slept with dreams of the moans and howls of mating. For the tenth time that night Evin reached his peak as dawn was only a few hours away and for the fourteenth time Rika let loose a load groaning howl as yet a little more of her lover's fluids squirted up into her. Panting and breathing hard, the new couple rested together as they were at long last finally ready to just sleep. Evin didn't know where he had found this kind of energy, but like his energy from earlier was now finally completely exhausted and whether it was by decision or by way of fainting he finally fell asleep with Rika still hilted and panting on top of him.

She felt her lover fall asleep and finally breathed a sigh of satisfied relief as she thought, (I've created a monster.) and then proceeded to fall asleep as well, as she then tucked her head to the side on his to rest on his shoulder.

***

The first thing Evin noticed upon beginning to wake up was the warmth surrounding his semi erect member. His memories from last night were pretty hazy, but he did recall that he and Rika had taken things to the next level, which to him was an understatement as he opened his eyes. Feeling himself still inside of Rika was one thing, but the mess they were covered in was quite another, as the feeling of cold sticky fluid caked all along his underside and legs became ever more present to his senses.

Looking around he could see that the bed was in a state of total dishevel along with his wild hairdo. He had no idea what time it was, but by the look of how much light was outside he guessed that it was still early morning. Putting aside the feelings of cold disgustingness, Evin turned his head to look at Rika's face; happy contentment were the only words for what he saw as she looked as comfortable as she could be with a small smile still on her lips. He almost hated to wake her up, but then he knew the exact way that she would love as his excitement quickly returned along with an erection. Slowly he turned them to the side before he then began moving his hips in and out as he slowly pulled most of the way out before pushing all the way in. For him, it was the sheer pleasure of watching her face tweak with pleasure as her lips twitched with the makings of a whine or moan.

Blinking once, then again as she began to realize what Evin was doing to her, Rika huffed with a happy yawn as she tried to open her legs more for him, only to find that she was on her side and could only wrap her free leg around him. The sound of their morning passion echoed wetly in the air as the bed began to creek and groan from Evin's efforts, and though his body was sore in places he had never thought of, he could only think about how much the girl in front of him really meant to him now. Rika had been there for him when he had first entered this world and for every hardship he had suffered thereafter.

She was the one who had freed him from the constant terror of agony brought by the powers bestowed onto him by some all-powerful benevolent being and still loved him while knowing that all he wanted to do was to return to the home from whence he came. Loving her or anyone else like this had never crossed his wildest fantasies, but now that he was in lover with her while expressing his passion so intimately he couldn't imagine being in the world without her as a thought of emptiness crossed his mind.

The thought troubled him to such a degree that this had in turn gotten Rika's attention as he lost the speed of the rhythm he had built towards. Her curiosity piqued, she felt where his emotions had wandered off to and wrapped her arms around him and said with a loving tenderness he had never heard from her, ~Don't think about it. I am here with you now and here is where I'll stay; so don't worry yourself over the meaningless possibilities of the future. Okay?~ Nearly in tears Evin agreed that he would try to keep from thinking of those kind of thoughts again, though by this time the mood of his naughty morning wakeup-call had changed and both could only feel how cold and sticky they were.

Disappointed that the mood had been thoroughly wrecked by Evin's sidetracked thoughts, Rika nimbly removed herself from him and the bed as her fur stuck to everything the entire way. Taking a moment to survey her sloppy wet disheveled fur, Rika's nose was finally hit by the strong pungent sent of the sexual juices allover her lower body that had had all night to become more pungent than ever as it made her fall to the floor when she gasped. Evin quickly looked over the side to make sure she was okay, but all he got when she looked back up at him was an annoyed sneer before she began to collect herself.

Being on the floor in an almost squatting position Rika was then hit by an even stronger scent before looking down to see what it was. What she saw made her entire face flush with heated embarrassment as what she saw amazed her as her own very lewdly open slit had begun pouring white liquid onto the floor. She couldn't help the feeling of deriving some sort of naughty pleasure from the watching this happen, but as she watched the liquid leave her the cold air wisped over her enough to give her chills as Evin now got off the bed as well.

"We better go get cleaned up again," he sighed, "Dawn probably wont be happy about seeing us again so soon after what happened, but as the professor said, it just isn't safe for her to be on her own." Looking up at Evin from the floor Rika nodded before she placed a paw between her legs to stop the mess inside her from pouring out allover the carpet and said, ~Yes, for more reasons than one we should go get cleaned up now, this feeling inside me is beginning to make me itch, and yes, like you I am just as worried that Dawn might come face to face with those wretches. Just the thought of what could happen makes my fur stand on end.~

Seeing that Rika was having some aftereffect problems from their night long activities, Evin offered his hand to help her up. Rika disregarded his help for a moment since she was still slightly annoyed at him, since she also wanted to remain angry for a while longer, but with the feeling of slippery wetness seeping into her paw she relented and offered her free paw. With a yank Evin had her back on her feet and together they entered the bathroom holding hands as the tension of the moment before quickly nullified.

Inside the shower they found it hard not to get touchy-feely with the other especially when Evin had to use nearly an entire half bottle of shampoo to wash the copious amounts of dried slimy fluids from her fur. Regardless of how it felt as Evin yanked and pulled on her fur, Rika couldn't stop giggling from the site of watching the indecision of Evin's manhood as it kept jumping between soft and hard. Each time she watched it grow she felt like she wanted to pounce him, but each time she started to move Evin jerked her hips back in place and she would then watch him get soft again for a few moments.

Fidgety and overcharged for at least one last round before they would have to suffer though the restraint of complete abstinence once they were reunited with Dawn, Rika readied herself for the moment she would catch him off guard and wiggled her hips ever so slightly. Evin had been concentrating on the task at hand and though he had been getting a little annoyed about how much Rika kept fidgeting in his grasp he couldn't help but feel that certain amount of sexual allure that her curvy hips instilled in him every time she wiggled.

Seeing that every last spec of slimy evidence of his deeds had been completely washed away, Evin finally stood strait and said he was done before suddenly being surprised by a long needful kiss as Rika took him down to the floor of the shower. Going down with little resistance, Evin felt Rika press her lower body to his with needful intent as she successfully sandwiched his member between her folds and started grinding back and forth. The feeling was exquisite as her already wet vulva slickly slid along his length, but no matter how hard she tried to force him to penetrate her she just couldn't seem to make it go in as his tip easily slipped by her entrance and poked at her clitoris.

The sensation of feeling his tip poking at her clit every time she failed to get it inside her had Evin's nerves shooting lightning, as each failure nearly made him blow his load allover her fur again. Between gasping and trying to hold back, Evin tried to get her to calm down a bit, but the overzealous Rika could neither hear or understand him as she then began using her paws to try and prop his joy rod up. Evin laughed in hysterics as slippery wet paws tickled his belly and sides while also still having to keep from letting loose the flood that wanted to explode from the live war-head that Rika kept playing with.

The feeling was both exquisite and excruciating as he fumbled for a way to make her stop. But then without warning, during one of her many grinds against his entire length, it suddenly slid right into her with absolutely no resistance whatsoever, causing him to grunt with relief as he then grabbed her hips and held on. Pulled tightly to him, Rika felt her lover's nearly painful pent up feelings of needful release as he suddenly let loose an enormous gush of heat within her with an almost whimpered out grunt of satisfaction. Feeling his burning warmth spreading within her belly in large squirts, Rika's tongue lulled out as she began giggling her hips and squeezed with her own needy release as she moaned her desire for this to the world. Her legs clamped on his hips and his hands clamped to hers as they alternated in tensing spasms of one setting off the other in an endless cascade of pleasure felt orgasms that lasted for nearly five minutes.

Rika huffed and panted as her pleasure reseeded, but Evin remained sensitive as every twitch of her inner muscles caused him to tense up as he delivered yet another small squirt. The very notion that pleasure could cause pain or insanity played at the edge of Evin's mind as Rika found great satisfaction in provoking his sensitivity. The very site of him at her mercy made her feel like a naughty villain even though her sexual appetite had finally been sated, but the delight of seeing his face contort in such spasms of pleasure along with the feeling of the small squirts within her that accompanied them kept her in place. She relished her victory over her prey for as long as his sensitivity lasted, but finally at the mercy of his own body he was able to recover enough to push her off and for a few moments after they tussled back and forth in playful show before finally leaving the shower.

Once again Rika felt absolutely full to the brim as she tried with all her might to hold it all in, but the task was useless and if it weren't for Evin's quick thinking of grabbing a paper towel to soak it up her fur would have been sullied again. She was thankful that the flow had eventually stopped, but much more preferred the feeling of fullness as she finished drying while tossing Evin a few more seductive glances. Annoyed that he was having trouble getting his boner to go away because of these glances, Evin pulled a cheap shot and returned her to her ball before she could protest.

He knew that she would probably be a bit angry with him as he finished getting dressed, but at that moment he was more concerned with how much light had already come into the sky. Aqua and Spazz stood at attention when Evin reentered the bedroom, asserting their readiness to leave. Evin nodded to them before returning them to their balls as well and then made sure his pack was in good condition for another trip.

Seeing the much too small tent for his growing party and his somewhat diminished food supplies, he decided that he would have to make at least last one extra stop before leaving the city. Grabbing an apple from the usually provided fruit blow, Evin made his way downstairs passed the crowd of other trainers trying to make it down to the dinning tables first. Seeing so many people at once reminded him of what school was like with the way many pushed and shoved to make it downstairs first.

From the looks of things, it looked like many had been picked up during the night by the police forces trying to reign people in away from danger as some trainers looked a little scared while others talked about how pissed they were about being brought here. Bypassing the tables, Evin got to the front desk just in time to see Joy come back from one of the store rooms with a few early breakfast meals for another set of trainers before she said, "Ah, you finally woke up; I was beginning to wonder. I'll have your pokedex ready for you in just a moment after I give these to the trainers I made them for."

With no other words needed, Nurse Joy hurried off to a table with three trainers sitting around it looking anxious. Moments later Joy was back behind her desk nearly running from area to area before returning with his pokedex in hand as she then said, "I took the liberty of installing some updates for you since it seemed there was a patch while you were out training. Everything is in order for you to leave the city as the authorities have been notified to let you pass to search for another trainer, and while that might keep some from bothering you not all will read the memo, so a special note has also been added to your pokedex.

The note will verify that you have the permission and authority to go beyond barriers and blockades, but keep in mind that many still keep it firmly within their minds that children along with teenagers, even when given authority, believe they should try to deter them from danger. It's a long road to the next city, so I hope you find your friend without problems. But if anything does happen just remember that there are rangers scouring the area that will help you when needed. Shooting a flare up in the air will most likely get the attention of at least a few, so help is never very far so long as you as willing enough to ask for it."

Evin nodded to Nurse Joy's information and thanked her for everything before he then quickly exited the building to head strait for the market. Inside the shop he haggled with the owner for a fair price on a trade-in for a bigger tent for his smaller one and after coming to an agreement used some of the money he had to restore his food supplies to tide him over for a few days before leaving to his next stop.

As he entered yet another set of doors of the place Nurse Joy had told him about, he was greeted by a guy covered in tattoos wearing a black motorcycle vest. His shop was decorated with tattoo designs, cool T-shirts and pictures of unique pokemon projects that he had done in the past. "What's up kid, see anything you like?" Evin looked around, but then released Rika from her ball as he said, "My lucario has had an unfortunate run in with Team Rocket and as you can see her chest spike was broken in the struggle. Nurse Joy recommended we come here to have it sanded down properly."

Looking serious for only a moment, the man examined her chest spike with an eyeglass before saying, "That's a wicked break, I don't usually work on damaged goods, but if the nurse be the one sendin ya then who am I to turn down a job such as this on such a lovely critter." Rika put both paws to her snout in flattered embarrassment over the man's praise. "Like with the pokemon center, I'll be needin yer pokedex to square the W.O.P.T." Evin cocked his head as he said, "The what?" The man huffed a small laugh, "Didn't ya ever go to school kid? It's the work on pokemon transaction. It's how the pokemon centers stay in business along with anyone else who does essentially needed work on pokemon or providing shelter for the trainers. It's like a separate bank account run by your professor for all your pokemon needs. Don't ask me how they keep the account full, but that's the basic gist of it."

Seeing his pokedex in a new light for the first time, Evin handed it over to the man who waved it over his register after punching in a few buttons and then pointed the knobby scanning glass at a receptacle on the register. The transaction went through without a problem and the man gave the pokedex back before saying, "I'm sure your professor already told you this, but make sure you don't loose it. A pokedex is your way of living day to day if you are running low on cash, thieves often target these devices in hopes of pilfering the entire account, so be careful with it."

Looking to Rika the man examined her chest and the surrounding area before saying, "That lower than usual notch below the fur line is going to diminish the quality of the final product, but I think we can make due by just giving that part a nice shine while trying to grind the rest of it in as close as possible." Getting out his tools and fitting goggles to Rika and Evin, the man then sat Rika in a chair before putting on a welder's mask and going to work.

Sparks from the grinner flew all around and Rika gripped the chair with enough intensity to make Evin worry; but within only a few minutes, the man switched to a less abrasive grinder head and began the process of fine polishing. Rika still gripped the chair she was in, but not quite as intensely as before since the vibrations weren't quite as painful. Soon the grinder finally came to a stop as the man switched to some picks and fine cloths and started doing the fine tuning work of erasing any leftover flaws in the area before finally standing to admire his work and said, "That came out better than I had hoped."

Standing from the chair Rika stepped in front of a full length mirror to see what had become of her spike. The edges had all been sanded and polished until they gleamed with the sine of smoothness and while the center came to a slight ovule mound very little was the lowest point of the break of her spike noticed. "In about a year the spike should be grown out enough to give it a better more even look, but things being as they are I think it looks quite fetching like this. what do ya say kid?"

Evin looked at it closely and felt along the edges while Rika held her paws to her face as she blushed, but then he said, "It's perfect." and thanked the man for such a wonderful job before returning Rika to her ball to leave town. "Word of caution kid, stay away from those Team Rocket bad boys, they're not messin around when it comes to stealing everything other people have and then taking advantage of the ones already down. They are ruthless and quite lethal at the moment, so your best bet would be to stay right here in town." Evin smirked and said, "It's a nice idea, but unfortunately it's not an option for me. Thank you for all that you've done for me and my lucario." Evin nodded his head in goodbye and left the shop.

Outside the air was filled with chatter of Team Rocket being spotted nearby while the press was running around documenting everyone's feelings on the matter and eating up any solid information they could get their hands on. Shaking off the feeling of foreboding wariness, Evin unfolded his bike and quickly road out of town. To keep from drawing unwanted attention he stayed at a normal speed as far as the outskirts of town before then beginning to apply extra needed power into his peddling to eventually get up to the speed of a motorcycle.
