______________________________________________________________________

Saturday morning, and I feel quite content being lifeless laying on the couch flicking through the tele. Between the odd info-mercial, news and cartoons, nothing seemed to draw my attention. My black hair kept falling in my face, To which I'm constantly being told needed to be cut. I stand at 5'8" with a decent build from training and working on the ranch. The family ninetails, Sasha, seemed to be content with making me overly warm by napping on my feet at the other end of the couch.

To say she is the family ninetails probably is not accurate or fair to her. According to my parents, about 18 years ago she had been found on the edge of the forest, protecting a small infant and a riolu. She looked pretty beaten and hurt from whatever it is she got away from, without a mark on the infant or riolu. The infant was me, Michael, and riolu, now lucario, Alex. My dad, who is a novelist, and mom, an assistant to the regions professor, told me that both Pokemon refused to be caught but happily followed me around without causing to much trouble.

I tried to question Sasha numerous times on where I came from or why Alex was with me, or even what all of us were doing together. Normally all I get is a smile from the overgrown lap fox, followed by being tackled to the ground and lick to death twice over. Alex and Sasha always acted the part of older sister to me, picking me up from school and playing with me when I was younger. For whatever reason I can understand Pokemon to an extent, yet Sasha still remains a mystery to me.

"You know if your that bored you can always go to the ranch and help Kelsey out" a voice behind me said, snapping me out of my reminiscent daydream. I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, making me look up to see Alex. I frowned at her, feeling a little lazy at the moment, and was going to tell her as much. She smiled at me and said "You know what? I insist we go help at the ranch today. And yes I was reading your aura again." While she was a riolu, she explained to me that their kind have the ability to see something called aura. She described it as a multicolor smoke that surrounds a person, that changed color depending on a persons mood or state. It allowed her to deduce quite a bit about a person or Pokemon emotional and mental state.

"But I will wake Sasha if I move" I replied lamely, pointing at the off white, cream colored lump of fur at my feet. Sasha at that moment decided to wake up. Smiling at me with a groggy yawn.

"No excuses to all of us are going" Alex said with a smirk, and proceeded to usher us to the front door.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

To call it a ranch would be putting it mildly. It acted as a research facility for the local professors, as well as medical centre and habitat for Pokemon. Only difference was there was no nurse Joy for me to stare at. It was privately owned by the Shino family, who also rented some land out to local farmers. My adoptive mother has worked closely with the Shino family and local professors for over 25 years. Pokemon of all shapes and sizes reside there, most wild, some sent by trainers who have more than 6.

We decided to cut through the side gate instead of going through the front. Upon entering, we hear a melodious cry echo from somewhere ahead of us. Following the sound, we emerge by the lake, which is where the water Pokemon live. A vaporeon which we could make out to be Fall, was sitting there with Kelesy, the eldest daughter of the Shino family. Upon seeing our approach, Fall waved her tail and let out another cry.

" What's up Fall?" I heard Kelsey asked, stoping what she was doing and looking at the vaporeon. An enthusiastic 16 year old girl, Kelsey was about 5'5" with dyed dark red shoulder length hair. Normally it was in a ponytail, but today she had it pinned aside with bobby pins. She has filled out quite well over the years from when I first met her years ago. I'd be fully lying if i said i hadn't thought about doing dirty things to her before. Hey I'm a guy. I'm allowed to fantisize. Just don't tell that to her.

I was 5 when I was exploring the town with Alex and Sasha. We saw a fence and decided to go into the area, not knowing it was the Pokemon ranch. Shortly thereafter I got separated from Alex and Sasha from chasing a caterpie, when a girl ran into me. She grabbed me and said very matter of factly " You could have used the front door you know." She then proceeded to drag me to the main area to play with her and the pokemon. That is how I came to know Kelsey and the ranch.

Kelsey looked up from the vaporeon to our direction, soon spotting us. "Alex!! Sasha!!" Kelsey yelling, waving and running towards us. The lucario and ninetails met her half way giving her a hug, with me trailing in the back. She looked over both Alex and Sasha and said " You guys look like your doing well" before peering over their shoulders and seeing me. "You on the other hand look like shit" she said with a smirk.

"Well this is what you get when a overly energetic lucario pulls you off an extremely comfortable couch at.....BLAGH!!" My face was suddenly assaulted by a jet of cold water. I was definitely awake now. When it tapered down, I looked up to seem an innocently smiling Fall sitting there. I approached her shaking my head.

"Hello to you to Fall" before giving her a hug. She nuzzled my neck in appreciation before nudging me towards the other female I had yet to greet.

I turned around and approached Kelsey, but was stopped by an outstretched hand. "If you think your hugging me with how wet you are," she started with her eyes narrowed at me, " you got another thing coming." Looking myself over I noticed I looked like I had just jumped into the lake, jeans, tee shirt and all.

I smirked. Challenge accepted.

I dashed over to her covering the short distance and getting under her outstretched hand block almost instantly. I noted the look of surprise and panic on her face as she registered me moving. I quickly moved to right, using my left arm, and grabbed her waist to use as a pivot. She stumbled a little but before she could fall, I was behind her, wrapping my other arm around her. I proceeded to rub my wet hair to either side of her face. She had given up trying to push me away and opted for a defensive pose with her head ducked in between both arms.

"NOOOOOOOO.......off.......get off me you .....you.....asshat!!" she yelled at me while laughing. Asshat. That was a new one. I might have taken her a little more seriously if not for the laughing and overall panic see seemed to be in. That and none of the Pokemon came to her assistance. I looked over at them to see them giggling at the scene. Alex cough interrupted the merriment.

" Well since it is almost noon, how about we go get something to eat and a change of clothes." Kelsey glared at me and shrug, still in her defensive stance. " If this douche bag would let me go before I catch hypothermia, I might be inclined to get some food with you"

I let go of her and she proceeded to quickly walk towards the house in the distance, trying to dry her shirt and face all the while. I walked along, talking off my shirt to try and wring out some water and let the shirt and myself sun dry a bit before getting to the house. On our way I noticed the barn, which housed rehab and abandoned Pokemon, had been renovated. It really was not a barn anymore, but a small open air, multi-floor complex. I signalled over to Kelsey who stopped and looked over at us. I turned to Alex and Sasha and said "I'm going over to check out the rehab centre" Alex giggled at me and said "It's not like you have a drug or alcohol problem" I rolled my eyes at the snickering pair. " Go catch up with Kelsey and I will see you in a bit." I saw the two girls off and overheard Kelsey ask " Where's he going?" to which the lucario responded "He's having a drug and alcohol problem so he's checking out the rehab centre." Kelsey looked at me shaking her head and shouted " If your not back soon, we are going to share your portion of the food." before walking off saying to Alex "you would kill him before me if he did either."

_______________________________________________________________________

I entered the rehab centre to be greeted by the usual shuffle of Pokemon. I spent most of my time helping in here, seeing how I am adopted and all. I know the value of having a companion to talk to and share time with. The centre doubled as a shelter for wild Pokemon seeking refugee, no one was turned away, baring they hurt another or cause general disruption towards the other residence of the centre. Presiding and ensuring order, ironically enough, was the disaster pokemon absol who I call Mika. From what I can tell, she is a wild Pokemon, but by far the strongest in the building. She accepted the name I gave her, though to this day, I am still not sure why. I have seen her take out a blastoise with ease, and is not a mon I want to be on the bad side of. I dunno though, who would win in a Mika vs. Alex vs. Sasha fight though. Hopefully I'll never find out.

I walked through the building saying hi to most of the familiar faces, looking to greet Mika, seeing how its been a while since I dropped in last. I made it from one side of the building to the other with no luck in finding her. I stopped in the foyer to ask some of the older Pokemon if they knew where she was, to which they replied no.

"Your powers of observation and investigation still suck, as usual." I heard the voice echo and float to me. I looked around, seeing no one out of the ordinary, then hazarded a look up. My vision was suddenly engulfed by black face and white fur. "SURPRISE!!!" Mika shouted happily as I landed flat on my ass.

I looked at the furry disaster pokemon and smiled. " Nice to see you to Mika" She smiled at me and said "So what took you so long and what did you bring me?" I laughed at her and replied "Alex dragged me here this morning so I have nothing, unless you want to come with me to lunch." "Lunch sounds good" she said jumping off me so I could get up.

All of a sudden I hear shouting coming from one of the rooms. Mika races in the direction of the commotion, with me trailing slightly. We enter the room to see a luxray going at it with a arcanine. Arcs of electricity shot forth from the luxray, striking the massive canine. He roared in anger firing off short bursts of flame at the feline. They all missed, exploding the rear wall outward and into the court yard, where both Pokemon jumped and proceeded to go and resume their battle.

" Oh geez," stated Mika, sitting in shock at the destroyed wall and room " Kelsey is going to be pissed" I looked at her incredulously seeing the amount of damage this had caused. " How can you be so calm?!?!" I yelled at her hurrying outside, while trying to figure out a way to stop this without ending up dead. I suddenly was unable to move, frozen like a block of ice, mid step. " Hold your ponyta" said Mika, finally moving " I'll stop it." Her eyes started to glow, even redder then the normal, tinged with a hint of dark purple, and she let out an ear shattering howl. Both Pokemon came to abrupt halt regardless of where they where. The luxray was suspended in the air mid jump while the arcanine was stuck trying to land from his jump. If i didn't know better i would have guessed a wire suspension system that you see in movies. Mika approached both parties slowly and menacingly. "You two are fairly new here," she started, " but you both are aware of the rules. While training battles are allowed, violence with intent to cause major harm is not. Seeing as how you....i dunno..... BLASTED A HOLE IN THE WALL... I am assuming your not training and you better have a dam good explanation!"

The luxray gave up her fighting stance and submissively bowed her head to absol, while the arcanine continued to try and move. Mika approached the luxray, who seemed to speak very quickly to her. Mika let the luxray go and told her to stay there then approached the arcanine and asked "What do you have to say?" The arcanine growled something unintelligible to me.

"WRONG ANSWER!!!" Mika shouted before the arcanine impacted the ground. No not just on the ground. INTO the ground. The canine was half in the ground like a whack a digglet game. I took me a moment to realise I was not restrained, I looked at Mika who said " I let you go a while ago," before approaching the luxray. She said something quickly to the electric feline, who then moved into the building. Mika turned around to me and said " I'm hungry, and you owe me lunch."

As we left I questioned my walking companion on what had just happened.

"Arcanine was trying to rape the luxray" She said simply. " She fought back to protect herself." I decided to press a little further "And what did the arcanine say to encourage being put in the ground, literally?" I asked. She normally would let them go with a quick slap, or toss them somewhere at most. I have not seen her use that much power in a long while. She stopped and looked at me and replied " He said the female had it coming, always teasing him, and that she wanted it. He also said we wouldn't mind a go at my tail either but probably wouldn't be a good ride anyway." Her tone was bitter more than angry, and it suggested that there was something more there but I was not going to pry anymore.

I kneeled down and gave her a hug to which she relaxed into almost immediately. " Let's hurry or Kelsey and the other girls are going to eat up all the food" Mika nodded quickly before quickly jogging together towards the house

_______________________________________________________________________

We got to he house, upon which Kelsey was standing by the door waiting for us. As we approached she rushed up and slapped me. Hard. " What was that for?" I asked grimacing, rubbing my cheek. " What did you destroy this time? I know you did something. Why else would there be smoke and a explosion coming from the barn?" She asked pointedly with her arms crossed. "Every time you come something seems to explode or break." Oh. That. Still nursing my reddening cheek I replied "Don't blame me when a luxray and arcanine go at it it the barn. somethings got to give. Apparently it's the wall." She looked wide eyed and deadpanned "They were having sex in my barn and the wall blew up?! To much information." Mika decided it was time to rescue me seeing as I failed miserably at explaining " Arcanine wanted to rape luxray who fought back. Nothing more. Arcanine blew out a wall and I put his ass in the ground literally. Your going to have to dig him out of there later"

Kelsey stared at the absol for a moment and said " You can talk?!" She turned to me wide eyed and asked " She just talked to me right?" To which I replied "I already can understand Pokemon. remember? I didn't know she wasn't talking to you in the first place." Kelsey shook her head and said "The only one that I know can talk is Alex. Normally all I hear is the Pokemon calling out their name like usual." Regaining her composure she squats down and looks at Mika with enthusiasm. " This is amazing" she murmurs. "When did you learn how to talk? How did you learn how to talk?" quickly pulling out her pokedex to take note. I turned to the grinning absol and said " Thanks Mika, but now your a research project for the next little bit." She looked at me as if to say meh. I was about to go in when I turned around suddenly and quickly asked "You going to tell me how you know our language?" Mika laughed and said " Is the little human curious? Well I'm not telling you" and stuck out her tongue at me. I looked at Kelsey who turned to me and said excitedly "Mike, get her to speak more english and not Pokemon!" I sighed, it was going to be a long day.

_______________________________________________________________________

After leaving Kelsey and Mika at the door, I meandered into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of ice tea. I then ran over to the spare room when I keep extra clothes and quickly changed, putting the semi-damp clothes on the window ledge to dry. I proceeded on to the family room, where I surmised everyone would be, placed my glass on the table and flopped on the floor and closed my eyes.

"I think we could have heard that slap from our house" said a familiar snickering female voice. I opened my eyes to see the muzzle of Alex, Sasha and Fall all floating over me. Alex decided to tease me some more "What did you do? Play pocket pool in the barn and get a room dirty?"

I shook my head as best I could and explained what happened using Mika's words seeing on how I suck at explaining things. Fall pushed my head to the side to look at the slap mark. I waited patiently and the three giggled and me and Sasha nodded. All of a sudden feel the cool yet wet cheek of Fall press up against my injured cheek. Alex laughed and said " We have to put something cold on that wound and get this patient warm STAT." I think she's been watching to many doctor shows like Grey's Anatomy or ER with Sasha. Sasha proceeded to take the opposite side as the water pokemon making my body temperature clash horribly. Alex looked like she decided she was missing out and sprawled on top of me. making sure her chest spike did not impale me. She looked at Fall and Sasha and said "Do you think he will survive?" A unified giggle ran through the three as they nodded and resumed their self appointed duties.

I decided not to move seeing as I was out numbered three to one, regardless of the itch from the tag in my shirt. A couple of moments later I notice movement from the hallway and see Kelseys head pop in. At first she looks around and then stops with understanding look at the pokepile in the middle of the floor. "Problem?" She asks with a chuckle. I try to look at her and respond but the ninetale and vaporeon muzzles to either side prevented that. I gave up moving for the moment and just responded "Apparently I am in need of serious medical attention according to these ladies and they refuse to move till the treatment is finished." Kelsey shook her head at the three nodding pokemon before she responded "We go back to work in 30min. Be ready or work without food."

________________________________________________________________________________________

Thankfully they let me up shortly thereafter allowing me to make a quick sandwich and meal for Mika, and snack for later. Fall decided to make some ice cubes for me using ice beam to put on my slap mark. I'd be more thankful had not decided to use my unfinished ice tea as her medium. Sighing, I grabbed my cup quickly filled and downed a half glass ice tea to chase my sandwich and hurried outside with the make shift ice cube on my cheek. The five of us decided to check on the luxray and damage done to the barn. Kelsey decided to go check on the luxray while I deal with the broken wall. Figures.

Upon looking at the initial damage, it looked pretty bad. However closer look showed no damage to any main supports or beams. I would have to get some wood, drywall and brick for the outside finish, but it shouldn't be so bad. After a quick trip to the hardware store, I came back to find the pokemon in the centre waiting to help. I'm guessing that this was Mika's idea. Note to ask her later. With all the help we managed to fix the hole in time for dinner. I went to the staff area and got some poffins out to share with the group for a job well done. We then proceeded to remove the arcanine from the ground. He did not look very pleased but with Mika there, he did not dare to act up. Kelsey had called for transport to move him to another facility so he could not interfere at the rehab centre. Afterwards Mika decided to stay back at the centre, but seeing us off.

We went back into the house where Kelsey promptly shouted "Shotgun on the bathroom!" and ran off. I was left wondering if there would enough if any at all hot water left. I decided to prepare dinner, sending a text message to both mom and dad to let them know. Mom replied that she would join us seeing as she was still at the lab a building over. Dad was currently still out of town on some secret novelist convention so he said he would not be home till late tomorrow afternoon.

As I am preparing dinner with Fall and Alex, I hear a crash and splash. I run towards the washroom and knock on the door. "Kels, you okay?" The response was a muffled " Ya, just slipped in the tub. No worries." I looked at the 3 pokemon with me who nodded and I replied "Okay, dinner in 30 min. Rice and stew. Be ready or we will eat your share." I heard an angry " Don't you dare eat my share!" followed by a splash. I looked at the girls and we started to proceed back to the kitchen when I remembered my drying clothes and said "go look after the food, don't eat it. I have to go put the clothes i left on the window away before some crazy mon steals them. The three girls nodded and turned around proceeding to the kitchen without a second glance.

I hurried to the room to grab my clothes I had left there and quickly shoved it into my bag and closed the window. I proceeded to kitchen but got distracted by a unfamiliar noise coming from the bathroom. I stopped a second to try and figure out what is was. Sounded like an electric razor or clippers. It had a buzzing noise. Clearly Kelsey was out of the bath. I decided to let my curiosity subside and proceed to the kitchen where a hot stew was waiting for me.

"Mike...." My blood froze fearing I had been caught outside of the bathroom, almost like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar. I was about to say something when I hear "Yes....Mike....Oh Mike....Like that...." Along with then unfamiliar buzzing noise that was getting louder. It took me a second to realise, oh Arceus, she was masturbating to me. Oh no no no. This is not good. Not where I want to be at them moment. I'll be killed or worse if I was caught.

I quickly left the area to the kitchen where the three pokemon were waiting. Alex looked at me with a questioning stare. I said asked "What?" They look at each other shook their head then all nodded before Alex replied "You took your time. Doing something you shouldn't have?" Considering what I just over heard and the fact I did not want to die, I responded with " Of course not, what would make you say that?" The three snickered again before Sasha made a pawing gesture towards the lower half of my body. I looked down to see my jeans were kinda tight and improper for presentation. I blushed furiously while thinking about anything to calm down while turning away to readjust myself. All present females decided to laugh at my embarrassing predicament. Kelsey decides to show at that exact moment, scaring me to death and says " Whats so funny?"

After dinner mom returned home, but I was asked to stay seeing as there was a new shipment of lab samples coming in tomorrow. They wanted me to be present to help unload. Kelsey said to take the guest room as usual. I quickly washed and dried the dishes with the help of Fall and Sasha. I then hurried to the bathroom before it was over taken my Alex and Sasha. I would never get to shower if they went in first. I quickly took a shower then headed to my room. Laying down, I decide to open the window a crack to let in a nice breeze and fresh air I took off my shirt and left in on the floor. Sasha and Alex com in shortly and make themselves comfortable. Sasha brought me a brush that was kept lying around and dropped it at my feet. I laughed at the sight. My ninetails likes nothing better than being groomed. I made myself comfortable with Sasha sitting between my legs. I slowly went over her back, side and belly, then proceeded to work on each one of the tail. Knowing full well if I don't give this my all, and done to her standards, I will be scratched to pieces. And if that happened, Kelsey would not be pleased picking pieces of me off the floor. After about an hour worth of brushing, and what seemed to be an extra ninetail sitting on the floor from all the excess fur, Sasha was in a small stupor lightly purring from the brushing, I'm guessing I did a good job seeing how I was not being picked out of the ninetails claws. Ah dam. I'll clean up tomorrow. After a moment I switched over to the lucario who was patiently waiting on the side of the bed. I took the finer side of the brush and started to comb through her fur she sighed contently, looking like she slowly entering and exiting sleep, as she rested against my shoulder. I decided to lay her down, shut off the lights and get some rest. Sasha against my feet to waist and Alex with her back to me. We started to drift off to sleep when I hear a slight creak in my door. I look up to see Mika sitting there.

"Is something wrong?" I ask quietly. She took that as an approval for entry and hopped on the bed, being careful not to wake the sleeping fox by my feet. She came right up beside me, sitting down, and looking at me with those deep red eyes and said in a quiet voice. " I don't want to be by myself tonight. Can I sleep here? Please?" I reached out and slowly petted her noting how tense she felt. I also noted she was shaking. Something was off but seeing how it was late and she was here, now was not the time to ask. I looked at her and smiled as I said "If you want to. I don't think Sasha or Alex will mind you sleeping with them. But this is my bed right now, so your going to have to put up with me sleeping here as well." I felt her wipe a tear on my arm and spin around once before snuggling up close to me, relaxing, grabbing my arm and draping it over her and whispered. " I don't mind at all." before drifting off to sleep.
