#3 of New Companion

I lied. no sex this chapter. actually forgot how it went it's been so damn long. there IS sex in this series though with one chapter dedicated to it.


Claire seemed annoyed by his fear of capture, "oh for heaven's sake Jim, you can't be caught by a ball! I've had plenty thrown at me and never once did it suck me in. It just doesn't work that way for us."

A smile saying "sure, whatever you say" flashed across Jim's face but the conversation ended there. Conversation picked up to dance amidst what had been done for the past few years and ended up trailing into plans for the future. Jim's plans were modest but characteristically, Claire had grand plans for her future but mostly centered around finding the person to enjoy it with while Dylia had fallen asleep way before they got around to this point of the conversation.

Dylia snorted in her sleep and rolled over causing Jim and Claire to both look at her. The sight made both of them suddenly get tired and look at the clock, which read 10:19PM. Jim yawned and got up from the table, "well now, I think we've done more catching up than we planned on doing today and I still have work to do tomorrow. I'll get you some bedding to keep comfortable with." He knew saying 'keep warm' wouldn't have been right since her being a flareon made her body temperature very high and most bedding would just be too damn hot.

Claire just nodded in agreement, yawning herself as she got up to follow him into the next room. Jim pulled out a light blanket and sheet for her to wrap up in and laid them out on the couch. As Claire laid down, she made a mental note to bring in her bag in the morning. She usually slept in the buff but thought she should be modest being at Jim's now so she kept a shirt and underwear on once he was in his own room. Soon they were both sound asleep.

Later that night, around 2AM, Dylia woke up surprised to still be on the kitchen table and everyone asleep. She padded off into the front room to lay back down on the couch but saw Claire there and remembered part of the earlier conversation. She hadn't paid much attention since it was just old friends catching up on the times and either was day dreaming or outright sleeping during most of it. Speaking of dreaming, wonder what Claire is dreaming about that has her smiling. Claire was sporting a massive grin that you either only got after awesome sex, or you just had the best day of your life, so the dream must have been good. Walking further brought her to Jim's room which, like the night before, was left partially open again.

Jim was laying on his back again but this time he didn't have any sheets or clothes on besides the boxers he always wore. A couple quick hops and she was sitting on his chest again staring at his face hoping he would wake up. She gave up after a few minutes and just laid down where she was to go back to sleep when a hand came up to scratch her behind the ears, "hey Dylia."

"I thought you were asleep."

"I was. Woke up when you hopped on my bed, but I wanted to."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"This," Jim reached under his pillow and pulled out a black and gray pokeball. It wasn't dylia's so she was wondering why he had it and under his pillow at that. "I've had it for years-"

"I thought Claire said you can't be caught by pokeballs?"

"Naturally born anthros like her can't, but I haven't always been an anthro," he paused for a second to listen if Claire was awake, "I'll tell you the story another time though. Actually I haven't activated this ball yet. Didn't want to get stuck in it with no way out but with you here I can finally do that. I'd like to give the ball to you for safe keeping if you don't mind though."

Dylia didn't know what to think at this point. So much has been flooded on her in the past 24 hours that she was having a hard time thinking at all. Just a couple days ago she was given to a normal human male who she now has discovered he is a pokemon! Or at least used to be one. Stupid narrator! Shut up already. You're making it hard to think.

Jim was starting to get worried, she hadn't replied to his request and had a rather forlorn expression on her face. It took her a while but she finally looked up and replied to him, "I--I think I can do that. But you'll have to fill me in on everything sooner or later so I know what's going on!"

A sigh of relief escaped him as he reached up to a box on his headboard. "Thank you, here this will help you carry the ball around," he opened the box and pulled out a necklace that was in it. It was gold and silver with a large claw-like pendant hanging from it. Dylia thought it was beautiful but was surprised to have Jim wrap it around her neck. "There, now just one thing left to do," with that he pressed the button on the ball as it sucked him in with a bright flash of light.

Once the vibrating stopped and the ball beeped once Dylia walked over to it and pressed the button again, letting Jim out. "So how you feeling?"

"ugh... I've always hated being inside those things. Makes my back get all stiff! Anyways, I need to get some sleep, that project still needs my attention and I can't do that tired," with that he grabbed the ball, shrank it, and snapped it into place on Dylia's new necklace. She pawed at it curiously for a minute before looking back to Jim... who was already asleep again so she just hopped back onto his chest and curled up to sleep herself, wondering what she had gotten herself into.

When Jim awoke in the morning he found Dylia laying upside down on his chest. A light rub on her belly woke her up and put a smile on her face, "so am I going to have to get used to you sleeping on me now?"

"So long as you stay as comfortable as you are, yes. Not to mention the belly rubs... mmmm," with her half closed eyes and content smirk, Jim could only guess what was going through her mind for the moment but his guess would have been completely off.

Claire peeked her head in through the doorway, "awww how cute! So what's for breakfast? I'm starving."

Jim thanked his father for the thick fur that covered his embarrassment, "oh HAH HAH Claire. Let me get up and I'll fix something. Besides, when did you start eating breakfast?"

"Probably around the time my job began starting at 9:00... gave me plenty of time to get some grub!"

"A nine to five girl now? Man a lot has changed! I remember back when you were working six to four at the pokemart!"

"Nine to three actually, but I only NEED six hours to do my job. Unlike some people I know who take their time and milk their bosses for what they're worth."

"Hey! I don't milk my boss! I just take my time and enjoy what I'm doing!"

Dylia let out a weak squeak and struggled under Jim's crushing arms, "can't.....breathe..."

"Oh shit! Sorry Dylia" she gasped for air and rolled onto Jim's stomach to get away from his arms, staying on her back for the time being. Claire was trying to keep from laughing too hard at how worked up Jim had just gotten which just flustered him more. "Ugh, I'm going to need a workout every morning if you keep this up."

With a satisfied smile she turned tail and headed back out to the front room to watch some TV. The news was on and said something about recent attacks by groups of pokemon on travelers and small towns, Claire turned the channel before they could find out where though.

With a disgruntled sigh Jim rolled out of bed to start his day, making sure to grab Dylia as he did this so she wasn't tossed to the floor. He set her back down on the end of the bed on his way to the bathroom to take a shower though but out of habit forgot to shut the bathroom door as he walked in. It was only connected to his bedroom and couldn't be seen from the front room so Claire couldn't see anything but Dylia was at the perfect angle to see anything he did and took full advantage of it. She couldn't see much until he got out of the shower though but once he was she was surprised by a few things. His feet looked like a mightyena's paws and his tail almost touched the floor now that it was wet. Another surprise was when he turned around and she noticed he had a sheath instead of just protruding genitalia like a human. Wow, he's definitely less human than Claire is... I wonder if she ever noticed?

Jim walked out of the bathroom after he blow dried his fur, which took a while, and noticed Dylia still lying on the bed. With a smirk he walked over to her and roughly picked her up, giving her a noogie once he had a good grip on her, "OW OW OW! HEY! That hurts! What the hell was that for!?"

"And now that I have your full attention, I have a question for you," he paused for a second while she tried to squirm out of his grip, "you act a lot older than you look... how old are you?"

She stopped squirming as soon as he stopped speaking and drooped her ears. When he lifted her up to eye level with him she wouldn't even look at him. He tried turning her around, angling her, and even turning her upside down to get her to look at him but she just wouldn't, "well alright then. If you don't want to tell me then I won't push the issue." He set her back down on the bed where she was and scratched her mane for a second before heading back to the bathroom to finish brushing out his own mane and tail. Once he finished he put on some boxers and shorts and started walking out to the front room to tell Claire it was her turn when he heard something from Dylia, "huh? What was that Dylia?"

"Eleven."

"What's that?"

"I'm eleven."

"Oh! Wow... and here I thought you were telling me the time. But why are you so bummed out about your age?"

"Don't wanna talk about it..."

Jim stopped on the other side of the bed and looked her way but she still wouldn't look at him, "well alright then. If you ever do then let me know." He stepped out of the room to let Claire know she could take a shower but stopped cold in his tracks when he looked into the front room.

Claire had found the music stations on Jim's TV and was dancing to one of them in just her bra and panties. The way she danced was almost hypnotizing with the way her fur flowed as she moved about and it didn't help much that she also had a beautiful body that she took great care of and Jim knew every one of those curves like the back of his paw. The song ended all too soon though and she stopped dancing long enough to see Jim staring, "something catch your eye, Jim? Helloo, earth to Jim!"

Jim snapped out of his stupor finally, "oh! Sorry, I wanted to tell you the shower is ready when you are."

"Thanks," she grabbed her bag and slipped past Jim to head to the shower, brushing her tail along his side to tease him. She tossed her bag onto the bed and proceeded into the shower.

Jim decided on sitting down, mainly to hide his erection but also to relax before his stretching and workout for the morning. As soon as he heard the bag hit his bed though Dylia came bolting out of the room and launched herself into his lap.

"She's trying to kill me!" she tried to curl up in his lap but noticed a hard object keeping her from getting comfortable, "what the...?" Dylia looked up to see Jim looking at the ceiling covering his eyes, his cheeks were burning red even through his dark fur. It took all of five seconds for Dylia to realize what the hard object was before turning red herself as she backed towards his knees, "s-s-sorry..."

"I... I think I need to go work out now. I'll be out back for a bit." He was trying his hardest not to laugh at just how embarrassing this morning has turned out already but Dylia's expression was making it so much harder not to laugh with how red her fur on her face was, "and maybe you need to come with me. A little exercise always helps."

She hopped to the floor and thought about it for a second before following him outside. They both shook their heads when they noticed the steam coming out of the bathroom and filling Jim's room, though, they couldn't blame Clarie since she was a fire type after all.

A quick stop by the closet to get the gear and they were on their way out to the back yard. Since he didn't do his yoga yet Jim decided on a choice few stretches to get warmed up while Dylia did a few stretches of her own. Jim started on the punching bag right away to work away his frustrations and it showed. The bag was flying harder and faster than it was the previous day and Dylia noticed a slight dark aura around him as he fought with it. She had a sinking feeling to stay away from him until he was finished which paid off since he actually disappeared for a couple seconds! When he reappeared he had put his elbow through the wood pole he used with his kendo sticks and was panting hard to regain his breath.

"... feeling better?"

"oh yeah. I haven't done that in a long time. Feels good to use some abilities again. How about you? Ready for your exercise?"

She never answered, instead she just leaped off the table and ran towards him for a tackle. He dodged easy enough and grabbed the gloves off the table just in time to block another tackle aimed at him. She's gotten faster already! I may get a hearty workout from her this time. And that he did, constantly on his toes and blocking her attacks all the while both of them were smiling. Neither of them like fighting but for some reason sparring with someone trusted was rather enjoyable.

They were at it for some time, much longer than last time, then Dylia felt happen what she was waiting for. Suddenly she used a quick attack and shot between Jim's legs. He tried to spin to block her attack but she trailed behind him as he turned and used bite on his tail near the base, "YEOUCH!!! OW OW OW! Ok you win this round! Just let go!"

With a content smile Dylia let go and sat down on the ground in front of Jim but dodged when he tried to grab her. She was laughing as he chased her around the exercise yard and out onto the field behind his house. Jim couldn't use quick attack so every time he got close she would just wind up slipping away from him. Finally he noticed her starting to tire out and tried one last time to catch her but she was ready for him and did one last tackle attack, knocking him off balance and making him land on his back with Dylia sitting content on his chest.

"Ok... I get the point, you're a lot stronger already. Ow, I think you left a bruise with that last one," he smiled and scratched Dylia between the ears getting a content purr in response. "I wonder how much longer until you "" he didn't even have a chance to finish his sentence when she was enveloped in a bright light. He stopped scratching her head as she grew in size and just stared at the new person on his chest.

Dylia had her eyes closed the whole time so she didn't even realize she had evolved. When he stopped scratching her ears she opened her eyes and looked... down at him? She thought for a second he was holding her up but noticed both his hands, one was over his mouth the other was shakily reaching out to her. His expression wasn't very comforting either; she looked around and didn't see anything wrong until she noticed her lavender tail which was split at the end and it dawned on her... she was an Espeon now.

She was about to jump about in joy but remembered seeing Jim's hurt and shocked expression just a second ago and looked back to him, "Jim? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

Jim looked like he was about to cry and was having a hard time speaking, "Is... Is that really you?" Dylia just looked at him confused until he continued, "Xegony?"

Xegony, why does that suddenly sound familiar... oh my goodness, Aunty Xee! I forgot her real name was Xegony! I must look just like her! "Jim... it's me, Dylia..."

"Dylia? ...oh god I'm so sorry. I just--"

"Shush, Jim. It's okay. I think I know what's going on. Let us just get back to the house for now." Dylia just stepped off his chest and started to nudge him in the shoulder trying to get him up.

Jim made a questioning glance towards her, "Oh? Really now? Care to enlighten me on your own enlightenment?"

"Maayyybeeee... but first I want to double check something and I need a mirror for that," she hadn't realized just how far out they had ran off until she looked back to the house which was rather small in the distance. Jim was still laying on the ground, "oh COME ON JIM! I want to get back to the house! What if Claire gets out of the shower and can't find us!"

"Well I do know that Claire usually takes 45 minute showers but we have been out a while. May as well head back I guess."

Dylia just cocked an eyebrow as he stood up. 45 minute showers? For a fire type she sure likes the water. She was more concerned with his depressed state than how long a fire type stays in the shower though. She knew it would take some time before her psychic abilities would be honed enough to try getting into anyone's mind without hurting them in the process. She got a little practice on the rattata that were randomly hiding out in the field though much to their dismay and grief. GROSS! I really shouldn't be reading the minds of perverts...and if I ever find THAT ONE I'm going to kill him. She glanced angrily at one rattata she could see in the distance looking her way that panicked and ran off.

Jim however was thankful that being a dark type has made him practically immune to psychic abilities. Mainly because his mind kept going back to his days with his old mate. Once they got back to the house Dylia ran quickly to the half bathroom at the end of the hall to look in the mirror where her thoughts were confirmed. She looked almost exactly like her Aunt Xee, down to the green eyes and blue gem on her forehead. With a sigh she walked out and looked for Jim, who had forgotten that Claire was taking a shower and laid down on his bed. She hopped up on the bed and looked down at him, "Jim, I know who Xegony is now. She's ""

The water to the shower had turned off, "Ahhh, that was refreshing." Jim and Dylia turned to watch a ball of steam walk out of the bathroom and to the foot of the bed to shift through her bag. The steam slowly faded away as the water in Claire's fur evaporated, leaving a very naked Claire standing there paying no attention to the two on the bed. She pulled a dress out of the bag that was sapphire blue and made of silk before slipping it on, noticing the Espeon watching her from the bed finally, "Oh, hello there... where did you come from?" She couldn't even see Jim in the dark room.

Jim and Dylia both started laughing after looking at each other, making Claire realize she just got dressed in front of the two. She wouldn't have been embarrassed if it was just Jim but she didn't know who this Espeon was. She was starting to make the connection though.

Dylia whispered something to Jim before turning back to Claire, "It's Dylia, silly!"

"Dylia? Wait... what? I wasn't in the shower THAT long was I?" A glance at the clock told her 42 minutes, normal for her but apparently long enough for something to happen. "How did you evolve so fast?!"

"Not tellin'!" Dylia just stuck out her tongue and tried not to laugh.

"ugh, fine. You guys make anything for breakfast yet?"

Jim was the one with a retort this time, "you know, if you would quit raising your body temperature like that you wouldn't get hungry as much!"

"your point? It keeps me thin and its quicker than a blow drier! Besides, you know how much I hate being cold and wet."

"fine fine, I'll go make some eggs and hash browns then. I'm a little hungry after this morning's exercises anyways." Dylia's belly growled in agreement with his last statement, "and no I won't let you have any Twinkies for breakfast!"

This got a groan out of both Dylia and Claire as Jim got up to fix some breakfast. Soon they could hear him chopping and peeling potatoes in the kitchen, "So Dylia, penny for your thoughts?"

"Eh? Oh its nothing, really. How'd you sleep anyways?"

"Not bad, but it could have been better. Though if you wouldn't mind going for a walk after breakfast I would like to talk to you about a couple things while Jim works."

"Oh? Should I be worried?"

"No no! Of course not! There was just a couple things I wanted to ask Jim about but I wanted your advice on the matter before I brought it to him."

"Oh... well then we'll take a walk after breakfast and chat. I have a few questions for you as well."

Jim called out from the kitchen, "breakfast is done girls! Come get some before its cold or eaten!"

Claire snickered, "he said 'come get some'..."

"hah hah Claire, just get out here and eat, didn't you say you were hungry?"

In unison both girls called back out to him, "Coming!"
