#13 of My Pokemon stories


Hello guys!

It feels good to finally be able to post a new sumission here. I sorry for taking so terribly long, but I'm really busy these days. You know...school and other stuffs, blah blah blah...

*Anyway, I'm back, with another m/m story, pokemon again. I appologize if you find my genre boring (I also kinda get bored of it, too), so next time I'll try something different. For now, I just hope that you'll enjoy it. *

Until we meet again! =^-^=


It was another typical stormy day.

Even though it was early in the morning, the sky was filled with dark clouds. Water was pouring down constantly from above. The virgorous wind howled and slashed against any solid object. Lightnings occasionally flashed across the sky, accompanied by ear-slitting thunder.

...

"Dad, how long will it keep raining?" asked a young boy, around 16~17 years old, from his room. The boy had an avarage body build, with short, untidy blond hair, very bright sea green eyes, and a very sly expression that was always masking his face, which made him look rather attractive.

"I don't know, Luke. The weather forecast has been updating news about this storm for a few days, and they said it would be over in 'bout one or two more days." Luke's father - Paul, replied from the kitchen, as he sipped some of his morning coffee. Paul was a famous pokemon professor of the region, and also a sucessful bussinessman. As for his apperance, Paul was an older verson of Luke, with a more serious look and a tidy, averagely long, blond hair.

"Two days? What da hell?!!! I can't take this anymore!" said Luke, fuming, "Because of this fucking storm, I'm stuck in the house for all day, and I'm starting to die from boredoom! I want to get the hell outta here!...Arggg!"

"Will you keep it down, Luke?" said Paul exasperatedly, "I'm trying to enjoy my coffee here, and I can still hear you despite the thunder out there."

That kind of reply only added insult to injury, but Luke didn't dare to argue with his father, because he sensed a hint of frustation in Paul's voice. Luke had crossed the lines once while talking to Paul, and thinking about that time still sent chills through his spine. Sighing in disappointment, Luke walked over the window and looked outside. There was a garden in his father's villa, with a wonderful pool that Luke always liked to swim in. He looked outside the garden, wishing that the rain would stop soon, but his eyes twiched as he noticed something under one of the coconut trees on the garden's left corner. Curious, Luke rubbed the glasses on his window to have a better view, and looked at that coconut tree again, only to discover that there was an unconcious pokemon laying there.

Without a second thought, Luke rushed out of his room. He ran towards the house's back door, almost knocked Paul off his feet when he passed the kitchen.

"Hey, where are you going, Luke?" asked (more more precisely, yelled) Paul, "It's still raining out there!"

Much to Paul's displease, Luke completely ignored him. Kicking the back door open, Luke ran his eyes around the garden hysterically, his vision was blurred because of the pouring water, but he managed to find the tree. Now, Luke had a better view of the pokemon he was trying to save.

It was a small, bipedal pokemon with most of its body covered in orange fur. It had a long tail, with a small flame burning at the end of the tip, although the flame was dying slowly. Though not being a professor, Luke knew what this meant...

Without wasting any second, Luke held the pokemon tightly in his arms, trying his best to keep it warm. He shouted, "Help me, dad! I need two towels!"

"What happened?" asked Paul. He was standing at the back door when he saw his son running into the house, towards his room, carrying a pokemon, "Wait, is that a Monferno? How in the world?"

"I'll explain later, but hurry up and get me two towels. Hurry, dad!" shouted Luke

One minute later, Paul came into Luke's room, carrying two towels. Luke had already changed his clothes. Paul then watched as his son proceed to dry Monferno's body with a towel, then wrap the the other towel around the pokemon's body to keep it warm. Paul was rather surprised to see how gentle Luke was. He'd never known about the existance of his son's soft side. Spending years after years doing research had turned Paul into an insensitive person, but not until now that he truly realized it.

The first-aid Luke gave Monferno proved to be effective. The flame at the tip of its tail became hotter, brighter, and eventually, the pokemon slowly opened its eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Monferno drowsily when he noticed the strange surroundings, a towel wrapped around him and a human - Luke, staring at him, "W-where am I?"

Normally, one should be freaked out when he woke up, surrounded by strangers and didn't know where the hell he was, but somehow, Monferno found it peaceful when he looked into the boy's sea green eyes. At the same time, an unsual sensation started to lit up in his heart, something that he'd never been feeling before, nor knowing how to describe it.

"My name is Luke, and you're in my room." replied Luke softly.

"How did I get here?" asked Monferno.

"I found you in my garden, so I brought you here," explained Luke, "Can you tell me what happened to you? How did you ended up there?"

"I don't know," said Monferno. "I remembered being chased by a human, then that human sent out a pokemon to attack me. I tried to run as fas as I could, but one of the attacks hit me. I couldn't last much longer, I needed a place to hide, and..."

Luke's mind was working relentlessly to put Monferno's words to correct orders: Being chased by a human with a pokemon (Properly a trainer, he thought) à Getting hit by an attack à Trying to find a place to hide.

"I see," said Luke, "Now, how are you feeling?"

"Tired, hungry, sleepy and...ouch!" groaned Monferno, his left hand rubbing his right elbow.

"Let me see," said Paul as he walked to Monferno. He carefully lifted the pokemon's right arm (Monferno winced softly) and examined it throughoutly, tbefore coming up with the conclusion, "You're lucky that none of the bones was broken, but your muscles had been severely torn...This kind of wound is easy to cure. I will give you some medical treatments, but it will hurt a bit at first."

"You are free to go after your wound is healed, but in the meantime, I think you should stay here," added Luke with a soft smile, "Oh, I almost forgot that you are hungry. Now lay down and sleep, I will make you something to eat. What would you like?"

"Well, I..." stammered Monferno, his face getting red and hot as he looked at Luke, "Anything hot, please..."

"Got it!" smiled Luke smugly and stomped off.

Monferno focused his vision one last time as he watched Luke walked out of the room. He tried to memorize every single detail of the boy's handsome face: His untidy blond hair, his brilliant sea green eyes, his straight nose, his lips...Everything about Luke made Monferno's heart tremble. He sighed and closed his eyes, letting the sheer exhaustion take over...

(Three years later)

"Infernap, can you pass me the orange juice?" said a handsome youngster. He was sitting in the kitchen of his house, munching down a plate of French toast and scrambled eggs.

Sitting next to the youngster was a pokemon, an Infernape, who was also having toasts and scrambled eggs. He grabbed the bottle of orange juice and hanged it to the young man, "Here you go, master."

"Again...How many times have I told you? Get over with that 'master' stuff. I have a name, don't I? It's Luke, and I want you to call me that." said Luke with a smug grin as he took the bottle, "Thanks, by the way."

Infernape blushed as he touched Luke's hand. It always happened whenever he made physical contact with Luke. A hug, a stroke, or just even a simple touch could easily bring heat to his face. Infernape hadn't been able to explain in the past, but now he knew.

Who was he, again?

He was the same Monferno that Luke found in his garden three years ago. Luke's father treated his wounds, and after the pokemon had recovered, Luke offered to let him return to the wild. But Monferno had different thoughts. After a week of having been nursed by Luke, Monferno didn't want to be apart from the boy anymore.

What did Luke do? Of course he accepted Monferno's request. He had gotten extremely bored of having to live in a big but empty house, with the only company being a father that was always busy and all. He wanted to take care of Monferno like a big brother, as it made him feel more mature and responsible.

Time passed, and Monferno had eventually envolved into an Infernape. Luke wasn't too happy about this. Sure, he knew evolution was a good thing, and it was inevitable, but still...he missed the small, playful and adorable Monferno. He missed the feeling of holding the little guy in his arms, teaching him stuffs that human normally did, and playing pranks on him. With Infernap, things had gotten really, really...different.

He wasn't so 'little' anymore. Standing almost as tall as Luke, Infernape was a very powerful, muscular pokemon; a skilled fighter, with a vigorous flame on his head, in place of hair. The slyness had completely vanished from his face, replaced by a fiercely seriousness, sometimes made him look rather intimidating.

And the pokemon's apperance wasn't the only thing that had changed, as Luke noticed. His personality had also went throught a complete make-over, in a negative way. Infernape had became more silent, more...mysterious, as though he was trying to isolate himself. It made Luke worry, and even though he had tried to spend more time with Infernape, he had yet to discovered the cause of his friend's strange behaviors.

"That was delicious!" said Luke satisfyingly as he putted his dishes into the dishwasher. He looked Infernape, who had almost finished with his breakfast as well, but still eating it very, very slowly, as though he was stalking for time. It was a rather annoying sight to look at, and Luke decided to put an end to it. He quietly snuck behind Infernape and wrapped his arm around the fierce monkey's shoulder, cleaning his throat, "Enjoying yourself?"

"Mmmph!!!" came a muffled yelp from the fighting pokemon as he choked on a piece of toast. Infernape quickly spitted the toast out and rubbed his chest, his face burning intensely hot as he realized Luke was standing right behind him, with an arm around his shoulder. Not turning around, Infernape stammered, "S-Something wrong, mas...I meant, Luke?"

"Something wrong?" said Luke mockingly, "Gee, I dunno...It takes less time for a Turtwig to finish those toasts than a fighting monkey with a flame burning on his head. And you asked me something wrong, Infernape? Come on, you're smarter than that!"

"I...I'm sorry," whispered Infernape apologically, blushing crimson out of embarassment, "It's...the toasts was just so delicious, and I wanted to...uhm, take time enjoying it."

"Che, for crying out loud! Another excuse?" said Luke, and, to Infernape's surprise, the young man grabbed his shoulder and turned him around roughly, so Infernape was now face-to-face with Luke.

"What are you doing?", asked Infernap loudly. Luke responded by sticking his index finger in front of Infernape and waving it, "Ah, ah, ah...Don't_say another word. You always make excuses. Everytime I want to go out with you, you make one. Everytime I want to play video games with you, you make one. Everytime I want to _talk to you, you make one...Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Are you trying to avoid me or something?"

"No, I.." the fighting pokemon began, but Luke cut him off again, "Tell you what: I'm sick of your excuses! Today is your last chance. Another excuse, and you're outta here! Now listen! I'll be at the Pokemon Center in thirty minutes to do some voluntary works, and I want you to go with me, got it?"

"Y-yes! Please, just give me time to prepare..." stammered Infernape. Satisfied with his friend's reaction, Luke grinned and loosened the grip on the pokemon's shoulder. Infernape panted heavily, as though he had just been choked nearly to dead. Blushing, Infernape turned around and ran off, leaving a trail of dust behind him.

"Stupid monkey! What's he up to now? Putting on some kinds of make up or what?" muttered Luke, "Oh well, I need to change my clothes too."

Infernape kicked the door of his room shutted with such a force that he'd almost knocked it off its frame. The intense amount of heat on his cheek made Infernape think he was going to set himself on fire just by blushing like this!

Ever since he envolved, Infernape had always tried to keep the distance between him and Luke, but he hadn't expected him to...make a move this early. Just now, if he hadn't been able to control himself, or Luke had held him a bit longer, Infernape couldn't imagine what would have happened?!

Luke'd always thought that Infernape had changed drastically ever since the pokemon envolved, but ironically, he was silly enough to ignore his own 'evolution'. He had grown a lot taller, a lot more muscular (he worked out at the gym five times a week). Luke's sly and cheerful expression, as he had always been wearing, had become a lot more masculine and attractive, to the point that he could easily melt the heart of any lucky girl by just smiling at her.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Infernape was also a victim of his friend's manly charm. It hadn't taken much time for the pokemon to realize he had been hopelessly in love with Luke ever since the moment he set eyes on the boy. Of course Infernape kept this secret for himself. He wasn't sure if Luke would come to accept his feelings or not. As friends, they could be with each other, but lovers...

Now, Luke had him in a corner, and there was no way Infernape could get away with this. The only thing Infernape could do, was to hope that he would be able to control himself, so nothing bad would happen.

They walked to the Pokemon Center together in silence. Either both of them knew anything to say, or they was just afraid of starting another awkward conversation.

However, it turned out that Infernape had worried a bit too much, because nothing wrong happened. Luke just simply came to the Pokemon Center to help with the chores, and give some useful tips and advises to a few kids in town who wished to become trainers. Thus, Infernape didn't have much to do, so he took his time admiring Luke's works.

~ A few hours later ~

"That was great, wasn't it?" asked Luke.

"It sure was. I'm glad you asked me to go with you." replied Infernape, nodding. The pokemon sighed in relief, feeling glad that nothing wrong had happened, and now that he was relaxed, he gained the confidence to talk to Luke normally.

"See! That's all I've been trying to show you...You can't just stay in the same place forever. You need to go out, get some sunlight and have some fun." said Luke, grinning, "Now let's get home and take a nice shower, then I will-..."

Infernape nodded, but noticed that Luke had suddenly spaced out. He asked concernedly, "What gives, Luke?"

Luke didn't respond. Instead, he pointed his index finger shakily at something. Infernape looked at that direction, and realized what was bothering his friend.

The gate of their house, it was opened, slightly, but still opened...

"No way!" muttered Luke. "That gate is locked by a complex security system my dad personally designed, and there're only two persons know the password to open it..."

"You said it yourself. What if it was your father?" Infernape suggested.

"Did you forget that my dad has been at Celestial town for three weeks to do his research? And he will always give a call, or at least an email if he's coming back." said Luke dryly.

"Then..."

"Someone must have broken into our house, and whoever that person was, he definitely had bad intents." said Luke nervously, not taking his eyes off the gate.

"What should we do now?" asked Infernape.

"Go in there, find the curpit and capture that bastard. In case he put up a resistance, then...you still remember those fancy moves we practiced last week, don't you?"

Infernape nodded firmly, which made Luke feel a lotbetter. The fighting pokemon had always been so reliable when it came to these kinds of situation.

Luke and Infernape crept towards, using hand motions as signals. Just As Luke had guessed earlier, the front doors were also opened, so he and Infernape went to a nearby window. They hid in a bush and peeped into the house.

The living room was a mess. The couch, the sofa, the coffee table and every single chair were moved disorderly. The bookshelves were emptied, and scattered on the floor were numerous books, documents, papers, as if a hurricane had just passed by!

It didn't take long for Luke to find out who the curpits were. Standing in the middle of the room was two men, wearing some kind of weird, grey and white, spacesuit-looking outfits. There was a gold, modified "G' letter imprinted on their chests. They were about 26~28 year-old, one had red hairs, and the other had black.

"Connor, you idiot! I told you it wasn't here, yet you didn't listen. What kind of a professor would keep important files in a stupid place like the living room!" yelled the guy whose hairs were red, his face were masked with exertion and disappointment.

"Who knows? I thought professors liked to keep their important things in places that normal people didn't expect." replied the other guy, now Connor half-heartedly, "No need to be rash, Travis. We have loads of time."

"Let's just find those fucking papers and get outta here!" growled Travis, "I don't understand why boss is so concerned about those so-called legendary pokemon? As long as we get tons of money, those legendaries could be stuffed animals for all I care!"

Connor didn't bother to reply. He simply shrugged.

If this had been a normal day, Luke would have laughed at those two because of their rediculous fashion style, but he knew it just wasn't the time to play around, because, more than anyone else, Luke understood the severity of the situation.

Those two, Connor and Travis, they were members of Team Galatic. Luke recognized them, for Paul had mentioned them before. A criminal group that abused and used pokemon ilegally. All members of Team Galatic were wanted for abucting wealthy people and their families for huge ransoms. They were also rumored to be responsible for the disapperance of several pokemon professors, but their true goal had yet to be discovered.

Nevertheless, Luke knew what they were here for. Recently, his father had been doing research about legendary pokemon in Sinnoh, and the myth about their connection with the creation of the universe. Clearly, Team Galatic were up to something evil, and if they got their filthy hands on Paul's documents, Sinnoh, or even the whole world would be in great jeopardy.

Luke's eyes drifted to Connor's belt, and his heart skipped a beat. Of course there were a few pokeballs attached to his belt, and as if it hadn't been bad enough, on the left side of the belt was a hosler, in which was a handgun - a Colt 1911 pistol. Luke didn't even have to guess, Travis also had a pistol. Great, not only they had to deal with two evil, greedy thugs, but they also had to deal with two armed thugs!

Suddenly, Luke noticed that he was staring at Infernape. Luke knew he and Infernape would be in a life-threatening situation if they engaged in a fight with the thugs. He didn't want to die, nor that he wanted to lose Infernape. His father were right. Only when you was about to lose something that you knew how precious it was to you.

Trembling and sweating heavily, Luke gestured Infernape to get closer to him. He placed a hand on the pokemon's shoulder and looked into his blue eyes, "Listen to me carefully, Infernape. Those two," he jerked his head slightly at Travis and Connor, "They are bad people, and they are about to steal one of my dad's precious possessions. If they succeed, this world, innocent people and pokemon will be in great danger.

"They have to be stopped, but it will be dangerous. They both have handguns. Either you, me or in the worst case, both of us, could die..."

"I don't want to die, but I don't want to lose you either, Infernape. If we're really going to die, then I'd rather go with you. I don't want to be left alone...Please tell me...Should I go in there and fight them?" added Luke as he finished his sentence, a tear escaped from the corner of his eyes.

Infernape's heart trembled, and he'd almost shed tears of happy, because he noticed the sincerity and despair in Luke's voice. Luke was afraid of losing him, and more importantly, Luke had even claimed that he'd rather die than living without him - That was the ultimate proof, of how important Infernape was, to him. Infernape, himself, was also a little afraid at first, but now, having heard those words from Luke gave him more courage than ever, and the pokemon knew he must do the same thing for Luke.

"I know you're afraid, because I am, too. But now isn't the time to run away. If all you said is correct, then everything is up to us now. You have to be strong, for the others, for your father...and for me. Beside, you're not alone. I'm right here, and I'll go with you until the end!" Infernape encouraged, both gently and determinately, his blue eyes looking deep into the human's.

Luke found himself spacing out for a while, as if he was dreaming, and then, like an alarm had suddenly ran off, he jerked his head and shook it roughly

"You're right! I'm sorry for being such a coward," said Luke firnly, but his voice then softened, "Thank you, Infernape, for giving me courage."

The fighting pokemon couldn't help but blushed furiously. Thankfully, Luke didn't notice it.

"But still, it would be suicide go straight in there," continued Luke, "We need some sort of plan."

"Already had one. You said they were about to steal something, right? (Luke nodded) Do you know where your father keeps that thing?" asked Infernape, to which Luke replied with another nod. "Good, then please do as I say: Use the backdoor to enter the house; find whatever those two are looking for, and destroy it; call anyone for help; and find somewhere to hide. I'll distract those guys for you. I'll call you when it's okay to come out; but if you don't hear anything after 15 minutes, then get hell outta there as fast as you can, okay?"

"Wait...What do you meant 'if not'? No...Didn't you say...you would be with me until the end? How can I leave you to die?"

"You have to. Now go, we won't have much time!" said Infernape, and to make sure Luke couldn't say, or do anything to protest any further, he jumped out of the bush in which they were hiding and headed for the front doors.

When Infernape entered the house, the two Galactic had already left the living room, but the pokemon had no problems locating them, because he could actually hear their's talking from one of the rooms. Leaning against the wall, Infernape crept down the hallway, heading to the source of the voice, which led to Paul's bedroom.

Travis and Connor were still searching for whatever-they-were-going-to-steal. Of course they made a mess out of Paul's bedroom, just like the living room.

Infernape quickly analyzed the situation. The room was small and rather too empty, that meant it would be risky to fight them in there. He needed to lure them to a place where he could easily take advantages.

Travis and Connor were still looking for Paul's documents when they heard a strange crashing sound coming from the living room.

"What the hell was that?" asked Travis, his hands rummaging in a drawer.

"How am I supposed to know. Wait...didn't boss say the house owner lived together with his son? Could it be..." replied Connor flatly. His voice didn't contain fear, only an unsual hint boredom, his hand fiddling his pistol.

"So much for 'we have loads of time', huh?" scolded Travis, "You go check it out, and if necessary, get rid of that brat."

"What? Why me?"

"Then who? I know you've been waiting for ages to use that little toy ya got there." said Travis, his lips curled into a wicked sneer.

Connor smirked. Even though he found Travis rash, annoying and greedy, they actually worked well together, because Travis understood him more than anyone else

When Connor got into the living room, he ran his eyes around to find the source of the strange noise. It didn't take long. On the floor was a broken crystal jar, but who broke it, Connor didn't see, which confused him.

"Looking for me?" out of nowhere, came a creepy whisper, making Connor jolt and turn around. However, before Connot could reach for either his pistol or pokeballs, he had already felt a sharp pain at his abdomen, delivered by a fierce punch from Infernape.

The fighting pokemon took the chance while Connor was holding his belly and screaming in argony, delivered another jaw-shaking uppercut, sending the Galactic thug flying backwards. Connor landed on the floor with a loud thud, unconscious.

Upon hearing his partner's scream, Travis rushed out from the bedroom, this time already had the Colt 1911 in his hand. The second he set his eyes on Infernape and the unconcious Connor, Travis immediately understood the situation.

"Why you little..." growled Travis as he pulled the trigger. The bullet, fortunately, missed its target. However, it did leave some marks - a small scratch and a dizzle of blood on Infernape's left arm.

He aimed for the second shot, but this time, Infernape was faster. With his amazing speed, the pokemon jumped over and landed right in front of Travis. Using a mighty roundhouse kick, Infernape knocked the the pistol out of Travis' hand.

And he was nowhere nearly done. While Travis was still paralyzed by confusion, Infernape's fist glowed light blue and he delivered the final blow to Travis, using his favourite attack - The Mach Punch. All Travis could see was a blurred flash, and the next thing he knew (well, not exactly 'knew'), he was knocked out-cold.

"Ain't so tough, are we?" muttered Infernape. He hadn't thought taking care of the two Galactic would be this easy. Now all he needed to do was to call Luke out of his hiding place, wherever it was.

"Hey, Luke! Are you still in the house? It's okay to come out now!"

It was rather nerve-racking, having to hide in a dark place and await your fate, so when Luke heard Infernape's voice, he felt like an overwhelming burden had been lifted from his shoulder. He dashed out of his father's study room, making a mental note to never enter that place again.

Luke's eyes beamed when he entered the living room, seeing the Galactic laying on the ground while Infernape was almost unharmed, only had little scratch on his left arm.

"I've called the police and the Pokemon Center. They said reinforcements will be here in about ten minutes." said Luke cheerfully as he approached the smiling Infernape. His eyes then drifted to the bleeding scratch on the fighting pokemon's arm, "You okay? Does it hurt?"

"No biggie!" said Infernape. The scratch, it did sting a bit, but to Infernape, it was no different from being bitten by an ant. Beside, when he noticed at Luke's sparking eyes, looking at him in awe and admiration, Infernape felt a funny urge to act tough and almighty.

Unfortunately, both of them overlooked the situation. Being so concerned about each other, neither Luke or Infernape came to notice that there was another 'conscious' person in the room. Guess who?

Today must have been the worst day in both Luke's and Infernape's life. When he delivered that uppercut to Connor, the fighting pokemon couldn't imagine that somehow, the Galactic thug would recover, and wake up so quickly, and Infernape was about to pay dearly for it.

"You...brats! This time, I'll...fucking kill you!" muttered Connor. He pretended to lay still, but his hand'd already reached for his pistol.

At this point, Infernape still failed to notice what the Galactic was about to do. Connor pointed the gun at the fighting pokemon and pulled the trigger. When Infernape heard the sudden 'BANG', he turned around, only to have his eyes widen in shock. Every single one of muscles also seemed to be petrified, as if they were telling him, 'It's too late! You're a goner!"

It might be too late for Infernape, but it wasn't to someone else. And by 'someone else', or course it could only mean Luke.

Seeing his friend in grave danger, Luke's body acted by its own. He grabbed Infernape's shoulder and roughly spun both of them around, that meant instead of the pokemon, the target of Connor's bullet was now...

All Infernape could see was a flash. The next thing he knew; warm, crimson blood was splattering all over the place; and Luke - the most important person in his life, the one he could easily die for, lifelessly falling into his arms.

"Luke...Luke!!!" Infernape cried out in despair, looking at the motionless figure in his arms. Blood was pouring out constantly from the human's wound, painting the floor crimson and adding fuel to the flame of wrath that the pokemon's soul itself. Glaring death at Connor with tearful eyes, Infernape growled, "You bastard! How DARE you!!!"

Even from the distance, Connor could sense the unmistakable murderous aura radiate from Infernape. He moved his handgun, trying to shoot Infernape again, but this time, he didn't even get the chance to touch the trigger, because a foot had already landed heavily on his wrist, almost crushing it in the process. An immense spark of pain ran through Connor's arm, forcing him to let go of the pistol in his hand. The punishment didn't cease there. Before Connor even realized it, his arms had already been pinned down by Infernape's knees as the pokemon straddled him.

"Go. To. Hell!" said Infernape coldly, emphasazing the last word. He then went completely berserk and unleashed a series of Mach Punches at Connor's face.

Infernape was merciless. Even though blood was oozing nonstop from both Connor's mouth and nose, the pokemon showed no signs of ceasing. Connor wanted desperately to plea for his life, but he never got the chance. The shower of punches had already made him pass out, and if this kept up, he would, without the slightest doubt, pass away!

The brutal beating continued for a few minutes and still, no signs of stopping. Lucky for Connor, when Infernape's fury seemed to reach its climax, and just one more blow from the pokemon would put an end to his filthy life; came a weak, shaky but familiar voice from behind, making Infernape calm down instantly.

"Infernape...P-please, don't...kill him..." Luke tried to yell, but all he could manage was a whisper, a barely audible whisper. Nevertheless, it _did_help. Infernape immediately let loose of the unconscious Connor and ran to his friend. Kneeling down, he gently craddled Luke with his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Why did you do it? Why did you have to cover for me?" asked Infernape, his tears dripping onto Luke's face.

"Because we're friends. If it were you...you would do the same thing for me...right?"

"Yes, but..." stammered Infernape, his voice choking with tears. Luke simply smiled and wiped those tears away from Infernape's cheek with his hand, "Silly, don't cry. The Infernape I know doesn't cry. He's strong, very strong..."

"You are silly! You really shouldn't have done that..." Infernape sniffed.

"Heh...Alright, but at least...at least you're okay..." said Luke, "You're my best friend, so promise me one thing...If I really couldn't make it, then please, take care of my dad. Protect him...As long as those bad guys are out there, he will always be in danger..."

"No, you will make it..." shouted Infernape. "You can't die, because I...I've always loved you! I love you, Luke! Please, stay with me!"

Unfortunately, due to his lost of blood, all of Luke's senses were downcast. All the sounds around him suddenly turned into bluzzing noises, and his vision started to become blurry. The light is vanishing, only to be replaced by darkness...cold, unforgiving darkness.

Is it really the end for me? Luke vaguely thought.

...

Luke wasn't sure where he was, but he found himself walking on a seemingly endless road. For all Luke remembered, vuguely, he had been shot while trying to protect his friend Infernape. As the result, he'd lost a great deal of blood, and then, everything slowly turned into darkness.

"Am I...dead?" Luke asked himself. It might sound sarcastic, but really creepy at the same time. What if he really were dead?

"No, you can't die!"

"Who was that?" Luke spun around, but there wasn't anyone around. However, he could regconized that familiar voice - Infernape's voice, "Is that you, Infernape?"

"You can't die, Luke, because...because I've always loved you! I love you, so please, stay with me!"

...

*Gasped* "What the hell was that?"

Luke sat up from the bed, ignoring the pounding headache, his dried-off tongue and an incredibly aching pain on his back. He shaked his head softly, trying to subdue the headache and focus his blurred vision.

"So you finally decided to wake up, huh?" came a sudden voice.

Luke turned his head to the source of the voice. Sitting on the left cornor of the room with his arms crossed, was a familiar figure, who was looking at him with strict, yet warming eyes.

"Dad! I thought you were..." asked Luke, but Pau cut him off with a teasing smile, "You thought I was still in Celestial Town, after my son had been shot nearly to dead. I might not be a good professor, but I am not that bad of a father, right?"

"Yeah, you ain't." Luke muttered, "So what happened?"

"Well, you passed out and were hospitalized. You lost a lot of blood, but the doctors said it wasn't fatal. Also, there was a bullet stuck in your back, so they had to perform a surgery to take it out." said Paul, "Any other questions?"

"One," asked Luke, "Aren't I supposed to be in the hospital?"

"Tenically, yes," smiled Paul, "But I thought it would be more comfortable for you to rest here, so I asked for the doctors' permittion to let you stay at home. Beside, it will also be more convenient for me to look after you."

"Gee, thanks dad." said Luke, but Paul missed the sarcasm.

"Ah, that's really nice, but don't thanks me, thanks Infernape." said Paul as he jerked his head slightly.

"Eh?" Luke muttered as he saw the fighting pokemon, snoring quitely right next to him. Infernape was sitting on a chair, head resting on his folded arms, at the edge of the beg.

For instant, Luke remembered the words Infernape had said to him in his dream, and his face suddenly turned crimson. Even though Luke knew was a dream, but those words...they seemed so real, so familiar, just like he'd heard them before.

"He must have worried so much about you," said Paul, "When you were hospitalized, he wouldn't leave your side for a second. The idea of taking you home was also his..."

The only source of light in the room was a small night lamp, thus Paul was too busy narranting his story, so he completely missed the glowing, crimson tint on Luke's cheek.

"...No matter how many times I'd told him to get some rest, he just kept sitting there and staring at you. *Sighed* It's been six days." Paul added, shaking his head.

"Six days?"

"Yeah," Paul replied, "Oh well, since you've waken up, I presume you are in a good shaft, and you'll fully recover soon, properly tomorrow. Now lay down and have some sleep. I'm off to to my room. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Luke waited until his father had left the room. He then turned his attention to Infernape, and his lips curved into a soft smile. Gently caressing the sleeping pokemon's back with his hand, Luke whispered, "Thank you too, Infernape...Tomorrow, we'll have a lot to talk about."

~ The next morning ~

As usual, the first thing Infernape did after having waken up was to look at the bed, to check if Luke had awaken or not. However, today, the bed was empty. Panicked, he ran his eyes frantically around the room, trying to search for his missing friend and still, Luke was nowhere to be found.

"W-where could he have gone?" Infernape thought, unaware that he was speaking it aloud.

What happened next was unexpected by Infernape. First, a creaking sound, properly from a door's being opened, and next came Luke, walking into the room with a tray of food. "Morning, Infernape," Luke grinned as he set the tray on a small coffee table, "Looking for someone?"

"I, I..." Infernape stammered. He'd almost shreded tears of joy. He missed them so much: That familiar voice, that cheerful smile. He wanted, just to run over there and embrace Luke with all of his strength. Days after days, he'd been sitting at the same place place, waiting desperately for Luke to wake up. And now, Luke was standing right there, smiling with him...No words could describe such happiness!

"What's the matter?" asked Luke, "Nevermind, we'll talk about that later. You must be hungry.. Here, come join me and have breakfast."

Infernape blushed when he noticed that Luke was intentionally emphasized the word 'join'. What could he mean by that? Thus, why had he made it sound so...flirtatious?

However, he was indeed very hungry, and today breakfast happened to be his favourite: Omelette rice with plenty of home-made chilli sauce. The fragant, yet intoxicating aroma had triggered the hunger within him, making Infernape's belly growl furiously. Oh well, let eat first! I'll never be able to think, or do anything precisely with an empty stomach! He thought.

At first, Infernape found the omelette rice extremely delicious, properly because he was hungry, and he was eating together with Luke again. However, as time passed, Infernape (how to out this) sensed that something was utterly wrong. Luke appeared to be his normal self, too normal for a person who had been shot just a few days ago. Didn't he remember anything? _Anything_Infernape had told him when he passed out.

"What's the matter? You're spacing out again," asked Luke, "Does the food taste bad?"

"No, it's very delicious, but...", stammered Infernape, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"When did you wake up?" Infernape began. Luke grinned and rubbed his forehead, "Last night. I woke up and found you sleeping right next to me. I was about to call you, but you looked rather cute while sleeping, so I stopped, heheh..."

Infernape's face became almost as red as the chilli sauce in his rice. Really now? More than three years of being with him, and this was the first time Luke had complimented Infernape this way.Cute??? Something is definitely wrong! Infernape thought nervously.

"Paul was there too," added Luke, "He told me everything happened after I was shot. How I was hospitalized, and how you just stayed by my side all the time...Thank you, for caring so much for me!"

"No, I just..." stammered Infernape. As this point, he was blushing so red that you couldn't tell either it was his face or a tomato. Luke grinned to himself, knowing that the chance had come for him to make his move. Leaning forwards, Luke whispered into the blushing pokemon's ears, almost in a seductive way, "What's wrong? Is there something important you want to tell me?"

Infernape shock his head fanatically. He just couldn't figure out what Luke was trying to do, and the tension was stressing him so much. Instinctively, the pokemon stood up from his chair and started to move backwards, but Luke wasn't going to let him go that easily. The more Infernape stepped back, the more Luke stepped forth. And before Infernape could realize it, he was laying on the bed, with Luke standing atop and both his arms at either of his sides.

"Now," Luke began, staring into Infernape's blue eyes, "For the last time, are you sure that you don't have anything to tell me?"

Infernape murmured something inaudible and tried to turned his head away to avoid the human's piercing stare. Luke knew Infernape was still having troubles speaking, so he decided to give the pokemon one last push. Gently, he cupped Infernape's face with his right hand, making the pokemon look directly as him. Luke also lowered his head until their noses almost touched each other, "Don't worry. No matter what you say, I promise that I won't get angry at you."

At this point, Infernape knew he couldn't conceal his secret anymore. Still, he couldn't find the courage to looked at Luke directly, so Infernape closed his eyes tightly, "Well...ever since the first day we met, I've always been attached to you. After I envolved, I start to have strange thoughts...about you and me...being together. The true is...I love you, Luke!"

When Infernape finished his confession, he waited for Luke to respond, but only received silence, annoying silence. Could it be...Luke was too disgusted that he didn't want to say anything? The pokemon started to get nervous, and decided that he should apologize, but when he was about to open his mouth, Infernape felt something...soft press against his lips.

Opening his eyes, Infernape was shocked to see that Luke was kissing him. Kissing! He parted his lips, allowing Luke to gain access and the young man wasted no time as he shoved his tongue into Infernape's mouth. Their tongues wrestled, swapping each other's saliva. Infernape's tongue easily overpowered the other, soon snaked its way into Luke's mouth and explored the inside. His arms snuck behind Luke's head and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss.

"Mmmm," Luke moaned as he broke the kiss, leaving a slightly disappointed look on Infernape's face. He grinned devilishly, "So...Is that counted as an proper answer to you?"

"Does that mean..." said Infernape shyly, his hands fidgeting on the bed sheet, "...you love me, too?"

Luke seemed to be torn apart between laughing and facepalming himself. In the end, he went for both, as he bursted out laughing like a maniac while rubbing the back of his head. Infernape looked extremely embarassed as he realized that Luke was laughing at him. He dipped his head and asked, "W-what so funny?"

"Does this mean...Geez, how can I bring myself to love a silly pokemon like you, hahahah..." said Luke between laughters, but he soon noticed that he had gone a bit too far, so he rubbed his hand over the chagrined pokemon and kissed him softly, "Sorry... The true is, I always find you cute, and more importantly, you've been caring a lot for me. The past is the past, and it doesn't matter to me now. I'll always be with you, so everything gonna be alright."

"One more thing," said Luke as he softly lift Infernape's chin, making the blushing pokemon to look at him directly, "I'd always carried you when you were a Monferno, but now things are different. You've grown, stronger than me, so this time...can you do the same thing for me? I want to experience it...the feeling of being held by the one I love."

That was too much for Infernape to take. Almost instantly, he scooped his new lover up and embraced him tightly. Luke closed his eyes as he enjoyed it for the very first time, the infinity pleasure and warmth radiating from the powerful body of his mate.

Suddenly, Luke's body hit the mattress in a thug. He tilted his head, wondering what Infernape was up to as he saw the pokemon lay on top of him.

"I'm sorry Luke, but I've been waiting so long for this moment. Will you," Infernape asked, his eyes were filled with immense desire, "...Will you mate with me?"

Now it was Luke's turn to blush furiosly. He gulped, considering the fact that this was his first time, and he was going to do it with a male pokemon! His mind telling him that it was against moralities, that he shouldn't do it, but his body knew what it wanted. He craved for it, to feel, to taste every bit of his lover's magnificent body.

Screw it all! I have nothing to regret. I want him! Luke told himself mentally. He raked his hands over Infernape's face and pulled him closer to share a deep, passionate kiss. Their touges entertwined with each other in an enchanted dance, signaling the upcoming union of a forbidden love.

"Please, do anything you want to me!" came a lusty plea from Luke, "I belong to you!"

So eager! So cute! Infernape thought. He wasted no time starting their session as he ducked his head into Luke's neck. He inhaled the scent, a mixture of sweetness, saltiness and manly musk filled his nostril instantly. So this was how his lover smell like! Addicted to the scent, he ran his tongue over human's skin, slurping gently.

"Hey, that's tickle...Ah..." Luke moaned as the slippy appendage had its way with his neck. Infernape continued to play with the his lover as he snuck his right hand under Luke's shirt and and stroke the bare flesh lovingly, earning a good, long moan of pleasure from Luke. The texture felt marvelous against his hand, silky and luxurious. Pecking Luke on his cheek, Infernape leaned forwards and whispered with a husky voice, "Look like someone is a bit...overdressed. Lemme help you with that, mhh..."

Luke didn't offer much resistance as Infernape held him up and slowly romoved his clothes. When he had done with the shirt and jeans, the pokemon hooked his hands onto Luke's waistband and pulled his boxers down, exposing the fully naked form of his lover. Luke's six-inches erection flicked into the air, a couple drops of pre leaked out from the tip.

"Uncut...Mmm, nice!" said Infernape lewdly, licking his lips as he saw Luke fully naked for the first time, his eyes ran down the human's body and seemed to be glued at his groin. All sorts of naughty thought came up in his mind...What to do, what to do with that good-looking shaft? He wanted to enjoy it, every inche, in every way he could think of. But first, Infernape would play with his lover a little more.

Tracing down Luke's body using his tongue, Infernape soon reached his next target, which happened to be Luke's nipples. He pressed his lips against the visibly peaked nubs, suckling them one after another, resulting in moans escaping constantly from Luke's mouths. Satisfied, Infernape kissed down Luke's trembling skin, licking the exposed navel as he tasted the sweet, warm skin; rejoined by his lover's heavenly musk and a chorus of blissful moans.

But eventually, the pokemon stopped playing around and started getting serious. He shuffled closer to Luke's dripping erection, licking his lips hungrily as he prepared to eat up the tasty meat. Sniffing the pre bubbling from the tip, Infernape allowed the aroma to completely fill his nostrils and overwhelm his senses. Smell so good! he thought and proceed to see how delicious it would be. Leaning in, Infernape presented the tip a small, but lusty kiss, slowly taking the almost-pearly liquid into his mouth. Again, he tasted sweet, but this time mixed with a musky sourness. Strange, and addictive, and it seemed to invite him for more, so Infernape wasted no time pushing the cockhead through the ring of his lips, soon taking most of the pulsing shaft in his mouth.

Luke sighed deeply and groaned something under his breath as his cock came in contact with the wet, raspy tongue, soon replaced by the warm and moist enclosure of his lover's mouth. He was soon twitching and trembling in pleasure as Infernape started sucking, using his strong, muscular tongue to wrap around Luke's shaft and coat it with hungry saliva.

Infernape then picked up a steady rhythm as he bobbed his head up and down, working his way to milk the tasty cock while teasing Luke's backside with his hands, squeezing the cheeks softly and brushing his fingers against the crack, earning more thrilling moans from his lover. The pokemon tried to push his fingers through that hot anal ring, but stopped halfway as he knew that it would hurt his lover.

The tip of Luke's cock was now touching Infernape's throat as he turned the sucking into deepthroating. Luke stiffened and moaned as his cock completely disappeared into his furry lover's mouth. At first, he just wanted to lay still and let Infernape do the job, but the intense stimulation was too much for him, so Luke started to make soft thrusts, trying to get his dick more into the slippy, moist heaven. This made Infernape gag a little, not that he minded, though. In fact, he was rather happy, for he knew Luke was enjoying their oral play as well.

"Infernape...There's something..." Luke panted, his eyes closed tightly and his hands were crumpling the bed sheet as he reached his climax, "I...can't last...any more, ah..."

That was exactly what Infernape wanted. He sank even deeper, burying his face in the human's crotch. He picked up the pace, bobbing up and down and constantly massaging the hot shaft with his tongue, in an eager effort to milk his lover. With one final yelp of pleasure from Luke's mouth, Infernape got the reward he'd been craving for.

Spurt! The first glob of hot, sticky cum oozed into the pokemon's awaiting mouth. He moaned as the gooey seed came in touch with his tongue, filling his mouth with an imtense flavour. Infernape squirted the sperm around, enjoying every bit of the sweet, yet savory treat.

"Mmmm..." Infernape murred as he audibly gulped down Luke's seed, just in time for the second load to pour into his mouth. He was about to swallow again, but suddenly came up with a naughty though. Painfully surpassing his urge to drink the creamy semen, Infernape curved his tongue to prevent the seed from flowing down to his throat as he tried to reverse as much as possible. The same went for the third and final blasts of cum.

"S-stop..." Luke panted and blushed furiously due to his hyper-sensitive cock being squeezed by Infernape's tongue. The pokemon grinned to himself as he removed the softed cock from his mouth. With a mouth full of cum, Infernape turned to Luke, who was still dazed after his first orgasm. He easily flipped his lover around, making Luke lay down on his belly, as well as revealing his naked backside.

What a cute lit' ass! Infernape complimented mentally. The pokemon was so eager to try that wonderful ass, but his mind kept remaining him that this was Luke's first time, so he couldn't just apply rough sex on the human. He needed to get that hole nice and loosened first, and Infernape had already been working on that.

Spreading the cheeks with his hands, Infernape brought his head down and pressed his lipd against the tight pucker. He spent a couple of minutes enjoying the moment, then started licking the hole, running his tongue around the opening, resulted in moans from his human mate. Those moans were music to his ears.

"What...what is this feeling? It's...amazing!"

When Infernape thought he had coated Luke's ring enough, he proceeded to push his tongue into the tight ass. It wasn't easy at first, as the anal walls kept squeezing Infernape's tongue in a vain effort to fight against the wet invader, but eventually, Luke started to ease his muscles, allowing the pokemon's oral tool to slip even deeper into his anus, spreading him wild and stuffing him with his own gooey cum.

Figuring that the preparation was complete, Infernape pulled his tongue out. Now there was only one thing left to do.

Turning Luke around so that the human was laying on his back again, Infernape intertwined his fingers with Luke's and looked into his eyes again, "Just let you know: This's gonna hurt, and I can't bring myself to hurt you, so if you wanna stop then...it isn't too late."

Luke shuddered in both nervousness and excitement. Indeed it would hurt, and he knew just by looking at his lover's massive erection. It didn't look very different from his, but about one or two inches longer and way thicker. Part of Luke feared that he wouldn't be able to endure the pain, but his lust was slowly winning.

"What's the point of stopping if I've already gone this far. Beside, I know you'd never hurt me intentially, so...I will go all the way with you." Luke whispered shyly and ducked his head in a way Infernape found absolutely cute and irresistible.

"W-well then," Said Infernape softly, the tip of his cock slightly touched Luke's virgin pucker, "Here we go."

Luke winced slightly as Infernape struggled penetrate him, slowly working his way to claim the virgin teritory. He held onto his lover tightly, feeling the tip slide difficultly into his ass, followed by first two inches of the hot cock.

"Oh gawd!" Luke gasped. The sensation was nothing like he'd ever imagine in his wildest dream, being spread open by Infernape's hot shaft. The heat radiating from that pulsing cock, combined with his own heat and the slickness of the cum that was stuffed into his ass earlier...all of them were just overwhelming his mind.

Infernape felt Luke's muscles relax to accompany him, and wasted no time shoving the rest of his erection into to his lover. Finally, the pokemon got all of his good seven-inch cock lodged warm and secure inside the young man's bowels. To put it simply, the feeling was just too good, to the point that Infernape was having troubles restraining himself from unleashing his lust and fucking Luke silly. He wanted their first union to be sexy, intimate and pleasurable.

"Are you okay?" asked Infernape as he brought his head down and planted a small kiss on Luke's cheek.

"Yeah..." Luke replied, a long sigh of relief escaped from his mouth, "I think I'm ready now."

No more words were needed. This moment was all Infernape had been waiting for. Slowly he pulled backwards, feeling an extreme tightness surround his member, the tight walls seemingly didn't want to let it go, not without some extra help from the gooey seed. Luke instantly had an empty feeling, like a void was created where it should have been a steamy cock. A stream of hot cum pour from his strectched rear and ran down his buttcheeks, painting the smooth skin with opaque white. For Infernape, it was an extremely arousing scene. He thrust his cock back home, forcing another glob of cum out of his lover's ass, but there was still plenty inside to coat his cock, intensifying the experience.

"Ah..." Luke moaned, feeling every nerve of his body react to the pulsing invader. His cock twitched painfully between their bellies, smearing pre all over the place as he dived in the ecstasy of being taken my his passionate, yet gentle mate.

Infernape grunted as he humped the human beneath, his balls slapped rentlessly against his lover's rear. They were a tight, yet perfect fit. Each time he shoved his cock into his lover's ass, patches after patches of warm, gooey seed were forced out, forming a messy puddle beneath both human and pokemon. Back and forth he plunged that hole, building up a pleasant rhythm, his cock were dragged along the slippery walls while the tip massaged Luke's prostate with steady strokes.

"Feeling good?" asked Infernape, panting rentlessly.

"Yeah! But it will feel even better if you stop holding back!" Luke teased. He was sweating bullets but his face was masked with pure rapture.

"I think so," said Infernape, "But rough sex doesn't sound very...appropriate, consider this is the first time for both of us."

"It's okay," Luke replied softly, "I want you to feel good too, because it will be selfish if I only enjoy myself." Infernape smiled, feeling extremely lucky to have the young human as his mate. He wasted no time increasing the pace, rapidly thrusting his dick in and out that abused hole as he gave the young man below a good, hard pounding.

Luke gasped, feeling the pleasure intensify tenfold. Each thrust from that shaft sent sparks of pleasure down his spine, causing moans to escape from his mouth, through his gritted teeth. He moved his hips, trying to catch up with Infernape's movements. Their heartbeats synchronized as their bodies united in the most intimate dance of bond and passion. Lewd, sloppy sounds of mating echoed through the room, combined with the groans and moans of two love-hungry males to form an orchestra of lust.

Minutes passed, and Luke could feel Infernape's breaths become much faster and erratic. He didn't have to be a genius to realize that Infernape was close to his peak, that meant he would soon be filled with his lover's seed, to be marked as his forever. Excited by the naughty thought, Luke squeezed his muscles for more stimulation, his walls clamped around the throbbing shaft extra hard. That was too sudden, and too much for Infernape to handle. Without any warning, he gave one last forceful thrust, driving cock as deep as possible. The pokemon shuddered as he gave in to his orgasm.

Luke smiled in content, feeling the breeding organ inside him pulse and twitch, each time followed by a spurt of rich, fertile semen, running straigth into his bowels. The seed was extremely hot, given that Infernape was a fire pokemon, yet so comforting at the same time. Stimulated by the intense sensation of being filled to the brim, Luke also reached his climax, his smaller cock throbbed and unleashed its loads, staining Infernape's furry chest, with a few last shoots dripped onto his belly as well.

No longer being able to support himself after his massive orgasm, Infernape collasped onto his lover, panting hard. They laid in a blissful afterglow, just enjoying the pleasure of having each other. It wasn't long before Luke heard his mate snoring quietly, resting his head on the youngster's neck.

Luke's hand found its way to Infernape's and squeezed it gently. His hands didn't look very different from the pokemon's. When other people looked at him and Infernape, they saw two individuals, but they could never understand...deep inside, Luke and Infernape weren't too different, at all...because they loved each other.

"Thank you, Infernape..." Luke whispered
