#2 of Love and Aura


Valor and Tamash? walked side by side down the Skyarrow Bridge, the sunset reflecting on the rippling water below. There was no one around, so the two of them dared to walk close to one another, him holding her paw in his hand as they went along the soaring blue bridge.

As a pokémon trainer, Valor naturally carried more pokémon with him- specifically a Ninetales, a Kingdra, an Aggron, a Staraptor, and an Eelectross- but none were as special to him as his beloved Tamash?. Even after traveling together for over a year and a half, the memories of how they came to be together still felt new.

He had been given her egg by another Guardian in an age old test of one's worthiness to become a Guardian of Aura. Once one had the egg, it was a test of how strong your Aura was. It was said that if you had an Aura strong enough to become a Guardian, then the egg would hatch within three days of receiving it. If the egg hatched within that period, then the second half of the test began. Once the Riolu was born, it was required to form a bond with it strong enough that it would evolve into a Lucario by the end of its first week of life. Valor had unwittingly met these requirements, but there was an unforeseen side effect of the time he spent with her.

As soon as she hatched they had felt close to one another. But once she evolved, their feelings toward one another began to change. It wasn't too long after she evolved that the Guardian who had given Valor Tamash?'s egg returned to teach them in the ways of the Guardians. Under the guidance of that Guardian, they underwent the traditional seven months of training to join the ranks of the Guardians. During that time, their feelings for one another only intensified. When their training had concluded, Valor found the courage to tell her how he felt. She accepted him as her mate, and they had been together ever since.

Although it had been almost a year to the day since their romantic relationship had begun, to both of them time had seemed to go by quickly. Valor blinked in surprise as he realised that while he had been lost in the thoughts of their time together, they had reached the end of the bridge, and now stood before the tunnel like gate that led into Castelia City, the largest city in the Unova Region. Valor let out a sad sigh, and turned to Tamash? with a mournful smile. "There will probably be a lot of people beyond this point. We're gonna have to act like we're nothing more than a trainer and his pokémon."

She crossed her arms with a 'humph'. She then spoke without speaking, using the type of telepathy common to Lucarios. "I know. I just wish we didn't have to act like we're doing something wrong. People are too uptight for their own good."

With a soft chuckle he replied. "No arguments here, but still. You know what would happen if people saw us acting like a couple."

She nodded reluctantly. "Yeah. I know, I know. I still don't like it."

"I don't either, but that's the way the world works." With a jerk of his head he gestured toward the gate. "Come on, let's go."

With that the two of them stepped through the gate and into the city.

* * *

After arriving in the city the two of them checked into a hotel and went straight up to their room for the night.

Valor dropped his bag on the floor and went to take a shower while Tamash? went out to the balcony overlooking Castelia Bay, enjoying the smell of the sea air. When he came out of the shower Valor found Tamash? waiting on the bed, an expectant look on her blue furred face.

"I don't suppose I get a choice in the matter, do I?" Valor questioned her, a loving smile on his face, thinking to himself that he didn't particularly mind not having a choice. He walked over to join her on the bed, glad as always that, by fortune or fate, Tamash? had evolved without developing a chest spike. It was another one of the things that made her so special to him, though she was a bit defensive about the subject. He had learned to appreciate it without actually discussing it.

As he got into bed Tamash? wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him into what was as close as she could come to a kiss. As she always did she quickly became more passionate with the kiss, pushing her tongue past his lips into his mouth. Just this was enough for Valor to experience the familiar feeling of blood flow increasing to his manhood.

Valor disengaged himself from her arms, and began stripping off his clothes while she waited impatiently on the bed. He climbed back onto the bed, and was pinned down by his mate, who almost always preferred to be on top. Valor didn't mind that though, as he felt he had a better view of her like that. Tamash? slid up along him so that her hips were level with his, not wanting to waste any time in breeding with her mate. She then started to press her entrance against him and he could feel the heat coming from within her, as well as how slick she already was with her own fluids.

Pressing her paws against his chest for balance, she pressed harder against him, parting her lower lips and allowing her to slide down along his throbbing length. Once she had all seven inches of him inside her, she began grinding against him, both enjoying the familiar sensations of the motion.

He reached up to place his hands on her hips, finding the feeling of her fur brushing against his skin as pleasurable as always. As Tamash? continued she increased her speed and force, until the initial gentle pace had become a bit bone jarring, and even a little...feral. Driven by a combination of her instincts and her hormones, she kept at it until she was moaning with pleasure. Still maintaining enough presence of mind to realize she was getting a little too loud, she started biting her lip in an effort to quiet herself.

As she rocked back and forth astride his hips they started to make use of their respective Auras, allowing them to mix and overlap, creating a feeling of intimacy that couldn't have been achieved otherwise, and bathing the room in a faint emerald light.

She could feel her climax was approaching now, and after a moment she switched biting her lips for pressing them against her mate's in a passion fueled kiss. It wasn't much longer before her orgasm washed over her. The feeling of her inner muscles milking him pushed Valor to the edge, sending his seed into her body.

Panting heavily she gently pulled herself off him, dripping some of their combined fluids on to him and the sheets as she laid down beside him, snuggling up close to him. "I...I wasn't too rough was I?"

He chuckled lightly in response. "Give me some credit. I have gotten a bit tougher from doing this for almost a year."

He gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her as close as he could. "I love you, Tamash?."

"I love you too."

Without another word they drifted off to sleep, content in each others arms.

***

When Tamash? woke the next morning it was barely past dawn, and Valor was still sleeping beside her. It didn't really surprise her, as she always woke up before he did. She gently slid out of the bed, wondering not for the first time if he didn't wake up because she moved too lightly, or if he was simply a heavy sleeper. With a stretch and a smile she walked out once more to the balcony, taking in the sights and sounds of the city below.

Tamash? enjoyed things like this, being able to see everything laid out before her. She took in a breath of the sea air, then lowered herself into a cross-legged position, intending to meditate until her mate woke up. With a light ocean breeze ruffling her fur, she closed her eyes, stretching out her senses.

The whole world seemed to glow with light of a myriad of colours, every living thing in her 'sight' thrumming with energy. She narrowed her focus to look at her mate's Aura, an emerald green colour like her own Aura. It wasn't uncommon for a Guardian and his or her Lucario to have the same colour of Aura. I t often amused her that despite how different their relationship was from the norm, she and Valor did share certain little similarities like that with other Guardian/Lucario pairs.

She began to expand her field of 'vision' to be able to see the Aura's of more of the people and pokémon in the city. She could essentially see everything. She could see people working on the docks, merchants opening their stores for the day, and more people and pokémon who were just waking up to prepare for the day ahead.

She continued to stretch out until she could see the entire city. Though she had less understanding of the things she was seeing, the sheer volume of it all made up for it. Suddenly something new entered into what she could see, shocking her a bit. There were two of them. Entering into the city were two incredibly bright red Auras, along with five other slightly less powerful Auras.

There was something so familiar about the two red Auras, but she couldn't place it. Just as she was about to focus her senses on the two familiar Auras, her attention was drawn by the sense of her mate waking up back in the room.

The Auras she had sensed were pushed from her mind as she got back up to head in to the room, her thoughts refocused on the day ahead.

***

When Valor woke he wasn't really surprised that Tamash? was no longer in the bed. He had become used to her waking up before him. It was far from uncommon for him to wake up alone. He had been bothered by it early on in their relationship, but now he didn't take it personally. In fact, as he had become used to it, it had come to amaze him how quietly she moved.

He smiled as she walked into the room from the balcony, glad as always that she was part of his life. "Good morning."

She returned his smile before saying, "Good morning. How long do you think it will take for you to get ready?"

"Don't worry, I won't take long."

He immediately got out of bed and started getting ready to leave. They had already been in Unova for a week, on a sort of vacation from their usual Guardian duties in northern Sinnoh. But today was different. Today was important for them, as it had been on the same day one year ago that they had first mated, and their relationship had begun.

Once Valor was dressed they left the room, both looking forward to the day ahead of them.

Because of how special a day it was for them, Valor had taken the time before hand to plan out a little schedule of sorts. It was nothing overly strict or time sensitive, and it was in fact more like a list of things they should do if they could find the time, but he had still put in the effort to think of the best list of things for them to do while they were in Castelia.

They started their day with a short boat trip to the Liberty Garden, a small but pretty island with an old tower on it that was said to be the home of the powerful and mythical pokémon Victini. Upon their return to Castelia City a couple hours later they took a tour of Studio Castelia, a little art museum displaying works associated with the ancient legends of Unova.

After having lunch at Café Sonata, they found themselves with the good fortune to be able to purchase Castelia Cones, the brand of ice cream originally from the city that was commonly acknowledged as the best ice cream in the world. They enjoyed the frozen treats on one of Castelia's many piers, simply watching the ocean together and enjoying each other's company.

In the failing light they boarded the Royal Unova at the Cruise Dock, the ship being known for the romantic view from its observation deck as it made its trip through the waters of Unova before returning to the city.

That very observation deck was where they stood together in the light of the sunset, once more finding themselves alone, allowing them to actually stand together like a couple as they watched the sparkling waves, turned orange by the sunset. As beautiful as the view was, Tamash? had something else on her mind.

She started nuzzling Valor and rubbing against him, her thoughts clearly pointed at intimacy. With a roll of his eyes Valor gently admonished her, saying, "Tamash?, not here. We're on a ship full of people. Can't you wait until we get back to the hotel?"

She shook her head in response, a pleading look in her eyes. "No, that's too long to wait. Besides, there are empty rooms on the ship..."

Valor gave a defeated sigh, knowing she couldn't be deterred. "Alright, fine. Let's go."

With that they turned and walked back into the interior of the ship in search of a vacant room.

***

The door to the room had barely closed before they were on the bed. Working together it wasn't long before Valor's clothes were off. Tamash? was quickly on top of him, pressing against his fully erect manhood. Combined with the subtle rocking motion of the ship, the sensation of her grinding against him was more intense than usual.

Reaching up, placing his hands on her chest, he felt through her fur until he found her erect nipples. As he began to massage and stimulate them she began to thrust against him, forcing him deeper and deeper her with each thrust of her hips.

Their pleasure only increased when they started using their Auras. Tamash? could feel her orgasm fast approaching and Valor was experiencing a similar feeling. Running his hands down her body, Valor caressed every curve on her body, a body that was so soft and gentle it was hard to believe she was a Fighting-Steel type.

Tamash?'s orgasm hit her at that moment and it took her everything she had not to cry out in sheer pleasure. Valor could feel himself about to finish and only a moment later his tip exploded with his seed, coating her passageway.

Tamash? wasn't finished though. She quickly dismounted and switched to using her mouth. She slipped his still erect member fully into her mouth. She began to use her tongue to stroke and caress it.

"Tamash?, you don't have to do that." Tamash? ignored him and kept going, enjoying the taste of her mate's manhood.

While Valor enjoyed the feeling, he always felt a little embarrassed when she did this. But, once her mind was made up there was no stopping her. A few moments later he felt another orgasm and Tamash? greedily swallowed the result.

They cuddled for a handful of minutes afterward, but, knowing the ship would soon return to the dock, Valor got dressed and they left the room.

* * *

Disembarking from the Royal Unova, Valor and Tamash? walked in the general direction of their hotel. Though they walked apart they stayed connected with their Auras, both enjoying the afterglow of their time aboard the ship.

They were almost back at their hotel when a familiar voice came from behind them. "Hey kid, it's been awhile."

Valor and Tamash? turned around and came face-to-face with the Guardian of Aura who had trained Valor and given him Tamash?'s egg. He was a man that Valor had looked up to since he was a kid.

His name was Galen, and it was a name recognized all over the world. If you asked someone on the street they could tell you exactly who he was. Everyone knew that he was the strongest Trainer in the world. People everywhere knew him as the Pokémon League's World Champion. This was the man who stood before them, wearing his trademark blue jacket, dark brown hair being brushed by the light breeze. By his side was his ever present Luxray, Luxor. Galen had a confident half smile on his face.

Valor gulped. It could be tough keeping his and Tamash?'s secret around normal people at times. Keeping that secret from another Guardian was a whole other story. Especially where Galen was concerned. Galen was commonly acknowledged as the strongest Guardian alive. It was made even worse by the fact that Galen's Lucario, Riley, was Tamash?'s father.

" H-hey Galen." Valor stammered out. "Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Traveling, just like I always am." Galen responded. "What are the odds that I would run into you here? What's it been, a year?"

"Uh, yeah, something like that." Valor answered.

"Well, the nights still young," Galen said, "Why don't we catch up over drinks? My treat kid."

With a tone of exasperation Valor replied, "Galen, I'm too young to drink." Valor couldn't believe Galen would forget that, considering how often Galen called him "kid".

"Oh, right. Sorry. Well I'll get you a milkshake or a soda then." Galen grabbed him by the shoulder and started to guide him down the street, Luxor and Tamash? following closely behind them.

* * *

Tamash? was worried. Despite his appearance, she knew that Galen wasn't to be underestimated. If he were to discover the feelings she and her mate shared for one another, the result would be unbearable. She and her mate would be torn apart, or worse. She couldn't stand the idea. And what would her father do if he found out...

"Something wrong, Tamash??" Luxor asked her, a look of concern on his feline features. He was lying on the floor across from Tamash?. The four of them had gone to the Cafe Sonata at Galen's prompting. Even now Galen and her mate were talking to one another across one of the cafe's tables.

Realizing her face must have betrayed her thoughts, Tamash? quickly responded, saying, "I'm fine. Just a bit tired." She tried to smile convincingly. Luxor looked at her sceptically, but didn't pursue the topic further. Tamash? looked away from Luxor, wanting to avoid any more questions.

Her mate laughed at something Galen said, causing her to look at him. Though by human standards he wasn't gorgeous, there was something about his jet-black hair, pleasant face, and bright blue eyes that she loved all the same. Just thinking about it made her face grow warm. She was glad that her blushing was hidden by her fur.

At that moment, one of Galen's Pokeballs burst open, and out came Tamash?'s father, Riley.

* * *

Valor watched, surprised as Riley burst out of his Pokeball. It wasn't unheard of for pokémon to come out of their Pokéballs on their own, but it wasn't very common either.

"What's up Riley? Something wrong?" Galen asked his Lucario. Riley stared intently back at Galen, leading Valor to suspect there was something passing telepathically from the Lucario to his trainer. Galen sighed after a moment. "I know. I'd hoped I was wrong though."

Galen turned back to Valor, a serious look on his face. "So kid, how do you feel about the two of us having a battle?" It may have been phrased as a question, but Valor knew he didn't have a choice.

"Alright, but I don't think I'll provide much of a challenge to your pokémon." Valor replied.

"Try." With that Galen returned Riley to his Pokeball and the four of them left the cafe.

* * *

Galen and Valor stood around a hundred feet apart on one of Castelia City's piers. Luxor stood by Galen's side and Tamash? stood close by Valor's side. "This will be a full, six-on-six battle." Galen announced loud enough for Valor to hear.

"Alright then, I'll start with this!" Valor tossed out the Pokeball containing his Aggron, Kinzoku. Galen selected a Pokeball and unleashed the pokémon within. Out came Galen's eight foot tall Charizard, Blazer.

Valor had Kinzoku use Stone Edge, but it did a surprisingly small amount of damage. Galen had Blazer retaliate with a full power Blast Burn. Kinzoku promptly hit the ground, knocked out by the power of the flames. Valor switched Kinzoku for his Kingdra, Sangoshou. Galen called back Blazer and sent Luxor into battle. A single Thunder was enough to defeat Sangoshou.

Valor switched to Inazuma, his Eelectross. Galen continued to use Luxor and, a few Iron Tails and Crunches later Inazuma was knocked out. Valor began to feel discouraged, but he knew he couldn't back down. Valor threw out his Staraptor, Seiza, but he was also quickly defeated by Luxor.

Valor's next pokémon was his next to last, his Ninetales, Kasai. Galen called Luxor back to his side and sent out his Lapras, Cruise. With a single Hydro Pump Cruise knocked Kasai out cold. After returning Kasai to her Pokeball, Valor spoke up. "Galen, I'm done. It's clear that you've won." The truth was that Valor didn't want Tamash? to get badly hurt, and against Galen's pokémon that was a high possibility. Galen called Cruise back and started to walk toward Valor and Tamash?.

"Somehow, I think that there's a deeper reason that you don't want to continue." Galen continued to walk toward them, a dark look on his face. "So why don't you tell me the truth. The WHOLE truth. Or do I have to wring it out of you?" Galen stopped a few feet in front of them. "I think I already know, but tell me anyway." At this point the four inches of height Galen had over Valor seemed like much more.

Valor knew there was no point in hiding it from Galen, he knew Valor too well. "I...I do have a reason." Valor started. "I didn't want Tamash? to get really hurt, or worse. I love her too damn much to see her in that kind of condition." Tamash? placed her paw on his arm, and he looked into her eyes, a loving smile on his face. His expression hardened as he turned back to Galen. "So I guess you're going to turn us over to the authorities now? Or will it be the Order's Council of Elders instead?"

"No. I'm not going to turn you over to anyone." Galen whispered, just loud enough for them to hear. His expression changed, and he suddenly had his usual confident smile back.

"But, why?" Valor asked, the quickly added, "I mean, I'm not complaining, but that's kind of an unusual reaction to this...situation."

"Well," Galen started, "At first I thought it was just sex. You know, one of you taking advantage of the other."

"Hold on, how is it you think she would take advantage of me?" Valor asked indignantly.

"You're not very strong willed and she's a sexually active Fighting-Steel type. You do the math." Galen responded. "Anyway, now that I know that it's actually love, I'm not going to stop you. There are many people out there who don't look favourably on these things, but I won't tear apart two who are in love."

"Really?" Valor asked cautiously.

"Really." Galen answered, "But be warned, few are as accepting as I am. You're not the first human to become involved with a pokémon, hell, you're not even the first Guardian, but you still need to keep it a secret."

"Right." Valor agreed and Tamash? nodded in response. "Wait, there have been other Guardians like me, like us?"

Galen suddenly became very serious once again. "Yes. But it never ended well for the Guardians, or their Lucarios."

"What happened to them?" Valor asked, afraid of what the answer might be.

Valor could see that the information pained Galen. "The last time it happened was two years before I became a Guardian. When the Council of Elders found out, they decided to destroy what they thought was an abomination. In that case it was a female Guardian and a male Lucario. The Council had the Lucario executed, and the Guardian was expelled from the Order. Unable to deal with the loss of the one she loved, she simply gave up, and died less than a month later."

Valor had a defiant look in his eyes as he said, "That won't happen to us. I won't let it."

"For your sake, I hope you're right." Galen replied. "But enough of this. You have pokémon in need of a Pokémon Center, and it's getting late." Galen placed his hand on Valor's shoulder. "Good luck, to both of you."

"Thanks, Galen." Valor and Tamash? turned and walked away, both smiling.

* * * Luxor looked up at Galen, a mildly confused expression on his face. "Lux...ray Luxray ray lux lux?" {You're...just going to let them go?}

"That's right, Lux." Galen replied.

Riley's Pokeball burst open, and Riley appeared before them. "What do you mean 'that's right'? That's my daughter! How do you think I feel about this?!" he demanded, obviously enraged.

"Calm down, Riley." Galen responded. "Isn't her happiness what's most important?"

"Fine, but I still don't like it." Riley answered.

"I didn't say you had to." Galen replied. Luxor chuckled to himself, and the three of them set off, all three thinking their own thoughts about what had just transpired.
