She had her arms wrapped around Valor's torso, and was sobbing into his shoulder. It hadn't taken him and Tamash? long to learn that Holly worked at the Cove Lily Hotel, and, after actually finding her, Valor had told her what had become of Faerin.

Now he was rather uncomfortable, not knowing how to deal with the sobbing woman clinging to him. It also didn't help that Tamash? was now starring daggers at them. He gestured to Holly and mouthed 'It's not my fault', but she continued with that same icy stare.

A few minutes later Holly pulled herself off him, wiping tears from her eyes. "I-I'm s-sorry. Th-this is j-just..."

Valor gently placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "It's alright, I understand. This can't be easy."

She shook her head. "D-do you know, h-how he...how he..."

Valor nodded solemnly. "I do. He...sacrificed his life, to stop the spread of an evil power that could have hurt a lot of people. Also, he left behind...a message...for you. He wanted you to know that he cared about you very much."

Holly now had a sad smile on her face. "Th-thank you, Valor. I guess it's k-kind of nice, knowing he was thinking of me, even in the end. I s-still wish he were here though." She wiped her eyes again, then said, "Um, listen, it's not much, but, if you want, I could pull some strings, and get you a room here in the hotel-as a way of saying thank you."

"That's really not necess-"

"I insist." She then walked away, leaving Valor scratching his head in confusion.

Valor turned back to Tamash?. "Well that was-okay, what's wrong? "He was perplexed, as she was still glaring at him.

She crossed her arms. "Do you want to breed with her?"

Valor was surprised by the telepathic query. "With Holly? You must be joking. What would make you think that?"

"Well, you are being awfully nice to her..."

"Of course I am. Somebody she cared a great deal about has died. Why shouldn't I be nice to her? Besides, she's not my type. I prefer a female with soft blue fur, and sparkling red eyes."

Tamash? looked away in embarrassment. "Sorry, I should know better than to doubt you."

"It's fine. I would probably feel the same if you were being particularly nice to some male Luc-"

"Valor?"

He turned around to see Holly standing there, a key in her hand. "Here, this is for you," she said, offering the key, "The number on the key matches your room number."

"Uh, thanks." He accepted the key, surprised by the old-fashioned item, as most hotels used electronic locks.

"No, thank you, for...well, everything. Oh, and, do enjoy you stay." She walked away again, wondering if he had really just been having a conversation with his Lucario.

"Well, it's better than a Pokémon Center, I suppose." Tamash? nodded in agreement, and they set out to find their room.

It turned out to be an admittedly small room with a single bed. Taking note of this Tamash? said, "How inconsiderate; it's almost like they WANT us to sleep together."

Valor shook his head, laughing. He set his bag down and dropped onto the bed, exhausted. "I certainly never thought that becoming a Guardian would lead to a day like today. Hopefully the next few days will be a bit quieter.

"I wouldn't count on it!" Valor suddenly found himself pinned to the bed, with Tamash?'s tongue halfway down his throat.

She pulled away a moment later, leaving him pinned and gasping for breath. "After everything that has happened today, how can you be in any kind of mood for this?"

"Valor, it's been over a week, and I...well, I'm...uh..."

Realization dawned on him, causing him to smirk. "I get it. I didn't realize three months had already passed." Early on in their relationship she had explained to him that, while pokémon are capable of conception at any time, many species went through a cycle during which their ability to conceive increased, and for Lucarios that cycle lasted for a few days every three months or so. It also had the added effect of making her sexual desire increase as well. "So, when did this one start?"

"Yesterday."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Well, I figured...after that Gardevoir..."

Valor shook his head. "Tamash?, I would never let something like that come between us; I love you too much."

"I love you too." She then giggled and in his mind he heard her say, "Judging by what's pressing against my leg, I would guess you're not too tired for this."

He blushed. "No, but I would prefer not to be pinned down the entire time."

"We shall see." She winked at him and set to work pulling off his pants and underwear, giving him the time to do the same with his shirt. There were times when he kind of envied that she didn't have to bother with clothing.

His erect length was now exposed to the open-air of the room. Seeing that there were already beads of pre forming on the tip, Tamash? smiled to herself, realizing that he must be as pent up as she was.

She proceeded to run her tongue along his manhood, and was pleased to hear him release a gasp of pleasure. She licked the pre off his tip and slipped the whole thing into her mouth, her tongue guiding it in. Valor was experiencing a feeling similar to his first time with Tamash?, and he knew he wasn't going to last much longer. As she wrapped her tongue around him he felt his balls tighten, releasing his cream into her mouth. She allowed it to stay in her mouth for a moment, so as to enjoy the somewhat salty taste, then swallowed, enjoying the feeling of her mate's seed flowing down her throat.

She then moved up to the top of the bed, and positioned herself so that she was more or less straddling her mate's chest. "Now, my love, it's your turn."

"What?"

She sighed, wishing he were faster on the uptake at times. "I've used my tongue on you plenty of times, and now I would like YOU to return the favour."

Valor gulped. "Oh. Alright then, I guess I can give it a shot." With some trepidation he leaned his head forward a bit, and, for the first time, ran his tongue along her entrance.

The thing he noticed immediately was the somewhat sweet taste of the juices already flowing from her mound. She started moaning then, quietly at first. As he continued she increased in volume, leaving Valor to hope that the walls of their room weren't too thin. Acting on instinct he started teasing at her clit with his tongue, sending her into her first orgasm.

They both wound up gasping for breath, Tamash? due to pleasure, and Valor due to the unexpected amount of liquid that had entered his mouth.

"Are...are you alright?" She asked, worried he might not be able to breath. He nodded, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting that much to come out. There's usually something keeping all that in."

"Speaking of which..." She moved back down the bed, positioned herself over his still erect member, and pushed it through her lower lips, enjoying the familiar feeling of him sliding into her. She laid herself down on his body, and started grinding her hips against his, each motion taking him in and out of her passageway.

Pleasure only increased for both of them as they let their Auras mix together, enjoying that most intimate of sensations that could only be experienced by those in control of their life energies.

As he enjoyed the feeling of her fur brushing against his skin, Valor suddenly felt something else, something he was surprised to find he had been hoping for, as Tamash? gently but persistently started biting into his left shoulder once again. This pushed him over the edge, sending him into a second orgasm. He could feel her inner muscles tightening and contracting, milking him for everything he had to give.

She then went into an orgasm of her own, biting a bit harder as she struggled not to cry out in pleasure.

After the moment passed she released her hold on him, and, without dismounting, snuggled up against him, her eyelids already growing heavy.

"I guess we both needed that, didn't we?" She nodded drowsily in agreement.

A few moments later he looked down at his mate, and was surprised to find she had already fallen asleep on top of him. He smiled to himself and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Tamash?," before he too allowed himself to drift off to sleep.

*** The morning sun was coming in through a gap in the curtains, casting a single bar of light upon the room. Valor's eyes opened, and he couldn't help but smile at the sight that greeted him. Tamash? was still on top of him, still fast asleep.

As he looked upon her he couldn't help but wonder why she had chosen him. He knew why he loved her, but she had never given her reasons for wanting to be with him.

As he lay there, lightly stroking her fur, he decided that it didn't matter. Even if she hasn't told me what they are, he thought, she must have reasons, and that's good enough for me.

Responding to his touch, her eyes opened, and she yawned. "Good morning, Valor."

"Good morning. Looks like you slept well."

She nodded. "I did. Maybe we should sleep like this more often."

"Maybe. But, right now, I'd like to go take a shower."

"Sure, a shower sounds like fun," she said, stretching her arms out over her head.

"Uh...I meant..." He sighed, then smiled. "I'm not going to be able to talk my way out of this, am I?"

"No, but why would you want to? Not that it matters. You couldn't say no to me if you tried."

Valor raised one eyebrow, a bemused smile on his face. "Is that so? This coming from the Lucario with a sex drive that could rival a Lopunny's?"

"Lopunnies are perpetually horny sluts. I just have a healthy libido. And, for the record Valor, you've never turned me down before. I have no reason to believe you would."

"Alright, you proved your point. Can I get up now?"

"Oh, I suppose." She gave him a quick kiss, then got off him, his limp length sliding out from between her legs. She then climbed out of bed and said, "I'll see you in there." She winked at him, then walked to the bathroom, her tail flicking suggestively as she went.

He sat up, shaking his head and laughing at her behaviour. He then got up and stretched before following after Tamash?.

The shower was essentially a cubicle with a flat floor and a sliding glass door separating it from the rest of the bathroom. After relieving himself he joined Tamash? in the shower, at which point she pressed her body against his, and started kissing him under the running water.

She ran her paw along his body, then started stroking his manhood, causing it to swell and harden at her touch. After teasing him for a minute or two she stepped back, and said, "If you don't mind, I'd like you to use your tongue first."

"Alright, as long as I don't drown this time."

"No promises."

He chuckled and knelt down, then started sliding his tongue along her slit. She leaned back against the wall of the shower, each stroke of his tongue sending a slight shudder of pleasure through her body. As her head rolled back and she started whimpering slightly, he decided to push his luck by pushing his tongue into her, gently parting her lower lips. Her breathing grew rapid and shallow, and Valor found himself deriving pleasure from her reactions, and from the honey already flowing over his taste buds.

Tamash? went into her first actual orgasm a minute later, prompting Valor to back away in order to avoid a repeat of the previous night. He stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist, then took her in a deep kiss, their tongues wrestling back and forth between their mouths. Surprised that her mate seemed to be taking more control of the situation, she pulled back, and eyed him for a moment, then a question rang out in his mind. "What's gotten into you?"

A devilish grin appeared on his face as he said, "I think the better question is: what's about to get into YOU." Her eyes went wide with surprise as he pinned her to the wall by her shoulders and he took her in another kiss, before starting to push his erect member into her passageway. She immediately started moaning into the kiss, and it only intensified as he started thrusting into her, each cycle of movement bringing a fresh wave of pleasure for them both. A moment later she experienced a second orgasm, the rhythmic contraction of her inner muscles pulling his manhood deeper into her.

As she started milking him he could feel pressure building, and, as the sensation became too much for him, he felt his balls contract, coating her walls with his fertile seed. As Valor's body relaxed he lost his balance, and slipped, falling to the floor of the shower, taking Tamash? with him. He hit the ground hard and she landed heavily on top of him, pushing her farther down his length. Looking up at her, Valor realized she had a strange look on her face. "Tamash?, are you alright?"

"Valor, I think, that you, just pushed through my cervix."

As if to confirm what she said, he could feel something closing around him just beneath his tip. "Jeez, are you alright?"

She laid herself down on him, a contented smile on her face. "I'm perfectly fine."

After a few minutes of cuddling under the running water, Tamash? attempted to get up, but couldn't, as though something was pulling her down. A strange smile played across her face. "Valor, I think...we're stuck together."

Valor burst out laughing. "Yeah, that sounds like our luck alright. Well, we're just gonna have to wait until I...soften up a bit. Oh well, there are worse things that could happen."

Tamash? nodded, then snuggled back up against him. A moment later, they heard a knock at the hotel room door. *** A few minutes earlier...

Holly walked through one of the hallways of the Cove Lily Hotel, heading toward Valor's room.

First there had been that conversation she overheard him having with his Lucario. Now other hotel guests had complained that the night before there had been strange, animalistic noises coming from his room. She wanted answers.

To her at least, Valor didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing with a pokémon, but, if only to put her mind at ease, she had to know.

Arriving at the door to Valor's room, she knocked. After testing the doorknob and finding it unlocked, she quietly stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. "Valor, are you here? It's Holly. I need to talk to you."

There was no response, but the bathroom door was slightly ajar, and she could hear running water. Then, a response came. "Uh, Holly, this...isn't a good time. I'm in the shower."

"I know, but this can't wait. Put on a towel or something, I'm coming in. You've got thirty seconds."

"I'm pretty sure it can wait!"

"It can't. Twenty five."

"Holly, seriously, don't come in!"

"Twenty."

"Do yourself a favour, and don't open that door!"

"Fifteen."

"I mean it! Don't-come-in-here!"

"Ten, nine, eight..." She continued counting until she reached zero, at which point she fully opened the door and walked into the bathroom. She immediately wished she hadn't.

Valor was sitting on the floor of the shower with his Lucario straddling his hips. She was growling, and he had a look of defeated exasperation on his face. "I...told you...NOT to open the door."

Valor gulped. This was like one of his worst nightmares come to life. "Alright, Holly, don't freak out. And Tamash?, stop growling. It's not helping."

Holly started backing toward the door. "I...uh...I seem to have interrupted something. So, uh...I'm, just going to...go make a...a phone call."

Valor's eyes went wide with shock and desperation. "Holly, you can't tell anybody about this!"

"Why not?! This is wrong, not to mention illegal!"

"First off, it's not 'wrong' to be with the one you love, regardless of species. Second, and, more importantly, if people found out about this it would wind up costing Tamash?'s life!"

Holly looked back and forth between the pleading expressions on their faces. "What do you mean it would cost her life?"

Valor sighed sadly. "I...am what is called a 'Guardian of Aura'. What that means is that I can sense and control Aura, like a Lucario. There's also an order of Guardians, and it's our job to keep balance and peace when it's too much for normal people to handle. If...the Order were to find out...about us, then they would...execute...Tamash?. And, I couldn't stand to lose her, because she means everything to me."

Tamash? lovingly nuzzled Valor's neck, and Holly simply stood there, not knowing what to do. She couldn't knowingly sentence any creature to death, and she didn't want to hurt anyone, but, at the same time, what they were doing was illegal. Did they really love each other so much, that they were willing to risk so much?

In that moment, Holly made a decision. "I won't tell anyone," she said quietly, "I couldn't do that to you two."

Valor and Tamash? both looked overjoyed. "Thank you, Holly."

Tamash? reiterated the sentiment, causing Holly to look around in confusion. "What was-"

Valor waved a hand dismissively. "Tamash? communicates by using a form of telepathy. You get used to it." Valor suddenly blushed, remembering the situation. "Um, not to be rude, but, now that we've cleared that up, would you mind, um, leaving?"

Holly's face went red as well, and she started backing toward the door again. "Oh, sorry. I'll just, uh, leave you two to, uh, whatever it is you were doing."

Valor cleared his throat. "Actually, when you came in, we were already...finished. Now we're just kind of...stuck together."

"Oh," Holly said before going into a giggling fit. "You don't need help with that, do you?"

Valor sighed. "No. I think you walking in on us was enough of a mood killer that the problem has, more or less resolved itself."

"Oh, sorry. I'll just be leaving then." She started walking away, then a thought occurred to her. "Valor, was...was Faerin...a Guardian as well?"

Valor nodded. "Yes, he was. Why?"

"Just wondering." She then left the room, leaving Valor wondering what was going on in her head.

"Do you really think we can trust her?" Tamash? asked.

"I certainly hope so."

A short while later, after they had managed to pull themselves apart, and had dried off, they left the Cove Lily Hotel, wandering rather aimlessly into the city.

After a while Tamash? asked, "Valor, what are we doing?"

He shook his head. "I dunno. But, until a replacement Guardian gets here, we're gonna have to find a way to kill time."

Tamash? yawned. "Well, what is there to do in this city?"

"There's...an art museum, a department store..." Valor smirked as an idea entered his mind, "...and there's the Contest Hall."

"Contest Hall?"

Valor nodded. "Yeah. It's where they hold Pokémon Contests, which are competitions revolving around a performance that shows off the grace and beauty of your pokémon."

A bemused smile appeared on her face. "And you want us to enter one of these...Pokémon Contests?"

"Sure, why not? We don't have anything better to do, and I bet you and I could win one. After all, with your grace and beauty, how could we not?"

Tamash? sighed, then smiled. "Either you're really convincing, or I'm a sucker for flattery. Alright, let's do it!"

With that they set off toward the Contest Hall, not knowing what awaited them there.

*** Valor and Tamash? were backstage at the Contest Hall, sitting in a waiting room that could only be described as an upscale locker-room. Around them were other trainers, all waiting for the contest to begin.

Mounted on one of the walls was a television screen displaying a wide-angle view of the contest stage. All the people in the room turned their attention to the screen as the stage went dark, and a woman came out from backstage, a spotlight focused on her. "Hello everyone, and welcome to today's Lilycove Pokémon Contest!" There was cheering from the crowd, and then she continued. "For those of you unfamiliar with Pokémon Contests, allow me to explain how this works. First is the performance stage, where trainers, or 'coordinators' will have their pokémons use moves or combinations of moves to show off their pokemon's looks and power. Then, the eight coordinators who advance from that stage will go on to the battle stage, which will work in a tournament style configuration. In these battles the winners will be decided by a point system where each trainer starts with a set amount of points, which will drop or stay the same based on the appeal of their moves and then moves of their opponents. After five minutes, whoever has the most points remaining wins. They can also win by dropping their opponent's points to zero, or by knocking out the opposing pokémons. Now, without further ado, let the contest begin!"

She then introduced the first contestant, and the performance stage began.

After the first few performances, Tamash? turned to Valor and asked, "Are you sure about this? I've never done this before, and some of these pokémons seem rather experienced."

Valor shook his head, a confident smile on his face. "Don't worry about it. I have done this before, and I have a plan. Just follow my lead."

"Alright then." She replied, not entirely convinced.

Several minutes later it was their turn, so they got up, and headed for the stage...

...Valor stepped out onto the stage, Tamash?'s Pokeball in hand. He clicked the button in the center, the Ball Capsule making it appear as though Tamash? were cloaked in flames as she appeared on the stage.

Then, the true performance began. First had her fire a Flash Cannon skyward. When the shining sphere of silver energy reached its apex, he had her launch a Dragon Pulse after it. The blue sphere of energy collided with the silver, producing a flash of greenish-blue light. Then, the sparkling silvery remains of the Flash Cannon began drifting downward, each of the thousand points of metal reflecting the light of the impact.

Then, at Valor's command, Tamash? did a twirl and launched an Aura Sphere into the shining cloud of particles. The bands of energy coming off the spinning Sphere caused the particles to start falling faster, in a whirlwind like cascade.

With the points of light now swirling around her, Valor had her use Protect, creating a spherical shield of energy around her. The particles began sliding along the field of energy, making it look as though she were in a giant, sparkling snow globe, the metal particles reflecting a thousand points of light onto her body.

As the last bits of metal fell, Tamash? let the Protect fade away, and the crowd cheered, prompting both of them to bow, before leaving the stage so the next performance could begin...

...As they entered the waiting room backstage, Valor had a huge grin on his face. They sat down, and he asked, "So, was I right? You didn't have anything to worry about."

Tamash? sighed, a smile on her face as well. "Okay, you were right. But don't let it go to your head, alright?"

He laughed, his grin becoming a bit sheepish. "Right, sorry."

"Alright, and that does it for the performance stage!" Their attention was drawn once more to the screen mounted on the wall. "And now, these are the eight contestants who will be moving on to the next stage!"

The screen changed, and now displayed eight pictures, each depicting one of the trainers competing, and the second to last one, was Valor. The images then rearranged themselves into four groups of two. "And these are the first round match ups for the battle stage!"

"Wow, they really didn't waste any time with us, did they?" Valor commented, seeing that they were going to be battling first.

Tamash? nodded, equally surprised. They then left the room, headed for the stage once more...

...Valor stood on the stage, staring down the trainer at the other end of the battlefield. His opponent released his Metang onto the field, then Tamash? left Valor's side, stepping out onto the field herself.

Then, the timer, and the battle, started. The Metang rushed forward using Take Down. Valor had Tamash? dodge, then counter with Aura Sphere. The attack did a moderate amount of damage, but it was clear to Valor that Tamash? was at a bit of a disadvantage against the Steel-Psychic type.

The Metang attacked again, this time using Meteor Mash. Tamash? countered with Dragon Pulse, sending the Metang reeling back. It then used Psyshock, which she easily blocked with Protect. She then dropped the shield and launched another Aura Sphere. The attack hit the Metang head on, knocking it unconscious. They had secured a spot in the semi-final round...

...They stood ready on the battlefield once more, this time facing a young woman and her Umbreon. The Umbreon attacked first, using Quick Attack. The move hit, but, being a Normal-type move, it wasn't very effective against Tamash?. The Umbreon then used Dig, disappearing below the ground.

Tamash? quickly found the Umbreon's Aura, and managed to dodge when it resurfaced. She then countered with a point-blank Aura Sphere, causing a massive amount of damage to her Dark-type opponent.

The Umbreon went flying back, barely keeping its balance when it landed. It took a shaky step forward, then collapsed, knocked out by the damage it had taken. Valor and Tamash? had made it to the final round...

...This was it, the final leg of the contest. For the last time, Valor took up a position at one end of the battlefield, Tamash? by his side. She stepped out onto the field, and their opponent unleashed his own pokémons. There was a brief flash of light, then Valor and Tamash? found themselves looking at a Serperior.

Valor's first thought was 'Oh shit,' and his second thought, accompanied by a sigh, was 'And now she's cowering behind me again.' Tamash? was indeed behind him, hiding from the Grass-type snake pokémon that she was supposed to battle.

There was murmuring coming from the audience as they tried to make sense of what was going on. The announcer woman caught Valor's attention and said, "I'm sorry, but if your Lucario doesn't re-enter the battlefield in the next thirty seconds, you will be disqualified."

Valor turned around to face Tamash?. "Listen, it's just a Serperior. You can do this. I believe in you, Tamash?."

She shook her head furiously. "I can't. I just can't do this Valor. Not against a snake. I'm sorry, okay, but I just can't."

"Alright then." Valor turned back to the announcer and said, "We're done. I forfeit." Then he took Tamash? by the shoulder and they walked off the stage, leaving behind a number of confused expressions. *** His stood from his seat in the audience and began to make his way toward the backstage area. He had been watching that young man and his Lucario throughout the whole contest, as they had caught his interest. At least the Lucario had, anyway.

He arrived in the contestants' waiting room, where Valor was sitting, apparently talking to his Lucario. "Look Tamash?, it's not your fault, okay? I told you before, everyone has something they're really afraid of. It's okay."

"Pardon me, you're...Valor, correct?"

Valor turned around and stood up, surprised by the presence of another person. "Uh, yeah. Who are you?"

"My name, is Lawrence." He said with a slight bow of his head.

"Okay. Is there...something I can help you with Lawrence?"

He nodded. "In fact, there is a matter in which you can assist me. You see, I am what you might refer to as...a collector."

"And what does that have to do with me?"

"I am a collector of rare and unique pokémon, and my considerable wealth has allowed me to gather a rather nice collection."

Valor scowled, not liking what he was hearing. "I'll ask again: what does that have to do with me?"

Lawrence smiled. "I would like to purchase your Lucario. She is clearly a quite unique specimen."

"Excuse me?!"

"Money is no object. I can give you as much as you-"

"No."

Lawrence blinked in surprise, not used to such a reaction. "You don't seem to understand. You could spend the rest of your life living like...well, not a king, but certainly like someone of great importance."

"Tamash? is NOT for sale." Valor stated firmly.

"Come now. Be reasonable. One pokémon in exchange for a lifetime of financial security."

"Get this through your head, Lawrence: she is NOT for sale, and no amount of money will change that. End of discussion. Come on Tamash?, we're leaving." With that he and Tamash? walked, leaving Lawrence in a foul mood.

He wasn't used to being denied the things he desired. If he thinks this is over, Lawrence thought, then he is in for an awful surprise.

*** When they arrived back at the Cove Lily Hotel that night they were stopped by the woman behind the front desk, saying she had a message for Valor. "It's from someone who I believe said his name was 'Galen'."

Valor blinked in surprise. "Oh, uh, okay. So, what's the message?"

"He said, and I quote: The Council has chosen a replacement. You can leave any time you want. Take care of yourself kid, and take care of 'blue' too, not that you wouldn't." She paused, then asked, "Did any of that make sense to you?"

Valor sighed. "Yeah, it all did. Thanks."

Valor and Tamash? then returned to their room, both exhausted, and both glad that they could put Lilycove behind them.

The next morning, after finding and saying goodbye to Holly, the left the city, bound for Sinnoh, and Snowpoint City.
