Chapter 41: Shares [2/2]
For a little while, Max enjoyed the calmness and warmth of the water. Then, as he was almost all limb in the water, he felt some waves around him. Opening his eyes, he looked around as if a pokemon had entered the water nearby. However, no one was to be seen.
"Hm, probably a fish pokemon." Max guessed before closing his eyes again.
A few seconds later, Max then felt the wave again but a bit stronger. For a moment, he mostly ignored it until he felt the water pressure around him started to change, like if it was getting 'thicker'. When he felt the thick water above his thighs, Max quickly got suspicious and opened his eyes. To his surprise, he still wasn't seeing anything, even under the water. Then, as Max was slightly getting creeped out, the water mass began to get more opaque and tangible before a blue coloration began to appear. When the transformation was complete, a blue pokemon's head emerged from the water a few inches away from Max's face. The head was blue pale on most of the face and dark blue on the forehead and had fins on its sides and top with a white fin-like collar around the neck.
"Oh… h-hi little guy." Max greeted, feeling a bit uncomfortable about the wild pokemon proximity and sudden appearance. "I… believe you're a vaporeon, right?" He told a bit nervously.
As for a response, the vaporeon only eyed him for a moment before a smile appeared on its face. Before Max could speak again, the water pokemon slowly dived underwater once again with its head facing his crotch.
"Hemm… what are you… Ah."
While speaking, Max was interrupted by a wet and slightly cold tongue running across his flaccid member.
"I… hope you're a little girl then," Max mumbled, already knowing where it was going.
Looking at the fish/mammal body of the vaporeon, Max then felt his tip being wrapped by something that was feeling like the mouth of the pokemon. With its lips an inch further than the tip, the vaporeon then began to assault the tip with its tongue, varying the speed and pressure while exploring the entire the surface with it. Quickly, Max was grasped by pleasure and made him slowly getting harder over time. When it was semi-hard, the pokemon then engulfed half of the shaft in its mouth before starting to do a back and forth motion. Surely it wasn't as expertly done as Scarlet or Bonny, but there was still some skill that Max couldn't resist. In a matter of seconds, Max was fully hard, to the water pokemon's enjoyment. Even though Max liked the service she was giving, he believed that it wasn't what she was looking for when she stopped and popped her head above the water again a few seconds later.
"You're quite good at this."
Still smiling, the vaporeon then moved forwards while popping out the upper half of her body before putting her two front paws on Max's chest, making her lower part pretty much aligned to his crotch. While looking at Max in the eyes with a warm smile, the vaporeon then began to rub her entrance against his tip. Before Max could do or say anything, the vaporeon pushed until her folds got separated by Max's shaft, forcing it to go all the way inside her tight, slightly cold, and extremely slippery vagina.
"Humpf." Max lowly moaned, unable to contain it due to the surprise.
As her smile grew a bit wider with the appearance of lustful eyes, the vaporeon then began to slowly move up and down, shocking Max with intense pleasure at every movement. Quickly, the wild pokemon began to moan regularly with her breath getting faster. Now that the element of surprise was pretty much in the past, Max didn't want to stay that passive and put his hands on the pokemon's hips to help her a bit. Unfortunately, her skin was like the one of a fish, even though softer, which was making him impossible to have a grip. Nevertheless, he kept his hands there and began to fondle her, in the hope it will provide at least a minimum of pleasure to the pokemon. Luckily for him, it seems to more or less work as the vaporeon began to go a bit faster and stronger with her moans getting slightly louder.
After a moment, pleasure seems to have overwhelmed the vaporeon quite a bit as her long and slender tongue was sticking out with sticky-looking saliva drooling from it. At that sight, lust also took over Max and made him gently grab her head to pull her into a kiss while wrestling the pokemon's tongue that was now inside his mouth. While gently sucking on her tongue, Max kept kissing the slightly confused but still aroused pokemon until the pokemon got carried away and began to mimic the human, making out with the human. The new actions seem to have added an extra amount of pleasure to the water pokemon, making the small claws of her front lightly sinking into the human skin without hurting him, kind of like a cat that is being stroked by a human. Still making out with the vaporeon, Max wrapped his arms around her with one hand fondling her rear while his other one was rubbing the back of her head. For the water pokemon, it was way more stimulating than she was used to and quickly felt an orgasm coming up after a few minutes. When she hit it, she breaks the kiss to loudly moan ecstatically while her entire body went all stiff with her inside crushing Max's shaft with extreme narrowness. When it was done, she stopped moving while resting her head on the human's shoulder, lightly panting.
"It felt good I see," Max commented, rubbing her sides.
After resting for a few seconds, the vaporeon stared at the human's eyes once again with lewd eyes before her smile reappeared. After starting to ride him once again, she leaned forwards and began to lick him quite eagerly while gently nibbling on him from time to time. Due to her sensitivity, the vaporeon was going rather slowly at first but quickly sped up after a short moment, feeling intense pleasure again. Due to her being slightly tighter than before, it was slowly getting harder for Max to contain himself, feeling an orgasm coming up slowly. After accelerating one last time a moment later, the vaporeon had its two front paws around Max's neck with her head beside his, almost moaning in Max's ears. As her inside was twitching once again, her tail was starting to uncontrollably hit the surface of the water, splashing water everywhere. When she was close again to another orgasm, she heard the human lowly growl in pleasure while feeling the coveted hot male juice inside her cool love tunnel, triggering her second orgasm. With her entire body going all stiff, she lightly bit Max on the shoulder until her body relaxed, going limp on him a moment later. After she regained most of her breath, she raised her head to look at Max one last time with satisfied eyes.
"That was really enjoyable." Max praised.
Even though she didn't understand human language, the vaporeon smiled and licked one of his cheeks one time before unplugging herself from him and disappearing in the water.
"Phew… good thing the girls aren't jealous. Otherwise, I would be so dead right now." Max told to himself while resting his head against the boulder behind.
After a moment, he decided that it was enough and decided it was time to leave before another one came to rape him again. Not that he disliked his last encounter though, but he just didn't want to have intercourse with a way uglier pokemon. Just imagining how horrifying a sex experience with a pokemon like a gyarados could be was enough to make his spine shiver. Since he had to go a bit further to find the boulder, it took Max a moment to reach the other side of the lake, where his clothes were. Then, as he was getting out of the water, he almost freaked out when he saw that his clothes had disappeared.
"Goddamnit."
After quickly looking around a bit in panic, Max tried to calm himself down by telling him that it was probably May or Bonny that was messing with him.
"Real mature girls." Max hollered, still looking around.
After a moment, Max spotted a single sock a bit further, close to the forest. After going close to it and grabbed it, he saw another one further.
"I could bet anything that it's Bonny that want to lead me into a sex trap."
After gathering it, Max saw his pants further in the woods. After a moment, he had gathered pretty much everything except his underwear, where he found it at the base of a tree.
(Well, it's not very well thought out, but I can't argue against her devotion.) Max thought while getting on his knees to grab it.
Then, as he was about to grab it, something very sticky land on his hand. At first, it was looking like a string shot attack, immobilizing his fingers. Before he could do anything about it, another string shot attack landed on his elbow and pulled him on his feet.
"What the…"
At this moment, a couple more strands cover a huge part of his upper torso before being pulled into the air.
"Whoaaa!"
After being in the air for a few seconds, Max felt himself landing in something soft but very sticky. As soon as he was on it, he found that all of his limbs were glued to the strange substance.
"What the fuck is going on!" He bawled to no one in particular.
Since he was able to move his head a bit, he could from the corner of his eyes that he was now on something that was looking like a giant spider web a few meters above the ground. A few seconds later, he saw two yellow spider pokemon appearing in his field of view. He didn't know the pokemon yet but guessed they were electric type when he saw small electrical sparks popping on their body.
"What… the hell do you want from me?" Max demanded aggressively.
Obviously enough, the pokemon ignored him and kept getting near him while easily moving through the spider web. When they were both above him and on each side, Max was starting to feel fear. He never saw or heard about those pokemon, so he was getting worried about what they were about to do. Then, after they glared at him for a moment, one of them moved right above his chest while the other moved over his head. A second later, the one above him began to inspect him or taste him by tracing its mandibles across his chest. While mostly tickling, Max felt warmth and a bit of wetness coming from them. At a moderate speed, the electrical spider pokemon began to move lower. After passing his belly, the pokemon kept moving lower, making Max starting to anticipate their intention. He proved himself right when the pokemon stopped at his crotch level and began to assault his member with its wet and warm mandible. Then, a second later, he felt his shaft being engulfed into a weirdly shaped hole, probably the spider's mouth. Now Max was certain, they wanted to mate with him, and that was something he didn't want. Not with that kind of pokemon. Suddenly, as soon as Max got their attention and told himself that he didn't want it, a black spherical projectile hit the assaulting pokemon, propelling it against one of the trees that was holding the spider web in place. Despite some black burnt marks, the pokemon didn't seem that injured. Staying place while looking around, the spider pokemon then dodged in extremis another Shadow Ball attack, breaking a huge part of the tree and the spider web. Unable to see the threat, both of the wild pokemon fled, leaving Max hanging in their web.
"Hey! Come back and free me!" Max ordered.
Even though he didn't see them coming back, he felt every part of his body that was glued on the web being suddenly unglued, making him fall towards the ground. Even though he wasn't high enough to injure him, he was enough to hurt him a bit. However, a second after he began falling, he felt himself floating and almost weighting nothing until he safely landed on the ground.
"Scarlet?" Max queried, recognizing the warm energy the he was engulfed a second ago.
Looking around, he didn't see anything besides his clothes that had appeared above him and landed on his head.
"Scarlet? Is that you?"
Not having a response after a moment, Max sighed and began to dress up.
"… If it was you, Scarlet, thanks a lot." Max thanked her after he was all dressed up.
After sighing one more time, Max then began to walk towards where he first arrived in hopes of finding one of his team members. After a little while, he came across Dusk. By the look on her face, it was like she was looking for something.
{There you are master. Are you okay?} She inquired as she just found what she was looking for.
"Yeah, more or less." He answered, glad to see her.
{Did something happen?} she asked while going next to him.
"How can you tell?"
{Well, I felt like you could be in trouble a moment ago, so I went up searching for you.}
"You felt it? like Scarlet?"
{I-I think so. She had started to teach me how to track you with your brain waves, but I'm still not very good at it. I guess that all I can do for now is to have very faint feelings.}
"Oh, that's great. Give it some time and you will be like her."
{So, what happened?} she asked, quite concerned.
"Nothing too dramatic, really. Just some pokemon that wanted me without my consent."
{What? That's terrible!} Dusk exclaimed, slightly horrified.
"No big deal. At least they weren't planning on hurting me, I think."
{How did you escape?}
"… A pokemon helped me," Max responded, going with what Scarlet would have wanted, even though he still wasn't hundred percent sure it was her.
{I'm very glad he or she did.} Dusk replied happily.
"Yeah, me too. Those weren't very appealing, so good thing I managed to avoid that."
{What kind of pokemon it was?}
"Yellow electric spiders, I don't know their name."
{Me neither.}
"Anyway, it's over now. Let's find the others so we can start building up the camp."
{What are you gonna do now that we can't use the tent anymore?}
"… I don't know. I still have the mattresses and pillows, so I guess we'll sleep under the stars."
{… That won't be very convenient if it rains.}
"Yeah. Luckily, we rarely got rainy weather at night until now, so let's hope it will continue. I also hope that the next town has a shop where we can buy a new one."
{What do we do if it rains tonight?}
"What do pokemon usually do under those circumstances?"
{Most wild pokemon, if not all of them, have a home to get shelter from.}
"Well, you have your pokeball."
{What about you?}
"…"
{So you're saying we should be comfortable and protected in our pokeball while you stay under the rain? Sorry master, but that won't work for me.} Dusk denied fervently, almost sounding upset.
"What's the point of getting all of us wet if you can have shelter?"
{I would feel bad all the time, knowing that I'm okay but you're not. I would prefer getting cold with you than letting you freeze out here alone.}
"… Should I be concerned or happy by that devotion?"
{Happy, I guess. Staying together will keep us warm anyway.}
"… True. We'll see if the problem ever comes."
{I hope it never will.}
"For that, we agree." Max agreed, petting his braixen.
While walking, both of them came across Aurora who was still napping at the same place.
"Hey Aurora, we're about to set up camp. Want to join?"
{… Maybe later.} Aurora responded after briefly looking at him with one eye.
"All right. We'll make it as close as possible." Max informed before resuming his walk with Dusk.
A couple meters later, they still hadn't encountered May or Bonny but arrived at a rather spacious zone where they could set up camp.
"This should do."
{Yes. I'll start getting what we need. You can rest in the meantime.}
"I'm okay, I should go get Bonny and May."
{No master, rest. You need it. The others will come eventually.}
"How will they know where we are?"
{I'll tell them, don't worry.} a familiar voice above them told.
Turning and raising his head, Max saw Luna lying on her stomach on a high and thick branch on a nearby tree.
{Thanks, Luna.} Dusk thanked before leaving.
"… You like doing that, don't you?" Max queried, looking at Luna with crossed arms.
{Doing what?} the zoroark asked innocently.
"Appearing from nowhere before sneaking up behind me before surprising me."
{Sorry if I scared you, but it's not my fault if you're not aware of your surroundings. I wasn't even trying.} Luna replied with a prideful grin.
"Like hell, it would make a difference with you."
{Hihi.} Luna giggled.
"So let me guess, you're gonna babysit me so I rest as Dusk asked?"
{I'm not your mother little pup, you can do whatever you want. However, I do recommend you rest a bit, especially after a rather busy afternoon.}
"… You saw me?"
{Not really, but you have a wild pokemon's lewd scent all over you, so I'm guessing you went 'hunting' on your own.} She told with a mischievous grin.
"I didn't, she's the one that came over me. I'm the victim."
{Aw, poor little puppy.} Luna quipped. {I'm guessing it's also the case of the second one?}
"… How?"
{You have two different scents on you that I have never smelled.}
"… That's one hell of a strong nose you have."
{Most zoroark have one, but I must admit than mine is exceptional, even amongst my kind.}
"Good for you," Max replied before sitting at the base of the tree she was in.
{Is it possible that you still have a bit of a grudge against me?}
"No, that's not it. It's just that my journey is starting to get quite… rotten if you know what I mean."
{Hardly, but I can guess. Something happened recently?}
"Besides the departure of Scarlet, not really."
{Well, I've noticed that you have been feeling more and more down since she left. Do you miss her that much?}
"Yeah, I miss her a lot, but she will be back someday, so all I have to do is to be patient. It does feel a bit empty around here when she's not there."
{I can understand. After all, you do love her a lot.}
"And that, it's besides all the shit that is happening. First, that bitchy gardevoir that almost killed me and Bonny, then the lumberjacks that almost robbed us like you said, and now… other shit."
{… Hmm. I'm no psychic type, but I'm guessing that a bad thing happened to you very recently.}
"… More or less."
{Does it have a link with the two unknown scents on you?}
"… Not really." Max lied.
For a few seconds, Luna inspected him from above.
{Ever told you that you're a bad liar?}
"… Once, I think."
{I see. Yet, you still try?}
"… No." Max lied again.
{You know, if you don't want to talk about it, you could just say so.}
'sigh' "… Can I ask you something?"
{Sure.}
"Has my scent that attracts female pokemon had increased since we first met?"
{Hm, now that you say it, maybe slightly. The change is insignificant enough to be barely noticeable. Why do you ask?}
"I think it may bring me problems in the future."
{How so?}
"… Well, the first encounter was with a vaporeon and it was rather pleasant, but…"
{The second one less?} Luna guessed.
"… Yeah. I was almost raped by two yellow electric spider pokemon."
{Ah yes, galvantulas. Quite the nasty pokemon when they want to be. Bug-type pokemon are pretty sensitive when it comes to pheromones. I'm guessing bugs aren't really your thing.}
"Not really."
{They were probably in their mating season. You just got unlucky.}
"Hope it won't happen too often."
{Come on now little pup, every pokemon need some loving every now and then.} Luna jested.
At that, Max glared suspiciously at her.
{Haha, I'm just teasing you. I agree that a galvantula isn't the most attractive pokemon there is.}
"Yeah, there are way cuter pokemon than them."
{Really? Like which?} Luna asked, almost seductively.
"Hemm… like… a gardevoir and a lopunny."
{And a vaporeon apparently.}
"Yeah."
{What about a zoroark?} Luna demanded almost lewdly.
"Hemm…" Max hummed with surprised wide eyes. "They're… okay I suppose." He answered with a red face.
{Just okay? Hmm, how disappointing.} She replied with a fake sad voice.
"You really want me to say that you're pretty?"
At that, Max's eyes go wide again at realizing what he just said.
{Pretty huh?} Luna repeated with a rather satisfied tone and grin. {I suppose it's a start.}
"S-so, what are the others doing?" Max inquired, changing the subject.
{Last time I saw them they were training together.}
"Oh, cool."
{Do you want to go get them?}
"Maybe later."
{Okay.}
"… So why don't we take that time to try to know each other a bit more."
{There's not much to say about me, but if you wish.}
"I was wondering, you didn't answer when I asked about your age."
{Still curious about it, huh?}
"Well, you did call Scarlet kiddo, so it must mean you're older than her."
{I am.}
For a moment, Max waited for an answer that never came.
"So? How old are you?"
Luna then took a deep breath while doing a thoughtful face.
{… Well, I guess I can tell you since we are close enough now. I'm 31.}
"Oh. You look younger than that." Max tried to compliment.
{Oh, stop it, you.} Luna replied with a fake embarrassed tone. {You're just saying that.}
"Of course not."
{Really now? What's the first sign of old age on a zoroark then?}
"What? Hemm…"
{Haha, gotcha.}
"Shame on me for trying to be nice."
{Yeah, that's what you get.} Luna jested, playing along.
At that, Max looked funnily at her.
{Haha, I knew you weren't serious, so I got into your game.}
"How can you tell?"
{You didn't use your serious tone.}
"… I tried to."
{My nose isn't my only strong sense little pup.}
"You can see through anything almost like a psychic?"
{I wouldn't say that, but most pokemon or humans tend to overlook the subtlety of micro-changes into others' expressions. That could be the voice tone or face habit when lying or scared.}
"Where or how did you learn all of that?"
{One must have many skills in order to survive, or in my case, also trick others.}
"So you're good at lying?"
{Remember how I told you that I didn't intend to kill you when we first met? It was a lie. I did try to kill you. Good thing you have good reflexes.}
"… What? So I was right to be scared of you then."
{That also was a lie.}
"Hemm… what?" Max replied, confused.
{The truth is that I really didn't want to kill you. That's how a real lie works.}
"… Thanks for the instruction I guess." Max thanked, quite relieved.
{You're welcome. By the way, what is your age?}
"I'm 21."
{Hmm, a bit younger than me. What a shame.} She replied with a fake disappointed tone.
"For someone that isn't interested in me, you sure do joke a lot about it."
{To be honest, there is not much to do besides annoying you a bit.} she joked.
"Why not train with the others then?"
{Train? What for?}
"Well, for battle and such."
{Hmm… that could be a good idea, but I don't feel like it.}
"Lazy I see."
{Maybe,} Luna answered back while resting her head on the branch.
"All right. Then tell me more about you."
{About what?}
"Well, I want to know who Luna is. What were you doing before we met?"
{Besides keeping myself alive like everyone else, nothing much.}
"Really? No stories, no family to talk about."
{Not really.} Luna retorted, not interested.
"… Okay. Quite the mysterious type I see."
{Not everything is good to tell. Especially since I don't know you much. Maybe I'll tell you more when our relationship's better.}
"Quite straightforward as well."
{Honesty is the basis of every relationship, don't you agree?}
"I suppose, even though you already said that." Max agreed while resting his head and back against the tree. "Quick question, where do you go when it's raining or cold outside?"
{Well, for the cold, I barely feel it, even in the coldest days. As for the rain, I mostly search for caves and holes I can stay in until it calms down. I like, however, to wander under a warm rain.}
"Oh, you like to get wet?" Max joked.
Again, his habits had taken the best of him and said something rather inappropriate.
{You could say that.} Luna replied with a very faint hint of a seductive tone.
"Sorry. That's the kind of joke I say with the others."
{Don't worry, I don't mind spicy talk from time to time.}
"You sure don't mind a lot of things."
{Even though I like keeping my secrets for myself, I'm a rather simple pokemon that tries to go with the flow.}
"Not peckish huh?"
{Not at all.}
"Kinda good news actually. I'm sure I won't have any trouble with you."
{Not in the slightest.}
"However, if you have a problem with anything or something in your mind, just tell me okay."
{Rest assured little pup, I'm a big girl that can take care of herself.}
"Big girl is a well-chosen word."
{It's no secret that I'm much bigger than your usual zoroark. Quite intimidating for males, unfortunately. Oh well, that's not so bad since I don't like weak males anyway.}
"Does that mean you don't like me?"
{Who said you were weak?}
"No need to. Any of you could easily beat me up if you wanted to."
{Well, maybe when next to a pokemon, but for a human, you look rather strong, and that's quite respectable.}
"Thanks." Max thanked, half glad to hear that.
{Cheer up little pup, I said I don't like weak males, but strength can take many forms you know. You showed me a rather impressive and strong spirit. I'm sure that even against me or your gardevoir you would stand your ground until your last breath. That is something I like.}
{As for me, I like a male that can stay on his feet master.} Dusk shared, which SHE had appeared from the woods with a pile of dead woods and branches floating above her.
{See? Strength isn't all about physical feats.}
"Maybe."
{… We should be okay for the night with that.} Dusk told after setting everything up.
"Well, we still have a few hours before it starts getting dark, so what's the plan?"
{… Well…} Dusk shyly started.
"Yes?"
{… W-we could… you know…} She told while shyly playing with her fingers and barely looking at Max.
"Oh," Max replied, getting what she meant.
{Well, I suppose that's my cue to leave the young ones alone. Have fun.} Luna wished with a grin before disappearing into the woods.
"Quite bold I see."
{S-sorry. I would understand if you don't feel like it.}
"No, it's okay. I'm getting better, thanks to all of you. After all, even if one of you is momentarily absent, I'm not alone."
{Are you sure? I don't want to make you do things for my own selfishness.}
"I already told you that it's not a selfish demand Dusk. Come on."
{… O-okay. But do you mind… if you're the one… that leads?}
"Not at all," Max responded before Dusk got closer to him. "Quite the submissive type I see," he added while gently pushing her on the ground on her back before going above her.
{D-don't tell the others… b-but I really like when you're the dominating one and that I…} Dusk shyly shared before stopping at mid-sentence.
"You what?" Max demanded while starting to fondle her chest.
{… I… love being your… v-victim.} She lowly confessed before looking away.
"Victim? Oh! Do you perhaps… have a rape fetish?" Max queried with a predatory grin.
{P-please, don't tell anyone.} She embarrassingly commanded while hiding half of her face.
"Hehe, don't worry my pretty. What happens between us, stays between us. Now…" He reassured before grabbing her arms and pushed them on each side of her. "Be quiet while I'm eating you."
As soon as she felt Max going a bit more aggressively, she moaned in anticipation while feeling a twitch in her nether region, getting already excited by his behavior. Instead of going directly for her lips like Dusk expected, Max rather goes for her neck, starting to gently kiss her all over it. Quickly, Dusk began to lowly moan regularly while rubbing her legs together, already getting wet. Shortly enough, Max went upwards and pressed his lips against hers, still gently kissing them. She then waited that Max pushed his tongue against hers, which happened a few seconds later. Even though she liked being the submissive one, there were things that she couldn't do like preventing herself from trying to push her tongue inside his tongue instead of the opposite. For a moment, they fight for dominance until Max broke it.
"How about I go for a tastier pair of lips?" Max told lewdly.
{I… you're the one that... gets to decide, master.} She retorted while strongly rubbing her legs together, obviously craving for him to go there.
"Eh, whether you want it or not, I'm gonna eat you Dusk."
At that, Max slowly moved down south while giving occasional kisses here and there, feeling the braixen slightly shaking in anticipation. Unable to contain a smile at her pokemon eagerness, Max kept going down until he was an inch away above her womanhood. Wanting to tease her more, he then goes for her inner thighs, kissing them.
{M-master… p-please.} Dusk begged.
"Something to say?" Max asked with a mix of lewdness and authority.
After Dusk shook her head, Max smiled one more time before resumed where he left. However, he didn't want to make her wait for too long, so he slowly approached her sacred place and began to lick her outer labia. Upon hearing an almost painful moan from the braixen, Max then kissed her clit, making the fire pokemon lightly flinch in anticipation and relief. After giving a few more kisses, Max stuck his tongue out before pressing against it, making Dusk sink her front paws claws on the ground in pleasure. Max then immediately began to swirl and twirl on it, making Dusk's breathing going faster a few seconds later.
{Master…} Dusk moaned. {P-please. Go faster.}
If she was begging for Max to go rougher on her that quickly, it must mean that she was really enjoying it. Wanting to pleasure her as much as possible, Max goes with her desires and went faster. With her moans getting louder, Dusk's hind legs were now the ones that were sinking their claws in the ground. With the braixen getting wetter and wetter, Max was occasionally teasing her by shoving his tongue inside her honey pot before going back at her clit.
{Master… I'm… pretty close to reaching it.} Dusk lustfully told after a little while.
To make things better for her, Max then began to finger her while eating her, doubling the pleasure she was receiving. Shortly after, Dusk's body began to shiver in pleasure while strongly grasping the ground under her. Then, unable to bear it anymore, her entire body went stiff as she put her two front paws over her maw to prevent herself from screaming ecstatically all over the forest. After going limp with her lower part twitching a bit from the intense orgasm, Dusk was taking deep breathes while being slightly light-headed.
"So? How was that?" Max asked while crawling over her until they were face to face.
{That felt… amazing master.} She answered with half-closed eyes and a smile.
"Good. Always heartwarming when I know my girls are happy and satisfied."
{Well… I-I'm happy, but…} Dusk replied, hesitant.
"But what?"
{But… not… quite… s-satisfied?} Dusk shyly shared, fearing to upset her master.
"… Hehe, I guess not. We still have to go through the main part."
{Y-yeah.}
"I'm quite glad that you're starting to be confident about all of this Dusk."
{W-well, I'm still really embarrassed, but I'm trying my best.}
"You're doing a good job." Max praised, rubbing her soft chest.
{I know you won't laugh at me and that you respect me about what I want.}
"And I always will, my pretty," Max confirmed, now rubbing the side of her head, making her blush heavier. "Are you ready for the next step?"
{Yes master,} Dusk answered almost eagerly.
"Good."
At that, Max pulled his pants down just a little so only his hard shaft could step out of them before starting to poke her soaking wet entrance with his tip.
"That should go in pretty easily," Max commented before starting to push.
Obviously enough, Max went in rather easily as he was at the bottom in one thrust, making Dusk moan in pleasure and relief.
{Yes master, mate with me.} the braixen gently urged lustfully.
"As you wish, pretty girl."
At that, Max immediately began to pull and push rather gently since it was his delicate Dusk. As usual, her inside was scorching hot and quite narrow, making the pleasure quite intense for Max. After starting to moan a bit loudly, Dusk wrapped her small arms around Max's neck with closed eyes and depraved face. Quickly enough, her hind legs followed and went around his waist as well, almost pulling him at every thrust. Unfortunately for Max, the more he was going, the hotter she seems to get, making things really tough for Max.
"Damn Dusk, I think you're the one that I have the most difficulty with. You feel so good with your hotness." Max praised after he went a bit faster.
{Just… release it… whenever you want… master.} She told between moans.
"It might… be closer than I expected."
{In that case… go faster. That way… I'll be close too.}
"All right."
Like she asked, Max went faster and a bit stronger, making Dusk tighten her grasp around him.
{I'm… close master.} Dusk moaned.
"Me too. Just a little bit more."
As for the last sprint, Max went again a bit faster while smashing the pokemon's cervix. With Max close to his climax, Dusk was the first to reach it, going all stiff while choking Max's shaft with her internal contractions, triggering his orgasm as well. After a quite long-lasting orgasm, while pouring his seeds inside the braixen, Max stopped moving while very lightly panting.
"Now we are both satisfied."
{Looks like it.} Dusk answered with a warm smile.
After kissing Dusk's forehead, Max unplugged himself from her and put his soldier back in its barrack.
"And just when I had a bath a few minutes ago," Max commented before helping Dusk to stand.
{You still can take another one later.} She told when on her feet.
"True."
{As for me, I'll go right now to get myself all cleaned up.}
"All right. Be careful though, pokemon around here can sometimes get quite… invasive."
{Really?} Dusk replied, looking at him funnily.
"Don't look at me like that. I swear 'I' didn't do anything."
{Of course, you didn't do anything.} Dusk quipped, knowing what he was talking about. {And I suppose you didn't fight back.}
"Actually, when those two galvantulas tried to rape me, yes I did."
{… Two gal… Oh. I'm… very sorry master.} Dusk apologized, feeling guilty. {I didn't know it was that kind of pokemon.}
"Yeah."
{Do you know who saved you?}
"Nope. What matters is that I managed to getaway. I may be into pokemon, but there are some that aren't really my type. Bug-type pokemon being one of them."
{Hope it won't happen again.}
"Me too."
{I suppose that we can't really leave you alone.}
"I'm sure that I was just at the wrong place at the wrong moment. No need to blow a fuss over that."
{I don't really want to risk your safety master.}
"Well, with Scarlet and Bonny's training, I'll be able to fight back on my own eventually."
{That would reassure me a lot.} Dusk expressed, even though she couldn't help but be a bit skeptical.
"Well, I guess some training on my own could be fun. There's not much more to do anyway. I should have at least bought a game console or something while traveling."
{What is a… game console?}
"A little electronic things human use to play virtual games. It helps pass the time and it can be very fun."
{Oh. Could I… try it if you ever get one?}
"Of course Dusk, if you know how to use it."
{You can teach me.}
"That too. Well, have a good bath then." Max wished before leaving her.
{Thanks. Later master.}
Not really knowing where to train, Max wandered in the woods for a moment before he came across Aurora who was walking towards him from his left.
"Hehe, for a big forest, we sure stumble into each other a lot around here."
{… We don't really go far away. We all stay in a couple of meters radius so you don't get lost.} Aurora replied haughtily.
"Thanks for caring for me."
{I-I don't.} She protested while looking away with a faint blush. {It's just that it will be a pain in the rear to look for your lost sorry ass all over the forest.}
"Agree. After all, you're a busy lucario."
{… What's that supposed to mean?} Aurora demanded, a bit upset by his words.
"N-nothing. I… just wanted to tease you a bit too since, well… you pretty much do the same." Max told, understanding that they maybe weren't there yet with their relationship.
{I'm not… teasing you, I'm just stating facts.}
"… Sorry."
{Whatever. Anyway, what were you about to do?}
"Why are you asking?"
{Oh, a lucario can't be curious now?} She replied a bit angrily.
"Of course you can. Geez Aurora, you don't have to get that defensive at every word I say."
{Hmpf.} she huffed, looking away again.
"Well, if you really wanted to know, I was thinking about training on my own for a while, but I don't really know where to."
{… Anywhere is a good place, no?}
"Well, I like having some space, you know."
{Nonsense. This place is perfect.}
"This place? You mean…"
{I mean this place where we are.} Aurora told, getting in a fighting position.
"Whoa whoa, calm down Aurora, I said I was sorry." Max apologized again while taking a step back.
{Don't be ridiculous. You said you wanted to train, so why not with me?}
"With you?"
{A problem with training with me instead of that perverted lopunny?}
"She's not… I mean, yeah, she's pretty much a pervert… but that's not the question. Are you sure about this?"
{You can say right away that you don't want to train with me.} She angrily accused.
"No no, that's not it."
{What's the problem then?}
"It's just… do you really want to train with someone as weak as me? I mean that Bonny or the others could be a better challenge for you."
{Who said I wanted a challenge?}
"Why do you want to help me then?"
{Because if I'm stuck with you, I want to at least be with a strong trainer.}
"Strong enough to beat a pokemon?" Max slightly quipped.
{Strong enough to at least have a chance to survive.}
"… You girls sure like to hit me, do you?"
{Shut up and get ready.}
"… All right. If I must die today." Max complied after sighing while getting in a fighting position.
{Come on now, it's not like I would go full power at you.}
"Thanks," Max replied sarcastically.
{Here I come then.} Aurora told before launching herself at Max.
After getting on guard, Max blocked an incoming lateral kick From Aurora. Judging by the force of the impact, she was indeed going easy on him so as not to break anything this time. Then, even though the impact made him move a bit, it wasn't strong enough to make him lose his balance, so Aurora chained with another lateral kick but on the other side. Moving his arms the other way, Max expected to be able to block it but fell on the ground after feeling it hit both of his ankles.
"… Ouch…" Max lowly mumbled when on his back, more or less serious. "Feinting before going for a sweep? Nice one."
{Already on the ground? You put up more of a fight at the dojo.}
"Yeah well, you know. Some days you feel it, and others you don't." Max shared while standing up, making excuses.
{… If you say so.} Aurora replied, getting ready again.
"All right, my turn this time."
Not being serious himself, Max only goes for a simple tackle. Then, as Max was about to grab her, he felt one of his arms being grabbed before seeing the world upside-down and landing on his back more roughly.
"Ow," Max growled a bit, now really feeling pain.
{You know you can be serious with me. I'm a steel type remember? I'm pretty tough to physical harm.}
"I am, but I guess you're just too strong." Max half lied.
{Are you really trying to make me swallow that bullshit? You were way better the last time we fought. Are you underestimating me again?} She retorted, getting upset.
"Of course not, not after I saw what you're capable of."
{Then what's the matter?}
"I told you, some days-"
{I'm not buying it. Something's fishy here.}
"I don't know what you're talking about." Max lied.
{… Your posture is different, your speed as well. It's like… I'm not fighting the same person.} Aurora pointed out, looking at him suspiciously.
"Well…"
{… I had my suspicions, but now I'm getting more and more convinced that you cheated in that fight.}
"…"
{… I knew it!} Aurora blurted, knowing what his silence was meaning.
'sigh' "I didn't cheat, but you indeed fought someone else."
{How?}
"Scarlet possessed me. Since she's quite good at combat, she efficiently used my body with her combat skill to beat you."
{I knew it. I knew that a human couldn't be that strong without training.} Aurora bawled, upset.
"… Sorry. But I really…"
{Yeah yeah, you really want to help me, I get it.}
"It also allowed us to be together."
{Hmpf, you say it like it was a good thing.} She replied with a faint blush.
"It's not?"
{Not at all.}
"… All right." Max retorted, faking being a bit sad.
{… But I do appreciate your honesty, which is…} Aurora started, struggling to continue after calming down.
"Is?"
{… It… was rather nice. There, I said it and I will never do it again.}
"I don't like to lie, and neither do you, so there was no point in that."
{… I suppose.}
"… You must hate me now, right?"
{I don't hate you, but just dislike you. If it can reassure you, however, it didn't change anything between us.}
"… Thanks."
{I just hope it was the last thing you hide from me.}
"Yeah, pretty much. Wait, that's not true."
{Huh?}
"Do you have a memory of master Setsui having a mega evolution stone?"
{Not as I recall. Why?}
"Well, before leaving, he gave me a lucarionite that we can use."
{A lucarionite?}
"A stone that could allow you to mega evolve."
{Mega evolve?}
"It's a better version of-"
{I know what a mega evolution is. I just can't believe he never told me.} Aurora started to bawl.
"Given the situation and your state of mind, maybe he thought that it wasn't wise to talk to you about it."
{And why is that?}
"Because he probably guessed that you would have coveted it a bit too much for your own good."
{A stone that makes you stronger, who wouldn't want that?} Aurora retorted, a bit upset while crossing her arms.
"Do you even know how mega evolution works?"
{Of course. You grab it and think very hard about mega evolving, and there, you're stronger.}
At hearing that, Max couldn't help but shake his head a bit desperately while sighing.
{What?}
"I guess I have to tell you how it really works."
{That wasn't it?}
"No, not at all. In order to mega evolve, a pokemon and his or her trainer must have a really deep bond and trust each other with their life."
{A bond? Are you saying that I must mate with you in order to mega evolve like your lopunny?}
"Her name is Bonny you know."
{Rha… like Bonny then.} She angrily corrected.
"And no, you don't have too. Just being good friends and caring for each other would be enough."
{… So let me get this straight; for me to mega evolve, we have to be the best friend of all time? Great, just great. Just when I thought I could get stronger.}
"And why couldn't you?"
{Because there is no way you'll… 'I' will never like you enough for that.}
"… 'You' will never like me enough for that?" Max repeated, almost raising an eyebrow.
{Yes, that's what I said. Problem with that?}
"Well, more or less. I mean that without a good friendship, mega evolution will be very tough, if not impossible."
{… 'Hmpf'. If you weren't that annoying, maybe it could have been different.}
"So if I was to be less annoying, we could be friends?"
{… That's possible, but since you really get on my nerves, not gonna happen.}
"Any tip on trying to be less annoying?"
{… Well… you could…} Aurora started, searching for her words.
"Yes?"
{You could… hem… like be less all smoochy all the time with the others.}
"Is that really bothering you?"
{It's quite annoying.}
"I see. I have a question though."
{Hmm?}
"How can this bother you if you're not around me most of the time, if not all the time."
{What kind of question is that?}
"A question that you need to answer for me to be less annoying."
{Well… I'm not answering that. It just is, okay.}
"… Are you perhaps, jealous?"
{Me? Jealous? Of what exactly?}
"I don't know, maybe the attention I give to the others instead of you?"
{Bullshit. I couldn't care less about what you do with the others or me.}
"Then why does it bother you?"
{Because… be… s-shut up.} Aurora ordered angrily, looking away in embarrassment.
Seeing that she had stumbled over her own feet, Max saw no reason to press it further, even though it was amusing him a bit.
"All right. I promise nothing, but I'll try my best to keep it down when you're around. Deal?"
{Whatever.}
"Something else?"
{… Well… for someone that says that he cares for me, you sure don't take a lot of news from me.}
"News? What do you mean?"
{I mean that you know I stay away for a long period of time, but you never really asked if I was okay or if everything went well when you see me.}
"… Would you even answer me?"
{Of course, I would, I'm not an animal.}
"All right, if you really want me to care more about you…"
{I-it's not that I care or anything, it's just that it would at least prove that you indeed care for me and don't tell lies.}
"Noted. Anything else?"
{… N-no, not really.} She lowly confirmed.
"Okay. So in short, you want me to care more about you without being too friendly?"
{N-no, that's not what… Gha, just… forget it okay.} She replied before leaving.
"Wait! What about our training session?"
{It's over.}
"… Okay. Be careful then."
While walking, Aurora briefly looked over her head with an unfazed face before looking forwards.
"That lucario is quite the mystery," Max mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, let's see if Bonny is available for some training. I just hope it won't end up being more than that. Not that I don't like it, but hips muscles aren't the only thing I want to train." he continued while walking.
For a moment, Max kept walking through the forest until he began to hear noises in the distance. By the sound of it, it was like two pokemon were fighting.
(Must be them.) Max thought, walking towards the noises provenance.
Like I guessed, he came across Bonny and May who were sparring together. However, they seemed to be going pretty rough as missed shots were giving quite the impact to their surroundings.
"Hope you girls don't plan on deforesting the area." Max jested when they were only staring at each other.
{Oh, hi there master. I guess we do go quite all out.} Bonny agreed while getting on a normal stance.
{Actually, we were going quite easy compared to a wild pokemon fight.} May corrected, doing the same.
"How bad can it get?" Max asked, a bit curious.
{To the death of one of them sometimes.}
"… Wow."
{But it doesn't happen as often as you may think. Since every pokemon has lethal potential, we think twice before engaging in a fight. Unfortunately, every species has its idiots.}
"Yeah. Good thing stupidity isn't contagious."
{Indeed. Otherwise, me and the others would already have been infected by yours.} Bonny teased.
"Fuck you."
{Is that a proposition?} Bonny inquired seductively.
"Tempting, but no. I was actually looking for you for sparring."
{Sparring huh? Hmm, almost as good.}
{Can I watch?} May asked.
"Of course. You can even participate if you want when Bonny will be tired."
{Ha! The only time you can tire me out is when we mate, and it's when I'm doing all the work.} Bonny shot.
"Said the lopunny that wants her rear rammed every time."
{Hehe, guilty.}
After getting in position, both Max and Bonny began to train together with May watching them while sitting a bit further. As usual, the sparring was consisting of punches and kicks trades while including wrestling and soft projections. When the night was starting to fall, Bonny was sitting on Max's chest that was moving quite fast due to panting a lot. Bonny, on the other hand, was slightly panting with a satisfied grin on her face.
{You're getting a bit better… master.}
"Thanks… but I know… you're just… mocking me," Max replied hardly.
{No I don't master. I legitimately think… that you have improved a bit.}
"It must… be so easy… for you to say… when you're looking… at me from where you are."
{I must admit that I do, but wasn't it you that said that strength wasn't that important?}
"I wonder… if you would stay… that optimistic… if we switched place."
{Wanna try?} She told seductively.
"What?"
While wondering what she could mean, Bonny grabbed him and flipped him over, making him the one on top now.
{Better?} Bonny asked while trying to look defenseless as much as possible.
"Not very fair since I didn't really win."
{Trivial details.}
"… You sometimes," Max commented, shaking his head in desperation.
{So? What are gonna do now that you're in a position of power? Are you gonna eat me?} She inquired cutely while looking innocent.
"You would like that, wouldn't you?"
{Whether I would like it or not, I can't do anything in that position.} She seductively informed.
"Of course you can't," Max replied sarcastically before kissing her.
What was supposed to be a gentle kiss quickly turned into a passionate one with Bonny pulling him with her arms behind his head. After she shoved her tongue inside his mouth, she keeps gently making out with him until he broke it.
"Sorry sexy girl, but I'm afraid I'll have to pass this time."
{Aww… why?} Bonny whined.
"Well, for starters, we have a young girl watching us," Max told before him and she looked at May which was rather eager to see more. "And… I'm getting a bit tired. I think I had enough fun for today." he finished, making Bonny heavily sigh.
{… Fine.} Bonny complied before dropping her arms on the ground a bit angrily.
"Don't be like that Bonny, I'm sure I'll be fresh and vigorous tomorrow."
{You better be and I'm gonna be the first one.}
"Sure thing sexy, you're gonna be my priority tomorrow. For now, I'm just really feeling like having a good rest."
{All right. I guess we can't always have what we want.} She conceded, still a bit upset.
"Sorry." Max apologized while standing up.
{No big deal. It's not like I didn't have some today anyway.} Bonny reassured before being helped by Max to stand up as well.
"Well, if you went easier on me, maybe I would have some energy left."
{Ha, typical you; accusing others of your own problems.} Bonny joked.
"What are you saying? Everything is your fault." Max accused before going towards May.
{Sure it is.} Bonny sarcastically conceded before lightly slapping his butt with one of her ears.
After grabbing May in his arms, all three of them headed towards where Dusk had made a campfire. When there, they saw her all by herself in front of the already ignited campfire.
"You're all alone?" Max asked while putting down his mawile.
{Not really.} Dusk replied before pointing at the top of the closest tree.
Raising his head, he saw Luna lying on a branch like always and waving at him.
"That black fur of yours must be useful in the dark."
{It gives me an advantage, yes.} She simply responded while staring at the fire.
"That and your ability to take any form you want."
{That too.}
"So? How the practice has been going?" Max asked Dusk when sitting next to her.
{It was okay. I still need more training but I'm starting to get a bit better.}
"Nice. What about you Luna? How was your day?"
{Pretty nice too. Chilling here and there.}
"Great. Nice to see that everyone is going well."
Just as he finished his sentence, Max felt a rather cold breeze hitting him.
"Brrrh! Looks like it's gonna be a cold night." Max expressed, crossing his arms.
{You have nothing to fear with me master.} Bonny reassured before hugging his side, making him already feel warmer.
"Thanks, Bonny. You're really a life-saver." Max praised, petting the soft lopunny's fur.
{Me too master.} Dusk intervened, doing the same on the other side.
"Of course, thanks to you too," Max replied, petting Dusk.
{And don't forget about me.} May followed while sitting between his legs.
"Never sweetie." He assured, doing the same with his mawile.
{It's really heartwarming to see how well you're surrounded little pup.} Luna commented.
"Yeah. My team is my biggest pride."
{Just be sure to enjoy it as much as possible because you never know what might happen.}
"I will, but what do you mean?"
{… No one is forever sheltered from tragedy. The best we can do is to enjoy the good moments while they last.} Luna told, slightly in sorrow.
Max was wondering what the meaning behind her sayings was, but starting to know her, she probably won't say anything anyway, yet.
"… Good advice, thanks."
{No problem.}
{… So master? I don't like to be the one to complain, but how far away are we still from our next destination.}
"Let me check," Max responded, taking his pokedex and doing some research. "… All right, Corsocoast is still roughly a week away from here, but we are just a few days away from the next town."
{Okay. Thanks.}
"I just hope there will be a tent seller or something there. Not that I don't enjoy your company girls, but something over my head sure is nicer."
{It's how the human are used to sleeping, so it's very understandable.} Bonny commented.
"You don't like it?"
{Pokemon grow by sleeping outside, but I must admit that it's the best for intimacy. Personally, to me, it doesn't make much of a difference if inside or outside, as long as I'm with you.} Bonny shared, tightening her hug.
"How touchy," Max replied with a sarcastic tone even though he was serious.
{Hihi.}
For a while, they stayed there, enjoying the fire while doing some talking until the sky was completely dark, getting quite late.
{Nonsense! I'm telling you that a jolteon would feel better than a flareon.} Bonny said who was arguing with May.
{How could an electric type feel better than a fire type?} May retorted.
{Easy. All the electrical sparks would directly go through the most sensitive part of him, increasing his pleasure to no end.}
{Heat would be better than that.}
{Let's ask the expert then. Master, which one would be better?}
"How come the conversation took that turn?" Max inquired, a bit desperately.
{That's the consequence of talking about your mating history little pup.} Luna pointed out, still in the tree with a grin.
"You're the ones that started asking me about it."
{No excuses. Now answer master.} Bonny urged, making Max sigh.
"… Well, since I only have experience with a fire type…" Max started while looking at Dusk. "I have to go with fire type."
{Told you.} May replied with a satisfied grin.
{Pfff, he only says that because he never went with an electric type, that's all.} Bonny pouted.
"It's true, I never been, so I can hardly compare them."
{See?} Bonny retorted.
{If you say so.} May answered back, not really caring.
{I do.}
"You don't have to turn everything into competition Bonny."
{It's not about competition, it's about proving that I am right.} Bonny told, slightly upset.
"Okay pretty girl, you're right and we are all wrong, happy?" Max teased.
{No.} the lopunny protested.
"Haha, come on sexy girl, I'm just teasing you," Max informed while pulling her into a stronger hug for a few seconds.
{Ghra.} She growled a bit angrily.
Then, as they were laughing a bit, Max felt a water drop landing on his nose.
"What is that?" Max pondered after rubbing his nose.
{What is what?} Bonny asked before Max felt another drop but on his head.
"… Shit. I think we're about to get it."
{What are you…}
Before she could finish, one water drop fell on one of her eyes.
{Oh. Well shit.} Bonny cursed.
Quickly, more drops started to fall but still at a low rate.
"… Well, I guess we're sleeping in the rain tonight," Max commented, not amused.
{Like hell I would allow that.} Bonny told before shielding Max and May with her huge ears.
"Thanks, but what about you?"
{Don't mind me. Pokemon are pretty tough. Besides, we will be protected by most of the rain under that tree.}
"It won't be perfect."
{Doesn't matter.}
"Well, it does to me."
{And what can you do about it anyway?}
"I…" Max started, unable to answer.
{… M-maybe I can help.} Dusk proposed, sounding a bit unconfident.
"Really? How?" Max inquired, a bit eager to know more.
{W-well, if I do like Scarlet taught me, maybe it will be enough.}
At that, Dusk took her wand and raised it above her, and made a barely visible barrier above everyone's head, shielding them completely from the weather.
"Wow Dusk, that's amazing." Max praised. "But it must be exhausting."
{Don't worry. Thanks to my training, I can hold it for a pretty long time.} She reassured, more or less focusing on her task.
"For the entire night?"
{I'll hold it as long as the rain goes, but if I must do it all night, I will.}
"Come on Dusk, I-"
{Please master, I really don't want you to get sick again. I heard that if the sicker you get, the worse it can get.}
Again, Max was in front of a dilemma. He didn't want her to tire herself out too much for him, but she was putting all of her heart into it just for him.
{You should let her do it, little pup.} Luna told.
Mysteriously, Luna seemed to have sensed Max's distress of what to do.
"But…"
{Telling her that it might be too hard isn't really encouraging, you know.}
"Maybe, but…"
{Sometimes, you have to let the others do things for you.}
{We constantly say that to him.} Bonny commented.
"I don't want it to look like I'm profiting off of her or something. I don't know, it's just… I don't like seeing others do hard or laborious things for me."
{And why is that?} Luna asked.
"I… don't really know. Maybe because I don't deserve it… or, something."
{I see.} Luna replied, looking at him like if she was scanning him. {Anyway, I don't think it's negotiable.}
{She's right master. Even if you were to say no, I would do it again as soon as you fall asleep.}
"Haha. Violent honesty I see." Max replied, unable to contain a laugh at Dusk's bluntness. "All right. I think I now realize how stubborn you all are. Maybe Aurora influenced all of you."
{Or inspired us.} Bonny corrected, strongly hugging him again.
"Maybe, but what about you Luna? Don't you want to get protected from the rain too?"
{As tempting as it is to get all personal with you, I already have another alternative.}
"Really?"
{The center of a tree is highly protected by the leaves and branches, so I'm almost fully protecting myself over there.}
"Oh. Okay then."
{Don't be sad little pup, surely one day you would be able to feel my soft fur against you.} Luna teased.
"W-what?" Max replied embarrassingly.
{Well, I think you should get some sleep now. The sooner you get your rest, the sooner your braixen will be able to take a break.}
"Are you still sure about this Dusk? You know I could just take some spare clothes or anything to cover myself."
{I'm okay master. It's not as hard as it may look like.}
After struggling again for a moment, Max finally decided that despite his reluctance, he had to let his team do what they think its best.
"… All right, you win, but I want you to wake me up and tell me if it becomes too hard, okay?"
{Sure master.}
"Good. What about you Luna, you said we should go to sleep, so does that mean that you won't?"
{I will indeed not go to sleep yet. I'm the nocturnal type, so I mostly sleep during the day.}
"Make sense for a dark-type werewolf pokemon."
{You can see me as your watcher for the night.}
"Nice. Having a night owl could really be helpful."
{I think so too. Now please little pup, close that cute mouth and eyes of yours and go to sleep.}
"All right all right. Geez, you really sound like a mother." Max jested before laying his head against the tree and close his eyes.
{… Maybe.} Luna mumbled.
Looking at them for a moment, Luna saw Bonny proposing one of her ears as a pillow so he didn't have his head against the bark of the tree. When they were all still and ready to sleep, Luna left her current position to go to the said middle of the tree where almost no raindrops were getting through. Even though she was mostly relying on her nose to be aware of eventual threats, she knew that it was rather ineffective in the rain and had to go with her own eyes. Not that she disliked it, but for her, it was less effective. Also, it means that she would have to get wet from time to time, which was something she didn't like. Before the rain, however, she didn't smell anything threatening in a few miles radius, so she could enjoy some relaxation for a little while. After maybe half an hour later, Max's pokemon were all asleep except Dusk and him since it wasn't a very comfortable position. Then, he heard in the distance some bushes rustling. Looking up, he saw Aurora, soaking wet and almost looking miserable. For a moment, she stayed under the rain while hardly looking at Max with one paw over one shoulder, not looking confident. Without saying anything, Max knew what she wanted and only motioned her to sit to them, under Dusk's protective shield. With a slightly pride broken face, Aurora slowly moved towards them and sat next to Dusk with her back against the tree, closing her eyes a second later. For a short moment, Max and Dusk looked at each other with a smile before Max went back to trying to get some sleep.
A few hours later, the rain was still falling in the darkness of the night with Dusk still holding the barrier. However, tiredness and sleepiness were starting to get into her as she was having more and more trouble focusing. The barrier had gotten thinner and was threatening to break at any time. Dusk was sweating and had a headache since a moment ago that was getting stronger over time. Half an hour later and still in the middle of the night, she was using the last bit of power she had.
{I'm… sorry… master.} She muttered while holding her wand with two paws.
Then, a few seconds later, the last bit of strength left her and let her two paws fall on the ground, breaking the barrier along the way. As she was preparing herself to face Max's wrath, she quickly noticed that not a single drop of water had touched her yet.
{Did the rain… stop?} Dusk wondered while raising her head, panting.
Unfortunately, the rain was still falling rather heavily but was still not touching them. She then noticed another barrier above them that was slightly less transparent than her own barrier.
{Who's… there?}
Weakly looking around, she finally spotted a familiar red and white pokemon's head with a raised hand popping out of a further tree.
{Scar… let?}
[… You did well Dusk, but you should rest now. I'll take it from here.]
[What… is going on Scarlet? Why are you gone?]
[… I don't deserve to be at master's side right now. What I did… is unforgivable.] She replied a bit sadly.
[I'm sure master has already forgiven you.]
[… Maybe. Sorry Dusk, but I'm not ready yet.]
[I'm sure that if-]
[Please Dusk, just forget what you've seen okay?]
[How can I? Master is sad without you.]
[… Sorry Dusk, but you leave me no choice.]
[What are you-]
Instantly, Scarlet vanished to reappear an inch away in front of Dusk to look at her straight in the eyes.
[Please Dusk, continue to keep master safe with the others.]
Immediately after, Scarlet used Hypnosis with her eyes starting to glow in pink before Dusk's did the same, forcing her to fall into a deep slumber. Using her powers, she gently dropped her next to Max.
{… Be safe, all of you.} She mumbled.
Feeling watched, Scarlet then raised her head and saw Luna looking at her from the top of her tree. Suspiciously and almost hatefully, she glared at her a moment before teleporting away. Luna then noticed that the barrier was still there, meaning that she wasn't very far away.
(That gardevoir sure is something,) Luna thought before going back to the rain-safe zone.
Maybe in the middle of the night, the rain had stopped and Luna used that opportunity to make some scouting in the surroundings. When a couple of meters away from Max and Bonny, she got a whiff of a smell that she knew.
{Now that the rain had stopped, I thought that you would leave,} Luna told to no one, in particular, when on the ground and surrounded by trees.
Nearby, Luna, Scarlet floated away from behind a tree before leaning against it in plain sight of Luna with crossed arms.
{I go wherever I want and do whatever I want, understood?} Scarlet blurted.
{Did you only come here to tell me that?} Luna replied, facing her with her paws on her hips.
{More or less. Now that you're on my master's team, I decided that some warning was necessary.}
{Warning?} Luna repeated with a faint grin.
{Precisely. Let's start by saying that I don't like you one bit and I probably never will.}
{… Okay.} Luna retorted, not caring at all.
{But you did save master's life and mine, so that's why I'm letting you in the team if it's master's wish.}
{Very nice of you.}
{However…} she started, glaring menacingly at Luna. {You ever do anything hurtful or just wrong to him, you can be sure that I'll make you join the pile of corpses you know where. I hope I made myself clear.}
{Crystal clear.} Luna responded nonchalantly.
{And you better drop the attitude. You may be a dark type, but it won't prevent me from choking you with your own guts if you try anything,} Scarlet threatened.
{It's not attitude, I'm just not scared at all because you're no threat to me. Why you may ask? Easy. I want the same thing as you; the safety of that human. I'm not scared because you never will have a reason to be mad at me.}
{… Hmpf. We'll see about that. Just keep in mind that I'll be keeping an eye on you.}
{Sure thing,} Luna retorted with a smile.
After angrily growling, Scarlet teleported away, finally leaving Luna alone.
{Yep, she's quite something,} Luna mumbled before resuming her scouting.
