Helping Matters

The next day, the morning went as usual with Max waking up alongside the others and taking a breakfast that scarlet had hunted before wrapping their things.

"Okay girls, next stop will be the noon break for lunch before we continue our travel towards the next town.

{Yes, master, it's the tenth time you have said it.} Said Bonny.

"Yeah, sorry. I guess I'm quite excited but also a bit nervous too for the fight."

{You really grown to like cute creatures beating each other huh?} Commented Scarlet.

"Those cute creatures are also overpowered. And no, I don't especially like it, but you girls do. But… I have to admit seeing my team kicking asses is pretty thrilling."

{Hear that girls, winning is sure to make master happy.}

"Yeah but, also that I also don't mind if you lose after you did your best."

{Yeah yeah master, we know that.} Said Bonny while crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.

"Why don't you go get Aurora instead of doing your tough lopunny."

{Whatever you say, master.} She said before leaving.

{I guess she really wanted to be part of the fighting team.} Said Scarlet when she was out of sight

"I guess me promising her that she will be in the next battle didn't make much of a difference."

{You know her. If she could, she would be in every fight.}

"But she can't. Since only three pokemon can fight at a time, I have to make a selection every time so everyone can have their chance to battle."

{Why is there that stupid rule anyway? Why could you just use all of your six pokemon?}

"Honestly, I don't know. It always has been like this. Maybe it's for making battles shorter since Gym leaders are solicited quite often by trainers. Or maybe it's for forcing the challenger to use strategically his team members. Since they only use one type, it could also be to prevent the challenger to spam the type advantage over him."

{They shouldn't use one type then.}

"Agree. But to be honest, I don't dislike that thematic thing. It makes the gym leader more unique."

{You say it like I would care about a human being original.} Said Scarlet, crossing her arms.

"You speaking against humans is not though."

{As well as you having a small dick.} Defiantly said Scarlet, making the others giggles.

"Why are you always saying that when you know too well that it's not the case?" Said Max, a bit upset.

{Because I know it gets you pretty well. I never understood the human fixation over the size of their reproductive system. I mean, whatever the size, the fun is still there.}

"Said the girl that likes to be torn apart," Lowly said Max.

{What was that?} She defiantly asked.

"I said that for someone that doesn't mind about size, you sure moan a lot when we do it." Said Max, making May and Dusk looking at each other, eager to see where this is going.

{Pfff, I only do it because you like it and it keeps you hard, that's all.} She said while looking away snobbishly.

"Oh yeah, well… you… you and your… hem… I mean like, if it wasn't for your tightness, it wouldn't that much enjoyable." Tried to retort Max.

{… True. It's not like I have an agile tongue or psychic powers to increase your pleasure.}

"… Well… shut up okay." Said Max, unable to argue anymore, making May and Dusk giggle again.

{Just face it master, when it comes to pleasure or mating, you're way under my level.} She said with a grin.

"You think so? Unlike you, I can make you scream with only one finger."

{You know too well that I can do it too with my powers. As for you, it only works if you actually manage to touch my crest.}

"Wanna bet?" He said while looking at her defiantly.

{Don't even think about trying.} Said Scarlet, almost threateningly.

"Watch me."

Close to them, Bonny had retrieved Aurora as they were walking back towards the others.

{So, are you really sure you're up for the fight? I gave up my place so you can fight with master.} Said Bonny to Aurora.

{Whatever you say about your master. However, if someone seeks to fight with me, they will quickly discover what a female can do.}

{Eh, I'm totally with you on this one. Females aren't only there for mating and reproduction, we can also fight. Better than some males even.}

{Exactly.}

"… Would you stop struggling?" They heard, not far from them.

{Then get away from me.}

Upon arriving at the campsite, Bonny and Aurora came across Max and Scarlet fighting each other. When they noticed them, they both stopped with Scarlet holding one of Max's arms while the other one was pushing his head away to prevent his remaining arm from reaching her crest.

{… Do I even have to ask?} Said Bonny Before crossing her arms.

"Ahem…" Said Max before both of them left the other. "Well… enough fooling around. We have a road to take."

{Yeah, since it's the only thing you can take.} Teased Scarlet.

"I wonder if you still say the same when I'll manage to surprise grab your crest."

{You better not miss me, because I won't.}

{When you guys are done with you annoying lovey-dovey, maybe we can finally leave this place.} Impatiently said Aurora.

{We will Aurora, no need to be jealous.} Said Scarlet, a bit haughtily.

{Yeah, sure I am.} Sarcastically said Aurora while rolling her eyes.

"Stop it Scarlet. Time to leave then." Said Max before putting everyone in their pokeball. "… Why do you always feel the need to try to humiliate me in front of the others?" Asked Max after he and Scarlet began walking towards the road.

[Because it's fun?] She simply said.

"Of course, silly me. I should have thought of that."

[Hihi, you know how much I love you master.] She said before hugging his arm.

"I do Scarlet, and I do love you too." He said before petting her head.

A moment later, they were back on the road and ready to resume their walk towards the next town. However, as soon as they were on it, Max saw someone in the distance someone coming up from where they came from.

"Look Scarlet, I think we may have another trainer coming up." He said while pointing the nearing silhouette to Scarlet.

[… Great. Just what we needed.] Said Scarlet, already sick of that other human.

"Please Scarlet, be nice for once."

[Hmpf, I won't attack on sight if it's what you want.]

"Close enough for me." Said Max before waving at the human was getting close, with him waving back.

They then waited a bit that he was close to them.

"… Hi there. I take it that you're a trainer, just like me." Said the person that happens to be a human male.

"Yup. I was on my way to Redfieldtown." Answered Max.

"Really? What a coincidence, me too."

{You're going in the same direction as us, so of course you idiot.} Said Scarlet in a very mean way.

"Scarlet, please."

"Oh, are you perhaps able to understand your pokemon?" Asked the guy.

"Unfortunately, every single word." Said Max before glaring at her.

"You must be very close to her."

"You can say that." Said Max with a discrete grin that only Scarlet saw.

"Me too I can pretty much understand my pokemon, especially Livia, but you two seem to be up a notch."

"Who's Livia?" Asked Max.

"Oh, right. I'm so forgetful about some things. Let me do the presentation then."

With that, the pokemon trainer withdrew a pokeball and let out a sylveon.

"My name is Jack and this is Livia, my faithful and sweet sylveon."

{Hi.} Happily said the pokemon.

"Hi there Livia." Greeted Max. "And hi Jack. My name is Max and this pretty gardevoir is Scarlet." Added Max, making Scarlet blush a bit.

"Wow. Is that a new kind of gardevoir?"

"… More or less. She's just a special kind of shiny."

"Oh. I can't deny that she is indeed pretty."

(Well well Scarlet. Look likes you caught his eye.) Joked Max.

[It sounds really hollow when it's not you that says it.] She said almost angrily.

(Hehe, still the same, taking compliments only from me.)

"Say, it may a bit hasty, would you mind a pokemon battle?" Asked Jack.

"Eh, it's sure is, but why not. But not with Scarlet, however."

"Oh, why?"

"She doesn't like to fight."

"A pokemon that doesn't like to fight? Kind of rare."

"She's more of a traveling companion than a battle one." Half lied Max.

"Oh, I see. Bha, never mind. A battle is a battle, whoever you may choose. So, will a one vs one be good for you?"

"Sure. And I know exactly the one for that."

"Perfect. Let's get ready then."

After Max nodded, both of them went to a part of the road before facing each other with a fair amount of distance between them with Scarlet next to Max. As Livia the sylveon moved in front of Jack to battle, Max took one pokeball and made Aurora appeared.

"A lucario huh?" Said Jack. "A steel type isn't very good for Livia."

"Even without it, she's one hell of a lucario." Tried to praise Max.

{It's just have been a minute since you left and you already take me out?} Said Aurora while looking at Max.

"Yeah, sorry. But we have someone that wants a battle." Said Max while pointing at Jack, making Aurora turn her head to face him and his sylveon.

{'sigh' Whatever.} Said Aurora, half interested.

"I'm ready whenever you are Max." Called Jack.

"Okay." Said Max before both of them activated their Ergowatch for battle protection.

"I'm gonna let you begin." Said Jack.

"Thanks. Alright Aurora, let's being with…"

Not even waiting for orders, Aurora dashed towards the sylveon with Bone Rush. With the pokemon dodging like expected, Aurora chained her attack with more Bone Rush. Unfortunately, Livia was dodging every swing from the lucario.

"Go for Close Combat Aurora." Ordered Max.

Still not listening, she backed up and threw three aura spheres horizontally, thinking that she will dodge them. She indeed dodged them, but not on the side, but over them.

"Damn, you have a pretty fast sylveon there." Said Max to Jack.

"Speed is her main strength. Okay Livia, weaken him a bit."

{Understood.} Said Livia before rushing towards Aurora.

Being way faster than expected, Aurora barely managed to dodge the incoming Charge attack. However, she couldn't do anything against the ribbons of the pokemon that had wrapped around her.

{What… is this?} Angrily said Aurora while trying to break free but to no avail.

Then, a second after she had her wrist tightly wrapped, she felt some of her energy being sucked out before the ribbon let go of her.

"What was that?" Asked Max, wondering what the sylveon just did.

"I used Negative Wave, a move that only a sylveon knows that lowers the attack and the speed of the target." Explained Jack.

"That's no good. Okay Aurora, don't stay too close to her and use Aura Sphere."

After Max's order, Aurora dash once again towards the sylveon with Close Combat, at which she managed to dodge again. Getting rather mad, Aurora chained Bone Rush again multiple times.

"Go for it, Livia." Ordered Jack.

While dodging every hit more easily than before due to her reduced speed, the sylveon used Aurora's momentum against herself and used Sand-Attack between two swings.

{Shit.} Angrily said Aurora after stopping her attack to rub her eyes.

"Now Livia." Said Jack.

"Quick Aurora, move away from there." Ordered Max.

When she was done rubbing her eyes without moving, Aurora's opened them only to see a pinkish ray of energy coming towards her (Moon Blast) and hitting her.

{Ghaa!} Exclaimed a bit painfully the lucario while being sent a few meters away.

"Come on Aurora, get up. I know you can do it."

Even though she wasn't doing it on purpose, Aurora obeyed and indeed got up but hardly.

{How about that then.} Angrily said Aurora before charging an Aura Sphere.

Waiting for the moment that the lucario will throw it, Livia stood there, waiting. But Jack was the one to see the problem. Aurora's Aura Sphere was getting bigger and bigger every second.

"Quick Livia, don't let her do what she wants. Bring her down."

After nodding, Livia dashed towards the lucario, but not directly. She instead went a bit to the side in hopes to get her flank. But then, as the sylveon was getting close, Aurora jump and launched her rather big Aura Sphere. Even though Livia dodged the attack, the shockwave of the impact was enough to send her flying a few meters away from her initial position, damaging her a little.

"Okay Livia, let's regain the energy you lose."

{Roger.} Said the sylveon while standing up.

"Aurora, now…"

Still not listening, Aurora rushed towards Livia and prepared a Force Palm, but the sylveon moved away before the lucario was even in reach. Thinking she was fleeing, Aurora chased after her but was quickly cut short in her pursuit when Livia went for multiples Sand-Attack. Since she was out of reach, the move wasn't affecting Aurora but was covering her sight, making her unable to see the sylveon.

{If you think I'll fall for a trick like that.} Said Aurora before quickly backing up.

Unfortunately, the lucario was still taken by surprise by a warm but hurtful wind with white sparkles (Fairy Wind) that was merging with the Sand-Attack, both damaging and reducing the lucario's sight.

{Damnit.} She angrily said while covering her face.

Even before the move was done and with Aurora still hiding her face, Aurora felt an incredible hot feeling passing through her chest before feeling her energy being stolen away (Draining Kiss). When the sand was falling, Max could see that Aurora was on one knee, looking tired.

"Aurora, please. Stop doing whatever you want by blindly rushing towards the enemy." Said Max to Aurora.

{I don't need your help to fight.} Angrily said Aurora while hardly standing up.

"You sure have a pretty stubborn pokemon there buddy. But I'm afraid we will have to end this. Livia, finish her off."

After nodding again, Livia began to shake herself like a wet dog trying to dry itself after going in the water. A few seconds later, energy particles that were looking a bit like tiny butterflies began to emerge from the fairy-type pokemon. After a couple of dozens of them were on the battlefield, they began to moderately slowly move towards Aurora.

{The hell is this?} Said Aurora while backing up.

Getting closer and closer, the lucario didn't like the look of that one bit and started to use Bone Rush to destroy them. Being quite small, Aurora was missing them a few times before hitting one, making it disappear. Unfortunately, there were too many of them as some began to hit her with a very tiny white and pink explosion. Being hit one after one, Aurora was starting to get heavily damaged until the few remaining all exploded at the same time, making Aurora fall on the ground, unable to fight anymore.

"Aurora!" Said Max while rushing towards her after taking down the protective dome. " Are you okay?" He said before grabbing and making her sit.

{Of course, I am, I just lost a battle because of you.} She angrily said.

"Because of me? You're the one that didn't listen to me."

{If you could shut up for a second, maybe I could have focused on the battle and win.} She angrily said while pushing him before hardly standing.

"Well, looks like I win, but I'm not really proud of that victory." Said Jack after moving close to them with his sylveon.

{You shouldn't indeed since it was a pretty cheap victory.} Said Aurora to Jack.

{Hey, don't talk about my master because you can't listen to yours.} Said Livia, defending Jack and upset.

{Why should I? He knows nothing about battling.} Angrily Said Aurora.

"Excuse me?" Said Max, now the one that was getting angry.

"Whoa, everyone calm down please." Said Jack before putting a hand on Livia's back, sensing the animosity between the three of them.

{He's right master. You know how she is.} Said Scarlet, now behind Max with one of her hands on his shoulder while glaring at Aurora.

"'Sigh' yeah." Said Max calming down.

"Well, it may not be my business, but you two don't seem to get along very well." Commented Jack while petting Livia's back.

{Damn right it's not.} Angrily said Aurora.

{Hey!} Protested Livia.

"Okay Aurora, back to your pokeball, now." Said Max before putting her back in her pokeball.

"She also seems to dislike losing a lot." Said Jack.

"She does. Let's say that she have quite the personality."

"I can see that. Even at the very start of the battle, I noticed that you weren't very close together."

"True."

"And don't know what she said, but I'm sure she didn't like what I said earlier."

"You will have to excuse her. My Aurora has difficulties trusting humans and males. The only thing I can say is that life went pretty hard on her."

"Like many of us. But I can understand, don't worry." Said Jack while petting her sylveon again while looking at her.

Then, as the pokemon wrapped her ribbons around his arm, Jack got an idea.

"Say, would you mind if Livia and I help you?"

"Say what now?"

"You know, I really like pokemon and the relationship they have with their trainer. But seeing you and your lucario like this made me feel bad for you. Livia here is pretty much an expert when to comes to feeling and soothing."

{I'm the expert when it comes to feeling.} Commented Scarlet.

{Maybe, but I'm the expert when it comes to soothing them.} Said Livia, almost arrogantly.

{Is that so?} Said Scarlet, looking suspiciously at the sylveon.

As the sylveon looked into Scarlet's eyes, she immediately didn't like them and stopped herself from arguing with her.

"I don't know, I'm starting to wonder if she will one day give me a chance."

{Master?} Said Livia to Jack.

"Hmm?" He said, looking at her.

{I sensed that it may be more of an emotional problem than anything else. I'm sure that a little feeling soothing will greatly help.} Said Livia to him.

"… Okay. Livia said that…"

"That it was an emotional problem and that she indeed can help with that?"

"… Wait… you literally can talk to pokemon?" Asked Jack, a bit dumbfounded.

"Yeeeahh, pretty much, thanks to this lovely creature." Said Max while pointing at Scarlet.

"Whoa, now that's something cool. I roughly understand my pokemon sayings, but you can literally understand every word." Said Jack, quite impressed.

"I won't deny that it's something really useful."

"I bet it is. But as for the help, do you mind if we do?"

"Well… if you really know what you're doing…"

"As I said, Livia is good with the feelings of living beings. I also noticed that your lucario seems a bit unusually aggressive, so maybe Livia's ribbons can help you and her get a bit closer."

"… Alright, if you think that it will work."

"It sure can't do badly."

"True. But can this wait a bit? I kind of want to get to Redfieldtown as soon as possible."

"Sure thing. We can do it when we arrived there."

"Cool."

"Livia, time to get to your pokeball." Said Jack while getting his pokeball.

{Hemm master? Mind if I stay outside?} Asked Livia.

"You want to stay outside? Of course Livia. It's kind of rare, however." He said before petting her.

{Y-yeah, but I like it from time to time.} She said while occasionally avoiding his gaze.

{… Uh-huh.} Lowly said Scarlet with a small grin.

"What is it?" Asked Max.

{Nothing master, just girly things.}

"Keep them for you then." Jokingly said, Max.

{Will do, don't worry.}

"Well, let's get moving then. Mind if we accompany you?" Asked Jack.

"Not really, since we're going to the same place."

"Great." Said Jack before both of them began to walk again towards the next town.

"… So, what are you gonna do at Redfieldtown? A gym battle as well?" Asked Max after a moment.

"Nah, I already beat him I got the badge. But it happens that my grandmother lives there and since she's getting quite old, I do some errands for her once in a while."

"Oh, nice of you."

[Hmpf, when you're too old to care for yourself, it's probably the time for you to go.] Commented Scarlet, making Max roll his eyes.

"How is the gym leader? Is he hard?"

"Not that much, if you managed to avoid her quite annoying tricks."

"That's what I thought. I have two steel types in my team plus a fire type and they have gotten a bit cocky since they had the type advantage, but I told them not to underestimate the opponent."

"You're right. Even if your steel type shouldn't have much trouble, your fire type, however, should be careful."

"Mind giving some advice?"

"Where will the fun be if I tell you how to beat the gym leader?"

"… True I guess." Said Max, slightly disappointed.

"But what I can tell is that don't get too hasty and reckless against her, that's all. She beat me two times before I could defeat her."

"So it's a girl gym leader."

"Yep. A nice old lady that knows how to fight."

"Okay. Thanks."

"No problem."

For the rest of the morning, they walked while doing some chit-chat until noon arrived as Max told Jack that they have to stop for lunch.

"Maybe I should present you to the rest of my team." Said Jack before taking out three other pokeball.

After they opened, three pokemon appeared from them, a smeargle, a seismitoad, and a heliolisk.

"Okay guys, this is Max." Presented Jack.

{Hi there.} Said the smeargle and the seismitoad, with the heliolisk not responding.

"Excuse my heliolisk. He doesn't like strangers a lot.

"No problem, I know someone just like that."

[You should feel privilege that I love you and no one else.] Said Scarlet, slightly upset.

"I do, don't worry. Let me present you mine too then." Said Max before letting out his team. "Girls, this is Jack, Jack this Dusk, May, Bonny and you already know Aurora." Said Max while pointing at them respectively.

{Hi.} Saluted his team, except Aurora with Dusk hiding behind Max due to her shyness.

"Nice team you have there. But you said girls, does that mean that they're all female?" Asked Jack.

"Pretty much. Chance has decided that I only got females. What about you?"

"Only Livia is a girl. Let's just say it's a bit hard for her when you're a female in a mostly male composed team." Said Jack before petting Livia.

"Must be."

{Master?} Lowly asked Bonny to Max.

"Yes, my pretty?"

{Can you tell to your new friend to tell his pokemon to stop staring at me?}

"Which… oh, okay." He said before catching the smeargle staring at her with interested eyes before looking away.

"Something wrong?" Asked Jack.

"Not really, but looks like your smeargle seems to have a crush on my lopunny, and it kinds of making her uncomfortable."

"Really? Smeargle…" Said Jack before looking at the pokemon.

{Sorry master.} Said the pokemon before looking away shyly.

"Sorry about that. Like I said, Livia is the only female in the team so, constantly having a girl around kind of makes them a bit on edge sometimes."

"Oh, well… she doesn't… you know."

"Not really. It's kind of odd though because she doesn't seem interested in any of them. I know that pokemon prefer mostly going with their own species but still… she always pushes them off."

"Oh, that's a shame."

At that, both he and Scarlet noticed the sylveon blushed and looked away.

"So, how do they relieve themselves?" Asked Max.

"With other wild pokemon that they meet from time to time when we stop for the night."

"Pretty neat."

"But unfortunately, my smeargle didn't get so lucky lately, so he tends to feel desire for every female he sees."

{Well, he's gonna have to hold it for himself because none of us are interested.} Said Scarlet quite coldly, making the pokemon quite sad.

"Please Scarlet, you don't need to be mean."

"What did she said?" Said Jack, noticed his smeargle being down.

"She said that it wasn't his lucky day because… well… none of my team members need relief." Half lied Max.

"Oh, I see. I'm guessing you're doing the same as me."

"Y-yeah." Lied Max.

"It's a bit odd since they have an opportunity right now and my smeargle is really sweet, but if they're not interested, then there's nothing we can do about it. Sorry, buddy." Said Jack while petting his smeargle.

{Doesn't matter.} He said a bit sadly.

"Sorry."

"Don't worry man, I'm sure you're not the kind to force your pokemon to do something they don't want to, like me."

"Yeah, they will just break us into pieces if we do."

"Hehe, true."

{Alright master, I'm off getting us food.} Said Scarlet.

"Okay."

{Do you want to come with me Dusk?} Said Scarlet, half-joking.

{Hemm… n-no thanks. I'll just… do as usual.} Shyly answered Dusk.

{Hehe, no problem.} Said Scarlet before going into the woods.

"Where is she going?" Asked Jack.

"Getting us dinner."

"… Your pokemon… gather food for you?"

"Yeah. Scarlet hunts for it while Dusk cooks it for us."

At the word hunt, most of Jack's team made a pretty surprised face.

"… That's… a pretty high level of complicity. I already saw trainer being close to his pokemon, but you seem a bit over that." Said Jack, quite impressed.

"Yeah. Without the language barrier, you can do a lot of things."

"I guess." Said Jack, sounding slightly off.

"What about you then?"

"Oh, well I got my lunch so, I should be okay."

"No, I mean doesn't your team help you with food or things like that?"

"Not really. In most cases, it's the trainer that should take care of his team, not the opposite."

"If you knew how resourceful a pokemon can be, maybe you would change your mind."

"Not a chance, my team is too lazy for that." Said Jack after chuckling.

{I'm not.} Protested Livia.

"Hehe, I know you're not Livia. You're just too sweet to hurt anything."

As Jack was petting his slyveon, Max went off-road to lay against a tree, immediately followed by his team with Dusk and Bonny sitting next to him, May between his legs, and Aurora a couple of trees away from them.

"Wow, your team sure is very affectionate towards you." Said Jack after doing the same but to the next tree with the sylveon lying an inch away from him.

"Yeah, they really are the sweetest of all." Said Max while petting May to her favorite spot.

"He, sometimes I wish that I was that close of my team."

{Sorry master, but I'm not really into males.} Said Jack's seismitoad, sitting to a tree close to him, making Max's team laugh a bit.

"Yeah, I know you wouldn't like it, buddy." Said Jack to his pokemon, partially understanding what he said.

"Ever thought about getting a psychic so it could help you understanding your team?"

"I did, but since psychic isn't really my thing…"

"Why?"

"Don't get me wrong, your gardevoir looks lovely, but… I don't know, they kind of giving me the creeps sometimes. I'm not really comfortable with the idea of having someone able to dig in my head anytime to find my deepest secret or something."

"Eh, I feel you dude. I thought a bit like that at first too, but you eventually get used to it, especially when you have total trust in your pokemon. I know that Scarlet would never use that ability against me."

"I suppose. But you're quite special on that level. I mean, I never saw that closeness between a trainer and their pokemon. One, I could understand, but all of them. It's like you have…"

"A strong animal magnetism?" Finished Max.

"Pretty much."

"Yeah, that's what they also all say."

"You sure shouldn't get bored with them."

"Eh, not really. It's even worse when you can understand them insulting you."

{I don't do that.} Protested May.

{Me neither.} Added Bonny.

"You Bonny? Ah, you're the second worse after Scarlet."

{I don't know what you're talking about.} She said with a fake innocent tone.

"… Is that a mega stone she has on her scarf?" Asked Jack when he noticed it.

"Yeah, I bought it here in the previous city."

"Really? You must not lack money if you did. Mega stones are rather expensive."

"I had money, but I spent most of it on it."

"You spent almost all your money for her mega stone? Eh, no wonder why they like you so much."

"Nothing is too good for them." Said Max, petting Bonny's head.

"Agree. Me too I could do anything for my team." Said Jack while petting her sylveon.

However, instead of appreciating it, she seems to even turn her head away.

"Something wrong Livia?" Asked Jack, concerned about her strange behavior.

{I'm fine.} She softly but coldly said.

"You can tell me, Livia."

{It's not like you could understand me anyway.}

Not wanting to press it further, Jack stopped harassing her with questions.

{… I'm sorry. I think I just need a little walk.} Said Livia before standing up and leaving in the woods as well.

"Be careful Livia, please." Said Jack before she disappeared.

"Is there some tension between you two?" Asked Max.

"Not really. It's just… me and her, well, mostly her, don't have it easy."

"What do you mean?"

"It's… a bit embarrassing to say." Shyly said, Jack.

"Don't worry Jack, I may be a trainer for not very long, but not a lot can impress me. Feel free to say whatever you want to me."

"… Alright. But first, I want to ask if you knew that sylveons are rather rare."

"Not really. Nor that I really heard of them."

"Exactly. They are rare because not a lot of trainers have or want them."

"… Why?" Asked Max, perplexed.

"Since you don't know a lot about them, I'm guessing that you don't know how they evolve as well, am I right?"

"Unfortunately, yes you are."

"Thought so. An eevee can have multiple evolutions with various circumstances, like their personality or when and where you train them. While some of them happen when you're pretty close to your pokemon as a friend, there is one evolution that can happen through a very specific way."

"I'm guessing it's the sylveon."

"Exactly. You see, an eevee can evolve into espeon or umbreon through friendship, but to have an eevee evolving into a sylveon, it must be with… affection."

"You mean like…"

"Yeah, the feeling that is stronger than mere friendship."

"Oh, okay." Said Max, half getting what he meant.

"When your eevee evolves into a sylveon, it's because it feels a deep affection towards the owner, which can be interpreted… rather wrongly."

"Wrongly? How?"

"Affection is not just being friendly, it's literally about love."

"Oh." Said Max, now understand Jack's situation.

"People don't want them because if you have one, you're almost sure they qualify as a pokephiliac, which I'm not."

"I see. Must be hard indeed."

"For me, not that much, but it's getting quite a bit under Livia's skin. Every time I send her out of her pokeball, most people look at us with a weirded-out expression, even a disgusted one sometimes. Some don't give a second thought about it, but they are kind of rare. I'm guessing that they are just like you and don't know a lot about sylveon's evolution."

"Or are simply okay with that."

"Perhaps, but that's very unlikely. However, Livia probably thinks that it affects me a lot. Some people even refused battle because they are sure that I do things with my Livia. I was quite surprised to see you not reacting to that. But I guess it's just because you didn't know about it."

"… Pretty much." Half lied Max, not wanting to say more than necessary. "But… what do you think about that pokephilia thing? I mean, why do you care so much about people thinking that?"

"Because I'm not a pokephiliac. I don't judge peoples that are as they can do whatever they want, but for me, it feels… wrong."

"I suppose it takes various kinds of people to make a world." Said Max before petting Dusk.

"I guess." Said Jack, looking at Max that had Bonny pressing her head against him, also wanting to be petted. "But… what do you think about pokephilia yourself?" He asked.

"Well… I'm kind of like you and think that they should do whatever they want. As far as I know and if the concerned pokemon consents, no one is hurt and it just makes everyone happy."

"… I see."

Max didn't know if he dreamt or if it was true, but he could have sworn that he heard a bit of suspicion in his voice. Not wanting to know that he was, he just kept it cool and tried to act normal for the rest of the conversation. A bit further in the woods, Livia was still walking with a rather morose expression when she came across Scarlet.

{Oh, hi Livia. What brings you here?} Asked Scarlet when she spotted her.

{Nothing, just… taking a walk, that's all.}

{I see.}

{What about you? Weren't you supposed to gather food for your master?}

{Working on it. I just didn't find anything potable yet.}

{Okay. Well, good luck with that then.} Said the sylveon, a bit sadly before wanting to continue her walk.

{I see that your sexual tension is getting rather painful huh?}

{W-what? What are you talking about?} Said Livia, turning around with a slight blush.

{Don't deny it, we all can clearly see that you have a thing for your master.}

{N-no I don't.} She said, looking away a bit angrily.

{What's the problem? He doesn't want to?} Said Scarlet, crossing her arms.

Livia then looked at Scarlet a moment. She wanted to protest again but knew that she had already been figured out anyway.

{… No, he doesn't.} Said Livia before sitting, looking rather sad.

{I'm guessing he's not into pokemon.}

{Not at all. At first, I thought he was just too blind to see my advances, but when I heard him talking about that pokephilia thing and how he found it weird and wrong, that kinda crushed me.} She said with her ears perked down.

{Well… if it can help you, I can alter his mind so he thinks otherwise.}

{No. I love him the way he is. I just… have to accept that I could never… mate with him.}

{I see. You seem in front of a pretty impassable problem.} Said Scarlet before sitting next to her.

Scarlet then went a bit thoughtful for a moment.

{Have you ever tried to do it with a pokemon?}

{Not really. I love my master and don't want to do it with anyone else than him.}

{But we already established that it will be impossible without mind-controlling him.}

{… I know.}

{… With another human then.}

{No, and for the same reason. Anyway, good luck on finding a human that is willing to do it with a pokemon. Everyone we meet so far was grossed out by that.}

{And what if I tell you that I know someone that is a pokephiliac?}

{W-what? You mean…} Asked Livia, a bit surprised.

{Yes, my master.}

{… Your… master is…}

{Yup.}

{And he does it with…}

{Me and the others.}

Livia then thought for a moment with a slightly shocked face.

{I don't know… he seems nice but… he's not Jack.} She said a bit shyly.

{Why not? I'm guessing that if you don't want to go with pokemon, it's because you're into humans because of your master right?}

{I… don't know… maybe.} Said Livia, not sure about the answer herself.

{Well, I know it's not your master, but it could help you to relieve some tension. But don't get me wrong though, I'm only offering this to you because master had some thought about you. If it wasn't the case, you would have been on your own.} Said Scarlet to the thinking pokemon.

{He… does?} Said Livia, surprised again.

{Yeah, my master is quite the beast when it comes to mating. That's why I only allow pokemon to have fun with him if he firstly wants to himself.}

{I… understand.}

{In any case, it's your only alternative. Either you experience what it is to do it with a human with my master, or you say no and keep being sad from not being able to mate, with a human.}

{… I don't know… it would be like I am betraying my master.}

{Suit yourself. I'm offering my help, but if you don't want to, that's fine.} Said Scarlet before getting up. {I'm sorry for bothering you then.}

As Scarlet was getting away, Livia stopped her.

{Wait.} Said the sylveon, stopping Scarlet in her track.

{Yes?}

{Can I… at least try to know him a bit better?} Complied the Sylveon.

{Sure thing. Just stay here while I'm getting him. Don't worry, my master is very sweet and gentle when he wants to be.} She said before leaving her.

Traveling back towards Max, Scarlet reached him and the other human after a couple of minutes.

"Whoa, you seismitoad sure isn't afraid of anything." Said Max.

"Yeah, that day, he really made me proud." Said Jack before giving his water/ground pokemon a weak punch on his shoulder.

{No one makes fun of my master and gets away with it.} Said the pokemon before they laugh.

{Master?} Said Scarlet when they were on sight.

"Oh, hi Scarlet. What do you get today?"

{Two things actually and I was wondering if you could come and choose.}

"Really? Can't you choose for me?"

{Come on master, I don't know your taste.}

"Actually, you…"

{You either come willingly or I force you.} Said Scarlet, getting impatient.

"Okay, fine." Said Max before carefully getting away from his team.

{This way.} Said Scarlet before turning back and heading towards the woods.

"Alright. Hey Jack, mind keeping an eye on my companions?" Asked Max before following Scarlet.

"No problem. They risk nothing with us."

"I know, I just want to have someone to prevent them from doing foolish things."

"Hehe, sure man."

"Thanks."

After that, Max followed Scarlet through the forest. After a moment, Max wanted to break the silence.

"So, what animals did you get?"

[Actually, none.]

"What? But you said…"

[I lied, master.]

"… Why?" Said Max before Scarlet stopped.

[Because Livia wanted to talk to you and I didn't want his master having suspicion.]

"About what?"

[You will see soon enough. She's that way.] She said before pointing in front of her.

"… Okay." Said Max, not following.

[Now master, be nice and understanding okay?]

"For what?"

After simply giving a smile, Scarlet began to float away, leaving Max alone.

"Tsk, always something in the head with that one. I really wish some time that I was a psychic too." Said Max before starting to walk forwards.

Walking for a few minutes, Max finally saw the sylveon that was sitting next to a tree.

"Hi Livia, you wanted to see me?" Said Max when close to her.

{Oh… well… n-not really.} She said, heavily blushing while looking away.

"Really? Scarlet just told me otherwise."

{Aha… well… m-maybe then.} She said after a nervous laugh.

"Something wrong?"

{N-not really.} She said, still looking away.

"Oh, okay. Mind if I sit?"

{O-of course not.}

"Thanks." He said, sitting next to her.

For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

"So… what are you doing here?"

{You mean here, alone and in the middle of the forest?}

"… Yeah, that." Said Max, a bit awkwardly.

{Nothing special. It's just that, sometimes I like to be alone.}

"Is that so? Maybe I should leave then."

{No, it's okay.}

"… Alright, but don't hesitate to tell if you really want that space of yours."

{W-will do, thanks.}

"Mind me asking why you want to be alone? You and your trainer seem… very close."

{… You… figured out too, haven't you?} Said the sylveon, seeing no point at trying to deny it now.

"It wasn't easy to see, but since I'm…" Said Max, not knowing if he should say it or not.

{Into pokemon?} Finished Livia.

"… Scarlet told you?"

{Yeah. We talk a bit about… some problems of mine and she told me.}

"She's right. I'm what other humans called pokephiliac. That's how I managed to notice it."

{So much for trying to hide it. Looks like I'll have to be more careful next time.}

"Maybe not alone with him, but around others, maybe. Jack told me about you and him and how people assume that he's pokephiliac."

{It's my fault. I evolved into a sylveon because I loved him so much, but now he's the one that pays the price.} She said, sadly and with a hint of guilt.

"He sure looks not very pleased with how peoples see you, but to me, he didn't seem to regret at all having you."

{Still. He said that people think that if a trainer has a sylveon, they immediately assume that they're a pokephiliac and that their sylveon wants to mate with the trainer.}

"Kind of stupid if you ask me."

{… Not… that much actually, since that I indeed… want to mate with him.}

"… Maybe those rumors have true foundations then."

{But I'm the one that wants to mate, not him. he shouldn't be the one that suffers from this.}

"Pretty sure he doesn't since he has you."

{How can you be so sure?}

"That's how a trainer loves their pokemon. Like me, I'm sure he'll do anything for his."

{… Still…}

"But wait, if you want to mate and your master isn't into pokephilia, does that mean that…"

{That's what I and your gardevoir talked about. The only one I want would never touch me as I would like, so yeah, I'm kind of trapped in a mateless life.} She sadly said.

"… I… I'm very sorry to hear that. But… you never thought…"

{No, I didn't think about doing with a male pokemon, since what I want is a human.}

Upon saying that, Livia used her ribbons to shut her mouth up in shame.

"Only a human?"

{I-I mean, only my master, which happens to be a human.} She quickly corrected.

"… Well… if he doesn't want to, you're kind of…"

{Hopeless?}

"… That wouldn't be the word I would have used but…"

{No, it's a perfect word. Can't even mate with the one I love.} She sadly said while looking at the ground.

"… Again… I'm very sorry for you." He said before petting her back, close to her rear but not on purpose.

It wasn't the first time Livia was being petted, but the way that human was doing it… It was different from how her master was touching her and, it was making her a bit uncomfortable, but oddly, slightly aroused.

"I wish I could do something to help you."

{… Actually, that's also what Scarlet and I talked about.} She said, facing the human again.

"About what?"

{… About you being able to help me.}

"Hmmm… okay, how?" Asked Max, puzzled.

{… Eh, you're almost as clueless as my master.} Said Livia, nervously laughing.

"Why? Wait… you don't mean…"

{It was your gardevoir's idea, but… she kind of has a point.}

"Livia… I don't know. It's kind of wrong doing it with someone else pokemon."

{That's also what I thought, but since my love for my master made me into humans and that I can't even mate with him, the only option that is left is… to do it with another human.}

"I… guess… but we barely know each other and… you love your master."

{Yes I do, with all of my being… but that unsatisfied desire is killing me. Lately, I was barely able to handle myself due to me being too on edge.}

"Yeah but…"

{Has one of your team members ever told you that pokemon are pretty open-minded when it comes to mating?}

"Countless times." Said Max, rolling his eyes.

{Then you know it doesn't take a lot for us to be interested. I do love my master and I didn't agree at first when Scarlet proposed that to me, but you're a pretty nice and kind human. You're also pretty cute and… I don't know why but… I really like your scent.} Shyly said Livia.

"Really now? You're like the tenth one to tell me that."

{Oh, well I guess it doesn't have much effect when I say it then.} She said, a bit embarrassed.

"Don't worry, it's pleasant every time. I'm just less surprised that when a pokemon say it to me now."

{Hehe, I suppose.} She nervously laughed.

"… So… in short… you want us to…"

{O-only if it's okay that is.} Quickly said Livia, embarrassed.

For a moment, Max was rather thoughtful, not knowing if they should do it or not.

"I still don't know Livia, you sure are a very cute pokemon but…"

{If you don't want to, that's fine.} She said, a bit down.

"It's not that I don't want to. In fact, I have to say that your rather feminine and slender body is quite… appealing."

{You… mean it?} Said Livia with almost shocked eyes.

"Absolutely."

{Eh, your gardevoir was right, you are pretty sweet and a lot into pokemon.}

"Yeah, but don't tell anybody."

{O-of course.} She said while her lower half began to twitch a bit.

"You okay?" Asked Max when he noticed that.

{Yeah, it's just my desire that coming up again. I think being near you while you say those nice things… I guess it's making me less guilty for what I want to do.}

"You sure your master won't mind?"

{Don't have to tell.}

"Not sure if I approve of lying to a good guy."

{And you think I do? He's my master, remember?}

"… Good point."

{But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. I mean, since he doesn't want to mate with me and I don't want a pokemon, it will only do everyone a favor.}

"Fair enough, but what about later?"

{Later?}

"I mean, I won't be around you forever. What will you do when I'll be gone?"

Sylveon then went thoughtful, not that seeing that through.

{I… suppose I'll have to wait for another kind and nice human that is willing to mate with me.}

"That… could take a very long time."

{I know, but if I do it with you, even one time, it will be enough for me to subsist for a while.}

"You sure?"

{Well… because of my master, it has become a pretty huge fantasy for me to mate with a human. Realizing a fantasy isn't nothing.}

"Hehe, true." Nervously laughed Max.

{… So… do you… want to?} Asked Livia, slightly getting impatient.

Max then took a deep breath, worrying the sylveon a bit.

"Well… you're quite in the muddy situation and it would be kind of cheap of me to let a nice girl in trouble so…"

{Thank you very much mister human.} Said the sylveon before nuzzling him.

"Please, call me Max. I think we're friends enough for that. Or at least, we are about to."

{Hehe, you're a pretty funny human Max.} She after laughing a bit.

"You think so?"

{Yes. The more I talk to you, the less bad I feel about this.} She said, nuzzling some more.

"Eh, good thing I suppose."

After nuzzling a bit more, Livia stood up and went in front of Max, reducing the distance between them.

{I… maybe not good at this since, well, I never did it with a human, but here's what I know humans do.}

Closing her eyes, she moved closer to Max's and pressed her lips against his, gently kissing him. Still slightly not reassure about the whole situation, it took a moment for Max to the return it, but eventually, he succumbed to the temptation. While doing so, Max put his hands on the sylveon cheeks before the pokemon wrapped her ribbon-like feelers around his forearm. After doing it, Max then was submerged by a rather intense lust feeling. After the pokemon break the kiss, she looked into the human's eyes, seeing the intense desire in them.

{I see you had a taste of a fraction of my desire.} She said, a bit lustfully.

"A fraction? Your desire is that intense?"

{You have no idea.} She said, slightly lewdly.

"Whoa, I think me too I feel less guilty about it because I don't think it's healthy having such stacked-up desire."

{Yeah, it was quite getting on my nerves. But everything is about to change now.}

"Indeed. I can't just let a cute pokemon like you suffering like this."

{S-stop saying things like that. You're making me wetter than necessary.} She said, blushing.

"Really? Mind if I… take a look?"

{… You… want to… look?} She asked, a bit confused.

"Why not?"

{I… h-human sure do have odd ways to do it, but o-okay.} She shyly said.

A bit shyly and reluctantly, the sylveon turned around and showed her rear to him, revealing a drooling and white-furred small entrance.

{W-why do you want to look?} Asked Livia, heavily embarrassed but curious.

"For this." Said Max before pressing his finger over her sensitive button and gently began to rub it.

{SSaahh! What… is that… feeling?} Moaned the pokemon, already having her legs shaking.

"It's called foreplay."

{F-fore… p-play?} Hardly said Livia due to the increasing pleasure.

"Yup. It's a thing that humans, and maybe pokemon too, do to pleasure the other one. Unless you don't like it."

{N-no… I don't… dislike it. It's very… ah… it's very… o-oh no, I'm… feeling it.}

Not even having the time to ask, the entire body of the sylveon went stiff as she let out a pretty loud and ecstatic moan before falling on her chest while her rear was still up, lightly squirting. When her intense pleasure was done, she let the rest of her body fall on the ground.

"That was… quite fast."

{S-sorry, but that felt… really good. Foreplay… is very… pleasant.} Said Livia, feeling a bit light-headed.

"And yet, it's not over."

{There's… more?} Asked the sylveon before turning her head towards him.

"Of course, we haven't 'mated' yet."

{T-true.}

"Unless it was enough for you."

{I… think I can continue.}

"That's what I thought. After all, you have quite some time of stacked-up needs that still need to be satisfied.

{I… don't want to ask you too much.}

"Eh, if you knew how many times my team has used me. I'm almost feeling like an object to them."

{… That's…}

"But it's just a feeling. I know that they love me as much as I love them and that we respect each other. But I have to admit that I don't dislike the thought of me being their sex plaything." Said Max, a bit embarrassed.

{… Hehe, if only my master had a fraction of your lewdness.} Said Livia, laughing a bit.

"Everyone is different."

{Yeah, it's just a bit bad that I didn't get the best straw on that matter.} Said a bit sadly the sylveon.

"I'm sure he's fine with everything else." Cheered Max.

{That's the thing, he does.}

After that, Max didn't really know what to say anymore.

{But for now, I guess I'll have to think about something else for a moment.} Said Livia before turning around. {I'm not… really proud about what we're about to do, but I suppose… some sacrifice is necessary sometimes.}

"Again, I'm really sorry for you, so I'll try to make the best of it."

{That would be the only selfish request I'll make.}

"I'll try my best."

{Thanks, Max.}

With that, Livia moved closer to the human and put her front paws on his chest before pressing her lips against his and began to kiss him. Max could feel that the kiss was only about lust and almost empty of love. The little he felt was probably that she liked him, even a little. However, he returned the kiss and tried to be passionate as much as possible so she could enjoy it. Then, after a few seconds of kissing, Livia was slowly putting more heart on the kissing. A moment later, she broke the kiss.

{I didn't know… a human could kiss that well.} Commented Livia with a small blush.

"Not wanting to brag, but having four pokemon that always on you almost force you to be good at this. I did it a lot of times."

{Oh. I suppose I don't have to worry about pleasure with an experimented human then.} Said Livia a bit lustfully.

"Wow, didn't that behind that nice and cute face was a rather perverted pokemon."

{A few years of unsatisfied desires could do this to the shyest being. I don't know why, but even though I don't feel anything special towards you like I do with my master, my heart is racing and I can feel myself getting hotter. Kind of like when I started to have those desires towards my master.}

"I-is that so?" Said Max, a bit nervously.

{Yes. You may not be my master, but… I'm kind of glad that you will be my first human.}

"I'm… I don't know if you should feel flattered or like a jerk."

{How about you feel excited for now?} She lustfully said.

"G-good point, but don't get ahead of yourself."

{Sorry. It's my desire that is speaking.} She said, a bit embarrassedly.

"No hard feeling." Said Max before petting her head.

{How about we continue before they got out of control then?}

"Work for me." Said Max before Livia resumed her kissing with him.

As they were kissing, Max's hands instinctively begin to move across her slender body, starting from her sides and slowly going towards her rear. When his hands were on her butt cheeks, she let out a small gasp in the human's mouth. Having her mind slowly getting clouded by desire, she unconsciously put one paw on the human's crotch, feeling his hard member.

{… You're… already like this?} A bit shyly said Livia after breaking the kiss.

"Hard not to be, when a nice and pretty girl like you is being quite lewd." Said Max with a grin.

{I… already told you that it was my desire that was speaking… n-not me.}

"Really? You're telling me that you're not enjoying it? At all?"

{… Well… maybe a bit.} She said, looking away.

"You don't have to be ashamed Livia, it's only natural to feel that way when excited."

{I… guess so. Anyway… I can feel that you're also enjoying it.} Said Livia, rubbing his shaft a bit.

"I do."

{Eh, I now have the proof that pokemon do turn you on.}

"Y-yeah, but let's keep that between us."

{Hehe, I already got that, no need to say it again. Thanks for saying that I'm cute by the way.}

"Well you are, and since I don't like lying…"

{Okay, I got it mister pervert human.} Playfully said Livia. {I have to admit that I have grown a bit impatient to see what you hide under that.} She said, still pressing her rubbing her paws on his crotch.

"You're getting quite into it."

{Well, now that we are both in it, might as well enjoy it as much as we can. Crying over that will only make the moment bad, and since you will probably be the only human I will have for a long time, I'm not gonna waste that moment.}

"Eh, an odd place for determination, but at least you have a strong one."

{Thanks, but what I would really appreciate is that you help me with that.} Said the sylveon while trying to unzip his pants.

"S-sure thing." Said Max, a bit shyly.

Moving away her paw, the sylveon then a bit eagerly watched the human pulling down his pants.

{… It's… a bit different from his. It doesn't have the same form and size.} She said while eyeing Max's erected member.

"You already saw one?"

{Yes, my master's one, but only a few glimpses every time. But yours is the only one that I can see up close and more than a few seconds.}

"I bet he didn't have a second thought about it."

{Probably not. Can I… touch it?}

"O-of course."

{Thanks.} She said before slowly approaching a paw towards it.

A few seconds later, she pressed her paw against it.

{It's… quite warm and soft to the touch.}

"That's… how it is."

{It's pretty pleasant to the touch. But also…}

Suddenly, after rubbing it a few times, she leaned her head towards it.

{The smell… is very pleasant well. It's like… it tells me to…}

Without any warning, Livia stuck out her tongue and gave the flesh stick a long and warm lick from the base to the top.

"Whoa…" Slightly moaned Max.

{Did I hurt you?} Asked Livia, a bit surprised by the human reaction.

"No. Quite the opposite actually." Reassured Max.

{Phew, that's good. But does that mean you don't mind me doing it again?} She lewdly asked.

"N-not at all."

After giving him a small grin, the sylveon stuck out her tongue and gave him a lick from base to top again, sending small pleasure waves through Max's body.

"Despite being slightly rough… your tongue is pretty pleasurable."

{So you like it?}

"Y-yes, I do."

{… I must say that it's quite nice to hear that.} Said Livia while staring at the human's member. {… But I kind of want to taste more of it.}

Immediately after, the sylveon opened her maw and made the tip of the human's shaft touched her tongue before closing it around the thing. When her lips were wrapping around it, she instinctively tried to taste more of it by moving her up and down while using her tongue as much as possible. After only a few seconds, she seems to really enjoy the taste as she was getting more eager by pushing the tip to the back of her throat.

"You're… quite naturally good at this."

Mostly ignoring him, she continued to taste him for a moment until she felt it twitching a bit. Not hearing the human complain or say anything besides some low moans, she only guessed that she was doing well and it was a good sign.

"Livia… maybe you should slow down a bit."

Not listening at all, she even went slightly faster, wondering what was coming. Luckily enough, she soon finds out what it was about when she felt hot and sticky fluids in her mouth. Quite surprised by that, she slightly choked on it before leaving the human's shaft.

"S-sorry. I forget to warn you." Said Max.

Even while coughing a bit, she pretty much enjoyed the taste and tried to swallow as much as possible. When she was coughing anymore, she could focus more on the taste while swallowing the rest.

{I don't know what it was… but it was pretty tasty.} She said while licking her lips.

"Sorry if it almost choked you." Apologized Max.

{Don't worry, it's not the first time a thing like that happens to me.}

"Oh."

{But let's no talk about it and focus on a more important matter instead. I have to say that I'm rather impatient to finally mate.}

"Still up to continue?"

{Yes. The more I am with you, the stronger my lust is getting.}

"O-okay then."

{Wonderful. Now…} She said before turning her rear towards him again before shaking it. {How about we finally start?}

"Eh, not the kind to say no that a lady." Said Max before slowly getting behind her. "But I have to ask, is it your first time?"

{… Not really. I did it with a pokemon before meeting my master, but I didn't like it. It was probably because he wasn't considerate as much as you.}

"True that. Kind of good because it will just make things less rough for you."

{Yeah, I know that the first time is a bit painful.}

"Well, here I go then." Said Max before rubbing his tip against her soft entrance. "Damn, you're soaking wet down here." Commented Max.

{Make sense since I rarely get this excited.}

Without adding anything, Max then slowly pushed his tip inside, already feeling her incredible softness that could be comparable to Bonny. Going further, he also felt that she was pretty hot and narrower than he expected. Compare to Bonny, she was slightly less soft but tighter, making her inside very pleasurable.

{So that's… how a human feels?} Said Livia with a pleasured voice.

"You feel… pretty good Livia."

{Same with you… Max.}

"I'm… gonna start moving now."

A second after his last word, Max began to thrust his hips back and forth slowly at first since she wasn't that used to mating.

{SSyyha!} Moaned Livia.

"Was it… a pleasure moan?" Asked Max, wanting to be sure that he didn't hurt her.

{Yes it was. Just… keep going please.} Almost pleaded Livia.

"S-sure thing."

Keeping a slow pace, Max resumed his work on the sylveon, making her softly moan a few seconds later.

{Ahh… a human… feel so good… aah.} Moaned the pokemon after a few thrusts.

While putting all of his heart at it, Max's pleasure was quickly rising, as well as the sylveon. Over the wet impact noises that her soaking wet entrance was making, Livia's moans were slowly getting louder over time. Feeling the heat getting more intense alongside her pleasure, the sylveon dropped her chest on the ground while raising her rear as much as possible. After a moment, she was even unconsciously started to push back when Max was thrusting so she could feel it more.

"Do you want me to… go harder?" Asked Max.

{Y-yes, please. I want… to feel more of it.} She moaned in pleasure.

Doing as asked, Max went a bit harder on her, which had the effect of making her moans even louder again.

{That feels… too good.} She moaned with her tongue stuck out.

After a couple more thrusts, she then felt another orgasm coming up.

{It's… coming… Max.} Moaned the sylveon while looking at him.

After nodding, Max went again a bit faster and stronger, having the same effect as earlier. Roughly a minute later, Max felt her rear muscles as well as her legs getting all stiff while letting an ecstatic scream. Even with her inside was crushing Max, it wasn't enough to make him come as well. However, he was pretty close. When her body went back to normal again, she went limp but Max prevented her from falling and gently dropped her lower half.

{That was… so amazing.} Said the sylveon, slightly panting.

"At least you're not disappointed about what it's like being with a human."

{Disappointed? Eh, I'm far from that. I'm just wondering how intense it could have been with my master.}

Not knowing what to say, Max only looked at her as she unplugged herself for him to land on her side, looking at Max.

{But I shouldn't think about it since its dead for me and him with that matter.}

"Livia…"

{But whatever. Now I can finally enjoy it, so that's what I will do.} She said before standing up and put her paws on his thighs. {Mind if we do it again?} Asked the sylveon a bit lustfully.

"N-not at all." He said, looking at his still hard shaft.

{Awesome.} She happily said. {But… can I be on top?} She asked a bit shyly.

"… Sure, if it's your wish." Said Max before doing so.

{Thanks, Max. I always wanted to do it because…}

Suddenly, Livia stopped before finishing her sentence, like she didn't want to say more than she should.

"Because what?" Asked Max, now curious.

{I… don't know if I should tell you…} She said while starting to grind her entrance against Max's hard member.

"Feel free not to if you don't want to, but I'm kind of curious."

{… Well…} She shyly started. {I… kind of always wanting to do this to my master to show him who's boss since he's always the one that gives orders.} She said, a bit embarrassingly.

"Really?" Said Max with a grin. "You sure have some kinky fantasies."

{S-shut up. I just wanted to be the one in charge for once.}

"… Well, luckily for you, I don't dislike assertive females, so feel free to do as you want."

{… Thanks, Max, I really appreciate it.} She warmly said.

"No problem. Scarlet may not look like it, but she's really into domination."

{… Do you perhaps… have grown to like it?} Asked Livia with a lewd grin.

"M-maybe." He said, looking away.

{Eh, I think I'm not the only one that is into kinky things. Looks like we have more in common than I first thought.} She said before aligning herself.

"Looks… like it." He said while she was impaling herself with his shaft.

{Feel… so good.} She said, already moaning after starting her riding.

Maybe due to her previous orgasm, but the sylveon was tighter and oddly softer than before, rising Max's pleasure greatly. With Livia being in charge and after a few pounds, her moans were back as well as the wet impact noises.

{Who's… the boss now… human?}

"W-what?" Asked Max, not sure about what he heard.

{I said… Who is the boss now?} She said a bit louder while contracting her inside on Max, choking the human's member.

"Hmpff, y-you are."

{Good human.} Moaned the sylveon.

(Geez, she's really getting into it.) Thought Max.

After her words, the sylveon then went a bit faster and stronger, almost like she was rewarding the human for complying. With her tongue stuck out with a very lewd expression, she finally felt the human getting slightly bigger and hotter and instinctively knew what it was meaning.

{Come on human, don't contain yourself, and shoot everything you have.} She moaned quite loudly.

Not having a choice anyway, Max wasn't able to hold on any longer and exploded inside her small love tunnel, repainting it in white.

{Shhaaa! That's hot but… that feels so good.} Loudly moaned the sylveon. {I… I'm… feeling it again.}

Upon feeling the hot substance spraying all over her womb, the sensation made her get closer to her climax and went as fast as possible, making her orgasming a few seconds after Max. After relaxing, Livia let herself fall on the human's chest, slightly panting again.

{How come… mating with a human… is so pleasant?} Wondered the sylveon.

"Personally… I don't know. It's something you should ask one of the girls."

{I'll ask later. For now, I still want more.}

"We shouldn't keep your master waiting for too long, or else he will suspect something."

{Just a few more times.} Almost pleaded the sylveon.

Max then looked at her, thinking.

"… Okay, but just one more."

{Just one?} Said the sylveon, a bit disappointed.

"Tell you what, after you arrived at Redfiledtown, you will stay for the night, right?"

{Probably at my master's grandmother's house, yes. Why?}

"Then if you still want to do it, then you could sneak out of the house and met me outside a bit later."

{That… would be very nice of you Max.} Happily said Livia.

"Don't mention it."

{But my master and I will probably head back to Zino City tomorrow morning.}

"Then we will have to enjoy our time together as much as possible."

{I… yeah, good idea.} She said before leaving. {Well… if we can continue tonight, then we should stop for now.}

"Alright."

{Just make sure to tell me when and where you will be.}

"Sure thing." Said Max while putting on his pants after standing up.

With that, they both left the place and headed towards the road where everyone was waiting. When they arrived, neither he nor Livia have seen Scarlet on their way here.

"There you are. I was starting to get worried that maybe something bad had happened to you." Said Jack.

"Sorry. I talked with… Scarlet." Lied Max.

"Is that so? But why is Livia with you instead of your gardevoir?"

"Scarlet went hunting something for the rest of us, and on my way back here, I came across her." Lied Max again.

"Okay. Well, at least her walk seems to have made her happier." He said when he looked at her.

{It does.} Said Livia with a smile before getting next to Jack, nuzzling him.

"Hehe, glad to hear. And what about you girls? Hope you didn't make trouble." Asked Max to his team that hasn't really moved since he left.

{You know us master, we are the most peaceful pokemon ever.} Said Bonny nonchalantly.

"Actually, the question was more for you than the others." Said Max while crossing his arms.

{Me again? Geez master, if I didn't know you, I could think that I'm your favorite.} Joked Bonny.

"You are my favorite lopunny."

{I'm also your only one.}

"Easier that way." Said Max before sitting next to her.

{Master…} Said Bonny with a desperate tone but with a smile. {You won't attract lots of girls of those cheesy jokes.}

"Eh, I already have you girls." Said Max before petting Bonny's head, at which she pushed it against his hand in glee.

{It's true that you can hardly find better than us.} She said before leaning against his shoulder.

"Glad to see that modesty still hasn't choked you yet."

{And not going to happen, since you know that I can take a lot in my mouth.} Lowly and lewdly said, Bonny.

"Is there a peak to your deprivation?" Said Max, very lowly as well.

{Hmmm… maybe. But honestly, I don't know, hihi.} She said before nuzzling him.

"Good thing that not all of my team is like you. Otherwise, I'd be dead for a little while now."

{Scarlet would have been there to keep you energized.}

"Probably, but a body does have a limit at some point."

{True. Oh well, more for me and Scarlet I guess.}

"Very compassionate of you." He said while petting her head again.

{What? I'm just enjoying my situation, that's all.}

"Indeed you do."

As they were waiting for Scarlet, Max and Jack were passing the time with their pokemon. As Max's team was flirting with him and assaulting him with sex jokes, Jack's team was mostly relaxing with Livia being petted by Jack. However, the sylveon couldn't help but look at Max from time and time, feeling a bit envious, especially when she saw the lopunny discretely rubbing the human crotch a moment before Max told her to stop. Oh boy, she wished that it could happen with her master. Then, after a little while, Scarlet appeared from the woods.

{Dinner will be ready soon. I just need Dusk to prepare it.} Said Scarlet.

{Coming.} Answered Dusk before standing up.

After Max nodded, both his braixen and gardevoir went into the woods to prepare lunch.

"Did she find something?" Asked Jack.

"Yup. She and my braixen will get it ready for us."

"Eh, we sure can't doubt the bond you have with your team."

"Yeah, we all are pretty close to each other, and I won't exchange any of them for anything in the world." He said before hugging Bonny and petting May that was now between his legs.

"Even your lucario?" Lowly asked Jack, in the hope she didn't hear, curious about his response.

"Even my precious and pretty lucario." Said Max, making her look away while huffing.

"Your relation sure doesn't look really shiny."

"I haven't had her for a very long time, so she still needs to get used to me."

"But I was wondering… does she… really want to stay with you?" Asked Jack, wondering if the problem could be somewhere else.

"Don't worry, I asked her and she was indeed willing to stay. I love pokemon as much as you, so I would never do such a thing."

{You did at first.} Commented Aurora.

"I did ask you a few times if you really wanted to leave."

{'Hmpf', whatever.} She growled.

"She's the very prideful type. She would never admit that in the end, it's not so bad being with me."

{In your dream.} Said Aurora, making Jack's pokemon giggle a bit.

"Well, as long as everyone is happy with their position…" Said Jack.

"I'm sure we are. You could ask any of my pokemon, am I right sweety?" Said Max while petting May's head.

{I couldn't be happier than being with you master.} Said the mawile while pushing her head into her master's hand.

{I second that.} Said Bonny, almost rubbing herself against him

"I sure can't say otherwise." Said Jack, seeing Max's pokemon behavior. "… But I was wondering…"

{Dinner is ready.} Said Scarlet, appearing from the woods with two plates of meat.

"Technically, it's lunchtime." Said Max while Scarlet was giving a plate to Max and almost threw it at Jack that had a smaller portion.

{Playing smart ass again? You know that it doesn't end well when you play that game, master.} Said Scarlet with a seductive expression.

"Yeah, I know it too well." Said Max, rolling his eyes with a smile. "… But you could have given Jack a bit more you know." He added when he noticed the other human's plate."

"That's fine. I am grateful that she was willing to even give me some."

{You should be.} Muttered Scarlet almost aggressively before giving him a quick glare.

Livia sensed the slight hostility with the gardevoir and wanted to defend him, but she knew that it was best to say nothing.

"Still… but thanks, Scarlet. That was really nice of you." Said Max to Scarlet.

{Whatever.} She simply said before sitting on the other side of Max.

"Where's Dusk?"

{She's coming.}

Max didn't know why, but he felt that Scarlet wasn't telling everything.

(Is something wrong?) Thought Max.

[Eh, I see that you're feeling sensor have gone better. Don't worry, she's fine but, let's just say that she still have a bit hard time with… dead bodies and blood.]

(Dead bodies and blood? Why are you…)

[Where do you think that meat came from? In order to get it, I have to kill an animal and ask Dusk to cook it with her powers. I won't explain the whole process of butchery, mainly because you already know it, but it implies skinning and flesh tearing.]

(Yeah, I know how butchery work, it's just… how she managed to do it until now?)

[She was closing her eyes until I was done and only giving her the bloodless piece of meat. But look like she got a bit curious and opened her eyes, which made her kind of sick.]

(Shit, poor Dusk.) Thought Max, quite worried.

[Calm down. As I said, she's fine. She just needs a bit of space and alone time. But I have to say she really should toughen up a bit.]

(We're not all as tough as you Scarlet. Dusk, or should I say everyone here, is way more sensitive than you.)

[I hope you're not implying that I'm emotionless again.] Said Scarlet, not sure she liked what Max said.

(Of course not. You already know that I wasn't thinking that and that I was really sorry.) Thought Max while gently rubbing one of Scarlet's legs.

[… Yeah, I do. It's just that sometimes, I have the feeling that you see me as a monster.] Said Scarlet, a bit upset.

(I know that you already know that I'm not thinking that.)

[I know that too. It's just… a feeling that I unconsciously create I guess.]

(Anyway, even if you were a monster, I wouldn't mind that much. After all, monsters are known to have a great appetite.) He thought while moving his rubbing to her inner leg.

[Tsk, always the word to make me feel good, do you?] She said with a growing smile.

(That and other things.) Thought Max with a seduction face.

[If it wasn't from your food you need to eat and the human, I would show you how much of a monster I can be when I want to.] Lustfully said Scarlet while discretely grabbing Max's crotch behind May's back.

(Better chance next time.) Said Max with an almost provocative grin.

{Hey, I was there before.} Said May when she felt Scarlet's hand.

{Sorry pretty girl, but I was just showing master his place.} Half lied Scarlet before lightly petting May's head.

{What did you do again master?} Asked Bonny when she heard the conversation.

"Nothing. She just assaulted me for no reason."

{Sure, no reason.} Said Bonny with a skeptical tone, making everyone but Max giggle.

"It's kind of odd but special seeing you talking and understanding your pokemon that well." Said Jack, still eating.

Over time, Max wasn't paying much attention that even though he can understand them, they were still talking in their native language that only he could understand and that it was just regular pokespeech to others.

"Well, I'm pretty used to it, but I guess it can be for others." Answered Max.

"So, if I get myself get a psychic pokemon, I could also understand pokemon as you do?"

"That's a possibility, but I wouldn't recommend that to you."

"Why?"

"Even with me and Scarlet sharing a very deep bond and that she knew what she was doing, it was pretty risky. She almost put me into a permanent coma."

"Oh. I don't know if I'm ready to go that far for something that I can roughly do."

"Yeah. Though Scarlet and I are pretty special."

"I don't doubt it."

"Say, what were you about to say before Scarlet arrived."

"Oh, hmmm, never mind that. It wasn't that important anyway."

"… Okay."

At this moment, Dusk finally appeared from the woods, not looking that well.

"You okay Dusk?" Asked Max, concerned.

{Yeah. I just need some rest.} She answered a bit weakly.

"You got it, girl. Thanks for your help by the way, but don't push yourself too hard with things like that okay?"

{I just need to get used to it, that's all.}

"... If you say so."

{Don't worry master, I know my limits and what I can do.} Fervently said Dusk, determined to be useful to her master.

"... Alright. You do deserve a rest then." Said Max before putting her back in her pokeball. "I can't help but feel a bit bad for her."

{You shouldn't be. She's trying her best for you master.} Said Scarlet.

"I know." Said Max, knowing it was pointless at arguing at his companions' devotion.

"Not wanting to interrupt, but we should resume our walk if we want to arrive before night time." Said Jack.

"Good point. Sorry girls, but it's time to move."

{Aww, I was so comfortable like this." Slightly complained Bonny.

"I know, me too." Said Max before rubbing her head.

After getting up, Jack and Max put their pokemon in there pokeball before getting back on the road with Livia and Scarlet next to their respective trainer.
