The year is 2435. Pokemon and human relationships have been common for over 400 years now and as a result, many Pokemon now took on a more humanoid appearance walking on two legs with flexible thumbs while still keep almost all of their own physical traits. In the simplest of terms anthro. A pure human was rare sight these days and a pure human family was next to impossible to find. Still, there are feral versions of many Pokemon in this day and age.

Chapter 1:

It another day just like any other for Alex Whitewing. He'd wake up early in the morning and get to high school as the teachers were arriving. He would spend his time researching in the schools library with his only company being the librarian and sometimes a student or two who was trying to get caught up on missing work. Once school started, he would go through all of his classes surpassing most everyone. At lunch, he always ate alone under the shade of an old oak tree on the side of the building and almost always had a book with him. Finally, once school ended, he'd spend another hour or two in the library once again doing research. Alex would then make his way home in the late afternoon or early evening.

Alex, a young human about five and half feet tall was on his way home by himself like always. He had very few friends and chose to spend most of his time alone and he was perfectly content with this. Alex had built a small cave into the side of cliff located on the outskirts of the town he currently lived in located in the southern end of the Welforth Region. Unlike most other regions, the Welforth Region was warm and had a wonderful climate year round. While mostly occupied by flatlands and dense forests, many would come here for the coastlines which were busy almost everyday excepts those in which a storm had moved in. One of other most common attractions of the Welforth Region were the mountain hot springs that littered almost every large mountain in the region.

Alex wore a pair of shorts combined with a T-shirt, both of which were a light green in color and kept him warm even into the late hours of the night. His semi-long messy brown hair was slightly combed and came down the back of his neck, but left his blue eyes uncovered for the world to see. His pupils were very dull and red, but you could only see the center of them, as they were so small He walked with a slight limp favoring his left leg over his right. It wasn't that he was actually wounded, but rather that it hurt to walk on it at times. A disease had infected his leg when he was young and while the damage was minimal, it still caused him some pain now and then. He wore no footwear today and the grass felt nice under his feet. Luckily, it had not rained lately, so he wouldn't have to worry about getting mud between his toes.

His left arm was scarred from an old injury he had gained from falling down a cliff long ago and that unfortunate event still affected him today. The ordeal had given him a case of amnesia that had yet to lift. He knew his name and a few things like that, but he couldn't remember who his family was or where he lived back then. He just recalled what he was, his training as a hunter, and other seemingly random facts from before the accident. A family made of a Nidoking and a pair of Nidoqueen took him in for roughly two years before he left at the age of twelve on bad terms. Since then, he has lived on his own and here he was four years later still trying to find out why he had taken that danger ridden mountain pass that day. There was a second much safer route that led around the mountain, so why take the risk of the mountain pass? This question along with many others however remained unanswered even to this very day.

Finally, the cliffside where he had built his house came into view. He sped up his walking pace, the grass under his feet slowly giving way to a roughly flat stone ridden terrain. The cave that served as his house looked like someone had spent years to make it.

The walls and floor were perfectly smooth and level and every edge of the room was rounded. There were very few pieces of furniture in the four room cave. A fridge, counters, a sink, a pair of cabinets, and fire pit took up very little room in the large kitchen which could, if outfitted properly, handle up to eight cooking at the same and still have extra room. The bedroom, which was just as large as the kitchen, but also just like the kitchen, was barely occupied. A pair of hammocks served as beds and aside from a nightstand with a lamp on it and a small dresser, the room was completely barren. The living area had a couch in it and a bookshelf that was barely occupied only having a few books to fill the shelves. There was also a large toolbox in one corner filled with various tools and a phone on one of the walls. The room itself was twice as large as the kitchen. Finally, the bathroom, which happened to be the only properly outfitted room of the house, was fairly large and equipped with a custom made shower which had a ready supply of warm water at all times. There were no other rooms in this house, at least for now, but every room so far had been properly outfitted with lights and power.

Alex took a seat on the couch. He adjusted his shirt and pulled the necklace that was hidden from view out of hiding. The necklace had three gems on it. The center gem was a ruby in the shape of large fang with the outer gems, both of which were sapphires, were in the shape of teardrops. This was the one of the few things he had always kept with him for it was one of the few things from his past he had always had. A knock at the door caught his attention and Alex put the necklace down the bookshelf where it was once again hidden from view. Alex then made his way to the door where he found one of his only two friends waiting for him.

"What brings you out this far from town, Aelita? Your father would have a fit if he knew you were here." Alex said upon noticing the Absol at his door. She barely stood at eye level with him even though they were the same age. Her white fur was bright as always and the fur on the back of her head was long and braided coming down to her waist. She wore a blue shirt with a matching pair of pants. Like always, her yellow eyes shined brightly.

"I'm not alone." Aelita responded at which point her father stepped forward. He easily towered over his child and Alex who was about a foot shorter then him.

"I've come to ask a favor. I'll be heading out of town for a week, possibly more and I'd like you to watch over my daughter while I'm gone. I don't want to risk her schooling on the chance that I may get delayed while I'm away." He spoke in a strong voice wearing a fancy black suit with the company logo of a golden crescent moon on top of a silver sun. "I offered her a choice of possible places and she opted to stay with you... again."

"Very well, come on in." Alex moved aside and let the two Absol into his small house.

"Here are your things, Aelita. As for me, I'm already late. I just hope I can catch the next flight." The large Absol stopped one more time in the doorway after setting down a suitcase for his daughter. "I don't think I have to tell you, but if any thing happens to my daughter."

"You'll skin me alive, I heard you the first time you asked if she could stay here. If you don't trust me, then why do you give her the option to stay at my place every time you're called upon to go to other cities for days at a time." Alex asked.

"I've lost my wife and I'm still not used to that fact. I can't stand to lose my daughter as well." The Absol replied.

"Call my cell once you get back so we know when to meet up with you." Alex shouted as the Absol took off. "Come on, let's get your bag put up and I can start on dinner. It is getting to be that time of day." Alex walked toward the bedroom and opened the door carrying Aelita's things.

"Thanks so much for letting me stay. My father's boss just called him a short while ago and told to get on a plane to Sinnoh." Aelita explained.

"That man drives your father hard." Alex replied. "I was planning on just making some roman tonight, but since you're here, is there anything you'd like that I can make?"

"I haven't had perch in a long time." Aelita's ears perked up some hoping for some of her favorite food.

"Then perch it is." Alex made his way to the kitchen to start the meal while Aelita came to help.

--

Alex made dinner with Aelita's help and made what looked like a very hard meal to cook look very easy, something that came with practice. Since there was no dining room or tables, both Alex and Aelita ate on the couch. Aelita talked a lot and Alex listened adding comments here and there. She knew Alex didn't have much to say, but just being around him gave her sense of peace for some reason. Finally, after they had finished dinner, Alex began his work on creating the dining area for the house he had built and just so happened to still be building.

"Don't stand too close to me. I don't want you to get hurt from this." Alex warned Aelita. She had seen him do this once before and knew all to well the toll it took on Alex. She coudl only image the pain it would inflict on her if she got caught in the attack.

The young Absol backed up some as Alex placed his hands on the wall where he was planning on adding the new room. Taking deep breaths, Alex prepared himself for one of his most powerful attacks. Even though he looked human, he was far from it. Very few people knew just how strong Alex was and Aelita was one of them. A light green aura like light shone from Alex's hands. His once blue eyes went green as he began to channel his spirit energy into his hands. His breathing became deeper and heavier as he was finally ready to use the attack. He started to push on the wall with hands as if it would move. Slowly, the wall began to bend a bit, but only in small area large enough to be a doorway. Alex applied more pressure as the wall continued to bend back creating a sturdy doorway.

With one final forceful push, the wall was sent back deeper into the cliff as a new room was quickly formed. Just like with every other room, the edges were rounded and the entire room was as smooth as polished granite, but so much stronger. By expanding his spirit energy into a basic shape with this attack, Alex was able to quickly create new rooms for the house without fear of cave-ins. This was do the fact that dirt and stone that had once occupied the area where the new room once stood was forcefully compacted to form the walls, ceiling, and floor of the new room.

Alex fell to his knees his eyes returning to their natural color. The attack had taken a lot out of him and he was just barely able to support himself. Aelita ran over to make sure he was all right.

"No matter how many times I use that attack, I'm never prepared for the sudden lose of energy." Alex slowly made it over the couch after he stood up which greatly depended on Aelita's help.

"That was amazing. I don't think anyone else could have pulled that off." Aelita praised Alex.

"I'm just barely to stand after a move like that. I won't be able to do much more work on this place tonight." Alex informed his guest.

"It's alright. How's your leg holding up?" Aelita asked knowing just how much his leg could bother him at times.

"It still hurts, but not that much." Alex replied.

"Let me make you some tea." Aelita suggested.

"It's in the right hand cabinet." Alex told her as she went to go make the tea.

Aelita came out a few minutes later with a cup of warm tea.

"Thank you." Alex sipped the tea as he adjusted his leg trying to ease the pain some. A sudden beeping from one of Alex's pockets alerted them both to the time. "I've got to start my weekly supply run before the stores close." Alex didn't like it, but unfortunately, he had to go back to town and get the supplies he would need to finish the new room he had just created. If he didn't leave soon, he would have to wait until the beginning of next week to get them as the shop he had ordered parts from wasn't open on weekends. "Now that I'm thinking about it, how long is father expected to be out in Sinnoh?" Alex asked as he put on his boots.

"At least a week." Aelita replied, her ears drooped down knowing that her father could very well miss her upcoming birthday in ten days.

"Come on, let's get going while there is still light out. We can talk on the way." Alex made his way over to the door still moving slightly slow from the short amount of time that he had to recover form the attack he used earlier.

"You mean I can talk and you'll just walk alongside me listening." Aelita joked.

"I am a man of few words." Alex smiled.

xXx

Alex and Aelita walked back to town as the sun just started to set. Aelita talked a lot on the way while Alex listened content to stay quite for the most part.

They had chosen to pass through the old part of town as it was faster to get to the hardware store that way. They were walking past an alley when both of them were grabbed and pulled into the alley.

"Let us go." Alex demanded.

"Shut up." One the brutes shouted. In all, there were four of them. A pair of Primates, a Duskclops, and a Typhlosion had dragged Alex and Aelita down the alleyway.

"Aelita, its been a while." The Typhlosion stepped forward.

"Michael?!" Aelita knew they were in trouble now. Michael was the school's big shot so to speak. He got whatever he wanted whether it was by money or force. His father owned a most of the town. Many girls had thrown themselves at Michael before because of his good looks, tough attitude, and the fact that he was the Pokemon Champion in the school tournaments for three consecutive years. Very few females passed on his advances, but Aelita was one of those few.

Michael had been after Aelita's heart, well, more like her body since the day he first saw her at the beginning of the school year. He had even tried to mate her once after a few months of her turning him down although a few teachers intervened and made sure to get Michael expelled. Not only did they secede, they almost got him arrested while they were at it. If not for his father, he would be in a detention center right now.

"I must say, you have caused me a bit of trouble. Now, I'll finally get what you owe me." Michael walked over to her and placed a hand her face. He could see just how scared she was as he held her face tightly even though she tried to jerk free. Alex's struggle grew more violent upon seeing this.

"Knock it off kid. There's no way a human could break my hold." The Primate holding Alex told him.

"One problem, I'm not human." Alex eye's became a deeper shade of green the more he struggled. (I just had to pick today to add the new room.) Finally, he broke one arm free of his captor's grip and slammed his elbow into the Primate's face before the second Primate planted his gloved fist into Alex's chest. Alex coughed up some blood as he was hit for second time. His struggling died down as he coninued to spit up more blood.

"I've heard a lot about you. The name is Andrew, no that's not it. Andy, no that's not it either." Michael leaned down to check on Alex as he was forced onto his knees.

"Leave Alex alone." Aelita shouted.

"Ah, yes. It is Alex isn't it. There are people that talk about you, but they never seem to get your name right. They do however seem to recall that you two get along quite nicely." Michael turned back toward Aelita. "I know that you two are good friends. If you agree not to struggle and let me have what I want, then I won't hurt him. Resist and I'll beat the both of you down and then have my way with you." Michael smirked. "Either way, I'm going to mate with you."

"Alex?" Aelita whispered, her eyes began to tear up before she went limp giving in to Michael's demands. The Duskclops that had been holding her let her go as she slunk to the ground hoping it would be over quickly. She knew Alex was weak from the attack he had used and may not be able to fight them off in his current condition. There was even a chance that he may die if they decided to beat him down in his weakened state. However, he still had to try to matter the odds.

Michael once again placed his hand on her face as he moved in to kiss her. Michael quickly moved his other hand down to the prize he had long since wanted.

"I'm not done yet." Alex looked up, his green eyes gave off a dull glow. His pupils that were normally very dull and hard to see were now very, very clear. The red spiral cross shaped pupils seemed to pierce right through Michael. "Let me show you my spirit form." Alex yanked both of arms forward breaking free of the Primate that were once holding him down. A bright green light shot out of his right hand and kept growing and shaping itself. In just about a second, a light green, ghost like blade had formed in his hand. The blade was at least nine feet long with a very thin blade like that of a katana, just much, much longer. However, unlike a katana, the blade's edge was sort of hooked like a saw, all of these very short hooks pointed down toward the hilt of the blade.

"Nice trick." Michael clapped his hands amused by the show of ability. "Get him." All three of the other Pokemon charged Alex, who quickly evaded them all by jumping up into the air. With one quick z shaped slash of his newly formed blade, all three of his foes fell over writhing in pain. Each of them had large gash on their body, nothing fatal, but still serious enough to prevent chase. Alex landed hard almost falling over and used the wall to help him stay up.

"Now, let her go." Alex pointed his blade at Michael.

"Please, you barely have the strength to stand." Michael taunted as he grabbed Aelita.

"Aelita. Don't move." Alex warned her. Aelita just nodded her head. Aelita had a great trust in Alex and knew that Alex would safely free her from Michael's grasp. Alex drew his blade back and thrust the weapon and himself forward. The ghost like blade passed through Aelita barely leaving a mark, not to say that this didn't hurt her. Michael on the other hand felt the full force of the weapon and was forced backward as the blade dug deep into his shoulder.

"Why you." Michael screamed in pain as he landed on his backside. "I'll get you for this, both of you." The blade had dug all the way through Michael's shoulder and was sticking out the other end. As Michael fell backward, the part of the blade that had passed through Aelita was jerked straight up and luckily did minimal damage to Aelita. The blade tore through her shirt and messed up her fur a bit, but that was all. Alex fell to the ground unable to support himself any longer. The amount of energy he had used in such a short time was far more then he had ever used before and could end up with severe consequences.

Aelita ran over and grabbed him. They ran out of the alley although Aelita had to support Alex the whole way making sure to catch him whenever he was about to fall over. They quickly ran down the street and into the newer part of town before Michael had a chance to get them. Alex was no longer able to keep himself up and started to fall over too weak from the amount of strain he was under to even talk. He quickly lost consciousness. Aelita then carried him over to the Pokemon Center which luckily, was not too far.

xXx

The sun had finally set over the town. The only light came from a lamp in the corner of the hospital room. Alex awoke to the sounds of running water. "Huh? What happened?"

Aelita who had been pouring herself a cup of cup heard Alex's comment and dropped her paper cup in the sink. She rushed over to greet her friend. "Michael grabbed us as we were walking through the old part of town. You saved me from him." Aelita hugged Alex tightly. The door opened as a Chansey had walked in to see how her patients were doing.

"I'm glad to see your up." The Chansey walked over to Alex and checked his pulse and heartbeat. "From what I can tell, I think your going to be alright. It would help if there were more of your kind to check as a reference."

"I am very unique. It is possible that I may be the only one of my kind, what ever it is that I am." Alex responded.

"The only fact as of date that we know for sure is that you are in fact some sort of evolved human." The Chansey informed Alex.

"That's common knowledge for me." Alex sighed. "I just want to know why I'm the only one of my kind I've seen. Surely, there have to be more. I can't be the only one."

"If there are more out there, there are no records of them." The Chansey explained. "Now that you're up, perhaps you can tell me what happened? Aelita says that you summoned a sword out of nowhere and used it to fend off Michael and his gang. Personally, I think the stress got to her."

"He did. He really did summon a sword." Aelita half shouted.

"I just don't see how that is possible even for him. Its not like he can just create things out of nothing." The Chansey countered.

"It wasn't a sword I summoned, it was my spirit form. Everyone has one, but very few can use it." Alex told them. "Most of the time, those who can use their spirit form take on something that gives them hope or a sense of safety like armor or the shape of another. Some take on the form of monster and let the monster take on the monsters that they fear in a sense of the word. In any case, the spirit form always takes on some sort of form linked to the summoner's subconscious thoughts and always grants the summoner great speed and strength." Alex head sank some as he recalled the sad tales that blade oriented from. "Me, my spirit form was the blade called the Lunar Star."

"A blade. Why a blade? What purpose would that serve?" Chansey asked.

"The Lunar Star is the nine foot blade used by the knights in a string of fairy tales my father always told me when I was very young. The blade in the story was said to be made of moonlight and was only used by those would protect the innocent. The first time I used my spirit form was long ago and that was what shape my spirit form took." Alex told them. "Once a person takes on their spirit form for the first time, that form becomes their strongest spirit form. Over time, their spirit form may change as events happen and affect them, but their first spirit form will always be their strongest."

"Very well, I'll take you word on the matter as I have nothing else to compare it with." Chansey headed for the door. "I'll have to ask you to stay over night. You were very weak when Aelita dragged you in and I want to make sure you recover your energy before you leave."

"So much for getting any work done this weekend." Alex leaned back as he adjusted his position from a sitting on the edge of the bed to sitting against the headboard of the bed. Aelita took a seat on the second bed that was in the room. Now that Alex actually looked at her, she had a new shirt on. This new shirt was red T-shirt and a little large on her, but Alex could still see the bandages that were hidden underneath it. "What happened to you?"

"When your spirit form as you called it pierced Michael's shoulder, he fell back and the blade was jerked up. My shirt was ruined, but I'm fine. Just a few minor cuts and scrapes." Aelita told him.

"I'm sorry for hurting you, but we were in a real bind. I was running out of energy fast and had to do something to keep him off of you. I'll pay the hospital bill and buy you a new shirt." Alex offered as an apology.

"No, it's alright. The second I saw you summon that sword, I knew you'd get us out of there and you did. I just hope Michael leaves us alone now." Aelita walked back over to the sink and poured herself that cup of water she had almost forgotten about.

"I'm more concerned about if he tries to press charges against me. I know how powerful his father is and if he hires a lawyer." Alex worried.

"No, Michael wouldn't dare get his father involved in this. If word got out that a human gave him a wound like that, he'd never hear the end of it. He care's too much about his reputation to let something like that bring him down." Aelita told Alex. "What you should really worry about is staying away from him."

"I'll keep that in mind." Alex told her. "Say, here's another question for you. Why did you give in to Michael's demands so easily?"

"I though you were to too weak to fight them off. I didn't want you to get hurt." Aelita responded almost instantly not even thinking over her answer.

"You should know me better then that. If I'm not out cold, then I can still fight if I have to." Alex told her with half a smile on his face trying to hide the fact that he knew all to well the events today could have ended so much worse and possibly, with the death of both of them.

"And you know that I don't like seeing my friends get hurt." Aelita quickly told Alex. "You scared me today more then Michael did losing consciousness like that just after we got out of that alley." Aelita raised her voice some showing that she was indeed scared about the events that had taken place.

"I couldn't let Michael have his way with you. I've been down the road once and got lucky. I managed to break free, but still, those feelings from that day remain. It's not a thing I would willingly let happen to my friends." Alex told her, his voice had gone from a gentle tone to a serious one. "If I can do something to prevent such a thing from happening to others, you can bet that I will. That event plays a part in why I have lived alone for the past four years."

"I never knew that. What happened?" Aelita asked.

"It's not something I like to talk about." Alex replied. "I'm hungry, what about you?" Alex quickly changed the topic not wanting to think about the two years he had spent with that so called family who had found him all those years ago. Aelita knew it would be best not to bring up the past right now, not after the events that had happened only hours ago.

Alex went to go get up, but his right leg gave way under his weight causing him considerable pain. His face tightened, his teeth were visible, and his eyes were tightly shut as he grabbed his leg in pain.

"Alex!" Aelita jumped out of her bed and ran over to Alex knocking the pillow off the bed. She had reached Alex before the pillow had hit the floor. She then helped him back up onto the bed as the Chansey quickly rushed back into the room.

"What happened?" She demanded.

"My leg is acting up again." Alex taking deep breathes trying to steady himself.

"I'll get you a shot of pain killers and then we can take an X-ray to see if anything is broken." The Chansey offered.

"The X-ray won't be needed. I already know what's wrong with my leg." Alex informed her. "Before I evolved, I picked up an infection that caused some muscle deterioration. My evolution halted the bug and healed some of the damage, but not all of it."

"I thought evolution healed all forms of disease." The Chansey was very confused.

"The damage had already been done before I evolved. Just give my leg a minute to settle down." Alex was already beginning to feel the pain subside the more he left his leg alone. "I don't suppose it would be too much to ask if you bring me something to eat since I can't walk right now."

"I'll bring the both of you some soup. We have vegetable and cream of mushroom right now. Which would you like?" Chansey asked.

"Vegetable, please." Alex and Aelita replied.

Chansey left the room and returned a few minutes later to find that Aelita had pulled a chair over to Alex's bed. "I'm surprised you two aren't a couple yet."

"I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet." Alex informed her.

"And yet you charged into a fight, wounded no less, to save her." Chansey said in as somewhat questioning tone.

"I have my reasons. I always do." Alex told her.

"Alright. Anyway, here is your soup. Enjoy. I'll be back in a few hours to check back in on you." With that, the Chansey handed Alex and Aelita their bowls and left.

A very light beeping like ring sounded from the desk beside Aelita. Aelita saw Alex's small black cellphone was ringing and handed it to Alex. Alex flipped it open and an image of Aelita's father appeared on the screen.

"I know it's late and I just called to... Why are you in the Pokemon center?" Aelita's father started by apologizing, but quickly went to asking questions.

"Mr. Kilter, I'm surprised to hear from you so soon." Alex replied in a calm voice.

"What happened, where is my daughter?" Mr. Kilter demanded.

"Papa, relax. I'm fine." Aelita adjusted Alex's hand so that she was now in seen on the video link.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Mr. Kilter went into a frenzy of questions when he saw a stray bandage sticking out of her sleeve that had come undone.

"I'm fine. Michael tried to get me to go out with him and Alex fended him off for me." Aelita explained hoping her father would buy her story.

"Then how come the two of you are in the Pokemon center." Mr. Kilter was quickly becoming angry at the lack of detailed answers he wanted.

"Things got out of hand. Michael tried to take your daughter by force, but I fended him off." Alex explained knowing that Mr. Kilter would get he truth one way or another.

"I thought I told you to stay away from Michael." Mr. Kilter scolded his daughter. "If not for the fact that the air port has been shut down due to some stray bolt of lighting taking out the flight tower, I'd already be on my home to deal with you."

"With all due respect sir, Michael didn't leave us much choice." Alex explained. The screen suddenly went fuzzy and filled with static before a message appeared stating that the signal had been lost.

"What happened?" Aelita asked.

"Hold on, let me check." Alex brought up a menu and began scrolling around. Finally, he found what he had been looking. "According to this, there is a huge storm developing over the city where your father is at. No satellite signals can get through right now." Alex assured her. "Then again, it is the time of year for storms in Sinnoh. Don't tell me you didn't see the storm clouds behind your father."

"Does it say hold long this storm will hold out?" Aelita asked.

"By the looks of this weather report, at least until day break, maybe longer." Alex informed her. "Come on, let's eat. The soup is getting cold."

Alex and Aelita finished their soup and Ashley went to sleep shortly after. As for Alex, he just laid there for a while thinking about the reasons he still had the Lunar Star as his selected spirit form. Perhaps it was meant as a reminder of a past he was unable to remember. Alex finally drifted off an hour later around one in the morning.

xXx

Alex woke up early that morning. He didn't need too much sleep since he did lose consciousness for a while before going to sleep. He looked around and saw the start of the sunrise. The window gave him the perfect view of the sun rising up over the ocean. He started to move, but quickly realized that he was not the only who was awake. Aelita's eyes were wide open as she tilted her head to look at Alex.

"Alex, I have a question." Aelita voice was very nice, but sort of sad as if she feared the answer to the question she was going to ask.

"What is it, Aelita?" Alex sat up on the edge of the bed and moved his leg around seeing just how sore it was before he attempted to walk with it.

"Do you think we will ever be more then just friends?" Aelita asked taking a sitting position.

"What do you mean?" Alex was caught off-guard by the question. He had known Aelita for about a year and half now. They met back up in the last town Alex had built a house in and there first meeting was by the river that had passed through the town. It was just luck that Aelita's father had purchased a house in the same area where Alex had already planned on going for schooling, but both of them were happy to see each other again.

"I mean I want to be more then just friends with you. Yesterday was the second time you saved me." Aelita recalled the events of their first chance meeting last year.

Aelita had been walking one of the old riverside paths. She was walking along happily thinking nothing would happen even with the rapid next to the path as she had taken this path many times before. A sudden unexpected wave carrying a large fallen tree caught her out of the blue and dragged her into the river. Alex had been walking the riverside that day as well looking to gather berries when he saw Aelita getting swept away by the harsh river. He dropped the pack he had and using the rope he had with him, secured himself to a large tree before diving in and saving Aelita. It was chance meeting, but both of them were happy that it took place.

"What are you getting at?" Alex asked. He was not a social person, so he had no idea where Aelita was going with this. He was so far lost, that not even a map would help him.

"I mean I want to... to be...I want to be your mate." Aelita turned her head blushing hoping to hide her face out from the embarrassment. It was not uncommon for Pokemon to pick their mates as early as sixteen. This statement had Alex at a loss of words and his silence began to worry Aelita as she kept her head turned as it started to sink down some.

Alex got up and walked over to Aelita ignoring what little pain his leg gave him. "Aelita." Alex gently took hold of her shoulders. "I would be honored to have you as my mate." Alex gently pulled her closer to him. Aelita wrapped her arms around him and gently pulled him into what was meant to be short, but thankful kiss. It turned out long passionate kiss instead. As Alex had no idea what he was doing, he surrounded the lead to Aelita who could care less who led.

A quick knocking at the door quickly brought the two apart as Chansey entered the room just in time so see them break the kiss. "I was beginning to wonder if you two would ever get together. Anyway, I heard your voices and came to check up on the two of you. Seeing that you're on your leg Alex must mean that ready to leave. Let me give you a quick check up and if everything looks fine, I'll let the two of you go."

"Very well. The sooner we get out of here, the sooner we can get back to my house. Since I won't be able to do any work on the dining room this weekend, I guess I'll just spend it with you." Alex looked down at Aelita who was still sitting on the bed.

Chansey gave them both a quick check and removed Aelita's bandages since the few small cuts that she had were sealed over. As for Alex, Chansey looked him over and then pronounced them both fit to leave, but still told Alex not to strain himself. It would still take some more time for him to fully recover the energy loss he suffered from yesterday. Even a small confrontation could easily return him to the Pokemon Center. With that, Alex and Aelita headed back for Alex's house in the light of the rising sun. The sunlight glistened off the grass this morning adding a very peaceful and kind atmosphere to the air. Apparently, a light shower had rolled through the city last night.

--

Alex and Aelita were getting close to Alex's house when both of them slipped into a large mud puddle. Alex tried to correct himself as he started to slip, but his leg didn't like the sudden shift and gave way, luckily without the pain from the last time it gave out. Aelita used her claws to help prevent herself from falling, but Alex accidentally pulled her down with him and got both of them covered with mud.

"Well, at least there is warm shower waiting for us once we get back. I'll let you take the first shower though since we both know how hard it is to get mud out of fur." Alex offered as he picked himself up. Looking down the path revealed a welcomed sight, his house was only a short distance away.

"Or we could take a shower together?" Aelita offered. For the past few weeks, Aelita had been hoping to someday get close to Alex. Now that they were officially a couple, Aelita didn't feel like waiting anymore. She had a plan to show just how much she had grown to love Alex since there first meeting a year and a half ago.

"If that's what you want." Alex smiled as he got up and helped Aelita to her feet. Both of them were now covered in mud. They made their way to Alex's house where they then made their way to bathroom. He had no idea what Aelita was planning.

Alex closed the door as Aelita began to remove the shirt that the Chansey had let her borrow. Alex was already removing his shirt. Aelita wasn't wearing her bra as one strap had been cut from the events that took place yesterday. Her small, but still lovely breasts now moved freely as the shirt came off, but looked slightly larger due to the fur that covered her body. She now had a very slight scar on her left shoulder, but it was mostly hidden by her fur. As she handed Alex her borrowed shirt, she finally got a good look Alex. The scars on his left arm didn't stop at his shoulder like she had once thought, but instead covered much of his left side. It looked like a web of very light red lines flowing all the way from his arm down to his shorts where they finally stopped.

"Those scars are all from that one fall?" Aelita asked. Alex smiled knowing exactly which fall she was talking about. She was one of the very few people he had told about the fall that left him scarred and with a case of amnesia.

"This is my reminder of the events of that day." Alex told her looking down at his scars. Aelita laid her hand on his side and was able to partially feel rough texture of his scars. "I don't think they'll ever fade out."

Aelita slowly turned as she went to take of her pants. Her normally white panties had a light pink heart on the front of them, but do to the mud, they were now stained brown. Alex took off his belt as he started the shower that would easily accommodate both of them. For that matter, it was large enough for a pair of Feraligatr, which stood over seven and a half feet tall. In total, it had six showerheads, two on the left side and two on the right side of the shower. The last two were mounted on the ceiling. The far wall was built in two parts. The lower part held the drain for this large shower and it was built right into the wall. The upper part pushed deeper into the mountainside serving as a large stone bench of sorts.

They wouldn't have to wait for the warm water to kick in since the water came directly from the same source as the Ashzara Hot Springs the mountain was known for. As Aelita slowly began to remove her only undergarment, Alex was finally removing his shorts. Aelita stepped into the shower letting the water run over her face and down her body. The mud on her was still wet and would wash away with only the slightest bit of work.

Alex removed his plain gray boxers and after setting down his clothing and Aelita's in different piles in the sink, stepped into the shower with his back to Aelita's.

At first he simply let the water run down his body carrying with it some of the mud that had covered his body. Aelita was finishing up with her arms and upper body, her white fur was already returning to its natural color. "Could you help me with my back?" She asked. While she could reach most of her back, there were still a few places that she could not.

"Sure, I can do that." Alex turned, grabbed a scrub brush and gently worked the mud out of her back. Aelita enjoyed the feeling of how gentle Alex was as he worked making sure to go over every spot above her waistline much to the disappointment of Aelita.

"Alex." Aelita turned to face Alex. The water ran down her back quickly collecting the mud off her tail and nether regions. She looked up at him with her kind eyes looking straight in Alex's.

"Yes Aelita?"

"Thanks again for saving me yesterday." With one quick motion, Aelita stood on her toes and kissed Alex. It was a short innocent kiss, but gave Alex a speechless reaction. Aelita blushed as she stood back on her feet leaning against Alex, her head on his chest. Alex wrapped her arms around her smiling. He was beginning to feel something he had not felt in long time. This feeling of warmth had been long since locked away every since he first started living on his own. He did his best to keep his emotions in check since the first day he had left that so called family of Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

The two of them stood there for a while quietly as the water ran over their bodies. It wasn't long before both of them were mud free, but still they just stood there. Aelita felt at peace in his arms, happy and carefree. Alex felt a warm in his heart, something very new to him. For the better part of the four years he had spent living on his own, he was always searching for his past. He moved from one area to another in search of more information that related to whatever he was. He never really thought about life that much, but now he was thinking about it. For the first time a very long time, he thought about the present.

"Aelita. For the past few years, I've always lived alone in solitude. Perhaps it is time that I thought about something other then tracking down my past." Aelita smiled at Alex's words and wrapped her tail around the two of them at their waists. She had always made sure to keep it well trimmed and it felt nice pulling the two of them together. She once again looked at his face as she moved her arms around his neck. Slowly she moved up on her toes to kiss him again. Alex smiled leaning down some to make it easier for Aelita.

The lips connected again. Like before, it was a sweet, gentle kiss, but unlike before, it lasted more then just a second. Aelita once again took the lead after a few and pressed her tongue up against Alex's lips asking for passage. Alex spread his lips and Aelita slowly began to explore his mouth. It only took Alex a few seconds to begin trying to explore her mouth only to find the passage blocked by her tongue. Their tongues were now twisting and turning, gently fighting for dominance.

Alex was the first to break the kiss since he had smaller lungs then Aelita. Both of them smiled as Aelita continued to take the lead. Even if Alex wanted to, he had no idea where to start. "Alex?" Aelita looked up at Alex, her eyes full of love. The water continued to flow down them freely even though there was not even one spec of mud on them. "Would you..." Aelita began to blush very deeply running her hand down his chest. "Like to mate me?" Aelita knew this is what she wanted and even thought she had lots of time to think about it, she still ad trouble asking such a question.

"This has been the best day of my life. I could not ask for more then this." Alex replied. He limp member had already began to stiffen some. To help him along, Aelita had moved her hand all the down and gently took hold of the rod she was to soon feel inside her. As she once again began to kiss Alex, her hand gently rubbed his member making sure that he was ready for what was to come.

It wasn't long at all before Aelita could feel fully erect rod standing in her hand slightly nudging her stomach. She turned some and backed herself on to the stone bench.

"Are you sure you want this?" Alex asked as she laid back. Water still flowed over them freely in gentle streams running down their bodies.

"Yes, I know I want this." Aelita began to guide Alex to her entrance. "Please be gentle."

"I will." Alex reassured her with another kiss. With one hand, he held her head, and with the other, he held himself over her entrance. Aelita could the head of cock now touching her pussy. With a small thrust, Alex pushed his second head into inviting warmth that Aelita had offered.

Alex slowly pushed more of himself into his mate as small waves of pleasure began to flow over them. Alex was slow to enter and at last, he felt something obstructing his path. He looked to Aelita. "Shall I go on?" Alex had to make sure one last time before moving on that this was what Aelita wanted. Aelita once again wrapped her tail around Alex's waist and nodded as she closed her legs around him urging him to move on. Alex drew out, but a little and then with one swift thrust, he punctured her hymen.

Aelita jerked slightly at the pain and shifted some to find a more comfortable spot holding her legs tightly around Alex who waited Aelita to give the okay to continue. It didn't take long for the pain to ease and pleasure to take over. She looked up at Alex rocking her hips slightly showing that she was ready. Alex was slow to pull out leaving only the head of dick in Aelita before pushing back in slightly faster then he had pulled out. He pulled Aelita up some so that her back now rested on the wall rather then the stone bench as he began to thrust faster finally finding a steady rhythm. Alex could feel every vibration made my Aelita's pussy through his rod. Every pulse, every twitch, and every flexing muscle.

He ran one hand over the back of her head holding her in place while his second gently ran up and down her back. By now, they had completely forgotten about the shower and all they cared about was each other.

They kissed once again as they continued to mate each other. With Aelita's tail holding onto Alex like it was, she made sure that he wouldn't be leaving her anytime soon. She felt the constant movement of Alex's cock with in her and she loved every second of it. She had felt an eternal love within her for the man she had chosen. Her breaths were shorter now matching the Alex's movements as he thrust in and pulled out of her.

Alex and Aelita both knew that couldn't last much longer, but this wasn't just about mating. The love session was about showing each other how they felt, how much they loved each other, how much they meant to each other. Aelita was panting and she was very close to release as was Alex. Both of them looked at each other as Alex sped up one last time. They leaned in together and locked lips once more. Aelita was the first to climax, her pussy clamped down on Alex milking him, trying to coax out the white treasure that lay within him. Unable to hold out any longer, Alex began cum, his seed shooting deep into his love's pussy. At last, they broke their kiss.

Since the shower was already running, the two lovebirds washed themselves down once again as they prepared for the day. The day was far from over and they would spend it together.
