Recovery
I sighed. It had been a week since Adelina ran off after the misunderstanding. Officially, at the ranger headquarters, I was missing in action after another failed capture. At first, I continued with my duties, trying to look for Adelina along the way. However, that was affecting my work a lot, and I found myself unable to concentrate. It was just another morning without Adelina. I had woken up, hopeful to see Adelina by my side again. But it was not to be. Sighing, I walked into the lucario's private office. He was wearing a suit in a human form. He was changing form as he spoke.
"Open up. This place is private. Can't get over her...can you Kiaace? You seem to be discontent. And on the brink of mental collapse..." He added as a joke. Walking over to the door, he pushed it shut with a paw.
"Well...yeah..." I started. The lucario sneered.
"Heh. I always knew you were emotionally weak." The lucario sat down on his recliner and started lounging about. He turned to face the window, looking at the sun shining brightly through it.
"Stop it lucario! Please don't tease me anymore. I'm still hurting inside...it's just a misunderstanding...and then all this happened...in such a short period of time...and I still don't know who did it...I'm gonna go mad soon." I nearly broke down in front of him, trying my best to hold my tears back. The lucario didn't reply. "Can you at least look at me when I speak, you stuck up, pompous ass?" I almost felt like hitting him. He raised his paws and stretched in the chair.
"So...you don't have faith in the others then. Orland, Alyss, Alyssa...do you really believe that we have no ability to find her? You already know how powerful we are. And our powers. Do you still believe we can't find her?" Alyss, yawning, walked into the room.
"Morning lucario..." He yawned again. "Hi Kiaace..." He seemed lethargic these days.
"Hi Alyss..." The lucario mumbled. "Today, I want you to follow Kiaace to meet Ashen and Mike." Alyss looked at the lucario.
"This conversation is about ME. Don't start your own conversations." The lucario didn't say a thing. "Weren't you the one who thought me SMI a few days ago?"
"Sure. I didn't say I would adhere to it, though." He swiveled his chair to face me. "You've got my attention." He took the SAW hanging on the wall, and pointed it at me. I shifted nervously.
"Eh...I'm not too sure that's such a good idea..."I started. The lucario pulled the trigger, and I closed my eyes as a loud bang resonated around the room, de-nerving even Alyss, who jumped. "Never never never ever never ever do that again..." The bullet ricocheted off my horn. I whined softly. My two edged tail swished from left to right. This was a leftover from the time I spent in my other forms without switching back. I placed a pink-purple hand down my face, feeling my velvety fur caress against my skin. Fortunately, I had changed back before the change spread past my hands. "You never did find a cure for this...did you, lucario."
"Well...things got out of hand..." He walked over to the monitoring screen, and turned it on for a moment. "Anyway, a war is gonna occur soon. I need to get him ready for the battle.... Everything that happened inside the house was almost executed to plan...but there were some fun moments...mostly involving Sylvain...after all..." He smiled as he watched me suck Sylvain's cock on the screen. I blushed a little. "Ysitri wants to test you..." He changed the subject. "Be a nice boy and go to the forest about three kilometers north of here. This will be your last assigned mission for a long time." I stared coldly at him.
"You were responsible for all this? My Adelina? All the sex that went on in my house?" I looked at him, almost crying. "Even how I am now?" I felt like beating him up right now.
"Shut your yap." The lucario snapped me into my senses. "You have six ridiculously powerful pokémon to play with and you're not happy?" I looked at him, confused.
"They look normal..." I looked at him, confused.
"DO I have to do everything...gods..." He snatched one of my pokéballs, rammed it hard against the floor, releasing Espira. "Look." He threw something glinting at me, and I wrapped my tail around it. Picking it, I saw that it was a moon stone. I looked at him questioningly. He aimed the SAW he was carrying, and loosed 6 rounds at Espira. Espira yelled in pain, and I stared in horror. It was like time had stopped when she hit the floor. It looked like there were some bullets inside the SAW.
"Noooo! What the fuck are you doing?" I yelled at him, moving over to Espira, who was writhing on the floor. "You can't just shoot a pokémon!" Placing a hand on her chest, I was relieved to feel her heartbeat. Espira was barely breathing on the floor. She looked at me and smiled.
"Yeah...you've really gone overboard this time." Alyss pulled out the flute from the custom scabbard on his left side of his jeans, and started to blow a soothing tune. "I'll keep her for as long as possible..." Thanking him, I grasped the moon stone tightly, crushing it in my grasp. Its power radiated everywhere, and some of the shards landed on Espira's wounds, making her scream at first before dying down. Alyss's music was getting louder, and I saw him sweating. For the first time in my life, I heard him play offtune. He tried to recover but dropped the flute instead. "Hurry..." He said, worried. Snarling, I raised my splintered fist, feeling it shatter the fragile bonds between dimensions. The lucario looked surprised, before regaining his composure. He called out his mace again, and rammed it into my fist. I felt no pain as the lucario's mace shattered from the force of my impact, surprising him. For the first time in my life, I felt a tingle of fear run down the lucario's spine. My other fist glowed with energy as well, and I sent both fists into his stomach, making the lucario twitch in pain.
"Oh my...damn..." I had broken his last ditch attempt at defense, and his paws were bleeding from the aura shield that he had used. "Not too bad...Kiaace...for someone so distrau-" He never finished his statement.
The concentrated power in my paws fired a beam of pure energy as they touched, sending the lucario hurtling against the wall, his body bleeding and broken. The wall soon collapsed, sending his limp body falling from the building. He had spat blood all over me. I went back to Espira, who was barely conscious. "Are you okay?" I asked. A pain was building in my chest.
"Actua...ly...Kiaace...you'd better bring...yourself...to...a nearby...hospital..." She smiled a weak smile, and winced in agony as her wounds started shrinking. I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Staring in astonishment, I noticed that my chest was bleeding from a graze. I looked questioningly at the lucario, feeling my vision blacking out as my wounds increased in size.
"What..." I screamed as the wounds got larger and started to hurt more. I rolled on the floor for a while, trying to bear the pain. I looked beside me to look at Espira, but she was glowing brightly.
"Your souls are..." That was all I heard before passing out. I didn't kill the lucario.
******
"Well that certainly hurt." Alyss turned around to look for the source of the voice. A black paw grasped the edge, and trembled a little before the lucario's head surfaced. He had climbed up the thirty floors of the head quarters with one hand, the other being fractured. He laid his head on the carpeted floor, panting. He looked at Alyss. "Well?" He barked. "Help me up!"
Alyss, complying, pulled the lucario onto the floor by his shoulders. He played his melody once more, and three sighs were heard as the wounds started healing. When he was done, Alyss looked at Kiaace's body in shock. The healing melody did not work on him.
"He's too infused with energy for my melody to work..." Alyss sighed. The lucario looked at Alyss.
"While we're bringing him to the hospital, we need to
have a long talk..." The lucario carried Kiaace's body with his hands. "First time you've played off tune...in twenty years." He started to walk.
"Just too tired...I guess..."
******
The lucario was looking coldly at me when I woke up. The wafts of antiseptic filled my nostrils, and my surroundings were so white they looked bleached. I was in a hospital ward.
"Damned...that stung..." I tried to get up from the bed, but struggled in agony before settling down again. There was no way I could get up. Lying down on the bed, I continued. "What were you talking about souls and that crap...you know...before I passed out." The lucario contemplated his choices on his paws for a while.
"Before wound transfer can occur, your souls must be interlinked first." The lucario finally decided. "That only means tha-" Alyss stopped him.
"That you're in love with Espira and she's in love with you." Alyss finished. "Your soul doesn't lie to anyone." Alyss looked dreamily in the sky. "How romantic..." I stared in disbelief.
"That...can't be...I only love Adelina...wow...you've gotten heavier, Espira." I stuttered. Espira leapt onto my belly, and pawed at it playfully.
"Well...if that is true then too bad..." She looked disappointed. Her three pronged tail caressed my furry hand. Wait. Three?
"Why do you have three prongs on your tail now? Espeon's don't have three-pronged tails?" She looked at me and giggled.
"Whoever said I was an espeon?" She smiled. "I'm an esrayne now." She leapt off the bed. I noticed that she was considerably taller than before, and more muscular too.
"Esrayne?" I was confused. "What's that?" Alyss walked over to my side.
"You made Espira evolve another level...into an esrayne." He smiled. "By the way...like the name?" The lucario walked over and slapped me on my cheek hard.
"Fucking bitch." He slapped me again. "Went to fuck with two guys as a girl...did you?" He slapped me again, and punched my privates. I screamed in pain and anger. "Went to fuck Fira, did we?" I was getting angry.
"Screw you!" I lifted my fist again, and smashed it into something hard on the bed. I yelled in pain as my furry paw was still wounded, when I felt it becoming warmer. Snarling again, the hospital sheets caught fire. The lucario fired a weak water pulse to douse the flames. "You leave my relationship alone! It was you who sent Sylvain in with that liquid anyway!" I hit him with a burning fist, and he smiled.
"Déj� vu...you do seem to have a flair for ostentatious attacks. " The lucario smiled. I found that strange, only to see that the lucario had caught my hand this time. "Did you really think I'd have no plans before hand? You sent me hurtling down thirty stories and broke my arm. I used water pulse to warm up my water manipulation. And as we all know..." He relaxed and placed my hand on Fira's mane. "Now let's see if you fucked her enough to make you fall in love with her..." Alyss and I both stared at him.
"You could always say it a better way...lucario..." Alyss was shocked.
"You're right...sorry I was so harsh on you..." He threw his hands down in frustration. "I'm...just bothered lately...with all this...and the Destroyers...and we all are lacking sleep. Personally, I haven't slept in a week...and Aylss here's back by about three days. Just to look for Adelina." I stopped him.
"Who are the Destroyers? They sound bad. And why do you care so much about Adelina?"
"Well, they're good guys. But they are more direct and cold blooded in their methods, even more so than me." He sighed. "And Ysitri just cares about fighting..." He recovered from his momentary breakdown. "So..." His voice returning to normal. "Since you're okay now...why not go with Alyss to the Forest of Beginnings?" He placed a paw on his mouth.
"Where's that..." I asked him. The lucario sighed.
"I was careless...let me explain this to you. The Forest of Beginnings is a tear in the dimension. Much like the ones you like to cause so much..." I shrugged. "Anyway, you made that place unstable the last time you made a big gaping hole in the earth's crust, and surprisingly, that place did not collapse into disaster. In fact, you made a dimensional loop that allows limitless space...and we gave it a nice name."
"So there's the problem..." Alyss added. "We were there last time when you and Sylvain and Fira and Espira spent the night together... and because the place is so damn large, we freaking spent so much time fucking looking for your emo girlfriend." He was obviously lacking sleep. For the first time in a few days, I actually felt fortunate.
"Open up. This place is private. Can't get over her...can you Kiaace? You seem to be discontent. And on the brink of mental collapse..." He added as a joke. Walking over to the door, he pushed it shut with a paw.
"Well...yeah..." I started. The lucario sneered.
"Heh. I always knew you were emotionally weak." The lucario sat down on his recliner and started lounging about. He turned to face the window, looking at the sun shining brightly through it.
"Stop it lucario! Please don't tease me anymore.

I nearly broke down in front of him, trying my best to hold my tears back. The lucario didn't reply. "Can you at least look at me when I speak, you stuck up, pompous ass?" I almost felt like hitting him. He raised his paws and stretched in the chair.
"So...you don't have faith in the others then. Orland, Alyss, Alyssa...do you really believe that we have no ability to find her? You already know how powerful we are. And our powers. Do you still believe we can't find her?" Alyss, yawning, walked into the room.
"Morning lucario..." He yawned again. "Hi Kiaace..." He seemed lethargic these days.
"Hi Alyss..." The lucario mumbled. "Today, I want you to follow Kiaace to meet Ashen and Mike." Alyss looked at the lucario.
