I awoke with a jump and a weak little squeak, startled by what was happening in my dream. After looking around quickly, alarmed, I finally realize that I'm still back in Sally's den, Sally beginning to stir in my arms. I could feel that my fur was wet with sweat, and I was panting hard, shaking a little now and then. I try to snap out of it, blinking rapidly a few times, trying to rouse myself completely out of sleep.

"You okay, hun?" Sally turns a little to ask. Her back was still to my furry chest, as my own back was on the soft moss bedding.

I nod a few times, slowly, looking at her. Memories came back from last night, and I remembered what I did to her. I blushed heavily, realizing I was still in the same position as last night, and I was still inside of her. I winced at my carelessness, but still gave her a loving lick over her lips, kissing her affectionately. I don't even know how I could even begin to simply betray Kristen like this, and it made me really angry at myself.

She smiled and licked me back. "Well, I'm going to go and get breakfast ready and wake Penn up. Why don't you go around the back of the house? I've got a little pond where you can wash up." She says, before wiggling her bottom, prompting me to roll over so she can get off of me. My eyes fluttered ever so gently as I pulled out of her, my member quickly returning to it's sheath. She then stood up, only to vanish behind the moss curtain covering the door.

I sit up from the fluffy bed, trying to wake myself up fully. I groom myself a little, straightening out my ruffled fur, and cleaning up any leftover juices from last night, before standing up to walk out to the back. The sun was just starting to rise as I located the pond that Sally spoke of, lowering myself into the chilly water. However cold it was, it did an excellent job of waking me up.

Once I was fully submerged, the top half of my head only visible in the water, I closed my eyes. Once I felt mentally awake, I focused on making my vents warmer and warmer, until they were superheated. The only factor that kept them from instantly exploding into fire was the water surrounding them. I felt the water boil behind me, eventually heating the water around me, essentially turning the entire pond into a hot-tub. I grinned at my own useful abilities, basking in the boiling water.

I grinned even wider as I noticed I was getting a little aroused by the hot water, the warmth surrounding my wet sheath and sac. Relaxing in the soothing heat, I gave my own sheath a few light strokes with my paw, shivering and sighing quietly as I rubbed it. I kept my eyes closed, not needing to use them to know that my member was growing quickly. I was amazed at how good the warmth felt on it, doing a good job of simulating the familiar feeling of being lodged deep inside a female's depths.

As it was almost fully extended from my tan pouch, I opened my eyes just a crack to see a small layer of steam covering the entire surface area of the pond. Sliding a little deeper into the hot water, I realized I could not be seen if one were to stand at the water's edge. I smiled contently as I knew I had full privacy to my task. I wrapped both of my paws around my hot member, giving a few gentle strokes and taking my time. I hadn't taken notice before of how red my cock was, the heat causing the blood inside to swell, only engorging my member's size more and more. I could barely wrap my own paws around the abnormally thick rod, as I gave it a few more pumps.

I licked my lips, smiling mischievously as I took advantage of the privacy. I took a deep breath, holding it in my large lungs, before dunking my entire head under the water. I used my flexibility to coil up as tightly as I could, almost folding my lithe body in half. Knowing I didn't have much time before I had to surface, I went right to work, taking my own member into my mouth. I murred as I sucked myself off, the pre that hadn't already been washed away by the water flowing into my maw. I thought I could taste a little bit of Sally, after having been inside her all night.

The whole rod in my mouth, poking down my throat, I took the chance to lick inside the folds and crevices of my fleshy sheath, after having forgotten how good it felt. I could definitely taste Sally, some of her dried juices preserved in my pouch, as I licked it up. Focusing on my member again, I suckled and nursed on the tip of it, the thought of needing the sweet precum to survive turning me on to no end. I moaned as my cock throbbed in my tight maw, and I truly was surprised by how much bigger it felt due to the warmth.

I stopped for a little while, bringing my head off of my member. I tilted my head to the surface, and let my nose stick up out of the water. I let out my held breath, my chest rising and falling a few times. I kept a paw on my cock, slowly stroking it up and down as I caught my breath, and keeping myself on the edge of orgasm. I had to stop a few times, otherwise I would have quickly came. I took another deep breath, filling my lungs with air as I re-submerged into the hot water.

Not wasting another moment to taste my own cum, I lowered my hungry mouth back onto my twitching penis, moaning in pleasure as I sucked on it. I fought back the impulse to gag as my hips gave a few involuntary thrusts, pushing it further into my mouth and down my throat. My mind eventually just gave into the natural instinct, and thrusted into it wildly, treating it not as a mouth, but as a female reproductive tract. I humped into my maw, my lips tight around it as I felt my climax just around the corner. As I pumped into myself, my nose continuously bumped at my wet, furry sac, pushing the tender orbs inside every which way as it was kneaded. The burning in my loins told me it was time to cum, as I sucked as hard as I could on my member.

I closed my eyes, moaning loudly underwater as I came hard into my starving mouth, my hips humping crazily. My member filled up every last part of my already full mouth with hot, sticky, male Typhlosion cum. I hardly took notice at how much more there was then usual, too absorbed in my own personal pleasure. There was always more cum then normal when I sucked myself off, as I knew from past experience. I practically screamed under the water as I continued to cum, the thick, gooey fluid still flowing into my mouth. I made room for the fresh seed, swallowing any of it that had been in my mouth, and sending it to my ready stomach.

I sighed as I gave a few more pumps into my cum soaked mouth, basking in the afterglow of my orgasm. A couple final spurts of delicious seed leaked into my mouth, only to be quickly swallowed. I almost had a full feeling, having swallowed the bulk of my own seed. My eyes shot open as I realized my chest was close to bursting, swelled full of air. My head broke the surface, as I gasped for air, the taste of seed still strong in my mouth. Panting, I watched my member return to it's sheath, a string of cum still hanging out of the tip. As my breathing returned to normal, I laid my head back, still absorbed in my afterglow to worry about anything else.

Then, without warning,, a massive pillar of water shot out of the pond. The water circled around and around as it grew taller, and I thought I could make out a very faint form inside the center of it. The spout of water stretched many feet in height, and I was mystified by how it kept it's tight formation. Just when I thought it couldn't get any taller, the form hanging inside of it extended it's arms suddenly, causing the pillar to explode, bursting outwards in a spectacular blue mist.. I shielded my eyes from the mist,, not knowing what t expect to happen next. As I felt tiny droplets of water cover my fur as they rained down, I opened my eyes to see Penn hovering in mid-air, right where the tube of water was a few seconds ago.

"P-Penn!" I exclaimed in surprise, marveling at how long he must have held his breath underwater. My cheeks were kit up with red blush, not knowing if he had seen anything or not. Luckily the hot water made my face red anyways, masking my embarrassment.

"Oh, good morning, Alex..." He said, smiling kindly. He darted over to the shore, his bug wings flapping faster then I could see, as he landed without a sound.

"Uh... Penn? How long were you down there?" I asked, a slight waver in my voice.

"About a good hour or so..." He spoke quietly, watching the steam continue to rise from the water.

"A-An hour?!?" I asked in disbelief. "How did you stay under for an hour?"

"Meditation. I can lay dormant without oxygen for about 5 hours. I would have stayed underwater longer, but things started getting a little... Warm..."

"Oh, uh, sorry about that," I apologized, scratching the back of my head. "Just trying to make things a little more relaxing..."

"I agree with you, it was quite soothing, but then it got too hot."

I was suddenly aware of the fact that my vents were smoldering, brightly glowing a red hue. I quickly cooled them down a little, realizing that the temperature could have risen due to my orgasm,, a natural reaction.

Double checking that my member was safely hidden away, I stepped out of the water, my fiery collar bursting into flames as soon as it made contact with oxygen to burn.

"Ah, so that's how you did it... Your vents..." Penn said, intrigued by the sheer temperature at which I could make them. "Tell me, Alex... How hot can you heat your body?"

"Actually Penn, I haven't ever tested my body's abilities to that level." I said quietly, a slight shiver coursing through my body despite the current heat.

"Really? You've never gotten curious as to just how powerful you are?"

"Well... Once... One day, when I was only a Quilava... I wondered how hot I could make myself. So I tried. I only remember a little bit, but I do remember fire, fire everywhere..." I closed my eyes, thinking back. "Then I think I passed out."

I wasn't too fond of this memory, mostly because I was scolded furiously by my Mother and Father. I was given a lengthy lecture, how I should never, ever, use my abilities in this way, and was reminded that fire burns things, like forests, and other Pokemon.

"I can tell you have a lot of potential, Alex... I knew from the very moment you burned me. I could... " Penn sighed, closing his eyes. "It's very difficult to explain, but I could just feel it."

I didn't know what to say to this. Was there something that made me different from other Typhlosions? Was I more powerful? And how could Penn tell? To be honest, I've never really felt like I was any different at all.

"But Alex, your elders are absolutely correct. You must never use your powers to a degree that would put your friends in danger, not to mention yourself. Only under the most dire of situations should you even consider utilizing it..." He said that last sentence while looking me right in the eyes, a very serious expression planted on his face.

"Do you understand?" He asked quietly.

I looked right back into his eyes, looking straight into their depths. "Yes Penn. Yes, I understand."

"Good. Tell Sally I'll be back shortly, I need to sharpen my blades just incase we meet any trouble on the way to find Kristen, Arceus forbid we do."

I nodded, watching him kick up from the ground, before flying off. I watched him disappear before turning around to head back to the den, still thinking about what he said. I didn't know what he meant about dire, but by the way he looked at me, he must have meant as a final, last resort. I didn't even like thinking about when that time might be.

"There you are, Alex!" Sally said as I walked inside. "I assume Penn was outside as well?"

I jumped at the sound of her voice, as I was still deep in my thoughts. "Yes, he was out there. He said he had to go and sharpen his blades for the trip."

"Ah, he could be a little while then..." she replied, walking up to me. "We could have some fun while he's gone, you know..."she whispered seductively. Without another word, she reached a paw down and began to grope at my tan sheath.

"No, Sally, I can't... It's not right." I said simply, pushing her away with a fair bit of force. "Last night was a mistake, I'm not about ready to let it happen again." I told her firmly.

"Aww, come on Alex..." she whispered needfully, turning around and exposing herself to me.

"No, I won't Sally. What happened last night wasn't right, I shouldn't have mated you." I told her, averting my eyes from her spread slit. I was sure to breath through my mouth, I didn't want any pheromones to influence me.

"You're no fun at all..." she whimpered, pouting. Giving one last try, she jumped at me, wrapped her paws around my hips, and began to lick and suckle on my pouch, trying to coax my member out. She turned her head every so often as she licked at different angles, all over my sheath.

"Uuhg... Sally, stop it..." I moaned, closing my eyes. I didn't need to use my eyes to know that she just took my tip into her warm, wet mouth.

"Stop..." I continued to say, as I slowly stepped backwards into the den wall, Sally still clinging tightly to my waist. I wouldn't let this happen, no matter what, I thought as I growled in response to Sally's sucking. I tried to push her off, but the harder I tried, the tighter she held on. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes as I shook my head slowly, telling her no over and over. She didn't listen to a word of it, as I watched her take my length into her mouth, just like the night before.

"S-Sally..."I whispered, my eyes wet with tears.

"Sally." I said, a little louder, trying to sound as confident as possible. She still didn't respond, she just kept bobbing on my shaft, mumbling and murring. I finally snapped.

"SALLY!" I roared, my vents bursting into flames out of anger, and out of surprise of the volume of my own yelling. I stood up straight, tearing her off of my body, and tossing her roughly to the side.

"I SAID STOP!" I roared at her, as she sat up from the floor. Her bottom lip quivered lightly, I raised a paw in rage, causing her to cringe and whimper, waiting for the impact to come. But it never did.

I was about to strike her, when I let out a yelp of surprise. What was I doing?!? This... this wasn't me! I was about to hit her, about to hit Sally! I dropped to my belly, sobbing in shock of what I had become.

"Sally... I'm so... so sorry... " I cried, crumpled in a pathetic little pile on the ground. I was embarrassed to even show my face to her, as I continued to cry.

"Alex... Don't be sorry..." she whispered. She had crawled over to me, and taken my head on her lap. "I'm the one who should be sorry."

I opened my eyes to see her above me, crying as well. She traced a paw over my head, between my ears, relaxing me a little.

"Alex, I'm sorry this happened... I won't ever do this to you again, I promise." she whispered quietly, sniffling softly.

"It's... It's ok, Sally..."

She gave me a lick on the cheek before standing up once more, straightening out her ruffled fur. "I'm sorry about last night, too... I thought it would help you a little."

"I didn't say it wasn't fun, Sally... It was really fun. But I just don't feel that way about you." I told her, standing back up as well. I quickly dried my tears, before straightening out the fur around my sheath, which was currently matted with her saliva.

"Well, Penn should be back soon..." Sally told me, reaching into a stash in a wall, and setting a couple of bunches of berries on the table. "We can start eating now."

I smiled at Sally's ability to still be kind to me after what just happened, as I took a seat to begin eating. Sally sat down as well, taking a bite out of a berry happily. I had only taken a couple of bites when Penn walked inside. He hadn't even sat down, before looking at Sally with disappointment.

"Sally, you didn't...." he said, looking between her and I. "He already has a mate, you know."

Sally simply sighed, looking a little sad. "Yes, yes I know Penn.... I just thought it would help him."

I for one, couldn't figure out how Penn had detected any remnants of our love making.. I finally decided that he had one of the keenest noses I had ever seen. I was blushing with embarrassment as Penn continued to sniff, sitting down.

"Oh, and a little more this morning then, hm?" he asked, looking up and down my body, a little amused.

"I stopped her before things got too far..." I simply said, taking another bite.

"Good for you Alex. Self control is an important skill to learn." he told me,, before quickly glaring at Sally.

I nodded, quickly returning to my eating, wanting to be done and out of the den as fast as possible. Both of them seemed to get the message, as they focused on eating as well.

Once we were all done, Sally and I said our goodbyes, standing at the entrance to her home.

"I'm going to miss you, Alex..." she whispered, her paws wrapped around me in a final hug.

"I'm sure we'll see each other again someday." I told her, giving her a lick on the cheek.

We said goodbye one last time before I turned around, Penn taking the lead. It felt so good to be moving again, getting ever closer to Kristen. God I hope she's ok...

--------------------

Another blast of fire hit the wall of the cave, as I readied myself to blast it again, in a weak attempt to vent my anger and sadness. I screamed out in anger as the cave was illuminated with bright, hot fire, scorching the stone wall, leaving a black burn mark. I collapsed to the floor, whining and crying as I wheezed painfully, my throat raw. I hadn't stopped crying, not for a second. I hadn't slept, ate. or drank anything since I left him.

"Alex..." I wept, tears leaking from my closed eyes. I miss him so much.... But it was for the best. He didn't need to go through this with me. He didn't need to be a father. I'll find some way to raise the pups myself, I thought, tracing a paw over my soon to be bulging tummy. Maybe someday I'll visit him, but for now I need to stay away from him. Far far away.

Wait, what was I thinking?!? I can't go back and visit him! By that time, he would have already found a mate, and have his own family. I let out a long whimper, wallowing in anguish. The seemingly harmless and weak whimper grew louder in my throat, slowly turning into a blood-curdling scream of rage, that would make even the largest of Pokemon cover their ears in pain. I sprung back onto my paws, feeling my chest grow warm as I unleashed a huge stream of fire onto the cave wall again.

Once I ran out of breath, I walked towards the entrance of the cave, sobbing and crying. I looked at the sun in disgust, as it tried to brighten the gloomy, depressing day, Very carefully, I walked right to the edge of the cliff to where this little cave was nestled, taking a deep breath as I peered over the edge. My legs nearly buckled due to the dizzying height of the falls. No, Alex won't find me here. There's no possible way he would scale the entire rock-face like I did. He wouldn't take the chance of climbing all the way up the treacherous path to maybe not find me at all. I stood right on the edge, peering down hundreds of feet to the rocky, turbulent rapids below. I could pick out at least twenty jagged rocks jutting out of the white water, even through my red, tear soaked eyes.

"One step..." I whispered to myself, my eyes glued to the water. "One step is all it would take..." I watched a single tear drop fall from my cheek, plummeting down into the raging water far below me.

I could end it, right here, right now. It would be over, forever. No one would miss me.

No one.

I took a deep breath as I built my courage, readying to throw myself down to certain death. I slowly counted down from ten, realizing these would be the last ten seconds of life I'll ever see again.

Ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two......

"One." I whispered, my eyes squeezing shut tightly.

****************

"Ok Alex, we're here," Penn said, using his scythes to gesture towards the roaring waterfalls we had been walking so long to find.

We walked a few more steps, until the waterfalls were revealed, sparkling and shining in the sunlight. I had no idea that they could be so massive, so huge. It was hardly just a waterfall, it was more like a connected system of waterfalls. There were too many to count as I saw that all the mini waterfalls branched off from one main fall, up at the very top of the cliff.

I had also thought that the place would be pretty deserted and desolate. Once again, I was wrong, as I could pick out many Pokemon of all different types darting across cliff paths, scurrying in and out of the caves, and even bathing in some of the pools that formed on the way down. I continued to marvel at the sheer size of the landform, gazing all the way up.

"I told you we had our work cut out for us," Penn smiled nudging me gently on the shoulder. "Come on, she's got to be here somewhere. I'll start at the top, and work my way down to the middle. You do the same, starting from the bottom. If you find her, send a flamethrower out over the cliff. If I find her, I'll simply fly out and scream for you, okay?"

"Okay Penn." I replied, remembering everything he told me.

"Good. Best of luck, friend." he says, smiling before he flies straight up, heading towards the peak.

I decided to get right to work, and start the search off right. I took in as much air as I could, before yelling as loudly as I could.

"KRISTEN!" I yelled, aiming my voice up near the center.

As the sound echoed through the cliffs and caves,my ears twitched and rang. A nearby Larvitar, a young one at that, looked up at me in amazement.

"Wow! I wish I could yell that loud!" he exclaimed, grinning widely.

I smiled kindly, chuckling lightly.

"Mr. Typhlosion? Who's Kristen?" he asks curiously, in his high, squeaky voice, holding a single green paw to his mouth in curiosity.

"Kristen... Kristen is the one I love..." I told him simply, scanning the cliff-side.

"Eww..." he responded, grinning. "Is she a Typhlosion like you?"

"Yes... Yes she is as a matter of fact." I said, looking down at him. "You wouldn't have happened to have seen her, would you?"

"Umm..." he thought, scratching his green head. "Is Kristen sad?"

"Yeah, she probably is..." I told him sadly. "She's probably very sad."

"I remember seeing a Typhlosion run through here a few days ago... And she was crying... I felt sorry for her."

"Really?" I asked him, unable to believe that this could possibly be her. "Which way did she go?"

"She umm... She headed up there..." he raised a tiny paw, pointing towards a trail that most likely winded up and up through the falls. "I'm not allowed to go up there. Mommy says it's too dangerous..."

"Thank you so much! You've been a great help, you know." I grinned, giving him a pat on the head.

"Anytime, Mr. Typhlosion!" he giggled as I patted him.

"Goodbye!" I smiled, before running up the trail he pointed at.

"Good luck!" he waved after me.

*************

"One." I whispered, my eyes squeezing shut tightly, my legs flexing in preparation to jump.

"KRISTEN!"

I nearly screamed in surprise, falling backwards and away from the ledge. After taking five seconds to lay there, frozen in fear I buried my face in my paws, sobbing at what I had almost done to myself. I almost did it! I almost killed myself!

I shuffled back to the drop-off, peering down again to see that off to the side of the water I would have died in, a speck of tan and dark blue fur. I tried to focus my eyes on the far away dot, and discovered that it was a Typhlosion.

It... It was Alex!

I almost called back to him, I almost called back to the wonderful voice I knew belonged to Alex. I stopped myself, knowing I had to remain hidden from him. It was best that I just stayed out of his life, forever.

I sighed sadly, watching him converse with what appeared to be a much tinier green dot. I couldn't hear anything they were saying, but I did see a small paw jut out from it's form, appearing to point to the very trail I had taken to get up here in the first place. The dot was giving him directions! Directions to me!

I cried softly as I saw him take off, sprinting up the path, making his way towards me. Sobbing more, I walked back into the cave I had claimed, padding into the darkest depths of it. If he didn't find me, great. If he does... I don't even know what will happen...

**************

Penn was starting to lose hope. He had searched at least thirty caves, all of which were occupied by various families of Pokemon, who weren't exactly pleased that a random Scyther had poked his head in to ask if they knew a Typhlosion named Kristen. But he knew he had to stay strong, he had to stay strong for Alex. There weren't many caves to go now, he knew for sure. With all of the caves both him and Alex were searching, they would find her in no time at all, hopefully before anything bad happened. Penn didn't like to think about the possibility that another Pokemon reached her first, much like the Mankey, but more of a threat.

"Hello? Is Kristen in here?" Penn yelled inside a cave, listening to his voice echo throughout it's dark depths. Several low growls were emitted from somewhere within, which Penn automatically took as a no to his question. He went over to to the next hole in the cliff, asking the same question to whoever inhabited this one.

"Excuse me? Could you tell me if Kristen is in here?"

"Kristen? I don't know any Kristen..." a low voice answered. "Hmm... Who is she?"

"Kristen is a Typhlosion." Penn told him, hoping he could give him some sort of a clue as to where she is.

"A Typhlosion... That would make sense. Seems that there's a Typhlosion just below this cave."

"What? Really?" Penn asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, she's been screaming and spouting fire all night and all day long. I'd watch yourself if you're planning to find her."

"Thank you very much!" Penn replied, getting ready to fly down to fly down to the next rock shelf.

"Just..." the voice yawned. "Just get her to be quiet so I can get some sleep..."

Without another word, the Scyther flew down a short distance, landing right in the center of the cave Kristen was supposed to be in. Right away, he noticed the dark scorch marks of fire-on-rock. The black burns were almost as dark as the drowning darkness that existed inside the cave he was peering into. Just outside the cave, he could make out signs of a prolonged stay. Shed fur, claw marks, and other clues led Penn to believe that there was was definitely a Pokemon taking up residence in this very cavern.

Penn was almost tempted to start calling for Alex, but thought better of it. This might be his only chance to get through to Kristen, maybe convince her to return right off the bat.

"Uhm... Kristen?" Penn called out nervously.

"Wha-?! Who's there?" a surprised, female voice answered him.

"My name's P-Penn..." he said, a slight waver in his voice, one of which he quickly cleared. "Are you Kristen?"

"Who wants to know?"

"Alex does. He's here and he's looking for you."

A deep scowl rose from the depths of the cave. "Alex?!? Tell him to go get his nose caught in a Shellder! I don't want to see him!"

"Please Kristen, he just wants to talk to you. You have no idea how much he loves you!" Penn said, pleading with her to give the poor guy a chance.

When Penn didn't hear an answer from inside the cave, he turned around.

"I'll be right back!" he yelled back at her, before taking off down the cliff side, screaming Alex's name over and over. Soon, a blast of fire straight into the sky caught Penn's sharp eyes, prompting him to set down right next to Alex.

"Alex! I found her!" Penn immediately exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.

"Y-You DID?" Alex asked in amazement, looking eagerly up at the surrounding cliffside.

"Alex? How much do you trust me?" Penn asked, looking up as well at the caves that dotted the ridge.

"Well, you're a great friend, Penn. I mean, you've helped me--"

Cutting Alex off mid-sentence, Penn sprang forward, catching Alex off-guard as he wrapped his scythes around his chest from behind. They immediately sprang up into the air, flying fast towards the cave. After Alex stopped shaking, he managed to yell over the sound of Penn's beating wings and the air rushing past his ears.

"Penn! This is amazing!" He cried out gleefully as he experienced flight for the first time in his life. He looked down, watching his feet dangle above the ground below, and let out a gasp as he noticed just how high they were.

No sooner had he started to get used to it, they had reached their destination. Alex's legs were still shivering as they were set back on the ground, his heart rate through the roof.

"Alex, she's in here..." Penn said, gesturing with his sharp scythes for Alex to go first. With a deep gulp, Alex walked into the swallowing darkness, Penn close behind him.

****************

My heart still beating fast from the adrenaline rush of flying, I took a few shaky steps into the darkness. Penn was behind me, peeking around every so often as we walked forward. After walking in about 10 paces, I stopped and looked around nervously.

"K... K-Kristen?" I asked, shivering a little.

A light scuffling sound could be heard, not too far away from my feet. I jumped back a little in surprise, stifling a yelp. I sighed sadly, realizing that this was silly, and that I really shouldn't be afraid of her. With a stronger tone in my voice, I called out once more.

"Kristen? Are you in here?"

I didn't get an answer. Instead, I got a blast of scorching hot fire. The fire seemed to materialize out of thin air, and illuminated the entire cave brightly. I unfortunately couldn't get a good glimpse of whoever it came from, but as the fire wrapped around my fur, enveloping me in heat, I knew it was Kristen's. I looked behind me, watching Penn stay securely behind me, using me as a fire-proof shield. He looked up at me, a grim look on his face. I nodded slowly, sighing and remaining calm.

Just as fast as it had blasted me, it disappeared, the licks of fire violently twisting away in a brilliant shower of orange and red. I looked back to make sure that Penn was alright, and he nodded.

"Kristen... I need you to come out here... Please..." I said quietly, tears welling up in my eyes.

To my surprise, she listened to me. I heard a long and depressed sigh, followed by footsteps echoing off of the jagged walls. I heard a slight intake of air, and a small jet of fire being blown into the air. The small stream of fire was a bright blue, and lit her face for a few seconds before flickering and dying. Slowly, Kristen appeared through the darkness. She looked... Terrible, to put it simply. Her fur was ruffled and in a state of disarray, most of it being matted and dry. Her usually bright and healthy fur had faded to a dull shade, her tan underbelly dirty and unkempt.

The fur around her eyes was more or less the same, except it was damp and wet with her tears. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, indicating she had indeed been crying, but also showing she hadn't slept for a while. Ears flat to her head, she walked closer to me, not meeting my eyes. I took a few tender steps toward her myself, Penn staying back for now. Once we were practically nose to nose, I wept quietly.

"Kristen..." I whispered, before wrapping my paws around her in a tight embrace, giving her a few loving licks up her neck.

She still didn't look at me, looking at the floor instead. I could hear a small whimper in her throat, as she slowly began to return the licks, sobbing a little.

"I missed you so much, Kristen..." I whispered in her ear, hugging her close to me as I licked over her dry lips. I eventually turned the gentle licks into kisses, pulling and tugging her lips to show my affection.

"Well... I missed you too, Alex..." she finally said quietly, letting out a depressed sigh. I moved my head, moving my eyes right in front of hers, and gazed deep into her perfect green eyes. She finally looked back into mine, smiling weakly.

"I have a lot of things to tell you, Kristen..." I said, laying down on my tummy. She did so as well, laying so that we were face to face.

"Umm... Where to start..."

I began to tell her everything that had happened when she left. I told her how my life fell apart, and I shuddered as I told her my past thoughts of suicide. I told her everything up until being invited into Sally's den, but I had a sneaking suspicion she had a hunch of what had happened. I continued on, purposely leaving out the part when I found out the truth about the berries.

She listened contently the entire time, watching me with her pretty eyes, and nuzzling against my cheek every so often.

"And Kristen... About... About the berries..." I took a deep gulp, getting ready to tell her the good news, but she interrupted me.

"Alex, I know that you and I can raise this Cyndaquil together. If we try hard as parents, we'll do wonderfully. I've been thinking a lot about it recently..." she told me, looking down at her tummy.

"But Kristen! The berry... It has special properties! It allows Pokemon to mate, without having any young to worry about later! Isn't that great?" I exclaimed, nuzzling and licking her neck.

"It's true, he's not lying!" Penn yelled from outside the cave, as he sat and looked out over the orange, setting sun, which just happened to be directly centered in the cave's entrance.

A few seconds went by, as I licked at her neck lovingly, as if in celebration. I soon stopped, backing my head away from her to see why she wasn't as happy as I was. She didn't appear to be happy at all! She was just kind of staring, with a confused look on her face.

"Kristen? Are you ok?" I asked worriedly. Was she sick? Oh no... What if she was hurt?

"Y... Yes, I'm ok..." she responded quietly. She looked away sadly, nuzzling into my fur.

"I thought you'd be happy... " I said, still not convinced she was fine. "What's wrong?"

"Well... to be honest, Alex..." she slowly whispered. "I was kind of... looking forward to being a mother." She blushed sheepishly, burying her face into my neck.

"Aww... Don't cry, Kristen..." I said, feeling my neck grow wet. "We have all the time in the world to have a little Cyndaquil. We can be together..." I took a deep breath, readying myself to say what I wanted to. "...We can be mates..."

Her slight weeping almost instantly stopped at these words. My cheeks were beet red with blush, as I waited for her response.

"A... Alex? Are... Are you asking me to... b-be your m-mate?" she asked, pulling back from my neck so that we were face to face. She still looked confused, almost like she thought it was a dream.

"Yes! Yes I am, Kristen!" My heart fluttered in my chest, beating at what seemed triple the normal speed. "Kristen, will you be my mate?" I asked, grinning and looking deeply into her eyes.

After what seemed like minutes of me holding my breath, waiting for her response, she finally looked at me, smiling and nodding.

"Yes Alex! I would love nothing more in this world then to be your mate! I love you Alex!" she cried, weeping again, tears of joy rolling down her tan cheeks.

"I love you too, Kristen! I love you more then anything in this entire world!" I said happily, licking her lips, before gradually moving into a deep kiss. She moved closer, pressing her body tightly to mine, kissing back lovingly.

After several minutes of licking and kissing Kristen, my mate in life, I blushed when I noticed Penn was standing at the door to the cave.

"Hehe, it's good to see you two together." he said, smiling. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I can't help but notice it's getting quite late. I'll go find a cave for myself, how about you two stay here for the night?"

I was about to protest to Penn, telling him to stay, and that it was really no trouble. But then I grinned widely, having caught a little wink from him as he finished his sentence. Looking at Kristen, who was busy snuggling into my chest, I blushed hard as I understood what Penn was trying to do. I slowly nodded, mouthing the words "Thank-you!".

"See you in the morning, Penn!" I yelled out to him as he left, watching him fly away down the cliff as the sun sank lower and lower over the horizon.

I looked down at Kristen, licking her forehead affectionately as I traced a paw over her body. She giggled sweetly, kissing and nuzzling my chest fur more.

"What now, Alex?" she asked, sighing happily as she leaned against my warm body.

"Well... " I began, the skin under my furry cheeks turning red. "We could always... Make it official..." I grinned, pulling her close to my chest.

I could hear a low pur roll out of her throat, that made me shiver with delight. "I love you, Kristen..."

"I love you too Alex..." she whispered, before turning her head to face mine, kissing me passionately.

I swirled my tongue over hers as we locked lips, my nose pressed into her cheek. I took a deep inhale, taking in the feminine, sweet, and beautiful scent I missed so much. My eyes slowly scanned down her body, loving the way her hips curved delicately. I stroked the back of her head, before carefully breaking the kiss.

"You're so beautiful, Kristen..." I whispered into her ear, petting her soft tummy.

She simply placed a paw on my chest, licking my cheek. I shuffled even closer to her warm body, my paws still petting all over her body. I murred happily as she kissed and licked my chest, her paws stroking my sides now. She moved tighter and tighter to me, until she slid right on top of my tan belly. I smiled, resting my paws on her back, one resting on her rump, the other on the back of her head. She giggled and blushed again, kissing me.

As I felt and groped my away around her behind, I pulled lightly at her fluffy tail-fur, pulling it up in the direction of me. In response, she shuffled a little further up my body, so that her chest was level with my face. I wasted no time in snaking my paws over and under her body, one sliding down her back, the other down her beautiful tummy. She whimpered as I lightly teased her, rubbing my paws just inches away from her moist sex. I smiled playfully, letting my bottom paw drag across her folds, parting them a little. She squeezed her eyes shut, licking the top of my head furiously as she spread her hind legs a little more, keeping the delicate folds open just a crack.

"Mmhn! A-Alex!" she moaned, panting a little as she suckled my ear, her back arching slightly.

I licked and nuzzled her fuzzy chest, focusing on the little nubs of flesh I knew to be her nipples, and hoping that they felt good when they were rubbed. My natural instincts served me right, as I heard a very satisfied wail of bliss echo throughout the cave, which was steadily growing warmer with our increasing body heats.

I didn't let up on my licking, making sure to keep stroking her groin region. When I couldn't bear to hear her needy moans, I let the paw on her rump fall down a little, stroking her slit lightly. Her ears flattened to her head as she groaned in pleasure, her whole body shaking in euphoric bliss. I decided to get right down to business, pushing a digit into her tight, warm, clenching walls. I felt the furry folds part as they wrapped around my paw, trying to pull it deeper into her depths. Licking roughly at her nipples, I thrust the digit in and out at a brisk speed, not denying her of any of the pleasure she deserved as my mate.

She let out a long and sustained moan, that grew from small, pleasured whimpers, to loud and needy groans. I added my other paw to the mix, rubbing her clit

"Gosh... Kristen, you're so... So beautiful..." I whispered to her, driving my paw deeper into her warm depths. I was answered with happy moans and purrs, as she pushed her rear back into my soaked paw.

"A-Alex! I-I'--" She never got to finish her sentence, gasping and panting in orgasmic bliss. Her walls clenched and tightened around my paw, squeezing and pulling it in as she rode out her orgasm. She pushed her body closer to mine, needing to feel me next to her as her juices practically exploded all over my paw and sheath. Slowly shivering, she moved her body down mine a little more, so that we were once again face to face. Without a word, I pressed my lips to hers, savoring the taste of her sweet saliva.

"How was that, love?" I asked her quivering form, drawing my paw out of her drenched pussy. I brought it up to my face, letting a couple of drops fall into my mouth. She blushed and giggled, watching me begin to slurp at my own paw, cleaning her tasty juices from my fur.

"It was wonderful, Alex..." she replied, letting her hind paws drift over my wet sheath. The scent and taste of her was arousing me immensely, and I noticed with a little squeak that my growing cock was pressed right into her slit. She lifted her rear off of it, giggling and licking my chest.

"Not quite yet, Alex..." she giggled, watching my expression of lust turn into one of extreme disappointment. She stood up briefly, turning around so that she was facing my hardening member, and laid back down. Her wet, warm pussy was a few inches away from my face, dripping more of her juice all over my chest and down my sides.

She gave a few long licks up my length, murring contently as she suckled on the side of my shaft. I let out quiet little groans, petting her rump to tell her she was doing a good job, and tracing my paws all down her smooth back. She suckled hard on my sheath, using her warm tongue to lick my tan sac as well. Not being able to stand it anymore, I took hold of her hips, pulling them towards my drooling jaws. Without hesitation, I dug my snout in, the overpowering scent of her pheromones driving me crazy with lustful wanting. Her delicious juices ran freely into my eager mouth, loud slurping noises emerging as her wells squeezed around my tongue and muzzle.

Juices dribbling down my chin, I took a tighter hold of her rump, pulling that wonderful part of her feminine body further down on my hungry mouth. I could never seem to get enough of her intoxicating taste, as I swallowed what ever ran into my maw. Crying out happily, she lowered her own mouth over my now throbbing member, trying to match my oral skills as she moaned around my penis. I gave several thrusts up into her soft tongue, moaning as I felt a spurt of precum shoot from the tip of my dripping cock.

"Aww, you're so cute when you get like this..." she mumbled, giggling as I thrusted into her hot mouth, humping at a good speed.

I used one paw to rub her clitoris quickly, the other to stretch her pink folds out so I could lick the fluid from her more thoroughly. Every time she took all of my cock in her mouth in one thrust, she was pushed back a little, her rear sliding further onto my snout. We rocked back and forth, both of us moaning and growling in lust as I quickly snaked my tongue all around her insides, feeling her smooth walls clench and massage my tongue. Panting hard, she sucked as hard as she possibly could on the very tip of my twitching member, calling out as she came again, her fluid splashing over my face.

With a lustful growl, I quickly hugged her rear to my face, rolling over so that I was on top of her. With a squeak of surprise, Kristen willingly kept her teeth clear as I pumped in and out of her, the position feeling very natural to me. Soon, she began mumbling and moaning again, closing her eyes as I licked her outer lips. Eyes shut tightly, I gave a feral growl as I began to cum, shooting shot after shot of my sticky seed into my mate's mouth. I felt my cum surround my member, which was a sure sign that she was keeping it in her mouth, but I wasn't complaining. The feeling felt very satisfying to me, the gooey fluid coating my sensitive cock, and making me smile happily.

Feeling the last couple seconds of blissful orgasm approaching, I pulled out of her mouth, leaving my twitching cock just inches from her mouth. I could feel her floppy tongue lap quickly at my tip, sending the last couple of shots of my hot cum splattering over her face. Panting and groaning, I let just the tip into her hot mouth, letting her clean and suckle away at any of the cum she may have missed.

"Ahh... K-Kristen..." I mumbled, feeling her nurse on my penis, drinking all of my seed. Once I felt my orgasm slow down, I let my eyes open just a little, smiling drunkenly and enjoying her blowjob. Even after I was clean, she continued to lick, using her paws to hold it steady as she lapped all around it. Once I was certain I was aroused enough that I wouldn't soften when she stopped, I stood up, getting off of her.

With a grin, I bent over and picked her up, cradling her in my strong paws. Standing up straight, I kissed her deeply, taking a few steps backwards into the cave wall. Once my back hit the relatively warm stone, I slid down it so that I was sitting on my rear, Kristen still in my arms.

After more heavenly kissing, I set her on my lap, her back facing me. I leaned my head around over her shoulder, my lips never leaving hers as I felt my member throbbing between my legs. I looked down her beautiful body, watching as she slowly rubbed her own pussy, looking at my cock pulsing a few inches away from it. I pushed her down a little, so that her hot slit was pushing right against my pink shaft, her lips slowly wrapping around it. I slowly humped up, sliding my member against her wet folds, and making her moan as the tip poked at her clit repeatedly.

"Do you want it, Kristy?" I whispered in her ear, teasing her as I let my paws glide against her thighs.

She nodded quickly in response, her eyes closing as she wiggled her hips, trying to get my tip hooked in her tight hole. I held her up, grinning as I made it impossible for that to happen.

"How bad do you want it in you? Come on, show me..." I whispered, grinning as I watched her look in need at my large cock just a few inches from her slit.

"Please Alex... Fuck me... Make me yours..." She cried, whimpering loudly as I held her paws tight to her body, so that she couldn't simply rub herself to orgasm.

"You want to be mine? What do you want to be?" I said, licking her neck as she whimpered in need.

"I want to be your mate! Please! Mate me!" She yelled, her hind legs pawing at the ground on either side of me.

I nipped at her neck, letting her slide down onto my hard cock. I groaned myself, feeling her tight walls wrap around my member, massaging the tip. Kristen tilted her head up to the ceiling, letting a loud moan escape her mouth as she tried to free herself from my strong grasp, to slide down onto my penis by herself.

I grinned, moaning as I let her fall down suddenly, her pussy swallowing more then half my cock quickly. We both cried out in pleasure, the sensation making me hump upwards, pushing the rest of myself into her. We sat for a moment, panting and moaning, before I lifted her up again, leaving the very tip left inside her. I dipped her down a little, pulling back up quickly and making her whimper, half from pleasure, and half from pure annoyance that I wouldn't just mate her.

"I love you so much Kristy..." I moaned, before finally letting her drop down onto me, deciding to stop teasing her, and to make her mine. I grabbed hold of her hips, humping as quickly as I could as she sat on my lap, bouncing up and down.

I felt her depths hug the rather large intruder, tightening around it and trying to make it release it's potent seed. I was sure she was cumming again, as I listened to her loud moans and felt the sudden clenching of her vagina. I knew at this rate I wouldn't last that much longer, and I didn't want it to end quite so soon. I pulled right out of her, letting her lips at least hot-dog around my member as I rested her back on my lap.

"Please Alex! I'm so ready for you..." She whimpered, confused as to why I had stopped. I simply licked her neck, sighing happily as I let myself settle down a little before continuing.

"Get on all fours for me sweety... Present to me, show me you want it in you..." I said, talking dirty to her. She happily agreed, standing up on all fours and taking a step or two away from the spot I was still sitting. I kept my eyes on her, slowly stroking my member to keep myself on edge. She looked over her shoulder, making the sexiest face she could as she spread her legs out, pressing her chest flat to the floor, raising her rear high into the air. It took every ounce of my will power to not simply give in, to mount her and thrust into that cute little pussy of hers.

"Hmm... Tempting... But not quite good enough... You're going to have to try a little harder..." I said, urging her to try a little more. She then began to wiggle her rump, moaning and reaching underneath of herself to put a digit inside of her wet cunt. She pumped it in and out, looking into my eyes as I watched a drop of her juices hit the floor.

I watched as she blew a kiss to me, stretching her pink folds open and revealing the tight hole. I couldn't resist, as I stood up straight on my two hind legs as I walked towards her beautiful, unbelievably sexy body. I grabbed hold of her wide, feminine hips, pulling them back onto my red member, thrusting inside of her with one push. I remained upright, pumping my hips forward into her lovely warmth as she pushed back, wanting to feel my hot cum shoot into her womb.

I let out a little moan as I felt her reach back, using her paws to fondle and grope my balls, bouncing them up and down as she caressed them. I shut my eyes tightly, feeling her cunt shiver as she came once more, her juices splattering over the tan fur around my groin.

"Still tight as ever, love..." I whispered, moaning and clenching my teeth as I felt her tight walls squeeze me, letting me know she was more then ready for my cum. I leaned over her rocking body, pumping into her faster and faster, drooling on her head in pleasure as I shot precum into her. I whispered her name over and over, trying to will myself not to cum yet, trying to prolong the heavenly feeling in my loins. I gasped, stopping briefly as I was very close to cumming, moaning loudly.

I watched as Kristen licked her lips, wiggling her rear as she whimpered loudly. I could tell she was close to her climax too, so I decided not to hold back any longer. I lowered myself as tight as I could to her, before humping as fast as I possibly could, feeling the huge amounts of pleasure overtake my body. I finally came, my sticky, potent seed shooting deep inside of her warm insides, I growled, pushing into her as hard as I could, pushing her to the ground as my continued to unload my cum into her vag, some of it dripping out and drooling out her as I kept humping. I held my paws around her tightly as I felt her walls massage the pulsing, sensitive tip, moaning and licking her ear. I whispered in her ear, telling her how beautiful she was, and how much I loved her. She responded in happy moans, turning her head to kiss and lick me as I kissed back.

We stayed like that for a while, slowly laying down on the stone floor. I remained inside of her heavenly depths, giving a playful little hump every now and then. We locked lips, kissing and moaning each other's names, staying awake for most of the night together. It was only when we saw the horizon start to turn pink with the rising sun that we fell asleep, still wrapped tightly in each other's arms.

'I love you Kristen..." I whispered, snoring softly as I fell asleep.

"I love you too Alex..." She whispered back, nuzzling into my chest and dozing off as well.
