The area was quiet when Wolf, Flannery and Serenity rematerialised at the base of the tree which contained his home in Fortree City. The sun was setting over the forest, keeping them warm and letting them have enough light to see. His home was probably one of the largest in Fortree, testament to the prize money his parents had accumulated when they had been younger. Wolf's own money had grown vastly as well, given a strong boost by his recent win in Sinnoh.

He looked at his home, taking in the sight from the outside. A spiral staircase wrapped around the base of the tree wound its way up to the front door, showing a reasonably large entryway into the rest of the house. From experience he could pick out where each of the rooms was positioned, branching off from the back of the entrance hall and into several more trees. The first area was the living room, each of the three bedrooms, the bathroom and the gym branching off from a hallway that circled around the living room. Glad to be home despite the fact that Lucky and Caelas weren't with him, he began to climb the stairs, Flannery and Serenity in tow.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a sudden cheer. Momentarily stunned, he quickly shook himself free of his surprise as he realised what was going on. Gathered in the entryway were his parents and their pokemon, all of which were clapping enthusiastically. He smiled weakly, turning his eyes to his parents.

Rose O'kai was a fair woman, close to Flannery's height with shoulder length black hair framing her face with a fringe over one half, bright blue eyes shining as she regarded her son. She was dressed in a white sleeveless top and a loose fitting pair of black three quarter length pants, a pair of slip on sneakers on her feet. Around her crowded her three pokemon, Leafeon, Delcatty and Houndoom all barking and meowing in encouragement.

Byron O'kai was a towering man, almost a good foot taller than Wolf and built like the Machamp that was applauding next to him. He wore his longer hair back in a simple ponytail while the rest of his face was clean shaven, hazel eyes showing pride as he gazed upon Wolf. He was clad in a white singlet and a pair of navy blue trackpants with no footwear, testament to his station as a fighting pokemon trainer. His own pokemon took up most of the room, with Machamp, Toxicroak, Blaziken and Hariyama standing next to him while the much shorter Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Primeape, Medicham, Machoke, Heracross and Gallade all stood in front and cheered.

"Congratulations on your win, sweetie!" Rose said, moving forward to give Wolf a big hug. He returned the gesture, needing the contact to remind him that he wasn't dreaming and that Lucky and Caelas were really gone. Byron followed her over, grasping them both in a bear hug and lifting them both off the floor. Rose gasped as her feet suddenly left the ground, Wolf grinning despite himself. Once Byron put them down, Rose noticed that Lucky wasn't next to him.

"Wolf, where's Lucky?" she asked, almost regretting the question when she saw his gaze fall, his expression becoming mournful.

"She's on Mt Coronet." He replied, eyes unfocussed and saddened. "She needed to raise her son in the wild." His parents fell silent, not sure on what to say. Lucky's departure had hit Wolf pretty hard. Serenity put one hand on his shoulder, prompting him to look around at her.

"She'll be back." She whispered, in her natural tongue rather than her telepathic voice. "She loves you." Nodding, he made an effort to bring himself out of his slump and stop ruining the party.

"Well, we made you a special welcome home slash congratulations dinner." Byron added, trying to cheer his son up. It worked partially, Wolf's spirits lifting as they all trooped to the dining room.

"I'll be back in a few minutes Wolf." Flannery said, heading off to his room. She had been to Wolf's house many times over the years and knew that he had a sturdy rope ladder in his window. Byron had been the one to install it when he had decided Wolf and Flannery could be trusted together. "I need to return Skarmory to Winona before she freaks out and starts hunting me down."

"That's no problem Flannery." Rose said, watching the girl depart. "We made enough for you too, so feel free to join us." Flannery nodded her acceptance before disappearing into the hallway towards Wolf's room.

***

The dinner had been quite enjoyable, especially after the masses of fans and reporters that had been interrupting them during their meals at the Sinnoh league. It had been something of a challenge to get them to leave without being rude, and it hadn't been entirely successful either. The family meal was a nice change of pace, even though his parents were asking their own questions. That was nothing new, although it felt strange that Serenity was the one filling in the gaps rather than Lucky.

"Well, congratulations again on your win." Rose said, picking up the plates and heading towards the kitchen. "We're both proud of you." Wolf smiled, the look only faintly showing the effort it took him. His thoughts were still with Lucky and Caelas, wondering what they were doing now. Flannery stood up, stretching.

"It's been a nice dinner, but I'm afraid that I need to head back to Lavaridge." She said, thanking Rose and Byron for the meal again. "Gyms don't run themselves, and Wattson said he needed to tell me about next year's league. Some kind of rules change or something."

"Always good to have you 'round Flannery!" Byron remarked, staying seated. "I'll leave you two to find the door yourselves, no doubt you'll want some privacy so you can kiss each other goodbye." Flannery blushed, watching with amusement as Wolf rolled his eyes.

"That might be true, but do you have to say it like that?" he complained, seeing his mother shoot a mildly scolding look at Byron. His father just laughed, getting up to help Rose with the dishes while Wolf, Flannery and Serenity made their way to the door. The Gardevoir was modest enough to wait inside the doorway as Wolf and Flannery stepped outside to embrace, their lips brushing against each other in a passionate kiss. She could sense that he didn't feel entirely comfortable with it, even though he put in effort for her benefit. While she was grateful to Lucky for allowing her to share Wolf, deep down she knew that his love belonged to the Lucario.

"I'll try and visit, but it shouldn't be too hard during the holidays. You know how Norman is though." She murmured, rolling her eyes as she mentioned the Petalburg gym leader. Wolf grinned, kissing her again. Once they broke apart, Wolf nodded.

"That's true." He began. "Listen, thanks for coming out to cheer us on. It means a lot to me." She brushed her fringe to one side and smiled, hoping that he would cheer up from missing Lucky. She gave him a small wave as Serenity teleported her back home. Wolf waited outside for a few minutes, trying to get his thoughts together before heading back inside as the day's fatigue finally caught up with him.

***

"Wolf, how about coming for a morning workout with us?"

Machoke gently shook the young trainer, one hand on his shoulder while the other rested on her thigh for support. Much more lean than her male counterparts, she was still able to effectively pin Byron with her prodigious strength. She had a matching sports bra to go with her briefs, another difference between male and female Machoke. Wondering if he'd heard, she shook him again. This time Wolf responded, although not in the way she'd hoped he would.

Rolling away from her, he gave little more than an indistinct growl before trying to get back to sleep. Shrugging, Machoke placed the note Rose had written on his bedside table next to the frame that housed his league picture, somewhere she knew he'd find it. Quietly leaving, she closed the door behind her and rejoined the group. Everyone except Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan had decided to join Rose and Byron on their morning exercise, something that went until midday.

This suited Wolf, who had caught Lucky's scent in his pillow when he'd rolled over. Smiling to himself, he fell back to sleep.

***

"Right you, I'm not letting you sleep the day away!"

Wolf was shaken again, although this time the motion was much more violent. Once the shaker had let him go, he rolled back over to find Serenity standing over him, her face suggesting she was cross with him. Her arms were now folded under her breast, and the look in her eyes made Wolf realise that he'd better get out of bed. Sitting up and moving the covers off himself, he looked at the Gardevoir looming over him with confusion.

"When'd you get back?" he asked, tilting his head. She waved her hand at him irritably, waiting for him to stand up. When he did, she grabbed the front of his bed shirt and pulled him down to her eye level.

"Look Wolf," she started, staring him straight in the eye. "You know that you're going to see Lucky and Caelas again. You know. Now you're going to quit sulking and deal with it, or I'm going to have to do something really drastic. Do you understand?" Faced with an angry Gardevoir he knew was more than capable of knocking him about, he nodded meekly. Satisfied, she let him go, watching as he fell back onto the bed. She pointed to the bedside table.

"Once you've read that, I expect you to come out and feed me. I'm hungry." She said imperiously, before turning and marching out of the room. Watching her go, he picked up the note and began to read.

Morning sweetie,

Dad and I are going for a workout, and the pokemon are coming with us. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are staying though, so make sure that you feed them too. Serenity got back after you went to bed, although she didn't say what took her so long to drop Flannery off. We'll be home for lunch.

Love you, Mum.

Shrugging, Wolf left to find the pokemon. When he entered the dining room, he saw Serenity waiting patiently for him, and to his relief she didn't look angry anymore. He looked around, but didn't see either of his father's pokemon anywhere.

"Do you know where Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are?" he asked, before digging out their bowls. She shook her head while he dug out the food, leaving it next to the bowls. "I've gotta feed them too."

"They're probably in the gym." She responded, getting off her seat. "Fighting types are like that, aren't they?" Shrugging, Wolf and Serenity headed off to the gym to find them. Sure enough they could hear the sounds of them working out, although there was something in the noise that Wolf thought sounded different. When he opened the door to the gym, he understood why. Shocked eyes turned towards Wolf and Serenity, who themselves didn't look too calm. Quickly, Wolf closed the door again.

"Oh, um, sorry!" he called out, surprised that they'd been doing what he saw them doing. "I was just looking to tell you guys that breakfast was being dished up, I didn't mean to walk in and-" Serenity cuffed him to get him to stop babbling. "Sorry!" Scarlet faced, the pair of them walked briskly back to the dining room, sitting down at the table, all thoughts of food forgotten. He looked at her, shaken.

"Were they..." he trailed off, not quite sure how to ask the question. She nodded anyway, all speech knocked out of her.

They waited in stunned silence, until the fighting pokemon walked in. Hitmonlee looked to still be cleaning himself up with a hand towel, while Hitmonchan was busy smoothing her skirt and adjusting her gloves. They looked over at Wolf and Serenity, their own embarrassment mirrored on the faces of the trainer and the Gardevoir.

"Um, sorry we walked in on you two." Wolf muttered, busying himself with the breakfast bowls and handing out the food. Serenity nodded in her own agreement with his apology, still unable to speak. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan glanced at each other, deciding to be truthful.

"Well, it wasn't all bad." Hitmonlee started. "Your little interruption bought me a few more minutes." Hitmonchan nodded in agreement.

"I suppose we'll get over it." She said, in the interest in smoothing over the affair. "But you have to promise not to tell your parents. Your dad seems to think all we want to do is fight." Wolf nodded thoughtfully, eager to put the awkwardness behind them.

"I guess I shouldn't look so shocked." He admitted. "Sex is natural, I guess for some reason I didn't expect you two to be a couple. That sounds weird, doesn't it?"

"Not really." Serenity said. "They could be interested in others. Hell, a Skitty and a Wailord could fall in love." Trying to keep the image that conjured out of his mind, Wolf finished pouring his own breakfast and joined the pokemon.

"So, how long have you two been together?" he asked in between mouthfuls, waiting patiently while Hitmonlee finished his own mouthful.

"We got together not too long before you and Lucky met." He answered, Wolf smiling around his spoon.

"It's taken you this long to get some?" he asked incredulously. Hitmonlee shook his head.

"Of course not." He replied stiffly. "We've gotten together whenever we could get some time alone. That's pretty difficult around here sometimes." Wolf nodded thoughtfully, conceding the point, until another thought occurred to him.

"How's that possible?" he asked. "Wouldn't there be Tyrogue everywhere?" The fighting pokemon looked at each other, unable to tell if he was serious or not. He looked at Serenity, finding the Gardevoir giving him the exact same look.

"I thought you knew the reason for that, Wolf." She said, her head tilted while she frowned at him. When he didn't respond, she elaborated. "Pokemon females can choose whether or not they fall pregnant from sex. I'm surprised you didn't know that one." He shrugged, taking another mouthful while she continued. "After all, we don't have a child." He nodded, listening to her but not hearing what she'd said for a few seconds. When he realised, he did a spit take, spraying chewed bits of cereal over the table in front of him. He turned to her, aghast.

"What was that?!" he asked, almost unable to believe his ears. "We can have a child?!" Serenity watched his outburst with little more than puzzlement.

"I thought you knew." She said, looking at him as though he were slow. "Besides, would I really have needed to tell you?" He stared at her, stunned.

"It would've been nice if you did." He said, trying to calm himself down. He could see her point, although he really felt like he had been kept in the dark. "What about the others?"

"No, only our genetics are close enough for it." She answered, watching as he sagged in relief. "Don't worry, I'd never have a child by you without your consent." Hitmonchan watched the exchange with faint incomprehension.

"So, does that mean you two..." she trailed off. Serenity nodded, noting that Wolf still couldn't speak.

"Casual." She elaborated. "Much like with most of the girls on the team. Lucky's his girlfriend though." Hitmonchan looked at Serenity, then turned to Wolf, eyes shining.

"So she did ask you?" she asked excitedly. He nodded, watching with amusement as Hitmonchan squealed in delight. "That's so cool! She really was quite sweet on you when you came back from Kanto, you know." Hitmonlee leaned forward, a thought occurring to him.

"Y'know Wolf, we've been looking for someone to join in with us when we get together." He said, a knowing look in his eyes. "I know we can trust you not to talk, but since you know already and you don't mind pokemon, would you care to join in?" Wolf considered the offer, before letting a smile assert itself on his features.

"Sounds good, but I promised Lucky that we'd be exclusive for a while." He admitted. "I wouldn't break that vow for any girl in existence."

"I talked to Lucky last night. After I dropped Flannery off, of course."

Wolf turned to look at Serenity, who produced a strip of bark that had the Lucario's scent on it in case Wolf didn't believe her. "She said that it was okay." He stared at her for a minute, trying to decide whether to be angry at her for not telling him this earlier or to be sceptical at her claim. Thoughts of Lucky purged such petty resentments from his mind, along with a firm belief that the Gardevoir wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

"Well, I guess that settles that." He said, satisfied.

***

Once breakfast was finished, Wolf and the fighting pokemon entered the gym. Serenity had offered to keep watch in case Wolf's parents returned early, meditating in the living room so that her psychic powers could act as a warning beacon. Just as well, Wolf thought to himself, letting the fighting pokemon lead the way.

The gym itself was spacious, designed to accommodate a great deal of people and pokemon at once. A single track wound around the centre of the room for jogging practice, with ten work stations spread out around the outside of the track. Weights were strewn about one corner, a pair of exercise bikes in the opposite corner. Each station was labelled with a number from one to ten, a system Wolf was quite familiar with. He didn't go into the gym much lately, not just because he was travelling. His most frequent workouts were during the years when he had failed to wake up on time to receive a pokemon, Wolf working his frustration and anger out with the exercise.

Another room branched off from the gym, thought this one contained the shower stalls for after the workout sessions. Rose had been adamant when the gym was being built that the house would not smell like stale body odour all the time, and anyone caught leaving the gym without having showered first was sprayed liberally with her deodorant, usually after a brief chase. Now showering after a workout was second nature to the occupants of the house.

Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan stopped before one of the pyramidal dumbbell racks, stripping the weights off the rack and placing them to one side. Once they were done, Hitmonchan turned to Wolf.

"Off with your clothes." She giggled, curious to see him naked. He complied, peeling off his bed shirt and placing it on the nearby bench press. Her eyes widened when he took his boxers off, his penis already starting to harden in anticipation. She giggled again, seeing the same effect on Hitmonlee.

"I think I'll need to speed you two up." She purred, taking the tip on one of her boxing gloves in between her teeth and pulling it off with little trouble. She threw the glove over to join Wolf's clothes, the second glove following it, revealing surprisingly dexterous hands. The boys watched eagerly as she stripped off her top, the cloth and the shoulder pads coming off without delay. The skirt was next, needing only a slight nudge to cause it to fall off her hips onto the floor. She kicked it to the side, getting to work on her bra. She lingered with its removal, teasing them for a few seconds before casting it to join the pile of discarded clothing, revealing her nicely shaped breasts. Finally, she gripped the sides of her panties, spinning around to show off her tight derriére as she slid them down her legs, casting a lustful look over her shoulder as she rendered herself fully naked. The sight guaranteed that by the time she straightened herself out and turned around to face them again, both Wolf and Hitmonlee were completely rigid. She leered suggestively at them both, running a hand over each of them before getting to her knees and taking them into a proper grip.

Wasting no time, she ran her tongue over the underside of Wolf's penis before taking the whole thing in her mouth, the warm wet feeling causing him to groan in pleasure. Hitmonlee wasn't missing out, her nimble fingers exploring him to his extent, his own moans adding to Wolf's. She braced herself with one hand on Wolf's backside, using the leverage to get as much of him into her mouth as she could. Her other hand artfully stroked Hitmonlee, making sure that no inch of his erection went untouched by her slender fingers. She kept up this pace for another minute before switching over, her fingers gliding over Wolf's spit slicked shaft, Hitmonlee's own disappearing into her mouth to be expertly teased by her moist tongue. The boys made no move to change her pace, letting her own experience do all of the work. Soon enough her talent brought them both to the end, taking both of them in her hands and jerking them off as fast as she could until they burst, their seed covering her face, shoulders and breasts.

Breathing heavily, Wolf sat back on one of the racks, Hitmonlee taking position next to him. They watched Hitmonchan clean herself up, brushing her lithe fingers over her body, scooping up all of the seed and carefully lapping it off with her tongue. When she was finished, she sat down in between them and gripped them again, pleased that her little display had readied them both for the main performance.

"Now, we can begin." She whispered lustfully, getting up and standing in front of Wolf. Bending over, she placed one hand on either side of her rear and spread herself apart, batting her eyelashes at the trainer. "I think you know what to do." She giggled.

Wolf abandoned his seat, bending his knees slightly in order to bring his hips to the height of hers. Brushing his tip along her anus, he pushed himself into her tight passage with little delay, getting the entire length into her with no complaint. Wrapping one arm around her mid section, he pressed her body close to his while his other arm moved to support her legs. He sat back on the dumbbell rack, letting her snake one arm around his neck to keep her in place while he grabbed her legs and lifted them into the air. Hitmonlee stood in front of them, moving to insert himself into her pussy before taking hold of her legs and allowing Wolf to shift his hands to her waist.

Now that he had a proper grip on her, he lifted her up off his shaft, Hitmonlee drawing back out of her in sync, before pushing her back down, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body at the feeling of being penetrated in both her pussy and her ass. Hitmonchan couldn't stop a loud gasp escaping her as they did this, never having experienced such a feeling before in her life. The boys kept their rhythm remarkably well, the fighting pokemon drawing out in perfect timing with the trainer, thrusting back in so that she was completely filled each time.
Wolf leaned back against the racks, letting Hitmonchan fall against him whilst Hitmonlee followed, pumping into her all the time. Wolf shifted his hands to her butt, pulling her off while bucking his hips to thrust into her, enjoying the feeling of her tight rear on him. He loved hearing her voice as she cried out in pleasure, as well as the pressure Hitmonlee's own thrusts had on her insides as they pressed against him.

Soon enough the feeling of being screwed from both sides proved too much for Hitmonchan. She let out a final scream as both of her passages tightened, grasping both of the boys and rushing their own climaxes forward. Wolf hissed as he came, filling her rear with his seed while Hitmonlee gave one final thrust into her, shooting his own right up into her. Gasping, he withdrew from her, watching as her arms and legs drooped and she laid back on Wolf, the trainer waiting for a moment before sliding her off his softening member. She sat down on the floor, leaning against the rack while she regained her strength. Watching her heaving chest and seeing her still wet pussy, Wolf felt himself recover with surprising speed. He glanced over at Hitmonlee, seeing that the pokemon was having the same effect on the sight of Hitmonchan lying there. He nodded towards the showers, Wolf seeing his point, and both of the boys grabbed one of her arms each and pulled her to her feet. She smiled dreamily at them both.

"That was fun, wasn't it?" she asked shakily, still not quite having caught her breath. Wolf smirked at her before they began to guide her to the showers, Hitmonlee chuckling.

"I don't think we're quite through yet." He said, even while they headed for a stall. She glanced at him in confusion, looking down to see that they were both hard again. She gasped, marvelling at how long they were both lasting. Once they were inside the stall, Wolf turned on the water and let it stream down their naked bodies. Smiling at her, he ran his hands along her chest, taking the time to massage each of her breasts thoroughly. Even while he rubbed her breasts, Hitmonlee brought his hands down along her abdomen, fingers quickly finding their destination and teasing the soft skin of her pussy before entering, almost causing her to pitch forward under the wonderful feeling. Once they were done toying with her, Wolf once again gripped her legs and brought her hips up to his, letting her guide his penis into her after Hitmonlee withdrew his fingers, resting them either side of her hips while he pushed himself into her backside. She moaned again, her eyes rolling back at the sheer level of ecstasy they were bringing her to. She slipped one arm around both of them, giving both a good view of her chest as they thrust into her with abandon. She felt as though she was in heaven, as though such a level of pleasure was not meant for mortals.

Already having peaked several times, none of them were able to keep going for long. Howling, Hitmonchan's insides clamped down again as she reached another orgasm, tightening down on both of them and trying to empty them of all the seed they carried. They went into her willingly, letting themselves fill her with their seed again. Completely spent, they collapsed into a pile on the floor of the shower, water streaming down on them and washing away the sweat clinging to their panting bodies. After a couple of minutes, Wolf stirred enough to wash himself off and leave them to do the same. Leaving the shower, he grabbed a towel and was beginning to dry himself off when Serenity burst through the door of the gym, eyes wide.

"Wolf!" she cried. "They're home early!" Swearing under his breath, Wolf hurried over to the bench press and grabbed the pile of clothes still left there. Serenity ferreted around to make sure he didn't miss anything, watching as he dashed around the corner and dropped the clothes where they were expected to be. Grabbing his own from the mess, he did his best to look innocent as he rounded the corner back into the gym, noting with no little relief that his father was only just entering the room. Catching sight of Wolf in nothing but a towel, he gave his son a big grin.

"I see that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan gave you a thorough workout." He observed, clapping him on the back. Wolf grinned sheepishly at Byron while Serenity pretended the skipping ropes over the other side were very interesting.

"You could say that." He answered.

***

That night, in spite of the day's events, Wolf still found himself wondering what he was going to do. Without Lucky, he didn't feel like a trainer. He loved each of his pokemon just as much, but Lucky had been his first pokemon, and not having her by his side as either his first pokemon or his first love was a deeply disturbing thought for him. As he leaned over the rail, taking in the view of the forest as the moonlight shone off the leaves, he didn't notice Ivysaur exit the house, moving to stand next to him. For a minute Ivysaur didn't speak, trying to gather his own thoughts.

"Something wrong?" he asked, causing Wolf to jump at the sudden remark. He looked down at Ivysaur for a moment, then turned back to the forest.

"I honestly don't know what to do." He admitted, sitting down and letting his legs dangle over the edge of the platform. "Lucky's not here, and without her the team just doesn't feel the same. I still love all you guys, but there's something missing." Ivysaur nodded sagely.

"I know how that feels." He said simply. "It's the fear of change."

Wolf stared at Ivysaur incredulously, wondering just what he meant. The pokemon saved him asking, noting his disbelieving stare.

"You've been with us for four years, Wolf." He began. "I know you haven't caught any more pokemon because you don't want any of us to feel neglected, and that's really cool. But I think that it's that fear of change that's also influenced that. Now that change has been forced onto you, you feel powerless." Wolf opened his mouth to object, but shut it almost immediately. What Ivysaur was saying made some sense. He continued, the trainer listening intently.
"I figure the best way to fight change is to accept it. That sounds weird, I know, but if you don't accept change as a fact of life then you won't go anywhere. I know just how that feels Wolf."

"How?" he asked. "You're not afraid of change, are you?"

"I am." He said. "When I evolved from Bulbasaur, I was shocked to the core. I thought I'd be a Bulbasaur forever, and evolving really hit me hard. When I felt like I was about to evolve again, I fought harder than you know. That's why I wanted this collar. I'll be ready to evolve someday, but it hasn't come yet." Wolf stayed silent, amazed at Ivysaur's admission. Whatever reason he had thought that Ivysaur had for not evolving into Venusaur, it certainly wasn't that.

"So, what should I do?" he asked.

"Not what I'm doing." He responded. "Take change head on, as a challenge." Wolf nodded thoughtfully, slowly becoming aware of a sound behind him. Turning, he saw Princess and Ninetales standing behind him.

"You're talking about having a stand in for Lucky?" Princess asked, something in her tone unsure. Wolf nodded, watching as Princess looked at Ninetales for support.

"Wolf, we've been talking." She began, looking him square in the eye. "Princess and I would like to stay in Fortree this year. Today, when we were in town, Princess helped out Nurse Joy and I caught a running thief for Officer Jenny. We want to stay and help them more." Wolf regarded them with a neutral glance before nodding, indicating that he was supportive of their decision. Looking over the forest, Wolf felt as though a massive weight had lifted from his shoulders. He realised that he was only holding himself back with this attitude, but now his way was clear. The memory of Snowpoint City leapt unbidden to his mind, reminding him of the Orange Islands and the four badge league they held. Wolf smiled, for there was no end for the year before it had begun. It felt as though it was a new beginning.Chapter End Notes:*** I feel that now is the best time to mention that this will be the final chapter of Wolf's Story. Fear not, fans of the story, for I am working on a sequel. Thanks to all who read this story, it does mean a lot that you'd take the time to read something I wrote
