Ch.9 A Heated Home Coming Pt.2 In the Deep End

Devin woke with a start, the memories of the night before rushing in on him like a tidal wave. He had walked past his Aunts room, Lu and her were having an intimate moment. He had been so riveted he couldn't look away. Lu had spotted him, he wanted to run, she had convinced him to stay. He had fallen to his knees completely enraptured with the sight of his Aunt devouring her lovers' sex, he had been excited. Lu had seen, she wanted him to show her his excitement. Something had come over him, he wanted to show her, but he wanted her to beg, she did beg. She wanted him to satisfy himself to the sight of her mating, again he had demanded her to beg, again she had, and he had been in complete control of her.

It was by far the hottest thing he had ever done or encountered, and it made him sick. Lu had always been like a mother to him, but more importantly she was his Aunts lover. It was not right of him to have these thoughts about her or to have treated her that way.

Devin just laid there staring at his ceiling. He had to get a bigger bed when he first got home because of the way that his girls insisted on sleeping with him, so as he laid there he took stock of his surroundings on his king sized bed.

At his head was Abby fast asleep, laying on her side with his head resting on her soft belly. The added weight of his head was causing her to snore slightly. This didn't keep her from being slightly curled around him in a semi protective manner.

On his right side fast asleep with her head resting on his right shoulder, her shoulder to any one that came near it, was Rio. The funny position of her own body as well as the odd angle of her head was not only causing her to snore but to drool as well.

On his left side curled in to his body was Mocha. She was completely nude opting to not ware night-clothes, which had at first been a little awkward, he was used to it now though. Her head was on his left shoulder and she was mumbling something in her sleep. Every once in a while her tongue would poke out and she would gently lick his shoulder.

Curled up on his chest and stomach area was Zhen. She had only been sleeping on his stomach for the longest of time but when Mocha had vacated his chest she had taken the opportunity to stretch out a bit. She must have had a good dream because she was purring in her sleep. How he wished he could take away all her bad memories and her pain, allow her to live a normal life full of love and caring. Not the tortured one she had lived.

Finally at his feet was Star. She had always slept on his lap but when she had evolved into a Luxio she had migrated down to his feet. She had become so strong and beautiful as of late, he couldn't understand why she was still so timid. He decided that right now he had more important things to think about.

Like what the hell that Arceus awful smell was and where was it coming from. Turning his head he gave a whiff of Abby, she smelt of Mint leaves. Devin lifted and eyebrow at her. A wide grin spread across her lips as she looked back at him.

"You like, I did it just for you." Abby whispered with a sly wink.

"I'm not even going to ask how you pulled that off."

Abby just curled forward and licked Devin across the lips."fine then."

Devin kissed her nose. "Go back to sleep."

Abby Laid her head back down and was snoring again. Devin next turned his head towards Rio. He wrinkled his nose at her morning breath, but other than that she smelled just fine. Devin then turned his head to Mocha and found what he was looking for.

Doing everything he could to not puke Devin started to extract himself from his own personal fur pile. It took a bit of doing but he finally got free. Taking a moment to check Flower and make sure she is doing alright, Devin set to the monumental task of waking Mocha.

"Mocha. Mocha wake up." Devin whispered while shaking her.

Mocha gave a little start and then closed her eyes again rolling over so she was facing away from him. Sighing deeply Devin shock her again, this time a little more vigorously. Mocha gave a little grunting moan and swatted at Devin's hand. He would have found it cute if she didn't really need a bath. Reaching just under her side Devin rolled her right out of the bed. It wasn't much more than a two foot drop since Devin had opted not to get a bed frame, but still, Mocha was awake as soon as she hit the floor.

"Hey! What did you do that for?"

Devin put a finger to her lips to silence her as he pointed around the bed at her sleeping sisters. Mocha gave him a dirty glare as if to say she was happily one of the sleeping 'mon just a second ago and she would really like to be again. Devin on the other hand pointed behind her to the bedroom door and got off the bed himself to escort her out. Mocha rolled her eyes and moved towards the door. Devin was amused, as a Buneary she had never once coped an attitude with him or anyone else for that matter. He was finding it to be kind of cute.

Quietly they made it down the hall till they got to the bathroom. Again Devin just pointed at the door. Again she just rolled her eyes and heaved a dramatic sigh. It reminded him of himself about five years ago when he had been 14 and rebellious. Devin gave her a playful swat on the ass that caused her to jump forward with a surprised yelp.

"Hey! What did you do that for? And why are we in the bathroom?" Mocha asked rubbing her butt.

Devin didn't believe her for a second that her butt hurt."You smell terrible Mocha when was the last time you bathed."

Mocha thought about it for a solid minute before answering him."You haven't bathed me in over three weeks."

"And you didn't think of bathing yourself why?"

"I've never bathed myself you always have. You just haven't for some reason. You haven't even held me since I evolved. Did I do something wrong? Do you not love me anymore? You're going to leave me here to be breeding stock aren't you? I'll behave I promise, I'll even learn how to fight. Don't leave me behind."

With every word she spoke she became more hysterical till she was out right sobbing. Covering her face with her delicate hands she started to openly cry. Devin didn't know where any of that had come from but at the moment he felt like an utter ass as he stood there. He had been so wrapped up in not setting her off and turning her into a nymphomaniac that he had out right been denying her the basic affections she deserved.

Reaching out Devin pulled her in close wrapping his arms around her delicate body as best he could without harming her. Her head barely came up to his chest but she buried her face in it none the less. Gently Devin rubbed her back and ears trying to sooth her and calm her down.

"It is not your fault Hun, it is mine. It's my fault the way you evolved in such a way that added to the natural difficulties you would have had normally. I was trying to save you from some of the pain and discomfort and instead I added to it. Your body is going to play tricks on you, make you think you are in love and ready to mate. I just didn't want that for you, I wanted you to lead a normal life like you were. But the more you flirted with me the further I pushed you away."

Mocha sniffled a bit as she continued to rest her head on his chest. She had started to settle down a bit at least.

"I'm sorry this is happening Devin. I didn't choose to evolve this way. I'm so confused all the time and I don't know what to do. I promise I'll behave, just don't leave me behind."

"I promise I will never leave you behind Dear. Now come on and dry your eyes and I'll show you how to bathe yourself."

Sniffling a little Mocha dried her eyes and watched intently as Devin showed her how to manipulate the faucet to get the water just the right temperature. With a sweeping gesture Devin motioned Mocha into the shower.

She had to admit that it was a different experience than taking a bath. She loved how the water cascaded over her head and ears. She felt a kind of rush as the water made its way down the small of her back and over her butt. Her stomach gave a flutter as the warm water made its way over her breasts, down her belly and finally touched her sex. It was exhilarating to say the least.

When she was good and wet Devin handed her a special Pokémon grooming brush. Devin considered the brush a stroke of grooming genius. In the long handle of the brush was a chamber that contained Pokémon formulated shampoo, and dispensed it as the brush was being used. So not too much shampoo and not too little was ever used. It took most of the guess-work out of bathing. It was also an Arceus send for the trainer on a budget. However they weren't very practical for travel.

"On second thought Hun why don't you give me the brush."

"Why? I thought you wanted me to learn how to do this myself?""I do that is exactly why I want the brush back; we won't have this when we go back on the road.""Oh..."With that she handed the brush back and Devin handed her a bright pink bottle that had a Lopunny on the label in a very enticing pose. She was wondering what the point of the picture was when all of a sudden it slipped from her wet fingers. She fumbled it a few times before it clattered to the floor. Quickly she bent over to grab it before the contents could all spill out. On her way down she accidentally bumped her head on the wash cloth handle.

Devin reached into the shower and grabbed the bottle while Mocha was still rubbing her head. He tried to ignore the fact that his head was dangerously close to Mocha's exposed sex. Retrieving the bottle he quickly sat back up and tried handing it to her again.

Once again she fumbled with the now wet and soapy bottle. This time when it clattered to the ground it landed behind her. Before Devin could tell her to stop she spun about and bent over fully exposing her luscious ass and sopping lips to Devin's view. Devin quickly averted his eyes so he wouldn't be tempted to do what he swore he wouldn't. This was quickly turning down the path he didn't want to be down, and she wasn't even doing it intentionally.

When he turned his view back to Mocha his jaw damn near hit the bathroom floor. She had picked the bottle up and was sandwiching it between her small breasts trying to get a good grip on it. Devin quickly found himself a stool to sit on before Mocha could notice that he had a raging hard on.

Finally figuring out the mechanics of the bottle Mocha dispensed a little of the soap into her paw and started to work it into her fur. The shampoo smelled strongly of flowers and berries. It also made her skin tingle as she worked it in. Getting more of the shampoo she worked it into her chest and breasts. Her breath caught in her chest as her paws worked themselves over the sensitive mounds of flesh that weren't supposed to be there.

A fog started to creep over her consciousness as her paws lingered on her chest longer than was needed. Shaking herself mentally she moved on to her stomach and then her thighs. It felt nice to rub the soap into those as well. It was confusing really, did all females feel like this when they bathed, or was her mind and body playing tricks on her as Devin had said it would.

She continued to ponder this as she washed her other leg. Getting a little more shampoo Mocha placed her paw right in her crotch without thinking about it. Her reaction was immediate and breath taking. The second her fingers touched her delicate flesh it was like she had been touched by an electric attack. Electricity shot through her body and it was exhilarating. Again she found her paw working on its own and the pleasure it was giving her was mind-blowing and intoxicating at the same time.

"Devin, could you give me a little help please?" Mocha found herself asking with just a bit of a whimper to her voice.

Devin swallowed hard as he noticed that she was presenting her back to him."Um with what Dear?"

Mocha gave a little wiggle of her butt, just enough to be tempting and cause her bulbous tail to jiggle.

"I need help with my back please..." She responded looking over her shoulder at him slightly shaking the bottle of shampoo she had in hand.

With trembling hands Devin reached for the bottle. He was amazed he was able to keep ahold of it as he stood up and stepped to the edge of the tub. Squeezing a little of the shampoo into his hand Devin placed it directly between her shoulder blades. Mocha gave a little squeak and a shudder involuntarily taking a step away from Devin.

Devin leaned forward to compensate as he started to work the shampoo into her shoulders and upper back. Mocha gave a little moan and once again took an involuntary step away from Devin. Leaning forward again Devin started to get sprayed by the water as well.

"Mocha, Hun, you need to stop moving away from me or else we won't get anything accomplished here." Devin exclaimed with a light quiver to his voice.

"I can't help it your touch is just so, so, electric and makes me feel so good."

They just stood there looking at each other, both with apprehension in their eyes. A sudden thought struck Mocha and she spoke it out loud before she even thought about it.

"Why don't I stand up against the wall so I can't move away from you, and you join me in here."

She could see him mull it over and about to reject it. Again her mind and mouth worked without her working them.

"Besides you smell pretty ripe yourself, and I know you'll want to get the smell of wet 'mon off of you."

Devin found himself agreeing for some reason, and before he knew it he was stripping out of his pajama pants exposing himself to Mocha's growing excitement. Mocha pressed her body up against the wall, the cold stimulating her already over stimulated nipples. Placing both of her hands on the wall like she was waiting to be frisked she gave a little wiggle of her hips.

With shaking hands Devin approached her, the wiggle of her hips not escaping his notice. It was only a few feet but it felt like a mile as he approached her. Every shred of common sense he had was screaming at him to stop, that this was wrong, that neither one of them knew what they were doing. But at the same time his instincts were screaming louder that this was so right and that they both wanted it so badly.

Swallowing hard Devin's hands made contact with her delicate sides. Mocha moaned deeply as his hands started to work themselves up and down going from her marvelous hips up to just under the side of her breasts. On the next pass his hands traveled further down till they almost grazed her butt and when they got to the top of her ribs they did touch her breasts. Mocha leaned back into Devin's body and started to rub herself up and down on him. She gasped as she felt him grab a hold of her small breast and rub his stiff member between her butt cheeks.

All at once Devin was on his knees forcing her cheeks apart so he could have easier access to her lower lips. Mocha couldn't see what he was doing, but she held her breath none the less. A deep pleasurable sigh escaped her mouth as she felt Devin's tongue snake out and slide over her puffy wanting lips. She couldn't help but gush some of her nectar into Devin's mouth as on the next pass his tongue parted her nether lips and made contact with her most sacred of treasures.

She continued to moan and sigh as Devin continued to feast on her folds, each swipe of his tongue going deeper in to her pussy than the one before it. She couldn't help herself and her body took control of itself as she started to grind herself on Devin's face.

With a shuddering squeal Mocha came hard on Devin's face, drenching him in her personal lubrication. Devin licked his lips making sure he got every last drop he could of her sweet love sauce in to his mouth. Standing back up he placed one hand on her hip and the other on the small of her back and gently pushed her upper body forward. Mocha wasn't sure what exactly was going on or what she was doing but she all too happily complied and bent over once again placing her hands on the tiled wall.

Taking his achingly stiff member in hand Devin placed the head right at her quivering vaginal opening. Carefully he wedged his throbbing head right in her entrance. Placing both hands on her glorious hips he felt her shudder in ecstasy. Just as he was about to force himself forward and tear away her innocence forever he looked down at the Lopunny bent over in front of him and stopped.

Sudden horror flooded him as he realized what he was about to do. Every fiber of his being screamed at him that he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life with one of his dearest friends, and neither one of them had noticed or cared. As quickly as he could he pulled himself out of her entrance and backed away as far as he could.

"Devin, what's the matter?" Mocha whimpered looking directly at her terrified trainer.

Devin's face was buried in his hands and he was sobbing. He had been a heartbeat away from doing to her exactly what he had tried to avoid. One thrust, one little act of intimacy had almost cost him his beloved Lopunny. He didn't know if she would have ended up like the reports said she would have, a sex starved nymphomaniac addicted to her master. He didn't know, and he hadn't cared. He had been so caught up that he had almost sacrificed her innocence for a few minutes of bliss.

"Devin?..."

He felt her press her delicious little body up against his, and it took of every ounce of energy to deny her.

"Mocha please, for your own safety, back away from me."

Mocha was startled and confused. Devin had made her feel so good, so happy and her body ached for more. She could tell he was about to give her what her body wanted too. But he had stopped, and now he was terrified and trying to get away from her. Had she done something wrong? She needed to know.

"Devin what's the matter, please tell me?"

"Mocha you need to stop, this isn't right. As a matter of fact this is so wrong it's scary."

Mocha pressed herself closer to his body, and felt him try to retreat again.

"Don't you love me, don't you want me, and do I not please you?"

Suddenly Devin grabbed her by both shoulders and looked her dead in the eye.

"Yes I do, I do very much, and yes you do, I want this so much it hurts."

"Then why won't you mate with me?"

"Because what you and I want will destroy you. You will no longer be you. You'll become a slave to your body and your desires."

"But I want this..." Mocha whined as she pressed herself forward once again.

However as she did this she slipped on the forgotten shampoo bottle and fell forward into Devin. Without thought Devin caught her and fell back wards himself with Mocha on top of him. They just looked at each other as they both suddenly realized that Devin's erect member was sandwiched between his stomach and her steaming hot sex.

All she had to do was raise her hips a little and then sit down and she would have what she wanted. At that moment however the door to the bathroom opened. Devin had never locked it.

In stumbled Rio, she was half asleep and was not paying attention. Quietly she made her way to the toilet and sat down on it succumbing to natures early morning call. Devin and Mocha watched her in absolute horror, stunned that she had not seen them. When she was done she wiped herself and slid off the toilet making sure to flush when she was done. Just as quietly as she had entered she started to leave. When she got in front of the shower she stopped and looked right at them. Devin hopped that she was still sleeping and wouldn't notice them. He was not that lucky.

"Hey Devin, hey Mocha, what are you guys doing?"

Before either one could tell her to stop Rio approached the tub and looked over the edge. Rio was instantly awake and they watched as several emotions slid across her blue face. First she was confused, then a look of realization slid across her face, followed shortly by anger, and then betrayal.

"...Why?..." She managed to croak out in her disbelief at what she saw her beloved Devin and her closest sister were doing.

"Rio this is not what you think it is, I was showing Mocha how to take a shower and..."

"And what!" Rio exploded.

"And what Devin? What she tripped, fell, and landed on your dick?"

"Actually that is exactly what happened."

Mocha vigorously nodded her head. Rio looked from Devin to Mocha and back again. All at once she burst into tears and ran wailing from the bathroom. Quicker than he thought possible Devin extracted himself from underneath Mocha pulled on his pajama pants and tore off after her.

Mocha for her part was heartbroken. What had she just done? Was this what Devin had been talking about when he had told her that her body would play tricks on her and betray her. Mocha pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her face in them crying her red eyes out.

In pursuit

Devin tore off down the stairs following Rio's still wet foot prints. At the very least he was thankful that her paws had collected enough water from the bathroom floor to leave a clear trail to follow. Devin didn't even break stride when he reached the kitchen. He didn't even spare a glance to Aunt Rose or the Pokémon that were with her.

Rose had witnessed Rio tear through the kitchen a few minutes ago crying hysterically, she had a feeling that Devin would be following soon after. So when Devin came running by as well all she did was reach out and grab Drizzle by the tail to prevent her from chasing after him. Drizzle gave her a hurt look, but Rose just shook her head and pointed back at her dish. Drizzle grudgingly went back to eating her food. However she had a slight smirk on her face. If Rio and Devin were fighting then her chances were getting better.

Devin cleared the front steps as he bust through the front door. Hitting the dirt path in front of the house Devin saw that Rio's foot prints were even easier to see and they were headed towards the Normal area. So that was the way he headed as well. He was so focused on Rio's tracks that he wasn't looking where he was going and as he rounded the corner of the Normal type barn he ran into Lu.

"Male, I've been looking for you."

Lu got really close to him and started to rub herself on his body. She paid close attention to his exposed stomach and chest. Devin's mind did a little back flip. What she was doing was at the same time turning him on and scaring the hell out of him. Her actions were saying she was being seductive, her eyes said she was going to get what she wanted by any means necessary.

"I really enjoyed watching you last night. Did you enjoy watching me?"

Devin didn't get a chance to respond before Lu Shot up onto her toes and wrapped her arms around Devin's neck forcing him to bend over. Very roughly Lu kissed him. Devin didn't even give himself a chance to ponder what she was doing or to even object he just grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her away.

"Lu I don't have time for this, I have to find..."

Lu grabbed Devin by the wrist and shoulder tossed him to the ground. Though momentarily stunned Devin recovered enough to roll with the throw and counter throw Lu. They both hit the ground hard and came to their feet. Lu rushed in making to strike Devin mid body. Devin swat blocked the strike away and grabbed her other wrist as it came flying at him. With a twist and a pull he had her restrained with her back to his chest.

"Lu listen to me..."

"Enough talk more action. I will get what I want out of you one way or another."

With that Lu took a quick step back putting Devin off-balance. With a quick pop of her hips Lu once again shoulder tossed Devin to the ground. Somehow she had managed to keep a hold of his wrists and with a graceful flip and twist of her own body she had Devin's hands restrained behind his head and she was straddling his chest.

Devin tried to resist her but couldn't. She was stronger than him and had the advantage of leverage. There was also a part of him that didn't want to move. The way she had his hands restrained behind his head also placed her arms above his head as well. This all combined placed her breast right in his face, and they were swaying in time with her breathing. Which was very labored Devin noticed. Had she really worked that hard to toss him to the ground or had she already worked herself into that much of a frenzy. He was leaning towards being worked up, especially with the way she was grinding her essence into his chest.

Devin was momentarily lost in Lu's dominance. Her swaying tits so close to his mouth just begging to be suckled. Her gyrating hips on his chest spreading her natural lube all over him in wet fragrant swatches. Her scent itself was intoxicating beyond description.

She almost had him right then and there. What broke her hold over him though was when she bent over and roughly kissed him full on the mouth again. Devin's mind instantly snapped back to where it needed to be and not where it wanted to be. With a quick pop of his own hips he bridged his body sending her falling over his head and to the ground. She had shown him how to do that when he was younger.

"It is a most effective way to get an attacker off of your chest." She had told him.

Devin tucked his body up and rolled up on top of her. Their rolls were now reversed of what they had been a few seconds ago. Now Lu was on her back, underneath Devin, with him restraining her hands behind her head. With a throaty chuckle Lu raised her head off the ground and gave Devin's jaw line a lick.

"If you really wanted to be in control all you had to do was assert your dominance male."

"You almost had me, you really did. Do you want to know where you made your mistake?"

He didn't give her a chance to respond as he leaned in and gave the nape of her neck a lite kiss then made his way up her neck to her jaw. Finally he leaned in and kissed her deeply and passionately, once again letting her scent mess with his head. Lu for her part was really enjoying her first ever passionate kiss with a male. Rio's father hadn't kissed her, he had just fucked her, hard and fast, making sure he hurt her. That is when she had forever sworn off men. Her first was her last. Or so she had thought.

But this, this was different, after all this time her body was demanding a males most intimate touch. She knew Rose would have let her have any male on the Ranch if she had just told her what was happening to her. But deep down, in the darkest most secret corners of her mind, she had always wanted Devin.

All at once Devin's lips left hers leaving her wanting vastly more from him. She whimpered softly as she looked up at him pleadingly, her body squirming underneath him in her agitation.

"I see what you mean male. But after a kiss like that why do you still deny me? Couldn't you feel how much I want you? Do you not want me too?"

Devin collapsed on top of her, his strength leaving him. He still didn't let go of her hands though. He was beyond tired of this mating season and every 'mon in his life wanting him for all the wrong reasons. All of them asking him the same question, "Don't you want me too." Devin rested his head next to hers and gently kissed her cheek before whispering in to her ear.

"I don't know what I want any more Lu, and neither do you. What we have done, what we are doing is very wrong in so many ways. You are like a mother to me. You are my best friend's mother. And you are my Aunts lover. Yes I love you Lu, just not in the way you want me to."

Lu let out a shuddering sigh as she tried to keep her tears in. Devin let her arms go and she slowly brought them up around his neck. Gently she licked his jaw line and cheek again. Heaving a deep sigh Devin got up from Lu and offered his hand up. Lu placed one silky paw in his hand and let him pull her up to her feet.

"What are we going to do Male? My mind and body betray me. I can't eat and I can't sleep. Thoughts of what I want to do to you haunt me every second of every day. The pain in my womb and woman hood has become unbearable. I just want it to stop."

Devin pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, still trying to comfort her.

"I am sorry this is happening to you Lu, but I really need to find Rio. I was showing Mocha how to take a shower and she fell on top of me. Rio walked in on us and..."

Devin breath left him in a rush as Lu's fist made hard contact with his stomach. Devin doubled over and dropped to his knees in front of Lu.

"Something else that needs to change around here is you need to stop hurting my Daughter!" Lu said more than a little upset with Devin.

"Not... doing it... on purpose... just happening..." Devin managed to gasp out.

"That may be so male, but it needs to stop. Now you go and get ready for your fancy meeting and I'll go deal with Rio."

With that Lu took off running. Devin just finished slumping to the ground and laid there wondering what in the hell he was going to do now.

Shade Tree in the Training GroundsLu had felt Rio running off towards the training area before she had run into Devin and lost her mind to her desires. However when Devin started to tell her that he had once again hurt her daughter by doing something with another one of his girls she had dropped him.

In hind sight maybe it wasn't the right thing to do. She would be the first one to admit that the mating season usually had a strong effect on the humans as well as the Pokémon at the ranch. She would also admit that it was not his fault that all the sex addled minds of the Pokémon he cared for and cared for him were being drawn to him. This however was the third time now in just as many weeks that Devin's problem had adversely affected her daughter.

When they were finally back on the road she really hoped that the two of them could fix their relationship. But Devin needed to sit his girls down and let them know exactly where he stood with them on the whole mating thing. She knew he loved them all, and would do absolutely anything for them, including scratch that itch that they would all eventually have. However that little itch was creating a massive wound in the team's collective heart. It needed to be resolved and soon.

Lu dashed across the training area as she continued to ponder how best to help Devin with his team. Her main focus of course being that he fixed his relationship with Rio. A mother had her priorities, and Rio's desires and happiness was at the very top of that list. Off in the distance she could see the shade tree coming in to view. If she knew her daughter she would be seated right at the base of it.

Rio was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't hear or feel her mother's approach till she was sitting next to her with an arm around her shoulders. Rio leaned into her mother's embrace and broke down. Lu did her best to console her, rocking with her and whispering calming words to her.

"I just don't know what to do any more momma. Every time I turn around he has mated with someone else. That girlfriend of his, Platina, has had him three times now. Twice while I was in the vicinity. Abby tempted and seduced him, and still acts like she has laid claim to him. I know I should forgive her, she was just trying to save his life and their mating was an unforeseen side effect. But she has bonded to him I can see it in the way she looks at him and the way she is always right by his side. I know she is just waiting for the right time to mate with him again, but for real this time.Now Mocha has started to make advances on him, and he was in the process of taking her in the shower this morning. They denied it, but I could smell it. The smell of sex was as heavy in the air as the mist from the shower was.Drizzle won't let him forget that he promised her a sexual favor either. She always seemed so playful, and curious before. Now she is acting like the Ranch Tramp and is stalking him like her prey.Who's next? Star? Zhen? Am I going to have to share him with all of my sisters and his human girlfriend too? I don't know how much more of this I can take, momma. I'm ready to explode. I love him so much and I am losing him right in front of my eyes, and there isn't a thing I can do about it."

Lu continued to comfort her daughter as she worked really hard to push her own thoughts about Devin from her mind. She was also carefully putting her words together in her mind so that she could hopefully help both of her children out.

"Honey I honestly don't think that Devin is doing this to you on purpose. He loves you and cares for you deeply. He loves all of you girls deeply and would do anything for any one of you. His mating with you girls is just a part of it. He doesn't want to see any of you in pain. That is something you're going to have to accept. When Arceus bestows that "wonderful gift" upon you girls Devin will do whatever he can to help ease the pain and suffering as best he can. Even if he has to mate you girls himself.He is very much like his Aunt, they both believe in the old ways of training and bonding with their partners. They also know that the medications that exist for helping us with our heats are very dangerous to us, and they will never put our lives at risk for something like that. It is going to put stress on the teams bond with each other at first as each of you vie for his attention and affection. You all will try to show yourselves as the alpha female of his pack. But I can let you in on a little secret Dear. There already is an Alpha female to his pack, you. Oh for sure Mocha is the innocence of the team, Star is the determination, Zhen is the underlying strength, and Abby is the unbreakable will, you are the driving determination. I promise you that you are the most important girl in his life. You are his beginning and his end.Yes Platina has played a part in his life, they are childhood sweethearts, and nothing will ever erase the feelings they have for each other. If Devin ever settles down, it will be with her. If I know her she has already accepted how Devin feels about you girls as well. Yes Abby has gotten Devin, but like you said it was unintentional. Her plan was never to go as far as it did. She feels guilty about it too and has placed herself as his protector. Though you are correct as well in guessing that she has laid a claim to him and is waiting to make good on that claim. But I think she will wait as long as need be to make that move.Mocha is going through a really tough time right now. Her body has changed dramatically and she trying to come to terms with it, Devin too. They both know that she is on a razors edge when it comes to her hormones. One slip in the wrong direction and she may very well become a sex addict, and Devin doesn't want that for her. Mocha herself is unaware of what her body is doing to her and more often than not it is going to act on its own. She doesn't want to be that way either and is struggling more than ever to find her place in the team.As for your other two sisters only time will tell what they will do. Maybe they won't have any attraction to Devin other than Trainer and Partner. Drizzle on the other hand is hell-bent on getting Devin again. Her body too is playing tricks on her and that is partly Rose's fault. Drizzle is past the age where she should have found a life mate, and her body knows it. I'm sure her dirty mind wants Devin for its own perverted reasons, but it is more instinct with her.I guess all I can really tell you Honey is to not give up on Devin. He loves you the most and very deeply. It kills him every time he hurts you. You should really tell him how you feel it may do you both a world of good."

Together mother and daughter sat holding each other. They watched from the shade of the tree as the various water types lazed about in the pond, some of them even sunning themselves on the banks.

"I wish I could evolve so I could show him just how much I love him. I want that experience too. I want to make love to him, be with him in that way. Especially if that is what it would take for him to love me again. But I am just so mad at him. What should I do Momma."

Lu kissed the top of her head as she considered Rio's words.

"Making love with someone you love is one of the greatest experiences ever. It is something I hope you can experience some day. But it is something you don't want to rush into, no matter how much you think you want to or your body wants you to. Don't do anything you're going to regret later. Devin does love you you're just going to have to believe me on that."

Lu continued to hold and comfort her daughter as best she could. But her body and mind were starting to betray her again. She was taking her own words to heart and her desire for Devin started to blossom again. She was feeling just as confused and hurt as Rio was. But at the same time she dare not act on her desires, she didn't want to hurt Rio as well.

"Rio, when Devin gets back from his meeting I will speak with him and see if I can get him to understand."

"Thank you Momma."

Lu continued to cuddle her daughter, while her mind fought over what she wanted to do to Devin and what she needed to do for Devin. She hoped she could do what she needed to do without betraying either one of them.

Mauville City

Rose Kuroaki pulled her jeep to a stop in front of a large nonedescript building in down town Mauville City. Nothing gave the building away as being the headquarters of a worldwide organization. The Order of Eon was an organization dedicated to the protection and betterment of Eevee's and Eevee-lutions. She also knew that they researched ways to evolve Eevees.

"Here you go Devin. Do you know what it is the order wanted to talk to you about?" Rose asked.

"I have no idea. I know that when I left for my journey that the old man's health was starting to decline. Jerome is actually the one that summoned me here today."

Rose gave her nephew a funny look. She wasn't a member of the order by choice. But she had dealings a plenty with them, especially Jerome. He was slime as far as she was concerned. The man couldn't find his ass with both hands, and he was constantly hitting on her.

"You take it easy Devin, give me a call when you're done here."

Leaning over he gave her a brief hug and a quick peck on the cheek.

"Will do Aunt Rose, have fun visiting your friends."

With that Devin got out of the jeep and watched as Rose pulled away. He could have driven himself but she had insisted claiming that a few of her breeder buddies had wanted her to swing by and visit. She had also mentioned something about a new client wanting to discuss farming terms with her.

Devin turned back to the building and proceeded to make his way up the stairs. As he always did when he was summoned to the Order Devin had worn what qualified for his Sunday best. He was in a pair of black dress pants and a white button up shirt. His dress shoes clicked as they made contact with the stone stairs.

Entering the building Devin was once again stunned by the interior as he always was. The entrance hall was lined with giant stone relief sculptures of the Eevee-lutions. He admired all eight of the statues as he walked down the hall. Finally at the end of the hall he came upon the reception desk where a young woman was busy doing something on her computer. She looked right at him though when he approached.

"Ah Master Kuroaki, the rest of the masters are already here and waiting for you." She said with a polite smile.

"Rest of the masters, all of them are here? I thought I was just meeting with Jerome?"

"Oh no Master Kuroaki, it is a full assembly of the masters."

Devin wanted to turn around and walk out the building right then and there. Maybe even throw himself down the stone stairs and see how many times he could make his skull bounce on the way down. Instead he made his way to the large double doors and pushed them open.

The receptionist had been right; every master was present and sitting in their respective seats. The rest of the assembly was filled too with multiple representatives of the eight different branches. A podium was situated in front of the council members as well. Devin could easily guess where he was supposed to be, and made his way to the podium. He couldn't help but notice that Jerome was sitting in the old man's spot at the head of the masters.

"Master Kuroaki you are late." Jerome boomed into his microphone so the entire assembly could hear him. Devin wondered for a moment if did that on purpose to feel like he was important or something.

"My apologies fellow masters for making you wait. I was to understand this was going to be a privet meeting with Master Jerome and the Grand Master. Speaking of which, where is the Grand Master?"

"Ill, Master Kuroaki that is all you need know."

Devin took a deep breath to keep from walking right up to Jerome and slapping the arrogance right out of him. Instead Devin took several more deep breaths and a swallow of water from the glass that had been provided to him.

"What is the purpose of this full assembly meeting then today?" Devin asked once he was sufficiently calm.

"We are to understand you were recently in the captivity of a new world crime syndicate."

"That is true, they called themselves The Void."

"What can you tell us about them."

Devin was more than just a little confused but played along."They are led by a man calling himself Void. Its ranks seem to be filled with left over members of past crime syndicates such as Team Rocket and Team Galactic."

"And what is their purpose?"

"Void wants to rid the world of weak Pokémon and trainers that would interfere with their goals. Legendries' are no exception either. He also seems to want to destroy the League and rebuild it. For what purpose I do not know."

This seemed to cause quite a stir amongst all the people in the assembly. Uproarious conversations and debates broke out all around him. For his part Devin just stood there at his podium like a silent little island in a sea of chaos and anarchy. He heard several comments about his age tossed about and whether his report could be trusted since he was so young. He wanted to laugh, he wasn't some child that had been out on his adventure and mugged by some bullies. He was a legal adult that had been abducted and tortured by a criminal organization. He didn't have long to stay silent as Jerome finally brought the assembly back under control.

"Did this Void happen to say whether or not Eevee's or "The Order of Eon" was on their list of possible targets?"

"He didn't say, he was more interested in asserting his dominance over me, my team and my family."

"Are you certain Master Kuroaki?"

"He made no direct reference to the Order or about Eevees. Just that he wanted to eliminate weak Pokémon and trainers that would interfere."

Devin watched as Jerome sat back and had a privet conversation with the other masters. He heard the words experiments and the moving of facilities several times. Devin waited patiently for the Masters to get done discussing whatever it is that they were discussing. He observed that whatever it was they were talking about was getting rather heated. All at once they stopped talking and Jerome spoke again.

"This assembly of the Masters has decided it is in the Orders best interest to move further meetings, research materials, and experiments underground. From now on notice of future meetings will be held in secret and there locations kept secret till the day of the meeting. Those who travel further than others will be notified sooner. This meeting is adjourned."

The assembly exploded in protest. Members from all over were voicing their protests at the decision of the Masters. Devin's voice was the loudest.

"What is the meaning of this; you can't make a decision like that without all the Masters consent. Two are missing; The Grand Master and myself were not a part of that discussion. Furthermore what research materials and what experiments?"

The crowd continued to protest very loudly, the entire time Jerome was pounding his gavel on the block to silence the chamber. Eventually everyone settled down enough so that Jerome could be heard.

"As you were told earlier Master Kuroaki, the Grand Master is sick. As for you, your place as a Master is in question, that is why you were not a part of the decision-making process. Look at yourself, you are an impudent child who can't even be bothered to ware appropriate clothing to a meeting. You are young and inexperienced, just because you can speak to the Eevee's hardly qualifies you as a Master."

Devin was on the verge of losing his cool, and tried to maintain it as best he could.

"Young, and inexperienced. That may be true Jerome, but tell me this. Why am I the best in this assembly then? I am the best breeder, handler, and trainer of Eevee's and Eeveelutions. Not a one of you are even close to me in talent or knowledge."

Jerome slammed his gavel down so hard it snapped.

"You will show respect to this council and to this Order. You are dismissed Devin Kuroaki. Go and get your tattoo fixed, you are an embarrassment to yourself, the Grand Master, and this Order."

Devin didn't say a word, he just turned on his heels and stiffly walked out of the assembly. He smiled and nodded at the receptionist before he stormed down the hall and out of the building.

Streets of Mauville City

It wasn't quite mid-day when Devin stepped onto the sidewalk outside of the Orders building, but Devin was hot none the less. He should have known something like this was going to happen as soon as Jerome had called him in. The Rattata bastard had been pining for the Grand Masters position. It looked like he was finally making the move while the old man was down. If he didn't care so much about the innocent Eevees that would be hurt by the Orders blind studies to "better" the species he would leave the Order to its own destruction. Devin angrily turned towards the tattoo parlor the he knew was Order sanctioned.

Rose Kuroaki was sitting in a diner talking with some new business partners. She had a week spot for helping out small time farmers that were about to be run out of business. Not that she had anything against the League or its practices. She just didn't like when those practices wiped out the "little" guy.

That is one of the reasons her ranch was so big. She was constantly buying up more land so that more of it could be farmed for crops of berries and grains to feed not only the Pokémon but also supply various companies that made Pokémon chow. All at once her cell phone rang. Looking at the display she noticed that it was Devin calling. With a curt nod to her guest she answered.

"Well that didn't take long." Rose answered.

"No it didn't and the reason is much more complicated than I care to discuss on the phone." Devin sounded upset.

"Okay, well I am still having my meeting."

"That's fine Aunt Rose. I have to go down by Rex and have my tattoo redone anyways. Meet me there when you are done I guess."

With that they both hung up and went about their business. Several hours passed before Rose was able to get to the tattoo parlor in question. Walking in she could smell the disinfectant and hear the buzz of a tattoo gun.

"You know man, whoever did this to you sure did a good job. I am going to have to completely redo the Umbreon and the Vaporeon." She clearly heard Rex saying

"What have you been doing back there this whole time than?" Devin asked the grimace clear in his voice.

"Do you know how hard it is to tattoo over a scar man?"

"I can imagine based how much your digging, and how much it hurts."

"Oh stop being a baby."

There came a loud buzz and an even louder yell from Devin. Rose gave a slight smile. And entered the area where Rex was working on Devin. Devin was sitting backwards on a reclining chair, his bare back exposed to a big burly looking biker guy.

"Hey Rose, you finally here to let me tattoo that fine work of art you call a body?" Rex greeted Rose in his usual way.

Rose hugged the guy and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Maybe next time Rex, still having too much fun with those piercings I let you talk me in to."

Rex chuckled and went back to work. Concentration creased his brow as he did his work. Devin for his part was looking through some Pokémon magazine, every once in a while he would wince, but other than that he kept his eyes on the article in hand.

"Rex would you be a Dear and leave me and Devin alone for a while."

Rex put his tattoo gun down and stood up.

"Yep I need a break and I need to see my Smeargle about some more ink."

"How are they working out for you Rex?" Devin asked over his shoulder.

"Oh they are such dolls, I glad you talked me into them girls."

With that Rex left Rose and Devin to themselves. Devin heaved a deep sigh and sat up in his chair spinning it towards where Rose had sat down. Aunt and Nephew sat there looking at each other seriously. Quietly Rose got up and picked up the tattoo gun. Just as quietly Devin turned back around and Rose set to work.

"So what seems to be the problem with your team Devin? When you left the three of you were so happy and so close. When you caught Star you were a little sad about her losing her mother but excited at the same time because you saw so much potential in her. When you got Zhen you were angry at how she was treated and determined to do better."

Rose wiped away some blood from Devin's back and continued.

"I'm not saying that Abby is to fault for what is going on, but I do think she is a catalyst. So what do you think is happening?"

Devin thought about it for a moment before answering.

"It started before that even, I think. Rio was jealous of Amaya from the second she joined the party. I think that is where her problem started. There is nothing between us but friendship, but Rio saw her as competition.

In Sandgem Town Platina and I had a heartfelt conversation, that lead to a passionate night on the banks of Lake Verity, and after I beat Trevor to get Zhen I took her again in her own bed. Both times were spur of the moment, but Rio was close by. I am sure she felt something through our bond and it only served to strengthen whatever was eating her up inside.

I don't know exactly what happened but when Abby and I mated somehow Rio felt every second of it, explicitly. She has not forgiven Abby for that, or that she has stuck around so closely. I know Abby is just making sure nothing happens to me, but she has also laid a claim to me.

Now Mocha has evolved and whether she knows it or not she has started to make advances on me. I have read every credible report on Lopunny behavior, I have even read the incredible ones. All of them are telling me to retire her, fix her, drug her, or suffer her becoming a sex addict.

I don't want to retire her; she is useful in battle and irreplaceable in the camp. I don't want to fix her, she is not broken, and she may want children someday. Who am I to deny her that? Drugs are completely out of the question. There isn't a one that will not do her more harm than good. She is so full of life, but I can't stand to watch her hurt herself.

This brings me back to the core problem. I realize that this is one of the two major mating seasons and the overabundance of pheromones in the air has always messed with the humans. This however has gotten out of control. Rio wants something from me, but she doesn't know what. Mocha wants me, but it will destroy her. Abby wants me again just to see if what she feels for me is real. Drizzle wants me again, but I think it is her body screaming at her that she is way past due to have a life mate.

I think the only two that don't want to jump my bone is Star and Zhen. If I remember my studies correctly the Luxray tree actually matures that way by age so only time will tell what Star is going to be like with that. Though I do wish she would loosen up already and stop being so damn shy.

Zhen my poor baby Zangoose. I don't think she will ever want to mate because of what Trevor did to her. I'm sure her body will demand it of her, but I doubt she will want to. I cannot help but look at her and want to break down crying every time. No matter what I do she is always scared, always timid, and has absolutely no self-worth.

Every time I think I have made progress something else happens to tear her down. She was cornered and propositioned by Boss Zangoose the other day. Him and his thugs tried to force themselves on her. She snapped and killed them. Then went into shock. I want to take away her bad past, and let her live a life of peace and happiness like a normal Zangoose."

Rose stopped doing what she had done for a second to look at her handy work before starting back up again or replying to what Devin had said.

"It's just the way that we are Devin. We are practitioners of the old ways. In a time before there were chemicals and electronics to make our lives simple Trainers and Breeders had to deal with the same things.

We had to actually build our relationships with our partners. We had to be able to discover and deal with whatever was hurting our Pokémon or causing them pain and discomfort. Back then it was common for Trainers to have sexual relationships with their team members.

Now as for your teams problems. Rio's jealousy is understandable, your bond with each other runs deeper than either of you knows. Her desire for you is not physical yet, it's mental. There is something in the back of her consciousness that is telling her that she wants, and needs something more from you. It is this same whisper that is making her jealous of any and all new females in your life.

Also because of your deep bond with each other it is no surprise she felt everything you felt when you and Platina had sex. It also doesn't surprise me that the sensation was amplified for her as well when Abby and you had your fling. All of this combined has hurt her because she can feel what she wants to do with you yet has not done it with you. Essentially she has had sex with you vicariously through you. For now we will leave it at that, and come back to her in a minute.

Abby has placed herself as your protector. I can see when I watch her. She feels guilt for what she has done to you, and put you through. Oh don't misunderstand me she does not regret mating with you in the least, but she wishes that it would have been consensual on both of your parts. She has also imprinted on you so to speak. She desires only you and is faithful to only you. If need be she will wait for you forever to have you again. Think of it as life mating, though I don't know if Absols' life mate or not. Because of this she has laid a claim to you that she makes sure that everyone can see. Just observe her sometime and you will see what I mean.

Mocha is no major trick. All that you need to do is control her desires and control your own. This is simpler than you may think. Forget what you have read about Lopunny; instead focus on what you know about her. She will do whatever you wish her to do, and she will love every second of it because she loves you and loves helping you.

Think about it. She is kind and gentle; she hates battling, but does it anyway because you ask her to. She loves to help you in the camp does she not? I have a saying I want you to take to heart, and it is a saying that has helped me deal with Lopunny I've had.

Give a Lopunny a carrot and you satisfy her for a moment. Give a Lopunny a purpose and you satisfy her for a life time.

You need to find a permanent role for her in your team, and let her do it on her own. Let her focus solely on that, and her desires will be kept largely under control. Oh I'm sure there will be flare ups, and you will have to comfort her through them. Don't be afraid to mate her after you have given her a purpose and she has taken to the role. I do not think that she will become a sex addict.

I don't know what to tell you about Star. I think you may need to spend more time with her to break her out of her shell. You are also correct about the Luxray tree in its maturity style. It does go by real age and not evolutionary status. But you may want to have a DNA profile done on her. I think she maybe a pure bred, she definitely as all the indications of it.

Now as for Zhen, I wouldn't give up hope on her Devin. She is completely capable of living a perfectly normal, and happy life. You are going to have to help her out a lot more before she gets that far. She is a little fighter and a survivor too. I have also noticed that she is quite smitten with you as well, though she does a great job hiding it. I think hiding her feelings is something she had to do entirely way too often so she is not used to having them on display for everyone to see. But give her time and she will shine as bright as any star in the sky."

The two of them lapsed in to silence as Rose gave Devin a few minutes to absorb what they had just said to each other. Devin for his part was also going over in his head what he needed to do for his girls to get this mess all sorted out before they got back on the road. Rose for her part continued to work on Devin's back while she formed the words in her mind for what she was going to say next.

"Devin I need your help with a problem of my own." She suddenly just blurted out.

Devin could almost guess what was coming next but decided to play along for his Aunts sake.

"What do you need help with Aunt Rose?"

"It's Lu, her heat has gone on three weeks longer than it should have and it is really starting to put a strain on her mind and body. Have you seen how skinny she has become? It is causing her to lose sleep now too."

Devin knew everything his Aunt had just told him, but again he played the ignorant.

"Have you taken her to a Pokémon center? Maybe Nurse Joy would know what is going on."

"I think her body is actually demanding a "Males touch" if you will excuse the terminology. Her body is actually craving the enzymes and nutrients of male ejaculate."

"Is that normal?" Devin was actually curious about this.

He knew that same-sex mating's happened in the wild, it wasn't strictly a human thing. But after an extended period of time would a Pokémon's body actually need said enzymes, proteins, and nutrients? He felt his Aunt hesitate.

"Honestly I don't know. I've cross referenced my findings with other breeder's findings. I've consulted other experts in the field. All of our findings are inconclusive. So like I said it is just a theory."

Rose went back to work once again trying to form the right words to ask her nephew what she needed to do.

"I love Lu deeply, it is something you will someday understand if you don't already, and I want her pain to end. I have seen the way she has looked at you ever since Voids hideout. And though she doesn't know it I can also feel her desire for you."

She felt Devin tense, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"So she has a approached you, or made an advancement on you?"

"I uh... I mean we uh... Shit." Devin stuttered hanging his head.

"It's okay, I would rather not know. The sacrifices we must make for our Pokémon lovers."

They were silent again for a bit. Rose was lost in thought over whether she really wanted Devin to help or not. Devin on the other hand was waiting for his Aunt to ask him what she knew she was going to ask him to do.

"Devin I want you to help Lu Break her heat. Sometime really soon, like tonight." Rose just suddenly blurted out.

"What!?" Devin couldn't help but blurt out himself.

He actually expected her to beat around the bush a bit more.

"I want you to mate Lu, tonight, to break her heat."

"Why me, why not just have one of the studs?"

"She won't have it that way, especially after Rio's father..." Rose couldn't finish the statement.

Devin turned to face his Aunt. For the first time Rose Kuroaki looked small, and fragile to him. She had just bared all to him in a hopes to help the one she loved most.

"I am not comfortable with this at all Aunt Rose. This is so wrong. We will be betraying you, we will be betraying Rio, and we will be betraying each other. I don't like it."

Rose averted her eyes and hung her head. She was so ashamed of herself and felt so dirty for even asking him what she had. She just loved Lu so much and wanted her pain to end. She was so wrapped up in herself that she almost missed what Devin said.

"I'll do it. I completely understand where you are coming from. I just have a few requests."

"And what would those be?"

"I am going to need a few things to make this special for her, candles and what not."

"Okay, what else?"

"I need you to somehow make sure Rio remains oblivious to what is going to happen tonight."

"Done I'll get right on that. Give me a call when Rex is done with you."

With that Rose got up, kissed her nephews cheek and left. Rex came back in a minute later and got back to work, complementing Rose for what she had done on his back.

Kuroaki Ranch

It was late afternoon, maybe about 6:00, when Rose and Devin pulled up to the main house. Devin had opted to not put his shirt back on, exposing his back to the open air felt good. His back would be healed with in a day or two, but it would still ache for a bit. At least that is what Rex had told him.

The jeep came to a stop in front of the house. All of Rose, Devin, Amaya, and Blaze's Pokémon were standing outside and looking anxiously at the kitchen door. So intent on the house were they that they almost didn't notice that Rose and Devin were back. It wasn't till Rose spoke that every spun around and saw them.

"What's going on guys?" Rose asked as she noticed that Happy was not amongst her team.

As one they turned at looked at Aunt and Nephew, it was kind of creepy how coordinated it seemed to be. Not as creepy though as all of them charging at the same time though. Rose and Devin found themselves suddenly surrounded by their 'Mon, in the case of Rio, in Devin's arms, and they were all talking at the same time. It wasn't till Devin knelt to Zhen's insistent tugging on his pant leg that he made any kind of sense out of what was going on.

"Flower okay?" Zhen asked with heavy sorrow in her voice and tears in her eye.

It was at that point that Amaya came rushing out of the house all excited.

"Rose, Devin I am so glad you are back!" Amaya all but yelled in a rush.

"Calm down Amaya, what's going on?" Rose asked perhaps a little more sternly than she intended.

"Flower has started going into labor."

Rose looked from the excited teen, to the excited Pokémon, and finally to the house.

"Lu I want you and Fin to take the rest of the 'Mon to the training area for a while." Rose ordered.

"Yes Rose." Lu responded with a slight nod

"Mocha I want you to stay." Devin said turning her back to the house.

As everyone left to do what they had been told Devin grabbed Lu by the arm and brought her close enough for her only to hear what he had to say. He even leaned in to whisper in her ear to make sure only she heard.

"After everyone has gone to bed tonight wait one hour and then meet me where our feelings for each other changed forever." With that he gave her a slight peck on the cheek and headed into the house.

When he got inside it was to the site of a very cleaned up and cleaned out kitchen. Rose was telling Blaze to get various things, to which he was just nodding and complying. Amaya and Mocha were standing together looking decidedly out-of-place and nervous. And in the center of the floor was a large wooden box full of newspapers and old towels, Flower happily panting away in the middle of it.

"Oh hey Devin." Blaze said in greeting as he came back in.

"As I was telling Aunt Rose, I was making every one dinner when Flower's water broke. Got everything cleaned up and moved out, as well as the litter box. Flower seems to be doing fine, but you two are the experts. Otherwise she has been doing the happy mommy pants for about an hour and Pitch has stood over her the entire time."

It was at this time that Devin indeed noticed that Pitch was standing protectively over Flower. Devin wasn't about to tell the Umbreon to move either. Happy was standing by in case something went wrong.

Flower gave a little yelp and Devin knew that it was time to go to work, it was his game now. Pulling some rubber gloves from his Aunts birthing kit that she kept in the house for occasions such as this Devin knelt next to the box and gave Flower a reassuring scratch.

"Mocha I need you to go and grab some more old towels and a few rages. Blaze I need the trash can over here please."

Mocha gave herself a mental shake and all but leapt into action. Blaze retrieved the trash can as asked and placed a bright red bio waste bag into it. Flower gave another yelp and her tiny face scrunched up. Like the old pro she was Flower knew what to do and started to push.

It wasn't long at all and the first Eevee pup was born. Like a good mother Flower gave a few licks to break the membrane sack the puppy was in, and then gave a sharp nip to cut the umbilical cord. Devin quickly cleaned off the pup, clearing its air ways and passed it off to Rose then quickly disposed of the after birth before Flower could eat it. Rose for her part quickly got the pup breathing, then weighed measured and recorded the gender before handing it back to Devin who lined the pup up with one of Flowers swollen teats. Devin always found it amusing to watch a new-born Eevee pup snorkel about for its mother's teat for the first time.

The process repeated itself six more times without incident. Each pup was born five to fifteen minutes apart from each other. Flower was a very happy Eevee mother, to the point that Devin had to retie her ever stone around her neck. Devin and Rose were not happy though. Her ultra sounds had shown eight pups, so they waited. As the hour mark hit Devin was starting to get very nervous.

"Don't worry too much Devin; Eevee can go up to 2 hours between pups." Rose tried to reassure her Nephew.

"I know Aunt Rose, but Flower never has. I think her longest was 45 minutes at best."

"Accidents happen in the birthing process and puppies are lost. The customer will just have to..."

"Fuck the customer!" Devin snapped.

"I've met them. They're stuck up arrogant asses!"

Devin looked back into the box at the new Eevee mother. No matter how many times she went through it, Flower always looked so happy and pleased afterwards. Like she knew that her children were going to be making some one else's life better and more complete. Devin ran a gentle hand the full length of Flowers body. He knew she wasn't done yet either. Like all Pokémon when she was done she would have gotten up and headed outside for a quick potty break before coming back in and curling up with her pups. Flower was still just lying there happily panting away.

With a grimace and a sharp yelp Flower announced her final push. Devin and Rose both watched as Flower actually labored at having this last pup. Devin for his part kept giving her reassuring words of encouragement. When there was enough of the pup out Devin gently took it in hand and helped it the rest of the way.

Exhausted Flower relaxed into the box. Devin worked hard and fast to remove the sack from the pup and cut its cord. The pup was unresponsive and cold to the touch.

Devin hurridly passed the pup off without cleaning it. Rose took the pup and with the corner of a cloth cleared as much fluid from its mouth and nose as she could. The pup was still unresponsive. Flower gave a plaintive cry as Devin and Rose struggled to save the pup. On a thought Rose took a little plunger from her bag. Depressing the bulb she stuck the end in the pups nose and slowly released the bulb sucking up what she may have missed. She repeated the process with its other nostril and mouth. As a last resort Rose started to softly stroke its backs and sides. With a cute little cough and wheeze the pup started breathing and squeaking.

Everyone gave a deep sigh of relief. Carefully Devin set the pup into the box. Five minutes later Flower did exactly as Devin had predicted she got out of the box went outside and relieved herself. Crawling back into the box each of the pups snorkeled back up to their mother. With a contented sigh Flower curled around her children, and Pitch curled around her. All was good in the Kuroaki kitchen.

Sometime Latter

Devin stepped under the steady flow of hot water that was coming out of the shower head and let it cascade down his body. After the long day he had it felt great to stand there and let the days tension get washed away. He had avoided a disastrous situation with Mocha, had avoided being raped out in the open by Lu, Had survived a meeting with the Order of Eon, had gotten his tattoo fixed, had a heart-felt talk with his Aunt, and had successfully helped Flower deliver her sixth litter. After that he had eaten and went to the fighting type barn to prepare it for this evening.

All things considered it had been a good day. For now he just wanted to get cleaned up and spend a little time with his girls before he helped Lu out. He ducked his head under the shower head and contemplated how best to do that. Yeah he could just rail her a few times and be done with it. However he would then be no better than Rio's father. He decided to put it out of his mind for now, and go with the flow latter. All he needed to do was make sure she had the time of her life.

Devin started to clean himself, he was actually surprised how much dirt he had collected over the course of the day. Especially considering this was his third shower of the day. As he was cleaning himself he could help but feel that he was being watched.

He opened the curtains and looked out into the bathroom half expecting to see Rio, Abby, or Mocha. Instead he saw nothing out of the ordinary. So he ducked back in to the shower and got back to work. Still he couldn't shake the feeling.

As he turned around to face the head of the tub, the end furthest from the faucet he was not surprised at all to see Drizzle lounging there just looking at him. She had an impish grin on her face and licked her lips hungrily before she spoke.

"By all means Devin don't stop on my account, keep going.""Drizzle what in the hell are you doing here? This is twice now that you have barged in on me in the tub."

"Well I figured after your long hard day that you would want a nice relaxing shower. I thought I would offer my services with that relaxing."

He couldn't help but notice how she dramatically dragged out the words long and hard.

"No Drizzle I am fine, I'll be doing plenty of relaxing latter."

Drizzle made a showing of being disappointed.

"Well maybe then you could give me a repeat performance of what you did for Lu last night?"

Devin gave Drizzle a suspicious look.

"How do you know what happened last night?"

"I was in the sink rehydrating just minding my business when you came in with Star, Flower, and Pitch. Imagine my surprise when you stopped at Roses door, fell to your knees and pulled out your big boy. I didn't know what was going on till I looked past you and right at Lu. Poor girl, some on should really help her out."

"Make your point Driz." Devin said a little more cross than he intended, but he was getting really tired of Drizzle's antics.

"I want you to pay up Devin. I'm tired of you putting me off.""I said I would, didn't I? It's not like I'm going anywhere any time soon."

"I want you now!"

They both just stood there glaring at each other. Devin clenching and unclenching a fist he hadn't even realized he had made, while Drizzle lashed her tail a few times, both showing their agitation with the other. All at once Devin's features softened as he looked down at the Vaporeon in front of him.

"What's the matter Drizzle, the real matter, not that I am not paying up? You used to be so much fun to be around. Always smiling, always curious, always playful. What happened that you have become so obsessed with mating with me of all beings?"

Devin watched as Drizzle's ears and fin drooped all of it adding to her hanging her head and no longer looking Devin in the eyes.

"I am terribly lonely. I have no one my age to play with any more because everyone has found their life mates. Rose doesn't use me for battles and she doesn't compete in pageants or competitions anymore. I sit around all day doing nothing. I get so bored and frustrated. I want to run about and play again but there is no one to play with."

With that Drizzle collapsed to the floor of the tub, burying her face in her front paws as she cried her blue eyes out. Devin felt like an utter ass. Taking a seat on the floor of the tub as well he scooped the sobbing water type into his arms to comfort her. She nuzzled right up to him and continued to cry. He just let her as he gently ran a hand down her back over and over again.

"Have you talked to Aunt Rose about this Drizzle?"

"No she seems quite adamant about keeping me in competition form."

"You need to talk to her Drizzle. You are past the age where you should have found a life mate. I'm not calling you old, but your body knows what it wants and it is effecting you in negative ways."

Drizzle just laid there in Devin's arms thinking about what he had just said. He was right of course she was past the age of finding a life mate. Still didn't change the fact that she wanted Devin inside of her at least one more time before she found one. He was also right that she needed to talk to Rose about her problems.

"You are right Devin; I shall talk to Rose about this in the morning. I still want you to keep your promise though."

Devin chuckled and kissed the top of her head.

"Of course I will. Now off with you I have to finish getting ready."

Drizzle got off his lap and retook up her place lying at the head of the tub. Devin as well stood back up and returned to the matter at hand.

"So what are you getting ready for?"

"I'm going to help Lu take care of her problem."

"Oh does Rose know about this?" A hint of her mischievousness coming back into her voice.

"Aunt Rose asked me to do it."

Drizzle's mouth hit the floor of the tub. Devin just laughed at her, turned off the water and got out of the tub.
