This is a moemon story that I have created in hopes to bring some enjoyment as much as some of the other moemon stories have for me. It will include lemons (perhaps not as heavy as some), and I think a fair amount of plot. If you read, let me know what you think!

The sun was setting in the distance, causing the flooding light coming in through the window to slowly recede. Through the window showed a magnificent lab that had several research documents and different machinery. The room was quiet and only two people remained. A man with black hair and wearing a lab coat, who was slumped against the desk, clearly nodding off. The other was a boy, about the age of eighteen, who was cleaning up some of the disorganized documents that had been scattered throughout the course of the day. The boy smirked as he saw the professor slumped against his work desk. He then walked to where the professor was nearly slept and nudged his shoulder. The professor jumped slightly at this, fully waking up, "Oh, what? Oh, Alexander, sorry. I dozed off there for a moment."

Alexander kept smirking, "Why don't you go home then Professor Sycamore. It's getting late, and besides, if you're that tired then you probably should call it a day." Professor Sycamore looked between Alexander and his work, feeling conflicted. Then the conflict was settled and he got up from his desk, "Very well Alexander, I'll get going. Can I trust you to lock up?"

"Of course Professor Sycamore, it's not like you hired me yesterday."

The professor chuckled, "Very true. Don't stay too late then Alexander, I will see you tomorrow." Professor Sycamore walked from his chair to the door and put his lab coat on a coat hanger, exchanging it for his other coat. He waved to Alexander and went out the door, closing it behind him. Alexander sighed as he now had the lab to himself. He kept picking up papers off the floor and organizing the ones that had managed to stay on the desk throughout the day. Finally, when the entire lab area seemed to be picked up, Alexander went for the door. When he opened the door however, the stack of papers closest to it blew to the ground from a sudden gust of wind. Alexander sighed and knelt down to pick up the papers once again.

When he started to though, he found a folder amongst them labeled "X" that he hadn't remembered seeing before. He opened it, looking inside. There were several documents inside, all of which were labeled "X" in the top corner. Alexander read through a few of them, only to discover that they were specific research studies by Professor Sycamore himself. The professor was an expert with moemon, who were mysterious girls with distinct traits, powers, and capabilities in this world. People who were legal adults were allowed to essentially own them, for whatever purposes they wanted. It got dark sometimes, but Alexander always felt that the world couldn't be as cruel as people made it out to be. He didn't officially own a moemon himself simply because he had busied himself with assisting Professor Sycamore for the last two years, but he probably wouldn't be as cruel as some people could be.

As he got deeper into the research, Alexander quickly put together that "X" was referring to a specific moemon. He kept reading, deep in thought. Which moemon could the Professor be referring to? There aren't too many moemon that start with the letter X except...His thoughts were abruptly interrupted as he got to the back of the folder, finding a photograph. The rest of the papers along with the folder hit the ground a second time that evening as Alexander dropped them. He held the picture gingerly in his hand as his brain and heart processed the shock. It was a picture of a girl standing next to a tree, her back to the photo. She wore a dress that was a deep shade of royal blue, the same shade as her hair that descended down to her heels. Upon her head, however, were a pair of large antlers that were seemingly decorated with crystals as they glowed different colors in the picture's sunlight. Alexander's mind went numb and a single word breathed out of his mouth, "Xerneas." Alexander then took the photo and putting it back in the folder along with the rest of the papers. He ran home, carrying the folder in his arms.

Alex opened the door to his house and closed it behind him, clutching the folder by the rim. He carried it so that it wouldn't get bent, but made sure that he wouldn't loose a single document. He sighed and went straight upstairs to his room. In his room wasn't messy, but it was fairly cluttered. His bed was rarely made and there were typically papers on the floor. Alex went straight for his computer and turned it on, setting the folder on top of more papers beside him.

He typed on his computer and searched through the various data files that he had collected over the past years. Sightings, legends, information, all on the legendary moemon Xerneas. He got up as the computer was loading and turned to a board he had on the other side of his room. It was covered with newspaper reports, real and conspiracy topics, pointing to one another with streaks of marker. At the center was one word. Alex had been searching for anything on this moemon for years, his interest and drive had only started to fade a few months ago. Until now.

"Alex!"

Alexander turned around just in time before being tackled and knocked over. It was the moemon that had been in Alex's care for a year now. He didn't officially own her as a trainer, but he might as well have since he had been looking over her for quite a while. It was a Fletchling named Felicity, who was shorter than Alexander and had a young face. She had short red hair with a warm smile and blue eyes that were full of excitement and wonder. Instead of hands, she had long, grey wings attached to her arms that stretched out to about a wingspan. She had a thin, bird-like frame with black talon feet and small breasts. She was wearing a large white tank top and short jeans that ended at the thigh. Alex felt the heat rise to his cheeks when he saw that she had forgotten to wear a bra, forgot to zip up her shorts, and was currently on top of him.

"Alex! Alex, Alex, Alex!"

"Felicity! What're you doing?!" Alex exclaimed, still reeling from all of Felicity's bountiful energy.

"I didn't hear you come home and I wanted to say...to say...I forgot." she said, her smile fading for a moment before reappearing. "Anyhow, welcome back!"

"Ug, well, thank you Felicity." Alex said, blushing as he tried to keep his eyes on her face. "Would you mind getting off of me?"

"Getting off...oh! Sure!" She stayed there for a moment, looking at Alex's face before speaking again. "Whoa, Alex! When did you get home?"

"Felicity, I just go-"

"Well welcome home Alex!"

"Thank you Felicity, now can you get off me?"

"Off you...oh, okay, sure!"

They stayed there for another few seconds, in silence.

"Hey! Alex! Welco-"

"Felicity! Get off me! Then you can welcome me home!"

"Alright alright." The bird moemon one got off of Alex and sat on the floor next to him, smiling expectantly with her legs spread out. Alex took his time and got up slowly, watching Felicity. When he stood up straight, he nodded to her slowly.

"Welcome home Alex!"

"Thank you Felicity," Alex said while he caught his breath. "Did you try your medication today?"

"Medication...medication...um...what medication?"

Alex sighed, "I'll take that as a no."

"No? No what?"

"Nothing." Alex muttered, as his heart sagged with sorrow and slight frustration.

Felicity had been found on the back lawn of Professor Sycamore's lab. She had been beaten up really badly. Alex could still remember her on the ground, scratches and wounds all over her naked body with her hair practically gone, a big gash on her head. Her wings had most of their feathers torn out and she had been barely breathing. It had nearly looked like she had let a lawn mower go over her. She had managed to recover physically, but she had some persistent mental issues. Most bird moemon were called bird-brained for a reason, but Felicity could barely remember a thing. She remembered her name along with simple objects, but when came to what she was doing and what she had been doing she kept forgetting constantly. After treating her for a year, Alex and the professor had realized that while she never remembered the professor's name, she could always remember Alex's. The Professor had taken this seriously and asked that Alex take care of her at home whenever he wasn't working with him. Things hadn't significantly improved since then, as Alex was reminded of now.

"Felicity, I need to speak to you about something."

"Okay." she said, completely oblivious of the atmosphere in the room.

"I may need to leave you for a while."

"Leave me!" Felicity exclaimed, no longer happy. "How come?"

Alex ran his hand through his hair, "Do you remember the moemon I've been looking for?"

"Moemon...that Alex looks for...hmmm...Oh! Oh!"

"You remember?"

"Remember? Remember what?"

"Ug." Alexander sighed as he knelt down and patted her head. "I basically need to go look for someone. Someone really important to me. It's im-por-tant."

Felicity made a hard thinking face, as if to keep focused on what Alex was saying, "Important...important...Oh! You're important to me Alex!"

"Thank you Felicity, you're important to me too," Alex said as Felicity smiled bashfully in response, "but this is important to me too. I need to go."

Felicity frowned again, but then her face lit up again, "Take me with you!"

"Wait, what?"

"Alex needs to go to...to...to important! So Felicity can go with Alex to important!"

Alex made a sympathetic smile, touched with Felicity's commitment, "I'm not so sure about that Felicity, it'll be dangerous."

"Dangerous...dangerous...what is dangerous again?"

"Um...scary."

"Oh right...well then I'll stay with you then Alex! Cause then you won't be dangeroused."

Alex raised an eyebrow, thinking for a second on what Felicity was trying to say, "Are you sure Felicity? The world is a lot different than this house."

Felicity looked directly up and then around the house, "It's okay. My home is with you Alex."

"Alright then." Alex smiled, feeling better about taking Felicity with him. He went to his desk and picked up Felicity's moeball. He went back over to Felicity and raised it over her head.

"You ready?" Alex asked.

"Yes."

"Good."

"Wait...ready for what?"

Alex sighed, "You're gonna come with me to important, remember?"

"Oh, right! I'm ready!"

Alex tapped her head with the device and a low flash of red, she disappeared. Alex looked at her moeball, hoping that he was making the right decision about bringing her along. He turned back to the computer and the files he had taken from Professor Sycamore's lab, feeling angry about how he had been in the dark...

The next morning, Professor Sycamore arrived late to the lab, "I'm sorry Alexander, I accidentally slept in."

Alexander didn't say a word, he had gotten to the lab an hour earlier than usual. He held a backpack in his arms as he sat in one of the few chairs in the lab's room, "It's fine professor. May I ask you about something?"

The professor nodded, a smile spreading across his face, "Of course!"

"What is this?"

"What is what?" Professor Sycamore asked, looking around his lab for what Alexander was referring to.

"This." Alexander pulled the folder out of the backpack in his arms and set it on the floor in front of him. The professor glanced down and saw the folder, his eyebrows rising suddenly, "That...is...an old research topic that I used to work on."

"And you never decided to mention this with me?!"

The professor tried to keep his mask of innocence on, "Well, I only started looking into this matter recently."

Alexander abruptly opened the folder and pulled out the photograph, "This photo was taken more than a year ago. Furthermore, more than half of these documents are dated nearly three years ago! You told me that you had never even looked into the legendary moemon Xerneas!"

The tense air slowly settled as Professor Sycamore took a seat opposite of Alexander, looking at him with sympathy and guilt, "Your right. I am sorry for lying to you about this, but I figured that it would be best to keep your mind off the subject. That way, neither you or me would have to deal with...your current mindset."

Alexander stopped himself after that, realizing that he being unreasonably angry. He took a deep breath, "I'm sorry professor, I just wish you could've told me."

"I was trying to figure out when the right time to tell you, but I wasn't able to decide anything. Besides, your help is greatly appreciated here!" The professor proclaimed.

Alexander smiled, knowing that Professor Sycamore wasn't lying about that. The professor got up from his seat and walked to the window and stared out it, seemingly deep in thought. He then turned back to Alexander, "However, I think...you still shouldn't go searching for Xerneas. A journey like that can be dangerous, and not always for the reasons you might believe."

"I need to go. These files have given me something I haven't felt in a long time...hope, with a belief that there's a possibility Xerneas is out there and can be found."

The professor looked weary and nervous with Alex was saying, but nodded nonetheless, "I can understand that. But I don't want you going alone. You've become like a son to me."

"I'm taking Felicity with me."

"Felicity!? Are you...sure that's a good idea?"

"I think it'll be okay. She was pretty insistent on coming with me"

The professor thought for a moment, "Well, that's the most decision making she made considering she agreed to essentially travel with world with you. However...I think there should be someone else going with you other than Felicity."

Alex's face lit up with confusion, "Surely you don't mean yourself professor?"

He chuckled, "No I don't, I mean, perhaps it would be best to take another moemon."

"You mean one of the starters?" Alex asked. "Don't you have new trainers coming tomorrow?"

"The day after," Professor Sycamore replied, "but besides, there are only two trainers coming. Both of them have requested a specific starter, so you can just take the third."

The professor got up, excited, and went under one of his desks, pulling out a bag. Alex could already see the three moeballs for starter trainers as Professor Sycamore pulled out one specifically and held it out to Alex.

"Go ahead. Take it, she's got some issues with people but she makes up for that with spirit."

Alex took up the moeball from Professor Sycamore, his heart beating with anticipation, and pressed the button.
