Disclaimer: I own none of the Pokémon in this series, nor do I own a handful of appearing characters, all of those belong to Nintendo/Game Freak/4kids. Any other characters belong to me
So, I feel like I need to set a few ground rules, the only reason trainers can carry around six Pokémon is because of a universal law, but if you happen to be a high-ranking official for the law, you can be exempt from that rule (only in this universe, though) just like that four move limit, just another law from the government that you can also be exempt of due to your job title. Also, in this universe Eevee can now learn Hyper Beam, because this is my story and I can do what I want. Finally, this is my first fanfic, I have no idea if it's actually good or not, and I really hope you enjoy.
Eevee nuzzled her head into the back of Kaelyn's calf, making her giggle at the sensation. She leaned down and scratched the top of Eevee's head and quickly fed her a bite of a granola bar.
"Are you two going to get up or not? We need to go, the streets are about to fill up," Ryder leaned against their apartment door with Zorua, both waiting for the girls.
"Okay, just let me grab my phone," Kaelyn rushed into their bedroom, and Eevee bounded over to Ryder and Zorua, the two Pokémon quickly nuzzled and Kaelyn returned to scoop up Eevee. She gave Ryder a quick kiss on the cheek, before being ushered out of the apartment, still holding Eevee, with Ryder and Zorua on her heels.
They hurriedly rushed out of their apartment building and stopped on the sidewalk. Kaelyn rested Eevee down on the ground and Zorua pranced over to stand beside her. Eevee glanced to the side at Zorua and affectionately licked his cheek, both Ryder and Kaelyn chuckled at the two Pokémon. Ryder squatted down and told the Pokémon, "now, because this sidewalk and these streets are about to get super busy, you two have to go in your Poke-balls, okay?"
Both Pokémon pouted but didn't put up a fight when their trainers summoned them into their Poke-balls. Ryder stood back up and wrapped a protective arm around his girlfriend's shoulders, she kissed him quickly then looked at all of the advertisements flashing around them, living in Castelia City meant you were never out of the glow of marketing and entertainment. There were constant ads for musicals and food products moving around on the sides of buildings. Both lovers looked over to the Ribbon Cup Headquarters, where an ad for a new men's clothing line just started playing.
They started walking along the sidewalk towards a relatively new park in the city where they were to meet Liz, Ryder's twin sister and Kaelyn's best friend. Liz, or Elizabeth, had won the Ribbon Cup three years in a row, and she was training to make this year her fourth consecutive win.
They eventually got to the park and saw Liz sitting on a bench, her Fennekin playing around her feet. She liked around and saw the couple watching her and rushed over to hug Kaelyn, "hey, Lizzie," she chuckled. Liz' golden blonde hair tickled her nose, she was so short, unlike her twin who was quite tall. Then again, the two looked nothing alike, the only evidence of them being twins other than their birthdays were their eyes, those were identical down to the last olive fleck. Otherwise the twins couldn't be more different in appearance, Ryder had fiery red hair, unlike Liz' blonde hair; they had completely different noses and mouths; Ryder's features were striking and defined, making him insanely handsome, while, on the other hand, Liz' features were soft, gentle, pretty. You could say Ryder was like a Jolteon and Liz was like Sylveon, in fact, their father said that exact thing.
Kaelyn had shiny, hazelnut hair and deep blue eyes like a Jumpluff. She was of average height and had natural curves, but in other places, like her arms and stomach, she was thin and toned. She had similar facial features to Liz, but had plumper lips and lacked dimples. Her eyes were much more catlike and seductive while Liz' were innocent like a doe. She had been hailed as being extremely beautiful by men and women alike and knew she was a person countless people lusted after. Her looks and friendship with Ryder were the only way she would've been able to date such a handsome and muscular man. When they were all teenagers, Kaelyn had noticed that Liz' body and face seemed to just be a much more innocent version of her own.
Liz pulled away from Kaelyn and was pulled into a bear hug by Ryder, who even picked her up off the ground a little bit. He put her back down and she looked at them quizzically. "What?" Ryder asked in confusion.
"Where are Eevee and Zorua, Fennekin was looking forward to playing with them…"
"Oh yeah," Kaelyn muttered as she pulled Eevee's Poke-ball from her pocket and let her back out. Eevee squealed in delight to being out of her confines, and, upon noticing Fennekin, rushed over to her, they both immediately started to chase each other and chatter away.
Ryder also sent out Zorua, who joined the two female Pokémon and both started chasing him once he got within five feet of them. All three of them laughed quickly then Liz said, "so, can I show you guys my new routine with Pachirisu?"
"Sure, but only if I get to kidnap Amelia later," Kaelyn said.
Ryder sighed and muttered, "you know, there are times when I think you like my niece even more than me…."
"She's so adorable, though," Kaelyn looked up at her boyfriend with a small smile.
"She has to be, I'm her mom for God's sake," Liz said and threw her hair off of her shoulder. The other two laughed again and Liz sent out Pachirisu, "Pachirisu, Light Screen!" The Pokémon immediately followed her orders and was surrounded by a shimmering wall of light.
Both Ryder and Kaelyn watched intently as Pachirisu then performed Rain Dance and the world darkened. Pachirisu created what looked like a small sun by using Electro Ball, it was left suspended in the air, a glimmering beacon, leading passers-by to flock towards the presentation. Pachirisu then used Thunderbolt, the mass amount of electricity visible as the Pokémon charged the attack. Finally, Thunderbolt was unleashed and the Light Screen shattered. In an instant the rain had stopped, the light was back and the Electro Ball disappeared.
Ryder and Kaelyn were left in awe, both amazed at the skill of Liz' Pokémon. "There's no way anyone could top that," Ryder muttered absently.
"Uh-huh," Kaelyn agreed in the same state as him.
Liz giggled at her best friend and her twin before picking Pachirisu up walking over to the two of them. Pachirisu prodded Ryder's arm with his petite nose, Ryder snapped back to reality and pulled a piece of candy out of his pocket and fed it to Pachirisu.
"So, why did you ask to show your routine to us anyways, we were supposed to go to your Competition next weekend…" Kaelyn inquired.
"Jake told me last night at dinner that he had to send you two out for a job, so you'd miss it, he also said it's going to be a long mission. I don't know what you're supposed to be doing, though." Liz said and hugged Kaelyn again, preemptively saying goodbye to her best friend, in the way they always did, without words.
"At least we'll be working a job together, and you still have a husband and daughter Lizzie, so don't act like we're you completely alone!" Ryder said to break the silence.
"I wasn't trying to…"
"I-I didn't mean it like that," he quickly stuttered when he saw his sister's genuine look of sadness. "Oh God."
"Okay, tire's no reason to be sad!" Kaelyn rushed to announce. "There's a reason we have smartphones!"
"Ye-yeah, we'll call you a-and stuff whenever you want!" Ryder added.
That seemed to cheer Liz up and she bounced back to her normally bubbly self, "okay!"
Ryder and Kaelyn looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. "I still find it really odd that Jake would send his two highest level employees out on one mission. I mean, does he really need both his Captain and his General to take on one task?" Kaelyn looked to the sky as she asked the question. "It does seem odd, you're his right-hand, he normally likes to keep you here at all times if possible," Ryder muttered, looking directly at Kaelyn.
"Well, it must mean that whatever you're going to do will be important!" Liz announced.
"How are you so excited about everything?" Kaelyn looked at her.
"Well, for once, my daughter won't want to constantly have a sleepover at your apartment, so, that'll be nice." "You do spoil the girl…" both twins looked at Kaelyn, one glaring at her, the other with an entertained smile.
"But three is such a cute age! You can't tell me she's not the most adorable thing ever!" Kaelyn begged with both of them.
"Just don't tell that to Eevee, or she'll kill you, but I do agree with you." Ryder walked over to his girlfriend and wrapped and arm around her.
"Sounds good," Kaelyn said, and both girls nodded.
They all turned around when they heard a thump and the loud rustle of the bushes around them. Zorua fell face first onto the ground, causing Liz to let out a pitiful giggle. Both Fennekin and Eevee emerged from the bushes too, all three Pokémon were visibly exhausted, Eevee sat down at Kaelyn's feet, and, after he managed to get back up, Zorua sat beside Eevee. Fennekin walked towards Liz, who returned Pachirisu to its Poke-ball and plucked Fennekin off the ground.
Kaelyn leaned down to pull Eevee into her arms, who curled up in her arms, hiding her face against Kaelyn's chest. Kaelyn cooed at her cute and fluffy Pokémon, Ryder scratched behind her ears, making Eevee purr. Zorua sat staring up at Ryder expectantly, he reached down and scratched his head right behind his red tuft of hair.
"Bye, Lizzie," Kaelyn said.
"Bye, I'll text you, or something, later, okay?"
"Okay," Kaelyn replied.
Ryder hugged his twin quickly before turning around with Kaelyn and walking back to their apartment. "So, what do you think we're supposed to be doing, for this 'super long and important job,'" Ryder asked and walked just behind Kaelyn.
"I dunno, but I'm guessing Jake will tell us tomorrow at work," she shrugged.
"Probably."
"Now, let's get home so I can give Eevee and Zorua a bath so the three of us can take a nap together," Kaelyn picked up her pace and powered through the crowd on the heavily congested sidewalk.
Ryder and Zorua rushed to catch up with her and once they did, Ryder asked, "so why am I not involved in this little nap session?"
"It's your turn to buy groceries, that's why."
"Why can't we do that together?"
"We normally do, and we really need to buy more food."
"Fine, but only if you'll let me buy Oreos."
"Okay, but I get to eat some of them," she growled through her teeth.
"Cool with me," he said, satisfied.
They finally made it back to their apartment and Kaelyn made a beeline for the bathroom, still carrying Eevee and Zorua followed her. She kneeled and started the bath, making sure the water wasn't too warm. Once the tub was halfway filled, she lightly pet Eevee to wake her up and lifted her into the water, she also put Zorua into the bath. Kaelyn pulled her sleeves up and grabbed the Pokémon shampoo from the counter. She squeezed a large dollop into her hand and rubbed it into Eevee's head and her puffy scarf of fur around her neck. Kaelyn also rubbed shampoo all over Zorua and finished lathering Eevee with the soap. Zorua hummed in delight as his head got scratched while Kaelyn was washing him.
She quickly rinsed the Pokémon so all the soap was gone and drained the tub. She lifted Eevee out of the bath and dried her off with a towel. The same was done to Zorua, but Kaelyn then cocooned him in the towel, giving him only a comfortable amount of wiggle-room. He thrashed around in the towel, much to the girl's amusement, both of whom giggled. Water was splashed and soaked her shirt, but Kaelyn didn't pay it any mind and soon let Zorua out of the towel. He was obviously quite aggravated, but Kaelyn picked up both Pokémon, now dry, and placed them on the bed.
Eevee immediately laid down in the immaculately made bed (there was a reason that Kaelyn always got Ryder to make the bed) and Zorua curled protectively around her. Kaelyn pulled off her soaking shirt, and, because she was too lazy to search for another, she rested on the bed beside Eevee and pulled both Pokémon into a hug before dozing off.
Ryder came back home and called out to see if Kaelyn might have left to meet someone or do something. When he got no answer, he set the groceries down on the kitchen counter and walked back to the bedroom, he saw Kaelyn and the two Pokémon curled up together, all sleeping, and smiled. He quickly put all of the groceries away and walked back to the bedroom.
He softly moved the hair away from her face before whispering, "babe, you need to wake up." Kaelyn squeaked and turned to nuzzle her face against her boyfriend. Ryder laughed and nudged her again, "please."
Kaelyn made another quiet noise and sat up. "Not fair, I was just getting to the good part of my dream!"
"Could it have had anything to do with me?" Ryder said as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
"No," Kaelyn said simply. Ryder looked genuinely disappointed, so Kaelyn kissed his cheek and sat closer to him. Ryder chuckled and opened his arms, enveloping her in a hug and pulling her into his lap, Kaelyn softly nuzzled his chest.
"It's not fair," Ryder pouted. "You're too damn cute!" He tackled her so she was on top of their pillows and began kissing her neck with fervor. He felt Kaelyn rest her cheek against his head and smiled.
"I love you," she whispered.
"I love you too," Ryder pulled his shirt over his head and laid back over his girlfriend. "So, Captain, do I have permission to continue?"
Kaelyn chuckled, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down so they could share a deep, hungry kiss. "Of course, General," she said once they pulled apart. Eevee's tail moved in her sleep and tickled Kaelyn's arm. "We should probably move; they don't need to observe."
Ryder wrapped her legs around his waist and carried her to the living room and laid Kaelyn back down on the couch. "it's not fair those Pokémon get our bed and we have to screw on the sofa…."
"It's not that bad, plus they're our fluffy buddies." Ryder raised an eyebrow, but quickly got distracted when Kaelyn leaned up to kiss him again. "Go get a condom."
"Yes, ma'am," Ryder rushed towards their bedroom to follow her command. Once he returned, they resumed their actions, whispering to each other every now and then.
Both lovers had clothed themselves again and woken up their Pokémon and were now curled up on the couch, eating slices of pizza. Eevee was laying on top of Kaelyn's feet and Zorua sat in the chair next to Ryder. Zorua purred when Ryder scratched his head and tore off a piece of his slice to feed him. Eevee got up and walked up Kaelyn's legs and snuggled into her lap. "I love this," Kaelyn whispered and rested her head on Ryder's shoulder.
"Me too," he agreed, "and I really don't want to go into work tomorrow."
"Why?"
"We have to get a new assignment, which means we'll need to travel and our bed is so comfy," when Ryder said those last words, he rolled his head backwards and groaned.
"Hotel beds are not that bad."
"Well, yeah, but, you know, still…" Ryder just shrugged and tore a bite from his pizza.
"You like home…" Kaelyn muttered teasingly, Ryder looked away when she leaned closer to pester him. "Well, you're right that we have to start packing up for our new assignment tomorrow, which probably means we'll need our rest." Kaelyn said as she collected their plates off the coffee table, Eevee squealed as she nearly fell off Kaelyn's lap as she rose to stand.
"If you're going to take my plate, can you grab me a napkin?"
"sure, but only because tonight's your night to do the dishes."
"Fine."
"Now, I'm going to hop in the shower and get ready for bed, I'll see you back there shortly, right?" Kaelyn raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer from her boyfriend.
"Sounds good," he muttered. Kaelyn smiled and rushed away, with Eevee following her to jump on their bed and burrow under their comforter. Zorua saw what the other Pokémon was doing and quickly followed suit, cuddling with her and the heavy blanket.
Ryder sighed and forced himself to get up and start cleaning the kitchen. He was in no way looking forward to tomorrow.
How was it? I know I can do better, but, hey... Please tell me if it's okay, and tell me just what you think in general, I like constructive criticism. And, yes, I am aware that this chapter was almost 3,000 words long, and, yes, you might have to expect that if you plan on following this story. Hope you enjoyed and I might be a decent writer.
