Pokemon is owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, Satoshi Tajiri, and Ken Sugimori, this fanfiction, and my OCs, Joel and Yuki, are owned by me.

"Ponyta! Get back here!" an exasperated man shouted. Yuki's ponyta would bolt at the strangest times, and her bolting right now, when there was nothing to be scared about was most strange.

The ponyta merely turned and whinnied at her trainer, before she ran off again.

She led Yuki to a small clearing, where the two were met by a rather well-groomed espeon.

"Ponyta, where are you taking me?" Yuki asked his pokemon as he caught up.

"E! Espeon!" the espeon chirped angrily, turning on its heels and running away. Ponyta whinnied at Yuki again, before she followed it, to wherever it was going.

"Ponyta! Wait!" Yuki shouted after his pokemon again. Where could she-and the espeon want him to go?

Yuki followed them to another clearing. A tall, thin man with short black hair was slumped against a rock, clearly unconscious. The espeon, along with Ponyta, stopped at his side and performed their respective cries in unison.

"I get it now," Yuki said out loud, reaching out to pet the espeon. "You were worried about your trainer, weren't you? You wanted me to help."

"Espeon!" the small pokemon demanded.

"I'll see what I can do then," Yuki said, starting to examine the man. A nurse, Yuki knew he'd be able to help. The man looked to be very young, and had an expression that made him look strangely at peace. In fact, Yuki thought he was actually kind of cute…

"His vitals are all in check, and he doesn't seem to have any external injuries," Yuki said to the espeon.

Still, he couldn't leave him alone out in this clearing. Yuki could take him home, if he knew where he lived. He thought about taking him to a hospital, but his condition didn't seem bad enough to warrant that. There was only one option…

"Espeon, would you follow me and my Ponyta? I'm going to take your master back to my place."

"Espeon…" the pokemon trilled suspiciously.

Yuki settled the man gently down on his bed and pulled the covers over him tightly.

"Hope you'll be ok now," he whispered gently.

The espeon jumped up on the bed, and curled up next to her master.

"Aren't you a loyal little one?" Yuki laughed.

It was then that the man's eyes fluttered open, and he surveyed his surroundings.

"Where…where am I?" he rasped tiredly.

Yuki turned up to face him. "So you're awake," he said. "You fainted in some clearing, and thanks to your espeon, I happened to find you. So I bought you here to rest safely."

The man looked round at his espeon. "Psiana…Thank you," he rasped. "Oh, and thank you as well, Mr…"

"Yuki." Yuki responded. "Psiana…That's your espeon's name? She's cute."

He smiled weakly. "I've had her a long time. Ah—do forgive me for not introducing myself properly. My name's Joel." He blushed slightly.

Yuki settled himself next to Joel. "Cute name, for a cute guy like you," he said, laughing.

Joel blushed again. Yuki seemed so kind, to have done all this for him. It was nice that he liked him, but did he have to be so forward about it?

Yuki frowned. "I'm sorry, am I being creepy?"

"No, not at all," Joel said, his face maintaining its flush. What the hell was he saying?! Yuki was being way too up front with him, but he was liking that. Why?

"So, how'd you end up passed out in the middle of nowhere?" Yuki asked.

"I was looking for a flying type pokemon to catch, and I wasn't having much success finding one that was any good. I'm sickly, and don't have much stamina, so…looks like I wore myself out and collapsed." He replied.

Yuki looked concerned. "Are you feeling alright now?" he enquired, placing a hand on Joel's forehead.

"Yes, I'm quite alright now," he replied nervously.

Yuki found that his face was flushing too, as he lay beside Joel. He was so sweet and polite, not to mention completely adorable…

"Do you need anything?" Yuki asked him.

Joel gazed deep into Yuki's eyes. It was obvious Yuki liked him. And he was starting to feel the same way. Though it felt weird to spit out his request, he wanted to get closer to Yuki, even if just for a little bit…

"Would you…hold me?" he asked nervously.

Yuki pulled Joel into a gentle embrace, smiling as he relaxed in his arms.

"How's that?" Yuki asked, kissing Joel gently atop the forehead.

"That's perfect," Joel replied, looking up at his new love.

Some Ultra fluffy OC x OC for you guys! I will write about Joel and Yuki again, hopefully with a little more pokemon in it. I've called their pairing "Jazzshipping". There's a reason for that, but it will be explained in a later tale. I'd like to have them meet some other OCs, so if you want your OC to meet them, let me know via review or PM, and I will write a story for them! Bye~
