The Machop that had hatched from the egg was affectionately nicknamed 'Mach' (pronounced like Mahk). Hannah and Machop grew up together, and he even evolved into a Machoke by the time she was 10 years old. Now, Hannah was 16. Her eyes sparkled like sapphires and she kept her waist-length hair in braided pigtails. She was only 5' tall, and she was thin, but she had developed well. Her mother told her that she could be a model if she wanted too. But she hadn't liked any of the Beauties she had ever met. They were all too vapid and too concerned about what their Pokémon looked like in Hannah's opinion. When Hannah woke alone in her bed, she tried to keep herself calm. She threw off the covers and walked to her bedroom door.

"Mach!" she called out.

"Down here, honey!" she heard her mother call out. Hannah ran down the stairs hurriedly, still in her t-shirt and short shorts. She stopped in the kitchen doorway, watching her Machoke looking confused as her mother handed him bowls and plates to hold.

"I'm sorry, Hannah," her mother said. "It's just really nice to have some help around the house from such a strong Pokémon. I figured you wouldn't mind if I borrowed him."

"No, of course I don't mind," Hannah said softly, giggling as Mach looked at her with pleading eyes. "I just wanted to see where he went. I'm going to go take a shower and get dressed." She went back upstairs to do so. After her shower, she put on a light green tank top and denim shorts. Mach let himself in her room, looking a little irritated.

"I'm sorry, Mach," Hannah giggled softly. "I hope Mama wasn't too hard on you." She walked over to him, gently rubbing her hands up his chest and shoulders, massaging his muscles gently. He sighed contently, leaning into her touch. He was large for a Machoke, standing at 5'3. Her father told her that being extra-large made him special, not that she minded anyway. She felt safer having Mach always by her side. She wrapped her arms around his neck, gently kissing his cheek.

"Ready for chores?" Hannah asked. Mach grunted softly and nodded. She smiled and walked out of the house with him right behind her. Hannah mucked out the Tauros pen and fed them before moving onto the Mudsdale pen. One of the large horse Pokémon came over and nudged her gently. She giggled softly.

"Okay, but our secret," she whispered. She fished a Pokébean out of her pocket and fed it to the Mudsdale. She happily crunched it and Hannah slipped away to the next pen. Mach followed her, now looking a little jealous.

"Okay, here, you can have one too, Mach," Hannah said, handing him a Pokébean. He excitedly ate it, smiling at her. She giggled softly. Once she was finished with all her chores, she returned to the house. She ate dinner with her parents and, as usual, Mach sat next to her with his own plate of food. After dinner, Hannah helped her mother wash the dishes, then went upstairs with Mach. She changed back into her t-shirt and short shorts for bed, then crawled under the covers for bed. Mach stood next to the bed, staring at her.

"Are you just going to stand there, Mach?" Hannah asked him. "Come on. Get into bed." He lifted the covers and carefully got into bed next to her. Hannah wrapped her arm around his waist, resting her head on his chest and entangling her leg between both of his. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Hannah swore she could hear something. It sounded like whimpering and grunting. As she came to, she realized Mach was making the noises. He was squirming uncomfortably and felt warmer than usual. Hannah was jolted from her sleepy state, sitting up in bed and looking down at Mach. It was still dark out, but she could faintly see by the moonlight coming in her window.

"Mach, what's wrong?" she asked, concern squeezing her chest and knotting her stomach. Mach was still squirming, trying to push the covers off of himself. She pulled the covers off of him quickly, only to realize what the problem was. The black briefs he wore were tented from his erection. Hannah's father had explained to her how Pokémon going into heat worked. She knew he needed relief.

"Oh… Okay…" Hannah took a breath. "Okay, hold on, Mach." She sat up on her knees to look out her window down on the farm, hoping one of the female Pokémon were awake. All of the ones she was able to see from her window were sleeping. She felt a tight grip on her wrist and looked down to see Mach grabbing her as he panted, pulling her down away from the window. A blush crept across her cheeks.
