Chapter 3

After arriving at my front doorstep, I put everything down, and opened the door. I saw Lucario sitting on the couch with Swampert watching television. "Hey, I'm back. So, where are the others?"

"Raichu is in the kitchen with Salazzle. Lurantis is in the backyard, and Hedgewig is in your room." Lucario replied as I set the food down on the coffee table in the living room. I then gave them their respective burgers as I finally processed her words. "Wait, why is Hedgewig in my room? Is she taking a nap or something?" They both shrugged. They don't know? That's awfully strange. "Alright, I guess I'll go see what's up."

I make my way upstairs. The hallway was dark and empty. Not a single sound echoed through except my own footsteps. The lights were on in my room and the door was open just a sliver. Well she's not sleeping, but she's awfully quiet. What's she doing? I slowly approach the door, butterflies in my stomach. I started to hear strange noises coming from my room, along with heavy, but quiet breathing and panting. Also there was a voice whispering my name. Was that Hedgewig? No, it couldn't be. As I reach for the doorknob, my heart rate quickens. What's going on in there? The sounds began getting louder and louder. My hand starts to tremble as it anxiously inches closer and closer to the doorknob. I crack it open a little more so I can see what's happening. I divert my eyes toward the bed aaand HOLY SHIT! I look away, plopping down next to the door, my face turned red hot; overwhelmed by what I just saw in there. Was that...Hedgewig?! I look through the crack again not believing my own eyes. There she was, digging her fingers into her pussy, panting and moaning. My mind went blank. I couldn't think, I couldn't move. All I could do was watch. Then, as she slowly increased her pace, she began whispering my name again, "Ethan… Please…. Harder…"

I couldn't believe this. Hedgewig was masturbating on my bed. Whispering my name. Was this...really happening? I felt a growing sensation in my shorts. I looked down; it was inevitable. This proved that there was no one in the world I wanted more than her. I just kept watching as she increased her speed, breathing harder and harder as her digits rubbed against the inner walls of her womanhood. Her voice and her moans getting louder as well. At this point, she wasn't even whispering my name anymore. She was practically shouting it. She was at her limit now. Her fingers digging aggressively into her vagina. She was really going at it now as her breathing intensified even further. My raging erection wasn't helping either. As I watched, she grabbed her left breast with her hand, playing with it as she went to town on her womanhood. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Her eyes were closed now and I could see tears. Oh my god… she's about to cum. Right in front of me! She didn't let up for a second. She just kept going in and out, her fingers and crotch wet with her own juices. After several hard thrusts, she arched her back and moaned loudly, releasing all her pent up emotions. She squirted everywhere, gasping as she did so. It was so hot I almost couldn't contain myself… When she finished, she sunk back onto the bed. Gasping for breath and bathing in the afterglow. I sat back down, resting my head on the wall beside the door where she couldn't see me. Holy hell…

I sat there for a bit, stunned. I couldn't even begin to process what I had just witnessed. Then out of the blue, I heard her sigh and say, "What am I doing? I already know this will never happen… If I tell Ethan about these feelings, he'll reject me, then begin to neglect me… Ugh, I can't. I won't." I felt like bursting into my room right at that moment to tell her, but I stood back up as she got up to leave the room. I rushed downstairs before she ever knew I was there, my face still red….my erection still going strong. I decided to run into the kitchen to hide it until it went down. Salazzle and Raichu were hanging around nearby. I walked behind the counter where my erection wasn't visible and just looked down trying to look like I was doing something."So, where are the burgers?" Salazzle asked. I was so engrossed in my own thoughts it took the words a while to register in my head. "Hm? Oh, right, um… Th-they're in the living room if you need them." Salazzle left for her food and Raichu stayed behind. Raichu notices the slight stuttering in my speech, and begins to stare. "What's wrong? Not hungry anymore?"

"You do know your eyes are golden, right?"

Shit. "WHAT?! I thought I put my contacts on before I left!" Then I realised: that old woman must've knocked them off. But how?!

Then...I get the strangest headache for a second, then it fades just as quickly as it came. This gave me the impression that Raichu was reading my mind. That was one unique thing about psychic types I thought was kinda weird, but it usually doesn't bother me. "Raichu? What exactly are you looking at in there?"

"Nothin' much, just that you saw Hedgewig fingering herself to the thought of you, and that you're trying way too hard to hide that boner." Damn it, she knows?! My face started to heat up as I instinctively covered my crotch. I was totally embarrassed. I look at my Raichu as she smirks. "Hey, no need to worry, man. This kinda thing has been happenin' every time you leave the place, anyway. I can also tell something's worrying you. Care to spill?" Well, guess there's no point in hiding if she'll just read my mind anyway. With a sigh of defeat, I open up about everything.

"After she was done, she said I would never accept these feelings and I would reject her. And she said she would never confess her feelings to me. Ever."

"Wow, she was considering doing it today too… Bummer."

I ramble on as if I didn't hear it. "Which is strange as she's always been pretty adamant about these kinds of thi- Wait, she was…?"

"Yeah, man. I could keep readin' her if you want."

"No thanks, I can figure this out on my own."

"Your tone doesn't sound so confident, bro. Not only that, you're thinking it maybe won't be the best idea. Trust me, everything will work out."

"How the hell are you so certain?"

"Well, let's check the TV, who knows, man?"

"Wait, I don't understand."

"Just get your ass in the living room and watch the news."

I'm a bit hesitant to exit the kitchen with my contacts gone, but Raichu beckons me forward and I head towards the living room with her. I take a peek outside the hallway and saw everyone else already there. Hedgewig, and Swampert on the couch, Lucario, Salazzle and Lurantis on the floor, chowing down on their lunches watching something on the TV. There was an empty spot right beside to Hedgewig, too. As I enter the room, everyone glances my way momentarily but return their attention to the TV as if nothing happened. I guess I'm still on edge. At least my erection is gone. Just need to not think about it… I immediately shake the thought. Hegdewig was looking at me the whole time and smiling. So comforting and warm… I walk over and scooch through my Pokemon and take my seat next to her. Hedgewig rests her head on my shoulder and this catches me by surprise. She's never done that before, but hey, it felt nice. I put my hand on her head, gently caressing it in circular motions. With my other hand I grab the remote and change the channel to the news. "Hey, we were watching that!" said Swampert and Lucario in unison. Raichu shushes them, though. I paid close attention to see if Raichu was right. Then, Hedgewig's head sinks a bit forcefully into my shoulder. I look to see what's wrong and her eyes are shut. She also lets out a quiet groan. "Woah Hedgewig, you alright?" She opens her eyes, and looks at me with a half smile, reassuring me she was okay. "Y-yeah, just a little headache, but I'm fine now." I look over at Raichu, and she's staring at the TV. She realizes my stare and motions me to continue watching. I look back at the TV as the weather report comes in. Looks like it's going to be scorching all week. Great. Several meaningless news stories later, the top story came on, and I made sure to listen. "Breaking News: a 23 year old male is being held without bail on accounts of having intercourse with not one, but three of his Lycanrocs."

"Ugh, I'm going to go get a glass of water, I'll be in the kitchen." Hedgewig gets up and I quickly take hold of her arm right before she leaves. "Wait, are you alright? You want me to come with?"

"No, it's fine Ethan. This headache is just bothering me still. I'm only getting some water." I give her an expression of concern, but I decided not to stop her. "Okay, but if it gets worse, tell me. I'll try my best to make you feel better."

"Thanks, Ethan." She smiles, heads into the kitchen, and turn my attention back to the news. "–released his information." His mug shot shown on the screen. "His full name is Joshua Alexander Tucker, and he resides in Heahea City and this is his first offense. The Lycanrocs, named Luna, Skylar, and Olette are being held until the authorities can find a better home for them." I begin to feel irritated as the camera shows the female reporter in the newsroom. "As pokephilia has been on the rise, more and more people have begun to protest in support of it saying 'Let us love our Pokemon' and have begun to riot on the streets of Kanto and Hoenn. These riots have been taken under control, but I fear, there will be more to come." Raichu sighs sadly. "It's honestly a shame what's gonna happen to those Lycanroc chicks. I hope they get a good home."

"It's more than just a shame, it's incredibly stupid how they treat pokephilia like it's such a huge crime. It doesn't make sense! They think you can't consent, they say it's like torture to you guys, I have clear proof that it's the exact opposite thanks to the Poke-translator. You're able to communicate, to love, and to feel those exact feelings. I just can't grasp the concept of how ignorant these people are, pokephilia shouldn't be a crime. I bet you they didn't even bother to consider the feelings of those Lycanrocs. They treat you guys like animals, and it isn't right." Sighing, I look over at my Pokemon, and they're all staring at me. I look toward the kitchen, and see Hedgewig surprised, almost like she's speechless. She notices me staring though, so she immediately turns around and pulls on her hood strings to conceal the obvious blush on her face.

I turn back to the others. "You all get me, right?" Raichu is the first one to answer. "Oh yeah, I see the whole picture man." She gives me a wink. Lucario looks back at Raichu puzzled. "What do you mean?" Raichu gives her a look. "No way! Really?" Lucario looks back at me, beaming. "Y'know, you two would make such a cute couple! So, when will you 'get it on'? So to speak."

Raichu stopped me before I could even open my mouth. "Hold on, before you say anything Ethan, I'll just tell everyone else."

"Excuse me, Raichu, but that's private information."

"Ethan, we're your Pokemon, you could tell us anything, we won't judge, you know." said Salazzle.

"Yeah, no need to feel nervous."

"Swampert, please. I just don't want all of you pressuring me to make a move."

"I'll keep them in line." Said Lurantis. Raichu scoffed. "I'd love to see ya try."

"I'm perfectly capable of keeping you all in line, but you? Ha!" Lurantis looked flustered now. "Not against my flames you're not, sweetie. Admit it. You won't be able to keep us in line." Said Salazzle, almost agreeing with Raichu. Before things could boil over, I stood in the midst of them, and hold my hands out, keeping them apart. "Alright, that's enough. Now, I'm to go check on Hedgewig. You five better keep your hands to yourselves." I stand there for a couple more seconds, making sure no one makes any sudden moves. Satisfied, I head for the kitchen.

I also take one final look back to make sure no one was getting physical before meeting up with Hedgewig. She still has that hood over her face… I took one of the flaps, and opened a bit. I caught a glimpse of her eye, which quickly darted to another direction. "Hedgewig, how're you feeling? Everything okay?" She loosens her hood a bit showing her face and it's still red. "Y-yeah, everything's fine Ethan. Thanks for checking on me…"

"No need to thank me Hedgewig. You know I'm always here to take care of you." She smiled back at me. Then she started to gaze into my eyes and I met her gaze as well. Her big, round eyes always mesmerized me whenever I looked into them. I give a warm smile, and she blushes even more. "So, that headache cooling down?"

"To be completely honest, no.. It hasn't." Wait, so that wasn't Raichu reading her thoughts? No, it definitely was. I could tell by that stupid, innocent grin on her face. I put my hand on Hedgewig's forehead. "Woah, Hedgewig you're burning up. I think we need to take you to the Pokemon Center. Is there anything else that hurts? Stomach, wings, anything?"

"No, it's just this headache and fever…" She groans again, wincing as if the headache seems to be getting worse. That does not look good. "Right, I'll go fetch your Poké Ball. I'll be right back." I hastily rush upstairs to my room, rummage through my drawers, and there it is. I run back downstairs, and Lucario stops me, noticing the Poké Ball in hand. "Isn't that Hedgewig's? What're you planning to do with that?"

"Hedgewig's been feeling sick, so I'm taking her to the Pokemon Center. I'll be right back, I promise. I'm leaving you in charge, Lucario. And please, don't start any fights. After that argument, I don't want to come back and find out that the house was destroyed."

"You got it, boss!" She gave a salute, and giggled. I walk back into the kitchen where Hedgewig is sitting down with her head on the counter, with her arms cushioning her head. "Alright, I'm back. Are you ready to go?" She lifts her head, and nods slowly. Soon after, I press the button on the Poké Ball, and it pops open. A red flash of light shoots toward Hedgewig, enveloping her and returning her safely to her Poké Ball.
