This was originally chapter 11, but I removed the original chapter 10 so I could add the Lumiose gym battle, so I bumped this chapter, and the next few chapters down by one so I could add the gym battle as chapter 13.
This chapter contains lemons. Lemons are not my strong point in writing but they should improve overtime.
Chapter 10: Claiming a mate
Another few days had passed since Alice had healed Aura, with his bones now fully restored, it was finally time for him to return to his journey.
As morning came, the sun shined brightly through the clean white curtains of Aura's hospital room, landing directly on the eyes of a certain Braixen as she lay asleep, with her body pressed against her trainer, her head and paw resting on his chest as her leg lay intertwined with his.
Diamond stirred as the morning sunlight shined on her closed eyelids, she slowly opened them and let out a quiet yawn while shifting herself into a sitting position. She slowly got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom to do her business
She exit the bathroom to see that Aura had awoken, and he was currently looking outside the window at the morning sunrise.
"Good morning, Aura, did you sleep well?" Diamond asked, walking over to the bed in hopes of cuddling with her trainer more.
"Yeah, though I was worried for a moment when I woke up to see you weren't lying next to me."
"Sorry, I had to get up and use the bathroom this morning," she said, climbing back into the bed and leaning up against Aura.
"Heh, I still remember how awkward I felt having to explain to you how a bathroom works, but I'm glad that you've learned more and more about human technology and culture over the past few days."
Diamond blushed, she too remembering just how awkward that conversation had gone, "I'm just glad that you get to leave the hospital today, I admit that being able to cuddle with you all day does feel great, but I would also love to get back on our journey."
"I feel the same way, it'll be nice being on the road again after being bedridden for a whole week," Aura said, Diamond nodded in agreement.
A low growl came from Aura's right, he looked at the vixen as a small blush formed on her cheeks, "I'm guessing you're pretty hungry?" He asked.
Diamond stayed silent until her stomach let out another growl, she meekly nodded her head before saying, "Yeah, could you maybe call Alice and see if she could bring up some breakfast?"
"Sure, could you pass me Stan and Prince's pokeballs?" Diamond reached over and picked up the two pokeballs that sat on the bedside table, while Aura pressed the service button on the little remote.
Diamond handed the balls to Aura saying, "Here."
"Thanks, Diamond." Aura kissed her head as he took the balls and released his other two pokemon.
"Good morning, Master Aura," Prince greeted.
Stan yawned and pawed at his eyes, "Morning, Aura."
"Mornin' guys, I just called up Alice so we can get breakfast, you guys want what we had yesterday?" They nodded in confirmation.
A few minutes passed before a knock was heard at the door, "Come in!" Aura called.
The door opened, and in stepped the green haired nurse, "Morning guys, I assume you're wanting breakfast?" She asked.
"Yeah, same thing we had yesterday if you could," Aura responded.
"Sure thing." Alice left the room, returning a few minutes later with their breakfast. Aura thanked her, but before she left, she had something she wanted to ask, "Hey, Aura? I was wondering if you could stop by my place tomorrow, Lee and his sister have been dying to meet you."
Aura shrugged, "I don't see why not, we'll be staying in Lumiose City a little longer anyways since we're going to face the gym."
Alice smiled, "Well, thanks, and good luck with your battle."
He nodded, "Thank you, and what time should we come over?"
"I have all of tomorrow off, so maybe sometime around nine if that works for you."
"Sounds great, see you then."
Alice turned to leave, but she remembered something else she needed to tell Aura, "Oh, by the way, you should be able to leave by this afternoon."
"Thanks for everything, Alice, see you tomorrow." Alice waved back to them as she walked out of the room, leaving the group to their breakfast.
About two hours passed before another knock came to the door, Aura called them in, and the door opened to reveal a tall man with a doctor's coat, "Hello, Mr. Borealis, I'm here to inform you that it's time for you to be checked out of the hospital," he took some papers from a clipboard and handed them to Aura, "fill these out and give them to the receptionist before you leave."
"Thanks, I'll be sure to do that right away." Aura sat up and took the papers.
The doctor left the room, and Aura returned Prince and Stan, before he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, they had removed all the medical equipment the day prior, but kept him in the hospital for an extra day, just to be safe, Aura stood up and stretched, walking over to his clothes. As he made his way over, Diamond let out a quick squeak and turned her head, covering her eyes with a deep blush, Aura turned around, "What's wrong, Diamond?" He asked.
"C-could you put on some pants?"
Aura was confused and was about to ask why, but he soon got his answer when he felt a breeze run along his backside, reminding him that hospital gowns didn't have backs, his cheeks lit up and he quickly gathered his clothes before heading to the bathroom to get dressed.
-POV Diamond, 1st Person-
"Heh, sorry about that, Diamond, after lying in a bed for a whole week, I forgot that I wasn't wearing anything under the gown." Aura told me, as we walked down the clean white halls towards the elevator.
I shyly shook me head, me cheeks still tinted red, "It's okay Aura, I was just shocked a bit."
Aura sighed, we reached the elevator and descended to the first floor, leaving the small box and walking towards the receptionist desk.
When we reached the desk, Aura cleared his throat to get the attention of the lady sitting behind it, "Oh, hello there, how can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm here to check out of the hospital, I have my forms right here," Aura said, placing the sheets of paper on the desk.
The receptionist looked over the release forms, she put them down and looked back up at Aura, "Okay, everything seems to be in order, now before you go, is there anything you would like to ask?" Aura shook his head and the lady smiled, "Alright then, have a nice day, Mr. Borealis."
"You too." Aura and I spun around and walked out of the hospital, starting towards the Pokemon Center from before.
Aura had a spring in his step from finally being out of the hospital, but I was being distracted by my own thoughts, "Should I ask him? What if he doesn't want to... But, he did say he would only do it if I wanted him to... Screw it, I'll ask him tonight... I just hope he feels the same way."
-POV Aura, 1st person-
As we entered the Pokemon Center, I approached the front desk to rent out a room for the next few days. Nurse Joy greeted us in her usual cheerful tone, "Hello, Aura, it's nice to see you've recovered."
"Thanks, Nurse Joy, but I was hoping we could rent a room for a few days, we're going to try taking on the gym before we leave the city."
She nodded, "Okay, what kind of room can I put you down for?"
I was about to answer her question, but I felt Diamond gently tug on my shirt, making me look down at her in question. "Um, Aura? Could we get a room for just the two of us?"
Looking at her confused, I just shrugged my shoulders and looked back to Nurse Joy, "Um, do you have any rooms with just a single bed?"
She nodded, "Yes we do, I'll mark you down for a Class D suite."
Still not fully understanding the different classes of rooms, I decided to finally ask, "Nurse Joy? I've actually been wondering, what's with the different classes of suites? Are some just better than others?"
"Oh, not really, they all look relatively the same, the only difference is the price and the actual size of the room; Class D and C suites are almost identical, though D has one bed while C has two, and they're free for registered trainers, otherwise, they would normally cost around 500 to 1,000 Poke; next is the B Class, they're just a little bigger than the C Class, but have two separate bedrooms, they usually cost 5,000P; then there's the A Class, which is practically the same, but has three bedrooms and a private bathroom in each, they cost 25,000P; and finally, there's the VIP Suite, though they're usually only available to a registered VIP."
"Wow... Thanks for explaining that, now I know that I haven't actually been paying for my rooms."
She chuckled, "Yeah, but we still need each trainer to scan their ID to keep track of what trainer is where, and if any extra costs might be needed, like for damages and stuff." I felt a bit worried about the hole in our previous suite, though she quickly reassured me that it wouldn't come at my expense, seeing as we were not the cause for it and wouldn't be held responsible.
With this new information, I finished renting a Class D room for Diamond and myself, taking the key and going upstairs.
-POV Diamond, 1st Person-
As soon as we had arrived at our suite, Aura had dropped off his bag by the foot end of the bed and pulled out a towel and his shorts, "Hey, Diamond, I'm gonna take a quick shower, I could really use one after lying in a bed all week."
I watched Aura walk towards the bathroom, "Now's my chance." I took a quick breath, trying to compose myself; as Aura reached for the doorknob, I quickly got his attention, "Aura? Could I... ask you something?"
He turned around, "What is it?"
I fiddled with my fingers, "Uhm, would it be okay if I... maybe... showered with you?"
Aura's face flushed red, "I guess so... but, why do you ask?"
I turned my head, trying to conceal a blush, "W-well, when humans are in love... don't they sometimes... bathe together?"
"I suppose so... You really want to?" He asked, I shyly nodded my head, and he just sighed, "Well, if you really want to, then it's fine with me." I perked up a bit, happy that Aura was okay with bathing together, though I still felt a little shy about what I hoped to ask him while we bathed.
Aura opened the door and allowed me to enter, before he shut it and began stripping down, I averted my gaze to the wall on my right, though unable to hold myself back from taking short glances at my trainer every few seconds, hoping he didn't notice.
He began adjusting the water before ushering me into the tub, stepping in shortly after me and changing the water course to the showerhead above, surprising me a bit when the hot water began raining down on me.
I kept my gaze fixed to the front of the tub, only glancing back as I heard the familiar snap of a shampoo bottle opening, followed by Aura's voice, "Do you want me to help you wash up?" I slowly nodded, he let me know he was going to start, and I soon felt the chilly substance against my back, though as Aura began to massage the shampoo into my fur, I couldn't help but coo at his gentle touch.
I took a quick breath, deciding now would be a good time to ask, "Aura?"
I felt his hands stop, "Yes?" His voice sounded a bit nervous.
I turned around, nearly forgetting about the scars on his chest, even though they made no difference to how I felt in that moment, "I was wondering... well... when pokemon are in a relationship... it's the male's job to... 'claim' the female," I shyly said, getting quieter near the end.
He paused, "Are you asking me to... you know... mate with you?" I nodded my head, facing the floor with my face flushing brightly. I heard him sigh, "Well... I mean... I know we're in a relationship, but... you really want to?"
I looked up, "Yes, Aura, I love you, and I want you to claim me as your mate..."
There was a short pause where we both said nothing, then I felt Aura wrap his arms around me, "Diamond, I love you, and I always will... So if you really want to, then I'll do it." Our lips pressed against each other's, locking us into a passionate kiss, only breaking apart for air.
We quickly finished our shower and dried off before going back out to the main room.
-POV 3rd person-
The couple exit the bathroom, Diamond went over to the bed and sat on the edge, while Aura walked up and set aside his towel.
"So... how should we start?" Aura asked, trying to be as polite as he could.
The blush on Diamond's face grew as she twiddled her fingers, "Well... this is my first time... so, I don't really know what to do."
Aura sat next to her and rubbed her leg, "It's alright, this'll be my first time too, but, I do know a way we could start, after that, it should just come naturally."
"O-okay, what do we do?"
Aura stood up, telling the vixen to spread her legs, and although she didn't understand why, she complied, spreading her legs and presenting her virgin slit. Aura got to his knees and shuffled closer, he could sense Diamond felt nervous about this, but he reassured her that it would feel good.
Having no reason not to trust her trainer, Diamond relaxed, cooing as she felt Aura's hands slowly rub her inner thighs. Unaware about what Aura would do next, her body flinched as she felt Aura's tongue touch her slit. She bit her bottom lip, moaning from the sexual pleasure this new experience brought.
Aura smiled, licking her slit from the bottom to the top, sending the Braixen into a euphoric bliss as his tongue rubbed against her little nub.
For a split second, Diamond had thought they were finished, completely caught off guard when Aura dug his tongue into her hole, making her moan at a much higher volume from the pleasure as he licked at her insides.
He felt her walls clamp down, knowing Diamond was about to reach her climax, and when it came, she practically screamed as she instinctively held Aura's head with her hands, keeping him pressed against her hole as her juices sprayed against her lover's mouth.
With her sexual high dying down, she fell back onto the bed as her walls loosened, allowing Aura to pull his face away from the pokemon's pussy and lick the juices around his mouth, noticing the distinct flavour of pecha berries mixed with a hint of cinnamon.
Diamond blushed, "That was amazing." She said, completely out of breath.
Aura chuckled, "We're not done yet." She looked almost shocked about this, but the burning in her nether regions screamed for more. Aura could see the desire for more in the fox's eyes, "You ready for the next part?"
"Yes, Aura, I want you to claim me."
"Alright then, scoot up a bit so we have more room." Diamond crawled her way up to the center of the mattress, Aura instructed her to spread her legs again, and this time, she didn't hesitate. Gladly presenting her pink folds to her trainer, he climbed on the bed and held himself over Diamond, one hand on either side of her head, and his body positioned between her legs, "You ready for this?"
She nodded her head, feeling Aura's tip press against her dripping folds, and soon begin to slowly enter her womanhood. Diamond sharply inhaled through gritted teeth, and Aura stopped halfway, asking if he should stop. Diamond shook her head, "N-no, its, just a bit big, just, go slow."
Aura nodded and continued pushing, soon feeling a wall, "This is only going to hurt for a moment, but it will go away."
She wrapped her arms around her trainer's neck, holding him close, "Do it," she whispered.
Aura pulled back, thrusting his hips forward, and breaking the Braixen's hymen while hilting her at the same time, a small amount of blood trickling out of her hole. He felt her claws dig into his back, she only got out a short, pain filled scream before Aura muffled it with a kiss, only pulling back once her screams died down.
They sat there for a few minutes, waiting for Diamond's pain to subside. "Okay... you can start," she whispered. He complied, and began to slowly thrust his hips, making the short vixen let out small moans of pleasure.
Within five minutes, Diamond had become a moaning wreck, her noises of pleasure getting louder and louder, and Aura could soon feel his climax approaching, Diamond's walls began to clamp down, telling him she was close, too. "D-Diamond, I'm gonna cum," he grunted out.
She wrapped her legs around Aura's waist, holding him in place as her walls clamped down on his shaft and her warm juices burst from her womanhood, this had finally driven him over the edge, his thrusts became erratic, and she could feel his warm seed filling her womb.
They held onto each other until their sexual high had left them. Aura pulled out of Diamond, some of his seed spilling out of her as he lay next to her, both of them panting heavily, "That was amazing... let's have a quick nap before I start on supper."
Diamond turned, smiling at her mate, "Yeah... I love you, Aura."
"I love you too, Diamond, and I always will." Aura wrapped his arm around the fox and kissed her forehead, "Have a good sleep."
"You, too." The two closed their eyes and quickly fell asleep from their exhaustion.
To be completely honest, I kind of regret the way I started off, because looking back I feel the lemons scene just felt unnatural, but hopefully this shouldn't be an issue as the story progresses. This one was just bad timing and bad planning but remember this is my first story and I was very inexperienced around this time still.
