Hey there readers! Deepest apologies for not updating when I said I would, but finals arrived and I had to finish that before I could add another chapter! I've actually had this chapter done for about a week on my iPod... but I never had time to retype it on my computer. That was when I realized that my iPod has email... so I've been spending hours pointlessly copying the story word for word... Anyways, here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any locations that exist in the actual game. However I DO own the characters Austin Keeler, Kimi Lashings, and any non-canon characters mentioned in this story.

Sinnoh Adventures of Love

Chapter 9

Kimi quickly glanced around the room to check for anything they might have forgotten while packing. After making sure that everything was packed; she closed the door behind her as she hurried to meet Austin outside. He was leaning against a light post when Kimi walked through the door.

"Ready to go?"
"Yep! I can't wait to see our parents again!"
"Me neither, it's been too long since we've last been to Twinleaf Town."
"Do you have any plans for when we get there?"
"I don't know... I might go see the professor to learn about his research." guilty
"That sounds like fun, the first thing I'm going to do is head over to my mom's house. I'm so excited!"
They soon hailed a cab and rode to the train station. Once they had everything arranged and loaded onto the train, Austin let out Gardevoir so she could stretch her muscles. The pokemon yawned and stretched her back before sitting next to Austin.
(Where are we going?)
"To Twinleaf Town."
(Twinleaf Town? So will I finally get to meet your parents?)
Austin's face turned bright red. He looked out the window to hide his face.
"I suppose so, I guess I've been gone so long that they never knew I caught you. I wonder what dad'll think of me owning a Gardevoir; you should probably avoid my brother."
"Your brother seemed pretty nice to me; always so polite."
"That's only for show; he's a true sex demon on the inside."
Gardevoir's eyes widened as her faced turned red as well.
(He's not going to do anything to me is he?)
"Nah, he's one if those romantic types... Even if he wanted to, I wouldn't let him lay a finger in you."
"What about me?"
"Sorry, I can only protect one girl at a time."
"What?"
"I was only kidding! Of course I'll protect you from that monster of a brother."
He leaned over and threw his arms around both of them and they had a large group hug.
(I'll stay by your side to make your job easier.)
Gardevoir giggled and nuzzled her head into his neck. He rubbed the top of their heads as they rode out the rest of the trip...

That Afternoon...

The three friends were awakened by a loud whistle as the train stopped in Twinleaf Town. Once all of the bags had been loaded off the train; the group decided to just walk the rest of the way. Twinleaf Town wasn't exactly the biggest city in the region after all.
After only a few minutes of walking, they reached Kimi's home; a pleasant 2-story house painted yellow like a dandelion. Her mother was in the garden, working hard to take care of her famous tulips.
"Excuse me miss, but we're looking for your daughter."
"Sorry, she's off some- Kimi!"
She immediately ran over to her daughter and they both hugged each other. She noticed Austin standing next to them and gave him a big hug as well. She also noticed Gardevoir; she stood there speechless.
"What a beautiful Pokémon! Who's is it?"
"She's mine, I found her a few months ago."
Austin looked away to hide his proud smile. He wasn't the only one who thought she was beautiful. Gardevoir could sense his feelings and smiled shyly.
"So how long will you be staying?" Kimi's mother asked.
"We're not really sure, probably a few days at least."
"Well, feel free to come over for dinner anytime you like!"
"I might have to take you up on that offer." He chuckled.
"But I should go to my house for now. I'll be by later today, okay Kimi?"
"Sure thing! See you later Austin!"

Austin picked up his bag and started towards his own house. He didn't live far, the whole reason he and Kimi had become friends was because they were the only kids on the block that were their age. Being a nine year old among thirteen year olds wasn't exactly a glamorous experience. So Austin decided to just hang out with Kimi. Kimi was always shy around him, she would always follow him where lever he went and do whatever he did. He never really knew why, but she always seemed to be shy around other people as well, even more so than she was to him. Austin thought it would be best to not hit any possible land mine and never asked her why she was so shy.

He soon came up to his home. It was a quaint little home. The powder blue paint job complimented the well trimmed lawn perfectly. He walked to the back and opened the screen door that led into the kitchen. His parents always kept the backdoor unlocked just in case he came home unexpectedly like today. He always thought this was unease, but oh well; there was nothing he could do about it.

His parents usually worked mornings on the weekend, so he wasn't surprised to find the house empty. After making sure his shoes were hidden in the closet, he walked upstairs and fell on his old bed. It was amazing seeing how everything was just the way it was when he had left three years ago. Since his parents usually didn't get home till noon, he let Gardevoir back out. There were some creepers around town that would love to mess with her. The Pokémon stretched her arms and looked around the room.

(Wow! you have such a boyish room with all the racing things.)
She laid down on the bed and took a deep breath. Austin's scent filled the room.
"This stuff is from a few years ago, so I've out grown most of this stuff."
"Oh? Then what about this?"
She held up a magazine with a picture of a nude girl on the cover.
"Hey! Give that back!"
They wrestled around on the bed until both were too tired to keep on fighting. Gardevoir rolled over on her side and laughed softly.
(You know, you won't be needing these anymore now that you have me.)
"I suppose so, but I'm too tired to do anything today. Besides, my parents could show up any minute. Can we cuddle for tonight?"
(I'd like that...)

Gardevoir scooted over to him and wrapped her arms around him. She let her head rest underneath her chin. He gently rubbed her head as they both fell into a light slumber...

A Few Hours Later...

Austin rose out of bed to the gentle smell of dinner. He quietly snuck downstairs to see who was in the kitchen. As he thought, the one cooking was his mother. To anybody else, she would have been the most beautiful woman they would ever lay eyes on. Her brown, shoulder length hair went well with her rather small figure that would make her look around 21 despite being 32. To Austin however, she was just his mother. He cautiously walked behind her, making sure to not disturb anything. He gently wrapped his arms around her neck.
"Welcome home dear. How was your day at- Austin! I didn't know you were coming back! When did you get here?"
"Oh, I've been taking a nap upstairs since noon."
"I didn't even notice you came home! How have you been?"
"Great actually, I've caught some new Pokémon since I was here last."
"Well, I can't wait to meet them."

She gave her son a hug and continued to prepare dinner as Austin went to the living room to watch TV. His father came down later. It was apparent that he too had been taking a nap.

"Hey Gloria, who's in the living room?"
"Go see for yourself Joseph."
His jaw dropped when he saw Austin sitting on the couch.

"Hey dad, long time no see."
"Son! It's nice to have you back for a change! How have your travels been?"
"Good, I'll tell you the details when supper's ready."
Joseph shrugged and walked over to the table and waited for dinner. Austin thought it was strange that his brother wasn't here yet.
"Hey, where's Michael?"
"He'll be back in time for dinner. He has some work to finish before he can come home."
"Okay then, I'll be right back; I have someone I'd like you to meet."
He walked up to his room and shook Gardevoir softly. She squinted at him and yawned quietly.
(What's wrong?)
"Nothing, it's time to meet my parents."
(Ooh I can't wait!)
They both walked down the stairs. Austin went into the kitchen first.
"Mom... Dad... I'd like you to meet Gardevoir!"
She walked into the kitchen room. She bowed to them and stood up; her hands were hiding behind her back as she looked down shyly.
"Wow son! That's an impressive catch! When did you find her?"
"Just a few weeks after I last came to visit."
"She's so beautiful! I've seen a lot of Gardevoir in my life, but none have shined like her."
Gardevoir revealed a small smile as she continued to look down at the ground.
(It's a pleasure to meet you both, I hope to not be a bother to you two.)
Both of their mouths fell open.
"Wow! We didn't know Gardevoir could speak!"
"Well, she can't exactly speak per say, but she can communicate through telepathy."
"That's incredible! Nice to meet you as well Gardevoir. Please make yourself at home. Dinner will be ready very soon."

It wasn't long before Michael walked through the front door. He was still wearing his accounting shirt. Though Michael may be a complete perv to most people (He claims to be a Playboy); he makes an honest living at the Pokémon Center in Sandgem Town. Austin could only assume that Michael was in heaven working there. Even he would love to work beside the beautiful Nurse Joy as dozens of young, beautiful women would visit to heal their Pokémon. As soon as he noticed Austin at the table, he quickly raced over and gave Austin a huge bear hug.

"Hey there little bro! What brings you here to this neck of the woods?"

"I just thought it was time to come visit you guys again."

Michael let out an exaggerated sigh.

"Oh, to be on an adventure again… enjoying the company of hundreds of exotic women from every corner of the continent. I envy you brother."

"Whatever you say; I don't think I need a different woman every hour like you do."

The siblings laughed together. Michael then walked upstairs and quickly changed into his street clothes. He wore his usual black t-shirt with a silver skull painted across the front, baggy jeans that sagged slightly, and some striped kicks. The outfit seemed to fit him perfectly with his red eyes and shaggy brown hair. Nobody knew why, but he had actually been born with red colored eyes. The doctors saw nothing wrong with his sight, so Austin's parents just left them as they were. They definitely gave him something to talk about on his dates. Once he came back downstairs, Michael froze where he stood as he stared at Gardevoir wide-eyed.

"Who is this fine specimen?"

Michael eyed her over and licked his lips. Gardevoir gave a slight shudder and looked away.

"This is Gardevoir, and she is my Pokémon. Please don't try anything with her. I really don't want to kill you."

Michael laughed, but quieted down when he saw a look of death in Austin's eyes.

"Don't worry brother, I would never do anything to somebody else's Pokémon. Well, at least not a family member's…"

The entire family laughed together as they enjoyed the hearty meal that Austin's mom had prepared. Gardevoir was shy at first; but a few glasses of wine later and she was "talking" up a storm.

(Wow, this wine is almost better than sex!)

The entire group burst out laughing at the comment. Gardevoir just sat their giggling and hiccupping at her own drunken joke. She leaned over and wrapped her arms around Austin's neck.

(I'm having so much fun tonight; your mother can really hold her alcohol!)

"Silly, she isn't drunk because you keep swiping her glass!"

(I do? I guess I thought she was just pouring me another one.)

"Well guys, I think both of us have had enough to drink for one night. We'll be heading to bed now."

"Ok son, just call if you need anything."

Austin picked Gardevoir up bridle style, and carried her upstairs. He gently laid her down on his bed and then changed into his sleepwear. Once they were both under the covers; Austin whispered to Gardevoir to find out that she was out cold. He simply scooted next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. They slept away the rest of what was left of the night…
