Well, this was quite some time to get back to the series. I want to first thank the people who participated in the little poll I did in the last chapter. I think it is pretty obvious what franchise you want me to do, Monster Girl Encyclopedia it is. BUT! I also decided to do something else. I figured if I alternated between two series every week I would get a lot more variety.
So, I decided to do another series alongside Monster Girl Encyclopedia I would do another one as well, switching between them every other week. And since the runner up to MGE was World of Warcraft I am gonna pick it for that second slot. Of course, if one or both series flop, or you say that you don't enjoy it, I can still always switch out one of the series and replace it with another one. Though I do hope that these next two series are going to take off alright.
But anyways, for now we are still smack dab right in the middle of Episode 3 of AP x H so let's get this started.
This week's story comes from Shen's General. It's one of the requests that's been sitting on the backburner for quite a long time and I decided that now would be a pretty good time to do it. I often vary between fresh new and long pending requests, so to the people who have requested a story quite a while ago, don't be discouraged the chance to be picked is still there for you.
And now, let's begin.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You can never know what you will stumble upon in Vindicta, I think that much we know up by now. But still it can be very surprising every time you find something new. Maybe even unusual.
Today, let's take a look at the Areondae plateau, the secluded plot of tropical forest and wetland on top of a large area surrounded by cliffs. It was tricky to traverse and it was easy to get lost in the plentiful flora.
"Ouch! Argh! FUCK!"
Oh, hey, there's another one who underestimated it.
"*crack* OOOOOOOHHH SHIIIT!" Sliding down uncontrollably, a man fell down a slippery slope that led into a valley of the Areondae Plateau. The earth was wet and loose underneath him and he careened on without any way of stopping himself. He slid through a lot of thick foliage which slapped against him like lashes of a whip.
As the slope ended, Darion smacked face first into the wet dirt. "*Cough* Arceus, how I hate this fucking jungle!" He said as he stood up and spit out pieces of earth that got into his mouth.
Darion was an established man at 18 years, belonging to a family of rich industrial owners who like so many other rich families decided to own a plot of land in the expensive and sparsely populated Areondae Plateau.
Typical for a man of higher social class, he always dressed neatly in a red jacket vest and a sun yellow shoulder long button up shirt underneath. He also wore a pair of black pants with dark blue stitches. Not that that outfit would do much for him now that it was ruined anyways.
His formerly neatly kempt blonde hair with a lightning bolt pattern in the middle of his bangs was also wildly ruffled now. But the red lightning bolt still, persisted. His black shoes were now covered in dirt and slippery when he tried to get back onto his feet.
His face turned disgusted at the unusual feeling of getting dirty. "Hell, I will never get this to look good again! Oww, URGH!" As Darion took his first step into the wild, a sharp pain rushed through his body, originating from his left leg. As he put weight onto it, he noticed a large cut on the side of it with his pants ripped and blood streaming down his thighs.
"SHHH! Must've cut myself on a sharp rock or something. Goddammit, this hurts! Man, and my pants are ruined too." Darion groaned to himself as he applied pressure to his wound. He looked back over his shoulder up the steep ledge he fell down when exploring his family's new property.
"Well, can't get up this way anymore. *sigh*" he groaned as he turned around again and held his leg in pain. "Argh, shit! Gotta look for a way around." He hissed as he began his search, limping. The cut was just below his waistline and it was bleeding heavily.
The moment he took his first slow steps, he noticed that he was no longer in the tropical paradise his property was built in, but the basin he fell into, was more like a marsh with ankle high, muddy water.
Darion rolled his eyes as he trudged onward, following the wall that cut him off from his property. But no matter how hard he looked, there were neither stairs or less steep trails. Well, obviously the plateau wasn't built for people to traverse it because it was still mostly wild. And building pathways for the very few rich people up here, wasn't considered to be worth the effort.
Darion was getting weaker with every step and the blood loss was slowly getting to him. His skin lost color and his movements slowed down.
"Hrngh, can't keep this up much longer." Darion said weakly as he traversed through the wet marsh more. But no matter how much he explored there was just never be an opportunity to get up again. He might have already been going around in circles. He was like a mouse trapped in a labyrinth.
He rested himself against the slope and breathed heavily. He was sweating and the wound was starting to sting strongly. He looked towards the dense, deep marsh with thick vines blocking the view almost completely. The center of the basin was like an impenetrable swampy forest and thick vapors hung over the watery ground.
Running out of options at this point, he tried his luck. Hoping to maybe find someone in the marsh who can help him. Even though it was foolish and very unlikely, but he was desperate. Every step hurt as if he was being stabbed by tiny needles hitting his nerves.
He brushed aside the vines as he pushed into the marsh. Gladly, there was now just mossy ground instead of water which made moving forward way easier.
It was still rough to overcome everything in the way. Even protruding roots of nearby trees became a major obstacle.
But then, Darion found something he didn't even expect at this point anymore. A house, or rather something more like a hut. Built within the hollowed-out husk of a large tree. A few holes in the bark revealed light from inside.
With heavy breath and nervous sweat on his forehead he arrived at a makeshift door cut into the tree's bark. He knocked on it and leaned against the side of it.
His eyes fluttered and his face was pale. He faintly heard someone approaching the entrance and as the door opened, his vision went black. "Please… help me." Was the last thing he could wring out before his body went slack and collapsed.
And the only thing he still recognized at this point, was the sound of a female voice gasping in shock and the feeling of his body being moved.
He was unconscious for several hours with only muffled noises of ruffling and a mumbling voice giving him hints on what happened around him.
He felt his body being tampered with in some way, but with him constantly fading in and out of consciousness, he could neither tell what was done to him nor could he do anything about it.
And it would take several more hours until Darion regained control over his body.
"*GASP*!" Darion shot up as soon as the feeling of his body returned to him and he snapped up from a lying down position.
"*BONK* OWW!" a feminine voice cried out.
"ARGH!" Darion cried out as his head hit something and he lied back down again. "What the fuck!? Oww!" He rubbed his eyes and soon was able to open them again. He blinked several times over, as the different shapes of his surroundings slowly came into view again.
He noticed that he was inside of the hut he found before. It was warmly lit up by candle lights that were hung from the ceiling with vines. Several containers with different powders and liquids were neatly aligned on several shelves on the wall. He lied on top of a table with a blanket lying underneath him. And on top of that, there was someone else in the hut with him.
It was a woman, an anthro Sawsbuck to be exact. She was tall, and surprisingly busty. The woman had wide hips, a flat belly and a ginormous bust of J-cup size. Her figure was barely covered by makeshift clothes made from materials she probably found in the woods. With a combination of vines and patches of fabric, she created a sort of bra and a loincloth that hid at least the most intimate of her body parts like the thick nipples of her breasts and her genitals.
Her entire body was covered in different shades of brown, soft fur and beige, long hair that was braided at the back extended from her head. On top of her head, she sported a proud set of antlers and her eyes were a dazzling color of gold.
As Darion inspected the stranger, he noticed that she was rubbing her forehead and scrunched her face in pain. And as the puzzle pieces connected in his mind, he figured out that as he snapped up earlier, he must have collided with her head while she had been leaning over him.
"Arceus, you startled me, young one. Hehe!" the Sawsbuck chuckled. Her huge breasts jiggled with every giggle. The woman upon further inspection seemed to be way older than Darion and might have been in between her thirties or forties. But her body was still extremely attractive and bodacious.
"What happened to me? What did you do with me?" Darion asked nervously as he inspected his body. He was still in the same clothes as he was before and it seemed that everything was in place.
"Please calm down. Everything is alright."
"No it's not. How long have I been out for?" Darion panicked at his first meeting with a wild Pokémon. Being from Arkani City, the only things he knew about Pokémon was that they were volatile at heart and not to be trusted unless controlled. It was a common mindset in Arkani and especially counted for wild Pokémon.
"It's been just about 4 hours I think. Please, lie down again before you rip your wound open again." She pleaded with him as she gently put her surprisingly soft hand onto his chest to move him down again.
Darion took a deep breath and looked down at his leg. It wasn't bleeding anymore. In fact, it had been neatly closed with stitches and the wound was cauterized and cleaned. Darion traced the line of the stitched cut. It didn't even hurt anymore.
The Sawsbuck smiled as she watched him inspect it. "I applied a special balm, made from herbs in the marsh. It should numb the pain for now. Just avoid stepping on it, okay?" she kept smiling and gently ran her fingers over the wound now before Darion pulled his leg away and hissed in pain, not from the touch but from how hard he yanked on his leg himself.
"Don't touch me, Pokémon! What are you planning to do with me?" Darion snapped at her, but for some reason, the Sawsbuck was not faced in the slightest.
"Oh, I was planning on treating your wound until you can walk properly again. You were so weak when I took you in, you basically fell right into my door." She grinned caringly as she still kept calm.
Darion was confused by her unfazed, laid back behavior even though he had snapped at her. He couldn't get a read of her, but as she gently signaled him to move his leg over again, he did so reluctantly.
She gently held his leg in place and with some sort of herbal balm, she brushed her fingers over his cut and covered it in it. His skin felt warm as it came into contact with the balm, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
"My name is Daphne by the way."
"Uhuh, good to know." Darion said non-caringly as he still didn't trust her.
But Daphne just ignored his indifference. "Will you tell me your name as well, young man?" she asked curiously as she sat down next to him on the sturdy table.
Darion gulped as he watched her monumental ass flatten on the surface. It bulged out alluringly, but his pride made him deny his sexual attraction to such things.
"If you have to know, my name is Darion. Darion Targris. I'm a member of a very rich family that holds a lot of influence in Arkani City." He proclaimed proudly. "So consider yourself lucky to allow me to let you treat me like that.
Daphne's ears perked up as she heard that. "You're from the city? Please tell me about it!" her eyes glistened and Darion jerked up in surprise as she leaned over to him in excitement.
"Why do you want to know about the city? You are a wild Pokémon. What do you care?"
"Well, that's exactly the reason. I mean I don't really leave this marsh. It's my home. But I still love to hear from the outside world. What's it like?" the mature Pokémon loomed over him, her tits swaying from side to side, tempting Darion to touch them. He was not sure if she was doing this on purpose but he resisted the urge nonetheless.
"It's the perfect life. Everything you need is close to you. Restaurants, Cafés and clothing stores at every corner. The streets are always busy and full of people. It would be perfect if it wasn't for all these Pokémon running around the city. They really don't belong there."
He expected her to be mad at him for saying that and objecting but instead she just asked: "Are the Pokémon in the city bad people?" She looked at him worriedly as she caringly caressed his leg. Darion involuntarily shuddered at her touch and shook his head to refuse his arousal.
"I… I can't say that. But Pokémon just don't belong into civilized cities unless they are pets. Pokémon are mindless animals and nothing more!" He steeled his nerves as he blurted that out but his voice crumbled as if he was not entirely convinced of his standpoint.
"Oh, you don't like Pokémon as a whole then?" Daphne leaned even closer towards Darion who sat up to face her. He swallowed audibly as the busty Sawsbuck closed in on him.
"Y…yes. Pokémon aren't people. So why should we treat them as such?"
"But if we Pokémon are just animals why are you getting so excited when I'm close to you like that? You wouldn't do that with an animal, right?" Suddenly, the tone of her voice shifted from soft to smooth and sensual. She intently pressed her enormous breasts together as she steadied herself with her hands on the table. Her arms squeezed her mounts and made them bulge out even more.
"Y… you… stop that. You can't talk to me like that!" Darion rebutted.
"You're stuttering Darion." She said in a cold, matter of fact tone. She knew she had him pinned.
"I…I'm not stuttering. Seriously, stop it!"
"Stop what, Darion? You said I'm just an animal, so being this close should not bother you that much." Her hand crawled over Darion's chest. "I've always had a thing for younger boys. How lucky I must be that one stumbled right into my humble little abode out here." She hushed under her breath as she moved towards his ear.
"You really are a base beast, aren't you?" He tried to regain the upper hand by denouncing her, but to no avail.
"You really are adorable." She hummed before she started to lick his ear.
"*gasp* Holy shit!" He grabbed the sides of the table and clenched his fists at the sudden stimulation.
As she lavished his ear, she moved her hand to his pants and stroked the bulge that had built up there "It's funny how you are calling me a base beast when you are the one sporting such a lovely hard on down there."
"It's just a natural reaction. I can't help it." Darion kept up his stubborn attitude.
"A natural reaction like that for an animal like me? I didn't think you were into that." She was definitely having fun teasing him like that, as she kept rubbing his cock through his pants. Her fingers were gentle and pressed against only barely enough to make him feel them.
"Why are you doing this? *pant*" Darion's breath quickened from the suppressed pleasure.
"You don't live in the city anymore, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"Yeah, but how does that play into it?"
"Well, I've heard of Arkani City before and I noticed that you still have your attitude from that place. And well, since you now live in the jungle and not the city anymore, I thought I'd help you get rid of that attitude and give you a little welcome to the jungle." The Sawsbuck answered coquettishly as she continued to lick Darion's ear even more. Darion shivered but slowly submitted to her caresses.
"As the only healer in this area, I have made it my goal that I will set everyone who hates Pokémon straight and show them that you will have to get accustomed to us, and not the other way around. I won't let you go around hurting Pokémon in our country." She leaned back again and looked at Darion seriously.
"That's actually…" Darion stopped mid-sentence.
"That's actually what?"
"That's actually pretty reasonable." He answered reluctantly. "But still, why are you doing THIS to me right now?" He asked as he pointed towards her stroking his bulge.
"Well, you're still young and I think that you don't really believe the things they taught you back in that city. So, I will try to show you that we Pokémon aren't nearly as bad as you've been told. And that we can be pretty fun to be around." She said sullenly as she started to fumble with the buttons of his pants. He didn't resist anymore and was breathing nervously of what was to come.
She pulled his black jeans down, past the leg wound that already started a quick healing process. Her balm must have been infused with some sort of potion to quicken it. Not that Darion had any time to focus on pain right now anyways.
Daphne completely undressed his lower half and was greeted by a thick rod, erect and twitching. Daphne's eyes slanted and a lusty smirk crossed her lips. "Hehe, now are you ready to admit that I got you hard? Come on, don't be so refusing, you're gonna hurt my feelings at some point." She cooed as she groped his member with her hand and began stroking the shaft with a tight grip.
"Who says that I give a damn about your feelings. Nnnnghaah!" Darion tried to talk back but as she squeezed his shaft tightly, the only thing escaping his mouth were gasps of pleasure.
"Shhhh, Darion. Talking just ruins the mood right now. And I want to milk this for everything it's worth." She licked her lips as she looked down at the dick in her hand. The stroking motion turned faster and more pleasurable for Darion and even Daphne seemed to be getting into it.
Pre cum was already staining Daphne's hand but she removed her hand soon after that started which drew strings of the liquid with it.
Darion seemed to be pretty disappointed and was a panting mess on the table already. Much to Daphne's amusement.
"Why are you looking so unsatisfied, Darion? Did you want more?" She asked with glistening eyes, hiding her malicious joy about his struggle.
"I… urr… mmm." He wanted to say something but the words got stuck in his throat and he turned his head away, blushing.
"Maybe I could keep going and serve your juicy dick with something much better. And I bet you'll like it as well." Daphne tried to get his attention again as he sulked. But he soon was on edge again as Daphne started to massage her breasts with the barely covering bra still on. Her fingers malformed her heavy flesh and Darion gulped as he watched her play with them.
"I can make you feel really good with those, you know? You just have to ask me and I'll show you what I can do." She said sultrily with expectant eyes looking up at Darion as she was leaning over him. Her deep cleavage drew his eyes towards it and hypnotized him as her tits swayed freely.
Again, Darion felt the urge rise within him to grope them. He took a deep breath as he admitted defeat. "I… I want you to…"
"Yes?" she asked teasingly.
"Please, show me how you can make it feel even better with your tits. I can't stand just looking at them anymore." His barrier broke down and he admitted to his lust that was slowly eating him up.
"See, was that so hard?" Daphne reached up and caressed the young boy's cheek, making his face red with embarrassment.
Without further ado, she focused on his cock again, salivating at the sight of the glistening, dripping rod. She didn't even remove her bra as she let his cock penetrate her tits from underneath. The pressure immediately enveloped him quickly and a rush of pleasure arose from the firm softness of her tits.
"Oh my fucking… MMNNNN!" Darion bit his lip as Daphne started to rub his length with her breasts by churning them around with her hands.
"Told you it would be amazing, but before I actually get started…" She smiled cheekily.
"You mean this is just the beginning?" Darion gasped in surprise.
"Exactly." She reached behind her, grabbing a vial of a clear liquid. She popped open the cork that closed it tightly and let the fluid drip into her cleavage. It took a few seconds but Darion soon felt the slimy, slightly warm liquid envelop his cock in between her tits.
"This will make it amazing for both of us." She said as she carelessly threw the vial over her shoulder.
Shortly after, Darion felt a tingling sensation in his cock and the pleasures of Daphne's tits became even more intense. He clenched his teeth as he questioningly looked at Daphne. She seemed to be breathing heavily as well and her eyes were glazed with lust.
"This is a stimulant I came up with. I will make everything feel more intense and make us last longer. The best combination there is." She said eagerly as she started to pump her breasts around his cock. The stimulant additionally served as a lubricant and made her tits slippery and slimy. It made her movements quick and easy for her to do as she gave him a full on tit job.
She heaved her heavy tits up and let them plop down on his crotch over and over. All the while hanging over his body and drooling at the feeling of his sandwiched cock in between her tits. It was as if shocks of pleasure ran through her body every time her heavy flesh collapsed onto Darion's lap.
Darion on the other hand was not much better off. His forehead was damp with sweat and his face scrunched as he endured the incredible stimulations. The sound of his hips and the underside of Daphne's breasts clapping together, was mesmerizing and made his mind race with incredible sensations.
He couldn't keep sitting still anymore and bucked his hips upwards to meet her tits on their downward movements. The feeling of her hot flesh was indescribably pleasurable.
"Haaa! Getting into it too, huh? I'm getting hot too, Darion. Come on, cover my tits in your hot load!" Daphne moaned with her tongue lazily hanging out of her mouth.
The sight of her slack, pleasure riddled face, pushed Darion over the edge and his hips gained even more power in their thrusts. He fucked her cleavage from underneath and the head of his cock began to twitch and widen. "OHHHH! This is insane! Holy shit this feels good! HAAAAAAAAHHH!"
He cried out as his hot cum shot forth from his member into her tits. The strength of the ejaculation was strong enough to spurt out of the top of Daphne's cleavage, creating a pool on top of them.
"AHHHH, this is great. Oh, the feeling of hot cum on my tits is amazing!" Daphne mumbled in trance as she felt the last squirts of Darion subsided and flowed out underneath.
She removed her breasts from his crotch, strings of cum still connecting her to it as she pulled away. She dipped a finger into the little pool in her cleavage and licked it off. "Mmmmh, so rich and lively." She hummed in satisfaction which stirred her lust on even more. With hungry eyes, she looked towards Darion who had his head laid back on the table, panting from exhaustion.
With a coquettish smile, she hopped onto the table and straddled Darion's lap.
He looked up at her as he breathed heavily "I wasn't wrong about one thing. You really are base and driven by pure lust."
"I sense a 'but' in there." She responded as she leaned down to him.
He smiled at her as he overcame his pride "But I don't think you are an animal anymore."
"Oh? How come?" She asked teasingly.
"I wouldn't go this mad over a mere animal. I think you might have even more sex appeal than some human girls out there. I don't know how much is true about what my father told me about you Pokémon. But I think I'm ready to find out for myself." He stated proudly as he held Daphne's hips lovingly.
The change of his mindset made Daphne smile and before saying anything else, she eagerly forced her lips against his. Her sloppy tongue snaked into his mouth and Darion was quick to meet it with his own. The healer and the rich boy kissed frantically as they explored each other's body with their hands. Daphne ruffling Darion's hair and Darion caressing her smooth sides.
As the heated kiss ended, Daphne looked at Darion with adoring eyes. "That's all I wanted to hear from you. I'm glad my therapy worked." She giggled girlishly.
"We're not done yet though, are we?" He asked cockily as he slid his finger underneath her loincloth and felt the dripping heat emanating from her crotch. Daphne gasped and bit her lip as he touched her down there and responded with a chuckle.
"Indeed we aren't, Darion. Let's get to the main session." She loosened the vine strings of her loincloth and pulled it off. Just at the same time, she untied the knot of her bra and let it drop down as well.
Darion gulped at the sight of her entire, naked body. Luscious pink nipples topped of her enormous mounds and her furry crotch was glistening wet.
Next, Daphne unbuttoned Darion's sun yellow shirt to take a look at his fairly toned upper body. It was slightly muscled and fairly skinny, which contrasted with her own massive figure.
As they were both finally naked, they searched each other's warmth by pressing their bodies together. Daphne ground the shaft of Darion's cock with her pussy lips and coated it in her fluids. The effect of the stimulant was still present and thus every touch felt like heaven.
Their bodies were hot with desire. Darion took the initiative this time and cocked his head slightly downwards to Daphne's tits flattening against him. He took both of her massive tits into his hands and while he groped one of them, finally, he pulled the other up to his face and latched onto it with his mouth. His tongue slobbered all over it and showered it with his love. Daphne moaned heavily as the stimulation made her lose her mind.
Her crotch rubbed more excessively on his lap and stroked his cock that was firmly sandwiched between the plump lips of her cunt. She was impatient and shook her hips from side to side.
Darion kept kissing and licking her breasts while Daphne was eagerly searching for ways to enhance their pleasure. And after she finally had enough, she reached behind her and grabbed Darion's cock to guide it to the entrance of her pussy. She let him prod against her folds for a while as she rode his tip.
Darion scrunched his face as he felt the pleasure in his crotch but kept his attention to her tits.
"Look at you, sucking on my tits like an adorably little child. MNNNNN!" Daphne moaned heavily as she tried to tease him, but the pleasure filled moans she left Darion unimpressed.
"Time to be a man now." She said anxiously before crashing her hips down and swallowing his cock in her pussy. "HYAAAAA!" Daphne cried out in pleasure as the thick, hot member ground along her walls as it entered her.
"MMMMGHGHH!" Darion groaned as he still had his mouth on her breasts. He shut his eyes tightly as he bore the many stimulations of her wet pussy.
A string of drool hung from Daphne's mouth as the entire length was buried inside her. The feeling of fullness was something she hadn't felt in a long time and the suppressed lust came flooding back to her.
She had a toothy grin as she wildly began to shake her hips on top of his. Darion moved his hands from her tits and grabbed her voluptuous ass to help her move. All the while still being smothered by one of her tits and sucking on it lasciviously.
Their hips crashed together in their hard fucking. Their upper bodies were still pressed tightly against each other while Daphne's hips up and down, taking in his length. Her pink pussy flesh was churned up by his meat rod and was spread widely which left her body twitching and shivering from the stimulation.
Her ass rippled every time it slammed down and Darion dug his fingers into it, pulling her down harder to skewer her.
Daphne smiled widely as she looked down at Darion who was still devotedly pleasuring her breast and nipple. She pulled it off his mouth and as he looked up at her in delirious confusion, she covered his lips with hers again.
Their deep kisses alleviated the pleasure to new heights and as Daphne grabbed Darion's head, she humped him so hard that the table underneath them was shaking.
"Oh Arceus, Darion. This is the best sex I've ever had! I love your cock! It's amazing how deep it's inside me!" Daphne yelled as she pried herself from his mouth.
"Same here! I can't even describe how amazing your pussy is. It's so wet and hot inside you! I think… HAAAAA! I think I'm cumming!"
"Cum, Darion! I'm cumming with you! This is gonna be fantastic! *smack* *suck*" Daphne reinvigorated her fucking as their tongues met mid-air and wrestled with each other.
Their sexes collided over and over, harder and harder. Daphne's busty body smothering Darion.
"HAAAAAAA! DARION! I'M CUMMING! HYYAAAAA!" Daphne moaned out loud.
"HNNNGGHAAAAA! ME TOO, DAPHNE! I'M… TOO! GHHHHAAAAAA!" Darion cried out in pleasure as he thrust up into her once more, connecting as deep as they could go.
Darion came buckets into her as Daphne was clamping down on him hard. The orgasms hit both of them hard as their labored breaths filled the room. Their bodies shook and convulsed as they rode out their climax. The immense heat of their connected bodies slowly relaxed them and after their bodies were completely stiff at first they went slack and collapsed on the table.
The soft, heavy body was in no way uncomfortable on top of Darion. Quite the contrary. Daphne's smothering warmth was really comforting after such an ordeal and Darion smiled as he let her rest on him. Without even thinking about it, he started to comb her fur and stroked her antlers and smiled to himself.
Daphne as well, was smiling to herself as well. Happy and hoping that the change of mind she was aiming for was going to stick with him. But right now, she just wanted to feel the young boy a bit longer. She might even have fallen for him. But that was a thought for another time as she cuddled up to him and rested with her arms lovingly around him.
It was a few hours later that Daphne escorted Darion to the edge of the basin again. She led him to a less steep ledge that she had built makeshift stairs for. It was basically just a plank of wood that she made small etchings into to step on and climb up the slope.
As Darion stood in front of it and looked up the slope, he was hesitating to actually go now. Daphne noticed his doubt and hugged him from behind, wrapping her arms around his chest.
Darion was surprised at first but he caressed her arms that were squeezing him against her gently.
"Hey, Darion."
"Yes Daphne?"
"You know, it can get kind of lonely in the marsh from time to time. And since we're apparently live next to each other now. Do you think you could come visit me from time to time?" She said as she nuzzled her face into his blonde and red hair.
"I would be crazy if I wouldn't." Darion chuckled.
"Even if I'm just a vile animal?" she chuckled back.
"Told you I'd be open minded from now on to let you change my mind." He parted from her as her arms reluctantly loosened and she waved him goodbye as he ascended the stairs.
He was sure that he would have quite some explaining to do once he came home again after several hours of being gone. Let alone trying to hide his relationship with a wild Pokémon and his change of mind about them to his father. Maybe it was best to keep it a secret. At least for now.
He reached his property again and entered the massive tropical garden in the back of it that he had started off from.
His father was running up and down in their patio, obviously worried. As his eyes landed on him, he let out a sigh of relief and ran towards him. "Darion! Thank God you're okay. Where were you? What happened?" he asked worriedly.
"I… I was down in the jungle. I fell off from a slope over there and couldn't get up again."
"Down in the wild? Oh my lord! Did the wild Pokémon get to you?"
"In a way." He rubbed his neck.
"It must've been terrible with those savages. I'm sorry I wasn't there to look out for you." He quickly hugged his son and stroked his back caringly.
Darion snaked himself out of his tight grip and smiled vaguely. "It was actually not that bad. I'm alright dad." Darion knew that his father cared, but he was often being overbearing. Maybe that was why he taught him about the dangers of wild Pokémon. To protect him from just any potential danger he ever heard of.
"Well, I'm gonna go back to my room now and clean up a bit. I made quite a mess of myself." He said as he pointed at his dirt covered clothes.
"Alright, Darion. I'll come check on you later. I'm really glad you didn't get hurt." He ruffled his hair fatherly and turned back to the garden.
Darion smiled to himself and turned to the estate when he noticed that there was something inside of the chest pocket of his jacket vest.
It was a very small vial with balm in it. It was wrapped inside a small scrap of paper with writing on it.
"I hope I wasn't too rough on you. Please use this balm to care for your wound. If you need any more, you know where to find me."
Darion smiled as he rolled up the little vial and put it back into his pocket. And he headed back inside, already anticipating running out of balm.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you did, I hope you'll follow and favorite me and give me your opinions or possible requests you have in the reviews.
The series is back now and from now on I'll pull it through til the end. No other breaks if not necessary. All the way up to the 30th and final story of AP x H. Not sure if I'm ever gonna do an Episode 4 of it, but there's still quite some time until this decision. But whether this series will end for definite or not, I want to thank you all for your great support. It's been insane lately. Thank you for that.
So, for now, until next week, have a good night, day or anything in between.
