Happy Anniversary, Readers! This is Thor-Axe18 and I am making a return with a new chapter to my fanfic. I hope this is worth the wait. Enjoy!

Pokémon Journeys: Aaron's New Experience

Chapter Twenty-Six: Double Date

Layla opened her eyes as she woke up. The vixen raised herself up with a yawn and stretched. She looked to the clock and saw that it was 6:30 in the morning. The dark fox looked down and saw her boyfriend sleeping away underneath her. Layla smiled and licked his cheek and whispered to his ear "Wake up, Aaron."

Aaron groaned loudly and mumbled "Not now, Layla." The trainer then yawned.

"Hmph," Layla said annoyed and then asked "Too tired to say good morning?"

"Layla," Aaron replied exhaustedly as he raised himself up "Could you please let me relax a little longer? My head is hurting."

"Your head hurts? Are you sick?" The Zoroark asked with concern

"I don't know," Aaron shook his head from side to side "Just give me a second."

The trainer attempted to use his Psychic powers to levitate his glasses towards them but the pain in his head got sharper. "AHH!" He grunted in pain and placed his hands on his temples.

"Aaron!" Layla panicked as she placed her paws on his shoulders while he shook himself from side to side erratically "Aaron, please calm down!"

Aaron kept shaking his head from side to side grunting in pain from the agonizing headache until he stopped and started breathing heavily, calming himself down. The trainer looked up and saw Layla staring at him with worry in her blue eyes.

The dark fox reached to her left to grab Aaron's glasses off of his desk. She then handed them to Aaron who put his glasses on and looked to his Zoroark. "Are you okay, Aaron?" Layla asked.

"Not really…but thanks," Aaron answered. The trainer laid back down on the bed and rubbed his eyes behind his glasses and asked himself "Man, why does my head hurt so much? And why couldn't I use my powers to get my glasses?"

"Don't look at me," Layla shrugged "You and Ryu are the experts on the pendant."

"The pendant," Aaron repeated to himself and then asked "Layla, can you please grab it for me?"

"Sure," The vixen got off the bed to grab the Pendant of Arceus from inside his desk. She handed it to Aaron. "What do you need it for?" Layla asked as she sat on her knees in front of her trainer.

"I'm wondering if it's the pendant that's causing this," Aaron answered as he examined the Pendant of Arceus closely for anything strange. The gemstone was still the same shade of pink that it turned last night as a result of his connection with Lily. "Doesn't look like anything is wrong with it…Maybe I should try putting it on." Aaron put the Pendant of Arceus around his neck which shined brightly.

"Whoa!" He exclaimed. The Chosen of Arceus felt something he never felt like a huge wave of energy flowing through his entire body which got stronger until it eased down and the pendant's light faded. "Okay," Aaron breathed a little heavily and continued "That…was weird."

"What happened?" Layla asked.

"I don't know," Aaron confessed "It felt like my whole body was pumping itself up or something like that. My head doesn't hurt and I don't feel tired anymore."

"Can you use your powers?" The Zoroark asked her boyfriend.

"Let me try," Aaron attempted to charge an Aura Sphere. He focused his aura and saw that a blue ball had formed in his hand. He stared at it and played around with it, spinning it on his index finger like a basketball and lightly tossing it to the ceiling making the sphere burst into a puff of blue smoke on impact. "Yep, I can use them again." The trainer confirmed.

"Why couldn't you use them before?" The vixen asked.

"No idea," Aaron answered "Maybe it had to do with me using my powers without the Pendant of Arceus last night. Using them like that probably drained a lot of my energy and keeping the pendant on replenishes it. Don't know how that really makes sense since I put it back on after I used my powers without it last night with no problems…Although, I did try using them just now without it so maybe…"

"Maybe you should stop using your powers without the pendant," Layla suggested "If you couldn't use them without it just now then you should really only use them when you have the pendant on you."

"Yeah, you're right. I guess I'll have to let Ryu know about this later," The trainer then changed the subject "Since that's done with, do you want to go out for pizza today?"

Layla smiled widely at the fact that Aaron was asking her out on a date and replied cheerfully "Yes!"

"Alright," Aaron said "After breakfast we'll head down to Angelo's to eat at around noon."

"Mmm…" Layla licked her lips and then said "Sounds good."

Aaron then said "Okay then, go ahead and shower. I'll shower after you and we can have breakfast together."

"Alright," Layla nodded "Could you help me dry my back when I'm done? I always have a tough time reaching there."

Aaron smiled and placed a hand on her left cheek. "Of course, I will" he said as he kissed her other cheek.

The Zoroark giggled "Okay, I'll be back."

The vixen left the room, leaving Aaron alone to mess around on his iPod Touch.

-Later-

Layla stepped out of the shower and used a towel to dry her fur and mane and finished the job with a hair dryer that Aaron's dad bought for her. She exited the bathroom to get Aaron to help dry her back. Before that, she saw Lily and Ryu sleeping peacefully on the couch in the game room with the Lopunny resting on top of the Lucario. Layla smiled at this and headed back to Aaron's bedroom.

Aaron was watching some YouTube videos while sitting on his bed. Layla entered the room and the trainer noticed the Zoroark was smiling. "What are you so happy about?" Aaron asked.

"I think our new guest and Ryu are comfortable with each other," Layla giggled.

"What makes you say that?" Aaron questioned. Layla walked to the bed and grabbed Aaron's hand. "Hey!" The trainer protested to no avail as he got up with Layla pulling him outside the bedroom.

Layla led her boyfriend to the game room and stopped so he got a view of Lily and Ryu sleeping peacefully together under the cover of a blanket. Aaron smiled and chuckled "They look really cute together."

"Kind of like us?" Layla asked with a grin.

"I was going to say Scott and Ramona but sure," Aaron joked.

The Zoroark playfully punched her trainer's shoulder with Aaron running his hand across the spot where she punched him as they laughed silently.

Layla had a thought and began to whisper "Aaron…"

"Huh?" Aaron replied.

"We should go to your bedroom to talk about something," Layla said "I don't want to wake them up."

"Okay..." Aaron nodded confusedly before they walked into the bedroom and closed the door, "What is it?" The trainer asked.

Layla then asked "Well, since Ryu and Lily are a couple, don't you think that they're going to want to…Umm…" The Zoroark blushed and whispered "Get intimate…"

Aaron's eyes opened wide. "Ohh…" He said "Goddammit, I should have thought about that. You don't think they actually did anything last night do you?"

"Umm…" Layla thought out loud "No, if they did then your dad would have heard it. You're a really light sleeper so even you would have heard it."

"Yeah, but I can still sleep through stuff," Aaron admitted "I slept through my dad playing loud rock music a few mornings about a year ago…Anyway, I think we should talk to them about it and make sure that as long as you and I aren't…doing it… then they shouldn't as well. They'll just have to find ways around it like we did."

"Well how are they going to if your dad will hear them from downstairs?" Layla asked.

"If you're okay with it, we can have some sort of routine of sharing the bedroom and couch," The trainer proposed.

"You mean letting them have the bedroom?" The Zoroark asked.

"Yeah," Aaron answered "We could switch every couple days or so. Each couple gets their time in the bedroom and they can get intimate if they want. Do you think that's fair?"

"I'm okay with it as long as you are," Layla said and then asked "How are we going to talk to them about this?"

"Well, we were planning on going out, right?" Aaron said as he hugged his girlfriend "How about we make it a double date?"

"A double date?" She asked confused.

"Yeah," Aaron replied "You and I go out with Ryu and Lily joining us. That way, we get to know Lily a little more, Ryu and Lily can work on their relationship, and we can talk to them about all this later on."

Layla smiled and hugged Aaron tight "Sounds great!" She exclaimed as Aaron returned the hug.

The trainer ran his hand down her back and noticed something. "Umm…Did you still need me to dry your back?" he asked.

"Yeah…" The Zoroark blushed "Sorry."

Aaron laughed lightly "It's alright, Layla. Let's get you dried off."

Layla smiled as Aaron escorted her back to the bathroom. The trainer grabbed the hair dryer and got behind his girlfriend and began drying the fur on her back. He made sure to blow the warm air onto every bit of her fur that was covered up by her mane. While he was behind her, Aaron couldn't help but shift his eyes down lower and admire Layla's rear end which was normally covered by her mane. Layla could see Aaron's eyes in the mirror and she got a grin and reared her butt against his crotch causing him to drop the hair dryer onto the floor.

"Whoops, you should pay more attention," Layla giggled.

Aaron mumbled a little as he reached down to grab the hair dryer. While he did this, the Zoroark got a quick peek at Aaron's butt covered only by his boxers. The vixen made a quiet noise that sounded almost like a purr and lightly patted Aaron's rear end. "Hey!" Aaron replied as he immediately got up.

"If you're going to stare at my ass then don't get mad at me for staring at yours," Layla grinned.

Aaron got a similar grin on his face. The trainer got closer to Layla with her grin becoming more nervous. Aaron placed a hand behind her head and pulled her into a deep kiss. Layla returned the gesture and closed the door with her foot paw. The couple continued their kiss for a few seconds and pulled away slowly and smiled to each other.

Aaron then asked "So…we're alone in the bathroom and everyone else is still asleep at this hour. Do you want get in the shower with me?"

"After you just dried me?" Layla pointed out. Aaron turned the vixen around so that her back was facing Aaron. The trainer directed his mouth to the Zoroark's ear and began to kiss it. "Oh…" Layla moaned as she closed her eyes.

YOU KNOW THE DRILL! LEMON AHEAD!

Aaron continued to kiss Layla's ear gently while the Zoroark noticed her boyfriend was starting to get hard when she felt his erection against her rear. The only restriction between his crotch and her ass was Aaron's boxers. Aaron then placed his hands on the Zoroark's belly and rubbed his fingers into her fur. Layla placed her paws on top of his hands and directed them to her chest where her furry breasts were now exposed. As Aaron began to grope Layla with her assistance, Aaron began to gently nibble her other ear. Layla sighed in pleasure and said "Aaron…That feels….oh…good…"

Aaron continued to please his girlfriend by nibbling her ear and teasing her nipples with his fingers. After pulling his mouth away from Layla's ear, Aaron brought his mouth down lower to Layla's neck and kissed it and opened his eyes to look at his lover in the mirror and see her reaction to him pleasuring her. The trainer kept pleasuring his Zoroark which in turn helped turn him on even more. While he kissed Layla's neck, Aaron drifted a hand lower down his girlfriend's perfect body and lightly touched Layla's slit. "Aaron! Wait" Layla managed to loudly moan out.

"Hmm?" Aaron replied as he pulled away from Layla's neck "Are you okay?"

"Yeah…I just…I want to do this in the shower." Layla answered.

Aaron smiled as Layla turned herself around and helped him take his boxers off. The trainer locked the door and then led her to the shower. Aaron turned the water on and opened the shower curtain to allow Layla to get in as he stepped in with her.

Aaron and Layla got under the shower faucet so they could feel the warm water on their bodies. The human and Zoroark ran their hands and paws all over each other to get every part of them wet. They paid special attention to certain areas more than others. After getting their bodies wet, the couple hugged each other with smiles on their faces.

Aaron was in disbelief at how cute Layla looked to him. Her normally fluffy mane was now soaking wet and almost resembled the long hair of a human girl. This coupled with the wet feeling of her fur against his body had him feeling like it was a dream.

Layla giggled at the stupidly happy grin on Aaron's face and pulled him into a deep loving kiss with her paws behind his head. Aaron returned the kiss and grabbed the red-haired vixen's rear end and pulled her close. The two were now getting back in the mood as Layla grinded against Aaron's thigh and stroking his cock while they both moaned deeply into the liplock.

After getting each other wet in more than one way, the couple pulled away from the kiss panting. Aaron then said "Lay down, babe."

"Like this?" Layla asked with a grin as she lay down at the back end of the tub, spreading her legs as far as possible.

"Perfect," Aaron replied. The trainer knelt down in front of his furry lover, still feeling the warm shower water falling onto his back. The human lowered his head down to Layla's breasts and began to kiss her right nipple gently.

Layla cooed lightly and placed her paw on the back of Aaron's head, running her sharp red claws through his dark brown hair and pulling him towards her bosom. The Zoroark then pulled Aaron away from her breasts and looked to him with a smile. "I think that's enough teasing, Aaron. I want you to really pleasure me," She said.

"Okay," Aaron replied with a lustful smile.

The human moved slightly so that he had room in the shower tub to lower himself down to Layla's vagina. The trainer blew lightly on her slit causing the vixen to shiver. Aaron then brought his tongue out and gave the lips of her pussy a gentle lick. "Aaron!" Layla moaned.

Aaron lapped the love juices that began leaking from Layla's cunt and savored the taste. The trainer continued to eat the Zoroark out while the vixen placed a paw on the back of Aaron's head and the other on her breast so she could tease her nipple. Aaron didn't stop pleasuring Layla but he changed his technique so that his tongue was now teasing her clitoris and his fingers teasing the lips of her vagina. Layla moaned loudly and said "Aaron, don't…Oh!...Don't fucking stop!"

Aaron was a bit surprised at Layla's tone but he also kind of liked it. The human continued to pleasure the vixen with his tongue and fingers causing her to lean her head against the wall of the shower and pull her boyfriend closer to her crotch as she exclaimed in orgasm "Shit! I'm coming!"

The vixen moaned loudly which echoed in the shower as her cunt leaked her with her love fluids. Aaron cleaned off Layla's crotch with his tongue to prevent the sweet nectar from hitting the tub. Layla began panting as she recovered from her orgasm. Aaron got up and placed a hand on her face, rubbing her cheek.

Layla opened her eyes and saw her boyfriend with a smile on his face. The Zoroark returned the smile and licked his cheek. "Your turn!" The vixen said.

Aaron nodded as Layla moved so that the couple could switch places. The trainer was now sitting with his back at the end of the tub and the Zoroark now kneeling in front of him. Layla got closer to Aaron and kissed his neck. Aaron sighed a little and placed a hand on the back of her head and ran his fingers through her soaking wet mane and his other on her rear and gripped her tight.

The trainer sighed deeper as he felt his girlfriend's paw on his genitals. The dark fox ran her paw up and down his shaft, causing him to become fully erect. Layla knew Aaron was ready so she backed away from his neck and lowered herself down Aaron's body, leaving a trail of kisses on his torso and down to his groin where she gave his cock a gentle lick from the base to the tip.

Aaron patted Layla's head, encouraging her to keep going. The Zoroark wrapped her paw around Aaron's rod and continued to lick him for a short time. Layla then released Aaron's dick leaving him confused. "Why'd you stop?" He asked.

"I want to try something different," Layla grinned.

Aaron watched while the Layla cupped her breasts in her paws. The human was confused at first until the dark fox got closer to Aaron's groin and put her breasts around his dick. Layla then moved her wet and furry mounds up and down Aaron's shaft causing him to grunt "Oh God…"

Aaron felt Layla's B-Cup breasts around his cock and began to lightly thrust in time with her movements. The trainer appreciated both the feeling of the Zoroark's wet fur and the friction from her mounds applied to his rod which caused him to moan strongly "Layla…This is incredible…"

Layla kept her breasts around her boyfriend's shaft and tilted her head so that she could take the tip of Aaron's dick into her mouth. Aaron shivered and placed a hand on the back of Layla's head in reaction to her tongue on his tip. The trainer caressed the Zoroark's hair and thrust his pelvis lightly. Aaron looked down to Layla and saw that her eyes were open and she was looking right at him as she continued to suck him off. This erotic image was etched into his mind and the trainer appreciated it until Layla closed her eyes again. Aaron couldn't take much more; the feeling of Layla's breasts around his shaft and her mouth teasing his tip was enough to send him over the edge "Layla!" Aaron grunted.

The trainer shot his load into Layla's mouth which the Zoroark managed to catch with her tongue so she could savor the sweet and salty taste of her boyfriend's seed. The vixen swallowed down the human's cum and tugged on his dick a little to get the last bit of his semen out.

END OF LEMON!

Aaron was breathing heavily as he began recovering from his orgasm. Layla sat down in front of Aaron with her back turned to him so that her rear was right up against his crotch. Aaron felt the wet fur on his torso and crotch and got closer to the Zoroark and kissed her neck gently while his hands rested on her stomach, lightly rubbing her while her paws guided him. Layla turned her head to look at Aaron in the eyes. "So," Aaron began to ask "Was it worth another shower?"

Layla giggled "Do you even need to ask?"

The two lovers smiled and gave each other a few kisses and cuddled as the warm shower water fell on them.

After having their time to get intimate, Aaron and Layla lathered soap onto each other's bodies, shampooed each other's hair, and rinsed off in the shower. The couple exited the shower and got dried off with Aaron re-drying Layla's fur. "Do you think anyone heard us?" Layla whispered.

"I hope not," Aaron replied as he wrapped a towel around his waist and put on the pendant of Arceus "I should use my illusions just in case people are awake."

Layla nodded and handed Aaron his boxers and he used his illusions to make himself invisible while the Zoroark opened the door letting the human walk out of the shower.

-Meanwhile-

Ryu woke up and opened his eyes. He yawned as he looked down and saw Lily sleeping on his chest. The Lucario smiled at the cute sight of the Lopunny and got up slightly to kiss her forehead. Lily moaned lightly and opened her eyes. She realized that she was on top of Ryu and she yawned lightly. "Good morning, Lily," Ryu said with a smile.

"Morning," Lily replied with a yawn and rested her head back on Ryu's chest.

The blue and black jackal smiled. "Still sleepy?" He asked.

"Mmm hmm," The pink and brown rabbit confirmed "Just a little."

"Maybe I should rub your back and help you relax," Ryu suggested.

Lily giggled "Go ahead."

Ryu began nervously running his paws up and down Lily's back. His black paws drifted from her shoulders down to the small of her back and rubbed his paws in a somewhat circular motion. Lily interrupted him "You're shaking."

"Sorry," Ryu apologized "I'm just…nervous, I guess."

"What do you have to be nervous about?" Lily asked.

"I don't know," Ryu blushed "I just don't want to do too much."

Lily placed a paw on his cheek "Don't worry, Ryu. Just relax; you can touch me however you like."

"Okay," Ryu replied still feeling nervous.

He restarted the Lopunny's backrub and was now feeling something strange. He wasn't nervous; he felt calm and began to rub his paws a lot more smoothly through her fur and massaging the small of her back. Lily moaned with a smile and closed her eyes as she cuddled closer to his chest.

"That's it, Ryu…" The rabbit encouraged him "Mmm…right there…"

Ryu continued to rub the Lopunny's back making her feel good and, in a way, himself. He never felt this close to Lily and was glad to finally be like this with his first love. After rubbing her back for another couple minutes, Ryu stopped and Lily looked to him with a smile "You're really good at this."

"Thank you," Ryu smiled back.

"We should do this more of-" Lily paused and heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Lily raised herself up and saw Layla coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. Ryu raised himself up and turned to see the Zoroark as well. Layla noticed the couple was awake and stopped the awkward silence by saying "Uhh…Good morning."

"Good morning, Layla" Lily and Ryu replied.

"Are you two doing okay?" The dark vixen asked.

"Yeah," Lily nodded "We just woke up."

"Oh…" Layla replied.

While Layla was conversing with Lily and Ryu, Aaron snuck into his bedroom to change into a pair of boxers, a pair of blue Levi jeans and a green shirt with the yellow University of Oregon "O" on it. Being a native Oregonian, Aaron liked to watch the Oregon Ducks football team. The team had recently won the Rose Bowl in a close game against Wisconsin. Aaron didn't care much for professional sports aside from baseball but he always paid attention to the U of O's football games. After getting dressed Aaron exited his bedroom and walked to the game room and interrupted the conversation between his Pokémon. "Good morning, you two" Aaron referring to Ryu and Lily.

"Good morning, Aaron," The couple replied.

"So are you two together now?" Aaron asked.

They nodded and Lily said "Yeah."

"Great," Aaron replied "You two should get cleaned up in the next few hours because we're all going out together."

"For training?" Ryu asked.

Layla shook her head "Nope, we're all going out on a date together."

"A date?" Lily questioned.

The Zoroark then explained "A date is where a couple goes out somewhere to spend time together. It's really fun."

"Yeah," Aaron said "I was thinking we could go get pizza for lunch and then maybe go to the park."

"That does sound fun," Lily said excitedly.

Ryu wasn't completely into the idea but he wanted to make Lily happy. The Lucario nodded "Sure, we'll go."

"Alright," Aaron said "You two take a shower and have breakfast. We'll leave the house at 11:30 so you have about four hours."

"Alright," Lily and Ryu replied.

-Some Time Later-

Aaron and Layla took a ride on Ken's back to Angelo's, one of Aaron's favorite pizza places. After the human and Zoroark got off the Charizard, Aaron said "Thanks Ken, return!" The trainer put his Pokémon back in the Poké Ball and pulled out two more and commanded "Come on out, Ryu and Lily!"

The Poké Balls opened and the Lucario and Lopunny popped out. Lily fell down on her rear on the pavement. "Ow!" She exclaimed "I still can't get used to that Poké Ball thing."

"You'll figure it out," Ryu stated helping his girlfriend up.

While Ryu comforted Lily, Layla sniffed the air, noting an aroma she didn't notice until now. It wasn't the pizza in the restaurant, it was something else. The Zoroark kept sniffing until she then realized where the pleasant scent was coming from. "Aaron," Layla smiled.

"What?" The trainer asked.

"You're wearing cologne!" Layla stated "You know you don't have to do that for me."

"Well," Aaron replied as he scratched his head "I just figured that I might as well put some on when we go out. Plus I haven't used it in a while so I have to put it to use somehow."

Layla giggled and hugged her trainer "Well, you do smell nice."

Aaron pulled away from the hug leaving Layla confused "We have a double date, remember?"

Layla looked behind her and saw Ryu and Lily waiting patiently next to the front door. "Oh right…" Layla blushed slightly.

The trainer and his three Pokémon walked into the pizza parlor which had many tables taken but a few were always still open. Aaron walked with Layla, Lily, and Ryu to the counter and the female worker who was in her twenties greeted him. "Hi, what can I get for you today?"

"We're going to get a medium pepperoni pizza and a pitcher of Mountain Dew for us four," Aaron replied. Ryu cleared his throat. "Aaron," The Lucario said as he drew the trainer's attention to the Lopunny. Aaron then realized "Oh, and a mini vegetarian pizza. The order will be under the name 'Aaron'."

"Okay," The worker added his total "That will be $30.90." Aaron pulled out his debit card which the worker ran and handed him a receipt to sign. The trainer handed the copy to her and the lady handed him four glasses and a filled pitcher of soda on a tray "Okay, here's the soda and glasses. We'll call you up when it's ready, Aaron."

"Thanks," Aaron replied and then walked with his Pokémon to their table as he carried the tray with the pitcher and glasses.

The trainer filled everyone's glass with Mountain Dew and handed them to everyone at the table. Everyone took a few drinks of the soda with Lily taking a small sip at first and then took a gulp of it liking the taste. "This tastes good," Lily stated and then asked "What is this called?"

"It's Mountain Dew," Aaron answered "It's basically sugary and flavored water that people-"

The trainer was interrupted by a burp from Lily. The Lopunny covered her mouth and blushed "Excuse me…"

Aaron and Layla laughed a little. "Don't worry about it, Lily," Aaron said "Happens to everyone."

Lily felt a little more comfortable and continued to drink a little more of the soda along with the rest of the group until Aaron then started a conversation again. "So Lily, are you and Ryu considering having a child?"

Lily nodded "Yeah, we talked about it last night but Ryu said we should bring it up to you."

"Right," Aaron replied "Layla and I were going to talk to you two about that." The trainer sighed and said silently "Lily…We can't have you and Ryu mating yet.

"I know," Lily stated a little disappointed "Ryu mentioned that you can't afford it so you and Layla are waiting too." She then asked "Do you know how long exactly it will be before we can?"

"I don't know," Aaron answered "I have two more years of college after this term and I'll have to find a job that pays well so I can move out and help my parents pay off the college loans. I am getting this job at the mall but the pay is pretty slim because I won't be working very many hours so I wouldn't be able to support you and Ryu's child much less me and Layla's."

"Oh…" Lily's long ears drooped down lower than they already did.

"But don't worry" Aaron stated "There will be a day when you two can have a child together, just try to take things slow and get more comfortable with each other, okay?"

"Okay," Lily nodded looking at Ryu with them both smiling to each other.

"Also," Aaron began "Layla and I agreed and we're offering to share my bedroom with you and Ryu."

"What do you mean?" Ryu asked.

The trainer then explained "It's simple; you and Lily get the bedroom for the next two days while Layla and I will sleep in the game room together. We'll switch every two days so that we all get our alone time."

"Sounds good to me," Ryu nodded.

"Me too," Lily agreed with a smile.

Aaron felt a vibration in the pocket of his pants and the DK Rap playing from his phone. "I'll be back. Sorry, everyone."

The Pokémon nodded as Aaron walked out of the restaurant to answer his phone "Hello?"

"Aaron?" A voice said "It's Tim."

"Tim?" Aaron replied "Can this wait a few hours? I'm kind of on a date right now."

"This is really important," His friend answered.

The trainer sighed "Okay what is it?"

"You know that pendant you have?" Tim asked.

"Yeah…" Aaron answered waiting for more to be said.

"I have something similar to it," Tim stated "It's called the Orb of Darkrai."

Aaron stayed silent for about five seconds and then exclaimed "WHAT?!"

End of Chapter Twenty-Six

This concludes the latest chapter of my fanfic. I'm sorry that it took almost four months and it resulted in many questions of if I'm still on the site or I'm still alive. Well, this is the answer: Yes. I'm still on the site and I'm alive and well. I checked out for a few months taking a break to focus on college and figure out what the Hell it is I'm going to do once I graduate. I'm still finding the answer to that question but I am going to be focusing my energy on a project that I've wanted to do for awhile but never had the resources to do so until now. If you're interested in what it is I'm talking about send me a message because I'm still in the stage of getting it started and I don't want it to look like I'm advertising for something.

So anyway, I'm sorry for checking out for a few months but I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. I don't know how long it will be before I release a new one due to college and everything else but I hope to get started on the next chapter soon…if every video game I like playing these days doesn't distract me, that is. Also, I offered a person on this site to help proofread for me but I proofread this one on my own. I won't mention him by name but I will get in contact with him soon.

I've rambled on in this post-chapter entry enough so I'll just say that I appreciate everyone's support for me and the story over the past two years despite the lack of activity (Seriously, this is only the fifth chapter since the first anniversary and before that I had twenty written). I hope to get some more content posted soon so be sure to follow me and the story and always provide me with feedback in the reviews. With that all said and done, my name is Aaron (Thor-Axe18) and I'll be back soon with a new chapter.
