Lazuli: I don't know. You adding that scene is making some questionable choices.

Evo: I did mention it will be a rare thing so, won't be seeing another one anytime soon.

Lily: We could always remove it hehe...oh please can we *blushes*


Chapter 23 Path to hardship

"Well, What happened to you, Blaze?" Asked the Young boy, curiously waiting to hear the story.

"Yea, tell us." The sister said in unison. All three eagerly waiting for the fire type to tell her back story.

"Ok ok, don't need to be so pushy. It all started back home, on Mt. Lanakila in the island of Ula'Ula…" said the Vulpix named Blaze looked off towards the window.

Blaze/Yumi's PoV

"The Red tribe and White tribe of the Ninetails species are at peace with each other. We, the Red tribe, came from a far away region of Kanto. A few generations ago my tribe was smuggled into this region by bad humans wearing all black with a weird symbol on the chest. But that's besides the point since I knew one of you was gonna ask me who fire type Ninetails are on this island." I glanced at the Eevee lowering her paw. Sighing before continuing.

"Anyway. One day, there was an important ceremony, Yumi's wedding. Although, It wasn't what you expected…

(Y)

"In our family, our first born son would be next in line to lead the tribe as the next alpha, but there was a problem. The royal family is said to have a gift as proof of royalty. That gift is the ability to summon a hail storm. My brother did not have this gift. So, as the princess, I was forced into a marriage ceremony with the strongest male in our tribe. Unfortunately, that strongest male is my brother…"

(B)

"Unlike the white tribe that has a male with the gift to summon hail storms, the Red tribe can summon a heat wave similar to the sun's rays that beat on us. Not only that, our alpha is always female. But for Yumi, She was devastated by the outcome of her first love had to be her own brother. She didn't want any of this. So, she ran away from home the night before the ceremony. Things got worse when my own sister, the current alpha, decided to take advantage of the situation. She wanted the prince of the white tribe to herself. That bitch wanted someone in our tribe to capture her as a hostage to make Yumi's brother her mate. I stepped up and told her it would be easy if I went to capture her since we are friends and she's more trusting towards me. So I took off to find her…"

(Y)

"I loved my family very much. But for my father, the current alpha, to tell me I must mate with my own blood to keep the bloodline pure til I give birth to a prince with the gift. Why…why should I have to give up my own happiness for that!? I wanted to fall in love with someone and have my first time with that male, not my brother. I ran for so long, I ended up in the one place I loved exploring. An abandoned human house with lots of stuff like a basket on wheels. But that's when Blaze found me…"

(B)

"Eventually I found her in the spot I thought I checked first. After all, it was our favorite place to be. Other pokemon stayed clear of it because of the ghosts. Truth be told, they weren't scary at all. We had lots of fun there playing with the ghost type pokemon there. When I saw her, she was with Totem Mimikyu. She was like a second mother to all of us and even tried training us to use some moves over the many moons we spent there. I was relieved when I found Yumi. Rushing over to tackle her down. We both cried a bit over the course of recent events…"

(Y)

"I was so happy to see Blaze when she tackled me. The only female who I see and love as a sister. To feel relaxed knowing I have someone like her with me at this moment. After I told Totem Mimikyu about what's happening, she suggested that we leave the island. We didn't want to leave the island but it's for the best. Blaze looked at me and asked if I was completely okay with this decision. My mind is set. I don't want to be a toy for anyone so I agreed on leaving. Seeing Blaze be supportive of me helped me alot, emotionally. So we set off, just me and my sis. Our new life is on another island…

(B)

"But no one said the world was a nice place… It was full of disgusting and scum pokemon. When we got there, a bunch of males tried hitting on us. Then we ran into that bastard, Mightyena, who found us. Saving us from those slimy males and being nice to us by getting us on a boat to a new island. But once we got on that boat, his true colors showed. Attacking Yumi with a Fire-type move hurting her badly. I tried to help but… but…"

I started to cry as I began to tell this part.

"But I was too weak!! He beat me down like I was nothing with ghost moves! I… I layed there as he was abusing the one female in my life I would call my sister. Biting her… kicking… when he was done, he started…"

I felt a hand was placed on my hand. The human in the audience told me I didn't have to continue talking about that part and they got the idea of what happened. Whipping away my tears as I continued my story.

"Before he did the deed of taking her innocent, I snapped a convincing argument about taking our virginity. Told him he probably would enjoy it more if we were in heat when our urges are at it's perk. Luckily he took the bait and we had time to think…"

(Y)

"Even with Blaze giving us time to think, it also meant more abusive assaults on us. Every day he got more aggressive and eventually started licking me everywhere. Including… umm.."

Tears started rolling down and a big blush appeared on my snow face from sheer embarrassment and shame. Hiding my face in my paws.

"My special spot. I felt so uncomfortable every time he did that to us. Making me squirt daily, forcing us to fetch him food, and even threatening us if we can't make him happy by… licking and sucking that disgusting member of his!! Shooting that sticky white stuff over us and even made us drink it…"

I collapsed to the floor in a full meltdown. Crying like a little kit. Just reimagining everything that dark-type did to us. How we were powerless to the point of breaking of will. In the mits of my breakdown, I was pulled by my paws into the cat pokemon that was in front of me with a comfortable and warm embrace. Holding me close and hugging me tightly. I said nothing much and just continued to cry my heart out. Hope… you're a nice male...

(B)

"After that, we hopped on another boat since he messed up on the boat traveling to the wrong island he wanted. We ended up on the boat headed for this island next. That's when I had a plan to use a male pokemon I met, a luxio named Hope. I know it was horrible of me to use others like that but it was the only way for us to escape. I acted innocent so I could hug him from behind to make my move. I had to get his scent on my so I had to rub my sex against his body just enough so the scent would stick to me. I went back, he smelled the scent and ran off, I grabbed Yumi and we ran to the back of the boat. Thanks to Mimikyu, we made friends with a ghost and water type pokemon that helped us get to shore faster. We thought we were in the clear, until this human female attacked us. We were already weak from everything that happened. Next thing I know, she picked up Yumi and walked off. Leaving me behind. I cried so much, to have all my efforts to save us, to save her was all for nothing. Only for some human to take her away from me. I passed out shortly after. Luckily I was saved by a couple nice pokemon from the forest who treated me. But as soon as I was able to walk again, I started my search for my sis. I made the mistake of running out in the rain but I didn't care. After searching for a while, my stomach was hurting me for food and tried to look in those metal cans, but I slipped and hurt myself. Next thing I know, I'm here."

Lily's PoV

After everything was said, the room became quiet. Not in a good way either. Between the story, her using Hope, and how she still couldn't save what's important to her was too much. None of us could be mad at her for what she did to Hope. I think anyone in that situation would do the same. Leon was the first to speak to her of what he thinks.

"Listen Blaze, what you did was both right and wrong. Sure, you got out of a dangerous situation but you also put someone else's life on the line. Hope almost died that day. Not only that, he was out friend that was taken away from us by a bad man because of the brawl of Hope and Mightyena that took place and Hope was the one who killed him." My boyfriend said to the young fire type.

Her ears fell flat and looked away. Knowing she was wrong for how things turned out and to his words. What surprised us most was what he did next. The human picked up the disheartened vixen and held her close to his chest. Her face looked to be in shock at the kind gesture. Me and sis got the hint and join in on the hug.

"Listen, What happened in the past is in the past. We can not change what we did, but we can learn from our mistakes and make ourselves an even better self. Wouldn't you agree, Blaze?" He said with a calming smile. For the female, she started crying again.

"I'M SORRY!! ..I'm so sorry… I just wanted us to live a better life… I'm sorry.." The sad pokemon said as she hiccup and sob in-between her sentences.

We offered her our help to look for her and even let her stay with us for as long as she wants. She quietly nodded yes to it and started to drift into a long deserving sleep. Knowing now she's in a safe place, the poor girl finally feels safe enough to rest after so long. Leon took the sleeping pokemon to the bedroom and tucked her in before coming back out. Now that we know why all that happened, it's what we do next is the thing.

"She seems to have gone through alot with family and tribe problems. And most of all that her 'sister' got taken away by some human like Hope was. Not only that.." My sis said while glaring are Leon. Me and him had a confused look. "It's another female!! You better not try anything. You have us so don't you think about hurting me and Lily over this firefox." She continued with puffy cheeks like she's mad. We both giggled at her jealousy and he just said okay.

Still thought, all this talk about Hope made us miss him more. I wonder how he's doing.

Yumi's PoV

I must have fallen asleep at some point. It seems to be dawn already outside and rain has passed. Hope must have put me on something soft for me to sleep well. This bed is so soft, warm and… moving? I opened my eyes completely to see Hope's sleeping face. My face lit up red, seeing how I was sleeping on top of him. I wanted to get off quickly but I was afraid I would wake him up.

(He's so… cute.) I say to myself as my gaze on him becomes more.

I can feel the heat rising on my face and in my body. I've never felt anything like this. I just wanna rub his soft fur more. He wouldn't mind if I did while he's asleep, would he? I slowly started moving my paw across his soft chest. Hope's fur really is soft and silky. As I was rubbing, I heard faint moans coming from his sleeping state.

(Does he like this alot? Males are weird.) I continue talking to myself as I explore more of his upper body.

All of a sudden he began to move. Flipping his body to the side and bringing me with him. I looked back up to see his adorable sleeping face. If my blushes weren't red enough, I felt my whole head was red and steam was coming off. Something in my body started taking over. My face was getting closer and closer to the male's face. Do i...want this? Just when something good was gonna happen, the unexpected took place.

"GOOD MORNING WORLD!!" Yelled the happy go lucky female that was also sleeping with us in the room. Glancing over at me being really close to Hope, I think something popped in her head. "Hey, I think we need to have some 'girl talk'. Let's go." The female electric type grabbed me by the back of my neck and started dragging me away from the room.

"Wa-wa-wait!! I don't need a 'girl talk' vuuuuulllllll!!!!!!" I whined as my attacker took me away. What is this happening to meee!?!

Blaze's PoV

"..."

"Something on your mind, Blaze?" Said the human behind me. I hardly noticed him at all. Guess there is just so much on my mind.

"...A few things, but nothing you have to worry about." Replying back to him. All I want to do is stare off at the beach. It seems that I'm always watching the waves. Coming from a fire type like me, it seems weird that I love the water. Water can hurt me, but I've been around water type pokemon all my life.

"Hey. Lazuli didn't do anything weird to you, did she?" He asked me with a concern torn.

I pondered the question and was curious about what he meant by that. After replying no with a head shake, Leon slowly opened the door to the bedroom where us females were sleeping. Now I understood what he meant. Lazuli seems to be licking her sister's mane in her sleep and Lily has this creeped out look and red face. I kinda feel bad for her.

"Umm Leon, there is something I've been curious about. I just realized that you can understand me. How are you able to do that?" I asked nicely while I went over to an object full of water to drink.

"Wait, it took you this long to realize that? Man, you're slow." He replied with a chuckle. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by that and spit a little ember at the cup he's holding. Guess it was too hot for him, dropping it to the ground. Giggling at my little revenge.

"Haha glad to see your fire is back in your belly. Anyway, the girls will show you around and things you could help do while I'm at the Café today." Packing up his stuff and headed out the door. This male is very different. Perhaps not all males are bad.

Turning my attention back to the bedroom, things have gotten weirder. It seems Lazuli found Lily's tail and decided to like it. Talking in her sleep about cotton candy. Whatever that is. Still, I hope I can find you again soon...Yumi. Please be safe.


Evo: *writes mini stories*

Lazuli: ….what is he doing?

Blaze: I could be wrong but maybe these are short stories of what we do whenever Leon isn't around.

Lazuli: *builds a rifle* Let's take him out before it's too late.

Lily: Oh dear… I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Till next time *waves*

……*bang*
