I would like to formally apologize to everyone you followed this story, and were expecting a new chapter. After two or three months, the next chapter of Frank's Pokemon journey is revealed but before that I'd like to reply to all reviews from Chapter 9 and the Author's note.

Anonymousfornow: I really thank you for your wonderful comments. I'm also writing (or continuing) a Naruto story is you are interested to read.

Species Unknown: Davonte is based almost exactly off of the real one, the reason Frank hit him is going to be revealed in this chapter.

As the morning sun beams its blinding light through the window in the guest bedroom of Taylor's house in Frank's face, he covers his head with the bed covers to avoid the harsh light from his eyes. As he seems to fall back asleep, Johnny comes busting into the room and jumps on top of Frank. Frank suddenly screams in pain, Johnny not knowing what he did quickly jumps off the bed and begins to cry. Frank hearing this quickly gets out of the bed, revealing to be wear red flannel sleeping pant and slightly bloody bandages around his chest, and goes to comfort the crying little boy. "Hey… Johnny, I'm sorry I screamed. It's not your fault."

The young boy began to wipe up his tears. "It's not?" Frank shaking his head no; Johnny then harshly hugs into the chest of Frank, which cause Frank to cringe in pain but not let the boy see it. The little boy then looked up to his big brother-like figure. "Mommy and Taylor took me to wake you up to get ready for breakfast and your gym battle."

"Tell them I'll be down after I freshen up, ok?" With that being said, Johnny nods his head in approval and runs out of the bedroom towards the kitchen. Frank rubbing the back of his head walks to the nearby dresser and grabs a set of clean clothes and walks into the guest bedroom's bathroom. Turning on the water to get the water warm enough to stand in, Frank begins to try removing his bandages but seem to not be able to. "Damn bandages won't come off, I think I need-"

"Help?" A feminine voice suddenly cuts off Frank, causing his to jump and turn quickly. Once Frank is fully turned around, he sees Taylor leaning in the door way wearing a pink shirt and black jeans. "Listen I wanted to talk but I see you're about to get clean and seem to have some trouble. So… How about I help remove the bandages and once you are done in the shower I help apply new bandages?"

"Sure, I don't mind getting help." With that being said Frank turns his back to Taylor, which she then walks over and begin removing the bandages. As Taylor is removing the bandages off of Frank, she can help but touch his back with light and a gently strokes. With him feeling the gently touch of Taylor across sections of his back, Frank can't feel anything but a great deal of erotic pleasure.

The pleasure increased even more when Taylor decided to wrap her arm around Frank's torso and stroke his chest as she removed the bandages. Once she was finished removing the bandages, Taylor gently closed her arms around Frank's stomach and placed her head in between his shoulder blades. As he felt comfort starting to creep in, it suddenly went away when he began to feel a warm but wet substance running down his back with small dreadful moans. "Why did you do it? Why are you playing with my heart?"

When Frank was able to loosening the grip of Taylor's arms, he turns around so Taylor's head is on his chest and begins stroking her hair in comfort. "Taylor, please look at me." Taylor then squeezed tighter into his chest, which caused a sharp pain to travel throughout Frank's chest making him wince. Taylor feeling the sudden jump of Frank, she looks up to see Frank with a pained smile on his face. "I promise whatever I did to make you think I was playing with your heart, I am truly sorry; but you need to understand that everything that has and will happen on this journey to us, we can do it together. As long as I have you and Matt by my side, we can take on any challenge that crosses our path. Whether it's a gym battle, a contest or personal problems. We can through it."

Taylor looks into Frank's eyes seeing the determination and kindness in them. As she looks deeper into Frank's eyes and falls almost into a trace of some sort. Without thinking Taylor begins to wrap her arms around Frank's neck and give him a very passionate kiss. As Taylor pulls Frank in toward her to get a much more passionate kiss, she jumps on to him wrapping her legs round his stomach. This causes Frank to begin losing his balance and fall backwards into the warm shower and pulling down the curtain, Taylor getting wet from the shower is completely oblivious to the water.

"Taylor, honey… Did you wake Frank up and tell him to get ready?" A sweet female voice and footsteps can be heard coming from the hallway. When the footsteps stop, Taylor's mom is standing in the doorway. "Taylor, what are you doing to Frank?!" This sudden outburst of Taylor's mom was able to snap Taylor out of her trance to realize that she was sitting on top of Frank and was warm but soaked from the shower. Taylor quickly gets off Frank and runs out of the bathroom, slipping past her mom swiftly. With Taylor now running away crying of embarrassment, her mom quickly looks back to see Frank struggling to get out of the shower; so she quickly goes to help him. "Frank… I need you to get ready. After you do that, I want you to talk to Taylor. I think maybe if you talked to her, she will be able to calm down."

"Mam, we all do respect. I don't think that I'm the best person that should talk to her, after this little 'moment' we just had." Frank saying in a confident, but unsure, voice. Taylor's mom understanding the uncomfortable situation between the two teens, but she really hoped that the two would end up together.

"Well hopefully, if not maybe, Taylor will calm down after I talk to her." Taylor's mom then walks over to the bedroom closet and putts out two walky-talkies and places it next to Frank's extra pile of clean clothes. "Once you are all dried up and have placed your pants on, use this to contact one of us so we can help re-wrap the rib cages; okay?" Frank could to nothing but nod in approve as the mother walks out of the room and closes the door behind her.

~ Time Skip of 10 minutes ~

Once Frank had dried himself off to where he was barely damp and places his pants. Once the clean pants (which are black with a white stripe going down each leg) on, get grabs the device left for him to obtain help and begins speaking into it. "This is Red Devil needing assistance from anyone who's available, over!"

After about 30 seconds of waiting a reply a voice came over. "This is Yellow Flash, assistance in the form of Cherry Blossom is on the way, over!" The moment the voice was finished talking, Taylor walked into the room with a small blush on her face with her head looking towards the ground. Frank clearly could understand the embarrassment of Taylor. "Frank, I-"

Taylor with the strength she could bare in her voice, he tried to speak with only little coming out before getting cut off with a surprised response from Frank. "I Love You, Taylor…" Taylor unable to bare the guilty of the mistakes made earlier in the day tries to run, only to be held in place by her arm being held by Frank. Trying to break free from the grip with no success, she continued to struggle until her lips feel a warm but wet skin like sensation on them. She opens her eyes to see Frank kissing her with so much love and passion that she feels like a cube of sugar melting in a warm cup of coffee, then decides to push her lips with as much love and passion onto Frank's lips.

After several seconds of kissing the two are interrupted when a cough is heard; when Frank and Taylor look to see where the source of the cough came from, all they see is a serious looking Matt leaning against the doorway. "I hate to interrupt the make-out session taking place here; but I highly suggest that you two hurry up and get breakfast, so Frank can get make it for his gym battle against Forrester." With that being said, Matt walked from the door way to the kitchen. As Taylor quickly and precisely wraps the bandages around Frank's torso; leaving it to where it was snug, but allowed Frank to move freely. She left the room after giving one more kiss on Frank's cheek, which then allowed Frank to gather his stuff and get his shirt on.

After getting breakfast and cleaning the dishes, the group of Frank, Matt and Taylor rush to the Pewter City Gym. When they got there, they are greeted by Davonte with his new Eevee sitting perched on his shoulder proudly. "Hey Frank, hey Taylor." Davonte says as he and Frank extend their hands into a handshake which leads to an intense stare-off between the two ending in heart-warming smiles. The two release their grips and Davonte walks over to Matt and stares at him for a couple of seconds and extending his hand towards Matt before speaking again. "You must be Matt; hopefully the next time we meet I can get the chance to battle you."

Matt seeing the kind jester of Davonte, he accepts the handshake. "Hopefully, that battle can come soon. But, for now this moment is for Frank and let's gives him all the support we can give."

Frank then turns towards the big metal doors of the gym and pushes them open. "Forrester! I have come to challenge you gym for its Boulder badge!"
