I called out when we got back to my house

"Hey mom!" I called out. "We're back!

"Alright!" She called back. "Wait who's we?"

I went into the family room with Kirlia and we sat and the couch.

"My Pokemon and I!" I called.

"Okay." She replied. "Dinner will be ready in about five minutes."

"Alright!" I called again as I looked to Kirlia. "You look comfy." I then laughed.

"I guess so, why is that bad?" Kirlia asked.

"Nah I just think that you look really cute right now." I told her.

"Do you really think so?" Kirlia asked.

"Yeah I do." I told her as I moved closer.

I leaned in closer and gave her a peck on the cheek. She gained an enormous blush at that. It was adorable. I pulled her closer to me. Then I let her on my lap so that we could be close.

"I love you Kirlia." I told her.

"I love you too Tony." She replied.

We just sat there being in love with each other. Then my mom called in for dinner, snapping us out of our trance. She called me into the kitchen.

"Your Pokemon can eat in here, I've got bowls ready." Mom told me.

"Okay thanks." I replied happily.

"No problem." She said. "Can you grab that and bring it to the table?" She asked pointing to a bowl on the counter.

The bowl was a kind of fruit salad. It had bits of pineapples, Oranges, Cherries, Watermelon, and I also saw some marshmallows for whatever reason. I then took it out to the table and set it next to the loaded pork chops. When I smelled them my mouth started watering, but now that I saw them, I'm positive that I'm almost drooling. I saw my mom sit down, so I pulled out a chair and took a seat. I saw Kirlia do the same beside me.

"Oh I'm sorry." My mom said. "I thought you were going to be eating over there with the others." She said too Kirlia.

"She always eats next to me." I said to my mom.

"Maybe so but she has a spot out there." My mom said pointing to the kitchen where the others were eating.

"Do I have to go?" Kirlia asked me.

"I think so." I told her. "I'm sorry."

She got up, hung her head and sulked the whole way there. I felt so bad. I really didn't like seeing her so sad.

"Why did she try sitting here?" My mom asked.

"She always eats next to me." I said.

"Why is that?" My mom asked while we started fixing our plates.

"We're really close." i said. "When we met, I saved her life, so... yeah."

"Oh i see." My mom replied. "So how did you meet her?" She asked.

"Well it was day two." I started. "I heard a sort of cry so I went to check it out. I saw Kirlia as a Ralts and Mawile. They were walking together so I took a chance to try to catch them. I had Mudkip come out to battle and the Mawile jumped in so after a quick battle, I was able to catch Mawile. Then, Kirlia turned to run away. She ran and fell into a river and I saw a water fall coming up and the only way I could help was to catch her, then wait for the ball to fall over the falls, then retrieve it. So that's what I did.

"Oh wow, I'm just glad you weren't hurt." My mom said now looking a little concerned. "Why did you go through all of that though?"

"I couldn't just let her go over the edge and fall to her death." I said.

"Glad you think that way, I've raised you well." She said. "So, how long are you planning on staying?"

"At least until after dad comes back." I answered. "I know his two weeks end in two days."

"He'll be glad that you did that." Mom said. "We were both always wanting to know how you were doing."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, we missed having you around and we worried." She told me.

"I had no idea." I said while biting into my main course.

I got such a weird look from my mom. I guess I must have started drooling for real this time.

"These are just as amazing as I remember." I praised my mom as she smiled.

We both sat there for a few minutes. waiting very quietly. Then my mom spoke up.

"So how is your journey going so far?" She asked.

"Pretty good." I said. "I've caught about I think eight different Pokemon. And I've got two badges. I think I'm off to a good start."

"Yep, sounds like it." She said.

I decided that this time it was my turn to ask something.

"So where is Jake?" I asked. "Is he at that school in Rustboro?"

"Yes, he is." Mom said.

"That stinks, I won't be able to say hi and I didn't stop by on my way through." I complained.

"Yeah he would have liked for you to have said hi." Mom told me.

"Yeah I know." I said.

Jake was my little brother he is about 11 and last I saw he was about 4'6". He had brown hair and eyes. He wasn't thin but not really chubby either, I'd probably say average. He had a small temper but was learning to control it.

By now we were finishing up our dinner. So I returned everyone but Kirlia who went to go sit on the couch. I wanted to clear up space so that we could get through with our dishes. My mom proceeded to fill a side of the sink with soapy water so I placed my plate in the water.

"Hey mom, I'm going to go take a shower I'll be back down after." I told her.

"Alright." She replied.

So I took Kirlia up to my room. I motioned for her to sit on my bed. Then I switched on my TV and handed her the remote.

"Wow this bed is comfy." Kirlia said while bouncing up and down.

"Well yes this is where I live and so I'd hope that my bed is comfy." I laughed. "Anyway, I'm going to take a shower. I'll be back when I'm done."

"Okay." She replied while still bouncing.

With that I went in the bathroom closing the door behind me. I turned the water on and got in after getting ready.

-Kirlia PoV-

"Wow this bed is so soft, I can't wait to see how I sleep on it. This is so much nicer than the ones at the Pokemon Centers. And sharing it with Tony will be so much nicer." I thought to myself.

Just then, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of rain. I turned to look out the window but it was dry. I looked and tried really hard to find it but was unable. Then as I started walking it got louder. It was coming from the room Tony was in. I wanted to see what was going on, so I opened the door a little bit. It got even louder. So, I went to ask what was going on.

"Tony?" I asked.

"Wait, wha?!" Said a black figure behind a curtain.

"Tony! Where are you?" I freaked out. "Something is in your house!"

Then the curtain moved. It was tony behind it, I felt so stupid. His face was bright red. I ran over to him.

"Tony your face is red, what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Nothing!" He shouted while holding the curtain in front of himself. "I'm fine, get out."

"What?" I asked. "I heard rain in here and your face is red. Something might be wrong."

"No, just go." He said.

"Fine." I said as I looked down and left, closing the door behind me.

I went over to the bed and sat beside it. I just felt so upset.

"I only wanted to help." I thought to myself. "I thought something was wrong."

About 5 minutes later, the door opened and Tony walked out. I looked at him for a second then back down to my feet. Then he spoke up.

"Listen, Kirlia." He said. "I'm not mad at you and I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm really sorry, you just caught me off guard and I got scared."

"You didn't have to yell at me." I pouted.

"I was naked and in the shower, I didn't know what else to do." Tony tried to reason.

"So what, I was worried and got yelled at for trying to help." I yelled. "Besides what does being naked have to do with anything? Who cares?"

"I do." He said.

"I don't, I'm a Pokemon." I said. "All kinds of Pokemon go around naked. I've probably seen a lot more than someone my age should have by your standards. By my standards though, it's perfectly normal. You hurt me, really bad just now."

"I didn't mean to." He started. "I'm really sorry."

We just sat there quiet while he tried to dry his hair more.

"It's okay." I said. "I just overreacted. I shouldn't have lost it."

"I'm sorry too." He said. "I should have kept calm. Anyway, it's time to go to sleep." He told me as he climbed into bed. "You can stay down there or you can join me, your choice."

I looked up at him then climbed up and snuggled right up next to him. I was right, this is better with him right here. I smiled as I drifted off to sleep next to my mate. When I awoke in the morning he was gone and for a minute, I forgot where I was. But then after a minute I realized what was going on, so I got up and went to go find Tony. I found him downstairs talking to his mom while making breakfast. The others were out of their Pokeballs and were eating as well.

"Hey, Kirlia, come on over." Tony called.

As I got over there and sat down, he gave me a plate of food. He then motioned for me to eat it.

"Sorry I didn't wake you." He apologized. "You looked really peaceful and I didn't want to disturb you."

"It's okay, thanks for making me food." I said.

Tony replied with a simple, "You're welcome."

We sat there while I ate and he talked to his mom. He then returned the others after they had eaten. Then after I ate, he washed the things that I used (I'm still learning the names of those things though.). Then I overheard some of their conversation after the clean up.

- Tony's PoV -

"So you've got two badges so far?" Mom asked. "That's good."

"Yep my Pokemon are giving it their all, and I couldn't be prouder." I said as I saw Kirlia blush out of the corner of my eye.

"Okay so now the juicy stuff." Mom said. "You have a girlfriend yet?"

"Yes I do." I answered.

"OH I bet it's that May girl you brought through that one time." She said loudly. "Speaking of which, where was she? She could've stayed here."

"No, it's not her." I replied.

"Oh, then who is it?" Mom asked.

"My Kirlia is my girlfriend." I said.

The look on here face went from playful to serious. It kinda scared me.

"I'm sorry, I think I misheard you." She said. "Could you say that again?"

"Yeah, I just said that Kirlia is my girlfriend." I repeated as I pulled Kirlia close.

"Get out!" Mom yelled."

"What?" I asked.

"Get out of my house!" She repeated. "I thought I raised you better than that! You're no longer part of this family."

"But, mom." I tried to reason.

"Stop calling me mom, and leave before I call the police!" She screamed.

I just hung my head and left the place that I used to be able to call home. I was so depressed that I wasn't sure what to do next so I went next door to get my Pokemon back. I walked into the building and called out to the Prof.

"Hey Prof. Birch!" I called out.

"Ah Tony, what brings you here?" Prof. Birch asked.

"I'm here to pick up my Pokemon." I replied.

"Oh you're early." He said. "I thought you'd be here for a few days. Did something happen?"

"No, everything is fine." I replied sadly.

"Okay, follow me this way." Prof. Birch said while waving towards another room.

I followed past a bunch of weird flashing machines, which was kind of expected. Then went to another room that led outdoors. I saw them sitting next to each other and heard them talking, although i didn't know what about.

"Braixen and Luxio!" The Prof. called out.

They both looked over and came running. Then I heard a voice in my head.

"Hi Tony." Braixen greeted. "Are we leaving?"

"Yes." I replied with a nod. "Thank you." I said turning to the Prof.

"No, thank you." He replied. "I was able to get a good amount of research done."

With a nod, I returned them to their Pokeballs and went on my way.

"Tony what happened at your house?" Kirlia asked.

"My mom kicked me out of the family." I said while sulking some more. "I thought she'd be happy that I found someone to love. But, I guess not." I said as I stopped and sat down for a moment. "I'm glad you're still here for me. You're all the family I have anymore."

"And I don't plan on going anywhere, ever." She replied while giving me a hug. "We will always be together right Tony?"

"Yes." I replied. "Always, it's a promise."

"I love you Tony." Kirlia said while blushing.

"I love you too Kirlia." I said while hugging her tighter than we already were.

We sat there like that for about 10 minutes. After that we got up and continued on our way. Although the next following hours back to Route 110 were pretty uneventful except for about 2 O' clock when when we stopped for lunch. I was still hurt about what had happened. We manged to make it to Slateport by 8 so we got a room.

"Okay Tony..." Kirlia started.

"Yes what is it?" I asked.

"That room." She said. What goes on in there? It always sounds like it's raining and your weren't wearing anything in there."

"Okay come on in with me it'll be easier if you're in there." I said completely embarrassed.

I didn't know how to explain it with out her in there.

"You turn these and water will start flowing." I said as I turned a dial. "This one makes hot water and this one is cold. Then when you get a temperature that you like, you take you take off any clothes that you're wearing and get in. It helps you get clean."

I looked over and Kirlia was taking of what seemed like a dress. Turns out that the white gown-like part is actually clothing. My face probably turned bright red. I didn't plan on seeing her like that. Her upper body was white, while her lower body was green. She had small but noticeable breasts, probably A-cups. She had small pink nipples. Looking downward her area seemed to look human-like. Then she got in.

"Ahhhh." She moaned. "This feels good. Well come on, you getting in? You said you'd show me."

"I'm just a little uncomfortable because you're naked right now." I stalled. "And i would feel weird being naked in there with you."

"Oh come on, it doesn't matter." She said.

"Fine." I groaned as I stripped down and got in with her.

"See, was that so bad." She joked.

"Yes." I whined while having my back turned.

"Oh come on turn around." She coaxed.

After I did I grabbed the shampoo and crouched down.

"Hold out your hand." I said as I put some in her hand and then some in my own. "Now rub it into your hair until you work up a lather." I told her while demonstrating. "It will feel smooth."

"Like this?" She asked.

"Yeah." I replied. "Now close your eyes tight and step under the water." I said while guiding her. "Now rub your hair until all of the soap is out."

"Why do I have to keep them shut?" She asked while she worked the soap out of her hair.

"If you don't, it will burn your eyes if it gets in them." I told her.

"Oh okay." She said. "Did I get it all?"

"Yeah." I replied. "Okay step aside so I can get the soap out of my hair."

"Okay." She said.

"Alright." I said.

I grabbed a pouf that I brought in for my own shower and I grabbed the body wash.

"Okay next you take the body wash and put some on this pouf thing and rub it all over your body." I told her while demonstrating this as well.

"Hey, Tony?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I asked back.

"I can't reach my back, can you help?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said as I scrubbed her back. "Okay, next you'll stand under the water again. You can leave your eyes open this time. Just make sure you get it all, otherwise you'll be itchy."

"Okay." Kirlia said as she stepped back under the water.

"Alright now I need to rinse off the soap too." I said as we shifted positions again.

After I rinsed off I turned of the water. and grabbed one of the towels that was sitting there.

"Here, now you can dry yourself off so you're not cold anymore." I said handing her the towel.

"Thank you." She said.

"Your welcome." I replied.

"So you do this every night?" She asked.

"Yep, whenever I can." I answered. "It gets me clean and makes me smell good."

"Do I have to every night?" She asked again.

"Whenever you feel dirty or want to smell really good." I answered.

"Okay." She said cheerfully.

"I always wondered what you did behind these doors." She chuckled.

"Well now you know." I laughed as I finished drying myself off.

After that we got dressed and went to lay down. I gave Kirlia a nice long kiss and we said our good nights.
