Notes: Yes, I know the yaoi came late, and the Yuri will come even later. Actually... screw that, the Yuri comes now.
Misty
The next day was Friday. And it was the day I swore that I'd make Fera mine.
But that's a lot harder than you would think. I can't even tell Ash about my feelings for him. But now, the attachment I felt to Fera was even deeper than that. It hurt to want her. Sabrina had once said in my hearing that when a psychic pairs off, they're linked with the person they pair with for life or until they pair off with somebody else. Not many psychics break up with their boyfriends or girlfriends. Fera had managed to suppress her powers enough so that she didn't hear stray thoughts.
That was a good thing, because I was thinking about her all the way to the river.
"Let's see. Here's a good place." I said, setting my bag down near the trunk of a willow that leaned over the river. "Fish pokemon like shady water, especially weak ones like Magikarp and Feebas." I explained.
That, and the branches would screen me off from her when I made out with her, maybe even do it right then and there. Togepi popped out of the bag, begging to be let go. "Okay, Akela, you, Deeptooth and Dawn keep an eye on Togepi while we fish alright?" She asked.
Akela nodded and the three pokemon trotted off. I sighed, sitting down on the bank and cast in my special Misty Super Lure. No water pokemon has ever been able to resist it. Fera cast in the pole and lure that Gary had lent her. "So, read anything good lately?" I asked.
"I started reading one of the pokemon care books that Professor Oak has, but to be honest, I haven't exactly had the time to read anything. I've been catching a ton of pokemon."
"Yeah, I heard that you had to oil Venusaur butt." I chuckled.
She laughed. "Being a trainer isn't always pretty." She pointed out.
"That's true. But its worth it. Did you bring that Chikorita of yours? It would have been very useful."
"No, I brought Pikachu though." She grinned, patting the pokeball that she had brought with her. "Darkstar and Dragonite too. The rest of my pokemon are scattered all over the ranch."
That was when my bobber went under. "I GOT ONE!" I cried. I started wheeling it in immediately, but the pokemon fought for every inch. Fera grabbed onto the pole. Together we gave one last haul and fell backward on top of each other.
I flushed and quickly stepped back. But I wanted so badly to turn that touch into something more. I wanted to more than anything in the world.
The Goldeen flopped on the ground. "Goldeen, deen, gol, goldeen."
"It's just a goldeen." I sighed as I picked it up. "Back you go." I told the pokemon as I threw it back into the water.
We got a couple more bites, Magikarp and Goldeen mostly. Then it began to rain.
It was light at first, just a patter on the willow leaves that seemed to form a protective cave around us. Then the rain really began to pour. That was good, water pokemon tended to bite more when it was raining. But it would make waiting into one wet and messy affair. Fera turned to me. "Should we take a break?" She asked.
"Tie your pole onto a branch and leave it in the water." I instructed. I picked up a rope and turned to help her. I took every opportunity for even the slightest touch. She flushed as I guided Fera's hands over the steps for a seaman's knot.
She turned around suddenly, and despite the rain that dripped off the leaves and patted on our shoulders. We were still very wet. The t-shirt she wore and the tank I was wearing clung to us, leaving little to either of our imaginations. I remembered the night Fera had kissed me, sooooo long ago. I had rejected her then, even run away. Why had I run away? Because I liked it. It liked the kiss and I was scared and the fact that I had teased Ash when I was at the very least bisexual made me a hypocrite. Who had been the first person I'd seen after the white dragonite incident when Mewtwo had pulled me out of the water and Celebi revived me? Fera. It was as if we were destined to stand on this one spot, together, in the rain, since the days we were born.
We were so close now. So close. I HAD to take this moment. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around her shoulders. The grip was loose, so that she could pull away if she wanted to escape. I leaned in, and ever so delicately, brought my lips to hers.
The result was like a wildfire. I felt power course through my veins, pleasure, strength. Fera leaned into the kiss, slipping her tongue between my lips and exploring my mouth. I wrapped my tongue around hers and slipped inside of her mouth. My hands roamed her body, seeking every nerve and pressure point. Fera moaned into my mouth. "Misty..."
Just as quickly, we had to let go. Panting, I realized that we lay on the ground, Fera beneath me. I straddled her waist. I leaned down to kiss her again, gentler this time, more tender. I slipped my hands under her wet shirt, feeling her soft, wet skin. "More..." Fera moaned.
"Fera... are you sure?" I asked softly.
"Take me Misty, all the way." She pulled me down into another kiss.
Later
I lay there, panting on the wet moss next to her. The rain cooled my hot skin. I had never expected to do that with her... that thing... not yet at least. Fera had her head snuggled into my chest, half asleep.
And I felt her mind in mine, in a bond that can never be broken. I heard her thoughts and felt her feelings and it was the most incredible thing I had ever experienced. She was a little sleepy, and utterly contented. I wrapped my arms around her waist, leaning back against the tree. I leaned over to kiss her eyes, reveling in the feel of out minds being one.
That was when I noticed the branches on which we had tied our fishing poles almost yank off the branch. "Fera! The fishing poles!"
She sat straight up. "Oh shit!" She dashed for hers, straightening her clothes, pulling up her jeans and underwear. Fera yanked on the pole that she'd tied her's too. "Man, it's a big one!" I ran over to the branch where I'd put my pole as well. Man, she was right, whatever this was, it was BIG. The creature on the other end fought back with all it's might until my arms screamed for me to just let go of the pole. I jerked on the rod and caught a flash of red and brown and blue as the fish pokemon leapt free of the water. I yanked with all my might and the pokemon lolled on the moss-covered banks, thrashing back and forth. Fera landed a second pokemon, just like it.
Fera held out her pokedex. "Feebas, an ugly fish pokemon. Feebas' fins are ragged from birth. It is said to be the ugly duckling of water pokemon."
I pulled out an ultra ball. "Ultraball, GO!" I cried, hurling the ball with all my might. Feebas resisted the ball, bouncing out.
"Pikachu! Thunderwave!" Fera cried, throwing the pokeball. "It's too strong Misty."
"CHUUUUUUU!!" Pikachu sent out sparks that missed me by inches. But they did their job. The two pokemon fell limp, eyes curlicued.
"Ultraball go!" We chorused. The balls flew. Feebas barely struggled. Then the ball fell to the ground with a pong noise. I walked over, picking it up and barely believing my luck. Not only did I get Fera to be mine, but I caught the pokemon that we'd come for! "I CAUGHT FEEBAS!" We chorused, bouncing up and down and doing a little victory dance.
ASH
Gary and I were grooming the ponyta that we'd caught on our trip when the girls came back. Pikachu heard them first. "Pika?" It asked, ears perking up.
Then I heard them. "We caught feebas..." clap clap, clap clap clap
"We caught Feebas" clap clap, clap clap clap
"Somebody sounds happy." Gary said with a chuckle. "Feebas is incredibly rare."
"ASH! GARY!" Fera cried as she, Akela and Dawn came running for us. "We caught Feebas! They bit our lines at exactly the same time! It was so cool!"
"My sisters are going to be so jealous when I get mine to evolve into a Milotic!" Misty squealed.
"Didn't it rain?" I asked. "You two are soaked!"
"Yeah, we are, but I've never felt more satisfied." Fera said with a contented sigh. She wrapped her arm around Misty's slim waist.
That was when Mewtwo came out, hands clutching a coffee mug. He looked VERY tired. I just got up. Next time you boys decide to fuck each other senseless think a little quieter please? Remember that you don't just share your minds with each other, you share them with me.
Misty had a nosebleed. Gary laughed at her. "Sorry Mewtwo." I said, flushing. Sharing a mental bond with a human was one thing, I kept forgetting that Mewtwo could read my every thought. He had kept Gary's and my secrets with grace, but it would be better not to annoy him.
Ponyta nudged the hand that held the currycomb. "Sorry." I told it, going back to brushing her neck.
"Sorry Mewtwo." Gary said with a sigh. "I'm done Ash. You girls care to check out the Feebas you just caught?"
The girls looked at each other, their eyes unfocusing for a moment. Uht-oh, did I miss something? Since when did Misty and Fera talk to each other in telepathy. They must have... no way... "So you two finally got together?" I demanded.
They blinked in unison. "Yes we did, it was soooo good." They said in unison. Uht-oh, this could be a problem.
"You realize that you're talking in unison right?" I asked.
"We are?" I brought my hand to my forehead in an exasperated smack.
"You are. Be careful or the Professor might find you out." I warned them.
"Okay."
Pikachu laughed. "Pikakakakakakakakakakakakakakaaaa!" The electric mouse was rolling on the ground in laughter.
We all looked at each other.
And we laughed.
