AN: Okay ch.2 is finally up so enjoy and tell me what you think.

Also I want to give a huge shout out to Darkrai's Prodigy for letting me use his O.C in my story plus in all honesty if I hadn't read any of his soon to be coming fic's I probably would've never even written this one.

Chapter 2

Zorua yawned softly as she woke up from a well-deserved rest after being healed along with Riolu by Nurse Joy, after their victory Marcus had let them sleep in the bed with him since neither wanted to be in there Pokeball. Rubbing her eyes with her claws she noticed an arm around her waist as she tried to sit up. The sound of light snoring let her know that it must belong to her trainer, she giggled to herself as she settled back down into the blankets although she wasn't tired anymore she enjoyed the closeness lying next to her trainer brought her and his scent alone was more than enough to get her to stay in bed. As she wiggled backwards to cuddle her back against his chest, she jumped as something hard poked her butt. Her trainer groaned softly as she tried wiggling back again only to get poked once more. A sudden realization came over the illusion Pokémon as she realized her trainer was suffering from a rather stiff case of morning wood. Something she had heard male trainers often suffer from, or so she had been told by other Pokémon that professor Birch had been looking after. One female Mightyena had told her how painful morning wood was for her trainer and that she would help him out by licking and sucking it until he released yummy liquid.

Zorua gently moved the blankets revealing the bulge in her trainer's pajama pants. Curious she poked at it with a claw surprised when it twitched in response and made her trainer groan. Making up her mind Zorua fumbled with the button holding back Marcus morning issues. She growled softly in frustration as the button kept slipping from in between her claws.

"Stay still" Zorua yipped.

"What are you doing" Riolu barked loudly peaking over Marcus side to see Zorua trying to unbutton his pajamas.

"Mind your own business" Zorua yipped back finally managing to undo the button.

"Stop you can't do that" Riolu barked jumping over and tackling Zorua as she was about to reach inside of Marcus pants.

"Ugh what's going on you girls up already" Marcus said rubbing his eyes as he saw his two Pokémon in a pile on the floor. "As energetic as always I see" Marcus grinned as he went to get out of bed only for his morning erection to pop out of his unbuttoned pajama pants. Zorua and Riolu blushed brightly as Marcus quickly tried to hide his hard on by running to the bathroom a few seconds later the girls heard the shower running, leaving the two of them to converse about what they just saw.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot" Zorua grinned.

"Is it supposed to be that big" Riolu asked still blushing.

"Not at his age at least…from what I've been told it usually takes a few more years to get that big" Zorua answered.

"Does that mean it will get even bigger" Riolu asked with a hint of fear.

"I sure hope so, think about good mating would feel" Zorua smirked.

"Could you even do anything with it" Riolu questioned.

Zorua frowned as she knew any sort of mating with her master wouldn't be possible until she evolved. The same went to Riolu they were just too small in their current forms. "We might not be able to mate but there are still plenty of other things we can do" Zorua licked her lips.

A few minutes later Marcus emerged from the shower looking somewhat relieved he was fully dressed and ready to hit the road, he knew it would take them a while to get to Rustboro and was hoping to at least make it to the edge of the Petalburg woods if not further.

"You girls ready to go I'll make us some breakfast after we started down route 102" Marcus said trying not to blush at what had happened earlier. Both Anthros nodded ready to continue with their journey. "Alright I want both of you in your Pokeballs since we'll most likely encounter a few wild Pokémon I want you girls to save your strength for battling." Marcus said seriously. Riolu nodded understanding the logic behind her trainer's decision but Zorua just pouted crossing her arms. "Come on Zorua you're going to need more battle experience if you ever want to evolve and you're not going to be able to battle properly if you're tired from walking around all day" Marcus smiled.

"Zorua Zor" Zorua yipped saying that she would be fine walking and battling.

"Rio Lu Riolu Lu" Riolu barked telling Zorua to listen to Marcus and stop being difficult. Eventually Zorua caved and returned to her Pokeball along with Riolu, Marcus finished packing his ruck sack before saying goodbye to Nurse Joy who thanked him once again for protecting the Pokémon center and started heading west towards route 102.

It was still somewhat dark outside as Marcus began walking away from Oldale Town, having chosen to get an early start he'd only gotten a few more hours of sleep after that whole team rocket incident. He yawned and shivered slightly as the sun barely started peaking over the horizon, as he walked he started to come up with strategies for Roxanne the gym leader he would be facing once he arrived at Rustboro. One of the upsides to having been delayed for two years was the extensive amount of studying he was able to do including researching all the gym leaders from the type of Pokémon they used to their favorite battle strategies, Of course having a Gym leader as a best friend who was able to give you advice and inside information not usually available to the public was great. Because his studying he knew that Roxanne was a Rock-type Pokémon trainer which meant that Zorua wouldn't be at a type disadvantage or advantage while Riolu would have a type advantage which meant he would be relying on her the most in any battles before they challenged the gym in order to get her as much experience as possible. Of course that didn't mean he was going to neglect

Marcus knew he had the option to try to capture either a water or grass type which would give him an additional edge but having three Pokémon before winning his first badge would stretch him to his limits as a trainer, especially considering his first two were Anthros. Therefore he thought it was best to challenge Roxanne with his current team.

A few hours had passed and according to his Pokenav he was about halfway through route 102 and besides stopping to make breakfast he'd be walking nonstop except for the few times he'd encountered a wild Pokémon which had given him a chance to let Riolu and Zorua battle. Marcus was starting to get tired from being on his feet for so long and decided that a small break was well deserved. As he looked around for a decent spot to rest he noticed some shaking in a patch of small grass thinking it could be a wild Pokémon he placed his hand on Riolu's Pokeball. Only to be surprised when a flat gray cap on top of popped out of the grass making Marcus jump back a few feet as he realized it was a person.

"Damn it I almost had it" a trainer said standing up shaking his head he turned around and his green left eye and blue right eye met Marcus's crimson eyes issuing a silent challenge. "You're a trainer aren't you" the boy asked.

"Yeah the names Marcus Kale and you are" Marcus said keeping his hand on Zorua's Pokeball.

"Kairas Sinclair…so how about a battle" Kairas smirked holding up a Pokeball.

"Let's do it" Marcus grinned backing away he sat down his ruck sack against a tree as he turned to face Kairas he prepared himself for anything. "Go Riolu" Marcus yelled throwing her Pokeball.

"Rio" Riolu growled taking her fighting stance.

"Oh wow you have an anthro too…in that case go Charmander" Kairas yelled. Marcus was shocked when the light faded to reveal a small orange anthro female Charmander. "Charmander use smokescreen" Kairas commanded immediately the battlefield was filled smoke. Riolu backed away nervously unable to see where her opponent would be attacking from.

"Riolu stay calm and keep your guard up try to sense where the attacks coming from by sensing their aura" Marcus yelled. Riolu barked and nodded closing her eyes she focused all her senses. Suddenly she dove to her left as a flamethrower impacted where she was a second earlier. "Good job Riolu, now use quick attack" Marcus commanded as the smokescreen cleared.

"Stand your ground and use fire fang" Kairas ordered.

Riolu rushed forwards shoulder tackling Charmander who dug her claws into the ground resisting the attack she bit down onto Riolu's shoulder with her fire fang attack making Riolu whimper in pain before jumping away. "Riolu are you okay" Marcus asked seeing the singed fur on her shoulder.

"Rio" Riolu nodded but flinched as her shoulder ached and Marcus realized she must've been burned by Charmander's attack. "Damnit we're going to have to end this quickly" he cursed lowly. "Riolu use quick attack again"

"Charmander use flamethrower now" Kairas yelled. Taking a deep breath Charmander blew out a torrent of flame.

"Riolu jump over it and use quick attack" Marcus yelled. Growling Riolu jumped as high as she could clearing most of the flamethrower, she slammed into Charmander once again.

"Get Riolu back with Fire fang" Kairas screamed.

"Riolu use force palm to knock Charmander away before she can attack" Marcus ordered quickly. The two anthros growled readying their attacks with Riolu's force palm slamming into Charmander's stomach a second before she was hit with another Fire fang attack. Riolu's attack sent Charmander tumbling back with spirals in her eyes.

"Great job girl" Marcus cheered, as Kairas recalled his Charmander.

"Riolu Lu" Riolu panted before dropping to one knee, that's when Marcus noticed the burn marks on her left leg.

"Riolu return" Marcus recalled her not wanting her to suffer any more injuries.

"You're pretty good" Kairas smirked pulling out another Pokeball.

"You too we barely won that match if your Charmander had landed that last fire fang my Riolu would have fainted" Marcus smirked back.

"You just got lucky…Go Snivy" Kairas threw out the ball he'd been holding revealing a battle ready Snivy.

"We'll see about that…Zorua your up" Marcus yelled.

"Another anthro geez you're not going to make this easy are you" Kairas grinned as the light faded and Zorua appeared.

"Nope Zorua Double-team" Marcus ordered. Immediately Snivy was surrounded by a dozen Zorua copies.

"Good try Snivy use vine whip in a wide arc" Kairas commanded. Snivy nodded two vines shot from its body rapidly slicing through the fake Zorua until it made contact with the real one sending her tumbling back.

"Damn it I didn't think Snivy could attack that fast" Marcus cursed.

"Zorua Zor" Zorua said rolling her eyes and Marcus could practically hear her saying 'No Shit' in her head.

"Zorua Double team this time use feint attack as soon as you have Snivy surrounded" Marcus said thinking of a new strategy.

"Snivy use your speed to dodge the attacks" Kairas said calmly as Snivy easily dodged the attacks.

"Zorua keep attacking Snivy has to slow down when it gets tired" Marcus grit his teeth hopping that Zorua would have more stamina than Snivy. Both trainers watched intently as their Pokémon kept at it with Snivy dodging all of Zorua's attacks while Zorua kept up the pressure until finally she landed a hit.

"Enough Snivy use leaf tornado to blast away all the fakes" Kairas ordered.

"Sniv" Snivy nodded letting lose a leaf tornado the spiraled out in a large circle destroying the fake Zorua's and sending the original high into the air.

"Zorua stay calm and use feint attack" Marcus ordered hopping the added speed from her falling would do enough damage to make Snivy faint.

"Snivy counter it with slam" Kairas yelled. As the two Pokémon collided dealing damage to each other the trainers stood tense as both Pokémon were getting close to their limit. "Snivy quick use wrap" Kairas yelled.

"Zorua quick jump away" Marcus screamed but Zorua wasn't fast enough and was quickly wrapped up by Snivy forcing Marcus to watch her struggle until her eyes became spirals. "Zorua return" Marcus sighed looking over to Kairas who also recalled his Snivy.

"That was a good battle how about we call this one a draw" Kairas suggested. "Technically I do have a third Pokémon but….let's just say she's a really big handful" Kairas sighed looking fondly at his third Pokeball.

"I'll take a draw I really don't want either of my Pokémon taking any more damage…this match was a good test run now I know I need to train harder if I'm going to beat Roxanne" Marcus said already thinking of a new training schedule.

"Roxanne huh in that case you're heading to Rustboro city right" Kairas asked.

"Yup what about you, you seem like you've been a trainer for more than a day" Marcus asked. Judging from Kairas clothing he was used to being on the road a black and orange short sleeve high collar jacket that was suited to most climates along with similar black and gray baggy shorts over more fitting pants and black combat boots. Like Marcus he had fingerless trainer gloves expect his were orange and black.

"Well to be honest I had planned on starting with the Sinnoh league but things got kind of…complicated" Kairas admitted.

"What happened" Marcus asked curiously.

"Nothing I regret" Kairas smirked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"I see so what were you doing in that tall grass earlier" Marcus asked deciding to change the subject.

"I was trying to capture a Ralts but it got away before I could capture it" Kairas frowned.

"Wait Ralts you mean like those two over there" Marcus said pointing to a duo of green and white Pokémon. Kairas snapped his head around to see two Ralts who had become interested in their battle standing at the edge of the tall grass a few feet away.

"Son of a bitch…are you thinking what I'm thinking" Kairas asked pulling out an empty Pokeball.

"I'm pretty sure I am" Marcus smirked pulling out an empty Pokeball as well. Under normal circumstances he wouldn't be going after another Pokémon but Ralts psychic and fairy typing made it a Pokémon he couldn't pass up especially with the gym he would be facing after he beat Roxanne. Not to mention when fully evolved it would become Gardevoir which he had always wanted.

"3….2…..1…Go!" Kairas yelled both trainers spun around throwing their Pokeballs before the two Ralts could get away they were absorbed into the balls. They held their breath as the Pokeballs shook a few times before remaining still leaving the two teens grinning at each other while they picked up there new Pokémon.

"I'd say this was a pretty productive day" Marcus grinned.

"I won't argue with you there" Kairas agreed.

"Well I don't know what your plans are but I was going to head to Petalburg from here I need to heal Riolu and Zorua and Introduce them to their new teammate" Marcus said picking up his ruck sack.

"Well I was headed that way anyway plus I have some business to take care of in Rustboro so do you mind if I join you" Kairas asked.

"Of course not as long you don't mind helping me train for my gym battle along the way" Marcus answered.

"Deal…now let's get going we can't train until we make it to the Pokémon center in Petalburg which is about two hours away" Kairas said picking up a decent sized backpack.

"Well we better get moving than" Marcus smirked.

The two teens made their way down the trail making conversation about their recent battle and swapping stories about their home towns. The two of the realized they had a lot in common while Kairas was a bit more cynical that only feed Marcus sarcastic personality and the two quickly made their way to Petalburg enjoying each other's company.

"Hello how may I help you two" Nurse Joy asked as the two of them walked in.

"Could you heal our Pokémon" Kairas asked,

"Pretty sure that's why it's called a Pokémon center" Marcus smirked making the odd eyed teen shoot him a death glare.

"Haha of course I'll take your Pokémon" Nurse Joy giggled. Marcus and Kairas gave her the two Pokémon they had battled with before deciding to head over to the Poke Mart to grab a few things. After shopping for about 45 minutes the two returned to the center walking through the door right as their Pokémon were fully restored.

"Here you two are as good as new" Nurse Joy smiled handing them back their Pokémon.

"So do you want to hit the Road again or do you think we have enough time to train" Marcus asked the more experienced trainer.

"We should probably hit the road once we get past Routed 104 we'll run into the Petalburg Woods there are probably going to be a few trainers there trying to catch Pokémon so I'm sure we'll be able to get some training in once we get there" Kairas suggested.

"Sounds good to me do you mind if I let out my Pokémon so they can stretch their legs for a bit" Marcus asked.

"No problem I'm sure mine need to stretch out as well" Kairas replied.

"Alright then come on out" Marcus yelled throwing his three Pokeballs in the air bursting open releasing his Pokémon. Each crying out their name as they appeared. Zorua and Riolu were surprised when they hear Ralts give its cry and turned to stare at the new addition to their team. Zorua crossed her arms as this was the last thing she needed another female in the team equaled more competition for her masters affection. She had already felt like she was falling behind since Riolu was getting the majority of the training time although she knew it was because of her type advantage over the gym they were supposed to be facing that still didn't help. She just thanked Arceus that Riolu was so shy otherwise she might be worried about the canine-like Pokémon trying to make a move on their Master. She hoped Ralts would be similar…unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case as Ralts happily jumped on Marcus cuddling her head into his chest.

"That little bitch" Zorua turned in shock that it had been the usually shy Riolu that had barked such foul language. Apparently her training and most recent Win in an actual battle had given the pup a great deal of confidence over the course of the day.

"What's wrong girls meet the newest member of our team" Marcus smiled. The two anthros just turned away from him crossing their arms and turning their muzzles in the air.

"Having some trouble I see" Kairas laughed. "Come on out everyone" He yelled throwing four Pokeballs in the air. Marcus turned to watch he already knew about Charmander, Snivy, and Ralts and had been curious about Kairas last Pokémon since he seemed hesitant about using it in their battle. Marcus assumed it was either because the Pokémon wasn't that well trained or didn't like to listen but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw when the light faded.

"Dar" A soft voice yawned. Long White hair covered on side of her face hiding one eye while the other sapphire orb gazed at Kairas around her neck hanging like a lose collar was a necklace of jagged ruby colored crystal her skin as black as midnight with all the curves a voluptuous was expected to have.

"How in the hell do you have a Darkrai" Marcus yelled after he was able to get his mouth to work again.

"I told things got complicated in Sinnoh" Kairas laughed as Darkrai floated over to him.

"Obviously" Marcus threw his hands in the air before realizing that if Kairas had used Darkrai in their battle he would've won easily if she was anywhere near as powerful as the rumor suggested. Marcus watched as Darkrai hovered behind Kairas whispering something in his ear that made him nod and reply quietly.

"You two love birds done with your private conversation" Marcus joked.

"I'd say you already have enough problems without worrying about what we're talking about" Darkrai responded making Marcus jaw drop.

"Haha you should see the look on your face" Kairas laughed.

"Seriously man just who the hell are you not even Elite Four members or champions could easily catch or tame a legendary how can you already have one?" Marcus asked cursing the universes unfairness.

"Well firstly I didn't catch or tame her Darkrai chose to be with me…it's a long story that I don't want to talk about right now but long story short she was actually my first Pokémon even before I became a trainer so we had wait until I got my Pokedex and starter to actually get her a Pokeball" Kairas explained.

"I see no offense to you Kairas but, why would Darkrai chose you instead of a more experienced trainer" Marcus asked.

"Kairas is the only human I've ever met that isn't affected by my nightmares" Darkrai answered.

"Looks like you two were made for each other…but I have to admit I never thought I'd meet someone else with a weird ability" Marcus said crossing his arms.

"What do you mean" Kairas asked.

"Well just like your immune to nightmares, I give off a pheromone that makes me almost irresistible to female Pokémon" Marcus confessed.

"I see you do have a unique scent but I wouldn't define it as irresistible…pleasant would be a better description then again legendry's would be immune to most things that other Pokémon would be susceptible to the same could be said for well-trained Pokémon" Darkrai informed.

"I guess that makes sense after all it would be rather awkward if I had other trainers Pokémon trying to jump me…I have enough trouble already" Marcus sighed getting yips of indignation from his Pokémon.

"Maybe so but we should get going if we want to make it to Rustboro before night fall" Kairas asked recalling all his Pokémon.

"Yeah that's true…back in you go girls" Marcus said recalling his.

For the rest of the day the two teens made a hasty pace down route 104 making it to the Petalburg Woods where they battled a dozen trainers even having a few double battles each time their Pokémon performed better and better although they did have one or two close calls they managed to win every battle. The two teens and their Pokémon were so tired by the time the Sun set that they both agreed to camp out on the edge of the forest and finish the short walk into the city the next day. Marcus couldn't wait his Pokémon had gotten a lot stronger and he was ready to crush Roxanne in tomorrow's gym battle. Riolu had done outstanding only losing three times while Zorua made up for her loss by only losing twice and Ralts was very impressive no one would've guessed he had only caught her earlier that day as she was able to battle without fainting once thanks to her knowing the move Rest she was able to recover while Kairas Pokémon covered her. Marcus grinned as soft yips and breathing filled his tent as his three girls cuddled up next to him under the blankets he was more than happy about the way things were going…Now if he could only get a legendary like Kairas he'd be set.

The next day Marcus yawned as the morning sun warmed the air after stretching he decided to go wake up Kairas as the other teen had slept a good distance away because Darkrai hated sleeping inside her Pokeball and he didn't want Marcus to suffer from her nightmares. Always having been and early bird Marcus was surprised to see Kairas already awake nearly packed up and ready to go, a rather happy looking Darkrai floating by his side her legs kicked back in the air as she giggled about something her partner was saying.

Marcus decided to leave them alone and not ruin the atmosphere another thing that had surprised him was how different Darkrai was from what the rumors had said. Most painted the Pokémon as some sort of evil creature but Marcus couldn't see how they could be more wrong after having dinner with Kairas and all of their Pokémon he found that Darkrai was very similar to her trainer in ways they both were a little odd but who wasn't and Marcus found out that Darkrai power over nightmares wasn't something she had complete control over. Because of how strong her power was she caused nightmares whether she wanted to or not which was why she had secluded herself until she met Kairas. Marcus actually felt bad for her having to be alone for such a long time and was happy that she had found someone caring like Kairas that she could be with. Marcus also vowed to never judge a Pokémon by rumors ever again.

"You ready to hit the road" Kairas asked after everything had been packed up.

"Sure thing" Marcus nodded.

The two teens made quick work of the short walk to Rustboro and soon arrived at the entrance to the city.

"Looks like this is where we part ways" Marcus sighed.

"Looks like it but don't worry I'm sure we'll meet again soon after all we caught the same Pokémon together after tying in a battle that's got to be fate or something" Kairas laughed.

"Haha I'm sure…here's my Pokenav number feel free to call if you're ever in need" Marcus said.

"Sure thing" Kairas replied after the two registered each other and said one last goodbye Marcus turned his sights to the Rustboro gym and his next challenge on his road to being Grand champion.
