Hey guys, sorry for a late update, juggaling two stories proved to be a challange, so I figured I would pull my other authors on to the scene with me. So ya, I hope you guys enjoy :3


The Town


Moonlight's POV


We eat our fill and then it is pretty much dark, the Rattata wasn't to bad I guess. I lay down, not to far away from Void and drift off into sleep.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring…

The next morning I wake up to find Void missing

I wonder where he went?

I stand and stretch and look around the camp. No sign of him. No sign of food either. I'm hungry, so I decided to try and find some berries or something. I find a couple and eat them, then without even meaning to, I end up back by the lake. As I peer through the brush, I see Void bathing. I feel myself blush as I watch him through the bushes. And keep watching.

Why am I just watching him? I should let him have his privacy

I do have to admit to myself though, he is quite good looking…

Void's ears perk up and he looks in my direction and I duck deeper into the bush. I hear him get out of the water.

Shit did he see me?

Void: "I know you're there! Come out!"

I feel myself blush really hard as I come out of the bush. Void stands ready to fight just out of the water, still naked. He quickly starts blushing too once he sees me.

Void: "Oh… It's just you Moonlight."

Moonlight: "Sorry" I'm so embarrassed

Void: covers his groin with his tail. "Why were you watching me?"

Moonlight: "I was hungry and was looking for berries and I just happened back around here. Didn't mean to intrude."

Void: "It's fine. Just- Just meet me back at camp we'll talk then."

We're both blushing redder than a rose at this point.

Moonlight: "Okay. S-sorry again Void."

I run off and quickly make my way back to camp. Void returns a few minutes after me. Dressed as usual, clearly still somewhat embarrassed at me catching him bathing.

Void: "Alright… putting aside that back at the lake, let's get breakfast going."

He sets down his bag and starts preparing a great smelling berry based meal. But my mind keeps drifting back to the lake… and a naked Void. He catches my blush and sighs.

Void: "Moonlight, forget about the lake. It was an accident. Let's just move on okay?" he blushes ever so slightly

Moonlight: "Sorry… it's just... Well…" I avert my eyes… I don't know what to say honestly. Both the weirdness of me for some reason liking seeing him naked and… well… I know physically guys and girls are different but he seemed to have something really sticking out of his groin area. I kinda want to ask if it's normal and make sure he's ok but…
Moonlight: "I just wanted to know why yo-"
Void: He growls "I SAID DROP IT!"
I feel myself well up with tears and I scream something un-audible at him, to me at least, and I dash off. He starts to shout something like "NO WAIT!" or "COME BACK!" But I was too upset to care. I dashed off away from him and away from everything else, I just wanted to know, but he just has to go and shout at me.

Well fine, you want to shout at me, then you don't need me!
I stop running and just curl up next to a tree crying.

I miss my mother, my father, my friends at school… I am all alone and I have no idea what to do, where to go, or who to trust, I wish that I wasn't stuck in this dumb world!

I guess my crying was loud or something, cause a eevee came up to me with some other friends, one was a Dratini, the other a Bidoof.

Eevee: "Are you alright miss?"

I look up at her. Tears still in my eyes.

Moonlight: "Y-yeah. I'm fine."

Bidoof: "She doesn't sound fine"

Dratini: Gives Bidoof the death stare

Eevee: "We were just heading back to town. We could lead you there if you'd like"

Back to town? That… that sounds like it actually would be the perfect place to go.

Moonlight: "Sure… I- I'll come with you." I stand

Eevee: "What's your name?"

Moonlight: "Moonlight… yours?"

Eevee: "Samantha. My friends are Sue and Bill" Points to the Dratini then the Bidoof

She helps me up and we start off

Bill: "So what happened"

Sue: Gives Bill another death stare while whacking him with her tail
Bill: "Ow! Hey!"

Samantha: "Sue, we just want to make sure she's okay"

Sue: "Well I'd think Moonlight might want some privacy"

Moonlight: "T-Thanks… But… it's fine. A friend was just being a huge jerk and… well… I just finally ditched that"

Sue: "Good for you to ditch the people dragging you down"

Moonlight: Sighs "I don't know… He seemed like such a nice guy, but after what he did… I don't know any more..."

Samantha: concerned "What did he do?"

Moonlight: "I d-don't want to t-talk about it…" I feel myself blush

Sue: Has a very unhappy look.

Samantha: "It'll be okay Moonlight."

They have such a serious tone… are… are they thinking about something else? Void may have been a jerk but I don't want to ruin his life or reputation or whatever… but… but I have no idea what to say or do. I just keep quiet.

We walk for a decent amount of time before we come upon a collection of buildings.

Bill: "Here we are! Our little town of Ulysses!"

I look around and for a small town, there does seem like there is a lot to do, I see mons trading goods, working in a field, it reminds me of home a little. I feel tears starting to stream down my face.

Samantha: "Is something wrong Moonlight?"

Moonlight: Sniff "N-No, it's just been so long since I have seen some where I can consider close to home…" I start to wipe the tears off my face

Samantha and Sue look at each other with an apprehensive look, and Samantha pats me comfortingly.

Samantha: "It'll be okay Moonlight. Everything's going to be okay now."

Moonlight: "I hope so"

They start to show me around the town. It's a nice place, I start to cheer up. The town is centered around a group of more flimsy looking, open sided structures in the center that is full of traders and shops. The houses around it are wooden structures, with only one poking into the range of a second floor. It takes maybe ten minutes for them to show me everything of note in the town, including, because Bill thought it was someplace I should know about or something, the spot out in one of the fields where all the towns outhouses are emptied too.

Moonlight: "That must be a shitty job."

Bill and Samantha laugh.

Sue: "Well you're not wrong"

I smile, It's nice to have friends. Especially ones who aren't jerks.

Samantha: "We need to figure out where you're gonna stay Moonlight"

Moonlight: "What?"

Sue: "Well we're not just going to have you sleep on the street"

Moonlight: "Oh"

Smantha: "I doubt my parents will have a problem with it, but I'll go and ask them." She starts to walk off.

Moonlight: "Thank you, all of you. It's nice to have people who care again"

Sue: "Don't worry Moonlight. We'll take care of you" She pats me gently with her tail.

Bill: "Dad probably is going to want me to get home soon, so I'll see you all tomorrow"

Sue: "Later Bill"

Bill runs off, and I'm alone on the edge of town with Sue the Dratini

Sue: "Do… do you want to talk about what happened at all? Before we found you?"

Moonlight: "I… No… not really." I feel myself blush slightly

Sue: "It's ok Moonlight. We're here for you. If you ever want to talk about it, just find me."

Moonlight: "I will keep that in mind"

Man, they all seemed very concerned, maybe I should tell her, besides it would be nice to get this off my chest

Before she starts to walk off I stop her

Moonlight: "Hey wait!"
Sue: "Yes?" She turns around
Moonlight: "I'm going to tell you… But, don't laugh.." I feel myself blush again and I start to get nervous
Come on, you can do this!

Sue: "I won't laugh. It's no laughing matter I'm sure."

Moonlight: "O-Okay… So his name is Void"

Sue: "Okay"

Moonlight: "A-And, I woke up one day at our c-campsite… A-And well.."

I feel myself start to break down a bit
NO! I CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT

Moonlight: "A-And…"

Sue: "It's okay Moonlight…" pats me comfortingly with her tail "I may have never had that sort of experience thing before, but I can assure you that all of us here are loving and caring, you have nothing to fear, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to"

Moonlight: "N-No, I got this.. S-So I want over t-to the lake in the process of t-trying to find food t-to eat and well, I-I might have caught him b-bathing himself, in t-the lake.. A-And, well I don't know what came o-over me, but I watched him f-for a bit, I-I then tried to b-back out but I slipped on something and h-he heard it. T-thinking I was a bad guy, he r-rushed out of the water and t-toward the bush and t-then he saw me and h-he got all red. T-Then his thing, stood u-up… S-So back at the c-campsite I-I tried a-asking him t-to make sure he was ok, c-cause I have never seen that h-happen to a guy. W-Well he yelled at me and I t-think I yelled something hurtful back and I r-ran off crying, I f-feel like such an idiot, c-cause I ruined s-something perfect..." I start to cry again

Sue is quiet for a moment

Sue: "It's okay Moonlight. It's okay…"

I calm down after a bit and look at her

Moonlight: "S-So ya that's the story… S-So.. W-What do you think?" I feel my blush get a bit worse

Sue: "Well… if you ever find the guy again, you might be able to patch it up. It's not the end of the world."

Moonlight: "Y-you think so?"

Sue nods.

Moonlight: "Th-thanks Sue." I wipe my eyes "P-please don't tell the others"

Sue nods understandingly

Samantha runs up to us: "Good news girls! My parents are okay with Moonlight staying with us!"

Sue: "Good to hear!"

Moonlight: I perk up and my blush fades "That's great, thanks Samantha!" ^w^

Samantha: "This way" She starts back into town. Sue and I both follow her to her house. It's hardly far.

Samantha: "We'll have to share a room, but hopefully that won't be a problem."

Moonlight: "That's fine"

We arrived at the house and Samantha introduces me to her parents. They show me where I'll be staying, Sue and Samantha exchange a few words I don't overhear, but Samantha looks relieved by it.

The rest of the day is uneventful, but nice. Samantha helps me get settled in and her parents have dinner soon after. It's a nice Oran and Sitrus berry porridge. Then the two of us head back to our shared room.

Moonlight: "I just realized, what's our sleeping arrangement?"

Samantha: "What do you mean?"

Moonlight: "You only have one bed"

Samantha: "Oh… well…" she pauses, she must have not thought this far ahead "You're my guest so you can have it"

Moonlight: "It's your bed though… I feel bad taking it from you"

Samantha: "It's fine"

Moonlight: "Well… I guess we could probably both fit on the bed"

Samantha: "If you're alright with it"

Moonlight: "I am"

Samantha: "Well that solves that problem then" She gives me a wide smile. I return it.

Samantha: "Wait, you don't have anything to sleep in do you? Just that fur you're wearing now"

Moonlight: "Oh shit your right…"

Samantha: "I guess you could borrow mine… might be a bit tight on you though"

Moonlight: "Yeah…"

Samantha opens her dresser and hands me a set of Fur for me to wear, and one for herself. I take the clothing.

Samantha: "I'll let you change first" She steps out of the room.

I pull off my dirty clothes and set them on the floor, and pull on hers. I look a bit ridiculous wearing normal brown eevee Fur against my shiny actual fur. I step out of the room so Samantha can change she soon waves me in and the two of us curl up on the bed.

As I drifted off, I thought I saw Samantha blushing ever so slightly…


Meep: Hey look I'm working here now too.

PlaceofNoStars: Well apparently we have proven, that not including my other authors is kinda mean, plus I feel kind of lonely making these on my own. And it never hurt to have help, remember two heads are better than one

Meep: If nothing else I can catch inconsistencies and missed details. Are we even sure the readers are familiar with the Fur clothing concept? Either way I feel I should give a TL;DR on it here.

Meep: Fur clothing is a concept used occasionally in fan stories in the Pokemon world to add a level of human civilness to the world, by actually having the characters not nude all the time, while allowing them to still appear the same. Fur clothing is meant to mimic the physical appearance of the pokemon. This style of clothing is standard in Pillar of light, but in Tale of the Two propper, pokemon wear more human-style clothing, because [redacted].

Cookie(Yuki): Ok. Also technically I'm the proofreader lel.
