A/N: Alright, finished Chapter 8, time to upload. *checks traffic stats* Holy crap... 1200 total views! Wow, that's awesome! Thank you guys so much for reading this story and helping me reach this milestone. It means an awful lot to me knowing that people are enjoying this story. Although I kind of wish somebody out there would give me a review as well. *wink wink*

Wendy: Are you winking at me? Because if you are I'm quite flattered. You're pretty cute yourself you know.

DrPhill26: What? No I'm trying to break the 4th wall with my readers. Nobody's reviewed my story yet and it feels weird to me that it's been up for almost a month and still hasn't gotten a single review yet. I mean I have no idea if I'm doing a good job or not, or if there's anywhere that I could improve in.

Tyler: Sounds to me like you're making a big deal out of nothing. You just said it has almost 1200 views, and look at this list of people following your story. If people are following your story you must be doing something right.

DrPhill26: Yeah I suppose you're right Tyler... Wait a sec, what the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be sleeping remember?

Tyler: Oh yeah... Zzz. Zzz...

Wendy: I really hope he doesn't start snoring again.

DrPhill26: Don't worry, he'll wake up soon. Oh and before I forget there's another Lemon/Lime warning for this chapter. Even though nothing major lemony happens again (I promise there will be major lemons real soon though ;) the majority of this chapter talks about lemony subjects, hence the warning. So yeah, thanks for sticking with me this long and enjoy the next chapter.

The alarm on Tyler's phone had gone off, waking him up and forcing him to get out of bed to turn it off. The phone said it was 11:35. He couldn't believe he had slept in this late, or the fact that he set an alarm specifically for this time. Suppressing a loud yawn, he stretched a bit before sluggishly making his way to the bathroom, looking forward to a hot shower to help him wake up. Tyler sat down on a raised seat in the shower turning on the faucet and letting the soft cascade of water droplets wash over him. For whatever reason he was particularly stiff today, so he sat there a moment, massaging his limbs before actually reaching for some bodywash. Its airy scent helped waken the rest of his senses as he started scrubbing his body clean.

Like always, his hair was uncooperatively flying off in spikes as he stepped out of the shower and dried himself off. He put on a pair of baggy black sweatpants and a gray hooded sweatshirt with the letters P.C.P.D. on it, colored white and outlined in black that he'd gotten from his dad. In smaller text beneath the letters of these police sweats was the city motto "The Jewel of the Desert" outlined in a similar pattern. A golden crest modeled to look like the P.C.P.D. badge on his left shoulder was the only other focal point. The shield shaped crest was adorned with watery outlines of palm trees surrounding a stenciled outline of the Pre Gym and the old stadium behind it, along with the cliché line of "serve and protect" written below it. It wasn't overly gaudy and Tyler was always a fan of the simplistic design.

Having finished dressing, Tyler flipped open his laptop looking for something to do online. None of his friends were online at the moment which disappointed him, and he saw none of the websites he frequented had new content for him to look at. So he decided instead to just listen to some music and enjoy a slow, melodic waking up. He grabbed a pair of headphones from his backpack and randomized every song on his hard drive skipping through a good chunk of it before stopping when he heard the wind through his headphones. The wind gave way to an eerie sounding guitar cord and a low baseline that Tyler recognized as one of his favorite songs.

"Yeah baby that's what I'm talking about, Haunt-er dreams by HM number 9. Love these guys so much." Tyler whispered to himself as the music began spreading through his body as he rocked back and forth in his seat. He knew the song all too well being one of his favorites and brought up an imaginary microphone to his face before he started singing along to the lyrics.

Shadowy specters are floatin' by in the night. Scaring all they see, with a Gastly sight. A Dark Pulse of fear runs down your spine, from sights so black, that you're trapped, in the prison of your mind. You can turn on the lights try to wipe out the pain, but it's too late because I'm already locked inside of your brain… I'm gonna Haunt-er Dreams! I'm gonna make you scream! Fall for my evil scheme! 'Coz darkness lives inside my gleam, I'm gonna Haunt-er dreams!

The song had reached a softer spot just before the second verse began when Tyler thought he heard a knock at his door. He turned down the music even more so he could listen more closely for a knock. The song continued along in the back of his mind when he heard it again. Looking at the clock on the corner of the laptop's display he saw the clock read 12:03.

"Tyler? Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from behind the closed door. "It's Wendy. Are you ready to talk?"

"Talk about what?" Tyler thought to himself turning back to his computer screen to log himself out. The clock caught his attention once again. "12:03AM… AM? What the hell, its midnight? I thought it was the afternoon." Tyler looked out the two circular windows above the bed in his cabin and sure enough, it was still dark outside. The moonlight creeping in before the dancing stars on top of the night sky made it pretty obvious. "How the hell did I not notice that earlier…Wait, what is Wendy doing here this late at night?" Tyler asked himself as his thoughts continued.

"Well, like I promised earlier. I'll come over later tonight, let's say midnight, and tell you everything you want to know about what happened today." Wendy's words replayed in his head again as the rest of the day's earlier events came back to Tyler in a flash.

"Oh shit."

"Is anyone home?" Wendy's voice came through the door again.

"Uh yeah, just a second." Tyler stammered as he put his laptop away into his backpack. He set it down by his bedside before going back to open the door. His hand trembled slightly as he grasped the door knob and with a turn he opened it revealing Wendy and her Lucario. She had on the same purple/black striped shirt and jeans combo that she'd worn when they first met at the Krabby Club. Tyler's opening of the door must have startled Wendy because when she saw the door open with him on the other side, she jumped back a moment.

"Hey." Wendy said with a shy expression on her face.

"Hey." Tyler mirrored both her expression and tone as they stood in the doorway.

"I uh… I brought Pulse with me. I hope you're okay with that." She said gesturing to her Lucario who stood stoically behind her.

"Y-yeah, that's fine. Come on in." Tyler said standing aside allowing the two to enter.

"Thanks." Wendy quietly walked into the room with her Pokémon in tow. She took a seat on the purple couch in the living room while Pulse took his own spot besides his trainer, propped up against the wall. Tyler too took a seat on the couch putting some space between him and Wendy. "Where are your Pokémon?" she asked as he sat down.

"They're resting in their balls." Tyler said pointing back towards the curtained off bedroom.

"That's good." Wendy softly whispered, and there the two of them were quickly joined by the most awkward of silences. Even though Wendy had been the one who suggested waiting until now to have this conversation, she seemed to be severely intimidated now that the moment had actually arrived. It certainly wasn't helping the situation any that Tyler had passed out the second he'd arrived at his room after their battle giving him zero time to prepare for their talk. He didn't know where to begin at all. It was difficult enough knowing that he was about to have a conversation with a woman he'd met almost two weeks ago about sex, let alone having sex with her Pokémon. It wasn't that Tyler didn't know anything about sex; he was a teenage boy who had internet access after all. But this was such a foreign concept that it completely muted Tyler's ability to speak. Silence continued on, only broken by the ticking of a clock on the wall and their collective breathing for minutes as both parties involved tried to compose their thoughts.

"Uh…" Wendy started, breaking the silence that had held the room hostage. "Since we're not really getting anywhere right now, I wanted to start again with an apology. I know I sort of already said that earlier but I still think it's a good place to start." She paused again taking a deep, composing breath. "So… I'm sorry that you saw what happened today Tyler. I know how much of a shock it is to walk in on someone having sex, let alone a Poképhile like myself in the middle of the act…"

"Poké what?" Tyler interrupted. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your own apology, but what was that word you used?" Wendy took another breath. At least he was talking now, that would make it a bit easier for her.

"Poképhile… Basically speaking a Poképhile such as myself likes to engage in sexual acts with his or her Pokémon, which is called Poképhelia."

"It… it has a name?" This and blinking off into space was the only reaction Tyler could muster. The fact that it had a name was already enough to shut him up once again. It implied so many other things. First it meant there were people besides Wendy who practiced doing this. Second, today wasn't just an isolated incident born of curiosity or boredom. Not to mention it also raised other questions like did she also do this with Pokémon that weren't hers? There were so many words stuck in his throat that Tyler wanted to voice they choked his ability to speak.

"Are you okay Tyler? You know we can always have this talk later if you still think you aren't ready for it yet." After another pause Wendy continued. "Why don't we do that? You should get some sleep; we'll pick this up again tomorrow."

"Wait, don't do that." Tyler said shaking his head as Wendy began to stand up. "I just… I just need a minute to compose myself again, that's all." He stood up off the couch taking a seated position on the floor, crossing his legs with his feet resting on their opposite legs. He placed his hands on the bottoms of his feet as he slowed his breathing. Deep breaths, held in his lungs before slowly being exhaled.

"Are you meditating?" Wendy asked looking at him surprised. Pulse too was watching him intently with a purple glaze appearing in his eyes.

"I'm finding my center, yes." Tyler said in an exhale. "I taught myself basic meditation a few years back. I find it really helpful in calming my mind whenever I'm trying to understand something that I'm not used to."

"Interesting…" Pulse's ethereal voice crept into Tyler's mind. "I was not aware that humans could use Calm Mind as well." Tyler flinched to the unfamiliar voice, snapping out of his stance, startling both Wendy and Pulse.

"Whoa, that's a first." Tyler said as he tried making sense of what happened.

"What was?" Wendy asked.

"I just heard a voice in my head. Like one that wasn't mine." Wendy's eyes shifted to her Pokémon once Tyler had finished his explanation. The Lucario was still standing stoically against the wall with his arms crossed. But on closer examination he appeared to be hiding a smirk behind his serious looking face.

"Pulse. You shouldn't mess with him like that…" Wendy said already trying to fight back a giggle.

"Pulse? You mean your Lucario? He did that?" Tyler looked back and forth from trainer and Pokémon looking even more confused with each second. Meanwhile Wendy was already snickering having failed to suppress the initial giggle. Pulse broke his stoic pose and looked directly at Tyler.

"I must apologize. I did not realize that you were still a virgin." The voice returned to Tyler's head as Wendy's laughter escalated. "I did try to be gentle with you, although I probably should have given you some lube first." Wendy couldn't contain herself anymore and burst out laughing, falling over onto the couch already in tears.

"Oh my God Pulse!" Wendy managed to gasp out between her laughter. Tyler still looked speechless as the Lucario joined her trainer in laughing at his expense. His laughter was a much softer, growly snicker compared to his trainer's gasping for air between laughs, but it was obvious to Tyler that he was being made fun of.

"Wait…" Tyler started as he began seeing what was going on here. "Were those sex jokes?" The Lucario nodded looking at him.

"Again I apologize. I have been reading both yours and Miss Wendy's auras since we arrived. The both of you have been clouded with anxiety and unease, so I thought it would be best to break the tension with a joke. And given the subject we were discussing, and Miss Wendy's own sense of humor, I decided these would be most effective at changing the mood." Pulse's matter of fact analysis only seemed to add to the hilarity of his previous remarks, getting Tyler to blush in embarrassment again.

"Dammit, even your Pokémon are good at making me blush." Tyler sighed looking at his feet.

"It hurts to laugh, but it's too funny." Wendy said finally beginning to show signs of regaining her composure, but letting another giggle slip in the process.

"I just hope we didn't disturb the neighbors." Tyler said quieting to a soft whisper remembering that it was after midnight. Another moment had to pass before Wendy was able to talk again.

"Okay then, now that that's out of our system shall we get started for real this time?" Wendy asked once she was sure she could contain herself again.

"Yes, I think we can begin." Tyler said while looking down at the floor and readjusting himself to a more comfortable position. Another deep breath and he looked at Wendy. "Okay, here's my first question…" Wendy swallowed apprehensively as Tyler chose his words. "How did Pulse learn how to talk?"

"Uh… That's not exactly the first question I thought you were going to ask me." Wendy said blinking through a blank expression.

"Yeah I know it's off topic already, but I can't help it. I've never met a Pokémon capable of communicating with humans before, let alone one good enough at it to make fun of me. I'm curious how he's able to do it."

"Um… okay. Pulse, do you want to handle this one?" Wendy asked looking to her Pokémon.

"If you insist master." Pulse nodded as his voice was projected into Tyler's head, once again eliciting another flinch from him. "Like many of my species, I have the ability to sense and read the auras of all living creatures. When I was a Riolu, Wendy helped me to develop my initial aura abilities. At first I was only able to understand her mood and with her guidance I began being able to communicate with her telepathically, but only when making direct physical contact with her. Once I had evolved and my abilities became more refined I was able to talk to her at a distance. And more recently I became able to project my thoughts to others, like I am with you."

"Wow, that's cool." Tyler said aloud, awestruck by the Lucario's ability. "Do you remember what the first word you said was?" Tyler placed the word said in finger quotes as he spoke it.

"I believe it was, Wendy."

"Yeah I probably could have guessed that much. Hey so does this mean you can read other people's thoughts and speak with them whenever you want?"

"I can, but I do not do it frequently. I believe it to be a gross invasion of a person's privacy."

"But didn't you just do that with me earlier?"

"That is correct. However I believed it was necessary because of the direction our conversation was going in… which I can sense that Miss Wendy would like to get back to."

"Thank you Pulse." Wendy said stepping into the conversation. "Now then Tyler, what sort of questions do you have for me? I'm sure you have a lot of them but Pulse and I will answer any question you have for the two of us." Tyler took a deep breath, pausing a moment to pick his words wisely. He did have a lot of questions that he wanted to ask but he knew what the first one was going to be.

"Okay, first serious question… Is having sex with… is what you and Pulse were doing legal?" Silence momentarily resumed.

"That's what I thought your first question would be." Wendy said after a moment looking at Tyler's chest. Following her gaze, Tyler remembered he was wearing police sweats and panicked.

"Oh shit! Uh… I swear I'm not going to report anything; this conversation will stay between us I promise. But you probably want an explanation for these clothes. Well you see my dad is a cop back in Phenac City and he got me these as a gift one day and I swear I'm not wearing a wire or anything like that. Look I'll even take it off to prove it." The hooded sweatshirt was already half off amidst his ramblings, but Wendy only giggled and raised a hand to stop him.

"Yes actually, it is legal."

"See, no wires or tape recorders anywh… wait what?" Tyler's dumbfounded jaw needed picking up off the floor

"It's actually legal for trainers to have sex with their Pokémon." Silence filled the room for a minute before Tyler responded.

"Granbull-shit. I don't believe you."

"I'm telling you it's the truth."

"My dad's a cop Wendy. I think I have a good idea of what is and isn't legal in this world. And I'm pretty sure having sex with a Pokémon isn't."

"Well it's not like you can just run around and stick your dick in anything willy-nilly." Wendy started. "There are quite a few laws in place to protect Pokémon that are in these kind relationships with their trainers from being abused and taken advantage of. For example baby Pokémon are completely off limits, as are any Pokémon under level 13."

"Okay well that makes sense at least. I mean that would technically make them minors after all." Tyler said nodding in agreement before catching himself. "Wait a minute, no! This is still wrong!"

"Well yeah doing anything to those Pokémon is highly illegal. If someone is caught doing that, they get brought before the courts and charged with a number of offenses including Pokémon abuse and statutory rape. If they are convicted, their Pokémon get taken away from them and are brought to a rehabilitation center for treatment before being released back into the wild. As for the trainer, they lose their trainer's license and will face prison time. Not to mention they have to register as a sex offender as well."

"I don't know if I should be impressed or scared that you knew all that off the top of your head." Tyler said after another moment of stunned silence.

"One of my fellow columnists wrote an article about the legality of Poképhelia a few months ago. That's part of what I remember from it."

"You said you worked for the Pokémon News Press right?" Wendy nodded. "You're telling me they seriously made one of their reporters do an article on people having sex with their Pokémon?"

"Oh no not them, that was an article for Sweet Kiss." The constant blinking and perplexed look on Tyler's face said everything that he himself was unable to at Wendy's last statement, so she continued. "It's a members-only online community that is dedicated exclusively to Poképhelia. I happen to write for them under a pseudonym in addition to my normal writing for the Poké Press.

"Why am I not nearly as surprised as I should be?"

"If you have a computer I could show you… if you'd like to that is." Tyler sat there thinking a moment after Wendy spoke which surprised him greatly. Given his rather explosive reactions earlier today, he expected there to be a voice in his head loudly protesting the direction this conversation was going, but it was absent. Instead there was a developing curiosity in Tyler's head that wanted to know more about the apparently legal act of Poképhelia. Before Tyler could think on the matter more Wendy interrupted his thoughts. "I take it that stunned silence means no?"

"Not necessarily." Tyler admitted, earning an amused grin from Wendy. "I have another question or two I want to ask though before we get to that point."

"Okay, like what?" Wendy asked while readjusting her position on the couch.

"Well, I mean if you don't want to talk about it I'll understand but… I'm kind of curious how you first started… you know."

"You want to know about the first time Pulse and I had sex?"

"How can you just be so straightforward with me about all this?" Tyler asked surprised at Wendy's bluntness. "I mean aren't you the least bit embarrassed talking about having sex with a Pokémon with someone who never even heard of it until today?"

"Well when you put it like that I guess it is a tiny bit uncomfortable. I bet I come across as a pervert knowing all these things about having sex with Pokémon." Wendy began looking over at Pulse for a second who was still stoically leaning against the wall. "It probably also doesn't help that I regularly talk to other Poképhiles about their own experiences, and that Pulse and I have had regular sex over the past year and a half. I guess I'm just used to talking about it so it doesn't bother me all that much anymore." Wendy said looking up at the ceiling as she tried to remember her first time with Pulse, completely missing Tyler's astonished look while she did.

"Okay, remember how I told you my dad is a Pokémon breeder?" Tyler nodded. "Well one day a trainer dropped off his Lucario and another dropped off his Infernape with us and we took care of them for a while. Sometime after they'd arrived, my dad found the two of them… well, you know. And then when Pulse's egg was discovered a couple days later, neither trainer was able to take it so daddy gave him to me. And I raised Pulse since then."

"Okay, but what does that have to do with the first time you... slept with Pulse?" Tyler's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as the words left his mouth, making Wendy giggle at his shyness.

"I'm getting there, don't worry your cute face." Tyler turned another shade brighter at that before Wendy continued. "So, I was 18 when it happened and in the middle of a pretty difficult part of my life. I was already trying to juggle school, college applications, my internship with the Poké Press and a number of other things when out of nowhere, I found out that my boyfriend at the time was cheating on me."

"What an asshole! I'm sorry but anyone who cheats on someone is just gutter trash in my book." Tyler growled with disgust, earning another amused giggle from the girl across from him.

"That's exactly what my friend Kara had said when I first told her; like literally word for word."

"Well it's true."

"Anywho..." Wendy resumed her story. "I just said I was sick of feeling like crap, I needed to take a break, step back for a moment and just recharge my batteries you know?" Tyler nodded with understanding. "So I set up a little week with my parents in Solaceon Town. Just get away from all the melodrama in my life and try to get my head on straight again."

"Uh-huh."

"Well while I'm there... let's just say there was some sexual tension in the air between me and one of my daddy's employees."

"Guy or girl?"

"It was a guy if you must know." Wendy rolled her eyes in spite of the grin curling on her face. "So as the week went on and I spent more and more time with him, the tension kept building up and up until one day it reached a point where I just couldn't stand it anymore. But I was really good friends with the guy, I didn't want to just jump him like a Lopunny in heat... Quick aside, do not ever try to get with a Lopunny in their heat or rut-cycles. You will not be able to walk for a week."

"I don't know what either of those things are, but I'm going to take your word for it." Wendy snorted a laugh at him, making Tyler somehow even more flustered than he already was. "What?! It's not my fault I don't know what these things are. I only just found out about all this stuff a couple hours ago!"

"No you're right, I'm sorry. It's just your face when you said that. It was so damn cute how embarrassed you got." Wendy wiped a tear from her eye. "You're such a cutie-pie Tyler... A Cutie-Ty. Hey, I like that. I'm gonna start calling you that now."

"Goddammit..." Even Tyler's ears at this point were starting to heat up as Wendy seemingly relentless teasing continued.

"Okay okay. So, like I was saying, I wasn't going to just jump this guy. But I couldn't be around him without thinking what it'd be like if I slept with him. So I decided to relieve my own itch by... by masturbating while thinking of him." At least now for around moment Wendy's face finally started to show some of the embarrassment Tyler was. Of course, Wendy talking about herself masturbating made Tyler's imagination kick on, as well as another part of himself get turned on as well. He bit his cheeks in order to try and keep himself focused, but the thought of this highly attractive woman sitting across from him pleasuring herself was a hard thought to shake.

"I'm sure you're already imagining the details yourself so I'll spare you them," Wendy smirked as Tyler continued to fight a losing battle. "Long story short, it worked, but maybe a bit too well because Pulse detected a change in my aura and came to investigate. He caught me in the act just like you did earlier today. You know, except without the whole kicking in the door part."

"That's because the door was already unlocked. All I needed to do was give it a push." Tyler heard Pulse's projected voice again and judging by the stunned look on Wendy's face, so did she.

"Pulse! You weren't supposed to say that part!" Now it was Tyler's turn to explode in laughter as he immediately slid onto the floor clutching his sides.

"Furthermore master, you were so engrossed in your own self-pleasure that you failed to notice me for a few minutes after."

"PULSE!"

"Oh my God! That's so funny!" Tyler wheezed out amongst his laughter.

*sigh* "Okay, get it all out of your system Tyler." Wendy's expression seemed to sour more as Tyler's laughter continued.

"Gimme a moment." It took more than just one moment, but Tyler did eventually pull himself together enough to sit back upright and calm his breath. Although, a sniggering chuckle and a smile that was struggling to be suppressed still showed his amusement of the situation.

"Anyway... once I realized Pulse was standing there, my first reaction was to cover up and make him leave, but he just didn't. Pulse kept staring at me, looking at me like he was seeing me for the first time again. And that's when I noticed he was erect. Kind of hard to miss something red standing firmly off the body of a blue-furred Pokémon, don't you think?"

"I'll have to take your word for it again." Tyler quickly replied.

"Well, then you'll have to take my word as well that Pulse's penis is a bit bigger than you might think for a Pokémon of his size. It really surprised me when I first saw it stand at attention. I was just so... enamored with it. I mean, I'd never thought of Pulse or any Pokémon in that way before, much like you before today. But before I'd even realized it, I invited him to join me and we just... had sex."

"Huh..." Tyler grunted with surprise. "Just like that, you two had sex."

"Yup. Lots of exploratory touching and feeling, kissing and that stuff. But eventually, my body told me that wasn't enough and that I needed more. So I offered myself to him, and we had sex."

"You make it sound so... normal though."

"Well for the two of us it is normal now." Wendy smiled at her Lucario who offered a smile of his own. "And I do kind of understand where your first reaction came from. Even I was like 'Oh my God, what did I just do?' after our first time. But eventually, we learned that it wasn't all that uncommon among other trainers. And I think it's actually helped me get closer to Pulse than we otherwise would be."

"Huh... I guess I never thought of it that way." Tyler admitted after a moment of reflection. Sure, his initial reaction was rather extreme as it was a rather extreme thing that he'd just barged in on. But when he thought about it critically, all of his shock and outrage had been simply because Pulse was a Pokémon. But in Wendy's eyes, Pulse was much more than just a Pokémon to her. He was a lover, which made what they were doing all the more natural for them. Although, now that Tyler was thinking about it, a morbid curiosity was starting to take form inside of him.

"So... if you don't mind me asking..." Tyler started, but his speech hesitated into a mumble.

"Mind me asking what?"

"How uh... I mean what's... What's it like?"

"What's what like?"

"You know... ... To sleep with a Pokémon?"

"You know, it felt a lot better than I had initially thought. And Pulse has just gotten better and better the more times we've done it." Wendy's emerald eyes briefly flashed with an excited sparkle. "He's got this wilder instinct that not a lot of people do, probably has something to do with his being a Pokémon you know? And he just knows how and when to press the right buttons with me to get me feeling amazing in no time flat. Hell, he even made me cum at least twice that first night before he'd even knotted me."

"Kn-Knotted me?" Tyler balked at the unfamiliar phrase.

"You see, when a male Pokémon is about to cum…"

"Nope! Stop! I don't want to know! Forget I asked!" Tyler said quickly raising a hand in front of her face to try and get her to stop.

"There's this gland in the base of their penis that begins to swell outward, like another set of balls-" Wendy continued anyway.

"Seriously please stop, I don't need to know this."

"And when they're about to cum, they push the knot inside, locking you in place so-"

"For the love of God Wendy, fucking stop already!"

"Oh... uh... whoops. I guess I got a bit carried away just now, huh?" Wendy giggled a bit shyly. "It's kind of an intense experience, but it feels really good in the moment."

"Oh my God." Tyler's whole body shuddered at the thought of what Wendy had just so vividly described. It was all he could even do for a moment before he noticed that Wendy had grabbed his laptop out of his backpack and was poking around his files. "Hey give me that! I don't want you looking up Poké porn on my laptop."

"You're no fun." Wendy pouted as Tyler grabbed his laptop back. "Though I suppose if you won't let me use yours, I guess I could just go grab some things from my personal collection."

"I mean I guess that's better than the alternative, but I-"

"Great, I'll be right back." Wendy got up and made her way to the door.

"No no no wait! I didn't say that." But she'd already closed the door behind her before Tyler could finish. He let out an annoyed groan into his hands as Pulse just stood there shaking his head slowly as silence returned to the cabin.

A/N: And there we go, 8 chapters are in the books... I still can't wrap my head around all these views.

Tyler: I can't wrap my head around what I just heard.

DrPhill26: I'll bet, you kind of did just have your mind blown after all.

Tyler: I mean I just can't believe it. Not only is Poképhelia a thing, it's actually legal?

DrPhill26: There's a lot of things out there that are surprisingly legal. For example did you know it's legal to own a Flamethrower in 40 states in the US?

Tyler: I do now! Anything else?

DrPhill26: The highly reactive/explosive /flammable compounds of Tannerite and Thermite are legal to own as well. We have some pretty awesome 4th of July parties where I'm from.

Tyler: Damn, sounds like you could have all kinds of fun with any of that.

DrPhill26: Yeah well that's what we do in America for the 4th of July, we celebrate the most important day in our nation's history by grabbing an ice cold beer and blowing up things in pretty colors. Want to join me in letting off some fireworks?

Tyler: You bet!

Wendy: Did someone say fireworks?

DrPhill26: Wendy? I thought you were getting things from your "personal collection".

Wendy: Not when fireworks are involved I'm not. Oh but I just realized we're stuck on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Where can we launch anything?

DrPhill26: Duh, the top of the battle deck of course. We can just launch them straight over the ocean, it'll be perfect. So let's not waste any more time and go blow stuff up!

Tyler: Yes! I'm so excited.

DrPhill26: Happy 4th of July to all of my readers both American and not. Thank you all so much for your views and a special thank you to all the people actively following this story. Every single one of you guys rock! This is DrPhill26 signing out and I hope to see you guys next time.
