In the early hours of a warm, humid Alolan morning, the rising sun slowly but surely emerged from the foggy horizon east of Ula'Ula Island, and its bright, beaming light soon covered it and all its inhabitants from coast to coast, from the great, dour walls surrounding what used to be Po Town all the way to the closed blinds of a quiet apartment near the shore in Malie City. The soft incoming light shifted across the bedspread within as the blinds were blown ever-so-gently by the slight breeze from the air vents cooling the shady room. The blankets began to toss and turn as the light danced across the bed. A light blue snout stuck out from underneath them, twitching sluggishly in the newfound light. After a few more minutes of fitful sleep, the sleepy fox tiredly let out a high-pitched yawn and pushed her head out. She turned to the window and huffed lightly before turning back and putting her head down again. Sabrina enjoyed sleepy days like this, especially when she could stay in bed with Tom. She rested on top of him, her head placed on his slowly rising and falling chest. She closed her eyes and breathed in his familiar scent, its reassuring aroma lulling her to relaxation like a tender lullaby. Tom's heartbeat resounded loudly in his chest and nearly lulled Sabrina to sleep again. She knew that they had to wake up eventually, however, and sighed as she leaned forward and gently began to lick Tom's face. His eyes soon opened and blinked rapidly a few times. He looked over to Sabrina and smiled, running his hands through her silky, ice blue hair and pulling her in for a long kiss. Tom couldn't help but hug her close and shiver as her cold tongue met his own and her frosty body laid down on his chest again. He pulled away from the kiss in short time to warm up but reassured Sabrina with a scratch underneath her chin like she loves. The groggy man slid off the bed and stretched upwards with a loud yawn. Sabrina did likewise, closing her eyes, leaning forward, and stretching her hind legs with a rumble. Tom walked around the foot of the bed and towards the door to the hall as she leaned backwards and stretched her front legs outwards, her body shaking, her eyes forced shut and her rear end pointed high in the air. Tom watched her and smirked as he walked by. He couldn't help but reach out and give her a tiny pinch on the behind. She yelped in surprise and looked over her shoulder to see Tom laughing heartedly. She growled playfully at him, and he massaged where he pinched her apologetically and walked to the door and down the hall.
Sabrina continued to stretch her legs as well as lick her fur into place and make it look nice and tidy. Cleaning herself up was no simple task after the fun the two of them had the night before; considering just how hard Tom went to town on her, Sabrina was surprised that she was able to wake up as early as she did. All the while she cleaned herself, sounds of pans clattering and cabinets opening and shutting came from the kitchen, and it wasn't long before the sound of frying and the smell of malasada reached the Ninetales as well. She abruptly realized how hungry she was, hurriedly stood and rushed to the edge of the bed, carefully stilled herself and hopped off as delicately as she could with a loud thud and grunt and moved quickly down the hall. She poked her head around the corner and saw Tom was indeed frying malasadas in the bright morning light, wearing nothing more than his boxer shorts. Her nose twitched excitedly on its own accord and she licked her lips expectantly while the smell of delicious fried goodness only grew stronger. Her feet made nearly silent tapping sounds as she anxiously stepped in place, her patience wearing thin as her hunger grew. Tom heard her nails clicking lightly on the linoleum before long and looked over his shoulder to spot her little head sticking out from behind the corner with a yearning look in her big blue eyes.
"I knew you would come running in here sooner or later after I started cooking these things," he said with a grin. "Don't fret now sweetie, these will be done in just a few minutes. Why don't you see what's on the television, huh? The weather's been looking nice and if the forecast is clear we could go out and do something. I've got the weekend off and we're already up early enough; we could go to one of the other islands even."
Sabrina hesitated in her anxiousness to eat but did as he said and walked into the spacious living room. She looked over the small black coffee table in the middle of the room and found the remote. She delicately picked it up by the end with her mouth, hopped onto the smooth leather couch, and placed it onto the arm, making sure to point the front end towards the TV. Using her small claws deliberately and precisely, the clever vixen turned it on and surfed through the channels, quickly finding the local news. The reporters were talking about something besides the forecast, but Sabrina was able to make out the small scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen with reports of the weather. It took quite a while for the bar to finally tell her all of what she needed to know, but luckily the weather report had no rain in sight at all for the whole weekend. She wagged her many tails back and forth, just thinking about all the fun things they could go do today and tomorrow: hike up Hokulani, go for a swim at Hano Beach, or maybe watch a Battle Royal match at the dome. The possibilities seemed endless to the eager Pokémon.
By now, the news report had switched to commercials. A quaint, dusty ranch appeared onscreen, a brown wooden house and surrounding fence encompassing a plethora of colorful Pokémon, mostly Miltank and Tauros. A perky rancher girl walked in from the left side of the screen and addressed the camera.
"Here at Paniola Ranch, we like to make your Pokémon feel right at home and comfortable with our beautiful fields, rustic scenery and down-home way of life. Nowhere else in all of Alola can you get the special kind of comfort you're Pokémon'll find here. It's just the right type of place for them to get in the mood with their special someone and finally add that adorable little member to your family you've always been missing. Stop by today!"
The screen followed up with images of parents and children playing happily among themselves: two Arcanine running after a litter of yapping Growlithe, a Braviary sheltering a Rufflet under each wing, a duo a of hovering Vivkavolt watching a Grubbin dig in the ground from high above and many more cheerful families. Sabrina's tails slowed to a stop without her notice, and her smile fell away. Tom stepped into the living room with a tray of dark chocolate malasada just as the Ninetales' head lowered, looking at her paws.
"Here they are Sabrina! I made the special dark chocolate ones. I knew you liked them and I thought they'd be good snack to wake up to. Here you go."
Tom placed the tray on the table in front of them and sat down next to his Pokémon. He grabbed one the fried treats, took a large bite out of it and moaned noisily.
"Oh, that is good. C'mon girl, go ahead and try one. I know you want some."
Sabrina slowly reached for one of the malasadas and unenergetically ate it. "You like it, right?" he questioned. She nodded slightly without looking at him, her eyes still trained on her paws.
"Well alright, if you're not hungry, that's okay, you can always finish these later. Hey, did the news say the weather was going to be nice today?"
Sabrina nodded once again in the same fashion as before. Tom observed her silently for a while. "Is something wrong Sabrina?" he asked her softly.
Sabrina remained unresponsive even as Tom reached out and rubbed her back. He tried to think of what could've caused such a change in her mood and found himself at a loss for ideas. All the while, the news broke to commercial again and the same commercial played once more. As the familiar voice came out of the TV, the troubled creature looked up at the screen and saw the same scenes of happy families playing and loving one another. She could bear to look at it no longer and dropped down onto her stomach, placing her paws over her eyes and whimpering loudly.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Tom questioned her as he grew more alarmed. He tried in vain to pry her paws from her eyes and happened to glance at the TV and saw the commercial. He had seen it come on before and remembered the way it showed how friendly and family-oriented it made the ranch appear. But why would such a thing such a thing upset his Pokémon like this, he wondered. He looked again at her and returned to gently rubbing her back in an effort to calm her. He frantically searched his thoughts for a reason she might react like this to something so happy. All the commercial showed were the ranch, one of the workers, some of the Pokémon families.
Tom paused at that last thought. Could that be what she was so upset about? He shifted closer to her and ran his hand through her crest of hair slowly.
"Is that what your upset about sweetie? Do you want to have a family like that?" he whispered to her. She nodded slightly without looking up or moving her paws from her face.
Tom continued massaging her reassuringly and sat in silence. He wasn't sure what he should say at that point. Though he wasn't any kind of expert on this sort of thing, he was pretty sure that Ninetales weren't on the short list of Pokémon that humans were reproductively compatible with. Yet he knew telling that to Sabrina may not be the wisest decision. Still, he had to tell her something.
"Well, I'm not really sure whether or not we can have a child together, but you shouldn't let that discourage you. I'll go check online just to make sure, but I want you to know that even if we can't, I still love you all the same, and we could always find a Pokémon to catch and raise it as our own."
Sabrina uncovered her eyes and looked up at him. Tears stained the fur around them a dark blue color. Tom smiled at her and scratched her chin. He grabbed one of the napkins from the tray he brought from the kitchen and wiped her eyes delicately.
"I'll be back in just a bit," he said. He grabbed one of the malasadas from the tray and handed it to her. "Here, eat this. It'll make you feel better."
Sabrina gingerly took the snack from his hand and began to eat it, at a slow pace however.
"That's a good girl," Tom remarked. He gave her a final pat on the head and made his way to the bedroom at a brisk pace. The computer was kept on the desk near the window there, usually going unnoticed considering Tom had a smartphone for all his business things now. Still, he preferred searching important things on the computer more than his phone. It felt more effective than his phone's search function, anyway.
Tom sat into the old chair and let the computer boot up. The machine was up and running in no time, and he quickly looked up whether or not humans and Ninetales could indeed reproduce with each other. A few websites in and Tom began to grow disheartened. Each website that he visited, including the official Pokémon Center and League websites, stated that the two species could not produce offspring. Tom fell back into the squeaking chair and stared at the ceiling, unsure of what to do next. He told Sabrina that they could just adopt a Pokémon as their own, but he knew it probably wouldn't be the same for either of them. As he sat there and thought about it, the possibility that they couldn't have children began to set in on Tom, like something was missing. He had never really considered it yet, but he suddenly found it was something he wanted, badly even. He felt his heart rate had risen, and his breath grew shallow. It just felt like an indignity to be unable to have a child and a family with someone you loved so much, he thought. Tom leaned forward and wiped his forehead with his hand. He didn't expect this to bother him as much as it did. He stared blankly at the bright monitor screen as he tried to think of a way to tell Sabrina she couldn't have a child.
Before he could come up with anything, he noticed a strange link on the webpage. It appeared to be for a website about traditional Alolan customs and legends. Curious as to why it came up in his search, he followed the link to an older-looking webpage filled with text. It explained some of the traditions of marriage and love in the Alola region before the Pokémon League became firmly established in recent years. Apparently, those few Pokémon who could reproduce with humans like Machamp and Gothitelle were actually permitted to marry humans by old Alolan custom. Many marriage partners would go to the Ruins of Life on Akala Island and pray to Tapu Lele for fertility. At this point in the writing, Tom had lost hope before reading an interesting part near the end: "Though many Pokémon cannot normally reproduce with people and thus weren't allowed to marry according to traditions on the Alolan islands, many great figures in the past had found ways to have children with Pokémon that could not normally do so and thus were allowed to marry." The page continued to relate that special mixtures of items were consumed before intercourse alongside visiting the Ruins of Life and praying to Tapu Lele for such a miracle to occur.
Tom couldn't believe what he had read at first, but a few other small, obscure websites seemed to back up such a claim, or at least verify such a legend exists. He quickly jotted down the items needed for the mixture, in this case a tea, and thought of what else they might need to bring with them. He got up, grabbed his old backpack from the closet, and raced into the living room. Sabrina looked up at him as he entered the room, puzzled at the excited look on his face. He came over to her and gave her a big hug.
"I've got good news, Sabrina!" he exclaimed with a grin. "It turns out there might be a way for us to conceive after all. Now, it's not a guaranteed thing, and it may even be nothing more than a pipe dream, but I think it's worth a shot. If nothing else, it'll give us something to do today."
Sabrina's face lit up immediately. She quickly bounded off the couch and over to the door, turning to face Tom eagerly with her tails wagging enthusiastically.
"Now hold on for just a second," he laughed. "I'm gonna have to grab a few things and we will have to stop for a bit to get some things on the way there. Let me go get everything real quick."
He went back into the kitchen and rifled through the cabinets. After checking through the bulk of them, he finally found what he was looking for: an old battery powered hot plate he used before he got the oven fixed when he first moved in with Sabrina a few years back. He only used it for a week or so, but he was never one for throwing working things away, especially something that really helped him out in a pinch once. It might've been a bit dusty, but the thing seemed to be working. Luckily, the tea set he needed was in a more conspicuous place in the cupboards above the counter. The tea kettle and the two cups were some cheap aluminum pieces for camping and weren't very fancy at all, but Tom wasn't all that picky about aesthetics anyway. Lastly, he emptied Sabrina's bowl and dried it off with a small towel on the counter. She'd get thirsty on their journey, no doubt. The items were put into the backpack and he opened the fridge. He grabbed a small carton of Poképuffs plus a few bottles of water and threw them into the pack as well. After double-checking everything was ready, Tom closed the fridge and headed towards the door. Tom was surprised to find that Sabrina had moved from it; before he could wonder where she went, he spotted her out of the corner of his eye wolfing down the last of the malasadas hastily. She was done before he could even let out a laugh and followed behind him as he walked through the door.
The warm, foggy Alolan morning had turned into a hellish afternoon humidity. By the time the two of them descended the stairs of their shady apartment building and rounded the corner headed for the pier, Tom was already breaking a sweat. Sabrina didn't show it, but Tom knew she would need to drink something in a little while. He made sure to walk on the sidewalk, conscious of the fact that the road would surely be scorching hot by this point in the day and that his Ice-type Pokémon's paws could be burned by it. They quickly made it down the stairs at the end of the road and into the heavenly coolness of the ferry terminal. Relieved as Tom was, he knew they couldn't afford to waste much time if they wanted to make it to the Ruins of Life and back before nightfall. Fortunately, the terminal appeared almost entirely empty and there was no wait for him to get a ticket for himself. Luckily, Pokémon are allowed to ride free of charge.
After a few minutes of waiting patiently in one of the seats provided, they and a few other people were escorted onto the ferry and soon headed across the sea. The fresh ocean breeze felt refreshing on Tom's skin, and Sabrina excitedly sniffed the salty air. It wasn't long before the ferry pulled into the pier at HeaHea City. They walked out onto the pier and headed into the city. The city looked beautiful to the two of them, the pretty buildings and the grand Tide Song Hotel giving the town a certain stately air that the homely Johto-inspired Malie City lacked. Still, they needed to keep going before long, and the pair continued far down the main road and took a right into Diglett's Tunnel. The dark, dirty tunnel was surprisingly larger on the inside than both Tom and Sabrina expected. The sound of people chatting and orders being given revealed a few workers were nearby fortunately, ensuring they would at least have someone else in the cave with them if they were to get lost. The path seemed straightforward and lit well enough to see, and they walked side-by-side along the rocky path.
The path carried them upwards and curved sharply to the right before bending left around a pillar of dark brown stone. The dirty cave floor was littered with small rocks and made the hike up the sloping path difficult for Tom; while Sabrina could walk with practically no disturbance in her delicate, precise steps, Tom could barely take more than few steps up the incline without stumbling or sliding. Tom had read that work on making the tunnel more accessible had only began recently but he kind of expected they would be a just a bit farther on it. Luckily, the path leveled out by the time they rounded the pillar and the path veered to the right. The cave darkened, and the sound of workers conversing grew dim as the pair continued. Here, dark stalactites reached downwards over their heads like the teeth of a great beast, and a chilling breeze blew in from its depths. Tom kept a calm veneer but felt a sense of apprehension creeping up on him. He'd never done much exploring and the cave was a lot more intimidating than he imagined. With all the nooks and crannies in the dark around here, he was sure there'd be some wild Pokémon about. Hopefully nothing too dangerous lurked nearby, he thought nervously. At least Sabrina appeared unruffled as she walked at his side.
Tom's thoughts were interrupted as the ground beneath his feet were upended and he was knocked flat onto his back. He gasped in pain as pointy rocks jutted into his back. Some kind of Pokémon broke the surface a few feet ahead of him and squealed loudly, but he couldn't make it out while his eyes were clenched shut as he writhed in pain. He strained to peak over his feet, finally managing to pick out the angry face of an Alolan variety of Diglett from the murky dark. The creature thrashed around and gestured violently in Tom's direction and rushed at him. Still reeling from the fall and unable to catch his breath, he couldn't lift himself from his prone position. The Diglett was nearly upon him when his own Pokémon sprung in front of him in a blue blur and released a torrential beam of ice nearly point blank in the unfortunate creature's face. In an instant, Tom felt as if all the heat from his body evaporated as shards of ice flew in all directions, shrieking as they flew past his head. He laid flat on his back, covered his face and dared not to move.
After what felt like an excruciatingly long wait, Sabrina at last returned to his side, her wide blue eyes worryingly examining him. The surrounding temperature plummeted again as she approached him, and her body glittered with a misty aura of millions of miniscule ice crystals, a feature that Alolan Ninetales use in combat. He shivered uncontrollably, at the cold temperature and not the Diglett, of course, he reminded himself. Satisfied that he at least looked okay, Sabrina backed away from him and shook herself fiercely, and the cloud of ice crystals was blown away but not without sending one last chill over Tom. She returned to his side and nudged him easily with her nose. With her help, he rolled over onto his stomach and held onto her shoulder to prop himself up. His legs felt a bit weak and his back was sore in several spots, but it wasn't as bad as he had first thought. Guess it was just an overreaction, he thought to himself.
The Diglett appeared to be gone, the place where it burst from the ground empty and completely coated in ice and frost; in fact, even the walls, ceiling, and the stalactites hanging from it were covered thoroughly. It struck Tom just how powerful a Pokémon like Sabrina was. He sure was fortunate to have someone like her at his side in a time like this. He patted her head with a weak smile and headed forward. He didn't go very far ahead before she sprung in front of him and took the lead. She kept her head high and diligently scanned the path ahead as she led the way, jerking her head from side to side and staring unblinkingly into the inky darkness of the dirty cave. Tom chuckled at her eagerness to protect him but was thankful all the same. He didn't want a repeat of the events that just unfolded, that's for sure.
The path appeared to be just a straight walk to the cave exit at this point, though neither of the travelers could see the exit yet. The cave seemed to be getting lighter, however; Tom could make out more of the path now, yet nothing was interesting enough to catch his eye. His eyes instead fell upon Sabrina as she confidently paced along ahead of him. Her fluffy tails waved elegantly in the air as she held them high. Tom trained his eyes on them for a while, yet unconsciously found his eyes drawn to her behind. Her wide hips hypnotically swayed back and forth, her plump hindquarters jiggling slightly with each step. He watched her intently until the bright sky appeared at the end of the tunnel and caught his attention. They hurried to the exit, with Sabrina bolting to it and looking back in anxious wait for her companion. Tom's attempt to speed after her were barred by the cumbersome erection that filled his pants, forcing him to instead shuffle awkwardly until it went down. He'd been unaware how aroused he'd became while watching her. The way she moved her body like that without even trying was just too much for him to not be. He shook his head to throw away the thoughts. He needed to save them for later and to keep focused on the task at hand.
Tom and Sabrina finally exited the tunnel and found themselves once again in the oppressive heat on Route 9. Luckily, their next stop, Konikoni City, was just a short way ahead. Tom took the lead as they passed underneath the old vermillion gate at the entrance to the city. The town was slightly smaller than Malie City but seemed similarly traditional and friendly. They walked along the side of the hot street until they reached the Pokémon center and went inside. The cool, refrigerated air felt wonderful on Tom's skin. He pointed Sabrina over to one of the empty seats nearby and headed over. Tom fell into the seat and let out a long-winded sigh. Sabrina laid down next to his feet on the cool floor and panted lightly. Tired as he was, he knew she must be thirsty (as was he) and produced her bowl and a bottle of water from the bag. He filled her bowl with half and appreciatively drank the other half himself, not caring about the small drops of water that dripped from the sides of his mouth as he downed the much-needed liquid. He gave her a Poképuff to chow down on while he went to the counter and got some things. Sabrina contentedly ate the sweet treat and rested her chin on her paws. She had excited herself terribly when the Diglett attacked Tom. There was barely any time for her to think before she reacted instinctively and violently blew away the aggressor. It'd been so long since she had fought in a battle, she didn't know she had that kind of strength within herself. Something just clicked into place when she saw her owner, her mate hurt and endangered like that. She didn't even think twice when she took charge and led them out of the cave. It just came naturally to her. Amazing as it was, the ordeal tired her out a bit, but just a moment's rest in the Pokémon center already had her feeling well enough to head out again.
Tom returned from the counter and put a jar of honey and an adrenaline orb into the pack along with the bowl and put it on. They stepped back outside and walked back east to the town entrance, the scenic gateway standing serenely between the city and routes beyond. Tom stopped along the way to walk over to a hiker and talk with him. Sabrina waited to the side patiently, using this time to lick herself clean of the dirt and other debris that had clung to her when they walked through Diglett's Tunnel. Her owner soon returned with some strange vegetable-looking items; a quick sniff from the inquisitive vixen revealed them to be nothing more than a common energy root and revival herb. After putting them away, they finally headed out from Konikoni for the Ruins of Life.
Memorial Hill didn't take long for the couple to pass through. The graveyard was entirely lifeless save for the two of them and the rare Zubat flittering overhead. The silence would be unnerving anywhere else at this time of day but seemed fitting for such a solemn place to them both. They remained quiet as they went their way, making sure not to step over any graves. Sabrina fell in closer to Tom along the way, and he patted her head comfortingly. It felt like an invisible weight was lifted from their shoulders as they exited the cemetery and made it into the Akala Outskirts. They were in the final stretch of their journey to the ruins now.
"Hey Sabrina, I can see the entrance to the ruins from here!" Tom exclaimed. "I bet I can beat you to it!"
Tom raced towards the ruins with a laugh, his legs pumping as he ran as fast as he could. In less than a second, the swift Pokémon darted past him like a sky-blue bullet at breakneck speed. She waited at the entrance with her tails wagging excitedly when Tom finally made it. He rested his hands on his hips and hung his head, trying to catch his breath. He knew he was nowhere near as fast as Sabrina but at least hoped that he'd get there sooner than he did. Sabrina yipped happily and jumped up on his chest, reassuring him with a lick to the face.
"Alright, you win. Now let's go on in and check it out."
They entered the opening to the ruins and followed a short, narrow passage. It soon opened into a spacious room with giant grey blocks barring the stone path they walked on. Surrounding the path was a large garden of beautiful flowers bathed in golden sunshine beaming in from the open ceiling. While neither Tom nor Sabrina were strong enough to move the blocks into the holes to fill the holes in the path, they could easily step over the stone siding and reach the garden surrounding it. Tom hopped over first, landing safely with a crouch. It wasn't a far drop, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. He didn't want to risk landing poorly and possibly hurting his back again. Sabrina came over to the edge and prepared to jump down, but Tom went ahead and helped her, lifting her over the side and slowly placing her onto the ground with a grunt. She could make the jump, of course, but she was a bit on the heavy side and drops like this were rough on her. They strode through garden briskly and passed by the fragrant foliage. The sweet scent of the pink flowers was soothing to the weary travelers both, and the fresh, soft grass felt like heaven on Sabrina's tired paws. Her powerful nose could sniff all the different kinds of smells from each variety of flower, each more pleasant than the last. She was almost sad when they stepped back onto the path and left the aromatic room.
The final chamber of the Ruins of Life appeared before them. While the room had a large garden surrounding it much like the previous one, a wide wooden floor led to raised platform with a strange plant and statue atop it. Tom knew this was where they needed to be. He motioned for Sabrina to follow as he walked up the stairs to the statue. The odd sculpture sat on a black platform with magenta accents, its surface covered with a painting of a fierce tiki face. Tom turned to his Pokémon and knelt close to her face.
"For this part of the ritual, Sabrina, we have to touch the statue and pray to Tapu Lele for fertility," Tom explained. Sabrina cocked her head to the side and blinked.
"Oh, I guess you wouldn't really get exactly what it means to pray," Tom realized. "Essentially, you just have to empty your mind and ask Tapu Lele to let us be able to have a child. It's important that you believe with all your heart that this'll work. You can do that, right?"
Sabrina nodded vigorously, jumped up onto the statue, and closed her eyes. Tom reached out and did the same, clenching his eyes shut in order to focus. They stayed motionless for a long time as they asked Tapu Lele for her blessing. They pleaded to her for a child so that they could finally be a true family. She was their only chance now, and they could only beg for her to help them.
After a while, Tom finally broke away from the stone and touched Sabrina on the back to let her know they could stop now. He stepped down the stairs with her and sat his back pack onto the floor just in front of the platform. She sat adjacent to Tom and watched curiously as he pulled out the necessities for the next part of the ritual. With the hot plate, tea kettle, and the two cups placed before him, Tom pulled out the energy root, revival herb, adrenaline orb, honey and the bottles of water. He poured all but one of the water bottles into the kettle and placed it onto the hot plate. With a small pocket knife he kept in his bag, he sliced the energy root into small pieces and dropped them into the kettle. Acting quickly, he pulled apart the revival herb into separate leaves, crushed the adrenaline orb between his hands and let both substances mix well into the water. The hot plate was turned to a temperature just below boiling and left alone with the kettle for about ten minutes. The couple waited in silence.
After enough time had passed, Tom removed the kettle and filled each cup nearly to the brim with the herbal tea. For the finishing touch, he added a bit of honey to each cup and let it swirl around to help curb some of the tea's expected bitterness. Sabrina watched as he grabbed his cup and took the first drink. He furrowed his brow as he swallowed the warm tea; even with the added honey, the drink was still quite bitter. Nonetheless, he still downed the drink in one go like the website had described. Tom picked up Sabrina's own cup for her turn as it would be difficult for her to drink from a small cup without any help. He held the cup to her furred lips and tilted it towards her carefully. She readily drank the liquid, licking her lips satisfactorily as her owner returned the cup to its former position. The strong medicinal bitterness of the tea actually tasted quite nice to her. Tom moved their stuff to the side and knelt in front Sabrina.
"I guess it's time we started, huh?" he whispered huskily into Sabrina's ear.
Tom wrapped his arms around her neck and pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips pressed softly together, and their tongues met. The cold, wet feel of Sabrina's flat tongue lapping against Tom's own was a refreshing change from the hot, pungent tea. She quickly overtook his own tongue and probed his mouth, her long tongue exploring every warm inch. All the while, Tom ran his hands up and down her back, digging his fingers into her soft, chilly fur. Up and down he traced his fingers, exploring from the base of her tails to nape of her neck. She whined quietly into his mouth as he reached the top and lightly scratched just behind her ears. The enraptured fox placed her forelegs onto his shoulders, forcing him to angle his head back and let her kiss him more forcefully. With her body held up, he was able to bring his hands lower, first rubbing along her smooth sides and then reaching underneath her to rub along her down-like belly and tease her numerous icy nipples. She whimpered weakly and trembled as his warm, rough fingers traced back and forth across her sensitive teats and massaged her fleshy, supple mounds. It didn't take long for her dark blue nipples to become stiff and leak small beads of her sweet milk, and she could barely keep still as her body quaked in arousal. Tom could hardly contain himself either, his own arousal straining painfully at his pants. He lifted Sabrina off his shoulders and onto the floor in front of him, trying his best to quickly unbutton and remove his pants. He struggled for a while with his belt but finally pulled them off, freeing his throbbing member to his great relief.
Tom breathed heavily as waves of arousal swept over him repeatedly. His erection continued to throb almost painfully in the cool air, already leaking at the tip. It seemed the tea was starting to take effect on him. By the way Sabrina had turned around and raised her behind towards him with her legs spread, he guessed it was working on her too. He took off his shirt and inched over to her, taking a firm grip on her big, soft ass and lining himself up. Sabrina let out a quivering moan as he squeezed her thick rump teasingly, her flesh slipping between his fingers as he made slow circular movements. The tea did indeed affect her it seemed, with waves of heat pulsing across her body from their origin in her nether regions and her pink twitching slit already spilling its liquids onto the floor. She could only gaze back at Tom with a begging stare, trembling in wait as she presented herself to him.
Tom could likewise barely contain his lust and waited no longer to thrust his cock into her waiting entrance. He wasted no time and hilted himself inside of her only to pull out as quickly as he pushed in and repeat over and over. Her insides were already slick with her lubricant and posed little resistance to his engorged member as it ravished her. His hips smashed into her fat ass over and over, making a wet, erotic slapping noise each time he thrusted balls deep into her. The enraptured Pokémon gasped as he pounded her passionately, his large phallus completely filling her warm vulpine sex and sending pulses of ecstasy coursing up and down her body from head to toe. His cock scraped all along her tunnel and hammered her cervix like waves ceaselessly crashing against the shore. Her vagina clenched possessively around him, trying its best to keep his girth inside of her. Tom gritted his teeth as her warm, velvety fox pussy tightened and stimulated his swollen rod. He couldn't last much longer at this rate, and by the way she was moaning, it didn't seem like she was either.
He leaned into her, squeezed her round furry ass even tighter to get a good grip, and began to plunge his girthy cock into her madly. Sabrina gasped in surprise and bliss as he fucked her with newfound speed and energy, his increasingly growing cock stretching and rubbing against every inch of her slick, sensitive passage. Weak as she may be from the sexual excitement, she did her best to push back as he thrusted. Tom grunted harshly as he would pull out so the very tip was just between her puffy, slippery lips then throw himself right back inside, sinking his cock into her moist hole and slapping his balls against her ass loudly. She struggled to keep from sliding across the slick wood floor each time he thrusted powerfully into her, and her legs were starting to give underneath his overwhelming blows and her ecstasy.
With a ragged gasp, her pussy began to contract rhythmically, each spasm stronger than the last, as the familiar sensation of orgasm began to swell throughout her body. Tom's dick likewise began to throb in tandem, each pulse reverberating down his shaft just as her pussy would squeeze around him maddeningly tight. Sensing his orgasm coming, he stood, pulled her backend towards him and held her aloft, her big fat ass jiggling as he pushed in and out as much as her constricting womanhood would allow. She moaned in pleasure as her back legs left the ground and allowed her to go limp, her back end left to feel nothing but the incredible sensation of her body being taken by her lover. Her quaking moans turned into a howl of ecstasy as she finally came, and her pussy clamped uncontrollably like a vise around his member and spilled her fluids in a torrential flood across Tom's waist and down her own thighs and legs while her cervix began to open. Tom eyes were forced shut as the combined pressure and vibration pushed him over the edge and sent surges of euphoria throughout his body. He slowed his thrusts, going hard and deep as his convulsing cock penetrated her womb and fired rope after rope of his hot, sticky cum deep within her. Sabrina's tongue hung limply out the side of her mouth and dripped drool onto the floor, her mind unaware of it as her body shook with orgasmic stimulation from Tom's pounding alongside the numbingly pleasant feeling of his seed filling her from deep within. More and more his seed erupted into her, its warmth spreading deeply throughout her as it soon filled her to the brim.
Even as he felt the head of his penis covered in his own jizz as her womb became seemingly completely filled, Tom still didn't feel the high of his orgasm leaving and still spurted shot after shot of his spunk into her needy womb; likewise, Sabrina's ravenous cunt still constricted his rod while pouring her lubricant onto the both of them, so much so that a puddle had begun to form on the floor. Nonetheless, he continued to thrust his dick into her, his seed beginning to seep from her womb and fill the rest of her canal. Sabrina weakly moaned in contentment as the unending flow of his semen stretched and expanded her womb somehow, the growing sense of fullness giving her an unexplainable kind of satisfaction. Even as the excess fluid slipped into her vaginal canal and past her sensitive, quaking lips, his rigid manhood still delved into her uterus and pulsated powerfully within her core, releasing her lover's very essence into the deepest parts of her body and stuffing her with it more quickly than it could be escape. Her other senses dulled until only the feeling of Tom's ministrations and the warmth of his fluids remained, almost as if she were in some state between waking and sleep. She wasn't even able to feel her feet touch the ground the as Tom lowered her and got on his knees, all the while never ceasing to fuck her. He could sense a similar feeling creeping up on him too, his vision becoming unfocused and blurry, only the sensation of her warm vagina pulling and tightening in mad paroxysms around his member and his ejaculation still identifiable.
His thrusts began to weaken at a slow, drawn-out pace. Even as he began to slow down, his dick still persisted in shooting more and more ejaculate into Sabrina's now quite enlarged womb. He finally came to a rest and leaned forward exhaustedly, still implanted deep inside her and cumming. She too could barely stay awake, the pleasure and excitement of it all proving too much for her. Much like her owner, her body continued the sexual act and tried its hardest to keep his phallus inside of her, somehow managing to keep collapsing all over him. Seeing as how Tom was unable to muster the strength or willpower to break free from her pleasuring grip, it seemed to him that it was working. With no other recourse, Tom gently gripped her and leaned both of them over onto their sides. He grabbed her by the fluffy fur on her chest and pulled her to his own, giving her soft kiss on the cheek as they both were lulled to sleep even as they each still orgasmed, with Tom drifting away with the heavenly sensation of her pussy tugging and squeezing him and Sabrina sent off to dream on cloud nine as Tom filled and swelled her belly with his steamy, viscous love.
Tom didn't have any idea how much time had passed when he had awoken. The orange sunlight filtering in from somewhere told him it was still daylight at least, but he couldn't be sure how much longer the day would last. He sat up, groaning hoarsely at the surprising stiffness of his muscles. It took him a while to remember what had even happened and how they got to wherever it is that they were now. Considering how much time they spent getting there and doing the act, he realized that they'd need to hurry up if they wanted get home before dark. Luckily, it seemed like he'd finally grown flaccid and could be released from Sabrina's grip. He stood up and put on his dirtied clothes with a grumble; he would have to wait until they got home to clean off, unfortunately. He stepped back over to Sabrina's side and lightly shook her. Nearly a minute had passed as he jostled her, and Tom began to worry before the sleeping fox finally stirred from her rest.
Still, he thought, we really did go at it this time. It's no surprise we both seem absolutely exhausted.
Sabrina hesitantly opened her eyes and looked up at Tom. She grunted sleepily as she hefted herself onto her belly and shakily rose to her feet, Tom helping her up along the way. As he lifted her front end up from the floor, Tom noticed a strange large bump in her belly near hear hindquarters. With a light touch, Tom ran his hand over the odd protrusion and felt her soft, fluffy fur. He squeezed his hand very lightly and felt the lump underneath the skin flow malleably yet with a certain viscous resistance. He smirked at the realization he had filled her to such an unbelievable degree with his seed. The sleepy blue fox moaned softly as he felt and massaged it, the weight and heft of her stuffed womb simultaneously encumbering yet pleasurable to her. Her pussy seemed to be sealed shut, too, with no trace of his semen seeping past her lower lips at all. Tom couldn't help but feel pride at the sight of what he was able to accomplish, how he was able to perform and satisfy his lover; still, with the sheer amount of it inside of her, he wouldn't be surprised if he was unable to get it up for at least a week. Even now, his genitals felt quite sore, though they were mostly numb. He imagined Sabrina felt quite the same.
Eager to get going, Tom hobbled over to their collection of items and put them into his backpack as briskly as he could. He watched as Sabrina stumbled over to him with some trouble. Her legs shook with each step and she almost tripped along the way. It seemed to him she was still tuckered out, and the added weight she was carrying with her couldn't help. Tom suddenly remembered something and began to search through the many pockets on his bag. Sabrina idly observed as he rifled through them and finally produced her old Premier Ball. Tom had forgotten about putting in here so long ago. With him being comfortable letting Sabrina walk around, they never had much use for it anymore. Now, it would prove to be quite useful.
"I'm just gonna put you in your ball for a little while Sabrina, at least until we get back home," Tom said tiredly. "It'll be a lot quicker with just me doing the walking."
Sabrina nodded tiredly in agreement. She sure didn't want to walk all that way again on a full belly. Tom pressed the small button on the Pokéball, watching as it opened and covered his weary Pokémon in a bright blue light and pulled her incorporeal form into itself. He safely stored her in the ball pocket of the backpack and set out on the long journey home.
The sun had fallen behind Mount Hokulani for some time when Tom finally made it to the door of their apartment. He barely had the energy to fiddle through his keys, find the right one, and make it through the doorway. The weary traveler let out a long, painful growl as he felt the relaxing cold air welcome him. Even at night, the Alolan heat didn't let up, and he'd become drenched in sweat before he even left Ula'Ula. Not even the ocean breeze on the last ferry ride out was enough to beat the heat. One by one, Tom removed his clothes a threw them haphazardly around the room and down the hall, unable to care at this point; he'd just get them in the morning, anyway. With his discard garments strewn all over the apartment, Tom dropped his backpack onto the bedroom carpet and pulled out Sabrina's Pokéball. With a small click, she appeared on the bed, already laid down asleep. Tom quietly placed the Premier Ball back in the pack and slid into bed next to her. He pulled the comforter around them and scooched her over to him smoothly. The sleeping Ice-type Pokémon sighed deeply as he ran his hand through her soft furred chest and rubbed the rest of her belly. He sensitively caressed the large bulge that still remained on her lower belly, imagining it to be the egg that, with any luck, would soon follow in the coming days. Tom smiled at the thought as he swiftly followed Sabrina to sleep.
The next several days came with anxious waiting for any sign of conception. While the lump had gone down within a day or so, Sabrina had yet to show any signs of pregnancy. Tom tried his best to keep from bringing it up, choosing instead to occupy her with games or walks in the garden. She took to it well when they were together, and she played and enjoyed herself as much as they did before. Still, he knew the wait had to be hard on her, especially when he had to work, and she was left home alone. She put up dishes, cleaned around the apartment, picked up clothes, anything to avoid brooding on the issue. No matter how hard she'd try and busy herself with chores or T.V., the fear that it didn't work would always creep up on her. It hurt her so much to think everything they did could be for nothing, that it was all a wild goose chase and they could never have a child. She tried to keep her hopes up, but with each passing day, they were fading away.
Almost two weeks had passed when Tom came home from another long, boring day of work and found Sabrina lying flat on the couch, tails flicking back and forth anxiously in the rusty sunlight of dusk. When the waiting Pokémon heard the door click open and saw her tired owner walk through the doorway, she leapt off the couch and shot over to him, yipping loudly and running back and forth in front of his feet. Tom couldn't make heads or tails of whatever it was that she was excited about as she spun around in circles before him. Without warning, she took off down the hall and dashed towards their bedroom.
Tom quickly fell in pursuit, trailing behind her as she nudged open the door to their bedroom and shot around to the other side of the bed. He nervously stepped around the bed to find her smiling up at him and sitting beside a small pile of what appeared to be vomit of some kind. He paused for a moment and tried to process the situation.
"Well, uh, I guess I'll clean this up. Thanks for pointing it out to me," Tom said with a puzzled look.
Before he could even step back to the kitchen for paper towel, the excited Pokémon sprung unto their bed next to him, rolling onto her back and continuing to whine for his attention. Tom chuckled and indulged her with a belly rub.
"What's gotten into you, girl? I hope you're not coming down with anything. You sure are acting strange to-"
Tom's voice broke off as he rubbed his hand across her belly and noticed it felt slightly larger and curvier, almost unnoticeably so. Her teats to be enlarged as well, her many dark blue mammae swollen and bulging. Everything suddenly fell into place, and Tom grinned from ear to ear. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly, laughing loudly as she licked his face wildly and likewise wrapped her forelegs around him as best she could. The embracing pair twisted and turned until they fell together onto the bed, still laughing and licking like there was no tomorrow. Once they had finally calmed down, they laid close together, with his arms wrapped around her and her head resting on his chest. Tom looked into his love's eyes and kissed her softly, running one hand through her silken crest and the other gently across the baby bump of the soon-to-be mother of his child. Both lost track of the time as they held each other close, drifting to another blissful sleep in the dying Alolan sunlight and the arms of the one they loved most in all the world.
