Hey everyone, I'm back! I don't have much to say. Thank you to everyone who's been reading so far. With that out of the way let's jump back into the story.

(5 Days Later, Driftveil City)

The trek to Driftveil City was uneventful, filled with small talk and laughs as Andrew and Rosa remembered their Unovan adevnture, where the spark of love had first been struck between them. He had also been spending time with Candice, Maylene, and the other girls he hadn't gone on a date with yet, he didn't want them to feel left out.

Andrew had also noticed Lyra was still glancing at him and spending more time with him, or at least trying to be closer to him. He didn't want to push it though and decided to let it be and let things play out, it was her choice in the end.

"Man Roark and Byron would have a field day here," mused Andrew as he saw all the evidence of mining activites.

By the time they had reached the Pokemon Center the sun was setting, so Andrew decided he would challenge Clay in the morning.

Andrew was walking down the hallway towards his room, having just made some transfers for his team, when he heard Candice speak.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asked. Andrew could hear the lust in her voice and turned to see her in a baby blue negligee, leaning forward to give him a very generous view of her cleavage. He then spotted Maylene in a pink nightgown also in the room, her eyes hazy with lust as well. "We wanted to thank you for spending time with us," the pinkette said seductively, "and doing your best to not make us feel left out." "Plus," Candice said, walking over and tracing circles into the blonde's chest, "We all thought you looked really hot in that concert getup." Andrew chuckled, "Glad you think that, I might have to wear it more often then."

"Well come on in big boy," purred the Ice specialist as she walked back to her room, putting a sway in her hips, "show us your metal machine."

Andrew needed no further encouragement and walked in, locking the door behind him. Within minutes moans of pleasure could be heard coming from the room.

(The next day)

Andrew woke up flanked by Candice and Maylene, a very satisfied look on both of their faces. "That was one hell of a show they gave me last night.," thought the blonde, "Should have guessed there was something between them, they were always so close when I saw them together."

Andrew was pulled from his thoughts as he heard the two girls groan as their eyes flickered open. The two females immediately smiled as they locked eyes with their blonde-haired lover. "Mmm, good morning sweetie," said Candice sleepily as she kissed him. "Good morning my snow angel," responded Andrew, earning a blush from Candice and a giggle from Maylene. "Good morning rock star," chirped the pinkette as she kissed Andrew, "Good morning my love." "Aw, no pet name for me?" she pouted, earning a laugh from Andrew, "I'll think of one."

"That was a hell of a show you two put on for me last night," said the Sandgem native. "I'm glad you liked it," purred Candice, "I've had feelings for each her for a while now. Why do you think I said I didn't mind sharing you with her?" "Fair enough" said Andrew, "But dear Arceus that was hot." "Well we'll have to do it more often then," said a giggling Maylene. The pinkette had always thought her relationship with Candice was a sisterly one, but last night brought out a slew of emotions from her she never knew she had. But they still loved Andrew so much, he made them feel complete.

After the three showered they met up with the others, the two girls hanging off their lover's arms. Lucas and Barry looked at Andrew incredulously when they saw the satisfied look on the girls' faces, a look their friend responded with a toothy grin.

(1 Hour Later)

As Andrew and the group walked in a voice boomed throughout the arena. "Well lookie who's here," said a mountain of a man in a Stetson hat as he walked towards the group.

"Well hey there Clay," said Andrew as he stuck out his hand, "How's the mining going?"

"Haulin' in gems and metal like there's no tomorrow," laughed Clay. "Elesa? Roxie? What are you two doin' here?" asked Clay confused, Elesa and Roxie, as well as Skyla, were like the granddaughters he never had. The two blushed as they walked up to Andrew and hugged him, "We're here with our boyfriend," said Elesa as she looked at Andrew lovingly. Roxie nodded in agreement, "We share him and he's more than able to make it work. He's simply amazing," said the Poison specialist dreamily. Clay smiled, they had told him of their fears of never finding someone who truly loved them and he was happy they had found someone.

"You got yerself some lovely ladies there boy," said Clay, "best not let them go." Andrew simply smiled as he gripped Elesa and Roxie tight, "Don't worry Clay, I have no intention of ever letting go. My world would be cold, dark, and meaningless without my girls and they'll never truly know just how much they mean to me." The girls were brought to tears by their love's statement, they were so happy they gave him purpose.

"Well Clay, I think you know why I'm here." "You're damn right I do! And how could I refuse? It ain't every day I face the Champion of THREE regions. Don't think I'll be going down easy though."

"Wouldn't want it any other way," grinned Andrew.

"This six on six battle between Clay and Andrew will now begin!" "Six on six huh? More fun for me then," grinned the blonde as he fastened his cap.

"Krookodile let's cause a ruckus!" "Carracosta let's rumble!"

"You can go first Andrew, I wanna see what a Champion can do." "Big mistake Clay. Carracosta use Water Pulse!" Carracosta opened his mouth and fired a jet of water aimed directly at the crocodile's head. "Krookodile use Dig!"

"Stay sharp buddy, he's down there somewhere," cautioned Andrew, Carracosta nodding in agreement as he scanned the battlefield. Andrew suddenly spotted a small indentation on the ground not far from the Water type. "Carracosta Iron Defense stat!" he barked. Just as Carracosta retreated into his shell, Krookodile burst from the ground. "Smack Down now!" In a flash Carracosta burst from his shell and swung one of his arms down onto Krookodile, sending the Ground type crashing into the ground. Shaking his head Krookodile retreated back to his box.

"Not bad Andrew," whistled Clay, "that Carracosta of yer's is mighty fast." "You should see my other Pokemon, Rapidash can run the length of your field in seconds."

"But he ain't the only one with speed. Krookodile get in close and use Thunder Fang!" Krookodile took off with surprising speed and chomped down on Carracosta's arm, teeth crackling with electricity.

"Use Brick Break to make him let go!" The water type nodded and clocked Krookodile on the head with his free arm for heavy damage, forcing him to let go.

"Krookodile use Outrage!" Krookodile nodded and he was suddenly surrounded in a red aura. With a deafening roar he charged the turtle. "Use Rollout to dodge and follow it up with a Hydro Pump!"

Carracosta turned into a ball, narrowly dodging Krookodile and rolled several yards away. As he uncurled he began to pressurize water in his mouth, unleashing it to send Krookodile crashing into a nearby wall with the force of impact.

"Krookodile is unable to battle, Carracosta wins!"

"Alright sonny let's see if you can go two for two. Flygon let's go!" "That's a mean lookin' Dragon type you got there Clay, wouldn't be surprised if Drayden comes here now and then." "Oh Iris is all over him," laughed Clay as he remembered the budding Dragon Master fawning over Flygon last time she was here.

"Well you're not the only one with a powerful Dragon. Grymloq 'ere we go!" With a deafening roar the massive blue dinosaur appeared, ready to fight.

"Tyrantrum versus Flygon begin!" "Flygon use Dragon Claw!" "Grymloq block it with Dragon Tail!" As Flygon got close Grymloq swung his tail to meet the attack. "Now dodge and use Dragon Rage!" Flygon grinned and quickly flew out of the way, cancelling his previous attack and began to fly around Grymloq, peppering him with orbs of draconic energy. Grymloq roared in fury as he tried to catch the annoying ground type, but to no avail. "Grymloq get a hold of yourself!" yelled Andrew, "Use Draco Meteor!" Fighting the barrage of Dragon Rages Grymloq aimed his head high and unleashed a single purple orb. As it reached its apex the orb exploded into several smaller orbs that rained down, several of which hit Flygon as he desperately tried to dodge.

"Now's our chance! Grymloq use Head Smash!" roared Andrew. With a mighty roar Grymloq thundered over to the falling Flygon, the ground shaking with every step the massive Pokemon took. Flygon was catapulted into a wall as Grymloq rammed his head into the ground type, slumping down with swirls in his eyes. Grymloq, seeing he was down, let loose a deafening roar in triumph, he had shown that nuisance that GRYMLOQ was the ruler of the battlefield.

"That's a mighty impressive Pokemon you got there Andrew. Too bad he's not ground type, such a powerful Pokemon would make me an even tougher gym."

Grymloq nodded in appreciation, happy that someone else recognized his power. "Alright Clay, you're gonna make his ego bigger than he is," laughed Andrew as he returned his dinosaur.

"Alright Djaf, you're up!" "Try this on for size sonny! Golurk let's rumble!"

"Ghost-type huh? Didn't think you could be this sneaky Clay," joked Andrew. "No matter, I don't need type," said the blonde as he pushed the stone on his wristband, causing a pink light to envelop Djaf. Seconds later the light died down to reveal a Mega Lucario.

"Well I'll be," said Clay in awe, "So this is mega-evolution."

"Alright Djaf let's kick this off with Shadow Claw!" With blinding speed Djaf took off and swiped at Golurk with claws covered in ghostly energy for good damage. "Golurk let's retaliate with Fire Punch!" Golurk activated his thrusters and hurtled towards Djaf, his right fist wreathed in fire. "Djaf dodge and use Ice Punch!" Djaf nodded and jumped out of the way of the charging Golurk, slamming an ice-coated fist into the ghost-type's side.

"Golurk use Stomping Tantrum!" Golurk nodded and slammed his foot into the ground, causing a tremor to ripple out across the field, making Djaf fall on his face. "C'mon buddy get up! I know you're tougher than that!" yelled Andrew. Djaf slowly got up and, encouraged by his master's words, let out a roar and looked angrily at Golurk. "That's the spirit! Now use Flash Cannon!" roared Andrew. Djaf pointed his hands at Golurk and fired a silver orb that hit the ghost type squarely in the chest, sending him toppling over unconscious.

"Golurk is unable to battle, Lucarion wins!"

"You've gotten this far whipper-snapper," said Clay, "but can you handle the others?" "Bring 'em on Clay, I can take 'em."

"I'm holding you to that," grinned the miner, "Mamoswine let's rumble!" "Mamoswine huh? I got an idea." Andrew motioned for Dawn to come down and after telling her his plan she grinned and handed him a Pokeball. With a kiss on his cheek she skipped back to the stands.

"Alright Clay, that's an impressive Mamoswine you got there. But let's see how he stacks up against this one! Mamoswine, spotlight!" As Dawn's Ice type emerged he looked around confused, this wasn't a Contest. "Hey Mamoswine, what would you say to a battle?" Mamoswine grinned, he had been wanting a good scrap recently.

"Alright then, let's do this!" "Use Iron Head!" yelled Clay. With a thunderous roar Clay's Mamoswine charged toward's Dawn's. "You too buddy, CHARGE!" roared Andrew. With an equally loud roar Dawn's Ice type charged his opponent, a loud crashing sound echoing through the stadium as the two titans clashed and locked tusks. For a minute they were in a stalemate and retreated. "That's a strong one you got there missy," said Clay as he turned to Dawn, "You've raised him well." The Twinleaf girl smiled, all those times she had to put up with Mamoswine's disobedience paid off.

"Mamoswine use Avalanche!" With a roar Clay's Mamoswine summoned a torrent of ice chunks and hurled them at his opponent. "Superpower!" roared Andrew. To Clay's shock Dawn's Mamoswine charged through the barrage of ice and slammed into his own mammoth, toppling him over with swirls in his eyes. Dawn watched in awe as she saw the cloud of sparkling crystals her Pokemon left behind as he crashed through the chunks.

"Mamoswine is unable to battle." "Great job Mamoswine," said Andrew as he petted the mammoth's sides. Mamoswine snorted appreciatively, glad to have had a good scrap. Andrew was glomped seconds later by a squealing Dawn, almost tackling him to the ground. "That was so cool Andrew! That last move looked so pretty with the ice crystals!" she beamed. "Glad I gave you some ideas," chuckled the blonde as he kissed the bluenette, forgetting where he was.

Clay looked on smiling, "Ah young love," he sighed. "Well Andrew you've got yerself quite the team. It's been a while since I've faced someone as strong as you." Andrew and Dawn broke apart at Clay's voice, both bright red as they realized where they were, earning a laugh from Clay and a giggle from the girls in the stands, while Lucas and Barry snickered at their friend's embarrassment.

"T-Thanks Clay," stuttered the clearly embarrassed trainer as Dawn walked back, her face also a deep red.

"Well Andrew, I can't wait to see what else you got in store for me. Seismitoad let's make some noise!" Getting his blush under control, Andrew pulled out his next Pokeball, "Skorupi let's bring down the house!" As the little scorpion appeared he hissed angrily at Seismitoad, ready to fight.

"Alright Seismitoad use Rain Dance!" After Seismitoad fired a blue orb into the air it began raining, causing the battlefield to become muddy. "Very sneaky of you Clay, muddying the battlefield to make Dig harder. And since Seismitoad is glowing he has Swift Swim. But it won't stop us! Skorupi use Poison Jab!" The small scorpion turned around and slammed his tail down, catapulting him over the quagmire and feet away from the massive frog. Within seconds Skorupi had jammed his tail into Seismitoad's side, causing the massive frog to roar in pain as poison racked his body.

"Shit, Seismitoad's been poisoned!"thought Clay, "Gotta make this quick"

"Seismitoad use Facade!" "Skorupi get out of there!" The scorpion tried to flee, but he was slowed down by the mud. Seconds later he was sent flying by the super-charged Facade, knocking him out. "Well played Clay, Seismitoad packs a punch," spoke Andrew as he returned the downed scorpion, "Very clever with the Rain Dance."

"But when I have my back to the wall, that's when I shine! Torterra, to victory!" With a monstrous thud Andrew's faithful starter appeared. "Alright buddy it's up to you, I know you can do it," said the blonde as he patted Torterra's head affectionately.

"Alright Torterra use Energy Ball!" "Dodge and use Icy Wind!" As Seismitoad went to move, he stopped, the poison wracking his body. As the green ball of energy slammed into him, he was discovered unconscious as the dust settled.

"Well well, we're both down to our last Pokemon eh whipper-snapper. I told you I wouldn't go easy." "That you did Clay, and you've certainly given me hell. But it ends here. Torterra to victory!"

"Excadrill let's dig deep!"

"Torterra use Razor Leaf!" "Excadrill use Drill Run!" "Stop and head him off with Iron Head!" Torterra nodded and ceased his barrage of leaves and hurtled towards Excadrill, his head glowing silver. Seconds later the two Pokemon crashed into each other, a small explosion surrounding them as energy was released. "Sunny Day quick!" ordered Andrew as his starter's tree glowed orange.

"Excadrill use X-Scissor!" "Torterra give 'em Da Great Green Wallop!" roared Andrew. Everyone looked confused, while Torterra grinned. "What's he planning?" muttered Clay. Torterra suddenly fired a barrage of leaves, causing Excadrill to lose focus. Seconds later a green hammer coalesced from several tendrils shooting out of the grass type's tree, sending Excadrill skyward. As Excadrill reached his apex he was slammed by a Solarbeam Torterra had been charging since he used Wood Hammer.

When Excadrill hit the ground he had, unsurprisingly, swirls in his eyes and a little smoke coming off of him. Torterra was panting from using so many powerful moves so quickly, but wasn't exhausted.

"Excadrill is unable to battle. Andrew and Torterra win!" With a cheer Andrew ran over and embraced his starter and showered him in praise. The grass type responded by happily nuzzling his trainer's chest, earning a laugh from the human.

"That was some fancy stuff you just did there sonny," said Clay as he stuck out his hand, "I can see why you're Champion." "You weren't too bad yourself old-timer," grinned Andrew.

"Hey! Who ya callin' old?" said Clay. Seconds later after staring at each other the two burst out laughing, "You take care sonny, and take care of Elesa and Roxie." As if on cue the two girls walked up and embraced their boyfriend, "He's doing that and so much more," they chorused as they kissed his cheeks.

As he walked outside he was tackled by Lyra. "That was so cool Andrew! I didn't think I'd have so much fun watching you battle!" she squealed.

"Oh it's nothing Lyra. Glad you enjoyed it though." smiled Andrew, earning a blush from the Johto girl. Suddenly Dawn walked up behind him, "And it was so sweet of you to think about me." "I might have to reward you tonight," she whispered into his ear, "It was nothing Dawn," said Andrew, "and I look forward to my 'reward'" he whispered. Unknown to them, Lyra had heard their exchange and blushed heavily, and felt a bit jealous. "Why do I feel jealous? Do I like him that way? Gah I'm so confused!" "Hey Lyra," said Andrew as he put his hand on her shoulder, making her heart pound, "You alright?"

"I-I'm fine Andrew, i-it's nothing." "It's so sweet of you to be so concerned for me though. You're such a great guy. Wait WHAT!?"

"So Andrew," said Bianca, "What place is next?" "I was thinking we give Skyla a visit," said the Sinnoh native, earning a hug from Elesa, "Thank you Andrew! I've been meaning to see her for a while." "Don't sweat it Elesa, I know you two are good friends."

(Later that night)

Andrew was sitting out next to the campfire thinking, more specifically about Lyra. "She's been seeming a bit on edge recently," he said to no one, "I hope I've been able to help her move on." "Tor?" asked Torterra, who had been sitting nearby. "Oh, just thinking about Lyra buddy." He let out a sigh as he looked up in the night sky, "She didn't deserve to be hurt like that. She's a wonderful girl. She's talented, upbeat, caring, beautiful, any guy would kill to be with her."

"Y-You r-really mean that?" Andrew turned to find Lyra standing feet from him, the fire illuminating her face, which was a very deep shade of red.

The boy sighed, "I would be lying if I said no. I meant every word Lyra. You didn't deserve to be hurt in that way, not a girl as wonderful as you."

Seconds later Andrew felt Lyra tackle him. He embraced her as he heard her crying. "T-T-Thank y-you Andrew," sniffled the brunette. "You've really helped me move on from Khoury and I can't thank you enough for that."

"It's alright Lyra, it's alright," he said. Seconds later he felt something on his lips. He opened his eyes to see Lyra kissing him passionately. He went to break it, but something stopped him. "This feels... right" he thought. Shortly after Lyra broke the kiss and looked Andrew in the eye.

"A-Andrew, I h-have to tell you something. When Khoury dumped me I was in a dark place. I felt like it was my fault and I was lost, lonely, and confused. And you come out of nowhere and rescue me like some knight in shining armor. That's what you are to me Andrew Townsend, you're my knight in shining armor and my hero. I love you."

"Lyra," said Andrew softly, "Do you really feel that way?" She simply nodded, "I've thought about this ever since that night you saved me. There were times I doubted myself and questioned my feelings. But now I know, I know that I love you." said the brunette.

Lyra blushed as the Sinnoh boy ran his thumb across her cheek and closed her eyes to lean in. When their lips locked the world around them melted away. For Lyra, sparks were flying and her heart was doing backflips. She felt pure bliss and never wanted it to end. Several minutes later the need to breathe became to much and the two broke apart, panting heavily.

"Lyra, the feeling's mutual, I love you too." Lyra's heart went into overdrive, he returned her feelings. Tears of joy flooded out of her eyes as she captured the blonde's lips in another passionate kiss. They stayed there for several minutes before breaking. "C'mon Lyra, let's get some sleep," said Andrew as the two crawled into his sleeping bag, the brunette hugging him tightly.

She sighed happily as Andrew stroked her brown hair and wrapped his free hand around her. She felt safe next to him and only served to assure her that Andrew Townsend was the man she was destined to be with. "I love you... so much... Andrew," she mumbled sleepily. "I love you too Lyra, let's get some rest," whispered Andrew as he kissed her forehead and let sleep claim him.

As morning came Lyra stirred, "Why do I feel so comfortable and warm?" she wondered, her eyes were still flickering open, but wherever she was, she felt safe and comfortable and wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life wherever she was.

As she opened her eyes, a smile graced her visage as she noticed Andrew sleeping peacefully next to her, the brunette in his embrace. She smiled even more as she remembered last night. She had come to thank Andrew for all he had done for her, but it turned into something more, something magical. She had heard how he felt about her, and everything seemed to just click. It seemed so obvious now; the reason she had been feeling this way was simple, she had fallen hopelessly in love with the boy from Sandgem Town.

She laid there for a few minutes, enjoying the security and warmth she felt, until she felt Andrew begin to stir.

As Andrew opened his eyes he looked down to see Lyra's beautiful brown eyes staring back at him, a smile on her face, she looked like an angel. "Hey," whispered Lyra. "Good morning angel," he said, earning a blush from Lyra, "W-Where d-did that come from?" "Well I saw you and I thought, 'She looks like an angel'". smiled the blonde, "You're so beautiful," he said as he brushed a stray lock of hair away from her face, now being drenched in tears of joy, Khoury never thought of her like that. Yeah he thought she was pretty but something about the way Andrew said it made it mean so much more.

"Last night was wonderful," sighed Lyra happily. "It was," agreed the blonde, "Truth be told I had a gut feeling you had developed feelings for me, but I figured it was only because I helped you." "Well partially that. Also I just felt drawn to you when we traveled in Johto. Something about you made me feel something I never felt with Khoury. I don't know what it is but it makes me feel complete."

"I'm glad I'm able to make such a beautiful lady feel that way," smirked Andrew.

"Who are you talking to Andrew?" asked Leaf, who had just popped out of her tent along with Dawn. Lyra had buried herself underneath the "covers" of the sleeping bag so the other two girls didn't see her.

Lyra nervously crawled out into view, blushing furiously as she spotted Leaf and Dawn, who simply smiled.

"Had a feeling you would join us," said Leaf. "I trust you Lyra, no need to worry," added Dawn as they walked over. Suddenly a chilly morning wind came in, causing all three girls to shiver. Dawn and Leaf wiggled their way into the sleeping bag, their bodies flanking Andrew's while Lyra laid on top, which made her blush heavily. Andrew looked at his Poketch and saw it was still very early. Setting the device down he wrapped his arms around the three girls and all four drifted back to sleep.

Andrew woke up two hours later to find just him in the sleeping bag. Figuring the girls had gotten up earlier he got up and retreated into the wilderness to change.

A few minutes later he walked back into the clearing to find all of his girls crowded around a blushing Lyra, it seemed that Leaf and Dawn had told the others what had transpired between the Johto native and their lover.

"Alright girls, that's enough," laughed Andrew. "Bah," scoffed Cynthia, "You're no fun" she pouted. "Oh really? Well how's this for fun?" he asked as he pulled the buxom blonde into a searing kiss so intense her knees began to shake. A full minute later he broke the kiss, leaving Cynthia crimson-faced and panting heavily. "Now be a good girl and you'll get more later," he whispered. "Okay sweetie, I'll be looking forward to our fun," she purred as she pecked her lover's lips.

"So Andrew," asked Giselle, "Is it true Lyra's our 'sister'?" "Does this answer your question love?" asked Andrew, and like with Cynthia he pulled Lyra into a passionate kiss. At the end Lyra was also panting heavily, her face just as red as Cynthia's. "Yes, Lyra has joined our little family."

Andrew was confused as all the girl stared at him, some with tears in their eyes. "What did I say?" he asked worriedly. "Y-You said w-we were a family," said Rosa as she buried her head into her lover's chest, the other girls following suit, some lightly sobbing tears of joy. Andrew simply smiled, "Well of course we are, I love all of you and you love me. Hell we may as well be married in all but name." This brought even more tears of happiness from the girls as one by one they kissed their boyfriend lovingly. "We love you so much," said Miette, her face drenched in tears of joy.

After a few minutes the girls had calmed down and welcomed Lyra into their group. Once they had eaten and broken camp the group continued their journey towards Mistralton City.

And I'll cut it there for Chapter 31. So Lyra has joined the harem. I got at least three more girls I know I want to put in, one of them has already been hinted at. If there is one you want added in, put a comment and I'll consider it.

That's all I have to say, so I will A, B, C ya.
