Sorry about not updating for a while but I was knocked out by a bad case of the flu and was unable to write for a couple weeks.

Chapter 11: The snowy encounter

"Terry~" A sing song voice cut through Terry's dream drawing his conscious into wakefulness as he felt a warm weight resting on his hips pushing him into the soft comfort of the warm bed below him. Opening his eyes he found Karis looking down on him while sitting on top of him.

"Karis? What are you doing?" He was mildly confused but not unhappy at being woken up this way.

"I came to wake you up. What else does it look like?" She leaned in and nuzzled his neck.

"Where are the others?" Terry asked while running his hands up her sides.

"Emy took Calisto to the heated pool so she could do some laps," Sealing his lips as she answered him.

"What about Luna…?" Terry asked more than a bit breathless when she pulled away.

"Sleeping in as usual." She started to unbutton his night shirt, while his hands drifted down to her hips.

"And May? What about her and-" she placed a finger over his lips silencing him.

"Are you really thinking about everyone else besides me?" A frown creased her lovely features. He licked the end of her finger sucking it into his mouth as he pressed his hips into hers, causing a seductive smile to stretch across her face. "Good boy."

Withdrawing her hand she resumed unbuttoning his shirt as his hands lifted up the hem of her dress to her waist. She pulled open his shirt and leaned in to lock lips with him again playfully entwining their tongues. Leaving one hand at her hips he reached up and ran a finger along the edge of her scythe causing an ecstatic shiver run through her. As he played with the edge and tip of her scythe Terry trailed licks and kisses down her neck and into her breasts while untying the straps of her dress letting them fall over her shoulders. Without letting go of her scythe he cupped her left breast with his free hand gently running his hand around the underside intentionally avoiding her nipple while softly nipping and licking around the swell of her other breast.

She moaned in impatience grinding her hips into him, while she held his head pressing him into her breasts. He pinched her nipple with his lips and flicked his tongue over it, while continuing to concentrate on playing with her scythe. Breaking away from him she stood up and got down from the bed making a exhibition of each action, she slipped her dress over her head and as she hooked her thumbs into the waist of her panties she stopped. Tilting her head toward the door of Terry's small room a wolfish smile spread across her face.

"What is-" Terry started to ask but was silenced by Karis putting a finger to her lips motioning for him to be quite and stay there. She approached the door quietly and opened it swiftly.

"Well what do we have here?" a note of mischievousness colored her voice, Terry could easily imagine the wicked smile on her face. Craning his neck Terry saw Luna kneeling in the door way with her face flushed.

"Luna?" As Terry stood up and left the bed Karis pulled her in to the room closing the door behind them. Still astonished Terry asked, "What were you doing out there?"

"W-well Edna said to go wake you up… A-andthedoorwasopena-and… ermm," clearly flustered at being caught she stopped herself mid-sentence as she looked down and added, "Well… I didn't think it was okay to interrupt you."

"Is something wrong?" Terry asked when Luna stayed silent for a span of time not looking up as she chewed on her bottom lip.

"Well…" she fell silent debating whether or not to say something. Finally looking up again she said, "It just seems like… you haven't paid too much attention to me… lately. But I know that Calisto needs your attention because she is sick, so… I'm okay."

Hearing that and seeing the look on her face Terry felt a pull in his heart.

"You're so cruel Terry." Karis wore a wicked smile on her as she wrapped her arms around Luna, "You've been ignoring such a sweet 'girl like her, that's just so mean."

"N-no I didn't mean to, I just-" Terry was interrupted by Karis holding up her hand and wagging a finger at him.

"You shouldn't make excuses, you need to just apologize." She interrupted him again as he started to speak, "Not with words but with actions."

"Luna, come over here." Getting her meaning Terry beckoned Luna over to where he sat on the edge of the bed. Timidly she extracted herself from Karis's arms and walked to stand right in front of Terry; from there he pulled her into his lap and whispered an apology to her. Placing a hand on her cheek he pulled her into a kiss, as his tongue chased hers he lightly placed a hand on her meager chest while his other hand dropped down to her fully rounded hips. As he massaged her chest he could feel her nipple harden under the palm of his hand through her dress, without breaking their kiss Terry moved his hand from her chest to the zipper on her back pulled on it. Feeling her dress loosen she quickly broke away and caught it before her chest came into view. Turning around Luna found herself facing Karis who had discarded her last scrap of clothing. Dropping down and pressing herself against the carpet to hide the source of her insecurity Luna raised her hips and silently beckoned Terry over to her.

Karis dropped down next to Luna and lightly trailed her hand down Luna's spine to her hips. She continued to trail her hand down her hip and to her leg before coming up her inner thigh carefully avoiding Luna's pussy causing her to twitch her hips. Karis ran a finger up and against her slit over Luna's clothing drawing a sharp gasp from her. While wearing a wolfish smile she looked over to an enrapt Terry as she hooked her thumbs into Luna's waistband and slowly pulled off her pants teasing both Luna and her audience of one. After stripping Luna of her pants and panties leaving her in only the top of her dress Karis ran a finger over Luna's lower lips before entering her with a finger.

"You can come over here now, master." Looking over at Terry Karis purred in a seductive tone, while she made Luna twitch and moan. Terry again briefly wonders who is the dominant one before pushing such a minor thought away, and kneels down behind Luna running a tongue along her soaked petals. He spent some time memorizing her honeyed taste, before she begged him teary eyes. As he positioned himself Karis reached over and guided him in, as she concentrated on him and Luna Terry ran a hand along the inside of her thigh and rolled her clit with his thumb as his fingers teased her entrance. Karis moaned as she leaned into Terry seizing the opportunity Terry gripped her scythe between his lips making her shiver. Terry started to move his hips roughly when Luna squeezed him impatiently; keeping his hand in between Karis's legs as he thrust his hips into Luna's. Terry released Karis's scythe as he reached below Luna and played with her clit in tandem with his other hand. Luna began to squirm and moan as she felt an orgasm building up. Luna cried out in her climax as she reared up into Terry's arms as Terry felt his own orgasm run through him.

A light enveloped her as Terry felt her body start to change in his arms. When the light dissipated Luna sat there in a daze as a stunned Terry and Karis took in her new look. Luna gained a couple inches in height putting her just above five feet even. Her bust increased a couple sizes yet when put together with hips as well she still seemed bottom heavy. The greatest change was in the flower on top of her head. It had grown long enough that it completely covers her hair roots; a liquid sheen coated the petals close to the inside of her flower. When she shifted a pleasant smell of roses filled the room.

"Luna are you okay?" Terry asked when the look on her face came into his view. Despite the almost blissful smile on her face she had the appearance that she was about to cry.

"I'm fine." Her voice was colored with a dazed tone from the fog of ecstasy clouding her mind.

"What are you three doing?!" A loud angry voice sounded from the door way scaring all three of the half to death. When they turned to the doorway the three of them encountered a rather angry Edna. "Did the three of you have sex in the middle of my daycare? You do realize that a child could have walked in right? Even if it is too early for some of them to be here, there are still the Pokekits living here. You all have been here for a couple weeks already so you should know by now."

They could feel the inescapable lecture picking up steam as the three of them sat still reflecting what they did to deserve the lecture.

"And Terry," Terry perked up with a "yes ma'am" from her suddenly focusing on him. "You are their Tamer so the so the responsibility ultimately lies with you to teach and guide these two."

Their lecture continued and showed no signs of ending until the first customers came to drop off their children, but their punishment didn't end there.

Terry and Karis were in the main playroom of the daycare watching over the children and Pokekits in there, when Emy and Calisto entered.

"Calisto, why do you have to fight so hard when you expend the same amount of energy swimming?" Emy complained to her harem sister while her whole front was soaked in water. Calisto didn't answer and just looked away feeling a little guilty about troubling her. Emy stopped in her tracks when she looked inside the daycare. "What is going on?"

Inside the two of them were greeted with the sight of Terry being swarmed by Pokekits while Karis sat in the back laughing at him and drinking from a small tumbler.

"Emy, please hel- *Gahh* Let go, let go!" When Terry spotted Emy and Calisto he tried to ask them for help, but was interrupted by one of the pokekits in his arm pulling on his head band, jerking his head to the side while she giggled merrily. Oddly enough he seemed to be surrounded by mostly grass type Pokekits as they crowded his legs. Karis in the back found the noise he made just as funny as the pokekit did causing Terry to grow upset with her. "Karis don't just sit there, help me already! This partially your fault too, and are you really drinking right now?!"

"Terry, Edna did say that the responsibility ultimately lies with the Tamer. I wouldn't worry about the 'kits so much they're just excited to see a male tamer." Taking another drink from her glass she added, "And you know what they say, 'it's five o'clock somewhere.'"

"Granny Karis is an alcoholic~" One of the children playing next to her cheerfully chimed in, causing Karis to cough and choke on the burning liquid she had in her mouth.

"What did you just call me kid? Did you just call me 'granny'?" Karis leaned over glaring at the still smiling, unperturbed child. That is what made you upset? Not the alcoholic part? Terry thought to himself. She added in a huff, "I'll have you know it has barely been a decade since I reached taming age."

"So that means you are almost a Pokewoman right?" Terry asked after doing the rough estimate in his head. A dark and sharp look came over Karis's face as she walked up to Terry and pinched his cheek in a death grip, causing him to cry out. "I'm shorwy ow ow ow."

*Sigh* Emy came in between Karis and Terry making her release him. "Karis the kid didn't mean anything like that. You know that Edna has everyone call her granny so he just got use to calling all women he sees granny." Giving Terry a sharp look, "And Terry you need to know what not to say sometimes."

"Sorry." Terry rubbed his cheek while hanging his head in apology. Looking over Emy's shoulder at Calisto he asked, "So how did the laps go, Calisto?"

"It went okay…" Calisto looked away a little embarrassed about his sudden attention. Terry took a good look at the two and finally noticed the state Emy was in, her face red in exertion and the entire front and most of the back of her dress was soaked in water so that it clung to her leaving little left to imagine. She's wearing a lacy one today… Wait this is not the place to be thinking about that. Terry shook the thoughts out of his head.

"Where's Luna?" Emy asked bringing Terry back to the present. "Did she go out?"

"No, Luna is the kitchen with Edna," Terry said gesturing to the door way behind him with an elbow as he tried to dislodge the playful Pokekit in his arms from his headband. "She just evolved she keeps releasing her sweet scent and ended up exciting the 'kits too much so Edna took her to do some cooking together."

"Wait, when did Luna evolve?" Emy asked the two of them. Karis, showing some consideration of where they were, whispered the events of the previous hours to both Emy and Calisto. A look of shock crossed Emy's face while Calisto's grew red. "H-here in the Daycare…?"

"Yeah, Edna really chewed the three of us out." Karis laughed it off while Terry could feel his face burn in a mixture of shame and embarrassment.

"You definitely look like you reflected on your actions." Emy muttered as she narrowed her eyes in displeasure at the wide grin plastered on Karis's face.

"T-that's brazen…," Calisto said mostly to herself as she looked over Karis and Terry reappraising the two of them.

"Ah! Don't be influenced by the two of them Calisto!" Emy said in panic.

That kind of hurts Emy. Terry silently cried to himself.

"So now that the two of you are back," Terry started desperately wanting to change the topic. "We can head into Mauville and pick some stuff up."

"Aren't May and the others are already in town buying some groceries."

"Yeah they are but grandpa Harold needs us to pick up some light bulbs for the hallway, and he can't contact May because… well…" Terry pulled out a pokedex from his pocket, "she left her pokedex behind."

*Hahh* All of them sighed in unison.

"Besides," Terry continued, "Calisto has been good recently so I figured we could take the time to buy her reward while we were out."

"Really?" Calisto perked up at the mention of the promise she thought he had forgotten.

"Alright, let me get changed and we'll pick up Luna and then head out." Emy consented and set Calisto down on the couch Karis was sitting on earlier, before heading into the hallway leading to their rooms. As they waited for Emy to return Terry turned back to watching over the children while trying to remove the excitable Pokekit from around his neck.

"How did Emy get so wet, did she fall into the pool or something?" Karis asked as she sat down next Calisto.

"N-no she didn't." Calisto looked away.

"Then what happened?"

"When she was chasing me… I accidentally splashed her when I dived to the bottom."

"You sure do runaway a lot." Karis said causing Calisto to look down with a guilty expression. "Why do you?"

"I… I know that they're only doing this because they can't stand see someone so ugly." She didn't look up at Karis as she chewed on the end of her nails which had already become uneven battered despite Emy cutting them for her a couple days ago. "I don't know why they try so hard."

"There's a reason for it." Karis stated after taking a sip from her almost empty cup. Considering what Calisto just said Karis thought to herself. They're doing that because they care for her, and just want her to be alright. I'm probably not the one who should make her understand that, it shouldbe Terry or Emy who does.

She looked over at Calisto. After some weeks of staying at the daycare Terry had begun learning some of the Kujaku techniques from Edna and Harold, and he had been practicing them on Calisto, over the weeks Calisto's condition had been improving a little bit. Her complexion had cleared up some, and they had Harold give her some corrective dentistry to straighten her teeth.

"What are you going to have Terry buy?" Karis asked leaning in. "Personally I'd get him to some really nice jewelry or some nice clothes. You should get him to buy something expensive since this chance doesn't happen every day you know."

"I don't really want something like that, and I don't think I could ask for something expensive." Their conversation ended there with the arrival Emy and Luna.

With the five of them gathered together they set out to meet with May before she returned. Terry returned Calisto to her ball until they met up with May in the Mauville shopping mall.

"Thank you for returning my pokedex guys." May said with a sheepish smile as their group of five made their way back to the daycare after buying what they needed. Terry and May had returned everyone who couldn't handle the biting winter chill; only Emy, Karis and Soot remained out.

"No problem May, but the next time you go out be sure to remember it. That thing is very important." Terry said as he walked closer to her and began to lightly knock on her head as if to check for an echo. "You even forgot a coat, are sure you more than empty space up here."

"But the weatherman said that there was no chance of snow for the entire week." May batted away Terry's hand. A brisk wind stirred the powdery flakes around them causing May to hold her arms as she hunched down and shivered. "Ahh! T-that's c-c-cold!"

*Sigh* "Karis told you that it was going to snow, and also that was the weather report for Littleroot." Feeling he had said enough Terry added while unzipping his own coat, "Well, anyways you can take my coat."

"No its fine, I don't want to leave you without a coat. Besides I can just do this!" May jumped up and glommed onto Soot, causing the fire type to cry out in shock as May's assault shook her out of her daydream. May made a contented sound, "Ahh, so warm…"

Terry turned his attention to Emy, "Are you okay in this weather?"

"Yeah, this coat is really nice, but you know that I could have bought it myself Edna had been giving us some money for the work in the daycare. You didn't have to buy it, besides you bought Calisto's gift as well right?"

"It's okay, what she wanted was not that expensive anyway." Terry responded casually watching May and Soot as the former rubbed her cheek happily against the latter, causing Soot's face to color a bright red making her birth mark stand out.

"What did she wa-" A shout from the side interrupted Emy.

"Would you get off of me! I hate how clingy you are you ditzy idiot!" Soot shouted throwing May off of her, turning away with a scowl on her face. "Damn it, you're always doing that!"

"S-Soot…" A look of shock came over May's face. "You… hate me…?"

"Yes! I can't stand that!"

Soot felt the temperature air around her plummet. She looked behind her and saw tears start filling up May's eyes. She could feel the cold stares from everyone else causing her to shrink away fidget where she stood.

"There there, May she didn't mean that she hates you." Terry said as he walked up next to her where she stood rubbing her eyes and he put a hand on her shoulder.

"But… she just said…" Terry stopped her by shaking his head.

"You two have almost solidified a delta bond by now right? Just search that and you'll see I'm right. She was just embarrassed."

"Really?" May asked Soot who responded with a stiff nod as she continued to fidget and squirm under everyone's gazes. May searched along their bond and felt Soot's intense guilt but didn't feel any anger or hatred.

"Soot!"

"W-what?!" she was startled by Terry suddenly calling her.

"Look behind you." Terry said pointing to something a couple yards away. A Pokegirl was lying on the ground with snow starting to cover her. They all hurried over to her and picked her up out of the snow where she collapsed.

"We need to get her inside quickly." Emy said as she turned looking for a house along the route.

"My home is just over there…" The Pokegirl said weakly. "It's just over the hill."

Wasting no time they all rushed in the direction she indicated.
