Forewords: I had originally intended this writing to be in second person, this was before I read the rules and before I had the conviction to commit my inner fantasy to digital paper. Instead I propose you read this story as if it were one of your memories.

Chapter 4: Heartbeat

I woke up to bright red-yellow light filtering through my eyelids and sweet soft voices conversing to my left… I tried to open my eyes, but the intense blinding flash of light that accompanied the sight of the outside world was too much for my neglected eyes to bear… My other senses felt dulled as well like someone had placed a thick blanket over my face… I couldn't make out what was being said, and I could barely feel myself breath, let alone move even a millimeter… 'I guess I've managed to cheat death again…' I thought to myself grimly, 'I'm one lucky son-of-a-bitch that's for sure.' Minutes later, when I was finally able to open my eyes, a blurry, blobby world presented itself. I turned my head towards the now familiar sounding voices, and three gently moving shapes presented themselves to me… As my eyes began to focus I recognized the outlines of Jess, Amy, and a human girl… My ears began to function once more and I began to pick up the steady sound of the heart-rate monitor at my bedside and the tone of the human's voice… She sounded extremely familiar although… I couldn't immediately recognize her.

I groaned and shifted my body, alerting the now mostly solid figures that I was awake and their conversation halted as they shifted their attention to me. My hearing began to sharpen and Jess' loud sobbing entered my ears. I coughed, accidentally hacking something into my mouth, which I was forced to swallow once more with a grunt of disgust, "uuuuuuch… hi guys… How've you been?" I asked with a quiet raspy voice and a weak smile, trying to alleviate the mood and comfort Jess.

Amy returned my smile warmly and shook her head slowly. Jess threw herself onto my chest, leaning on me from her chair by my bedside, still sobbing quietly. I put my left hand on her head and slowly stroked her hair, comforting her as she cried into my chest… Just like she did for me that night in the woods. "You… You idiot," she said in barely a whisper between her sobs, "I… I thought that I was going to loose you…" she cried like this for a few moments before calming herself and sitting up. She returned to her usual, loveable, snarky self, "if I didn't think it would kill you, I would smack you for being so reckless."

I laughed, coughing once more as I grabbed one of the hands she had resting on my bed. "I guess that I'll have to watch out for you when I get better then, wont I?" I said, and it was her turn to laugh. I fell silent and closed my eyes as I stroked Jess' hand warmly, letting sleep take me once more as a gentle smile crossed my face.

When I woke up once more, Jess was asleep with her head on my chest, listening to the heart she feared she might never hear again. Sleep had not only rejuvenated my senses, but heightened them considerably, including that of pain, but I thanked Arceus anyways as the pain confirmed that I was alive. I looked down at Jess' sleeping face, it was tear-stained and tired, she must've been up for at least a day while I was out… I placed my hand on her back, stroking her feathers softly with my thumb, making her sigh in her sleep. While I had slept, the sun had fallen and its orange glow was being reflected off of the ocean's gentle waves visible out of my window. I slowly cooed Jess awake, stroking her face with my thumb as her gorgeous eyes fluttered open. She looked and saw that her companions had fallen asleep as well and kissed me passionately, my heightened senses sending me into a world of pleasure as her tongue slid past mine. She pulled away and pounded lightly on my chest, chastising me for my stupidity and making me laugh so hard that I woke the others up.

The color drained from my face as I recognized the human girl sitting in-between Amy and Jess. "S… SIS?!" I exclaimed as she stretched herself, yawning loudly.

"'Sup big-bro" she responded casually.

"What are you doing here? Last I heard you had already boarded the plane with Mom and Dad." I asked with a confused tone.

"I'm here to make sure your sorry ass didn't die. I don't know what happened, nor do I want to at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find out… Oh by the way, you were right, I did board the plane. I had to borrow your godly Altaria to get here, I didn't think you'd mind," she replied.

I nodded… If she had taken my Altaria to get here, the one that I had specifically bred to travel continents, then it would've taken her three days to get here. Presumably with one day to get the message, that put me at about four days in the hospital at the fewest… "When did you get here sis?" I asked curiously.

Sharp as ever, she saw what I was really asking and answered both questions, "I got here late last night, you've been out cold for about four and a half days bro."

"I thought so…" I said and attempted to wipe some sweat from my brow with my right hand, only to find, to my surprise, that I was handcuffed to the bed. "Ummmmmmmm, The fuck?" I asked as I shook at the cuffs.

"Oh, yeah… That… You have some serious explaining to do; but don't worry, I know my big bro wouldn't land his ass in jail unless someone tried to kill him or his Pokèmon." She said as her own little way of telling me that she had my back. She tried to connect with my mind and I winced, apparently my psychic powers hadn't returned yet, although I started to feel my psionic energy trickling back into me. "Wh… What the fuck? Y… YOU CAN UNDERSTAND POKÈSPEAK?!" She yelled, instantly connecting my lack of telepathy to my understanding of my Pokèmon.

"Oh, yeah… That…" I said, mimicking her inflection from earlier. "Your guess is as good as mine… Running theory is that it happened when I got a permanent mental boost from a Kadabra so that I could talk to my girls without his help…"

"How in the name of Arceus did you convince a male Kadabra to translate for you?" she said with an understandable amount of disbelief.

"It was us actually," Amy said plainly, "We saw him training and were intrigued. When he fought Celest one-on-one taking her down easily we decided we wanted to join him… We brought Kadabra because we didn't think that he was psychic."

"When I captured them he stormed off, saying that I had captured the two hottest Pokèmon in a ten kilometer radius," Jess pressed her jugs together at the compliment and nuzzled my chest, "then he called me, quote, a 'half-breed captain cock block.'" I said and the jaws of all three girls dropped simultaneously, making me laugh and cough.

"P…Please tell me you didn't kill him," my sister pleaded, knowing full well how prone I was to rage at being called a half-breed in a negative way.

I sighed, "No, no I didn't… I did however threaten to castrate him with his own spoon." Jess and my sister started to laugh and Amy just smiled and shook her head.

"Woah, I just realized something," my sister said, grabbing my attention. "If you can telepathically connect with non-psychic Pokèmon on your own now, then that would mean that… YOU HAVE MORE PSIONIC POWER THEN ME!? What the hell bro? Can't you leave me anything?"

I laughed, "Well if I didn't set a good example for you, then what kind of a big brother would I be?"

Nurse Joy came into my room just as my sister was about to retaliate. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked me how I felt with a strange coldness in her voice…

"I'm fine, but… Is Bluebell ok? Please, Please tell me that she is fine, Please!" I pleaded, "I… I don't know what I'd do without her… Please… Please… Arceus please let her be ok…" I said and began to silently shed tears. Jess put her head back on my chest and ran her fingers through my hair to calm me down.

Nurse Joy, for some reason, seamed surprised to see my concern, blinking rapidly as I pleaded for good news. "Yes, your Serviper-"

"Bluebell," I said, getting angry for some reason, "Her name is Bluebell."

"Ummm… Right… Well, she is going to be just fine, she was suffering from extreme hypothermia and several minor injuries consistent with battle. If you had gotten her here any later and there wouldn't be any grantees" she continued, her voice warming slightly, yet-still harboring a strange distain for me.

"Oh thank Arceus…" I said, leaning back onto my pillows in relief.

"Well, you have some serious explaining to do," she said with a seemingly out of place smile.

"So I've been told" I said, humorously jiggling the handcuffs around my right wrist.

Jess gave a snort of laughter and Nurse Joy continued, "yes, I suppose that would make things a bit obvious… Anywho; you can start by answering me this: why the hell was your heart-rate over four-hundred? In all my years as a nurse I've never seen anything quite like it."

"I…" I started hesitantly looking at my sister, who at this point was starting guess what I did, a dumbstruck expression on her face. "I ate an Enigma Berry…" I said, cringing as my sister jumped up from her chair to yell at me.

"YOU DID WHAT! You know that you almost DIED the last time you did that, right?" she screamed at me.

"I had no choice, it was the only way I could get Bluebell here fast enough… She is so willing to just lay down her life for me… I… I decided that even if I perished in the process: I was going to save her."

Jess and Amy squirmed uncomfortably at my remark as Nurse Joy asked us to fill her in on what the big deal was about me eating an Enigma Berry, "He's allergic… sort of… It acts like a giant shot of adrenaline, sugar, caffeine, and crack all rolled into one. And all of that energy goes straight to his fucking heart if he stops moving." My sister said, both clarifying for Nurse Joy and chastising me for being so ready to throw my life away. "Which reminds me, what the hell did you give him to quiet that maelstrom of a heart of his?"

"We can talk more about that later, I still need to know what happened. All of your Pokèmon have told me that you were in the middle of the uncharted wilderness just south of here training for the upcoming tournament. But, that is all I know… Keep your explanation quick and tell me what happened that day."

"Well, because I had Holly… Houndoom, with me I knew that I would need to go somewhere where she wouldn't start a forest fire, I headed to the mountains and began training with her first, light sparring no powers. I finished, loosing to her, and I moved on to Bluebell, only to be attacked by Celest… Charizard, right after she beat me. I called back Bluebell and ran into the forest to keep the aerial attacks at a minimum. I dashed into a clearing and prepared to fight… Sis, reach into my bag and show her my fight license, I can't really reach…" Nurse Joy was shocked, she had heard of people with abilities like mine but never thought she would actually see one, let alone treat one as a patient. "After I'd beaten and captured her, I was on my way to Lake Verity to wash up and feed the girls… which reminds me, I never actually got the chance to feed them… I'll have to make it up to them somehow…" I trailed off, thinking of ways to apologize for my negligence until I was brought back to reality by an impatient throat clearing from Nurse Joy. "What?... Oh right sorry…" I said blushing, "after that, somehow Amy and Jess set one hell of a trap for me that involved several Ariados in an impressive ambush. It probably would've worked perfectly too if I didn't have any ranged attacks…" I continued noting Jess' smug smile, "I managed to use my psychic powers to subdue Jess, but Amy hit me with a sucker punch that laid me out. I woke up, expecting my pokèballs to all be smashed and, once again, have Bluebell be the only one who stayed with me… But to my surprise, Jess and Amy had just wanted to join my team and the whole ambush was some sort of test… Anyways, we spent the rest of the day training until we made camp when it was dark. Then Suicune barreled out of the forest, his reason blinded by all the pheromones. He was shouting about me interfering with his territory and breeding rights, demanding I hand over Jess and Celest who had… 'known' him previously. I obviously couldn't hand them over, and his objectification of them was starting to bother me. We argued until he called me a 'half-breed vermin'… I gave him a chance to rescind the remark; and when he didn't I threatened to…" I looked at my sister and Amy, both of whom gave me a look like 'just say it.' "I threatened to strangle him with his own ribbon and do some… explicit activities on top of his unconscious body, telling him that he had twenty-five seconds to clear out… I almost made good on my threat but his jaws were powerful and did a number on my leg as I'm sure you saw," she nodded, having noticed the bite on my calf with suspicion, "I taunted him during the fight that followed shortly after and he called me a half-breed again and my rage was obvious to him… I was bullied incessantly as a child, the word half-breed is a taboo insult to me and an ultimate compliment all in one, all depends on how it's used… He made a huge mistake and decided to taunt me, calling me half-breed for the fourth time." All of the color drained out of my sister's face, she had seen me rage out once before, after our move. I caught a group of seniors calling my sister a half-breed as they pushed her around in a circle. I beat them all within an millimeter of their pitiful lives, only stopping because my sister begged me to. "I flew off the handle into a state of rage so profound that my psychic powers got boosted to about twenty times their normal levels…"I said with a scary amount of satisfaction, "I thrashed Suicune to tears, and was… was about to take his head for my mantle when I spent the last of my rage, collapsing in a blubbering pile as Jess and Bluebell comforted me…" I said stroking Jess' head as she sighed in content.

Nurse Joy was horrified, "So, all those explosions last night were from you!"

"Yep, sorry I ummmm… I lost it there for a minute… Anyways, after I calmed down, I formally apologized to Suicune for loosing control and offered to finish our duel in a more civilized manner. He accepted and we faced each other once more, although I really didn't have the heart to fight. I attempted to end it quickly, having had my fill of battle for one week, by attacking his mind. Unfortunately, I had recently gotten a bit of a psionic power boost so when I lashed out against his mind, my energy looped back on itself, drawing out all my psychic power and dealing massive damage to both of us. He also discovered that I was very weak to flying type moves, gusting me to oblivion… He, won the duel, but didn't stop there. He decided he wouldn't let me live, charging an aurora beam and aiming it point blank at my face… From what I've been told, Jess saved me at the last second, kicking Suicune's head from the side and shifting his aurora beam just enough to miss me. The others must have joined in to help fend him off because when I woke up, they were all clustered around me protectively, Bluebell and Jess seemed to have taken the worst beating out of the group though… I went for a jog and started a campfire when I got back. Everyone made their way over slowly in the cold morning air and we talked for a while, Celest and Bluebell were the last to wake up and I asked Celest to wake her… But she wouldn't wake up… I… I then did what I had to do to save her. I froze over a strip of Lake Verity and sprinted across using extreme speed… barefoot. And then I came here…" I said, closing my eyes and leaning back.

"Well… I dare say that explains a lot… However, it seems that you are leaving quite a large detail out of your story." Nurse Joy said, confusing everyone. "We found seminal fluid in Bluebell's stomach and uterus, I dare say that your story doesn't explain that now does it." She said accusingly.

Before me, Amy, or Jess could speak, my sister interjected, "So… So what, they had sex, I don't see what the big deal is… I always knew those two had a thing for each other."

Nurse Joy nodded, closing her eyes, "Normally I would feel the same way, a handsome young man alone in the forest with his team of female Pokèmon who have known him all their lives… But the sheer amount of semen that we found is staggering, normally we see this much from a day of non-stop sex or from multiple donors… But it all matches your DNA."

"He's super fertile," Jess blurted out, "He was wrestling with Bluebell when it first happened, they kissed and things started to get steamy as years of sexual frustrations played out while me and Amy watched from the bushes…" She said with a tone of jealousy as Amy blushed. "She's not pregnant is she?" she added, sitting up, and Amy smacked her in the back of the head.

"Jealous much," my sister said, prodding at Jess.

"I just don't see why he wants to spend the rest of his life with a flat-chested serpent like Bluebell when he could have these bad-boys pressed up against his face, all… day… long…" she said, jiggling her breasts and it occurred to me that Amy and Jess had re-arranged their fur and feathers respectively to cover themselves.

"Even if he is… 'super fertile' it still doesn't-" Nurse Joy began, but was interrupted by Jess.

"UUUGGGGG, Just watch," she said and reached under my blanket, grabbing my cock.

"JESS WHAT THE FUC-" was all I managed to say before a fit of coughing took my breath away. "KNOCK IT OFF… THIS ISN'T FUNNY… JESS!"

I was still too weak to do anything more than lightly push at her. My sister and Amy, however, were keeping her off of me with some difficulty. It looked hilarious, much more like I had three girls fighting over my dick then just one. I turned to nurse Joy to apologize and saw that she was still frozen with shock.

Jess grabbed me again and I got pissed, "JESS STOP… NOW! YOU KNOW THAT I'M ENGAGED!" I said wincing at my own thoughtlessness…

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" my sister exclaimed, dropping Jess' hand long enough for her to finish what she started.

I blushed so hard that I practically turned purple… This was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life… I was just basically raped in front of my sister and Nurse Joy. Jess, on the other hand, was having the time of her life. She had at least managed to contain all of my seed in her hand and held it out for Nurse Joy, "SEE!" she said opening her palm to show a large quantity of my semen. My sister held her mouth and ran to the trashcan, throwing up what little food she had eaten since she arrived. "I told you he was a beast." I looked at Nurse Joy, and to my utter amazement, she was, as a matter of fact, slightly impressed at the quantity.

She cleared her throat and blushed, her face turning dark scarlet, "Well… Jess, was it… Right, we could've easily gotten a sample to verify your claim without your… assistance."

"Sorry babe," she said to me, wiping her hand off with a tissue. "But I've wanted to do that since the moment I met you," she said with a wink.

Amy smacked the back of her head once more, "Don't mind her… Her heat is going straight to her head," she said, scowling at Jess. Adding "Like always," with a devious smile.

Nurse Joy quickly nodded, accepting Amy's explanation, and changed the subject as hastily as possible, "You mentioned something about being engaged young man?" she said with a bit of distain.

My sister finished throwing up and looked at Jess like she was going to smack her, but my statement was on her mind as well, "Yeah bro what the fuck! Who? When? Where? NOW!"

I sighed, "Alright… alright… I wanted it to be a surprise bu-"

"Oh believe me, it was surprising," my sister said, interrupting me impatiently.

I narrowed my eyes and she closed her mouth, swallowing whatever catty remark she had cooked up, "BUT… Bluebell and I have decided to get married that day in the forest… Suicune kinda… walked in on us having sex… We were going to send out surprise invitations but I guess the Eevee is out of the bag…"

Nurse Joy started to laugh and Amy grabbed Jess' beak so she wouldn't say anything stupid… Again. "Well young man, I'm happy to say that this clears everything up," she looked to Amy skeptically for confirmation and Amy nodded. The hardness crept out of her face and she smiled at me warmly, "So how long have you two known each other?"

"Four years," I said with a dreamy smile on my face, "She is not only the descendant of my first Pokèmon, but I still remember that night two years ago when she stole my heart… I had been jumped by a group of Pokèmon who smashed my pokèballs, freeing all of my fighters. Bluebell was the only one who stayed by my side, she fought valiantly to protect me, and slept next to me that night and every night after that… I may have lost five warriors that day, but the friend I gained more than made up for it…"

"AWWWWWWW, That's so sweet" Nurse Joy and my sister said in unison, making all of us laugh.

"Soooooo… can I get these cuffs taken off me now?" I asked with as innocent a smile as I could muster.

"Sure thing handsome," she said with a wink, pulling a walkie-talkie out from behind her clipboard, "Officer Jenny, could you please meet me in room 212, we have a false alarm the two individuals involved in the investigation are lovers."

I was completely shocked; I knew that I was in deep shit, but I didn't think they had an officer waiting to arrest me. "That's a relief, he's too good looking to be another prison bitch."
I laughed and so did everyone but Nurse Joy who stood there confused, "Yeah HAHA, right… HAHAHA, Me… me a prison bitch HAHAHAHA," I stopped laughing abruptly and looked serious, "if I went to prison, I would own that place in one hour flat."

Officer Jenny walked in just as I said this and said, "Prove it!" without missing a beat.

I smiled and looked at my sister, "Should I?"
"Well she did ask, and it sounded like a challenge to me," my sister responded.

"Alright then," I said, unlocking the handcuffs with my psi. Most of my psionic energy had returned to me by this point and I stopped suppressing my power's natural aura. Whirling tendrils of psionic energy quickly filled the room, my pressure making it hard to breathe. I opened the window with my telekinesis and shot a highly compressed ball of psionic energy out of it. Once it reached a safe distance, it detonated in a massive display of irradiant power, much like a massive display of fireworks. I closed the window, sat back on my bed, re-suppressed my power, and locked my hand in the handcuffs once more. I flashed Jenny my fight license and her look of surprise faded.

"Well then you handsome son of a bitch, I guess you win." Jenny said with a wink, strutting over to unlock the handcuffs. Jess flashed her a malicious look and Jenny stuck out her tongue, sitting down next to me in a fairly provocative manner… Apparently she'd been listening in on our entire conversation and had decided to put Jess in her place.

Jess, however, decided to call Officer Jenny's bluff, giving Jenny exactly what she wanted, "Here, listen," she said as she placed Officer Jenny's head on my bare chest.

"Oh… Oh wow… It's so…" She sighed, closing her eyes. "It's so powerful." after about a minute, Nurse Joy gave a jealous grunt and reminded Officer Jenny that I was still in cuffs. "Oh right… Sorry," she said blushing as she fumbled with the keys.

I gave Jess a look of victorious vengeance as I placed my free hand on top of her fumbling ones, "Any time…" I said with a smile so warm it could melt a heart from a kilometer away.

She blushed and quickly turned her attention from my lips to her keys as Jess fumed in utter defeat. She quickly unlocked my handcuffs and was about to get up when I stopped her.

"Hey can I… Can I keep those," I asked on a whim, pointing to the handcuffs. I had no real reason to want them, I just kind of did…
"Uuuuuuh… Let me think-no." Officer Jenny said plainly.

I snatched the handcuffs out of her hand and waved them in front of her face saying, "you want to give me the handcuffs," in my best hypnotist voice.

She laughed so hard I thought she was going to fall off the bed, "You know what stud, keep 'em," she said to my surprise.

"Really?" I said looking shocked.

She sighed, "Why not, I have plenty… And besides, you made me laugh." She turned the handcuffs over exposing an 'If Found Please Return To:' label with her address and phone number and strutted out with a wink.

Jess eyed the handcuffs and blurted out with a giggle, "OH MASTER! I never knew you were so kinky." prompting another dope slap from Amy.

"Yeah… I'm gonna' ignore that one," I said sitting up and placing my feet on the floor, "ooo, a bit tender still… but, nothing I can't manage without a bit of help… would it be alright if I went to visit Bluebell?"

"I suppose, although I doubt you would take no for an answer… Who's going with?"

"I will," Jess blurted out, "I haven't seen the others in a while…" She paused, turning to Amy with a mischievous grin on her face, "Amy, I heard from sis that there is a library here, I think you should go check it out."

Amy turned to my sister and clasped her hands together, "Could we? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I've always wanted to go to a library," she gave her best attempt at puppy dog eyes and my sister agreed.

"Alright little miss smarty-pants I'll take you," my sister said teasingly, grabbing Amy's hand.

"Oh hey sis, before I forget; can you make sure Altaria gets fed?

"Yeah no worries, it was already on my list," she said with a wink.

"And although you've probably guessed already, I'm staying in Sinnoh for a while," she nodded and ran out of the room, practically dragging Amy behind her.

Nurse Joy and Jess helped me walk down the hallway on my tender feet, each taking an arm over their shoulder. "Thanks for all your help Nurse Joy," I said smiling.

"Well it's the least I can do to apologize for judging you," she responded with a bit of guilt.

"Don't feel so bad, I probably would've reacted the same way," I reassured her as we reached the door.

The room was crowded with all my girls… There was a single large bed and Bluebell was a bit to one side, but mostly in the middle. Holly lay across the foot of the bed, with Onyx, sleeping cutely as always, curled up on top of her. Celest had curled up on the floor on the far side of the bed and was breathing slowly. Jess sat me down on the bed and I slid in next to Bluebell, who turned in her slumber and licked my head, cuddling up closer as I slipped my arm under her, much to the surprise of Nurse Joy.

"That's the first activity we've seen out of her since she ate and drank yesterday, but even then she was barely conscious," Nurse Joy said in disbelief.

"I've slept next to her for almost two years now and she always does that… Even in her sleep… I guess that it just proves she's ok… Just… Just tired," I said with a yawn as Jess crawled in next to me, laying her head on my chest while she slipped under the covers, the fatigue was visible in her eyes as I stroked her hair. I turned to Nurse Joy, but she was already silently closing the door with an affectionate smile.

I took a deep breath in and looked at the setting sun out of the window. It's rays reflecting off the ocean's surface sending shimmering patterns dancing across the far wall of my room… I smiled and silently closed the curtains, blanketing the room in darkness as I closed my eyes and laid my head back on to the pillows. 'Everything is perfect… I… I wish I could just… stay here and hold her like this… forever…' I thought to myself contently as I allowed the sweet embrace of sleep to once more caress my mind, sending me adrift in a sea of dreams and fantasies.
