Yay. Another chapter for the story!
Nothing much else to say since I have nothing to rant about, yet.
Ill be starting the new story once I finally decide a name for it.
Akuma's POV
"Are you sure it's okay for us to be out in public?" Kandi questioned, "I mean, we're morphs, people are going to attack us."
I gave my girlfriend a smile while shaking my head before saying "We'll be fine. I'm having Trip teleport us to a region where we're accepted."
Kandi sighed and just wrapped her arms around my torso while beginning to rub her face into the fur on my chest "I know... I'm just, well, worried. There's always going to be people that'll try to do something to us no matter where we go. Just look at me and Cerulean, we became morphs to be sold off as sex slaves or something. We're only here because of Trip."
"Hey, it worked out atleast. If that never happened, we'd of never met or gotten together." I replied, putting an arm under her shoulder, and the other under her butt. I quickly picked her up and put her behind me. Once she noticed what I was doing, she wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. "Let's go now, Trip is waiting because he got tickets to a baseball game."
I felt her muscles tighten slightly, signaling she had began smiling. I quickly made my way to the awaiting Alakazam morph, who was chucking rocks at trees.
I cleared my throat to get Trip's attention. He turned around and said "Took you guys long enough, let's get going."

Kandi and I walked, hand in hand down the busy street. Nobody payed too much attention to us. "See? Nobody cares that we are morphs. Only think that bothers me is that they keep staring at you since you're in your dress."
My girlfriend giggled slightly and responded "Sorry. I just really wanted to wear it today."
I looked around the street, noticing all the stands containing a huge variety of different items ranging from Berries, Pokeballs, and potions, go toys, machines, and entertainment gear. "Babe, we have a few hours until the event starts, let's look around. This play has some cool ass shit."
"Agreed."
Kandi and I looked around, eventually finding a shop that piqued her interest. She lead me over to the small booth, which seemed to have multiple shirts hanging up with air brushed designs covering them. "Wow..." Kandi gawked. "I never knew that people are so good with the things. It's like spray paint, but at the same time, it's not."
Laughing, I replied "They're air brushes. It's sorta like a spray paint, but are mainly used for painting on vehicles, clothing, ect. Y'know, you act like a human so much, that I actually forget you were once a Pokémon. Your parents and sister are lucky as all hell to have you related."
The Flareon morph chuckled as she looked through all the designs that the shop did. "Pick one, I got the money to pay for it for ya." I said, taking twenty dollars from my pocket.
While Kandi went through the many designs, she began to say "You're dating a Pokémon while you are indeed a human... I guess that you would of dated a Pokémon while human, huh Akuma?"
I scratched the back of my head in confusion. "Um, I don't think so. I wouldn't be able to understand what you're saying unless I was a morph like now."
A slight smirk appeared on my girlfriend's face as she added "So if you were a morph and I was still a Pokémon, you'd still date me."
"Kandi," I said, "Where are you going with this because Serin was also a human and he's dating your sister."
She just shrugged and replied "No clue."
I smiled and just shook my head when Kandi said "Wow... These designs are amazing..."
I looked over her shoulder to see the symbols of the Secret Ops branches, Team Instinct, Mystic, and Valor. "Which of the three do you want?"
"The one with the Moltres on it looks the best of the three, then Zapdos, and finally Articuno."
"So you prefer Team Valor over Instinct and Mystic? Good choice. Me and Serin were trying to get into that team while we were still human. Now we're just stealth operatives." I said while giving the designer the money.
"So what design does your fine lady want, Sir?" The guy asked while grabbing his colours and a simple white shirt.
"The Team Valor design it's what she chose." I replied with a smile.
"Ah, military girl?"
I shook my head. "I'm in the military, she isn't."
"This isn't going to take too long so guys could just give me your number so I can call you when it's done, or just stay here." The guy said as he started getting to work on the shirt.
"Babe, want to stay and watch him, or go look around and he'll call me when it's finished?"
"Let's stay, I know that you are dying out there in the heat due to the black fur."
I chuckled, slightly embarrassed since I knew that Kandi could easily withstand the heat. The two of us took a seat nearby the designer, watching him as he works. Using multiple types of tape and stencils, the decal slowly started to generate upon the shirt. Working on the crest, he asked "So how do you two become morphs?"
I took a glance at Kandi, who was shifting uncomfortably in her seat, so I spoke up. "I almost died in a battle in the Orre Region. Blew off my right arm and leg." I showed the man my leg and arm before continuing, "when I enlisted into the military, you had a choice of a secret serum, Morphism, or not. I obviously chose to use it. Anyways, I'm only alive because of the virus. Kandi, well, she doesn't like to talk about it." I put my arms around the teary Flareon Morph while I continued my story. "She was actually a Pokémon before morphing. Her and her sisters were shot by by some tranq darts filled with the virus. The we're going to take them and sell them as sex slaves, but our friend Trip, who took us here, found the four. He took care of the hunters then took in the two, teaching them everything they needed to know as a human."
"Must of been harsh for the both of you. If you guys could, would you go back to your old lives?" The man said.
Both me and Kandi shook are heads in response. "My life was shit before I became a morph. My buddy Serin was my only friend, I was going to end up homeless or dead after the war finished, and had zero love life."
"My life wasn't too bad before becoming a morph. I just wouldn't go back because I'd have to find a mate as us Pokémon call it and I wouldn't of met Akuma." Kandi smiled.
"Yeah, I guess you guy's relationship wouldnt work out if you met as Pokémon and Human."
"Actually, we would of never met at all." I pointed out. "I was put in the middle of a forest once injected with the virus since it was only a tiny chance that I would survive. Luckily I did. After awaking and finding a place to stay the night, I found a hurt and unconscious Flareon Morph who happened to be Kandi. Once I bandaged her all up, I saved some of a Rattata I had killed for her to eat in the morning."
The man chuckled a bit. "Found her in a bit of a survival case, eh?"
Nodding slightly, I replied "Mainly for me. I thought I was in the middle of a forest with nowhere to stay and no civilization nearby so I was astonished to see another morph within a few hours of waking up again."
"Ya know, I'm happy for you two. Many people wouldn't say that do to being racist to morphs, but I actually am sincerely happy for you guys."
I gave the man a slight smile, "We aren't sure when it's happening, but two major occurances are happening to us next summer. Kandi here will be giving birth then a month later, our wedding."
"Your shirt is done and also, I'll let you have it for free since you're getting married soon." The man said as he lifted up the final product.
"Appreciate it, we'll visit again next time Trip will actually teleport us." I responded, doing a two finger salute.
As Kandi and I left the stand, I put my arm around her waist and said "And you were expecting us to be unconditionally hated when I said we're going to."
Kandi scooted closed to me so I kissed her on the the cheek and said "I know you were about to apologize, that's my way of saying no need to." My girlfriend laid her head on my shoulder so let mine rest on her head. Remembering what we still needed to do, I whispered "Let's get going. The event starts in forty-five minutes and I know that we're going to need something to muffle the sound because those trucks and their ten thousand horsepower are loud as fuck."
She nodded and started to walk at a faster pace, but slow enough to where she was still resting on my shoulder."
After ten minutes of walking, the stadium could be seen, towering over the smaller buildings. "I'm amazed that nobody else is talking about how you can hear the damn vehicles from here." Kandi muttered.
I let out a small chuckle before replying. "Better hearing as morphs, remember? Well, for me. Your hearing is greater than humans still, but you had better hearing a Pokémon since it was more of a, you know, survival thing."
"Yeah, I guess. Now hurry up slowpoke, race you there!" Was all Kandi replied before beginning to dash towards the now insight stadium. I smirked and began chasing after her.
Quickly catching up to Kandi, I went in front of her and turned around, beginning to rub backwards. After seeing her unimpressed face from my extra speed and stamina, I used Psychic on myself to begin floating, just to continue the slight teasing. Kandi just groaned at me for toying with her and slowed her pace down to a walk. Before releasing myself from Psychic, I looked around to see a crowd watching the two us, mainly parents and their kids who were gawking at the me levitating. I landed and grabbed Kandi's hand, pulling her slightly to remove all attention from us.
Once we were at the entrance of the building, I let go of it and said "Sorry about that. Didn't think teasing you with Psyhic would attract that much attention."
Kandi just smiled in return and moved in front of me tugged at my arms, signaling for me to hold her. Completing her wish, I moved my arms under hers and had my hands connect right above her belly button. Me being a head taller than the gorgeous Flareon, I also put my head on top of her in a protective matter.
We stayed like that until the entrance cleared up a small bit and made our way inside. I flashed the quick pass to one of the employees, allowing us to skip the lines and go to the food stands and souvenir shops. "Want anything to eat or to have something from here?"
Kandi looked around and smelt the air for a second before replying "I'm fine. Probably going to be lots of dust in the air from the dirt they're driving on so the food and whatever we buy will be dirty"
"And the Team Valor shirt?"
Kandi blushed in embarrassment before saying "I forgot about that... What are we going to do about it?"
"Put it on over your dress then you can wear my hoodie." I replied, taking off my completely black jacket off. Once Kandi had put the shirt on, I gave her the jacket, which she quickly put on. While she was putting the jacket on, a thought popped into my head. "Fuck, Kandi, hold my seat please. I gotta go get the headsets... Actually, I know an easier way to do this." I pulled the money to pay out of my wallet and used Psychic to pick the money up. I weaved around the many obsticals, including people who were giving the floating money odd looks. Eventually, I found the stand that sold them and set the cash in front of them. In exchange, I grabbed the two sets of headphones and continued to bob and weave throughout the multiple confused people and down to our seats. One pair dropped on Kandi's lap while I left the other suspended. I snapped the connection, letting the pair to drop into my lap.
"Damn... Forgot the side effects of using Psychic for long range." I mumbled, grabbing my head.
Kandi chucked and put her forehead up to mine, heating my head up to get rid of the headache. Once the pain left my head, she pulled away from me and sat back down.
I put my arm around Kand I, bringing her closer to me. "And that, is one of the millions of reasons I love you."
The two of us stayed comfortably together, eventually moving the arm rest between us up so we could cuddle together. After waiting for around half an hour, the lights in the stadium began to dim, then eventually turn off. While many gasped, I felt Kandi's body begin to heat up, meaning she was going to use fire to help her vision. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek and whispered "No need, just wait."
She gave out a sigh, but I felt her temperature drop from hot to warm meaning she had stopped the flame dwelling in her body.
After a few seconds of darkness, some red lights slowly started to spawn in new areas and run wild in the darkness. All the began to grow as the announcer began to speak, followed along with with the sound of rumbling engines. Kandi and I put the headsets on, muffling all sounds. Once the announcer finished whatever the hell he was speaking about, the trucks stared to leave their pits one by one, each truck producing more and more sound. I saw Kandi begin to cringe, I put more pressure on her headsets, lowering the sound even more. When I noticed her cringing stop, I smiled and kept the pressure on, keeping the sound low. Using Psychic, I told her "Don't worry baby, I'll protect you from the sound." My message left a cooling smile on her face.
Once all the trucks were out on the field, they parked on the crush cars, dirt piles, or just the ground below them. The announcer then again, started to blabber on more about everything that was going to happen in today's event. Once he finally shut his trap again, the trucks started their engines again to return to the pits where it once again went silent. I removed one of the headset parts from Kandi's ear and and said "This'll be one hell of a night."
Took me long enough to write and finish this. I finally got into the mood to write this chapter.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned for the next chapter, which all you people who read this story, probably know what's coming up.
