''Meloetta'' speech
'Meloetta' thoughts
At the foot of Mt. Moon, a certain raven haired boy was pumping himself up for the cave ahead. After he'd won an Eevee, thanks to his Meloetta's incredible dance performance last day, the young trainer had decided to rest for the night, before continuing his journey straight towards Cerulean city.
''This is it guys, only one obstacle remains in our path before we can challenge the Cerulean gym and receive our second badge,'' Ash spoke jovially.
''Meloetta mel,'' the small legendary happily agreed, nuzzling close to Ash.
Last night had been simply incredible for her. While it satisfied Meloetta tremendously to win Ash's first badge for him, and also a dance competition afterwards, nothing could've prepared her for the private after show she'd performed for her trainer.
Basically, she'd danced her heart out for the boy, pouring everything that she had in her graceful moves; a performance of an angel that nobody could ever hope to match.
The surprise on Ash's face that Meloetta could change forms at will with a pretty devastating attack, namely Relic Song, still was evident through the breathtaking performance she'd given him.
It had made her burst out in giggles; Ash's silly face another reason why she liked the young trainer very much.
At one point, she'd even given him a lap dance, although Ash had no idea what she was trying to achieve exactly, Meloetta knew that he found it a surprisingly pleasant experience nonetheless; courtesy of the fiery blush on his cheeks and look of amazement in his eyes.
It probably helped she was teasingly kissing him every so often as well, her lips barely brushing his own, before she moved back and seductively winked at him.
Ash's shy reaction to it all was the most adorable thing she'd ever seen.
Finally, she had finished her dance with a proper kiss; one that she had longed for. It had felt like she had been teasing herself just as much with holding back her eagerness to show the boy her affections.
Not any longer.
His lips were like a sweet melody to Meloetta; a better song could not have existed in her mind. He was all the instrumental she'd ever need and that much more.
The evening was concluded on a more serious note. Ash had explained to his new team member, Eevee, what his plan of action was.
''So, Meloetta, Pikachu and I have decided on your evolution, and I think you're very much going to like it,'' Ash had tittered in excitement.
''Vee?''
''Well, I didn't know this either, but Meloetta told me there's this very special evolution that is mostly only seen in the Kalos region.''
Eevee tilted her head.
The raven haired trainer continued. ''You'll become a cute Sylveon, a fairy type which will cover Meloetta's dark weakness completely. Also, I think they're straight up adorable, wouldn't you agree?''
Ash showed Eevee a picture.
Needless to say, her eyes literally began to shine and sparkle. A look of pure happiness was on her muzzle, and she began to hop up and down in absolute joy.
''I'll take that as a yes,'' Ash had laughed.
So, with Eevee's consent, the trainer had happily set out to Mt. Moon, content in training her alongside his Pikachu.
''What do you guys think? This seems like a pretty challenging place,'' Ash commented.
''Pika pika''
''Vee Eevee.''
''Oh?'' Ash responded. ''So you guys think this'll be a piece of cake, huh?''
They both nodded their heads in assurance.
''Well, let's test that theory then. A bottle of ketchup for you, Pikachu, and some Pokebeans for Eevee if you indeed manage to get me through this cave without any trouble.''
Ash looked at Meloetta for confirmation. She nodded her head sweetly, and gave him a peck on the lips for a job well done. Being a trainer also meant coming up with good strategies, and rewarding his pokemon for their effort was a good way to build motivation and affection; something Ash had thought up himself.
Evolving Eevee into Sylveon had deluded Ash last evening. But with some guidance from Meloetta, he finally understood how to approach the situation; raise her affection, while she also knew a fairy attack.
Buying Pokebeans was a smart move in that case.
Both Pikachu and Eevee were ready, and with their heads held high, they entered Mt. Moon, followed closely by Ash and Meloetta.
Mt. Moon was large, to say the least, but Pikachu and Eevee surprisingly had little trouble against the wild Pokemon, despite the type disadvantage. They covered each other's weaknesses perfectly, a hidden synergy which was instantly unlocked once they entered battle.
Incoming Geodude were distracted by Eevee, who used Baby-doll eyes to lower their attack, while Pikachu used his speed to slowly chip away at the rock and ground types.
Having an Eevee, who was specifically bred for battle, also helped. Her attacking power despite her age was amazing, and Ash was very much pleased with the result, even though they had only just entered the cave.
Having Meloetta as back-up ensured that Pikachu and Eevee could go all out, and after an hour, both pokemon were at the end of their stamina.
''Great job, guys. I'm proud of you,'' Ash praised his hard working pokemon.
''Now I know that I said that you'll get your rewards after we're out of Mt. Moon, but your incredible effort has changed my mind.''
Both pokemon were pleasantly surprised, and thanked Ash profusely before the group decided to take a break to replenish some energy.
''Well?'' Pikachu chirped to Eevee, ''Didn't I tell you Ash was amazing?''
''He is,'' the young pokemon replied back, happily munching on a Pokebean.
''Now I understand why Aunt Melly likes him so much.''
Meloetta smiled, a small blush forming on her cheeks while Pikachu snickered.
''Yeah, Aunt Melly likes Ash a lot. That's why she's constantly clinging to him like a Komala,'' Pikachu quipped.
The small legendary puffed up her cheeks, Pikachu's smug smile able to cut diamonds.
''Really?''
''Yep, sweetie,'' Pikachu went on, ''if you like somebody a lot, you want to show it to that person with hugs and kisses. Now Aunt Melly is a little bit sappy, meaning she's more prone to cheesy behavior like that. Your Uncle Pika though, doesn't have this problem,'' he stated proudly.
Eevee ate his words like breakfast, her innocence far greater than her rational thinking; like a little sponge she absorbed every last bit of information.
''So I need to kiss Ash too?'' she wondered out loud. ''Because I like Ash a lot as well!''
Pikachu sweat dropped.
''Eh...'' he muttered, looking desperately at Meloetta for help.
''No, honey,'' she answered sweetly, ''that's only something mature and adult Pokemon would do. Unlike Uncle Pika, he doesn't count.''
She grinned at the grumbling rodent.
''If you really want show how much you care for Ash, you can do so by nuzzling his cheek. It's a great sign of affection.''
Eevee nodded her head enthusiastically at Meloetta's reply.
''Okay,'' she squeaked.
Turning to face Ash, tail wagging cutely behind her rump, she suddenly leaped into the surprised arms of the young trainer.
''I really like you, Ash, will you be my daddy?''
She nuzzled her cheek against his in the most adorable way, her soft fur tickling Ash's skin who began to giggle.
''Eevee, what are you doing?'' he laughed, holding his fox Pokemon in a tight hug. He certainly didn't mind the affection, but what spurred it on was still a mystery to Ash.
''Oh, honey,'' Meloetta whispered emotionally, unable to believe the words Eevee had spoken. ''Of course Ash will be your daddy. He already is.''
Eevee's eyes sparkled once more, a happy squeak escaping her throat.
''Really?''
''He is, pipsqueak,'' Pikachu added, giving her a wink. ''He'll make a beautiful Sylveon out of you yet. Just you wait.''
''I'm so happy. This is the best day ever,'' she cheered, continuing to nuzzle Ash lovingly.
Meloetta could only smile at the sweet scene.
'You're so amazing, Ash. Please, don't ever stop being yourself. Continue to make this world a better place, chosen one,' she thought warmly.
'I love you.'
Once the group was done resting, they moved further into the cave, before a shout for help broke the peace and quiet.
''Somebody is in trouble,'' Ash stated, running towards the sound to help whoever was being attacked. Sure enough, a young scientist in a lab coat was surrounded by a big flock of Zubat.
''Hang on,'' Ash called out. ''Pikachu, Thundershock. Eevee, use Quick Attack, let's go!''
Both pokemon complied, taking out Zubat in quick succession left and right. While most Zubat fainted in one hit, thanks to the super effective attack from Pikachu, any who didn't were quickly scooped up by Eevee, once again showing their synergy in battle.
The remaining wild Zubat were driven off, leaving a flustered scientist behind.
''Oh, thank you so much, young man,'' he replied appreciatively once he realised he wasn't in danger anymore, bowing deeply and thanking Ash over and over again.
''I was suddenly attacked by these wild Zubat when I was studying the mysterious moonstone. Thanks to you though, my research is saved. I can't thank you enough!''
Ash rubbed his head sheepishly. ''It was no trouble, really. My pokemon did all the work, so it should be them who you should be thanking, not me.''
''Oh, but of course! Thank you as well,'' the scientist stated to Pikachu and Eevee, though they appeared very blurry to him.
''I seem to have lost my glasses though.''
Luckily, Meloetta was kind enough to return them to the scientist, and once he could see clearly again, he gasped rather loudly.
''You have a Meloetta!'' he stated in pure awe and wonder, looking at the legendary from every angle.
''Yeah, she cheered me up when I was feeling down, kinda stuck with me, and has been my partner ever since. I'm surprised you recognised her species immediately though.''
''But of course. I study rare forces, like the moonstone for example. But Meloetta's ability to transform into a different form at will has always compelled me. To finally see one in real life,'' he muttered.
Meloetta awkwardly backed off from the scientist, until she was savely behind Ash.
''Ah, where are my manners? My name's Seymour. It's a pleasure to meet you, young man,'' Seymour introduced kindly.
''It's nice to meet you too. My name's Ash and I want to be the best pokemon trainer in the world!''
''Is that so? That's quite the honorable goal you've got there. Tell you what, since you've helped me out so much, let me show you my gratitude.''
Seymour reached inside his pocket, and held out a grey stone in his palm. ''This is a moonstone, but since I have multiple, I want you to have this. It's said to evolve certain species of pokemon.''
Ash took the item with grace, thanking Seymour profusely.
''Don't mention it, Ash. It's the least I can do. I hope you'll put it to good use!''
Seymour bid the raven haired trainer farewell, leaving Ash alone with his pokemon again.
''Mel...''
Ash began to laugh. ''You really didn't like that guy, huh?''
Meloetta shook her head, a shiver traveling down her spine.
''Oh come, he wasn't that bad. Now you're just exaggerating.''
Meloetta pouted, which soon turned into a girlish squeal and a lot of giggles as Ash began to tickle her.
''There we go,'' he laughed as he relentlessly kept his assault going, ''that face is a lot prettier on you.''
''Mel mel,'' she murmured cutely after Ash had stopped.
Her face inched slowly closer to her trainer, until she passionately captured his lips with her own.
Ash really began to love the close contact he had with Meloetta. The small legendary made him feel so happy, like not even Gary could sour his mood. Her lips were soft and sweet, like cherries, and her melodic moans of happiness simply captivating.
He never wanted it to end.
Sadly, it did end for Ash, but the warmth remained, especially when Meloetta hugged him close.
''All right, I think we're all set to get going again. What do you say, guys?''
A series of happy cries was his answer.
Did you guys like it, love it, hate it? Reviewing really motivates me :) I'll try my best to update as quick as I can. For now, have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year :D Until next time.
