I've wanted to update this a lot more recently but some things have been going on leading to depression, lack of motivation, and some other things. I wanted to do a Christmas chapter for this story but I don't think it'll be happening since this is placed in mid-summer as of current. Maybe around next Christmas, if I'm still working on this (I doubt it), I will. For now, I'll probably do a one-shot for this. I dunno.
Pokebron - Will do. I'll hit you up if I need.
ThePenguin79 - Thank you. Glad you're enjoying it man.
Siphon 117 - Yeah. I'm always accepting OCs. I'm just not sure when I'll be implimenting them in the story. If you want to send one in, message me or leave a review giving as many details of the OC as possible.
Grenade Boy - Thanks Eirik. Glad you like.
trans am king - Thanks man. Means a lot.
Fuck the Human\Pokemon Speech Barrier.

I don't know what time it was when I heard this obnoxious tune go off nor do I care. As it blared some old song from the 1920s, I simply laid in bed, arm still wrapped around Lilly, and ignored the alarm. A moment later I heard a groan escape from Windie as she stood up groggily and walked over to the alarm and nudged it off with ease.
"Come on, sleepy head. Time to get up," She said. I ignored her and tried going back to sleep. I felt Lilly wiggle her way from my grasp and I groaned lightly, kind of missing having her in my arms in a weird way. I felt the spot where Lilly was shake lightly as I assumed it was Lilly trying to wake herself up. I then felt Casey move closer to me as I turned and wrapped an arm around her.
"Come on, Karros. Time to get up. You can sleep more when we're on the road." Lilly said as she nudged my back.
"Just get up and get dressed. When we're out of town you can lay back down as I carry you," Windie said. All I did was groan in agony as I hate being woken up. "You have five second before I pull you out of bed, mister." She said. Like before, I ignored her. And before I knew it, I felt something hot and most wrap around my leg then I was pulled, quite forcefully, out of bed and onto the floor.
I laid there for a moment, trying to process what happened before I looked to Windie, "There's many more ways to wake someone up, you know.." I grumbled. She shrugged,
"Oh well, I warned you. Come on, put your shirt and shoes on and get Casey. Once out of town, you'll be on my back and you can lay your head down again if you want. We just need to get going. We have a long day ahead of us." She said.
"Yeah, fine, fine." I said as I got up and got dressed, although barely. A few times I heard Lilly giggle as she watched me struggle to even put my own shirt on.
"Not a morning person, I assume?" She giggled again. I glared at her,
"You don't know the least of it." I grumbled. Finally able to focus just enough to put my shirt on correct as well as my shoes, I stood up and saw everyone ready. Except Casey. "How come she still gets to sleep and not me?" I asked as I looked at her sleeping form.
"It takes a lot to wake her up. And some of the things it takes aren't something I'm sure you'd like to see if you're not a morning person. Just grab her and carry her for a few moments or recall her." Lilly said. I sighed and walked over to her before grabbing her and holding her like I would a small child. I heard her sigh contently as she snuggled into my chest.
"Windie will you grab that phone and slip it into my pocket for me?" I asked. She nodded and did as I asked. "Anything I'm forgetting.." I said to myself, "Whatever. If I remember then oh well. Ready? I want to go back to sleep." They both nodded and we walked out of the room.
As we walked by the Nurse Station, Nurse Joy looked at us happily and full of energy, "Hope to see you again!" I grumbled various insults that only come from a sleepy and cranky me before I felt Lilly nudge my leg, apparently hearing me before she glared at me. I rolled my eyes,
"Thanks, you too." I said to Joy as we departed the center. "Following you Windie," I said. She nodded and led us down a few streets before we came to the city limits. Just outside as a dirt path with many trees on both sides of the road. The only light were the few stars that were out at six in the morning.
"Alright sleepyhead," Windie said looking to me with a grin, "set Casey up and climb on."
"Is there a certain way you want us?" I asked, still half asleep. She shook her head,
"Not really. Whatever's most comfortable for you. Just make sure Casey is in front of you so if you're slouched over, she won't fall off." She instructed as she laid down on all fours, making it easier for me to climb up.
"Alright." I said as I sat Casey down. A moment later, I climbed on and Windie stood up.
"Just make sure you have a little grip. I'll be moving kind of fast," She said. Without saying a word, I laid my head back down onto her just above Caseys head as well as lightly gripped a small portion of her fur to keep balance. Taking that as my cue I understood, she stood back up and was about to start her light jog before she looked to Lilly.
"Hope you can keep up," Lilly said as she took off towards wherever.
"You're no challenge." Windie said as she took off, me barely able to stay on top of her.
...
"You know, you're a real grouch when you're tired." Windie said as she looked at me. It had been about two hours apparently since we left and I was finally wide awake as was Casey.
"What can I say? I don't like being woken up nor dragged onto the ground." I said. Windie and Lilly chuckled,
"She did say to get up, though." Lilly said.
"Whatever. I'm just not a morning person." I said simply.
"We can tell." Both Windie and Lilly replied. I rolled my eyes at them both. "I'm still surprised you actually fell back asleep like you did with me running full sprint like I was."
"Eh, it's whatever. I've slept in much worse scenarios. That's nothing new to me."
"Fair enough."
"So," Casey cut-in, "tell us about yourself Karros." She smiled.
"Instead of me telling you, how about you ask questions and I'll answer?" I suggested. She shrugged,
"Don't matter to me. First question, you a virgin?" Windie practically fell over herself upon hearing that causing me and Casey both having to resituate ourselves as Lilly laughed at her. I just sat there, a look on my face as if saying 'Really?'.
"Don't you think there's other things you'd rather ask first?" Windie asked as she regained herself.
"What? I'm curious!" She defended. I shook my head violently trying to figure out if she had really just asked that out of every other question in the world.
"Are you always so straight forward?" I asked.
"You've only seen the beginning of it," Lilly butt-in.
"Whatever. You better get used to it. There's a lot more worse things where we're heading." She said as she croseed her arms in a pout. I chuckled and hugged her lightly from behind,
"Calm down. I was joking. And if you must know, yes I am." I said as I answered her question.
"With a name like Karros? I doubt it," Lilly scoffed. I looked over to her,
"What's with your fascination of my name?" I asked. Shr shrugged as she jumped up onto Windie's back behind me and laid down lazily.
"It's so mysterious. Like, you always hear of people with generic names like Nick, Cindy, Sam, and things like those. Then when you hear a name like Karros that's so different, you can't help but love it." She smiled. I blushed lightly at her sort-of compliment.
"Whatever you say. It's just a name."
"To you it is Karros. To us Pokemon, a name means everything.. well to most of us." Windie said. Casey and Lilly both nodded,
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Grab on tight Karros, you too Casey. Lilly, sat in front of Karros. I'm going as fast as I can, we're behind schedule. We'll be on time if I give it my all." Windie said. We all did as instructed as Windie picked up her pace much more than before. Trees and bushes whizzed by as we all raced past them. Every so often, a wild Pokemon would jump out the way quickly to avoid being trampled by Windie.
"And to answer you question, Karros," Windie continued, "Us Pokemon are known by species as I'm you're aware. I'm an Arcanine, Kelly is a Lapras, Casey a Zangoose, and Lilly a Vaporeon. You understand that right?"
"Yeah, and?"
"Being named as a human makes us feel special and help us stick out. When we're captured or request to go along with a trainer or person, we hope to be named so we stick out and have more pride than a regular, old Pokemon. I don't know if I can speak for Casey or Lilly but, when I was captured long ago and named Windie, I felt more powerful. Maybe it's a psychological thing, maybe it's something that needs to be investigated. We just feel closer to our trainers, really."
"I see.. I guess that makes sense. I could see how it makes you feel closer to your trainer or whatever you'd consider that person to be."
"Did you ever go on a journey?" Windie asked as she huffed, trying to keep her pace up and talk with us all.
"Nope," I answered, "I hate battling. Travelling is okay I suppose, but battling isn't my thing. I don't like seeing pain being given. I also don't like the way Pokemon are ripped from families nine out ten times by a human. It's wrong in my opinion."
"Noble," Lilly said. "A typical good guy, you are, Karros. It's surprising you're a virgin." She giggled.
"Is sex something I'm going to have to expect from living in this town?" I asked nobody in particular.
"Yep." They all answered in unison.
"Great."
"You don't mind answering personal questions, do you Karros?" Lilly asked.
"What, after being asked if I'm a virgin? Pfft, never." I joked. She sighed and rolled her eyes,
"You get my point." She said. I chuckled,
"No, I don't really care. Ask me anything."
"Fine," She said, "How many girls have you dated? I'm going to assume your personality has gotten you good with the ladies," She joked.
"Actually, only three." Lilly and Casey both turned their heads towards me in shock,
"You're joking, right?" Casey asked. I chuckled nervously,
"No."
"And you're how old again?" Lilly asked.
"19. Is that bad?" I asked. They both shook their heads,
"No, it's just.. surprising." Lilly said. I wanted to ask why but I'm sure I'll find out eventually so I just left it.
"You've kissed a girl before, right?" Casey asked.
"Yeah." I answered simply.
"What about a Pokemon?" Windie asked.
"Huh, didn't think you out of these three would be interested in that, Windie," I joked.
"What? I can't be curious about a friend?" She asked.
"I was only joking. But no." I answered. Casey turned around and looked at me as if she didn't believe me.
"I'm sorry but I don't believe you. Did any of the girls you've been with have any female Pokemon?" She asked.
"Yeah, they all did. Why?" I asked curiously.
"It's pretty normal for a girl to share their mates with their Pokemon since they also have needs," Lilly answered.
"So? I said I'm a virgin so I didn't do the do with any of them." Windie literally came to a complete stop as she heard me say that.
"Did you just... say.. do the do..?" She asked. I chuckled,
"Yeah. I did. What of it?" She turned and looked at me with narrowed eyes,
"Don't ever say it like that again or so help me Arceus.." I gulped loudly at her and she grinned before taking off in a sprint again.
"But back to the point," Lilly began, "None of the girls asked you to treat their Pokemon like you were with them as well? It's pretty common, actually." I shook my head,
"Nope. None of them."
"Would you if they wanted to? Or if one of us asked for a kiss, would you?" Casey asked.
"Don't know. Maybe, maybe not." I said.
"Hope you know you will be soon," Lilly said. I looked at her,
"I will be what?"
"Kissing me. You have to for when I'm needed."
"Excuse me, I what now?" I asked confusedly. Casey and Lilly both giggled,
"Yeah, when you're with Kelly, she'll be swimming to where we need to go. Once we're there, we have to go underwater for a few minutes. Us Water-Types were taught a technique that makes it so we can cycle air to someone who needs it through kissing." She giggled. I looked at her skeptically,
"I don't believe you."
There's no way such a thing exists. That's physically impossible to do. There's absolutely no way that she's able to give me air, underwater, without some kind of filtering.
"Wanna bet me?" She asked. I grinned,
"Yeah. Sure. What's the bet?" Now she grinned,
"How open minded are you on Pokephilia?" She asked.
"I'll try it if I have to." I answered.
"Good. Bet is that if I prove you wrong, I take you to the club that I'm sure Casey has told you about and pick out your first time. Me and Casey included in that. Windie if she wants also."
"And if I'm right?"
"I don't know why you think you will be. I've done this a lot now." Lilly said.
"Don't doubt her Karros. She's not lying," Windie said.
"I'd rather be proven wrong than admit it's possible because it's not possible for that to happen. If I'm right, you have to be my slave and do anything I say for the first month of me in this place. You can't argue with any of my requests." I said with a grin.
"Deal." She said.
"Hope you're ready to wear a maid outfit," I joked.
"Well I hope you're ready to get that virginity of yours taken by some lovely ladies."
...
Woo. Foreshadowing. I'll try to post the next chapter (This is a two-parter) tomorrow night or tonight. We'll see.
