Romances of the Pokemon World

by The Imperator 2 you

The world of Pokemon is vast, and in this vast world, stories of individuals can be found and told, some are of great challenges and even greater problems. But some can be small and subtle, and others are romantic. In a world where Pokemon and Humans live together, unions can be found, but are they forbidden, or is there another word for it? Rated M, for Lemons

They say that time eventually heals all sorrows, but there are some things that cannot be healed, and one of those is the broken heart of one who has been blissfully ignorant~

*Narrator*

[In the Alola Region, on every island, there comes a time when Trial Captains need to be chosen as the older captains retire. During this rare time, special candidates present their hard work and dedication alongside their chosen Pokemon, hoping to become the next Trial Captain.]

[Before they can be called Captains, their chosen Pokemon must fulfill certain qualifications, for these will be the Pokemon that become the infamous 'Totem Pokemon', and granted special powers bestowed upon them by the Tapu Guardian Deities, who act as the final verdict for any decision. If they are successfully chosen, the 'Captain' and 'Totem Pokemon' begin their duties immediately.]

[Pokemon and Humans in Alola are very close to each other, and it's not at all odd to find a Pokemon becoming very attached to their human partners and trainers, in fact, some Pokemon go so far as to seek their human's advice for all things, down to the very food they eat, as they trust their word above all others…]

(Luna's PoV)

"Luraaaaa!" She screamed loudly, showing off her scythes and taking a very bold step toward her enemy.

Very bold indeed because her opponent was one of the rival Lurantis on Ula'ula Island, in particular near Ula'ula Meadow. In fact, this particular one was, like her, being raised to hopefully become the next Totem Pokemon for Akala Island.

"Luraaaaa!" He screamed in rage back at her, taking just as large a step to her with his scythes showed off in all their glory as well.

Normally Pokemon communicated with each other, or at least spoke to one another, instead of just verbally yelling at each other incoherently. Yet she was not interested in speaking to him anymore, he had already said what he wanted to say, and she had given him her answer. But they had gone past communicating 'normally', now they were threatening each other, or at least he was threatening 'her' while she was defending her mate's honor and right to be her mate.

It was Lurantis Mating season, and most of the Lurantis in Alola were on Akala Island, only a scarce few were on Ulu'ulu Island, most of them living with their trainers around Ulu'ulu Meadow, and the surrounding fields, grasslands, and forests around the Lake of the Moone.

The Trainers who wanted to become Trial Captains lived on Ula'ula, it was a sacred rite of passage for any hopeful trial captains, as the Lake of the Moone was considered sacred ground to Lunala, Emissary of the Moon. Those who wished to become trial captains must live alongside their Pokemon in the wild, training them, raising them, and caring for them for 'years' before they could be considered ready.

After all of that time, if the Island Deity deemed you worthy, they would appear before you and your Pokemon partner, and bestow upon them a portion of their power, the necessary spark needed to gather and contain their Z-Power without a Z-Crystal. The period usually lasted for five to six years before a new Island Captain was named, as captains rarely retired early. But Akala Island Captain Mallow was now an old woman, and her Lurantis was no longer strong enough to be the Totem Pokemon, so now over fifty trainers and their Grass Type Partners were training to become the next Captain for Lush Jungle.

Now she wasn't exactly the tallest or strongest of the Totem-hopeful Lurantis on Ula'ula island, by comparison she was one of the smallest, standing roughly four foot one. She was still way taller than any other Lurantis back home, but compared to the male in front of her, who stood nearly five foot three, she was quite 'small'.

"Luraaantiiiis!" He snarled now, using one of his scythes to slash a nearby tree down in one swipe.

"Lurantiiiiiiiiis!" She snarled back, answering his challenge with a display of her own, slicing a tree of similar size down.

They both continued to display their scythes menacingly though, trying to scare the other into submission, or in his case trying to get her to mate with him.

Naturally he had tried to propose to her, he'd had his eye on her for many years during each mating season, and while she kept rejecting him, he continued to come back to her. Except this year he had finally had enough of her quietly ignoring him and hiding away when mating season happened.

One would think that it was love that drove him, and it was true, he did love her, he's never looked for or at another female besides 'her'. Yet she continued to reject him. The reason why was simple in her eyes, but one he simply refused to accept, not because he couldn't handle it, but because couldn't understand it.

She already had a mate, she's had one the entire time, what more did he have to know? Even if they had yet to mate, even after nearly five full years, she had a mate that she was faithful to.

"Luraaaaaaa…" He growled once more, before finally taking several steps toward her, scythes angled for attack.

"Luraaaaaa!" She responded, taking a defensive stance and readying her scythes for battle as well.

Both of them were about to clash in battle, and it would have gotten very messy, if not for the sound of two voices yelling out their names.

"Roberto, stop that right now!" A young adult female yelled loudly.

"Luna, calm down this instant!" A young adult male yelled just as loudly.

Instantly both of them ceased their battle and looked to the side, where two humans were standing, each roughly five foot three next to the tree line. They both had very tanned skin, just a shade between those born in Kanto and those born in Alola. Both of these humans were also their trainers, the ones who were hoping to become the next Captain for Akala island. Their names were Tristan and Gabriella, and they were also the ones who were in charge of the most combined amount of land surrounding the Lake of the Moone.

Upon seeing their trainers both of them became less aggressive, and upon seeing Tristan, she felt a little guilty about acting so 'feral'. Still, it wasn't her fault entirely, she was just defending being mated to her mate.

"Alright you, let's go back home, I think someone's a little angst over this year's mating season." Gabriella said with a sigh of embarrassment. "Now apologize for getting upset and let's go home and eat Roberto."

Roberto the Lurantis turned to her and, with a short respectful bow, said "My apologies…", though he said it with a hint of slight despair. After that he and Gabriella turned and headed north toward their cottage in their section of the land, allotted to them by the Island Kahuna.

*I know what you're going to say, I should not have acted like that… I was trained better…* She thought knowingly as they left and Tristan walked over to her.

Sure enough, Tristan said with a sigh of disappointment, "Juliet, I trained you better, you know not to get all upset over something like that." He looked at her though and gave her a warm smile. "But at least you stood up for yourself, especially since he was bigger and probably stronger than you. So bonus points for that!"

"Hehehe…" She giggled happily, walking over and nuzzling him warmly.

With that they left, heading south toward 'their' cottage, in the southern end of the land allotted to Tristan and Luna by the Island Kahuna. The total land they were given to look over was the second largest at fifty acres, with Gabriella's being the largest at sixty-five acres. They were to use the land not only for her to train and grow, but to show that he could manage a large area of terrain, as he would be expected to take care of every square foot and know what was going on in it.

But fifteen minutes of walking down a dirt road, side by side with him, she couldn't help but let her thoughts wander over the next few nights. Mating season for her species only lasted a few days, when the eggs she carried in her body's egg chamber were at their most fertile. Once that period passed, she wouldn't be fertile again for another year.

This was her fifth mating season without mating thus far, but she wasn't very pushy, that wasn't how she was trained. No she was trained to be cautious, to take her time, to think 'before' acting. Yet as their cottage came into sight, and she slowed down ever so slightly, just enough to let Tristan go before her, she blushed so much at seeing him walking that it took all her willpower to stop herself from just jumping on him and...

She shook her head to clear her thoughts, her body was really getting out of control this week.

*I hope he mates me 'this' year…* She thought with a warm, loving smile. *I hope he does…*

Yes, it was true, her body was getting out of control during mating season, after all, if you've been mated to your mate for over five years without once being fertilized by them, 'you'd' be a more than little anxious.

Her thoughts went back to when he first proposed to her, when he first asked her to be his mate…

=Flashback 5 Years Ago=

(Luna's PoV)

She yawned tiredly as she sat in her basket in the bedroom, trying to get to sleep on one of Lunala's brightest and starriest she believed. But she just wanted to fall asleep because today had been a very tiresome day, training for nearly nine hours long with Tristan.

*We've only been here two months… and we've only been together for just under a year…* She thought, thinking about the long five to six years ahead. *I hope the Tapu Guardian picks us after all of our hard work…*

All day they'd been training, but even during their brief periods of rest between training sessions, she'd overheard him talking about something 'important'. Something that obviously meant a lot to him, or at least he really wanted to do.

*If only I understood everything he said… but I'm still only grasping a few words at a time…*

Then just as she was finally feeling herself starting to fall asleep, she heard a loud 'thump' from the living room. Quickly she was wide awake and jumped out of her basket toward the door, scythes ready for battle in case a wild Pokemon had tried to break in for food.

However, as she managed to wedge the door open, she saw that, no there was no wild Pokemon as she had thought it was, but there was someone lying on the floor with the chair knocked over. That someone just happened to be Tristan her trainer, and he was rubbing his back as he groaned in pain.

"Ugh, note to self… try practice dancing 'after' moving the chairs and table off to the side." He said as he tiredly sat up.

That caught her ears as she understood only two of words, 'practice' and 'dancing'. *Practice dancing… he's practicing dancing?* She asked herself. *But what kind of dance is it?*

As she watched he got back up and started talking to himself. "Okay… from the top, I need to learn how to dance for next week's 'Lake of the Moone's Talent Contest' I'm entering with Luna." He said, still unaware that she was watching him. "I know Luna can dance, at least I read about it somewhere that Lurantis know some form of 'dances' that they do for mating season to try and attract mates. Or was that Oricorio that know lots of dances… ugh I wish I'd paid attention to my dance lessons when I was a kid.*

Again most of what he said was gibberish to her, but the words she did know caught her completely off guard. *Dance, Lurantis, Mate… he's trying to learn the Lurantis mating dance?* She thought in amazement. *But why, he's a human, he wouldn't need to learn how to perform the Lurantis Mating Dance for a human unless…*

Then the pieces clicked together in her head, he wouldn't need to perform that dance unless he was planning to perform it for a 'Lurantis'.

*But I'm the only Lurantis around here besides that other one north of us, and that one is male!* She thought before yet again, the pieces clicked together, the obvious answer to that question.

*So… then he's trying to perform it for me… but he wouldn't perform it for me unless he… he…*

The realization hit her like Tapu Koko's Electro Ball, he was trying to 'mate' with 'her'. He didn't want to just become Trial Captain with her as his Totem Pokemon, he wanted also to make her his life mate, to fertilize her and have eggs with her. That had to be it, the Lurantis Mating Dance was only performed if the initiator of the dance was absolutely serious about their desired mate.

The idea was so… unusual… so weird… but at the same time it made her feel special. Her trainer thought of her like any other human female, and wanted to make her the equivalent of his 'wife'.

Though as she continued to watch him try and 'dance', or practice the dance, it was obvious he had no idea how the Lurantis Mating Dance went, his steps were wrong, his arm motions were weird, and his spins were nonexistent. She sighed as she realized that, like how he was teaching her about human life and human culture, especially words and understanding, she would have to teach him about Lurantis things, like how to properly propose.

"Tristan…" She said, though to him it sounded like, "Luran…"

After catching his attention, and again only getting a few words, but they were enough to confirm he was definitely trying to learn how to properly perform the Lurantis Mating Dance. Once that was done, she began showing him how to properly perform the dance, step by agonizing step. It took many hours into the night, enough for Lunala's moon to reach its halfway point, before he finally got it.

"Alright now then, let me just do it once to make sure I've got it." Tristan said after a very long time. "Watch me and make sure I'm doing it right alright Luna?"

Then he began to move into the dance motion, first taking several steps to the left, then to the right, keeping his arms bent ever slightly to mimic the way her scythes looked.

As he began the dance she became hypnotized by his motions, admiring how well he had mastered the moves, even if they weren't nearly as perfect as performed by a proper Lurantis, but it still matched it enough for her. Three minutes later he ended the dance in a pose that both offered her his 'scythes' as a mate, and asked for her scythes as 'his' mate.

There was only a brief pause before she consented, with a happy smile and warm feeling in her heart, before she too went into the Lurantis mating ritual, responding by performing the same dance. After she finished she tapped his hand, which would have been a scythe, and beckoned him to dance again with her, this time to confirm they were both mates to each other.

"Oh you want to dance as well?" He had asked, and began to repeat the dance as well.

She smiled happily and nodded in response, even if all she understood was 'dance' in what he was saying, she could tell from his actions and how much feeling he was putting into it, that he was doing his best for the dance to work, and it was all she needed to accept his feelings.

Once the dance was completed she cooed to him to get him to pick her up, after all she was only about two feet tall at this stage of her Totem Pokemon training and raising. "Thanks a lot for helping me girl!" He said warmly, picking her up and hugging her. "Now maybe I won't look like an idiot next week!"

Again, she didn't understand entirely what he was saying, all she knew though, was that she was indeed 'his girl'. *I have a mate now… I have a loving mate for my own now…* She thought warmly, enjoying the warm embrace of her human's arms.

=Flashback Ends=

She had expected that night when they went to bed, that he would mate her, even though mating season hadn't started yet, but no he simply let her sleep with him in bed. A week later they performed the mating dance yet again before a huge crowd of people, apparently as part of some 'show' to demonstrate they were working together in harmony. Though back then she assumed it was simply to show everyone that she was his mate, and performed it with as much grace and heart as they both did that night.

Even when mating season happened later on that year, he did not take her and fertilize her eggs, but again she thought nothing of it. After all, they still needed to try and become Captain and Totem Pokemon, and they can't exactly do that with a bunch of eggs to look after as well on top of their training time.

Still, as she entered their cottage and watched him beginning to prepare dinner, she couldn't help but wonder…

*What is taking him so long to mate with me… I'm ready and willing any time he wants to!* She thought with a giggle. *Oh well, I can be patient… perhaps he's waiting for the right time…*

(Tristan's PoV)

After they had dinner and spent some time checking her health, which according to him seemed normal, they began preparing for bed. "You know, Luna, we've got about a year left to get ourselves looking our best for the Island Kahuna." He said as they climbed into bed. "While I know we are definitely looking good, the one thing I'm worried about is your size. I mean… what if the Kahuna doesn't pick us because you aren't tall enough."

This was true, Trial Captain Mallow's Lurantis was nearly five foot six at its tallest. While Luna was a very skilled and very strong as well as determined Lurantis, she wasn't the tallest of the Totem Pokemon hopefuls. He never quite mastered the nutritional meals necessary to grow a Lurantis to the size that she had managed, the only one of the Trial Captain candidates that had come close thus far was Gabriel, and her Lurantis was only two inches shorter.

However, Luna was by far the most 'tactical' of the Lurantis in his eyes. She was cautious, patient, always checking the situation and thinking of a strategy when he wasn't calling the shots. She also had probably the most self-control when it came to using her strength, though like everyone else, she too was prone to being 'feral' at the most inopportune time, as evidenced by earlier that day.

"Luran!" Luna said warmly as she stood next to him.

As he looked to her he saw the gentle look in her eyes as well as a caring smile, a look she always seemed to reserve just for him. Then a second later she gained an 'evil' look and a grin, and surprised him by using her scythes to expertly knock him off his feet, onto her scythes, which she had also just expertly positioned so that they did not cause him any harm. Then she gently placed him on the bed with a warm smile again.

"You know; I could have done that myself!" He said with a hearty laugh. "I can tuck myself in without help!"

"Lurantis!" She replied instantly, lifting the blanket and lying down next to him, making sure to slip on her scythe sleeves to prevent them damaging the bed. "Luran tis tis Luran!"

After almost five full years with her, he knew what she was saying by heart, even if it all sounded the same verbally. To him she was saying, "I know!" followed by, "But you take too long!"

Ever since they finally managed to learn to understand each other, they've been able to have full-fledged conversations. Occasionally they didn't understand a word or two, but they understood each other enough that they could talk without losing the meaning of their words.

Though the one thing he never could figure out, as he pulled the blanket over them and she cuddled closer to him, wrapping one of her scythe arms over his chest to mimic a hug and pull him closer to her, was why she acted this way. True they were close, very close as expected of Totem Pokemon and Captain candidates, but that didn't explain the… care she gave 'him' specifically.

Over the years as they grew closer, learned more about each other, and together became stronger and more knowledgeable about themselves, the land, their abilities, and the world, she continued to always show this 'special' side to him and only him. They were rare times, moments that only occurred at fleeting moments in the day, but they were enough that they became a trend.

On one night he had complained bitterly about being cold during winter due to lack of firewood, partially because he had been negligent, but also because he didn't want to disturb the surrounding forest and meadow of the 'Lake of the Moone'. He had tried to cut up some dead stumps that he had found, but they were rationing the little firewood they had just to stay 'slightly' warm.

The next morning, he found Luna waking him up, covered in snow and shivering violently, but with a proud smile on her face. Outside the front door was a huge pile of chopped firewood that she had spent all night in the freezing cold preparing for them.

She had also gotten sick, but that didn't seem to matter at all to her, only him and his wish to be warm seemed to be on her mind.

On another occasion, a large group of Alola Rattata under the command of an Alolan Raticate had come into their land section, particularly the berry farm he worked to grow berries for her. They had stolen a large portion of their supply and crop before he could secure them. He was panicking all day about how they were going to make it through the coming months without the food, and was forced to replant all of his hard work.

The morning after he had replanted, as with the fire wood, he woke up to find Luna smiling at him with a proud look in her eyes, and carrying most of the stolen berries the thieves had taken. Although, she was covered top to bottom in scratches, cuts, fang marks, bleeding from all of her wounds, and with numerous splinters stuck to her.

She had lost a lot of stamina and her wounds almost became infected, but again, none of it seemed to affect her at all, only him.

Thinking of those times while looking at her smiling, falling asleep alongside him, when she had risked her life to help him, he realized how fortunate he was to have her as his Totem Pokemon partner. It also made him realize how much he had to take care of her, and if she was willing to go to such extremes to help him, he had to do the same for her.

Without her, he was nothing special on Akala Island, just another guy where they lived. Which is why, as he yawned and held her close to him, he began thinking about their future should they not be picked by the Kahuna or the Tapu Guardian.

He was a decent farmer, and he had become very knowledgeable about grass and insect Pokemon. Those skills could come in handy if he opened up a business for raising grass and insect type Pokemon, or even a tutoring service to share his knowledge to up and coming trainers of such Pokemon types. It wasn't the glorious life of a Trial Captain that he was still hoping for, but if the worst happened, he could picture him and Luna teaching young trainers about Pokemon like Lurantis.

"Still… just have to keep training…" He yawned quietly as he began to fall asleep. "Just keep on… training."

*Narrator*

[The next day passed in relative quiet and with great speed, as they spent most of the day simply practicing her attacks, but Luna was constantly getting distracted by him. What was distracting her he didn't know, but as she always seemed to get distracted around Mating Season he didn't pay much attention. When night came they returned to their cottage and began preparing dinner, but just as they were finishing, they had both expected and unexpected company.]

(Tristan's PoV)

"So how was the food Luna?" He asked his Lurantis.

"Lura!" She replied happily from her seat at the table.

She ate alongside him at the table because she was always with him, and because she was nearly as tall as he was, only shorter by about one foot. He had spent a long time teaching her table manners as well as how to eat her food from the plate with her scythes, something that took a painfully long time, and many destroyed dishes because of it.

Just as he was putting dishes away, a knock on the door caught both of their attention.

"Hey Tristan!" Gabriella's voice said. "You home?"

"Yea one second!" He said, knowing why she had come.

Earlier yesterday, before they found their two Lurantis about to have what looked like a death battle, he and Gabriella were having a talk about their 'futures'. Just as he was about to get to the topic he wanted to ask her about, they began hearing trees falling and what sounded like yells and screams of anger.

As he answered the door, he saw Gabriella on his front door. "Sorry I was late man, but Roberto needed some more practice time controlling himself." She said with a tired expression. "You know how it is, Lurantis mating season."

"Actually, Luna's never given me any trouble…" He said, turning to look at Luna who was placing her dish in the sink as well.

She looked over and waved at him with her scythe, giving him a happy smile.

"How come you get the one Lurantis of all of us that doesn't have 'any' problems?" Gabriella asked sarcastically. "Everyone else's Lurantis or grass type partners are getting all itchy with the mating season happening for the species. Yet here you are with your Lurantis, all comfy and calm, enjoying dinner and having 'no' issues! Tell me, what's your secret?"

"I wouldn't know." He replied. "So do you still want to continue our conversation?" He asked her quietly, stepping outside and closing the door behind him.

"Yea sure." She said politely.

(Luna's PoV)

Luna watched Tristan close the door and leave her alone in their cottage, which seemed odd to her as normally they were always together, unless he went to the bathroom or she had to 'relieve' herself.

*If only he'd mate me, then I wouldn't need to calm myself each season…* She thought quietly as she went to the bed to make sure it was made. *Maybe he's just waiting for the right moment…*

Thinking about how Tristan would mate with her, imagining how long he'd go or how he'd even do it to begin with got her feeling really in the mood. Even as she carefully laid out the blankets on the bed, straightening them and aligning them, her instincts were driving her to seek out her mate.

As her instincts demanded she find him, her mind again began wandering, imagining, picturing the moment they finally mated.

He would lean close to her, hold her scythe arms close to him, with her legs spread and her entrance wet and waiting eagerly for his sex organ… whatever it was, she never actually saw him without 'all' of his clothes. He would kiss her mouth, she would close her eyes, and feel him press into her, and after perhaps a few moments, he would deposit his seed and fertilize her eggs over a long and lengthy period. Then as he finished depositing his seed, he would hold her close, and she would coo to him submissively… listening to him as he asked her how many eggs she'd give him.

*Oh~…* She thought happily. "I can't wait anymore… I need him to mate me~! I want to mate with him so much~ I want to have so many eggs with him~!"

So without any hesitation, determined to finally have her eggs fertilized, she quickly finished making the bed, and ran to leave through the front door. Fortunately, she knew how to open it, as it was one of those push/pull doors with handlebars. They never needed a lock as the Lake of the Moone grounds were sacred, and no human ever committed any crime there, only wild Pokemon stealing food were a problem.

As she left the cottage and ran under the late night sky with the stars and moon shining down, she followed the scent of her mate toward where he was.

The mate she loved so very much.

(Tristan's and Luna's PoV)

"So yea… about what we were talking about." He said as they stared out over the lake surrounding the massive temple shrine to Lunala.

Of the two temple shrines dedicated to the Sun and Moon emissaries, he thought Lunala's temple built in the middle of the massive lake was by far the best. The surrounding forest gave it quite a sight, making it look like truly sacred grounds, as if it was forbidden for any but those deemed worthy to be there. With the moon shining brightly over it, it seemed even more like a holy place to those of Ula'ula island.

"You were about to ask me about what my plans are if me and Roberto don't become Trial Captain and Totem Pokemon?" She asked as she sat with her legs crossed.

"Yea, I mean, I'm looking at the others and, well Luna isn't exactly the biggest or strongest of the Totem Pokemon hopefuls." He said nervously, trying to get to what he wanted to ask about. "So I was wondering… what were your plans?"

"To be honest, I haven't thought that far." She said honestly.

"I see…" He said, completely unaware that behind him, in the tree line, a Lurantis was running to get to the edge nearly sixty feet behind them.

"What are you getting at?" She asked.

"I was just thinking… if you didn't have any major plans…" He said politely. "Would you perhaps… consider going out with me?"

He had to be honest with her, after a couple years knowing her, sometimes eating meals with her and Roberto with Luna, and talking to her most of the other Trial Captain trainees, he had developed a sort of crush on her. She was smart, pretty, and knew how to make a joke as well as take one. Plus, by the looks of her lifestyle, she was very much single.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to shoot you down before you take off pal!" She said with a chuckle, but giving him an apologetic smile. "I've already got a guy back home on Akala Island, in fact he helped pay for my trip here to take this challenge."

"Oh… I see…" He said with a sigh. "Well, there goes my delusions… still, better I got shot down now instead of later. Still friends though?"

"You betcha!" She said with a grin, fist bumping him. "So tell me, how do you keep Luna under control so much, Roberto was giving me hell today, he was really upset after she rejected his mating dance. He had to take his frustration and everything else out on the trees around my cottage."

Just as Gabriella began talking about the mating dance, Luna had reached the tree line and saw her beloved mate there by the lake. "There you are!" She whispered happily, before walking quietly to sneak up on him and entice him back home.

As she got closer she began to overhear their conversation thanks to her excellent hearing, and what Tristan said next caught her attention.

"I honestly don't do anything; she hasn't ever given me any trouble during Lurantis Mating season." He said.

She stopped moving at those words. *I don't give him trouble during mating season?* She thought in confusion. *But why would I give him trouble… I'm willing to mate whenever he wants. He can mate me anytime, any day, even if I don't give him eggs!*

"Okay, but what about a mate, does she have one that I don't know about?" Gabriella asked.

"No, she hasn't had a mate ever, and I know, she's been with me the entire time!" He said.

*Wh… what… but… 'he's' my mate!* She thought, now even more confused. *Why would he lie about me not having a mate?*

"Okay, so if she has no mate, and she doesn't give you trouble, then how do you keep her urges in check?" Gabriella asked. "I mean, she's been through five mating seasons by now, I can only imagine how she feels by now. She must be wanting a mate so badly it 'must' be driving her crazy. Roberto's in the same boat and you saw how he acted yesterday, he was willing to fight Luna for her to be his mate! Her egg sack must be so bloated that her instincts are going into overdrive for her to find her mate and mate!"

"I don't know about that, but she hasn't got a mate as far as I know." He said.

At that Luna was beginning to feel slightly panicked, nothing made sense, he was her mate! He had to know, he initiated the mating dance, he asked for her to be his mate, he accepted her answer. *Was I not a good mate… no, I was a good mate!* She thought in fear. *I did everything for him, everything he asked, I helped him for every problem… I was a good mate for him!*

"Oh yea, how is Roberto feeling now?" Tristan asked, remembering the male Lurantis that tried to get Luna to be his mate.

"Roberto's feeling really down… poor guy, when a Lurantis gets rejected, it's really hard on them." She said with a sigh. "I was thinking of maybe performing some kind of dance to perhaps cheer him up, you know, something to get his spirits up. You think you'd gimme a few pointers or tips, I mean you did perform a Lurantis Dance that one time, so Luna must've shown you how to do it."

"Yea she did, I owe her a lot for teaching me, if she didn't show me I think I might not have made it through that talent show!" He said with a hearty laugh, remembering how much of an idiot he looked while trying to practice alone. "I wonder what kind of dance it was though…"

At that her heart suddenly seemed to shatter, the words fell on top of her like boulders, crushing her with the weight of a thousand mega evolved Aggrons.

*Bu… he… he…*

She heard every word, he thought that dance had been something for some 'talent show'. He didn't realize what kind of dance they had performed…

*It… it can't be true… he has to know!*

She took one shaky step closer, trying to get her mate to tell the truth, but just as she did he spoke up again.

"Well I think if you have time tomorrow, I can teach you that dance I did on stage, I'm sure Roberto will feel better if you performed it with him." He said. "Luna sure became happier after teaching me how to dance, she even danced with me."

At those words, she felt her heart shatter, he was going to teach another human, some 'stranger' that wasn't someone he wanted to mate… her species' most sacred dance. It was a dance only performed when one felt ready to take on a mate of their liking. It was also a dance that was not easily rejected, only under 'specific' circumstances did a Lurantis reject another's mating dance.

Yet her Tristan… her 'mate'… did not realize this.

Then a thought popped into her head, a thought that wormed its way through her heart and into her soul, and drove her to despair, shattered her soul, and broke her spirit.

*He doesn't realize… he asked me… to be his 'LIFE' mate…* She thought. *He's had me as his mate for all these years… and never cared or thought about me as a 'mate'…*

She couldn't reject him, she couldn't leave him, she had sworn upon the mating dance to forever be 'his' mate. She would fight for him, have eggs with him, mate with him, and when the day came she would die right alongside him. She had already bound herself to him, in a bond that she thought was built on love, and she could not leave him because her instincts and heart told her that he was her mate.

*He… doesn't… love me…* She thought feebly, before her legs lost strength, and she began falling forward. *Tristan… my mate… why… why my mate… why?*

Her last thought as she fell face forward, and both Gabriella and Tristan finally noticed her, was why didn't he love her.

*I thought… you… danced… because… you loved me…*

=Three Days Later=

(Tristan's PoV)

He sat beside the bed Luna was sleeping in, her breathing was slow and steady, indicating she was asleep. In the three days since he and Gabriella saw her collapse, she had not awoken.

Nurse Joy from the nearby center on Route 16 had tried her best to diagnose her illness, but she told him she was in perfect health. Yet at the same time she was running a fever, her leg muscles were weak, and her heartbeat was three times above normal.

(Fifteen minutes earlier)

"There's nothing wrong with her physically speaking." She said gloomily. "It's like her body has lost all will to function properly and isn't working the way it should! There's nothing I can do…"

"But there has to be a cause right?" He asked hopefully.

"The only thing that comes close to her condition, would be if she were rejected by her mate during Lurantis Mating Season…" Nurse Joy said worriedly. "If she had a mate, and that mate rejected her, then she would feel deeply heart broken. But you yourself said she doesn't have a mate correct?"

"Yea, she doesn't have a mate…" He said sadly, looking at his friend sleeping in bed. "She even rejected another Lurantis who was trying to mate with her, but he didn't react nearly as bad… sure he tried to fight her, but he left her alone after me and Gabriella broke them up."

"Typically Lurantis take rejection differently, it depends on how close they were… if she isn't like this because of a rejected mate, then I'll need to keep looking into it…" She said sadly. "I'll come back in a few days, keep trying to get her to wake up, and if her condition worsens call me the instant it happens!"

=Present=

So now here he was, staring at his precious friend and partner, sleeping only because her body needed it. Luna had not eaten, awoken, or moved at all in the past three days, and nothing he's tried has awoken her from her self-induced coma.

"What did I do wrong?" He asked himself as he changed the wet towel on her forehead. "You were just fine until… until I talked to Gabriella."

As before, she didn't respond, his Lurantis continued to simply lie in bed, completely oblivious to the fact that he was next to her bed, worrying his heart that she was deathly sick. Why did she not wake up, what was wrong with her, why did everything go so badly for them when they were doing so well up until three days ago.

Once again, the only explanation that seemed to be making any logical sense, Lurantis Mating Season. But she didn't have a mate, never sought one out, never even bothered to consider one…

"Wait a moment… rejected by her mate…" He said quietly, before the cogs in his brain started turning. "Didn't Gabriella say that Roberto was a wreck after Luna rejected him?"

As he thought back to their conversation, he thought again about the specific words Gabriella had told him about Roberto being rejected.

'Roberto was giving me hell today; he was really upset after she rejected his mating dance.'

"Mating Dance…" He whispered, as a sudden inspiration hit him. "What if…"

Quickly making sure that Luna's condition hadn't worsened, and that her forehead towel was still damp, he left the room and into the living room where the only computer for acres was. Every cottage had one surrounding the Lake of the Moone, for personal reasons as well as for research.

As he logged in he began searching for information about Lurantis Mating instincts. "Lurantis, like many species of Pokemon, take matters of mating extremely seriously…" He read out. "During mating, Lurantis will seek out their ideal candidate based on factors which can only be described in human terms as 'love'. While some theorize that these are merely instincts found in the species, the sheer fact that Lurantis mate for life, in which they stay with their partners until they die cannot be ignored."

That only answered questions that he already knew, so he looked up information about Lurantis Mating 'Rejections', and after sifting through several bad sites he found one that looked promising.

"In terms of rejection, Lurantis take rejection seriously, and will even break down emotionally in various and unpredictable ways." He read. "When rejected, the Lurantis that initiates the mating dance often waits for their desired mate to leave the area, before breaking down and letting out their instincts. While it is rare that a Lurantis will ever reject a mating dance once initiated, it has been known to occur among the species, this is most especially commonly found among those trained by humans in areas where it is not known that they already 'have' a mate, or have no interest in taking a mate."

That caught his attention, the fact that this site described what happened to Roberto almost precisely made him begin to suspect something he 'hoped' wasn't true. Nervously, he looked up the final piece of the puzzle.

The Lurantis Mating Dance.

The first site that popped up showed a step by step diagram of how the Lurantis Mating Dance went, from various hip and arm motions, to their deep meanings to the species. Instantly he recognized what it was, and realized that he had made a terrible and ignorant mistake years ago.

He had accidentally performed the mating dance for Luna, and she had responded and accepted it.

"But 'she' showed me how to do it, she taught me how to…" He whispered, before more realizations hit him hard. "She must not have known… she must have thought I was trying to get her to be my mate, and figured I didn't know 'how' the dance went. So she taught it to me… and thought that I was… oh what have I done?"

Now it was all clear to him, he had broken her heart, she must have overheard his conversation with Gabriella, and hearing the truth must have devastated her emotionally. No wonder she was in a coma, she thought he had never once thought of her as a mate when she herself had considered herself 'his' mate and him 'her' mate for years.

"That's why she did all of that, that's why she fought off Roberto like that, she was defending her right to be my mate…" He said, face palming himself in guilt. "She wouldn't do all of that, go that far for all of these years unless she was doing it out of love. None of the other Trainees' Lurantis went as far as she did for them. She did it because… she loved me, and wanted to make me happy."

Sitting there, silently berating and yelling at himself, he thought back to all of the times Luna was hurt for his sake. The time she nearly froze to death getting them firewood overnight, the time she battled a gang of Rattatas and a Raticate to get back their food, to every small thing she did like helping him into bed and even cuddling with him.

She did all of it, for no other reason than because she loved him.

As he sat there, time seemed to fly, minutes became hours, and before he realized it night had descended before he finally returned to Lunas side, but during that time he learned a few things about himself that he didn't realize until just now as well.

Luna was still asleep in their shared bed though, unaware that he now knew the truth, but as he looked at her face and gently rubbed the side of her head with his finger, he couldn't help but think warmly of her.

And those warm thoughts only made him feel even worse about how stupid he was.

"Luna… I know you might not be able to hear me…" He whispered softly, closing his eyes and letting his heavy heart talk. "But… I found out why… your like this. I wish I could take back what I said… but I can't… and it's all my fault…"

His eyes began to cry as he thought of everything they'd done together, over the years.

"All this time I thought… I just thought of you as a friend, a really close family member even…" He whispered even more sadly. "I just… I didn't realize how important that dance was to you… I just thought it was some dance you wanted to show me! I was so stupid and… everything is all my fault!"

He began hiccupping as his heart-filled confession took root.

"You were there for me every minute, no matter what it was you would help me… and I did all I could for you because… you were so important to me! You more than anyone else was who I was concerned about, even when I began thinking we might not be chosen by the Kahuna or the Tapu Deity. I just… I just wanted to do right by you, so you would be proud of what we did here… that we didn't waste our time!"

He looked up at Luna's still quiet face, still sleeping, still unaware of his words.

"So if you do hear me Luna… I only… I'm only asking you… to forgive me… even a little!" He begged her, before kneeling on the floor next to her and burying his head in the bed's blankets. "I just… I want to tell you how sorry I am… I never realized it until now… not until just now, how important you were to me… how important you 'are' to me… without you, I just can't do anything… I don't even have the strength to walk out the door without knowing you're with me… and that's because…"

He sobbed his last few words, before he broke down in hysterical tears.

"I love you… I love you as well Luna…" He moaned.

He continued to sob into the blanket, ignoring everything else around him, not caring that he was probably pulling the blankets off of Luna with his grip. All he could do was cry and sob his distress.

Until he felt something rub his hair.

He looked up to see a colorful pink scythe gently rubbing his head back and forth, and saw Luna's smiling, exhausted, and tired face looking at him, with a slight gleam in her eyes.

"Luran… tis…" She whispered warmly, and her words were clear to him thanks to the look in her eyes. "And I love you… Tristan…"

"Luna!" He gasped, before throwing his arms around his Lurantis, crying into her as he hugged her close to him. "I'm so sorry for not realizing… I'm so sorry!"

Luna tiredly hugged him back, wrapping her scythes around him in a warm embrace, and cooing softly. "Luran tis… Luran tis…" She cooed. "I forgive you… I forgive you…"

(Luna's PoV)

She felt him continue to sob onto her body, letting his despair flow, and she knew he was telling the truth, in 'all' aspects. He was truly sorry for his ignorant mistake years ago, he was sorry for misleading her all these years, sorry for breaking her heart, but most of all, he was sorry for not telling her that he did indeed truly 'loved' her. She couldn't be mad at him, sure if he didn't care for her as anything but a friend, she would be hurt, devastated, probably give up on being with him because of how he'd broken and abused her feelings for him.

But that obviously wasn't the case, he knew better, they 'both' knew better, and the fact that he not only found himself loving her but begging for forgiveness, hurting himself and blaming himself for everything that happened… it just proved that they could still be mates, and deep down, she still loved him.

"Please… forgive me Luna… please forgive me for what I did to you…" He hiccupped.

"I forgive you Tristan…" She cooed softly, still holding him close. "Even if you don't mate with me… I still forgive you… I still love you… my mate."

They sat there, hugging each other and she gently comforting him, letting him know that she still loved him. But after a few moments he calmed down, and did something that she did not expect. He looked her in the eyes, gently held her even closer, and pushed his lips against hers in a kiss.

She was so caught off guard that at first she didn't know how to react, then they both closed their eyes and simply melted into one another's mouths.

She felt her tongue licking his lips, begging for entrance, before he answered and beckoned her into his mouth, where they proceeded to dance and share each other's mouth-essence. Soon she had pulled him onto the bed, and he pulled the blankets over them, and they simply let their mouths express their feelings in a love making session that drove her instincts over the roof.

She 'wanted' him now… one kiss and her body was urging… no… DEMANDING… that he remove every article of clothing, shove his seed spilling tool into her, and fertilize her bloated egg sac full of sperm and finally make a large clutch of eggs with her.

But she restrained… they had just properly affirmed their love, she had just woken up and was feeling very tired, and he was obviously not ready to properly mate with her. She could wait, and she knew that after tonight, he 'would' mate with her… as is proper.

So they split away with loving looks, tired but loving looks for each other. "Luna… can you wait until tomorrow?" He asked softly.

She nodded with a warm blush. "I will…" She answered.

With that they both began falling asleep, but Luna's thoughts were going wild.

*Tomorrow's the last day… cutting it close… but finally… we'll be proper mates…*

=The Next Night=

*Narrator*

[The next day passed slowly, with Luna spending most of it recovering from her lack of food and care. She didn't see much of Tristan, except for the few rare times he went into the room she was laying in to check her health. She kept hearing weird noises, like he was sewing something, but she didn't know what it was.]

[Yet as nightfall came, and she began wondering how long he would take before he finally mated her, he came into the room and asked if she was well enough to walk outside. She declared she was, and both of them left the cottage, where to, she did not know, but Tristan was carrying a bag alongside him as they walked. Soon though, she found herself walking to the scene where she had her heart broken… the very same spot overlooking the Lake of the Moone…]

(Luna's and Tristan's PoV)

"Alright… here we are…" He said quietly as they finally reached the spot, looking around to make sure they would have privacy.

"Why are we here?" She asked curiously, staring around in confusion.

"Luna… I need you to trust me for a bit girl, can you turn around for a moment?" He asked politely.

Now even more confused, she nodded and turned around, looking at the woods in case of any wild night Pokemon attempting to attack them. Behind her Tristan began unpacking the bag that he was carrying, pulling out various items and putting them on, making sure everything fit perfectly because they had been a rushed job. He slipped two sleeves onto his arms, gripped the wood inside the sleeves tightly, pulled on the harness he built and made sure it would sit still.

Satisfied, he looked at Luna and told her to turn around again.

Luna did as he asked, and was wide eyed as she saw him dressed in what appeared to be the same sleeves she wore to shield her scythes, and wearing some strange harness with little sticks wrapped in cloth to mimic her small wings on her back.

Tristan looked like a human version of a Lurantis.

"Tristan…" She said in confusion and surprise.

"I know you 'think' we are mates… but Luna… if we really are mates, then I want to ask it properly… this time…" He said as he stepped forward a little. "So please… consider me properly, as if we'd never been mates; as if I'd never proposed to you all those years ago. Alright?"

She was in shock, but nodded to say she would, and moments later after he took a deep breath… he began to dance for her.

He had been practicing all day while she was in bed, making sure he knew how the mating dance went 'perfectly'.

The first steps were a side to side motion, meant to entice her into getting her attention, and indeed she was paying very close attention to him now.

Then he began the next phase, extending his 'scythes' outward while still stepping from side to side, this was to signal that he had strong scythes and was a strong male.

Following this display for at least two full minutes, he began spinning around, keeping his arms waving in a circular to pincer motion, indicating to her that he was active and very energetic as well as to show off the size of his wings, apparently a big 'turn on' for her species.

After minutes of this happening, he faced her and, still doing the stepping and scythe motions, bent over and swayed his hips ever so lightly. It was meant to keep her attention, to show that he was 'serious' about this mating dance, because it sure wasn't easy to keep all of these motions going simultaneously and keep the same energy for all of them.

Now after five full minutes of doing this, and with her still staring intently at him, he finally crossed his arms at the elbows, turned one 'scythe' upside down and kept the other the same.

This was the moment of truth for him, for Lurantis, this gesture meant two things, one that he was offering her his 'scythe' as her mate, and two that he wanted her as 'his' mate.

He stood there quietly, anticipating her answer as she silently watched him, as if debating her answer. If she accepted, then she would respond in kind, performing the dance as well. If she rejected… she'd turn around and walk away.

He waited, patiently… unsure if she really was considering as a mate or considering rejecting him. After everything he did, misleading her, making her believe she was his mate and that he loved her, he probably didn't deserve her as his mate all things considered. But he had to ask it, he had to do it properly, or else it wouldn't truly mean anything to them both.

Then she took a step, and moved it forward… and right before his eyes, she began to mimic the dance he just performed.

She twirled, shook, displayed her 'assets' to him… and ended it by crossing her scythes and tapping his just as she did years ago, asking him to dance with her.

They both smiled warmly and began to dance again, in unison, under the light of a full moon. They danced and ended it with their scythes entwined around each other. Then they leaned forward and pressed their mouths against one another.

They were now, officially in their eyes, Man and Lurantis… mates for life.

An hour later, they found themselves embracing one another again, but in a much more passionate display of love than at the lake. She had her sleeves back on her scythes, and had her legs wrapped around his now 'naked' body atop hers, eagerly awaiting when he pressed into her and began filling her with his precious seed.

For the moment though, they were kissing each other, feeling each other's bodies, letting them both become familiar with the other's intimate figure.

After several passionate kisses, in which they explored each other's mouths, and shared their saliva, letting their warm wet tongues slide around in the other's mouth, they separated and stared down at where the 'real' love making would take place.

His erect seven-inch-long penis, proudly prodding her wet and waiting sex entrance, her sacred and treasured flower that she had been wanting to give him for years.

"Are you ready?" He asked her warmly.

She nodded happily. "Mate with me… give me your seed…" She cooed.

With her consent he began pushing into her, despite how human her pussy was, it lacked a hymen, and therefore no pain was suffered by her. Instead she gasped in pleasure, cooing even more as she waited for him to hilt and start pumping his seed into her bloated egg chamber. Moments later he hilted, and held that position, letting the thought that he was now mating with his beloved Pokemon.

Her walls were extremely soft on the inside, and easily accommodated his girth by stretching to perfectly suit him. With her so close, he could smell her pheromones now, making her smell like a dozen variety of roses and lilies, intoxicating him and making him want to make love to her even more.

For Luna, feeling him finally inside of her, with her sex finally stuffed full and feeling every inch of him, she was in complete content. She felt like she could have stayed there for eternity, letting her beloved mate's shaft sit inside of her. She felt safe, loved, and happy with him so close and in his arms.

Then the unthinkable happened… he began pulling out.

She went wide eyed as she felt him pulling out of her body, thinking maybe she had done something wrong, because he had yet to fertilize her!

Then he pushed back into her, and she gasped in strange pleasure. *Oh… my~* She thought blissfully, feeling him pulling in and out of her, all the while holding him close to her. *This… this isn't… how 'we' mate…*

No, it was way better, feeling him leaving and entering, going at this strange steady pace, pleasuring her sex's walls with every inch of his shaft drove her pleasure beyond what she had imagined. She would have been happy just sitting there while he fertilized her, unmoving and simply laying in his embrace.

Oh her fantasies about how he mated her had been greatly underestimated… the real thing was five times more… pleasurable.

"Oh my… Luna… you feel so good." He whispered as he laid on top of her, pumping in and out of her body with his hips, feeling himself hilt every time. "Oh sweet… Lunala… you feel amazing… you're so tight and… so warm!"

"Oh… Tristan~!" She moaned, wrapping her legs in a bind, trying to keep him from leaving. "Is this… how humans mate? Because… I love it~ I want more… more~ moooore~!"

She looked him in the eye and leaned close enough to kiss him on the lips, and soon laid her head back on the pillow as he pushed her down, letting their tongues resume their dance. After a while the slow pace became steadier, and his gentle pumping became harder, making the bed shake ever so lightly from his hip motion.

After a few moments they separated and he began to thrust into her even harder, putting more effort into making her squeal in ecstasy. She blushed deeply, gasped for breath, and tried her hardest to concentrate, but all she could feel was unbelievable pleasure. Her body was both confused and elated. She had set herself for an 'exciting mating session' by Lurantis standards, but the act of mating for humans obviously was far more interesting.

Her sex began leaking juices after a bit, her body's sweet nectar letting a scent flow into the air, and it acted like an aphrodisiac, making their bodies go into overtime with the act of making love. He pumped into her harder, faster, now pulling her hips to match his pace, and she squeaked each time he hilted.

"Oh… shit… Luna… I'm about to cum!" He panted, before pulling her closer.

"What… does… that… mean?!" She begged, wanting even 'more' pleasure, wanting to feel even more than she was now.

Moments later she got her answer, as he hilted again, but stayed hilted… and she felt him 'cumming'. She felt a hot… sticky substance flowing into her from his penis, and felt it begin to pool slightly inside of her egg sac.

She moaned in pleasure as his warmth filled her, finally, at long last… feeling herself becoming fertilized.

For several moments he stayed hilted, before he looked at her and kissed her, not passionately, but lovingly… letting them both settle down from the experience. Then he pulled her into his arms… keeping her legs still wrapped around his waist and dick inside of her pussy, and stood up, before he leaned her against a nearby wall.

"One more time Luna… I can't help myself… I can't help myself… it's like my body wants to go again…" He whispered to her, and began to pump her passage yet again.

"Ah~…" She moaned, feeling him shove into her once more, unable to think straight with all of these sensations.

Her body was releasing powerful pheromones, sexual pheromones designed to entice her mate into mating her. But the pleasure she was feeling was confusing her body, making it release more 'powerful' pheromones, in such an overwhelming amount that his body could not deny her.

She though was not complaining, even as he pumped her hard and fast, hearing the sound of flesh slapping flesh where her hot and stained sex was, she could not get enough. But she was now thoroughly exhausted, despite being a strong Lurantis, her body was not used to this much activity when it came to anything like 'mating'… her relief sessions only lasted a few brief moments.

Instead she simply let him do all the work, letting him thrust in and out of her passage, which continued to massage him, leaking her nectar while keeping 'his' nectar tucked inside her body where it rightfully belonged.

She looked at him and opened her mouth, wanting to kiss him, and he quickly obliged, but not dancing because he was devoting his energy into the act of fucking her. And boy was he fucking her, his body kept thrusting harder, unable to stop because it both felt good, and 'right'. She was 'his' mate now, and he owed her for all of the years he rejected and denied her… so he was giving her the mating session of a lifetime.

They separated and once again he gasped, "I'm… about… to cum… again Luna!"

He thrust harder, as hard as he could, and she feebly gripped him tightly with her legs moaning in pleasure as he continued to pump her walls, before he hilted again and she felt the warmth of his seed flowing into her body, into her waiting egg sac.

They stayed that way for several minutes while he continued to cum, releasing everything inside of her, until the final spurt was given. Then he tiredly stepped backward, fell onto the bed with her sex still stuffed.

They caught their breath, and stared at one another, with tired but satisfied expressions.

"You already… fertilized me… once… the second time… wasn't needed… my love…" She whispered warmly, before she tucked her head under his chin and cooed, "Not that I'm… complaining though…"

He chuckled but rubbed her head, happy that she was happy. "I missed out… on five years… of this?" He asked, more himself than her. "I love you so much… Luna… I love you… so very much…"

"I love you… as well…" She cooed quietly, before falling fast asleep.

=Seven days later=

"So I'm calling my boyfriend to see if he can take care of these eggs that Roberto had with this female Lurantis that girl Julie has. You know, the one who's cottage land is to the right of Thompson?" Gabriella said over the phone to him. "We can't take care of eggs while we're still Captain Trainees you know, so I have to send them to him. But boy did my Roberto have it in him, he and that mate of his had five eggs… five! The record is like six!"

"That is nice Gabriella…" He said quietly while Luna hugged his naked body lovingly in bed.

"So how are you and Luna doing, I heard she recovered and is cheery again like before!"

"We're fine… but I have to go now, I need to call my own mom to ask her for a small favor… you know… I kinda have no more… uh… underwear… I need her to buy me some… from the store."

"Say no more buddy, I know the feeling… Roberto kinda sliced up my bras one time by mistake." She said with a hearty chuckle, before hanging up.

"Six is the record huh..." He said as he hung the phone up and stared at the pile of eggs in Luna's old sleeping basket.

The basket was piled high with at least seventeen very small eggs, all fertilized, and kept warm in a small blanket.

"How am I going to explain to mom, where seventeen Lurantis eggs came from?" He asked Luna.

"And that was just the first batch~!" She cooed warmly, nuzzling his cheek lovingly. "Wait until next season my mate… I promise I'll give you even more~!"

He chuckled as she nuzzled him, before planting a kiss on her and proceeding to turn them both over, so that she was underneath him and starting to thrust in and out of her sex again, her favorite position. "It's… a good thing… mating season… comes once a year…" He whispered warmly.

"Yes… now we… can safely catch… up… on all the… years… you 'didn't' mate me!" She cooed happily, swiftly becoming intoxicated with the act of sex with her mate.

As a normal Lurantis, her kind did not know the act of 'sex' as humans know it. For them, they came together, they mated, the male fertilized the female and the eggs came out. For humans… well she knew which side had the whole 'mating' thing better, and since he didn't want to make more eggs for a while, she decided to treat her human to mating 'outside' of mating season.

It seemed a fair trade for her, he gave her seventeen eggs, nearly three times what she had been hoping for, and now she gave him a sex session each morning and night.

As she was turned over so that now she was vertical and he horizontal, bouncing up and down on the bed, she was glad she stood up to Roberto last week. For as strong, powerful, and large as that male Lurantis was, he had 'nothing' on her mate Tristan when it came to mating…

*Just lying on the ground letting him fill me with seed…* She thought. *My species has no idea… what they're missing out on!*
