So this will be a unique romance/lemon, in that there will be time skips, the narrator will talk about the time skips, talk about little details, and we'll continue along the story… first time doing it this way, lets see how you like how it turns out!

Who is this mysterious woman that we refer to as 'lady luck', and why is she chooses to favor some over others? She seems to be as sporadic in her decisions as her decisions themselves, but is it just possible that she is simply repaying her debts to those whom she has taken from~

[Ah, the Goldenrod Game Corner, a popular sight here in the Johto Region. Famous for its fun and fair games, and most notably, the amazing prizes offered to those who win it big! Some have asked where this amusement center gets its prizes, most notably the rarest of the rare, Dratini?]
[Some ask, some answer, but most are wrong, but no matter what day it is or how many visitors come to play the games or even try their hardest… few ever win it big to get the most wonderful prize of taking home their own Dratini!]
[But once in a while, a very 'rare' Pokemon prize enters the game corner… that one cannot help but 'try' to win!]
(Dratini's PoV)
"Whoa, it's so pretty!"
"Can I just pet it?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Why is it pink?"
She looked out of her little glass cage at all the humans staring at her with a sad expression, wondering just how long they were going to stare at her today? Was it not bad enough that those cruel men grabbed her from her nice cool water home, shoved her into a steel cage, put her to sleep with that weird gas, and then placed her on display for all humans to look at? Why did she have to endure day after day of this torture?
She sighed again and just curled up into a small ball and looked around at all the people, some standing and staring at her, others just in the corner gossiping or playing cards, and the rest all at those little machines trying to win coins to win prizes.
That's all she was, a prize… nothing more, nothing less.
'I hope someone wins enough to take me away… I just want to get away from all these faces…' She thought bitterly.
She's known about humans for most of her life, knowing them from her interactions with some human children near where she lived. Some humans were honestly alright, some really nice, and then she encountered the few that were just rotten from the inside. At first, she tried to get away… but the plexiglass turned out to be tougher to break through then she thought. Then when the crowds of people came, she had just accepted her fate, the same as some of the other Pokemon nearby.
An Abra, who was asleep and probably didn't even care that he was in a cage, and who she thought probably even teleported in there just by sheer chance.
And an Ekans, who like her was curled up in a ball and busy trying to sleep, not being the most desirable prize when compared to her.
"Twenty-five hundred coins to win her… so many coins…" Someone complained a little before her.
"Most I can win is five hundred." Someone else said.
That's what she's heard the most for the past few months while she was stuck in this building. Most people tried to win coins for her, but all of them couldn't even hope to get close to winning enough it seemed. She'd seen a few Ekans, a few Sandshrew, and even many Abras walk out the door. But when it came to her, nobody could win enough. A few outright tried to 'buy' her, but the game store owner would not relent or allow it, she was to be 'won', not 'bought'.
The statement alone sealed her fate…
So, the day went on, as hours passed and people lost interest in the 'pink Dratini', and either moved on to the game, either to win her or to pass the time. She watched them come and go, some leaving some coming in and repeating the process.
Then, she watched as another pair of humans walked across the front entrance.
There wasn't anything special about him, he was just a child, wearing a small suit and pants and looking well groomed. As for the adult he looked to be a little bit older than most human adults, with slightly greying hair and wearing very formal attire.
As she thought, they weren't anything special, she'd seen fancy humans before, they were among the ones who tried to buy her instead of pointlessly trying to win her. Yet, as she just watched them walk by, the child turned to look at her and stopped. It was as their eyes met, that he just 'stared' at her.
That's all he did… just stare, but she felt a tiny hope grow that, maybe he could win her and get her out of this prison.
Then the older human noticed and tried to beckon him to resume walking, but the child shook his head and pointed at her. They exchanged a few words before the older human nodded and opened the door for him to walk inside.
When he approached the prize corner where 'she' was, he instantly walked to her and just pressed against the glass to look. He wasn't that well-built, being a child, his hair was blonde, but his eyes were what stunned her now that she got a closer look. His two eyes were each differently colored, one was a light purple and the other light blue. She'd never seen a human with two different colored eyes, they all had varying colors but for the most part, each human only had 1 set of similar colored eyes.
"Colton… what is it?" The boy asked the older human.
"I believe young master, that it is known as a 'Dratini', a very rare species of Pokemon if I recall." He said in a very professional and respectful tone.
"Wow… are they always so… 'bright' and pink?" He asked in wonder.
"No, if I remember correctly… they are normally blue, this one must be exceptionally rare." He replied.
"Wow…" The boy, the 'young master' as he was referred to, said in awe. "Can I have one?"
"Of course, young master, when we return home, I shall arrange for a Dratini to be sent to the manor." He said warmly.
"But… what about this one?" He said, turning to him. "Can I have this one?"
"Hmm, I suppose so, uh… store owner… how much would it cost for the transfer of ownership for this Dratini specimen?" He asked.
"They aren't for sale!" He said. "If you want it, you have to win enough coins like everyone else!"
"Hmm, I see… very well thank you for answering me." The old man said. "Hmpf, uneducated ruffian… I'm sorry young master, but it seems it's not for sale."
She sighed inwardly, feeling depressed, people with money always try the 'buy' route, and always fail. Guess she has to keep hoping one of the others win her…
"How do you get enough coins?" The boy asked.
"Hmm, if I am correct by playing these one-armed bandits they call 'slot machines." The man said. "But regardless, I suggest we return home now, or you'll be late for dinner…"
"I want to try and win it!" The boy said determinately.
"Young master, really, these things are not toys…" He said back, sounding flabbergasted that the boy wanted to try. "They're just tools designed to hook you into spending money you shouldn't…"
"Let me at least try once, Colton please!" He said with a pleading look. "Just one try!"
She looked at the two with interest as the older man seemed to admit defeat, curious about them and why the older man seemed to 'bow' to the boy's demands. Every time she saw humans interacting, it was the younger ones having to obey the elder humans. This time it was the reverse.
"Very well young master, but only 'one' try!" He said. "Sir, may I purchase enough coins for one spin please!"
After a few seconds the store owner handed over a few coins in exchange for money, and the two walked over to a slot machine. With that she sighed again and decided to try and catch up on her sleep once more. It would be as the older man said, the machines would just suck up his money, he'd lose and have to leave… and then she'd be stuck waiting for-
[Quad Jackpot, Quad Jackpot, Quad Jackpot, Quad Jackpot!]
She looked up and saw everyone staring at the two as the machine lit up in a fantastical display of lights and watched as coins flew out of the machine.
"I won!" The boy said excitedly.
"Well done young master!" The elder human yelled out happily.
"Man, talk about luck…"
"Some people get all the luck in the world…"
"Rich people always seem to win..."
Everyone else began talking and complaining about the boy and his friend winning the 'jackpot' or whatever. But all she could think was, 'freedom'. The boy had come into the game corner just to see her and have his curiosity answered… then he wanted to have her, as a pet or something else she didn't know. Then, he gambled 'one' chance he was given to get her and won it… he'd 'won' her with just a single pull of a lever.
The store owner on the other hand, was not happy…
He'd tried to convince the boy to take other prizes, even tried to have the machine tested to see if it was rigged, but after an hour of arguing the elder human threatened to sue him with a team of 'well paid lawyers', before finally he conceded and allowed the boy to take her from the building.
She wiggled into his arms and looked up into his two differently colored eyes with interest.
'He has very pretty eyes…' She thought warmly.
"Hi there, my name is Andrew." He said warmly. "Uh, so what is your name ma'am?"
"Young master, how did you know it's a girl?" The older human named 'Colton' asked with a chuckle.
"Huh, doesn't pink usually mean girl?" The boy asked back with confusion.
"No, nearly all Pokemon look the same whether boy or girl, skin or fur color doesn't change anything!" He chuckled back.
"Really?" The boy asked.
She giggled inside as they all left the game store, looking back at it with a sigh of relief as they left her prison behind. She didn't know what would happen to her, or if her life was going to get better or not, but just for getting her out of that place she owed him her life.
If nothing else, she surmised as she curled around his neck and snuggled into his embrace, she would at least stay with him.
It was a long walk to the boy's home, but eventually she saw where the two were originally headed before they stopped to pick her up. She had to stare wide eyed at the massive building, in the distance behind a large wall with a solid steel gate, which after opening up, showed a massive green field garden that encompassed a huge area she didn't think was possible. It looked well kept with statues of various Pokemon and people, all in elegant and heroic poses. The building itself stood around three floors tall, if she was anything to judge human architecture, and probably around ten or twelve buildings as wide from end to end.
"Home at last, today has been a rather eventful day hasn't it, young master?" Colton asked the boy.
"Yes, Colton it has." The boy said tiredly.
"Well once we enter inside, I shall instruct the staff to have your meal ready and prepare your bed. Tomorrow is a busy day after all!" He said warmly.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"We're home!" Andrew said happily.
They walked into the mansion through a set of double doors that rested at the top of a set of winding staircases, which led from the street which also led to the large gate which connected the large wall, which encompassed the entire area surrounding the massive building. As they entered the building, she saw standing on each side of the massive room were a row of people and 'Pokemon', the male humans dressed in black suits while the female humans were in white dresses. On the backs of the human's clothing was the symbol of a 'Dragonair' with its wings spread wide and body forming the shape of a crescent moon.
As for the Pokemon, there were ten total standing with the six humans, three of them Gardevoirs, one a Seviper, a Dragonair, a Gallade, two Charmeleons, a Leavanny, and a Meganium.
"Welcome back Young Master!" All the humans said in unison, bowing as they did.
"Welcome back Master of the Manor!" All the Pokemon declared warmly, also bowing at his entry.
"Hi everyone." He said as, like a well-trained team, one of the maids took his coat and another took his friend's coat.
"Alright everyone, introductions first." The older man said. "The young master has a new friend, as you see, and her name is…"
Andrew held her in his arms before turning to her and asking, "Would you be okay with the name Magenta?"
She thought about it, personally not really caring for the name, but since it was apparently important, she nodded, liking how it sounded to her.
"Say hello to Magenta then!" Colton continued.
"Welcome to our home Magenta!" All the humans said cheerfully.
"Welcome to the manor Magenta!" The Pokemon declared.
"Alright, introductions over, chop chop everyone, dinner time is in less than two hours!" Colton declared, smacking his hands together in a chopping fashion. "Anabelle, Velusia, prepare the young master's bedroom for tonight as well as a bath! Julian, inform the chefs to prepare food for fifteen, we're entertaining some guests. The mayor will be here to pay a visit to discuss legal issues, and we have our legal team and their families here for dinner tonight as gratitude for helping the Young Master win the case regarding ownership of the mansion, and the last will of the previous mistress and her husband. Everyone else, prepare guest bedrooms one through seven, I want everything to be dusted and spotless before they arrive!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
With that everyone began running around while she and Andrew moved on, until a Gardevoir walked up to him, wearing a headband, which mirrored what the female humans wore, smiled and bent down to him.
(I will take Magenta young master to get her cleaned up, if you wish it!) He said warmly.
"Uh, okay…" He said, before handing her off to the Gardevoir.
"Nice to meet you Magenta, we'll have you cleaned up before dinner!" The Dragonair said, wearing a bow tie above his chest crystal.
"Where is Alexander going?" She asked as her new owner left to follow Colton.
(They're off to get ready for dinner.) The Gardevoir said, leading the way and carrying her up a flight of stairs, past several paintings which featured various humans and Pokemon.
"They need to spend over an hour preparing for dinner?" She asked curiously.
When she ate, she was fed in minutes, no prep work or anything.
"I'm guessing your not used to upper class etiquette huh?" The Dragonair asked as they moved on. "Here at the Goldenia's manor, a meal requires time to prepare and preparations before any is served and consumed! Residents clean themselves and hour before breakfast, lunch, and most especially dinner. This also includes proper dinner ware for guests, and the servants require time to prepare the house for guests' arrival, as well as arrange for dinner entertainment."
"This all sounds complicated…" Magenta said before they entered a bright white, very sterile and beautiful bath room. "Whoa…"
The room was vast, with low pools of water, where the water poured gently from a large fountain in the center of a Dratini which sprayed outward and trickled into the pools. Various hollowed out holes in the floor had bars of soap, towels, cloths, scrubbing brushes, and other items for cleanliness that she'd never even 'seen' in her life. She'd seen humans clean themselves in the wild, using brushes and tooth brushes, maybe taking a very quick shower under a waterfall, but never anything this 'grand'.
"Let's get started!" The Dragonair said before the Gardevoir placed her in the pool, grabbed a bar of soap, and started scrubbing her very hard.
It took them about half an hour to get her properly cleaned, with the Dragonair telling his friend how to properly clean a Dratini's scales. It also took them a while because they were both boys, and she was a girl. In fact, it was revealed that most of the Pokemon in the mansion were boys, with the only girls being the Leavanny and Seviper.
After she was thoroughly cleaned, they scrubbed her down with special scrapers to remove any loose or damaged scales that may have marred her otherwise beautiful pink coloring. That process took her an agonizingly long time, almost another half hour because of the state she was in, something the Dragonair kept commenting 'every time' he saw another scale fall off.
"Those imbeciles, how 'dare' they treat one of my kind how you were treated!" He muttered as another scale fell off her. "Shoved into a cage, stuffed into a small display, fed kibble? I ought to get Colton to sick our lawyers on that… what was it you said, 'game corner'?"
"Yyyyyeeeeees!" She moaned in agony as another loose scale was 'scraped' off her.
"Ought to get our lawyers on them, tear that place down and put up a library in its place!" He declared, using his tail to wipe the scale into a pile of other loose scales. "Much more preferable, give those children something beneficial to their lives, nothing like a good book to enrich the mind and cultivate their imagination!"
(Quite right Yue.) The Gardevoir, whom she learned was called 'Trevor' said. (Game Corners, the nerve, more like Gambling Halls, ought to be shut down and replaced with a tea café! Rob children of their parents' hard-earned money and get them addicted, and you wonder why so many humans live in such a poverished state!)
She would have said something in the Game Corner's defense, if she weren't currently screaming in agony in her mind as Trevor took the 'scale scraper' and slowly raked it across her soft belly scales.
"I mean, my m… 'Mistress' went to a game corner one night, just to see what the fuss was about, and she left half a million poorer!" Yue the Dragonair said. "Ugh, she had to work so hard just to make up the money she lost playing those 'games', if you can call them 'games'! More like gambling scams, and people have the audacity to call them 'surprise mechanics'!"
(Surprise mechanics indeed, the surprise is in how much they spend on them when the bill comes in!) Trevor agreed as he continued to scrape for loose scales.
Magenta meanwhile was begging Arceus about what sin she committed to warrant such torture!
(Andrew's PoV)
"Colton, when will we be able to visit town again?" He asked excitedly as they went down for dinner over an hour later.
"Perhaps this next weekend, as you know Young Master, you have many lessons to take this week!" His Butler and Legal Guardian, Colton said respectfully. "Tomorrow you have tutoring for basic business skills, then the next day your being given physical fitness lessons, and the day after your art lessons with Madame Maxime who is being flown in from Kalos begin!"
"Oh…" He muttered, not liking his lessons at all.
This year was going to be a long one, every year was long it seemed. Still he at least had 'tonight' to himself, and he had a brand new Pokemon of his own now! True he won it by sheer chance, but Magenta looked so cute and pretty, and she looked so lonely in that little case that he wanted to help her!
"Uh, thank you for letting me win Magenta Colton."
"Oh, think nothing of it young master!" Colton said with a chuckle. "Just don't play those ridiculous machines they have the audacity to call 'games'! That's how your mother lost half a million in one night, robbed her blind practically. The all-nighter's she pulled just to make up even a quarter of it!"
"Yea…" He muttered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry young master… I didn't mean to bring up bad memories."
"It's okay… it was actually funny seeing her and dad going nuts." He said remembering how his mom was going crazy trying to make all the money she lost back, while she told his father to stop going nuts and trying to get his lawyers at the game hall.
As he entered the main lobby to await their guests for dinner, he heard the sound of two Pokemon descending the staircase and turned to see a Gardevoir, 'Trevor', Yue the Dragonair, and finally Magenta descending towards them. Magenta was sparkling clean, almost an entire shade brighter and her scales glittering ever so slightly with each second that passed and every light.
"Wow, she's almost like a different Pokemon!" He said as Magenta hopped into his arms again and snuggled against him.
(We do our best Young Master!) Trevor said with pride.
"Draaaaag gonair dra!" Yue said warmly.
"Thank you, the both of you!" He replied.
Both Pokemon bowed to him with smiles.
"Dra?" Magenta asked.
"We're just waiting on our guests to arrive for dinner tonight, then we can go eat!" He said as a doorbell sounded.
"And that would be them now!" Colton said, signaling the two servants.
Both men nodded and opened the double doors and welcomed in a crowd of fifteen people, the Mayor of Goldenrod City entered first, followed by several lawyers and their families.
"Welcome, welcome everyone, good to see you, welcome welcome…" He and Colton said over and over, welcoming every guest that entered while Magenta sat on his shoulder, just observing everything going on.
Once the formalities were addressed, and everyone began heading into the dining area, and he mingled and talked to some of the adults, he and Magenta also entered the dining room. The room was large, almost fifty feet long with a long ornate wooden table, seating for fifty, glasses of champagne for the adults and juice for children waiting to be consumed, plates and utensils. He sat at the head of the table, since he was the one 'serving' his guests and put Magenta on the floor to wait.
However, Magenta seemed attached, and simply slithered back up into the chair and curled up in his lap.
"I'm sorry Magenta but you can't sit with us." He whispered quietly while everyone gossiped and talked.
"Dra?" She asked curiously.
"When its dinnertime Pokemon aren't allowed at the table." He tried explaining quickly.
"Dra?" She asked again, tilting her head.
(Allow us young master!) Trevor said warmly, bowing to him as he looked with Yue at the young Dratini.
"Dra dra… gonair gon air dra!" Yue said, shaking disapprovingly and nodding at the floor.
"Dratini ini dra?"
"Gonair gonair air dra dra!" Yue said, shaking his head again and using his tail to emphasize the floor.
(He's explaining to young Magenta that it is indecent for a Dratini at her age to sit at the dinner table when the family of the manor is entertaining guests for an evening.) Trevor said as Magenta and Yue conversed. (Magenta is young for her species line, and being wild, is not used to table manners or dinner etiquette, so please forgive her!)
"It's alright Trevor." He said as Magenta finally looked gloomily at the floor and slithered off. "Don't worry, we can play after dinner together!"
Magenta smiled before nuzzling his leg and slithering off.
Trevor bowed and walked off with Magenta, while Yue took his time and bowed slowly to him, his eyes lingering a little longer, before eventually also turning and moving away.
"Dinner is served…" A maid called out, and several servants walked in with the dinner banquet.
The dinner was exquisite as always, the chefs outdoing themselves with all the courses from the appetizers to the main course and even desert. When dinner began to wind down, and idle talk started, the lawyers and mayor began talking about the recent case that had been won for the manor on his behalf.
"And they are trying to appeal the case on the grounds that, young Andrew is 'too young' to be entrusted with the largest fortune any family has ever attained in Johto." One lawyer said. "Naturally, we're trying to convince the judge to throw the appeal out on the grounds that she had reached her decision, but we suspect that this appeal is going to be dragged out like the old case was."
"Absurd, did they not see the will, written in his mother's hand?" The mayor said. "What are they hoping to gain by trying to appeal?"
"Obviously the entire family fortune, the jewels, the wealth, the ground, everything!" Another lawyer said.
She looked over at Andrew and smiled knowingly at him.
"And if that were the case, what would happen to poor Andrew?" A third lawyer asked.
"He would be put in an orphanage." Someone said.
"I would be put in an orphanage?" He asked, causing everyone to look at him.
"Why yes, you are only eleven you would be required, even with your family name and fortune, you would be required to go to the orphanage." The Mayor said sadly, taking a quick sip of wine. "Even though Colton is your appointed Legal Guardian, Goldenrod City's laws state that any child who has no immediate family member within the city is required to go to it…"
Everyone heard a deep growl, and Andrew looked over to see the Pokemon of the manor looking at Yue the Dragonair who glared back, before 'harumphing' and slithering out. Moments later Magenta followed after, curiosity on her face as she slithered out of the room, gently closing the door behind as she did
(Forgive Yue, guests and young master!) Trevor said, bowing apologetically. (As you know, Yue is the previous Mistress' personal Pokemon, and he has great pride in being her Pokemon as well as the pride of his species. He dislikes the idea of her son being forced to go to an Orphanage when his rightful place is here…)
"Think nothing of it Trevor!" Colton said, before beckoning the guests to a plate of dessert and asking if anyone would like a second taste.
Andrew quickly beckoned over Colton with a nod while the guests took the offer for some more cake. "Is something wrong with Yue? He's never acted that way before, even during the court case."
"Don't worry young master, Dragonairs are very prideful, so if anything offends them, they take it as a personal offense." Colton said. "He'll be fine by tomorrow, rest assured!"
He nodded in understanding, but he was still worried, being the Family Dragonair, having belonged to his mother for over forty years, he'd never seen the Dragonair so upset. He was normally a positive pokemon, always being cheerful and welcoming, especially when he was younger. Yue always played with him while his parents were away or busy, never leaving his side and having fun with him.
He hoped his friend would get better soon, he hasn't been the same since months ago.
(Magenta's PoV)
She followed after Yue, having taken a liking to the Dragonair since he was the first of her kind she'd seen since being abducted. Seeing how he acted after he went on that tirade about 'etiquette' and 'table manners' when she just wanted to sit with Andrew for dinner, especially after seeing all the food they were eating, and then suddenly seeing him act so… un-elegant… was surprising.
She was just catching up to him as he slithered down one hallway, nudged a door open, and went outside.
"Take Andrew away, throw HIM in an orphanage?" He hollered to nobody. "Give them a piece of my mind, the nerve, HE BELONGS HERE! If his mother ever found out… why… oh she'd… ugh… the nerve!"
She nudged the door just in time before it closed and followed outside.
"What's wrong?" She asked nervously, knowing better than to further enrage a Dragon Type when it was already upset.
"Son of a Muk, how dare they… even to CONSIDER putting Andrew in an orphanage!" Yue continued to rant, ignoring her. "Teach them a thing or two, throw them into a pit of Skuntanks, see how THEY like what they're suggesting. That's what they'll be doing to the poor boy!"
She again spoke up, "Uh, Yue?"
"WHAT?!" He screamed furiously, turning to her and causing her to curl up in fear.
Seeing her fear melted his anger rather quickly, and he took a deep, calming breath before curling up in kind and looking at her with a gentle aura again.
"I'm sorry young Magenta, but you see… Andrew is… well she's my former 'master's' son. So, I am very protective and defensive about him." He explained. "And hearing them say that they'll take him to an orphanage… it really got to me, and I lost control…"
"It's okay… but what happened to his mother and father, where are they?" She asked, rather curious now that he'd calmed down. "Shouldn't they be here with him?"
The Dragonair looked gloomily at the sky before nodding. "Yea… they should be here… watching him… protecting him… caring for him… like parents should be doing…"
"What happened to them?" She asked again.
Yue just stared silently at the sky before responding. "They died… months ago… an accident, took both their lives. Both his Mother and the Father perished. When it happened my m-mistress left young Andrew the manor, her wealth, and her title of Head of the Family and the affairs of her many businesses in her will, specifically leaving it all to him." He said, his tone growing softer and quieter until it was barely a mutter. "Poor boy, so much to bear alone… so many responsibilities… and he's only eleven years old, he barely knows what the real world is like, and yet he has to manage so much at such a young age…"
She just watched him continue to look up at the sky before she heard someone calling her name and turned to see Andrew walk out the door and looking for her. "Come on Magenta, it's time for bed!" He said.
She glanced back at Yue who nodded toward Andrew, telling her to go to him. "I will be fine, I just need some alone time."
She nodded before slithering off and hopping into Andrew's arms, curling up and snuggling into his chest as he carried her to his room to sleep.
His bedroom was quite large, obviously built for two, and on the side of the bed was a little shelf that bore several pictures. Curious while Andrew changed into his pajamas, she leaned over the bed and looked at the objects. Three pictures were featured on the shelf itself, with a glass sphere which contained a rainbow-colored scale. The middle picture featured an image of a pair of two humans, male and female, with a young child, Andrew, between them. All three were smiling warmly.
On the right picture she saw a lone picture of Andrew as he held up a stuffed toy, a Dratini, with the color of the Dratini fading from one color to another across the body, mirroring the effects of a rainbow.
On the left picture, she saw the woman, and wrapped around her and leaning into her shoulder was 'Yue', as a slightly younger Dragonair. She also noted that the woman's body seemed 'bulgier' in her stomach region, but only slightly, and that she was smiling warmly.
"Those are my parents!" Andrew said as he finished changing, and she watched him walk over and show her. "My mom, Elizabeth, my dad Norton, and that's me Andrew! That's Yue, you met him already, he belonged to my mom!"
She nodded, noticing the resemblance between mother and son, they looked almost exactly the same, but she wondered why he barely, if at all… resembled the father. Then again, she thought to herself, she could hardly tell the differences between one human from another. She watched him reach down and drag the stuffed Dratini toy that was in the picture and placed it on the bed while she snuggled up next to him and curled up for sleep.
Today had been a very interesting day for her.
"Good night Magenta!" He said warmly.
"Good night Andrew!" She said just as sweetly.
She'd only known these people, these Pokemon, and this place for 1 day, but she'd seen enough to know that there was great pride and love here. Yue obviously had enormous pride for his mistress, Andrew's late mother, so much that he was very angry at anything that offended it. If a Dragonair of Yue's stature could enjoy being here his whole life, she could live here as well and be 'Andrew's' Pokemon.
'Yea… I'll be his Pokemon… or friend… yea…' She thought warmly before falling asleep.
Little did either of them know several hours later, that the door creaked open ever so slightly, and Yue slithered into the room. He went over to the bed, took the blanket that had slipped off of Andrew and hung over the side into his mouth. Then he gently repositioned it over Andrew's snoring form, grabbed the Dratini toy, and gently wedged it into his grasp. He then also slipped Magenta into his other arm without so much as waking her.
"Pleasant dreams, young master…" He whispered soothingly, before slithering out and closing the door.
.
[Time passed for Andrew and Magenta and the Goldenia Manor staff, but not much time as half a year went by. During this time Andrew was schooled almost every day, being taught all the necessary skills to run the businesses that were left to him by his mother and father. Every day he was schooled in business, mathematics, chemistry, art, science, language, reading and writing, physical fitness, self-defense, everything he would need to truly be worthy of the title he was given as the Heir of Goldenia Manor.]
[However, while he was schooled, he had very little time to himself, and obviously this meant little time interacting with people who weren't his tutors of the manor staff.]
[His one friend that never left his side and always was there though, was his faithful Dratini Magenta, who no matter the day or time always cheered him up somehow.]

(Andrew's PoV)
"Now Mr. Andrew, if you take the circumference of the sphere, multiply that by the square root of 64, and then subtract that from X which we know to have the value of Y plus fifteen… you get?" His teacher, Alfred Robertson droned as he scratched away on the chalk board.
"Uh…" He muttered, trying to look at his math and figure it out before his tutor realized he didn't understand a single word he said.
"Pay attention young Andrew, understanding advanced calculus and more advanced mathematical equations is very important for your future!" He chided him. "It may seem boring at first, but you will understand how important it is to you as time goes on."
"Uugh…" He moaned as his tutor turned back to the chalkboard and began writing new equations for him to solve. 'I just want to go upstairs and watch the big Pokemon Masters competition with Magenta…'
He'd been looking forward to watching the big match between Cynthia and Red in the semi-finals, with the winner advancing to face the winner of Blue and Green.
"Andrew, stop daydreaming young man and focus!" His tutor chided again. "A sharp mind leads to a sharper future, now… your next algebra problem will cover an older lesson regarding…"
On and on his tutor went, geometry this, algebra that, calculus this and mathematics that… to the point where Andrew just zoned everything out and his body just moved on automatic for hours.
Then at long last his salvation came in the form of a Dratini bursting into the room and tackling Andrew in his seat as he was finishing a test covering the last week's lessons.
"Oh… Magenta!" He laughed as she snuggled and licked him. "Settle down, settle down girl!"
"Beg your pardon sir, but it is almost time for dinner." Colton said as he walked in with a tray of tea and biscuits. "Also, I've brought your afternoon tea, and Magenta insisted on joining you!"
"You came to save me, didn't you?" He giggled as Magenta nodded, saying she was here to save him from his teacher's droning.
"Very well I shall see you next week Andrew, and ensure you finish those problems on page one hundred and fifteen before I return for next week's lesson." His tutor said.
"Yes sir…" He groaned, knowing that page was full of like five thousand problems.
While Colton walked out with his tutor and his equipment, he and Magenta sat down and enjoyed some tea.
"I hate school so much Magenta…" He muttered to her. "And I have to do that 'poem analysis' question my language arts teacher wants me to do, and finish reading that chapter and summarize it for her!"
"Draaaa?" Magenta moaned, stiffening up and pretending to faint with her body in a straight line.
He laughed as she fainted for him, agreeing that school was murder.
They drank their tea and ate a few biscuits while waiting for Colton to call them for dinner.
"Hey Magenta, there's this one room I found yesterday!" He said excitedly, remembering something he found out the day before. "Before Colton calls us for dinner, wanna go check it out?"
"Dratini!" She said just as excitedly, happy to go exploring with him.
They finished drinking the tea and wolfed the biscuits down as fast as possible before they ran off to find the room. He led the way upstairs to the third floor, the one floor they weren't really allowed to visit because it was considered the 'adult's only' floor. Only the manor servants, Colton his butler, and various dignitaries, lawyers, and a bunch of other people were allowed to go upstairs. Supposedly this was the floor he would be working on when he was a full-fledged adult, running the affairs of the family, the businesses he'd inherited, and a host of other things.
Today however, he was leading the way as he led toward a room he'd discovered yesterday before going to bed. They crept down the end of the hall, Magenta slithering behind and keeping lookout while he looked for the room.
"Here it is!" He whispered instantly, seeing a room with the family crest on it.
The crest, a Dragonair, with their body contorted into a crescent moon, was something he'd asked about, but nobody in the manor, not even Colton, told him what it meant or why it was the way it was. There was also a little hole near the base of the door, but he had no idea why it was there to begin with.
"Come on, it's unlocked!" He muttered as he wiggled the doorknob and opened it up excitedly.
"Dra!" Magenta said as she slipped in right after.
"Look at all of this!" He said, pointing around the room.
It looked like a mini library within the house, but it clearly wasn't the study, they had just left it. Around the room were various pictures and books, artifacts and other items of interest that appeared to have belonged to previous members of the Goldenia family. He knew that the first member of their family, Angelina Goldenia, had chosen to change her name for the sake of separating herself from her previous family, who's name wasn't recounted.
He even saw a pencil portrait of Angelina Goldenia at the rear of the room, and directly next to her, drawn coiling around her body in a very protective manner, its eyes shaded to portray a red color, was a Dragonair.
"Look at them Magenta, they must be former family heads!" He said, looking in awe at all of the pictures.
"Dratiniiiiii…" Magenta said in amazement.
"I wonder why they each have a Dragonair?" He asked curiously.
"Dra tini tini." She said in agreement.
As he looked around at all of the pictures, each family head had at their side, a Dragonair besides them. Some protectively coiling around them, others leaning against them.
"You don't suppose it's the same Dragonair in each picture is it Magenta?" He asked her, unable to tell the difference.
"Dra." She said shaking her head.
She told him they weren't the same Dragonair, but as he looked at each, he couldn't tell the difference between them, they all looked the same to him.
However, they couldn't stay there any longer, as he heard Colton calling downstairs for them. As they left, he quickly made sure to close the door to make it look like nobody was in there.
(Magenta's PoV)
She wiggled out of Andrew's grip in bed, trying not to giggle a little at how clingy he was when sleeping next to her. It honestly amused her that he clung so tightly to her, as if she were that stuffed toy he loved so much. Though as she slithered out, twisting her neck a little bit to try and relieve the tension in her muscles, she wished he'd stop gripping her so tightly.
'If I weren't a Dratini, I'd choke at night!' She thought.
It was night and most of the manor servants were asleep, aside from the night-time gardener, Sylvia the Seviper, but the Seviper was currently pruning the hedges so there was nothing to worry about. She slipped up the stairs to the third floor and made her way back to the 'mysterious room' she and Andrew found earlier. After a few minutes of getting lost, which wasn't hard to do considering the place was so big, and not having Andrew there to guide her, she 'eventually' found the room.
She stiffened her body, leapt up, and wrapped her mouth around the doorknob.
"Vish iz arb… tudu wivou… hans!" She muttered as she twisted and contorted her body, trying to get the doorknob to turn and open the door. "Vish Anduw ver here!"
"Have you ever tried just using the tail button to open the door?" She heard a voice ask behind her.
She went wide eyed as she turned and saw Yue looking at her with a smirk and raised eyebrow.
"Vu?" She asked, her mouth still full of doorknob.
"Will you stop talking with your mouth full, what do I keep saying; act like a proper 'civilized' Dratini, and not like a wild Pokemon!" He chided her, slithering over and pulling her off with his tail.
"Sorry… I just… wanted to see inside that room again!" She said, nodding at the door.
He nodded and nudged her over, before pointing at the hole in the bottom of the door. "You can enter anytime by using the secret button to open the door, only a Dratini or Dragonair, can access it." He stated, before lining up his own tail and slipping it in.
She heard a click and saw the door open up right after he slipped his tail out. "Why does 'this' door have a secret button?" She asked curiously.
Yue ignored her as he led the way in.
"This room is the private chamber of every head of the Goldenia family, only the head of the family and their Dragonair or Dratini partners are allowed in here." He stated, closing the door behind her. "In other words, only I, Andrew, and now 'you' are ever allowed to enter here."
"But that doesn't explain 'why' the door has a secret button only 'we' can push Yue." She said again, still confused.
"It's just a security precaution." He stated.
"For 'who'?" She asked again.
"Never you mind!" He chided her, beckoning her to follow him.
She slithered behind him, curiosity still gnawing at her as she looked around the pictures.
"Curious about the family, are you? It's no wonder, your still relatively new to the manor and being Andrew's personal Pokemon your curious about the young master." He said as he stopped beneath a picture of him and his mistress. "Well the previous head, Mistress Jessabelle Goldenia, Andrew's mother, led the family for roughly forty years since she inherited it at the age of seventeen. Her parents however, passed away due to medical complications, her father because of lung cancer, and mother due to a failing heart years after both him 'and' her Dragonair partner died of Toxic Poison."
They looked up at the picture of Andrew's mother and she saw the warm smile as Yue coiled around her, head raised proudly as his tail wrapped around her leg.
"His mother had Andrew years later, just after marrying his father Roberto. Sadly… last year, about seven months before 'you' showed up… both Jessabelle Goldenia and Roberto Goldenia, went on a trip to the Alola region for a business venture, but upon boarding a plane bound for Sinnoh to go on their Honeymoon, the plane exploded… killing all but two humans and two Vulpix eggs." Yue said sadly. "The two survivors were a young boy, who only survived because he was in the epicenter of the explosion… and an adult who was wearing Kommo-o Scale armor, as is some barbaric custom in that land! The eggs were saved as well, because the boy had been holding them. But Roberto… and my m… mistress… Jessabelle died, her body all but scarred beyond recognition."
Magenta glanced at Yue and saw him staring mournfully at the painting, a look of deep sadness in his eyes that she didn't recognize. "Why didn't you go with her?" She asked curiously.
He sighed as he looked at her. "Young Master Andrew… is very clingy as you no doubt have noticed." He said with a halfhearted chuckle. "He was only 'just' getting over not having me around constantly, since I was among the first to see him when he was born, he imprinted on me and was very close to me. I was playing the part of a friend, he was going to be very lonely with his parents gone for an extended business trip as well as honeymoon, and I wanted to help him get through it, as a friend. I asked Jessabelle to remain behind and let her have her time with her… husband."
He looked back at the painting one more time before beckoning her to follow him out, closing the door behind them as he did. Yet she knew that the elder Dragonair was beating himself up, seeing and 'sensing' that the elder Pokemon was blaming himself for the death of his mistress.
Just as they neared Andrew's room and Yue turned to leave, heading to where he and the other Pokemon slept, she called out to him, "Andrew saved your life, you know that right!"
Yue paused at her proclamation, but it was true in her eyes. If Andrew hadn't clung to Yue and needed a friend to help him pass the time, 'Yue' would have died alongside his parents in that accident.
"Perhaps… but I can't help but wonder… 'what if'?" He called back, before slithering off.
Sighing she nuzzled back into Andrew's room, and wiggled back into his grip to sleep for the night.
.
[Time passed for both Andrew and Magenta, his lessons continued, perfecting his skills and enriching his mind with the best quality that money could afford. Each day that passed spent in lesson, reading books in the day, and at night perfecting what he learned the day before so that the next day he'd be ready for the newest challenges. Years passed inside the manor and it would soon be time for Andrew to fully inherit and manage the duty that was given to him by birthright and written in the will of his mother.]
[Magenta however, wasn't taught the same as Andrew, learning only from Yue the Dragonair whenever the elder Pokemon had time to spare in his daily duties. Yet he would often make time to instruct her in various things she, as Andrew's Pokemon Partner, should focus on. The first was recognizing trustworthy and untrustworthy humans, based solely on their personality that they displayed within minutes of first meeting them. She was also taught how to act like a 'lady', but deep down she wanted to act like one of those Pokemon she saw on the Battle Channel, fighting for glory and honor for both trainer and city pride.]
[Yet as the years passed and he matured, Andrew was given more freedom, and one day he took advantage of it and left with Magenta to go into town to explore a local Pokemon Tournament, something he and Magenta continued to enjoy even as they grew up.]
.
(Andrew's PoV)
"FINALLY!" He yelled as he and Magenta reached Goldenrod City.
"Draaaaaaa!" Magenta said just as eagerly.
They had been allowed to walk into town on their own without the need for Colton to watch over him, having turned seventeen the day before. He was now old enough to make his own decisions, at least regarding walking around on his own and where he wanted to go, he still had to wait until he was twenty-one before he could inherit his mother's business empire.
"So glad we can go out on our own, right Magenta?" He asked his beautiful pokemon.
Said pink dragon nodded gleefully, her horn twinkling ever so slightly and her many spherical crystals shining like glittering diamonds. Magenta had evolved two years ago, now a Dragonair the same as Yue, but obviously pink and far more beautiful, in his eyes, then any other Pokemon he'd ever seen in his life.
Thinking about that he shook his head and refocused again.
'Got to stop thinking that stuff, she's my best friend not my girlfriend!' He thought.
This was not the first time he's thought about his friend in that fashion, thinking about her as something 'more', and had chided himself to get him off the thought. His lessons, especially in history had taught him that Pokemon and Human relationships, especially in Johto, a very traditional region was steeped in the belief that Pokemon and Human couples were forbidden.
He could only imagine what would happen if it became common knowledge that he was thinking of his Dragonair in a romantic sense.
'But still…' He thought as they rounded a corner to a busy street. 'She's so beautiful, and she's always been there for me… and with Colton getting up there in years, she's always been the one to spend time with me.'
It wasn't just him though, for the last two years Magenta had been showing him constant affection, especially at night. She was nuzzling him as closely as her body could allow, sliding her lower body and rubbing his groin in her sleep, and coiling her body around him in a tight embrace which required him to wake her up before he could get out of bed. According to his biology lessons, Dragonair do that when they are with their mates, and attempt to contort their bodies into as tight a ball for the sake of companionship, warmth, and especially when mating.
Needless to say, it was very difficult to resist her unconscious advances at his age.
"Where is the local tournament?" He asked himself. "You wouldn't happen to know would you Magenta?"
"Gonair…" Magenta replied, shaking her head.
"Lookin for sumthin kid?" Someone asked behind him.
Both turned to see a man wearing a dark suit and matching pants, with a backward's facing hat and grin.
"Ah yes, we're looking for the local Goldenrod tournament, there's a big opening battle scheduled in about half an hour and my friend and I were hoping to see it!" He said politely.
"Dragonair!" Magenta said just as warmly, bowing to the human.
"Oh, the 'local tournament' eh… yea I know where that is!" He said with a sly tone. "Guessin you're not from around here?"
"No, as a matter of fact we're not!" He said warmly. "I'm Andrew Goldenia, and this is my friend, Magenta!"
Magenta bowed again with a somewhat less cheerful expression now.
"Andrew Goldenia huh, well let's not keep Mr. Goldenia waiting!" The guy said as he turned and beckoned them, while pulling his hat off and turning it inside out.
"That's a curious hat you have, being able to turn it inside out." He commented as he and Magenta followed.
"Yea… comes in handy… ya know… one side warmer than the other!" He responded as he led the way.
"Unsure why you would need a hat like that, it's a beautiful day, warm, I'd guess around eighty degrees." He commented.
He however felt Magenta tap him slightly and saw here shaking her head nervously. "Dragonair…" She muttered.
"I don't know Magenta, he seems reasonable." He replied, not sure why she would have reason to not trust him. "He was kind enough to offer to show us where the tournament is."
"Drag…" Magenta said as they continued to follow him, still sounding worried and unconvinced.
They walked for a while before the man looked around and said, "This way, I know a shortcut!" He said.
As they turned down into an alley, a very disgusting and filthy alley, he began to get curious as to 'why' they would take such a shortcut. He checked the time on his watch and they still had around twenty minutes. Goldenrod was big yes, but they were near the center of town when he met the man, he wouldn't have needed to take a shortcut unless they were 'really' far away.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" He called out, as the further they went down the alley the darker and messier it got.
"Yea… about that…" He said as he turned around with a smirk, and he saw a red letter 'R' on his hat. "Didn't your mommy ever teach ya never trust 'strangers' kid?"
"Oooooh look at the pretty Pokemon you brought us!" He heard someone jeer behind them, and turned to see four other people, all wearing similar getups to the first, with the 'R' symbol on their uniforms. "How nice of you kid!"
"Who… who are you guys?" He asked as Magenta wiggled closer to him in fear.
Magenta was never taught how to fight, she never needed to since they stayed at the manor so much. She had no hope to fight back or scare these men off, despite being a Dragonair, years of protection by the manor staff and the security they purchased didn't need it.
"A rich type huh, never heard of Team Rocket kid?" One of them called out, pulling out whip and grinning.
"This aint no ordinary rich kid, he's 'Andrew Goldenia', the richest 'kid' in Goldenrod AND heir to the Goldenia business empire!" The first man called out. "And his pretty girl is the Dratini that numskull 'lost' at the Game Corner! Boss aint happy that he lost the pretty pink Dratini, she was bringing in loads of money on the rigged slot machines!"
"Yea, till the kid got lucky and picked one of the 'few' machines that weren't rigged to never give a jackpot!" Another called out. "Now don't make this hard kid, just come with us and make this nice an easy…"
"What are you planning to do with us?" He said, raising his fists to defend himself, sizing up his opposition.
"First, we're ganna ransom you off, get a niiiiiiiiiice profit offa ya. Then, we're ganna ransom your little friend and get the REST of your wealth!" The guy with the whip cackled before striking, striking with the whip at him.
However, Andrew was waiting for just that. Right as the whip struck and tried to wrap around his arm, he immediately grabbed it and yanked the surprised Rocket member toward him and punched him in the face using his other fist, knocking the man out in one shot. The other two tried to jump him from behind but he immediately elbowed them in the stomachs, reached backward and grabbed one before lifting and tossing him into a nearby wall.
As he fought off the grunts Magenta wiggled away to try and get out of the fight but was immediately set upon by one of the other guys, who pulled out a whip and grabbed her into a stranglehold. But that wasn't all it did, the whip sent out an electrical burst that shocked her all over her body.
Seeing her being strangled in such a barbaric fashion made him furious, and he instantly went into automatic to defend 'his girl'. He growled as he grabbed the third guy who tried to attack him and while he was still recovering from the hit to his stomach, grabbed and shoved him heavily into the air to land into the man hurting Magenta.
The last guy tried rushing him from behind, but all he did was elbow his stomach and then smash his nose with the back of his fist, which instantly caused a nosebleed 'and' for the man to collapse in pain, screaming in agony. Meanwhile the two men who were still somewhat standing were trying to get up, but he remedied that by grabbing them both, lifting them up, and slammed their heads against one another, causing a double nosebleed.
There was now just one guy left who was struggling to stand and tried foolishly to attack him 'yet again', but all Andrew did was perform a full one-eighty spin to kick the guy in the mouth.
There was a moment where the man stumbled backward, opened his mouth to reveal two teeth falling out and a trail of blood, before falling backward like a cartoon burglar.
"Thanks for helping me perfect my 'Dragon Kick', my Martial Art's sensei will be proud to hear I finally got it correct." He said.
He walked over to Magenta and unwrapped the whip from her body and lifted her up in his arms.
"Dra?" She whispered painfully.
"You're fine girl… I'm right here." He said, holding her close to him.
"Dra…" She replied, before moving to lick his cheek.
Unfortunately, she missed her mark slightly, and instead of a gentle lick on his cheek to show gratitude, her tongue found and slid right into his mouth, causing their lips to press against one another's.
That first kiss was unlike anything he'd ever experienced or expected. It sent a strange 'spark' to run through his body, that caused him to tense up and yet at the same time, eased ever so slightly into it.
Both of them eased into it, slowly at first, before they were just pushing against one another's lips to share in the strange yet… 'right' moment to each other.
That was until reality brought them back and he heard the men grunting behind him, causing him to snap away and look behind him.
The men were slowly crawling away, the conscious one at least, trying to get away from him as fast as his weak limbs could pull him along the ground. He smiled wickedly as he reached over and grabbed a nearby broken brick, turned around, did the mental calculations in his head, and threw it backwards.
"OOf…" He heard the guy moan in pain as it hit right in the creak of his back, directly above the man's spinal cord.
He chuckled as he held Magenta and walked out of the alleyway to head back home.
"So uncivilized." He muttered.
(Magenta's PoV)
"Attacked by Team Rocket?" Trever gasped as he cleaned her body with Yue. "And they used 'whips' on you and Andrew? That is absolutely barbaric, why it's downright Neanderthal of those brutes to use 'whips' on such a majestic species such as yours!"
"Uh huh." She said as her scales were cleaned once again to a prim and proper status.
She'd gotten used to this treatment, the 'scale scraper' had now become something she looked forward to, as it removed all of the damaged, dirtied, and broken scales from her otherwise, elegant body.
"Ooooh, wait until I get Colton to sick our lawyers on those men, they'll be in Prison for the rest of their days!" Yue growled as he slid the fallen scales into a pile. "Throw them in prison for life, let themselves becomes some b!%# % bunk lover, make them their b!%# and #$% them raw like the b#%!%$ they are!"
"Yue!" Trever stated, chiding the elder Pokemon with a glare. "Language… there is a lady present!"
"Oh, my apologies Trevor…" Yue said.
"Yue…" She said, getting the Dragonair's attention. "Can I talk to you… in private?"
The Dragonair looked at her with a curious expression, before nodding. "Leave us Trevor." He ordered.
The male Gardevoir looked curiously between them before getting up, nodding, and floated out of the bathroom to leave the two Dragonairs alone, locking the door behind him.
"What is it Magenta?" He asked her.
"Today… I uh… 'kissed'… Andrew." She muttered. "After he beat those men… I kissed him… I meant to lick his cheek but… my body moved on its own and kissed him."
Yue simply looked at her with his usual 'judging' self, trying to decide how best to reply. "So, what do you want me to do about it my lady?" He stated before he took a towel with his tail and began to dry her off.
"Well… why did I do that?" She asked him hopefully, the elder Pokemon being the only one she could talk to about this. "One minute I'm just thinking like his friend… the next I'm just… throwing myself on him practically! It's un-civil like for me to do that, I shouldn't be doing that, especially in public! What if someone saw us, what if those men were looking… he'd be in so much trouble!"
"You stupid girl…" He chided her again, cleaning her off. "You're acting exactly like a normal Dragonair should… you love him… your body is just being honest when compared to your heart and mind. As a Dragonair you admire strength and courage, male Dragonairs who demonstrate such traits attract you. And while I'm sure you know this, I'm not exactly as 'spry' as I used to be, so naturally you'd gravitate toward the one who shows those traits to you."
She sighed as he dried her off.
She knew all that already, for the last few years she'd grown very attached to Andrew. First it was just out of gratitude for giving her such a wonderful new life and saving her, but then as time went on… the longer they spent together, the more she grew up with him… coupled with the fact that none of the other male Pokemon in the manor were interested in her, especially Yue who was around forty years older than her, meant that her 'mate options' were limited.
"I shouldn't have done that… what was I thinking…" She said bitterly while he slid a wipe into a 'scale shiner' to finish cleaning her. "He probably thinks I'm sick in the head for kissing him."
"Not if he kissed you back." Yue said. "Andrew kissed you back did he not?"
She nodded, remembering how he leaned into her and pulled her closer to him. Feeling the warmth of his tender, soft… wonderful lips… sent shivers down her body.
"So, what are you going to do my lady?" He asked her.
"I don't know…"
Silence reined after that while he continued to shine her scales.
"Whatever you decide, do it tonight, because both of you are going to be confused… until one of you acts." He stated while finishing her scales. "But I will forewarn you, if you decide to pursue him… then just remember… you are committing to a 'forbidden' romance. Humans and Pokemon relationships are most frowned upon… and if discovered…"
"Yes, I know… I've listened on in Andrew's history lesson." She muttered. "Arrested, charged with Pokephilia, trainer's license confiscated… Pokemon taken and put up for adoption, put in jail, labeled publicly…"
Yue finished shining the last of her scales before placing all of the cleaning tools in their proper spots. "Magenta…" He muttered warmly, causing her to look up at him. "I will tell you this, Andrew does love to you, even if he never has showed in 'publicly', he does love you. You are his everything in this world… you gave him the drive to keep going with his lessons when he found them difficult, he has pushed himself just because you encouraged him. When he was tired and wished only to be someone else… you reminded him of who he was."
He turned to her with a twinkle in his eyes, and a smile on his face. "When he lost his parents… 'both' of his parents, he only kept going thanks to Colton and me, but we couldn't fill the hole in his heart. 'You' however did, and for that I am glad he rescued you from that accursed 'Game Corner'." He then turned and bowed deeply to her. "I would be proud, to call you 'Mistress' Magenta, of the Goldenia Manor…"
"But… won't the staff…" She started saying before he chuckled.
"Oy, you stuffed cabbage bilbo Trevor, get in here ya wanker!" He yelled, and his voice echoed loudly in the bathroom.
She half expected Trevor to storm in at being called a 'cabbage bilbo', but no the door remained closed.
"Every room in the manor is soundproofed, and no staff member is allowed to disturb the head of the family at night, only in the morning, and that's Colton's job." He explained while winking at her. "So, go be as 'loud' as you want darling, just remember… love him as he loves you…"
With a smile and no further encouragement needed, she went to the door, opened it up, and left the bathroom to see Trevor waiting to go back inside. Yet the way he was smiling caused her to 'shudder'.
Curious, she kept a crack of the door opened, and listened in.
"Stuffed Cabbage Bilbo, Yue?" He asked in a sweetly menacing tone.
"Uh… how did you…" Yue managed to say before he screamed in agony.
"I CAN READ MINDS YOU IDIOT, AND DID YOU FORGET I'M PART FAIRY?"
"Gyeeeeeeeeeah!" Yue screamed painfully, as she could only imagine the knot the Gardevoir was tying her mentor in.
Despite being a Gardevoir, Trevor was the most 'physically gifted' of the manor Pokemon and could easily give a Machoke a run for its money in an arm-wrestling contest. But she chuckled as she went on to Andrew's room, a mission on her mind.
(Andrew's & Magenta's PoV, later)
"Listen Magenta… uhm, about what happened earlier…" He stated as he slowly massaged her serpentine body before bed.
She liked being rubbed by him, it had become something she'd loved and wanted since she was still a Dratini. Feeling him caressing her entire body from tail tip to neck base, gave her a sense of calm and peace. It also reminded her of how safe she felt in his grip, even though her species was 'vastly' more powerful than any human could hope to be.
"About that kiss?" She asked knowingly.
"Yes, about the kiss… did you… mean to kiss me?" He asked her.
"Did you mean to return it?" She asked in response.
He sighed, knowing that question would come out. "I'll say it because… I don't want to lie to you Magenta." He said. "I did, I wanted to return it, all of it… even if you kissed me by accident, I just wanted to show you my feelings toward you."
She looked up at him with a loving smile, before resting her cheek to rest against his and humming a gentle tune. "I wanted to show you my feelings as well… but my body got ahead of my brain that time… 'beloved'."
They sat there, just leaning against one another, letting their hearts do the talking in the night.
"Magenta… I do love you, you know that." He said. "I know it is wrong, but I still feel this way."
"As do I Andrew… my heart decrees it so I shall heed it." She declared proudly. "I won't let society tell me so, especially when they know not how you make me feel."
They both looked into each other's eyes, and slowly, ever so slowly leaned into each other's mouths and pressed their lips against one another.
Magenta's lips easily met Andrew's, forming a tight seal with which air could not escape, nor could their saliva seep through. And that was all they did at first, simply closing their eyes and enjoying the strange warming sensation coursing through them. Her body's spontaneous actions subsided ever so slightly, as her heart and mind both accepted and welcomed the newfound action. She could feel him hold her closer to him, wanting to tighten their feelings together, and she acquiesced, slowly coiling her tail around his leg and body.
Andrew could feel it too, something in the back of his mind, just settled down the moment he kissed his beautiful Dragonair Magenta. Slowly taking one hand and holding the back of her smooth scaly neck, while the other slowly slid down her back to hold her closer, even as she began to coil her lower body around him in a tight embrace, the closeness of this beautiful Pokemon with him, set his mind at ease. Before now it was as if a part of his mind cried out every day, he refused to admit his growing feelings for her, but now they were at ease. His only other fear was being discovered now, but for some reason that fear seemed trivial to how he felt for her.
They separated for air after a while, unable to keep kissing any longer, but Magenta had to commend his physical fitness tutors for giving Andrew a powerful set of lungs. They'd both held their breaths for a full ten minutes before feeling the need to breathe.
That was when she smirked and leaned in again for another kiss, only a bit more passionately, and his mouth responded in kind, smiling and meeting hers to reform their loving seal of closeness. This time however, their tongues slowly tapped at each other, greeting one another before deciding to share space in each other's homes, rubbing their soft and wet muscular bodies over each other, before twisting and contorting, tasting each other's mouth essences and feeling the bumps of one another's taste buds.
Andrew leaned forward and gently placed Magenta against the bed, even as she skillfully used her body's shape to slip 'into' his bed robe, and part it so that it only hung off him by the shoulders.
Now fully naked, she began to 'measure' his body's assets, from his thighs to his 'rod', his chest and his arms, feeling how toned he had become.
Over the years she'd seen the many 'guests' that his staff had entertained over the years. Some other rich types, acting all superior and talking about various topics like where they were planning to vacation over the weekend. She'd seen them, 'Fat Purloins' as they were dubbed, and she was glad to say he was nothing like them. He had 'some' bodyfat, what perfect man does, but after taking Karate, Kung Fu, Boxing, Ninjutsu and even Fencing lessons from his instructors while growing up, he was physically fit and well-toned to her liking.
Magenta was not the only one feeling their partner's body, as Andrew felt the silky smooth and nearly flawless scale body of his lover coiling around him and upon his hands. Her beautiful pink scales, at one point filthy and hardened from living in the wild as a Dratini, were now smooth as hardened cotton, and glittered like diamonds in the moonlight. All thanks to years of careful tending to by both Yue and Trevor, who not only cleaned her almost every day, but showed her how to properly care for her body so as to maintain her pristine look. Her soft feathery wings flapped eagerly and grew slightly from the arousal growing in her.
Once again after so long of sharing their mouths they both parted and had to pant to catch their breaths. Then Magenta smirked and slithered under him, even as he flipped over, to rest her mouth above his groin, while planting her velvety slit above his mouth.
"For tonight my love… let us be 'wild'…" She said with a smile. "Taste me now… as I taste you…"
"Magenta… you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." He said warmly.
She smirked before taking her attention to his flaccid member, giggling inward at how stubborn it was acting. All that sensual touching she had done to get it ready, and still it defied her?
'Let's see how long you last…' She thought, before taking her tongue and licking it from the base to the tip.
"Ooooooh… Magenta…" He moaned as she licked him like an ice cream cone.
Satisfied with how he reacted, she continued to assault his dick. She could smell his wonderful scent, smelling the lilac shampoo that she had grown very attracted to every night. Smelling that drove her to lick faster, wanting to feel this dick that she wished to belong to her inside of her body.
While Magenta attacked his dick, he pulled her lower body closer to him and looked at the tight slit, hidden among the small underbelly of her softest scales. He was so surprised by how 'small' it was. Despite being over thirteen feet long, and her whole body's width being over half his body's width, her slit was absolutely tiny.
"So small and yet so precious…" He said, before pulling it up to his mouth and slipping his tongue into it.
"Draaaaa!" Magenta moaned, before resuming her assault on his dick.
If Magenta's underbelly scales were her softest 'visual' scales, then the tiny scales that slowly coated the inside of her lips before melting into even softer flesh were impossible to describe. When his tongue's tip brushed the sides of them, it sent a shiver of excitement that rippled and coursed through her body. He felt it as her tongue shivered slightly with each lick.
Feeling him licking at her precious flower, something that had not gone touched or even 'noticed' until today, sent shivers of delight. She couldn't take how happy it was making her and wanted him to push even more into her. Yet she grew slightly frustrated that his dick, despite now growing harder, wasn't at full mast yet.
So, she slowly lifted it up, licking it from every angle using her expert tongue, and then wrapped it into the folds of her mouth.
"Magentaaaa… your mouth feels sooo warm…" Andrew moaned, causing her to start to bob.
Her mouth and tongue wrapped around his dick, tasting its wide girth and sending even more shivers of pleasure down her body. She could feel the veins as she sloppily lapped at his dick, only wanting more and more to go into her as she now shoved all the way to the base, taking it down her throat while suppressing her gag reflex.
This was not an easy feat, but it did the trick as she repeated the motion a few more times before it was 'fully ready'.
She slowly pulled it out, letting it leave her mouth with a nice 'pop' as she gazed at its proud nine-inch length.
She turned and slowly wiggled her tail out of Andrew's mouth, who had been enjoying tasting her 'lips' and the essence that had been flowing from it, tasting of Oran Berry Dew, something she always ate and drank at meal times.
She smirked warmly as she returned her mouth back to his, and they each shared each other's essences from their lower bodies, while she coiled her body and angled her slit to align with his dick.
Once aligned, she felt him hold her tightly, and placed one hand on her lower body, right above where they were destined to become one.
"Ready love?" He whispered.
"Ready…" She responded.
Both consenting, they kissed once more, before he slammed her down and pierced her body.
It was a moment of utter confusion for her body. In that moment where he pierced her flower, she felt the pain of her 'flower' being broken. She could feel the heat and feel every bit of his member inside of her, feel every vein as it was wrapped in such a tight embrace.
She had underestimated his girth, his length was perfect, but her passage was too small to accommodate his size properly. Yet as painful as it was, as much as it hurt her, she cried not tears of pain, but of joy.
It was as if her body 'knew' why it was hurting, and instead turned those feelings of pain into a joyous sensation.
Still it hurt like the Distortion World...
"Are you okay Magenta?"
She looked at him and nodded, before she leaned in and kissed him again.
Slowly at first, he lifted her up and gently lowered up back down, both of them ignoring the many, many lines of red seeping from where they were connected.
Her body's passage was exceptionally tight, almost 'painfully' tight, yet both of them continued on at a very slow pace, simply letting the moment carry them. They didn't have to rush it, they had all night, and they knew that once morning hit they had to act like before.
So, they relished in the slow pace, of Andrew lifting Magenta's delicate body up and lowering it back down, causing her to moan slightly in pleasure with each movement. Her passage mirrored the actions, slightly expanding to let him out, before tightening as he re-entered her. The tip of his dick would brush the outer edges of her passage, causing her to gasp in pleasure, before she moaned warmly as it pushed further inward.
"How does it feel love?" He asked.
"Woonderfuuuul…" She whispered.
She wrapped her tail tightly around his leg, using it as leverage as she re-angled her body to allow more of his dick into her body. Slowly she found an angle that achieved her goal, she felt his dick now tapping at the entrance to her womb.
"Ah~!" She moaned gleefully. "Right there… oooooooh~… yea~!"
"You just got tighter!" He groaned as he began to move faster.
Magenta could feel his dick tapping at her womb's entrance, trying to gain access, but now it was 'her' body's turn to play Giratina's advocate, and refused to obey until it was ready. He continued to hit her soft spots, again and again, causing fierce waves of pleasure that the longer she went the harder they became to resist.
After a while he gripped her and rolled them over and began pounding into her from above.
"Oh Magenta… you are so 'tight'!" He gasped as he began slamming into her, no longer pulling out of her and simply trying to hammer her entrance with his dick as hard as he could.
"I… can't!" She muttered, before at long last her entrance opened up, and his dick shoved inside. "Yeeeeeeeeeeees!"
Having gained access, the tip now refused to leave as he simply rammed her lower body into the bed, his dick not leaving or pulling out and letting the force of his thrusts give them both pleasures. Magenta gleefully panted and moaned as her womb welcomed its visitor, tightening around it and enticing it to release the cargo her body was seeking desperately. At long last she was mating, fulfilling her desire, and she couldn't be any happier.
Andrew was of the same opinion, how he'd fantasized and thought of his Dragonair in this way, wanting to caress her body, kiss her, hold her close to him. They both relished in the moment as she shoved her mouth onto his, slowed down slightly and simply tongue wrestled for a bit.
"Mmmmhmmm"
Hmmhm!"
They wrestled a little bit, their tongues maintaining their highs before they separated and he once more began to thrust her body into the bed, trying to shove as deep into her womb as their body's would allow.
"Ahhhhhhh!" She gasped, feeling the pressure on his dick, feeling it begin to pulsate and tiny drops of liquid excrete from it.
She could feel the precum, and her womb, tasting just the appetizer, was wiggling and pulsating as well, scrambling to get ready and receive the full load.
"I… I'm…" He gasped as he wrapped his arms around Magenta and held her as close as he could, thrusting as hard as he possibly could.
"Yes… yes… YEEEEEEES!" She screamed loudly, as he thrust one final time.
"AAAAAAAH!" He screamed as well and came inside of her womb.
Squirt after squirt, spurt after spurt, splash after splash of his gooey seed coated the inside of her womb, and her body welcomed every drop, pulsating and massaging his dick to entice as much as it would. They both breathed heavily, while their bodies went into automatic to compensate for the lack of direction.
His dick would pulsate, squirt some of his fluid, and her passage would tighten and pulsate in response, milking him for every drop.
After a while the final spurt, a simple drip, was expelled and was received.
Then they both collapsed into the bed, with Andrew lifting the blanket over them and letting sleep take ahold of them both.
Yet not before they both warmly smiled at each other and shared one final loving kiss.
(Yue's PoV)
"So, I 'finally' get to enter the room, after fifteen long years." Trevor stated as he unlocked the door.
"This room is only for the Goldenia's and their Dragonair partners, consider yourself lucky!" He snapped.
"Yea, and I supposed the double-quarter knot your currently tied up in doesn't give me bonus points does it?" Trevor commented with a smile.
He grumbled as he shuffled forward, not an easy thing considering he only could use a third of his entire body while tied up.
"So, where's the book, you promised I could finally read the ancestry lore." He asked him.
"Don't be hasty!" He growled, before using his tail again to push a hidden switch in a bookshelf.
The shelf slid backward, turned around, and revealed a hidden book in a large carved out hole.
On it read, 'The Diary of Angelina Goldenia'.
Trevor carefully took the book out, placed it on a table, and used his psychic powers, weak as they were, to turn the fragile pages.
"The First Goldenia… I have 'always' wanted to read this book…" Trevor said. "After you told me the history of the family, I've wanted to read the pages of Angelina to see if they were true."
"Still don't believe me even 'after' I told you?"
"Not until this moment I did… well I did I just wanted to read them with my own eyes… not yours."
'Psychic types all the same… sticking your noses in other's minds…'He thought.
(I heard that!) He giggled.
He just sat in silence as Trevor found the diary entry he was wanting to read so eagerly.
"The year 1142, dear diary… I've finally made a home for myself here in Goldenrod Village. It has been a taxing journey, the perils of the wild frightening me as I treaded the forest paths, trying vainly to stay alert and healthy while nurturing the life I carry within my belly…"
=Flashback, Angelina's PoV=
'I found a cottage I can stay in until I give birth, a kind old man offering me sanctuary until I am able to.' She thought as she wrote in her diary. 'I have taken on the name of Angelina Goldenia, a fake name, but one I hope hides who I am so that my family back home in Blackthorn, does not catch wind of where I live now.'
She looked over at the cotton filled bed and looked at the sleeping serpentine Dragon that was her lover, savior, protector, and now only hope of making a new life for herself here.
'I am still forever happy to have been rescued by my companion, this Dragonair… whom I have elected to bestow the name of 'Godfrey', the name of the man who stood up for both of us when my sad excuse for a state was discovered that dreadful day. I cannot believe I am forced to run and hide, to avoid the 'marriage' my family would force me go through, so as to preserve 'family honor'. Family honor, they know not what that means, how fair is it to force a girl, her purity violated, now believing to carry a bastard's child, be forced to 'marry' that bastard just to save their face in the public eye!'
She smiled a little as she rubbed her belly, feeling the life kicking within her, knowing its true father was nearby, and feeling happy that she was happy.
'Thankfully, Godfrey, was there to save me. Arceus bless him, having been my childhood friend since simple youth, innocent girlhood and sacred maidenhood, until the night my life was turned asunder. When those two vile men, leading me astray in innocent youth, at the young age of fourteen, defiled and robbed me of my chastity and sense of dignity. Yet though the act was carried out, Godfrey found me in time, sensing I was nearby, and assaulted and drove the men off, one of whom died of fatal injuries. Yet the bastard who first took me escaped, a noble of all things, young and seeking pleasures of a peasant girl.'
She sighed to herself as she turned the page and continued writing, dipping her Spearow Feather Quill into the ink.
'Yet Godfrey, established some strange connection to me, using whatever power he contains in that crystal upon his neck. He offered me a way to save my body the horror of the nightmare that was, even as he spoke, attempting to implant itself upon me. He offered to become my 'mate', and vowed if I accepted, he would forever stay by my side, until death did us part. Feeling his sincerity, and purity of love, I accepted… and he too planted into me that which the man before forced upon me.'
When the deed discovered, they assumed I had been assaulted by Godfrey, yet with assurance, and violent demonstration, it was believed not to be, and the real culprit soon found. Yet the first signs of the baby appeared months later, and the marriage proposal was made, in an attempt to hide the dishonor of being forced to carry a bastard's child. Yet I refused, and with Godfrey by my side, fled to this small village, far away from the mountains overlooking home.'
'I can't help but wonder, how it is Godfrey knows the child I carry is his, how can he be so certain? Is it some special gift of his species, some magic he possesses, or is it something that only the angels of Arceus know, whispering into his ears that give him such confidence? When I asked this of him, he simply declared that the child is his, with nary a doubt in his eyes.'
She dipped her quill one more time and wrote down…
'If so, then I beg to Arceus, bestow upon me the knowledge, so that I too may not feel the twisted coil of fear upon my mind and heart. For Godfrey, being a creation of Arceus, and not a man, would be condemned by my kind and slaughtered like a Magikarp upon a stake. And I, his now loyal wife, would be burned upon the pyre for committing such a sin. I pray for this knowledge because it will forever ease my pain and give to me the eternal lord Arceus' strength to see the coming days and the trials that will come…'
=Flashback Ends Yue's PoV=
"I also pray that, should the child truly be his, that Arceus may bless me with a gift, for that should it be true, all who follow my line, will also follow my decision and seek out one of Godfrey's kind, and take into them their lives and hearts and forever bind our two species together in life. For as Godfrey has become my heart, my soul now binds itself to Godfrey's."
He closed the book gently and glanced at Yue.
"So… 'was' the child Godfrey's?" He asked.
"Yep… one hundred percent!" Yue said with a smile.
"But how did they tell?"
He grinned and looked at the paintings and pointed at the eyes, starting with Angelina Goldenia and then moving onto her daughter, Paulina Goldenia. "Their eyes… each Goldenia or Dragonair who descends in the line, carries the eyes of their parents, one a Dragonair, the other the human. It also helps that… heh heh, male Dragonair sperm works 'faster' than human sperm when it comes to making a baby." He stated. "Godfrey also… used a bit of the power he had stored in his jewel and instilled into the genes, that he passed into his child, all the way down to Andrew, an 'urge' to seek out a potential Dratini or Dragonair mate. Starts around the age of seven or eight, when they want to have a pet Dratini, and from there A leads to B."
He looked around at all of the Goldenia heads, each one having two different eye colors. Any time a Human didn't share the gene, it was shown by their Dragonair Partners, who showed the eye color variation. While the 'humans' were labeled as heads of the family, the true 'head' was whoever carried the gene of 'Godfrey', and simply let the human be in charge by granting them the title.
"But what about image, wouldn't someone get suspicious after a few generations of this going on?" Trevor asked.
"The third Goldenia, Gilford Goldenia, solved that issue by having a 'marriage proposal', and from then on the practice of marrying or adopting outside of the family to 'carry on the family name' began." He explained. "This solved the issue when female Dragonairs mated with the Goldenia human male heads. They would 'adopt' a child, and name 'them' head of the family, if the Dratini liked them. The gene worked the same in Dratinis and Dragonairs, but in reverse…"
"I see… so when are you going to tell Andrew that his 'real' father is alive and well, and that his 'father figure' is really just 'my' trainer who was good friends with Jessabelle, and married just to keep her secret safe?" Trevor chided him as they left.
"When he's ready to learn the truth…" He sighed sadly, even though he wanted nothing more than to claim Andrew as his rightful son. "Until then… I'm friend… and servant… so no blabbing, got it?"
Trevor giggled and bowed to the elder Pokemon. "As you wish, 'Lord Yue'."
"AND WILL YOU PLEEEEEEEASE UNDO THIS KNOT YOU TIED ME IN!" He begged. "I think I'm losing feeling in my lungs!"
