A secret one keeps to themselves is a secret one often deeply wishes to share, if just so that it no longer remains a secret anymore. Deep inside our hearts we may admire one for reasons that on the surface, seem rather mundane or surface level, compared to how we perceive them within our minds. Yet no matter what one may think of beyond the confines of our hearts or minds, they cannot understand, nor comprehend, just how important those 'surface level' feelings of affection and admiration… translates into the purest or strongest of a feeling that we can express…

[Narrator]
[The Hisui Region, far off into the future, this region will be known as the great land of Sinnoh, featuring great cities, wonderful landscapes, boasting some of the strongest trainers and Pokemon to be found in any region in the world. A beautiful world where names such as Cynthia are household and ring a bell in the minds of trainers in distant lands. Trainers far and wide, beyond every hill and valley, and wonderful myths and legends with a rich history and culture as far back as history can recall…]
[But until then, this land of Hisui is just home to a few small pocket outposts spread out along the vast wildlands, a few tiny and sparsely populated villages that one can count on one hand, and only a 'few' trainers brave enough, strong enough, and versed enough in Pokemon so as to not be afraid of them.]
[Starting in Jubilife Village, or from the Diamond or Pearl Clan villages, those few people brave enough to explore and venture into the wilds risk their very lives to learn and understand the countless Pokemon that dot the land, sea and skies of the region! These individuals are known… as Pokemon Wielders, those who can wield the might, loyalty, and power of these great creatures, are the only ones who feel safe enough to venture forth into the unknown wilderness.]
[At least… that's MOST of them!]
(Everett's PoV)
The wind was slow and steady as it pushed and whipped the snow around him, even as he shivered and clutched his snow blanket while he hid next to a rock overlooking a cliff and observing everything below him. From his vantage point he could see the sight of several Pokemon down below him, all of them Gibles or Gabites, and all of them staring each other down as they surrounded a Braviary.
The bird Pokemon was unfortunately dead, another fallen creature in the Alabaster Icelands. These frozen lands were rich in snow, ice, rock, Pokemon, competition for food and a lack of mercy for those unable to survive out here. This particular Braviary was one that he'd been observing for the past few weeks, and he'd been expecting it to die some time ago because of how sick it had been. It was a good thing he didn't know it personally, as he might have felt sad to see its body lying there in the snow, having fallen out of a tree when it died. For a long time he wanted to try and save it, to help it, but every time he even showed himself it spotted him and took off, fearing for its life. Now however, since it was dead, he could at least observe how the group of Gibles and Gabites behave when food is found and none of them want to share.
"This species line is very territorial even in earlier stages of its evolution line, loners by nature, and are very unwilling to share anything in regard to food with others of the species that are not in their immediate family, specifically siblings, offspring or parents…" He noted as he wrote down his observations while the group continued to growl, show off their teeth, claws, and stomp in an attempt to intimidate each other away from the food.
He watched a Gabite try to step closer, and another Gabite roared and swung at it, forcing it to back away, before it too backed away as it did not wish to expose itself to danger from the others.
"Stalemate, when they are confronted with too many members of their own kind, this species will not become aggressive in an attempt to enter the engagement last out of fear of losing the prize, in this case being 'food'." He noted as he watched a large form approaching from the opposite side of the tree, concealed because of all the snow and rocks. "There she is… how 'does' she keep herself hidden from view? She doesn't blend in with the snow, this snow has to be hurting her… and she's so large… the benefits of being an Alpha I guess."
Indeed, as he observed he could see stealthily making her way toward the food, and the group of Gabites and Gibbles was probably the scariest creature one could see in these lands, standing almost 3 meters tall, with dark blue scaly hide, fin-like protrusions on its arm and a tail ending in fish-like fins, sharpened spikes and a terrifying array of teeth, strode an Alpha Garchomp. She was by far the strongest, scariest, most terrifying specimen in the Alabaster Icelands that he'd seen, and he was constantly pushing his luck trying to find it and learn about it. He knew it was dangerous, difficult, life threatening and possibly the stupidest thing one could do… but the people of Hisui had to know what it was capable of so that they would not be afraid of it and its species, and more importantly knew what to do or what it could do should they ever encounter it.
This Garchomp was powerful, strong, and finally surprisingly stealthy as she stayed low to the ground, seemingly unaware or unconcerned with the freezing temperatures of its surroundings as it slowly approached the group. As she drew closer, he watched as she bent low and began to crawl through the snow, only her back spike and the top of her head being visible, both of which were obscured by the rocks and tree, keeping her hidden from the 'still' arguing and fighting Gibles and Gabites.
After a few moments she paused, and then leapt up, charged and swiped at two Gibles and a Gabite, before roaring and displaying her power with several stomps, using such force that even up on the ledge he felt the aftershocks of her powerful 'Earthquake' if he recognized it.
Seeing her power, seeing the Alpha was 'not' interested in sharing, and knowing they had no hope of fighting her, the other Gibles and Gabites began to leave. The wounded ones limping away and not even looking back as they fled as fast as their feet could, while the others who could occasionally turned to see if she wasn't paying attention, which she was. Only when the sight was cleared… did she turn and start to dig into her food.
"Well… now's my best chance…" He muttered as he slowly, with careful motion, edged his way down the cliff to get a better inspection of the Garchomp.
If someone from the Diamond Clan saw him trying to climb down from his nice, safe, cliffside position where he could 'safely' observe the Garchomp as it ate its meal that it 'just' scared off an entire pack of other members of its species to take for itself, they would think he was crazy, brave, foolish, or some combination of all three. Truth was, he wasn't afraid of it, he wasn't scared of Pokemon at all, he didn't exactly know it himself, but he was not afraid of Pokemon like many other people were. He was honest about being able to fend for himself in the wilds away from, well what one would call civilization.
The reason for this, he was 'not' from Hisui… he wasn't even from this time period. He was what one would call… a 'time traveler'. He couldn't remember where he was from, what time period he came from, who he was or what he was like before he woke up here. Everything was such a blur, and the harder he tried to remember the more his head hurt.
When the Diamond clan found him, they said he was found near where a 'space/time distortion' appeared. He was barely alive, battered and scratched, beaten and clinging to life, but he was 'alive'.
They told him he was not the first, he probably would not be the last either. He tried to remember who he was, where he was from, but nothing helped, and he couldn't remember anything. So, they gave him a name, Everett, and to help them he became a scout for the Diamond Clan, going out and exploring various regions outside of their small village to learn more about Pokemon for the people.
Everett, that became his name, and as for an age they 'guessed' he was about 29 years old. He was mostly white, stood about 2 meters in height, had dark brown eyes with pitch black hair, but other than that, he was basically a nobody here.
At first, they tried to send him with another scout, but as if it were second nature, that night he left and three weeks later came back with observations, artistic renditions, and notes regarding the countless species of Pokemon from the nearby mountain and forest range for them.
It was almost like, simply being told what his task was, awakened something in him and his body just acted upon it without realizing.
Whatever it was, they were more surprised that he could handle himself 'without' a partner Pokemon to assist him. When asked why he took such a huge risk, he simply said, he knows Pokemon aren't scary, and he never had one to begin with. Though again, as he said it, it felt like he was saying something automatically… which raised even more questions about his past.
'But I can think on that later…' He thought as he slowly and carefully edged closer and closer to the Garchomp as it ate its meal.
He slow-crawled, using the snow as much as his sense of timing to approach the creature as she ate. He knew not to mess with a Garchomp when it was eating, and he knew just how territorial this species was. He also knew from personal experience, having felt her power, just how dead he would be if he got too close to her. He kept waiting until the wind blew, making sure he was following its path so that his scent would not be carried by it, and watching for when she was eating so her ears would be more filled with the sound of her mouth eating food than hearing him potentially crawling through snow.
Suddenly she stopped and looked around, and he held very still, bending low and feeling his fingers freezing, but he refused to shiver, even if he was shaking every second. Whatever agony his body was feeling from the gold, the snow, and anything else from his surroundings was nothing compared to being perceived as a threat to this Pokemon and its meal. If he was spotted, she'd be his next meal, and he'd be 'fresher' then the one she was currently feasting on.
She slowly glanced around, sniffed the air, before returning to chowing down.
'She's always on alert… not even eating breaks her concentration of observing her surroundings…' He thought as he silently began writing down notes into his tiny book, observing everything around her no matter what.
Deep down he knew, if he were any other person from the Diamond Clan, they would be dead by now. Nobody else could get this close to a Garchomp while it was eating food to observe its eating habits, let alone be able to write about it, draw it, and live to tell the tale.
'She's a beautiful specimen, when it comes to Garchomps I've yet to observe one as strong, alert, or as stealthy as hers. I wonder if this cold climate makes them hardier than their more mountain-based cousins?' He thought quietly.
(Garchomp's PoV)
She ate her meal after checking her surroundings for any potential threats, not to 'her'… but to her 'observer' who was currently buried in the snow and concealing himself as best he could.
It was very admirable that the human was willing to risk getting 'this' close to her after the fierce display of power she'd done to win this meal.
'For a human he's far stronger than the others' She thought as she pretended to struggle with a piece of meat, resulting in her shifting her position to get a 'slightly' better view of her observer. 'He's been watching and observing me for the past few weeks, and he's continued to come out here for years. Not many humans can survive out here alone, 'without' aid.'
She'd observed many humans out here in these frozen lands, some simply acting as sentries, others seemingly looking and lying in wait to attack passersby. But nearly all of them only did so out here with the aid of help, specifically from one of the creatures that roamed these lands. She'd observed the occasional Nobles aiding a particular human, but she always left them alone for the sake of surviving out here.
She couldn't spare energy to investigate or learn more about these humans, but recently…
'This one is different.' She thought as she had her fill of her food and left what remained of the meal in the snow for the 'others' to pick from.
Then she took a very slight glance at her observer and began making her way to her small cave home where she could get away from the freezing cold. While the cold bothered her, she couldn't show weakness out here, life out here did not offer sympathy for those who didn't like the conditions. Not a day went by where she did not struggle to find food, enough to sustain her. She had to keep her strength up, she was an Alpha, she was the strongest, and she could not show 'any' signs of weakness or… her life was forfeit.
As she walked through the snow, a blizzard began to blow, and she looked around for threats concealing themselves in the snowstorm to try and attack her. But all she saw, for the tiniest of instances, was her observer, following in her tracks, using her own path she was making in the snow to conceal his approach while using his 'blanket' to conceal himself in the snow from her vision.
However, she saw him, and again, she admired him for being able to not only 'follow' her but to also remain undetected until she actively looked for him. Not many humans would even 'dare' to approach her under these conditions, let alone follow her for such a long time.
He was no threat to her, she was well aware of that, if he had wanted to hurt her, he could have tried countless times. The reason he was stalking her was a mystery, but the fact that he could follow her and 'would' follow her this long was admirable. She was impressed the longer she considered just how long he'd been observing and following her.
'Under these conditions, a lesser human would have turned tail and crawled back into their little homes… but this one…' She thought as she marched on, pretending not to have spotted him and looking at a group of Murkrow that were crowing and seeking shelter from the snow in the distance.
On she marched, through the snow, ignoring the stabbing pains that were constant, trying to hide the unending burning feeling as she just 'dealt' with her environment. She could migrate, she'd thought about doing it as she neared her cave, and she knew that no matter where she went, she'd be the strongest Alpha in that area probably. Very few creatures could live in this area and maintain their strength to her levels while surviving under these cold conditions, let alone her kind that so deeply feared and disliked the cold. Most Gibles and Gabites die in this frozen environment, very few could survive out here.
In fact, that large group she saw probably 'was' every member of her species that were trying to survive out here, with exception to maybe one or two Garchomps that she was aware of. But she was an Alpha, the strongest of them all, she'd ascended to her position by becoming stronger, using her strength and power to fight, literally, tooth and claw to survive out here. However, she knew she could not leave here, as that would be weakness… the strong do not survive by going to more 'ideal' conditions to live, they thrive and survive no matter their conditions.
So, she stayed… if she could not survive here, she did not deserve to survive elsewhere.
As she entered her cave and sighed in relief from the cold, she took a sniff, and smelled… 'him'.
'He's still following me?' She thought as she kept walking into the cave and looked for her favorite spot to curl up and rest.
The cold had made her tired, and the food in her belly also tired her out, a rest was in order, so she found her small corner of the cave where she could curl up and rest while making sure she could observe the entrance if needed. There were a few rocks and boulders in the cave, and she could hear the human faintly walking, running, or even crouching from hiding spot to hiding spot, drawing closer and closer to him while she kept her eyes closed.
'He's brave… brave to be walking into my cave.' She thought with grin as she smelled him drawing as close as he could, while still being hidden.
Out of curiosity she slowly opened her eye, just a crack to look, and there she saw him, crouching behind the boulder nearest her, observing her, doing something with a little object in his hands. Whatever it was, it seemed harmless enough, she'd seen it many times when he was observing the other creatures of this landscape, she'd stalked 'him' a few times herself out of curiosity to see what he was up to. Every time she saw it, he seemed to be jotting down… stuff… into its contents, even seeing little images of what he was observing.
She figured today it was her turn to be jotted down into that little thing.
'Very well… do as you like human…' She thought with a giggle, deciding to aid him a little.
She rolled over onto her back, pretending to snore and showed off her best assets to him, her sharp talons, her powerful legs, her tough hide, her beautiful spikes, her proud tail…
She was very proud of her body, she was proud of every part of her, she was truly the strongest of all Garchomps, she was the 'alpha' of alphas for her kind, there wasn't a single part of her that did not scream she was the best of her kind! If this human desired to observe her and take in her glory for himself, or whatever it was he was doing, then he could do so with her blessings. After all, he was brave enough to survive out here too, he was smart enough to avoid being killed without help unlike those 'other' humans, and he was able to track her and follow her without her noticing, with exception to the occasional slip up on his part.
The only shame... the only thing marring her happy thoughts, as she growled to herself, causing her secret observer to hide away until she was calm again…
Was that she was alone… she could feel it, her species' heat season was approaching, a time where those of her kind sought out mates to try breed, procreate, and above all spread the best genes of her species to each other and ensure future generations of her kind would have the best qualities, and above all 'chances' to survive.
Already her instincts were driving her to begin searching for a potential mate, test them, and then mate with them so that the next generation would be as strong, if not stronger than her.
The problem, all of the others around here were 'weak' by comparison. That group of Gibles and Gabites were pathetically weak, if they had all attacked her together, instead of thinking for themselves they 'might' have scared her away. She didn't need all of that meat, and they certainly could have shared it between them…
Heck with how long they spent arguing with each other trying to keep it all for themselves, they could have all eaten it together and walked away with full bellies in the time it took for her to sneak up and scare them all away. And the few Garchomps that were out here in this frozen land were complete weaklings by comparison to her. Oh, sure they were able to survive just as her, but the few males out here were nothing by comparison to her. She knew her eggs deserved better than just 'another' Garchomp's genes. Her offspring needed something special… unique… something that would give them the best chance of survival in the future, and then 'their' future generations, and 'their' future generations as long as her bloodline could go.
If strength was all that was needed to survive…
She sniffed the air and noticed a slight lack of her human observer's scent.
She opened her eyes and saw a small trail of footsteps leaving the cave, he'd left her alone.
'He's quite quiet, I was listening intently that entire time, and yet he didn't even let me know he'd left…'She thought warmly. 'Hmmm, I wonder what he's going to do now?'
She figured he might go back to his den or wherever he went to rest, perhaps even to eat…
She got up and decided to stalk 'him' now, see what he ate, where he slept. He did the same to her, it was only fair right?
With that she stepped out of the cave and began quietly following his scent while avoiding alerting him if he should be watching for her.
(Everett's PoV)
He slowly made his way through the snowy hills as the blizzard began to pick up and grow worse, making it difficult for him to find his way, but he was able to keep track of the various landmarks he'd jotted down so he could find his way back to the campsite.
Camp, or as he called it 'homebase' was just a triangular tent hanging from two trees and pinned down in the ground atop a hill, but it was currently being covered in snow, resulting in it being quite the slog to clear the entrance so he could seek shelter.
For a moment he thought he felt a pair of eyes watching him, but he shrugged it off, a quick surveillance showed that he was alone. Plus, this weather was horrible for anything that was 'not' an ice type, and the only Pokemon in this region that were truly at home in a blizzard were Sneasel and Sneasler, Snowrunts and Glalies, and maybe the occasional Mamoswine/Piloswine herd.
Inside his tent he sighed as he shivered and wrapped himself in the warm blanket while opening a small can of food.
He couldn't start a fire, which he wished sorely for in this weather, because he did not want to risk attracting attention from local Pokemon to his campsite.
"Lousy meal…" He muttered bitterly as he ate the canned berries, wishing for some nice steaming hot Magikarp or Remoraid meat.
Cold Berries that were days old, what a lovely dinner.
"Alright, let's see… Garchomp again." He said as he opened his booklet. "Sustains itself on a diet of mostly meat with berries acting as a substitute, implying an omnivore status. When it has eaten its fill, it leaves whatever remaining meat it ate to be either picked at by other nearby species or to rot. Upon eating its fill, depending on the weather conditions, it may return to a roaming state to protect its territory or return to its domain to rest and sleep in conjunction with the food it has eaten. Upon finding a safe location to rest, it drops its guard while sleeping, however even in a calm environment and quiet state, it's guard remains active as it listens for potential intruders."
He flipped the page and examined the drawing of his Garchomp specimen.
"The following specimen is a 'female' Garchomp, Alpha type, known to be the strongest members of the species and should be highly regarded as dangerous and very territorial. Do not approach if a similar specimen is spotted without a Pokemon partner, especially if the creature is roaming its territory for food. Specimens of the species are known to have extremely sharpened claws and talons, a rough hide capable of withstanding considerable damage and powerful muscles."
The drawing of the Garchomp was very detailed, as he had plenty of time to draw her figure as she lay on her back for him. He'd been able to articulate her strong legs, her sharp talons, her wing-like claws and her tail. Though the one thing he'd spared from his illustration, was the fact that the angle she'd given him gave her a perfect view of her fem-hood.
Even though he 'knew' she probably didn't intend it for him, the fact that after a few minutes she'd spread her legs slightly more, as if trying to get him to see her clearly, was very humorous. If he didn't know that she was asleep, he might have considered it her way of enticing him. But for the sake of her 'modesty', he did not show her privates in his booklet drawing.
"Garchomp… I think I've learned all I could about this species. Now I just need to figure out why I devoted over thirty pages to Garchomp alone." He said to himself. "Tomorrow I can finish up with the Mamoswine and Piloswine herd."
Outside the blizzard blew on, whipping his tent and throwing snow everywhere as he closed the tent and buckled down into the night. It would be a lonely night for him, but he knew he had to endure… just one more species and he could head back to the Diamond Clan with his findings. Being a scout and working for food, lodgings, and 'some' money was an… okay life all thing's considered.
It wasn't like working for the Galaxy Expedition Team who paid their members quite handsomely for risking their lives, even if they had Pokemon, but at least he had a purpose.
"Just… why can't I remember anything about myself?" He said to himself. "Who was I before I came here? Just go tomorrow… Mamoswine herd…"
As he tried to sleep, ignoring the cold and the bristling wind of the blizzard, outside a Garchomp observed his small camp, and snuck closer to listen to him snoring in bed as he tried to sleep as comfortably as possible.
His dreams were filled with hazy fog and weird sounds, but no matter how much his mind tried, he could not find anything more and simply left itself to be hazy and unknown until morning came.
The next morning, he woke up weary and tired, eating only a small snack of berries, just barely before they were frostbitten, and then proceeded to head out of his campsite once he cleared a path through the snowfall.
The blizzard had been nasty, his tent was practically half buried in a full blanket of snow, he had to wade through it chest high until he could clear a path away from his tent to begin heading for the glacial spire where the Mamoswine and Piloswines roamed. The weather was so much calmer compared to yesterday, and it was quite the scene to see so much sparkling snow as he walked. The fresh cold air was very nice to him as he walked on, despite the temperature it was much easier to endure the climate when there wasn't blistering winds and snow blasting your face as you walked.
Still, as pleasant as the scenery was, he had a task to do, even if he just gave it to himself so he wouldn't dwell on the thoughts of why he came here, how he came here, or what he was 'before' he came here. Better to know you have a job to do and be doing it, then to waste time and energy trying to figure something out that wouldn't come to him no matter how hard he tried.
So, with a calm breath he marched on, still unaware that behind him, a pair of eyes observed him walking in the snow.
Over an hour of walking and he 'eventually' made his way to that glimmering ice sculpture surrounded by mountains and pillars of ice, supposedly the resting place of the previous lord of these lands. He could only imagine just how 'big' it was, or how big it could be to leave a grave that big. Still, he kept his wits about him as he used his blanket to slowly inch his way closer to the herd as it made its way into the area. His blanket was colored and created in such a way that in these lands it would look like a pile of snow when angled properly. With this he was able to creep closer and closer, carefully observing his position and making sure the herd did not notice him moving around, a difficult task considering the Alpha of the group was being wary and observing everything around them.
"Mamoswine… over two meters tall… the Alpha of the species has been observed to be close to four meters. Tusks reaching over three meters in length if straight and ending in sharp points. Thick bodies of fur protect them from the cold, and with powerful leg muscles allow them to plow their way through the snow with little to no effort. Piloswine of the species, while being smaller and with tusks less developed, are capable of withstanding the cold just as effectively, however Piloswines lacking the ability to push through the snow as effectively, prefer to follow in the wake of the more evolved members of the herd." He muttered as he watched the herd.
He focused on drawing the creatures now, making careful notes about their movement habits and how they interacted with each other.
"Other notes… the tusks, despite looking like bone, are actually 'ice'… still unclear as to how the Ice is able to remain attached to the body and do not melt, as outside of a cold climate environment this species 'can' be seen in warmer environments, notably seen in the care of Pokemon Wielders. Perhaps the tusks of ice are 'encompassing' bone?"
He was very curious now, as he did not know if the Pokemon's tusks were truly just pure ice, or were ice covered bone, he decided to try and investigate.
Right now, he knew, as he slowly inched closer to one of the Mamoswines, which unfortunately turned out to be the 'Alpha'… if anyone from the Diamond Clan were there, they would be saying he was insane to take this risk. What good was going to find out if Mamoswine's or Piloswine's tusks being made of pure ice or not, if he ended up dead? Plus, what was the benefit or point of finding out something so completely insignificant as if a Mamoswine's tusks were pure ice or ice coated bone?
He wasn't sure if there was any benefit, but he had a job assigned to him by the Diamond Clan, to aid in the creation of the Pokedex, and to that end he needed to collect as much information as possible.
Besides he was already this close... he might as well go all the way.
He was slow in his approach, seeing the giant mammoth pokemon before him, it huffed and turned to stare at him, resulting in him hold very… very still. Its eyes watched his little blanket, observant and watchful, but he did not move for fear of causing it to react and realize he was there. For now, it probably just thought something was off about the snow and was being watchful for the sake of the herd.
"Mroaaaaam…" It growled as it stomped and walked away, ignoring him now.
He took a quiet breath of air as he felt the sweat falling from his face, he did 'not' need to take this risk… and what did he honestly learn… nothing about the tusks.
"Note, do not approach wild Mamoswine herds without a partner…" He quietly whispered as he wrote his findings while 'still' hiding in the middle of the herd. "Also… make sure to empty your bladder if you intend to draw close without one and master the art of being 'still'."
He was quiet as he continued to hide under his blanket in the snow, before he glanced around him and slowly reopened his book to write down an additional note.
"Still not sure if tusks are made of pure ice or not, too risky at this time to investigate deeper."
Again, while he huddled in the snow freezing and being concealed by his blanket, he was still unaware of a set of eyes watching him closely, thoroughly impressed at his ability to remain calm despite being surrounded on all sides.
After a while he soon realized the herd was 'not' going anywhere anytime soon, and so he slowly, carefully, meticulously crawled his way away from the herd. After he was a safe distance away he made his way back to his camp to catalogue his findings and decide what he was going to do next.
"I've pretty much gotten all I am going to get out of the Pokemon in this area, I only needed to check out the Mamoswine and Piloswine herd to finish off my report for this outing. Now I can go home." He muttered as he packed his few belongings into his pack. "I can head home now."
After packing everything up he curled up on his little blanket for comfort while opening up and looking at his little book where he'd stored information for the largest, and probably strongest specimen he'd seen out here in the Alabaster Icelands, the Alpha Garchomp.
She certainly was something, he had studied the Garchomps, Gabites and Gibles in the mountainous region around the foot of Mt Sinnoh. Those species there were hardy, dangerous, and more numerous than they were here in the Icelands. Most notably because they were extremely weak to Ice Types and did not enjoy being in the icy cold tundra of this area. He knew from observations that the species line did not handle the cold at all, their duo nature of being a ground and dragon typing made it so that 'any' ice was practically fatal to them. And yet… at least 'one' particular Garchomp not only survived out here, but apparently was thriving to the point it was classified as an Alpha, the strongest of all members of its species in an area.
Alpha Pokemon were not to be messed with, many alphas were fearsome and commanded loyalty and respect from herds of their fellows, many gathered in an area with them for protection and strength.
"But this one is alone… why is she alone?" He asked as he looked at her image that he'd drawn. "She's an Alpha, she could have her own collection of males following her… and yet she is alone."
This Garchomp was extremely beautiful as far as Garchomps went, she was powerful, she was a survivor, she was also smart, and she was able to survive in an environment where others of her kind were struggling. Not just survive… 'thrive'… she was an Alpha, she wasn't starving, she wasn't afraid for her life, she walked where she wanted and no Pokemon challenged her. The only real threats were probably the aforementioned ice types, and maybe the nobles of the area.
"I wonder what kind of mate she's looking for?" He asked out of curiosity. "I've seen the Garchomps and Gabites finding mates in past seasons in the other area, and even here. But I've never seen her with a male in the times I've seen her, and the species does not eat food just to regurgitate it for their young… so why does she live alone out here, what is she looking for in a mate? Don't the males and females of a species seek out strong members of their own kind to pass on their genes, so their offspring have the best chance to survive?"
"Based on what I've seen, they always tend to fight and prove who's the strongest, and then if a female or male liked the partner's display they would mate. But… I've never seen her with another Garchomp."
He sighed as he smiled at that, imagining a girl like this Garchomp and trying to get into said Garchomp's mindset, knowing her value and not willing to settle for anything less than what she deemed 'worthy'.
But, as he admired his drawing of her, he had to admit that she was 'beautiful' for any creature. She wasn't cruel, she wasn't malicious, she was strong, and she was kind. He once observed her while she was patrolling her territory after dinner consisting of a Magikarp she'd fished out of the frozen water, which had to be 'excruciating' considering he couldn't take it anymore than she could, and she already probably didn't like the snow. She was patrolling her area and she came across a Sneaseler, lying wounded on the ground.
The Sneaseler looked weak and was bleeding, and it looked ready to fight, preferring to die than become a meal without a struggle. Instead, the Garchomp had knocked it out without much effort, and dragged it toward the nearby Pearl Settlement, and roared to get their attention, before leaving the Sneaseler to them. It had been an act of kindness, as after he investigated, he'd learned that they'd saved the Sneaseler's life, and to repay them it now helped them with getting various herbs that grew atop the mountainside thanks to the nearby hot springs.
She had hurt the poor creature even though it was injured, but it did so in order to save its life.
He was also compelled to help it as he spotted the poor Sneaseler, but she'd beat him to the punch, literally.
It probably could have 'talked' it out, but… perhaps in these lands where it was a struggle just to live another hour, it was better to knock out the Sneaseler than to try and talk with a creature already fearing for its life and perceiving her to be a threat.
He liked that about the Garchomp, not the knocking out part to save a life, but that even though she didn't 'need' to, she still went out of her way to save another creature's life.
He glanced at his little clock and saw that it was getting late, so after a quick meal of what remained of his provisions to 'stay' here, he tucked himself in and went to bed. Still completely unaware that he had been watched until he turned off the light.
The next morning, he packed his pack and took down his temporary tent, wrapping it up and strapping it to his pack so that he could carry everything on his way back to the nearest Galaxy Expedition outpost. From there he was planning to head back to Jubilife Village and then from there, head back to where he lived at the Diamond Clan settlement.
After that he can rest for a day or two before heading out for his next scouting assignment.
As he walked, he thought about that, what he was going to do next… go on another scouting assignment, was that 'really' all he had to look forward to going back? Just another job, another mission, another venture into the wild where he would have to get close to Pokemon that other people were too scared to approach, just because they didn't know much about them? What kind of life is that, and above all… what was he going to do with his life if the day came where he was no longer needed to act as a scout?
Sooner or later, they will learn everything they can about the region, the Pokemon in it… and when that happens, he will no longer have a purpose and then what? He had no memory of his life before; he couldn't go back or even figure out 'how' to go back even if he could remember what he was like. What was he going to do when that inevitable day came, and he was left with just the unending circle of thoughts about his previous life, his current life, and his future life to fill his mind without the distraction of a job to keep him busy?
He sighed as he shook his head, pausing as he glanced at the mountain, where to this day a time rift still circled it. A rift in the sky… he didn't come from a rift, he came from a distortion… and based on what he was aware of, those things were not to be fooled with. One only went in when they were determined to go in despite the risk to their life, or the potential chance of never returning from where they had come from.
"I have nobody in my life…" He said out loud as reality once again began hitting him.
He had 'nobody' to go back to, even in the Diamond Clan settlement. Even if he went back, nobody was there 'waiting' for him, besides Adaman the head of the clan awaiting his little booklet of knowledge from his excursion. Then he would go back to his lodgings, rest up, before gathering supplies again and heading out after a few days to the next location he wanted him to look for.
He sighed again… he was alone, he had nobody to welcome him back home, nobody eagerly waiting for him to return with tales or to share a calm moment with him. He had no girlfriend, no 'friends'… all he had was, 'this'…
"What am I doing with my life?" He whispered quietly as he walked on, trying to push away the thoughts, but they didn't leave. "I can't keep going out here forever, sooner or later I'll have to do something else. But… I can't 'do' anything else, I have nothing else to live for besides… what was I like before, why can I survive out in the wilderness without any difficulty and approach wild Pokemon so dangerous even 'Wardens' won't approach them without partners, while I'm alone! Why do I have no qualm or issues with venturing into the wilds, but I can't bring myself to live a quiet life in a village like other people can? Why do I feel like helping every Pokemon I find but refuse to take one as a partner for myself?!"
He took a deep calming breath as he looked forward and marched on, but as he did, he felt his survival instincts kick in and suddenly he was on high alert. He looked around and saw nothing around him, but he knew for a fact that it didn't mean he wasn't being watched. He could feel it, sense it, his mind was 'screaming' that he wasn't alone, that something was watching him. Something was out there, and it was just 'waiting', waiting for what he didn't know, but he knew that they were keeping an eye on him.
He listened, he took a sniff in the air, he looked at his surroundings, but again he saw, heard and smelled nothing to warrant his sudden alertness to his immediate safety. But he knew… again how he didn't know, but he 'knew' that if his instincts were telling him to run… heed them.
As if his body were on automatic, he immediately dropped the tent that he'd been carrying and emptied his pack of anything that wasn't a booklet containing his studies. Cans of food, tools, even his spare clothes, anything to make his pack lighter was lost so that he could move faster as he began making his way down the snowy hill in the direction of the Galaxy Expedition Outpost. He knew of a large gorge that was impassable to non-flying Pokemon, and Pokemon that could jump the distance. Otherwise, people had to climb down into the valley before using a nearby frozen cave system to return to the surface.
He knew that the snow would slow him down, and while he was running the weight would weigh him down and cause him to sink with every step, thus slowing him further. So, in order to make himself lighter and make it easier to run, he dropped everything that was not of long-term value to him. He could restock on supplies from the outpost, he could get new clothes from Jubilife Village, he could do all of that 'after' he was safe and sound, right now he just had to run.
So, he ran, what he ran from he didn't know but he just knew that something was following him and so he ran.
He saw the gorge up ahead as he used his momentum to slide down a hill, leaping forward and letting his back and rear act as a sled so that when he reached the bottom, he instantly could get back up and run without losing any momentum. It was a good thing he was in a snowy environment, if he were in the mud he would have sunk instantly, in the grass he might have stumbled and hit a rock, and if he'd been near the ocean this probably might not have been possible. However, as he ran forward and headed toward the cave, he heard stomping and turned to see just in time a flash of blue, red and rough scaly dragon-hide…
Before everything went dark.
(Multi PoV, many hours later, Everett)
Everett slowly came to as he felt his head slowly returning to full consciousness. He blinked several times as he looked around and got his bearings. Sure enough, he knew he wasn't outside in the snow anymore, he was lying on his back in a dark cave, a very familiar looking cave now that he looked around. It seemed however, that he was seeing a special 'part' of the cave, as it was deeper in comparison to where he'd been able to venture before.
He was inside the Alpha Garchomp's den, deeper than what he'd been able to observe as he looked around. He could see the exit in the distance; however he was sitting in a corner next to a small underground hot spring, which explained 'why' she used this cave as her den, it was probably one of the few locations that was not known which provided a more comfortable environment for her to reside in while living in the Alabaster Icelands. He groaned as he rubbed his head, she'd hit him very hard, not too hard so as to kill him apparently, but hard enough that she'd knocked him out.
"But why?" He moaned as he slowly tried to get up but paused as he heard stomping.
On cue, the Garchomp walked into her den again, this time however carefully carrying his pack and tent, apparently going out and collecting his things while he was unconscious, what for he didn't know, but she deposited them in a corner of her den before turning to look at him and seeing him awake. She stomped over to him, her imposing height and terrifying appendages scaring him as he believed she was going to eat him. He tried backing up, but he was cornered, and he felt a slight stabbing pain in his head from where she'd conked him out. That was all she needed to fully approach him.
In seconds she was in front of him and bending down toward him with her mouth opening up to reveal her teeth. He closed his eyes, scrunching his face and bracing for the pain, hoping that at the very least she dealt the killing blow before eating into him, wanting at least that small act of mercy so that his life wouldn't end in pain.
Instead… he felt her tongue licking his forehead. He opened his eyes again, and saw her looking at him with a soft, almost sorrowful expression as she slowly licked his face, specifically the spot that was causing him pain. He also noticed that her tongue was freezing cold, and actually felt nice in comparison to his burning forehead, no doubt where she'd hit him.
She was truly regretful for hurting him, in truth she'd only meant to grab him, but she underestimated her own strength and nearly killed him, knocking him out and almost sending him tumbling into the gorge to his near death. She'd leapt after him and grabbed him, using her own body to shield his fall and save his life. After that she dragged him back to her den to rest and recover, before heading back out to find his belongings he'd dropped in his haste to escape her. From there she returned to her den, soaked her tongue in the freezing snow so it chilled, and now she was trying as best she could to help mend her mistake.
She couldn't help herself; her heat was in full swing, and her body was acting on instinct too much, but hurting him was never her intention, and she hoped this display showed it.
"You weren't trying to hurt me, were you?" He asked quietly.
She paused at those words; human languages weren't her thing… but she let her actions speak for her. She used one claw to gently rub his forehead where she'd hurt him, and then used the last of her cold tongue to lick it, looking regretful at him as she finished.
"I get it… you just wanted me for something, but what is it?" He asked as she backed up to let him stand.
This was most definitely weird, what 'was' she doing, this was not typical Garchomp behavior. They do not just randomly kidnap a human out of the blue and then take them back to their den. He looked her over and saw that she was not injured, she didn't look malnourished, in fact she looked quite healthy. She had bits of snow coating her body, but it was quickly melting as they were in the heated area of her cave. Other than that minor thing, she was in peak condition regarding Garchomps as a species.
That was when he noticed a weird 'smell' in the air, it was a very sweet scent, a very unfamiliar scent, one that he didn't know about but the more he sniffed the more he became aware of its presence, as well as the affect it was having on his mind.
It was very intoxicating, the more he sniffed the more his mind began to blur and fade in and out of alertness. Then he began slowly began to realize something, if he hadn't noticed the scent before then that means something about his surroundings must have changed to release it. He didn't smell that scent from the hot spring, the cave when he was here before, or his belongings, and he certainly wasn't smelling himself… that meant only one other option.
The Garchomp, when that realization hit him, another realization also slowly made itself known to him. Only certain species of Pokemon gave off a weird, almost intoxicating scent when it was a specific time of year, when they were in 'heat'. When that happened their bodies gave off powerful but often subtle scents that only other members of the species could detect when they were ready to breed and were 'looking' to mate.
When he understood that his eyes snapped to the Garchomp's nether regions, where he'd avoided looking the last time he could for the sake of a 'girl's modesty', but now that he could see it, he could tell it was the source of that scent, and more importantly it was 'soaking wet', not from the snow… but from her own heat.
She saw him looking at her body, and she began feeling even more aroused than before, as she knew that 'he' knew what she had brought him here for. Yes… she had brought him here to become her mate. He was exactly what she had been wanting in a mate, he had what she desired for her offspring, for future generations of her lineage. Wonderful genes that would ensure her future children would have the strongest chances of surviving and thriving in the world.
He was brave, he was smart, cunning, and had a strong sense of survival that was unsurpassed by any other Garchomp out there that she'd ever met. An ordinary Human could never get so close to a wild herd of Mamoswine and Piloswine, and especially risk their lives to get within a few feet of an Alpha Mamoswine, without being detected, and get away! From the moment she saw him become aware of her presence that day, she 'knew' she wanted him to father her eggs, and when he immediately tried to run away, doing all he could to escape her, without even once seeing her, she knew she'd picked a winner and was 'not' going to let this chance go. It may be YEARS before she'd find another Garchomp that had what she wanted, and she wasn't going to waste so much time hoping to find what she'd found right now.
She wanted him to father her offspring, and she wasn't willing to do this for the sake of her species. Her heat was flaring, she couldn't take it anymore, it was unbearable, she'd gone enough years without a mate, this year it was beyond her ability to resist. She'd found her ideal mate, and now with her goal so close…
"Woa, listen I know what you might be wanting but…"
"I know you know what I want, so let me have it little one!" She said eagerly as she walked forward and pushed him onto his back, letting him land safely in the hot spring water, of course though, her words came out to him as, "Groawr roawar gorrar chroraaw!"
"Look if you need to find a mate, I can help you find o-" He tried to say, but she crawled onto him and covered his lips with her own.
She smiled inwardly as she opened her mouth and used her tongue to dominate his mouth. The instant she'd gained access she licked and lapped as the inside of his mouth, smothering and asserting her control over his tongue with her far stronger one. She actually enjoyed how soft he was, not just on the outside, but inside as well. Humans were not like her kind, they did not have claws, they could not endure pain as easily, they were more susceptible to their environments and were incapable of really fighting off Pokemon in general. However… one thing about them that she liked… was how 'soft' they were.
Her chosen human was very soft, and while he probably was strong by human standards, as much as he tried to push her off, she was an Alpha, he could no more shift her body off him than he could move this mountain with his strength alone. But what he lacked in that, he made up for with his smarts, his wits, his cunning, and his bravery, all traits she 'wanted' for her own children.
Speaking of making babies, her femhood was growing hotter the longer it went without a male's touch. It burned, it hurt, painfully hurt the longer it went knowing that a male was literally beneath her but 'not' inside of her and breeding her.
She licked at his tongue one final time before pulling away and smiling eagerly.
Everett breathed heavily as he'd just felt his first kiss, at least he 'hoped' it wasn't his first kiss, but no less his first kiss in this time and place stolen by a Garchomp. Sure, she was beautiful by his own words, but still a Pokemon. However, in the lusty forceful nature of Garchomp's desire to mate, more of her heat's scent had broken into his mind, and he was beginning to notice something else about Garchomps, or at least Dragon types in general it seemed. When they went into heat, any member of the opposite sex caught with them in an enclosed environment also went into a similar state of needing to mate.
His body was now becoming extremely aroused as this female was throwing herself on him, only seeking one thing from him. It wasn't helping him anymore that his body was reacting, and he could feel his dick growing extremely hard as he felt himself wanting more and more to have sex with this creature. Seeing the tent in him, she grinned and released it from its prison, using her claws to 'shred' his clothes to reveal the prize she's been after all day now.
She went wide eye as his dick sprang up, proud and hard for her, standing erect at a very lively ten inches. 'How does he not have every female human clawing each other to get at this?' She asked in amazement. 'Their loss, my gain… his seed only goes into 'my' eggs from now on!'
She looked down at him and grinned before turning around, backing up, and laying as flat on her belly over him so that she could present herself to him and show exactly what she had to offer now. While she did that, she looked at his male tool and licked her lips eagerly, she's never seen a male's tool before, having avoided any encounters for the sake of ensuring her offspring had the best options for their future, but now that she was seeing it… she couldn't resist taking a taste for herself!
She opened her mouth and began licking at it, first the tip, then the length, before letting all of her tongue enjoy it fully, wrapping it completely and then engulfing it with her mouth to swallow it. She sucked as hard as she could, lapping and tasting his wonderful, slightly salty texture, feeling it pulsate ever so slightly at her touches, and hearing him moan in response, indicating that she was indeed causing him pleasure.
"Ooooh almighty Sinnoh… where… how… uuugh that feels so…" He moaned as she tended to his dick while her pussy stared at him from above him.
Smelling the intoxicating scent's source, his mind was clouded and hazy, all thoughts of restraint were merely distant echoes of concern as he wanted to pleasure her now as much as she was pleasuring him. A distant part of him wanted to resist, wanted him to stop because it felt wrong… but another part of him countered. She wanted this badly, even more than he did. He also wasn't really doing anything 'wrong', he had no girl he was cheating on, nobody knew he was here, so what was wrong with giving her what she wanted and enjoying what she was offering?
Besides… she needed help, she was 'begging' him for help in her own way, and she wouldn't just take any random human for this. She'd chosen him, specifically him…
With that he reached up and grabbed at her hips, trying to bring her entrance closer to his mouth, but she wasn't really budging very much. However, she got the message, as she only paused slightly to learn what he wanted, before bending her knees, spreading her legs slightly, and lowering her entrance closer to him and resuming her treatment of his deck.
She moaned 'slightly' as she felt him kiss her pussy, before wiggling ever so slightly after he began to tease and lick her lip's entrance. Her taste was unfathomable, how could she be this sweet in her sex's juices? After a few moments of tasting her love juices, he sucked more and slid his tongue into the folds of her sex, licking and lapping her as much as she was him.
'Oooooh that… oh… soooo coooood…' She moaned as she couldn't take it, letting his dick pop out of her mouth as she growled in pleasure. 'Oh, that feels good… are you an ice type?'
"Did you like that?" He asked as she paused in her treatment.
"Don't stop… please, it's soothing me… continue!" She begged him, nodding and wiggling her hips in a desperate bid to get him to continue soothing her heat.
Taking the hint, he resumed kissing her pussy and licking its insides, causing her to growl warmly and playfully wiggling her hips, her tail swishing and swaying happily in the background as he soothed her heat, if only slightly from just his mouth. Oh, she couldn't resist this feeling, as much as she wanted to keep pleasuring his dick, she couldn't resist letting him do this to her. Besides the longer she waited the better she knew his first payload of seed would feel.
"Oooh… oooah~, yes… Oh yes… ouh bless me… auh yea~!" She cried blissfully, feeling her soft insides pleasured by her newfound lover. "Ough… I chose right… oh I chose riiiiight~!"
She looked down and giddily smiled at his dick which began throbbing, pulsing and demanding attention.
She giggled inside as she knew it was growing impatient, but it could wait… it had to wait just a little bit longer, until she felt her body convulsing in pleasure. Soon she began dry humping, using her claws to anchor herself so that she could get him to please her body more, the waves of pleasure slamming into her like tidal surges. Each one smacking her becoming harder and more effective at getting her off then the last!
"Oh… right… there…yes… a little… ah-ahh ah ah ah AAAAAAH!" She roared in pleasure as her body was wracked with pleasure.
He felt her convulse in pleasure, and 'tasted' her cum on his lips, it was obvious that it was her very first sexual experience just going off of how long she went, but as he took a breath of air she got up, turned around, and positioned her hips above his dick now.
She glanced down and carefully angled herself, adjusting her hips so that she was properly positioned for his dick to penetrate her. That was when some small semblance of himself, his 'normally functioning' brain stopped him and realized he had to make sure she truly wanted this.
"Wait!" He yelled, causing her to pause and look at him curiously. "Do you really want this… do you really want 'me'?"
She couldn't understand his words, but based on his expression, how he had stopped her at that exact moment, and how he was gently holding her arm at that moment gave her the meaning behind his message. She was being asked if she really wanted 'him' for this. While her heat was screaming just get on with it, her more reasonable side also shined through, and asked her this question. Did she want this 'human' for this… after all, this would be her first batch… her first eggs with any male, this was a big gamble she was taking. At least with another Garchomp, she knew just based on herself what she'd get… but him…
"You're strong… your brave… your smart… and you are cunning." She whispered warmly as she bent down and lay atop him, not letting him penetrate her, but enough to get her message across. "I would be proud, to share my genes with yours… together we'll make an egg with the 'best' of both of us!"
He couldn't understand her words, but if he had to guess based on her expression, she said 'yes'. With that, he just nodded and said, "Alright then…" and watched her smile as she ever so slightly raised her hips, before slamming down on his dick and penetrating her entrance for the first time!
"AAAAAH!" She screamed in slight agony, but her heat flared once more, stronger than ever before, driving her to not pull off and instead start pumping. "Oah yes… ffffyes… oaaah yes… yeeeess… it feels so good!"
Her heat was becoming cooled, her sex was now becoming cooled off, despite the lines of red coming from her broken hymen her body was in paradise, as at long last it felt a male's touch inside of her. Her body knew what was going on as she pumped and slammed her hips up and down. Her human lover grunted and groaned in pleasure, feeling her insides wrapping around him like a tight vice, not wanting to let him go and wanting to increase the pleasure he was feeling from her.
"Garchomp, you're so tight… oh your species… you have… you can actually lose 'that'?" He moaned as he glanced down and saw her pussy leaking trails of blood. "Ioogh fuck… oooagh yes… fuck Garchomp… you feel amazing inside!"
"Oh yes… yes this is it, oh I finally have it!" She screamed loudly as she grinned at him. "Yes… feel me, feel my body… my proud body, the body I'm proud to say is now 'yours'!"
She bent lower and stared into him, using only the strength of her hips to keep pumping his dick in and out, an action now matched by him as both their hips smacked one another. She grinned and kissed him, lapping at his tongue as she felt him wrap his arms around her, holding her tightly.
While he continued to have sex with her, he discovered something 'new' about Garchomps, they seemed to have no concept of 'pace' when it came to sex. She was extremely rough, she thrust him very hard and fast into her passage, she dominated the pacing of their activity, and she refused to let him take control.
"Oooh fuck, Sinnoh Garchomp… you feel wonderful… oh fuck yea!"
"Yes… yes give me your sperm, give me your genes… give my eggs what I crave!" She moaned inside his mouth. "My eggs… my children will inherit my strong body, my proud muscles, my strength, my sharp claws and tough hide… while they inherit your smarts, your wits, your bravery and your cunning, they'll be the BEST OF US BOTH!"
She slowed her action down while she paused to kiss him, closing her eyes and letting him touch her and enjoy 'her', as much as she was enjoying him. She could feel his softness from her rough hide, and he likewise could feel her rough dragon hide upon his skin. She was very course to the touch, but she was still 'gentle' with him. He knew she could tear him apart; she could break him in two without even thinking about it, and she knew that too, but she was being very gentle with him. Not letting her spikes hurt him, not letting her claws scratch him, being careful with her sharp teeth, she refused to let even a 'hair' on his body be harmed by hers.
Once she'd had her fill she smiled and resumed thrusting up and down, groaning in pleasure as she felt her pussy's walls tighten and expand with each second, feeling him thrusting in and out as deep as it could go. She knew he couldn't reach to her egg chamber, but he was damn well trying his hardest, and she readjusted herself to give his dick as much length into her passage as possible so that it had the best chance to deliver its precious cargo of sperm for her eggs to be fertilized.
"Yes… yes my eggs… give them to my eggs!" She growled playfully as she felt his dick beginning to convulse again. "They're waiting, waiting for your sperm, for your genes, for both our genes to mix… give my offspring, OUR offspring, the best of us BOTH!"
She continued to thrust up and down, feeling his dick's length along her passage, she could feel every vein, and she knew they were both fast approaching the time of conception. Her body was already preparing them, her eggs were ready to be fertilized, ready to receive the genes she'd denied them for so long.
He began grunting painfully as he felt his release, now she was thrusting harder onto him, faster, feeling his release. "I'm about… I'm going to…"
She didn't wait, she roared in pleasure as she slammed down one final time, and he exploded inside of her body.
"Yes… yeeeeeeeess… inside… oooh yesssss…" She screamed, feeling his dick releasing the precious seed she longed for. "My strong body, my thick hide… with your smarts and your courage… ooooh yes our children… my children… yessssss!"
She cooed lovingly as she felt his release beginning to end, and her own beginning to subside. She leaned heavily on him and they both breathed deeply, then she smiled and began licking his mouth again.
In the afterglow of their love making, she noticed a few things, first that her heat was still in swing, but it had substantially subsided and now was allowing her practical brain to push through and think a little bit more rationally. When she did, she realized what she'd done, and felt extremely guilty about it.
She looked sadly at him and clutched him tightly, moaning regretfully as she rubbed his forehead slightly with her chin, before rubbing her belly with her claw to get the message across. He too felt his mind beginning to clear up again, and realized that she was apologizing for hurting him, and essentially raping him just to breed with him.
"I forgive you; you weren't thinking clearly… besides, I kind of took advantage of you too during that exchange… I don't blame you for wanting to have children and wanting to find a worthy mate for them. In your condition you couldn't have possibly resisted… so I forgive you." He whispered as he petted her large head, warmly accepting her apology and telling her he forgave her.
She sighed happily as she nuzzled him back, before she noticed he was still hard… and her heat wasn't quite done yet.
She thought about it, weighed her options… she 'could' ask him for more sex, and offer him control to make up for how she'd treated him, or… she could let him go and try to…
'I'm still in heat, I've mated with this human, and I'm probably pregnant now but I'm not quite sure… considering I kidnapped and forced him into this, I guess since I've come this far, I might as well make sure…'
She slowly got off of him and let his dick slide out of her pussy with a small 'pop', before she rolled into a sitting position in the corner of the hot spring water, spread her legs and growled playfully, winking at him to entice him.
Smiling at her message he got up and went over to her, teasing her entrance with his dick and smirking as she panted, she wasn't going to dominate him this time, she was going to let 'him' set the pace and have his way with 'her'.
After a bit more teasing where she groaned and looked pleadingly at him, he finally smirked and thrust inside of her pussy, still relatively tight but now very welcoming to his dick as it enfolded it in warmth and pleasure. She growled pleasurably as she now wrapped 'her' legs around his waist while he began thrusting in and out of her, wrapping her arms and holding him close to her.
She smiled and growled in blissful pleasure as he slowly thrust in and out, finding that humans setting the pace of sex was 'much' better for the sake of pleasure. As he slowly thrust in and out, not really leaving her passage and simply smacking into her body, she moaned happily as her tongue hanged out of her mouth.
"So… is this… better?" He asked her warmly.
"Grawwwr…" She replied, unable to understand him, but she basically said 'yes' to whatever he was asking.
It was slower going, but she found this kind of sex far more… 'lovely', if she had to describe it. Feeling him filling her entrance, feeling him giving her pleasure, and feeling him wanting to pleasure her and more importantly not forcing it upon her was nice. She wasn't in control, but the option to increase or decrease the pace was in 'her' control.
She smiled as she looked down and he pushed up into her mouth to kiss her, allowing him entry into her mouth now. While he was not able to dominate her tongue, she felt it was very loving and rather affectionate to let his tongue caress and cuddle hers. Feeling his tongue poking and rolling around on her massive tongue, sent shivers of pleasure down her body.
He separated from her and resumed thrusting, smirking as he rubbed her chest and she smiled back in response, simply allowing him to push into her as he wished.
"Ready for me to go faster and harder?" He asked.
Again, she didn't know what he was saying, but she guessed it, and replied "Grawwr…" or, 'yes'.
He pulled back slightly before ramming into her harder than before, causing her to gasp in pleasure. She smiled as she nodded, saying she liked 'that', so he did that, pulling back, and thrusting, resulting in her leaning her head back and moaning in pleasure.
'Ooooh yea… oouugh yeeess…' She growled internally, as she sighed from the waves of pleasure pulsing into her body.
It wasn't like how she was doing it with him, no, instead of those massive tidal waves that shoved and broke upon her… these were small little surges of pleasure that increased in tiny increments. They weren't the same each time, each time he shoved into her, he was just slightly better each time. Each thrust was slightly harder, each interval was shorter by that tiniest margin that made her love every second of it.
Again, she growled playfully before leaning down and kissing him once more, while he continued to thrust harder and faster, causing the sound of flesh slapping flesh to ring in her den. Tiny traces of their combined juices leaked from her and into the water, but she ignored it as she felt the pleasure and 'love' from her human.
Her heat was still in swing, but its effects were quickly fading away, a result of her finding a mate at long last, and finally feeling that she was being 'bred'.
It was strange as he began to thrust even harder, no longer kissing her and focusing his efforts into pushing as deep into her and ramming her sex with as much force as he could muster, tired as both of them were. What was strange as this went on, was that even though she 'wanted' to be bred… it wasn't the fact that she was being bred with him that caused her to feel warm inside, it was the fact that… she felt 'happy' despite the fact that she might 'not' get bred.
Oh yes, the drive to breed is there, but… feeling him shove his dick inside of her, feeling it leave her passage, before ramming back into her… feeling how much effort he was putting into her pleasure, in his attempts to breed her, to give her children…
She didn't want to just breed now for the sake of having the best of them both be born into the world… she wanted to breed with him 'because' it was him…
"Oh… ffff… fuck… Garchomp… I'm about to cum!" He whispered as he held her tightly, rapidly pounding her sex as hard as he could, trying to make his release wait as long as possible.
'Don't hesitate… inside of me… give me your seed… breeed meeeeeeee!" She screamed as he released inside of her for the second time.
"Haaaha haaaaaaah… oohaaaaa… fuuuuuuck…" He panted as he pushed as deep into her as he could, trying not to spill a drop, aided by her clutching him tightly, as tightly to her body as she could manage.
She could feel every pump of sperm, every ounce of seed, every drop of cum being poured into her passage… and she moaned happily as she too released upon his dick. She breathed heavily, happily, lovingly…
She smiled, picturing it now inside of her body…
She could see them, millions, billions of this human's sperm swarming through her body toward her eggs. All of them wiggling frantically to be the first… she could just see them, 'feel' them… digging into her many eggs, burrowing deeper and deeper… until one after another they were fertilized, depositing the genes of her human to be shared with her own genes, mixing their two species… so that her offspring were the best of both!
She leaned down, closed her eyes, and kissed him again, rolling herself onto her belly so that she was on top, and he on bottom and would be kept warm and safe. Warm thanks to the warm water of the hot spring, safe because she would rip and tear apart any threat to her new mate that so much as 'dared' step one toe into her den.
(That night)
Jack smiled as he patted the back of a female Vibrava, even as it ate some medicine. The scent coming off it was rather intoxicating, but not so much that it was affecting his mind. He had been helping out many of the Vibrava and Flygon of Route 228 in Sinnoh. It was a rough season for some of these poor Pokemon, many of them had been unable to find a mate to help them with their heat or to breed, and as he was the local Ranger for the Route, he had to help however he could.
He'd developed this special medicine specifically to help female Pokemon with their heat seasons so that they could avoid the burning sensation. A few male pokemon were 'also' suffering but not nearly as badly, for them he just gave them special herbal medicines to help calm their urges. But nevertheless, help them all he did, that was his job after all!
"There, feeling better already?"
"Vi vi!" It said warmly.
"Hhehe, don't worry, maybe next season you'll find the lucky one!" He told it.
"Vibraaava…" It muttered wistfully.
"Look we all find that one eventually, the one that we know we're destined for… so you didn't find it this season… some day you will, and when you do, you'll know you picked a winner! And when that happens, don't let 'anything' stop you from getting that mate, because if you do… you might regret it for the rest of your life."
"Vibraaaa?"
"You'll understand some day… believe me… when you find the one… they'll just… 'fit' with you, you won't even need to think too much about it, they'll just… be the one you were looking for. And when they find you, they'll think the same thing… that you were the one 'they' were looking for…"
(Everett's PoV)
He snapped his eyes open as he found himself sleeping on his blanket, with another blanket over him, while above him a still content to sleep Alpha Garchomp snoozed on, smiling contently as she cuddled him close to her body.
He remembered now… that scent, her 'heat', the scent of her heat somehow triggered a memory… it wasn't long, it wasn't much… but it told him everything he'd ever wanted to know.
His name, why he was so comfortable in the wild, why he was alright being alone, why he had no Pokemon partner of his own or why he never needed one…
He was a Pokemon Ranger, his name was Jack, he was from Sinnoh, and his job was to help Pokemon, people, and make sure nothing bad happened to the world.
He turned to his Garchomp 'mate'… and smiled, leaning over and kissing her on the cheek, resulting in her stirring slightly.
'Thank you… for helping me…' He thought warmly as she woke up and looked at him.
She began to stir and look down at him, smiling as she licked his lips before snuggling into him some more.
"Listen… I have to head back to the Diamond Clan settlement; I need to report back to my clan leader and tell him my findings as well as other stuff." He explained to her, which she listened but obviously still did not understand his words. "What I'm saying is… do you want to come with me?"
She looked at him in confusion before glancing at her stomach and looking back to him.
"No, I'm not telling you I'm abandoning you… after what just happened, I have no intention of leaving you." He said as he held the side of her head. "I'm just wondering… I've been alone most of my life, after I became a Ranger, I never found time for a family. Now… well, now that I have a family in the making, I can't exactly just abandon it. So… do you want to come with me in my travels?"
It took a while for her to figure out what he was saying, but she eventually got the gist of it, causing her to smile and lick him affectionately. Though she glanced at her stomach, then at his hip area, and smiling with a knowing expression.
"Let's… get through the 'first' batch… then we can talk…" He chuckled as he started getting up, before she shoved him down and smiled at him with a big grin on her face. "Or… you had other ideas in mind?"
Oh yea, she had 'other' ideas in mind, as she spent the next two hours that second day, he was in her den trying to breed 'more' eggs with him, before finally walking out with him and heading off to the Galaxy Expedition camp to get provisions and supplies, as despite her best intentions… she'd ended up destroying everything but a few clothes with her claws when she'd gathered his items the day before.
However just before they left, he turned to her and said, "Do you want a name?"
She looked at him with curiosity before she smiled, as she knew 'that' without having to guess.
He thought about it, and said… "Do you mind if I call you 'Lin'?"
She smiled and hugged him, and it was only through sheer willpower that stopped her from just picking him up, running back into her den again and ravaging him for the sake of showing how happy she was to have him as a mate.
=Time skip, 1 year later=
He walked through a forested area with Lin, being careful to make sure they didn't attract 'too much' attention, because he was about to become a father… again!
After nearly 1 year of traveling, exploring, researching and helping both travelers and Pokemon alike, Lin had finally given him the message that she had to find a safe place for her eggs again. Lin, a very heavily pregnant Garchomp was able to protect him and assist him in his efforts for so long, but like her first batch her stomach began hurting, indicating that it was time, and now they were searching for a good spot.
"Ooooh hurry, find a cave, any cave will doooo…" She moaned painfully as she shuffled forward.
"Almost there, I know a cave where you can deposit your eggs!"
They'd also gotten better at communicating with one another, it was still tricky but eventually they got used to talking to one another and could now at least 'talk'.
As she walked, she held her belly with one claw, while the other was used to walk with her feet, her belly was extremely engorged, she had to be carrying a dozen eggs inside her, and while she was eager to find out just how 'potent' her mate was this time, she was just desperate to find a cave where she could leave them buried in safety.
Unlike other species, Garchomps did not exactly 'care' for their eggs as much. He eventually found out that once a mother hatched an egg, unless the offspring found its mother by sheer chance, most often her species just never bothered watching out for the eggs or the offspring. To top it off they were all capable of fending for themselves at birth for the most part.
But, unlike 'her' upbringing, she wanted them to have the best shot at being able to survive to adulthood, so she was in a nice warm forested climate, away from the snow and ice of her original home.
"OOOh they're coming… huuury…" She screamed as she felt another spasm of pain shoot through her body.
"Almost, almost… there right there!" He shouted as he pushed the branches of a tree aside and shoved past to reveal a small cave entrance.
Seeing the cave, she shoved forward and rushed in, instantly digging a small hole in the dirt and beginning to crouch…
"Goooooaaaaah this huuuuuuurts… oaooowww they're coming…" She screamed painfully as she felt the first egg beginning to shove its way out into the world.
Everett ran forward and, while avoiding looking at the point where the eggs were coming out, held the claw of his lover. She groaned and screamed as she felt the pain of her eggs being born into the world, but she took pride and comfort that she was 'not' letting them come to harm and felt joy that her beloved was there to watch them arrive.
She could feel them leave her body, one by one, plopping into the hastily made hole she'd made. She could hear them slide out, tapping one another as they landed in the soft soil beneath her, despite the fact that she wanted to run around and scream and rampage just because of how much pain she was in… she held her feet still, held her body still… ensuring not one egg would be cracked because of her!
"Goohhaaa hooow many moooooore!?" She screamed to him.
"Almost there… hang in there, just a few more…" He said, feeling her belly and noticing how flat it was getting.
She cried as she felt the last few eggs exit her body, and then panted when it was over. She then walked away, smiled tiredly, before looking down at the pile of eggs before her.
They were 'big', she was amazed by how… 'big' the eggs were, each one was just about half a meter large, and each housed a baby Gible. In total, there were eleven, one more than last year… she was so proud of her mate!
Another thing that happened last year, was the fact that their fears of their offspring's looks ended. When the first batch began to hatch, with them staying and watching over them so that they could see what they would look like, Everett had been afraid of them turning into some weird Human/Pokemon hybrid abomination.
Instead… they were just normal Gibles, with the best qualities of both their parents. After a few months of observing them in secret, they found their offspring were indeed strong, able to handle and ward off even some 'lesser' Alpha Pokemon, scare off potential enemies, hunt for their own food and learn quickly and adapt to their surroundings more easily than she ever could.
She'd truly picked a winner; her offspring had the best of 'both' of her and her mate's genes.
They'd only spent 5 months in her belly, but already they were well on their way to thriving to adulthood, where they'd repeat the process, of finding the best candidate to mate with, and bringing into the world the 'next' generation, with the best of not only their parent's genes, but also their new mate's.
She sighed as she looked at him, and nuzzled him lovingly, watching as he carefully covered the eggs with branches and leaves to keep them safe and out of sight from potential predators. They didn't need to watch any future egg batches they'd have; they knew they could handle themselves.
"It feels very weird to leave my own children in a cave and know I don't need to think about how they're doing out in the wilderness alone." He muttered to her.
Lin however, smiled as she pulled him up into her arms and hugged him close to her, before grinning as she walked quickly to find a new cave, an 'empty' cave for them.
"Lin, you just gave birth, can't you wait until…"
"Nope!" She growled playfully, upon seeing a new cave in the distance.
"But you can't breed for another month girl…"
"We can still practice, besides I'm an Alpha… next heat I've got to breed 'more' eggs than this one… next batch… I want to lay 'twelve'!"
He had to build up his stamina, he spent 4 hours over a day during her last heat cycle breeding her those eleven eggs. This next heat cycle, she needed him to go 'five' hours so she could breed 'twelve'!
