Romances of the Pokemon World

by The Imperator 2 you

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

38. BraixenXDelphox (FF)

There are always two sides to the coin of affection and love, if one side is positive and beautiful then the opposite side is negative and cruel. When we see something we long for found in another, it makes us jealous and spiteful, despite the feeling deep down that we are happy for what we see we truly despise and dislike those we see who have what we long for the most. There is nothing wrong with this feeling, because when we finally have what we have been seeking, all that came before becomes but a distant and happily forgotten memory~!

[Narrator]

[Well, here we are again, another beautiful day in the Sinnoh Region, the sun is shining and the people of Sinnoh are going about their day. No matter where you are, there's always something exciting or interesting happening. And in one corner of this region, a travelling carnival that goes from region to region, city to city, town to town, has arrived to razzle and dazzle the crowds.]

[This carnival known as Barnabus' Traveling Emporium of Performing Pals, has arrived in Sinnoh to tour the region and perform for the crowds. From Pyroar Shows and Swanna Acrobatics, Donphan balancing and Honedge Sword Swallowing, nothing is beyond imagination to the people who watch and are amazed!]

[It's also quite common as a rumor that some people run away to the circus to seek out a new life for themselves among the stars and performers. But surely this is just a rumor, right?]

(Adella's & Yuko's PoV)

[And now, for the Grand Finale, the amazing Yuko the Performer will perform his most 'dangerous' escape ever imaginable.] The announcer declared as Yuko waved and smiled to the audience around him and his assistant, the small area they used for all of their set pieces. [Now friends and family, Barnabus' Traveling Emporium of Performing Pals welcomes you to witness, Yuko the Performer's... Death Trap Escape!]

Yuko smiled as he nodded to his assistant, a Delphox wearing a colorful witches' hat and wearing a psychic inhibitor around her neck. Said Delphox was helping him into his 'suit' as they called it, where he was bound in a strait jacket, tied up by ropes binding his ankles and wrists behind his back, handcuffs to boot, and finally a facemask restricting his sight and ability to breathe. As the finishing touches were done, she nodded and showed the audience how sturdy the restraints were, trying and failing to break the ropes, the cuffs, and the jacket was securely fastened.

Once he was ready, she backed up and he was lifted via a crane to a prepared glass box, the bottom half of which was covered by a tarp, and was filled with water. As he wiggled a little bit while being placed in, a lid covered the top and finally the tarp was pulled away to reveal a large number of pointed spikes. The spikes glinted in the water as light shined upon them, and a large countdown appeared.

The Delphox, Yuko's assistant, Adella, stopped smiling as everyone's attention was captured by the trap and looked nervously as he began frantically wiggling and working to free himself. No matter how many times they'd done it, no matter how many shows they performed, this was ALWAYS the act she dreaded the most.

The second the box closed up, the countdown began, he had exactly one whole minute to free himself from all of the binds, reach between the spikes, and finally pull a rope that would end the countdown and raise the lid so he could get out. If he failed, then special slits would appear in the box, allowing water to drain and a mechanism would push the lid down rapidly, forcing him into the spikes...

It was their most deadly act, the one she was afraid for Yuko's safety out of all of their other acts. If even 'one' thing went wrong...

She had done all she was permitted to do, the psychic inhibitor prevented her from using her powers so if the worst happened all she could do was scream in horror and pray to Arceus that he'd be safe, or that the crane operator would stop the lid's descent before it was too late.

As the countdown ticked, Yuko began to work on freeing himself, first wiggling the ropes off his arms. This took a whole 20 seconds, and Adella frowned, he was behind in time, he never took longer than ten seconds for the arm ropes...

After 30 seconds had passed, Yuko managed to pull off the ropes binding his legs, but still Adella was getting nervous, he still had the cuffs, the jacket, and then he had to remove the mask so he could find the chain to escape the trap.

At the 40 second mark Yuko began wiggling frantically, his jacket was starting to come undone... but still he was not freed.

At the 50 second mark she realized he was not going to make it, she signaled the crane operator to pull the lid off and get him out, but her stick wouldn't light because of the psychic inhibitor. Frantically she tried to rush to the glass, but the instant the countdown timer hit '0', the slits opened up, the lid pushed down, water began pouring out and...

WHAM!

The crowd 'screamed' in shock and horror as the water inside of the tank turned red, ripped up pieces of cloth and... 'stuff' floating around inside of it.

Adella stared in horror as she couldn't believe it...

Yuko was...

"TA DAAAAAAAH!" A loud voice declared from the crowd, and all eyes turned, and even the spotlight, turned to see none other than a highly drenched Yuko smiling and waving from a random seat that was left empty in the back row.

Everyone began applauding with Adella looking in both surprise and relief, as she looked at the glass case and saw that what was floating around was actually tomatoes.

[A splendid performance by Yuko the Performer, we hope you enjoyed his Grand Finale, and we hope to see you all next time, have a beautiful day folks!]

Adella sighed as she bowed with Yuko, smiling and bowing to the applause as the crowd gave them a standing ovation. It had been a wonderful crowd and a wonderful show today, nary a hiccup compared to the last showing. Unlike last time when they had to cancel their 'grand finale', something that she honestly didn't mind, today nothing had hindered their ability to perform for the show.

As the crowd began to leave and maintanence crew began to arrive and start cleaning up and clearing the big top of all of their items and everything else left over, she and Yuko made their way out of the big tent and toward the large field of trucks and trailers that served the actors and actresses, maintenance crews and everyone else as their mobile homes while on the road or off the road.

She shook her head as she slowly pulled off her inhibitor, hating the darn thing and having to wear it for the sake of performing.

(How did you do that?) She asked him curiously once she was free of the inhibitor.

"Do what?" Yuko asked with a smug expression.

(Oh, come on don't play 'magician' with me, how did you get out of the death trap?) She asked him. (You had me worried 'sick', I was frightened that you actually 'died' that time, you NEVER failed to escape before today!)

He just chuckled as he leaned over and whispered into her ears, "You know full well a magician 'never' reveals his secrets."

(Well, you better tell me or else the next time you pull that stunt again; you'll find yourself sleeping on the floor instead of the bed with only a pillow!) She snarled with a huff.

Yuko sighed as they reached their mobile home. "Alright, I'll tell you..." He gave in. "Just as the crane operator began lifting me, I switched places with a dummy of bags filled with tomatoes, and the suit was filled with several shaking toys to simulate me wiggling and trying to escape. After a while, the suit began to rip the ropes off with specially placed knives to make it look like I was escaping!"

She sighed as she figured it was something like that. (And so, you soaked yourself off stage, quickly made your way to the seating, and appeared in the crowd 'just' as the act ended so you could 'magically' appear!) She glared at him. (Don't do that again... you gave me a heart attack!)

Yuko chuckled as he unlocked their home and opened it up. "I'm sorry Adella, but I figured I should change things up, or else it will get boring!"

Just before he could go in, Adella grabbed his hand and glared angrily at him, small tears leaking from her eyes. (I mean it, I was 'scared'!) She yelled into his mind. (I was really frightened that time... you KNOW I hate it whenever we do that act... I don't 'care' if we've done it a thousand times, I don't care if you have a way to escape if things go bad... I don't CARE if you had that routine up your sleeve since day one... promise me that... you won't do that to me again!)

There was silence as he glanced around, before opening the door and leading the way inside, once inside he closed the door, locked it, and turned to her with an apologetic frown on his face. He nodded, took her hands in his, and then leaned forward and whispered, "I promise Adella, I'll never do that again... you have my word." into her ears, before lifting her chin up and leaning in for a kiss which she reciprocated.

Adella cried slightly as she kissed him, hating how they had to be so secret with their relationship, even 'with' the constant changing of regions. But also, sad that she had to push him to be honest with her when deep down, he was just doing what he loved doing, same as she was, even 'if' some days she wished they were doing something else.

There were days where she'd trade the glamor and glam of being in show business, performing before massive crowds and amazing people far and wide with their magic act, for a boring but 'safe' lifestyle with him. She would not 'care' if instead of performing, she was just an ordinary Delphox taking care of a home while the human was away doing some boring 9 to 5 job... at least then she'd know he wouldn't have risked his life that day for some reason. Safeties or not, she just hated the thought of Yuko risking his life just to get a louder applause from an ungrateful crowd who didn't realize the risks, the number of hours, the sheer quantity of times they stayed up practicing their routines so nothing would go wrong.

Even their simplest act, a floating card trick with some sleight of hand mixed in, was something they would spend a whole day doing over and over, just so they wouldn't mess things up.

But most importantly, as she leaned into his lips, closed her eyes, and just enjoyed her time with him... she wished they were in a region that 'welcomed' their kind of relationship. Pokephelia was outlawed in many regions, only a few actually 'permitted it', but it was only within those regions and only 'after' a special license was obtained and various tests performed to show that it wasn't a one-sided relationship and that both parties were consenting and mature to the relationship idea, was a Pokemon and a Human allowed to have a relationship with one another.

They'd toured a few regions that permitted it, such as the Galar Region, and there they'd seen a few 'couples' out and about in the daytime, just living life as normal as any human couple did. She didn't have to think hard about how she and Yuko could, well 'get it on', considering their body types, but other couples that she'd observed made her question how things worked. Such as a Lapras and Human pair during a water festival she observed, it raised many questions in her mind, but she found herself better off 'not' asking.

After a bit they separated and Adella sighed as she shook her head before heading to the rear of the vehicle so they could 'change out of their uniforms', with her having to get rid of the sparkles and her hat, while Yuko cleaned the dye out of his hair and got out of the 'monkey suit' as they dubbed it.

With the glitter in her fur gone she was just like every other Delphox out there, a little on the taller side at four feet 'seven', red and gold fur with white streaks mixed in, her fox-like appearance and flaming orange tufts of fur sticking out of her ears. Up her furry sleeves she pulled out her prized stick, a wand that Yuko had fashioned for her when she found it as a Braixen. Unlike other sticks that Delphox's and Braixens used, which were mostly twigs and sticks they found lying around, hers was straight and made out of a special tree wood that he'd purchased for her as a gift, and crafted to her delight in the shape of a wand.

To her right, she watched as Yuko removed the suit and sat in front of a mirror like her, removing the glitter makeup and face paintings on his cheek to leave himself 'relatively' clean. Yuko was a slightly pale human on the average size, near six feet in height. But while his hair was dyed to be colorful and rainbow like for the performance, his natural hair color was a short dark brown. She also watched him removing fake eyelashes and wetting his eyelids to remove the coloring on them. They had to do this routine every time they ended a show, and luckily that was their last showing for the week, in a few days they were heading out to another city to perform, so they could relax and plan their next routines. In her eyes though he looked more attractive when 'not' looking like he did on stage.

(Are you two done yet? Dinner won't eat itself you know!) Came a slightly annoyed voice from another room in the mobile home.

The voice of her mother.

(We're finishing up now mom, we'll be there soon!)

She hated going to dinner at the end of the show, no matter how many times it happened, her mom being the typical 'mom' she was. Closed off, recluse, not going outside, always staying inside. The only thing they had in common was they both liked Yuko, and that her mother at least 'approved' to an extent of their relationship with each other. Though she didn't like the idea of him dating her, even if it was in the confines of their home.

"Alright, I'm going to get a shower in before eating, got some of this dye to remove." Yuko said as he got up.

(Don't waste too much water, we need to go into town to pick up some more gallons before we head out! We're down to our last gallon.) She told him as she used the heat generated from her fur to burn away the remaining 'hard to get rid of' glitter.

After he left and she was done, she got up, stretched, and planted her stick in its little stand for safekeeping before opening the door to the kitchen/dining room and joining her mother for dinner. Her mother was a Braixen, a Braixen with purple fur instead of the usual yellow, and unlike 'other' Braixens this one was wearing clothes to cover herself up. She was wearing a small witch's hat, a gift he got her one month that she refuses to take off unless it's to sleep, a robe-like dress that went below her knees, and underneath it some women's panties with a hole for her tail to fit through, though she still walked around barefoot saying 'wearing socks feel weird' to her. Since she was pouring dinner, a pumpkin/remoraid stew, she also wore on top of her outfit a 'cooking apron'.

(How was the show?) She asked as she finished their bowls.

(The usual... Yuko gave me a heart attack, crowd loved his performance, and it was a big crowd as usual!) Adella said as she dug in.

Her mother hmphed as she began digging in as well. Adella honestly didn't get why she even 'asked' if she didn't like the fact that they were 'stage performers'. Okay sure, she may have wished Yuko had a safer job, but honestly, that was only because of that damnable act he always performed for the Grand Finale. She liked the crowd, the ooohs and ahhs that comes with their lifestyle, and it was something Yuko enjoyed!

As for her mother, well her mother, Xena, never talked about her life 'before' she had her. All her mother would say is, she felt only safe with Yuko, not because he saved her life or because he was nice and kind or whatnot, but because he 'took care of her'. She was one of those 'traditional pokemon' that she heard about, the ones that live with Trainers who go around collecting gym badges and taking on the Champion League or whatever it's called. The ones that are 'loyal' to their trainers because they take care of them, give them good health and feed them, protect them and travel with them, in exchange for the occasional battle for money or whatever reason.

(So, what now, wasn't today the last show here?) Xena asked.

Adella nodded as she took a spoonful of soup. (Yep, we're scheduled to be in Crown City, three weeks from today.)

Xena sighed in frustration at that, also eating. (And it takes 'how long' to get there?)

(About two and a half weeks.) She replied simply.

There was silence as they just ate, Adella 'feeling' the tension in the air as they knew the big topic was approaching.

(What are you and Yuko planning to do when we get there?)

(Practice our routine when we arrive, what else?)

(Is that 'all' you guys do, practice your little 'magic act' and nothing else, what kind of a life is that?)

(At least I HAVE a life!)

They were both glaring daggers and showing off fangs to show their distaste with the other and with the situation.

(A life where you work, travel, work and travel some more, when are you two going to do 'something else' that does NOT involve traveling from city to city, dressing up and acting like 'CLOWNS' for a living?) The Braixen shouted.

(When are YOU going to get out of the house instead of cooping yourself up every hour like a HERMIT!) She countered just as loudly.

(Don't you DARE tell me what to do missy! I don't stay inside doing 'NOTHING' I make sure this place stays clean and in order, and lest you forget I at least know how to cook! Unlike you I'm not performing magic tricks to make some kids laugh!)

(Those 'magic tricks' are sleight of hand illusions, and it takes hours of daily practice to do them without screwing up!)

(For a Delphox who never 'uses' their powers it's a wonder you can even make a 'spark' appear!)

(At least I have a STICK to use my powers unlike you!)

Their faces had gotten very close to one another in their heated argument, so much so that if they were talking verbally spit and saliva would be flying.

(Why do you 'hate' what me and Yuko do for a living 'mother', you don't mind if I date him but you 'hate' that we perform for a living? That 'magic act' you hate so much is what puts the food on our table and lets us live to the next day!)

(You would 'not' understand, I only want what's best for you but...) Xena snarled as the door to the kitchen opened and Yuko walked in wearing his 'casual clothes'.

"Sorry I'm la-…" He started saying as he saw what was going on. "Am I... interrupting something?"

Both Braixen and Delphox gave one final glare before sitting back down and Xena took her dinner and walked out of the kitchen.

(Nothing Yuko, don't worry about it, enjoy dinner, I added a little extra Sitrus juice to the soup to make it tastier.) She said sweetly as she walked out, choosing to eat in the bedroom apparently.

As she left Adella forced herself to calm down and sat back down, shifting her chair over so that Yuko could sit next to her.

"What happened?" He asked worriedly.

(It's just another of our fights, you know the drill, she hates that we perform for a living and wishes we would... settle down somewhere and you'd have a more... 'stable' living.)

"In other words, she wishes I was doing something else besides performing magic?" He said, knowing the real reason for their fighting.

Adella nodded as they ate their soup.

He sighed as he took a spoonful of soup before thinking about that as well. He honestly wished he could tell Adella why her mother was acting the way she was, because in all honesty she was just acting like a mother, wanting her daughter to have a good life and, to be honest, he wished some days that he wasn't a magician. He enjoyed what he did, but he knew this was not something one should do their entire life. But it was all he had...

"Well, she just wants what's best for you, that's all." Yuko said warmly.

(I know, but I wish she wouldn't hate what we do so much...) Adella muttered as she poked her empty bowl. (Look Yuko, any chance we could... I don't know, go on a date or do something else while we're on the road? It's been a while since we went on a date after all.)

He nodded as he was already thinking that. "Tomorrow when we head out after getting more water for the road, you pick a spot on the trip and we'll stop for the evening and do something together, just the two of us!"

(Hmmm, I think I can find 'something' for us to do... maybe something late at night... a throwaway blanket beneath us... a couple of 'exotic' berry juice drinks... maybe a little...) She whispered seductively as she dumped her bowl in the sink before whispering into his ears with a grin. (Extra 'thin' piece of rubber... wrapped around a nice thick... hot rod, just waiting to take a 'plunge' into a warm... wet... tunnel of love at long last... or maybe we can skip the rubber and... go skinny dipping... 'naked'?)

Yuko shivered in delight as she licked his cheek before pulling him into a kiss with her lips, then she went a little wide eyed as he slowly got out of his chair and pushed her onto the floor of their home on wheels, and grinned at her, causing her to grin slyly just as much in return.

"With a mouth like that, what's stopping me from diving right in now to taste that sweet flower's nector?" He whispered.

She took a very heated breath as she honestly was 'not' stopping him, the only thing holding 'him' back, or even holding 'her' back, was pure self-restraint.

(Uhm... nothing really... it's just... I'm a little... nervous and this is so... sudden and... mom could walk in on you and me and... I kind of want our first time to be special like... you know but... if you really want me then...) She whispered with a nervous smile, while ever so slightly spreading her legs a bit, and gently began to use her hands to help part the fur below her waist that concealed her 'privates' from sight.

Fortunately, she was stopped as he held her cheek and paused her action, causing her to slowly calm down from the 'heat of the moment' to smile and lean into him.

"I know... I'm really sorry that we haven't had any time to ourselves to be a couple... I'm really sorry that we have to travel so much and when we do get to stop, we have to 'practice' our routine for the show." He said apologetically. "I promise that this time, we'll go on a proper date, not a simple 'tv dinner date' in front of the screen watching movies."

She smiled warmly while her eyes twinkled in delight at the thought of that. (Promise?)

"Promise," He said as he leaned down and kissed his Delphox girlfriend who kissed back just as happily, her tail wagging 'slightly' while it was pinned between the floor and the two of them.

However, just beyond the door, a Braixen was sitting with an empty bowl next to her, listening to the two of them with her ears next to the door after she turned the lights off to hide the fact she was there. Despite the fact that Xena was smiling happily that her daughter was 'happy' with the human... a part of her just 'hated' that they were... a thing.

"Why couldn't 'I' be in her place?" She whispered bitterly, slowly getting up and going to hide in the driver's seat until they left so she could do the dishes.

(Xena's PoV)

Two days had passed since the show closed and everyone had gone out in their own trailers, traveling vehicles, trucks, cars and whatever else they had to get from place to place. It would be about three weeks before they were scheduled to perform again, and most of that time would be spent on the road. Despite whatever traffic there was on the road, their small mobile home wasn't the fastest thing, and since they had to be careful with mileage, they often took a while to get to where they needed to.

During this time, Xena and Yuko sat in the driver's seat with Xena keeping tabs on the map and making sure they were on the right track to their destination. Being on the road was one of the few 'pleasurable experiences' she had while in their home, but it was only because she got to spend time with Yuko while her daughter watched tv or played cards with herself while practicing simple moves for fun.

"Alright fork coming up, which one are we taking?"

(Ignore it, we're taking the left exit ramp at the next fork.) She told him.

"Got it." He said as he changed lanes.

She glanced up at the road to see the ramp pass by and resumed looking at the map.

"Say Xena, your birthday's coming up in a week, got any wishes for it?"

(Just a nice quiet afternoon.) She replied.

"But your afternoons are 'always' quiet, come on tell me what you want."

(Nothing Yuko, nothing, don't worry about me... just go out and enjoy the day with Adella.) She told him.

She could tell he was being quiet while thinking about what to say to her. She chose to focus on the map so as to not talk to him, not that she didn't like him, she did... but she just didn't want to make him upset with her in some way.

"Xena, why do you not like me and Adella being together?"

(I don't... I'm happy you two like each other.) She whispered to him. (I'm being honest... I'm really happy you two like each other as much as you do.)

Yuko sighed as he changed lanes again to get out from behind a moving van. "Then why do you hate what I do for a living?"

Xena glanced slightly at him before sighing and putting the map away, there was no point in pretending, she was just looking at random things, besides after he took the next exit ramp, they had open road for two more days to travel.

(Yuko... how long do you plan to be a magician working at a carnival?) She asked him. (I haven't told her because that's your business, but all you know how to do is perform tricks, yes, your happy but... sooner or later, something may happen and you will have to get something 'better'.)

She looked at him with a frown.

(You basically helped me 'raise' my daughter, you feed 'all' of us... if you two decide to... have an egg, that's another mouth to feed, you don't make enough to feed four mouths, let alone more if you two have another... I'm just worried about Adella's and your future together.)

He nodded as he knew that, he was only in his early thirties, but even now he was feeling the pressure of taking care of two Pokemon with only a performer's pay. It wasn't like he was a full-fledged 'trainer', no he just performed tricks on a stage, and even then, his contract only gave him a fraction of the cut that the circus made. Truth is, that's why he wasn't trying to do anything with Adella, for fear of not being able to raise a family with her while also taking care of the Braixen.

"I suppose I could try something else... but all I can do are basic jobs like Dish Washing and..."

(I know, you don't have a proper education, so what you'd be doing is trading one tough lifestyle that you enjoy for another that you might not...) She stated. (Yuko... why did you do it? I followed you because... you promised to help me, take care of me... but you had a choice, you didn't need to run away from home.)

There it was, the big topic she was trying to avoid, instantly she regretted her actions as she could just 'feel' any positive air leave the wheel area.

The reason why Yuko was performing in a circus, why he was so good at it, was because that was all he really knew how to be. At a young age, he and Xena had run away from his home, him taking her because he promised to take care of her after an... 'incident'... and they basically ran away from their old life.

When he ran away to join the circus, he had to hide his real age and made up a new name for himself so he could be accepted. Once he was old enough and he found himself performing magic, he eventually became 'Yuko the Performer', the amazing magical escape artist.

But after she had 'Adella', life got very hard for the two of them, and it's been this way ever sense.

"I did it because we had to get out... both of us did, I would have found a way to save us both..."

(But Yuko... what if maybe there was another way?) She asked quietly.

"At the time I didn't see one... did you?"

She shook her head and looked away, bringing up the past always ruined the mood, whatever it was.

After twenty minutes of sitting in silence, she said something about 'going to check on Adella and see what she wanted for dinner' before climbing out of the chair and walking into the back. Their mobile home wasn't all that grand, it had enough space for a bedroom, a tiny kitchen/dining room, living space, and bathroom. Four rooms and a thin corridor for a large mobile home.

In the living space she found her daughter sitting and reading a book while her stick stood on its own little pedestal.

(Adella, do you want anything in particular for dinner?) She asked.

Her daughter shook her head and turned the page.

Seeing she had nothing to say she moved to leave, but stopped as she heard her daughter ask her a question.

(Mom, can I ask a question?)

She turned around and nodded. (Be honest, do you 'hate' what me and Yuko do for a living, or do you hate us being together?)

Xena frowned as she closed the door so that Yuko wouldn't hear them talking, not that it was needed because they talk via telepathy, but it was just a force of habit.

(No, for the last time... I don't hate you being together, or what you do... I just worry about your future together.) Xena said as she sat on the little couch next to her daughter and smiled warmly at her. (I may argue and get mad at you, but I love you Adella, and I love Yuko... and you being together. But... a relationship between a human and Pokemon isn't easy to hide without slipping up, and if you two... get together and... he breeds you...)

(Mom, I think Yuko and I are old enough to raise a kit of our own, I mean... 'you' did well with me, right?) Adella said looking down at her mother.

(Yea but... there are days I keep thinking if I made a mistake along the way.) She whispered quietly to herself. (Heh... Yuko acted almost like a father to you for a while, remember?)

(And now I sleep in the same bed as him while you stay here!) Adella snickered before she paused and looked seriously at her mother. (Who is my father mom, you haven't told me for the past fourteen years, why won't you tell me?)

(Because I don't want to, alright? I don't want to talk about it, and you don't need to know who your 'real' father is to be happy.) Xena said as she got up and started leaving.

(You can't keep hiding it from me forever mom, sooner or later I'll find out.)

Xena closed the door behind her as she headed to the kitchen to look at what was available to work on later that day.

She knew that sooner or later her daughter would find out, but she didn't want to tell her for fear that she'd ruin what she had with her Yuko.

She sighed as she adjusted her clothes that she wore and looked at her accursed fur, her damn fur that marked her... as a shiny Pokemon according to trainers. The fact that she was a 'female' shiny made her extremely rare and extremely valuable and desirable. It was a highly common fact that her species was skewered in terms of the male to female ratio, with only about 12.5 percent of them being female.

She sighed as she replaced her clothes, straightened her hat and began rummaging for pots and pans.

(Why couldn't you be her father instead?) She whispered as she pictured her Yuto, holding her instead of her daughter, slowly pressing his lips against he-

*smack*

She smacked herself to stop those thoughts, shook her head and glared at her reflection. (My daughter is happy, she loves Yuko and he loves her, be happy for them!) She snarled at herself.

But that didn't mean that the tears were already streaking from her eyes while she began pouring water into the pot so she could work on dinner.

(Yuko's and Adella's PoV)

Their trip through Sinnoh continued as before, with them traveling on the road, occasionally stopping so Yuko can sleep and rest. Occasionally he had to fix something with the mobile home or stopped for a gas refill, but other than those minor pit stops they didn't stop for anything else. Several days passed and Yuko found a nice little rest area where he and Adella could have a proper date.

He prepared a little midnight picnic basket for them, simple sandwiches and little juice cups so they could eat and enjoy the quiet night with a little harvest moon and stars in the sky.

When all was done, he and Adella waved Xena goodbye and said they'd be back in a few hours.

"Alright, a nice little forest area, good view of the stars and the moon, a picnic blanket, like I promised!" He said as he unrolled their items for dinner and they both got situated to enjoy the night.

(I am impressed, you picked a good spot like you promised!) Adella said with a smile as she sat with her legs laying sideways so she could enjoy the picnic. (Hmmm, whatever did you make for us tonight?)

"Oh, nothing too special, just a few magikarp sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, and some mayo."

(So, leftovers huh?) She giggled as she took a bite and watched the moon slowly rising in the distance.

Off to the side they watched as a flight of Zubat took off, some Dustox began fluttering around, and they heard the occasional sound of night life Pokemon making their presence heard. There were hardly any clouds in the sky, and little stars began twinkling into existance to create this beautiful scenery before them. The air smelled cool and the little breeze made him feel like it was going to rain yet at the same time it contrasted to the sky above.

Both of them just smiled as they enjoyed the night time atmosphere and each other's company.

Yuko turned to Adella hand her a juice cup and they both took a swig before resuming looking around and enjoying the night air.

"Adella, do you know if your mom wants anything for her birthday coming up in a few days?"

(No, I tried asking... but she just kept saying 'no'.) She sighed sadly. (Even popped the idea of a new stick for her but she didn't want one... I've never heard of a Braixen 'not' want to keep a stick... it's how we use our psychic powers. I know my mom is... weird but, to not even want a 'stick' to use her powers?)

"She has her reasons... I wish I could explain but trust me, she has her reasons for not wanting a stick."

(You know a lot about my mother, can you tell me why she won't tell me who my father is?) She asked him curiously.

He shook his head as he looked at her, frowning as he wanted to tell her, but he promised Xena not to tell Adella anything she didn't want to talk about herself. "I wish I could, I really want to tell you, but I made a promise to Xena that I wouldn't say anything that she doesn't want to talk about."

Adella groaned inwardly as she took another bite out of her sandwich, before finishing it off. She hated how secretive her mother was some days, what was her father a 'ditto' or something?

No matter what species her father was she didn't care, she just wanted to know who or what her father was.

(Alright, enough about mom, let's talk about 'us'...) She said with a smile. (How about...)

*Snap*

They looked around at that sound as they both got a little nervous. Out of habit, she felt her necklace to make sure it was there tonight, and sure enough it was. She often wore a depowered Pokeball necklace when going out to make it appear like her human was a Trainer and she was his partner Pokemon, and not his girlfriend in public. She took a calming breath as she felt the necklace and idly waved it around.

"Probably other people walking around enjoying the night."

(Y'know, maybe we should do our 'date antics' in the mobile home?)

Yuko nodded in agreement, not doing anything else as they continued to pretend to be just a Pokemon and Human enjoying the night as well as a late-night lunch.

After a few more sandwiches they finished their lunch and were about to go back to the home, when they heard the rustling of some bushes nearby. Out of curiosity Yuko walked over to the bush to check it out, but found nothing in the bushes.

"I thought I heard something..." He muttered as he straightened up and turned back to Adella. "Sorry, thought I hear domsething in the bushes an-"

Immediately something hit the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Adella tried to help after she saw a hooded figure with a wooden bat in their hand standing over him, but immediately afterward someone grabbed her from behind and held a tissue over her nose, forcing her to breathe in a 'strange smell' that caused her to become dizzy, her vision getting hazy and everything feeling 'sluggish'.

Everything after that was a weird 'haze', she felt herself slipping in and out of full alertness to her surroundings.

"Hey we got lucky, this one's a girl!" One of them said.

"Sweet, I always wanted to have fun with a Delphox." The other said.

She struggled to fight of whatever it was that was affecting her mind as she felt them lay her on the ground, and as she did her mind began to slip back into full clarity again, but her body was struggling to catch up.

As her vision began to clear she realized what it was they wanted with her as she felt them spreading the fur surrounding her legs.

"Hey she's coming around; I thought you used the strong stuff!"

"It 'is' the strong stuff, she's a psychic type, it doesn't work as much on them!"

They were right, her mind was beginning to break through whatever 'drug' they used on her, but her body was another story, it was trying to fight off the drug's effect but she still couldn't really move her legs or arms. But she could at least 'talk'.

(Let... let me go!) She pleaded.

"Dude she's talking to us, what do we do if she..."

"Don't worry, I'll just give her another-"

*Wham*

Instantly a branch hit one of the guys holding her, the one holding it was Yuko, stumbling and fumbling around as he struggled to stay focused, but he was holding the tree branch in hand and trying to defend her. However, he was still reeling from the bat to the back of his head, so he was unable to properly stand up straight while trying to fight off their attackers.

"This guy's still standing?" One of their attackers said as they got up and started beating him up even worse. "Grrrg, you need to learn to 'stay down'!"

"Gah..." Yuko hollered in pain, causing Adella to force her body to start working faster, trying to help Yuko as her mind started to function properly.

'Come on, come on... come on!' She screamed as she slowly rolled over and began crawling to a nearby twig that had snapped off when Yuko used his branch as a weapon.

It wasn't her wand, her preferred stick that she used to focus her powers, but at this point it didn't matter, a stick is a stick!

While the two guys were injuring Yuko, they didn't see a small purple fur colored Braixen running from the nearby rest area, her body wrapped in flames as she charged forward and smacked into one of them, shutting off her flames before using the sheer force of the attack to try and knock off Yuko's attackers. Xena managed to force them off but because of how fast and how hard she had been running, she couldn't control herself properly. This attack she used resulted in her tumbling into a nearby tree, and hitting her head a little harder than she had anticipated.

"Arg that burned... what the hell hit me?!"

"Holy shit, this guy has a 'Braixen' as well, and it's a shiny one to boot!"

"Is... is it wearing 'clothes', are those 'panties'?"

Xena looked up and realized that they discovered her secret, quickly she closed her legs up and began freezing up, staring in shock and fear as she looked at the two attackers. All of her bravado from before was gone now.

Adella meanwhile had reached the twig, grabbed it in her hands, turned around and launched a strange flame that took on the form of a circle, before launching a burst of flame at the attackers. It was weird, she'd never used this move before, that she would later learn was called Mystical Fire, but in her silent rage at the fact that these two 'Pokephiles' attacked her, attacked her boyfriend and brutally injured him, tried to take advantage of her, and now looked like they were going to hurt her 'mother', her mind seemed to automatically call upon her latent powers to create an attack that she never did before in her life.

It was almost instinctual as she attacked these two humans and slowly got to her feet, furious and making her body fight off what remained of the drug's effect on her so she could fight them off. It was enough it seemed as this display finally drove them to run away, resulting in Adella breathing heavily as she dropped her stick and knelt on the ground, while in the distance several people were making their way over with some of them having their own Pokemon.

After the new arrivals showed up, a police report was made and a nearby officer, called Jenny who was on patrol that night, took their report on the individuals that attacked them, and began tracking them down with her Growlithe assistant. After all was said and done, they all returned to their home, locked up the vehicle and spent the rest of the night sleeping, just recovering from the experience.

Yuko had suffered a nosebleed, and the back of his head had a big black spot on it, so he would need to spend a day or two recovering, which means all of their plans for the trip 'to' their destination were now off schedule.

Since Yuko couldn't drive while lying in bed recovering, they stayed at the rest stop, which gave Adella and Xena time to talk.

(Xena and Adella's PoV)

(Mom... tell me.) Adella said quietly as they sat on the couch.

(I don't want to talk about it...) Xena whispered as she chose to read a book.

(Mom, you 'never' leave the mobile home, 'never'... why did you leave that night?) She pressed. (You never leave mom, I'm glad you did but 'still'... why. And during the fight, you froze up... you had them off guard and all they did was mention that you were a girl as well as look at you... and you froze up. So why?)

Xena pretended to ignore her, choosing to focus on her book.

(This has to do with 'dad' doesn't it?)

She tensed up at that.

(I knew it... mom, tell me why you won't tell me about my dad? I won't stop asking... I'm not a little Fennekin anymore, I deserve the right to know! Why won't you tell me what my dad was or 'why' you don't want to talk about him?)

Xena was quiet as she stayed glued to her book, before she slowly closed it, gently placed it on the floor in front of her, and just sat there, staring at the floor before her. This creeped Adella out more than anything else, she'd never seen her mother so... 'silent', acting so... weird. She was normally talkative, maybe a bit argumentative, but no matter how many times they had a fight one day, the next they were back to their usual 'mother-daughter' relationship. But this time, she was actually wanting her mother to start yelling just so she would stop creeping her out.

(Alright... you win.) Xena whispered quietly. (Your father... is a human.)

Her eyes snapped wide open at that, suddenly she had ideas flying into her head, the first of which...

(No... it's not him, Yuko isn't your father... though... I honestly wish he were... at least... then I'd be happier knowing who the father was.) Xena whispered, anticipating that thought already. (Truth is dear, I'm just barely older than you are... I evolved into a Braixen sooner than when you did, a result of being 'trained'. It's not that I don't know 'how' to fight... I just choose not to... I don't like adventuring trainers; I don't like going outside... I stay in here because... it's safe here.)

Adella frowned in sadness as she heard that, but another thought crossed her mind as she learned this new information about her mother. She was 'barely' older than her?

(How old are you?)

Xena didn't look up as she continued to stare at the floor before her. (Just under two years older than you...)

She did the math, she's nearly seventeen years old, so her mother was actually 'nineteen'. (And Yuko was working for the circus since he was fifteen... so...)

(So, I had you a short while after Yuko took me in... the reason why I don't talk about it... is because... I don't want you thinking anything bad about your boyfriend Yuko.) She continued. (You see, the reason why most Pokemon evolve so fast with humans is because of the fact that they enter environments where they have to evolve fast, battle, tends to cause a Pokemon to evolve faster than anticipated. Otherwise, a Fennekin can go its whole life without 'ever' evolving, but certain things cause a Pokemon to evolve, a bond with a human, its surrounding environment... diet, external stimuli, a host of reasons. I was originally a 'gift' to Yuko... but, heh... humans have a funny way of naming themselves.)

She began crying slightly, her tears touching her fur which caused it to evaporate due to her natural body heat. She recalled 'why' she hated trainers, hated adventuring, hated leaving the safety of her new home. It was ironic in a way, she was told by her previous human that she was to be sent to be Yuko's 'protector'.

She still refused to use the old name, instead calling him 'Yuko' so she wouldn't have to remember those days.

She smiled at the irony... a sad smile, now she was remembering those days despite her attempts.

(I was to be given to Yuko, as a 'starter', his partner, his friend for life, to be there by his side, to help him grow, watch him grow, grow up with him, beside him... I was to be a mirror of him, that was my dream the entire time I sat in the ball waiting to meet my human partner. Well... I met him, problem is... it was the wrong 'Yuko'. His 'dad' got to me first, simple name mistake... but it ruined my life then.)

She hiccupped and started crying.

(Yuko, your boyfriend, isn't his real name, he changed it... you see, at the time he was away for summer camp. My previous trainer, was sending me to be 'that' Yuko's first Pokemon, he'd always wanted a Fennekin for a present but... I evolved sooner than anticipated. But he still hoped he'd love me just the same, well... his 'dad' sure loved me... in fact... loved me so much he... he... he... I would try to hide but he'd always find me and-)

At that she began crying harder and harder, her smile fading to a frown as she wept. Her daughter slowly edged over and held her close, trying to comfort her.

Adella didn't need to hear the rest; she figured it out now.

(So, what... happened after?)

Xena wept quietly for a bit longer, Adella patiently waiting and letting her mother cry until she was ready. When she stopped, she shook her head and hiccupped some more. (Yuko's father was abusive, the mother had died, that's why he s-sp-spent so much time away from home. He found out that... his father was abusing me, and I learned of the mistake in identity... it was then I realized who Yuko 'really' was... but by then it was too late, the damage was done, I'd just wanted to run away. To get away, far away... so... we did.)

She looked to her daughter and smiled sadly at her.

(He took my ball, and we fled... ran away to the circus... the same circus that... you've been performing for-for the last fifteen years. He changed his name so that he became Yuko, and don't ask what he was called before, we both agreed never to say that name again.) She whispered as she shook in her daughter's grip. (After a few months... I had you... and Yuko... Arceus bless him... promised to help take care of you 'and' me. I watched him day after day, working to take care of us. I tried to help but... his father had shaken me mentally, I didn't want to go out in public anymore for fear of being spotted by him, no matter where we went, that fear...)

(And that's why... you don't like us staying at the circus, it reminds you of...)

Xena nodded; she didn't want them to stay with the Circus their whole lives because it reminds her of the fact that they had to 'run' to the circus just to escape that dysfunctional household.

(Did you ever... like Yuko? I mean if he did all of that for you, for me... surely you must have...)

Xena sighed as she nodded. (After we left the region that we lived in, I started seeing Yuko more positively... at times when you were growing up, I often pictured myself being 'his' mate instead, and giving you the dad, you deserved. But I kept waiting, kept pushing it off, thinking I'll keep waiting, today's not the right day, tomorrow will be the day, the next night will be perfect, and so on and so on... then... well, you became a Braixen, and started liking him... then you became a Delphox and he began crushing on you and then... you began kissing and making out behind my back and soon I realized... I'd lost my chance.)

She looked away in shame as the truth came out at long last, she was jealous of her daughter, jealous that she'd stolen the human she 'wished' had been her daughter's father.

(Mother... w-why didn't you ever tell me?) She asked in shock.

(You were happier not knowing... and I was happier that way as well... after I found out you two were dating... I just... tried to ignore my feelings and be happy for you two. But it kept getting harder and harder as time went on. The only time I was able to forget you two being in a relationship was when he and I were driving together... it was just me and him and... I was happy because of it.)

(We were dating for five years though, since I evolved into a Delphox... I know in human years that's a very young but we mature quicker, but still... you had all that time until... why didn't you ever...)

(Like I said... I was always pushing it away, saying to wait, I didn't have confidence in myself so...) Xena whispered sadly as she got up, picked up her book and placed it on a little shelf where she stored her books. (Besides... you two have each other, as long as your happy then I am happy, so don't worry about me... as your mother my job is to take care of you, not have you worrying about my wishes.)

Adella frowned as she realized just how 'alone' her mother was now, all those years wanting to find a 'better human' or just a better 'mate' in general compared to what happened to her, and then finding one but her constant hesitation and fear of rejection pushed her away. Then when time passed, she lost her chance because her daughter and the human of her interests found themselves attracted to one another, leaving her alone to watch them have what she deeply 'wanted'. Every day she stayed cooped up in this mobile home, but she never once tried to leave, no matter how much she complained or they fought one another, she always stayed right by them... by Yuko. How many times did she leave when they got too friendly, or how often did she spy on them when they were acting like a couple, how many times did she probably hate herself for even 'thinking' of how jealous she was feeling because of what her daughter had?

(Mom... do you still, love Yuko?) She asked timidly.

She could tell the answer instantly as she watched her mother keep a paw on the book case, glancing at the little trinkets on it, a picture of the three of them after Adella had evolved. It was one she had so much fun with because Adella, now fully evolved, could actually 'hold' her mother with both arms and this got her slightly angry at her because of how embarrassing it was to the Braixen, while Yuko just laughed at them in the picture.

But Xena was quiet, she just closed her eyes and placed her little claw over her heart, thinking of the first time she truly felt she was in love with him. It was the first time he took an apprenticeship to become a magician from the previous 'retiring' magician of the circus, and the enthusiasm he had for it. Her little Fennekin had jumped into his arms and they had a barrel of laughs at the idea of him performing magic. At that moment all she thought about was how nice he was and... how nice it would be if... she saw he was getting more mature, and he was already mature for his age so... it wasn't hard for her imagination to see the two of them as...

(I can't answer that... no... more like I'm afraid to answer it.) She whispered quietly. (I don't want to... ruin what you two have... I'm happy you two are happy and... I just don't want to come between you two with my selfish wishes.)

Adella was quiet as she thought about it, before taking a deep breath, and then getting up, going over and kneeling down so she could hug her mother from behind.

(Mom... I want you to be happy as well... so... will you at least listen to my idea before you oppose it?) She whispered. (I love you as well after all, and I love Yuko... and I know this is going to sound weird but... would you be into the idea of...)

Xena listened as her daughter chose to 'speak' her idea instead of using her telepathy, and her eyes went wide in surprise and her cheeks blushed beneath her fur at the idea.

(A th-th-th-three-way relationship?) She stuttered in disbelief.

(Oh, come on, I read about those kinds of relationships on the internet, three partners agree to a mutual relationship with each other. I think it could be a nice way to keep our family together!) She whispered warmly as she looked at her mother with a smile. (Look... I love Yuko and he loves me. I love you and he loves you as well mom, I'm sure we can make it work... that is... if you still love him?)

Xena stopped acting surprised when she heard the words 'he loves you as well'. (Wait... he loves me?)

Adella nodded as she told her that. (Yep, every time we're together alone we always talk about you... it's almost always positive, trust me, and even when I complain about you, he spins it into something nice about you. Every time we talk about you, he asks if you're alright, if there's something you might like or want, if you want to do something special or, anything really. I think deep down he also loves you but, since we were dating it was a... different, kind of love... but still love nonetheless.)

Xena was a little on the nervous side, but the idea... the thought that, she could still 'have' Yuko as long as she could accept sharing him with her daughter, was tempting.

(Will... he... would he... like it?)

(I think we can tempt him into the idea... but how about I talk to him about it first?) Adella said as she let her mother go. (Oh, but before I do... just so you know... if we 'do' agree on this, we need to lay some ground rules mother... I'll explain later, for now, 'our' boyfriend is waiting for me.)

With that she got up and walked over to the bedroom to talk with her boyfriend, leaving Xena to think by herself.

(Enter Yuko's PoV)

Adella walked into the bedroom where Yuko was currently sitting in bed, stretching his arms as he started getting ready to get them going late at night on the road again. They had lost a few days travel time thanks to that attack, but he paused as Adella walked in with a little smile on her.

"What's up Adella?" He asked her as she sat next to him.

(I just had a talk with my mom... she told me the truth at last... the whole truth.) She said with a sad smile. (So that's why she didn't want to tell me anything, your dad took advantage of her, she had me, and you ran away with her to join this circus so you could get away? All because it hurt her mentally and physically, and because she didn't want our relationship to be soured?)

He looked shocked at her declaration, before sighing and nodding sadly. "I promised her I wouldn't tell you, or I would have."

(Don't feel ashamed... knowing my parentage doesn't change how I feel about 'you' Yuko. He may be my 'father', but your father is in no way related to me, as such, my feelings for you haven't changed in even the slightest. But now, I need to ask to ask you a few things... because mom and I had a very interesting talk.) She said as she held his hand. (How do you feel about my mom?)

"How do I feel about her?" He asked. "Well, I care about her, she was supposed to be my starter, but... well, things didn't happen the way we imagined. But no matter what I always will care a lot for her, because I promised myself, I would take good care of her."

She smiled at that.

(So... if say for whatever Arceus given reason, she happened to have had a thing for you, what would you say?)

"Huh?" Yuko said in surprise. "She... what?"

Adella nodded as she smiled at him. (I know, my reaction as well... I didn't realize she had a thing for you for even longer than me... and I know this will sound weird, given how you feel about 'us'... but would you be willing to... 'share' yourself? I want my mother to be happy, she's tormented herself for 'years', years... watching us be 'us'. She had a horrible... mate... with your father, I want her to have a good one finally.)

He was a little weirded out to say the least, his girlfriend, even if she was a Pokemon, asking him to date her mother 'while' he was dating her? But he still did care about Xena, and he wanted her to be happy as well, and if being with him makes the Braixen happy, and if they are both willing to do this with him, then why not at least give it a try?

"Alright, if you're sure about having this kind of relationship with your mother as well..."

Adella smiled as she turned and called her mother into the room as well. Moments later the door opened and the Braixen walked in, closing the door behind her and revealing that she wasn't wearing any of her usual clothes that she always wore while walking around the mobile home. Her panties were gone, her dress was gone, and she was holding her hat in her hands with a nervous smile as she looked around.

(Mom, what's with the...)

(It's embarrassing enough doing this, don't tease me anymore alright?) She told them both. (I wear those clothes because... Yuko bought them for me alright? I asked for some... 'protection' when I was... still afraid, and I just got used to wearing them all the time. But this is the real me, I'm... not afraid to be seen like you are Adella... aslongasitsYukoImean!) She quickly stammered as she talked to them.

Both of them giggled as Xena went from being the typical 'mom' they were both familiar with to this adorable Braixen trying to look nice in front of them.

Eventually Xena placed her hat on a small clothes counter and climbed onto the bed to sit next to Yuko, she looked at him with a nervous smile. "Xena, have you always liked me?" He asked her.

Xena gulped as she nodded, (It started after we ran away... it took a few months but... eventually I started liking you... and it kept growing after I had Adella, I was nervous, scared, always pushing off the idea of asking you to... be my mate, but eventually it got to the point where... I really wanted to... but then you and Adella started... and well... you know the rest.)

He nodded as he picked up Xena's hand and held it within the palm of his own.

"Well, are you alright with this arrangement? I mean, you, me and Adella?" He asked.

Xena took a deep breath before smiling warmly at him and nodding. (I know, my daughter said we had to lay some ground rules. Speaking of which... what are those?)

Adella nodded as she chose to stand in front of them so she had their attention. (Alright, firstly, Yuko, as you know we'll be sharing you... but just so both you and mom know, the only way this relationship will work... is if 'all' of us agree to divide our affections equally between the three of us. No matter what, each of us gets an equal share of each other's love so to speak. So, some days, you spend with me and others, you can spend with my mother.)

"Okay, seems fair."

(Second, mom, now that we are all agreeing to do this, from this moment on, you are only my mother in 'name'... since Yuko was officially my boyfriend first, you have to accept that I'm no longer your little Fennekin, I'm your sister 'mate'. We share the same mate now, so I get equal respect as you would give Yuko, and I will give you the same.) She stated.

(I guess that's a small sacrifice...) Xena said.

(Finally... since I'm assuming the position as 'first girl' in this relationship... I get first dibs on 'everything'.) She said with a smile as she leaned forward and kissed Yuko, pushing him to lie flat on the bed.

It was sudden but once Adella slipped her tongue into Yuko's mouth, she smirked as she saw him starting to get into it as well.

(H-hey you can't suddenly start without me! Don't I at least get a first 'kiss'?)

Adella smirked as she pulled her boyfriend up into a sitting position.

(Oh Yuko, 'mom' wants to be 'kissed'... give her a good one to... erase all of her bad memories for me?) She said before looking at him with an honest tone in her voice as she whispered that last part to him alone.

Yuko nodded as Adella climbed off and turned to Xena who was looking a little shy and nervous as she edged closer and looked into his eyes with the same eyes, she once showed him years ago when he pulled her from that 'home' and ran away. A semblance of trust that she chose to give him.

Trusting him she allowed him to gently lift her chin and slowly closed the distance between them.

"May I Xena?"

Xena breathed heavily as her heart beat raced. Timidly she nodded, and closed her eyes so she could finally... at long last, feel as he pressed his lips against those of her muzzle.

The feeling of being kissed... she couldn't describe it, there was just something so 'wonderful' as she felt how soft his lips were to her own. In an instant all of her fears seemed to melt as she finally felt herself just melt into that warm embrace of her secret lover that she'd been wishing she had for so many years.

(Mhmmm Yuko... I... it feels good...) She whispered happily to him. (I love it...hah!)

She gasped in surprise as she felt one of his hands reach below and start rubbing her entrance between her legs. She began gasping in surprise as she didn't expect this to escalate so quickly, but soon enough she started wiggling in delight as he continued his caressing of her private part. Though she noticed after he stopped kissing her that Adella had already undid his garments and was gently stroking his deck with a grin as she pulled him into a kiss with her, smirking as her mother was surprised to see her acting this way.

(Hey, I thought... you said that night... you never did it with him? You said... you wanted your first time to be special...)

Adella smiled as she separated from Yuko and they looked at her. (Okay, so yea, we 'haven't' crossed that line yet, but we... have done a bit more with one another... nothing serious, but we aren't exactly... pure as white snow virgins mom.)

(I don't know if I should be happy or angry...) She whispered as she watched them kiss more passionately.

It was true, despite how much restraint they showed, both Adella and Yuko had gotten friskier with one another on occasion, which is why Adella was so much more relaxed with gently stroking her boyfriend's hardening dick and why his other hand was gently caressing her small breasts beneath all of her chest fur, hidden from sight but still very much there.

He began softly playing with the little small mound with one hand as she moaned and leaned heavily into her kiss with him. Her body's natural heat warming his hand as she pulled apart her fur between her legs to allow herself to touch the entrance to her pussy, slowly fingering it to get it ready as she knew that today was the day the two of them were finally going to swipe that annoying 'vcard' they were each carrying.

Once she felt that his dick wasn't getting any harder, she looked down, pulled back and grinned as she climbed off the bed and slowly began licking it from the base to the tip while he reached up and pulled off his shirt to throw it away.

She began inhaling his musky scent as she slowly licked every inch of his hard member, becoming increasingly intoxicated as she felt her body reacting to the scent of a male as they prepared to mate with one another. She could not wait much longer, but she had to take her time and enjoy this act since it was a very special one.

After a few more licks to lube it up, she opened her muzzle and pulled it entirely within her mouth, slowly bobbing up and down.

"Oh Adella... that feels wonderful... your mouth is so warm and soft." He whispered as she continued to suck and lick at his dick.

(Uhm... may I do that as well?) Xena asked timidly as she got up from the bed now. (I mean, he's going to be my mate too... I want to please him as well before we all... you know.)

Adella smirked as she nodded lightly, before taking a very long moment to slowly pull her mouth away from his dick, allowing it to leave with a slight 'pop' upon exiting. She shifted over back onto the bed and sat beside him to allow both of his hands to fondle her breasts, while also kissing him, and letting her mother now tend to his dick.

Xena gulped as she stared at his dick, twitching ever so slightly with each passing second. It was bigger than she last remembered, or perhaps it was because it was now directly in front of her, but she swears, the last time she saw it when she 'peaked' in on him one day while changing, that it was smaller than it was now.

She decided to first kiss the head, telling it that she's happy to meet it. Then she placed both paws on it and started 'gently' stroking the length, occasionally kissing it and sometimes licking they very tip, just enough to keep it wet. Then she slowly opened her mouth and slid it, ever so slightly inside.

If Adella's mouth was like a warm embrace to Yuko's dick, then Xena's was a tight vice. Because she was smaller his dick barely fit within her mouth's embrace. As she pushed it more into her, she had to fight and suppress her gag reflex. She eventually started to bob her head up and down, sucking it like her daughter did.

"Oh arceus... Xena... oh that feels so nice!"

Xena smiled as she bobbed more, glad that he was enjoying her treatment. She was so close to his manhood that a musky scent began filling her nostrils, and it started triggering something in her mind. Her mind began remembering all the times 'he' forced her to do this, but in her desire to forget, to remind herself that this 'wasn't' him, she took a deep waft, not stopping until she couldn't breathe anymore without hurting herself.

'It's Yuko's scent... not him... forget it... he's not here anymore, he's not Yuko... we're doing this for Yuko!' She thought fiercely. 'We'd never do this for him... we'd never... but we're doing it for Yuko because we love him!'

That's right as she thought that, she loved Yuko, and as she resumed bobbing at a faster pace, her fears, her hesitation was thrown out the window at long last, she had no more worries as she wanted more of her Yuko.

She opened her eyes and slowly pulled his dick out with a nice pop as she began feeling it pulsing, the telltale sign of him getting ready to release.

(Yuko... I think it's time!) Xena said seductively.

Both Yuko and Adella nodded as Adella lay on her back while Yuko climbed on top of her, spreading her legs and shifting her fur apart to reveal her entrance to him.

Adella smiled as her entrance was wet and ready for him, and as he lined up, she felt a shiver course through her body.

She gave him a nod of permission as they both gripped each other's hands and she felt him lean in close to kiss her.

"Ready to take the plunge Adella?"

(Always Yuko... now let's have a real 'Grand Finale'...)

At that he leaned close and held her tightly, while kissing her lovingly, her legs closing and locking him in place and her arms wrapping around his back to hold him tightly as he slowly pressed in.

With every inch he pushed into her body, he felt her body's heat just smother his dick in this pleasurable, gentle 'warmth'. Despite how wet she was it she felt extremely hot and tight around his dick. Then he felt his dick touch this little 'barrier' inside of her passage, and as he'd already been given her blessing, he pressed onward instead of hesitating. It resisted at first, but then after a single nudge it broke.

Adella's whole body tensed up as she felt the pain of losing her virginity, but she suppressed it as told him to begin.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he saw her tears.

She scrunched in pain for a bit, before smiling and nodding happily. (Don't worry, the pain will pass... now continue darling... don't keep me waiting!)

He nodded and started pulling out, before thrusting back into her with slightly more force than before.

She gasped in pleasure as her body reacted to this new sensation. Each time his dick slid slightly out her vagina constricted, as if trying to keep him inside of her, and when he pushed back it expanded to allow him entry. This weird sensation was causing her pleasure as she gasped and moaned in pleasure, her body feeling this wonderful feeling that was starting to drive her slightly crazy. From that moment on all her body wanted was for him to keep thrusting in and out, to keep giving her this sense of pleasure.

(Ah... hah... hah... oh... yes... yes Yuko... oh it feels good... does it... is it good for you?)

"Yes, yes it does... you feel tight, you're so warm inside as well..." He whispered as he began thrusting harder into her body.

(Ghah... hah... oh... thank you... more... harder... harder... oh don't stop!) She moaned in delight.

Her gasps of pleasure were accompanied by the constant light slapping sound as Yuko thrust in and out of her passage, each time sending shivers and waves of pleasure through her body. After a while he paused in his thrusting to slowly press in and out, wanting to prolong their experience, and he also wanted to enjoy a loving kiss with his girlfriend while doing so. Their mouths wrapped around each other and Adella's tongue slid into his mouth to playfully wrap around his, where they danced a loving dance as she moaned with each minor thrust, her eyes twinkling in delight as she felt one with her human lover.

Xena was not idle as she watched the two of them go at it, the entire time she was fingering her entrance and wishing he would take her soon, but she didn't want to interrupt him. But each time she watched him thrust in and out of her passage, all she could do was wonder if he would even 'fit' for her?

Still, she had to admit, it was very 'exciting' watching her daughter have sex in front of her, knowing that once the two of them were done, she was next.

After a few minutes he smiled and pulled out until only the tip was left inside, and then instantly thrust as hard as he could into the Delphox.

She yipped in ecstasy as he continued to thrust as hard as he did that time, pushing her harder and harder into the bed. Her womb entrance kept kissing the tip of his dick with each thrust, to her it felt like he was trying to gain entry into her chamber, like he was trying to 'breed' her.

(Ah... hah.. Hah ah... oh, yes, yes... aah, Yuko, Yuko... Yuko!) She screamed happily as she clutched him harder, tightening her grip on him as he started picking up his pace, thrusting harder and harder as fast as he could. (Oh, yesh... ye... yea... oh... don't stop, right there... harder, harder... yes!)

"Gha... I'm, Adella... I'm about to..."

(Cum inside... inside, yes... oh don't stop, give me everything... ooooooooh yeees, yes! Hah... hah, hah hah hahahahahaoah.)

He thrust more, soon he wasn't even trying to pull out, he was just pushing harder and harder into her, and soon her womb's entrance was no longer kissing the tip of his dick, it was actively trying to suck it in, desperately, hungrily, trying to keep it from leaving it felt like.

"Hah... I'm... I'm... gyaaaaaah!"

(Haaaaaaaaaooohh!)

She screamed in ecstasy as she felt herself releasing in tandem with his own, right as the tip 'shoved' into her womb and released his hot seed into her chamber. She felt him thrust more slightly with each spurt of cum he released into her, his gooey essence coating and marking her body forever as his.

She was seeing stars as she rode her sexual high out with him, soon their bodies relaxed and she cooed in delight as she kissed him, thanking him for a wonderful experience, and hoping a 'root' was planted.

After they were done, she nodded and told him tiredly, (One down... one to go... honey~)

He sighed as he slowly slid out of her, causing her to sigh in sadness as she felt him leave her body, feeling their juices leak out of her.

Xena was panting with excitement as she climbed onto Yuko's lap and helped guide his dick to the entrance to her pussy. It was twitching in wet excitement at the idea of mating with a male that 'just' mated with her daughter, and still had enough energy for her.

As she felt the tip kiss her entrance, she took a deep breath, and smiled as she felt him hold her cheek with one hand, while the other held her other hand.

Whatever fear or anxiety she had with mating her beloved human now had vanished, she was about to become one with him and finally, at long last, put to rest the past she'd been dreading for so many years.

"Ready Xena?" He asked her.

Xena nodded as she readjusted herself, and then took one final breath before the plunge.

(Make me yours... remove what's left of that 'stain' in me... my love!)

With that he sat up, kissed her sweetly, before she pushed herself down and impaled herself onto his rod.

There was zero pain as she began to bounce up and down, letting its wetness from his previous fun ease her sex into this action of making love to him. Her body didn't feel any pain or hesitation with this human, despite his size she easily compensated and found herself feeling pleasure with each time he pushed in and out of her sex.

Because of her smaller size, he easily pushed up to and even 'into' her womb, something that was not lost on her.

It felt like last time... but this time, her body seemed to 'welcome' the new guest inside of her. She moaned happily as she rode him, letting gravity do all the work and focusing on pleasuring not only herself but also him.

She smiled and pushed into him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him lovingly, letting her tongue tickle and wrap around his, pleasuring every part of it she could.

(Mhmmmkyuu...) She moaned as she looked at him with half lidded eyes. (It feels wonderful inside me... your 'bigger'... and... ooooh so much 'thicker'...)

He chuckled as he pulled her back and rolled over so that he could thrust into her like she did with Adella.

(Don't be too gentle with me... it's not my first time...)

He nodded as he began to pick up his pace, thrusting into and out of her passage as she gasped in pleasure now.

(Aho... oh yea... now... more... harder... ouhyea... hoooooh ya... just like that... oh don't stop Yuko!) She moaned as she kissed him.

She closed her eyes and just let him have his way, whatever tears were left in her from the past now dry as her love finally took her and made her his. Her womb was stuffed as he kept pushing in and out of it, each time he thrust in the head of his dick would hit the back of it, causing her to squeal in delight each time it happened. At one point he rubbed a particular spot along her passage and she gasped in immense pleasure.

(Ah... oh... do that again... that felt wonderful... AH!) She screamed telepathically to him.

Yuko realized he'd found her 'special spot', a pleasure point that caused her to wiggle in ecstasy as she tightened her grip on him with her legs and arms.

She let go of his mouth and kept panting each time he pushed in and out, her passage tightening as he kept hitting that pleasurable spot that drove her crazy. She kept cooing in delight the longer they went, eventually she could take anymore as she felt herself starting to release, her pussy leaking juices from the sexual pleasure.

"Xena, I'm sorry... but... I'm already about to..."

(Oh, not yet... please... hold it... not now... I'm feeling good... it feels ah... amazing!) She cried, begging him to not cum yet. (Ah... hah... yes... oh harder... harder... more... hah... hah!)

Adella smiled as she crawled over and pulled her lover into a kiss, smirking as he continued to thrust in and out of her at a rapid pace, acting like a Tauros trying to breed a Miltank. After a moment she snickered and let him go to lean down over to her mother.

(Oh mom... just reminding you... I'm the first mate. So, I get to do 'this' now...)

(Wha... what... ahah, now... you're telling memmmpfh!?) She cried out as her daughter 'kissed' her, but unable to respond in time she just tongue played with her as Yuko kept hitting the back of her womb.

Seeing the sight of the two fire-fox pokemon making out was just too, 'hot'... and he called out, "I'm about... to come!"

(Hmph, hhmph!) Xena tried to speak but her daughter's stronger psychic powers and sudden action had caused her to temporarily forget how to speak properly, all she could muster were muffled moans of delight. (Hmpph, mmmph, mhmhmm mmm hmm-mphmm-mhppmhm mhppppph!)

"Ghaaaaaa!" He screamed loudly as he shoved as deep as he could into the Braixen.

(Hmmmhaaaaaaaaa!) Xena screamed into their minds as she released as well right as Yuko came deep within her.

She could feel his sticky cum coating her walls, filling her up, feeling 'hot' despite being a fire type. She moaned and gasped with each little thrust he gave to call how many spurts he pushed into her body. After a few moments, he finally fell backward and she stared at the ceiling in the shadow of her sexual high.

Her daughter had let go of her lips, but she was just as tired as the two of them as Yuko collapsed on the bed between them. She smiled as she lay in bed next to him, and both of them smiled at him, nodding at one another, and choosing to cuddle up with their shared mate.

(My body... feels... happy... I can't explain it...) She whispered to herself, rubbing her belly lovingly.

She looked over and saw her daughter's heavy-lidded eyes staring at her with a warm look. (Remember now mom... 'Xena'... we're not just mother and daughter from here on out... we're mates... to a mate!) She whispered tiredly.

Xena accepted that; it was going to take some getting used to... but she accepted it.

As both Yuko and Adella fell into a deep sleep, she pulled the covers over them and looked at the clock, seeing it was past midnight.

She chuckled happily as she cuddled up to her family. (Thanks for the birthday present... both of you.) She whispered to them.

However, while the two of them were busy sleeping... inside one of the sleeping vixens... despite the heat that was rapidly killing them off, several little warriors were making their way, toward a single solitary egg...

(Some Time Later)

Two weeks had passed since the night Xena, Adella and Yuko had intercourse and became a three-way couple. It was a heavy change as the three of them got used to sharing each other's time and affection. Some days Adella would sit with Yuko in the driver's seat and enjoy his company while he drove, and other days it would be Xena. Some days Xena and Yuko would spend their time playing games to pass the time, and other times it would be Yuko and Adella.

On other occasions though, Xena and Adella spent 'time alone' to keep their new affection properly shared, and occasionally they'd bring him in to keep things fair and happy. Each day they greeted each other with a kiss, and each night they stayed together in the same bed, happy and loving their new life together.

However, one day after arriving at their new destination, while Adella and Yuko were practicing their new routine...

"Say... what?" He asked the vixen as she nervously smiled at the two of them.

(Ehehehe... uhm... yea...) Xena said sheepishly. (It seems you gave me... 'another' present... that night.)

Said Braixen was holding up a 'Pokemon Pregnancy Test' in her hands, and it showed 'two' lines... indicating it was positive.

(Are you SERIOUS?) Adella screamed at her mother. (I checked mine for two weeks to make sure we can do our magic act and it kept saying 'negative', you do one test because your feeling hungrier than normal and its positive?! AND HOW COME YOU GOT PREGNANT BEFORE ME; I'VE BEEN BANGING HIM EVERY OTHER DAY SINCE THAT NIGHT!)

(Well... what can I say, experience matters?) She giggled nervously.

"Oh Arceus..." Yuko muttered as Adella was seething with anger.

(I wanted to be the one to get pregnant, I was trying to get pregnant FIRST! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE FIRST IN EVERYTHING MOM!) She screamed.

(Ehehehe... sorry his seed didn't burn up in me?) Xena chuckled sadly. (I guess Yuko has to work harder now?)

He sighed as he was glad that he managed to work up the courage to ask the Ring Master for a pay rise, he was going to need it now.

While Yuko and Adella both had their reactions as she slowly slid into the kitchen to let them get it out of their systems, she paused to look at her belly and smiled warmly, gently placing both hands over it and thinking to herself... (I got what I wanted... after all these years...) She whispered happily, rubbing her belly with motherly strokes. (Finally... I don't feel sad... anymore...)

A single, solitary tear slid out of her left eye and landed on her cheek, evaporating... while a second slid out of the other, but 'didn't' evaporate, as it landed on her belly, where inside of her, the egg of her mate lay.

At least she had experience being a mom this time.
