Chapter 33
Unexpected Conflagration
Part 3: Heat
—————
A lazy mid-afternoon breeze blew through Ecruteak City; it was the closest thing to relief that the city had felt from the ever-stagnant heatwave since it had begun. The light wind managed to gently pluck some of the discolored and dying leaves from the trees throughout the town, giving the area an early autumn-like appearance. Children who ventured outside sought swimming pools or other cool activities to avoid the oppressive heat. Trainer traffic had been slowed to a minimum during the peak hours of the day.
Blocks away from the center of town, a Beldum hovered just out of sight of an open window, taking note of the conversation being had inside. A small bird sat on the windowsill, thankful for the breeze when it came, as his hysterical companion repeated her question.
“Show me, please?”
“I will not.”
“You have to,” she pleaded.
“Ever since I… changed into this, Allan and I kept getting into a bunch of stupid fights, but the way he looked at me after we fought that Ice trainer… You’ve already seen how bad it’s gotten! He’s never been this angry before! You have to help me!”
“No I don’t,” Xutan’s voice held an uninterested tone.
“Show me or else…” she warned.
“And what would you do if I don’t?”
“I’ll burn you,” she growled.
“No you won’t. We both know that.”
“Please Xutan, don’t do this… not now,” she begged.
Umari was running out of options; she felt like the world was closing in on her. She had tried everything she could think of to get her friend to help her, but he would not budge.
“Please just show me!”
“I will not, because I cannot!” Xutan stared his teammate down defiantly. “My abilities are too immature to accomplish anything similar to what you’re asking of me.”
“Just show me what’s going to happen to me! I need to know… I— I’m afraid he’s going to… release me. I need your help. Please just show me if he does or not!”
Xutan steadied himself on his perch near the window; a sudden gust of wind had caught him off guard. “Umari, I’m not at liberty to discuss our master’s feelings, but don’t you think he would have released you by now if that was the case?”
Two days had passed since Allan and Umari had accepted the challenge to battle on Route 37. The trainer and Pokémon had traveled together in silence after their heated argument over Umari’s performance during the fight.
Since returning to their home in Ecruteak City, Allan had barely spoken to Umari, only doing so to alert her to meals. He spent most of his time out of the house or in whatever room his Flareon wasn’t. They were stuck waiting at his childhood home until a package arrived from his parents, who were still overseas in the Unova region.
“Wait, what do you mean? Does that mean you’ve talked to him about this? When?”
“I have discussed several matters with our master at length since we arrived here. I have only given my advice as an impartial observer and nothing else. Please understand that I will not betray his confidence on these matters, not even to you.”
“You’re telling me now! What did he say? Is he still mad? Why is he mad? What did I do to make him angry?”
“I cannot say,” he said solemnly.
“Did he say if he hated me?”
“I cannot tell you, Umari.”
“Did he have you use your powers? I know you must have some ability to see into time by now! What did he talk to you about? Please Xutan… tell me… anything…”
Xutan paused, choosing his next words wisely. “I will admit that our master has asked me to attempt to activate my precognitive abilities prematurely, but when and for what purpose I will not say. He expressly told me to never tell you what I saw for him. I am sorry.”
“He told you… not to… Why? Why!? Why can’t I know? How long have you been keeping these secrets from me? You know how much he means to me, don’t you?”
“I do, but unfortunately I am not allowed to tell you. Please, for your sake, cease your endeavors; questioning every little thing like this will only make matters worse. I think it is best for you to wait until these difficulties between you two to work themselves out.”
Umari huffed at him, and made for the door.
“Where are you going?”
“To find Allan.” She looked straight ahead, continuing forward. “If you won’t answer me, maybe he will.”
“You and I both know that talking to him now may have an unsatisfactory end result. My advice is—”
“You know,” she shot him an angry look, “for someone who can’t tell me anything, you sure like to dish out advice. For once, I think I’ll go and take care of this myself.” She reared up and pushed on the door handle, opening the door and rushing out of the house.
Xutan sighed and fluttered his wings, watching as the wind blew the door shut. “Did you get all that?”
Sontos floated down to his level, thinking over what he had just heard, “All of it. Considering your previous comments on the matter, it seems like this is getting to be quite troublesome for the two of them.”
“True, but all we can do now is hope this doesn’t spiral out of control any more than it has,” Xutan sighed. “You’re new to our group Sontos, so you wouldn’t know. Before you joined us, their relationship was slowly becoming more and more strained. This new development is now accelerating their issues with each other. I’m not sure how they’ll handle it; they’ve been through enough as it is.”
“What can we do to help?”
“Personally? I’d steer clear of the house tonight. Pass that along to Duncan if you would please.”
“And what of Master Allan’s family? Surely their influence would only complicate these matters further.”
“His parents are still away on their travels. It is highly unlikely that they will cause any problems. Now, if you would please go and roundup that pile of trouble, I have to prepare for our master’s eventual return…”
—————
The evening light intensified the color of the trees to the north of Ecruteak city. Much of the leaves bore their fall colors, every shade from red to yellow. Standing tall above the forest was Bell Tower, the golden monument to Ho-Oh shining brightly atop the pagoda. The sounds from the city failed to reach Bellchime Trail, leaving the place respectfully, and serenely silent.
Umari had caught the scent of her trainer while hastily scouring the city for his whereabouts. After being ignored and avoided ever since returning home, Allan’s scent reminded her of the time they spent together before she evolved. She didn’t want to lose that; she didn’t want that to become just a memory. She needed to find out what had gone wrong, and to fix it if she could.
She stayed off the main path once she entered the trail. While she was desperate to find him, she did not want to be spotted before she did. Why Allan had sought sanctuary in Bellchime Trail, she didn’t know.
Why did he come here of all places? I don’t remember coming here at all before we left on our journey, but he might’ve kept this place a secret too…
After following the path through the trees for a few minutes, she found what she was looking for. She saw Allan sitting on the edge of the stone walkway, his head slumped forward and in his hands. Umari could see him mouthing some words, but no sound escaped his lips. His eyes were wide and darted back and forth. Every few moments his hands would switch between being pressed against his face to running through his hair, and being clenched into fists.
He’s really worried about something… I’ve never seen him like this. He must really be—
“Goddammit!”
Allan slammed his left fist into the stone at his side, his shout momentarily shattering the silence of the area. Recovering from the initial shock, Umari cautiously looked back up to see him, fist still planted, panting and holding a fierce gaze with the ground. He slowly brought his hand up, lightly flexing his sore fingers. He covered his face with his right hand, exhaling harshly.
“Dammit all…” she could see a stream of tears escape past his hand.
Taking her chances, she edged closer to him, still careful to remain hidden. She extended her consciousness towards him, finding it surprisingly easy to enter his mind.
He’s so worked up; he’s dropped all of his mental barriers… This is my chance to find out what he’s been thinking, but I have to stay hidden. He can’t find out about this…
Her connection was steady, but weak. Her rudimentary skills gleaned only small fragments of his thoughts.
‘… she was… but… that battle was too in—… she could have b—… she ignored my… I shou—… she’s been too persis—… she might… I can’t let Umari know th—… her… but I’ll have to do it soon… the longer… the harder it’ll be for the bo—… she won’t take it well… can’t tell her… have to… I can’t let… on her own… I’ll have to… tomorrow… nothing left… without her… has to be done… too long…’
‘I have to get closer, the connection is—’ she hit a mental wall.
He was shut off from her.
He had felt her presence.
Allan shot up from where he had been sitting, clutching the side of his head with his right hand as if he was defending from further psychic infiltration.
“Umari! Where are you? I know you’re here! Get out here now!”
Mortified, she made her way towards him. He turned toward her at the sound of the leaves crunching under her footsteps. She was afraid, but held her head up, looking into his angry stare with sad, lonely eyes.
“What are you doing here? I didn’t ask for you to come here.”
‘I came to find you.’
“Why?”
‘We— I mean, I haven’t… I—’ she fumbled with her words. Nothing seemed like the right thing to say.
“What were you just doing?”
‘Nothing! I—’
“Don’t lie to me. You were invading my thoughts a moment ago. What did you hear?”
‘… I—’
“Answer me!”
‘I just— I only heard small bits! My powers aren’t as good when I’m alone… I promise I didn’t hear anything…’
“I’ve told you time and again… never intrude into someone’s mind, and now…” he glared at her. “Look at you. I never thought you would do something like this…”
‘I had to! You’ve barely said two words to me since we got home! You won’t tell me why you’re mad, you won’t tell me what I did, and you’re even having Xutan keep secrets from me! What else could I do?’
“I’m heading home. Come back if you want,” Allan said as he started down the path. He paused, without looking back, and said “Let me ask you again, Umari. Why did you really come here tonight?”
‘I’m afraid!’ she cried. ‘I’m afraid that you hate me now! I’m afraid that you’re going to release me, or abandon me! I was afraid, so I came here to find out for myself. I don’t want to be left behind. Please— I’m… so scared… don’t leave me…’
He turned back at her, a sorrowful look on his face, “Wrong answer.”
Umari didn’t move from that spot for a long time. The sun had set, and no matter how hard she wished, her beloved trainer never came back to get her. She cried until the tears stopped flowing, and hated herself more with every painful sob.
—————
The moon was high in the night sky when Umari finally gathered her courage to return to the house. For what seemed like hours, she stood in front of the door, too afraid to test if it would open for her. To her eventual surprise, or perhaps even despair, it did.
The house was dark; the glow from the digital clock on the oven provided a dim green bloom to the scenery. No sounds could be heard throughout the household; only a slight breeze that rustled the curtains provided any disturbance to the tranquility of the scene.
“Wrong answer.”
The phrase resounded in her head over and over, deepening the wound again and again.
“Wrong answer.”
It hurt. She could feel a pain in her chest, and while many have exaggerated the concept of a broken heart, Umari felt it all the same.
“Wrong answer.”
Each time the words played out in her head, she wondered what the “right” answer could have been. Why should she have come to find him? What other reason could there be? Try as she might, no matter how many times she asked herself, she could not find the right “answer”.
The suddenness of the question itself was alarming. Allan had let go of his anger in that moment. He had looked almost regretful for not asking the question sooner. If Umari had said the right thing, her nightmare might have ended right then.
But I didn’t… she lamented. I made things worse. Again.
She debated whether or not her ordeal was worth all the pain that she was feeling. Ever since she evolved, she felt that her connection with him had started to become strained, and no matter how much she tried to cover it up, she had to accept the fact that he had hurt her. Allan had never done that before—not once had he shown any sort of hostility towards her or any of her teammates. Thinking back on it all, there was only one thing she could think of that must’ve caused it: that day in the Underground.
The day she evolved had been the worst she could remember; worse than that terrible night in Ilex Forest. Everything had fallen apart all because of an accidental exposure to a Fire Stone. She could no longer be of use to him. She would always be a second choice, and even when she tried her best to show how capable she could be, he lashed out at her for it.
He won’t release me. I won’t let him. I’ll leave on my own…
That decision weighed heavily on her, and for a few moments, she couldn’t breathe.
I don’t want to… but he’ll be better off without me…
It would be hard, she was sure of that. But when she considered the facts, she decided that it would be easier than weighing him down and breaking her apart.
—————
Walking up the stairs to the second floor of the house, Umari found the door to Allan’s room hung slightly ajar. Careful not to make any noise, she slowly crept into his room. The heat wave refused to relent even on this calm, clear night. She found him lying on his bed in only a pair of boxers, close to the window. The blankets and sheets were scattered every which way in an attempt to stay cool. The open window allowed for a warm breeze to flow through the room, but did little to change the temperature.
Umari cautiously made her way to the edge of the bed. Allan lay sleeping on his side, turned away from her. She climbed up onto the bed as softly as she could manage, and looked over his sleeping form.
Why? Why did this happen? What went wrong? I thought… he cared for me… but look at him… he doesn’t care. Now I— I don’t know if he ever did.
She looked over to the nightstand. Propped up was the framed picture the three of them had taken that day in the underground.
Look at us. We were so happy then, and it wasn’t even a week ago. Evolving into… this… ruined everything… Why can’t I go back to when that picture was taken…? Why?
She looked back to Allan.
Why do you hate me now? I’ve done nothing but try my hardest for you, and all you’ve done is throw it all back in my face, she thought, her rage growing.
I… hate—
He rolled over in his sleep then, shifting to his other side and nearly knocking Umari off the bed. His expression was one of pain, contorting over some unknown grievance.
I love you.
Tears began pouring from her eyes. The sound of the impacts on the bare mattress infinitely magnified in contrast to the silent night. She looked over his sleeping face, taking in every detail.
I’ve loved you for so long, I can’t even remember a time when I didn’t… A time when I didn’t wish that you’d love me back. But we’re not the same anymore. I changed… and I guess you did too. I just didn’t see it. I wish I could tell you… but, you’d just hate me even more…
She laid herself down quietly, getting closer to him. Looking at his face, she wondered what had caused his sudden change in behavior. She had guessed that it was her evolution, but the more she thought back on it, she remembered that before the accident in the tunnel, he had been troubled about something—even during the gym battle.
Maybe— Maybe he doesn’t hate me… She didn’t realize that she was slowly inching closer to his face.
He had such a caring personality before… so kind… She edged closer still, but stopped when she realized what she was doing.
Umari remembered watching from the ground as Alice had surprised Allan with a quick kiss. Even back then, she knew what that kind of action meant between humans. Alice had the same feelings for Allan that she did. Umari envied her; Alice had been able to show him how she felt so easily.
Umari wanted to do that too. She wanted to try it, and when she thought about what else she had to lose, she began running out of excuses not to.
I— I know I shouldn’t. He’d never forgive me… But he’s asleep, so maybe… just this once. Before I leave…
She shut her eyes, slowly closing the distance between their lips.
If he could love me, I’d be so—
“Umari? What are you doing?”
Her eyes shot open and every muscle in her body tensed up, freezing her in place.
Allan’s eyes bore a confused look, while Umari’s were filled with terror.
Without thinking, she shut her eyes and lurched forward, pressing her mouth against his in a forceful kiss. Umari pushed Allan onto his back and straddling him, pinning his shoulders to the bed with her paws. After a few tense seconds, she released the kiss and looked into his shocked eyes.
‘Please! Please don’t hate me for this! I’m— I mean, I didn’t mean to— I just,’ she stammered vocally in time with her mental voice. ‘I love you so much Allan. Please, don’t hate me anymore. I’m sorry for whatever I did, but please— I don’t want to hurt anymore.’
She kissed him again, gentle and caring this time, and tried her best to pour her love for him over what feeble bond they shared. She shifted some of her weight off of his shoulders, and leaned into his chest. She felt his hand touch the side of her head and flinched, expecting to be pushed away, but it was a loving caress. Allan sent a calming sensation over their bond and kissed her back. Umari broke the kiss abruptly; staring back at him is an incredulous look.
‘Umari,’ he said after she pulled away in shock, ‘I think we need to talk.’
Allan stayed on his back for a moment, closing his eyes and taking a slow, deep breath. Almost everything that had been plaguing and clouding his mind these past few months—perhaps for even longer—had just been blown away in an instant.
Before Umari backed away, Allan had tried to show her exactly what he was feeling. He had wanted her to feel the relief that washed over him when he had heard her say those words:
I love you so much.
He had been so worried.
Allan opened his eyes and saw Umari anxiously looking at him, her eyes begging him to continue.
‘This time,’ he told her, ‘I promise to tell you everything.’
Letting Allan sit up, Umari situated herself in his lap.
‘So… You’re not mad at me for this?’ she asked nervously.
“Of course not,” he said, switching to his actual voice. Allan immediately felt a fresh wave of regret hit him as he was reminded of how he had treated his Flareon. “It might be hard to believe but, I was never angry with you.”
Allan sighed, looking away from her for a moment.
“I— Where do I even begin? Well, before I say anything else: I’m sorry Umari. I’ve been horrible to you, and I can never take back what I’ve done. I hope you can forgive me, but if not, I at least want you to understand me.”
‘Wait, you weren’t angry with me?’ she asked, confused at what her trainer had told her. ‘I thought you were mad at me for my evolution or that battle with the Cloyster.’
“No, it wasn’t anything you did.” He began stroking her back, trying to put her at ease. “I tried to hide the real reason I was upset by yelling at you. I never should have done that.”
Allan swallowed, pushing past his reluctance.
“I just couldn’t control myself after seeing you in danger like that.”
Umari had been beginning to relax a bit, leaning into Allan’s chest as he rubbed her fur, but backed away from him in confusion. She remembered him saying something similar before he finally let her into the battle, but she didn’t think it had worried him that much.
‘But I was fine. Sure, those water attacks hurt a bit, but it’s not like that annoying trainer’s Pokémon was going to kill me. What made you so worried?’
Allan brought a hand up to Umari’s face and looked into her dark blue eyes.
“Ever since… Ilex… the thought of losing you has been stuck in my head, and every time I think about it, I…”
‘Allan…’ Umari had never seen her trainer look so emotional before. Even without their psychic link, just seeing his face and the pain behind it was enough for her to understand how he felt.
“I just can’t bear it.”
He hung his head, “If I lost you, I don’t know what I would do.”
Despite her fiery core, what he said sent a chill down Umari’s spine.
‘What are you saying?’
“I’m saying, I love you Umari,” he let her absorb the statement for a moment, and gave her a gentle kiss. “I know I’ve made it seem quite the opposite recently, and I’m surprised you’re still here to be honest. But if you’ll let me, I’ll try and explain everything.”
She nodded eagerly for him to continue, her mind racing, ‘Please do, I want to hear it.’
“Well, we’ve been together for years now. We were always close. The night I taught you how to use telepathy was one of the best nights of my life. I was so happy,” he said as he brushed the golden fur on her face. “But it was after we won at Azalea when my feelings toward you began to change.”
‘Ilex Forest.’
“It was on that horrible night, where I truly saw you for who you are, Umari. I was terrified anything happening to you, and I almost let Alice get killed because of it. When we were being chased by that Tyranitar, and I thought we— before we— All I could think of was you.”
Umari thought back to the night in question. The attack had come so suddenly, and Allan was all but helpless. She had never seen him so afraid before, and it had affected her as well. When she had seen her trainer broken and lost, it had taken all of her resolve to stay brave for him.
“It was during the time we took to recover that my thoughts started getting out of control. I fought with myself for days trying to make sense of my feelings for you. I eventually came to terms with what I felt and tried to put in the back of my mind, but I couldn’t.”
Allan shook his head, “I was letting my fears get the better of me.”
‘What were you afraid of?’ she asked.
“Of what you’d… think of me,” Allan choked out. “I was so… sure you’d be disgusted when you learned that I… wanted you.”
‘O-Oh…’ Umari’s eyes widened at the words her trainer had just said. ‘W-Well, what made you, uh, think that? I’ve never said I wouldn’t, or you know, didn’t like that idea. It’s never come up.’
“I… had Xutan look into the future, to see what would happen after you evolved. He couldn’t see much, but he saw that you were upset at me, and that I was filled with regret.”
‘So you assumed the worst.’ Umari looked up at Allan’s face in a new light, understanding him more than she had before. ‘And after I evolved, those things happened anyway, but for different reasons.’
He nodded slowly, “And I made it all happen.”
‘No you didn’t.’
“Yes I did,” Allan said.
With the major hurdle already cleared, Allan found it much easier to talk to Umari about what he had been keeping to himself. He knew she loved him now. That was enough for him.
“First, I tried to get you to choose to evolve into something else on your own, but I knew deep down you only wanted to be an Espeon. Then when the accident happened… I actually felt relieved. When I saw you turn into this,” he stroked the side of her face and down her neck, running his fingers through Umari’s fluffy mane of fur.
“I thought I had avoided the future that Xutan saw, but I felt awful being relieved about something that upset you so much. It was incredibly selfish of me to want anything other than whatever made you happy.”
‘I don’t care about any of that now,’ Umari nuzzled her human under his chin. ‘What’s important is that we’re not fighting anymore.’
The idea that the two of them could go back to how they once were, without the secrets or the arguments, filled Umari with hope, but she knew things would never be exactly the same again. Things were going to be different—but Umari was determined to make sure they were different for the better.
‘Besides, I really like what I’ve become now. I can’t even imagine being an Espeon.’
“And I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Allan said, looking down at her.
He could hardly believe she had accepted his feelings for her, let alone that she felt the same way about him. His fears of Umari rejecting and leaving him had been making it impossible for him to even entertain the idea that it could ever happen.
“Besides,” he leaned down and kissed her. “You’re beautiful the way you are now.”
‘I wasn’t beautiful before?’ she asked playfully.
Umari decided it was time to move away from the heavy and serious discussions and wanted to see if a light-hearted approach might help Allan get more comfortable with her. He might be talking to her finally, but she could see that he was still a little tense.
‘Didn’t you say you fell for me before I changed?’
“I did, but back then, I was… It’s not like I could’ve— or we could’ve, well…” he glanced away.
‘Come on,’ Umari got up from his lap and moved along the bed to follow his gaze. ‘You’ve already told me everything, haven’t you?’
Umari couldn’t help but find seeing her usually-so-confident trainer acting so flustered to be a little bit cute.
“Well, you know… You were an Eevee, and well… Now that you’ve gotten— bigger… then…” in the low light, she couldn’t see that his face was reddening with every fumbled word.
‘Allan, you know you can tell me anything. What is it?’
“Don’t make me say it— Here,” he sent a mental image of what he meant over their psychic bond.
Her response wasn’t one he was expecting.
She fell onto her side, laughing uncontrollably. It took her a moment to find her words.
‘Allan…’ Umari looked up at him as she lay on the bed.
‘You’ve fought some of the toughest trainers in the region and survived rampaging Pokémon, but you can’t bring yourself to talk about mating?’
The Flareon sat up and giggled again, the image in her head still fresh on her mind.
‘That’s a… vivid imagination you have, isn’t it? Have you thought about this stuff a lot?’
“Umari… please…” he said dejectedly.
The desperate tone of his voice told Umari that he wasn’t as amused as she was.
She stood up and moved closer to him, laying a paw on one of his legs.
‘You really are embarrassed about this. I’m sorry; it just surprised me that you’ve thought about this for so long.’
Umari wished she hadn’t laughed; she didn’t want Allan to be ashamed of how he felt anymore.
“So,” he looked back at her, “you don’t hate me because I think of you that way?”
‘I could never hate you. Plus, you know, I’ve thought about it too.’
She moved back into his lap and put her paws against his chest, giving her a temporary height advantage over him. As she looked down at his shocked face, the ideas lingering in her head that Allan had shown her struck her as more than just fantasy.
‘You want us to be together, like mates, right?’
The thoughts of what they might do together were making Umari’s heart pound and her breath heavy. From what she could feel through her paws, Allan was experiencing a similar reaction.
“I— Well, I do. But, it’s not like I’ve had any experience in this… do you?” He knew—at least, he thought he knew—but couldn’t help but ask anyway.
Allan’s nervousness was slowly shifting to excitement as Umari continued to encourage him. He could hardly believe that what he had feared being rejected over was about to happen, and that it was alright.
A smirk spread across her face. She really did love seeing his flustered side.
‘How could I? I’ve been with you this whole time, remember?’ Umari leaned in closer to his face. ‘But I’m willing to give it a try with you.’
She closed the gap between them with another kiss, but felt her human partner tense up.
‘It’s okay, Allan. Just relax more. We’ll figure it out as we go along.’
She leaned into the kiss, using her weight to push Allan back down on to the bed. She was initially surprised when she felt his tongue tentatively make its way into her mouth, but soon found she enjoyed the sensation, and began mimicking the curious action herself. It felt completely different than their previous kisses. The additional motions and movements made the act much more intimate and exciting.
Umari felt another spark of satisfaction as well; Allan was starting to try things on his own.
She ran her paws over his chest, while he enveloped her in a loving embrace.
As he held her close, Allan could feel her warmth; her hot, dry fur felt surprisingly nice against his skin compared to the humid air and his own sweat. The comforting heat relaxed his muscles, further melting away any apprehension he still held onto.
It was Umari who finally broke their heated and sloppy kiss. She wasn’t worried; they’d have plenty of chances to practice. As she caught her breath, Allan made to sit up, but she put a paw to his forehead, telling him to stop.
‘Stay.’
Umari grinned at him, wanting to keep him at ease. She had waited a long time and had gone through so many hardships to get where she was now. She wanted to take her time and enjoy this. She laid down on his chest, nuzzling his neck and taking in his scent. Slowly pushing herself up from him, Umari took in all the details of Allan’s body. She slowly backed up, smelling and licking him as she moved down, enjoying the little twitches and reactions she got out of him as she went.
Allan did as he was told and stayed as still as he could on his back. It was a strange sensation to be at the mercy of his own Pokémon. His breath caught in his throat each time Umari rubbed or licked some sensitive area.
Finished exploring his chest, Umari continued downward, only to stop suddenly when she realized just what was left for her to discover. She slowly got up and sat off to the side of her human, who sat up to see why she had stopped. Umari stared down at his groin—more specifically, at what had changed since she had first entered the room.
“You don’t have to—” Allan started, but Umari stepped forward and stared him down.
‘Let me try, at least. Okay?’
He nodded, lying back down on the bed. Allan wasn’t too sure exactly what she wanted to try, but he was glad that his Flareon was willing to experiment. As much as Allan wanted to finally be intimate with Umari, he was having trouble moving past his hesitation and making any moves of his own.
Umari turned away and faced back down the other direction, feeling utterly lost. Until now, she had been going from each new thing to the next and had felt confident enough about what she was doing to continue. With what lay ahead of her, however, she felt a wave of hesitation holding her back.
She thought about the vivid images Allan had sent her earlier, but they were all from the human perspective—not from hers.
Every second that ticked by without any action from either of them pushed Umari to make a move; if she didn’t do something soon, she worried the moment would be lost. She wanted it to be now. Right now.
Swallowing her nervousness, she reached out with a paw, gently prodding at what had risen to the occasion.
‘L-Let me know if I do anything wrong, okay?’ She kept her eyes straight ahead of her, trying to figure out how to best approach what she was about to do.
The nervous Flareon leaned forward and nudged his still-covered member with her nose, noticing that the scent coming from Allan’s groin area was noticeably different than his chest or arm. It spurred her onward, and with her breathing heavy, Umari took some of the fabric of his underwear in her mouth and tried to pull them down his legs. After a few frustrating attempts, she found she couldn’t get them to move very well.
‘A-Alright,’ she relented, backing away from him again. She felt a small wave of inadequacy wash over her as she admitted defeat. ‘You can help now. Please.’
“Y-Yeah, hold on.”
Allan stood up and faced away from the bed. He took a deep breath, knowing that if he went through with what he was about to do, there would be no going back. Thinking about where they had just come from in their relationship, Allan decided he didn’t want to go back. He still refused to make eye contact as he discarded his last piece of clothing, however, the act of exposing himself alone draining what little confidence he had built up.
Umari sat on the bed and watched closely, taking a lengthy look at him—all of him—for the first time. Seeing Allan fully naked in the dim light of his room was what finally cemented it in her mind; they were about to become true mates.
She moved aside to let Allan back onto the bed, once again feeling awkwardly lost.
‘S-So,’ Umari started, her heart pounding in anticipation. She reached over with one of her paws and lightly stroked his member, earning a surprised gasp from Allan.
‘Did you have anything you wanted to… try out?’
“What do you mean?”
‘Well, you imagined me like…’ Umari moved further down the bed and raised her rear end into the air, ‘...this’.
She glanced back at him, unsure if she was doing the pose correctly, and feeling incredibly exposed. She felt somehow smaller and more vulnerable, and it made her a bit nervous.
‘Is this okay?’
“I— Well, you— We can,” Allan sat and stared at his Pokémon presenting herself and couldn’t string together a coherent thought.
‘N-No good?’ Feeling all the more exposed by Allan's reaction, Umari hastily covered herself with her tail.
Eager to move on, she decided to suggest something a bit less extreme.
‘How about if I’m on my back?’ Umari rolled over on the bed, letting her legs curl in close to her body. Once she settled into the position, she could feel her own heartbeat begin to pound quicker as she lay there, a small part of her quietly hoping that Allan would choose this position.
Unfortunately, as she continued looking up at Allan, she could see that he was still too nervous to make a choice.
‘Maybe not one of those for right now,’ Umari stood back up and moved closer to him, doing her best to hide her slight disappointment from him. ‘Do you want me to… take the lead?’
Allan merely nodded, and laid himself back onto the bed. He hated that Umari was having to make all of the decisions on her own just because of his hesitation.
‘Oh-kay, then.’
Umari found herself staring at what awaited her for what felt like an awkward amount of time. She wasn’t sure exactly how to begin, especially in the position they had settled on. She finally climbed on top of him, planting her front paws in the middle of his chest. She attempted to straddle him as best she could, but was unable to comfortably position herself. She looked back over her shoulder at her hind legs and tried to find the right placements and angles to achieve what she wanted, but had an even harder time than trying by feeling alone. She stopped for a moment, resting her rump over his groin.
‘I don’t really know what I’m doing, so, bear with me.’
Umari was beginning to feel as if they had moved on a little too quickly from the two of them—mostly her, now that she thought about it—going over each other’s bodies, to the main event. Even without the changes brought about by her recent evolution, doing something so physically intimate for the first time made her feel out of place in her own body.
“You don’t have to do everything yourself,” Allan said, willing himself to become more involved.
Seeing Umari trying so hard to make things go smoothly pushed him to fight through the nervousness he felt. Trying his best to look confident, Allan locked eyes with her. He brought his hands up to her sides and slowly worked them down her body, stopping at her hips.
Holding onto Umari like this sent a wave of excitement through himself and over their shared psychic bond. Allan felt a similar sensation come from her as well.
Allan helped guide and position her, seeing where she couldn’t and holding her weight when she lost her balance.
Eventually, through some trial and error, Umari ended up lying down on Allan’s stomach, letting her legs spread and extend as much as was comfortable. The first hint of contact came as a surprise, but one that helped give them both the courage to continue.
Umari tried her best to recreate that accidental connection by shifting her hips back and forth, and the feeling of something hard rubbing against her entrance sent waves of arousal and excitement up her entire body. She closed her eyes as she rocked herself against him, enjoying herself and the new sensations she was experiencing.
Allan’s hesitation was slowly being replaced with anticipation as he watched and helped Umari grind herself against him. He could feel her wetness building and catching in the fur around her crotch, leaving him slick wherever she happened to rub herself against him. The more she ground her hips on him, the more Allan noticed how much warmer she was down there. It sent his mind racing, wondering just how she would feel on the inside. He startled her a bit as he let one of his hands drift from gripping her rear to beneath her.
Umari’s eyes shot open at the unexpected movement between her hind legs. She looked at Allan and could see as well as feel over their mental connection he was eager to move on.
‘Oh, sorry,’ she lowered her ears in embarrassment. ‘I was getting a little too into it, I guess.’
“It’s alright,” Allan said, brushing the side of her face and dragging his hand along her ear. “Well, I think I’m ready if you are.”
‘Y-Yeah, let’s do it.’
While Allan gripped her hips to steady her, Umari began pushing against him with her front paws, moving herself back and against what was prodding at her nether region. Slowly, and very carefully, she began to take him inside of her.
Umari closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on what she was doing. Even though she desperately wanted to get this right, she felt a familiar uncertainty return as more pressure built up at her entrance; she didn’t know how this was going to feel, and a little bit of fear began to creep into her mind. What if she didn’t like it? What if he didn’t? What if they weren’t able to make it work?
Thankfully, she wasn’t alone on the bed.
Allan felt her nervousness and sent a reassuring message over their psychic link. He would be there for her no matter what happened.
Bolstered by his support, Umari pressed on. As soon as the head was in, she stopped pushing, adjusting to an intrusion that her body wasn’t quite meant to handle. She had taken a few good looks before she had gotten on top of him, and knew she had a bit more to go before she had all of his length inside her, but she was unsure if she could take much more. It felt much larger entering her body than she had guessed from just looking or touching it.
As unsure as she was, she didn’t want to give up either. She wanted to be the best mate she could.
Allan tried his best to be careful with how much he pushed on her hips, despite how it felt to finally be inside her. It was incredibly tempting to thrust himself up into her further, but it was obvious that his Flareon was having trouble handling him. Allan brought a hand up to side and stroked her fur, hoping it might help her relax.
‘Thanks. I’m gonna keep going.’
Letting her own impatience get the better of her, she decided that going slow might be what was making everything so uncomfortable. Steeling herself, she surprised Allan by suddenly pushing herself back against him as hard as she could, taking him into her nearly all the way.
Regret immediately struck her; going all at once was so much worse. She found herself wishing once again that they had experimented a little bit more before trying this. She immediately tensed up, cringing in pain and digging her short claws into his chest.
Umari had been focusing hard on her mental connection with Allan while she attempted to force herself onto him, and in doing so sent a wave of shock and pain over their bond.
Allan had been ready to support Umari if she needed it, and was met with the sudden rush of sensations Umari poured into him. He responded with a similar pulse of emotions and feelings. The sudden tightness and intensity of her body temperature had caught him off guard, adding onto everything Umari was sharing with him, Allan couldn’t hold back thrusting his hips up against her.
Umari yelped audibly, exhaling sharply and accidentally shooting a small jet of flame onto Allan’s chest. The air was tinged with the slight smell of burnt flesh.
‘I’m sorry, Allan!’ Her mental voice was frantic, the pang of pain she felt over the bond troubling her.
She looked down in panic at what she had done to his chest with her fire and her claws.
‘I didn’t mean to— You just moved so suddenly and it just slipped out! N-Not that it’s your fault, but—’
Allan lifted her chin and caught her attention, giving her a calm smile and petting the side of her face.
“It’s fine Umari, really,” he said, doing his best not to wince too hard. Allan lightly patted his bare chest, showing Umari that she hadn’t seriously injured him.
“See? It didn’t hurt that bad, I promise. I kinda deserved it for moving when you weren’t ready. Are you alright?”
‘I-I’ve been better. I didn’t think you’d be that big. Just let me— get used to this, okay?’
She awkwardly tried to adjust herself on him, but every movement sent more pain across their shared over their bond, causing her movements to be shaky and uncertain. Before she could even ask, Allan was already helping keep her balance, letting her take the lead in finding a comfortable position.
“You’re— really hot, you know that?” He was also a bit shocked at the how tight she was, though he suspected he might be a bit different than what her species was designed for. He began stroking her back, trying to help her to relax.
‘Wh-What?’
“Sorry, I mean your body temperature. It’s almost unbearable, but I think I can manage,” he said with a playful grin.
‘S-Shut up,’ she said, nudging his face with her nose. She gently laid her body back down onto Allan’s chest, trying to alleviate some of the pain she was feeling.
“You didn’t have to do that, you know,” Allan said, stroking the tuft of fur on her head. He left one arm still supporting her on top of him, just in case. “You could’ve gone as slow as you needed to.”
Umari looked away from him, embarrassed that she got ahead of herself again.
‘I know… It was just taking so long, and I was afraid we weren’t going to be able to mate, so… I just forced it.’
“Well,” Allan said, turning her face towards his, “it worked.”
He leaned forward as much as he could without moving Umari and kissed her softly.
“We’re mates,” he said after pulling back.
Umari’s face lit up at hearing him say it out loud.
‘You’re right.’
She nuzzled her human under his chin, the realization that they had finally made it work filling her with a warm, contented feeling.
‘We figured it out after all.’
Umari lifted her head up and looked into Allan’s eyes and the loving gaze he was giving her. It was so unlike the way he had looked at her earlier that day on that secluded trail. They had almost lost each other, but now they were closer than she ever thought possible. Allan had her in the most primal of ways, completely in his control, but she knew he would never force himself on her.
With every breath she took, every slight motion from either her or him, she was slowly growing accustomed to the joining of their bodies.
She could also feel how much Allan was enjoying being together with her over their shared bond, even though they were just lying together. It gave her a sense of fulfillment she hadn’t felt before. She was more than just a good Pokémon to him; she was a good mate. She was good enough.
As Umari leaned forward to kiss him, her body shifted slightly to one side. She prepared for it to send another jolt of pain through her, but this time it was much more pleasant than painful. She moaned slightly as she kissed her human, hesitantly trying another little rock of her hips. The second attempt was much like the first; tight and stiff, but pleasurable enough to make her want more.
‘I’m so glad,’ she told him as she swayed from side to side in a slow rhythm. ‘We can make this work.’
“Me too,” Allan kissed her cheek, wrapping his arms around her body. He stroked her fur down her back, along her sides, and her rump. Allan ran his fingers through the fluffy, pale-gold fur of her tail and mane, marveling at the softness.
He made sure that he kept enough of a grip to keep Umari steady as she experimented with moving for the first time.
‘I think I want to move more now,’ Umari said, her confidence growing after a while spent gently grinding. ‘Will you help me?’
“Are you sure? I don’t want you to do anything you’re not ready for,” he brought his hands closer to her hips, just in case she suddenly moved on her own again. “I’m fine with staying like this if you want to.”
Umari shook her head, ‘No, I’m… I’m ready this time. I won’t rush it, I promise.’
Allan sighed, nodding.
“Alright, just tell me what you want me to do.”
‘You don’t have to hold onto me that tightly. Just be ready to catch me in case I slip or something,’ she told him. ‘I’m going to try and go forward a little bit.’
Once Allan loosened his grip on her body, Umari slowly pulled herself up along his chest, letting him slip out of her partially. She felt a small wave of pleasure wash over her at the sensation of him moving inside her. After a taking a moment to prepare, she carefully pushed herself back down onto him.
Umari grunted as she hit bottom again, shivering at the mix of pain and pleasure that ran up her spine. Like the way she felt when she rubbed herself against him, or when she moved back and forth with him firmly inside of her, the good feelings urged Umari to keep going.
She tried again, pulling forward a little further this time, and sunk down again.
The sensations she felt coming from Allan helped drown out some of the pain she still felt from the initial insertion. She began to focus on the pleasure they were both experiencing, giving her enough courage to quicken her pace.
‘Th— There we go… That’s much better…’
“Mnn, yeah.”
Allan was starting to get lost in the moment. He laid his head back and let every sensation that Umari felt flow over their bond, her growing arousal matching and adding to his own.
The combined feeling was incredible; both of them could feel the emotions and senses of their partner rush into them, only to send out their own in response.
‘You know,’ she said, panting a bit. ‘You can move too. I can take it, I think.’
“Alright, let me know if it’s too much,” he rocked his hips up to meet hers, eliciting a growl of pleasure as he hit her deepest parts.
Allan took that as a good sign, and pushed against her again. The two soon developed a rhythm; him thrusting up as she pushed down. Between the hot and humid air of the night, and Umari’s own intense warmth, Allan found himself panting and sweating profusely.
He began to notice Umari slowing down her own movements, taking a pause every now and then to catch her breath or adjust her position on top of him. Hearing her quiet moans begin to shift into stressed whines gave Allan doubts as to whether their current position was even comfortable for her for very long.
He didn’t want her to hurt anymore.
“Umari,” he whispered. “Do you want me to move some more?”
‘…—nn, sure.’ She stopped moving, preparing for whatever Allan had planned. He surprised her by wrapping both arms around her and rolling her over onto her back, all the while staying inside her.
‘Ah! Allan, what’re you—?’
The sudden movement and impact onto the bed made Umari tense up, bracing herself against Allan’s body as best she could. When she settled onto the soft surface of the bed, she let go of the breath she had been holding and opened her eyes. Looking up at him, she was a little shocked that he made such a bold move on his own.
No longer needing to support herself, Umari pulled her front paws closer to her chest and let her hind legs stretch and spread out as she wished. She shifted around beneath him, adjusting to lying on her back. Their new arrangement let her lower body loosen up, Umari no longer needing to strain to keep her balance on Allan’s lap. Almost immediately she felt what discomfort came with the change in position fade away.
‘What made you want to try this?’ she asked him.
“When you were asking how we’d do this, you suggested doing it like this, didn’t you?”
Allan leaned in close, “Is this how you imagined it?”
‘Maybe…’ Umari covered her face with her front paws. ‘I… wanted to look at you. While we mated.’
“Then look,” he pulled her paws down. After having been so embarrassed and hesitant about everything, Allan wanted to take charge and indulge in his own desires.
“I’m going to take the lead for now,” he kissed her passionately, holding her face in his hand. He planted his other hand beside her head, looming over her and pinning her beneath him. As he leaned forward and began to move, he made sure to keep his weight off of her.
Umari returned his heavy kiss, exploring his mouth with her tongue. She found herself enjoying this new position more than she was expecting. It was easier on her body, but it was a stark contrast from being held in her human’s arms to being pushed down into the bedding as he thrust himself inside her. She couldn’t move away; her legs grew weaker with every motion he made.
Not that she wanted to.
Unlike when she was on top, having to pay attention to her balance and positioning, she was completely free to look up and watch as Allan truly gave into his secret passion. The weight behind his movements, the sound of his grunts and breathing, the look in his eyes whenever they broke a kiss to breathe, the strong sense of desire that radiated from him over their psychic link; everything he did told her just one thing: he loved her, and everything about her.
He looks so happy… just to be with me.
A thought that made Umari’s own happiness explode as she continued to take in everything about the moment around her.
As time went on, Allan found it easier for him to move inside of her, Umari’s body slowly becoming accustomed to his size and movements. After feeling how much Umari was enjoying herself, he began to speed up, the sensation in his loins growing with each motion. The amount of movement was beginning to become taxing, his breath lost to the urgency his body demanded. While caressing his loving Flareon, he was also keeping himself from putting too much weight on her, which added to his physical exhaustion.
He was beginning to feel the urge to release, the powerful waves of pleasure that came from Umari helping push him closer to the edge.
‘Umari, I’m getting close.’ Allan focused on her mind, showing her the meaning behind his words.
He tried his best to last as long as he could against her hot, tight body.
‘I can feel something too,’ she told him. ‘And I can feel you. It’s incredible…’
She had wondered before, if they ever came together as mates, what an actual mating would feel like. She wasn’t expecting the initial pain, but as the act itself progressed it had become far beyond anything she could have expected.
She could feel a new sensation building as Allan’s movements became even quicker and less reserved. Intense spikes of pleasure would rise and fall in time with his thrusts. Umari arched her back reflexively once the increase in pleasure didn’t fall, instead continuing to climb higher and higher. Her mouth hung open as she gasped for air, her mind swimming as she tried to make sense of all the feelings she felt over their bond.
‘A-Allan, I think— I—’
She howled in ecstasy as her climax hit. It was far more intense than anything she had ever felt. It erupted and sent waves of pure elation throughout her body. She braced herself against his chest, scratching him with her claws once again.
Allan felt as if the mental connection they shared seemed to strengthen tenfold. The feeling of Umari’s first orgasm flowed over Allan with unimaginable clarity, pushing him to the edge as well. With Umari’s climax, her walls tightened around him, urging him to finish. Allan had held off as long as he could, and with one final, hard thrust, reached his own peak with a loud groan.
Their momentarily strengthened bond heightened his orgasm immensely, pushing himself into her erratically as the waves of pleasure wracked his body.
Unable to hold himself up any longer, Allan fell onto his side, keeping Umari held close in his arms as he rode out the rest of their shared climax.
Umari pushed against his chest, creating some space between them on the bed.
‘No, don’t…’ she said as he tried to pull out. ‘Let’s stay like this… just a bit longer…’
No words. Just a kiss was her answer. Unlike the passion and lust driven ones, this was a simple, gentle touch of their lips. In the minutes that followed, the lovers took advantage of their expanded bond, though they could feel it start to wane back to its normal quality.
Umari nuzzled into his face, ‘I love you Allan. I’m so happy…’
“I love you too,” he said before kissing her again.
Umari curled into his chest as much as she could, wrapped in her lover’s arms.
Allan held her gently, kissing the top of her head.
The two slowly drifted off to sleep in a dreamy haze. Each forgetting, if only for a moment, that the past few days had happened at all.
—————
Allan awoke the next morning to the feeling of cold air blowing across his bare chest from an uncharacteristically cool breeze. After sitting up in his bed, he realized he’d woken up alone. A quick glance around the room erased any short-lived fears, however. Umari was lying in the windowsill, looking out into the backyard and watching a pair of Pidgey fly about a tree.
“Morning, Umari,” Allan said.
‘Hey…’ she said solemnly.
“What’s the matter? It isn’t about—” he paused, fearful of what she might be troubled with. “You don’t regret last night do you?”
‘No, of course not. Don’t ever think that. I was just thinking about what I almost did last night.’
“What do you mean?” Allan stood up from the bed and quickly grabbed the underwear he had tossed aside last night. He walked over and knelt down next to her, gently rubbing her head.
‘I almost ran away. I almost left you, and now…’ she leaned into his hand.
‘I can see how close I was to making a terrible mistake. I’ve been looking outside for a little while now, and I’ve been thinking on how much of the world there is to see. How different it all is.’
Umari turned to him and smiled, ‘And for the first time in a long time, I truly appreciate the fact that I’ll see it all, with you.’
She couldn’t have stopped him from kissing her then if she wanted to.
“Did you practice that all morning?”
‘I might’ve went over it a few times,’ she looked down to his chest and gave him a tender lick. ‘Does it hurt?’
He looked over damage for the first time. It was a slight burn, but the mark it left spread across the left side of his chest. Umari’s claws had scratched him a handful of times as well during the previous night’s activities, but not enough to draw any blood.
“It looks worse than it is, trust me. Besides, it was an accident.”
The two spent a few moments enjoying each other’s uninterrupted company, before Umari asked, ‘Allan… What about your parents? Do you think they’ll, you know, find out about us being mates?’
“Well, I’ve never been one to lie to them, so if they ask about that for some reason, I’ll have to tell them. How they’ll react, have no idea. This kind of thing has never came up before, but I think they’ll understand eventually.”
‘But, what’ll happen if—’
“If they have a problem with it, then that’s that. We can make it on our own if we have to.”
She nuzzled his face, comforted by his return to confidence. ‘Thank you… Hey, Allan?’
“Yeah?”
‘Last night… What was the “right answer”?’
“Oh… that. That was just me being selfish again. When I saw that you had come to find me last night, my mind raced trying to figure out why you came looking for me after what I did to you. I decided to ask, to see if you loved me back. But you said you were afraid. I thought that if you did love me, you would have said it then.”
‘I’m sorry… I was too afraid of what you would do if you—I don’t know—took it the wrong way. Guess we both get wrapped up in our own heads too much. But I’m sick of thinking about all that. It’s all behind us now, right? Let’s just be together. Like we were supposed to be. No more fighting.’
“I wouldn’t want anything more.”
He took her in his arms, and carried her back to the bed. They stayed enveloped in each other for some time, watching the sun continue to rise. She rested her head on his chest as she listened to the sound of him breathing.
‘So, what’s next?’ she asked, not wanting to move. ‘We’ve got plenty of time on our hands now.’
“Well, my original plan, before I needed to figure everything out, was to stay here until after my birthday. But how about we challenge Morty and head off again once that package arrives? I think we should get back on the road as soon as we can.”
‘We’re just leaving? What about your parents?’
“They’re stuck halfway across the world; they wouldn’t make it here in time anyway. They’ll understand. And after you scorch your way through Morty’s ghosts, we can let Sontos speed through Chuck’s gym at Cianwood.”
‘Why’re you so insistent on training Sontos so much? He can’t be that far below the rest of the team.’
“It’s part of an idea I had to help you and your psychic abilities. I want Sontos to evolve as fast as possible because I think he can help us perfect your powers. A Metagross is exceptionally intelligent and I think that with his help, and my bond with you, we can work to strengthen it to match one a Psychic type might have with me. The kind that feels like what we had last night. I know how much it meant to you before you evolved.”
‘Allan…’ Umari lifted her head up and looked at him. ‘Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you so much… But where will we go after Cianwood?’
“Cianwood has beaches, doesn’t it? It’s important to relax and enjoy ourselves whenever we can. Olivine City has plenty of sand too, though. Which do you want to see?”
‘Both. Then I can speed through that Steel gym, and we can go to Mahogany and I’ll melt those Ice types too. And no stopping me this time if I try my Flare Blitz, okay?’
“Agreed.”
‘Oh,’ she said as she got an idea.
‘Make sure you remember to bring that tent with us. We could use the extra privacy, don’t you think?’ She surprised Allan with the seductive tone in her voice.
“Y-You do have a point…” he said, slightly embarrassed.
—————
Two days later, in the dark and cool interior of the Ecruteak Gym, Allan and Umari stood victorious on their side of the battlefield. After a tough but quick fight, Allan had won his gym battle.
“Well done, Allan.” Morty said as the match officially ended. “You’ve grown into a remarkable trainer over the years. I see that the troubles you’ve faced on the open road have not broken your spirit.”
“Of course not,” he said, smiling as he thought of Umari. “I’ve got my Pokémon with me every step of the way.”
“As it should be,” Morty nodded, handing him his Fog Badge. He closed his eyes and clasped both hands around Allan’s.
“I sense your path may be changing soon, Allan. Be prepared for what lies ahead of you.”
“We’ll take it as it comes,” Allan looked down at Umari, who looked up at him with a loving gaze.
“Worrying about the future won’t change it.”
“Indeed,” Morty let go of him and nodded once more.
Allan and his golden Flareon left Ecruteak Gym and made their way home, both of them noticing a small package had been left on the doorstep while they had been gone.
“Alright,” Allan picked up the pace reach the front door. “Now we can get going!”
‘Don’t you think we should celebrate winning our gym battle before we go?’
“Oh, alright,” Allan relented. “We can have a victory party with our new teammate from Unova tonight.”
