“Good m to you too,” I say as we break our kiss. I nuzzle into Fnnery’s neck, enjoying her f st and warmth. I feel like I could just stay here all day a all the world just melt away from us.

  A few minutes pass before I feel a gentle hand caressing my hair. I grumble unintelligible words into her neck which causes her to giggle softly. Our iions must have been enough to alert the cool buhat are pressed against me as I feel some silky soft fur brush against my skin.

  I open my eyes ahrough Fnnery’s red hair that is hanging around me like a curtain. I see three blue-toned pokemon gracefully slipping off the bed and then turn around and sit down on the floor to look at me. The rge, diamond-shaped ears and distinctive light blue fur with dark blue diamond-shaped patches tell me who our other bed partners were.

  I’m not sure how, but it seems as though Bill has acquired three Gs iime that I was out. Why would he forcefully evolve three of his Eevees? I uand about the increased power, but a Freon or Jolteon would have beeer choices with the pokemon that Team Rocket was throwing at us. As aype specialist to be, I am very aware of the limitations of Ice despite its retive power.

  “Babe, what happened while I was out? Not that I mind your affe, it just seems like you are beira loving. It appears that I am missing some information on what went on.” I mumble into my amon-spiced lover's ear. I lightly nibble on her ear and my arms around her. ‘She is so perfect to hold onto.’

  “Mmmm. Well for starters, The Jenny’s came by and picked up the Rockets and shipped them off to jail. Ah, s-stop that, I’m trying to tell you something,” she lightly scolds me as I give a pyful bite. “We got told off about pying hero again and not letting the Jenny’s know, even though Bea called them as soon as she saw them.” Fnnery tinues as she runs her fihrough my hair gently. She is unfair, this pampering is gonna make me spoiled.

  “And the Eevees?”

  “Mostly safe. Zephyr and you mao prevent most of them from being captured. From what Bill said, they were only able to get three.”

  “Only three? How did that happen? I didn’t knock out any pokemon or Rockets before I passed out…” I furrow my brow as I try to remember what happened. “Last thing I recall is getting s—,” My voice trails off as I start to slide my hands along my stomad hips. Silky smooth skin c some hidden muscles is all that I feel. There is no wound.

  “You don’t remember?” Fnnery asked as she suddenly gave me a tight hug before tinuing, “I arrived at the top of the steps, just in time to see you get sshed from hip to shoulder,” she traces a hot finger along where the would should have been, “but a moment ter you seemed to catch fire and stand back up like a star from an aovie. Background musid everything.”

  Fnnery spends the hirty minutes going over everything that happened. I had to ask her multiple times to repeat herself as I couldn’t believe what she was saying. As she finishes, I just stare at her with my mouth open in a rendition of the surprised pikachu face. I guess my face is a sight to behold as she starts to giggle untrolbly. I turn my face away in a pout which just causes her to ugh harder.

  I gently push Fnnery off of me and start to sit up. As I move, Skadi jumps off my chest but not off the bed as she sits dht beside me, making sure to stay in stant tact with me. Now that I am not being smothered in a warm amon embrace I look around the room and find that it has seeer days.

  The roof looks to be torn off, which expins why I see the stars and one wall has a new window avaible. Taking advantage of the silence as Fnnery catches her breath, I pay attention to my surroundings and find everythiremely quiet. Besides the sounds of breathing and the distant sounds of waves, there is no other sound. As I am trating, I hear the sounds of movement on the bed before I feel two warm, f arms around my waist.

  “It’s te love. Let’s go back to sleep. Bill said he would be able to finish up with Zephyr in the m but we are all tired now.”

  “Mm. I suppose.” I reply as I look up at the dark sky and notice there isn’t even a moon tonight. “I guess I indulge you for a little longer.” I scoot over toward the ter of the bed before ying back down and fag Fnnery. I y my arm over her hips before nuzzling bato her warm body. I feel a wave of sleepiness pass over me as I enjoy my mate’s spicy st.

  *~*~*~*

  The caress of sunlight ay skin causes me to stir and slowly awaken again. I open my eyes to see Fnnery’s sleeping face as it seems her of us moved during the night. I smile softly and watch her peaceful face for a few minutes before sliding my head closer and kiss her forehead to gently wake her up.

  As she starts to stir, I relutly pull myself out of her embrad slip out of bed. Looking around, I find my bag sitting on the nearby table and a quice at the pokeballs shows that, besides Zephyr’s pokeball, the only o currently is Skadi who was sleepio me. As I am pulling out some clothes to ge into, Fnnery es up behind me and gives my butt a small smack.

  “Mornin’ love.”

  “Mornin’ to you too,” I reply, giving her a tiny gre which she just smiles off. “Are you ready to hit the road again? We should be making our way to Vermillion City to challenge Surge.”

  “I am good to go,” she replies as she grabs some clothes from her bag as well. I turn slightly so I watch the show unabashedly. “Providing that you and Zephyr are all good.”

  “I hope we are. I want to spend some time training on the road as the fight against Misty was way too close for me and Surge is known to be extremely hard to beat.”

  “I know what you mean. Surge has me beat in speed so I o figure out some way to slow him down.”

  “I will train with you, don’t worry! The two of us will be able to handle everything thrown at us.” I give her a big smile that she returns. The two of us quickly finish getting dressed while pyfully bantering and teasing bad forth. Our retionship might be something new, but I feel fortable with her.

  We made our way down to the living room where all the Eevee and three Gs are sleeping all huddled together. In the nearby kit, Bill is currently sipping on a mug of something as he notices us showing up. I’m not sure, but it almost seems like Bill flinches when he sees me. Did what happen to me scare him?

  “Good m you two. Did you sleep well? I hope you are feeling alright Frost, after all the excitemeerday you just colpsed.”

  “I apologize for that. I did not have the capability to tinue on after everything that happened. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to save the whole pod, Fnnery informed me that three were captured.”

  “Oh, don’t you start with that. Between you and your pokemon, only three were taken,” Bill scolds. “If you were not here, most of the pod would have been taken to who knows where. The Jenny’s said that they would be stationing an officer up here to help keep an eye on things iure.”

  I lower my head slightly but a small smile of relief appears on my lips. “I uand. Hopefully, you will not be attacked again.”

  “I would hope not. Now, how about you two get some breakfast in you as I tell you what I found out about your Frostalon.”

  We quickly ehe kit and grab a simple breakfast. I also make sure to grab a cup of the m elixir as well. The two of us sit down at the small nearby table and Bill joins us a moment ter, still nursing his cup of caffeine. He alss over the pokeball that is clearly mine, from the snowfke on it, and hands it over to me after hesitating for only a moment. I smile at the pokeball before clipping it to my bag for the time being.

  “So what I have found is that, on a basic level, your Zephyr is the same as a Talonfme, only with ayping instead. It wasn’t until I started to dive deeper that I found what is truly different.” Bill takes a sip of his coffee before tinuing.

  “Her feathers gee a small amount of ice-type energy cold enough to cause the water in the air to gh deposition. This power increases with each feather that touches, causing a rea where a massive burst of Iergy be released into the air and cause a blizzard or hail storm.

  “I found that this is caused by her ability Snow Warning which is on in stronger ice type pokemon. The only truly odd thing I found is that her DNA is still in flux and has not settled like a normal fully evolved pokemon. This flux is simir to middle stage pokemon that still have a ce to evolve when ditions are met.”

  “You mean that Zephyr could possibly evolve again?” I ask with my eyes as rge as dies. “What could she evolve into?”

  “It is possible for her to evolve if the ditions are right,” Bill responds while nodding before tinuing. It seems like he is starting to rex around me now. Maybe talking about his research helps. “However, if these ditions are not met, then she will stay as she is, aually her DNA will settle.”

  “Do you have any idea what the ditions might be?”

  “Unfortunately I do not. New evolutions are always found at random. All I say is keep training her and maybe she will evolve for you.”

  I frown slightly at that information but then I give Bill a big smile. “Thank you for everything, Bill! If you ever need anything feel free to reach out to me or my Grandpa.”

  “Not a problem! It leasure to be the first to examine a new pokemon. If you get another one, please feel free to send it my way. I have taken the liberty to add my address as an option in yours and your friends' pokedex so you don’t o stop by if a situation like this pops up again.”

  After our discussion, the three of us chat while Fnnery and I finish eating and ing up for breakfast. While we were chatting, I could get a sehat Bill wao ask something but always stopped himself with a small shake of his head. After a while, Bill opens his mouth to ask a question, only for Bea to e in from outside a moment ter. From the looks of it, she has been up for a while and was outside training until now.

  “Frost! You are awake! How are you feeling?” Bea asks with her usual happy-go-lucky tone.

  “I’m feeling great! Bill was just going over everything about Zephyr, but I think we are about ready to head out.” I respond as I look at Fnnery who nods in agreement.

  “Awesome! Bill, thank you for hosting us st night. I hope you stay safe.” Bea says as she turns to Bill with a big goofy smile.

  “It was not a problem. You girls have a safe trip and I will be sure to follow your progression.”

  A few minutes of pleasaer, the three of us step out of Bill's house and start our jourowards Vermillion City.
