A Pokemon Journey to Remember

Note: This is a spin on a story RKS and I are working on. I'm exploring how things would go if some characters made different decisions and this story is the result.

Chapter 1 - A Journey Begins

"I'll show them," Rae muttered to herself, "I'll become the best trainer any of them have ever seen. Then they'll have to actually start treating me like a person."

Yet again, she'd been laughed at for missing the chance to get a starter pokemon from the regions professor. It was infuriating! She was eighteen now and still had no pokemon of her own. Everyone else got theirs when they turned ten or a year or two later on occassion, but it was practically unheard of to not have one by eighteen. She'd never fit in around town and this little fact certainly didn't help that.

There were always rumours going on about her. Majority were all done to tear her down and trash talk about her. It was frustrating but at that point in her life, she'd become resigned to it and no longer bothered to listen to them. She wasn't even sure what was going around about her now, other than having once again missed getting a starter. It was one of the kinder rumours, if they could be considered kind at all. But that didn't matter. She was going to take things into her own hands.

Stopping at the edge of town, she stared ahead at the dense forest that surrounded it. Plenty of tall, unkept grass, berry trees, and bushes all showed to be great hiding places for wild pokemon. People were told not to go anywhere out of a town unless with pokemon or with an escort that could protect one from the wild pokemon. If her mom saw her now, she'd certainly be getting a scolding for even thinking of venturing into it on purpose.

Taking a deep breath, her bright green eyes hardened as she made up her mind. Within a few strides, she'd slipped past first few trees of the forest line and began to search for a pokemon to make her starter. She had plenty of pokeballs and snacks in her backpack to last her the day. She wasn't planning on leaving without at least one pokemon.

That resolve only lasted until early evening when she stumbled out of the woods to sit on a log a few feet away from the river. Her blonde hair was a mess along with her clothes after what she'd just gone through. She'd gotten pecked out of trees, nuts thrown at her, tripped a few times, along with many other unfortunate mishaps while trying to capture a pokemon. Nothing had worked and she was left sore and tired.

"What am I doing wrong?" she glanced at her hands.

"Shi-!"

The sound of a cut off pokemon cry brought Rae's head snapping up. Her eyes scanned the area around her, trying to find the source. A few seconds later, she spotted a shinx being swept downriver. The poor thing was struggling to try to keep its head above water.

Without a second thought, she kicked off her shoes and dropped her bag and sweater to the ground before racing towards the water and diving in. Despite it being summer, the cool water was a bit of a shock. It wouldn't stop her though, as she swam towards the sounds of the pokemons cries. At times she caught glimpses of it, but the little guy was starting to struggle more.

Just hold on a little longer, she silently pleaded, arms beginning to ache from how hard she was pushing herself to cut through the rivers tide. She was almost ontop of the shinx when it slipped beneath the surface. Diving down, she was barely able to grab it's tail and pull it closer to her. Once she had a good hold of it, she resurfaced and was relieved to hear it cough when it's head once again was above the water.

"It's alright, I've got you now," she assured the pokemon as she once again fought the current to get them back to shore.

It felt like it took forever, though in reality it probably only took her about a minute to get back to shore. Her limps now really tired, she carefully set the shinx down before collapsing onto the soft grass. Her chest heaved as she fought to catch her breath. She hadn't had to swim like that in forever. Well, she hadn't gone swimming in a long time regardless.

After taking a moment to catch her breath, she glanced over to check on the shinx. He was coughing up some water and seemed to have a few cuts and scrapes, but otherwise alright. She wondered a bit just how he ended up in the river in the first place.

"There, see, we're safe now," she smiled when he looked over to her.

He didn't seem to have the energy to really react as he laid next to her, little body starting to shake from the shock and cold. Not to mention he was electric type so water wasn't exactly something he'd be all that good at facing.

"I know what'll help you feel better," Rae said as she gently scooped him up in her arms and began to walk back to where her discarded items lay, "My bag is farther upstream and I've got some food and stuff to help you heal. Should have you feeling better in no time."

A few minutes later, she would have him sitting on the log while she dug through her bag. He was certainly scratched up and a scar across his nose. Clearly he'd gone through a lot challenges in his life by the looks of it. He also seemed rather dejected and sad. She could sympathize with that as she'd had a rough day and had been feeling like that before diving into the river.

"This should help you feel better," she told him, pulling out a basic healing spray.

The shinx didn't even move as she applied the spray to his injuries which healed within a few seconds.

"You know, I'm alone too. If you want, you could come along with me on my journey. Can't promise it'll be easy there with you when things get tough and you'll have food whenever you want it."

Sure she could just use the pokeball on the little guy and most likely catch him without issue with the state he was in, but something felt wrong about that. Instead, she put it out there as an offer. He'd most likely refuse like all the others had that day, but she couldn't help but hope he'd agree.

She watched as he shook out his body after getting healed up. He moved closer to her and laid his head on her leg, blinking up at her. She smiled and reached down to pet him, even if he was still a bit wet.

"I'm sure we'll be a great team," she grinned, moving to dig out her food and split it in half and offer a portion to the shinx, "I guess if you're coming along with me, you'll need a name."

The shinx didn't seem to pay too much attention to her as he eagerly went to his food and began to eat rather slowly, like he was doing his best to savor every bite. While he ate, she put her own food away as she began to gather up some sticks and began to build a pile and start a little campfire. Her wet clothes were starting to really annoy her and it'd be good for the shinx to get warmed up.

Once she got a nice fire going, she stepped back to her bag and pulled out a spare shirt she'd packed. It was an oversized one that she kept around either to wear as a night shirt, or as backup when the rest of her clothes were dirty. It was what would have to do now.

Thankfully she was able to strip without worry as they were quite a ways from town. Far enough that it'd be well past dark before they'd even get home. So, spending the night was the best way to go. So she wasn't too worried about shedding her wet clothes and slip on the over sized t-shirt. It was also good she planned for any possible situation and had her sleeping bag along as well.

A few minutes later, the wet clothes were laid out by the fire to dry, sleeping bag unrolled, and Rae sitting on it as she finally ate her half of the sandwich. Glancing over at the shinx, she continued to ponder what to name him as he finally finished the last bite of his bit of the sandwich. Spark or Sparky was way too over done. Scout wasn't a bad name but wasn't quite right. Tripwire was another cool name but also just didn't feel right.

Her thoughts were interrupted as the small pokemon made his way over and curled up next to her, his fur brushing against her leg. She smiled down at him as she heard him beginning to purr. It was hard not to just reach out and hug him with how adorable he looked. But she didn't want to disturb him as he was finally getting some much needed rest.

"I think I'll name you Ace," she told him quietly.

Rae would stay up for a bit longer before deciding it was also time for her to get some sleep. She'd had a busy day and now that she had a chance to relax, it was definitely catching up with her. She carefully shifted position to be able to lay down, the top of the sleeping bag draped over her as it was warm enough out that she didn't need to zip it up. Gradually, she'd begin to drift off, content with how the day turned out.

.....

It would be a few hours later when she'd start to stir. Something felt strange, yet oddly good as well. She'd been in the midst of a rather lewd, yet wonderful dream and it seemed she was still feeling the sensations from it. She groaned happily as it got a little more intense before she started to clue in that the pleasure she was feeling, wasn't from a dream. She was truly experiencing something for real.

Green eyes shooting open, she glanced down to find perhaps the most shocking sight she'd ever witnessed. Her new shinx was between her legs, purring away as he lapped at her cock. She had both male and female parts and after one less than pleasant experience, was always scared to let it show that she didn't just have female anatomy. Yet now, here she was, being pleasured by the small pokemon.

"W-what are you doing?" she asked, conflicted between wanting him to continue with how wonderful it felt, but also wanting to push him away as this wasn't a normal thing to have happen.

She couldn't help closing her eyes as her length twitched in happy response to the attention it was getting. Ace's tongue was rough, but not in an uncomfortable way. It more so added to the pleasure.

"Shouldn't be doing this...but it feels so good..." her words were soon followed by a moan.

What could be the harm of letting this continue? He started this himself after all and by the sound and feel of his purring, he seemed to be enjoying this as well. He had paused for a moment at her words, but then slowly and deliberately continued. He lowered his head enough to drag his tongue from between her balls all the way up to to the tip. He paused there, seeming to suddenly be lost in thought about something.

She watched him, wondering what he was going to do next. It didn't take long before she got her answer. He walked onto her chest, turning to face her member once more while also placing his rear rather deliberately in her face. She got quite the eyeful of his surprisingly large balls and exposed, lightly ridged shaft hanging below him. Clearly him working on her had gotten him rather excited as well.

A moment later, she felt him begin to take her into his mouth. It was a shock turn of events but it certainly felt great all the same. She started to figure out what he was wanting and lifted a hand to lightly bring his cock closer to her face. She marvled for a moment at how different it was from her own before giving it a tentative lick, momentarily wondering if she was seriously about to this.

She answered her own question as she went ahead and began to take him into her own mouth. Once she did, Ace seemed all the more happy as his purring intensified and pre began to leak onto her tongue. She smiled a bit how pleased he seemed to be about it and she herself moaned more around him as he took in even more of his cock in her mouth. It was surprising how much he was able to take.

The two of them continued to explore the other in this new found world of pleasure. It would only be a few more minutes of increasing tension before they reached their limit and shot their loads in the others mouth. Rae had never swallowed cum before, let alone that from a pokemon, but did her best to swallow everything he gave her.

"That...was a lot...of fun," Rae panted afterwards as she leaned back, smiling in the afterglow of how surprisingly good that had felt.

It seemed Ace agreed as he suddenly rammed his face into her as he purred. His tongue darting out to lick at her face and lips in his own way of telling her how much he enjoyed it. She couldn't help but laugh a bit at the sudden show of extra affection and reached up to pet him. That's when she remembered something rather important.

Reaching her hand out until she felt her bag, she pulled it closer and blindly dug around in it with her one hand until she pulled out an empty pokeball.

"Since it seems we're going to be a team, I'd love to make it official," she told him, holding the ball towards him, "I won't make you stay in there if you don't want to. But it'll make it so no one else can take you away."

Ace blinked back at her before jumping to the ground next to her and taking a playful pose. He'd jump around a bit, very much excited and also trying to make a game out of it. Rae was a little confused at first, before starting to figure out what he wanted and gently tossed the ball at where she thought he'd jump to next. As it turned out, that wasn't even needed as he jumped to meet it regardless.

The ball landed with a dull thud, only rocking once before making the alerted sound that the capture had been successful. She did it. She'd finally caught her first pokemon! Now they would be able to travel together and have all the fun they wanted to their hearts content.
