Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokémon.

If I did, you'd be seeing Red instead of Ash, and Venusaur would be getting railed every episode.

A/N: Holy sh** guys, It's been a while, hasn't it? I won't say that I didn't completely forget about this whole thing (because I did), but I am coming back, even if I do take long breaks for no reason. Good news though. Since chapter one had been posted, I had already had chapters 1 through 10 written in journals. So although the idea had left my head, I was smart enough to write down multiple chapters ahead of what I already have typed up. There probably aren't many of my old followers still reading this (and I don't blame them), but I do hope I get them back, as well as gain some additional followers. Anyways, let's get this show on the road!

Chapter 6: "Honest Feelings"

After Sapphire's initial anger had subsided (well, enough so that she wouldn't physically harm Ike), she and Ike walked back to Sophia.

"Here you go," said Ike, handing Sophia the Pokeyen. "I think you could get a room right next door to us if you're still a bit shaken up."

Sophia averted her gaze. "Thanks, really..."

Sapphire scowled to herself. 'What's she so flustered about..?'

Having already established a link between the three of them, Sapphire suggested the head inside of the building to sort things out about her room.

"I think Sapphire's right, let's go." said Ike, going on ahead for them to follow.

At the registration desk

"..And I would like a room next to this young man.." said Sophia in a slightly timid voice, fidgeting where she stood and trying to avoid any and all eye contact.

"Very well," the girl on the other side of the desk replied. She seemed around the same age as Ike and Sophia, but she had a more mature look about her. Her eyes flitted between Sophia and Ike several times, filled with curiosity, saturated with questions. She finished booking Sophia's room, then handed Sophia her card key. "...Your room is 147. Since you are in the room next to Ik- this young man, he can show you to your room."

As the group was walking away, Ike, noticed the desk girl staring his way, who then quickly looked back at her monitor as soon as they made eye contact.

'Weird..'

15 Minutes Later

'Thank Dream World..,' Sapphire mentally sighed. 'I didn't think we'd ever get here.'

The group was now tiredly approaching their own respective doors. Sophia said farewell for the time being and swiped her room card on the door before stepping into their own room. Ike did the same with his room card and held the door open for Sapphire to come through. After Sapphire had walked through, he shut the door and walked towards the bed. He stopped for a moment and unbuckled his Pokeball belt, setting it on the nearby nightstand.

"Hey, Sapphire!" shouted Ike, shouted Ike. Since Sapphire was drawing a bath he knew he had to speak over the running water.

'What is it?'

"Oh yeah, I forgot I could do that too." Ike says to himself. 'How does stopping by Sophia's room to check in on her after you're done sound?'

A few seconds of silence pass.

'As long as there is no physical contact between you and her, I guess I am willing.'

'I'm going to go ahead and check up on her. Head over when you're finished.' said Ike, getting off of the bed to walk to the door.

Ike can feel her mentally jump at him not even a second later. If in your mind you wore clothes, then Sapphire was already tugging on his.

'You are NOT leaving without me! Who knows what might happen?!' Sapphire yelled at Ike frantically.

'Oh, calm down. Nothing will happen. Relax and take your bath. You were sweaty from your fight out there, and smelled like wet dog.' joked Ike, pretending to hold his nose closed in his mindscape.

'Eep! You jerk!' she yelled after him as he left the room.

Ike clenched his hand as he prepared to knock on Sophia's door. Just before he did, he decided to put his ear to the door and listen closely, an old habit since his childhood, being a nosey kid and all.

"Mm~.."

Faint sounds, very faint sounds, almost impossible to hear caught Ike's ear.

'Uhm.. huh? Well, I'm already here, might as well.. Sorry for interrupting!' he thought to himself.

"..Sophiiaa? You, uh.. You in there?"

Silence followed for a while, and then.. more silence.

After the silence had not been interrupted for a while, Ike started on his way back to his room. Before he had taken a step though, he heard the *click* of a door being unlocked.

"Wait..!" shouted Sophia, jutting her head through the small space of door she had open.

Ike met her eyes with his and her skin slowly became tinged with bright pink, where it had already been slightly flushed. Remembering what had happened only moments earlier, Ike's cheeks also tingled with slight embarrassment.

"How.. How long were you there?" asked Sophia, her face beet-red at this point.

"O-only right when I asked if you were there, swear! Was there something, or...someone occupying you?"

"N-no! Nononono! Nothing like that!" Sophia's face is now so hot and red that it seems as if vapor is rising from her skin.

"Well.. I was wondering If I could come in, check up on you, see how you were doing."

"Okay! Just, uhm.. Just gimme a minute, alright?"

A few minutes of crashing and sounds of chaos later, Sophia opened up the door fully, letting Ike see her fully, as well as her room. Seems she was in too much of rush to clean up, because she hadn't changed out of her loungewear she put on when she got in the room, a loosely-fitted night shirt that was slipping off of one of her shoulders.

Ike's POV

She invited me into her room and I instantly looked around, searching for anything esoteric, Y'know, just in case she's one of those girls who like exotics.

"Hey Sophia, are you sure there was nothing going on in here?" I asked, not minding my own forwardness.

"I don't know what you're saying.." she replied hurriedly.

So It's like that, is it?

"Oh well, I won't pester you for an answer if there really wasn't anything."

I sat down on her bed. Another heart-shaped one. Jeez. I completely forgot this was a Love Hotel.

"Sophia, you know this is a Love Hotel, right?"

A few seconds of silence pass between us before she replies.

"Eh?"

Slowly, after looking around the room and observing the apparatus around the room, her face fills with embarrassment.

"I just... thought you should know..."

After a while of silence passed between us, I popped the question I'd been waiting to ask.

"Hey, Sophia, what would you think of becoming partners with me and travelling together? Are you up for being travelling companions?"

She spent a while in thought, the blush having faded from her face without a trace. Finally, after a few minutes of consideration, she gives me her answer.

"Sounds fun. I'll join you. But we get separate tents. A girl's gotta have her room to do her work."

Deal!

"Alright, ma'am, I can agree to those conditions."

"Don't call me ma'am, it makes me sound old."

I chuckled, then got up from the bed.

"Well, that's everything I wanted to say, I guess I'll see you later."

Walking towards the door, I was stopped by a pair of arms around my chest.

"Uh.."

"Aw, c'mon, don't leave~"

"U-uh, I have to go! I think I hear Sapphire calling me!"

"Why go to Sapphire when I'm right here? Hm?"

She tried pulling the oldest trick in the book of seduction on me, squishing her breasts up against me. Joke's on her, I'm an ass-man! I quickly ducked under her hands and left through the door. I held it shut from the outside, and told her, "We can later".

I let go of the door and bolted towards my own door, opened in, came in, then shut it immediately.

Phew.

'Ahem. And what took you so long?'

"Don't you worry Sapphire, I kept up my end of the bargain. Ah, but I did ask her if she wanted to be a companion on our journey."

'Oh really?'

She sashayed towards me, swaying her hips seductively, looking at me through half-lidded bedroom eyes.

'Oh relax, I just have to confirm that'

She came to a stop right in front of me, took a single step forward and began to sniff around the nape of my neck. It tickled lightly, and I snickered a bit. Seeming satisfied, she pulled back.

'Seems good here...'

She about-faced and began walking away. Suddenly, she disappeared into thin air. Reappearing behind me, far too quick for me to realize, she bound my hands together.

"Sapphi-"

'I just need a bit more proof, master~"

She began to circle her way around my body, coming to a stop in front of me once again. Up and down she ran her eyes over my body, licking her lips. After her little observation, she looked into my eyes. A few moment passed, then she batted her eyelashes and licked her lips again. She dropped to her knees and shoved her muzzle into my groin. She looked up at me, inhaling deeply, and as she inhaled, her eyes progressively started rolling up, giving her a blissful high off of my musk. She pulled her muzzle away from my pants, exhaling deeply, her hot breath permeating the air.

After regaining her composure, she got up from her knees.

'Looks like you're all clean. Well, except for...but I like it that way~'

In a burst of speed, Sapphire smashed her lips against mine..

'Please master,, I need this..'

Hesitantly, I parted my lips for Sapphire. As soon as she notices, she pushes her tongue into my mouth. Before she could take complete control, I pushed back with my tongue, forcing hers back. Her eyes widen, then soften as she falls into our passionate kiss. It started slow, but became more heated as our tongues intertwined. During the kiss, she managed to wrap her hands around my back and pull me onto the bed. Once on the bed, we pulled away from the kiss so she could use the spike on the back of her hand to free my hands. Immediately after my hands were released I began to massage and gently knead her breasts. I had to please her, she needed this, and it was my job to give this to her. It wasn't hard to keep going, her moans of pleasure, her small whimpers. Simply intoxicating.

"Sapphire, I know we've gone this far, but are you certain, absolutely certain you want to be doing this for me - with me?"

I had to consider her feelings too. I couldn't just take her and ravage her because of my own raging hormones. That would be far too cruel.

'Are you an idiot? O f course I want to do this with you. Why else would I do this?'

I thought about what she said for a time, just really elaborating on it.

These feelings that I have, the needs within me that I want fulfilled, they aren't just mine. Me and Sapphire have the for each other.

"A-ahaha. I guess you're right.. I am kind of an idiot.."

'Yes, but you're my dumb master.'

"Heheh. Thanks Sapphire."

Then we moved back into our heated kiss. And thus began our day of ecstasy.

End POV

- Honest Feelings -

A/N: Sweet Arceus, I wrote this in one sitting, which is saying a lot for me. I did it so that I didn't forget, and so that the followers getting this alert would at least have a little something to read. But again, I am so sorry for taking such a long time, but again, I completely forgot about this whole fanfic thing. I do revise whatever I wrote in my journal so that it doesn't suck. This story may be full of clichés and tropes, but I refuse to fill it with sucky content.

Until later, See You Space Cowboy =*
