Hey readers! I'm back with another chapter of my fanfic. It's another shorter one but hopefully it's worth the wait. Enjoy!

Pokémon Journeys: Aaron's New Experience

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Quiet Night

Layla looked to her left and saw Aaron staring at the Pendant while Selena was driving them back home. The Zoroark got concerned and asked "Are you okay, Aaron?"

"Hmm?" Aaron replied "I'm fine"

Layla then asked "You're thinking about what happened on the news aren't you?"

Selena glanced at the rear view mirror to look at Aaron as she asked "What is this about?"

Aaron sighed "The police released my name to the public. They know I'm involved with Team Rocket getting arrested."

"What?" Selena was shocked by what she just heard "Why would they do that?

"I don't know," Aaron answered "Probably to use me as a witness or something. Frank said that I've run into Team Rocket so much, they know who I am anyway so they released my name to the news."

"They didn't say anything about—" The Chosen of Cresselia began to ask.

"No," Aaron interrupted "The Pendant and its powers are unknown to the public. All people know is that I was involved with the arrest of nearly every Team Rocket member in the Rustboro-Medford area including Richards."

"What about the rest of Team Rocket?" Selena asked "Aren't they going to come after you?"

"No doubt they will," Aaron answered "That's why the police are going to be patrolling our area at night to keep a lookout."

Selena pulled off to the side of the road and stopped. She then asked "What do you mean 'our' area?"

"I mean 'our' area," Aaron answered "As in my neighborhood and yours."

"Why are they going to watch my area?" Selena lashed at him "I didn't ask for this!"

"News flash, Psychic Girl," Aaron pointed at her "Team Rocket saw you last night as well. Whether we like it or not, we're all in danger of getting attacked by Team Rocket again."

Selena stayed silent and sighed "Point taken…And don't call me 'Psychic Girl'"

"I was also considering Jean Grey but you don't have any fire-type Pokémon," Aaron said with a shrug. "Anyway, I'm sorry to bring you into this mess, Selena. I hate that I put you and Seth in danger."

Selena turned to Aaron and said "It isn't your fault, Aaron. We're all victims of circumstance. The only thing we can do is be prepared for whatever happens to us. I know you mean well and we'll help you in any way we can."

Aaron smiled and said "And we'll do the same for you. Thanks, Selena."

"You're welcome," She replied before turning to face the road and begin driving "Now let's get you home."

Aaron, Layla and Ryu were dropped off at their home by Selena. They bid her farewell and entered the house. Aaron let Lily out of her Poké Ball before they walked in and saw his mom and dad in the kitchen. "Hey" Aaron greeted them "We're back."

"Aaron," his mom looked at him sternly.

Aaron noticed the look and asked "What?"

"Don't play dumb," Kim replied "You've gotten yourself into a lot of trouble. Officer Holden told us that Team Rocket is after you."

"Oh please," Aaron replied "I've got a lot more to worry about than Team Rocket right now. I still have to figure out why I have the Pendant of Arceus."

"Aaron," His dad said "Your pendant is why they're after you. You need to get rid of it."

"You think I have a choice?" Aaron snapped at him "…Okay I probably do, but I don't even know why the Artifacts of Legends exist or why I even got one. The way I see it, I got this for a reason and I got to find out why, whether I like it or not. My guess there's going to be some huge battle to bring balance to the world and I and the rest of the Chosen have to take part in it…Or at least that's the general plot of every Pokémon game from Ruby/Sapphire and on. Everything before that was just stopping some guy from making money by stealing Pokémon and stuff…" The trainer went silent "What were we talking about? I lost my train of thought."

"Something about the Pendant and Team Rocket," Layla reminded him.

"Oh yeah," Aaron continued "Everything will be fine. The police are watching the neighborhood to make sure that we're all safe. Even if we run into trouble, I've got my Pokémon and my powers to protect us."

Aaron's dad turned to his mom "He's got a point, dear."

His mom sighed "Alright, Aaron. We trust you."

"Okay then." He told his parents "The police will only be around for a few months. Once things have died down, we'll be alright." The trainer then said "Since that's over with, it's raining again and Ken needs to stay here for dinner tonight."

"That's fine," Brent replied "I hope he's okay with burgers or hot dogs."

"I'm sure he'll be alright with that," Aaron assured him.

-Later that night-

After dinner, Aaron was in the game room with his Pokémon. He, Layla, Ryu and Lily were playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl while Ken watched them. Aaron was playing as Pit, Layla as Fox McCloud, Ryu as Lucario (obviously), and Lily was playing as Kirby. They were playing a two stock match on Battlefield.

The match went on for minutes until Layla got knocked out by Ryu. Aaron, Lily and Ryu were down to one life left. "You're going down, Ryu. You're at 110 percent damage."

"Yeah," Ryu acknowledged "But you're at eighty-five."

The two charged at each other in the game but were caught by surprise at a Thwomp crashing on top of them both knocking them out. Aaron and Ryu stared at the screen showing that Lily beat them with Kirby's ability to transform into a rock. The two males hung their heads in shame with Lily and Layla laughing and giving each other a high five.

"Well that was anti-climactic," Aaron stated and then asked "You guys want to take a break?"

"Sure," Layla nodded "I'm going to get something to drink."

"I'll go with you," Lily replied as she followed the Zoroark downstairs.

Aaron turned to his Charizard and said "Hey Ken, I need to talk to Ryu about something real quick. We'll be in my room if you need us."

"Very well," Ken nodded.

Aaron turned to Ryu who nodded as they went to his room with Aaron closing the door.

"What is it that you need to talk about, Aaron?" The jackal asked as he sat down on his bed.

"Well," Aaron replied as he sat down on his desk chair "This morning…I was using my powers when I wasn't really supposed to."

"I knew that already, Aaron," Ryu stated.

"How did you-?" Aaron asked.

"I told you that people might be able to detect you using them…myself included. I could sense your aura when you and Layla were out of the shower." Ryu answered "Anyway, I don't have a problem with you using your powers in the safety of your own house so long as it's not for anything bad."

"Don't worry about that, Ryu," Aaron assured him "I wouldn't do anything like that. Anyway, that's not all that I wanted to say. When I woke up this morning, I felt really weak and I had a massive headache. I tried using my powers and my headache got even worse. When I put the Pendant of Arceus on, it glowed brightly and my whole body felt rejuvenated and I could use my powers with no problem."

"Hmm…" Ryu thought and then asked "You said your head pain happened when you used your powers without the pendant?"

Aaron nodded and the Lucario asked further "And you felt fine after putting the pendant on?"

"Yeah," Aaron confirmed "I assumed that using my powers to the extent I did without the pendant last night is what exhausted me."

"That might explain it," Ryu stated "However, I also believe your connection with Lily taught you to use Heal Bell."

Aaron stopped his thought "Hold up, I thought Heal Bell only worked to heal the injuries and illnesses of others not myself."

"Your pendant, Aaron," Ryu pointed out "It allows you to learn what me, Layla, Lily, and Ken know only more powerful. How else would you explain that you were able to best me with your Aura Sphere when we first met?"

"I don't know," Aaron said "But I guess you're right."

"Well," Ryu said "We could still be wrong about how you recovered from your exhaustion this morning but I'm pretty sure you have the ability to heal yourself and others should you need it."

"Seriously," Aaron stated "I'm becoming a one man army and a hospital over the course of a week. There still has to be a bigger drawback to me using these powers though. I just don't know what."

"We have time to figure it out, Aaron," Ryu assured him "There's no need to worry."

After some time, the Lucario then asked "Umm…Aaron, would it be too much to ask what you and Layla were doing in the bathroom this morning?"

Aaron turned to the fighting-steel type "Kind of, but you're going to find out sooner or later anyway." The trainer sighed and then said "This morning, Layla and I were…making each other feel good."

"What?" Ryu asked with a shock.

"We didn't go that far though," Aaron explained "We just took turns going down on each other."

"What does that mean?" Ryu asked curiously.

'Oh God,' Aaron thought 'I'm going to end up teaching my own Pokémon about oral sex. What the hell is wrong with me?'

-Even Later-

Aaron was lying back on the couch with Layla on top of him. Ken was in the middle of the game room sleeping soundly with a pillow below his dimly lit tail. The trainer was wearing his t-shirt and boxers while he and his Zoroark were adjusting their position to be ready to go to sleep.

Aaron looked to Layla and asked "Are you comfy?"

"Yeah," Layla nodded "About as comfortable as I can be."

"It's only for a couple nights," Aaron assured her "After that, we're switching with Ryu and Lily and we'll have the bedroom to ourselves."

"Okay," The vixen said as she looked to the side a little upset.

Aaron got concerned and raised himself up along with Layla as he asked "Hey, what's the matter?"

"Nothing," Layla lied.

"That look says otherwise," Aaron replied.

"I'm fine," Layla said.

The trainer grinned and reached his hands downward and felt around for the Zoroark's foot paws. Layla felt his fingers lightly rubbing the pads of her feet as she started to snicker. Aaron got more vigorous with his hand movements which caused Layla to start laughing. "Aaron, Sta-hahaha!"

"I'm sorry. What's that?" Aaron asked playfully while still tickling his girlfriend's foot paws.

"Stop tickling me-heeheehee" Layla pleaded.

The trainer complied with Layla's wish and stopped tickling her. "Are you ready to talk now?" he asked.

"Yeah," Layla nodded as she calmed herself.

"So what's on your mind?" Aaron asked.

"Aaron…" Layla paused "Earlier today when you were petting Luna…I couldn't help but be jealous."

"I was just being friendly with her," Aaron stated.

"Being friendly?" Layla repeated angrily and said "She was on your lap in a more than friendly way."

The trainer defended himself "I was petting her like I would with Walter when he climbs onto my lap. I stopped after I realized that you were getting upset about it. I wasn't trying to advance on her or anything."

"How would you feel if I sat on a guy's lap and he started petting me?" Layla asked.

Aaron sighed "I see your point…I'm sorry, Layla. I just got really excited about seeing an Absol that I got carried away."

"You liked Absol as a kid didn't you?" The dark fox asked.

"Yeah," Aaron confirmed "Absol was my favorite Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire. Lucario became my new favorite Pokémon once Diamond and Pearl dropped so it's fair to say I'm glad Ryu is part of our team…" The trainer began scratching Layla's ears and continued "But then Black and White came out and a certain mischievous fox became my favorite Pokémon…and she still is."

Layla's frown turned upside down and said "Aww…I can't stay mad at you, Aaron. I forgive you and I'm sorry for being jealous. I'll try not to get upset if you pet other Pokémon again."

"It's okay, Layla," Aaron smiled "I'll try to be more sensitive about that kind of thing."

The Zoroark smiled wider and pushed her trainer back onto the couch. She rubbed her head against the human's and licked his cheek before she laid her head down on his chest. Layla then asked "Aaron…What was your life like before I met you?"

Aaron began to tell her "Well, I grew up in a small neighborhood in Medford before the house we live in now was even built. I had a bunch of friends in my neighborhood to hang out with and school was okay. I got bullied a bit by this one guy in elementary school but things worked out better and I was actually good friends with him afterwards. I was pretty obnoxious as a kid but I grew out of it in middle school and high school...well, mostly."

"What was your old house like?" Layla asked.

"It was smaller than this house," Aaron described his former home "It was one story tall but there was still plenty of space for us for a while. The backyard had more space for running around than what we have now and the front yard was more flat and perfect for playing sports and stuff. You would have liked it."

"Layla asked "When did you meet Chris?"

"I met Chris in my freshman year in high school." Aaron explained "We got paired up as partners on our first day in English class. I found out that he had a lot of the same interests as me and we started hanging out nearly every day after school. I would always get bummed out whenever my parents wouldn't let me hang out with him because I had homework and stuff to do and I had to be picked up from his place until I finally started driving. He introduced me to a bunch of awesome bands like Linkin Park and Smashing Pumpkins and it helped me get more into listening to rock and metal. Other than that, we played Yu-Gi-Oh! a lot and we loved playing video games together."

Layla gave a light yawn as she closed her eyes. "Am I boring you?" Aaron asked.

"No…" Layla said "Keep going. It's helping me relax…"

"Okay," Aaron replied "Anyway, I met Tim when I was a sophomore and he was a freshman. I met him through our gaming club and we also had similar interests as me and Chris. The three of us started hanging out almost all the time after school and during the summer. I liked it more than I liked being alone in my room doing nothing but play on my DS and stuff."

"Did you get lonely a lot?" Layla asked.

Aaron paused for a moment and sighed "Yeah…I did. Especially after high school and Chris went to school in Slateport City."

"Where is Slateport anyway?" Layla asked.

Aaron answered her question "It's in California. It's actually very close to San Francisco. Anyway, the only person I had other than Tim to hang out with after high school was…umm…you-know-who…She made me happy…for a while. After you-know-what happened, I got super depressed because I had like nobody to hang out with. I had zero confidence to go out and meet people and I had no incentive to do anything but go to school, do homework, game a little bit, sleep and repeat every day...That is until I met a certain little Zorua and became best friends with her…and more" Aaron smiled and hugged Layla close to him as he finished his sentence.

"Aww…" Layla cooed and licked his cheek "I love you, Aaron."

"I love you too, Layla." Aaron said.

Aaron and Layla kissed each other's lips gently for a minute until Layla felt Aaron's erection pressing against her crotch. The Zoroark pulled away from the kiss and grinned as she moved off Aaron slightly and placed her paw on Aaron's groin covered by his boxers. "Layla? What are you doing?" Aaron asked.

"Shh…" Layla whispered as she slipped her paw under the waistband of his underwear and fondled him "It's okay, Aaron. I'll take care of you."

"We shouldn't do this," Aaron whispered "Ken is right over there and he or my dad will hear us."

"They're asleep and so is everyone else…Except maybe Ryu and Lily. Plus they won't hear us if we're both really quiet." Layla replied before she kissed Aaron's neck.

Do I really need to say it at this point?...Okay fine. LEMON AHEAD!

Layla went lower under the blanket and pulled down his boxers exposing his erect dick. The Zoroark licked the pads of her paw and grabbed Aaron's penis and began jerking him off.

"Layla…" Aaron whispered as he closed his eyes while Layla continued to run her paw up and down his shaft. Feeling his girlfriend's paw going up and down his rod was amazing to him no matter how many times she did it.

Eventually, Layla stopped making Aaron a little upset that the feeling was gone. This was quickly fixed when Layla brought her mouth down to Aaron's dick and kissed the tip. She then brought her tongue out and circled around the tip of his penis. Afterwards, Layla trailed the tip of her tongue down his rod to the base and then slowly back up to the tip.

Layla circled her tongue around Aaron's tip once more before she brought her mouth closer and took his dick into her mouth. Aaron grunted silently as she felt Layla's mouth around his penis. The Zoroark gently sucked on his tip and teased her trainer with her tongue before going lower and taking his entire length into her maw.

Aaron closed his eyes in pleasure while Layla continued giving him a blowjob. Feeling the warmth of her maw, the wetness of her tongue and the gentle raking of her teeth on his shaft brought him to a state of euphoria. "Layla…" Aaron said silently "We haven't done this that much but you've gotten really good at this."

While Layla continued sucking Aaron's cock, Ken was still curled up on the floor as he heard sucking sounds causing him to open his eyes slowly and saw his trainer with a look of pleasure about him and what he presumed was Layla under the blanket. The dragon closed his eyes in disgust and tried to go back to sleep.

Aaron couldn't take much more of Layla sucking him off. The feel of every part of her mouth felt amazing to him and he grunted silently as he came. Layla felt his ejaculate hit her throat as she pulled away coughing and gagging.

End of lemon.

Aaron quickly recovered from his orgasm and got up and got immediately concerned for his Pokémon who was coughing. "Layla," He whispered as he patted her back and grabbed a bottle of water off the end table and offered it to her. The Zoroark took a quick drink and gave it back to Aaron who put the cap back on and placed it on the table behind him.

"Are you okay?" Aaron asked.

"I'm fine, Aaron," Layla answered.

"I'm sorry, babe," The trainer apologized "I should have warned you."

"It's okay," Layla replied with a smile placing her paw on his cheek.

At this point Ken opened one of his eyes when he heard Aaron and Layla whispering. He saw the couple looking to each other with smiles on their faces. Ken smiled lightly at the sight of his trainer and the Zoroark together. The Charizard closed his eye and fell back asleep.

Aaron and Layla kissed each other for a few seconds and the trainer pulled back his boxers up to cover himself up. "You know you didn't have to do this, Layla," Aaron said "I would have been happy just waiting for us to have the bedroom to ourselves to do this again."

"I know, Aaron," Layla replied "But I wanted to do it for you."

The vixen licked the human's nose and cooed as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Still, I'll have to surprise you sometime," Aaron grinned.

"Mmm…" Layla grinned back "I'm looking forward to that."

Aaron pulled the blanket over their bodies and laid his head back on the pillow. He was about to fall asleep until Layla interrupted "Aaron?"

"Hmm?" Aaron replied.

"Do you think Ryu and Lily will be okay?" Layla asked.

"What do you mean?" He inquired.

"I mean with taking things slow like we are," The dark fox explained.

Aaron closed his eyes and said "I wouldn't worry about them. I'm sure they won't go as fast as we are." The trainer opened his eyes back open and questioned "Why do you ask?"

"It's just that…" Layla paused "I told Lily about what we do when…we're alone."

Aaron had his eyes wide open and replied "You too?" The trainer rubbed his eyes as he asked rhetorically "Oh man. What the hell have we done?"

End of Chapter Twenty-Eight

That's one more chapter done for the story. I was hoping to get this done a week or two earlier but I got distracted (You'll never guess what it was that distracted me). I don't know when I'll start on the next chapter but it will probably be sometime in the next few weeks. I won't finish it until (maybe) June. I'm working on moving out of my parents' house because I finally got switched over to full-time in my job! (yay…)

If you're interested at all in playing games and stuff, send me a message and I'll let you know what my usernames are. Keep in mind, I don't have an Xbox (any of them) or a PS4 and despite having a lot of games on Steam, there's plenty I still have not bought (but want to). Anyway, I appreciate all the reviews and support I've received since I started years ago and I hope to continue making more content for you to enjoy. Thank you all for reading! My name is Aaron (Thor-Axe18) and I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye!
