Money.
That was all he needed.
The thought repeated in the Lucario's mind as he walked though the dull streets of Jubilife City. He could always opt to become a trainer's pokemon, which was the norm for many paupers. Though in doing so, they had to sever all ties to their families as they travelled around the region, which was a big no-no for him.
He needed the money, the money to keep his siblings happy... and alive.
Jobs in Jubilife city were hard to come by, what with the humans taking most of the jobs. Pokemon were either wild and lived in the forest, or they were civilized beings that lived amongst the humans. Those that were neither willingly captured themselves to trainers as a free ride, that is, if the trainer wanted to catch them.
The Lucario sat on a brown bench. He was nearby the Global trade station, the place for trainers to swap pokemon. To him it felt like a slave center,'selling pokemon for their own benefit' as he would put it. The option was always waiting for him, to become a slave, just to keep his siblings fed.
But he never took it, he always took the odd job here and there, earning a few pokedollars for the day, but he needed a job which was more permanent, a job that is within Jubilife city, and hopefully, a job that he could enjoy.
And it was approaching him behind the enormous doors of the Global Trade Station.
Click.
The Lucario turned his head towards the massive steel doors.
There, he saw a sight that could give any male a nosebleed.
A trio of pokemon of the same species exited the station, accompanied by a man in a white lab coat. Two of them were Blazikens, whilst the third was a Combusken.
What caught his attention was the female Blaziken.
She had Beige hair which flowed down to her knees. Said hair covered her chest, splitting off into two and wrapping under her arms.
And her breasts. Those breasts, they were barely hidden by the beige mane. Round, large and enticing. Everything a male pokemon ever wanted in a female.
A diamond-shape patch of yellow hair was situated right here the Beige mane split off, showing trace amounts of 'underboob'.
Her body seemed slightly toned, though not as toned as the Lucario's. It was shaped like an hourglass, with child-bearing hips that could easily pop out eggs at any time.
Her thighs were not fat, nor were they skinny, they seemed to be at the right size. her calves bulged with power, and her feet were covered with tufts of yellow fur.
"Dad! I do not need a butler!" She screamed, her voice was very feminine, like a teenagers.
"Well you need one now! If we're gonna be rich, then we need to start acting rich!" The other Blaziken replied. His voice was gruff and manly, the kind that would make women swoon over.
"Since your trainer wanted you to inherit the corporation after his departure to Kalos, I'll assure you that you will be rich, rich beyond your wildest dreams!" The man in the lab coat said.
"Good! Hey,you!" The father Blaziken pointed at the Lucario, who was knocked out of his infatuated stupor.
"Y-yes sir?" He replied.
"What's your name?"
"A-Andrew sir."
"Do you have a job?"
"N-no s-sir."
"Do you want a job?"
"Y-yes sir."
"Good! You're our new butler then!" The male Blaziken grinned.
Andrew's eyes widened. Somehow, Arceus had answered his plea and given him a job right in his lap. He nodded furiously and got up from the bench, slowly motioning towards the family.
"Dad!Don't just pick pokemon out of the blue! What if he's dangerous?" The female said.
"He doesn't seem dangerous, well, apart from his spikes."The young Combusken replied, she had a sweet voice, one that could make any grown man feel putty in her hands.
Andrew quickly retracted his paw spikes, doing anything to ensure that he is not a threat. The spike on his chest had been removed by him long ago, so that he could properly hug his siblings.
Andrew approached the trio and bowed to them, like a servant should.
"I p-promise than I am no threat, sir's and ma'am's." Andrew mentioned.
"Who is he gonna work for then?" The Combusken said.
"Why, for all of us of course!" The male said.
The female stared at Andrew again, boring a hole in his body. she narrowed her eyes.
"I'm gonna work you until you run away from this job." She said as she glared at him.
"That will be no problem ma'am, I've been straining myself to help my siblings, and if any opportunity to make them happy comes by, then I'll try my hardest." Andrew replied.
The female Blaziken flinched at his words, her eyes widening ever so slightly.
"That's the spirit!" The father said as he patted Andrew on the back, albeit roughly.
A black limousine rolled around the corner and stopped infront of the family. Andrew raised his hand, facing it towards the void black car.
"Shall we?"
"I knew we picked a good choice!" The father laughed heartily. "Alright kid, come with us and we'll take you to your home to get yourself ready."
"As you wish sir."
Andrew and the trio got onto the limousine, the man in the lab coat had returned inside the building once the car left.
The inside of the Limousine was rather spacious. Velvety white seats felt like cushions when one would sit on them, and a small drinks stand was placed on the wall that divided the drivers seat to the others.
Once Andrew had told the driver the directions to his home, the father of the trio struck up a conversation.
"So Andrew, you said you had siblings?"
"Yes sir, I have two younger sisters who are still Riolus."
"Are they friendly?" The Combusken asked.
"Very much so, they are extremely kind to others and they never take anything for granted."
"Lies." The female Blaziken scoffed.
"Sarah, just because you are the complete opposite of Andrews siblings does not give you the right to act like that!" The father shouted at her.
'So her name is Sarah...' Andrew thought.
Sarah closed her eyes dismissively and faced the window of the limousine.
"I hope I can make friends with them!" The young Combusken said.
"Why do you ask that? I'm sure that you have plenty of friends with you. My sisters are just dying to find anyone who would talk to them without insulting about how poor they are." Andrew said.
"Well, I...Don't really have any friends...at all."
"How so?"
"Everyone in my school just wants to be friends with the cool kids. You know? The ones with who look awesome even in their first evolution stage. Ever since I evolved, everyone stopped talking to me. They even had the gall to call me a big chicken...which I obviously am." The Combusken stared at the floor, dejected.
"I've personally dealt with the bullies that she had to endure... so that she can live a normal life." The father butted in with a sly grin.
"I'm sure that they would gladly welcome you as their friend."
"Really?"
"Really really."
The Combusken squealed in joy as she jumped on her seat.
"Yay!"
The father smiled at Rai. content at his actions.
"May I ask you and your daughter's names sir?" Andrew asked.
"Harold Blaze. My youngest daughter here is called Lily Blaze, and I assume that you know my eldest daughter already."
"Do you have a wife?"
"Of course I have a wife! She is currently travelling with my trainer to the Kalos region!"
"Oh, sorry about mentioning that."
"No worries, I'm just angry that he took her instead of me." And for the first time, Andrew saw a grown man pout in front of his eyes.
"Tell me butler, why are you taking jobs when your parents should be?" Sarah asked, having enough of pouting infront of him.
Andrews ears drooped low as he sighed. If he was going to be their butler, they're gonna have to know everything.
"My parents were captured by a pair of trainers. When they were gone I had to become the head of the family, and that meant trying to manage with my sisters without money. Since living in the wild wasn't an option due to me leaving them alone for a long time and them not joining because they were too young to hunt, we had to move into the city."
Everyone except Andrew had their mouths, expressions of shock were evident on all of their faces.
"I do the odd job here and there, and I get enough to keep us fed. It's not the life that we should have been given but we all embraced it. And now... now that I have a stable job thanks to you sir, I can finally get my sisters a better life, I can place them into a daycare under my name so that they don't have to wait patiently in our home, they can finally communicate with other children of their age and most importantly, they can have a better life."
As it just so happened, the limousine finally stopped. The pokemon who drove the limousine finally spoke.
"Uhh, is this your house kid?"
Andrew exited the limousine, leaving the silent family to peek out and look at his home.
"Yes, this is my home."
The family stared at the broken down house in shock.
It was rather small. Parts of the roof were missing and the tiles which fell off littered the ground with its sharp pieces. Flecks of paint had been stripped off of the house, leaving a rather unpleasant sight. The windows were boarded up with wooden planks, in which most of them were rotting from the looks of it. The door seemed slightly ajar, it had cracks all round its blue body. Vines had started to grow on the house, indicating that it had been like this for quite a while, possibly even for a long time. Just how long did Andrew and his family live here?
The door slightly opened to reveal two Riolus, their eyes widened with disbelief as they ran towards their brother. Their fur was frazzled and dirty in contrast to Andrew's.
"Big brother!"
"I missed you big brother!"
Andrew pulled them into a loving embrace. The Blaziken family watched as the two young sisters frantically nuzzled their sibling, who, in their eyes, was a father figure to them.
"Guess what?" Andrew said.
"What?" They both said.
"I got a job, which means that we won't have to live here anymore."
"Yay!" They both screamed.
"I love you big brother!"
"I love you both too."Andrew smiled at the bundles of joy in her arms. He turned towards the limousine and the teary-eyed family(Sarah was an exception, as she was not looking at all).
"So, tomorrow you'll pick me up?"
"Y-yes." The father Blaziken sniffled, his gruff voice seemed to crack as he spoke.
"S-see you to-tomorrow." He said as he closed the door.
The limousine left the scene as Andrew held his sisters.
"Well, I guess that was a good first impression."
