Author's Note: For the song talked about from paragraphs 7-11, it was written with Eir Aoi's Kuroiuta in mind: youtu dot be/nFyK-ajIAWU

"Are you ready Min'ne? I've already checked with the stage crew, and we have permission for you to go out by yourself from stage left while I come out from stage right a few seconds later." A young man with dusty blonde hair and lilac eyes in a dark tuxedo asked a Gardevoir who was shaking a little. He reached down and gently squeezed her hand, getting her attention, Min'ne's ruby eyes shaking as her nerves were getting the best of her. "You'll do great, you're a natural dancer Min'ne. You still remember the codes and cues for your moves, right?" She nodded slowly as she took a deep breath to relax.

"Next up is Stephany with her Luxray, Lumin" An announcer called over the P.A. system for the Contest Hall.

"Looks like we've only got a few minutes before we go on, mind if I do your hair now?" Min'ne nodded and handed her trainer her hair brush, and she started to squirm a little as he started to run the brush through her hair. Min'ne had let her hair grow out at her trainer's request and it was now to her upper back . She enjoyed when he'd brush her hair, but still wasn't use to having it tied up. "I know you don't like doing your hair up Min'ne but it will be only for the performance then you can even go back to having it short if you want." The Gardevoir started shaking her head at comment. She preferred her hair long after getting used to it, and if she went back to having to keeping it short, that would result in less time with just the two of them.

He chuckled a little after she stopped, then quickly and carefully put her hair into a loose bun. "Any discomfort with it this time?" He asked her only getting a very subtle shake of her head. She knew if she moved too much it would come undone. He tightened it slightly, getting her to wince a little, turning to pout towards him. "What? That was just so you'd be able to walk with it." Min'ne just sighed slightly, knowing he was right. "Just two more things then we'll be done." He then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small jewelry box containing a black choker with a red and green Mega Stone. He gently put it on for her, resting the gem between her collarbone. She got up and turned towards him, "You look beautiful Min'ne." They both started to blush slightly at the comment, but were interrupted by a knock on their door.

"Thomas, Min'ne you've got one minute." A stage hand called as the both walked towards the door to head out on stage.

"Time for the finishing touch. Mega Evolve." Thomas placed his index and middle finger on a cufflink, then the Gardevoirite on Min'ne's choker started to glow, enveloping her in light. As the light faded, her dress had become reminiscent a black sleeveless evening gown with arm length gloves, her front crest, which was smaller than most Gardevoir, not protruding as much, has split down the middle and was covering her chest. The choker stayed in place, revealing a recessed emerald where the Mega Stone sat. Finally her eye and hair color were now swapped, Min'ne's eyes were now an emerald green while her hair was a deep scarlet, and it was now noticeably more wavy. "Let's go, partner." Thomas smiled as they went to their respective sides of the Performance stage.

"Now for our next contestant, Thomas and his Gardevoir, Min'ne." The announcer called. Min'ne walked out on stage, and the audience almost immediately went silent. She casually looked around, showing off her form as a piano started playing over the speakers, then Thomas walked out from the other side of the stage over towards Min'ne.

Thomas offered Min'ne his hand, "May I have this dance?" Min'ne took his hand and the two walked over towards a series of horizontal Light Screen panels, raising them above the stage. Once at the top Thomas rested his free hand on her waist while Min'ne rested hers on his shoulder.

As the vocals started a pink mist started emanating from Min'ne's feet, lightly cracking the Light Screen, with more Misty Terrain being made with each step. The percussion joined in and the mist was now spilling over the side of the platform, the cracks becoming more pronounced, and the mist was starting to raise around the two of them. More mist was pouring off the platform, now causing pieces of the Light Screen to break off, shattering into dust in mid-air. The Light Screen was now collapsing rapidly. Once the surface they were standing on had disappeared, an acoustic guitar and violin had started playing and picked up the song's tempo.

"There's no one here but us. Just you and me, Min'ne." Thomas thought, knowing Min'ne would hear it. She was now using Psychic on the soles of his shoes, keeping Thomas in the air with her, while she was levitating. Thomas then twirled her around, both keeping up with the rhythm of the music, Min'ne's bun had come undone, while sending the mist that was around them away. After pulling her back towards him, her hair was now over her shoulder, getting some whispering from the audience and a slight smile from Thomas.

The song was starting to slow back down, the remnants of the Light Screen and mist now circling around them, reminiscent of a galaxy. Once the music was down to just the piano again Min'ne lowered them to the stage, they bowed and the display was blown away in all directions.

The announcer walked over while the judges were discussing the performance. "While we wait for the judges, I've got to say, its rare seeing a trainer with that much trust in their Pokemon during a contest, do you care to let us in on it Thomas." He said holding a mic towards Thomas.

"Well, my family has this odd tradition, whenever the trainer's family is about to have a child, their Gardevoir or Gallade will also have one and the two are supposed to be raised together. Although for our generation, I'm the older of us by a couple hours." He smirked towards Min'ne, causing her to cross her arms and pout. "Much to Min'ne's disdain."

"And what about her appearance, she clearly isn't a normal Gardevoir." The announcer asked, trying to be professional but clearly insisting.

"That is a personal secret." He answered flatly.

"Alright, we've come to our decision." One of the judges called before the announcer could pry more. "Now, typical rules are for a point deduction of half a point per judge for outside assistance with performances, which you agreed to, correct Thomas?" Thomas just nodded. "Well, while total score can't exceed 40, we each can score over 10 individually. Meaning..." Electronic panels in front of the judges table started lighting up, revealing a 10.5, 10.4, 10.1 and 10.7, totaling a 39.7 after the deduction. "Such a rare occurrence of a coordinator training themselves for a performance along with their Pokemon should be awarded properly." The judge smiled as Thomas and Min'ne both bowed again and walked back stage.

Just as they were out of sight of the audience Thomas felt a sensation press against his cheek. He looked over towards Min'ne who was a couple feet behind him, sheepishly looking at the ground. "Well a promise is a promise, you can do what you want for getting the judges to score that high."

"So I can do more than just psychic kisses now?" Min'ne asked telepathically, looking up at Thomas, her eyes almost sparkling at the thought.

Thomas smiled and nodded, "Just one rule, be cautious of the people around us." Min'ne then quickly caught up to Thomas and clung onto his arm, getting him to sigh, "Same as always. You never miss an opportunity when it comes to something you want."

"Well I've got to make up for lost time, Mister 'My childhood friend was a Ralts'." She grinned with a slight giggle.

They got back to their dressing room while they waited for the last couple contestants to finish, "What lost time? We're practically always together Miss 'I'm in love with my trainer'." Thomas retorted after the door was closed, before both of them started laughing.

Min'ne then gently pushed Thomas back into a nearby lounge chair. She sat in his lap with her back to him, her hair brush floating over from the vanity table. "Since we've got some time to kill... could you make sure there aren't any knots?" She asked as Thomas ran his fingers through her hair.

Not feeling anything, but knowing she liked having his undivided attention, Thomas started brushing Min'ne's hair again in near complete silence. A moment later, "Min'ne... do you want to continue this journey...?"

Min'ne immediately turned around and smacked him, "Why would you ask that! Didn't we start this journey to prove our parents' they were wrong about us?! My father, your mother. The black sheep of our families. If your grandparents didn't take us in, we'd probably still be in that house, getting abused on a regular basis." Her eyes starting to well over with tears, she rested her forehead against his, "I know you have minimal self-confidence, because growing up you were never 'good enough', but just think, those judges loved US, they made sure to comment on YOUR effort. They overlooked their own rules which you had agreed to, because of YOU. ...And then there's the other thing..." Thomas looked up at her, rubbing the cheek she smacked. "There's a girl in front of you who has fallen in love with you. If it counts for anything, you are more than 'good enough' in her eyes, and I doubt that will change." Min'ne gently pressed her lips against his. It was the first time they had actually kissed. It didn't last long, wanting it to be a sweet, sentimental moment, she pulled away, and saw Thomas' face was bright red. "I know these thoughts are going to keep happening, but just remember today when they come up, okay?" She then pulled him into a tight hug, with a faint reassuring smile.

A couple tears managed to get away from Thomas after Min'ne's speech, "I'm sorry you have to deal with this Min'ne, I wish those thoughts never happened. I'm sick of having them, you shouldn't have to listen to them, no one should, but they regularly tell me that you deserve a better trainer, a more confident trainer. But thank you for everything, I don't know what I did to deserve having someone like you in my life." Thomas loosened Min'ne's hug and gently reciprocated her kiss.

"Well, I doubt such a trainer would be alright with their Pokemon being in love with someone else, so I'm afraid you're stuck with me." Min'ne then turned back around trying to hide the fact that she was now bright pink. "If you still have any hair ties, I might be up for a loose ponytail..."

Thomas then cracked a smile and got a hair tie out of his backpack right away. "My Gardevoir asking for her hair to be done? I never thought I'd see the day." He then got back to brushing her hair, both smiling to themselves over the little heart-to-heart the two just had.

"Can all contestants please return to the performance stage for the award ceremony." The announcer called just as Thomas finished Min'ne's ponytail.

As they walked back out Min'ne had taken Thomas' arm and they saw all the other contestants. There were ten participants total, seven women and three men, in varying levels of dress for the contest. The women's dresses looked like they were rentals, while the other two men's tuxedos appeared to be hand-me-downs. As Thomas and Min'ne lined up with the rest, more whispering could be heard from the audience.

"Alright, let's get started, shall we?" The judge who spoke to Thomas during his round asked as he motioned towards some intricate ribbons in a display case. "In third place with a score of 35.8, Stephany and Lumin. In second place with a score of 38.2, Kristy and Snowflake. And in first place with a score of 39.7, Thomas and Min'ne. Congratulations to our winners and thank you to all our contestants." He then walked over to the winners and handed each of them their ribbons personally, when he handed Thomas his ribbon he quietly asked, "I'd like to talk with you two after we're all done, would you mind staying after everything is finished?"

Thomas, surprised at the request replied, "Not at all." He bowed with the other 2 winners and then went back to their dressing room.

As they neared their door Min'ne squeezed his arm tighter and tighter. Once back inside she hugged him tightly, "We won?! We actually won! And it was thanks to your hard work!" She then started kissing Thomas' repeatedly in excitement.

Thomas gently pushed her away, but was still feeling the sensation, "Do you realize what you were just doing Min'ne, or were you just caught up in the moment?" He asked as he smiled down to her.

She nodded, "A bit of both... I might have gone overboard." Min'ne then looked down at the floor. "Did you mind?" She shyly looked up at him.

"No, I didn't," Thomas started to blush again, "but we're going to have a visitor any moment." Min'ne smiled a little at the answer. "Remember, we both need to keep our composure while around people, okay?"

There was then a knock on the door, and Thomas let in the judge. "Thanks for agreeing to see me. I'll just get straight to the point, you two have been together since you were born, correct?" He asked, getting an uneasy nod from both Thomas and Min'ne, "Now Thomas, by chance, around ten years ago, was she the Raltz crying in a little boy's arms while he tried to shield her from a Gallade in the middle of the street in Ecruteak City?"

Thomas and Min'ne were nearly frozen in shock, "Sir... how do you know about that day?" Min'ne clung onto Thomas in as the memory of that day came back to them.

The judge then held up a small badge resembling a ghost. "I'm a former gym leader from Ecruteak, Morty, and was one of the trainers that stepped in after you were unconscious."

"Thomas get out here! We're heading to the store." A woman hollered down the hallway.

A boy then half-heartedly came out of a room at the end of the hallway with a thick long sleeve shirt on. He looked up at his mother after looking around for a second, "Where's Ralts?"

"In its Pokeball. Go get it." She answered, turning her back to her son, while a Gallade glared at him.

Thomas went to get the Pokeball and called out a Ralts that hugged her friend as tightly as she could. "You're not mad with me? I haven't seen you in days..." He whispered, then heard a slight stomach growl.

"Hungry. No food." Thomas was still getting use to Ralts' telepathy. All he could do was shake his head in response.

"Thomas! We're leaving!" His mother hollered again as the front door slammed open, he then ran for the door while carrying Ralts. "Stop carrying that thing, it can walk."

"I want to carry her though, I've missed her." Thomas gently hugged Ralts, barely noticing Gallade scowling at them. "Why do they hate me...?" He thought to himself as they walked down the street.

Ralts did her best to look up at Thomas, "You no fight. Me weak. They blame you." She then cuddled his arms. "Me no want hurt others." She then looked across the street towards a girl around their age playing with a Rockruff, "Lucky..."

They then got to the local market and the smell of all the produce made Ralts' stomach growl some more. "I'm sorry... I can't get you anything..." Thomas gently patted Ralts' head, wishing he could help his friend.

Doing the usual rounds, Thomas' mother got their weekly groceries and headed to the cashier. It was a newer girl Thomas had only seen there a couple times, but she was always cheerful when he saw her. As she scanned everything through, she felt Ralts' eyes on her, focusing on anything she touched. After everything was paid for and his mother was walking away, the cashier reached her hand out to Thomas, and whispered, "Your Ralts might like these." Giving him a small handful of blue-pink poffin. Thomas just bowed quietly and followed his mother, quickly stashing the poffin in his pocket.

As they exited the market, Thomas' mother stopped and turned towards him, "Throw them away." As she motion towards a trash can.

He shook his head and backed away, "She hasn't eaten in days! Why are you always so mean to her?"

"Because it's weak! By the time Gallade was its age, he was already a Kirlia!" A couple people nearby were starting to look over at them

"So if she doesn't win battles she goes hungry?" Thomas was backing farther away unconsciously but Gallade had grabbed them with Psychic and lifted them in the air.

"Gallade, take care of them already." His mother said while pinching the bridge of her nose.

Gallade started charging energy to is arm blade, dropping Thomas to the ground in the process. Thomas immediately huddled over Ralts as a Psycho Cut blade hit his back, tearing his shirt in the process.

A large shadowy orb then came flying towards Gallade and knocked it off balance. "Must be tough to only feel strong beating up your own family." A young man with blonde hair held back and wearing a loose light-blue and beige shirt ran over with a Dusknoir right beside him. "So you fail to even get to the Pokemon League, and then take out years of frustration on your only child? Do you not see the problem Linda?"

"The problem is my good for nothing son and his worthless Pokemon won't even fight." Linda started laughing a little. "All he wants to do is baby that waste of space."

Another couple of trainers put themselves between Gallade and Thomas, who was now unconscious on the ground. "The police have been notified and are on their way."

Linda and Gallade started to sweat at the comment. "Teleport us already!" Gallade then started to glow, but then the effect shattered, they were in the same location. "Why isn't it working?!"

Dusknoir then growled, its single eye glowed as it glared at them. Its Mean Look preventing any escape. "Your son and his Pokemon might be 'weak', but he's got more courage than you do."

The sound of sirens became apparent as a patrol car pulled onto the street. "Morty, what the hell is going on here?" One of the officers asked the young man as they got out. The second officer ran over to Thomas to check on him, and noticed various bruises on his back through the cut in his shirt.

Morty explained the situation, which got passersby glaring at Linda. "Ma'am, you're under arrest. You're charged with child abuse and neglect of a Pokemon in your care" The second officer stated while putting Linda in handcuffs.

As the officers drove away, an ambulance came for Thomas and took him to the nearest hospital, over in Goldenrod City. Ralts refused to leave his side while the paramedics and nurses checked on him. After a couple hours he came too, immediately hearing Ralts crying while in a seat next to his hospital bed. "Ralts... what happened? All I remember is pain from Gallade's attack."

Ralts immediately looked up at Thomas, he could see tears still rolling down her cheeks. "Taken to hospital. Mother with the police, said she was 'under arrest'." She jumped onto the bed and hugged her friend tightly.

There was a knock on the door as a nurse walked in, "Thomas, you've got a couple guests." She waved in Thomas' grandfather and his Gallade, both sitting opposite of Ralts.

"Thomas, about your mother..." His grandfather started.

"I know, she's been arrested... Ralts just told me after I woke up." Thomas interrupted, gently patting Ralts' head, who smiled slightly.

"Your Ralts... 'told' you? Telepathically?" Thomas' grandfather asked, getting a surprised expression from his Gallade and a nod from Thomas. "Thomas, no Ralts in our family has ever been able to use telepathy. Not your mother's, not mine, not my father's."

"Well it's true. She's been able to for a few months now." Thomas told his grandfather, almost sternly, who looked down at the Ralts nodding.

His grandfather cleared his throat slightly, "Well, back to the matters at hand, you'll be living with your grandmother and I after you're out of the hospital, alright? She's already getting your clothes and other personal items from the house. Is there anything you can think of for her to get?"

Thomas thought for a moment, then Ralts tugged on his sleeve, "Just two things, Ralts' Pokeball, so we can release her from mom and get her a new one. And some food for her. She hasn't eaten in days..."

His grandfather then smiled a little, and pulled out a small box. "I was going to wait until your birthday, but now might be a better time to give you this." He opened it, revealing a red Pokeball with a concave black stripe around its edge. "This is a Cherish Ball. It's only for special Pokemon, and the bond you have with Ralts is very special."

Min'ne let out a satisfied sigh, "It was nice of Morty to take us out for dinner, we'll have to remember that restaurant if we come back here."

"Especially since it served Pokemon without question. I think our server was more surprised you knew how to use cutlery." Thomas said thinking back to their server's expression. "By the way, what were you and his Dusknoir talking about? You two seemed to be having quite the conversation." He inquired, as they entered a local hotel.

"We were just trading stories, talking about the places we've been, other Pokemon we met. I mentioned that Machoke that kept trying to flirt with every female Pokemon at the Trainer School in Alola." She giggled a little remembering the incident.

Thomas joined her quietly, not wanting to bother the people waiting in the lobby. "And they all either pretended that a male in their party was their mates, or got clingy to their trainers. Poor guy didn't get the message."

The receptionist waved them to the front desk. "How can we help you today sir?" She leaned over the desk, seemingly missing a couple buttons on her blouse.

"Are there any single rooms available?" Thomas asked, internally rolling his eyes at her display. He could feel Min'ne wanting to glare at them while clinging to his arm, while he talked to the receptionist.

"Jess, are housekeeping done with any of the singles yet?" She turned to another girl who had just walked back to the front desk, her blouse also fairly open.

Looking through a series of keycards, the girl pulled one out and handed it to Thomas. "Room 213 is all done. Take the right corridor on the second floor and it's the second room on the left." She then winked before Thomas and Min'ne left for the hotel room.

"I saw you ogling those girls back there at the front desk, Thomas." Min'ne said as she closed the door to their hotel room, almost complaining.

"You say ogling, I say judging. They're working yet they had their blouses open quite a bit. Honestly that's unprofessional and I'm surprised management hasn't said something to them yet." Thomas explained as he set down his bag while he dug out a couple collapsable bowls, along with some pre-made Pokemon food and some berries. "Besides you can read my mind. You know how I feel." He took a couple Pokeballs out of his coat pocket and called out a Zorua and a Rowlet. The Zorua glanced over at Min'ne, doing her usual snickering, while the Rowlet hopped over to Thomas, tilting his head while looking at his trainer. "Alright you two, dinner time." Setting the bowls down for them and putting in a few Bluk Berries each.

"You're right, but can't you at least let me act jealous?" Min'ne had taken a seat at the edge of the bed watching the younger Pokemon eat.

Thomas chuckled at her question, "Because I was looking at another girl? They should have been jealous of you, Min'ne, you get to spend as much time as you want with the person you love. I kinda doubt either of them had someone like that." He sat down next to her before falling back onto the mattress.

"Ru, Zorua-Zo" Zorua started chatting with Rowlet, who chirped every so often in response, while Min'ne joined in verbally, laughing at something they were talking about.

Thomas looked up at Min'ne, the soft light of a bedside lamp silhouetting her, "I don't know where I'd be without you..." She then got up, and picked up Zorua, taking her to the bathroom. "Sounds like she was scolding Zorua, must have made a mess of her food again." There was then a light knocking by the edge of the room. Thomas leaned up to see Rowlet trying to open the cabinets, "Are you looking for a place to sleep tonight buddy?" The Rowlet turned around, cooing slightly. "Well, my bag is always available, just need to make some space."

As Min'ne and Zorua came out of the bathroom, Zorua managed to squirm out Min'ne's hands and jump down to the floor. "No more Bluk berries for her." Zorua then growled at her slightly, while Min'ne stuck her tongue out, taunting the fox kit.

Thomas turned and picked Zorua up by the scruff of her neck, "If you two don't play nice," he turned towards Min'ne, "you'll both be getting Spelon berries tomorrow." Min'ne flinched at the threat while Zorua tilted her head in confusion.

"Voir, de voir." Min'ne said looking at the confused fox, whose expression switched to grimace instantly.

"Understood?" He put Zorua back down, and she nodded right away. "Good. Now I'm going to quickly make Rowlet's roost for the night, then I'm going to bed." Thomas emptied out his bag of most of its bulky items, leaving a change of socks at the bottom, which Rowlet perched on, while Thomas stuffed a couple sets of clothes on either side, packing in the owl.

Afterwards Thomas quickly crawled into bed, not paying his clothes much mind before falling asleep. Min'ne then sighed slightly and smiled to herself as she closed up the room for the night and joined Thomas in bed, with Zorua curled up between them at the footboard. "I'll see you soon, my knight." She softly held his hand as she started to fall asleep as well.

A couple light rays came shining down, bothering Thomas enough to get his attention, waking him up. He found himself at the edge of a forest, overlooking an untouched valley under cloudy sky, rays of light barely coming through the cracks. "I guess Min'ne wanted to share another lucid dream tonight." He looked around for his Gardevoir, not seeing her anywhere before going into the forest. He quickly came across a natural clearing with a cabin, and a few jagged, burnt tree trunks dotted around it.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, "Its open, you can come in." Thomas walked inside to a small living room with just one chair, and an ottoman by a lit fireplace. Just as he sat down, a side door opened and Min'ne walked in wearing a loose mint-green button-front sundress, her crest slipping through a couple open buttons, with no signs of her usual dress. "So... How do I look?" She asked bashfully, her fingers fidgeting behind her back.

Awestruck, Thomas was at a loss for words. He hardly ever thought of Min'ne wearing anything other than her usual dress and her Mega Evolution's evening gown. "You look incredible. We need to stop by a tailor and get this made for you."

Both relieved and excited by the comment Min'ne walked over to Thomas' chair and made herself comfortable on his lap, hugging the young man who was starting to get flustered by the situation. "Want to see where this goes tonight?" She kissed his cheek, getting Thomas more flustered. "Can I take that as a yes?"

Unconsciously taking a deep breath to try and calm down, Thomas accidentally caught Min'ne's scent, causing him to instinctively start kissing the Gardevoir's neck, earning him a sharp gasp. "That was. A cheap. Trick." He managed to say between kissing her.

He reached around her back, at first gently rubbing Min'ne's back crest. She moaned quietly in his ear, triggering the young man. He started stimulating the crest more aggressively. She then felt a slight twitching against her nether regions from Thomas'. "Hey, that is for lovers only." Min'ne teased, trying to keep her composure for a moment.

Annoyed by this, Thomas stopped and looked up at Min'ne, "We've known each other since we were infants, and have been basically inseparable since we were children. You're my best friend. Probably my only true friend. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't with me. So of course I love you. I've been in love with you for years. I've most likely been in love with you for a long time before I realized."

With tears of joy in her eyes Min'ne smiled down at him. "It took you long enough to say those words. I've been waiting all these years for you to openly confess your feelings." As a soft blush became apparent, she leaned in, kissing Thomas passionately. He wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped hers around his neck, fully enjoying each other's warmth. A moment passed then Min'ne broke their kiss, "I think this'll be getting in the way, don't you?" She purred, gently tugging on a strap to her sundress. Thomas gently nodded, trying his best to not appear too excited. Each button then slowly undid itself. Once it opened down to her hips Min'ne slid the straps off her shoulders, letting the dress fall into his lap as she unveiled her self.

Realizing he was even further speechless than when he first saw the sundress, his eyes were all over her, taking in everything. Her pristine white skin as flawless as fresh snow, her breasts subtly complementing the rest of her figure and just ample enough to fill his hands, topped with gentle pink nipples which were giving away her excitement. To add to the image, Min'ne now had her hair resting over her shoulders, just long enough to reach her chest. "You're..." He started before trailing off.

"Everything you've dreamed of?" She giggled a little at her pun, getting a slight smile Thomas as he was still taking in every subtle movement.

"Those dreams weren't even close." He answered, looking back up into her eyes. "You're gorgeous... I don't feel allowed to touch you now..."

Min'ne shook her head as she gently held Thomas' wrist, guiding his hand to her chest. He felt her heartbeat racing. "I'm like this because of you." She leaned in and purred in his ear, "You're the only one allowed to touch me like this." Sliding his hand down to her breast, Min'ne let out a soft moan. Narrowing her hold down to Thomas' index finger, she traced it around her nipple. "Do you know what I want you to do right now?"

Every breath, every sound, every word that passed Min'ne's lips gave Thomas goosebumps. He didn't care if it was because of her psychic influence on their dream, or his own subconscious desires, he needed more of it. "I might have an idea." He leaned forward, and quickly pecked her front crest, taking a glance to see Min'ne slightly pouting. Before she could speak, he kissed her nipple gently, earning himself another soft moan. "Something like that?"

She placed her hand on the back of the young man's head, "I've seen your dreams, keep going." With her permission given Thomas latched onto her nipple, sucking gently on it. Trying to hold back her moans, Min'ne smiled down at him. Thomas always treated her with respect, as an equal, and each time he did, the more she loved him.

Taking full advantage of the opportunity he was given, Thomas reached around to her back crest, rubbing it gently again. He looked over to her front crest, just able to to see her other breast passed it, and rested his free hand on it, rolling her other nipple between his index finger and thumb. Min'ne started moaning as he continued, slowly grinding her hips against him. Thomas then scratched down her crest while pinching the nipple between his fingers and gently biting the nipple between his lips.

The Gardevoir quickly tried to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming in pleasure. Thomas had pulled away with a small smile of accomplishment that Min'ne very rarely saw, she then felt the sensation of a small damp spot between her legs. She quickly hid her face in his shoulder, trying to hide her embarrassment. Min'ne knew her back crest was sensitive, but she didn't think it'd help push her over the edge.

"Was that a bit too much for you, Min'ne?" Thomas asked gently, blushing slightly as he tried to ignore the damp spot on his lap. He got the result he hoped for, but he wasn't expecting her to show any embarrassment, given how bold she had been acting. Thomas held Min'ne by her shoulders and pulled her away from his shoulder, her face was still a deep red. "What are you so embarrassed about?" He asked, well aware of the reason at this point, but felt she needed to get it off her chest to calm down.

Refusing to look at Thomas directly, Min'ne looked towards the corner of the room. "I just came all over you, while only getting stimulated by my breasts and crest." Saying it out loud just got her face even more flushed.

Resting his hand on her cheek, Thomas managed to get Min'ne to turn back towards him. "So?" He kissed her gently. "Those human girls you wanted to be jealous of early, I bet they'd never be able to pull that off, or other Gardevoir while we're at it. Besides, that's just one more thing that makes you special."

Min'ne started to calm down thanks to Thomas' comment, and readjusted herself to lay back against him, the sundress now falling onto the floor. "Ignoring that little trip down memory lane at the contest hall, today was nice." She then levitated a fleece blanket over from across the room, and draped it over them, while Thomas wrapped his arms around her and gently rubbed her thighs. "Hands where I can see them mister." She lightly smiled before kissing his cheek.

"Says the girl sitting naked in my lap." Thomas chuckled while abiding Min'ne's request, and pulled the blanket tighter around them. "Nothing topped our dance though. You were stunning."

"You and you're compliments today." She pressed up against him as they started to cuddle. "You weren't too bad either. That tuxedo really did compliment my Mega dress. You need to thank your grandfather again for it. And let your grandmother know we got our first first place ribbon."

"Yes dear." Thomas chuckled. "I was planning on it. Is there anything you want to tell them?" He started running his fingers through her hair unconsciously.

"Well, a couple things but you'd never repeat them..." Looking down she weakly smiled to herself, "Do you think they'll be supportive of 'us'?"

Thomas was a little surprised that Min'ne wanted to tell his grandparents that they were lovers so soon. "Well... I'm not sure about Grandma, but Grandpa should at least be understanding. What about your grandfather? Do you think he'll accept me, instead of wanting his precious granddaughter meet some regal Gallade somewhere to sire him a great-grandchild?"

Min'ne lightly hit Thomas' shoulder at his joke. "Grandfather will act furious, but you know he sees you as his own." She rested her hand on his.

Thomas gently squeezed her hand, "It's one thing to raise a child as your own, and another to give them your daughter."

"And what if this daughter you speak of already gave herself to this person without her father figure's blessing?" Min'ne looked up at him with a coy smile, as she swung her leg across Thomas' lap, straddling the young man, the blanket resting over her back.

"Then the father figure would most likely be fairly agitated at them." He kissed the Gardevoir lovingly, "But she'd probably step in-between them and protect her lover, her mate..." Thomas felt her squeeze his hand a bit tighter at the last few words.

"Her knight." The pink coming back to her cheeks a little. "Sometimes a lady has to intervene, and protect the one whose been protecting her." She tugged at his shirt momentarily before it appeared behind her and fell to the floor. Thomas wasn't very built, but all the hiking and foraging had kept him in shape.

Min'ne pressed her breasts against him as best she could. Her crests might have been smaller than normal, but they were still in the way whenever they'd hug. "I don't think mating in a dream counts." Thomas whispered, trying to keep a level head in the situation.

She slid her hand down to his waist, starting to undo his jeans, she could feel his member straining against them. "I don't really care. I want you Thomas, and from the looks of things you want me." Min'ne slowly undid the zipper, trying to rile Thomas up some more, before teleporting the rest of his clothes behind her. Slowly wrapping her fingers around him, it was her first time touching a male's sex. She had seen them plenty of times when other Pokemon would try to court her, and a few human ones in Thomas' memory after he'd relieve himself. It wasn't much compared to what she'd seen, but it was his and that was all she cared about.

As Min'ne positioned herself over him, Thomas felt couple drops of her juices. She was more than ready. Starting to lower herself down the two looked into each other's eyes, before realizing the cabin was shaking and a loud roar of thunder could be heard. Thomas growled to himself, "I hope that's not Zorua or Rowlet trying to wake us up."

"I guess we'll try another time..." The Gardevoir pouted as she got off the young man. Their vision then receded until they both saw nothing.
