Thanks to Lucariolover95 for geving me some tips of the trade, and thanks to my editor Ninjadude23 for your amazing work

Disclaimer:Some of the pokemon in this series may not be in the Sinnoh Pokedex. Some of the Trainers from the game/pokedex have different pokemon here. I have no affiliation with Nintendo or Gamefreak. I apologize if I use any ideas from any other story. If I had read the story(s) I would have asked to reference or borrow the Idea.


"Hey it's getting late. Why don't we camp out tonight? You have a tent right?" Seth said

I cursed, as I realized I didn't. "Shit... I only have a sleeping bag!"

Seth got out of his tent. "No worries. If you help me set it up, you can sleep in it. It fits 4. the two of us and our pokèmon."

Was I imagining it, or did Seth seem excited about the idea? "Ok, sounds good." I said. After we set up the tent, I gathered firewood "Hey Growlithe, can you use Flamethrower to make us a fire please?" Growlithe obliged. Soon they all had finished eating and it was time for bed. Seth put out the fire and went into the tent. I followed, Jolteon and Growlithe behind me. "Lie down next to me, Growlithe. I would like to cuddle," I said. Growlithe was about to lie down next to Jolteon in the corner of the tent, but instead padded over and laid down next to me. I pulled him closer and drifted off to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I wasn't just cuddling with my pokèmon, but Seth had an arm draped around my stomach. I started to get out from under his arm when, feeling me stir, Seth also woke up. He noticed his arm around me and the shocked expression on my face. He said,

"Oh sorry... I come from a large family with little money, so I have to share a bed with my brother. I guess it was just subconscious."

Seth got up and his Jolteon followed. "I'll make breakfast Ok Xander?"

I nodded, not wanting to wake Growlithe. It felt good having having Growlithe next to me, his warm body pressed against my own. It was also comforting to be so near to Seth. 'Am I gay?' I wondered. At school there were pretty girls, but I never felt attracted to any of them. I suddenly felt a tightness around my legs. In fact, I couldn't feel my legs at all! "Growlithe! Hey Growlithe, wake up!" I whispered. The Puppy pokèmon woke up. "_Go get Seth for me!" _ A few seconds later, Seth and Growlithe came back.

"What's the matter Xander? Woah, that's a Seviper's Tail Blade!"

I began to panic. "Growlithe, use bite! Get it off me!" Growlithe bit the wild Seviper. The Seviper hissed in annoyance. It unravelled itself from me and slithered towards Growlithe, its tail starting to glow purple.

"Careful Xander, that's Poison Tail!" Seth warned. "Growlithe, use Flamethrower! Just don't burn me!" Growlithe aimed his Flamethrower at the Seviper's head, scoring a direct hit. I then grabbed a pokèball from my bag and threw it at Seviper. The ball touched Seviper and he was put inside the ball. The ball twitched 3 times and then Seviper was caught!

"Hey, nice catch! But we really should get going." Seth said.

By the time Seth and I got to Jubilife City, it was lunch.

"Let's go to the Pokèmon Center. We can heal our pokèmon and get some lunch." Seth said.

"I'll meet you there. I need to go to get some supplies at the Pokèmart." I said.

Seth turned away, saying, "Alright sounds good!"

When I got to the shop, I saw saw a sign on the door, stating, 'ALL POKEMON MUST BE IN A BALL AT ALL TIMES IN THIS SHOP.' It then goes on to explain why. Apparently there was a problem with a Riolu. At the end of the fiasco, the store was a wreck. [(Sorry LucarioLover95, I had to put that in ^_^ )] "Sorry Pup." and returned Growlithe to his ball. I went inside and looked around. There were potions, pokèchow, healing items for all sorts of status issues, pokèballs, the usual stuff. But then I saw it, an earpiece that allows you to communicate with pokèmon. "How much is this pokèmon translator?" I asked excitedly. The cashier looks up from organizing the shelves "it's PokémonDollar.png1500. However, buy 2 and get one free!" he responded. I thought this over. I didn't need 3, but i needed one and I'm sure Seth would want one as well. "It's a deal!" I forked over the money and had just enough for some Pokéchow, a burn heal and an antidote. I paid the cashier and put in the earpiece. I hurried outside. "Growlithe, Seviper, come on out!" a flash of light and my Pokémon were out. "Hey! I was having a nice nap in there!" I rubbed my ear, making sure the translator was in properly. "What is it like it there, the Pokéball I mean?" Seviper thought for a moment as if trying to think of the best description. "Well, it isn't cramped like most people think... It is actually very spacious [(similar to the inside of a Manacle aka Manacle Space, In Spider Riders, if you guys can remember that show ^_^ )] ... wait you can understand me?" Growlithe looks at me in wonder. "What is that on his ear?" Growlithe says to himself. "Well Pup, it is a Pokémon Translator... It allows me to understand what you guys are saying."

(Growlithe's POV)

"So you can understand us now?" I asked "Damn, I'll have to be careful what I say around you!" I instantly blushed, but luckily, Xander took it as a joke "I heard that! What, did you used to say things about me behind my back?" That made me blush even harder.. "NO! Of course not!" to make sure I didn't change the subject. However, I soon changed the subject, as I said, "Come on, let's go find Seth!" Xander took the bait and forgot about what I had said before. 'I don't get it! Ever since I slept with Xander, I've been getting sexual images of the 2 of us together. Shit, I like Xander! I want to tell him but what if he doesn't like me back?' I thought in my head. Then, without realizing it, I said "Damn, he is SO cute!"

(Seviper's POV)

I just heard Growlithe say "Damn he is SO cute." and I highly doubt he was talking about me. He's been googly-eyeing Xander ever since he was let out of his ball just now. 'Maybe, if I play this right, I can work it to my advantage.'

(Xander's POV)

Not much happened the rest of the day. I gave Seth the second Translator, tested them out, went to the Pokétch Company and got our own watches. We talked to people, and explored the city. Now, we were at the Pokémon Center, in the viewing room of the Jungle Gym for Pokémon. "So how did you get your Eevee to evolve into a Jolteon?" I asked Seth, while watching Seviper weave through a bunch of poles.

"Well actually, I used a Thunder Stone... you see with some Pokémon,, they evolve using a stone or relic. Your Growlithe for example, will evolve when it comes in contact with a Fire Stone." Seth replied, watching Growlithe practise Flamethrower on moving projectiles.

"Huh, I guess I'll have to find one then." I pause for a moment, watching Jolteon play tag with another trainer's Marowak.

"Well, I'm going to bed, you coming Xander?" Seth says. I take one last look at Growlithe.

"Yeah, let's go."

***

When we get to our rooms, I go into mine; Seth follows me.

"So, have you and Growlithe done it yet?" he asks me. I take a step back, shocked.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I ask, flabbergasted.

"Oh please, I've seen the 2 of you together, cuddling and blushing constantly when the other isn't looking. To be honest, I'm a little jealous."

Again I was surprised. "So, you're gay?" Seth steps forward,and says, "I just happen to be, yes." He then leans in and starts kissing me.

(Growlithe's POV)

I watch Xander and Seth leave the viewing room. I walk over to Seviper and say "Hey, I'm heading in ok?" Seviper stopped hacking at the dummy he was using to practice Poison Tail.

"Ok good night." he said

"See you tomorrow," I say over my shoulder as I walk out the door, which was left ajar. As I got to the room, I stopped abruptly, not believing my eyes. I raced back to the gym.

"I thought you went to bed." Seviper said. Then, seeing my face, he asks, "What's wrong?" I pause, trying to comprehend what I just saw.

"I did. I walked in on Seth and Xander kissing." Seviper and I sit in awkward silence for a while.

"Well in a way this is good. You know he is gay now." Seviper was silent again "Hey, I know what you can do!" he said suddenly. "You could evolve! Then you'll weigh more than him, and you can pin him down. That way he can't do anything about it!" I considered the idea for a moment.

"No. I can't do that. Not to Xander. I think I'll sleep here tonight though."

(Xander's POV)

I broke off the kiss. "So," I said awkwardly, "That's why you were so excited at the idea of sleeping in the same tent." Seth laughed.

"Was I that obvious?" he asked as he headed for the exit.

"Yeah. That and waking up in your arms." I then mimicked Seth "I come from a large family with little money, so I have to share a bed with my brother. I guess it was just subconscious."

Seth laughed and said "It's true, I do come from a large family. Good night." He left for his room before I could respond. I got into my into my bed and for some reason, It

felt weird without my pup.

(Growlithe's POV)

At around 1:00 in the morning, the Seviper, Jolteon and the other pokémon were asleep. I was still awake, tossing and turning trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't. My mind was too busy going over what had happened. 'I thought he liked me' I thought to myself. Suddenly, the back door opened, and bluish yellowish fog came in. 'What the hell!' I thought. I watched in horror as people dressed in what looked like space suits walked in with a fog machine, along with 2 Gloom. 1 gloom was using Stun Spore while the other was using Sleep Powder. I was at the top of the Jungle gym, so I wasn't affected by the spiked fog yet. I couldn't say the same for Seviper, Jolteon, a Marill, a Charizard, as well as an Electabuzz, the Marowak Jolteon was playing with, and a Weedle, and many of the other pokémon. I started leaping from the tops of the equipment, not being careful about what I was doing.

"Get that Growlithe!" one of the spacemen said, obviously the leader. "Right" said 2 of the spacemen. While others started to grab pokémon, others went into the Pokémon Center to take the pokéballs from inside there. I ran until I reached Xander's room, where Xander was sleeping. 'God, he's so cute when he sleeps,' I thought to myself.

"Xander, hey Xander, wake up!" Xander wakes and turns to look at me.

"What's wrong Pup?" I take a deep breath, partially to tell him what happened, but also because I get shivers when he calls me 'Pup'. I look back and see that the spacemen are almost here. I quickly explain the situation to Xander, and he storms out into the hall. The commotion was loud enough to wake Seth. He comes out just as the men arrive.

"Well what do we have here?" one of the men say. The other fires a net concealed in a blaster-type looking canister. After I am trapped, he presses a button on the canister and Xander and Seth collapse. Then, for some reason, I collapse beside them. [(Growlithe doesn't realize the net was laced with Sleep Powder. To find out why Xander and Seth collapse, you'll have to keep reading!])

(THE END)
