            It was cold, and there was a blizzard blowing outside, but Red had filled his den with good things, fallen apples and pears, nuts and the occasional small rodent, and now he lay upon the soft floor covered with shed pelts, and purred. He was happy, because though his parents had died a the hands of a wild Yellow and he was left alone, his older brothers having long since left to find their own territory, the den was safe.

            But what Red really wanted was a mate, a Lance of his own, to protect him and cuddle him and mate him, and hunt for him, because it had been a long time since he tasted fresh meat, and fruits eaten alone always were bitter with loneliness.

            Red knew enough, though, to be content, and so he stayed in his warm den and listened to the blizzard howl. Presently though, there came a commotion outside, so loud that it all but drowned the storm’s calls, and so Red peeked his head out to take a quick peek. He found a Lance fighting a wild Yellow, and the Lance seemed to be losing, his faithful Dragonair partner faltering beneath the lightning of the Yellow’s Pikachu.

            The Yellow had a Pikachu?

            Then it was old, and had doubtless killed many other Champions before, Reds and Lances both. Red bared his teeth and charged outside with a howl.

            The Yellow turned to him, distracted, and at that moment the Lance made a swipe of his claws, slitting the Yellow open from chest to navel. It fell to the ground, howling, but did not rise again.

            “Thank you.” The Lance purred, voice hoarse, before he collapsed.

 

            Red was of course surprised, but he carefully dragged the Lance through the freshly fallen snow into his den, and he licked it’s wounds as best he could, and drizzled melting snow onto its muzzle to keep it hydrated.

            The Lance lapped weakly at the water, and Red eagerly accepted the kisses and caresses, though they were made in a fever dream. It took several days before the Lance woke, and could use blue power to heal itself.

 

            When the Lance was finished, he looked at Red curiously, cocking an ear.

            “You have no mate, little Red?”

            “No.” Red purred. “Will you be my mate?”

            Lance nodded.

            Red drew close to him then, and licked his throat, and felt himself rising in excitement, and the Lance carefully lavished him with loving pets as they shed their pelts and met, Red mewling as the Lance mated him. Afterwards, they feasted on nuts and berries stored earlier.

            Tomorrow, Lance told Red, he would hunt for them, and so he did, bringing back fresh rabbit, that he thoughtfully cut up into little pieces with his claws as Red licked blood from his paws and accepted small chunks.

            Yes, it was nice to have a mate…

            Lance held him close, and Red sighed dreamily, paws twitching as he slipped into blissful sleep.

YAY! ZOOFIC!

 

Some Zoofic Information I have complied (I created this!)

Lance and Red are members of a species called ‘Champions’ who only mate with each other. Their pokemon are summoned as they acquire ‘shinies’ (gym badges) and grow older. Their pelt patterns also change then. Young Reds wear a blue pelt (jeans) and black pelt (black T-shirt), and as he grows older he acquires black hand-pelts (his electric-proof gloves), a red-and-white head pelt (League cap) and red-and-white outer pelt (red-and-white jacket). Young Lances were a pure black pelt (black bodysuit), and as they grow older, acquire the red and black pelt (red-and-black bodysuit of anime! Lance). Then, if they get evil enough or fierce enough, they grow a pure black pelt with a red over-pelt and a black pelt over that (manga! Lance attire with red jacket and black cape).

Lances hate Yellows. They are both predators but attack each other. Yellows will kill both Reds and Lances, though if they kill a Red that already has a Pikachu, they will steal it.

Lance’s partner pokemon is Dratini who soon evolves into Dragonair. Red’s partner pokemon is Poliwag who soon evolves into Poliwhirl.

Red is the one who carries the babies, though some strange reproductive process (MPREG?) and Lance has sharp claws and teeth that he hunts with. He provides food for his mate.

Brothers will mate each other.

Manga! Lance has healing powers and can communicate telepathically with pokémon, so that stays.
