Red likes the autumn. They spend it collecting fruits and nuts to store from the winter, and Lance hunts heavily, killing the fat little rabbits and squirrels, already plump from winter preparations, so they will have enough meat.

Red wishes he could hunt too, but he doesn’t have enough Shinies to summon with, and besides, Lance has sharp claws and teeth and he doesn’t, not really, but does he mind? No.

He has one shiny, but he will grow older and get more, and so he only has one pocket monster. Lance has more than he does, but what of it? Lance is supposed to protect him after all.

Their parents died two winters ago. Now, Lance pets him and feeds him and mates him at night. His red-and-white pelts have grown in, so he is old enough, though his black hand-pelts have not.

They run through the falling leaves, chasing the squirrel, and Lance moves fast – his claws outstretched, and the squirrel falls down dead.

They bring it back to the den and share with their pocket monsters, and smile. And they are all happy.

And in the late afternoon, he and Lance roll in the fallen leaves and chase each other, and Lance pins him to the ground and licks his face.

And he whimpers, and then Lance mates him, and…

Isn’t autumn the best time of the year?

More Zoofic! ^^

… Yeah. Lots of implied sex!

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.
