[M4F] After being with his Pokémon for so long, a former Pokémon contest champion has to take a step back after realizing he has feelings for her! Are they reciprocated?

Familiar sights and sounds reached his ears as the sun beamed down onto his face. Warmth radiating onto him as his neck craned down again towards the park. He must’ve dozed off, he had a bit of soreness since he was propped against the bench but, it soon faded away. A certain feeling of fulfillment and joy filled him instead as he saw trainers with their Pokemon in the distance. Playing, training for battles or beauty contests, or just relaxing the day away. His joy turned into guilt however. He was here alone. He left his own Pokemon at home.

He and his Pokémon had once ruled the top categories all across modern Pokémon contests. They were more than just rising stars on a hot streak. Having a stronghold over judges, dozens of fans, and countless awards. That of course was over a decade ago now. Enjoying a quiet retirement, they were now relaxing together. All those trials and tribulations and yet he was refusing to take her with him on a simple walk outside. Any other time, they’d make a whole day of it! It must’ve been extremely strange to her, but he couldn’t allow himself to stay with her longer. Not until these thoughts were gone. Still, it had been long enough, he had to get back before she’d begin to worry.

Noel stood outside the door to his meager house, dreading coming inside. His foot tapped anxiously against the concrete as he mulled over endless just about how to walk into the damned place. She probably knew at this point that he was at the front door, but that thought alone wasn’t enough to make him enter. No, another thought was preventing him from doing just that.

Lately, since last week, he’s been having strange desires and thoughts about his pokemon. His partner had done nothing out of the ordinary and yet he was lusting after her. Or at least, he didn’t think she was doing anything. The move Attract didn’t work on humans, right? Regardless, he’s been thinking all week about getting her onto the bed and just-

“I’m home!” He cried out as he finally opened the door. He had hoped that a walk would clear his fuzzy head. It seemed to do the trick, mostly. He was just worried since these thoughts seem to increase whenever he’s in her presence, sometimes to the point where he had to physically leave the house. He couldn’t break the sacred rule with his own precious pokemon, could he? No! He shouldn’t. He couldn’t! He had to stuff these thoughts deep down, before she could pick up on these emotions and see something was wrong. Or maybe…her emotions were affecting him…? Was he just reacting to her feelings…? No, she couldn’t possibly…

Send a response! Also, whatever Pokemon you’re being! Can be any, I don’t mind.

Or, if you’re in the mood to chat, we can! I’d love to hear how you’d play your Pokémon. What’s she like? What does she think about his behavior? How did they meet? How will she respond?

We can chat kinks, or you can send me some of yours to highlight! I like plenty of things.
