Chapter 16
Tabitha
Rodeo




The day after Tabitha and Neoral reached Ruby and Radiance’s home by the lake had been filled with the Deerling oddly recovering from her long journey, something that she didn’t think she would need to do. Tabitha and Neoral had been on the road for weeks the pair had explored all over Bangam Island and the surrounding area looking for any clues of Dynamo’s location. There had been some rumors that a blue horse had been roaming around the area around Bangam Lake but when Tabitha and Neoral explored it the trail had run cold. It hadn’t been until they ventured to a down on the road to Unity City did they find new rumors about Dynamo from a wandering Lucario. They had meet the Lucario in a Inn one cold night the dog told them he had seen Dynamo while heading east from Fablereach. He told them that Dynamo had been rumored to be living in the forest trying to recover from some great fight he had been in. The Lucario told them he had followed up on the rumor himself and spotted the colt but wasn’t able to catch him. 

“Why would you want to catch him?” Neoral had asked the wander. 

“There is a bounty on his head worth a lot of money, more than enough for this wander to retire from wandering.” The Lucario had laughed. 

“So why are you here and not there trying to catch him?” Tabitha had asked him, she had bought the dog a drink to help loosen his lips. 

“I lost track of him, he vanished one night shortly after I found him and haven’t seen him since.” 

“This is a waste of our time.” Tabitha remembered growling, she wasn’t one for wasting her time. But what the Lucario said next ended up causing the pair to come out west to hunt the colt down. 

“I saw him the night he “vanished.” The Lucario took a long swing of his drink, putting down nearly all of it in one gulp. With a wipe of his paw he finished the rest of his story. “He was with a red ring Umbreon, and together they walked off somewhere that too this day I still can’t find.” 

“Red ring Umbreon.” Neoral gasped. 

“There is only one red ring Umbreon I know of…” Tabitha’s eyes flashed. “Let’s go Neoral.” 



Now Tabitha was walking through Fablereach Forest, the Deerling shivered as she jumped over a large snow dune. She had been searching the forest all morning, her and Neoral split up to cover more ground. She needed to find Dynamo first, one was going to find him before her. She had asked Ruby and Radiance to help her, but the pair refused, they told her that they didn’t want to hunt him down and would rather stay in and tend to their needs. Tabitha didn’t understand what was more important than hunting down the Pokemon that had caused them harm but whatever, more fun for her. 

Ruby and Radiance had gotten into a fight with Dynamo not that long ago from what she was told, a fight that ended up nearly costing Ruby her baby. Tabitha could never let her Din be put in such a nasty situation, she wasn’t strong enough to fight off someone like Dyanmo and it was reckless. But if Din had gotten hurt like Ruby’s daughter had she would burn down the entire world looking for the one responsible. Why didn’t Ruby have that kind of drive? She was the General of Emotions, she should be ripping every single tree out of the earth right now knowing that the one who nearly took her daughter from her was literally in her backyard. And Radiance…if she cared about Ruby’s daughter like her own, she should be doing the same. Not sitting in their home breeding like wild animals. Sex was so overrated and such a waste of time. It had Pokemon weak by stealing their common sense and replacing with nothing. Tabitha spat at the ground, at the thought of her ever being like the High Commander and General.

Tabitha found herself near a stream, the water was frozen solid, and it was safe to cross if she wanted. She closed her eyes and pictured the colt in her mind’s eye, his smooth slick fur, that long flowing mane that could go for days, his strong muscles….

“What…no…” Tabitha shook her head. “Get it together.” Blowing hot air out of her nose the Deerling began walking again, crossing the stream and headed towards the center of the forest, the same spot that the Lucario said he last saw Dynamo with the red ring Umbreon. She quickly reached the spot spoken of and stopped. 

“Here.” Tabitha spoke out loud, she closed her eyes and began feeling for any trace of either Dynamo or the red ring Umbreon, aka…. Karis. Tabitha knew that Karis was involved after hearing about the strange Umbreon, he always did fancy himself as an Umbreon even if he didn’t like eons to begin with. It was ironic. But this wasn’t about Karis just yet and instead she turned her focus back on Dynamo, she imagined his features in her mind, his scent, oh that sweet scent that remind her of a wheat feed, so vast and beautiful. His eyes, those large blue eyes, they were so majestic, so strong like the most powerful waterfall, and yet they were so gentle like a smooth flowing stream. She could just get lost in them forever…. 
And then it hit her, the feeling she was looking for. She found him…she found a trace of his energy lingering. It was faint, nearly so faint that unless you knew what to look for you would miss it but she knew that feeling, that power and she wasn’t going to let it go. 

“He’s near…” Tabitha whispered. She couldn’t believe it he really was nearby. How long had it been since she last saw him, that long flowing mane, that beautiful smile and those deep blue eyes that could melt the deepest ice. Tabitha remembered seeing him long ago, just after he had gone on the run and she was playing with her transformation experiment that would later trap her as a Deerling. 

[ Past: Post Suicune Incident. ]

Tabitha had been called by Radiance to hunt down Dynamo and bring him back to Ruby’s army. It was at this time that Radiance was conducting her experiment on Ruby, studying the art of evolution and how moves worked. Or at least that was what she was telling the rest of the Legion back during that time. Tabitha had a feeling that Radiance was really keeping Ruby around because of the love she had been starting to have for her. Even back then Radiance and Ruby had powerful feelings for one another, but it wasn’t strong enough for them to run off, forget their duties and have nasty sex with one another. No, the two of them were married to their duties, something that Tabitha respected greatly. 
Being the Pokemon of Life, she was tasted with the task of both protecting life and taking it. If you were to ask Tabitha what side of the coin, she enjoyed the most she would tell you in a heartbeat that she loved taking far more than giving. Taking lives was easy, there wasn’t some special process to it like giving life, nope when you take a life all you had to do was end it, and she was good at ending them. No Pokemon on either side had a body count like her’s and she wanted it to stay that way. Radiance asked for her to take out key leaders of Ruby’s army throughout the war and unless she told her how to do it she normally just blasted them, or stuck them with her horns or crushed their skulls, the last one she enjoyed doing the most. Granted this wasn’t easy, being a 7-foot-tall stag that could be seen coming a mile away. But Tabitha had found a way around that.

She turned herself into a Deerling when she went out on missions. Yes, she had been experimenting with her life magic and with Radiance’s help was able to create a potion that allowed for her to transform her form into that of a Deerling. The process wasn’t perfect, and she couldn’t get rid of her antlers entirely but they were small. Neither could she rid herself of her natural blue and black coat, nor could she get rid of the “x” that was in her eyes, but other than that she was normal. Oh no that wasn’t true, she was still a herm with a pretty decent size cock and a sex drive to boot. That same sex drive would later be the reason Din was born and she had “sperm” donor in her life. Meh sex, the trouble it caused good Pokemon like her. 

Tabitha had tracked Dynamo all the way to a stream Dream Reach Forest. This forest was later renamed…Fablereach Forest. She found Dynamo crying by the stream, his body on the ground, hoofs over his face and the sound of his whimpering could be heard several yards away. Tabitha had approached him, the Keldeo didn’t know it was her at first, or at least didn’t realize who she was until she began speaking. 

“I found you traitor.” Tabitha spoke, a smirk on her face. 

“Huh…who is that?” Dynamo looked to see her. “Who are you?” 

“I’m here to bring you in.” Tabitha didn’t want to let off who she was just yet. She found herself trying to keep it together, she had a reputation to protect. No one escaped her after she found them, nor did she any sort of mercy to anyone she was asked to kill. She had been ordered to bring him back alive, but if he resisted and there was no other way, she was allowed to finish him. If so, she was to milk his seed and take it to Radiance for the possibly of cloning him. Radiance back then had been experimenting with clone too. Maybe she would have perfected her abilities by this time and wouldn’t make a monster this time. Though at least if she did make a monster it wouldn’t have a chance to try to kill the original like Ruby’s clone had done. 

“Today you will face justice for your crimes, Dynamo.” 

“Is this about Windy?” Dynamo asked, his eyes puffy and red from crying. Tabitha remember feeling herself starting to drop her guard. It was so hard to see her beautiful Dynamo crying like this. But then she thought of her duty and swallowed her desire. 

“It’s Suicune to you Dynamo, you have no right to call him by his name. You lost that when you stuck him with your horn.” 

“It’s not what you think…whoever you are.” Dynamo lifted himself up onto his hoofs, the colt was ready to defend himself it needed. Tabitha smirked, she was hoping he would fight back.

“You don’t recognize me sweetie?” Tabitha asked, her voice softened. “You do not realize who I am?” 

“Um…” Dynamo blinked a few times. He shook his head as if it was coming to him. “Tab…tab…no…. Tabitha.” 

“Yes, they sent me to get you.” Tabitha lowered herself into a battle stance. “Shame too, I really did want to see if we could have worked out.” She wasted little time in attacking as the Deerling charged towards the Keldeo her antlers down as if she still had her great length and power. Dynamo dodged out of the way, tripping her with a hoof. Tabitha kept her balance managing to stay up, or at least she thought that was how it should have gone before she falls into the cold dark stream. 

SPLASH

“What?” Tabitha jumps out of the water. “How did I—?” 

“Your slower and your antlers are only for show.” Dynamo spoke, the colt was standing tall at the bank of the stream. “I didn’t mean to kill Windy.” 

“How can I believe you?” Tabitha asked. “You ran away.” 

“They wanted to…no they still want to kill me.” Dynamo sighed. “Tabitha, I like you, both as a Xerneas and…” The colt blushed. “You make a really cute Deerling.” 

“Dynamo….” Tabitha blushed back, the Deerling was lost for words. She looked away. “I still have too.” 

“You won’t beat me.” Dynamo confidently said. “Please don’t hurt yourself trying.” 

“I never miss…” 

“You will this time. You’re too weak as a Deerling and form what I heard your still exploring how to use this body.” Dynamo closed his eyes. “Let’s make love— “ 

SMACK 

Tabitha struck the Keldeo with a furious kick to the jaw. Dynamo feel back but didn’t fall over, instead the colt shook off whatever main he might be feeling. A small trickle of blood ran down his jaw. Tabitha huffed and puffed, that attack took all her strength. How was that possible she wondered, she was used to being so much stronger than this, that kick in her true form would have knocked him out for sure but now…now she felt like she couldn’t even put a dent in him. Dynamo turned around to leave.

“What are you going!” 

“That was your best attack.” Dynamo turned to look at Tabitha, his face still blushing. “Fight me again when your stronger. Winner gets to have their way with the loser.” With that Dynamo walked away and Tabitha fell to her knees the Deerling couldn’t believe how weak she was. The idea that she could sneak around and still do what she loved doing as something smaller, it was all a waste. Dynamo go away and it was her fault.

“If anyone is going to deliver justice…its me.” Tabitha swore that day that she would figure out this Deerling form and make use of it. What she didn’t realize until much later was that if she remained in the form for too long it would become permanent. Radiance figured out how to perfect the formula so its user can change back when ever even if they remained in it for a long time, but there was no way of helping her. 

[ Present Day]

Tabitha had unconfidently returned to the same spot where she had found Dynamo all those years ago, the same bank along the stream that she had lost the only Pokemon that she seemed to care deeply for that wasn’t named Din. It was here that she had given up her normal form to become a Deerling, even if not willingly. It was here that she missed her only mark, where she watched Dynamo walked out of her life for what seemed like forever. Yes, this little spot in the woods held a lot of meaning to her and it was here that she will find her long lost love once again. 

“Tabitha?” 

“Yes.” The Deerling smiled as she was staring out at the stream. The voice…oh that voice she would never forget, the voice of a traitor, a coward, the voice of the only Pokemon that she loved. No…she didn’t love him, she liked him for his beauty but no…there was no way she could love him. Love wasn’t a real emotion it was something that Pokemon came up with to explain why they want to screw someone. 
“Hello Dynamo, it has been such a long time.” 

“How did you find me?” Dynamo asked. He had approached her from the other side of the stream, the colt seemed to be out for a walk this afternoon. Cool breath escaped his mouth as they stared the other down from both sides of the stream. Tabitha smirked, this was it, this was her big moment. 

“You were hard to find let’s just say that. But in the end, I found you because of a feeling I had that lead me here.” The Deerling points right at the Keldeo, determination in her eyes. “Now Dynamo, it’s time to pay up. Me and you, 1v1, this battlefield, no items.” 

“You still remember that— “ 

“Of course!” Tabitha smirked. “Tell me Dynamo do you bleed?” 

“Of course, I bleed!” The Keldeo said firmly. “Don’t you remember, you kicked me long time ago and cut my lip.” 

“Oh…” Tabitha giggled. “Oops.” 

“Look if you want to fight can we have it wait? I’m still recovering from my last fight.” Dynamo spoke. It wasn’t until then that she noticed the bandages on his body and look of weariness on his face. Tabitha couldn’t believe it, but she felt bad. “I mean I’m the one on the run— “ 

“No…” Tabitha spoke without thinking. “I’ve waited 200 years, what is a little more time.” 
“I’m pretty sure you know that Karis and Cressy are taking care of me.” The Kelsey walked across the stream and stood next to Tabitha. He was so much stronger than before, his muscles looked so toned and taken care of. Minus his cuts he was just as beautiful as she remembered him. Pressing a hoof against him the Deerling could feel his muscles moving under his fur. 

“Oh, my Giratini…” She muttered. “You feel so good…” Tabitha hadn’t realized it but her anger, her determination to catch him, her desire to hurt him was gone, all in one moment. No, she didn’t want to hurt him, she wanted to press herself up against him, to feel his warmth, to know him. Yes, she wanted to know this Keldeo. Her Keldeo.

“Come back with me Tabitha.” Dynamo spoke softly, the pair pressed their heads against one another. “Please.” 

“Yes…yes….” Tabitha looked up at the colt, her heart was racing. “I will go anywhere with you…”
