A Toss-up: The act of flipping a coin into the air where each side has a 50 percent chance of landing on the ground.
Alia lay crying over the grave of Den-Mar, her late tamer. She kept thinking, “Why did you leave me here? Why did you have to die? It’s not FAIR!” Tears streamed down the Catgirl’s cheeks and unto the loose soil. It had been three days since her harem’s tamer, Den-Mar, had been slain by the feral Arachnae they were hired to kill. Their master died from a poison bite to the neck, dying in front of his harem a minute later. However, the Arachnae died from Mabella’s flamethrower attack thirty seconds before Den-Mar. Alia sobbed even louder recalling the event.
We still have the head of the Arachnae for the bounty, but we can’t collect it ourselves. This League will most likely take us in and separate all of us and we’ll all get new tamers. I don’t WANT a new Tamer! I WANT DEN-MAR! I would rather lose all of my memories and become feral than to be tamed by a new tamer. Knowing this region, they’d probably make me work in a cathouse, and then call it sweet justice. “A catgirl in a cathouse, it must be home sweet home for her…hahaha!” Animals! Sniffling and wiping the tears onto her white furry hands and forearms, Alia put her head on her arms and tried to sleep. She had been crying for three days now and she was still tired. Just before she wept into slumber, she said a prayer to the Thousand Gods.
“Please hear me, all of the Gods, please do what you can. If it’s in your power, please bring me back my Den-Mar. If you can’t, please, I beg of you, find a way so me, Mabella and Jade can all live happily together. I can’t bear to live without everyone. PLEASE!” After the last whimpered “please,” she had begun to weep again. She did not stop until she had fallen asleep soon after. The sun began to set and everything started to go dark.
**********
“I’m worried about Alia,” Jade said to Mabella. “She hasn’t been back from Den-Mar’s grave since we…” Jade started to cry again. “It’s all my fault, I should have been quicker. Maybe I could have saved him. I’m a NurseJoy; it’s my job to heal the sick and dying!”
“You specialize in healing pokégirls, not humans,” Mabella stated, trying to console the crying NurseJoy. “That is what he trained you to do, so you could take care of me and Alia and any other pokégirl that comes along. It was my fault that Den-Mar died…because…because…” The Firecat started to stammer and sniffle, “Because I wasn’t fast enough to kill that GODS DAMNED MONSTER!” Mabella started sobbing and weeping. Jade hugged the Firecat and stroked her head.
“Don’t talk like that Mabella,” the NurseJoy cooed into Mabella’s ear. “Everything will turn out okay, I promise.” This calmed Mabella down a little bit, but Jade was not too sure if they could be all right. In another few days, they would start to show signs of feralism. The harem may succeed in keeping themselves tame, but for how long? It’s not as if they could go to the authorities for help either. This was not the beautiful Capital League, which she had only heard stories about. That place sounded like heaven on Earth. No, this was an entirely different league. Without a Tamer, they would be walking targets for anyone to do whatever they wanted to them. Most people here saw pokégirls as a threat, not intelligent individuals, like Den-Mar did.
Mabella looked up at Jade. Looking into her green eyes and asked, “Really Jade? Will everything be alright?”
“Yes,” Jade said and tried to smile and looked straight into Mabella’s red eyes. “I promise.” The two held each other and huddled near the fire that was in a clearing of the forest that was also their campground. Stroking Mabella’s red/orange fur-covered arms while hugging each other, Jade thought, “Will Alia ever come back to us? We need her more than ever now. She is the Alpha of the harem. We all need to stick together, all…three…of us…Gods, what is going to happen to us?”
**********
“Well, I think that’s a wrap tonight.” The man referred to by some as “Joe of All Trades” said as he stretched his arms as he raised them into the air. The human’s sleep cycle was screwed up from the combination of his weekend job and school life. Joe had been asleep for about five hours before he started reading some of the Pokégirl stories on the PG sites. It was now past two in the morning and he had class the next day. “Well, at least it’ll be after Noon.” He stated to himself. Looking at his bed, Joe thought about how warm it would be getting inside of it and getting some good sleep for the night or what was left of it. He needed to study for some quizzes and exams for the coming week ahead, but that was something he would really rather not do. Studying to him was about as much fun to him as working out. Some people may like doing both, but judging from the little paunch he kept, one could see Joe was not the proud owner of a membership card to any gym.
After stripping his boxer shorts off and crawling into his bed, Joe turned off his lamp and stared at the white ceiling. “Ahhh,” Joe sighed. “Pokégirls and their tamers. Some of those authors have some imaginations to think of all these things. If they wanted money, I’m sure they could sell their stories to a publisher and make some boo-coo money out of it. Some of them have really great talent.” Joe started to drift to sleep about an hour later, until he heard something. It sounded like it was coming from the roof. He turned over on his back and found himself looking straight up into a black vortex. “What the FUCK IS THAT!” is what he would have said, but all Joe got out was, “Whaaa?!” Before he could finish expressing his thoughts about the situation, Joe was sucked into the anomaly. After the human past the vortex’s barrier, he saw nothing but darkness.
**********
After the vortex closed up, Joe was staring up at his ceiling and for about a minute. He blinked his eyes and few times and thought to himself, “Was that a dream, or am I crazy? Hmm, probably just a dream, but I won’t rule out the other option. Damn, it’s past three already! I should get some sleep.” Joe turned over to his side and closed his eyes. In a couple of minutes, he was asleep.

Sukebe was a lunatic, but he was no fool. He realized his mistake in letting the numbers of Buzzbreasts grow too high, and so he took several Spinnertits and from them created the first Arachnae, Pokégirls designed for the elimination of excess bug-type Pokégirls.
Arachnae are tall Pokégirls, 6’8” at the smallest, with an extra set of arms and lower bodies that essentially make them spider-taurs. Their four tauric legs are thick and very powerful, good for kicking and especially for jumping, and like the horse Pokégirls, they can change between a bipedal and quadrupedal form. Their bodies are covered in soft black fur, with a bright-red hourglass symbol on their backs. Their eyes are actually a solid mass of red compound eyes. They have spinnerets mounted in the back of their mouths, which can split into mandibles. Their poison sacs are mounted just under their teeth, so unless a Tamer has a Poison-type affinity or Blood Gift, letting an Arachnae give oral sex is not recommended. However, allowing an Arachnae to give head is a sign of trust and will guarantee a loyal, loving spider Pokégirl.
In contrast to other spider-types, they do not like bondage very much, unless it involves making a web to stick their Tamer to and tame them. They are generally aloof and sarcastic to those they don’t know, a personality trait that translates to violence when they are Feral. Once they are friendly with someone, either a Tamer or Harem-mate, they become more playful and affectionate, although the sarcasm doesn’t go away. They do, however, become extremely loyal.
Arachnae are a relatively uncommon Threshold result. However if there is heavy spider-type Pokégirl ancestry in the subject’s bloodline, it becomes more likely that they will turn into an Arachnae.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED ULTRA-SUPREME-EYES-ONLY-TOP-SECRET. THIS DATA, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSARY, MUST NEVER EVER BECOME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE! PUNISHMENT FOR REVEALING THIS INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN THE ONE RESPONSIBLE BEING COVERED IN CONDIMENTS AND FED TO A PISSED-OFF, HUNGRY, AND HORNY WIDOW.
A horrible discovery was made about this otherwise innocent Pokégirl, one that could put the breed in terrible danger if it ever became public knowledge. Sukebe made a grave miscalculation in the evolution of the Arachnae, leaving a trigger open for the worst possible Pokégirl of all time. The first evolution to Widow occurred in 100 A.S., when a foolhardy but heroic Tamer named Reaper was killed in action while defending a village from a horde of Buzzbreasts. His Arachnae, in a fit of rage and despair, mutated, the sheer psychological agony of her failure to protect her Tamer triggering her evolution into a Widow. Her resultant rampage slaughtered not only the entire Buzzbreast hive, the Buzzqueen included, but also the village itself. Only the last survivor of the village, a PLC Tamer and his Harem, consisting of a Samurai, an Amachamp, and a Dragoness, were able to stop the Widow’s rampage. And even then the victory wasn’t without cost, all four sustaining severe injuries in the process.
Widows have not just Hyper Venom, but a variety of poisons and venoms running through their bodies. The Amachamp was stung by one of the more rarely used venoms, and started to mutate into a Widow herself. The Samurai put her out of her misery before the change could be completed, and the PLC Tamer submitted his findings to his superiors, data which was researched through studying various Widow encounters and confirmed in recent years.
This information must be protected at all costs. The truth of the Widow’s pre-evolutionary form must be kept from general knowledge. I hate to say this, but we may have to adopt Sanctuary tactics in terms of protecting the information. Arachnae are an innocent breed, and if this information ever became public knowledge, then not even the McMahons or the Jahannas could stop men like Giovanni from mounting an Extinction Agenda against them. Be prepared to do the worst.

Thought to be one of the very first evolutions created, Catgirls are a widespread and variable breed, based on the domesticated cat. Used in the Revenge War as a second staging point for other more powerful breeds of feline pokégirls, Catgirls remain a popular choice for beginning tamers, though some prefer this breed's pre-evolutionary form. This feline breed tends to lean towards the more human appearing range of appearance, though more animalistic forms of near human have been noted in the breed.
The typical Catgirl stands an average of 4.5-5 feet in height, with a modest bust size of around a C cup though instances of low Bs or high Ds have been reported. In the rarer animalistic forms of the breed, individuals may sport full body fur, slight muzzles, or digigrade feet; but partial body fur has been recorded more often, particularly appearing on the forearms and forelegs. All members of the breed have feline ears, functional claws, and usually a tail that is 2/3 their height, depending on the domestic cat breed that is prevalent in the Catgirl. Of note are Manx, Sphinx, Rex, and Edo-Bobtail Catgirls. Manx based members of this feline breed have no tails, and Edo-Bobtails have very short, stubby tails. Sphinx and Rex based individuals are among the oddest of this feline breed, as they have either very short curly fur/hair (Rex) or nearly no hair/fur at all.
Catgirls have a wide range of personalities, much like the Kitten. Personalities range from lazy to hyperactive, silly to serious; the breed should be taken on an individual basis. Many do share a common cat-like demeanor, though given what is written about pre-sukebe domestic cats, this is just as variable. Luckily, the breed shares an average human intelligence, and tend to pick up concepts easily. For this reason, some ferals of the breed have taught themselves how to open doors or to press buttons to try and get at food when living near human habitations.
When pitted against other relatively common pokégirls, Catgirls are usually adequate battlers, though some individuals are better than others. The breed is noted to have powerful leg muscles, allowing this feline type to travel twice as fast as a human. Also, the average Catgirl will find that she can learn kicking or leg-based attacks much easier than other normal type breeds. As such, these normal types can sometimes be a good training partner for an Amazonlee (though rarely a Herolee). Strong friendships often arise amongst the two breeds, which in turn, makes many members of the breed feel slightly disdainful against Amazonkapoeera, though this feeling is not as intense as an Amazonlee’s. Outside of their speed and kicking techniques, Kitten’s Roar and Foresight are innate abilities allowing the breed to both disrupt battle and predict an opponent's moves.
Preferences for taming are just as variable as the breed's personalities, though a tendency to adjust to their tamers preferences is noted as in most pokégirls. Many studies have noted that this feline breed often becomes highly energetic shortly before rainstorms, which usually manifests itself as an increased desire for taming. The same holds true for the new moon, and Researchers speculate that this is the feline DNA at work in the pokégirl. While the exact reason is uncertain, tamers should note that this is an increased desire, not an increase in Libido.
Ferals are predators, and a bit more successful than their unevolved sisters. Primarily solitary, family groups of pokékits with their mother are usually the reason this breed is found in any large number. Like the Kitten breed, Catgirls occasionally form large social networks where food is plentiful, making them a common nuisance along with their pre-evolution. Should the two breeds be found as ferals in a social network, Catgirls are often the most dominant.
Threshold directly into a Catgirl is common, and happens often with feline ancestry. One of the faster thresholds, this transformation often happens over the course of 12 hours, and most often while the thresholder is sleeping. Girls who are awake experience slight headaches and itchiness of the head and tailbone areas, and the transformation happens visibly. Thresholders are often shipped off to ranches or sold as pets.
FIRECAT, the Hot Pussy Pokégirl
Type: Near Human
Element: Fire
Frequency: Uncommon

Role: heat source
Libido: High
Strong Vs: Bug, Fire, Ice, Plant, Steel

Attacks: Bite, Scratch, Slash, Ember, Firespin, Flamethrower, Warm Embrace, Burning Hands
Enhancements: Enhanced Hearing (x3), Enhanced Reflexes (x3), Enhanced Sight (x3), Enhanced Speed (x2), Night Vision, Heat Aura
Evolves: None
Evolves From: Kitten (Fire Stone), Catgirl (Fire Stone)
A Merrowl given a Fire Stone evolves into a Firecat. Firecats have short fur that hugs their body closely. Between their legs the fur is quite short, giving their cunt an appearance of being hairless. Their breasts are a fairly generous B- to C-cup, making them nicely chesty, but not the bustiest Pokégirl around by far. This fur is usually bright red, though yellows, oranges, and even patches of black have also been known. Their hair is almost always blonde, with redheads being rarer. They are more active than most cat Pokégirls, and like to run and hop around places where most other Pokégirls would just walk.
Firecats have the trademark High libido that most Fire-types do, and tend to constantly paw her Tamer in suggestive ways, hoping for a quickie. When she is being Tamed, she has no real preferences for any particular position, just so long as she’s getting rough and fast. Firecats are not a Pokégirl with a deep appreciation for foreplay. A Firecat’s cunt is hot, but not so much so as to be painful, so no special precautions are needed to Tame her. She is a screamer however, and tends to yowl loudly as she’s getting it. Tamers in cooler climates enjoy having a Firecat around due to her Heat Aura enhancement. This ability lets a Firecat emanate her natural heat to a greater degree, making everyone within ten feet of her feel as warm as if they were snuggling close to her. This power isn’t useful for combat though, as a Firecat has to readjust her internal heating powers to a point where they don’t make flames as well when doing this.
A Firecat is relatively competent in combat. She prefers to toss flames at her enemies with Firespin and Flamethrower before for hand-to-hand combat. Her most-used technique is to cloak her paws in flames using Burning Hands, and then use Scratch or Slash, delivering cutting and burning damage to her foe. When she’s especially upset at her enemy, she’ll grab onto him or her with paws of fire and start using Bite ferociously. If she’s feeling playful though, she’ll use the sex attack version of Burning Hands, where her paws only become warm, and start stroking her opponent’s sensitive areas, moving in to then use Warm Embrace.
Feral Firecats are quick and playful. They tend to dart at anyone nearby, using their sex attacks liberally in a playful fashion. They don’t usually use their flame-based attacks when Feral unless provoked. Threshold girls don’t become Firecats too often, but those who do are noted for losing their inhibitions, and enjoy flaunting their bodies now, making suggestive comments to others. This usually tends to hasten their shipment to a Pokégirl ranch by an embarrassed family.
NURSEJOY, the Nursing Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Normal
Frequency: Uncommon, usually found at hospitals and Pokégirl healing centers, has never been found in the wild
Diet: any human style diet, with the preference of vegetables

Enhancements: innate knowledge of human and Pokégirl anatomy, natural affinity for healing
Evolves: Night Nurse (battle stress)
Evolves From: None
NurseJoys, or Joys as they are usually called, are nursing Pokégirls; they can do all healing techniques and will help someone in need by nature. Unfortunately, they rarely, if ever, make good fighters.
NurseJoys were the first species of Pokégirl developed by the Leagues, with the first being born in the year 15 AS. Their development began almost immediately after the earliest Pokécenters opened in 10 AS, once the Leagues realized that they just didn't have the manpower to maintain them all.
Tamers know that it's very handy to have a NurseJoy in their pack, since they can heal the other Pokégirls when they get hurt. NurseJoys don't make good Alphas, though, since they don't feel comfortable with the role of group leader.
While all NurseJoys are born with the capability of learning all of the above techniques, few learn more than half of them in their lifetimes. Most choose to specialize in one or two specific areas and focus on learning the advanced techniques for those. That being said, every single NurseJoy is able to use Dodge, Tackle, Heal, Cure, Revive, Esuna and Yell (which they use to stop struggling patients).
For some unknown reason, all NurseJoys have pink hair. Sometimes it's curly, sometimes it's straight, but it's always a bright, vivid pink. Aside from that similarity, NurseJoys vary in appearance, although a great many of them have pink eyes as well. They stand between 5' even and 5'8", though the average is only 5'2". Their busts range between C-Cups and D-Cups, and are usually, but not always, proportionate to their height.
