01:37 June 30th 312AS, Cherry Grove Pokécenter
Trance walked up to the front desk of Pokécenter where a Catgirl was starting to doze off in her chair. "Excuse me..."
The sudden voice in the near empty Center snapped the girl out of her daze, causing her to jump clear out of her seat. "What do you want?" she asked as she glared at the tamer in front of her.
Trance smiled and set his belt on the counter. "I need a cleaning and healing cycle as well as a room."
The Catgirl nodded and took the belt to a room before coming back with a key. "Will there be anything else, sir?" she asked, obviously ready to go to bed.
He nodded and took the said key from the girl. "Yeah, I need to know where the room is and when my harem will be done."
"Fourth room on the right," the Catgirl began as she pointed down the hall before being cut off by a yawn. She placed her elbow on the counter and rested her chin on her fist. "Your harem will be ready in about an hour and you'll have 30 minutes after that to get them before I place them in storage. There is a computer system in your room. Inter-League calls have an extra charge on them just to warn you."
Trance thanked the sleepy female and walked off towards the appointed room. He needed to sort through the pile of ferals he had caught during the short trip and prepare to trade them. He would have them all healed in the morning when the normal staff was on duty; something told him the feline at the front wouldn't appreciate the extra chores at this time of night.
----------
An hour later, trance as sitting at the desk and had almost finished sorting through the ferals when there was a knock on the door. The tamer stood up and opened the door revealing the Catgirl holding his belt.
"I really don't know what you've been through," the girl yawned, "but your Sabertooth Tigress had extensive nerve damage in both arms. She may need retraining in how to even move her fingers, but that's just a guess from the scans." She turned and headed toward her desk.
"G'night," Trance called after her before closing the door. He hadn't intended to keep her, but he did want to heal her before he traded her. Unfortunately, he was having a sudden attack of conscience. He sighed and released his harem.
The four girls stretched and looked around the surprisingly spacious room. Kara was the first to notice Trance examining the pokéball in his hand.
"What's that?" she asked as she bounced over and gave her tamer a kiss on the cheek before hanging off his shoulder.
"It's the Sabertooth we fought a couple days ago," he said simply and tossed the shrunken ball lightly up and down in his hand.
Kara immediately backed away from Trance and the miniaturized orb, glaring at the object with unmistakable contempt. "Why do you still have her," the Trixie growled out as the memories of their first run in with the undersexed Feral began to flood back into her head. Kara despised the girl. Not only for the fact that she had killed Fauna, but because she had beat the living hell out of the entire harem, raped Trance, and nearly killed him in his sleep.
Aurora stepped closer to Trance and watched the ball. "Good question. You look like you're thinking about something that could potentially get you maimed by your harem."
"That's 'cuz I am," he chuckled as he set down the ball and jumped on the bed, laying back and staring at the ceiling before immediately being joined by Seria and, to the great surprise of everybody in the room save Trance, Larix.
Larix rested her chin on his chest and looked at his face. "So you gonna tell us what it is or are we gonna hafta beat it outta you?" the girl asked with a grin that told the Eva next to her she was only joking.
Trance laughed and shook his head. "No need to rough me up. Unless you're into that, anyway. I was just thinking about what I should do about her. The girl at the desk said she may need to re-learn how to use her arms thanks to me."
Aurora figured she knew where he was leading with this. "So you're wondering keep her out of guilt, or trade her and make her someone else's problem."
Trance only nodded as he made out the shape of a Squirtitty on the ceiling.
"Well," the Nursejoy continued as she pulled Kara to the bed, forcing her friend to sit next to her, "considering how Kara feels about her, not to mention me and probably Seria as well, I say get rid of her."
Trance looked down his body at the female, rather surprised by her bluntness about the issue. "Seems my mind's made up, but what of the guilt? I'd feel horrible about leaving her disabled and in the care of some random stranger."
"Why not send her to someone you know would be able to take care of her?" Larix asked from behind closed eyelids.
"That would definitely make it easier to make sure she's safe," Trance mumbled as he tried to think of some place to send her. "The question is where?"
"H-how about the Dojo?" Kara asked, much to Trance's surprise. "Your mother is one of the best fighters I know, so she should be able to help her regain use of her arms. Then, once she's better, she can go off with another tamer." Her voice soured a little as she spoke the last part, hammering in the fact that she didn't want the feline anywhere near her.
Aurora decided to ignore the upset Trixie and continue trying to get the girl out of the harem so they could move on. "Besides, I'm sure your sister could use another friend and I'm sure your father wouldn't mind having a new pussy in the house," Aurora said , getting a fit of laughter from the jester Pokégirl at the obvious (and completely true) meaning behind the pun, lifting her friends mood quite a bit. Trance paled slightly at the sickening thought. It was bad enough he had to listen to it for 19 years, but now he had his best friends reminding him of it, even after he had finally gained his freedom.
Seria and Larix looked at the three rather confused, something which Kara took great pleasure in fixing. "Trance's father is a lech. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Trance and his mothers would have beaten him half to death, I'm fairly certain he would have tried taming me." This seemed to clear the issue quite well and caused Trance to hide his head in shame at the same time.
"And I'm related to the bastard," he groaned as the image of his parent's making him flashed though his mind, making him nearly scream and gouge his eyes out.
Aurora and Kara both giggled and stood up again to strip out of their clothes and turn off the light.
"Don't worry sweetie," Aurora said as she slid into the extra large bed beside Larix, Kara doing likewise beside Seria, "You may have your father's sex drive, but you've got your mother's brains and innate knowledge of how to uses said drive to it's fullest."
Trance sighed once again as the warmth radiating from his harem, especially Larix, began to lull him to sleep. "I don't even want to know how you would know that, but I will take your compliment none the less. Now let's get some shut eye. We've got a big day tomorrow."
A harmony of deep breaths was the only response the male got which brought a smile to his lips before he finally slipped into unconsciousness.
11:23 June 30th 312AS, Cherry Grove Pokécenter
The next morning, Trance took up his seat at the computer and dialed the number for his parent's house. He waited for a few rings and smiled brightly when the very person he was hoping to talk with answered the Video Phone, one of her four hands scratching her head as another two slid down her face down her overly tired looking face.
It took the Amachamp a moment to register the familiar face of her son, but when she did she looked instantly better. "Hi honey! How's the trip? Everyone doing okay? You aren't neglecting Kara's 'needs' are you?"
"Mom!" Trance nearly yelled to get his mother's attention. He obviously succeeded as the Pokéwoman instantly silenced herself and looked slightly sheepish, causing Trance to laugh. "We're all fine. I caught two new girls, and a mess of other ferals that I'm gonna trade later today."
"That's great sweetie!" Marla said happily before taking a sip of something in a dark blue mug. "So, I know you didn't call just to say 'hi' to your frantic mother."
Trance grinned and sat up a bit straighter before feigning a look of innocence. "Who, me? What would give you that idea?" Marla merely gave her son a look that clearly said 'look who you're talking to' and Trance chuckled again. "Alright, you caught me. I was actually hoping for a favor of sorts."
The Pokéwoman got comfortable in her chair and smiled. "Ask away honey. Just remember that any decisions will have to be okayed by your father."
Trance nodded and pulled out the pokéball containing the Sabertooth Tigress and looked at it for a moment. "Well, I caught this 'girl the first night out and can't keep her on threat of death... well... extreme amounts of pain anyway."
This caused Marla to raise an eyebrow. "Then why not trade her with the others?"
Trance set the ball down and sighed. "Well, the thing is, we managed to sever the nerves in her arms before we caught her, and the nurses here say she's gonna need PT. Like I said, I can't keep her, but I can't just trade her to some random tamer knowing she needs help, so I was hoping you could take her in."
Marla sighed. "Well... I'm not so sure about this..."
"Please mom? You're the best trainer I know and I figure if anyone can get her back up to speed, then you can. Plus, I was thinking that you could give her to Skarla as a gift when she finally gets her license so she has two girls she can rely on, both personally trained by you."
The Amachamp sighed again. That was the trouble with Trance, he always knew how to butter her up. "Oh, alright. I already know your father's gonna say okay when I tell him."
Trance grinned wide. "Great! Mind if I tell him? I actually had something I needed to talk to him about."
Somewhere off screen, cries of 'Jayden! Oh yes! Yes, Jayden!!!' could be heard causing Marla to blush profusely. "Actually he's out at the hardware store right now picking up the soundproofing. Terra started that up about three hours after you left." Skarla and her Kitten walked past the screen, holding each other up as they laughed to keep from falling.
Trance covered his mouth with a hand to hide his smirk as Kara and Aurora did their absolute best to keep from cracking up just off screen. "Th-that's ok-kay mom. I'll just s-send this 'girl to the Pokécenter. Can you have dad call me after he picks her up?"
Marla's blush faded slowly as she nodded. "Sure thing sweetie."
Trance ended the call and, almost immediately, Kara and Aurora fell to the ground in near hysterics, leaving Larix and Seria on the bed, completely lost.
"I think we may have missed something," Larix mumbled in Seria's ear as she watched the pokégirl's rolling on the floor. Seria only nodded and curled back up in the fire pokégirl's warm lap.
17:37 June 30th 312AS, Cherry Grove Commercial District
Trance walked out of a shop into the sweltering mid-summer heat carrying several large bags, closely followed by his four girls, each carrying bags of their own, and talking excitedly amongst themselves. After selling the ferals to a nearby ranch, the group had decided to go on a shopping spree. Trance had a few items he needed to pick up to replenish what had been used during the trip into town and had given the girls each 10,000 credits they could use to buy anything they wanted.
Kara bought some new makeup and a few outfits, Larix purchased some new outfits for herself, and Aurora had gotten Trance to buy her a base model pokedex with an e-reader system so she could study different breeds and their attacks, as well as a few medical text programs for the device she could look over in her free time. Seria however, had opted for a small pack of her own, and to save the rest of the money for a later date.
Trance sighed and leaned against the building, hiding in the shadows to avoid the sun's rays. "What do you four say to an early dinner? It's gotta be at least 80 out here, and this heat's killing me."
Seria nodded slowly and leaned against the wall beside Trance, resting her head on his shoulder and panting slightly. She didn't mind warm weather, but the humidity was starting to get to her, and her fur wasn't helping much.
"That's good with us," Aurora said as she finished inputting her user data and stored the device on her hip before stretching. She never really liked humidity herself since it didn't do much good for her hair, but she could tell Seria was beginning to overheat. "We should get you two out of the sun anyway."
Larix snorted and cracked her neck. "Lightweights. This is barely warm."
Kara giggled and poked the Torchchick in the side causing her to squeak. "To you maybe, but you're forgetting a very crucial fact. Seria has fur, and Trance is just an enhanced human. Too much heat can be bad for them."
Larix rolled her eyes and poked Kara in the forehead. "I didn't forget anything clown girl."
Kara was about to retort when Trance coughed signaling the pair to stow it. "Alright you two, let's find some place to get out of the sun. I'm more of a fan of ambient heat than direct heat."
Larix grinned and began walking off down the street. "Come on then. There's a place down this way I went to a few times before my threshold. They've got pretty decent food and don't mind our kind."
Trance looked between his girls and shrugged before the group began following the fire-type down the road.
The group walked down the main street of Cherry Grove, looking at various shops before they came across a large group of street vendors. One shop in particular caught Seria's eye. The Eva grabbed Trance by the shoulder and drug him towards it.
Trance laughed when he realized what kinds of wares this particular vendor had, and laughed harder upon seeing the man's look of horror at the bouncy female moving s fast as she could towards the stand.
"I am sorry sir," the evolution stone vendor said as he saw Trance eye an angel stone in a special case atop the main displays. "I can not sell you that stone seeing as you have an Eva."
Trance looked away from the oddly glowing stone and shook his head with a smile."That's not a problem. I don't have a girl to use it on anyway."
While her tamer was talking to the man, Seria looked over the display of stones. There were all sorts of rocks that would make her more useful to her tamer. The Eva wanted nothing more than to please the male, seeing him as the greatest person on the face of the planet, and that didn't even have anything to do with her bond either. She had never met another human as kind as him, and was certain she would have been in trouble if he hadn't come by when he did.
Trance spotted the stone his pokegirl was looking at. It was fairly unremarkable, but he instantly recognized it as a Moon Shard.
"Ahh... the young one seems to have a good eye for stones. I just found that one this very morning. Quite a lovely stone, wouldn't you agree?" the vendor asked as he watched the glint in the girl's eye.
Seria nodded her head, causing Trance to laugh. "It is nice," he said as he gently pulled his Eva away from the display, "but I think I'll keep her like this for the time being. I think she's perfect as is."
Seria purred softly as she was pulled gently backwards into her tamer's embrace.
"As you wish," the vendor said somewhat sadly as the pair began to walk away. "Come back any time you wish to evolve her though."
Trance waved back at the man as he rejoined his harem outside a small restaurant.
"Hurry up already! I'm hungry!" Larix wined as Seria and Trance walked up.
"Alright, alright. Lets go in."
06:20 July 1st 312AS, Cherry Grove Pokécenter
"Rise and shine ladies! We've got a big day ahead of us."
"I'm gonna kill him," Groaned Kara as she rolled over and buried her head in a pillow.
Larix opened an eye partway before flipping the male off and rolling over similarly to the tired Trixie beside her.
Seria however jumped to her feet and gave Trance a kiss causing him to laugh.
"Goody goody," Larix grumbled as she tried to hide further in the blankets.
Trance sighed and pulled the girl's pokéballs off his belt. "I'll give you till the count of three. Then if you aren't up, I'll put you all in your pokéballs and let you out over an ice cold swimming pool."
Aurora was instantly up and getting dressed. Kara and Larix however remained in bed. Kara looked up at Trance with a death glare. "You wouldn't dare."
"Oh really?" Trance said as he enlarged the orbs in his hands. "I made friends with a guy three rooms down and his rather attractive Hoarfoxx. They think a cold bath is exactly what you two hot heads need in the morning."
Larix glared at Trance with as much intensity and hatred as she could possibly muster into one look. "Why the hell should we get up this early? It's only," She looked at the clock and her eyes grew wider, "YOU'RE INSANE! It's not even 6:30 yet!"
Kara looked at the clock and groaned. "Oh no..."
"Oh yes. We're training today. I wanna get to it before it gets too hot outside for Seria to be comfortable, "Trance explained, to which Seria nuzzled his neck, her tail waving behind her slowly.
"Piss off," Larix growled before being absorbed by the pokéball.
Kara looked at Trance with huge eyes. "You aren't actually going to do it are you?"
The young tamer grinned and placed Larix' ball on his belt. "No, but she is gonna have to get dressed in public now.
Aurora giggled as she tossed Kara her clothes and began collecting the Torchchick's. "She's gonna be one mad birdy. Well... either that or embarrassed."
Seria nodded and grabbed her small bag, throwing it over her shoulder and standing by the door.
"Something tells me she's ready to leave," Kara giggled as she zipped her new, blue Jumpsuit over her bright green bra and panties. Trance just smiled and made sure his pokédex was in it's proper pocket before heading out the door.
--------------------
Out in the courtyard, Trance released a still fuming Larix before handing the nude female her clothes. Upon realizing she was still very much naked, the girl instantly from a deep red of rage to a vibrant pink before running into a nearby bush and dressing with a speed that would put a Sonica to shame.
"Alright girls," the overly cheery male began as soon as the Torchchick returned from her bush, "We're gonna just see what you all can do before I try to figure out how to train you."
Seria raised her hand excitedly and waved it furiously.
"Alright, alright. You can go first," Trance said causing the Eva to begin clapping her paws together before skipping off to the spot that her absolute favorite person in the world had set up the sparing dummies.
The female took a deep breath and calmed herself down as she tried to figure out what exactly to do. She didn't have many attacks thanks to her type, but what she lacked in elements, she made up for with speed. She was about to leap at one dummy, but thought for another moment and pointed at Kara.
"What?" the Trixie asked as she looked around. "You wanna spar with me?"
Seria nodded happily and took up a stance.
Kara looked over at the tamer who shrugged. "If she wants to fight you, then I say go ahead. Her type isn't really very well suited for static opponents anyway."
Kara nodded in response and jumped into the air, doing a front flip, before landing in a crouch in front of the Eva. "Bring it on." She kicked of again, this time using her Quick Attack to gain speed and swung a right hook at the Eva's stomach. After years of training with Trance and his mother, she could more than compensate for the difference in speed.
At least she thought she could.
Seria smiled to herself and combined a Quick Attack with her dodge, blurring to the right as Kara's fist came within millimeters of the Eva's brown fur. Kara looked to her right a split second before being hit hard in the ribs by the Eva's right foot, the speed of the kick adding quite a bit of force causing the Trixie to flip backwards and land on her back ten feet away.
As soon as she hit the ground, she used her momentum to flip herself backwards and skid a few more feet on one knee. She grinned slightly and righted herself, dusting off her knee and cracking her neck. "That the best you got? Come on, let's see what you can do."
Seria nodded and used another quick attack, this time charging the Trixie and swinging her left fist at her Alpha's comparatively voluptuous chest. Kara spun, managing to avoid the attack and swing her foot around in a round house kick. The attack connected with Seria's shoulder blades and sent her flying towards the large tree that was nearby. Luckily for the Eva, thanks to the placement of the kick, she managed to flip enough to land sideways on the tree, flat on her feet, before jumping and flying through the air, aimed directly at a very surprised Kara.
She used another Quick Attack and swung her right fist as she flew past the Trixie. The speed of the Eva streaking through the air, combined with the speed of the punch and Seria's mass quickly became a formidable force. Seria's fist connected hard with the Amachamp trained female, sending her flying backwards into the wall of the Pokécenter, knocking the air out of her as her back slammed into the cement wall.
Kara fell to a knee, coughing as her lungs tried to work properly. Seria however landed and charged the Alpha again.
"Enough!" Trance called causing Seria to trip on her own feet in an attempt to obey, landing on her face a few feet from Kara who looked down and giggled, cut off occasionally by a cough. "That was very good Seria. You okay Kara?"
The Dark type nodded in affirmation before she reached down and took Seria's hand to help her up. The Eva smiled sheepishly as Kara brushed a few pieces of grass off Seria's cheek.
Trance opened his pokédex and typed something in before closing the device and looking at Larix. "You're up. Show me what you can do."
Larix stretched slightly and cracked her knuckles before strutting over to the dummies. She took a deep breath and centered herself before forming a fist with her right hand and igniting it. "Hope these are fireproof," she mumbled to herself and dove at one, hitting it hard sending it flying across the lawn as it burst into flame. The Fire type then jumped straight up and unleashed an ember on the flaming dummy, pelting the object with a solid attack and landing noiselessly 'behind' one of the dummies. She spun in place and hit low, causing the thing to spin in mid air before being slammed by another flaming punch that sent it careening towards the third dummy, both objects igniting simultaneously.
But she was just getting started.
Larix turned on the final two dummies and blasted them with a Flamethower as powerful as she could possibly create, sending the dummies flying backwards into a fountain where they were extinguished. But this simply wouldn't do, so she charged the fountain and charged up another Flamethower, intending to destroy both the dummies, as well as the fountain.
"Time!" yelled Trance who saw what was about to happen. Her tamer's voice caused the girl to stop in her tracks and swallow the attack, turning around to look at the male who was walking towards her. "Nice job lover," he said as he walked towards her, "We just need to work on your control."
Larix shrugged and walked back towards the others. As she neared the group, Trance heard someone beginning to pant slightly, turning to see Seria beginning to look rather uncomfortable. "You alright?"
Seria just smiled and continued to pant, her breathing becoming heavier as Larix closed in.
At this point, Trance realized the sun was beginning to peak into the courtyard. He thought for a moment before snapping his fingers, unintentionally getting his Harem's attention.
"What's up hun?" Aurora asked as she looked away from an interestingly shaped cloud.
Trance looked up and grinned. "I have an errand to run real quick. I'll be back in about an hour, so till then you've got a break. You're free to do whatever you want, just don't destroy anything expensive."
The harem nodded and Trance turned to run off into town.
"Great," Larix said as she headed back towards the front door of the Pokécenter, "I'm going back to bed."
08:23 July 1st 312AS , Unknown Location
A small group kneels around a large throne, the figure sitting upon the stone seat slowly rubbing her chin as a new creature appears and bows low at her feet.
"Well? Have you found it?" the female asks the creature which bows again and produces a dark red stone about the size of a normal human's head.
"Wonderful. Place it in my quarters so that I may examine it. I must make absolutely certain this is the gem we have been searching for." The creature bows and shifts to it's less monstrous, shadow-like form before leaving the group.
"Surroni!" the one on the throne called out.
A rather tall female appears before her Mistress, her head bowed slightly, the perfect image of a loyal serf.
"Yes Mistress."
The leader looks the girl over before speaking again. "Find me a male. It is nearly time for me to tamed again."
"Yes, My Queen," the girl says and teleports away.
The woman looks over the rest of the group and growls slightly before standing up, the faint light from outside lighting the lower half of her face and the exposed parts of her breasts, the two-toned skin nearly reflecting the light on her right side and absorbing it on her left. "Well? What are you fools waiting for? You have your orders, now go!"
Every creature in the room cowers slightly as the far more powerful female glares at each of them in turn, causing them all to disburse rapidly. Once the last cowering shape had gone, the woman begins laughing to herself, her cackle resounding throughout the empty room.
12:05 July 1st 312AS, Cherry Grove Pokécenter
Seria sat across the table from Kara, who was now in only her brightly colored underwear.
"You know," Kara began calmly as she undid her bra, "I think this may be the first game of strip poker I've ever lost."
Aurora looks up from her spot on Larix' back, the Nursejoy now almost halfway through her first medical journal. "That's not true. You lost to me in the 7th grade."
Kara giggled and dealt another hand, losing with incredible speed, before standing up and sliding off her bright green and blue thong, handing the prize to the excited Eva.
Larix broke concentration from her push-ups for a moment, laying on the floor and panting slightly, to look over at the two just as Kara fell to her knees and slid between Seria's legs to begin giving the girl her reward. "How in the world did you lose a game like that to a nudist?"
Kara giggled and looked back at Larix before licking the Eva's essence off her lower lip. "I have no idea, but I honestly can't complain. This girl is as sweet as a Sugar Kitten and wetter then a Feraligarter."
Larix sighed and resumed her excises, pausing only a moment to allow Aurora to adjust her position before pushing onward. "I'll have to take your word on that," she grunted between reps.
A few minutes later, Trance opened the door holding a bag. "Hey girl's. I'm ba-" as he looked from Larix to the table, he noticed Kara's bright blue hair bobbing between the Eva's thighs, along with the Trixie's clothes strewn about around the table, and Seria with a very pleased look on her face. He was about to say something else when Seria began convulsing in orgasmic bliss, her mouth opening as far as it possibly could, her throat releasing a small squeak instead of what from any other girl would have been a scream of pure pleasure.
After another few moments, Kara stood up licking her lips and kissed Seria lightly before taking her panties from the Squirrel-Fox's grasp and sauntering over to her tamer, giving him a very deep kiss, sliding her tongue past his lips to allow him to taste of his Eva.
"Mmm... I'll have to try that from the source later," he chuckled as the clown girl broke the kiss and peeked in the bag, which he promptly pulled away. "Ah ah ah, wait your turn missy," he said with a grin, earning himself a rather confused look from every girl in the room. Trance set the bag down on the table and pointed to a spot in front of him. "Alright you four, line up. I've got goodies."
Aurora and Larix calmly stood up and walked to the spot Trance was pointing as Kara jumped up an down happily, her large freed chest bouncing wildly in front of her. Seria however remained in her seat, eyes closed, with her chest heaving slightly.
"I think she's a little over heated," Kara giggled to which Aurora nodded.
"Well then," the black haired tamer said happily as he dug through the bag and pulled out a wide black box, "I guess she'll be the first to receive her gift." He walked over behind the Eva and pulled whatever was in the box out before wrapping it around the girl's neck and fastening it.
Seria sat up slightly and heard a jingle come from just below her chin. She was suddenly feeling like she wasn't gonna melt into a puddle on the floor and looked up at Trance curiously.
Trance grinned as Kara and Aurora gasped at the sight of the collar now around Seria's neck. "A collar?" Kara said out loud, feeling a small pang of jealousy that the newcomer now had a collar.
"It's a cooling collar, isn't it?" Aurora asked, earning her a nod from Trance.
Larix however, was doing her best to keep herself from bursting into a fit of laughter. "Wh-what's w-with the b-b-bell?"
Seria cocked her head to the side causing the rather large silver bell to jingle causing her to giggle silently, her bouncing chest causing the bell to jingle more and more. She suddenly jumped from her seat and tackled Trance, a slight purr coming from her as she rubbed her head affectionately against her tamer's chest, each movement causing the bell to jingle some more.
Trance laughed and gently pushed the Eva up so he could stand again. "Alright alright, I'm glad you like it. But, right now I think we should give the other three their gifts, doncha think?"
Seria nodded her head vigorously causing the bell to jingle loudly, and forcing Larix to fall to the floor in a fit of laughter.
Trance smiled and reached into the bag to pull out another box, this one smaller then the last. He opened it and and grabbed his fuming Trixie's wrist before placing a small bracelet on it.
Kara looked at the silver colored trinket with slight confusion. "A bracelet?"
Trance nodded. "Yep. It's got an anti capture device in it like Seria's collar." He gently kissed the girl and released her arm. "Can't be having you girls running off now can we?"
Kara giggled and kissed Trance deeply, her jealousy quickly turning into guilt, causing her to blush slightly. Luckily for the Trixie, the oblivious tamer was too preoccupied with Aurora's gift (a bracelet nearly identical to Kara's) to notice the color change.
Once he was sure Aurora's bracelet was secure, he turned to Larix and pulled out what looked like a smaller, dark blue version of Seria's collar. “Give me your foot please,” he said, earning him a confused look from the fire girl.
“Why?”she asked as her talons dug lightly at the floor below her.
Trance laughed.”Because, it's an ankle bracelet. I figured it'd be a bit more comfortable then a normal bracelet and you probably wouldn't appreciate a collar the way Seria does.” At the mention of the Eva's name Trance jerked his head back in her direction. Seria however was completely oblivious to the pair as she was quite busy jumping from Kara and Aurora, examining their wrists, and causing the small silver bell to jingle as much as possible.
Larix looked over at the three and back to Trance before taking a seat and slowly lifting her foot. “Why would you bother getting me anything? I've only been in your Harem for three days.”
Trance thought for a moment as he secured the device around the female's leg. He was quite glad he had picked the appropriate color to match her outfit. “Well, Seria's only been in it for about a day longer than you, so why wouldn't I get you something?”
Larix shook her head at the male's response. “Her collar was a necessity, and from what the others have told me, you've known the Kara and Aurora for years. Why get me anything?”
Trance stood from his kneeling position and leaned in to kiss the Torchchick softly. “Because, you are now my family, and I have to do my best to keep you four safe.”
Larix couldn't believe what she had heard. She was... family? She had only known this boy for a few days, and yet he was already considering her...
Larix was unable to finish her train of thought as Trance clapped his hands together getting the attention of the other three giggling girls. “Alright ladies, who's ready to get back to training?”
12:45 July 4th 312AS, Cherry Grove Gym
Trance and Kara stood outside the facility, admiring the designs of the architecture as they prepared to enter.
“Alright, you ready to try for our first Gym badge?” Trance asked his ever bubbly Trixie.
Kara looked over at her best friend and grinned wide. “What? You think I'm afraid of a few bugs?”
Trance chuckled and walked forward, opening the door for his alpha and following close behind. They reached the front desk and, what he could only guess was an Ingenue, greeted them with a small smile. “Welcome to the Cherry Grove Gym. How may I help you?”
Trance smiled in return and set his pokédex on the counter. “I would like to battle one of the leaders,” he said bluntly causing the girl to giggle slightly.
“Of course, sir. One moment please.” The female took Trance's pokédex and connected it to her computer before typing any missing information and handing the black device back. “Unfortunately, today most of the Llalers are out of town on business, so there is only one here watching the gym. As you can see there are already a few tamers in line so your match is scheduled to begin in a few hours. Is this alright with you?”
Trance nodded in affirmation and pocketed his pokédex. “I will return in two then,” he said and turned to leave. He looked around as he walked and noticed a few older tamers scattered about the lobby. One looked like he had been waiting for quite a while as he had fallen asleep with his Gojilli resting on his chest.
The pair re-entered the sunlight and Trance immediately placed his shades back on his face, Kara doing the same with her own pair of dark purple tinted glasses. “So, where should we go?” Trance asked his alpha as they wandered towards the outdoor market.
“Let's grab some lunch before the match,” Kara replied absently as a rather interesting painting had caught her eye.
Trance nodded and pointed towards a small café. “We haven't gone there yet, wanna check it out?”
Kara giggled cutely and nudged him slightly with her hip. “Your call baby. Remember, you're the tamer, not me.”
Trance chuckled and scratched the back of his head as they continued walking. He really needed to start remembering that.

"And what would you like 'sug?" The waitress asked Seria with a drawl, who began miming and jingling causing the poor Khangasscunt to look at the tamer helplessly, causing the girls to giggle.
"She would like a salad with nuts and berries," Trance said with a soft smile. The waitress wrote down the last of the order and hopped off to hand it to the kitchen.
Trance sat back and looked out the window when he noticed several people running down the street.
Aurora noticed this too and watched their faces. "I wonder what they're running from," she said just before a tremendous explosion went off causing a shock wave that shook the building and knocked several people over.
Before the ground had finished shaking, Trance had bolted from the table and was sliding out the front door. "Oh shit."
