11:20, August 6th 312 AS, Violet City Shopping Center
Trance looked over the shopping center and blinked at the amount of glass that had been used in it's construction. “Gods am I glad I have my sunglasses. This thing is like looking into the sun!”
Kara giggled and pulled her tamer onwards, the rest of his troop falling in step with them. “Oh come on you big baby. It isn't that bad. Besides, this'll give you a chance to put your harem in a bunch of wonderful and revealing outfits.”
“Maybe you can even buy us things for later,” Vera chimed in causing a few of the other girls to giggle.
Trance sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “I've got a sinking feeling in the pit of my wallet.”
Once inside, everyone marveled at the architecture and use of what appeared to be Marble to make just about everything, then topping it all off with what Trance would qualify as chrome. The effect was ostentation and unseemly, but somehow, the various potted plants that stood guard at regular intervals throughout the entire building caused it all to work.
Trance took off his shades and checked his pokedex for the time. “Alright ladies, there are three dress shops in here, two lingerie stores, and several other shops of currently little value to us. Wander around and do some recon of what you want, then meet me in the Food Court at 1300 hours. After lunch we'll buy your preferred items and head back to the center for some training.”
“Who's got tamer watch?” asked Solara as the Harem looked over the map of the complex.
Trance thought for a second. “You, Seria, and Dina. Aurora and Vera can ride herd on the rest of them.”
The selected girls quickly joined their tamer and the two groups split up.
-------------
The Trance group made their way into the shop nearest the main entrance, and they were promptly jumped by an excitable looking Very-Near Human type, who's hot pink skin and hair, along with her very blatant nudity and extremely generous DD chest, told the young tamer that she was a Wigglymuff.
Said naked female giggled as the four of them stared as her chest for longer than they realized. “Welcome to Threads of Fate. My name is Lory and I will be assisting you with your every need today.” She stressed the word 'every'.
Trance was, amazingly, the first to snap out of the daze the still bouncing, jiggling flesh had placed them all under, and smiled brightly. “Why thank you Lory. The four of us are going to be heading to a fancy pants party, and as it turns out, we left our fancy pants at home.”
The Wigglymuff giggled as Trance's cheesy line broke his harem out of their staring with a collective groan. “Well, it just so happens that we can provide you with anything from ball gowns to bondage gear, so step over here and we'll get started shall we?”
-------------------
The two groups met back at the Food Court at exactly 1 o'clock. They all got their food and sat at a large table with one of the security guards eyeballing the herd from across the room.
“We found a store that has some really nice underwear,” Vera said as she ate a bite of her steak.
Trance nodded. “Then we'll go there before we head back to the dress shop we found.”
“Gods she was jiggly,” Solara said as she slowly ate a bite of her baked potato. Dina cracked up laughing and received a look from the second group.
“You'll understand when we get back to the shop,” Trance said as he took a large bite of his sandwich.
The rest of the harem exchanged a look before going back to their food.
---------------------
“Welcome back sir. I see you brought the rest of your party goers this time.” The smile on Lory's face stretched from ear to ear as every new arrival stared at the girl's chest. She gave Trance a 'watch this' look, and took a deep breath. She quickly closed her mouth and her chest quickly inflated, causing her small form to slowly rise off the ground, while the action caused the harem to snap back to reality, with small screams coming from Larix and Gaia.
Lory released her breath while Trance attempted to stay on his feet as he laughed, and the shop keeper just continued smiling. “I know they aren't the biggest in the world, so I have no idea why everybody always stares at them.”
“Because they're so jiggly and soft,” Solara said as she reached out and grabbed the Wigglymuff's breasts, squeezing them and pulling on the nipples as rough as she could.
---------------------
By the time the dresses had been fit and purchased, Trance had almost left without having to tame anybody.
Trance looked at the com number in his hand and grinned widely to himself. Almost was the key phrase.
17:30, August 7th 312 AS, Violet City Underground Caverns, Outskirts of Violet City
Kara giggled, her outfit sparkling in the light, as she looked around the cavernous hallway. It was brightly lit and had incredible works of art hanging along the walls, some depicting the wars, some of girls releasing their most powerful attacks, but one of an older looking man, hair graying around the edges, and the center of his beard already stark white, looking much like an Army General from the early days.
“Never expected a so called 'Underground' group to have this kinda taste in décor,” Vera said as she walked beside her alpha. She was now wearing a floor length, black leather dress that cut deep between her C-cup breasts, showing plenty of skin. Seria nodded rapidly as she looked everywhere she could while keeping pace with her tamer.
Trance shrugged as he fidgeted with the collar of his white suit jacket, the only distinguishing item on his entirely black outfit other than the embroidered runes on either shoulder. He spotted what he hoped was the end of the hallway and sighed. “They're probably funded by some ranking official who likes playing mysterious benefactor or something.”
Trance's assumption of the hallway was correct as they reached a large pair of doors and stopped to examine them for a second. This gave Aurora, who was wearing a shimmering white gown identical in style to Vera's, time to pull out a brush and run it over the Alpha (Seria having opted to go Au Natural as per usual) causing the furry female to purr softly.
Just as Aurora finished, the doors began to open. The room on the other side was massive, filled with Tamers and Pokegirls, tables of food laid out along two opposite walls, a large stage at the very front, as well as a large arena that looked like an oversized, octagonal wrestling ring in the center.
Kara whistled as music coming from the 35 piece orchestra flowed through the room. “Talk about extravagant. How has nobody heard of this before! There's got to be at least 400 people here!”
“431 to be precise,” a strikingly beautiful, white haired woman in a flowing white gown said with a wide smile as she approached the small group, her deep green eyes seeming to stare through each of them and into what lay beneath. “And that's not including the pokegirls.”
Trance smiled at the woman and bowed slightly, never breaking eye contact. “Well, you can make that 432. Hope we aren't intruding. We spotted one of the flyers and decided this would be a great way to blow off some steam.”
“Not at all Mr. Havok. The more the merrier, especially when the festivities begin,” the woman said as a rather tall man appeared behind her, dressed in a deep purple tuxedo.
The use of his name caught Trance off guard and the woman merely giggled. “Forgive me, I am Nitrene-”
“My Alpha,” said the man in a deep, warm voice, extending a hand which Trance quickly accepted. “My name is Krow. Nitrene here is an Alaka-Wham, which is why she's also head of security for this little get together.”
Trance chuckled as the woman raised her antenna just above her hair to prove her nature. “Just so long as I'm not being followed,” was the young male's response as he examined the room. Everyone was dressed in such a way that the entire ballroom looked like a massive pool of living color.
Krow chuckled and led the group down the stairs. “Nothing of the sort. Nitrene checks all persons who enter the room, ensuring their intentions are not malicious in nature.”
Kara began to bounce with excitement as she spotted a corner of the room with several gambling tables. Trance noticed this at the same time Nitrene did and chuckled as the female waved an arm towards them. “Be my guest Kara. All are equal here, so even those of your nature are allowed to join in the fun.”
Kara looked at Trance with longing in her eyes. Trance nodded and tossed her one of the spare pokedexes before she bolted for the makeshift casino, somehow managing to still look elegant, even in her rush.
Krow turned on the remaining four, a wide smile on his face. “Now then, as for the rest of you, I sincerely hope you enjoy the First Annual Underground Ultra Ball.”
Within seconds Aurora and Vera had disappeared off to some section of the room, leaving Seria and Trance to wander around the main floor, arm in arm, Seria's tail waving slowly behind her as the pair took in the sights of all the tamers, a surprising number of which were female, dressed in their finest along with their pokegirls.
'Heck of a party. Why do I have a bad feeling about this all of the sudden?' Trance sent to his alpha, their Delta bond coming in handy as his thoughts were as clear as if he were speaking to her in an empty room.
Seria shook her head in agreement. Everything had been running relatively smoothly for the last few weeks, which, if one had been talking about any other person in the world, would have been a welcome change, but Trance was firmly of the opinion that the longer someone went without incident, the more extreme the incident would be. This was a feeling that Seria completely understood, though that didn't mean they couldn't enjoy their time while the countdown ticked away.
The Umbria took her tamer's hand and pulled him in the direction of a large circle that had been formed by a ring of people and pokegirls, all of them watching as tamers and 'girls danced in the center. Seria thought this was a wonderful idea and, after watching for a few seconds, pulled her tamer into the group, immediately getting into step with the rest and helping Trance to do so as well.
-------------------------------
Aurora and Vera quickly made their way to the food, the pair having recently found out that even with Vera's domineering attitude and slight anger problems, they actually had a lot in common which made it that much easier for them to get along.
“Oh my gods, look at this spread!” was Vera's enthusiastic reaction to the massive glistening platters, each holding mountains of food.
Aurora giggled as her stomach growled loud enough for several people to hear over the orchestra, their snickering causing her to blush slightly. “Mmmhmm... let's dig in!”
-----------------------------
Kara was having the time of her life. After Trance tossed her the 'dex, she checked how much had been placed on it and was ecstatic to see the six digits. So, her first target was the roulette table, where she quickly met another Lady Luck, this one dressed in a bright orange outfit that was a bit more conservative than Kara's, though it was like comparing a Go-Go dancer and a stripper. The pair had kick started an incredible rivalry that had them both kicking each other's butts in turn, Kara would win a spin, then she would, then Kara again.
The pair were giggling furiously as they walked hand in hand over to the poker table, chatting idly about stupid things their tamers had done in the past. When they finally sat down, the Ingenue dealer looked them both over and smirked as the three other tamers at the table thought they were just regular very near human types.
-------------------------------
Trance quickly got used to the steps of the dance thanks to Seria's coaching, and the pair were now having a wonderful time, spinning, trading partners, then trading back again. But even through the entire song, Trance couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.
Just as the song ended, Trance heard a pop behind him followed by the metalic scrape of metal on metal, followed quickly by several women screaming and running out of the way.
---------------------------------
Aurora and Vera had together finished off two entire platters of food, and had started in on a third one when they heard the screaming and felt the sense of distress coming through their alpha-bonds. Both females dropped their food and turned towards the source of the noise before bolting.
“Knew it was too good to be true!” Vera said as she shoved people out of the way.
-----------------------------------
Kara stood, arms raised in victory at having defeated her opponent, Sarah, with an All In on a Full House of Aces over 9's, when she too heard the screams. She quickly grabbed her 'dex and turned to Sarah and pulled her into a full on kiss. “Hate to win and run, but my tamer's attracted more trouble.”
Without another word, she ran towards the dancers, leaving her opponent staring, wide eyed, as Kara ran towards the noise.
------------------------------------
It took all of Trance's strength just to keep the single blade of the strong female at bay, even with both crossed blades and him now kneeling on the floor. He was about to release and attempt to roll out of the way when a whip flew through the air, connecting with it's enemy's right cheek, causing her to step back and look around for her assailant.
This gave Trance an opportunity to get some distance and release the rest of his harem, leaving Solara as the only one left in her ball. Gaia, Dina, and Larix all looked around for a second before they spotted Vera, Aurora, and Kara all standing around in other edges of the ring of people, with their tamer beside them, blades out.
“What, again?” Larix asked as she ignited her fists, only seeing the sword wielding female with massive white wings in the center as their immediate enemy.
Krow appeared on the stage and the microphone flipped on, distracting the female another few seconds and allowing Trance to get a reading on his pokedex. “Ladies and gentlemen, please exit the building post haste. This is not part of the show.”
ARMSMISTRESS, the Ultimate Fighting Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Fighting/Steel
Frequency: Uncommon (Normal) to Very Rare (Winged, Gold Continent)
Diet: any human style food
Role: can adapt to almost anything
Libido: Low (High with favored master)
Strong Vs: Bug, Dark, Dragon, Ghost, Ice, Normal, Plant, Poison, Rock, Steel
Weak Vs: Electric, Fighting, Fire, Ground, cat Pokégirls
The crowds immediately began to disburse through the massive doors, leaving Trance and his harem to deal with the swords woman.
“She's weak to fire and fighting, so I want Dina and Larix on point for this! The rest of you try and keep your distance, and stay on your toes! She didn't teleport in here on her own!” Trance's orders were quickly received and, before the winged female could get a grip on who her enemies were, Larix was thrown, entire body engulfed in flame, by Dina, the fire type's fist connecting with the the flying fighter's face when she turned to look the pair over.
This served only to enrage the female as she turned on Larix as she landed and swung her Claymore, Larix ducking the massive blade and missing it by mere inches. Dina attempted to distract the girl for Larix so she could attempt to bring the massive female down by throwing a chair at the girl's head, the wood splintering but not deterring her from her target.
As she got ready for a vertical swing, Larix charged up a Flamethrower and readied to release as soon as she could hit dead center. Larix released, hitting the girl in the face and causing her to embed her blade in the marble floor instead of Larix' head.
While watching this, Kara decided to get in on the action and summoned her cards in an outstretched hand, quickly shuffling them and drawing five. “Let's see if my luck holds out tonight,” she said as she checked the cards, smiling before revealing a hand of three 6's and junk. “And the magic number is 6, making this a Triple Guard!”
The entire group felt the speed boost, allowing Larix to avoid the powerful attacks much easier while peppering her enemy with Flamethrowers before hitting her left wing with a napalm attack that worked wonders for pissing the girl off.
While all this was happening, the rest of the party wasn't standing idle however. Seria and Aurora were both keeping guard on Trance, Aurora attending to the gash in his right arm that had arrived seconds after the Armsmistress, while Seria surveyed the room for any other potential trouble.
That was when she spotted the weird psychic girl from the other day across the room, flanked by a massive bird faced cat pokegirl. Seria pointed at the pair and Trance looked over to see them. He didn't need his 'dex to tell him what he already knew. The big girl was a Griffon.
“Heads up ladies! We found the ring leader! Kara and Vera, I want you two to keep the Griffon busy. Gaia, stay over here and watch my back! Seria can handle the Spliced, but I don't want anyone sneaking up on me!”
The girls silently obeyed, the Lady Luck and Domina sprinting off towards the Griffon and G-Spliced, while Seria charged and lobbed a Dark Bomb across the room, the orb of energy exploding as it hit the floor, sending chunks of granite flying in multiple directions, one even skipping off the phychic's head, causing her to snarl and teleport just in front of Seria.
The Umbrea had seen this coming and used it to her advantage, ducking before the teleportation then triggering her muscles and launching herself upwards, sending her fist flying into the jaw of Surroni, who's head snapped back with such speed that she lost her balance and landed on her ass.
Gaia snorted in laughter causing Surroni to turn her attention on the plant type, the spliced's eyes beginning to glow, stopping Gaia dead in her tracks. Seconds later, a large fist flew out of nowhere and hit Seria in the back of the skull sending her sprawling, just as a large set of hands grabbed both Aurora and Trance by the shoulders.
Surroni smiled wide and stood back up, even as the Armsmistress gave a screech of pain and fell to the ground in a heap. Larix and Dina had just turned to charge the pair of Amachokes now holding their tamer hostage, only to be launched across the room into the wall, an unnatural crunching sound issuing from both girls as they too were knocked unconscious.
Trance caught a glimpse of dark green out the corner of his eye, recognizing it as Vera's whip only a second before Gaia's vinewhip caught it in mid-air, the plant type pulling hard, sending Vera to the ground. She attempted to get back up, but was grabbed by her hair by the G-spliced who pulled her straight up, the shorter girl's feet hanging several inches off the ground.
“Let go of me!” screamed Vera as she attempted to claw at her assailant’s forearm.
Surroni's grin only grew as the Domina struggled to get free. “Your words are strong, but your mind is weak.” She leaned in to Vera's ear and bit, sinking her fangs into the female and bringing forth a scream of pain, as well as a gush of blood. “Mmm... your blood is only half as sweet as the terror running through your mind.”
A tear fell rolled down Vera's cheek as she felt the cold steel of a dagger cutting a slit in her dress and pressing into her side.
“I'm going to kill you now, and after I'm done, I'm going to kill the rest of the traitors you are fighting with as payback for ruining my last mission. It made my Mistress very upset, and cost me more than a mere trophy.” She added a small amount of pressure, causing the tip of the blade to sink an inch into Vera's milky white skin, the dark red of her blood flowing out around the edges and over the torn edge of her dress.
All that the G-spliced received was a look of defiance from the girl in her grasp. Aurora scowled as she began to struggle again, the grip of her captor bruising her arms as it tightened.
Surroni giggled, an eerie sound that had a faint echo to it. “Oh, don't worry. We only intend to capture your precious tamer,” the word was like acid on her tongue and caused the hairs on the back of Trance's neck to stand up. “My Mistress wants a new pet, and she has decided your Havok will do nicely.”
Fire raged in Aurora's stomach as she watched the blade sink deeper into Vera's side, drawing forth more blood. The Nursejoy glanced across the room where Kara was still keeping the Griffon busy, even as Surroni twisted the dagger, causing a scream to reverberate through the now empty hall. A second scream soon followed, this one coming from Trance as the Amachoke crushed both his arms in it's powerful grip.
Surroni laughed again as she sunk the blade the rest of the way into Vera's side before dropping her. “I can't have you releasing that last girl of yours Trance. She may prove useful to my Mistress, once she is broken of course.”
Something snapped in Aurora's mind. She couldn't just watch as her harem sisters were slaughtered and her tamer was taken from her. No, that would happen over her dead body. Or even better, their's.
A wicked grin appeared at that thought as her eyes darkened to a menacing purple.
Surroni's smile suddenly vanished.
----------------------
Kara growled as she flipped backwards away from the Griffon's claws. She had to finish dealing with the bird before she could get back to Trance, and judging by the scream Vera had issued, she needed to do it quickly.
“Time to try something new,” Kara said with another flip, “Rolling slots!”
The Griffon made a vertical swipe at Kara just a a massive gold embossed slot machine appeared to rise from the ground. Kara avoided the glistening claws of the beast mere inches before jumping to the beast's shoulder and flipping off backwards, landing daintily atop the machine just as the wheels began to spin.
Kara heard the unmistakable sound of her tamer and best friend screaming in agony from across the room. “Time to put on a show.”
A green striped pork-pie hat that matched the Lady Luck's dress appeared in her hands, as did an emerald encrusted cane which she twirled twice and leaned against. “Step right up!” Shouted Kara with her best Carney impression. “You there,” she pointed at the Griffon with her cane, followed quickly by a pair of energy dice that exploded on impact, proving to thoroughly piss the winged woman off. “How about taking a shot with the Wheels of Destiny!”
The Griffon screeched and swung at Kara, smacking the button right next to the glimmering girl who spun away to the next button as the machine jingled. “Next shot, darling!” Another swing, and another miss, resulting in yet more bells. Just as Kara was about to taunt the flying type once more, the girl's second set of claws came down, hitting the button, but also slashing down the front of Kara's chest, tearing her dress off, and tearing into her flesh as well, causing a mass of blood to gush forth, even as a wave of energy burst from the machine, wrapping itself around the Griffon, but also shooting out towards the enemies on the other side of the room.
The Banishing Blast draining half the Griffon's stats caused her to suddenly fall to the floor as her energy drained so suddenly. Kara laughed once and fell to her knees atop the machine as it began to disappear. “Well, that's show biz.” Her vision blurred and she fell off the edge, getting caught in her recall beam inches from the floor.
-------------
Trance caught site of the massive slot machine as Surroni turned on Aurora. The G-spliced had taken no more than three steps towards the Nursejoy when a burst of light issued from her, causing Surroni to cover her eyes to keep from being blinded. Seconds later, a second wave of light washed through the room, hitting each of their opponents. Trance felt the grip on his arms weaken and swung both feet out behind him, hitting the large pokegirl holding him in the kneecaps with a sickening crack.
The Amachoke was quick to release him as she fell to the ground, allowing Trance an opportunity to reach his belt and slap Solara's ball off his belt, the orb landing on it's face and enlarging before releasing the girl inside with yet another flash of light. She looked around for only a second before grabbing the empty balls from his belt and taking off towards her fallen comrades, heading for Kara first.
A scream from beside him brought his attention back to the present, and he turned to see a black and purple armored figure retracting a massive bladed wing.
“No way.”
-----------------------
Aurora snarled and made dead eye contact with the Spliced in front of her. Nothing outside of this one enemy mattered at that moment. She needed stopped.
Surroni took a step towards her.
She was reaching behind herself to grab what she assumed to be a dagger. Aurora was unarmed though. She needed a weapon.
A second step.
Aurora glanced to her right and saw the blood dripping down Trance's arm.
Surroni never got to that third step.
Aurora was absorbed in a flash of light and seconds later she felt her new strength. She was no longer unarmed. Aurora was near instantaneously covered in glistening black and purple armor. A second flash of light occurred and this gave Aurora her opening. A set of wings slid out from the back of her armor and slid clean through the arms of the Amachoke holding her.
Aurora flexed her left hand, causing scalpels to extend from her armor as a wave of energy wrapped itself around the enemies around her. Even before the light had fully engulfed the now armless Amachoke, Aurora had spun to her right and embedded the scalpels in the large girl's forehead.
Thanks to her continued momentum, Aurora's blades slid effortlessly through the bone of the fighting type's skull, allowing her to free her arm and plant her right fist directly across the jaw of the G-splice that was attempting to regain her balance. The blow sent her flying backwards into the Amachoke who had been previously holding her tamer hostage with a screech of rage.
“No way,” was all she heard Trance say, causing her to turn to look at him.
The Night Nurse slid a strand of her black and pink hair our of her face and dove at Trance, shoving him out of the way as a mass of vines flew from her peripheral vision. Unfortunately for her, her newly enhanced speed wasn't fast enough to propel her out of the path of the Vine Whip, which slammed hard into her side, smashing her into the floor.
Aurora used the momentum of the blow to roll back to her feet, kicking off after skidding to a stop to launch herself at Gaia, who's eyes were still glazed over. The Night Nurse swung a fist at Gaia, her scalpels sliding easily into the Venuwhore's stomach upon impact. Gaia screamed for a single second before she was hit in the chest with a dark bomb that sent her flying backwards into the slowly recovering Amachoke, both girls getting sent sprawling with Gaia oozing a green substance from both her stomach and her nose.
The flunkies now taken care of, Aurora spun back towards Surroni, who's eyes glowed brilliantly. “Traitorous bitch!” the G-spliced yelled before hitting Aurora with a Psi-blast. The Night Nurse wavered for a second before charging up two Dark Bombs and sending them directly into the female's face. She flew backwards with a scream and slid to a halt when her head met the wall.
Aurora watched for a second then turned towards her tamer to begin healing his arms as Solara skidded to a halt next to them. “Harem recovered and Griffon taken care of, sir.”
Trance looked at the blue furred young woman with a raised eyebrow. “You took out the Griffon?”
She shook her head rapidly. “Nope, they did.” She thrust her thumb over her shoulder to indicate the six soldiers, the leader obviously in a mood to talk.
Trance sighed heavily as he flexed his hands, arms now fully healed. “The fun never ends does it?” Trance looked over at Gaia and aimed her pokeball at her, the recall beam hitting but merely bouncing off. He turned back to Vera who looked like her bleeding had stopped. Her ball was just as effective at recovering her prone form, and he just sighed and easily crushed the two pokeballs in his grip.
Aurora shook her head and walked over to Vera, kneeling to do something as the soldiers finally approached. “Trance Havok, I'm Major Steven Melborne of the JSF. I would like to ask you a few questions about what happened here.”
Trance met the man's gaze and growled. “And I'd like to ask you a few of my own, such as why it took you fools so long to get here!”
Aurora sighed as she stood up from Gaia's body and stood next to Solara. “This is gonna be a long night.”
