Chapter 6: Testing Out
'If you find this plant near a source of water, is the water safe to drink.' Lucian looked over at the picture of the plant and frowned. The picture wasn't even really a picture of a plant, more like half a chewed leaf. Barnes had a habit of making every question life or death, more than likely if this plant, or more precisely the plant this messed up leaf use to be attached to, didn't mean it was safe to drink it would kill you instantly. Their instructor might just be in a mood however and the plant would have nothing to do with the water quality or lack there of. Life or death or nothing at all, when someone had complained about it Barnes had just answered, "Every choice in the wilderness is life or death, except when they don't mean a damn thing." Deeply insightful and instructional, or totally obvious and unhelpful, there was no middle ground with that man.
Lucian closed his eyes and tried to remember what the leaves looked like of all the plants that thrived around toxic water, and then imagine them half chewed and covered in mud. The leaf on the test didn't look anything like them, of course it didn't look like any of the plants that meant the water was safe either. A glance to his left showed Cassie going back over her answers trying to ensure they were correct. He looked up at the clock and saw he had only four minutes left. She had always been a bit faster than him on the tests, finishing first and usually better. He wasn't doing poorly either, in fact he's never done as well in school as he was right now. If he'd applied himself this hard in school he might have wound up with straight A's. 'Of course,' he reflect, 'that would have kept me from becoming a tamer.'
He huffed in annoyance and circled the option for, "Don't know, the plant tells me nothing about the water," and went to checking his test to see if he'd made any stupid mistakes. By the time the test period was over he'd corrected two mistakes, one especially boneheaded and was going through it a second time when he heard Barnes say, "Pencils down." There was a scuffle as pencils made final marks on paper before they all clattered to the desk. "I said down!" Barnes bellowed before Lucian heard a muffled "Urk," of protest. Barnes' methods of ensuring compliance were rarely pleasant.
This one looked particularly un-fun. Peeking back Lucian was able to see one of the class' students still crouched over his paper as if writing. Only he was as still as a statue. Lucian could see the strain in his arms, the near panic in his eyes, as he tried to move and found himself paralyzed.
Lucian glanced towards the front of the class and saw Amy, another one of Barnes' pokegirls leaning back in her chair behind the professor's desk, Barnes' desk, with her feet propped up on top of it. She was chewing her ever present bubble gum loudly, blowing a bubble and letting it pop over and over. Wetly smacking the gum between bubbles. The odd little antenna that came up out of her purple hair waved back and forth, the ping pong sized orange balls on their tip's making hypnotic patterns in the air. She saw the class looking her way and grinned broadly.
While everyone sat still and tried to draw as little attention as possible Barnes stalked across the room and down the row of tables to where the unlucky and rather stupid recruit was sitting. Lucian could see the unfortunate's nostrils flaring as he began gulping down air in a panic. Barnes has thrown someone out of the camp the week before for not stopping on their test when ordered. Lucian couldn't imagine what had possessed this guy to press his luck the same way a week later.
Barnes stopped beside the student and calmly slid the test from under the paralyzed student's hands. The boy's eyes tried to track his departing paper as long as they could but when his neck refused to cooperate and turn he was left staring at the Sergeant's stomach as Barnes started to leaf through the test. "I thought I told you to stop writing Mr. Vinj. Did I tell him to stop writing Aki?"
"Yes sir you did," the pokegirl replied. Lucian would swear he heard a bit of amusement in her normally flat, even voice.
"I thought so." Barnes flipped the page. "Well you got this one wrong for sure," he said as he tapped the paper. "Tell you what, let's just be sure." The instructor took his time strolling back to the front of the class and slide the paper across his desk to Amy. She picked it up and scanned each page for a split second before tossing it back down on the desk.
"Eighty two boss man." She said before popping her gum.
"Eighty two," Barnes nodded thoughtfully. "Make it a forty two."
Amy grinned and popped her gum. "You got it!" The grade book on the desk whipped open of its own accord and a girl in the front row had her pen suddenly leap from her grasp and fly across the room to make a notation in the grade book all on its own. Meanwhile a desk drawer slid open loudly with a clatter of pens and a bright red marker floated out. The marker's cap popped off and began to orbit the marker as it made broad strokes across the recruit's test. Their tasks done the pen flew back to the girl's grasp, the marker capped itself and disappeared into the drawer, the grade book closed, and in a rustle of pages the test flew up to Barnes' grasp.
The sergeant snorted in amusement and walked back to the still paralyzed boy's desk. He slid the test back under the boy's hands and Lucian could make out the giant forty two covering the entire front of the paper, as well as a several frowny faces plastered across it as well. "I hope for your sake the rest of your grades were very good," Barnes said softly, but with enough emphasis that everyone heard them plainly. With that he turned back and headed for the door.
As he passed Amy quipped, "Eh, they're so-so."
When Barnes resumed standing beside Aki he gave the order all of them wanted to hear. "Alright, the rest of you know the drill, get up, drop them off, get out. They'll be graded and ranked immediately. Assemble in the mess hall at eighteen hundred hours." Lucian stood quickly with the rest of his platoon and shuffled forward in synch with them, Barnes demanded the platoon act like one even in class, no disorganized herd pushing for the front. Barnes stood near the door with Aki, chatting with her about something while the odd looking psychic type sat at the desk taking the tests as they were handed to her. As he handed her the paper she winked at him and blew him a kiss, one he felt smack wetly against his cheek even though she never moved from her seat. He was still looking back towards her when he made it to the door. Barnes cleared his throat loudly and got Lucian's attention. The instructor's withering glare wiped the smirk off his face and he double timed it out of the classroom building and into the main yard of the camp. Behind him he could hear Barnes say, "Alright, let him go Amy."
"Damn boy, ya might wanna keep it in yer pants 'round him," Cassie said as she caught up with him.
"What do you mean?" Lucian asked, hoping for something deniable.
"Makin' eyes at Amy like 'at, 'specially wit Barnes watchin."
Lucian turned towards the barracks and started walking. "I didn't make eyes at her, she kissed me." Cassie's footfalls fell right in line with his as she paced him.
"Ya had ah dumb look on yer face when ya was starin' back 'at her," she paused and seemed to consider her words. "Then again 'ats tha way ya always look."
"Oh haha," Lucian said dryly. "So how'd ya do?"
Cassie shrugged. "Pretty good ah think. I 'membered most ah it from studyin'."
"I'm pretty sure I blew the last question." Lucian said with a sigh.
"The leaf?"
"Yeah, what did you put down?"
"Nothin, never seen it fer." Cassie's annoyance was palpable and he couldn't blame her. Barnes always included a few questions they hadn't ever gone over in class.
"Well that makes me feel a little better."
They walked a few more paces in silence before Cassie piped up. "Ya think he's gonna hand out tha reward fer the top five tanight?"
"Probably, I mean it would makes sense, what with tomorrow off. Whoever gets a girl gets to spend tonight and tomorrow taming her."
Lucian could see the gleam in Cassie's eyes at the mention of a free night and day to tame a new pokegirl. He had to admit, the prospect was more than a little enticing and after three solid weeks of PT and book studying having an actual day off was something to look forward too. Getting to spend that day off taming a new pokegirl, that was something to covet.
"Sounds 'bout right. Ya think we're gonna make it?" Cassie asked as she kicked a rock off the gravel path. It was the question that was foremost in both their minds.
"Top five?" Lucian sighed as he considered it. "I dunno." Which was the truth, he really didn't know. Not long after they had realized what it meant to make it in the top five so had the rest of the class. Within a few days all anyone could talk about was how they were going to make it in the top five. Lucian had been discouraged for a few days, schooling had never been his strong suit, but with Cassie and Koshka pushing him he hadn't given up and he was glad he hasn't. For all the bravado and talk the first week's testing had separated who actually had a shot from who didn't. Lucian's and Cassie's scores had firmly placed them in the running, most of the people Lucian had talked to scored in the eighties or lower, but more than a few had remained.
The second weeks tests had been rougher on him, his scores had dipped a little but Cassie's had climbed. Both of them were scoring in the mid to upper nineties but Lucian knew of several others who were as well. Prior to this week's tests he'd known of two or three guys in their platoon, and three or four in each of the others that were in the running. Cassie and he both hoped that no one else in their platoon made it, they were enjoying each other's company in their own section of the barracks, and so were their pokegirls.
Left alone in the barracks on a daily basis for hours on end with few chores to do the two pokegirls had begun to entertain themselves as only pokegirls could. Lucian had lost count of the number of times they had walked in on the two of them screwing around. Neither of them really cared that the two pokegirls screwed around. Lucian knew that if Koshka didn't stay occupied she'd get into trouble and not the kind that resulted in mutually enjoyable spanking. Cassie had told him that if Shauri didn't have something, or someone, to do the hyperactive pokegirl would have long ago gone stir crazy.
The prospect of adding two more girls to the mix seemed to have excited Shauri and Koshka as much and maybe even more than it had Lucian and Cassie. Anytime the two humans had started to flag, the two pokegirls had prodded them on, often with demonstrations of the things two pokegirls could do with one another. The demonstrations had been momentary distractions but ultimately encouraged them both.
Cassie watched Lucian as he pondered the question. Over the last three weeks she'd learned first hand that he could get discouraged sometimes, and this was one of them. "We'll make it, how hard we studied, we'll make it fashore." It was something she firmly believed, with all the studying they had done, how hard they'd worked at PT, and just how well they handled themselves the last three weeks.
"I hope so." Lucian said and left it at that.
When they began to climb the stairs to their barracks Cassie asked, "What time is it?"
Lucian checked his olive drab standard issue plastic watch, "About fifteen hundred, so we got three hours."
"Nuff time ta git changed relax ah bit an grab a bite ta eat fer we gots ta be 'ere."
"Yep," Lucian replied. Cassie was right though, he needed a shower. Even without PT in the morning the long day of tests had left him feeling tired and worn. They trudged across the wooden porch of the barracks and he held the door open for Cassie. She accepted his attempt at chivalry with a small smile and they went in.
The barracks was its usual self, nearly spotless at Barnes insistence. A few of their platoon mates had gotten back before they had and were settling in to do whatever it was they wanted to do in their free time. Some of them cast glances at Lucian and Cassie as they walked by, the usual mix of envy and annoyance from the usual people. They had both learned to just ignore them. Nothing they could say would change the fact that they had their own private section of the barracks and shared it with their pokegirls while these guys lived in a room with thirty other guys and no pokegirls. Life was just a bitch that way.
They reached the door to their section of the barracks and went in, only to stop in their tracks as they were greeted with a sight that had become the norm, Koshka and Shauri intertwined on Lucian's bed. On his bed Koshka was laying naked on her belly beneath Shauri. The Cheetits' bottom was sticking up in the air as well, her fuzzy white cheeks bare to the world. Both of the catgirl's tails were swaying back and forth as they relaxed and purred softly. The naked catgirls were enough to confirm what had happened; the mixed scent of their excitement thick in the air sealed it.
Cassie glanced over at Lucian and shook her head. He shrugged in reply and Cassie stomped forward to administer the usual mock punishment. Cassie reared her hand back and brought it down with a solid smack against Shauri's ass; but instead of taking off for their bed in a shot like she usually did the Cheetits just moaned. Cassie's head snapped around to look at Lucian in surprise. He snorted in surprise then started to grin, this could be fun.
Beneath Shauri's golden body Lucian saw Koshka turn her head to look at him. His little Kitten grinned wickedly at him, her eyes drawing down in her most wickedly pleased smirk. On top of her Shauri whimpered and rolled her hips making her bottom sway enticingly.
Lucian looked back at Cassie and smirked, "Do it again."
Cassie looked confused for a moment then snorted. She popped her pokegirl on the ass again and Shauri whined. Cassie's first playful swat had been fairly weak and Shauri pushed her bottom back, demanding more.
Lucian slipped into his cubicle and leaned against his locker. Koshka and Shauri's heads were right beside him on the left and his pokegirl smiled up at him. He didn't know how she'd convinced Shauri to do this, but he knew she had, the shit eating grin on her face told him that much. He knew she was getting some kind of thrill out of this and shortly he would too.
Cassie hesitantly gave Shauri another slap on her ass and again the Cheetits whined pitifully. Unsure of what to do Cassie glanced up at Lucian questioningly.
"Harder," he coached as he folded his arms across his chest. "She ain't gonna break."
The word itself made Shauri whimper and Cassie's next slap was her hardest yet and it made Shauri moan lewdly. Koshka even whimpered as the Cheetits' hips were forced down against her butt. Lucian kicked off his shoes and then peeled off his shirt, tossing them both off into the corner to get washed later. Cassie smacked her pokegirl's ass again, smiling at the way Shauri begged for more and then she noticed what he was doing. Her eyes widened until he shook his head and pointed down at Koshka.
Cassie smacked Shauri's tight ass again then reached up to her ear, tugging on the black furry appendage. Shauri whimpered pitifully and did as her tamer insisted, rising out of the bed and following along behind Cassie. Lucian was treated to a lovely view of the pokegirl's bare body as she was led away, first her long lean frame and pink capped white fur covered breasts, and then the bare cheeks of her ass as she was led back to her tamer's cubicle hunched over so as not to cause her captive ear any more aggravation.
Koshka watched her playmate be led away and frowned, until she looked back and saw her bare chested tamer and the look in his eye. Koshka's eyes brightened as he pulled off his pants and underwear and climbed into bed with her. Shauri was quickly forgotten as she rose up on her hands and knees. Her tail swayed back and forth behind her as she started to lick her lips, glancing back and forth between his eyes and his manhood.
"Merow?"
Lucian smirked at her, resting on his knees and watching her shuffle forward expectantly. Her sweet little mouth opened and she started to lower it towards his cock. He could feel her breath on his dick and saw her tongue starting to reach for him. "No."
Lucian looked up to see Cassie quickly squirming out of her own clothes before hopping into her own bed. The low wall of the cubicle kept him from seeing anything of the bed's occupant aside from Shauri's bottom and tail poking up into the air. He reached down and lifted Koshka's chin so that she'd look him right in the eye. "You've been a bad pokegirl." The chastisement sent a pleasured shiver through the catgirl's body. "You're not getting a treat." He slowly twirled his finger in front of Koshka's face.
Koshka did as she was told. She was disappointed not to get to blow her Master she'd learned to enjoy the feeling of his cock, its silky length sliding in and out of her mouth. It wasn't as good as him shoving it other places, but it was still fun and it let her feel his cock explode in her mouth filling it up with his yummy cum. She turned until her bottom was pointed at him, she started to spread her legs to give him access to her until she felt his hands on her ass pushing her. She let herself be pushed up to the head of the bed until she was face to face with the wall of the cubicle. Only her Master didn't stop pushing. With no where else to go Koshka sat up on her knees and placed her hands on the cubicle wall. Across the small hall that separated Lucian's area from Cassie's she could see her playmate laying across Cassie's lap. The human girl gave her pokegirl another spanking and Koshka shivered. She envied the Cheetits but was pleased that things had gone to plan. When Lucian's hands settled onto her hips she focused back on her Master.
"I leave you alone all day and this is what happens?"
Koshka giggled as his hands roamed her ass. She only "Nyao'd" in response, wiggling her tail at him.
"Think its funny?" Lucian asked. She shivered as his hand lightly popped her bottom just as Cassie's hand thwapped of Shauri's ass. Her pleased quiver made Lucian groan. "Now you've got Shauri as disobedient as you are." He popped her ass and sighed as Koshka started to purr.
Cassie looked up and saw the two of them perched on the edge of the cubicle watching the spanking. She hesitated, looking at the two of them and considering her own naked state and what she was doing. Turn about was fair after all. Shauri and her had watched Lucian give Koshka more than a few spankings since they'd arrived, they'd even watched them engage in quite a few other late night activities and she knew Lucian and Koshka had watched her and Shauri several times as well. She shrugged and gave Shauri another swat on her butt. The Cheetits was squirming in her lap by now and leaking her excitement all over Cassie's lap.
"You're hopeless," Lucian said.
Koshka only purred harder, she knew she was hopeless for her Master. His hand kept playing with her rear, his fingers digging into her cheeks, spreading them.
"I'd spank you, but you'd just get off." His finger tip trailed down the crease of her bottom and pressed against her asshole. "I'd fuck your cute little ass," he poked it in for half a second and pulled back out, returning his hands to her cheeks, "but you'd just get off on that too."
Koshka purred and wiggled her butt at him. Either one of those ideas sounded spectacular to her. "Meeeoww, maybe Master do both to Koshka?" she asked hopefully.
"No chance in hell you little slut." That he'd save for later, her cute little bubble butt was enticing but like he said, she'd enjoy it too much. A loud slap followed by a moan attracted his attention and he watched Cassie rub Shauri's butt after the latest spank. The cat-types purrs were loud enough to hear across the room and Cassie was getting into it.
Koshka was just as interested in the other pokegirl's spanking, shivering each time Cassie's hand met Shauri's ass. She leaned forward, eager to see every little detail. Lucian tightened his grip on her waist with his right hand as his left lined up his cock. He let Koshka rear up a little higher then pulled hard on her hips. Koshka let her Master do as he pleased and she rocked back obediently. Her faith in him was immediately rewarded as his familiar cock split her petals open and plunged into her pussy. Koshka's eyes closed and she held her breath as Lucian sheathed himself in her body, his smooth firm rod filling her so delightfully. As his cock filled her to competition he pulled her hands behind her back, his fingers entwining in the chain links of the restraints she never took off. With her wrists crossed behind her back he held onto them, not letting her go.
Lucian pressed his hips forward against Koshka's, without her hands to keep her up she had to lean forward until her belly rested on the dividing wall. She "Nyao"'d pitifully but Lucian only tightened his grip on her restraints, using them to make her arch her back. When he withdrew she whimpered even louder. He waited until Cassie's hand came back down on Shauri's butt to roughly thrust back into Koshka.
The sight of Cassie's hand connecting with her pokegirl's backside while her tamer buried his cock in her ripped a squeal from Koshka's throat. Cassie and Shauri both looked over at her and Koshka arched her back farther. Lucian pulled out again and slammed his cock home making Koshka squeal again. Cassie grinned at Lucian over his catgirl's shoulder before bending over to kiss Shauri's spanked bottom. Both pokegirls responded instantly and enthusiastically.
Shauri came the moment her Mistress' lips contacted her heated bottom. The attempted abuse of her posterior had driven her wild, just as Koshka had promised it would, and then the gentle way she kissed her right where she'd been spanked had sent her to heaven. She shivered and bowed up as her pussy spasmed, covering her tamer's thighs in her cream. Taking a cue from Lucian Cassie let her girl cum and waited patiently, planting little kisses across her bottom until Shauri started to come down from her orgasm. That's when Cassie spanked her again, hard.
Koshka had slammed her hips back into Lucian's when Cassie had kissed Shauri's ass, wanting to feel her Master in her when she saw it. Cassie spanked her golden catgirl again and Koshka squealed, she'd been on the receiving end but never gotten watch another pokegirl's ass get whipped like she'd had done to her. The Cheetits' lusty moans brought back all Koshka's memories of the times her Master had spanked her until her bottom was red and she'd been a panting ball of nerves, then he'd fuck her. The memories sent a thrill through body making ever nerve tingle. She could already feel her body winding up for an orgasm, playing with Shauri and talking about how they would get Shauri's human to take a hand to her had gotten her too worked and left her on edge. She was close and she didn't fight it, Lucian had just started on her and she knew he'd be good to go for a long time yet. Casting her herself into their taming she ground her bottom back against Lucian's hips, stirring his cock inside her. The hard tip rubbed against Koshka's g-spot and she came.
Lucian smirked as his catgirl coated his cock with her cream. He was enjoying every bit of watching Cassie spank her pokegirl. He'd never had a mirror in his room to let him watch Koshka get spanked and that was a mistake he would need to correct now. For a fleeting moment he wondered what it might look like if Cassie spanked Koshka.
Koshka giggled as Lucian's cock surged in her pussy, swelling momentarily. She didn't know what dirty thought had passed through his mind but she hoped he'd act on it. Her cream was starting to leak down her legs but she didn't care, her orgasm had relaxed her body. She stopped trying to pull her arms away from Lucian's grip and let herself relax on the dividing wall. She let her body be used by her Master for his pleasure, she knew she'd be rewarded again, and it was just too heavenly to get to watch the other girls while Lucian fucked her.
When Cassie rolled Shauri over and started to kiss her way up the Cheetits' legs Shauri trembled in anticipation. There had been a time long before where she might have been revolted by the thought of a woman touching her, now she begged for Cassie's touch whenever she was nearby. When her Mistress' lips touched hers she grabbed the sheets, her claws trying to rip them to shreds but their reinforced structure held, barely. When Cassie's tongue parted her petals she began to whine in anticipation. Her first orgasm had barely taken the edge off, but the second one that whipped through her body when Cassie's tongue pressed into her left a limp rag doll on the bed.
Cassie rubbed her cheek against the inside of her pokegirl's thigh, enjoying the soft short white fur there. She licked the taste of Shauri from her lips with relish the taste of her pokegirl was wonderful to her. The deep contented purring of her Shauri was just as good. The Cheetit didn't resist at all when Cassie raised one of her legs into the air and straddle the other one. Her purring even increased as her Mistress pressed her pussy against hers and began to rock back and forth.
Shauri looked up at her Mistress with adoration in her eyes and smiled. Cassie's favorite way to tame her had become her favorite way to be tamed. Cassie's smile mirrored her own as she settled into a rhythm until Shauri thrust up to meet her and Cassie's eyes closed in pleasure. Shauri peeked around her Mistress and saw Koshka leaning over her cubicle, her arms pinned behind her back but seemingly as relaxed as Shauri felt. The other pokegirl blew her a kiss and sighed in pleasure as her tamer had his way with her. Shauri could feel Cassie's nectar starting to collect on her leg and she knew that Lucian would leave Koshka's pussy a mess, when their humans gave them a chance she knew the pokegirls would greatly enjoy cleaning each other off.
For the next half hour the room was filled with the sounds of flesh rubbing against flesh and the throaty cries of pleasure from its four occupants. Shortly there after it was silent as all four of them fell into a restful post-coital nap.
***********************
Lucian and Cassie hurried out the front door of the barracks, still pulling on and tidying up their clothes, taking the steps to ground level two or three at a time. The quick shower they'd managed to take had cleaned off most of the smells they'd accumulated in the last few hours but they hadn't been quick enough to make it to dinner in time. After all the exertion both their stomachs were rumbling but they were not going to chance the Sergeant's ire just to grab a snack. The canteen would be open all night.
"I can't believe we fell asleep!" Lucian gasped as his feet hit the gravel.
"Ah can't believe ah slept through tha snorin'," Cassie replied. They both made the turn onto the main drag through the camp and slowed to a comfortable trot. They had enough time to make it to the mess hall, but not much extra.
As the sun set it had cast the entire camp in a red-orange glow that Lucian hadn't seen before. He was finishing off his dinner in the mess at this time of night and if not he'd be in his room, studying furiously with Cassie. The sun's warm glow made the camp seem homey, maybe even serene. There were few people out and about, most of the students and trainers were in the mess hall already and only the camp's other personnel and pokegirls were moving about. The lights of the camp hadn't yet snapped on to bathe everything in the harsh light of their arc lamps. The people moving about could cast long shadows across the open training fields and buildings scattered everywhere. Even those simple buildings slapped together out of concrete block and two by fours looked almost happy in the soft yellow light.
As he and Cassie trotted down the rough gravel path a feeling that regardless of what ever else might happen in his life, this was a time to be remembered. A time that was fit to be savored. Three weeks ago he'd met Cassie and Shauri for the first time right before being thrown into this camp. It hadn't been easy, physically it had been challenging and mentally he'd never worked harder for good grades. He wasn't sure where they were going after this, he still wasn't even sure if they'd finish, but he sincerely hoped that wherever they went it was together.
His revelry was broken as their feet hit the small covered porch at the entrance to the mess hall. Cassie looked over at him and drawled, "Oh fer tha love ah gawd, she really does suck yer brains out yer dick don't she? Wipe 'at stupid grin off yer face fer someone thinks yer takin' a shine ta me."
Lucian just chuckled and opened the door, letting her in and following after. Inside the mess hall was a buzz; most of their classmates had arrived long before and only the slowest were finishing up and carrying their trays off to be washed. At the far end of the long building was a raised stage high enough for anyone sitting at the long tables and benches of the room to see anyone on it clearly. On it were the trainers, Paulson, Wilkins and Mitchel who were standing around Barnes discussing something that was on a clipboard Barnes was holding.
Lucian and Cassie found seats near the center of the room quickly. Where there had once been a hundred and thirty eight prospective tamers there were now only a hundred and nine. The formerly packed mess hall was no longer quite as crowded as it had once been. The long tables running the length of the mess had once been packed full of recruits, now there were plenty of spaces open. They managed to slip into their seats only moments before the last of the recruits dumping off their trays sat back down.
On stage the four trainers seemed to wrap up whatever it had been they'd been discussing. Sergeant Barnes moved to the front of stage while the rest of them stood behind him at loose attention. "Alright, listen up!" Barnes barked. Without any microphone or speakers, and no apparent raising of his voice over his normal tone his voice carried throughout the hall. "You all have completed your first term of training, congratulations."
A few people clapped and tried to cheer but the gruff sergeant was having none of it. "But twenty nine of you didn't!" Immediately the cheering and clapping ceased. "And the odds are good another seventeen or more of you will join them. When I said a third of you will fail I wasn't making a joke. I've sent half a class of recruits home before because they couldn't cut it." The Sergeant's eyes scanned the room, lingering on a face here and there. "In the Orange League we don't have room or time to deal with assholes who aren't up to snuff."
For a short moment Lucian thought he thought he saw Barnes crack a grin. "However tonight is to reward those of you who are ahead of the curve, who aren't fuck ups, and who might just see this through to the end." Barnes looked to the right and motioned someone to come out onto the stage. Five pokegirls walked out onto the stage forming a line to the Sergeant's right.
Lucian's mind went into overdrive as he began trying to puzzle out what the girls could be.
The pokegirl on the right and closest to Barnes was covered in feathers with only her torso bare to the world, from the insides of her thighs up to her shoulders. She wasn't shy about it either as she didn't wear a stitch of clothing. Her plum colored plumage formed wide wings coming off the back of her arms. A wide green tail spread out behind her, the tip of it held off the ground and well behind her. A high crest of the same green feathers erupted from the top of her head and cascaded down to her back. Her head moved quickly, bobbing from side to side as she scanned the assembled recruits, many of whom we're leering back at her.
The next girl to the left was covered in ice blue fur from her foot long ears that stood well above her head down to the soles of her digitigrade legs. A bushy tail wagged behind her, drawing attention to the much deeper blue tip. The same deep blue fur covered her forearms and hands along with her feet. When she twisted to the side to look at another of the girls Lucian could see an elongated diamond shaped patch of fur in the small of her back the same color as the tip of her tail. Her slightly muzzled face was framed by pale gray hair that she had cut short and swept back over most of her head. Her face was framed by two long bangs that hung low enough to rest on the tops of the girl's breasts, their dark blue tips contrasting with the small white tube top and skin tight shorts she wore.
The pokegirl after the pale blue girl looked like a normal human girl at first glance. Shorter than the others, only a bit over a meter and a half tall, her long black hair was pulled up behind her head in a ponytaurtail. Her green eyes were a deep rich hue, but nothing that would be remarkable in this day and age. Her body was hidden a deep green kimono that she had pulled her hands into. What was distinctive about her wasn't her appearance, it was the aura of energy she projected. The air throughout the mess hall positively crackled as she cast her gaze about. Lucian glanced down at his arm and saw every hair on it standing on end. The girl spread her arms apart and lightning crackled between the empty voids of her sleeves, her hands well hidden deep in their folds.
The next to the last girl paid little attention to the assembled recruits. She made it appear that she was far too busy cleaning the long nails of her right hand. Fussing at them with the long green claws that tipped her left hand as if removing the remains of a meal. She shifted her weight off her left foot to her right, making the chitinous plates that covered her body slip over one another, creaking as the tendons that connected them to her skeleton flexed. A thick stinger tipped tail unfurled from her left to her right leg, wrapping around it and showing off the red coloration on its top. She arms and shoulders were covered with the same living armor as her legs and her black hair spilled out around the plates that framed her head and face. Long antenna curled above her head and Lucian though he could hear a clicking sound as her mouth moved. Only a few armored plates wrapped around from the girl's back to her sides to protect areas like her ribs and hips, but most of her torso was bare, the bug type forgoing any human clothing at all. He suspected that the girl was playing the recruits, after all most of them had been cooped up with nothing but their classmates for weeks.
It was the last girl in the line that drew Lucian's immediate attention however. The girl was a cat type, of that there was no doubt and an anthormorph to boot. Unlike Koshka who could pass for a human if she wore a hat and tucked in her tail this girl would never be mistaken for anything but a pokegirl. Her coat of sleek orange fur was well groomed, but not immaculate, a few unruly tufts twirled in little cowlicks on her hip and shoulder. Vivid green stripes wrapped around her chest, legs and arms, markings similar to a Tigress' but the wrong color. Her belly was covered in a short downy fur of pure white that continued up to her throat and under her chin to her muzzle and down to the insides of her thighs. The same white fur covered the tips of her toes and the ends of her fingers. Her feline ears poked up through her short green hair, twitching this way and that, listening as the assembled young men discussed what they were seeing. Her modesty was protected only slightly by the strips of chocolate colored cloth draped around her hips and chest. Lucian was staring straight at her as her jade eyes swept across his, for a moment their eyes locked, her whiskers twitched, and the she smiled mischievously at him as she went on her way, taking in the rest of the hall.
"Whata ya think hun?" Cassie asked.
Lucian broke his gaze away from the catgirl and leaned towards Cassie. "The orange one," he whispered.
Cassie considered this for a moment before nodding. "I want 'at blue one."
"The Eva evolution?"
"Yeah, 'at one."
Barnes let the students talk amongst themselves until their voices began to rise towards a dull roar. The bug-type looked up finally and rolled her obsidian eyes at the uproar. Barnes stepped forward and barked a familiar line. "Shut the FUCK UP!" The recruits had learned some of their lessons very well. All conversation stopped instantly. "Most of you limp dicks are going back to the barracks empty handed and you know who you are. So I don't know what the hell you're getting excited about."
Lucian could only hope that his studying had paid off and he wouldn't be one of them going back with no reward.
"I'll call the names of the lucky bastards, come up here and choose your girl then sit your ass down." Barnes raised his clipboard and smiled faintly, a gesture that usually elicited terror in the recruits. "Of course the first on of ya'll isn't bastard but a lucky bitch. Cassie Suthorn, pick your girl."
Lucian yelped in excitement as Cassie gasped. She stared in shock as she tried to grasp what Barnes had just said. With a shove Lucian pushed her to her feet and propelled her towards the stage. Whatever hesitation she might have had initial was overcome when she was pushed to her feet. He watched her trim little bottom wiggle in her olive drab pants as she hustled to the stage. She wasted no time in pointing towards the pale blue girl. "The Eva," she said triumphantly.
Both the sergeant and the selected girl raised an eyebrow in curiosity, but neither complained. Barnes took a pokeball from Aki and tossed it towards Cassie. Cassie caught the baseball sized technological wonder and dropped it in one of the pockets on the side of her olive drab pants. The Eva dutifully hopped off the stage and followed behind her new Mistress a respectful few paces. Cassie strutted back to her spot next to Lucian, enjoying the way the other recruits stared daggers at her for collecting a second pokegirl and the way they lusted after her new Eva. With a grin that could swallow a Snorlass whole she flopped back down into her chair, offering her hand to her new pokegirl. When the Eva took it Cassie pulled her hand closer and placed a kiss on it before guiding her girl to stand beside her.
Seeing Cassie win the first girl buoyed Lucian's spirits, he hadn't done as well as she had, but he'd been close. With any luck...
"Mark Jobas."
...no luck. Lucian felt himself deflate, his shoulders slumping. Two out of five down, the only saving grace was that he was from a different platoon. The lucky stiff hustled to the front of the hall and pointed at the caster girl in the middle. As soon as he had her pokeball he recalled her in a flash of light and held the 'ball up triumphantly. A few scattered applause greeted his display, but far more jeers were tossed his way. Including a quiet "Boo," from Lucian, at least he'd stayed away from the catgirl.
"Daniel Lewis."
"Fuck," Lucian muttered under his breath. Three down, two to go, but again a different platoon. Cassie placed her hand on his knee and squeezed. Her reassurance was welcome, but it didn't change anything. Daniel was as quick as Cassie and the other had been, until he got to the stage. Looking between the bird, bug, and cat type he seemed to pause, unsure of which one he wanted. Lucian felt the bottom fall out of his guts as the boy stared long and hard at the cat type.
"Make a fucking choice already!" Barnes snarled.
Daniel jumped half and inch and quickly pointed. "The bug type."
Another pokeball handed out, another girl recalled, but the cat type was still up there, so there was some hope still...
"Lucian Graner."
"HAHA!" Cassie cheered, slapping him on the knee.
Lucian bolted up out of his chair, his feet propelling him down the aisle at a trot before his mind could really process what he'd heard. As soon as his head caught up with his feet he shouted, "The cat type!" while still in the middle of the tables and ten meters from the stage.
Barnes snorted and tossed a pokeball easily Lucian's way. Lucian snagged it out of the air and quickly pocketed it. Seeing that Lucian had no intention of 'balling her the catgirl slipped off the stage and strutted down the aisle towards him. Lucian stopped and watched his new pokegirl come to him. The dark brown cloth that hung in front of her treasure and across her tits swung loosely back and forth, constantly in danger of exposing her but never quite making it, always tantalizingly close. Her eyes connected with his and held him in a smoldering embrace as she stalked him. He knew he had a goofy grin on his face as she came his way and didn't care. Goofy turned to triumphant when he turned back to his seat and saw the envious faces of his classmates glaring back at him. Cassie winked at him as he sat down again and patted his lap. The catgirl licked her lips as she slid into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning her face close to his.
"Duncan Houseff."
Barnes called out the last person to get a pokegirl and Lucian barely noticed. He heard Cassie hiss out a quick triumphant, "Yes!" when she realized the last guy wasn't in their platoon. The knowledge made Lucian crack a grin but nothing was getting his eyes away from his new pokegirl. For her part the catgirl stared right back, her dark pink tongue coming out to lick the line of her thin black lips.
Lucian shifted around in the chair, trying to get more comfortable. The catgirl was a light weight in his lap but he couldn't get comfortable no matter how he twisted around. He couldn't understand why he was starting to feel so warm until the girl giggled and murmured, "What's the matter Masssster?" Her breath was like sticking his head near an open oven. His eyes went wide as he realized the heat he was feeling wasn't only in anticipation of what the rest of the night and tomorrow would bring, the catgirl was like holding a radiator in his lap.
The pokegirl hissed her pleasure when she felt a stirring in his lap; she leaned close and let her heated breath caress his face.
Lucian responded by wrapping his arms around her waist and running his fingers through her fur. The short hairs on the small of her back were shorter and stiffer than Koshka's long soft fur. He rubbed the spot right above her tail, wondering if she'd enjoy it as much as his first pokegirl. The catgirl started to purr immediately, pushing her rump towards his hand.
"Getting an early start?" Cassie teased. Her own pokegirl stood dutifully at her side, looking around the room. Lucian admired her self control until he saw the eva-girl's tail twitching back and forth unnaturally. She saw him looking at her pokegirl and she chuckled. She smiled and shrugged at him, but didn't stop.
"Alright," Barnes said from the stage, "to those of you who just got the good news, congratulations and enjoy your night and day off. To those of you who didn't, I suggest you start to take this shit more seriously. Ya'll have still got a long way to go. You have tomorrow off, no PT, no classes, enjoy it. You're dismissed, except for Graner and Suthorn. Drop your new girls off and then report to my office."
Lucian paused in mid scratch. "Sonofa..."
"Bitch." Cassie finished.
Lucian's hands fell away from the catgirl and she, "Rowr'd," in annoyance. He saw a few of his classmates grinning at their misfortune as they filed past. Lucian tried to hide his own disappointment from them and knew he failed miserably. With a disgusted sigh he pushed his catgirl to her feet and headed for the door. Cassie followed suit, with both their pokegirls in tow.
He stepped outside to find the sun down and the camp illuminated by a few select floodlights. He looked up a the stars and felt Cassie slide up beside him. "What do you think he wants?"
"Who knows hun, who knows. Let's just git it o'er wit."
"Yeah, we've got better things to do tonight," Lucian quipped as he glanced meaningfully back over his shoulder.
Cassie looked back as well and spotted their newest pokegirls sizing each other up. "Fa' sure hun, fa sure."
