"So, girls," I got their attention, as I exited the bathroom. My shower didn't take too long, just a quick in and out.
"One of the drops from the second boss, was something interesting. A spell that lets me turn Pokemon into an anthropomorphic version of themselves." Absol gave me a confused look, but Kaorah knew what I was talking about, already, having seen one of the Zoroark's transformations.
"Sounds…interesting. We need to try that out." I quickly brushed that mental image aside. It didn't stop the warmth that came to my face. "Absol, to explain, it's basically you, but with a humanoid shape to your body. So basically, it'll be as though you're half human, half Absol. In appearance anyway. You'll still be a full blood Absol, not a hybrid." She nodded at my explanation.
"By the way…I wanted to ask you something. I'm going to start calling you Solais.I wanted to know first, what do you think about it?" I gave her some time to consider. "I like it. It's better than being called Absol all the time." I packed up the things I'd taken out, then put my bag on, putting my head and left arm through the strap and setting it down on my right shoulder. I prefer shoulder bags like this, over backpacks.
"Well, what do you gals say to going down to get some breakfast, then going out and going around town for a little bit." They both nodded in agreement. I did one last check to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything, then we went out, turning off the lights and locking the door behind us. Nurse Joy was asleep at her station, her head laying on her hands. She must've forgotten to go to bed, over night. That can't be healthy. Although…they don't ever mention changing shifts, or closing overnight, so…I'unno.
I gently knocked on the desk. I wasn't intending to startle her, but it did. She jumped in her seat, waking up quickly. "Huh, wha…oh. Good morning." I smiled at her, then pulled the room key from my pocket. "Good morning. We're checking out today." She nodded, then took the key from my hand and put it away. "Oh…I don't remember you having...an Absol."
"Caught her recently, although I can't say where." I replied. Joy started to register her for my records. "She has a nickname, Solais." Nurse Joy nodded, and continued typing away. "We're going to go get breakfast, would you like some coffee? You look like you need it."
"Please, if you don't mind. We had a…large crowd, come in last night.They uh…all said something about an incident about a quarter of the way through the Viridian forest, and all…came back here. So, I was up most of the night helping them." Oh, now I understand. Must've been related to Gary in some way.
"They left Pallet town ahead of Ash and I, yesterday. I know which one you're talking about." I started for the Center's dining area. "I'll bring you a cup of Coffee. Want anything with it?"
"Just some creamer, please." I continued on. The soft clicking of my Pokemon's claws tapping on the floor, behind me. The Audino that brought room service last night was up, setting out food for the breakfast bar. "Mornin' Audino." I greeted him. "Huh? Oh, good morning." He immediately noticed Solais. "Where did she come from?"
"Caught her, not too long ago. I can't say how I caught her, since it's something meant to be a pretty big secret, and it's not the secret you're likely thinking of." He just nodded and continued on with his work. I helped Kaorah and Solais with fixing their own food, and set it by a table. Then I went over to the coffee machine. I took a few packs of creamer, and a stirring stick, and set those on a small plate. Then I grabbed a mug and filled it up. I'd let Nurse Joy mix it to the way she wanted.
I once confused one of those stirring sticks for an extremely thin straw. I wish I was kidding about that, but I'm not. Someone handed me an actual straw, at least.
Anyway, I took what I'd put together to Nurse Joy, who thanked me for it. She started to pull the small creamer containers open as I walked away. I returned to the dining area, and went over to the table with all the food on it, and began to fix myself a plate. I went for some pancakes, with syrup and butter, and some sausage and bacon. I also fixed myself a cup of coffee, and took what I wanted to mix in.
With my breakfast put together, I went to the table that Solais and Kaorah settled next to. I set my plate and my cup down, then pulled the chair at my spot out and sat down, before digging into my breakfast. I let Pidgey out of his ball, too. He decided that he'd be fine with just an Oran berry, but he was smaller than the rest of us, so he didn't need to eat as much.
"Hey guys." Misty made her presence known. "Good morning Misty." I replied to her greeting with one of my own, then continued eating. I guess Ash isn't up yet. Misty sat down with us. Which is the moment when she also noticed Solais. "So…which one is that?"
"That's Solais, she's an Absol, my third team member." Solais poked her head up, for a moment, then continued eating. "Her species is pure Dark type. They're able to sense when bad things are going to happen, and they often appear ahead of time, in an attempt to warn people. It's happened often enough that they're called the Disaster Pokemon." I started to rub Solais' back, between her shoulders. She leaned up into it. "Unfortunately…this has led to quite a lot of people really disliking them." I stopped, allowing Solais to go back to eating.
"They're most common in Hoenn, but some other regions have them, too."
"So, how did you catch yours?" I could lie and say I visited Hoenn, overnight, but it would be very obvious. "It's…meant to be a secret. Maybe I'll tell you, and Ash, one day…but not today." She stared at me for a moment, before shrugging and starting to eat her own breakfast. My team and I finished ours long before she did. "My team and I are going to go out and look around the city. We might stop by the Poke Mart, and potentially go on ahead to Pewter. If we do, we'll see you and Ash when you get there."
At Misty's nod, I got up from my seat, and cleaned up my spot, including wiping my part of the table down, and the same for Solais and Kaorah's own spots. Once I was done cleaning everything up, I started to leave, my team following behind. "I'll tell Ash you're going on ahead. So you guys can go on." I waved over my shoulder at Misty.
We stepped out, into the very early morning. The sun had just started to rise. The scent that follows heavy rain was strong in the air. Another storm must've come through overnight. It wasn't raining when Team Rocket attacked, at least. That'd make the mess even worse. "What region are we in?" Solais asked.
"This is Viridian City, in Kanto." I answered her. We started to head to the Poke Mart. The layout is…a bit different, from the games, but we were able to find what we were looking for. The Marts are even bigger than in the games. "Ah, first customers. Good morning." The cashier greeted us as we walked in. "Good morning. Just going to look around for a little bit." I answered.
"Just let me know if you need help finding anything." I nodded. "Oh, they'll have to wait outside, if you don't want to put them back in their balls. The Pidgey's fine, so long as it stays on your shoulder." I nodded. "I'll be just a few minutes, girls. You can wait right out here." They nodded, and went back outside. "Sorry, it's just that some Marts have had…damage, from certain species of Pokemon in the past. It's better to just ask them to remain outside, but we do have some exceptions."
"Hey, I understand. Better than risking damage to the shelves and/or what's on them." I then grabbed a buggy (shopping cart, for those who don't call them buggies) and started to look around. Supplies for the journey had priority. I stocked up on what I could afford, without using up too much of the 30K that I had gotten. To be clear, I started with 20K, and the rest came from the dungeon earlier.
I grabbed what I believed we'd need. The food and camping supplies, mostly. But also stocked up on medical supplies for a first aid kit, and grabbed some extra Pokeballs. "Is this everything?" I nodded. He went through scanning the things I'd grabbed. The final total came up to 10,000. CHA hasn't started to affect prices yet, I don't think.
The cashier dug out a bunch of item balls. Though they resemble Pokeballs, they're actually much smaller. We then started to store everything within, and then put the balls in my bag. These little things are definitely convenient.
We got it all packed up, and I secured my bag, again. The Item Balls just mean that I don't need to give away my abilities, yet. It also helps that we had the means to mark all of them, so I'd be able to much more easily sort things, when I start to move it into my inventory.
"Have a good day. You guys heading up to Pewter?" I nodded, then replied. "Yup. I don't know what pace my team's going to go at, but that's where we're headed."
"Well then, safe travels." The door slid shut as I went outside, cutting off any further conversation. "Got everything?" Kaorah asked. "Yup. Let's get on the road to Pewter. While I'd like to look around for a bit, I think it's better if we get to Pewter faster." The gals got up from the ground, and we started on our way.
When we left the City Limits and entered Viridian Forest, Kaorah spoke up. "So, about that spell you got…the Anthro one. I…want to try it."
"Are you sure?" She nodded. "Alright. It's not permanent, I can cast it on you to revert your form, but just be aware, if my perception picks up another trainer, I'll have to turn you back." At her nod, I brought up the spell. It drained a solid one hundred from my mana to charge it up, and I needed both hands. I cast the spell on Kaorah. She immediately began to shift.
Her new form, took on a shape similar to the Wraith, from Evolve. A muscular build, but one befitting a dragoness, without being excessive. Of course, there were differences, for sure. Such as her waist not being so long, and her legs and tail not being a set of tendrils. Her upper body, also, wasn't bulky, especially since she only had two arms, not four. She also, for obvious reasons, lacked a belly button. Her arms changing shape, meant that instead of just a pair of claws, she now had actual hands. Three fingers on each, with opposing thumbs. They still had, small yet sharp, claws on their tips. Her breasts were at a size that perfectly fit with the rest of her build, just a little above average size, for how big the rest of her was, that is. Especially since she's just a few inches taller than I am, because of her legs being the way they are. Her hips slimmed, although not to a point where they'd be unable to support her tail. Or laying eggs for that matter, not that we can produce any.
The spikes on her upper arms, and thighs, flattened against her limbs, rather than sticking out as they had normally. Her dorsal fin also shifted, smoothing itself against her back, making it appear shorter, in that it didn't stick out from her back, as far, yet longer, in that its tip now touched against the base of her tail. Her head and neck both maintained their position, though her neck lost just a little length, and width. Her head changed, too. It had become shorter, with the two pods on either side sinking inwards. Her face didn't really change, at all. Her breasts lacked nipples, as she had no need for them. Since her kind, like all Pokemon, laid eggs.
And also because Pokemon seem to be able to eat solid foods, right out of the egg.
I had to catch her so she didn't fall. Her sense of balance was likely off. "Woah…I wasn't expecting this." It's a shame that there's not a pond nearby so she could see herself. "I didn't think it would quite turn out like this, either. You look gorgeous." She blushed lightly. "Thank you."
"Here's the thing though, your new body shape means that you would need to wear clothes, in towns and the like. Your new human-like body means that walking around as you always do might be viewed as public indecency. And, also…being seen in your current form anyway, might cause some…other issues." She nodded in understanding.
"Hey…I'm going to turn you back now. I'll let you try this form out again, later." She sighed in disappointment, but nodded. Another decent drain on my mana, and I cast the spell again. Kaorah returned to her normal form. If we ever actually end up doing Mystery Dungeon, I'll definitely try to get it so that she and I have anthro forms.
"What do you think that form would be like in bed?" And…that's a mental image that got a blush. And a rush of blood to somewhere else. I put a hand to my face to make sure my nose wasn't going to start dripping. "There are others who don't want to hear your discussion." Solais told us off. "Now, let's keep going."
"Fine. Let's go." We started our walk again. The map feature that I used in the dungeon earlier, turns out it works outside of them, too. I was able to use it to track our progress through Viridian Forest. The PER range was lighting up with small dots, from all the Pokemon around us. All white dots, which I think I should explain. White dots are all neutral. Blue dots are allied Humans. Yellow dots are allied Pokemon, there were three of those right up on me, indicating my team. Red dots were hostile Humans, and orange dots were hostile Pokemon.
It was noon by the time we reached our half-way point. There was a thunderous crashing sound as we were about to stop for a break. Solais sighed, loudly. "There WAS a small feeling of danger, and whatever that was, just got rid of it." We picked up the pace, following the sound…to a large pit trap, with Team Rocket lying in the bottom. "Well now, what have we here?" The sound of my voice drew their attention upwards.
"So, what did y'all think you were going to do, huh? Was that a little trap for my team?" I grinned down at them. "Maybe, you shouldn't try so hard to steal a single Pokemon, when you can just go to Sinnoh and catch your own." I was referring to Kaorah. "Or in the case of a Pikachu, just look around Viridian Forest, and try to find your own one." I shook my head. "Whelp, good luck getting out of that pit. I sure as heck ain't helpin' ya." My team and I continued on, leaving Team Rocket to figure out their own way out…only to stop. "Actually…Kaorah, why don't you send them on a flight?"
"Gladly." She turned towards the pit, and started to run. She leapt over the side and dropped in. With a loud bang, the ground shook, and the three idiots were shot out of the hole they dug, like it was the barrel of a cannon. I watched them shoot through the canopy, and off into the sky. Too bad that they didn't have Wobbuffet, yet.
It didn't take Kaorah too long to climb out. We decided to sit down for a quick break. Pidgey took off from his usual spot on my shoulder, deciding to go and fly around for a bit. Though he could just fly as we're walking, it's his choice what he wants to do. I decided to try something with Solais while we were resting. I reached over and started to gently scratch the side of her neck, just a little behind her jaw.
Her eyes widened and she started to lean into my touch, very quickly. Although, she's not a cat, it seems to still feel good. To the point that she decided she wanted the other side done, too. I let her continue to enjoy it for a few more seconds before I finally stopped. I'll need to see about getting a brush for her fur. It'll really help when she starts to shed, especially since I wear black, a lot.
White fur shows up really easily on dark colors, for those who've never had pets who have fur. "So, what was that for?" She asked, as soon as she recovered. "I just wanted to see if you'd like it. Looks like you did." She slowly nodded. "If you ever tell anyone about that, I'll have to hurt you." I responded with a laugh. Kaorah's response was just a snort, but she knew Solais was joking.
The sound of flapping wings drew our attention skyward. Pidgey swooped down from above, and I held out an arm. He landed, without issue. Really need to figure out a nickname, for the lad. "Well everyone, ready to get going?" Their agreement was unanimous. I let Pidgey retake his usual place on my shoulder, then stood up with some assistance from Kaorah, and then we continued on our way.
Break
It was early afternoon as we reached the other end of the forest, and emerged from it, into Pewter City. I've seen a map of the Anime version of Kanto, and I know for a fact that the Viridian forest is much bigger in that map than the games. Either Celebi and/or the Creation Trio gifted my team with incredible fast travel powers that secretly activate on long roads, or it's really not as long as the Anime makes it.
Which is weird, because the trip from Palette to Viridian only took a day, and all of us were walking…well, up until the point with the thunderstorm. I think something screwy is going on with the timescale, but it's probably better to ignore it. I don't want a headache from trying to understand the flow of time. Leave that to Celebi and Dialga.
"I don't remember the trip through Viridian being that short for folks on foot." And, Pidgey agrees. "Better that we don't question it, I've decided." I told him. "It's not worth the headache." The bird responded with a nod. Our first stop in Pewter, the Pokemon Center.
The Nurse Joy here, waved to us as we entered. "Good afternoon, everyone. My sister told me you'd be coming up from Viridian, earlier today." Did she? That's nice, guess it was a form of thanks for getting her some coffee earlier. "Tell her I said thanks, for sending word ahead." I responded. I'd realized when we got back to our room from the dungeon earlier, the blood from the enemies Kaorah killed…didn't stay on her claws when she reverted to her base form. Thank goodness for that. It would cause way too many questions, at best. At worst…best not to be thought about.
"Here you go," she handed me a key, "enjoy your stay."
"Thanks. Actually…I'm here for another reason, too." I took out my Trainer ID, and handed it to her. "I'd like to sign up for the Kanto gym challenge." she took my card from my hand. "Generally, folks start the challenge at ten years old." She shrugged. "Well, most regions anyway. Whatever. I'll get you signed up, it'll be just a moment." Most, because of Unova's starting at 14.
As she began to set up a file for the gym challenge, I heard the door slide open, behind me. And the other repeat character reveals herself, from the other family of look-alikes. "Good afternoon, Officer Jenny." I spoke, as I turned to face her. I carefully leaned back on the counter, making sure there wasn't anything to knock over first. "Oh, good afternoon. Haven't seen you around here before." I'm surprised my group didn't encounter the one down in Viridian.
"My team and I just got here." Her Arcanine got close to us, and started to sniff the air, familiarizing himself with our scents. Just in case they needed to find us. "That scent on you two." Directed at Kaorah and I. "I know that scent. You two smell of each other, in a way you shouldn't. But…just this once, I'll let it slide. I can tell you, trainer, aren't a bad person. I can tell it's genuine, not forced or conditioned. I'm not a Ranger's partner, but if any sort of investigation focused on you has to come up, I will have to reveal this information."
I nodded, in understanding and in thanks. "After all…" He glanced at Jenny, and I saw the tiniest hint of a blush. "Even Pokemon partnered to Police, and Rangers, sometimes fall for their partners."
"That's the most I've ever heard him say, even if I can't understand it." Jenny commented on her partner's speech. "You must've done something special. He isn't getting aggressive, so I know it's not bad."
"You could say that…I guess." I replied. "I can understand Pokemon, very clearly. It's a thing I think everyone should try to learn. It will only make our bonds stronger." I said. "In fact…Lucarios, Zoruas, Zoroarks, and possibly even the Psychic type as a whole, can teach us all. And even if they don't teach us, then at least be our translators. I mean, Team Rocket has a Meowth who can speak English, so it's possible for us to learn to understand each other on that level. It would just take a lot of time."
"Hey, you should release that idea to the world, so if it catches on, you get credit for it." Nurse Joy suggested. She then handed me my ID card, which I put back in my wallet. Not too long after, she handed me a badge case. "And here you go, you're registered and ready to run the Gym Challenge."
"Thanks. It seems like it'll be pretty fun." I put the case in my other back pocket. "I'll show you to the gym, if you'd like." Officer Jenny offered.
"Sure, and hey, gives us a chance to talk a bit more." We all, minus Nurse Joy, of course, left the Pokemon Center together. "The current Gym Leader, Brock, has his hands full with family, most of the time." I chose to remain silent, so she could speak. "But, he's in right now. The last few challengers from yesterday's group, just left this morning." Probably Gary and that group of cheerleaders of his.
"Some of my neighbors from back in Pallet, probably." I replied. "So, how did you get through Viridian Forest so fast?" I responded with a shrug. "Dunno. Maybe it was Celebi and/or Dialga helping to speed things along, or maybe I have some sort of hidden fast travel ability."
"I don't…know who either of those are." I'm not surprised. They aren't really known by many, which is a shame. Especially in Dialga's case, due to his assistance in creating the universe. "Well, we're here." We had reached the gym. The door's motion sensor detected us, and it slid open. "Good luck." I nodded in reply, and headed inside. The gym's leader, Brock, was already inside, apparently waiting for any challenger to come in. He stood up from his place as we approached the challenger's side of the field.
"Welcome, challenger." I lifted a hand and waved. "For this battle, we will each only use two Pokemon. You're allowed to freely swap out yours at will." I nodded in understanding. "We will continue until both Pokemon on one side have been knocked out. Please, send your first."
Some citizens from the city outside, gathered within the stands on either side.
"Solais, you're first." She stepped onto the field. The sound of an opening ball, drew my gaze to Brock's side of the field, where his Geodude had taken up position. I silently cast observe.
Geodude
Gender: Male
Level 11 (Pokemon Standards)
HP: 120/120
Ability: none
Equipped moveset: Tackle.
It's odd that his Geodude didn't have an ability. Also, it's nice that the system updated information, to differentiate between Pokemon and Player EXP and levels. "I don't believe I've seen one of her species around here, before. What is she?"
"She's an Absol, they're most common in Hoenn. She's a pure Dark Type." I answered. "Well, shall we begin?" Brock responded with a nod. Solais broke into a run as soon as the signal to start was given. "Geodude, tackle." I heard Brock order. Solais allowed herself to be hit, only to punish the attack with Payback.
And she hit him, hard. While the Geodude didn't have a weakness to her type, Solais hitting back with payback definitely did some damage. And also, Brock realized in that moment why I didn't say anything about dodging. "Back off, and start hitting from a distance, with Rock Throw." No problem.
"Solais, don't let him get any distance." She kept up the pressure. She didn't let that Geodude gain any distance from her. Constant use of PER boosted Detect, meant that his attacks wouldn't get through her guard. I saw the red flashing around her horn, an indication of her use of Swords Dance, mixing it into her dodging and defending. But her blocking also added in a means to charge up for Payback.
She continued to charge up that Payback, and when the time was right, she rushed her opponent and struck. He was knocked out on contact.
Battle won! You gained 20 EXP, Solais gained 20 EXP.
Solais walked back over to me. She looked a little tired, but she was happy that she'd managed to win. I patted the top of her head. "Go ahead and settle down to rest. Your teammates will handle the next round." Solais found a spot to lay down, where she wouldn't be at risk of any crossfire.
Brock returned his Geodude, then sent out his Onix. "Alright, Kaorah, it's your show. Just don't make a mess of the gym." Kaorah stepped onto the field, staring her opponent down.
Onix
Gender: Male
Level 12 (Pokemon)
No Ability
Equipped moveset: Headbutt, Bind, Rock Throw
"Never seen one of them before, either? Where are you getting these Pokemon?" Brock asked. I chuckled in response. "This time, from Sinnoh. This is Kaorah, my starter, and my team's Ace. She's a Dragon/Ground type." Brock frowned. Kaorah was definitely a threat, and Brock knew it. "Onix. Bind her, quickly." He'd never get the chance. Kaorah vanished into the ground, long before he could reach her.
He wouldn't get the chance to move away, either. Kaorah, being so much faster, used the time under ground to get right to where she needed to be. She erupted from the ground, into a front flip. She used the flip to smack the Onix with a Dragon Tail uppercut. Combined with Dig, the hit was devastating. Onix flew backwards, over his trainer, and slammed into the far wall. Which, fortunately, held against the impact.
The rock snake fell down, weakly groaning. An indication that he was alive, but the swirls in his eyes said he was out of it. "Sweetie, I think you hit too hard." Kaorah rubbed the back of her head. "Oh…sorry." She apologized. Brock simply shrugged. "First time I've ever seen anyone hit him that hard." Well, first time for everything. Brock returned his Onix, after making sure there wasn't any serious damage, to either him or the wall he hit.
Battle won! You gained 20 EXP, Kaorah gained 20 EXP.
Kaorah gains an extra 20 EXP due to mate boost.
We stepped onto the field ourselves, Brock and I, avoiding the spots where Kaorah had used Dig. Brock pulled a Boulder Badge from his pocket, and handed it to me, along with offering a handshake, which I accepted. I then took out my badge case, and set the badge into its spot. "That was a great battle. It's also the fastest one in the Gym's record, to my knowledge."
"Well, Kaorah and Solais are both very special." The girls came up, behind me. "Still, congratulations on your first gym battle win. I suggest staying a night or two in the Pokemon Center, then heading onwards to Cerulean City, east of here. It's quite the trip, though, so be ready."
I nodded. "We will. Hey…by the way, my cousin should be here in a day or two. He'll be wanting to challenge the gym, too." Brock responded with a nod. "I'll keep a lookout for him." With that out of the way, my team headed back to the Pokemon center. The battle was over surprisingly quick, so there was still plenty of time in the day, left.
"So…we've still got daylight. Shall we look around, for a bit?" My teammates all agreed with my idea. Seeing as Pewter was much bigger than in the games, there was a fair bit of exploring to do. We managed to find the museum, but chose to not visit, as Kaorah still had a bit of dust on her from the gym battle earlier. We spent most of the rest of our day exploring Pewter, until early evening. Which is when we started to look for somewhere to get our supper.
The four of us found somewhere to sit down and eat, after a little bit, giving us all time to agree on something. It was getting on into the late evening hours, by then. We all enjoyed our supper, a steak for each of us. Medium rare, as it's the only way to get a steak. It's nice to know that the Pokemon world's managed to make its food in such a way that both humans and Pokemon can enjoy it. Although, some foods are harder for them to eat than others. Foods that are meant to be picked up by hand, in particular. Although, it depends on the species, too. Psychic types definitely have the advantage, with telekinesis.
And of course, being anthrofied means any pokemon can use silverware or pick up food with their hands. Even though they'd need a bit of time to learn how.
After we finished supper, I paid for our food, and then we headed back to the Pokemon Center. Kaorah's pace told me what she had on her mind. "Hey, Solais. It's up to you, do you want to go back into your ball for tonight, or stay out?" I asked her, as we were nearing the Center.
"Go back in. You two are probably going to be having time to yourselves, so I'll go into the ball. They block sound from getting in, at least." Pidgey had already returned to his, since he preferred to go to sleep earlier than the rest of us. "Alright. I'll go ahead and put you back, then." At her nod, I returned her. If she gets in on what Kaorah and I have going in the future, we won't need to return her every night. Well, other than when we're camping. If Misty's fine with it, we'll let Solais stay with her.
Until she gets a part of what Kaorah and I have going, that is.
I attached Solais's ball to its place on my belt, then headed inside. "Heard you won the gym battle. Congratulations." Nurse Joy spoke. "Thanks. If you're wondering, they're right here." I tapped my belt. "That Absol's absence was pretty noticeable." She replied, "Your Garchomp looked like she was in a hurry, too." I chuckled.
"She probably just wants to lay down in a comfortable bed and sleep. We've had a very long day." Nurse Joy let out a small giggle, and nodded. "Well, good night. I'll try to not be asleep at my station tomorrow morning. Like my sister was, earlier this morning." We both shared a short laugh, then I headed for my room. I caught up to Kaorah, so we both arrived at the same time. I dug the key from my pocket and unlocked the door, then opened it.
I locked it and shut it behind us as we entered. "Going to have a shower right quick, first. Then we'll see about that massage." I told her. "I'll join you. Won't be nice to leave dirt in the sheets, or covers."
"Or anything else that might get left behind." She knew what I was talking about. The light blush on her face proved it. Of course, it would likely be sweat, primarily. If we go that far. The pair of us showered pretty quickly. It wasn't hard to get the dirt off Kaorah's skin, and I didn't want to take my time, but only because I was going to be fulfilling my promise from earlier today.
With our shower done, we returned to the bedroom. I had managed to find some of the oil used for a massage, when I was shopping in the Poke Mart, earlier today. I pulled the item ball with it from my bag, and opened the ball. I sat the bottle on the bedside table, then went and got some towels for her to lay on. "Lay down, and get comfortable." I told Kaorah, after laying them out.
She laid down on the towels, as instructed. I had put my pajama pants on. Something I kept from home, mainly for the camping part of the trip. I found a spot on Kaorah's back where I could straddle her, just below her dorsal fin, but above the base of her tail.
"You ready?" She answered with a nod. "How much do you want me to do?" She turned her head so she could better speak. "Full body. And take your time, I want to enjoy it." I smiled at her, then popped the bottle's lid open, and started to put some of the oil in my left palm, before setting the bottle back on the table. I rubbed my hands together, then set to work, starting at the base of her neck.
She tensed, likely from the oil being cool to the touch. That didn't last, as I began to firmly press on her shoulders, rubbing in short circles as I did. Her muscle mass, from what she was, and her tough skin meant I really had to press down, so my hands would be sore, but it would be worth it for her.
It didn't take long for her to begin voicing her approval, in the form of her species equivalent to purring. Occasionally, I'd hit a spot that would make a moan work its way out, although she was keeping them quiet. With her shoulders done, I began to slowly move downwards, focusing on her arms first. Her arms didn't need as firm of a touch.
I got down to the base of her claws, right by her fins. And then I slowly began to work my way down them. A gasp met my ears. I kept my touch gentle for her fins. Although, they wouldn't be easily damaged, thanks to how tough her skin was, they were still somewhat sensitive to touch. "Mmm…" Based on the muffled sounds Kaorah was making, I kinda wonder if they might've been erogenous.
I knew that she definitely liked when I touched right beneath the base of her dorsal fin, that's for sure.
When I finished her arm fins, I reached back up to her shoulder blades, and started the slow trip down her back. Although I didn't know where her pressure points are, I still made sure that I didn't miss an inch of her body. Her soft moans definitely helped to tell when I did find one. I would focus on them as I found them, before moving on.
I continued my work, coming to where her dorsal fin met the rest of her back. The gasp that met my ears, and the muffled moan that followed it when I gently started to walk my hands up the fin, got me to smile. Much like her arms, this fin was sensitive to touch, but also not easily damaged.
I finished with her fin, and continued on down her back. I had to get off, to get the spot where I'd straddled her, as well as her sides. I then retook my position, facing towards her tail and legs. "Lift your tail for me, if you can. I'm going to do it next, then your legs." A muffled grunt was my answer, and she lifted her tail like I asked, as much as she could. I then slowly started working my way down, or I guess up, since I'm going from the base. A sharp gasp met my ears as I strayed close to a certain spot. I couldn't see from where I was, but I'm sure she's likely going to be aroused.
I slowly worked down the length of her tail, going all around its with. Both the back with the tougher skin, and the underside. And, when I finished, I got off her back and then off the bed. I moved to the end and reached up to her hips, and started to do the backs of her legs. But not just the backs. I reached beneath her tail, and pressed my fingers into the slightly softer skin on her inner thighs. "Ah~"
That was the loudest sound I've gotten her to make, yet. I caught the look in her eye, and the forming blush on her face, when she shifted her head to look at me. I took it as a sign of her enjoyment, and continued what I was doing. I could see her arousal, now. "Stop…change me into that anthro form from earlier, then you can keep going." I did as I was told. A different shape to her body, but the massage should affect both forms, regardless.
I continued my work. Though her skin is still tough, her legs aren't as big as before. So there's not as much surface area to cover. I intentionally got very close to her most intimate spot, but never actually touched it. "Mmmm…you tease…" I shot her a smile, and kept going. I caught the slight disappointment in her moans as I continued downwards, away from there. The spikes on her legs, and her arms from earlier, though they looked sharp, they thankfully were not, unlike her claws. It also helped that her anthro form, meant the spikes shifted so that their points weren't straight out, as normal.
I passed her knees, onto her lower legs. They didn't need as much attention, but I still gave them plenty of time. I passed her ankles, and moved on to her feet. One of the spots where her skin was the toughest, as her species doesn't ever need shoes. I had to be mindful of her claws, as I could cut my hands on them.
I finished up, shortly after. "OK, that's your back done. Now…I need you to roll over for me." She did without a second thought. She folded her arms beneath the pillow her head was resting on. I climbed back into bed, and straddled her, just below her breasts. I put my hands on the bed, beside her, one to each side.
"It's so nice, to see a pretty Dragoness such as you, in this sort of position." I smiled at her blush. "Let us continue. My work is not yet done." Much like before, my hands started on her shoulders. Only now, I could see her expression change as I worked. She closed her eyes, and a soft smile made its way onto her face. I didn't take too long, as I'd done her shoulders before. Her breasts definitely got a response. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped as I lightly squeezed them in my hands.
Her blush returned, and I continued to gently knead her breasts with my hands. She closed her eyes, again, but was very clearly trying not to moan, something I was making hard for her. I didn't take too long, before continuing downwards, gently pressing against the softer skin of her abdomen.
She settled down, her volume dropping as she did. The happy ending's going to be her favorite part. I know that much already.
As I approached her hips, I saw her face starting to change color again, much more noticeably as my hands made contact with her legs, tonight. Her pussy was obviously wet, a clear indication of her enjoyment, although the sounds I was hearing told me already. I stuck to the front side of her thighs, having already gotten the inner sides earlier.
It didn't take too much longer to finish her massage, save for one last thing. "All done…but, there is one last thing I can do. How do you like the idea of a happy ending?" She responded with a questioning glance. " Here, I'll just let the experience explain it." I laid down next to her, in a position where I could reach my intended target. I then reached down to between her legs.
The moment my hand made contact, Kaorah gasped loudly, and shuddered in my grip as I began to rub in small circles with my fingers, focusing around the small nub that was her clitoris. "Mmmm…" Her moans were all the approval I needed, so I kept it up. I saw her slowly begin to spread her legs as I continued to please her. I shifted the way my fingers were positioned, putting my middle and ring fingers together, before feeling for her entrance, where I pushed them in.
I began to make a pumping motion with them, slow, in and out. Kaorah's moans increased in volume, just a little, but I helped cut the risk by casting the soundproofing spell I found, with my free hand. Then I continued to focus on pleasing my Dragon.
I didn't make much of a change to my pace, over the few minutes I spent pleasing her with my fingers, enjoying the sound of her moans. A wordless vocalization of her enjoyment. "Master…I am…close…" I took that as a signal to finally speed up. Although, she wasn't too far off by this point.
She suddenly squeezed her legs together, holding my arm in place, and I felt her clamp down on the fingers I had inside her. Her moans turned into a growl, as she reached her climax. She shuddered, and I kept moving my fingers as she rode it out. Eventually, she settled, and I pulled my fingers from within her. Her juices had soaked the hand I used. Although I'm sure she'd prefer to remain in her current form, a quick cast of the anthro spell, reverted her form to normal.
I held the hand I'd used up to my mouth, and in her view, pushed the two soaked fingers into my mouth and pulled them back out, slowly. My sudden action surprised her. Her juices had a slight sweet taste to them, and were, thankfully not too strong in any way.
"Why'd you do that?" I wiped off the rest of what was on my hand, using the towels. "I was curious. And besides, that's part of pleasing a female, in the way I just did for you." I didn't want to give her the idea of actual oral, yet. Although I'd gladly go down on her, the reverse, although it seems like a nice idea, can also be risky, with how her teeth are. Unless her tongue's longer than I think it is.
"But still, I can tell it at least felt good. You definitely seemed to like it." I pulled the towels off the bed and took them into the bathroom, where they were placed into the hamper. After I cleaned her off, of course. I didn't want her to have to deal with the fluids being on her legs all night, or the possibility of them ending up on the blanket or the sheets.
"Are we going to go all the way, tonight?" Though it seems like a good idea, I shook my head. "Not tonight, no. Tomorrow maybe." I finished cleaning up, and then started to turn the lights out, leaving the bedside lamp until last. The moment I laid on the bed, I was wrapped up in the same embrace as my first proper night in this world. Kaorah's head settled on my chest.
"Looking forward to it. And, hey…that form, I want to use it more. It feels different, but I still like it." I nodded, and planted a soft kiss on her snout. I wish she was able to share kisses, the proper way, but her head's shape kind of hampers that, in both forms. So, I'll settle for receiving nuzzles. The one she gave me was rough, but not as hard as her first ones had been. She's learned to tone down the strength she uses.
"Well, good night." I turned the lamp off, with a click, and the room plunged into darkness.
"Good night." With our last words shared, I drifted off to sleep, once again with a happy dragon holding me in an embrace.
