Marcus yawned as he woke up, the sun's first rays had yet to reach over the horizon. At first it felt like something was wrong. Then he noticed that he was alone in the large room. Not a single one of the girls to be found, which was oddly discomforting. He looked at the tray that had been placed on his bedside table, all eight of his active balls were there (as well as his belt that was coiled around them). He reached over and released each one of the ball's occupant one by one. When everyone was out, and their balls placed on his belt in order, he smiled. With holding a secret from everyone was a nice pace, especially when he no longer had a psychic type probing his mind. The memories of the years spent with Mika washed back over him. Looking down he sighed, his eyes starting to tear up.
 
“Marcus, are you okay?” Sonja asked as she sat down next to Marcus. She could feel something wasn't quite right with her tamer, and Jira seemed to pick up on it as well, seeing as he Tigress sat down on Marcus's unoccupied side.
 
“No, I'm fine. Really.” Marcus said as he smiled and looked up. There wasn't any reason to be sad. Him and Mika had quite a few good laughs over the years. And unless he pissed off a Psidyke, then there was no way that he was ever going to forget her. “I'm fine,” Marcus reassured Jira. The Tigress was leaned over on him, stroking her cheek on his shoulder. “Anyways. I've got a surprise for everyone, including the new girls.” Marcus was glad to see that he had at least gotten Breanna's attention. “Today, you all are going............. SHOPPING!” Marcus grinned.
 
Haleigh was practically jumping for joy, and she wasn't alone. Rose was dancing around, excited as well. Breanna, on the other hand, was a bit cynical. “Oh really? Why? Do you need us to pick up more supplies for you?” She ignored the growl that came from Anahi, the Wolf Queen sitting at Marcus's feet in her human form.
 
“Hell no. I'm capable of doing that myself,” Marcus said as he stood up. He had to pull his naked genitals from Anahi's grasp, but he was able to get clothed fairly quickly. “What you girls get to do is go out and buy for yourself. Anything you want.”
 
“And I suppose that you're only going to be giving us a few hundred credits to do it with? I'm not some Bimbo any more,” Breanna snapped. She ignored the pointed looks from everyone else. If they wanted to believe that anyone could give two shits about them, then that was their doing. She wasn't going to be so ignorant again.
 
“How about givin' your mouth a rest and lettin' me finish?” Marcus asked as he crossed his arms. When it looked like Breanna wasn't going to say anything else he finished. “You're each getting 25,000 credits to spend on what ever you want.” Marcus did a quick count in his head. With just them alone the day was going to cost him around 200,000 credits. “If you wanna spend it, spend it. If you want to save it, save it. I don't care.” Marcus uncrossed his arms and put his belt back in it's place around is waist.
 
Breanna was stumped. Most of the tamers in the league would rarely let their girls spend so much as a hundred credits. And here this tamer was allowing them to spend so much more than that. Already her mind began racing at the probabilities of what she could buy. She didn't once feel an iota of gratitude. After all, Marcus got the chance to lay with her tonight as long as he didn't fuck up.
 
Haleigh was beside herself, as was Rose. Both Haleigh and Rose had been born as PokéKits, and while Rose was definitely the oldest, they both had longed for something for themselves. Haleigh had believed that while Marcus was kind, she wasn't going to be allowed anything to really call her own. She was brought down when Marcus cleared his throat.
 
“There's only one condition,” Marcus said as he recaptured everyone's attention.
 
“Pheh. I knew it,” Breanna crossed her arms. “And what's this condition? We're already nothing more than your slaves. So what is it that you can possibly want from us?”
 
“Will you chill? All I want from you girls is for you not to buy any thing until I get done shopping,” Marcus said as he told them to stay in the PokéCenter. He allowed them to use the indoor gym, but other than that they weren't allowed to leave the building. “And if someone wants to challenge me for one of you, just tell him that your Master's out at the moment and that he'll be back after a while.” Marcus waved good bye as he grabbed his 'dex and walked out the door. 'I've still gotta meet Lee later on today, but that can wait for a while. First things first.' Marcus thought as he walked along the street. He was sure he had seen the shop somewhere. He just couldn't remember where it was. Opting for the quicker route Marcus scrambled along the roof tops. It took him nearly an hour, but he finally found it. “Perfect.”
 
“You know that this is a bad idea.” “Will you shut the hell up? What I want to do with my money is up to me.” “Hey dickless, don't forget. We're the same person, which means that it's my cash too.” “Yeah, which means that you also want to buy the girls something nice.” Marcus battled with his inner demon. As much awesome was packed into that tattoo on his back, every now and then the side effect was a pain in the ass. “If we're thinking the same thing then you also don't wanna buy those sluts anything.” Marcus had to admit that that part was true. He felt almost like he was trying to buy their affection. Marcus shrugged The Beast and the thought off as he opened the door to the small shop. The first thing that hit him was the scent of to many incense that had been burned and the smoke accumulated indoors. Sneezing Marcus tried his best to breath through his mouth as he walked up to the woman that was sitting behind a crystal ball. “You still have any Boosters for sale?”
 
“Yes I do, but they don't come cheap,” the lady pointed a long finger towards a glass shelf. The glass was protecting a set of stones and jewels on display. Marcus pulled out his 'dex and started scanning them one by one. He picked out the ones that he needed, making sure that they were the correct ones. He even went as far as to have them placed in small, individual boxes and bags. Marcus made a quick trip back to the 'Center. “I'm back, and I come bearing gifts!” Marcus looked around the room, but there wasn't anyone around. He walked out and down stairs of the PokéCenter to the gym. There he found Haleigh being surrounded by the rest of his harem, save for Breanna, while a group of tamers seemed to hover around her. “Hey, what the fuck's going on?”
 
“Are you this Draco's tamer?” Marcus nodded to the question. “Then I challenge you to salvage rights for her!” Marcus sighed. Haleigh hadn't been a Draco for more than a day, and already he was being challenged for her. How in the hell was she gonna be able to beat anyone without some training first?
 
“Look, are you sure you want to do this?” Marcus asked. He was hoping that the guys would just pack up and leave well enough alone, but the prospect of actually winning the Draco was to much. “Fine. Guess there's no other choice. Anyone that wants to challenge me for Haleigh, the Draco, line up along the wall. I don't care what order you're in, just do it.” Marcus was surprised that they had actually done what he said without much conflict. “Okay, here's what we're gonna do.” Five Tamers had stood with their backs to the wall. “Only one of you is gonna get a chance to challenge me for Haleigh. How you decide amongst yourselves is up to you.” Marcus said as he walked to his girls.
 
While the five guys argued and bickered amongst themselves, each one believing that he was the better man, Marcus walked out with Haleigh. “Alright kid, what moves do you know, and what have you been working on?”
 
“Umm.... I remember all of my attacks as a Mynx. I should be able to do better now since I not only don't have to worry about my asthma flaring up any more, but now I won't evolve into a Slutton anymore.” Haleigh played with her sparkling green locks, twisting her hair around her fingers.
 
“Do you know any sort of Dragon moves?”
 
“I was working on my Dragon Claw before everything happened. I don't think I've got it quite down yet.” Haleigh hung her head.
 
“Don't worry about it. All I want is for you to do your best.” Marcus said as he lifted Haleigh's face with a hand under her chin. Marcus leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. “Turn around. I have a present for you.” Marcus waited as Haleigh did as she was told. Marcus placed the bags down on the ground and searched through them. He found the one destined for Haleigh and pulled it out. “Close your eyes,” Marcus ordered. When he thought that the Draco had her eyes shut Marcus reached around her body and placed the necklace around her neck. “Okay, open 'em.”
 
Haleigh opened her eyes. The first thing she did was look down at the new weight that was sitting just above the top of her breasts. “Oh my Gods! Marcus, it's beautiful!” Haleigh could only stare at the necklace. Even though it looked upside down to her she could make out what the design was. A transparent purple stone was set in what looked to be white gold. The metal formed what looked to be a medium sized outline of an eye, and the stone was cut so it looked like it was a slitted pupil in the very middle. “What is it?”
 
“It's Kunzite. It's a stone that raises the strength of Dragon attacks.” Marcus said as he turned her around to look at it. He had to admit, it looked amazing. “I'm glad you like it. Hopefully it'll give you what you need in order to win.”
 
“After getting this? There's no way I'd loose,” Haleigh felt a surge of confidence surghe through her body. She proudly strode back into the gym, unconsciously trying to show everyone her new gift without being to obvious.
 
Marcus walked in after Haleigh. He saw that each one of the potential challengers had a single girl out, most likely their Alphas, and were in one large five-way match. While they beat the shit out of each other with their girls, Marcus took the time to help Haleigh get her Dragon Claw attack down. Just as she was getting able to use it eight times out of ten the match ended. The victor was the man that had out what looked to be an Elf with wings. “So you're the guy?”
 
“That's right. I'll tell you what, it was a pain in the ass to. All I can say is that she better be worth the hassle.” The guy was tall, and he was lanky. He reminded Marcus of a sapling or some other tree that had yet to grow some girth on it's body.
 
“Cool. Run upstairs, get your girl healed, and get yer ass back down here for a beating. It's the best out of three.” Marcus called as the Tamer turned to walk out of the gymnasium. He was back fairly quickly, which left Marcus guessing that he just left her with the attendant upstairs. “You heard me saying that it's the best out of three right?” Marcus's statement was acknowledged by a nod of the head. “Good, then you'll have no complaints when I beat you.” Marcus pulled out his 'dex and got ready to start recording the match. “The prize, if you win, will be my Draco, Haleigh. What're you putting on the line?”
 
“I'll put my Avariel, Alice, on the line.”
 
“Then let's start.” Marcus looked around, trying to decide on who to send out first. “What the hell? Haleigh, you're up first.” Marcus ordered. The Draco strode proudly out in between the two Tamers.
 
“I thought as much. Darcie! I screw you!” The guy shouted as he released a human looking girl.
 
From where Marcus was looking it seemed like she was just another human looking pokégirl, that is until he felt the chilled air that was radiating from the girl. “Shit, she's an Ice Type.” Marcus warned Haleigh. His Dragon-Type looked unfazed by the news.
 
Haleigh could feel the uncomfortably cold chill coming at her in waves from the girl, but she didn't let her worry show. “I'm ready.”
 
“Ice Beam!” The Ice-Type held up both hands and placed them together. For a split second her hands seemed to glow before erupting in a bright white beam that shot directly at the Dragon-girl. Haleigh not only heard the command, but she even saw the attack as it happened. For a second she froze up, the thought of being hit by the freezing beam of energy numbing her senses.
 
“Dance!” Haleigh recognized the voice. Just as she was about to be struck in the shoulder by the icy blast she spun and ducked out of the way. Haleigh danced out of the path of the Ice Beam and towards the Ice-type. “Leap! Follow it with Dragon Claw!” Haleigh did as Marcus ordered. She leaped over another Ice Beam. She allowed her draconic energy to swell within her right hand as she brought it back. With a scream she slashed at the Ice-type, cutting her way through the icy cold barrier that surrounded the girl. Unfortunately the attack bit more cloth than flesh, the Ice-type getting away with nothing more than few light scratches. Leaping back out of the icy aura that was being radiated by the unknown Ice-Type, Haleigh caught her breath as she tried to bring warmth back into her limb.
 
Marcus cursed to himself. Right now the two combatants were slowly sizing each other up. Haleigh seemed to be faster, but one solid blow from that Ice Maiden would fuck her world up. Marcus began thinking of everything that he could have that would allow Haleigh to come out on top. Unfortunately he couldn't, he just didn't know what to do against a fighter that was strictly long range. 'Crap, we're so fucked right now!' Marcus screamed to himself mentally.
 
“Bubble!”
 
Marcus thought that the site of the Ice Maiden suddenly spewing bubbles from her body was ridiculous. But the slow moving translucent orbs filled the area, and every time one of them touched something it exploded on contact. Haleigh couldn't move without passing through a floating minefield, and even when she stayed in place she was still bombarded with the drifting explosives. “Ice Beam.” Marcus cursed to himself, Haleigh couldn't move out of the beam's path, and the chilly blue beam of energy hit the Draco square between her breasts. Not only did the blast of cold energy do it's damage, the beam also completely froze the Draco's torso in ice. The match was over, and the winner was obviously the Ice Maiden.
 
“I'll be taking my Draco now,” the guy said as he started to make a move for the tamer who was recalling the mentioned Draco into her pokéball.
 
“I have no idea what you're talking about,” Marcus said smugly. “That's only one round down out of the three that we agreed to.” Marcus grinned.
 
The guy cussed to himself under his breath. Without realizing it he had agreed to having a full match for the possession of the Draco. “Fine, but it's not like it's gonna matter any.” He took his place back on the side of the make shift arena. “Foxxy!”
 
Marcus sighed. Where was originality now-a-days? “Dude, did you seriously have to name your Foxx 'Foxxy?' You couldn't think of anything better than that?” Marcus complained. “Anahi, eliminate her.”
 
Anahi, who had been standing beside Marcus in her human form with the rest of his harem, nodded as she stepped out. As he ordered she had been in her passive form since last night, even with the guy trying to take Haleigh. “As Master wishes.” She cracked her knuckles, her armor still form fitting on her human body.
 
“I'll do whatever I want to with my girls. Foxxy, burn her alive,” was all of the comeback that the guy could muster. As she'd been ordered to, the Foxx took a deep breath and exhaled. A stream of flames erupted from her mouth in a Flamethrower that forced Anahi to roll to the side. She crouched low to the ground as she ran in a wide circle around the fire spitting fox girl.
 
“Hey Anahi, just go ahead and change forms,” Marcus shouted.
 
Anahi nodded. Her body grew as she shifted. If it wasn't for the fact that she was able to summon her armor in both of her states, her leather bindings would have snapped as she suddenly gained a massive amount of mass. Everyone in the room was silent as they just stared at the massive wolf-girl. She was to big to stand up directly, but her hunching over just made her seem a lot more intimidating for some reason. The Foxx was truly looking worried about having to face such a large opponent.
 
“Cook her.” The Tamer ordered. The Foxx complied, a large ball of fire collected in her hands. She threw the wreckball sized orb of flames at the over sized canine. Anahi replied with a simple and effective method, bringing her arms together a rod of flames quickly took the form of a flaming scythe. Slashing down Anahi cut the ball into two, causing both halves of the Fire Ball to sail harmlessly past her.
 
“WHAT FUCKING WOLF QUEEN KNOWS FIRE SCYTHE!” The Tamer was screaming in confusion. He had intended to use his Foxx's flames for long ranged attacks, just to keep his girl relatively safe. But with the display of flames the Wolf Queen exhibited that was now no longer an option. “Foxxy, I don't care what you do. Just do it fast and kick her ass!”
 
Anahi didn't give the Foxx a chance to do anything other than wet herself. By using Snarl the Wolf Queen caused the Foxx to falter in her attack. Using the distraction to smack the Fire-type aside with a large paw, Anahi sent Foxxy flying to the side. The Foxx bounced off of the wall and didn't move after crashing to the ground. “Foxx will no longer fight. She knows who is the Alpha.” Anahi replied as she walked back over to Marcus, shifting into her human form along the way.
 
Marcus gave Anahi a quick pat on the ass as she walked by. “Good job. Just make sure that you don't kill anyone from now on. Okay?” Anahi replied simply by nodding her head. “So, that's one win a piece. Time to settle this.” Marcus said as he turned to the least unlikely member to rely on. “And this time, it'll be up to Breanna.”
 
“Master, are you sure that leaving it to Breanna's a good idea?” Sonja asked, ignoring the mean-mugging she was getting from the pink haired brawler. “What if she decides to just loose the match on purpose just to get rid of Haleigh?” Sonja wasn't sure Marcus was thinking straight. The best bet he would have would be to send her out instead. At least that way they all would have known that Sonja had tried her best, even if she lost for some reason.
 
“Calm down Sonja,” Marcus paced a hand on his HeroKapoeraa's shoulder. “It'll be fine. Breanna,” Marcus turned his attention to the pissed looking, pink haired girl standing behind everyone. “I'm gonna give you the only command that you'll ever have to follow.”
 
“Like I'll listen to anything you'll say,” Breanna waved her hand as she walked out towards the middle of the tamers. “But what is it?”
 
“Stomp a mud hole in her ass and walk it dry,” Marcus grinned.
 
“Idiot. I'd do that without your permission.” Breanna scoffed as she walked past Marcus. She grabbed the ponytaur-tail holder from her wrist and began to wrap up her hair as they waited for the tamer to make his selection. He grabbed a ball from his belt, said something that sounded a lot like 'Gabby' and tossed the ball out. The emerging pokégirl had hair that started black, but it turned white the closer it got to the ends. She didn't really have on anything that was spectacular, just a shirt and jeans. “What the hell is this? An AmazonChan?”
 
“Nope,” Marcus said after scanning the girl quickly. “She's an Elementalist. A Fighting Mystic to be exact. She's a fighter that enhances herself magically, watch out.” Marcus warned. He figured that was a smart idea. Send out the Magic/Fighting type to go up against the Magic type that's a brawler instead of a spellcaster.
 
“It doesn't really matter what she is, she's dead.” Breanna said as she rushed forward. She was about to strike the girl down when she was suddenly punching through nothing but air. “What the hell?” Breanna shouted as she twisted around. It was almost like she and the other girl had traded places. “What the fuck're you doing over there?” Breanna tried again, this time as she rushed forward she feinted with her left fist and struck with her right foot. But again she didn't hit anything but air.
 
“Breanna! She's using the spell 'Haste!'” Marcus called out.
 
“So she's powering herself up to avoid me? And shut the fuck up and but out of my fight!” Breanna shouted at the person she was forced to call 'Master.' She extended her right arm as she rushed forward for the third time. Instead of trying to punch the girl, Breanna used an Electric Blade. The sword of electrical energy connected as the Fighting Mystic tried to side step out of the range of the Hyperdoll's punch. She screamed as the electricity arced through her body, stunning her briefly. Capitalizing on the stunned 'girl Breanna tackled the girl to the ground. Straddling her stomach Breanna rained down blow after blow, her Pummel attack mercilessly beating down onto the Fighting Mystic's face.
 
“Get up and crush her!” The Fighting Mystic seemed to almost blast Breanna off of her, looking no worse for wear as she rushed after the sprawling Hyperdoll. 'Shit, she must have been buffing herself up with spells while dodging the attacks from Breanna,' Marcus thought to himself as he watched. The Fighting Mystic had caught Breanna around her waist. Arching her back the black and white haired Elementalist repeatedly picked Breanna up and German Suplexed the Hyperdoll into the ground. After about the dozenth time Breanna finally broke free. 'Hell, the only reason she's getting up is because of her fucking Durability. If it wasn't for that she'd be so fucked after all of those. Hell, she's staggering around enough as it is.' Marcus watched as his Hyperdoll staggered to her feet. She looked disoriented, but after being slammed repeatedly into the ground on your head, anyone would be confused.
 
Breanna's entire world was spinning. She shook her head in attempts to clear the cobwebs out, but a shout from Marcus made her snap her eyes open quickly. She could see 'Gabby' rushing at her, but this time it was a lot slower. 'That fucking Haste spell must have worn down finally.' Breanna took her chance. She stepped forward and clothes lined the Fighting Mystic. The girl went down hard, the concrete floor cracking from the force of her head hitting the ground. Miraculously she started to get back up. 'That damned fucking Shell spell is really starting to piss me off. Let's see how she deals with this.' Breanna quickly grabbed the girl around her waists. Instead of returning the German Suplexes that were delivered to her, Breanna clamped her mouth over the Fighting Mystic's and squeezed as hard as she could. With her lips clamped over the other girl's lips, the other girl was unable to utter her spells. And with the Shell spell protecting her from taking much physical harm quickly dissipating, it was only a matter of time before Breanna actually broke the Fighting Mystic's back. Breanna dropped the limp girl like a sack of potatoes.
 
“Did you kill her?” Marcus asked as the Hyperdoll walked past him.
 
“She should be fine. That is, as long as she gets healed quickly.” Breanna walked past them and out of the gym.
 
“She's really gonna be a headache,” Sonja was already rubbing her temples. Already the Hyperdoll was causing problems with the rest of the harem. There was a sudden idea that dawned on her as she rushed out after the brooding Pink haired bomb-shell.
 
“Okay, I wonder what that was about.” Marcus didn't have any clue as to why Sonja suddenly rushed out, but that could be taken care of later. “Okay. Everyone! Gather in the room!” Marcus walked behind the group of girls making a mad rush for the room they were staying in, that is, after he collected his prize and sold the Avariel back her original tamer.. The first thing he did when he got upstairs was wait for Haleigh to be ran through a healing cycle. It was nearly 45 minutes before he was given his pokéball back containing his Draco. Whistling softly to himself he walked back to his room, just to find everyone sitting together and chatting comfortably. Everyone that is, except for Breanna. The Hyperdoll was sitting by herself staring out the window. “Hey ladies! I come bearing gifts!”
 
The mentioning of gifts got everyone's attention, including Breanna's. “Let's see, first is...... Jira!” Marcus pulled out another box and waited for his Tigress to step up. “Here you go,” Marcus pulled the box apart to reveal a clear rose cut diamond set in white gold. Marcus could swear that there was tears swelling up in Jira's eyes as he placed the necklace around her neck. Marcus was nearly crushed as he was hugged by the emotionally moved Tigress. “Can't...... breath......” Marcus gasped.
 
Jira let up on her hug, but she didn't let go. “Thank you,” she whispered into Marcus's ear. She kissed Marcus hard before pulling away. She wasn't going to let Marcus forget this, she'd make it up to him some how.
 
“Don't worry about it,” Marcus grinned. “Now, for the rest of you.” Marcus pulled out the other gifts. Erin received a multicolored opal that was set in in silver, Rose a clear green tsavorite that was also set in silver. Danika also received the same green tsavorite necklace as Rose. Anahi was given the same as Jira, but there was a difference. Instead of a necklace, Anahi's was a large stud. The Wolf Queen hardly batted an eye as Marcus punctured the metal piece through her ear. Last, but certainly not least, Marcus walked over to Breanna. “I picked up boosters for everyone in the harem. Of course that means I got one for you to, there's just one small difference.” Marcus pulled a long cylindrical object from his back pocket. “This is an Amber. They called it a wand, and it's supposed to help boost Magic. I know that you're more of a brawler, so I'm going to see if I can't get this crafted into a sword hilt or something for you.”
 
“So you 're trying to buy or affections. Typical.” Breanna turned away. She wasn't about to show, or even hint, that there was just a trace bit of gratitude on her face or in her voice.
 
“Come on. I'm just trying to be ni-” Marcus was cut off as he was picked up by a fuzzy pair of arms. He instantly knew that the black furred arms belonged to Anahi, and why she brought him up to her chest like he was a newborn. “Uhh..... Anahi..... what're you doing?”
 
“Master must be thristy. Master should drink from Anahi before she get's to big,” Anahi said as she dismissed her armor. She brought Marcus's mouth to her nipple, pressing his head into her chest.
 
Marcus had no other option than to comply to the Wolf Queen's wishes. Taking the large nipple into his mouth Marcus began to bite and suck at the teat. He was surprised when his mouth was flooded by warm milk. “When did this happen?” Marcus sputtered after taking several mouthfuls.
 
“Me and Anahi got our hands on Milkttit milk back during Sadie Poken's day. We were waiting for just the right time to surprise you,” Jira said as she pulled off her top. Standing below Anahi, waiting for her to finish nursing their tamer, Jira began taping her foot impatiently. She had an idea, a plan, but there was one thing stopping her from enacting it. And that was the large number of pokégirls surrounding them.
 
“Come on. Time for you girls to go shopping.” Marcus said as he produced several rolls of cash from his pockets. He handed each girl 25,000 credits. “Just do me a favor, if you find yourself in trouble then just try and find me. I'll be in the mall as well, but I'm not gonna be with any of ya.” Marcus said as he waited for everyone to gather their stuff. Everyone was ready to go, and each one had their own wad of cash, including Breanna. “So, when you get bored just find me and we'll come back here.”
Marcus lead the way to the mall. He let the girls off on their own separate ways, however they all seemed to break up into groups. “Well, time to goof around til I hear from Lee and them.” Marcus browsed around the shops and stands. He didn't really have anything important to do right now, so he bought himself a snow-cone from a stand and ate it by an indoor fountain. There were several Water-types around him as he ate, but the surprise came from Jira. The Tigress had snuck up beside him, grabbed his arm, and pulled him toward the restrooms. She busted open the door to the pokégirl's room, threw Marcus into a stall, locked the door, and tore off his pants.
. . . . . . . . . .
“So, where do we want to go first?” Sonja asked as she eyed a few shops. Rose and Haleigh were following her, standing out on each side of their alpha. “Rose?”
 
“Clothes aren't for me,” Rose said as she rolled the wad of credits in her hands. “It seriously fucks with my photosynthesis, not to mention it totally clashes with my flower.” Rose didn't see why she needed clothes. She could make a controllable, and much more comfortable, bra simply by using her Vine Bondage. It'd taken a bit of practice to get down, but after she had mastered it there was nothing better.
 
“I don't know. First it was the gifts, now it's a shopping spree. I sort of feel guilty for spending this money.” Haleigh remarked as she stared at the tidy sum of credits rolled up in her hand. “How can he afford this? I mean, with eight girls. 25,000 credits a piece? That's 100,000 credits that he just gave away. And there's no mentioning how expensive these things were,” Haleigh used her free hand to touch the necklace that she had just gotten a few hours before.
 
“That's just Marcus,” Sonja said as she eyed something that made her squeal. She placed the wad of cash between her breasts, grabbed Rose and Haleigh by their hands, and charged into a shop that had several Seamstresses working away at several sewing machines. “Come on, hurry up!”
. . . . . . . . . .
“Why the hell did he give this to us?” Breanna tossed the wad of credits up and caught it with her other hand. “You know that he's just trying to buy our affections. And these gifts are nothing more than to make us more powerful when we fight.”
 
Jira bit her tongue. She was getting tired of the Hyperdoll's treatment of Marcus. He'd been nothing but wonderful ever since she joined him, and he'd been nothing but nice to the Hyperdoll ever since he took her in. “Why don't you just shut the hell up? Marcus is by far the best thing that ever happened to us. He saved me from an abusive tamer. He knows that I can use Payday-”
 
“Ah, so that's why he's got so much cash. He's been making you use your attack for his gain,” Breanna interrupted the Tigress. The reason that he was so generous in his givings was all to apparent now. He was just giving back what he had taken from Jira.
 
“No. If you'd let me finish then you would know that not once has he asked me to use it. Not a single fucking time.” Jira scoffed. She left the annoying pink haired bitch and walked off. She noticed Marcus sitting by his lonesome eating a snow-cone by an indoor fountain surrounded by water types. 'Perfect,' Jira thought as she ninja-ed Marcus away to the restrooms.
. . . . . . . . . .
“How's this look on me?” Danika asked as she examined herself in a mirror. There were only a few shops in the mall that allowed Pokégirls to shop without the assistance of their Tamer, and this boutique was only one of the four.
 
Erin looked over from where she was browsing through shirts. “That does look cute.” Erin turned her attention back to the clothes at hand. Danika had it easy. All she needed was a simple, long enough shirt and she matched. Sure that there was the possibility of the clothing clashing with her scales, but no matter what her outfit would always match. Erin had a hard enough time finding a shirt that fit her massive body, finding a pair of pants that fit and matched was nearly impossible.
 
Anahi browsed through the selections as well. The fashion was lost on her, as was the need for clothing. All it did was get in the way when she wanted a taming. It took her forever to master the concept behind a 'button' and 'zipper.' Those two concepts had pissed her off when she was especially horny and she was alone with Marcus. “They need to get rid of clothing. Everyone should be naked for easy tamings.” She said as she walked away from some sort of pants that way to many buckles, pockets, and zippers. Her armor was a different manner, being able to summon it and dismiss it at will meant no waiting time on her part.
 
“Calm down Anahi. I can't summon my clothing like you can. I actually need to buy this stuff.” Erin said as she hopped over to where Anahi had come from. She grabbed the pants that Anahi had been looking at and went to the Seamstress at the counter. “Excuse me, but do you have these in Kangasscunt sizes?”
 
“I'm sorry. We have some shirts, but most of our clothing is geared more along the more human sized girls. There is a shop on the other side of the mall that specializes in the larger sizes. I know the Seamstresses that work there, they've got some pretty cute stuff.” The Seamstress said as she looked up. She had been drawing a new design she wanted to try out when the kangaroo girl interrupted her.
. . . . . . . . . .
Jira inhaled Marcus's cock. As she sucked on the hardening piece of flesh her hands carefully worked his balls. “Come on, get hard.”
 
Marcus didn't know what the hell was going on. One minute he was talking leisurely with a Whoretortle, and then the next thing he knew he was thrown into a woman's stall with Jira trying to choke herself on his dick. “Hey, calm down. We're not supposed to be taming in here.” Marcus whispered. The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the Pokégirl's restrooms with his Tigress's lips wrapped around the base of his cock.
 
“Shut up. Fuck. Now.” Jira stood up and turned around. Her mouth had worked it's magic, Marcus's prick was standing proudly from his loins. She bent over and rolled up the mini-skirt she was wearing. “Please.”
 
There comes a time in every tamer's life when he must make a decision. Tame the wet, horny, and begging pokégirl in front of him, thus risking the chance to be arrested for taming her in a 'No Taming Allowed' public place. Or ball her and wait until they were some place else. Marcus did the most sane and rational thing he could think of at the time. He reached out, snatched the panties down around the legs of his begging Tigress, and bottomed out in a single thrust.
 
Jira started yowling in pleasure, but her voice was quickly muffled by a hand over her mouth. Marcus was careful not to cut himself on her teeth, but honestly, all she could care about was the hard dick slamming into her from behind. She screamed silently into her Master's hand as she felt a warm, liquid, explosion fill her womb. When Marcus backed away her legs gave out. Falling to her knees the last thing on her mind was being picked up, turned over, and having her back slammed against the stall's door.
 
“Hey, you started this,” Marcus whispered into Jira's ear. He placed the tip of his dick at Jira's entrance once again before bottoming out a second time with a single thrust. “So don't even think that you're gonna get away with a single quickie.” Marcus clamped his mouth over Jira's, the Tigress wrapping her arms under his as she screamed into his mouth.
. . . . . . . . . .
“You... look.... so..... fucking...... CUTE!!” Rose exclaimed when she saw the outfit that Haleigh was wearing. The Draco had the courage to try on a little Noir Maid outfit, and the frills combined with her scales, seemed to make the girl look both innocent, and sultry all at the same time. Rose wouldn't mind wearing one of them every now and then herself. The only problem was that it always felt like she was starving herself whenever she wore clothing.
 
“Re-really?” Haleigh asked as she looked at herself in the mirror. True she was cute, and her blue scales and green hair matched nicely with the black and white uniform, but she didn't really think it was for her. “What do you think Sonja?” She used the mirror to look at the HeroKapoeraa.
 
Sonja looked away from the belt she was currently looking at. “You do look cute. But if you get that then you'd better be prepared to get the living day lights tamed out of you. Marcus might not look like it, but he's into some pretty weird stuff.” Sonja didn't really warn her for her to warn her about Marcus, she did it to warn her about herself. Sonja wanted to jump the cute little Draco right now, but the damned Seamstress wouldn't leave them alone.
 
“I-I don't know about all that. It's this tail that's getting in the way.” Haleigh looked behind her. Her bottom was nearly completely exposed thanks to the reptilian tail growing out of her bottom. She sighed and almost found herself wishing for her previous tail. The Mynx's tail was an easy fit through clothing. Her current tail..... not so much.
 
Rose placed a hand on the ruffled collar of Haleigh's outfit. “Don't worry so much about it. I used to have the same problem too, that is until I grew tired of cutting out holes in the back of shirts that I didn't even want to wear.” She pulled the Draco close, a few of her vines starting to emerge from the flower on her back. “Besides, you look absolutely scrumptious.”
 
“I'm sorry,” a hand pulled at the back of Rose's short hair, “but we don't allow tamings to be had in our store. Especially not when one of the participants is wearing an outfit that they've yet to pay for.” Rose looked back to see the Seamstress that had been helping them glaring at her.
 
“I'm sorry,” Rose retracted all of the vines she had been using to tease the poor Draco. “See, all tentacles put up.”
 
“So are you getting the outfit?” Sonja asked as she joined her Harem Sisters. “It'd be a shame not to.”
 
“I think I'll pass for now,” Haleigh walked back into the dressing room and switched back into her regular clothes. She did buy several pairs of jeans, shorts, skirts, and t-shirts though. Sonja seemed comfortable buying a belt that belonged to a larger girl. “What's with the belt?”
 
“It's simple.” Sonja said as she took off the silk top. She placed the belt around her chest, her nipples poking through the metallic hoops that linked it. “It's much better for me to do this. Now I don't have this cloth turning me on every time I move.”
 
“Hey, let me see that.” Rose took the silk clothe and smiled. She went into the dressing room and reemerged a few minutes later. “Ta-da. Instant panties.” Rose had taken the length of silk and used it as a make shift fundoishi. She loved the way that she had twisted it so that it bit into her neither regions. It covered her up, made her horny, and still didn't interfere with her photosynthesis.
. . . . . . . . . .
Breanna couldn't concentrate on shopping. Jira had gone off an left her by herself, and good riddance. The thing that was preventing her from blowing the wad of credits that Marcus had given her was the thought that he might not be as bad as what she was making him out to be. 'All tamers are alike aren't they? They only care about two things, who's got the most powerful harem, and how many girls they can sink their dicks into,” Breanna shoved the shirt she was looking at back onto the rack a bit to hard, bending the wire frame hanger. “Fuck it.” She walked out of the store, not buying anything, but rather thinking that just maybe things were beginning to look up for her.
. . . . . . . . . .
Anahi yawned. Erin was taking Danika through the store's entire inventory, and forcing the poor Ulupi to try on everything that would fit her serpentine body. Some how during the trips between shops they had rejoined with most of the rest of the harem. Anahi was about the only one that wasn't to excited about the prospect of buying new clothes, even with the rest of the harem joining the group. “Where's Master and Cat?”
 
Sonja looked away from the silken dress she was holding up to her shoulders. “I don't know. I'll bet we'll find him balls deep in her or something out back in the alley.” Sonja placed the dress back on the rack. She would have loved to try some of the clothing on, but her nipples were to damned sensitive after evolving.
 
Danika sighed as she tried on yet another outfit. It was bad enough that the dressing rooms were to small, most of her tail was sticking out of the curtains, for her to change in. But now she had not only Erin picking out outfits for her to try on, but Rose had joined in as well. “Sonja, can't you do anything? You're the Alpha, make 'em stop, please?” Danika asked as she came out in another Noir Maid outfit.
 
“Come on you two. Leave Danika alone to pick out what she wants. If you do, I'll tell you something good,” Sonja smirked. The prospect of a bit of unknown knowledge was too tempting to pass up. Almost instantly the entire harem was gathered around her. “Marcus's birthday is next week.” The statement pulled a few startled gasps from the Domesticated and the Thresholds.
 
“Why didn't you tell us sooner? We could have been shopping for gifts instead of playing around.” Haleigh hugged Sonja as hard as she could. Suddenly she wanted to spend the credits given to her on more than just herself. She dashed out of the store to buy something for Marcus.
 
“So when is his birthday?” Rose asked as she stretched. She was getting just a bit bored with everyone here and her 'doll' gone. Danika wouldn't be a bad choice to dress up, but with her serpentine body, there just wasn't as many options.
 
“It's in less than a week.” Sonja replied. Marcus had a birthday that was easy enough to remember, it was exactly a week after Sadie Poken's Day. Her and Mika used to get together and do something nice for him every year. This year was going to be different, especially with more girls and the absence of Mika.
. . . . . . . . . .
“You know we can't stay in here any longer,” Marcus warned. He leaned over Jira and lightly bit her ear. The Tigress moaned under his touch, but even that was muffled by her hand. Grasping her hips, Marcus slammed himself into Jira for the last time. His seed erupted into the panting Tigress once again, this time filling up her anal cavity. Using his dick as a plug, Marcus lifted Jira's panties off of the floor with his tail. Sitting down on the cover of the toilet he had Jira put them on, removing his cock from her ass at the last possible second. “Think you can go all day without spilling a drop?”
 
“Is that a challenge?” Jira purred happily. What had intended to be a single quickie had turned into multiple quickies in the stall. She felt a wave of pleasure as Marcus pulled the panties tight enough to dig into the sensitive flesh between her legs.
 
“Yeah it is. If you loose, then you get to spend the entire night as Rose's plaything,” Marcus joked as he gently pushed Jira off of him.
 
“Oh yeah? That's not that bad of a punishment. What happens if I win?” Jira teased as she rolled her skirt back down. Thankfully it had avoided all traces of the activities that just taken place.
 
“Then you get to spend the entire night as my play toy.” Marcus grinned. He tucked himself back into his jeans before sneaking out of the restroom. He was passing a Doggirl in the hallway when her sensitive nose picked up the smell of the quick taming. Marcus winked in response, causing the Near Human to blush.
. . . . . . . . . .
“I've told you! I've already got a Master, and he's in the mall!” Haleigh said as she was forced back against a wall. Some random tamer had seen her and had the impression that a Draco by herself in a Tamer's shop meant that she didn't have a tamer of her own.
 
“Come on, don't give me that.” The guy said sweetly. While his voice sounded calming and soothing, it was disturbingly creepy and disgusting. “I'm sure you're just scared to come back to me. Don't worry, I can protect you.”
 
Haleigh began to desperately look for a way out. The man had two girls out, and they bother looked stronger than she was. There wasn't any trace of life in either of their eyes. It was like looking into the eyes of a girl that had just been ran through a Level 5. There was no sense of self. No nothing. “JIRA!”
 
Jira turned her head in the direction that her name was called. She had just stepped into a shop for tamers with Marcus, and already someone was calling out to her. It had to be a member of the harem, there wasn't anyone else in town that knew her by name. “Marcus, it's Haleigh.”
 
Marcus nodded as Jira placed a hand on his shoulder and pointed to a corner. It was a decent place to go, it was blocked from view by clothing racks, and the security cameras didn't look like they covered that spot. “Let's go.” Marcus rushed over. When he saw Haleigh what he liked to call the 'Male Possession' streak flared up in him. “Hey, jackass. What're you trying to do to my Draco?” Marcus said as him and Jira slipped between the two girls.
 
“Your Draco? I believe you're mistaken.” Just from the sound of his voice Marcus could tell that he didn't like him. The man reminded him of a con artists. “I'm just trying to reclaim Heather. We were separated yesterday you see. Some how her ball got knocked off of my belt in a crowd. I'm hoping that we can settle this in a civil manner. I would so hate to have the authorities get involved.”
 
Marcus calmed his growling Tigress. “I think I can manage that. What would you want in return for 'your' Draco?” Marcus asked eying the two girls on either side of him. From what he could tell, they were both human looking. Without scanning them he would have to wait to see them in battle to even guess as to what they were.
 
“I'm sorry. No amount of money could possibly come close to paying for the 'girl I love so dearly. She's priceless.” Marcus was really beginning to get pissed off. The guy was spouting out nonsensical Minotaura shit over someone that he'd probably never even meet.
 
“Tell you what. Let's get mall security down here, as well as with a couple of psychics. That way when they all tell me that I'm in the clear you'll have someone there to restrain me when I try to kick your ass up and down every isle.” Marcus grinned as he kicked over a display. Sure he'd have to pay a fine, sure he'd probably be asked to leave, but there was no quicker way of summoning the authorities than with a bit of chaos. Sure enough, no sooner than he was about ready to kick over his third rack of clothing, two pokégirls appeared.
 
“Sir, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave now,” The canine type ordered as she stepped forward. If memory served him correctly, then the girl was a Hound. The other one was much harder to place. He knew that she had to know Teleport, either that or they'd gotten here quicker than what he thought possible.
 
“I will. I'll even pay for anything that's been broken. I just need your help with something first.” Marcus said as he started righting the clothing racks he had tipped over.
 
“Sir?” The Hound looked at him questioningly.
 
“Just kick the both of them out already Sarah and be done with it. I've got better things to do than to waste my time babysitting a couple of males.” The second security guard said as she looked away.
 
“I'm sure you do. I was wondering if you'd be able to summon anyone that would be able to help us settle something. This dude over here,” Marcus jerked a thumb at the infuriated looking tamer, “won't stop rattling on about how I had some how stolen his Draco during Sadie Poken's Day. First, I didn't steal no one. Second, I've never had anyone in my harem that could force the will of others. And Third, it couldn't have been me because Haleigh,” Marcus indicated the appropriate Draco, “was still a Mynx back then. She only evolved yesterday.”
 
“I think you missed the part about me no caring.” The human looking pokégirl said as she glared at him. “I told you to take your harem and vacate the premises immediately.”
 
“The hell you did.” Marcus blurted out. “You didn't tell me a damned thing like that. You suggested that's what you should do with us because you had better things to do.” Marcus recalled Jira and Haleigh, dropped about 5,000 credits off at the counter, and stormed out to find the rest of his harem. Instead of looking around the mall, which could have taken a while, Marcus actually climbed on top of the fountain he was at earlier, took a deep breath, and yelled at the top of his lungs for everyone.
 
“WHAT IN SUKEBE'S BLUE FUCKIN' BALLS ARE YOU DOING?!”
 
“Nice to see you to Bre,” Marcus smiled as he tried to wring the water off of his pant legs with them on. “Looks like the rest of the gang's all here too.” Marcus walked out of the mall, ignoring the questions that his harem was throwing his way.
 
“Marcus N. Waters?”
 
“Yeah?” Marcus had recalled most of his harem, all save Sonja. He was walking back along the streets as he filled his Alpha in as to what had happened in the store. To his dismay he had turned around to see two blue uniforms, one puffy red-with-black-strips tail, and a double set of handcuffs.
 
“We would like to talk with you for a while. Will you please recall your pokégirl and follow us back to the Precinct?” The Officer Jenny was professional, he'd giver her that much. But unless he missed his guess, he could swear that the Growlie that was accompanying her was hoping that he'd run.
 
“Do I have much of a choice?” Marcus asked as he reached for the balls at his belt. He let his hand linger there for a moment, just enough to cause the police duo to tense up.
 
“Yes you do. Either you can come in willingly for questioning, or you can be arrested.” The Growlie smirked.
 
“Then I choose,” Marcus said as he slowly drew a ball from his belt, the Officer Jenny tired to hide it, but Marcus could easily see her hand going for the revolver at her hip. “To come along quietly for now.” Marcus smiled as he placed the ball back on his belt. “Come on Sonja.”
“Sir, you were asked to recall your girl,” the Officer Jenny stressed.
 
“I know. But since you asked, I don't really have to do shit about it.” Marcus said as he walked past the two girls. He stopped a few feet behind them and looked up and down the street. “Umm.... which way is it to the Police Station?”
 
The Growlie sighed. “This way, come on.” She lead the way, followed by the Tamer, his girl, and finally her partner bringing up the rear.
. . . . . . . . . .
Marcus yawned for the umpteenth time. He had been placed in a single, well lit room, with nothing more than a table and two chairs. “You know that they're treating us like some kind of criminal, don't you?” Of all times for that damned beast to rear it's ugly head, why'd it have to be when he was alone and had a hard time tuning it out? “Which is why I didn't put up a struggle while coming here. There's a method to my madness after all,” Marcus hoped that the damned thing would stay quiet with that, but he knew better.
 
“Look. All I'm saying is let me out to take care of this. I can have us out of here in less than a jiffy,” the thing told him. “Look fuzzy dick, I ain't leaving here without our harem. And trust me, I'm using our very loosely.” Marcus ignored the ranting that went on from the beast. Apparently when he was in his true form, and not using the tattoo, he had better control over it. Marcus looked up as an officer came into the room. “It's about bloody time. You have any idea how boring it is to sit around in here with nothing to do? I couldn't even masturbate.”
“Charming, but masturbating is the least of your troubles. Do you know a Mr. Abdul-Bari?”
 
“Should I?”
 
“Yes, you should. He's the person who's Draco you stole,” the officer flopped a thick folder down on the desk. “I'm quite surprised that you were allowed to become a Tamer, considering your record.”
 
“What record? I haven't done shit,” Marcus growled.
 
“You have over three dozen cases of illegal trespassing, not to mention one severe case of attempted Pokégirl theft,” the officer smirked as the rowdy tamer seemed to calm down a bit at that last bit of news. “It says here that your Tamer's License was suspended for three years. You finally get it back and you go right back to your old ways, you freak.”
 
“I didn't try to kidnap, abduct, steal, or pilfer anyone or any pokégirl. If you'd read the entire fucking case you would have found out that I wasn't at fault on that. And the trespassing, those were all taken care of. Not once did I ever do anything that would warrant this Minotaura shit.” Marcus leaned back and crossed his arms. Of all the times for some of the shit he'd done as a kid to finally catch up with him now.
 
“So you say. However, you will be detained until further notice, and then you'll be released. In the mean time I'll make sure that your once harem is taken care of, personally.” The officer smiled as he snapped his fingers. Two girls in matching police attire came in, cuffed Marcus, and dragged him out of the room. The officer ignored the insults and curses that the riled up tamer threw his way as he was dragged out.
 
Marcus waited in the holding cell for what seemed like hours. He was tempted to give into the beast raging around inside of him several times, neither one appreciated being locked up for something that neither one of them did. Just as he was about to get up and attempt to break down the barred door, Marcus was face to face with the same Jenny, he thought, that was responsible for 'bringing him in.'
 
“I'm sorry for the inconvenience Sir. Your story seemed to check out at all levels. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the entire Pousse police force.” she quickly slid the holding cell open and allowed the white, spiky haired youth to leave.
 
“I swear if I find so much as a single hair missing from my harem I'm bringing this entire building down on your ears.” Marcus grumbled as he retrieved his things. So far today he'd tamed a Tigress someplace he wasn't supposed to, got into a fight over Haleigh, had a match for Haleigh, and managed to piss off his already infuriated Hyperdoll. He had talent to be in this much shit before lunch. Pulling out his 'dex he checked the time. It was almost noon, and still he'd yet to hear anything from Lee. Taking the time to get some training in, Marcus stopped into a local shop, bought enough ingredients for a multitude of sandwiches, and started walking out of town. He stopped about twenty minutes south of Pousse. The ocean could be seen off to the east, which would be the perfect place for lunch.
 
“Come on out everyone,” Marcus called as he released the entire harem. “Training.” Was all he said. He paired everyone up. Of course there was some oddities, such as Anahi and Erin teaming up against Jira and Breanna. Marcus had thought that the two weren't quite seeing eye to eye, and yet they were paired up. Shrugging off Marcus let them train the way that they wanted. It was one of the quickest ways to get them to perfect the moves that they already knew before learning the ones that they didn't.
 
While his harem held practice battles by themselves, Marcus trained his own body. He figured on making it tough, doing five – 100 reps of sit ups, pull ups, and push ups. Marcus concentrated as he did the push ups, his were always a bit different. Instead of doing the traditional lean-to push ups, Marcus found a way to make them a bit more exciting. He preformed the regular, the one hand, the finger tipped, and inverted push ups. It was the best way to make sure that he did everything was balanced right.
 
“What the hell is he doing?” Breanna asked as she watched her Tamer stand on his hands, only to bring his head close to touching the ground before pushing himself back up.
 
“What's it look like? He's doing push ups.” Sonja answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
 
“But he's upside down,” Breanna couldn't stop from wondering exactly what her luck was like to end up with a tamer that stood on his head in order to do push ups.
 
“Because if you train normally, you don't build all of the muscles.” Haleigh pipped in. She'd remembered the Gym teacher from her old school saying something along those lines. “By doing a different routine every day you can build muscles quicker and faster than normal. Though it looks like Master is going for more of a 'Toned' look rather than 'Beefy'.”
 
“Hey, what's all the hubbub?” Marcus asked. He walked over to his collection of girls, while still on his hands. Marcus looked up his body to see the collected faces of his harem. “Is my tail knotted or something?” Marcus swung his extra appendage around to look at it. There wasn't anything that he could see wrong with it.
 
“No, you just look ridiculous like that,” Breanna ignored the slight growl that she got from Jira. The Tigress had made it perfectly clear how deep her loathing was, which was why she was confused at the reason she willingly joined up with her during the practice matches.
 
“Will you just leave him alone? He can do whatever he wants, and you don't have any say in the matter.” Jira was just as fed up with the Hyperdoll's attitude as everyone else was, the only thing is that she felt sorry for the girl. The Bimbo line evolved into the Hyperdoll the same way that the Tigress line evolved into the dreaded Panthress. The only difference between herself and Breanna, that she could see at least, was that Marcus had been able to save her before it came to her evolving. “And what's the deal? Aren't you supposed to be leaving the harem by now to track down and make your previous Master's life a living hell?”
 
Breanna smirked. “I want to, but he's dead.”
 
The blunt honesty of the last statement caused Marcus to fall over, “Dead? You mean 'Dead-dead'? How the hell did that happen?”
 
“It's easy. I killed him with my own two hands.” Breanna smiled again. She could see her 'harem-sisters' beginning to shift over to Marcus, as if they were protecting him. “Is that a problem?”
 
“How in the world did you manage to survive? The league would have your head if they knew,” Rose was dumbfounded. The idea of a Pokégirl actually killing a human and living to tell the tale, well it just didn't happen. Especially since the days following Mao Shin Mao. Killing a human was suicide.
 
“Because he wasn't my tamer when she died,” Breanna couldn't help but smirk once again at the confused faces surrounding her. “It's simple when you think about it. While we were traveling, he was abducted by Buzzbreasts. He was being turned into one when I was released from my ball. I escaped, brought him with me, raped him while he finished changing, and then slaughtered him with my own two hands.”
 
“Good, then at least I don't have anything to worry about.” Marcus said as he rolled up. Everyone gave him a look that seemed to ask 'What the fuck?' “I haven't done nothing to her. Honestly. Okay, so maybe I embarrassed you a bit when I jumped into a fountain to yell for everyone.” Marcus admitted that that probably wasn't the best of ideas. He was probably banned from that mall for a while. Which sucked, he was wanting to pick up one of those portable healing thingies. “But other than that, what have I done to you that would warrant me being slaughtered in my sleep over? Honestly?”
 
“You haven't done anything...... yet....” Breanna huffed. Marcus seemed to be thinking about something, but for the life of her, she couldn't figure out what it was. Marcus was a hard person to predict. As soon as she thought she had him figured out, he'd go and do the opposite of what she thought, and she'd only known him for less than 24 hours.
 
“Look. I don't know if you're happy here or not. So I'm leaving it to you,” Marcus said as he pulled off the last ball on his belt. He enlarged it before tossing the orb to the 'girl that inhabited it. “If you want to stay then you're more than welcome to. If you don't want to, then there's really nothing I can do to stop you from leaving.” Marcus sat there patiently as Breanna seemed to muddle it over.
 
“What're you playing at? You asked me the same thing yesterday,” Breanna tossed her pokèball back at Marcus just a bit harder than she should have. She smirked as the tailed tamer shook the feeling back into his hand. “I still haven't decided, so quit trying to get rid of me.”
 
Marcus smiled. “I ain't trying to get rid of ya, I'm just tryin' to make sure everyone's taken care of and happy. 'Course that means that I have no idea on what to do with you, and that's because you're pissed off 24/7.” Marcus rolled back before spring boarding up on his feet. He replaced the ball on it's clip on his belt, then pointed at the ocean. “Come on ladies. We're spending the rest of the time at the ocean! BEACH PARTY!” Marcus took off running as fast as he could towards the large body of salt water.
 
Everyone seemed to stare at their fleeing tamer for a moment before taking off running. Marcus was curving around a tree when Sonja rushed past him. Anahi passed him soon enough, followed by most of the rest of his harem. “Remind me never to be running for my life with you girls.” Marcus laughed as he finally arrived. He looked around before the realization came that he had forgotten one important fact. “SHIT! Sonja, you stay here with the rest of the harem. Anahi, with me.” Marcus hopped onto the back of the large Wolf Queen. “I need you to take me back to were we just came from. I forgot the 'pack.” Marcus grabbed hold of the soft fur on Anahi's back as she took off on all fours back to where they had come. Luckily his pack was still there. Without stopping Marcus leaned over, used his tail to grab hold of the handle on the top, and lifted the 'pack up as Anahi turned around it. The returning trip to the ocean was just as fast as the first one. When he returned nearly everyone was enjoying themselves in the ocean.
 
“Come on in! The water's great!” Sonja yelled. The water was slightly cold, but it still felt wonderful. She grinned as Marcus stripped off his clothing quickly and had Anahi throw him. A naked, tailed ass flew over her head before landing cannonball in the water. Taking a deep breath Sonja disappeared under the surface, swimming out to Marcus.
 
“Can you believe them? Willing getting into salt water.” Jira asked as she leaned back to bask in the sun along with Rose.
 
“Hey, salt water isn't all that bad. It's a shame that you can't enjoy it like the rest of us.” Rose said as she laid down on her stomach. She propped herself up on her elbows, keeping from smashing her breasts to far into the sand.
 
“Hey, my fur, and salt water, just don't mix.” Jira said as she crossed her arms.
 
“Honey, your fur and any water, period, doesn't mix. That is as long as our Master isn't there to keep your mind off of it.” Rose snickered. “You should be more like Anahi.” She smiled as she watched the large Wolf Queen tear through the water enjoying herself.
 
“Says you. You don't have my nose. I can already smell that wet Doggirl smell from here.” Jira chuckled as she waved a hand in front of her face a few times.
 
“Marco!” Danika shouted. While her hearing wasn't anywhere near the level of Jira's or Anahi's, but even she could hear the splashing, laughter, and calls of 'Pollo' from everyone else. She made excellent use of her serpentine body, using it to cut through the water as if she was a water type. She opened her eyes and smiled as she grabbed hold of a long furred appendage. “Got you Master!”
 
“Okay, okay, okay.” Marcus cringed. Sure he was laughing and having fun, but having someone jerk a knot in your tail wasn't the most pleasant feeling in the world. “Better hurry,” Marcus closed his eyes and began the game all over again.
 
“Don't you think we should have checked for ferals first?” Erin asked as she hunched down on the sand next to Rose and Jira. Breanna was the only other member not in the water enjoying herself, but she was sulking by herself next to the water a few yards in the opposite direction. No one bothered the Hyperdoll however, and she seemed content to leave everyone else alone.
 
“What for? We're still to close to Pousse for anything big. The only thing we might have to worry about would be a Polishag or something.” Rose waved it off. The likely hood of anything more ferocious than that was doubtful. “And all we would have to worry about if it was that would be having one trying to tame Master Marcus in front of us.”
 
“I can promise you one thing. If one tries, then she's sushi.” Jira growled.
 
Danika took a deep breath before diving under the water. She not only had the advantage thanks to her powerful tail, but the wings that she kept wrapped around her body at all times were even finally coming into use. She was using them as large flippers, helping her to propel herself through the water quickly. She turned around, seeing where the blackened silhouette of her Master was floating on the surface when a dark shadow quickly darted between them. Alarmed she broke for the surface. “GET MASTER OUT OF THE WATER NOW!”
 
Anahi turned and faced the shouting Ulupi. Being the closest to Marcus she did what any Wolf Queen would do to keep their Master safe, she picked him up and threw him into the air.
 
Rose heard the shouting from inland. Bracing herself on the ground, she caused a large number of vines to shoot from the flower on her back. The vines criss-crossed beneath the falling human, creating a net that caught him easily. She safely brought him down to the ground, just as a long slender, serpentine body erupted from the water and tackled the Wolf Queen below the depths. “Looks like you're getting your seafood.”
 
“Looks like no Polishag I've ever seen before,” Jira shot back as she rushed to check on Marcus.
 
Anahi tried to fend off her attacker with a Fire Punch. She forgot that fire attacks were non-existent when they were used while surrounded with water on all sides. She barely was able to land a hit, the water causing her to loose much of the force behind her punch. She knew she was in trouble. Her attacker was joined by another, and together they strove to bring Anahi further away from the surface. Unable to break free of their grasps, Anahi shifted forms. The sudden loss of mass allowed her to slip free of her attackers before she shifted back into her Battle form. She paddled as fast as she could back to the surface. She had just reached the top when her legs were grabbed. She couldn't pull the same trick twice, her assailants had dug their claws into her legs. Her arms flailed about helplessly just above the surface, but her face to far away to breath.
 
“ROSE!” Marcus shouted.
 
“I'm on it,” Rose said as she brought her self up to a kneeling position. She could see the large flailing arms of Anahi, and those were the targets of her Vine Bondage. She wrapped the vines around both hands and pulled. “Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit,” Rose kept repeating the same word over and over again. What ever was holding onto Anahi was not only pulling the Wolf Queen into the crushing black abyss, but was also pulling her along with it. She was thankful when she felt a large set of furred arms wrap around her waist and helped stabilize her.
“I gotcha,” Erin said as she planted both feet into the sand.
 
Danika dove beneath the surface again. She used her tail as well as her wings to torpedo herself through the water. She slashed out at both of the ferals pulling Anahi down as she rushed by. Her claws found flesh, and ripped open several large wounds on the bodies.
 
Anahi found herself being quickly brought back up to the surface of the water by the ropes wrapped around her wrists. She inhaled a double lungful of fresh air when she was finally on the surface, and she was quickly dragged along the surface to shore. “Thanks....”
 
“No problem.” Rose unwrapped the vines from around Anahi's wrists. “You have any idea of what was down there?”
 
“It looked like swimming Nagas,” Danika said as she reached shore just behind Anahi. Everyone was out of the water thankfully.
 
Marcus pulled out the 'dex out and began searching through the entries. “It was most likely an Eelara.” Marcus read the likeliest breed.
 
“They're here,” Jira said as her fur bristled up. On both sides were the cause of the end to their merriment.
 
“Well, looks like you'll get your sushi after all,” Rose said as she dusted herself free of sand.
 
“Danika, Rose, you both get one.” Marcus ordered. When fighting a water type, send in the plants.
 
There was a simultaneous acknowledgment from the two plant types. Danika took the one on the left while Rose took the one on the right. “I already got them pretty good, but you still need to be careful,” Danika warned.
 
“Right.” Rose was seriously upset. Soaking up the sun had made her horny, and she was fixing to get ready to snag Marcus away for a bit of hanky-panky, that is until the fun was ruined by the ferals. Rose could see the wounds that were inflicted by Danika, one side of the feral serpent was dripping blood. Rose held her hand up and smiled. A large flurry of leaves came swirling out in a vortex at the Feral.
 
Danika hadn't a clue as to what to do. “Calm down Dannie, start out with Grass Floor.” She followed Marcus's orders. She sank both hands into the ground. The area around them suddenly had grass rapidly growing from the sand. “Follow up with Lane on my signal.” Danika nodded as she watched the Eelara charged. She wasn't as graceful on land as she had been in the water, but she was still fast. Her anticipation grew as the Eelara got closer and closer. When she finally heard the 'Now!' from Marcus she let loose with the Lance. Dozens of bamboo stalks shot through the sand and grass. Some of them trapped the Eelara from moving forward, while others actually pierced the tail of the serpentine 'girl.
 
Marcus turned his attention to Rose. The Venuswhore seemed to be content waiting and keeping the Eelara back with flurry after flurry of Razor Leaf. “Come on Rose, finish her.”
 
“Sure thing Honey,” Rose smiled. While she was keeping the Eelara back with her Razor Leaf barrage, she had been storing up energy for another attack. Both hands stretched out in front of her, vines shooting up from the sand to entrap the Eelara. She was nearly free when a large beam of energy blasted her backwards. Rose had dropped to her hands and feet, stuck her ass up in the air, and let loose with a large Solar Beam. The Plant technique actually lifted and carried the screaming Eelara backwards. “Is that done enough?”
 
Marcus could only open and close his mouth silently as he watched. He was distracted from the intense beam by the round posterior that was in his face before a large beam of energy swallowed up the Eelara and deposited her nearly thirty feet behind where she had been hit. “Yeah, I think that would do it.” Marcus looked over to where the trapped and skewered Eelara was tearing out bamboo shoots from her tail. “Danika. Think you can wear her down a bit more for me to capture her?”
 
Danika looked at where the Eelara was struggling to get free. “I-I think so. But why don't you just have Rose or someone else finish her off?”
 
“Nope. I choose you for a reason. And if you decide to go into close combat, stay away from her blood.” Marcus advised.
 
“Come on D, this would be the perfect time for you to practice your Razor Leaf.” Rose said as she quickly walked Danika through how to use the technique.
 
Danika took a deep breath and flapped her 'wings'. From out of no where dozens of spinning leaves were thrown forward. The leaves sliced through the bamboo, as well as the Eelara. Several flaps and the Eelara had passed out due to blood loss. “Thank you Rose,” Danika hugged the more experienced Plant Type.
 
“Don't worry about it Sweetie. All you have to do is keep practicing and you'll have it perfected in no time,” Rose patted the Ulupi on the back.
 
Marcus stood up, dusted the sand off his naked rear end with his tail, plucked two pokéballs from the 'pack, and captured both of the Eelaras. “You okay Anahi?” The Wolf Queen nodded her human head. She looked more worn out than hurt, which was good. “Come on, let's eat.” Marcus placed the two Eelaras in the pack's pouch and pulled out the ingredients for the sandwiches. “Who's hungry?”
 
Danika was a bit shaken up, but right now hunger was causing her to forget about her battle with the Eelara. “Thank you Master,” she took the sandwiched offered to her. She found herself laughing, despite her best attempts not to, when Jira caught wind of the canned tuna. The Tigress was sitting cow-girl style in Marcus's lap, rubbing her bare breasts in his face as she attempted to grab the can he was keeping from her.
 
“Come on Danika, let's get a hug,” Marcus walked over, minus one can of tuna, and draped both arms around the Ulupi. “You did great today,” Marcus smiled. He could feel Danika's body wrapping around him, but he honestly didn't care. “Hey, anyone seen Breanna?” Marcus looked around from the confines of Danika's coils when he realized that he had yet to see hide or hair of the Hyperdoll since the attack.
 
“Umm.... I think she was over that way.” Danika said as she pointed to where she last remembered seeing Breanna on the beach. She uncoiled herself from Marcus, “Are you going to go look for her?”
 
“Yeah, I need to. I don't like the idea of one of my girls disappearing on my watch. It don't matter if they're happy with me or not,” Marcus said as he looked around. The harem, except for Breanna and Danika, were sitting around on what remained of Danika's Grass Floor technique. With them enjoying their meal Marcus figured that he only needed Dankia's help, that is unless he wanted to bring Anahi to track her down. “Be back in a second girls.”
 
“Alrighty,” Sonja replied. “Anahi, Danika, head out with Marcus.”
 
The Wolf Queen stood up in her human form. She was clutching a large sandwich as she followed her master and the snake-bodied pokégirl. “Do you want I to track Bitchy?”
 
“It's 'Do you want me to track Bitchy,' and I'd be happy if you did. Then again I'm surprised you're even offering,” Marcus talked as he walked. Dankia lead the way, she was the only one of the trio that had actually seen the foul-tempered pokégirl's last position. When they arrived the entire area was covered in pools of smoldering liquids. “What in the Thousand's names happened here?”
 
“Master..... Other water snakes were here. I smell blood that's been recently spilt.” Anahi tensed up for a second before shifting forms. She stuffed what was left of her sandwich into her muzzle, quickly swallowed, and began to look around. “Master, there are strange markings over here on the ground.”
 
Marcus rushed over. The strange markings on the ground that Anahi was talking about were letters. “Piss.... off....” Marcus blinked in confusion. “What the fuck? I try and do good, take her in when there was nothing else for her and I get 'Piss off?'” Marcus couldn't believe the gall of the Hyperdoll. “What ever, come on. Let's get back to the party. After wards we might as well try and do some training while we play.” Marcus lead the way back to the group. “Breanna's up and left. She left a message in the sand though. A very thoughtful 'Piss Off,' from her to us.” Marcus pretended not to notice the wave of rolling eyes before him.
 
“Good riddance to bad rubbish.” Haleigh said as she poked at the scales on her arm. “Um, Master. Can I stay out of battles for now? I want to give my scales a chance to harden up before another match.” Haleigh didn't fault Marcus for not knowing that a newly evolved Draco's scales were soft. Hell, she just found out about it during the battle earlier today.
 
“Shit. Haleigh, I'm so sorry.” Marcus began to panic a bit. “You sure you're not injured or anything?”
 
“I'm fine. The Healing Cycle that you placed me through healed me right up.” Haleigh used the small claw on her index finger to spear a pickle that was brought for sandwiches.
 
“Come on. You've gotta be getting thirsty by now.” Jira said as she got up. She untied the string behind her neck that kept the flap of her shirt from exposing her breasts. “You can have some from me now.”
 
Marcus grinned as he stepped forward. He sat down, pulled Jira to his lap, clamped his mouth about her left nipple and drank deeply. He teased the Tigress while he drank, his tail rubbing up between her legs.
 
“Hey, you better not start anything you're not prepared to finish.” Jira growled. She had been temporarily satisfied in the mall, but the few quickies that were had didn't do anything other than making her want even more.
 
“Come on, you didn't get enough at the mall?” Marcus asked, his teeth still biting down on her nipple.
 
“Excuse me? You did what in the mall?” Sonja asked as she stood up, arms crossed.
 
“Jira broke away from everyone, and then dragged me into the bathroom were we had some good, old fashioned, dirty, raunchy, public-bathroom sex,” Marcus over played it a bit, but the reaction on everyone's faces was worth it.
 
“You cheater! We all promised not to do anything like that. You were supposed to have been watching Breanna!” Sonja was furious. Before they were thrown out she had been planning on the exact same thing.
 
“No, you told me to keep an eye on the bitch. I told you I would until she pissed me off.” Jira turned around on Marcus's lap, straddling him in a reverse cow-girl position. “Guess what? She pissed me off.” Jira might have been at a lower level than the HeroKapoeraa, but she was some how still holding just as much of a presence.
 
“If you two are wanting to have a super-powered smack down, would you mind me moving someplace where I wasn't being used as the arena floor?” Marcus couldn't pull himself away, Jira's thighs were squeezing him to much. “Seriously though, let me move.” Marcus squirmed underneath the Tigress, but she didn't budge. Not one to be ignored, Marcus used his tail and slowly wormed it's way down the front of Jira's shorts.
 
“Marcus, we're trying to have an argument here. Do you mind not ruining the mood?” Sonja asked as she noticed the tan-furred tail wriggling into Jira's shorts.
 
“You want me to stay beneath a bunch of women that could turn me into a stain on the Earth when they're pissed off at each other?” Marcus raised an eyebrow. “I'd rather live to tame another day. 'Course I want to keep ya'll alive to share that day with me. Now let me up.”
 
Reluctantly Jira stood up, which allowed Marcus to free himself. “Okay, now continue.”
 
“I can't believe you would do that. I told you to keep an eye on Breanna. I wanted you to try and reach her damnit. What happens if she wonders off and gets into trouble? She's still legally registered to Marcus.”
 
Marcus was surprised. He knew that Sonja was smarter than she let on, but he didn't expect her to have thought out the entire thing already. Even he hadn't thought of that possibility yet. “She's right you know. Guess that means that you'll have to be punished.” Marcus eyed the bamboo canes. “Come with me.”
 
Marcus lead Jira over to the bamboo stalks. He forced her to cut out a cane with her own claws. When he had the bamboo cane in hand, he had her bound upside down to several thick stalks with Rose's Vine Bondage. Anahi's claws cut away at the fabrics covering her once clothed bottom. “Sonja, you're the Alpha. How many strokes?”
 
Sonja blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected anything more than a warning to happen. “Come on Marcus, is this really necessary?”
 
“I think it is. If she can't follow the orders of the girl I placed in Alpha it might lead to something happening later on down the road.” Marcus said as he swished the stick. “Rose, Itchy Powder ready?”
 
Rose blinked in surprise. “Uhh, sure. Just give me a second.” Rose had a small dose of Itchy Powder ready by the time she walked across the area and stood next to Marcus. “What do you need it for?”
 
Marcus pulled the Venuswhore down, whispered into her ear, and winked.
 
“Next time, remind me to ignore Sonja orders next,” Rose shivered. Carefully she brought out a small amount of the powder and used a vine to distribute it across the Tigress's semen caked cunt. To make sure that the powder penetrated the fur she even used her vines to penetrate both openings.
 
“Your punishment's gonna fit the crime.” Marcus did his best mad scientist impersonation. “You get to writhe in agony with an itch that'll never get scratched.” Marcus took a stance, and as if he was using the cane as a bat, he swung it at the exposed bottom of the Tigress. The cane connected with a meaty smack.
 
Jira was struggling to get free. The vines bound her wrists and feet so she couldn't cut them with her claws, and the combination of the paddling and the Itching Powder was torture. After the seventh smack Jira screamed in orgasmic bliss.
 
“You know, it's not really punishment if you enjoy it so much you actually cum,” Marcus said with a disappointed look on his face.
 
“Please, punish me more,” Jira begged. She did her best to use her tail to try and satisfy the growing itch between her legs, but someone was holding it down. “Please, please, please...” Jira couldn't believe she was begging. She had been beaten and tortured before with her previous master, but this was different. The pleasure was intense, and yet so was the torture of not being able to satisfy herself.
 
“Well geeze. Rose, have fun. But no penetration.” Marcus made sure the tentacle happy Venuswhore knew the rules before walking away. He sat back, pulled up a sandwich, and ate while enjoying the soothing sounds of Jira begging and panting for release. Just as he was about to take a second bite from his sandwich Marcus got one hell of a nice feeling in his groin. “Damn vibrate,” Marcus pulled the Vibrating Pokédex from his pocket. He had set it to vibrate, and boy was it going at it. Marcus hadn't given his com-number to very many people, but he could guess who it was. Flipping the 'dex open Marcus answered. “Marcus N. Waters. Inter-League Sex-God, how can I make you squea- hey! Who threw the rock!” Marcus looked behind him, the same direction that the rock that had smacked him in the back of his head had come from. Seeing nothing more than whistling pokégirls, Marcus turned his attention back to the video-call. “Hey Lee, what's up?”
 
"Hey. We were about to head out, and wanted to know if you'd like to meet up and see your sister off. We've got a few things to talk about, though I'd feel better talking about 'em in person." Lee replied. Marcus was able to see Ann scooting into view of the cam.
 
“Sure. But I'm already south of Pousse right now. If ya still need to talk to me then just follow the beach south for about twenty minutes. You ought to be able to see me and mine down here. Tell ya what. Bring some alcohol and we'll have ourselves a party.” Marcus grinned. “Hey Ann, looking sexy to day as usual.” Marcus waved to the Sundog coming up behind Lee.
"Well, I don't see why not, a few of the girls want to see the ocean anyway. We'll have some hiking to do, so it'll probably be a couple of hours." Ann seemed almost surprise at the answer that Lee gave which was odd considering that it was what they wanted.

“See ya when I see ya.” Marcus waved and hung up. He just hoped that Lee was in better shape than what he made it sound like. A couple of hours for a hike that took him twenty minutes? “Oh well. Gives us time to finish doing whatever.” Marucs laughed as he turned back to the sandwich that he had been ignoring.
 
Marcus looked down at the 'dex. It'd been nearly three quarters of an hour since Jira's punishment began, and the Tigress had been kept on the brink of her orgasm by Rose, but the Venuswhore was careful never to push her over the edge and allow her release. “Promise to do what Sonja says from now on?”
 
Jira was panting hard. No matter what she tried she was denied release at every turn. Rose was doing an effective job of preventing her orgasm, and it was driving her insane. “Yes, yesyesyesyesyesyes YES! I'll do anything you or Sonja want. Please, let me cum!” Jira begged over and over again. She could smell Marcus's sent, and his smell was driving her even crazier. Marcus nodded, Rose giggled, tentacles penetrated, and Jira was finally allowed the release she had been seeking.
 
“Hello!”
 
Marcus broke form to turn back to where the call had come from. It had been nearly an hour and a half since Marcus got of the com with Lee, and they finally showed. Jira was in line practicing forms as well, having taken a half hour to recover from her 'punishment'. Marcus whistled loudly, waving his hands above his head. “Come on! You're missing all the fun!” Marcus and company had been using the opportunity to do a bit of training. Nothing better than working up a sweat to pass the time. When Lee and his harem, which looked to be all present and accounted for, closed in the first thing he did was rush up to Chisha and give his sister a hug. He then introduced her to the entirety of his harem. “The HeroKapoeraa's Sonja, the Wolf Queen's Anahi,” Marcus pointed from his bronzed skin Alpha to the massive lupine girl, “Danika's the Ulupi, the Tigress is Jira, Rose is the Venuswhore, Erin's the Kangasscunt you met earlier, and Haleigh is the cute little Draco. Everyone, this is my little sister Chisha.”

Chisha waved before pointing back to the blood stained sand, "What'd you do, fend of a few Titacruels?"
 
Marcus shook his head. “Nah. But for some reason we were attacked by a pair of Eelaras. Probably a pair of 'girls that were staking out their own territory.” Marcus figured that the girls had just left their nest, den, lair, or what ever it was that they called it. He was just glad for the fact that they were able to be captured, other wise someone might have ended up dying. “So how're you liking Lee? He treating you okay?”
 
Marcus was worried with his sister smirked. "He's great, I'm meeting old faces and new, and gonna get to go on an adventured like I'd wanted to for a while now. Have you met all of Lee's Harem?" From behind Yue, who was already shyly standing behind and towering over Lilly, there came a muffled curse.
 
Marcus peered around the humanized Wolf Queen and instantly his head dropped. “I should have known.” Marcus rolled his head up. “The day I'm arrested and held for a couple of hours I would have ta run into you.” Marcus didn't really fault the pink haired Joy for what she did. He just wished he was let in on the scam. “How you been doin' Catheryn?” Marcus turned his attention to Lee, a single eyebrow raised. “She with you legally? I done been arrested once today, and I aint inclined to go back to the police station again. They weren't exactly the nicest hosts I've had.”
 
Lee nodded before telling his side of the story. "We bought her freedom, after we got stopped by the police in Cherrybust. We might have been jailed too, if it hadn't been for her paperwork going through."
 
Ann rubbed her husband's back in a show of support before adding her own two cents. "We're learning to trust each other. It's something we have to work on."
 
Marcus simply grinned and gave the Joy a hug. “Best way to gain trust? Drinking with everyone!” Marcus flipped over to his pack and pulled out the rest of the alcohol he had stashed. There were the last three remaining bottles from Cherrybust that he had bought way back when. “Unless you'd rather talk first? 'Cause if you're gonna do that, then I'm gonna talk and train.” Marcus held a bottle up, one in each hand and the third with his tail. “It's your call.”
 
"I never thought that folks couldn't talk and drink at the same time, or are you gonna chug those two fisted... uh, three fisted?" Lee chuckled. Fala started setting up a picnic area, and pulling food out of the poképack that Justine had sat down.
 
“Then 'Talkin' and Drinkin'' it is,” Marcus tossed Lee a bottle of the cherry wine with his tail. “Careful of that shit though. It's what fucked me and the harem over the night Anahi evolved into a Lupina. I woke up in a sea of naked bodies and didn't remember a fuck-in' thing.” Marcus pulled the cork out of the bottle with his teeth and began chugging the first quarter of the bottle. “So, what's on your mind?” Marucs asked. Everyone seemed to be mingling okay from what he saw, though Jira did seem to be quickly rounding up all of the cans of tuna she had pulled out of storage.
 
Lee glanced at Ann before starting. "Well, I don't know how much of this you're going to believe, but for starters, we've been chosen by a group of Megami-Sama to do some big task to save the world. They wanted us to recruit someone on Sadie Pokens, but from their description, we thought it was Chisha... but since you're," He paused, using his hands to make quotation marks, "'A tailed warrior, a child of a Sayjin;' just like she is, there's been some confusion. We asked them and they said basically the more help we get the better off we'd be." Lee paused for a moment, which was all the opportunity Marcus needed.
 
“I'll help ya if I can.” Marcus grinned. All of the sudden he was yanked to the side by Jira, both wine bottles being ripped from his grasp.
 
“I can't believe you're actually going to help them! What happens if your not this 'Tailed Warrior, the Child of a Sayjin'?” Jira mimicked Lee's air quotations.
 
“Jira, take a deep breath and cool your jets. I'm gonna help them.” Marcus placed a hand on the Tigress's shoulder. “If Lee's destined to put a stop to this threat, then I'm gonna end up helping him if I want to or not. 'One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.'” Marcus knew it sounded like a Fortune Cookie, but it was something his dad had said repeatedly. Marcus just liked the sound of it. “Besides. This way if it turns out that these Megami-Samas are wrong then I'll be there to pull my sister out of harms way.”
 
Jira didn't say anything else, there wasn't any need. If Marcus was determined to help Lee to protect his sister, then she was going to do all she could to protect Marcus. “I still don't see why you don't just challenge Lee to a battle. You could save Chisha that way and neither one of you two would have to worry about being caught up in whatever the hell this is.” Jira was confused at the look on Marcus's face. It finally dawned on her that it was the face of Realization sinking in. “You didn't think of that.... did you?”
 
“Not.... at..... all.....” Marcus grinned before patting Jira on the shoulders. “Ohh well. You can challenge them if you want. See if they're up to par.” Marcus reached for the bottles in Jira's hands, only to have her pull them away. “Come on, give 'em back.” Marcus watched in faux horror as the Tigress started chugging the open bottle. The quest to reclaim his booze ended up being a game of 'Tamer in the Middle' as Jira, Sonja, and even Rose took turns laughing and tossing the bottle back and forth. The bottle some how ended up in Catheryn's hands. “Come on, help a tamer out.” Marcus pleaded, his hand out for the bottle.
 
The NurseJoy passed it to Marcus, but pinned him with her eyes. "Sorry."
 
“Don't worry about it to much. I probably would have done the same thing in your shoes. Then again I wouldn't ever want to be in your shoes. Heels can hurt after a while.” Marcus tossed the bottle back to Catheryn, leaving it up to her to finish off the bottle. Looking around Marcus made quite the realization. His Harem seemed to be bouncing off the walls compared to the tranquility of Lee's group, with the exception of the Catfish that went straight for the water.
 
Jira and Sonja had an evil smirk about them as they sat down next to Chisha, trapping their Master's sister between the two of them. “So tell us.” Sonja said as she winked to Jira. “We wanna know everything you do about your brother. If you don't tell us... then we'll just have to force it out of you the hard way.” As if to intimidate the younger Sayjin, Jira cracked her knuckles.
 
Chisha flopped back onto the sand laughing. It was a few moments before the Fighting Type Pokégirl could get control over her mirth. "You two obviously don't know about Sayjins, if you're trying to threaten one. Look up that entry for starters, because good old Mom was a classic." Chisha looked at Jira again, and broke out into a fit of giggles. Justine looked at the two older pokégirls with an air of boredom.
 
While Chisha didn't seem to be taking them seriously, Justine did. "It would seem the two of you would be better off paying attention to your Master than threatening pokégirls. It would be a better use of your time."
 
“Master Marcus can handle himself,” Sonja said as she looked across Chisha to Jira. “Looks like she isn't being cooperative. Guess we'll have to do this the old fashioned way.” The Tigress nodded. As planned Jira grabbed hold of Chisha on the shoulder, her claws slightly pressing into the skin of the Sayjin.
 
Chisha's look changed from mirth to bored amusement, Justine had shot to her feet, Diplomacy and Reason pointed at the throats of the other tamer's pokégirls.
 
"You misunderstand me, but perhaps that isn't so surprising, considering you lack the intelligence to observe your tamer to find out nuances and habits. People often talk about themselves frequently, if you're intelligent enough to listen." Twin tails lashed, Justine taking insult that the two foreign pokégirls would be bold enough to try and gang up on one of her harem sisters.
 
Chisha, however, grinned... and not in a very stable way as she grabbed Jira's clawed hand and pressed the claws deep enough into the skin so that blood welled.
 
Sonja couldn't help but snicker at the site of the dual tailed Catgirl pointing a sword at the necks of her and Jira. “Jira, do it.” Sonja wasn't scared of what the kitty could do. There were very few girls that could touch her with when she was just an AmasonKapoeraa, now that she was evolved the short list just got a whole lot shorter. Sonja leaned forward while Jira started doing as planned. Sonja rolled backwards onto her shoulders. Quickly she brought her legs up and in between the Cat Type's blades. She used the sides of her feet to push the blades outwards.
 
Jira was slightly disturbed when Marcus's little sister caused her claws to sink into her shoulder. Neither Jira nor Sonja had any intentions of harming their Master's sister. “Come here.” Jira pulled Chisha backwards as Sonja rolled back on her shoulders. Her claws retracted themselves from Chisha's skin. Jira began going for the sweet spots, the spots that Sonja had told her were the most ticklish. To have a chance of keeping the Sayjin under control for a second Jira's foot had slipped through her wrapped tail and pinched it between her toes the best she could.
 
A light glow emanated from Justine's pants as she activated her enhancement runes. Then the Catgirl winked out of existence, only to come up at a different angle, sweeping the flat of one of her blades down hard towards the other pokégirl's rump.
 
Chisha was laughing the tail right off, at least, up until Jira managed to slip her foot between the Sayjin's waist and pinch her tail between her toes. The young fighting type froze mid-laugh, and quickly grabbed the offending leg, along with Jira's shoulder, before rolling in a somersault. The younger Fighting Type had the edge in strength, and used it to flip the both of them. Chisha was just happy that the feline's foot was off her tail now, even if she was in a tangle of limbs with the Tigress.
 
Sonja flipped backwards over the blade. “Will you cut it out? Does it honestly look like she's being attacked?” Sonja cartwheeled past the sword happy Catgirl and pounced on the mass of limbs that was Jira and Chisha. “Spill those secrets!” Sonja demanded as she joined the Tigress in the ticklish assault. Sonja's fingers danced wildly across the body of the younger Sayjin at a much brisker pace than the Tigress's. “Put the swords up or we're gonna keep tickling her til she wets herself!” Sonja shouted with a laugh.
 
The laughter caught Marcus's attention. He had been dancing and drinking with Danika and Haleigh. He rushed up behind the twin tailed Cat and grabbed her pants, an empty bottle of the Cherrybust wine in each hand. “Hey, come on and lighten up!” Marcus shouted with a large smile on his face. Marcus was drunker than he should have been, especially when it caused him to try to de-pants an annoyed Nekotama wielding two shiny scimitars. Marcus was in for the ride of his life. The first time he'd ever been teleported, and he was drunk. For a brief second he was airborne, the ocean sprawled out beneath him like a giant blue rolling rug. Unfortunately for him, it was long enough. Marcus's grip on the feline's hip was relinquished as he came crashing down. The drunken tamer preformed one of the best belly flops ever seen by either man and pokégirl eyes.
 
Danika acted as soon as she heard the splash. Marcus had grabbed hold of the twin tailed cat and had tried to pants her, but he had ended up tagging along unknowingly for half of the rid. She was slightly annoyed at the fact that it had happened, but she couldn't blame anyone. “You've got to lay off the liquor Master.” She pulled Marcus ashore, the harem all gathering around to see if their Tamer was fine.
 
Marcus was thoroughly drenched. Taking a sudden and unexpected plunge into the middle of the ocean was one of the quickest ways to sober up. “Damn, talk about a buzz kill.” Marcus quickly stood up and ran to where the bamboo remnants of Danika's Lance technique was. The sudden dip, the lack of being unable to breath on top of the teleportation had caused his stomach to forcefully eject all of the liquor that he had just put down. After he was finished Marcus wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and used the salt water to rinse out his mouth. “It's been swell, but swelling's gone now.” Marcus said as he eyed the double tailed kitty. “Sorry about that. But could possibly find a better place to drop me off next time? Like a bed? A bed's comfy when you land on it.” Marcus walked back over to Lee and shook hands. “I'm gonna head back to the 'Center, grab some aspirin, and take my tail to bed. Make sure you call whenever you need something.”
 
Lee looked surprised, but he nodded. "Ah sure, so you want us to tell those Megami-Samas you'll be helping then?"
 
“Heh. You can tell your Megami-Samas that it'd take nothing short of a Widow attack to get me to stay away. But honestly, if it is a Widow, you need to tie up those Samas and boot 'em in the head. Then you call me and we can get the fuck out of Hazzard A.S.A.P. There's plenty of thing's I'd do before I fuck with a Widow.” Marcus smiled. “I know she can take care of herself, but keep an eye on Chisha for me.”
 
Marcus walked over to his sister and gave her a brief hug. “Your fucking lucky. If it wasn't for me hiding from our folks I'd call up Moms and tell her how ya lost the tourney.”Marcus patted Chisha on the head.
 
The younger Sayjin rolled her eyes as her brother patted her on the head. "You'd have to hear the rant from all our Moms, and Dad, and I'd just hear Mom gripe that I'm still not acting Sayjin enough. Dad would appreciate the whole sense of fair play." The thresholded fighting type grinned at her brother. "Go get some rest, you look like a half drowned Pri-Mate." She laughed.
 
“I might look like a half drowned Pri-Mate, but I'm still better looking than you squirt,” Marcus laughed before leaning down and kissing his sister on the forehead. “Come on girls! Let's pack it up and move it out!” Marcus helped round up the last bit of their belongings and recalled everyone other than Danika before walking side by side with the Ulupi back up the way they had came.
 
“Damn, I just can't seem to stay away from you now, can I?” Marcus smiled as him and Danika had entered the PokéCenter. Magenta, the High Elf attendant, was sitting behind the desk with a pen bouncing in between her lips. She looked up and chuckled to herself.
 
“Really now. I'm starting to believe that you're stalking me.” She pulled the pen out of her mouth. The Sudoku puzzle would just have to wait for a while. “So, what brings you back?”
 
“Some ferals and a hell of a headache caused by booze and an instant teleportaion into the briny blue.” Marcus laughed, then cursed as it caused his head to throb. He placed the two pokéballs containing the Eelaras on the counter, reported Breanna missing, and grabbed a key to the room. He was just getting himself comfortable when there was a knocking at the door. It turned out to be Magenta, and what a god send. She handed him a small cup and left with a wink. “Thanks?” Marcus called down the hallway after her. He downed the amber liquid in the cup, knowing what it was the moment it touched his lips. “Damn, I really am beautiful. Elven beauty just gave me a cup of her own honey.” Marcus felt better as he went to his bed and called it a day.
