    The Tavernmaid came as a surprise to a lot of people. But it was nevertheless a very pleasant surprise. Buttaneers and Piratits have a legendary tolerance for alcohol, and it takes a lot to get them truly falling-down drunk. On the rare occasions this occurs, if they are exposed to an Ice Crystal, they change, becoming a more land oriented Pokégirl and the best friend of anyone who enjoys alcohol in any way, shape or form.
    Also called Bar Maids or Taverngirls, they are a well-liked breed of Pokégirl, although with something of a negative reputation amongst the authorities both for the breed they come from and for the trouble their beverages can cause. Upon evolution, the Buttaneer/Piratit looses any inhuman features they may have had, turning completely humanoid in appearance, with regional differences depending on the original home of the Tavernmaid. Their bodies thicken and soften a little, losing their hard-seeming, almost Tomboyish musculature, gaining sensual curves that add to their physical appeal. And to top all that off, Tavernmaids also gain a great deal in terms of breast size, going to a minimum of D-Cup, which is to be expected considering the abilities they gain.  Their skin takes almost a glittery sheen, although they often are seen with bags under their eyes, giving them the appearance of human women who’ve partied rather excessively throughout their lives.
    The first Tavernmaid was discovered when a sea-faring Tamer settled down to the life of a bartender in the Tropic League’s Salsaroa Island. Formerly a Buttaneer, she settled into the life on shore, occasionally going out at her master’s request to go fishing or simply to experience being on the water. Business was good, the Tamer giving the Buttaneer an Ice Crystal necklace as a gift. One evening after they had closed, they celebrated their good fortune together, settling into drinking as they sometimes did, although the Buttaneer did most of the drinking that evening, the two of them watching a Wreckball game. Their favored team was winning, and she was taking a shot for each point scored, eventually becoming thoroughly drunk on the imported rum. Shortly afterward, the Ice Crystal glowed and disappeared, the Pokégirl evolving from Buttaneer into a Tavernmaid. While E-stone evolutions weren’t unusual in any fashion, the evolution was.
    Business tripled after her evolution occurred. The lucky old sea dog made the report to League officials about the evolution, and eventually retired, starting a family with his Tavernmaid.
    Tavernmaid’s are considered to be dynamic sexpots, albeit ones with a little bit of wear to them, and a set of breasts that most guys would kill to get a hold of. The most peculiar thing is that instead of secreting milk, a Tavernmaid’s breasts fill up continuously with a brand of alcohol she’d learn to mix in her former life. With time and training, a Tavernmaid can mix two separate brands at once. Frequently Tavernmaids are noticed to have ready supplies of whisky, rum, and other brands of alcohol on hand..
    Tavernmaids are also highly popular, in many cases being considered more valuable than their previous form. Their ability to produce alcohol from their breasts and the breed’s natural exuberance and friendliness makes them great entertainers. They are in high demand in cities.
    Tavernmaids have an unusual metabolism. Since alcohol was part of the requirements of their evolution, it has become part of their bodies as well, which is why the breed has the poison elemental typing. A Tavernmaid’s blood has a very high alcohol content, which causes a constant state of inebriation. Even their cum is alcoholic, many Tavernmaids enjoying having others ‘drink from the tap,’ be it their breasts or their womanhood.  Another oddity of the breed, assumed to have been gained from the Ice Crystal, is their ability to chill the alcohol that they make within their breasts. Research has proven than this breed has control over their alcohol production, allowing them to consume the raw ingredients need and produce almost any conceivable alcoholic beverage, up to and including frozen wine coolers.
    Tavernmaids utilize a form of drunken fist, incorporating it into whatever fighting style they had before evolving, making them agile opponents. In addition to this, plus several attacks that cause direct physical damage, Tavernmaids also have attacks designed to get people drunk. They tend to use Booze Mist liberally at the start of a fight, disorienting the opponent and making them vulnerable to attack. They follow this up with Booze Gun, along with Intoxicate, although if their opponent proves resistant to getting drunk, they start using physical attacks to soften them up, also using On The Rocks and Daiquiri Beam to try and freeze their opponents. It is ill advised to pit a fire-type against this breed of Pokégirl, as the unintentional collateral damage to the surrounding area can mount quickly due to the flammable nature of alcohol. (Tavernmaids also frown on the old dare of trying to drink a drink flambé, as they view it as disrespectful to the drink and personally dangerous.)
    Few Tamers have these girls in a harem, although the few that do usually are or are believed to be alcoholics. They get along well with pretty much everybody, although they do attempt to get their harem sisters intoxicated at every opportunity. This combined with their love of celebrations and partying in general makes them ill-suited for either the Alpha or Beta position.  They tend to want to party first and solve problems later… usually after the next part.
    In spite of this Pokégirl’s alcoholic nature, this Pokégirl can have normal human children as a Pokéwoman. Research has shown that this is due to a filtering mechanism of the womb on the Pokégirl’s blood, and unless the Tavernmaid drinks alcohol not made by her body (which is not caught by the womb’s natural filtering mechanism), she will have healthy children and babies.  (Who ironically will have a strong tolerance for alcohol. This was proved after some rather alarmed testing on a Tavernmaid who had recently given birth and her child. The Tavernmaid was producing milk, although it had light alcoholic content in it.  Surprisingly, the child was not affected by it at all, the research showing that the comparatively light amount of alcohol in the breastmilk wasn’t affecting him in the slightest.)
    The feral state of Tavernmaids are even more peculiar than their inherent keg creation capacities. While no Tavernmaid can ever become truly drunk, they are almost constantly in a moderate state of inebriation. This changes once feral. The Pokégirl becomes stone sober, unable to produce her beloved booze. (Making this the only known case where a Pokégirl’s mental capacity IMPROVES upon ferality, although you’d get a great deal of argument and most likely a mug upside the head from any Tavernmaid you asked about it.) She becomes moody, depressed, and often complains about having a hangover. While Tavernmaids can function as feral, they do pose a slight danger to those around them in the form of tantrums, usually involving many thrown objects and flipped pieces of furniture. It is recommended that any Tavernmaid who starts complaining of a headache be Tamed immediately. This is fairly easy to do, as Tavernmaids greatly enjoy almost everything when it comes to Taming.
    Thresholding into a Tavernmaid is nearly unheard of, the handful of recorded cases involving late thresholders and a lot of cold alcoholic beverages in addition to being the child of a Tavernmaid.  As it is illegal for most girls of threshold age to drink, this method is unethical to test and is heavily penalized.
