#9 of Pokemon New Evolutions

Hi there furs and welcome to part one of a two part special crossover I dreamed up. It is ambitious but hopefully made it work as I felt it a good way to tie up loose ends in both Arctales and Dusk's lives.

And if you wish to read up on Dusk's adventures I'll provide the link below ^.^https://www.sofurry.com/view/689566

Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Pokemon, they belong to Nintendo and their respective partners. Arctales and Dusk however are my creations.


The winds blew chill outside of a large cabin that bordered the edge of a village up in the mountains. A shapely morph stood looking outside the window as shi waited for hir mates to return. Sighing impatiently, shi brushed hir dark brown hair that had grown since shi became a Pokemorph. The snow this year was proving to be quite stubborn, having hung around for the past three months and making their leave delayed. The rest of hir friends and mates had gone out shopping for supplies in the next town so Arctales had elected to look after hir cubs, though Ninetales had whispered into hir ear before they left that shi should try and teach them about safe sex.

Arctales didn't think shi would miss the island life too much what with the heat and lax rules about clothing and isolated island life...only now shi found life off the island too confining. Just something about life there had crept its way under hir fur, that and shi missed the other friends shi had made along with hir mother.

Arctales was startled out of hir reverie as a young Eevee morph sharply tugged on one of hir bushy nine tails. "Ow, Eevee cut that out!" Arctales yelped as shi twisted around to face hir daughter before she quickly whipped off giggling, huddling up to her siblings and trying to act innocent.

"Well daddy, I wondered if you could teach us how to use those human things?" she said. "You know, what a guy puts on his penis to stop from getting a female pregnant?"

"Yeah I was wondering about that myself," a young Buizel spoke up, his twin tails twirling as he held something rubbery in his paws and clumsily tried to put it around his cock, only for it to tear again at the end. "Stupid thing," he grumbled and folded his hands as a six tailed morph also struggled, only she was like hir father being born a hermaphrodite and was again, quite feminine looking. Hir body was the pinkish-red of a Vulpix with the tails less curly and longer and overlaid that was that of a Growlithe, making hir stockier like hir mum and adding a little extra fluff and black markings.

"Yeah, I being trying myself but every time it feels a little odd," Growlix said as shi indicated the discarded condoms next to hir.

Gently putting hir hand to hir head Arctales gave a small groan. Since finding out they liked to...experiment with each other shi had reluctantly agreed to let them continue with the promise to show them how to do it safely. To Arctales human mind it was wrong but shi agreed that at least it would help them with puberty and (hopefully) keep them calm and manageable when they came into heat. "Here, let me show you," Arctales sighed as, with a blush, shi grabbed one of Lucario's toys she used to pleasure Espeon and herself with.

Hir cubs gathered around hir, the eagerness in their eyes made hir blush as shi brought a condom from out of a pack. "First you need to get just a little of the end over it like this," Arctales said, wrapping it loosely around the tip of the phallus. "Next you need to pinch the end to form an air bubble at the end. This helps it to not tear at the end, and finally you gently feed it over like this," shi finished, presenting them with a covered toy.

"Ooh, that's where we've been going wrong!" Buizel yipped as he went over to an excited Eevee to help practice with. As Arctales saw hir daughter help Buizel get erect, lapping and squeezing around his sheath shi turned away in a blush, feeling dirty that shi was also growing aroused.

"Dad...?" Arctales heard Growlix say in a timid, small voice as shi shyly tugged on hir busy tail. "I know you are not comfortable but...to me it makes sense that a parent helps their cubs with these things and um, well since I am a herm the same as you I wondered...would you help me?"

Arctales turned hir head round, ready to say no when shi saw hir shy, downcast expression. It was clear even to hir that in letting human values rule hir that shi was only going to succeed in pushing hir cub away. With a resigned sigh shi dropped to the floor and pulled another condom out, "Sure, that's what a good dad is for yeah?" shi said gently with a soft smile on hir muzzle and a forced, reassuring smile.

Growlix was brought to nearly eye level with hir dad's ample, perfectly round and bare D cup bust, only lightly furred with the nipple dark and hard poking from the fur. That and hearing this gentle, almost motherly like side was enough to make hir own three inches emerge from its furred housing. "Thank you mother-I mean father. Uhm, can't you be both?" Growlix said, trying not to moan as Arctales showed what to do with the condom.

Pausing in hir demonstration shi looked at hir cub. "Well, I am your father because it was my seed that birthed you from my mate Ninetales. If it was another way round then I would be your mother but honestly...I don't think I will ever relate fully to my female side. As much as I enjoy it I can't see myself becoming pregnant."

"That's a shame as I think you would be a great mother Vee!" Eevee yipped from the side as Buizel worked on taking his condom off.

Arctales bit hir muzzle lips at the comment and couldn't think of a comeback, instead focussing on working the rest of the condom over hir cub's red shaft, blushing slightly in the face and making hir fur stand out.

"There," shi proclaimed as Arctales finished making it snug and tight around hir small knot, "and that's how you have safe sex which is important, especially when you are related. All sorts of diseases can form in a cub from the same family," Arctales explained. A strange tingling ran up hir spine just then though followed by hir fur seemed to stand on end shortly followed by Growlix who pointed out the porthole style window.

"Dad I saw something flash in the distance! Also...I felt a little weird during it," shi said. Arctales knew exactly how shi felt, being part Ninetales gifted them with the ability to sense the magical and paranormal...so the lore went.

Arctales knew shi shouldn't leave hir cubs alone in the cabin but...something told hir shi was needed where the flash happened. "Cubs I want you all on best behavior okay? Growlix since you are the oldest you are in charge, I promise I won't be long," shi said, walking towards the door before pausing with hir hand on the nob as shi felt three hands pulling at hir tails.

Lookin round shi saw hir cubs holding onto hir with concern in their eyes before shi bent down and hugged them, "I'll be careful, I promise," shi said before they all nodded and let go as shi exited, briefly letting the chill wind of outside into the cabin before shi slammed it shut.

"Be careful dad..." Growlix whispered, the strange feeling making hir feel unsettled.

*

The wind had died down somewhat as Arctales set off out into the wilderness, although shi had remembered to wrap up with some of the clothing they had and for that shi was thankful since shi was just warm enough. "That flash came from near those mountains, it could have just been a Pokemon fight but...no attack has made me feel like that, especially over such a distance," Arctales thought to hirself as she trudged through. Only hir footpaws were uncovered but curiously shi didn't feel the cold that much through them as shi left pawprints in the snow.

Reaching the foot of the mountain after a 20 minute walk, shi was busy dwelling on whether to just go back when shi saw a black figure laid sprawled in the snow. "Oh no, hey hold on!" shi cried out before dashing towards the prone morph.

Reaching where it lay, shi thought first of all it was a Zoroark what with the nearly all black fur. But when shi got in for a closer look shi saw that it was actually the largest tail shi had ever seen and ended in a blood red fluffy tip instead of a tail-style ponytail and its body was out of proportion in comparison. More curious than before shi gently grabbed a slender shoulder and arm, noticing at how toned it was with the muscle underneath and turned her over.

Gasping as shi finally got a good look at this strange being shi saw her indeed to be some kind of fox. She had a beautiful face that rivaled hir mate Ninetales, a mix of red and jet black hair from her scalp and a very gifted chest that nearly rivaled hir co mate Arcanine's with red fur covering her breasts, leaving just the nipples poking out large, firm and proud. What was all the more shocking was seeing the red patch of fur around her privates, highlighting her slit and...a quite sizable looking red sheath.

"By the legendary Pokemon...you're a herm too?" Arctales gasped out, though shi looked to have being beaten up a good bit. Shi probably ran into a wild Pokemon and even hir thick fur felt cold though shi was breathing, although only shallow. Looking around there were signs of a fight and scraps of a dark blue outfit that had obviously been blown from hir body. "I can't leave you out here like this," shi said before picking hir up with a grunt before setting back off to the cabin, only hoping hir mate and co-mates hadn't returned yet and hir cubs had behaved.

*

Arctales was surprised at the ease shi managed to make it back to the cabin with what practically was double hir weight (and then some with that enormous tail and the strangers endowments.) Shi had wrapped the strange vixen up in hir own tail to keep hir warm until shi managed to get hir indoors. Rapping on the door with a foot paw since shi had no hands free, shi had hir muzzle open to greet hir cubs as the door swung open, only to freeze when shi saw hir mate stood at the entrance with a scowl. "Arctales we told you to look after them, you're not being a responsible father clearing off to get a black throw," Ninetales said as she saw the black bundle in hir arms. "Whilst you were gone our cubs decided to get more 'experience' in and now Arcanine is trying to get them to separate."

Looking past Ninetales F cup chest, Arctales couldn't help a huge blush under hir fur as shi saw Buizel with his cock buried deep inside Growlix, the herm sat on top of him with hir own cock buried deep inside the smaller Eevee with the three moaning each time Arcanine tried to pull them apart. The even bustier morph would try to pull a moaning and giggling Eevee off of Growlix's knot, only for hir to yelp before she sighed and let them fall back onto Buizel who would moan with being pushed deep inside hir folds again.

"You know it's a good job they are not mature enough yet to bear cubs," Arcanine growled at Arctales, "seems they tried with the condoms before deciding they didn't like them and had unprotected sex with each other.

"W-we're sorry dad, we, nnf, wanted to use them but they just felt odd to us," Buizel moaned as he felt Growlix milk him.

Arctales looked at hir other two cubs, Growlix was too lost in hir double pleasure and Eevee just seemed to enjoy all the attention as she giggled and licked at the cubs small nipple. "You three..." Arctales groaned before bending down to place the bundle on the floor.

"What is that you have there, a fleece?" Arcanine said before she tried again, finally managing to pull a squirming, moaning Eevee off of Growlix's surprisingly large knot, the large female morph bending down and whispering menacingly, "and don't expect me to be as soft as your dad," she said as Eevee whimpered, the others messily untangling themselves and backed off into a corner under her glare, seed and cum trickling from their privates as they stood.

"Oh well this is...a vixen of some sort," Arctales said awkwardly as shi unwrapped the black beauty's tail from hir to reveal the stunning form, the huge, round F-cup breasts with the blood red fur and darker red nipples along with hir well toned body, red covered sheath and pussy.

"What the! So you went and brought in another herm friend; what was you lonely and wanting familiar company?" Arcanine said as Ninetales gasped, her cream cheeks flushing as she saw the size of the sheath and a pair of breasts that rivalled her own.

"What? No, hell no!" Arctales fur bristled in anger as shi glared at Arcanine through hir red eyes, seeing the morph smirk. She could be such a tease at times.

"But what is shi?" Ninetales said softly as she leaned in to look hir over, "shi isn't any Pokemon or morph I have ever seen. Shi could be similar to a Zoroark but there is too much off about how shi looks," she said softly; "where did you find hir Arctales?"

By now the cubs had gotten over their bit of sulking and grown interested at what was capturing the adults interest as they crept through the gaps to look. "I found hir at the base of that cliff there," Arctales said, pointing to where shi had seen the flash in the distance.

"That would be Legend Mountain...it is said to be like a tomb for a powerful, extinct pokemon from ancient times," Ninetales said in thought, "I wonder if there is any significance to you finding hir there?"

"There could be," Arctales nodded as shi folded hir arms under her breasts against the jacket shi wore, "there was a flash and I felt a strange tingling before I saw that. But..."

"Mum, dad!" Growlix cried out, cutting through Arctales thoughts. In the minute they had taken their eyes off of their guest, the vixen had woken up and got Arcanine between hir powerful looking thighs as the muscular morph gave off a strangled choke.

"Demons!" The figure spat, hir teeth bared and triangular ears pulled far back, hir speech sounding similar to the human dialect used in their world.

Shi thought they were demons? Well that only confirmed it, this was a creature from another world but that didn't help their perilous situation. "Look, I promise you we are not going to hurt you, please let go of my friend and we can talk about-Growlix don't!" Arctales cried out as hir cub went streaking by. Ninetales tried to grab hir but just missed the nimble cub.

"You leave aunt Arcanine ALONE!" Shi cried out, leaping and biting into the vixens leg with hir sharp teeth, drawing blood which brought a cry of pain from the dark creature.

This was all the opening Arcanine needed; with a breathless grunt, her large muscles bulged as she lifted herself and the vixen off the floor, Growlix scampering clear before the enraged morph smashed hir into the cabin wall.

Gasping for air, Arcanine fixed the figure with an enraged look, her tail stiff and fangs bared before using true speed to dash at hir. "Arcanine wait!" Ninetales cried out but she was too late as her mate combined Fire punch with her speed to smash the figure clean through the wall outside.

The dark vixen rolled through the snow before scooping a pawful of snow up and pressed the cold fluff to her ribs as shi winced in pain, glaring through hir intense blue eyes at them all. "Heh shi is tough I'll give hir that," Arcanine said, making to climb through the hole she had made before Ninetales yanked her back.

"I think you have done enough damage, I love you but I swear you are such a meathead at times," the cream vixen scolded her mate.

"Wait!" Arctales cried out as the black beauty suddenly sped off across the snow, hir speed impressive for the injuries shi sustained and the thick snow that shi seemed to just glide across.

"Let it go, that thing had trouble written all over hir," Arcanine growled with a look back over her shoulder before straightening the vest she wore for modesty when out.

"We can't just let hir go shi...shi is frightened I think," Arctales said quietly before in a louder voice said, "also what about the damaged"

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!!" A voice howled out from close by the broken wall.

"Oh shit...um well I'll just go out and get something in to repair the damage so be back sooph!" Arcanine yelped as she was flattened suddenly by an aura sphere before being dragged up by her mane to face a snarling Lucario in full blown rage mode.

"Arcanine love...maybe you could tell me what a hole is doing in my wall and what the HELL was that vixen shooting by?"

Both Arctales and Ninetales were stunned, both by Lucario's display of anger and neither had seen Arcanine stunned by fear.

"We know it was Arcanine, we saw the explosion and her standing by the hole she made as this black figure was sent hurtling through before it shot right by us," Espeon said as she stood loaded up with bags before dropping them carefully to the floor, her usual kind face wearing a scowl.

"Lucario wait, it isn't all Arcanine's fault," Arctales said from behind the snarling morph, "it was also mine. I brought a stranger inside and she...well shi, was quite hostile."

"Shi?!" Lucario said, dropping Arcanine as she went to turn to Arctales. Arcanine was trying to get past Espeon who had dashed round to help Ninetales keep the enraged muscular morph away from making things worse. "Okay, explain Arctales," Lucario said cooly, folding her arms under her spike and chest as she gave hir her attention.

"Well I found hir by Legend Mountain...I thought hir a morph like us but no. Shi smelled foreign and not just of another land...like something otherworldly. Shi woke up and called us demons and well, caught Arcanine by surprise in a leglock around her head. Angered she smashed hir through and probably ran back to where I found hir in the hopes of returning to where ever shi is from."

"Apology accepted," Arcanine growled to the blue morph before Lucario shot her a venomous glare.

"You still made the hole and you are not getting off this, you are going to patch it up before more snow arrives," she said in a low tone, her short tail going taut and slack as she reigned in her temper.

"Don't worry I'll help you," Ninetales said before seeing Lucario shoot her a warning look. "Look Lucario I know you're mad but she won't get it done before nightfall so we may as well pitch in."

"Me too," Espeon said, "even though I do agree she needs to be punished, that will have to come later," the purple cat morph said softly, the threat sounding more menacing with her gentle voice.

Grumbling, Arcanine stalked out the back door to visit the small tool shed next to the cabin for the materials they would need for repairs, knowing this would haunt her for a while.

"You're not going to help Arctales?" Lucario asked, twisting her head round to fix Arctales with a stare, red eyes staring into red eyes before Arctales turned away and looked out of the hole.

"I think you don't need Aura sight to know what I intend to do Lucario," Arctales said before stepping out, "I'm going to find that vixen. Shi is lost and scared and could get killed or worse, kill others if shi believes shi is in a demon world."

With a reluctant sigh Lucario stepped behind hir and clapped a paw on hir shoulder, "Okay...I will help you; my aura sight will be able to pick hir trail up if we lose it," Lucario said.

"I will come too," Arcanine said as she came back loaded up with tools and dropped them in a messy pile. As Lucario started growling at her she growled back, "I have a score to settle with that bitch okay and I don't care what you say, I'm coming with you two."

"We need you to fix the mess you made Arcanine!" Lucario said, getting right in her face as the two canine Pokemorphs glared at each other before Buizel chimed in.

"Don't worry, we're not just dippy cubs now. We can help out where we can, besides that vixen...was kinda scary. I think it a good idea for you three to go," he said with the other cubs nodding in agreement, picking various tools up to show they were in with that idea too.

"...Fine, but you are not getting off easy with this Arcanine," Lucario said before setting out with Arctales in the lead.

"That's fine with me," she huffed with her arms folded, "long as I get a crack at that bitch I'll accept any punishment."

"I wonder if Arcanine knows what she is saying...Lucario can be quite evil when she wants," Espeon said before sniffing the air, "why does it smell of sex?"

"Um, about that," Ninetales said sheepishly as the cubs gave a cheeky giggle.

*

"Shi definitely is no Pokemon, or none I ever read of that's for sure," Lucario shouted over the rush of wind as her fur barely contained her C-cup chest, her eyes glowing blue as she tracked the signature of the vixen. "It is all wrong, the colours are all muted like a humans but with something mixed in with it...something dark like a leftover signature."

"Oh? You mean like an artist who didn't watch where they left their brush?" Arctales said as shi just managed to keep pace with the fleet footed morph.

"Who gives a crap? I just want to smash my fist into that pretty face of hir's for that cheap shot," Arcanine growled as her huge FF cups bounced and seemed to threaten to overspill from the thin confines of her vest. Looking to hir side, Arcrales wondered how she managed it with her assets pulling at her. "It is all about power and training," Arcanine barked out as she caught hir staring out the corner of her eye, grinning as the hybrid herm's face fur bristled in a blush.

As they reached Spirit Mountain though Lucario cried out for them to stop. "What is it Lucario?" Arctales asked, breathing in gulps of air as shi recovered from the dash, scanning around and fully alert now.

"Hir energy trail just...vanished," Lucario said as her dreads flared out, focussing more before with a sigh, came out of aura sight and shook her head. "Whoever shi is...Whatever shi is, shi knew we were tracking hir or as a precaution shi masked hir trail with some technique of hir own."

"Tch, tricky bitch isn't shi?" Arcanine grumbled. "We had better split up and look from here."

"No, that is a bad idea!" Lucario said as Arcanine started marching closer towards the mountain.

"Listen Lucario, I can take care of my-" before she could finish she gave a cry of alarm out, vanishing into a snow covered pit.

"Arcanine!" Arctales cried out before a shadow launched itself from up high on the mountain at them both.

"Arctales get back!" Lucario cried out before throwing hir out the line of the vixen's trajectory, blocking hir kick just in time with her paws crossed in front before throwing hir off, lashing out with a kick to drive hir back.

"Why did you demons bring me here? Send me back to my world this instant!" shi shouted at her as Arctales ran towards where the now visible pit in the snow held Arcanine.

Looking down at her shi could practically see the morph glowing with rage as she tried to climb back out only to slip back down and jumping just shy of making the top. "Arcanine hold on...I have an idea how to get you out," Arctales said, hesitating on hir choice. Shi knew this would hurt. Bad.

Hanging hir rear over the edge shi dug hir paws into the snow as much as possible before lowering hir long, bushy tails over into the pit. "Okay...jump and use them to get ooOOOOOOOOOUT!" shi cried as she didn't wait for hir to finish, the large morph nearly pulling hir in as she landed in a spray of snow in front of hir.

"Sorry love..."Arcanine growled, her teeth bared as poor Arctales whimpered and cradled two of hir tails that were now kinked. "But that is the LAST time that bitch sneaks one up on me! Now, where the hell is shi?!"

As if in answer, the blue form of Lucario landed in front of them, kicking up a spray of snow. "Lucario, are you okay?" Arctales asked as shi helped her up, the morph looking a bit winded as she staggered upright.

"Yes...but shi is strong, even without abilities. Plus I can't read her signatures so predicting hir moves is hard and shi is well trained in fighting," she gasped as her legs gave out, Arcanine catching her in her strong paws.

"Easy there love," she said softly, "time for you to tag out. We'll handle this from here," she said before raking the figure before them with a scything look. "You bitch; I don't know what your game is but first you humiliate me, and then you threaten two I love and now hurt one. You are SO going down!"

Obviously the stranger didn't know Poke-speech but the look Arcanine gave the vixen spoke enough as shi launched straight at the pair with a speed and determination that took them both by surprise.

Arcanine aimed a punch towards the black vixen only for hir to twist and duck, striking out with a roundhouse kick that the muscular morph blocked. Arctales tried to exploit the opening with a mega punch only for hir to catch hir arm under hir own and trip Arctales off balance. "Send me back, right now!" Shi hissed through clenched teeth, yelping in surprise as suddenly Arcanine grabbed hold of hir by the tail and swung hir over her head.

"Fuck shi is tough, you okay Arctales?" Arcanine growled out as she offered hir a paw.

Arctales was about to answer before shi saw the vixen flip to land and reached into a pouch that nearly blended in with hir fur. When shi drew a sharp bladed object out Arctales pushed Arcanine clear out of the path before launching a Fire Blast to counter the object.

The blade had just left hir dark paw when the move struck, causing an explosion that threw the black vixen back before rolling on the snow covered floor. There was an ominous creak, Arctales made to move to retrieve the vixen before the ground gave way, the dark furred morph vanishing from sight. "No!" Arctales cried out before dashing into the hole, hir fluffy tails vanishing through.

"ARCTALES!!" Arcanine cried out as she scrambled to her feet and looked over into the cavern that had opened up. "Shit...damn you Arctales, how am I going to explain this to Ninetales?" she grumbled, making a fist and punching the ground next to the hole.

"What-what happened," Lucario panted, the explosion having woke her up as she looked at the wreckage.

"That black furred bitch seemed to have something explosive that reacted with Arctales Fire Blast. Then the stupid idiot went in to rescue the one trying to kill us!" Came Arcanine's exasperated reply.

"That Arctales...one day that kind heart of hir's will get hir killed," Lucario groaned with a paw to her face, shaking her head to clear her mind. "Arcanine you go back to the others and we'll try and mount a rescue, I will follow hir with my aura sight so we don't lose track of them."

"What? W-wait maybe you should go because...because um..." Arcanine trailed off before realising she would have nothing to offer to keep track before slumping her shoulders in defeat.

"Sorry Arcanine," Lucario said with a small smile, "guess you could call this your debt paid with this."

"With interest," Aracanine groaned, "don't be surprised if I am back minus my tail because my mate will have torn it off."

*

As Arctales fell shi could see there was a steep drop to the bottom of the cavern they had unwittingly discovered that would surely kill them. Acting on desperation shi angled hirself, grabbed the vixen and held hir close before wrapping hir nine bushy tails around hirself and the stranger. Holding hir tight shi braced for impact before shi found it never came.

Opening hir red eyes shi looked around only to see, against hir will, that hir tails had fanned themselves back out again and were glowing as they hovered an inch from the ground. "Did I...use one of the locked powers of the Ninetales?" shi whispered to hirself before the glow faded and shi touched down softly.

There was certainly something under here, Arctales could feel it. Something down here made hir mind buzz and hir tails seemed to want to wave in the direction towards the mountain.

Gently setting the vixen down on the ground, Arctales looked above, unable to spot any good footholds. "Well, I don't think we are going back the way we came," shi sighed before freezing as shi suddenly felt something sharp prick at hir neck.

"Okay demon, I'll give you one last chance to send me back before I slit that pretty neck of yours," a voice hissed in Arctales ear.

"Look at our situation, if I was a demon don't you think I would have just left you to die? Would a demon save you from your death. Just look at the situation damn it!"

The black vixen looked up at the hole they had fallen through, hir bushy red tip twitching before sighing hirself and withdrew the kunai from Arctales neck. "I'm...sorry. Just you look so much like the Ninetails demon of myth from my world and what with you breathing fire...well I thought this was the demon world I had being transported to ever since getting attacked by this creature made of metal. My name is Dusk and I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused," shi said the last part in a soft, angry whisper. Angry with hirself that shi let fear and poor judgement rule hir.

"Sounds like you were attacked by a Steelix, they are really tough and don't go down easily. I guess that is why I found you naked in the snow to start with," Arctales said, before turning round to face the vixen. "My name is Arctales, nice to meet you Dusk," shi said, turning round to face hir only for the vixen to gasp.

"Y-you're a herm too?" shi said in surprise, looking down at Arctales clothes that had become tattered in their battle, the explosion having burned holes in the garment that enabled hir to see hir sheath and slit.

Deciding shi may as well go in just hir fur than wear rags shi stripped off and nodded to Dusk. "Yes, but not by choice. I became a herm when my friend Arcanine and mate Ninetales came in touch with this gem. The energies got transfered to me during an...intimate moment and I was changed as you see now from a regular guy to a nearly all female herm," shi laughed as shi tried to lighten the mood.

"Wow...we are like polar opposites," Dusk said as she sat down on a rocky outcropping. "I was a regular vixen in my world until I...was told to steal a certain artifact from a wealthy man's mansion. It changed me, possessed me, turned me into something gruesome and had me wipe out an entire village. But my newfound lover, Sheliah, managed to banish the demon from me and helped me come to terms with everything."

A short span of silence hung between them before Arctales walked up to the vixen and wrapped hir arms round hir, "And there I thought I had it rough. I can see why now you was fearful of us."

Hir blue eyes widened into the hug before seeing Arctales nine lovely tails waving behind hir and smiled, returning the hug, "It is no excuse for how I behaved though. I am truly sorry and will try to make amends; if we find a way out of this cavern," shi whispered. Shi found it hard to believe this beautiful creature used to be a human and male at that. All shi had to deal with was an added male appendage but Arctales needed to learn a whole new way of living by the sounds of it.

Breaking away, Arctales looked down into the gloom of the rocky tunnel, "Well we won't get out this way, we may as well start walking to see if we can't find another way out," shi said before walking away from the light of the opening.

"Well, normally I'd use my ninja ability to teleport us out but I need a clear reference point for that and I can't see anything of the top."

"Wait...you're a ninja," Arctales gaped at hir in disbelief before only just able to see the pouch shi wore in the gloom.

Dusk nodded, feeling uncomfortable the look of wonder Arctales gave hir before shifitng the subject away from hir. "So how are we going to watch our footing? It looks completely dark if we go in either direction."

"Like this," shi said before letting loose a small flamethrower, lighting the gloom up.

Dusk paused at the display, the word demon screamed inside hir head. Shi had nine tails, could breathe fire and had red eyes in a world filled with odd creatures. Arctales saw hir hesitation, "I know this is strange to you, but trust me; I may know how to fight but it is something I try to avoid. And as for how I saved us I have no idea how I did that; but you can trust me okay?" Arctales smiled and held hir paw out for Dusk to take hold of.

"...Okay I trust you," shi sighed softly, taking hir hand in hir own, "just try not to light me up like a bonfire. I don't know how your chemistry works but I know direct fire contact will have me a walking bonfire."

Arctales giggled at Dusk's attempt at humor as they wandered into the gloom, the morph letting the odd gout of fire to light their path.

*

"Arcanine I will personally CHEW your tail off and mount it if anything happens to Arctales!" Ninetales growled out as a desperate Espeon tried to restrain her in her angered state.

"Look what am I hir keeper? Shi was the one who threw hirself in front of me and then dived in after the one who was Trying to KILL US!"

Espeon sighed and gave up trying to keep the two females from getting to each other and quickly stepped to one side as they went nose to nose, their large breasts mashing together as they tried to stare each other down. "Look...fighting among yourselves isn't going to fix anything," the psychic morph said as they both turned to stare at her.

Wincing at their anger, Espeon felt herself losing hope to keep their tempers under control before she received backup from an unexpected source. "Mum, I think you underestimate dad a lot," Growlix said as shi walked up to her side, a hammer held in one paw, the other cubs halting in their hammering to spring to their siblings defence.

"Yeah Ninetales, I know you have a history but I think you should think more of our dad than you do, shi knows what shi is doing," Buizel said from Growlix's side, the little Eevee giving a answering bark in support.

Ninetales looked from them all and then to Arcanine before the smouldering look faded in her eyes, replaced by an apologetic look. "I'm sorry...I still think of hir as the master I need to protect at times and well...what with all shi went through on the island I feel misfortune targets hir."

With a heavy sigh, Arcanine wrapped her arms round her lover, holding her tight in her strong, furry arms. "Love, I hear you but you need to have faith. I do," she said, running her fingers through her creamy furred mane.

"And I feel shi sees something in that vixen shi pursued, I don't think Arctales is one to abandon people shi thinks shi can help," Espeon said as she hugged Ninetales from the other side.

"Hey it's a cuddle pile!" Eevee squeaked out before throwing herself at the trio, the other two joining with giggles as they all collapsed in a pile of bodies and tails.

Unable to help herself Ninetales found herself laughing with the rest, smiling as her cub popped from under a tail, looking like shi was wearing a cream wig. "You're right shi will be okay, thank you my loves," she smiled before hugging as much of them as she could before getting up off the floor. "Now then, whilst you are here Arcanine, we could do with some of that brute strength of yours for repairs."

As they walked the cavernous lay out Arctales kept gently coaxing for the vixen to talk about hirself. It was obvious the black and red vixen wasn't too trusting but the more Arctales told hir of hirself and hir own struggles and journey, the more Dusk felt a kinship with the nine tailed vixen. "Fuck me...you was changed, had to learn a new life, kidnapped, raped, started a family and found love...AND your kind live for a thousand years?" Dusk said. Shi sounded so much like the Ninetails of hir own myth yet was so obviously wasn't.

"Well...yeah, things were crazy and well...some I rather wouldn't remember," Arctales trailed off, hir head dipping before lifting it up again, "but I wouldn't be who I am now without those experiences. My friends and family was there for me no matter what and I couldn't be happier," shi said before stopping as they came to a wide, open area. "We must be right under Legend Mountain now," shi said before pausing to flop down on the floor.

"Hey are you okay?" Dusk said in alarm, bending over to place hir hand on hir forehead, "you're starting to feel a little feverish."

"Yeah I'm fine just...tired from using my fire ability too much," Arctales panted as hir fur moistened. Unusually in this area of the cave there seemed to be a faint pink light pulsating around them, giving them some light to see by.

"I can feel a strange sort of energy pulsing around here...it makes me feel uncomfortable," Dusk muttered as shi let the kitsune get hir breath back. Looking around the dark vixen noticed that the wide cavern-like space was dotted around with faintly glowing pink crystals. "These crystals are not normal...what is all this?"

"Well...if I was to guess...I'd say this place is filled with the dregs of what used to be the ancient legendary Pokemon's power. This place fills me with something...a sense of foreboding and also sadness."

"Well soon as you are ready to go we'll try to figure out what to do next," Dusk said as shi sat down beside hir, now quite conscious they were both sitting on the floor in just their fur. Folding hir arms to try and preserve some modesty, shi flipped hir tail into hir lap to hide hir red sheath and slit, noticing Arctales had no problem being in just hir fur. "Don't you have any modesty?" Dusk said to hir, a little irritated by hir openness; shi really was an attractive herm with those nine cream tails, that tiger-like fur with the orange and black stripes and creamy chest, that sleek muzzle of hirs and the mane of brown hair that fell to one side, somehow complimenting hir looks and.

"Um, you okay?" Arctales said, leaning in close as shi saw Dusk staring at hir intensely.

Shaking hir head, hir curtain of red and black hair whipped around, "Yes, yes I'm fine!" Shi said in a slightly more panicked tone than shi meant. Was shi falling for hir in such a short time? No that would be too much like cheating on hir mate Dusk reminded hirself.

Seeing Dusk look off to the side with an uncomfortable look on hir face Arctales smiled and curled one tail around hir breasts before using another likewise to Dusk and covered hir privates up. "Sorry if I made it awkward; it's something I don't really think much of now as the morphs on the island live as their feral cousins do and are proud of their bodies. If it is any comfort you are a very beautiful vixen yourself," Arctales said before blushing at how suggestive that actually sounded.

They lapsed into brief silence before Dusk let out an audible sigh, "I guess I've heard most of your story. Guess it is only fair I tell you mine though I will leave out some parts. Some areas are too complicated to quickly explain. I used to be a normal enough vixen though I lived a somewhat honorless life as a thief who got what she wanted through sex. It was on one such robbery I was contracted to steal an odd item from a millionaire human. I didn't know that would change my life forever that night.

On that night I became possessed by a demon known as Diablo...but thankfully I happened across a shaman wolf by the name of Sheliah. I was no longer my ginger colouration or all female, but my new love helped me come to terms with my new body, what had happened whilst I had being possessed and was married in a spirit ceremony. Until then I never even considered another female as a possible love interest but something about Sheliah felt...right."

"Spirit ceremony?" Arctales interrupted Dusk's telling. "What is that about?"

"It is where we give our vows, and unlike a normal wedding it strengthens our love and feelings for each other as we are bound on a spiritual level..." Dusk trailed off before putting hir paw on hir own chest with a look of pain.

"...It must be hard being seperated like that," Arctales whispered before putting hir own paw on the vixen's dark furred shoulder, "we'll do everything we can to bring you back Dusk, that I swear!" Arctales said in a determined filled voice.

Dusk looked into those red eyes of Arctales and found hirself mesmerised by hir, shi could see what made hir so endearing to the rest of hir family and friends. "Thank you," shi said in a soft tone. "I do miss my mate and our cub and can't help but feel as though I am missing the best part of myself, separated like this from them. Even Wolf Spirit though he has had somewhat of a chip on his shoulder since I turned him down."

"Turned him down? Wolf Spirit?" Arctales said, sitting back to look at Dusk, clearly at a loss.

"Oh um, he was Sheliah's guardian and by extension mine. The spirits can...become pregnant and impregnate us if we so choose and he seemed hurt I wouldn't cos it didn't feel right."

"Spirits, demons and ninjas. And you call our world crazy," Arctales said in an awestruck tone, shaking hir head gently.

"Heh well I suppose when you put it like that yeah, it will to an outsider, um outworlder?" Dusk said before they both giggled softly.

"It's odd Arctales; I usually don't warm that well to new people but I feel a kinship with you," shi said before hir nose started twitching, "um Arctales, are you okay? You're looking a bit bothered," Dusk said as Arctales started squirming.

"I um...I don't know. I-I feel like I am coming into heat but it is t-two months early at least," Arctales panted out before looking around at the pulsing crystals. Were they glowing brighter?

"I think whatever power is in these is affecting you and, unh, b-by extension me," Dusk groaned as hir own pussy throbbed, hir cock stirring in its sheath as Arctale's responded in kind as hir cock stirred inside the black furred sheath.

But before things could go any further there was a sudden rumbling as something large and metal erupted from the ground. "Oh no..." Arctales groaned as a ghoulish form hung over them. Its body gleamed in the faint light of the crystals, the boulder like face, red eyes, wide, menacing mouth and knobbly body only making it seem all the more terrifying. "It just had to be a freaking Steelix...they are one of the toughest to take down no matter what element you hit them with."

"That's the fucker that attacked me when I first came to your world! It almost killed me!" Dusk growled as shi brought a twin pair of kunai out from hir pouch, the building lust inside hir making hir more aggressive than usual.

"Wait we need to think about this, I think the energy in the crystals are driving it wild," Arctales said as it held them with a savagery shi had not seen from a Pokemon before.

"Then there is no reasoning with it!" Dusk growled before leaping in to slash at its body, hir kuna blades just pinging off the hard surface. "Ugh how can something like this be alive?" shi snapped before dodging a tail swipe by it as it roared in retaliation.

"Trust me that isn't the oddest thing we have here," Arctales grunted as shi leaped into the air and spat a fireblast out to strike it head on.

"Nice one Arctales, that...did shit," shi said, trailing off as the Pokemon reared its head from the explosion and roared, glowing pink from the heat briefly before diving to crush them between it's huge jaws.

"I don't know if my ninja magic works here but now is the time to see, I know my limited shaman skills don't," Dusk said as shi placed hir paw on the floor before a horned, chibi fox poofed into existence.

"Hey do you know how far I had to travel to get here toots? Where the hell do you get up-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" The little fox screamed out as he leaped at the same time as Dusk to avoid those grizzly teeth.

"A monster of this world! Transform now!" Dusk shouted out as the fox became a double of hir. "Circle around to its other side...now! Fu! Soh! Ka! Rin!" Dusk said, performing hand signs that came and went too fast for Arctales to fully comprehend before an explosion happened between them, their bodies acting as though they formed an invisible barrier as the wild Pokemon screeched in pain.

"Wow Dusk...that was amazing, how, ooph!" Arctales cried as Dusk grabbed hold of one hand and the copy grabbed hir other. "Wait, where are we going?" Arctales cried as shi was dragged towards the tunnel they had come out of.

"To try and get away from that thing, if there is less space it will be harder for it to move around even if it can crush rocks," Dusk growled before they had to jump back as a fountain of rock erupted below their feet as the Steelix buried under, blocking the entrance in a shower of rocks.

"Well...now what? And who's your friend, got her number?" the clone of Dusk said as it looked Arctales up and down before they had to split apart to avoid it's crushing teeth again.

Arctales picked hirself up only to see the pair working to try and gain some sort of advantage on the large Pokemon but blades wouldn't work and hir fire wasn't strong enough to take advantage of its weakness. "Damn it...if only I was stronger!" shi cried out, clenching hir fists tightly. If only shi could use these crystals to fuel hir power like they was enraging the Pokemon. And shi knew fire was its weakness but it seemed like a very strong, long lived Pokemon and hir fire wasn't up to scratch.

As if in response the crystals started to pulse around the cavern, Arctales's tails began to glow the same pink colour, raising up on their own accord.

"Hey, what's happening to-whoof!" the clone of Dusk said before getting smacked full on by the tail of Steelix, vanishing in a poof of black smoke before colliding with Dusk, sending hir flying to the middle of the cavern.

"ROOOAAAARRRRR!" the Steelix roared before making ready to smash hir to pieces with it's large head.

"I-I didn't ever think I would end up in such a pitiful way..." Dusk groaned. Shi tried to stand up but all the breath had left hir body with that attack; shi closed hir eyes and braced for the inevitable.

Shi heard the roar fill hir ears and the cavern, only no death came. Opening hir blue eyes a crack, Dusk gasped as shi saw the Steelix thrashing in mid-air as it floated just inches from hir. A pink glow surrounded it and when Dusk looked at Arctales, shi saw hir body glowed lightly with the same colour as the crystals, hir tails pulsing along with the crystals around them.

"ROAR?!" The brute roared in confusion as it hung in the air.

"I've had just about enough of you, you fuck," Arctales growled through clenched teeth, hir pads bleeding as shi dug hir claws in anger. "You will not take a life here, and I would very much like to see my friends again so Kindly!" Arctales shouted, focusing hir anger into a force and causing the Steelix to crash into one side of the cavern, "Leave Us!" Two more smashes followed as rocks started raining down on them. "ALONE!" Shi screamed, throwing him high to smash high into the side where it lay prone, embedded into the rock by the force.

"Arctales!" Dusk cried out, just grabbing hir in time as a boulder nearly landed on hir as shi succumbed to the after effects of the crystals power, hir body going limp in hir arms.

"Shit, what to do. We'll be buried here like this...wait!" Dusk said as shi reached into hir pouch and extracted hir last paper bomb. Tying it to a kunai, shi threw it next to the Steelix, the explosion catapulting it out of the cavern and the side of the mountain as blessed daylight streamed through.

Not wasting any time, Dusk hopped from falling rock to rock before using hir Ninja Teleport skill to vanish them both in a puff of black smoke to the entrance, thankful at least hir ninja powers worked here.

Just as they reached outside, a pair of red eyes stared right into hir face. "You again, what have you done" Lucario began to say before Dusk grabbed her arm.

"Later, MOVE!" Dusk growled as shi grabbed their paws, jumping just as the top half of the mountain began to cave in, the pair running down the collapsing side before leaping the rest of the way down.

"Okay you; now explain yourself-Hey!" Lucario cried out as Dusk slung Arctales over one shoulder and shoved her backwards only for the vixen to just dodge clear of the avalanche of boulders and rocks that rained down from the ruined mountain.

Lucario's eyes widened as she saw what could have easily been their burial site. "Um, thanks but this doesn't change anything. You have some explaining to do," Lucario said, standing up as her paws dripped in blood, looking as though she had tried digging through the mountain with her hands.

"Yes I know...can it wait until we get back to the rest though?" Dusk said tiredly, glancing at Arctales sleeping peacefully over hir shoulder.

*

They got back to a newly repaired cabin; Arcanine, Ninetales, Espeon and the cubs had worked overtime to repair the damage. The first thing Arcanine wanted to do was blast the fur off of the strange vixen before Ninetales put a restraining paw on her shoulder and Espeon ran up to Lucario when she saw her bleeding paws, rushing to get the first aid box out and wrap them up. "Idiot, you could have permanently damaged your paws trying to smash through the mountain," Espeon chided her.

"I know love, I couldn't think of anything else since my aura sphere was not doing much against it," Lucario winced in pain as the salve stung.

Arctales laid cradled in Ninetales lap, hir eyes closed in a restful sleep and head on her thigh as the cream coloured morph gently ran her fingers through hir long brown hair.

Dusk ran through hir story with them all, right up to their encounter with the Steelix and how Arctales had managed to somehow tap into the ancient energy to utilise hir mystical abilities. "As interesting as your story is, that still doesn't tell us how you ended up in our world," Ninetales said. She no longer was angry with the vixen though she could see her mate Arcanine still had some smoldering issues.

"I suppose I have neglected on those details," Dusk sighed, sipping a cup of tea. The aroma and taste really reminded hir of hir homeland in Japan. "Things were growing a bit stale in my life. I was happy with my mate and our cub, but the job was a drag and the village although nice was...slow. So we attempted to pick up where we had left off with my shaman training and I managed to enter the spirit world. Only...during a foolish experiment I tried to see what would happen if I also combined my ninja teleport with the spirit walking..."

"Hey Sheliah, what would happen if I tried teleporting here?"

"Wait Dusk, NO!"

Dusk cringed as the memory struck hir like a blow, hir mates parting anguished voice echoing in hir head. "...Next thing I knew I was in this snowy wasteland. I encountered what you call a Steelix but I was too exhausted. I had being sent hurtling through worlds and dimensions due to my teleport throwing things off balance and that seems to take a lot out of you. I had been trying to spirit walk, to sense my mate but...well I had exhausted myself too much to be a match anyways with that beast. When I saw you all I thought I had accidently entered the demon realm since...well the Ninetails legend has a very different spin in my world."

"Oh dear...I'm not sure what we can do to help you," Espeon said in a quiet voice, tears forming in her eyes as Lucario held her slender form tight to her.

Arcanine thudded a fist into the floor as a revelation hit her, causing everyone to jump in the quiet of the moment. "I've had a thought. Normally I let my actions do the talking but I genuinely have an idea. It sounds like those crystals in the mountain acted as an anchor for Dusk which pulled hir over to our world."

Ninetales and the rest stared at the strong morph with eyes bugging out. "Did you...just come up with a plausible theory?" Lucario gasped, gaping at her in wide mouth shock.

"Hey contrary to what people think I am not stupid, just tend to let my actions talk," Arcanine grumbled as she folded her arms in front of her large bust before Ninetales put her arm around her shoulders.

"I never thought you was thick my love, but it has given me an idea. Building on your theory if we could find a surviving crystal we could essentially use it to send Dusk back home."

Dusk's blue eyes widened in hope, "Okay I'll come and...ugh!" shi grunted as hir body complained in protest.

"You need to rest, please," Espeon said softly, pushing the vixen back onto the bed they had made for hir on the floor.

"Nn-no, I need to..." Dusk began until hir blue eyes glazed over, hir mind giving in to exhaustion before gently falling back into the duvet they laid out for her.

Gently laying Arctales next to hir, Ninetales gently kissed hir muzzle lips before standing up. "Okay...we have about an hour of good light left. We'd better get moving," she said with a determined look in her ruby eyes.

"Wait, after all the trouble she caused us we are going to help her now?" Arcanine grumbled again before Lucario slapped her upside her head.

"Look tits, shi was scared and feeling separated from hir mate. How would you feel if you was faced with the possibility you would never get to see Ninetales or Arctales, or any of us again?" Lucario scolded her.

"Well I...I..." Arcanine huffed before admitting defeat, "okay I'd probably tear everything up to find a way back," she mumbled sullenly.

Hugging Arcanine to her, Ninetales nodded before announcing, "Right; let's get looking."

Hurt and heal: Liam's story

It was late in the evening, the stars were in full view and pubs were quieting for the night, save those working late. At the end of a dimly lit street a small pub stood called The Golden Oak, the gold lettering on the front illuminated by its one...
