A Vow to the Sun
#2 of Machinations of a Trainer
Alright, another time, another story.
I've decided to expand the character depth in this one, so unfortunately it won't feature any sex. It won't be shy of some humor, though, if you know where to look.
If you're in it for the hot Poke-poking, then fear not my perverted friend, it shall come with time. I just enjoyed my character so much that I thought I should flesh him and his Pokemon out some more, turning him into a main character instead of "That one guy who screwed the Absol." That, and I think I need to work on my story-telling skills.
If you still don't feel like reading, then all is still well. All of my erotic fics will have enough "story" to sate your pallette without having to read through the non-pronny chapters. If you're bored (or like my way of writing enough to flatter me with your time), then feel free to give this a look!
So, let us begin.
To clarify, the character is the trainer from my previous story. This story also takes place the following morning.
=============================================
My eyes fluttered open to a series of loud beeps. The sun had illuminated the tent from the outside, shadows of leaves breaking the blue continuity of the inner walls of the tarp. I opened the skylight, wincing as the noon-day sun stared directly back at me.
I sat up, wincing as I felt the muscle strain from the training I had done the yesterday took it's toll. Then my mind shot to what I had done before bed. I mated with my own absol. I didn't regret it, of course, but I contributed it to my feeling of tired contentment. As the beeping began to etch itself into my ear, I started searching frantically for the source of that cacophonious noise.
It came from my pokenav, the green button in the center lighting up as it alerted me to an incoming call. I moaned tiredly as I reached for it, laying it in my lap and pressing the button, not bothering with checking the ID. The top of the round, yellow device flipped up to reveal a screen, blinking online as it flashed "Answering..."
The professor's daughter, May, stared up at me from the screen I held in my lap. "Hi Zack, I just wanted to-" she cut herself off with a yell, the screen shaking violently as she nearly dropped her own pokenav. She squealed, in her embarrassed tone of voice, "I'm sorry!"
The screen went blank, flashing "Call ending..." as the device deactivated and closed itself. I stared at it, still in my groggy state. It took me a short while to discover that I was in fact still naked from the excursion with Katherine last night and had the pokenav looking up at me from my lap. May was a shy girl, and seeing a naked man on her screen, regardless whether or not she has had sex with me before, was obviously going to shock her.
I laughed to myself, rubbing the back of my head with my hand. "Whoops...that didn't go too well. Hey, Kat-" Looking to my side where Katherine should have been, I saw nothing but the evidence of her being there; a few stray ivory-colored hairs and the outline of her quadrapedal form indented into the open sleeping-bag. Curious, and a bit worried, I looked around for her. Kat was the most dangerous when you couldn't see her, especially in my current...vulnerable state.
I decided that it would be a good idea to get dressed before going out to look for her. I checked where I had thrown my shirt off. Nothing. I smiled, thinking to myself that the ravenous act must have displaced it. Checking where I removed my pants and boxers before said act even began, seeing only where they should have been.
After looking under the meager trappings of the tent, I sat naked in bewilderment. None of my things could be found save for the sleeping bag I sat apon and the pokenav in my lap. Cursing my luck, I unzipped the tent and looked outside to see if I would have to wrap my bag around my naked form.
I was in for a shock, to say the least. All of my pokemon were a little ways off in a clearing, sitting in a circle with Katherine in the middle. She seemed going through several motions while speaking in her Poketongue, the others listening intently to the chatty Absol like kindergarteners listening to their teacher during story time.
I counted them all. There was Celia, my Flygon. She was laying on her belly, her arms crossed under her neck as she kicked her back legs, listening intently to whatever Katherine was saying with a smile.
Angel was also laying on her belly, but she didn't have much of a choice. She was a Lanturn, her fish tail waving back and forth with an open-mouth grin on her blue face. From her glowing antennae hung an amulet coin, the noon sun flashing it's golden beams across it's yellow, reflective surface.
The coin swung to one side as Kiki, my Skitty, batted at it with a little pink paw, drawn to the glimmering coin like so many fish to a lure. She was obviously more concerned about her shiny new toy than whatever Kat was saying.
Beside the fish with the bouncing kitty was my Ninetails, Fara, her glimmering white fur was outlined with the shining light of the glaring sun. She sat on her haunches, her right forpaw raised to her mouth as to stifle a gasp or giggle as Katherine made a rather suggestive movement with her hips. Her tails were in their ambient state, rising in a wave from left to right.
Finally there was Trent, my Sceptile. He was standing head and neck above them all, towering over the group of Pokemon as he watched the Absol tell her tale. He didn't seem as interested as the girls were, and noticed me quickly, bringing his scaley claw to his mouth and letting out cough in my direction.
The girls turned to face me. Seeing no-one else in the clearing, I stepped out of the tent, shuddering a little as the late summer breeze wrap around me. It wasn't unpleasant, but it was...new.
I stepped towards the circle and confirmed my suspicions. My bag and it's contents were sprawled in the center, Katherine having taken them all out to share with the others. I saw my porno mag with a couple of pages torn out, one of two young couples in a sixty-nine and the other showing a Nurse Joy, or an amazing facsimile, underneath an older man in a position similar to the one me and Kat were in last night.
As I got closer, several bird pokemon flew out of the branches of the nearby trees and away from the clearing. I suppose they were listening in, too...
I stopped outside the circle, looking at all of their faces. Celia looked at me for a moment, then looked away, as if distracted by something. A classic maneuver to avoid making eye contact, I thought. Angel kept that smile of hers and wiggled her antennae, bringing Kiki's short attention span away from me and back towards the coin. Fara brought her paw down and stared at me, studying me, while Trent looked down at Katherine, who was waving me over with a smile. "Hey master, it's good to see you're awake. Come 'ere!"
I stepped towards her, seeing my clothes sprawled around the place. "Kat, what's the deaAH-" I felt Fara's cold nose inspecting my privates, taking several sniffs before turning around and nodding to the everyone. Celia blushed, Angel let out a laugh, Kiki didn't care, and Trent stifled a laugh with his claw. If I wasn't awake before, the cold nose really shocked my system into full alert.
Katherine laughed, "Oh, nothing."
I let out a sigh, coming out of my initial shock from the frosty, wet intruder. "You told everyone?"
"You didn't tell me not to."
"I was asleep!"
"Aw, come on. What kind of harm could it do? Lighten up."
I thought about that. Among my own Pokemon, I didn't forsee any big deal out of it. Among others, though...
"Nobody else popped by to hear your story, did they?"
She thought for a moment, taking longer than I would have liked. "Hmm... maybe a few people..."
"Katherine!"
"Alright, joking. Some birds came by, but that was it." I frowned, hearing her giggle at my frustration. The last thing I needed was someone ruining my reputation before I even became a master. There are still plenty of people who look down on Poke-Human relationships.
She stopped her little laughing fit and looked at me with crocodile tears. "You're not ashamed of me, are you," she said with a mock sorrow as she widened her eyes and brought her leg up as if she was injured.
I shook my head. "My clothes, if you will." She picked up my shirt, shaking the dirt off of it and spreading it shoulder to shoulder in front of me. "Would you like me to dress you too, master?"
I yanked the shirt away, donning it. "Very funny, now how about my underwear?"
The Absol turned around to show me that she was wearing them, her tail poking through the crotch hole. I didn't notice before because of how they matched her white fur, I suppose. She giggled, "You'll have to take them," emphasising her words by wiggling her rear as she had done last night.
I squinted and pursed my lips as my other pokemon began laughing, Celia only managing a quiet giggle while Fara laughed out loud. Trent chuckled apologetically, but Angel rolled onto her side with laughter. Kiki looked around in confusion for a moment, then saw her chance and grabbed the Lanturn's antennae, letting out a victorious "Nya!"
Katherine chimed up. "Well? Are you going to disrobe me, master?"
I sighed and leaned down. Grabbing the hem of my own boxers on this sassy little Pokemon and began pulling. It didn't take long to discover that it was nearly impossible to remove them, and the chorus of laughter around me didn't help. I'm sure even some of the birds came back to witness the great pantsless trainer wrestle a pair of boxer shorts off an Absol.
With a final tug, I loosened my lower garments from her hind end, sending her doubling over in laughter. I put them on. At least they were still warm from Kat. The giggling didn't stop, but it quieted down.
This, I decided, was the last straw. I thought to myself "I will not have my authority as a Pokemon trainer underminded by a sassy little Absol." As I opened my mouth to end this game they were having, I heard Angel scream an aquatic scream, sounding like a small whale moaning.
Turning to check her, I saw Kiki dangling from the Lanturn's large lightbulb by her little Skitty fangs, wagging her tail happily. Angel was fretting and crawling with her small front flippers, Kiki swinging to and fro like a novelty ornament. I let out a sigh and moved in to help the emperiled Pokemon.
I could tell it was going to be a long day...
***
An orange hue blanketed the sky, casting it's dim glow across the forest as Nincadas sang their shrill song of the dying day. Shadows stretched across the clearing where I stood, snatching the last few bits of daylight from the small grove. I looked over my Pokemon with a discerning eye, all bearing the evidence of a long day of training: scuff marks, bandages, the ocassional aching groan.
"Alright, my little batallion," I said to each of them with the air of an Army drill seargent. "Despite this afternoon's...incident...I'm proud of the work you did today. Keep this up, and the League won't be any trouble for us."
I heard half-hearted moans of acknowledgement. It seemed that they were too tired to do anything else.
"As a treat, you all get to sleep outside your balls tonight." I smiled as everyone perked up, Kiki immediately accepting the invitation and falling to her belly, sleeping on the spot in a small pile of fatigued fur.
"...With the apparent exception of Kiki, the rest of you have one more task to complete: making camp. Trent, you set up the tent. Kat, you gather the firewood. Celia, create a firepit. Fara, you light it up while Angel finds us some fish to cook." They all straightened up and made a salute fitting for my current mindset, going about their assigned task with a newfound vigor.
I looked around, the sunset nearing it's end as the darkness reached across the woods, casting it's eternal shadow apon the trees. I examined myself, viewing at the bruises and scratches that I accumulated in today's excersizes. Training alongside my Pokemon gave me a sense of improvement; anyone can tell a Pokemon what to do, but only someone who can do it beside them could be called a master.
As I recounted todays training, I remembered May's rather embarassing call. I unlatched my pokenav from the holster on my belt and contacted her number. It rang for a short while, and then the screen flashed to show May's flushed face. "Uh...hello?"
"Hi, May," I said with a hint of embarassment. "Was there something you wanted to talk to me about earlier? Before...you know..."
May looked away for a moment, trying to recollect her thoughts. "Well...I...um..." She stuttered a bit in her usual fasion. May wasn't the outgoing type, but none-the-less she travelled the trainer's road. She was smart, and always had several bits of information about any Pokemon she came across. Her ambition, however, was to further her father's research, not feeling strong enough for the League.
Her eyes widened, "Oh! That's right, I was going to ask you if you were busy this weekend."
I smiled, "My schedule is clean for training for the next few months. The League isn't too far away."
"Oh...that's right...well, if you aren't doing anything next Saturday...I've decided to start entering my Pokemon in contests. I figured that it would be a great way to see other species! That, and I'm much better at this than I am at battling...I hope."
As she lightened up, I took pleasure in seeing her smile. She quickly added, "Oh! the winner also has a chance to talk to the reigning Champion of the Hoenn League! He's going to make a special appearance with his Blaziken at the end of the show. To think, I could get a chance to meet the man who broke the level barrier! I would make my father so proud."
I was suddenly very interested in what she had to say. Seth, the Hoenn League Grand Champion, the Legend Master. Seth's Blaziken is the only documented Pokemon to ever exceed the one-hundred level mark. Seeing him in action is nothing short of a trainer's dream, and actually meeting him...
"Can you take a friend?" I asked cordially.
"I don't see why not."
"Alright, I'll see you this Friday! I have to give you my personal evaluation, after all."
She became giddy with excitement. "Alright! I'll see you then!" She went to turn off her pokenav, but then paused.
"Oh, one more thing, Zack."
"Yeah?"
She grinned, "Make sure you put some clothes on. Can't let the whole world see the future Champion naked on national television!"
"I'll try to keep that in mind. Good night, May."
She blew me a kiss, something that didn't fit her character. She must have been feeling alot better. As the nav turned off, I simply shrugged and holstered it. From behind me, I heard a familiar voice.
"So, was that your mate?" Said Kat in her soft, yet pronounced voice. She came up beside me and sat down, looking up at me.
I gave the question a little thought. "I guess you could say that," I finally responded. "Don't you have wood to gather?"
The Absol leaned her furred face against my waist. "I guess you could say that..." She replied with a soft undertone. Looking down at her, I realized that she had very little marks from today's workout. She trained extremely hard today, but you wouldn't have known it from looking at her.
My hand reached down and ruffled her head fur. I gazed down on the camp from my vantage point atop the hill and saw Fara lighting a recently gathered pile of wood with a will-o-wisp. The campfire going, Angel and Trent started setting up fish-pikes to cook dinner. I smiled and sat beside Katherine, feeling her warm head pressed against my shoulder.
Kat began speaking, "Is she strong? She sounded like a wimp."
May wasn't tough. Quite the opposite, really. Her Pokemon were used mainly to capture and record data for her pokedex, not battle trainers. She did have evolved Pokemon with her, such as her Swampert, but I believe they were either caught that way or evolved in order to protect her.
"Not really," I responded with a reserved demeanor. I don't like to backtalk people behind when they aren't there, but it felt different talking with my Pokemon. I didn't even think about how Kat's ability to speak could be used against me.
"Well, if she's not strong, what attracts you to her?" The confused Absol enquired as she stared at me with her red, shining eyes. I had to think about that, how do you explain human attraction to a Pokemon?
"She has her good parts, to me at least. She's smart, beautiful, kind, and she does this cute thing where she puffs out her cheeks when she's mad."
Kat cocked her head to one side inquisically. "That's it?"
"Well, yeah."
"Doesn't sound like much of a mate to me."
I expected something like this. "Well, how should a mate be, then?"
She pointed her head up to the sky, turning her nose upwards. "Hmm...your mate should be strong, not a little nerdy girl who you have to protect."
"Strength isn't everything, Kat."
She giggled a little, bringing her head back down to stare at the forming camp. "I suppose she has her uses. Maybe she can think up strategies or cook a good meal when you get home. Sure, her hips aren't child-bearing material, but you humans have things around that, right?"
Suddenly I didn't feel so comfortable talking about this with her. "Kat, go see if the food's done."
She shot a glance at me, frowning cutely. "Aww, but-"
"Listen to your master, Katherine, or you sleep in your ball tonight."
The annoyed Absol out a dissapointed huff, looking just like May with her cheeks puffed out. "Fine..." She began walking down the hill, turning back to stare at me, the light of the fading day surrounding her white fur causing it to mimic it's golden-orange hue.
"If you change your mind and want a strong mate, you know where to find me." She lifted her tail and winked at me, coaxing a smile out of my lips. She bounded away, giggling as she sprung from spot to spot back to the campsite.
I turned to the setting sun behind me, the hill being high enough to just peek over the lower trees. The orange light washed over me as I felt the wind pick up the tail of my short coat. I bathed in the moment, spreading my arms and taking in a deep breath of the forest air. The air swirled around me and ran across my outstretched limbs, throwing my loose clothes into a frenzied dance.
"I will become a master...no, I will become the Hoenn Champion!" I vowed to the setting sun. The mantle of Champion came with perks: Travelling the world as Hoenn's Pokemon Ambassador, getting summoned for promotional events, and gaining the respect of the whole region of Hoenn. Being a Champion sure sounded like a swell gig.
I smiled and spun on my heels, looking to the camp and my Pokemon inhabitants. I saw the pink dot that was my Skitty stealing the blue blob of my Lanturn's fish. As Angel's pursuit of the pilfering Pokemon began, I started down the hill as the tired sun flashed it's swan song of vermillion, allowing the moon and the stars to come out of hiding as the night began.
=========================================
And scene! Very good work, everyone! You read the whole thing! Or didn't read descriptions and tried, in vain, to find the hot sexing.
But hey, that works too.
So, what do ya think? I believe this is the first time I've written a non-porny fic that I'm satisfied with. Let me know if you liked it, or if you thought it could be better.
It's a bit long, yes, but you know that now. If you think my other stories should be shorter, then please tell me. I'm trying to find the "Magic Length"
No, not eight inches. Lol you so hentai ^_^
Well, I'm out. Chances are I'll be revising this as I think of some new bits, but I'll be sure to let you know when I do.
Thank you for playing,
Matt, the Z-Byte
