Chapter One: The Smith

Blood, that was all that filled my vision.

It was not my blood.

No, it was her's.

The one who completed me, the one who loved me more than the world itself.

She was dead, and now, they will all die.

---

Green eyes snapped open as a man in his mid twenties leapt into a sitting position as he was hauled out of his sleep by the nightmare that plagued him. Gasps for air filled the silent stillness of his room as he sat there, his eyes wildly darting around, his hand grasping for something, for anything to use as a weapon before he realized where he was.

Taking a deep breath he calmed himself, using one of his palms in an attempt to wipe the sweat from his face as he recovered from the dream. 'Ten year after the fact, and it still haunts me,' he thought to himself grimly, casting a look over towards a sheathed katana leaning up against the wall next to the door.

Shaking his head clear of dour thoughts, he collected himself and headed towards the shower to begin his morning routine.

Once he had pulled off his sleeping clothes, which was a pair of boxers and an undershirt, he cracked the knob for the hot water and stepped in, letting out a pleased sigh as the hot water pounded against his body, unmindful of the nearly scalding heat as he just sat under the stream of water for a few moments.

Once his body finally relaxed the man let out a sigh before grabbing the soap and started cleaning the sweat from his body.

When he was finished with his shower he threw on a simple black t-shirt with blue jeans and grabbed the katana sitting next to the door to his room before heading out into the simple single story home that he lived in.

Moving through the house he stepped outside using the kitchen door and closed his eyes taking a deep cleansing breath of the cool dawn air. Stepping further out into the yard he came to a stop and took a look around, a solitary house in the middle of a clearing of a somewhat large forest, close enough to a small town to walk to and purchase supplies or to meet suppliers, but far enough for the solitude he wanted.

Taking another breath he reopened his eyes and settles into a loose stance, drawing out his blade, revealing it's light crimson casted metal as he held it at his side at the ready.

At an unseen signal he began to move through an intricate series of katas, smoothly transitioning from one form to the next, even changing the style he moved in several times through the course of his training, sparring with an unseen enemy.

Sweat began to build up on his body as he pushed it to its limits the rapid movements of his swordplay causing his muscles to begin to burn from the exertion.

By the time he finished the sun had lifted itself from the horizon and was beginning to make it's way upwards. "'prolly about ten now," the man muttered to himself as he sheathed his sword before letting out a sigh. "Best get to work on the gear."

Shaking his head he grabbed a nearby towel and wiped the sweat off of his face before heading off towards the second structure that took residence in the clearing he made his home. It looked like a barn on the outside, something reinforced by the small patch of vegetables growing next to it.

In reality, however, the farming equipment barely took up a small portion of the barn, the majority of it was one giant workshop for forging weapons and armor, several dozen blades and pieces of armor were arrayed along the walls of the barn, ranging from the relatively simple broadswords, to the complicated and time consuming katanas, from a simple fashioned piece of metal, to intricate scale mails, if you wanted it, chances are, it could be found within these walls.

And many did find what they needed there, leading to his name being known through the Edo League as the person to go to for premiere weapons and equipment for either the Tamers, military and civilians alike, or the pokegirls that accompanied them.

Yup, the name Ryu Hisanaga was a known one to many, leading to many willing to take the trek from major cities to the small town that he lived near, and then hike all the way to his home to make their orders or purchase the gear on the walls.

Ryu grabbed the blacksmithing apron that hung on the wall near the entrance to the barn and pulled it on, tying it off around his back and allowing the part that normally covers his chest to hang from the waist.

Moving around the barn he started the assorted equipment up, heating up the forge using several custom enchantments to bring it up to its optimal temperature quickly and keep it contained within the forge itself.

As the forge reached the optimal temperature Ryu moved over towards a series of large storage bins that contained various ingots of metal, from Iron to Carbon, there were ingots of all kinds within those containers.

Looking through them Ryu quickly pulled out an ingot of Steel and Copper before moving over to the forge and used a pair of heavy duty tongs to place them into the melting pot to allow the metals to be mixed as they were changed to liquid form.

As he waited for the metals to melt he moved over to a large barrel filled to the brim with water and used a pair of tongs to reach in and pull out a thin length of metal that he looked over, carefully inspecting the unpolished metal for any flaws.

Nodding his satisfaction at the blade he brought it over to a sturdy table that bore a runic pentagram upon it and set it down upon the table and brought out a small bottle of an inky black substance and a small precision brush and began to trace the needed runes to apply the enchantments onto the metal.

Once the tedious duty of applying the special magically conductive ink to the metal was completed, covering it in a large intricate design, he pricked his thumb with a pin to allow a few droplets of blood to fall onto the ink, creating a link between him and the magical conductor.

Once that was done he began to use that link to feed his magical energy into the metal, lighting the ink up with eldritch energies as the runic sequence guided the magic into strengthening the metal increasing its durability.

After several moments of the process, the glowing ink began to fade away into the metal, signifying the success of the enchantment. Picking up the length of metal he brought it over to the grinding machine he had set up nearby and began the lengthy process of sharpening the metal into a proper sword.

Time flowed easily as he worked on sharpening and shaping the metal into the desired shape, occasionally reheating it to work it into a more acceptable shape. He was in the process of the fourth sharpening when a buzzer sounded near his forge, signifying the ingots had melted completely.

Setting the metal aside for the time being he moved to the forge and reached in with the tongs to pull out the container with the now liquid combined metals and slowly began to pour them out into a set of armor molds, each one of them enchanted to ensure that the metals bonded properly as they cooled, allowing them to retain their strength.

Once the last drop was poured he set the container and tongs aside and let out a breathy sigh as he wiped the sweat from his brow. Feeling his stomach begin to rumble he casted a look over toward the wall mounted clock and shook his head as he saw the time of 2:25pm. "I really need to keep better track of the time," he muttered to himself as he set the liquid metal to be cooled overnight and left the barn, making sure to close the door behind him and moved towards the house to make himself something to eat and get started on the daily upkeep chores.

A small group walked up to the house, a bit surprised at how simple it looked. The group was comprised of a man and two women. The man stood at 5'11", looked to be around 29 years old, had chocolate brown hair done in a buzz cut, a bushy moustache the same color as his hair, violet eyes that almost seemed to glow with an inner light, and asian skin. He was clad in a dark blue sleeveless tunic, black fingerless gloves, black pants, and black shoes, underneath a dark blue breastplate and black greaves. Dark blue armored bracers were mounted on his forearms, a katana sword rested in its sheath on his back, and on his right shoulder was a tattoo of a katana sword imposed over a blue tornado.

The first woman shared the man's hair, eye, and skin color, though her hair had been tied into a ponytail which fell to the level of her waist, and stood two inches shorter than the man, and had DD-Cup Breasts. She had similar clothes and armor to the man, as well, though she actually had a Wakizashi on her right hip in addition to the katana, which was on her left hip. Her tattoo was on her left shoulder, and was similar to the man's, except that she had two crossed katana swords in her tattoo.

The second woman was a fair bit shorter than her companions, at 5'4", with C-Cup Breasts, and had dark red hair and blue eyes in addition to her asian skin. She was also dressed much differently, wearing a pair of high heeled boots, with fish netting covering her legs and arms, along with hip-length black armored shorts, a long draping red and grey skirt in a fire pattern, with a black, red and silver colored vest with somewhat curved spiked shoulder pads(1). She also had a weapon on her back, like the man, but her weapon looked like a wooden staff with an intricate flame pattern on one end.

However, all three had one item of clothing in common - matching rings of solid Dawn Stone adorned the ring fingers on each of their right hands.

"You sure about this?" the red-haired woman said. "I mean, you two have decent swords already, and my staff has served me well enough…"

"Yeah, but our blades have had to be repaired a fair number of times," the man replied. "From what I've heard, Hisanaga's blades are pretty hard to damage, if not impossible, and it's said they can bond with their user. We could certainly use weapons like that, Kimiko, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a staff for you, as well."

The newly-identified Kimiko sighed. "Alright, Takeshi, if that's how you feel, I'm fine with it," she replied. "Still, who knows if he actually has weapons that suit us."

"Won't find out until we try," the other woman said, as they walked up to the house before the man, Takeshi, rang the doorbell.

"Just a second!" a male voice called out from within the house. Moments later the door opened to a man in his mid twenties wearing a simple black t-shirt and jeans with short dark brown hair and green eyes. "You here to make a purchase?" he questioned.

"Yeah," Takeshi replied. "Looking for new blades for myself and my Alpha, Sayane," and he indicated the woman who shared his hair and eye color at this, "and your blades are supposed to be more durable than any other weapons, even the blades my clan makes." He then indicated Kimiko. "Plus, thought we might see if you had anything for Kimiko here - her current wooden staff is a good way to channel her fire magic, but I'd rather she have something a bit stronger."

Ryu nodded and stepped out from the doorway, closing it behind him. "Follow me," he told the trio as he lead them around his home and towards a rather large barn like structure where he opened it up and gestured for them to follow him inside. "Don't touch any of the equipment," he instructed as they entered, revealing the large wall of assorted offensive and defensive equipment.

"Wow, that's a lot of weapons," Takeshi remarked. "Swords, double-bladed swords, lances, axes, hammers, staves… and are those bows over in that corner?"

"Anything and everything," Ryu confirmed as he leaned against the wall. "If you take one down, please return it if you choose not to purchase it."

"Right," Takeshi said, as he and his two 'girls moved to look amongst the various weapons. Sometimes they would take a weapon down and do a few test swings, but they'd eventually place it back on the rack.

Eventually, though, Takeshi picked up a nodachi, about four feet long. It possessed a bright silvery sheen, with whorls of green and blue running up and down the blade. He paused for a moment, before moving to an open space and performing a kata - a rather acrobatic one with leaps, backflips, spins, and all other manner of high-mobility strikes. Once he was finished, he smiled. "Yeah, I'll take this one," he said. "It's so lightweight… Mithril?"

"Partly," Ryu amended. "Also some Malachite and Quicksilver, enchantments for barrier nullification, but be careful, it draws upon your magic pool and the stronger the barrier, the more it drains your reserves."

"Gotcha," Takeshi replied. "Never really used magic, myself, even though I have a fair amount of potential… always preferred using blades, to be honest."

Meanwhile, Sayane had chosen her own blades, a pair of more standard-length katanas.

Kimiko, on the other hand, soon found a bright silver staff, four-and-a-half feet long, colored red on one end while the other had a golden fixture on which was set a brilliant star ruby. Picking it up, the gem seemed to glow as it reacted to her magical power. Channeling her magic into it, it responded much easier than her wooden staff, as flames came into existence around the ruby.

"The swords are primarily titanium, with some carbon mixed in, enchanted for incredible durability, Typhonna herself probably couldn't snap those," Ryu informed. "And the staff is a new metal uncovered in the Dark Continent, Akainium, it's a good magical conductor."

"They'll do perfectly/It'll do perfectly," Sayane and Kimiko said in unison, before turning to each other and giggling at their unplanned synchronicity.

"So, how much?" Takeshi asked.

"25,000 for all," Ryu informed bluntly.

Takeshi nodded, as he got out the appropriate amount. "Sounds reasonable… I doubt my blade and Sayane's were easy to make, and if they only recently found the metal in Kimiko's new staff, I'd imagine it's hard to procure."

Ryu nodded in confirmation as he looked quickly over the money and nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you for your business," he said plainly as he led the way out of the barn. "Do you need any solvents or cleaning supplies for them?"

"Certainly wouldn't hurt," Takeshi remarked. "Extra charge for those, or what?"

"I have surplus," Ryu explained. "So 200 for a full set."

Takeshi nodded as he handed over the appropriate amount. "Thank you very much," he said. "If I run into any more members of my clan in need of weapons, I'll direct them your way."

Ryu nodded as he dug out the cleaning supplies and handed them over in return. "Thank you for your business," he replied. "Safe travels."

"Thank you," Takeshi replied. "And may you have good fortune in your smithing." After saying that, he turned and left with his two 'girls.

Ryu sighed as he watched the trio leave his clearing, following his trail back towards town before casting a look towards his wares. "Maybe it's time for me to go out into civilization for a while," he muttered quietly to himself before suddenly letting out a nostalgic chuckle. "She'd kick my ass and drag me out if she was still here…"

He shook his head as he moved back into the barn. "Better finish my project and pack some wares then," he declared to himself. "If I want to be ready to go then."

---

Hakuma Town, it's a rather unremarkable little town, having a train station and a few stores surrounded by farming and logging homesteads, really the largest claim to fame this town had was that it was the closest place to Ryu's home.

Ryu smiled and nodded at the familiar faces as he walked into town, a hired Tamer and his Amachoke trailing behind him, the muscular pokegirl carrying a container loaded with an assortment of his wares. "Go ahead and take it to the station, I've already called the stationmaster, he knows it's coming," he told the pair, getting nods of confirmation as they headed off to the train station, Ryu himself ducking into a small cafe.

"Ryu!" a middle aged man with brown hair beginning to recede from his forehead and wearing a simple shirt and pants with an apron overtop called out to Ryu. "Welcome, what are you doing in town on this day?"

"Just passing through today, Greg," Ryu greeted the owner of the cafe as he took a seat at the bar of the cafe. "Heading to Henka Port to sell some of my wares."

"Ah, finally rejoining civilization are we?" he questioned with a wide smile. "Very well! Selene, whip up Ryu his usual will you?"

"You got it Greg!" Selene, a Vesta with a slightly lighter than usual crimson red fur, called out in return as she began to took.

"Thanks Selene!" Ryu called out in return. "How's business been?"

"Not too badly, the occasional new face heading towards you, but other than that, nothing else really has been happening," Greg informed with a shrug. "That's what I like about these small towns, just so relaxing and quiet."

Ryu snorted with a small smirk. "And very predictable," he added.

"That too," Greg agreed as they began to idly chat, even as Selene brought out a plate with a burger and fries, getting a thankful nod from Ryu.

"Thanks for the meal," Ryu announced as he finished his food, leaving some cash on the table. "I'll be seeing you when I get back."

"Ah, maybe you'll have yourself a nice girl," Greg replied softly, giving him an understanding smile. "And watch your back, they say Team Rocket is on the rise again."

Ryu gave him a thankful nodded and headed to the train station, briefly checking in with the stationmaster to ensure his cargo was loaded on without any issues before boarding the train and settled himself into an empty compartment, once he was settled he leaned back in his seat, keeping a hand close to the hilt of his sword and allowed his eyes to drift close, falling into a light slumber.

---

Ryu snapped out of his light doze as the door to his compartment was opened, barely preventing himself from drawing out his sword in retaliation to a perceived attack as a young male teen with sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes, he was wearing a pair of slightly loose blue jeans, held up by a black belt, and a white t-shirt with the logo for a popular band emblazoned upon its chest, looked in. "Ah, sorry, um… is it alright if we sit here?" the teen questioned hopefully.

Ryu blinked and nodded his acceptance, relaxing back into his seat as the teen and another teen entered the compartment and sat down across from him. The second teen was a young woman, looking to be just as old as the male, with a muted blue colored hair that fell around her shoulders and a pair of cherry red eyes wearing a skintight black body suit that left her arms and legs bare with a pair of open toed shoes.

"Thanks, every other compartment we came across was full," the teen explained in embarrassment. "My name's Kenji Homura, and this is Fuujin, I'm just starting out on my journey."

Ryu smiled at him, flashes of his past popping up here and there before shaking his head to clear his mind of them. "I am Ryu Hisanaga, a pleasure to meet you," he returned. "So, I take it you're taking the League Challenge then?"

Kenji nodded excitedly, Fuujin giggling next to him. "Yeah, I am," he confirmed, before he paused for a moment. "Wait, aren't you that reclusive smith from up near Hakuma town?"

"Yes, that is I," Ryu confirmed. "I felt like heading back to civilization for a bit to sell my wares."

"Oh wow! My mom's told me about you, you might not remember her, but she said she's the one who helped you set up your forge," Kenji stated excitedly.

Ryu frowned for a moment, trying to recall the person. "Ah, your mother's Anna, isn't she?" he recalled. "Yes, she was very helpful with that."

Kenji chuckled weakly as an embarrassed flush rose up on his face. "Wow, mom was telling the truth," he commented happily.

"Of course she did!" Fuujin exclaimed happily. "She always does, at least when it's not a prank."

Ryu chuckled in response. "What breed are you?" he asked the 'girl curiously, making her blink in response before smiling.

"I'm a Kunoichi!" she declared happily.

Ryu let out a small 'ah' sound. "Tell you what, you mother refused a payment from me in return for her help, so, I'd like to give you two one of my wares. free of charge," he told the pair, getting their eyes to widen. "When we get to Henka Port, just drop by the marketplace sometime later today and I should have my stall set up."

"R-Really?" Kenji breathed in shock. "Tha… I… Thank you!"

Ryu nodded. "It's not a problem," he assured with a small smile. "So, how's your mother been doing?"

---

Henka Port, it's one of the largest ports within the Edo League, being the league's primary shipping ports for foreign and domestic goods to travel all across the PLC. As such the town quickly grew and expanded with several districts dedicated to marketplaces alone, with Ryu being lucky enough to get a stall set up in the primary marketplace right near the local Pokegirl League Gym and Pokegirl Center where many travelling active and inactive Tamers stayed the night.

Once his wares had arrived he started setting up his stall, hanging some of them up on the stall walls, others arrayed on the display table before him, while the majority were safely tucked away in his container. He had just sat down on the stool behind the table when a silver-haired girl with torn clothes rushed past in a panic, drawing quite a bit of attention from the other people in the marketplace.

Ryu blinked in surprise as the girl tripped off of a stray rock and fell in front of his stall. "Miss," Ryu called out as he stood up and came around to her. "Miss, are you alright?"

"Ow…" she groaned as she pulled herself up, before her eyes snapped wide open and she clung to him desperately. "T-Team Rocket!" she got out, still panting heavily as she began rattling out a chain of unintelligible words.

"Miss, please, calm down," Ryu requested as a crowd began to gather. "Take deep breaths, I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened."

The girl clapped a hand over her mouth, before she blushed and began doing as Ryu had instructed, sucking in deep breaths and letting them out again. Once she was sufficiently composed, she buried her face in his shirt. "M-My sisters… we were attacked… T-They held them off while I got a-away…"

Clearly she wasn't quite as composed as she had initially thought, she realized with a darker blush.

Ryu frowned mightily, a far off voice echoing inside of his head. "Where?" he asked firmly. "Where was this?"

"I'll l-lead you there!" she forced herself to stand, as she looked back where she had come from.

"You don't have to, miss," Ryu assured as he grabbed his katana. "Just tell me where they are."

The girl froze as she looked into Ryu's eyes. In those green eyes, she could see strong determination and courage, not to mention they just seemed to go on forever… Without a doubt, this stranger was strong. She sucked in another breath and forced herself to concentrate. "A-A dark alley… o-off 43, Maita Avenue. It's opposite t-t-the convenience store…"

Ryu nodded. "Stay with her and call the authorities," he commanded the local security officer who blinked in surprise before nodded as Ryu dashed off.

Following the girl's instructions, Ryu made his way through the port city, making quick time as he flowed through the crowds.

As he ran, memories kept flashing through his mind, a red headed girl with shockingly clear blue eyes as she smiled at him, skipping a bit ahead of them, laughter on their lips as they walked.

That same girl, scowling angrily at a man as she slugged him across the face as he tried to force himself onto her.

The girl, hard at work side by side with him as they forged weapons.

Sleeping with her head on a desk, him placing a blanket on top of her, a number of books surrounding her.

Her, laying before him, dead, ripped to pieces by the insectile creatures that were now mocking him as they approach, their scythe like arms reaching for him.

And her blood, soaking his hands as he carried her to his home, to give what was left of her a burial.

'Not again…' he swore to himself mentally as he came up to the dark alley the girl described. Keeping a hand on the hilt of his katana he swept through the alley, keeping a careful lookout for danger as he followed the alley up to an abandoned looking warehouse. 'I will not fail again…'

Reacting to his gut, Ryu quickly shimmied his way up the warehouse to the roof, using the assorted vent covers and industrial equipment to climb up, where he looked in through one of the skylights to bear witness to a group of men, clad in black clothes of varying styles with stylized 'R's on their chests order a bunch of Pokegirls to load up the crates.

"A pretty good haul this week," one of the black clad men chuckled, completely unaware of their guest. "Did you see the chests on the two that Dave caught? What I wouldn't give to be the ones to break those two in!"

His partner chuckled. "Well, apparently Dave's deciding to keep them around since we're above quota, you know the rules," the other said in dark humor. "So long as quota is met, then we get to pick one or two for our own."

Ryu's grip on his katana tightened to the point where his knuckles began to whiten as he drew out the katana. "Akira…" he whispered softly to the sword, declaring its name. "Shift - Bow Form."

The katana seemed to pulse slightly as its form began to waver, becoming indistinct before lengthening to almost twice its length and re-solidifying into a compound bow.

This was his weapon, forged and named after his dead lover, with her willingly allowing her soul to be placed within the weapon, a technique that is considered to be borderline necromancy by the Vale Magic Council, transforming it into something more - a Reiken, a Soul Sword, of which only a handful existed.

Gripping the string of the sword-turned-bow he stood, drew the string back, allowing it to draw upon his magic to form a pair of Mana Arrows.

As the arrows formed he began to whisper an incantation. "Light is meaningless, for the world shall be consumed by Darkness - Dark Curtain." he chanted quietly, causing everyone below him to go blind as their vision was consumed by darkness, causing shouts of panic to rise up.

Once the panic began to set in, Ryu unleashed his grip on the string, allowing it to propel the Mana Arrow down into the midst of the largest group of black clad pokegirls, the arrow detonating as it landed in their midst throwing them into the air, magical burns adorning their body as the majority of them slumped to the ground where they landed.

The explosion disrupted the illusion spell he had casted upon the group, allowing them to regain their vision as they began to search for the source.

"Dammit, we've been found, spread out and search for them!" the obvious leader shouted to the group. "I want these sons of bitches captured, you hear me?"

"Right!" the goons and loyal 'girls shouted eagerly as they began to fan out, unaware of Ryu above them.

"Cloak me in your unseen embrace," Ryu chanted quietly. "Chameleon's Blessing," his form wavered slightly before fading from vision allowing him to land inside the warehouse unseen as he approached the leader. "Akira, Shift - Dagger Form," he whispered quietly causing the bow to shift in his grip to a tanto-shaped knife as he came up behind the leader.

Reaching out he clamped a hand overtop of the man's mouth and rammed the knife into the man's voice box, hauling him back into a hidden corner as he quickly severed both of the man's jugulars, leaving him to bleed out, barely any noise coming from his ravaged throat.

Once the leader was dealt with Ryu kept up his silent killing, his cloak form unseen as the criminal gang began to realize that their numbers were dwindling.

"Wha… what's going on!?" one of the black clad pokegirls shouted in a mixture of fear and anger. "Who is doing this!?"

"Group up!" a Tamer shouted as they began to gather together, planting their backs to one another. "Keep your eyes peeled!"

Ryu backed away as they began to group up and began to climb up one of the storage racks to gain a better vantage point on the gang. "Akira. Shift - Bow Form," he whispered quietly making his weapons shift forms once again.

Pulling back on the string he allowed a dark grin to spread upon his face. "Overcharge," he whispered, triggering his weapon to draw more magic from his reserve 'overcharging' the arrow he had formed, making its form unstable as it grew in density, its power causing his illusion spell to be disrupted, revealing him to the group.

One of the 'girls opened her mouth to shout his presence out to the others - one second too late.

He let go of the arrow, letting it fly free, right into the center of the group, throwing himself off of the racking as it detonated, creating a shockwave that knocked over all the storage racks and their contents within the warehouse, Ryu barely escaping unscathed from the destruction.

The same could not be said for the group he was aiming at, being at ground zero as it were, assorted parts of them decorated the area as he moved through, heading towards what looked like what used to be the office area.

"Akira, Shift - Katana," he commanded his sword, speaking at a normal level as the weapon shifted back to its default form.

He could feel minute shakes begin to start in his body, shakes that he quickly suppressed, not wanting to show the signs of Magic Depletion to the enemy before he left the area. Shaking his head he cleared his mind before walking up to the door to the offices and quickly kicked it in to reveal a cowering, slightly rotund, man who let out a small squeak of fear at the sight of the single man who just so effectively destroyed their operations there. "The girls you captured today," Ryu hissed out as he calmly strode up to the man, allowing the tip of his sword to drag along the metal floor, producing an ominous metallic scratching sound that only added to the aura of doom around him. "Where are they?"

The man babbled for a few seconds before pulling a pair of black pokeballs from his belt, causing Ryu's blood to run cold.

There was only one type of Pokeball colored like that - the illegally modified 'balls that forced thresholding, for both females and males. "T-t-these a-a-are t-t-them," the criminal told him. "P-p-please don't kill me!"

Ryu said nothing as he grabbed the two 'balls with a sour look on his face. "No… you won't die," he commented, spotting another of the illegally modified balls nearby and kicked it at the man, hitting him dead on as he let out a scream of terror as he was encapsulated within a bright light before being drawn into the ball.

Sheathing his sword, he picked it up and studied it for a moment before setting it aside. "I suppose I should let you two out," he whispered quietly to the two in his hand before hitting the release button and tossing the balls into the air.

Two flashes of light resulted as a pair of 'girls tumbled onto the ground face first. They very quickly turned around to face the person that had released them. They had clearly been twins before their metamorphosis into Pokegirls - their facial features and general body structure were exactly the same.

"Please tell me you're not with them," one of them demanded, backing off from Ryu in fear. The other clung to her side, still completely unaware of the changes that had happened to them.

Ryu shook his head as he looked at the two balls they had been in before tossing them into the air and lashing out with his sword, slicing the 'balls in half. "Nope," he announced casually as the destroyed balls fell to the ground. "I'm pretty sure the last survivor of their little gang is right in here," he informed picking up another of the black balls.

Both of the girls began to glare at the black ball. "Can we have a piece of him?" the girl that had spoken earlier grinned ominously.

Ryu shook his head. "As… fun as that would be to watch, I'm going to be handing him over to the authorities," he told them. "I'm sure they will have some questions for your formerly male captor, plus, there is the punishment for using these things to consider… transforming the user and refusing them a level five is rather fitting in my opinion."

The twins visibly relaxed, heaving sighs of relief, while the other one actually began crying. "T-T-T-Thank you…" she rushed towards Ryu and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest.

Ryu's reply was rather unintelligible due to the rather… impressive size of her chest. The mooks he had taken down earlier hadn't been kidding at all when they were talking about their sizes.

"I-I-I thought we were d-d-d-done for…" she sobbed.

Her sister behind her let out a soft smile as she walked closer as well, heedless of her current state, and joined in the hug. "W-We really owe you one…" she whispered.

Ryu managed to pull himself from the pillowy prison that had confined him. "You… might want to look into the mirror before saying that," he said regretfully.

The two girls blinked several times before looking at each other. They let out simultaneous gasps as they took in their changes. The first girl sported skin in a pale shade of green, her long wavy hair that reached down to her back was the same colour, and she could even feel an… odd object sticking out just above her butt.

The second girl, the one who had hugged Ryu first, on the other hand, had retained most of her features from her human days including her silver hair, but with the addition of small curved horns jutting out of her temples. Her skin colour was paler now, close to white and her skin had a distinct leathery feel to it. Both of them sported incredible proportions though, with wide hips and at least E-cup busts, though the latter was slightly larger and had bloated nipples.

And they were also as naked as the day they were born.

"Eeeep!" the second girl squeaked and promptly passed out in shock.

"Is… is she alright?" Ryu asked as he caught her before she could hit her head and gently laid her down onto the ground.

"She's…" the remaining twin scratched her head. "In shock. I don't have any excuses for that. Hell, I think I'm in shock too," she muttered as she reached for the bulb on her back and gently squeezed it slightly, shivering as she felt the out-of-place sensations.

Ryu nodded in understanding as he pulled out an older model pokedex and quickly scanned the pair. "Looks like you've been changed into an… Ivywhore, and she changed into a… Milktit," he informed. "Odd… normally twins and family change into the same Elemental Type at the very least."

"Oooh, big boobs galore," the girl giggled, before letting out a resigned sigh. "Well… I suppose things could have turned out a lot worse…"

"I'm sorry, I came as soon as your sister found me," Ryu explained. "But… I guess we should just glad I got here before they shipped you off to god knows where."

The girl let out a shiver at that thought. "Please don't go there… I want to see my family again at least…" she pleaded, shaking slightly as her adrenaline rush began to wear off.

Ryu grimaced as he guided her to sit down on a nearby couch before she collapsed. "Well, I can guarantee you can," he assured her, patting her shoulder before moving to rummage through the room to look for something to cover themselves with. "After all, you're free now, and the authorities are on their way."

"As free as Pokegirls can be…" the girl forced a chuckle, adjusting herself to get comfortable - the damned thing on her back didn't take being squashed very well. "Now… we have to find a Tamer, right?"

Ryu gave her a sad smile. "I wish I could promise you it will get better," he told her regretfully as he managed to find some sheets and handed one to the now green skinned girl before draping a second over the currently unconscious girl, placing a bundle of cloth under her head as a makeshift pillow.

"I mean… I like having bigger boobs and butt and all…" the girl sighed, indicating said parts of her body before continuing, "…but we were really worried about the kinds of Tamers out there. If one of the bad sort took us in…" she trailed off, not quite wanting to think of what would happen.

Ryu nodded in understanding as he moved to sit across from her. "My…" he paused as a pained look crossed his face before continuing. "My partner was worried about the same thing before, and during, the thresholding process," he confided in her. "We had only recently met at the time… and she had pissed off quite a number of Tamers with her rebellious attitude and her right hook, believe me, she may have been a Slicer, but her right was something you didn't want to get in the way of."

The girl was about to open her mouth again, but she recalled that she didn't know his name. "Oh, where are my manners?" she berated herself before quickly rectifying the error. "I'm… Kagami Yukikaze. My twin sister there - though you can totally tell us apart now - is Hanami. You said you met our sister earlier, she's Fubuki."

"My name is Ryu Hisanaga," Ryu returned, bowing his head in greeting. "I wish our meeting could have been under better circumstances."

Kagami let a wistful smile grace her face as she rubbed her temples. "So do I…" she whispered, standing up, keeping the sheets draped across her body as she did so. "This is irreversible, right?" she asked, gesturing at her body.

Ryu closed his eyes and shook his head regretfully. "It… it changes you on a genetic level," he told her slowly as he reopened his eyes. "And with genetics, you can add things, but… as far as our knowledge knows, we cannot take away without killing somebody."

Kagami sagged, looking down at the floor. "Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later…" she muttered resignedly. "A lot of our female friends Thresholded and disappeared off with their Tamers, looks like it's our turn now."

Ryu gave her a sad smile. "Wish I could help you," he told her honestly. "But… I'm just a smith who lives in the middle of nowhere."

"You can't take us in?" Kagami paled.

Ryu blinked and looked up at her. "Wait… what?" he asked in confusion.

Kagami bit her lip nervously as she continued, "We… don't have a lot of male friends we're close to that we can trust with Taming us… and well, you came along, and you're certainly nice enough…" she rattled off. "I mean, you risked yourself to save us from those… Rocket bastards…"

Ryu blinked several times in response as he opened his mouth to respond only to close it again. Deep in the back of his mind he could hear what she would have told him to do. "Well… if that is what you really want," he said in response. "I… I would be willing to take you in."

Kagami's eyes lit up happily. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" she shouted, tackling Ryu exuberantly - how he managed to remain upright was a testament to his strength. "Though… I guess we have to go see our parents first, right?" she smiled weakly.

Ryu gave her a smile in return. "Pretty sure they wouldn't appreciate their daughters just up and disappearing with some random stranger," he agreed before he heard the noise of sirens approaching. "You might want to wake up your sister, it sounds like the authorities are approaching."

Hanami didn't exactly need waking up, she was twitching as the sirens got closer. With a groan, she clapped her hands to her ears and got up, looking around the room sleepily before her eyes locked onto Ryu. At that point, she looked down at herself, heaving another sigh of relief as she realized she was covered enough.

"Are you alright?" Ryu questioned ."It was a pretty nasty shock you took."

Hanami blushed, but nodded firmly. "I-I-I don't know how to r-r-repay you for s-saving us…" she stammered.

"Hanami, I signed us up for his harem," Kagami grinned.

The silverette froze as she turned to look at Ryu mechanically.

He shrugged in response. "She explained the situation you two are facing to me," he explained. "If you had someone else in mind, I completely understand."

"N-N-No!" Hanami got out, trying not to look at Ryu and look at him at the same time. "Umm… ano… it's just… I-I-I didn't e-e-e-expect to have to do t-t-t-t-that… so f-fast…" she was stammering even more than usual as her blush spread to her neck.

"Take as long as you need to get adjusted to it," he told her. "It's… it's going to take me some adjustment to get used to having people around again."

"Umm… w-w-what am I now?" Hanami whispered, looking herself over and getting a good feel of her new skin, not to mention her massively increased bust size - hell, she had to crane her head to see her feet now.

"A Milktit," Ryu responded. "Going to need to pick up the essentials for you…"

"M-M-Milkt-t-t-t-tit…" she whispered, going even paler as she looked down at her chest, and at the twin orbs bouncing on top of it, her bloated nipples visible even through the sheets covering her.

Ryu nodded in confirmation. "I'll, ah, let you and your sister handle the… ah… milkings," he told her.

"Ah… uh…" Hanami whimpered pitifully, looking between her smirking sister and Ryu. "Umm… I-I-I-I'd prefer if y-y-you d-did it, R-Ryu-kun…" her blush spread to her shoulders. "K-Kagami'll go o-overboard with it…"

Kagami pouted.

Ryu nodded in response. "Ah… alright then," he agreed as the sirens got closer. "You two ready?" he asked. "They're going to be asking a lot of questions."

"Honestly, no," Kagami shook her head with a weak smile, "Just… please be there, Ryu-kun. For support and all."

Hanami nodded her agreement.

Ryu gave them a reassuring smile. "Of course I will," he assured them as he stood up. "I promise I will."

---

The ensuing questioning had taken a good four hours of answering the same questions over and over again as they combed over the site, sending the many captured 'girls to the Pokegirl Center where their families would be contacted, the sole surviving member of the gang was sent to the PLC Headquarters for… questioning.

"Well, finally glad that's done with," Ryu muttered as he stood next to the twins who still were only clad in bedsheets.

"At least you didn't faint halfway through, Hanami," Kagami grinned.

Hanami just blushed.

"Honestly, couldn't even bring you some clothing… freaking idiots," Ryu muttered angrily.

"Hanami-nee, Kagami-nee!" a familiar voice called out.

Ryu looked up as the girl that had told him about the kidnapping - Fubuki - ran up to her sisters, throwing her arms around the two of them. "This is your sister I take it?" he asked the pair as they hugged their sister in return.

"Y-Yeah…" Hanami nodded, embracing her younger sister. The sibling relation was clear as day - from the borderline illegal proportions to their hair colour. Fubuki was still in her torn clothes from earlier, having been too worried about her sisters to get changed.

"Well, at least there was one kind of happy ending to this day," he said, more to himself than to the trio of sisters. "We really should get you three home though, so that you can get dressed at the very least."

"Problem with that, Ryu-kun, is that we got so big that we won't fit into any of our old clothes anymore," Kagami sighed.

"Ah, that… that would indeed be a problem," Ryu agreed. "Well, tell you what, let's go and get some essentials," he offered. "I should have enough to pay for you two."

"W-W-We can't let you do that…" Hanami protested. "A-At least let us p-pay for some of it…"

"I don't think you need to get much for me in any case," Kagami muttered, patting the bulb on her back. "And I'm having an odd urge to walk around starkers too…"

"Well, I'm sure your parents wouldn't want to walk around stark naked in the middle of a large city like this," Ryu returned dryly.

"Well, apparently I need as much exposure as possible for photosynthesis…" she muttered, running her hand down her green-skinned arm.

"Still I think it's best if you cover the important bits for now," Ryu commented as they began to make their way into the market area of the city. "So that your parents don't feel the need to try and protect their daughters' chasity."

"I'll be happy with just a bikini," Kagami grinned, holding on to Ryu's arm and pulling it into her cleavage.

"Kagami-nee is… a little shameless," Fubuki explained, scratching her head sheepishly.

"Just a little?" Ryu asked dryly with a raised eyebrow.

"Maybe very," the younger of the siblings sagged.

Ryu chuckled in response as they entered into the market area. "So, which store do you two want to go to?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Kagami immediately pointed at a lingerie store, much to her sisters' chagrin.

Ryu raised an eyebrow at her. "I'd like to not be immediately vivisected by your parents," he told her flatly.

Kagami pouted as Hanami raised a trembling finger to point at a more ordinary shop. "I-I just hope they have my size…"

"I'm sure we can find something for you," Ryu gently assured her, using the hand that Kagami was pressing against her bosom to pat Hanami on the head.

"But… they told me… I'd… k-keep filling up with m-m-milk…" Hanami ducked her head, pulling the sheet tighter around herself.

"Don't worry," Ryu told her soothingly. "We'll figure something out, besides, it's not like we can't… er… release the milk."

A puff of steam escaped from Hanami's ears comically and her head sank a little lower, even as they headed for the store. "T-Thank you…" she whispered.

"Don't worry about it," Ryu said in response. "It's quite the adjustment you're going through right now."

"We don't have much of a choice now, Hanami-nee," Fubuki patted her older sister's shoulder. "We'll just… have to learn to live with it. All of us."

Ryu gave her an encouraging smile as they came up to the store Hanami indicated. "Hopefully we can get what you need in here," he commented as he held the door open for the girls, allowing them to enter first.

Unsurprisingly, Kagami immediately made for the swimsuit section. The group could hear perverted giggles coming from that section a while later, although they pretended not to hear it. Hanami and Fubuki were content with browsing through the selection of blouses and skirts which thankfully did come in her size. The recently-thresholded Milktit let out a sigh of relief as she began browsing through the articles of clothing.

Ryu simply found a nearby seat where he could sit down, keeping a close eye on the trio, letting out a shaky sigh as he could feel his body shake. 'Overcharge still takes too much from me,' mused to himself as he tried to calm the shakes of the Magic Depletion. 'Didn't help I was using the Chameleon's Blessing for an extended period either…'

Fubuki leaned out from behind a clothes rack and just happened to catch sight of Ryu shaking slightly. Narrowing her eyes just a bit, she tentatively walked closer to the man. "What's wrong?" she inquired, clasping her hands behind her and leaning forward.

Ryu started slightly as Fubuki spoke, blinking several times before taking a breath to calm himself. "Ah, it's nothing, just Magic depletion," he told her as another minor tremor hit him.

"That's something, not nothing," Fubuki countered with a frown, taking a seat beside him and looking him over. "You really went that far to save my sisters…"

Ryu gave her a brief smile as he took another calming breath. "Losing people you love… and not having the strength to save them… I know that pain very well," he whispered quietly. "It's… it's something that I don't want others to feel…"

Fubuki grimaced - she had come too close to that. "What do you normally do, Ryu-san?" she queried, changing the subject as she realized the man wasn't quite comfortable with it either. "You don't feel like a soldier…"

"Ah, well, I'm actually a smith," Ryu told her with a grin. "Anything from swords to shields, I can forge it, and do some pretty creative enchantments too."

The silverette nodded understandingly. "Where do you live? I don't think I've heard of your work before - then again, I'm not as knowledgeable about combat-related things."

"Outside of Hakuma Town," Ryu answered. "It was my dad's place, but… he passed it off to me when he decided to go out adventuring again."

"That's not too far away," Fubuki smiled. "At least that means my parents won't be too worried about my sisters being too far away to get in touch with."

Ryu nodded as the tremors calmed once again and he let out a relieved breath. "I suppose it would be natural for them to be worried," he agreed. "Their two daughters going off with a stranger they don't know…"

Fubuki was silent for a few moments. "Actually…" she trailed off and started fidgeting. "C-Can we make it three?" she blushed.

Ryu paused as he blinked several times. "I'm sorry?" he questioned. "Did you want to make sure your sisters would be alright?"

Fubuki ducked her head, completely caught out. "Yeah… that and I think I'll be Thresholding soon…"

"A-ah," Ryu managed to get out in response. "And you face the same problem as your sisters with no one you can trust, right?"

She nodded demurely. "My family actually has a strong Yuki-Onna lineage by the way…" she admitted. "I got really confused when I saw Hanami-nee turning into a Milktit and Kagami-nee into an Ivywhore."

"I think Team Rocket was experimenting with forcing a specific threshold," Ryu told her quietly. "I mean, at this point we all have some kind of Pokegirl genetic marker for any type really."

"Yuki-Onna are stronger in my line than anything else," Fubuki sighed. "My mother was one, my grandmother and great-grandmother were also Yuki-Onna. It's almost a family tradition."

Ryu chuckled slightly. "Well, I suppose there could be worse things," he commented idly. "Besides, you are what you make of yourself in the end."

"It's just… my parents have told me how high Yuki-Onna libido is," she blushed. "I'm… worried I'll end up doing something crazy looking for a proper Taming."

"Ah… that's… well I can't say I understand how you feel to be honest," Ryu admitted with a skeptical look. "But I am willing to help you when you need it."

Fubuki offered him a small smile. "Help my sisters first," she indicated Hanami, who was trying to pick between two dresses, and Kagami, who was strutting over to them wearing a black bikini. "They need it more right now."

"I suppose you're right," Ryu agreed as Kagami came up to them. "Made your choice I see, do you need anything else?"

"You're bringing me to some specialty shops to get something raunchier in the future," Kagami declared, stopping in front of Ryu with a devious smile. "This is the most revealing one I could find."

Ryu let out a small sigh as he shot Fubuki a dry look before looking back up to Kagami. "If that's what you really want," he relented. "Honestly, I fear what would have happened if you thresholded as a Soixante-neuf."

"Walking around with an Aura of Sex at full blast isn't quite my thing," Kagami shook her head with a chuckle. "Sounds like fun though."

Ryu gave her a dry look. "Yeah, I don't think we need to start a city wide orgy," he said blandly. "The authorities tend to frown on it when it's finished."

"I was just kidding!" Kagami stuck out her tongue. "Still, I had actually been hoping to become a Tamer in the future, rather than a Pokegirl myself…"

"Yeah? What would you have done? League Challenge? Research Assistant?" Ryu questioned curiously.

"League Challenge for sure. I'm not the type to sit in a lab staring at computers all day long," she said, even as she took Ryu's other side on the seat.

Ryu chuckled in response. "Yeah, well, there are some badass professors out there," he commented with a wry grin. "I hear that there's only a single Professor and his partner out at the Everest Dragon Pokegirl Reserve."

"Still not quite what I'd like to live out my life doing," she grinned, casting a glance over at Hanami. "Hanami on the other hand had that idea, but it's not my place to explain her dream."

Ryu raised a curious eyebrow, but didn't push the subject. "Well, honestly, I don't think I will be doing very much in terms of travelling," he admitted. "I've only really left to either come here to sell some wares, or to go out and do some mining myself."

Kagami's smile drooped slightly. "Well… I suppose we can have fun during the mining trips…" she scratched her head. "Would you have preferred to take on a Rock or Ground-type Pokegirl instead, to help with the mining?"

"I have a good friend in the mining guilds that I hire when I need to do excavations," Ryu explained. "My role is actually more of finding the mineral veins than digging them."

Kagami nodded in understanding. "I'm no geologist, so I won't ask about the details," she muttered, glancing over at Hanami again. She was now agonizing between four different sets of clothing laid out before her. "Might want to go help her out, Ryu-kun."

Ryu rose an eyebrow, but complied with her request as he pushed off the chair he was sitting on and headed over to Hanami. "Having trouble deciding, Hanami?" Ryu asked curiously as he stood next to her, looking over her choices.

"Ah…" Hanami trailed off, blushing as she stared at a white dress with a low neckline and puffy sleeves, before holding up a sleeveless pale blue one with a frilly skirt. Her other two choices were a cropped pale blue blouse with a low neckline matched with black hot pants, and a bikini like her twin's.

"Ah," Ryu responded, tilting his head as he tried to picture her in each one. "What is it you like about each one?"

"Umm… I don't know…" she whispered, "I like all of them, but I can't get them all…"

"Why not?" Ryu questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I don't mind paying for them."

Hanami stared, mouth agape at Ryu. "L-Like I said, we c-can't let you pay for e-e-everything…" she protested.

Ryu waved her off in response as he started to gather the outfits for her. "Hanami, people go out of their way to go to the middle of nowhere just to buy my stuff, I ain't exactly strapped for cash."

Hanami was protesting all the way to the cashier, where she finally gave up in defeat after she caught a glimpse of the inside of his wallet.

Ryu chuckled at her downcast look. "How about you can pay for lunch when we head back to my place," he offered her. "I know a great cafe in Hakuma Town."

Her eyes brightened up at the chance to repay the man, and she nodded enthusiastically. "Better yet, I'll cook for you!" she declared.

Off to the side, Fubuki and Kagami started drooling visibly.

Ryu, unaware of the sisters' response gave her a smile of encouragement. "That sounds good, so, which one of these did you want to wear out?" he asked as the cashier bagged the purchases.

Hanami quickly picked her first choice - the white dress with the puffy sleeves and vanished into the changing room.

"Well, that was a quicker choice," Ryu mulled as Hanami vanished. "Are you sure you don't need anything, Fubuki?"

"Unlike my sisters I didn't… grow, and I still have clothes at home that can fit," Fubuki glanced sideways at Kagami's bust with a blush, before snapping her eyes back to Ryu.

"Was that a hint of envy I just saw, Fubuki…?" Kagami smirked, having caught the glance. "You know as an Ivywhore I can make Bloom Powder now, right?"

Fubuki coughed softly and ignored her older sister. "A-Anyway, I'll be alright."

Ryu chuckled as he nodded. "If you're sure," he looked over to the dressing room as Hanami stepped out, running his eyes over her. "That look suits you."

A puff of steam escaped Hanami's ears and the almost permanent blush she sported spread to her neck again. "T-T-Thanks…" she whispered shyly.

Ryu gave her a smile. "Well, are all of you ready?" he asked as he picked up the bags filled with their purchases. "Because if I'm going to get grilled by your parents, I'd rather get it done and over with."

"What about your shop?" Fubuki was suddenly reminded of the stall that Ryu had left abandoned in his rush to rescue her sisters. "I didn't touch anything, it's all still out on display…"

Ryu blinked, before frowning. "Well, I better check on it I suppose, hopefully security has been keeping an eye on it," he said grimly. "I hope this isn't my dad's Retarded Luck curse kicking in."

"Ah, you're Mr. Hisanaga correct?" a young looking security guard questioned as Ryu and the girls approached his stall. "The Captain had me watch over your stall for you until you returned."

---

"Thank you, officer," Ryu said in relief. "I was worried to come back to find all my stock missing."

The security officer saluted him. "No worries, sir, if you'll excuse me," he jogged off quickly, obviously heading to the security office as Ryu began to look through his wares.

"Thankfully, nothing's missing," Ryu breathed out in relief as he finished looking through his wares. "At least the security around here is good."

"Ooh, sharp stuff, pointy stuff, slashy stuff, smashy stuff…" Kagami murmured, looking through the array of stuff on display.

"Don't forget the armor and shields," Ryu pointed out absently as he began closing up his stall, setting the security field on and keying it to himself. "Those can be just as hard to make."

"Tanky stuff," the Ivywhore added as an afterthought, clearly more infatuated with the weapons.

"I don't think I'm up for f-fighting…" Hanami whispered, shying away from the weapons.

Ryu gave her an assuring smile. "Not everyone is," he agreed. "Sometimes, we need someone to patch us up."

"Y-Y-You mean my h-healing m-m-m-m…" the Milktit stammered, looking down at her chest.

Ryu blinked before realizing what he said. "Ah, right, that," he muttered, grimacing to himself. "Sorry bout that, but I won't lie, it will end up being helpful."

"N-No, it's alright… I-I guess it's only n-normal since I'm a P-P-Pokegirl now…" Hanami sighed, looking around the stall. "C-Can we help carry some of this?"

"Don't worry, these were designed to be left overnight," Ryu assured her with a smile as he finished locking down the stall. "If someone tries to grab something with the security field enabled, they get zapped and security is alerted."

Kagami hurriedly recoiled from the sword she had been studying as if stung.

Ryu chuckled in response. "I haven't activated it yet," he assured her before looking over to Hanami. "And Hanami, you're not just a Pokegirl, you're someone with some special talents."

Hanami gaped at Ryu for several moments before her brain finally restarted. "T-Thanks… I seem to be s-saying that a lot l-lately…"

"Well, with an unknown future ahead of you, I suppose it's understandable to be worried," he commented, a sad look on his face. "After all, not all Tamers out there are kind ones…"

"Well, the Tamer that attracted our girls' attention is definitely a reputable one at least…"

Ryu paused from where he was working on securing his container as he tilted his head. "Hanami, your parents are standing right behind me, aren't they?" he questioned the silverette Milktit.

Hanami nodded as she ducked behind Kagami for cover.

"Look, I know you're not at fault for this mess, girls…" a man with short black hair clad in a robe sighed. "And neither are you, Hisanaga-kun."

Ryu let out a sigh as he stood up and dusted off his hands before turning to face the parents of the girls with him. "Sorry about the delay in meeting you," he offered. "Needed to get them some clothing and make sure that my wares were secured."

"We're not exactly strangers, Hisanaga-kun…" the man chuckled. "There's a very good reason Fubuki ran here when the twins were kidnapped, she was looking for help from me. Akihiro Yukikaze, and this is my wife Setsuna Yukikaze."

The silver-haired woman standing beside the man was quite clearly where the sisters' genes had come from if the air of ethereal beauty around her and her proportions were any indication. She flashed a bright smile at Ryu, stepping forward to clasp his hand between hers. "I've heard a lot about you, Hisanaga-kun. My husband always complains about how you steal all his business away from him."

"Oi, I never said that!" Akihiro protested. "Besides, we sell completely different wares!"

"Ah, a pleasure to meet you both," Ryu said as he shook Setsuna's hand. "I hope I didn't cause you too much worry."

"All the worry was caused by Team Rocket, you were the one who relieved us of all of it," Setsuna smiled.

Ryu gave them a wry grin in return. "Well, I'm glad you're both understanding of the situation," he commented in relief. "And of your daughter's choice to… ah… join me?"

"They're old enough to make their own decisions, though my dear might insist otherwise…" Setsuna shot a glare at Akihiro, who had been about to rush Ryu after what he said. A cold mist filled the area, and a… floating Noh mask with glowing ice blue eyes appeared right in front of him, shutting him down thoroughly.

"Hunh… and here I thought only Akira could do that," Ryu said aloud, his thoughts lost in a memory.

Kagami was cowering behind Ryu as their mother unleashed the… thing on their father. "A-A-Anything but that!"

Hanami and Fubuki, oddly enough, seemed completely unaffected by it as they sighed at their parents' antics.

"All I ask…" Setsuna abruptly formed a second mask to stare at Ryu icily, as she performed a ladylike chuckle with a hand over her mouth. "… is that you take care of our girls, treat them nicely."

Ryu gave her a calm smile. "Only when I am dead, will harm come to them," he promised. "On that you can have no doubt."

"Ara…" Setsuna paused, realising that the other man was completely unaffected by her aura of doom. Brushing it off, she continued, "It seems our daughters have found themselves quite the man…"

Ryu chuckled weakly in response. "Not really, I… just don't want to be responsible for more deaths," he responded with a shake of his head. "Anyways, I'll be in town for a bit, I haven't even started selling my wares yet."

"Well, I'm sure you'll be sold out before lo…" Setsuna trailed off as she caught sight of a katana on the display stand, sitting in a blue sheath with white snowflakes adorning it. "Oh my."

"Ah, I see Kosetsu(Snowfall) caught your eye," Ryu commented as he picked up the Katana and pulled it free of the sheath, allowing her to examine the blade.

Setsuna accepted the blade, looking on it reverently as she ran her finger across the length of the blade. As she did, brushing across snowflake-shaped imprints on the surface that lit up with a faint white glow upon being touched. "This is a fine… piece of craftsmanship, Hisanaga-kun," she whispered.

"Hey, don't get bribed now…" Akihiro grumbled, folding his arms only to freeze as another Noh mask joined the first one.

"While… I would love to wield this, I trained with a naginata instead of a katana," Setsuna continued, ignoring her husband as she cast a sideways glance at Fubuki. "It's a beautiful weapon."

Ryu nodded his head in thanks as he accepted the weapon back and placed it back on the stall. "Then perhaps this is more to your liking," Ryu offered as he rummaged through his container and pulled out a naginata for her to look over.

Setsuna smiled, taking the naginata and giving it a few test swings clear away from the group. "It doesn't sing to me like Kosetsu does, but nonetheless it's still a nice piece of work," she admitted. "Better than my old naginata, definitely. That being said… may I reserve Kosetsu for my youngest?"

Fubuki stared at her mother, wide-eyed.

Ryu blinked in response, a small smile gracing his features. "How could I say no," he retorted as he picked up the katana once more and held it out for Fubuki. "Here," he said to the youngest silverette. "If you're not confident with a sword, I should be able to teach you the basics at least."

"W-Wait, just like that?" Fubuki gaped, hesitating as she reached for the katana.

Ryu shrugged in response. "It's alright," he told her. "I am a firm believer of the weapon choosing its wielder."

"B-But it chose okaa-san, not m-" Fubuki's eyes widened as she finally took hold of the weapon and a cold mist spread out from around it, and she felt a rush of energy.

Ryu let out a hum as he studied her carefully. "Don't think I've seen a reaction like that before," he commented curiously. "At least… not that quickly."

Fubuki blushed as she gripped the sheath and held it at her side. Her mother let out a tinkling laugh and kneeled to meet her at eye level. "The smith and the weapon have spoken, Fubuki-chan. It's yours."

"W-We can't just accept it like that… " Akihiro protested. "How much for it?"

Ryu waved his hand. "No charge," he assured. "But, I would be most grateful if you kept an ear out for new ore discoveries."

"B-B-But…" Akihiro trailed off, before heaving a resigned sigh. "Alright, news on ore it is…"

Fubuki suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Ryu. "I… I… this katana is priceless, Ryu-kun," she whispered. "Thanks so much…"

Ryu simply smiled in return, his own arms wrapping around her. "Ah, it's alright," he assured her. "Just make sure it was worth nearly getting frostbite for."

"E-Eh?" Fubuki blinked a few times, before holding up Kosetsu and looking at it to find out it was still radiating a cold mist. "Ooops?"

"Ah, no, it was during the forging process," Ryu explained. "It was that ore they found in the Arctic, uh, Reito-shin they called it I think."

"Never thought I'd hear the words forging and frostbite going together," Kagami remarked.

"Neither did I, hence nearly getting it," Ryu returned, "It's the oddest thing, you can melt the ore in a volcano, but… it's still nearly absolute zero when hardened."

"Well, as much as I'd love to stand here and chat…" Akihiro cast a disapproving look at Fubuki, who was still in her tattered clothing before going on, "…we should adjourn to our house first, let the girls rest. We have a guest room, so you won't need to spend anything on an inn room, Hisanaga-kun."

"Ah, thank you, I am grateful for your hospitality," Ryu said formally. "And I am in need of sleep, today was… taxing on my magic reserves."

"Don't keep my daughters waiting on their first Taming too long," Setsuna smiled cheekily.

"Okaa-san!" Hanami yelped indignantly.

Ryu chuckled himself in response. "Well, I'm not that tired," he told her dryly. "Again though, thank you for your hospitality."

"Ara ara… It's a good thing we soundproofed the guest room…" Setsuna giggled.

"I didn't hear any of this, no I didn't," Akihiro muttered, clapping his hands over his ears. "I did not just hear my son-in-law talking about screwing my daughters in my own house."

Ryu chuckled again in response. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, eventually I'll be going through the same thing," he offered the father.

"What thing?" Akihiro looked at Ryu, quite clearly in denial judging by the scrunched up look on his face.

"Well, if that's what makes you happy," Ryu muttered as he shook his head and activated his stall's security.

"It's not making me happy," the disgruntled Yukikaze patriarch grumbled. "I fully expect you to keep any future Tamings in your own house, I don't need to hear about my daughters' sex lives."

"Don't worry about missing out, Aki-koi…" Setsuna swept over to Akihiro, cupping his cheeks and planting a wet one right on his lips. "I'm still up for it… a~ny~time~"

Akihiro's eyes misted over.

"We don't need to hear that!" their daughters yelled out in unison.

"Just like he doesn't need to hear about us," Ryu pointed out with a chuckled as the group began to walk. "A very interesting family you are."

"S-She is a Yuki-Onna after all…" Akihiro groaned as he regained his mental faculties. "Seductresses, the lot of them."

"And you love me for it, ufufufu~" Setsuna giggled, pulling his arm into her bosom.

"You're going to give me quite a bit of trouble in the future, aren't you?" Ryu asked Fubuki teasingly.

"Err…" Fubuki was completely speechless, before she ducked her head and buried it in Ryu's back. "Don't tease me like that…" she whimpered.

The blacksmith let out a full blown laugh in response. "It's alright Fubuki," he assured her. "It makes life interesting!"

"Oho…?" Kagami smirked from beside him, in a similar pose as her mother with his arm buried in her cleavage. "Say, who's going to be the Alpha then?"

Ryu rose an eyebrow. "Honestly, I don't know," he admitted. "You three are sisters anyways, is there really a need for an Alpha right now?"

Hanami looked thoughtful for a moment before she shook her head.

"Besides, I ain't really looking to expand this harem to be honest," Ryu explained. "Again, I really don't see the need."

"Well, I can live with that," Kagami grinned, tightening her grip. "It means the three of us get to monopolize you!"

Ryu snorted, rolling his eyes in response. "Divines save my soul," he announced dramatically.

"I'm not even a Pokegirl yet though…" Fubuki murmured.

Ryu scratched the back of his head thoughtfully. "Well, how old are you?" he asked, looking slightly nervous.

"16," Fubuki replied, blushing as she looked down at her impressive bust. "I know, I don't look 16…"

"Well - and don't take this the wrong way, and sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying - but you are of legal age," Ryu offered hesitantly.

"Legal age for what?" Fubuki tilted her head sideways.

"Well… sex," Ryu finally said bluntly. "If you wanted to, anyways."

The sole remaining human girl of the family flinched and blushed. "I-I-I'll think about it."

Ryu nodded. "Sorry if it seems like I'm pushing," he told her apologetically. "I… have a hard time reading between the lines, so to speak."

"It's alright… but…" Fubuki paused. "I wonder if it'd be better for me to lose my virginity as a human or as a Pokegirl?" she mused.

"I… honestly can't say because I've never had virginity like you do," Ryu admitted plainly.

Fubuki was thoughtful for several moments. "I… Ryu-kun, let's do it tonight," she finally said resolutely.

"Ooh, our little Fubuki is growing up…" Kagami teased.

Ryu ignored the teasing from Kagami as he searched Fubuki's face before nodding. "If that is what you want," he agreed. "Then, I guess we have a busy night ahead of us."

---

Ryu hummed contemplatively to himself as he reclined on the bed of the Yukikaze guest room, linking his hands behind his head as he waited for the three sisters who had told him that they needed to 'ready' themselves.

Or at least Kagami did, Hanami and Fubuki had both blushed and stuttered something out in embarrassment.

'It's been awhile since I've last been intimate with someone,' he mused to himself as he casted a look over towards his katana that rested next to the bedroom door, Kosetsu sitting next to it. 'I think you'd have liked these girls… Akira…'

"Oh, you two…" Kagami huffed from outside the room. "Don't keep him waiting!"

"B-B-B-B-But…" Hanami stuttered.

"No buts! Get in there!" her twin shouted as the door opened and the two less excitable girls were unceremoniously pushed into the room, landing flat on their faces. Kagami stepped in behind them, closing and locking the door as she gave Ryu a saucy grin.

The twins were in their bikinis from earlier, causing the smith to suck in a gulp of air as he caught sight of their smooth, almost completely bared skin. Fubuki herself was in a more reserved slightly transparent dress, teasing him with a view of the lacy white set of underwear beneath while not revealing too much at the same time.

"You three…" Ryu trailed off as he couldn't help but stare at the three of them. "Just… wow… you look stunning…"

"We'd better be, after all that's happened today!" Kagami declared proudly, even as sharp peaks began to form on the tips of her magnificent orbs.

Hanami and Fubuki blushed as they walked up to the bed - luckily it was a king-size bed with enough room for all of them, with a bit of squeezing. Not that they minded that.

Ryu took in a deep breath as he stood up before them, clad in a pair of boxers and an undershirt. "So… how do you three want to do this?" he asked them gently, his eyes studying their every curve.

The three sisters looked between each other for a moment, before Kagami let out a groan. "Do I need to Lust Dust you two before you get going?"

The other two began spluttering.

Ryu chuckled lightly at Kagami's question. "I'll be honest here, I've only ever had sex with a single partner before, so…" he admitted. "Whatever you three feel comfortable with, I'll do my best to oblige."

"W-Well… we're not s-s-sure how to start…" Hanami blushed.

"To heck with it!" Kagami smacked her forehead before she reached for the bulb on her back, grabbed a handful of pink, glittering powder, and showered her two sisters with it.

Hanami and Fubuki blinked, completely caught off guard by the attack as they suddenly found themselves feeling really hot inside. And when they turned back to Ryu, they gasped at the prime example of masculinity before them - toned, very obvious muscles developed from years of working in a forge. Unbidden, their eyes fell on the tent in his boxers - try as they might, they couldn't look away from it.

Ryu turned a raised eyebrow to an impishly grinning Kagami before chuckling and began to divest himself of his undershirt, showing off the rest of his chest to the sisters. "So… who's first?" he asked them with a grin. "Or should I choose?"

"Umm…" Hanami whispered, sweating profusely as she stepped forward. Apparently the Lust Dust wasn't quite enough to override her usual shyness. "C-C-C-C-Can you d-d-do m-m-me first…?"

Kagami rolled her eyes and reached back to her bulb again.

Another helping of Lust Dust showered over the recently-christened Milktit and she sucked in another breath as liquid began to trail down her thighs. "S-S-Sorry!" she yelled as she completely lost herself to the haze and jumped onto Ryu.

Ryu merely grinned as he caught her, his arms wrapping around her body to pull her tight against him, her breasts pressing up against his chest tightly as he captured her lips with his own in a deep kiss.

"Mmmm… my f-first kiss…" she broke off for a short moment to whisper before diving back in again, attacking his tongue with hers.

Ryu could feel himself harden as he returned the kiss, his tongue meeting hers as they wrapped around each other, his hands wandering across her body before coming to a rest on her soft pillowing buttox, gripping it tightly in his hands as he used his grip to pulled her tightly against his body. "I hope you're ready, because I am rather… pent up."

"F-For you, Ryu-kun, I-I'm always ready…" Hanami smiled saucily, the Lust Dust having completely overriden her logical mind.

"Good," Ryu breathed heavily as his eyes became clouded with lust. He then gently pushed Hanami back onto the bed, placing himself above her as he quickly divested her of her bikini top, revealing the creamy skin of her breasts, and the hardened nubs of her nipples that were beginning to leak her milk. "First though, a sampling I think," he declared before latching a mouth over one of her nipples and began to suck on it.

"Gah!" Hanami yelped and almost came right then and there - her breasts were so much more sensitive as a Pokegirl now! She forced herself to hold it in, although she was straining from the effort as the warmth spread through her body, causing the other nipple to begin leaking as well. "I-I'm leaking… milk…" she whimpered.

"K-K-Kagami-nee… I-I-I can't take it… anymore…" Fubuki whispered, leaning weakly against her older sister.

"Fubuki… just get in there," Kagami said shortly, before she grabbed hold of her younger sister and pushed her all the way to the bed. "I don't mind going last." She was actually putting on a strong front, forcing herself to hold back from just taking everything off and jumping Ryu as she watched Hanami make love to him. She was already wet down below, damn it!

"C-Can I join in?" Fubuki asked from beside Ryu.

Ryu released Hanami's breast and gave her a grin. "I don't see why not," he told her. "She does have another breast," he flashed a look towards the flustered looking Kagami. "Why don't you join her, I have another… leak to plug after all."

"Yay!" Kagami cheered as she joined in, hopping onto the bed and beginning to tug on his boxers.

Fubuki glanced at Hanami, who smiled back. "T-T-Then… itadakimasu…" she said as she shifted to get a more comfortable position under the older Yukikaze and began to suck gently on her free nipple.

Hanami let out a cry of pleasure and arched her back, her control failing for a moment as her love juices drenched Ryu's waist. "T-This feels so good!" she moaned sensually.

Ryu grinned as he continued to suckle on her breast alongside of Fubuki, moaning as he felt Kagami's lips brush against his skin in various places. His hands began to move again, one slipped under Fubuki's dress as the other travelled down Kagami's spine before they each reached the respective sister's covered pussy and ran a finger along the edge of the wet spots forming on the cloths.

"Grk," Fubuki let out a strangled sound on contact, clamping down on Hanami's nipple harder and eliciting a moan of pleasure from the older girl. Her eyes widened as her breasts began to throb, and wet patches appeared on the clothes over the twin peaks…

"Mm, Milktit milk really does work fast," Ryu said as he released Hanami's nipple, his hands continuing their teasing of Fubuki and Kagami's pussies. "You yourself are already lactating."

"Need help getting out of that dress…?" Kagami stopped kissing up Ryu's thighs as she gained a sudden, mischievous glint to her eyes.

Fubuki nodded unconsciously before she caught herself and realized what her older sister was planning. "Oh no, Kagami-nee! D-Don't!" she protested.

"Ryu-kun, how big do you want my sisters to go?" Kagami ignored her younger sister's pleas as she grinned at their Tamer.

"Ah, bloom powder, you mean?" Ryu asked with a grin. "Hmm, why don't you make Fubuki 'burst' out of her restraints?"

"Big enough, then, and Hanami's so close she's getting it as well," Kagami laughed as she stood back for a moment before tossing a glittering white powder over the group. "Bombs away!" she cheered. "I kind of wish it'd affect myself as well though."

"No!" Fubuki shouted as the powder settled over them. It was too late - her eyes widened as her breasts heated up and began to slowly fill out, straining against her bra and dress. "So… tight…" she moaned.

Hanami, already baring her breasts, had no such restraints as her breasts grew out, resting on top of Ryu's chest. She let out a pleasured moan as she rested her head on top of them, giggling as they continued to leak all over Ryu and Fubuki.

Ryu grinned as he stepped up his teasing of Fubuki and Kagami by pushing the obstructions to the side to directly stimulate their leaking entrances, not quite pushing his finger inside of them yet as he nipped at Hanami's skin.

A ripping sound came from beside him as Fubuki finally burst out of her clothes, gargantuan H-cup orbs jiggling on her chest still leaking all over themselves from the effects of Milktit milk. She groaned as she tried to wrap her arms around them, only to completely fail due to their bulk. "Kagami-nee! They're too big! But… they feel so good…"

Hanami was topping out a full size larger, and was still giggling as her soft, milk-filled breasts practically smothered her lover's chest. Then she caught sight of her younger sister's assets and mesmerized, she began to reach for them.

"I think I underestimated the effects!" a completely unrepentant Kagami grinned, nudging her twin aside as she laid her eyes on the grand prize - a meaty shaft standing at attention, several inches long. Her eyes glazed over at the sight. "Ryu-kun… this makes me wonder if bloom powder actually affects guys or not!"

Ryu snorted and raised an eyebrow as he looked at himself. "Nope, no breasts," he commented. "And it is still the same size too, seeing as I inhaled some earlier, I think that is proven."

"Well, I'm not even sure if I can take that in…" Kagami muttered, reaching out for it with her tongue.

"Hyaaa!" Fubuki yelped as Hanami caught one of her breasts in her hands and gently tugged it towards her mouth, before she latched onto the nipple with her mouth and began sucking. "H-Hanami-nee!?"

"You taste nice… Fubuki…" Hanami giggled, even as she pushed the other nipple towards Ryu's mouth.

Ryu quickly captured it with his mouth and gave it a long suck, drinking her milk as he moaned from the feeling of Kagami's tongue on his rod. "Yum," he declared as he released Fubuki's nipple.

Fubuki let out a strangled cry of pleasure at the attention being lavished on her twin mounds, while Kagami grinned and brought her breasts to bear around not-so-little Ryu, even while she dove in with her mouth open. She didn't manage to fit all of it into her throat, but she came quite close although she had to resist her gag reflex.

"I-Is my milk better… or Fubuki's…?" Hanami panted,

Ryu had to focus on Hanami's words in order to respond, Kagami's attention to his member was quite the distraction as he let out a groan. "Not sure, I'll need to do some extensive sampling to be certain," he replied with a grin as he began to slowly slip a finger into their pussies.

"Ahn~" Fubuki and Hanami moaned at the penetration, almost losing their holds on themselves just from the touch.

Kagami smirked around Ryu's shaft and began pumping her mouth up and down along its considerable length.

Ryu let out a low moan of pleasure as he slowly pumped his fingers in and out of the two sisters. "Dear God," he breathed out. "Kagami your mouth feels so good…"

Kagami stopped for a moment to chirp, "It had better feel good!"

"R-Ryu-kun, I feel… weird…" Fubuki whimpered.

Ryu grinned a bit as he panted. "Just… getting started here," he announced as he slowly slid a second finger into the two silverettes and moved his hand so that he could use his thumb to slowly circle their clits.

The two girls let out loud gasps as they lost all remaining strength. Hanami released her younger sister's nipple and crumpled onto Ryu weakly, while Fubuki finally lost herself completely to the Lust Dust and let out an uncharacteristic giggle.

Ryu kept up his 'attack' on the pair as he leaned his head back with another moan. "Kagami… I'm going to be cumming soon," he warned the recently transformed girl.

Kagami increased her speed as she began squeezing her breasts around his shaft using her hands.

"M-Me too…" Hanami gasped.

"The w-weird feeling's getting worse… but so good…" Fubuki whispered.

Ryu continued to pant as he could feel himself getting close to the bursting point, but he focused himself on the two girls he was pleasuring as he increased the speed of his fingers and added some a bit more pressure in the sensitive nubs. "Cum," he whispered. "Cum for me as I cum for you."

The two shyer girls obeyed as they let out twin cries of pleasure, their minds drawing blanks as all they could focus on were Ryu's fingers inside them. "It's… coming out!" they moaned as their love juices came flooding out of their soft lower lips, completely drenching Ryu's hands.

"I'm cumming, Kagami!" Ryu called out as he felt his seed rush out of his member and straight into Kagami's waiting mouth.

Kagami swallowed as much of it as she could, but she eventually lost it and released Ryu's shaft, falling back onto the bed and coughing as he continued to spray his seed out over her.

"Milktit…" Hanami whispered, looking up at Ryu lovingly, before she froze in panic. "Milktit!?"

Ryu chuckled slightly. "Sounds like you're in your Taming Shock," he commented with a wry grin. "It's kinda cute actually."

"Milktit! M-M-Milktit!" Hanami blushed as she began hitting Ryu's chest weakly.

"It is pretty cute…" Kagami grinned, recovering from her coughing fit as she stood up and climbed onto Ryu. "So, shall we move on to the real stuff?" she smirked as she reached for her lower slit and stretched it open.

Ryu grinned as her as he planted his hands on her hips, silently marvelling at their smooth texture as he rubbed the. "Oh, I am planning on it," he announced. "Because that looks like a nice, tight and wet hole to sow my seed in."

"Milktit…" Hanami stared at Ryu's shaft with undisguised lust.

"You two have cum already," Ryu stated plainly. "Let Kagami have some fun too."

"Milktit!" Hanami pointed at her sopping wet lower entrance, before she put up her hands and poked a finger against her palm on her other hand, indicating that he hadn't actually taken her virginity yet.

"M-Me too…" Fubuki groaned, trying to catch her breath.

"Don't worry, I will," he assured the two of them. "I might have some magical depletion, but I think I can last a few rounds tonight."

"Milktit!" a much more cheerful Hanami moved aside, off Ryu with some difficulty owing to her massive jugs, which were still leaking milk.

Her twin sister suddenly gained a glint to her eyes as she stopped Hanami. "I think I need some of that…" she grinned before pulling up one of her nipples and beginning to suck on it even as she lowered herself carefully onto Ryu's shaft.

Ryu gave her a sly grin as he helped her ease herself down onto him. "A harem of large chested girls that are all leaking milk?" he questioned rhetorically. "What man would say no? Maybe I could use your milk for morning cereal?"

"Oooh, sounds like fun," Kagami released a moaning Hanami's nipple for a while. "Have Hanami do it though. I don't think we'll mind… lactating in the morning, though we'd have to go completely topless or ruin a few good clothes."

Ryu chuckled in response as he held her easily over his throbbing rod. "Are you ready?" he asked her. "'Cause once we start for real, I don't really stop."

Kagami nodded, still busy milking Hanami even as tiny droplets of her own began to form on her peaks.

Ryu grinned as he suddenly pushed his hips up, piercing Kagami's virginity and pushed into her tight canal. "Virgin tight," he panted out, a possessive grin spreading over his lips. "And all mine."

"Gah…" Kagami blinked back a few tears from the pain as she released her twin sister, allowing her to fall back to the bed still moaning. Catching Ryu's concerned look, the Ivywhore gave him a soft smile. "I'm fine, honest."

Ryu returned her smile with a nod as he began to rock his hips into hers. "Alright, fair warning though… I get intense when taming," he told her softly.

"Hey, it's my first time, go easy on me," Kagami suddenly started feeling a little fearful.

"I'm holding myself back for you," he assured her, flashing a small grin. "But, after the first time… I can't promise much…"

"That's fine, I'll get used to you sooner or later," she grinned as she cupped her breasts, feeling the Milktit milk take effect. "Whoa, it… works," she moaned, starting to feel herself leaking.

Ryu sat up, his arms cupping around her back to hold her steady from the sudden shift as he grinned at her. "I think I'll have a taste of those," he announced to her before capturing one of her nipples inside of his mouth.

"Don't think mine tastes anywhere near as good as my sister's, but alright," Kagami glanced over at Hanami. "I swear that's the best milk I've ever tasted in my life."

Ryu grinned at her as he pulled back from her breast a bit. "Each is unique with their own flavor," he told her assuringly as he shifted his hips to hit a new spot inside of her. "Yours has an almost… basil quality to it."

Kagami rolled her eyes. "Plant-type. Of course… I bet when Fubuki Thresholds, her milk's going to be ice-cold right out of her teats."

"H-Hey, Kagami-nee!" Fubuki protested.

Ryu quirked his lips at Kagami in response. "How are you feeling, down there?" he asked her. "Any more pain?"

"I'm fine," Kagami grinned. "Just get started and I'll forget about it sooner or later."

Ryu smirked at her before he pushed her onto her back. "Alright then, if you're sure," he said, right before he pressed his lips into hers in a fierce his, pushing his hips into her with a bit more force.

Kagami fought right back with her tongue, pushing it into his mouth and battling against his own. She was no match for the more experienced male, however. A muffled moan came out of her throat, although it switched to an uncomfortable groan soon enough as she gestured behind her at her bulb compressed between her body and the bed.

Ryu understood quickly as he switched them so that he was on his back. "Ride me as hard as you want to," he whispered to her huskily as their lips separated.

Kagami grinned saucily as she began sliding up and down his shaft, her movements growing more vigorous as she went on until her breasts began bouncing wildly on her chest and spraying milk everywhere. "Doing myself… has nothing on this!" she laughed.

Ryu grinned in response as he captured her breasts with his hands and slowly began to knead them. "Ah, and you can't do things like this, can you?" he questioned, seconds before leaning up to capture one of her nipples with his mouth to continue drinking her milk.

"Uhuh…" Kagami nodded as an idea struck her. "Say, I haven't tasted it myself before…" she said slyly.

Ryu grinned around her nipple before taking in a full mouthful and separated without swallowing it. Fully sitting up he grinned with his full mouth and leaned into her and pressed his lips up against her, waiting for her to separate them.

Kagami kissed him again, letting out an erotic moan as she sampled her own fluids, lapping it up from inside Ryu's mouth. When she separated, she licked a bit of it off her lips. "You're right… it does have a basil taste to it," she muttered in slight surprise..

Ryu panted as he smiled at her. "Dear god, I think I might cum soon," he told her. "Your walls are just so tight, and it's squeezing me like no tomorrow."

"Just do it!" Kagami encouraged with a throaty moan. "Do me until I go into Taming Shock! I'm close too!"

Ryu nodded as he began to press his hips against her with more force, grunts escaping from his lips as they brought each other closer to the edge, he could even feel himself start to press against her cervix deep inside of her. "I want to paint your insides white," he told her as he began to push even harder into her trying to pierce past her final barrier.

"K-Keep it up!" she groaned through her haze, gyrating her hips as she repeatedly impaled herself on Ryu. The wet smacking sound her breasts made when they hit her belly only served to increase her arousal, bringing her even closer to release.

"Here it comes!" Ryu shouted as he gave one final heave and managed to break past her cervix into her womb just as he came, depositing his massive load directly inside.

Kagami arched her back and cried out in pleasure, feeling her womb fill up completely and then some. Her eyes widened as she realized he wasn't spent yet - her belly bloated out slightly as she herself let her orgasm run its course, leaking both their love juices onto him. "Ivywhoooore!" she gasped.

Ryu panted wildly as he could feel her spasming all around him, drawing out even more of his seed as it poured into her womb, bloating her out more as it began to leak out of her and onto the bed. "You… okay there?" he panted out.

"Ivywhore…" a spent Kagami flopped onto the bed beside Ryu, landing on top of Hanami and startling her. "Ivywhore!"

"Milktit?" Hanami responded, tilting her head.

"Ivywhore!" Kagami responded, nodding wildly.

"Milktit!" Hanami chuckled and rolled over onto Ryu once again.

"Kagami-nee… said… she's completely worn out, and then… she said best sex ever. Hanami-nee asked if it was true… and then Kagami-nee replied yes. So now Hanami-nee wants to… try…" Fubuki translated.

Ryu chuckled as he moved the two of them so that Hanami was on her back. "I plan on it," he assured before looking over to Fubuki. "And you understood all of that?"

"I… I don't know how…" Fubuki panted. "But I want to go next… after I recover my breath…"

"Milktit…" Hanami whispered.

"Please be… gentle…" her younger sister translated.

Ryu nodded. "I'll do my best," he told her with a brief smile before he slowly pushed into her, making sure to massage her leaking chest as he leaned in and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.

Hanami leaned into the kiss, while she tried to reach around him with her arms, only for her massive breasts to get in the way - she couldn't reach around them enough. "Milktit…" she let out a disappointed whine.

Ryu chuckled in response as he looked back down at her massively enlarged breasts. "These are bigger than my head," he commented before he grinned. "I wonder what happens when a Milktit drinks their own milk…"

Upon her sister launching into another chain of her Pokegirl breed name, Fubuki translated, "No effect, her instincts are telling her."

"Darn then," he said overdramatically with a sigh. "But, I guess that means more for me to drink then, doesn't it?"

Hanami blushed and nodded, before pointing at her lower entrance and letting out a pitiful, "Milktit…"

"Don't forget about… that," Fubuki translated.

"I haven't," he told her as he pushed in a bit deeper, hitting her hymen. "You ready for this?"

Another nod.

"Alright then," he grinned possessively at her. "I'm making you mine," he declared to her before pushing himself into her, breaching her barrier as he reached down and played with her clit.

The pain from the penetration only lasted for a moment before the pleasure overrode it, causing Hanami to gasp out loud and clench her fists tight. A particularly strong jet of milk shot out of her engorged nipples for a moment.

"Should've remembered this trick with Kagami," Ryu muttered to himself as he set a steady pace thrusting into Hanami. "Man, you're not quite as tight, but it's so soft and velvety.."

"Milktit! Milktit!" Hanami cried out in pleasure as her Pokegirl instincts overwhelmed her. Fubuki didn't bother translating that one.

Ryu grinned wider as he picked up his pace, pushing himself deeper into her canal, although he restrained himself from going all out - he didn't want to hurt her after all. "Fubuki," he called out to the other silverette. "Come here."

"Eh?" Fubuki blinked a few times, but obeyed as she moved towards him, struggling under the weight of her assets.

Ryu grinned as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close and deeply kissed her, continuing to thrust into Hanami as he fondled Fubuki's breasts. "You were looking a little lonely there," he breathed to her as they separated.

"Uuu…" a dazed Fubuki moaned, taken off guard.

Ryu leaned back in as he kissed her again, one hand fondling her oversized breast while his other hand fondled Hanami's, whose breasts were rocking from the force of his thrusts. "Why don't you go and show your sister how much you love her with a deep kiss?"

"H-Hanami-nee…" Fubuki got up and leaned towards her older sister, staring deep into her eyes. "I-I love you…"

"Milktit…" Hanami whispered back, pulling her towards her and kissing her deeply, even as her hands massaged her breast that wasn't occupied by Ryu, teasing a few more droplets of milk out as she moaned erotically.

Ryu watched the scene with lustful eyes as the sisters made out with one another, the strength of his thrusts picking up as he felt his balls churn for release. "I'm going to cum, Hanami," he told the lustful Milktit. "And I'm going to fill you to the brim like Kagami and do the same with Fubuki."

Hanami nodded slowly, still absorbed in her kiss with her younger sister.

Ryu grunted as he let go of Hanami's breast and brought his hand down to her clit once more and began to lightly pinch and pull on it, increasing the pleasure she was feeling and causing her pussy walls to clamp down and ripple around his rod as his thrusts became erratic. "I'm cumming!"

"Milktiiiiit!" Hanami gasped as she felt her lover's seed pouring into her and released her own juices. Like with Kagami, her belly bloated outwards with the volume that he was pouring into her as a curious Fubuki watched. Once she was completely spent, she flat-out fainted right onto Ryu.

"R-Ryu-kun, don't you ever run dry?" Fubuki whispered in awe.

Ryu grinned at her. "I was born with the 'Excessive Cum', Bloodgift… curse… whichever really," he explained as he gently shifted Hanami over next to Kagami who was grinning at her unconscious sister as she eagerly watched Ryu approach Fubuki. "All I know is, you're going to be bloated up, are you ready for it?"

"Ivywhore…" Kagami murmured dreamily as she patted her stomach and smacked Fubuki's back softly, encouraging her.

"Er…" Fubuki hesitated for a moment. "O-Okay…"

Ryu smiled at her as he wrapped his arms around her once more and pulled her into his chest, her massive chest squashing up against him, spilling milk all over his chest as he pulled her into a kiss, gently pushing her back onto the bed. "Any specific way you want to do this?" he asked her with a heated grin as they separated.

"I… I don't know," she whispered softly, spreading her legs wide open to reveal her sopping wet entrance. "I leave it to you, R-Ryu-kun…"

Ryu chuckled in response. "Like this should be fine for now then," he told her as he positioned his erection at her entrance. "I'm putting it in now, alright?"

Fubuki nodded gingerly and braced herself, wrapping her arms around Ryu's neck.

Ryu quickly pushed himself in, kissing Fubuki intensely as one of his hands toyed with her clit, hoping to repeat the pleasure that Hanami had to override the pain as her barrier was broken.

It worked like a charm - the younger silverette had no time to register the pain as she cried out in arousal. "Make love to me, Ryu-kun!" she gasped, her breasts taking on a life of their own, bouncing heavily as Ryu began to repeatedly thrust into her.

Ryu nodded as he leaned in, giving her a tender kiss as his hands roamed her body, memorizing all of her sensitive spots. "All three of you… your bodies are so… addictive," he whispered to Fubuki. "I'm glad that all three of you are mine."

"I'm glad I… I'm yours too, Ryu-kun…" Fubuki panted between thrusts, her eyes rolling upwards from the pleasure. "E-Even though I'm not… a Pokegirl… yet…"

"Even if you never do become one," Ryu panted, his eyes gleaming possessively. "I'd still make you mine, and keep it that way."

Fubuki let out a saucy grin. "Say… Ryu-kun… are you more of a boob person or a butt person?" she asked dreamily.

Ryu had a grin on his face. "Both," he answered. "Big, small, round, flat, I don't care… so long as it's mine."

"This… is a side of you I haven't seen before…" Fubuki muttered. "B-But… it makes me feel so… hot inside…"

Ryu laughed lowly as his thrusts became harder and harder. "Good," he commented. "Because I'm not going to stop until I'm satisfied."

"It makes me wonder if the three of us are enough for you or not…" Fubuki murmured, finding the sound of her breasts smacking against each other even more of a turn on. "I'm close… Ryu-kun…"

"So am I, Fubuki," Ryu said as his thrusts became wild. "I'm looking forward to filling you up so much that you spill over."

"Make me yours… Ryu-kun!" Fubuki cried out, as her control gave way.

"Cumming!" Ryu shouted out as his thrusted one final time into Fubuki, and almost quite literally exploded inside of her, her womb beginning to bloat from the amount of cum being spilled inside of her.

Fubuki's eyes rolled up into the back of her head and she fell back onto the bed. "Kagami-nee was right…" she whispered. "Best sex ever."

Ryu panted as he recovered from his orgasm and chuckled weakly. "Sorry, about my possessiveness there," he said as he rolled off of her and laid on the bed. "Gets the better of me when taming…"

"Ivywhore…" Kagami grinned weakly, barely holding on to her consciousness.

"It's a turn on… don't change it…" Fubuki translated, panting and rubbing her stomach. "And I agree…"

Ryu laughed softly as he gently began to pull the three sisters closer to him. "Well… that's good then," he commented once they were all settled around him, the unconscious Hanami was on his chest with her back to him as Kagami and Fubuki each took an arm for their own. "And now… physical exhaustion mixed with magic depletion… guaranteed to knock anyone out."

"Good night… Ryu-kun…" Fubuki whispered as she drifted off to sleep.

"Ivywhore…" It didn't take a genius to figure out what Kagami was trying to say.

"Night… see ya'll in the mornin…" Ryu managed to get out before he himself fell asleep.

"I'm glad," her face sat before my vision, her clear blue eyes sparkling with laughter, crimson red hair framing a heart shaped face as deceptively thin arms planted her hands on her jean clad hips, a light blue tube top showed off her, actually, rather small chest proudly as she smile down at me.

We were in a familiar field, one we played in as kids, the grass I laid in was warmed by the sun's rays that shone down upon the two of us.

"You found some good partners, partner," she spoke, a slight accent in her voice. "Treat 'em well, it's getting to be time for you to move on."

"I don't want to," I whispered to her, a wetness building up in my eyes as I looked upon my First partner, my first love, Akira.

"Y'know what they say, Partner," Akira whispered sadly, her eyes glimmering with tears. "First loves, they always shine so bright… but… they'll always disappear too soon."

She looked off towards the distance, my eyes following her line of sight to see a trio of familiar looking girls waving to me, calling me over. "Go to them, Partner," she whispered, her form becoming indistinct, rippling like the disturbed waters of a peaceful lake. "But… for now… I'll be by your side… for a while longer."

Her form shrank as I reached out for her, fingers closing in to grasp her, only to curl around the hilt of a sheathed katana. "Akira," I whispered softly, staring at the sword in my hand. "Thank you."

Standing up I look over to the girls who were all smiling at me, I could see something behind them, three more not quite visible figures, their features blurred and shadowed, but… not menacing, rather… warm and welcoming. "Shall we get going… partner?" I whisper to the empty air around me.

A gust of wind answered me, pushing me towards the girls. "I'll take that as a yes…" I reply with a broad, joy filled smile as I stepped towards the group of girls, something… new in my step… something familiar. Ah well, something to figure out later.

AN

DKR: We're back baby! Welcome one and all to the first chapter of Ripples of a Blade REFORGED! We got someone new joining us, and he helped out with this chapter, say hi to everyone Astral!

AstralXYZ: Eheh, hullo! This is my first time working in the Pokegirls universe, and Ryu and the others have been a really big help to me. That said, I hope to be able to stay focused on this fic as well as our other one, Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Seed - please check it out if you haven't already. I'm in my final year of college so please bear with me if the updates seem a little slow to come - final project and all.

DKR: Thank you Astral, now, I have heard many complaints about having the 'dex entries being in the fic and a wall of text, so, I put them in a separate fic that I will post alongside each chapter, also I am willing to listen to requests for certain pokegirls to appear in Harems, Ryu's Harem still has one spot open - the fourth and fifth is already chosen so nyeh nyeh. Anyways, please to leave a review to let us know what you think of the rebooted fic, and see ya'll in chapter two: The Warriors Family! LATER!

OoOoOoO
