Chapter One: The Swordsmith

Edo League, 1 mile away from Hakuma Town

It was a quiet sunny day in a lightly wooded clearing where a steady metallic banging was heard throughout emanating from a small stone hut next to a medium sized single-story Pre-Sukube Japanese. Tufts of smoke rose from the chimney as within a scorching hot fire blazed within with a man looking to be in his early twenties hammering away on a superheated piece of metal shaping it into his desired shape.

The man was tall standing at 7' even wearing only a pair of loose sweatpants showing off his toned body with sculpted muscles, while not overly muscled his six pack was still quite visible as his bare chest glistened with sweat. His dark brown almost black hair was cut close to the scalp and his eyes were intense as they focused on the steel he was shaping, his right eyes was a dark green while his left was a bright gold.

Grunting he used his tongs to move the metal over to a bucket of water and doused the finished project and left it to cool as he grabbed a towel and wiped his face, a ring of a bell alerted him to a visitor to the main house making him sigh as he left the hut picking up and pulling on a button up sleeveless shirt and pulled it on leaving it unbuttoned. The ring was heard again as he moved through the house and to the main door, he opened the door and rose his eyebrow seeing a pair before him, one was a male with greasy looking black hair and beady brown eyes wearing a rather garish outfit with copious amounts of jewels on his person, next to him was an attractive woman with dark red hair and pair of bright green eyes wearing knight-like exquisitely crafted armor.

"Are you the swordsmith Ryu Hisanaga?" The man asked in a rather high-pitched voice.

"I am," Ryu answered with a nod as he folded his arms across his chest "Do you need something?"

"I wish to purchase a weapon for my Alpha here," He said indicating the Pokegirl next to him that Ryu marked as an Armsmistress who nodded with a respectful bow "I was told that you are the best in the world."

Ryu shrugged "Not sure if it's true," He said looking the girl over "What's your name?"

"I'm Taka-" The man started only for Ryu to cut him off.

"I was asking her, not you." Ryu said curtly turning back to the Armsmistress with a raised eyebrow.

She blushed slightly not expecting the attention "My lord refers to me as Callie." She answered in a soft voice making Ryu nod and gestured for them to follow him, he lead them to a storeroom loaded with a multitude of various types of swords of various different styles and origins.

He gestured to the room "Pick out the one that calls to you," He instructed as he leant against the wall next to the door watching the woman move through the room with an awestruck expression her gauntleted fingers brushing over the weapons before pausing at a rather simple looking broadsword and picked it up looking it over and giving it a few test swings, the blade was a dark grey color with a couple whorls of black in it "Kenchu, Sword Judgment," Ryu said giving the sword's name "25% iron, 45% steel, 13% carbon, 8% tungsten, 5% titanium and 4% is some metal made from a meteorite I had managed to get my hands on. Solid won't break."

Callie looked over to her Master who looked at Ryu "How much?" He asked reaching into his pockets for his wallet.

"50,000 SCL." Ryu stated after a second "That was the total cost of the materials, meteorite ore is not cheap."

The man nodded and handed the amount over to Ryu who accepted the money and pulled out a scabbard for the broadsword and handed it to Callie "Ensure you maintain the weapon properly, she can be temperamental at times if she isn't taken care of." He informed getting a confused look from the man as Callie nodded "Use a 2 parts water one part oil mix when cleaning and you should have no problems with stains or rust."

Callie nodded and bowed respectfully to Ryu before following her Tamer out of the house and back down the path leading back to civilization "Nice girl," He muttered "To bad her Tamer's a pompous ass."

With that he turned back to the house and headed for his small forge.

Hakuma Town, later that week

Hakuma Town wasn't a very well known town, it had no Gym or Research Lab, it's largest claim to fame was that it was the closest town to the swordsmith Ryu Hisanaga who had a worldwide reputation for his skill with forging. It saw traffic from rich to poor alike, all seeking to acquire one of his swords, some came back angry and disappointed – some of them sporting various cuts and bruises – while others returned happy, some to the point of tears. Some spoke of the sheer absurdity of the prices while others praised how cheap the weapons were. The only common link between them all was the Pokegirl they had brought with them: the worse they were treated the higher the price, the kinder the Tamer was, the lower the price.

Despite the fact that Hakuma was the closest piece of civilization to him, Ryu visited rarely, once a month, twice on a blue moon when he was meeting with a supplier who brought him rare ores.

So it a rather big surprise to the local owner of a rather popular cafe saw the brown haired smith enter his shop, he was wearing a pair of woodland cameo pants with a black muscle shirt under a dark brown jacket that was left open "Ryu!" He called out "I wasn't expecting you for another few weeks, what's the occasion?"

Ryu shrugged as he took his usual spot at the counter "Just feel the need to travel for a while Greg," He informed resting a sheathed katana next to him and a bundle of weapons underneath his stool "Left a note on the door for any customers, think I'll head to Henka Port and get a booth for a week, see if they have any new types of ores available."

The bald shopkeeper boggled the man his sharp blue eyes inspecting the man "You're going further into civilization by choice?" He asked his eyes narrowing "Is the world coming to an end Ryu? Please tell me if it is."

Ryu rolled his eyes "Nah, just getting a feeling to go there," He replied as Greg's pokegirl, a Catgirl named Kaitlin, set a plate of his usual order with a smile that Ryu returned "Not sure when I'll be back."

Greg nodded as Ryu ate the pair conversing on the latest topics and news "I'll see you when you return Ryu," Greg said with a wave as Ryu placed the money he owed on the counter "Be safe in your travels, and who knows, maybe you'll meet a girl you like!"

Ryu rolled his eyes as he left the cafe as Kaitlin turned to Greg with a confused look "Master? Why doesn't Ryu have a Pokegirl?" She asked curiously never seeing the man with a Pokegirl of his own in the time she had known him.

Greg sighed "He did have one once," He informed "An old friend of his who thresholded, unfortunately she died a year later in a Mantis attack, that was about four years ago now I think."

The Catgirl gave a small noise of understanding before moving back about her duties as Greg sighed and continued to wipe down the counter.

Train southbound for Henka Port

Ryu sighed as he rested his head against the seat he had occupied his personal sword at his side along with his wares as he stared out the window watching the scenery move by. His mind wandered as he stared causing him to start slightly when the door opened suddenly causing him to jerk his sword halfway out of the sheath revealing a deep black metal that had whorls of white only to stop as he realized where exactly he was blinking as he stared at a boy just reaching the cusp of adulthood wide eyed with fear.

Ryu slid his sword back into his scabbard "My apologies," He said regretfully "I had dozed off their and had forgotten where I was."

The boy let out a shaky laugh "N... No problem," He assured placing a hand over his racing heart "I probably should've knocked first, is it alright if me and my Alpha sit here?"

Ryu gestured for him to enter as he sat back down inspecting the bo – young man – as he turned to someone, most likely his Alpha, outside of the compartment. He had sandy blonde hair with bright blue eyes that shone with excitement, obviously a new Tamer just starting on his journey, wearing a pair of loose blue jeans held to his waist by a black belt and a white t-shirt. When he entered a 'girl stepped in behind him and appraised Ryu as he returned the favor his eyes sweeping over the girl in an instant, she had dark green hair with a pair of pupiless red eyes, she had a rather slim waist with a decent C-cup wearing a skintight black singlet that left her back and shoulders uncovered and stopped at her knees and her arms bare, she looked over Ryu apprehensively before sitting next to her Tamer who eyed Ryu and the weapons next to him "My name is Kenji Hakura," He said finally introducing himself "This is my partner Fuujin."

Ryu smiled gently and bowed his head in return "And I am Ryu Hisanaga," He returned "Again my apologies for my reaction."

Kenji's jaw dropped as Ryu introduced himself "As in the master swordsmith Ryu Hisanaga?" He asked in shock getting a slight chuckle from the man.

"Am I really that famous?" He asked curiously "All I do is make swords."

"But.. your swords have been declared as the best in the world by many powerful Tamers!" Kenji squawked out waving his arms "Even the current Grand Champion even says your swords are the best!"

Ryu rose an eyebrow "Huh, no wonder I've been getting more visitors," He mused "I really need to keep in better touch with society."

"Umm, would you mind if we see some of your swords?" Fuujin asked hesitantly a light blush dusting her cheeks "My mother had managed to get a ninjato from you a couple years back."

Ryu eyed the girl speculatively "Who was your mother?" He asked trying to place her.

"A Kunoichi name Karin," She said ducking her head "I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't-"

"30% Steel," Ryu said interrupting Fuujin causing both of them to look at him as he held his chin between his forefinger and thumb "25% Tungsten, 25% Titanium; 10% Argon and 10% Carbon. That was a hard sword to forge, very fickle I hope she had been able to take care of Chidori well. She was a nice girl, decent Tamer too, is she well?"

Fuujin nodded slightly dazed "You remembered all of that?" She asked in shock getting a nod from Ryu in return.

"I never forget a sword I forged, nor do I forget the one I gave it to." He explained as he reached over to the wares and hit a button on the wall causing a table to slide out upon which he spread the swords out on "I'm heading to Henka Port to sell some wares and see if any of the merchants have any rare ores I could use."

Fuujin reach out and lightly touch a dagger before snatching her hand back and looking at Ryu who looked slightly puzzled by the sight of the blade but gestured for her to pick it up, she unsheathed the dagger and inspected it closely awed at it's simplistic beauty, the blade was made out of a shimmering green metal that held a single jagged whorl of red that ran along the edge "It's beautiful." She whispered entranced by the dagger as she and Kenji inspected every inch.

"60% Malachite, 20% Carbon and 20% of a unique metal compound I've taken to calling Akashio(Red Tide) as it seems to be only formed in a special river whose water is as red as blood." Ryu explained "It's name is Tensaiga, and I don't remember packing it." He tilted his head as his eyes flicked between Fuujin and Tensaiga "What species are you Fuujin?"

Ryu's question snapped Fuujin and Kenji out of their trance "Oh, uhh I'm a Ninjette." She answered slightly embarrassed "Kenji and I are heading to challenge the gym in Henka Port... hopefully we can win." She moved to place the dagger back with the others only to stop as Ryu raised his hand.

"Keep it," He said sternly and cut her off before she or Kenji could protest "Tensaiga chose you to wield it, so it is yours, consider it a good luck gift for your upcoming challenges."

Fuujin and Kenji's eyes shone brightly looking at Ryu as if he was a God "Thank you Ryu-sama!" Fuujin said gratefully carefully cradling the dagger to her chest making Ryu smirk slightly as he nodded.

"Don't mention it." He assured as Kenji started asking questions about the other weapons.

Henka Port, next day

Ryu yawned and stretched as he stepped out of the train and waved goodbye to Kenji and Fuujin, who was proudly wearing her new dagger strapped to her tight before setting off to the merchants guild to get a stall license. He drew some curious looks as he maneuvered his through the packed streets dodging humans, pokegirls, carts and stalls, undoubtedly due to the fact that he not only carried his katana in one hand, but held a bundle of weapons over his other shoulder. He ignored them as he came up to the guild and stepped into the building his ears being assaulted by the crowd of merchants and traders.

He waited in a proper line and waited for his turn to fill out a form, he got a rather surprised look from the Ingenue in charge when he gave his name but otherwise quickly got assigned a stall and handed a license with directions to said stall. Once he was finished he stepped up to the bulletin board hung up on one of the walls and quickly looked it over to see if any ore traders posted something, seeing nothing he put up a note asking any ore traders with rare minerals to seek him out and put the address of his stall on it before leaving. He breath a sigh of relief getting out of the tightly pack throng of people and back into open air, while not exactly hating it, he wasn't comfortable amongst tight packed groups of people and was glad he was back out into the streets that, while crowded, were not shoulder to shoulder.

The stall he was assigned was actually in a fairly decent location about halfway between the Pokegirl Center and the Pokegirl Gym, an area many Tamers frequented. Either heading to challenge the gym, or going to heal their 'girls at the Center. He arranged his blades on the decently sized stall and took a seat behind his wares and waited.

As the day passed a couple of Tamers stopped when their partner wandered over to the swords to inspect them, a couple of Ronins, a She-Captain and most notably a Samurai who had begged her Tamer to buy a sword that was primarily made out of Carbon. Ryu withheld a chuckle as the fearsome pokegirl who had an eye patch over her left eye used her remaining eye to great effect wielding the fearsome 'Puppy Dog Eyes' that passing males chuckled at not envying the man who eventually capsulated and bought the sword and handed it to the Samurai who seemed to have a near orgasmic experience and dragged her Tamer to the Center leaving a laughing swordsmith in their wake.

He was about to get ready to close up for the night when a man approached him "Are you the one who posted the note about rare minerals?" He asked, he was a rather burly man with massive muscles that would not look out of place on a Amachoke.

"I am, what have you got?" Ryu asked in interest as the man swung a bag from over his shoulder and onto the ground.

Opening the bag he pulled out a chunk of white ore and handed it to Ryu who inspected it carefully "Don't think I've ever seen anything like this," The man admitted "Found it in a cave in the Orange Islands, we've taken to calling it Aldantium. Take a lot to get it to melt and very tough to mold."

Ryu nodded pulling out a pocket scanner and scanned the ore and read the results "Interesting, it's much like meteorite ore..." He mused "How much?"

"1,00SCL/pound." The man said instantly.

"500SCL per." Ryu countered.

The two haggled for a good hour drawing a crowd who became fascinated watching the two as if it were a Pre-Sukube tennis match before they finally settled on 750 per pound with Ryu buying thirty pounds and paid extra to have it delivered to his house. Letting out a content sigh he gather up his wares and headed to a nearby hotel as the Pokegirl Center was only for active Tamers. He settled himself into the comfortable bed once he had checked in and drifted off into sleep a content grin on his face.

Later That Week

Ryu yawned as he stepped out of the hotel and carried his now mostly gone wares to his stall and set up his remaining two swords, it definitely had surprised him that almost every sword sold had been sold over the last week. He opened a newspaper he had bought that morning and started reading as he waited for someone to become interested in one of his swords.

'I see a new Team Rocket clone had popped up,' He thought to himself as the paper outlined an attempted robbery of a Pokecenter by a group calling themselves Team Akuma 'Idiots, attacking a Pokegirl Center at night is tantamount to suicide with all the Tamers there resting for the night.'

"Excuse me?" A soft voice called out to him making him look up from the paper to a woman standing before him, she had long pure white hair that fell to her waist with dark purple eyes, she was wearing a light blue kimono with a darker blue floral pattern held close by a white obi with a pair of sandals with a pair of large D-cup breasts, although she appeared unarmed he could spot the telltale signs of a dagger hidden in her kimono sleeve "Did you forge these blades?"

Ryu smiled and nodded "Yes I did, are you interested in them?" He asked folding up his paper to give the woman his full attention.

The woman hesitated slightly shifting the basket she was carrying to her other arm "I know this will sound... strange, but are you a Tamer?" She asked her eyes hopeful making Ryu blink.

"Non-Active, but yes," He informed with a confirming nod "Why do you ask?"

"My daughters," She said looking around apprehensively "They have recently thresholded and I wanted to get them into the Harem of a decent Tamer, I'm worried because a Tamer with a bad reputation has been hanging around awaiting an opportunity to capture them."

Ryu rose an eyebrow in surprise at her request "Why me?" He asked "You don't even know me?"

The woman blushed slightly "These blades," She said her hand hovering over them "Your soul resonates in them, there is a pain of loss, but an undeniable kindness resides in them. I know that my daughters will be safe with you..."

Ryu sighed and looked down at the two katanas 'Is this fate?' He asked himself, both swords had been an odd forging process, when he had started shaping the metal it turned out that he had used to much for a single sword and ended up being able to forge two of them, although one was a long dagger nearly as long as his forearm "I'll meet with them," He said "I don't want to force anyone to come with me."

The woman smiled gratefully "Thank you," She said bowing to the swordsmith "Oh, where are my manners, I am Higurashi Otoshi, thank you for your help."

"And I am Ryu Hisanaga," He returned the bow missing the knowing look that sparkled through her eyes for the brief second he was bowing "Just give me a second to close up." Higurashi nodded in understanding and waited patiently as Ryu carefully packed the two swords and closed up the stall "Lead the way."

Ryu followed Higurashi through the city towards the suburbs to a simple two story home where a tall woman standing at an imposing 9' with short black fur with a dark brown stripe going down from the bottom of her jaw to her groin, her nose was larger than normal and had bones growing out of both of her elbows and knees with curved horns on top of her head and a pair of mid-sized D-cup breasts. "Whose this Alpha?" She growled as Higurashi approached with Ryu.

"It's alright Juri," Higurashi assured raising her free hand "I brought him to meet with the girls."

Juri looked Ryu over before nodding sharply "The bastard came by again," She informed before grinning showing off her sharp teeth "Took one look at me and fled like a pup."

Higurashi nodded "Thank you Juri for your endeavors in protecting my daughters." She said gratefully "I really appreciate all of your support throughout this."

Juri gave another nod "You are my Alpha, they are apart of the pack, for now at least," She added casting a look to Ryu who had politely directed his attention to the garden in the front of the house "Why him?"

Higurashi leant in and whispered something into Juri's ear causing the woman's eyes to widen and stare at the man with a newfound respect "Ryu," She called out softly getting the man's attention back to her "This way please."

Ryu nodded as he followed in bowing his head in respect to Juri as he passed, a sentiment she exchanged before looking back out to the street "If you don't mind me asking, where is the father?" Ryu asked politely getting an understanding smile from Higurashi.

"He's still an active Tamer," She informed "He's traveling the world to learn everything he can. I stayed behind to raise my daughters, something he understood and supported." Ryu nodded in understanding as he followed her through a hallway and into a sitting room "Wait here please," She requested gesturing to the chair "Please make yourself at home."

Ryu nodded and sat down in the rather comfy chair while Higurashi disappeared further into the house and unpacked the two swords he had yet to sell and set them on the coffee table before sitting back staring at the blades as he waited. He looked up as he heard a trio of footsteps approaching the room and saw Higurashi enter with two girls behind her, they were obviously twins looking identical to each other with the same snowy white hair as their mother, theirs were shorter sitting just below their shoulder blades, although they had a single lock of black, the one on the right had her's brushed over the right ear while the other had her's over the left ear. The only other physical difference between them were their eyes, while the one standing to the right of their mother had dark purple eyes like her mother the one on the left had light blue eyes with darker blue pupils, something he attributed to their father and the fact that the one on the left had a tattoo on her forehead that consisted of four triangles that pointed in each direction while their bottom corners touched creating a blank square in the center, the right's arms and hands were rather thin and delicate looking when compared to the rest of her body. They weren't particularly tall or short standing at a modest 5'6" with C-cup breasts and near perfect hourglass figures, they also had slightly frail looking arms. Both were wearing a light brown tunic with similarly colored short pleated skirts that fell to just above mid thigh held up by a pair of belts that were strapped in an x-like fashion although the one on the left had a small buckler shield hanging off her belt while the one on the right had a decently sized combat knife hanging off of hers.

"Thank you for waiting, these are my daughters" Higurashi said as Ryu stood allowing the pair to look him over as he did the same "Taka," She gestured to the one on her right "And Dori."

Ryu bowed to the pair of them "It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Ryu Hisanaga," He greeted, straightening he could see the surprise on their faces "And if you know about me being a swordsmith then I really need to start reconnecting with the world more than once a month."

Higurashi hid a giggle behind her sleeve as Taka and Dori didn't bother hiding their own "It is nice to meet," Taka started smiling.

"One such as you." Dori finished matching her twins smile, the air around her seemed to have develop a sparkle around her as a light pink dusted her cheeks.

Their mother sighed a shook her head in exasperation "I'm sorry, those two seemed to have somehow formed a psychic bond with each other," She explained as the twins shared a look and giggled again "We think it may be a kind of Recognition but we're not sure, sometimes they hold entire conversations with each other without saying a word."

"We like to" Dori started

"Really freak people out." Taka finished.

Ryu smiled restraining his own laughter as their mother let out another exasperated sigh before gesturing to the swords on the table "That just confirms these blades are meant for the two of you," He informed drawing the pairs attention to the swords "And unless I miss my guess the Taka you are a Slicer, Dori you are a Shieldmaiden are you not?"

The pair smiled and nodded happily before moving over to the swords their expressions becoming curious. Ryu watched them closely as they picked up the swords, they seemed to have trouble deciding which pull was stronger before they finally settled on one, Dori chose the one that was slightly shorter while Taka chose the longer one "Kaen is the one you are holding Dori," He stated nodding to said girl "Mizu is the one you are holding Taka. They are 75% Steel, 15% Carbon, 10% Titanium and 5% Iron. I had apparently used to much ore in the melting process and ended up with enough to make both swords."

"Apparently?" The twins both asked simultaneously curious expressions on their faces as they inspected the silvery gray blades.

Ryu shrugged with a slight smile on his face "When I start forging a weapon I tend to black out slightly," He admitted "I know bits of what I'm doing, such as the percentage mix of ores, but other than that..." He shrugged again "My parents took me to a Researcher when I forged a sword when I was nine and he said that I had the rare 'Soul of the Smith' Bloodgift, not much is known about it really."

"An interesting bloodgift," Higurashi mused hiding her mouth behind her kimono sleeve her eyes sharp before they softened "What do you girls think?"

Taka and Dori turned and faced each other their faces shifting through expressions from bemused to surprise to finally conviction as they had one of their mental conversations "If you would have us." Taka said finally turning to Ryu with her sister.

"We would be honored to join you." Dori finished their eyes filled with a trace amount of lust that was mostly covered by excitement.

Ryu smiled and opened his arms "The honor is mine," He replied honestly getting slight squeals from the girls who hugged him tightly pulling him down to their level so that they could each give him a chaste kiss on the cheek.

Higurashi smiled with a slight amount of sadness in her expression as her daughters turned to her "So my little chicks are leaving the nest now," She said her eyes tearing up ever so slightly as the three hugged "Be safe you two."

"We will momma." They whispered their own eyes tearing up before breaking the hug and darting to their rooms to get their things.

"Protect them well Ryu," She requested as she stood in front of the man "If they come to harm due to your negligence I willhunt you down and I will kill you and no one will find the body."

Ryu nodded seriously "I will not let them come to harm on my watch," He assured "I don't want to lose anyone again."

"What happened?" Higurashi asked seeing the pain in the man's eyes concern flickering through her own.

"I made a stupid decision and the person that had not only been my partner but my best friend paid the price for it," He answered breaking eye contact to look down at his sword that he gripped tightly his eyes hardening "When I saw Akira fall to those Mantises I literally went berserk killing a lot of them before they started fleeing. Don't worry, normally I am in control, I've studied martial arts too control it. Although if something traumatic happens..."

"I understand," Higurashi assured placed a hand on his arm "And I trust you."

Ryu smiled and relaxed his body just as the twins came back into the room each carrying a duffel bag on their shoulders and their new swords at their waist attached to a belt "We're ready~!" They sang in unison making him chuckle before turning to Higurashi.

"I'll be sure to take care of them and bring them here if we are in town." He promised as the three exchanged final goodbyes.

Higurashi nodded "I may not be here, but the others would be glad to see them," She informed before she blinked and lightly smacked her head "I almost forgot, here," She said pulling out two standard pokeballs "Their pokeballs, we had balled them after they recovered from thresholding just to be on the safe side."

Ryu smiled and accepted the shrunken balls and placed them on his belt "Are you two ready?" He asked for confirmation getting nods from the pair before turning to Higurashi and gave a nod "We're off."

"Goodbye and safe travels," She said to them as they left the house saying goodbye to Juri who gave the twins a strong hug and a warning glare to Ryu who took it in stride "And so the chicks leave the nest fully fledged bird." She whispered to herself as the trio became absorbed into the crowd and Juri walked up next to her.

"The pups'll be fine," She assured the woman who smiled "They're strong, so is he."

Higurashi nodded before turning back into the house "I guess I better get ready to rejoin with Master," She sighed before smiling slightly "He was right on the dot with Ryu wasn't he?"

Juri nodded following the Pokewoman into the house "He was," She agreed "I wonder if the rest of his predictions will be true?"

"Who's to say?" The other replied with a shrug stepping into her room where a somewhat revealing dark red kimono hung with a symbol of crossed swords emblazoned on the back was hanging above a daisho set of a katana and wakazashi "The future is always in motion..."

With Ryu

Ryu smiled as he and his girls entered the room they had gotten at the Pokecenter now that he was a fully active Tamer now once again having Pokegirls "So, you ladies want to get... settled in?" He asked in a charming voice making the twins blush slightly but smile in anticipation all the same.

"Sounds like," Taka started.

"Fun." Dori finished as they both stripped him of his jacket before pulling him over to a chair and sat him down "Please wait as,"

"We get ready." They requested before grabbing their bags and disappearing into the bathroom.

Ryu rose an eyebrow with a smile but waited all the same 'They're rather interesting,' He thought to himself as he waited for the twins 'I wonder why though, why did Fate chose me for them, I don't even leave my home very often, let alone travel like I used to... is that it? Does Fate want me to restart my journey?'

Any further thoughts were cut off as the twins came out of the bathroom and Ryu's jaw dropped.

***Lemon Warning, don't like don't read***

The twins had put on a slight amount of make-up only to accentuate their natural beauty, but that wasn't the reason for his shock, it was what the twins were wearing that really caught his attention, they were dressed in what looked to be a schoolgirl outfit, but several sizes too small, their button up blouses they didn't even bother to button up instead tying the bottom up to keep it closed although it still strained to keep their busts contained, their skirts were short and just barely covered their pussies and Ryu could see a telltale sign of their arousal from a line of juices dripping down their thighs and being absorbed by the knee high socks they were wearing.

Ryu couldn't help but stare as the two moved over to the stereo in the room and put in a music disk and hit play causing a deep base to start thrumming through the room as the twins started to dance. Although the more operative word would have been clothed sex. The two of them rubbed against each other their lips almost but not quite meeting as their hands moved across the other's body sensually moans emerging from each other's mouths as their hands passed over each others sensitive spots.

Ryu shifted in his seat as he watched his erection throbbing painfully in his pants as he watched the arousing dance, every time they lent over he could see their bare pussies, something they did quite often. The twins noticed his his discomfort and strutted over to him and each placed a hand on his shoulder to keep him in place, not that he struggled much.

Taka leaned in and kissed Ryu deeply her mouth readily accepting his tongue as he pushed it against hers and started massaging it, Ryu noted that when he placed a hand on Taka's breast and gave it a slight squeeze, not only did Taka moan, but so did Dori.

"We share sensations." Dori whispered into his ear seeing his surprised look before licking the ear.

Taka grinned as she broke away while Dori moved in to get her own kiss, she watched her sister kiss their new Tamer for a second before she slid down to her knees while Dori placed her knees on either armrest on the chair as she continued her make-out session "It definitely makes bedroom fun... even funner." She added sexily before leaning in and grabbing the zipper to his pants with her teeth and pulled it down and pulled his pants and underpants off freeing his cock.

Taka blinked in surprise seeing the eight inch long inch and a half wide tool before swallowing the saliva that had been building up feeling her and her sister's pussy throb in excitement at the thought of the cock plunging into their pussies and stirring their insides up. Licking her lips Taka leant in and flicked her tongue out licking the tip of his cock causing him to moan into her sister's mouth with Taka feeling the reverberations in her own as if he was doing it into hers. Liking the taste she started running her tongue all over his member lathering it in her saliva making him moan in appreciation of the pleasurable sensations.

Dori and Taka suddenly let out a squeak of pleasure as he reached up and slipped his hand into Dori's blouse and cupped her breasts kneading it slightly sending jolts of pleasure down the psychically linked twins' spines making them moan. Dori didn't resist as Ryu untied her tight blouse and pulled it off of her revealing her bare breasts to her Tamer who looked at them with lust clouded eyes making her shiver at the sight of his eyes. Leaning in he captured her nipple in his mouth making the twins moan as his tongue teased the sensitive organ sending bolts of pleasure down their spines. As Dori threaded her fingers into his short hair pressing him deeper into her chest Taka returned the favor by taking his member into her mouth with Dori being able to feel and taste it just as if it was in her own mouth as the two of them moaned at the feel and taste of his cock in their mouths.

Ryu groaned as he felt Taka's tongue swirl around his tool feeling a pleasure he hadn't felt for four years since the death of his partner, due to the years on his sexual inactivity – aside from his hands – it felt like he was a virgin all over again. "I'm gonna cum!" He warned breaking away from Dori's chest.

Taka coiled her tongue around his cock as much as she could while sealing her lips around it and sucked tightly creating a vacuum that caused Ryu to groan and explode into her mouth. Both Taka and Dori moaned as they felt and tasted his thick spunk in Taka's mouth as she swirled it around her mouth, Dori proceed to get off of the chairs armrests and pinned her sister on the ground underneath her, stripped her of her blouse and proceeded to shove her tongue down her sisters mouth to get a first hand taste of the spunk making the two of them moan at the sensations of them kissing each other resonated throughout their psychic bond as they fondled each other's chests.

Ryu couldn't help but moan seeing the identical twin sisters making out with his spunk being shared between the two of them caused his erection to throb again as he saw that their skirts had lifted up in their little tangle revealing their pussies to him. Getting on his knees between their spread out legs he leaned down to Taka's pussy and proceeded to lick all the way up to Dori's causing the pair of them to moan happily at the feeling "Master," They cooed in unison "We want your hard cock in our naughty snatches."

Ryu smirked as he lay on Dori's back and kissed the girls neck getting a shiver from the girls before sliding his cock between the two pussies making them moan as it brushed their clits "All these juices being spilled by your pussies," He said huskily making the twins shudder "You two really are naughty horny schoolgirls aren't you? Do I need to teach your pussies a lesson?"

The twins looked over Dori's shoulder up at him and smiled sexily "Yes Master," Dori said in a drawn out moan.

"Please teach our pussies well." Taka finished matching her twin's moan as she pressed her hips up squeezing Ryu's cock between their bodies.

Ryu smile as he thrusted between their bodies their pussy juices lubricating his cock with each thrust as the three of them moan from his thrusts before he lined it up with Dori's snatch and pushed himself in making her let out a long drawn out moan feeling him stretch her only to pause as he felt a barrier blocking him "Break it Master," She moaned out burying her face into the crook of her sisters neck "Claim me as your own."

Ryu nodded pulling his hips back slightly as her pussy muscles tried to pull him back in he looked down at Taka and Dori who had a single eye visible as she pressed herself against her sister and saw the trust and innate love in her and her sister's eyes and slammed his hips flush against Dori's ass as his tool broke past her hymen and right into her womb making the twin's eyes widen as the feeling resonated into Taka's pussy the pleasure far outweighing the pain, although if they were honest a bit of pain turned them on "Master~!" They moaned out as Dori arched her back "It feels so good!" Dori panted her hips pushing back against him trying to get him to move "P-please pound me, pound my pussy."

Ryu smiled and pulled out groaning as he felt her pussy walls contracting around him trying to keep him inside her until only his tip was in before plunging himself back in and continued the process much to the twins vocal approval. For Taka she could feel it through the bond and couldn't help but feel excited for her turn to experience it first hand making her moan in anticipation as she felt Ryu's cock press into her sister's womb through their bond and could feel her pussy throb in response.

Through her pleasure induced haze caused by Ryu continually pounding into her Dori could feel her sister's excitement and arousal from the sensations being sent by Dori. Reaching in between them Dori started playing with her sister's clit getting a moan from the two of them as it resonated. Even before they had thresholded the two shared their psychic bond, they actually had trouble learning to properly talk because of the fact that as children they communicated mentally, and when they turned 13 they thresholded and when they started to discover their sexuality they found out that the sensations they felt their sister felt as well leading to them exploring each other. As such Dori knew intimately her sister's 'sweet spots' and vice versa and quickly brought her sister up to the brink of orgasm as she neared her own "Master," She moaned out her thrusts back becoming erratic while his own her picking up speed and strength.

"We're cumming!" Taka finished arching herself as best as she could with two bodies on top of her as her sister arched her own back till she was almost a 'U' shape her eyes wide and bugging out while her mouth was opened in a soundless scream as her mind whited out.

Ryu grunted as Dori came her vaginal muscles contracting and squeezing his cock erratically as it tried to milk him of it's seed. Slamming his hips flush against her he pushed his cock deep into her womb and came with a shout of warning causing Dori's soundless scream to gain it's voice as her orgasm increased in strength and duration upon feeling the hot sticky fluid erupt into her womb. Taka could feel the same sensation as her sister stiffened as she let out a scream/moan of pleasure as her own orgasm was drawn out from the sensation.

Dori collapsed bonelessly on top of her sister panting from the strength of the orgasm smiling from the post-orgasm glow "Shield...maiden..." She moaned out as the taming shock descended upon her. Taka grinned as her sister blushed in embarrassment at being unable to communicate properly "God that's more embarrassing than momma said it would be." She 'said' to her sister who giggled in return as Ryu froze and stared down at them "But damned if it isn't worth it."

"I heard that," He said suddenly getting surprised looks from the two "I heard what you said to Taka mentally."

"Really?" Taka asked mentally in her shock only for Ryu not to respond getting confused looks from the pair "React if you can hear this Master."

When Ryu didn't respond Taka turned to Dori who turned to Taka with a understanding expression "He can't hear you yet because he isn't bonded with you yet," She explained "At least I think so."

"Sounds reasonable," Taka said in agreement before having Dori roll off her and shifting herself to her hands and knees with her ass pointed at Ryu wiggling it enticingly "Want to test that theory Master?"

Ryu grinned before an idea flashed through his mind making Dori giggle as she caught it through their new bond while Taka was left in the dark on their plan squeaked suddenly when Ryu lifted and moved her over on top of her sister and a 69 position before teasing her lower entrance with the tip of his cock "I do," He assured "But I want you to clean out your sister's pussy."

Taka flushed in excitement at his dominating tone making her pussy leak more juices "Yes Master," She said submissively her entire body shuddering pleasurably as he ran his cock along her pussy "Please reward me well."

Ryu grinned down at her as he pushed into her entrance and encountered the same barrier as her sister "You sure?" He asked gently stroking her neck.

"Yes Master, claim me like you claimed my sister!" Taka begged wanted to feel the real thing instead of the second hand "Claim me!"

Ryu nodded and he slammed himself in breaking past her barrier and deep into her womb much like her sister only Taka let out a howl of pleasure as her back arch, and much like her sister her hips had started jerking almost immediately egging him on to start fucking her, and fuck her he did. It seemed almost instinctual that he knew that she wanted to be dominated in bed as he hammered away into her snatch while pushing her head back down to her sister's pussy where she immediately got to work licking and scooping his spunk out of Dori's snatch making the Shieldmaiden moan as she suckled Ryu's balls and pinched her sister's clit tugging and pulling on it driving her wild with lust.

Taka couldn't get enough of it as her tongue plundered her sisters cavern tasting the mixture of Dori's honey and Ryu's spunk alone made her mind start to go numb, add in Ryu's fierce fucking and her sister's teasing of her clit made her feel like she was about to go crazy "M-master..." She moaned out "I... I can't hold on... I'm losing my mind!"

Ryu grunted as he felt his balls churn from both Taka's fluttering and spasming pussy walls and from Dori's oral ministrations to his balls "I hope you're ready Taka," He moaned out "'Cause I'm about to mark you as mine forever."

"YES!" Taka cried out her mind starting to blank as her inner coils reached their limit "MASTER!"

With the final cry Taka came her vaginal wall clamping around Ryu's pole like a vice as he erupted deep into her womb as Dori screamed out her own orgasm from both Taka's 'cleaning' and the resonation of her sister's orgasm.

"Slice... er..." Taka said after a minute of hard panting "Worth it." She spoke mentally getting a giggle from her sister and a chuckle from Ryu as he moved the three of them to the bed the twin's limbs too weak from pleasure to support themselves.

"Glad to get such a glowing review." Ryu returned making Taka smile happily at him now being able to communicate with her mentally as well "I don't know about you two, but I'm bushed."

"Sleep sounds good," Dori agreed with a cute yawn that Taka matched.

"Very good." Taka added as they snuggled up with Ryu content smiles on their faces and passed right out with Ryu not far behind.

***Lemon is over, safe to look kiddies.***

Next Morning

Ryu sighed contently as he awoke feeling the warm bodies of his two new 'girls cuddled up next to him their bare breasts pressing into his chest as their heads rested against his shoulder as his arm wrapped around them gently. The new bond he shared with him told him they were still sound asleep dreaming of a continuation of last night's events making the swordsmith blush slightly as his erection throbbed back to life "Oh quiet you." He whispered to it as he slowly extracted himself from their grasps and climbed out of the bed ensuring that he didn't wake the twins as they instinctively moved into each other's grasps.

Smiling slightly he dug through his pack and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a muscle shirt and got dressed before grabbing his sword and wrote a quick note for the twins before stepping out of the room and headed to the workout gym. Each Pokecenter was fitted with a workout room rated for even Amachamps for both Tamers and Pokegirls, although for the most part even most serious Tamers only use the treadmills or cycles to help build up endurance for traveling long distances. A couple of Tamers and Pokegirls were in the gym and only spared him a glance as he entered and headed to an open area meant for practicing katas.

He unsheathed his sword and stared at the blade for a minute before taking a deep breath and moved into his first stance, he stood his torso twisted so that his left shoulder was facing the front his sword in his right hand parallel to the ground his knees bent as he leant forward. He took a quick step forward that looked more like a slide he moved into what would have been his opponent's blind spot and took a quick slash before taking a quick 'slide' step back his sword moving into a defensive position in what would have blocked an enemies counter strike.

His next slide step put him behind his imaginary opponent cutting at their lower back in a cut that would sever the spine,he ducked under an imaginary retaliatory strike while slide stepping behind the imaginary opponent's turning strike he struck low at the opponent's hamstrings. He continued in his movements unaware that his practicing had drawn the attention of the crowd. With a final slash he moved back into his starting position a light sheen of sweat covering his body as he lightly panted from the exertion. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath and released it relaxing his body once again as his muscles loosened and the flow of adrenaline in his body ebbed and stopped as he calmed down.

"Impressive," A feminine voice stated behind him once he was fully calmed down making him turn his attention to an attractive dark-skinned woman with short dark brown hair and ruby colored eyes wearing a tight leather jerkin with a pair of similar leather hot pants with knee high heeled boots standing next to a man around Ryu's age with a shaved head and a dusky tan with sharp blue eyes wearing what looked like to be a pre-Sukebe military fatigues "I don't think I have ever seen a sword style like that one before."

"I highly doubt you would have," Ryu informed respectfully "It's a style I've been developing since I was a boy."

"Continual disabling or lethal attacks from the enemy's blind spots," The man murmured appreciatively with a thick pre-Sukebe Russian accent "A lot harder than it sounds. I'm Yuri Sputnik of the PLC special Navel forces. This is my partner Tessa."

"A pleasure." Tessa greeted with a slight bow, she had a similar accent to Yuri's, only less thick.

"Ryu Hisanaga," Ryu greeted sheathing his sword a returned Tessa's slight bow "And I'm just a swordsmith from Hakuma Town."

Yuri nodded his greeting as Tessa stepped forward "If you don't mind me asking, would you mind sparring with me?" She requested.

Ryu opened his mouth to reply only to be cut off as his connection with his 'girls informed him that they were awake "Master?" He heard Taka call out her mental call slightly bleary telling him that they just woke up.

"I'm in the training room," He informed mentally "Why don't you guys clean up and join me?"

"Okay Master!" Dori chirped cheerfully making Ryu chuckle as he received a mental image of her dragging off the still waking Taka who was quite obviously not a morning person.

"Sorry about that," He said refocusing on the two before him "My partners were just wondering where I disappeared to." Yuri and Tessa gave him a strange look but passed it off as him having a telepathy capable Pokegirl on his team "As for your request to a spar it would be my honor, although I must ask we use wooden swords."

"Yes, that is understandable," Tessa agreed as the pair moved to the sparring ring where they selected a wooden weapon, Ryu noted that the one Tessa chose was a rapier and took a classic fencing stance against Ryu's own "What is the name of your style?" She asked as they stood at the ready.

"Shadow Step." Ryu answered settling into his opening stance just as the twins entered the training room, thanks to their mental connection they knew what he was doing and didn't panic, although they did look a bit nervous. Closing his eyes Ryu focused on the most critical part of his Shadow Step, the adrenaline. In order to attain the perception necessary to not only perceive, but take advantage of, an opponent's blind spot the middle of battle, not an easy feat.

He had researched possible ways to start the body natural production of adrenaline outside of high stress situations and trained himself to activate it at will leading to him having acute control over it in battle. Pushing air out of his lungs he opened his eyes as time seemed to slow, yet speed up, around him as Yuri declared the fight starting.

He and Tessa circled each other for a few seconds Ryu content to wait for her to take the first move. Eventually her patients wore out and she stepped forward in a stab with her rapier only for Ryu to sidestep with a sliding-like step as he attempted to move into her blind spot only for her to follow his movements and strike out in a series of rapid slashes and stabs that Ryu deftly dodged or knocked away.

He lashed out quickly with a pair of slashes to her shoulders only for her to sidestep past each of them before blinking in surprise as his arm sped up and landed a solid blow on her midsection making her grunt slightly before lunging out with her rapier hitting him twice in the chest before he managed to break away panting heavily.

Before Tessa could continue her offensive Ryu stopped her by holding up a hand as he panted heavily "Sorry, I'm at my limit," He said as he panted heavily "Shadow Step was never meant for long engagements, longest I've managed to use it was 10 minutes."

Tessa blinked in surprise as she stared at the panting Ryu "Oh, I see," She replied gathering herself together "Thank you for the spar, it's not very often I can meet a human who can keep up with a She-Captain like myself."

Ryu laughed hollowly as he felt his limbs burn "Tell that to my body," He groaned "It's screaming at me like a fishwife."

There were chuckles all around as Tessa rejoined Yuri and Taka and Dori joined Ryu "It was a pleasure to meet you," Yuri said as he and Ryu shook hands "I wish you luck in your travels, if you ever want a job with the PLC let me know."

Ryu chuckled as they released hands and watched them leave the training room before turning to the twins "Sorry if I worried you this morning," He apologised to the pair scratching the back of his neck looking slightly embarrassed "I typically get up early in the morning for training."

"It's alright master," Dori chirped the sparkles in the air around her matching her cheery mood "Taka takes a while to get going in the morning anyways." Taka grumbled something unintelligible as she folded her arms across her chest and pouted looking adorable with her not quite being awake "Besides, we wanted to have our shower with you," Dori continued in a tempting voice "Do you want us to... clean you Master?"

Ryu could only chuckle as he placed an arm over their shoulders pulling them close as they headed for the door "Sounds like a fun time to be had by all," He informed grinning "Shall we my lovely ladies?"

Primer Entries

Bloodgifts

Soul of the Smith

Shows up in a person with a strong ancestry of weapon using Pokegirls, often times focused on one particular type of weapon (i.e swords, bows, spears), and causes the person to have an innate understanding of the forging process and 'black out' as they are about to begin forging only remembering snippets of what they are doing, such as the percentages of materials used or surprising events.

Rarity: Extremely Rare

Bloodcurses

Berserker

Shows up in a person with a strong fighting-type or easily angered (i.e Gynadose) pokegirl ancestry, whenever the person feels high levels of stress from battle or loss they will go berserk their stats tripling, but they lose all regard to friend or foe killing everything around them, while in this state a dramatic shift in personality occurs with some seen laughing psychotically or foaming at the mouth while doing so, sometimes both, a rare few become mentally 'blank' so to speak not saying anything and coldly cutting down everyone in their paths. It has been noted that the person doesremember some of what happened and how they react upon the knowledge is dependent on the type of person they are.

Evolves: Seraph (Valkyrie-based winged Armsmistress only; Angel Stone), Warrior Nun (Amazonchan/Amazonlee-based Armsmistress only; Angel Stone)
Evolves From: Amazonchan (works on it's speed), Amazonlee (works on it's strength), and Valkyrie (Dawn Stone)

Amazingly human in appearance; only distinguishing feature that sets them apart from 'normal' humans are the fact that the vast majority of all Armsmistresses have red hair and green eyes, barring regional variances. Their busts do increase from their previous forms, but usually only by a half-cup at most.

The Armsmistress is a hard-to-attain evolved form of the Amazonchan and the Amazonlee. They come from either form since it seems to be when an Amazonchan and Amazonlee balance their speed and strength.

They are more human appearance than the three stages of the Amachop (Amachop, Amachoke, Amachamp) and often better fighters than Herochans and Heroines. This is because Armsmistresses are incredibly skilled fighters, ranging from hand-to-hand to fighting with any form of weapon. (Preferably swords).

Armsmistresses are unparalleled armorers, and each creates her own armor shortly after evolving. The armor of an Armsmistress is also highly sought out by Tamers. The combination of intricately molded steel and leather is incredible in its quality. Few attacks can barely even scratch it. This armor typically reflects the personality of the Armsmistress who crafted it, though armor created for others can be created with their tastes in mind. Few Armsmistresses will ever craft armor for anyone but themselves, however, making these extremely rare.

Even then, the armor is never quite as effective for another as it is for the Armsmistress herself.

Armsmistresses will only remove their armor for Taming. They are perfectly comfortable sleeping in their armor, and tend not to favor post-Taming cuddling, preferring to get back into their armor as quickly as possible. An Armsmistress outside of her armor loses a considerable amount of her strength, and is generally safe to tame without restraints. They become paranoid about attacks when unarmored, however, partially accounting for their low libido. They are more willing to "let down their guard" with a Tamer they trust, which can raise their libido significantly. Armsmistresses will only bathe if dirtied by outside conditions, such as mud and the like, and still prefer to do so while armored, if possible. Armsmistresses have an unusually efficient internal cooling mechanism, allowing them to engage in strenuous physical activity without sweating. They do tend to breathe heavily during these activities, as their circulation system is similar to that of pre-Sukebe cheetahs, though more refined.

Armsmistresses that evolve from Valkyries, called Malakim in some Leagues, are extremely rare. In the wild one can tell if an Armsmistress evolved from a Valkyrie from a simple fact. They have wings, and can learn Flying-type attacks. (This however, has caused many Tamers to mistake an Armsmistress for a Valkyrie and vice-versa).

How to evolve an Armsmistress from a Valkyrie however, is still a complete mystery.

Due to a peculiarity on the part of an Armsmistress' maternal instincts, they cannot fight feline-like Pokégirls. Instead they show great maternal affection towards the feline-types. This is believed to be related to their cat-like circulation system, indicating that Sukebe may have used trace amounts of cheetah DNA in their creation, resulting in unforeseen feelings of kinship with feline Pokégirls.

CATGIRL, the All Purpose Perceptual Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human Animorph
Element: Normal
Frequency: Uncommon
Diet: human style foods (enjoys fish and milk products)
Role: Assumed to be the first evolution possible
Libido: Average (becomes High monthly at New Moon)
Strong Vs: None
Weak Vs: Fighting, Ghost
Attacks: Leap, Kitten's Roar, Fury Swipes, Glare, Foresight, Agility, Double Kick
Enhancements: Enhanced Speed (x2), Enhanced Agility(x3), Enhanced Senses(x2), high hand-eye coordination, night vision
Evolves: Cabbit (orgasm), Housecat (normal), Griffon (Angel Stone), Cheetit (Cat E-Medal), Cheshire (Psi Crystal), Shaguar (Ice Crystal), Tigress (battle stress), Catfish (Water Stone), Mistoffeles (Mana Crystal)
Evolves From: Kitten (normal)

Catgirls are not an exceptional improvement over Kittens. It's very strongly speculated that the Catgirl may have been the very first evolution ever designed into a Pokégirl, and as such, is not very spectacular, though not many people would complain, given that Catgirls definitely look slightly better from their pre-evolution form.

Catgirls gain roughly half an inch to an inch in height, a quarter of a cup-size, their leg muscles grow stronger, they gain nightvision, and their tails usually increased an extra foot or two. Most Catgirls seem a bit more grown up in terms of maturity, but it is an irritatingly difficult quality to define and does not change their overall personality, though some actually become more mature, and display a bit more zest and exuberance than when they were Kittens.

Because their leg muscles are stronger, a Catgirl is usually a third faster than they were as a Kitten, though this can go as high as two times as fast. Her agility is often quite a bit better and it's believed that their longer tail may help them maintain their balance better, though, like many things about them, it is inconclusive.

The average Catgirl will find that she can learn kicking or leg-based attacks much easier than most others. As such, a Catgirl can sometimes be a good training partner for an Amazonlee (though rarely a Herolee), and are often good friends with them, which in turn, make them feel slightly disdainful against Amazonkapoeera, though this feeling is not as intense as an Amazonlee's.

Outside of her speed and kicking techniques, about the most impressive things about her are her ability to learn Kitten's Roar and Foresight naturally, giving her a wider base of attacks than most normal Pokégirls.

Catgirls often get very randy around the New Moon for some reason though researchers are still trying to find out the answer to this question, though until now, nothing conclusive has been found out.

KUNOICHI, the Ninja Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Normal/Dark
Frequency: Common (in Edo League), Uncommon to Rare (all other Leagues)
Diet: omnivore, prefers human style food
Role: spy
Libido: Average
Strong Vs: Dark, Ghost, Psychic
Weak Vs: Bug, Fighting
Attacks: Smoke Screen, Vanish, Throwing Star, Quick Attack, Shadow Dash, Hazy Vision
Enhancements: Enhanced Speed and Agility (x4), Enhanced Senses (x2), Enhanced Strength (x2), Enhanced Endurance and Durability (x2), Stealthy, Night Vision
Evolves: Cheshire (Cat E-Medal), Kunimitsu (Fox E-Medal), Karima (Diamond Stone)
Evolves From: Ninjette (Level 15)

Towards the middle of the war, while the human armies were being decimated left and right, Sukebe created this breed. First given the mission of searching out and destroying small encampments and given anti-ambush roles, the Kunoichi graduated as the Ninjanezumi suffered- their Very Near Human state made them much more capable of passing as human women and getting past human guards with ease. Once given their mission to assassinate certain people- human generals, admirals, and even certain actors that Sukebe hated, the Kunoichi were practically the best at their field that the world had ever seen. Or never seen, perhaps, until after the war was over. Information about them was, however, gained during that latter part of the war from disaffected Ninjanezumi that were tamed by the first Tamers, but it wasn't until about 12 AS that the first recorded Kunoichi were captured.

This breed was originally created to fill a niche. Whereas the Ninjanezumi had proven squeamish in comparison to the other Pokégirl types and some had even been captured by the humans before fulfilling their missions, and the Cheshire had been created from Catgirls, the mad scientist himself took it upon himself to create a breed that could blend in with humans, act and talk and physically look like a human woman, but was in all other ways superior. The end result was the Kunoichi. Their actual capabilities, although somewhat less than the Ninjanezumi, ironically made it easier for the Pokégirl to imitate human women. Although not designed specifically for battle, the Kunoichi are also well equipped to fight in one. Their natural stealth capabilities, as well as her enhanced senses, speed, and agility often allow the Kunoichi to evade long enough for an opening to appear, and then to quickly capitalize upon it. Kunoichi prefer to attack from the shadows, and rarely battle straight out in the open in keeping with their style.

Most Kunoichi average in height somewhere between 5' and 5'7." They usually can be found in the same size as equivalent human woman of these heights, but their breasts are most often somewhere between a B-to-C cup in size. However, several have been documented both with smaller and larger breasts regularly, which makes this a rather diverse breed. Although most Kunoichi do prefer to wear tight fitting and not-so-revealing clothes, it has been documented that they do prefer to wear clothes that allow them to blend in with the location that they are in. In modern times, Kunoichi have been well known to get along with Seamstress Pokégirls, and generally prefer to get their clothes from one whenever possible, rather than from a department store. However, even if attempting to pass herself as some other Pokégirl by disguising herself, a Pokédex can pick out a Kunoichi in hiding easily.

Kunoichi have rivalries with two different Pokégirl breeds. One is with the Cheshire. Their areas of expertise are identical, and this rivalry is more often common friendly rivalry, rather than one where each Pokégirl would want to destroy the other in battle. Researchers suggest that Cheshire and Kunoichi should not ever be in the same Harem at the same time, however, as each one will attempt to out-do the other in all ways, including taming. Taming both at once has only yielded one Tamer who managed it... and he wound up trading both away within a week afterwards, swearing to stick to Low libido Pokégirls from that moment forward. According to research done, Kunoichi can even evolve into a Cheshire through the use of a Cat E-Medal, although very few Kunoichi will allow this.

In the Edo league, Kunoichi also have some rivalry with Ronins. This is likely because of the difference between the two Pokégirl battle ideologies. Whereas a Kunoichi is subtle and more of a supportive Pokégirl, the Ronin are in your face and full out attackers. Ronin actively pursue the rivalry, while the Kunoichi try not to encourage it. This leads to Ronin being annoyed by the lack of participation, and encouraged to try and provoke a Kunoichi at any given opportunity. As a result, Researchers also suggest that Tamers not have both in their harem at the same time, unless the two Pokégirls are used to one another and some semblance of respect between them is obtained.

NINJETTE, the foppish in-training ninja Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Normal
Frequency: Very Uncommon to Rare
Diet: Normal Human Diet
Role: Kunoichi-in-training
Libido: Average
Strong Vs: None
Weak Vs: Fighting, Magic, Ghost
Attacks: Sleep, Leap, Leer, Throwing Star, Bellyflop, Metronome, Fake Bunshin (*), Partial Bunshin (**), Full Bunshin (***, Only at Level 14 or higher)
Enhancements: Ninja techniques, high regeneration
Evolves: Kunoichi (Level 15), Kunimitsu (Fox E-medal), Ninjanezumi (trigger unknown)
Evolves From: None

A Ninjette is a pre-evolution to Kunoichi, Kunimitsu and a Ninjanezumi, but unlike pre-evolutions, a child of any of those three Pokégirls may randomly be born as a Ninjette. Strangely, a threshold girl with any of those three Pokégirls in their bloodline has a much higher chance to become a

Ninjette than the domesticate child of any of those three Pokégirls.

Once of taming age, Ninjettes stand between four foot and five feet tall. Their breasts rarely go above C-cup, but are even less likely to remain an A-cup. Their eye color can be any color, including white or lavender, and they may or may not have visible pupils (i.e. their pupils may match their irises). Their hair color ranges across the rainbow.

If they evolve into a Ninjanezumi or a Kunimitsu, they will take on the general physical attributes of those Pokégirls; but if they become Kunoichi, they can gain between one and two feet in height and their breasts typically can grow to E-cup (though almost never bigger unless Bloom Powder or Milktit milk is involved).

Ninjettes are not bad fighters, provided they've either been properly tamed (if of taming age) or properly motivated (if under taming age). What will properly motivating a Ninjette is as random as their Metronome attack. Ninjettes love adorable things, and will not attack any 'cute' Pokégirl unless said Pokégirl is acting aggressively. Some may become so obsessed with cute that they may temporarily forget how to use Throwing Star because they don't like the smell of metal.

When a Ninjette begins training for the first time, she will screw up. A LOT. However, unless verbally berated to the point of being emotionally damaged, most will continue their training diligently until they evolve. If verbally berated so badly, she will flee, seeking to become strong on her own.

But doing so is considered an enormous blunder. A Ninjette's core principles can be determined early in her training. An intelligent instructor can mold her to the point that not even the normal tendencies of her evolved states will affect her after her evolution, so a Ninjanezumi might be open and friendly or a Kunimitsu can be brash, loud and obnoxious.

Techniques that she learns through a T2 are not affected by this clumsiness, but a Ninjette has a strong aversion to the devices as using them causes a strong headache that refuses to go away for an entire week. During this headache, using any technique other than the T2 will likely result in her accidentally using Metronome or Bellyflop.

The Ninjette can use Fake Bunshin from the get go. This technique creates a small group of replicas of the Ninjette, but these are illusions, incapable of attacking. They vanish once attacked or if the user is struck. All of the Fake Bunshin will mimic the user's motions perfectly, even appearing to attack, but of course do no damage.

Perhaps the creepiest technique in a Ninjette's natural repertoire is the Partial Bunshin. The technique creates fifteen replicas of a single part of the Ninjette's body above them and their target, which rain down on both of them. The body part in question is random, but fully functioning and capable of levitation-like movement. 90% of the time, it will be replicas of the user's hands or feet, but 10% of the time, it will be replicas of their head or other parts. If it's the users hands, they can grab, punch, tickle, etc. as if they were attached to an entire body. A set of Partial Bunshin hands can even pin an opponent to the ground with the same force as the Ninjette herself could muster.

The Ninjette's Full Bunshin is perhaps the most useful. She can create up to two full clones of herself. Both have HP equal to the amount of PP used (the Ninjette can divert PP from other techniques to give them more HP). They cannot be captured by Pokéballs, and cannot use any advanced techniques, but are useful for distractions, ambushes, moving furniture, cleaning, etc. Each turn they're active, they lose 1 HP, meaning that they cannot last forever, but a smart Ninjette doesn't need much time. Once defeated, they vanish in a puff of smoke.

(*) Fake Bunshin - (EFT) This technique creates a small group of replicas of the user, but these are illusions, incapable of doing anything to affect the world around them. They vanish once attacked or if the user is struck. All of the Fake Bunshin will mimic the user's motions perfectly, even appearing to attack, but of course do no damage.

(**) - Partial Bunshin - (EFT) The user creates fifteen replicas of a single body part above them and their target which rain down. The body part in question is random, but fully functioning and capable of levitation-like movement. 90% of the time, it will be replicas of the user's hands or feet, but 10% of the time, it will be replicas of their head or other parts. If it's the users hands, they can grab, punch, tickle, etc. Each one disappears after being struck or after a number of minutes equal to the user's level.

(***) - Full Bunshin - (EFT) The user can create up to two full clones of themselves. Both have HP equal to the amount of PP used (the user can divert PP from other techniques to give them more HP). They cannot be captured by Pokéballs, and cannot use any advanced techniques, but are useful for distractions, ambushes, moving furniture, cleaning, etc. Each turn they're active, they lose 1 HP, Once defeated, they vanish in a puff of smoke.

Evolves From: Bunnygirl (stress)

A great number of times, girls go through Threshold without any real change, other than maybe getting a little sexier in appearance. When this occurs, they become a Pokégirl known as an Ingenue.

Ingenues are among the most tolerated form of Pokégirl, as they have no animalistic appearance or over-the-top attacks. Even in more anti-Pokégirl Rights Leagues, such as Indigo, Ingenues aren't as badly treated. Essentially, they're hornier humans, although you'll get a dirty look and the cold shoulder from any Ingenue who hears you describe them like that. Their Feral state is mild, leaving them in a state of distraction.

Ingenues are not combat-suitable Pokégirls. They are, however, extremely useful in domestic tasks or basic scut work. Frequently they can be found in stores, working as clerks or chefs. Some Ingenue owners also hide the fact that their girls are Ingenues in consideration for people who don't like Pokégirls. This is easy to do, since Ingenues do not have any distinguishing marks. Also, frequently Ingenues are employed to keep an eye on their ditzier cousins, the Bimbos.

As mentioned earlier, Ingenues are not combat-suitable Pokégirls. During the Revenge War, they were used as infiltrators, sneaking into human encampments and then either spying or, in rarer cases, triggering an evolution to Sidekick through means that were unknown until the discovery of elemental stones.

Some Bunnygirls evolve in Ingenues through stress, although the mechanism is uncertain. Some crueler people have said that forcing a Bunnygirl to use her brain will turn her into an Ingenue. Those people were given a wedgie and hung by their underwear from a flagpole. I am not making this up, there are several recorded incidences of this happening.

Ingenues are a fairly commonplace Threshold. Most girls who undergo a transformation into an Ingenue accept it fairly well, as all they get is a slightly increased libido.

RONIN, the Sword-Fighter Pokégirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Fighting
Frequency: Rare in Edo League, unknown other leagues
Diet: human style diet
Role: warrior
Libido: Low (increases when they find a Tamer that they like and trust)
Strong Vs: Bug, Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, Steel
Weak Vs: Flying, Psychic
Attacks: Bonk, Slash, Cut, Sword Dance, Focus Energy
Enhancements: Enhanced Speed (x3), Enhanced Stamina (x2), Can summon weapons.
Evolves: Samurai (Dawn Stone)
Evolves From: Slicer (normal)

Ronins are among the best Pokégirls when it comes to fighting with weapons. The role of Ronins in Sukebe's army was part of a special striking group, it was small in numbers, but very quick and strong, which made them hard targets and excellent fighters at the same time. After the Revenge War, however, the majority of the surviving original team of fighters relocated somewhere in the Edo League.

These Pokégirls were eventually found by the first generation of Edo-league Tamers to go out into the world after the end of the war. Most of these Tamers were found to be unworthy of Taming the Ronin, however, and a few Tamers were killed before the League got the idea. The Ronin dispersed, taking their training and ways to other parts of the league. A few may have even left the Edo league as well, but no matter where they go, Ronin are rare.

It wasn't until sometime in 254 AS that Slicer Pokégirls were discovered by a Researcher to evolve into a Ronin. Even after so many years, few Ronin ever bothered to show themselves to even worthy Tamers. With this revelation about the much more common Slicer's evolution into a Ronin, many Tamers have begun to tame and train their Slicers in an effort to evolve her into a Ronin. The Ronin, being rather legendary when it comes to their training and abilities with bladed weapons, are an honored addition to any Harem.

Depending on the level of the Ronin, it can summon different weapons. From levels 1 to 15, a Ronin can summon a shinai (a bamboo sword). From levels 16 to 30, they can summon a bokken (a wooden sword). From level 31 and up, a Ronin can summon a katana. When they can only use a shinai or a bokken, Ronins don't have access to the slash and cut attacks. A Ronin can only summon one weapon at a time. Ronin do not bother to use anything other than eastern-style medieval swords, finding other weapons to be inferior to any others that they might have used when they used to be a Slicer.

Ronins have an innate rivalry with Kunoichi. It is likely that because the Kunoichi were more successful during the Revenge War that this rivalry exists. However, it is also speculated that the reason is more mindset-oriented than anything else. Ronin live by their own code of honor, and believe that the Kunoichi's more 'sinister' and 'stealthy' ways are more dishonorable than anything else. Kunoichi, on the other hand, don't seem to see anything wrong with doing what they excel at. Ronin are direct, Kunoichi are subtle. The few confrontations between the two breeds have shown that the Ronin actively pursue this rivalry, whereas the Kunoichi try to let it slide. And so, the rivalry goes on.

Evolves From: Buttaneer (normal, high level), Piratit (normal, high level)

Buttaneers and Piratits are fine Pokégirls. They make a superb navy for either actual pirates or League naval forces, or even for a singular Tamer near the sea. Some even use Buttaneers and Piratits to crew luxury liners, the sea warrior Pokégirls serving as excellent crew members and protection against actual pirates on the open sea. It's when they become She-Captains that their value goes through the roof.

She-Captains take the natural ferocity of the more animalistic Buttaneers and the grace and natural skill of the Piratits, combining them into a total package that makes for one of the most formidable Pokégirl breeds in the world. If they evolved from a Buttaneer, they lose almost all of their animalistic appearance and become completely human, although they still retain the human equivalent of whatever unique features they had. The only animalistic part of them that remains is some scales on their neck which has their gills on it, allowing them to retain their amphibious nature. Aside from gaining a foot in height and a cup size in bust, there is little to distinguish them from your average Very Near Human-type Pokégirl in terms of appearance, their hair usually hiding their scales if left long.

She-Captains, in terms of personality, become much more calm and collected than their two previous forms. They gain an increase in intelligence and the ability to better calculate strategies and tactics in battle. They make excellent Alphas for harems on either land or sea, although they are most effective when on the open ocean. Like their two previous forms, they can be used readily on land, although they will be somewhat melancholy and depressed unless they are on the open ocean. This is far less pronounced than their previous forms, however.

She-Captains have a lot of powerful abilities. They retain/gain the ability of Piratits to manifest any one of three weapons their choose to master (but ONLY those three) in either singular or double form, as well as their ability to sniff out treasure. However, like the Piratit, they have to write a mystic rune on the weapon they want to be able to summon and/or replicate. They also retain/gain the ability to control wind and water magic that Buttaneers have, only on a much more powerful scale. She-Captains also gain the ability to teleport from one seagoing vessel to another by melting into the hull of one ship and emerging through the hull of the other. Doing this more than ten times in a day wears them out greatly, especially if they take someone with them (no more than one at a time). They must also have space to emerge, so if the area they appear in is small enough, they cannot manifest fully. Once worn out, they must wait ten weeks before they can use this ability again. What makes them especially valuable to both Naval and Pirate forces is their ability to pilot any sea-going vessel, be it an old pirate galleon, a luxury cruise liner, a high-tech submarine, or even a tiny dinghy. (As an amusing side note, 'a tiny dinghy' is also favorite insult most She-Captains like to use on most Tamers they do not like. They think it's funnier when the Tamer DOESN'T get the joke.) So skilled are She-Captains at piloting sea vessels that the only real way to sink one when a She-Captain is at the helm is to attack it.

She-Captains are best suited to the Alpha position. Their strong, domineering personality makes it extraordinarily difficult for them to accept leadership from anyone else other than their Tamer, whom they refer to/think of, as their 'Admiral.' She-Captains in the Navy tend to be better able to keep their crews in line than Pirate She-Captains, although both work well together, just in different ways. They are very protective of their Harem-sisters and/or crewmates, and are usually found in the thick of battle with them, barking orders around. She-Captains near or in a Feral state are usually twice as aggressive and rarely give orders that make sense. Their preferences in Taming do not change from their previous form, although they tend to start preferring clothing 'more suited to their rank.' An odd personality quirk common to most of the breed is that they all want a big hat of some kind and are somewhat edgy about letting people touch their hat.

As a side note, the warning about putting Pirate Pokégirls and Ninja Pokégirls in the same harem applies even more in this case. While Piratits and Buttaneers hate most ninja breeds (a feeling which is returned), She-Captains refuse to tolerate their presence at all unless their Tamer can give them six DAMN good reasons why. (They ask for six because it's less likely they'll get the reasons and get to attack.) This rivalry between the pirate breeds and ninja breeds is so intense that only Taverngirls are allowed into certain areas of the Ruby League and Edo League, due to high ninja breed concentrations. Taverngirls are the only evolution of pirate Pokégirls that can tolerate the presence of ninja Pokégirls, due to their generally mellow nature. (Covered further in the Taverngirl entry.) No cases of Threshold into a She-Captain have been reported.

Manifest Weapon (Singular) – (EFT): She-Captains, through use of a magical rune they place on any three weapons they choose, can summon that weapon to their hands from anywhere in the world.

Manifest Weapon (Double) – (EFT): She-Captains, through use of a magical rune they place on any three weapons they choose, can summon that weapon to their hands from anywhere in the world and replicate it, allowing for double-weilding.

Evolves From: Ronin (Dawn Stone)

Up until the discovery of the Dawn Stone, no one knew how or why a Ronin becomes a Samurai, even though researchers ran test after test, to no avail each time. It was a longtime frustration for researchers everywhere, but it's still regarded as one of the more important research topics out there, and that is for one very special reason.

When the first Samurai was discovered, a Pokéwoman in her 60s that was living in Edo with her Tamer, she slew over 200 Team Shogun agents, tanks included, with a single Zanmato. This was also was how the Zanmato attack was first discovered...

Very little data is available on the Samurai as those who have them tend to be unforthcoming with good reason, seeing as Samurai are among the most powerful sword-type Pokégirls alive.

When a Ronin evolves, they gain a foot and a half in height. Their hair grows up to twice as long as it was before, and their bust size increases. An interesting trend though is the fact that some Samurai appear to age when they evolve, adding about ten years to their looks but not affecting their actual age. Another oddity is some also lose the use of one of they're eyes (higher chance of the left over the right). The chances of these changes occurring are less than 10%, with sometimes one, the other or both happening if they happen at all.

To a Samurai, their primary duty is the protection of their Master. As such, it is not uncommon for the owner of a Samurai to be found with her constantly following him, almost always on his left side and a step or two behind. When in a harem, the Samurai will gauge her harem sisters carefully, especially of she, or they, are new to the harem. A begrudging amount of respect is initially given only due to the fact that they have the same Master, but until a harem sister proves herself in the Samurai's eyes, she will not be completely trusted. The only exception to this would be if the Samurai was in the harem prior to her evolution, then she would retain the trust and respect she had for her harem sisters at the time.

For the most part, a Samurai tends to keep to herself. Either practicing katas as part of her daily routine, reading or writing Haiku, or even just conversing quietly with her Master or trusted harem sisters over tea. However, if there is an obvious power vacuum due to the lack of an alpha, or she sees the current alpha fail in her duties to protect the master, the Samurai will contest for the position, usually in a duel that only ends when one or the other is unconscious. Should the Samurai become Alpha, it is said that this is when the breed truly shines. With the power of Alpha, many samurai begin to aggressively train their harem sisters, both as individuals and as a team. Her primary concern is still the protection of their Master, and this is something she tries to in still in the others. Most Tamers find her methods to be both effective and fair, never asking more than an individual is capable off but always pressing them to push further than they believe they can. Another quirk of become Alpha, is that the Samurai will also start planning strategies, either by herself or with her Tamer to maximize the harem's potential and power.

In public, or in front of the harem, a Samurai is always calm and collected. When certain they have privacy, a Samurai undergoes a 180 degree turn in terms of personality, unable to get their clothes off fast enough in their desire to be Tamed, their libido rising to the point where it could be compared to a Vixxen.

Samurais can summon, a natural magic ability, any sort of Japanese sword they desire in any style and design. Their preferred weapon is a daisho set, a katana and wakizashi. Other weapons have included the Odachi (great sword) and the Kodachi (short sword). They are masterful swordswomen, the best in the world. Ronins will always respect and look up to them, as they consider the evolved Pokégirl as the perfect sword fighter. They also have the ability to summon up their armour of choice. Each samurai have a personal preference to the amount of armour they wear. Some chose to don the complete suit of armour, covering themselves head to toe, while others only use partial sets and some even forgo armour all together in favour of more speed and movement. The actual colours and designs are varied, but one thing is for certain, if the Samurai's Tamer possess a mon, or personal crest, it will always be proudly displayed either on the shoulders, the chest or on a personal banner on the back of the armour.

The Feral state of a Samurai is very light, much like that of an Ingenue, insomuch they seem, as they are constantly distracted. It's a little more dangerous than that, though as a Samurai will become fascinated by the way the light plays off their sword blade and will move it about randomly to try and get random effects. No reports of a Threshold transformation have been reported, and seeing as it's incredibly rare for a Samurai to appear in some way to begin with, it's unlikely there will be.

AMACHOKE (aka WRESTLER), the Muscle-Bound Pokégirl

Type: Humanoid

Element: Fighting

Frequency: Uncommon

Diet: human style with mineral supplements

Role: physical Labor, particularly in construction

Libido: Low

Strong Vs: Bug, Dark, Ice, Rock, Normal, Steel

Weak Vs: Flying, Psychic

Special Weaknesses: Can't swim, prone to narcissistic behavior

Attacks: Body Slam, Toss, Crushing Punch, Takedown, Tackle, Pose, Headbutt, Focus

Enhancements: Enhanced density (x2), Enhanced Strength (x16), armored skin

Disadvantages: Low speed

Evolves: Amachamp (normal)

Evolves From: Amachop (normal)

When the Amachop evolves into an Amachoke, she gains roughly three to four feet in height, more muscle mass and has an increase of one to two breast sizes. Their increased muscle mass keeps them from being able to swim, meaning they should avoid deep water at all costs. Because of her massive increase in height and muscle, she is actually slower as an Amachoke than when she was an Amachop, though overtime, as she adjusts to the massive difference in height, she will slowly regain some of her speed, but she will remain slower because of her new size.

An Amachoke is often very arrogant. Most feel that her great strength and hard body make her superior to all other Pokégirls. Some may even feel that those weaker than themselves are unworthy of taming them. Because of this incredible arrogance, it's during this evolution that many tamers will abandon or try to trade away the Amachoke. Others will push their Amachokes along in an attempt to get her to evolve into her final form. Some tamers have tried to bring the Amachoke's arrogance down by denying them the ability to work out, but this is considered a very hazardous technique to try and is likely one of the major reasons why those tamers wind up in intensive care.

In fact, some researchers have postulated that the reason an Amachoke requires so little taming is because working out may be a form of masturbation for them. Of course, a tamer who knows massage techniques and has strong enough fingers may find their Amachokes more willing than others.

Amachokes are less dangerous than most other feral Pokégirls, as they have a very mild feral state, which only lowers their intelligence a bit. Otherwise, their personality is almost completely unaffected.

Of course, there is a loophole to this arrogance: if her tamer gained her trust when she was an Amachop, an Amachoke is far more likely to respect them and allow them to continue taming her. And if the tamer was training alongside her, she's also going to be just as loyal as she was before.

Amachokes have big appetites. Not as monstrous as a Snorlass, but large nonetheless. This is because an Amachoke's body burns through calories at an accelerated rate. In fact, it's quite possible that an Amachoke cannot actually become fat, regardless of how little she trains, even though she loves training so much that such an occurrence is an impossibility.

Unless a tamer knows that they have a comparable strength, restraints are a MUST when taming an Amachoke.

SLICER, the Swordswoman Pokégirl

Type: Very Near Human

Element: Normal/Fighting

Frequency: Uncommon

Diet: human diet

Role: fencers, frontline fighters

Libido: Average

Strong Vs: Normal, Magic

Weak Vs: Ghost, Psychic

Attacks: Slash, Swordwave, Deflect, Counter

Enhancements: Proficiency with any bladed weapon or anything longer than one foot.

Evolves: Gladiatrix (Round Stone), Valkyrie (battle stress), Ronin (normal)

Evolves From: None

Slicers appear to be like normal women with some small deviations. Their average height is between 4'8" and 6'1". Their hair colors are generally a random color, but generally within the primary, secondary or tertiary colors. More common human hair colors like silver, grey, brown and black are actually quite rare among Slicers. Their irises are generally a solid color with the pupils being a slightly darker variant of the iris color. This may throw people off at first, as most people are used to seeking black pupils in eyes.

The main oddity amongst 30% of all Slicers is that their arms and fingers may appear thin and delicate, but remain as strong as normal arms. This can sometimes be quite the surprise to opponents, who believe the thinner arms means they are weak.

Slicers are adept at using any weapon that can be wielded with one or two hands, but most prefer using light-weight swords, such as rapiers, short swords or even daggers. When it comes to sword mastery, they are second to few, save their evolutionary sisters, Herowu and Armsmistresses. Unlike Amazonwus or Herowus, though, they do not lose their fighting skill while feral. Instead, they lose confidence. A Feral Slicer is more likely to run if disarmed or caught off guard.

The difference between the Feralborn and domesticate born is that the Feralborn usually have to find a weapon. Most wind up with a branch, but some have been known to steal weapons from towns. Tamers can sometimes get a feralborn Slicer to join them by offering a sword as a gift. Domesticates generally save up money and buy their own sword, but getting the weapon enchanted can be quite the turn-on for any Slicer.

If a Slicer's weapon of choice breaks, she usually mourns it as most people mourn friends. Most ferals and quite a few domesticates will insist on a proper burial for the weapon. The only times when she does not request a burial is if she believed the weapon to be inferior (i.e. a branch she grabbed simply because it was close, but it only blocked a single attack before breaking).

While their attacks can affect Ghost or Psychic Pokégirls, they take double damage from psychic or ghost attacks.

Once a Slicer (or any swordsman) achieves a certain level of mastery or skill, they can use a Swordwave. This technique is similar to a vacuum cut. In layman's terms, it's a force that can cut or tear without the need of contact between solid matter. Swordwaves can also be used to knock people out. Swordwaves can be used with any weapon the user can swing, even if it is not a sword or even a traditional weapon.

SHIELDMAIDEN, the Defensive Pokégirl

Type: Very Near Human

Element: Psychic

Frequency: Uncommon to Very Rare

Diet: human style food, with the exception of red meat

Role: bodyguards

Libido: Average

Strong Vs: Fighting, Poison, Psychic

Weak Vs: Bug, Dark, Ghost

Attacks: Reflect, Harden, Foresight, Telekinesis, Armor, Shield, Tackle, Bellyflop

Enhancements: Psychic abilities, armored skin

Evolves: Barriermaiden (Cunnydew nectar)

Evolves From: Ingenue (Psi Crystal)

Shieldmaidens looks like ordinary girls with an exception. They have a strange tattoo that appears on their forehead. It's exact design can vary from concentric ovals to four triangular shapes in a diamond pattern (each triangle pointing in one of four directions, up, down, left or right). Shieldmaidens differ on whether or not to cover it up, but those who do cover this tattoo generally do so with a bandanna.

The first strange thing most people notice about a Shieldmaiden (tattoo aside) is what is known as the "Sparkly" effect. When a Shieldmaiden finds herself attracted to another person, they subconsciously create a minor barrier that traps and condenses moisture in the surrounding air, creating a small rainbows and sparkles of light. Unless she is in a low humidity area (such as a desert region), this is quite noticeable.

A Shieldmaiden is a very useful Pokégirl to have around when it comes to preventing accidents, as her ability to produce force fields can prevent some rather serious damage. Unfortunately, they don't have many attacks at all, even at higher levels, so they can be frustrating to use in combat, even if they are inherently better than the Damsel when it comes to fighting. In fact, they're so bad at attacking physically that if they attempt to use Tackle (one of their only attacks until much later), there's a 15-30% chance that they'll end up using Bellyflop by accident.

Many Shieldmaidens, startlingly enough, like travel and exploration. Some researchers see this as a counter-intuitive nature, believing that Shieldmaidens, as a defensive Pokégirl, would want to stay in one place. However, their assumptions do not change the fact that many Shieldmaidens still like traveling.

One common trait that does make sense, most researchers state, is that the Shieldmaiden is often quite possessive of her lovers. While this is not as strict as a Neo-Iczel, she will become quite furious if her chosen lover happens to be a Pokégirl her tamer just traded away. In most cases, the tamer will relent and get their lover back, but those that don't will usually find that the Shieldmaiden may go "missing"... permanently.

Some Shieldmaidens take to carrying actual metal shields to amplify their Shield technique. The size may vary depending on her confidence or need. Most who carry shields will carry medium-sized kite or oval shields, some will carry tower shields, and very few will carry a buckler. Where they get these shields can vary. Those with poor tamers may salvage metal and use their telekinesis to forge a crude shield, while those with richer tamers will have them made.
