Our next stop was a city called Pallet. It only took us about a day to get their from where we were. Upon arrival, we set up shop next to the ocean. The next pokegirl on the list lived by the water.
It didn't take nearly as long as the pokedex said it would've to find the feral Pirouette training by the shore, then again I was searching non-stop.
The 'trained under the raging sea pokegirl'. It only took a half-hour of recon on the water/fighting type to determine where the title came from. She never set foot out the ocean. Push-up, weight lifting (which was done by lifting and hurling boulders), running laps, all exercises were dine in the water. And whenever a wave headed towards her, she charged it head on, as though believing she could slay it if she tried hard enough. Hell, I started rooting for her after awhile.
Truly a remarkable breed. And invaluable to my mission. I made the mistake of walking up and talking peacefully the first time. The result was me getting grabbed and thrown about twenty feet out to sea. On the second attempt, I challenged her in combat. She didn't seem fazed by my battling her myself.
This didn't end well either. I could use any weapons, I didn't half any that weren't built for lethality. In hand to hand combat I'm okay, but definitely not on the level of a Pirouette. Add to that that she was in her home terrain, and I was off balance in the water. She kicked my ass up and down the seaside.
Finally, me and the Bunny Girl battled the Pirouette together. Even as strong as she was, we had the numbers advantage. It still took a good twenty minutes to get her weak enough for the ball to capture her.
Next up was the Vixxen. An odd choice I know, but I planned on evolving her, same as the Bunny Girl. She was easy enough to find, just had to get to the feilds and follow the smell of sex. We found her almost immediately, her head between a Dog Girl's legs.
Admittedly, it would've been easier to catch her then and there, before she even knew I was present. But doing that would likely send her into some form of shock, to just appear inside a pokeball with no knowledge of how or why. Not only that, but based on the breed, I could only assume that interrupting a taming was to a Vixxen what a slap in the face was to a human. A social phopa at best.
So, despite my eagerness to get her and get the hell on with catching the next pokegirl, I waited and let th he Vixxen finish her fun out of respect.
Not that the Bunny Girl believed me though. She was absolutely convinced that I was stalling to watch the show. I can't blame her for assuming that, most human males would've followed that motive, myself included if not for the dire situation.
I sat facing the other way, not looking at the Vixxen's work once. A bit childish I suppose, but I wanted to prove a point. The look of confusion on the Bunny Girl's face when she realized that I really wasn't interested in seeing the two pokegirls go at it was priceless.
Roughly an hour later, the two pokegirls snuffed each other out, both barely conscious. From there I confronted the Vixxen, and had her caught easily. From her reaction to me, I don't think she would've actually put up much of a fight even if she could've.
Next we headed to a forest near the town I started by. The place was crawling with bug types, but they weren't what I was there for. It was about two days before we found what we were looking for: an Elf court. An Elf's mix of magic and plant typing would help greatly.
We waited a ways away from the court for a few hours until one of the Elves left for recon. I sent out the Vixxen, who immediately pounced. The Elf had the type disadvantage, plant vs fire, as well as a low pleasure threshold. The Vixxen's warm paws combined her two advantages over the El. She never stood a chance.
Not that she didn't try. She started firing arrows the moment she saw the Vixxen materialize out of the ball, and didn't stop until she was stripped and moaning from the Vixxen's touch. Even then, she tried using vines she summoned to lash the Vixxen off of her. This ended up providing counter productive for the Elf, as each lash actually made the Vixxen moan and go more wild on her.
It only took ten minutes to faint snd capture the Elf. Impressive as her abilities were, she'd need a lot of training.
The next catch was the easiest by far. A Cat Girl, found her in more or less the same area as I'd originally found the Bunny Girl. Again, I know it seems odd, but like with the others, I already had her evolution planned out.
It only took one kick from the Bunny Girl to knock the Cat Girl out, showing that either the pokedex had been underestimating how weak they were without training, or the Bunny Girl's training was doing wonders. Being an optimist, I choose to believe the latter.
The final catch wasn't even planned to be so. I knew I'd need more money than I had to get food and training equipment for the team, so I decided the quickest method of getting some would be to take down on of the pokegirls with a bounty on them.
After searching the pokedex for which one to bring down to get the most from, I realized that it would be a benefit to the mission to capture one of these bounty pokegirls. After deciding which would work best, we set out to find one.
It wasn't the easiest task we'd had so far, and took nearly a week and a half. Then, finally, we found one. A Medra, the silent dragon pokegirl. I confronted the Medra with the Bunny Girl, who I allowed to remove the weighted gear for this, as well as the Elf for ranged attacks.
I figured it was safe to use a few weapons with this one, her scales acting as a natural armor. Between my combat knife and pistol, the Bunny Girl's powerful kicks and trained speed, and the Elf's arrpws and summoned plants... we still got our asses kicked.
We did a little damage sure, but the Medra was something else. At best, we made a dent. At worst, all we did was piss her off. Luckily, we were able to get clear before she made a suit from our hides.
It took another few days, and about five failed strategies, to get the Medra weak enough to capture. The reward for capturing a Medra is roughly eight million dollars, SLC as they call it here. More than enough to keeps us going until the end of our mission.
It had taken a little work, but I finally had a team. Next step: training.
