It was about twenty minutes later that Redd walked out of his room with his shield over his backpack, when asked why he was wearing it by Tia and Sarah; having seen it when he fought against that Mantis, he simply responded that he felt like having it out.
And so with his four girls in tow went down the hall and knocked at Chimps room; room Seven and Kuina coming to the door saying that her lord was still resting, when Caleb asked if they could come in, then Mandy calling out that he was already up that she permitted him entrance.
A quick good morning and they were back out the door to lean against the wall to wait for Chimp to come out for breakfast. Ten minutes later and the door opened to reveal Redd's pervy companion and his two pokegirls; Mandy instead of wearing Chimps cloak was wearing some short-shorts with an orange and red shirt and a hole cut thru for her tail.
Kuina was wearing nothing at all, well that was a bit much; true she didn't have clothes on like he did or Chimp; she was wearing her armor, which could technically count as clothes, her chitin armor made her decent at least, like she was wearing a one piece bikini; Redd figured that Chimp didn't have the credits for clothes for both Mandy and her.
A short walk to the cafeteria had the group of eight in line to eat with Caleb claiming a table at the patio for those tamers who had Plant type pokegirls who only needed to sun themselves to stay healthy.
Saya divested of her clothes and laid face down in the grass; when she did this Redd watched as she sunned herself for a minute; she was a plant type so what she was doing would keep her healthy. Did that mean he'd have to water her like a real plant too? He thought about it and looked into his Pokedex about caring for plant types; specifically on Boobisaur and her evolutionary forms, when he saw Mandy come over followed by Sarah; he closed his dex and got up to get himself a plate.
It was when he was piling up his plate that he heard some of the hushed whispers of the other tamers whispering to other tamers and their pokegirls to their tamers, he expanded his sense of hearing.
"Hey man, check it out! Isn't that the guy who killed a Mantis by himself and then caught a Buzzqueen like the next day?" A guy from one of the tables near the beginning of the line whispered like it was some greatly coveted secret.
Redd could tell it was a guy from the deepness of his voice.
"Yeah that's him, I heard from one of the Watchers here, that he and that other guy near the window at the patio that they survived some freak thunderstorm in Starter half a month back. Maybe he used that shield on his back to survive it?" Another guy whispered back pointing to the shield on Redd's back, then to Chimp who was having Kuina feed him a banana with a smile on his face as she serviced him.
"You mean that was him too!?" The first shout whispered to him. A nod was his silent response.
"Whoa, that's pretty amazing dude. Does he have a blood gift?" He asked his companion who swallowed his food to reply.
"From what he said when he first showed up here, they don't just high thresholds for pain, that's scary man, do you think he did some kind of conditioning to not fry when thousands of volts of electricity is shoved thru his body?" The second guy theorized.
"Seriously? Who, no better yet, why; would anyone have to do something like that, it's not like thunderstorms striking someone happens daily anywhere." The first guy questioned his companion.
'Well when you're training an Electric dragoness to master her fury attack you'd be surprised how often the bolts of lighting aim for you.' Caleb thought to himself as he walked back with Tia as she got some trail mix and Pokechow meant for Joltina's and sat down to eat. 'And that was while I had cover.' He thought with annoyance at no matter how far back he was in the room it seemed that the bolts just wanted to cook his butt just for the fun of it.
He got back up to get a drink with Elizabeth doing the same after setting her plate down, as they walked together to the juice station and got some grape juice then made their way back to the table and began to eat.
Before he sat down he set his shield to the side of his chair and began to eat his food.
"Hey Redd?" Chimp called out once everyone had gotten a plate, he looked over at Chimp as he kept on glancing between Kuina and him. Caleb gave a gesture that told him he had his attention.
"I'm not sure, but I think I'm feeling Kuina." He informed him as Kuina just sat with poise, keeping her wits about her as she listened in not speaking up on the issue; she wasn't being spoken to, so she'd remain silent until addressed.
"Dude, I don't want to know that you're coping a feel on your Killerbreast! Keep that kind of info to yourself." He said in annoyance about Chimp being pervy with his girl and his apparent desire to let him know.
Chimp looked confused for a second before he realized the innuendo of his own comment.
"No not like that! I mean that she's just sitting there and I can almost tell how she's feeling." Chimp explained as best as he could.
Caleb widened his eyes a bit and thought about what this was; Redd remembered something about this from his test to become a tamer and then it was mentioned again when he scanned Kuina in the hive, it was after he looked into his dex and read the history on Killerbreasts that he realized what Chimp was trying to say.
"O~h, you must have a Delta-bond with her then." He said after actually reading her history and not skimming thru it like he did the first time; then returned to eating his breakfast.
"Well what does that mean?" He pursued further trying to find out why he could feel her.
Redd thought on how to put it and after a moment longer he came up with what he believed was the closest to the case.
"Well my guess is that when you tamed her, you both became slightly physic to the other, you can't read her mind per say but you can get a general feel for what she's thinking." He explained as best he could.
At Chimp's confused face he tried a different approach. He took the same test as he did he should know what a Delta-bond meant; even if not much was known in the first place.
"Like a solider needs a commanding officer to know how he should advance in battle, you are her commander, or 'lord' as I heard her call you when I came to wake you up." Chimp got what he was trying to say at that.
In the wild if a tamer was to steal a Killerbreast from a hive and then released her the Killerbreast would try and escape and return to her queen and she'd know exactly where to go no matter how far she was taken from her hive and queen, in a way a Delta-bond was like a compass for her, it would guide her back home should she be forced.
When Chimp got it Caleb fell into his own thoughts on the matter, he was curious about what it meant to have a Delta-bond with his girls and if they wanted one with him; of course not much was know about Delta-bonds or the more in-depth bond, the one known as Recognition; apparently it was in essence a soul mate kind of bond and if a tamer ever got this kind of bond he or she had to retire from the taming life.
Redd as far as he was concerned he'd be alright with a Delta-bond with any of the four girls or even any girls he may catch in the future but Recognition, he was a bit cautious, not for the part of having to retire from being a tamer because he didn't want to be a tamer in the first place; he only took it because despite the perverted reasoning's it was a good argument on Chimp's part.
Another thirty minutes later they all had their fill they left the cafeteria, once Caleb picked up his shield and strapped it on his back, and went to the front desk; Nurse Joy was at the desk doing some work on the computer and just went to the picture phones that were just beside her against the far wall.
"I'm just going to call Professor Oak right quick you guys, I shouldn't be long." He said as Chimp and his two girls took a seat and Redd's girls did the same. Redd looked into his dex and found Oak's number in the contacts area, and punched in his digits, the words 'Ringing' kept flashing by on the screen in different sizes and in different places as he waited for Oak to answer; after the third repeat of the cycle of 'Ringing', the screen flashed showing Betty sitting in a chair on the screen with a small pleasant smile on her face in the living room from the background.
"Hello? Oh Caleb it's you!" She answered and after seeing a familiar face, brightened her smile.
"Good morning Betty, is Oak around, I need to speak with him right quick?" He said after greeting the Peekabu; seriously the tech of this world couldn't possibly become old anytime soon, all his world had for talking over long distances' was messenger falcons, and while they were a good mode of delivering a message nothing beats speaking face to face with the recipient; metaphorically speaking in this case.
"Yeah just a moment he's in the lab." She said before she hit the intercom he guessed and called down to him.
"Professor Oak, you have a call." She informed him speaking into the microphone then another picture came up showing Oak on the left side of Betty's picture, with Oak on the left; Oak still wearing that white coat of his.
"Yes, hello? Oh Redd, so nice to see you again, tell me what have you been up to since you and Chimp left Starter?" He greeted then questioned him.
"Everything's good on this end, we're actually about to leave Logue town, I won my first gym battle yesterday, and I figured I'd drop a line and ask you something while I had you." He told them seeing as Betty never closed her end of the picture phone, and decided to talk to both of them, even if Betty may decide to just listen in; she was pretty cool in his opinion and felt no harm from it.
"Sure ask away." Oak said as he leaned back a little in his chair, intertwining his fingers together on his stomach.
"Actually it's probably less then nothing, but I came across an Ar-Tit that had an Ever Stone and was wondering if you had one or if it was a come across one by accident kind of thing?"
"An Ever Stone? Why yes I do have one on me," He said as he unlaced his fingers and opened one of the drawers behind him and pulled out the small silver stone for him.
"Did you want to keep your Eva from evolving?" He asked as he set the stone down and looked back at his screen.
"She already evolved into a Joltina two days ago, I'd just like to have an Ever Stone or two incase any of my girls don't want to evolve in their evolutionary chains." He stated to them.
"That's not really surprising, just because we have an evolutionary form, doesn't always mean we want to be what we could evolve into." Betty said as she nodded her head at that; she was glad that she would need a Thunder Stone to evolve, otherwise she'd need an Ever Stone as well.
"Well if you're asking for an Ever Stone, and you're Eva has evolved already, that means that you've caught a new girl, what'd you catch if you don't mind me asking?" Oak stated then queried.
"Not counting Sarah, my first caught feral was a Boobisaur I named Saya, and then a few minutes later three FlowerGirls, and the next day I traded the FlowerGirls for Elizabeth, my Buzzqueen." Redd told the two on the phone. They both widened their eyes at that, had a full sized harem only to trade a few of his pokegirls and got a Buzzqueen, it was just shy of a full sized, but the Buzzqueen made up for the two empty pokeballs he had seeing as she was a high libido girl.
"Wow!" They both said at the same time with wide eyes on him.
"Oh wait, I forgot that I also killed a Mantis about two weeks ago." He told them. If their eyes widened any further they'd pop out of their heads he was sure of this; they weren't going to try and correct him and say he had one of his girls do it, cause really all he had was Tia and then Mandy with Chimp, and neither of them could've handled a Mantis as starter girls.
"Caleb do you realized what you've done?" Oak asked him with awe.
"I killed a menace level pokegirl?" He questioned not seeing the issue in killing that Mantis on his own.
"Exactly, not even veteran bounty hunters of that breed can say that they can do that without help from one of their stronger girls." Oak clarified to him.
"What was her Exp level?" He asked him.
"Um I think she was level 28? Yeah it was 28." He thought back on his fight with the man eating pokegirl, and recalled her level.
"That's a record you know." Betty said as she came to her sense. The record for handling this particular breed was: two high level pokegirls and their tamer as they picked apart the pokegirl, Lvl 23 before the killing blow was delivered by the tamer.
"Yeah, but I doubt anyone will ever top this; fighting and killing a Mantis on their own." Oak replied to Betty as she realized he was right.
"Ignoring the fact that there's competition on how bounties are done, back to what I asked about, is that the only Ever Stone you have?" He tried to redirect the conversation to the reason why he called.
Oak shook off the astonishment and took another quick look thru the drawers behind him and then the one's of the desk he was sitting at.
"Yes, this one is all I have. If you want more talk to Nurse Joy at the Pokecenter, they usually have some on hand." Oak said as he picked up the stone he did have on him.
"Well how am I going to get it? I could as easily come back for it but that's time wasted on my part." Redd said seeing as he was in Logue but the stone he wanted was back in Starter.
Oak raised an eyebrow at that and remembered that he wasn't from this world and didn't know of all the advances they had.
"You're still at the Pokecenter right, then I can teleport it to the Joy there so you don't have to turn around and come back to Starter." He said as he got up from his chair, the monitor doing the same as it followed him to the machine used for teleportation.
He put the stone on the platform in a glass case and closed the door then typed a few things on the panel and then a picture of Joy showed up on the screen for the teleporter. Some pleasantries between the two as Oak told her that he was sending an Ever Stone for Redd to receive, and then Redd watched as the stone slowly started to glow before it disappeared from view.
"And there you go; the Ever Stone should be there in a moment." Oak said he sat back down. When he did so, the door's to the back opened up and out came an assistant to Joy with the Ever Stone; she left the stone with her before returning to her own duties.
"Co~ol, Thanks Oak, Betty your both awesome!" He complemented them with a grin.
"You're quite welcome Caleb." Both Researcher and Pokegirl welcomed in return.
"Well thanks for the stone we'll be in touch soon, I'm on my way to Griffon city for the next gym past it, so I'll call again at the Pokecenter." He told them as he got ready to hang up.
"Don't forget to not catch an unwilling member of the pack, which includes any Catgirls you may find, their also considered part of the pack to the dog breeds." Oak warned him, knowing that there was a known pack in-between Logue and the next town Griffin.
Redd just nodded his head remembering what Strich warned him about and hung up the phone. While this was happening Redd's girl's were listening in on the conversation he was having with Oak; seeing as it wasn't a hushed conversation and it was just idle curiosity, at the part of him killing a Mantis on his own Elizabeth widened her eyes at that and eyed her harem-sisters and Chimp's two girls.
Tia, Sarah and Mandy didn't react to the news, while Saya did as she displayed amazement at the knowledge, while Kuina kept the same silent visage over her 'lord' but obviously heard the conversation as she looked at his back as he spoke then put her full attention back on guarding Chimp.
Elizabeth concluded that this was common knowledge amongst the group and asked for details from Tia; she was a bit disappointed to hear that none of them witnessed the fight as they were only in hearing distance and that when it was all said and done he came back after a plea for mercy.
Back with Caleb when he was finished with the phone he got up and went to the front desk, Nurse Joy looked up as he walked over to her and greeted him.
"Good morning Redd. I believe you're here for that Ever Stone?" She asked as he nodded and while he did that she reached over for the stone he requested from Oak.
"That and I'm turning in my key for room 5." He told her as he pulled out the keycard and accepted the stone from her as she took the keycard from him and placed it on a different hook that had 'To be cleaned' on another board from the 'Ready for use' one.
"And do you have any Ever Stones available?" He asked her when she turned back around to face him.
"Yes sir, it'll be 20,000 credits per stone though." She informed him as he put the one he got from Oak in his bag.
"Can I buy two stones then?" He asked her as he pulled his dex from his pocket.
"Why yes, that'll be 40,000 credits then." She accepted his dex and after opening it, scanned it and his wallet shrunk by 40,000. Three million, Seven hundred seventy-one thousand, two hundred fifty-nine; that's how much he had left after his purchase's since he came back with Elizabeth and providing for her and Saya's everyday clothing needs, and buying supplies for traveling; she first handed back his pokedex then typed in her computer something, and a few moment later, her assistant came out with the two stones he just bought; Redd accepted them both and thanked both of them and put them in his backpack with the one he got from Oak.
'K, I now have the forest badge, a direction to go, four sexy and almost constantly horny pokegirls, and three Ever Stones incase one of my girls or I don't want them to evolve a certain way; yep this was a nice step back into civilization.' He mused to himself as he walked back to his group.
"Chimp, did you turn in your keycard already?" He asked as he sat down at the far end seat with Elizabeth on his left; looking across the way to Chimp who took the same seating arrangement with Mandy on his right, with Kuina standing slightly behind and to his left.
"Yeah I did when you were on the phone. That was Oak right?"
"Yeah I got an Ever Stone from him and told him about what's been happening since we left Starter." He said as he intertwined a hand with one of Elizabeth's and gave a squeeze, she returned the squeeze and turned a little to press her bust into his arm. Chimp watched as Elizabeth pressed her bust into his arm and stared as her right breast conformed to the contours of Redd's arm and went down the line, Saya's D-cup, then Sarah's C-cup, and then Tia's B-cup busts; then eyed his two girls bust in comparison, Mandy and Kuina both with a B sized bust each.
'It's just not fair; Redd is getting all the busty pokegirls while I'm getting the smaller ones.' Chimp thought with a little depression and envy that his two girls were on the small side. What he forgot was that Kuina was feeling his emotions, from their Delta-bond with each other.
She was coming to the conclusion after working out what had him down when he eyed the busts of Redd's harem, then the busts of his own. With that she took a knee catching the attention of the others as she bowed submissively to Chimp.
"Please forgive me my lord for not having big breasts like that of Redd's harem." She begged for forgiveness at not being bustier than she was. It took a moment but Chimp's brain processed what she said and responded to that.
"I never said anything about being down about your bust. Was it our Delta-bond that told you what I was feeling?" He asked her checking this being bonded to someone thing that Redd explained to him at breakfast. Kuina didn't raise her head but answered him.
"Yes my lord, I saw you comparing our busts with that of Redd's harem and felt you depression at not having busty girls like he does." She answered and explained to him with her head still bowed in deference. He didn't know what to say at that not that anything could be said as Caleb cleared his throat to address the bust difference in harems.
"Chimp it was by chance that I have busty girls like them." He said as he gestured to his four girls as they puffed their chest out in pride at having big breasts; even though they all were jealous of Elizabeth's breasts as they all watched her breasts bounce and jiggle with her breathe intake and exhalation.
"If you want a bustier girl, then stop screwing around when we're out in the wild, and go find and catch a feral pokegirl. Then again, I've seen you do nothing but rest when we do chill for a break. I don't know how often you tame your two girls, but try and pace yourself better and not just have sex with them all day, like I'm almost sure you've been doing." He lectured him as he had an eyebrow raised at how Chimp was envious of how he was getting the busty girls while he wasn't, it was his own fault; he never left their camp site when they set up, he'd just chill and watch grass grow, not literally but he didn't do much so he tried to encourage him to actually do what he had been doing; getting off his butt and looking around. His words lit a fire in Chimp as there was a fire of determination in his eyes as he epically rose from his seat.
His rise had Mandy blinking as his demeanor changed from depressed to determined; Kuina feeling the shift in emotions picked up her head and watched Chimp.
"You're absolutely right Young Berserker!" He shouted out with his sage voice, with his cloak and beard on and he was epically holding his staff up in the air as if to direct a great crowd of followers.
His shouting ended up drawing the attention of the other tamers in the lobby as they stopped what they were doing, and wondered what he was shouting about.
"I have been slacking in the ways of Chimp and have not shown the pokegirls the pervy path to enlightenment!" He shouted from a pile of stacked up chairs he moved before standing at the top of it with a strange heavenly light shining on him, with white feathers descending on him.
'Please forgive me, all you feral pokegirls,' Redd thought to himself as he too watched Chimp make a spectacle of himself in the lobby; with Nurse Joy fearfully asking him to come down before he hurt himself.
'For I fear that I've unleashed a perverted dumb-ass unto you all.' Redd shook his head at this and rose from his seat as Chimp was ranting from the top of his self made mountain.
"Dude stop your ranting and get down from there so we can leave." He ordered him as he looked up the mountain of chairs. Chimp did so and when he came back to ground level he was beardless, but had his staff still and was wearing some baggy jeans and a tan colored shirt.
After that episode of madness they the Pokecenter, once Chimp moved the chairs back to their proper places. As they walked thru the town, people were giving the group a look of awe as if they were prophets sent to prophesy the end of a horrible evil brought onto them.
Chimp wallowed in the admiration, while Redd was curious about it all; some hushed whispers told him it was the two Buzz breeds and how he took a menace level pokegirl on his own, it wasn't new news so with that he just walked on with his party to the towns exit; a nonchalant expression on his face.
They had just crossed the towns exit sign and walking on when something caught Redd's attention; he stopped waling in mid-step, even as the rest of the group moved on, Elizabeth holding a conversation with her harem-sisters; and Mandy and Kuina both had an arm around Chimp's left and right respectively as he walked on.
He put his foot down and looked over at one of the trees to his left as it was what grabbed his attention; it was just an average looking wild grown tree that grew in the wild, it's leaves were green with branches reaching out providing shade to those that may come to sit under it. At first Redd's facial expression was nonchalant, then inquisitive as he looked at it, then it was a little scrutinizing as he gave the tree a once-over.
'Something's not right about this tree; it feels like this tree is...looking at me?' He thought to himself as he sensed a pair of eyes on him from the tree; but saw no eyes on it. He reached a hand up to pull down his diamond lens to see what it was that was watching him; he just go a hand on a lens when a voice called out to him.
"Redd, what's the hold up back there?" Chimp called back when they all finally realized that he wasn't with them when he asked him a question and got no response after the third time of saying his name, and turned to see him looking at a tree to the side of the road.
Caleb for his part glanced to his group as they all turned to look at him, then back to the tree as it still 'looked' at him. With the hand still up he scratched his brow as he turned to them and gave a smile.
"Oh you know just enjoying nature don't worry, I'm right behind you." He called up to them. Chimp shrugged at that, his two girls continuing on; Redd's girls slowly turned and did the same, not wanting to leave their tamer behind.
When he was sure they weren't paying attention to him he looked back at the tree again; he still felt like it was watching him but in curiosity.
'Well, I don't feel any malevolence from it, so I guess I can let who, or whatever this is be.' He said to himself and gave a smile and a two finger with a thumb wave goodbye with his right hand and ran to catch up to the others; his shield slightly jostling with his backpack as he sprinted to the group.
"Hey now, such insolence in leaving me behind like that." He yelled up to them not meaning it as he ran up to them with a smile. Seriously all he did was stop announcing his presence and they didn't even realize he wasn't there anymore, how rude of them.
"Sorry Redd, I hadn't realized you weren't with us when you first stopped to stare at a tree. What was so special that you had to stop and stare at that tree anyway?" Chimp asked as he looked over at Caleb as he walked with him and their harems.
"Oh just noticing that it was a lemon tree and it would start producing its fruit later in the year." He told him as his girls gathered around him and grabbed a limb and brought him closer to them as they walked on.
Chimp accepted the response knowing that he liked lemons and was into nature a little, and turned back to the road.
'No need to tell him that someone or thing was watching me, best to cross that bridge later if I have to.' He thought to himself as he headed onto gusty plains with his party following.
Back at that tree, the area around it shimmered and revealed who was hidden there, as it stepped out a little into the road. The figure stood seven feet, six inches in height, it had fur in varying shades and stripes of red and orange, giving the appearance of being living fire, its hair was unkempt in a wide flowing mane that stretched down it's back, a tail longer than it's legs and appeared very prehensile as it swayed back and forth behind it, a pair of large E-cup breasts adorning her chest, an outfit consisting of a black leather halter-top and a pair of form-fitting shorts, cut high on her legs allowing maximum freedom of movement.
"He saw me?" She spoke to herself watching the tamer who apparently saw her thru her illusion. She had only planned to prank the citizens of Logue by changing out the towns supply of shampoo with various dyes and put itchy powder in their clothes when she first showed then as she was about to begin, he walked by and saw her even though she was using her greater invisibility abilities.
"How...unexpected." She licked her lips slowly and sensually as he disappeared in the horizon; rubbing her thighs together to try and quell the desire to tame with the tamer who seemingly saw her when she was hidden.
"Maybe once I'm finished with this prank, I'll go look for him." She laughed to herself with a devious smile as she reapplied her invisibility to carry out her prank.
At that moment Redd shivered, violently; in the grip of Elizabeth and Sarah as they continued to walk.
"My king, are you well?" Elizabeth asked him feeling him shiver as if the ice cold hand of death was on him. Everyone looked over to him as he held himself a little; holding his arms at the elbows and kept on shivering a little.
"I don't know it just felt like Murphy got a partner in crime and that partner found me interesting enough to hunt me down." He said as he picked up his pace a little. It didn't feel malevolent in intention, just mischievous and that got him to be wary. If this partner was anything like Murphy then who know what pokegirls or creatures would start trying to eat him if it showed up in his presence; he already dealt with that Mantis since he showed up, so there was no way he was willing to deal with something else trying to eat him.
"Come on let's run or fly if you can, I only wanna see nature and perhaps the occasional feral, I don't want to turn and see Logue behind us. And this is the perfect time to try and handle the difference in how you move with your new collars." He said as he broke away from Sarah's and Elizabeth's grip.
They all knew what he meant by that, all that morning they'd been sluggish and unused to the resistance, a quick test run would help get them accustomed to the changes.
"Sarah, do you think you can keep up? If not just say so and I'll ball you for a bit so you can rest as we run." He said as he looked back at the Seamstress. She nodded her head and prepared for the getaway from Logue.
"Elizabeth, I want you in the back, to keep an eye on us if anyone falls behind shout it out and we'll ball whoever they are. You too Tia, cover her incase of an attack on her." They both nodded their head ready to serve their tamer; and took up positions behind the group.
With that he turned and dashed forward; and took up positions behind the group. With that he turned and dashed forward; the rest doing the same as the Red berserker, with Elizabeth flying in the back and Tia to cover her.
About a hour later after sprinting and full out running even for a few minutes, they stopped to rest all the pokegirls were taking deep breaths in and out trying to get oxygen into their lungs, they were sweating like they were after their orgies with their respective tamers; Redd and Chimp were slightly winded or Redd wasn't, Chimp looked ready to drop dead any moment now from not getting the air he needed; Redd was glistening at most and taking slightly bigger breaths in, but looked more relieved than when they were still in view of Logue, now it wasn't even a speck.
Redd wiped his brow as he sat that they were entering the gusty plains area; the trees were starting to thin out and turn into a open field with little to no coverage; then looked down to see the whole group and out and figured this was a well needed break.
"Seeing as you're too exhausted to move, I guess we can rest here for a bit." He said as they all just continued to heave for breath, but they all sat up against any upright surface to catch their second winds; Saya stripped her clothes off and began to sun herself in a sunny spot in-between the shad the branches and leaves made.
After a few hours had passed, with everyone doing their own thing he began to prepare some food for the party as he opened his wormhole and after a few trips he had enough of his food store to feed everyone that was hungry and dug a small hole for a fire after getting some fire wood and lighting it with some help from Mandy; fruit salad and regular salad for his vegetarians, some trail mix and Pokechow for Tia; specifically for Joltina's, and some beef stew with diced bits of meat in the pot, with a few ground up bay leafs, carrots, cabbage, onions, salt and peeper and some diced garlic; about an hour later had everything ready as they had all caught their breaths smelling the food being cooked by the red berserker and felt a little hungry from their little excursion from Logue.
"I didn't know you could cook Redd?" Elizabeth questioned him as she sat across from him and watched as he stirred the contents of the pot and occasionally adding more ingredients as he continued to watch the pot.
"What? You didn't think I could cook and that I'd have to eat you and your honey from now onward." He teased her as he bumped against her as he put the lid back over the pot.
"Actually yes." She sheepishly answered him, not denying the part about him eating her out. He shook his head at her honest answer but continued to watch over the contents of the pot.
"Well maybe sometime when I cook I should think about using some of your honey to glaze some meat or something, that way I can eat you out." He teased her. Elizabeth rubbed her thighs together in arousal at him using her honey in cooking food and started to leak some out of her slit for him when he did so.
Another few minutes later and a quick taste test had Redd getting a few bowls out and serving a portion to those who were omnivorous in appetite, and plates for the vegetarians, once everyone had a plate of food he served himself and ate as well. He was just in the first bite into his food when he heard the girls all hum in delight as amazing flavor hit their taste buds and complimented the chef.
"This is really good Redd, you really know how to cook!" Mandy said as she ate with great enthusiasm.
"Yes I had little faith that you knew what you were doing, but no more!" Elizabeth spoke up as she too was enjoying the prepared food.
"Indeed this fruit salad has flavor despite it being just salad mix and some fruit mix." Kuina stoically complimented him as she ate her salad with all the poise of a guardian.
"That's saying something, I don't really care for meat, but even I want a little of that stew with my salad." Sarah said with a garden salad but had a little taste for some of the beef stew he made.
"By all means Sarah, don't be shy, there's plenty for everyone here." He said as he passed her a smaller bowl with the stew in it. She accepted and ate some of the stew.
'It's better than they said.' She thought as she went back and forth from her salad to stew. Caleb felt pride that they were enjoying their meals as he continued to eat as well.
A few second plates later had cleared out the pot of beef stew and the salad's as he put it all back into his wormhole to clean later once a river was found and sat back against a tree in the shade licking his lips in delight at his own creation.
A weight on his chest had him looking down to see Elizabeth resting her head on him as she cuddled up to him; two of her arms resting on his chest.
"Thank you for lunch Redd, it was delicious." She said as she lied next to him. Sarah came up on his other side and cuddled with him as well.
"Yeah, thanks for the salad and stew Caleb." She said as she gave a sigh in content.
"That was the best food I've ever tasted." She continued as she sighed. Tia sat in his lap as he sat with his legs partially parted open; careful that her spikes don't hurt him.
"I'm glad that there was more to my meal then just the Pokechow, so thank you for the trail mix." She finished as she was grateful for the choice of nuts and dried berries or Pokechow.
Redd just basked in their gratitude as he took a deep breath in then let it out; blowing it into the air.
"You're all welcome, you all have your own tastes in food and I just tried to cover them all in what I prepared for you." He told them as they continued to hold onto him.
A few minutes later into the cuddling, Chimps voice broke the peace.
"Alright enough of the lovey-dovey time. It's time for me to go and catch a busty feral pokegirl." Chimp said as he rose to his feet ready to add to his harem; Kuina rising to her feet after him then Mandy after her.
"Sure." Redd said, not moving from his spot on the ground.
Chimp looked on as Redd just lie there.
"Well? Aren't you going to get up to come with me?" Chimp asked him as he just sat there.
"Uh no not really, you're the one trying to catch a 'busty feral' as you've said so you should do so on your own harem's strength." Redd told him as he remained on the ground.
"But don't you want to see how much more busty my girls going to be compared to yours?" Chimp tried to challenge him in terms of one's harems bust size.
He just shook his head at his attempt at challenging him.
"Nah, I'm too comfortable where I am to get up right now." He said as he stretched out; the three girls on him groaned out at him moving around; they weren't asleep, just comfortable, and didn't want him to move at the moment.
"Fine, stay here at the camp site, the next time you see me I'll have the bustiest pokegirl you've ever seen." He said walking off with his two girls following him.
"Sure, sure see you when you get back." He waved him off as he watched Chimp walk off. 'Huh, I feel like I forgot to tell him something important.' He thought to himself.
Chimp was fuming as he walked into the plains with his two girl following.
"That cocky berserker, thinking that I can't catch a busty pokegirl with my own harem, I'll show him." He grumbled to himself as he walked on in the field of grass, Kuina and Mandy behind him; both watching as he kicked a stone, that turned out to be more sturdy than it looked and tried to calm him down as he jumped around in pain holding his foot.
Rubbing his foot for a moment he sat down and folded his arms as he tried to calm down at the behest of his two girls as they were with him still. He gave a big sigh and then again for safe measure and once he felt he'd calmed down he opened his eyes to them.
"Thank you, I needed that." He said as he looked at them both; Mandy was smiling at him calming down, and Kuina just nodded her head in understanding that they could keep him calm with their presence.
He was looking at them when something stood out in the grass and snapped his attention to it. Kuina did the same; seeing her lord react to something behind them, unsheathing her swords from her wrists as she spun around to face whatever the threat may be.
Looking closer they saw that it had feline ears, tan colored hair that was un-groomed, and was napping without a care in the world; occasionally she would twitch an arm or leg as if she was running in her sleep, and had C-cup breasts as he saw when she rolled over onto her other side.
"Yes! Perfect! This catch is a steal, I won't even have to worry about battling her, and she's dead asleep." He said as he pulled out one of his empty pokeballs; it was still in the design of the standard ball, except his had a green cane on it in the red colored part of the top half in the same style as his cane narrow at the bottom and expanded as it reached the tip of the cane and curled into itself at the top to make a knot.
"Chimp aren't you going to scan her first?" Mandy asked as he prepared to throw it at the sleeping girl; he stopped himself mid throw and looked over to her.
"No, she might wake up if I do, I'll just scan her later once we get back to the camp and I can flaunt her in Redd's face." Chimp said as he threw the ball at the sleeping pokegirl it bounced off her head, just as she opened her eyes and got pulled into the ball and fell to the ground and wobbled back and forth; all three just watched it in suspense as it wobbled with Kuina with her swords still out incase she broke free and decided to attack her lord.
A few moment later it 'dinged' and stopped wobbling; Chimp walked up to it and picked up the ball, he looked it over for a moment with a unreadable expression on his face, before long a smile came across his face before he threw the hand with the balled girl in the air with a shout.
"Alright! I caught my first busty pokegirl!" He shouted with pride in his voice at catching a pokegirl so easily.
'The tamers test said I'd have to weaken her first before I try to capture her, she must've been really weak for me to catch her without having to fight her.' He thought to himself believing he could catch any pokegirl he wanted.
"Alright let's get back to the camp site, so we can welcome her to the harem." He said already walking in the direction he came from with Kuina dutifully following after him, and Mandy doing the same.
None of them noticed that multiple pairs of eyes, hidden in the tall grass saw the whole thing and were in hot pursuit of the thief of a member of the pack and would stop at nothing to get their pack mate back.
Back with Chimp as he practically skipped back to the rest stop of the camp to find Redd and his harem as he left them; Saya sunning but in a different spot as the sunny spot moved with the passage of time and Redd still against the tree with three of his four cuddled up to him.
Caleb opened his eyes at the sound of crunching grass under someone's foot and saw Chimp, Mandy, and Kuina approaching them, he shook the three on him as they dozed off on him; all of which groaned at being woken up from their naps.
"Oh the triumphant return." He sarcastically said to Chimp as he rose back to his feet as well, groaning as a few bones pooped with his stretch.
"Did you catch anything while you were out or did you come back empty handed?" He teased him as he looked at Chimp who had a smirk on his face at the question.
"Why yes, and while she isn't as busty as Elizabeth, she's still a step in the right direction, to having a bustier harem then you do." He claimed as he pulled her ball off his belt to show it to him.
"You wanna see her?" He asked as he held the ball to him.
"Nah, I don't really care if you girl is as busty as one of my own, just that you caught your own girl without my help." He said as he looked at the ball in his hand; his instincts were telling him that this balled girl was about to cause trouble.
"Oh come on, are you kidding me?" He complained.
"I didn't need your help with Kuina, so what do you mean by that?" He asked him.
"Dude, Kuina would've been my girl if I hadn't given you the choice of which of Elizabeth's former guards to take for myself." Redd pointed out Elizabeth and Kuina, as Elizabeth stretched out her arms; and Kuina stood behind Chimp still observing the byplay between the two.
There was a little nagging at the back of his head as he kept on glancing at the ball, but couldn't remember what it was; just that one shouldn't do it.
Chimp grumbled at that, he wouldn't have had Kuina if Caleb kept the choice of a guard for himself; but since he believed that he didn't need a guard, she would've been wasted on him.
"Fine! Let's hurry up and get to Griffin city." He took charge as he stormed past Caleb; while placing the ball on his belt. Caleb just nodded at that and turned to his girls.
"Ok girls, back into your balls for now and rest some more." He said as he pulled out their balls and returned them; they all went in without complaint and disappeared in a flash of red energy.
With all his girls comfortably balled he turned to Chimp as he tapped his foot on the ground for him to pick up his pace. They walked for a few minutes in silence before realization hit him.
"Hey what did you catch anyway, I don't recall you ever saying what breed of pokegirl she was." He said as he went over their conversation and not once did he say what breed she was; that nagging feeling returned as he walked in the plains and looked over and down to Chimp.
"I don't know what she is." He replied not all that concerned about the breed; only that she was busty. His response fired up his instincts as he stopped walking, Chimp a few steps later.
"Chimp, was the girl you caught in resemblance to a dog?" He asked with trepidation in his voice. Chimp heard the tone and began to get scared as well.
"No." That one word response calmed his nerves as he un-tensed himself;
'If he didn't catch a Dog or Cat type pokegirl then everything's cool.' He thought to himself as he nodded in relief.
"Good."
"She was feline." Chimp continued in describing what he caught. Chimp watched as Caleb narrowed his eyes and look left and right, then to the left again.
"We've been surrounded." He stated to him; it was quiet, too quiet. Only the wind was blowing, rustling the tall grass giving cover to whatever was hiding in it, and there weren't any birds chirping, it was dead silence in the open field the perfect sign that a fight was about to break out.
"Strich and Oak told me that dog breed pokegirls would come after their stolen member, but I didn't think they'd be on us so quickly." He stated more to himself than to Chimp.
"What do we do?" Chimp asked as he tried not to make any sudden movements that would spring the ambush on them.
"Why didn't you scan her before you caught her? I'm sure it would've said something about how feline pokegirls are sometimes pack mates with dog breeds!" He harshly whispered to Chimp as he reached into his bag for his multi-glove; noting the growling that broke the silence when he did so.
"I might have let the fact that she was as busty as Sarah go to my head that I didn't care about the details." He answered him as he didn't meet his eyes as he fastened his gloves on just incase things went down south.
"Let's just hope that one of the few intelligent feral breeds is in the group Chimp." Redd whispered to him. And looked out and shouted out.
"Alright we know you're out there, come out of hiding!" He yelled out; the silence held for another moment before about fifteen pokegirls stepped out of the tall grass walking on all fours, they all were covered in fur of various breeds and colors in their coats; even amongst those that appeared to be the same breed, some were bigger, more mature in appearance.
The one that caught their eyes was the one that showed up in front of them; red fur with black tiger stripes going down her back, arms and legs, blonde hair on top of her head, that was dirtied and spiked all down her chest, stomach and becoming longer and more pronounced, the way the blonde part of her hair gave her the look of having a mane like Tia did when she was still an Eva, and a bushy tail extended from her tail-bone; which was rigid as she didn't look happy, the snarl on her face said she wasn't amused.
She just growled out loud, and showed her canines to intimidate, they were more pronounced then the rests were and the pack followed their Alpha's lead and showed their teeth as they growled as well; not one of the girls growled toward him and figured since they were from the canine family they smelt their missing pack mate on Chimp and weren't paying him more then the necessary attention on him; Chimp became frightened by all the sharp teeth being brandished towards him as he trembled in fear; a ball opened up on his belt and out came Kuina as she took up post in front of her lord, her swords out as some of the pack backed off in shock as the sudden appearance of Kuina startled them out of their intimidation, then shook it off and continued to growl.
"Kuina, what are you doing out of your ball?" Chimp asked since he didn't call her out.
"I felt your fear and let my self out to serve as your sword or as you shield; however you wish to use me, my lord" She informed him as she squared off incase of an attack.
"Alright Chimp, carefully reach for that balled girl and let her go, that should be all their looking for." Redd calmly said as he looked around him, after Kuina showed up trying to keep the peace between his party and that of the pack; none of them had moved from where they were since Kuina showed up. Chimp looked to Redd as he kept a calm head as he looked at him, urging him to do so.
Chimp just grumbled at having to free the only busty girl he caught, but reached for her ball; all under the watch of the alpha as she growled even louder when he moved his hand towards his belt, the rest doing the same perhaps believing he was reaching for a weapon of some kind.
The Alpha lessened her growls when she saw the pokeball in his hand; she gave a sniff into the air and lessened her growling and eyed the ball but still had the snarl on her face. She then gave a bark to silence the others of her pack as they all did the same as her.
Chimp let a sigh out when they stopped growling and opened the ball letting the pokegirl out; she emerged with a flash of light and once seeing her pack mates, ran behind the now obvious alpha; other members checked her out seeing if she was alright, once seeing she was unharmed they all resumed watching the tamers as they just stood in place.
"There you go, you have your friend back, now let us be." Redd spoke to the Alpha; he wasn't sure if she was able to understand him, seeing as he wasn't going to chance it and try to scan any of them to see what they were and if any had intelligence, but the fact that they were coordinated in this little ambush answered enough for him. She seemed to understand him and barked an order to the others as they all left the scene with the returned pokegirl, disappearing into the tall grass; the Alpha was the last to leave as she walked backwards into the field as well, keeping her eyes on Redd as he kept an eye on her too, the Alpha female knowing that he was an 'Alpha' as well, which was why none of her growls were directed at him.
Once her face disappeared into the brush Chimp let out a sigh at dodging a bullet here as this could've gotten ugly; and Kuina sheathed her blades but kept up her senses incase one of the pokegirls tried a sneak attack; although he would've gladly dealt with that again instead of the talk that was sure to be had with Caleb.
"I'm so sorry for this Redd, if I'd scanned that girl none of this would've happened in the first place." He apologized to him as he tried to avoid eye contact with him. Redd just shook his head at the apology.
He was grateful that things didn't get violent between them all.
"Don't be too down; I forgot to tell you about catching any canine or feline girls before you left so I'm partially to blame for this as well." He sort of apologized as well; what ever made him shiver when they were leaving Logue really threw him off as it made him forget to tell Chimp what both Strich and Oak told him.
"Oh well, at least no one was hurt, so lets just forget most of this event and move on." Redd took the lead and walked forward with Chimp doing the same, Kuina walking alongside Chimp as he never deemed it necessary to re-ball her. The sounds of nature soon came back to the area as the birds came back and sung their songs as they came across a river with some trees next to them; Chimp went to get a drink from the river.
"Let me see if it's safe to drink first Chimp." Redd warned him as he came up behind him and scooped a handful of the water and took a sniff to see if there was anything that shouldn't be in it was in it. He threw the handful he had to the side and got a glove out and after opening a wormhole pulled out two bottles and threw one to Chimp; which was intercepted by Kuina as she caught it for him.
Redd let his four girls out; everyone getting a cool drink of water and just relaxed.
"Go ahead and keep that bottle Chimp, you know I've got more then I'll probably ever use so what's one that I give out?" Redd said when Chimp made to give him back the bottle once he and his two girls thirst was sated.
Chimp looked at the bottle he had; it was one of Redd's custom ordered 'two servings' bottles that he used to sell his Chu Jellies to those who bought two servings, with a screw on lid with his three red streaks across the top of the lid.
"Uh, thanks man." He said feeling down still about not getting to keep that pokegirl he caught.
"Hey come on snap out of it, you'll catch a pokegirl sooner or later." Redd tried to cheer him up knowing why he looked so downhearted.
Chimp just nodded his head not looking too convinced that he'd have a harem like Redd's. Seeing that Chimp would eventually snap out of it; Caleb just turned back to the stream and opened his wormhole again and pulled out the pots and utensils he used to make lunch and started to clean his things, after putting a towel down to place the cleaned stuff; Sarah and Elizabeth coming to his side to help as they grabbed a dish and rinsed out the inside and out of the pot he used or the forks and spoons.
A little later had them finish, and just left the pots out to let the wind dry them and lied on the grass and watched the clouds pass by over head. Tia joined in on the threesome and lied on her back and watched the clouds with her tamer and harem-sisters, occasionally they all pointed out a shape they saw in the clouds Caleb got a laugh when he pointed out something that they didn't get, like; that one cloud that looked like a great white shark chasing another cloud that was in the image of a boy, or another one he pointed out that he swore looked like another cloud in the likeness of a human being sent flying after another cloud 'exploded/separated.
Chimp listening in and chuckling at some of the stuff he was reminded of as Redd shot off things that he saw in the clouds. It was later when the sun set a little more that Caleb got up and got the dried kitchenware and put them away, then pulled out his tent and set it up, seeing Chimp had already done so earlier.
It was just when he finished setting it up that he turned to address his harem; the tents were very easy to set up and break down.
"Before we turn in for the night, I want to appoint an Alpha." He said as that got all of them to attentively look to him, three of them wanting the position as his Alpha; Sarah wouldn't be able to handle the position because she wasn't combat suitable.
"It was with much thought in this, that I want Elizabeth to be my Alpha." He appointed her to be his Alpha. Elizabeth was overjoyed that she would be Alpha; it was a sound choice, seeing as she was queen over a hive of pokegirls, in which she commanded a whole swarm; therefore used to the position of leading others.
"Thank you, Redd. I won't disappoint you as your Alpha." She assured him as she gave him a massive hug, and then an Erotic Kiss he returned as well. When they broke apart he continued; Elizabeth watching from his side.
"Now there are going to be some things that will happen in the future as the harem grows, and even more when I eventually find my way back home, but we'll cross those bridges as we come to them." He finished as he turned to the other three of his harem; they all nodded in understanding.
"I guess that's it, so lets get some sleep, and I mean sleep, we're most likely still in the territory of those pokegirls, so the sooner we wake up to leave the better; I don't want to push it and upset the pack by staying too long." He warned them; he wasn't sure how big their territory was, so the less noise they made while in these plains the better.
That meant no taming tonight; and they all groaned in disappointment at that, now eager to get out these plains so taming wasn't restricted.
"Ok Redd, we'll see you in the morning." Chimp waved as he entered his tent followed by Kuina and Mandy.
Caleb asked Sarah to get out their sleepwear so they could turn in as well; one change of clothes later for them all, Redd just lied in his tent; Elizabeth on his left arm, snuggling his arm into her breasts as she made to get comfortable for the night, Tia on his right arm doing the same as Elizabeth, even thou her bust wasn't as big as hers, Saya behind Elizabeth again sleeping on her front side not able to sleep in any other position yet, and Sarah with Tia as she had her head on his leg.
They all dozed off one by one, all of them slipping into the realm of dreams; just before sleep could claim him, Caleb wondered about the presence he felt from that tree when he left Logue that morning, keeping his harem of pokegirls happy and tame, and of course; his family and friends back home.
'I hope all of you are holding up without me.' He thought to himself as his eyelids became heavy and went to sleep; dreaming of returning home and making it home for the pokegirls he hoped to bring with him.
