Chapter Ten: Ripples in a Pond

25 miles from Miyoshi City

"BLARH!"

That was a sound that the group had become rather familiar with over the past week every morning as Sutura vomited up her dinner from the previous night. "I think we should get someone to check you out in Miyoshi when we get there Sutura," Ryu said in concern as he held her hair out of her face. "This much vomiting with no ill symptoms is not normal..."

"I could swear that I know what this means..." Sutura groaned "But I just can't remember wh- BLARH!"

"There, there, let it all out." Ryu soothed as he rubbed Sutura's back soothingly.

"Well, it could be worse," Jaden said, as he sat at the kitchen table of their Capsule House with Hikari and Rena, "Kaa-san could've started getting sick when we were days away from a nearby city, Miyoshi is just a few hours away from here according to the maps."

"Yeah," Hikari said, as she and Jaden played a game of Chess. "What could've been worse is that she got sick back when we still used tents rather these Capsule Houses. Would've been a nightmare to clean out the vomit..."

"BLURP!"

"Thanks for that image, Hikari." Ryu said sarcastically as Sutura's vomits turned into dry heaving. He pressed a damp cloth to her forehead as she leaned back into him. "You'll be fine Sutura."

"Man, I kinda feel sorry yet jealous of Sutura all at the same time," Taka stated as she watched TV with her sister the pair cuddled up.

"All that attention from Master." Dori agreed with a pout causing chuckles to sweep the room. "Its funny, I'm not all that disappointed in her being our Alpha... I think she fits the position perfectly."

"Agreed," Taka said smiling, "I was actually thinking Lea would get the spot, since we obviously couldn't share the position." She then gained a thoughtful expression "I wonder what our Kaa-san is doing now?"

"Probably kicking ass with Otou-san," Dori pointed out with a giggle. "You know how he is when he wants a challenge."

Taka giggled in agreement as Lea looked over from the chair she was lounging in in a lazy, yet somehow elegant looking, manner. "You two are strange." She decided shaking her head "Really makes me wonder about your family."

"They're even stranger!" Taka declared proudly.

"Ten times stranger!" Dori agreed before the twins descended into laughter once again.

Takeshi and Sayane were watching TV with the twins when the broadcast they were all watching suddenly cut out, with the official screen of an important news update. "What's going on?" Sayane asked.

"Must be important," Takeshi replied. "Hey, Ryu-san, Imouto, Jaden-san, I think something important might be happening!"

This grabbed the attention of the others, as they gathered around the room to watch the news report, as a news reporter woman appeared on the TV screen "We have breaking news arriving," the Reporter said. "Nearly 24 Hours ago, Takachi City was reportedly attacked by an as of yet identified organization."

"You think it could've been that Dark Empress person?" Jaden asked.

"Maybe," Hitomi said, "but why attack a city? They are highly defended, there's no way she could've succeeded-"

"According to reports, the entire city has been destroyed, and its 37 Million Inhabitants, killed." the Reporter said, causing the eyes of everyone in the room to widen.

"Th-thirty-seven million?!" Sokudo asked in shock.

"How could she have destroyed a city that large?" Miyuki asked.

"She couldn't-not without a lot of help," Takeshi said as his eyes narrowed. "The question is, who gave her that help? Or, if it wasn't her, who was behind it?"

"We now bring you to a live reporter on the scene." the Reporter said, and the image then switched to a man, behind him was what appeared to be a ruined city, in the distance they could see medical teams and PLC forces.

"Daisy, I am standing at what used to be the city limits of Takachi City," the Reporter said. "The entire city has been destroyed, what is left has been left in ruin. PLC Forces have arrived as quickly as they could to search for survivors, however only a handful have been found so far. We have managed to acquire some footage of the attack from a camera salvaged from the attack... be warned that the images you are about to see are unedited, and may not be suited for some viewers due to graphic content."

The screen then displayed what appeared to be a massive battle breaking out in the streets of a city, several Tamers were fighting off uniformed soldiers who had distinct military-like uniforms, and were supported by numerous types of Pokegirls. The battle continued to go well for the defenders... until a single man with silver hair arrived. He attacked the tamers, and practically slaughtered them all.

"Jesus Christ..." Jaden muttered. "That guy killed them like they were nothing!"

Takeshi and Sayane were staring at the screen-more specifically the man with silver hair. "No..." Sayane breathed, "...it couldn't be him... could it?"

"It certainly looks like him," Takeshi said. "But it makes no sense-he disappeared years ago!"

"Onii-san, do you know who that man is?" Hitomi asked.

"Yes," Takeshi replied. "Rumors abound about him. He is one of the few actual recorded successful Super Soldiers, and the strongest swordsman who ever existed... Sephiroth."

"I remember hearing about him, too," Ryu announced, his eyes not leaving the screen. "Killed another 'Super Soldier' named Cloud Strife and his entire Harem and believes Jenova to be his mother."

"Jenova?" Jaden asked. "Who's Jenova?"

"A Legendary Pokegirl," Takeshi replied. "Most official information about her is classified Top Secret, but rumors abound. It's said that she appears near scenes where calamities are about to or just have occurred. It's also said that some of her DNA was used in Sephiroth's creation, which would contribute to his belief that she is his mother."

"PLC at its finest, ladies and gentlemen," Ryu said with a grimace. "Giving us Legendary-related disasters one after the other..."

"We can discuss the flaws of the PLC later," Miyuki said. "Right now, pay attention to the broadcast-we need all the information we can get."

"We still have no news as to who exactly the attackers were," the news Reporter from before said, "However, some of us here have speculated there may be a connection between this attack, and the Team Crimson attack on Henka Port and the most recent battle at Hakuma Town-"

Then, the screen suddenly erupted into static, causing the others to blink. But very shortly, a new scene appeared on the screen, one with the image of a single man with long blond hair, wearing a white mask and wearing a black uniform, sitting behind a large brown desk, behind him was a large window which displayed a large jungle outside. "If you want to know who attacked Takachi City," the man said, "Then look no further. We take no shame in delivering such a merciful bullet to the head of a belligerent beast, and a malignant ideology."

Hitomi was incensed. "He destroys an entire city full of innocent people and calls it 'A merciful bullet?!'" she shouted. "Who the hell does he think he is?!"

"It was the death of fear and oppression, and the birth of freedom and hope!" the man said. "Children of Sukebe, you should rejoice! The blood of your oppressors will flow, and hundreds of years of tyranny will finally end!"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Edo

"Son of a BITCH!" Oscar shouted, as he tossed a beer bottle at the wall of a bar, missing the TV screen itself. "How the hell is that bastard still alive!"

Enya looked at Oscar in surprise, and in a bit of fear. She had never seen her Tamer and Commanding Officer so angry, he looked as if he were going to kill the next person who crossed his path.

"M-Master?" Maria, the Guntit who Oscar rescued one year ago at Henka Port, asked rather fearfully. "W-What is it? Who is that?"

Oscar looked at Maria, his face unreadable before he looked back at the TV screen. "A Man I should've killed a long time ago..." he muttered.

"A Reformation is coming, as a new day dawns!" the man said. "The old world shall burn in the fires of change, as a new world shall rise in its ashes!"

Meanwhile, with Ryu

"Self-pompous ass face is all he is." Ryu growled angrily. "Most likely gets off hearing himself speak, too."

"I am Zane Vi Crucible, leader of the Dark Angels!" The man, now identified as Zane, continued. "I stand for equality for all children of Sukebe! For years I have watched as people such as Seele, Trauma Team, Team Rocket and their clone factions abuse your powers... No More! Three Hundred years have passed since the Revenge War, and the world has not changed! The people, regardless of whether they are Pokegirls or Humans, still suffer! This is why the Dark Angels are necessary! This is why we brought the divine punishment against Takachi City, and all of the Seele Supporters who resided within its walls!"

"Divine Punishment?" Takeshi asked. "Does this Zane person think he's some kind of god?"

"Sounds like it," Sayane said. "Either that or he thinks he's a chosen instrument of the divine."

"Either way, this guy is totally wacko!" Hitomi remarked.

"That may be..." Jaden said with narrowed eyes. "but this guy practically destroyed a city... and if he has the support of this Sephiroth guy, then there's a good chance that Jenova Pokegirl you mentioned is working with him as well. And it wouldn't surprise me if the Dark Empress and her Harem are working with him as well... on top of that, this guy is obviously well funded, and knows what he's doing militarily. These guys are not like Team Crimson, they're an actual organized military force if they could cause this much destruction."

"And making a speech like this shows an incredible level of confidence," Takeshi added. "He should know that declaring his intent means that the PLC will be ready for him if he attacks again, which means he believes they can't touch him."

"Either that or he has an army behind him," Ryu announced as he folded his arms. "And if Sephiroth is there then you can probably be certain that Jenova would have been there too, which is equal to an army."

"Looks like things are going to be getting hectic here in Edo," Jaden said, "This guy won't stop with Takachi City, he's gonna start hitting as many targets as he can without stretching his resources too much."

"To those who support our cause, join us!" Zane shouted. "And to those who stand in our way, you shall find no quarter from us, as you cannot stop the reformation of the world!" Finally, after saying that, the feed deactivated and a 'Please Stand By' message was on the TV screen.

"Reformation of the world?" Sokudo asked. "Can't he do something like that without killing innocent people?"

"He probably could, and probably tried," Jaden said. "But he failed, and now he's probably thinking the only way to fix the world is to start over from square one, with a fresh start."

Takeshi looked at everyone else and said, "I think we should get moving. We need to get to Miyoshi City as soon as possible. It's the closest to Takachi City, so it's the most likely to be attacked next, and if it is, the PLC and local defenders will need all the help they can get."

Ryu nodded in agreement. "You're right," He agreed grimly. "We're going to have a nasty war on our hands..."

"Well, at least we'll be sticking together through it, right Master?" Lea asked, smirking with the rest of his Harem.

Ryu smiled and nodded in agreement "So long as we stick together, we'll be just fine," he confirmed confidently.

Takeshi turned off the TV and stood up. "Let's pack up and get moving, then! The sooner we get there, the better."

"Right!" Jaden said as he hopped back onto his feet, "If we're lucky, we should be able to get to Miyoshi by the end of the day if we hurry!"

The group then proceeded to pack up their belongings before leaving the house and returning it to its Capsule, and then they took off for Miyoshi City as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, with Michi-Ito

After nearly a day in travel, Michi-Ito and her group had finally decided to set up camp for the night until the morning, where they would finish their journey to Miyoshi City. Their tents were all set up, and most of them were gathered around the fire set up at the middle of the encampment.

"Thank you Soooo much for the autograph, Taro-sama!" Ranka said, as she held a large picture of Taro and a Red-Eyes Black Dragon close to her chest, a picture which now had the signature of Taro on the bottom. "This... it's such an honor to finally meet you!"

Taro chuckled a bit "Please, I just play Duel Monsters, and do what's right." he said. "Once we get to Miyoshi I'll see if I can help you improve your deck, and get you a real duel disk if you want."

Ranka's eyes gleamed hearing that. "Really? Thank you Taro-sama!" She practically cheered.

Mai smiled at their antics, before turning to Kira. "So, Kira-san," she said, "you said you were a Sex Battler?"

Kira smiled as she held up a peace sign. "Yup~" She affirmed before a frown flickered across her face. "Well, at least when I'm not having to run from the bounty hunters after the bounty my dad put on my head for running away so I wouldn't be some spoiled human-supremacist old man's sex toy."

"Ouch," Mai replied. "Sorry to hear that, Kira-san. I hope that something happens to get that bounty lifted."

"It makes your problems in the Vale sound a lot less annoying, when you think about it," Mikoto said.

At Kira's confused look, Mai explained, "I'm the daughter of the Arch Mage of the Vale and his Alpha, an Archmage. I'm practically royalty in the Vale. While it meant that everyone catered to my every whim and desire, which was very nice, it also meant that almost everyone called me 'Ojou-Sama' or 'Hime-Sama'. And I always hated those titles-I wanted people to see me for me, instead of for my parentage."

KIra blinked for a minute. "I mean no offense, I really don't, but I have to agree with Mikoto there, that does seem minor to mine," she admitted. "Not that that's hard or anything, it just makes me hate my father even more... enough that if I ever seem him again, he is going to get a special grenade that has his name on it to the face."

"Speaking of your grenades," Mikoto said, "What do you put in them? They seem a bit different than most grenades that I know of."

Kira grinned as she pulled Tyra into a hug, nuzzling her cheek against Tyra's face. "I use the powder attacks that Tyra here produces and mix them together to produce combo and sometimes completely different effects!" She explained excitedly. "I even found a way to make Gender Dust and Lust Dust permanent!"

"Interesting," Juno said. "Those might have some rather interesting applications. I just hope you don't use them in your grenades, Kira-san."

Kira's grin did not settle the NurseJoy at all, as the chuckle that emanated from the girl sounded like a mad cackle. "I already used a combo of the two," She announced, getting shocked reactions from the group. "See, before my dad put the bounty on my head, he sent his personal army after me, so after I sent about half of them to the hospital with various afflictions, the leader, a downright vile man who gets off on rape, came after me and tried to rape me to 'calm me down'. Well, I disagreed, and he now spends his time fucking anything that moves as a sex-crazed bimbo slut."

Juno was shocked at hearing that. "Well..." she said, "I guess it was warranted in that case, just please don't use them unless the one you use it on is similar to that one man."

"Yeah," Mai said. "It sounds like a fitting punishment for him Though if it were me, I probably would have seared his balls before using the dust."

Kira grinned as she suddenly glomped the fire wizard, nuzzling their cheeks together "I think I'm going to like you a lot!" Kira announced with a rather sexy grin.

Mikoto sweatdropped a bit. Mai simply chuckled. "Thank you very much, Kira-san," she said. "I do look forward to seeing where we both end up, and I also hope I can meet your father someday, so I can fry his balls. He deserves it for what he tried to do to his own daughter."

"Fine by me," Kira said before she turned to Jade and Michi-Ito. "So, Jade-chan, you mind telling me how you know... Michi-Ito, was it?"

Michi-Ito nodded, while Jade began. "Me and Michi-chan have been friends for a long time," she said. "She taught me and the others the ropes on how to live on the streets of Takachi City. She left around the time when I got Akane and Cynthia, but she always tried to visit when she was in town."

Mikoto nodded thoughtfully. "So Michi-Ito taught you what you know about living on the streets?" she said. "Interesting. Did you grow up on the streets yourself, Michi-Ito-san?"

Michi-Ito just looked over her shoulder with a mysterious smile. "Nope~" she sang. "I grew up with my mom, you'll find out why I'm so awesome soon enough!"

Seimei was chatting about Duel Monsters with Taro, Blair, and Rei. "So, Blair-san, your deck is based around Spellcasters?"

"Yeah, pretty much," Blair said. "And Rei's is similar to Taro's, however her's has a more equal focus to both Warrior and Dragon-Type monsters, spells and traps. When we tag-duel, we always combine out strategies to become practically unstoppable."

"I see," Seimei said, before turning to Taro. "If I might ask, why do you like the Red-Eyes so much, Taro-san?"

Taro shrugged. "I've always loved the Red-Eyes," he said. "My father had a Red-Eyes in his deck, he always used it as his ace in the hole for all of his duels. He never became the champion with it though, so I promised him I would use a Red-Eyes dragon deck to win, and I did." He then paused for a moment. "Though those strange dreams I had also played a part..."

"Dreams?" Seimei asked.

"Yeah..." Taro said, looking up at the sky "I sometimes have these weird dreams about the Red-Eyes... I'm in some sort of ancient temple, it's filled with what look like images of duel monsters... and at the end there's this weird sealed door with the image of two Red-Eyes Black Dragons, but the Door never opens... and then I just wake up." He shrugged. "I never think too much about it though."

"Hmm... I've never heard of any temple like that," Seimei said. "However, if you ever find yourself in the Vale, you might take a look at their library. There might be something in there about a temple like you described."

"I'd appreciate it," Taro said, nodding.

"Deneve!" A feminine voice shouted, catching everyone's attention as a red/orange blur collided with Michi-Ito, sending her to the ground as Macavity hugged her daughter tightly. "I am so glad to see you got out of there safely! I was almost about to go after Jenova to avenge you!"

Everyone else in the camp blinked in surprise, as out of nowhere a legendary pokegirl had just jumped out and glomped their newfound ally. "Umm... Michi-chan?" Jade said. "How... is that... how do you know Macavity?"

"Cause she's my mom!" Michi/Deneve said in explanation as she hugged her mother back. "Not my biological mom, but my mom nonetheless!"

Upon that declaration, everyone's eyes widened, and several jaws droped in shock. "Huh?" Jade asked, "Michi-chan... why didn't you ever tell me this?"

"Probably because Macavity wanted her to keep it a secret," Mikoto replied. "Am I right in my assumption, Michi-san... or do you prefer Deneve?"

"Michi-Ito is the name that the PLC stuck on me ever since I started my thieving days," Deneve explained, before smiling widely. "So I'd prefer it if you all called me Deneve, please."

"Aw, my daughter made more friends!" Macavity announced as she hugged her daughter from behind, looking like she had just caught the metaphorical canary. "First you find your brother, and now you have new friends! I am so-o-o proud of my daughter~!"

Taro himself chuckled a bit. "You have a very... interesting mother, Deneve-san," he said. "I must say, it's an honor to meet the infamous Macavity."

Macavity's eyes twinkled as she grinned. "Oohh, what a polite Tamer," She said as her tail swished back and forth. "And none of you trying to catch me either. Aren't they just the nicest people ever, Deneve?"

Deneve sighed and rolled her eyes slightly, but smiled all the same before grabbing Jade and pulling her forward. "Mom, this is the one I was telling you about all those times, Jade this is my Mom, Mom this is Jade." She said, introducing her friend who was still looking rather shocked.

"Ahh, so you're Jade... maybe me, you, and Deneve can have some fun together sometime..." She offered, her eyes glinting mischievously.

Jade blinked in surprise before she blushed furiously. "Uhh... t-that would be... nice?" she said, unsure.

Kira giggled a bit. "I'm liking your mom more and more, Deneve," she said. "Kira Urei, nice to meet ya."

Kenji blinked and turned to Joyce who he had let out of her ball the minute they had left the sewers. "Well, I don't know if this is a good or bad omen, I meet, and receive a blade from, the legendary swordsmith Ryu Hisanaga, and about a year later I meet Macavity..." He said slowly, as if he was having trouble believing the turn of events himself. "Joyce, is this a good or bad thing?"

The Blazicunt shrugged. "You're asking the wrong person here Kenji-kun," she said, before grinning "But either way... our lives certainly are getting interesting."

Deneve blinked and looked over to Kenji. "You met Ryu?" She asked hopefully. "Really? I just found out that he's my brother!"

Upon hearing that, there was a long silence in the camp, as the others looked at Deneve in shock with wide eyes.

"Your brother... is Ryu Hisanaga?" Taro asked with an unbelieving look on his face. "THE Ryu Hisanaga? The Master Swordsmith?"

"Yes she is," Macavity confirmed with a rather impish smile. "It's a rather long story that I don't feel like sharing right now, but needless to say it involves plenty of alcohol and a Tamer with Retarded Luck."

"I still can't believe he's my father..." Deneve groaned as she palmed her face. "How Ryu turned out so normal I will never know."

"I wouldn't exactly call being the greatest swordsmith in the entire world normal..." Taro said, "But all things considered, it's nice to hear you have a brother. Have you met him yet, or spoken to him?"

Deneve saddened a little "I met him once before... I didn't know I was related to him, and I'm guessing he didn't either," She admitted before brightening a bit "But I know he's heading to Miyoshi City right now, so that's where I was heading when I was in Takachi City. He's heading there with his Harem, and three other Tamers."

Kenji rose a bit of an eyebrow there "You wouldn't happen to know if there's a Jaden Takeo with him, would you?" he asked.

"Actually, yes." Deneve said nodding, smiling a bit "He's actually pretty interesting, he's the only person in recorded history to ever tame a Mantis, and from what I've heard, said Mantis is extremely polite and nice."

"A Mantis?" Mikoto asked. "That is very interesting indeed."

"Meeting someone who can Tame a Mantis would definitely be an interesting encounter," Mai added. "You talk as if you know him Kenji-san."

"We met about a year ago, around the same time I first met Ryu when he gave Fuujin her blade," Kenji said. "It was right after we were nearly killed by a Team Crimson squad who ambushed us, we had to take Fuujin to an old Pokegirl Center, where Jaden and his Mantis Rena were currently at to heal Jaden up after his Father nearly murdered him."

"W-What?" Mai shouted hearing that. "W-What do you mean murder him?"

"Phil was an asshole," Joyce said, sneering. "He used Jaden as his own personal punching bag when Sutura-chan left... I know, since I used to be part of that bastard's harem before Kenji finally killed him. Me, Chris-chan and Rena were Jaden's family for 12 years when his mother left. One day, his father tracked Jaden down to that old Pokegirl center... and that was his last and biggest mistake, as Kenji finally killed the bastard with his fire. Didn't even leave behind any ashes."

"The last we ever saw Jaden was after the battle at Henka Port," Kenji said. "He left with a few others to head for Ryu Hisanaga's house to be trained and to get new swords. We kept in contact for a bit, his last message from about a month ago said he finally mastered Ryu's Shadow Step, and that he would be finally heading to Vegeta Valley to find his mother... I really do hope he found her."

"I know what its like to have a bastard father..." Kira said, her eyes narrowed, "but not even my father was that abusive..."

"I see..." Mai said, before turning back to Deneve. "Out of curiosity, do you know anything about the other two Tamers with him?"

"Yeah, both of them are from the Yamato Clan," she said. "The first is a Mercenary named Takeshi Yamato, and his wife Sayane, who used to be a Samurai, but when she was married to Takeshi they discovered a new evolution to her breed, turning her into something called a Shoguness. The other is Hitomi Yamato, a Tamer and Takeshi's sister. From what I've heard, they're both very nice people, and have blades made by Ryu."

"I've heard of the Yamato Clan," Mikoto said. "It's said that they have been around since the pre-Sukebe days, and are organized into several families based on their specializations. It is also said that the clan is completely self-sufficient, making just about everything they may need inside their compound-only trading with outsiders if they need ores for their weapons and armor. And anyone in the clan who focuses on combat always masters one specific weapon-and several of their families are organized based on what weapon they specialize in."

"That does sound like an interesting Clan," Mai replied. "I look forward to meeting the two of them."

"It's an experience," Kenji informed as he recalled his own meeting with the smith. "He actually isn't aware of his own fame, he's really kind of a... well, hermit I guess. He's only just recently getting out and exploring the world."

"I look forward to meeting him as well, and this Jaden guy..." Kira said licking her lips. "I've always wondered what the son of a Sayjin could do... and I can only imagine what a Swordsmith could be packing..."

Jade blushed a bit at what Kira said, however even she would admit she was a bit interested in what both could do. Taro just sighed. "Is everything you think about sex?" He asked.

"Sex Battler," Kira said with a grin. "Sex is our lives."

"You walked straight into that one," Kenji said, grinning over to the groaning Taro. "But anyways, it's a good three days travel to Miyoshi city, will we get there in time?"

"We will, trust me." Macavity said with a knowing grin "They will be staying there for at least a week."

Deneve and the others looked at Macavity in curiosity. "What do you mean, mom?" Deneve asked. "Why would he stay?"

Macavity just grinned more. "Now, why would I want to spoil the surprise?" she said, causing the others to sigh or groan.

Deneve narrowed her eyes at her mother before sighing. "This is one of your pranks on me isn't it?" She groaned as she palmed her forehead. "One of your ways to give me a heart attack before I'm even thirty."

Macavity giggled. "I wouldn't necessarily call it a prank..." she said. "Just... a coincidence."

Mai sighed. "Deneve-san, I doubt you'll be able to get her to tell you. If she wants to keep it a surprise for when we meet him, that's how it's going to stay."

Deneve sighed. "I know," she said. "I really should be use to this kind of thing by now..."

"Sometimes ya just gotta go with the flow Deneve-chan," Kira said with a grin, "And maybe cause as much chaos as you can while you're at it."

Macavity grinned as she suddenly teleported behind Kira. "I really like you," she whispered into her ear. "You said you're a sex battler, right? I wonder how good you are with that..."

Kira grinned in response as she turned to Macavity. "Do you want to find out?" she asked heatedly. "After all, I'm sure I can get you going quite... wildly."

Macavity's grin threatened to split her face in half. "You think you can take on a Legendary?" she said.

"Only one way to find out," Kira said, matching her grin before she moved in and captured Macavity's lips in a kiss, which the legendary quickly returned. Kira slipped a hand into her pouch during the make out session and pulled out a grenade that bore a piece of red tape around it and pulled the pin before dropping it, causing a fine red dust to explode out of it and covering the entire area in Lust Dust.

LEMON ALERT!

Jade sniffed the dust, before her eyes widened. "Oh fuck..." she said, before she and every other woman in the area suddenly began to feel extremely horny.

Taro himself sniffed the dust, and experienced something similar, however not to the same degree that the others were in. "The hell?" he said, "was that lust-" however he was cut off when someone suddenly forced him to the ground, and proceeded to shove a tongue down his throat. He looked, and was surprised to see it was Ranka herself. "W-what?"

"S-Sorry...I-I can't control myself!" Ranka said, her face blushing and her eyes filled with lust. "I Can't..."

Taro sighed as he glanced at his own Harem, it became obvious that they were being affected as well as they were all making out with one another, and nearly ripping each other's clothes off, and this seemed to be happening for everyone. "Well... if there's no way to help it," he said, before he kissed Ranka deeply, which surprised the Diva for only a few seconds before the Lust Dust once again kicked in and she began kissing her idol back.

Mai and Mikoto were engaged in a heated make-out session, even as they were quickly removing each other's clothing. Yet somehow, despite the lust-induced passion, they managed to ensure that their clothing suffered no ill effects. Soon, they had even discarded their bras and panties, leaving each other completely nude. Mikoto then began fondling Mai's chest, while Mai began rubbing Mikoto's slit.

Kenji found himself under assault not only from Joyce, who was wantonly ripping away his clothing to get to his 'goods', but a very enthusiastic Tyra was helping her out as she used her vines to keep him pinned down. Finally Joyce tore away his underpants to show off his erect cock, causing her eyes to light up as she gripped it. "Kenji~" She cooed out as her warm tongue ran across his member. "You're so much bigger than that asshole ever was~. It makes me so-o-o-o happy!"

Kenji blushed slightly as he suddenly found Tyra straddling his head with her pussy in his face. "I hope you don't mind me borrowing this, Joyce," she said before gasping in pleasure as she felt Kenji's tongue flit across her clit. "Oohh, I can tell already this is going to be fun~"

Taro had worked his way in declothing Ranka, as she was now completely nude with her large C-Cup Breasts on display for all to see. "You're quite beautiful, Ranka-chan," Taro said with a grin. "It's no wonder Jade likes you."

Ranka was blushing furiously. Sure, she had taken part in orgies like this one before, however now she was being tamed by none other than her idol! She gasped a bit as Taro began massaging her breasts, teasing her nipples by pinching them. He positioned Ranka so that she was now on his lap, as he used his left hand to tease her pussy, which he found was already soaking wet "Getting excited now, are we?" He whispered into her ear.

Mai and Mikoto had quickly moved into a 69 position, with Mai on the top and Mikoto on the bottom. Both were licking each other's pussies with gusto, driving each other towards their limits. Hoshi was also there in her miniature form, helping Mai lick Mikoto's pussy.

Kira moaned as she felt Macavity's hands roam and caress her bare body, holding her upright as she nibbled on her ear, even as Deneve was on her knees between Kira's legs licking at her nether regions, sending her tongue probing into the Sex Battler's love canal, and even had Jade suckling on Kira's breast, her other one being pinched and teased by Jade and Macavity simultaneously.

"This is revenge for beating me in that Sex Battle at Takachi," Jade said with a grin as she sucked on Kira's breasts, half surprised to taste milk, however she remembered Kira had become quite attracted to Cynthia's milk during their last taming session, so she simply enjoyed the taste.

"N-No fair..." Kira said, as her body was overflowing with pleasure. "T-Three on One?"

Macavity giggled in her ear as her cat like tongue flicked across the edge of her ear. "But we want to see you squirm," she explained teasingly. "It's so much fun~"

Mikoto finally climaxed, her juices erupting from her pussy over Mai's face and Hoshi's entire body. As Mikoto continued pleasuring Mai, driving her ever closer to her own orgasm, Mai set about cleaning Hoshi with her tongue, quickly sending Hoshi's pleasure through the roof and bringing her close to her own orgasm.

Tyra screamed as she felt Kenji's tongue brush against her G-Spot, her arms awrapped around Joyce's shoulder's as the Blazicunt bounced on her Tamer's cock that was starting to hit inside her womb with each penetration "Gonna cum!" She warned as she started to drool "Gonna cum!"

"Me... me too-o-o-o!" Joyce shouted out in pleasure her eyes starting to roll back before Tyra brought her into a passionate kiss.

Suddenly without warning their pussies clamped down over the object penetrating them as their juices flooded out, Tyra cumming all over Kenji's face as the fire manipulator tried to drink it all in as he himself exploded into Joyce's womb, causing an even stronger orgasm to be added to Joyce's current one.

Ranka was now going up and down Taro's own cock, as Taro's length moved in and out of her pussy, her legs were wrapped around him as the two passionately kissed one another, while Taro raised and lowered her on his member. "T-Taro-sama! I-I-I'm Close!" Ranka said. "I'm gonna cum!"

"Me too, Ranka-chan!" Taro said, grunting as he quickened his pace even more, "here it comes!" With that, he shoved his whole length into Ranka, as the two came down hard in a massive orgasm, Ranka screamed out in pleasure as she and Taro stayed in their orgasmic high, until they finally came down from their Orgasms. "Diva..." she muttered her species name as Tamer's Shock descended upon her.

Mai finally climaxed, screaming in pleasure as her juices flooded over Mikoto's face and into her mouth. Her screams reverberated through Hoshi, sending her over the edge as well, and the Spitfire's juices erupted into Mai's mouth.

Kira's eyes appeared to be white as they rolled up into her head as countless orgasms rocked her body from the continuing three pronged assault from Jade, Deneve, and Macavity, who kept going even through her orgasms. "Cumming, cumming, cumming," Kira repeated as if it was a Mantra, her body being entirely supported by the three woman.

"I think we broke her." Deneve stated as they finally let her down onto the ground gently to recover, still muttering her mantra. "Was it too much?"

Jade's sudden kiss on Deneve's lips cut her off as she felt her adoptive mother's hands cup her breasts. "You tell us when we're finished, Deneve," Macavity whispered into her ear lustily. "I always wanted to bond with my daughter~"

Deneve blushed shades of red which would make a tomato jealous, before Jade suddenly moved down lower and began licking her pussy, causing her to gasp in pleasure.

Jade felt a tap on her shoulder, and she stopped only momentarily as she looked behind her to see Katrina there, who was herself being penetrated by one of her own dildo's courtesy of Rukia, she was handing Jade a ten inch long dildo. "Here," she said between her own moans, "Makes things... Interesting!"

Jade grinned as she accepted the Dildo, before placing it just outside Deneve's pussy, lightly teasing her with it, causing the thief to squirm. Deneve screamed out as it began to push into her, filling her pussy up. "Ahn, Jade~" She screamed out in a low moan before her mouth was occupied with her mother's as Macavity slid her tongue into Devenve 's mouth and started massaging Deneve's tongue with her own as her hands went to her daughter's nipples and started to tease and pinch them causing her to let out a scream into the kiss.

Seimei had been making out with Blair, and both Duelists were now naked and had begun engaging in Tribadism, their pussies rubbing against each other as they moved. Meanwhile, Hono and Cynthia were equally naked, and the Fire Elementalist had her fingers deep inside the Milktit while she was eagerly drinking her milk from her breasts.

"Y-Ya know," Cynthia said in-between moans, "its only-AH! Fair t-that I w-warn you that d-drinking m-my milk m-AH! makes your breasts make milk too."

Hono smiled sultrily. "That sounds interesting~" she cooed. "I'll need to keep that in mind for the next time I have a Taming Session with Mai-chan~"

"Cumming!" Deneve shouted for the third time as she felt the dildo press against her womb courtesy of Jade who had the other end of the dual sided dildo inside of her own pussy their clits bumping and rubbing against each other as their hips buck into each other. They each had a hand occupied with Macavity's pussy teasing the outer edge, pushing in, pinching and tugging her clit causing the chaotic kitty to fall into multiple orgasms.

"Mm, Deneve, you and your friend are so-o-o sexy when you cum~" She purred with lidded eyes. "I can't wait to taste your juices~ Ahn, cumming!"

"Mom!" Deneve shouted in return as she and Macavity shared a passionate kiss that Jade watched playing with her breasts before finding herself dragged into the makeout session, making it a three way makeout session as the three fell into another orgams with one another.

Meanwhile, Akane had found herself succumbing to the Lust Dust, and was now eagerly being fucked by Taro after he finished with Ranka, "Uhh, yes! Yes!" She said, as Taro pushed her against the side of a tree, "Its been forever since I had a real cock! YES!"

Taro was grinning a bit as he thrusted into Akane, 'Its official,' he thought, 'Lust Dust is the greatest thing ever.'

Kenji found himself in a position of a rather rare event as he felt Macavity's mouth engulf his cock, apparently the Legendaries weren't just legendary in battle, but extremely insatiable in bed even after both Deneve and Jade were worn out by her she still had energy to go. "Mm, you have a really nice cock Kenji," Macavity announced as she licked up the precum dripping out of the tip of his cock before shifting herself to her hands and knees pulling her ass cheeks apart to show off her rosebud to the Tamer "I think it's slick enough to get in here, no?"

Kenji grinned as he placed his hands on her waist rubbing his length between her cheeks and against her bud making her moan in anticipation "If you really want it, then who am I to say no to a Legendary?" He asked pushing the tip of his member against her rosebud and entered her burning asshole as Macavity moaned loudly "So tight, and you're so warm too."

"Ahn, your cock... your cock feels so good in my ass~" Macavity moaned out in excitement as her tail wrapped around Kenji's waist urging him on "Pound it, pound my ass~!"

Kenji then proceeded to pump his cock in and out of the Legendary's ass at a quick pace, Macavity found herself moaning in pleasure at the Pryokenetic's thrusts, "Yes, Yes, Yes!" She repeated in a mantra, "Your cock feels so good! Its the greatest, just don't you dare stop!"

Kenji followed her instructions as he continued to pound into her picking up the force of his thrusts as one hand went to her nipples to start pinching and teasing the sensitive tips while the other hand went to her clit and teased it causing her ass to flutter pleasurably around his cock "Cumming!" He warned with a grunt as Macavity moaned wildly.

"In my ass!" Macavity moaned loudly "Cum in my ass, I want to be shitting out your cum for we-e-e-e-eks! CUMMING!"

The chaotic kitty's ass clenched around his cock as the two came in unison Macavity's orgasm being prolonged as she felt his hot cum flood into her ass sending a sheet of white over her vision as she finally fell unconscious.

Kenji caught her before she fell to the ground, as he looked out at the others, Taro had finished up with Akane and had moved on to Mana, and all of the other girls who were still conscious were still going at it in the orgy, in the middle Kira, Deneve, Jade, Ranka, Tyra, Joyce, and Juno were clustered around one another, still knocked out from their own orgasms.

Kenji couldn't help but grin as he set Macavity down with them. 'I love my life,' he thought, before he moved on to his next target while the lust dust was still fresh.

Lemon End!

Meanwhile, Edo League Ocean

Donovan Urei never saw it coming. One minute he was relaxing in his luxury yacht without a care in the world, the next cannon blasts were raining down around it.

Only a few minutes after the barrage started, it stopped again, with his boat thankfully not receiving any damage. However, the Delphinus was now pulling alongside, Piratits and Buttaneers throwing lines over to the yacht from the main deck. Donovan's security guards tried removing the lines, but Aika's trusty boomerang always managed to hit them before they could.

Soon enough, the Delphinus' crew stormed the Yacht, Vyse leading the charge with his twin cutlasses. Aika was right behind with her Boomerang, and several men, women, and 'girls followed. They moved through the ship, grabbing paintings, statues, anything of value, as well as relieving Donovan's guards of their weapons. Of course, Donovan's guards tried to fight back, but were always defeated and knocked unconscious. None of them were ever killed.

Donovan, seeing what was happening to his guards, had immediately gone for a lifeboat and abandoned ship, heading back for shore as fast as the lifeboat's motor could take him.

Now, Vyse and his crew were just finishing up.

"All right, crew," Vyse said as they made their way back to the lines, "how'd we do?"

"No casualties, Cap'n," Aika replied with a grin. "On our side or theirs. Anyone who stood against us is taking a nice nap, though."

"We got a fair haul of loot, too, boss," one of the Buttaneers said. "Gold, Paintings, Statues... all told, I think all of this is worth about 10,000,000 SLC, maybe more."

"We got his mainframes primed too, Captain," a man with a Data Dog added. "When the PLC starts investigating, they should have no problem at all finding all of Donovan's dirty little secrets."

"The bastard still got away, though," Aika growled. "I wanted to shove my Boomerang where the sun don't shine!"

"You'll get your chance some other time, Aika," Vyse said with a reassuring smile as he put a hand on her shoulder, before turning to the man and the Data Dog. "What all can you find on the Mainframe?" he asked. "Anything interesting?"

"Well, I wouldn't call the main bit interesting-disgusting is more like it," the man replied. "The bastard had plans to sell his daughter, a girl who hadn't Thresholded even though she has the Tamers Disease, off to some pure-blooded sex addict for money and power. And when she ran away from home, he went and put a Bounty on her!"

Aika snarled. "You know what, shoving my Boomerang up his ass would be goin' easy on the bastard," she growled.

Even Vyse had a look of disgust on his face. "Sick sonofabitch," he growled. "Make sure that file is sent directly to the PLC, I want that bastard to go down hard for that!"

"Sure thing, boss," the man replied. "And the fact that he's made a few donations to Rocket Clone Groups won't make it any easier for him."

Vyse grinned ferally. "Perfect," he said. "Also, see if we can get his daughter's location now, she's a frequent visitor of the website, right?"

"Will do, Boss," the man said. "There might be a slight problem, though. The last place she accessed the site from was Takachi City."

"From what I've heard of her, she probably managed to escape," Vyse said. "She's been dodging Bounty Hunters for years now, if she did survive she probably headed for Miyoshi City, it's the closest city to Takachi."

"Gotcha," the man replied. "I'll keep an eye out, Boss."

"Speakin' of Takachi," one of the Piratits said, "What're we gonna do about those Dark Angels, Cap'n? Somethin' tells me they're not all there in the head."

"I agree," Vyse said with a sigh. "Problem is, these guys aren't just some rich bastards who work for one of the Rocket Clone Groups or Corrupt Scumbags, they're an actual elite military force, and we don't even know where their base is. I'm not saying we shouldn't go after them... but doing so is going to be very difficult on our own."

"We might want to try visitin' one of the Port Towns," Aika remarked. "See if any other Pirate Crews or Freelance Crews want to try workin' with us. We should also pay Old Man Brabham a visit-last I heard, he was workin' on something that could allow the Delphinus to fly, which would be a great way to enable us to go just about anywhere."

"Sounds like a plan," Vyse said as he turned around. "Get everything loaded up onto the Delphinus, once we leave we're scuttling the yacht."

"AYE-AYE, CAP'N!" They all replied at once.

Later, with Ryu's Group, Miyoshi City

"I'M WHAT!?" The shout echoed throughout the quiet city, shocking many who were passing by the Pokegirl Center it originated from. Inside, Sutura sat atop an examination table with Ryu, both of their jaws were dropped with their eyes bugged out.

The Megami that was attending them sighed as she shook her head slightly. "You're pregnant Mrs. Sutura," she repeated to the shocked couple. "I'd say you are nearly a month pregnant now."

"How... how did I not realize it?" Sutura asked in shock. "I've been pregnant before! You'd think that I'd remember the symptoms."

The Megami sighed again, although this one was more in relief about the fact that this wasn't a newly minted Pokewoman who'd she'd have to explain everything to. "As I'm sure you know then Mrs. Sutura, you will be able to continue like normal, at least until you are at about halfway through your second trimester, I wouldn't even recommend engaging in any fights during your second and third trimester, and I would also advise you to avoid fighting even now," the Megami said with the eternal patients that her breed bore. "We cannot tell if the child is male or female, or even if it is a Pokegirl or Human yet, we can't tell until you are about a month pregnant."

The pair thanked the Megami as they left the examination room and headed to the foyer where the others were waiting. "Guess what Jaden, you're going to be a brother." Ryu stated absently, still rather shocked.

At first, Jaden opted a confused look. "A Brother?" he asked. "What are you talking-" however, he stopped mid-sentence, before he put the pieces together, and his eyes widened as he looked at his mother. "Kaa-san... you're..."

"Yeah..." She confirmed, a bright smile starting to blossom on her face as she stepped in close to Ryu, allowing him to put an arm around her shoulder. "I'm just about a month pregnant..."

There was a short silence... before Christina squealed in delight and glomped both Ryu and Sutura in a bear hug. "This is great!" She cheered, "I'm so happy for you, Sutura-chan! You too, Ryu-kun!"

"Congratulations," Takeshi and Sayane said almost simultaneously. They were slightly jealous, but not all that much-they knew it was only another couple of years before they would be able to have kids of their own.

"It may be a bit early to be considering this..." Sutura started, sharing a look with Ryu who nodded before turning back to the married pair. "But we will need to name Godparents for our child... if you are interested."

Takeshi and Sayane gained shocked expressions on their faces, before they looked at each other, smiled, nodded, then looked back at Ryu and Sutura and said simultaneously, "We would be honored."

Jaden sat in his chair, shock on his face, however he still had a small smile. "A brother..." he muttered. "I'm gonna be a big brother..." he then chuckled a bit as his smile grew ."Holy crap, I never thought I'd hit that milestone!"

Ryu chuckled as he shook his head before looking at Sutura. The love was quite evident in his eyes as he leant in and kissed her. "Thank you," he whispered into her ears. "You are giving me the greatest gift I could have ever wished for."

Sutura smiled back at him with just as much love. "You have, too, Ryu," she whispered back. "You have given me a family again... one that's going to be getting bigger soon."

It was at that moment that a broadcast from a nearby television caught the attention of the entire group. "And in other news, the Private Yacht of Businessman Donovan Urei was attacked yesterday. When rescue crews got to the scene, the ship had been destroyed, but all of the crew were successfully rescued. Mr. Urei himself was found a fair distance away, making his way toward land by himself in a lifeboat."

"Urei... I heard of that guy," Takeshi said. "He has a bounty on his daughter for running away from home with his business property from what I heard. I myself tried to find her, but I never could. And I always had a suspicion that there was something fishy about that Bounty."

"However, shortly after Mr. Urei was captured, he was swiftly put under arrest." The Reporter said, "Mere minutes before he was recovered, the PLC received information from an anonymous Source that Mr. Urei had placed a Bounty on his own daughter's head, claiming that she had stolen property of his company. However, the source then revealed that this was in fact false, as her father was attempting to sell his daughter, one Kira Urei who has never undergone Threshold, into sex slavery," an image of Kira was displayed on the news screen. "The source has has also revealed that Mr. Urei had numerous dealings with Team Rocket and some of their clone factions such as Team Akuma, Team Viridian, and the late Team Crimson."

Takeshi and Sayane's jaws dropped. "Well," Sayane remarked, "now we know what was fishy about that Bounty."

"Yeah," Takeshi replied. "I'm glad we never found his daughter back then."

Jaden himself looked at the picture of Kira. "She looks cute," he said. "I would have loved to meet her."

Ryu suddenly grinned over to Jaden. "Aww, look at that, little Jaden has a crush~" He teased with a laugh that was shared by a giggle from Sutura. "You want to be her knight in shining armor, Jaden?"

Jaden blushed a bit, while Rena and the other girls of his harem giggled, even Reggie had an amused smile. "A-Anyways," Jaden said. "What should we do now, ya know... with Kaa-san being pregnant?"

"Taking things easily till the birth sounds like the best solution," Ryu announced looking over to Sutura "We can certainly still make our way to the Kloden Wildwood, but Sutura will be out of action once she hits the second trimester, maybe even before."

Sutura nodded in agreement, bringing the hand that wasn't wrapped around Ryu's waist down to her abdomen. "I'd rather not risk harming the child," She admitted, smiling softly down to her stomach. "So I won't be able to help out much when it comes to fighting until about two months after the birth."

"I agree," Christina said with a nod. "I suggest we stay here at Miyoshi City for a bit. I want to get to Kloden as fast as we can, but I know this has to be a lot to take in, Sutura-chan."

Sutura let out a low chuckle glancing over to Jaden "You have no idea Chris," She informed "A few days rest sounds good though, maybe a week. Thanks for understanding though, Chris."

Hitomi smiled. "A week's rest sounds good," she said. "Might be fun to see what Miyoshi City has to offer."

"Also, I remember hearing that Miyoshi City had a Gym," Takeshi remarked. "Never visited this city before, though, so I couldn't tell you what kind of Gym it was."

"It was a Rock-Type Gym," Ryu supplied. "It was supposed to be the first gym me and Akira were going to challenge, ironic that I'd start my journey for the Championship here once again..."

"Ah great... Rock-Type..." Rena muttered, "Never really was all that good against Rock-Types..."

"I can take on a few," Christina said, "But I can't win a whole battle myself... well, maybe I could after that year in the Hyperbolic Chamber, but..."

"To be honest, I never was good with Rock Types myself," Hikari admitted.

"I can take e'm," Reggie said with a predatory grin, "Rock-Types are nothing to me, I'll crush e'm."

"Sounds good," Jaden said, "Though it might be a good idea if we get a Water-Type Pokegirl..." he then sighed. "I never was good at fishing to begin with... how the heck am I supposed to get a water type Poke-..." He then paused before he looked up at the ceiling. Rena could tell he was thinking, as he soon developed a grin. "I got it!" he said. "It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before!"

"What is it?" Takeshi asked.

"I'll tell ya that if it works," Jaden said, still grinning "But, I'll have to do it tomorrow morning though, that's when the water-type 'girls are always biting from what I've heard."

"Good luck with that," Hitomi said. "I think I'll be fine with Miyuki and Sokudo, though."

"Leave it to us!" Sokudo said. "We'll kick their butts!"

Ryu chuckled as he looked over to Sutura who was giggling at the scene. "Well, I have you and Taka for the fight," He pointed out making Sutura grin as she flexed her free arm "I think we got this in the bag."

"Got that right." Sutura agreed her eyes sparkling in amusement "We'll get that badge, no problem."

"I guess the question is: Who gets first crack at the gym?" Ryu wondered aloud, looking at the group. "Any ideas?"

"You know the old axiom," Hitomi remarked. "'Ladies first.' I'll go first, if you don't mind."

Ryu looked over to Sutura, shrugged, and nodded. "Feel free, I think me and Sutura need some time together, anyways." he informed. "We need to tell the others as well about the new member of our family."

"Thank you very much," Hitomi said.

"I'm ok with it," Jaden said. "Hitomi goes first, then me, then Ryu and Kaa-san." he then chuckled a bit. "Geez, the Gym Leader's not gonna know what hit him... or her."

"We should all go as a group, however," Takeshi remarked. "That way, we can cheer each other on."

"Sounds like a plan, now if you will excuse us, Sutura and I have some good news to share." Ryu stated as he and Sutura left to go to the house they had set up at the outskirts of Miyuki city, where Lea, Taka, and Dori were holding down the fort.

Buttaneers are one of the two most well known breeds of what are generally known as 'Pirate Pokégirls.' They are the more savage of the two, attractive in features although bearing varying amounts of animalistic features based on random sea flora and/or fauna. Some bear resemblance to other Pokégirls, although there are more than enough differences for all but the dumbest Tamers to tell the difference between them. As they grow older, their animalistic features become slightly more prominent, giving them a fierce appearance.

In terms of demeanor, they tend to be fiercer than their more human-like cousins. They favor blunt weapons, heavy water and wind attacks, and their own natural claws, over the blades and guns of Piratits. Their style of battle is more savage and straightforward than Piratits, making them well suited for front line combat and all out assault. Outside of battle they are extroverted, outgoing Pokégirls who enjoy a good party as much as a good scrap. They are more social than Piratits, and are good at unifying their Harem sisters to their 'Admiral's' cause. (Their Tamer is always called 'Admiral,' and the Alpha is always the 'Captain.') They don't make good Alphas, as they tend to be flighty and indecisive without solid direction.

Buttaneers work well in all naval applications. They work well as Tamers for League naval forces, actual pirates, even as crewmembers on a single Tamer's ship. In rare cases, Buttaneers can even be found as crewmembers on luxury cruise liners. Their willingness to follow orders, plus their amphibious nature and fighting ability, makes them highly valued by all seafaring Tamers.

Instances of using Buttaneers on land are rare, but there are several recorded instances of land-based Tamers having Buttaneers in their Harems. They still retain their outgoing, gregarious nature, but are also more melancholy, as all Buttaneers are more comfortable being on a ship at sea. Land-based Buttaneers also tend to be more aggressive as well, to compensate for their not being at sea. This can be tempered somewhat by partnering them with another Water-type Pokégirl, as Buttaneers greatly enjoy being wet. ("In every sense of the word," as some have been quoted.)

During the Revenge War, Buttaneers worked alongside more animalistic Pokégirls, swimming in packs underneath seafaring vessels while their commanding She-Captain would said in on their own ships with Piratits. The boat-based assault would distract the ship from the brunt of the assault, the Buttaneers, who would board the ship and slaughter the crew, usually before they could react in some way, making way for the She-Captain and the rest of the crew to mop of whatever was left and claim the contents of the ship for Sukebe's forces. Frequently, Buttaneers were stationed amidst herds of animalistic water Pokégirls, supplementing their forces and adding to their damage capacity.

Buttaneers, in terms of taming, love it wild. They don't mind if their Tamer gets a little rough with them, and like to be taken 'as hard as an ocean wave.' They enjoy pretty much any position, although of 'that fancy bondage stuff' that Domina-types have been known to use is a turn off. They enjoy a straightforward, rough & wild taming, loving it when their tamer pounds their 'cutlass' into them.

Threshold cases which result in a Buttaneer are uncommon and usually occur in families with a long history of water-type in their bloodline.

DATA DOG, the Dog ex Machina Pokégirl

Evolves: None
Evolves From: Byte Bitch (Normal)

When a Byte Bitch has gone through enough life experiences, they evolve into the much calmer Data Dog. When not found employed, many Data Dogs enjoy a place in a Watcher or Tamer's Harem, often being viewed as almost parallel to Cyber-nymphs in their ability to run networks though without the Cyber-nymph's unique ability to upload data just by touching electronic objects. However some Data Dogs that have dabbled in areas other than computers find that they shine in other chosen areas, making them unparalleled machinists or mechanics that are able to build hoverbikes from spare parts. These Data Dogs are almost always found employed at dealerships and R&D departments alongside other tech enthusiasts.

Their appearance changes little from their previous form, bust increasing slightly and adding on more muscle mass since Data Dogs are no longer as weak as humans, but comparable to other common Pokégirls in strength. Most often this comparison is to the Catgirl, though a Data Dog's strength is mostly in her upper body and not her legs. The Data Dog still prefers to tinker or type however, but this is usually due to her increased skill level and interest in her area of choice than any physical deficiency. Data Dogs loose their bitchiness due to stress, as their newfound ability to view any situation under a cheerful pragmatic view comes to light. Most of the breed has been found to try and make the best out of any situation, though some Data Dogs use their practicality for personal gain more than anything else. Overall, Data Dogs have the canine loyalty that is found in most canine types. Many enjoy games of intellect, chess, shogi, and other tactical or trivia games are a great way to earn a Data Dog's affection.

There are a few horrific tales of Data Dogs slowly taking over the Alpha's loyalty and running the Harem of a tamer (and eventually the tamer) by proxy. These tales have been proven, but research has shown that the two recorded instances were from Data Dogs that had actually teamed up with Dominas instead of butting heads with the Pokégirls as they normally do. As such it isn't recommended for any Data Dog to be placed in a Harem with aggressive Pokégirls, since the Data Dog may be calmer now, but they do not tolerate being pushed around. The Domina line and other 'pushy' Pokégirls are bound to get told off in almost all of the cases (with the exception of a few, as noted above) and not even the good natured Celestials are taken as an exception. They can, however get along better with mouse, bunny, and cat Pokégirls (in spite of still being intimidated by the stronger cats). Though in battle, they can use what they refer to as an instinctive advantage and intimidate the 'prey' Pokégirls.

Data Dogs still have the weakness of their canine instincts taking over, and many are embarrassed that they are no better able to control these urges than when they were Byte Bitches. Still unable to fight their triggers, Data Dogs make a point to telling new owners what sets them off to insure that there are no accidents. Many Tamers can use this to their advantage as well, as the mere threaten to set off a Data Dog's trigger is usually enough to keep them in line. Thanks in part to their bulking up, Data Dogs are now able to fight better than their previous form, however they are still considered weak for an evolved Pokégirl. A Data Dog's favored tactic is to use their shield and teleportation abilities to formulate the best possible counter attack, though this tactic is sometimes changes in order to prevent the Data Dog from becoming predictable. They still shine as a support Pokégirl, able to better defend and attack their front line partner and whittle their opponent down from the sides.

Threshold cases of Data Dogs are rare, the best evidence of threshold into a Data Dog is ears migrating to the top of the skull and picking up random static electricity. Feral cases of Data Dogs are more common than their pre-evolved from, since they are better able to defend themselves from stronger Pokégirls.

Megami are the most mysterious of the Pokégirls. The number that exist is unknown as the number seems to change every time there's a poll. It is not recorded if there are feral Megami or not. There is no set description for a Megami, as they come in all shapes and sizes.
However, all Megami tend to be very attractive or cute, if not outright beautiful. No information exists to answer the question, "Do other females spontaneously evolve INTO Megami?"
Not much is known about Megamis because few people understand how they even GOT a Megami when they think about it logically and those who do have a Megami either don't ask or don't think it's a big deal. When a Megami shows up, they are acknowledged as if they had always been there. However, it is when a Pokégirl that is already a part of a harem evolves into a Megami that there are many questions from the Pokégirl's Tamer and other Pokégirls to be answered. Unfortunately for them, it is rare that any Megami give any straight-out answers to such questions. It is the mystery that compels people to ask, but it's the sly smile of the Megami that is given that is the only answer.
The only consistent numbers of Megami are from Pokécenters and hospitals, where Megami are often found with various other nurse-type Pokégirls. However, even these numbers tend to fluctuate somewhat when disasters occur, and Megami from who knows where flock to the area to help tend the wounded and assess the situation. And the few times that this has been seen, it was soon found that some sort of Infernal Pokégirl, Widow, or dark plot was involved in the same area. It is assumed by most researchers that many Megami will only gather in one place if it is a supreme event, and few wish to ever see such an event.
Megami can only be assessed as individuals when it comes to their own strengths and weaknesses. Statistically speaking, they have no average stats when compared to other Pokégirls. They are either excellent at something, or lousy. As such, their skills, attacks, defenses, and most enhancements are unknown until they are studied. And as no Megami allow themselves to be studied by anyone other than their Tamer, obviously one can only take a Megami at face value. As Celestial Pokégirls, Megami excel in vague remarks and keeping secrets, although only some of them consider it necessary to be completely vague in most anything of true import to them. The only way it has been found to get a straight answer from a Megami when regarding events to come, or something that they know but she is unwilling to speak of, is to trick them. This can be difficult, or simple, depending on the individual. Some Megami don't worry so much about this, however. Still, a number of Megami that have been reported show that they enjoy being vague.
There are, however, some standards among the Megami that have evolved from certain other Pokégirls. For example, Megami that evolve from a Cherry still lactate, but may use their enhanced magical abilities to change the effect of their milk from simple sweet and nutritious to act as a sedative, to induce lust, act as a healing drink, or other such effects. Megami that evolved from a Drag King may sometimes be mistaken as men, at times of their own choosing. Megami that evolve from a Rooder show a preference to drinking Lavender Water and creating Holy Water. Those that evolve from a Sarcastic Goth tend to retain their penchant for snide or biting comments when dealing with others, including her own tamer. These Megami also retain most, if not all of their attacks from their previous evolution. Researchers are attempting to discover if they can trace a Megami's previous evolution through this knowledge, but no progress has been made as of yet.

Ceremony Description
====================

Elemental Stones Needed: Angel Stone, Dark Stone, Metal Jacket, Mana Crystal
Area & Time Conditions: Any time, with at least one respected individual in attendence.
Ceremony Itself: This ceremony is quite simple. When the Megami feels the time is right, she will admit her selfish ways are stronger than her need to follow the greater good. Her witnesses, an individual or individuals, whom she respects greatly (or even a legendary in attendance, perhaps) must hear her and believe in the truth that she speaks. When her mind and being believes her words fully, and with all four different evolutionary items placed nearby, the evolution items will activate and the Megami will evolve into a Demon-Goddess. Wearing an Everstone does negate this, however.
