Chapter 10: On the way back

Realizing that he was too inexperienced to care for Calisto on his own, and not wanting to turn her over to the center because he thought they would abandon her in the end. Terry decided to head back west to Route 117 in search of the old couple running the day care he stumbled across.

Seeing as the way forward has been closed and Winona was too busy with clearing the land slide to accept challenges May decided to tag along with Terry.

"Hmmm"

By mid-day Terry and the others find themselves about three hours outside of Mauville city having already crossed the now calm rive.

"Hrmm"

Stopping along the path they set up a cooking fire in the middle of a small clearing off of the main footpath, and prepared a short lunch for themselves.

"Mmmm"

"Alright!" Soot snapped startling everyone as she glared at a surprised Terry. "Terry you have been looking over your shoulder and grunting ever since we crossed the river. What is it?!"

"Yeah it was starting to bug us." May agreed motioning for Soot to sit back down.

"Well it's just something's been bothering me lately." He said scratching the back of his head and looking down the way they just came from. "A couple days ago, I noticed a white figure had been following us. Whenever I looked back it was always there but would shortly disappear and show up again closer. Now it seems that it has disappeared entirely, whatever it was."

"Isn't it good that we are no longer being followed?" Emy asked putting down her apple core.

"Well I suppose… but I can't help but wonder what it was and what it wanted." Terry idly picked at his own food.

"You haven't been eating too much meat lately. I thought you said you were a diehard carnivore?" May changed the subject after noticing Terry's plate.

"Well that's mostly because fresh meat doesn't keep well when you're travelling, and I'm sick of the dried stuff. Besides it's too bothersome to fix multiple dishes on the road so I've been eating whatever I fix for the 'girls."

"Well bothersome or not you're a surprisingly good cook despite how you look." Soot said offering a rare indirect compliment.

"Really? Let me try." Dart swiped a bite off of Soot's plate causing the fire type to shout in displeasure and move her plate away from her harem sister.

"No wait Dart! Don't eat that!" May called out as Dart swallowed her pilfered morsel, May knew that Soot prefers food that could melt the unprepared's face. Dart looked startled at May's outburst but otherwise unharmed. "Huh, did Terry not add any peppers?"

"Ah! May don't!" Terry called out as May also grabbed a piece off of Soot's plate causing her alpha to protest again, and popped it into her mouth. Her face quickly turned a scarlet red as she wheezed and coughed begging for water. Terry gave her a spoon of sugar instead knowing that water would only spread the pain. "Are you alright?"

"Fine." She wheezed. "How was Dart unaffected by that?"

"That's because pure flying types can't taste spicy food." Terry sighed placing his hand on his forehead. May looked down her face red from more than just embarrassment as her Pokegirls giggled giving her a hard time.

Turning his attention away from a beet red May Terry looked over at Calisto who had been silent for most of the meal. Her plate was still half full while the others had just about finished their own meals.

"Aren't you hungry, Calisto? Or did I not prepare it right?" Terry asked concerned.

"No it's good; I'm just not really hungry…" He frowned when a feeble rumble echoed from her stomach she looked away as her cheeks colored red a little bit. Looking down at her emaciated limbs his concern grew greater.

"How long has it been since you last ate, before we met?"

"Umm, about a day before the storm…"

"T-That long?!" The shock was clear on his face. It had been a couple days after they were pulled out of the river. "Then you definitely should eat something. Going that long without eating would be detrimental to your health."

"Well…" A hesitant look passed over her face. "I usually will be fine so it doesn't matter. And if I pass out I just eat something when I wake up again."

"…" They could feel the seconds tick by as he registered what she said. If she continues like this she could become bedridden, or worse. He thought to himself after it clicked. He quickly ran over the possible options he had to try and convince her to eat normally and healthily. "Then how about this if you eat all of your meals over next few days then I will buy you anything you want in Mauville city."

Bargaining is not my best not my best idea. I doubt it will work. Terry started to second guess what he said as soon as it left his mouth.

"Anything?" Her eyes flickered at the mention of buying something. She looked down at the plate. "…Alright."

It worked? He was briefly shocked before chalking it up as a success and spent the rest of the meal working on a plan to get her to eat more without depending on his wallet.

When everyone had finished eating they packed up the simple camp quickly and were on their way again as the Sun begun to dip towards the horizon. Soon the dirt trail gave way to paved road as the party made their way down the road. Luna ran into Terry nearly losing her grip on the parasol when he suddenly stopped in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Calisto asked from her position on his back looking over her shoulder to make sure Luna was okay as she rubbed her nose.

"That's…" Stunned Terry was staring straight ahead. "I think that is the white figure from before…"

Sitting on a segment of railing as if waiting for someone was a Pokegirl in a long pure white party dress that ended half way down her shins, a long slit in the side stretched to just below her hip; the backless dress came up her well-endowed c-cup breasts and met behind her neck. A long thin, bat wing tipped tail idly twitched back and forth from under her dress. She leisurely kicked the blue-black short heeled shoes on her feet. White fur traveled up from her feet completely covering up to her knees, and then tapering to an end on her outer thigh leaving her inner thighs bare. The snowy white fur on her arms started in a little puff on the back of her hands with a dark midnight blue fur coating her fingers, the white fur ended in little tufts at her elbow, calling to mind long dress gloves. More snow white fur adorned her chest in a proud puff just above her breasts it continued around to the back of her neck and down slightly between her shoulder blades, while leaving the part of her neck just under her chin bare along with her face. Her hair was styled in a left side bob narrowing to a tip at her chin clearly displaying the deep blue gem on her forehead. Most strikingly was the midnight blue scythe like appendage growing out of the right side of her head.

With her silhouetted against the setting sun she created a poetic atmosphere stopping the group in their tracks.

"Is she an abslut?" May wondered aloud as she took in the sight of her.

Noticing them the abslut gracefully jumped off of the fence and walked over to them with a subtle, charming smile on her face. She carried herself with a refined air hanging over her.

"Good evening to all of you." She said offering her hand in greeting. "My name is Karis nice to meet you."

"Uh, Good evening?" Terry was unsure of whether or not he should bow and kiss the back of this seemingly high class lady's hand or not. "I'm Terry and these are-" He introduced each of his companions in turn. "Who are you?"

"Oh didn't I just introduce myself?"

"You did, I just mean that… are you the one who was following us on Route 119."

"You don't beat around the bush do you?" Karis's smile broadened a few degrees when he offered a hasty apology. "Don't worry I like that in a person. To answer your question yes I am."

"Why were you following us?" May asked reasonably suspicious.

"That's because this young man here piqued my interest. I thought to myself 'surely someone who was dumb enough to jump into a raging river to save a Pokegirl, and a water type no less, couldn't possibly be a bad person' and furthermore you even decided to take care of her yourself, instead of leaving her at the pokecenter."

"Wait a minute," May interjected with a frown, "Terry you said that it was Emy who saved her."

"S-she did," Terry shrunk a little out of embarrassment, "she may have also saved me from the river too."

"See I told you he was an idiot like May." Dart chirped to Mara, who just nodded with an 'Hmm, you're right' turning Terry's face red and drawing a displeased shout from May.

"Ha ha ha." Karis laughed merrily at their short exchange, "Indeed I was also right in assuming you guys would be far from boring to be around."

"So what do you want?" Soot asked in a clipped tone.

"Soot! Be nicer." May scolded her causing Soot to humph and looked away with her permanent scowl plastered on her face.

"What I would like is to become Terry's Pokegirl." Karis replied seemingly unfazed by Soot.

"Why?" Mara asked tilting her head in a cute manner.

"Well…," her smile dropped for a second before returning in full force. "I've become so very bored with my current life style so I felt that I needed a change."

"Um, okay. If that is what you want, we would be glad to have you." Terry pulled out a pokeball and tapped it on her shoulder, the ball flashed almost immediately in his hand. Tossing the ball he released Karis and they continued on their way to Mauville with their newest addition.

"So what's your plan Terry?" May asked as they walked through the entrance to the city.

"I was planning to buy some appropriate clothes for Calisto and then head over to the pokecenter to rent some rooms for us."

"I'll take care of the rooms if you buy my supplies for me." She offered.

"Alright then, I'll do it since you lost your shirt to Soot." An evil smile spread across his face.

"You're so mean! I-I'll get you back for that." May ran away after giving him her trademarked teary eyed look.

"You really like to tease her don't you?" Emy sighed as Karis laughed quietly into the back of her hand.

"She's quite the joy to be around." Karis said as they turned to head into the mall.

As they walked through the mall to the clothing stores Terry noticed Calisto staring in the direction of a well-known book store chain. He mentally filed her interest in the store away under possible reward ideas.

After helping Calisto pick out a light blue bikini top, and a matching pareo as the bottom, he returned her to the pokeball not wanting let her to become dehydrated. Terry left his Pokegirls to browse whatever they wanted in the stores as he bought his and May's supplies, while also taking the time to buy some health care products for Calisto.

Terry and his Pokegirls met up again an hour after sunset, and walked the down the street to the meet up with May and the others in the pokecenter. Entering the lobby Terry spotted May at one of the seats waiting for him.

"Hey Terry, we got two separate rooms for us; a smaller taming rom for you and Karis, and a larger sleeping quarters for the rest of us. I invited the other three to stay over in our room, so don't worry about them."

"You're very considerate, thank you May." Karis said as she accepted the key from May, she kissed the top of May's head as she thanked her. She grabbed Terry's hand and led him towards the rooms. "Let's hurry master."

"Ah, okay." Terry felt his pulse quicken at the suggestive stress she put on the end of her sentence. The two of them left Emy and Luna behind with a red faced May placing a hand over where Karis kissed her.

The Taming room was slightly bigger than the others Terry had come across. The king sized bed at the opposite end of the room was the dominating feature of the room. A large bathroom designed for taming water types was located off to the right side of the room.

"I'm going to take a shower first, okay master?" Karis said as she led Terry into the room. She left him at the door while kicking off her shoes. She reached up and untied the loop at the back of her dress letting it fall in a cascade of silken material to the ground. She walked out of the pool of silken fabric at her feet swaying her hips so sensuously Terry could not look away from her perfectly shaped asset; her tail lazily swaying with her hips blocking what he couldn't wait to see. Only when she reached the bathroom door did she turn slightly hiding most of herself behind it.

"Go ahead and keep your clothes on, I want to take them off myself." A sexually charged look filled her elegantly smiling face as she closed the door behind her. She left him wondering who was the one going to be tamed.

Broken from her spell Terry suddenly became unsure of what to do with himself in the meantime. Should I wait here? No. How about the bed? Or maybe I should sit in the chair? As he debated with himself he picked up her dress from the ground. He could still feel her warmth from the fabric as he placed it on the dresser.

Deciding on the chair he faced another dilemma, how should he sit? In a dominate pose,or a submissive one…,or a neutral, or…? I hate waiting, he heaved a mental sigh as he could feel his tension start to rise. His thoughts turned to what was happening in the shower at the moment. Oh I forgot to buy some body wash for Calisto. With an easily distracted, idle mind his thoughts turned to the challenge of caring for Calisto. He didn't notice the bathroom door open; he had turned in his seat and was staring out the window deep in thought.

"That's a mature look on you." He started slightly from the voice behind him. He looked up to find Karis standing above and behind him. Her still lightly damp hair framed her perpetual smile. A pleasant floral scent drifted from the shampoo she used and filled his senses. "What were you thinking about?"

"Uh, I was thinking about what I can do to care for Calisto." He answered honestly.

"You really are a kind person, but…" her eyebrow twitched as she reached up and pinched his cheek for a couple seconds eliciting a pained 'Ow ow ow' from him, "you need to learn that sometimes you should only think about the woman your with."

"Sorry…" he apologized docilely while rubbing his cheek.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him back into her embrace. The words so soft… filled his thoughts as the back of his head pressed into the swell of her breasts and the puff of her snowy fur. With his pulse racing from the contact he felt his pants tighten painfully as his member swelled to attention. From her position she saw the bulge form in his pants a wolfish grin spread across her face. A shiver ran down his back as he looked up at her. So that's what Emy means by the thrill of being the sheep.

"Do you like what I'm doing?" she asked coquettishly as she began to kiss down his neck while unzipping the front of his jacket and pulling it off.

As she leaned in again he ran his right hand up her cheek causing a shiver to run through her body. His hazed mind registered this sluggishly as he lightly played with her scythe; he enjoyed the surprisingly soft and yielding feel as she quivered and moaned from his fingers traced along the edge and played with the point.

"Now that was unfair." She panted pulling away a heavy arousal glowed in her eyes. She pulled his shirt over his head and trailed both of her hands down his chest, one hand resting at his sternum as the other deftly unbuckled his belt and opened his pants. Trailing light circles over his chest with her left she ran her hand through his patch of curly hair passing by his shaft and began massaging his balls. Slight pain mixed into the pleasure as he ground himself into her hand wishing she would move her hand a little higher. His hand sought her out, but as it brushed against her upper thigh trailing along the edge of her towel she twitched her hips away.

"Not yet," she whispered into his ear. She withdrew her hand from his pants, hooking both of her thumbs into his waistband she pulled his pants off as he raised up off the seat to allow her better access. She leaned in and gripped his member from behind with one hand at his base while the other cupped and massaged the head. A moan passed through his teeth in a hiss as he shivered from the contact. Her scythe bobbed next his head as she concentrated on her work, seizing the opportunity he reached up and cupped the other side of her face and pulled her scythe into his mouth. She stopped and moaned as his tongue played with the point.

"You're so persistent." She moaned with a pant punctuating each word.

"Yes I am." His voice vibrated her as he gently held the scythe between his teeth. Trying hard to focus she resumed work between his legs. She alternated between circling around the head and stroking him up and down in her firm grip. Before long he let her go as he felt his climax nearing. Before he could get to her again she changed positions and moved between his legs.

"You naughty boy I was planning to finish you off with my mouth," a wicked smile crossed her face as a begging look crossed his face, "but since you tormented my scythe so much I'll just use my hand instead."

She alternated between fast short strokes on his shaft and slow circling strokes around his head. The movement in her arms brushed and shook her breasts moving the towel dangerously close to falling off of her. Enrapt at this sight he started to twitch in her hands as he felt his orgasm coming.

"I'm going to cum." He announced breathlessly. She simply smiled and moved her hands faster and harder as he came into them and across his lower stomach. Dropping the towel she ran it over his stomach cleaning him some as she licked one of her fingers. Grabbing him by his still semi-hard cock she led him to the bed and pushed him down onto it.

"Ready for round two?" she asked sitting on top of him rubbing her soaked pussy into him reviving his member to full vigor. "Good." A wolf's smile lit up her face.

Raising herself up she grabbed him and guided him into her waiting entrance. Another shiver rippled through her as she felt the long awaited pleasure. He placed he hands on her hips running them up her sides as she slowly bounced in his lap.

"Hmm, right there." Pleasure dripped from her voice as she readjusted her thrusts. Terry raised himself up into a sitting position without breaking their momentum. His hands traveled up her body and cupped her perfectly round breasts that had been bouncing enticingly in front of him. He circled around her breasts and rolled her nipples under his palms making her moan appreciatively. He leaned forward wrapping one arm around her she started to pick up her pace in his lap as he pulled her down with him freeing her hips to move faster. He reached up again to take her scythe into his mouth again gently nibbling on the edge. Her tunnel tightly squeezed him as she gasped from the dual stimulations from her breasts and scythe. She moved her hips without abandon as Terry felt another climax quickly approaching.

"I'm about to…" he said while gripping her scythe between his lips.

"Hold on I'm almost there." She panted and moved even faster causing the sturdy bed to shake. He was sent over the edge as she continued to grind her hips against him filling her with his seed. Terry collapsed back in exhaustion looking up into her face he saw a look of surprise pass over her features.

Fuck… he thought in disappointment. He started to sit up, but she placed a hand on his chest stopping him. He looked up at her questioningly.

"We're not done yet." She said with a wicked smile on her face.

"What?" She started to coil and squeeze around his cock coaxing life back into his weakening organ.

"AH," he hissed from the oversensitivity. He pleaded with her. "Two times at most is my limit…"

"It's always good to surpass your limits, isn't it?" she retorted and began to move up and down on him again as he felt himself spring back to life for a third time. "Besides I planned to go the whole night anyways."

"T-the whole night?" for a third time her wolf's smile reappeared. For the rest of the night he got little sleep.

Terry greeted the new day exhausted and a bit dehydrated, and with a rather satisfied Karis noisily sleeping in the crook of his arm. It's more than a little underhanded how peaceful she can look after wearing such a scary look. He smiled fondly at her sleeping face. The only problem seems to be her snoring. She should probably get that checked. He heaved a mental sigh. She did keep him awake for most of the night with that alone.

There was a knock at the door and Emy's entered the room. "Terry, Karis are you two awake?" She looked around at the disheveled room, "What ha-" she closed her mouth with her face red making Terry feel embarrassed.

"I-is that Karis snoring? She should get that checked."

There was a rustle beside him as Karis stretched and yawned.

"Good morning," she drowsily waved to Emy and Terry as she headed for the bathroom.

"Uh, we made some coffee in May's room if you want some." Emy recovered when they heard the shower start. Terry thanked her as she left and gathered up his strewn clothing.

As the two entered May's room they found her at the small table losing what was left of her money to Luna. Soot could be seen with her head in her hands, distressed at the outcome of May's card game. Emy was busy trying to rouse a drowsy Calisto, while Mara and Dart bubbled over some topic or another.

"There you are Terry! This is your fault. " May pointed an accusing finger at him as Luna wore a troubled expression. "If you two didn't wake up earlier then I wouldn't have lost my money again!"

"Wait how is my sleeping in related to your bad poker skills?!" He exclaimed taken back at the blatant non-sequitur.

"If you two did take so long to wake up then we wouldn't have started playing."

"If you don't want lose any money then don't bet any!"

"Then it's not poker!" May exclaimed causing Terry to hold his head in surrender.

"How about we just get something to eat and then check out, okay?" Emy said coming in between them.

Following Emy's suggestion the group ate a quick meal and packed up their belongings before heading out of the 'center.

The sun was still high in the sky when they reached Grandma's Daycare, outside the ranch styled daycare sitting in the exact same place they had last seen him was Harold the co-owner of the daycare.

"Good afternoon," Terry greeted the old man with a cheerful wave. "How are you today?"

"Good afternoon, you here to pick up your pokekit? Then come on don't stand there all day." He said and took Terry by the arm he offered to shake the old man's hand with and pulled him inside.

"Ah, no wait Mr. Harold! That's not why I'm here!" His protests fell on deaf ears as he was dragged in past the swinging screen door.

*Sigh* Both Emy and Luna shrugged their shoulders as they went in to save their tamer from the excitable Harold. Unsure of what to make of this May's group followed after them.

End of Chapter 10

As always let me know what you liked and what you didn't.
