As it turned out, the Team Swarm grunts we had fought back in Viridian had been just that, grunts. There was a larger organization at work, operating deep in the caves of MT. Moon. According to Huey, they'd been giving out dangerous bug type pokegirls to any tamer that passed them by, both as a means of getting them to stay quiet about the operation, and a means of getting people to warm up to Team Swarm as a whole.

"What do we do about this?" Riley questioned nervously. "Well, as tamers, we're legally obligated to handle it in some way, even if it's just alerting the authorities about it." Sasha pointed out.

"There aren't gonna be any Jennies inside the cave itself," Riley said, "And in the time it would take us to leave, find an OfficerJenny, and bring them back here, the whole Team could be long gone."

"That just leaves us." Huey said. "We can't take on a whole Team by ourselves." I pointed out. Huey nodded, "We don't need to. All we need to do is get in, nab the pokeballs with the dangerous bug 'girls, and get the hell out. We turn the 'girls over to the Jennies in Cerulean and tell them that Team Swarm is in there, and we're done with it."

I wasn't too thrilled with this plan, and I could tell Sasha and Riley agreed with me, but if we didn't say or do anything about it and they ended up getting away, we could have our tamer's licences, and more importantly our pokegirls, taken away from us. That wasn't an option.

"Okay, we'll do it." I said, Riley and Sasha nodding their agreement. Riley nodded, "Let's go."

Thomas had taken back control of the body and had showed us the way to the base camp. The tunnel was one that lead off away from the normal route through the cave, which explained why not a whole lot of people had found it. We were almost to the base when we heard the buzzing.

"Buzzbreast!" Thomas called out. Sure enough, a small swarm of at least twenty Buzzbreast. What's more, they were carrying a Cutiepie and a Love Bug. Neither of the bug types seemed happy, and were struggling to get away.

Cutiepie, the sweet little pokegirl. These small insect pokegirls are quite common in forests. They are too small to handle normal taming without it hurting, so use of either fingers or small toys is advised. Often uses string shot to run away from foes.

Love Bug, the Lovely Insect pokegirl. This bug type pokegirl is known for being very lustful and addicted to the taste of cum; to the point that they love giving head more than they like getting it. They are relatively useful in ex battles if they can be trained to ignore their natural instinct to submit.

Thomas' eyes narrowed, and he darted towards the wall. I wasn't sure what he was doing until he jumped, springboarding off the stone wall and launching himself into the swarm directly. His body collided with the Buzzbreast carrying the Cutiepie.

The feral 'girl dropped, landing with Thomas pinning her. A quick strike knocked her out, and Thomas picked up the Cutiepie and carried her away from the swarm.

The swarm, none too happy about Thomas' intrusion, they descended on us. I sent out Bet as Riley and Sasha sent out Crissy and Valerie.

I had Bet target the Buzzbreast that was carrying the Love Bug. She was more than fast enough to avoid the Buzzbreast's attacks and respond with two wing attacks and a peck that knocked her out.

Bet brought the Love Bug down as the brawl among the pokegirls continued. I sent out Lizzy to help out as Bet placed the Love Bug down and flew back up to the swarm.

I don't recall ever seeing Thomas mad before, but I suppose the thought of what Team Swarm was going to do to the captured pokegirls had hit some kind of nerve with him, because he was doing more damage than Crissy's fire.

He had positioned himself between the Cutiepie and the Buzzbreasts that wanted to recapture her. Any Buzzbreast that got within arm's reach was hit hard enough to send them flying into the cave's roof.

I knew full well I wasn't nearly strong enough to take on something like this yet, and continued calling out instructions for Lizzy and Bet.

At some point the Cutiepie had gotten up and started using strong shot to fight side by side with Thomas, which was an odd sight with her standing at only three feet tall and looked like she was in danger of getting stepped on by Thomas. The, after several minutes of this, she began to glow.

Her body grew taller, putting her at just a foot shorter than Thomas. When the light faded, she had also lost her exoskeleton, looking more or less like a normal human, save for the light green hue to her skin. She'd become a Tomboy.

Tomboy, the uncute pokegirl. These pokegirls are one of three possible evolutions of the Cutiepie, triggered by battle stress. They are taller and much more capable fighters, though can be a bit of a nuisance outside of battle, as they are easily offended by something they view as perverted (which could be any number of things, including things that aren't references to anything of a sexual nature) and will often reject taming and end up going feral because of it.

She was a more capable fighter for sure, sucker punching anything that got close to her or Thomas. In a matter of minutes, the swarm was entirely taken down, and Riley had captured every last Buzzbreast. (no clue how he always has so many pokeballs, but he always does.)

Once everything had calmed down, we set up camp in that section of the cave. Thomas said that we were still far enough away from the Team Swarm base that, as long as we sprayed a few repels to keep away the bug types, we would be fine.

I used a potion to heal the Love Bug to heal her, and the moment she woke, she burst into tears and threw her arms around me. She was terrified, and all I could do was hold onto her and make sure she was okay.

I sat with her for a good ten minutes before she calmed down. "Th-thank you." She said, trying to dry her eyes. I rubbed her back, "It's okay, you've obviously been through quite a lot. I'm just glad we were able to get you away from them. Where did they steal you from? Did you have a tamer?"

The Love Bug shook her head, "I was a wild. I lived in Viridian Forest until that swarm picked me up. It was h-horrible.."

I could tell from how shaky her voice was that she was about to break down again, and tried to keep her mind going, "Do you have a name?" I asked quickly. She shook her head, "Feralborne." She said.

"Would you like to be captured?" I asked. This seemed to catch her off guard, and after a small pause, she nodded, "Y-yes please. I never want to be on my own again." She said.

I nodded, and touched a pokeball to her forehead gently. Once the ball confirmed capture, I let her back out. "How about Stella? Would you like that for a name?" I asked. She smiled, and nodded, "Yes, thank you so much."

"Don't go getting any ideas about capturing me." The Tomboy told Thomas as he bandaged her arm, which had gotten cut from the fall after Thomas took down the Buzzbreasts carrying her.

"Wasn't even on my mind," Thomas said, "I don't catch pokegirls, but if you want, I can help train you. You were just stolen from your home, transplanted into a cave, and forced to evolve to survive. I doubt you want to go down without a fight."

The Tomboy paused, then nodded, "Deal." "Got a name?" Thomas asked. The Tomboy hesitated at this. Likely being a feralborne, it was entirely possible she didn't have a name. Thomas didn't say anything, letting her take her time to pick her own.

"Tee," She said after a minute or two of silence, "My name is Tee."

Thomas nodded, "Alright Tee, wanna help us destroy Team Swarm?"
