Author Note
There's not much in this chapter as I wanted to ease myself back into writing about pokegirls.
Tamer Gothic - Battle City
Chapter 36
Beach. Orange Islands
It took a while, but my harem and I managed to find a part of the beach that was free of others. It was important for me to spend some time with my pokes as they were empathetical bonded to me. No one really understood what that meant, but it was believed wise for a Tamer to spend some quality time with his harem for this bond to remain strong. Plus all pokes loved getting attention and nothing got a man's interest quite like bikini clad girls.
Raven normally went for a modest one piece bathing suit, not because she was shy about her body, she just wanted her body, which was more or less my property in her view, not to be enjoyed by others. At least not too much. I was the jealous type, but I didn't mind people looking at my pokes, when they were dressed.
However today it was bikinis all around, aside from Daphne who refused to wear clothes at all, and as she was a night person anyway so I'd left her inside her pokeball. Which was her idea as apparently the sun was too bright.
That left Raven, Kara, Kira, Babs, and Callisto to change behind some bushes. Callisto, my Dark Lad,y was for one acting rather normal, I figured that she'd decided that she would join in because in her mind she'd look best of all in a bikini. Personally I could never decide which of my 'girls was the hottest they all had such wonderful bodies.
While my harem changed I looked out to sea and thought I saw something, or perhaps someone, already in the water. After inspecting the water for a bit longer I realised that there were many pokes out there, and I decided to scan them to make sure they were not going to attack us.
According to my Pokedex, they were only Selkie down there. They were mostly just sun bathing from what I could see on some rocks, and they would no danger to us as long as we didn't disturb them.
"Not going to try and catch one?" Raven asked
I turned around, shook my head and then stopped doing anything other than breathing as I looked at my harem. I'd forgotten how sexy they were. I had good taste in pokes.
"We're here to relax and have fun" I finally said "Besides they aren't magic types".
Then I got to work by putting out towels for my girls lay on and after that I also changed my cloths. I didn't normally strip down to swimming trunks, but I needed some sun and some exercise.
"Last one in the water is a rotten apple!" I heard Kara shout out.
Soon we started a game called splash war, which involved trying to soak each other into submission and it wasn't really a game it was just an excuse to mess about.
After spending about ten minutes doing that I noticed that the water was up my shoulders, and I swore something bushed up against my back. Then I felt something rub my inner thigh, but when I glanced down, nothings was there and I could see all my 'girls they were swimming about some distance from me.
Getting slightly freaked out, I began to swim back to shore, only something grabbed me from behind and my sun glasses went flying of face. A second later I found myself staring into a pretty face with seaweed like hair.
It wasn't long before a devious look flashed in the Pokegirl's eyes and before I could lodge a protest, I was being being kissed.
I managed to push the Pokegirl away, but just before I could cry for help, I found myself being dragged under the waves by the Pokegirl with seaweed like hair. It wasn't long before the Pokegirl managed to pull down my swim trunks and within seconds of them being down, I was engaging in a Taming session with the Pokegirl as apparently my penis didn't care that I was drowning.
While I was a good swimmer and I could my breathe for a while, I was not able to do that long to have sex so I found myself with a great need for oxygen. So I struggled, got free and started to make my way to the surface. Only the poke didn't let me go that easily I was soon being dragged back under the water.
Then someone grabbed me I was suddenly back on the beach, and I had a concerned sorceress looking down at me. Clearly my alpha had teleported me out of the sea and back onto the beach after seeing that I was in distress.
"Good job" I praised.
Saving my life had earned her a big treat.
"Are you alright?" Raven asked.
Now that I could take in sweet oxygen once more I was feeling much better.
"There was this Pokegirl. She… uhm," was all I managed to say.
That was when I realised that my swim trunks were still down, it was a little awkward as my alpha had also noticed as she looked ready to finish what the seaweed haired poke had started. Or possibly the poke would do it herself as she had been dragged along with us, and looked to be in Taming Shock, which was a surprise as we hadn't done much.
"A Kelpie, so that explains it." Raven was now saying.
I couldn't help but give my alpha a questioning glance as I knew very little about water type pokegirls even after years of study. Mostly I'd focused on magic types, and a Tamer could spend a life time just studying one type.
"Kelpies are always Threshold girls" Raven informed me "They normally get given to fishermen or Tamers who want a water type. You don't often see them away from people, she must have badly needed a Taming".
Pokegirls who didn't get Tamed risked going Feral and the slide into feraldom had a big impact on their mental health, which wasn't I was mad about being raped. The pokegirl hadn't been in control of actions, her thinking mind had been replaced by something like an animal as such she had acted like one.
It was the nearly drowning to death that I did mind. Still I doubted the poke had actually meant me harm so I wasn't going to do anything cruel to her.
"What do you want to do with her?" Raven asked me.
I pondered things for a few moments.
"First we'll wait for her wake up" I decided "If she's a threshold like you told me then she'll able to talk. I want to hear what she has to say before I make a choice".
Most likely I'd hand her over to one of the other Tamers in the group or I'd just set her free.
"Its going to be a while before I go near the ocean again" I said as my harem rejoined us "why don't we just do some sunbathing".
I realised then that I hadn't pulled up my swimming shorts and judging by the gleams in their eyes my pokes had other plans on what to do next.

In pre-Sukebe mythology, there was a legend about a race of young women who could take the form of seals by wearing a magical seal-skin. When her seal-skin was stolen by a fisherman, a selkie woman could not return to the sea, and was forced to become his wife. The Selkie pokegirl mirrors this legend almost perfectly.
In her more human shape, a Selkie appears to be a muscular, slightly plump Near Human girl with brown, green, or gray eyes. The more feral specimens may have sleek fur or a slight muzzle, but even the most domestic Selkies have a certain strangeness of the features that identifies them as a pokegirl straight away. The true identifier is that a Selkie keeps with her a furry skin identical to that of a pre-Sukebe seal, which she can wrap around her waist and legs to transform them into the hind flippers and/or tail of a pinniped, the species of which can vary.
Selkies are a fairly good choice for a Water-type pokegirl in a traveling Tamer's harem, as they can travel away from water for a while (though they'd rather be near it whenever possible). They generally have mild natures, and don't usually vie for positions of power within a harem, and are fair, if unspectacular, in physical combat. They can be trained to do some non-combat tasks, and are excellent at fishing or at ferrying Tamers across bodies of water, even in cold climates since they have a layer of blubber. In addition, their popularity with fishing communities and swimmers means domestic Selkies are pretty easy to come by in coastal areas.
Pokegirl owners not intent on physical combat will often find a Selkie even more suitable. Their flexibility and lung capacity make them decent at sex-battling, and a good showpiece for contests and competitions. As noted, they excel at fishing and often help fishing Tradesmen locate schools, move and set nets or traps, and haul in a catch. They're also quite excellent with children, and make good swimming instructors, babysitters, and lifeguards, though they often see competition from Beach Bunnies, Swim Sluts, and Wet'n'Wild Sidekicks in these areas.
Selkies are excellent at oral sex, since they can hold their breath for a long time; the record is two hours underwater. They usually prefer their more human shape for Taming. A new owner, whether by capture or transaction, will usually have to keep the Selkie's seal-skin away from her, lest she run away. Hiding the skin is usually a good trick. Once a bond sets in, he can return the skin to her, but he has to be careful to maintain the bond. If the skin is destroyed, the Selkie can no longer change her shape, and will usually become suicidally depressed or evolve into a Penance; penalties ensue according to League policy. The skin cannot be used to transform anybody other than the Selkie it belongs to.
Human girls of Selkie ancestry who enter Threshold slowly transform into their seal shape, then literally tear their seal skin off and emerge in their near-human form. This can be a horrifying experience to the girl, and unless she is raised in a family with other Selkies to console her, a Conditioning Cycle is usually recommended. Selkies are a fairly common Threshold result in coastal towns.
Feral Selkies behave much like pre-Sukebe pinnipeds, save for sunbathing on rocks with their seal-skins removed, and are not known to be aggressive toward humans without provocation. Sunbathing Selkies may be approached similarly to the legend, by stealing one's seal-skin; a feral Selkie will not resort to violence even in this situation unless directly threatened or taunted, and can be Tamed safely (oral sex is not recommended for a feral Selkie). This is not recommended for amateurs, as a Selkie who does feel threatened can kill a human even in her own Near-Human shape, and she might have companions nearby who rush to her defence.

Though Kelpie are often thought to be cousins to the Flowergirl, they are by no means the attack-less sex battle tanks that their land bound cousins are. Kelpie do have quite a few attacks they can utilise and within their kelp forest homes they can be a challenge to any Tamer. Kelpie are very territorial about the plants under her protection, using their advantage against water types to keep all but the most persistent or sneaky out of their kelp forests. Despite this territorial nature, Kelpie are still prised by fishermen as kelp forests are productive seafood areas. Many small scale fishermen exchange fishing rights of a Kelpie's forest for taming, and as such it is hard to find many feral Kelpie near fishing villages. Indeed, many Kelpie have their favourites, fishermen who always seem to catch the bigger better fish from her own forest. Kelpie can also sometimes be found on the fringes of a Wet Elf Queendom, usually as gardeners or servants to the Wet Elves, Wet Lasses, and Wet Queens.
Kelpie at first seem to be blue-green skinned human females, but upon closer inspection, they are found to have gill slits running in between their ribs on their sides. Their ribs act as protection and support for their modified lung system, allowing the Kelpie to breathe on both land and underwater. A Kelpie usually has actual seaweed for hair and uses this in photosynthesis, though occasionally this 'hair' will be torn off partially or wholly from fights only to regenerate in the weeks following. Kelpie also has webbed hands and feet, to assist in swimming, but these advantages also limit what the domesticated Kelpie can wear. The need to keep their gills free almost always makes the Kelpie choose simple clothing that leaves the rib area free. Backless swimsuits and dresses that expose the rib area and tie at the neck are almost always favoured over anything else. Many type of shoes are also uncomfortable, but some Kelpie can find ones they will wear. Tamed feral Kelpie often forgo wearing much more than a short skirt or loin cloth.
Kelpie rely on photosynthesis through their skin and hair to supply their bodies with needed energy. Though they -can- eat and derive enjoyment from the tastes of foods, they do so for the essential nutrients their bodies needs. Tamers and Pet Owners are advised to give an active Kelpie multivitamin supplements and let her have at least 4 hours nude or mostly nude in the sunlight each day, or the Pokégirl will start suffering the effects of malnutrition and eventually starve to death. Tamers need not worry about their Kelpie becoming dehydrated, as they are very apt at keeping their water levels in check. A landbound Kelpie only needs roughly twice the amount of water that a normal human needs.
While all Kelpie are territorial, Kelpie that find themselves in a Harem setting tend to view jobs as territory, and usually compartmentalise jobs when placed in an Alpha or Beta position. As such, even when not in an Alpha or Beta position, a Kelpie tends to find an area to call her own, be it finding food, cooking, or navigating and hold claim on that position. In battle, they tend to use what they have to their advantage, attacking foes at a distance and hindering them with Command Plants or her own unique attack Command Fish.
Feral Kelpie are often found lounging on isolated beaches where they can make a quick escape into the water should they be harassed as well as keep and eye on their nearby kelp forest. When found in their kelp forest, they tend to harass offenders until they leave, though they rarely kill outright (unfortunately, most feral Kelpie do not understand that some beings can't breathe underwater).
Thresholding into a Kelpie is common around fishing villages, as many times Kelpie mothers give human children over to their fishermen favourites. One of the first signs of threshold into a Kelpie is webbing growing in between the digits of the hands and feet.
