Tamer Gothic - Book 3 - Battle City
Part 49
Battle Arena. Mr House's Island.
The next fight was Babs vs Gaia the Magic Knight.
After the damage done to the field by the two previous fights, the arena field had to be switched out for another. The entire field was sunk underground and a brand new field was raised up. Which made me think of John Hammond from the first Jurassic Park film, like Mr House he had "Spared no expense".
Yami soon sent out his Magic Knight, that given the name probably evolved from a Earthmaiden, the only one that could come close to matching her on equal footing was Kara, who while never lethal in fight was a warrior, but there were still 3 opponents after this and I figured that I may need her for a later match. Kira wasn't suitable either because of all the armour the knight wore, her attacks and weapons were meant to take pokes down fast by attacking vulnerable spots, which this knight didn't seem to have. As for my Nightmare, well while Daphne could easily evade any attack, she would likely wear herself out try to crack the durability of Earth element Magic Knight.
While waiting for the field to be set up Thomas had reminded me of what happened when he had fought Ron Wesley and his Magic Knight. He made me realise that it was possible to defeat a powerful poke with a lesser one if the weaker poke was random and bloody annoying.
Babs was pretty close to being a Loony Toon and they always win against the big stupid ones. Which was why I was going to send her out to face the magic knight. Even if I lost it would be really entertaining, and since his was all being recorded for broadcasting in Thrill Town it mattered if I put on a show.
So I threw her Pokeball, which she had gone back into while waiting for the repairs for some reason, and she popped out again in an Alice and Wonder costume, which to my shame I liked for her to wear when Taming. I wasn't sure why, she looked cute in it, but it wasn't exactly a sexy outfit. My only theory was that I must have seen some live action version of the book when I was young and had gotten a little crush on Alice. Either that I was just crazy.
Another person being crazy was my poke. Rather than be intimated by the knight, Babs was soon pouring herself a cup of tea from a teapot.
"Is it time for Tea?" she asked.
The Magic Knight stomped up to her radiating intimidation, as much as Rebbecca had radiated sickening sweetness. Babs simply looked up at the larger poke with mild curiosity.
"How about a spot of tea to settle our differences?" she said while offering Gaia a cup.
The Magic Knight took the offered drink and crushed the cup in her gloved hand.
"Well that was rude" Babs respond as she grabbed hold of both the handle and spout of the teapot a second before a flood of boiling hot tea hit the Magic Knight " and you made me waste a perfectly good pot of tea on you, you... savage"
I could see that the tea was steaming off the Magic Knight due to how hot it is. Yet this only seemed to annoy Gaia who pulled out her sword, in response Babs put away the teapot into somewhere and pulled out what looked like a long kitchen knife. In fact I was sure that it was one of the thing the kitchen staff had complained about Babs messing about with, among other things. Dinner had almost been delayed because of her pinching things.
"The Vorpal Blade is swift and keen, and always ready for service" Alice declared.
I heard Raven, who while tired wasn't physically hurt, gasp and comment about how Babs has been carrying around such a powerful artifact this entire time. However I knew that it was just an odd looking kitchen knife. It was magical, it was just enchanted to allow somehow to cut up onions without crying.
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
longtime the manxsome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tum-Tum Tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And later,
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
Once Babs had finished the short and pointless poem, Gaia swung her sword and Babs raised the 'Vorpal Blade' to block it, they connected and the Vorpal Blade was broken in two, with the blade part off the knife going flying off.
Babs was left holding only the handle. She looked at the handle and sighed.
"They just don't make them like they used to" she then said.
While I tried to recall what attack Harlequin's had, Gaia was working towards another slash, one that could cut my poke in half if something wasn't done. Not that anyone needed to worry as with her Foresight ability along with her Enhanced Senses and Enhanced Agility (x5), Bab was easily able to dodge the attack.
My jester poke zipped out of her Alice costume, leaving it to be slashed into pieces. I liked that costume and was sad to see it go, but perhaps it could be repaired, we had the technology, or at least a sowing kit.
In the blink of an eye, Babs was at the other end of field, having used Quick Attack to run rather than fight, and she now in her pink Jester costume.
She then started digging through her bag for a proper weapon, the first thing that she finds is a round black bomb with a rope wick that she lit up and threw at the Magic Knight.
I listened as Yami ordered Gaia to use Enhancement Shift which increased her Durability enough to withstand the blast, at least in theory. However when the bomb exploded it only covered the Magic Knight in confetti and streamers.
Babs actually looks surprised at the results
"Oops, wrong one!" she called out.
The she resumed digging through her bag of tricks and was soon throwing random items at the Magic Knight in attempt to slow down Gaia.
"What all does she have in there?" I heard my sister ask loudly enough to be heard over the laughing crowd.
"Everything, but the kitchen sink" Thomas responded.
As soon as he said that there was a loud clang followed by absolute silence. Now there was an actual kitchen sink hanging off the Magic Knight's helmet.
Gothica broke the silence which followed.
"Well, now she has thrown everything including the kitchen sink" she said.
That had also gone missing from the Fortress's massive kitchen, thankfully they'd not needed it, they had spares.
Gaia took the now broken sink off her head and tossed it back at Babs who showed off her flexibility by dodging it.
"A million SLC worth of prank supplies and I would trade it all back for one lousy can opener" I then heard the jester poke say.
I was now wondering how much of that million had come out of my bank accounts, and also I thought that we could a have a massive garage sale once I'd evolved Bab into a Lady Lucky.
That trail of thought came to end when I saw that Gaia was now only a few steps away from my poke.
"Oh well guess I will have to make do with a classic" Babs said as she raise up a little can labelled OIL and squirted out a shot that lands right where Gaia was about to step.
Gaia stepped on the oil spot and her leg went flying out from under as her sword goes flying up into the air, as I tracked its flight I watched a very quick witted Pokegirl pull her Tamer out of the way so that it wouldn't end up skewering them both.
When I looked back to the battle I saw that Babs was holding down the lever of the oil can and was soaking the Magic Knights so that she kept slipping every time tried she stood up. The powerful poke couldn't get any traction at all. It was so funny.
Soon Babs pulled out her giant mallet and slowly walked over to Gaia, unlike when she was a Trixie and could barely lift it, she had no such problem now.
Within moments she was twirling her giant mallet while whistling a happy tune. Then in what seemed to be slow motion she used the mallet like it is a golf club, and with a cry of "Fore!" she sent the Magic Knight flying to crashing into the wall of the Arena.
Gaia fell out of the wall, leaving a massive dent in it, and looked up only to see that Babs was spraying oil all over field, while skating around on the lubricated field.
I was left wondering if there was a sex gym that specialised in pokes sex battling in baby oil. If there wasn't and Yami got the magic gym, I was so going to set one up and keep Babs the way was so that she could dominate that arena as she did this one.
As I was thinking about that Babs skated over to Gaia and soaked her foe in more oil, before going into a twirling spin and somehow changing into hockey gear with a great big goalie stick. This new outfit did not make me want to Tame her, but it was still cool.
She lowered the hockey mask and proceeded to use Gaia as hockey puck all around the field. Eventually Yami gave up just to stop the crazy Harlequin from repeatedly putting his poke girl into the wall. Although this didn't matter much as the Magic Knight had lost by hitting the wall the first time, as that had involved leaving the edge of the arena.
(Line Break)
Kara (Gardelfwhor) vs Lucia (Gardelfwhor)
It is subtle, but after Babs' victory Yami was no longer amused by this little contest between the two of us. Just meeting his gaze across the arena led to the hairs on the back of my neck stiffing to the point I felt as if I might cut my hand open by touching them.
Yami soon sent out Lucia and one look at her filled me with dread as anyone that knows Nintendo can recognise one of their top mascots. He may call her Lucia, but I knew that she was really a female Link, she even had the hat.
Aside from the green tunic, she had metal plates across the back of the gloves, steel plated brown boots, a sword in left hand, and a green cloak wrapped around her neck that flowed behind her despite there being not much a breeze here. There was no shield in sight, but it could be hidden on her back behind the cloak.
To see a Gardelfwhor wearing so much metal and carrying a sword was an odd sight, most of that breed wore light armour and used a staff because they'd rather end up in a sex battle than a real fight. This elf seemed more of a warrior than Kara did.
Once both Kara and Lucia were out on the field I took a few moments to compare the two of them to one another and I took pride in that Lucia only has C cup breast compared to Kara's larger rack, and overall Kara has a much sexier figure in all aspects, at least in my view.
Before the fight could begin Lucia fully turned away to face Yami so that she could inform him that with her opponent being another Gardelfwhor that there are certain rituals that they need to go through before their duel.
After checking with the judge, he gave permission for her to do so and soon two sets of eyes were turned upon me as the pokes were seeking permission to do the same. I just knew this is a trap, but with Kara giving me the puppy eyes and all but begging, I relented.
Once my permission was given, Lucia sheathed her sword, before moving to the very centre of the field and sitting down on her knees. Kara mimicked her movements and knelt down across from her. Lucia then put down her sheathed sword in front of Kara and my sexy elf placed her quarterstaff down in front of Lucia.
Lucia soon brought out a thermos and some wooden cups before pouring some herbal tea for both of them and sharing some Elven Bread. This was not something I'd seen elves do before, but Gardelfwhors were rare, and this was a lot more formal than a normal meeting between two such elves.
The food and drink was followed by Lucia properly introducing herself to Kara as the Daughter of someone I'd never heard, the Guardian of the ElfCourt that was somewhere I also had ever heard about, and as the Champion of her court and Elf Queen. Kara followed the example, and I saw the female Link twitch at the mention of Kara's mother, Meilikara.
Lucia was now sharing with Kara a few pointers about being a Gardelfwhor and what it entailed in an ElfCourt. My dread grew worse as they talked, I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It started with a small comment on how difficult it must have been for Kara growing up in the Forbidden Forest, Kara brushed it off saying that the Drow Zee were only occasionally a problem. Which of course made Kira huffy.
Lucia then corrected her saying that it must have been a difficult life being the daughter of Meilikara, the only Elf to ever become a ElfQueen after having been banished from ever entering all other ElfCourts in the Crimson League.
Kara's cup fell from her hands and spilled out on the floor as she was informed of this. Of course she immediately started to deny it. Only for Lucia to explain that Meilikara's views, which were a bit man hating, were unwelcome in the ElfCourts and when she began to gather followers to challenge the rules of the ElfCourts she was defeated and banished.
Which made sense as why else would she set up her own ElfCourt in the very same forest already held by Dark Elf Matrons? Because there no other ElfCourt would contest her territory.
Kara tried to defend her mother, alas Lucia was easily able tear apart her defences with only a few words. The exact words were hard to make out, but the effects of what was said could be seen. Kara was soon trembling in rage as she was confronted with an ever growing pile of evidence that her mother was a horrible woman.
Not that anyone other than Kara needed to convinced everyone in my harem, and many members of my team knew that in the Forbidden Forest it was the Dark Elf and Drow-Zee who welcomed visitors and it was the Surface Elves you should avoid.
Finally Kara snapped and attempted to draw Lucia's sword in what I was sure would have been a lethal attack, however the sword refused to budge from it's sheath. And after some scuffling, Lucia proceeds to bat her sheathed sword away from Kara before beating my Beta with her own staff.
They weren't suppose to have a sex battle that was what it quickly turned into and Kara did not win, this time she was the naked poke who ran away crying.
(Line Break)
Kira (Dark Elf) vs Silvia (High Elf)
After Lucia traumatising and humiliating Kara, I was feeling vindictive enough to happily unleash Kira upon Yami's next Pokegirl, with my permission to show them the true power of a Dark Elf
Yami's next Pokegirl was a High Elf that had obviously been effected more than once by Bloom Powder (she looked like an anime/manga big boobie elf, the kind that were well liked in the Edo League) which got me wondering how she could effectively wield the bow she had with her, or not topple over from simply moving. What didn't help was that the only clothes she was wearing was a top that just barely held her breasts in place, she was only wearing a strap that went between her breast to hold the quiver on her back, a loincloth/tabard on her waist, and knee high boots.
Before the fight started I asked Yami if his elf was from the same ElfCourt as Lucia, he simply nodded, and this led to me stoking the fires of Kira's sisterly rage that someone other than her traumatised and humiliated Kara.
When the fight began Kira and I found out very quickly that Silvia could indeed fire arrows from her bow, and very quickly, but Kira's superior speed, agility, and reflexes allowed her to easily evade the arrows.
I just this time admiring the effect of drawing her bow had on High Elf's massive bosom. Especially when she had to turn sideways to fully draw back the bow for a power shot. Her bow being so tightly strung she barely has to pull it back at all for quick shots.
Kira was already having lots of fun frustrating the High Elf archer with her continuous dodging of arrows, but all good things must come to and end, and when the High Elf began to run low on allows Kira counter attack back by flinging throwing knives that seemed to little more than cut away at Silvia's clothes as she just barely dodged them.
However I noticed that now her arrows were straying from further and further from Kira as Silvia's hands begin to shake, her body soon shivered and trembled. Eventually her hand slipped and an arrow clattered to the ground.
Before the High Elf could even begin to recover, or more likely call out for help Kira was throwing away her bow and tackling her to ground. From her position straddling Silvia, Kira was able to grap the other elf's nipples and painfully twist them to prevent her from fighting back. Not that she could have.
"Those throwing knives I hurled at you, all of them were laced with Arachnae's venom. So nice to have a friend that can keep me supplied with it" Kira explained as Silvia stopped moving.
My Dark Elf then took moment to blatantly wave at Thomas as a thank you for the supplies.
"The thing about Arachnae venom is that it induces paralysis in their victims so they can wrap them up and store them away as a snack for later" Kira said next "Now I am going to repay your Harem Sister for what she did to my sister."
Kira proceeds to gag Silvia so that she could verbally yield, meaning that only Yami recalling her would end the battle, and before he did that, Kara added one final insult to injury by taking hold of the High Elf long hair and slicing it off.
(Line Break)
Daphne (Nightmare) vs Nokomis (Wolf Queen) was what it said now on the score board.
Yami was pissed off now that I could tell, he didn't show the outrage visibly, or verbally, but there was something in those eyes that told me that this battle was probably somewhere within his top 5 or maybe just 10 most humiliating moments of his career.
And I could understand why, for him I was a Tamer that had came out of no where, and with less than a year of experience as a Tamer had very nearly forced him into a draw in such a high stakes battle. He might even lose if I was very, very lucky.
I also figured that he was going to do his very best win the final round and make Daphne suffer with his last Pokegirl.
Soon I sent out Daphne and he sent out, Nokomis, a Wolf Queen. An action which one of my team responded to by calling out "BULLSHIT!" on Yami, and I knew why, both if us had agreed to send out our most powerful Pokegirls in the first round. Yami haughtily replied that we two did agree and he kept his word; Maut is his most powerful pokegirl/pokewoman, but Nokomis is his strongest.
My first action, after the buzzer went off, was to order Daphne to take to the air as Nokomis started growing in size as she shifted from Passive Mode to Attack Mode. Daphne transformed into her tauric form at the same time, now looking like a horse than a human.
My Nightmare managed to get up into the air and was soon running laps around the arena up there, however she wasn't safe up there as the Wolf Queen proved when she leaped up and sheared off some of Daphne's left wing when my Nightmare attempted to attack.
This was followed up by a Luna Blast, which was like a Solar Blast only the power for the attack came from stored moonlight, rather than sunlight. Having an injured wing made Daphne just slow enough to be knocked out of the sky. To make matters as she neared the ground the Wolf Queen jumped onto my Nightmare.
Daphne landed harshly, breaking one of her legs due to combined weight and the distance fallen. The Wolf Queen also dug her claws into my Nightmare before I could yield the round. As soon as I did Thomas's Night Nurse was out there on the field preforming Triage.
(Line Break)
Once contest between Yami and myself was over, and he finished making a stupid speech. I mentally reviewed what had just happened. While I'd been able to deny Yami victory, managing a stalemate against a superior opponent, it certainly didn't feel like any sort of success, mostly nothing at all had been resolved.
In many ways it had been a real eye opener showing me my standing against League level opponents. I knew that had only got as far as I did because Yami didn't take the contest seriously until after I'd already had two victories against him.
To make matters worse Callisto had gotten blasted by some mental magic attack that may have lobotomised her or screwed her up worse than she already is. Kara got absolutely crushed in a sex match against another Gardelfwhor while learning traumatising details about her mother's past. Daphne will need extensive healing and has had her confidence shattered.
My battle with Yami had also exposed a weakness within my harem, my over reliance on Callisto and Raven to pull your team through tough spots. While this had worked well enough so far in terms of League matches we needed to do better.
However that would have to wait, Battle City wasn't over yet and while not all of 'girls had been injured they'd all suffered mentally. It was going to take a lot TLC before they'd be able to fight again.
Also I had to prepare myself for whatever stupid challenge Ace thought up to resolve the whole magic gym issue. Hopefully it wouldn't be a card game.
