Chapter 10 - Seeds of Friendship
*Ding, ding*
Akari heard a strange, soft chime as the morning light filtered into the room. At first, she tried to ignore it, snuggling back into the soft warm pillow beneath her head. As her mind started to awaken and process more, she snapped awake. A large round breast was right in front of her eyes, its twin underneath her head. She sat up quickly, accidentally yanking the blankets off of her and Kassi.
"Akari…what's wrong?" Kassi said sleepily, eyes slowly coming into focus.
"Uh, uhm. It's nothing. Just forgot where I was when I woke is all," she looked around, noticing that the Pokemon were all huddled together around the dying embers of the firepit. "What was that noise?"
"Oh, this bloody thing." Kassi said, she held her hand up and the Arc Phone floated into it.
Last night she had given a quick demonstration on how she could use her powers, the telekinesis still unnerved Akari a bit. It was almost like the object was haunted or had a mind of its own.
Kassi glanced at the screen, seemed to wince for a second, then lie back into her bedding, face falling into a scowl.
"What is it?" Akari asked, curious why Kassi looked so frustrated at the strange device.
"This," she answered turning around the device and letting Akari read the message:
New Achievement Towards Goal: Emotional bond with a Pokemon - (5) Complete. Reward: Ability to converse telepathically - range 90 meters
Daily Achievements:
Fan the Flame - Physically bond with a fire type: (1) Experience Gained: Damage Resistance to Fire Based Attacks increased to 5%
Akari had to read it a couple of times before she fully grasped what was going on. "So…you gain resistance to damage by," she blushed, "having intercorse with Pokemon?"
Kassi sat up and glanced back down at the phone. "I used to think it was when I bonded with my partner Pokemon. You know, actually formed an emotional bond through sex." She half-heartedly tossed the phone, only going a couple of feet and landing on the tatami mats with a light *plunk*. "But it seems that isn't the case. I could probably just go slut it up in the wilds for a couple of weeks and have full resistance to all kinds of things." She pulled her knees up and put her head between them, wrapped her arms around those and seemed to pull into a ball.
Akari could feel the sense of wrongness that radiated off Kassi. She wasn't very good with people, that's why I chose to work with Pokemon even though they're dangerous, but she felt that she should do…something.
"You know, I think that might be the answer for some, but not the answer for you. Maybe," Akari paused as Kassi looked into her eyes, those crystal blue eyes were wet with impending tears, "maybe that's why this Arceus chose you. Because you don't want the power by any means it would take to get it."
"No, that tosser would have me be a slag if it were up to him." She pouted and put her chin on her knee.
"I have no idea what those words mean, but I can infer." Akari picked up the phone and to her surprise, it turned on and opened. "May I see the other messages?" She held the device out to Kassi to push the right "button".
Kassi obliged, tapping the messages app, then swiping all the way to the top.
Akari scrolled through, with a little help from Kassi on how to do so, and read all the messages she'd been given so far. Her face burned with embarrassment when she read about sleeping with humans, then that burn turned into an inferno when she read about the analingus. Do people really enjoy such things?! That seems so…dirty. Wait…this one about convincing a community member to copulate with a Pokemon…was that about me and Pikachu…I mean Mochi…that's still gonna take getting used to. And then it says spy on a human copulating with a Pokemon!?
Akari's face was a deep, burning crimson when she handed the Arc phone back to Kassi, she'd even grabbed some of the blanket and was trying to hide behind it.
Kassi pulled out of her funk long enough to notice the strange behavior, "Akari…what's wrong?"
Akari squeaked, an annoying habit she'd never been able to break. Whenever she was surprised or anxious, the damn squeak always slipped out. "You knew," it barely came out as a whisper.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you."
"You SAW!" This time Akari screamed it, though if it was from anger, embarrassment, or even the self-loathing that was rising within her, she didn't know. She locked eyes with Kassi, who seemed surprised by the outburst.
Kassi blinked a few times, then broke eye contact and looked away. "Yeah, I did. I knew about the hole and put on a show for your sake."
Akari sat there, mind reeling for several seconds. She thought back to that night. How incredibly sexy Kassi had seemed that night. How, unlike the first time she'd peeked on the strange woman and had been flabbergasted to find her mid-coitus with a Pokemon, how much better she had been able to see what was happening. She remembered how much higher her desires seemed to be after witnessing the stunning Kassi mate with her Pokemon repeatedly. Finally she remembered what had sent her over the edge and convinced her to mate with Mochi. It had been the thought of a Pikachu with an erection…something she had never seen or imagined before that night.
"Did you use your powers to trick me into sleeping with Mochi?!" Akari screamed.
Kassi tried to look away, but Akari leaned in and put her face into Kassi's. She would NOT allow Kassi to get out of explaining herself.
"Trick? No…" she looked into Akari's eyes, "more like…pressured? No wrong word…suggested? Nudged…yes, nudged…I only nudged a little."
"And who asked you to nudge?!" The last word came out like a growl.
All of the Pokemon were now awake and watching their Trainers stare at each other. Akari loomed over Kassi, an aura of anger leaking off her in waves.
Kassi took a deep breath, then returned the intensity of Akari's gaze. "Your heart and mind were fighting over it. I just…took a side ."
Anger, embarrassment, betrayal, and gratitude all flooded through Akari. She was so confused how to respond. She didn't regret bonding with Mochi. The experience had been wonderful and she knew she would do it again if given the choice. But now she was finding out it hadn't been her choice. She wanted to scream, she wanted to yell, she wanted to run away. Her eyes started to sting and she sat back on her heels, rubbing at eyes and willing them to stop.
A tiny paw touched her thigh. "Pika?" She looked down and saw Mochi standing there, head cocked, eyes full of concern. He'd never done that before. This Pikachu had always been so aloof before, content to stay across the room after she'd fed him. He hadn't even come out of his ball while she'd been laid up in the Medical Corps for a week after getting hit by that Shinx's Thundershock.
Mochi hopped onto her lap and stretched to reach her face. Gently, he licked away some of the tears that had rolled onto her cheek, then sat back down, looking into her eyes.
"Pikachu?" Mochi said, cocking his head.
"He's asking if you're hurt." Kassi said.
"No, Mochi…I'm…I'm not hurt."
"Pi-pika-Pika…chu?" He spoke a few times, his tone dropping to a sad tone at the end. He glanced back at Kassi, seeing if she would translate.
"He…wants to know if you regret becoming his mate. He says Pikachu usually mate for life and he was happy you picked him."
The dam broke. Akari scooped her Pikachu up in her arms and squeezed him to her. His soft fur pressed against her chest and his warmth felt like a soothing balm against her raw emotions. Kassi was right, but also wrong at the same time. She didn't hate the decision she had made, but she did hate that she had been influenced in such a way, in such a short time, by a woman she barely knew.
Akari cried and cuddled Mochi for several minutes before she was finally able to master herself once more. By that time, she'd had enough time to run over the situation and how she wanted to respond several times. She decided that Kassi had acted in a way that, to her, made sense. But her decision hadn't taken into account Akari's own beliefs at the time. The consequence should then be that Kassi owed recompense to her in some fashion.
Finally, she realized that dwelling on this, or running away from it, would do neither of them any good. For both of their sake, she needed to be strong and move forward. She sniffed and took a deep breath, resetting her composure before speaking. "Kassi, what you did was wrong, even if you did it for what you perceived was a good reason."
Kassi looked ashamed, but nodded. "Akari, I'm-"
"I wasn't finished speaking."
"-sorry."
Akari nodded and started to speak in a calm, even tone. "As such, I demand recompense for your actions." She shifted Mochi so he was sitting on her hip.
Kassi nodded again.
"You forced my hand into become the mate of a Pokemon. Obviously this is a skill you are fully comfortable and practiced in. Therefore, I would have you instruct me in this skill to be your equal."
Kassi looked up, stunned confusion clear on her face. "Wait…let me get this straight…you are asking for sex lessons as an apology for nudging you into having sex with your Pokemon?"
Akari blushed, but nodded. "In not so many words…yes."
Kassi didn't say anything for several seconds…then her lips curled into a wry smile. "Okay, that sounds fair." She dropped her voice to a whisper, which Akari barely caught, "Rei would be so bloody proud of me."
Akari scowled, but let it pass.
"So then, let's get started!" Kassi motioned for her Eevee, Hero, to join her.
"W-w-what!? Now!?" Akari sputtered.
"Of course! When else?"
"Tonight! After we've finished our day and are settling in for the night!"
Kassi looked at Akari and then down at Hero, who had already flopped down in front of the busty blonde by some unspoken command. She shrugged as best she could while lying on her stomach and propped up on her arms.
"Okay, though I'll have to bond with my whole team afterwards. After yesterday I want to build my damage resistance to various types quickly."
Akari blushed once more, but couldn't fault the logic in her argument.
They both got around for the day. Akari's curiosity was outweighed by the ember of anger that still bubbled inside of her. She quizzed Kassi on her experiences so far with the abilities she'd been given. The answer was lackluster, however as she claimed she hadn't really had a chance to explore them.
"So let's start there today. We'll get breakfast from Naomi and head out to the practice field." Akari said, pulling on her uniform top.
"Oh? You're gonna help me test my lube spit?" Kassi put on her pink basic kimono without any chest bindings.
Akari blushed furiously, but didn't rise to bait.
They rounded up their Pokemon and set out, stopping by Galaxy Headquarters to report to Captain Cyllene about Kassi's state.
Once the Captain had inspected her like a mother Staravia over her chicks, she awarded Kassi her first star for all the research she'd managed to complete the previous day.
"That a stranger like you should fall from the sky and yet flourish among us, even in the face of extreme hardship, like this is a testament to your native talent and hard work. Most people prefer it when things are simple enough to be judged on face value alone. And proving your worth by moving up through our ranks is something anyone can understand. Keep at it, and even if you did fall from the sky, people may be more willing to accept you. Working your way through the ranks will also be a help if you wish to make a life for yourself here." Cyllene said, reverting to her default serious manner. Akari wished she would show her true-self more often.
Professor Laventon also emerged from his lab to check on Kassi and seemed relieved that she seemed well.
Akari noticed that Kassi didn't seem fond of all the fuss being made over her. It was subtle things, like shuffling her feet, or fidgeting with the hem of her kimono top.
"Ah! If you're up to it, we've received a request from the Diamond Clan. They'd like you to meet Mai on the bridge tomorrow morning, Akari." He eyed Kassi, "Kassi you're welcome to join her if you feel up to it. The Diamond Clan has been here since before the Galaxy Team arrived. If we establish good relations, I'm sure there's much we might learn from them, including more about the local Pokemon…" Professor Laventon walked off, muttering to himself with an idea that had suddenly overtaken him.
"Is he always like that?" Kassi whispered to Akari as they made their way out of Galaxy Hall.
"What, hopelessly aloof and prone to fits of spontaneous strangeness?"
"That, and a total goofball."
They started to giggle as they walked down the stairs.
In the name of testing her new abilities, Kassi asked if she could try something to get Naomi faster. Akari agreed…she shouldn't have. Kassi pulled out her phone and pulled up a map of the town, pulled Akari into her side, pushed a blue button, and suddenly Akari felt the world lurch. She felt like she was turned upside down, pushed into a hole the size of her pinky, then spun around like a Hitmontop at full speed. A second later they were standing outside of Naomi's bakery and she was on all fours retching in the grass.
"Wow, that was way more intense than when I do it myself." Kassi said. She didn't throw up, but she held her head and stomach like she was using great effort to not do so.
"I never want to do that again." Akari said, spitting the acrid bile out and wiping her mouth with her kerchief.
"Agreed, only if necessary. That sucked…and not in a fun way."
Naomi appeared in the door to her bakery. It took some careful explaining and a couple of lies to explain why Akari had suddenly vomited outside of her shop. They blamed it on the alcohol from last night. Kassi had sworn her to secrecy about her powers for the time being.
Naomi took pity on them and gave each of them some hot tea and honey cakes to help soothe their supposed ails and then sent them on their way. She was such a sweet woman, though Akari had noticed Kassi and her exchange a couple of strange glances during their visit. Have they already met?
The morning air was sweet as they passed the southern gates and walked out to the practice field. Kassi started talking about some ideas she had to increase the comforts around town and started to pick Akari's brain about it. Most of the answers boiled down to, "Sounds like you need to talk to the Professor," or "sounds like you should bring this to Sanqua, the head of the construction Corps." One, however she did find perplexing despite Kassi's best efforts to describe it…what was a "proper privy"?
The practice field was empty and both of them let their Pokemon out to play and explore in the relative safety of the cove. For some reason, wild Pokemon rarely came to this area, which is why many of the Survey and Security Corps members came here to practice.
"Okay, what should we try first?" Kassi asked, looking at Akari.
"Uhm, well we could test your resistance to types of damage if you wish. Or those new forms."
"Aw, darn. I was hoping to try out that other thing…guess it can just be a reward," she winked and Akari felt herself blush. Kassi pulled out her phone and tapped it a couple of times. "Huh, that's weird."
"What seems to be amiss?"
"It has a slider on the bottom, as well as buttons for gender, and then some little red skull…gonna stay away from that," Kassi tapped a few times and moved the slider back and forth a few times, but nothing changed. "Strange, I can have both genders on at once, just one, or none at all. Well…I guess we start with…five percent and female?"
Akari nodded her agreement and took a step back.
Kassi hit the button and there was a flash of golden light accompanied by the Arc Phone making a flute-like whistle. A second later, Kassi stood there visibly changed. A small inch-long horn had started to grow from her forehead, she stood a bit taller and her legs had gained a little bit of muscle. Her chest was also slightly larger, now bulging against her kimono top. The most notable difference, however, was that the tips of her hair looked like flickering tongues or fire.
"Wow! That's incredible!" Akari reached her hand out towards Kassi's hair. She could feel the warmth of the fire, but even when she passed her hand through it, she wasn't burned. "That's amazing! How can the fire not burn me?"
"Rapidash and Ponyta don't burn those they trust with their flames. Guess I trust you." Kassi was patting her body, bouncing her increased bosom, and then inspecting her nails, which had turned a tough looking black.
"Should we try a bit more?" Kassi asked.
"Wait, let's see if anything else has changed in this form. Like, are you any faster, or stronger? Can you use fire attacks like a Pokemon?" Akari's mind was buzzing with questions. Now, she almost regretted not bringing Professor Laventon with them to have more of his insight. She scrambled and took out her sketch pad and immediately started to sketch Kassi's new form. "Stand still for a moment."
"Just take a picture of me, you can sketch that later…I might even let you get anatomical sketches if you ask nicely."
"Oh! That would be wonderful! It would be so interesting to track the physiological changes that your body undergoes during your transformation. Like, at what point will your knees reverse direction to match a…" Akari saw that Kassi was staring at her with a flat stare, "what?"
"Nothing, you just are terrible at catching my advances when you start to geek out. It's actually really cute. Here," she handed the Arc Phone to Akari and had her take several pictures from all angles. "Now bump it up to twenty-five percent."
Akari fiddled with the device a few seconds before she finally figured out how to drag the slider to the desired setting then pressed, "Accept". There was another flash, and Kassi changed even further.
Kassi was still mostly human in shape. Her knees were now backwards like those of most quadrupeds ending in hooves (the shoes had vanished); but she still had arms and hands with five fingers, though each digit now ended in solid black tips. She now stood over six feet (182cm) and her body was rippling with muscle, skin covered in an almost invisibly-short light tan fur. Her Kimono top had shifted off of her shoulders and now barely contained her enormous breasts, each as big as Akari's head. Kassi's hair was all flames, and she had also sprouted a tail that was also made of fire. Her ears were long and stood up underneath the fiery mane. The middle of her forehead now sporting a five inch horn and her mouth was now a short snout and muzzle. There was also a very obvious bulge in Kassi's bottoms.
"Wow, that feels weird. Doesn't hurt but…" Kassi trailed off, and also glanced down at her lower abdomen, though she had to almost double over in order to see past her own chest, "Akari, what other settings did you press?"
Akari glanced at the device and saw that she'd accidentally pressed the male button while figuring out the slider. "Uhm…" she held the device out for Kassi. It was hard to not stare directly at the twitching bulge as she did so.
Kassi looked at the device, then smirked. "Would you like to see? I know I'm certainly curious…" She reached for the belt of her bottoms even as Akari tried to hide her face behind her scarf in embarrassment, then fumbled with the catch. "I can't feel anything with these new fingers." The flames that cuffed Kassi's wrists hissed with her frustration.
"It's just as well Kassi, let me just…" Akari couldn't finish the sentence as the phone flew out of her hand and over to Kassi, who's horn was glowing a faint purple.
"Oh wow. I'm sorry, that was WAY more power than I meant to put into that." She reached up and touched her horn. "Interesting. Now, you pushed the button and agreed to help me figure out this stuff, so help me." She gestured towards her belt.
"Kass I really don't…"
"Akari…I'm not asking you to do anything other than help me get my pants off. If you were suddenly hung like a Rapidash, wouldn't you want to see it too?"
Akari tried to shake her head, tried to deny it to herself; but when she thought about it… "yes, I would also be curious." Her cheeks burned furiously.
"Good girl. Now help me take my belt off. If you want to turn away after that, I get it." Kassi wiggled her hips and her bust swayed with the motion, causing a few stitches in her kimono to pop. "Bloody…and where are my shoes?!"
Akari took small steps towards Kassi, trying to push the shame of this situation down, and failing miserably. How did this happen? Before I'd met Kassi I had never even touched myself…now this? What is this crazy woman doing to me? She deftly undid the belt and then stepped back quickly. Her hands came up and covered her eyes, though fingers parted, her curiosity too great.
"Ah, that feels so much better. I didn't realize how tight they were. Ok," Kassi shook herself then smiled, which looked strange on her new muzzle. She tugged at her pants, and grunted when they got stuck, apparently her hips had grown wider as well. Eventually they relented after a spirited shove from Kassi and rolled down.
Heavy balls, each the size of a Pokeball flopped out. Atop them sat a half-flaccid horse member, sticking out of its sheath. Even at half mast Akari could tell it was as long as her forearm. The head had a small flare and it was super smooth. After getting a good look, Akari spun and closed her fingers fully. I shouldn't have looked…I should NOT have looked.
"Holy bloody hell! Akari! Did you see this thing?! Fuck, it's like…the perfect size. Just big enough to not hurt, but definitely fill you all the way up. Damn I wish I could feel this inside of me. Ugh…ouch, note to self, these stupid hoof fingers pinch. Ah! Still got my lady-bits too. Futanari mode! Amazi-hiii-ing!" Kassi's cheer sounded like a neigh and was cut off by a slapping sound. She made some more noises, then Akari felt the woman stop. "Akari, did you want those pictures or not?"
"Uhm…n-n-no…I meant not now, just…Ugh! Kassi put your pants back on!" Akari still wasn't facing her.
"No can do, in fact, I'm worried what might happen to this top if my tits get any bigger."
Akari heard some fabric shuffle and as she turned around she saw that Kassi was standing there, fully naked in her new form. Her face went bright scarlet at the sight and she was shocked her nose didn't start to bleed. Quickly and without looking as much as could be managed, she took a few photos for Kassi, then handed the phone back.
"Okay, 50% here we go!" Kassi pushed a couple of buttons on her phone and changed in another golden flash. This time, she resembled a centaur. Her upper torso still maintained much of the look it had had before with a large chest, pointed ears, horn, etc. But her lower body was that of a large Rapidash. Where her human torso met her new hindquarters the fur grew a bit longer and corser. She now towered over Akari.
"That's incredible Kassi! And no male parts this time." Akari said, much to her relief.
"Yeah, teasing you is fun and all, but you were getting too distracted by my amazing equine cock. Figured if I left it in this form at least you could pay attention instead of drooling all over me." Kassi winked.
"I was NOT drooling!" Akari stamped her foot at the accusation.
"Uh huh, and Pidove isn't useless." She quipped, handing the phone to Akari so she could get more photos. They even experimented with Kassi turning off both genders in this form. It flattened out her chest, narrowed her hips, and made her smaller, but much more sleek and lithe looking.
75% turned out to be an abomination, however. Kassi looked like someone had glued a pair of human breasts to the front of a Rapidash with a smashed face and there were weird stubby arms sticking out at the front shoulders. They both agreed to quickly move up to 100%. That turned out to just be a full Rapidash. Kassi's size changed with her gender, surprisingly the female form being larger than the male.
"Akari, I want to run, but don't have a saddle. Here." They had found that even in her full Rapidash form she could still manipulate the Arc Phone with her mind. She changed back into her 50% centaur form. This time, her top reappeared on her chest. "Odd…at least it fits better this time." Indeed, the fabric seemed better fitted to her chest, it almost looked like what Kassi had described last night as a bra. "Hop on!"
Akari didn't get a chance to protest. She felt Kassi lift her up with her telekinesis and onto her hindquarters. Quickly, she wrapped her arms around Kassi's human torso and held on tight. Kassi took off like a shot. Quickly going over the mound that sheltered the practice field and over the grounds above it. The grounds here were rolling rocky hills that were planned as fields in the future. It only took a few seconds for Kassi to reach a full gallop, wind whipping past Akari. She'd never gone so fast before and the thrill was amazing.
The strength of Kassi's muscles rippled underneath her with each step and she could see the top fighting to keep her massive breasts in check with the rough gait. To be a friend, Akari moved her hands up and locked her wrists together around Kassi's chest. She could barely get her arms all the way around them at this point.
"Thanks…*huff huff* for that. Guess that sleek *huff huff* form will have some uses after all." Kassi's face was lit up with a wide smile as she continued to run in a circle around the grounds. Their Pokemon all cheered and made happy noises from the clearing and Kassi managed to wave at them as they ran.
Several minutes later, they made it back to their team, Kassi out of breath, but smiling ear to ear with her equine grin. Akari hopped off her flank and Kassi put herself back into her normal human form; clothes reappearing on her body looking fresh and in place. She flopped onto her back and started to laugh between gulping lungfuls of air.
"That was amazing!" Akari said, choosing to flop down in the grass beside her. The Pokemon all trundled over and joined in the snuggle pile.
Kassi didn't answer, she just giggled happily and scratched the head of her Cyndaquil.
"Does this mean you'll be my noble steed out in the wilds?" Akari teased, nudging Kassi playfully.
"You can ride me whenever you want." Kassi teased back, her breathing finally back to normal.
Akari blushed, but not as much as she would have previously. She was starting to get used to Kassi's teasing. And she was finding that she liked it…maybe even more than like it.
