Chapter 16: Dart's day in the city

Foreword: Hey, readers got an extra chapter for you all.

The tranquility of the sleepy morning was shattered by the loud sound of crashing pots and an angry shout. Startling awake from a pleasant dream Terry jumped up and ran out his tent, tripping over Emy where she had somehow managed to entangle their legs together. Regaining his footing he stuck his head through the flap as the others in the tent woke up.

"What is go-" *crack!* the solid sound of two skulls echoing through the camp interrupted Terry as stars danced behind his eyes. He and his ornithic assailant clutched at their heads and made the same groan "Uuuhhh…"

"Mmm, is something wrong Terry?" Emy asked still bleary eyed from her rude awakening.

It's the pretty plant lady, then that means the mean thing that hit me was… Dart thought to herself as she looked up from between her wings.

"Dart! Terry! Are you two okay?" May shouted in panic as she came over to check on the two of them, receiving a guttural "I'm fine" from Terry.

Pain erupted in Dart's head once more from a new blow to the back of her head. "Dammit! Dart I told stop plucking my feathers! It hurts you idiot!"

Soot stood over Dart with her fist still curled glaring at her, as the flying type held her head again pouting at her harem sister from below.

"Alright break it up you two." May said coming in between her Pokegirls. "Dart, Soot, apologize to each other, and Dart you also apologize to Terry."

"Why do I have to apologize?" Soot turned away with a huff, but the angry look on May's face caused her to falter a bit and mumble a short apology. Satisfied May turned to Terry and brought Dart with her to apologize.

"Don't worry I'm fine. It doesn't even hurt that much." Terry assured them as Luna fussed over the red lump forming in the dead center of his forehead and, Karis stood behind them laughing at her own comment about Dart's amazing accuracy. After placing an ice pack on his forehead, everyone started to pack up and leave the campsite.

After an hour of easy walking they had reached the entrance to Slateport. The first thing to greet the group was awe inspiring view of the expansive sea. The city was alive with a multitude of sights, sound and smells. As the region's largest port, the city's shipyard lived up to that title. Owned by a man known as Captain Stern the shipyard was the birth place of many of the ships that sail the seas around Hoenn; the most recent project was the S.S. Tidal. As well as constructing new boats, the shipyard takes in old boats and sinks them to create habitats for the local sea life and feral water Pokegirls. On the western side of Slateport was the Pokegirl fan club's headquarters. The Fan club had always been a major support of the Pokegirl rights movement, if a bit fanatical in their devotion. Just north of the fan club was the Contest Hall. Slateport was home to the hyper rank of the Pokegirl contest and brought in many tamers as they took on the Pokegirl Contest challenge.

The cities other three main tourist sites are the beach, the Oceanic Museum, and finally the Slateport market. Due to the cities costal climate the beach was open all year round, but saw its highest popularity during the summer as people flocked there for summer vacation. Since it was currently winter the beach was mostly deserted with only a few die-hard beach goers lounging on chairs. South of the shipyard was the Oceanic Museum which not only contained everything someone would need or even want to know about the ocean, but it also doubled as a small research facility dedicated to the studying the ocean floor. The largest and most popular feature of Slateport had to be the market. The lively voices of vendors hawking their goods could always be heard year round. When someone entered the market they were instantly swept away by the whole atmosphere of the place, the smell of sweets and fried foods mingled into the salty sea air making the mouth water while the eye was dazzled by colorful fabrics and trinkets. Anything could be found there from gifts to revolutionary products. At this time the Market was dominated by the arrival of the circus which had spread out and began its displays drawing in as many people as they could.

Upon seeing this sight Terry and May's group stopped and drank in the sights and sounds of this bustling city. Breaking from their trance Terry and May got down to business and started their search for Ron.

"Do you know where your friend said to meet him?" May asked looking out at the impressive crowd.

"No, he didn't say. Ron doesn't seem like the kind of guy who plans ahead." Terry sighed as he pulled out his pokedex. "I'll try contacting him again, maybe…"

Losing interest in the conversation Dart turned to the busy streets started to wander towards something interesting.

"Dart, don't go too far." Mara said catching up to her.

"It's okay, I'm just looking I won't get lost." Dart said not really paying any attention to the warning and gave her best friend an absent minded reply. "So what do you think this guy we're searching for is like anyway?"

"Hmm, I don't know." The water type replied while rubbing her chin. "Terry said he was really tough and that he could take a punch from a Gravelgal and still keep going…. So, maybe he's a bodybuilder or something! Oh, Terry also said that he would forget his head if it wasn't attached. A bodybuilder who forgot his head? What would that look like?"

"Hmm…" She shut her eyes in deep thought. A moment later Mara jumped in fright from her own imagination. "Yeesh, that was scary. Hey Dart, they're starting to leave so let's get going…. Dart? Hey Dart, where'd you go? ….Oh shit…."

Dart had wandered away from Mara as she slipped into her fantasy world, the flying type headed towards some crowded streets searching for something to alleviate her boredom.

"Hey wasn't that an Eva?" "Yeah, I think so the boss was looking for one a while back, wasn't he?" Dart overheard two gruff male voices whispering to each other. Are they talking about the rich actor girl? What do they want with her?

Curious about their intentions Dart jumped up and flew a couple feet landing directly in front of the two as they started to walk away. "Hey what were you two talking about?"

"Shit!" One of the two men shouted and fell over onto his backside. The first thing Dart noticed about the two was their overall sleazy and dirty quality; they perfectly fit the stereotypical grunt look. Grunt A was a round and stubby man who was already sweating through his trench coat despite the mild winter air, while Grunt B was tall and scrawny fellow that practically disappeared into his matching coat. Grunt A glared up at Dart from his position on the ground. "What the hell was that for?"

"You two were talking about Ms. actor girl so I wanted to know what you wanted with her." Dart said with eyes full of curiosity as she examined the two of them.

"Fuck! She overheard us! Run!" The two instantly scrambled and escaped into the crowd with practiced ease. It was obvious to even Dart that they were used to running and disappearing into the crowd.

"Hey, wait!" Dart called after them but they were long gone. She tilted her head kind of sadly and muttered, "They left…"

She decided to let it be and started to wander further into the crowd. Though not completely forgetting about the others Dart figured that May would come and find her like always when they were ready to leave. Not giving it another thought she got herself lost in the crowd following the stream of people.

Dart's aimless wandering brought her to a wide open park with an expansive view of the sea side. There were a couple children with their parents playing on the green grass, while an elderly man reclined peacefully eating a bag of popcorn. While looking over at the old man Dart could feel her stomach start to growl.

After tossing a kernel up into the air and catching it in his mouth the old man felt something was amiss, looking to his side he jumped a little when Dart appeared out of nowhere.

"Whoa miss, don't sneak up on me like that. You nearly gave this old man a heart attack." He said wearing a friendly smile and placed a hand over his heart. Dart muttered something of an apology as she stared at the bag in his hand wearing a gluttonous look. The old man noticed her obvious stare, moving the bag to the left and then the right; he laughed to himself when Dart followed the bag with her whole head. "Do you want some?"

"Yeah!" Dart's face lit up in an infectious smile.

"Then here you can have some." As he held the bag out to her, she showed a troubled face. Confused he looked down at what she was staring at, and realized the source of her distress. "Oh, you can't grab it with your wings. Then how about we try this?"

Taking a kernel he tossed it into the air and caught it in his mouth with practiced ease. Nodding with a smile she jumped up and announced, "Ready!"

"Okay here comes the first one." The old man smiled to himself at her childlike enthusiasm. The kernel soared through the air in shallow arc and Dart readjusted slightly and caught the kernel in her teeth. Smiling brightly she showed him the kernel she caught before eating it. I feel a little weird about doing this, but she looks happy about it so it's fine. He thought while tossing her another kernel. Misjudging the speed of the kernel Dart leaned forward and missed catching it. With amazing accuracy that could never be intentionally reproduced the popcorn kernel land directly into her cleavage and dropped down her shirt. The two of them stared at the landing place of the kernel for an awkward three seconds.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to… What are you doing?!" The old man cried out when he saw Dart start pressing and shaking her breasts.

"It won't come out." Dart looked up at him with tear filled eyes. "I can't get the mean popcorn out."

"It's okay, don't cry. I'll um… I'll just help you…"

"Okay." Dart sniffed and came closer to him. The old man's face colored red slightly and started to breath heavier, as he reached his hand out to Dart's chest. Just as he was about to reach her a shout startled him.

"What do you think you're trying to do?!" A wizened old woman shouted at the old man as she glared down at him.

"Ahh, a witch appeared!" The old man shouted as he cowered from the new comer.

"I'm not a witch! I'm your wife!" Turning to Dart the woman apologized profusely, and quickly pulled the old man away by the ear.

Dart looked at their retreating figures and looked down, "But… It's still in there…"

After a brief struggle with the kernel, Dart managed to remove it by awkwardly using her talons and ended up tearing the underside of shirt. Feeling her stomach rumble again Dart left the park behind and followed her nose into the market. The aroma of grilling meat lead her into a reclusive area behind an oversized and colorful tent. Set up outside the red and white striped tent was a man standing in front of a portable grill set, a long picnic table, and various colorful props and back stage equipment. The man standing at the grill wore a large "kiss the cook" apron with various grill utensils stuffed into it. After wiping his bald brow with a towel, he called out towards the open tent flap causing his curled moustache to bounce slightly, "Soup's on!"

"Otto, why do you always use that pre-Sukube phrase when we never have soup?" Asked a man as he emerged from the flap, he wore a very bright, blue and green leotard.

"Why not Samuel? Using dated phrases like that is what makes Otto Otto." A catgirl said following the new comer. Along with wearing a complimentary leotard to her companion, she also had the same face as him. A final group of three clowns without their makeup emerged from the tent as the first two sat down at the table.

"Here you go, burgers and 'dogs fresh from the grill, chips and condiments are on the table." Otto said passing out a plate of food to each of the people sitting at the table. Only when he removed his apron and sat down in his seat at the table did he realize that there wasn't any food in front of him. "Did I miss count?"

"One, two…" Otto muttered to himself counting each of the people sitting at the table and only when he got to the one sitting in front of him did he realize an obvious fact. "Hey, who are you?!"

"Mmm?" Dart tilted her head with a mouth full of food. Swallowing, she gave him a bright a smile covered in sesame seeds and held out a wing in an awkward hand shake. "I'm Dart."

"I'm Otto… I mean what are you doing back here?"

"Huh? You mean she's not a new member?" Samuel asked looking up from his conversation with his twin. "I thought Dave hired a new clown."

"We didn't hear anything about that we thought she was new acrobat." One of the clowns replied.

"Paah, that was good." Dart sighed contently. "You're a good cook. I think you might be better than Mr. Idiot."

"Really, thank you." Otto smiled while curling his moustache in pride. "…Ah, wait a minute. That was my burger you're complementing!"

"Heh, Otto is always weak to praise." The catgirl acrobat commented.

"I am not. It's obvious that she knows talent when she sees it, unlike some people around here." Otto sniffed, no longer caring so much that Dart had stolen his meal. Turning around, Otto placed another patty on the grill for himself, giving his empty plate one last glance he sighed and muttered, "No use complaining."

The twin acrobats laughed at him in perfect harmony. When Samuel the acrobat returned to his food he felt an intense stare coming from his side. Turning his head a little he found Dart staring intently at the chip in his fingers. "Uh, here you can have it…"

"Thank you!" Dart chirped brightly and snatched the chip away quickly, happily popping it into her mouth.

"She's quite the glutton, right Sam?" Samuel asked addressing his twin.

"I think it's kind of cute. She makes me want to play with her." The catgirl said watching Dart with large eyes. Her ears were turned forward in an alert pose, while her tail twitched back and forth behind her. Despite her sitting with her head in her hands Sam looked like she was ready to pounce. Sensing a dangerous aura next to her Dart turned and stiffened into a tense posture. Tension filled the area around them as they semi squared off. Just as Sam was about to pounce, a loud deep voice filled the picnic area.

"Alright guys break's over. Your act is next." The voice's owner was a tall well-built man wearing a flashy red and black costume and top hat.

"Okay we'll get ready, Dave." They all answered the ringmaster.

"Do you think Dave will let her join?" Sam asked as she and the rest were getting up. "Hey Otto, you go ask him."

"Why me?" Otto asked after finally getting to eat his food.

"Because you're his brother, he'll listen to you."

"Fine but you should ask her if she even wants to join or not."

"Yeah, Yeah. So how about it? Do you want to join us?" Sam asked turning to Dart.

"Sure! …Um what is it that you guys do?" Shocked silence filled the area.

"We're uh, circus performers…" Otto replied awkwardly, and asked Sam out of the side of his mouth, "Are you sure it would be safe to let her join?"

"Yeah, of course it will." Sam said in a not so confident manner.

As they all entered the tent with Dart in tow a familiar white figure was passing by, but stopped after catching a glimpse of Dart. "Wasn't that…?"

Half an hour later Dart was standing outside of the main tent with Otto passing out flyers and performing some tricks to draw people in. Although the ringmaster consented to her joining them he was adamant about her not joining any of the acts until she had practiced with them for at least a month.

"Come one, come all. Bring your whole family with you to David's Astounding Slaying Circus!" Dart shouted happily while she stood perfectly balanced on the hand Otto held his head showing off his strength.

"No you idiot! It's 'Come one, come all. Bring your whole family with you to David's Amazing Flying Circus! At least you got the first part right this time." Otto shouted up at his airheaded companion. Looking out at the crowd Dart spotted a familiar red bandana, but the owner of the bandana was not who she was expecting. Dart grew silent forgetting that she had to call out to the crowd. Noticing something was wrong Otto quickly let her down and saw a miserable expression on her face. Panicking he quickly said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by that! Everyone makes mistakes!"

"May…" she said in a quiet voice.

"What?" Otto asked leaning in, "Who's May?"

"Where's May." She looked down with tears filling her eyes, as a single tear rolled down her cheek. "Where did May go…"

May must be her tamer or something. Otto thought to himself. Placing an hand on her back as a comforting gesture Otto lead Dart into the tent saying, "How about we search for May after this act, so we can have everyone help us look for her? Does that sound good?"

"Okay." Dart muttered wiping her eyes as she allowed Otto to lead her into the back of the tent. After calming down Dart entered the main tent where the act was being performed and was tasked with selling popcorn to the audience along with Samuel. Although she was noticeably less cheerful than her usual self she still managed to smile at the audience. As she walked towards the main entrance she noticed a familiar white dress. Is that the pretty rich lady? She thought turning towards Karis as she entered the circus tent.

"Hurry up; you don't want to miss this." Karis said waving her hand at the person behind her.

"Karis I told you already I don't feel like going to the circus right now. Not while Dart is missing." A familiar voice said in an upset tone.

"May?!" Dart exclaimed when she saw her tamer get dragged in by a forceful Karis, and rushed over to her in an instant spilling most of the popcorn she was carrying.

"Dart?! What are you doing here?!" May exclaimed as she caught her missing Pokegirl.

"I told you that you didn't want to miss this." Karis said still smiling.

"Karis, How…?" May was about to ask something when a cheerful voice interrupted her.

"So you must be May." Samuel said walking up behind the two.

"Who are you?" May asked.

"It seems that he and some of the others in the circus had found Dart and had been taking care of her." Karis spoke up behind them.

"Well it's more like she found us. Now that you two found each other again, how about you guys stick around and watch the rest of the show as compensation for the trouble we caused you." Samuel offered. "Go ahead and bring the rest of your group."

"Alright we'll do that." May readily accepted.

After the final act the sun was starting to dip below the horizon. Standing outside the rear entrance of the tent May and Terry's group spoke to the ringmaster and the other performers.

"It's too bad that you aren't going to stay with us, we could always use another acrobat." The ringmaster said to May and Dart. "We'll gladly accept you guys anytime if you ever want to join. We'll even be able to find something for the rest of you guys."

"Thanks for the offer; we'll give it some thought." May said shaking his hand and waving goodbye, before leaving for the pokecenter with the rest of the group.

Arriving in her rented room May immediately pulled Dart into a tight embrace, and held her for a minute. Letting her go May stepped back but still kept her hands on Dart's shoulders. May spoke in a trembling voice, "I'm so glad that you're back, but please don't ever wander off like that again."

"I'm sorry May, I won't do it again." Dart's own eyes filled with tears as she hugged her emotional tamer.

"It's alright," May whispered. Pulling back again they gave each other a teary smile. May leaned in and gave Dart a happy peck on the cheek and then another full kiss on the lips. Expressing her relief and joy at their reunion through her kisses, May began to kiss longer and longer causing heat to gather within Dart's lower abdomen. Opening her mouth slightly Dart licked May's lips, to which May readily responded. May's hands slipped over Dart's shoulders and onto her back as they entwined their tongues. May ran her hand down Dart's spine causing the flying type to shiver in May's arms. Breaking their kiss Dart pulled back breathlessly, after briefly looking into May's aroused eyes Dart trailed kisses and licks down her tamer's neck focusing on her collarbone. As Dart moved to her chest May wrapped her arms around her Pokegirl's head gently holding her. Looking up at May, Dart paused briefly before May moved in and kissed her sealing Dart's lips once more. Breaking the kiss Dart turned toward May's chest and bit onto May's zipper and pulled it down to open her coat. Burying herself in May's clothes Dart hungrily kissed May's chest. Cupping Dart's jaw May placed a quick peck on her lips before running her hands down to Darts shoulders. As she ran her hands along the flying type's sides and under her breasts May noticed the tear in her clothes.

"When did this happen?" May asked tracing the v-shaped tear in the cloth.

"I don't remember." Dart said honestly forgetting that she did that herself.

"Well since you can't wear this any longer…" With a quick tug the tear quickly expanded and split the shirt in half, releasing Dart's chest from its confines. May smiled, tossing the ruined shirt off to the side. "That's better."

Pushing her back May lead Dart to lay down on the bed. May crawled onto the bed over Dart and placed a hand on her heaving chest she gently began to trace the swell of her Pokegirl's breast with one hand while the other supported her weight. May lightly flicked Dart's hardened nipple before raising up and discarding her coat off to the side. Gripping the hem of her shirt May pulled it over her head and tossed it to the side already forgotten. In only a bra and pants May smiled down at her pokegirl and placed a hand on the tip of Dart's sternum and drew a lazy wandering line down to the button of her shorts. Unbuttoning them May's hand quickly found its way in past Dart's underwear, tracing Dart's lower lips causing a shiver to run through her. Dart embraced her tamer and chirped her pleasure into May's ear. Dart's wings shifted and brushed along May's body as she fumbled with the bra hook. May shivered at the pleasant and ticklish sensation of Dart's warm feathers running along her body.

"May," Dart groaned as she became frustrated with her inability to remove the stubborn piece of clothing. Hearing her displeasure May smirked as she withdrew her hand and reached behind her back, removing the lacy cloth she exposed her breast to the cold air of the room. Dart immediately lavished her tamer with hungry licks and adoring kisses.

"Mmm," May hummed a moan as she lightly pressed Dart into her chest. Standing up she unbuttoning her pants May hooked her thumbs into the waistband and dropped the last of her clothes to the floor. Dart watched from her vantage point on the bed as May crawled forward and quickly removed her shorts revealing her sex. Moving closer May ran her fingers along Dart's inner thigh brushing them back and forth inching closer to her goal. With a rustling of feathers Dart shivered and chirped in pleasure when she felt May's fingers tracing around her lower petals. The flying type felt a jolt run through her body when her tamer's lips closed on her clit. Supporting herself on her elbows Dart looked down into May's eyes as a sensual smile spread across her tamers lips. May pressed and teased her with her tongue as a finger applied pressure to Dart's entrance. A second finger quickly joined the first as May rubbed her Pokegirl's inner walls with an irregular searching rhythm. Watching Dart's hazed over expression shift in pleasure May searched for where it felt the best. May redoubled the efforts of her tongue when she found what she was looking for causing Dart to flinch and close her legs on May's head. Undeterred May continued her assault causing the flying type to call out her pleasure in her high pitched voice. As her voice and excitement was reaching a peak May stopped and freed herself from Dart's legs. Dart groaned in frustration at May as her tamer simply smiled down at her.

"Not yet, I still want to have some fun too." May purred at the flying type as she crawled over her. Interlocking their legs May pressed herself against Dart enjoying the jolt of pleasure as she stimulated her clit. Interlocking and rubbing their lower lips together in a wild caress while May lowered herself over Dart muffling her moans in a hungry kiss. Dart wrapped her wings around May's body pulling her and pressing their breast together.

"May," Dart looked up at her with a pleading expression begging her for release.

"Just a little bit more I'm almost there!" May increased her pace as she ground her hips into Dart with a hungry need. A shiver ran through May's spine as she reached her climax with Dart calling out her name with her. Panting May collapsed next to her Pokegirl. May held onto Dart in a light embrace as the soothing grip of sleep claimed them.

The next morning found Dart crouched down as she snuck up on her target. Moving slowly as to not alert Soot, Dart crept up behind her alpha ready to spring. Lunging forward in a brown and white flash Dart quickly and accurately plucked one of Soot's tail feathers, causing the fire type to shout from the sharp pain.

"DAMMIT! DART!" The enraged fire type shouted and chased after her harem sister as Dart ran out of the room and down the hall creating a huge ruckus. One of the doors ahead of them opened quickly as a surprised Terry stuck his head out of the room. Not again! Dart acted quickly by jumping up. Landing on Terry she pushed off of him and half flew down the hall with Soot steadily catching up.

*slam* Why? Why don't I ever learn? Terry thought as he slid down the wall he was thrown into. The first thing Terry got as he left the room was a face full of razor sharp talons as Dart jumped on him grabbing a hold of his head and then getting thrown into the wall as she leapt off of him, and to top it off Soot stepped on him as she ran past. Mornings hate me. Terry thought bemoaning his misfortune.

Needless to say Dart and Soot were eventually caught and scolded as Emy and Luna tended to their unfortunate tamer.
