Tamer Gothic - Blue League.
Part 9
Apartment. London.
I groaned as I woke up in the dark. As this was going on I could hear a soft and somewhat familiar snoring coming from next to me. It wasn't until I listened more closely that I realised that it wasn't who I'd thought it was. That made me a little sad.
The next thing I knew Celeste had conjured a ball of light, that thankfully for me wasn't too bright. This showed me that she was naked, and in bed with me. Tiffany was also naked and in the bed, however she was tied up with silk handkerchiefs.
"Was I drinking?" I asked.
Celeste nodded, and seconds later it all came pouring back. I'd been in a bad mood since capturing the Drow-Zee called Briza. It wasn't so much what she'd done, as it hadn't been that horrible, what depressed me was that it had happened at all. Sure I'd benefited from the event, in the end as I'd raided her lair and gotten myself knew poke, it was just that in the past, well the future really, I would have my friends helping me out.
After I'd collected the bounty on Briza it had struck me how alone I was. Here in a distant land with few allies, fewer resources, no contacts, I didn't even own a gun. Worst of all I didn't have team to come help me out when things went wrong, which they often did, that scared me.
"Did I hurt you?" I asked my elf.
I was pretty sure I'd been kinky with her, perhaps too kinky.
"No" answered Celeste "You tied Tiffany up, tickled her for a while. Tamed me, and fell asleep while suckling on my nipples. It was kinda cute".
Well that wasn't to bad.
"Are we still going to Diagon Alley to pick up some supplies today?" Celeste then questioned "Oh and we need to sell that Orb. Which means that we all need to get up, untie my new sister, get a shower and get dressed".
She then looked at Tiffany
"Oh the other hand if you want to grab your shower first Master, and then untie her. Well I'm sure I can entertain Tiff for a little bit" she offered.
My witch was gagged, tied up and naked, yet only now did she look worried. Because of this Celeste laughed as she waved her hand and the silk handkerchiefs untied themselves, some spell I assumed.
"If you hurry, Master we'll have time for naked breakfast" Celeste tempted.
Before I thought about any of that I wanted to check on Tiffany.
"I need to pee" she said as soon as I ungagged her.
She rushed off and soon rushed back in again.
"I swear its like you wanted me to wet the bed" my witch said as she dove under the covers "Not that I mind if its your thing, Master".
It wasn't. If nothing else it would result in an unpleasant wet spot that someone would have to sleep in, and I'd just rented this fully furnished apartment, I didn't want it made all messy.
"You okay?" I asked the witch.
She nodded her head.
"Why didn't you free her sooner?" I questioned my elf.
Celeste giggled, adorably.
"Because she enjoyed it" she said.
Witches when they decided to do something they saw it through. Tiffany could have of freed herself, but she wouldn't if she felt being in bondage all night was the right thing to do.
"Don't leave yourself like that if I fall asleep without untying you" I instructed my alpha "Get one of your sisters to free if you it happens again. Which it shouldn't".
She looked a little upset now.
"Master, didn't it make you happy?" she wondered.
Well I did like that she was so devoted, I just didn't want her getting hurt because of her stubbornness, or because I got drunk and acted all silly.
"You're a very good pokegirl" I told her "I'd feel bad if you suffered needlessly".
Celeste giggled again.
"Oh yeah she was tortured horribly by the tickling and being tied up with silk," she said jokingly "and the fingering, that must of been the worse".
It was good to know I hadn't take out my bad mood on my harem.
"Right, you 'girls go and shower" I ordered "While I find out what happened to Briza".
I'd put her through a high level Taming cycle after capturing her, so I would have let her out, I just couldn't see her.
"Under here!" the drow-zee called out.
After lifting up the covers of the very large bed, one built for Tamers, I found Briza. She was also nude.
"What are you doing at the end of the bed?" I enquired.
She answered right away.
"You tried to cuddle me" she told me "I don't do cuddling".
That was fair enough I guessed.
(Line Break)
I walked into the kitchen, dressed only in a towel and looked over the small collection of pokes in the room. There were two hot naked human sized elf girls making breakfast for everyone. Celeste and Briza seemed to be getting along well enough, which was good.
Tiffany was also naked, she was sitting down at the table, while reading a newspaper and eating some toast. I was surprised by how relaxed she looked as while Elves had no problems with nudity, it was my experience that Witches tended to be a bit more modest about such things. Perhaps I had been wrong about that.
"Morning, Master" the spell casting poke greeted as I sat down at the table "Are you looking forward to our shopping trip".
I was not that enthusiastic to go shopping. Mostly because I always ended up carrying more than my fair share of the bags even when the females around me had many times my physical strength. Also I was missing my friends.
"Sure" was all I had to say.
My surface elf pokegirl smiled as she walked over towards with two plates of pancakes, she then set them down before myself and Tiffany.
"Enjoy" Celeste said.
Tiffany gave the elf girl a grin.
"Thanks" she then told her harem-sister.
I was pleased that my new pokes were getting along so well. Drow-Zee and Dark Elves normally didn't like the fairer skinned types of elves, thankfully this wasn't the case here.
"You're welcome" Celeste replied.
Then the elf headed over to the sink and started washing the dishes. Next I saw Tiffany blush as she tore her gaze away from watching the nude elf girl bend over the sink and started working on eating her pancakes.
"We can put this off until tomorrow if you want" I offered my 'girls, thinking that they'd much rather hang out her and Tame with each other than go out "There's no rush".
I didn't have much money, but I had made some by selling off a lot of the stuff my Drow-Zee had kept in her little hideout, the rest would be recovered by the farmers she'd stolen from.
Buying a train ticket to get me to London, so I could find someone to sell the orb to, hadn't cost me that much, and in order to afford to be able to rent this flat I'd sold the ponytaur I'd gotten from the farmer back in Wales. As such I still had some SLC left for shopping even if I didn't get a good price for the orb.
Normally I didn't normal sell pokes, as I didn't see them as objects to be owned, however I needed the money, and I hadn't gotten attached to the ponytaur. It was easier to treat someone as a thing if you didn't get to know them as a person.
"We really should sell that orb" Tiffany advised "We have no idea what it does, it could be dangerous, and if it blows up I don't want it around me. Besides I'd never visited Diagon Alley before".
Her reasoning was sound so I decided that we would go shopping, and besides I wanted to check out this Diagon Alley so that I could compare to the fictional one in the Harry Potter franchise. With that in mind I started to eat and thanked the thousand gods that I didn't have a massive hangover.
(Line Break)
Diagon Alley. London.
The place was not what I had expected, while the entrance was hidden from non-magic users, as it was place for magic types and the Tamers who trained them. It was not at the back of a pub.
It was a plain brick wall halfway down a busy high street in the heart of London, and to open it a person had to touch the magic symbols, which couldn't been seen with normal vision. This was no trouble for me as I had Dark Vision which allowed me to see the symbols, and even if I hadn't Tiffany knew how to open the wall anyway. Apparently only a magic type poke or a Tamer with a magical Blood Gift could, activate the symbols, such as a witch pokegirl.
Now that were inside things seemed more familiar, and yet still strange. It did look somewhat Victorian, but there were modern streets lamps, and lots of bicycles around. Cars were very rare even in big cities like London and Cardiff due to lack of petrol, but there were buses for getting around, just none in Diagon Alley.
As depicted in the films, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley were strictly pedestrian precincts, as the streets are too narrow to accommodate either vehicular or carriage traffic. Most people in pokeworld who lived in cities either walked or took the bus, some did ride in ponytaur driven carriages, but they were expensive.
Presumably magical means were exercised for stocking the shops, eliminating the need to give access to trucks. There weren't enough resources to make electric cars for everyone which in this world were electric powered as were the buses and the trucks.
Also I once again noticed how people and pokes in the Blue League tended to dress more sensibly than in the Crimson League, not because they weren't sexy, it was because it rained a lot and was colder here.
The pokes that were covered in fur did wander around naked, even in board day light, and like on the streets around the alley they had both collars and leashes. Walking around the alley I could see cat and dog type pokes being led around by guys younger than me, they looked rather happy about it.
It wasn't hard to figure out why the Cat girls and Dog girls were so pleased . The Blue League had a much higher feral poke to human ratio than the Crimson League, as such many of the pokes around me had been in the wilderness until recently.
They'd been basically mindless creatures out in cold, that never knew where their next meal was coming from. Now these pokes could think, they had regular meals, soft beds to sleep in, and a young human male who would show them lots of attention. For a feral born poke it had to be like going to heaven.
Seeing so many non-magical types in the alley told me that while the stores here mostly catered to magic types, they did welcome Tamers who trained other types as well as magic girls, and that likely there was somewhere nearby. I could buy recently captured pokes if I so desired. However for now I'd focus on the stores that didn't sell pokes.
First of all there was 2nd Hand Brooms, which was a shop that sold used broomsticks. Apparently Witches made use of them as they couldn't teleport, and any pokegirl who was found wandering the wilderness was fair game for a Tamer so by flying the Witches avoided a lot of trouble from greedy Tamers.
Next to that was Madam Malkin's Clothes for Harems and Tamers shop, which sold clothes that promised to withstand the hardships Tamers and pokes had to put up with while chasing ferals. Given that I'd destroyed two pairs of jeans since going back in time I promised myself I'd take a look inside that shop once I had some more money.
Besides that there was an apothecary, which sold healing potions, salves and tonics as well as the things needed to make them.
A pet shop, which was the source of all those happy dog girls and cat girls, which also sold everything such a pet poke could ever want or need. Including sex toys I imagined, however since children could access this alley no such items were on display. This was a family friendly place even if it was meant for Tamers.
Across from that was Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. It was owned and operated by Florean Fortescue I assumed.
Also there was Flourish and Blotts a popular bookshop in Diagon Alley where most Hogtits students purchased their schoolbooks I guessed. I had to grab Tiffany by the arm as she was drawn into the store like metal filings to a magnet.
There was a big bank sort of, but it was not run by goblins and it was not a place that dealt in SLC (standard league credits) it was a place to store things like a treasure within a vault. So it was more of a depositary than a bank. Although they did exchange valuables into SLC so it was a currency exchange as well.
Next I saw a junk shop that sold secondhand items. I was tempted to peek inside, but it would have to wait until I found somewhere to sell the magic orb I'd recovered from the ruins of an old town. Hopefully I'd get a good price.
Then I saw Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Treatments, some kind of hairdressers/make up store, a quick look in the window let me know that it was for pokegirls and well as human girls.
After that I located Obscures Book, which sold the things Hogtits students shouldn't read about, at least according to what my alpha had told me while we were in the London Underground, which was a subway system that had existed even in my time and was still going.
The books weren't evil per say, it was just that the spells and potions written about were very dangerous. Tiffany was even more attracted to that store, so much so that Celeste had to help me drag her away.
Next up was Potage's Cauldron Shop a shop that sells cauldrons, only any good for experienced potion makers, or for people who did very old fashioned cooking.
Aside from that there Rosa Lee Teabag. A teashop, which was a haunt for pokewomen judging by who I saw coming in and out of the place.
Then there was Scribbulus Writing Instruments. A shop presumably sold stationary items.
After that was Sugarplum's Sweets Shop a shop that sells confections. It was there I saw the only children in the alley, and given that it was Saturday, and the schools were closed, it was a rather large group of sugared up runts. Wisely I avoided them.
Twilfitt and Tatting's was another clothing store, I figured it was favoured by elitist pure-bloods given the prices, it was store which made custom outfits for Tamers and pet owners who liked to dress their 'girls in something special as well as clothes for humans that were enchanted to be always comfortable and sturdy while still being attractive.
Last of all there were a variety of street peddlers who were taking up space in between shops out on the main thoroughfare of Diagon Alley. Included were a flower vendor, a vendor who was selling roasted chestnuts, and a jewellery vendor.
"Where to sell my orb?" I thought out loud.
Tiffany, who had by this point stopped gawking and being drawn into book stores, tugged on my arm and directed to me what turned out to be a place that held auctions.
(Line Break)
Diagon Alley. London.
If I hadn't been so used to this crazy world my head would have spinning at this point, perhaps literally. Half an hour ago I'd entered the auction place, and now I was rich again having sold the orb, which had turned out to be one of Seven Spheres of Subeke. Apparently while all seven were required to summon a dragon pokegirl and make a wish, each sphere on its own had power.
The one that had been mine, was called the Sphere of Stability, and would allow the owner to preserve anything within a room as long as the Sphere reminded that persons property. I'd seen in action so I knew that it could even hold back the ravages of time.
Once activated nothing in the same room as the Sphere would rust, decay, rot, or tarnish. Meals would even stay edible, and nothing could destroyed either. Which was just great if you had vault full of treasure you wanted kept in a good state.
Seconds after this had been told to the crowd of eager buyers a member of the Royal Family, or at least someone closely related enough to them to make deals on their behalf, had offered five million SLC for it. The auction house had taken twenty percent, one million SLC, and I now had four million credits, making me a millionaire, again.
Had I known how much it was worth I would have held out for more. However I didn't regret selling the Sphere as if I hadn't there was a good chance someone would have stolen it from me.
Seconds after leaving the auction house I'd dragged my girls off to Twilfitt and Tatting's, so that I could buy my 'girls a full make over.
"Can you afford our services?" asked one of the Seamstress Pokewoman "We aren't for novice tamers, this is an establishment for customers of means".
My reply was to open my 'dex and to show her my bank bank, which now slightly over four million.
"Oh I'm sorry, sir" the cosplay pokegirl apologised, in a much more polite tone of voice "Please follow me".
My Harem and I entered a massive dressing room, the walls were covered in mirrors that been angled so that someone standing in the centre of the room could see every part of their body. Also there was a table and a side door, which was staff only. The door we'd entered through was locked after we came in.
Also there was a comfy armchair that I sat down in right away. I knew it was for me as it was facing the centre of the room, and with the mirrors I'd be able to see every part of my pokes without even having to turn my head more than a fraction.
"Now we'll start with your pokes" the Seamstress said "Just order them to strip down to their collars, and then stand on the stools, I'll get their old clothes recycled".
Few things were just thrown away in this world, the knowledge required to produce many things, such as plastic, had been lost so everything was re-used when possible.
"I have to be naked!" shouted an alarmed Tiffany.
Celeste and Briza were already stripping, only my alpha wasn't busy getting naked.
"What's the matter?" I asked "You ate breakfast in the nude".
Tiffany was now slowly undressing, she just wasn't eager to do so.
"Yes, but only you and my Harem-Sisters could see me" Tiffany replied "My titties and cunny are for you master".
Briza, only snorted, while Celeste burst into adorably giggles.
"You sound like a kit" the surface elf remarked "Its tits and cunt, not titties and cunny. You're a pokegirl act like it".
Tiffany, who was by now totally nude, glared at her harem-sister.
"I was brought up to a good pokegirl" the witch said "I saved myself for my Master and my body is for him. I'm not some slut".
That hadn't been a direct insult, yet the two elves picked up on it. However before a fight could started I ended it.
"No speaking unless you are asked a question," I ordered "and hands on your heads".
They followed my commands, and that allowed the Seamstress to start her work. She measure my pokes, and held up different coloured fabric so that they could be compared to skin tone and hair colour.
"You're a bit plain, dear" the Cosplay poke said to my alpha "You have a very cute body, but you could do with something to make you more noticeable".
I thought about the pokewoman had just spoken about.
"Dye her hair dark blue" I commanded "And shorten it to shoulder length".
The pokewoman brought into another poke, this one a hair stylist, and she poured a potion onto Tiff's hair which changed its colour as if by magic, because it was magic. Then there was a some hair cutting.
"Oh that looks so much better" the Seamstress poke commented "Dark colours will work well for this little witch".
I was then passed a photo album that contained lots of pictures of different clothes both on and off modelling pokegirls. It was pretty clear that I was meant to chose.
The underwear went from what was called a V-string, which was pretty much dental floss underwear all the way to briefs and boy-shorts.
"I like the ones called cheekies" I told the seamstress "She'll have black ones made of satin".
They were sort of between a thong and briefs, giving a nice of the bum while still covering things up.
"She'll need a padded bra" the cosplay poke was now saying "Poor dear doesn't have much to show off".
Tiffany's head now looked red enough to stop traffic, but she didn't say anything.
"Now for shoes she will need something for wilderness walks, some good boots, and also something more casual for when in the city" I was now saying "Also she'll have some leggings, plain black, stripey and the ones with stars. A few black skirts, and the cloak as well the witch's hat with the stars sown in".
As those clothes were brought out my alpha's mood changed again, she was now rather happy. Witches like to wear things with occult symbols on them. Stars counted as such.
"She'll need a jumper for cold weather and some t-shirts for the summer" I then said.
Tiffany didn't have much in the boob department so there was no sense dressing in anything that showed cleavage.
"Are you sure?" the pokewoman asked "I think a corset as a top would work wonders, along with the bra it would really boost her confidence".
By 'confidence' she actually meant 'make her boobs look big'. Bust size was very important for a poke.
"Let's see how it looks" I replied.
As it turned out the corset top went well with the hat and the cloak.
"She'll need the jumper anyway" I went on to say "For when its cold".
We could always pick up more clothes later, it was just that right now I had a good chance to make my harem dressed how I pleased and I planned to seize the moment.
"Celeste will have white cotton cheekie, a full cup bra, light blue denim jeans. A white crop top, and a denim jacket that matches the jeans" I ordered "Oh and give her a pony tail".
I had more to say.
"Briza will wear, a stain black cheekie, a full cup bra" I was now ordering "the fake leather trousers, a black tank top, with a fake leather jacket".
The real leather was simply too expensive, and unlike elves who hunted ferals for their hides, humans had a problem with with skinning pokegirls, and there weren't enough real cows around to provide enough leather for the making of clothes. Some pokes could magically summon leather armour, however they couldn't then give it someone else and summon more. It simply didn't work that way.
"Her hair should be braided too" I then added.
I got the sense that this all take some time I flipped open my 'dex and read up on what else Diagon Alley had to offer while my pokes were undressed and re-dressed several times. I was distracted by the 'dex right up until it came time to discuss clothes for Taming.
That made very happy to be clothes shopping, which was like for the first time ever, if only because there were so many outfits I could put my new harem in. I'd likely be here until after lunch time.
