Chapter 1: Unexpected Changes
Emmet watched as everyone around him was digging into their meals. He was finally able to sit down and enjoy his own after serving a dish for every member on the island. Faith was always kind to assist him by passing bowls or plates carrying food around to their destined pokémon. Makes it so he doesn't have to walk everywhere across the clearing. Now he was able to enjoy his own spicy ramen, Faith sitting close by with her sweet ramen.
To cook everyone's desired flavor, he prepared broths, mixed with certain berries, into five individual pots. The noodles, which were simply dry noodles he bought from a super market, were boiled in a larger pot over the fire pit. He even had a flat pan to cook various additives including meat, eggs, and vegetables. Once everything was prepared, he began serving the items into sized bowls before Faith took off with them like a waiter serving their customers in a restaurant. He and Faith actually held a temporary job working in a restaurant for a little extra money while waiting for a gym battle. Maybe once he retires from being a pokémon trainer he should open his own restaurant. That would sure bring in a lot of people around, and be a great source of attention instead of his annual appearance at the pokémon league championship.
He looked around at all the pokémon who were enjoying their meals. Mew had already finished her first serving before he was able to serve everyone else, so he served her a second serving. Now she was helping herself to a third serving. For such a small body, she sure does have a large stomach. The other legendaries were relishing their food, not able to enjoy themselves with a good meal very often. He offered a serving to Arceus, his own special religious offer, he jokingly called it. However the avatar simply refused, preferring to watch on.
Whatever caught Arceus' attention must've spooked it. Whatever it was he was sure the Alpha Pokémon and every other legendary could take care of it.
Suddenly, as he was halfway through his meal, he was surrounded by eighteen furry appendages that enveloped him in a blanket of warmth and coolness.
"Master," A sultry feminine voice said as Emmet looked over at his right, coming face to face with a gold vulpine with ruby red eyes. "Thank you for the meal. You haven't forgotten about your promise yesterday right?"
"We're both long overdue for a good brushing." Another feminine voice, with the same amount of sultry in it, said as Emmet turned to his left, coming face to face with a silver vulpine with sapphire blue eyes. "You promised us one tomorrow."
His two ninetales. Sunshine from Kanto, and Mint from Alola. The two he'd met on separate occasions, but they took to each other like sisters, getting along quite well. Whenever he was around, the two would act very needy and attentive, often requesting he'd brush their fur, tails included. He was perhaps one of very few humans who could actually touch a ninetales' tails without any consequences. Not that he took it for granted, knowing how delicate their tail fur was and not wanting to ruin it.
"Yes I did," Emmet affirmed as he reached for them and started scratching both behind the ears. The two girls moaned as he manipulated them under his touch. "Tomorrow, I'll spoil you two all morning."
"Good, because it's been a while since you given us much attention."
"We crave the feeling of your hands against our fur."
The two vulpines settled themselves on both sides of Emmet, effectively trapping him between two masses of warm and cool fur. Not that he didn't mind. These two made great sleeping partners together, using their tails to provide him and themselves with a blanket of equal amounts of coolness and warmth. Their fur was quite comfortable. It was no wonder why that maniac he encounter long ago was hunting down ninetales and vulpix so he could make coats and blankets out of their fur. Fortunately he and Sunshine put a stop to his operation and waited until the police arrived to take him away.
"Again, you spoil us too much." Faith ruined the moment with a giggle as Sunshine grumbled in frustration at the Embrace Pokémon while Mint only whined. Emmet did not comment, deciding to ignore his partner's statement and continue petting the two ninetales beside him. Though with some thought, maybe Faith was right. He had spent most of his time tending to his own pokémon rather than himself. That didn't mean he wasn't taking care of himself, he washed and fed himself everyday. But he rarely ever engaged in self recreational activities. The problem being he never really figured out if there was anything besides being a pokémon trainer that he liked. At least he read a lot while waiting in pokémon centers, so there was a start. He also had a thing with cooking, and if he actually wanted to make that restaurant plan a reality he should experiment more in his culinary skills. For now, he decided to finish his meal while watching all his pokémon enjoy theirs.
Mew was already helping herself with a fifth serving of left overs.
"Your gardevoir does make a very good point, you know." The familiar voice of Arceus suddenly said as the avatar had moved itself behind him without any notice. Both Sunshine and Mint looked up at the Alpha Pokémon and left Emmet's sides. "While your dedication to the health of your pokémon is admirable, you should also put more focus into yourself more often. As making them happy and healthy brings you joy, seeing you happy and healthy brings them joy as well."
"I was just thinking about that." Emmet responded. "Problem for me is, most of my life I've been so focused on pokémon. Transitioning into something else is gonna be troubling for me."
"You are a brilliant individual, I'm sure you'll find something eventually." That was some high praise coming from a god. "You honestly weren't the only one who I found in such a predicament."
"Really? Who else?"
"That's a story for another time—," Arceus chuckled, only to suddenly be alert which caught Emmet's attention. "Something is wrong."
At the same time, a certain white and grey canine figure started running across the field towards Emmet. Twilight, his absol.
"Master!" She cried out as she came to a stop, with a face that seemed full of dread. Emmet already had an idea of what was going on. "Something is wrong," She said, repeating the words of the Alpha Pokémon. "I saw—, something I can't explain. Something very bad and scary!"
Before he could even ask his absol, he suddenly heard a thump beside him, looking over to the see the form of Faith suddenly collapse. "Faith!" Panic ensued as he jumped from his spot and ran for his fallen pokémon. She was still breathing, which he could feel as he placed her head on his lap, trying to figure out what had happened. She was completely unresponsive, and soon it wasn't just her. One by one, all of his pokémon suddenly started collapsing. Even the legendaries who were confused and beginning to panic. Giratina tried lifting off from the ground before she seemingly lost consciousness, crashing back down with a heavy thud.
"Master...help—," Twilight suddenly fainted before Emmet, who was starting to become afraid, not knowing what was happening to his pokémon.
Arceus too fainted. The avatar, not even Emmet could defeat, fell where it stood.
Emmet then felt a sudden tiredness fall upon him, making it a struggle to keep his eyes open and his senses sharp. "Faith..." He looked down to his partner in his arms, before falling as well.
"Master...master...master!"
"Master! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Please wake up, please wake up."
Emmet was starting to come to as his vision came out blurry, but slowly cleared along with his senses. He still felt tired, but was being fed a constant stream of energy from an external source.
Standing above him were several pokémon, each with an expression of fear and concern.
Mewtwo.
Joy the Blissey.
Blaze the Charizard
Twilight the Absol.
Nebby the Lunala
"He's coming to," Joy said as she canceled her healing pulse. "Everyone stand back now."
Emmet groaned, but slowly stood up, noticing a weight on his lower body. Faith was awake and looking up at him with a sigh of relief.
"Ugh! What, just happened?" Emmet asked as he shook his head, overcoming the last bits of exhaustion that had overwhelmed him. Looking around, the realized how dark it quickly became, with the stars now out in the night sky. The fire pit he used to cook everyone's meals were now nothing but smoke and embers.
"Master, you've been out for over an hour." Joy stated which alarmed Emmet. "At least, an hour after everyone else started waking up. By far, you've been unconscious the longest." All around him, every pokémon was now awake, confusion and fear overwhelming their auras which Emmet could sense.
At least they all seemed unharmed.
"So far, there's been no harm to anyone. I've been around assisting everyone after they've woken up." The blissey reported. "However...most individuals have experienced some unusual changes regarding, anatomy. Faith here for example...it's best you see for yourself." Emmet didn't understand what the blissey meant at first. But that quickly changed when Faith started climbing off him, showing off her upper body.
The trainer at first didn't know what to make of it, until he noticed two mounds protruding on opposite ends of Faith's chest spine. His brain at first refused to believe those were what he thought they were. But those thoughts were true once he noticed the existence of two matching nipples, with proper areola around them. Faith was now sporting a pair of human like breasts, and they were not small. Both were considered to at least be of DD-cup size.
Emmet suddenly stopped himself, realizing he was starting to think like a perv noticing all the fine details of his partner's new assets. Though he couldn't help but stare at them in bewilderment. Faith was now sporting a bright red blush on her face, more so from his reaction rather than her new sensitive assets being exposed.
Back on subject, Faith now has human like breasts, and if what Joy said is what he think she said, his gardevoir isn't the only one. He didn't have to look far, as he now just noticed the new assets on Mewtwo's chest. While smaller, the Genetics Pokémon now sported a pair of human like breasts as well. No doubt several other members had some too now.
"I must be going crazy." Emmet tried to deny the reality he just woke up to. "This cannot actually be happening."
"I am afraid it is happening." A new voice said, drawing Emmet's attention upwards to see Arceus descending towards the ground. "And I may have some idea as to what has occurred." It's voice had changed, sounding more feminine rather than neutral. However hearing that Arceus may have an answer for what was happening distracted Emmet from addressing the sudden change. "There is a lot of evidence I have gathered, but I will simply get straight to the point. We may've been pulled into an entirely different universe."
Emmet didn't have anyway to properly respond to that claim. He just stood there in utter silence and shock. Reality had to be playing tricks with him. But he just literally heard that answer from a god.
He eventually found his voice again. "Explain?" He requested, to which the Alpha Pokémon sighed.
"While I'm able to manipulate the universe at my will, I seemingly have no control over any of the elements anymore. Combined with my inability to travel between dimensions I should always have access to. Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga are dealing with similar issues too, and the fact that I've lost connection with my higher consciousness." The avatar explained to the human. "Also, the fact that every pokémon has undergone some change in anatomy to match with the logic of this universe."
"logic?" Emmet asked. "Since when does my pokémon having literal boobs have any logic?" Faith was busy inspecting her new assets, getting used to the new weight they added to her chest.
The the Avatar of Arceus shrugged. "I couldn't tell you. This universe is not my own, so I have zero knowledge of it's history or rules."
Emmet just sighed, not sure what kind of answer he was hoping for. He finally stood up, with Faith standing up as well beside him. Her breasts jiggled with her movement, only drawing his attention towards them even more. Who could blame him? Any guy would be fixated on any women with such a healthy set of assets. It was generally human male nature to be attracted to woman with such assets. The only difference being that Faith was a pokémon, not a human, so this only made him feel awkward to be staring at her like that.
Back on topic, "Fine then. Where were you off at before you showed up again? Also, what's with the voice change?" He asked the female sounding Arceus.
"I was out scouting our new surroundings, along with several others. As for my change in voice, well—," Arceus hesitated in thought, trying to figure out how to explain this to Emmet. "You do know that I am merely a presence, and this form is only but an avatar allowing me to directly interact with the physical realm, correct?" That much Emmet knew as he nodded. "Good. Then to put it simply, I am not Arceus. At least Arceus as a whole. I am now but a mere fragment of memories and power trapped inside of this form. When my connection with my whole self was severed following our appearance in this universe, I took on an individual conscience of my own, while retaining the identity of Arceus." Most of that was a little too complicated for Emmet to fully understand, but he got the basics of it. "Not actually Arceus, but still Arceus at the same time. "As for the voice change, this avatar was originally designed without any gender in mind. However, it would seem this universe's logic made a few changes to it."
By changes, Emmet already had idea. The avatar was given female gender, based on the feminine voice. Anything else, Emmet didn't want to know about. Not until he could mentally handle everything much easier.
Right now, he had to make sure everyone and the island were ok. Who knows what jumping universes could've done. "I need to make a personal headcount, see everyone's alright for myself."
"I've already done that master," Joy said as she ran up beside her trainer. "I can help show you around the island where everyone is now."
"I'm coming too." Faith said. Emmet appreciated the company, following the Blissey while Faith tagged along beside him. Emmet still could not help but look over at Faith's exposed breasts every time they jiggled. She noticed him staring and blushed. "Do they look alright, at least?"
Emmet was taken aback by the question. It was genuine but rather too innocent for his tastes. He would have to teach her about public indecency and find something to cover her breasts up. Her dress obviously failed to do the job properly. "They...suit you pretty well." It was an honest answer. They looked nice on her, and in a way made her appear more attractive, to him at least. "Do you feel comfortable with them?"
"It feels weird, and the weight is something to get used to." Faith answered. "Is this what every human female has to carry around with them?"
"Meh...I never was one for checking out a girl's size, but some come in bigger or smaller. By the way, we're gonna need something to cover those up."
"About that whole public decency thing?" Faith asked, already knowing what he was previously thinking about. "I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable Emmet."
"It's not your fault Faith, it's mine. I'm just not used to seeing a woman's assets out on show, and you weren't given those by your own will. So it's I who should apologize for the ways I've reacted."
"Apology accepted, Emmet."
The trainer reached behind his gardevoir and across to her shoulder, pulling her closer in a side embrace which she leaned into. Whatever was going on, they'll get through it together.
And hopefully he can stop staring at breasts while feeling like a perv.
With a little guidance from Joy, Emmet was able to make a personal headcount of everyone. So far nothing bad's happened, aside from everyone becoming spooked from the events before they ended up in another universe. However amongst almost every female member, there were a lot, he noticed several changes similar to Faith. Some of them were now sporting human like breasts as well, and most of those individuals were unable to conceal them effectively, so they were out and showing. Others, with quadruple footing, had hanging udders located between their hind legs or rows of nipples along their lower bellies. All of the legendaries, who've been associated with female pronouns, were showing these new features as well. Which was a shock since they didn't initially have any genitalia to speak of. Even jumping between dimensions was able to alter the anatomy of legendary pokémon.
It would be an hour later until he was done inspecting everyone, creating a list of changes to each pokémon and a smaller list of new garments that would be needed for each pokémon unable to hide their new assets. The males of his island had absolutely no problems, either able to hide their genitals with their own fur or with clothing some members already had on. At least it made things less awkward for him.
"Out of everyone here, I think Melody has the biggest of them." Faith mentioned the primarina Emmet met as a wild Brionne back in Alola. The fins draped around her chest did absolutely nothing to hide the absolute titanic K-cup sized rack on her. The Soloist Pokémon actually seemed quite proud of it, after the shock of it's sudden appearance wore off. It kinda made Faith feel jealous, especially when several other females had larger cup sizes than her.
"I should perform a deep physical regarding the change in anatomy." Joy added. "Based on what I've observed, reproductive organs may've been altered as well. I wanna check and make sure if so, not of it is gonna cause any health problems."
"You have the go ahead," Emmet answered. "If you think it may be important, go for it. If anyone resists, tell them I ordered it done and they'll comply." The Blissey nodded and walked off elsewhere, likely grabbing a medical bag Emmet bought for her with special instruments. She was literally like a private Nurse Joy for him and his pokémon. "You also follow her Faith, I want you checked first."
"Very well. Take care Emmet." Faith floated off, following Joy. This left Emmet to compile his thoughts of what's been happening. Sudden tiredness, waking up in another universe, and now his female pokémon and best friend have been turned into sexified individuals. This was not how he planned to spread his days until the next Pokémon League Championship starts, and then it was off to the World Coronation Series. Unless he finds a way back to his universe, there was no way he would be there for the championship.
"It seems things have gotten a little crazy around here, especially with all the girls." A male voice stated, in which Emmet turned and saw one of his pokémon from Alola. Zuko the Incineroar. He was one of the first to join his team while on the islands, and as he evolved and grew older, became quite the bold character. Though he was more than that. He also served more in the role as a big brother or councilor for when members of his team felt down or were troubled. "I take it this is quite the shock to you?"
"More than you can probably understand." Emmet sighed, which was true. Pokémon weren't naturally born with the taboo of public indecency. Though Zuko did have a general idea of it, considering how long he's been around humans. "It's been a weird day for me, seeing so many parts that should be kept hidden, suddenly appear on individuals they shouldn't even exist on. I worry this may cause problems, like if I start seeing the girls differently."
"Is that so wrong? You feel attracted to them, do you not?" Zuko questioned.
"Of course, women with a nice rack is most certainly something men like myself are attracted to. But it makes me feel like a perv, and I fear it'll eventually creep the girls out."
The incineroar simply laughed, which confused Emmet as he looked at the pokémon with a shocked expression. "I doubt it'll make the girls feel creeped. Don't tell any of them this, but one of them mentioned getting your attention with their new assets." That statement made Emmet do a double take. He didn't expect something like that from who he kinda considers as the closest to a big brother. "The girls all love you, more often than how you think believe it or not. If you find yourself staring don't feel shamed, as I bet they like the attention. It often makes me kinda jealous that they're more interested in you than me and the other guys."
"Wait...why would they be more interested in me rather than you?" Emmet questioned. "Wouldn't you be a more suitable partner for a majority of them than I?"
Zuko just shrugged and shook his head. "The girls don't often share their secrets. But I think is has to do with the bond you share with all of us." He then turned to leave but added one more thing. "Think about what I said, the girls all love you, and wouldn't mind you being attracted to them." He then left. Emmet's mind was still conflicted, but if what Zuko said was true, then it at least eased some of his worries. Did the girls think of him as more than just a friend or trainer? What did Faith actually feel towards him? He occasionally felt sudden rises in intimacy towards him on occasion, even before all of this happened. He just never brought it up or suspected it to be her attachment to him.
He would have to bring up that question before bed.
Looking down at his Pokétch, it was reaching past 8:00 P.M. At least back in his universe, since he wasn't sure if time was the same here. At least the starry sky was up, so the times must be close together.
Perhaps it was best to get some sleep soon, think more about everything going on with a fresh mind.
"Do you require any help sleeping, master?" A feminine voice asked and was followed by a warm pink glow that brought a pleasant sensation. Emmet felt a bit more relaxed as he turned and saw none other than Cresselia floating over.
"Actually, yeah I might. With everything that's be going on, some others will likely as well."
"I'll be happy to serve you, and help the restless as is my duty. Might I ask, do you still hold that Lunar Feather I first gave you?"
Emmet actually chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head while facing the Lunar Pokémon. "About that, I may've given it to someone else who was in more need of it than I. I hope you don't mind."
Cresselia, while not angry, was annoyed. "You are noble indeed. However that specific feather was something special for you only." She paused before generating a new Lunar Feather, and offering it to him. "Don't lose this one."
"I won't." Emmet promised and stored the feather away in his pocket. He met Cresselia back in Sinnoh not long after defeating Team Galaxy with the assistance of Cynthia and Giratina against an enslaved Palkia and Dialga. He stumbled upon a pair of disgruntled Galaxy Grunts with the goal of bringing Team Galaxy back to glory. Their main target was Cresselia, so they could steal and sell off her Lunar Feathers for money. However, once they recognized who he was, they put their attention on him, declaring they would avenge their leader. It didn't go well for them, and they were arrested shortly after. It would be before he dozed off for the night that he encountered Cresselia, who offered him the first Lunar Wing and left. Before he left Sinnoh, he found her again and managed to catch her, adding her to his roster of caught pokémon. She's made brief appearances throughout the following years ever since. "By the way, how're the others doing?" By other he meant the other legendaries.
"Well, the biggest news regarding the others would be Dialga now having udders between her hind legs." Which was associated with pokémon of equine or cervine stature. The Temporal Pokémon, along with a Scolipede, were the odd ones. "Giratina has recently started teasing her about it."
Emmet could only laugh, now wondering what the Renegade Pokémon was doing. "By the way, check yourself out with Joy for a physical. She wants to make sure no health issues are gonna develop from these, changes. Make sure the others go along with it too." Cresselia did not argue, floating off to find the Blissey. It was then he spotted Faith approaching, done with her physical. "How was it?"
"Joy said I'm all clear. Along with some, other things. I should be alright."
"Glad to hear it." Emmet then released a loud yawn. "You tired yet? Because I'm already exhausted."
"I agree. Perhaps we should sleep the night off." The two retired away into Emmet's own home, which was anything but a huge mansion. It was shaped and sized more like wood cabin with an attic storage area, an outdoor balcony, and a basement workshop and cellar. All in all, it was a very comfortable home, being insulated and with proper air conditioning, which he learned how to fix himself considering how long it took a repair company to come all the way out here in the event it broke down. He had a small living room which was connected directly to a small kitchen with a dining table. There was a small restroom with only a toilet and sink. Then came to his bedroom, which was complete with a King sized bed, several drawers, and a closet for everything he needed. Connected to the room was a full sized bathroom, with a sink, toilet, and shower that also doubled as a bath. All the water he needed was distilled from the surrounding oceans, so he paid nothing for his own water supply.
Emmet had already gone and taken a brief rinse in the shower to remove any bits of dirt or grime off him, changing into his sleepwear. Faith was in the shower next, since she regularly slept with him. It was a trend that started since she was still a ralts, and has continued to this day.
Though this time, it felt different. Not just from her new breasts, but from what Zuko mentioned to him earlier. If he was to consider anyone closest to him, it would be Faith.
"Hey, Faith..." He started off, catching her attention as they both climbed in the bed. "I've been wondering about this for some time. What do you think of me?"
"What do mean by that?"
"What I mean is, how do you view our relationship? Do you just see me as a friend, or is there something more that you've not told me?" The gardevoir's aura suddenly spiked in panic and nervousness, and knowing her, she would try to avoid the question.
"What brought this up?" Bingo.
"Faith..." Emmet answered, letting her know her gig was up and she wasn't avoiding the question.
She sighed. "I guess I haven't been really subtle about it, have I?" Emmet nodded. "Then I'll just get it out of the way. I have more intimate feelings for you!" She stayed quite, waiting for how her trainer would respond. Emmet simply gestured for her to go on. "This isn't anything new or recent. I've been hiding it ever since I evolved into Gardevoir. I've been keeping these feeling under, but over time they've been festering and building to the point I can no longer hide them effectively. I've wanted to be more than just a friend and partner to you, but I've been hiding it."
"Why?" Emmet asked.
"Because, I knew it would label you as a poképhillia, as everyone calls it, and it would ruin your reputation. I didn't want that kind of damage done to you. But, the real reason why I hid these feelings, was because I was afraid. I was afraid of how our current relationship would change. How you would view me? I was afraid you would reject me, and things would never be the same." Faith finally went silent, looking to her trainer for his reaction.
Emmet sighed. "I appreciate your concerns over my own reputation. I would've preferred if you brought these feelings to my attention earlier." Faith looked down in shame. "Me and you, we've been close for most of our lives, and since then it's felt like we were made for each other. My mind is still confused and conflicted with everything, but one thing on my mind is clear. I love you Faith, and nothing will ever change that." The gardevoir looked up with a spike of hope in her emotions and aura. "I can't deny your feelings even if I wanted to. My heart tells me something about this seems right between us. I'll be willing to take a risk, and bring our relationship to another level from what it is." At that moment, the gardevoir simply broke down, jumping onto and embracing Emmet in a hug with tears pouring down her face. The trainer could only accept the embrace as he held her in his arms.
"Thank you. Thank you so much Emmet." She whispered in his head while still crying tears of joy. Then suddenly they felt an urge from deep within their souls. Emmet didn't know what it was, but it felt so right as he lifted Faith's chin so they were face to face, eyes to eyes. He suddenly reached down for her lips, and kissed her. The gardevoir was taken aback by his sudden approach but did not resist, rather melting into him as they exchanged tastes with each other. Her mouth was sweet while his was spicy.
Probably from their recent meals.
The two soon pulled away, drawing back their breaths while looking at one another with sparkles in their eyes. Something had bloomed between them, and it would only now grow stronger.
"I think we should now get some sleep. Talk more about this tomorrow morning." Faith could only agree, feeling tired herself as she climbed in bed, being closer to Emmet as the two finally fell asleep.
From outside, Cresselia had watched the whole scene play out. The Lunar Pokémon could only smile at the two's romantic exchange. However she could not ignore the sense of desire and jealousy festering from inside her. "Why do I keep having these feelings?" She asked herself, not knowing where these emotions were coming from or why she was feeling them. "Shouldn't I be happy? They both deserve each other more than anyone." She mentally sighed, trying to ignore these troubles while carrying out with her master's request. Expelling her presence across the island to allow everyone a easier and more peaceful sleep.
She could sense and feel the dreams of every individual on the island, able to peer inside and manipulate them at her will. However one thing that stood out were in the dreams of female members, including her legendary compatriots.
They were all about Emmet, and him giving them the same attention as she just watched between him and the gardevoir. "What is going on?" She asked in shock as she continued looking through her dreamscape. "Why does everyone suddenly show such strong desires for him? Why am I showing strong desires for him?"
