Aegis Mountain B2, Morning

	Deep within Aegis Mountain, the only things that can be heard are the sounds of rocks crumbling, the grunts of a pokemon lifting something heavy, and the occasional sound of someone moaning. The word “chaotic” would be the first thing cross someone’s mind if they were hearing all of these things at once. But, to overseers and the average mining Pokemon, this was considered normal. A perfectly normal life. One that brings joy to all who live under it. At least, that what the lifestyle was at the beginning. 
Aegis Mountain was old and so was the lifestyle of mining it. Hence why the town built at the mountain’s base also considered old and behind the times. Most residents of the town had no concerns. But some did, namely, a certain Overseer who was on-duty today… 
	“Ugh… How long until lunch?” A blue-scarfed Zoroark sat on top of a rock, his face filled with a bored expression. None of the workers below him answered at all nor, did he expect them to. They were too busy being in their working rhythm to care about his question.
	“Well, since the day just started, about 3 to 4 hours from now?” The illusion fox lifted his head to see a smug Lycanroc walking towards him. The zoroark merely rolled his eyes and went back to staring at nothing.
	“It was rhetorical Kol.”
	Kol only smiled wider at the response. “I know. But it’s the only way you let me engage with you during work.”
“We can engage with each other after work. Besides, I’m busy right now.”
The Lycanroc began laughing hysterically. “BAHAHAH~! Yeah, I’m sure you’re busy Zen. Being bored and brooding in the corner is incredibly hard!”
Kol’s laughter was cut short with a bonk to his head. The ground below him cracked under the pressure, sending a rain of pebbles tumbling towards the workers below. All Kol could muster was a slight moan of pain at the action.
Meanwhile, Zen’s brooding face changed into a smile. Shutting up Kol’s antics always did make him feel better. “Not so funny now huh Kol?”
The lycanroc slowly lifted his head back up to meet Zen’s. Tears looked like they were about to fall from his face. “I can’t believe you would do that Zen. I thought we were partners.”
Zen looked at him unapologetically. “Nah we’re coworkers right now. So, I gotta treat you as such. But…”, with a smile forming on his face, “Maybe after shift we can go back to being partners… And I may find some use for your ass as well. How about that?”
Kol nearly howled in delight. “YEAH!! There’s that smiling zoroark I married!”
Zen’s face grew red in embarrassment, this truly was the same old shit on a different day. “Shut up you… Maybe next time I’ll apply more force to Brick Break to actually damage you.”
“Awww… My precious Zen wants to make even bigger cracks with his attacks. AHHH! It’s so cute!” Kol’s eyes were filled with hearts at the thought. “You always know how to flatter me Zen.”
Zen could only shake his head. “Tch… All of this, just to get me to stop brooding…”
“Yep! And it’s always worth it! I would do it every single day!”
Zen sighed. “That’s the problem Kol. It’s been this way pretty much every day! The same old ceremonies, the same old workers, and the same old mining! Nothing else has been found in our section for weeks at this point! And yet, despite all that we report, Chief still says we should waste our time here. I’m pretty sick of it as a whole…”
Kol’s act dropped. He sat himself up next to his mate and wrapped his paw around his shoulders. “I understand your frustration Zen… Being honest, I feel the same way too…”
Zen’s eye peered into Kol’s. “Wait, you do?”
Kol let out an exasperated sigh. “Yes, Zen. I do. I know I don’t always look like I care or have awareness of anything, but you know me, that’s how cope with living in this backwater place.
Zen’s eye only widened when realized his mistake. “Oh right. Right… I’m sorry Kol. I got caught up in my complaining and- “
The lycanroc put a finger to his love’s mouth. “Shut. You don’t need to apologize Zen. You never need to… Same shit different day remember?”
Zen chuckled. The first of any sort of laughter he had on this shift. “Yeah… Same shit…”
The two nuzzled and held each other for a few moments. The savory feeling of their fur brushing up against one another was always a comfort. Something to make them forget the dreary, old walls of the cave they had to oversee.
Kol would break the silence with a question. “What’s one new thing you want to see?”
Zen reopened his eyes. He hadn’t noticed he closed them during the embrace. He thought on the question. Searching for the one new thing he craved the most. “It’s not something I want to just see. It’s something I want to experience and experiment with. I want… to add a worker to our family….”
Kol’s eyes immediately widened at the request. “You want a WHAT!?”
Zen could only smile at the lycanroc’s reaction. “You heard me.”
“I-I know I heard you b-but, really? Why!?” Kol was truly lost. Both he and Zen knew what such a request would require and said requirements were far from the pair’s reach.
“Well, I want to give you something to play with.”
Kol raised an eyebrow. “Huh?” 
“You’ve been putting up with my brooding and annoying antics for so long Kol. You need something to play with.”
“B-but. I already get my fix by “playing” with you after shift.”
“Kol. I have to be honest here. I don’t think ramming my large cock into your tailhole every night is enough.”
“It is enough you oaf! I’m perfectly fine being a bottom. I’m fine cumming by feeling you inside me.”
“I know, I know. But you do deserve to feel someone else’s insides too. It feels fair!”
“I don’t need to feel it Zen.”
“Come on, every pokemon needs to feel it once! Even females do it! At least one shot…”
Kol mulled it over in his head. It’s true that the lycanroc was a bottom from the moment he had sex. Feeling something in his mouth and ass always felt better than having his cock be inserted into anything. The thought of the act alone was enough to turn him off and make him flaccid again. He didn’t find it disgusting nor uncomfortable, but it was definitely a tangible obstacle that sometimes ruined the pair’s sex.
Zen knew that Kol would be resistant to the whole idea, but he couldn’t pass up this opportunity. It always brought the zoroark guilt whenever he finished is load into Kol while the lycanroc’s hard cock sat fully erect and close to its own orgasms but having to let it remain on edge at his lover’s request.
Silence filled the air again as Kol debated with himself. He had to admit, Zen was right. Every pokemon has topped at least once. It was just a part of their nature. Getting it out of the way now would surely suppress the instinct permanently for him and would ultimately make their sex less awkward overall. “… Fine. I’ll do it. But only once and because you really want me to.” 
Zen became filled with excitement. “Yes! I promise I’ll find you a good worker to start with. I’ll even ask Chief if he could- “
The lycanroc put his paw squarely over Zen’s mouth. “Ah, ah, ah. I agreed to it Zen, but I also get to pick the worker.”
“Oh right, it’s only fair…”, the zoroark calmed himself back down and Kol removed his paw from him. “Well then, my precious wolf boy, what are you looking for? I know for a fact that there plenty of available workers in our section to pick from.”
Kol quickly shook his head. “Nah, I don’t want any workers from here. You and I both know we know all of them too well.”
“Alright then, how about a worker from B3 or B4? They have less used workers.”
“Nah, I already know Tark and Lono won’t share any workers with us. And Pike and Quail would give us the most embarrassing time while we picked any worker from B4.”
“Well… Uh, that’s all our options then Kol. We don’t have jurisdiction in any other parts.”
“I know…”, a devious smile began to form on the lycanroc’s face, “that’s why I want someone new. Someone exotically new.”
Zen face became stupefied. “HUH!? Kol, have you lost it?! There’s no other more exotic workers that we don’t already have.”
Kol only chuckled. “Yeah, you’re right. But what if, we make one?”
Too say that Zen was at a loss would be an understatement. Kol ideas could be eccentric at times. That was just an integral part of the lycanroc’s personality. In fact, it was one of the very reasons Zen fell in love with him. Occasionally, Kol would come up with an incredibly outlandish idea that was pretty much impossible to pull off. This idea had to be one of those moments. Zen was really hoping it was so. He peered deeply into the lycanroc’s eyes, searching for the “haha! I’m just kidding!” spark they would normally have. All he got in return was a deviously smiling Lycanroc with the most unironic face he could ever have.
“… Please tell me you’re not serious Kol.”
“Oh. I’m 100% serious Zen.”
“We haven’t had a new worker in months! Plus, we don’t even have clearance to do it. It’s an impossible request Kol.”
Kol kept his smile as he shrugged. “Ah well. Guess my dick isn’t being inserted into anyone’s ass at all then.”
Zen only growled in response. Once again, he was foiled by his love’s words. Kol had the zoroark believe he was in complete control over the conversation the whole time only to have the rug pulled from under him.
“Hah, fine. But just for that, I’m fucking you extra hard tonight.”
“Heh, a worthy sacrifice.”
Zen sighed in defeat while Kol giggled at his victory. The two would eventually go back to silently overseeing the workers again. However, as Kol began to focus on them, he began to notice something odd.
“Hey. Zen.”
The grumpy zoroark pretended not to hear his mate.
“H-hey. Zen.” The lycanroc’s voice began to sound very worried.
Zen let out a grumble in response.
“ZEN! I promise I’m not playing right now! STOP BROODING!”
The lycanroc began shaking Zen, the sudden force nearly pushing him off the rock. “OW, ow! OK Kol I’m listening! Stop digging into my fur!”
Kol quickly pulled his paws back. He checked them for blood.
“N-no you’re fine Kol. I’m not bleeding.”
A sigh of relief came out of the lycanroc’s mouth. “Whew. I’m glad.”
“Now. What is very important? You wanna start another conversation that you’re gonna win?”
“N-no Zen. I-I’m sorry about that. I don’t mean to do that. The problem is something else.”
“And what is that something?”
Kol angled a finger down to the workers below. “There’s one less worker in the cavern.”
Zen’s face was filled with confusion. “And? They’re probably fucking each other or something. That’s normal Kol.”
“Yeah! That would be normal if it was more than one. But only one worker is missing this time!”
Zen’s eyes widened as he frantically recounted the workers. There were 5 on the left, 5 on the right, and… 2 in the middle?
“No, that can’t be right. 5… 10… 11, 12…” Zen paused as the grave situation dawned on him.
“Kol! Where’s the 13th!?”
“I don’t know!”
“They should be there, in the middle, but they’re not!”
“I know!”
“By Arceus, this is bad! We’re already on thin ice with the Chief! This is gonna ruin everything!”
“We gotta find them before Chief does his morning walkaround!”
“Gah! We’ve been sitting here talking this whole time! What time is it now!?”
Kol frantically looked around for where the clock was. Being in charge of setting it up and timing it for the workers, you would think he would automatically know the location. Alas, his sharp eyes evaded the clock a lot more times than it should have. Once settled on it, his mind frantically puzzled the numbers together.
“I-It’s~!”
A thundering sound was heard at the edge of the cavern. Everything went silent. The workers all seized up, as stiff as statues the second the sound finished. Both Kol and Zen’s hairs were raised and their eyes wide open.
“Too late~…” was all that Kol could whimper out.
Another thundering sound was heard. 
Then, another…
And another... 
The booming sound came to a stop after one final one. The overseers held their breaths and waited. The order didn’t take long to be said.
“ZENDUS! KOLLACK! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!”
Zendus immediately scooped up his petrified mate and bounded down the rock. Whatever punishment that awaited them, he was keen to get it over with fast. And preferably, take the brunt of it.
At the entrance to the cavern, a large silhouette loomed. All Zendus could do was gulp and slowly set down Kollack. The lycanroc scrambled to stand up and bow to the silhouette.
In the very tense air, Kollack found it hard to find is suave and playful self. There was nothing to tease or joke about here. Only a punishment waiting to happen.
Zendus took the chance instead. Finding himself more steeled against the coming storm.
“Hhheeeyyyaaa Chief. Nice you see you.”
The silhouette remained in its oppressive stature, looming over the worthless overseers. It would speak once again, in a quieter but furious tone instead, “Do you two have any idea what you’ve done?”
Zendus broke at the pressure immediately. “W-WE’RE SORRY CHIEF! WE FUCKED UP! WE GOT SO LOST IN TALKING TO EACH OTHER THAT WE DIDN’T PAY ATTENTION TO OUR WORKERS! NOW ONE OF THEM IS MISSING AND WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY WENT AND WE’RE SCREWED!”
Zendus was heavily panting and light-headed after the confession. But he needed to keep going. “I, Zendus, Overseer of Aegis Mountain B2, take full responsibility for the problem. I’ll accept my punishment. I also request that you put all of Kollack’s blame on me. Having both of these punishments should mean that I’m demoted to being another worker. I solemnly swear to accept my new life as one in exchange for Kollack still remaining an overseer and being pardoned for this.”
Kollack was in complete shock. “Zen! What the fuck are you talking about?”
“We both don’t need to be demoted to workers Kol. Let me take the fall here.”
“No! Wherever you go, I go. Whatever happens to you happens to me!” Kollack turned to the Chief with resolve and tears. “Chief don’t hold back on either of us! Punish me in the same way Zen will be. Turn us both into workers.”
 Silence echoed throughout the cavern as the couple’s words set in. It would quickly be interrupted by a spark of electricity coming from the Chief. A few more sparks would shoot out. All until laughter was heard from him.
“HAHAHAHA! What are you two talking about?”
Kollack’s determined face changed into confusion. “Huh?” 
 The Chief’s silhouette began to shift and detach. Electric sparks emitted as an Emogla took flight and landed right in front of the overseers. The larger part of the silhouette stepped into the cavern as well, revealing a smiling Aggron.
The emolga looked back at the aggron and smiled, “Thanks for unnecessary escort Granite!”
Granite made a happy grunt at first before looking a bit worried at the emolga. “Now go back to your mining. I’ll make sure to give you a reward after shift.”
Granite face immediately began to blush. His tail began wagging and thumping the floor, causing mini-earthquakes to shake the cavern. Zendus and Kollack trembled at the rumbling, trying their best not to fall over. All the while, the emolga was laughing. “Yeah! Excited, aren’t we?”
Granite nodded.
“Good boy! Now stop shaking the cavern and get back your section.” The emolga pointed in the direction the two once came from. 
That was all Granite needed to hear and see for him to stop. His happy face turned into a sluggish smile as he turned around and walked away. The aggron would only say one thing as he disappeared deeper into the mountain: “Mine…”
With his escort gone, the emolga turned back to the two overseers. “Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll ask again, do you two have any ideas about what you have done?” His tone no longer being echoed by being on top of Granite turned it into a more casual one.
Kollack spoke up. “W-we lost one of our workers because w-we were shooting the shit talking to each other instead of watching them?”
Zendus also spoke up to finish the thought as well. “And now you’re here to punish and demote us because we’re already a punishment away from becoming workers?”
The chief looked at the pair with a very confused face. Sparks flew out of his cheeks as his emotions seemed to build inside his head. “WWWHAT??? Why would I ever punish you guys for doing something good?”
The two stayed silent, utterly dumbfounded as to what the emolga was talking about. The silence lingered for a few seconds, progressively making the emolga angrier. “Are you too really this inattentive and stupid?”
The couple looked at each other and then looked back the emolga. At same time, they both said, “Probably?”
An audible slapping sound echoed from the chief as his hand impacted his face. With a sigh, he walked passed them and towards the large rock the two once sat on. Upon reaching it, he gestured towards the two to follow.
Following his command, Zendus and Kollack found themselves at the base of the rock. There, the chief stood, his foot irritably tapping on the ground. Kollack took the chance to ask, “So… what happened here?”
Sparks once again began appearing on the chief’s cheeks. “That’s question I should be asking.” He then turned to the rock and pointed at a noticeable crack within the wall. “How did you guys do this?”
The two lit up at the crack. “Oh! We do that all the time Chief! Zen’s Brick Break is incredibly strong! He loooves to test it on me~!”
The chief’s expression went deadpan. “I know about that already Kollack. I’m talking about this one.” He gestured once again to the crack.
“Oh! That was just Zen’s latest brooding session I ended.”
“Hey!” Zen frowned at the lycanroc.
“Sorry Love, I’m only telling the truth.”
“Well, you could have explained it to the chief in better detail than that!” Zen turned back the emogla. “There’s a lot more too the story than that sir.”
“Nahh, there really isn’t. Mr. Brooder here did the same old, same old.”
Zen grabbed Kol by the shoulder, “Oh yeah? Well Mr. Brooder is gonna be doing a lot more than just the “same old, same old” to you tonight.”
Kol grinned sensually. “Mmmh. I can’t wait to experience it~”
Zen got closer to the lycanroc’s face. “I’m gonna make you regret those wor- “
Static electricity shot out from in front of the two. The blast blinded them in the light and the lightning surged through their bodies. Zen and Kol could only scream as they were fried by the electricity.
The chief channeled the Discharge for a few more seconds making deathly sure the two dimwits were going to feel it for a long while. The aftermath of the move left him with sparks still emanating from his cheeks, more than what they usually were but were still harmless now. His annoyed face looked down at the two slumped forms on the ground. There thankfully wasn’t any groans coming from them but him needing to use Discharge was more than enough to make him reconsider the reward he was going to give them.
“Now then, if you two idiots are done flirting, I’ll tell you what I’m here to reward you for.” The emolga walked over to the crack and felt around it. After a bit, he found a part of the rock that was weaker than the surrounding rock.
A smile formed on his face as he began to concentrate. The sparks of electricity that were beginning to calm down became more lively again. The emolga focused the sparks into a smaller point, and, with a quiet grunt, *ZAP* a part of the rock face crumbled away.
Kol helped Zen onto his knees and brushed at his fur. Zen smiled at the lycanroc. The feeling of his touch made the occasional sparks of electricity still coursing through him less painful. The zoroark brought up his hand to do the same, earning a satisfied sigh from Kol.
Out of the corner of the couple’s eyes, their vision turned a purplish color. Quickly, their eye darted to the source. There stood Chief, his gaze was fixed to the slightly larger crack in the wall. He held a smile on his face as he stared into the crevice.
Zen and Kol finally realized what the chief was referring to this whole time. But, just to confirm it, Zen asked the question, “Is that… What I think it is?”
The chief said nothing at first, choosing instead to dip his small body into the crack. After a few seconds, he would emerge again, holding a vibrant purple crystal. A sinister smile filled the emolga’s face as he examined it. After he finished, he finally answered his subordinate. “Yes… It’s exactly what you too think it is…”
Zen and Kol excitedly stood up. Zen’s face lit up with stars while Kol’s tail began viciously wagging. “So, you are here to give us a reward for our discovery! This is amazing! Zen can you believe it?!”
“I can’t believe it! What a stroke of luck for us!” The two were practically jumping around together. Finally, something different happened today. And that different event was none other than finding out that the very rock they were sitting on had a crystal in it.
The chief smiled at his overseer’s celebration. Telling them that Zendus’s Brick Break caused rocks to fall and strike one of the workers who then noticed the crack and told him would sour the mood. He would let them savor this. They were already on thin ice. 
The emolga would let this go on for a little longer before audibly clearing his throat. Zen and Kol stopped their celebration and turned attentively to him. “Now then, as is per tradition, you two deserve a reward! What would you two like?”
Zen and Kol looked at each other in silence. Their eyes quickly read the others. Progressively, Zen’s face turned into a crude, victorious smile and Kol’s face became one of mixed disappointment.
It is true that Zen found Kol’s idea impossible but, if there was one knack to the lycanroc’s requests, it would be that the impossibility always seemed to happen. Zen cleared his own throat, casting a few glances at Kol before he began to speak, the lycanroc simply remained silent. “Dear Chief, me and Kol were talking about a few things earlier this morning and I think we already know what we would like as a reward…”
The chief nodded his head. “That reward being?”
Zen smiled and revealed Kol’s entire request to the emolga. Kol had secretly hoped that the chief would decline or get angry at such a big request. However, instead of any such violence, Kol only saw a smile. Not the normal smile the emogla made. Not even his sinister and unnerving smile. No. Kol was witnessing the chief’s evil smile.
Lively sparks began to flow from the emolga’s cheeks again as he turned to Kol. “Your face tells me you’re hoping I would have declined this huh?”
Kol tried to keep a neutral face and diverted his eyes. Zen grabbed and pulled him in for a snuggle. “Daww don’t act that way, Kol. Remember this is gonna be an amazing experience for us all!”
Kol vainly held on to whatever skepticism he had left. “W-well won’t this be too much of a hassle for everyone? I mean, we would be going very far out of our way for this… So, why don’t we settle for something smaller like having some of our reputation and rank restored?”
The chief laughed heartily at Kol’s words. “You know what Kollack? Just for that, I’ll make it two separate rewards for both of you.”
“H-huh? W-wait I thought you couldn’t do that Chief!”
“Ohohh, I usually don’t but I’ll make an exception just for you.”
Kol eyes widened in surprise. “B-but why. Why would you do this all for me?”
Zen began brushing Kol’s fur again. The act began soothing the lycanroc. All the while, Zen spoke, “Because the chief understands. Everyone tops at least once… All you’re gonna do is do it once. Then, I won’t ever ask you to top again. Hell, I’ll get the worker and help me double penetrate you afterwards… Does that sound like a deal?”
Kol thought long and hard. His eyes shifted from the chief to his mate multiple times. The chief held a neutral but coercive look and Zen’s beautiful face still held a soft, affectionate look.
After a few more moments, Kol made up his mind. With a deep inhale and exhale, he spoke, “…Okay… I’ll do it.”
Zen’s eye’s shined and he pulled Kol into another deep hug. The lycanroc reciprocated the action, lovingly squeezing his partner. The chief put down the crystal and began clapping, causing the workers to turn around and begin clapping with him.
The hugs and applause would go on a while longer. When the chief stopped clapping, the worker stopped as well. The quiet noise was Zen and Kol’s sign that their hugging could stop. 
Kol pulled away from Zen, a blush filled his face as he imagined himself attempting to be a top while the zoroark watched. The image did seem hot at first but the lingering thought of inserting his cock into something hung in his mind as well.
Zen could sense the doubts and reassured his love again. “It’s only gonna be once, and never again. I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.”
Kol began to tear up. What did HE do to deserve such a devoted lover? He couldn’t resist pushing himself back up against the zoroark in another hug again. He just had to.
Zen merely chuckled at his loves embrace again and glanced back down at the chief. “Yeah, I think we’re ready now Chief.”
Sparks began to wildly emit from the emolga’s cheeks as his evil smile returned. “Good, let’s get you lovers the perfect worker…”
