[center][b]Chapter 2: The New Guild Recruits Part 2: New Team, First Mission[/b][/center] [b]DRENCHED BLUFF.[/b] The pair arrived not long after they left the guild to begin their mission. There were several similarities to the previous dungeon the pair had been in, Beach Cave. However, unlike its cobalt blue and coral pink aesthetic, Drenched Bluff took on a more natural appearance of faded brown crags and a seafoam blue, smooth gravel and rock flooring. The rocky walls of the cave’s entrance appeared to be caked with lush green moss. “This place looks nice.” Jack began, examining the dungeon opening. “So this place is called Drenched Bluff, you said?” “Yep. Looks kinda like that beach cave place I got dragged through. Unsurprising though, considering what a bluff is.” Pecan rolled up the map and placed it into the treasure bag. “Alright, so somewhere in there is Spoink’s pearl. Let’s go in there, beat ass, eat ass, and make bank!” She marched right on ahead before her partner could even get in a word. Jack looked on at the confident Emolga and shrugged with a chuckle. “She’s a keeper~” He smiled and quickly followed behind the female into the dungeon. The two were thrown right into an open room as was usual when first entering a dungeon. Immediately, the pair examined their surroundings. Aside from the shift of colors, the area was very much similar to that of Beach Cave. Craggy rock walls, gravely floor, and a pink, west sea Shellos in the corner eyeing them down with a low gurgling sound. “One Shellos start huh? What do you wanna do?”Pecan looked to her partner, nudging him. “We could leave it and flee, fight it, or… [i]negotiate[/i] with it.” “Hmm… let’s try to avoid most conflicts for now. My balls are kinda sore from pouring all of their contents into your body.” Jack reached down to cup his gems, said sac having shrunk down a bit from their usual plump and potent size. Sure enough, those orbs were still reloading after the torrential amount of liquid lust he’d erupted since becoming encased in his new Pikachu body. “’Kay then. If anything comes up, I’ll take the lead.” Pecan gave the chu a pat on the back and the pair begin to walk out of the room opposite of the Shellos who didn’t bother giving chase. Down the dark corridor they went, barely able to see in front of them. “Hey Pecan?” Jack started up. “What’s up?” “You know about these weird dungeons, right?” “Yeah, been through tons on my home continent.” “Well, I know Chatot told us a lot about how they work and all but do you know [i]why[/i] they exist?” “Huh, never thought about it from that angle.” Pecan stopped abruptly to think, causing Jack to bump up against her from behind. “Oops. Probably should’ve said something, sorry.” “It’s cool, it’s fine.” Jack scratched the back of his head. “Whatcha thinking ‘bout?” “Your question. I’ve been through many a dungeon in my various travels between this continent and home. I’ve wondered about dungeon properties, what makes ‘em tick, what makes them so mysterious and borderline magical. But I’ve never thought about [i]why[/i] dungeons even exist. How they came to be. Where their magical properties even came from. All this time, we explorers, wanderers, and rescuers have traversed these magical oddities without even stopping to realize that they were just that.” “Rescuers?” Jack spoke up. He’d heard of explorers, what with becoming an exploration team and the like, but rescuers? Were there other types of dungeon crawler types? “Yeah, rescuers.” Pecan began, the pair trekking down the stairs to the next floor. “There are four major types of Pokemon teams. Rescuers, Bounty Hunters, Explorers, and Community Servers. Each team serves a primary purpose. Rescue Teams primarily perform rescues for Pokemon that are lost, endangered, gone missing, etcetera. Bounty Hunters specialize in finding, capturing, and detaining outlaws and criminals. Community Servers focus on building town communities. They don’t do much dungeon crawling like the rest of us do. Think of them as the stay-at-home friend that keeps it tidy and organized while you work to provide a home for the two of you. Explorers—that’s us, as you know—specialize in… well… exploration! Being an explorer is a good jack of all trades decision for those new to the whole Mystery Dungeon scene. There’s a little bit of everything from rescue missions to outlaw bounties to even some community service. But there’s more to it than that. Explorers do have their own specialty. We are the ones that trek uncharted territories, scouting out new dungeons for others to explore. We are the initial investigators that deem whether or not a newly discovered dungeon is safe enough for public exploration. It’s a wild world out there, it isn’t always gonna be walks on the beach. “Coincidentally, I’ve heard Wigglytuff’s Guild is the prime hot spot for newbie explorers. It was built in such a way that all the nearest dungeons are the easiest to traverse. It seems most dungeons pick up their difficulty the farther from the guild it is. Of course, while Wigglytuff’s isn’t the only guild on this continent, it is easily the most famous for that reason alongside Wigglytuff himself being a supposed prodigy in the field. They say that he’d been a master explorer since he was a kid! He’s so wrapped up in mysteries of his own—mmmhf! What a male~!” Pecan squeezed herself and squirmed, biting her lip and blushing a faint red hue. “Whoa, okay there. I think you’re starting to get a little sidetracked.” Jack chuckled and shook his head. It was becoming quite clear to him just how much she really wanted to jump the pink, oval shaped blob of joy and friendliness. Probably only a matter of time, too. “That’s a lot to take in, though. Doubt I’m gonna remember it all easily but guess it’ll come to me in time. Right now, we oughta put our focus back on the mission. D’you know how far we got? I ain’t been paying attention to how many stairs we found.” “Huh… I know we went down at least one flight so we gotta be at least at the 2nd basement. Uhh, shoot umm, let’s just keep going. We’ll reach the bottom eventually. Stay alert, ‘less your balls get drained again. There’s not a lotta varying species here. Very similar to Beach Cave from what I recall in my past couple visits a few days before we met. Shellos are the most dangerous here, they have a highly active libido and use it as a means of fighting. They’ll try to drain their enemy by masturbating a male with their gooey, moist undersides slithering on them or assault a female by forming a phallic shape out of their gooey underside and essentially simulating sex. They are relentless, too. They don’t stop until somebody reaches a satisfaction point—you’d best hope they do first or you’re gonna be out of this dungeon quick.” “You sure know a lot about Shellos, huh?” “Oh yeah, had a run-in with one before back on my continent. Really knew my sweet spots, that bugger. Though, it was an East Sea Shellos, the ones here are West Sea. Not sure if West Sea acts the same.” Pecan’s tail swished idly as she recalled the encounter. It wasn’t particularly a bad one, that Shellos really fucked her up good. Figuratively and literally. He went deep, exaggerated his throbs, and really jabbed her fleshy walls. Had her cumming three times in minutes. Then he battered up her vulnerable form. “Yeah… they’re ruthless bastards...” “Think it’s safe to say West Sea Shellos ain’t too different. Dunno if I told ya but I had a run-in of my own with a couple of ‘em. Fuck, if they didn’t try to fuck and suck my dick dry and e’rrything, holy shit did it feel good, though. I think I escaped or something. My amnesia might be fucking with my ability to remember things, it happened just yesterday.” “Ah, don’t worry about it. You survived and got pass them one way or another, that’s all that matters. Anywho, Lileep and Anorith are here too. Lileep are strange ones. They have a primarily male preference when it comes to sexual matters. They’ll engulf your cock into their… err, what would you call it?… Their facehole? Flower mouth?” “[b]Venus dick trap![/b]” “Jack, [i]PLEASE.[/i]” “Sorry.” “You’re not wrong, though? Probably? But that’s pretty much it, yeah. Dick goes in, get sucked dry. From what I’ve seen before, it’s an awfully aggressive blowjob. And they don’t stop. They literally suck you ‘til you faint. A buddy of mine from my continent got his dick caught up in a Lileep before, lemme tell you I learned what a three minute roller coaster ride of emotions looked like that day. His last words were ‘Arceus, I’m coming for you.’ before he dropped unconscious and got warped out. He didn’t die or anything, but I find those choice of last words to be… accurate, for lack of a better word. “I wish I could give you some intel on Anorith, but I don’t know everything unfortunately. I’m just speaking off bits of personal research and experience. There’s also Chingling here. I dunno how they work sexually? Like… they don’t do much. They kinda just scream at you, ring themselves, then run away. If you see one, just don’t go near it, I guess.” Down another flight the pair went, not paying their surroundings any mind. They were quite lucky making it down two stairways with having only encountered a single Shellos. Said luck went south however when they touched down to find themselves in a room with a Lileep and a Chingling, both standing close from different angles. “Ah shit.” Jack gulped. Lileep was nearest to him and it was giving him quite the stare, those luminescent yellow eyes opened wide and gazing at him, as if glaring a hole right through his body. Its head shifted downward to avert its gaze toward the male’s crotch. A plump sheath and a healthy pair of balls… the Lileep’s body began to gyrate and its flowery mouth-like opening began to pulsate in a slight open and close motion while a bit of liquid drooled from its… orifice. “Urk… Hey Pecan?” “Yeah, Jack?” “Losing health, fainting, all that jazz… does it hurt badly?” “Well, in regular battle, the amount of pain is dependent on how it gets delivered to the target. It could be a series of weak attacks like Scratch or Tackle or something. It could be a repeat of Thunderbolts and Fire Blasts. Or it could be your dick disappearing into a Lileep and you get the soul actually sucked out through your cock. Based on the merciful screams and actual bargaining for his dick that my partner did… keep your feet on the ground and use your fists, buddy.” “Gee, thanks.” Jack rolled his eyes. How useful. “Really could go for knowing how to use my electrical powers right about now. A Thundershock would help a LOT.” The Lileep wasted not another moment as it lunged toward the Pikachu with an echoy, gargled cry. “FUCK!” Jack jumped out of the way, falling on his front and quickly composing himself, picking himself up off the ground and turning just in time to see the Lileep pounce again, this time dripping a grimy lime green liquid from its mouth. “Jack, it’s leaking Acid, it’s planning an attack!” Pecan alerted his partner. Before she could do anything to intervene, a shrill screech echoed through both electric-type’s ears, practically stunning them from the surprise cry. Both instinctively covered their ears, eyes shut in agony from the deafening screech that halted as suddenly as it began. Opening her eyes, the Emolga spotted the Chingling once in front of her now in a sprint down the hall further into the dungeon. “Chingling… I hate Chingling...” “P-Pecan—uwaaa!? A-A little help please!!” Pecan’s ears perked up and she turned her attention to find her partner pinned under the Lileep’s weight with it pressing and grazing three of its pink tentacle-like pedals against the male’s sheath, quickly coaxing out the Pikachu’s organ. It would take awhile for them to get used to seeing a human style cock rousing out of a sheath, it just looked so wrong. “Oh sh—hang on, I gotcha!” Pecan got down in the runner position and kicked forward, jumping into the air and diving toward the Lileep. The fossil Pokemon seemed to plan ahead as it allowed her to get in close before firing a gush of its Acid attack point blank at her face. “Kyaa!! My eyes!” She screeched, some of the burning liquid managing to get into her eyes before she could close them. Lileep ducked so the Emolga flew right overhead and crashed into a wall, wiping frantically at her eyes to try and stop the temporary sting sooner. “That son of a bitch is gonna pay big time when this Acid wears out!” “Pecan?? PECAN!?” Jack began to panic, now finding himself in quite the predicament. “Oh fuck… oh f-ffffuuuck...” He shuddered, his emotions clashing with the twinge of pleasure pricking its way into his body. He felt the warmth around the head of his now erect malehood, the suckles starting tender. The sensitive glands of his exposed bellend were traced by what felt like a sort of tongue, coiling and swirling the engorged head, winning trembles and breathy gasps from the chu. “A-Alright, there… e-easy now, just b-be nice and gentle with it—aahh—n-no need to...y-y’know… get super into it and lose sight of the goal here, eh heh heh. It’s just a little lighthearted sexual fun, that’s all!...” Jack tried manipulating the fossil’s intentions, though it seemed to only aggravate the plant creature as the tender swirl around his length began a suction right at the end of the sensitive gland and a powerful suckage started up. “H-hohoOOoOOHH MY GOD~!” Jack’s eyes widened, his back arched, all feeling in his body went numb save for the violent outburst of euphoric pain that immediately attacked him. Everything went from zero to one hundred just like that, the Lileep dropping down his girth to half of its 8 inch length, the powerful milking not letting up in the slightest. Holy fuck… it was literally pleasure so good it hurt. It hurt like hell! But goddamn did it feel so good!? How could such clashing sensations exist? “Grrgrllgl...” The Lileep growled around the Pikachu’s meat, the resulting vibrations only skyrocketing the already unbearable pleasure. Jack wanted to scream, he wanted to shout, he wanted to fight back, do something! [i]But… but if I did that, it wouldn’t suck me anymore. But it’s too much! It’s so good… it hurts! No, I… I want it… I don’t, b-but I do! Gah! GAH![/i] “GAAH F-FFUUUCK!!” Jack shouted, his eyes clenching shut and gritting his teeth. It had only been upwards of a minute and already was the hydrant gushing! Strings of potent chu cream splashed the inside of the Lileep’s trap hole. He could feel the convulsions of whatever orifice was sucking away at him as the creature drank down every glob, every rope, every spurt of semen. The male’s fat balls shrunk slightly as he was literally milked dry, those potent gems empty of their baby batter. And yet, Lileep did not release. Neither did it relent. The suction resumed, milking, slurping, organ swirling, growls vibrating. Jack shook, his mind was breaking fast. He thought the pleasure ached before, now he was in the afterglow of his orgasm and was especially sensitive. He’d much rather die than experience this. His mouth was agape in silent agony. He tried to scream, beg for mercy, move his body, anything to stop this monster! But the pleasureful pain was too great, it was like being frozen in time. He drooled over himself from his open maw, back remaining arched, muscles tensed to their limits. His cock throbbed desperately for relief from this torture. But it never ended; Lileep finally began to actually bob its head up and down the girthy dick. Jack thought that would help relieve him even if only a little. Nope. It only got worse. Now that the creature was moving, its tongue was now lathering up and down and all around his cock, adding its dragging movements to all of the other already existing sensations. He was on the verge of losing it. Losing his mind, losing himself, losing his life. It felt like he was actually dying. He always thought the whole ‘death by snu-snu’ thing was just a goofy joke. But here he was, slipping in and out of consciousness with his dick being milked so hard he thought it would look like a wrinkled raisin by the time it finally got freed from this monster’s hungry hole. His eyes began to roll up into his head, slowly accepting his fate. How embarrassing, on the verge of defeat on only his second dungeon experience. But man, what a way to go, huh? If he were to die, he’d pray it to be in his sleep or at the hands of sex. He now believed dying from sex was a real thing and was about to have a story to back it up. Emphasis on ‘about to’. Barely clinging to his life, he’d suddenly feel both the clenching, fleshy squeeze around his girth stripped away along with the Lileep’s weight atop of his body. He remained locked in position for a moment longer before his muscles would relax and he’d collapse onto the ground, the raw torment slowly dulling to a faint, lingering pain. His dick twitched and throbbed in its suffering, coated in a familiar green liquid. Was that its Acid attack? Shouldn’t it have burned him during the blowjob, then? Perhaps Lileep were able to concentrate the properties of their Acid move in different ways? Questions for later. Right now, he just hoped his dick wasn’t broken. He knew it was gonna be stuck at full mast for awhile, kind of a possible side effect to that level of cock torture, it could remain painfully erect for upwards of hours. He’d definitely be resting his dick for the rest of the day. Possibly into tomorrow as well. “Jack! Holy fuck, dude are you alright!?” Pecan rushed over to her partner after having beaten the Lileep into submission. Jack didn’t reply. He couldn’t reply. All that came out of his mouth was a high-pitched squeal. “Yeah, stupid question.” The Emolga carefully pulled the treasure bag from the Pikachu and reached into it, pulling out an Oran Berry. “It’s our only one, but it’ll have to do.” She held the berry over the male’s swollen erection and punctured the berry with her thumb, pushing it deep into the blue flesh. Juices dribbled out of the wound and dripped down over Jack’s cock, the blue fluid quickly seeping into the Pikachu’s dick and beginning its healing magic. “After what you experience, this probably isn’t gonna do much. At best, it’ll speed up the natural healing process. Your cock should soften down after maybe an hour or two. I’d give it a day’s rest afterwards to let it recover and your balls reproduce more cum. Right now, let’s take a short break so you can get the rest of the bad feeling out of your system.” Pecan sighed, sitting next to her partner. She looked at the male; he looked awfully pale and the look of dread in his eyes… “I think it’s safe to say Lileep is off your to-fuck list, huh?” She giggled a little, trying to lighten up the situation. Another high-pitched squeal.” Right, still can’t really talk. Fuck… I’m sorry, Jack. That bastard was clever and he got me good. Really hit me with the blunt of the Acid, took much longer than I’d hoped for it to wear out so I could see again.” She pat his head gently, stroking the chu’s ears and resting his head on her lap. “Pecan...” Jack whined, left ear twitching against the Emolga’s belly. “I don’t like Lileep.” “Yeeeah, they’re not the best Pokemon out there.” She reassured the male, continuing to caress his ears while he recovered. She looked at the Oran Berry she’d punctured and brought it down to Jack’s mouth. “Here, go ahead and eat the rest of it. It’ll get your health back up in a flash.” He opened his mouth and Pecan giggled, happily feeding the male for him. He took a bite of the already juiced berry, catching a bit of lingering essence in his maw along with the flavor. Swallowing it down, he took another, bigger bite, chewing up the flesh and gulping it rather hungrily. “Wow, that’s actually really good.” Jack’s eyes brightened up with life, finishing up the Oran with one last bite. Just as Pecan had said, he felt greatly refreshed, almost brand new if it weren’t for the lingering soreness in his swollen erection. “Whoa… I feel great! Err… well, mostly great. That Oran Berry was really effective.” “Yep! Despite their commonness, Orans are one of the most effective health substances out there that anyone can use and access. So much so that it’s made constant Top 5 on the Dungeon Explorers Recommended List. DERL for short.” “Gosh, there’s a lot about this world that I have to learn if I want to make it and achieve our dream.” Jack sighed and looked over at his partner. “Glad I got you then. You sure know a lot about these mystery dungeons and whatnot.” “Yeppers! You’re a lucky one you met me! Or, I suppose I met you, technically.” Pecan giggled. “Hey, are you feeling better though? Can you walk?” “Ah, yeah.” Jack rose to his feet with ease, “I suppose, like you said, it’ll take a couple hours for this to go down,” He motioned downward to his vein-kissed girth, swollen over a bit unnaturally and occasionally giving a weak throb. “so you can lead the rest of the way, if that’s okay. I don’t wanna… I don’t wanna take any chances.” “No problem, just keep close. You never know if someone might try and ambush from behind. Keep alert and keep your cock safe.” Pecan pat the male and gave him a peck on the cheek before taking his paw in hers and resuming their dungeon crawl. They reached the next staircase with no further issues, advancing deeper into the bluff. Making it down, they struck lucky picking up a few drops of money and a peculiar seed that looked bright and fresh. “Pecan, what’s this seed?” Jack picked it up, looking over the glossy, white seed. “Oh, that’s a Heal Seed!” Pecan informed, examining the seed in the Pikachu’s paw. “The pure white seeds are Heal Seeds which can cure you of any status infliction. They are very backup items, it doesn’t hurt to take at least one with you to a dungeon.” “Huh. Ain’t that something. So there are berries and seeds, eh?” Jack stored away the Heal Seed into their treasure bag. “Mhmm. There’s a few item types that can be utilized in dungeons. Some of the most common types being berries, seeds, orbs, and scarves. We can get into that more later. Right now, we oughta finish up here. I’m sure we’re about done by now, how deep in you think we are? Haven’t been paying attention with… things happening.” Pecan’s ear twitched, giving it an idle scratch. “Err… no clue. But there’s the stairs.” Jack pointed ahead to the room at the end of the corridor. Indeed, the stairs were there, unguarded. Next to them was also a blue colored object. “Oh! An Oran Berry!” Pecan scooped it up, placing it in their treasure bag. “C’mon, we gotta be almost there by now.” Taking her partner’s paw in her own, she led the male down the next flight and deeper into the dungeon. Making it down to the bottom, they found themselves in a straightway path covered by rocks and crag with thick mossy grass grown atop. The occasional smoothed down boulder jutted out from the moss with bits growing on it as well. Ahead of them was a rocky staircase that led to a small fountain. However, that wasn’t quite what caught their attention. Instead, their eyes spotted a glistening pink pearl at the bottom of the staircase. “Jack, look.” Pecan started, the pair now standing in front of the jewel. “You think this is Spoink’s pearl?” “I’d assume so. Let’s grab it and get outta here.” “Wait!” Pecan held out her arm, stopping the chu as he began walking forward. “It could be a trap.” “Uwaa?? When you put it like that… it [i]is[/i] just sitting out in the open. Completely unattended, too. Strange, isn’t it?” Jack tilted his head and began to think. “But… if it [i]were[/i] a trap, wouldn’t we have been ambushed by now?” “Maybe it isn’t an ambush trap. Instead, it may be an environmental trap. It might stop our badges from working and we can’t warp out. Or the ceiling might collapse, or darts could fly from the moss!” “You… have an active imagination.” “I’ve been traveling for a couple years now, Jack. When you’ve seen how much I’ve seen, you find this more natural than playing the optimistic card. Now, what do you suppose we do? You think it really would be safe to just grab it and go?” Pecan bit her lip. Clearly the nerves were beginning to get to her. Jack remained surprisingly calm, however. Perhaps it was his obliviousness to just how dangerous dungeon crawling can be. Or maybe the earlier explanation about dungeons closest to Wigglytuff’s Guild being much easier had him believe that activation traps like this were too advanced for a simple dungeon such as this. Without a word, the chu picked the pearl up from the ground. “JACK!?” Pecan yipped, throwing her paws up before she ducked and covered her head. Jack stared down at her, pearl in paw. “You… definitely seen some shit.” Shaking his head, he gave the Emolga a scratch behind her ears to help calm the panicking female down. “The sex is worth it.” Pulling out his badge and keeping a paw on her, he pressed the gem in its center and activated the warp, teleporting the pair and the obtained jewel out and back to base. “Oohh thank you thank you thank you!!” Spoink bounced gleefully, pearl placed back on his head rightfully where it belongs. “You have no idea how troublesome its been not having my pearl here on my head! I can finally relax and be calm again~” “Well, it wasn’t much trouble at all! We’re happy to help.” Pecan smiled and pulled her partner closer. “Oh, but you haven’t even received your reward yet!” Spoink smiled and bounced toward the pair of electric-types and Chatot standing off to the side. He set down a small container. “Go ahead, open it up! It’s all yours now~” “Well, Jack?” The pair looked to each other before the Pikachu reached forward and opened the lid on the container. Inside were four bottles of vitamins with a red, yellow, orange, or brown cap respectively on each as well as a label with a bar and upwards pointed arrow printed on it. “Eh? Bottles?” Jack tilted his head, pulling one of them out of the box. “Not just bottles. These are vitamins! They’re quite rare and rightfully so; consuming the vitamins inside will permanently power up one of your body’s attributes depending on which vitamins you take! And it looks like they’re all here—Protein, Iron, Calcium, and Zinc!” “Whoa, seriously?!” Jack’s eyes widened as he saw the bottles of performance enhancing drugs in a whole new light. “This is just a thing that exists? You just eat ‘em and ya get stronger just like that?” “Yup! That’s just it!” Spoink chimed in with a little bounce. “That’s not all, though. Look deeper inside~” Eyes back on the container full of their rewards, the two push aside the other three bottles and are surprised to find a collection of Poke beneath. “Th-This is… that’s like… 2000 Poke!” Pecan’s eyes gleamed and sparkled at the sight of quite a sum of money. “This is all for us? Just for retrieving your pearl!?” “Well sure! This is nothing compared to the value of my pearl.” Spoink smiled and bowed. “Thank you once again for bringing it back to me. Be seeing you!” With that, the pig spring turned and bounced his way out of the guild. “Chatot!” Pecan looked up to the bird who’d remained silent until now. “This isn’t… is this all for us to keep?” “Err… weeeeell...” He began, rubbing the back of his head. “It’s not all ours, is it...” “Weeeeeellll...” “Chatot.” “Okay, okay! Hand over the prize money, if you would please.” Pecan groaned but did as requested, placing the collection of coins in the bird’s wings. Shifting through the money, he would then return a couple of coins to them. Pecan’s face drooped in shock and disbelief. Was he serious? Is this really it? “200?! It’s a 90 percent tax fee for working for you guys?!” “ExCUSE me??” Jack looked to the bird, thinking he was merely pranking them. He was waiting for the bird to laugh it off and give them a bigger cut. It never came. “Y-Yeah, I had a feeling this was coming. Yes, the majority of your monetary reward does go to the guild. This goes towards funding the guild’s resources such as exploration tools, larder, and billing. Squawk… It isn’t easy explaining this part, but we hope you understand.” “Yeah, I get it.” Pecan sighed and shook her head. “It’s a bit disappointing, but it’s not the biggest problem. What with all you guys are providing us and such.” She regained her posture and gave the bird a smile and a pat on the back. “You pair are awfully perceptive of our strict policies and rules. There’s much solace to be had in this change of pace~” Chatot chirped and flapped his wings a bit. “It’s getting late now, you two best be off for now. Feel free to mingle a little, take some time to meet your guildmates~!” … “Heeey Bidoooof~” “W-Wuh?” “Bidoooof!” Pecan jumped at the plump little beaver mouse, tackling him to the ground. The oblivious male squeaked from the sudden assault, squirming for mercy under the Emolga’s wrath. “Oh my gosh oh my gosh, you are [i]ADORABLE!![/i]” She squeezed at the male, nuzzling at his body, her tail wagging frantically with glee. “B-By golly, somebody help!” Bidoof wept, flailing and scratching at the floor, desperate to escape this absolute freak stranger nuzzling the life out of him! “HELP!” “Pecan, uhh… I thiiiiink you might wanna ease up your approach.” Jack shook his head, unable to resist a chuckle seeing his partner pepper the beaver down in kisses. “Whaaaat? He’s fiiiiine. Hey, you’re fine, right?” “Guuhh...” Bidoof had slumped and submitted, a faint blush across his face from all the kisses. “I-I don’t get a lot of kisses from girls… duueehehe, maybe you’re friendly, yup yup guehehe~” “See? He likes me!” She lifted Bidoof off his feet, swinging him around and pecking his cheek. “Such a pleasure to meet an adorable fella like you~! I’m Pecan, I’m an Emolga! I come from Mist Continent, have you heard of it before?” “A-Ah gosh, yer talkin’ a bit fast..!” Bidoof squirmed, trying to keep up with the clearly overexcited electric-type. “E-Ermm, nice to meetcha, Pecan! I’m just Bidoof, erm… I don’t really have a nickname or anything, gosh. I’ve seen the Mist Continent on world maps but golly, that’s on the other side of the world, you came all this way to join a guild? Don’t they have any around your home?” “Actually, I didn’t come here originally to join the guild. It just happened by circumstance.” She giggled, stealing a quick kiss to the plump mouse Pokemon’s lips. “See, my partner here—he’s Jack, by the way—he’s kind of a new fella ‘round these parts and don’t really know his way yet. So I figured the best way to discover a new world around you is to find the best way to explore it! And what better way than to be an exploration team~! There’s a whole continent of mystery to be unraveled and I’m gonna show him the way! I still gots lotsa stuff to learn about this place myself, so it’s a trip and a half for the both of us!” [i]She doesn’t know… WHAT?[/i] Jack suddenly felt a light twinge of uncertainty. [i]Ooh. OH she is getting a piece of my mind later.[/i] “Well golly, sounds like y’all got yourselves all set, yup yup! And it really gets me goin’ knowing there’s new rookies here too. I was the newest member here before you two showed up, I’m feelin’ a bit emotional, oh gosh~” Bidoof sniffled, all the happy moods welling up in the happy-go-lucky beaver. “If y’all need to know anything about the guild and the works here, I’m always happy to share what bits of knowledge I got, yeppers!” “Aww Bidoooooof~!” Pecan squealed, squeezing the generous male in an impressive bear hug for a ‘mon her size. “You’re so sweeeet! I think our stay here is gonna be one heck of a grand time with guildmates like you at our side~” “Pecan… you’re embarrassing, y’know that?” What a bundle of moods she was. Though admittedly, he couldn’t ask for a better partner at his side. She was reliable enough, kind, and one hell of a fuck. [i]I wonder what the rule is on bringing guests in the guild…[/i] “Everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting!” All attention went towards the soft, high pitched voice from the far hallway entrance near Croagunk’s peculiar setup. Floating there was a lone Chimecho ringing her… her. “Dinner is finally ready. Everyone please gather at in the Mess Hall and prepare to eat!” With her announcement made, she floated back down the hall, presumably to the Mess Hall. A roaring of cheers sounded around Jack and Pecan. Seems dinnertime was something to be practically celebrated around these parts. The two filed in line among the other members of the guild with Chatot and Wigglytuff even joining them at the table. “Hey Pecan, check it there.” Jack whispered to his ally, the pair sat at the far end of the table away from the entrance. He motioned his head towards the two empty plates sat down opposite of them and the third placed on the other end of the table next to them. “Not a full house. You think maybe some other Pokemon before us came around and quit their training?” “I dunno. It’s possible, but maybe they’re just empty seats. You should always have the spares, never know when a new face will show up.” The Emolga whispered in turn, trying to keep their voices to a minimum so as not to disturb the others who had already began chowing down. “Whatever the case, it’s none of our concern and probably isn’t a big deal. We should eat while we can, it’s been a long day and I’m starving.” “Yeah. Welp, let’s dig in~!” … “Ahh, I’m stuffed!” “Man, that was good!” “I’ll say. Now I’m all tuckered out~” “Yup yup, me too. Good night, everybody!” “Good night!” Pecan threw herself onto her straw and hay bed with a loud sigh of relief. “Hoo! Man, what a day~ Really don’t seem like we did nearly as much as it felt like we did, but I’m worn out and ready to sleep.” “Pssh, says you. I still can’t use my dick for maybe another twelve hours.” Jack slumped and groaned, looking down at his crotch. “That son of a bitch was really gonna suck the soul outta me. Literally!” “Oh relax, even if he did, you just woulda fainted and got warped out the dungeon. You would be fine! I mean… you’d still have a sore dick but ya sure wouldn’t be dead! Mystery Dungeons are… mysterious like that~” “Been getting the rundown about them quite a bit lately, I’m starting to really believe those words.” “Hmm. Yep, and we’re gonna be exploring so many of ‘em. So much to see, so much to do… mmhh so much to suck, so much to fuck~” “Oohh no. I think Imma play it safe tomorrow. As much as I’d love to get a spitroast goin’ with that cute Bidoof, it might best I leave all the sex work to you for now. My dick is precious to me!” Jack huffed, giving his crotch a gentle, protective pat. Pecan giggled at her partner’s concern over himself. “You’re adorable, chu~ But good to play it safe. Apply that knowledge to dungeon crawling and you’re already on your way to being an exploration master. Speaking of, I wonder what Chatot will have in store for us tomorrow? It’s still a bit disappointing knowing that 90 percent of our profits go to the guild, but you know… it isn’t that big a deal when you consider what they’re offering to us completely free of charge. We got food and shelter, a source of exercise and activity with profitable rewards and income. Then again, I suppose technically it isn’t free when you consider that our money is split 10-90 in favor of the guild. But for all they provide us, I think that’s fair. We get to keep all the items rewarded regardless so it ain’t all bad. Yeah… I’m already looking forward to what tomorrow will bring us. It’s so exciting what we’re doing together… I want tomorrow to come already yet it’s hard to sleep with this much excitement for our new lives together as an exploration team! Our dream is slowly coming true, Jack…” [i]Our dream…[/i] Jack stared at the darkened ceiling, running those words through his head repeatedly. [i]Our dream… yeah. The world is waiting for us. There’s nothing but opportunities at every doorstep. It’s exhilarating just to think about. But I think my dream has already come true.[/i] “Hey Jack..? Are you still awake?” Pecan went silent for a moment, awaiting a response. The Pikachu remained quiet, though she continued anyway. “You know, I’ve been talking a lot about my dreams in life and what I want to do with the world around us and such. I know you’ve set to the same goal as me, but there’s more to this journey that you want to discover than just a kingdom of pleasure. You still don’t remember anything about yourself as a human, do you? It must be so much to take in, a whole new life in an unfamiliar world with nothing to your name or being. I know I probably already went through this spiel but it’s really something to think about, you know? Being unable to relate to your situation… but being the one to guide you through this world. You probably still want to discover your previous life, who you were and all. Maybe… this is quite a stretch but perhaps we’ll find some answers to who you were here. It isn’t that farfetched for humans and Pokemon to interact despite this planet being a world entirely of Pokemon. As unlikely the odds are, you won’t know unless you try. And… if nothing comes up then… maybe we can make a new a life and identity for you here and we can live together as a world famous exploration team. I think that sounds pretty awesome, don’t you think?… You’re probably asleep already. I should sleep too, we’ve got another long day ahead of us tomorrow. Good night, Jack. Let’s do our best.”
