[center][b]Chapter 4: The Gatekeepers[/b][/center] Morning came sooner than either of the pair of electric-types could hope for, the loud ringing of Loudred’s voice disrupting their peaceful rest. Fortunately, the couple had slept well and were revitalized and ready for the day. “Rrmmh… morning, Jack...” Pecan yawned, doing her morning stretch to keep her body flexible and in tip top shape. “Morning stretches? That’s a first; new routine?” Jack asked, his yawn following the Emolga’s as he eyed the female, enjoying the eye candy before him. Her smooth, flat chest poked outward as she arched her back far, wide hips swaying back and forth in a circular motion, even putting her enticing pussy on full display of the male as she raised and held a leg high in the air at a perfect 180 degree angle. [i]I’m gonna have to see into fucking her like that.[/i] Jack licked his lips at the thought, but now was certainly not the time. And if he were honest with himself, after yesterday’s wild ride with Drowzee, he was definitely ready for a 24-hour break from burying his meat in various holes. “Ah, that’s refreshing on the body~” Pecan sighed happily, popping bones and stretching muscles, all of the morning tension in her body gone like that. “I’m ready to start the day, let’s get going!” … “Let’s make today a great day, everyone!” Chatot finished up the morning song and dance, everyone cheering their hoorays before they were off to do their daily work. As the couple were about to make their way to check the job bulletins, they were stopped by an all too familiar voice. “HEY, YOU TWO!” The voice boomed from across the room, easily catching their attention. “Come here, PLEASE!” “Loudred?” The couple walked over toward the other room exit, seeing Diglett next to the Big Voice Pokemon. “Oh, good morning, Diglett.” “Morning, you two!” He greeted with a smile. Or… at least as much of a ‘smile’ as a Pokemon with no visible mouth could produce. “I’m sorry for this, but I have a favor to ask of you two.” “What’s up, Diglett?” Jack responded with curiosity in his tone. “You see, my dad isn’t able to do his usual task of updating the Job and Outlaw Bulletin Boards so today I’ve been tasked with doing such.” Diglett began and Loudred picked up after. “UNFORTUNATELY, that means there’s NOBODY to do Sentry Duty. And that’s where YOU TWO come in. Today, you’ll be doing SENTRY DUTY.” “Sentry Duty?” Pecan started, tilting her head. “...Oh! Sentry Duty! That’s right, Jack you remember when I first brought you here? Remember the rope grate on the ground in front of the entrance?” “Oooh yeeeaah, that’s right. When we came here, we had to stand over that grate and our footprints were identified before we were allowed in. In fact, if I recall correctly, Diglett had a little trouble identifying my footprint back then.” Jack smirked toward the other pair. “Y-Yeah, I did. But your species is quite uncommon around here so it caught me off guard.” Diglett blushed with embarrassment. “I’m still learning footprints but I’d say I’m good at what I do!” “Oh for sure! I just hope we can match up to your talent. So by the sound of it, we’re just checking footprints, identifying, and the rest is left up to you guys on whether or not they’re allowed?” Pecan questioned, awaiting confirmation. “That’s about RIGHT!” Loudred confirmed with a big smile. “You’ll IDENTIFY the footprint, and I’ll relay that information to BIDOOF, who will then let them in. Now, GET IN THERE, and watch your step. It’s DARK in there!” “Yes sir!” The couple saluted and they were quick into the cave. Not far in, they realized Loudred wasn’t kidding about it being dark, it was pitch black inside! “Good grief, I can’t see an inch in front of my face! Jack, how are you doing?” “No better than you are, is this what it’s like to be a Zubat?” “Wait… up ahead, I see light! We must be close now, let’s get a move on, Loudred’s waiting for us.” The two trudged onward through the dark, using the light ahead as their guide. Soon enough, they arrived at the point, light beaming down from above them, the grate leaving behind a crosshatch of shade. “Have you two MADE it YET?” Loudred called out to the pair from the cave’s entrance. “Yeah, we’re ready! What do we do now?” Pecan called back to the male. “PERFECT! All you do now is WAIT for anyone to step on the GRATE! From there, you’ll identify the Pokemon by FOOTPRINT, so I hope you’re STUDIED UP on feet!” “Wh… their feet?” Jack repeated with a gulp. “I don’t even know what my own damn footprint looks like...” “Don’t worry, Jack. I’ll handle the identifications. You just relay the info to Loudred for me.” Pecan pat the chu’s back with a reassuring smile. “Though, I can’t imagine this job being anything fun. We just sit in this little pit and wait until we see feet shadows.” “Holy shit that’s boring. And how long are we doing this?” “Huh...” Pecan shrugged. “Hey Loudred!” “WHAT?!” “How long we gotta do this job?” “ALL DAY!” “Okay!” Pecan looked over to her partner. “...” “...” “...He said all day--” “YES. I heard him.” Jack groaned and slumped against a wall. “We haven’t even started and I’m bored.” “We can do this, Jack. It’s just today. It’s just today… Jack, are we dying?” “Is this what it feels like when you die? Is this purgatory?” “Jack, we’re dying.” “Pecan, oh my god.” “Jack please.” “This is it. Pecan, we’re dying.” “LOUDRED!” Pecan suddenly outburst in the darkness. “WHAT!?” “I’m bored!” “SORRY, I can’t HELP you there! Make SMALL talk or something!” Loudred shouted back at the pair. “...Pecan.” “Jack.” The Emolga looked over at her partner halfway sprawled out on the smooth earthen floor. “I have an idea, Pecan.” “Jack, no.” “Pecan.” “Jack, I swear.” “Let’s fuck Loudred.” “JACK.” “Fine, fine. Just a suggestion.” “We have a job to do, Jack.” Pecan looked up at he grating. Nothing. “...We’ll have a job to do, Jack. There!” She pointed up as a pair of feet stepped upon the grate. “Finally, some work. Ahem… Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!” “Shit! That’s my queue, uhh… fuck, I didn’t get a script, uhh!… F-Footprint? Whose footprint?” Jack stumbled over his words, trying to recall what he had heard before when he was the one being identified. Pecan took a gander at the tiny, almost diamond-esque shaped feet. She also happened to notice a lot of tummy poked out in the front of the Pokemon and what looked to be a bone shaped shadow above as well. “The footprint is Cubone! The footprint is Cubone!” Pecan announced to her partner who then relayed the information to Loudred who’d effectively finish the job, allowing the Cubone inside. “Heck yeah, we did it, Jack. We got one!” “Yep. And now we wait again.” “...Shit.” Pecan groaned and fell over with a sigh. “Holy hell, we’re really stuck doing this [b]all day.[/b]” “Yeah. I can’t begin to imagine how Diglett manages. He does this all the time.” Jack let his body slide along the smooth rock wall until he was laid out entirely on the ground. “...Hey Pecan.” “Yah?” “This is gonna sound like some cheesy comic book plot but--” “Jack. Don’t you dare--” “There is one way we can pass the time.” “And THERE it is!” Without so much as a second though, the Emolga hopped up and jumped at the male, straddling the Pikachu’s hips and settling her heavy bottom upon his lap. “I’m actually pissed that you played [b]that[/b] card, dude. But you’re fucking right and I hate it.” “I’m not fucking right.” Jack began, a goofy smirk on his face. His sheath was quick to respond to the female’s plump ass pressed upon him, his length stiffening right between those soft cheeks. “Don’t you say it. Don’t you fucking say it, Jack--” “[i]I’m fucking you~[/i]” Jack snorted and broke out in a small laughing fit at the female’s expense. She huffed, appalled at the chu’s absolutely dorky sense of humor and couldn’t help but giggle a bit with him. “You’re a complete dork, you know that?” She chuckled and rubbed at his chest, idly grinding her plump ass into his erection, feeling its twitches and excited throbs. “Only you could make a game out of the most boring situations. I hope you’re proud~” “Hell yeah I’m proud. Cuz at least I ain’t bored anymore!” Jack gave the heavy bottomed Emolga a firm smack upon her left cheek and kneaded his paws into her plump ass cheeks, caressing and digging his digits gently into the soft fur and flesh, spreading those mounds and grazing his erection against her pucker, lathering precum across her tailhole. Pecan meeped, her cheeks flushing red as the Pikachu poked around her backdoor. “Oh my! Gettin’ frisky are we~?” She licked her lips, a lustful purr rumbling in her throat as her own excitement picked up. It wasn’t often she got to do anal, but she most certainly enjoyed some spice in the sex life, branching off the usual vaginal fuck and creampie. “Twas only a matter of time, babe. You thought I wouldn’t indulge in all that ass of yours eventually?” He growled hungrily for her, his hips bucking up against her backside, grinding at that lovely ass, constantly smearing her entrance with pre as he’d push up against her resisting ring. Pecan would groan lowly, pushing back on the male to help him slip the tip through her tight star, his thick cock head managing to pop inside her as he would gasp and she’d grunt from the initial bit of penetration. She would rest there, allowing the male’s throbs to feed preseed into her depths to now lubricate her insides before they would resume, ensuring the horny chu fed a healthy amount of his excitement into her body before she’d start to lower herself further. “Ooohh yeah...f-fuck, I can’t ever get over how [b]big[/b] you are...” Pecan bit her lip, back arching while she sank him into her ass, feeling each new thick inch fill and spread her canal. Jack would grit his teeth, the incredible heat that was her anal cave wrapping around each and every bit of dick that made its way inside her. Her pussy was hot, but this was a whole new level of heat. On top of that, she was noticeably tighter in the ass as well, as to be expected when considering the Emolga’s ratio of vaginal to anal encounters. The compensation for the lack of wetness and natural lubricant was certainly worth the extra prep to get going, her ass felt [b]incredible.[/b] “H-holy shit, Pecan… your ass is somethin’ else...” Jack groaned, his eyes closing and letting her do all the work on him. “E-Eyes open, chuboy...” Pecan gasped, half the male’s meat buried into her bubble butt. She’d start a light stir of her ass, swaying back and forth to stir him about and help coax out more precum and further lube her deeper as more of him filled her backside. “W-We still got a job to do.” “Nnhffuck… o-only job I got right now is making your insides as white as your body.. hooohh goddamn, girl...” Jack’s paws squeezed at the Emolga’s ass, making sure not to push or pull on her to let her maintain the pace of their sex. Pecan kept her glance somewhat upward to make sure she wouldn’t miss any Pokemon stepping over grate. Hopefully she wouldn’t find it a chore to manage her responsibilities with a big dick repurposing her asshole. “Aah.. h-here comes another one, Jack.” Pecan bit her lip and gasped sharply, her big bum settling upon his lap once more. She’d managed to get him all in, feeling so very full of dick and groaning a bit louder than she’d liked. Hopefully neither the ‘mon above nor Loudred heard. “P-Pokemon detected!… Pokemon detected!” “Shiiit...wh-whose footprint? Whose fffuuuckprint…” Jack arched his back, a rather hearty throb inside the female’s ass pressing his length against her walls and causing them to clench in response and momentarily milk the chu. The Pokemon above was tilted forward, seeming to be bent over a bit as if gazing down at them, though they couldn’t see much in the dark cave with their body covering the only light source they would otherwise receive. From Pecan’s point of view, she could see that the Pokemon was very round in shape with short, thin legs going into what seemed like slightly humanoid-ish feet. The body was also a bit larger than what she initially thought it may have been. “Poliwrath..! The footprint is P-Poliwrath!” She shuddered while she ground her hips down into the male throbbing inside her, feeling his precum spurt deep in her body. She’d begin lifting off of him, groaning as his dick left her insides, most of the chu’s 8 inch girth leaving the comfy confines of her hot booty before she’d let gravity drop her with an audible “[b]PAP![/b]” of her ass smacking on his crotch and thighs echoing slightly along with a bit of a sharp moan from the horny electric-type female. Jack sloppily relayed the information to Loudred, barely caring if anyone found them out at this point. They’d only just started and he was already on cloud nine having his dick smothered with fat, tight ass. “C-Compose yourself, Jack… nnhhffuuucking hell, you’re so good...” “Says the one a moaning, cursing wreck...” Jack grunted and couldn’t help but buck up against the female while she rested upon his lap again, the constant clenches stimulating a convulsing grip around his meat sending ripples of pleasure racing up his spine. “Goddammit, your ass is gonna milk me dry…” “So much for that break from sex, huh?” Pecan smirked at the male underneath her and raised her hips again to drop her heavy booty onto the chu, that smack of flesh to flesh sounding with their moans again. “Gah!… L-Like I care when a hottie’s got her ass bouncing on my dick~” Jack groaned, his cock twitching happily, each throb feeding a healthy string of precum into the just as needy Emolga. A paw reached down between the female’s legs to rub at her moist folds, toying with herself and groaning in bliss as two digits buried in her cunt while another pushed upon her engorged clit, circling the swollen, sensitive nub. Her entire form began to violently tremble atop the chu as she’d put herself into an orgasmic state, her hips going into a sudden rut as she’d lift and slam on the Pikachu’s crotch. Jack moaned out from the up in pace, enduring the repeated, powerful slams of fat Emolga ass assaulting his crotch and cock. His eyes rolled back, mouth agape in bliss letting the female have at him as she pleased. “Yeeeah, a-atta girl… ride that dick, take it aaaall~” He groaned, paws still holding her by her luscious bottom, fondling those wobbly, jiggling mounds of fuckable flesh while the female lifted and dropped over and over, smack after smack, sloppy squelches of her fingers plunging through her dripping vaginal canal adding to the sounds of sex. “Jack! S-Someone’s coming..!” Pecan gasped, glancing upward to the skylight again. Her entire body shook violently as she dropped and hilted him inside her ass, a thick spill of juices making a mess of her paws and the Pikachu’s belly, her attention heavily cut as she struggled to focus on the tiny pair of two-prong talons and the big cloud-like shadow above her. “Fffuuuuck, n-no kidding somebody’s cumming alright!” Jack grit his teeth, feeling each muscle in her ass clench and grip on him, the female constricting on his girth while she gushed his tummy with her squirting and drooling honey. “P-Pokemon.. detected! Pokemonnnhffuuck… detected!...” “Whose f-footprint?” Jack grunted, beginning to throb more frequently within Pecan’s ass. He was close, the constant milking and seeing her writhe in ecstasy and cum on his stomach wasn’t helping in trying to hold back the inevitable. “The footprint is… th-the footprint.. aah!” Pecan moaned out, back arched struggling to make words in her state of ecstasy. She could feel his throbs, the constant squirt of precum. He was about to cum! “The footprint i-is Swablu! The footprint...is Swablu..!” Both electric-types groaned out as Jack struggled to relay the information to Loudred who must have certainly been more than aware of what the two were up to by now. “Aah… c-come on in, Swablu! C-Come right inside~!” “Aggh! [b]FUCK!![/b]” Jack howled, his hold on the Emolga’s ass tightening as he began roughly grinding up against the female, an eruption of rich chu milk spilling deep in the milking confines of the horny female’s fat ass. Her body shook as electricity surged in her cheek pouches and into her paw, stimulating her clit and cunt with shocks while feeling the chu spark up inside of her ass, the gal letting off a near-scream as a second orgasm exploded out of her and matted down the chu’s already soaked belly with an even stronger wave of fresh fem cum. Both electric-types shook violently as they rode out their mutual climaxes, Jack bucking and Pecan grinding, both trying to milk out as much pleasure from the other as possible. What felt like forever only to be about a minute’s passing, the two finally came down from their orgasmic highs, the burst of seed and splashing honey calming to drools as the female collapsed atop her partner, the chu draping his arms over the female and planting a soft kiss upon her forehead. “Fucking hell… Pecan...” Jack spoke between gasps and pants, gazing into her eyes. Both ‘mon were a bit matted with sweat from the heat of their sex within the enclosed space raising the temperature around them. “That… hopefully passed… haah… a good chunk of time...” Pecan nuzzled up against the male, a faint blush across her cheeks while the chu brushed his paws along her back, combing his fingers through her soft, damp fur. “Yeah… don’t pass out on me, w-we definitely ain’t fuck the whole day away. We got work to do still.” “I know… just gimme a moment… I fucked myself silly on your dick… mmnhh I can still feel it twitching a little~” She purred, tail wagging while she planted a soft kiss on Jack’s nose. The two rested cuddled up against each other for awhile before Pecan felt the energy returning to her body. Reluctantly, she’d lift off the chu, feeling that fat pole pop out of her ass, leaving the well fucked female gaped and spilling his excessive load out of her flooded behind, leaving trails of chu nut racing down her inner thighs and legs and making considerably sized puddles on the ground. “Heh, hope Diglett doesn’t get pissed at us. Feels like we’re leaving quite a mess in here.” Pecan giggled, feeling just how much seed was leaking out of her backside as she sat back on the other side of the small, circular chamber. “It’s kinda hard to tell just what time it is and how much time passed. The sunlight coming in looks the same no matter what.” “Guess we won’t know ‘til sunset when it becomes obvious, huh?” Jack suggested, sitting back against the wall with a sigh. “Guess so. Well… worst case scenario, we fuck again or something.” … It felt like life itself was moving on when the couple was finally dismissed from the cave and their gatekeeper duty. Both were on the brink of insanity, having fucked a second time over the course of their long boredom and the occasional actually doing a job. They had ended up identifying a total 32 footprints over the course of the entire day and somehow they were more tuckered out from waiting for work than they were from fucking each other senseless to hopefully make time a pointless concept to them until they could be freed from what they would only equate to as some cruel form of solitary confinement with a responsibility. The couple stood before Loudred and Chatot, the electric-types less than presentable as their fur was thoroughly matted with sweat and their crotches especially, plus Pecan’s ass, was matted down with more than just sweat. Surprisingly, Chatot appeared unfazed by their not-so-professional demeanor. “Great work, you two~ Now let’s review your score.” “Score?” “Indeed! Your efforts were recorded by Loudred over the course of your work day. And you two did an exceptionally fantastic job for your first time on Sentry Duty~!” Chatot congratulated the pair with a smile and a wave of his wing. “Of the 32 Pokemon you identified, you stumbled over only 2 of them but still managed to correctly identify their prints, I am truly impressed! You two are deserving of a very fine reward~” Hopping forward, Chatot would place a small collection of items in Pecan’s paws. “WHOA!” Pecan was astonished at what had been placed in her paws. “500 Poke, A Ginseng, a Life Seed, and a Joy Seed!? Is it really okay for us to have these many rewards?” “Why of course! While your work ethic may be… interesting, despite all distractions among each other, you have displayed admirable skill in footprint identification. Good work deserves good praise~!” Chatot smiled at the newest recruits. “Gosh, thanks Chatot!” Pecan placed the items and money in the Treasure Bag for later. “We’ll be needing to stop by Kangaskhan’s to store these away for safe keeping, Jack.” “Ah, I hope you don’t mind putting that off for tomorrow. Dinner will be ready shortly so please come and join us~” Chatot turned and hopped toward the Mess Hall with Loudred going the other way towards the dorm rooms. “Man, we got some really good stuff for just lazing around looking at feet.” “Speaking of, I don’t think I asked before but I think we received a Ginseng when we rescued Azurill, right? What does it do? And for that matter, what’s the Life Seed and Joy Seed?” “Right! Like it was mentioned before, Ginseng are very rare vitamins that will permanently enhance the power of one of your moves when you consume it. Life Seed is an extremely cool item that will permanently raise your vitality, giving you more health. And the Joy Seed is just as mysterious and cool as the others, eating a Joy Seed will give you an incredible boost that will enhance all of your power a little. Like the Ginseng and Life Seed, this boost is also permanent. We definitely don’t wanna lose these items or squander their potential by using them prematurely so we’ll be stopping at Kangaskhan’s first tomorrow morning to put them all away until we want to use them.” “Wow, this world is far different from the world of Pokemon in the video games I remember when I was human.” Jack found himself in amazement that so much mystery actually existed. It was almost like magic! “Oh trust me, there’s a ton of things different from what I’ve read up about the games. Doesn’t it weird you out, though? The humans have actually made video games based on us and our history in the days of humans and Pokemon living together. Now here you are! A Pokemon! On that very planet!” “Frankly, I was already weirded out that they made video games based on the ways of life on another planet that I can only guess is a nearby or neighboring planet if humans did once live here. But hey, what do I know.” Jack shrugged and chuckled a bit. “A fine bit, it seems! Your living as a Pokemon and experiences in our world must be bringing back some of your memories, you seem to be getting more knowledgeable about the differences in relations between humans and Pokemon on the human planet and the Pokemon planet. Maybe you used to play Pokemon games a lot when you were a human?” Pecan tilted her head, becoming more and more intrigued with the clogged drain that is Jack’s memory. “That would explain why I seem to know so much. At this rate, maybe I won’t even need to study on humans and I’ll end up remembering more and more or even get my entire memory back and remember who I was.” “Possibly! Until then, we’ll just keep at our work, we’re doing great so far and really opening the citizens around here to a more free sex life~ Now let’s go get dinner, I’m hungry.” … Rain poured heavily from the sky, lightning striking and thunder booming over Treasure Town. Pecan stood at the window, looking out at the roaring sea and the downpour pelting the earth. “It’s a mess out there tonight. Too bad we’re stuck in here, thunderstorms are great for electric-types.” “That makes sense. I wonder what it would feel like to be struck by lightning in this body?” Jack pondered, laying in his hay bed idly, eyes closed. “Maybe someday. But we’ve got another early morning so we’d best get some sleep.” Pecan suggested, moving from the window to her bed and laying down. The two stayed there, waiting for sleep to overtake them, yet it didn’t seem to come. “...Hey Jack, are you still up?” Pecan started. “Remember when we first started here? Chatot mentioned something. He mentioned time getting out of whack.” [i]Time out of whack?[/i] “I’ve noticed it too. Before we met on the beach, I’d noticed that some places on this continent seem to flow at different paces of time than others. Maybe it’s currently only affecting this continent but...” She went silent for a moment, only the sound of rain hitting the window and the occasional distant roar of thunder could be heard. “I think this problem could possibly spread worldwide. I’ve heard some speak that the Time Gears might be involved in this conundrum.” “Time Gears..?” Jack spoke up softly. “Yeah, they say Time Gears are hidden in secret places around the world. Like a forest… or at a lake in an underground cavern… Some rumors say there’s even a Time Gear hidden deep inside a volcano. At the center of these places, that’s where the Time Gears can be found. They are very important items that even the most hardened of criminals dare not bother. Each Time Gear protects the flow of time in its region.” Thunder roared and lightning illuminated the skies in short bursts above a lush forest full of green and plant life. In the darkness of the pouring storm, a silhouette rushed at breakneck speeds through the woods. “But… what would happen if a Time Gear were removed from its region? I wish I knew… but if I had to guess, the flow of time would be disrupted in that area. Or even worse, time may stop entirely. This is why everyone abides by an unwritten rule to never disturb the Time Gears. Everyone has long been certain that some disaster would surely follow, so no one dares to tamper with them.” The silhouette figure approached a gear shaped item that let off a brilliant glow and seemed to radiate with a temporal essence. It stood before the item, gazing at it with wonder. “Do my eyes deceive me? Could it be..? Yes… this is it! A Time Gear, I’ve finally found one! The first of many, my work has only just begun...”
