#11 of The Munum Region

Hi, I'm back! Just a reminder that I'm still open for story commissions, 15CAD for 1000 words of whatever gay hypno story you'd like to see from me.


The Rekik Pokemon Centre was a professional and welcoming rest area for trainers and their Pokemon, with an attached souvenir shop for tourists. Apart from the artwork on the walls and the designs of the chair cushions, the average tourist wouldn't have noticed that it was any different from any other Pokemon trainer rest area in the world. A welcome respite from a surprisingly punishing battle with his friend.

"Wow, Ash. You weren't kidding about how much your Pokemon had improved."

"Hey, don't sell yourself short, Max. You did really good."

This particular tourist was a young adult brunette with glasses and a green shirt and shorts, an half-closed eye symbol pinned into the chest. Next to him was a slightly taller and leaner brunette wearing a casual Munum outfit with sunglasses and a wide-open eye symbol that quite a few people had a slight double-take on seeing.

When Max had dismounted at the Rekik dock, the first thing Ash had done on reaching him was give him the pin. When asked, Ash explained that Munum communicated through symbols and sigils, and this would indicate that he was with Ash to anyone they met, like a tourist flag.

The second thing he did was challenge Max to a full Pokemon Battle that Ash utterly dominated. All of Max's Pokemon were exhausted, and the young trainers were more than happy to let them rest at the Pokemon Centre.

"Thank you for leaving your Pokemon with us." The 'Joy' at the counter was a Munum native with a pink and white abaya and a sweet smile. Ash still felt compelled to point out the Malifa symbol on his vest and Max's to her, which she nodded. "...Now, our machines take a little longer than most others. May I recommend you check out our souvenir shop in the meantime?"

"Um...sure." Max shrugged as he stepped away, not noticing the note Ash handed to the nurse before he joined him. "Kinda business-focused for a Pokemon Center."

"Hey, it's a tourist town." Ash chuckled. "Besides, I imagine that May would really like something from here."

"Good point. Let's see what they've got."

The souvenir shop had quite a few trinkets on display, ranging from elaborately designed pots to spiral windchimes to bags and jewelry. There were also some lighter Munum clothes like shentis and breezy shirts and vests. The shopkeeper, a young Munumian with a light blue spiral shirt, smiled at the two boys and nodded at the symbol on both their clothes. Ash adjusted his sunglasses as Max stared critically at the items for sale.

After looking Max up and down for a second, Ash picked out a colourful duffel bag from the rack. "I'll take this, please." I'll be needing it soon.

"A good choice." The shopkeep nodded as Ash handed over the money.

"Hmm...these look pretty, but they're kinda expensive..." Max mused as he glanced at a pair of earrings. "Hey Ash, do you have some money on you?"

"Not that much." Ash shrugged as he placed the bag over his shoulder. "Malifa is kinda stingy. But maybe we can get you some sunglasses or something nicer for the heat."

Max rubbed his forehead. "Well yeah, it's pretty hot and bright, but I dunno about buying a whole new outfit for a day trip."

"Perhaps I can interest you in something else? This windchime would make a nice souvenir." The shopkeep presented an elaborate windchime made of shiny plastic. Several glimmering pieces were attached to the spiral device, dangling off the edges.

Max squinted. "No offense, but that looks kinda tacky..."

"None taken. This comes alive with a bit of wind...let me show you." With a pull of a cord at the bottom, the windchime began spinning rapidly, the glimmering pieces spinning around and around too fast for most eyes to track.

From behind Ash's sunglasses, it just looked like a remarkable bright display. But Max was much more...fascinated by the object. "That is...pretty cool..."

Ash turned to look at Max's expression, a little curious as to how this looked from outside. The boy's eyes slowly widened and glazed over slightly, with a calm smile slowly growing on his face. Nothing that would seem out of the ordinary to anyone not actively looking for signs. But Ash could tell that Max was going to be much more suggestible now.

Something about that thought made Ash feel...just a little bit warm. He wasn't sure why.

With a perfectly normal sales voice, the shopkeeper continued speaking. "You know, it'll be extra hot and bright today. You should consider sunglasses and a new outfit."

"Yeah...maybe I should..." Max nodded without taking his eyes off the windchime.

"If you leave your glasses with me, I can get some clip-ons ready. We have change rooms in the back, you can take a look at yourself and see what you should get."

"...Ok..."

The windchime was put away, and Max appeared to blink himself awake. It only looked like it though, as he handed the glasses to the smiling shopkeep. "Yeah, can I use your changerooms? Maybe I can see what will look good on me."

"Sounds good, Max." Normally, someone would have picked out some clothes before they entered the changeroom, but Max wasn't questioning his new train of thought. Ash still made a point of quickly grabbing a small green shenti off the rack, just in case.

The storekeeper showed them to the changerooms, a normal series of brown doors and beige walls, with some discarded clothes being picked up by the Indeedee storehands. They soon found an unoccupied door with the number '9' on it. Max stepped into the changeroom, which was a plain room with a bench, some hooks on the wall, and a full-body mirror.

"Ok, let's see if...oh, thanks Ash." Max automatically took the green cloth from Ash's hands without question. "Let's see how this looks on me..."

The door clicked shut, and the shopkeep leaned into Ash's ear. "Follow me, please."

Ash obeyed, and was guided to a door with a lock and the words 'employees only' on the front. The door was quickly unlocked, and Ash stepped in just behind the shopkeep. After another turn past a normal-looking employee break room, the storekeeper and the slave entered a dark hallway with chairs sandwiched between soundproof dividers. Each chair was labeled with a number, and Ash was guided to the one labeled '9'.

At the owner's instruction, Ash sat down in the chair and looked at the blank wall in front of him. With the press of a button on the wall, the screen opened to show Max's changing room, with the young trainer giving the shenti an odd look.

"Is this a skirt?" Max was muttering, oblivious to the one-way mirror that his friend was watching him through. "Seems kinda dumb..."

"So." The store owner asked, his hand on the control panel. "Vanilla or Swirl?"

Jador had explained what he needed to answer if he got this question. "Swirl."

Another button was pressed, and something in the room caught Max's eye. The boy turned to look in the direction of the mirror, and Ash watched as Max's eyes suddenly widened in bewildered surprise. Before the trainer could respond or protest, spinning colors manifested in his eyes at rapid speed...the mirror must have an enhanced hypnosis screen attached on the other side, or just something that Max could see that Ash couldn't from here.

As he watched Max's slack-jawed surprise give way to empty-headed bliss, his body slumping in utter relaxation, Ash felt himself getting just a little warmer and harder...but only a little.

"Any specific requests?"

Ash took a deep breath and recited Jador's proposal. "He will agree to leave his Pokemon at the overnight resort I recommend when we leave. And Jador Malifa requested that the sunglasses be the...experimental ones."

"I see. I'll get those ready." The control panel was tapped and typed, and Max's eyes darted to and fro. There must've been instructions written on the hypno-screen, and they were quickly burnt into Max's mind.

"Now, anything you want to see from him here and now?"

That question caught Ash off guard. His slave self didn't get to choose matters like this, and his 'normal' self wouldn't want anything from Max...right? His eyes fell on the hypnotized boy, completely at his mercy, and he couldn't help but feel...interested...but still...

"Er...nothing in particular..."

The storekeeper just shrugged and pressed another button. "Well then, I will go ahead and 'ensure a sale'. Enjoy the show."

With that, the shopkeep left, and Ash obediently settled down to watch whatever 'show' had been set up. Max's spinning eyes read whatever new instructions he was being given, his smile never fading.

Eventually, he started moving. The first thing Max did was place the green shenti on the hook on the wall, out of the way. Then the young man began undressing, taking off his jacket and shirt and exposing his bare chest. After placing his shirt on the floor, the hypnotized trainer quickly undid the button on his pants and pushed them down. Max stepped out of his pant legs and stood in the change-room in his tented white underwear, moving his discarded pants beside his shirt. Then, in one fast motion, Max was completely naked.

Ash didn't mind seeing his friend's exposure. Max's body was a lot paler than Ash's, but not overly white, and while his muscles weren't quite as defined and he was a little thicker around the waist, he still looked quite fit. He looked...cute, all things considered. Especially with that mindless smile and those glassy eyes as he set his underwear down next to his shirt and pants.

Once all of Max's clothes were on the floor in front of him, Ash watched as his friend mindlessly took his member in hand and began stroking it, faster and faster, pointing his thickening cock towards his discarded clothes...

Ah. That was how this store guaranteed sales.


"Heh...at least I spilled my drink in a clothes shop, right?" Max was blushing quite furiously underneath his sunglasses as he walked through Rekik in his newly-purchased shenti and green vest.

Ash just nodded along with Pikachu, his duffel bag full of clothes that would need to be washed when they got to their hotel. "Yeah, that was lucky. And that outfit does look good on you."

It seemed like Max's blush got even deeper whenever he looked at his friend, much to Pikachu's amusement. "Th-thanks, Ash."

Dropping off Max's Pokémon at the overnight resort went by quickly enough. Malifa's sigil ensured that 6 fully-rested and completely happy Pokémon would be picked up tomorrow on the way to Max's ship. Now the two boys could take in the sights and do some more souvenir shopping.

There were quite a few scenic vistas of the desert, but Max seemed more interested in looking at Ash than the trucks moving across the glistening sands. It didn't take long to find a good souvenir for May in the market, or to get a good deal...one that Max would thankfully never connect with the salty taste in his mouth.

The day was getting long, though, and they were heading back to the hotel to meet Jador. Max was quite eager to meet Ash's sponsor/friend, and hoped that he could make a good first impression. But just before they arrived, someone unexpected showed up.

"Wakor?" Ash's eyes widened in mild surprise as the dogwalker greeted him just outside the hotel. Pikachu was all but grinning at the sight. "Oh yeah, Max. Wakor was the first person I met in Munum. He works as a dogwalker and part-time city guide."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Wakor. I'm Max." The tourist managed to pull his eyes away from Ash to look at the Munum native with the dog-shaped pendant.

"Nice to meet you too, Max." Wakor was already raising his pendant in front of Max's eyes. "Jador is going to be a little late, so he wants me to give you a present in the meantime."

Ash's eyebrows raised as the pendant started glimmering, Max's eyes glazing over. "Are...dogs allowed in the hotel?"

"Oh, yes. There's a back door for guests with pets."

"What...dogs? I don't see any..." Max murmured as Wakor began guiding the two boys down the alley.

"...There'll be one soon."


The Rekik hotel that Ash had booked was several steps below Malifa's mansion in terms of luxury, not that it made much difference. Marble floors, ivory pillars, silk cushions, and two entrances...one for regular tourists and one for masters and their pets.

"He's adorable." One of the other dogwalkers patted Max on the head, to which the naked young man yipped enthusiastically.

Ash blushed appreciatively, his bag full of unneeded clothes and one pair of glasses and sunglasses. "Thank you... I think so too."

Max, who currently believed that he was the world's happiest Yamper, shook his hips to make his tail wag on hearing his 'walker's' praise. That was what confused Ash...instead of the plug he had received, Max's tail was effectively a rope around his waist with a small piece of fluff on the back. Everything else was the same...collar, leash, even the chastity cage, just that one detail was different.

But Ash wasn't inclined to question it right now. Maybe when Jador arrived at the hotel. In the meantime, Ash couldn't help but enjoy the attention his 'dogwalker' would've gotten during one of the more... enjoyably humiliating moments of his life, giving his hypnotized friend a few headscratches of his own. And judging by the ecstatic grin on his face, Max was having the most fun in his life, even if he didn't completely understand what was going on.

Just then, Ash heard a beep from his pocket and gently tugged the leash. "Ok, Maxie. Let's head up to our hotel room, boy."

"Yamp, Yamp!"

Sure enough, when they took the private elevator and back hallways to the overnight room, Jador was patiently waiting for them. With a broad smile, Jador kneeled down and rubbed Max's smiling face on the cheek.

"So this is the boy that started all this trouble." Jador teased as he undid the leash, letting the trainer turned doggy run into the hotel room. Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder and began roughhousing with the nude boy on top of the plush silk bed. He wasn't Ash, but he'll do for now.

Jador smirked. "So...Did you enjoy watching Max?"

Ash nodded as his nude friend rolled around on the bed yapping. "...Yes, yes I did."

Jador glanced at his slave's waist and smiled. "Excellent. Has anyone... broken him in?"

That particular thought made Ash feel...intense, but he wasn't sure exactly what the feelings were. "N-no, master."

Jador nodded, his smile getting wider. "Of course. Breaking someone in is meant as a sign of ownership and dominance...which is why, before Max heads off tomorrow morning, you are going to break him in."
