#3 of Developing Prints

Chapter 3 of Developing Prints! If you haven't yet, you should definitely read the first two chapters before reading this chapter (the links should be on the left, unless I messed something up).

As with the other two chapters, this was a commission for Jaki-kun, who did the icon.

BUT... Jaki has been surprising me with pictures lately and I wanted to do something to say thanks, so I had this commissioned from Ohmuu! It's slightly spoilery, so when you finish reading go take a look here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15831014/

Edit: Ohmuu gave me permission to upload the picture as part of the submission, so you can now see it at the top of the chapter (but you should still check out the rest of their art too).

Otherwise, thank you again for reading this series! I hope you enjoy this chapter, too!


Cam floated on his back in the warm water. His eyes were closed as he drifted idly with the gentle current. Time held no meaning - he could have been floating for a couple minutes, or several hours, or even a few days - but eventually something bumped into him. He opened his eyes and immediately recognized the grayish area from his dream before. The shore was nice and grassy, but before long the land became hazy and indistinct. He looked further around and saw that more of the lake was visible than he remembered. He could just barely make out the shore surrounding the small body of water, but aside from the area nearest him the rest of the shoreline was indecipherable, and the center of the lake was still fuzzy. The bottom of the lake seemed to be filled in, too - the water was crystal clear and the sandy bottom could be seen easily, with aquatic plants spaced randomly along the lake bottom.

Cam saw a Zigzagoon napping on the visible part of the shore - the same one from the earlier dream - but he ignored her for now and looked at the thing that had bumped into him. He tilted his head and saw a Buizel floating in the water beside him. She was sleeping, but for some reason her expression seemed agitated or worried. Cam thought she might be having a nightmare of some sort - her tails twitched randomly, sending her drifting in different directions, and her paws seemed to grasp at the water.

Something instinctive in Cam urged him to action and he reached towards her arm. He took her paw in his hand, wrapping his fingers around her wet fur, and she immediately calmed. Her tails stilled and her expression became peaceful. Cam smiled and closed his own eyes again.

The two drifted aimlessly over the lake for an unknowable stretch of time. Cam felt relaxed and peaceful, and any concerns he had simply didn't matter.

Eventually a buzzing sound reached Cam's ears. He opened his eyes again, looking for the insect that was flying around and making the noise...

Cam woke to the feel of his warm blankets covering him. He started to roll over and try to go back to sleep but was interrupted by a buzzing sound. Cam wasn't sure what it was at first, but when it repeated a few seconds later he realized it was his phone. He threw off the covers and searched for his pants, finding them crumpled up on the floor, and pulled the phone out from the pocket. He looked at the number and saw it was Dave, his 'agent'. He quickly hit the answer button and held the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Cam! It's Dave!" The voice on the other end sounded cheerful, and Cam imagined Dave was sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee and a fat commission check.

"Hey Dave. How's it going?"

"It's going great! Just wanted to follow up with you about the Buizel thing. The company was thrilled with your work and threw in an extra hundred dollar bonus! Your check is in the mail and you should get it by Monday, latest. The company was so happy with the picture that they want to put it on the product itself, and maybe even use that Buizel on their website. Do you think you could get other shots of her, if they asked?"

Cam thought back to how he had gotten the pictures in the first place and was quite sure he could. He didn't want to tell Dave that though. "Uhh... I probably can; she's a wild Pokemon that lives near here. It shouldn't be too hard to find her again if I need to."

"That's great, that's great. I'll let them know. Do you have any problem with them using your photos outside of the one ad? You sent a few over and I forwarded them all on; they loved a few of them that they didn't use in the magazine and would love to use those too."

"I don't mind. They paid enough for the whole set of them; they're welcome to them."

"Great, great. I'll send you the standard paperwork to fill out for it but they'll be happy to hear that. Uhhh... think that was it... thanks again for taking care of that Cam."

"Oh sure, no problem."

Cam was about to hang up when Dave suddenly spoke up again. "Hey, while I've got you, have you ever taken pictures of fairy types? We're trying to get an ad for a perfume company, and they want to have a Spritzee in it, but we're having problems with the shoot."

"Oh?" Cam was a little curious at the mention of problems. He had run into some trouble with Pokemon before, namely the claw and teeth type of difficulties, but everything he had heard about fairy types said they were friendly if sometimes mischievous.

"Yeah. Everything's fine at first, but the client asked for a 'charming' ad, and when they tell the Spritzee to be charming it does this thing where it gets a little brighter. It does look really charming, but after it does that then the crew wants to change everything around to be pinker and have flowers and be fluffy and cute and stuff. It's like whatever the fairy is doing is putting them in touch with their feminine side, or making them girly, or... something. And that's just the men; the ladies on set have been... errr... well, never mind about what they've been doing. You have any ideas about getting it to stop that? The frilly pictures are nice and all, it's just not what the perfume company wants for this ad, though they do really like the way the Spritzee looks while it's being 'charming' and want to keep that if they can. Ever hear about anything like that, or have any ideas?"

"Umm... other than maybe having the perfume company bottling it, none come to mind. Fairy types are still new to me; I haven't taken many pictures of them yet. It does sound like a move that's affecting the people somehow, but I don't have any idea how to get around it."

There was a sigh from the other end of the line. "Oh well. Thanks anyways."

"No problem." There was a click from the other end and Cam dropped the phone onto the pile of clothes on the floor. He sighed and flopped back down on his bed to take a few more minutes to wake up.

"Cam?" Delta's voice came from the floor by the bed and dragged Cam from his thoughts. "Are you awake?"

Cam sat up in bed, smothering a yawn. "Yeah, I'm up."

"I'm sorry to bug you... I'm just starting to get a little hungry; I was going to go get some food but wanted to let you know first. Since... errr... you know, after last time..."

Cam's mind went back to the morning when he had turned into a Zigzagoon again. "I don't think we'll have to worry about that again. I'm still a mess though... can you wait a little bit? I just want to grab a quick shower and then I'll get some food for the both of us."

Delta replied happily. "Okay! Thanks again."

Cam smiled a little at the Ditto's tone as he pulled himself out of the bed. The sheets were sticky from where... things... had dried into them, so he pulled them off and added them to the pile of dirty clothes. He grabbed some clean clothes from the closet and stepped into the bathroom, turning on the shower. He hadn't been aware of just how dirty his skin felt until the warm water began washing over him.

The photographer showered for about ten minutes, washing his skin and hair. At some point during the shower he woke up enough to realize that the sunlight had been streaming through his bedroom window. That meant he hadn't just had a short nap... or even a long one. It was morning. He must have slept through the rest of the day and the night.

When he finally felt clean he shut off the water and toweled off. He grabbed his clothes and started getting dressed, balancing artfully as he moved out of the bathroom at the same time. He spotted Delta near the door as he pulled on his pants, and waved at the Ditto as he slipped into his shirt. "Good morning! Let's go get some food."

Cam scooped Delta up into his hand and made the journey back to the dining room. He set the Ditto down on the table and walked to the pantry to grab some food for the two of them. The bag of PokeChow still had plenty left, so he grabbed it and a box of cereal. He grabbed some bowls from the cabinet, but the sight of the bowl made Cam suddenly curious. "Hey, Delta... um... where did you sleep, last night?"

The Ditto answered from the table. "Oh! I just went to sleep on the floor. You were pretty tired, and I didn't want to bother you."

That didn't sound very comfortable to Cam, but then he wasn't sure what would be comfortable for a shapeless blob of... whatever made up the Ditto. "Was that comfortable? I can get something else for you to sleep on, if you'd rather. What did you sleep in at the lab?"

"They had a glass cage I couldn't slip through... I just slept on the floor of it. A bowl might be nice, if you have an extra one? The floor was fine, but I just kept worrying I would slide somewhere... I wouldn't have to worry about that with a bowl?"

Cam grabbed a large salad bowl from the cabinet, having already suspected that would be the case. He brought the food over to the table and started dishing out the food before sitting down in his chair to eat. He reached his spoon towards his own bowl but paused when Delta spoke up. "Oh! I'm sorry to impose again, but... do you have a television?"

Cam looked over at the Ditto in confusion. "Um... yeah, there's one in the living room."

"Could we eat there today? I... kind of remember eating breakfast while watching cartoons with somebody a long time ago; I'd like to, if that's okay?" Delta wobbled a little nervously in front of the bowl of PokeChow.

"Oh... sure. This was from before the lab?" Cam started gathering up the bowls, dropping the Ditto in the salad bowl and watching the Pokemon pool on the sloped bottom before taking everything down the long halls that led to the living room.

"I think so... I only just remembered it last night. I can't remember who I was watching cartoons with, but they were funny." Delta wobbled a bit in the bowl as it recounted the memory. "It... might have just been a dream, maybe, but... I'd still like to watch cartoons with you."

Cam grinned. "Sure; some cartoons will be fun. You were probably remembering your trainer... do you remember anything about the person at all? What they were wearing, if they were a boy or a girl, anything? We might be able to find them and find what happened to you."

The Ditto was silent for a little bit before the salad bowl shook a little in Cam's hand. "Sorry... I can't remember anything else. Only that we were laughing a lot."

Delta sounded sad so Cam let it go. "It's okay. We'll find some cartoons to watch, and maybe one of them will jog your memory, but there's no pressure. Just enjoy yourself."

The two came into the living room and Cam set the bowls down on the coffee table before plopping down on the sofa. Delta rose out of the salad bowl and slid over to the bowl of PokeChow while Cam grabbed the remote for the large television that dominated the far wall. He flipped it on, then quickly looked away from the screen, looking back towards the hallway they had just walked out of.

Delta noticed the quick motion. "What's wrong? Is the tv broken?"

The sound from the television began filling the room - a newscast of some sort, but Cam had noticed a Pokemon in the top right corner of the screen. "Sorry... I just noticed a Pokemon on the screen; I didn't want to... you know."

"Oh. Um... I'll let you know when it's gone. Oh, and I've been thinking about that! Why you only transformed from the Buizel and the Zigzagoon."

"Oh?" Cam didn't turn back around, but he was interested.

"Uh-huh! I know this sounds weird, but... I think it was the tongue! Both of the pictures you had showed the Pokemon with its tongue sticking out. I think that might be part of it... you have to see her tongue in order to transform?"

Cam thought about it. "That... doesn't make much sense... but... I guess not much about the situation makes sense, to be honest. I'd rather not test it out, but it's as good an explanation as any I guess."

"Yep! Okay, the picture's gone."

Cam turned back to the television and turned the sound up with the remote before pulling up the guide menu. A reporter droned on about something or other in a bigger city nearby, and Cam ignored her as he looked for cartoons. He had skipped over a few before he paused, something the reporter said having caught his attention. He had DVR service with the television so he left the guide and rewound a little, listening again.

"...and in the southeast area there is still a warning of a sick Ditto believed to be in the forest. Florigenics Inc is advising the Ditto escaped from one of their hospital sites, and while it is not contagious to humans, it is believed to be suffering from a disease that could be harmful to other Dittos. Dittos are not naturally found in this region, but Trainers are advised to avoid the area until the patient is recaptured to avoid infecting their own Pokemon. In other news..."

Cam ignored the reporter again, turning back to Delta, who was wobbling nervously before the empty bowl of food. Cam frowned a little, realizing he had once again missed seeing the Ditto eat, but pushed it aside for now. "That's near here... could that mean you?"

Delta gave a slow wobble. "I think so... I remember seeing that word when I was escaping. It had a symbol, with two flowers twisting around each other."

Cam hadn't heard of the company before, but he imagined two flowers twisting in the shape of a DNA strand would make a good symbol for a company with the name 'Florigenics'. "It sounds like they're still searching for you..." Cam trailed off, not sure what else to say to that.

Delta was just quiet, and Cam realized the Ditto was sad. He couldn't blame it - it was probably scared of being dragged back to the lab and stuffed in a cage again. Cam sat down on the couch and flipped to a cartoon he had spotted in the guide earlier - not one of his favorites, but one he could live with. "Well, they won't find you here! Let's watch some cartoons."

Delta seemed to cheer up a little more, though it seemed forced, at least at first. As the cartoon turned from one into a second, then a third, the Ditto seemed to become happy again, and the two of them were soon giggling at the silliness of the various cartoon shows.

Cam had long since finished his cereal and was watching a silly cartoon about Ponytas. It wasn't really his show - it was clearly meant for young girls - but Delta had been interested so he decided to put up with one episode. It actually wasn't as bad as Cam had expected, and he was _almost_getting into it, when a tone rang out through the house. He looked up, wondering who would be ringing the doorbell, and got to his feet to answer it. "Someone's at the door - I'll be right back."

Cam heard Delta give a distracted "Okay" as he walked towards the front door. He couldn't think who would be coming by - he didn't have much in the way of friends in the area, at least not anymore, and while he lived in a big house it had been longer than Cam had been alive, so the neighbors were used to it and ignored it. In fact, other than the cleaning crew, nobody really came over at all...

Cam mentally kicked himself. Of course - the cleaning team was supposed to come by today. With all that had been going on it had completely slipped his mind. He should have called to cancel the appointment, but it was too late now - he could turn them away at the door, but that was rather rude now that they had come all the way to his house. And it should be okay - he would just warn Delta to stay quiet around them. The team was professional and discreet, and they avoided intruding on Cam while they worked. The eggs in the closet might raise some eyebrows, but he didn't think the visitors would say anything or cause a fuss over them.

He took a deep breath. This would be okay. He walked the rest of the way to the heavy front door and unlatched it before giving it a tug. "Good morning!"

Cam looked out into the morning sunlight, his eyes adjusted, and felt a flutter of panic when his eyes adjusted. It was the cleaning crew - he recognized two of the maids, and the lady who took care of the lightbulbs and general maintenance looked vaguely familiar, as did the man who handled steam cleaning the carpets. There were several faces he didn't recognize, but that was normal - the company tended to rotate their employees through jobs so that they didn't get burned out or into any sloppy habits. But at the back of the group was a Riolu - a blue dog-like Pokemon that stood on two legs and had large floppy ears. This one was dressed in some kind of black uniform and facing back down the driveway away from the door, but that was all Cam made out before he quickly looked away.

One of the maids Cam recognized, Susan, returned his greeting, though she seemed to notice Cam's reaction to the Riolu. "Good morning! It's that time again, Mr. Ishtry; we're here to make sure your house isn't falling apart around you."

Cam smiled back at the familiar joke and gave his habitual reply. "Glad to know it's in such good hands."

Susan grinned, but Cam saw her eyes glance back towards the Riolu. "Is everything okay today?"

Cam nodded, making sure not to look at the Riolu again. "So far so good... is that your Riolu?"

She shook her head. "Actually, no, but he's been a great help. His name is Sammie; he belongs to a trainer who's a good friend of Courtney, and the trainer had to go out of town so she volunteered to keep an eye on the little guy. He's been a great help, actually - he's very quiet and is great at washing windows. And he looks so cute in the butler outfit we found him. Though if it's any problem for you we can leave him in the van, of course, but he's very well trained and shouldn't cause any problems." She looked back towards the pair of white vans parked in the driveway, where all the equipment the crew used was stashed until it was needed.

Cam felt a sense of relief at Susan's statement - or more specifically, her use of the male pronoun. The Riolu wasn't a girl, so there wouldn't be any danger of an accidental transformation. "Oh, no, it's fine. I have a Ditto I'm taking care of for a few days myself; I just didn't expect to see a Pokemon with you today. He's more than welcome, especially if he's so helpful; I wouldn't want to make your job any harder." He gave another pleasant smile back at Susan before looking at the Riolu again.

The short Pokemon was dressed in a neat black tuxedo, complete with a collared white undershirt, a tie, and a pair of white mittens that covered his hands. The Pokemon held his tail down, angled so it seemed almost a continuation of the coat's tail. The blue and black patterns of the Pokemon's fur stood out nicely against the uniform, with even the yellow neck seeming to add to the professional effect. It was hard to make out much of the Pokemon's form beneath the clothes, and he was still facing away from Cam, but he did seem a nice mix of serious and cute to the photographer's eye.

Cam looked away from the Riolu and back to Susan. "I've got some negatives and a few other things in my bedroom closet that need to stay out of the light, so you can just skip that closet today, but otherwise I'll get out of your way so you can get started." Cam leaned to the side of the door and grabbed the spare key from where it rested on a small shelf and handed it over to Susan. "Thanks!"

Susan and the rest of the cleaners smiled back and gave their own polite replies. Cam nodded again before heading back to the living room, falling back down into the comfortable couch cushions. "Sorry about that, Delta. The cleaning crew is here. They shouldn't bother us but they'll be around. If you see any of them, could you do me a favor and not talk to them? Pokemon that can speak are unusual, and it would just raise some questions I don't really know how to answer..."

Delta looked away from the television show and wobbled in a short nod, though it seemed a little disappointed. "Okay... I am a little curious about them but I don't want to cause any trouble for you. Can we keep watching cartoons while they're here?" The Ditto wobbled a little in uncertainty, as if worried Cam would say no.

Cam didn't have anything to do or anywhere to be, and he felt bad enough for asking the Ditto not to talk to the new people. Watching cartoons was as good a way to spend the day as any so he nodded. "Sure."

"Yay! There's about to be a brand new episode of My Little Ponyta on next!" Delta wobbled excitedly before looking back at the television, where a commercial for some kind of sugary cereal played on the screen.

Cam couldn't help but grimace at hearing he would have to watch another episode... but he was glad the Ditto was happy, at least. He got comfortable on the couch and prepared to endure some more of the cartoon. Hopefully there wouldn't be any singing in the next episode...

Cam wasn't sure how much longer he watched cartoons with Delta. The shows just blended together, but in a good way. He was really enjoying not worrying about anything and instead just relaxing with the Ditto. Delta didn't say much, mainly just giggling a little when something funny happened, and Cam found himself laughing along more often than not. Occasionally they would hear somebody working in another room but overall they weren't disturbed.

But eventually the cartoons came to an end. Cam searched through the rest of the channels but all he could find were news programs, talk shows, and reality tv. Neither of them were particularly interested in watching those, so Cam stretched and picked up the Ditto. He looked around to make sure none of the cleaning crew was in earshot before speaking quietly. "That's all the cartoons for now. Are you okay with going back upstairs? My room should have been cleaned already, and we can check the computer for other things to watch."

Delta wobbled in Cam's hand. "Sure!" Cam grabbed the salad bowl from the table and started the journey upstairs to his room, noticing as he did that the Ditto seemed to feel a little warmer. Glancing down at it he saw that it was a brighter gray than usual, and had a perpetual grin on its face. Cam smiled at the sight - Delta was happy, happier than Cam had seen it before. The time watching television had been good for both of them, from the look of things.

Cam came to his bedroom door and pushed it open. He had been right - the room showed obvious signs of cleanliness. The carpet had those 'just vacuumed' lines, the windows were sparkling clean, and the pile of wet clothes had vanished. New sheets covered the bed and the freshly fluffed pillow rested neatly at the top of the bed.

Cam pulled the seat out from the computer and slid into it before turning the computer on. He placed the salad bowl on the computer desk and lowered Delta into it, watching the Ditto pool in the bowl before stretching upwards to see the screen. The computer took its time loading up but eventually came to the desktop. Cam opened up the internet and did a search for My Little Ponyta episodes, then pulled up his e-mail while he waited for that to load.

There were two new messages. One was just spam, but the second was from Dave. It was dated the night before and didn't have anything new that Dave hadn't said in the call earlier this morning.

The call... Cam looked around the room, suddenly remembering his phone. Where had he left it again? He had it when he was in bed, but he couldn't remember what he had done with it after the call from Dave. It wasn't on the computer desk or on the bed. He got up and checked the bathroom but he didn't see it there either.

Cam stood in the doorway to the bathroom and tried to remember what he'd done with the phone. Delta glanced up at him. "What's wrong?"

Cam looked around the room one more time. "I'm trying to remember where I put my phone... I know I had it this morning, but I don't know what I did with it after Dave called."

"Oh! You dropped it in the pile of clothes." Delta wobbled a little in the bowl, its body waving in the general direction of the floor.

Cam looked down at the floor, kneeling down to check under the bed just in case, but the phone wasn't there. "It's not here... one of the cleaners must have grabbed it with the clothes." He got back to his feet and sighed. "I'm going to go look for it - I don't want it to get tossed in the wash. I'll be back in a few minutes?"

"Okay! I'll wait for you before starting the show."

Even though he really didn't care if he missed another episode Cam smiled and ducked out into the hallway, closing the door behind him.

He headed for the laundry room first. A load of clothes was already in the washing machine. Cam dove for the unit and rose the lid, imagining his poor phone submerged under all that water. The machine slowed to a stop, revealing a pool of soapy water and wet clothes. Cam reached a hand in and started feeling around for his phone when a voice spoke up behind him. "Is something wrong?"

Cam pulled his hand back and looked towards the voice, seeing Susan. "Oh! Sorry, I was looking for my phone... I think I left it in some of the clothes, and it might have gotten dropped in the wash?" He looked back at the washing machine just in case it had somehow floated to the top.

Susan walked up to the washing machine and closed it. "Oh, don't worry! Sammie found your phone when he brought the clothes down. He was going to put it back in your room; he probably just got distracted cleaning the other windows on that floor."

"Oh... thanks! It's not that important; I'll just grab it from him." Cam stepped back from the washing machine and headed back upstairs. He peeked into a few rooms until he spotted the Riolu.

Sammie was hard at work cleaning the last dirty window on the far side of the room. There was a great view of the lawn and the forest beyond, with a few clouds scattered in the sky. The Riolu sprayed the window with a glass cleaner he had in a bottle, then used a soft cloth to wipe the window clean. Cam walked over to the window and stood beside the Riolu. "Hi Sammie! Sorry to bother you, but Susan said you had my phone?"

The Riolu didn't look at Cam or turn away from the window. "Luu." He reached into a pocket with his spare paw and produced the phone, holding it back behind him while he continued wiping off the window.

Cam took the phone, a little surprised at how absorbed in his work that Sammie seemed to be. "Uhh... thanks."

"Rio lu lu." Sammie kept right on cleaning before suddenly stopping and taking one last look at the window. Seemingly satisfied, the Riolu started to turn away from the window...

...when there was a sudden loud screech from outside. "Fearrrrr!"

Cam jumped, recognizing the cry of a Fearow, then jumped again when there was a sudden loud THUMP from the window. A Fearow had just tried to fly into the room, instead managing to smack straight into the crystal clear, clean glass. Cam had a moment of shock, realizing he had jumped away from the window and had fallen to the floor in his surprise. He saw the Fearow hanging against the glass for another second or two before it started to slide down the glass, then flap its wings and spring away from the window. There was another distant screech, but it seemed to be fading in the distance - the Fearow was heading away from the house.

Cam started to get to his feet when something bumped into his side. He turned and saw Sammie lying on his stomach, having also fallen from the surprise. His tongue was lolling half out of its mouth, and his eyes seemed unfocused, but the Riolu was clearly coming back to his senses. Cam met the Riolu's eyes and offered it a hand up. "Are you okay?"

The Riolu took Cam's hand and rose back to his feet. He said something else, some variation of the word Riolu, but Cam was distracted. An increasingly familiar feeling had come over him - a sense of dizziness, of his skin turning to jello. He tried to move his arm, but it wouldn't respond. He was dimly aware that the Riolu had walked off behind him, but he didn't have a chance to worry about Sammie just yet. He couldn't move his head anyways. His neck, shoulders, arms... they all dissolved into shapeless goo, soon followed by his arms and legs, and finally the rest of his body.

He was helpless and blind for a second... then his body began to reform. He felt arms and legs again, much more familiar than the limbs of a Buizel or a Zigzagoon, though they still ended in paws instead of hands. His head reappeared, this time with a powerful canine nose and a pair of floppy ears. His new nose itched as furs sprouted across his body, some of them tickling as they brushed over sensitive places.

He felt the sensitive places form, too - the nose was especially sensitive, seeming to feel every breeze that blew over it, but his paws felt almost as tender beneath the growing fur. And of course, there was the sensitive region between his legs... or rather, her legs. The still-unfamiliar tunnel tucked inside her, protected by the equally unfamiliar lips covering it.

The transformation seemed to go faster this time. Maybe it was something about Riolus being more similar to humans, or maybe Cam was just getting 'better' at it... but either way, the process was quickly completed, leaving a confused female Riolu where Cam had been just moments before.

Cam looked around desperately but the Riolu was gone. He - or rather, she - must have left while Cam was transforming. The Riolu had been utterly focused on her tasks so it was no surprise that the 'butler' had left. The door had been left half-open, though as Cam flexed her paws experimentally she came to the conclusion she could have opened the door if she needed to. The cleaning crew was still out there, though, and Cam was naked.

The thought came naturally and it wasn't until a second or two had passed that Cam thought to question it. She was a Pokemon, not a human. She hadn't worried at all about being naked when she was a Zigzagoon or a Buizel. They both had plenty of fur and a tail to cover themselves with, and it wasn't like there had been anything embarrassing to see - she hadn't had a penis or testicles, after all, or anything else to stand out and draw attention. And even though a Riolu looked more human than her previous transformations, there wasn't anything really embarrassing either. She was aware of a pair of sensitive nipples but they were well hidden beneath the black fur on her chest, and she couldn't see her vulva at all unless she spread her legs and moved the blue fur out of the way.

Still, she felt uncomfortably exposed. She would have to walk through a few halls to get back to her room, and there was no telling what Delta had turned into or what personality he had this time - he might have gone wandering around the house looking for her, and if that was the case then Cam would have to search the house too. The idea of running into somebody while she was searching and not be wearing clothes...

The human-turned-Riolu shuddered at the idea and reached for the pile of clothes. The pants wouldn't fit, and the socks and underwear would just be awkward... but the shirt had potential. Cam held it up against her body. It would be a little loose but it should do the job. She pulled it over her head and slipped her arms through, looking down and pulling it to see how far it went. It was baggy but managed to cover up to her knees and conceal her figure. She gathered up the rest of her clothes and peeked out into the hall. The Riolu was out of sight, but there wasn't anyone else around either, so Cam felt safe slipping out and heading back to his bedroom.

Walking as a Riolu was odd. It reminded her of being a Buizel a little, but it was still different. As a Zigzagoon and a Buizel she moved in a completely alien way - Zigzagoon had four legs to keep track of and Buizel had short stumpy feet that were more flippers that grew below her stomach than feet that grew from her legs. The Riolu's structure was very similar to what Cam was used to as a human... but the weight was completely off. The habits and subconscious motions Cam would normally make without a second thought ended up tripping her a few times and causing her to quickly tire out as she stretched muscles in ways they didn't want to go.

Despite the difficulty Cam managed to make it to her bedroom without running into anyone. She was out of breath and very thankful she didn't have to go up any stairs, but she was glad to finally make it to safety. She dropped her clothes and stood on her tiptoes to reach the doorknob, turning it and pushing the door open. She scooped the clothes back up and slipped inside, pushing the door shut behind her.

Cam had started to worry about finding Delta, but her thoughts turned to surprise at the bedroom's appearance. A pink mist covered everything. It crept over the sheets on the bed, floated over the chair and the computer, and covered the floor so thoroughly that Cam couldn't see the carpet anymore. There hadn't been any sign of the mist from the outside of the room, even though it seemed like it would have wafted underneath the crack in the door, but inside everything was tinted pink by it. A strong flowery scent overwhelmed Cam's sense of smell and caused her head to swim with each breath she took. She swayed a little on her feet and decided it would be better to sit down, so she dropped the clothes and climbed into the computer chair.

"Delta? Is... is this you? Are you in here?" She didn't know of any mist Pokemon, but she couldn't think of anything else that would explain the mist in her room.

The sound of something light hitting the floor came from the bathroom. "Yay Cam! I'm in here, just a second!" The overly cheerful and unexpectedly high-pitch voice called out from the bathroom.

Cam tried to find Delta in the bathroom but the angle was wrong and she couldn't see anything. "Okay... um... why is my room filled with pink mist?"

Delta's voice came back from the bathroom. "Your room looked so bland, so I used Misty Terrain! It's so much prettier now!" Cam was about to reply that she liked the way the room looked before, but looking around again she couldn't help but admit that the room was prettier. The pink tint made it feel... softer, somehow, more comfortable and relaxing. Like the floor was made of cotton candy or pretty carnations. Before she could really make up her mind about the new look, Delta bounded out of the bathroom with an excited "Hiiiiii!"

The Ditto had turned into the four legged manifestation of hyperactivity. He had wide blue eyes, pretty bows scattered over his body, ribbon-like tendrils that were constantly waving, white fur that looked like finely grained sugar, continually twitching blue ears surrounded by black fur, black tipped paws that danced in place, and a thin black furred tail that wagged so fast it cleared some of the mist away from the area around him.

Delta was a Sylveon.

Cam had seen Sylveon before, though they had always had pink extremities. In Delta's case the pink fur had been replaced by black fur - the same shade of black fur Cam had seen on Delta's Manectric and Furfrou forms. Before Cam could ask about it Delta's expression changed from super excited to completely shocked. "What... what are you wearing?!"

Delta was looking at Cam's shirt like it had caught fire, so she looked down at it. It was just the brown t-shirt she had been wearing as a human. It was large on her, sure, but it was clean. "It's just my shirt... I didn't want to be walking the halls naked, and it-"

"No! No, no, no! You look... it doesn't do you justice at all! You might as well have just cut holes in a paper bag! You can't see your curves, it doesn't match your eyes at all, it clashes with your fur... off! Off, off, off!"

Cam blinked at the again-bouncing Sylveon before she looked back down at her shirt. Her head was still swimming from the mist, but... Delta was right. The shirt didn't look good on her at all. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed. She was safe in her bedroom now; it wouldn't hurt to take it off.

While she was still thinking the Sylveon hopped forward, still chanting 'Off, off!', and started pulling the shirt off of Cam. The ribbon tendrils slipped underneath and yanked upwards, bringing the shirt over her head and arms before sending it flying somewhere across the room. "There! That awful shirt is off... now we'll find something prettier for you!"

Before Cam could say anything more Delta darted to the closet and started digging through the clothes there. "No... no... this won't do... ugh... no, not at all... this should be burned... tell me you didn't pay for this... no! None of these work at all!" The Sylveon came back out of the closet, his expression one of dissatisfaction, and pranced over to Cam. "There must be something pretty for you to wear in this house! I'm going to go look for it. You stay here and relax; I'll be back before you know it and then you'll look pretty!"

Cam started to protest, to say that it was too dangerous to go out and that if the cleaning crew caught him they would start asking questions, or to say that they needed to make an egg and turn back before somebody came looking for Cam... but before she could say anything the Sylveon leaned up and planted a kiss on her dangling foot. "Mwah!"

Cam felt fluttery and even more light-headed, and the room suddenly seemed to become even prettier. Before she could clear her head enough to say anything the Sylveon had left - the ribbon tendrils easily turned the doorknob and pulled the door shut behind him.

The Riolu was still a little surprised at what had just happened. She sat in the chair and took another look around the bedroom. The pink mist really did make the room nicer. Maybe she should get some pink things for the room to keep a little bit of the effect once this was over. Maybe some sheets for the bed, or change the wallpaper. A nice flower print wallpaper would be good; it would be pretty to look at and bring the softer effect to the walls instead of the floor, so it would feel more like being wrapped in a soft blanket than walking over one.

Cam turned in the chair and turned on the computer. While she was waiting for it to load she hummed a tune and swung her legs back and forth in the chair. Her Riolu body was too short to reach the ground in the chair, and for whatever reason it felt fun. She wasn't really sure what tune she was humming other than that it sounded pretty - she had probably heard the song a long time ago and had it stick in the back of her mind. She kept humming even after the computer finished starting up, but she stopped swinging her legs when she turned her attention to browsing the internet. She idly searched for different patterns of wallpapers on various websites and found a few that she thought looked pretty.

Cam had lost track of time when the door opened again. Delta walked back into the room along with a black garment he held wrapped in two of his tendrils. "Here, here! I had to go through a few rooms but I finally found something that might work. It was stuffed in the back of a closet somewhere, but I think it will fit."

The Sylveon moved to the bed and began laying the clothes out on the bed. Cam turned away from the computer to get a better look at it, only to blush as she realized what she was looking at. It was a French maid outfit, lined with frills along the neck and apron. It looked like it would be a little too big for her, but not by much. It might look okay, especially if she made sure to keep her thin shoulders up.

She blinked and shook her head as she realized she was even thinking about this. "Delta, I... shouldn't we try and do something about... um... this?" She motioned vaguely down at herself in the hope that Delta would understand.

The Sylveon nodded enthusiastically. "I am trying to do something about it! Come, come, try this on! You'll look great in it, I know it. Black goes with everything, and it's slimming, not that you need it, but it'll go great with your blue fur and help bring out your eyes. Come on, put it on!"

Delta bounced back over to Cam and gently grabbed her arm with one of his tendrils, his eyes darting back and forth between her and the bed. She reluctantly allowed herself to be led to the bed, and after a second or two of hesitation she reached for the uniform. It was a single piece with a zipper in the back, and Cam wasn't sure how to put it on at first. She didn't think it would pull over her head the way a shirt normally would, and she turned it around a few times before getting the idea to step into it from behind. She pulled the sleeves up over her arms, then tried to twist her arms around to zip up the back. She fumbled a few times trying to find the zipper until she felt Delta's ribbons push her paws away and zip it up for her.

She looked down at herself, seeing the black skirt puff out around her legs, and started to blush in embarrassment until Delta's voice interrupted her train of thought. "See! You look beautiful! Come see, come see!" Cam felt a ribbon wrap lightly around her arm and give her a tug towards the bathroom.

Cam followed as the Sylveon led her into the bathroom, stopping in front of the mirror. She blushed again, although this time she felt some pride instead of just embarrassment. Delta was right - the Riolu staring back at her was pretty. The floppy ears and slight blush showing through her blue fur just added to the effect. She stared in surprise at how she looked, only to have the effect broken when Delta hopped into view behind her, his ribbons holding combs. "You look so much nicer in this outfit! There's not a man alive who would be able to look away from you!"

Cam blushed harder at that and tried to pull away, but the Sylveon had already started brushing her fur. She stared transfixed into the mirror as Delta expertly groomed her fur, the image becoming more and more beautiful with every brush from the Sylveon. "Your fur looks much better this way... before it looked almost like a guy's style! This way is much more attractive."

Delta turned Cam around, giving her front a close look, then turned her back to the mirror for one more look. Cam became lost in the surprise of her own reflection again while the Sylveon nodded in excitement behind her. "Perfect! You are a dream on two legs! Come with me, come with me, we need to take a picture!"

"Eep!" Cam let out a startled cry as the Sylveon's tendril wrapped around her arm again and pulled her back into the bedroom. Delta led her to stand by the bed before releasing her and running over to the computer desk to grab the digital camera there. He used one ribbon to hold the camera and the other to manipulate the controls, then looked back up at her. "Hmm... move that way a bit, and sit up on the bed."

Cam looked at the bed, uncertainty rising in her again. "Um... I don't know... I don't think a picture would be a good idea..."

Delta gasped, his face getting a horrified expression again. "But... you're so pretty! Why wouldn't you want to have a picture? You have so many other pictures of pretty Pokemon; there should be one of you too!"

Cam shook her head again. "No, it's just, I don't think I'd really want a picture of me... erm... you know, like this..."

The Sylveon's expression somehow managed to get even more shocked, his mouth open in a wide 'O'. "But... but... don't you feel pretty? One day you'll want to look back and be able to remember how nice you looked and all the fun you had, and if you don't have pictures, you won't remember! Come on, let me take some; every woman wants to have beautiful pictures of herself!"

Cam bit her lip, arguing internally. She was having fun, and she did look pretty, but... she wasn't sure she would want to remember this tomorrow...

Before she could say anything else Delta started jumping in place, making Cam feel alarmed about the safety of her digital camera. "Oh! I get it, I get it! It's all this mist! You're worried it will mess up the picture! Don't worry, I'll take care of it with my Fairy Wind!"

The ribbons growing from the Sylveon suddenly began to glow a pinkish-white color and Cam felt a breeze coming from his direction. Visible sparkles filled the air, flowing outwards from the Fairy Pokemon, and though they were very shiny and distracting, Cam noticed that the mist began to flow away as well. After the first few seconds she began to spot the carpeting, then small patches where the mist had faded, then larger chunks... then, just like that, the mist was gone. She felt a little light-headed still, and there was an odd fluttering sensation in her chest, but the mist was gone.

"There! Is that better? Let's take some pictures!"

Cam started to think about it... but the hesitation she had felt before was gone. A chance to show off her body sounded nice, actually, and she was looking forward to the chance to hear the Sylveon tell her she was beautiful again. She smiled back at the Sylveon. "Okay."

"Yay!!" The Sylveon started bouncing again, but his tendrils faded back to their normal colors, and the sparkles in the air faded away. "Let's take some pictures! Up! Up, up, up, sit on the bed!"

Cam giggled a little at Delta's enthusiasm but climbed up to sit on the edge of the bed. She smiled at the camera and prepared herself for the flash of light... but instead Delta shook his head furiously. "No, no, no, no, no! Not like that! Pose a little! You look like you're about to use your computer; show off your figure a little!" The Sylveon set the camera down on the carpet and bounded over to the bed, bringing his tendrils up to prod at the Riolu. "Don't just dangle your legs over the edge like that; hold them to your side, almost like they would be when you're laying down! Don't lay down though; keep your chest up! Oh, and tilt your head to the side a little, like you're about to blow a kiss to the camera. Oh but don't blow a kiss! Rest your arms on your legs, like this..." Delta's ribbons pushed and pulled Cam's arms and legs around until the excited Sylveon had her just the way he wanted, then he ran back to the camera and took another look. "Amazing! You look so beautiful!"

Cam blushed again, feeling a little embarrassed at being moved around like that, and she briefly wondered if that was what Pokemon normally felt like when she posed them for photo shoots. She prepared herself for the camera flash again... but instead Delta spoke up once more. "Though there's just one more thing you need to really bring out the Dazzling Gleam of your beauty." Delta's tendrils started to glow again, and the room around her grew dimmer. She looked down and gasped at what she saw. Her whole body was shining and had glittering sparkles dancing through her fur. It caused the black of her clothes to stand out even more against the blue fur, and even though she was looking at a maid's uniform she felt like a beautiful princess. She smiled, and a flash of light came out from the camera as Delta took a picture of her.

"There we go! Now let's see... what should we do next... Oh, I know! Here, grab the feather duster and stand by the computer!" The glittering effect faded as Delta ran back over towards the computer and started hopping in place again.

Cam looked around on the bed for a feather duster but she didn't see one. She leaned over in case it had fallen on the floor, finally spotting it beneath the bed. It must have been bundled in the uniform when Delta had brought it in and fallen out when he laid it out on the bed. Cam leaned down to pick it up, her floppy Riolu ears hanging upside down as she leaned over the edge, then sat back up. She hopped off the bed and headed over to stand by the computer. She thought about how to stand and finally settled on standing beside the desk with her arms crossed and the feather duster held upwards in front of her.

Delta shook his head again. "Nnnooo... Think pretty! Attractive! That's too boring... imagine you're posing for pictures for your boyfriend! He's going to see a picture from you and you'll just be standing there. That's not what you want, is it? Think of something sexy and attractive!"

Cam looked around the room and tried to think. The fluttery feeling in her stomach had actually seemed to grow after the first picture, and she felt a little surprised by the ideas she came up with for poses. Finally an idea came to her and she stepped over to climb on top of the computer. Standing on it she was much taller than the desk, so she leaned forward and pretended to dust while looking back at the camera coyly.

The Sylveon smiled. "Very nice! You should raise your tail just a little bit higher, and bend forward more, so that you're resting on one paw and dusting with the other."

Cam blushed but smiled more as she followed the suggestions. It felt a little strange - her rump was raised up in the air for the Sylveon to see, and her chest was nearly pressed into the wood of the desk - but it also felt a little good, too, to be showing off and having an interested male watching her. Delta's ribbons glowed again and she saw the glittering over her fur, then there was a flash of light as Delta took another picture, followed by the glittering fading and a happy sound from the Sylveon. "You looked magnificent!"

Cam felt a flush of pride and started to stand back up. She still wasn't used to the Riolu's body, though, and as she tried to stand up she felt one of her paws slip on the top of the computer. She tried to adjust and catch herself, but she overcompensated, and ended up in a spin that carried her off the computer. She hit the chair, sending it rolling, and fell on her butt into the carpeting. She was aware of another thump as the feather duster landed somewhere on the other side of the computer, but she pushed it out of her mind for now.

Delta looked down at her, his ribbons waving about in concern. "Oh no! Are you okay Cam?"

She spent a moment taking stock of herself. Her rump felt a little sore from the landing, but nothing felt broken or seriously injured. The maid uniform hadn't been torn, though after a few seconds she realized that anybody in front of her could look right up the skirt. She blushed as she realized Delta was positioned for exactly that view, but her embarrassment was quickly overshadowed by a sudden warmth. Added to the light-headed and fluttery feelings she had been having since stepping into the bedroom she came up with a very naughty idea.

She looked up at the Sylveon, half-closing her eyes and smiling a little. "I'm fine... come on, take another picture."

Delta blinked in surprise. "Are you sure? Just... like that?"

Cam looked along her body before nodding a little. "You're right... I should sit up a little, like this..." The Riolu rose to a sitting position, though she kept her legs straight out in front of her and spread slightly from the fall. "And I should hold my arms... hmm... like this..." She reached down her legs, gathering up a bit of the skirt in her paws, then spread her arms a little farther apart so that the skirt lifted. She felt a flush of warmth over her cheeks as it sunk in that she had just given Delta a peek between her legs, and that she was about to ask him to take a picture. A flicker of nervousness went through her thoughts, but she was having so much fun... "There. This position makes for a much better picture... don't you think?"

Cam spotted a pink tinge under the white fur on the Sylveon's face as he grew embarrassed. She also spotted pink between the Sylveon's legs as he grew excited. He didn't speak but nodded in reply before his ribbons glowed again. As her fur gleamed she gave the camera a teasing smile, then a flash temporarily blinded her as Delta took another picture.

The gleaming faded from her fur and she let go of the skirt. The material dropped back to hide her again, and she stood up again, straightening her uniform before looking back up at Delta. "So what next - oh, wait, I forgot something!" She rose a paw to cover her mouth as she giggled a little, then walked over to the other side of the computer, facing away from the Sylveon. She bent forward, her tail lifting the skirt just a tiny bit, and grabbed the fallen feather duster. She wiggled her butt a little, the frilly skirt swishing with the motion, before finally straightening and turning back to Delta. "Sorry! I didn't want to leave this on the floor." She smiled and held up the feather duster for him to see. "So... what next?"

The Sylveon was blushing bright enough to clearly see through his sugary fur and he coughed a little. Cam could tell he was nervous - for the first time since she had seen him his tail had stopped wagging entirely. "Actually, what would you like to do?"

Cam tilted her head and stepped away from the computer, the question taking her by surprise. "What do you mean?"

The Sylveon seemed to grow a little bolder and started wagging his tail again. "Oh, it's just that you have the body of a girl right now! An extremely attractive one at that. Has there ever been something you wondered about girls? How they feel when they do certain things, or what it would be like to do one of those things as a woman?"

The Riolu looked down at her paws as she thought about it, blushing even harder. There was _one_thought that entered her mind... but... something about it just felt too wrong. It was one thing to wonder about it, but to tell somebody else, or actually _do_it... She stared down at her paws and shook her head. "There is one thing I've wondered about, but... it's too embarrassing; I can't."

The Sylveon moved up to her and stared up at her eyes, his face pouting and a sparkling in his eyes that made her feel sorry for him. For some reason she also felt the fluttering in her stomach grow even stronger, but she pushed that aside to listen to him. "Aw, come on... I won't tell anybody! It'll just be between you and me."

Cam thought it over again... but this time it didn't seem nearly so embarrassing. In fact it seemed perfectly natural. She looked away from her paws and gave the Sylveon a smile. "Well... okay... but you need to turn over and lie on your back."

Delta blinked. "I have to lie on my back? Why?"

Cam giggled as she realized she had caught the Sylveon off guard. He must have been expecting her to want something else. It was too late now though - she had the idea in mind and she wasn't going to let it go. "'Cause! Come on, do it."

Delta still looked uncertain but he finally relented and rolled over. Cam glanced between his legs and saw the source of the pink she had spotted earlier. His tip had begun to poke out from its sheath, standing out against the sugar-white chest fur, but Cam got the impression it was embarrassed and was trying to hide, so had only come out a teeny bit. She couldn't have that! She would need to make it feel nice and safe, for what she had in mind...

The Riolu moved behind the Sylveon and sank to her knees, then leaned even further forward until her face was right before his legs. She gently gripped the Sylveon's legs with her paws and spread them apart... then right as he lifted his head and started to ask what she was doing, she leaned all the way down and gave the bright pink flesh a soft lick.

Delta let out a gasp at the feeling and whatever he had been about to say was lost in his expression of pleasure. His head sank back down into the carpet, though not before Cam caught a smile forming on his face, and his ever wagging tail froze in place.

She smiled in return and gave him another lick, this time starting over his sheath and running all the way up to the top. The Sylveon had a tapered tip that caused her dog-like tongue to glide off his cock even though she had wanted to give it more attention. Delta shivered beneath her and his shaft extended a little further, so Cam gave another lick, a long one, and this time she stopped before nearing the tip, instead pushing her tongue farther down and wrapping it around the shaft. Delta let out a moan and rewarded Cam by growing fully erect.

Cam finished her lick over the tip and pulled back, examining the Sylveon's erection. The pink flesh stood out glaringly against the pure white fur of his chest and twitched once more while she watched it. It was shorter and thinner than her human penis - probably about four inches long - which was more than fine, considering that she was so much smaller. It was the perfect size for...

Cam let go of the Sylveon's legs and moved a paw to grip the base of his shaft, angling it up just enough for her to slip her mouth over it. She slid all the way down until her mouth was filled with his flesh. She swallowed around it, coating it with saliva and bringing its taste to her tongue. It reminded her of a lollipop flavor, though she couldn't place exactly which one. The Sylveon's scent was strong, too, and though it was musky it still seemed sweeter than she had expected.

Cam felt a thrill go through her when Delta moaned as she slid back up his length. She hovered at the top, flicking her tongue over his tip again, then pushed back downwards. She started a slow rhythm of swallows and bobs, her tongue dancing and teasing the warm flesh, her ears savoring the pleasured sounds coming from the male. She felt the pink flesh pulse and throb from her attentions, felt a sweetish liquid beginning to bead up from the tip of his cock only to be slathered across her tongue and then back against his shaft.

She had daydreamed about blowjobs before, but she had to admit that in those dreams they hadn't been quite like this. She was still having a lot of fun though - the feel of doing something wrong coupled with the delicious groans and pants coming from the Sylveon's throat just turned her on more and more. She felt something soft tease the top of her head, and almost stopped in surprise before she realized the Sylveon had snuck a ribbon back to pat her head. She paused briefly to look around and saw the other three ribbons writhing with his pleasure, each one twitching and curling as if trying to find something to grasp. She sped up her motions, letting a paw drift to fondle the fleshy jewels dangling beneath the shaft, caressing them gently. She moaned around him and sent vibrations through her tongue, drawing out more and more of the liquid. Her bobs grew shorter as the base of his cock began to bulge outwards in a knot too large for her mouth, but her other paw moved up to stroke over it.

All too quickly the Sylveon tensed and cried out, and a jet of warm liquid shot into her throat. She was taken by surprise and started to choke on his seed. She pulled off the shaft and coughed, trying to get her breath, though the Sylveon continued to send jets into the air. Some fell on his own chest, blending in with his fur, and some fell on the Riolu's paw, standing out against the blue fur. One glob of sperm shot from the pulsing tip and headed for the underside of the Sylveon's ribbon, the uncontrollably spazzing appendage catching it as it flew through the air. Cam kept one paw on the Sylveon's balls all through the orgasm, while the other held onto the pulsing member.

Delta's orgasm finally died down, and Cam let go of his spent cock, but the Sylveon kept panting a little while longer. "W-wow... you... you were really good at that. So... how did it feel?"

Cam blushed some more at the thought of what she had just done but she had to admit it. "It felt good. The ending surprised me but... I didn't expect it to feel quite so... exciting."

Delta gave a murr and stretched out on his back. "That was what I thought too. That wasn't what I expected you to do, but I'm not disappointed at all."

Cam looked up towards the Sylveon's head. "Oh? What were you expecting?"

Delta rolled over onto his belly and his tail started wagging again. "I thought you would be curious about your body more than about mine. That's a part of being a woman - confidence! Knowing you're pretty and not being afraid of it. Being comfortable with yourself. You can't really be pleased by a man if you don't know how to please yourself. I just thought I might get to watch you getting comfortable."

Cam was surprised at the idea but it did make some sense. She was a little turned on by what she had done, and Delta wouldn't be able to do anything about it for a bit. She would be stuck as a Riolu either way until Delta was ready again, and just because she had done something else with Delta didn't mean she couldn't go through with his idea now.

The Riolu stretched out on the floor and adjusted the skirt of the maid uniform so that it wasn't caught beneath her. She thought for another second about what she was doing, then closed her eyes and immediately felt more comfortable. She put Delta out of her mind and reached down to her legs. It was the first time she had really just thought about the feelings of her female body, and a little thrill ran through her when her paw brushed through the fur of her thighs.

She lingered over her legs for a moment and enjoyed the new feeling, but eventually her curiosity and arousal pushed her to move further up. Her paw pulled her skirt up a little as she moved up her legs. There was another thrill of sensation when she brushed over a particularly sensitive spot on her inner thigh, but after lingering there for another second or two she continued onwards. Her paw finally reached her crotch and drew a gasp of surprise at the feel of her paw cupping over her nethers. Her fur faded into sensitive puffy skin just before the edges of her slit. She was a little surprised at the noticeable hint of moisture against her paw from her arousal and found herself getting a little more turned on at the thought of it.

She moved her paw experimentally and traced over the unfamiliar but pleasant features of her female body. The puffy lips seemed to curve outwards as her round canine toes traced over them, then curved inwards again as she neared the top, then -

Another gasp came from her lips as she reached a pleasurable spot near the top of her slit. It was like nothing she had felt as a man, or like anything she could remember from her time as a Zigzagoon or a Buizel, and it was raised a little above the surrounding flesh. She pressed down on that spot and shivered at the feeling, then slowly moved her paw in a circular motion around the spot. That must be her clit... if it felt this amazing it was no wonder women made such a big deal of getting attention to it. She abandoned the rest of her explorations and just focused on that spot, moaning at the pleasure it brought her.

The Riolu gradually felt a somewhat familiar pressure growing within her, and she started to move her paw faster, wanting to feel it burst within her. It wasn't the same as the times Delta had drove her to an orgasm but it still felt really nice. She moaned once more, then gasped as the pleasure coming from beneath her paw suddenly turned to a shock. Cam stopped her motions and instinctively covered her slit with her paw to protect it. A shiver ran through her body, though she wasn't sure if it was from the shock she had felt or from stopping. She waited a few seconds before she experimentally poked at her clit again.

It still felt far too sensitive and she retreated from it. She was confused for a moment. She was still very aroused and was near her orgasm, and she knew touches could be too much right after cumming, but she hadn't reached that point yet. She was still aroused, still wanted to touch herself and feel her paw against her, wanted to feel something inside her...

As she recognized that desire she moved away from her clit and down towards the bottom of her slit. She rubbed gently over the lips, spreading them slightly, then carefully pushed one of her toes past her entrance and into her tunnel. This wasn't a new feeling - she had felt it twice before now from Delta - but it was different to be in control of it, and it still felt really good. She explored over the slick walls, but by this point she was just too horny to waste time. She began to move her toe in and out, then slipped a second one inside her, pumping them in and out. Her other paw moved up to her chest and began to clutch at the sensitive nipples beneath the maid uniform, the feel of the fabric and the strength of her grasp adding to the sensations.

She started to masturbate, enjoying the sensations... but she paused when she noticed one of Delta's ribbons waving through the air above her. A sudden idea entered her mind and she pulled her hand away from her breasts. She watched the ribbon wave... then snatched it when it was close. The fine fur covering the ribbon was luxuriously soft, but she could feel firm muscles beneath the softness. Before the Sylveon could react she moved the ribbon to her entrance, her other paw taking it and pushing it inside her.

She couldn't help but moan as Delta reacted in surprise, the ribbon jerking against her paw. In the effort to pull back the ribbon writhed against her walls, thrashing against them and sending tiny bursts of pleasure with each touch from the forked appendage. The ribbon was thin when compared to her toes but her tunnel tried to squeeze around it anyways.

Cam was dimly aware of Delta's expression - the Sylveon's surprise was fading and being replaced by interest and excitement. The ribbon stopped its erratic writhing and instead became controlled, wiggling against the tight walls and stroking deep within her. It was an amazing feeling - it was farther inside her than a finger could reach, but it was more flexible and deliberate than a cock. Cam brought her free paw back up to her breasts, squeezing them again. Her other paw slipped out of her tunnel, going back to her tease her clit, finding it wasn't as oversensitive this time.

She laid her head back and moaned at the combined feelings. This was different from the other times - aside from the ribbon within her, she was setting the pace. She could enjoy the sensations, she could really learn what felt good, what was too much, what wasn't enough. She was able to enjoy the feel of her own nethers growing wetter with each passing moment. It was a strange feeling - it was different from growing hard, but still carried a sense of warmth and satisfaction in its own way. She felt her pleasure growing and she increased the pace of her motions, rubbing faster against her clit.

The ribbon inside her continued its work, twisting and sliding inside her. It felt almost like it was searching for something... the end would arch upwards to rub against the top of her tunnel as if feeling around for something. Delta's voice suddenly interrupted her train of thought. "You look so sexy like this... if only you could see yourself. Oh! You can!"

Cam blinked at a sudden flash of light. What... had Delta just taken a picture of her? Like this?

She blushed and started to stop, but Cam's ribbon suddenly found what it was searching for - a rougher patch of flesh in her tunnel, just under where her finger was pressing down on her clit. The ribbon squirmed around then rubbed at the spot, dragging along it back towards her entrance. It was a strange feeling - good, but a different feeling from the rest of her tunnel. "You should arch your back a little more... it'll make your breasts stand out more. Guys love seeing that..."

Cam couldn't help but follow the Sylveon's instructions, her back rising from the ground, her breast pressing against the paw that was still groping at it. There was another flash of light, followed by the ribbon curling against that same spot, making a 'come here' motion that sent shivers down Cam's spine. "Good girl..."

Cam could only reply with another moan as the Sylveon continued to stroke and massage that spot. Her paws continued their work, picking up their pace as her pleasure increased. It was a new feeling, the usual warmth and pleasure combining with a strange pressure, as if she needed to pee. She opened her mouth to say something but she felt a ribbon tap against her lips. "Shhh... just relax and enjoy it. Enjoy being a woman."

She whined at the command and moved the paw over her clit even faster. Her moans became louder and more frequent as she got closer and closer, finally cresting into a cry of bliss as the pressure broke. She pressed down on her clit as hard as she could, dimly aware of her walls clenching and pulling at the intruding ribbon, and she shivered uncontrollably at the feeling.

It was amazing - different from the orgasms she had felt before. Instead of a wave radiating out from her pussy, she instead felt as if her whole body was almost on fire with pleasure, the feeling coming from everywhere at once. It was powerful, stronger than the orgasms Delta had drawn from her before, and she felt her body writhing uncontrollably from the feeling. Her tunnel squeezed down harder than she believed possible and she heard a faint squelching sound, dimly realizing her contractions had squeezed her juices out around the ribbon, squirting them into the carpet beneath her. She didn't care about that at all, though - the feelings were just too wonderful.

The feeling went on for what felt like hours, Delta's ribbon still writhing within her, causing her orgasm to peak again just as it started to fade... only to repeat again, and again. She lost count of how many orgasms she had... but at long last, her endless string of orgasms began to end. She was panting heavily, her mouth dry and raw from her cries of pleasure, when the ribbon finally pulled out of her. She opened her eyes and looked at the tendril, noticing the shine from her own juices added to the white spots from Delta's earlier cum. That soft fur must have stroked over every inch of her pussy. It waved in the air before her as if taunting her with the knowledge of what it had just done.

She felt another flutter of arousal at the sight and had a sudden strange desire. She leaned upwards towards the tendril and licked at it, gathering the mixed fluids onto her tongue. There was a taste she could only describe as tangy with hints of the sugary musk flavor she had tasted when she had licked Delta. The two made for an interesting mix in her mouth, and she gave it another lick, trying to decide if she liked the taste as well as clean the dark fur.

A voice spoke up from beneath her. "That was hot. Are you sure you haven't masturbated before? Maybe when I found you as a Zigzagoon the second time?"

Cam blushed and looked down, suddenly feeling very self-conscious now that her arousal had faded into satisfaction. The Sylveon was staring up at her, his eyes locked on the ribbon she was licking. She quickly reached down with both paws and pressed the skirt down over her pussy, bringing her legs together, though after a few seconds she realized he had already gotten excellent pictures of her while she was masturbating. She started to deny that she had done anything like that, but a sudden shudder ran through her body, followed by a second and a third.

She gasped as the next shudder brought a pulse of pain from her tunnel, followed by the sensation of something much too large stretching wide the walls at the top. It had to be an egg, like when she was a Zigzagoon... but how? She hadn't actually had sex with Delta yet, and it wasn't possible to get pregnant from a blowjob...

Another shudder went through her and the egg pushed farther down her passage. Delta rose to his feet and looked at her in confusion. "What is it? Are you okay?"

She tried to answer but was interrupted by another contraction that forced the egg a little farther down. It still seemed to have so far to go. Her paws moved up to rest over her belly, pressing slightly against the pain radiating from beneath her skin. She caught a glimpse of her paws and saw the white spots still staining her fur, noticing some on the rounded toes. Could that be it? The ribbon had caught some of the Sylveon's cum and rubbed it into her pussy; did Delta's sperm get into her that way? It seemed so unlikely and impossible... but another contraction made the egg stretch her even wider and her thoughts were derailed by the pain.

The entire birth couldn't have taken more than a minute, even though it felt like longer to Cam, but finally the wide part of the egg passed beyond her lower lips. The rest slid out easily as her strained walls tried to press back into shape and squeezed the top of the egg. She heard a soft thump as it fell to the ground, the fall cushioned by the skirt of her maid uniform and the carpet beneath her.

She panted from the exertion, feeling suddenly very tired. Delta seemed completely surprised by the egg. "That's... oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were laying an egg! I would have helped, ack, I had planned to return the favor and lick you during it, I've heard that helps sometimes and... and... blurgle..."

Delta's voice broke off suddenly. Cam felt her body wobble, then dissolve, as she returned to a ditto-like form, then grew back into her - his - human body. The maid uniform and the new egg rested on the floor beneath him, along with a spot made wet by a Riolu's orgasm, and he felt his cheeks grow red as he thought back over what had happened. Strangely enough he didn't seem ashamed or confused this time - in fact, aside from feeling light headed and having a fluttering feeling in his stomach, he only felt... satisfied. He lay down on the carpet, naked and not caring, and just rested happily.

Being a girl, being a Pokemon... it hadn't been that strange, or weird, or awkward. Whatever Delta had done, Cam felt a lot more comfortable with the idea of being in a girl's body for a little bit. In fact, maybe some good could come out of the situation after all...

Cam smiled happily to Susan. "Everything looks great - you guys did a wonderful job, as usual." He filled out most of the check, signing it, but he paused before filling out the amount. "I did want to ask you something though, about that Riolu."

"Oh - was he a nuisance? He was so well behaved at all the other jobs, so we didn't think he would cause any problems, but if he did then I will make sure to-"

Cam shook his head and interrupted. "No, no, it's nothing like that. He seemed very well behaved, actually." The only problem was that they thought Sammie was a guy instead of a girl. Cam wasn't even sure the Pokemon's own trainer knew - the misunderstanding had to have come from someone and with a name like Sammie, Cam couldn't be sure what the trainer thought the Riolu was. "It's just... well, you know I'm a photographer of Pokemon, and she - er, he - was a cute little guy, especially in that butler uniform. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind leaving him here for the night so I can take a few pictures. I'll take good care of him, and I can bring him back to you tomorrow. I'll even throw in an extra hundred dollars for letting me use him for pictures. They won't be used for any magazines or anything; I just would like a few pictures of a Riolu for my own collection."

Susan hesitated, obviously wanting to say yes. "I'll need to check with Courtney, but I don't think that would be any problem... he did seem to enjoy being here, and if you're inviting him to stay I don't see why it would be any problem. I'll go check for you."

"Thanks!" Cam waited in his chair by the dining room table while she went outside to check.

After a few minutes Susan returned with Sammie, the Riolu still looking very neat and proper in her miniature tuxedo. "It should be fine! She said you could actually hold onto him for longer if you wanted to - his trainer won't be back until the end of the week anyways, and she admitted she was a little worried she wasn't taking good enough care of him since she doesn't really deal with Pokemon very much. She said she'd be much more comfortable knowing you were taking care of him, since you've dealt with so many different kinds."

Cam couldn't help but agree that he would take much better care of the female Riolu, but he just smiled and stayed polite. "Great! I'll hold onto him for a few days and then bring him by your office on Friday?"

"Oh, we can come back and pick him up for you; you don't need to come to us." Susan smiled politely at Cam.

Cam finished filling out the check and tore it out of his checkbook before handing it over. He knew she was just being polite and professional - it would be easier for them if Cam dropped the Riolu off, but they couldn't be seen to impose on a client. It was no trouble for Cam, though, and it would give him some more time with the poor Pokemon, but more importantly it would remove the risk of somebody interrupting something awkward. "Nah, don't worry about it. I need to go into town soon anyways, and it'll give me a chance to get some pictures of him around town too."

Susan took the check and nodded. "Okay. We'll see you in a few days then." She looked down at Sammie and gave her a pat on her head. "You have fun, but be good!"

The Riolu nodded and gave a happy sounding "Rio!" It was the most Cam had heard from the Pokemon and the most expression he had seen. Susan smiled again and left through the door to the yard, giving Cam a wave goodbye on her way out.

Cam returned the wave and shut the door behind him, then pulled out of his pocket a picture of a Riolu in a maid uniform, stretched out on the floor with her paws... well, the important part was that even though her eyes were hazy with pleasure, she was looking at the camera with her tongue lolling out of her mouth.

Cam knelt down and smiled at the Riolu. "Hi there! My name is Cam - it's nice to meet you again. You can take that tuxedo off if you want; I know you're really female. I want you to meet a friend of mine. He's a Sylveon, and he wants to help you feel more like a woman. But first I need to do something that's going to seem a little strange."

The Riolu's eyes lit up at what Cam said, surprised and hopeful expressions mixing over her face, giving Cam the impression she was tired of everybody mistaking her for a male. But she looked at Cam in confusion at his last statement. "Lu?"

Cam just smiled and looked down at his picture, staring into the eyes of the Riolu there. "Don't worry! It won't hurt you at all..."

Status Update - Report 144

We have still been unable to locate Subject Delta.

Subject Echo's transformation was completed successfully. He - or rather, she - went through the process without pain and is now a Lapras. The refinements to the serum have resulted in several surprises. Unlike Subject Charlie, Subject Echo seems to have no memory of her past life - she does not recognize old coworkers or friends, nor does she recognize old personal possessions. We are unable to confirm this but the researchers believe she does not even realize she was once human.

This is useful information in regards to the serum's capabilities, but ultimately is useless in the overall scheme of the Project. We will begin testing later today.
