The Pokedex Project: The Audition
An intro to a series of shorts I'll be devoting time to between online classes and work. The first chapter is dialogue heavy and a touch light on the furry fun, but I'll be jumping right in with chapter 2!
“Dane?” A woman in a labcoat called out, flinging open a heavy door as she spoke out into the laboratory’s waiting room. From the door, it looked empty, rows of chairs lined up facing a flatscreen that had been turned off for the night. Her steps echoed throughout the room one at a time, looking to each row of chairs bathed in moonlight. She called the name once more, looking to the clipboard at her side before frowning briefly. After the third call, toward the middle of the room she stopped and spun toward the door, catching a darkened figure laying over a number of chairs. She went still, glaring at the figure as she reached at her side, lifting the side of her labcoat to reveal a pair of pokeballs at her waist. The ball fell off of her belt with a click and she lifted it up, holding it close to her chest.
One step at a time she neared forward, tapping the man on the shoulder and he began to groan. He stirred and blinked, rolling onto his back and scratching his chest. Long, thick, black hair spilled into the moonlight over the sides of the chair as he yawned.
“Sir…?” He didn’t make a sound back, taking a deep breath and looking up to her with a gaze of deep green in one eye and amethyst pink in the other. The look almost seemed to pierce her soul, and she stared back for a long while until something suddenly hit her. “Wait…”
The man sat up with a yawn. “Is...is it my turn?” He rubbed his eyes like a child and yawned once more, leaning back lazily in his chair.
“I think you forgot to fill out your last name on your application, Dane?” The woman knelt down, brushing her blond hair out of her eyes with a flick of her wrist. She smiled like an angel in the silvery light.
“Can’t say that I did.” The man reached into his pocket for his wallet and lifted out a laminated card. The front of it had a picture of a moon ball on it with his name at the bottom— Dane. The back had his eye colors, skin color, experience level, hometown, and various other bits of information with his signature at the bottom. “You needed this, right?”
The woman looked over the card, nodding. Everything was fairly standard and filled out just as it was on his application. It only took a few seconds to verify that the information was correct, but she couldn’t help but stare at his signature and the name on his card. She stared intensely at his name, as though a last name would just appear if she stared long enough, but it never did. “Yeah. I guess that’s why you’re just now getting called for your examination.” She stood up and held out a hand. “Dr. Lisa Holmes. You can call me Lisa.”
Dane stood up and shook her hand firmly, looking as respectable as possible for a man found sprawled out in a number of chairs. Only a moment later he broke the illusion, stretching his arms behind himself and groaning. “Yeah? Why’s that?”
Lisa turned away and fastened her pokeball back to her side, motioning him behind her as she started through the room. “Because we thought your information was wrong. We like to give people a reason to be as honest as possible when they fill out applications for us. I’ll have to apologize for your wait, really.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Dane started behind her with a chuckle, pocketing his hands in his jeans looking all around at the spotless room. “I didn’t get very much sleep last night, so it wasn’t too bad minus a distinct lack of pillows.”
“I’ll have the staff get right on that.” Lisa laughed with the voice of an angel, leading Dane through the building at a quickened pace. Most of the rooms were dark and empty, while others had machoke and their trainers stacking boxes together or people in lab coats with friendly-looking pokemon, most of which waved to him. They traveled deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of a building until they seemed to reach its very core, a large clean room with white counters and warm, beige walls. A bed with a flowery pattern sat toward the edge of the room while a table stood in the middle with only two chairs at different ends facing each other.
Lisa made her way into the room and motioned Dane toward the chair closest to the door before taking a seat in the other. She put down the clipboard with a sigh, waiting for Dane to get settled before unloading the clipboard and separating it into two stacks of pages. Once the pages were all set out she shuffled through them and placed Dane’s sheet on top.
“It’s been a fairly long day, so why don’t we get to the point, shall we?” She gave Dane just a moment to glance over his application before looking up to her. “Again, my name is Lisa Holmes, and I am the lead researcher and scientist at Psyball Corporation, or PsyCorp, for short. We hope, with our research, to create a utopic world for both humans and pokemon alike. Last month we sent out a call to all eligible trainers offering the chance to work with us in a number of studies toward one of our biggest goals, allowing trainers and pokemon to enter a legal mateship status together. Is that what you responded to?”
Dane nodded, “yeah, something like that.”
“Good.” Lisa smiled warmly, “I’ve spoken to a few individuals who didn’t clearly know what they were responding to and thought that interspecies relationships aren’t right. So, I just had to be sure. With that said, you were one of several hundred respondents, if you look to your right, you’ll find the applications I’ve rejected after meeting with trainers.”
Once more Dane nodded, but he didn’t bother to look to his side, leaving an uncomfortable silence to fall over them. After a while Lisa’s look to him became an intense, expectant stare. Dane cleared his throat and sheepishly looked to the side. The entire side of the wall was lined with massive clear trashbags filled up with shredded papers. He looked back, a touch unnerved.
“I’m considering 3 females and 4 males. If you’re worth my time, you’ll be considered as well. So, why don’t we begin the evaluation?” For a matter that sounded so serious, Lisa sounded chipper, as she passed Dane back his application, keeping a copy for herself as she pushed away the other papers on the table. She read over his answers and flipped to the second page of the application before nodding. “Ready?”
He looked over the application briefly then nodded, confidently pushing aside the application. “Ready.”
“Good.” Lisa pointed to different parts of the page, but didn’t say a word as she did. She looked like she knew exactly what she was looking for. After a moment she looked up to Dane, directly into his eyes. “It says here that you’ve had sex with pokemon before, your first was a…Mightyena, and you’ve filled out the boxes for other pokemon you’ve had sex with before. Is that correct and do you have any proof of your experience?”
“It is.” He continued. “My best friend and roommate has an absol that I have an ongoing…relationship with. I don’t think that she would mind verifying, if you need.”
Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “You paused. Why?”
Dane lifted a hand as though presenting a topic. “It’s just that my friend doesn’t know. He works long hours, and she doesn’t like to spend long periods of time in her pokeball, so she stays home alone with me sometimes.”
“I see.” Lisa reached into her coat and picked out a pen, jotting down a few notes. “Go on, be as descriptive as possible, please.”
Dane went on to tell the story of his first time with Allie, his best friend’s absol. He mentioned her heat and feeing kind of dumb for knowing about it. The following morning, after he woke up with the usual case of morning wood, one thing led to another and they helped each other relieve their urges. From then on, even when she wasn’t in heat, having sex, just about anywhere, and anytime was normal. They got off in public parks, in his friend’s garage with the entire family home, even near-empty theaters while movies were playing. Lisa didn’t look too surprised, but she certainly hadn’t expected such a straightforward answer. As Dane continued his story, Lisa’s expression shifted from an honest, interested smile to a partial frown in disbelief.
“You made his Absol mega evolve…without a mega stone? That shouldn’t be possible...mega stones are essentially the catalyst for such evolution.”
“Well…” Dane shrugged. “That’s what I thought too, but it makes more sense for a trainer’s and pokemon’s mutual love for each other to cause mega evolution, doesn’t it?”
Lisa thought to herself silently before nodding. “I suppose it’s possible, but you’re certainly the first case I’ve heard of it happening to, and you’re the only person who has applied to have mentioned something like that happening to them. That’s not to say you’re the only human capable of causing mega evolution through such methods of bonding, however, if you’re telling the truth. Truthfully, I’d like to see it happen first-hand.”
Dane raised a brow. “Does that mean I’m hired?”
“Hold on now…” Lisa chuckled. “We can call it an audition. I’d like you and Allie to perform for me and a number of other researchers in this room. We’ll be watching through cameras or a double-sided window, the details aren’t very clear, but I’ll call you and we can confirm them together. If you manage to do this and don’t mind mating with feral pokemon in the wild, I’d say that’s good enough to be employed by us. Sound good?”
Lisa stood up then Dane did as well, holding out his hand. She took it and shook it firmly with a smile. “Whether the mega evolution happens or not, I’d like very much for you to be doing this for Allie’s sake, not ours, understand?”
“I do.” He chuckled. “The last thing this is for me is a paycheck, you know? I just like to bond with pokemon in unconventional ways. If this job gets me that chance, then I’ll take it without a second chance.”
The meeting concluded as Lisa led Dane to the doors of the room then to the front of the building with a grin. “That’s exactly what I like to hear. Keep your pokegear charged, I’ll be staying in touch.”
Dane returned home without another word, trekking back on foot with his hands behind his head as he looked up to the night sky, almost as though he were searching for something. Deep down, he knew that he’d get the job. After all, he shared a profound, feral love with all pokemon, and felt like he connected with them on a level that others couldn’t stand. Then again…it was hard to imagine how many other people probably felt like he did. The answer dripped into the speckled sky, becoming lost in the endless sea of stars. Dane smiled.
The trip back was completely silent, all of the way up to the front door of his shared apartment, which was silent as well. Normally he’d hear the front room’s television, or the loud thump of music, but this time, nothing. He unlocked the door and pushed his way inside, calling out as he did.
“Blake? You in here?”
Immediately after he called out there was a thump, and the sound of claws grazing over loose carpet. Dane stepped inside and closed the door behind him, suddenly grinning after a moment as Allie made her way down a darkened hallway. She picked up speed as she saw him, her tall lashing from side to side as he knelt down, jumping into his arms and pushing him back into the door. She draped her front paws over his shoulders and called out with that sing-song wild Absol call. He embraced her back, running his fingers through her snowy fur and pulling her close.
“Heh, I missed you too, Allie.”
They pulled back at once, remaining nearly body to body as they looked into each other’s eyes. Just as Allie began to lean forward again, something on her collar caught his attention, a small piece of paper taped to the black medallion.
“Hey, what’s this?” As Dane took off her collar, then the note Allie pushed forward and planted a deep one on his lips. She called out into his mouth, taking her tongue to the roof of his mouth as he returned the gesture. He tilted his head to the side, pushing forward ever so slightly. That oh-so familiar taste and the scent that accompanied it was like a warm fire for his heart. She tugged and sank her claws into his shirt, ever-so-slightly running her clothes over his bare skin as she leaned further back.
Dane’s eyes shot open as Absol fell backward, taking him with her until he was on top of her, holding himself up with an arm, her collar in the other hand. He could feel her oncoming lust, and it seemed that she could feel his too. Her legs spread just a little, then wider until he could feel the warmth between her legs. She tugged harder at his shoulders, pulling him close until their bodies were pressed together.
“Ah…Allie…” He opened the note with his only free hand, snug between her warm, furry thighs. It was something about Blake taking an extra shift, but before he could read how much longer he’d be gone, exactly, Allie drew a slow breath.
What came from her mouth next was the most soft, lustful, longing cry he’d ever heard her make. He felt like he knew exactly what she was saying and feeling, a deep thirst that only he could quench.
“A-alright…” Dane picked himself up just enough to pull down his pants. His sizable erection flung upward and precum oozed from the tip. Allie remained stationary for a while, but when his scent, the musk of a human male, her human male, filled the air her eyes rolled back and her mouth hung open. She took another deep breath of his scent before picking herself up, lowering her head and raising her rear high.
“You like that, don’t y—“
She tackled him to the ground, pinning him below her by the door, one paw on each of his shoulders and her hind legs straddling him. He grunted as she looked behind her, slowly lowering her hind legs to run Dane’s cock over herself. Having been to the daycare more than once, she was more than familiar with her way around a male…but there was something different about Dane’s. There was something…special about it.
Dane chuckled, as he watched Allie calculate just how she’d take him. He could feel her sex dripping over his cock, the feel of her affection on his skin.
“Why don’t you let me handle that?” He started to sit up and she yelped ever so softly before looking up to him. Her claws remained on his shoulders, but they dug back into his clothes. She moaned out as he changed their positions ever-so-slightly, his cock throbbing, his heart pounding, and his mind racing. When he finished, she was left gasping for breath, the side of her face against his, letting the sound of his own pants echo through her ears.
“Alright…” He finally spoke, tossing her collar aside. He took her sides into his hands and smiled softly. “I’m all yours.”
Allie nodded, lowering herself awkwardly onto his cock, groping and clenching his length. She fell down as far as she could, gasping out before picking herself up. His cock glistened beneath her and then she fell back down, slowly and surely beginning to ride his cock more and more fluidly. Her mane brushed against her body and her fur rose and fell with her, not missing a single beat as she counted the minutes past.
“S-Sol…” She whimpered against Dane’s cheek as he whispered back, smiling softly. He could feel her oncoming release, and he was sure that she could feel his too, their hearts thumping in unison.
Her voice grew louder and louder, the soft, squish of his pelvis smacking against her sopping fur never sounded so good. Suddenly, Allie’s thighs began to tremble and she clenched her teeth, looking up to the ceiling with a glazed expression. Her wild cry echoed about the apartment and pierced the silence of night as she came, sinking her claws just a touch into Dane’s flesh. Her love juice spilled over his cock and his pelvis, pooling below him as he filled her with his warm, slick and sticky goo. It oozed out as she relaxed against his chest, whispering her name into his ear.
“Ab…sol…”
That was when she began to glow. She gripped Dane tighter and he sank his fingers further into her fur. A breathless gasp initiated the change as the room filled with light and the overwhelming warmth of her compassion. Her heart sped up with the excitement, but only after her transformation, when her wings were spread wide, she sighed out and rested atop Dane’s hardened cock.
“Sol.” She pulled back and placed her paws on Dane’s chest, looking into his eyes. “Absol…”
Dane chuckled leaning forward and placing his lips on hers as he embraced her tight.
“I love you too, Allie.”
><
The audition about a week later, and came and went without a hitch. Everything went as expected and after the session, Lisa and her crew of researchers were left in awe, slightly more at Allie’s mega evolution than the fact that he managed to tire her out. As she rested at his side, Lisa announced her entrance before making her way inside, giving Dane just enough time to cover himself up.
“That was…really something else.” Lisa grinned wider than he thought was possible, stepping up to him and holding out her hand.
Dane shook it, covered in sweat and Allie’s love juice. “Yeah?”
Lisa nodded before kneeling down next to Allie, she scratched her under the chin and Allie smiled softly, laying on her side with her eyes closed. “In fact, I think you’ll be glad to know that we’ve decided to hire you on the spot. Welcome aboard, Dane.”
Still out of breath, Dane managed a small smile, leaning back with a hand on Allie’s side, running his fingers through her lush, sticky fur.
“I’ll have more details for you later, including those of your first assignment, but for now, you and Allie deserve some rest.” Lisa stood up and turned away, leaving the room with a smile still on her face.
Dane wasn’t entirely sure whether she was really just excited for him, or a little turned on herself, but he was positive that it wouldn’t be the last time he’d see her smile like that.
