Luminous Dance
Lucas goes to watch a dance with hopes for a little something more. He's quite pleased with how much more.
Hope any readers will enjoy this, just a little something for me while I work on life and other projects.
“Are you sure it’s safe to go out there on your own?” My mother asked for the fifth time today. The concern on her voice was obvious, if repetitive, and I gave her the same answer I had for the last few hours.
“Everything is going to be fine mom, I’ve done this trip four times already remember? With any luck I’ll even come back with a Pokémon this time.” The look of doubt remained on her face, but she was placated by my answer for the time being.
“Okay, I just want to make sure nothing will happen to you. Maybe we could call a Ranger to…”
“Mother…” I sighed exasperatedly.
“Fine, have it your way Lucas. Just promise me you’ll be safe?”
“Of course I’ll be safe, you have nothing to worry about.” With that the two of us hugged before she finally let me go on my way. In truth we had both known I was going back into the woods no matter what she said, my mind having been made up for the last month.
I checked my bag one last time as I began walking away from the house that had been my home for the last seventeen years. Everything within it was as neatly arranged as the black locks of hair on my head, neatness and tidiness having been something my mom had worked into me since I was a kid. Those brown eyes of her caught everything, and my own had soon taken up her observational skills. The only reason this trip had even a chance of being successful was because of what she taught me.
As I checked and returned the two flashlights to their place beside the jars of honey I had bought, I couldn’t stop a small smile from forming. Hopefully this would be my big break into my dream job. For as many years as I could remember, I had always wanted to be a Pokémon Photographer. While I had no delusions of being a big shot running my own documentaries, the biggest joy was just the scenery and majesty that could be caught simply by being at the right place. Of course getting a high quality shot took a lot of skill, patience, and luck. My discovery two years ago lead me to believe I had at least a bit of those qualities however.
It had been a camping trip sponsored by our small town of Verdanturf. A simple exercise to get future trainers used to what it was like to travel out to the many routes in Hoenn. It had been humid, as Hoenn always was, and rather difficult for most of the children there. I always had kept the notion in my head that I’d be a natural at traveling across the region, but that was shattered on my first day. My legs had complained the entire way and we had to take quite a few breaks so that the younger kids could rest. That trip was in fact why I had waited until eighteen for my own journey, and let’s just say that a lot of leg exercises found their way into my daily routine. No longer did it surprise me to see how fit the many trainers that came to town were, hours of marching through grassy routes and hiking up perilous mountains had to be quite the workout. Yet it had been during one of those breaks that I had made my discovery.
Route 117, or the Breeding Route as it was unofficially known to many trainers, was one of the few places you could find wild Illumise and Volbeat in any real quantity. It had been on that camping trip, when most of us wandered out to the various locations the route had to offer, that I had saw the dance they performed in the night sky. Illumise were known to conduct dances of large coordinated patterns, the Volbeat following their instructions to the letter. The sight of hundreds of glowing lights shimmering through the sky had been beautiful, and I was in just the right location to watch the conductors at work. There I had learned many things about the species’ dance.
The first was that only females of breeding age were allowed to conduct a dance, though not all of them did. The order that they picked seemed to be random to me, though I could not delude myself into thinking that I just knew everything about their mating ritual. Each would get a few minutes to commune with the Volbeat before starting their dance.
The second thing I learned was that the dance was a two way performance. The more desirable females were those that could weave the Volbeat through the air the most magnificently. Through a combination of buzzes and pheromones, they instructed their more numerous male counterparts and the most skilled were the ones pined after the most. After the light show however came the second dance, the lesser known one. The giant light show was done in the sky, but the next occurred much closer to the ground. There it was the time for the males to dance themselves in order to impress the females. The best dancer, chosen by the Illumise, would be the one that they selected as a mate for the year… maybe even life. Some of the Illumise didn’t coordinate dances and just watched or communed with the others of their gender, a few Volbeat hovering closer to a select few females. I wasn’t sure if the arrangements were permanent, but I could assume so since they danced together at the end of the proceedings.
The third and final thing that I learned was that they separated to mate afterwards. The females would drift off with their chosen male after the dancing had finished for the night. The nonchosen bugs would either fly off or work for the attention of an untaken female, those that did not feel like coordinating a dance but were also not taken. Only then was the dance concluded, and I had gotten to bear witness to all of it.
The sight had been one that I had traveled to see again the year after wards, a few of my trips specifically to figure out where they would perform. This year I was here to watch once more, though a camera was going to accompany me. Well, that wasn’t exactly the truth, I had tried to snap an image of them long before today. However, bright lights across the night sky were particularly hard to record. Now a new lens was attached to my camera, one that could handle the dancing lights in the darkness. A stronger light was also attached to my camera in order to increase the visibility of the shots, and reduce their graininess. My preparations were completed, and soon I would be hopefully rewarded with a few dazzling shots to add to my portfolio.
Another nervous check was done with my equipment as I traveled to the location. Already on the route, I could see many trainers and visitors coming into the area. It was something I expected of course, many people loved to see the dazzling dances in person. The shining into the night sky was what the species was known for after all, and I knew that I was not the only person interested in it. However, I was in a unique position to have stumbled upon the follow-up dance, when the dazzling light show that attracted us humans was long over. Hopefully this second dance, the one most people were not privy to, would be engaging enough to draw their attention once revealed.
So, while all of the other people got ready with chairs and tents, I slipped around them and began to head into the more wild looking parts of the route. Thick trees obscured my vision of the sky in many places, and the growling of Pokémon was rather scary. However, I was used to these sounds after the many trips I took beforehand. It took a few hours, and the light was quickly fading, but eventually I reached my desired location. I knew it was the right place, evident by the fact that there were already a few Illumise here and aided with the scene of the Volbeat who were beginning to stream in. I quickly began my set up, not wanting to be caught unprepared. My shirt was quickly removed so that I could lather myself in honey, the sticky liquid cold against my skin. I had learned before that the smell of human could be unsettling in a way to the Illumise that were used to being alone with the Volbeat. Hopefully this honey would do the trick. My smell concealed, I put my shirt back on and placed my camera and tripod down. By this time I had a companion, a Roselia, sitting near me on a stump. It had never occurred to me that maybe other Pokémon enjoyed to watch the dance. I waved at the small rose Pokémon who made a point of at least acknowledging me with a questioning look, the Pokémon probably wondering why I was smeared with honey. I had quite a few reasons.
I did not have to wait for too long for the event to start, Volbeat quickly trickling into the clearing as the Illumise began to talk with each other. Every moment was quietly immortalized with a flash of the shutter. From the meeting of the Illumise as they set their order to the gathering and grouping of the Volbeat, everything that could be used for my future endeavors was taken. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was all organized, soon over two hundred bugs were gathered and sorted. I briefly wondered if their ability to signal with lights, buzzes, and pheromones was the source of their efficiency. A quick and silly mental image flashed through my head, one of people with flashlights signaling each other in a store to communicate. The ludicrous thought was quickly pushed from my mind however as the ceremony began.
The moment the first Conductor flew forward, fifty Volbeat followed after her. A quiet buzzing sound echoed from her before the Volbeat all shot upward into the sky. The last vestiges of light, faded across the horizon just as their lights began to flicker to life in the newly made night sky. Almost as if welcoming the night, the Volbeat followed in tandem to the motions of the Illumise who floated up with them. Shimmering lights danced in spinning circular patterns that were almost hypnotic, the bug types flickering their lights in waves to draw attention to their more detailed patterns being woven into their spheres. Soon a double helix of Volbeat flew from the reserves down below, basking the Conductor in their yellow glow before they broke off to form smaller circles within the existing ones. The inner circle spun more quickly as their formation went counter to the spin of the first group, as if to draw focus to their oscillating patterns. Soon I found myself enchanted by the spinning wheels of light before they all flickered off for a moment, the night sky taking a slight reprieve before the Pokémon all revealed their luminous glow once more. Like fireworks, the new intensity could be felt as the buzzing of their wings resonated with each other in a single clear sound. Almost as soon as it started the welcoming dance was over, the Pokémon all flying downwards, spinning helixes of light announcing her departure… and her replacement’s entrance.
Every routine afterwards was a fast paced performance of swirling, alternating lights. Another part of the show I realized, something I only now could notice from my location, was that new Conductors were placed between the acts of the more experienced ones. It was evident from my view which ones were new and which ones were not, the younger Pokémon fidgeted nervously and moved around a lot more during their performances. From the perspective of the distance onlookers though, it could even look like some of the lesser dances were brief interludes. Still, none of the Pokémon did particularly badly. Even the most basic array of flickering lights and dancing Volbeat was a pretty dash of yellow across the darkened sky. Almost as quickly as it had started though, it ended. The Volbeat began to leave the sky above as one final burst of light lit the surroundings. It was almost surreal how quickly it was over, an hour gone in what felt like a moment from doing nothing more than watching lights flicker through the sky. Still it was now over and with the hour of their lightshow finished most of the Pokémon that came to watch all began to leave, something that I knew the humans outside of my position were likely doing. Of course I had images to catch of the second dance.
This one was much more subdued, each Illumise dancing along with how ever many Volbeat decided to choose them. I noticed quickly that the opening Composer had nearly half of the Volbeat trying to catch her attention, and she was taking the time to dance with each one of them, the red bugs waiting their few moments to try and impress her away from the others. A few of the Pokémon only had three or four Volbeat dancing for their attention, their patterns not having been as noteworthy even to me. One of the Illumise even had none. Of course once the main attraction had selected, the less fortunate Volbeat would try and select any one of the Illumise that were left.
I took a moment to look at the lonely purple bug and messed with my camera a bit before I got up from my spot. Approaching the Pokémon, I quickly pulled out my two flashlights. The Pokémon almost fled at my presence once she noticed me, just to pause as I flicked my two flashlights at her. Mimicking some of the spins and twirls I had seen from the Volbeat last year, I put my own performance on for the bug type. A few minutes of dancing had a look on the Illumise’s face that made it plain that she was struggling to contain a laugh in. A human acting like a Volbeat had to be rather amusing to her after all.
My own face lit up though when she returned my dance, the smaller creature buzzing around me and twirling in tandem with my spins. Of course we weren’t in synch, I was unable to sense her pheromones and thus she could not direct me. However she eventually picked up on my timing, a few of the other bugs in the area taking note. They however left us alone, not at all concerned with my presence once they were sure I wasn’t trying to attack or catch them. After about five minutes of dancing I finally had to stop, my legs aching now. I was honestly rather upset, even with the admitted knowledge of many days of slacking I had believed I’d have a bit more energy. The Illumise didn’t seem to mind and even clapped merrily in response to my dance once I sat down. I silently hoped that my camera, now set to an automatic capture mode, had captured at least a good amount of our activities.
It wasn’t long after our dance that a few of the Illumise began to drift off with their chosen mate, the group thinning out as some Volbeat simply left once denied their desired claims. I quickly moved back to my camera to take a few more images, just for me to almost jump when I looked to see the Illumise there. A few Volbeat were hovering nearby now, the red bug types being ignored, as the Pokémon regarded my actions curiously. A few more images were taken before I began to pack away my camera for the night. Throughout all of this, the amateur conductor hovered right by my side.
My heart was hammering in my chest as I began to leave out, a quick look behind me revealing that she was still following me. In truth I felt a few too many emotions; a mixture of excitement, nervousness, and self-loathing. I had in truth hoped that I could get an Illumise to pick me over a Volbeat, both just to see if I could win one over and so I could see how far it would be willing to go. Of course it now felt wrong to have dressed myself in honey and I wondered faintly if she would have given me the time of day had I not done such an action. Still, I knew I did not physically regret my actions to much. The front of my pants was becoming rather uncomfortable as I stopped and turned to the bug type.
She looked me up and down before performing a single twirl, an action that was quickly followed by me once I placed my bag down. Heat ran its way across my cheeks as I lifted my shirt over my head, the smell of honey mixing now with a bit of the perspiration of the humid night and frantic dancing. The Pokémon drifted just a bit closer to me before immediately closing the distance. Her tongue, an appendage I wasn’t even sure she had, ran its way down the length of my torso. Small spikes of pleasure burned a path down me as her tongue stopped just at my navel. With that the Illumise hovered back as if savory of the taste. I stood there stunned, having not imagined the Pokémon would be so forward, and I was not ready for when she tackled me over unto the ground.
The little purple bug giggled before she began to lick all over my chest, and when my breath hitched once her tongue met one of my nipples she quickly latched on. My hips bucked up as she held me down and sucked on me, spots of light dancing across my vision. A small flash of pain crept into the action as my nipple grew too sensitive, the response of which causing her to softly laugh before switching to my other. Every lashing of her tongue felt like it would be the one that made me go crazy as she coated my chest in my saliva. The pleasure of me licked over almost made me preemptively blow my load, an action she clearly did not want as she suddenly stopped. I panted, my breathe visible, as she slowed her pace. I almost wanted to whine as she took her sweet time, her small mouth working over the entirety of my front. Not a single drop of the golden syrup was left once she finished, the Pokémon smacking her lips as if to let me know she enjoyed the meal.
“That… was amazing.” I stated between heavy breathes. She merely hummed in response before scooting down, her small hand coming to rest on the bulge in my pants. I didn’t even think twice about unbuckling my pants and pulling them down along with my boxers, my enthusiasm not unnoticed by my partner. Her blue eyes seemed to twinkle before her tongue began to dance across the crown of my swollen prick. She had to hold me down to keep me from bucking, the two foot tall bug easily overpowering me. Only once I had calmed down did she lick once more, just for her to have to go back to keeping me calm. I was so pent up now that it almost hurt, and that coy smile never left her mouth during that time.
Another lick danced upon my crown before she suddenly engulf the entire head of my prick. I hissed out, a sound that transformed into a long extended moan as she began humming. The vibrations from her song like noise traveled down the entirety of my cock and the specks of light once again rippled through my vision. However, where she had back off before, she kept up her assault. The strange sensation of my shafts vibrating mingled with the sloppiness of her tongue against my shaft’s head and I shamelessly blew my load. Her song never stopped, even once it dissolved into messy gurgling as my seed overflowed from her mouth. Finally she pulled away and became silent, her tongue toying with my cum before she swallowed it. My breath slowed only a little as she worked on taking up every little drop of my semen. Only once my shaft was completely clean did she look back and smile at me.
I opened my mouth to speak before another pleasured shudder forced its way through me. The pleasure was almost painful as the Pokémon nuzzled her face against my manhood and hummed. The vibrations this time almost seemed to rock my entire body and my spent shaft almost seemed to simply wake up once more.
“Oh my goodness.” I gasped out as she hovered up before placing her slit against the top of my meat pillar. I didn’t even get the chance to say something more as she shoved herself downwards, dominating me as readily as she would any regular Volbeat. However the difference in our anatomy finally made itself visible. Only the first inch and a half sunk into her before she found trouble continuing. Of course just that was already exquisite. Her body was still bug like and while pliable was rather sturdy, and thus it made the slick softness of her insides that much more apparent to me. Just like with her mouth, liquid oozed within the orifice. The Pokémon shuddered as she forced herself down another inch, more of myself slipping into a pleasured daze as I fit further into her impossibly tight velvet box.
However, I was not content with just letting her lead. I was a human after all, not a Volbeat, and we did things in pairs. My hands slowly reached up to grasp the small Illumise who looked me dead in the eyes.
“Let’s do this dance together.” Corny as the line was, she seemed to hum in appreciation. In response I lifted her back up a bit before easing her down. No matter how experienced she may be, a human had to be a bit out of her comfort zone, and she sighed happily at my assistance. The creases in her wonderful little snatch dragged the edges of my cocktip and I had to resist blowing once more. Thankfully I was still spent from before and thus the action was far easier than before, though I knew that would not last.
“I’m going to pull you down now, you float back up once I stop, alright?” The bug type paused her shuddering in order to nod at me. With her permission I began to push her down on my cock, her small body working hard to take in more of me. As soon as I stopped, she wiggled her small hips before fluttering back up. This time we both sighed in pleasure.
And thus our duet began, every push of the small bug resulting in her dancing back upwards. The slowness of the action slowly was replaced by a quicker rutting as we both became a little bolder. My pushing became a bit more forceful and she responded by hovering up a little faster. Our back and forth was announced with both of our panting breaths as I began to eagerly plow the bug type. Her thick syrupy nectar slowly dripped from her lovely pussy, the trails down the rest of my unused cock visible in the remaining light. My whole body was tensing up as her inner folds hugged, caressed, and kissed against the flesh of my shaft. Every second of my ‘dance’ brought me dangerously close to finishing, the only thing stopping me was the wonder of another inch sinking into her.
Both of us stopped as we relished the sensation, the throbbing into my loins almost painful as more of her began to slip down. The Illumise almost seemed to be holding her head as her eyes rolled back and a pleasured hum escaped her mouth. The song like vibrations echoed through me and I finally caved, semen gushing from my cock. If she was enjoying herself before, she was in absolute euphoria now. Her humming song kept creeping up in pitch as she began to vibrate, her juices gushing out of her as she shuddered. Throughout her entire orgasm I kept blasting my load into her, her slightly purple cunt adopting a new color. Each surge of semen left me feeling both amazing and tired. My entire body was flushed with heat as we both came down off our highs.
As the Illumise slipped off of my softening shaft I gently picked up the Pokémon to cradle her. I now knew why so many male trainers were adamant about only having female Pokémon now. I briefly considered catching her, a Pokéball soon fetched from the pockets of my pants, before thinking better of it. She was a Conductor after all and she had to choose me for the dance to be truly accepted. I didn’t have to wait long though, her blue eyes looking up into my brown ones before she regarded the Pokéball in my hand. With a quiet hum and nuzzled herself into my chest as if accepting what would come. There was no struggle once I tapped her with the ball and no struggle as the ball clicked to announce the capture.
“A new addition to my portfolio, a night to remember, and a companion… told her there was nothing to worry about.” I mused to myself as I got myself decent, and made the mental image to be a bit sneakier when I entered the house. I was absolutely sweaty now and had the peculiar smell of Illumise on me, not that I minded of course. Nothing could deflate my mood now; after all, most people would never get to partake of the dance the way I just had.
