Morphia Episode 2: He's Mine! No, Mine!
#2 of Adventures in Morphia
Chiba gets his first introduction to the guild, as well as discovers some very unusual features of its training and services. Oh, and he also makes a new friend, which is always nice!
Episode 2: He's Mine! No, Mine!
"Alright, so its like this." Alex said after we had arrived back at his stall in the Guild Applicant Sector. "Those two from Shining Moltres are part of the Wild Guilds, and they're wanted criminals. Most of us around here know how to identify them. They have black colored recruitment stalls and usually hide in the shadows where they're difficult to locate." he explained.
I thought back to the darkened alleyway and the black tarp covering the Shining Moltres guild recruiter. It was true, had the Charmeleon not guided me down the alley, I probably would never have even noticed it was there!
"Only guilds which are officially sanctioned by the Morphia Guild Association are allowed to operate freely in the region." Alex continued, "Those who make and operate their guilds without sanction are called Wild Guilds. Getting an official sanction is a complicated and even an expensive process, so Wild Guilds are far more common than you might think. They also hold a grudge against sanctioned guilds like ours, because we don't have to hide, and we often have the best resources. Most Wild Guilds turn to criminal activity as a means to support themselves, and others allow their grudge to turn into hatred." Alex finished.
I took a moment to absorb the knowledge that I had almost signed on with outlaws as Alex watched me , leaning over the counter and smiling.
"You know, nobody else seems interested today, and I did happen to save you. So why don't I invite you to join our guild?" He asked. I was surprised by the invitation, and looked up at the tarp hanging over the stall. It was bright pink, much like Alex's uniform, and had the guild name emblazoned on it in golden letters.
"Pink Power?" I asked, bewildered at the name, before looking back to Alex and remembering that his uniform was the bright pink ninja-esqe fashion. Alex laughed, although it may have sounded a pitch too high in the middle.
"Yeah, most of our enemies have the same reaction. But you've seen first hand what I can do, and we have plenty of other members just as strong, if not more than me!" He commented, "Only to be expected from a Gold Ranked Guild." He added with a proud smirk.
"Yeah, that was pretty bad ass." I said, remembering the two morphs he had dispatched in one blow each. If joining the guild could make me that powerful, it sounded like an awesome deal! "But isn't that uniform a little... restricting?" I asked, looking him over. Not only was the outfit revealing, it also seemed to hug to his body. Judging by the look of it, the material was probably elastic of some kind, because I doubt any rough clothing would have been very comfortable to wear with it clinging to him like that.
"Oh it helps with freedom of movement." Alex replied, "Besides, you're free to have the appearance customized, just so long as it matches our Guild Colors." He added. "The Pink Ninja style is rather popular, a lot of our members practice ninjutsu, myself included." He commented.
"Hmm, well I suppose if I could get something that's not too tight." I mused. Alex leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin with one partially gloved hand.
"Well I don't want you to sign up for anything you're unsure about, so I'll set you up with a trial membership." He said. When he saw the confusion on my face, he began to explain.
"You'll work for our guild, but you won't be an official member of the guild. Your trial membership will last for one week. After that time, you can make your decision to either join as a full member, or walk away." he paused to look down the rows of other recruitment stalls "And try your luck with one of them." He added, another laugh following as he did so.
"Alright, I'll give it a shot." I said, and soon Alex had a couple slips of paper for me to fill out. Reading over them, I realized they were trial membership forms. I filled out my name, date of birth, morph species, my gender, the usual stuff you might expect on an application format.
"Alright mr. Chiba" Alex said, looking over the papers, "You are now an official, unofficial member of Pink Power. I'll show you to the guild hall, and we can get to work." Alex said. I was about to make a response when he placed a hand on my shoulder and with his free hand, he held up some kind of device.
"Guild Recall!" he said firmly, and we were both engulfed in a brilliant flash of light, and then we were gone.
The next thing I remember was being outside a building far away from the city. Alex was still holding onto me as I looked around in total confusion. When I looked to him for answers, he held up a golden, egg shaped object, and I recognized it as some kind of badge.
"Its a guild badge." He said, "All members of a guild have one. It lets us instantly travel back to our guild hall or any city we've been to. Its useful for allowing people to build their guild halls anywhere they want. We simply pop into town to pick up any assignments, and then zap ourselves back to our hidden base. Its quite fun." He explained.
I turned to face the building which looked to be an enormous mansion, rather than an actual guild base! Judging by the outside, I could see three different rows of windows, so it was at least 3 floors high. It was made from pink colored brick, with ivory pillars supporting it.
"Come on in and meet the guild." Alex said, beckoning me to follow, which I proceeded to do so as he opened the front door and we stepped inside. I was immediately greeted by the sight of a large number of morphs, all of who were wearing bright pink outfits. True to Alex's word, a lot of them were designed in a ninja style uniform, but others had something more common and practical, ranging anywhere from baggy pants and t-shirts, to formal suits and dresses.
"Everyone!" Alex called out, getting the morphs' attention, "This is Chiba Junichiro, and starting today, he is on a trial membership for Pink Power!"
All of the guild members were kind enough to give me a friendly greeting, complete with verbal welcomes and waving. None of them ignored the introduction, and I waved back to them, smiling at how nice everyone seemed.
"Trial membership, huh?" said one of the morphs, a male Sandshrew, "Oh this is going to be fun." He added.
"Not right now, Tsuna, he's fresh off the boat." Alex said firmly, yet in a friendly manner to the ground type. He gave a sound that appeared to be a repressed snort of laughter, but simply waved to the Pikachu and left to go about his business.
"What was that about?" I asked. Alex just waved it off, a nervous giggle as he did so.
"Oh nothing you need to worry about right now." He said, "Our guild offers special kinds of services beyond the normal contracts. We usually don't let trial members handle them. They're not usually prepared to accept them." He added. I was even more curious now, but decided to drop the subject for later.
"Let's get you to the training field. I want to see what you can do before we set you to any kind of actual work." He said, changing the subject as he beckoned me to follow him throughout the mansion.
It was not long before we came to the outside of a room labeled "Testing Grounds." On the outside of the door hung a group of bright pink outfits, which I quickly realized were pink leotards. Alex took one of the rack and handed it to me.
"Here, put this on." he ordered, "Its our sparring uniform. It won't restrict your movements, and it bares our colors." he added before stepping inside the room. I noticed he wasn't taking an outfit for himself, and I also realized the leotard looked much too small for me. It was probably elastic too.
As I stepped through the door, I noticed it was a changing room with lockers and even a public shower. Alex was there waiting for me by the lockers with his arms crossed, and another morph was beside him.
"Fighting me would clearly be above your abilities." Alex said, "So you'll be sparring with one of our freshest recruits. His name is Cheddar." Alex said, presenting the morph beside him. I looked on to see the other was a Ratata, probably around my age. He was almost the same height, and had a slim build like mine. However, his guild training was already apparent, I could see slight muscle tone on his body, the tight leotard he was wearing didn't leave much to the imagination.
"Hey there!" Cheddar said happily, giving a nervous wave. He had a pair of circle framed glasses, and his large front teeth hung over his bottom lip, giving him a rather nerdy appearance, but I didn't say anything about it.
"Hello, I'm Chiba." I introduced myself as I began to strip out of my current clothes, only to try squeezing into the leotard. I immediately discovered it left the arms and legs completely exposed, only covering the groin area and the torso region. When I tried to flex in it, the fabric also started to ride up my butt. Thankfully, it had a hole in the back where my tail could fit through, however.
"Its a little snug!" I complained, but Cheddar giggled and commented that it took some getting used to, and I realized he was wearing the exact same type of leotard as me. They were probably all shaped like that. I also noticed that the material did nothing to hide our bulges between our legs and if I didn't have brown fur covering my face, I would probably have been blushing.
Alex snapped his fingers, a tiny spark of static popping as he did so and motioned for us to follow him out of the locker room and into the actual training room. It was rather expansive with a 3 inch thick mattress on the floor covering up most of the room. Only about 3 feet worth of room was between the walls and the oversized matt.
"The rules of this battle are simple." Alex said, "You lose if you fall outside the boundaries of the mattress, or are unable to resume battling." He started, "If you fall down, I will begin a 10 second count. If you are not standing on your feet by the time I reach 10, you are considered unable to continue." he added.
Shortly afterward, me and Cheddar were standing on opposite sides of the mattress, as Alex gave the command to start.
Cheddar wasted absolutely no time at all. The moment Alex started the match, his image flickered and then vanished from sight all together. I only had a split second to recognize it was a Quick Attack before I felt the impact of his fist connect with my face, sending me reeling backwards.
I tried to retaliate with a technique of my own, but by the time I recovered, he was gone.
"Cheddar may be new to the guild, but he already has his sights set on being one of our fastest speed fighters." Alex commented, "Quick Attack is his signature move." he added.
I tried to look around the field to locate him, only to feel another punch catch me in the back, sending me pitching forward and falling to the mattress. I looked behind me to see Cheddar smiling triumphantly with one fist extended, and the other drawn back. I was still recovering from the pain of being hit in the back when I heard Alex starting his count.
"Darn it..." I grunted, forcing myself to ignore the pain as I pushed myself to a kneeling position. Alex has reached number 4 in his count. I got to one leg up as he reached 6, and then finally stood up again just as he counted to 9.
"Alright, Cheddar." I said, "It's clear you're not wanting to take it easy on me." I said, rubbing my back as best I could.
"We're a gold ranked guild, you don't get that way by giving people a handicap in a fight." Cheddar responded, still keeping his cheerful disposition, but also sounding rather serious, "Now are you Pink Power material, or just some wannabe?" he asked.
"We'll see, now won't we?" I asked, and just as his body started to flicker again, I launched myself forward with a tackle attack. I felt a solid impact, even though my eyes were closed from the pain, and wrapped my arms around the victim.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was, indeed, Cheddar who I had grabbed, looking quite surprised at having been caught. The weight of my body sent him off balance and he toppled to the mat with me pinning him down.
"Let's see you try and use that speed when I'm holding onto you!" I declared as he tried to squirm in my grasp. We were both surprised when Alex started counting, and when I looked over, he paused to comment that pinning my opponent for 10 seconds counted as a victory.
"Let me go!" Cheddar protested, one of his arms pinned to the ground under him, the other on trying to pry my arms loose.
"Nuh-uh!" I retorted childishly as the counting escalated. "This is for hitting me in the back!" I added. His squirming brushed our two suits against each other, and the tight fabric was producing some rather odd sensation.
I was only two counts away from victory, when I sudden felt something prod against my crotch and as part of my male instincts, I recoiled to see what had touched me. This was all the time Cheddar needed, and I briefly saw a tent forming in his own leotard before he vanished from under me with a flicker.
"Son of a-!" I was cut off just as the Ratata's foot slammed into my right shoulder. The speed of the impact was great enough to send me rolling out of bounds as Alex held up an arm and shouted the match was over.
"Cheddar Wins by knock out." Alex declared as I tried to ignore the stinging pains in my body I looked back into the ring to see that Cheddar did, indeed, have a tent of arousal pressing against his leotard, the elastic material tugging back against it. He seemed noticeably uncomfortable by the sudden cramped tightness in his groin. Made evident by attempting to adjust the leotard, but only seeming to make the problem worse.
"Cheddar, why don't you go to the locker room and take care of that situation. I'll have a chat with Chiba about his performance. The purple rat didn't need to be told twice as he quickly made his way towards the locker room, already stripping down as he did so. Clearly the outfit was growing more uncomfortable by the second.
"I almost had him." I said, forcing myself into a sitting position. As my adrenaline began to ware off, the pain began to grow more intense. I was now forming a head ache, my back shot a jolt of pain whenever I tried to move, and my shoulder hurt when I tried to lift my arm.
"Yes, and yet you let him get away." Alex said, sounding genuinely confused as he helped me to prop me against the wall. I looked up at him as if he hadn't seen what the problem was. He only shook his head to the side.
"I'll give you a little warning right now, Chiba." Alex said, "If you want to reach Cheddar's level of training, you can't let something like a boner distract you from victory." He said, crossing his arms. "As a matter of fact, a lot of our members use exactly those kinds of distractions to catch our opponents off guard. Part of our training is learning how to control our sexual urges, instead of being controlled by them." He explained.
Now I was definitely confused. What kind of guild would use sex as a means of fighting? Alex sighed as he fingered the bridge of his nose.
"I forgot to tell Cheddar you're only a trial membership, he thought you were fully accepted, so he didn't hold back." Alex said, his tone apologetic, "Alright. Those special features I told you about... Well its like this." He said.
Meanwhile, the Shining Moltres was not pleased to hear their recruitment drive had been disposed of. The Charmeleon and the Zubat were laying face first on the floor of a throne room, illuminated only by flaming pires, giving the room a dim and hellish look to it.
The two morphs had regained consciousness, but their wounds had not been tended to, and they lacked the strength to properly stand up as they reported their failure. Their boss sat upon a throne at the top of a staircase, his upper body shrouded in darkness.
"So this... Pink Power Guild stole one of our potential recruits and humiliated my recruiters?" The hidden figure said, shifting in his throne. Only the figures' legs were revealed. Dressed in fiery orange pants, the leggings were bound, and a pair of ebony black boots covered its feet.
"Not only did the two of you be disposed of by a single guild member, but it was by a guild nobody wants to join, according to your eye witness reports!" A jet of pink searing flames shot from the darkness, causing the two morphs on the floor to shiver and grovel.
"You're pathetic. I knew I should have given the recruitment post to someone with actual experience working for a guild!" The figure scolded. The morphs attempted to plead for forgiveness, but another gout of flames quickly silenced them, this one coming just inches away from actually hitting them.
"Glave!" The figure shouted into the room, and the very instant the name left his mouth, another morph appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. It landed on top of the two recruiters, one foot slamming onto their backs and causing them to go rigid as they shrieked out in pain before falling unconscious.
"This trash won't be able to walk ever again, master. Shall I have them disposed of?" The morph said, a sadistic grin spreading to its face as it looked down at the crippled morphs under his feet.
"Hmph, I don't care. They were a waste of guild resources anyways." The shadowy leader said.
The one identified as Glave was a Scizor morph, a steel and bug type. As Scizor was already closely anthropomorphic in design, its appearance was not too different from a common member of the species, except it retained human speech and intelligence. It was wearing a flaming orange ninja suit covering almost its entire body save for the pincer shaped hands, head, and feet.
"Very well." Glave replied, grabbing the two morphs by the throats and hoisting him into the air with one arm each, as he began to leave the room.
"And when you do that, rally 10 of our experienced members. We've got a recruit to claim!" The boss shouted.
I stood in the public showers now, trying to use the hot water to soothe my aching body as Cheddar was bathing further down the line. He had "fixed" his problem by rubbing out a quickie while Alex had explained things to me, and now he was cleaning himself off, both from the battle, and from his release.
Pink Power, in addition to offering bounty hunts, treasure hunts, and rescue operations, was a guild of prostitutes who offered sexual favors to paying customers. That is what Alex had told me. That's also why nobody had been at the recruitment stall, their reputation was already established around Treasure City, and despite the incredible power of the guild itself, few people wanted to apply for membership, knowing they might have to sell their bodies for a pervert's enjoyment.
No wonder he had tried to keep it a secret, just the revelation alone was making me have second thoughts already.
"We don't force you to take a job if you don't want to it." Alex tried to explain, "Guild members are free to accept or deny any contracts presented to them, and we never use trial members to fulfill those kinds of contracts." He went on. "But they are worth huge amounts of money, and it is something you will hear about often within the guild. So I might as well tell you up front." After that, he had dismissed me.
Cheddar, still being new to the guild, had yet to obtain mastery over his desires. Apparently some of the more veteran members of the guild could suppress a hard one like that at will, but once he was aroused, he had to tend to it.
I didn't notice it at first, but I was subconsciously passing glances to Cheddar when it seemed like he wasn't looking at me. The news that had been revealed to me had been awkward, and we were a distance from each other, not having spoken since the fight. But as I soothed my body in the hot waters, I couldn't help but pass my gaze to the purple mouse who's back was turned and lathering his fur with body wash.
I became aware of my wandering gaze when I passed a glance over his waist and was met with a surprise. Much like those of a common rat, Cheddar's balls were quite large for his body. Although the rest of his body was probably on an even scale with my own, his sac was almost the size of my fist! I could see it hanging as he was forced to keep his legs partly spread to prevent from squeezing them between his thighs. I looked down at my own endowments, realizing my balls were barely half the size of his. I also noticed something else. I was starting to grow aroused from checking out the rat!
Caught off guard, I quickly turned around before Cheddar noticed and grabbed some body wash. I had only intended to soothe my muscles, but now I needed something to distract my mind. Unfortunately body wash probably wasn't the best way to go about that, because lathering my chest, arms, and legs in the gelled substance only brought imaginations of being rubbed by the rat just on the other side of the room.
"If you want to join me, you can. The guild is quite welcoming about that sort of thing." Cheddar said flatly, causing me to go stiff in another way than what you might be thinking by now. I turned around to see the well endowed rat boy now facing me fully nude, his hands resting on his hips.
"I have big ears, you know?" He said, "I can hear you shifting around sneaking peaks at me." He grinned. I stared at him dumbfounded, trying to think of how to respond, that's when he shut off his own shower and began to approach mine.
"You've never done anything like this, have you?" The rat asked in a hushed whisper as he leaned in, resting a digit on my chest, still slick with body wash. A gentle push from him and I was up against the wall.
"Cheddar..." I muttered pathetically, it was the only thing I could bring myself to say. My mind was swimming with confusion. Thoughts about the guild, the Ratata, my own arousal, I was fairly overwhelmed by this point.
"Don't worry." Cheddar said,trailing a finger to rest at my lips, "I'll just help you get rid of this." He said, gently taking hold of my erection and squirting some body wash into my crotch. I tensed up from the cold gel, and soon he began using it as lubricant to stroke me off.
My back was pressed against the cold stone wall of the shower, and Cheddar was taking up most of the water now. The rest of my body was starting to get cold from the air blowing through it, but my legs were growing quite warm as he stroked me off. I kept my eyes down, chest rising with heavy breath, trying to breathe through the lust and the steamy vapor as I saw his cock start to grow aroused once more. He promptly responded by moving closer to me, placing both our cocks against each other and using both hands to stroke us off. His own breathing was starting to turn into panting, but he was still in much better control than I was.
"Now look, you got me all hard again, you naughty fox!" he said. He began rocking his hips now, rutting his cock against mine. His balls may have been more than twice the size of my own, but I had a bigger member. It was hard to tell with his hands rubbing up and down our lengths, but from what I could see, mine was about an inch or two longer in comparison.
After a while of playing with me, the steam of the water was starting to reduce. The shower was running out of hot water, and unless we wanted to clean ourselves off with a cold shower, we had to hurry up. I reached over and turned up the heat a little, extending the hot water supply for a while as we neared our climaxes.
"Cum for me, foxy!" Cheddar commanded, as I did my best to clench the wall as I felt my body tensing up, only leaving shallow claw marks in the stone as my pants turned into full on gasping. The base of my cock swelled with my canine knot and finally, we blew our copious amounts of load all over each other. Our cum splattered on each others chest, stomach, and even our faces. Cheddar's release was a lot messier than me. I had shot only 3 stringy ropes of cum, but he kept blasting me. I counted maybe 10 shots from him before his over sized balls finally calmed down.
Our bodies went limp, it was already an exhausting process for a boy to masturbate in the shower, and we had done it standing up. My knees bent as I leaned against the wall for support, and Cheddar fell against me, our cum covered bodies making a mess. We took a moment to recover our strength before quickly scrubbing the cum our of our fur before it could dry. Then we turned off the water to allow the heater to replenish its supply for the next morphs who wanted to use it.
"We can have a lot more fun like that if you want." Cheddar said, "But its only free to guild members." He added with a wink before drying himself off. "Everyone else has to pay!" He added when he finished. Putting his glasses on, he had removed them previously so he could shower. I also saw the form of clothing he preferred to wear when not in the training room.
His uniform consisted of a pair of short-shorts, bring pink in color. The leggings ended about 1/3 of the way down his thighs, having just enough clothing to cover his modesty, while leaving his legs fully exposed. He also had a tight fitting tank top, and when I watched him put on a pair of bright pink running shoes, I finally realized he had modeled it after a track running uniform! Well it certainly fit his desire to be a high speed fighter, at least.
I went to fetch my own clothing, and was met with the sight of Alex standing where I had left them, a bag under his arm as he watched me approach.
"Since you are a trial member," He said, "You will be expected to wear our colors for the duration of your stay with us." he said, handing me the bag. "Your clothes are kept in storage with the rest of the trial members. Instead, here is a spare uniform to borrow while you get used to our guild." he said.
I carefully unzipped the bag he had presented to me, already expecting the bright pink coloring of whatever was inside. But when I pulled out a ninja outfit, that was not what I had expected. The outfit was not as revealing or sexy as Alex's was. It was the stereotypical outfit that most ninjas are expected to wear in all black, except this one was bright pink. It also had dark pink armor to be strapped to the forearms and shins. The uniform would cover the vast majority of my body, save for the eyes, and a hole in the back for my tail.
"I figured since you're going to be my apprentice for the duration of your stay here, you might as well dress like me." He said with a grin, "And I see you had a little bonding experience with Cheddar. I was listening the whole time." He added. I reflexively covered my mouth with one hand, blushing under my fur as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
"I'm not exactly pleased with how quickly Cheddar made a move on you, but I'm glad to see you didn't react violently to it." he said in a proud tone of voice, "I knew you looked like Pink Power material, "Maybe you'll fit in here more than you think." He added. He then waited as I began to suit up, feeling the pink, silky material against my fur. It was nice and cool, but also let me move about how I pleased. The armor on my arms and legs was also pretty neat too, it made me feel like I could deflect bullets with my hands, but I wasn't actually going to test that theory.
As we exited from the showers, someone came rushing down the hallways, it looked to Cheddar again, and he looked quite disturbed by something. As he came skidding to a stop in front of us, he began pausing to catch his breath.
"Master... Alex..." he said, "Front Gate..." the Pikachu waited for him to calm himself. "Front Gate, they need you and Chiba." He said, finally his breathing returning to normal. "Some group called Shining Moltres says you stole one of their recruits. They're challenging Pink Power to a guild war!" He finally revealed.
I looked at Alex, confused by what he meant, but the Pikachu's face turned quite serious as he patted Cheddar on the head.
"Thank you, Cheddar, I will head there immediately. Take a rest." He ordered, "Chiba, come with me. I have a feeling your presence will be demanded." He added. With that, he grabbed hold of me and presented the badge once again. "Front Gate!" he ordered, and we vanished in a flash, only to once again appear outside the guild hall to witness the sight of quite a large number of Pokemorphs.
Gathered outside where a total of 19 Pokemorphs, but with the addition of Alex and myself, it was now 21. The Pokemorphs who had been gathered were divided up into teams. One team had 10 members, the other had 9 members. I noticed that the team with 9 wore our pink colors, while the team with 10 wore the fiery orange color of Shining Moltres.
"He belonged to us first, hand him over!" shouted one of the orange clad morphs.
"He's serving a trial membership with us, back off!" shouted one of the pink clad morphs.
"It looks like this argument is about you." Alex whispered to me as he came to stand with the pink clad team, bringing their numbers now up to an even 10 on 10.
"I hear you're looking for a guild war!" Alex declared as he approached, "So let's start with the terms!" He added, punching his right palm with his left fist, sending a ripple of static electricity dancing around him.
To be continued
Previews of Next Episode:
Shining Moltres has challenged Pink Power to a guild war, a battle between two opposing Guild Factions. The winner gets the right to recruit me. The loser has to ban me from ever gaining membership to their guild again. Shining Moltres is looking to humiliate Pink Power, so they've brought along their star players. Can the Pink Power match their skill and determination, or will my trial membership end before it even begins?
