A Taste for the Dark
Wow, this was an intimate project. Stepping into a more difficult territory to write first person. I like how it turned out, after getting some notes, I revised the end and gave some extra detail. Let me know what you think!
The story is about a Pokemon police officer rescuing an Absol, rehabilitating her and growing close! Contains Pokephilia, if you couldn't guess. 5300 words
A Taste for the Dark
They called her vicious, cold, unsalvageable. There was a good reason for these impressions, too. This particular absol was rescued from an underground Pokémon fighting ring, which used various forms of torture to push Pokémon into fighting with the intent to seriously injure, even kill. Here she was, at a battle-ready position in her kennel, looking at me with contempt in the station’s medbay.
I was a member of the strike force assigned to bust the sick fucks behind a string of kidnapped Pokémon in Lumoise City. We thought they were taking Pokémon to sell them, not this…
“Almost all reported missing Pokémon have been reunited with their respective trainers, albeit in rehab, Jameson.” The grim-sounding voice of the police chief rang out to me. “There were books detailing the gains and losses, including fatalities, which allowed us to connect the dots with the still-missing Pokémon…” He began walking towards me, keeping a watchful eye on the absol.
“And this one? Any luck finding out who she was with before all of this?” I inquired. The absol’s eyes were darting between myself and the chief; I could hear her beginning to hyperventilate, maybe from more humans getting near?
“The records they kept, if we are to trust them, seem to point towards being wild, but taken from the streets of the city.” The chief looked me in the eye, voice growing more somber, “She seems to be the most reactive from the bunch… She was also the crowd favored to win in her fights.” He sighed and looked down, he was a hard man, but the suffering of Pokémon was something that always cut him very deep. “She is very violent towards the medical staff, still, and will likely get into more trouble than she could handle back in the wild. We may have to put her down…”
I looked back to the absol, she was definitely hyperventilating now, fear filling her eyes. Maybe she knew? They are omen Pokémon, after all. “Look at her, chief, she’s terrified. She’s not a reflection of her captors, she’s their victim. We owe it to her to persevere.” I retorted.
The chief unbuckled his tac-vest from the raid he was still wearing. I realized that we have been in gear for 18 hours now, the adrenaline keeping most of the team going while working to bring these Pokémon to the safety of their families after apprehending the scum that kept them. After pulling his vest off, he replied with a sigh, “I suppose you’ll take responsibility for her then, Oliver?”
Hearing him address me by first name really humanized the stoic man, in some strange way. I had a few Pokémon in my time work with me, but my family only had a few companions, so I never really had the chance to find one, myself. Looking at the absol, whose wounds we had to treat with potions at range with tranquilizers, I felt a rush of warmth wash over me. Sure, I had thought about adopting a partner of my own, but I never really felt anything like this before. Something about her just made me feel… At peace. Withholding my inner monologue from the chief, I nodded at him.
“Very well, then. Don’t let her down, Jameson.” Was there a small smile as he turned away? The chief nearly dragged his vest, hanging onto a strap as he left the room, visibly exhausted.
I turned to the absol and knelt to be at eye level, her breathing seeming to regulate a bit more. Her eyes a vision of apprehension and fear, but still better than they were before. Slowly, I reached to her through the bars of the kennel, her look of fear and anger intensifying again. She growled at me and bristled her hackles, she wasn’t ready yet, part of me knew that. It didn’t make me feel scared, her behavior, the peace she instilled in me keeping any panic at bay.
“I know you’re afraid, girl, but you’ll be safe here on out. I promise, you’ll never be forced to fight again.” I calmly told her, smiling at her still-defensive features. Turning and pushing my back to the wall next to her kennel, I sat and unstrapped my gear, leaning it against the bars. If nothing, she’ll get used to my scent. Exhaustion washing over me as my head nodded forward. Thinking to myself, 25 years and no Pokémon to call partner, something about this new ‘lost cause’ made me swell up with indescribable emotion. One last thing came to mind before I fell asleep right there next to her kennel, “Umbra…”
Today’s the day, she’s come so far… I know she has this in the bag… Why am I so nervous? Will I mess up and cause her to fail? I could never live that down…
“U-Umbra… you’re the only one who can make me feel so warm yet so helpless.” I said shakily to the absol at my side. She had a black vest on, with a handle at the top. Looking up at me, an expression reflected mine, she was nervous too. Why am I letting my emotions get the best of me when I needed to be her rock? Taking a deep breath, I scritched the back of her head lovingly, “I know you are so capable, but you know you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. I will never make you fight, only if you want to.”
My nagging earned me a nudge with her sharp horn, making me shuffle away slightly. Ever since we took her from those awful people, she primarily communicated with body language, not ‘speaking’ as other Pokémon do. “Okay, okay, I know you want to do this. I just can’t believe that you are so ready to dive back into the world you came from, but I can’t blame you for wanting to stop others from hurting Pokémon.”
It had been a long year to get to this point. From waking up slumped into the bars of Umbra’s kennel, with her curled up as close to me as possible on the other side, to deepening our bond with teaching her to live a life free from torture. All of that to a string of questions I assailed her with as she developed an interest with coming to the precinct with me. She wanted to be a part of what saved her, to recognize her innate power in the old ring to be a hero. My hesitance was met with a steadfast resolve in Umbra.
Umbra’s special sense for danger, or omens, made her stand very upright as the door opened to the course before us. This was it!
“Umbra, such!” I commanded, giving her the command for searching. We bolted out of the building in sync, Umbra far outpacing me as her superior senses swiftly guided her to the substance stash hidden down a mock alley. The course was designed to look like the streets of Lumoise, or similar cities, to better prepare for our department.
On cue, an armored man bolted from behind a dumpster near where Umbra found the stash, “Umbra, fass!” I shouted, sending my partner into a vicious charge, catching up to the man in no time and tackling him to the ground. Even with the armor, it had to hurt. Biting his upper arm and pushing her horn to his neck to pin him in place, Umbra growled until I touched him. “Good girl, fuss!” Indicating I wanted her to heel, she released him and stood nearby.
“Rooftops, Jameson, go!” The loudspeaker blared, signaling, the next part of the course. There was a fire escape nearby that went 3 stories, testing more than just the partner Pokémon!
“Umbra, hopp!” I ordered as I ran to the fire escape, climbing the ladder as my partner gracefully jumped up to the first platform, beating me to it. “Good girl, you’re doing great.” I whispered to her as I began running up the steps.
Maybe my praise energized her, as Umbra took to jumping to the adjacent wall, running up it a few steps before jumping back to the higher platform, repeating the maneuver to reach the top very much before me.
Chuckling to myself under my breath, I caught up to see the signs showing a semi-dangerous agility course for us. There was netting, at least, usually…
Jumping between platforms and over various railing was second nature to both of us. In addition to the ‘regular life’ I taught her about, she encouraged me to up my regiment to more than just jogging and working out.
In a final test of trust for potential partners, we get to the edge of a building, where a mock helicopter held a line with a karabiner at the end. I bring it to my waist harness to attach myself.
“You’ll be okay, girl, just trust me. I will keep you safe.” I reassure her, before grabbing the handle on her vest, pulling my partner to myself.
“Sol…” Umbra quietly said to me, before the cord pulled taut, pulling us away from the building.
I smiled and clung to her tightly as we were carried across the training grounds, tears welling up. We did it, she did it, she’s… amazing.
Umbra looked stunning at graduation. Her fur was immaculate and her vest neatly accenting the dark colors she sported with the white coat. I think with this; her confidence was revived. Spending all this time was helping her adjust and be happy, but not much for her to be personally proud of. She finally started “speaking” once we finished the course, not just using growls or body language. Her voice was low, but dignified. She used it plenty as we finished the course, concerned about my blubbering.
She has become everything to me, I can’t imagine my life without her in it. I love her. Every time she looks at me now, I can’t help but blush a little. What is she doing to me? I look like an idiot in the graduation party.
“Congratulations Umbra!” Officers repeated, as they came up to her, showering her with praise and affection in this sports bar. It was neither my, nor Umbra’s scene, but we made the best of it. Drinks were comped at least, which may have not been the best thing…
The third cheap scotch was helping with my nerves, but not my drifting gaze. My eyes always finding their way back to Umbra; darting away when she looked at me. I didn’t want to be noticed ogling my Pokémon partner!
“Who do ya keep starin’ at?!” The voice from over my shoulder made me jump, turning to find out who caught me. “I see you checkin’ her out ya hound!” A woman from the office was chastising another officer sitting next to me.
I sighed audibly and turned back to my drink, slouched to try and hide my blush. “I swear I wasn’t checking anyone out, I just was looking at…” The guy stumbled over his excuse, I tuned them out while I threw back the rest of the scotch. A less inebriated gentleman would be appalled by treating scotch like that, but I needed it. The heat galvanizing me as I stood, walking as gracefully as I could towards where Umbra was. There were a few officers talking with her, or rather, to her. She seemed to just want to listen as they told stories from the beat.
Turning her head as I neared, she smiled and called out to me, causing my liquid bravery to skip a beat. I had it bad for her, one of the officers in the group noticed my red face and spoke up, “Damn, Oliver, I know they’re free, but slow down on the drinking.”
“Yeah you look like you could spend a night in the tank.” Another officer joked at my expense, though I could only smile and giggle like an idiot. I was definitely drunk, but not smashed.
I thanked Arceus that they chalked my behavior up to the drinks, but one didn’t. Umbra looked at me curiously and walked up, nuzzling against my side. “Aaaab…” She cooed out to me.
“Heyyyy Umbra, I love you so much.” I blurted out before dropping to my knees and embracing her tightly, in front of everyone. The officers had a giggle at that, but I heard a few ‘awws’ as I clung to her. Umbra was frozen for a moment before nuzzling into my neck and over my shoulder, returning the hug.
“Absol… Sol?” Umbra whispered to me. If I had to guess it was reciprocating my statement but asking if I was okay.
Was I less inhibited? Sure, but was I more than okay. “Umbra, I feel fantastic. I really do love you, and I feel so good around you.” I whispered to her, to not let the others realize I was more lucid than they thought. “I don’t think you understand how much I mean that…” I continued, stroking her neck.
Umbra looked at me with eyes slightly widened, if she could show blush, I figure this would be one of those times. “Absol, Ab…” She nudged me a bit, pushing me upwards to stand. Placing herself next to me so her vest handle touched my hand, I got the hint and grabbed it.
“What’s up Umbra?” I questioned, stumbling a little as she started walking forward. Did I offend her? She was clearly walking us out of the bar.
Turning to the rest of the party I shouted, “I guess Umbra wants to go home, thanks everyone!”
As a group they called out various goodbyes and praises to Umbra, as well as some ribbing about how she’s taking the drunk partner home. “Absol!” Umbra said, returning the gestures.
I was lucky she was a bit big for her species, making her handle higher than where my hand was able to rest downward. Most absol only come up to her shoulder with their horns. Luckily, she was still lean and not too heavy, for when I had to pick her up. Her size made me stumble more than once going home, but conversely, I was able to use her as support the whole way.
“Umbra, did I upset you back there? Was I embarrassing you? Please say something…” I asked as we walked, the questions were mostly met with silence, but sometimes she would look back with an unreadable poker face.
I was beginning to feel really bad, did I go too far with what I said? I’d never forgive myself if I overstepped or ruined anything with Umbra. She had become my world since we met. Our rowhouse was coming up, the alcohol now hindered my emotional strength instead of emboldening it, as my mind started concocting all sorts of scenarios.
I fumbled my keys around until I was able to unlock the door, which Umbra pushed open as I stumbled in after her. The door thankfully closes on its own and she leads me to the bed and pushes me onto.
“Y-You want me to sleep it off, Umbra?” I asked, tears still blurring my vision.
“Sol, Absol?” She asked, it felt like she was wanting to know more about what I said.
“I… I love you Umbra, but you know that. I mean… You make me feel ways no one has ever made me feel so strongly.” I confessed, blushing like an idiot.
Umbra climbed onto the bed and lied down to my side, “Ab, Sol. Absol.” She relayed.
“Don’t you mind?” I asked, before she nuzzled my side softly.
At this point she started snuggling with me, her large form was strong, yet the soft fur felt so good.
“Sol… Absol…” Umbra whispered before licking my cheek.
“You… feel the same?” I asked, getting a nod out of her.
Leaning in, I kissed Umbra right on her muzzle, something I had wanted to try for a long time. The fur on her face was shorter than her white fur, but it was velvety and nice. Absol muzzles are short for being canine, so it wasn’t too hard for our mouths to lock together. The kiss elicited the cutest little squeak from Umbra, but she leaned into the kiss shyly. My tongue was able to find hers to wrestle some, it was soft, but bigger than mine. Exploring further, I found her sharp teeth, which only turned me on more. She was so powerful and sexy; I couldn’t believe what we were doing. This was so taboo, but I couldn’t stop.
A small strand of saliva connected us briefly as we pulled apart. Both of us were huffing slightly from the passionate kiss, looking into her eyes, she seemed to have wanted that as much as I did. All this time together without acting on these feelings must have frustrated her, since she took the initiative to use her horn to rip my shirt clean off.
“Umbra! Wh-what are you do- oh!” I exclaimed as she leaned in to lap at my chest and nuzzle my bare torso. She seemed totally enamored with my fit body, rubbing herself on me like that.
Feeling overdressed, I discarded the shredded top and kicked off my shoes. Umbra stopped her treatment of my muscles to look at me expectantly.
“Oh, of course Umbra, here…” I slowly unstrapped her vest, helping her wiggle out of it. Able to ogle her openly, I took in her form. Her chest was about as big as mine but leading down to a slender waist before muscled thighs. The fur on her belly was softer than the rest of her so I took advantage of that to embrace her tightly. Feeling her against my bare skin felt so right, her heart beating against mine, the scene was almost perfect, almost.
Squirming uncomfortably, my pants felt more and more like a chastity belt. Umbra picked up on the issue and gave me a coy look. I began to unbuckle when a large paw pushed my hands away, with Umbra sliding down to undo my belt and pants with her mouth.
“Umbra, you don’t have to do this yet if you’re not ready. Just please tell me if you want to stop or anything.” I was nervous saying that, but she just looked up at me with a smirk before rolling me onto my back.
My briefs were the only thing covering me as I sidled out of the pants. Umbra stood with legs on both sides of me, leaning down to nuzzle at my concealed cock. I held my breath as she gripped the waistband and pulled. Grunting a bit as I finally sprung free, slapping my belly. There I was, exposed to my partner Pokémon, and she couldn’t peel her eyes off me.
I was never insecure about my size, being roughly 7.5 inches and thick. My foreskin covered about half my bulbous tip but offered plenty of stretch back and forth. Umbra took in the shapes and smells curiously, not used to seeing this kind of anatomy. She lowered herself and stuck her snout against my plump sack, huffing my scent and making me blush. I never thought a woman would be that into it like that, but I guess Pokémon work a little differently.
Looking up at me she seemed more buzzed than I was, what I could only guess was pure lust in her eyes as she kept looking into mine while she began licking my orbs. I moaned out and pulsed sticky pre onto my stomach as each lick lifted one up. Her tongue was long and warm, lathering my balls with slick saliva until they were completely coated. Once done, she licked up my shaft slowly, making me pulse many times before she got to my sensitive tip.
“Oh Umbra, that feels amazing… you can play with that loose skin, just be gentle with those teeth, baby.” I said, huffing as she smiled and lapped up my slick pre, my tip steadily leaking more for her as she nursed on me. Once she was ready, she licked into my foreskin, tasting the musky pre against my slick head. At first, she got under the skin, but the licked retracted it behind my glans. To her delight, I let out loud moans as she explored that ridge.
I panted and managed to speak up, “U-Umbra, please, that feels too good. If you keep going, I’m gonna…” I moaned loudly as she took my whole tip in her hot muzzle, sinking slowly as I shivered under her assault. My head touched her throat as she sunk to the base, pushing me past my breaking point. My balls contracted as I started firing strong ropes of my seed into her muzzle and throat. Moaning out loudly, I threw my head back as I rode out the greatest orgasm I had felt yet. Umbra swallowed everything I fed her, but her muzzle shape allowed some to leak down my balls.
Panting as I came down from my high, I pet Umbra lovingly, “Thank you, Umbra. You’re amazing…” My member was still mostly hard as she cleaned up the rest of my cum.
Climbing over me, she nuzzled me lovingly, before rolling onto her back at my side. “Absol…” She cooed as she spread her legs, her blade shaped tail wagging against the covers.
It was time for me to be nervous again, as I knew what she was expecting. Not one to be a selfish lover, I knelt into position between her legs and took in her spade like never before. Leaning in, I touched the plush vulva, it was really soft and very warm. Spreading her, I took in her foreign design. It was pink as it went in, with a little nub of what I assumed was her clit, and her leaking passage below.
As I approached, the scent of her struck me. It was like a spiced wine, strong, alluring… Not feeling as squeamish about the idea, now, I kissed the plush labia and opened my mouth to lick up the opening. At first, there was an earthy flavor, followed by an almost… numbing sweetness? It was very difficult to describe, but she tasted amazing to me, because she is my Umbra…
Speaking of, Umbra began cooing out and squirming as my tongue explored her soft folds, seeking to find the spots that made her moan. Finding the nub, I ground the textured part of my tongue back and forth over it, making Umbra squirm and kick over my shoulders. Letting out beautiful noises for me as I felt her juices come more readily forward. Lowering, I pushed my tongue into the canal below, feeling her flex on me brought my cock fully back to life.
Getting a carnal idea, I opened up and took her whole labia into my mouth, basically sucking on the whole thing. Umbra let out a choked gasp and huff, a forepaw landing on my head to hold me down as she ground her pussy into my mouth.
‘Apparently she liked it.’ I thought, using my lips to knead it around while my tongue dove deep into her. She began humping my face like she was fucking it, holding my head down with both forepaws, now. It was really getting hot for me, as she bucked in pleasure, I leaked pre like a faucet onto the sheets. Feeling her quickly flexing on my tongue was my only warning before she let out a whine and came into my mouth, the previous flavor intensifying and filling my mouth with warmth as she seemed to squirt some.
Umbra’s paws lifted from my head as she shuddered on the bed, allowing me to catch my breath, as well. She was so lost in afterglow, that she hardly noticed as I crawled over her large body, my face becoming level with hers, as my dripping tip neared her twitching folds. I could feel the heat radiating off her, but especially so on my member.
“Ready, Umbra?” I asked, breaking her from her reverie.
She nodded slowly, “Sol…” She whispered softly, still panting a little.
I looked down to aim myself, pulling my skin to my head to make insertion a little easier for her. My tip nestled in the valley of her ‘Y’ and I pressed forward. The soft vulva quickly encapsulated my head, but sinking further, my foreskin began pulling back as I entered the unbelievably tight part of her pussy. Groaning as she squirmed, accommodating my size relatively well into her large form. Both of us let out shudders as I sank to the halfway mark, my sensitive head fully exposed and allowing me to feel every little detail inside her insanely warm body. Our faces wore similar expressions of dumb bliss, enjoying every inch of our coupling, down to the base, where my balls rested on her now stretched spade.
“Oh Arceus, Umbra you’re so warm and tight, this is amazing…” I managed to moan out, just enjoying myself, settled deep inside my partner.
“Ab… Sollll…” Umbra cooed to me, writhing in delight under me, pinned in place by member.
As much as I wanted to stay just like this forever, I wanted to experience everything with her. Pulling back, the tightness causing my foreskin to glide back over my head inside her, before pushing back in, allowing me to feel her bare walls against my exposed head, sent me into a haze of pleasure. I never knew sex with a Pokémon could be this intense. Apparently, Umbra was in a similar headspace. Bottoming out the second time, she began convulsing and crying out in another orgasm, milking my whole cock in a pulsing, snug embrace.
Not one to keep her waiting, I began thrusting before she even finished cumming. Moans flew freely from my mouth as I pumped her tight pussy, her legs twitching and paws flexing in pleasure as we made love. My hands travelled up and down her sides as I kissed her neck, internally thankful of her size, making the experience better for the both of us.
Umbra, between her cute noises, leaned in and began showering me with licks and kisses. Landing on my lips, she pushed her tongue into my mouth and insisted on this kind of kiss, again. All too happy to oblige, we moaned into each other’s mouths, tongues wrestling as our hips dug together.
Our crotches were soaked from the multitude of orgasms that Umbra crashed through, it felt like she was wanting this as long as I have, if not longer. Her contractions ebbed off shortly before they started again, making my effort to make this last a difficult task. I slowed and hilted her, twisting my hips to dig it deep inside, before lifting my upper body up to look over her.
Panting, I begun, “Oh, Umbra, you’re so beautiful and amazing, I can’t believe we’re doing this. I want to be with you forever…” I ran my hands down her chest and over her belly, enjoying the soft fur between my fingers. My hands fell to where her vulva stretched around me, taking the tip of it and pinching slightly on her clit, rolling it around and making her squirm in delight. It surprised me that she was had such stamina after so many orgasms.
I caught a big hindpaw to the face, smirking as I held it, then the other in place. Pulling on them as I pushed forward, feeling her vulva against my pelvis as I dug into her as deeply as possible. Umbra cried out, loving the sensation of me being so deep. This invigorated me as I began thrusting while holding onto her paws. The soft pads gripped my hands in time with my thrusting, which aided in holding onto them.
From this position, I was able to watch her faces of pleasure as I bounced her waist with my thrusts. I wasn’t going to hold out much longer, and I really wanted to time my orgasm with her next.
“Umbra, baby, I’m gonna cum. May I… inside?” I asked, which got a hazed nod in response, “Then lets cum together… Cum for me, Umbra…” I begged her.
She seemed to like my request, as she wiggled her hips and angled herself to give my thrusts full purchase over her. I could hear the wetness of each thrust get louder as she started contracting again, allowing me to let go as I fell over her.
Time seemed to stop as my orgasm hit. Holding myself with my elbows, we moaned face-to-face as we came together. I couldn’t count how many times I pulsed a fresh wave of cum, filling her completely, feeling myself swim in her. Her contractions forced a combination of our fluids out and onto the bed, feeling like hours before we came down from our high. As our orgasms started to die off, I leaned in and kissed her sloppily, moaning as I twitched small streams of cum. My balls were a little sore from the exertion, but Umbra must have been exhausted.
Wanting to get comfortable, but not pull out yet, I pulled her leg up some to roll to our sides. Neatly folding her leg against my torso as we embraced, panting and shivering in our afterglow. The most powerful orgasm of my life took all I had, and Umbra must have cum over a dozen times. Our fluids creating a small pool, but I didn’t care. Right now, she was all that existed for me.
“I love you, Umbra, so much…” I whispered to her.
“Absol…” She whispered back, I knew she said, ‘I love you, too,’ I didn’t need a translator for that.
We just looked into each others’ eyes, our bodies still joined, feeling the other’s pulse and breath. I had never felt this level of intimacy before, I never wanted it to end. I smiled and kissed gently at Umbra’s muzzle, tightening our embrace softly.
I ran my hands along her back, letting the fur slip through my fingers. Umbra’s breathing was slowing, letting out a few content noises as she drifted off. My gentle touch traced up her back to her neck, lacing the longer fur and holding her close to me. It was a little too warm, but I didn’t care. My eyelids drifted, started to close as I lied there with Umbra, following her lead in drifting off to sleep.
The morning came and brought a buzzing headache with it. A mild hangover was a small price to pay for last night, I figured. Sitting up slowly, still nude, I looked over and saw Umbra, looking at me with those beautiful eyes of hers. I smiled and leaned to her to embrace her tightly.
“Good morning, Umbra… Last night was amazing, you’re amazing.” I said, earning a loving nuzzle back from her.
“Aaaab.” She stretched while saying something, getting up and off the bed.
Umbra was a little wobbly but maintained composure as she treaded softly into the bathroom, turning the water on. A shower sounded great, rising and following suit. Upon entering the already steamy room, I was greeted by a surprising sensation.
Looking down, I shuddered as Umbra took my entire flaccid cock into her muzzle and suckled it, as if nursing on me. Needless to say, I didn’t stay flaccid for long. I guess she was more sexual than I originally gave her credit for. Even if she wasn’t, I love her so much. Can’t say I’m complaining, this will be the best chapter in our lives, yet!
