  "writing": "[b][i]Stonehaven Mountain Pathway, Noon[/i][/b]\n\n“[b][i]Sleep…[/i][/b]”\nBass and Ara shuddered internally as the command wormed its way through them harmlessly. They slowly turned back to see Frost’s confused face quickly become blank. His eyes began to stare through the two pokemon. He began to slowly lower his head and close his eyes. “Mmmn~ Nnngh~…”\nTeam Fulcrum watched in silence as some parts of the Weavile’s body writhed slightly in resistance but went still all the same. The only thing that moved was the rise and fall of his chest. A smile began appearing on his face as a dream seemed to occupy his mind…\n“He looks so cute like that~!” Ara smiled happily and began walking towards the sleeping pokemon. She began slowly loading Frost onto her back.\nBass reciprocated the smile “W-Well done Tzel… Would have been nice to have a warning though…”\nThe Lurantis looked to the side of the path with a guilty frown. “Forgive me… I-I’m still not the best with my Talent…”\nAra waved off the bug type as she began walking along the path again. “Don’t sweat it Tzel! Your old man may make it seem easy, but I can easily see how hard it is to properly target with it.”\nBass chuckled a bit and shrugged as he followed suit. “Well Ara, I think it’s pretty obvious we all suck with aiming our Talents to be fair.”\n“True that! I still remember that time when your Talent made everyon- ”\nIn almost an instant, a low hum reverberated around the bird pokemon. She looked back to see Bass’s face darkened in disgust. She would have shivered at the normally timid and soft-spoken Toxtricity if she hadn’t already seen a sight like this hundreds of times before. All that was missing was him to-\n“[b][i]SHUT… UP…[/i][/b]”\nOn command, the whole environment became devoid of sound. Only the electric-type’s now vibrating scales were the only things producing sounds. Both Tzel and Ara would shake a bit, but Ara seemed determined to continue the reference.\nThe Staraptor continued her snarky story in the muted sound to the very last part. Bass didn’t need to hear a single word. He was already a master at reading lips. Even then, that was unnecessary because he already knew Ara’s story. A horrid story the Toxtricity long since wanted to be left behind. Alas, his teammates always loved bringing it up in private like this…\n\n[b][i]Stonehaven Mountain Crossway, Noon[/i][/b]\n\nThe void of sound persisted for a while longer. While the Staraptor had long since finished her first story, she then began another harrowing story. This one featured Tzel as her new target. Bass was quick to uphold his Talent for his partner’s sake. Despite the grass pokemon’s reassurance that they didn’t care as much about the story, Bass couldn’t let it be said out loud. What kind of team leader would he be if he did?\nAlas, that would be a question that the Toxtricity would have to think about later… \n“[b][i]AAAAchooo!!![/i][/b]”\nInstantly, the void dissipated, all of the blocked sound flowed through the air freely. Tzel and Frost’s sleeping form recoiled slightly from the burst while Ara continued to finish the final parts of the story.\n“- and then both Pyre and Tzel’s gramps had to calm the whole town for the rest of the day! HAHAHA! Man… I miss those days…” The bird pokemon sighed as she finished her fixation looked up to see her team leader rubbing his nose. “Oh? Are we at Crossway now?”\nBass looked back at her with one eye open. “Y-Yeah…”\nTzel reached into the team’s bag and pulled out a purple berry. They tilted their head in slight curiosity. “It would appear that you have come into contact with one of the plants you’re allergic to Dear Leader.”\n“Yep… Just a good telltale sign that we’re close to our precious mountain…” Bass accepted the berry and began slowly munching on it.\nAra grunted a bit as she walked forwards. Frost stirred slightly, a clear sign that Tzel’s command was weakening. “Speaking of that. Why did you use your Command Talent on him Tzel? I thought we were gonna let him get corrupted naturally through getting closer to the Mountain?”\nBass nodded in agreement. “I’ll admit, I agree with Ara. That was the main reason I was worried about you using your Talent. I thought we were going to do this naturally...”\nTzel looked between the two pokemon with slight confusion. It took them a few minutes to understand the question. Once they did, their eyes widened slightly. “Oh! I do apologize… I didn’t think it needed to be spelled out to you.” The Lurantis solemnly bowed their head. “I ask for your forgiveness Bass and Ara. I have failed you both as a teammate in terms of communication…”\nThe two pokemon chuckled and waved him off.\n“I told you Tzel. Neither of us mind. Just a little bit of a warning is all we need.” Bass finished with a smile while rubbing his nose a bit more.\n“Yeah~! That’s the only thing we need Tzel!” Ara’s eyes lit up as she seemingly got filled with inspiration yet again. “So go on! Tell us! What’s the plan~!?”\nThe Lurantis loosened up a slight bit at their teammate’s words. The neutral and curious eyes they always seemed to have allowed more emotion to seep through. A semblance of a smile began to form on the pokemon’s face. “T-Th… I thank you both. I am so grateful you allowed me to join this team.” Tzel cleared their voice and narrowed their eyes. “Like we all stated, we want to “help” the Weavile by making him succumb to his corruption much faster…”\nBass and Ara nodded slowly.\n“… So, though it will be a slight gamble, I propose that we follow these actions…”\n\n[b][i]Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Afternoon[/i][/b]\n\nAs team Fulcrum walked into the clearing, they wordlessly got into their positions. Bass took the time to look around and confirm the absence of other Investigation Teams. Not that it would have mattered much, having the halls that said teams use to prepare themselves to complete or receive requests be emptied of distractions was pretty helpful.\n“Are you finished surveying Leader?” Tzel looked at Bass with their signature tilted head.\nBass turned back and nodded. “Everyone’s at their jobs now. We’re alone…”\n“AWESOME!” Ara squawked loud and ferally, her eyes practically glowing with excitement. Acting out and following through always made her heart race and this was no different. She planned to play this [b]perfectly…[/b]\nNot surprisingly, the unconscious Weavile stirred at the loud sound. His body became more awake, gaining more resolve to fight against the Command that was still pressing down on him. “Mmmph~… Mrrrfph~… Hnn~…”\nTzel studied Frost’s sleeping form for a bit before looking up at Bass. “Bass. Your humming is needed…”\nThe Toxitricity raised an eyebrow. “Huh? Why?”\nTzel looked to the side and blushed. “This is actually my first time saying an opposite command to someone…”\n“I thought you’ve done that before?”\n“Any other time I had said another command before saying an opposite command. Father taught me to do that because that’s what he had to do when he was learning… He can now do without. Me however…”\nAra calmed down slightly to give the blushing grass type and wholesome smile. “Daww~ You don’t feel confident Tzel~?”\nThe Lurantis looked down at the ground. “N-No… I don’t…”\nBass chuckled causing Tzel’s eyes to dart back towards him. “Heheh~… You’re this old Tzel and you’re still not confident?”\n“Like I’ve told you… I may have inherited but that doesn't mean I am an expert…”\n“Not a problem at all Tzel! None of us are!” The Toxitricity walked forwards and held his hands to his chest. To any other normal Toxitricity or normal pokemon, it looked like he was going to strum on his chest scales like normal. Instead, Bass inhaled and then clasped his hands. A few long seconds passed… A low hum began to reverberate from him.\nBass held his form for a bit longer. He waited until the hum was a low but prolific beat. Once it reached that tasteful tune, he stared at the sleeping Weavile and exhaled a single word. “[b][i]Disrupt…[/i][/b]”\nAlmost immediately, Frost seemed to shiver. His cock slid slightly out of his sheath as the sound roused him further. His once paralyzed body began to toss and turn. He let out a groaning moan. “Hrrrnng~ Huuuhggh~…”  \nBass smiled at his work before wordlessly looking to Tzel.\nThe Lurantis’s eyes lit up slightly in happiness as he brought one of his pincers over his mouth and cleared his throat… \n“[b][i]… Wake…[/i][/b]”\nThe Weavile woke up with a low hum in his ears. His body struggled as it fought to perform the command while following the previous one. He was noticeably shivering as he slowly began to open his eyes. The sensations caused a moan to slip out of his mouth as he fully opened his eyes. He gazed at the three standing pokemon with complete confusion. “…Huu-Huuh~…? Wh-What happened?”\nTzel couldn’t help but narrow his eyes in pure satisfaction. The poor Weavile looked so lost… And it was only going to get worse for him…\n\n[b][i]Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Preparation Space 2, Afternoon[/i][/b]\n\nFrost stared back at the Toxtricity with resolve. “I’m getting my bag… And I’m leaving…” He then turned to Bass’s teammates. “I thank you all for escorting me this far. I’ll head into the Mystery Dungeon…”\nThe three pokemon looked at each other with… concern? The Weavile couldn’t tell at all. A mix of emotions seemed to be behind all of their faces, barring Tzel. That Lurantis was still a complete mystery to him. Wildcard or not, no pokemon was as mysterious as him. Well, Pyre and Charon would have him slightly beat but they seemed more eccentric than wild. It was as if the pokemon knew more about the topic than he had explained.\nFrost took a chance. “Uuhm… Is there something wrong with my request?”\nBass looked at him with frown before beginning to scratch the back of his head. “Uuh… Y-Yeah actually Frost… T-That can’t happen…”\nThe Weavile raised an eyebrow and tilted his head. “What?”\nAra smiled silently and waved off both Bass and Frost. “While Bass explains me and Tzel are gonna go grab a few extra supplies~!”\nFrost’s confused face turned into a frown. “W-Wait. I thought you had-…” \nBoth the Staraptor and Lurantis seemingly ignored him and split off to separate directions. Bass would walk up to him with a sad smile.\n“Yeah uhm… To keep a long story short, Aegis Mountain isn’t a Mystery Dungeon… N-No part of it actually is…”\nThe Weavile narrowed his eyes. “Oh really…?”\nThe Toxtricity nodded slowly.\n“Then what was the whole request I got sent here for, hm? Care to explain!?” Frost couldn’t stop his irritation from seeping through. He could see the timid leader trying his best to explain to him. But he couldn’t accept just that. [i]I’m fucking CORRUPTED! I don’t need your timid ass not being able to explain anything to me! Spit it out![/i]\nBass visibly recoiled from the harshness. “I-I apologize… I wasn’t trying to invalidate you Frost… I’m just stating the truth…”\nFrost’s fur bristled. He glared deathly at team leader. ““The truth”? The truth!? You mean THE TRUTH THAT THIS WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM!?”\nBass stepped back and began tearing up. “N-No! Let me explain! Please! The Corruption isn’t counted!” \nThe Weavile paused. “Wh-What?”\n“The Corruption… Stonehaven’s corruption… i-it wasn’t always here… Th-The mystical stuff was but the corruption wasn’t one of them…”\nFrost shook his head. “I don’t understand…”\n“Okay, okay…” Bass righted himself and cleared his throat. “So… You know that Investigation Teams were the precursors to Exploration and Rescue Teams right?”\n“Yeah?”\n“The reason why the change even happened was because corruption appeared and infected everything… It changed everything. It wasn’t about just understanding the mysticism anymore. You had to actually defend yourself now…” Bass’s eyes widened as he realized what he said. “Uhh. Well. Defend yourself from mystical things now. Pokemon already knew how to defend themselves physically. Err… You understand what I’m saying, right? Anyways, having you sent here was no sham or scam or anything bad! What I’m saying is that the only “Mystery Dungeon” you’re ever going to see is if we ever mishandle a Corruption Stone…”\nFrost stood still, taking the time to absorb all of the information. [i]I didn’t even know it went that deep… So Corruption isn’t even mystical or mysterious. It’s some other third thing…[/i] The Weavile couldn’t stop the many new questions he had from popping into his mind… What is that third thing? How did the Corruption even appear? Why did it mutate pokemon? Why hasn’t any other researcher said anything of the sort?\nBass warily took a step towards the dark type. “… S-So you see Frost… Aegis Mountain has no Mystery Dungeons that you can fight your way through… What is does have is- ”\n“OOOH! MOUNTAIN OF AEGIS~! SO TALL AND BEAUTIFUL~! WITH SECRETS UNHEARD OF TO THE SMARTEST AND DULL~! FOR THE DEEPER WE GO~! THE MORE WE KNOW~! INVESTIGATOR TEAMS UNITE~! STEEL YOUR MINDS~! FOR THERE’S NO GREATER ENEMY THAN THE KIND TO BEND YOUR MIND~!”\nBass’s and Frost’s eyes darted to the origin of the sound to find Ara happily flapping back to them with a somewhat filled bag nestled under wing. The Staraptor was the liveliest thing Frost had ever seen. She looked like a hyperactive baby pokemon with how she practically bounded to them.\n“OOOH~! WAAA~! OOOH~! COME ON BASS! YOU AND TZEL NEED TO HELP ME WITH THIS!!!”\nThe Toxtricity merely laughed while Tzel came back with a smile and a full bag as well.\n“[i]We would help you Ara. But you missed a whole verse. Polis would be very unhappy…[/i]”\nInstantly, the bird pokemon’s joyous shouting changed is fervent crying. “BAAAAHH!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT!? THAT’S JUST MEAN!!!”\n“Hehehe… It’s a bit mean Ara but Tzel is right. Polis would be very unhappy for you missing that verse…”\nAra merely continued her crying while Tzel began walking to what looked like the entrance of the mountain. Bass would soon follow suit, beckoning a hand to Frost.\nThe Weavile looked between the three with confusion but silently followed. [i]Just ignore it Frost… Every team has their references…[/i] He couldn’t help but smile after thinking that. A few references and jokes from his own team began to play in his own head. [i]Yeah… Back when we weren’t trying to only be the best…[/i] Soon the memories turned melancholy, and he found himself right back to the very mission that put him in this place. He let out an audible sigh. “[i]Whatever…[/i]”\nBass looked over to the Weavile. “Hmm? What was that?”\nFrost was pulled out of his thoughts and looked back at him. “Huh? Oh… It’s nothing… I’m just… thinking about how I’m gonna have to report back to my team after this… It’s also almost been 48 hours so I’ll need to send a Mail back to them to log my progress…”\n“Ahh… I forgot you Exploration Teams have to constantly check-in…”\n“Yeah… It’s a pain… My team is at least generous enough to make it 48 hours. I know there’s some that require daily or even bi-daily reports.”\nBass shook his head. “I’ll never understand you Explorers…”\n\n[b][i]Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Aegis Labyrinth Entrance, ???[/i]\nBass glanced at Frost one last time. Tzel stood nearby, choosing to return to their usual staring at something completely unrelated to the current objective. Meanwhile, Ara remained in the preparation space with her somewhat comedic bawling still being clearly heard from the area.\n“So, this the real Aegis Mountain huh Bass?” Frost returned the Toxtricity’s gaze with a smirk of his own.\nBass smiled at the Weavile’s now positive demeanor. “Indeed… Ready to be escorted?”\n“Tch~ That’s what I am now?”\nThe Toxtricity only smiled wider. “Well yeah. You’re out of your element… This is our territory. You would do the same if was anyone of us no?”\nFrost merely rolled his eyes and then looked back at the silhouette of Ara. He couldn’t stop a slight chuckle from escaping him. “Heh… And what about your teammate crying over there? They don’t seem to be fit to escort me…”\nBass merely laughed. “Hehehe~ Th-That’s just Ara… She’s fine. The best part about investigating phenomena like this is that not everyone in the party needs to be ready to enter at the same time.”\nUpon saying that, Tzel would stop his mind wandering to look at his leader. “[i]Now that you mention it Dear Leader, I think it would be good for our Escort to have a Ward…[/i]”\nBass’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh crud! You’re right Tzel! I-I almost forgot!”\nFrost frowned. “What?”\nBass scratched the back of his head. “Uhmm… W-Well… So you know how you Explorers and Rescuers have badges with mystical properties? Like… Teleport stuff?\n“Do you have similar?”\n“[i]Technically… it is a precursor…[/i]” Tzel went back to looking at random things that weren’t the entrance.\nBass would smile in his stead. “Yeah, just like what Tzel said. Our Wards were first. They protect us from most low level weird stuff and mitigates some potentially bad stuff…” The Toxtricity would raise his hand to his left ear. With a slight tug, a small yet bright shimmer appeared. “All Investigators get an Earring Ward like this. And Escorts like you get…”\n“This lovely bracelet~!”\nFrost gasped as he felt himself pinned to the ground. “G-Gaah! Oowww!” He looked up to see a smiling Staraptor holding his left arm with one talon and an intricately etched bracelet in her mouth.\nBass chuckled and scratched his cheek. “Heh~ Maybe give him a bit of a warning next time?”\n“Y-Yeah! Would have really appreciated that Ara.”\nThe Staraptor seemed completely unbothered. “Aah it’s fine~ New question! You don’t mind having blood drawn do you?”\nFrost’s eyes widened. “Wait. Wha-AAAHHH!”\nThe Weavile struggled under Ara’s tense grip as he felt three sharp needles embed themselves deep into his skin. The warm pain only continued until the bracelet glowed with the same intensity.\n“F-Fuuuck… Oow that hurts…”\n“Yeeep~! It hurts like a Ferroseed buried itself inside ya! But it’s a necessary evil!”\nFrost opened his cringed eyes. Ara was now no longer pinning, choosing to stand nearby harmlessly. The Weavile couldn’t help but frown. “Is it really though?”\n“Yes actually! Some of the things you can meet here are much worse than the pain that bracelet gave you!”\nBass nodded his head slowly. “P-Plus, now you have a keepsake~… It’s yours permanently. No one but you can wear it…” \nThe Weavile frowned at him before slowly heaving himself upright. He found himself slightly unsteady and lightheaded. [i]Is… Is this just the blood draw or…[/i]\nFrost eyes widened as he found himself being caught by… Tzel? “H-Huuh?”\nTzel merely stared at him with a mysterious face. “[i]Reminder… We need you alive to claim your bag… For that is our Request from Chief…[/i]”\nThe Weavile’s head still felt heavy, but he managed to slowly right himself.\nBass nodded with sincerity. “Yeah. And just like that, Team Fulcrum, our Investigation into the Weavile known as Frost’s bag officially begins! Ara you take point and scout.”\nThe Staraptor smirked and wordlessly took off deep into the entrance.\nThe Toxtricity then turned back to Tzel and Frost. “Tzel, you’re responsible for protecting our Escort. Lead him through the Labyrinth carefully and prevent any misfortune from coming to him.\nTzel’s eyes narrowed in an ominous seriousness. He bowed. “[i]As you command Dear Leader…[/i]”\n“Oh and Frost!”\nThe Weavile flicked his ears and turned in slow acknowledgement. “Y-Yeah?” He was slightly surprised to see the Toxtricity with a semi-authoritative face. [i]He looks like he’s in his element now… Heh. Reminds me of Ghon…[/i]\n“I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, Aegis Mountain isn’t a Mystery Dungeon. It is a challenging labyrinth with mystical obstacles combined with things that act adjacent to Pokemon while not actually being them. Be wary and cautious. Your moves may not have the effects you think they do against them.”\nFrost shook his head to clear his mind. He gave the team leader a resolute nod. “Understood. I’ll put my trust in you and your team.”\nBass gave him a smile before waving off Tzel and disappearing into the Labyrinth cave himself. Tzel held Frost tightly for almost a minute before releasing.\n“[i]Leader should be far enough in… Safely we go…[/i]”\nThe Weavile looked up at the Lurantis. “I just got one question for you Tzel…”\nThe Lurantis tilted his head in acknowledgement. “[i]… Yes?[/i]”\n“If Aegis Mountain is a labyrinth or maze, how you will know where my bag is?”\nFrost quickly began to shiver as he felt something uneasy scratching at the back of his mind from Tzel’s odd “smile”.\n“[i]Simply trust us Dear Weavile... Team Fulcrum has never failed to help anyone…[/i]”\nThe Weavile gulped slightly as he was prodded forwards by the Lurantis.\nDown both of them went. Descending into the mountain…\n\n[b][i]Aegis Mountain, Aegis Labyrinth, ???[/i][/b]\n\nFrost and Tzel quickly caught up with the other two pokemon. The cave halls were aligned with lightly lit crystals at various intervals and intersections. Several areas were etched in seemingly disabled runes.\nFrost looked to one that caught his eye. It looked… vaguely familiar… He couldn’t stop himself from walking towards it. Comforting voices began whispering to him. [i]W-Why does this feel… similar too-[/i] “G-Gahhh!”\nThe Weavile yelped as he found himself wrapped in the firm grasp of pincers. Tzel looked down on him with disappointment. “[i]We have only just entered, and you wish to be taken so soon…[/i]”\nBass looked back curiously at the two. “Hey! He can touch those Tzel. Me and Ara already disabled many of them in this area. Plus Ara has already found traces…”\n“[i]… I see…[/i]” The Lurantis immediately loosened his grip, causing Frost to fall onto one of the sigils.\n“O-Owww…” The Weavile winced as his face and hands impacted the rocky floor. Thankfully, there was a bright light below him… A very bright light… He felt his vision shift slightly to a color similar to it… [i]I-It feels so… warm…[/i]\nEverything around Frost grew distant as he gazed deeper into the sigil. A cute little voice began to massage the back of his mind. [b][i]Masters… w-where are my Masters…?[/i][/b]\nPart of him wanted to question the voice further. [i]What Masters? W-Who are you cutie~?[/i]\n[b][i]I-I’m I-[/i][/b]\n“FROST! WAKE UP!”\n“HHuuh~? HHnng~!? HHUUUHH!!” Frost’s eyes shot wide open as he found himself staring up at all of Team Fulcrum looking down at him with slight terror on all of their faces. “Wha-What happened!?” He couldn’t help but moan as he felt his erection be on full display. “Wh-Why a-am I hard?”\nBass looked away guiltily. “I-I guess I didn’t disable that hypnosis trap correctly…”\nTzel would cover his mouth and tilt his head in sadness. “[i]And I let you fall into it…[/i]”\n“It was an error on both of our parts… We almost lost you.”\nThe Weavile felt embarrassed and confused. “Wh-What was all of that that I just saw?”\nBass shrugged. “No idea what you saw in the trap. It hypnotizes everyone differently…”\nAra puffed up herself proudly. “Just be glad we stopped you from masturbating. That trap locks you into that vision forever and causes you to cum infinitely. Each time you do, you permanently lose your memories and sense of self…”\n“[i]You truly become a denizen of Aegis Mountain… Lost eternally…[/i]”\nBass nodded at Tzel “Correct. We saved you from a gruesome fate.”\nAra immediately got into Frost’s face. “Speaking of “fate”!” She then helped up lay up and look towards a clearing. There, in the center of seemingly nothing, laid a peculiar bag.\nFrost immediately smiled at the sight. “MY BAG! You all did!”\nAra cheered with him. “HELL YEAH WE DID! WE’RE TEAM FULCRUM WE NEVER FAIL TO HELP ANOTHER POKEMON!”\nThe Staraptor helped Frost stand on his feet again. The Weavile would nod in thanks.\n“So uuh… Is this path cleared?”\nBass smirked. “Yep! I made deathly sure this time!”\nFrost’s eyes widened in shock as Ara finally frowned in a new emotion he never seen the Staraptor have… She looked… disappointed.\n“Yeah~… Just in case, I think we should all go with him just in case…” She then seemed to glare at Tzel. “ANND~ I think I should escort him there this time…”\nBass frowned while Tzel merely shrugged.\n“[i]Dearest Leader… It appears we have messed up so badly that our teammate does not trust us…[/i]”\n“Y-Yeah… Seems so…”\nAra raised an eyebrow. “And why should I? You two almost cost us this whole mission! Imagine if Guildmaster or the Chiefs found out what happened to our esteemed guest! Well be dead!” She shook in fear at the visage of an angered Typhlosion, Kecleon and Emolga staring down at her. She gulped as she envisioned being helplessly buried as a corpse in the town’s graveyard.\nFrost chuckled. “Heh… I think Guildmaster Pyre and Chief Charon and Chief Sparks are a bit nicer than that…”\nThe Staraptor quickly turned back to the Weavile in terror. “No… You don’t get it Frost… Our punishments here are much more… [b][i]severe…[/i][/b]” She shivered for a few more seconds, losing a few feathers in the process. “ANYWAYS~ Let’s go get your bag!”\nThe Weavile merely smiled at her and allowed himself to be lead on. Bass and Tzel followed close behind.\nIt took a bit to reach the clearing, at least, that’s what Frost thought. Time seemed to be slowing down more and more the closer he got. The voices in his head began to come back. [i]E-Everything… W-Why do I feel so… heavy?[/i]\nHe forced himself to continue walking… He was in the clearing now… There were no runes or traps that weren’t greyed out already… He smelled something… [b][i]hot and savory…[/i][/b] His mouth began to water… He felt his cock become hard again… He felt his breathing shiver, yet he only became [b][i]warmer…[/i][/b]\n[i][b]Warmer…\nEven Warmer…\nCloser…\nCome closer…\nLet yourself go…\nLet your inhibitions slide away…\nLet your worries dissipate…\nLet me keep you safe…\nLet Icy take your place…[/b]\nW-Wait… Wh-Wha-[/i] “AAAAHHH!” Frost shot open his eyes to find himself suspended in the air, his bag laying untouched right below him. The support of Ara was long gone, replaced by… “T-TENTACLES~!? WH-WHAT IS THIS!?” Writhing tentacles were now wrapped around his torso and legs.\n“It’s your reward~!”\nFrost darted his eyes to see a jovial smiling Staraptor flapping at eye level with him. “A-Ara! Wh-What do you mean!? What’s happening!?”\n“Your Request is being fulfilled silly~! Team Fulcrum is returning your bag back to you!”\nThe Weavile glared at her in anger. “I’m pretty sure I didn’t ask to get wrapped up in magical tentacles!”\n“Of course you didn’t Frost! Icy did!”\nFrost froze at the name. He craned his neck down to see Bass smiling wickedly at him. Tzel wore a more curious face but shared the same malice. All of the memories rushed back to him. He was trapped in Charon’s room and forced under a hypnotic spell to rewrite his mind! Then he was sent out with this team. He only grew more furious. [i]This was never about my Bag! They’re trying to turn me into some kind of sex slave![/i] “YOU! YOU ALL PLANNED THIS DIDN’T YOU!” Those thoughts weren’t enough. He had to hear it from someone real. Who’s to say he wasn’t hypnotized to think something like this to confuse him further? “TELL ME! ONE OF YOU TELL ME!”\nTzel tilted his head and let his eyes wander. His quiet-speaking sounded so loud to him now… “[b][i]Team Fulcrum’s Request… Giver: Chief of Stonehaven’s Guild and General Commerce Charon the Kecleon… Mission Request: Assist in helping Icy obtain his lost Exploration Team Bag and feed Frost directly to the Corruption of Aegis Labyrinth…[/i][/b]”\nFrost’s eyes widened in terror at how nonchalantly the Lurantis spoke. His entrapment and doom was a mere minor thing. “H-How long have you all been doing this!?”\nBass and Ara would laugh heartily. The Toxtricity with continue is evil smile. “Hehehehe~! I’m glad you asked Frost! To rip the bandage off, Team Fulcrum is a special variant of an Investigation Team that’s unique to Stonehaven. We focus on investigating mishaps with Worker Pets specifically… You could call us, the Veterinarians…”\n“As soon as we saw you walk in without your Masters Zen and Kol we could tell that you weren’t acting appropriately…” The Staraptor got very close to Frost, in perfect Ice Punch range… “Don’t worry though~ Soon all that will be left is a lust-drunk Pet who will be taken back to his Masters and set back down the right path~”\n The more the Weavile heard the angrier he got. He filled both of his claws with subzero ice. ““The right path” you say… “THE RIGHT PATH” YOU SAY!?” He pressed his claws around the coiled tentacles, freezing them over almost instantly. With just the slightest bit of force, he shattered the now brittle tendrils and aimed himself at the Staraptor. “I’LL RIGHT YOUR DEGENERATE FACES!”\nAra remained still, choosing to let the attack happen she kept her cruel smile on her face the whole time.\n“[b][i]Freeze…[/i][/b]”\nAs the falling Weavile was mere inches away from making contact with the smug bird, he felt all of his body seize up. Suddenly felt cold. Too cold! His strike fell short, as did he. “Ufff…!” He crashed onto the ground and slowly curled into a ball. [i]C-Cold…[/i] “W-What did y-you do to me?”\nThough the Weavile glared at the devious Lurantis, Bass would answer. “Just a simple command that Tzel knows. He’s quite the persuasive grass type huh? Let me guess. Being part ice, this is your first time feeling true cold huh?”\nFrost grimaced at the Toxtricity. It was true, being an ice type made one very resilient against the cold. Most of the time the Weavile couldn’t even feel if it was cold. But this… This was something else… It was bitter, stifling… If he wasn’t laying on the floor he would have thought he was succumbing to hypothermia in the middle of a desolate artic… [i]D-Damn it…[/i]\nAra landed near the paralyzed and shivering pokemon and tilted her head down with a… polite smile? “Ya know, for all it’s worth…” She then placed her talon on his Ward bracelet and began sliding it off. “I did kind of like ya Frost… I’m incredibly envious that you’ve got to see the world and triumph a lot with your Exploration Team. Becoming an S-Rank is no easy feat at all… Having so many pokemon look up to you and respect you for your interests~…” She looked away and began to blush. “… Makes a girl like me so jealous… Here in Stonehaven everyone already knows you from someone so one’s name being held as legendary is less powerful here… But that’s all fine~! I still love it here! I did grow up here and met the love of my life right here!” She gave the Weavile a loving smile. “… So… to end my little speech, on behalf of Bass, Tzel, and myself, all of Team Fulcrum… Farwell Frost… It was nice to adventure with you…” The Staraptor then fully removed the bracelet and fluttered near her teammates.\nFrost only watched in fury and horror as he watched the Investigation Team begin to turn and walk away. He badly attempted to reach out his seemingly frozen arm in desperation “N-No! N-No…” [i]Don’t go… Don’t leave me here… I-I don’t want to be…\n[b]Warm…\nCome…\nEmbrace our warmth…[/b][/i]\nThe Weavile whimpered slightly as he felt new tentacles wrap around him. They felt much tighter with their coils and so much [b][i]warmer…[/i][/b] “Hnnng~”\n[b][i]We won’t hurt you…\nWe just want to help you find peace…[/i][/b]\nFrost said nothing, becoming even more mentally drained the more tendrils coiled around him. He watched helplessly as they separated his arms and splayed out his legs. No part of him could be hidden any longer. He whimpered as he witnessed a smaller tendril wrap around his knotted and barbed member. “Mmmph~ Aaafh~… W-Warm…”\n[b][i]Warmer…\nWe’ll make you warmer…[/i][/b]\nThe Weavile could have sworn the room was shifting colors… A beautiful all too familiar purple hue glowed from everywhere… He felt pulled towards it…\n[b][i]Yes…\nCloser…\nCome closer…\nCome…\nAnd…\nSink…[/i][/b]\nFrost moaned loudly as he felt his cock shoot out a massive load of cum. “OOOhhh~ Aaaah~ F-Fuuuck~…” He humped feverishly into the tendril, treating it as the worthy hole of a mate he knew… Who were they again?\n[b][i]One…\nNot enough…\nMore…\nMust have more…[/i][/b]\n“Moore… M-Must haaave mooore~…” He smiled happily as more tentacles seemed to appear. One aligned itself his backside and another with his face. Some part of him was screaming to not… Screaming that he shouldn’t…\n[b][i]Let your inhibitions fade…\nBecome warmer…[/i][/b]\nFrost shivered as the voice felt closer to him. [i]I-It wants to h-help me… [b]Warmer… F-Frost wants to be warmer…[/b][/i]\nWithout a second thought, the tentacle near his ass spread his anal ring wide as it plunged as deep as it could.\n“AAAHAH~ GGGHH~ Y-Yeeesss~…” His semi-opened mouth beckoned the tendril in front of him closer. He felt so [b][i]warm… Another will make me warmer…[/i][/b]\nHe opened his mouth and accepted the invader. It wasted no time filling his maw. He felt a warm liquid begin to trickle down his throat… All the while the purple hue grew more pronounced…\n[i]It’s so beautiful… L-Let me… [b]Sink…[/b][/i]\nFrost clenched onto the invading tendrils as his cock released more cum. He smiled dumbly… [i]W-Was that my second?[/i]\n[b][i]Do not count…\nThere is no need…\nTime is irrelevant…\nCounting is irrelevant…\nPleasure and warmth…\nThat is all that matters…\nYes… That’s all that matters to Frost… [/i][/b]The Weavile left the thought behind and prepared for his next glorious orgasm…\nHe leaned into the tentacle pounding his prostate. Never before had the Weavile felt something so amazing! [b][i]But I have! Icy was trained to feel this…[/i][/b]\nIcy smiled even dumber… [b][i]Icy loves this so much~…[/i][/b] “Mmmph~ Wnnng~!”\n[b][i]Can Icy go for longer…?[/i][/b]\nThe Weavile nodded slowly. [b][i]Icy can go on forever… Icy is a good Pet… He loves being corrupted like this…[/i][/b]\nThe voice seemed pleased. [b][i]Good… Cum Icy… Let us cum together…\nWh-What about Frost?[/i][/b]\nThe voice purred with satisfaction. [b][i]Frost has Sank… He is not Frost…\nYou are Icy…[/i][/b]\nThe Weavile purred in happiness. Yes, it was true… Frost never existed… It was only Icy… Icy the Weavile… Icy the Worker Pet… Icy…\n[b][i]Icy… Pet of Master Zendus and Kollack…[/i][/b]\nIcy shivered as he felt the tentacles dig into him deep. A warm, lovely liquid began pulsing from them, filling the Weavile. He watched in pure bliss as a bulge began to form on his stomach.\n[b][i]Icy is filled… I-Icy wants to cum too… C-Can Icy cum?[/i][/b]\nThe voice was pleased. [b][i]Pets always ask… Icy has asked… Icy will continue to cum…[/i][/b]\nImmediately, a wave of pleasure sent Icy over the edge. “MMMMggh~! MMmMMPH~!” He felt everything fade away as his cock splurted a massive geyser of cum from him. His bulged body and the tentacles coiled around him were coated a beautiful white. He felt so complete… yet incomplete…\n[b][i]AGAIN! AGAIN! ICY WANTS TO GO AGAIN! DRAIN HIM! MAKE HIM YOURS![/i][/b]\nThe voice chuckled. [b][i]You are already owned Icy… I cannot do what must be done by your Masters… But I shall pleasure you for a while longer…[/i][/b]\nIcy smiled happily as the tentacles in his ass and mouth began moving again. He felt the pleasure immediately surge in him again, taking a bit more of his mind with it… He felt so light… So full… So… [b][i]Warm…\nAnd he too…\nAlso Sank…\nBut…\nUnlike Frost…\nI won’t keep him…\nUnlike Frost, you have Masters waiting for you Icy…\nSo…\nYou may…\nRise…\nMy beautiful future Worker of Aegis Mountain…[/i][/b]\n\n[b][i]???, ???[/i][/b] \n \nFrost sighed with a relieved smile… He felt so free and relaxed… Everything was perfect…\n“Hehehe~ Enjoying your pleasure nap Frost?”\nThe Weavile flicked his ear in slight annoyance. Though the voice sounded familiar, he never appreciated answering the calls of those who were trying to wake him up. Bandhollow or not, he wasn’t ever going to answer them. [i]Wait… Bandhollow accent?[/i]\n“Leave him alone Ashley… He just Sank. Let him enjoy himself.”\n[i]Th-Those voices… N-No way… Ashley… Impossible…[/i] Frost creaked his eyes open to find a slender silhouette standing above him. Shock grew over his face as the figure above him came into focus.\nStanding above him was a smiling Heliolisk with noticeable scar across her right cheek. \n“A-Ashley? Ashley from Team Sunshine!?”\n“Heya Frosty buddy~! Long time no see!”\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><em>Stonehaven Mountain Pathway, Noon</em></strong><br /><br />&ldquo;<strong><em>Sleep&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />Bass and Ara shuddered internally as the command wormed its way through them harmlessly. They slowly turned back to see Frost&rsquo;s confused face quickly become blank. His eyes began to stare through the two pokemon. He began to slowly lower his head and close his eyes. &ldquo;Mmmn~ Nnngh~&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Team Fulcrum watched in silence as some parts of the Weavile&rsquo;s body writhed slightly in resistance but went still all the same. The only thing that moved was the rise and fall of his chest. A smile began appearing on his face as a dream seemed to occupy his mind&hellip;<br />&ldquo;He looks so cute like that~!&rdquo; Ara smiled happily and began walking towards the sleeping pokemon. She began slowly loading Frost onto her back.<br />Bass reciprocated the smile &ldquo;W-Well done Tzel&hellip; Would have been nice to have a warning though&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Lurantis looked to the side of the path with a guilty frown. &ldquo;Forgive me&hellip; I-I&rsquo;m still not the best with my Talent&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ara waved off the bug type as she began walking along the path again. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t sweat it Tzel! Your old man may make it seem easy, but I can easily see how hard it is to properly target with it.&rdquo;<br />Bass chuckled a bit and shrugged as he followed suit. &ldquo;Well Ara, I think it&rsquo;s pretty obvious we all suck with aiming our Talents to be fair.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;True that! I still remember that time when your Talent made everyon- &rdquo;<br />In almost an instant, a low hum reverberated around the bird pokemon. She looked back to see Bass&rsquo;s face darkened in disgust. She would have shivered at the normally timid and soft-spoken Toxtricity if she hadn&rsquo;t already seen a sight like this hundreds of times before. All that was missing was him to-<br />&ldquo;<strong><em>SHUT&hellip; UP&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />On command, the whole environment became devoid of sound. Only the electric-type&rsquo;s now vibrating scales were the only things producing sounds. Both Tzel and Ara would shake a bit, but Ara seemed determined to continue the reference.<br />The Staraptor continued her snarky story in the muted sound to the very last part. Bass didn&rsquo;t need to hear a single word. He was already a master at reading lips. Even then, that was unnecessary because he already knew Ara&rsquo;s story. A horrid story the Toxtricity long since wanted to be left behind. Alas, his teammates always loved bringing it up in private like this&hellip;<br /><br /><strong><em>Stonehaven Mountain Crossway, Noon</em></strong><br /><br />The void of sound persisted for a while longer. While the Staraptor had long since finished her first story, she then began another harrowing story. This one featured Tzel as her new target. Bass was quick to uphold his Talent for his partner&rsquo;s sake. Despite the grass pokemon&rsquo;s reassurance that they didn&rsquo;t care as much about the story, Bass couldn&rsquo;t let it be said out loud. What kind of team leader would he be if he did?<br />Alas, that would be a question that the Toxtricity would have to think about later&hellip; <br />&ldquo;<strong><em>AAAAchooo!!!</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />Instantly, the void dissipated, all of the blocked sound flowed through the air freely. Tzel and Frost&rsquo;s sleeping form recoiled slightly from the burst while Ara continued to finish the final parts of the story.<br />&ldquo;- and then both Pyre and Tzel&rsquo;s gramps had to calm the whole town for the rest of the day! HAHAHA! Man&hellip; I miss those days&hellip;&rdquo; The bird pokemon sighed as she finished her fixation looked up to see her team leader rubbing his nose. &ldquo;Oh? Are we at Crossway now?&rdquo;<br />Bass looked back at her with one eye open. &ldquo;Y-Yeah&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Tzel reached into the team&rsquo;s bag and pulled out a purple berry. They tilted their head in slight curiosity. &ldquo;It would appear that you have come into contact with one of the plants you&rsquo;re allergic to Dear Leader.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yep&hellip; Just a good telltale sign that we&rsquo;re close to our precious mountain&hellip;&rdquo; Bass accepted the berry and began slowly munching on it.<br />Ara grunted a bit as she walked forwards. Frost stirred slightly, a clear sign that Tzel&rsquo;s command was weakening. &ldquo;Speaking of that. Why did you use your Command Talent on him Tzel? I thought we were gonna let him get corrupted naturally through getting closer to the Mountain?&rdquo;<br />Bass nodded in agreement. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll admit, I agree with Ara. That was the main reason I was worried about you using your Talent. I thought we were going to do this naturally...&rdquo;<br />Tzel looked between the two pokemon with slight confusion. It took them a few minutes to understand the question. Once they did, their eyes widened slightly. &ldquo;Oh! I do apologize&hellip; I didn&rsquo;t think it needed to be spelled out to you.&rdquo; The Lurantis solemnly bowed their head. &ldquo;I ask for your forgiveness Bass and Ara. I have failed you both as a teammate in terms of communication&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The two pokemon chuckled and waved him off.<br />&ldquo;I told you Tzel. Neither of us mind. Just a little bit of a warning is all we need.&rdquo; Bass finished with a smile while rubbing his nose a bit more.<br />&ldquo;Yeah~! That&rsquo;s the only thing we need Tzel!&rdquo; Ara&rsquo;s eyes lit up as she seemingly got filled with inspiration yet again. &ldquo;So go on! Tell us! What&rsquo;s the plan~!?&rdquo;<br />The Lurantis loosened up a slight bit at their teammate&rsquo;s words. The neutral and curious eyes they always seemed to have allowed more emotion to seep through. A semblance of a smile began to form on the pokemon&rsquo;s face. &ldquo;T-Th&hellip; I thank you both. I am so grateful you allowed me to join this team.&rdquo; Tzel cleared their voice and narrowed their eyes. &ldquo;Like we all stated, we want to &ldquo;help&rdquo; the Weavile by making him succumb to his corruption much faster&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Bass and Ara nodded slowly.<br />&ldquo;&hellip; So, though it will be a slight gamble, I propose that we follow these actions&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br /><strong><em>Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Afternoon</em></strong><br /><br />As team Fulcrum walked into the clearing, they wordlessly got into their positions. Bass took the time to look around and confirm the absence of other Investigation Teams. Not that it would have mattered much, having the halls that said teams use to prepare themselves to complete or receive requests be emptied of distractions was pretty helpful.<br />&ldquo;Are you finished surveying Leader?&rdquo; Tzel looked at Bass with their signature tilted head.<br />Bass turned back and nodded. &ldquo;Everyone&rsquo;s at their jobs now. We&rsquo;re alone&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;AWESOME!&rdquo; Ara squawked loud and ferally, her eyes practically glowing with excitement. Acting out and following through always made her heart race and this was no different. She planned to play this <strong>perfectly&hellip;</strong><br />Not surprisingly, the unconscious Weavile stirred at the loud sound. His body became more awake, gaining more resolve to fight against the Command that was still pressing down on him. &ldquo;Mmmph~&hellip; Mrrrfph~&hellip; Hnn~&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Tzel studied Frost&rsquo;s sleeping form for a bit before looking up at Bass. &ldquo;Bass. Your humming is needed&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Toxitricity raised an eyebrow. &ldquo;Huh? Why?&rdquo;<br />Tzel looked to the side and blushed. &ldquo;This is actually my first time saying an opposite command to someone&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I thought you&rsquo;ve done that before?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Any other time I had said another command before saying an opposite command. Father taught me to do that because that&rsquo;s what he had to do when he was learning&hellip; He can now do without. Me however&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ara calmed down slightly to give the blushing grass type and wholesome smile. &ldquo;Daww~ You don&rsquo;t feel confident Tzel~?&rdquo;<br />The Lurantis looked down at the ground. &ldquo;N-No&hellip; I don&rsquo;t&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Bass chuckled causing Tzel&rsquo;s eyes to dart back towards him. &ldquo;Heheh~&hellip; You&rsquo;re this old Tzel and you&rsquo;re still not confident?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Like I&rsquo;ve told you&hellip; I may have inherited but that doesn&#039;t mean I am an expert&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Not a problem at all Tzel! None of us are!&rdquo; The Toxitricity walked forwards and held his hands to his chest. To any other normal Toxitricity or normal pokemon, it looked like he was going to strum on his chest scales like normal. Instead, Bass inhaled and then clasped his hands. A few long seconds passed&hellip; A low hum began to reverberate from him.<br />Bass held his form for a bit longer. He waited until the hum was a low but prolific beat. Once it reached that tasteful tune, he stared at the sleeping Weavile and exhaled a single word. &ldquo;<strong><em>Disrupt&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />Almost immediately, Frost seemed to shiver. His cock slid slightly out of his sheath as the sound roused him further. His once paralyzed body began to toss and turn. He let out a groaning moan. &ldquo;Hrrrnng~ Huuuhggh~&hellip;&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Bass smiled at his work before wordlessly looking to Tzel.<br />The Lurantis&rsquo;s eyes lit up slightly in happiness as he brought one of his pincers over his mouth and cleared his throat&hellip; <br />&ldquo;<strong><em>&hellip; Wake&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />The Weavile woke up with a low hum in his ears. His body struggled as it fought to perform the command while following the previous one. He was noticeably shivering as he slowly began to open his eyes. The sensations caused a moan to slip out of his mouth as he fully opened his eyes. He gazed at the three standing pokemon with complete confusion. &ldquo;&hellip;Huu-Huuh~&hellip;? Wh-What happened?&rdquo;<br />Tzel couldn&rsquo;t help but narrow his eyes in pure satisfaction. The poor Weavile looked so lost&hellip; And it was only going to get worse for him&hellip;<br /><br /><strong><em>Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Preparation Space 2, Afternoon</em></strong><br /><br />Frost stared back at the Toxtricity with resolve. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting my bag&hellip; And I&rsquo;m leaving&hellip;&rdquo; He then turned to Bass&rsquo;s teammates. &ldquo;I thank you all for escorting me this far. I&rsquo;ll head into the Mystery Dungeon&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The three pokemon looked at each other with&hellip; concern? The Weavile couldn&rsquo;t tell at all. A mix of emotions seemed to be behind all of their faces, barring Tzel. That Lurantis was still a complete mystery to him. Wildcard or not, no pokemon was as mysterious as him. Well, Pyre and Charon would have him slightly beat but they seemed more eccentric than wild. It was as if the pokemon knew more about the topic than he had explained.<br />Frost took a chance. &ldquo;Uuhm&hellip; Is there something wrong with my request?&rdquo;<br />Bass looked at him with frown before beginning to scratch the back of his head. &ldquo;Uuh&hellip; Y-Yeah actually Frost&hellip; T-That can&rsquo;t happen&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Weavile raised an eyebrow and tilted his head. &ldquo;What?&rdquo;<br />Ara smiled silently and waved off both Bass and Frost. &ldquo;While Bass explains me and Tzel are gonna go grab a few extra supplies~!&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s confused face turned into a frown. &ldquo;W-Wait. I thought you had-&hellip;&rdquo; <br />Both the Staraptor and Lurantis seemingly ignored him and split off to separate directions. Bass would walk up to him with a sad smile.<br />&ldquo;Yeah uhm&hellip; To keep a long story short, Aegis Mountain isn&rsquo;t a Mystery Dungeon&hellip; N-No part of it actually is&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Weavile narrowed his eyes. &ldquo;Oh really&hellip;?&rdquo;<br />The Toxtricity nodded slowly.<br />&ldquo;Then what was the whole request I got sent here for, hm? Care to explain!?&rdquo; Frost couldn&rsquo;t stop his irritation from seeping through. He could see the timid leader trying his best to explain to him. But he couldn&rsquo;t accept just that. <em>I&rsquo;m fucking CORRUPTED! I don&rsquo;t need your timid ass not being able to explain anything to me! Spit it out!</em><br />Bass visibly recoiled from the harshness. &ldquo;I-I apologize&hellip; I wasn&rsquo;t trying to invalidate you Frost&hellip; I&rsquo;m just stating the truth&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s fur bristled. He glared deathly at team leader. &ldquo;&ldquo;The truth&rdquo;? The truth!? You mean THE TRUTH THAT THIS WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM!?&rdquo;<br />Bass stepped back and began tearing up. &ldquo;N-No! Let me explain! Please! The Corruption isn&rsquo;t counted!&rdquo; <br />The Weavile paused. &ldquo;Wh-What?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;The Corruption&hellip; Stonehaven&rsquo;s corruption&hellip; i-it wasn&rsquo;t always here&hellip; Th-The mystical stuff was but the corruption wasn&rsquo;t one of them&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost shook his head. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t understand&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Okay, okay&hellip;&rdquo; Bass righted himself and cleared his throat. &ldquo;So&hellip; You know that Investigation Teams were the precursors to Exploration and Rescue Teams right?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yeah?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;The reason why the change even happened was because corruption appeared and infected everything&hellip; It changed everything. It wasn&rsquo;t about just understanding the mysticism anymore. You had to actually defend yourself now&hellip;&rdquo; Bass&rsquo;s eyes widened as he realized what he said. &ldquo;Uhh. Well. Defend yourself from mystical things now. Pokemon already knew how to defend themselves physically. Err&hellip; You understand what I&rsquo;m saying, right? Anyways, having you sent here was no sham or scam or anything bad! What I&rsquo;m saying is that the only &ldquo;Mystery Dungeon&rdquo; you&rsquo;re ever going to see is if we ever mishandle a Corruption Stone&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost stood still, taking the time to absorb all of the information. <em>I didn&rsquo;t even know it went that deep&hellip; So Corruption isn&rsquo;t even mystical or mysterious. It&rsquo;s some other third thing&hellip;</em> The Weavile couldn&rsquo;t stop the many new questions he had from popping into his mind&hellip; What is that third thing? How did the Corruption even appear? Why did it mutate pokemon? Why hasn&rsquo;t any other researcher said anything of the sort?<br />Bass warily took a step towards the dark type. &ldquo;&hellip; S-So you see Frost&hellip; Aegis Mountain has no Mystery Dungeons that you can fight your way through&hellip; What is does have is- &rdquo;<br />&ldquo;OOOH! MOUNTAIN OF AEGIS~! SO TALL AND BEAUTIFUL~! WITH SECRETS UNHEARD OF TO THE SMARTEST AND DULL~! FOR THE DEEPER WE GO~! THE MORE WE KNOW~! INVESTIGATOR TEAMS UNITE~! STEEL YOUR MINDS~! FOR THERE&rsquo;S NO GREATER ENEMY THAN THE KIND TO BEND YOUR MIND~!&rdquo;<br />Bass&rsquo;s and Frost&rsquo;s eyes darted to the origin of the sound to find Ara happily flapping back to them with a somewhat filled bag nestled under wing. The Staraptor was the liveliest thing Frost had ever seen. She looked like a hyperactive baby pokemon with how she practically bounded to them.<br />&ldquo;OOOH~! WAAA~! OOOH~! COME ON BASS! YOU AND TZEL NEED TO HELP ME WITH THIS!!!&rdquo;<br />The Toxtricity merely laughed while Tzel came back with a smile and a full bag as well.<br />&ldquo;<em>We would help you Ara. But you missed a whole verse. Polis would be very unhappy&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />Instantly, the bird pokemon&rsquo;s joyous shouting changed is fervent crying. &ldquo;BAAAAHH!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT!? THAT&rsquo;S JUST MEAN!!!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Hehehe&hellip; It&rsquo;s a bit mean Ara but Tzel is right. Polis would be very unhappy for you missing that verse&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ara merely continued her crying while Tzel began walking to what looked like the entrance of the mountain. Bass would soon follow suit, beckoning a hand to Frost.<br />The Weavile looked between the three with confusion but silently followed. <em>Just ignore it Frost&hellip; Every team has their references&hellip;</em> He couldn&rsquo;t help but smile after thinking that. A few references and jokes from his own team began to play in his own head. <em>Yeah&hellip; Back when we weren&rsquo;t trying to only be the best&hellip;</em> Soon the memories turned melancholy, and he found himself right back to the very mission that put him in this place. He let out an audible sigh. &ldquo;<em>Whatever&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />Bass looked over to the Weavile. &ldquo;Hmm? What was that?&rdquo;<br />Frost was pulled out of his thoughts and looked back at him. &ldquo;Huh? Oh&hellip; It&rsquo;s nothing&hellip; I&rsquo;m just&hellip; thinking about how I&rsquo;m gonna have to report back to my team after this&hellip; It&rsquo;s also almost been 48 hours so I&rsquo;ll need to send a Mail back to them to log my progress&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Ahh&hellip; I forgot you Exploration Teams have to constantly check-in&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yeah&hellip; It&rsquo;s a pain&hellip; My team is at least generous enough to make it 48 hours. I know there&rsquo;s some that require daily or even bi-daily reports.&rdquo;<br />Bass shook his head. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll never understand you Explorers&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br /><strong><em>Aegis Mountain Investigation Post C, Aegis Labyrinth Entrance, ???</em><br />Bass glanced at Frost one last time. Tzel stood nearby, choosing to return to their usual staring at something completely unrelated to the current objective. Meanwhile, Ara remained in the preparation space with her somewhat comedic bawling still being clearly heard from the area.<br />&ldquo;So, this the real Aegis Mountain huh Bass?&rdquo; Frost returned the Toxtricity&rsquo;s gaze with a smirk of his own.<br />Bass smiled at the Weavile&rsquo;s now positive demeanor. &ldquo;Indeed&hellip; Ready to be escorted?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Tch~ That&rsquo;s what I am now?&rdquo;<br />The Toxtricity only smiled wider. &ldquo;Well yeah. You&rsquo;re out of your element&hellip; This is our territory. You would do the same if was anyone of us no?&rdquo;<br />Frost merely rolled his eyes and then looked back at the silhouette of Ara. He couldn&rsquo;t stop a slight chuckle from escaping him. &ldquo;Heh&hellip; And what about your teammate crying over there? They don&rsquo;t seem to be fit to escort me&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Bass merely laughed. &ldquo;Hehehe~ Th-That&rsquo;s just Ara&hellip; She&rsquo;s fine. The best part about investigating phenomena like this is that not everyone in the party needs to be ready to enter at the same time.&rdquo;<br />Upon saying that, Tzel would stop his mind wandering to look at his leader. &ldquo;<em>Now that you mention it Dear Leader, I think it would be good for our Escort to have a Ward&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />Bass&rsquo;s eyes widened in shock. &ldquo;Oh crud! You&rsquo;re right Tzel! I-I almost forgot!&rdquo;<br />Frost frowned. &ldquo;What?&rdquo;<br />Bass scratched the back of his head. &ldquo;Uhmm&hellip; W-Well&hellip; So you know how you Explorers and Rescuers have badges with mystical properties? Like&hellip; Teleport stuff?<br />&ldquo;Do you have similar?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;<em>Technically&hellip; it is a precursor&hellip;</em>&rdquo; Tzel went back to looking at random things that weren&rsquo;t the entrance.<br />Bass would smile in his stead. &ldquo;Yeah, just like what Tzel said. Our Wards were first. They protect us from most low level weird stuff and mitigates some potentially bad stuff&hellip;&rdquo; The Toxtricity would raise his hand to his left ear. With a slight tug, a small yet bright shimmer appeared. &ldquo;All Investigators get an Earring Ward like this. And Escorts like you get&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;This lovely bracelet~!&rdquo;<br />Frost gasped as he felt himself pinned to the ground. &ldquo;G-Gaah! Oowww!&rdquo; He looked up to see a smiling Staraptor holding his left arm with one talon and an intricately etched bracelet in her mouth.<br />Bass chuckled and scratched his cheek. &ldquo;Heh~ Maybe give him a bit of a warning next time?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Y-Yeah! Would have really appreciated that Ara.&rdquo;<br />The Staraptor seemed completely unbothered. &ldquo;Aah it&rsquo;s fine~ New question! You don&rsquo;t mind having blood drawn do you?&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s eyes widened. &ldquo;Wait. Wha-AAAHHH!&rdquo;<br />The Weavile struggled under Ara&rsquo;s tense grip as he felt three sharp needles embed themselves deep into his skin. The warm pain only continued until the bracelet glowed with the same intensity.<br />&ldquo;F-Fuuuck&hellip; Oow that hurts&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yeeep~! It hurts like a Ferroseed buried itself inside ya! But it&rsquo;s a necessary evil!&rdquo;<br />Frost opened his cringed eyes. Ara was now no longer pinning, choosing to stand nearby harmlessly. The Weavile couldn&rsquo;t help but frown. &ldquo;Is it really though?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yes actually! Some of the things you can meet here are much worse than the pain that bracelet gave you!&rdquo;<br />Bass nodded his head slowly. &ldquo;P-Plus, now you have a keepsake~&hellip; It&rsquo;s yours permanently. No one but you can wear it&hellip;&rdquo; <br />The Weavile frowned at him before slowly heaving himself upright. He found himself slightly unsteady and lightheaded. <em>Is&hellip; Is this just the blood draw or&hellip;</em><br />Frost eyes widened as he found himself being caught by&hellip; Tzel? &ldquo;H-Huuh?&rdquo;<br />Tzel merely stared at him with a mysterious face. &ldquo;<em>Reminder&hellip; We need you alive to claim your bag&hellip; For that is our Request from Chief&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />The Weavile&rsquo;s head still felt heavy, but he managed to slowly right himself.<br />Bass nodded with sincerity. &ldquo;Yeah. And just like that, Team Fulcrum, our Investigation into the Weavile known as Frost&rsquo;s bag officially begins! Ara you take point and scout.&rdquo;<br />The Staraptor smirked and wordlessly took off deep into the entrance.<br />The Toxtricity then turned back to Tzel and Frost. &ldquo;Tzel, you&rsquo;re responsible for protecting our Escort. Lead him through the Labyrinth carefully and prevent any misfortune from coming to him.<br />Tzel&rsquo;s eyes narrowed in an ominous seriousness. He bowed. &ldquo;<em>As you command Dear Leader&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Oh and Frost!&rdquo;<br />The Weavile flicked his ears and turned in slow acknowledgement. &ldquo;Y-Yeah?&rdquo; He was slightly surprised to see the Toxtricity with a semi-authoritative face. <em>He looks like he&rsquo;s in his element now&hellip; Heh. Reminds me of Ghon&hellip;</em><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve said it before, but I&rsquo;ll say it again, Aegis Mountain isn&rsquo;t a Mystery Dungeon. It is a challenging labyrinth with mystical obstacles combined with things that act adjacent to Pokemon while not actually being them. Be wary and cautious. Your moves may not have the effects you think they do against them.&rdquo;<br />Frost shook his head to clear his mind. He gave the team leader a resolute nod. &ldquo;Understood. I&rsquo;ll put my trust in you and your team.&rdquo;<br />Bass gave him a smile before waving off Tzel and disappearing into the Labyrinth cave himself. Tzel held Frost tightly for almost a minute before releasing.<br />&ldquo;<em>Leader should be far enough in&hellip; Safely we go&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />The Weavile looked up at the Lurantis. &ldquo;I just got one question for you Tzel&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Lurantis tilted his head in acknowledgement. &ldquo;<em>&hellip; Yes?</em>&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;If Aegis Mountain is a labyrinth or maze, how you will know where my bag is?&rdquo;<br />Frost quickly began to shiver as he felt something uneasy scratching at the back of his mind from Tzel&rsquo;s odd &ldquo;smile&rdquo;.<br />&ldquo;<em>Simply trust us Dear Weavile... Team Fulcrum has never failed to help anyone&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />The Weavile gulped slightly as he was prodded forwards by the Lurantis.<br />Down both of them went. Descending into the mountain&hellip;<br /><br /><strong><em>Aegis Mountain, Aegis Labyrinth, ???</em></strong><br /><br />Frost and Tzel quickly caught up with the other two pokemon. The cave halls were aligned with lightly lit crystals at various intervals and intersections. Several areas were etched in seemingly disabled runes.<br />Frost looked to one that caught his eye. It looked&hellip; vaguely familiar&hellip; He couldn&rsquo;t stop himself from walking towards it. Comforting voices began whispering to him. <em>W-Why does this feel&hellip; similar too-</em> &ldquo;G-Gahhh!&rdquo;<br />The Weavile yelped as he found himself wrapped in the firm grasp of pincers. Tzel looked down on him with disappointment. &ldquo;<em>We have only just entered, and you wish to be taken so soon&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />Bass looked back curiously at the two. &ldquo;Hey! He can touch those Tzel. Me and Ara already disabled many of them in this area. Plus Ara has already found traces&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;<em>&hellip; I see&hellip;</em>&rdquo; The Lurantis immediately loosened his grip, causing Frost to fall onto one of the sigils.<br />&ldquo;O-Owww&hellip;&rdquo; The Weavile winced as his face and hands impacted the rocky floor. Thankfully, there was a bright light below him&hellip; A very bright light&hellip; He felt his vision shift slightly to a color similar to it&hellip; <em>I-It feels so&hellip; warm&hellip;</em><br />Everything around Frost grew distant as he gazed deeper into the sigil. A cute little voice began to massage the back of his mind. <strong><em>Masters&hellip; w-where are my Masters&hellip;?</em></strong><br />Part of him wanted to question the voice further. <em>What Masters? W-Who are you cutie~?</em><br /><strong><em>I-I&rsquo;m I-</em></strong><br />&ldquo;FROST! WAKE UP!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;HHuuh~? HHnng~!? HHUUUHH!!&rdquo; Frost&rsquo;s eyes shot wide open as he found himself staring up at all of Team Fulcrum looking down at him with slight terror on all of their faces. &ldquo;Wha-What happened!?&rdquo; He couldn&rsquo;t help but moan as he felt his erection be on full display. &ldquo;Wh-Why a-am I hard?&rdquo;<br />Bass looked away guiltily. &ldquo;I-I guess I didn&rsquo;t disable that hypnosis trap correctly&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Tzel would cover his mouth and tilt his head in sadness. &ldquo;<em>And I let you fall into it&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;It was an error on both of our parts&hellip; We almost lost you.&rdquo;<br />The Weavile felt embarrassed and confused. &ldquo;Wh-What was all of that that I just saw?&rdquo;<br />Bass shrugged. &ldquo;No idea what you saw in the trap. It hypnotizes everyone differently&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ara puffed up herself proudly. &ldquo;Just be glad we stopped you from masturbating. That trap locks you into that vision forever and causes you to cum infinitely. Each time you do, you permanently lose your memories and sense of self&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;<em>You truly become a denizen of Aegis Mountain&hellip; Lost eternally&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />Bass nodded at Tzel &ldquo;Correct. We saved you from a gruesome fate.&rdquo;<br />Ara immediately got into Frost&rsquo;s face. &ldquo;Speaking of &ldquo;fate&rdquo;!&rdquo; She then helped up lay up and look towards a clearing. There, in the center of seemingly nothing, laid a peculiar bag.<br />Frost immediately smiled at the sight. &ldquo;MY BAG! You all did!&rdquo;<br />Ara cheered with him. &ldquo;HELL YEAH WE DID! WE&rsquo;RE TEAM FULCRUM WE NEVER FAIL TO HELP ANOTHER POKEMON!&rdquo;<br />The Staraptor helped Frost stand on his feet again. The Weavile would nod in thanks.<br />&ldquo;So uuh&hellip; Is this path cleared?&rdquo;<br />Bass smirked. &ldquo;Yep! I made deathly sure this time!&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s eyes widened in shock as Ara finally frowned in a new emotion he never seen the Staraptor have&hellip; She looked&hellip; disappointed.<br />&ldquo;Yeah~&hellip; Just in case, I think we should all go with him just in case&hellip;&rdquo; She then seemed to glare at Tzel. &ldquo;ANND~ I think I should escort him there this time&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Bass frowned while Tzel merely shrugged.<br />&ldquo;<em>Dearest Leader&hellip; It appears we have messed up so badly that our teammate does not trust us&hellip;</em>&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Y-Yeah&hellip; Seems so&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ara raised an eyebrow. &ldquo;And why should I? You two almost cost us this whole mission! Imagine if Guildmaster or the Chiefs found out what happened to our esteemed guest! Well be dead!&rdquo; She shook in fear at the visage of an angered Typhlosion, Kecleon and Emolga staring down at her. She gulped as she envisioned being helplessly buried as a corpse in the town&rsquo;s graveyard.<br />Frost chuckled. &ldquo;Heh&hellip; I think Guildmaster Pyre and Chief Charon and Chief Sparks are a bit nicer than that&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Staraptor quickly turned back to the Weavile in terror. &ldquo;No&hellip; You don&rsquo;t get it Frost&hellip; Our punishments here are much more&hellip; <strong><em>severe&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo; She shivered for a few more seconds, losing a few feathers in the process. &ldquo;ANYWAYS~ Let&rsquo;s go get your bag!&rdquo;<br />The Weavile merely smiled at her and allowed himself to be lead on. Bass and Tzel followed close behind.<br />It took a bit to reach the clearing, at least, that&rsquo;s what Frost thought. Time seemed to be slowing down more and more the closer he got. The voices in his head began to come back. <em>E-Everything&hellip; W-Why do I feel so&hellip; heavy?</em><br />He forced himself to continue walking&hellip; He was in the clearing now&hellip; There were no runes or traps that weren&rsquo;t greyed out already&hellip; He smelled something&hellip; <strong><em>hot and savory&hellip;</em></strong> His mouth began to water&hellip; He felt his cock become hard again&hellip; He felt his breathing shiver, yet he only became <strong><em>warmer&hellip;</em></strong><br /><em><strong>Warmer&hellip;<br />Even Warmer&hellip;<br />Closer&hellip;<br />Come closer&hellip;<br />Let yourself go&hellip;<br />Let your inhibitions slide away&hellip;<br />Let your worries dissipate&hellip;<br />Let me keep you safe&hellip;<br />Let Icy take your place&hellip;</strong><br />W-Wait&hellip; Wh-Wha-</em> &ldquo;AAAAHHH!&rdquo; Frost shot open his eyes to find himself suspended in the air, his bag laying untouched right below him. The support of Ara was long gone, replaced by&hellip; &ldquo;T-TENTACLES~!? WH-WHAT IS THIS!?&rdquo; Writhing tentacles were now wrapped around his torso and legs.<br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s your reward~!&rdquo;<br />Frost darted his eyes to see a jovial smiling Staraptor flapping at eye level with him. &ldquo;A-Ara! Wh-What do you mean!? What&rsquo;s happening!?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Your Request is being fulfilled silly~! Team Fulcrum is returning your bag back to you!&rdquo;<br />The Weavile glared at her in anger. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m pretty sure I didn&rsquo;t ask to get wrapped up in magical tentacles!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Of course you didn&rsquo;t Frost! Icy did!&rdquo;<br />Frost froze at the name. He craned his neck down to see Bass smiling wickedly at him. Tzel wore a more curious face but shared the same malice. All of the memories rushed back to him. He was trapped in Charon&rsquo;s room and forced under a hypnotic spell to rewrite his mind! Then he was sent out with this team. He only grew more furious. <em>This was never about my Bag! They&rsquo;re trying to turn me into some kind of sex slave!</em> &ldquo;YOU! YOU ALL PLANNED THIS DIDN&rsquo;T YOU!&rdquo; Those thoughts weren&rsquo;t enough. He had to hear it from someone real. Who&rsquo;s to say he wasn&rsquo;t hypnotized to think something like this to confuse him further? &ldquo;TELL ME! ONE OF YOU TELL ME!&rdquo;<br />Tzel tilted his head and let his eyes wander. His quiet-speaking sounded so loud to him now&hellip; &ldquo;<strong><em>Team Fulcrum&rsquo;s Request&hellip; Giver: Chief of Stonehaven&rsquo;s Guild and General Commerce Charon the Kecleon&hellip; Mission Request: Assist in helping Icy obtain his lost Exploration Team Bag and feed Frost directly to the Corruption of Aegis Labyrinth&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s eyes widened in terror at how nonchalantly the Lurantis spoke. His entrapment and doom was a mere minor thing. &ldquo;H-How long have you all been doing this!?&rdquo;<br />Bass and Ara would laugh heartily. The Toxtricity with continue is evil smile. &ldquo;Hehehehe~! I&rsquo;m glad you asked Frost! To rip the bandage off, Team Fulcrum is a special variant of an Investigation Team that&rsquo;s unique to Stonehaven. We focus on investigating mishaps with Worker Pets specifically&hellip; You could call us, the Veterinarians&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;As soon as we saw you walk in without your Masters Zen and Kol we could tell that you weren&rsquo;t acting appropriately&hellip;&rdquo; The Staraptor got very close to Frost, in perfect Ice Punch range&hellip; &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry though~ Soon all that will be left is a lust-drunk Pet who will be taken back to his Masters and set back down the right path~&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;The more the Weavile heard the angrier he got. He filled both of his claws with subzero ice. &ldquo;&ldquo;The right path&rdquo; you say&hellip; &ldquo;THE RIGHT PATH&rdquo; YOU SAY!?&rdquo; He pressed his claws around the coiled tentacles, freezing them over almost instantly. With just the slightest bit of force, he shattered the now brittle tendrils and aimed himself at the Staraptor. &ldquo;I&rsquo;LL RIGHT YOUR DEGENERATE FACES!&rdquo;<br />Ara remained still, choosing to let the attack happen she kept her cruel smile on her face the whole time.<br />&ldquo;<strong><em>Freeze&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />As the falling Weavile was mere inches away from making contact with the smug bird, he felt all of his body seize up. Suddenly felt cold. Too cold! His strike fell short, as did he. &ldquo;Ufff&hellip;!&rdquo; He crashed onto the ground and slowly curled into a ball. <em>C-Cold&hellip;</em> &ldquo;W-What did y-you do to me?&rdquo;<br />Though the Weavile glared at the devious Lurantis, Bass would answer. &ldquo;Just a simple command that Tzel knows. He&rsquo;s quite the persuasive grass type huh? Let me guess. Being part ice, this is your first time feeling true cold huh?&rdquo;<br />Frost grimaced at the Toxtricity. It was true, being an ice type made one very resilient against the cold. Most of the time the Weavile couldn&rsquo;t even feel if it was cold. But this&hellip; This was something else&hellip; It was bitter, stifling&hellip; If he wasn&rsquo;t laying on the floor he would have thought he was succumbing to hypothermia in the middle of a desolate artic&hellip; <em>D-Damn it&hellip;</em><br />Ara landed near the paralyzed and shivering pokemon and tilted her head down with a&hellip; polite smile? &ldquo;Ya know, for all it&rsquo;s worth&hellip;&rdquo; She then placed her talon on his Ward bracelet and began sliding it off. &ldquo;I did kind of like ya Frost&hellip; I&rsquo;m incredibly envious that you&rsquo;ve got to see the world and triumph a lot with your Exploration Team. Becoming an S-Rank is no easy feat at all&hellip; Having so many pokemon look up to you and respect you for your interests~&hellip;&rdquo; She looked away and began to blush. &ldquo;&hellip; Makes a girl like me so jealous&hellip; Here in Stonehaven everyone already knows you from someone so one&rsquo;s name being held as legendary is less powerful here&hellip; But that&rsquo;s all fine~! I still love it here! I did grow up here and met the love of my life right here!&rdquo; She gave the Weavile a loving smile. &ldquo;&hellip; So&hellip; to end my little speech, on behalf of Bass, Tzel, and myself, all of Team Fulcrum&hellip; Farwell Frost&hellip; It was nice to adventure with you&hellip;&rdquo; The Staraptor then fully removed the bracelet and fluttered near her teammates.<br />Frost only watched in fury and horror as he watched the Investigation Team begin to turn and walk away. He badly attempted to reach out his seemingly frozen arm in desperation &ldquo;N-No! N-No&hellip;&rdquo; <em>Don&rsquo;t go&hellip; Don&rsquo;t leave me here&hellip; I-I don&rsquo;t want to be&hellip;<br /><strong>Warm&hellip;<br />Come&hellip;<br />Embrace our warmth&hellip;</strong></em><br />The Weavile whimpered slightly as he felt new tentacles wrap around him. They felt much tighter with their coils and so much <strong><em>warmer&hellip;</em></strong> &ldquo;Hnnng~&rdquo;<br /><strong><em>We won&rsquo;t hurt you&hellip;<br />We just want to help you find peace&hellip;</em></strong><br />Frost said nothing, becoming even more mentally drained the more tendrils coiled around him. He watched helplessly as they separated his arms and splayed out his legs. No part of him could be hidden any longer. He whimpered as he witnessed a smaller tendril wrap around his knotted and barbed member. &ldquo;Mmmph~ Aaafh~&hellip; W-Warm&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><strong><em>Warmer&hellip;<br />We&rsquo;ll make you warmer&hellip;</em></strong><br />The Weavile could have sworn the room was shifting colors&hellip; A beautiful all too familiar purple hue glowed from everywhere&hellip; He felt pulled towards it&hellip;<br /><strong><em>Yes&hellip;<br />Closer&hellip;<br />Come closer&hellip;<br />Come&hellip;<br />And&hellip;<br />Sink&hellip;</em></strong><br />Frost moaned loudly as he felt his cock shoot out a massive load of cum. &ldquo;OOOhhh~ Aaaah~ F-Fuuuck~&hellip;&rdquo; He humped feverishly into the tendril, treating it as the worthy hole of a mate he knew&hellip; Who were they again?<br /><strong><em>One&hellip;<br />Not enough&hellip;<br />More&hellip;<br />Must have more&hellip;</em></strong><br />&ldquo;Moore&hellip; M-Must haaave mooore~&hellip;&rdquo; He smiled happily as more tentacles seemed to appear. One aligned itself his backside and another with his face. Some part of him was screaming to not&hellip; Screaming that he shouldn&rsquo;t&hellip;<br /><strong><em>Let your inhibitions fade&hellip;<br />Become warmer&hellip;</em></strong><br />Frost shivered as the voice felt closer to him. <em>I-It wants to h-help me&hellip; <strong>Warmer&hellip; F-Frost wants to be warmer&hellip;</strong></em><br />Without a second thought, the tentacle near his ass spread his anal ring wide as it plunged as deep as it could.<br />&ldquo;AAAHAH~ GGGHH~ Y-Yeeesss~&hellip;&rdquo; His semi-opened mouth beckoned the tendril in front of him closer. He felt so <strong><em>warm&hellip; Another will make me warmer&hellip;</em></strong><br />He opened his mouth and accepted the invader. It wasted no time filling his maw. He felt a warm liquid begin to trickle down his throat&hellip; All the while the purple hue grew more pronounced&hellip;<br /><em>It&rsquo;s so beautiful&hellip; L-Let me&hellip; <strong>Sink&hellip;</strong></em><br />Frost clenched onto the invading tendrils as his cock released more cum. He smiled dumbly&hellip; <em>W-Was that my second?</em><br /><strong><em>Do not count&hellip;<br />There is no need&hellip;<br />Time is irrelevant&hellip;<br />Counting is irrelevant&hellip;<br />Pleasure and warmth&hellip;<br />That is all that matters&hellip;<br />Yes&hellip; That&rsquo;s all that matters to Frost&hellip; </em></strong>The Weavile left the thought behind and prepared for his next glorious orgasm&hellip;<br />He leaned into the tentacle pounding his prostate. Never before had the Weavile felt something so amazing! <strong><em>But I have! Icy was trained to feel this&hellip;</em></strong><br />Icy smiled even dumber&hellip; <strong><em>Icy loves this so much~&hellip;</em></strong> &ldquo;Mmmph~ Wnnng~!&rdquo;<br /><strong><em>Can Icy go for longer&hellip;?</em></strong><br />The Weavile nodded slowly. <strong><em>Icy can go on forever&hellip; Icy is a good Pet&hellip; He loves being corrupted like this&hellip;</em></strong><br />The voice seemed pleased. <strong><em>Good&hellip; Cum Icy&hellip; Let us cum together&hellip;<br />Wh-What about Frost?</em></strong><br />The voice purred with satisfaction. <strong><em>Frost has Sank&hellip; He is not Frost&hellip;<br />You are Icy&hellip;</em></strong><br />The Weavile purred in happiness. Yes, it was true&hellip; Frost never existed&hellip; It was only Icy&hellip; Icy the Weavile&hellip; Icy the Worker Pet&hellip; Icy&hellip;<br /><strong><em>Icy&hellip; Pet of Master Zendus and Kollack&hellip;</em></strong><br />Icy shivered as he felt the tentacles dig into him deep. A warm, lovely liquid began pulsing from them, filling the Weavile. He watched in pure bliss as a bulge began to form on his stomach.<br /><strong><em>Icy is filled&hellip; I-Icy wants to cum too&hellip; C-Can Icy cum?</em></strong><br />The voice was pleased. <strong><em>Pets always ask&hellip; Icy has asked&hellip; Icy will continue to cum&hellip;</em></strong><br />Immediately, a wave of pleasure sent Icy over the edge. &ldquo;MMMMggh~! MMmMMPH~!&rdquo; He felt everything fade away as his cock splurted a massive geyser of cum from him. His bulged body and the tentacles coiled around him were coated a beautiful white. He felt so complete&hellip; yet incomplete&hellip;<br /><strong><em>AGAIN! AGAIN! ICY WANTS TO GO AGAIN! DRAIN HIM! MAKE HIM YOURS!</em></strong><br />The voice chuckled. <strong><em>You are already owned Icy&hellip; I cannot do what must be done by your Masters&hellip; But I shall pleasure you for a while longer&hellip;</em></strong><br />Icy smiled happily as the tentacles in his ass and mouth began moving again. He felt the pleasure immediately surge in him again, taking a bit more of his mind with it&hellip; He felt so light&hellip; So full&hellip; So&hellip; <strong><em>Warm&hellip;<br />And he too&hellip;<br />Also Sank&hellip;<br />But&hellip;<br />Unlike Frost&hellip;<br />I won&rsquo;t keep him&hellip;<br />Unlike Frost, you have Masters waiting for you Icy&hellip;<br />So&hellip;<br />You may&hellip;<br />Rise&hellip;<br />My beautiful future Worker of Aegis Mountain&hellip;</em></strong><br /><br /><strong><em>???, ???</em></strong> <br />&nbsp;<br />Frost sighed with a relieved smile&hellip; He felt so free and relaxed&hellip; Everything was perfect&hellip;<br />&ldquo;Hehehe~ Enjoying your pleasure nap Frost?&rdquo;<br />The Weavile flicked his ear in slight annoyance. Though the voice sounded familiar, he never appreciated answering the calls of those who were trying to wake him up. Bandhollow or not, he wasn&rsquo;t ever going to answer them. <em>Wait&hellip; Bandhollow accent?</em><br />&ldquo;Leave him alone Ashley&hellip; He just Sank. Let him enjoy himself.&rdquo;<br /><em>Th-Those voices&hellip; N-No way&hellip; Ashley&hellip; Impossible&hellip;</em> Frost creaked his eyes open to find a slender silhouette standing above him. Shock grew over his face as the figure above him came into focus.<br />Standing above him was a smiling Heliolisk with noticeable scar across her right cheek. <br />&ldquo;A-Ashley? Ashley from Team Sunshine!?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Heya Frosty buddy~! Long time no see!&rdquo;<br /></strong></span>",
