  "writing": "[b][i]Corrupted Depths, Malparadise[/i][/b]\n\nThe Weavile felt his vision shift… That smug yet curious face of the Absol in front of him… That face was always there, peering deep into him… From the moment he had first appeared around the brush… [i]T-Those eyes…[/i]\nFrost couldn’t help himself. He dropped his guard and widened his eyes. He stared in shock as a single word came to him through all of his memories. “… L-Lotus?”\nThe Absol smiled wider. His eyes then began to glow. “Close Weavile~… You can call me Fhalmic.”\n“Fh-Fhalmic…” Frost peered at the details in the Absol’s glowing eyes before his mind finally pieced itself back together. He would look up in slight shock. “Y-You’re from the northern regions…”\nFhalmic nodded. “Indeed…”\nFrost would look down as more thoughts crossed his mind.\nThe Absol would chuckle at the sight. “To answer a few questions I know are going through that naïve head of yours: Yes, I was a part of a mercenary group. I chose the surrounding area of Stonehaven to vacation to. I fell into the town’s corruption trap and was picked up and broken by two charming birds…” He would then blush as his thoughts trailed off slightly.\n“B-Birds…” The Weavile’s eyes widened. “S-Sharp and Flat! I-I knew there was something wrong with them!” He frowned and looked away as the cheerful faces of the bird pokemon flashed in his mind. He scowled. “Hmph… So much for polyamory…”\nFhalmic would chuckle. “Heh~… Such a simplistic mindset…”\nFrost shot a glare at him. “And you can stop being a high-and-mighty ass Northerner…”\nAshley would step between the two pokemon. “Ay! We’re all on the same side here!” She would side-eye the Absol first. “You know how you’re supposed to act Fhalmic…” Her tone merely led to the Absol rolling his eyes with an unbothered look. The Heliolisk seemed to accept it before turning fully to Frost. “What Fhalmic is getting at is that everyone in Stonehaven is the problem…”\nFrost’s face grew blank. “E…Everyone?”\nShe would nod with a sad smile. “Yes… Everyone… from Guildmaster Pyre to even the youngest pokemon… Everyone in this town serves the Corruption.”\nThe Weavile stared at the ground as all of memories flowed through him. [i]Every happy and positive pokemon I’ve seen… The care Zendus and Kollack gave me… Even the respect of Team Fulcrum before they-[/i] He would mentally stop himself before shaking his head. “Everyone in the town is just… a bunch of Corrupted Pokemon who enslave innocent Pokemon…” His face darkened in anger. “Grr… So, everything I’ve done up to this point HAS been a fucking sham!”\nHe couldn’t stop himself from coating his fist in ice and slamming it into the ground. The Ice Punch left a sizeable frozen crater below him. “DAMNIT! F-FUCK!” He glared at Ashley. “The world NEEDS to know about this Ashley!” He stood up with vengeance. “How do I get out of here!?”\nThe other three pokemon stared at him with varying emotions, Ashley gave him a worried frown. Fracture’s smirk dissipated into an odd and nervous chuckle. And Fhalmic…\n“Hehehehe~ I like your thought process Weavile…” His eyes seemed to gleam bright as a proud smirk appeared on his face.\nFrost shook his head. “The least you could do was call me by my name at least…”\nThe Absol rolled his eyes  “Hmph… Fine...” He would then turn around and point himself in a direction. “I happen to know someone here who can help you Frost… Follow…” Without another word, the Absol began padding in said direction. His pace made it clear that he wasn’t going to wait for the Frost’s answer.\nFrost would nod and begin to walk with the pokemon until Ashley stepped in front of him. “Frost! Please… I told you to not fight this…”\nFracture would encircle him from the back. Frost’s eyes would widen at the Houndoom’s ominous frown. “Yeah Frost… No joking this time, from me at least… You shouldn’t bother.”\nThe Heliolisk would grab and hold up the Weavile’s hand. “I know you have a sense of justice Frost. We all do. But… This is different…” She would begin to stare off into the distance before turning back to him. “Accepting your place here is the best outcome… You’ve lost Frost… W-We all have… If you follow Fhalmic, you’re only going to cause yourself more pain and turmoil…”\nFrost frowned at her. “I… I understand Ashley. However, I’m a part of Team Signis. I have to do this…” He stared at her with pure resolve. “I’m not fully corrupted yet, I don’t think I am at least… Either way, the world deserves to know the sins of this place. All of the pokemon who have been enslaved by this place… Even you…”\nAshley gasped slightly as she felt the Weavile take her hand in his. “A member of Bandhollow never gives up… And I’m certainly not giving up now…” She then watched the Weavile turn to follow Fhalmic. All she could do was stare longingly in defeat.\nFracture would pad next to her and shoot her a smile. “Heh~ Like Ricard always said, the two ‘S’s in Team Signis stand for “stubborn” and “stupid” respectively.”\nAshley would shake her head with a smile of her own. “True… He’s in for a harrowing time…”\n“Welp Ash! Some pokemon will only learn when their beaten down and broken hehe~ And Frost certainly fits the bill…”\nThe Heliolisk would nod. “Well, as a researcher, documenting a downfall is also in my repertoire… Let’s go.”\nFracture would nod and begin following her.  \n…\n…\n…\n\n[b][i]Corrupted Depths, Malparadise[/i][/b]\n\nFhalmic would walk over to a particular corner of Malparadise. His proud smile would cause other inhabitants to give way to him and Frost.\nThe Weavile would shake his head at some of the pokemon. “I-I’ve seen some of these pokemon before… So many of them… enslaved…”\nFhalmic would turn back and smirk. “And then comes you. Someone who can still make a difference~. Everyone else here is too Corrupted…” His face would seem to darken. “… among other things…”\nThe Absol would continue walking until he got to a shaded rock wall. He would stop and turn back to Frost. “Here you go Weavile. The wisest pokemon here in Malparadise.” He would step back and let Frost walk forwards.\nFrost would tilt his head in slight confusion as a giant Aggron yawned with boredom. “T-This thin- ”\n“Oy! Worker Pet!”\nFrost’s eyes would widen as the large pokemon looked directly at him. “W-Who- ”\n“Weavile! Worker Pet… Come here…”\nFrost frowned before shooting a side-eye to Fhalmic. The Absol would remain silent, keeping his prideful smile.\n“Ah… So you don’t wanna escape!? Nevermind then…” The Aggron would then shrug and begin to lay back down.\nFrost’s eyes widened. He would hold out his hand in response. “Hold on! W-Wait! I-I didn’t mean to ignore you! I-I- ”\n“BAHAHAHAHA!” The Aggron smiled heartily at him.\nThe Weavile tilted his head. “W-What…?”\nThe Aggron didn’t say anything. Instead, he would heave himself up and begin sauntering towards him.\nFrost gulped and backed up slightly as he felt the steel type get uncomfortably close.\nThe Aggron would look down at him with a questioning face for a few seconds before smiling. “Hmm… Heh! Yeah I know you~… [b][i]Icy~…[/i][/b]”\nFrost felt his heart sink. His breathing became labored. He glared at the large pokemon. The devilish smirk of Charon and his subordinates flashed in his mind. The visual weight of him being trapped in that Kecleon’s chair… The alluring sounds of chuckling…\n[b][i]“Such a good regretful boy~”[/i][/b]\n[b][i]“If you want your reward, you must pay my toll~”[/i][/b]\n[b][i]*DING*-[/i[/b] “D-Don’t call me that! I’m NOT a Pet!” He would yell with a sneer. He panted slightly as wind seemed to become scarce for him.\nThe Aggron leaned back up. His face seemed to darken for a few seconds before a jovial smile overtook him again. He began to chuckle. “Hehehe~. Congrats buddy. You passed!”\nFrost narrowed his eyes and looked to Fhalmic.\nThe Absol’s expression remained the same as he witnessed the whole thing.\n“HAHAHAahaha~!”\nEven more of the steel-type’s laughter would pull Frost’s attention back to him. “What’s… wrong with you?”\n“Hehe~ When you’ve lived here as long as Big G, I’m sure you would be as eccentric as him…”\nFrost looked behind him to find Ashley and Fracture settling on a few rocks further back. The Weavile would primarily look to Fracture, who was the origin of the comment. “You two?” He narrowed his eyes slightly. “You’re still not trying to stop me are you?”\nAshley would smile innocently, completely betraying her initial emotions she first had. “Heh~ We’re just here to observe Frost! You’ve already made up your mind. We’d be foolish to stop you.”\nFrost’s face would soften a bit. This really was the old Ashley he knew. He gave her a nod before turning back to the Aggron. “Well, alright…” The Weavile cleared his throat slightly before standing in a more authoritative pose. “So! “Big G”…”\nUpon his name being said, the Aggron’s laughing fit stopped but his smirk remained. “Hehehe… Yes?”\nFrost’s face would turn stoic. “My acquaintances here say you know a way to get out of this place.”\nA sneezing sound would blast from Fhalmic.\nBig G smiled wider while chuckled. “Hehe~ I believe I do Weavile…” He would then turn around and walk back to his corner briefly. A loud [b][i]*THUD*[/i][/b] would echo from the stomp he made.\nFrost watched in slight wonder as the steel-type’s mini-Earthquake opened a small hole that Big G would reach into.\nAfter a few seconds of grunting the Aggron would pull out a book. “Ahh~! There you are!” He would exclaim proudly. He then turned back towards Frost. “And since you’ve passed the test, I know you can handle this…”\nFrost tilted his head. “What “test”?’\nThe Aggron didn’t answer at first. He would instead turn to Fhalmic and yell out to him with a jovial tone. “Oy! Worker Pet! Come here!”\nAs Frost began to roll his eyes in frustration, Fhalmic would seem to disappear. The sudden movement halted the Weavile’s action as the Absol seemed to reappear on the other side of the Aggron.\nFrost watched in shock Fhalmic’s annoyingly prideful look had completely dissipated and was replaced with an innocent, puppy dog-like face. The Weavile shook his head as images of Lotus’s curious yet innocent face flashed in his mind. “N-No…” Frost hated that he could feel his own voice crack in fear. “No way…”\n“Hahaha! Yes way~…” Big G chuckled and patted the happily panting dark-type as he stared down the fearful Weavile. “I call it the “Worker’s Test”…” The Aggron effortlessly opened and flipped the book he was holding to a specific page before showing to Frost, all with his single free hand. “It’s a simple three phrases which act on the instilled commands a corrupted pokemon gains. It only works on those who can’t control their corruption or are mentally devolved from it… A.k.a-”\n“Worker Pets…” Frost finished. The Weavile stared intensely at the page. “Corruption banks off of primal instincts…”\nThe Aggron nodded. “Yep~ All of these phrases are commands that alert a Pet to be ready to receive commands in the basic sense…” The large steel-type would seamlessly transition to scratching under Fhalmic’s chin gaining a moan from the Absol as he haplessly leaned into the touch. “If you’re too corrupted you’ll involuntarily be brought to by any version of those phrases.”\nFrost would close his eyes as his mind began to make sense of the Aggron’s words. “I see… I understand you now… But… Why did you use my Pet name if I didn’t respond to you the first time?”\n“Silly, inept Weavile…”\nFrost’s attention was immediately brought down to the Absol again. The dark-type’s innocent face had transformed back into his snide, prideful look. While he was no longer leaning into nor moaning at the Aggron’s touch, he didn’t fight against it either. “You…”\nBig G would let out an audible cough before looking down at Fhalmic with a stern face. “Lotus… Pets don’t talk like that to fellow Pets…”\n“Mmmph~”\nHorror returned to Frost’s face as the Absol would shiver and moan. His slightly glowing eyes would briefly close before opening with a harrowing purplish hue.\n“Mmmnn~ S-Sorry Frost…” Fhalmic looked at Weavile with genuine, unnerving sadness. He seemed to frown in regret as he pulled away from the Aggron and bowed solemnly at Frost. “Lotus is truly sorry…”\nBig G would chuckle again as the Absol cringed and shivered yet again. When he reopened his eyes, the corruptive hue had vanished.\n“Heh… But I’m still not…”\nFrost gulped. “F-Fhalmic…” He would twitch in surprise to see Ashley smile at him.\n“It happens to all of us Frost… If you’re corrupted enough the name makes them take over…”\nBig G nodded. “Mmhmm~ For Fhal here, it’s Lotus…”\nThe Weavile would frown as the former mercenary stuck his muzzle up proudly.\n“For lurker boy over there…” Ashley would gesture to Fracture.\n“Dire~…” He would say with a sensual and cheeky tone from his sitting position.\nThe Heliolisk would then gesture do herself with a blush. “A-And… I ended up with two because my owners couldn’t settle on one… Abel when I’m working Ada w-when I’m not…”\nFrost could only shake his head in disgust. “Why!?” He would shout. “W-Why do you all sound PROUD of this!?”\nThe Weavile would hear a sigh and [i]*tsk*[/i] sound from the Aggron. He would look up in shock to see the Aggron… frowning?\n“Harumph… They can’t help it Frost…” The Aggron would flip to another page of the book and seem to read it. “When you accept enough of the corruption it warps how you see your tainted self… You end up loving what you’ve become…” He looked up as a smile would slowly return. “When I said your name, that was yet another test. If you were too corrupted, your Corrupted self would have taken over you there.”\n“Heh~ But you were strong enough to fight it…” Fhalmic seemed to give the ice-type a genuinely positive smile. “Congratulations fearful Weavile~…”\n“Tch…” Frost merely shook his head but accepted the Northern pokemon’s backhanded praise for him. He would then look at Big G resolutely. “Is there any other Corruption tests you need me to do?”\nBig G smiled. “NOPE~! Congrats! I can work on getting you out of here~”\nThe Weavile smirked valiantly. His eyes lit up with a fiery passion. “Nice! Need me to do anything!?”\nThe Aggron chortled before scratching his stomach. “Hahaha! Not really! However…” His face seemed to turn serious. “I do need to ask you one last question…” He began to lumber over to the Weavile.\nFrost waited until the large pokemon was uncomfortably close to him again. “That being?” He tested.\nBig G knelt down as best as he could to eye-level with the Weavile. An ominous smile seemed to take over his face. “… How good is your pain tolerance?”\n\n[b][i]Stonehaven, Zen and Kol’s House, Early Afternoon\nZendus and Kollack and Icy[/i][/b]\n\n“Humph…” Zen frowned as he slightly adjusted his blue scarf with his one arm. “I think I got it wrong again…”\nKol looked up from his own scarf knot. He smiled softly at the sight. “Zen, hun, how? I just tightened it for you…”\nThe Zoroark flattened his ears. “Yeah? But you know I like it looser…”\nKol blushed and narrowed his eyes at his mate. “Yeah hun?”\nThe dark type’s ears would then shoot up in surprise as his statement dawned on him. “Oh…” \nThe Lycanroc chuckled. “Hehe~ Guess I don’t always fit the bill. Sorry…”\nZen blushed heavily as he brought his unbandaged hand to the scarf again. “S-Shut up you… Come and help me so we’re not late for this thing…”\nKol smiled softly while nodding. He wordlessly sauntered over to his mate and wrapped his paws around the Zoroark’s scarf.\nIn a few tugs and pulls, the Overseer’s scarf was tightened again. “There we go~ Is it ‘too tight’ for you still?”\nZen smirked as his blush reddened. “Hmph… Your tone changed a lot from this morning…”\nKol chuckled while keeping his smile. “Well… If it weren’t for our talk and getting to play wi-”\n“MASTER! MASTERS! I FOUND IT!”\nThe couple would look towards their bedroom door to find a starry-eyed Weavile. He panted slightly as his semi-erect barbed cock hung freely as his “tail” wagged with pride. Within his claws, a blue and black leash was being gripped tightly.\n “ICY FOUND MASTER’S LEASH!” The pet shouted with enthusiasm again. A slight tinge of purple seemed to emanate from his eyes as he smiled widely.\nZen would smirk while Kol chuckled lovingly. “Daww~ Good job Icy~!” Kol would say.\nThe Weavile pet turned happily towards the Lycanroc and bounded towards him. He would stop short of his master and gently place the leash in front of him. \nKol’s paws would find themselves resting against his heart. The ice-type looked so wondrous and cute. “Ehehehe~ Such a good boy~! Thank you~”\nIcy’s smile widened further as his master’s paw began to move from his chest to the pet’s head. Time seemed to slow down for the Weavile as he could feel the coming warmth of the Lycanroc’s paw. He instinctively began to lean forward in anticipation… “Mmmgf~ Aaaah~”\n“Uhh. Kol? Is he…?” Zen could only look on in pure surprise.\nThe Lycanroc looked towards his mate with a cheeky smile. He kept his paw on the moaning pet as he slowly scratched at a particular spot on the Weavile’s head. “Mmhmm. He is~…”\n“Mmmrrfff~” Icy breathed in deeply as he felt his master’s paw smother his head with warmth. His mind immediately brought itself back to Charon’s lovely words… [i]Pets must pay a toll for their rewards… Yes… Icy paid the toll~[/i] “Hnnnggh~” [i]I-I found the collar just like Master asked me too~ N-Now I-I can-[/i] “MMmammm~ Haaaggh~” \nZen continued staring in astonishment as he witnessed the Weavile pet’s knot finally pop out of his sheathe. Precum slowly dribbled from the large, barbed organ, making a bigger mess on the couple’s floor. “Oh my… He produces a lot of pre huh?”\nKol would nod in agreement. “Yep~ I found out when I trained him this morning!”\nThe Zoroark gave his mate a wry smile. “Hmph, I see… Wish I could have seen it.” \nKol briefly stopped his petting as his jovial expression noticeably saddened. “Y-Yeah… I-I’m sorry Zen…”\nZen rested his hand on his mate, his smile turning into a slight frown. “Hey…”\nThe Lycanroc’s face quickly brightened again. “Heh~ D-Don’t worry hun! I’m not going back down that thought process. I just…” He paused briefly as he looked back down to Icy. \nThe poor pet was giving him a worried expression. His wide eyes looked hungrily at the Lycanroc’s paw.\n“That moment we had during training…” Kol slowly placed his paw back onto the pet, immediately bring back the pokemon’s moaning. He would give his mate a lustful smile. “It was beautiful…”\nZen’s expression softened as he witnessed a blush cross Kol’s face. The Zoroark remembered hearing the Weavile’s distant moans and grunts as he drifted off to sleep near the two. All he had heard was the start of Kol training the Pet but the subtle pain of his injury gradually had lulled him to sleep before the main event. “Heh~ I can only imagine.”\n“MMmmf~ Mmmoorre~” Icy panted heavily as the heat of his master’s paw found his head again. I he couldn’t understand why his master stopped. He feared he had made a mistake. But that couldn’t be right! Right!? Thankfully he never needed to question it for longer. Especially because… “MMnnnngh~ Hfff~!”\n“Hehehe~ Found his spot~”\nZen raised an eyebrow at his mate’s statement before hearing the Weavile moan slightly louder.\n“Huffff~ HAaaaggh~ Nnnnngh~!” The pet planted one of his clawed hands along the wall as he hopelessly thrusted the air. His cock twitched heavily as a sizeable amount of cum shot out of him. He would shiver and push his head further into his master’s caress. “MMmmfff!”  \nKol’s smile merely widened while Zen stared down in complete amazement. “H-Holy crap Kol! I didn’t know you could do that!”\nThe Lycanroc chuckled. “Heh. I didn’t know either. Until this morning at least…” He would shift his left leg back slightly as more of the pet’s cum splatter near the spot. “Mmmh~ Someone’s making quite the mess~”\nIcy happily blushed at the comment. No. That wasn’t just any comment! That was a compliment! [i]Praise! M-Master praised me![/i] The Weavile pet’s felt his blush redden further. [i]I-Icy cummed and Master liked it~![/i] “Aaaagh~”\nKol lovingly shook his head as the pet’s humping slowed down. “Heh. Love you too buddy.” He then looked back to his mate. “Oh! You wanna see how his training went?”\nZen’s eyes lit up. “Ooh~ I would love to see the aftermath~” \nThe Lycanroc chuckled. “Hehe. Hey Icy! Can you show us your ass?”\nThe pet’s ears lifted in acknowledgement of the command. As his orgasm faded he had started to feel tired but his master’s voice reinvigorated him. He quickly shook his head before looking up at the Lycanroc. “H-Huh?”\nZen chuckled at the Weavile’s confused face. “Can you show your master how your anal training went Icy~?”\nIcy tilted his head. [i]Training… anal…[/i] It took a few long seconds for the words to make sense to him. “O-Oh! Master wants to see training!?” \t\nThe couple couldn’t help but blush as the pet smiled and turned back from the two. He would happily bend forwards and present himself.\nZen was quick to notice the slightly the Weavile’s discolored anal ring. He huffed lustfully as he moved his uninjured hand to close to the pet’s well-used tailhole. “Hmm…”\n“Aaaaahhhfff~” Icy shivered as he felt three giant digits worm their way into his hole. “Mmmmh~” He moaned as his master’s fingers stretched him. His softening cock immediately hardened again.\n“Heheh… hmm~” Zen smirked darkly at the writhing pet. He inched his fingers deeper into the Weavile’s warm depths, earning more desperate moans from them. One particular spread the Zoroark made showed him a lovely, gaped hole. It was paltry to what the Zoroark gave his mate but it was a good start. The Zoroark then side-eyed his mate.\nKol blushed heavily at his mate’s lustful smirk. He couldn’t lie to himself. Witnessing Zen slowly spread and stretch Icy’s ass was… hot. “H-Holy fuck Zen…” The Lycanroc gulped as his heart fluttered in both envy and lust.\nThe Zoroark continued. “Yeah Kol~?”\n“U-Uhmm…” Kol’s blush reddened as he felt his own paws find his anus. His eyes widened. He couldn’t remember how his paw ended up there. “Uuhh. G-Go easy on him… H-He’s not me…”\n“But you trained him no~?” Zen only seemed to go deeper into the pet, earning more moans out of the Weavile below him.\n“Mmf~ Y-Yeah?”\n“Then he should be fine~…” The Zoroark’s eyes began to trail down to his mate’s growing cock. He smiled wider as he let his darker thoughts take over. “Unless…”\nKol gasped as the room seemed to grow hazy. A lewd, domineering purple seemed to emanate from his mate. It mixed with Icy’s corrupted smile, warping the Lycanroc’s senses even more. “U-Unless?” He couldn’t understand why he was feeling this way. Part of him knew it was his corruption talking but he could’ve sworn he had attained full control over it over these few years.\n“Unless… You fucked him while I was sleeping huh~?” Zen narrowed his corrupted eyes seductively. Kol’s red face turned the reddest the Zoroark had ever seen. He chuckled a little at the sight.\n“N-No! I-I-I did NOT Zen… Mmmhf~” The Lycanroc still couldn’t understand what was happening. His mate’s sensual eyes only made his crotch warmer. His  He looked down in a mixture of pride and embarrassment as his fully erect cock throbbed. \nIcy was quick to notice a new beautiful scent in the warped air. It smelled very familiar to a scent the pet began to smell when he first trained with his masters. He was too tired to understand it at time but now he could see. In between his Zoroark master probing deeper into his ass, his eyes managed to trail towards the lovely figure of his other master. “HHnnn~ M-Master’s cock~…”\nFrom what the pet could see, his Lycanroc Master was just as big, no! BIGGER than the rod he was trained with. It looked so juicy and gigantic! He wanted it! He needed it… [i]Mmmph~ I-Icy must do this… I-I need to be worthy of such a cock~[/i] He dug himself deeper into the claws invading his ass. “Hnnngh~” [i]More training~ Zoroark master is training my ass~[/i].\nZen flicked an ear at the pet’s moaning statement. “Hmm~ Icy seems to be saying the opposite~ Hehehe~” He spread and stretched the Weavile’s anus again, earning another cute moan from the tainted pet.\n“Ufff… Zen…” Kol tried his best to frown but it merely became a worried smile instead. “I would never lie. I-I would want you to see it… Hnnn~ F-Fuck!” The Lycanroc moaned as his cock throbbed again. He blushed harder as his knot began to form.\n“Oh my~” Zen lustfully leaned towards his mate. Icy was forced to crawl forwards slightly to accommodate the Zoroark’s movement.  “It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a full look at that beauty…”\nKol gulped as he looked back up to his mate. “Y-Yeah? That is true… Would normally have the cage on… B-But… Hufff~” He shivered as he felt his cock throb again… It was such a foreign feeling to him now. Having his cock teeter on the edge of an orgasm while not confined to his usual cage was not something the Lycanroc had felt in a very long time. “Aagh~ T-This whole thing is… distraaccting…”\nThe Zoroark raised an eyebrow. “Distracting~? I’m just getting him ready for us~”\nKol tilted his head. “H-Huh? Zen. You’re n-not making sense… Mmfh~ W-We have an event we need to go to…”\nZen remained unbothered. The dark type would instead plunge his paw deeper into Icy. At this point the Zoroark’s entire paw was deep inside the pet. “Hehehe~ I think we have all the time in the world~”\n“AAaaagh~ M-Masterrrr…” Icy’s tongue lolled out of his mouth as his Master’s paw only seemed to plunge itself deeper into him. A mix of pain and pleasure pulsed through his body. “…Mmmgh~ Soo m-muuch…”\nKol gasped at sight. “Huufff~ F-Fuck… Y-Your whole hand i-is inside him~” His wry smile returned. “C-C-Careful Hun. He’s not at t-that point y-yet! Y-Y-You might break him…”\nThe Lycanroc seemed to mean it half-heartedly. He breathed in deeply again as the thought of it happening permeated in his mind. He gulped as his cock throbbed needily again.\nZen merely chuckled. “Heh~ Looks like all of us would be fine with that.” He then slid his hand back out. \nKol blushed and waved his hand. “N-No wait H-Huunn… Mmmph~” His cock betrayed him again with another throb. He bit his lip slightly as his own pre began trickling onto the floor.\n“AAAfffggh~ Sooo muuuch~” Icy could feel his vision cloud as his balls tensed again. He pushed back and clenched hard on his master’s paw as his cock spurted even more of his own cum onto the ground. “MMMMmmph~ Haaaaghh~”\n“Goood boy Icy~” The Zoroark fought back against the pet’s want to milk his paw. With every pulse, he stretched his fingers widening the ice type’s anus more and more. “Very, very, good boy~ I’m impressed~”\nIcy’s heart was fluttering as he panted out loud moans. “Hufff~ HAAAaah~ Yessss!” He looked back between his masters with shameless pride. “Hmmmph~ I-Icy is… S-so happy~”\nKol couldn’t help himself at the sight. Despite all of his efforts and worries about their events, the scene in front of him had more priority now. He would let his resistance fade as the purplish room became mistier and more vibrant. He brought his own paw down to his sensitive cock, shivering as he played with the base of the knot. “Huufff~ T-This is… heaven~”\nThe coupled and their pet would revel in the lust for a few moments before Zen continued his anal assault. Even after two orgasms, the Zoroark knew their Pet had more stamina to spill. And he planned to milk the Weavile for every last drop. It’s what he deserved after all~ And plus, what’s the worst that will happen? This foul little ice-type breaking? Why would anyone need to worry about that? Anything and everything can always be fixed with time and he and Kol had all the time in the worl-\n[b][i]*BOOM!*\n*CRACKLE!*[/i][/b]\nThe ground would shake heavily as a flash of light appeared outside. The corruptive haze seemed to dissipate instantly. Zen and Kol’s smirk and blush respectively would turn into confused yet worried looks. \nKol would trudge over to the two’s window and peer outside. His eyes widened in shock as he witnessed a particularly bad rainstorm pour directly over their neighbor’s house.\nThe Lycanroc began to shiver as his heart sank somewhat. “U-Uhmm. Err… I-I think Ashton is angry Zen…”\n“… Huh?” Zen quickly shook himself out of his lewd stupor. Any traces of the corruptive purple also dissipated instantly. He would yank his arm from his pet’s warm insides and scurry over to his mate.\n“Aaaauufh~ Wait M-Master~! Hnnng…” The needy Weavile shivered as his anal hole flexed against the empty air that rushed into it. He gritted his teeth as he longingly watched his Zoroark Master’s wet hand saunter away from him.\nIcy’s heart sank. I-It’s over? D-Did Icy do something wrong!? He whimpered in the direction of his Masters.\nThe pet’s whining would seem to fall on deaf ears as Zen cautiously peered out of the window. He would sweat at the sight of black clouds hovering above their house. He eased himself slightly as the blanket seemed to center above Ashton’s own house rather than their own. “Uhh… Heh. L-Looks like he’s upset at something happening in his house? I-I think we’re fine.”\nAnother bolt of lightning would crackle out of the sky and strike the top of their neighbor’s house. The couple would sigh in relief as the clearer sign revealed where the Politoed’s anger likely resided.\nKol smiled as Zen wiped the sweat from his forehead.\n“Phew~ Welp! We’re not gonna get electrocuted again!”\nThe Lycanroc nodded. “Yeah. A what a relief!” He then turned away and tugged on his scarf. “Ehehe~ N-Now then. What was that whole thing?”\n“Huh?” Zen would also turn away and step back to the center of the room.\n“You know~. T-That whole fisting Icy thing? You were pushing him a lot.”\n“Uffffnn~” Icy moaned loudly as he heard his lovely name be spoken. His eyes managed to meet his Lycanroc Master as he gave the wolf a needy look.\nKol blushed at the Pet before turning back to his mate. “You were getting him addicted to your hands at a time when we need to be leaving! Hehe~”\nZen chuckled innocently. “Heheh. I-I don’t even know what happened Love. I just… couldn’t ignore the feeling.”\nThe Lycanroc’s eye’s widened. “Oh? W-Wait! You felt that corruptive air too!?”\nZen nodded. “Yeah. It felt wrong to ignore.” He would then begin pondering. “The feeling felt incredibly similar to our Corruption Ceremony…”\nKol pondered for a bit. “Hmm… Yeah I guess you’re right. Maybe it was a good thing we did that huh?”\nThe couple would end up smiling at each other as memories began popping up in their minds. Icy’s gaze would travel between them as their smiles and blushes grew more extreme.\n “Huuufff~ I can still feel the intense pressure of those tendrils…” Kol would shiver as he hungrily reminisced his ceremony.\nZen chuckled as his own mind did the same. “Heheh~ Same Love~ That whole feeling was just like us being tested!” He would proudly brush his own snout. “And what pokemon of Stonehaven would I be if I didn’t!?”\nKol’s eyes began to light up at the Zoroark’s proud pose. “OOOH! You wouldn’t be my SEXY HUSBAND!” He thoughtfully bounded towards his mate and embraced him. “Hehehe~ Mmmh~ I’m so happy we both succeeded…”\nZen nuzzled himself deep into the Lycanroc’s mane. “Huff~ What would I do without you…?”\nKol chuckled. “Hehehe~ I-I never want to think of that timeline.”\nIcy started to give the couple an annoyed frown. [i]Th-They’re ignoring me? Why? W-Why are Master’s ignoring me!?[/i]\nThe Weavile Pet abandoned his Zoroark Master’s old command and padded towards the two and would sit very close to them. He hesitated slightly but nudged both of his Master’s thighs. “Hmmmrph?”\nZen and Kol’s ears would flick at the sound. They looked down to see their upset Pet. Zen chuckled at the look while Kol gasped in surprise.\n“Hehehe~ Looks like we forgot someone~”\nKol pouted at the Zoroark. “Hmph~ More like YOU forgot someone. You’re the one talking silly.”\nZen tilted his head. A playful smirk washed over his face. “Me? I don’t know what you’re talking about! Icy is BOTH of our problems~”\nIcy merely narrowed his eyes before pawing at both of them. “Why did testing stop? D-Did Icy do something wrong?”\nZen chuckled again as he brought his hand down to pet the dark type. “No Icy. You didn’t do anything hehe~ We just got caught up in something.”\n“Buuut~ Since that’s over we can get back to getting READY!” The Lycanroc pushed back against his mate with a loving smirk. He would move his paws up to the Zoroark’s chest before settling on their scarf.\nZen’s scarf seemed to have loosened yet again. It hung lazily over his neck and was crudely off-centered. All Kol could do was shake his head as he steadily shifted the fabric back into place. He then reached behind the scruff of Zen’s neck to tighten it again.\n“There. So much better Hun~” Kol pecked his mate on the snout before stepping out of their embrace. He then stepped back and looked over himself. He couldn’t help but blush at the dried precum that coated his crotch. His cock had already begun to hastily retreat into his sheath. He would shake his head before adjusting his own scarf.\nThe Lycanroc’s own blue scarf was similarly off-centered. Unlike his mate it bore a single green stripe, one the wolf was very proud of. Alas, the achievement meant nothing now. His and his mate’s Reputation still teetered on the edge. If it wasn’t for them lucking out they likely wouldn’t have these scarves anymore.\nWith a few tugs and pulls Kol’s Overseer scarf was now in perfect standard. He couldn’t help but smile proudly at the amount of care he put into the adjustments.\n“Heh~ Still just as gentle and precise as ever huh?”\nKol looked up to witness Zen smugly smirking at him. He narrowed his eyes before rolling them. “Hmph~ Shut you.”\nThe Zoroark snickered. “Kehehe~ Still don’t want me teasing?”\nKol stuck his nose up and turned to walk towards their door. “Hmph~ No comment. I have to take our Pet to get fitted!”\nZen’s snickering turned into laughter as Icy turned towards the Lycanroc. “…Fitted?” The Weavile tilted his head in curiosity. “W-What is…?”\nZen would pat the Pet on the head before walking over and picking up the discarded leash. “Come on Icy! Let’s go for walkies~!”\nIcy froze up. That question… That word… “W-wha?”\n“Walkies~” The Zoroark master repeated. “Wanna go for a walk boy?”\nSomething clicked in the Weavile’s mind. His questions disappeared. His annoyance vanished. That word… [i]Walkies… Walkies? A “walk”?[/i] His head tilted to the other side as the word repeated itself again. [i]Walkies…[/i] “…Walk? A walk!?” His eyes would light up as his tail began to wag. “Walk!? Yess! Walk! I want walkies!”\nKol chuckled at the Pet as his mate gestured for them. “Come on then boy! Let’s go!”\nIcy’s face shined the brightest, dumbest smile as he bounded towards his Masters. As he reached their feet, he would hear an elating [b][i]*CLICK!*[/i][/b]\nZen and Kol smiled warmly as their Pet marveled at simple black collar and the blue and black leash that snugly attached itself to it. Zen would give the leash a light tug. Their Pet happily obliged, walking alongside them both as they made their way out of the door.\n\n[b][i]Stonehaven, Lunar Medallions, Early Afternoon[/i][/b]\n\nNestled in between several outlet stores was a shop Zen had always wanted to visit again. The Ursaring that ran it was an older friend of the Zoroark when he was younger. The two unfortunately couldn’t stay too connected, especially due to Stonehaven’s rules.\nZen would shake himself as he felt a soft paw rub him. “Huh?”\n“You alright Zen?”\nThe Zoroark shook himself again before peering at his mate. That warm, charming smile eased his mind. “Oh! Y-Yeah! It’s just… it’s been years since I’ve talked to Mav.” He would scratch the back of his head with his unbandaged arm.\nIcy yelped slightly as his Zoroark master tugged on his leash. He looked up to see him scratching his head. He frowned slightly. His own head began to feel cold. Why isn’t his master petting him the same way? “Hnng?”\nZen quickly looked down at the Weavile. “Oh crud! I’m sorry Icy hehe.” He brought his hand down, allowing the dark type to nestle back down. Alas, that didn’t seem to quell the odd frown the Pet now had.\nKol simply chuckled as he then walked to the wooden door of the store and give it a polite knock. He would step back as some rustling would echo behind the door for a few seconds.\nThe door would soon open revealing a towering brown Ursaring. A gruff frown sat on his face as he seemed to be wiping off his hands with a rag. He would then shove the rag into an apron pocket that was slung over the bear pokemon’s lower waist.\nZen and Icy would take a gulp and take a step back while Kol gave him a wave.\n“Hiya Mav!” The Lycanroc smiled happily.\nThe Ursaring nodded towards him before looking between the Zoroark and Weavile. He would then take a step forwards.\nZen’s heart began to beat fast as Mav stepped even closer. “H-Hey buddy~ Nice to see ya again.”\nMav seemed to grunt uncaringly before stopping his gaze solely on Icy.\nZen’s eyes would widen at the staring bear. “Oh! Th-This here is Icy, our new Pet! I’m sure you saw~” He began to elaborate. Unfortunately, the Ursaring seemed unbothered. Zen would step closer between them as he noticed the Pet’s growing fear. “W-We were here t-to- ”\n“GRRN-hmm…” A loud grunt combined with a giant paw clamping the Zoroark’s mouth brought silence to the area. Mav would keep his eyes squarely on the Pet.\nKol’s own smile would turn nervous. “Uhm… Mav?” When he didn’t get a response, he would look to Icy. “Icy? Are you alright?”\nIcy was feeling an odd mix of emotions. This strange pokemon was looming over him, piercing deep into his soul with mysterious yet stern eyes. The Pet felt like he should have been scared but the more he looked into those eyes the more he… understood?\nThe Pet couldn’t help but feel safe in those eyes. They reminded him of Charon’s smile. This big bear wasn’t his master but he was… trustworthy. “H-Hi~” A smile finally washed over his face.\nThe Ursaring’s frown immediately turned into a gleeful smile. The ominous atmosphere dissipated as a loud “Garumph!” echoed from Mav’s throat. He would bring both of his hands near the Weavile’s face. His claws slowly began to brush near the Pet’s face, the tips of his claws connecting at seemingly random points.\n“Uufff~” Icy shivered at the soft feeling as the claws seemed to wrap around him. [i]I-It’s okay Icy… They are f-friend~[/i] He happily reminded himself. [i]Th-They are h-helping…[/i] He blushed at one particular rub the Ursaring had done. “Mmmf~”\nZen and Kol looked on in astonishment as Mav slowly measured out the Weavile’s neck and collar. All the while, the bear’s happy smile remained. The couple would then stare at each other before shrugging at the same time.\nIt would take Mav another minute before he finished his measurements. The Pet’s blushing and moaning would end in slight confusion as Mav retracted his claws. He then stood up tall and nodded before quietly turning away and walking back into his store.\n“Uhh wait Mav- ” Kol was about to reach out to the Ursaring but would find Zen’s hand stopping him. The Lycanroc would raise an eyebrow at him.\nZen could only chuckle as his mind finally managed to process the whole thing. “Hehehe~ Still his same old self. Quiet and only focused on the subject of his work.”\nKol tilted his head. “But… We didn’t get to tell him what we wanted for the party.”\nZen merely chuckled louder. “Heh~ If Mav is the same old Mav, he already knows. That guy has very potent instincts.”\nHis mate shrugged. “If you say so Hun.”\nIcy stared at the door his friend disappeared behind. He continued to match the smile they once had. He could hear some distant banging and shuffling behind the door. It made him step forwards a few steps. [i]F-Friend left… Friend will return…[/i]\n“Excuse me…”\nThe couple and their Pet would turn behind them to find a small Teddiursa looking through them. She seemed to hold tightly onto a bag slung around her.\nKol would smile and wave while Zen’s eyes would light up. “Daww~ Heey Karza!”\nA smile would briefly flash over the cubs face before returning to a neutral, bored face. “Sup. Uhh… Can I get past y’all so I can get home?”\nZen happily nodded and pulled at Icy’s leash. Despite the curiosity the Weavile had, he would obediently follow in the direction of the pull. \nAs they did so, Icy would hear the noises inside stop. Thunderous footsteps would echo before the store’s door opened again. Icy couldn’t help but smile wider as the big bear’s gaze quickly landed on him.\n“Hey Pa…” Karza would say before walking past all of them and into the store. She would grab the door handle before turning back to face her father. “Uh. Ma will be home later, she walked me partway through before saying she needed to head to the markets…”\n“Hmmn…” Mav would let out a grunt of acknowledgement in her direction before signaling something to her with one hand.\nThe Teddiursa rolled her eyes and huffed. “Hmph. Yes sir… I’ll get it all done before dinner…” \nMav would give her a smile and seemed to make half a heart symbol with his one hand.\nKarza merely narrowed her eyes and shook her head. “Love you too… Bye!” She then shut the door behind her.\nZen couldn’t help but laugh. “Hahahaha~ She’s still such a ball of sunshine!”\nMav would turn back to the Zoroark, complete with a scowl.\nZen’s laughter would immediately stop as he frowned in embarrassment. “Oh! S-Sorry. I-I didn’t mean to overstep…”\nStrangely, the Ursaring’s face would contort into a smile as he hacked out a chuckle. “Hur-hurn-hrn~”\nZen’s frown relaxed into a smile at the nostalgic laughter. “Heheh~ Whew~ Y-You still get me with those frowns Mav!”\nThe Ursaring proudly smirked at him before turning his gaze back to Icy.\nThe Weavile’s eyes were flitted in curiosity. He had been quick to notice something shiny hidden in the bear pokemon’s hand.\nMav seemed to notice this curiosity as quickly knelt down to the Pet and, with a [b][i]*CLICK!*[/i][/b], the Weavile’s old collar fell away. As it did, the Ursaring would reveal something more extravagant.\n“AAAAHHH!” Icy couldn’t believe his eyes! Hovering just above him, his friend was granting him a beautiful gift! An amazing collar wrapped in a mix of reds, whites, and blacks! All of the colors of his Masters! Within the center bore a glorious patch of blue with a green dot in the middle. But still! That wasn’t even the greatest part!\nKol gasped as he witnessed the medallion hanging from the collar displayed Stonehaven’s Overseer emblem on the front while the back proudly displayed: \n“I am ICY, proud Pet of Overseer Zendus and Overseer Kollack!\nIf I ever seem to be lost, please return me to Zendus or Kollack!\nThank you!”\n“By the Corruption that’s AMAZING Mav!” Zen was ecstatic to see such a piece of art! He had known the Ursaring’s Crafting talents were great but he had never gotten to see it so close!\n“It’s so beautiful!” Kol exclaimed as he stepped closer.\nMav pridefully smiled at the two before looking back down to their Pet. He would do what he had always done in this scenario. Regardless of what any owner ever thought, it was up to the Pet to choose whether or not the collars and accessories he made were ever good. He would move his arms forwards slowly before stopping close to the Weavile’s neck.\nIcy could feel his heartbeating out of his chest. [i]T-This… This is f-for Icy! THIS IS FOR ME!?[/i] His legs felt heavy and tears felt like they were crawling in the back of his eyes. He couldn’t believe it! But… While his mind seemed frozen, his body began moving on its own. \nThe Pet would step once…\nThen once more…\nAnd again…\nHe gave his giant friend the biggest smile he could muster through his tears as his body leaned forwards.\nInstantly, the Weavile’s neck was swaddled in warmth. He looked down at the snugly fitted collar and drooled frantically at the shining medal hanging below it. “I-Icy has collar… N-New collar. F-Friend gave him new COLLAR!”\nZen and Kol nodded at the giddy Pet as he began cupping the medallion in his hands. He would look between the couple with a childish smile.\n“You soo cute! Icy!” Zen would cheer.\n“You’re such a handsome good boy!” Kol added.\n“Heck yeah! You’re gonna make all of the other Pets soo jealous!” The Zoroark would walk over and click the leash back on the Weavile. “Come, come! Let’s go show them!” \n“Yeah yeah!” Icy happily nodded and turned away from the Ursaring.\nMav would stand up straight and give everyone an affirming grunt. “Hmph!” He then began to turn back to his store.\nKol would give him a wave while his mate gave him a proper pat on the back. “We’ll be back for more!” he would say before tugging Icy along.\nMav would simply wave with the back of his hand without looking. He then opened his door and disappeared behind it.\n The couple looked between each other and their newly decorated Pet. Their smiles grew as they began walking towards the guild…\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><em>Corrupted Depths, Malparadise</em></strong><br /><br />The Weavile felt his vision shift&hellip; That smug yet curious face of the Absol in front of him&hellip; That face was always there, peering deep into him&hellip; From the moment he had first appeared around the brush&hellip; <em>T-Those eyes&hellip;</em><br />Frost couldn&rsquo;t help himself. He dropped his guard and widened his eyes. He stared in shock as a single word came to him through all of his memories. &ldquo;&hellip; L-Lotus?&rdquo;<br />The Absol smiled wider. His eyes then began to glow. &ldquo;Close Weavile~&hellip; You can call me Fhalmic.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Fh-Fhalmic&hellip;&rdquo; Frost peered at the details in the Absol&rsquo;s glowing eyes before his mind finally pieced itself back together. He would look up in slight shock. &ldquo;Y-You&rsquo;re from the northern regions&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Fhalmic nodded. &ldquo;Indeed&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost would look down as more thoughts crossed his mind.<br />The Absol would chuckle at the sight. &ldquo;To answer a few questions I know are going through that na&iuml;ve head of yours: Yes, I was a part of a mercenary group. I chose the surrounding area of Stonehaven to vacation to. I fell into the town&rsquo;s corruption trap and was picked up and broken by two charming birds&hellip;&rdquo; He would then blush as his thoughts trailed off slightly.<br />&ldquo;B-Birds&hellip;&rdquo; The Weavile&rsquo;s eyes widened. &ldquo;S-Sharp and Flat! I-I knew there was something wrong with them!&rdquo; He frowned and looked away as the cheerful faces of the bird pokemon flashed in his mind. He scowled. &ldquo;Hmph&hellip; So much for polyamory&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Fhalmic would chuckle. &ldquo;Heh~&hellip; Such a simplistic mindset&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost shot a glare at him. &ldquo;And you can stop being a high-and-mighty ass Northerner&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ashley would step between the two pokemon. &ldquo;Ay! We&rsquo;re all on the same side here!&rdquo; She would side-eye the Absol first. &ldquo;You know how you&rsquo;re supposed to act Fhalmic&hellip;&rdquo; Her tone merely led to the Absol rolling his eyes with an unbothered look. The Heliolisk seemed to accept it before turning fully to Frost. &ldquo;What Fhalmic is getting at is that everyone in Stonehaven is the problem&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s face grew blank. &ldquo;E&hellip;Everyone?&rdquo;<br />She would nod with a sad smile. &ldquo;Yes&hellip; Everyone&hellip; from Guildmaster Pyre to even the youngest pokemon&hellip; Everyone in this town serves the Corruption.&rdquo;<br />The Weavile stared at the ground as all of memories flowed through him. <em>Every happy and positive pokemon I&rsquo;ve seen&hellip; The care Zendus and Kollack gave me&hellip; Even the respect of Team Fulcrum before they-</em> He would mentally stop himself before shaking his head. &ldquo;Everyone in the town is just&hellip; a bunch of Corrupted Pokemon who enslave innocent Pokemon&hellip;&rdquo; His face darkened in anger. &ldquo;Grr&hellip; So, everything I&rsquo;ve done up to this point HAS been a fucking sham!&rdquo;<br />He couldn&rsquo;t stop himself from coating his fist in ice and slamming it into the ground. The Ice Punch left a sizeable frozen crater below him. &ldquo;DAMNIT! F-FUCK!&rdquo; He glared at Ashley. &ldquo;The world NEEDS to know about this Ashley!&rdquo; He stood up with vengeance. &ldquo;How do I get out of here!?&rdquo;<br />The other three pokemon stared at him with varying emotions, Ashley gave him a worried frown. Fracture&rsquo;s smirk dissipated into an odd and nervous chuckle. And Fhalmic&hellip;<br />&ldquo;Hehehehe~ I like your thought process Weavile&hellip;&rdquo; His eyes seemed to gleam bright as a proud smirk appeared on his face.<br />Frost shook his head. &ldquo;The least you could do was call me by my name at least&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Absol rolled his eyes&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Hmph&hellip; Fine...&rdquo; He would then turn around and point himself in a direction. &ldquo;I happen to know someone here who can help you Frost&hellip; Follow&hellip;&rdquo; Without another word, the Absol began padding in said direction. His pace made it clear that he wasn&rsquo;t going to wait for the Frost&rsquo;s answer.<br />Frost would nod and begin to walk with the pokemon until Ashley stepped in front of him. &ldquo;Frost! Please&hellip; I told you to not fight this&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Fracture would encircle him from the back. Frost&rsquo;s eyes would widen at the Houndoom&rsquo;s ominous frown. &ldquo;Yeah Frost&hellip; No joking this time, from me at least&hellip; You shouldn&rsquo;t bother.&rdquo;<br />The Heliolisk would grab and hold up the Weavile&rsquo;s hand. &ldquo;I know you have a sense of justice Frost. We all do. But&hellip; This is different&hellip;&rdquo; She would begin to stare off into the distance before turning back to him. &ldquo;Accepting your place here is the best outcome&hellip; You&rsquo;ve lost Frost&hellip; W-We all have&hellip; If you follow Fhalmic, you&rsquo;re only going to cause yourself more pain and turmoil&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost frowned at her. &ldquo;I&hellip; I understand Ashley. However, I&rsquo;m a part of Team Signis. I have to do this&hellip;&rdquo; He stared at her with pure resolve. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not fully corrupted yet, I don&rsquo;t think I am at least&hellip; Either way, the world deserves to know the sins of this place. All of the pokemon who have been enslaved by this place&hellip; Even you&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Ashley gasped slightly as she felt the Weavile take her hand in his. &ldquo;A member of Bandhollow never gives up&hellip; And I&rsquo;m certainly not giving up now&hellip;&rdquo; She then watched the Weavile turn to follow Fhalmic. All she could do was stare longingly in defeat.<br />Fracture would pad next to her and shoot her a smile. &ldquo;Heh~ Like Ricard always said, the two &lsquo;S&rsquo;s in Team Signis stand for &ldquo;stubborn&rdquo; and &ldquo;stupid&rdquo; respectively.&rdquo;<br />Ashley would shake her head with a smile of her own. &ldquo;True&hellip; He&rsquo;s in for a harrowing time&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Welp Ash! Some pokemon will only learn when their beaten down and broken hehe~ And Frost certainly fits the bill&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Heliolisk would nod. &ldquo;Well, as a researcher, documenting a downfall is also in my repertoire&hellip; Let&rsquo;s go.&rdquo;<br />Fracture would nod and begin following her.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&hellip;<br />&hellip;<br />&hellip;<br /><br /><strong><em>Corrupted Depths, Malparadise</em></strong><br /><br />Fhalmic would walk over to a particular corner of Malparadise. His proud smile would cause other inhabitants to give way to him and Frost.<br />The Weavile would shake his head at some of the pokemon. &ldquo;I-I&rsquo;ve seen some of these pokemon before&hellip; So many of them&hellip; enslaved&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Fhalmic would turn back and smirk. &ldquo;And then comes you. Someone who can still make a difference~. Everyone else here is too Corrupted&hellip;&rdquo; His face would seem to darken. &ldquo;&hellip; among other things&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Absol would continue walking until he got to a shaded rock wall. He would stop and turn back to Frost. &ldquo;Here you go Weavile. The wisest pokemon here in Malparadise.&rdquo; He would step back and let Frost walk forwards.<br />Frost would tilt his head in slight confusion as a giant Aggron yawned with boredom. &ldquo;T-This thin- &rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Oy! Worker Pet!&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s eyes would widen as the large pokemon looked directly at him. &ldquo;W-Who- &rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Weavile! Worker Pet&hellip; Come here&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost frowned before shooting a side-eye to Fhalmic. The Absol would remain silent, keeping his prideful smile.<br />&ldquo;Ah&hellip; So you don&rsquo;t wanna escape!? Nevermind then&hellip;&rdquo; The Aggron would then shrug and begin to lay back down.<br />Frost&rsquo;s eyes widened. He would hold out his hand in response. &ldquo;Hold on! W-Wait! I-I didn&rsquo;t mean to ignore you! I-I- &rdquo;<br />&ldquo;BAHAHAHAHA!&rdquo; The Aggron smiled heartily at him.<br />The Weavile tilted his head. &ldquo;W-What&hellip;?&rdquo;<br />The Aggron didn&rsquo;t say anything. Instead, he would heave himself up and begin sauntering towards him.<br />Frost gulped and backed up slightly as he felt the steel type get uncomfortably close.<br />The Aggron would look down at him with a questioning face for a few seconds before smiling. &ldquo;Hmm&hellip; Heh! Yeah I know you~&hellip; <strong><em>Icy~&hellip;</em></strong>&rdquo;<br />Frost felt his heart sink. His breathing became labored. He glared at the large pokemon. The devilish smirk of Charon and his subordinates flashed in his mind. The visual weight of him being trapped in that Kecleon&rsquo;s chair&hellip; The alluring sounds of chuckling&hellip;<br /><strong><em>&ldquo;Such a good regretful boy~&rdquo;</em></strong><br /><strong><em>&ldquo;If you want your reward, you must pay my toll~&rdquo;</em></strong><br /><strong><em>*DING*-[/i[/b] &ldquo;D-Don&rsquo;t call me that! I&rsquo;m NOT a Pet!&rdquo; He would yell with a sneer. He panted slightly as wind seemed to become scarce for him.<br />The Aggron leaned back up. His face seemed to darken for a few seconds before a jovial smile overtook him again. He began to chuckle. &ldquo;Hehehe~. Congrats buddy. You passed!&rdquo;<br />Frost narrowed his eyes and looked to Fhalmic.<br />The Absol&rsquo;s expression remained the same as he witnessed the whole thing.<br />&ldquo;HAHAHAahaha~!&rdquo;<br />Even more of the steel-type&rsquo;s laughter would pull Frost&rsquo;s attention back to him. &ldquo;What&rsquo;s&hellip; wrong with you?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Hehe~ When you&rsquo;ve lived here as long as Big G, I&rsquo;m sure you would be as eccentric as him&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost looked behind him to find Ashley and Fracture settling on a few rocks further back. The Weavile would primarily look to Fracture, who was the origin of the comment. &ldquo;You two?&rdquo; He narrowed his eyes slightly. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re still not trying to stop me are you?&rdquo;<br />Ashley would smile innocently, completely betraying her initial emotions she first had. &ldquo;Heh~ We&rsquo;re just here to observe Frost! You&rsquo;ve already made up your mind. We&rsquo;d be foolish to stop you.&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s face would soften a bit. This really was the old Ashley he knew. He gave her a nod before turning back to the Aggron. &ldquo;Well, alright&hellip;&rdquo; The Weavile cleared his throat slightly before standing in a more authoritative pose. &ldquo;So! &ldquo;Big G&rdquo;&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Upon his name being said, the Aggron&rsquo;s laughing fit stopped but his smirk remained. &ldquo;Hehehe&hellip; Yes?&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s face would turn stoic. &ldquo;My acquaintances here say you know a way to get out of this place.&rdquo;<br />A sneezing sound would blast from Fhalmic.<br />Big G smiled wider while chuckled. &ldquo;Hehe~ I believe I do Weavile&hellip;&rdquo; He would then turn around and walk back to his corner briefly. A loud <strong><em>*THUD*</em></strong> would echo from the stomp he made.<br />Frost watched in slight wonder as the steel-type&rsquo;s mini-Earthquake opened a small hole that Big G would reach into.<br />After a few seconds of grunting the Aggron would pull out a book. &ldquo;Ahh~! There you are!&rdquo; He would exclaim proudly. He then turned back towards Frost. &ldquo;And since you&rsquo;ve passed the test, I know you can handle this&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost tilted his head. &ldquo;What &ldquo;test&rdquo;?&rsquo;<br />The Aggron didn&rsquo;t answer at first. He would instead turn to Fhalmic and yell out to him with a jovial tone. &ldquo;Oy! Worker Pet! Come here!&rdquo;<br />As Frost began to roll his eyes in frustration, Fhalmic would seem to disappear. The sudden movement halted the Weavile&rsquo;s action as the Absol seemed to reappear on the other side of the Aggron.<br />Frost watched in shock Fhalmic&rsquo;s annoyingly prideful look had completely dissipated and was replaced with an innocent, puppy dog-like face. The Weavile shook his head as images of Lotus&rsquo;s curious yet innocent face flashed in his mind. &ldquo;N-No&hellip;&rdquo; Frost hated that he could feel his own voice crack in fear. &ldquo;No way&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Hahaha! Yes way~&hellip;&rdquo; Big G chuckled and patted the happily panting dark-type as he stared down the fearful Weavile. &ldquo;I call it the &ldquo;Worker&rsquo;s Test&rdquo;&hellip;&rdquo; The Aggron effortlessly opened and flipped the book he was holding to a specific page before showing to Frost, all with his single free hand. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a simple three phrases which act on the instilled commands a corrupted pokemon gains. It only works on those who can&rsquo;t control their corruption or are mentally devolved from it&hellip; A.k.a-&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Worker Pets&hellip;&rdquo; Frost finished. The Weavile stared intensely at the page. &ldquo;Corruption banks off of primal instincts&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Aggron nodded. &ldquo;Yep~ All of these phrases are commands that alert a Pet to be ready to receive commands in the basic sense&hellip;&rdquo; The large steel-type would seamlessly transition to scratching under Fhalmic&rsquo;s chin gaining a moan from the Absol as he haplessly leaned into the touch. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re too corrupted you&rsquo;ll involuntarily be brought to by any version of those phrases.&rdquo;<br />Frost would close his eyes as his mind began to make sense of the Aggron&rsquo;s words. &ldquo;I see&hellip; I understand you now&hellip; But&hellip; Why did you use my Pet name if I didn&rsquo;t respond to you the first time?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Silly, inept Weavile&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost&rsquo;s attention was immediately brought down to the Absol again. The dark-type&rsquo;s innocent face had transformed back into his snide, prideful look. While he was no longer leaning into nor moaning at the Aggron&rsquo;s touch, he didn&rsquo;t fight against it either. &ldquo;You&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Big G would let out an audible cough before looking down at Fhalmic with a stern face. &ldquo;Lotus&hellip; Pets don&rsquo;t talk like that to fellow Pets&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Mmmph~&rdquo;<br />Horror returned to Frost&rsquo;s face as the Absol would shiver and moan. His slightly glowing eyes would briefly close before opening with a harrowing purplish hue.<br />&ldquo;Mmmnn~ S-Sorry Frost&hellip;&rdquo; Fhalmic looked at Weavile with genuine, unnerving sadness. He seemed to frown in regret as he pulled away from the Aggron and bowed solemnly at Frost. &ldquo;Lotus is truly sorry&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Big G would chuckle again as the Absol cringed and shivered yet again. When he reopened his eyes, the corruptive hue had vanished.<br />&ldquo;Heh&hellip; But I&rsquo;m still not&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost gulped. &ldquo;F-Fhalmic&hellip;&rdquo; He would twitch in surprise to see Ashley smile at him.<br />&ldquo;It happens to all of us Frost&hellip; If you&rsquo;re corrupted enough the name makes them take over&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Big G nodded. &ldquo;Mmhmm~ For Fhal here, it&rsquo;s Lotus&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Weavile would frown as the former mercenary stuck his muzzle up proudly.<br />&ldquo;For lurker boy over there&hellip;&rdquo; Ashley would gesture to Fracture.<br />&ldquo;Dire~&hellip;&rdquo; He would say with a sensual and cheeky tone from his sitting position.<br />The Heliolisk would then gesture do herself with a blush. &ldquo;A-And&hellip; I ended up with two because my owners couldn&rsquo;t settle on one&hellip; Abel when I&rsquo;m working Ada w-when I&rsquo;m not&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Frost could only shake his head in disgust. &ldquo;Why!?&rdquo; He would shout. &ldquo;W-Why do you all sound PROUD of this!?&rdquo;<br />The Weavile would hear a sigh and <em>*tsk*</em> sound from the Aggron. He would look up in shock to see the Aggron&hellip; frowning?<br />&ldquo;Harumph&hellip; They can&rsquo;t help it Frost&hellip;&rdquo; The Aggron would flip to another page of the book and seem to read it. &ldquo;When you accept enough of the corruption it warps how you see your tainted self&hellip; You end up loving what you&rsquo;ve become&hellip;&rdquo; He looked up as a smile would slowly return. &ldquo;When I said your name, that was yet another test. If you were too corrupted, your Corrupted self would have taken over you there.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Heh~ But you were strong enough to fight it&hellip;&rdquo; Fhalmic seemed to give the ice-type a genuinely positive smile. &ldquo;Congratulations fearful Weavile~&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Tch&hellip;&rdquo; Frost merely shook his head but accepted the Northern pokemon&rsquo;s backhanded praise for him. He would then look at Big G resolutely. &ldquo;Is there any other Corruption tests you need me to do?&rdquo;<br />Big G smiled. &ldquo;NOPE~! Congrats! I can work on getting you out of here~&rdquo;<br />The Weavile smirked valiantly. His eyes lit up with a fiery passion. &ldquo;Nice! Need me to do anything!?&rdquo;<br />The Aggron chortled before scratching his stomach. &ldquo;Hahaha! Not really! However&hellip;&rdquo; His face seemed to turn serious. &ldquo;I do need to ask you one last question&hellip;&rdquo; He began to lumber over to the Weavile.<br />Frost waited until the large pokemon was uncomfortably close to him again. &ldquo;That being?&rdquo; He tested.<br />Big G knelt down as best as he could to eye-level with the Weavile. An ominous smile seemed to take over his face. &ldquo;&hellip; How good is your pain tolerance?&rdquo;<br /><br /><strong><em>Stonehaven, Zen and Kol&rsquo;s House, Early Afternoon<br />Zendus and Kollack and Icy</em></strong><br /><br />&ldquo;Humph&hellip;&rdquo; Zen frowned as he slightly adjusted his blue scarf with his one arm. &ldquo;I think I got it wrong again&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol looked up from his own scarf knot. He smiled softly at the sight. &ldquo;Zen, hun, how? I just tightened it for you&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Zoroark flattened his ears. &ldquo;Yeah? But you know I like it looser&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol blushed and narrowed his eyes at his mate. &ldquo;Yeah hun?&rdquo;<br />The dark type&rsquo;s ears would then shoot up in surprise as his statement dawned on him. &ldquo;Oh&hellip;&rdquo; <br />The Lycanroc chuckled. &ldquo;Hehe~ Guess I don&rsquo;t always fit the bill. Sorry&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Zen blushed heavily as he brought his unbandaged hand to the scarf again. &ldquo;S-Shut up you&hellip; Come and help me so we&rsquo;re not late for this thing&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol smiled softly while nodding. He wordlessly sauntered over to his mate and wrapped his paws around the Zoroark&rsquo;s scarf.<br />In a few tugs and pulls, the Overseer&rsquo;s scarf was tightened again. &ldquo;There we go~ Is it &lsquo;too tight&rsquo; for you still?&rdquo;<br />Zen smirked as his blush reddened. &ldquo;Hmph&hellip; Your tone changed a lot from this morning&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol chuckled while keeping his smile. &ldquo;Well&hellip; If it weren&rsquo;t for our talk and getting to play wi-&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;MASTER! MASTERS! I FOUND IT!&rdquo;<br />The couple would look towards their bedroom door to find a starry-eyed Weavile. He panted slightly as his semi-erect barbed cock hung freely as his &ldquo;tail&rdquo; wagged with pride. Within his claws, a blue and black leash was being gripped tightly.<br />&nbsp;&ldquo;ICY FOUND MASTER&rsquo;S LEASH!&rdquo; The pet shouted with enthusiasm again. A slight tinge of purple seemed to emanate from his eyes as he smiled widely.<br />Zen would smirk while Kol chuckled lovingly. &ldquo;Daww~ Good job Icy~!&rdquo; Kol would say.<br />The Weavile pet turned happily towards the Lycanroc and bounded towards him. He would stop short of his master and gently place the leash in front of him. <br />Kol&rsquo;s paws would find themselves resting against his heart. The ice-type looked so wondrous and cute. &ldquo;Ehehehe~ Such a good boy~! Thank you~&rdquo;<br />Icy&rsquo;s smile widened further as his master&rsquo;s paw began to move from his chest to the pet&rsquo;s head. Time seemed to slow down for the Weavile as he could feel the coming warmth of the Lycanroc&rsquo;s paw. He instinctively began to lean forward in anticipation&hellip; &ldquo;Mmmgf~ Aaaah~&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Uhh. Kol? Is he&hellip;?&rdquo; Zen could only look on in pure surprise.<br />The Lycanroc looked towards his mate with a cheeky smile. He kept his paw on the moaning pet as he slowly scratched at a particular spot on the Weavile&rsquo;s head. &ldquo;Mmhmm. He is~&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Mmmrrfff~&rdquo; Icy breathed in deeply as he felt his master&rsquo;s paw smother his head with warmth. His mind immediately brought itself back to Charon&rsquo;s lovely words&hellip; <em>Pets must pay a toll for their rewards&hellip; Yes&hellip; Icy paid the toll~</em> &ldquo;Hnnnggh~&rdquo; <em>I-I found the collar just like Master asked me too~ N-Now I-I can-</em> &ldquo;MMmammm~ Haaaggh~&rdquo; <br />Zen continued staring in astonishment as he witnessed the Weavile pet&rsquo;s knot finally pop out of his sheathe. Precum slowly dribbled from the large, barbed organ, making a bigger mess on the couple&rsquo;s floor. &ldquo;Oh my&hellip; He produces a lot of pre huh?&rdquo;<br />Kol would nod in agreement. &ldquo;Yep~ I found out when I trained him this morning!&rdquo;<br />The Zoroark gave his mate a wry smile. &ldquo;Hmph, I see&hellip; Wish I could have seen it.&rdquo; <br />Kol briefly stopped his petting as his jovial expression noticeably saddened. &ldquo;Y-Yeah&hellip; I-I&rsquo;m sorry Zen&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Zen rested his hand on his mate, his smile turning into a slight frown. &ldquo;Hey&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Lycanroc&rsquo;s face quickly brightened again. &ldquo;Heh~ D-Don&rsquo;t worry hun! I&rsquo;m not going back down that thought process. I just&hellip;&rdquo; He paused briefly as he looked back down to Icy. <br />The poor pet was giving him a worried expression. His wide eyes looked hungrily at the Lycanroc&rsquo;s paw.<br />&ldquo;That moment we had during training&hellip;&rdquo; Kol slowly placed his paw back onto the pet, immediately bring back the pokemon&rsquo;s moaning. He would give his mate a lustful smile. &ldquo;It was beautiful&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Zen&rsquo;s expression softened as he witnessed a blush cross Kol&rsquo;s face. The Zoroark remembered hearing the Weavile&rsquo;s distant moans and grunts as he drifted off to sleep near the two. All he had heard was the start of Kol training the Pet but the subtle pain of his injury gradually had lulled him to sleep before the main event. &ldquo;Heh~ I can only imagine.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;MMmmf~ Mmmoorre~&rdquo; Icy panted heavily as the heat of his master&rsquo;s paw found his head again. I he couldn&rsquo;t understand why his master stopped. He feared he had made a mistake. But that couldn&rsquo;t be right! Right!? Thankfully he never needed to question it for longer. Especially because&hellip; &ldquo;MMnnnngh~ Hfff~!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Hehehe~ Found his spot~&rdquo;<br />Zen raised an eyebrow at his mate&rsquo;s statement before hearing the Weavile moan slightly louder.<br />&ldquo;Huffff~ HAaaaggh~ Nnnnngh~!&rdquo; The pet planted one of his clawed hands along the wall as he hopelessly thrusted the air. His cock twitched heavily as a sizeable amount of cum shot out of him. He would shiver and push his head further into his master&rsquo;s caress. &ldquo;MMmmfff!&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Kol&rsquo;s smile merely widened while Zen stared down in complete amazement. &ldquo;H-Holy crap Kol! I didn&rsquo;t know you could do that!&rdquo;<br />The Lycanroc chuckled. &ldquo;Heh. I didn&rsquo;t know either. Until this morning at least&hellip;&rdquo; He would shift his left leg back slightly as more of the pet&rsquo;s cum splatter near the spot. &ldquo;Mmmh~ Someone&rsquo;s making quite the mess~&rdquo;<br />Icy happily blushed at the comment. No. That wasn&rsquo;t just any comment! That was a compliment! <em>Praise! M-Master praised me!</em> The Weavile pet&rsquo;s felt his blush redden further. <em>I-Icy cummed and Master liked it~!</em> &ldquo;Aaaagh~&rdquo;<br />Kol lovingly shook his head as the pet&rsquo;s humping slowed down. &ldquo;Heh. Love you too buddy.&rdquo; He then looked back to his mate. &ldquo;Oh! You wanna see how his training went?&rdquo;<br />Zen&rsquo;s eyes lit up. &ldquo;Ooh~ I would love to see the aftermath~&rdquo; <br />The Lycanroc chuckled. &ldquo;Hehe. Hey Icy! Can you show us your ass?&rdquo;<br />The pet&rsquo;s ears lifted in acknowledgement of the command. As his orgasm faded he had started to feel tired but his master&rsquo;s voice reinvigorated him. He quickly shook his head before looking up at the Lycanroc. &ldquo;H-Huh?&rdquo;<br />Zen chuckled at the Weavile&rsquo;s confused face. &ldquo;Can you show your master how your anal training went Icy~?&rdquo;<br />Icy tilted his head. <em>Training&hellip; anal&hellip;</em> It took a few long seconds for the words to make sense to him. &ldquo;O-Oh! Master wants to see training!?&rdquo; \t<br />The couple couldn&rsquo;t help but blush as the pet smiled and turned back from the two. He would happily bend forwards and present himself.<br />Zen was quick to notice the slightly the Weavile&rsquo;s discolored anal ring. He huffed lustfully as he moved his uninjured hand to close to the pet&rsquo;s well-used tailhole. &ldquo;Hmm&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Aaaaahhhfff~&rdquo; Icy shivered as he felt three giant digits worm their way into his hole. &ldquo;Mmmmh~&rdquo; He moaned as his master&rsquo;s fingers stretched him. His softening cock immediately hardened again.<br />&ldquo;Heheh&hellip; hmm~&rdquo; Zen smirked darkly at the writhing pet. He inched his fingers deeper into the Weavile&rsquo;s warm depths, earning more desperate moans from them. One particular spread the Zoroark made showed him a lovely, gaped hole. It was paltry to what the Zoroark gave his mate but it was a good start. The Zoroark then side-eyed his mate.<br />Kol blushed heavily at his mate&rsquo;s lustful smirk. He couldn&rsquo;t lie to himself. Witnessing Zen slowly spread and stretch Icy&rsquo;s ass was&hellip; hot. &ldquo;H-Holy fuck Zen&hellip;&rdquo; The Lycanroc gulped as his heart fluttered in both envy and lust.<br />The Zoroark continued. &ldquo;Yeah Kol~?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;U-Uhmm&hellip;&rdquo; Kol&rsquo;s blush reddened as he felt his own paws find his anus. His eyes widened. He couldn&rsquo;t remember how his paw ended up there. &ldquo;Uuhh. G-Go easy on him&hellip; H-He&rsquo;s not me&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;But you trained him no~?&rdquo; Zen only seemed to go deeper into the pet, earning more moans out of the Weavile below him.<br />&ldquo;Mmf~ Y-Yeah?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Then he should be fine~&hellip;&rdquo; The Zoroark&rsquo;s eyes began to trail down to his mate&rsquo;s growing cock. He smiled wider as he let his darker thoughts take over. &ldquo;Unless&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol gasped as the room seemed to grow hazy. A lewd, domineering purple seemed to emanate from his mate. It mixed with Icy&rsquo;s corrupted smile, warping the Lycanroc&rsquo;s senses even more. &ldquo;U-Unless?&rdquo; He couldn&rsquo;t understand why he was feeling this way. Part of him knew it was his corruption talking but he could&rsquo;ve sworn he had attained full control over it over these few years.<br />&ldquo;Unless&hellip; You fucked him while I was sleeping huh~?&rdquo; Zen narrowed his corrupted eyes seductively. Kol&rsquo;s red face turned the reddest the Zoroark had ever seen. He chuckled a little at the sight.<br />&ldquo;N-No! I-I-I did NOT Zen&hellip; Mmmhf~&rdquo; The Lycanroc still couldn&rsquo;t understand what was happening. His mate&rsquo;s sensual eyes only made his crotch warmer. His&nbsp;&nbsp;He looked down in a mixture of pride and embarrassment as his fully erect cock throbbed. <br />Icy was quick to notice a new beautiful scent in the warped air. It smelled very familiar to a scent the pet began to smell when he first trained with his masters. He was too tired to understand it at time but now he could see. In between his Zoroark master probing deeper into his ass, his eyes managed to trail towards the lovely figure of his other master. &ldquo;HHnnn~ M-Master&rsquo;s cock~&hellip;&rdquo;<br />From what the pet could see, his Lycanroc Master was just as big, no! BIGGER than the rod he was trained with. It looked so juicy and gigantic! He wanted it! He needed it&hellip; <em>Mmmph~ I-Icy must do this&hellip; I-I need to be worthy of such a cock~</em> He dug himself deeper into the claws invading his ass. &ldquo;Hnnngh~&rdquo; <em>More training~ Zoroark master is training my ass~</em>.<br />Zen flicked an ear at the pet&rsquo;s moaning statement. &ldquo;Hmm~ Icy seems to be saying the opposite~ Hehehe~&rdquo; He spread and stretched the Weavile&rsquo;s anus again, earning another cute moan from the tainted pet.<br />&ldquo;Ufff&hellip; Zen&hellip;&rdquo; Kol tried his best to frown but it merely became a worried smile instead. &ldquo;I would never lie. I-I would want you to see it&hellip; Hnnn~ F-Fuck!&rdquo; The Lycanroc moaned as his cock throbbed again. He blushed harder as his knot began to form.<br />&ldquo;Oh my~&rdquo; Zen lustfully leaned towards his mate. Icy was forced to crawl forwards slightly to accommodate the Zoroark&rsquo;s movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a while since I&rsquo;ve gotten a full look at that beauty&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol gulped as he looked back up to his mate. &ldquo;Y-Yeah? That is true&hellip; Would normally have the cage on&hellip; B-But&hellip; Hufff~&rdquo; He shivered as he felt his cock throb again&hellip; It was such a foreign feeling to him now. Having his cock teeter on the edge of an orgasm while not confined to his usual cage was not something the Lycanroc had felt in a very long time. &ldquo;Aagh~ T-This whole thing is&hellip; distraaccting&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Zoroark raised an eyebrow. &ldquo;Distracting~? I&rsquo;m just getting him ready for us~&rdquo;<br />Kol tilted his head. &ldquo;H-Huh? Zen. You&rsquo;re n-not making sense&hellip; Mmfh~ W-We have an event we need to go to&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Zen remained unbothered. The dark type would instead plunge his paw deeper into Icy. At this point the Zoroark&rsquo;s entire paw was deep inside the pet. &ldquo;Hehehe~ I think we have all the time in the world~&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;AAaaagh~ M-Masterrrr&hellip;&rdquo; Icy&rsquo;s tongue lolled out of his mouth as his Master&rsquo;s paw only seemed to plunge itself deeper into him. A mix of pain and pleasure pulsed through his body. &ldquo;&hellip;Mmmgh~ Soo m-muuch&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol gasped at sight. &ldquo;Huufff~ F-Fuck&hellip; Y-Your whole hand i-is inside him~&rdquo; His wry smile returned. &ldquo;C-C-Careful Hun. He&rsquo;s not at t-that point y-yet! Y-Y-You might break him&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The Lycanroc seemed to mean it half-heartedly. He breathed in deeply again as the thought of it happening permeated in his mind. He gulped as his cock throbbed needily again.<br />Zen merely chuckled. &ldquo;Heh~ Looks like all of us would be fine with that.&rdquo; He then slid his hand back out. <br />Kol blushed and waved his hand. &ldquo;N-No wait H-Huunn&hellip; Mmmph~&rdquo; His cock betrayed him again with another throb. He bit his lip slightly as his own pre began trickling onto the floor.<br />&ldquo;AAAfffggh~ Sooo muuuch~&rdquo; Icy could feel his vision cloud as his balls tensed again. He pushed back and clenched hard on his master&rsquo;s paw as his cock spurted even more of his own cum onto the ground. &ldquo;MMMMmmph~ Haaaaghh~&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Goood boy Icy~&rdquo; The Zoroark fought back against the pet&rsquo;s want to milk his paw. With every pulse, he stretched his fingers widening the ice type&rsquo;s anus more and more. &ldquo;Very, very, good boy~ I&rsquo;m impressed~&rdquo;<br />Icy&rsquo;s heart was fluttering as he panted out loud moans. &ldquo;Hufff~ HAAAaah~ Yessss!&rdquo; He looked back between his masters with shameless pride. &ldquo;Hmmmph~ I-Icy is&hellip; S-so happy~&rdquo;<br />Kol couldn&rsquo;t help himself at the sight. Despite all of his efforts and worries about their events, the scene in front of him had more priority now. He would let his resistance fade as the purplish room became mistier and more vibrant. He brought his own paw down to his sensitive cock, shivering as he played with the base of the knot. &ldquo;Huufff~ T-This is&hellip; heaven~&rdquo;<br />The coupled and their pet would revel in the lust for a few moments before Zen continued his anal assault. Even after two orgasms, the Zoroark knew their Pet had more stamina to spill. And he planned to milk the Weavile for every last drop. It&rsquo;s what he deserved after all~ And plus, what&rsquo;s the worst that will happen? This foul little ice-type breaking? Why would anyone need to worry about that? Anything and everything can always be fixed with time and he and Kol had all the time in the worl-<br /><strong><em>*BOOM!*<br />*CRACKLE!*</em></strong><br />The ground would shake heavily as a flash of light appeared outside. The corruptive haze seemed to dissipate instantly. Zen and Kol&rsquo;s smirk and blush respectively would turn into confused yet worried looks. <br />Kol would trudge over to the two&rsquo;s window and peer outside. His eyes widened in shock as he witnessed a particularly bad rainstorm pour directly over their neighbor&rsquo;s house.<br />The Lycanroc began to shiver as his heart sank somewhat. &ldquo;U-Uhmm. Err&hellip; I-I think Ashton is angry Zen&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;&hellip; Huh?&rdquo; Zen quickly shook himself out of his lewd stupor. Any traces of the corruptive purple also dissipated instantly. He would yank his arm from his pet&rsquo;s warm insides and scurry over to his mate.<br />&ldquo;Aaaauufh~ Wait M-Master~! Hnnng&hellip;&rdquo; The needy Weavile shivered as his anal hole flexed against the empty air that rushed into it. He gritted his teeth as he longingly watched his Zoroark Master&rsquo;s wet hand saunter away from him.<br />Icy&rsquo;s heart sank. I-It&rsquo;s over? D-Did Icy do something wrong!? He whimpered in the direction of his Masters.<br />The pet&rsquo;s whining would seem to fall on deaf ears as Zen cautiously peered out of the window. He would sweat at the sight of black clouds hovering above their house. He eased himself slightly as the blanket seemed to center above Ashton&rsquo;s own house rather than their own. &ldquo;Uhh&hellip; Heh. L-Looks like he&rsquo;s upset at something happening in his house? I-I think we&rsquo;re fine.&rdquo;<br />Another bolt of lightning would crackle out of the sky and strike the top of their neighbor&rsquo;s house. The couple would sigh in relief as the clearer sign revealed where the Politoed&rsquo;s anger likely resided.<br />Kol smiled as Zen wiped the sweat from his forehead.<br />&ldquo;Phew~ Welp! We&rsquo;re not gonna get electrocuted again!&rdquo;<br />The Lycanroc nodded. &ldquo;Yeah. A what a relief!&rdquo; He then turned away and tugged on his scarf. &ldquo;Ehehe~ N-Now then. What was that whole thing?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Huh?&rdquo; Zen would also turn away and step back to the center of the room.<br />&ldquo;You know~. T-That whole fisting Icy thing? You were pushing him a lot.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Uffffnn~&rdquo; Icy moaned loudly as he heard his lovely name be spoken. His eyes managed to meet his Lycanroc Master as he gave the wolf a needy look.<br />Kol blushed at the Pet before turning back to his mate. &ldquo;You were getting him addicted to your hands at a time when we need to be leaving! Hehe~&rdquo;<br />Zen chuckled innocently. &ldquo;Heheh. I-I don&rsquo;t even know what happened Love. I just&hellip; couldn&rsquo;t ignore the feeling.&rdquo;<br />The Lycanroc&rsquo;s eye&rsquo;s widened. &ldquo;Oh? W-Wait! You felt that corruptive air too!?&rdquo;<br />Zen nodded. &ldquo;Yeah. It felt wrong to ignore.&rdquo; He would then begin pondering. &ldquo;The feeling felt incredibly similar to our Corruption Ceremony&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Kol pondered for a bit. &ldquo;Hmm&hellip; Yeah I guess you&rsquo;re right. Maybe it was a good thing we did that huh?&rdquo;<br />The couple would end up smiling at each other as memories began popping up in their minds. Icy&rsquo;s gaze would travel between them as their smiles and blushes grew more extreme.<br />&nbsp;&ldquo;Huuufff~ I can still feel the intense pressure of those tendrils&hellip;&rdquo; Kol would shiver as he hungrily reminisced his ceremony.<br />Zen chuckled as his own mind did the same. &ldquo;Heheh~ Same Love~ That whole feeling was just like us being tested!&rdquo; He would proudly brush his own snout. &ldquo;And what pokemon of Stonehaven would I be if I didn&rsquo;t!?&rdquo;<br />Kol&rsquo;s eyes began to light up at the Zoroark&rsquo;s proud pose. &ldquo;OOOH! You wouldn&rsquo;t be my SEXY HUSBAND!&rdquo; He thoughtfully bounded towards his mate and embraced him. &ldquo;Hehehe~ Mmmh~ I&rsquo;m so happy we both succeeded&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Zen nuzzled himself deep into the Lycanroc&rsquo;s mane. &ldquo;Huff~ What would I do without you&hellip;?&rdquo;<br />Kol chuckled. &ldquo;Hehehe~ I-I never want to think of that timeline.&rdquo;<br />Icy started to give the couple an annoyed frown. <em>Th-They&rsquo;re ignoring me? Why? W-Why are Master&rsquo;s ignoring me!?</em><br />The Weavile Pet abandoned his Zoroark Master&rsquo;s old command and padded towards the two and would sit very close to them. He hesitated slightly but nudged both of his Master&rsquo;s thighs. &ldquo;Hmmmrph?&rdquo;<br />Zen and Kol&rsquo;s ears would flick at the sound. They looked down to see their upset Pet. Zen chuckled at the look while Kol gasped in surprise.<br />&ldquo;Hehehe~ Looks like we forgot someone~&rdquo;<br />Kol pouted at the Zoroark. &ldquo;Hmph~ More like YOU forgot someone. You&rsquo;re the one talking silly.&rdquo;<br />Zen tilted his head. A playful smirk washed over his face. &ldquo;Me? I don&rsquo;t know what you&rsquo;re talking about! Icy is BOTH of our problems~&rdquo;<br />Icy merely narrowed his eyes before pawing at both of them. &ldquo;Why did testing stop? D-Did Icy do something wrong?&rdquo;<br />Zen chuckled again as he brought his hand down to pet the dark type. &ldquo;No Icy. You didn&rsquo;t do anything hehe~ We just got caught up in something.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Buuut~ Since that&rsquo;s over we can get back to getting READY!&rdquo; The Lycanroc pushed back against his mate with a loving smirk. He would move his paws up to the Zoroark&rsquo;s chest before settling on their scarf.<br />Zen&rsquo;s scarf seemed to have loosened yet again. It hung lazily over his neck and was crudely off-centered. All Kol could do was shake his head as he steadily shifted the fabric back into place. He then reached behind the scruff of Zen&rsquo;s neck to tighten it again.<br />&ldquo;There. So much better Hun~&rdquo; Kol pecked his mate on the snout before stepping out of their embrace. He then stepped back and looked over himself. He couldn&rsquo;t help but blush at the dried precum that coated his crotch. His cock had already begun to hastily retreat into his sheath. He would shake his head before adjusting his own scarf.<br />The Lycanroc&rsquo;s own blue scarf was similarly off-centered. Unlike his mate it bore a single green stripe, one the wolf was very proud of. Alas, the achievement meant nothing now. His and his mate&rsquo;s Reputation still teetered on the edge. If it wasn&rsquo;t for them lucking out they likely wouldn&rsquo;t have these scarves anymore.<br />With a few tugs and pulls Kol&rsquo;s Overseer scarf was now in perfect standard. He couldn&rsquo;t help but smile proudly at the amount of care he put into the adjustments.<br />&ldquo;Heh~ Still just as gentle and precise as ever huh?&rdquo;<br />Kol looked up to witness Zen smugly smirking at him. He narrowed his eyes before rolling them. &ldquo;Hmph~ Shut you.&rdquo;<br />The Zoroark snickered. &ldquo;Kehehe~ Still don&rsquo;t want me teasing?&rdquo;<br />Kol stuck his nose up and turned to walk towards their door. &ldquo;Hmph~ No comment. I have to take our Pet to get fitted!&rdquo;<br />Zen&rsquo;s snickering turned into laughter as Icy turned towards the Lycanroc. &ldquo;&hellip;Fitted?&rdquo; The Weavile tilted his head in curiosity. &ldquo;W-What is&hellip;?&rdquo;<br />Zen would pat the Pet on the head before walking over and picking up the discarded leash. &ldquo;Come on Icy! Let&rsquo;s go for walkies~!&rdquo;<br />Icy froze up. That question&hellip; That word&hellip; &ldquo;W-wha?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Walkies~&rdquo; The Zoroark master repeated. &ldquo;Wanna go for a walk boy?&rdquo;<br />Something clicked in the Weavile&rsquo;s mind. His questions disappeared. His annoyance vanished. That word&hellip; <em>Walkies&hellip; Walkies? A &ldquo;walk&rdquo;?</em> His head tilted to the other side as the word repeated itself again. <em>Walkies&hellip;</em> &ldquo;&hellip;Walk? A walk!?&rdquo; His eyes would light up as his tail began to wag. &ldquo;Walk!? Yess! Walk! I want walkies!&rdquo;<br />Kol chuckled at the Pet as his mate gestured for them. &ldquo;Come on then boy! Let&rsquo;s go!&rdquo;<br />Icy&rsquo;s face shined the brightest, dumbest smile as he bounded towards his Masters. As he reached their feet, he would hear an elating <strong><em>*CLICK!*</em></strong><br />Zen and Kol smiled warmly as their Pet marveled at simple black collar and the blue and black leash that snugly attached itself to it. Zen would give the leash a light tug. Their Pet happily obliged, walking alongside them both as they made their way out of the door.<br /><br /><strong><em>Stonehaven, Lunar Medallions, Early Afternoon</em></strong><br /><br />Nestled in between several outlet stores was a shop Zen had always wanted to visit again. The Ursaring that ran it was an older friend of the Zoroark when he was younger. The two unfortunately couldn&rsquo;t stay too connected, especially due to Stonehaven&rsquo;s rules.<br />Zen would shake himself as he felt a soft paw rub him. &ldquo;Huh?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;You alright Zen?&rdquo;<br />The Zoroark shook himself again before peering at his mate. That warm, charming smile eased his mind. &ldquo;Oh! Y-Yeah! It&rsquo;s just&hellip; it&rsquo;s been years since I&rsquo;ve talked to Mav.&rdquo; He would scratch the back of his head with his unbandaged arm.<br />Icy yelped slightly as his Zoroark master tugged on his leash. He looked up to see him scratching his head. He frowned slightly. His own head began to feel cold. Why isn&rsquo;t his master petting him the same way? &ldquo;Hnng?&rdquo;<br />Zen quickly looked down at the Weavile. &ldquo;Oh crud! I&rsquo;m sorry Icy hehe.&rdquo; He brought his hand down, allowing the dark type to nestle back down. Alas, that didn&rsquo;t seem to quell the odd frown the Pet now had.<br />Kol simply chuckled as he then walked to the wooden door of the store and give it a polite knock. He would step back as some rustling would echo behind the door for a few seconds.<br />The door would soon open revealing a towering brown Ursaring. A gruff frown sat on his face as he seemed to be wiping off his hands with a rag. He would then shove the rag into an apron pocket that was slung over the bear pokemon&rsquo;s lower waist.<br />Zen and Icy would take a gulp and take a step back while Kol gave him a wave.<br />&ldquo;Hiya Mav!&rdquo; The Lycanroc smiled happily.<br />The Ursaring nodded towards him before looking between the Zoroark and Weavile. He would then take a step forwards.<br />Zen&rsquo;s heart began to beat fast as Mav stepped even closer. &ldquo;H-Hey buddy~ Nice to see ya again.&rdquo;<br />Mav seemed to grunt uncaringly before stopping his gaze solely on Icy.<br />Zen&rsquo;s eyes would widen at the staring bear. &ldquo;Oh! Th-This here is Icy, our new Pet! I&rsquo;m sure you saw~&rdquo; He began to elaborate. Unfortunately, the Ursaring seemed unbothered. Zen would step closer between them as he noticed the Pet&rsquo;s growing fear. &ldquo;W-We were here t-to- &rdquo;<br />&ldquo;GRRN-hmm&hellip;&rdquo; A loud grunt combined with a giant paw clamping the Zoroark&rsquo;s mouth brought silence to the area. Mav would keep his eyes squarely on the Pet.<br />Kol&rsquo;s own smile would turn nervous. &ldquo;Uhm&hellip; Mav?&rdquo; When he didn&rsquo;t get a response, he would look to Icy. &ldquo;Icy? Are you alright?&rdquo;<br />Icy was feeling an odd mix of emotions. This strange pokemon was looming over him, piercing deep into his soul with mysterious yet stern eyes. The Pet felt like he should have been scared but the more he looked into those eyes the more he&hellip; understood?<br />The Pet couldn&rsquo;t help but feel safe in those eyes. They reminded him of Charon&rsquo;s smile. This big bear wasn&rsquo;t his master but he was&hellip; trustworthy. &ldquo;H-Hi~&rdquo; A smile finally washed over his face.<br />The Ursaring&rsquo;s frown immediately turned into a gleeful smile. The ominous atmosphere dissipated as a loud &ldquo;Garumph!&rdquo; echoed from Mav&rsquo;s throat. He would bring both of his hands near the Weavile&rsquo;s face. His claws slowly began to brush near the Pet&rsquo;s face, the tips of his claws connecting at seemingly random points.<br />&ldquo;Uufff~&rdquo; Icy shivered at the soft feeling as the claws seemed to wrap around him. <em>I-It&rsquo;s okay Icy&hellip; They are f-friend~</em> He happily reminded himself. <em>Th-They are h-helping&hellip;</em> He blushed at one particular rub the Ursaring had done. &ldquo;Mmmf~&rdquo;<br />Zen and Kol looked on in astonishment as Mav slowly measured out the Weavile&rsquo;s neck and collar. All the while, the bear&rsquo;s happy smile remained. The couple would then stare at each other before shrugging at the same time.<br />It would take Mav another minute before he finished his measurements. The Pet&rsquo;s blushing and moaning would end in slight confusion as Mav retracted his claws. He then stood up tall and nodded before quietly turning away and walking back into his store.<br />&ldquo;Uhh wait Mav- &rdquo; Kol was about to reach out to the Ursaring but would find Zen&rsquo;s hand stopping him. The Lycanroc would raise an eyebrow at him.<br />Zen could only chuckle as his mind finally managed to process the whole thing. &ldquo;Hehehe~ Still his same old self. Quiet and only focused on the subject of his work.&rdquo;<br />Kol tilted his head. &ldquo;But&hellip; We didn&rsquo;t get to tell him what we wanted for the party.&rdquo;<br />Zen merely chuckled louder. &ldquo;Heh~ If Mav is the same old Mav, he already knows. That guy has very potent instincts.&rdquo;<br />His mate shrugged. &ldquo;If you say so Hun.&rdquo;<br />Icy stared at the door his friend disappeared behind. He continued to match the smile they once had. He could hear some distant banging and shuffling behind the door. It made him step forwards a few steps. <em>F-Friend left&hellip; Friend will return&hellip;</em><br />&ldquo;Excuse me&hellip;&rdquo;<br />The couple and their Pet would turn behind them to find a small Teddiursa looking through them. She seemed to hold tightly onto a bag slung around her.<br />Kol would smile and wave while Zen&rsquo;s eyes would light up. &ldquo;Daww~ Heey Karza!&rdquo;<br />A smile would briefly flash over the cubs face before returning to a neutral, bored face. &ldquo;Sup. Uhh&hellip; Can I get past y&rsquo;all so I can get home?&rdquo;<br />Zen happily nodded and pulled at Icy&rsquo;s leash. Despite the curiosity the Weavile had, he would obediently follow in the direction of the pull. <br />As they did so, Icy would hear the noises inside stop. Thunderous footsteps would echo before the store&rsquo;s door opened again. Icy couldn&rsquo;t help but smile wider as the big bear&rsquo;s gaze quickly landed on him.<br />&ldquo;Hey Pa&hellip;&rdquo; Karza would say before walking past all of them and into the store. She would grab the door handle before turning back to face her father. &ldquo;Uh. Ma will be home later, she walked me partway through before saying she needed to head to the markets&hellip;&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Hmmn&hellip;&rdquo; Mav would let out a grunt of acknowledgement in her direction before signaling something to her with one hand.<br />The Teddiursa rolled her eyes and huffed. &ldquo;Hmph. Yes sir&hellip; I&rsquo;ll get it all done before dinner&hellip;&rdquo; <br />Mav would give her a smile and seemed to make half a heart symbol with his one hand.<br />Karza merely narrowed her eyes and shook her head. &ldquo;Love you too&hellip; Bye!&rdquo; She then shut the door behind her.<br />Zen couldn&rsquo;t help but laugh. &ldquo;Hahahaha~ She&rsquo;s still such a ball of sunshine!&rdquo;<br />Mav would turn back to the Zoroark, complete with a scowl.<br />Zen&rsquo;s laughter would immediately stop as he frowned in embarrassment. &ldquo;Oh! S-Sorry. I-I didn&rsquo;t mean to overstep&hellip;&rdquo;<br />Strangely, the Ursaring&rsquo;s face would contort into a smile as he hacked out a chuckle. &ldquo;Hur-hurn-hrn~&rdquo;<br />Zen&rsquo;s frown relaxed into a smile at the nostalgic laughter. &ldquo;Heheh~ Whew~ Y-You still get me with those frowns Mav!&rdquo;<br />The Ursaring proudly smirked at him before turning his gaze back to Icy.<br />The Weavile&rsquo;s eyes were flitted in curiosity. He had been quick to notice something shiny hidden in the bear pokemon&rsquo;s hand.<br />Mav seemed to notice this curiosity as quickly knelt down to the Pet and, with a <strong><em>*CLICK!*</em></strong>, the Weavile&rsquo;s old collar fell away. As it did, the Ursaring would reveal something more extravagant.<br />&ldquo;AAAAHHH!&rdquo; Icy couldn&rsquo;t believe his eyes! Hovering just above him, his friend was granting him a beautiful gift! An amazing collar wrapped in a mix of reds, whites, and blacks! All of the colors of his Masters! Within the center bore a glorious patch of blue with a green dot in the middle. But still! That wasn&rsquo;t even the greatest part!<br />Kol gasped as he witnessed the medallion hanging from the collar displayed Stonehaven&rsquo;s Overseer emblem on the front while the back proudly displayed: <br />&ldquo;I am ICY, proud Pet of Overseer Zendus and Overseer Kollack!<br />If I ever seem to be lost, please return me to Zendus or Kollack!<br />Thank you!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;By the Corruption that&rsquo;s AMAZING Mav!&rdquo; Zen was ecstatic to see such a piece of art! He had known the Ursaring&rsquo;s Crafting talents were great but he had never gotten to see it so close!<br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s so beautiful!&rdquo; Kol exclaimed as he stepped closer.<br />Mav pridefully smiled at the two before looking back down to their Pet. He would do what he had always done in this scenario. Regardless of what any owner ever thought, it was up to the Pet to choose whether or not the collars and accessories he made were ever good. He would move his arms forwards slowly before stopping close to the Weavile&rsquo;s neck.<br />Icy could feel his heartbeating out of his chest. <em>T-This&hellip; This is f-for Icy! THIS IS FOR ME!?</em> His legs felt heavy and tears felt like they were crawling in the back of his eyes. He couldn&rsquo;t believe it! But&hellip; While his mind seemed frozen, his body began moving on its own. <br />The Pet would step once&hellip;<br />Then once more&hellip;<br />And again&hellip;<br />He gave his giant friend the biggest smile he could muster through his tears as his body leaned forwards.<br />Instantly, the Weavile&rsquo;s neck was swaddled in warmth. He looked down at the snugly fitted collar and drooled frantically at the shining medal hanging below it. &ldquo;I-Icy has collar&hellip; N-New collar. F-Friend gave him new COLLAR!&rdquo;<br />Zen and Kol nodded at the giddy Pet as he began cupping the medallion in his hands. He would look between the couple with a childish smile.<br />&ldquo;You soo cute! Icy!&rdquo; Zen would cheer.<br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re such a handsome good boy!&rdquo; Kol added.<br />&ldquo;Heck yeah! You&rsquo;re gonna make all of the other Pets soo jealous!&rdquo; The Zoroark would walk over and click the leash back on the Weavile. &ldquo;Come, come! Let&rsquo;s go show them!&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;Yeah yeah!&rdquo; Icy happily nodded and turned away from the Ursaring.<br />Mav would stand up straight and give everyone an affirming grunt. &ldquo;Hmph!&rdquo; He then began to turn back to his store.<br />Kol would give him a wave while his mate gave him a proper pat on the back. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll be back for more!&rdquo; he would say before tugging Icy along.<br />Mav would simply wave with the back of his hand without looking. He then opened his door and disappeared behind it.<br />&nbsp;The couple looked between each other and their newly decorated Pet. Their smiles grew as they began walking towards the guild&hellip;<br /></em></strong></span>",
