[center][b]Chapter 7: The Guild’s Big Expedition Part 1: The Big Day Awaits[/b][/center] The cave lay silent, quiet of any signs of life. The occasional pitter patter of water droplets echoed through the otherwise still air. Puddles and pools of water could be found in every which way you looked, craggy pillars of rock and stone connecting from ground to ceiling with dozens of stalagmites and stalactites in view as far as the eye could see. In the deepest depths of the cave, a singular source shines bright. No Pokemon had been this far, the place hold a peculiar sacred aura about itself. It was both spoken and unspoken rule that none would disturb this land. Over time, many had since forgotten why and instead treated it as instinct. “I knew it! There… another Time Gear!” Approaching the shining object, the Pokemon’s lips curled upward in a smirk. “The second Time Gear… three more await, I’ve much work to be done...” … “UP AND AT ‘EM! IT’S MORNING!!” The usual daily routine began with the ear bursting shout of Loudred awakening our frisky ‘heroes’ from their much needed slumber after yesterday’s excessive indulgence in sexual activities. With groans and yawns alike, the couple were up and out to the main hall along with the rest of their guild members and Team Skull. “Ahem! Good morning, all~ Now that we’re all together, I will now begin listing the lineup of members who will join in the upcoming expedition. Guildmaster, may I see the memo?” Wigglytuff pulled out a sheet of paper, handing it to Chatot who began to look it over with skeptical eyes. “This paper here!… Errm, th-this paper here… has the names of all the members that will participate… in the expedition. Please step forward if your name is called!” Commotion began among the guild members as excitement and anticipation filled the air around them. Who was going to get picked? Who’d be left behind? Was that last bit of effort worth it? Did everyone push to the best of their abilities to make the cut? “Allow me to begin. Our first member is Loudred~!” “YES! I KNEW I would get picked, it’s only to be expected~” Loudred gloated, walking up with a pep in his step and standing beside Wigglytuff. The others looked at him with unamused expressions to his arrogance. Chatot cleared his throat to ensure he still had everyone’s attention. “Alright, next up is… Corphish~!” Corphish’s eyes widened in surprised, his claws waving a bit with excitement. “Hey, hey! I got picked! I got picked! Hey, hey, what a rush!” He stepped forward, taking his spot next to Loudred and Wigglytuff.. “And now we have… oh? Well well, consider me surprised! Our next pick is Bidoof!” “Guh?! R-Really? Really for realsies? Me?! By golly, I’m going on the expedition!” Bidoof trembled and teared up, a big, goofy smile on his face, tail wagging with glee. “O-ohh golly...I’m so riddled with happiness, m-my legs won’t move..!” “Well, I suppose that’s alright. Let’s move on; our next is Sunflora, oh and Chimecho too~” The two girls looked at each other with smiles, jumping for joy and stepping forward with their guildmates. “Hmm… it seems that concludes our list of candidates for the expedition.” Pecan sighed and huffed with disdain. It couldn’t be helped, she absolutely hated to admit it more than anything but it seems Team Skull really got the upper paw on them this time. And there wasn’t anything they could do about it. She refused to display weakness in their presence, however, even if it hurt not to be selected for the expedition. She’d just have to tough it up for now. “Eh? Erm… now what might this be?” Chatot spoke up, looking over the paper again. [i]Oh dear… the handwriting is so sloppy, it’s hard to read… the Guildmaster’s penmanship is a scribbled mess here, how in the world am I supposed to decipher this… oohhh, I’d better say something quick, everyone’s waiting![/i] “...Ahem!… It would seem that some party members still remain. The remaining expedition members are Diglett, Dugtrio, and Croagunk… Ah! Pecan and Jack as well~! Now that is the whole list… wait… WAIT. Guildmaster?! This list includes everyone in the guild!” “Yep!” Wigglytuff smiled with a playful giggle. “But—b-but, but why?! If you were just going to include everyone, this whole purpose of the list is pointless! That’s not even including that we would be leaving the guild unattended for an extended period of time!” Chatot gawked at his leader. Wigglytuff merely giggled again and gave the bird a pat on the head. “I figured it would be more fun if we all go~ Then nobody gets sad or left behind! Plus, we’ll lock up tight so everything will be okie-dokie~” “Guildmaster, I too have a qualm with the given results.” Skuntank began, meeting gazes with Wigglytuff, “Would it not be a risk to bring such a sizable cast along for the expedition? To bring so many, it would be rowdy with such noise and ruckus. Surely, the expedition is not an event for faffing around.” “Hmm… a friend asking such a weird question… Would you not want everyone to go together? The more the merrier, I like to say! Besides! I wanna have lots of fun and make lots of noise with everyone~! It’d be tons of fun, don’t you agree~? Oohh just the thought of it got me so excited I didn’t get any sleep last night! Nope, not a wink~!” “Err… I-I suppose...” Skuntank stepped back, the other male’s overly positive enthusiasm quite repulsive to him. “So that’s that, everyone! We’re all going on the expedition and it’s gonna be lots and lots of fun, fun, biiiiig fun~!” Wigglytuff cheered, throwing his paw up in glee. Chatot groaned and wiped his brow with a quiet sigh. “With that settled… allow me to explain the schedule. When everyone rejoins, there will be a briefing on the expedition. In the meantime, you should all prepare yourselves for the expedition—I would suggest to pack for a lengthy journey but remember to keep open space in your bags in case you find any items you wish to keep while we’re away. As an additional note, this expedition is exclusive to guild members only. Those who are not guildmates are not permitted to join us, that means Chimecho’s services will not be available for use for nor during the expedition. Once you all have finished your preparations, return here for further briefing. You are dismissed~!” Wigglytuff returned to his room while Team Skull left the room, the rest of the guild members huddling up together. “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it! We were all picked, that’s great!” Sunflora squealed with a bright smile on her face. “I almost can’t believe it, our Guildmaster really is something else!” Chimecho added with a giggle. “Hoohh by golly, I’m so glad everyone’s getting to go on the expedition...” Bidoof began, trembling as the emotions overwhelmed him. “Oof, to think I was already overcome with emotions knowing [b]I[/b] was getting to go but knowing [b]everyone[/b] gets to go… I’m so happy… pinch me, I must be dreaming~” “It’s no dream, this is real alright.” Dugtrio spoke up next, “We’ve all been picked which means we all will be put to the test to perform our very best. We had better cooperate and communicate well with each other to prove to the Guildmaster that his decision was not a bad one. Let’s make this expedition one for the history books!” “Yeah! That’s the spirit!” “We’ll all do our best!” “This is gonna be great, let’s get out there!” “Altogether, let’s show our worth!” “[b]ALL RIGHT![/b]” … Since the initial briefing on the expedition, everyone had left the guild into town to prepare for the long awaited moment of truth. All around Treasure Town, there was chitter chatter about the guild and their upcoming event, excitement abound living up the usually calm explorers town. All the while, as Pecan and Jack walked into town, the Emolga couldn’t stop jumping with excitement and giddiness, expressing her sheer joy and happiness in knowing they made the cut. “Oohhhh, Jacky! I can’t wait, I can’t wait! It’s almost like a dream~!” Pecan cheered, nuzzling up all over her partner. Jack chuckled and gave the jittery female a pat on the head. “You’re starting to sound like Bidoof now. But yeah, I’m just as excited. Didn’t think we’d make it after that whole kerfuffle with Team Skull yet here we are~” “We oughta stop by Kecleon’s shop to see if they got any goodies on sale that we can take with us before stopping by Kangaskhan’s.”The Emolga suggested, practically dragging her partner along as she made a beeline for the brothers’ item shop. “Pecan~!” The green Kecleon waved his arms with glee at the sight of his favorite customer. “H-Hi Jack..~” The purple male waved shyly to the Pikachu with a flustered smile and a twitch in his tail. Jack smirked, leaning over the counter, gaze meeting with Purple’s, Jack’s paw resting atop the Kecleon’s own. “Someone’s happy to see me~” He teased with an alluring growl, “I’m sure y’all have heard already but if not, the guild’s going on an expedition soon and we gotta prep up for the long journey ahead. We figured if anyone would be packing the right goods that’ll fill our sacks up and have us nice and full with a little wobble in our step from the extra weight, it’d be you boys~” Purple took a deep breath, the red across his cheeks darkening from the far-from-subtle innuendos made by the frisky Pikachu. “Well, well~! I think we might have just what you need, hm hm! We’ll just have take a goood look in the back, might have to sift around, get in there deep to find just what’s right for you couple~” Green smirked, licking his lips with a sultry growl, paws grasping Pecan by the waist and pulling her over the counter only to pin her down to it on her back. She smirked, legs spread for the frisky Kecleon, her already moistening flower on display for the aroused male, pressing upon the female with his erection grazing and hot dogging her cunt, shared growls of lust and hunger for one another sounding before lips met in a rough and sensual kiss. Tongues rolled and wrestled together, hips grinding on one another, sexes pressed and grazing repeatedly, prepping one another for a quickie surely to be remembered. “Mmhh, you’re a bad, bad bitch ain’tcha, Pecan~?” Green moaned low, his voice husky with arousal, hips drawing back to aim for the needy Emolga’s petals. Her tail twitched with anticipation for the rutting to come, paws trailing down the male’s spine and grasping at his ass. With a deep growl from both parties, Green’s hips slammed forward while Pecan bucked up into him, taking every inch to the hilt. Blissful cries burst from the pair before lips crash together for another heated kiss, their muffled moans mangling with the squelch and smack of aggressive sex. Green’s hips piston quickly, railing the slick pussy he’d grown all too familiar and addicted to, strong throbs digging into her walls with each of his wild thrusts inside the Emolga’s dripping cunt. While Green went to town on his favorite Emolga, Purple was in just a much bliss, back against the wall with spread legs, arms wrapped around Jack’s waist holding him tight while the frisky, bubble butt Pikachu bounced his plump ass upon the horny Kecleon’s fat cock. The Pikachu’s juicy backside wobbled with each impact of cheeks to crotch, heated huffs and deep moans escaping Jack’s muzzle. His eyes shut tight, paws holding tight at the purple Kecleon’s shoulders to keep his balance while he slammed his ass on the other male repeatedly, feeling the twitches and pulses grind and jab at his prostate occasionally. “Mmmhfffuck, you’re hung, dude~” Jack moaned out, his own girth dribbling a thick bead of precum down his underside onto the Kecleon’s belly. He plopped down upon Purple’s lap and rested there, clenching and rolling his hips to stir the other male about within his rump. Purple could only emit cute whimpers and submissive whines while he’d grind back on the chu straddling him. Eyes fixating on Jack’s cock, he’d sneak out his lengthy tongue to wrap around the Pikachu’s erection and clench, pumping his dick while the horny electric-type began to bounce slow and strong on his cock, feeling the plap and jiggle of the Pikachu’s lusciously plump behind against his cock each time ass met crotch. “Oohh fuck, you’re a good boy takin’ care of me like that...mmhffffuck, your tongue’s nice~” Jack grunted, eyes closed while riding his partner, back arched riding out the pleasant sensation of being filled with dick. A deep growl escaped Purple’s lips, his tongue squeezing at the base of the Pikachu’s cock, paws grasping his wide hips and pushing into the horny rodent, pressing him down on his back and towering over the other male in a mating press, now pistoning down into Jack’s hot ass. Loud moans sounded from both males, the purple Kecleon stroking off his temporary lover with his thick, slick tongue while hammering that bubble butt with a newfound hunger. “Mmhf! Never seen my dear brother take such a dominant position~” Green smirked, giving Pecan’s ass a hard smack while slamming her doggystyle. His cock pulsed with each plunge into her fiery heat, listening to her orgasmic cries while her backside jiggled and bounced into his humps, clenching snug every time she could feel him dug balls deep within her body. Nectar gushed around the Kecleon’s cock while he fucked his partner ruthlessly through her orgasm, her body writhing, hinds buckling as she struggles to keep herself standing through the intense pleasure. He gave the Emolga another firm swat to the ass before his paws pressed down firm upon her upper back, shoving the female’s face into the ground and drilling at her with a force that screamed for release. Both Jack and Pecan were in a mess of ecstasy, moaning aloud taking their Kecleon partners without complaint. Pecan’s eyes rolled back, mouth agape and drooling on herself in unspeakable euphoria while Jack was a shaking, trembling mess, precum spilling in spurts onto his chest and Purple’s tongue. Feral growls emitted from the Kecleon brothers, the two electric rodents sending the lizards into a sexual craze unlike any they’ve ever experienced. Their throbs were strong, precum coating the insides of the two submissive rodents as they could do nothing but moan and beg for their loads. Jack gasped and threw his head back against the ground, crying out as his dick pulsed heavily before feeling Purple wrap his tongue around the sensitive head and swirl him rapidly just as a heavy spill of seed rushed from his vein-kissed girth. The Pikachu shook violently, anal walls clamped and hugging sloppily at the dick abusing it, shivering hard feeling Kecleon repeatedly slam at his prostate to keep the chu at the absolute peak of his climactic pleasure. Purple leaned over him with a loud moan before muffling their orgasmic bliss with a deep, rough kiss, his tongue uncoiling from the Pikachu’s cock to assault his own tongue in a sloppy dance for dominance while dumping ropes of seed inside the mouse’s fat ass. Green’s feral growls sounded out into Pecan’s ear as he gave her a bite and nibble while hilting her hard, shooting her cunt full of his own hot and clingy nut, the Kecleon shuddering while his paws knead into the female’s soft chest, feeling up her flat chest while bucking against her plump ass with every shot of cum into her body. Pecan quivered violently, cumming on the male’s dick one last time as she collapsed in his dominant embrace, letting the shopkeeper flood her cunt with his slimy liquid lust. Pulling out from their electric partners, the two Kecleon gave their squishy asses one more firm spank, admiring the fruits of their efforts as their seed drooled from the two rodents. Pecan let out a sultry purr, wiggling her fat butt a little while a paw idly played with her clit while cum drooled from her pussy. Green smirked and nodded at his brother who walked in the back of their shop, returning moments later with a bag in his paws. “Some Oran Berries, Reviver Seeds, and Heal Seeds oughta do you good for your expedition~ And a stack of Wooden Spikes should help you deal with any enemies from a distance. Consider it a little gift from us for being our favorite customers, hm hm~” He chuckled, helping the two up onto their feet. “You boys really are something else.” Pecan giggled, blushing a bit while sharing a quick kiss to the lips with the green brother. “We really appreciate the goodies you boys have for us. Oh, and the items are nice too~” She smirked, teasing the male with a playful grope at his cock. “Were we not needed back at the guild to finish prep, I’d probably hit you boys up for a round two, but we’ve gotta get going, we’ve spent enough time as it is fooling around—time well spent, if I do say so myself~” “Agreed. I dunno how long this expedition is gonna be but we’ll be expecting a very steamy ‘welcome back’ party~” Jack smirked, eyeing up the purple Kecleon who’s quickly gone back to his shy demeanor. “Well, let’s get going back to the guild then. Thanks a ton for the [i]service[/i], you two~” Taking the bag and sharing one last round of kisses and gropes, Jack and Pecan were off out of Treasure Town and back to meet up with Chatot for the briefing. … “Well, well, it appears all are present and accounted for. Then let me begin the explanation of our expedition~” Chatot sung with a wag of his tail, looking around the room one last time to reassure that every guild member is present. “Ahem, our first objective will be to explore Fogbound Lake. This lake is said to be located far to the east. It is a very mysterious location that is shrouded in an endless dense fog! Because of this, no one has ever truly confirmed the existence of the lake… Fogbound Lake, a peculiar location that is merely known as rumor… but there are rumors atop rumors… they say there is a treasure of exquisite beauty hidden there~!” “Treasure!?” “Exquisite beauty?” “We’re going on a treasure hunt~!” “Golly, how exciting!” “Yup, yup, yup! We’re going on a treasure hunt~! It’s gonna be fun! Lots of fun, fun, fun~!” Wigglytuff cheered with a playful giggle. “Now now, if you would all please open your Wonder Maps...” Chatot pinpointed a location on the map shrouded by clouds just beside a bundle of trees with a large covering of fog on its right side far to the east side of the map. “...this is where Fogbound Lake is said to be. Because this is uncharted territory, the location is currently covered by clouds on your maps.” He then pointed back to the guild and Treasure Town. “Now, as you can see, Fogbound Lake is of quite the distance from the guild. It will be considerable travel to the lake itself, expect perhaps a day or two of travel to be required. We will set up camp...” He placed another point in the map on the mountain just above the forested area, “...right here at the foot of the hills. This will be our base of operations during the expedition. Our mobility as one unit would surely be restricted and limited, therefore we will be traveling in groups. Sunflora, Loudred, Diglett, and Croagunk, you four will amass Group A.” “Don’t hold me BACK now, guys! You better keep UP!” Loudred smirked, beating his chest with pride. “Pssh, you’re one to talk, slowpoke!” Sunflora retorted with a huff. “Dugtrio, Chimecho, and Corphish, you will be Group B.” Chatot continued. “It appears we are a group. Let’s travel safely.” Dugtrio commented. “I promise I’ll try my best to be useful!” Chimecho added with a smile. “Hey, hey! You can count on me!” Corphish waved his pincers around. “I’ll snap up anyone in our way!” “The Guildmaster and I will travel together as a pair--” “Whaaaaat?! I have to go with Chatot?! Weehh… that’s so booorrriiiing!” Wigglytuff whined, shaking his head and pouting. “Boring!? I-I am not boring! Guildmaster, please! This is important, you and I must be together!” Wigglytuff only pouted more but couldn’t help blushing just slightly. “...Meanie.” “A-Ahem! As our guests, Team Skull will be an independent group traveling on their own.” “Can do, sir. Chaw-haw-haw~” Skuntank gave a simple, understanding nod. “And lastly, Group C… err… D… E?… [i]Group C[/i] will be Pecan, Jack, and Bidoof.” Pecan’s tail began to wag as she turned her attention to Bidoof. “Doooofyyyyy~” “O-oh golly, we’re in the same group!” Bidoof looked up to Pecan and blushed faintly. “Gosh, I hope I won’t bring you guys down.” “We’re gonna do great, Doofy, you’ll see~” Pecan reassured the beaver with a smile. “Well then, with everything settled, this briefing is now adjourned. Everyone is dismissed, be safe, watch each other’s backs, and remember the meet up points~ We will see you all at Fogbound Lake!” “[b]YES, SIR![/b]”
