Merging of the Balance

Well, here it is, the second chapter to this first attempt at a multi-chaptered work.


Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Merging of the Balance
Chapter 2: Jumpluff For Joy

The next morning...

"Kenneth! Wake up, wake up!"

"Mmmmmm..." Kenneth grunted as he turned around in his bed. It had been a while since Blossom had to barge into his house, otherwise known as Team FireLeaf Headquarters, but he wasn't too worried. There wasn't anything Team FireLeaf hadn't been able to handle, and besides, his brand new encounter the day before had left him rather exhausted.

"Kenneth!" By this time, Blossom sounded pretty exasperated. Extending a vine, she turned the Blaziken over so he could face her.

"Kyaaaaaaaa!"

"Aaaaaargh!" That did it. Kenneth's senses jolted awake as if another of Groudon's earthquakes had hit the town. "Oh, it's you, Blossom. What happened?"

"Loo... Loo... Look!" Blossom stammered as her vine pointed at Kenneth's face. "It's happened to you too!"

"What? What? What's wrong with me?" Instinctively Kenneth put his hand to his nose. Or, rather, where he thought his nose was.

"Here! Light Screen!" Quickly, Blossom summoned a panel of reflective energy, allowing Kenneth to have a visual of sorts. Curiously, the Blaziken stood up and stared at the translucent screen, only to find a different, yet familiar face staring back at him.

A familiar face he hadn't seen for six months.

"...What? How?..."

***

"Attention! Attention, please!" Shiftry shouted over the chattering voices. "Darn, I still can't get used to being in front of crowds..."

The entire of Pokémon Square, it seemed, had erupted into a frenzied uproar -- and for good reason. Overnight, various members of the populace had suddenly sprouted humanshape features, and not just the breeding group sort. Granbull's fangs had shrunken into his face, Kangaskhan's pouch had turned into an apron, and for the first time everyone knew what colour a Gulpin's eyes where.

"Quiet! Please, be quiet!" Eventually, the crowd acceded to the distressed Wicked Pokémon. "Now, I know everybody is confused over what's happened here... me included." Wincing, Shiftry whips off his flowing white headdress, revealing the face of a village shaman (or what would have been the face of a village shaman if the Pokémon had seen one). This elicited a loud united gasp from the huddled group.

"I am just as clueless as you are about the situation, but if we keep calm I'm sure we can make it through this strange crisis," declared Shiftry. "Alakazam, you know most of the mysteries of this world. Any ideas?"

"Hmmm," frowned the Psi Pokémon, who had sprouted hair on his head and a monocle on his left eye. "I do possess knowledge of everything that has happened, but such an event has never taken place before. We'll have to seek out wiser Pokémon for advice on this matter."

"...I agree," Shiftry nodded. "I propose that a temporary rescue team be formed to aid investigations with regards to this bizarre turn of events. Any volunteers?"

"I'll go!" Everyone turned to see Kenneth raising his hand, a determined look on his face, secretly masking the discomfort within. "I look like myself again... this must have something to do with me!"

"I shall go too," said Alakazam. "If this truly is a portent of something disastrous to come, I'll help formulate a contigency plan if necessary."

"That makes three!" conceded Shiftry. "We shall gather at Team FireLeaf headquarters shortly and make for Great Canyon to consult the advice of Xatu. Everyone else, please return to your daily activities, and above all, do not panic! I'm sure we can resolve this issue!"

Leaving mumbles and mutters in their wake, the crowd slowly dissipated. Kenneth felt even worse than before.

"Kenneth?" Peering strangely, Blossom looked at her partner with concern. "Are you feeling alright?"

"...Yeah." Kenneth answered in a voice he hoped was convincing enough. "I'm perfectly fine."

***

"...So, that's what happened?"

"Eh?" Kenneth looked back at Alakazam, startled by the Psychic-type suddenly breaking the silence of the trek.

"Mind-reading is a skill most Psychic Pokémon possess," Alakazam explained gently, causing the Blaziken to blush a deep maroon. "It's nothing to feel ashamed of, Kenneth. Copulation is but a necessary activity Pokémon must perform to survive."

"What? What's that?" Lacking any telepathic capability, Shiftry had become intrigued by Kenneth's private predicament. "Is something wrong, Kenneth?"

Pausing for a moment's rest, Kenneth took the opportunity to come clean about the events that had happened the day before. As they listened, Alakazam thoughtfully fingered with his moustache, while Shiftry's jawline dipped past its normal proportion to his body.

"Hmmm, most interesting," mused Alakazam.

"Kenneth! SCORE!" Shiftry cheered. This was met with an annoyed glare from Alakazam, so the Grass-type quickly shut up.

"You don't think... that I..." Kenneth stuttered.

"Hm. It is indeed undeniable that there is a possibility that your intercourse with Mystique caused this chain of events to happen. You are, after all, a human by birth," Alakazam nodded. "But I cannot say for sure if it did cause this chain of events, or whether benefit or ill will come of it."

"Our questions will be answered when we find Xatu," reasoned Shiftry, to the nods of the other two. Together, they climbed the remaining levels to reach the Hill of the Ancients, where Xatu stood in his familiar spot.

"Ah, Kenneth." The serene Flying-type nodded as the trio entered his territory. "I was wondering when you would come."

"Xatu. What can you tell us about this new turn of events?" Alakazam questioned. "Has the balance been disrupted again?"

"...For millenia, the worlds of humans and Pokémon have existed," breathed Xatu. "Side by side, both complementing and conflicting, slowly shifting in the presence of the other. When Kenneth had carnal intercourse with his Ninetales partner, he caused the two worlds... to meld together."

"What does that mean?" asked Shiftry with worry. "Will our world be threatened once again?"

"The two worlds have cohesively existed since the dawn of time," Xatu continued. "In so doing, our world and your world had already began to gravitate towards each other. Our balance and your balance, merging to become one."

"...I don't get it," Kenneth scratched his head.

"I think I do." Alakazam declared. "Kenneth, what did you first think when you first came to Pokémon Square?"

"...I was amazed," admitted Kenneth. "I didn't think Pokémon had economies and organisations... like humans did..."

"Exactly. In the past, Pokémon never had a conscious need for rescue teams or businesses. But as Pokémon started to live together with humans, both humans and Pokémon inevitably picked up habits from the other," explained the Psychic-type.

"I think I get it. Our worlds both developed into the way they are now because Pokémon and humans continued to coexist closer and closer as time went on," Shiftry piped up. "Pokémon helped humans in their daily lives, and humans went on to contribute to the Pokémon world as well by introducing technical machines, link cables, and even new species of Pokémon."

"Think of our worlds as two objects floating freely in empty space. Without another external force, two objects floating in empty space would eventually come together under the influence of gravity." Alakazam nodded, "Like a collision between two objects, the merging of the balance between our worlds was inevitable."

"Correct," Xatu conceded. "The act of human and Pokémon becoming one was the final act to fully bring our worlds together. The metamorphic process will affect everyone at random rates, but eventually we shall all become fully remade."

"Xatu!" Kenneth suddenly looked worried again. "If our worlds merge into one... what will that mean? Will the balance be...?"

"Calm down, Kenneth." The Mystic Pokémon coaxed the frantic Blaziken. "Remember what I had prophesised when we first met? When you first came seeking my advice?"

"...It was about why I had become a Pokémon," recalled Kenneth. "You said that me becoming a Pokémon and the disasters were linked... but... I didn't disrupt the balance after all."

"I said that those two events were linked, that is correct. But I never said then how they were linked." Kenneth swore then that if Xatu's beak had been replaced by a mouth, he would most certainly see the Psychic bird smiling. "Everyday, I see the future. It reassures, it frightens, it blesses, it curses. But above all... it surprises me."

"..." The three Pokémon watched as Xatu turned back to stare at the Sun across the horizon.

"Who can say what the future truly is?" mused Xatu. "I have foreseen many disasters. Disasters long gone, and disasters to come. Yet if no action was taken, and panic ensued, our world would have not survived them. Likewise, if I had revealed the true intensity of the danger you had to experience in Sky Tower, you might have lost the courage to help save our world. Even then I could not say for sure what your outcome would be, except to hope for the best and that you would make the right choice."

"So... the merging of the balance can be a blessing or a curse," realised Kenneth. "It's what I -- what we do -- that matters..."

"Correct," nodded Xatu. "What becomes of the future completely lies in your own hands... and the guidance of your goodwill, your trust in what you feel is the right thing."

"Alright. Now, I must go," said Alakazam. "Team ACT was supposed to help escort a herd of Tauros to a herd of Miltank and it's not good if they're not together."

***

"Ah, so that's how things are," nodded Whiscash. Kenneth's team had retired from their trip through Grand Canyon, having had their queries answered.

"Indeed. We're planning to officially declare it tomorrow morning," sighed Kenneth.

"Why so glum, Kenneth?" Whiscash asked. "It's not like you to be so dejected, youngster."

"...I just don't feel right," Kenneth shook his head. "In the human world, sex isn't something we do just to keep the species running... to us, it's an act indicated the sacred bond of kinship between people. Doing it with someone on a one night stand... well, it isn't something most of us are comfortable with. Not that Mystique isn't a friend to me, or anything," he added hastily. "But... what if, in that heated moment... I suddenly plunged the world into even greater trouble?"

"It's alright, Kenneth. I've lived a long life, and I've never seen another Pokémon as courageous, resolute or determined as you," assured the elder Pokémon. "I'm sure whatever you do, you'll pull through and make the right decision."

"...Thanks, Whiscash." Kenneth smiled at the Whiskers Pokémon, then looked back at the clear late afternoon sky, when something above caught his attention.

"Kenneth!" Ears straining against the breeze, Kenneth tried to identify the two small floating silhouettes flying towards him, seemingly calling his name.

"Wait..." As he squinted, Kenneth vaguely identified a pair of blue humanoid figures headed in his direction. Their silvery white hair billowed in the wind, their chests seemed to be covered in a layer of fluff, and their wrists bore a similarly puffy bracelet. "...Ami and Yumi?"

"Kenneth!" The two figures squealed as they dove down from above, effectively glomping the Blaziken in mid-landing.

"Ami! Yumi!" Kenneth recognised the two Jumpluff girls he had met six months ago, in a rescue mission that involved Shiftry as well, along with the legendary Thunder bird Zapdos. "What brings you back to Pokémon Square?"

"We Jumpluff travel wherever the wind currents take us," said Yumi. "The wind patterns alternate twice a year, so we've come back for another while."

"It's so good to see you again," enthused Ami. "Oh, and Whiscash, too!"

"The pleasure is mine, young'ins," smiled Whiscash. "Will you be staying long this time?"

"It depends. We'll leave as soon as the wind picks up again, and that could take a while," Yumi pondered. "But for some reason, when we woke up this morning..."

"Ah... I think I can explain that," confessed Kenneth. Thus, the foursome engaged themselves in pleasant conversation, catching up on various issues. Kenneth told the Jumpluff girls stories of his rescues, Whiscash recounted folklore of many decades ago and the two Grass-types spoke of tales from lands across the seas. Until, rather abruptly...

"...Oh! That reminds me!" Ami exclaimed. "Yumi, we never did give Team FireLeaf a reward for rescuing me!"

"You're right!" agreed Yumi.

"Oh, it's nothing, ladies!" Kenneth quickly replied. "That was six months ago anyway..."

"But it wouldn't feel right," whined Ami with a slight pout. "We should have given you something for your troubles..."

"That's the problem with being a constantly airborne species," nodded Yumi. "We're usually floating in the air, so we hardly ever have anything to carry with us..."

"Well, it's really no big deal if you don't have anything. We're all friends, aren't we?" smiled Kenneth. That smile slowly faded from his face as Ami and Yumi's thoughtful glances turned into mischevious grins.

"Excuse us, Whiscash, but we need to talk to Kenneth for a while... privately," said Yumi, with a new tone to her voice.

"We'll see you later, Whiscash!" Ami sang as she and Yumi caught Kenneth by surprise and grabbed him by his arms, pulling him off into the nearby bushes and trees.

"Ami? Yumi?" Kenneth asked uncertainly. "...What are you doing?"

"Why..." Seductively, Ami and Yumi snaked their arms around the Blaziken's, raising goosebumps across his skin. "Giving you your reward, of course..."

Kenneth gasped as the two Jumpluff girls promptly kissed him on the cheeks while their hands began to massage his chest and back, leaving trails of excited synapses as their cotton bracelets tickled his feathers.

"La... Ladies, please!" Kenneth groaned, just as the Jumpluff twins had started to lick across his neck. "You don't have to do this!"

"Oh? I think one part of you knows what you really want," whispered Yumi sultrily.

"EEEEP!" The Blaziken squeaked as a gentle, but sharp tug downwards now caught his attention. Ami had moved her right hand down to his crotch and had started to ease little Kenneth from his hiding place.

"You shouldn't struggle so, Kenneth," Yumi cooed. "We want to thank you... as much as we possibly can... so just lie back and relax..."

"...Eh?" Before Kenneth had realised it, his leg and arm muscles failed completely, causing him to fall back onto the grass. Particles of yellow powder danced around in his wake as the two Jumpluff now laid down beside his lower limbs.

"Let's really thank him this time, Ami!"

"Alright, Yumi!"

Kenneth didn't know whether to laugh, groan or yell in the minutes that followed. Ami and Yumi had placed their sizeable breasts on his groin and started to further stimulate his growing hot rod, encouraging its growth with their natural texture. The soft, furry texture of the Jumpluff's mammaries was irritatingly pleasurable, to say the least. All he could do was pant raspily as the Jumpluff caressed his sausage, licking up the seminal fluids that they pumped out via massage.

"Arghnnn!" Feeling the last shred of his resistance falling, Kenneth jammed his eyes shut as his orgasm, quite literally, erupted from his body, much to the delight of the two Jumpluff. Teasingly they licked up the mess Kenneth had made, cleaning up his volcano's lava spills. "Mmmmm... spicy," Yumi murmured. "I think I know where I want some more from the big, strong Pokémon that rescued me..."

"Aw, Yumi! I wanted to take him!"

"Ami, you weren't the one who got stuck in a dungeon with a huge electric bird hovering over your head. He's mine."

"...Oh, alright."

"UNNGH!" Kenneth grunted as Yumi lowered herself on his burning flagpole, the latter unable to repress an excited squeal in doing so. "Oh!" she gasped. "He's so... so... huge!"

As Yumi started to buck her waist against Kenneth's, the Fire-type had started to spasm from the sensations in his stick. Because of her smaller size, Yumi's snatch was naturally smaller and tighter, and the extra lining of cotton inside wasn't making it easier.

"...Kenneth?" Opening his eyes, Kenneth saw Ami straddling his chest, with her damp opening mere inches in front of his face. "Since Yumi's taken... well, y'know... would you mind doing me one small favour?"

"...You'll have to come closer," replied Kenneth, figuring that he wasn't going to be going anywhere for a while. As Ami pressed her genitals against his nose, Kenneth stuck out his tongue, hesistantly diving it into her folds.

"Eeeee!" squealed Ami, as if Kenneth had inserted a red-hot poker into her lower body. Reflexively, she cupped his cranium with her small hands, pushing her dripping orifice deeper against his muscle.

"Faint jasmine," Kenneth briefly noted, as he continued to make Ami yelp at the top of her voice. Gingerly he explored her carnal region, taking thoughtful licks across the throbbing walls, as if attempting to extract more of her natural flavour. For the next few minutes that ensued, Kenneth could think of nothing else but the uncontrollable bucking movements he was ramming into Yumi, the free flow of eau de Jumpluff flowing down his face and throat, and the moaning concert Ami and Yumi were putting up for him.

Eventually, Kenneth realised his pleasure was hitting a fever pitch, yet for some reason he wasn't achieving release. The sensation of liquid fire had gathered down his lower torso, and its retainment was causing his legs to spasm even more wildly.

"Uhn... Ahn..." Despite her groaning, Yumi could also sense something was amiss. "Do you think... I used too much... Stun Spore, Ami?"

"I don't know!" gasped Ami. "But you'd better get him off quickly, Yumi! I can't... hold back... much longer!... Ahhh!"

"Okay... then how's about this! Sunny Day!" yelled Yumi, and for a brief moment, the surrounding sunlight grew even stronger than ever. Kenneth paused for thought, then his eyes widened in alarm as he realised what was to happen...

"WHEEEEEEEEE!" Her Chlorophyll powers kicking in, Yumi started to go up and down on Kenneth twice as fast, her heaving bosom and behind mere blurs as she tried to bring Kenneth off. "Oh, YES!" she screamed, having had her libido photosynthetically increased.

"MMMMF!!" Kenneth wanted to scream from the reverberating stimulation, but having his mouth full of Ami, he only succeeded in a muffled vibration that tingled the Jumpluff in her right spots. With a loud shriek, Ami buried his face in her pussy as she finally erupted her Jumpluff juices all over her saviour's face.

"Oh, this feels wonderful!" Yumi groaned as she massaged her fluffy chest. "I'm gonna, I'm gonna... EEEEEEYAH!" The proper words never came out as the second Jumpluff shrilly announced her orgasm, nearly crushing Kenneth's flagpole in the process. With his final hurdle of resistance crushed, Kenneth fired several thick volleys of his seed deep into Yumi's womb, making up for the delayed release.

"Oh... yeah..." murmured Yumi as she detached herself from Kenneth and crawled onto his chest, leaving a pool of mixed juices on his stomach. Joining Ami, the two Jumpluff closed the deal with a passionate three-way French kiss, mixing the last of their fluids.

"Now... it feels so much better to receive your reward, doesn't it?" purred Yumi as the two girls curled up beside Kenneth. The Blaziken was too tired to give a coherent reply other than an exhausted "Yeah", as afterglow and exhaustion started to take over.

"Oh, boy," he thought, just as consciousness started to slip away. "I hope no one else decides to provide rewards for missions like this one..."

***

Panting heavily, Whiscash grunted as his fins wrapped around his new organ, releasing another glob of his essence and further clouding the pondwater. "Youngsters these days... always full of surprises," he murmured to no one in particular. "I haven't felt this way since I moved in from the sea..."

Pausing for breath, the elder wondered if Kenneth would agree to lending him the team's Waterfall machine for a bit.


And that pretty much concludes what 'plot' this story has, though I might refer back to it once in a while. Everything else is still barely at the drawing board, so suggestions for pairings amongst other feedback would be much appreciated.

Once again, thank you for your kind attention to this newbie.
