Chapter 08: Making Babies
— Nezu —
Kaito was undeniably a massive boon to both U.A and humanity itself. Between his monsters and his ability to upgrade Quirks, he could be exactly what the world desperately needed.
To be blunt, humanity would go extinct if things didn't change, between the increasingly common Kaiju attacks and the dungeon breaks, it was only a matter of time until they were wiped out, the population having already taken a heavy decline.
The simple fact was that before Teostra's death, they'd never 'won' a Kaiju attack, what they called victories were defeats that they made sound better for political reasons.
Any time they stopped the Kaiju from accomplishing its 'goal', which they were usually guessing at, they called it a victory no matter how many people died.
They could lose thousands of civilians, dozens of heroes, and they'd still call it a victory.
But the truth was they had only ever managed to kill a single attacking Kaiju, and it was simple logic. More and more dungeons were appearing, which meant more Kaiju were appearing, and they weren't actually slaying the current Kaiju.
More active Kaiju meant more frequent attacks, because they'd only ever managed to slay a single Kaiju out of the hundreds of attacks before Teostra.
And that battle, as much as the government tried to make it seem like a great step in the right direction, was an undeniable defeat.
The heroes had cornered the Kaiju, stopping it from retreating after it finished its destruction of Shiketsu High, and upon being unable to retreat and being badly injured, the Kaiju simply decided to leave on its own terms, self-destructing.
The blast wiped out almost all the heroes involved in the attack, and decimated the city. And they called it a 'victory'.
Teostra was the first true victory over the Kaiju, a near-deathless attack, even if Teostra was on the weaker side of Kaijus, and it was thanks to a single teenager.
It was Kaito who analysed Teostra and discovered its ability to heal and grow stronger from the flames, and it was his monsters who managed to seriously injure and then kill Teostra.
Naturally that made him in extremely high demand, and already the requests and demands for Kaito had started to stream in from across the globe.
Both Kaiju that had been killed had been slain in Japan, something that the Japanese government was very happy about, but the other countries were using it to suggest that Japan didn't need Kaito, they were doing fine without him.
They very much weren't, but many of the other countries were frankly desperate, and they wanted Kaito for themselves.
Some were being 'reasonable', wanting Kaito to leave U.A and join a team built specifically for dungeon clearing and Kaiju fighting; though many of them wanted that team to be based in their country, some European countries argued that their country was more central and Kaito would be able to reach more attacks from their country, America argued that they had more Kaiju attacks than anywhere else and that Kaito should be in their country.
Some were being much less reasonable, the less said about China's demands the better, but then China and Japan had some very old bad blood.
Japan was fighting their demands, and Kaito's decision that he wanted to stay in U.A helped a lot as nobody wanted to force Kaito to leave Japan, or at least they'd never admit to wanting that given Kaito's new fame, and Japan did have some support.
Korea for one supported keeping Kaito in U.A, simply because Japan and Korea were close enough geographically that they could count on him helping with their attacks, though if Kaito didn't show up at the next attack in Korea that support would dry up incredibly quickly.
The countries in South-East Asia joined the bandwagon, realising that keeping Kaito in their general region was better than trying to get him to move to their country when they were competing with the rest of the world.
But whether the country hoped to steal Kaito away from Japan, or they were supporting Japan's efforts to keep a hold of him for their own interests, every country had one thing in common.
They all wanted to know exactly what Kaito was doing at all times, they wanted to know how Kaito was spending his time, what monsters he'd tamed, how many dungeons he'd been through recently.
While inviting Kaito to the dungeons in their lands of course, hoping to get Kaito in their country for long enough for them to try and tempt him over to them.
So then, how exactly did one explain this?
Nezu paused, looking at the camera in the classroom Kaito was currently fucking Mei Hatsume in.
How did she even get into the school? She'd been accepted into the support division, apparently she was quite the genius, but she shouldn't be here yet and he couldn't find the spot where she'd gotten into the school, apparently the cameras had a blindspot she'd exploited.
Still, humans were very confusing. Sometimes their mating rituals required a dozen dates, but sometimes the girl simply walked up to the man and asked to be impregnated, as Mei had done.
How bizarre.
— Mei Hatsume —
As she felt the tip of Kaito's cock press against her now exposed slit, she gasped and went to speak, to correct his misunderstandings.
However, Kaito wasn't wasting time either, and before a single word could leave her mouth she whimpered as he grabbed her hips and pulled her back, slamming forwards as her virginity was snatched away by the fat cock that was now filling her inner passage.
She let out a confused moan as she experienced her first cock, Kaito already thrusting into her as her thighs hit against the desk she was bent over, her breasts squashed against the hard wood as Kaito railed her, pounding into her as the sound of flesh clapping together filled the room.
This wasn't the kind of baby she wanted to make with him, her legs spreading to try and make the rough fucking more comfortable even as her body rapidly reacted to the dominant treatment, her mind racing.
If she didn't stop this, she'd be attending U.A as a teen mom, knocked up by the world's new symbol of victory.
That would take up so much of her inventing time!
Still, she'd gotten herself into this mess, it wasn't Kaito's fault she'd worded things in such a confusing way.
Despite not wanting this, she didn't see it as rape, she'd literally asked him to do this even if she'd made an error, he was literally giving her what she asked for as he slapped her ass.
Gripping the table, she knew she had to correct his misunderstandings before he finished and pumped his seed into her fertile teen womb, but blue-balling the symbol of victory would be rather mean, she was far from an expert (she hadn't even had her first kiss yet) but she could probably finish him off with her boobs and mouth, maybe it'd even get him into a proper mindset to listen to her request?
But that was easier said than done, her hands gripping the wooden desk as she moaned lewdly, her eyes rolling back in her head as Kaito thrust into her now-wet pussy again and again.
If she didn't stop this soon, she was going to get knocked up, and how inconvenient would it be to have to spend her time looking after a baby when she could be making babies instead?
She needed to convince Kaito to pull that fat cock out of her before he blew his load inside her tight pussy, before he painted her womb white with his seed.
Opening her mouth, she went to convince Kaito of the misunderstanding as she desperately held onto the desk for dear life, but all that came out between her moans was-
"O-oh fuck, oh fuck, fuck fuck!"
She never had time to touch herself, her needs had been going completely unsatisfied, as pleasure was one of the things she put aside in her pursuit of crafting better and better babies, much like sleep and occasionally eating, so she was thoroughly unprepared for her first experience with sexual intimacy, her eyes rolling back as she came for the first time, waves of pleasure running over her body.
Kaito briefly pulled out of her, but before she could get her thoughts together, he simply flipped her onto her back, sliding right back into her soaked slit, his balls slapping against her buttocks as he gripped her grey tank-top and yanked it up, causing her breasts to bounce wildly with every thrust.
Looking up at Kaito's face, she once more tried to convince herself to speak up and put a stop to this, silenced by his mouth capturing hers as he fucked her atop the table, hard enough to make the table shake with each thrust.
His tongue pushed against her lips, demanding access which she willingly gave, unable to try and explain the mistake as her legs locked around his waist, locking together as she tried to get ahold of herself.
But then a moment of true genius struck her, Kaito was the Symbol of Victory, but he was only one person. Everyone knew children could inherit their parents' quirks, or something similar, so it was obvious that the governments would be very interested in Kaito's child.
If she was the one to give birth to his first child, couldn't she get a load of help looking after the potential wonder child?! And wouldn't Kaito, a hero in training, take responsibility and make sure his baby momma was looked after, he'd definitely help her with her inventing if she was carrying his baby.
Sure, being a teen mom wasn't quite how she saw this going and it'd probably be a bit awkward to explain to her parents but they'd understand, she was doing this for the good of all mankind.
Between their wonderbaby and the other babies they'd make together, they'd drive back the Kaijus and save the world and she'd never need to worry about funding again, they'd be throwing money and materials at her.
It would be irresponsible of her not to get pregnant, that was how important it was that Kaito needed to keep fucking her.
The fate of the world could rely on him not pulling out. It wasn't that she didn't want him to stop, or that she was too busy enjoying her first kiss to get Kaito to not knock her up, this was the most heroic thing she could do, this was Plus Ultra.
Probably.
It had nothing to do with the fact that sex felt really good, as she climaxed around his invading cock again she was doing this because it was the right thing to do.
Right?!
— Kaito —
Gotta love a chick who knows what she wants, even if I haven't got a single clue who this pink-haired girl is.
So far I know her name is Mei and that she wants knocking up, and that's everything.
Her eyes are cool, the weird cross in her iris really stands out, and she's also got fantastic tits which are only going to get better when I knock her up.
I'm not one to shy away from spreading my seed, I've left my tribe and the best way to build a new one is to knock up as many girls as possible. After all, it worked for dad.
Or maybe his pullout game is just weak given how many siblings and half-siblings I have, could be either one.
I'm apparently going to be loaded anyway, so I can afford to look after my women and kids. I just hope this chick knows that she's signed herself up for the long haul.
If she just wanted a quick fuck, I wouldn't mind her leaving afterwards, casual sex is always fun, but once my kid is growing inside her she's mine, forever.
I really should have learnt her full name before we got started, but honestly that's a problem for future Kaito because that would require me to stop fucking her brains out and I'm not about that life, she's tight as fuck and almost certainly a virgin (which makes her approaching me like this a little weird but hey, this world is weird).
'Mei' doesn't seem interested in stopping either given the way her legs are locked around my waist, pulling me back in every time I pull out, her pussy tightening down on my cock as she cums again.
Speeding up, I mentally apologise to Nezu as the school desk creaks beneath her, struggling to hold her weight as I pound her atop it. Well, at least it wasn't his office.
How did she even find me, I ended up here because I'm fucking lost, this school is way too big and I couldn't find my way back to the monster research building.
The more that I think about it, the more I think I probably should have asked some questions like 'who are you', 'how did you get here' and 'why do you want my babies' before I just bent her over but that kind of thinking is for other people.
A hot girl wants fucking and I'm supposed to stop and ask dumb questions instead of giving her what she's asking for? That's some weak soy boy shit right there.
Grunting as I feel her inner muscles trying to milk my cock, I smile as I see her eyes rolled back in her head, her tongue hanging out. Yeah she was definitely a virgin, I've been playing around with so many women I forgot how easy it is to blow some girl's mind.
Even Nemuri has to tap out with me, this chick didn't stand a chance.
But still, didn't she break a little too fast? Sure it's been a while since my last virgin but still, eh who knows.
If she was a normal girl she wouldn't be walking up to a stranger and asking to be knocked up, so I'm probably thinking too hard about this.
I can feel my own climax approaching, the first one anyway, and given her request I certainly don't see a reason to hold back as I slam my hips forwards, bottoming out inside her formerly virgin quim as I cum.
Sighing, I pull back slowly as I watch the first strands of my seed leak from her parted slit, pausing as I look her over.
Laid atop the desk with her legs spread wide, my mystery girl is completely out of it, eyes filled and rolled back into her skull. Really?
Well, now what?
I can't just leave her, undressed and pumped full of cum in some random classroom, and I'm still lost myself.
Closing my eyes, I call on my bird. It's definitely my weakest monster but it's still very useful as it gives me an aerial view of the grounds. Probably should have done that from the start, but ah well.
Grabbing the girl, I pause to fix her clothes a little before I toss her over my shoulder and start walking. Guess she's coming with me.
She wanted to knock up and I can't guarantee that the first load did the job, and I'm raring to go for another round.
It's not like she'd mind, she did ask after all.
— Mei Hatsume —
Waking up, she shuddered as the echoes of pleasure ran through her tired and sore body. She'd never been in the best shape, inventing wasn't that physically intensive compared to actual hero work, but she still couldn't believe she'd passed out.
It felt so damn good, feeling him pump his hot sticky load into her waiting fertile womb it felt almost as good as perfecting one of her other babies.
Sitting up, she looked around the room in confusion, this wasn't the classroom they fucked in, it was probably his bedroom but Kaito was nowhere to be seen.
She was also completely naked, and used, as she looked down at her body with trepidation. She felt full, and a worrying amount of cum was staining her thighs from where it had leaked out of her.
Apparently her passing out wasn't enough to deter him from his mission to knock her up, she wasn't sure how many times he'd creampied her but it was definitely more than just the once.
With her mind clearing, she gulped at the knowledge that she was probably pregnant before she calmed down and thought about things logically.
She should still be able to do her inventing while pregnant, it wasn't that physically intensive and she could make a new bab- gadget to help her when she was heavily pregnant.
It wasn't the end of the world, assuming two things.
That Kaito took responsibility for breeding her, and that she got some help raising the baby, maybe a nanny or something. Kaito should definitely be wealthy enough to afford that, right?
She just needed to get him to actually agree, if he thought he could take her virginity and leave her a single mom, he was very much mistake-
"Oh hey, you woke up," Kaito said, making her jump as he came out of the en suite, utterly naked as well, seemingly just having gotten out of the shower, his fat cock swinging between his legs as he walked towards her. "So, who the fuck are you?"
Oh right, she never actually introduced herself beyond her first name. She got a little distracted with the sex right afterwards.
"I'm Mei, Mei Hatsume, genius inventor and soon to be U.A student," Mei started, thinking her words through a little carefully.
"Oh, you're going to U.A too? That's good, I'm gonna get a monster to look after you and our baby soon, it'll be easier if you're here," Kaito said easily, making her blink. "I'll get Nezu to set you up with a room near mine, pretty sure I can get the little dude to help."
Just like that?
"R-right, Erm- I'm actually a member of the support department, I wanted to talk to you about using monster materials to make new gadgets but we got… distracted," Mei continued, making him blink.
"U.A has a support department? Cool. I can set you up, Melissa has been asking about getting monster materials to study anyway so I'll introduce you two. She's a monster researcher, you'll like her," Kaito promised.
"Just like that?" Mei finally said, looking up at Kaito who tilted his head cutely in confusion.
"Well, yeah? You're one of my girls now, I'll make sure you're taken care of," Kaito promised casually, sending a shiver of pleasure through her body at his possessiveness.
Before she could reply, he gave her a sly grin and moved onto the bed with her, hovering over her as he grinned.
"You know, I'm not sure I managed to knock you up yet, better safe than sorry, right?" Kaito whispered into her ear as he flipped her onto her front, grabbing her hips.
Despite her much clearer mind, she didn't feel a need to correct him on his earlier misunderstanding, wiggling her backside at him as she bit down on the pillow her face was pushed into, moaning into it as Kaito thrust into her once more.
Being his girl didn't sound that bad at all.
— Nezu —
You know, a month ago he was a respected principal of the top hero school in the world.
Now he was arranging an apartment building for Kaito to keep his harem and potential children on the school grounds, facilitating a great amount of teenage sex and pregnancy.
Not that he cared, in fact he could kiss Mei Hatsume if it wasn't for the fact that Kaito would probably fold him into a pretzel.
Kaito was already showing some protectiveness over his 'girls' and potential child, which would help keep him on the side of good, fighting against the Kaijus and Dungeons that threatened them.
Honeypots were used worldwide for a reason, and Mei had unknowingly performed a very successful one for U.A, because as long as the inventor was at U.A, Kaito would be much more likely to stay himself.
As for Mei herself, looking up her record made it clear that keeping her here would be easy enough, she was a mad scientist type who just needed funding for her babies-
Ah, she didn't ask to be knocked up, she asked for Kaito to help her make her gadgets, which she apparently called babies.
Kaito, misunderstanding, immediately assumed she wanted to be impregnated and went about the task with the same bluntness he used to approach every situation.
Was that technically rape? Pausing, he brought up the video recording again and watched as Mei wrapped her legs around his waist, her hands scratching his back as she very much didn't try to stop him.
…or did she want impregnating? He genuinely didn't know, or care at this point. The mating rituals of humans couldn't be less interesting to him.
She seemed into it, which meant it wasn't a crime and therefore also wasn't his problem.
He had an important task to focus on anyway, as he shook his head and went back to typing away.
What he was doing was simple, he was making a report on all the dungeons Kaito currently had access to, with the strength and type of monsters in each one, and then he was making a second report on all the heroes who had volunteered to escort Kaito on a dungeon expedition.
He was well aware that most of them either wanted a monster or had heard the rumours of Kaito being able to modify quirks, which were already spreading far and wide (Mt Lady got into a fight with a villain and was seen changing to a much more reasonable size than her old form).
After some consideration, Nezu and the other U.A staff had decided to just admit that Kaito was indeed responsible for this change, which drew more attention to Kaito of course but frankly he was already getting so much attention it barely mattered.
His mere existence had the potential to change people who had 'weak' quirks into effective heroes, as Kaito believed he could just keep modifying the quirk over time, and while monsters were a good start, humanity needed every tool it could get to survive the increasingly aggressive Kaiju attacks and Dungeon spawns.
There were plenty of people who wanted to become heroes but had 'weak' quirks, and while some of them pushed past that such as Kazuho Haneyama, a student starting in Kaito's year, many of them never even tried.
All Kazuho could do was jump high, hardly the most impressive quirk, and yet she performed well in the exams by finding imaginative ways to use her quirk. In her written exam, her reason for signing up was because she 'needed to do something despite her weak quirk', which was a common belief.
The arrival of a threat to all humanity had changed things, villains had become heroes to fight against the oncoming threat, enabled by the laws being changed.
Gentle and La Brava came to mind.
But many believed that they simply couldn't help, no matter how much they'd like to, that they just didn't have a strong enough quirk.
Kaito had the power to take any quirk and make it powerful, and that was why they leaked that particular power of his.
It was possible that with Kaito's assistance, they'd be starting a new department this year, aimed at giving people who had either failed the exams or simply decided not to go to a hero school due to their weaker quirks a second chance at becoming heroes.
Because the world needed as many defenders as possible, their survival depended upon it.
But that was for later, for now he was simply laying the groundwork, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Kaito's shoulders even if the younger boy seemed utterly unaffected by the attention he was already receiving.
— Kaito — Next Day —
"I just want to go on record and say this is a bad idea," I say bluntly, making Melissa smile as she walks beside me.
"I know, but I want to field test my creation," Melissa admits, clearly somewhat nervous as we walk into the dungeon. "Besides, I'm sure I'll be safe with this cutie protecting me."
As she says that, she pats Primeape's head, making it grumble angrily, not trying to stop her as it glares at a bush that moved suspiciously (it was the wind).
Mt Lady is beside us, my first 'escort', and naturally my monsters are here as well.
Blue is our vanguard, my Skylark is flying above us to scout, Caterpie is on my shoulder and Primeape has been told to protect Melissa.
Shaymin is staying at home, as I can summon her if I need to but I want her to focus on restoring her energy, not be tempted to waste it to heal minor wounds.
This dungeon is apparently not that dangerous, located just outside Tokyo it's regularly cleared but it's also massive.
Dungeons shift and grow, so you can't really map them out, so just because some heroes did an expedition here doesn't mean this place has been fully explored, or that all the stronger monsters have been slain.
If this wasn't cleared recently, I definitely wouldn't have allowed a civilian to come with us, no matter how much she begged, but that doesn't mean I'm letting my guard down either.
"What does that thing even do?" I ask, watching her fiddle with the device in her hands.
"It's a monster encyclopaedia, basically. Or it will eventually, for now its main purpose is to scan and identify monsters," Melissa explains. "The fight against Teostra showed me that the biggest threat the monsters possess is that we simply don't know what they can do. My hope is to use the data you get from your quirk to create a monster database, and then mass produce my scanner so heroes can just scan monsters they encounter and learn their strengths and weaknesses. I've already put in the data from the monsters you've encountered, but I want to see how well it works for scanning and identifying monsters in the wild."
"Why didn't you just give the device to one of us?" Yu asks, making Melissa smile sheepishly.
"Because while you could test it, I'll be able to work out the kinks as I go, I want to get this working as soon as possible," Melissa admits.
I can definitely see the use of her little device, but isn't she a little too reckless?
...not that I can talk.
My response is interrupted as one of the bushes moves, a large purple rat leaping out of it towards Melissa, almost the size of a small dog.
I almost feel sorry for the Rattata, the Mouse pokemon, a Rank-E monster as it comes face to face with an angry and protective Primeape.
Grabbing it by the tail, Primeape simply starts swinging it up and down as he smashes the monster against the ground; before tossing it my way.
Reaching out, my hand glows briefly as I tame the easily beaten monster. That's why we're here after all, and if I'm going to be giving out monsters I want to have a larger selection.
[Rattata, The Mouse Pokemon (Rank E) - Tamed]
Before I can celebrate, the sound of movement draws my attention, another Rattata approaches us as it lunges for me, vines springing up to bind it as I call on my gift from Shaymin, and then another and another.
Huh, they hunt in packs. Well, I did want more monsters.
— Later —
[Monster Taming - Rank B]
Allows you to tame monsters by forming a bond with them, allowing you to summon them to your side and preventing them from being permanently slain as long as you live.
[Piercing Resistance - Rank E]
You have a minor resistance to piercing attacks.
Huh, neat.
A dozen or so Rattatas and a larger Raticate that seems to have been the leader of their pack later, I've sent them all back to the pocket biosphere made for them, mostly because they need to heal from… what Primeape did to them.
He takes his protection detail very seriously, or maybe he just enjoys committing gratuitous violence on small animals.
It could be either.
Yu shrinks back to her normal size as I look over at Melissa, searching for any injuries. Her trousers are slightly torn on one leg but she seems unharmed, Primeape did his job well.
Taming monsters has multiple benefits, because if I take them with me then they won't respawn in this dungeon, it means the researchers will have more creatures to study and I'll have more monsters to hand out if I find people worthy of them.
I doubt I can actually depopulate the entire dungeon, but I can definitely lower the monster levels.
The Raticate, a Rank C, actually seemed pretty strong considering just how powerful its bite was, my arm still healing up from where its massive fangs bit into my flesh, right to the bone.
I got lucky when I got Blue as my first monster, because his regen is a lifesaver.
"Is everyone okay?" Yu asks, seeing my wound.
"I'm good, won't take me long to heal from this," I say, looking at my monsters and smiling, Primeape has a few scratches but beyond that he's fine.
Caterpie was on my shoulder the entire time, seeming smug at how effectively he bound several of the monsters making them easy targets for the rest of us.
Blue is… blue. He jiggles slightly, seeming disappointed I made him spit the Raticate back out for me to tame.
We set off again, and I can tell that this place was cleared fairly recently because we don't really encounter that much near the entrance but the further we travel through the fields and woodland, the more activity we find.
It looks like whoever cleared this place last just stuck around the entrance, never delving too deep.
The next monster we find is… an odd one.
"So, that's just a sloth right?" Yu ask, watching the monster crawl closer towards me at a glacial pace.
It has an incredibly dumb looking face, pulling itself towards me with malicious intent.
[Slakoth, the Slacker Pokémon (Rank D)]
"It is, but apparently it's actually pretty powerful. It's just… slow," I say, watching it get close as I take a single step back, dodging the surprisingly fast swipe of its claws.
Seeing that its attack failed, it pauses, yawning before it simply goes to sleep, its energy expended.
"…did that fucker just go to sleep midfight?" Yu asks, crouching down to look at the incredibly lazy monster.
This proved to be a mistake, its eyes rapidly opening as it lunges forwards, swinging both its long arms towards her as she yelps in surprise.
The little bastard was baiting us, to great success as both claws slice open Yu's costume and the flesh beneath it, making her gasp in shock as her stomach is cut open by the surprising deadly claws, Melissa gasping in horror at the sudden blood and literal guts as Yu falls back, looking down at her bisected stomach in shock and horror.
Without hesitating, I move forwards and kick the Slakoth away, making it roll along the ground, giving me a surprisingly smug look as it comes to a stop, summoning Shaymin immediately.
Shaymin looks around in confusion, spotting Yu's wound and immediately jumping into action as she leaps forwards and lands next to Yu, licking her side as Shaymin's body glows a brilliant gold.
Saving energy or not, I wasn't going to just let her die and if I used Healing Wish I'd have exhausted myself.
Yu gasps again, touching her now pristine stomach, the tears and bloodstains on her outfit the only sign of how close she came to death.
Meanwhile, the Slakoth attempts to make its escape, very slowly as it climbs a nearby tree.
Caterpie sprays it with its string, sticking it to the trunk of the tree.
"Primeape, get-"
That's as far as I get before Primeape leaps forwards and punches Slakoth through the tree.
Moving forwards myself, I order Primeape to stop his beating as I look down at the sloth-like monster, seeing its derpy face stare up at me smugly before it notices Yu rising, unharmed.
The shock on its dumb face amuses me, because it seems genuinely offended that she survived its ambush, and as I try and tame it, it puts up a brief fight before Primeape lets out a bellow of anger and it immediately gives in.
[Slakoth, the Slacker Pokémon (Rank D) - Tamed]
"Fuck, that was too close," Yu says, touching her stomach.
I'm reminded that her fight against Gameciel was her first fight, she's actually more inexperienced than me.
"You let your guard down," I say, giving her a disapproving look which makes her look away, ashamed.
"I fucked up, I know," Yu admits, picking up a Shaymin and patting her head. "That fucker is smarter than it looks," she says, giving Slakoth a glare which it returns.
"Monsters have been known to set primitive traps, one dungeon was filled with things like covered pitfalls and tripwires that would cause logs or boulders to drop on the unaware hero," Melissa says, making me nod.
I know monsters can be smart, so I'm not surprised.
…even if Slakoth's face looks really dumb.
After taking a moment to recover, mostly to let Yu calm down because she was clearly freaking out about how close she came to dying to a Rank D monster, low rank doesn't necessarily mean low danger, we set off again.
We aren't supposed to be spending too long in here, it's basically a test run in a fairly low risk dungeon, we could leave now and it would be a successful run.
Still, I want to see what else this place has to offer and Yu seems to have a score to settle at this point as we spot the next set of monsters.
In a large open field, nearly two dozen three tailed bull-like monsters called Tauros are grazing, but I'm not sure about this fight myself.
They're all Rank B, if Melissa wasn't here then maybe but every one of them is the same rank as Primeape and there's over twenty of them.
"If I go to my full size, I can take them," Yu says, making me shake my head.
"Or they'd charge your legs and bring you down," I point out, but the choice gets made for us.
While we were focused on the bulls, something much smaller noticed us.
The small-dog like monster stares up at us as I pause, seeing the consideration in its cute brown eyes.
Covered in soft brown fur, the monster has a large fluffy tail and two long pointed ears which wiggle as it tilts its head. It's adorable, but that's not what I'm focusing on as I realise what it's planning.
Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon, looks towards the Tauros herd and then back to us slowly.
"Don't you fucking dare." I say, but my warning just encourages the smug looking little fucker, which opens its mouth and lets out a surprisingly loud howl.
I lunge for it, unsurprised when it jumps out of the way, but I have much bigger concerns as I turn back around and see two dozen angry bulls staring back at me.
"Primeape, grab Melissa and climb a tree!" I shout, watching Eevee run back into the bushes, its work here done.
Primeape doesn't hesitate as he grabs Melissa and leaps into the air, making her yelp in surprise as it holds her under one of its arms and uses the other to climb higher and higher.
It's not perfect but it takes her out of the equation as the Tauros start to charge us, the ground trembling as nearly a hundred heavy hooves beat against it.
Calling on Shaymin's gift, I cause the grass between us to rapidly grow into vines as I try to bind the legs of the bulls, causing several to trip as Shaymin does the same, to greater effect.
Even Caterpie gets in on the fun, spraying its String Shot down on the ground in front of them, the stuff is incredibly sticky and some of their hooves get stuck as they charge, making them flip over comically. I swear Caterpie laughs at the sight, chittering to itself.
Between the three of us, we delay just under half of them, but that still leaves a dozen monster bulls charging us as Yu grows to her full size, stomping down on the first one to reach us.
Grabbing Caterpie, I toss him towards the trees as he shoots his string towards a branch and swings to safety, spinning around the branch before he lets go and flings himself into the air, flipping until he lands perfectly on one of the branches in a display of amazing acrobatics (which he thinks I don't notice since I'm looking away, forgetting that I can see through his eyes).
Why does he only do that when I'm not looking?
Shaking my head, I watch as Blue grows up to his full size as well, engulfing three of the bulls as they charge him.
Shifting into a slime form myself, I'm far smaller than Blue, merely a Rank C Slime Lord instead of Rank A Emperor Slime, but it's an improvement all the same, I spray acidic slime at the ones charging me, making them bellow in anger.
It's not enough to stop them, but as a slime I thankfully don't feel any pain as they charge me, the first Tauros' horns stabbing into my gelatin body.
That doesn't mean it doesn't do damage when it flings me into the air, sending me further into the herd as their hooves slam down on me, it just means I don't feel what would have definitely been incredibly painful.
Slimes see things weirdly, they actually have 360 degree vision for one, due to their lack of eyes, so I get treated to a perfect view of many hooves slamming down on my body as bits of slime fly away, my mass reducing.
Fortunately my saviour arrives in the form of a very angry monkey, leaping from the top of the tree he placed Melissa in, Primeape joins the fray as he lands on top of one of the Tauros, grabbing its horns and yanking them back.
Blue joins the fun, apparently having learnt a new move as it turns one of the Tauros trapped inside its body into a projectile, shooting the large bull out of its body with surprising force making it collide with another of the ones that was stamping on me and sending them both tumbling away.
Pulling the dislodged slime back into myself, I use the opportunity to slither away and change back to my true form with a groan, watching as Yu kicks another of the Tauros, sending it flying as a truck sized foot strikes it.
I couldn't feel it as a slime but I can feel the aftereffects as a human, thank fuck for Blunt Resistance because I doubt I'd have survived otherwise.
Caterpie shoots his stringshot down at them from above, but they can break free from it fairly easily, it just delays them which is admittedly useful.
He stops at one point, but I'm too busy trying to dodge the angry bulls to see what he's up to, taming those that fall.
You know, danger aside, it's gonna be funny when the next fight happens and I just summon an entire herd of angry bulls to charge at the Kaiju.
[Tauros - Bullheaded]
You gain an increase to power and damage reduction while charging, the faster you are moving the more effective this skill is.
Getting an idea, I see one of the Tauros charging towards me and decide to play chicken.
Using partial transformation, I grow a pair of horns and hooves myself as I charge to meet it.
Is this smart? Very much not but fuck it, gaining speed I charge headfirst towards the bull, and at the last second make more vines to bind its front legs, they aren't enough to stop it but it definitely slows my target down and gives me the advantage as we collide.
With my new tamers might perk, and my blunt and piercing resistance, I actually come out on top… kinda?
Okay, we both get fucked up as we run into each others horns but I can regenerate so I practically win, right?
Shaking myself off, I jump forwards and copy Primeape's idea as I climb onto the stunned Tauros, gripping its fur as I pull out my knife and stab it in its body, my dagger having issues getting through its thick muscles.
Blue takes pity on his idiot master and just sprays more acid at my mount, weakening it enough for me to tame it and send it away.
Standing up, I pause as a Tauros runs past me, Primeape riding it as he whoops in victory, yanking on its horns to direct it into another Tauros.
Blue has five of them inside his body, jiggling in amusement as they flail around inside him, trying to escape.
As for the rest?
Looking towards the sounds of angry bellowing, I pause as I see Shaymin happily sitting in front of nearly a dozen Tauros bound in thick vines, unable to break free, sniffing one of them as it struggles futilely.
Well, she is a legendary rank monster.
"You know, Shaymin scares me," Yu admits as she shrinks, seeing the vines spreading and capturing the others, aside from the one that Primeape is still riding around wildly.
"She should, we're lucky she's such a cinnamon roll because she could definitely kill us both," I say, glowing gold as Shaymin heals the wounds left over from my genius plan.
Shaymin squeaks happily as I pat her head, picking her up and putting her on my shoulder as I start taking the herd, who seem defeated at how easily Shaymin tied them all up.
It's a sign of how nice Shaymin is that most of them aren't even injured, they're just being held in the air by countless vines.
Taming is more about willpower than actually physically defeating them, and they're feeling pretty defeated right now.
[Monster Taming - Rank A]
Allows you to tame monsters by forming a bond with them, allowing you to summon them to your side and preventing them from being permanently slain as long as you live.
Adding two dozen Rank B monsters to my collection does good work in improving my taming skill.
I notice Yu getting healed while I tame the rest (making Primeape pout as I take his mount), her legs covered in injuries.
Guess what? They took out her legs and she got knocked down, exactly like I said she would.
Though to be fair, her plan was better than mine.
Heading back to the tree line to help Melissa, we pause as we spot a wriggling and yelping cocoon of sticky string, Caterpie proudly chittering as the cocoon swings from the tree it is hanging from.
…that's a suspiciously Eevee shaped cocoon.
"Caterpie, how?" I ask, making it wriggle smugly.
Caterpie is Rank E, Eevee is Rank C. I guess it was just a skill issue on Eevee's part.
Pulling the string cocoon apart enough to see Eevee's face, the little bastard tries to bite me, but the moment its mouth opens it gets another spray of string right into its mouth, making its struggles intensify.
Melissa climbs down from the tree as I watch the Eevee's struggles slow down, realising that it is well and truly caught.
Despite having just tried to bite me, it tries the tried and true method of puppy dog eyes (which is annoyingly effective as Melissa coos quietly), so I roll my eyes and start the taming process.
Eevee resists briefly before it looks around and realises how fucked it currently is, stopping its resistance in favor of cutely looking at us, as if it didn't just try to get us all killed by a stampede of angry bulls.
Rolling my eyes, I cut it free and grab it by the scruff of its neck, giving it a warning glare (backed up by Caterpie who is on my shoulder again) before I toss it towards Melissa.
"That little bastard is your problem," I say, making her eyes widen as she hugs the little guy, who cuddles against her looking far too smug for someone who just lost to a caterpillar.
Speaking of Caterpie, he starts to glow as he begins to evolve, unsurprising given his victories, growing in size as a dark green carapace forms around him.
Metapod, the Cocoon pokemon, also Rank E surprisingly, and much heavier as he falls off my shoulder.
A large eye on its cocoon stares at me droopily, and my instinctive understanding of my monsters tells me that Metapod just needs time to grow until his next evolution so I send him home with a pat on his head, he did great work today after all.
Melissa is obviously taking notes rapidly as Eevee sits on her shoulder, yipping cutely to try and get her attention. I suppose this is the first evolution she's seen in person.
Today has been a very successful expedition, plenty of monsters have been tamed, Caterpie evolved, honestly I'm ready to go home but my bird notices something that makes me pause.
"Guys, we have a problem," I say as I use my bird's vision to analyse the large monster it's found.
"What's up, Kaito?" Yu asks, Melissa being too busy writing in her journal to notice my words.
"I've found the Dungeon Boss, and it's about to become a Kaiju," I say simply, making them both freeze.
"What do you mean it's about to become a Kaiju?" Melissa asks in a shrill disbelieving tone.
"Exactly what I said, I can tell it's gathered a massive amount of energy and if nothing happens it's going to become a Kaiju, the last dungeon boss I saw wasn't like this," I explain, gesturing for them to follow me as we quietly make our way deeper into the forest, the sounds of a loud rumbling snoring making them pause. "I told you that I thought Kaijus were caused by monsters that gathered too much energy breaking free, and now I can confirm it. This guy gathers energy by sleeping, and is about to wake up and go wild."
As I say that, the gargantuan monster comes into view, laid on its back snoring away without a care in the world.
The massive body is even bigger than Blue in his largest form, it's body a dark blue with a cream coloured belly and face as it drools in its sleep, making a large puddle beneath it.
[Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokémon (Rank S), Dungeon Boss]
"How long do we have?" Yu asks seriously, accepting that I know more about monsters than her.
"I don't know, it could be weeks, or it could be tomorrow. I just know it's on the very cusp of becoming a Kaiju," I say, sensing the truly massive amount of energy inside this gargantuan monster.
"We'll tell Nezu, get a team to come and take this thing do-" Yu starts, trailing off as she pales.
Turning back, I also pause as I spot another Eevee climbing onto Snorlax, staring at us before it turns and looks at the massive monster.
Oh you have to be-
Eevee lets out a loud howl, interrupting my thoughts and making Snorlax's eyes snap open, jumping off its body as Snorlax lets out a furious roar of its own, very displeased that its sleep has been interrupted.
Rising up slowly, Snorlax turns and looks at us with eyes that glow with power, before my analysis helpfully tells me that Snorlax can send beams of energy out of its eyes.
Just in time for me to dive to the side, pulling Melissa with me as a beam of pure energy turns the ground I was standing on seconds previously into a crater.
As Snorlax roars again, starting to charge towards us as the ground shakes with every step, I spot the Eevee sitting in the tree line, smugly watching us get ready to fight this giant.
Oh I'm coming for you when I'm done with this thing, you stupid little dog.

DarkWolfShiro Author’s Note: Dungeons are hard to write.
This chapter was also delayed by the release of Age of Wonders 4, the next chapter will also likely be delayed by it. It’s a lot of fun.
I am entirely motivated by praise and interaction, so leave a review and I’ll probably write faster.
I have a discord server (technically someone else’s but my name is on the server so it’s basically mine) with a bunch of other authors and a load of porn. Here’s the link for that: discord .gg/wd3tUYWVCd
If it says it’s expired, add my (The Pumpkin King#1234) and I’ll invite you myself.
I’ve finally started to use my pat reon for something, mostly I’ve just added some discord integration so that my pat reons can read early previews of chapters. This won’t affect regular posting, but if you wanna read my works a day or two early then consider checking it out
