Munum chapter 8

Dogwalking

Ash was never told anything about Jador's schooling - his master didn't like compromising his free time with discussions about tedious things like homework. Ash would've been happy to help, but Jador's schooling regarded Munum economics and politics, not Pokemon. Jador assured him that his entertainment every day and night was helpful enough.

Today was the first day Jador's schooling had interfered with Ash's normal duties. Malifa had made it clear that his son was to have no distractions whatsoever for the day, not even the risk or promise of anything other than his many tests until this evening. So no training, exercise, or movies for Jador or his slave at the house. Nothing but studying and then passing the tests. Jador agreed on one condition...that his pet would have something to do in the meantime.

So Ash had been sent into the Al-Mazid city on some sort of errand, Lucario following closely behind for security. His regular loincloth had been substituted for a black shenti with the Malifa sigil on the front and a chain wrapped around his waist. This signaled to anyone that without explicit permission from his master, he wasn't to be touched.

Lucario guided him down the streets as he held onto the delivery he was supposed to make, a single letter Ash was forbidden to read, addressed to the owner of 'Pupmaker's Dogwalking Service'. Ash guessed it was some sort of reward for Lucario's service that he would need to supervise or participate in, and then he'd get his next order for the day.

Ash couldn't be touched, but everyone who saw him was still free to stare and whistle their approval. The frequent comments of 'Ass Bitchem' made Ash blush, but he wasn't permitted to speak to them, just the person he was delivering to. So he just walked by the masters parading their slaves around and leering at him as he followed the dog Pokemon to his destination.

The building he finally arrived at was a lot smaller than Ash had expected, a one-story stone building with a stylized white Houndour head painted on the door and the advertisement sign. A little bit...under Sheik Malifa's usual standards, though those were insanely high. Ash politely knocked on the door, musing to himself that the symbol looked familiar. "I have a message from House Malifa. May I enter?"

A vaguely familiar voice spoke out from the other side of the wooden door, "Wh-House Malifa?! Er...of course! Come on in!"

Ash opened the door and stepped through. The building was...surprisingly bare, with neither dogs nor pictures of dogs on the walls. Just a few seats for people waiting and a familiar young man with spiral tatoos sitting at the reception desk, the dog symbol as a white necklace around the boy's neck.

Wakor's eyes widened with pleased surprise as he took in the visiting slave, recognizing him as the tourist that he'd encountered off the boat in Rekik. "Well, well. Ash, right? I take it Sevof sold you off well?"

Ash was a little surprised that the first person he'd met in Munum was here, but he didn't show it. "Yes, he did. Thank you for directing me his way, Wakor. Do you...run this place?"

"Yes, I run Pupmaker's myself. I'm hoping my 'dogwalking' service gets a little more...popular. Needs a boost, and it looks like you'll be it..." Wakor explained as he took the letter from Ash's hands. Lucario walked up to read the letter alongside Wakor, in order to make sure his master's orders were followed to the letter.

Their eyes widened for a moment, but both Wakor and Lucario smiled widely as they read Malifa's commands for Ash Ketchum's day.

Ash blinked. "Um...is there anything you want me to do? I was only told to deliver the letter..."

Wakor smirked and picked up his amulet. "Don't worry, you'll learn in a moment. I'll be taking care of you for the day...Sheik Malifa wants you to take a good, long look at this amulet..."

Ash could tell what was about to happen. But a glance at the unhypnotized Lucario confirmed that this was, indeed, what the senior head of the Malifa house wanted him to do. He couldn't help but sigh to himself as his eyes returned to the glimmering stone around Wakor's neck. Ash's eyes widened as the glimmering lightshow continued with no interruption this time...

It was even more beautiful than the glimpse he'd received on his first day, more overwhelming...Wakor didn't need to hold back now that he was in private. The lights of the necklace were so pretty and elaborate on their own, Wakor didn't need to swing the gemstone like Jador would his pendulum, letting the image of the Houndour's face sink into Ash's mind...

Ash soon lost track of his surroundings as the white jewel and it's shining eyes overtook everything else, listening to Wakor's voice get more melodious and commanding...

"Just look into the dog's eyes, Ash...Look deeply and fall into them...You will do everything I ask because your master says I have you for the day..."

"Yesss..." Ash slurred as his mouth drooped, drinking in the brilliant lights that swallowed his very mind.

"Let your mind fall away, let your human self fade into the background...sink into the eyes of the dog, let the dog overtake everything else in your mind..."

It didn't take long at all for Ash to fall completely under Wakor's trance. A broad smile appeared on his face as his eyes completely glazed over. Lucario couldn't resist a chuckle as Wakor began his reprogramming.

"You are a Lillipup. A very good doggy, Ash Ketchum. A good, playful Lillipup that needs walkies and playtime..."

"I'm a...good doggy..." That's right, he was a Lillipup. A happy, silly, excited little puppy Pokemon who would bounce around his owners and make everybody happy in exchange for walkies.

"Good doggies don't wear clothes. Silly doggy, trying to dress up."

"Lillipups don't...dress up..." Ash quickly undid the shenti and chain around his waist. The fabric and metal were taken away from him, and he was as naked as any doggy should be. Lucario took the clothes and packed them away in a small cloth bag that he put around his shoulder.

"Good doggies behave themselves. We don't like them snipped, of course, just cupped."

"Lillipups...behave..." Ash faintly felt something seal around his cock and balls, keeping them locked up nice and snug. He wouldn't have any accidents like a bad doggie would.

"Good doggies walk like doggies, don't they? Hands and feet. They don't walk like people."

"Lillipups walk...on four paws..." Ash fell to all fours, exactly like a dog. He felt Lucario's paws adjust his body so he wouldn't ruin his back from being a good Lillipup.

"Good doggies will wag their tails whenever they're happy, and you're a very happy doggy, aren't you?"

"Rig-Geheh!" Ash gasped as he felt something shoved into his rear. It wasn't particularly deep or big, but it was clearly meant to stay in place for some time. The doggy wiggled his rear, and he could feel something furry behind him flap back and forth...his tail, obviously. And he was very happy to wag it.

"Good doggies don't talk like humans. They bark and they yip and they pant with their tongues hanging out like goofy, shameless little puppies."

"Y-arf! Woof woof!" The happiest Lillipup in Munum affirmed his joy at being a good boy, a broad and stupid smile with a dangling tongue appearing on his face.

"Good doggies live for head pats, scratches behind the ear, playing fetch, doggy treats, and being called a 'good boy'! Isn't that right?"

Ash barked out his happy answers to each question. He would do anything to be a good Lillipup! He lived for being and played with, and doggy treats and playing fetch! He hoped he would get to do that a lot today!

"Good doggie! Everyone loves a Lillipup, and you love it when everyone pets you. But you are most focused on making three people happy, your master Jador, your pack alpha Lucario, and your dog walker Wakor."

"Ruff, ruff ruff!"

"Good doggie! When I snap my fingers, you will wake up and be the happy Lillipup you really are. And when your Master Jador says "Stige Abda", you will be back to the normal self you were when you walked in my door."

"Ruff Ruff!"

Snap!

Ash the Lillipup looked up at his dogwalker and yipped happily while hopping up and down. Was it time for walkies? He wanted some walkies! Lucario, his alpha that was big enough to walk like a person, scratched him on the head right behind his ears, in a way that Ash always loved.

"Ok, Ash. Settle down now. Sit."

Ash was a good doggy, and he quickly slammed his butt down onto the floor while still leaning on his hands. The fuzzy tail flapped back and forth even as Wakor attached the leash at Ash's neck. Wakor took in the doggy panting with bright eyes and his tongue hanging out like a goofy Lillipup.

"Good doggy. Wanna go for walkies? I want everyone to see what a good doggy I made out of you!"

"Yip Yip!" Ash barked his approval, hopping back up as Wakor began leading him out of the building, where there would be so many people to pet him and tell him he was a good doggy and maybe they could go to the park and play fetch and this was going to be so much fun! Lucario followed closely, smirking all the way.

---

Today was a great day to be a happy Lillipup! Ash was so happy for so long that his tail got a little sore from all the wagging he did. Not that something as silly as that was going to dull his joy.

Walking through the city on the way to the park made everyone smile, especially his favorite dogwalker ever! Wakor was more than happy to show him off to everyone who stopped by to check Ash out. All the passersby were quite surprised to hear that his master was Jador Malifa, and that he trusted Wakor to take good care of his beloved pet Lillipup.

Ash showed them all the tricks he knew and demonstrated that he was the cleverest and best Lillipup ever! Sit, shake, roll over...the sandstone was a little hard to roll on, but Lucario showed him a trick so it wouldn't hurt so much. Everyone gave him headpats and yummy doggy treats and called him a good boy, which made his tail wag even harder with happiness. There were a few funny names he'd heard, but everyone gave their own nicknames for doggies.

And then there was the park! The Al-Mazid public park was the perfect place for good doggies like him to play fetch with their walkers and fellow doggies, with special grass being grown that was nicer on their paws than sand or sandstone, that they could roll over and pounce on while they romped together. There were also plenty of big, tasty sticks that Wakor would toss and Ash would race to pick up and return to his favorite dogwalker. He had to get a few lessons from his alpha about how Lillipups should run and play and behave, but Ash was a good doggy that learned very fast.

It was so much fun! There were so many doggies to run and chase and play tug-of-war with and splash in the pool together and do some roughhousing too! And their masters all liked Ash too, with everyone giving him a good headpat and calling him a good doggy and Wakor a good walker who they should definitely look up. Ash was so happy that Wakor was smiling so wide, and it was because he was such a good boy!

But the day had to end, and Ash ran back to Wakor the second he whistled that it was time to go back home. Ash was sad to leave the fun park, but he was super happy to come home to his wonderful master Jador. After another long walk back to his master's house, Ash almost pulled at his leash as soon as he saw his great and perfect master Jador waiting for him, but he remembered that he was a good boy and sat down at his walker's side, his tongue hanging out as he smiled up at the young man who owned him.

Jador looked a little tired from all his schoolwork, but he was very happy to see Ash again. "Heheh...I trust he had a good day?"

Lucario nodded, smiling despite himself.

Wakor continued. "Oh yes, sir. I pride myself on making sure my dogs have a wonderful time." Wakor explained before handing a slip of paper to Jador. "Here's the...wake up command. Whenever you want him back to normal."

Jador chuckled as he gave Ash a wonderful scratch on his head that made Ash wag his tail yet again. "Heh...thank you for taking good care of him. I imagine he's pretty tired..."

Wakor chuckled. "Lillipups have limitless energy...but yeah, he's been pretty busy today. Thank you so much for your patronage, Prince Malifa." The young man bowed and handed the leash to Jador, much to Ash's glee.

"Go and be well, Wakor." Jador waved goodbye as the dogwalker ran off back home. Ash looked up at his master with adoring eyes. His master smiled that wonderful smile as he gently tugged Ash's leash back into the house and back into Jador's room.

After undoing the leash, Jador sat down on his bed. A very happy but tired Lillipup sat down at his master's feet and placed his head onto Jador's lap for a few more headscratches before bedtime...

"Stige Abda" Jador said aloud.

And Ash the human promptly woke up, wearing nothing but a cage around his cock, a collar around his neck, and a 'tail' implanted into his rear. With his head in Jador's lap after a long day of being the world's goofiest Lillipup right where everyone in Munum could see him. Covered in dirt and grass and a few...handprints in odd places. And now his Pokemon were watching and giggling hysterically.

He blushed furiously, rather surprised that he still had any dignity to lose after all this time. But he didn't do anything to change his situation as Jador started petting his head, instead letting himself smile as his master pampered him. It had been an...exhausting day, and he deserved a...treat.

Jador sighed, a little too tired for anything more...exciting that night. "Well, my day went... pretty well, Ash. How was yours?"

Ash knew he could be honest with Jador. "...Very good, master. I must admit, it felt...good to completely check out of my head for a little bit."

"Perhaps we'll call Wakor again...and have you play with your Pokemon. Nothing too...wild, I'm sure they'd love a good romp in the gardens. What do you guys think?"

Pikachu and Lucario gave a sharp affirmative laugh to that idea, and Ash's blush somehow became even redder. He didn't protest the idea, though...a little fun with the Pokemon that didn't involve battling did seem like a fun day to have in the future.

"Though, I do have a question. He's not my family's usual...dogsitter. Heck, I'm surprised my father would even hire one. Some...posh guy who specializes in Furfrous and has his own private facility. Personally, I think he's overpriced and overrated, but you know my dad's 'standards'. Any idea why Sevof would recommend Wakor for you?"

Ash leaned into Jador's lap and thought back, letting his master scratch him behind the ears. "Wakor was actually the first person I met in Munum. Back before I...understood how Munum worked. He greeted me right off the boat and helped me find Professor Sevof...at least, that's what I thought he was doing at the time."

Jador chuckled. "Oh, he did. If you'd been left on your own in the Rekik marketplace, you might've gotten taken by a lesser auctioneer, and we'd never have met. You owe Wakor quite a bit."

"...I guess so." Ash had to giggle as Jador tickled the back of his ears. "I'm...much happier with you, Jador."

"That's a good boy." Jador chuckled before sighing. "Bad news is that tomorrows the unfortunate combo of an exam for me and a 'contact' day for you."

Ash nodded. 'Contact days' were the days he would call his friends and family outside Munum. He had to make things look as normal as possible so there would be no questions or investigations into Al-Mazid's secrets.

"I trust father and Sevof have already gone over everything you need to say?" Jador asked.

His slave nodded. "Yes, they did. Very thoroughly. I'm training for the Munum tournament with you as my sponsor, and for entertainment we watch movies and play video games. Al-Mazid doesn't allow cameras for cultural reasons, but I'll have some photos ready when I get back of Rekik and the desert. I've got a few...funny stories about you and my Pokemon."

"All Safe for Work, I trust." Jador smiled in relief when Ash nodded. "They did the same for me...even though I'm missing this one. Can't help but hope I'll meet one of your old friends eventually."

Ash couldn't help but swallow in nervousness. "I...just hope they have a good time if they do."

His master patted his head. "Of course they will. Don't worry. I'm only happy when everyone's happy. And don't worry...we've done this before, everything will be just fine for everyone. I've even got your Munum outfit ready for tomorrow, and I think it will look good on you..."

Ash chuckled. "Not as good as my...usual outfit, I'm sure."

The young prince laughed at that. "Maybe not. Well, wash yourself up, pick out your favorite 'bedclothes' and settle in for the night. Tomorrow will be here before you know it..."
