Story by me

A new universe, a new victim to add to my collection. This time I was transported to a booming metropolis, very different from the last place. And, this place was like heaven! There were plenty others like me this time! Although, they all wore shoes. Gross! But I guess that would make my potential victim all the more sensitive down there! Still, who to choose?

After a while of roaming, I learned this town was called Anima City. This place is a safe haven for what is known here as Beastmen. Interesting, so humans and Beastmen don’t get along at all here in this world. And what is more, each Beastmen had a human appearance as well. I wondered why you would have a human appearance as well as a beast one, and why they constantly switch between the two guises, but it wasn’t my place to tell them how to live.

“You are new around here, care to explain yourself?”

Startled, I turned around quickly. Before me was a black feline, with a white diamond on her head. “Heh, was it that obvious? Well…” I quickly explained my situation, figuring the truth would be hard to believe.

“Interesting.” She stated before slightly giggling to herself. I looked at her quizzically, before she went on. “Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you. I actually have my eyes on a very special beastman here, who so happens to be ticklish. I was going to give him another session soon, but I can share him if you promise to bring him back. Here, you will need these.” She tossed me what looked like a metal ball and some restraints. “Also, I want the details, or even video recording or it.”

I looked at these intently, before glancing back at her. “What are these for? I have a trophy wall to contain him already.”

“Let me guess, a wooden one. That won’t last a second against him. These bindings will keep him from easily escaping. And just to be safe, use the ball if you suddenly need to subdue him if he does manage to escape. Just press the button and toss it quickly his way. Cover your nose as well, as it is a form of knockout gas.”

I tucked them away, before I asked just who this Beastman was. She responded that it was the mighty Silver Wolf. She showed me a picture of who it was, as well as his Ginrou form. After remembering every detail, I turned to leave, before the cat stopped me one last time. She told me he wouldn’t come willingly, so I would need to somehow trick him. She handed me a bottle, telling me it was another of her experiments. It wasn’t lethal or anything, but it would make him woozy for a bit, just long enough for me to take him back to my place. I thanked her again, before setting out to find this Beastman.

Luckily, it didn’t take very long at all. He was sitting alone outside a coffee shop. Perfect, I would just pour a little of this concoction into his drink. Now, how to do it without him noticing. Realizing I didn’t have any kind of money for this dimension, I had to go with less-than-ideal scenarios. I told another Beastman to accidentally walk into this Silver Wolf, spilling his drink on him. Luckily, it worked to perfection! During the distraction, I snuck some of the experiment into his coffee. After the ordeal was over, I decided to make my presence known, joining the now agitated beastman. He took a sip of his coffee, and instantly he started to appear dizzy. I offered to help him get to either his house or a doctor. Not being able to think correctly, he accepted my help. Once we were out of the public eye, I knew I needed to knock him out and fast. I, ahem, accidentally lost my hold on the silver wolf, and with his zero sense of balance, he fell backwards, hitting his head on the pavement and momentarily knocking him out. Perfect! I grabbed ahold of him, pressed the button, and back to my dungeon we went.

Upon arriving, I heard the familiar sounds of the Lucario from my previous adventure still laughing from the lickles of the two other Pokémon, music to my ears. I set the Silver Wolf in the same position as the Lucario before him, head and paws sticking out of my tickle wall. Using the metal ball just as a precaution, it held his hands, legs, and head in place for zero chance of escape. Shortly after I did, he already started coming through. Upon noticing his predicament, he stared right at me, an angry look on his face. “What is the meaning of this?” He then heard the Lucario next to him, noticed he was in the same position, before he whispered to himself, “Really, tickling again?” He returned his glare back at me, with me smiling back at him. He obviously didn’t like this very much, as I could see him attempting to struggle and free himself. Upon finding he wasn’t getting anywhere, he turned back to me with a stern expression. “Release me now, and whoever that is next to me, or else.”

“I choose or else. And that else involves you being the same giggling mess as your fellow ticklee. I hope you are ready, for your paws are mine.” I knew exactly what tools I would use against him. The first one was the classic feather duster. Why use one feather, when you could use multiple and tickle all over. I started to lightly swish the duster all over his paws. I watch as his toes are constantly twitching, his mouth trying its hardest not to form a smile. “You feeling it, aren’t you? It is okay to laugh, just ask the Lucario over there.”

“I… won’t break… that easily…” As much as he denied it, I could see it in his face how badly it was actually affecting him. He could try to deny it all he wanted, but sooner or later, he would be the same laughing mess as his fellow trophy. His paws kept jerking, trying anything to free themselves. His toes would continue to flex, trying to lessen the feathers stroking underneath them. His head started shaking back and forth, but that won’t help distract him from the tickling.

“Admit it, you like this Shirou. You like the feeling of these feathers on your paws. You don’t have to hold back that smile. Just enjoy these tickles on the bottom of your helpless soles. Coochie coo. How about a smile for you?” The taunting seemed to work, as a smile started to form on his face. “There we go. Come on, you can smile. Smile for the camera behind me for all the world to see.” That one did it, as a blush started forming on his face.

“Dahamn yohohou…” He started snickering as the feathers continued their dancing over his paws. His smile started finally showing up, as his attempts to escape continued on. “Whehen I gehet ohohowt of hehere…”

“Oh Chuckles, why does everyone always say that? When I get out of here, I’ll blah blah blah. You get out when I let you. So just relax, laugh the night away, because we are just getting started.” I finally ceased tickling with the feather duster, giving his soles a slight reprieve. I see them continue to fidget, letting me know he was feeling the aftereffect tingling. “Ready Chuckles, it will only get better from here.”

“Stop… calling me… Chuckles….” Shirou started growling lightly, trying to act intimidating, but it wasn’t working. His paws looked like they were trying to pull away, but there was little chance of them getting away. He cocked his head as he heard me start my next tool, the simple but effective electric toothbrush. He must be having some sort of flashbacks from a previous session, because his demeanor instantly changed. Whatever that cat did to him definitely stuck with him.

“Now now Chuckles, that is your new name now while you are my trophy. Hope that name’s sake stays true, because here… It… Comes…” I decided to start out on his black pads, testing just how sensitive they were. His toes instantly shot backwards, trying to get away, before they curled downwards to try to hide them. “Nice, that was a good reaction. Keep them coming Chuckie.” Since his toes curled down as much as they could, I changed pads and focused on the lower one.

“Gahaa, gehet that awahay! I’m waharning… you…” His smile was out in full display now, his voice starting to crack as he couldn’t avoid the whirling brush.

“Or else what Chuck? I might believe you, but not with that silly grin on your face.” I stroked the fur on his face, asserting my dominance over him as he couldn’t do anything to stop me. “Now, if you are as resilient as you want to make me believe, you would stop trying to defend these.” I gently pulled his toes back with my hand, before resuming whizzing the toothbrush over his toe pads.

“Noho nohoho nohohohahaha!!!” I could feel his strength as he fought to bring his toes back down, but I wasn’t going to relent. However, I noticed something. His struggling was harder now than it was before. The only difference was instant of focusing one pad, I was also swiping between the pads. To test my theory, I just put the brush between a few of them, with instant results as his laughter increased. “Gehehet thahahahat ohohout of thehehehere nohohowhahaha!!!”

“Oh Chuckles, you know I can’t do that, not yet anyways. Don’t worry, you are handling this exceptionally well.” I continued brushing between his paw pads, watching as the result made him laugh harder and harder. I almost felt bad for him. Almost.

“Gahahad, nohoho mohohore. I gihihive. I gihihihahaha!!!” I looked on as tears started flowing down. His head was shaking all over the place now. With no way to prevent it, he must be slowly going mad. I decided to cut him some slack, but only a little bit.

“Fine, but don’t say I never did anything for you.” I took the brush away from his pads, giving them time to try to shake off the tingling feeling. “See Chuckles, this isn’t so bad.” I start rubbing his pads, listening as his snickering was slowing down. Then, I almost heard a low sound, almost like it was a content grunt. “Oh, you like that Chuckles?” I guess you are always on your feet all day after all. But unfortunately, the break is over.”

“What?” Shirou instantly looked up, a look of shock on his face.

“You didn’t think I was done, did you? Oh no, I still have to clean the bottom portion of your paws.” I flashed him an innocent smile, before turning the toothbrush back on. “Go ahead and laugh for me!”

His paws went back to flailing, trying to escape yet again. When will he learn that it is futile to escape? “Dahaham yohohohou!!! Yohohou’ll pahahay!!!” His laughter wasn’t as loud as it was when I was around his pads, but it was giving him a taster of what was to come.

“Will I? But I love your laughter, so I think I’ll continue. Laugh it up Chuckie!” I actually was laughing myself as I was really enjoying giving him the tickling he was getting. I whizzed the toothbrush all around his heel, reveling in his laughter. “Laugh Chuckles, laugh! Coochie coochie, feel the brush tickling your ticklish soles.”

Shirou could do nothing but laugh as he felt the bristles whirl all around his paw. You could almost see the redness from his skin appearing underneath his fur. Just to keep him on edge, I would bring the brush back up to his pads, letting his laughter increase before bringing it back down to torment his heel.

Finally, I decided to give him another pause, turning off the toothbrush and setting it aside before bringing in my next tool. “Almost there Chuckles. You are doing good, just need to laugh a little more if you could.” I smirked as I heard him growl at me. Good, he still has some fight left in him. However, there is no way he is ready for this! I bring out my next tool, a modified car buffer. A normal one would probably burn and cause damage, so this one has slowed way down, and fluffier just to add a more ticklish sensation. Whereas the toothbrush could only cover a small area, this car buffer would be able to cover his whole paw. I would love to see his toes try to avoid this. “Alright Chuckles, your paws are about to get polished in 3… 2… 1…”

The moment I made contact, he howled with laughter louder than ever. I made sure his toes had no chance of curling, making them have to endure the full force. “NOHOHO, GEHEHET IHIHIT AWAHAHAHAY!!! PLEHEHEASEHAHAHAHA!!!!” I watched as his whole paw was getting tickled. My own toes curled in defense, possibly wondering what it would feel like. “TUHURHURHURN IHIHIHIT AHAHAFFFF!!!!! TUHUHUHRN IHIHIHIT AHAHAHAF!!! HAHAHAHA PLEHEHEHEASE!!!!”

I was actually taken aback with how quickly he turned. This must be extremely ticklish for him. But, then again, I made sure to sensitize his paws with the other tools before this one. Next time I use this tool, I need to try it first to see if it effects are the same. After making my mental note, I continued watching on as Shirou was laughing his head off. It truly was a sight to behold. I turned towards the Lucario, who was still laughing as the other two canine Pokémon continued licking his paws. I turned around, noticing the empty spot for my last victim. It was getting close, but Shirou still needed my attention for the next few minutes. “Don’t worry Chuckles, I will in a bit. Just wait a few more minutes, it shouldn’t be that hard.” I don’t know if he actually heard me, his laughter was so loud, as he continued begging me to stop. Finally, I turned the buffer off, before standing up myself to stretch.

“That was quite fun Chuckles, but I fear our time is running short. But worry not, for while I am away, I have the perfect tool to keep you company.” Shirou was too busy panting to be able to respond to me. I went ahead and grabbed the tickle machine that would keep Shirou busy while I find and tickle my next victim, the lickle wheel! One of my favorites, this machine had two wheels, one for each paw, that had on it loose straps of leather with hard bristles attached to then. While the wheel turned, each leather strap would brush around Shirou’s paws, with the bristles simulating a licking effect. And since the leather straps were fairly loose, it would provide a different tickle with each rotation. I turn the machine on, watching as each brush would provide a lickle like experience. “As they say, see you in a while!”

“NOHOHOH, DOHOHON’T LEHEHEAVE US LIHIHIHIKE THIHIHIHS!!!” Shirou was struggling as the leather brushed his paws. His paw would wiggle every which way to avoid the tickles, to no avail.

“Sorry pal, but duty calls. Besides, you can handle it. I have faith in you.” I watched on for a few more seconds, pleased with the results I got from Shirou. He was hard to crack at first, but broke over time, much to my enjoyment. I retreated back to my transporter. “Alright, so far you are two for two. Let’s see if we could make it a perfect three for three.” Taking one last glance at my trophies, I smile as I hit the button, transporting me to my next world.
