A Pawsome Johto Journey

By, Riolu



Chapter 1



Nathaniel woke with a stretch, accidentally shoving Selina in the process.



“Hey!” she said. “What’d I do?”



“You fell in love with a guy like me that’s what.” Nathaniel said laughing.



“Then for falling in love with me you get this.” She said planting a kiss on him. Nathaniel began purring and she shoved him away. “Darn it. I wish either I could do that and tickle your lips, or that you couldn’t do that and can’t tickle mine.”



“But it gives me something over you.” Nathaniel said smiling. “Let’s get changed so we can leave.”



“Do we have to leave so quickly?” Arcanine asked licking them both. “Johto will wait for us.”



“I’d rather not have a repeat of last night.” Nathaniel said thinking of how his siblings kept begging him to wait another day. “We’ve put the journey off for a whole week that we could probably have gotten our first badge in at least. Chad’s already left for Hoen and said he has his first badge already.”



“Okay then little one.” Arcanine said. “I guess it’s a good thing you said goodbye to all of your Pokémon then already. You do realize that Skip isn’t going to let you go without a goodbye right?”



“Since when has he ever?” Nathaniel asked laughing. “Good old Skip. He’s the big brother I always would have wanted if I had to have one. I remember in my past life I liked being the oldest but if I had an older brother, I would have wanted him to be just like Skip.”



Nathaniel got out of the crib with Selina and picked her up immediately. “Ladies first.” Nathaniel said as she protested slightly. She rolled her eyes at how he liked to use chivalry to his own advantage and let him set her on the table. Nathaniel didn’t treat her to the oil massage he normally would have in the mornings since they had to get moving and had her in a fresh diaper quickly. He then stopped her from getting him so they could change their two diapered Pokémon first. Anthony and Cubone were in a fresh diaper in no time and then Nathaniel was diapered. He had Arcanine wait to give them breakfast so they could avoid the siblings and they went outside.



“Leaving without saying goodbye?” Skip asked from the porch.



“I expected you to be here so we came out this way.” Nathaniel said as he gave Skip a hug.



“Good luck little brother.” Skip said. “Good luck to you too my future sister in-law.”



“Thanks Skip.” Selina said. “We’ll call when we get to Violet City at the latest.”



“You’d better.” Skip said. “We want to know you made it to Johto safely.”



Nathaniel and Selina waved goodbye as they walked down the path and out of the clearing. They continued through the still sleeping Pallet Town and up towards Viridian City.



“Any particular reason we’re walking to Johto?” Selina asked.



“We never walked to many places in our last journey.” Nathaniel said. “I thought we’d at least walk to Tohjo Falls before we began our flight.”



Selina nodded and they passed through Viridian City. They entered the building they would have to enter to get to Indigo Plateau, if it weren’t for the fact that they could fly over it. When they entered they headed through the south doorway and down the route. Nathaniel got a funny feeling when they began to head west that they were being watched. He used his Aura Sight and couldn’t see who was following them so he kept going. He still kept a lookout in case someone was just outside the range of his 360 degree vision he could use with his Aura Sight. They finally reached Tohjo Falls and decided to fly over the cave instead of going through it. They reached the other side and Nathaniel felt the feeling again. He looked around with his regular vision this time and saw something disappear overhead. He didn’t get a good look at it so he kept his sense about him. They reached a small body of water and could see New Bark Town on the other side of it.



“Ready to take our first steps into Johto?” Nathaniel asked.



“As soon as we land.” Selina responded smiling.



They flew over the water and came to a landing in the town. Nathaniel took a few moments just to savor the feeling of stepping into Johto and then rolled his eyes when he saw Selina asking directions to the lab. They followed the directions and came to the building. Inside they saw a younger looking squirrel at his desk working on something intently. He looked up when Nathaniel gave a polite cough and smiled at them.



“Welcome to the Johto Lab.” He said. “Call me Elm, Professor Elm, or just Professor, whichever suits you the most. What can I do for you today?”



“I’m Selina from Pallet Town and this is Nathaniel.” Selina said.



“OH!” Elm said jumping to attention. “You’re the bright pupil that Oak was talking about. And your name is here too Selina. I take it the two of you are here for your starter Pokémon?”



“As a matter of fact yes.” Nathaniel said.



“Wait here for a sec and I’ll go get them.” The excited squirrel said. He ran to a small room and came out with six pokeballs. “Now let’s see these first.”



He let three of the starters out and turned to Selina. “These girls are for you. Take good care of them please.”



“I will.” Selina said hugging the Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. The happy Pokémon just hugged her back as best they could.



“I’ve kept these in stasis for awhile.” Elm said handing Nathaniel his three. “I’m hoping there isn’t anything wrong with them. I was hoping to give these to you when you began your journey. I should have expected you to start in your home region.”



“Can something go wrong if a Pokémon is in stasis too long?” Nathaniel asked.



“I don’t think there would be for as long as they’ve been in stasis.” Elm said. “There have been recorded accounts of stasis weakening the muscles for some time after a being would come out. If anything is wrong with these three I’m sure they’ll be fine in a matter of days.”



Nathaniel sent out the three Pokémon and crouched down to the level of his three new Pokémon. “Hi guys. I’m Nathaniel, your new trainer.”



The Chikorita rushed him and began rubbing up against his leg and the Cyndaquil timidly shook Nathaniel’s hand. The Totodile walked around him sniffing for a bit. Then he opened his jaws and clamped down on Nathaniel’s tail. Nathaniel was prepared for it and his tail may as well have been made of stone as hard as it was. He let some of the energy he had charged there discharge and Totodile let go immediately spitting out a few hairs and rubbing his jaws.



“Just a small warning Totodile.” Nathaniel said. “If you’re going to bite my tail, make sure it won’t hurt. And if you bite Selina’s tail, then you’re in big trouble. Actually if you bite her period, you’re in trouble.”



Totodile nodded and then shook Nathaniel’s hand. Nathaniel thanked Elm and left with Selina and the new starters. When they got outside they found Arcanine off in some brush outside of town nursing Anthony and Cubone. The starters were all surprised by that and looked up at their trainers questioningly.



“You can go ahead if she lets you.” Nathaniel said. “Arcanine has a lot of milk to give so we make sure she doesn’t get to full. It hurts her when she is.”



“You can go right ahead little ones.” Arcanine said maternally. “If you hunger I have more than enough. I may look fierce but I won’t bite. My bark is worse anyway.”



Nathaniel could feel the starter’s curiosity but could also feel how embarrassed they were at the thought of suckling mother’s milk like infants. Nathaniel smiled and decided to help his a bit by picking them up and carrying them close to Arcanine. Arcanine nudged them toward her and growled when they started to back away. Cyndaquil immediately began suckling being the timid little thing he was. Nathaniel had to laugh since that was exactly what happened the first time he suckled Arcanine. Totodile looked like he was about to say he wasn’t hungry until his stomach growled and he rather embarrassedly began to suckle as well. Chikorita didn’t want to be left out so he began suckling too. Selina’s starters began to suckle when they saw Nathaniel’s begin. Nathaniel smiled at how cute the eight of them looked and wasn’t surprised when the six starters fell asleep as all who suckle Arcanine for the first time do.

Chapter 2

Nathaniel and Selina had breakfast from Arcanine when the starters had finished suckling and waited for them to wake up. Nathaniel kept watch for whatever had been watching them and didn’t notice someone creeping up on them until he felt someone enter the range of his Aura Sight. He was stunned when he saw who it was and then was very irritated. He gated behind the one who’d been following him and grabbed him from behind.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU”RE DOING HERE?” Nathaniel asked angrily. He cooled off when he realized he’d scared his little stalker into crying. “I’m sorry for scaring you like that Ethan but seriously, why did you follow us?”

Ethan just turned around and sobbed into his shirt until he regained his composure. He looked up into Nathaniel’s still irritated eyes and sighed. “I didn’t want to be left at home again.”

“You’re not old enough to be traveling with us.” Nathaniel said.

“Mentally I’m ten!” Ethan said irritatedly. “And you and Selina are 18 and 17! It should be fine. It’s not like I’m coming as a trainer. I just wanted to come.”

Nathaniel groaned and rubbed his muzzle. “You can come with as far as Cherrygrove but then I’m calling Skip…”

“NO!” Ethan whined. “I don’t want to go back that soon.”

“I’ll call Skip and ask if you can come with.” Nathaniel continued. “If he says yes and you don’t get on my nerves too much during the journey, or anyone else’s, then you can come with. If you end up being too irritating though I’ll gate you back at the next available moment, capish?”

“Thank you!” Ethan said hugging Nathaniel. “And don’t worry if we get separated and a wild Pokémon attacks me. Linoone followed me so I can defend myself.”

Nathaniel rolled his eyes and carried the otterish squirrel back over to the now fully awakened group.

“I’m not going to even ask how you managed to follow us.” Selina said when she saw Ethan.

“Why not?” Ethan asked. “Is it because you’re going to read my mind to find out?”

“No, I just don’t want to know.” Selina said. “I hope you brought some of your own diapers because we don’t have any in your size.”

“Oops.” Ethan said.

“That’s just great.” Nathaniel said. “I’ll gate home and get some if Skip agrees. You’re carrying them though. Plus for being so sneaky I’m not giving you any oil massages while I’m on my Johto journey. Plus when I gate back, you’re still coming with because I’m sure Zoe will have an earful for you.”

“Do I have to?” Ethan whined.

“Yes you do.” Arcanine said. “Plus you’ll take whatever punishment I see fit to dish out at any time during the journey. Come here to begin it.”

Ethan whined some more and shuffled slowly to Arcanine. Arcanine gave a sharp bark and Ethan ran up to her. She trapped him between her paws and stripped him to his diaper. She gave him first a few taps with her paw that must have hurt since Ethan began crying and then she roughly licked him clean from head to toe. Ethan had clearly wet and messed himself by the time Arcanine had finished with him. She let him get up and then she ordered him to climb onto her and when he did, she jerked herself in a manner that caused him to sit down hard and Nathaniel knew that there would be quite a mess to clean up later.

“Would you please pack his clothes away?” Arcanine asked. “He’s going to be marched into Cherrygrove City just like this.”

Ethan cried harder at that and Nathaniel couldn’t help but feel that Arcanine may have gone just a little far. But he sensed her frustration towards someone who had irritated her pup so much and decided that hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn, especially if that woman is an angry mother and decided not to risk any backlash. Selina called back her starters and Cubone, but Nathaniel let his Pokémon stay out. He warned Totodile that Arcanine may make him suffer the same fate if he bit someone painfully as Arcanine would be angered at his irritating him. They saw Cherrygrove up ahead and Ethan hid as much as he could in Arcanine’s fur. Arcanine made sure she walked in such a manner as to squish the mess in Ethan’s diaper around even more. Nathaniel made a note to ask Arcanine later if she would go easier on Ethan for the rest of the journey.

Before they reached Cherrygrove, Nathaniel’s starters stopped abruptly. Nathaniel looked at them and saw a shocked look on their faces. He was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the puddles spreading beneath them. The starters began to run off crying but Nathaniel caught all three of them in a hug. The three tried to wriggle free but gave up finally and just sobbed into Nathaniel’s shirt. Nathaniel made a note to change his shirt when he got home and sent positive energy pulsing through his Pokémon to soothe them.

“I take it you’re either ashamed of what just happened, it never happened before, you’re afraid of what I must think of you now or some combination of the three.” Nathaniel said.

The starters looked up at him and nodded before continuing to cry into his shirt. Nathaniel wondered if they made something like a diaper for someone to cry on and spoke to his Pokémon again. “You guys can talk to me. If something is wrong I need to know. You three became my friends as soon as I became your trainer and I look out for my friends.”

“You were right about all three.” Cyndaquil said in a voice so quiet it was only because Nathaniel had truly exceptional hearing that he could tell what he said.

“I’ll get you guys checked at the Pokémon center when we get there.” Nathaniel said. “You don’t need to worry even if something is wrong. I have a way of taking care of this kind of thing.”

The trio of starters began sobbing this time with relief and Nathaniel walked back to the group with them before heading into Cherrygrove.

Chapter 3

Nathaniel had Selina take his starters when they got to the Pokémon center while he made the extremely likely unpleasant trip back home. Nathaniel felt Ethan had been punished too much already after being walked through town in nothing but a very messy diaper. But Ethan had to face every punishment for all the worry and frustration he likely had caused.

“Nathaniel, Ethan’s…right here!” Zoe said worriedly at the start before finishing angrily.

“He followed me.” Nathaniel said. “He’s been punished by Arcanine already and he’s here to take whatever comes his way before I ask you and Skip if he can come with me through Johto.”

“Do you really think we’d let him after the stunt he pulled?” Zoe practically shouted.

“Of course we would.” Skip said from the doorway of the bedroom. “I assume that since Arcanine punished him she has even more planned for him if he continues to travel with you. Plus I’m guessing you are punishing him in some way.”

“Yes I am.” Nathaniel said. “He won’t be getting any oil massage from me at any point while I’m trying to clear Johto including when I’m home. Plus he has to come here to take whatever punishment is to come his way. He may have already been punished enough since Arcanine walked him through Cherrygrove just like this. But he has to take his lumps here as well if he wants to come back to Johto with me. I know what it’s like to be punished by you Skip so that would be a good place to finish. Whatever you have planned will likely be appropriate as well Zoe. I’m sure Shannon will want to lay into him as well.”

Ethan sobbed at the thought of what lay ahead for him. Nathaniel didn’t want to be around for it and promised to be back in an hour to see if they make the decision as to whether he could come with or not. He went back to the Pokémon Center in Cherrygrove and found Selina waiting outside of an examination room.

“Any news?” Nathaniel asked.

“No.” Selina answered. “How about you?”

“I left while they handed down their judgment and sentencing.” Nathaniel said. “I’ll be going back in an hour unless I have to take care of the starters.”

The door of the examination room opened and the starters came out with a nurse. “We checked them out and we’ve found something. The stasis they were in has weakened their bladder muscles but nothing else. It will take the same amount of time for them to get their bladders back up to normal strength and control as it would take to potty train any child. I recommend they wear diapers until then.”

“Thank you.” Nathaniel said. “Could I have some? I left the ones I use for my other Pokémon at home.”

“Sure thing.” The nurse said. “Go ahead and use the examination room. You’ll find the items you need in the cupboard.”

Nathaniel and Selina walked into the room with the starters, who still had no idea what was going on. Nathaniel set all three of them on the table and got out a diaper for each of them. He also set Anthony up on the table and decided to use him as a guinea pig, with his telepathic permission, and diaper him first in front of the starters. When he’d finished with Anthony the three backed away a bit.

“I don’t want to wear something like that!” Totodile complained. Cyndaquil just looked nervous about it and Chikorita, Nathaniel could tell, was just going along with the other three.

“You guys will unfortunately need them for awhile.” Nathaniel said. “Don’t complain so much. Anthony didn’t make a fuss about it. Plus I have many other Pokémon who wear diapers as well, and they actually like them. Even the ones who don’t actually need them.”

“I’d be willing to make a deal then.” Totodile said. “If you can prove you have Pokémon like that, then we’ll wear diapers too. But if you don’t, we get to put a diaper on you and then you’ll wear and use them.”

“Done.” Nathaniel said shaking Totodile’s hand. “Now lie down so I can diaper you.”

“Hey!” Totodile said. “You have to show us first.”

“We never said that.” Nathaniel said. “Even if I didn’t have any I’d put you in them even if I had to force you since you need them. Now please lie down or I will force you.”

Totodile adamantly crossed his arms. Cyndaquil on the other hand laid on the table immediately. Chikorita looked undecided. Nathaniel decided to try something new with his Positive energy. He fired a beam at Totodile and smiled as his power worked. All of Totodile’s muscles went completely limp and he fell to the table. Chikorita laid down seeing them both lying down. Nathaniel took something that Selina offered him and gave an oil massage to both Chikorita and Cyndaquil. He hesitated on giving the limp Totodile with the furious look in his eyes the treatment but decided to anyway. When he’d finished with the three of them he quickly diapered them and gave Totodile a few pokes with Negative energy and he could move again.

“I think I actually would have been willing to wear them just to get that treatment.” Totodile said. “You could have told me instead of turning me into a noodle.”

“That’s a first time thing and for certain other occasions.” Nathaniel said. “We’ll go meet those other Pokémon now.”

“But we’re already in diapers.” Totodile said. “What’s the…oh! I forgot about the other end of that deal.”

“I assumed when you said you’d wear diapers that you meant willingly.” Nathaniel said. “And the rest of the deal still holds. Here we go.”

Nathaniel opened a gate and they walked through into the cavern.

Chapter 4

Nathaniel gave a shrill whistle when everyone was through the gate. The birds were the first to reach him and they intently examined the starters. The starters examined them as well.

“They aren’t wearing diapers!” Totodile said. “Looks like we win.”

“Actually, aside from Arcanine, they are the only Pokémon I have who are not wearing diapers.” Nathaniel said.

“So do you have like two other Pokémon or something?” Totodile asked. “You’d have to have at least five Pokémon in diapers for us to wear these willingly.”

“I’m going to have allot of trouble from you aren’t I?” Nathaniel asked.

“Maybe you will, maybe you won’t.” Totodile said sticking his tongue out at him. Nathaniel was glad to see Cyndaquil and Chikorita didn’t copy him at least. He hoped Cyndaquil wouldn’t stay so timid and grow some backbone while Chikorita would get some independence so he’d stop just following whatever the other two did.

The starters turned around when they heard a virtual stampede coming towards them. The three Mewtwo in diapers that were coming towards them clearly made Totodile nervous. He groaned when he saw the two Mew floating along in their wake also in diapers. There was the five and then came four more. Nathaniel’s Kanto starters and Pikachu. Then came Selina’s diapered Pokémon. Four of them were in diapers anyway. Kangaskhan was chasing after Mew with a diaper in her hands. She caught up with Mew and diapered him while Mew and all of the other Pokémon met the starters.

“These are the newest edition to the family guys.” Nathaniel said. “Get to know them while I go talk to Skip about something.”

Nathaniel left the Pokémon with Selina and walked upstairs. He could have gated but decided to give them as much time as they needed. He found Selina and Zoe in the living room and sat down across from them.

“Is Shannon taking her turn punishing him?” Nathaniel asked.

“Oh yes.” Skip said chuckling. “I think she’s probably punishing him even more than Arcanine did.”

“Why do you say that?” Nathaniel asked.

“She’s the one changing his diaper.” Zoe said.

Nathaniel winced. He remembered when Shannon decided to change his diaper once. She was very thorough and got the diaper on perfectly. But gentle, she was not. Especially when it came to removing feces that was stuck to fur. Nathaniel found out that when he had a bit too much fiber in his diet once that he could actually mess his diapers. The food would pass through him quicker than his normally efficient digestive system could handle. Nathaniel didn’t enjoy the messy diaper in the slightest. The change from Shannon though was even worse because he was sure he lost half the hairs in that area as she peeled some pieces off.

“She’s giving him an earful as well.” Skip said. “She feels insulted that Ethan didn’t tell her his plan at least. She is his girlfriend after all.”

Nathaniel chuckled. “So have you two passed your sentences yet?”

“I vented my feelings.” Zoe said. “I think Skip was much more effective though.”

“Trust me dear.” Skip said. “You’re angry chattering is still bad enough.”

“I don’t chatter!” Zoe said. “I may be a squirrel, but I’m no more long winded than any other furr.”

“You are when you’re angry.” Skip said. He stopped her from beginning to chatter at him by planting a kiss on her.

“What was I about to say?” Zoe asked when she parted from him.

“You were about to tell him what a good idea it would be for Ethan to travel with me.” Nathaniel offered hopefully.

“Yes he can travel with you.” Zoe said.

“Whew!” Nathaniel said relieved. “Don’t worry about him. He’ll have Linoone to protect him and Arcanine is likely to keep him in her sights at all times. She may not even let him leave her side. She still plans to give him additional punishment for irritating me so much.”

“Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn right?” Skip asked laughing.

“Especially when it’s an angry mother.” Nathaniel said. “I thought the same thing when Arcanine was punishing Ethan earlier.”

Everyone turned to the stairs and saw Ethan coming down with Shannon. Ethan, as Nathaniel expected he would be, was wincing at every step and Shannon was making sure he took the smallest steps he could. When they got up to Nathaniel, Shannon used her psionics to move Ethan onto the table and sat him down to a small yelp.

“One freshly diapered squirrel ready for you Nathaniel.” Shannon said. “I’m sorry but I have to make a jab at this and say that he didn’t make nearly as much fuss as you did when I changed you.”

Ethan smiled at that and Nathaniel let him have the small victory. He’d been punished a bit too much in Nathaniel’s opinion and deserved something. He sent the still wincing Ethan upstairs to pack his backpack with changing supplies and a couple sets of clothes and told him to meet him down in the cavern. He gated down to the cavern himself and located his starters. His own Pokémon had ceased their examinations and now the starters were just enjoying the scenery with Anthony, Selina, Cubone and the other Johto starters. Nathaniel had to laugh at how clear it was that Selina’s starters liked his. The Cyndaquils were looking at each other the same way the Squirrel’s used to. Completely shy of the other. The Chikoritas were friendly and had apparently hit off right away. What was funniest was Selina’s Totodile. It was clear the two liked each other, but Selina’s Totodile looked like she could keep his in line with just a look. Nathaniel guessed she may even be able to do that if she was still a Totodile and Nathaniel had a Feraligatr. Nathaniel made a note to borrow Selina’s Totodile if his got too rowdy.

“I see we’re locked even closer together now.” Nathaniel said. “With most of our Pokémon having a romantic relationship with one another, we may want to have a mass wedding when the time comes.”

“Maybe.” Selina laughed. “How’d it go with Ethan?”

“He’s still coming with us.” Nathaniel said. “He got an earful from Zoe. The always heartbreaking disappointment from Skip. And close but not quite as bad, a diaper change from Shannon.”

“Ouch!” Selina said sympathetically. “How’s he going to come with us if he’s going to be limping after that?”

“He’s not limping so much as wincing.” Nathaniel said. “I’ll just see if Arcanine will carry him.”

“Of course I will.” Arcanine said coming up to lick him. “I don’t intend to let the little scamp out of my sight. I’m almost tempted to have him on a leash. Now that’s a thought. I’ll let him know that if he wanders off too much I’ll put him on a leash and find a way to fasten it too me.”

“Would you go easy on him?” Nathaniel snapped.

Arcanine recoiled as though she’d been struck. She stared at Nathaniel in disbelief.

“I’m sorry Arcanine.” Nathaniel said. “Some of the irritation hasn’t worn off yet. But I still think Ethan may have received too much punishment. I just want to make sure you don’t go way too hard on him.”

Arcanine licked him. “I could never be mad at you little one. All is forgiven. If you insist I will go easy on him until he acts up again. Then I will administer additional punishment.”

“By all means.” Nathaniel said hugging her. “The journey won’t be as fun for Ethan. But let’s make sure it won’t discourage him from travelling. If he does misbehave then you may administer reasonable punishment. If he gets too bad though you won’t have to worry about him since I’ll send him back.”

They waited a couple more minutes until Ethan got to them. He was still wincing a little and gave a small yelp when Arcanine flipped him onto her back. He was lucky he was padded or Nathaniel suspected it would have hurt much more. He opened another gate and they arrived in Cherrygrove once again.

Chapter 5



The group left Cherrygrove as quickly as they could. Nathaniel hoped to reach Violet City by nightfall, despite the fact that they couldn’t fly due to Ethan not being able to. Arcanine didn’t let Ethan off of her back for one second. Finally, Nathaniel got tired of the slow pace and stopped.



“Would you by any chance be able to hold onto Arcanine if she were to use Extremespeed Ethan?” Nathaniel asked.



“Probably.” Ethan said. “As a squirrel, I need a good grip to be a good treewhiffler. I could probably hold onto her mane while she used Extremespeed.”



“Would you mind using Extremespeed while we fly overhead then Arcanine?” Nathaniel asked. “If we can even get to Violet City by nightfall, I’d be happy.”



“Whatever makes you happy little one.” Arcanine said. “Be warned though youngling. If you pull on my mane too hard you’ll face another punishment. Fall off on purpose and unless you’re injured, you’ll get worse for slowing us down. Is that clear?”



“Yes Arcanine.” Ethan said quickly.



Nathaniel and Selina took off and Arcanine used Extremespeed to run along. Nathaniel and Selina used their respective psionics to keep up with Arcanine and Violet city was in sight shortly. They managed to get to the city a few minutes before sunset and the group went to see if the gym was open. It was and Nathaniel turned to Arcanine and Ethan.



“How’d he do Arcanine?” Nathaniel asked.



“He’s safe for the moment.” Arcanine said.



“Then he can watch our first Johto Gym battle.” Nathaniel said.



“YES!” Ethan shouted excitedly. He grabbed his stomach quickly as it began growling and brought his tail over his eyes in the same way Zoe does when she’s embarrassed. Nathaniel noticed the muscles there twitching in the same way his and Skip’s did as well.



Nathaniel laughed and said, “We’ll eat when we get to the Pokémon Center after the gym battle.”



They walked inside and saw a silver dragon at the end of the gym. The dragon sighed and stood up saying, “And I was just about to close the gym for the night. I’m Falkner, the leader here. Do you mind if we make this quick? I’ve had several battles already today, most of them rematches.”



“Sure.” Nathaniel said. “How’s a double battle sound? You use two and Selina and I use one each.”



“Perfect.” Falkner yawned. “I hope the two of you prove to be better than the rest of the trainers I’ve faced today. Let’s begin!”



Selina and Nathaniel sent out both of their Totodile and Falkner sent out a Pidgeot and Noctowl. Both birds immediately charged with Aerial Ace. Selina’s Totodile jumped in front and used Protect to block both and Nathaniel’s Totodile jumped over Selina’s and used Blizzard. Both of Falkner’s Pokémon were frozen solid and the two water Pokémon used Blizzard several times together. The ice shattered and both bird Pokémon were KO’ed.



“Thanks for making it quick at least.” Falkner said returning his Pokémon. “Lucky break for you on freezing both of my Pokémon. New Pokémon like that usually wouldn’t last long against the two of my experienced birds.”



“I thought this was supposed to be the first gym.” Nathaniel said. “Isn’t it supposed to be easier?”



“Not if you use Pokémon from a previous region.” Falkner said. “I thought the two of you were going to so I sent those two out. Here are your Zephyr Badges by the way.”



As Nathaniel and Selina caught the badges, Totodile began to glow. Nathaniel watched as Totodile evolved and hugged the Pokémon when he was done. Nathaniel made a note to devolve him when he saw the torn diaper beneath him or get him some bigger diapers since Chad was not around to make them change their size.



The group left the gym with Falkner and he locked up for the night. They waved goodbye and walked to the Pokémon center. Arcanine whispered something in Nathaniel’s ear and he rolled his eyes at her request. He nodded anyway and got a room with a request for a particular addition to it. They gave Nathaniel a key and they walked up to their room to see a couple Chansey leaving it as they arrived. When they got in, Ethan’s tail hung limp in dismay at seeing the crib that Arcanine had requested. Dinner for two, plus Pokémon was already set up and Nathaniel sat down with Selina. Ethan was wondering what he was going to eat when Arcanine nudged him towards her exposed belly.



“Do I have to?” Ethan whined.



“Not really.” Arcanine said. “You could always go home instead. For the most part, I will be providing your meals. If Selina and/or Nathaniel find it in their hearts to give you something else, I will not stop them. But they were not prepared to feed you so you will make do with me when they will not provide anything else.”



Ethan whined again and began suckling from Arcanine. Nathaniel and Selina just nodded to each other and cut some of the steak they had on their plates off and set it aside for Ethan. Arcanine took her turn to roll her eyes at that and ate the Pokémon food Anthony brought over to her. Nathaniel walked over to Ethan while he was suckling and checked his diaper as stealthily as he could. Ethan didn’t notice that, or the fact that his diaper was wet. Nathaniel waited for him to finish and then sat him down at the table to the cut up pieces of steak. He changed into a sleeper he had packed and waited for Selina to change as well by facing the opposite wall. Selina smirked at his gallantry since it was unneeded still as she was too young to have anything to show. Then she wondered what was on his mind since it wasn’t really like him to worry about it. Nathaniel could feel her probing his mind and just thought, “Later.” And she stopped. When Ethan had finished his steak, Nathaniel set him in the crib and changed his diaper quickly before helping the now drowsy squirrel/otter into a sleeper. He put up the bars and turned the lights low before getting into bed with Selina.



“What’s wrong?” Selina asked when they knew Ethan was asleep. “You seem troubled.”



“Just a stressful day.” Nathaniel said. “Not at all how I pictured it would go.”



“We’re already dressed for bed so a bath won’t work to relieve some of that stress.” Selina said to Nathaniel’s discomfort. “I have another idea though!”



She walked over to her backpack and got out a bottle and a bag of what looked to be formula. She walked into the bathroom and then came out with a bottle full of the stuff and put the powder away. She climbed back into bed and signaled for Nathaniel to rest in her lap. Nathaniel complied since he was a bit too tired and stressed to argue.



“This is Arcanine’s milk.” Selina said. “I just had some of it dried into powder so it could be used like that if Arcanine was nursing our Pokémon at the time.”



Nathaniel looked at Arcanine at the foot of the bed and saw she was indeed nursing eight Pokémon at the time. Nathaniel accepted the offered bottle and Selina pet his head while humming a soothing tune as he suckled. He felt immediately relaxed and was asleep with half the bottle left. Selina smiled and finished the bottle herself before turning out the light and falling asleep. Arcanine got up when the Pokémon stopped suckling and licked Selina gratefully. Her last thought before sleeping was her own gladness that Nathaniel would be taken care of even when she couldn’t. Her pup had chosen the perfect mate, or perhaps her pup had been chosen by the perfect mate.

Chapter 6



Nathaniel woke up to find his Pokémon already awake. He saw Selina’s Pokémon changing his and he smacked himself in the forehead. He’d forgotten to check his Pokémon last night. Arcanine immediately licked him in the spot he’d hit and Nathaniel relaxed a bit. He got out of bed and walked over to his Pokémon. He stopped Selina’s Pokémon before they tapped his somewhat uncomfortable Pokémon into their new diapers and checked for diaper rash. All three were showing signs of having a rash so he healed them. He noticed that Croconaw’s diaper was going to be a tight fit so he stopped in front of him before he let Totodile finish.



“Would you mind if I do something to you?” Nathaniel asked.



“What is it?” Croconaw asked warily.



“I want to change you back into a Totodile while you are outside of battle.” Nathaniel said. “The moment you enter battle again though, you’ll be a Croconaw again. I want to make sure your diaper will still fit you, and I’d rather not have to let these smaller diapers go to waste.”



Croconaw thought about it for a moment and sighed. “I’ll do it until we run out of that package. But when I’m in my last one, we go and get me bigger ones for my Croconaw form.”



“Fair enough.” Nathaniel said using his power to turn Croconaw back into a Totodile. He stepped aside and let Selina’s Totodile finish with the diaper change before he turned to Anthony, who was being changed by Cubone.



“Why didn’t you tell me I forgot to change everyone?” Nathaniel asked.



“You needed the rest.” Anthony answered. “You probably would have put the diaper on wrong if you did it last night. I checked everyone before you conked out and they would have been fine for the night anyway. When we woke up, I just taught Selina’s Pokémon how to change a diaper and by the looks of it, they’re doing a good job.”



Nathaniel looked and saw that is was a good job for a first try. He made just a few adjustments and they were all set. He got breakfast ready before he woke Selina and then turned to get Ethan up. He lowered the bars and gently shook him. He wasn’t expecting the paw that suddenly socked him on the end of the nose. Nathaniel dropped to the floor clutching his sensitive snout with tears pouring from his eyes. Selina was having a hard time keeping her laughter in and even Arcanine was smirking. Nathaniel looked angrily at them and then at Ethan. Some of his anger evaporated when he saw Ethan had only rolled over in his sleep and ended up getting a lucky shot. Nathaniel looked next to him when he felt something poke him and saw Cubone offering him his club. Nathaniel accepted it gratefully and smiled as he heard Selina and Arcanine gasp as he raised the club high over Ethan. He brought it down and stopped it a fraction of an inch above Ethan’s head before reversing it and gently poking him. Ethan rolled over again; hitting the club upward this time, so Nathaniel poked him again and this time Ethan groaned and woke up. He looked at Nathaniel and laughed at his swollen nose.



“I did that, didn’t I?” He asked.



“You sure did.” Nathaniel said irritably. “I’m going to guess that this has happened before to someone else.”



“I almost did it to Skip.” Ethan laughed. “He knew it was coming though. He said Zoe’s done it to him before. When they were kids.”



Nathaniel smiled at that and his frustration evaporated. He could just picture Zoe bopping Skip in the nose and flooring him and had to laugh. He picked Ethan up and set him on the changing table. Nathaniel could tell by the bulge that he wasn’t going to like this one and blocked his nostrils with a bit of negative energy. He made the change as quick as possible for everyone else and threw the messy diaper away. Nathaniel was glad that water resistant fur was easier to clean and had Ethan in a fresh diaper in under two minutes. It helped that he didn’t need nearly as much protection against diaper rash as Selina did. He took care of Selina next and as thanks for the previous night, gave Selina an oil massage. Ethan turned away jealously only to be scooped up by Arcanine for a forced breakfast. When Nathaniel finished with Selina she made quick work of diapering him and they sat down for their own breakfast since the Pokémon had finished without them. When they’d finished, they packed everything and called back the starters. Anthony hopped onto Nathaniel’s shoulder and Cubone sat behind Selina’s head before they left the room and the Pokémon Center.



When they got outside, Arcanine jumped in front of Ethan and kneeled down. Ethan got the message and wisely climbed on. Arcanine stood up and looked over her shoulder at him before giving him a lick and the group took off. When they got out of the city they had to make a decision.



“Should we head straight for Azalea, or should we check out the Ruins of Alph?” Nathaniel asked.



“I vote the ruins of Alph!” Ethan said excitedly.



“You’re not old enough to vote.” Arcanine said.



“I am though.” Selina said. “I say we should as well. I’d like to check out the inside of them.”



“Fine by me.” Nathaniel said changing his opinion immediately. “I’ll look around for a few Pokémon on the outside. Keep an eye on Ethan for me Arcanine. And Ethan?”



“Yes Nathaniel?” Ethan asked.



“If you go inside the ruins, make sure you have Linoone out to defend you as well as Arcanine.” Nathaniel said.



Ethan nodded excitedly and the group went to the ruins. Ethan excitedly jumped off of Arcanine and grabbed hold of some of her fur and pointed to one of the chambers. Arcanine looked at Nathaniel and he nodded so Arcanine went with Ethan. Selina gave Nathaniel a peck on the cheek before heading into the main ruins. Nathaniel flew around the ruins to a patch of grass and walked around looking for a specific Pokémon.



“So what are you looking for here?” Anthony asked.



Nathaniel smirked and used his Aura Sight to locate one. He found it and gated right in front of it. The Smeargle fell flat on its tail and then leaped up ready to fight. Anthony was about to jump forward but Nathaniel stopped him.



“I don’t want this one KO’ed.” Nathaniel said. “Don’t attack, just dodge and defend. I want to see what this one knows exactly.”



Anthony nodded and then jumped forward to fight. Smeargle leveled his tail at Anthony and waited. Anthony smirked and decided to launch an attack anyway, hoping to draw Smeargle into the fight. Anthony opened his mouth and fired off Shadow Ball. Smeargle disappeared before the attack could hit and Nathaniel wondered if Smeargle teleported. Smeargle suddenly reappeared and slammed into Anthony, knocking him back a few feet. Nathaniel saw Anthony didn’t have any damage on him and recognized the attack Shadow Force! Anthony fired Shadow Ball again and Smeargle was hit. His tail began to glow pink and he slashed it vertically at Anthony and the attack Spacial Rend hit Anthony hard. Anthony used Protect to block the next dragon attack that hit him, Roar of Time. Nathaniel wondered how Smeargle learned all of these attacks and was sure he would capture it. Anthony used Morning Sun and then used Sand Attack. The Sand Attack lowered Smeargle’s accuracy enough to make the next attack miss. Nathaniel watched in shock as Smeargle used the attack Judgment! Nathaniel had seen enough and pulled out one of the Master Balls he had and threw it at Smeargle. It didn’t even see the ball as it hit and was captured with only a few shakes from the Master Ball. Anthony picked up the Master Ball, handed it to Nathaniel, and joined him in a cheesy victory pose. Nathaniel flinched suddenly when he heard a small explosion and decided to go and see what Ethan was up to.


Chapter 7



When he got to the ruins, he saw Arcanine limping out of the ruins carrying Ethan by the scruff of the neck with Linoone draped over her back. Selina came out behind him and sat down with a groan. Nathaniel ran up to them and looked them over for injuries.



“What happened to you guys?” Nathaniel asked worriedly.



“An enormous group of Unown attacked.” Arcanine panted. “Linoone took a chance and used assist hoping to pick up on one of our attacks. He picked up on Metronome somehow and used Explosion and while he did KO the Unown, he caught Ethan in the blast along with me.”







“Who knows Metronome?” Nathaniel asked as he healed the trio. “I thought we left everyone home who did.”



“I may have picked it up.” Anthony said.



“You know Metronome?” Nathaniel asked.



“Pikachu, the Mews and Mewtwos helped me learn it.” Anthony proudly proclaimed. “I’ve even learned how to do something with Metronome. I can control the attack somewhat!”



“What do you mean somewhat?” Nathaniel queried finishing up.



“If it’s an attack that won’t target the opposing Pokémon at all, then I can choose that attack with 100% accuracy.” Anthony explained. “If it’s a non-damaging attack that does target the opposing Pokémon, then I have 80% accuracy. The other 20% is divided into 15% of the time using an attack that still won’t damage the opposing Pokémon while targeting it, and the last 5% resulting in another attack entirely. If I’m trying to damage an opposing Pokémon, then I have 50% accuracy. Another 30% results in an attack that is somehow similar, then another 10% in another damaging attack. The last ten percent is divided evenly with 5% being another attack entirely, or I end up using Self Destruct, Explosion, or Perish Song.”



“Pretty cool Anthony!” Nathaniel exclaimed. “Two questions now. Are we all set to go and does anyone need a change?”



“I can leave now.” Selina sighed. “My diaper can wait until we get to the Pokémon Center before Union Cave.”



“I’m good as well!” Anthony yipped excitedly.



“I could… use a change.” Ethan grunted. Arcanine wrinkled her nose and dropped Ethan with a funny gagging noise. Ethan laughed out loud and jumped behind Nathaniel when Arcanine swiped at him with her paw. Nathaniel could tell Arcanine was just joking with him but nevertheless, picked Ethan up and gated to the tall grass for a change. He had Ethan cleaned and then melted down the used diaper with some of his acid before he slipped a new one on him. He gated back to the group and remembered something about the ruins.



“I just remembered a shortcut we could take!” Nathaniel exclaimed. “There’s an entrance to the lower levels of Union Cave from here. We could go through them instead of going through the route down to it.”



“I’m willing to give it a shot.” Selina said. “Let’s do it!”



The group went to where Nathaniel remembered the entrance from the games was and searched the area. Ethan ended up startling a Natu and before Arcanine could use Roar to scare it away, Ethan stopped her.



“Let me battle this one!” Ethan begged. Arcanine reluctantly nodded and Ethan sent Linoone forward. Natu started with Peck. Linoone just looked at it after the attack hit. Linoone rolled his eyes as if to say, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” And used Thunderbolt on the much lower level Pokémon. Ethan hugged Linoone as the Natu teleported away and called him back.



“What a rush!” Ethan shouted. “Battles sure are fun!”



“That one looked rather boring to me.” Nathaniel sighed. “Way too easy. One shot battles just end too quickly. You probably won’t get a challenge in battle with Linoone unless you battle another trainer.”



Ethan thought for a moment and nodded. The group continued searching until they found the entrance they’d been looking for. They walked inside and found the cave to be too dark inside to se properly. Nathaniel could see fine with his Aura Sight but the rest were in trouble. Nathaniel thought for a moment and decided to see if he could replicate Flash somehow. He first tried a burst of flames. It worked to a point but didn’t last long enough anyway. He fired a bolt of lightning at the ceiling but the electricity that arched across the ceiling (KO’ing several Zubat in the process) didn’t stay still long enough. Nathaniel then tried to use the energy projection. He found he could make a steady glow around his hand and could use it as a very effective torch. Now that they were set, they walked towards a ladder that one of the bolts of electricity revealed. Nathaniel made a sweep of the area with his Aura Sight just in case they missed something of interest and found a Pokémon he wasn’t expecting to see.



“You guys wait here.” Nathaniel said. “I’m going to go after something over this way.”



“Is there any way you can leave the light?” Selina asked.



Nathaniel looked around and picked up a rock. He tried to charge some of his energy into it but the rock exploded instead. He was watching with his Aura Sight and saw that the rock wasn’t made of a material that could hold the energy. That was when he remembered the crystal on his sword. It could hold energy so he looked around for some kind of gem, or at least quartz. He found a piece and charged energy into it.



“This should give you a couple minutes.” Nathaniel said. “That’s all I’ll need.”



Selina nodded and Nathaniel headed for a pond. He waded into the water and began swimming silently towards the Pokémon he saw floating in the water. When he reached the Pokémon, he was glad to find it still asleep. He gently tapped it with one of the Master Balls he had and caught t immediately. Smiling at his success, Nathaniel gated back to the group and left the cave with them.

Chapter 9



“Did you find all you were looking for?” Selina asked Nathaniel as they walked down to the next city.



“Yes I did.” Nathaniel said proudly. “Caught them too!”



“So what did you catch?” Ethan asked.



“You’ll probably find out at the next gym.” Nathaniel replied. “If I don’t use them both in the gym, I’ll show you what I caught afterward.”



Ethan rolled his eyes and shook his head. They eventually reached Azalea Town. After a quick heal at the Pokémon Center, they went straight for the gym. Inside they found a forest themed interior and no gym leader in sight. It wasn’t until Nathaniel used his Aura Sight that he could see why.



“You must be the gym leader of the Azalea Gym.” Nathaniel said looking straight at the hiding leader. “I’m Nathaniel, and this is Selina. We’ve come to challenge you.”



“How in the world did you know I was hiding there?” a chameleon asked stepping out from in front of a tree.



“You can camouflage your scales, but not your Aura.” Nathaniel replied. “I must say it’s kind of weird if you are Bugsy.”



“Why is that?” Bugsy asked cocking his head to one side.



“Don’t Chameleons eat bugs?” Nathaniel asked. “I guess the furrs don’t, but the animal does.”



“I always found that funny.” Bugsy laughed. “I had the hardest time getting some of my Pokémon to trust me, let alone like me. Most of them were afraid I was going to eat them.”



“Do chameleon furrs still have the long sticky tongues?” Ethan asked. He gulped and said, “I guess so!” when Bugsy snapped his tongue right next to Ethan’s ear.



“So let’s get this started.” Bugsy laughed. “Which of you is going to battle me first?”



“Ladies first Selina.” Nathaniel said bowing. Selina chuckled and sent out Cubone. Bugsy at the same time sent out a Forretress. Cubone immediately threw Bonemerang at Forretress and rushed forward with Double-Edge at the same time. He caught his club before hitting and after slamming into Forretress with Double-Edge, attacked with Bone Rush and finished with a Bone Club on the back swing. Forretress looked as though he hadn’t even been hit at all until his eyes widened once and he fell. Bugsy stood there as if thunderstruck. He called back Forretress and tossed Selina her badge.



“Do you mind if we make this one three-on-three?” Bugsy asked when he could speak again. “That one was kind of short lived.”



“Sure!” Nathaniel chuckled. “Show me what you got!”



Bugsy threw a pokeball and out came a Metapod. Nathaniel threw his and out came his Cyndaquil. Both Pokémon ran forward and used Tackle. The two repeatedly used the attack and were evenly matched until Cyndaquil ended the fight with Blast Burn. Bugsy called back Metapod and sent Kakuna out. Kakuna hit the recharging Cyndaquil once with Poison Sting and the Fire Pokémon fell. Nathaniel healed Cyndaquil and set him aside before sending out the Pokémon he caught in Union Cave. Despite the fact that it wouldn’t be able to move much on land, Nathaniel was confident his new Lapras would do well. Kakuna tried Poison Sting again, only for it to be literally blown back with Blizzard. Kakuna froze solid and Lapras hit it with Hydro Pump. The Kakuna fell and Nathaniel hugged his big Pokémon to show his gratitude while Bugsy called back Kakuna. Bugsy smirked and sent out Scizor next. Lapras let out an unearthly cry on seeing Scizor before being hit by a powerful Silver Wind. Scizor hit Lapras again with Metal Claw and Lapras retaliated by trying to hit Scizor with Sheer Cold. The attack missed and Scizor hit Lapras again with Silver Wind. Lapras smirked once before fainting and Scizor smirked right back. The smirk disappeared in a flash when Scizor stiffened suddenly and then fell himself.



“I guess that means I win.” Nathaniel stated.



“What just happened?” Bugsy asked.



“I’d have to say Lapras used Perish Song and the attack KO’ed them both.” Ethan said from Arcanine’s back.



“And since Nathaniel still has another Pokémon in reserve, he wins.” Selina said hugging him.



Bugsy laughed and tossed Nathaniel the Hive Badge. The group said goodbye and walked outside. Right in front of the doors they cheered and raised their badges to the sky.



Chapter 10



“So now we head through the Ilex Forrest right?” Ethan inquired.



“That’s the idea but we should stop at the Pokémon center first.” Nathaniel answered. “I need to heal Cyndaquil and Lapras before we head through.”



“Plus I’m sure you could use a change by now.” Selina teased.



“I could say the same about you I’m sure.” Nathaniel retorted. “You said you could use a change when we got to the Pokémon Center before Union Cave when we thought of going that way. It’s been much longer than that! We should probably just stay the night since it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to go through that already dark forest at night. I’m not sure we can cross it in time.”



“Why do we even need to walk through it?” Ethan asked. “Couldn’t we just fly over it?”



“Arcanine would probably prefer to keep her eyes on you at all times.” Nathaniel said. “Plus there’s something in the forest I want to see anyway.”



They walked over to the Pokémon Center and got a room while Lapras and Cyndaquil were healed. Nathaniel went up to the room when he got his Pokémon back and saw Selina changing Ethan, to his obvious discomfort. Nathaniel laughed and let the starters out of their pokeballs. He went over to the window and let Lapras out into the pond behind the Pokémon Center. He turned back around again and checked each of his starters. Only Cyndaquil was in need of a change. Nathaniel had no sooner set him on the table and opened his diaper that Cyndaquil began glowing. Lying cutely on his back was now a Quilava. Nathaniel, despite the smile on his face, shook his head in slight annoyance.



“I know you must be excited to have evolved Quilava, but I’m going to change you back into a Cyndaquil until we run out of diapers for you, okay?”



Quilava nodded happily and Nathaniel changed him back into a Cyndaquil and rediapered him. Then he turned to the group and held up the Master Ball containing Smeargle.



“It’s time to introduce the third Pokémon I would have used in my battle against Bugsy.” Nathaniel announced. “Everyone, say hello to Smeargle.”



Smeargle appeared from the Master Ball and was immediately swarmed by the starters all trying to say hello at once. Smeargle just stood there very confused and a little frightened. Nathaniel called them off and picked Smeargle up and held him closely. Smeargle calmed a bit but still looked confused.



“Sorry about that Smeargle.” Nathaniel laughed. “I should have thought that one through a bit more. I just thought everyone would like to meet you. I didn’t think about if you wanted to meet everyone. We’re all really happy to welcome you to the family though.”



“Family?” Smeargle asked. Nathaniel was surprised to hear how young it sounded.



“Or team if you prefer that term more Smeargle.” Nathaniel said.



“No, family is fine.” Smeargle said. “It’s just this wasn’t what I expected when someone finally decided to capture me. I guess I really never knew what to expect. Trainers kept on using Legendary Pokémon against me and knocking me out.”



“That explains how you know all of those attacks.” Nathaniel said.



“I kept using Sketch whenever I could on them and learned their attacks.” Smeargle said proudly. “Could you put me down now? This feels kind of weird to be held by someone not much taller than me. I’m just an inch short of four feet and closing in on 130 pounds.”



“Okay then.” Nathaniel laughed as he set Smeargle down. “You have to admit how secure that felt though.”



“Yes, it did make me feel rather secure and safe.” Smeargle said without thinking.



“You want to know what else can make you feel that way?” Ethan asked slyly.



“No I do not want to wear diapers.” Smeargle said.



“How’d you know I was going to say that?” Ethan asked.



“Because nearly everyone in here is in diapers.” Smeargle answered. “And a few are in need of a change.”



Nathaniel laughed at that little exchange and made sure everyone got a fresh diaper. He took his Pokémon down to meet Lapras but found he was sleeping so they left him alone. They spent the rest of the day in their room while Smeargle entertained some of them by using their diapers as canvases. Then the group made sure they got a good sleep that night.






Nathaniel didn’t remember the strange dream he had last night. All he felt was a headache that quickly vanished after he was kissed good morning by two girls. It felt as though he’d watched a movie on fast forward, or he’d tried cramming a few months of memory into a few hours of sleep. He opened the window and waved to Lapras out in the pond before calling him back into his pokeball. He then woke the rest of the group up and after diaper changes and breakfast; they left the Pokémon Center and headed for the Ilex Forrest.



“So what are we looking for in here?” Ethan asked.



“We are looking for a big white rock or some kind of shrine.” Nathaniel answered.



Ethan slumped over for a moment and then sat back up saying, “Found it! It’s over that way!” Ethan led the way and sure enough, they found the white rock next to a shrine. Nathaniel helped Ethan off of Arcanine and made him wait by Selina.



“Close your eyes Ethan.” Nathaniel warned.



Ethan did and opened his eyes back up when the bright light he saw the flash from behind his eyelids fade. What he saw was a Celebi swinging its little feet against the rock, just sitting there looking at Nathaniel. Then he heard a voice that whispered through the leaves that sounded old and young at the same time.



“You have summoned my offspring Nathaniel. Prove yourself through battle and claim him as your own.”



Nathaniel sent Arcanine forward and the battle began. Celebi used an Ancient Power that was dodged and countered by Fire Fang. Arcanine still had a hold of Celebi as he used Recover and bit down with Crunch. Celebi screeched and hit Arcanine point blank with Magical Leaf. Arcanine let go of Celebi and then rushed forward using Extremespeed. Celebi retaliated with Ancient Power and then Confusion. Arcanine shook her head clear and let loose Overheat. The attack hit Celebi and he just floated there staring blankly. Celebi then disappeared and Nathaniel’s bracer beeped, “Celebi successfully captured.”



“Way to go Arcanine!” Nathaniel cried hugging her. Arcanine responded by licking her pup and increased when he healed her as he continued to hug her and bury his face in her mane. Nathaniel decided to do something special and used his strength to gently lower her onto the ground and proceeded to massage her paws. He was glad he did because they looked in to be in need of it. The pads were looking just a bit raw but went back to normal as Nathaniel pulsed positive energy through them. Nathaniel didn’t stop there and added a positive energy belly rub to it. When he stopped, Arcanine rolled over quickly and shook herself as if she’d just come out of a pool of water, and looked gratefully at her pup. She then pounced him and licked him as much as she could. Nathaniel giggled and laughed the whole time and resigned himself to her thanks. He was breathless when she stopped and couldn’t get up, so Selina and Ethan helped roll him onto Arcanine’s back and then Ethan hopped on to keep his brother steady while they continued through the forest.

Chapter 11



Nathaniel could finally move again when they got out of the forest, but Arcanine still didn’t let him off.



“You should still rest.” Arcanine chuckled. “You can move your upper body but your legs are probably still wobbly.”



“Plus you just like carrying me.” Nathaniel said smoothly.



“Plus I just like carrying … HEY!” Arcanine barked. “How you get me to admit things like that, I’ll never know.”



“You’ll never know but you’ve managed to do it before.” Nathaniel laughed.



“Oh really!” Arcanine said. “Name one time.”



“Name one time I’ve done it to you before this one and I’ll name one for you.” Nathaniel retorted.



Arcanine rolled her eyes. She knew he was right that they’d done it to each other and probably the entire family had done it to each other on a regular basis. They continued down the path and stopped at a building along the way. Walking in they saw an elderly couple of Rabbits that smiled at them as they walked in.



“Welcome to the Johto Day Care.” The female said. “Do either of you trainers have any Pokémon in need of our services?”



“Actually I might.” Nathaniel said. “I’m just not sure how often I’m going to use my Lapras and I don’t know when I’ll be visiting home next to drop him off there. Can you take charge of him for me?”



“Of course my boy!” the male boomed with a chuckle. “We could take care of a Wailord if you needed us to. I’ve got just one question for the pretty miss beside you though.”



“What would that be kind sir?” Selina asked blushing.



“I wonder if you could take an egg off of our hands?” the man asked. “A trainer didn’t want it and we’d be grateful if a kind looking trainer such as yourself would take it.”



“Of course!” Selina said. “I’d love to.”



Nathaniel handed over his Lapras and said goodbye as the old man gave Selina her new Pokémon egg. They waved goodbye to the old couple and rushed to Goldenrod City. There they saw the department store of Johto. Nathaniel took a stop in the Pokémon Center to heal Arcanine before the group turned their attention to the gym. Walking inside, they found a snow white rabbit waiting for them.



“Hiya! I’m Whitney, the leader of the Goldenrod Gym.” She said. “I’m ready to battle if you’re ready to challenge me. I’ll even take you both on at once!”



“Fine by me!” Nathaniel exclaimed. “I, Sir Nathaniel of Pallet Town and Lady Selina of the same, do hereby submit our official challenge to you, Whitney, Leader of the Goldenrod Gym for the Plain Badge.”



“SO BE IT!” Whitney yelled as she threw two pokeballs. “MILTANK, CLEFABLE, YOU’RE UP!”



Nathaniel threw out his Chikorita in response. Selina sent out her Cubone instead and the battle began. Miltank rushed forward with Rollout while Cubone blocked the attack with Double-Edge. Clefable used Metronome and ended up using Thunder, which was drawn harmlessly into Cubone due to his Lightningrod ability. Chikorita used Razor Leaf and hit both opposing Pokémon. Cubone then hit Miltank with Double-Edge, and Chikorita was hit by Miltank’s Attract. Clefable tried Metronome again and used Splash. Chikorita moved despite the attracted status and hit Miltank with Frenzy Plant. Miltank collapsed and Clefable hit Chikorita with Meteor Mash. Cubone then used Bonemerang and hit Clefable hard both times. Chikorita finished the battle by using Tackle and began to glow. Nathaniel smacked his forehead again despite his happiness over having his last starter evolve because like the rest of them, their diapers wouldn’t fit their new forms. Nathaniel turned his new Bayleef into a Chikorita again and got a new diaper on him before accepting the plain badge from Whitney. The group then walked outside and did a cheesy victory pose with their third Johto badge.


Chapter 12



“Well that was quick.” Nathaniel said as they left Goldenrod.



“I know!” Ethan said excitedly as ever. “That couldn’t have taken more than a couple hours to get from Azalea, catch a legendary, and get your third badge.”



“Sometimes I feel like we’re in some poorly written story.” Selina sighed.



“Let’s hope the feeling passes.” Anthony said from Nathaniel’s shoulder. “I’m too amazing to be in a bad story.”



“Amazingly cute.” Selina laughed. Everyone joined in laughing as Anthony made himself even cuter by growling. “Growling just makes you cuter Anthony. If I remember correctly, it’s actually a cute move for contests in the video games.”



Anthony stopped growling and was silent the rest of the way out of the city. They took a detour on their way to Ecruteak to a park that usually held a Bug Catching Contest. When they got there, they found a frustrated looking liger outside the entrance.



“Did we miss the contest?” Nathaniel asked as he walked up to him.



“Sure did.” The liger said. “I’ve entered that contest several times and lost again today. I’ve been trying to win a Moonstone to evolve my starter. The only problem is that the Moonstone is one of the two possible prizes for first place and I just can’t seem to catch the right bug.”



“So who did you loose too?” Nathaniel asked.



“A guy named Sai and his Pikachu Hiroki.” The liger answered.



“Maybe you can find him and ask if he really needs that Moonstone.” Nathaniel suggested. “If he doesn’t, maybe he’ll be willing to part with it.”



“Maybe.” The liger sighed. “I just need to find him and I’m not sure how to do that.”



“I’ll help you.” Nathaniel said. “It won’t be too hard if he’s not too far away already.”



“You will!” the liger shouted excitedly. “Thank you! My name’s Brandon.”



“I’m Nathaniel.” Nathaniel said shaking his paw. “This is my buddy Anthony, my brother Ethan, and my friends Arcanine and Selina.”



“Nice to meet you all.” Brandon said.



“Okay then.” Nathaniel said. “If the two of you would help as well, we can get this done quickly. Ethan, try to focus and find this Sai with your Astral Projection. Selina, fly and teleport around and see if you can spot someone with a Pikachu. I’ll scan the area with my Aura Sight. What does Sai look like anyway?”



“He’s a fox furr with a bunch of weird markings on him.” Brandon replied. “He’s not that hard to miss, especially with his black wings and his two swords.”



“Got him!” Ethan said excitedly. “He’s not far from Ecruteak City. There’s an intersection in the path and he’s battling a Sudowoodo there with a Glameow.”



“I know the spot.” Nathaniel said. “I’ll go ask him to wait for you Brandon. You can meet up with us there.”



Brandon nodded and Nathaniel gated to the area and watched the ensuing battle. The Sudowoodo was looking like it had already had it but wasn’t giving up. The Pokémon battling it looked like it had hardly taken any damage at all. It was a Glameow that apparently liked Ghost attacks as it kept using either Shadow Claw or Shadow Ball. Finally the Sudowoodo had enough and ran straight for Nathaniel. A Pokeball came flying through the air and hit Sudowoodo just before it ran into Nathaniel. Selina teleported to the Pokeball and picked up her new Pokémon.



“Sorry for capturing him when you were the one who battled him Sai.” Selina called. “Had to save my boyfriend from being trampled.”



“No problem.” Sai said walking up to them. “I have an awesome team anyway.”



Nathaniel looked Sai up and down. He was a fiery orange fox furr and he was clearly an angelic with his black wings just as Brandon had said. He had an interesting necklace with a shuriken shaped diamond with a Pokeball held in the center. He also had a few cream colored crescent moons on his paws, ears and forehead. He had a Pikachu perched on his shoulder as well with the same cream colored moon on the belly. Judging by her tail, the Pikachu was a female. When Nathaniel checked him with his Aura Sight, he saw yet another furr with all three aspects of the angelics.



“So how did you know my name anyway?” Sai asked.



“We were looking for you because a liger named Brandon was looking for you.” Nathaniel answered.



“So why didn’t you call out to me from those bushes when you got there through whatever you call that portal?” Sai asked.



“I was just interested in your battle.” Nathaniel answered. “I may have to battle you some time.”



“I’ll look forward to that.” Sai said laughing. “So why is Brandon looking for me?”



“Because I wanted to ask if you really needed that Moonstone you won in the bug catching contest.” Brandon replied. “I wanted to evolve my starter with it.”



“What was your starter?” Sai asked.



“It’s a Skitty.” Brandon said sheepishly.



“What’s wrong with a Skitty?” Ethan asked.



“Nothing, it’s just not the Pokémon I was expecting.” Brandon answered. “It’s not often that a boy gets a Skitty as a starter. I was actually expecting more along the lines of a Shinx.”



“I’ll tell you what.” Sai said. “If you team up with me against these two, I’ll give you the Moon Stone no matter if we win or not. How about that?”



“If they’re up for it, so am I!” Brandon said excitedly.



“How about we each use three Pokémon?” Nathaniel asked. “That way it’s closer to a full double battle and none of us will lose all of our Pokémon.”



“Agreed!” Selina, Sai and Brandon said as they walked to separate sides of the field.



Ethan stepped to the side and center of the field and raised one paw up in the air. He then let it down in a chopping motion and four Pokeballs flew through the air. Nathaniel’s Smeargle and Selina’s Cyndaquil came out. Sai called out a Combusken named Blaze while Brandon sent out a Raikou. Raikou immediately rushed Smeargle using Crunch. Smeargle disappeared before the attack could hit and Raikou was hit hard with a Flamethrower from Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil was hit in return by Sky Uppercut from Blaze. Blaze was then hit from behind by Smeargle’s Shadow Force. Raikou swung around when he saw Smeargle appear and used Thunder. The attack missed and Raikou was hit again this time by Lava Plume. Smeargle was unfortunately hit by the attack as well and received a burn while Blaze stood strong from the attack. Smeargle attacked Blaze again with Roar of Time and KO’ed the Fire Pokémon with a critical hit. Smeargle was then hit finally by Thunder and Raikou was hit by Swift. Smeargle fell from the burn damage and then Raikou attacked Cyndaquil with Crunch. Cyndaquil launched another attack and defeated Raikou with Flamethrower.



Sai then called out a Buizel named Krystalis, who was sporting a red beret and sunglasses, while Brandon sent out a Suicune. Nathaniel sent out Celebi and Selina replaced Cyndaquil with Chikorita. Chikorita was KO’ed on the spot with a combined Aqua Jet and Blizzard. Celebi used Recover to heal from the Blizzard and was almost hit by Krystalis’s Iron Tail. Suicune also missed with the second Blizzard and was hit by Magical Leaf in response. Suicune then used Rain Dance, only to be KO’ed by the second Magical Leaf. Nathaniel was wondering why Krystalis hadn’t attacked when Celebi was hit by Razor Wind. Celebi used Recover again and was hit by a more powerful Aqua Jet. Celebi then used a very powerful Grass attack that Nathaniel wasn’t expecting, Leaf Storm. The attack hit and Krystalis almost went down. Krystalis used Agility and dodged the second Leaf Storm with a speed that amazed Nathaniel until he remembered Swift Swim. Celebi launched one last attack and then kept using Protect. Nathaniel wasn’t sure what the attack was until he saw both Celebi and Krystalis fall to the Perish Song. All of the Pokémon were called back and one last round began.



Arcanine came out for Nathaniel while Selina sent out Cubone. Sai sent out the Pikachu perched on his shoulder, whose name was Hiroki, and Brandon sent out Entei. Arcanine started the battle with Sunny Day and Hiroki used Lock-On for some odd reason. Entei fired off a Flamethrower that was blocked by Cubone’s Protect. Arcanine used Extremespeed on Hiroki and received a Zap Cannon in return. Entei used a Fire Blast that Cubone tried to block with Double-Edge before being blasted backwards by the attack. Cubone then got right back up and used a Bonemerang that got two critical hits. Hiroki almost KO’ed Arcanine with Volt Tackle while suffering a hit from Overheat. Hiroki saw that Entei was about to fall and used Lunar Dance to heal him. Entei saw Hiroki fall from the side effect of Lunar Dance and used Lava Plume, KO’ing both Cubone and Arcanine, and ending the battle with a tie.



“That was an awesome battle guys.” Nathaniel said as he shook hands with both Sai and Brandon. “Hiroki knows some impressive attacks!”



“Your Smeargle’s pretty impressive too.” Sai said smiling.



Nathaniel smelled something on the air suddenly and looked at Ethan.



“I didn’t do anything!” Ethan said quickly. A quick check from Nathaniel’s Aura Sight revealed that Ethan was telling the truth, and the fact that Brandon was diapered.



“Not to embarrass you or anything Brandon but do you need some help?” Nathaniel asked.



“What do you mean?” Brandon asked nervously.



“I kind of saw something about you that apparently you’re nervous about.” Nathaniel said sheepishly.



“He wears diapers, doesn’t he?” Sai asked laughing. “Don’t worry about it buddy. I find that to be pretty cute actually. I’ve changed enough diapers know a messy one. I’ll help you if you want me too.”



“O-o-okay.” Brandon stuttered while nervously smiling. “I usually find messy ones hard to handle on my own anyway.”



“Why don’t you just stick with me?” Sai asked. “We could travel together and I’ll help you out whenever you want.”



“OKAY!” Brandon cried excitedly. “Could I get a weapon though? Those blades look pretty cool!”



“I can help you guys with that.” Nathaniel said. “How about you guys just take a break from training for a bit and come meet my family? There’s an awesome blacksmith at my house who could probably hook you up with the perfect weapon. We can get you changed there too Brandon. What do you guys say?”



“Sounds like a plan to me!” Sai said. “What do you think little buddy?”



“Okay!” Brandon said.



Nathaniel smiled and opened a gate for them. They all walked through and came out in the cavern.

Chapter 13

“WOW!” was all Sai and Brandon said when they saw the cavern.

“This place is actually beneath my house.” Nathaniel laughed as he let out all of his pokemon. Sai’s eyes widened with excitement when he saw the diapered starters. Nathaniel made a quick transfer with his bracer and sent his Lapras out into the water. Lapras immediately dove beneath the water and Nathaniel could see him frisking about happily. Sai was nearly bouncing when he saw all of Nathaniel’s other pokemon coming and Nathaniel could see he was mainly looking at Nathaniel and Selina’s diapered pokemon. Nathaniel noticed Ethan had disappeared and Arcanine tilted her head towards the stairs.

“If you’d like to get changed Brandon, you and Sai can follow me upstairs. You can go ahead and leave your pokemon here if you like.”

Brandon nodded and let out his six pokemon. Nathaniel wasn’t surprised to see that one of Brandon’s other pokemon was a Luxray. But he was surprised to see that another one was a Houndoom. Nathaniel was expecting another feline. Sai then sent out his pokemon as well. In addition to Hiroki, Blaze, and Krystalis, Nathaniel also saw the Glameow from earlier named Mirushi, who was wearing a black collar with a white bow. There was also a black Leafeon with green paws and leaves named Bri. Finally was a Buneary that Nathaniel found to be the most abnormal looking one of the bunch. It was fiery orange in color with light orange fluff and was wearing a diaper while sucking on a pink pacifier. Sai introduced the Buneary, who looked about ready to bounce off of the ceiling with pent up energy as Daisy. When Sai was done introducing her, Daisy bounded off excitedly to explore the cavern. Sai left Hiroki in charge and then went with Nathaniel, Selina, and Brandon up the stairs. He and Brandon stopped in shock when they saw Nathaniel’s room. The swords and other medieval regalia that hung from the walls barely registered to the two main pieces of furniture in the room, the changing table and the crib.

“The floor’s never been swept so I’d recommend you get your jaw off the floor.” Nathaniel laughed. “As friends I believe I can trust you. Like most chimeras, I have a bladder defect that forces me to need diapers. Hence the changing table. The crib I keep because sometimes I actually like to use it as a crib or may even need it if I have some of my pokemon sleeping in my bed with me. Or Selina since she tosses in her sleep almost as much as she snores.”

“I do not!” Selina shouted.

“How would you know?” Nathaniel asked laughing. “You’re never awake to hear or see yourself.”

“But you are sometimes.” Selina said smirking.

“Darn!” Nathaniel laughed. “You caught me on that.”

“Could someone tell me what’s going on?” Brandon asked.

“Selina has a psionic ability to read memories.” Nathaniel said. “It’s just one of a few she has. I have a lot more and Sai is a psionic apparently. I wonder if you have any of the angelic aspects to you.”

Nathaniel looked as Brandon said, “Not that I know of.” And saw that Brandon did indeed have one aspect of the angelics at least. If he had any others, they were overshadowed by his inner light. It was almost as bright as Nathaniel’s own! Brandon would indeed be a powerful force for good with his light to guide him.

“WOW!” Nathaniel said. He told Brandon what he saw and then he left the room for Sai to finally change him. Nathaniel walked in a couple minutes later and saw that Sai had actually sent Brandon off to dreamland somehow. He was sleeping in Nathaniel’s crib in just a diaper and Nathaniel also saw something unfamiliar in the house, a pacifier in between Brandon’s lips.

“That’s one of my psionics.” Sai said. “I can make a pacifier of energy and keep it stuck in someone. Brandon here conked right out when after sucking on it for a minute. I hope you don’t mind that I set the cutie in your crib.”

“No worries Sai.” Nathaniel said. “Let’s at least get you acquainted with my family. Brandon will be fine down here on his own while he takes a cat nap.”

Sai laughed and followed Nathaniel and Selina up the stairs to the playroom. Sai began looking really excited when he saw it and Nathaniel thought he was going to get whiplash as fast as his head was moving to look around. Nathaniel had to take him by the hand to lead him upstairs or he probably would have stayed downstairs for a lot longer. When Nathaniel got into the living room, he would have fallen back down the stairs if he hadn’t gated to the couch when a large, flying, and scaly projectile slammed into him. When Nathaniel could breathe again he hugged the dragon that had flown into him.

“Nice to see you again too Chad!” Nathaniel laughed. “Now would you let me up? We have guests.”

“Okay Nathaniel.” Chad laughed.

Nathaniel got up and introduced Sai and Chad. Nathaniel could tell by the look in their eyes that the two were friends all ready. Nathaniel looked around expecting seven diapered projectiles to hit him too but could find anyone else in the house even with his Aura Sight.

“Where is everyone Chad?” Nathaniel asked. “And where did Ethan go?”

“I teleported him to everyone else.” Chad said. “They all went on invitation to Poketopia. Daddy is house sitting and I arrived just yesterday. Skip said he’d come home tonight though if you’re still here. How’s the Johto journey coming along?”

“Three badges and a legendary already.” Nathaniel said smiling. “How’s Hoen?”

“I’ve already gotten seven badges and two of the pokemon I was after.” Chad said. “I was just about to go down to the cavern to let them out for some exercise.”

“Since nobody else is here there’s not much else to do I guess.” Nathaniel said. “Let’s go check out your new pokemon and I’ll introduce you to mine.”

Nathaniel just gated all of them down to the cavern and Chad first sent out his six pokemon that Nathaniel recognized. Gyarados, Dragonite, Salamence, Flygon, Garchomp and his diapered Charizard. Chad then sent out an Altaria and then the legendary pokemon Rayquaza!

“Collecting dragons still I see Chad.” Nathaniel laughed.

“Got another dragon-like pokemon on the way.” Chad said. “I just have to go and get it from Cinnabar when it’s ready.”

“Aerodactyl?” Nathaniel guessed.

“You got it!” Chad said. “There are only two more pokemon I’m going for in Hoen and then I’m heading to Sinnoh after the Evergrande Conference.”

“You’re after Latios and Latias in the Hoen region and then you want the Dragon Trio in Sinnoh right?” Nathaniel asked.

“You know me too well.” Chad laughed. “I’m hoping to get another pokemon that can become a Dragon pokemon there as well.”

“Arceus?” Nathaniel guessed.

“Dang you’re good!” Chad laughed.

“So Sai,” Nathaniel said turning to him. “I’ve been meaning to ask you. What other psionics do you have?”

“Aside from the Paci Seal as I call it, I also have something I call Empathic Reaching.” Sai answered. “I can sense emotions and when others are around me. Sometimes I can even plant an emotion in someone or amplify one they are already feeling. I can also sense when someone is lying with that.”

“Sounds like Mesprit.” Nathaniel said. “That explains how you knew I was watching you when you were battling Selina’s Sudowoodo.”

“That’s right.” Sai laughed. “That only has a short radius though. I also have an ability I call Rush. Give me very great speeds obviously and also keeps my agility. Another power I have is called my Phase Step. Just watch this and you’ll see what that is.”

Nathaniel watched as Sai blurred and slid backwards while leaving a blurry trail of himself behind. The trail vanished and Sai appeared right next to Nathaniel.

“I can do that and reach anywhere I’ve been before or anywhere I can get a good grasp of.” Sai explained. “I can’t do that with anyone unless I’m actually holding onto them or say if someone was riding on my back like Hiroki does on my shoulder. There’s just one more power I have that was a result of a misstep on my Phase Step.”

Nathaniel watched in surprise as Sai transformed into an Eevee before his eyes. He was off color with a fiery orange fluff and orange fur. Nathaniel watched wide eyed as Sai then shifted into a sort of in between from of Eevee and each of the Eeveelutions. Sai then turned back into himself and explained a bit more.

“I Phase Stepped one day onto the Mystery Lands one day and found my inner pokemon to be an Eevee.” He said. “It turns out that another of my psionics was my ability to transform back and forth between my pokemon and furr forms and I can also transform freely into the Eeveelutions almost. It used to be I only changed color and could use some of the attacks, but now I’ve been getting better and can get halfway there and use even more of the attacks. That’s all of my psionic abilities. So what can you three do?”

Nathaniel, Selina, and Chad took turns demonstrating their psionics and then everyone got to telling their history. Sai started by explaining that he got Hiroki as his starter early in the Sinnoh region. His other pokemon were gifts from his mother however. He made friends with most of them in the Sinnoh region and his mother captured them for him. Blaze was a Torchic that hatched from an egg his mother received and the two bonded almost instantly, resulting in Sai’s receiving the Torchic as well. When it came time to begin his journey he decided to travel to Kanto and begin there. He’d since cleared Kanto twice, through both the Indigo Conference, and just last year, the Indigo Festival for coordinators. He went to Johto afterward and currently has the first four badges.

“That’s pretty cool Sai.” Nathaniel said. “I hope we end up meeting each other at Mt. Silver. Unless you and Brandon would consider traveling with us?”

“That would be pretty fun!” Sai said wagging his tail happily. “I think we could for awhile at least, but it’s up to Brandon as well.”

“We’ll ask him when he wakes up.” Nathaniel said. “Then we’ll also take him to see Chad’s father and get him some kind of weapon. Maybe I’ll even treat you guys to an awesome meal tonight. Chad’s father Draco works as a blacksmith at a place called Medieval Times.”

“I remember that place!” Sai said excitedly. “If you’re going to take us there then I’ll owe you big time!”

Nathaniel smiled and just sat back while he watched all of the pokemon play. He smiled at how all of them seemed like the best of friends already. After watching the pokemon play for awhile, Nathaniel decided to use his Aura Sight to check on Brandon. Nathaniel saw he was starting to wake up so he signaled for Sunny to follow him. He smiled when he saw that Selina had actually fallen asleep under one of the trees and left her there for the moment. When Nathaniel and Sai got up to the room, they found Brandon just waking up.

“So how was the cat nap buddy?” Sai asked.

“Imph wa…” Brandon said before trying to pull out the pacifier that was still in his mouth.

“How cute!” Sai laughed as he pulled out the pacifier for Brandon.

“Thanks. The nap was great.” Brandon said before standing up. Sai lowered the bar and then checked Brandon’s diaper with the skill of a pick pocket. Brandon didn’t even notice and apparently his diaper was fine because Sai didn’t change him. Brandon walked out of the room holding Sai’s hand and Nathaniel noticed he was arching his back a bit.

“Hey Brandon, would you hold still for a bit?” Nathaniel asked.

Brandon did and then Nathaniel used his Aura Sight again. He forced himself to look through the bright inner light and saw that Brandon actually did have wings under his shirt.

“How come you wear that shirt if it doesn’t have any holes to slip your wings through?” Nathaniel asked.

“I’ve always hid my wings because I felt a little awkward when everyone kept staring at them.” Brandon said embarrassedly.

“Well you don’t have to worry about that here.” Nathaniel laughed. “Most of the people who live here have wings. Would you like to borrow a onsie? I’ve got plenty of white ones.”

“Sure, I’ll borrow one.” Brandon said gratefully.

Nathaniel brought Brandon back in quickly and handed him one of his white onsies and left the room in case he felt a bit bashful. Brandon came back out in a minute and Nathaniel saw his wings for the first time. Nathaniel liked the golden coloring of them and nodded approvingly. He guided them back downstairs and found Selina gently stroking Anthony. Anthony was actually curled up sleeping in her lap and had a clear smile on his face. Nathaniel heard Sai breathing excitedly and Nathaniel saw that same look in his eyes that he had when he saw all of the other diapered pokemon.

“Hey Sai, can I ask you something?” Nathaniel asked.

“Sure!” Sai answered.

“Why do you get so excited when you see diapered pokemon?” Nathaniel asked.

“I really like babysitting and actually love to baby others.” Sai answered quickly with the excitement still in his voice. “I was wondering something about you and Selina by the way.”

“What exactly?” Nathaniel asked.

“You guys look like you’re ten but you sound older.” Sai explained. “Are you guys just really smart or are you like me, you lost years from your age somehow?”

“The second one.” Nathaniel answered. “Selina is seventeen and was made younger by a psionic that got a power surge it couldn’t handle. I’m an offworlder though. I was eighteen before I came here. Chad is still only twelve though. How old are you guys?”

“I’m ten all the way.” Brandon said. “How about you Sai?”

“My body is only 12 and ½ but I myself am 15 and ½.” Sai answered. “I actually met Dialga in the Sinnoh region and kind of upset him by slipping a diaper on him while he was napping. He made me a lot younger but accelerated my aging to a point. I stopped the fast aging at this age then.”

“You diapered Dialga!” Nathaniel spluttered. “Why in the world would you do that?”

“I thought he’d look cute in a diaper.” Sai shrugged.

Nathaniel, Selina, Chad and Brandon all broke into helpless fits of laughter, waking up Anthony. He asked what was going on and got enough from the bits and pieces that each of the four diapered furrs let out between breaths. He chuckled and shook his head smiling.

“He is definitely not the legendary I would see as most likely to be in a diaper.” Anthony laughed. “The second legendary I saw in a diaper was the one I thought most likely just because like me, Mew would be made even cuter in a diaper. I wonder if I should bring that little event up the next time I see Dialga or not.”

“Speaking of which, how’s yours?” Nathaniel asked panting.

“I could actually use a change.” Anthony muttered embarrassed.

“Same here if you don’t mind Nathaniel.” Chad said.

“No problem Chad.” Nathaniel laughed. “How about you Selina?”

“If a certain pokemon would get off of my legs and let them wake up, I can get up for a change as well.” Selina said hintingly.

Anthony hopped off of her lap and onto Nathaniel’s shoulder after she said that. Nathaniel had just picked up Selina, who protested only for a moment, when Sai tapped Nathaniel on the shoulder.

“I could take care of your friend Chad if he’d let me.” Sai said.

“It’s up to him.” Nathaniel said before gating up to his room. Nathaniel set Selina down on his bed and then set Anthony on the changing table. Sai appeared next to him suddenly and he grabbed a few supplies from the table before Phase Stepping out of the room. Nathaniel smiled and then got to work on Anthony. Anthony apparently had needed a change because he was showing early signs of diaper rash. Nathaniel healed the irritated areas and then diapered up his starting pokemon. With that done, he picked up his mate and got her done just as quickly. Before he could walk back out of the room however, Selina stopped him by checking his diaper and then hefting him onto the changing table. She made quick work of him and then they put on their medieval garb. They walked back downstairs to see Sai finishing changing Daisy.

“So are you guys ready to go to Medieval Times?” Nathaniel asked walking up to the group.

“I sure am!” Brandon said excitedly. “WHOA! Awesome stuff guys!”

“Thanks.” Nathaniel said. “Chad’s father made everything of mine. We can get you some stuff when we get there.”

“I’ll meet you guys there.” Chad said. “I just want to get my stuff on first.”

“Sure thing Chad.” Nathaniel said as he opened a gate. “We’ll likely be at your dad’s shop or in our private box. See you there!”

Nathaniel then waited until Selina, walked through. Brandon and Sai called out that their starters were in charge and Chad yelled out that Charizard was in charge until he came back. Nathaniel place Arcanine in charge of his and Selina’s pokemon before he walked through the gate with Sai and Brandon.

Chapter 14

“Nice to see you again Nathaniel!” Draco said hugging him. “What can I do for you today, or is this just a pleasure visit?”

“I’ve got a new friend who could use a weapon and some armor.” Nathaniel explained. “Come on in Brandon!”

Brandon walked and looked around in wide eyed wonder. Draco managed to pull him aside and then got his measurements. Chad ended up with a suit of Chain mail of the same metal as Nathaniel’s stuff and then they focused on the weapons. They tried several different weapons but none of them seemed to fit Brandon. He just held his weapons awkwardly. Nathaniel thought about it and decided the key word was ‘held’. Nathaniel gave Brandon a pair of gauntlets that protruded claws when willed too. Brandon looked at the Wolverine style claws and smiled. He swung them a bit and slashed at a few invisible foes and Nathaniel saw they’d found the right weapon. Nathaniel paid for both items and walked out into the lobby. Sai and Chad were chatting on a nearby bench but Selina was nowhere to be found. Nathaniel used his Aura Sight and found her talking to her parents and grandfather. Nathaniel smiled and then signaled to Chad and Sai to follow him. Chad was decked out in his armor and carrying his giant hammer. Nathaniel nodded approvingly and then looked around for Anthony. He found the poor Eevee being smothered by a bunch of vixens. Nathaniel walked over and rescued the helpless pokemon and was surprised when the girls started squealing at him.

“OH MY GOSH!” they were saying in that rapid voice some groups of girls can have. “You’re Nathaniel! Can we have your autograph?”

“Depends on what you want me to sign.” Nathaniel joked. The girls giggled and he signed a few shirts, some pictures of him from the battle against the Elite Four, and one actual autograph book. When Chad walked up to see what was going on, they swarmed him next. Nathaniel backed out feeling relieved and guilty at the same time. Those girls were a little wild but Chad looked like he was coping. Sai walked over when the girls had left and laughed at the relieved look on Chad’s face.

“The price of being a celebrity.” Sai laughed. “One of you beats the Elite Four and the other wins the Indigo Conference. Big time stardom there.”

“I’ll have to be more careful while I’m in Pallet.” Chad sighed. “Those girls almost made me wet.”

“I’m just glad Selina didn’t see that.” Nathaniel chuckled.

“I did.”

Nathaniel gulped nervously and turned around to see Selina with her arms crossed and one foot tapping the floor. Nathaniel didn’t have time to raise his arms in defense when she threw herself on him and then he froze with his tail sticking straight in the air as she locked lips with him. Nathaniel shuddered as he felt his bladder release and then he relaxed. Selina parted from him and then she laughed.

“I guess that means you’re still mine.” She teased.

“I doubt I’d last very long if I wasn’t.” Nathaniel laughed.

“I’m not sure whether I’d be vengeful, or more like Amy Rose is to Sonic the Hedgehog.” Selina laughed.

“No world will ever know Selina.” Nathaniel said hugging her. “Now I bet I have a wet vixen to look after.”

“It had better be me and not one of those girls that were swarming you.” Selina teased as Nathaniel gated them to his room for a change. They returned right after and led the still laughing Sai, Brandon, Chad and Anthony up to the box. The show began shortly after and was spectacular as always. When it was over and special announcements were made, Selene stood up and addressed the crowd.

“We have a special treat for all tonight.” She announced. “Sir Nathaniel has temporarily returned from his journey in the Johto region. As some of you remember, he kindly demonstrated his skills with a blade against a visiting dragon the last time he was here. He has once again offered to demonstrate his skills against yet another dragon on his own this time. Please welcome our visitor, the keeper of time, Lord Dialga!”

The crowd cheered as an orb of light appeared and the aspect of Dialga stepped through. Nathaniel laughed as he heard Sai give a strangled squeak before diving out of sight of the twenty-six foot tall pokemon. Nathaniel wasn’t surprised at the size of him. While the average Dialga stands at almost eighteen feet, the aspects of legendaries are often bigger or just look more somehow. Nathaniel saluted the dragon pokemon, who nodded respectfully in return, before he leaped out onto the battlefield. Dialga gave one loud cry and then Nathaniel no longer heard the cheering crowd as all went silent to his ears. He was entirely focused on the fight he was about to engage in.

Dialga gave one more roar and then rushed at Nathaniel, claws glowing in what Nathaniel knew to be Metal Claw. Nathaniel focused and charged energy in two places at once, his entire body and his sword. His sword began to glow and Nathaniel swung it at the claws that were bearing down on him. The attacks met and Nathaniel didn’t move back one step thanks to the added strength. Nathaniel swung the claws aside and then jumped forward, swinging his sword at Dialga’s head. Dialga moved to dodge and Nathaniel reversed his swing and instead hit Dialga in the side of the head with his tail. Dialga staggered dizzily before opening his mouth to reveal an orb of blue energy. Nathaniel knew he wouldn’t be able to dodge the incoming attack so he raised a shield of energy around him in what he hoped would serve as Protect and flew backwards a few yards when Dialga’s Aura Sphere struck. Nathaniel was unharmed and gathered more energy into his sword. Dialga opened his mouth to reveal another orb of a darker blue energy and Nathaniel quickly channeled the energy he’d gathered in his blade into his special lung and focused on the energy he needed. Dialga fired the beam of dark blue energy that made the attack Roar of Time and Nathaniel let loose his fire line breath weapon with the extra energy he’d gathered. The attacks collided in a colossal explosion that rocked the building and smoke filled the battlefield. Nathaniel coughed a bit before gathering energy into his wings and unleashing it with a few flaps. The smoke cleared and Dialga stood at the other end of the field smiling. Dialga nodded his respect before giving one more cry and leaving the same way he came. The crowd was roaring in Nathaniel’s ears once again and he lifted his sword in salute to the crowd.


“So I take it you set that up Selina?” Nathaniel asked laughing as they walked down the path to home.

“I did when I visited my parents.” Selina said chuckling. “I thought you wouldn’t mind and it looks like you had fun.”

Nathaniel nodded and the group talked and laughed about the evening. Nathaniel saw when they reached the clearing that a light was on in the house, and someone was inside because a shadow passed in front of it. Nathaniel started breathing quickly and ran the rest of the way to the house. He only made it two thirds of the way because his favorite guardian met him the rest of the way and had him in a bear hug before Nathaniel could even say hello. Nathaniel laughed breathlessly and hugged the tall otter right back.

“Gee Skip; you act as if you haven’t seen me for weeks!” Nathaniel laughed, still struggling to breathe.

“I know.” Skip laughed, releasing Nathaniel. “It just seems to get longer every time you’re gone. So those must be the two new friends over there that Ethan mentioned before Krieg and Rose sent me home.”

“Yep!” Nathaniel said, happy to be able to breathe again. “Come on over here guys! I’d like you to meet my favorite older brother Skip. The fox there is Sai and the Liger is Brandon.”

“Pleased to meet you both!” Skip said cheerily shaking their hands.

“Likewise!” they both said simultaneously.

Skip smiled and let them all inside to see Arcanine waiting for them. Arcanine licked them all as a welcome home. Nathaniel hugger her in return and then sat down on the couch to tell Skip all that had happened since the last visit. When he’d finished, they turned on the TV and saw the rising stars portion of the pokemon league news. Nathaniel was surprised to see he was mentioned along with Chad, Selina and Sai. They even had the amount of badges that each of them had correct. They then focused on another area, Poketopia. A group of aspiring trainers were dominating the junior league there. Nathaniel laughed out loud when he saw that it was his own siblings who were attracting the attention. They were only using rental pokemon, but they were using them with such a skill that even some of the older trainers were being defeated by them. Nathaniel made a mental note to watch out for his brother when he became a trainer and turned off the TV when the section of the news was over. Nobody was ready for bed yet, so they went down to the cavern and then Nathaniel showed them the stadium. Sai and Brandon looked around in amazement at all that was under the house when Nathaniel lit the place up. All of the pokemon too a seat in the stands and then they all watched in fascination as an orb of light appeared at the end of the stadium. Nathaniel was utterly surprised when Dialga stepped through but wasn’t surprised when Sai dove off somewhere with a yelp.

“Greetings Lord Dialga.” Nathaniel said respectfully. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?”

“I merely wished to compliment your skills in our duel this evening.” Dialga said nodding. “I also wondered if you’d seen anything that might be linked to a distortion in time. I sensed one when I came in to duel you and actually, I sense the same one now.”

“I wouldn’t know really.” Nathaniel answered. “I wouldn’t know how to recognize one.”

“I think I recognize this as a distortion of my own making now that I focus on it.” Dialga muttered. “Now I know what it is I’m sensing! Where is that fox? There’s a fox furr with black wings around here somewhere that I’ve been waiting to see in the Sinnoh region again. Where is he Nathaniel?”

“What is it you plan to do to him?” Nathaniel asked, locating Sai hiding behind Arcanine as an Eevee.

“Nothing painful.” Dialga answered with a grin. “If he doesn’t come out, I’ll just track him down at a later date and he’ll never know when I’ll show up.”

“OKAY FINE!” Sai shouted jumping out from behind Arcanine. “What do you want? You already punished me for what I did to you. More than enough in my opinion.”

“Exactly enough actually.” Dialga growled. “I had to get help to get that thing off. Palkia still hasn’t let me live this down yet after I had to get him to strip it off. Giratina, even though he’s still laughing at me, is one of the only reasons Palkia hasn’t told anyone else about that. But I digress. I only wanted to find you to say that I forgive you for that. If that is why I haven’t sensed you anywhere in the Sinnoh region because you feared to return, then you need not fear me any longer.”

“Thank you Dialga.” Sai said with relief.

Dialga nodded and then left with a flash of light. Everyone laughed nervously at first and then full out with relief. Nathaniel looked around and saw that there were several diapers that would need to be changed, including his own. Sai was in his furr form again and was looking around excitedly, even though he was still shaking from Dialga’s visit. Nathaniel laughed and then took stock of what diapers he would need. He gated up to his room and grabbed each of them plus other supplies and then gated back to the stadium. Every pokemon was quickly rediapered. Nathaniel laughed when he saw that Anthony was actually being tickled by Sai now that he’d finished diapering him. Anthony finally squirmed free and hid behind Nathaniel’s back. Nathaniel laughed even more when Sai walked up to him and he felt Anthony duck behind him even more after peeking out from behind him.

“He is just so cute!” Sai laughed. “I’d vote him president of the cuties any day.”

“Wouldn’t that make him the cutesident?” Nathaniel chuckled. “Why are you hiding from him anyway Anthony?”

“I’d rather not be babied.” Anthony whimpered.

“Are you sure about that?” Nathaniel laughed. “You were pretty set against diapers before and look at yourself now. Plus suckling from Arcanine every now and again seems pretty babyish to me.”

“HEY!” Anthony barked. “Don’t use that one against me. You know just as well as I do that her milk is just tasty.”

“He actually suckles from your Arcanine?” Sai asked laughing.

“Most of us here have.” Nathaniel answered. “Arcanine is in a constant state of lactating so at least one of us suckles from her every day to make sure she doesn’t produce too much milk.”

“We’ve used her milk on some injured pokemon we used to find before they installed the system to teleport wild pokemon that are defeated in battle.” Skip explained. “Her milk is very nutritious and you could actually live off of the stuff if you had to. It helps that it’s very tasty as well just as Anthony said.”

“Why don’t you come on out of there Anthony?” Nathaniel laughed as he felt Anthony climb inside his armor. “How about you give it a try just like you did the day we left on our first journey? I’m sure Sai won’t be mean about it. He’s been really nice to all of us so far.”

“Okay.” Anthony huffed as he climbed out of Nathaniel’s armor and onto his shoulder. “He just better not overdo it!”

Nathaniel smiled and handed Anthony off to the now very happy Sai. He then gave a large yawn and realized that they would have to wait to do anything in the stadium until morning. Nathaniel said goodnight to everyone, and good bye to Chad since he was going to Cinnabar to pick up his Aerodactyl before heading back to Hoen. Sai actually set up a tent in the cavern for himself, Brandon and Anthony and Nathaniel opened a gate for Skip to get to his room. Nathaniel then gated to his own room with Selina and after they had stripped down, they changed each other and got into bed. They sat up quickly when they heard a noise coming from Selina’s backpack and found that the egg that Selina had received at the day care was shaking. It stopped and then nothing else happened. Nathaniel and Selina looked at each other smiling, knowing that soon they would have a new member of the family.

Just doing a complete overhaul of updates here since I'm working on this one now.


Chapter 15



Nathaniel woke to the sounds of some kind of commotion coming from the cavern. Nathaniel groaned and stretched before going downstairs with Selina. What he saw when he got down there was an angry looking Daisy chasing after Anthony. Nathaniel looked at Sai and saw he was occupied at the moment with Mirushi. Sai was diapering the satisfied looking Glameow and Nathaniel started to put two and two together.



“It looks like Mirushi was jealous of the attention Anthony was getting but how did she manage to get Daisy to chase after Anthony?” Nathaniel asked.



“Mirushi here got the bright idea of sneaking Daisy’s paci into Anthony’s mouth while they were both sleeping.” Sai laughed. “Daisy’s really protective of that paci so she wasn’t happy to see Anthony with it. Don’t worry; I’ll stop them as soon as I’m done with my kitten.”



Nathaniel chuckled quietly and gated back upstairs with Selina before Anthony even realized he was down there. After they changed each other and got their traveling supplies ready and traveling clothes on, they walked upstairs. They found Skip up already as usual and he was making breakfast. Nathaniel groaned when he saw it was homemade breakfast burritos but then remembered that Ethan wouldn’t be joining them for awhile. Nathaniel took a couple for himself and Selina and sat down to eat just as Sai came in with a heavy load. He was carrying Brandon while having four pokemon hanging from his shoulders. Hiroki, Mirushi, Daisy and Anthony jumped off of him and then Sai’s pokemon took a seat on one of the couches. Anthony jumped into Nathaniel’s lap but Nathaniel got up and deposited him in Sai’s lap before heading into the kitchen for a few burritos for Sai and Brandon. Nathaniel grabbed something else as an idea came to him and walked back into the living room. Selina had already gotten a snack for Sai’s pokemon since it looked like they had already breakfasted on some berries. Hiroki was sitting firmly between Mirushi and Daisy to keep them apart. Daisy had apparently learned what happened and wasn’t too happy with Mirushi so Hiroki was making sure they didn’t start fighting. Nathaniel set the plates down in front of Brandon and Sai and then handed Sai a bottle full of Arcanine’s milk.



“You’ve got to be joking!” Anthony yelped when he saw the giddy look in Sai’s eyes.



“You said you’d try it just like you tried the diapers.” Nathaniel laughed. “And you tried them for a whole day so Sai can baby you for a whole day.”



Anthony huffed but Nathaniel saw something changing in his eyes. Curiosity finally got the better of Anthony and he let Sai cradle him and slip the bottle past his lips. Nathaniel laughed at how cute they looked as Anthony began to nurse the bottle and laughed at how jealous Mirushi looked. Nathaniel could see it was only the attention Mirushi was jealous of not the bottle feeding and wondered how much trouble there was going to be from her. As it was, trouble was only being prevented by Hiroki at the moment thanks to a warning paw on Mirushi’s shoulder. Nathaniel shook his head and ate his breakfast.



When everyone was finished with breakfast Nathaniel had to go downstairs again. Anthony had actually fallen asleep in Sai’s arms so Nathaniel came back up with a cloth sling that Sai could carry Anthony in. Anthony actually snuggled closer to Sai when he was put in the sling and Mirushi was clearly furious with jealousy. Sai noticed and bent down to scratch Mirushi behind the ears.



“Come on Mirushi.” Sai laughed. “Anthony isn’t replacing you or anything. He just hasn’t had this kind of treatment before. You and Daisy both have before so Anthony needs a bit more attention right now to get the full effect and see how much he likes it. I’ll baby you all day tomorrow if you’re still feeling jealous of him.”



Mirushi purred and rubbed up against his leg in a way that clearly said, “You’d better.” Nathaniel clutched his ribs to keep from laughing and gated to the cavern. He gathered up all of the pokemon that would be going with them before gating back upstairs with them. Sai and Brandon called back all of their pokemon except for Hiroki, who hopped onto Sai’s shoulder. Selina called back her Johto starters, Cubone and Sudowoodo. Nathaniel called back his own starters along with Arcanine and Smeargle. He hugged Skip goodbye and then opened another gate back to where they met Sai.



“Just a question before we get to Ecruteak Sai.” Nathaniel said. “Did you happen to use that Empathic Reaching of yours to get Anthony to try that bottle?”



“How’d you notice?” Sai asked laughing, confirming Nathaniel’s suspicions.



“Just the way his eyes changed so quickly from refusal to curiosity.” Nathaniel answered. “Normally he would take longer to convince to do something like that. Either that or you’d need to annoy him enough to get him to try it.”



“Like you did to get him into his first diaper.” Selina laughed as she showed Sai and Brandon that memory.



Sai and Brandon laughed uproariously until Anthony shifted in the sling a bit. The chuckled a bit more until they reached Ecruteak City. Nathaniel didn’t feel like going to the gym until Anthony was awake so he turned t the group and told them his new idea.



“How about we hit the Tin Tower?” Nathaniel asked. “I can catch Ho-oh there and then we can challenge the gym.”



“Ho-oh doesn’t live on top of Tin Tower anymore.” Brandon said.



“He doesn’t?” Nathaniel asked.



“Nope.” Brandon said. “I’ve been to the top of the Tin Tower and it is actually Raikou at the top of that one.”



“I thought it would have been Lugia since the Tin Tower was his before the Brass Tower burned down.” Nathaniel said.



“The Brass tower was actually rebuilt.” Brandon said. “The two birds left before then though. They’re both supposed to be on another island somewhere.”



“That must be Navel Rock.” Nathaniel said. “So where are Entei and Suicune located at then?”



“I was getting to that.” Brandon huffed. “Because the Brass Tower was once the Burned Tower, Entei took over that one. Suicune went over to the Whirl Islands and a Crystal Tower was built there. So while we’re here in Ecruteak, you can go ahead and capture two Legendaries.”



“Well that certainly makes things more interesting.” Nathaniel said. “Let’s go to the Brass Tower first. I’m sure I can beat Entei.”



The group headed over to the path that led to the Brass Tower. Nathaniel wasn’t surprised to see how big the tower was. It reflected the sunlight off the shiny golden surface and made Nathaniel squint his eyes. He turned to his group and then walked up to the Tower with them. There was a sign outside the tower giving a brief history of it. It was originally the home of Ho-oh and was not only the tower of awakening, but also represented the beginning of life. Nathaniel made a mental connection to it and the Cave of Origin in the Hoen Region. It was struck on night during a dry summer by a bolt of lightning. The tower erupted into flames and burned to the ground, killing three unnamed pokemon inside. When the life-giving rain fell and put out the flames, Ho-oh returned to the charred remains of the tower and mourned for the three pokemon. Then, using the power if its own flame, it resurrected the three pokemon with legendary strength to embody each of the three forces that had affected the tower. Raikou was the bolt that struck it, Entei was the flames that engulfed it, and Suicune was the rain that put out the tower. All five legendaries that were near Ecruteak left that night and Ho-oh returned at one point in time to the Tin Tower. The people then decided to rebuild the Brass Tower and Ho-oh left when it was finished.



When Nathaniel was done reading, he walked inside the tower and vaguely heard the same music he’d heard when he was in the tower in Lavender Town. He was about to ask Anthony about that when he realized he was still asleep. Nathaniel shrugged and walked up the steps. When he reached the floor he assumed was the last before the roof, he sat down with the group for a rest. He felt something breathing down the back of his neck and turned to see a Misdreavus staring at him. He was just about to ask what it wanted when it grew to three times its normal size and screamed at all of them using Astonish. There was a hole in the ceiling and three furs with wet diaper, and one of them was pretty angry. Nathaniel sent out Smeargle and it took one look at the Misdreavus and knew just what to do. Misdreavus tried to hit Smeargle with the rainbow colored Psybeam, but Smeargle wasn’t there anymore. He’d completely vanished, leaving behind a very bewildered Misdreavus. It used Protect to raise a glowing green shield around itself, thinking Smeargle had ducked around somewhere to attack from behind. Smeargle reappeared right in front of Misdreavus instead and slammed his tail right through Misdreavus’s shield, completing the Shadow Force attack. Misdreavus was still up, but only for two seconds more. A Shadow Ball, fire from somewhere above plowed it into the floor before it disappeared. Nathaniel looked up and saw Anthony looking at them from the hole he had made in the ceiling when he jumped from the fright of Misdreavus’s Astonish. Nathaniel gave him the thumbs up and then checked to see if everyone was okay. Selina had clearly wet herself and her shorts were about falling off because her bulging diaper had burst through the poppers of her onesie. Brandon wasn’t in as bad a state but he was breathing heavily from surprise. Nathaniel’s own diaper was only slightly wet because he’d pretty much emptied his bladder before the last change. Nathaniel looked to Sai and saw he was nearly unconscious because Hiroki was rubbing him right between the ears in a way that clearly made Sai feel blissful. Hiroki stopped and Sai got up and shook himself as if he’d just come out of a lake.



“Wow.” Sai said. “I knew what the Misdreavus was about to do and it still scared the heck out of me. Looks like I’ve got a wet cub to take care of at the pokemon center, but what about the kit I was looking after?”



“I’d be willing to bet that since Anthony jumped through the ceiling he needs a change.” Nathaniel laughed. “We’ll get everyone changed as soon as we get what we came for. There’s a new way to the roof now so it won’t take us very long.”



The four furrs then flapped their way up to the hole Anthony made and had to use Selina’s teleportation ability and Sai’s Phase Step to get through now that they could see where they were going. Nathaniel stood up on the tower and looked out to the horizon. He could see for miles up here and could also see the Tin Tower shining silver in the sunlight out to the east. At the northern most end of the tower, there stood the white rock with a flat, polished surface that reflected the light like smooth marble. Nathaniel walked up to it while Selina and Brandon waddled back a bit with Sai. From the flash of light that Nathaniel still hadn’t gotten used to, appeared the lion like Fire pokemon Entei.



“You’ve summoned my offspring Nathaniel.” A voice roared. “Let your power erupt forth and prove that it is enough to master him.”



Nathaniel back flipped to the other end of the tower with a single bound and tossed out Arcanine. Before either of the two could launch an attack, water rained down from the sky in a Water Spout attack and struck the unwary Entei. Anthony waddled forward growling cutely at Entei and jumped aside as a Fire Blast scorched the spot he was at a split second ago. The tip of Anthony’s tail began to glow as he wagged it side to side. He opened his mouth wide as a humongous jet of water erupted forward and the Hydro Cannon blasted Entei off of the Tower. Nathaniel stood there stunned and waited for a sickening thud, but never heard one. Instead, his bracer beeped, “Entei successfully captured.” Nathaniel heaved a huge sigh of relief and then heard Selina laugh as his diaper swelled enough to pop free of the onesie and send his shorts low enough to make them fall down.



“Well what do you expect?” Nathaniel quipped. “I thought I just saw the death of a legend! It scared the heck out of me!”



“How about you two go get yourselves cleaned up while I take care of a certain cub and kit?” Sai laughed.



“Sorry but the kit’s going to have to wait.” Nathaniel said. “I need him for one more battle over on the Tin Tower.”



“That’ll take too long.” Sai said. “You can’t fly over there because the air isn’t right for flight. Plus the white rocks have a special field around them that prevent any method of teleportation to them. Now are you going to go get cleaned up or am I going to have to change the both of you?”



Nathaniel felt something enter his mind and he smiled at Sai saying, “You don’t have to do that. You could just ask if you really want to change Selina and me. No babying at the moment though. I want to catch Raikou before we head to the gym. Then you we can stay at the pokemon center for the rest of the day and you can go ahead and baby me and Selina if you really want to. I’m getting curious about it on my own.”



“Don’t I get a say if he can baby me or not?” Selina asked with her arms crossed.



Nathaniel answered by kissing her, making them both nearly burst their diapers with the flood they’d let out, and saying, “Nope! I want a playmate.”



Sai just laughed and Phase Stepped telling them to wait for a second. He came back and then Phase Stepped each one of them to their room in the pokemon Center. Nathaniel offered to help him change everyone and Sai agreed since they hadn’t finished in town yet. Sai took care of Anthony while Nathaniel got Selina. Then Sai took care of Brandon while Selina took care of Nathaniel. Since the rest of the pokemon had been in their Pokeballs the entire time, they wouldn’t be in need of a change. Once everyone was ready, Sai locked the door to the room and everyone used their various abilities to get out of the building. They got over to the Tin Tower and Nathaniel was surprised there wasn’t a sign telling the history of this tower. He guessed that there wasn’t much to tell that the Brass Tower’s sign didn’t cover so he shrugged and walked inside. He heard the music from the tower in Lavender Town much more clearly this time.

“What is that noise?” Brandon asked.



“It’s the music from Giratina’s home.” Nathaniel answered. “I guess this must be the place where life symbolically ends in the Johto region. But I don’t get why I heard it in the Brass tower as well.”



“I didn’t hear a thing.” Selina said. Sai and Brandon both shook their heads when Nathaniel looked at them so Nathaniel turned to Anthony.



“It was likely because you are the master to be.” Anthony told him telepathically. “Sometimes Giratina actually sends the dead back to be reborn. That is a very rare occurrence indeed so the music in the place where life symbolically begins is so faint that only the master can hear it.”



“So where does life symbolically begin in the Kanto region?” Nathaniel asked.



“I’m not sure myself.” Anthony said. “The memory eludes me at the moment. I want to say it’s the Tree of Beginnings but that place is pretty much in a separate kingdom of its own.”



Nathaniel shrugged again and began climbing with his teammates. He kept his Aura Sight going at the max and Sai really focused on his Empathic Reaching. It seemed like the tower was empty for some reason. Selina checked her bracer and found out that the Ghost pokemon that liked to hang around the Tin Tower were likely out in the surrounding forest at this time of day. The only other pokemon the group saw were a bunch of Rattata on a higher floor and they ran off when Brandon sent out his Skitty and Sai sent out Mirushi. Sai made sure to give Mirushi a scratch behind the ears to placate her jealousy before calling her back. When they finally reached the top of the tower, Nathaniel wasted no time in summoning a Raikou.



“You have summoned my offspring Nathaniel.” A voice rumbled. “Strike without holding back you power and show you are worthy of him.”



Nathaniel sent out Anthony to battle and he hopped out of Sai’s sling. Nathaniel smirked before the battle began and made a note to get that sling back to carry Anthony in the future. He was getting to like being carried like that and Nathaniel thought he was adorable in it just as much as Sai did. Raikou ran forward with electricity running all over his body and tackled Anthony with Spark. Anthony was paralyzed by the attack but still wagged his tail using Metronome and used Façade. The attack hit with double the power thanks to Anthony being paralyzed in addition to the other bonuses he got for his element and ability. Raikou wasn’t looking to hot from that attack and tried to bite down on Anthony with Crunch. The attack missed as Anthony disappeared. Anthony reappeared from underneath Raikou and sent the tiger like pokemon sprawling. It got back up and snarled before charging at Anthony again with Spark. He took the attack and got a point blank shot at Raikou with Shadow Ball. Raikou was still standing and this time did hit Anthony with Crunch. Anthony responded with his last attack, Last Resort. The powerful attack hit and Raikou released Anthony before disappearing. Nathaniel cheered and hugged the Eevee as he healed him.



“Raikou successfully captured.” Nathaniel’s bracer beeped. Nathaniel gave Anthony one more squeeze and then handed him back to Sai, who cuddled the Eevee once before putting him back into the sling. Anthony was beaming with pleasure after all the attention from his latest battle. Nathaniel then turned to the group and pointed to the gym in the city below.



“Could we stop for dinner first?” Brandon asked.



“What happened to lunch?” Nathaniel asked in return as his stomach growled loudly.



“We were so busy climbing towers that we forgot we were hungry and now it’s almost dinner time.” Brandon answered.



Nathaniel looked at his bracer and then at the sun and realized that it was indeed almost dinner time. Nathaniel laughed as everyone’s stomach growled and then peered out into Ecruteak to see if there were any obvious spots to eat at that looked good. He couldn’t tell from this angle so he decided to take the group elsewhere. He opened a gate and the group stepped through into the streets of Pallet Town in front of Nathaniel’s favorite spot. He still couldn’t read the name but it was the Italian spot Skip took him to on his first day in Pallet.



“Wow!” Brandon said seeing the restaurant.



“Nice!” was Sai’s comment.



Nathaniel smiled and walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his whole family sitting at a large table. One of the workers came up to him when he saw them standing at the door.



“I’m sorry sir but we are booked up tonight.” He said.



“Sorry.” Nathaniel replied. “Would you mind if I just spoke with my family then before I leave.”



“NATHANIEL!” eight voices shouted before Nathaniel was buried by eight diapered projectiles. Nathaniel felt someone lifting each of his siblings off of him and saw his favorite older brother looking down at him laughing.



“You can extend the table for them.” Skip told the worker still laughing. “These guys are family.”



Sai and Brandon visibly blushed at Skip referring to them as family and followed Skip back to a now extended table. Nathaniel picked up one of the plates and went right for the buffet along with everyone else and then sat down before turning to Skip.



“So what’s the occasion bro?” Nathaniel asked.



“We booked this place a week ago as a possible celebration for the tournament we planned to have the kids enter in Poketopia.” Skip answered. “It really is a celebration because all eight of them got the top spots in the tournament against even professionals using their own pokemon! They came out as top eight and Ethan won the final round against Shannon.”



“Uh-oh!” Nathaniel laughed.



“No worries.” Skip laughed, realizing what Nathaniel was implying. “Shannon was a good sport about it. Glad you decided to show up so now it can be a real family event!”



“We skipped lunch so I thought we should get a big dinner.” Nathaniel said digging into his capresei salad. “I got two more pokemon I was wondering if you would take home for me. They might even be able to carry the kids if they’re the friendly kind.”



Skip just nodded because his mouth was full of shrimp scampi at the moment. Everyone ate their fill and then they made more room for desert, the gelato bar! When everyone was done, Nathaniel insisted on paying for his group but was talked down by his insistent family before they left. Nathaniel did leave a tip at least and then walked with the family to the woods. That’s when he first sent out Arcanine. She went wild when she saw all of the gelato smeared faces and licked everyone clean in a few minutes.



“I thought you might like that Arcanine.” Nathaniel laughed. “You probably got enough to fill a dish from all of us.”



“Gelato tastes even better when you lick it off of someone’s face in my opinion.” Arcanine said licking her jaws. “Thank you little one.”



Nathaniel smiled and called back Arcanine before calling out his two new legendaries. They stood close together when they saw all of the staring faces and then looked at their new master. Nathaniel walked up to them and gave them a few positive energy pulses with a scratch under both of their chins and told them he wouldn’t be needing their services just yet and asked them to take his siblings home. They nodded and kneeled down to let four diapered little furrs onto each of their backs and stood back up.



“I’ve got a little job for you guys.” Nathaniel told them. “Since you guys are turning out to be such good trainers, I’d like it if you would make sure that while I’m gone my pokemon get some exercise each day. Bring a few of those willing each day to the stadium and you can go ahead and battle them. Whether you use your own pokemon against them or use them against each other is fine with me. That way you guys don’t have to stop battling just because you guys leave Poketopia. Will you do that for me?”



“YES!” the eight giddy little furrs squealed. Nathaniel smiled and gave each of them a hug before opening another gate and stepping back into Ecruteak City. After that meal, Nathaniel felt ready to take on the gym leader and went over there with Selina. Chad and Brandon already had the badge but they went to watch anyway. Nathaniel stepped inside and saw the gym leader hanging from the ceiling at the other end of the field. The vampire bat swooped down and pulled out a couple Pokeballs.



“Glad to see some challengers.” He said. “And it’s good to see you two again as well!”



“Thanks Morty.” Sai and Brandon said together.



“Let’s not waste time then.” Morty said excitedly. “I’ll battle both of you at once. I get four and you both get two. Last team standing wins. GO!”



From Morty’s Pokeballs came a Mismagius and a Haunter. Nathaniel sent out Smeargle while Selina experimented with her new Sudowoodo. Mismagius immediately used Magical Leaf on Sudowoodo, but the attack was blocked by Sudowoodo’s equally powerful Faint Attack. Haunter’s eyes glowed as he tried using Hypnosis, but his intended target wasn’t there. Smeargle was nowhere to be seen. Sudowoodo became surrounded by a glowing green sphere and the Protect blocked both Shadow Balls that were fired at it. Mismagius fell to the ground when Smeargle slammed into it from behind and didn’t get back up. Morty called back Mismagius as Haunter missed Smeargle with Hypnosis and then sent out his Duskinoir. Sudowoodo was brought down when steam surrounded Duskinoir’s hand and slammed into Sudowoodo with Ice Punch, but Haunter was also brought down by the pink arch of energy that Smeargle fired from his tail in a slashing motion. The Spacial Rend was a critical hit and Morty looked very excited at how the battle was going. He sent out his last pokemon, his Gengar and waited for Selina to send out hers. Selina threw out a Croconaw and Nathaniel looked at his belt in surprise. He laughed at how Selina managed to do that but let it slide. Gengar very quickly hit Smeargle with Thunder and Croconaw was hit by Thunder Punch from the sparking fist of Duskinoir. Smeargle’s tail began to glow blue and Croconaw rushed at Duskinoir with his jaw open wide. Both attacks hit their intended targets and Gengar fell to the Roar of Time while Duskinoir fainted from the super effective Crunch. As Morty called back his pokemon, Croconaw began to glow and grow and became the fully evolved Feraligatr. Morty laughed as he handed Selina and Nathaniel their new badges and they held them in the air in their cheesy victory pose before heading to the pokemon center for their night as babies.

Chapter 16



Selina woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed. She noticed she was in the crib Sai had ordered for her alone and looked around fro Nathaniel. All she saw were the contentedly sleeping pokemon and Brandon. Sai was sleeping still as well and looked very happy with one arm hugging Anthony to him and the other resting on the placated Mirushi. Selina decided to try something to find Nathaniel and began to tap into Sai’s mind. It took her awhile but she managed to do it without waking him and accessed his power of Empathic Reaching. Using it, she found Nathaniel on the roof of the pokemon Center. She got some clothes on and since she had a grasp of him, she was able to teleport up to him and found him focusing on something.



“Penny for your thoughts?” she asked him.



“Only a penny?” Nathaniel laughed. “I was just thinking about maybe trying something new.”



“Like what?” Selina asked.



“I was thinking of maybe changing my coloring.” Nathaniel answered. “I’m getting a little bored with the plain black look. I was just contemplating what color to change myself instead.”



“If you really want to change your color, maybe I can help.” Selina said. “I personally like the black look on you but maybe a change in color would be interesting. How’s about we work together and change each part of you a different color? We can keep the all black look in mind for if you want to go sneaking around at night and it should be easy to change back.”



Nathaniel nodded and he and Selina focused. When Nathaniel felt Selina access his powers they got started. Nathaniel made his own thoughts and Selina made hers and they looked together at the end product. Nathaniel was pleased with how he turned out. His wolf head was now a silver color and his otter body was the same color as Skip's chestnut brown fur. His lion legs were a golden brown instead but the rest stayed about the same. The scales on his arms were still black but the fur running down them was the same color as his otter body. His wings were white once more and Nathaniel smiled at Selina when he realized that they both had thought of the same colors for each of the parts of his body. That was when Nathaniel realized they were still connected and noticed something sealed in Selina’s mind.



“Are you aware of that psionic power that’s sealed in your mind?” Nathaniel asked.



Selina shook her head and used her connection to Nathaniel’s mind to see inside her own. When the both focused on the power, they found that they could unlock it, and so they did. When it was unsealed, they found out what the power was. It was the same power that made Selina ten!



“When I tapped that power to lessen it for that furr, I must have somehow trapped a portion of it in my own mind.” Selina explained. “So now I have the same power. I can age or regress someone!”



“You know,” Nathaniel said. “I kind of wondered what I’d look like if I were physically my mental age. Do you think we could try that?”



Selina nodded and they focused together to make sure they could control it. It turned out that Selina could have done it herself and looked at the finished project. Nathaniel grunted when he felt how the material of his onesie and shorts were stretching painfully against his larger body. He was much taller and when he looked, he had quite the set of muscles. Selina laughed at him and set him back to normal. Nathaniel pouted jokingly and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before they gated back into their room.



“Well at least I know I have a strong handsome furr to look forward to being the wife of.” Selina said.



“And I don’t need your new psionic to tell that I’m going to have the most beautiful wife on the planet.” Nathaniel said giving her another peck on the cheek. “I think that before we try that again, we should get Chad to make my clothes adjust with me. That hurt a bit. I’m surprised the clothes didn’t just tear off.”



Selina laughed and then they woke everyone up. Diapers were changed in quick order and breakfast was eaten. Nathaniel slipped the sling over his shoulder and looked at Anthony. He rolled his eyes and hopped in but Nathaniel could see that he liked being carried in it. Nathaniel smiled down at the cradled Eevee and gave him a positive energy belly rub before walking out of the room with everyone else. After they turned their key in and stepped outside, Nathaniel looked at his bracer. The next stop was either Olivine or Cinnawood City. Nathaniel remembered from the games that the Olivine Gym was the sixth one but decided they’d choose whether to get to that one or the Cinnawood Gym when they got to Olivine. They group proceeded out of the city and soon came to a ranch. Nathaniel recognized the place as Lonlon Ranch and saw that there was also what looked to be a saloon advertising the sale of MooMoo Milk. Nathaniel was about to suggest they go in to check it out when Selina gave a yelp of surprise. Nathaniel turned and saw her set her backpack down before pulling out the egg. Everyone watched in surprise as it started shaking and glowing before hatching into what looked to be another egg. Nathaniel and Selina smiled at the newborn Togepi and Selina nuzzled the sleepy pokemon. It chirped happily and hugged Selina’s muzzle. Everyone ‘awed’ at that and Nathaniel told them to wait while he saw if the saloon had bottles of MooMoo Milk for babies. Nathaniel walked in and was glad to see it was a family oriented place instead of a rough and tumble western saloon. Nathaniel walked up to the bar counter and asked if they had baby bottles of the famous milk and was handed three disposable ones. Nathaniel paid the bill for them and thanked the bartender before getting back to the group. Nathaniel wasn’t surprised to see that Selina had stolen his pokemon and introduced them to Togepi. Togepi was chirping excitedly at all of the pokemon surrounding him and was clearly very happy. Nathaniel came up to the group and offered Selina one of the bottles. She took it and cradled the hyper Togepi in her arm before teasing Togepi’s lips with the nipple. It didn’t take long for Togepi to start draining the bottle and Nathaniel wondered what to do with the other two. He smirked and looked at Anthony, who just rolled his eyes in a way that said, “If you must.” Nathaniel chuckled and gave Sai one of the bottles while he offered Anthony the other. Anthony’s eyes widened in surprise when he tasted the milk and began sucking it down rapidly. Nathaniel laughed at how cute Anthony looked and laughed even more when he saw Sai had been shanghaied into bottle feeding Mirushi. Nathaniel just shook his head at the fact that the three of them were all feeding Normal pokemon and then heard a small whining noise. Togepi had emptied his bottle and wanted more. Before Togepi could start crying, a pacifier appeared in his mouth from Sai’s Paci Seal and Nathaniel heaved a sigh of relief.



“Before we have a huge disaster,” Nathaniel said. “Who else want some milk?”



All of the pokemon, even Arcanine, wanted to have some of that milk so the whole group walked up to the saloon. Togepi was bouncing happily in Selina’s arms the whole way. Nathaniel saw that there was actually a sign that told trainers to go around to the ranch if they wanted to get their pokemon some of the milk. Nathaniel shrugged and brought them to the spot and a few of the ranch hand filled two entire troughs for them. Nathaniel made sure he paid the bill for everyone and got a few extra bottles as well. Nathaniel watched as the smaller pokemon shared a trough and laughed at Arcanine eagerly lapping up milk with Brandon’s larger pokemon. Nathaniel then took one of the bottles they were given for free and fed Anthony another one. He didn’t seem to mind being bottle fed anymore as long as the stuff inside was tasty. The farm hand came up to the rest of the group and offered them each a tankard of the milk and Nathaniel accepted his gratefully. He looked before he took a drink and decided to wait until Sai was done with Mirushi, Selina was done with Togepi, and Brandon was done with the curious Skitty. Nathaniel was surprised to see each of the normal pokemon fall asleep in their trainer’s laps and chuckled when Anthony gave a small, contented snore. He then picked up his tankard and lifted it into the air with his friends.



“Since I can’t think of some profound toast, bottoms up!” Nathaniel said before chugging the tankard simultaneously with them. Nathaniel’s eyes widened identically to what Anthony’s looked like. This milk was even better than Arcanine’s! Nathaniel felt guilty for liking it so much until he saw Arcanine watching him with a smirk.



“I can see what you’re thinking little one.” Arcanine said. “I agree with you. This is better tasting than my own so do not feel guilty.”



“How do you know what your own milk tastes like?” Nathaniel asked raising an eye at her.



“Skip bottle fed me my own milk when I was ill once.” Arcanine said sheepishly. “I was too weak to even lap water from a bowl so I didn’t have much choice. Skip had to find a way to get me my nutrition so my own milk was the only choice.”



“Have you had any of your milk since then?” Nathaniel asked her telepathically.
