Padded Explorers (For Abnormal One)

[CalmlyEccentric]

Axew smiled before looking at the others. Instead of Cas answered the Eevee's question, Axew decided to instead. He owed them anyway. "They wear them because they like them." He stated as he walked over to her and stood at her side. "Also...thank you for allowing me to stay with you." He smiled, never thinking that someone would be nice enough to let him stay in their home. Then he blinked before asking her, "Hey um...what is your name?"

While that went on, Cas decided to chat with Speck for a moment. "Okay, once they're gone, we're both getting changes." She whispered with a light blush. "And also, good job on holding down your temper in there." She said with a smile, patting his back slightly.

Leah watched him get out of his shell before blinking. Without it, he did look a little different, but fine...aside from being a little soaked in his own pee. "You still look cuter with the shell on." She said with a smile as she decided to go sit down, slowly. "Don't take too long, please, I actually still needed a little bit of cleaning her too now. I don't want to walk around smelling like...you know." She finished with a blush as she looked away.

[Abnormal one]

While it was slightly unusual that they were wearing diapers because they liked them, the Eevee definitely wasn't going to judge them for it since they had had some involvement in getting her out of that place. "It's no trouble to let you stay, it'd be nice to have some company after being stuck in that place for so long anyway" she smiled at the Axew. "I'm Kara by the way. And you?" She asked, her eyelashes flickering a little as she smiled at him.

"Good, this cold thing has been due to be changed for a while now" he told her quietly as he shifted around in it a little. Besides his pee, it had also grown a little soggy from his sweating that he'd been doing in that place. "Also er.. Thanks. Do I get some kind of reward for being a good boy?" He asked a little hopefully though really he was just trying to push his luck and see if it got him anywhere.

------------

Blushing again as she told him he was cute with his shell, he managed to spit out a shy "thank you" before heading over to the cleaning are. Rather than a shower or anything, this bathroom only really had a large wooden bucket with a cleaning sponge to wipe down with. This was because Speck being a fire type really couldn't handle standing under a stream of water, so they never had anything like that put in.

Taking the sponge he gently wiped himself down with it to clean the pee away, shivering a little as the water touched him. After cleaning up downstairs he also gave the inside of his shell a clean too, soaping up his lower body and his shell with a soap bar they had in there. After a few minutes he washed the soap out and came back out to Leah to find a towel he could use. "It's all yours" he told her with a little smile, feeling comfortable around her.

[CalmlyEccentric]

"Kenor." He said with a smile before blushing softly as he looked away. Why was it that she suddenly looked so pretty to him? He certainly wasn't going to comment on that, but he was going to try to change the subject. "I think we're safe together on the surface, so we can probably head to your place with each other." He said.

"I'm fine with you guys doing that, it's safer up here, like you said, and it isn't night, but you guys should probably be able to find your way back without a map." Kenor said as he looked back and outside of the building, seeing that the sun was still up. "We should really go before night comes.

Cas had or rolled her eyes when he asked for a reward. Of course she wanted to give him or anything, but instead, she stood next to Speck before she suddenly smacked his padded backside. To make it even better, his diaper would provide him with little protection to the hit.

Leah nodded softly and went ahead to start taking bath herself. Because she had hands and all, getting to some places was easier for her than it was for Rufus. However, this did result in her doing a lot of bending over while in the tub when the tops of her feet. "So...what exactly do you plan on doing after this, Rufus?" Leah asked as she bathed then and there, not caring if his eyes wandered around a bit more than someone would have liked.

[Abnormal one]

"Okay, I'll show you to my home.. Kenor" the Eevee said with a smile, wanting to head back and get some food desperately before she let people know she was okay. No doubt Kenor would want some too and to wash up and stuff. "Thank you both again by the way.. Also tell the others I said that too. I'll make it up to you somehow" she added with a bow, though it seemed like the Breloom and Quilava were busy with each other instead which made her giggle. "Let's go Kenor"

Not exactly sure what Cas was up to as she stood beside him, Speck let out a surprised meep sound as he felt Cas give him a surprise smack right on his bottom. "O-oi! Don't be mean" he protested, giving her a rather indignant and pouty look.

He'd thought he'd handled himself and protected Cas extremely well in that dungeon so it was a bit of a let down that she wasn't at least going to do something special for him. "Hmmph.. I didn't want anything anyway.." He sulked, laying on the floor and acting disinterested.

----------

Drying himself off a little, his eyes couldn't help but wander over to the Shiny Charmander as she bathed herself. She was putting herself in a lot of rather suggestive positions and he blushed even more, pretending it was no big deal as he spoke to her. "Um.. I guess I was going to go home. I doubt anyone will notice I was even gone though" he told her, realising that it probably sounded pretty sad to say it.

[CalmlyEccentric]

Kenor nodded and would leave the place with his new friend. Hopefully things would go well for them from here because they had gone through a lot. Both pokemon deserved to be on a break from all of the...drama, so to speak. Maybe a hot bath would do?

Cas blinked when he suddenly just seemed to get all pouty on her. Then she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not being mean by doing something like that. It's really more of me just messing with you. Anyway, what would you even want out of all of this?" She asked as she sat down next to him, putting a hand on his back to let him know that he had her attention here.

---

"Yeah, same here...although, why would your parents not notice that you're missing? My parents wouldn't notice because they were sort of...neglectful because I was different and wasn't as interested in fighting as the rest of the family and well, they didn't like that." She said as she stepped out of the wooden tub, dropping the sponge in there in the process.

[Abnormal one]

(Do you wanna drop the Eevee and Axew for the moment and come back to them in future or something? I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with 3 different things going on X-x )

Speck considered this for a little, not actually sure himself what he wanted. "I don't know, maybe you could do dinner for me and feed it to me like a baby?" He suggested without really thinking about it, sort of as a half joke as he didn't really expect Cas would want to baby him any further than changing diapers.

--------

"Oh.. Because my parents aren't alive anymore" he told her simply, realising that she had no way of knowing that in advance. "This skull is the last thing I have to remind me of them you know? It's important to me for that and a lot of other reasons even if it does look like a diaper" he added as he gave the skull a pat before offering her a towel. "Here you go~"

[CalmlyEccentric]

(Yeah, that's what I had in mind.)

Speck got one of those 'I'm going to hit you' stares from Cas before she suddenly jabbed him in the side. "I am in no way your babysitter!" She said with a huff. "Now, if you really want something, tell me what it is and let it be something that won't make me mad to give to you." She said while crossing her arms there and glaring at him.

---

"Jeez...that doesn't sound good at all. That sounds just like what that Axew said. He lost his partners in the last part of the cave." She said before taking the towel with a quick "Thank you" and then drying herself off. "So how exactly does it remind you of them?" She asked as she dried off her face a bit.

[Abnormal one]

Flinching a little on the jab in the side, Speck overacted somewhat by falling and rolling on the floor with an "owwww" noise before he looked back up at her as she was glaring at him. "Okay fine. I want you to give me a hug like you did when you thought that face was going to get us" he told her, giving her a look to let her know he was serious. "And then I really want a dry diaper please" he added, hoping she wouldn't react badly to his hug request.

Speck was a rather touchy-feely sort of Pokemon, hence why he was always getting up in Cas's personal space all the time. He knew that Cas generally hated that sort of stuff, but he felt like he'd at least earned that much in the grand scheme of things. It wasn't like he was asking her out or anything.

------------

"I lost them a lot before that unfortunately. But this skull I have was given to me by them at birth, so it's like a memento of them bringing me into this world" he told her with a little smile as he thought about them. "I wonder if they'd be proud of who I was now.."

[CalmlyEccentric]

Cas rolled her eyes as she saw him roll around on the floor while groaning in pain. She didn't even hit him that hard or in a spot where it would hurt that much. Upon hearing what he wanted, she huffed, "Now why exactly do you want me to hug you? I hugged you that time because I was scared, not because it was just wanted. I'm not your mother, Speck, now just lie there so I can change your diaper." She said before going off to get everything from their 'bathroom'

---

"I'm pretty sure they would be." She said with a smile, setting a paw on his shoulder. "Hey, maybe...if you'd like, since I don't think I would be too happy about heading back home, we could uh...form a team? To be honest, as scary as it was, it was sort of fun." She said with a bit of a sheepish smile.

[Abnormal one]

Pouting as he stayed laid on the floor, he muttered to himself while he was pretty sure she was out of earshot. "I want to hug you because I like you, stupid.." He said quietly with a sigh, folding his arms and feeling a bit grumpy again. This was frustrating.. He was frustrated more at himself than her though. She'd been giving him so many mixed messages lately and he didn't know really what he wanted after all.

---------

"You want to form a team with me?" He asked in a little surprise, looking at her to see if and was joking. As usual though she was being completely sincere. "If we did that though I'd rather go to easier dungeons than that one, I felt pretty useless back there" he told her with a nervous laugh. "But if you really want to.. Then I couldn't say no you you~"
