Your day is what you make it. Every morning you wake up at the same time and expect much of the same. Society is a creature of habit and to desire expectations is nothing that is considered abnormal. Of course to search for something new and exciting is at the very core of each and every person. However, when that new thing is discovered is in the eyes of the beholder. What happens when the unexpected is something wholly and totally alien. How one deals with it is at the very center of one's development.
Gadget was a young boy who until very recently had a pretty standard life for a kid. At 13 years of age, the Chimchar had very little to worry about other than school. He had a small group of friends with who he was rather content. The boy did fairly well in school and excelled in some subjects more than others. But when he learned about the legendary evolutionary stones, it became more than a simple interest for him.
While he and his friend Robin were exploring the stones at the local museum, they had been offered an experimental substance. To them the promotional product resembled cookies and they weren't about to turn down sweets. As such, they took it willingly. Little did they know that it would cause them a drastic reduction in size and leave them at a loss for what to do. Now they stood at the precipice of the abyss wondering what their new world would have for them.
Gadget stood behind a chair where his friend was just getting done with researching their issue on the internet. The results weren't very promising other than what they found a possibility for the project they had ingested earlier. They weren't quite as fortunate to locate a solution. The chimchar was barely as tall as the chair now and the top of his head was equal to the top of it. When they finally gave up, Robin hopped off from the furnishing and onto the floor.
When they were face to face, the shinx had to look a little bit upward to gaze into his friend's eyes. Little did he realize that he had forgotten to continue to hold up his swim trunks, so now he was completely naked. He made no attempt to cover himself until the air conditioning made him feel more chilled than it normally did. Upon gazing downward he realized what had just happened. In a quick moment of vanity, he covered himself but it seemed like Gadget didn't mind either way.
"So what do we do?" Gadget asked as he was mostly a loss for action.
Robin shrugged. "Maybe we should just roll with it? I mean what else can we do?"
"But what about our parents and our other friends?" The Chimchar looked down seeming defeated.
"It'll be alright. We can have fun with it. Who knows? Maybe it will be exciting." The shinx placed his arm around the other boy trying to comfort him.
The Chimchar hesitated a moment and then returned the affection. "I guess your right."
Once the twos arms were wrapped around each other, Gadget's own pants slipped off. Of course, he didn't quite have the proper male equipment but his body pushed against the Shinx's groin. Though since it wasn't sexual neither of them got hard. The strange sense of warmth still coursed through him and being locked in the embrace didn't really help. They didn't break the hug for some time and Robin nestled his wet nose into the other boy's neck and lightly kissed him with a quick peck on his fur.
Gadget blushed heavily and lightly pushed away. But it wasn't because he didn't like it, rather he was dealing with a fit of lightheadedness. He walked over towards the bed, the base of which was seeming even close to eye level than ever before. He was definitely taller than it, but simply extending his arm out was only just enough to touch it.
"Are you alright?" Robin noticed that his friend seemed a bit bothered by something.
Gadget shook his head. "I'm just feeling a little light-headed.
"Oh...maybe you should lay down? I can join you if you want?" The shinx was feeling more in the mood for affection than normal.
The chimchar looked over to his friend. "Sure...that sounds nice."
The bigger cub eased up on the bed, which took a lot more effort than it normally did. His lithe body was completely flat and there wasn't much a figure for Robin to look at.
The shinx didn't mind and was still idly standing there. When he finally did move the pants that were still clinging to his paws were kicked to the side. Gadget patted the spot next to him and within a split second, Robin catapulted forward. The shinx lurched as far as his body would allow him. Fortunately for his friend, he wasn't quite long enough to reach over the idly laying down Pokefur. Now that they were on the same bed, Robin crept up so they were side by side.
The two cubs body warmth intermingled once again. The sensation of warmth only getting worse since they were no longer independent of each other. Gadget placed his arm over the other cub and stretched his arm over the smaller boy. He began to explore the other boy's body once again. Robin cooed in response to the touch. His body relaxing even despite the rampant sensation of balmy warmth still ever-present.
Soon the shinx turned around so that they were facing one another. The yellow in Robin's eyes reflected only vaguely off the black pupils of the bigger cub. The shinx stretched his arm over the other cub again and the two shared a hug that was somewhat obstructed by the bed. The sheets in the bed continued to wrinkle in response to their continued movement. Eventually, the smaller boy shifted his paw from embracing to rubbing around in slow yet methodical circles over his friends back.
Gadget didn't have many forms to his body as he hadn't yet developed much musculature. But still, Robin found himself intrigued enough to explore the minute curves along with the other boys back, shoulder blades, and eventually down to his waist. As he continued to glide further downward, the Chimchar couldn't help but smile when his friend hesitated just short of his own butt. Gadget moved his hands down and helped his friend to break the sudden barrier of awkwardness that was created by touching that semi-sensitive area.
Now that he knew that the other cub had no issue with it, Robin was more willing to explore. Within moments his paw landed on the mounds of flesh that he figured was Gadgets butt. He squeezed a bit which caused the Chimchar to flinch ever so slightly. Since the bigger boy's hand was still down there he continued to help him get over his sense of whimsy. Eventually, he slid him over the crack of his butt and forced the other boy's finger to explore a bit.
Robin wasn't sure what the other boy was getting at. He knew that he didn't quite have the same equipment down there and he hadn't quite learned how to navigate the area. Eventually, his primal instinct came in and he began to explore the area more fluidly. He used a single finger to push in between the cheeks while using his spare paw to spread it further. The cub began to wonder exactly what it looked like down there.
Their body heat was steadily increasing with the rise in sensual activity. So much so that either boy was sweating, even if it wasn't entirely noticeable. After a few seconds of sliding back and forth, Robin pushed his way in finally breaking the surface of the crack. Eventually, as he continued to explore he found more holes than he was expecting. As he was nearing one of them, Gadget let out a sigh clearly showing signs of some level of pleasure.
By this point both cubs were sweating pretty heavily. Little did they realize that the shrinking was only picking up pace, the more they indulged in each other. The two wiped their forheads as their evident fever seemed to be taking its tool on them. But this minor issue did not dissuade Robin from his intention of returning the favor from earlier to the other cub. Besides...he too was enjoying himself just as well as being so close to his friend.
Robin looked up at his friend's face and Gadget was biting his upper left. The chimchar had not self-indulged as much as most boys his age, so the sensation of his friend's sexual advance was a lot for him to bear. The Shinx continued his touch and ran his finger along the inside of Robin's butt cheeks. Each and every time he neared the same spot, the result was the same and so eventually he began to focus on that area.
Gradually curiosity got the better of him and he pressed his finger further inside the hole. Gadget couldn't help but spread his legs. He began to pump it in and out as if he was pleasuring himself, figuring that a similar action would produce similar results. The further he dove his longest finger inside, the more the other cub was sighing. Robin picked up speed ever so slowly and before long and unknown fluid seeped out around his finger.
Gadget let out a deep sigh and Robin, even despite having no idea what it was, figured that the other cub had reached his limit. Slowly the shinx retracted his finger and the insipid warmth that was racking his body began to finally dissipate. Looking beyond his friend, the bed and its surroundings seemed much larger than they had only moments before. Fear began to set in as he felt like his shrinking predicament had no end in sight.
It took a moment for Gadget to come around from his state of sexual stupor. When he finally did, he leaned in to kiss the other boy. They joined each other in a soft embrace and laid there for a moment. Before long they drifted into a light nap even despite the feint sense of warmth coursing through their veins. Their bodies continuing to shrink little by little until they were but a fraction of their original height. The Chimchar's dreams offering him only a little solace, at least until he awoke to the same reality in which he had escaped.
They awoke after about an hour of lazing about. Their bodies were now more chilled since the heating effect of the dynamite had finally worn off. Gadget was the first one to rouse out his state of slumber. When he did, he looked around to find even the bed a huge representation of his former self. Panic finally set in and he lurched over to wake his friend who was still sleeping. The chimchar shook his friends a few times who quickly came to it as he was a soft sleeper.
Robin just about screamed when he awoke, but his voice carried nowhere fast and no one heard his cry for help. Gadget tried to calm him down and offered him his hand to hold but the other cub was just much too panicked. The shinx's heart was beating a mile a minute and he took a moment to collect himself before remembering his own words just moments ago. A smile eventually crept across his face and he felt rather silly for falling prey to the fear of the moment.
Looking around, Gadget took in the sights for a moment. Everything was huge and imposing. Even the sheets on the bed looked like a makeshift tent to his eyes. Moving around wasn't quite as easy either. With each step he took, the space he covered was very minute and made very little progress in the grand scheme of things. Gadget bent over and tried to pick up a very small bundle of the sheets in his paw but the fabric barely moved and he struggled to budge it at all.
"This is crazy. Look how small we are..." Gadget let go of the sheets as it retracted back to the mattress.
Robin approached his friend and put his hand on the other cub's shoulder. "It'll be alright. Let's try to make something of it."
Gadget nodded and the two began to walk together towards the edge of the bed. Looking beyond was quite imposing to both of them. The floor seemed so far away and everything that was within sight seemed like it had been multiplied several times. The chimchar looked down and took a deep breath. He knew they had to get off the bed and the idea of that seemed nothing short of descending a mountain to him now.
The chimchar looked back at his friend now, who wasn't much shorter than he was now. He nodded at him and Gadget took the first leap down, using his climbing skills to his advantage. The first jump was the most difficult. He had to essentially repel off the side of the mattress by using the sheets, which really weren't designed for the activity. Once he had made it about half the way, Gadget beckoned to his friend to begin the descent.
Robin wasn't so keen on climbing as his friend whose primal nature made him almost innately good at the skill. The shinx was much more methodical and slow going about climbing down. He generated a little bit of static on his body in order to produce some traction as he made his way down. This offered him a great deal more traction but also exerted more energy than simply going down. However, both of them were able to descend without much difficulty.
Once they were on the floor, they took a minute to gaze back at the bed they had jumped climbed down from. From the perspective of where they were, it was nothing short of massive. But they didn't stare for long and soon turned their gaze forward. The expanse of the floor remained in front of them. Even the threads of the carpet seemed large, the frills of which rubbed against the sides of both of their calves.
As they began to walk forward, occasionally they walked past the debris of various sorts. Some food crumbs and various small toys were scattered around the room. Luckily the food had not yet attracted any ants and so they remained there waiting to be cleaned up. Toys on the other hand were another ordeal entirely. When they passed a tennis ball, it was almost as big as they were. It gave them a sense of just how bad it had gotten.
They did their best to avoid staring at it for long and continued their trek. Neither had a plan as to where they were going and continued to let their feet carry them forward. After several minutes they found themselves near the door. Gadget looked back at his friend and then back at the door. Luckily the door was still open and so they didn't have to concern themselves with the issue of opening it. Their bodies were much colder now than before, especially since the warming sensation had left them.
After they passed through the door, they found themselves in the center of the hallway. The long path in front of them seemed like a drag strip with carpet instead of a roadway. Right down the hall, they could make out the door that led outside. Suddenly they heard a muffled thump and the two tiny cubs rustled in their place and fell on their bums. Gadget looked over at his friend. Both of them seem confused and uncertain as to just what was going on.
"What was that?" Robin asked with a tremble in his voice.
Gadget looked around searching for the source. "I'm not sure..."
The sound didn't repeat itself so eventually, the two cubs picked themselves up. They continued walking into the hall until they reached the living room. When they arrived, they heard the faint boom of the television. It was difficult to make out but to the two boys, it resembled a newscast.
"Someone's here...what do we do?" The shinx whispered forgetting that they probably couldn't be heard anyways.
Gadget looked around but the couch they were behind obstructed his view. " I mean...I don't think we have to worry. Come on... let's see if we can get outside and explore."
Robin nodded and continued following his friend. Eventually, they arrived at the front door which was closed.
"Looks like we're going to have to hide and wait for someone to open it." The chimchar waved his friend over to where their own shoes had been placed earlier.
The two cubs proceeded to hide on the side of the shoes. They could make out a few dirt stains on the side of the base of the shoe. Robin filed in next to his friends and they stood together idly waiting for whomever it was on the sofa to open the door. Eventually, they got up. The familiar thump of the seemingly giant feet on the floor sounded once they got up. Fear began to stir inside the boys and Gadget had to reach over to calm his friend who was still quite afraid of their situation.
The large person in front of them continued to walk. Looking up Robin realized who it was. It was the boy's mother who obviously had no idea they were literally right in front of her. She looked much larger to them and the woman's lithe figure cast a shadow over their location. The seemingly large Luxio approached the door and opened it. She stood there idly for a moment. The two cubs knew this was their chance to get out of the house.
Gadget was the first one to rush forward and Robin remained behind for a moment. When the Chimchar realized it he waved in a beckoning motion. The shinx responded in kind since he felt like he didn't have any other option. Once they were outside the door, the warmth of the sun soon fell upon them. The woman continued to walk forward into the grass, heading over to where the mailbox was. It seemed she was going to see if there were any deliveries.
The two cubs now stood before a field of grass. The blades of which didn't seem all that imposing for where they were. Of course, they were still on the cement basing of the entrance of the house. Gadget slowly walked forward and offered his hand to Robin so that he wouldn't be lost once again. By this point, the mother had already grabbed the mail and had several letters in her paw. Gadget noticed this and knew they had to act fast so that they wouldn't be spotted on the platform below the door.
Gadget lurched forward and began to run with his friend in tow. It took them several seconds to actually go across it but once they did they were able to hop down from the cement to the dirt below. It wasn't much of a dropoff but the grass offered them a little more coverage than the nothing they had only moments before. The Chimchar pushed his friend down to the floor and kept as flat as possible himself. As the Luxio got closer the sound of her feet thumping became more evident.
The woman soon walked right over to where they were laid down. Her strides were long enough to completely avoid a misstep. Her shadow mostly blocked out the sun and for a moment, there wasn't as much light to be seen. But it wasn't for long since she didn't stop. Once she had passed, the sun returned its bright gaze over their location. Soon they heard the shutting of the door and they knew they were alone once again.
Gadget got up off of Robin and offered a helping paw to the other boy. Once they were both up, they realized they weren't all that much bigger than the grass itself. It was pretty warm outside and the Chimchar wondered if they could make it over to the local pond. Under normal circumstances, it was a 15-minute walk but he figured it would take much longer now than they were but a fraction of their normal size.
They stood their idly a moment and Gadget looked over at Robin. For a moment they were at a loss for what to do. The chimchar felt like it would be more exciting than this but so far nothing was really that noticeable. The bigger cub began to wonder what it might be like to be ant size, even scratching his head and thinking about it a moment. Suddenly his body began to feel warm again, the familiar sensation of warmth taking over his frame.
Gadget looked over at his friend who was staring at him. The other cub was now eye to eye with him as it seemed he was shrinking again. Robin looked at him in disbelief. For the first time, he got a clear view of just what it looked like. The shinx was at a loss for why he too was not shrinking. Before long the Chimchar was smaller than he was, as was the case when they were normal size.
"Help me!" The confidence that the smaller boy had exuded now dissipated into fear.
Robin looked around, seeming confused. "I don't know what to do..."
Little by little the monkey slipped beneath the other boy's line of sight. Eventually, the Shinx was able to see clearly over his head.
Gadget's whole body was shaking even despite the balmy warmth he was experiencing. His body wasn't quite hot enough to sweat but now the grass was taller than he was. He tried to close his eyes to stop thinking about it, believing that if he ignored it long enough it would go away. Robin continued to keep an eye on him to make sure he could save the other cub if he shrunk too far but he knew there wasn't much he could do. Besides he was small as well just nowhere near as small as his friend was.
After a few seconds, the warmth finally died off. His body immediately felt better and the breeze of the wind in the air offered a little solace to the now even more diminished cub. Robin kneeled down to the other cub who now just came up to his thigh. He held back a giggle as the Chimchar looked almost like a toy to him. Trying to pick him up was more difficult than he thought. Gadget struggled a bit when he was hoisted around his waist.
"Stop! This isn't funny." Gadget wriggled in the other boy's hands and broke free rather easily.
Robin covered his mouth. "Sorry I couldn't help it. You're so small now."
"This isn't good. Maybe we'll keep shrinking...I don't want to disappear." The chimchar fell back flat on his behind seeming defeated.
The shinx scratched his head. "I mean you stopped, so at least there's that. Besides didn't you agree we should just make the most of it?"
"But..." Gadget trailed off feeling like he was the lesser boy in this situation.
Robin reached over and patted the other cub on the head. "It will be fine. Don't worry...
The chimchar crossed his arms defensively. He liked the idea of being bigger for once and yet again he found himself the smaller one, much to his dismay. Gadget pouted a bit and Robin kneeled down so he could hug his friend. The sudden show of affection made the smaller boy feel somewhat better and he couldn't frown for long.
"So what do we do now?" Gadget had lost his sense of adventure and was seeking guidance.
Robin scratched his head. "Hmm well, we could wait for me to shrink or we can make it fun for you like this?"
"What do you mean?" The chimchar shrugged as he wasn't entirely sure what his friend meant.
The shinx lifted upward after placing his hands underneath the smaller boy's armpits and lifted. "This."
Robin used all his strength to propel the boy forward as if he was an airplane. The adrenaline rushed through the smaller boy, even if the prospect of fear remained ever-present. The breeze rushed by him as he flew around orbiting the bigger cub.
Eventually, Gadget allowed his arms to stick out to his side. The thrill of the moment gradually overcame him and he let out an excited whimper to show his approval. Robin wasn't able to keep it up for long and relaxed his hold on the chimchar. Gradually he brought the chimchar for a landing, squarely on his bare stomach.
"That was pretty fun." The monkey was still squealing in joy and took a second to settle down.
Robin grinned and stretched a bit. He had expended more energy than he would have liked and felt a little light-headed. He fell back on his butt and grasped his head as the feeling seemed to intensify and he couldn't maintain standing upright anymore.
Soon the familiar sensation of heat began to overtake his form again. The headache he had made the fever even worse as he grasped his head hoping to ease the pressure. His body felt weak and Gadget looked over up at him in concern. Little by little Robin's body was shrinking right before his eyes. Though, at first, it was difficult to tell since he was bigger than Gadget was. It became more obvious as the chimchars tilted head had to accommodate for less and less of a size difference between them.
Before long, Gadget watched as the other cub slipped below his own line of sight. The feeling inside of Robin finally dying down. He could think straight now and the headache he had just had was now gone. The shinx rubbed his forehead and opened his eyes. When he did, he found that his friend was staring him down and looked bigger than he remembered. It wasn't quite as concerning to him, since he had gotten used to it and accepted the notion only moments ago.
"Hey look! You're little again!" The now bigger boy offered a paw to the crestfallen one.
Robin shrugged as he was more glad that his friend was in a good mood again. "A-yep. Looks like I shrank again..."
"I wonder how little we will get...It doesn't seem like it's stopping." Gadget helped pull up his friend who accepted his help.
Now they were both smaller than the grass. It was an odd predicament to be sure but they were getting used to it. Since they couldn't see over the blades of grass, they began to walk forward together. Wading through it was more difficult than they thought. Each blade of grass was strong and they had to push through it as if it were bamboo. With a little effort, the firm turf bent backward and they were able to make their way through it.
Soon a familiar sound of thumping occurred. Robin, looked up assuming it to be his father. The constant pounding was very close together and repeated rather rapidly. A barking noise followed and within moments they could hear the sound of sniffing. It was apparent that the family dog was out in the yard.
"We need to hide, or she might find us." Robin whispered as quietly as he could.
The two crept away slowly but it was no use. The sound grew louder and more apparent until eventually, the furry foot of the dog was upon them.
A loud woof resounded as it plummeted its nose right near the spot where they were standing. The sudden intrusion caused both of the boys to fall and back away ever so slowly. The dog's face gliding back and forth as it searched for the source of the smell. What it smelt was them and they had no idea that was the case. Robin quickly leaped to his feet. He knew one thing that could distract the dog no matter what.
"Come on! We need to find a tennis ball."
The shinx got on all fours and whisked over to save his friend who latched onto him. Robin's strength had returned to him. Gadget's body was swung around like he was weightless, despite being the bigger of the two. The smaller boy continued to bullet through the yard. The constant resounding of thumping behind them, being a stark reminder that time was of the essence. The chimchar screamed, assuming the worst as a cloud of darkness consumed them.
Raindrops began to fall as lightning struck nearby. The dog yelped and began to run in the opposite direction, having given up on its chase. It seemed that a freak act of weather had saved them in a split moment. Before long rain began to fall. At first, it wasn't obvious as the only water they could see was slipping off the blades of grass but soon it picked up the pace and they could feel the downpour themselves.
"Uh oh...what do we do?" Robin finally stopped in his tracks.
Gadget's body was slumped on the floor and took a second to recover. "We need to get back inside..."
To be continued...
